CHARLES MANSON FOR PRESIDENT I’m quite sure if I took Charles Manson, got him sprung from jail, put a little makeup on his forehead to cover the swastika, trimmed his scrabbly beard, fixed his teeth, taught him how to fake a warm smile, dressed him in a new Armani suit and got The New York Times to run a front page puff piece with the headline: “From Helter Skelter to Hope and Change, Charles Manson, Democrat, makes great strides,” I could get every Democrat and liberal to vote for Manson for President in 2016.

Democrats.

They always say they would vote for a Republican if . . . if . . . but . . . but . . . blah blah blah, but they always find a reason not to.

In 2012 smart Democrats knew Mitt Romney would have made a better President for this country than Barack Obama.

Most intelligent Democrats could see Obama was losing us the Middle East . . . was tearing this country apart . . . was losing the confidence of all of our allies . . . and dividing us apart racially so that today, sadly, the division between the races is worse than ever.

“Romney,” my Democrat friends said. “I could never vote for him.

He’s rich. Besides, he put the family dog in a crate at the top of his car and let him ride there for miles etc., etc., etc.”

It was ever thus. Three of the finest Republican Presidents in our nation’s history couldn’t initially win a single Democratic vote.

Democrats wouldn’t vote for Abraham Lincoln because he was ugly and he had warts.

They wouldn’t vote for Teddy Roosevelt because they felt he had an Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which caused him to

run up and down hills screaming “CHARGE!” They wouldn’t vote for Ronald Reagan because he had been an actor and they didn’t like his performance in Bedtime for Bonzo.

Here’s a quick look at the only four Republican candidates I would vote for in 2016, and let me tell you the Democrat’s excuse for not voting for them: 1. Jeb Bush: “No way,” my Democrat friends will say. “I could never vote for someone with that last name.”

2 . S c o t t Wa l k e r : “ U g h , ” my Democrat friends will say.

“According to The New York Times he didn’t even graduate college. I would never vote for a man who can’t do calculus.”

3. Marco Rubio: “Yuck,” my Democrat friends will say. “He’s young and dumb.” Dumb is a word Democrats throw around about every Republican candidate. As far as they are concerned, the two smartest Presidents in our history were Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter.

4. Chris Christie: “After what he did to traffic on the George Washington Bridge,” my Democrat friends will shriek, “I will never believe he wasn’t behind it. Plus, he’s too chubby.”

As I said, Democrats will only vote for Democrats.

Which brings us to Saint Hillary.

If you’re a Republican and you believe that Hillary’s problems with emails will cost her a single Democrat vote in a presidential election, you’re kidding yourself.

Democrats will only vote for Democrats and that’s why Hillary is a shoo-in in 2016.

Here’s where Republicans can try to influence Independents (not Democrats) to vote for a Republican candidate.

Remember that Jimmy Carter, the worst President in this nation’s history, in the middle of inflation and gas lines, got over 35 million Democrat votes.

Republicans shouldn’t make a big deal about email-gate. Or, as one wag put it, Hillary had the same answer as Bill Clinton did when

IN THE NEWS

he got into trouble. She said, “I did not have textual relations with that email server.”

Instead, they should concentrate o n t h e O b a m a / Ke r r y p l a n t o ev ent u al l y g i v e I r an n u c l e ar weapons. Ask Hillary today whether she is in favor of John Kerry and Barack Obama being in charge of the fate of the world.

And for God’s sake, let’s stop saying, “Are you in favor of Iran getting the bomb?”

Instead, ask the question this way: “Are you in favor of eventually giving the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei nuclear weapons?”

Sounds a little more frightening when you talk about giving the bomb to a religious nut who has said, “God willing, soon the removal of Israel from the world will come together for the Muslims.”

Finally, speaking of nuts, we shall all pray for the health and wellbeing of Hillary Clinton. Because if she doesn’t become the Democratic nominee for President in 2016, we will be faced with the candidacy of Elizabeth Warren, a socialist, liberal Democratic candidate who will make us wish that Barack Obama would seek a third term.

Warren is a liar.

Warren had represented herself to both Penn and Harvard for federal reporting purposes as CherokeeNative American.

When confronted with this information, Warren admitted she had filled out forms listing herself as Native American, claiming she wanted to meet other Native Americans.

Detailed genealogical investigation by a group of Cherokee genealogists showed that Warren had no Cherokee or other Native American ancestry.

She’s a liar, but if she runs, Democrat voters will make her our next President.

Being bombed to dust by Iran won’t sound so bad when that happens.

Us v Them At East Hampton Airport Hearing

By Kitty Merrill

A standing room only crowd packed the meeting space at LTV Studios in Wainscott last Thursday night. Dozens of speakers signed up to weigh in on proposed restrictions at East Hampton Airport.

A Battle Royale between those with aviation interests and noiseaffected neighbors over a proposed helicopter ban and the enactment of curfews never materialized during the nearly four-hour undertaking.

East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell nipped outbursts and backtalk in the bud after the first civilian speaker (See page 29 for comments from elected officials) elicited groans from segments of the audience with his testimony.

Mitchell Moss the director of the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation, drew the round of groans. He reported the center conducted an economic analysis of the airport and found that stricter regulations at the airport would result in users choosing to fly to other locales. Over time, there would be a change in land use patterns and, he emphasized, “Any change in the airport will affect working people more than any other group in town.” Revenues the town derives from the facility

will drop, as will the incomes of those whose work is aligned with airport users.

The notion that the restrictions will bring about an economic downturn as wealthy residents choose somewhere easier to access

as their vacation spot was repeated throughout the hearing by those opposed to the restrictions. Some spoke of working for customers who use the airport and others identified themselves as people who work at airport.

