Locals Talk East End Youth and young adults are suffering. “The beauty and rural character of the East End has made the region a tourist destination that is also favored by second homeowners and retirees,� the report states. “There is a wide perception that the East End, and specifically the South Fork, are extremely affluent communities.�

However, the report continues to state how “year round residents are forced to move out of the area because they are priced-out of the housing market, greatly impacting high school graduates and returning college students as they cannot find meaningful employment and affordable housing.� “It’s a farming community out here,� said Riverhead Councilman John Dunleavy. The councilman went on to explain how the further west one goes, the more job opportunities are available. “Out here it’s hard for people to one, get the job, and then two, to get to the job.�

A recent college graduate at the forum stressed the need for job creation on the East End. “I understand we’re a farming community,� said Rachel Toy, a

Last Thursday night nearly 30 people gathered at the David Crohan Community Center in Flanders to discuss the needs of the children, adolescents and young adults here on the East End. Scattered with local politicians, el e c t e d o f f i c ial s , c ommu n i ty activists, social workers, and members of the public, the crowd discussed different options East End communities have to make the area safer, stronger, and more desirable for the area’s youth to remain living in.

Led by Town of Southampton Youth Bureau Director Nancy Lynott, a report prepared by the Suffolk County Youth Board Coordinating Council to address the needs of local kids was discussed. “We want to make sure the county understands that East End youth has needs,� Lynott said.

According to a draft of the East End of Long Island Regional Report for Youth given out at the forum, there are several economic, social and health-related indicators as to why the East End’s children, teens

Southampton Town Youth Bureau Director Nancy Lynott leads a discussion on East End youth last Thursday night in Flanders.

24-year-old Sag Harbor resident who just graduated from SUNY New Paltz. “Why not train the kids to be farmers, then?�

Southampton Councilwoman Bridget Fleming noted how the Flanders Farm Fresh Food Market, a youth-staffed community farmers market launched in 2011, “is an easy model to replicate.� “We have to go where the kids are at,� the councilwoman said. “Kids here have a lot of time on their hands. We need local community involvement.�

Westhampton Beach resident Kerry Laube added some trades are being taken over by individuals not native to the community. “There’s a large industrial trade that goes with construction,� he added. “And I don’t see youth at these jobs. We could build an apprenticeship program that appeals to local professionals.�

Southampton Councilman Brad Bender, a former contractor, noted the lack of unionized labor on the East End. “We could get some local builders on board to have apprenticeships,� he said.

The “brain drain� (those able to get out of the area, and then doing so) that is endemic to Long Island is exacerbated on the East End, the report said. Pockets of poverty are found throughout the East End with Southampton and Riverhead having some of the most economically distressed communities on Long Island.

Lynott reminded the Suffolk County Planning Department listed six hamlets located within the East End as the most economically

distressed, of ten hamlets.

Other areas affecting youth progress included a lack of health insurance, poor, unreliable public transit, mental health issues, and substance abuse. “Our kids are drinking and drugging more than most kids across the county,� said Lynott.

Helen Atkinson-Barnes, of The Retreat in East Hampton, noted adding data on unhealthy relationships, teen dating, and other family issues would be helpful to bring into the report. “We need to learn and promote conflict resolution skills and what are the signs of abuse,� she said.

Prevention was the hot word of the night at the forum. Kym Laube, executive director of the Westhampton Beach-based Human Understanding and Growth Services, or HUGS, said getting services for youth out on the East End is greatly needed. “That way, prevention across the board could be greatly supported,� she said.

Dunleavy agreed, adding, “if you spend $2000 on prevention efforts, you’ll save $30,000 to $40,000 down the road.�

Lynott said prevention was the smart investment, mentioning Southampton Hospital is considering having a prevention/ counseling center for youth on the premises.

Lynott said the report would next be taken to the Suffolk County Youth Bureau as well as County Executive Steve Bellone’s office, along with the discussion points from the forum, for review.

TO THE VAST MAJORITY OF MY GOOD FRIENDS WHO ARE DEMOCRATS AND/OR LIBERALS All of you think you’re much smarter than I am.

Many of you are right.

You see me as a dumb-but-happy Republican who was too stupid to vote for the great Barack Obama even once.

You see me as being cruel, heartless and mistaken in my opposition to ObamaCare because I foolishly felt it would destroy healthcare in the United States.

I apologize.

