GUARANTEED TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS This Thursday, The Supremes will strike out the mandate but will probably keep the rest of Obamacare. Obama will greet the news with a speech about a (fictional) sick little boy he knows, who needs a new heart, who now will die because of the heartless conservative justices on the Supreme Court. It’s a lie but it will stiffen up his base and get him a few more votes. When the Supreme Court announcement is made Nancy Pelosi will cry on camera and secretly vow to re-write Obamacare. She also will make up a lie about a little girl she knows, who needs two new kidneys and a liver who will now die because of the five heartless Supreme Court justices who voted against the mandate. She will never mention the 62

percent of the U.S. population that was against having Obamacare rammed down their throats. Obama will win the election. Don’t let the recent polls and the Romney surge fool you. This is an Obama rope-a-dope trick to get his base moving and push them to contribute money and get out the vote in November. Obama already has New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Michigan and probably Ohio in his pocket. Let’s add up the votes. Obama will get 99 percent of the black vote. Liberals and Democrats will tell us this is acceptable racism. The only black person who will vote against Obama is Justice Clarence Thomas.

for Obama the first time and are disillusioned, don’t be surprised if you are called a racist for voting against him today. The Obama-loving media is already starting to subtly play the race card. Obama will win the vast majority of the Latino vote and that’s OK because Republicans have shot themselves in the foot on immigration. The Latino vote will win Obama the swing state of Florida. The only chance Romney has in Florida is to run with a Latino vice president. His choices are Marco Rubio or Jennifer Lopez. I say he should go with Lopez. The New York Times and the rest of the Obama media is already working on sliming Rubio. Obama will get 100 percent of the liberal vote. Liberals will moan and groan about broken promises and still pull the lever for him. Liberals love feeling like victims. Obama will get the union vote. Forget what happened in Wisconsin. Think of the unions in Ohio and Michigan pushing for more Obama freebies. Obama will get the gay vote. Obama will be endorsed by 95 percent of the media. And finally we come to the Democrats. Let me first state that some of my best friends are Democrats. They are political zombies. They keep coming. They never cross party lines. (Democrats, before you write nasty icky things to me, let me remind you I voted for Mario Cuomo, Geraldine Ferraro and Ed Koch. Who’s the last Republican you voted for?) In 1980 Jimmy Carter, who is by far the worst president in the nation’s history, still got over 35 million Democrat votes. Thirty five million Democrats, allegedly of sound mind, voted for Carter over Reagan while we were in the middle of a killer inflation and a job-killing recession. We had lines of people waiting for hours to buy gasoline and Americans being held hostage by Iran. Obama, who so far is only the second-worst president in this nation’s history, will get enough votes to win. He may not get the 69 million votes he got when he was selling us “Yes We Can” and “Change” and

IN THE NEWS

all that other bull, but he will get enough votes to win easily. And if at any time Obama and his gang feel that he doesn’t have a sure victory, I predict that Joe Biden will resign for “health reasons” from the ticket and Hillary Clinton will (after a loud family fight at the Clinton household) be our next vice president. Once elected, Obama will go wild. He will, by decree, turn the United States green. He will destroy the oil industry the same way he has destroyed the coal industry. Pipelines? He don’t need no stinking pipelines. Every cockamamie green project will get the green light and plenty of green dollars. Obama will make a stirring speech about our clean air debt to our children’s children every time a billion-dollar green project fails. We will have cars that run 60 miles on a gallon of gas. Unfortunately, many of us won’t be able to afford a gallon of gas. We will pray for the day when our unemployment numbers will go down to 10 percent. The unemployment numbers will flirt with 20 percent. Small business is doomed. Obama will blame our country’s four-year depression on Bush, Congress, Republicans, Europe and the greedy one percent who won’t pay their “fair share” of taxes. And the next greedy 50 percent who won’t pay their “fair share” of taxes. What he means by “fair” is socialism. We will become a second-rate country in the next four years. Egypt will be for Obama what Iran was for Jimmy Carter. When Obama went to Cairo in 2009 and talked about relations between the U.S. and the Islamic world, he said he regretted decades-old U.S. actions. He turned his back on Israel. That told the Islamists in the Muslim Brotherhood the Middle East was theirs to take. Want to worry? In the next four years at least five nations will have their own drones and a president who likes to play “who shall live and who shall die?” And now that the Obama administration took credit for cyber warfare against Iran, you can bet that there’s some little pimply-faced 16-year-old technological whiz in Russia, China, Pakistan or Iran who, using his computer, has the ability to turn off half the computer-run lights or planes or factories in the United States in one day. The truth is when we re-elect Obama after the past hapless four years we deserve what we get. I’m so, so depressed.

Also this Saturday, the 67th Annual North Sea Fire Department Carnival at Fireman’s Memorial Field off Noyac Road will have a fireworks display after dark. A fireworks display is also slated for Tuesday night. The carnival, which

Sag Harbor’s Original Tuskegee Airman

By Emily Toy

Sag Harbor resident Doctor Roscoe Brown Jr. is a living legend. The Tuskegee Airman served during World War II as a squadron commander, received the Distinguished Flying Cross, and, with his comrades, flew over 200 missions escorting bombers all throughout Europe.

“ We have a distinguished history,” Brown said. “It’s pretty amazing, we all were between the ages of 19 and 25 when we did this.” Originally from Washington D.C., Brown’s story, along with the stories of six other airmen, was brought to the big screen in Double Victory, a documentary produced by George Lucas, originally screened to promote Lucas’ feature film Red Tails, which premiered in January of this year. The documentary tells the story of how blacks were excluded from the military based on the color of their skin. The film goes on to show

the airmen’s training at Tuskegee, Ala., where a separate air base was built to keep the races apart. Their combat activity, which began in Italy and North Africa, was also highlighted in the film. “The social significance for Tuskegee is very important to understand,” Brown said. The U.S. Army Air Corps was pressured by Civil Rights activists to allow black men to train as pilots. According to its website Tuskegee University was awarded the U.S. Army Air Corps contract to help train America’s first black military airmen because it had an outstanding civilian pilot training program. In all, 1000 black pilots trained at the college. Brown was one of the first Tuskegee Airmen and he became squadron commander of the 100th Fighter Squadron of the 332nd Fighter Group. “People thought that African Americans didn’t have the abilities, the skills, the will power to do it,” he said. Brown was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal with Eight Oak Leaf Clusters and the Presidential Unit Citation. After the

IN THE NEWS

war Brown attended New York University, earned his Ph. D and became a professor at New York University and later, the president of Bronx Community College. The documentary was named Double Victory for, according to Brown, the “victory abroad and the victory over segregation.” In 1948, President Harry Truman issued an executive order eliminating segregation in the military. Brown served as a consultant for Red Tails. While making suggestions to improve the authenticity of the language used between pilots and movements made in the cock pit, Brown was able to revisit something he had a first hand take on over 65 years ago. “It was a great experience,” he said. Brown’s efforts and achievements are highly praised, not only nationally but also in his community. Next week, the Sag Harbor Hills Improvement Association will feature Brown as a special guest speaker at its second annual wine tasting and cocktail event, this year called “Red Wine and Red Tails.” “Red Tails really means a lot to me,” Brown said. “I’m gratified the world understood this, that excellence overcomes prejudice.” Emily@indyeastend.com

Getting Hosed At The Pump By Kitty Merrill

. . . and the Hamptons gougeo-meter lands right in the red. Another dip in gas prices was lauded in the news this week, unless you need to fill up on the South Fork. Here, prices are running from 50 cents to almost a dollar more per gallon than they are at stations elsewhere on the island. Indy fans across Suffolk sent in photos showing a consistent average of $3.49 per gallon for regular at pumps in Nassau County and sites like Miller Place, Lindenhurst, and Medford. In Flanders, the price per gallon goes up a little to $3.53, but just

a short ride down Route 24 to Hampton Bays, the increases begin. The price for a gallon of regular measured a less than pleasant $3.95, with increases across the South Fork as you head east. In Amagansett, the skyrocketing begins, with gas hitting $4.23 per gallon of regular. That’s 80 cents more per gallon, $8 more per fill up, if you’re lucky enough to drive a modest car with a 10-gallon tank. Worst case scenario observed in Indy’s survey Sunday? Montauk Fuels at the easternmost edge of the hamlet was charging $4.44 per gallon for regular, if you wanted an attendant to pump the gas for you. Pump it yourself for $4.29.

