Lone Star Larvae An Increasing Menace By Rick Murphy
Ticks have plagued East Enders for decades, but the most prevalent nowadays, the Lone Star Tick, has the potential to be the most dangerous of them all. In fact, its larvae are capable of causing a lethal reaction in the most severe cases. Five years ago The Independent reported what at the time was a unique story – a local man developed a severe allergy to meat after he was infested by Lone Star tick nymphs at Cedar Point Park in East Hampton. Ivan Peill began experiencing allergic reactions about six hours after he ate a meal – it took some time to determine he had developed an allergy to red meat. A study at the
University of Virginia confirmed his suspicions. Dr. Scott Commins from UVA said this week that the situation has gotten much worse over the last five years, on the East End and in other parts of the country. For one, Lone Stars move very quickly. They also “lay up to 1000 eggs at a time” called “seed ticks,” which resemble poppy seeds, Commins said. The seed packs are normally on leafy substances, and not in the deep forest – rather, they are left in populated areas. “They need a blood meal before they will molt,” he added. Many naturalists and scientists believed field mice were one of the

many hosts the ticks preyed on. Not the Lone Star, however. “With other types of ticks we use a mouse model but apparently mice are not a natural host for these,” Commins said. Deer most assuredly are, however, and the rise in infestations might be directly tied to an increase in the deer population in these parts. “It could be that it’s more prevalent because people are getting out more, but it could be the deer population is driving this,” Commins said. “They are becoming bolder, so they are bringing the ticks closer to us.” His colleague, allergy researcher Thomas Platts-Mills of UVA, agreed the increasing number of cases is probably a result of the

large numbers of larvae and their proximity to humans. “[The Lone Star] larval forms will bite humans, whereas none of the other American tick larvae will do that,” he said. The lone bit of good news is the allergy will fade over time, Commins said – provided the victim isn’t bitten again. ”Any additional bite raises the level and the allergy returns.” As many locals have learned the hard way, an allergic reaction to meat isn’t the only thing to worry about. People have developed hives, cramps, wheezing, rash, and swelling after being bitten – and no one is sure of the long-term affects. Long Island isn’t the only place dealing with the epidemic. Last November at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), it was revealed the Lone Star tick is spreading across the southern part of the country, and bringing the meat allergy with it, and has also been diagnosed in Maine. Allergist Stanley Fineman, M.D., the ACAAI president, explained that Alpha-gal is a sugar carbohydrate found in red meats such as beef, pork and lamb. “Blood levels of antibodies for alpha-gal in the human body can rise after a single bite from the lone-star tick,” he reported. “This can result in allergic symptoms which are usually delayed after meat ingestion and may present as mild hives but may also be a severe, potentially deadly reaction known as anaphylaxis.” According to the Center For Disease Control, Lone Star ticks usually do not carry Lyme disease, though the trademark circular rash may form. Insect repellents like DEET or permethrin are effective preventives, but on a larger scale, Commins said, “it may be if you address the deer issue you’re addressing your tick problem.”

HANDCUFFING OUR POLICE Nicky LaRusso’s* mother said her son was innocent. It didn’t quite matter what the charge was – this tiny woman (who came from the same part of Naples as my mom) always had the same answer, “He’s innocent.” “The police pick on him. He’s a good boy,” she would say. She was an honest woman who couldn’t bring herself to believe her little boy was, from the age of 10, a walking time bomb. Mrs. LaRusso worked in a sweatshop a few blocks away from my house, where she sewed dolls’ clothes for a lot less than the pitiful minimum wage of that time. Every
few months she would pass in front of the house and stop to tell my mom and grandmother her latest spin on her son’s problems with the law. Nicky was my age and was in my class at PS 95 from kindergarten to the sixth grade. He was as close to being a Neanderthal as anyone I’ve ever known. In the sixth grade I remember our teacher, Mrs. Rossman, telling each student their scores from an IQ test. (It wasn’t exactly an era of great sensitivity towards students’ feelings.) When she got to Nicky she said,
CARNIVAL
REAL ESTATE
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
“Nicholas, your IQ score is 87.” I remember that Nicky broke into a big smile and proudly said, “That’s the first time I ever got an 80 in any subject.” Eighty-seven IQ and all, Nicky was always an innocent in the eyes of his mother. Nicky was “innocent” when he broke into a grocery store at the age of 12 and got caught red-handed by the police. Nicky was “innocent” when he and some other punks looted a boat that was docked in Sheepshead Bay. Nicky was “innocent” when he got involved with a gang that beat up drivers and hijacked their trucks. Despite his IQ triumph, Nicky dropped out of school when he reached 16. The next time I heard about him was on the pages of The Daily News. Nicky and two accomplices had been interrupted by two detectives while they were holding up a tobacco distributor in the Fort Hamilton section of Brooklyn. Nicky pretended to surrender. Then he pulled out a gun and shot both detectives to death. I believe one of the detectives left three children under the age of 10. Nicky’s mother still came around and told anyone who would listen that her son was “innocent.” The police were “picking” on him again. With stop-and-frisk, these days I’m reading about the police “picking” on a lot of “innocent” people, just like Nicky. I’m watching the finest police force in the country being decimated by disgusting politicians who are as dangerous as Nicky, and who unfortunately are not as innocent as Nicky’s mother.

I’m saddened to see those people who suffer the most from punks armed with guns, our black and Latino citizens, listening to those in their community who want to put an end to stop-and-frisk. Whether you realize it or not, dear reader, New York City is in trouble. Just read the newspapers. A 16-year-old African-American boy pulls a gun and an innocent little five-year-old African-American girl falls down dead with a bullet to her tiny head. And with the drugs and the violence in our society comes a certain type of perpetrator, one who is not afraid to pull the trigger and kill or maim a police officer who is trying to stop him. The criminals have their lawyers and their lawsuits and their soft juries and a bumbling justice system on their side. The police have no one. No one except you and me. And this is the time for us to stand up and be counted. The time to come to the aid of our police is not when we’re attending a funeral of an officer who died in the line of duty. The time is now. This is the time for people to come forward and express their respect and support for the men and women who make up some of the finest police departments in the country, whether it’s in New York City or East Hampton. This is the time for our civic groups and leading citizens and merchants to add their voices in support of our police. This is the time for those people who obey the law to show that they are in the overwhelming majority and renounce the professional cophaters who are attacking the force and the system. This is the time for the good people to help defeat a pandering politician like Christine Quinn before she destroys the city. Ms. Quinn wants to put the New York City police force under her chubby thumb. If she succeeds in doing this, the city will undergo a period of lawlessness that will turn New York City into Chicago. They don’t have stop-and-frisk in Chicago. They have murder and mayhem. This is the time. In this day and age, it may not be the politically correct thing to do. But quite simply, it’s the right thing to do. *Nicky LaRusso is not his real name. He died in prison in the 1970s. I changed the name to protect his family, who are innocent and have suffered enough.

Probers: Casale Lied About Scandal Timeline By Rick Murphy
Springs School principal Eric Casale told Springs School board members a whopper when he tried to explain away a cheating scandal that ended his career in New York City. Casale was also less than truthful in a letter to the community dated on May 19 in response to allegations published in this newspaper. Casale claimed he notified his superintendent as soon as allegations of a cheating scandal at his former school surfaced. However, minutes of an investigation by the NYC Board of Education obtained by The Independent and interviews with insiders directly contradict the time line of events he furnished. Casale was implicated in a cheating scandal when he was principal at PS-91 in the Bronx. He has since been barred from working in the NYC school system after an in depth investigation by the
NYC Board of Education in 2005 concluded he repeatedly lied to investigators about his knowledge of a cheating scandal that took place in 2004, covered it up, and destroyed evidence. In fact, testimony gathered by the Chancellor’s office of Special Investigations reveals Casale engaged in a lengthy coverup to keep higher ups from learning about the extent of the scandal. “A single allegation against me was substantiated by the investigator based largely on the testimony of two staff members: that I had failed to report my knowledge of the testing allegation to the Director of Testing. Of course, I did report it – to my Superintendent of Schools,” Casale wrote in his letter, posted on the Springs School website. However, according to the report, Dorales Ruales, the region One Local Superintendent and Casale’s direct superior, testified that she Continued on Page 35.

