WHO KILLED CHARLIE CHAN? I used to love Charlie Chan.

I got a chance to watch my first Charlie Chan movie in years the other night.

Naturally I thought about political correctness while I watched the movie. Poor Charlie was one of the first victims of the Politically Correct Mafia.

In case you’re too young to remember, he was the jolly little round Chinese detective in those great mystery movies of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. They kicked him off the tube years ago. He’s back now.

To give you a hint as to the type of life I lead these days, watching a Charlie Chan movie is the highlight of my week.

The movies are all pretty much alike. There’s a murder and Charlie Chan is called in to solve it. The killer is usually a guy with a mustache. That was the formula for the B-movies of that era. FH=M. Facial Hair equals Murderer.

Charlie Chan was assisted by his Number 1 son and his driver,

Birmingham Brown.

Both the kid and the driver are frightened, blithering idiots. Charlie spent most of the time in the movie giving us his corny “Confucius say” fortune cookie sayings that are not unlike the great philosophical insights we now see written on our bumper stickers and our T-shirts.

What I find fascinating is that you never saw a bullet hole or blood or violence in these movies. There’s always a scene where someone would say, “I know who the killer is. It’s . . . it’s . . .” Then you saw a close-up of a gun. Then the lights went out and then a shot rang out.

And the person who was about to give the evidence was crumbled in a heap on the floor. Then Charlie kneeled over the body and said out loud, “He’s dead. Killer is both clever and cunning. No one leave room, please.”

Charlie always got his man. But then one day Charlie Chan was murdered in cold blood. Killed by a whole new generation that decided

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Charlie Chan movies were not politically correct.

Asians hated that he was a stereotypical Chinese man. He spoke with a Chinese accent. It didn’t help that Charlie Chan was played by Caucasians (Sidney Toler and Roland Winters) who were pretending to be Chinese.

The PC hated that his Number 1 son was a dope and probably was the first Chinese person in history who wasn’t good at math. Black groups hated the fact that he had a driver and the driver was black and was something of a boob. The holierthan-thou political groups marched against Charlie Chan. Grown men got up and made speeches against Charlie and all that he stood for.

In time not one single television station in the country would carry these movies because no one folds faster than a broadcaster when faced with the slightest bit of pressure.

Now, one of the detective movie series they continued to show over the years was Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone, a South African, as Sherlock and Nigel Bruce, who was Dr. Watson, his “partner.” I was always suspicious of the Holmes/ Watson living together relationship, and I guess it’s safe to say that today the two of them couldn’t get their wedding catered in Indiana.

The author Loren Estleman wrote of Bruce: “If a mop bucket appeared in a scene, his foot would be inside it, and if by some sardonic twist of fate he managed to stumble upon an important clue, he could be depended upon to blow his nose on it and throw it away.”

IN THE NEWS

But Wasps didn’t picket the television stations because Dr. Watson was a bit of dope. In fact, there is no record of Wasps picketing anyone because another Wasp is portrayed as a dope. This leads me to believe that either Wasps aren’t very organized, or that they feel that they have more dopes than any other group, or they’ve been around so long they don’t give a damn what anyone thinks of them. Anyway, Wasps are the only group in the world who haven’t protested anything since their last great success, the Boston Tea Party.

I had a long conversation about this column with my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht. She didn’t think it was very politically correct for me to be doing a column about being politically correct. We talked about this while we watched Charlie Chan and the Sky Dragon.

At one point I said, “Speaking as an Italian...”

She quickly said, “You’re not an Italian.”

“I’m not an Italian? Of course I’m an Italian. My mother and father are Italians.”

“They may be Italians but you’re an Italian-American. Or are you an Italo-American?” she replied.

“When did I become an ItalianAmerican? Who decided? Why didn’t I get a chance to vote on this?” I screamed.

My screams where interrupted by gunfire. On the television screen Charlie Chan had just caught the killer. It was a fake insurance investigator. I was relieved to see he had a mustache.

It’s nice to know that some things never change.

Or at least won’t change until The Committee To Protest the Unfair Treatment of Men with Mustaches is formed.

You might even win a prize!

What kind of prize, you ask. Oh, we don’t know deadline day. We’re str yet. It’s essed. WHERE’S OUR YOGI TEA??

Indy Eyes Stress Awareness Month

By Kitty Merrill

Pick your poison – car trouble, family or financial worries, a rough romantic road or, say, a coworker who won’t quit gabbing when you’re on deadline trying to write a brilliant article. Stress abounds in our society.

Neck pain, headaches, stomachaches, back pain, TMJ, chest pain. Pick your pain, and if stress doesn’t cause it, it definitely makes it worse.

April is Stress Awareness Month, so what better time for The Independent to launch a month-long series examining the effects of stress and strategies you can use to relieve it?

This week we’ll discuss one of the most pervasive ways it attacks your body . . .

Stress Makes You Sick From aches and pains to lifethreatening diseases, stress can play a part in their pathology. In fact, according to one report on Web MD, pretty much every body system can suffer the effects of stress.

Heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, heart attack, diabetes, all types of headaches including migraine, gastrointestinal problems, heart burn, irritable bowl syndrome, an array of skin disorders, and even Alzheimer’s have relationships with stress.

According to the chapter on “Stress and Illness” in the Encyclopedia of Human Behavior, “Provocative evidence” exists for associations between increased stress and “verified organic illness.”

Last week we discussed hormones released when a person experiences that “Fight or Flight” surge. (Check the archives on our website to catch

up: www.indyeastend.com) When people experience stress they also experience changes in physiology.

It affects the nervous system and endocrine system – your heart beats faster, more glucose is released and blood flow shifts to muscles to give the body the energy it needs to react to danger. Stress hormones flood the body, which during caveman times was a good thing. Nowadays? Not so much.

Prolonged release of stress hormones can effect the cardiovascular system; it makes your heart beat faster, or erratically.

Chronically high levels of stress hormones contribute to the buildup of arterial plaque and as plaque hardens, arteries narrow and blood pressure increases. “In this context, it is interesting to note that people with Type A behavior show a heightened vulnerability to developing . . . coronary heart diseases,” the Encyclopedia of Human Behavior states. Frequent incidences or chronic stress can make your heart work too hard and too long, setting the stage for heart attack or stroke.

Got Stress, Got Colds Studies have found that stress is related to changes in substances in the blood – antibody levels change, as do the number of white blood cells circulating in the blood. The more anxious a person is, the fewer antibodies he or she can produce when confronted with a physical stressor.

It gets worse.

Those stress hormones attach to white blood cells and affect the immune system, the chapter points out, meaning the body’s ability to fight disease is diminished. “People under chronic stress are more

susceptible to viral illnesses like influenza and the common cold. It increases risk of other opportunistic diseases and infections. It can also increase the time it takes to recover from illness or injury,” according to an article published by healthline. com last year.

Authors of the chapter also reported that when you endure ongoing stress, your health can be negatively effected as behavioral changes creep in. Good behavior patterns like getting enough sleep, eating well, or taking prescribed medications can fall by the wayside as negative behavior patterns like drinking and smoking and downing a whole pint of Ben & Jerry’s increase. Stress can become especially problematic if you’re on a regimen of prescribed meds or a strict medical program, like a special diet for diabetes.

While the chapter’s authors emphasize that stress is rarely the primary agent in disease, it’s a piece of the puzzle.

Not Tonight,Honey A visit to the website healthline. com offers an overview of how stress can hurt body systems. Anyone who’s ever had an upset stomach after getting bad news, or even butterflies in anticipation of an exciting event, knows external arousal can target the tummy. Nausea, vomiting and stomachache are common stressprompted symptoms, and since stress can influence how food moves through your body, it won’t be much fun in the bathroom, either, with diarrhea or constipation common results.

That extra glucose released into the body has to go somewhere. If it’s not used up during the fight or

Stress Buster: Work It Out You know this one. Exercise

may be the number one strategy for long-term stress management.

Releasing endorphins, i.e. achieving the runner’s high, elevates mood and lowers the risk of a variety of illnesses.

And there are just as many methods to get a workout in as there are stressors. Join a gym, take a spin, a class, a walk or a run.

This month is a great time to start an exercise program, with several local fitness centers offering special pre-season deals.

We recommend Studio 89 in Sag Harbor, Planet Fitness, with locations in Hampton Bays and Riverhead, the YMCA RECenter in East Hampton, exhale studio in Bridgehampton and, of course, the Big Kahuna of stress relief, Gurney’s Seawater Spa in Montauk.

At Gurney’s you can do laps or aqua aerobics in the seawater pool, work out on machines in the fitness center overlooking the ocean or take Zumba, spin, Pilates or yoga classes.

Ocean views and special beach workouts enhance the exercise experience. Prefer alone time?

Head out to any of the East Ends awesome beaches for a jog, or check out hundreds of miles of hiking trails. Trails Societies in East Hampton and Southampton both offer weekly guided hikes.

Stress can hinder your sex life, too. For men, it can be a performance inhibitor and reduce sperm production.

Celebrating Katy’s Courage

By Emily Toy

For a lot of East End locals, Katy Stewart has become a household name.

The 12-year-old Sag Harbor resident lost her battle with hepatoblastoma, a rare form of pediatric liver cancer, back in 2010 and ever since, her name, legacy, and memory have been celebrated.

Katy’s Courage, a not-for-profit organization honoring Stewart, was formed in 2012, and has been providing support and education for parents and children through scholarships, support for children’s bereavement counseling and pediatric cancer research.

“So many people knew Katy,” her mom Brigid Stewart said. “We felt it was important to carry it forward in her memory.”

Since its inception, the organization has hosted an annual 5K in Sag Harbor, an event that sees thousands participate each year. The 5K, in a way, serves as the culminating event observing the organization’s work throughout each year.

