Memorial Day Celebrations On Tap

By Emily Toy

After one of the most brutal winters in recent history, East Enders are thrilled to be gearing up for the summer season. Memorial Day weekend marks the kick off for barbecues, starry nights outside, and days at the beach. It is also a time for residents and visitors alike to honor those who are continuing to fight for our country, all around the world, and to remember those who have fallen doing so.

Here is a roundup of what’s happening this weekend: • This Friday the RemsenburgSpeonk Elementary School will host a Memorial Day Parade starting at 10 AM. It starts at the school on Mill Road and continues down South Country Road. A service will follow at the memorial at South Phillips Avenue. Call 631-325-0203.

• Saturday will see Canio’s Books in Sag Harbor hosting “Remembrance, War and Peace” from 5 to 6:30 PM. In honor of Memorial Day, Canio’s Cultural Café hosts an open reading of poems and short prose on the titular theme. Readers are invited to read an excerpt from their favorite author, or something of their own. Call 631-725-4926 to register to read. All are welcome.

• The Veterans of Foreign Wars Everit Albert Herter Post 550 hosts a Memorial Day Parade on Monday and invites veterans to march with them. Form up at Guild Hall at 10:15 AM, the parade starts at 10:30 AM and proceeds down Main Street to the Memorial Green at the Hook Mill.

• In Montauk the weekend kicks off with the Blessing of the Boards

• The Village of Southampton Commission on Veterans Patriotic Events will hold its Memorial Day service on Monday as well.

SUMMER It’s summer and you have been invited to a three-month-long party as your reward for living through another lousy winter. Here’s what to expect for the next 99 or so days: Incredibly fresh, sweet corn from that little farm stand on Sagg Main just south of Loaves & Fishes . . .

Ice-cold beer, beefsteak tomatoes, clams, lobsters, a big, beautiful steak marinating in soy, garlic and ginger, fresh-cut flowers . . .

Jimmy Buffett singing “Cheeseburger in Paradise” on your car radio. Jack Johnson singing about making “Banana Pancakes” . . .

Margaritas . . .

Eating at ESTIA’S in Sag Harbor, featuring the best breakfast in the Hamptons served by the nicest people. Lunch and dinner are great, too . . .

Scoring a table at the LOBSTER ROLL Restaurant in Amagansett.

Home of the best lobster salad in the universe . . .

The incredible sliced steak at BOBBY VAN’S in Bridgehampton . . .

Good healthy, tasty food at FRESH in Bridgehampton. Get the skate. It’s delicious . . .

Grab yourself a perfect hamburger at THE CUDDY in Sag Harbor – nobody does it better…

Join the jockeying to get a reservation at DAVE’S GRILL in Montauk which, in my opinion, serves the best food on the East End . . .

THE EAST HAMPTON GRILL, THE PALM and NICK & TONI’S in East Hampton; THE BELL & ANCHOR in Sag Harbor and Bridgehampton’s OSTERIA SALINA, which proves how great authentic Sicilian food can be . . .

Now that the late and lamented

Della Femina Restaurant’s incredible chef Michael Rozzi is running the kitchen at THE 1770 HOUSE restaurant, scoring a reservation on a weekend will be the hottest ticket in the Hamptons . . .

My new favorite for Italian food, CAPPELLETTI at 3284 Noyac Road in Sag Harbor, is a modest, unpretentious treasure. Wonderful for families and kids. Luigi and Robin Tagliasacchi are the perfect hosts (he does the cooking), and I swear, their made-on-the-spot cannoli is the best I’ve ever tasted.

Their wonderful cannoli puts Ferrara of Little Italy to shame . . .

Browse for a great summer book at BOOKHAMPTON in East Hampton. This summer it’s a must. The only bookstore in the Hamptons had a rough winter and it’s important for their future (and ours) that everyone reading this column goes to Bookhampton to buy a book. Buy a book for your kids, too. For crying out loud, take that cellphone out of your ear and put some knowledge into your head. Read. We can’t afford to lose this bookstore . . .

Traffic jams around Exit 31 of the LIE that last for a weekend . . .

Orange traffic cones wherever you drive . . .

Margaritas . . .

Little kids coming out of the surf so teeth-chattering cold that you want to hug the warmth back into them . . .

Nasty hedge fund guys hopping off their own planes with a jaunty, arrogant strut. They have so, so much – why don’t they look happy? ...

The worst of the hedge fund guys is a creep who has earned the title “the neighbor from hell” from those who live near him . . .

Being the token Republican at a dinner hosted by and surrounded by smart, wealthy Wall Street Democrats who are frantically jumping on the Hillary bandwagon.

These are the same people who abandoned her for Obama six years ago. Now that they’ve had their fill of “hope and change,” they go on the offensive against the only Republican in the room. I smile and say, “I heard that Chuck Schumer is about to announce that he’s discovered Republicans are in favor of flesh-eating disease.” Across the table my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, flashes me her famous “stop being a shmuck” glare . . .

Cut-off jeans and T-shirts with dumb inscriptions . . .

Bike riders testing your driving skills and nerves on Further Lane ...

LIPA wimping out on the first real hot summer night. No one has done more for the candle business than LIPA . . .

Dumb drunks who should know better, aiming two-ton cars at innocent people. We need more Saturday night inspection roadblocks in the Hamptons. We need police cutting drunk drivers’ licenses into little pieces right before their eyes . . .

Three-charity, multi-party nights where the same 50 people jump from party to party. A conversation starts at one party and finishes two parties later. It doesn’t matter, nobody’s listening . . .

Undressing at night, reaching into your pants pocket and yelping as a cocktail toothpick is embedded in your palm. Check your blazer pocket and you’ll find a half-dozen cocktail toothpicks and God knows how many cocktail napkins . . .

Stretching out on a big soft chair in your backyard and finally finishing a book you started at the end of last summer . . .

Enjoying a beach party on a moonlit beach while keeping a close eye on the little kids as they watch the marshmallow they’re holding on the end of a branch going into a raging bonfire and magically turn from a white little pillow into a brown caramelized treat . . .

Margaritas . . .

Runners clogging up the roadway with their, “I’m healthy and you’re not” eyes . . .

Adorable six-year-old kids (with profit-making skills genetically bred into them) selling lemonade on Lily Pond Lane at outrageously high prices . . .

A late-night lightning storm that produces a magnificent light show; LIPA blows again . . .

Hurricanes that never

materialize. Then one that comes too close . . .

Margaritas . . .

Sipping a drink and taking in a beautiful sunset . . .

Feeling your tennis shirt starting to stick to your body while you warm up to play one early morning in August and wondering if the temperature is going to break 100 ...

Margaritas . . .

Bluefish, nutty as fruitcakes, following their prey right into shore, right to their doom. Overhead, gulls fly in lazy circles taking it all in . . .