Full coverage. Half the time.

Other Montauk stations were also charging over $4 per gallon for regular over the weekend. For years Assemblyman Fred Thiele has been waging a battle against South Fork gas gougers. He was successful in passing “zone pricing” regulations designed to target the often specious argument that companies need to charge more for their product because they have to travel further to deliver it. Thiele noted that while a nickel or a dime differential may be acceptable, when it gets to be 40 cents, something else is going on. Thiele’s been conducting gas price surveys for almost two years now and said recent prices represent

the greatest differential he’s seen in years. After the passage of the first zone pricing law, the difference between the cost per gallon on the South Fork and the rest of the island appeared to even out. And, although he called the early law “a good first step,” Thiele reported the state attorney general asked for stronger language to make the regulations easier to enforce. New, stronger language has been crafted and a bill amending the regulation has passed the state assembly. “As we are trying to pass a tougher gouging law we see this differential. I’m not sure it’s just a coincidence,” Thiele said. The assemblyman went further. Pointing out that, for the most part, stations are charging about the same along the Montauk Highway corridor -- $3.95, 46 cents more than elsewhere in the county – he opined, “For any thinking person, there’s obvious price fixing going on. But we have to be able to prove it.” The proposed stricter anti-gouging legislation prompted pushback from the big oil companies, he said “and not just in Albany.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Two Dead in Traffic Tragedies By Kitty Merrill

South Fork roads were the scenes of tragic motor vehicle accidents that claimed the lives of two victims over the weekend. Jeffrey Ahn, 17, of New York, was killed Saturday while he and a group of friends were walking along Old Stone Highway in Amagansett just before 1 PM.

According to published reports, Ahn was walking with three pals from the Amagansett train station to his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vacation house when he was struck and killed by a Lindyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxi. The teens were walking in single file when Ahn was hit from behind. East Hampton Town Police reported the cabbie, Ladislav Smigura, was driving a 2004 Ford van north

on Old Stone Highway when he hit the teen. The boy was pronounced dead at Southampton Hospital. So far, no charges have been filed against Smigura, 25, of East Hampton. He told Newsday that he tried to avoid the group of kids, but Ahn got in his way and was hit by the vanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mirror. He additionally complained about

IN THE NEWS

the lack of space for pedestrians to walk along Old Stone Highway. In Southampton, Flanders Road was closed for hours Monday morning following a crash that killed a pedestrian just after midnight. By Monday morning police were still trying to learn the identity of the victim, who was described as a middle aged Hispanic male approximately five feet tall, with black hair. At the time of the accident he was wearing tan cargo shorts, a gray polo shirt and white Ferrato sneakers. Police know the identity of the motorist who allegedly killed him. The driver, Christopher A. Dean, 41, of Riverhead was arrested at the scene for Driving While Intoxicated. He was transported to Southampton Town Police headquarters where he submitted to a blood test and was held overnight for morning arraignments. Police were called to the scene of a fatal MVA near the intersection of Flanders Road and Old Riverhead Road in Riverside at about 12:33 AM. Responding officers found a male dead in the westbound travel portion of the road. Members of the Flanders Volunteer Ambulance Corps, the New York State Troopers, and the Riverhead Fire Department also responded to the scene to assist. Cops say Dean, who was driving a 2002 Mercedes, struck and killed the victim as he was walking on the westbound side of Flanders Road. Detectives asked for help in identifying the man and locating his next of kin. Anyone with information should call the Detective Unit at 631-702-2230. Traffic was closed in both directions from the traffic circle to Ludlam Avenue during the course of the investigation. It reopened later Monday morning. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Fabulous Ladies Paint The Town Green By Erin Berglin

It’s not hard to understand why East Hampton Village is worldrenowned for its beauty and charm; all you have to do is drive into the town. Main Street is bookended by spacious greens and lined with towering, graceful, mature trees. Credit the Ladies’ Village Improvement Society, which has been caretaker of the village since the group’s inception in 1895, an idea well ahead of its time. Surviving the Depression, natural disasters, and politics, the LVIS has steadfastly fulfilled its mission. Colleen Rando, a member, recently completed a two-year labor of love: her book, The Ladies’ Village Improvement Society of East Hampton, is a timeline memoir intricately gathered from archives of meetings and press clips throughout its history. “I’ve been intrigued by our history ever since I joined LVIS. When a newcomer to the town marvels at its well tended beauty, we like to give the same answer a young gas station attendant gave an inquirer. He said, with pride, ‘The ladies did it.’ When I read that

last sentence, I knew that this was a great story that needed telling.” The groups’ longevity and success can be attributed to its ability to adapt to a changing world for 117 years and counting, and “With continued community support, we should be around for at least another 117 years,” said Rando. In the beginning, a donation from the East Hampton Star to kick start the idea, inspired “civic mothers,” who planted grass, made bike paths, and bought “sprinkling carts” to keep the dust down on the then-unpaved roads. They improved and maintained the town pond, installed street lamps and hired a lamplighter, even taking to the streets with chainsaws in a campaign to remove billboards and signs, which made East Hampton a “sign-less town” even to this day. The courageous group became famous for taking care of business. In a Victorian age when women were often silenced from expressing any form of dissent, the LVIS was performing duties of town governance before its members could legally vote. As the London Times reported, “Nothing bad could

ever happen in East Hampton. The Ladies’ Village Improvement Society simply would not allow it.” LVIS raises funds a number of ways. Its annual summer fair attracts hundreds of visitors and raises a significant portion of the yearly LVIS operating expenses. Martha Stewart worked the fair in 1996, helping to squeeze 25 cases of fresh lemons and selling lemonade for $5 a glass, netting more than $3500. The event is held at LVIS headquarters at 95 Main Street, in the Gardiner Brown house, which also houses Bargain Books and Bargain Box, a fabulous thrift store that is a shopper’s paradise. Much of the money raised goes to the maintainance of over 3500 trees. When Dutch Elm Disease hit in 1930 – it was later discovered the disease came over by boat from Europe – it progressively wiped out most of the elms in the country, except for East Hampton. The LVIS diligently took care of its trees and took the utmost precautions to preserve their majestic beauty. Despite the Hurricane of 1938, which destroyed many of the elms, there are still 144 left standing that are over 100 years old.

Today, there is even a software program, funded by the LVIS, used to monitor the trees, which are fed using a deep-root method with all organic nutrients. The LVIS does more than just maintain the trees, lawns and nature trails in the village. In 1954 the first LVIS scholarship of $200 was awarded. In 2002, the Madelon DeVoe Talley scholarship was established, for women returning to college, with a $3000 award. A $5000 scholarship is given to two students attending a technical college or a two-year program. There is the Dudley Roberts scholarship award of $10,000, and fourteen $6000 awards, as well as three $3000 scholarships to students attending a two-year college. In total the LVIS awarded over $100,000 in scholarships this past year. Yet another $10,000 memorial scholarship has recently been added, made possible by a generous bequest by longtime loyal LVIS supporter, Richard N. Ryan. His donation will also go towards the upkeep of greens, trees, and the Nature Trail. The ladies would love to add more “named scholarships” and are actively seeking community members who would be interested in helping their cause.