This year, the race kicks off on Saturday, April 18. On race day, check in is from 7 to 8:15 AM, with an 8:30 AM start on Water Street. $25 for preregistration, $30 day of race.

Net proceeds from this year’s race will support Katy’s Kids @ CMEE, a program providing counseling opportunities for grieving children and their families. Katy’s Kids @ CMEE will give children the opportunity to convey their feelings through expressive therapeutic play, such as writing, art, music, dance, movement, drama, and poetry.

Not only do the race participants support the cause, there are dozens of local businesses and individuals providing sponsorships at various levels, donating thousands of dollars as well helping to host fundraisers each year.

Last month, Katy’s Courage hosted an afternoon of skating at Buckskill Winter Club in East Hampton, which included a skate-a-thon and bake sale. Also last month, Bay Street Theater hosted the 7th Annual Classical Students for Katy’s Courage, a benefit concert featuring local, award winning classical music students. On Friday there will be a rock show for Katy’s (see page B-5).

Firmly planting itself in the community, the organization also offers scholarships to both Sag Harbor and East Hampton school students.

According to the organization’s mission statement, “College scholarships will be awarded to children who exemplify remarkable courage, kindness and empathy, as did Katy in her all too brief, but exceptional

Sandland Expansion Denied

By Kitty Merrill

Environmental groups, community members and elected leaders are celebrating after an announcement that the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation will not be approving permits to expand the already massive Sandland sand & gravel mine in Bridgehampton, according to a press release from the Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

The Sandland mine covers 50 acres and reaches a depth of 80 feet. In early 2014, the owner/operator of the facility applied to DEC for a permit to expand the mine an additional five acres in width and an additional 40 feet deep (to total depth of 120 feet).

Sandland is located in a Special Groundwater Protection Area, as identified by New York State and

identifies the lack of consideration

by Sandland for environmental and community impacts by construction and demo debris, land clearing and yard waste, and composting and mulching activities.”

Almost two years to the day, the Town of Southampton named the DEC the lead agency on the application. Town officials asked DEC counterparts to address several environmental issues -- whether buffers will mitigate dust, noise, smell and traffic impacts, among them. According to a notice of denial from DEC Executive Deputy Commissioner Marc S. Gerstman to attorney David Eagan and owner John Tintle, Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst subsequently reiterated the request that the DEC be “vigilant” when it comes to protecting groundwater.

In October of 2013, the county health department also weighed in. Sharing the town’s concern for groundwater, SCDHS officials said that any permit should include a provision requiring groundwater monitoring.

a Critical Environmental Area for the Town of Southampton. These areas are described as essential to the protection of the quality and quantity of drinking water. The DEC ruling comes after a public hearing where 150 people attended. Not one member of the community at the hearing spoke in support of the expansion request.

Adrienne Esposito, CCE’s Executive Director, provided the following statement: “We are thrilled that after years of identifying environmental, public health and community concerns emanating from Sandland, the DEC has denied an expansion for this facility. This DEC decision recognizes the need to protect drinking water, worker safety and mitigate community burdens such as odor, dust and noise. The ruling specifically

The notice articulated seven areas of environmental concern to serve as basis for the denial. Among them were the failure to disclose information about a history of solid waste disposal at the site, and a total of 21 violations related to worker safety at the site between March 2009 and this year. It notes a report that revealed the current mining operation exceeded the permit area potentially resulting in encroachment into a buffer zone and neighboring properties.

“This is a tremendous victory for the public and our environment,” Esposito enthused on Monday.

“Sandland has operated under the radar for far too long and allowing this facility to dig deeper and wider is too risky for our water supply.

Denying this permit sends a strong, vibrant message to sand mines and solid waste management facilities across Long Island that the days of operating without regard for our environment and public health concerns are over. We commend the DEC for conducting a thorough and aggressive process of review. Their decision is reflective of the Governor’s commitment to protecting Long Island’s groundwater and ensuring that our natural resources are sustainable for the future.”

Operators could sell “predominantly” farm and food products in conjunction with or “in support of” land used in agricultural production. “Any agricultural product of the soil” could be sold,

A bill designed to permit retail uses on agricultural properties preserved through the Community Preservation Fund has been resubmitted by Senator Ken LaValle and Assemblyman Fred Thiele.

If the proposal is successful it would make an extensive list of activities, currently prohibited on sacrosanct CPF farmland properties,

And “any” refers to an array of goods: fresh or processed fruits, vegetables, eggs, dairy products, meat and meat products, poultry and poultry products, fish and fish products, apple cider, fruit juices, wine, ornamental plants, nursery products, flowers and Christmas trees.

According to Thiele, the request for a change to CPF law dates back to the last administration in East Hampton Town. Several years ago, a Friday morning farmer’s market popped up in the parking lot at Nick & Toni’s restaurant on North Main Street.

The pro-business duo Supervisor Bill Wilkinson and his deputy Councilwoman Theresa Quigley, supported the notion of moving the market from the parking lot across the street to preserved property, now home to the East Hampton Historical

Farm Museum.