Grown men hiding behind their sunglasses as they sneak lascivious looks at their children’s teenage nannies . . .

Starring in your own romantic movie as you watch a full moon turn the ocean or the bay into a shimmering silver carpet . . .

The East Hampton bees (smarter than the average bee) that stalk your cookouts and terrorize your kids all summer long . . .

Basting your children with suntan lotion with the same care you give your Thanksgiving turkey ...

Lost sunglasses, flippers, goggles, youth, bathing suits, nose clips, romance, boogie boards that you never seem to find again . . .

Spinning around town in the Kafka-like “land of no left turns,” searching for a parking space that doesn’t exist. You’re always under the watchful eyes of the traffic Gestapo (sweet-faced young kids in brown uniforms who have the dream job of enforcing the law on their elders) . . .

Falling into a 20-something hot new place in Montauk, feeling agechallenged and realizing for the first time in your life you don’t belong . . .

The Artists and Writers Annual Softball Game, where for a few hours the players can live out their childhood dreams of being Mickey Mantle. Watching guys who 20 years ago used to huff, now puff as they round the bases . . .

The Sunday night Land Rover/ Mercedes/BMW parade on 27 . . .

Feeling disappointed and awed at the same time as you see the first beautiful Monarch butterfly of the year. They only seem to show up on the last week of August . . .

Biting into the last hamburger you can possibly eat on the Monday night of Labor Day weekend and realizing that the potato trucks have started to roll and it’s all regretfully over . . .

What’s New? Southampton

By Jessica Mackin

It’s time for the new business shuffle. Many new businesses are entering the empty and closed storefronts of Southampton for the 2014 Summer Season.

It’s no secret that the Kardashian sisters, Khloe and Kourtney, will be opening a pop-up for their boutique Dash in Southampton Village, while they film their E! spin-off “Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons.” Rumors have been flying for months about the store’s locale. The shop will be located at 64 Jobs Lane, in the location behind the Southampton Village staple, the Driver’s Seat Restaurant.

Club Monaco, the high-end casual clothing retailer owned by Ralph Lauren is opening up on 35 Main Street. Across the street, the Upper East Side French eatery Le Charlot, is moving into the restaurant location that housed Barristers for over three decades.

Also on the dining front, Tap’s Restaurant is open in the location that was last North Sea Tavern. In Water Mill, Red Stixs will open on Montauk Highway serving Beijingstyle Chinese cuisine with executive chef Skinny Mei formerly of Philippe.

Citarella, the Hamptons and NYC grocery chain, has set up shop on

Hampton Road and is open for business. Looking for a caffeine boost?

Nestle’s Nespresso boutique has you covered. The high-quality coffee retailer has added a new location to Southampton Village.

Those who enjoy a good ol’ night out on the town will be happy to hear that the NYC/Las Vegas/LA nightclub 1Oak has added Hamptons to its roster. The venue will open in the location that was last South Pointe.

Attention tennis players, yogis and runners: Bandier Luxury Fitness, a luxury multi-brand women’s fitness boutique, will open on Main Street in Southampton.

Independent/Jessica Mackin, Michele McDonald

Men looking for a new place to get the perfect haircut should check out the Barber Lounge 36 at 36 Hampton Road.

Moving east to Water Mill, new addition West Elm is sure to make a splash this summer. West Elm, which sells modern furniture and home décor, has opened at the Water Mill Shoppes.

Horse Rescue Farm Gets By On Love

By Rick Murphy

Lucci, who is there to greet visitors at the entrance to Amaryllis Farm, epitomizes the farm itself: friendly, nurturing, and welcoming.

“Yes, you can feed me,” Lucci seems to say as he saunters over to the fence. And yes, he does pose for pictures.

But the peaceful setting, replete with chirping birds and a menagerie of friendly animals, does not tend to itself.

In fact, Amaryllis Equine Rescue Sanctuary, with five locations, is an incredible amount of work, and it falls on the shoulders of Christine Distefano and now her daughter, Rachel, 19.

Then there is the cost of maintaining some 43 horses and the other animals: $12,000 for hay and feed — that’s every month. There are 163 horses in the program right now -- the others have been place in foster homes.

Then there’s maintenance and equipment upkeep and hefty medical bills. The only sources of income are donors; the wealthy horse show and racing industries don’t help at all.

Rachel and Christine have witnessed the sordid side first hand – slaughter, horses that disappear in the middle of the night. Their jobs are to save them. “There’s always been a need,” said Distefano, whose been a rescuer for 25 years.

“The need has always been there.

You take a horse out of the pipeline and try to get them adopted. But you prepare for that moment when they can’t be placed.” Terminally ill and sight-impaired, even blind horses get to live out their lives in peace at Amaryllis.

Christine Barrett (her maiden name) grew up in Southampton and is a local girl through and through.

But after starting Amaryllis in 1989 she and her husband decided they would be better off where land was cheap. They bought a farm up near Lake Champlain and dubbed it Emerald Farm Horse retirement. “We had 13 horses, and four beautiful months. Then everybody disappeared.” Her husband died, leaving Christine to fend for herself and the horses. “I was cooking at a truck stop and believe me, I’m not very good in a kitchen. I was the dog warden in two counties. There was no way in hell I could keep the horses fed.” So she came home.

The nerve center nowadays is the farm at 830 Lumber Lane in Bridgehampton. There, a big happy family exits. There are some horses, ponies, mules, miniatures, guinea

pigs, rabbits, goats and more.

These are not just your run of the mill farm horses, either. Many are royalty, bred from the most regal stocks. The relatives of Nashua, Bold Ruler, and Seattle Slew reside here: they were cast aside for assorted reasons -- some are old, some are lame. Some needed medical attention, the owners too cheap to ante up. Many were abandoned for the For Rachel and Christine Distefano, taking SMF_Indep_FlwrTbl_May14_SMF_Indep_FlwrTbl_May14 5/15/14 10:44 AM Page 1 simple reason the owners, having care of horses is a job and a passion.

The Lighthouse District was amped over the weekend as the Montauk Music Festival went “to eleven” (for all you Spinal Tap fans).

From the gala opening party Thursday night at Gurney’s to the rocking crowds on the sunny green, and pretty much every venue for the ensuing three days and nights, it was one for the record books. Hard to pick just one highlight among literally hundreds of free performances, but Jimmy Fallon -- yes, THAT Jimmy Fallon of “Tonight Show” fame -- taking a gravely, energetic turn at The Doors’ “Roadhouse Blues” with local faves the East End Rock & Roll All Stars at the Montauket on Saturday night was definitely one for the album.

Truth without fear since 1826

It’s Approved, Wellness On The Way

Construction of a new Health and Wellness facility on the Eastern Campus of Suffolk County Community College in Riverhead will provide space for physical education classes and includes a basketball court, locker rooms, showers, faculty offices, strength training, aerobics, a competitionsize swimming pool, rock climbing wall and nursing classrooms. It was given the green light by the Suffolk County Legislature at its May 13 meeting.