World Class Camp Coming By Kitty Merrill

For the first time anywhere, a popup dance studio featuring the country’s top choreographers will open in The Hamptons.

bring world class talent to a world class location,” Wudyka said. Camp will be held during the week, which could mean an economic boost for East Hampton, since Wudyka expects several hundred people, between the counselors, students, their families and fans, to travel to the area to participate in Dance House USA or watch nightly events. A release heralding the creation of Dance House announced Davis, Horenstein, and Wudyka “came together with one main goal: to give every dedicated dancer access to the dance industry leaders who are interested in helping them develop as artists and achieve success.” Scholarships will be awarded to deserving candidates; dancers who demonstrate excellence and commitment can receive a full year of tuition at their home dance studio or week-long classes at the Edge in Hollywood. The cost for Dance House is little more than a typical local day camp -- $400 for four intensive days that can run from 8 AM to as late as 11 PM including nightly events. Dancers ages six and up can participate in beginner, intermediate or advanced classes. Wudyka revealed a talent scout for the Broadway show Billy Elliot will also be stopping by, on the lookout for young talent. Camp culminates with a Pop-Up Production, where every dancer performs pieces created earlier in the week. The program will also include “In the House,” a live talk show featuring expert panelists and studio performance critiques. “If you’re a dancer, this is like the Super Bowl,” Wudyka observed. There are plans in the works for similar Dance House USA popups in Los Angeles and Miami. It won’t just be young and flexible kids dancing with the professionals. Wudyka, 46, plans to take some lessons, too. “I come from Detroit, so I’ve got a little bit of rhythm,” he said, adding, “How often would I ever get a chance like this? It’s like golfing with Tiger Woods.” Visit DanceHouseUSA.com to learn more. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

On The Road Again By Emily Toy

The Southampton Town Board met with the Unimproved Roads Advisory Committee last Friday afternoon to discuss a new proposal, slated to develop a sustainable unimproved road program that will continuously add roads into the public highway system over time. Currently there are over 500 unimproved or improved but private roads in the Town of Southampton that are not part of the town’s highway system. According to the committee, chaired by John Watson, many of these roads started their residential life as access to seasonal residences. Over the years, as the demographics of Southampton evolved, the roads needed to be utilized more and more on a year round basis. With the increase in usage, the roads became burdened with higher traffic loads, such as school buses and the need to be accessible to emergency services. “We want to have a sustainable program,” Watson said. “We’re just looking to do something small, just a few roads that are constantly being complained about.” Specific issues surrounding the private and unimproved roads include lack of maintenance, resulting in severe road degradation such as large almost impassable potholes, no snowplowing, leaving residents stranded during storms that do not fall under emergency conditions when the town plows most roads, and environmental issues, which include flooding and washouts. The good news is that there are potential solutions. Town law places 100 percent of the improvement cost burden on the street fronting owners. The town will only accept a road into the highway system if it meets with their specifications and at no cost to the township. The problem is that many of the homeowners on the unimproved roads are working poor and fixed income senior citizens who cannot shoulder the burden. “People need help, but they can’t afford help,” Watson said. Councilwoman Bridget Fleming added the “impact of why aren’t these roads improved is wider than for just a few citizens” and Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst noted that “it’s so easy to say ‘we’re going to pave all these roads.’” Throne-Holst mentioned that for most of the roads under discussion there were engineering and

drainage needs that would have to be addressed if the town decided to admit them to the highway system. Councilwoman Christine Scalera noted that different specifics are outlined to specific roads. The committee mentioned that the funding for the program could come from a few different places. Barbara Fair, president of the North Sea Community Association, said that there were federal funds the town board would be able to

www.indyeastend.com

access, although only a maximum of 80 percent of the costs would be covered. The goal of $2 million per mile each year for the program, although ambitious, is something the committee felt could be obtained. The town has about 117 miles of road that are deemed unimproved, with about 11,380 individuals effected. The town board was also reminded of Assemblyman Fred Thiele’s Urban Renewal Substandard Road Zone, established in 2005 to address redevelopment. The town could declare all unimproved roads to be “blighted areas” and designate them as urban renewal areas.

June 27, 2012

Urban renewal funding does not necessarily come with a town match requirement. Watson, along with committee members Frank Palmer, Tony Filorimo and Vince Taldone stressed that it was not the group’s intention to create a federal works project to repair all 500 plus roads at once. They would much rather develop a manageable program to chip away at the private roads that need repair and improvement. “Don’t be scared of the scale of the problem,” Taldone assured the town board. “Once you start, it’s easier.” Emily@indyeastend.com

Peeved About Painted Flag By Kitty Merrill

Is the grand old flag less so when used as a canvas for artistic expression? Some local folks apparently believe so. On Saturday following the opening of an exhibition of new works by the San Francisco-based artist Andrew Schoultz, which included hoisting a tattered and splattered Old Glory outside the Eric Firestone Gallery on Newtown Lane in East Hampton, the pages of

Facebook were ablaze with angry offerings by posters opposed to what they consider desecration of a national symbol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is considered art,â&#x20AC;? Barry Forde from East Hampton asked along with a post displaying one of the gold dripped flags, â&#x20AC;&#x153;find something else to desecrate besides our flag when we all need solidarity.â&#x20AC;? Billy Haven of Springs saw the post and drove upstreet to see the flags for himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was irate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very disrespectful.

I had a brother in Vietnam and my father was in World War II.â&#x20AC;? Asked if he went in to the gallery to ask about the art, or what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to mean, he said simply, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Bonacker, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gotten along.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely any explanation would have appeased. Said Havens, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doing that to the American flag, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no right to it.â&#x20AC;? According to a brochure available at the gallery, the exhibition is comprised of â&#x20AC;&#x153;multiple works focused on the nature of, and visual commentary on the American flag.â&#x20AC;? Schoultz applied thick layers of paint atop actual flags and â&#x20AC;&#x153;gilds his creations in gold and white gold

A receptionist/docent the gallery on Sunday said the gallery had received a number of calls from irate observers. She acknowledged the flag outside the gallery had been removed in deference to communal outcry, and promised a statement from publicists would be in the offing. On Monday, publicists for Schoultz released the following statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the past 10 years I have worked with icons and symbols to create narratives addressing social, economic, and political issues. My intention is always to open a dialogue about these issues. Concerns about our economy led me to use flags and gold in this exhibition, while my wall painting backdrop is intended to convey global economic turbulence. I take great pride in America and this work is wholeheartedly proAmerican. While a viewer may misinterpret the intention of an artist, I encourage the conversation and debate that may result. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Beach House Set To Open By Miles X. Logan

The former Ronjo Motel in Montauk, which was the subject of a bitter political tug-of-war, is fully renovated and officially ready to open. Tomorrow at 4 PM the newly named Montauk Beach House will be the sight of a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Chris Jones and Larry Seidlick, the owners, will host the affair. The guest of honor will be East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson. Local Democrats accused the Republican-dominated town board of pulling strings to get the project up and running. Zack Cohen, who unsuccessfully ran for supervisor on the Democratic ticket last fall, went so far as to suggest some sort

of collusion took place. His charge prompted Town Attorney John Jilnicki to ask the Suffolk District Attorney to investigate the allegation, and the town was ultimately given a clean bill of health, and Cohen was reprimanded. The luxury resort â&#x20AC;&#x153;represents the best of classic and modern Montauk in a design collaboration by hotel visionary Jones and creative director Walt Linveld,â&#x20AC;? according to a press release. The former Ronjo has been converted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;an eclectic mix of chic style with relaxed beach vibe across 33 individually designed guestrooms and exclusive No. 50 beach club membership,â&#x20AC;? according