Cindy Herbst spoke of mention that the restrictions would be put in place for the summer and reconsidered after the season. That will be too late, she said, the damage will be done.

The fear-mongering and doomsday predictions were predictable, Frank Dalene offered.

Airport businesses that “profit from our misery raise scary falsehoods,” Susan McGraw Keber said. If the only reason people care about East Hampton is because they can get there by helicopter, if a helicopter ban makes them leave, “Then let them go,” she said, to applause.

Patricia Currie characterized wealthy second homeowners who will leave the area in the face of a chopper ban “mythical beasts.”

Beyond the threat of losing rich customers, those opposed to the regulations raised a specter of the eventual closure of the facility, as revenues dip and town wide taxpayers chafe at paying maintenance costs. That a townappointed budget committee couldn’t reach a consensus on the potential economic impact of the measures bolstered the argument.

Terminal Expansion Plans Worry Environmentalists Independent/Rick Murphy

By Rick Murphy

The United Riverhead Terminal wants permission from Riverhead Town to build two 19,000-gallon ethanol tanks on its sprawling 286acre facility in Northville Beach.

Though the request at first glance seems mundane, critics say it is the prelude to becoming a fullfledged gasoline storage facility. The resulting 18-wheelers going to and

fro will crumble the local roadways and an accident could level the neighborhood, they say.

“As far as road impact one full tanker is the equivalent of 96 cars,” said Neil Krupnick, a spokesman for the Northville Beach Civic Association. And there is the threat of explosions. “A gasoline truck turned over just last week in Melville,” he pointed out.

The ethanol is blended with gasoline to make retail gasoline.

United has made it clear it wants to become a regional supplier.

But environmental groups like the Group For The East End said the facility, located amongst farms and residential homes on Sound Avenue, is ill-suited for that use, and that the single-lane roadways couldn’t possibly stand up to the wear, tear and traffic.

Opponents of the proposal think the project should be subject to a full environmental impact study.

Despite that, the town board seems poised to issue a “Neg Dec” thereby green lighting the project. There is a public hearing at town hall tonight, and the public record is open for

• Winterization Specialists • Air Conditioning • Outdoor Showers • Pool Heaters • Bathrooms • Air Purification • Gas & Oil Furnaces

• Summer Openings • Boiler Replacement • Dehumidification • Hot Water Heaters • Additions & Alterations • Water Treatment Systems • Solar Installations

30 days.

“The crux of the whole thing, from our perspective, is that the town isn’t giving it the requisite hard look,” said Sid Bail of the Wading River Civic Association.

After Hurricane Sandy the state recognized the need for regional gasoline storage facilities. Though Bail said United claims it is responding to that need, it did so a year later. “There was a $10 million contract and the state awarded it to a Holtsville facility,” Bail said.

“United applied a year later. They already knew someone else was awarded the contract.”

The Northville plant is owned

by United Metro Energy, which has aggressively moved to become the largest supplier of heating oil and motor fuels in the greater NYCmetro region. It recently purchased a facility in Brooklyn and has another operation in EPCAL. The Chairman and CEO of UMEC is the flamboyant and controversial John A. Catsimatidis, then a billionaire who once financed his own run for Mayor of New York City and is a major political donor for both parties.

Riverhead Town Super visor Sean Walter and the town board members have taken a nonchalant attitude towards the proposal, accused of rushing it through the approval process despite significant community opposition.

Krupnick noted that Victor Prusinowski, a former Riverhead To w n C o u n c i l m a n i s a p a i d spokesman for United as well as the head of the town’s Republican party, which controls the town board.

“A lot of dots can be connected,” Krupnick said. “I think there is a conflict of interest there.”

The opposition is mounting.

State Senator Ken Lavalle is sending a representative to the town board meeting tonight, as is Congressman Lee Zeldin.

“This facility is in a residential neighborhood. The United facility is preexisting and non-conforming.

EPCAL is now the center of industrial development,” Krupnick argued.

Jammin’

Independent / Courtesy RHSD

Second graders at Roanoke Avenue Elementary School spend some time each year listening to, reading and writing poetry. They begin by looking at poetry and comparing it to other genres.

Poetry jams are a fun way to share the young poets’ hard work and poems with an audience. The room is decorated, a stage area is set up, the poems are memorized, and the parents are invited.

“It doesn’t take second graders very long to figure out that poets use different conventions to make their poems exciting,” explained second grade teacher Debra Spinelli.

“After reading many ‘mentor’ poems by their favorite poets, the students eagerly write their own poems trying out many of the conventions: rhyme, alliteration, onomatopoeia, repetition and similes found in the poems they read. A poetry jam helps the students remember those elements and gives them a chance to practice their presentation skills.”

Chamber Networking

Marching Leprechauns Independent / Ed and Wayne, Long Island Web

On March 7, 11 of Main Street, Riverhead’s top bars and restaurants came together for the first ever March of the Leprechauns - a St. Patrick’s Day themed pub crawl, where participants dressed up in celebration of “All Things Green” in order to raise money for two East End-based causes. Over 1200 people attended and $12,000 was raised.

Participants dressed as a variety characters (leprechauns, fairies, even Gumby made an appearance) and purchased bracelets from local vendors that entitled them to special promotions.

“We had no idea what to expect,” said Nicole Evers, Director of Private Events for the Suffolk Theater, and point person for the event. “No one’s ever held a March of the Leprechauns before.”

Leading up to the event, Paddy, the event’s grumpy but lovable mascot, visited the participating vendors highlighting their charms and calling on patrons to spend time

on downtown Riverhead’s Main St. and support local businesses.

“These pub crawls are an all-around win.” according to Bunnii Buglione of Aquebogue.