The $17.75 million facility, 50 percent of which was funded by New York State, will provide conference and show space for local businesses and industry, will be available to the surrounding community, and will allow the Eastern Campus

to serve as a complete academic and conference center for eastern Suffolk County.

“This is a great moment for our college and all of eastern Suffolk County,” said Suffolk County Community College President Dr. Shaun L. McKay, who explained that without the new facility, it has been difficult for students to meet physical education requirements.

“Weather, the amount of daylight during winter months and available classroom space all limited our physical education course selections,” McKay explained.

“This is of tremendous value to East End residents,” McKay continued, “many of whom travel with their young children to our Michael J. Grant Campus in

Construction of the new facility is expected to begin later this year.

Parks And Preserves For Southampton

By Emily Toy

One of the most heavily-used parks in Southampton Town is getting a makeover.

On May 13 the town board approved legislation to replace safety surfaces and equipment at Red Creek Park in Hampton Bays.

Currently the park houses two playgrounds -- one designed for kids ages two to five and another for youth aged five to 12.

According to the Parks and Recreation Department, the entity responsible for maintaining the park itself, the new playgrounds will continue to be for children of the same ages described. The playgrounds there now were originally built in the late 90s.

“The current facilities are at the end of their useful life,” said Chris Bean, the Parks and Rec Superintendent. “Typically public play equipment lasts about 10 to 12 years, and with the heavy usage at these playgrounds it makes sense to replace what’s there rather than continuing to try to repair it.”

The project, spearheaded by

at 820 Brick Kiln Councilwoman Road in Sag Harbor, Christine Scalera, “This day marks the Town of along with the Town is expected to be Southampton’s commitment of Southampton and completed by Southampton Town midsummer. to preserving our cultural and Trustees.

“The funding environmental assets” “This rededication for this project ceremony is a comes from wonderful way to existing funds set aside for projects such as this celebrate the town’s commitment at no further cost to the taxpayer,” to preserving historic property,” said Scalera. “I am delighted that s a i d C o u n c i l w o m a n B r i d g e t we will be able to bring new and Fleming. “This day marks the Town updated playground equipment to of Southampton’s commitment the town’s largest park facility and to preserving our cultural and bring further enjoyment to our environmental assets, and we are grateful to property owners, like the residents and visitors alike.”

The 15,000-square feet park, Mulvihill family who are willing to located on Old Riverhead Road, work with us in this effort.”

The Mulvihill property includes features a creek running through it and has trails maintained by the 75 acres of pristine woodland and Southampton Trails Preservation freshwater wetlands, according to a press release from the town, and Society. was preserved in 2001 by the town with the assistance of the Peconic Mulvihill Preserve Earlier in the month, the Land Trust. Currently the house Mulvihill family, a local family with is located in the Great Swamp, roots in Southampton since 1921, containing what is perhaps one celebrated a rededication of the of the finest collections of inland Anna and Daniel Mulvihill Preserve freshwater wetlands remaining east

of the Shinnecock Canal.

Great Swamp stretches to about 300 acres and is outlined by Brick Kiln Road, Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike, and Scuttlehole Road. It’s linked to the Long Pond Greenbelt and is part of the Peconic Bioreserve.

In addition to the freshwater wetlands, the Great Swamp includes untouched stretches of red maple hardwood swamp and pitch pine oak forests.

A recent addition to the Preserve includes the Mulvihill home and another 10 acres of natural lands.

A total of 11.4 acres were acquired

by Southampton Town from a daughter of Anna and Daniel Mulvihill, through the Community Preservation Fund last December.

CPF Fund Manager Mary Wilson added, “The addition of these 10 acres of beautiful freshwater wetlands and forested lands really complements and helps to complete the tremendous preservation effort of the family. Both preserves are hydrological gems with great hiking trails and beautiful views.”

Jester Jim Set For Busy Summer

By Rick Murphy

It’s kind of surreal when a bride expecting flowers answers the door and is presented with a huge bouquet — made of balloons.

That is but one of the many tricks Jester Jim has up his sleeve.

Look for him throughout the summer, when he is a staple in The Hamptons, particularly at local libraries.

Meet Jim Mauro, who also juggles, does a comedy show, and leads a vigorous Beat Boxing workout.

It would be safe to say Jester Jim, as he prefers to be called, has never done an honest day’s work in his life, except for the fact his only other job has been working for The

Lord — doing Youth Ministry work.

Mauro grew up in Shirley and got the calling early. “My mother bought me a set of juggling balls when I was 13,” he related. There was one other kid at school who also juggled. “My friend and I would learn one trick every morning before class.”

Two years later Jim’s girlfriend had a friend who was a magician.

He was looking for an opening act to warm up the crowd. “One day he didn’t show up, so I kind of improvised for 45 minutes,” Mauro recalled. A career began.

Mauro became more and more popular, eventually quitting God’s work when he was 28. “My wife was pregnant, and you don’t make

much money doing youth ministry.”

The wife, by the way, was the same high school sweetheart from back in the day.

“I decided to branch out to a second business – balloons,” Mauro said. “I got a book out from the library, honed the craft watching You Tube, and became adroit enough to begin making ‘flower’ deliveries.” He sharpens his skills by going to regular gatherings with other balloonists to share new designs.

He’ll design to order. Recently he made a six-foot high Alice for an Alice In Wonderland-themed party.

He made a six-foot by four-foot bus for the Montauk Bus Company’s

Some of Jim’s creations.

Jim was the surprise guest at a recent bachelor’s party – and the groom went home happy.

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 Jester Jim Mauro can show anyone how to make balloon flowers.

anniversary, filled with balloon flowers.

He not only entertains, but teaches how to make assorted shapes and sizes, and not only to youngsters: he recently was the star of a bachelor party, and he mesmerized those attending. “I though he was a stripper,” the startled groom said.

“My most unusual was Elmo Riding A Bicycle,” he said.

With two young kids Jester Jim tries to make it home every night, so he keeps his travels to the greater Metropolitan are. That doesn’t stop him from doing as many as six shows in a single day, however. “This summer will be a record breaking year for me. So far I have 100 shows booked for this summer, including 45 libraries in New Jersey.”

Locally he’ll be back at Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton, where he performs every year.

He’s also good for a show every summer at East Hampton Library, the Hampton Bays Library, and two gigs at Goat on a Boat. Check www. jesterjim.com for more shows.

It’s Necessary, Public Service Says

By Kitty Merrill

We need it and the project should be completed next month.

Opponents of PSEG’s transmission line project expressed skepticism about the utility’s true need for an upgrade to its service line and called upon the State Department of Public Service to analyze the project.

