OBAMA’S NIGHTMARE, CHRISTINE QUINN’S BULIMIA & WEINER’S WEINER – IT’S POLITICS AS USUAL

The mayoral race in New York City is turning into a circus.

The candidates are silly. They will do or say anything to get themselves elected. My favorite story on this subject came in a column in The New York Post last week by Bob McManus. He wrote about Republican mayoral hopeful John Catsimatidis standing up before a group of antivivisectionists explaining that his family loves small animals so much that his wife once gave mouth-tomouth resuscitation to a dying cat.

I say Catsimatidis shouldn’t be wasting his time running for mayor of New York City. This guy and his wife are Presidential material.

The slogan for their Presidential campaign can be: “Who put the Cat in Catsimatidis?”

Once she gets the fur balls out of her throat I’ll bet Mrs. Catsimatidis

would make a hellava speech. I can just hear her say: “Would Michelle Obama ever give mouth-to mouth to a dying cat? No way.”

My guess is that you have to go way back in history to find a First Lady who would give mouth-tomouth to a pussy cat.

That would be Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of President Franklin Roosevelt.

Eleanor, who was famous for her love of pussy cats and as “The Queen of the Liberals” – she loved all of God’s creatures except Republicans. ***** On the other hand City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, the frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race, in attempt to reach out to as many New York voters as she can, made a startling announcement

REAL ESTATE

about her past.

Ms. Quinn announced that in the past she was bulimic and she was also an alcoholic.

She is running to be the first bulimic, alcoholic, lesbian mayor in the history of New York City.

The other day Quinn called on disgraced Assemblyman Vito Lopez to resign from office. She described his conduct as “nauseating.”

My question: When a bulimic calls you nauseating, is that a term of endearment? ***** Then of course there’s Anthony Weiner, who is also in the running.

He is coming up fast and he’s just behind Christine Quinn – a position that I’m sure is making Ms. Quinn quite nervous. I don’t know about you, but if Anthony Weiner was coming up behind me I would be terrified.

Weiner has a good chance and if all the women who have received pictures of Weiner’s weiner voted for him he would win by a er . . . er . . . nose.

I hope he runs and I hope he loses just to see the headline the day after Election Day in The New York Post: WEINER COMES UP SHORT *****

On the national front, Barack Obama is shucking and jiving under an avalanche of scandal that must have him wishing he were back in his old fun job as a community organizer in lovely Chicago.

Let me see if I have this straight.

First, four people died in Libya in an act of terrorism and the administration made up or bought into a story that they were killed in a protest about a movie. WRONG. Then the IRS got caught targeting the Tea Party and conservatives. Trying to get them to pay far more than what Obama likes to call “Their Fair Share.” WRONG. Then the White House or the “Justice” Department was caught breaking into the Associated Press phones and computers to find out who leaked a story to the AP about a terrorist attempt to blow up a plane. WRONG. What will this all lead to?

I expect any day now The New York Times will write a hard-hitting editorial calling for the impeachment of Richard Nixon. ***** Speaking of Tricky Dick (that’s Nixon, not Weiner): Jay Leno said the other night that this was actually a great week for Obama because he was being compared to Nixon, which is a lot better than when he is being compared to Jimmy Carter.

While all this was happening someone sent me an Internet football and politics joke. Here’s how it goes: Alabama beat Arkansas, And Arkansas fired their coach.

Alabama beat Tennessee, And Tennessee fired their coach.

Alabama beat Auburn, And Auburn fired their coach.

Then Alabama beat Notre Dame, And the Pope resigned . . .

Don’t you wish the White House had a football team?

Investigators: Casale ‘Covered Up’ Cheating Scandal . . . it seems clear he was aware of the cheating allegation, attempted to cover it up, and destroyed evidence.” -- Office Of Legal Services NYC Department Of Education

By Rick Murphy

Springs School Principal Eric Casale has a black mark against him that doesn’t appear anywhere on his resume.

According to David Bena, a spokesman for the New York City Board of Education, Casale is not allowed to work in the New York City school system. “If he should reapply, a problem code will show up. It says, ‘he resigned pending allegations of cheating.’”

In fact, charges against him were serious enough that if substantiated they would have ended his career.

Casale left PS-91 in the Bronx in a maelstrom of controversy and in the midst of a sweeping investigation during which he emerged as a central figure. He would have been suspended had he stayed pending an investigation.

The Chancellor’s Office of Special Education began its probe in early 2005 after a referral from the Special Commissioner of Education, who was notified of an alleged cheating scandal at PS-91 after administrators at the school failed to address the allegations.

Casale, who gave this newspaper misleading responses last week about the chain of events at PS-91 and his status with the New York City Education Department, did not reply to a request for comments.

Instead he posted a letter on the school’s website about the scandal.

In the letter Casale acknowledged “it was alleged I knew about the [cheating] allegation but refused to do anything about it.” But Casale wrote, “I did report it, to my Superintendent of Schools.” Casale left PS-91 and came to Springs while the investigation was ongoing.

Sources said Casale left the employ of the New York City Department of Education city school system before he could be formally

charged.

“No further action was taken against me and no charge of ‘coverup’ or ‘destruction of evidence’ were alleged or substantiated against me,” Casale claimed in his letter.

In fact, investigators had already recommended he be suspended

pending an investigation, but by coming to Springs he shortcircuited the probe – he was outside the purview of the OSI. But The Office of Legal Services of the OSI ordered that Casale be put on “an Inquiry List as to bar him from future employment.

He resigned prior to the release of this report but it seems clear he was aware of the cheating allegation, attempted to cover it up, and destroyed evidence.” Casale was asked by The Independent

to respond specifically to the statement and did not reply. Further action would have most assuredly been taken against him had he not left the city and surfaced in Springs, according to the report.

An OSI summary of testimony given to investigators obtained by The Independent reveals that fifth grade math students said they were given answers to state tests by a math teacher, Barbara Lee. Numerous people involved testified Continued on page 40.

What’s New In Montauk

By Kitty Merrill

This year, the wave of new businesses opening in the Lighthouse District is a little milder than the tidal- caliber wash of last summer.

The success of new restaurants like Swallow East, Sammy’s, The Coast and Zum Schneider has gone a long way towards keeping turnover at bay.

Still, Montauk continues to be the epicenter of economic striving, with new places to shop, dine, party, work out, and get ink.

Ink? Yep. Lola’s Tattoos opened earlier this year in a charming cottage on Flamingo Road near the railroad station. A sparkling white interior boasts a library comprised

of literally hundreds of tattoo design ideas. Lola Snow’s got decades of experience, with a flagship shop in New Jersey established in 1976.

The eastern end of Main Street downtown is undergoing a rebirth, thanks to a compound comprised of a burrito bar, boutique and a refurbishment of the building that housed Cromer’s. A new Montauk Market will share space with an acai juice bar.

Gringo’s Burritos, at the easternmost section of the compound is already shaping up to be a popular spot for a quick, reasonable, and tasty meal. Made to order burritos, burrito bowls and tacos are prepared from an array of

ingredients – you pick them. Eat in a delightful courtyard, on a street side bench, or take the food home.

Down an alley next to Gringo’s, visitors will find Martine & Juan, a new boutique opened by a pair of Springs artists. On the first floor of the space, find gifts and clothes inspired by the ocean. Upstairs, there will be antiques and even an occasional gallery for showing local works.