Created in the late 90s to preserve open space, farmlands and historical sites, the Community Preservation Fund comes with a set of laws that have undergone periodic revisions.

According to Thiele, this latest proposed amendment wouldn’t go through without a town-sponsored local law and voter referendum.

East Hampton Town Supervisor Larr y Cantwell isn’t so sure the proposal would fly with his administration. “We need to be really careful of retail uses on land that was meant to be preserved,” he said. Uses directly related to the agriculture, like a small farmstand might be okay, he said, “but a major expansion of retail on farmland?

We gotta be real careful with this.”

The town board is currently considering a handful of proposals for Amagansett Farm, the former Principi property at the hamlet’s eastern border, which the town purchased with CPF money last year. “I’m very reluctant to even consider retail uses at Amagansett Farm,” Cantwell said.

PSEG Wins Round In Court

By Rick Murphy

★

municipalities – town and village officials objected to the height and girth of newly installed transmission poles and had hoped to get PSEG to bury the electric lines instead.

“I don’t see that affecting the transmission line proposal,” East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said. “They are related but not directly related.”

The town argued that the LIPA Reform Act of 2013 “does not . . . express preemption of all local land use authority,” according to

In his decision Whelan ruled that, “there is “no provision of the LIPA Act that subjects this transmission project to local land use regulations.”

“The plaintiff, an agent for LIPA, is exempt from all local regulation” when it comes to the transmission and distribution of electricity, the justice wrote.

Cantwell thinks Justice Whelan misinterpreted the LIPA Reform Act verbiage. “He’s turned the language upside down.”

Cantwell said the town will likely appeal and cautioned other municipalities on Long Island that Whelan’s decision “undermines home rule.”

East Hampton Town’s persistent attempt to rein in PSEG took one on the chin Thursday when State Supreme Court Justice Thomas F. Whelan ruled the town had no authority to issue a stop-work order against the public utility.

The town has ordered PSEG to shut down work at its Amagansett substation, part of a comprehensive plan to run new lines from East Hampton Village to Montauk.

Whelan’s ruling also struck a decisive blow to both

• Loose pickup (we have men that can help remove the debris) • Basement-Relocation cleanups. • Demolition Services.

Cantwell said. “They could build a substation anywhere without approval.”

Whelan pointedly rejected a motion by East Hampton that would have allowed all other Long Island towns and municipalities to join the suit.

“PSEG Long Island’s primary focus is building partnerships with the communities we serve. We will continue our dialogue with the leadership of East Hampton and look forward to working in cooperation with them on the best path forward,” said Jeffrey Weir, a spokesman for PSEG. The municipalities, and many members of the public, have also railed against the use of PENTA, a preservative, on the newly installed poles, fearing the chemical contaminates drinking water. One citizen’s group filed a suit that would require PSEG to do detailed testing to ascertain how much PENTA was used.

It is possible Whelan’s ruling can be interpreted to limit any recourse the municipalities might have in the PENTA matter as well.

RICK’S SPACE The Clothes Dryer Enigma I used to believe in the old adage, “if you can’t do it right don’t do it at all.”

I’m not one of those handy guys who has all his “toys” in the garage like leaf blowers, lawn mowers, snow plows, and stuff like that. Hell, I don’t even have a garage.

My idea of being handy is to call Field Appliance Service or the plumber, or whoever, depending on what goes wrong at the house.

At least that’s the way it was before I got married.

Nowadays, I have rival. Recently, when the clothes dryer stopped working, I offered to “take a look” at it (which was precisely what I planned to do – look at it).

“No offense, but you’re not exactly the handyman type,” Karen said. “My brother will fix it when he comes out.”

And there it was. The gauntlet (or is it the gamut) had been thrown down. My standing as the man of the family, the unquestioned head of the household, had been threatened.

Harumph. Not exactly the handyman type, she said.

That night we watched The Imitation Game, a great movie about Alan Turing, who invented an incredibly complex machine to break the German code and help win World War II. Turing had named his machine, which was actually the world’s first computer, “Christopher” after a boy he had a crush on in boarding school (not that there is anything wrong with that!).

The German code was called “Enigma,” named after a German boy Hitler had a crush on in school (not that there is anything wrong with that!).

My enigma was that the clothes dryer would either refuse to start or refuse to stop, even with the door open. Sometimes it would randomly stop in the middle of a load. And the little clip that goes from the door latch to the body of the machine was broken (OK, I broke it, but I ordered a new one.)

First I taped the inside lining of the door with electric tape. (OK, first I used Scotch tape but it caught fire). I figured the inside wall of the dryer door was interfering with the clicking mechanism that triggered an electric impulse when the switch was turned on.

Then I hit the circuit breaker, unplugged and re-plugged the unit, did an entire load of wash, loaded it, and started the dryer. It didn’t work.

I ordered a new clip – in scientific terms that would be the Supco Dryer Door Catch & Strike Kit #DE902M and I installed it (OK, I cracked open the door catch). It worked! For about 11 seconds. It seems you had to lean something heavy against the door for it to work, so I took a CD tower I had in the basement and tried that. All the CDs slid out and the cases cracked.