RICK’S SPACE The Hitchhiker Nowadays we think of hitchhikers as poor people, often homeless, and we think of those who pick them up as perverts or psychopaths. When we were growing up in Sag Harbor it wasn’t that way. Hitchhiking was a perfectly legitimate form of transportation, especially for a teenager too young to have a driver’s license. More often than not you’d know the person who picked you up, and vice versa. “Is that a pack of cigarettes in your pocket, Rickey?” “Yes, Ma’am.” “Your father wouldn’t be very happy to know you smoke, would he?” “No, Ma’am.” “Then throw them away.” Of course, my father would be doubly mad, since I probably stole the pack from him to begin with. When I was 14 I began caddying at Maidstone Golf Club. Once we

hitched a ride to the club we’d retire to the caddyshack, flip coins, eat hot dogs, drink soda, and pretty much spend whatever we made the day before. Big Eddie, the caddy master, would eventually bellow for one of us to take a “loop” which entailed carrying two 80 pound bags for four hours for ten bucks. If he liked you -- or if you were skinny and fast, like me, you’d get a “cart loop,” which meant all you had to do was run behind the electric golf carts. I hung around with my friend Craig, who was “from the city.” Normally first year caddies had to undergo a hazing – sending a newbie to the 18th hole with no clothes on to steal the flag was a frequent event. Craig informed the older caddies that if they tried to haze either one of us he would stab them in the chest with his push-button switchblade, so no one ever bothered us. All the country kids thought all city

kids carried knives. We did all kinds of wacky things in the caddyshack. We used to have a running pool: guess which hole one of the old caddies would die on. Sure enough one day Old Pete (not his real name) dropped dead on the fifth hole and a caddy named Billy pocketed over 180 bucks. Sometimes we’d go through the parking lot, find a car with keys in it, make a run to the Snow Flake for ice cream, and then bring it back. Craig was a big kid. When Eddie summoned him he’d yell, “Let’s go mule train!” He’d then burden him with the heaviest bags you’ve ever seen. Craig, who was extraordinarily lazy, (as was I), would bristle. The golfers would ask their caddies for advice, like the pros do. They’d say stuff like, “You think I can get there with a six?” That meant a six-iron. Once one of the hoity-toity members asked Craig if he should hit a three wood or a four wood. “How the f**k do I know,” Craig replied. That was the end of our bagcarrying days, though we continued to hitch to Maidstone every day because we realized we could make as much money pitching quarters with the local kids as we could carrying 80-pound bags. Once my friend Steven and I hitched all the way to Riverhead to see the Rascals at the Riverhead movie theater one afternoon. I didn’t realize how far away it was, and it was getting dark by the time

I got home, but we made it. In the late sixties I used to hitchhike from Brooklyn all the way to Sag Harbor and then back home. There was something invigorating about walking to the Flatbush Avenue Extension and putting your thumb out, knowing before the day was done you’d be in Sag Harbor. One Sunday night, though, I got stuck at the entrance to the Southern State and couldn’t get a ride until midnight. It finally occurred to me I might be getting too old for that sort of thing and anyway, I was about to get my driver’s license. From then on I used to drive out to Sag Harbor. I always picked up hitchhikers, just like someone always picked me up. Once I saw a woman hitchhiking (an attractive one, too), and I pulled onto the median to turn around – she was going the opposite way I was, but like I said, she was pretty good-looking. Before I could maneuver around to the other side of the highway a cop came up along side of me. “You’re going to pick up that hitchhiker?” “Yeah,” I said. “Do yourself a favor – Don’t!” and then he wheeled away. A couple weeks later I read in Newsday that a female hitchhiker who had been robbing “johns” at knifepoint was finally apprehended. It was the same woman. She robbed me of my innocence, though – my hitchhiking days ended forever that day.

EDITORIAL Freedom On Saturday morning the sun broke sharply but without the humidity that characterized much of the previous week. Instead, we were treated to a perfect East End weekend: warm, clear, the water glistening, flowers and plants reaching for the sky. Birds were chirping happily; kids frolicked in the water and in the parks. Sun worshippers were in full bloom. Corny? Not at all. This is paradise, and we live here. The glorious weekend was one of many we’re likely to enjoy this summer. We take it for granted. On July Fourth we celebrate our freedom. It’s a day to take a moment to ponder just how lucky we are. There are very few people who enjoy the beauty and freedom that we do. Many countries are run by oppressive regimes. Many others are so poor, food is scarce, and millions of people are starving. It’s no accident we are blessed with so much. Over

Independent VOICES We Have A Winner Dear Rick, I am proud to announce that my wife Dahlia competed in the Empire State Games last week. The yearly tournament included several sports, including tennis, and was held last week on the campus of SUNY Cortland. Dahlia had trained very hard over the last several months and all the hard work paid off when she won the championship in her division. In the process of winning first place, Dahlia completed an impressive and unprecedented feat. She did not lose a single game in the entire tournament! Although there were many impressive victories in the week-long games, no one was more dominant in her sport than Dahlia. On behalf of my entire family, I would like to congratulate her for her dedication to her sport and for her

the centuries our country has been tested many times by those who would rob us of our freedom. A special breed of American has always been there to answer our call, to fight for our rights. July Fourth is Independence Day. It celebrates our Declaration Of Independence in 1776, but it’s more than that – it’s the realization that because of the brave men and women of our armed forces we intend to keep our freedom forever. That comes with a price, and the graves in our national cemeteries attest to that. Enjoy the parades, fireworks and barbecues. Get to the beach and soak up some sun. Life is good, and we are extremely fortunate. Let’s never forget the men and women who made, and continue to make it all possible.

incredible achievement. Because of her first-place finish in New York State, she has been invited to participate in next year’s National Tournament to be held in Ohio. GEORGE AMAN

Accurate Picture Dear Rick, I need to respond to last week’s article regarding the internal audit being conducted of the East Hampton Town’s Information Technology (IT) function. The article falls short in many respects and additional information is needed to present a more accurate picture of events leading up to the initiation of the audit. 1.) The existence of the “Internal Audit Division” was certainly known to the Town Board long before the IT survey was distributed on June 13. On March 21, 2012 at 10:30AM an e-mail was sent from the Town’s Chief Auditor Charlene Kagel to every Town Board member that said, among other things, “The newly created internal audit division has conducted an audit of town wide Departmental Petty Cash Funds.” Peter Van Scoyoc responded, “Thanks

Charlene, Glad to read that the petty cash is generally safe, secure, and where it is supposed to be. Peter.” Internal audit not known to exist to the Town Board? I think your story may have missed something as this e-mail clearly shows the Town Board not only knew about the Internal Audit Division long before the IT audit began, but was also engaged in a dialogue on its activities. (Copy of e-mails attached). 2.) Resolution 2012-198 (February 21, 2012) did, among other things, appoint Charlene Kagel “Chief Auditor who will lead an Auditing and Accounting Unit within the purview of the Budget Office.” In a package of information I distributed to the Town Board on February 28, 2012 the duties of the Auditing and Accounting Unit were described in detail. Included was the following language: “The new unit [Auditing and Accounting] will conduct internal audits and reviews of operations in the different departments on a rotating basis as well as respond to specific areas of inquiry by the Town Board. The Chief Auditor will also coordinate with the town’s Audit Committee (to be formed over the next several months) to receive

June 27, 2012

direction on what areas to scrutinize.” The description of this new Auditing and Accounting Unit included divisions of internal audit, grants, and accounting. Again, the internal audit function was described to the Town Board in detail over three months before the IT audit was initiated. Your article missed this important fact. (Resolution attached) 3.) Resolution 2012-349 (April 5, 2012), which adopted the reorganization of the Human Resources/Grants functions, stated, “Transfer the Grants Analyst from the Information Technology Office to the Audit and Accounting Unit under the supervision of the Chief Auditor.” Obviously there had to be an Auditing and Accounting Unit in existence in order to complete the transfer of the Grants Analyst. This was the fourth time the audit function was contained in either a resolution, correspondence or information distributed to the Town Board over a 45 day period prior to the IT audit. 4.) The article implies the department heads were unaware of the internal audit function, something you confirmed to me in an e-mail. This is a little hard to understand because 13 departments were reviewed as part of that petty cash fund internal audit described above. All of these departments knew that an internal audit was being conducted of their petty cash funds. In addition, the IT department head was briefed by the Chief Auditor one week prior to the distribution of the IT survey to explain the audit. The internal audit function really should not have been a surprise to many, if any. 5.) Another implication in the article was the IT survey (questionnaire) was the entirety of the audit. That is just silly. The audit guidelines were drafted by the audit team (independent of any Town Board member or influence) three weeks before the survey was distributed and includes many other audit tasks in addition to the survey. The IT Director knew this because the audit plan was explained to him on CONTINUED ON PAGE 34.