The Montauk Market and juice bar bookend the boutique.

Speaking of juice and healthy eats, Buddah Berry Frozen Yogurt Café is taking over a space on South Euclid Avenue next door to The Coast restaurant. And, continuing the compound theme, Mindful Turtle Yoga is opening next door to that, meaning you can do your downward dog, then have a nice, nutritious snack.

We here at Schenck Fuels are grateful to the courageous men and women who have lost their lives serving in the United States Armed Forces

As if you haven’t heard, Americans love food.

By Chris Laubach REPORTER

Grocery store shelves burst at the seams with upwards of 10,000 new food and beverage products to choose from each year. No wonder we’re stressed out.

Even though many of those products won’t make it past their first year, some of them will make the most of America’s fickle eating habits and even change are consumption habits. Remember when

bottled water was a frou-frou luxury? Plus, people want to achieve a healthy nutritional balance that allows them to live longer and feel better and they often look to food for that.

With many people shunning their traditional doctors’ visits and instead self-medicating with nutrition-related remedies, it goes to follow that the food choices we make matter more.

Extreme dieters aside, a growing number of people

Green cleaners clean up.

By Ryan Bloecker REPORTER

Cabinets and closets in American households might currently contain more than 10 gallons worth of harmful chemicals, but with harmful chemicals getting a bad rap all around, experts say this number will likely decrease

each year.

Although they’re disguised by names like formaldehyde, phenol, hydrochloride acid, perchlorethylene and petroleum distillates, toxic chemicals lurk in everything from the fragrances of air fresheners to carpet cleaners; dishwasher detergents to furniture polish. There’s plenty of clear evidence that these harsh chemicals pose a health danger, and there are other chemicals out there that have never even been.

For the first year, 1.00% annual percentage yield (APY) applies to balances of $100,000 or less; 0.40% APY on balances more than $100,000, depending on the account balance.

Cowgirls Saddle Up

By Kitty Merrill

It’s go time for Kate Mueth and her dance theater company, the Neo-Political Cowgirls. She’s galloping into the season with a variety of performances on the horizon and in the rear view.

Last Friday, Mueth worked with high school girls in Bridgehampton to create an outdoor dance performance art piece to coincide with the high school’s Food Revolution Day, which is part of its Edible Schoolyards Program.

On May 31, The Cowgirls will perform on opening night of the “Badass Bitches” art exhibit at Neoteric Fine Arts Gallery in Amagansett, and in July, Mueth will mount Eve, a club theater event she wrote, at LTV Studios in Wainscott.

An actor in Manhattan with a background in dance before she and her husband Josh Gladstone, the artistic director for the John Drew Theater at Guild Hall, moved here fulltime about 13 years ago, Mueth performed in local productions after the move. She trained and

worked often with Gladstone. “I love working with my husband . . . it’s a kind of Ricky and Lucy ridiculous, but I felt it’s important to have my own identity for my work.”

Aware that between 70 and 80 percent of the people working on Broadway are men, Mueth decided to start the troupe, a not for profit under the umbrella of the NY Foundation for the Arts, “to combat that dearth of women’s voices on the stage and behind the scenes in the theater world . . . Our perspective however I would call a humanistic one over a feministic one although I have no problem with that “F” word.”

The company’s name references the desire for new politics to replace “old politics as we know it.”

And the cowgirls? They’re “women who are risky, wild, tough, feminine, curvaceous, beautiful, bold, and brave.” Mueth was spurred to form the troupe when she became tired of heroine-driven films being dismissed as mere chick

flicks. “The perspective of half the people on earth is not being paid attention to,” she said. “I want to practice getting women’s voices out there more, so people get used to the female perspective and see it as a valid contribution to the fabric of our society.”

The Cowgirls’ work so far has been “beautifully” received, Mueth reported. “What we do is always new and site specific. It’s unexpected.”

Subjects for performances come from where she is in her life and Mueth finds, “The stories have been mythical and timeless. I think that’s

why people respond very strongly.

They can identify.”

Last Friday’s performance with the Bridgehampton teens was an example of Mueth’s “loosey goosey” attitude towards some productions. She was delighted by the young women’s “willingness, joy, creativity and ability to jump right in and bring their own spirit.”

The performance was held outdoors on the grounds of the school.

For the fourth season of Eve, Mueth is “bringing it back to the place where we built it.” The Continued on page 37.

In Bass Buff, A Striper Fishing Obsession Guide, Captain Tom Mikoleski welcomes you into his office, his life, and his decades-long striped bass fascination with an infectious enthusiasm that has the reader itching to get her hands on a rod and reel and head out on the water.

With a captivating and simple style Mikoleski offers a read that’s part autobiography, part history, part biology, part environment and conservation, part how to and part photo essay. That’s a lot of parts, but each one is designed to hold the attention of the ardent angler.

A retired NYPD officer, the author believes his father and older brother Peter must have taken him fishing “within hours” of his birth. Growing up in Queens, he fished with his dad, brother, and a slew of relatives.

They fished for flat fish, until Tom and Pete saw their first striper while casting off the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge on the tip of Manhattan. But as the boys became more obsessed with stripers, the fishery began to collapse. It was years before they’d catch one.

One night during the early years of his fascination with the fish, Mikoleski watched a lunar eclipse from the stoop of his house in Queens. Having studied stripers diligently by now, he thought to himself, ‘someone is going to catch a big striper tonight.”

Shark’s Eye On Montauk

By Miles X. Logan

Sport fisherman, scientists, conservationists, artists, tourists and the curious will gather on July 27-28 for an all-release, satellite tag shark tournament at the Montauk Marine Basin, host to the longestrunning shark tournament in Montauk. The two-day tournament will be the first of its kind in Montauk.

“It’s been four years in the making!” said Montauk Marine Basin owner, Carl Darenberg. “I’m very excited about this. It’s for sport, science and conservation.”

With tens of millions of sharks killed by foreign commercial fishermen every year, many to fill the demand for shark fin soup in Asia, the goal of the tournament is to bring attention to the plight of sharks and to help bring back the

large sharks that are disappearing from our waters.

“These fish need our help or we won’t have any left,” said Capt.

Mike Potts of the charter boat Blue Fin IV. “That’s why the tournament is no-kill.”

All sharks caught in this tournament will be released — circle hooks only. No sharks will be brought back to the dock.

Instead, eligible mako, thresher

and blue sharks will be fitted with technologically advanced satellite tracking tags, which will monitor their movements after release.

Tagged sharks will be named by the anglers who catch them. “Each time the dorsal fin breaks the surface,” Darenberg said, “there is a ping which will be picked up via satellite.”

The public will then be able to follow these fish online via the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker, the most followed shark tracking site and app in the world – provided free of charge - all to better understand the complex lives of these critical species. “The best part is that school kids will be able to follow the sharks’ journey across the ocean. They’ll get a shark’s eye perspective,” Darenberg said.

“The use of satellite tags will allow us to build on 50 years of conventional tagging to examine the movements of sharks,” said Greg Skomal, Ph.D, who works for the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and collaborates with OCEARCH as a Chief Scientist on expeditions.

The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation (GHOF) is providing $10,000 in cash prizes to the top anglers. The GHOF encourages anglers to release all sharks that are not table fare. “It is a tremendous experience to catch any large fish, especially sharks,” says GHOF president Steve Stock.