Mucci Status Unclear The employment status of Superintendent Dominic Mucci is up in the air. Recently the Springs School Board announced it petitioned the State Education Department for a waiver that will allow Mucci to return to his post in September. A waiver is needed because Mucci, a retired administrator, is drawing a pension. The law for initially hiring a retired administrator is very clear: a waiver can be granted only if “a temporary need exists and a thorough and good faith search for a non-retired individual to fill the position has not yet been successful. All certified non-retired candidates for the position must first be considered.” According to minutes from a Springs School Board meeting in February, “Resumes are being accepted through close of business on February 22, 2012. As of this date there have been 14 applicants. [Board president] Ms. [Kathee] Burke Gonzalez commented that the Board was hopeful that Mr. Mucci would again submit his resume.” This is not permissible under the waiver procedure – the board was supposed to be in the process of replacing Mucci, not encouraging him to stay on. “As of now the school has not submitted documentation” to support hiring Mucci for an additional school year, said Linda Delfs of the State Ed Teacher’s Certification Unit. In fact, Mucci can’t return for another year unless the school can justify it. “The waiver is for up to one year except in instances of demonstrated hardships,” Delfs said. Springs officials would have to prove “unforeseen circumstances” that would justify another term. “His status is null,” Delfs said of Mucci’s waiver application – it will not be ruled on until the school furnishes documentation as to why it can’t hire any other candidate from the ranks of non-retired applicants and what “hardship” the district would suffer if Mucci wasn’t granted a waiver. He works part-time. R.M.

Sustainability Plan Under Review By Rick Murphy and Emily Toy
A sustainability plan was on the dais for the Southampton Town Board last Thursday morning, an issue that has been under review, and in some cases scrutiny, for months. Since its inception in 2008, the Sustainable Southampton Advisory Committee has been tasked with developing sustainable strategies for the town and its citizens. It is also responsible for protecting the abundance of natural resources and retaining Southampton’s agricultural heritage and place as a world-class resort destination. “Prioritizing goals, suggesting programs, and recommending p o l i c y, l e g i s l a t i o n a n d c o d e amendments that encourage and contribute to sustainability with a concentrated focus on the reduction of the Town’s ecological impact/ footprint,” is what SSAC, also known as the Green Committee, is actively engaged in. “Sustainability is a conversation and an evolving vision of the earth and sky,” said Scott Carlin, Chair of the Green Committee. “The proposed plan offers a mix of short and long term recommendations.”
Ann Reisman, a member of the promote the transfer of private SSAC and supporter of the plan, said development rights. Concern has it’s defined with four principals: arisen over whether or not the emphasize sustainable education, plan would be an infringement encourage transparency in the on the rights of private property town with community involvement, ownership. Over the past few months, promote a triple bottom line approach to legislation, policy, citizens expressed concern with the environmental, economic and social new plan, fearing that many aspects aspects, and maintain the flexibility of life in Southampton would fall of the plan to be fleshed out by the under the regulation of various town agencies in conjunction with community. Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst non-accountable non-governmental said the latest discussion on organizations’ input and federal sustainability was a response to mandates and incentives. Recommendations within “all the questions we’ve been asked.” For some Southampton residents, the plan include the creation of t h e p l a n s e e m s t o b r o a d e n , special water quality improvement PM Page 1 well as 6:04 expedited permit sSMF_Indep_HalfAd_Jun13_SMF_Indep_HalfAd_Jun13 t r e n g t h e n a n d a g g r e s s i v e l y districts as6/20/13

processes for more sustainable businesses. Taxpayers expressed concern in the past on whether or not this would cause an increase in the cost of services. The plan has been deemed somewhat controversial in some quarters because of the Agenda 21, a voluntary worldwide sustainability section plan initiated by the United Nations. Its basic planks are to combat poverty, conserve resources, and to empower youth, women, and minorities. “Some see it is a worldwide conspiracy but it’s nothing of the sort, Throne-Holst said. “This plan was developed and constructed for the Town of Southampton only.” A town board meeting was scheduled for last night, picking up where it was left off at an adjourned meeting back in April.

Massive Gathering Approved By Kitty Merrill
Last Thursday night the East Hampton Town Board approved, in a split vote, what Councilman Do mi n i c k S tan zion e d ee m e d a “super size” mass gathering, expected to bring close to 4000 revelers to Star Island on July 5. Supervisor Bill Wilkinson voted in favor of the so-called “Shark Attack Sounds” party, which will be held under 20 tents on the grounds of the Montauk Yacht Club. He used the recent Willie Nelson concert as testament to the town’s ability to handle a crowd. Officials estimated about 500 people were in attendance at the Surf Lodge to hear Willie, with about 200 more viewing from kayaks on Fort Pond. That’s 700 people compared to the 3900 expected at Shark Attack. Councilwoman Theresa Quigley also voted in the assent. She had no problem with 3900 people on Star Island, since the application had been routed to and reviewed by town department heads including the police and fire marshal. In the face of opposition from colleagues she likened the gathering to the annual Three Mile Harbor fireworks. That’s
a public event and a fundraiser. This is a commercial event, with tickets going for $46 in advance, with food and drink extra. T h e M o n t a u k Ya c h t C l u b , represented by attorney Tom Horn sought approval for a party with music going from 6 PM to 2 AM. Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc looked askance as the late hour of the music, but Wilkinson dismissed it, noting bars across the water like Liar’s Saloon, the Hula Hut, and Swallow East all have music at night. (Hula Hut generally closes shortly after sunset and Swallow’s music wraps up by 9 PM. Karaoke at Liar’s goes until 2 AM on Fridays.) Anyone who rented a room at nearby motels and was hoping to sleep that night “is going to have a problem,” Van Scoyoc predicted. The application is for the largest gathering he’s ever seen, the councilman continued. Wilkinson rebutted, noting the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade brings more people to Montauk. “Not at two o’clock in the morning,” Van Scoyoc replied. Quigley suggested a revision that shuts the music down at 11

The entrance to Star Island. Promoters expect 3900 attendees at a party on the island next week.
PM instead. The changed time was part of the final vote. The application notes attendees will be shuttled to the site from Rita’s Stables, where they will supposedly park their cars. Van Scoyoc and Councilwoman Sylvia Overby, who both voted no, were skeptical about whether that would really occur. How would people with other business on Star Island get through, would the road be closed? Did colleagues really think people wouldn’t try to get to the gathering in their own cars? How was it all going to work, they wanted to know. Wilkinson and Quigley assured them the police would handle it. The website touting “Summer’s Sexiest Party” makes no mention of a shuttle; it lists the party’s address as 32 Star Island Road, the same as the Yacht Club. The application notes on-site parking for 220 cars for staff and 300 VIP guests, and anticipates 800 cars carrying 1750 occupants will park at Rita’s Stables. Another 1500, according to the application, will walk to shuttle buses, with 200 attendees arriving by taxi or limo and another 50 coming by boat. It’s the busiest weekend of the year, when the most people are here, Overby pointed out as discussion continued. The party will give them all something to do, Quigley countered. Before introducing the resolution, Wilkinson made a generic statement about mass gathering permits. Reacting to stories reporting the coming party, he said, “I do not propose all mass gathering permits.” Speaking of himself in the third person, the supervisor continued, “Bill Wilkinson hasn’t said anything about what’s going on on Star Island, I simply have it on the agenda, not because I support it, but because it’s the job of the supervisors to set in motion the vote on resolutions for mass gatherings.” The timing of the process was cause for complaint by Overby, Van Scoyoc and Stanzione. Overby reported that, while a yearlong mass gathering list is kept at town hall,
the Shark Attack request was never on it. The proposal was sprung on the town board the prior Tuesday, and the pressure was on because the elected officials don’t meet again until after the event. Although the application was submitted on June 4, in compliance with the requirement of a 30-day window before the event, board members claim they never learned of it till last week, and were forced to vote without the chance to consider the event thoroughly. Stanzione, who eventually voted to permit the super sized event, repeatedly said he was unhappy with the timing. There were other concerns Overby and Van Scoyoc voiced. Although Wilkinson’s resolution listed the party as a fundraiser for the Montauk Playhouse, Van Scoyoc reported that no details about a donation had been worked out with the Playhouse. “It’s an afterthought,” Overby speculated, noting no mention of raising money for the Playhouse is made in the original application. Her request for more information about the fundraising aspect was met with a shrug from the supervisor. Last year, the annual event was held at Rick’s Crabby Cowboy on East Lake Drive. The mass gathering permit called for 800 attendees; 2500 showed and police had to close the road down for safety’s sake. In 2011, The Independent, Wilkinson and Police Chief Ed Ecker toured post-midnight Montauk during the July 4 weekend. The party at Crabby Cowboy was our first stop at 12:45 AM. One inebriated reveler approached the supervisor’s official town car asking for a ride, while dozens lurched drunkenly up and down the road. On Thursday night, Overby raised a final argument. There’s a “real cost” to the taxpayers for the amount of extra police, and overtime the massive event might prompt. Had the applicants arranged to cover the expense, Stanzione asked. “I have no idea,” replied the supervisor. kmerrill@indyeastend.