June 8th. I have attached a copy of the audit plan that includes six other major tasks and 13 sub tasks in addition to the survey. Your article missed the fact that the survey was just one part of the overall internal audit and that other information and analyses will be performed leading up to the conclusions and recommendations that will be contained in a final report. 6.) Surveys are recommended as an important internal audit tool by the Government Financial Officers Association. One can go to their website to ascertain this fact. 7.) The cover letter that was distributed with the survey was reviewed, edited and approved by Charlene via e-mail before it went out. Charlene’s signature was not on the letter because she was in Chicago attending a professional finance officer conference. No Town Board member reviewed the letter or even saw the letter before it went out. Internal audits are independent efforts. 8.) The survey itself was drafted by the audit team and approved by Charlene, again with no review by any Town Board member. As was the case with the cover letter, the survey was not seen by any Town Board member before it was distributed. Any implication in the article that the Supervisor or some other Town Board member had any input to the letter or survey is absolutely false. And as stated above, to keep the audit independent, there was no Town Board input on the audit guidelines. Charlene and I did receive an e-mail from your reporter on the Monday (at 9:17 AM) before the Tuesday the article appeared online referencing the IT survey. I was flying back from California on that day and Charlene was not in the office. A little more than 12 hours notice would have allowed us to provide all the information above that would have certainly made the article more balanced and accurate at a minimum and less of what turned out to be an opinion piece at a maximum. One last point – the newly established internal audit function as we move forward, and over the long term, will be what our town needs to ensure effective management, transparent management and cost efficiency irrespective of what party holds the majority on the Town Board. It is a good thing. Any individual or group that opposes that does not deserve to be considered in any serious discussion of good government. LEN BERNARD

Lora Nelson You shouldn’t be forced to buy insurance. And certainly not if costs can’t be controlled. I’m a sole proprietor and healthcare is so expensive it’s ridiculous. Astronomical. It’s a person’s right to decide. I don’t think government should dictate that choice. Johanna Creighton I’m torn. I’m from Canada. On one hand it’s the responsibility of a person to cover their health care. But in Canada healthcare is paid for by taxes, and that spreads the cost more evenly and fairly between everyone. What I really believe in is socialized healthcare. Erasmus Finnila No. I think people should take care of their own healthcare. There should be a carrot and a whip. People who take steps to stay healthy, who don’t smoke, don’t drink too much, watch their weight and exercise, should pay less than people who make less effort. Richard Andermatt I’m Swiss and I can’t believe up until now there has not been compulsory insurance here. We are required to buy basic insurance and then the rest is as you choose. You can buy more expensive insurance to have more choice in doctors or a single room in the hospital.

Low Altitude Dear Editor, A beautiful Friday, June 22, was completely spoiled as we were assaulted by the sound of approximately 25 helicopters on their approach to the East Hampton Airport. In addition, there were multiple jets, one seaplane in tandem with a twin engine, and another “pair” of planes . . . specifically a Beech Baron and another prop plane. Each aircraft was easily identifiable due to low altitudes. The noise levels were so loud it was impossible to converse with family members while outside. Inside, our windows shut, the noise was still intolerable and you could feel the house shake. Thirty years ago I purchased a parcel of land on which to build our home because it was far from noise of any kind. Our son was raised in this home. Near the cherished Northwest Trails, the solitude of surrounding preserved lands, and Chatfield’s Pond; we chose the land specifically because of these attributes. Our family slept in peace and quiet; bullfrogs, owls, woodpeckers, and other creatures the only sounds we heard. We enjoyed our peace and quiet for many years. If we heard any aircraft at all, it was

most likely a small plane, far away in the distance. Three years ago our lives changed. An approaching seaplane, at an excessively low altitude, roaring as it came toward our home, terrified me enough to make me run for cover as I felt it was crashing on our roof. I went to the airport to report this incident and discovered the route for aircraft had been changed and our home was now in the direct path of incoming and outgoing aircraft traffic. The Town of East Hampton’s elected officials response to our and our community members who also suffer the onslaught of aircraft noise disturbance, is to install a tower that will purportedly curtail noise as they insist it will spread the aircraft traffic to all areas, thus we will all “share” these egregious aircraft assaults. Nothing could be more absurd than this suggestion. Their solution is as ridiculous as the “Emperor’s New Clothes.” More aircraft traffic means more noise. It is that simple. The Town and certain special interest groups don’t want you to see it this way so they repeatedly attempt to manipulate and obfuscate the truth so they can give away our rights to ownership CONTINUED ON PAGE 35.

of the airport and hand it over to the FAA, a large government agency whose agenda does not include our desire for peace and quiet. Maintaining ownership of the airport by the Town of East Hampton is essential if we are to combat the noise problem. From the North Fork to the South Fork, it is the increase in aircraft that is the culprit. Specifically, but not limited to, helicopters whose owners are but the top 1 percent of our community members. It is to those select few travelers that our town administrators seem to be committed, not the everyday working family/person of our communities. Although the town officials would like all of us to believe the tower, or the opening of a third runway, will help with noise abatement they are wrong. The tower and additional runway will serve only to encourage more, not less, air traffic. It defies common logic to think otherwise. If the town administrators ignore the people and our right to enjoy a peaceful setting, which by the way is why many of us moved here in the first place, then all of us will soon see our unique communities become urbanized. Short term, with the FAA in control, the Town of East Hampton will lose its inherent rural charm and real estate will continue to feel the impact. To provide those one percent who wish to arrive here as fast as possible to enjoy “their” Hamptons, we will all lose. Long term, the legacy the current administration leaves behind will impact all of us for decades to come. Many who advocate for expansion will soon find they no longer qualify to fly as they age so perhaps they don’t care about the havoc they have brought to the many effected communities. East Hampton Town is either being misinformed by counsel, or, is willfully sacrificing our rights to enjoy what we all cherish . . . peace and quiet for the one percent. To all my neighbors in every hamlet, North or South Fork, I urge you to understand this affects everyone and will for generations to come. To my neighbors in all communities: I urge everyone to make use of the airport hotline: 537-LOUD and contact Quiet Skies Coalition for more information: www. quietskiescoalition.com. Lastly, for the record; I was taught to fly as a young girl by my father. I love to fly and come from a family of pilots. I am very glad we have a small town airport . . . let’s keep it that way.

Scratchy Record Dear Rick, Our resident emperor, you know, he of the 15 vote landslide victory, continues his condescending ways. This time in a response to a valid question from Mr. Van Scoyoc. A staff satisfaction survey, sent out and to be returned to a phantom division? What the hell is this? I guess this exists in the corporate world of the Magic Kingdom. A repeat of his letter that was enclosed with paychecks? Wilkinson’s snarky reply was to send his resume. I guess he forgot that tune has been played like a scratchy record and everyone forgot the dozens of times he has reminded us of his accomplishments. We do not need to be constantly reminded of how big a fish he “used to be,” but it shows just how small a man he is. Well, that falls in the “used to be” column. He once reminded me that he looked up a definition. Well plain and simple “used to be” is just that. Like Brando decried . . . “I coulda been a contender.” What again is plain and simple, Winkinson, appears to have a nasty side to him as well. I once offered him my copy of E.O. Wilson’s, “Administration,” a guide. He could’ve learned the real effective way to manage, but he never accepted it because he knows all. The code is to lead by example! He doesn’t know how to! ARTHUR J. FRENCH

Fix The Problem Dear Rick, Immigration is a big word. It’s a big problem. I say forget about it. The immigrants are here already – why all the fighting? We are all from immigrant stock, and that turned out OK, remember? How? We left the gate open. No one was minding the store, and it’s too late now. What we can do is fix it. There are many,

many illegal immigrants here now. I say leave them alone, because once you stand on American soil you should have a path to citizenship. We should help them with a decent program to head them towards their goal. I also say enough is enough. No more. Remember, you can’t milk a cow if it has already run out of the barn! Wake up America, and stop wasting time on this subject. Get a grip on the problem and fix it – that’s what we’ve always done. We can do this. DIANNE BALDUCCI

Corporate Personhood Dear Independent, Going once, going twice, SOLD; the State of Wisconsin to the highest bidder, the Koch brothers and their fellow BBs, (Billionaire Benefactors).