“And by releasing them alive, we are ensuring that future generations can experience the thrill of hooking a giant shark. The added component of tracking these fish makes the ‘Shark’s Eye’ tournament even more valuable.”

Renowned artist April Gornik has donated an original work of art for the winner. Gornik’s work is in many important museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution. In addition to an original painting, she will also produce a limited digital print edition of the image, “The Shark’s Eye,” signed and numbered for each entrant, and a t-shirt bearing the image. “I’m proud to help Montauk raise consciousness about protecting sharks, and through an event driven by recreational fishermen,” she said.

“This shark tournament is a first for another reason,” said Jeremy Samuelson, executive director of the Concerned Citizens Of Montauk.

“The Montauk fishing community, businesses, environmentalists and artists are working together to prove that what is good for the environment, is good for business.”

The list of supporters is growing.

As of now they include the Andrew Sabin Family Foundation, the Montauk Chamber of Commerce, Continued on page 36.

EH Dems: No Surprises

ADOPT US

In the end the, candidates named by the East Hampton Democrats to run for office turned out to be those recommended by the screening committee – but not without a few tense moments.

Larry Cantwell had overwhelming support as the town supervisor candidate at the convention last Wednesday. Zach Cohen, who narrowly lost a tight race two years ago, assured that outcome by withdrawing from that race on Monday.

However, Cohen and Kathleen Cunningham were both nominated from the floor to run against the committee’s recommendations for the town board, Job Potter and Kathee Burke Gonzalez. The latter two survived close votes from the delegates and prevailed.

The current Town Clerk, Fred Overton, and Town Councilman Dominic Stanzione will also run for the town board. The Republican Party has yet to name a supervisor candidate after County Legislator Jay Schneiderman, a former East Hampton Town Supervisor, declined the party’s endorsement.

Steve Tekulsky survived a floor challenge from Joseph Giannini and will run for Town Justice against Carl Irace, a Republican.

Carole Brennan the town’s Deputy Town Clerk, will run unopposed for town clerk.

Cohen said the event last Wednesday night “was truly democracy in action.“ Cohen declined to say if he would wage a primary against Burke Gonzalez and/or Potter or if he would seek the Republican nomination for town supervisor.

Burke Gonzalez is the president of the Springs School Board and Potter is a former town councilman and planning board member.

No Office Job For Capt. John

Capt. John aboard the October Rose

By Kitty Merrill

The October Rose was at the dock in Montauk one night, when a local girl asked Capitan John Derrico for a ride from Liars Saloon across to Inlet Seafood. “Next thing you know, I’m doing a regular water taxi thing,” he recalled.

That was in 2010 and every year since, Montauk Harbor Cruises and Water Taxi’s business has grown, with passengers looking to get from Point A to Point B, out for a full moon or meteor shower cruise, or just a lazy loop around Lake Montauk.

Derrico’s spent his entire adult life on the water, fishing on party and commercial boats out of Montauk. “No office job for me,” he said.

Those who see his posts and pictures on Facebook know that even on the harshest of winter mornings, nature holds him in its thrall. He admits to being enamored by the sea, “The constant change, every day is different.” He continues to fish as much as possible during the winter months and when summer comes, operate the October Rose.

Derrico grew up in Staten Island, but his family always vacationed in Montauk. At 17, he got his first job on a party boat, fluke fishing on the Marlin V in 1987. Right after college, he moved to Montauk full time and went to work for the Viking Fleet.

In 2000, his first captain job was aboard a boat conducting harbor cruises, piloting one-hour tours.

“It was never anything I wanted to do. I wanted to go fishing,” he asserted. But in the ensuing years as the national economy fell apart, Derrico decided to use the pontoon boat he acquired and give running a water taxi service a whirl.

Independent / Kitty Merrill

The most fun part of the job, he said, is the sense of wonder new passengers express. “They didn’t know this existed, or had never seen the harbor from the water, or they say ‘I never really thought the lake is that big.’”

Derrico also enjoys the mix of people he carries aboard the taxi.

“I’ve had somebody from Brazil

talking to somebody from Iowa.

Out for the night, they’re already having fun, this adds to it.”

The October Rose generally makes about a dozen stops at restaurants and bars located along the shore of the lake and harbor.

This year, the captain is thinking of running the taxi “like a trolley” continually moving from stop to stop in a loop. Or, he may remain available on an “on call” basis.

One of his favorite excursions is a full moon cruise, where he’ll sometimes let the October Rose drift in the middle of the lake under the giant orb, as lights and noise from busy seaside restaurants dissolve into the distance – “I love it,” he said. Derrico also favors treating newcomers to the many aspects of the setting sun during “sundowner” cruises and the starlit sky during special meteor shower cruises. And the all time best? A sundowner during the full moon “when you feel yourself between the moon and the sun.”

This summer, Derrico is looking to try a few more types of cruises during the day. He’d like to expand morning nature cruises for kids,

May 22, 2013

teaching them how to catch lobsters, attach bands and measure them.

And because “all I’ve ever wanted to do is fish on a party boat,” Derrico is going to try to offer brief familyoriented fishing trips of just an hour or two for those who aren’t ready for or interested in lengthy charter trips.

But as he begins to grow the new aspects of the business, Derrico will continue to be available for water taxi rides. “All my business is repeat,” he said. “They know how to find me.”

So as the sun begins to set over Lake Montauk, or as Derrico calls it, “a tapestry that never stops moving,” wave the October Rose down as it passes along the shore.

Beau coups buggies at last year’s car show hosted by the Amagansett Fire Department

The Amagansett Fire Department hosts its annual car show Saturday from 9 AM to 3 PM on the AFD grounds. Check out hundreds of awesome rides, all to rockin’ al fresco accompaniment by the Blue Collar Band.

Tickets are $5 per person, children under 12 free. Food from the firehouse kitchen including BBQ pulled pork, chili, hamburgers, hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, ice cream, and a full line of soft drinks will be available for purchase. Rain date: Sunday.

This is the second year the FD has held the show over Memorial weekend. According to front man Steve Graboski, the show, as a means to raise money for next year’s centennial celebration, was the idea of firefighter Pete O’Brien, who passed away last winter. In April of 2014, the department plans to hold a parade for its 100th anniversary.

Last year’s car show featured, “everything from antique fire trucks to motorcycles and everything in between,” Graboski reported. He expects the same this year.

A “little Citron” from the late 60s won the People’s Choice trophy in 2012. The department plans to award 20 trophies in all on Saturday, with categories including the best car from each decade, and the best paint job.

The success of the show is “all weather –driven,” Graboski underscored.

Last year show day saw lots of sun and a great turnout that added $8000 to the anniversary kitty.

Organizers of the event are excited to announce that the area’s U.S. Congressman Timothy Bishop will be joining the Mayor and other local officials and business leaders in attending the event.

Last year’s “Kites for a Cure” brought 1100 guests together, and raised $60,000 in support of funding innovative lung cancer research.

Organizers hope for an even greater turnout in 2013. With underwriting sponsorship from Rechler Equity Partners and The Hampton Business District at Gabreski, the kite fly is able to use every dollar raised at the event to fund lung cancer research.

RICK’S SPACE Wave That Flag Growing up in Sag Harbor, Memorial Day meant the parade and barbecues. Everyone was either in the parade or went to line Main Street and watch it.