This week a staff report on the project affirms PSEG’s assertion of need for the project in East Hampton as well as a similar upgrade underway in North Hempstead. “It is during the summer period that increased demand places the electric system reliability in greatest jeopardy, and therefore, both projects should be completed prior to the summer of 2014,” the report states.

The projects were evaluated based on state and national criteria.

Still to come is an examination of the cost to underground the lines, how consistent the approach has been to the Southampton project completed several years ago, and the public outreach used to inform the community about the project.

That last aspect, handled differently might have prevented the impassioned opposition that

erupted last winter when, seemingly overnight, giant poles began springing up in East Hampton Village. PSEG hosted informational sessions and sent letters to a percentage of the homes along the transmission line, but news of the impending project seemed to elude most community members and homeowners along the six-mile path that runs from the village to the transmission station in Amagansett.

Standard practice is for transmission systems to be designed so that the loss of one transmission facility doesn’t result in outages.

The DPS reviewed the project “in the context of this important principle.”

The area impacted by the new line encompasses East Hampton to Montauk and is called “the East of Buell load pocket.” It serves about 9000 customers. Existing lines between East Hampton and Amagansett are about 60 years old and the system “does not provide the necessary redundancy to ensure system reliability.” That means if the lines were lost during the summer, as many as 7000 customers could

experience outage even with the use of load transfers. “Depending on the extent of the transmission failure, we estimate that restoration of service to impacted customers could take up to 24 hours,” the DPS memo states.

Opponents pointed to generators located in Montauk that were decommissioned last year. Get those back up and running and the new big poles wouldn’t be necessary, they reasoned.

The report refutes that assertion.

The Montauk generators don’t comply with EPA rules, and the power they’d provide still wouldn’t alleviate the double circuit reliability deficiency. ”Even if they remained in operation, an additional transmission facility would be necessary to ensure system reliability,” the report states.

The height and girth of the poles has been one of the main sticking points with opponents. PSEG officials contend the size would make the poles more resistant to extreme weather events. The DPS study validates the contention. In addition to opining the new poles

meet with industry construction standards and their placement exceeds minimum standards, the report notes the new transmission line and poles contribute to a “hardening” of the electric system.

That they are designed to withstand a Category III hurricane increases system reliability.

PSEG spokesman Jeffrey Weir has this to say about the report: “We appreciate the Department’s quick response in their review. Completing these transmission projects will ensure that our customers have the reliable electric service that they deserve this summer. We take very seriously the Department’s recommendations on our public outreach process and will continue to engage the community on these major projects.”

East Hampton Town and PSEG are currently in court. Last month the town issued a stop work order at the Amagansett substation. Two attempts to have it lifted have been unsuccessful. This news from an independent source could assist the utility in arguing for the order’s lifting.

Harassed in Riverhead Riverhead Police received a call shortly after midnight Saturday that a man and a woman were fighting on Railroad Avenue outside the Loose Caboose. The women told police she was being “physically harassed” by Trendall J. Walker, 26, though there was an order of protection out on him. In the interim, Walker had left the scene without telling his side of the story. Police are looking for him, but have already lodged two charges: second degree Harassment and first degree Criminal Contempt, a felony.

Christine Distefano does.

She relied on the tried and true Hamptons’ summer benefit circuit for a while, but she is anything but a schmoozer.

“I’m not a people person. People who don’t even know me don’t like me,” she said with a laugh. “I don’t do drama.”

Still, they dare to dream. “Ideally we’d like 40 acres” she said wistfully.

Then she could unite the horses spread out in five East End locations and build a barn.

Visit the website at amaryllisfarm.com. There is also a summer camps for kids that has become quite popular. It’s a hands-on farm experience and offers the campers real interaction with Mother Nature. More info is at amaryllisfarm. blogspot.com. Christine can be reached at rascal11968@gmail.com.

They survive through the generosity of other horse lovers, who donate the use of barns and stalls and give whatever else they can.

Distefano singled out the veterinarian Nora Kleps. “She’s been great.

Sometimes the medical bills have to wait. You can’t put off feeding them.”

The frigid winter was problematic without a barn. “We had blankets on them, some four or five.

They huddled into their sheds. They made do.”

“This is for the horses,” Distefano said matter-of-factly. “The more money we can raise the more we can do.”

In Carol’s Name If you spent any time, any time at all, in East Hampton Town Hall during the 80s and 90s, you’d know Carol Morrison. An ardent environmentalist, and a petite powerhouse who pulled no punches, she was a force to be reckoned with, a constant advocate for open space, and played an integral role in the preservation of Hither Woods and Shadmore State Park.

A resident of Montauk for decades and one time president of the Concerned Citizens Of Montauk, Morrison passed away at the age of 90 in 2010.

Her legacy won’t be forgotten.

This afternoon at 4:15 PM the Montauk School will dedicate its greenhouse to her. Under Morrison’s leadership, CCOM donated $10,000 to the school to refurbish the greenhouse; she saw it as a laboratory for learning and teaching kids to care about and protect the natural world.

According to a CCOM release announcing the dedication, “The greenhouse is a metaphor for the spirit of Carol Morrison and all she did with children. She was a passionate advocate for children’s education and helped found Third House Nature Center Inc. The School and CCOM are embarking on ambitious new plans for expanding the use of the greenhouse with the help and support of Third House Nature Center Inc. and the Community Garden, along with parents, teachers, and others.”

There will be a brief ceremony, with remarks by Principal Jack Perna and CCOM Executive Director Jeremy Samuelson, followed by a meeting of Edible School Gardens. All are welcome to attend.

RICK’S SPACE The Shingles Of My Youth My friend Artie called the other day.

“You need a shot of Zostavax,” he said pointedly.

“Wh . . . wh . . . why? What have you heard about me?” I stammered.

“You had chickenpox as a kid, right?” Actually I did but I didn’t admit it.

“Those are acne scars on my face,” I told him.

“You’re lucky.” Then he told me he had shingles.

“I have aluminum siding,” I said.

Shingles is one of those diseases I’ve never quite been sure about. Like gout. As far as I can tell if you eat a lot of butter you get gout, which means you walk very gingerly. It’s kind of like a bunion. It would seem to me all French people should have gout because all they do is eat food drenched in butter sauce.

Anyhow, I started thinking about shingles. I had chickenpox when I was

a kid. All I remember for sure was my mom telling me not to pick at the scabs. (Mothers are always putting a damper on things.)

I could never differentiate between measles and chickenpox. Measles also caused unsightly pimples you weren’t allowed to pick at. The only real difference is I remember my mother warning that pregnant women could get really sick if they contracted measles – like I cared. I was a 10-year-old boy.

For the record, shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox.

After you’ve had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain.

“Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles.”

This is scary stuff.

“Pssst – don’t WAKE UP the shingles virus!!!!”