“They support our local downtown businesses, bring a young and fun community to explore Riverhead, and we get to raise funds and awareness for causes that really hit close to home.” Buglione continued, “We get to shine a spotlight on Main St. for a whole new group of people.”

Proceeds will be split evenly between The East End Emerald Society and Maureen’s Haven.

“We’re proud to say each group will receive over $6,000,” Evers reported. The East End Emerald Society organizes Riverhead’s only St. Patricks Day Parade. Maureen’s Haven is an outreach program to help feed, clothe and shelter Riverhead’s homeless population.

Montauk St. Patrick’s Day

It’s Parade Day!

It’s official – the miserable winter is over.

That’s because Sunday is the Montauk St. Patricks Day Parade, and that means tourists and the summer season are just around

the corner.

Tens of thousands of spectators are expected to gather for this, the 53rd annual March.

Crowds have reached a high of almost 50,000, and the parade has

been held in every conceivable type of weather from driving rain, snow, frigid temperatures and even, if memory serves, a balmy 70-something degree morning.

Terry Watson, a longtime Montauk School Board member who is now retired, has been named the grand marshal. She joins such local dignitaries as former marshals Paul Monte (Gurney’s Inn), Jack Perna (school superintendent), and gar-

bage tycoon Mickey Valcich.

The parade begins at 11:30 AM sharp at Edgemore Road and proceeds to the Montauk IGA. Revelers might want to arrive early enough to sample clam chowder made by local chefs and get a cool souvenir mug courtesy of the Montauk Chamber of Commerce.

St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in numerous countries celebrated on March 17 to honor Ireland’s patron saint, oddly enough named St. Patrick.

The idea of staging a parade on St. Patrick’s Day didn’t originate in Montauk – though some locals insist we’ve perfected it. They’ve been doing it in New York City since 1752, though Boston held a parade 25 years earlier.

St. Patrick wasn’t even Irish – he was a nobleman from Britain who was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to the Emerald Isle by pirates.

Eating corned beef and cabbage, a St. Patrick’s Day tradition, originated in America. Corned beef was a cheap cut of meat readily available to the poorer immigrants who settle in Boston and New York in the 19th century, and the early cabbage crop was widely available and cheap to purchase.

There has been times in the past when revelers in Montauk did a bit o’ the imbibing, perhaps a wee too much. In recent years East Hampton Town Police have done a good job at tamping down on underage drinking and banning alcoholic beverages along the parade route.

Pelosi Appeal Begins

By Kitty Merrill

Over a decade after he was convicted of brutally beating millionaire financier Ted Ammon to death in his East Hampton mansion, Dan Pelosi is back in court.

The story of Pelosi’s affair with Ammon’s estranged wife Generosa, the Middle Lane murder, the ensuing investigation, trial, and Generosa’s death was of an ilk usually seen in a TV melodrama. And, yes. A madefor-TV movie did eventually screen.

Last Friday, oral arguments in his appeal began in the state appellate courthouse in Brooklyn. In a legal brief filed to support the dismissal of the Center Moriches man’s conviction, Pelosi’s attorneys argued there was insufficient evidence to convict, that prosecutor Janet Albertson’s demeanor unfairly prejudiced the jury and that she violated grand jury secrecy.

T h e v e r d i c t w a s “a g a i n s t the weight of evidence,” court documents argue, citing a lack of eyewitnesses, forensic evidence, and proof he was in East Hampton at the time of the murder. Pelosi’s lawyers claim “significant credibility issues” with every civilian prosecution witness, all of whom had either personal or financial reasons for testifying against the defendant.

The appeal brief concludes county attorneys failed to prove “beyond reasonable doubt” that Pelosi was the killer There was “motive, means, and opportunity,” the DA’s office responds in its brief. Pelosi had no alibi, and told several people he’d killed Ammon, who “cried like a baby” during the fatal beating. “A web of circumstantial evidence” all points to Pelosi as the sole person responsible for the murder.

Pelosi mistakenly believed he was smarter than everyone in the courtroom, the prosecution’s brief continues. “Any rational juror would have found him guilty.” The weight of evidence is “quite compelling,” wrote ADA Michael Blakey for the people.

In a parallel case, Pelosi was found guilty of threatening prosecutor Janet Albertson and her children. Now, his attorneys argue she “engaged in a sarcastic, demeaning, and personal attack against [Pelosi] and defense counsel, which deprived him of a fair trial.”

She “demonized” Pelosi in the eyes of the jury, and played on their emotions, making sure jurors knew he was in Vegas gambling as Generosa Ammon lay dying of cancer at home in New York.

According to Blakey’s brief, Pelosi did a good job of demonizing himself. He testified against his counsel’s advice and based on the “snarling testimony” he offered, Albertson’s responses were “well within bounds.” Painting a picture of a sadistic, angry man helped the jury to understand Pelosi was capable of committing “this crime of overkill,” Blakey wrote. (Ammon was savagely beaten, struck more than 30 times in the head with a

www.indyeastend.com

blunt object, suffered numerous broken bones and burns from a stun gun.) “The allegation of egregious prosecutor misconduct is ephemeral,” the ADA’s brief declares.

Attorneys for Pelosi offered a third point to prompt an overturned conviction. Albertson violated the sanctity of grand jury proceedings by releasing secret testimony, they claim. ADA Blakey explained that during the investigation, the prosecution heard from two experts on stun gun injuries, and sought a consultation from a third to evaluate the testimony Continued on Page 30.

RICK’S SPACE Solving The Airport Conundrum “It’s non-rigid.”

“What?”

“That blimp over there.”

“The fat guy?

“No, the blimp.”

You know, like the Goodyear Blimp. Let’s face it, it’s not only the most famous blimp in the world, it’s the only blimp in the world.