The line-up was the same: boy scouts and girl scouts, a few local dignitaries like the mayor who sat in the front seat of someone’s convertible, the ladies auxiliary, and of course the annual highlight, the North Sea Fire Department. The

E

guys would dress up as bums and act really crazy and shoot water all over the crowd. Somehow, that passed for funny in those days.

The Sag Harbor Community Band was a staple in the parade.

The musical director when I was a kid was “Pop” Mazzeo. The musical director when my mom was a kid was “Pop” Mazzeo. If you did the math you realized Mazzeo became the musical director when he was

still a fetus.

I wanted Eric Clapton to take the gig when Pop finally passed on, but he chose to join Cream instead.

The band members would play a medley of their greatest hit over and over and the kids would sing along with filthy limericks passed from generation to generation. It was very patriotic.

The barbecue would last all day. My dad and my Uncle Tom would get a load of clams from the cove and put them right on the barbecue until they opened.

We’d have corn on the cob and burgers and of course apple pie and strawberry shortcake and soak up the sun.

Every house had an American Flag flying on Memorial Day. If you didn’t, you were suspected of being a Commie.

In those days geography was very simple – there was France, where we had to go fight to bail out those candy asses. There was our staunch ally, England (stiff upper lip and all that), and then Africa, where Tarzan summered.

All the rest of the world was a variation of Red – that is, Commies.

The Cold War lasted throughout my childhood and finally began to thaw thanks to President Nixon.

Nixon went over to Red China for a state dinner. He was expecting the usually cafeteria fare when he was given a menu and told he could select any four items he wanted to eat, but no more than

two from column A and two from column B. He was thrilled beyond belief and immediately embraced Mao Tse-Tung and the thaw was on.

Later, Nixon famously choked at the dining table, his face landing squarely in his plate. It was then he learned what “hot mustard” means in Chinese.

The Ruskies were our bitter rivals. The Cold War reached a crescendo when we discovered Russia was setting up shop in Cuba – obviously, the plan was to steal all the good baseball players. They also ostensibly beat us into space, although most historians now believe there was no such think as a sputnik and we never landed on the moon, either. It was all smoke, mirrors, and movie cameras.

It went like this: America: we sent a monkey into space Russia: we put the first man in space America: we orbited the earth Russia: we orbited the earth 100 times America: we put a man on the moon Russia: we flew through the Milky Way America: we went to the Three Musketeers I’ve always tried to honor the tradition by hosting a barbecue ever y Memorial Day, but it’s getting more and more difficult.

Half the time the bays are closed to clamming because of one toxin or bacteria in the water. The last time I tried to eat corn on the cob I lost three teeth and had to spend 10 grand on a bridge. And chopped meat, they found out, was cut with the notorious “pink slime,” which is even worse than the stuff Nixon choked on. And don’t even get me started on Mad Cow disease – there is nothing more vicious than a mad cow, every local knows that.

I hate to be a buzz kill, but barbecue itself is bad. The burnt meat is a carcinogen, the smoke is harmful and can kill birds and insects (OK, so that’s a plus), and even the barbecue sauce has chemicals that can alter the human DNA and produce monkeybabies. Oh yeah, nowadays the doctors advise us not to lie out in the sun – it’s bad for you. Who knew?

All that being said, I’m going to fire up the grill come Monday, have a cool drink, and bask in the freedom of knowing that if I want to eat poisonous crap and breath in smoky death, than damn it, I will.

This is America – and there is nowhere else I’d rather be.

Selective Exposure

Independent/James J. Mackin

EDITORIAL

Enjoy . . . And Remember It’s here – the summer season officially begins with the arrival of Memorial Day weekend.

For those locals who bemoan the traffic and the lack of civility some visitors exhibit, try and remember our economy is built upon the influx of people that arrive along with the warm weather. Many of our neighbors and friends depend on summer business to survive, so let’s all make nice!

On a more somber note, Memorial Day was established after the Civil War to honor those who gave their lives in battle. Amidst the reverie, let’s all remember to take a moment to reflect on those young men and women who died far away to protect our freedom. There wouldn’t be barbecues and music and dancing if so many hadn’t stepped forward when our country was in danger.

For The Independent, this is our 20th summer -- you are holding the biggest issue of the year thus far. We value our loyal advertisers and our legion of readers, and we are proud of the job we do. We remain a community first publication, even though thanks to the Internet, we have readers literally all over the world – every edition is available in its entirety at www.indyeastend.com We strive to please. If your organization, civic group or charity needs to get something in the newspaper, email or call us – we’ll get it in for you. We have pages for school news, library events, business briefs, and much more. We publish every letter we receive so if you want to chime in on a pressing issue or just make an observation feel free to email us at news@indyeastend.com. And if there is a marriage or wedding in your family, by all means send a picture in.

As always, The Independent, the largest circulation newspaper on the East End, is published free of charge. Have a great weekend and a wonderful summer.

To the Editor, Our Ambassador has been killed with three brave Americans and once again the current occupant of the White House has voted “present.” Obviously to him, they were expendable. Whether or not our response teams could have reached them in time, we should have tried. The fact that they were told to “stand down” shows a callous indifference to human life.

I can not prove the reasons for lack of leadership in this regard. However, considering the election was a short time away I can surmise that was the prime consideration in not trying to save American lives. Fearless leader had just told us that the terrorists were on the run and almost finished, and here they were attacking a consulate and killing an ambassador, three others, and injuring many more. So what else could he do but blame it on a video and an enraged crowd instead of terrorists.

Now that some of us are questioning what happened and why we did nothing to help those being attacked, the administration and its willing accomplices in the media are circling the wagons to protect the culprit or culprits.

Where are the current incarnations of Woodward and Bernstein? Perhaps the elite graduates of our schools of journalism believe that only some cover-ups should be exposed.

Unfortunate Situation Dear Editor, Your article and editorial prompted me to write to you. Your excitement and

gleeful hand rubbing in revealing Mr. Casale’s supposedly nefarious past was nauseating. It was also factually confused (deliberately?), Mr. Casale was working at the school until he left for the East End and Ms. Lee was supposedly reprimanded in 2005 but was forced out in 2010, five years after Mr. Casale left. You also state “unnamed sources” as your prime information source, obviously problematic but knowing your penchant for yellow journalism, to be expected. I don’t understand your need to blow an unfortunate situation way out of proportion and tarnish the reputation of a hard working, committed and caring professional.

JOHN WILTSHIRE Editor’s Note: Ms. Lee fought the decision against her and it took five years before she was finally penalized – her license to teach was revoked in 2010. It cost the school district over $350,000 in legal fees.

You might want to check out the article about the matter in this week’s issue: fellow administrators and teachers testified about Casale to investigators and yes, they are named. If you want to call the fact that a fifth grade class was encouraged to cheat on a state test by a teacher an “unfortunate situation” so be it. No one enjoys reporting bad news – it’s our job. Hope you feel better.

Circus Come To Town Dear Editor, Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Reid and Biden have “come out” of the closet of crime and corruption into an open three ring circus featuring the Benghazi cover-up, the IRS political scandal and the Associated Press wiretap fiasco.

The circus features Biden as Archie Bunker, only dumber, Reid as Digger O’Dell, who’s tasked with burying the bodies, Pelosi as nurse Ratched of the Washington Cuckoo’s Nest and Obama, who labeled Benghazi a “side show” and plays the barker for Hillary Continued on Page 28.