Scott Walker’s puppeteers outspent Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett $31 million to $4 million, at 8:1; they are assured a prolific future return on their investment. This abominable distortion of our electoral system was made possible by the disgraceful Citizens United decision, which morphed “Corporations” into “Persons,” by the four conservative justices on the Supreme Court. This allows a corporation’s “Person” as freedom of speech, to donate as much money as they choose to candidates of their choice. Yes, these are the same Conservative judges, legislating, that were nominated by Republican administrations. That is the same Party which constantly decried that Judges nominated by a Democratic administration would legislate from the bench. They give emphasis to the term, hypocrisy.

The Milwaukee debacle is merely a precursor of the 2012 general election where Conservatives and their brokers in the secret Super Pacs, plan to spend 1 billion dollars to buy the Presidential election. That is more than 32 times what it cost to buy Wisconsin but less for each of the 50 states to buy the presidency. This is possibly due to the futility of trying to dupe the voters in the more enlightened Coastal States such as New York and California, at least the majority of the voters. This lamentable Citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United decision has made a mockery of our once proud electoral system. JOHN MOLNAR

Outrageous Decision Dear Rick, The U.S. Supreme Court in all its infinite unbiased wisdom decided by a 4-3 vote that corporations and unions are people and as such, have free speech and since money talks can contribute as much â&#x20AC;&#x153;speechâ&#x20AC;? as they like towards the candidate of their choice making voting and buying synonymous. As an aside, anyone that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t noticed the funds of the ever shrinking unions and those of the exponentially growing corporations has been vacationing on another planet, but that is secondary. One man (or woman), one vote is and has been our process of electing our leaders and it had worked pretty well for some time (electoral college being the one deviation and hopefully will one day be abolished). This outrageous decision by the Robertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court will go down in history as the most blatantly politically biased decision

IN THE NEWS

and hopefully will lead to term limits and elections for these untouchables. There have been a number of voices that should be considered which are not coming from the Left Wing. Senator McCain stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there will be scandals associated with the worst decision of the United States Supreme Court in the 21st century.â&#x20AC;? He also said that allowing such an incredible amount of money to enter political races opens the door for corruption and foreign influence. But what does an aging military hero, almost President, know about integrity of our country? Besides, he along with the likes of Richard Lugar, Bob Bennett, Orin Hatch and such will soon be relics. That is because they got things done by deeds which are now considered despicable, terms as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compromise,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working across the aisle,â&#x20AC;? all of which have been supplanted with obstruction and â&#x20AC;&#x153;NO,â&#x20AC;? even to their own Ideas when espoused by â&#x20AC;&#x153;OBAMA.â&#x20AC;? Then there is retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. He was nominated during a Republican administration by Gerald Ford. On January 27, 2010, in his State of the Union address, President Obama declared: â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think American elections should be bankrolled by Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities.â&#x20AC;? Justice Stevens, a past guardian of American law, stepped forward and agreed with President Obama on all scores and urged the U.S. Supreme Court to explicitly explain why the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words were â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not Trueâ&#x20AC;? as Justice Samuel Alito famously mouthed on camera, breaking Justicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; usual stoic appearance during any presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual speech. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disgracefully mouthedâ&#x20AC;? is a less gentle but far more accurate description. Let us hope that after reassessing the Un-American implications and repercussions of their lamentable decision, patriotism will overpower partisanship. NICHOLAS ZIZELIS

although Georgica suffered noticeable damage, “The beach has really improved. I think the lifeguards should come back because they’re usually here and we expect them to be here.” East Hampton Village Administrator Larr y Cantwell responded with optimistic, although somewhat ambiguous news last Friday. “It’s likely as of today, due to the improved conditions, that we will reopen Georgica with lifeguards in the very near future.” Monday, the village made it official: Georgica Beach is opening Friday, just in time for the July Fourth weekend.

Hurricane Irene struck last August the beach has been officially closed because of severe erosion. Due to the conditions, the lifeguards relocated from Georgica to Wyborg Beach, just east of Main Beach at the start of the season. But the fact that Georgica was officially closed didn’t deter beachgoers, and more than a few were irked to find no lifeguards on duty. Last weekend one resident said she “does not mind about the lifeguards moving, but if I had young kids, I wouldn’t want them in the water.” Another local insisted that

Men’s Lives Our Bay Men’s fight for survival llustration by B.T. Whitehill

The county parks commissioner feels it’s totally justified, but local lawmakers say it’s nothing but a money grab by a financiallystrapped administration. Last week, the East End Supervisors and Mayors Association passed a unanimous resolution in opposition to new “twilight” fees Suffolk County voted to enact on June 19. They rebuked the measure charging $4 to park at Cupsogue, Meschutt, and Smith Point County Beaches after 5 PM. Cupsogue Beach is located in Westhampton, Meschutt in Hampton Bays, and Smith Point is in the Mastic/ Shirley area. “This fee is an unfair, regressive penalty imposed on the ordinary citizen,” said Association President Jim Dougherty, Shelter Island Supervisor. “Many visitors and residents use the beaches after hours and it is unfortunate that only beaches in eastern Suffolk County are being targeted. This fee will certainly impose financial burdens on business owners who operate concessions; parking fees may deter families and young people from frequenting the beaches as much as they are used to.” S o u t h Fo r k L e g i s l a t o r J a y Schneiderman, who voted no on the measure sponsored by County Executive Steve Bellone, complained the new fee wasn’t reviewed by the County Parks Trustees, as is customary when any fee is changed or proposed at a county park or beach. Legislator Ed Romaine commented, “This is an unjustified fee that was never run past the Parks Trustees nor the Legislature’s Parks and Recreation Committee. This last minute resolution nickel and dimes our county residents and should be set aside.” “Imposing fees at the last minute, without any public comment or review just as children are finishing with school and the summer is about to begin is unfortunate,” said Gary Vegliante, Mayor of the Village of West Hampton Dunes. County Parks Commissioner G r e g Dawson, who w a s j u s t recently appointed, explained the suddenness of the move. The committee doesn’t meet again until August, meaning the summer would be over before the new fee could be adopted. Dawson explained the need for

will undoubtedly impose financial burdens for East End families and residents who should have the right to enjoy some of the recreation opportunities the County has to offer without being charged every time you want to do something,” said Westhampton Beach Village Mayor Conrad Teller. Schneiderman’s not ready to accept the new fee. “I have reached out to the administration and requested that the new fee not be imposed,” he said, “I am working with the administration on developing an alternative plan.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Local Psychic Makes Good

By Joe Labriola

Jim Fargiano seems like a pretty normal guy. He lives in his hometown of East Quogue. He has a dog. He is a lifelong Mets fan. There is nothing regular about what he does for a living, however. Over the past 19 years, Fargiano has come to embrace psychic abilities that he stumbled upon when his local stationary store failed and he began meditating to cope with his stress. Now an author, medium, and spiritual guide, Fargiano has just completed his second book, Stepping Beyond The Boundaries, which is due to be published by the end of the year. Yet even now, he said, “They’re already talking to me about more books.” Twenty years ago if you had asked

the young, entrepreneurial-minded storeowner what he thought he would be doing with his life today, the title “spiritual medium” would not have been his first guess. “I never meditated,” Fargiano said as he shrugged. “I was just firmly entrenched with this business mindset my whole life.” But when a friend suggested that he try some of the relaxation techniques in the book, Creative Visualizations by Shakti Gawain, Fargiano felt compelled to read the sections on how to meditate. At first he was unconvinced that these metaphysical exercises would help him to cope with his real world problems. “I was actually laughing to myself because it sounded so hokey to me, the whole meditation