There used to be another one, the Hindenburg, but it blew up.

People don’t know much about it, but the Hindenburg was actually the LZ129 German passenger ship, which made 17 trans Atlantic flights.

It was designed and produced by Zeppelin Company, owned by Jimmy Plant and Robert Page. It was their idea to fill it with marijuana smoke instead of nitrogen. Then one night they were really stoned and they had the following conversation: Jimmy: Dude, lets like, fill it up with helium!

Robert: Yeah and then everyone will sound like a munchkin!

Jimmy: Yeah and sing like you!

Unfortunately, they never got around to filling it with helium (or pot smoke) but instead used

nitrogen for the flight from Frankfurt to New Jersey on May 3, 1937. The blimp could hold up to 150 passengers but on this trip there were less than 100, probably because let’s face it, no one wants to go to New Jersey.

It was quite lavish. There was a grand piano in the cocktail lounge, and scantily clad stewardesses (Blipettes) served gourmet food – from Blimpies, of course. There were sleeping berths and a salon.

Just as the ground crew was about to grab two lines dropped from the blimp it suddenly exploded and fell slowly to the ground.

Conspiracy theories abound: there were bomb threats, some authorities insisted. There were traitors on board.

Did you know after the Hidenburg blew up the manufacturer made two more blimps named Graf Zeppelin One and Graf Zeppelin

Two? And how about their first two albums were Led Zeppelin One and Led Zeppelin two. This cannot be a coincidence, folks.

No one knows what happened.

Some people have said the flight was sabotaged. One writer said the Hindenburg was fitted as a Nazi spy vessel, its real mission to film munitions factories as it flew over Britain.

First Englishman: Holy Crap!

Look at the freaking thing! It’s huge!

And it’s got a long German word written right across the middle.

Second Englishman: I wonder if it’s a Nazi spy craft!

First Englishman: Naw. Led Zeppelin wrote “Stairway To Heaven” about it. This is a little know fact.

By the way, a zeppelin is a rigid structure as are Page and Plant, as least they were back then.

According to historians passengers on the Hindenburg were said to be “affluent, including public figures, entertainers, noted sportsmen, political figures, and leaders of industry.”

In other words, just the types of people who take helicopters into East Hampton Airport.

I hope everyone can see where I am going with this, because Myspace is all about finding practical solutions to the vexing problems that concern East Enders in a non-rigid way.

You board the blimp in Central Park. I’ve even taken the liberty of naming it: Bonac’s Pride or Blimp Scampi – Ok, that’s not so good. We load up 100 fat cats, fill the thing up with helium, and everyone eats munchies talks like a munchkin until it is time to depart for East Hampton in time for the 9 PM seating at Nick and Toni’s.

There will be some noise complaints, because let’s face it, the thing is filled with gas and the fatcats are filled with hot air. Naturally, fartlike sounds will be heard, but we can just pretend they are geese.

The other annoying thing about blimps is they block the sun. I have seen a blimp so wide that when it passes by the entire front of my house goes dark as if I am experiencing an eclipse. And that’s just the neighbor down my block!

In conclusion – and I am writing “in conclusion” even though as the last paragraph is self-evident that this is in fact the last paragraph and thus the column is concluding – because, quite frankly, I am stretching to fill the allotted space for this column because when you think about it, there isn’t too much funny stuff you can write about something that explodes with a bunch of people on board.

Who Needs A Town Manager?

REAL ESTATE

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

EDITORIAL

There are close to 1000 towns in New York State, and they come in assorted shapes and sizes. Brookhaven is the largest; Mechanicville, less than one square mile in its entirety, is the smallest.

East Hampton Town is considering hiring a town manager. The position would be fulltime and non-political, and in theory free up the town supervisor to represent the town in other matters.

Technically speaking the town supervisor, like a town councilman, is a part time worker. In fact, there are no work-related requirements. Technically speaking, our elected officials could work only a few hours a week and we wouldn’t be able to do much about it except to vote against them if they ran for reelection.

East Hampton has always been run differently, especially the town supervisor’s workload. We can recall Cathy Lester sitting in her office at night, and Jay Schneiderman putting in seven day shifts. Bill Wilkinson would answer his cellphone, it seems, 24/7.

You run for the town supervisor seat with the realization that you are going to work a lot of hours.

We like and respect Larry Cantwell, but he didn’t exactly come into the job with fire in his belly. Recently retired from his cushy job as East Hampton Village Administrator, Larry is collecting a hefty pension and typical of most retirees, enjoys leisure pursuits like golf and fishing. Bless his heart, and may he live a long and rewarding life.

But he decided to run for town supervisor, and we elected him. We don’t think his election was a mandate to go out and hire someone else to do a most of his chores

Hi Rick, Just wanted to give you a heads up -- your recent article about Southampton High School you mentioned no East End school has beaten a double A school. East Hampton did just that in back to back years 2007-08 , beating Half Hollow Hills West and in 2008-09, besting North Babylon.

The players and coaches take great pride in being the overall county champion those two years.

BILL McKEE

Wingnuts Dear Rick, It appears your leftwing letter writer

www.indyeastend.com

has a talent for making factual claims not so.

There’s no one denying that the climate is changing. The problem for the leftwingnuts are not the deniers, but Rather, Dan, that the climate is not changing in the right direction.

People living in the letter writer’s area might look out their windows for the last two and a half months at all the warming blanketing your area with a 2-foot thick sheet of ice.

What has changed are the terminology and the goalposts which the left keeps moving at will as their narratives melt among the icicles. I remind them that global warming morphed into Climate Change, not the other way ‘round. Now why do they suppose that the terminology changed in the way it has?