PLEASE RECYCLE

Mobile Home Concerns Dear Rick, We wanted to thank you for the story you ran in your issue about the help and guidance Dominick Stanzione is giving to the East Hampton Mobile Home Community and its newly formed and incorporated tenants association.

There have been efforts in the past by previous tenants of this community in obtaining what every tenant hopes to receive from their landlord. Safety, security and knowing that when things break, they get fixed in a reasonable amount of time.

Our situation is unique in that we own our homes but rent the property they are on from RHP, the company that owns this park. Granted-they are a for-profit company and there are no laws that stop them from increasing the rent every yearbut we are concerned about the value of our property, because as rent increases yearly, our services decrease. To the point that several dangerous situations have developed over time.

It was interesting to read Joseph Carbone’s response to your article. We fully understand that RHP is a for-profit business. What we have a problem with is that ever since RHP purchased this mobile home park we have watched the condition of the roads deteriorate, our electrical lines and equipment fall seriously behind current NY state safety codes; there are serious drainage problems that go unattended; we have lost the pool and full access to the recreation building that used to exist which leaves our children nowhere to play other than the street; the septic system, although work is being done, for which we are grateful - still sends off noxious fumes; and there is no maintenance to the many trees here in the park.

Mr. Carbone states that arborists are brought in to check on the condition of the trees, and that so far no trees have fallen on any houses. But . . . they have fallen on cars. Every storm with high winds that pass through the area takes down large limbs that do damage to cars, roofs, and whatever lies underneath. There is no preventative pruning or maintenance of the park. Further. we are not even allowed to use the dumpster on the premises to dispose of these limbs; parking rules are not enforced, so that often times there is no access room for emergency vehicles.

By Karen Fredericks

Are you looking forward to Memorial Day and the start of the summer season?

Suzanne Wesnofske I was born and raised here and I love the summer. I’m looking forward to it very much but not all the traffic and headaches that go with it. And I do hope all the roadwork and repaving that’s going on is finished by summertime. That will definitely help.

Tom Gabriel In a way I feel at home because I grew up in the city. And I moved out here many years ago.

So when summer comes, now I’m still out in the country and not having to head back to the city. So I get the best of both worlds.

Megan Dalene I’m not happy about the vast amounts of people who will be arriving soon. And I’m not looking forward to the crazy traffic that comes with them. But I am looking forward to summer.

I guess it’s a kind of trade-off when you live in someplace like this.

Chris Woodcock I’m a graphic designer and I travel to and from work every day so obviously I’m not looking forward to the summer traffic. And it’s already starting! Just today I couldn’t find a parking spot at the grocery store. It’s a little excessive.

And there is absolutely no security onsite.

Joseph Carbone and the property owners (RHP) refuse to meet with, or communicate with us. They ignore our phone calls, and refuse to allow our association or the tenants to share their email address with us. Generally when a complaint or problem arises the company’s standard reply to our many concerns regarding major safety issues is: “Sorrythat’s your (the tenant’s) responsibility.”

The East Hampton Mobile Home community is comprised of senior citizens on a fixed income, and middle to low income working class people and families. Yet we pay one of the highest rent rates in Suffolk County. Considering the fact that we are putting approximately $1.7 million yearly into the pocket of RHP, it seems to us that we should be paid more attention to than merely contributing solely to the mortgage payments as Mr. Carbone states in the Indy article.

In closing, the EHMHO, Inc. would like to thank Dominick Stanzione for giving us both time and much needed direction. He has attended our meetings, and followed through-helping us sustain our momentum as well as orchestrating novel and unique ways of presenting many forms of factual information to address our many problems, and generously seeking out and introducing

us to many parties who will be able to help us in the future. Thanks also to Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Senator Ken LaValle. In this day and age where “politician” has become a dirty word, we feel very lucky to have these three gentlemen representing our community in our government-both local and statewide.

Thank you to The Independent for giving us a place to represent the truth of the matter.

NANCY QUINN President, East Hampton Home Owners Tenants Association, Inc.

Assuming The Worst Hello Rick, A couple of other thoughts about Anna Throne-Holst’s campaign financing. Let’s assume the worst: Anna has been concealing contributions from wealthy New York City investors who are seeking approval for large development projects. What happens to Linda Kabot’s argument if Ms. T-H’s contributors will be or are employing local Republicans? On the other hand, the issue of the recharge basin doesn’t threaten employment. Solving the problems involving the basin can actually create jobs.

Cut The Waste Dear Editor, Nursing home residents on Medicaid have not received a Personal Needs Allowance increase since 1981. Currently the monthly allowance is $50. Out of that meager allowance, residents are expected to pay for phone, clothing, stamps, newspapers, toiletries, hair cuts and styling, SCAT (Suffolk County Accessible Transportation) tickets, etc.

I attended and gave testimony at the March 6th public hearing concerning the SCAT fare increase. Instead of raising the fare, SCAT was urged to clean up the waste in dispatching. For example, there were four members from my nursing home that attended a meeting on April 30. SCAT dispatched three buses to send us to the same destination at the same time. This inefficiency occurs regularly.

I feel that it is unjustified to bridge the budget gap by expecting nursing home residents to pay an increase of $3 to $4 per ride one way, a 33 percent increase, for a SCAT bus ticket. Residents of nursing homes include many disabled individuals who use SCAT to attend events and visit friends and family. The county needs to review SCAT operations before closing the budget gap by increasing the bus fares for nursing home residents.

JOAN DUBOIS Nursing Home Resident

Reviewing The Stats Dear Editor, Take Nicholas Zizelis’ dread of firearms and the “violent” Far Right. Rather, Dan, take Sigmund Freud’s “General Introduction to Psychoanalysis” (1952): Hoplophobia (n.): The irrational fear of weapons, correctly described by Freud as “a sign of emotional and sexual immaturity.” Hoplophobia, like homophobia, is a displacement symptom; hoplophobes fear their own “forbidden” feelings and urges to commit violence.

Homophobes fear their own homosexuality.

Serving is not an imposition. It’s a “duty” and an “obligation.” A third word for you Nick: Responsibility.

According to Nick, gun violence is committed by dangerous Far Right activists, Tea Party extremists and those nutjobs who have the nerve to refer to the supreme law of the land, aka the U.S. Constitution. For example Mitt Romney? And “racists” who read the constitution who deserve an IRA audit because of their beliefs.

Like most Jihadists, Hassan has aligned himself with the Democratic Party in the same sense the liberal-left has aligned itself with Jihadists.

Shark Tourney

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Continued from page 16.

Fishermen’s Conservation Association, Montauk Boatmen Inc., AFTCO and the Concerned Citizens of Montauk.

The Shark’s Eye Tournament is also endorsed by Mote Marine Laboratory’s Center for Shark Research, the nation’s only congressionally designated center for research and education on sharks. Director Dr. Robert Hueter says, “Sharks are in trouble and catch-and-release tournaments promote the vital cause of shark conser vation while providing benefits to science, too.”

There’s still time to become a sponsor of the historic event.

Donors can sign on as Shark Saints, with a gift of $2500; Shark Angels for $1000 and Shark Halo for $500.

For more details on Shark’s Eye – Montauk’s first satellite tag shark tournament, or to become a sponsor, contact Darenberg via email at yachts@optonline.net, or by phone at 631-668-5900.