More black electrical tape.

Nothing. Maybe a little WD-40 spray? I tried. It didn’t work, but all our underwear smells like we went to mechanic’s school now.

Finally, Christopher and I focused on the little push button near the dryer opening. After intensive study we concluded the button was the secret to this enigma. When it was stuck in the pushed-in position, the dryer wouldn’t stop. When it popped out, the dryer wouldn’t start.

IN THE NEWS

As good as new!

I found an old Bush for President button in my drawer (like, who will ever need that again?). It fit perfectly in the indentation on the inner side of the door that coincided with the cranky pushbutton. I sprayed WD40 on it and attached it to the door using electric tape (black, of course).

I then needed something to spray into the hole to free up the button -- hair spray, of course.

Flushed, sweaty but excited, I closed the door and hit the start button. I had just won World War II. The damn thing worked, and I had fixed it, NOT my brother-in-law.

Tomorrow I’m going to buy a 58 Ford and me and Christopher are going to rebuild it. I better get more hair spray.

EDITORIAL For The Kids? Not! First of all, many of us have friends and family members who are teachers. We know how dedicated most are, and how tough their jobs are. We commend them for helping our children grow up to be responsible adults.

Buy it’s silly to assume every teacher does an excellent job. Be it cops, lawyers, or journalists, any profession, there are those who don’t measure up to their peers, and some who do a downright lousy job. They usually end up getting fired.

With the exception of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, only teachers have a position that is basically guaranteed for life. Under the tenure system, it is nearly impossible to get rid of an underperforming teacher.

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo wants to be able to evaluate teachers.

Granted, any method would be subjective; but it’s a starting point.

Never underestimate the New York State United Teachers, one of the strongest and most influential unions in the country. NYSUT can make or break a politician—the union funnels millions into campaign coffers, inevitably favoring candidates protective of the union and its antiquated tenure laws.

The union is undercutting Cuomo at every turn. Newsday reported that most school districts have been swayed to use a scoring system favored by the union when assessing teacher performance. Once again, volunteer school board members have no idea they are negotiating an important tool when they agree to the teacher’s demands, often during contract negotiations. Virtually every teacher assessed using

Independent VOICES

Downright Abusive

Dear Editor, Testing season is upon NY public schools once again. Starting April 14th students in grades 3 through 8 will sit for the ELA and math state exams. Grades 4 & 8 will also have an exam in science. In addition, select grades will be administered field tests between June 1-10th.

Field test questions are already embedded in the state exams; these stand alone field tests have zero benefit for the students. Southampton school district has been chosen to administer field tests for grades three and eight in ELA. Parents,

demand that your district not administer these exams and return them to the state as some districts have done. Last year these districts boycotted the stand alone field exams: Babylon, Comsewogue, Glen Cove, Great Neck, Hauppauge, and Manhasset.

The state exams are downright abusive. Not only are the tests too long, the state gives children limited time to complete them. The lack of time is such a problem that my child’s class had class discussions on strategies in dealing with the limited time.

Even Chancellor Tisch considered allowing unlimited time to complete the exam because as she said “everyone was telling us the kids were feeling pressured.”

The tests are also age inappropriate. Testing children two grade

this formula gets an exceptional rating, thwarting the state’s intention of removing ineffective teachers.

Last week NYSUT took an even bolder step, urging parents to instruct their children to refuse to take standardized annual tests given by the state each year.

“We need to do what is right for kids in New York State,” the head of NYSUT said.

Oh . . . really? And this benefits our children in what way?

It does benefit the 600,000 member union. That’s because Cuomo wants to use the test results as a tool to evaluate teachers.

Now, the state has upped the ante. A record amount of new state aid will be made available – to those districts that agree to the tighter evaluation guidelines. That means the teachers union wants every homeowner in the state to pay more money in school taxes just to avoid just a modicum of oversight.

A New York State Regent, Merryl Tisch, said it best: “It’s time to stop . . . protecting adults and start speaking up for the students.” Educators agree testing is but one measure of a student’s growth. But it is a tool that helps identify what areas students need improvement in.

The trouble is we keep expecting union members to look beyond their selfishness and to grasp the fact that if they are doing their job they have nothing to worry about.

It’s sad to say it, but our teachers sometimes act like spoiled children.

Parents, urge your children to take the test. And if one of their teachers dares to interfere, report him or her to the State Education Department.

levels above their current grade. This has dramatically impacted special needs students that have a 95 percent failure rate on these exams.

The types of questions on these exams have been absurd such as the famous talking pineapple question. There are a plethora of reasons to refuse these abusive exams. Luckily parents have the right to refuse these tests on behalf of their children. Refusal letters can be found on nysape.org and stopccssinnys.com.

Thank you to the Southampton Teachers Association for acknowledging the refusal movement and informing parents of such.

my honesty along with “other more vocal critics” wreaks of desperation. They say the truth will set you free, Norm. Let’s see who ends up in a cage when this sordid affair is over.