Nobody Likes Noise Law By Kitty Merrill
An amendment to the noise ordinance brought a number of speakers to East Hampton Town Hall last Thursday night. No one who spoke during the public hearing embraced the draft zoning code revision, but opposition to adoption came from . . . um . . . opposite ends of the spectrum. Business owners felt it was too strict, while others thought it was too lenient. Attorney Jeff Bragman spoke for the second segment. The current code takes into account ambient noise when gauging whether noise exceeds a certain decibel level. Under the proposal, ambient noise would be discounted and to trigger a violation, noise would have to be a certain level above the ambient sounds. The code amendment makes no distinction between commercial and residentially zones neighborhoods. Bragman disparaged the measure, calling it “a race to the bottom.” He said that discounting ambient noise levels is comparable to saying mean “wherever the most noise is being made, we’ll make it more noisy.” As proposed, the code revision would “legalize an escalation of noise,” Bragman reasoned. It looked as if it was written for defense attorneys, he quipped. The attorney noted that East Hampton’s current law is consistent with dozens of statutes across the country. Bragman reviewed the code at the behest for former town councilwoman Deb Foster. “This is not what you want,” she told the town board, predicting “a continuing vortex of escalating sound.” On the other side of the community coin, attorney Larry Kelly, who represents a number of local restaurants, reported that the whole reason why the revision was proposed was because the current law was unenforceable and the town kept losing court cases. He spoke specifically of a temporary restraining order against the Sloppy Tuna in Montauk that was denied. When Town Attorney John Jilnicki said he didn’t believe there was a written judicial opinion s t a t i n g w h a t Ke l l y c l a i m e d , Supervisor Bill Wilkinson directed him to review the case and give the town board an update at a later work session. Kelly complained that no one from the business community had been part of the discussion leading
up to the crafting of the draft. He wanted to see the board include feedback from business owners in the writing of any subsequent revisions. Laraine Creegan, executive director of the Montauk Chamber of Commerce, felt the same way. She worried proposed changes could have a negative impact on business, while Margaret Turner, the executive director of the East Hampton Business Alliance, characterized a number
www.indyeastend.com
of definitions and provisions in the law as “a little vague.” Both women felt proposed penalties were too high. Speaking as president of the chamber, the CEO of Gurney’s Inn, the group Montauk Citizens Voice, and as a patron of local establishments, Paul Monte said he, too, believes input from the business community would be valuable in revising the revision. Chris Pfund, who does the sound systems for a few places in Montauk, said he was heartened by the direction the law is taking – using ambient noise as a baseline – because the current code has

created an environment where it is impossible to comply. A couple of speakers talked of noise other than that coming from music at clubs. Ann Maegli said she is more bothered by the crowd noise than music at Ruschmeyer’s near her home. Tom MacNiven wants officials to consider curtailing the hours contractors can work in residential neighborhoods. He said he understood the season of long days is short for them, but it’s short for backyard barbecues, too. Prior to the meeting, flyers from a group called “ban the blowers” were distributed. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Good News, Moneywise By Kitty Merrill
Two pieces of news out of Albany this week speak to East Hampton Town’s success at righting the fiscal ship. Last Wednesday Super visor Bill Wilkinson announced East Hampton would receive a $536,425 local government performance and efficiency award from the New York Department of State in recognition of a municipal restructuring plan his administration designed and implemented. The restructuring was part of the effort to address the $27 million deficit left by disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee. Last week The New York Department of State announced over $12 million in Local Government Performance
and Efficiency Program (LGPEP) grant assistance in recognition of the recurring financial savings generated by 13 municipalities. The grants will be distributed in equal parts over three years, and are contingent upon continued demonstration of savings. According to a release from the NYDOS, a competitive program, LGPEP rewards local governments for undertaking significant and innovative actions that reduce the property tax burden confronting residents. The projects recognized are estimated by applicants to generate $38.2 million in combined annual savings. In accepting an award, local governments commit to measuring and sustaining the financial impact of these savings.

“This program is an integral part of Governor Cuomo’s agenda to improve efficiency and reduce costs at all levels of government,” said New York Secretary of State Cesar A. Perales. “The Governor is yet again applying a competitive process to stimulate creativity and innovation among decision makers, and the big winners are the taxpayers who will benefit from smart, cost saving investments in their communities’ futures.” The Town of East Hampton implemented a comprehensive organizational restructuring of town government, downsizing 26 separate departments into 13 departments through attrition, staff reduction, and consolidation of functions to create a more efficient and cost effective government model. East Hampton realized a savings of $4.2 million dollars through this reengineering initiative, representing an 18 percent

drop in the tax levy. The savings are related to $2.7 million in salaries and benefits of employees who took the retirement incentive offered at the end of 2010, in positions that were subsequently eliminated, plus another $1.53 million for 19 positions that were in the 2010 budget and never filled, then eliminated from the 2011 budget. “In 2010, the Town of East Hampton was facing a severe financial crisis,” Wilkinson said Wednesday. “Through a combination of fiscal restructuring, municipal consolidations and organization reengineering and by taking advantage of programs offered by New York State, East Hampton crafted a fiscal recovery while reducing operating expenses and property taxes for its residents . . . Those efforts were not simply a snapshot in time; they continue every day. We thank the New York Department of State for recognizing these achievements through our Local Government Performance and Efficiency Program Award and for their recognition of all other rewarded entities that participate in similar efforts and strategies.” East Hampton was the only town in Suffolk County to receive the award. Supervisor Wilkinson stated, “This award objectively evaluated our recovery plan that included implementing zero based budgeting, prudent deficit financing, reduction in staff through attrition and incentive retirements, consolidating operations and streamlining functions, improving operational efficiencies, eliminating and/or reducing select municipal programs, introducing personal accountability and sale of surplus assets.” Speaking of deficit financing, back in 2009 when The Independent was in the midst of conducting its years-long investigation into town finances – an investigation that led to the arrest of the then town budget officer and McGintee’s resignation, Assemblyman Fred Thiele advised town officials to consider seeking state approval to borrow money to liquidate the deficit. At the time, The Independent reported that just one other town in the state, Colonie, a well-heeled suburb of Albany, was considering deficit liquidation financing. The municipality decided to go with massive tax increases to fill the budget hole instead – a move that was promoted by one of McGintee’s financial advisors. That was in 2009. This week, State Comptroller Tom Di Napoli released fiscal stress scores for local communities, and designated two-dozen communities in New York as “fiscally stressed.” Colonie was among them. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Twenty Years To Life By Kitty Merrill
Fidel Castro-Brito, whose sexual crimes against children spurred a months-long investigation by East Hampton Town Police detectives that ultimately resulted in two felony indictments charging 76-counts, was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison on Friday. Charges included six counts of predatory sexual assault against a child, first-degree rape, use of a child in a sexual performance, promoting a sexual performance by a child, possessing a sexual performance by a child, and endangering the welfare of a child. On May 2 Castro-Brito pleaded guilty in front of Judge Barbara Kahn to all of the counts in the two indictments. Prosecutors from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s sought the maximum sentence of 50 years to life, but Kahn agreed to sentence the predator to 20 to life. There were four victims abused and raped by Castro-Brito, 24. He was indicted for having sex more than once with one 12-year-
old victim between February and April of 2012, subjecting her to “a continuous course of sexual conduct.” Castro-Brito additionally pleaded guilty to engaging in a course of sexual conduct with three different victims, all under the age of 11, for over three months with each child, the first between the summer of 2010 and the summer of 2011, the second from the fall of 2010 to April 2012, and the third during the summer of 2011, according to the indictments. Castro-Brito was arrested in April of 2012. Police were alerted to him after one of the victims’ father saw him jumping out of his daughter’s bedroom window. Detective Tina Giles, who helmed the investigation, was honored as the 2012 Officer of the Year for her work in bringing Castro-Brito to justice. Chief Ed Ecker at the time described the case as “chilling.” Giles was also the first woman to earn the Howard Stock Award, which is given to the outstanding officer among East End agencies.