Was it because of the now ongoing 18 year cooling trend where 2012, 2013 and now 2014 had recorded “progressively” more, and lower lows? Google it friends.

for him. We didn’t spend $100,000 for a town supervisor to become a glad hander; we hired him to work.

Naturally, the Democratic propaganda machine is churning mightily in favor of a town manager. Stripped of the rhetoric, though, it is yet another job, another salary to pay, and more reckless spending – for a position that is completely duplicative.

East Hampton citizens must have short memories. Does anyone remember just two administration ago we had a $30 million hole in the budget because the Bill McGintee– led Democratic regime piled one meaningless job on top of another until town hall was overflowing with people with no job descriptions being paid full time salaries?

The Wilkinson administration didn’t take a scalpel to the town’s budget: it lopped off heads with a machete. Guess what? The government functions better and smoother now than it ever did.

But under Cantwell a town board controlled by Democrats is beginning to roll through the dough.

With the airport fiasco threatening to mushroom into a multi-million dollar nightmare we can ill afford to create additional positions, especially if, as we suspect, they will go to party flunkies to reward them for reciting mantras.

If Larry wants to be our town supervisor we urge him to run again. He’s done a great job.

But if he wants to be our town supervisor we expect him to do the job we elect him to do. We don’t need him to select the person who does his work for him. That’s for us to decide.

2014’s spring and fall were also significantly colder than typical. When was the last time in November you saw six-foot tall snows upstate? Me thinks, if one can explain AGW with warmer temperatures, and one can explain it with colder temperatures too, and with temperatures that stayed the same, what exactly has he explained?

With respect to what the respondent’s president called “settled science:” Physics, nanotechnology, medicine, space flight, computer technology, mobile phones, so on - aren’t they all settled and no more progress will be made.

As we segue to the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change referenced by our intrepid pundit where indeed there is a consensus - we might inquire into the reasons for the consensus. Let me answer it: the panel dismissed any “scientist” or railroad engineer who was not on board Al Gore’s narratives. There’s your consensus.

The fact is, real fact this time, there are a number of other groups of genuine scientists and organizations who totally disagree and who are not railroad engineers, who provide for a consensus to support the opposite conclusion.

That is: the science is hardly settled.

In other words, the facts and evidence are corrupted and are mostly useless in the settled science camp which leaves no room for dissent and examination.

Which brings us to railroad engineers and their credibility. The genuine railroad engineer RK Pachauri who headed the IPCC from its inception, a man who has absolutely no education or qualifications in climatology, had to resign for allegations of sexual abuse.

I say no one’s perfect, either as a sex partner, or a “scientist” who claims to be what he is not, who claims to have credentials which he does not, for a Continued on Page 18.

Why Is This?

Letter to the Editor, President Obama refuses to refer to ISIL, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Quds Force, and others as Islamic terrorists. He tends to mischaracterize the attacks by the radical Islamic terrorists on Christians, Jews, and other non-Muslims, and he seems hesitant to vigorously take the fight to the terrorists. Why is that?

generally-accepted scientific claim that is simply not so.

As for the Koch Brothers’ spending habits which seem to annoy our letter writer, let’s just say that about $40 million has been spent on the anti-climate change narratives; and $50 billion on the pro side of this argument, which is clearly fair and balanced not in the Koch’s favor.

About 80,000 years ago Long Island had a sheet of ice a mile high covering it - and then global warming began. And if we go back in time, a billion years ago for example, a lonely planet Earth was floating through space like a gigantic snowball, mostly ice. And then global warming began.

It hasn’t stopped since. Ice cubes melt eventually. That’s what they do.

The interesting fact to know in this consensus thing about the planet’s climatic behavior is that the warming of 80,000 or a billion years ago cannot be blamed on man’s activities, perhaps excepting Al Gore’s fat thighs rubbing together to be blamed for the sea level rise.

Lastly, more to the point, Dr. Malcolm Ross of Harvard described the misuse of science to advance political agendas by saying: “Freeze of Fry, the problem is always industrial capitalism and the solution is always international socialism.”

Josephine Crasky Art and music were my favorite subjects. In school, I was in glee club and that sort of thing.

We had a wonderful music teacher and she did a great job giving us a love of music. That’s something that sticks with you for the rest of your life.

Linda Beyer Music. Definitely music. I remember how much I loved my teacher in elementary school. Mrs. Havens. Now, I sing in the Sweet Adelines and I sing in a barbershop Quartet called Rumor Has It. And we go to a state contest in Albany May 1.

Jackie Lautin English! I loved reading novels when I was very young. I loved shopping for books with my family. On Thanksgiving, we’d go to Cambridge, Mass. and my parents bought me boxes of books at The Harbor Bookstore. I grew up and got a PhD in English and taught at Barnard and Hunter College.

Omero Tavera I loved literature. The first book I loved was Charlotte’s Web. I also loved In Cold Blood. But math was my favorite. I loved math in general.

Loved algebra. It made sense. And now I do tax preparation. So I guess I got a good foundation from those math courses.

on a Paris Jewish deli saying “attackers randomly shot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.” In fact the victims were sought out, shot and killed because they were Jews. In response to the beheading of the 21 Coptic Christians the White House said they were “Egyptian citizens”, and then stated ISIL attacks are “unconstrained by faith, sect or ethnicity.” This rhetoric seems to be designed to downplay the seriousness of Islamic terrorist attacks and avoid offending Muslims.

The Obama administration talks about creating economic opportunities and jobs in the Islamic world as a cure for Islamic extremism. How can this work when radical Islamic ideology states Islam is the only true religion and non-Muslims have to convert, or pay tribute, or be killed?

The world is at war with the scourge of radical Islamic terrorism.