REAL ESTATE

thing,” Fargiano said with a chuckle. But pretty soon, his attitude on meditation changed. “So I tried the meditation out, and all I’m seeing are things floating around; different shapes, images, pictures of things. It reminded me of stuff that I would see when I was going to sleep when I was younger. I just thought that everybody saw that stuff.” Instead of relaxing him, those first meditations and the images that followed him wherever he went made him wonder if he were going insane. “I was like, oh great, on top of everything else that’s stressing me out, am I losing my mind?” But the more Fargiano meditated, the more he grew to accept the fact that he was experiencing a great change of his mind and soul. “I could feel something happen,” he said, explaining his spiritual awakening. “Like this massive stream of white light . . . the one I’m

seeing right now while I’m talking. It was like, at that moment, I knew that everything that was going wrong with my life was going to be fine. This peace just kind of came over me.” Fargiano has done private readings for thousands of people; he claims he connects them with their loved ones on the other side. He has helped answer lingering questions for family members in search of making peace with those who have passed on, he said. But there is one question that he still asks to this day. Why me? “I actually asked spirit that question a lot,” Fargiano said before sighing, “especially in the beginning, and the response has always been the same. They needed somebody, quote unquote, ‘normal’ to carry their message.” He chuckled. “I’m just kind of a regular schmo.” These purposes are consistent with the reasons why Fargiano wrote his first book, The Spoken Words of Spirit, comprised mostly of his channeled messages from the other side. “I was probably told about almost right out of the gate when I started getting messages that I was going to be writing books. And it took a long time for that [first] one to finally come into print.” A few years ago he realized the time to publish had come. “It was almost like a big voice saying, ‘Alright, it’s time to get this done.’ It all just pulled together very easily.” “The second book is really just a compilation from the blog I do, with a little interaction between some of the messages about what I might have been going through and feeling at that time.” The point of the book is much like that of the first one. “They want to get the message out that God, and spirit, and our loved ones on the other side are just as accessible, or let’s just say, are more accessible than people believe.” Fargiano holds weekly meditation meetings at his local church where he collects non-perishables for the local food pantry, channels messages from the other side and leads prayers. He does private readings daily and is about to launch his new website: spiritualgrowthproducts. com.

Trash On The Beaches

Volunteers Take On The Cleaning Chores By Sergei Klebnikov

There are all kinds of trash on beaches, either the kind that washes ashore, which can’t be controlled – and the kind left by people, which can. Though local municipalities clean the beaches periodically,

residents and volunteers often take on the chore. Jennifer Hartnagel, senior environmental advocate at the Group for the East End, said, “People who live near beaches often take it upon themselves to clean up trash along our beaches.” Numerous

volunteer programs exist, and The Group helps recruit volunteers to clean up, she added. Officer Kim Long, who patrols East Hampton Village beaches, does a 6 PM to midnight shift. She “sees people all the time picking up trash and going out of their way to help,”

STRESS FREE LIVING IN A WATERFRONT CONDOMINIUM Here’s the perfect “Home for All Seasons.” Located in nearby beautiful Westhampton Beach, this top-floor 2-bedroom, 2 bath Yardarm condo is elegant. From the extra-large deck overlooking Moriches Bay to the customized space-saving built-ins, it is a step above the best. Private ocean beach, two pools, three Har-Tru tennis courts, and 24/7 on-site professional management leaves you free to enjoy your investment. $860,000

but she added, “People need to be more aware of how they treat this resource.” Officer Long has never caught anyone littering first hand. Tom Tailer, a sand sculptor, said he has visited many beaches around the world. Compared to some beaches he’s seen, Tailer said that the beaches here are “relatively clean.” People in this community have a “strong environmental ethic,” he commented. There are “people here who love the beach and clean it up.” A t I n d i a n We l l s B e a c h i n Amagansett, there are only eight trashcans clumped together at the entrance to the beach -inconvenient for some beach goers. Leonida Karpik, a regular Indian Wells beach goer, said he has been involved with trying to keep the beach clean for three years “I pick up every little thing I can,” she said. But, she said, the town ignores calls for a cleaner beach. John Ryan Sr., the head of the junior lifeguard program at Indian Wells, said, “a beautiful beach doesn’t deserve garbage.” From the first day of his Junior Life-guard program, Ryan instructs his kids not to litter. Isadore Seltzer has been living next to Sagaponack beach for almost 50 years. He finds that, “people aren’t doing enough” for this “amazing place.” Too often, he says, “people forget themselves while on the beach, and leave their stuff.” According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), there are 13,000 pieces of litter per square kilometer of our oceans. “The beaches are our pride and joy. If we don’t take care of them, we have nothing,” Karpik said.

By Sue Hansen Heaven must be missing an angel because all little Priscilla is missing is a halo and wings. She is a cocker spaniel, small, only 22 pounds, seven years young and as sweet as they come. Priscilla is a bundle of love and great with people, dogs and cats. It is unfathomable that she was at risk for medical euthanasia at a local shelter because of an ear infection – a common malady with this breed. Fortunately, Linda, an RSVP volunteer was contacted and knew

this was a manageable problem. Priscilla is taking her ear medicine like a trooper and doing fine. RSVP is looking for a foster or forever home for this sweetheart. Please call 631-728-3524 or visit www.rsvpinc. org for more info.

East Hampton Village

Chamber Orchestra Performance In the festive spirit of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee in June and the late-July opening of the Olympic Games in London, the Choral Society of the Hamptons is devoting its summer concert to music with a regal English theme. On July 7, at 7 PM, in the airconditioned parish hall of Most Holy Trinity Church on Route 114, the Society, the South Fork Chamber Orchestra, and soloists with worldwide reputations in opera and cabaret will perform Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass, two Handel Coronation Anthems that have echoes of his “Messiah,” and a Sinfonia from Handel’s oratorio “Solomon” dramatizing the Queen of Sheba’s entrance into the wealth and splendor of Solomon’s court. A proper British high tea before the concert, with sandwiches, rose wine donated by Channing Daughters Winery, and rounds of Pimm’s Cup, the British refresher enjoyed at occasions like the Wimbledon tennis matches, will raise funds for the Society. The tea runs from 4:30 to 6:30 PM at The Living Room restaurant at the Maidstone hotel, across from Town Pond. Information on both the tea and tickets for the concert is at the Society’s website, www. ChoralSocietyoftheHamptons.org. The Choral Society of the Hamptons, now in its 66th year, is a community organization of singers from the North and South Forks of Long Island who are committed to performing a wide range of music for local audiences to high standards at modest prices with noted directors and exemplary instrumentalists and soloists. Supported by donations as well as ticket revenues, it provides scholarship aid to local high school musicians and performs in nursing homes and other local institutions. Recent performances have included Lukas Foss’s “The Prairie” and the Brahms Requiem.

Flanders

Food Market Opening Once again Southampton Town is opening the Farm Fresh Food Market, which provides access to fresh, affordable fruits and vegetables to residents of Flanders, Riverside, and Northampton at the Crohan Community Center on CR 24. The market will again be run by area youth who will receive training in local agriculture, food handling, business management, customer service, and other viable job related skills. Seven participating farms in the Town of Southampton will be providing the produce: Country Garden, Halsey Farm & Nursery, Halseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Thumb of Water Mill, Lisa & Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fresh Vegetables, Milk Pail, Pike Farms, and Sagaponack Potato Co. The market accepts cash, EBT, WIC and Senior FMNP checks. Project Ventureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Playground Project, a committee comprised of town officials and Flanders community members will also be holding a car wash on Saturday at the same time and location as the market, to raise funds to build a playground at Iron Point Park. The hamlets of Flanders, Riverside, and Northampton suffer from lack of local supermarkets, as well as access to the fresh fruit

events from Saturday through Tuesday. The performers will be F Eddie Ayala and East End Trio. New this season, Corey Creek

and vegetable markets more readily available in the rest of Southampton. The closest supermarkets are located in Riverhead Town, along CR 58, or in Hampton Bays, on Montauk Highway; neither location is easily accessible to those without private transportation. In a survey performed at the market last year, 38 percent of customers said that the market increased how often they ate fruits and vegetables.

June 27, 2012

Vineyards offers an expanded selection of food choices during performances. For more information call 631-765-4168.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica

Hurricanes May Miss Us, But They Leave Deadly Rip Tides Hurricane season is in gear. Debby is piling up water along the Florida Gulf coast right now – and will head into the Atlantic after that. This column is about rip tides, rip currents and undertows – which are what distant storms leave us. Lest one of us comes to grief.