Hidden Cove Impact The Independent recently reported that Suffolk County has agreed to stop using the Hidden Cove Motel in Hampton Bays as a homeless shelter. We reported that there were 40 students housed at the shelter, which cost the Hampton Bays taxpayers about $1 million per year. However, according to Lars Clemensen, the Hampton Bays School Superintendent, there have been about 40 students from the shelter enrolled in the school since it was opened in October, 2011. As of last week, there were 14 residents in the school. In addition, Clemensen said, there are a number of other students from out of the state (and out of the country) that were moved to the shelter at various times. In some cases those students became the responsibility of the Hampton Bays district and its taxpayers, even if they have subsequently been moved elsewhere. However, the cost of educating those students is partially offset. “We fill out a form and send it to Albany, and in our state aide we are compensated.” He said the nonresident tuition rate is $80/$85 per day. The per cost of educating a student is about $22,000 in Hampton Bays. Clemensen said the “unreimbursed cost” to local taxpayers is about $100,000 per year. R.M.

Local Food Purchasing Plan Takes Root By Kitty Merrill
A broad coalition of farming, conservation and environmental organizations applauded the State Assembly this week for unanimously passing legislation that will strengthen the state’s local-food economy and protect New York farms. The senate passed a companion bill earlier this month.
Huge Selection of Great Quality Plant Material
The Food Metrics Bill (S.4061/A.5102), sponsored by Sen. Patty Ritchie and Assemblywoman Crystal D. PeoplesStokes, as well as local Assemblyman Fred Thiele, would require state agencies to establish a robust food purchasing, tracking and reporting system that will provide baseline data about money being spent on food and the geographic source of such food.

The bill also lays the groundwork to encourage state institutions to buy more food grown on farms in New York. “As a sponsor of the bill and one who represents the most productive agricultural county in the state, I am pleased that the State Assembly has given final passage to the food metrics bill,” said Thiele. “This legislation will promote New York State agriculture and encourage the purchase of locally grown food products. If agriculture is to remain sustainable, our efforts must begin at home. We have spent millions in Suffolk to preserve farmland. However, if we are also to preserve the local farmer, we must insure that agriculture is economically viable. This is an important step in that direction. I urge the Governor to sign the bill.” He was not alone in the urging. “The Assembly has made an important statement today by encouraging state agencies to buy food grown in New York – and gathering the information necessary to see if it’s really happening,” said David Haight, American Farmland Trust’s New York State Director, in a release from the coalition last Thursday. “We hope that Governor Cuomo will sign this legislation and use the state’s purchasing power to support local farmers and feed more healthy food to millions of New Yorkers.” “Today’s Assembly passage of the Food Metrics Bill is a tremendous win for New York farms, for our state’s agricultural economy as well as for sustainable food,” said New York League of Conservation Voters
IN THE NEWS
President Marcia Bystryn added. “We look forward to Gov. Andrew Cuomo signing this bill into law.” “This bill is an important first step in establishing New York as a leader on local and sustainable food purchasing,” said Mark A. Izeman, Director of the New York Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). “This legislation lays the groundwork for setting concrete purchasing targets and incorporating sustainability criteria that could further boost green economic growth, preserve threatened farmland, and improve the health of New Yorkers.” “New York should use its purchasing power to purchase local foods, helping local farmers and food processors. It will help create more jobs in the local food economy. An impressive range of farm, environmental, public health and anti-hunger organizations support this legislation. We want to thank Assembly member PeopleStokes and Senator Ritchie for their leadership. We look forward to Governor Cuomo signing it,” said Mark Dunlea, Executive Director of the Hunger Action Network of NYS. “Local food is a win-win for everyone involved because it keeps farmers farming and reduces transportation impacts which harm the environment,” said Katherine Nadeau, Water & Natural Resources Director of Environmental Advocates of New York. New York currently has no reliable data on the amount of food it purchases in and out-of-state. Lacking a baseline for measurement, it’s difficult to increase the consumption of local foods, a step which would aid New York’s struggling agriculture industry. The benefits of buying local are numerous – it preserves disappearing farmland, can be a boon to the local economy and it provides New Yorkers with fresher, healthier food. The Food Metrics Bill mandates that state agencies establish a tracking and reporting program for all food they’re buying. It requires the Office of General Services and the Department of Agriculture and Markets to set guidelines for state agencies on increasing their purchase of local foods. Successful bidders on state food contracts would also have to provide the type, dollar value, and geographic origin of all their food to the procuring agency.

Historic Tourney On Tap By Kitty Merrill
Anglers and enviros will join together to make history this weekend as Shark’s Eye, Montauk’s first satellite tag and all-release fishing tournament, hits the high seas. Hosted by Montauk Marine Basin, Shark’s Eye has expanded into a two-day festival for sport, science, conservation and education. On Saturday and Sunday, two of the foremost research scientists in the country will come to Montauk. On both days, Brooks and Sean Paxton, A.K.A. “the Shark Brothers,” directors of another shark conservation fishing tournament, the Guy Harvey Ultimate Shark Challenge in Florida, will be on hand to provide educational forums under the tent at MMB. Concurrently, Cornell Cooperative Extension scientist and shark attack survivor Scott Curatolo Wagemann will make a plea for shark preservation while booths under the tent host the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, OCEARCH, and the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation. Tourney visitors will learn about the work the organizations are doing to bring back the large sharks and other species that once flourished in our waters. Four sharks will receive satellitetracking tags during the two-day all release tournament. Three anglers will name three sharks. The sixth grade class at the Montauk school will name a fourth. The public will then be able to follow these fish online via OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker, the most-followed shark tracking site and app in the world. Dave Bofill Marine and White Water Marine will provide chase boats with the scientists to tag the sharks.
And Mustad — the best-selling hook on the planet — will provide circle hooks used to catch and release. The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation is contributing $10,000 in cash prizes and renowned artist April Gornik has donated an original work of art for the winner. All profits from the two-day event will go to Montauk Boatmen Incorporated, the Montauk School, the Montauk Chamber of Commerce and the Concerned Citizens of Montauk. For landlubbers, Montauk Marine Basin’s patriarch Carl Darenberg is better known for his love of music. There’ll be plenty of that to enjoy, too. Country music sensation Colton James and folk music star Caroline Doctorow will be performing at the outdoor stage at Gosman’s famous seafood dock on Saturday night.