No Bullhooks Dear Editor, Ringling’s business decision to take elephants off the road by 2018 comes on the heels of a successful push

by the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida, PETA, and other groups to ban bullhooks — sharp fireplace poker–like weapons—and in advance of a damning report about the prevalence of the active, human strain of tuberculosis present in the elephants Ringling uses.

The fact is, without the bullhook, no handler could control such an intelligent and immensely powerful animal who has no desire to stand on her head (most elephants in the circus are female—the males are far more dangerous), so the handwriting was on the wall.

There remain other horrors ahead for elephants, as well as for the big cats, camels, and other involuntary performers who are forced to work— as opposed to the jugglers, clowns, and acrobats, who require wages and can walk out whenever they wish.

Nevertheless, it means that one day, no elephants in the United States will find themselves chained in a boxcar for three days straight, forced to stand in their own waste, as has been the case for those traveling with Ringling. That alone is something to celebrate.

Annual Clean Up Next Month

By Emily Toy

Earth Day is next month, and that usually means locals and visitors alike will be getting, and thinking, green.

For Southampton Town, as spring is starting to peek its head out, it means the annual Great East End Clean-Up is quickly approaching.

For more than a decade now, the clean up has been an effort to remove litter and debris from public places throughout the town. The volunteer-driven clean up brings together hundreds of residents of all ages to participate. In years past, thousands of people served as volunteers with over 50 tons of litter and debris collected.

Dozens of organizations have participated since the clean up’s inception, from scout troops and school sports teams to civic groups and local businesses.

Popular locations that got some TLC in the past included the Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike, beaches along Dune Road, Red Creek Park in Hampton Bays, the Village Green in East Quogue,

along Route 24 in Flanders, Old Country Road in Remsenburg, and along trails in the Long Pond Greenbelt on the Sag Harbor/ Bridgehampton border.

Over the course of the next month, individuals and community groups will begin registering for the annual clean up, scheduled for April 18 and April 19.

To join in, select an area of public property, such as a park, beach, trail, or roadside that is in need of cleaning. “I emphasize that the site you select must be publicly maintained,� said Rick Hodgson, a town waste management official.

Completed registration forms may be mailed in or done online and they’re due April 13. Visit www.southamptontownny.gov or email greateastendcleanup@ southamptontownny.gov to register and for more information.

Garbage bags will be provided by the town along with a free pass to town recycling centers to dispose of the refuse, according to a press release from the town. A

limited number of pick sticks are available on a first come, first serve basis. Materials will be available to registrants at Southampton Town Hall up until April 17 from 8:30 AM

If getting the necessary materials during the above listed days or times call Hodgson at 631-283-5210 to discuss alternate arrangements.

Erik D. Payne, 25, of Merrills Road in Amagansett was killed in a single car crash early Saturday morning.

East Hampton Town Police were called to the scene of a motor vehicle accident just after 2:30 AM. Responding police officers and members of the Amagansett Fire Department found a 2001 Ford pickup off the road on Windmill Lane, south of Town Lane.

Preliminary investigation indicates the truck was traveling northbound when it left the road, hit a snow bank, veered out of control and hit a utility pole.

Mr. Payne was pronounced dead at the scene.

The accident is still under investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact EHTPD at 631-537-7575.

By Saturday afternoon, as the news spread, Mr. Payne’s Facebook page was filled with condolences and remembrances of a man described as gentle, loving, warm-hearted, talented, and funny – “always laughing and always having a good time� – a great guy who was loved by all.

Funeral and obituary information were not available as of press time.

law enforcement officers do outstanding work apprehending the criminals, and we need to provide the prosecutors with the necessary tools to help make our communities safer.”

Domestic methamphetamine availability is at a five-year high and is likely the result of increasing large-scale production in Mexico and small-scale production in the

United States. While meth has been traditionally associated with western and southern regions of the countr y, its influence, sale, and possession are moving steadily towards the East Coast. By implementing stricter anti-meth laws, the bill would align New York with similar measures in the neighboring states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Massachusetts.

The Senate Bill S1150 would deter the growing use of methamphetamine in New York by strengthening penalties for the sale and possession of meth and making them consistent with penalties for crimes involving heroin and cocaine.

The second piece of legislation passed by the Senate is designed to make parks and playgrounds safer.

Bill S994 would increase penalties for individuals who sell drugs in playgrounds and parks.

This measure expands upon current New York State law, which penalizes people who sell drugs on school grounds or day-care centers, to include parks and playgrounds that may not be attached to schools.

The bill would help law enforcement prosecute drug dealers who use parks and playgrounds in an effort to target children.

The bills were transferred to the Assembly for consideration.

Tina Piette reminded the board that those on both sides of the airport issue represent a small segment of the overall town population. People outside the fray don’t want to see their taxes increase to support the facility when federal money could have been used. The town has severed financial ties with the FAA in an effort to gain local control over noisy aircraft. By not accepting FAA money, Eugene Haller pointed out, “You put the burden on the taxpayers.”

Andy Sabin, who uses the airport for his business, called the $3 million budgeted for potential litigation “a drop in the bucket.”

Dueling statistics comprised a portion of the evening, as proproposal speakers discussed the tremendous volume of noise complaints logged on the airport hotline and the number of people suffering from relentless helicopter din, while poo-pooing stats from the aviation-friendly about how many users will leave. In the last several years, thousands of complaints have been logged. Last summer hundreds of area residents came out to discuss the impact aircraft – especially helicopter – traffic is having on their lives, and petitions have garnered signatures by the score both locally and on the North Fork.

just a few squeaky wheels. One speaker, Irving Paler read a list of names of six people who’d called to complain hundreds of times, implying the calls were “set up.” Another speaker rebutted, describing how eight minutes can’t pass without aircraft noise so loud as to stifle conversation erupts.