I told Karen about shingles and

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

she scoffed at me. She basically said with my big mouth it would be impossible for anything to sleep for 40-plus years around me.

What do shingles do to you? I’m relieved and happy to report they do not cause bunions – Buster Brown shoes do. What you get is a painful rash with blisters, much like Poison Ivy, which you get from listening to pompous fools from Yale pontificate about inane subjects like art and politics.

Ok, Ok I know – you’re dying to learn more about gout. For your information, gout is a complex form of arthritis. So there. (What is arthritis? I have no freaking idea.)

“Gout is characterized . . . by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness and tenderness in joints, often the joint at the base of the big toe. The affected joint is hot and so tender that even the weight of the sheet on it may seem intolerable.”

Clearly then, we see that gout is a carefully engineered attack on your big toe, possibly orchestrated by someone you kicked once, maybe even 40-plus years ago. The gout slept silently in your body, waiting for the moment your big toe was at its most vulnerable, and then ZAP — surprise attack.

“An acute attack of gout can wake you up in the middle of the night with the sensation that your big toe is on fire.”

If this happens call your local volunteer fire department and the

IN THE NEWS

guys will come extinguish your toe and use their axes to cut off those annoying bunions while they are down there.

Before we end this lesson let’s learn more about bunions.

According to a journal published by the Mayo Clinic – and I am not making this up, smaller bunions called bunionettes can develop on the joint of your little toes. These are like cheerleaders that lead the grown-up bunions onto your other toes. They often carry a baton and where tutulike skirts, but I digress.

“Bunions can also develop as a result of an inherited structural defect.” This is interesting, because my Uncle Harry had perhaps the ugliest nose I’ve ever seen in my life and I swear to god if I get a bunion because of Honker (yes, that’s what everyone called him) I’ll be really pissed off.

I’m worried sick about those shingles lying in nerve tissue near my brain. I’m afraid it will compromise all of this medical knowledge I have accumulated over the years.

I know that arthritis is “a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints.”

Crap, I have that for sure. I don’t need Zostavax, though – I need a double dose of Viagra Falls.

Next week, everything you want to know about sebaceous cysts, their relationship to mayonnaise, and why you shouldn’t pick at them.

Big Brother Is Watching The advances in modern day technology are so innovative and striking that it is hard for many of us to keep up with the latest breakthroughs. Imagine if our founding fathers could see us now!

There is a healthy debate ranging, however, and both sides make good points.

When is enough enough?

Certainly, the specter of Big Brother looms ever larger. A recent discussion at a local town board meeting centered on whether or not to purchase portable speed monitoring signs – they could be placed by schools, for example. The devices, we are told, are equipped with “camera and data collection” equipment.

More and more, our every move is monitored by video surveillance, and Internet providers chart our every online activity. They know what we like, what we buy, how old we are, whether we are married, what religion we are, and probably a lot more about us than they care to admit.

To the Editor, George Demos is blowing smoke again, accusing Lee Zeldin of supporting the SAFE Act. But as a New York State Senator, Zeldin voted against the SAFE Act - you can look it up.

Unfortunately, this meaningless and useless law passed, and so its implementation must be funded as part of the state budget. Zeldin voted for the overall budget, not for the SAFE Act. There’s a good reason why George Demos keeps trying to cloud the issues he can’t run on his own resume. I urge my fellow Republicans and Conservatives to ignore Demos’ nonsense and focus on the real issue - Tim Bishop. Bishop has voted for ObamaCare, ObamaCore, and insane spending increases, and he has ignored

Yes, the traffic is annoying, as is waiting for a seat at the movies and restaurants, or trying to find a parking space at a local beach.

Patience is needed. Our beleaguered merchants, stymied by winter snow, welcome the crowds. The community depends on the summer swarm. The real estate industry is fueled by it. Landscapers, swimming pool contractors, and the like employ our neighbors and friends. The economy churns, if only for a few blissful months.

Everyone take a deep breath. As the temperatures heat up, it’s time to chill out. your competition after a deadly “blood bath” in a primary fight.

This has become so deadly . . . as a political fight, it tends to make Mr. Bishop, look like an altar boy by comparison.

This rebel (Demos) making all these charges, has received millions in campaign contributions from his “oh so friendly father-in law,” who just happens to be a staunch supporter of Hillary, Billy Boy, and the flower of the Liberal Party, none other than Nancy Pelosi.

And to add insult to injury, additional California Democrats are funding him as well? Hmmm? Makes you kind of wonder, what’s in it for them when he wins again?

Think about this folks, for just one minute: why would anyone be writing big checks to fund a primary race in a state on the other side of the country? Is there a really deep hidden motive for it? Is anyone buying this crap?

Well, I’m not so sure any more, for scandal after scandal is rocking Washington and still the American voter is silent on demanding full investigations into these matters.

Can they make up for this loss by charging $9 for a hamburger? Absurd!

Good economic principles show that when confronted with extraordinary expenses for people performing ordinary jobs, automation is quick to follow, eliminating most of these jobs. As examples, take the pay at the pump in gas stations and the automatic check out lanes in supermarkets.

Need I say more?

Many of us worked at these jobs as interim measures while paying our way through school, or supplementing the income from our first job.

We knew these menial jobs were just that, and were only supposed to be a spring board while bettering ourselves by continuing education and working hard to pave the way for a better paying job.

The president and some of his illinformed advisors should spend their time in re-training of unskilled workers and promoting continued affordable education for the citizens of our country who seek to better themselves and be proud of standing on their own two feet.

Independent VOICES

Continued from page 32.

People who espouse these beliefs are failures in one or more facets of life.

They are uneducated or undereducated, might have been abused when younger, might have significant marriage or family problems, or have not been successful in the world, or think they can say or do anything because of their presumptive power.

The common trait of the bigots is they have some form of jealousy for the success of people they hate. Their bigotry makes them feel more important by putting down other people.

Although we continue to have some bigotry in this country, things have improved, and it is less prevalent compared

to many other countries in the world.

However, we have to continue to eliminate discrimination and bigotry in matters of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, weaknesses and disabilities.

This is everyone’s responsibility. Bigots should be ferreted out and ostracized from civil society.

DONALD A. MOSKOWITZ

Cries For Facts Dear Mr. Murphy, To paraquote one of your letter writers, it is, “vastly entertaining to me” watching the tortuous effort by some, to rub off onto themselves a little of the gilt, (by association) of the ubers they so desperately try to delusion-ize themselves as being one with. The writer cries for facts as does a women writer or two who just can’t see how their political party of choice belittles them by voting against

Southampton Hospital has launched a new pet therapy program to enhance patient care.

The program is run by Angel on a Leash, an organization that promotes the role of the humananimal bond in enhancing human health and quality of life. Dogs and their handlers are certified through Pet Partners, a nonprofit organization that trains animals and handlers for assisted therapy programs nationwide.