OBITUARY
Harold Burt Dominy, 91
Harold Burt Dominy, 91, passed away on June 17 at the VA Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. He was born in Southampton on December 30, 1921 to Erastus Jones and Elizabeth Ginn Dominy. Mr. Dominy grew up in East Hampton and graduated from East Hampton High School in 1938. He joined the Army Air Corps in January, 1940, and served for five years during WWII as a radio and radar operator. In August 1950 he again served in the Air Force during the Korean War for one year. Mr. Dominy married Christine Simons in 1942 in Palm Beach, FL. They were married in what is now The Harriet Himmel Theater at the center of City Place in Palm Beach. They settled in Wainscott, where Harold owned his own plumbing and heating business, “Little Village Plumber,” until he retired in 1971. They then became “snowbirds,” traveling to Boynton Beach, FL. during the winter months and returning to East Hampton for the summers. The couple was happily married for 63 years and raised three children,
Beverly Fick of Wainscott, NY, Sharon Dominy of East Hampton, NY and Harold R. Dominy of Boynton Beach, FL. Not only was he an active ham radio operator, but Harold also followed in the footsteps of his family. At the age of 74 he revived a family tradition, one that had fallen victim to the might of The Industrial Revolution. He began making clocks. The Dominy name has long been associated with clocks; the family of craftsmen arrived in East Hampton in 1669, just 20 years after the town was first settled. The Dominys, beginning with Nathaniel Dominy III (17141778), crafted clocks, furniture and even coffins for the people of East Hampton. Harold said “They were the only village furniture makers and clockmakers. Every village and town had one.” Generations followed in the craft, but as the years passed, the family shop couldn’t compete with the mass production capabilities of mechanized factories. The Industrial Revolution put them out of business. Harold began making clocks and wooden furniture as a way to honor
REAL ESTATE
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
his family’s past, and its present. His clocks represent “a piece of old East Hampton,” he believed. His designs were not those of his ancestors — in fact, Harold professed not to care for the traditional Dominy look. “They’re very narrow. They were made to tell time, that’s all,” he had said. His designs ranged from compact tissue-box style clocks to an elegant six-foot tall grandfather clock. He used a wide variety of woods in his creations; the door to the pendulum box in one of the grandfather clocks was made out of zebra wood, giving the square door the illusion of curves. Mr. Dominy made his clocks in a basement shop, amidst tables full of tools and stacks of wood along the walls. One of his designs bridged the centuries separating him from his clockmaking ancestors. An amateur Ham radio operator since 1939, he came across some computer circuit boards while he was browsing in an electronic shop. He glued a clock face to the circuit board and built a wood casing — a Dominy clock for the 21st century. Physical pieces of East Hampton were included in some of his works; wood from the elm tree that stood in front of the East Hampton Historical Society found its way into several of his clocks. He took wood scrap from Home Sweet Home when the museum was remodeled “just to
IN THE NEWS
say we got a piece of Home Sweet Home.” The handle of a clam basket he made is composed of a gnarled vine he came across in an East Hampton cemetery. When he worked, however, time was not of the essence. He didn’t keep time, saying that “if I kept the time I wouldn’t be making any of it.” It is estimated that he made between 30 and 40 clocks; many are in the hands of family members. He also made grandfather clocks for a number of East Hampton churches and the VFW Post in Amagansett. Harold was preceded in death by his wife Christine. He is survived by his daughter, Beverly and son-in-law Ronald Fick of Wainscott; daughter Sharon and son-in-law Herb Dollinger of East Hampton; son Harold R and Laurie Dominy of Boynton Beach FL: Continued on Page 34.

Before we came to East Hampton from Manhattan in the 1960’s, I had never voted. In fact I was not even registered to vote. In New York City where I grew up, elections were the same old, same old -- a one party system, the Democrats always won. Then I came out here; you actually knew the candidates; each vote counted in an election. After all, in the sixties didn’t Walt Hackett lose to Gene Lester by 30 some odd votes? If a handful of people voted the other way, well, you know what I mean. Elections and candidates were real, touchable. Your vote could make a difference. So Mary Ella Reutershan drove me up island to the Board of Elections and I registered. I learned that East Hampton, at the
THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman
time, was a Republican town. In the 1930’s, it had been a Democratic town. How wonderful, things did change. I registered Republican, not to ingratiate myself with the townspeople, but because in my family of 19th century immigrants, the Democratic Party in New York City, Tammany Hall, did not welcome Jewish voters. It was the Republican Party, of all things, for which a great-uncle of mine was a spokesman and lower east side operative getting immigrants to register to vote. It was the party of Governor Lehman and later Jacob Javits. So having learned that my ancestors were so shunned I became a registered Republican in the Town of East Hampton, but would vote for whomever and whatever party I darned pleased because you actually had your hands on the election, the candidates, the issues. They touched you and your families. And of all things, my neighbor, Walt Hackett, decided to run again for Supervisor on the Independent Voters

There was a small salary, and, I was to man the campaign office, and, sit in as well on strategy sessions. (Walt’s son Chip was in my older son’s class, and, we Rubensteins, lived right near the Hacketts and the Hackett gas station on the Montauk Highway near Pantigo.) Overnight it seemed, I had graduated from not voting at all to working on a political campaign. And getting paid. Great! I wouldn’t have to get to CCNY anymore, a long trip, where I lectured in Philosophy while working towards a doctorate. The campaign office was on Main Street off Fithian Lane on the second floor of a building shared with a dentist near where, in future years, there would be a collection of movie theatres.

Walter yelled at her for that. I remember his words. “I won’t stand for any of that”! I think Mary Ella was just being political, not prejudiced, however, I am convinced she under-estimated the people of East Hampton. I never felt more welcome anywhere than when I moved out here with my family, no car at first, taxi-driver husband here only weekends, and neighbors, teachers, helpful, giving, caring . . . it was my Brigadoon! For the children? My daughter Amy said “even when things are bad they are better in East Hampton;” my son Scott became an athletic hero starting with Biddy and Little League; son David managed (actually offering some welcomed advice to the coaches) most of the high school varsities. And, young as they were, they walked home from high school games at 10:30 at night without fear. Paradise! So here’s what I think. There is still that old East Hampton feeling alive, but sinking. After all the year round population was only about 5000 when we came here; Lord knows what it is now, maybe 30,000 counting all families. And clearly the demographics have changed dramatically. And maybe those new populations don’t feel as welcome as I did. There were a whole set of different people doing the welcoming -- people like me who wanted to shut down the bridge over the Shinnecock Canal after having crossed it into my paradise, wanting to hoard it -- not like the families who had lived here for so very long, letting in strangers with a yellow taxi-cab from Manhattan, making them feel part of the community. I’ve thought about it a lot. About attitudes and places. Maybe, like it or not, paradise, the state of mind, is lost if not shared, a lesson to be learned. Lona Rubenstein, a long time resident of East Hampton, attributes any wisdom found in this piece to her husband Marty who passed away in November.

Man Found Dead In Pool Last Wednesday morning Southampton Police, responding to a call, discovered a dead body in a Water Mill swimming pool. Fire department and ambulance volunteers responded to a house on Deerfield Road. A white male, not a resident of the home, was found at the bottom of the pool and had apparently drowned. The deceased was identified as Lizandro Lopez, age 30, from Southampton Village. Lopez was removed from the pool with the assistance of North Sea Fire Department and his death is being investigated by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s Office and the Southampton Town Detective Division. The investigation is continuing and police hope to learn why the deceased was at the residence. Anyone with information should call 631-702-2230. East Hampton Village Police were alerted to a swimmer in distress at Main Beach on Thursday at around 4:30 PM. Upon arrival they found Juan Carlos Salvana, 30, of Long Island City at the edge of the surf. He was unconscious, wasn’t breathing and had no pulse. Police officers and a bystander identified as Dr. Louis Cohen began CPR and continued until the village ambulance arrived and transported him to Southampton Hospital where he was listed in critical condition. Police later learned that another bystander, Bill Roberson of Michigan, was the person who swam out and pulled Salvana to shore. Salvana was reportedly in an induced coma as of last Friday, and still not breathing on his own.