Barry Holden added that he could easily have made 6000 complaints himself if he called each time the noise was unbearable. Aviation interests describe the airport as an asset to the community, but, said Holden, “our peace and quiet is an asset to the community as well.”

Sabin looked askance at what he said is a “conflict of interest.” He called upon airport liaison Kathee Burke-Gonzalez to recuse herself from the proceedings. She served as campaign manager for Gruber during his (unsuccessful) bid for supervisor in 2001. When she ran for office, he was a major contributor.

Herbst echoed Sabin’s suspicion, questioning the appointment of long time anti-airport individuals – Gruber, Dalene and Pat Trunzo – to “positions of power” on airport subcommittees. Voters didn’t know that when they cast their ballots for Cantwell, Burke-Gonzalez and Fred Overton in 2013 they were really electing Gruber, Dalene and Trunzo, she said.

“I was not David Gruber’s c a m p a i g n m a n a g e r,” B u r k e Gonzalez said via email on Monday.

“The ad agency I worked for was hired by the local Democratic party to provide services.”

The board kept the record open for written comment until March 20. The earliest date for a vote would be the next formal meeting on April 2. It takes 30 days for a local law to be registered

with the state and go into effect. That means relief may be in sight for the

noise-affected communities . . . until the lawsuits launch.

By Kitty Merrill

Support of the town’s efforts came from Riverhead Town as well.

Councilwoman Jodi Giglio commended counterparts and offered a wish that pilots would have abided by FAA rules “so local government wouldn’t have to create local laws.“ Three members of the Southampton Town Board -- Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst and Councilwomen Bridget Fleming and Christine Scalera -- were in attendance. They expressed concern about the potential for an unanticipated consequence: the shifting of air traffic from East Hampton to Westhampton and Southampton Village. Scalera urged town officials to complete a “diversion study” of the impacts of the regulations on other airports in the region.

Throne-Holst noted the FAA has “simply sat on its hands through all this . . . It has to be made to step up.”

Offering the opinion that neither the economy nor homeowners should be unduly effected, she urged the East Hampton Town Board to “Keep the FAA’s feet to the fire.”

Support From Both Forks The hearing on airport restrictions drew an array of East End elected officials to East Hampton, from every one of the five towns that comprise the Twin Forks. North Fork County Legislator Al Krupski introduced himself stating he represents Suffolk’s first legislative district, “otherwise known as the flight path.”

Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell urged his East Hampton counterparts to “stay the course.”

That statement was echoed by Shelter Island Town Supervisor James Dougherty. He reminded that in 2007 his town took the plunge and banned helicopters. Imagine the outrage, he said, “when we became the flight path.”

Russell thanked the town board for acting with transparency and inclusion, “we’re clearly being heard.” Sag Harbor’s Deputy Mayor Sandra Schroeder and North Haven’s Deputy Mayor Dianne Skilbred also expressed gratitude for the inclusion.

Continued from page 15. of the first pair. The law provides an exception to the grand jury secrecy mandate in such situations.

Testimony wasn’t made public, it was shared with the consultant.

Pelosi and Generosa Ammon began an affair while the electrician/ handy man was working on her Manhattan apartment. She was in the midst of a bitter divorce from Ted Ammon and the illicit couple believed he was hiding money from her. She inherited an estate worth $46 million after her estranged husband’s murder and married Pelosi, who told his ex-wife of plans to “marry her and get the money.”

Generosa died of cancer in 2003. Several years ago Pelosi, still proclaiming his innocence, claimed in an interview from prison that Generosa Ammon had Ted Ammon killed. He told an ABC news anchor that she offered $500,000 to anyone who would beat Ammon. Pelosi claimed his ex-employee Chris Parrino took the job.

He denied Pelosi’s allegations.

Pelosi is serving a sentence of 25 years to life in prison at the Great Meadows Correctional Facility in Washington County.

Bridgehampton Punches Ticket To State Championships

By Rick Murphy

The Bridgehampton Killer Bees earned a berth in the NYS High School Championships by besting Livingston Manor in the Southeast Regional Final Friday, 60-39.

The Bees overcame a 7-4 deficit with a nine-point spurt and then proceeded to take apart the overmatched Wildcats. After Matt Hostetler found Josh Lamison inside to make it a 12-7 affair Hostetler drilled a three to open an eight-point lead.

The Bees’ defense is a formidable one. Strung like barbed wire just inside the half court line, the Bees repeatedly cut and gashed the Livingston Manor ball handlers as they tried to penetrate the trapping zone.

Consecutive steals by Charles Manning Jr. and Tylik Furman, who went coast to coast to put the Bees up by nine, proved to be only the beginning of the thievery.

Manning, the Bees’ tallest player, is also its quickest. His lightning quick hands and long wingspan made the relatively simple chore of passing the ball difficult. Furman played Bonnie to Manning’s Clyde as the pair went on a stealing spree.

During one five-minute span, the Wildcats barely got a shot off as the Bees repeatedly stripped the ball.

It should be noted Hostetler was one of the gang as well, playing probably his best defensive game of his career. Ditto Furman, who shut down Livingston’s high scorer. It was an overwhelming display of defensive prowess.

Furman’s foul shot, following one of his steals, put the Bees up by 12. The Bees, swarming on defense, forced yet another turnover, and Manning scored on a baseline drive. A moment later Hostetler stole the ball and fed Manning, who pulled up for a 25-footer that found the bottom of the net. Just like that, the Bees were up by 15. The margin grew to 20 by halftime.

Manning possesses a dizzying skill set. The 6-foot 3-inch guard scored 15 points, shot five for nine from the field, grabbed five rebounds, had five steals, and two blocked shots -- by halftime.

Then it was time for the dunkathon.