Undertow v Rip Tide Anybody that has ever been to a beach understands undertow. It is the backwash as gravity returns a breaking wave to the sea. All but small children can stand against it – and its effect ends at the leading edge of the next breaking wave. While it might knock you down and thus “suck” you under, it won’t pull you out to sea. Our mothers didn’t know that because they confused undertow with rip tides and rip currents. A rip tide is the result of tides and the egress and ingress of large volumes of water flowing through inlets, estuaries, and bays. As facts would have it, most people don’t swim near inlets or where bays meet the sea. They swim near beaches, where sand bars often form, and where rip currents, “the killer current,” form in concert. The Anatomy of a Rip Current Rip currents are by far the biggest killers of ocean swimmers. Rip currents form as waves disperse

along the beach causing water to become trapped between the beach and a sandbar or other underwater feature. This water becomes the “feeder” that creates the deadly force of the rip current. The water converges into a narrow, river-like channel moving away from the shore at high speed. Marine scientists define a rip current as having a “neck” (the river-like channel moving away from the shore) and a “head” that is often defined by an unusual disturbance or choppiness in the water and by murky discoloration caused by sand and debris. As the water, and swimmer, reaches the “head,” the velocity and strength of the rip current circulation begins to weaken considerably. Rip currents are often visible. As a result of the current’s speed, sand is forced into suspension, often causing a rip current to be associated with “dirty” water. It is characterized by a strong, localized current flowing seaward from the shore; visible as an agitated band of water, which is the return movement of water piled up on the shore by incoming waves.

Getting Out Of A Rip Current If you don’t panic, and play the water’s power to your advantage, yes, you can escape a rip current. Don’t try to swim back to shore

against the rip current that is dragging you out. Most likely, you will tire beyond recovery and drowning, flatly put, will follow as surely as night follows day. Swim with and across the rip current. Let it give you some speed – as you “exit, stage left!” Or right – but get out of the grip of the current and into “normal” water. Then, deal with the hand you’ve been dealt – swim back, or just tread water while waving your arms

for help, or just float and rest. This is why swimming with a “buddy system” is so critical . . . We may miss Debby. But she isn’t done with us yet.

Yankees Overreliance On Long Ball If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recently settled in during a beautiful night on the East End and watched five minutes of a Yankee telecast, you know the Bronx Bombers are living up to their nickname. New York leads the majors in home runs with 110 on the season. They have scored over

50 percent of their runs using the long ball. As we near the halfway mark of the season, this formula has helped propel the Yankees into first place in the rugged AL East. While thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question the Yankees can keep themselves atop the division with

this style of play, there should be some concerns over whether this can lead them to another World Series championship. The Yankees field the oldest team in baseball and play in a home park that was ranked fourth in 2011 in number of home runs hit per game (1.267). Combine that with a lineup of sluggers and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable why this team relies so much on the long ball. Yet it appears the Yankees have neglected some of the other ways to score runs that can be especially helpful in postseason play. The Yankees are sixth worst in baseball in stolen bases and have a team batting average of .259, good for tenth in the game. While a team like the Texas Rangers also crushes the ball (third in home runs), they have a more balanced approach, leading the majors in hits and placing fifth in doubles. The Yankees are first in home runs, but are twelfth in hits and fourteenth in doubles. The Yankees reliance on the home run isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad thing in May, June, and July, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to raise questions about this formula for success in October. When the quality of pitching picks up in the playoffs, teams need to generate runs in different ways. The likelihood of the Yankees

blasting multiple home runs off such aces as Jared Weaver, David Price, and Justin Verlander decreases dramatically. The Yankees are third worst in number of sacrifice bunts. There are only a couple players in the Yankee lineup Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d trust to lay down a sacrifice bunt in a big spot in October. The ironic thing about this Yankee team is they have talent that would make fans believe they could play small ball if they desired. They rank in the top five in walks and on-base-percentage and rank in the bottom third of the league in strikeouts. That sounds like a team that is simply more content waiting for the long ball, rather than a team that has no choice but to rely on it. If so, that falls on the shoulders of manager Joe Girardi. Girardi could improve his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s October chances by implementing some small-ball tactics during the regular season. Yes, Joe has won a World Series with this squad, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not getting any younger or faster, and the home run has become a crutch for this group. Last fall the Yankees lost to the Detroit Tigers in the American League Division Series. But they also lost the overall home run battle in the series, 6-4. In the 2010 American League Championship Series the Yankees lost to the Texas Rangers, who out-homered them 9-7. The last playoff series the Yankees won was the 2010 ALDS against the Minnesota Twins and they hit twice as many home runs as the Twins. October baseball is a different animal, and sometimes teams need to figure out a way to manufacture runs. This Yankee team sits in first place and appears headed for another October of baseball. But to get back to the World Series and win, the offense will need to become more diverse. Chicks dig the long ball, but playoff baseball doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

FANTASY SP

RTS

By Skippy Brown

Good Running Backs Are Hard To Find Last week we discussed how NFL quarterbacks are throwing the ball more often than ever before. Conversely, running plays are decreasing – and so is the fantasy value of many running backs. The numbers back up the trend. A few years ago the top 10 rushers averaged about 330 carries. Two seasons ago it was 310. Last season the average was about 280. More and more teams are splitting carries with two or more backs in the mix, ruining the fantasy value of all of them. Many others use a third down back – that’s the guy who comes in when it is obvious the team is going to pass the ball. These receivers are typically good receivers and/or good blockers – but they rarely carry the ball. Let’s take a look at this year’s class. First, the studs, those guys who are workhorses, play nearly every down, and will get you great numbers as long as they are healthy. The Big Three: all the pundits agree: Antoine Foster is number one, followed by Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy. Old reliables: Maurice Jones-Drew (343) and Michael Turner (301) are the only backs to carry the ball 300 times. Jones-Drew can also catch

Locally Owned & Operated

the ball, but Turner comes out in passing plays. The Big Play Threats: These are guys who can take it to the house any time they touch the ball, which means they could put up huge numbers: Chris Johnson, Ryan Mathews, Reggie Bush, Ahmad Bradshaw. Most pundits are predicting a breakthrough season for Mathews, since the Chargers let Mike Tolbert, their other veteran running back, go. One caveat: he’s injury prone. Bradshaw is in the same boat — the Giants got rid of Brandon Jacobs (thank god!) but Bradshaw is also brittle. Johnson, who broke the single season total yardage record only two seasons ago, has the most upside of the bunch. The New Breed: Trent Richardson, only a rookie, is highly touted. He’ll be playing for the Cleveland Browns, though, and with no passing game opponents may stack the box to try and shut him down. DeMarco Murray should be The Man in Dallas. Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis, The Law Firm, gets a fresh start in Cincy. Roy “You Had Me At” Helu may take over the job in Washington, but be aware they change running backs like women do shoes over there.

Brown takes over as the number one back for the Colts. The Old War Horses: Frank Gore, Steven Jackson. They keep getting the ball, but they keep getting older. The Question Marks: Adrian Peterson and Jamal Charles, two of the league’s most dynamic backs, are coming off of major knee surgery. Darren McFadden, an explosive back who always seems to get injured. The Perennially Underrated: Matt Forte and Fred Jackson are two of the best running backs in football. Why do their teams always dis them? And now, without further ado, Our Top Ten Fantasy Backs, in order. To win your league, you’ll probably need one of the top 10 and two more of those mentioned above. Draft accordingly, because top fantasy producers in the running back ranks are declining (On the other hand, more and more receivers

are breaking out, so you can afford to wait a few rounds before taking most of them). 1) Foster (but handcuff him with Ben Tate). 2) Rice. 3) McCoy. 4) Johnson. 5) Mathews 6) Forte 7) Charles 8) Richardson. 9) Peterson. 10) McFadden. Sleepers: here are some guys who may drop down in drafts who could become useful fantasy contributors – if you miss out on getting three of the above mentioned players, target the following: Doug Martin (Tampa Bay), Darren Sproles (New Orleans), Willis McGahee (Denver), Jahvid Best (Detroit) and Isaac Redman (Pittsburgh).