Volunteer Jane May brought the program to Southampton Hospital after seeing first-hand the positive impact that pet therapy can have on patients. She and her Golden Retriever Poodle mix, Dipsy Doodle, volunteer at a hospital in New York. “I live on the East End part time and thought we could help fill a void here,” she said, “so I worked closely with Southampton Hospital staff to make it happen.”

To recruit additional volunteers, Southampton Hospital, Angel on a Leash, and Pet Partners are co-hosting a handler-only, full day workshop on Saturday, May 31. This is the first step to becoming a certified pet therapy team. The cost is $100, which includes a handbook, lunch, handouts, snacks, and beverages. Pre-registration and payment is required. Interested volunteers should contact Greer Griffith of Angel on a Leash at 646-259-3811 or greer@angelonaleash.org.

May and Dipsy Doodle now visit Southampton Hospital patients once a week. “Doctor Dipsy” is uniformed in a special vest embroidered with the hospital’s logo, custom-made as a donation from Rose Diaz of Stitch in Southampton. Hospital volunteers coordinate patient visits with the nursing staff on medical-surgical and telemetry floors, pre-identifying patients for a visit with the therapy dog team. “The patients really benefit from a visit with Dipsy,” says Southampton Hospital Chief Nursing Officer Pat Darcey, “and our staff members love her too.”

“Spending time with animals has been shown to improve physical health such as lowering blood pressure and diminishing the perception of pain, but animals can also benefit a patient’s mental health by lessening depression, lowering anxiety, and providing a general sense of comfort,” says Southampton Hospital Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Fredric Weinbaum. “I know I always feel rejuvenated after a visit with Dipsy.”

Utilities included. Call 631907-4568.

Tuckahoe School The Tuckahoe Student Council would like to invite ALL veterans and active military personnel to join us for a light lunch and presentation Friday at 12:45 PM. Following this lunch our Pre-K and Kindergarten students will be performing a few songs for our special guests.

On May 12th Elementary Science Coordinator Jennifer Pascual took

Mrs. Voegel and Mrs. Collins’ third grade classes on a science exploration at the Sebonack Golf Club. The students were able to compare and contrast crayfish habitats. Students observed a natural crayfish habitat and took notes in their journals to use for further comparison to their in-class crayfish habitats.

Third graders also collected

various samples and used the metric measurement skills they have been working on throughout the year to estimate and measure the length, width and mass of their objects. Last Wednesday Tuckahoe’s National Junior Honor Society students went to New York City to see the show, “Wicked.”

Friday our sixth grade class went to the Long Island Science Center to learn to build Balloon Powered Vehicles.

Mrs. Sicari and Mrs. Gray’s 6th graders will build their very own vehicle powered by a balloon motor.

Using the concept of Newton’s

May 21, 2014

2nd Law of Motion these students will also design, hypothesize, build and test their vehicle. The object is to build a vehicle that rolls both straight and far.

Support Tuckahoe’s Relay for Life Team. Fight back cancer and have some fun! Tuckahoe’s Relay for Life Team will be having the following fundraisers: a Chinese Auction on Friday 7:00 PM at Southampton High School. For further information, please contact Justine Charos at 631-283-3550 ext. 112 or our school nurse, Wendy Meyer at ext. 313. Our Spring Concert tomorrow at 6:30 PM is for grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

now, Doppio’s offerings will include a raw bar, pasta dishes, small plates, and brick oven pizzas.

The original Doppio Artisan Bistro opened in Greenwich, Connecticut three years ago, with Doppio Huntington opening in April 2013 and a French bistro, Barrique Restaurant joining the family in Stamford, Connecticut two months later. The team also welcomed Doppio NYC, which opened in January.

According to General Manager Claudio Sottile, the restaurant will start out serving just dinner, with a “very soft opening this week,” and be ready to go by Memorial Day. Moving a few miles west, in Bridgehampton, Round Swamp Farm is gearing up for a new season in a second location. The Three Mile Harbor Road staple was slated to open in the heart of Bridgehampton Village this past weekend.

Find Round Swamp Farm Market & Bakeshop in the village parking lot at 97 School Street (behind the Candy Kitchen).

Feel free to stop in to pick up some of the farm’s famous homemade cookies, muffins, brownies and desserts. For those with a savory tooth instead, the market will also offer chicken salad, picnic chicken, fresh salads, guacamole, hearty soups, dips and other tasty snacks.

Soul Cycle will participate in a launch of new ready-to-wear workout clothing line from designer Ramy Brook this weekend. The Bridgehampton location will participate in the launch this Saturday at 264 Butter Lane. Cyclists will be able to shop the collection, enjoy complimentary juices and meet Ramy. Email Jessica Nadaud at jnadaud@laforce-stevens.com for further details.

Play Bridge North’s 3H bid is a cue bid showing a limit raise in spades.

South accepts North’s invitation and bids a game in spades. Many declarers went astray when this hand was played recently in a duplicate game held at the East Hampton Duplicate Bridge Club.

West led the king of hearts and continued with the ace when he saw the doubleton queen in dummy.

When West led a third heart, most declarers trumped in dummy with the five. East played the spade eight and South could not avoid an eventual club loser for down one.

Even if South had trumped with the king, he was doomed to lose a trump trick and an eventual club trick for down one.

The winning line of play is to make a loser-on loser play at the third trick. Instead of trying to win the third trick, South should discard the two of clubs from dummy. He wins the next trick, draws trumps and now can trump his third club in dummy.

News From Albany Assemblyman Fred Thiele announced this week that the New York State Assembly has passed a bill (A.7558-A) he co-sponsored which would protect licensed physicians who prescribe long-term antibiotic therapy for Lyme disease from disciplinary action by the New York State Board of Professional Medical Conduct solely for prescribing, administering, or dispensing such treatment.

Throughout New York and the East End of Long Island, there has been a dramatic increase in Lyme Disease cases. Due to the nature of the disease, Lyme Disease is a complicated illness to treat as well as to properly test for, as symptoms vary from patient to patient, a release from Thiele states. In fact some physicians have received disciplinary actions from the New York State Board of Professional Medical Conduct for providing treatment to patients who have shown symptoms of Lyme Disease but whose tests have come back negative.

This bill would protect health care professionals with the authority to prescribe medication from disciplinary action against solely for prescribing, administering or dispensing long-term antibiotic therapy to a patient clinically diagnosed with Lyme Disease.

Assemblyman Thiele noted, “The extent and severity of the Lyme disease cases on the East End has escalated to the point of a public health crisis. Physicians should not be afraid to offer proper treatment.

Early treatment can save lives.”

The Senate version, S.5520-B, is still under the review of the Senate Health Committee.