Manning drove the left baseline and slammed with his left hand. A minute later, the youngster sped down the lane and elevated again, with the dunk bringing the Bees fans to their feet with a deafening roar. The coup

de grace came shortly thereafter. A missed shot bounded high above the rim, and Manning went up after it. His one handed thunder dunk in essence punched the ticket to the State Final Four tournament.

The Livingston Manor coaches were seen shaking their heads and burying them in their hands. There would be no comeback against a team this good.

That is not to say the Wildcats went down easily. Their front line of Terance Lockhart (six-two), Matt Janik (six-two) and Max Kaplan (six-three) hit the board hard on both ends of the court. But it was Josh Lamison, only six-foot, who controlled the paint, and he took over the game in the fourth quarter, repeatedly powering up for offensive rebounds and put-backs. He led all scorers with 22 and officially, 15 rebounds, though in reality it was many more.

Manning, unselfish to a fault, added 21, 10 rebounds and eight steals. Lockhart had 19 for the losers.

The bus leaves tomorrow. See accompanying article to read what the Bees are up against.

Mariners Come Up Short Against Woodlands

By Rick Murphy

Southampton knew coming in the game would not be easy.

Scouting reports confirmed the worst -- Woodlands trapping defense, implemented by fast, skillful, and experienced players, was difficult to understand and even more difficult to pierce.

Southampton players said after the game they knew what was coming and practiced against the press all week. But knowing it’s coming, and handling it, proved to be two different things.

The Mariners seemed oft-kilter from the get go, and the press

caused a rash of turnovers and worst, frayed nerves. The Mariners fell into the trap and were gasping for life before the first quarter was over.

The Falcons, a veteran, tournament–tested team that eliminated Southampton last year, smelled the blood and went for the kill; a 20-7 second quarter run left the locals in a hole too deep to dig out of.

The result was a 60-50 victory for Woodlands in the Southeast Regional Class B game and a trip to the State Final Four tournament.

The Mariners had an

extraordinary season – taking Class AA champion Brentwood into overtime before succumbing in the Suffolk County Large Schools final.

That’s how good the Falcons are.

That’s not to imply the Mariners folded their tents. Coach Herm Lamison’s charges battled back by adjusting to the zone and ratcheting up the offensive intensity. A 10-3 run at the beginning of the third quarter pulled the locals within 11, and, as has been the case throughout the playoffs, Isaiah Johnson was the catalyst, scoring six of those points.

The Mariners used a balanced scoring attack much of the season, But during crunch time the burly 6-2 forward has been the go to guy.

In fact, the better the opponent, the better Johnson got. He scored 37 against Brentwood and 26 in the Long Island Class B title game against Malverne.

Woodlands, though, is a poised club. Rather than panic, the Falcons answered with their own Johnson – Brandon. His trey broke the

Mariner’s run, and a second bomb minutes later broker their spirit.

Late in the fourth, gasping for air, the Mariners chipped away into striking distance one last time when Isaiah (who else) scored to make it a 10-point affair with two minutes left. Once again the Falcons responded by calmly drilling their foul shots as the clock wore down.

Brandon Johnson, one of several players on Woodlands who seems capable of playing basketball at the next level, led all scorers with 24. Isaiah Johnson had 23 on this night and averaged 24 during the Mariners’ playoff run. Israel Johnson, a junior and Isaiah’s brother, added 15. Jamil Gambari, another big-time player, scored 23 points and grabbed 16 rebounds for the winners.

Woodlands (21-3) will play Ogdennsburg Free Academy (21-3) Friday in the Class B semifinals.

Westhill (19-2) and Leadership Academy (19-3) square up in the other game.

Bees, 20-2, have lost both games to highly-ranked Class B schools, one of them Southampton. The Vikings beat a good Germantown team (21-2) to advance to the Final Four tournament and a showdown with Bridgehampton, the top-ranked Class D team.

Should Bridgehampton prevail against Moriah the Bees will move into the State Championship game Saturday at 5:30 PM. The opponent will be the winner of the New York Mills vs. International Prep game Friday.

Mills, a perennial title contender, is 21-2. International Prep, out of Buffalo, is 19-5 on the season and features a tall and athletic front line that could make things difficult for the locals.

Glens Falls is located north of Saratoga. Take the LIE to the Throgs Neck Bridge, bear right onto I-95 New Haven, and go over the Tappan Zee onto the New York Thruway.

Take Exit 24 to the Northway for 41 miles. Follow signs to S-9 North — Glen Falls is six miles away and the Civic Center is downtown.

hand. South then played six rounds of trumps. West discarded clubs and spades. South had the ace of spades and the good jack of clubs in dummy but could not reach dummy to discard his two little diamonds and lost those two diamonds. Down one.

Since most EW teams made a game, South’s down one was a good outcome. However, with another line of play, South can actually make her game. After winning the ace of diamonds, South should play only three top trumps leaving East with one trump. Next South should play the king of diamonds, giving East

the opportunity to ruff. If East does ruff, he must lead a spade letting South win in dummy with the ace.

South discards one little diamond on the ace of spades and the other small diamond on the established jack of clubs.

If East refuses to ruff, South wins the trick and leads the 2 of hearts which East must win. Again, he must lead a spade giving South two discards on the ace of spades and the jack of clubs. Not many declarers are likely to see this delicate line of play.

Any questions or comments can be sent to gaman13927@aol.com.

A hand very similar to this one was played recently at the Water Mill Bridge Club. Most EW teams bid a game to 4S and made their game. However, one South jumped immediately to 4H, making it difficult for EW to bid their game.

South saw 9 tricks in her own hand and hoped that North could produce one trick.

After winning the ace and king of clubs, West played the queen of diamonds which declarer won in