Bassman

Continued from page 15. now a captain with his own Miss Mac Charters, directs would-be bass catchers to read the sections on equipment, baiting and rigging strategies and technique “each season, just before the full moon in June.” You can’t help but be a better striper fisherman because of them, he writes.

Throughout the years, Mikoleski hasn’t kept his bass obsession and knowledge to himself. More than a hundred of his articles have been published in various outdoor magazines, and when he caught his 50-pounder, he and his catch graced the cover of the Long Island edition of The Fisherman. Mikoleski believes that having an article he wrote as a teen printed in the magazine laid the groundwork for the book.

Continued from page 14. upstairs studio at LTV has “a funky, cool, industrial” feel that meshes well with a club theater event.

Action is music driven, thanks to “an exciting, incredible soundtrack” that plays as the audience, wearing masks, moves through 13 rooms that comprise the setting.

The story of Eve is, said Mueth, “about the human struggle and soul evolution.” She promises themes calling forth joy, redemption, and resurrection as a mad scientist/ artist figures out how to build his/ her ultimate piece of art. She comes to life with her own developing will . . . as every cowgirl should.

Eve will run from July 23 to August 4. Stay tuned for ticket information.

In addition to the dance theater company, Mueth continues work as an Equity Union Actor, director and choreographer whose recent work includes performing in the

world premier (actor, dancer, dance captain) of Monodramas at Lincoln Center, Tale of the Allergist’s Wife with the Mulford Rep, and In the Room With Molly Bloom in both NYC and the Robert Wilson Watermill Center.

She is the founder and artistic director of the Mulford Rep Theater, an Equity Union summer company also based in East Hampton.

Mueth has just been cast by director Tony Walton to act and choreograph Noel Coward’s Tonight at 8:30 starring Blythe Danner this summer at Guild Hall. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Continued from page 9. that Casale enabled Lee, covered up for her afterwards, and even promoted her to Assistant Principal.

The Office of Legal Services of the OSI said Casale likely lied when he said he had no knowledge of Lee’s actions. The report stated, “Mr. Casale had knowledge that Ms. Lee . . . engaged in misconduct during the May 2004 state math test,” further stating the charge that he covered up the cheating scandal was “substantiated.” Two employees at the school testified that they believed Casale knew.

Lee eventually lost her license to teach after nearly five years of legal maneuvering that cost the district over $350,000.

“Two months after I started at Springs the OSI issued a final report that was never shared with me – a single allegation against me was substantiated,” Casale wrote.

Casale maintained some teachers resisted changes he tried to initiate.

Several people testified under oath that Casale tried to squash the initial in-house investigation initiated by students and teachers at PS-91 when Lee was accused of giving students answers. He was accused of destroying written statements signed by two students

that stated Lee provided answers to questions. The matter reached The Chancellor’s Office of the New York City Department Of Investigation despite Casale’s attempts to keep it under wraps, two sources said.

One student, identified as Student A in the OSI report, “stated that Ms. Lee told the students that the principal, Eric Casale, gave her permission to help the students with the questions.” Casale, when questioned, said he thought it was a practice test.

When students complained to other teachers and administrators, some became concerned Casale wasn’t taking any action against Lee. The fact that Casale promoted Lee raised the eyebrows of investigators, especially since Casale passed over a more qualified candidate in favor of Lee. Investigators queried him about it, and according to the report, “Mr. Casale informed the investigator his decision to appoint Barbara Lee was professional, not personal.”

Another assistant principal, Shelly Debin, said Casale told her “to

destroy the statements” signed by the students. But another teacher said Debin kept copies of the statements, which eventually found their way to higher authorities outside the school.

“He left. He knew he was in hot water,” a source said of Casale.

“He resigned before he could be disciplined. We were shocked when we heard he surfaced at some Long Island School [Springs].”

Springs School Superintendant Dom Mucci and the Springs School Board President Kathee Burke Gonzalez both failed to answer queries from The Independent. The Springs School Board posted a letter on the Springs school website in support of Casale. ”The fact that the paper has chosen to sensationalize the issue by impugning the character of a man of integrity, Eric Casale, is offensive and reprehensible,” Mucci wrote in part in a mass email to parents last week. The Independent’s response is in this issue on page 48.

New Restaurants For Sag And Bridge

By Emily Toy

As summer quickly approaches, local businesses are gearing up for what will surely be a fast paced, energetic season. This year, several restaurants that have been firmly rooted within the community got a new face, some of them got new owners, and they all got a new attitude.

In Sag Harbor, what have been considered long-standing locales are now newly designed, fresh-faced businesses offering a twist on the classics for the former whaling port.

An English-style gastropub has infiltrated the centuries old village, offering elevated American comfort food in what used to house Thaiinspired restaurant Phao.

Dubbed The Cuddy (a small cabin or shelter on a boat)- conceived by partners Jeff Resnick, Tora Matsuoka and Jesse Matsuoka- it has a bright, cozy and rustic vibe. It’s been open for just over a month and a newly renovated interior features lots of barn wood and a casual, yet sophisticated, ambiance.

The restaurant offers everything

from cured black sea bass (ceviche style), to bacon wrapped roasted quail. Smoked wild boar ribs, fried chicken and waffles, and Berkshire pork chops, to name a few, are also available on the menu. Half a dozen side dishes and a handful of desserts round out the simple, yet diverse menu. Artisinal beers are available on tap, as well as specialty bottles of beer and abundant wines.

Handcrafted cocktails are also available.

The Cuddy is open Tuesday through Sunday at 5:30 PM and is located at 29 Main Street. For more information, call 631-725-0101.

On the other side of the Harbor’s Main Street, towards Bridgehampton, Madison & Main has taken the place of its predecessor, New Paradise Cafe.

Seafood centric and bistro style, Madison & Main features a newly designed interior. The bar has moved from the middle of the restaurant to the front, easily seen from Main Street. Newly constructed French doors adorn the front of the building with deep

brown, lush banquets throughout the brick dining room.

Co-owned by Michael Gluckman and Executive Chef Eric Miller, Madison & Main is offering brunch, lunch and supper menus.

For appetizers, there’s a wide selection of raw bar options as well as ample choices for shared plates.

Entrees include steaks, pasta, seared sea scallops, tuna, sea bass, and roasted duck. Lunch includes sandwiches and salads, with the brunch menu offering French toast, eggs, organic granola and fresh fruit. An extensive kids menu is also available as are specialty cocktails and a wide array of wines and beer.

Open seven days a week, Madison & Main opens its doors at 11 AM. Located at 126 Main Street. Call 631-725-6246 for reservations and more information.

About four miles up the road, in Bridgehampton, Fresh Restaurant now inhabits the property of the former Southfork Kitchen. (Visit indyeastend.com to read Arts Editor Jessica Mackin’s restaurant review of Fresh from last week.)

Fresh brings a farm-to-table concept with Chef Todd Jacobs at the helm. Open seven days a week since the beginning of the month, local, organic, gluten-free and

vegetarian options line the menu.

Fresh is located at 203 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton. Call 631-537-4700. No reservations will be taken.

On the way out of Bridgehampton, towards Water Mill is Mercado, a Mexican style restaurant and bar.

Formerly Agave, Chef Julieta Ballesteros offers authentic Mexican cuisine including tacos, chicken mole, empanadas, tortilla soup, queso fundido, and quesadillas.

Other menu items include pasta dishes, burgers, and surf and turf.

A kids menu is available. Lunch is also served and brunch is available on the weekend.