I saw three grown men, all wearing cowboy hats, in the fish store this weekend. I know, I know, you’re expecting me to write something really smarmy about them, but I’m not going to. I’ve evolved and grown as a human being. Maybe they had a logical reason. For example, Papa used to wear straw hats for shade when he worked in the garden. He didn’t buy them – we would win them at the Fire Department carnival every year in Sag Harbor.
The same motley crew of carnies would roll in every year, led by “Tuffy” who manned the Ferris wheel. Assorted female “townies” would station themselves next to him, hoping for a hot night with this muscular brut with a navy tattoo on his mammoth arm. The fact that some of the more unseemly girls found him attractive troubled us guys, because Tuffy had very few teeth in his mouth. Then again, some of the girls shared the same predicament. Me, my sister and our friends

would go to the carnival every night. Papa would fork over a quarter, telling us to bring him back a straw hat. We always did, mainly because you “won” a straw hat or a “cane” every time you took a chance. That’s because the hats, and the canes – colored sticks with a plastic die on top – cost less than the quarter you anteed up. We’d go to the carnival even on nights when we had no money. I was captivated by the gambling booths – what a shock – like Over/ Under, Big Six, etc. Usually I’d grub up a quarter and slip it on the table, even though you had to be 18. If I won, I’d try to parlay it. (Come to think of it, I’ve been leading my life the same way ever since.) They had one booth where the prizes were bottles of liquor – really cheap stuff, like pints of Four Roses. The teenage boys would spend all their money trying to get some

hooch – when one did, they would all retreat back into the weeds, suck it down, and come back looking for a fight. I remember once Jimmy Dean, the singer, actor, and sausage king, was strolling around the carnival, with a group of whiskied up local boys walking behind him trying to goad him into a fight. “You ain’t so big, Big John!” they would yell, alluding to his big hit about a coalminer with the same name (by the way, “Big John” was written by Johnny Cash). Dean, probably liquored up himself, ignored them. Speaking of whiskey, that’s what cowboys drink. And they ride horses. And they eat Slim Jims and beef jerky and rabbit stew and stuff like that. The only cowboy I’ve ever seen in these parts was the guy in the Village People. Maybe these guys in the fish store wore cowboy hats to shield them from the sun? Couldn’t be – all three of them were perfectly tanned. Maybe they were in there buying Slim Jims and beef jerky? Nope, they were going to have truffled scallops with lime and ginger glaze. Christ, what would Hopalong Cassidy say? My favorite “cowboy” story was told to me by a guy who recruited big time stockbrokers. He went down to Dallas to meet a team of them – these guys were probably worth a billion dollars a year in commissions. The recruiter bought a $1200 Stetson hat, alligator boots, and a $5000 gold belt buckle to impress the brokers. When he got there the guys were all sitting around the boardroom dressed like conservative Wall Streeters. Finally one of the brokers, in a deep Texas twang, told a joke. “What do you call a cowboy with a Stetson hat and alligator boots on?” he bellowed. Then he answered his own question: “An asshole from New York!” When I was walking out of the fish store two young, obviously rich guys were walking in – one had a Cuban shirt on and wore a porkpie hat. The other wore a fedora and was smoking a huge cigar. He was like, 22. Is this stuff supposed to be cool? When I was their age I had bellbottoms with holes in the knees (that I put there), tie-dyed shirts, and I wore a headband. In other words, sensible attire for a normal young man. Where have we gone wrong?

EDITORIAL
Did Edward Snowden Commit Treason? Is Edward Snowden a patriot for revealing the government has been eavesdropping on civilians? Or has he committed treason for leaking confidential government information he obtained by working for the National Security Agency? Let’s look at this logically. First of all, it can’t possibly come as a surprise to learn the government is tracking our Internet use. Anyone with a half-brain figured out long ago the technology companies are watching our online behavior and using it to market products geared for us. The rumors that Microsoft was in cahoots with the government have been around for years. The disturbing thing is the Big Brother syndrome – that the government can use the material it gathers for nefarious means. Last week Washington announced it had thwarted terrorist attacks because of information it gathered on the Internet. That’s a valid – and predicable – defense. Unfortunately, just weeks ago we learned the Internal Revenue Service was targeting opponents of the current administration. That’s not only creepy, it’s scary. Snowden wasn’t a government employee but an outside contractor. If he signed agreements never to reveal what he learned, then he’s probably guilty of something – but it would be something benign, like breach of contract. Let’s not hunt him down, drag him home, and make an example of him to sate those in Washington who have once again gotten caught with their pants down. More On The Rogue Principal The more Springs School principal Eric Casale spins his story, the more apparent it becomes that he is caught in a web of his own deceit.

End Of The Scandal Dear Rick, I was both surprised and extremely pleased to read that the homeless shelter at the Hidden Cove Motel in Hampton Bays is going to be shut down. Although I had something to do with recently republicizing this civic atrocity, almost every bit of credit for its demise must go to this newspaper’s editor, Rick Murphy, for his stellar efforts on behalf of those of us who opposed this contemptible hustle in the name of the disadvantaged. I had come to strongly feel that this issue had, from its beginning, morphed into a vivid example of just what can go terribly
wrong when a bureaucracy -- namely the Suffolk County Department of Social Services -- is allowed to run amok. The homeless shelter in Hampton Bays, dropped from the sky by DSS onto Hampton Bays like a bomb from a drone, isn’t just an issue -- it’s a scandal. If it isn’t a fullyfledged scandal, it looks, walks and quacks just like one. I lived at Hidden Cove for 16 months as a rent-paying holdover tenant and whether I wanted to or not, I had to notice the difference between what, in one ear, I heard was good and NECESSARY about it, while I could use my other senses and brain to see and understand how rotten-to-the-core it was. How cynical and money-grubbing it all seemed to be. Much to my gratification, what I thought was true actually WAS true! I do not believe in coincidences when it comes to this scandal. I do not believe
What’s worse, the more Casale squirms the more Springs school board members defend him. What is clear, though, is no one in Springs has the facts about the cheating scandal that forced Casale out of a job in the Bronx nearly 8 years ago. What they have is a chain of events as told by Casale – but his story simply does not stand up to scrutiny. Parents and Springs residents need to stop swallowing the Kool-Aid. Casale fled the Bronx before the hammer came down on him. He was about to be suspended, and a process would have begun that may might well have resulted in the revocation of his license. His tale was completely rebuked by investigators who clearly stated he covered up a cheating scandal, destroyed evidence, and lied to them. He championed the teacher who manipulated test results and gave her a promotion -- even though another candidate was more qualified -- and a huge raise. Her license has since been revoked. His only public explanation is that he reported the test discrepancies to his superintendent, but the transcripts of hearing reveal just the opposite occurred. Springs residents were sold a bill of goods eight years ago when we brought in this guy – who was on the run – and gave him a $125,000 salary. It needs to end now. Surely there were better candidates than a 33 year-old with a tarnished reputation. Any school administrator accused of the egregious cheating charges Casale was would want to clear his name. Instead, Casale tried to hide the full extent of the scandal and pass himself off as something he’s not – an honest, dedicated, school principal. And don’t believe the nonsense that the Springs search committee fully vetted him in 2005 – they were manipulated. There’s more coming about Casale’s conduct while on the job at PS-91, so stay tuned. that the homeless shelter’s creation was the fruit of a perfect storm of need (too many homeless people for the county to handle without more space) and opportunity (a motel space just ripe for the plucking because it, too, suffered from a bad economy). What I DO believe in is the kind of corruption, which doesn’t necessarily refer to money changing hands in back alleys, but does refer to the kind of “corruption” which is inevitable when liberal social causes are force-fed into a community which has nothing to do with the “problem.” The ensuing damage is never contemplated as important by the shape-shifters. So what if property values go down in the adjacent neighborhood? So what if rent-paying tenants are displaced? So what if the community doesn’t want to
see this Petri dish of probable petty crime? So what if the homeless shelter operator (Community Housing Innovations) has dozens of “clients” (isn’t that term cringeworthy in this context?) come to Hampton Bays straight from out of state -- not just from up island communities? So what if some “clients” have been there for at least one year? So what if those who stay there the longest just happen to be women with two children, who therefore qualify for the highest amount of government benefit? Who cares? As it turns out, the community cared and so did Rick Murphy. Certain politicians seemed to care as well. Anna Throne- Holst, for one. Jay Schneiderman? Different story. This gutless ribbon cutter and photo opportunist was against the shelter (when I first bumped Continued on Page 26.

We were then to be assuaged by the secular beatitudes of the creepily non-confrontational Alex Roberts -- head homeless hustler in charge of Community Housing Innovations -- to assure us that he and his organization would be there to take care of our “problem”(to the tune of several hundreds of thousands of dollars flowing into his non-profit -- ha!-organization’s accounts).

Agenda 21 Dear Editor, Residents please be aware and research the Southampton Town Board’s new addition to the Southampton Comprehensive Plan. It is called 400+ Sustainability Element. There are many who believe this was conceived and copied from a plan called “Agenda 21” which would have the United Nations running our town and other towns globally. Its aim is to have everyone equal. Agenda 21’s concept is that the middle class is a threat to the world. Co nfi r m o u r m e m b e rs h i p o n l i n e under ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives). Both Southampton town and village are listed as members.