Also this week, the assemblyman announced the availability of $20.5 million to aid farmland protection efforts and help prevent agricultural land from being converted to non agricultural use. Eligible entities, including municipalities, counties, soil and water conservation districts (SWCD) and not-for-profit conservation organizations/land trusts, can apply for individual grants under the Round 13 Farmland Protection Implementation Grants Request for Proposals (RFP).

Funding is available through the New York State Environmental Protection Fund and administered by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.

The Department of Agriculture and Markets anticipates that an

even greater number of proposals will be submitted this year because the grant has not been offered by New York State for several years.

Additionally, revisions to state law have increased the state contribution to a maximum of 87.5 percent (up from 75 percent) and also expanded the number of entities now eligible to apply directly for these funds - adding land trusts and SWCDs. This RFP will enable eligible

www.indyeastend.com

entities to help landowners protect at-risk farmland through the use of permanent conservation easements or incentive payment agreements.

Although the vast majority of the funding will go to permanent easements, the incentive payment agreements are being offered for the first time under this program, and will allow eligible entities to make multi-year commitments to landowners, at least five but no more than ten.

The eligible entities would then work with the landowners to seek other funding arrangements to effectively create a perpetual conservation easement on these

lands. Also known as “lease of development rights,” this particular tool has been identified in municipal agricultural and farmland protection plans adopted across New York. Up to $2 million under the RFP will be available for this new type of project.

Application materials and important webinar information for the Round 13 Farmland Protection Implementation Grants RFP are available for download on the Department of Agriculture and Markets website. Application materials are also available by calling the Department directly at 1-800-554-4501.

Harmony &

your Health

by Erin Dunscomb

The Mighty Moon Energy Of May Our hands were clasped high overhead, “ram, ram, ram, ram,” we pulled sun energy from the sky down through our arms. High up in the treetops of Sagaponack, in a peaceful space adorned in white, I was engaged in a powerful call and response among wonderful women on the night of the Wesak full moon.

If you’re curious, Wesak is a celebration of Buddha’s birth held in the Wesak Valley of the Himalayas at the time of May’s full moon. It is said that this is the strongest full moon of the year.

Megan Chaskey (mchaskey@ gmail.com), leads this Kundalini yoga class every Wednesday evening.

Among other benefits, Kundalini yoga focuses on healing the energy body as well as on manifestation; both of these are near and dear to my heart and way of life. How blessed I was to find myself in the perfect place at the perfect time.

I met Megan a couple of weeks ago, having recently relocated to the area. So, this was my first time in class and I hadn’t known that we would be practicing Kundalini.

REAL ESTATE

Towards the end of class, Megan said “The moon reflects the energy and light of the sun back out into the world, now you can take the sun energy you have gained from class and reflect it out into your world.” This resonated with me deeply. After over an hour of healing (strengthening my aura and balancing the nervous system among other things), I felt rejuvenated, ready to shine, and ready to serve.

Each month I am conscious of the cycles of the moon. I dream and set my intentions during the new moon phase and then take action and celebrate the fruits of my labor at the full moon. By this time, I am ready to see what the nurturing, feminine, creative energy has produced. What seeds have I sown? Where did I veer off course?

We all get busy and distracted from our goals and it’s this cycle that repeats each month that often brings me back to them.

One of the mantras in class expressed that everything is truth.

At first I was a little stumped, what about what isn’t true? Of course discernment is valuable.

It was explained to me that the trees are budding in spring and dormant in winter -- this is truth.

My thoughts went back to cycles.Of course! It’s so easy and crystal clear.

The same cycles we see in our own lives and nature we can see in every detail -- projects, relationships, events.

I’m overflowing with excitement and anticipation thinking of all the sun energy I will absorb and reflect and shine forth in the coming months. I’m starting anew in many ways. My mission is to connect with and create community.

To offer healing work and to bring Energy Medicine more and more into its place in healthcare.

To bring it into the mainstream consciousness, empowering people when it comes to their health and well being.

How might you absorb the creative energy of the next full moon and nurture your own path and desires? Tuning in to this cycle will always bring you back to truth.

SPORTS Hurricanes Hanging On, Pierson Rests INDEPENDENT

By Rick Murphy

The Westhampton Hurricanes are alive and well, thank you, at least as of this writing.

Last Wednesday the locals beat Islip in the most dramatic fashion. After getting no-hit for most of the game, the Hurricanes manufactured a run in the seventh inning when Dan McEvoy singled, stole second and third and scored on an errant throw.

That was all Brett Pisaneschi needed. He hurled a complete game shutout, allowing only three hits while striking out 10. The final

was 1-0.

The win earned the Hurricanes a berth in the Class A winner’s bracket two days later but alas, the top seed, Shoreham/Wading River, eked out a 4-3 win, sending Westhampton back to the losers’ bracket – this is a double-elimination tournament, by the way.

As of press time, the “A” bracket will pit top seed Shoreham/Wading River versus second seed Bayport in one semifinal game.

The winner will advance to the final against one of four teams that

emerge from the losers’ bracket: Westhampton Beach (11-11), Rocky Point, Islip, and Harborfields. The championship series will begin Tuesday at the site of the highest remaining seed.

Pierson/Bridgehampton (13-3) doesn’t have to worry about such trivial matters: the Whalers are in the State Class C playoffs and have earned the Suffolk County Class C Championship. Next up is a date at Dowling College June 6 against an opponent to be determined.

The Suffolk County girls’ softball

tournament was set to get underway yesterday. In Class B, fourth seed Mercy (9-9) traveled to Center Moriches. Babylon was to take on second seed Hampton Bays (15-3).

The winners square off today at the site of the highest seed; the losers of the opening games square off as well.

Forgive the Pierson/ Bridgehampton Lady Whalers (13-5) if they take a little snooze. The locals don’t play again until June 7, when they take on an opponent yet to be determined at St. Josephs College in Patchogue.

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 under way, with most of the major host sites beginning to schedule drafts.

Most purists think it’s too early, and many others 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, and Ahmad Bradshaw, 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 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 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

www.indyeastend.com

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. But in point per reception leagues, backs that catch a lot of passes – think Matt Forte – may be even more valuable.

I normally wouldn’t take a wide receiver in the first round but Calvin Johnson broke the mold, and now there are several WRs that warrant an early look.

Let’s not forget Fantasy baseball.

The rule of thumb is to be patient until Memorial Day: If your team isn’t performing well, it’s time to start making changes. Trade from strength – move some of your overachieving players, and target veterans who do it every year but happen to be off to slow starts – they’ll come around.

Mets Disservice To Juan Lagares For several years the Sandy Alderson regime has been touting the future, and the bright young players that are throughout the organization.

It appears the plan for “next year” has been pushed back a year due to ace Matt Harvey undergoing Tommy John surgery. So while this season becomes another in the long list of “building to the future,” why is center fielder Juan Lagares sitting on the bench?

During a five game stretch last week, Lagares did not start in four.