The bar features 75 tequilas and 20 beers on draft. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday at the bar from 4 to 6:30 PM. There’s a Happy Hour bar menu, with menu items at $6 each. The menu also features a “Taco of the Day” with each respective day offering a special taco, for $8.

Mercado is located at 19 7 0 M o n t a u k H i g h w a y i n Bridgehampton. Open seven days a week beginning at 11:30 AM. Brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays at 11 AM. For more info call 631237-1334.

Children’s Book Reviewer

Panel Draws Crowd

By Karen Fredericks

The poster for Saturday’s “Children’s Book Reviewer Panel” discussion at the Amagansett Free Library invited everyone from the ages of nine to 90 to attend. And that’s an accurate description of who turned up to listen to an all-star panel discuss how children’s books are evaluated and reviewed.

It was clear a passion for children’s literature is not the exclusive domain of he young. As panelist Kaylee Davis said, “I have no children, but I am extremely immature, and while that may not be a prerequisite for evaluating or appreciating children’s books - it’s definitely an asset.“ Davis is the author of The Barnes & Noble Guide To Children’s Books, a staple of schools, libraries and lovers of children’s literature.

Renee McGrath, Librarian, School Library Journal reviewer and former Newberry Award Committee member, spoke of the need to know when it was time to switch between her librarian, parent and child “hats” when reviewing books.

Echoing Davis, she said it was her child “hat” that she most frequently reached for.

Panelist Todd Jackson is a member of the venerable Bank Street Children’s Book Award Committee.

She described the excitement she felt working with their Young Reviewers Program. Present in the audience were two of the program’s nine-year-old members. Jackson read aloud from several reviews penned by children that showed an impressive depth and insight.

They wrote about complexity of character, effective protagonists and preferences in point of view.

Drawing laughter from the room, someone in the audience remarked that these were things they’d never even heard of until graduate school.

Jeanne McDermott, the children’s librarian of the Amagansett Library, was both the fourth panelist and the event organizer.

She arrived at the Amagansett Library in 2011 after spending 25 years in the marketing department of several children’s book publishers.

She reviews for Booklist, Kirkus and ReadKiddoRead.com. She is also a member of the American Library/ALSC Notable Children’s Book Committee. At the end of the evening she put the main question of the evening’s event to the panel: “With over 20,000 children’s books

Independent / Karen Fredericks

Jeanne McDermott

published in 2011 alone, why do we do this? Why do we keep reviewing and evaluating this sea of children’s books?”

The entire panel seemed to be in agreement with Kaylee Davis who said, “the goal is to get the best books into the hands of children and keep them reading . . . to keep the great body of children’s literature alive.”

If there were a bodybuilding magazine for dogs, “Rocky” would be on the cover, or perhaps the centerfold. This awesome canine was used as a stud by a backyard breeder and would have lived his life on a chain, had it not been for the intervention of RSVP, Inc. He is four years young and a muscular 80-plus pounds. But Rocky’s best feature is that contrary to his formidable appearance, he is friendly with people, children and other dogs.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

www.indyeastend.com

Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard

No Fuss, No Muss – And Your Favorite Price (Free!) – Vessel Exams

In the springtime, the saying goes that a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love. This may be true but just about everyone I speak to lately has had it with “cabin fever” and wants to get back out on there! And, fitfully, spring is here. When getting to work commissioning your boat for the water, stop for a moment and consider getting the “gilt edged” United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Vessel Safety Check – better know as the Vessel Exam. Oh, and it’s free.

What It is Not! USCGAux vessel safety checks are not a regulatory event. If your boat doesn’t pass all components of the exam, no one “turns you in.”

The examiner will explain exactly what needs to be brought back into line to conform to federal standards and, most likely, will also give you his or her cell phone number. “Call me when you’ve addressed the issue. I’ll come over and we’ll get this boat decal’d as having passed the USCGAux Vessel Safety Check.”

What Does The Decal Mean?

It says something very simple.

This boat meets, at least, federal minimums for 15 specific safety or regulatory features. Can USCG active-duty members still come alongside and board you? Of course they can. They need no reason whatsoever (see “We’re Being Boarded by the Coast Guard – Now What?” The Independent at www. indyeastend.com, 11/15/06). But experience tells me that when the regulars are faced with two boats, and one has passed our exam and the other hasn’t, the other guy had better hope that he has no reason to worry.

How Do I Get One? In an outreach program started a few years ago, the USCGAux flotillas “Out East” have created “Vessel Exam Days” with a number of marinas and dock masters. Some throw BBQs for their customers.

Some set up tables with fresh sets of flares (the most common reason for a boat not to get its decal) and other necessary items like fire extinguishers or air-horns, etc. So, check with your dock master and, if he or she isn’t planning to sponsor a “VE Day,” email me below and I will follow up directly. Or, you can go online. WWW.CGAUX.ORG and click on Vessel Safety Checks.

Follow a few simple prompts and you will be connected via email to a USCGAux-trained Vessel Examiner for scheduling. Or just email me below and we’ll get it set up for you.

What Will The Examiner Check?

Believe it or not, the first thing that the Examiner will ask for is your registration. The registration, not a copy, is required by law to be on the boat. If it isn’t there, the examiner will still conduct the exam to see if there are any other show-stoppers but the VSC decal cannot be awarded without a valid registration on the boat. It can be in your wallet as long as you are on the boat!

An important reason for the registration to be in hand is that right on it is the length of the boat as it is known to DMV. USCG safety standards are size-dependent. For example, a boat over 39.4 feet shall (must!) have a copy of the Navigation Rules (the COLREGs you’ve seen so much on here) on the boat. Twenty-six feet or more?

Where’s your Pollution placard?

Trash placard? At least two “B-1” fire extinguishers aboard?

Why Don’t All Boats Pass?

Well, as I noted above, the most common reason is expired flares.

What does that mean? Your flares come from the factory with 40 months of “life” and that date is stamped on the side of the flare.

Why 40? So, after shipping and sitting on a shelf, hopefully you have three years (36 months) of coverage. Are the flares still good after the expiration date? Almost without a doubt, they are. But the Examiner cannot give you your decal unless you have at least three day and three night “pyrotechnic devices” aboard in an un-expired state.

What else can go wrong? Well, before you get nervous, with over 100,000 exams as the basis, 75 percent of all boats pass on the first pass. And it is not a regulatory event if it doesn’t. You get specific advice from the Examiner on what you need. And likely his or her cell phone number to schedule the reexam. And, oh yes, it is free. Both times.

Here is the breakdown: Display of Numbers Registration

5.435 percent Documentation 5.574 percent

2.742 percent Local Regulations 10.432 percent

Personal Flotation 2.832 percent DeviceVentilation 1.451 percent

Overall Vessel Condition (catch-all) – 4.670 percent

Visual Distress Signals 12.221 percent Fire Extinguishers 4.501 percent Backfire Flame Control 1.639 percent Sound Producing Device 5.156 percent Navigation Lights 8.465 percent Marine Sanitation Device 2.921 percent Pollution Placard 2.375 percent MARPOL Trash Placard 2.802 percent Navigation Rules State

Does every boat need to pass every item? Not at all. If you don’t have a marine sanitation device (a “head”) aboard, the Examiner just checks “N/A.” But if you do, it must meet Federal standards for safe and secure operation.

Softball, Baseball Playoffs Underway

By Rick Murphy

The Riverhead softball team is looking to earn a county title.