Transcends Party Dear Rick, Have you heard about the fantastic award that was given to the Town of East Hampton and Bill Wilkinson by Governor Cuomo and the New York State, Department of State? In recognition of Bill’s extraordinary management of East Hampton’s fiscal disaster, (the Democrats’ $27 million legacy to taxpayers), and the re-engineering of the town’s finances and government, the DOS awarded $536,425 to the Town. After a number of local negative editorials, all obviously wrong, it is great to see an objective professional assessment that recognizes the stunning success of the Wilkinson administration. And this success truly transcends party, as all taxpayers receive the rewards of good management. I can heartily agree with Governor Cuomo, Bill’s government is a model for other municipalities to follow. A big thank you needs to go to Bill Wilkinson and Theresa Quigley, Len Bernard, Charlene Kagel and all of the other players in this government who continue to work each day to foster the good government principles and practices that led to this award. CAROLE CAMPOLO Editor’s Note: Wasn’t Dominic Stanzione part of the Republican majority that engineered the financial turnaround along with Quigley and Wilkinson?

Decisiveness Required Dear Editor, On Thursday, Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand demonstrated what leadership in tackling global warming looks like. They, along with senators from New Jersey and Connecticut, sent a letter to the White House, describing the devastation that Hurricane Sandy caused, including to New York, and asking President Obama to cap carbon pollution from new and existing power plants. We need more elected officials in New York willing to address this issue, and we need President Obama to lead in tackling global warming. From Sandy to wildfires in Colorado, millions of Americans continue to be affected by extreme weather events that scientists warn will only grow worse unless we cut the carbon pollution fueling global warming. I applaud Senators Schumer and Gillibrand for stressing the need for urgency, and I urge President Obama to tackle global warming with the decisiveness required, most notably by setting strong limits on carbon pollution from new and existing power plants. FRANK IANNUZZI
Time Will Tell Dear Rick, Interesting. Here in the U.S., we actually still have average citizens rooting for the Keystone XL carrying the Canadian filthy sand oil from Alberta to refineries in Texas thinking it will in some mysterious way make our country oil independent and they themselves able to buy gas at a lower price. In fact the Koch brothers and fellow tar sands investors are the only ones who will benefit as well as the oil conglomerates who will sell that refined oil overseas. It seems the Canadians are more realistic concerning the environmental dangers of piping their own tar sands within their own land. They have put a kibosh on their Northern Gateway pipeline, a pipeline to cross Canada to their own refineries. The reason is the potential environmental disasters from the inevitable oil spills. They realize how damaging it would be to their country to have their own tar sands pipelined across their own land. Is America’s land less precious than Canada’s? Are Americans more naive than the Canadians; more easily manipulated by the true benefactors of this impending
horror? Are we going to wake up and follow the lead of Canada or will remain duped and watch take place the contamination of
our soil as well as the drinking water within it? Time will tell. NICHOLAS ZIZELIS

Bruce S. Bunce, 60
Bruce Stephen Bunce of East Hampton passed away on June 13, 2013 in Lady Lake, Florida having briefly relocated there to be cared for and comforted by family members due to complications from recently diagnosed cancer. He was just 60 years-old. Born in Amityville, NY on February 19, 1953, he was the first of five children of Albert J. and Patricia Bunce of Lady Lake, Florida, former long-time residents of Cosdrew Lane, East Hampton. After attending East Hampton High School he pursued his love for cooking and eventually, with no formal training and only natural talent, worked with and under some of the best chefs in our area at fine establishments including Gordon’s of Amagansett, The Maidstone and the former Spring Close House for many years. Among some of his family’s favorite dishes he often prepared were his unrivaled stuffed flounder and scampi. His creamed spinach took top honors, recalled Robin Shepard, who despite being his favorite (and only) sister, said he would never divulge his exact recipe to her. He eventually partnered in his family-owned business of Long Island Coffee Company and Vermont Pure bottled water distributor for many years until the company was sold. He had been working for

Gosman’s Fish Market in Montauk upon learning of his illness. A great father, son, brother, uncle and brother-in-law, Bruce enjoyed family gatherings and all of his family members who loved him dearly. He is survived by both his parents, Patricia and Al, his only son, Robert Bunce of Hicksville, four siblings: Robin Shepard (Donny) of North Carolina, Michael Bunce Sr. (Jeanne) of Water Mill, Kevin Bunce Sr. (Meg) of East Hampton, and Keith Bunce (Lynda) of North Carolina and his former wife Patricia (nee Voohries) Bunce. He was a cherished uncle to John Knight, Amy Commander, Donny Shepard Jr., Michael Bunce, Jr., Christopher Bunce, Kevin Bunce Jr. and Georgia Bunce. He was great uncle to Jack and Stephen Commander. He will be greatly missed by his many aunts, uncles, cousins and especially by his good friend Maria Delvecchio. Upon learning of her uncle’s passing, his youngest niece, Georgia, carefully illustrated a card and in the simple words of an eight-year old wrote: “Dear Uncle Bruce, I hope you had a good time on earth. I will miss you. Love, Georgia.” On Sunday June 16, a small private service was held in Lady Lake Florida by a family pastor. His remains were cremated and his ashes will be spread off Montauk Pt. at his request during a memorial service to be held there in October. Letters of condolences can be sent to Pat and Al Bunce, 1626 Bay Meadows Lane, Lady Lake Florida, 32159. His family requests that donations in his memory be made to the Montauk Lighthouse Museum at P.O. Box 943 Montauk, New York 11954

Eventually whistleblowers, tiring of Casale’s cover-up, sent the statements to the Commissioner of Education and the mayor’s office. An investigation was finally opened months after the alleged cheating occurred. Investigators subsequently questioned several students, and one said Lee assured the class that Casale said it was permissible for Lee to help some of the students with the test. Fisher administered the test with Lee acting as a proctor, on May 4, 2004. Fischer testified she “observed Mrs. Lee approach two or three students who did not raise their hands for assistance.” Fisher said Lee pointed to several answers and the students then changed them. Fisher notified Shelly Debin, another Assistant Principal, and
Continued from page 8. initially was made aware of the allegations not by Casale but by the Chancellor’s Strategic Response Group in early March 2005. The Chancellor’s office had received two complaints about cheating at PS-91. Ruales was instructed by her superior to go to Casale and “ascertain information.” Staffers and parents at the school told investigators they went outside the PS-91 chain of command because the cheating scandal was being squashed in house. The complaints reached the Board of Education, the Chancellor’s Office and even the mayor’s office. Casale and the teacher accused of giving test answers on statemandated math tests to students, Barbara Lee, “provided written statements denying the allegations of test tampering,” Ruales told investigators. Casale, although he told Springs School Board members that he contacted his superintendent Staffers and parents told about the cheating allegations, told a different tale to city investigators the cheating scandal investigators in February, 2005. “Mr. Casale stated Mrs. Ruales was being squashed. informed him of an anonymous letter alleging test cheating.” Interviews with several employees informed her that she did not at PS-91 said it was widely known want Lee in the classroom for the Casale knew of the allegations a year remaining two days of testing. Lee was reassigned as hall monitor earlier then he claims he did. Ness Matos, an investigator with immediately, with Casale’s approval. Pierce testified that Fisher told the Chancellor’s Office of Special Investigations, said although Casale her of Lee’s actions and on May claimed, “no students, staff, or 6, 2004, she reported it to Debin parents complained to him about the and Casale. Both Debin and Casale test cheating allegation,” Casale’s denied they were informed about testimony was directly refuted by the cheating at that time, and Mary Ann Fisher, a teacher, and investigators concluded both lied. There is overwhelming evidence Carol Pierce, an Assistant Principal, that Casale tried to keep the matter among others. As previously reported, Casale, in house and bury the accusations. only 31, came to PS-91 with an He had promoted Lee to assistant agenda to raise test scores. Ruales principal – at a huge salary increase - and the pair had come on the scene hired him, one source said. Lee, a math teacher, came on to together and were friendly. There were allegations that the school with him and the two were “thick as thieves,” one person the process used to promote with intimate knowledge of the administrators, called a C-30, was tampered with in Lee’s case to situation at the school said. Casale related that he “faced assure she would get the position. a great deal of pushback for Carlos Velez, the principal of a my initiatives, a sadly common neighboring school, was on the experience in the NYC public committee formed to choose the new assistant principal. He gave schools.” But insiders said Casale favored Lee a rating of 35, the highest the younger teachers – that he grade given to any of the applicants socialized with them, including by any of the seven committee nights out at bars, and that it was members. Her other grades were, this type of behavior that rankled 18,15,20,25,20,15, and 15. Velez testified that Casale asked him to the veteran staffers. Students in a fifth grade math be on the committee.