When he returned to the lineup Saturday, he promptly hit a home run, drove in three runs, and robbed Jayson Werth of a home run. It was the best way for Lagares to stick it to the organization.

As we know, with Lagares, Curtis Granderson, Eric Young Jr., and Chris Young, the Mets outfield is too crowded. When questioned about benching Lagares, manager Terry

Collins gave every excuse in the book: rest, more offense needed, shared playing time. Frankly, there is no answer that Collins could provide that would justify Lagares not being in the starting line up every day.

For the first quarter of the season he has been the team’s best allaround player. Lagares has played a gold glove center field, batted .305 with an on-base percentage of .345 (both second best on the team) and is third on the team with 49 total bases (stats as of Sunday).

As for Lagares’ competition, he’s not exactly trying to crack the Cleveland Indians outfield of the mid-90s, which featured Manny Ramirez, Albert Belle and Kenny Lofton.

Granderson was brought in on a four-year/$60 million deal, and is batting .192, a .292 on-base percentage, with five home runs.

Young signed a one-year, $7.25 million contract and has a .211

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

batting average, with an on base of .279. Young Jr. is only batting .221, but is getting on base at a .310 clip, and leads the team with 15 stolen bases.

Lagares is 25 years old, the youngest of the four, has delivered the most consistent production offensively and defensively this season, and is a homegrown talent.

But, I believe this squeeze out on Lagares is being caused by the contract of Young. He was signed to a one-year deal, which was theoretically a chance for him to have a bounce back season with the Mets, to then get back on the open market next offseason and land a multi-year pact.

I don’t know whether that might have been a “gentleman’s agreement” between Alderson and Young’s agent, or possibly something more. But there is no baseball-related explanation for Young playing over Lagares.

Despite his struggles, the

IN THE NEWS

Mets have four years invested in Granderson, and he must remain in the line up to work out of his slow start. Young Jr., remains the only legitimate option at leadoff, and is also, by far, the team’s best base stealer.

If the Mets are putting monetary commitments ahead of the best short and long-term options for the team, then shame on Fred and Jeff Wilpon, Sandy Alderson, Terry Collins and everyone in between.

The Mets don’t have a long history of home grown stars, and fans are rightfully clamoring to see whether or not Lagares can join that exclusive club. Another sad and disappointing situation developing in Flushing; and we sure have had enough of those over the past few years.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

Life Jackets Save Lives – Yours!

For many years, we referred to life jackets as “PFD’s” – Personal Flotation Devices. Jeesh, can the lawyers get over it? OK, not everyone in a life jacket survives. Roughly only 15 out of 16. Conversely, if 16 go in the water without a life jacket, only one guy comes out. The other 15 died. Life jackets save lives. This column is about that.

The Statistics Boaters end up in the water for a variety of reasons, but the two largest – capsizes and falls overboard – comprise nearly 60 percent of all fatalities.

Let me rephrase that. A fatality is a death – let’s not mince words like “PFDs.” Remember, for every 16 boaters that go into the water without a life jacket, only one comes out. The other 15 died.

But you are experienced. Well, another statistic I’ve seen is this: boaters who have over 100 hours of boating experience and are 35 or older and who have NOT

taken a formal boating safety class account for over half of all boating accidents. Oh, they are also responsible for over half the fatalities – deaths – too.

If you haven’t taken a boating safety class yet, or haven’t taken one in a long time, email me below and I will help you find one in your neighborhood.

And, if you have been smart enough to take a boating safety class, remember this. You’re not alone out there.

30-Second Life Saving Skill Unless you had your life jacket on when you went into the “drink,” you’re not getting it on.

Unless you try this idea, which I thank friend and colleague Captain John Konrad for detailing . . .

It’s easy to don (put on) a life jacket or inflatable vest in the cabin or cockpit. Just like a coat, you stick one arm through a hole; swing the jacket around your back; then stick your other arm through the other hole.

However, this sequence of actions will be impossible to duplicate in the water.

Most of your body will be submerged with just your head and shoulders exposed above the sea surface. You must use a simple, little-known method to don any life jacket in the water.

Practice this important skill in the comfort of your home. Train your crew. After two to three minutes of practice, most folks can do this in less than 30 seconds.

Follow these five easy steps.

1. Grab the collar of the life jacket. Pull the life jacket close to you. Turn the jacket so that it floats with the front pointed toward the sky. Unclip all snaps and straps.

2. Open the life jacket all the way so that it lies almost flat on the water surface. Keep the collar close to you.

3. Thrust each arm as far as possible through each armhole.

4. Raise both arms in a smooth, fast motion above your head and slightly back.

5. Fasten all snaps and straps.

Practice this at home: Kneel down next to a table about chin height.

Place the life jacket on top of the table.

Practice until you can complete all steps within 30 seconds.

Train your sailing crew.

IN THE NEWS

came upon a family fishing in an open boat. It looked like there were children aboard and further we couldn’t see any with life jackets on.

As we approached, I heard the grandfather say to one of the kids, “Get down, the Coast Guard is coming!” Unfortunately for grandpa, sound travels well over the water and I heard it at the helm. As we came alongside, I gave the wheel to one of my crew and walked up to where our boats were closest together. All I said to grandpa was, “You ought to be ashamed of yourself.”

We watched, without another word, as all the children put their life jackets on.

What To Wear By Whom?

USCG regulations require a life jacket aboard for everyone aboard unless they are under 13 years old.

Then they have to be worn. But didn’t I make the point above that if you do fall overboard and you don’t have one on, it is pretty unlikely you’ll be able to get into one? Isn’t it too late then? Yes, yes, yes! So why only have the kids wear it?

And all those kids, seeing dad not wearing one, are saying to themselves, “I can’t wait until I’m old enough not to wear one.” What a lesson you’re teaching, skipper.

I’ll tell you a story that ought to bring the point home. One fine day while patrolling Moriches Bay, we

Oh They Are So Bulky!

Come on, bunky, are you still using the ones from the Titanic?

Modern life jackets come in many sizes, many colors and are as light as a feather. You can get them in “camo” mode for hunting; you can get ones that self-inflate if you do fall in; you can get them in matching colors!

You can even get children’s style that have a loop at the collar so you can scoop them up, one-two-three, if the tyke falls in! And don’t forget one for the old sea dog – and his pet.

BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources department, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing.”

blues find it. Plenty of bunker up in the Peconic River, too.

Continued from page 59.

There were a few keeper sized fish taken from both Ponquogue Bridge and the Shinnecock Canal on the night tides. Guys targeting the canal have seen quite a few short fluke, bluefish, a few bass and weakfish, and plenty of sea robins. Some of the back bay areas of the Peconics are still holding schoolies bass.

Over in the Quogue Canal the bunker are holding strong, best bet is to live line one and send it out and hope a bass grabs it before the