A handful of local diamond teams are in the midst of doubleelimination playoff battles in their quest for county and Long Island titles.

The Southampton Mariners baseball team took an important first step Friday, shutting down Babylon 4-0 at home on Friday.

Wyatt Schmidt had his mojo going on the mound. He fanned a dozen and spun a two-hitter as the Mariners, the League VII champs with a 17-2 mark, sent the Panthers to the brink of elimination in the County Class B tournament.

Southampton was scheduled to face Center Moriches Monday after press time and will likely play today at 4 PM. The Center Moriches Red Devils, the Class B second seed, got by Mattituck 1-0 at home Friday. James Schaefer scored the only run of the game for the winners without the benefit of a base hit. Patrick Bryant was masterful on the hill for the winners, tossing a three hitter without walking a single batter.

Cameron Burt was the hard luck loser for the Tuckers – he threw a no-hitter, walking five batters.

The Southold Settlers are alive and kicking in the Class C playoffs.

The Settlers rallied from a 7-5 deficit by exploding for 10 runs in the sixth inning. Eighth grader Dylan Clausen smacked a three run double in the pivotal rally.

Waiting in the wings for the North Forkers was powerful Pierson/ Bridgehampton, the top seed and League IX champions with a sterling 19-1 mark. The two teams squared off Monday after The Independent went to press.

In softball action the Riverhead Blue Waves were set to begin their quest for a Class AA title in Smithtown on Monday. The team was slated to play again Wednesday win or lose at a site yet to be determined.

In Class B action number 4 seed, Mattituck takes on top seeded Center Moriches today at 4 PM on the Red Devils’ home field.

Bonac is in the playoffs. The locals travel to Babylon today for a 4 PM affair and will play again tomorrow at a site yet to be determined.

Pierson, looking for a Class C title, will play Friday at home against Port Jefferson. The team will play again Tuesday and next Wednesday at sites yet to be determined.

FANTASY SP

By Skippy Brown

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

RTS

OMG! It’s Fantasy Football Time!

The days are heating up and the beaches are getting crowded, so it must be that time again – football season.

Actually, the real thing doesn’t start until September, but Fantasy Football is already underway, with most of the major host sites beginning to schedule drafts.

Most purists think it’s too early, and many other believe it’s silly to draft a team before the preseason is completed, because a lot of players get hurt during the exhibition season.

Exactly. That’s why, if you stay away from oft-injured players, you can make a score by drafting early.

Take a guy like Darren (Run DMC) McFadden – I had him a few years back and he cost me a fortune when his little sprained foot turned into an extended stay on the bench. I vowed never to take him again.

There are lots of guys like him who are injury prone – Michael Vick, Danny Amendola, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Fred Jackson, just to name a few. Robert Griffin III, because of his slight build, may turn into another one. On the other hand, there are certain guys who never miss a game, like Ray Rice and Eli Manning, for example.

How do you make hay out of this? Simple. Move all the guys who have missed games due to injury in the past two or more years down your draft list. Move all the guys who played all 16 games up. It’s a simple but effective preseason strategy.

All the pundits are ranking players for the upcoming season, but if truth be told, Fantasy Football has evolved to the point where every scoring system needs its own list.

For example, some hosts, like CBS Sportsline, award six points for touchdown passes. Under that scenario, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers become fantasy gold.

In standard leagues, Adrian (All Day) Peterson is an overwhelming choice as the first pick. I like the other obvious running backs like

www.indyeastend.com

Arain Foster and Ray Rice. Of course, in PPR leagues wide receivers who catch passes, like Rice and Foster, become more valuable.

I normally wouldn’t take a wide

www.indyeastend.com

receiver in the first round but Calvin Johnson breaks the mold. After that I look for Trent Richardson to improve on his rookie season as Cleveland improves. After that, it’s a crapshoot between the top tier of quarterbacks and runners like Jamal Charles, C.J. Spiller, and Alfred Morris.

This is an exceedingly deep draft this year. You’ll make or break it depending on how you use your later picks, and how the rookie running back class breaks down.

May 22, 2013

Most experts who actually win – as opposed to the “experts’ who don’t – employ one of two strategies.

The more conventional is to draft a running back in the first round and an elite quarterback in the second, or, depending where you pick, viceversa. The other is to ignore the top tier of quarterbacks and wait until deep in the draft, and then nab two.

I got RG III and Matt Ryan in the 8th and 9th round last year.

Either way, get out the ski masks and your football jerseys. It’s back!

Knicks Future Not Bright The Knicks season came to an end last weekend with a 106-99 loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals series. It was a disappointing end for East End Knicks fans, but should not have been an unexpected one. New York had the biggest superstar in the series, a high-powered offense, and the bright lights of Broadway.

But what the Pacers lacked in headline appeal they gained in ball movement, teamwork, and defense; all the elements that win NBA playoff series.

The Knicks success this season was based on Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith. Anthony scored a game high 39 points in Game 6,

★

but after scoring 16 in the third quarter, he shot just two for seven in the fourth quarter. Ironically, J.R. Smith was also two for seven in the game’s final twelve minutes.

The most telling play for Anthony was in the fourth quarter.

After the Knicks led 92-90 with just over five minutes left, the Pacers went on a 7-0 run. Pacers center Roy Hibbert missed an eight-foot jumper, but Anthony was unable to box out David West on the right block. West went over and around Anthony for an easy tip in. The bucket set off a raucous Indiana crowd, extended the run to 9-0 and a 99-92 Indiana lead with two and a half minutes left.

New York was outrebounded in five of the series’ six games. No surprises there, as the Pacers were the NBA’s best rebounding team during the regular season. The Knicks, by the way, were the fifth worst in the league in rebounding.

Despite that statistic, many fans and New York analysts felt it was the Knicks who were destined for an Eastern Conference showdown with the Miami Heat. Instead, it was the Pacers, who in addition to being the league’s best rebounding team, were second best in points per game allowed, first in opponent field goal and three point percentages, and first in defensive efficiency. In fact, the second and third best teams in defensive efficiency, the Grizzlies (2), and the Spurs (3), are playing for the final two spots in the NBA Finals. As an aside, the Miami Heat was seventh in defensive efficiency while the Knicks were a distant seventeenth.

Yes, the Knicks won their first division title since 1994, had their most wins since 1997, and won a playoff series for the first time in thirteen years. But the season was supposed to be about more. This was supposed to be the Knicks chance to have a shot at the Heat, and maybe shock the world and reach the NBA Finals.

IN THE NEWS

Carmelo Anthony was surrounded with players on their last NBA legs (Jason Kidd, Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, et al) and the oldest team in league history at an average age of 32 years, 240 days.

This Knick team was built to win now, not next year, and they didn’t.

The Knicks chances begin to dwindle starting next season. New York is on the hook for two more years of Marcus Camby and Jason Kidd. Amare Stoudemire hasn’t been able to stay healthy, doesn’t seem to fit the rotation, and has $45 million remaining on his contract.

J.R. Smith is a free agent, and is likely to earn more than the $2.9 million he made this season, quite possibly from another team.

Outside of New York, Derrick Rose returns to the Bulls, the Celtics will bring back Rajon Rondo, and the Heat will still have LeBron James.

This season had a disappointing finish for Knicks fans. To make things worse, looking forward to next year isn’t necessarily a good thing.