DOUGLAS ROSENBROCK Editor’s Note: This letter refers to an article in the April 1 issue of The Independent about mobile home parks in the Riverhead area.

Merely A Hoax To The Independent Editor, It is disturbing to read that right here in our enlightened Hamptons there are some that are actually attuned to the typical antirational attitude so prevalent and proudly paraded in the backward boondocks of our country. This ill fostered belief is that Climate Change/Global Warming is neither real nor a threat to our globe. And that it is merely a hoax.

In a letter in the 3/18/15 Indy, a writer enthusiastically denounced a previous 3/4/15 letter by another writer, which presented facts as stated by experts called “scientists.” That 3/4/15 letter also ridiculed the, “I’m not a scientist but” deniers as thinking with their “butts” since that would explained such an asinine assessment.

Mr. Benjamin’s 3/18/15 letter denouncing that of Mr. Zizelis’ 3/4/15 which was based on fact, was as convincing as was James Inhofe’s presentation in the Senate at which he proved conclusively that there is no such thing as Global Warming by making and presenting a snowball . . . and even flipping it. How can one possibly deny such indisputable evidence coming from a past and possibly shortly once again, Chairman of the Republican Senate Environment &

Yankees or Mets? Who’ll have the better season in 2015?

Ann Smith Clearly the Yankees will have a great season.

I’m not a huge baseball fan but I’ve always followed them. I’ve seen them play live. It was very exciting. And while losing Derek Jeter may hurt a bit they always have good up and coming talent.

Oz Valle The Mets. While I was having tooth extraction yesterday I thought of them. Maybe it was some kind of psychic hit. I’ve been a Mets fan for many years. I grew up in the Bronx, so I followed the Yankees. I’m not sure why I switched. I guess I wanted to try something new.

Joe Brown I’d have to say it’s the Yankees that will have the better season. I’ve been a Yankee fan for 50 years. I used to like the Dodgers but then they moved to the West Coast. But I’m betting they’ll be having an excellent year.

Brooke Baramoff I’d have to go with the Mets. My husband is a Mets fan so I guess that makes me a Mets fan too. My husband’s cousin plays with the Braves. So that would be our team but if we’re talking about New York, it would have to be the Mets.

Public Works Committee, not withstanding, his being, politely, consistently less than aware; aka: a Jackass.

Then there is a like sentiment letter following Mr. Benjamin’s. It is from a Mr. Moskowitz who never met a conflict he did not crave, a war he did not want nor a Liberal he did not loath. President Obama’s recent success at peaceful diplomacy rather than adversarial disparity must be a great disappointment to him and his like. I’ll leave a response to his typical cookie cutter rant to someone else.

Cruel Fates Dear Editor, Teddy, the dog who was reportedly abandoned near the Long Island Expressway after multiple animal shelters refused to accept him, is lucky to be alive.

Countless other dogs and cats who are refused entry by “no-kill” shelters die slowly and painfully after being hit by cars, being shot or drowned by people who are desperate to get rid of them, and other cruel fates. Shelters that refuse to accept animals must share the blame when rejected animals suffer these horrific outcomes.

People who turn to shelters often have no other options. Even if the best that can be afforded to some animals is a painless end through euthanasia, it is far kinder than leaving animals at the mercy of people who can’t or won’t care for them.

Keeping animals out of shelters may make “no-kill” shelters’ euthanasia rates look good, but it spells disaster for animals.

The only humane and effective way to end the need for euthanasia at shelters is by becoming a “no-birth” community, through spaying and neutering. Visit www.PETA.org to learn more.

State Allocates Money For Nitrogen Study

By Rick Murphy

The New York State Legislature has appropriated $5 million in the recently passed Aid to Localities Budget Bill to fund the creation of a nitrogen pollution management and reduction plan for Long Island. The appropriation comes on the heels of a State Department of Environmental Conservation study describing how excessive nitrogen pollution damages coastal marshlands that are a critical line of defense against severe storms and flooding.

Nitrogen pollution from sewage threatens Long Island’s health, economy and quality of life. Long Island’s water infrastructure is old and deteriorating. Upgrading and modernizing wastewater systems will reduce pollution and

contamination in drinking water. “It’s an attempt to identify nitrogen thresholds on a watershed by watershed basis,� said Kevin McDonald of the Nature Conservancy. The long-term goal on the East End, he said, is to develop “a roadmap to pollution reduction.

Right now our waters are impaired.� “Under the direction of Governor Cuomo, the DEC and other state agencies are working to strengthen the resiliency of communities that are susceptible to severe storms and flooding,� DEC Commissioner Joe Martens said.