him about it. At this point in late winter, 2005, investigators were bearing down on Casale, and it was clear he was going to face serious charges, serious enough to possibly end his career. Debin, who according to testimony helped Casale try and cover up the scandal, was disciplined. “It is our recommendation that she is demoted to her last appointed position . . . proceed with charges under Education Law seeking her termination for her failure to report and her attempt to cover up a serious allegation of misconduct.” Lee was supended and eventually lost her license to teach as a result of the cheating scandal at PS-91. “No further action was taken against me, and no charges of ‘cover up’ or ‘destruction of evidence’ were alleged or substantiated against me,” Casale wrote. “Mr. Casale submitted his resignation effective June 30, 2005. Mr. Casale did not state the reason for his resignation,” investigators reported. Casale neglected to mention he was about to face the same fate as Debin – she was disciplined along with Lee in August, 2005, after Casale had left the employ of New York City. “The Springs Board of Education knew about this before I began working in the district,” Casale wrote in his letter to the Springs community. Insiders in the Bronx said if Casale was indeed vetted by Springs School officials, he likely directed them to speak to Ruales, his friend and ally. Casale claimed he did not know he was barred from working in NYC until The Independent reported on the matter last month. “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,” the investigation concluded. In late April, Springs School officials quietly asked a vice principal, Katherine Byrnes, to resign. The matter was not publicly revealed until parents complained there were no administrators on board at the school – Casale had been taken to the hospital suffering from chest pains on May 3. The scuttlebutt then was that Casale panicked after a single student reported what might be considered an irregularity in testing protocol, afraid the incident would end up dredging up the scandal at PS91. And it did – an article from the NY Post written in March 2005 fingering Casale surfaced. The story reported Casale would receive a cash stipend if he raised standardized test scores. Casale has not responded to requests for comment.

Let The Crying Begin
In our last column we cautioned that the baseball season was still young, and that there was plenty of time to turn things around. Alas, the season is quickly approaching the halfway point, and while there is still plenty of baseball to be played, chances are, if you picked some of the following players early in your drafts, the clock is about to strike midnight. Here are the chief culprits: 1. Ryan Braun has nine homers, 36 ribbies, and is batting .304. Not bad, you say? Consider he was the consensus top pick in baseball. That means you needed monster numbers from him. Here is a valuable lesson – Braun had a tarnished reputation going into this season – he was accused of using performanceenhancing drugs but got off on a

technicality last season. If we have learned anything from the PED scandal, it’s that players who wean themselves from the drugs start breaking down physically – think A Rod and Aaron Rodriguez. Where is Braun now? On the disabled list nursing a thumb injury. Worse, he’s facing a suspension as more information about his use of PEDs surfaces. Let’s fact it, you should have taken Mike Trout first. 2. Matt Kemp was the top player in baseball two years ago, but was injured much of last year. Still, no one expected the decline to be so deep this season. When he went out with an injury, Kemp was hitting a paltry .251 with only two home runs in 190 at bats. Ouch! The good news is he’s ready to return to action, but

if you took him in the first round, that’s too little, too late for you. How reliable has Roy Halladay been over the years? He won 16 or more games six straight times, culminating with a 21-10 mark and a sparkling 2.44 earned run average in 2010 and a 19-6 record with an even better 2.35 ERA in 2011. Last season, he won 11 games before going down with injuries. Let that be a lesson – once a player becomes damaged goods, the chances of a rebound lessen substantially. Still, no one expected the drop off Halladay experienced this year – he was, arguably, the worst pitcher in baseball before he mericifully was out on the D.L. list. If you took him early, you were rewarded with a 2-4 record and an astronomical 8.65 ERA – in other words, Halladay probably single-handedly knocked you out of contention in your league. Starlin Castro was the second shortstop taken in most leagues behind Troy Tulowiski, and with good reason. He turned 23 in May, yet he’s been a big league star since he was 20, when he hit .300. The
next year he raised his average to .307, drilled 10 homers, batted in 66 runs, stole 22 bases, scored 91 runs, and lashed 207 hits. It was, simply put, one of the best seasons a 21-year-old infielder ever had, on par with the likes of Derek Jeter. Last season he improved to 14 homes, 78 ribbies, and 25 stolen bases, though his average fell to .283, which is still quite good. There is no way any of us could have foreseen the drop off Castro has experienced this year: .228 average, only five homers, 24 ribbies and 6 stolen bases. He’s walked only 12 times in 311 at bats, which might explain things – pitchers aren’t giving him good pitches to hit. By the way, if you took Tulo, you weren’t much better off – he was having a monster year but he, too, is now on the DL with a rib injury that will keep him out for at least another month. Learn from your mistakes: pick healthy players with a track record of playing every day, and keep away from the muscle-bound drug users who look like cartoon characters.

Alderson Shouldn’t Clean House -- Yet
It’s been close to two weeks since Mets GM Sandy Alderson spoke to a large group of season ticket holders. During that talk Alderson spoke of the team’s six-month plan and his belief that he would be able to make some significant acquisitions, either by free agency or trade, over the next several months. While these comments may have been comforting to a fan base suffering
through another losing season, any trade schemes that Alderson may be planning should be put on hold temporarily. Starting pitching is the Mets strength at both the major league level and down through the minors. Unfortunately, starter Jon Neise was placed on the 15-day disabled list over the weekend with a partial tear of his rotator cuff. No surgery

is planned, as the Mets hope two weeks of physical therapy will properly heal the shoulder. Meantime, the team clearly needs some big bats to help out a sluggish lineup. But with this recent development, Mets fans hoping the team will unload some of its pitching for a power bat should hope those plans are held up. While the Mets pitching remains deep down through the minor leagues, the front office would be wise to see how Neise’s shoulder progresses before pulling the trigger on any kind of mega-deal. Jon Neise isn’t the phenom that Matt Harvey is or that Zack Wheeler may become. But since his Mets debut at age 21 in 2008, Neise has been reliable and consistent. Since he took a full time spot in the rotation in 2010, Neise has thrown at least 26 starts per year, while maintaining an ERA under 4.50. Last season was the best for the lefty with 30 starts, 190 innings pitched, an ERA of 3.40, while allowing less than a hit per inning. As the Mets young studs continue to develop, and the likes of Rafael Montero and Noah Sydergaard eventually join the rotation, Jon Neise will become the wily veteran, even if he’s only in his mid-20’s. Additionally, Neise is the only lefthander of the group. I don’t believe waiting for Neise to be fully healthy is an overreaction. The Mets have a recent history of underestimating or misdiagnosing injuries. Any shoulder injury for a pitcher, especially a rotator cuff, is
IN THE NEWS
very concerning news. Roy Halladay and Johan Santana are just two recent examples of pitchers who haven’t successfully recovered from rotator injury. A study by the Texas Rangers in the 1990’s showed that 85 percent of their pitchers with elbow injuries made complete comebacks, compared to fewer than 50 percent from shoulder problems. It’s easy to underestimate the value of a veteran pitcher to a young pitching staff; but as much potential as some of the young prospects show, they are still a crap shoot. John Niese is a proven commodity. As the team looks to Travis D’Arnaud as its catcher of the future, a healthy John Niese would be invaluable to a young staff and a rookie catcher. The blockbuster trade that many Mets fans want to see is unloading some of their starting pitching for Marlins slugger, Giancarlo Stanton. No question, Stanton would bring the Mets lineup instant power and credibility. But Neise is an incredibly important part of stabilizing the Mets rotation, and until Alderson knows his lefty is 100 percent healthy he should stay away from the telephones. Maybe a relaxing trip to the Hamptons could do Alderson some good before the trade deadline of July 31. Anyone have a spare room?