The funding, supported by individuals and groups representing many different sectors, will be used to develop an island-wide plan to identify a thoughtful path forward and make sure that state, county and local water resource

planning efforts are coordinated and actively addressing immediate coastal resilience and water quality challenges. “From an environmental and human health standpoint, nitrogen pollution is the most pressing problem among the many issues that affect water quality,� said Nancy N. Kelley, executive director of The Nature Conservancy on Long Island. “The measure passed in the budget is an essential element in identifying the strategies to improve water quality and we salute Senator [Ken] LaValle and Assemblyman [Steve] Englebright for their steadfast leadership.� “Water quality is a top priority for Long Island but setting specific goals and implementing strategic actions requires a comprehensive

plan,“ said Bob DeLuca, president of Group for the East End. “Cleaning up our water will protect the Long Island way of life for our children and grandchildren and it’s time to take the serious steps we need to make these goals a reality. We applaud all those who worked in Albany to get this funding and help ensure a better future for water quality all across Long Island.�

On Long Island, a safe supply of clean drinking water and healthy creeks, bays and harbors support a multi-billion dollar economy fueled by tourism, boating, fishing, plentiful seafood, and a desirable way of life for 2.8 million Nassau and Suffolk residents. Long Island’s waters create jobs and generate hundreds of millions of dollars every year for the regional economy.

The cleanup task “is formidable,�

McDonald acknowledged. “The alternative is to surrender and that is more irresponsible.â€? Â

Dow Grover, passed away peacefully on March 28, surrounded by his family, comforted by classical music and the reminiscences of friends and family that he so cherished.

During a long and spirited battle with MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome), Rob never complained about his fate, calmly showing us all how to go forward with honesty, dignity and grace.

A philosopher, scholar and patron of the arts, Rob will be remembered for his wit, insights and effortless ability to converse on a range of topics including history, philosophy, ethics, mathematical theory, politics, travel, art. He lived the life of the mind.

curiosity, Rob found his greatest joy when engaged in conversations with family, friends and colleagues near and far.

Born on February 15, 1936 in New York, NY, Rob spent his early years attending Buckley School in New York and enjoying time at his family’s “Clover Farm” in Kent, CT. His father, Allen Grover was a journalist who wrote about business for Time, was an editor of Fortune, and became Vice President of Time Inc. Rob’s mother, Beatrice Beard Grover, was an accomplished artist, who painted oil and pastel portraits, made lithographs and drew medical illustrations of the eye. His parents’ interests and vocations had a significant impact on Rob’s appreciation for the arts, literature and scholarly thought.

Rob attended Deerfield Academy ’54 and Yale University ’58, B.A. in Philosophy. He continued his studies

at Universitat Munchen, Munich Germany, ’58-’59, and received an M.A. and PhD. in Philosophy, ’68 from Brown University. He also attended Yale Law School receiving a Master of Studies in Law, ’76. In 1964 he began teaching philosophy at the University of Connecticut, retiring in 1999. A dedicated professor, he taught ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of law, and philosophy of religion. Rob always looked for ways to challenge and encourage his students to examine, share and develop their own beliefs and ideas.

He served as Director of the UConn Torrington Regional Campus from 1980-1986. During this time he was the principle NEH grant holder for an exhibition and symposium on John Brown, the 19th century abolitionist.

A specialist on the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, Rob conducted extensive research and published on Hobbes’ political and legal philosophy. Rob served on the University of Connecticut Chapter of the American Association of University Professors including time as faculty representative on the Executive Committee 89’-99’, Vice President ’96-’97 and President ’97-’98.

An ardent supporter of the visual and performing arts, Rob shared his time and talent with many cultural organizations. Most notably he served as a Trustee on the Boards of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra and Real Art Ways. He was a member of the Dean’s Council at the School of Art, Yale University.

Rob also served on the Board of the Connecticut Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.

For more than 25 years, Rob and Nancy collected innovative contemporary photography. They enjoyed extensive time at their home in East Hampton, NY where they attended and supported the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival.

Over the years, they have relished intellectual and aesthetic exploration sharing their passion for the arts in the company of artists, dealers, curators and musicians.

In addition to his wife of 35 years, Nancy Dow Grover, Rob is survived by his two daughters and spouses: Robert and Anne Percy Sargent (West Hartford, CT) and John Peters and Dana Percy Plunkett (Sudbury, MA).

He leaves behind three grandchildren who will remember ‘Bonson’ for his love, wonder, laughter and devotion to their interests: John Enders Sargent (Jack), Emmalene Robinson Plunkett and Rebecca Farrington Sargent. He also leaves his sister, Loraine Grover Continued on Page 27.

Aquebogue Residents On Capitol Hill

A group of Long Island residents, including Mark and Kathy Haubner of Aquebogue, visited Washington, D.C., to ask Congress to support people with arthritis through policies that will ensure increased research, better treatments and greater access to care. They joined with other arthritis advocates on March 23-24 for the annual Arthritis Foundation Advocacy Summit to share their story of living with the painful symptoms of arthritis.

During the summit, they urged Congress to support legislation that will give all patients more affordable access to life-changing medications; create a stand-alone arthritis program within the Department of Defense to meet the growing needs of active military personnel and veterans; and recruit new members to the Congressional Arthritis Caucus.

Arthritis affects 50 million Americans, or roughly one in five adults of all ages. Two-thirds of people with arthritis are under the age of 65, including 300,000 children. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis that can seriously affect joints, muscles,

School Merger Forum On Monday, the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons hosts a forum titled “School Mergers: What You Need to Know.” Starting at 7 PM, the Southampton Rogers Memorial Library will be the gathering place for residents of all school districts in Southampton and East Hampton Towns, for the free public forum.

“I encourage stakeholders from all Hampton districts to attend; we plan to recognize audience members who wish to add to this on-going conversation,” said Judi Roth, the League’s Education Committee chair, also serving as the forum’s moderator.

The program features a noted panel of experts including New York State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, who will speak on the state’s role in school mergers. Those include a representative from BOCES, Tuckahoe Superintendent of Schools Chris Dyer, and Southampton School Board President Heather McCallion.

Southampton Town’s SEATV, channel 22, will be on hand to tape and later air the program.

Spring has sprung, and there are softballs in the air.

In League VI everyone is looking up to Center Moriches after the Lady Red Devils waltzed through an incredible 23-3 last season and earned the Long Island Class B Championship. Moriches is already 5-0 this season, with three of the wins coming in league play.

Hampton Bays, 15-3 last season, figures to be the main rival this season as well with Marley Tyler on the mound. Senior infielders Rebecca and Meghan Harris will lead the offense. The Baywomen

have won both their games so far this season.

The Pierson/Bridgehampton Whalers return a strong nucleus from last season’s Long Island Class C Championship team. Sam Duchemin, a senior pitcher, is as tough as they come. Isabel Peters, only a sophomore, is an emerging talent. Pierson is 2-1 this season.

Senior stalwart Sarah Tuthill leads Southold/Greenport (1-2 this year). Mattituck (1-3) returns standout pitcher Lisa Angell.

Southampton, 4-13 last year and 0-3 this year, is relying on a core of returning upperclassmen.

Over in League II, Jeff Doroski’s highly successful program took a bump last season as the Riverhead

Lady Waves struggled through a 7-12 season. With a core of returning veterans led by hardhitting shortstop Dani Napoli, a senior, the team is off to a slow start, winning only one of three games played thus far.

In Suffolk’s League V Lou Reale’s East Hampton charges are fully expecting to compete after winning only nine of 19 in 2014. One reason is all-county Ali Harned, a shortstop and four-year starter. Westhampton is looking to dig out of the cellar – The Lady Hurricanes were 2-18 last season.

Stress

Continued from page 8.

For women, the negative feelings and exhaustion surrounding stress lessen desire (especially if their guy is the one stressing them out!)

Stress can also effect the menstrual cycle, making periods heavier, more painful, and more irregular.

Muscles tensed for danger, as bodies were designed to do, stay tensed with chronic stress. That leads to a variety of aches that simply won’t go away, which can lead to a need to prescription medications and their array of side effects.

Clench your jaw when you’re irked or anxious? Stress can lead to gum disease, dry mouth, or problems with the joints of your jaw.

Pretty much every system suffers the effects of stress. Consider your skin: psoriasis, eczema, acne, rosacea, rashes, fever blisters can all be brought on or worsened by stress.

How about your brain? People under stress can have a harder time understanding directions or remembering things. One study found stress exacerbated Alzheimer’s, causing brain lesions to form faster.

Authors in the Encylopedia of Human Behavior draw a distinction between whether a situation is truly dangerous or whether an individual simply perceives a threat. Both prompt the same physical response.

Personality characteristics (Type A comes to mind) and established mindsets can increase or reduce the effects of many daily stressors.

Check back next week when we consider the mental health aspect of stress. Sometimes, it’s all in your head.

Play Bridge If I were to put a title on the play of this hand by South, it would be “ A necessary unnecessary finesse.” After West leads three consecutive clubs, winning the first two, South can only lose one more trick after ruffing the third club.

Under normal circumstances, South would plan on leading two small diamonds toward the jack and ten, losing only one diamond trick if the king and queen are split between East and West.

But South realized that this plan would fail if West held both the king and queen and that possibility was highly probable based on West’s two doubles, one for takeout and the second for penalty. As a result, South fashioned another plan. After winning the third trick, South played the ace of trumps and then led the 4 of spades. Instead of playing the ace from dummy, he finessed with the queen which won the trick. South then played the ace of spades, discarding a low diamond from his hand.

The Westhampton Beach High School varsity wrestling team has come together to raise $2000 for the Live Your Cor Foundation through a Pin Pot pledge campaign. The fundraiser, according to coach Paul Bass, started earlier this year when his athletes said they wanted to do something in memory of former Westhampton Beach wrestler Cory Hubbard, who was struck by a car and passed away in January 2014 while crossing the street near his Maryland college. The team presented the donation to Hubbard’s parents, who founded the Live Your Cor Foundation, at the wrestling teams’ annual banquet, held on March 22.