I’m told by the media (MSNBC) that ObamaCare, after a few glitches, is now working extremely well and just a teeny tiny sprinkling of people in the United States are getting less coverage and paying more for their health insurance.

I’m sure none of you, my smart Democrat/Liberal friends, are among them and you still have kept the

doctor you like, as in, “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.”

And the good news is those smart Democrat friends who are paying much more for their health insurance and getting far less coverage can rejoice that somewhere in Kentucky there is a man who has been unemployed for two years is now on a waiting list and in just eight months he will have his much-needed hernia operation.

I was told that Obama’s successful foreign policy was going into high gear and his speech to the graduating class at West Point was going to be a gem.

How clever of Obama to choose West Point, thereby insuring that he was speaking to the only 1,064 graduates in the United States in

2014 who are sure of having a job after they graduate.

Since many of you are smarter than I am, there are things about the speech that I don’t understand.

Are we no longer leading from behind?

Can a country lead from the middle?

Would you believe just slightly behind the front?

Speaking of the Obama West Point speech, what’s happened to the beloved New York Times?

Did the editors lose their minds when they dumped the lovely Jill Abramson as executive editor?

Have they turned the wonderful bleeding heart “We love everyone but Israel” newspaper of record into a conservative, neo-Nazi, fascist bastards’ newspaper?

Yes children, the New York Times criticized the great Barack Obama for the first time since he left community organizing and trounced Hillar y Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination with the help of all you good Democrats/Liberals.

In an editorial about the West Point speech the New York Times said hurtful things about Obama like: “He provided little new insight into how he plans to lead in the next two years, and many still doubt that he fully appreciates the leverage the United States has even in a changing world. Falling back on hackneyed phrases like America is the ‘indispensable nation’ told us little.

“Mr. Obama’s comments on China and Russia barely touched on how he plans to manage two major countries that have

turned increasingly aggressive.

Pledging anew to close the jail at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, which Congress has blocked, was, at this point, little more than a reassuring gesture.

“The address did not match the hype, was largely uninspiring, lacked strategic sweep and is unlikely to quiet his detractors, on the right or the left.”

Now wait a minute here. I know I speak for all my Democrat/Liberal friends when I say STOP. You can say Barack Obama has been a worse president than Jimmy Carter, who up until now was our worst president.

You can say that the United States has lost its world leadership position because of Barack Obama’s namby-pamby policies.

You can cite Benghazi, the unemployment of millions, a stalled economy, Syria, Putin, China . . .

You can talk about his releasing five of the world’s most dangerous terrorists for the return of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who appears ready to star in next season’s run of “Homeland.”

But NEVER . . . NEVER . . . NEVER . . . criticize the way Barack Obama makes a speech.

The man (and I’m sure many of my wise Democrat friends will agree) is the greatest speechmaker in our nation’s history.

He has mastered the ability to look into a camera and lie to the American people in a beautiful, deep, reassuring voice.

But perhaps it’s the dumb Republican side of me that is using the word “lie.”

Perhaps he is the most honest man in the world who just doesn’t have a clue.

I call on my wise Democrat/ Liberal friends for a decision.

The Debate That Wasn’t Rankles GOP Voters

By Rick Murphy

Was it a no-go or a no-show?

Either way, local Republicans looking forward to seeing their two U.S. Congressional candidates square off in Southampton are none too happy one dropped out at the last minute.

George Demos and Lee Zeldin square off in the Republican primary on June 24 and the winner will get a shot at ethics-challenged Tim Bishop, the five-time incumbent viewed as extremely vulnerable by the party hierarchy.

While Zeldin was the unanimous choice of the party committee Demos has engaged in a well-funded primary fight.

The Southampton Full Gospel Church was set to host the debate May 27, and issued a press release on May 23 that both candidates had agreed.

Not so, said Kevin Tschirhart, Demos’s campaign manager. “There was no debate scheduled,” he said.

“There was a lot of back and forth.

They weren’t helpful.” Tschirhart singled out James Boyd, the point man for the congregation, who he labeled a “Zeldin supporter.”

Boyd had worked behind the scene to set the time of the debate under conditions both candidates would agree to. Tschirhart became more and more concerned with the details as the date of the debate approached, Boyd related.

On May 17 Tschirhart wrote to Boyd via email stating he wanted to “limit answers to two minutes and rebuttals to one.” He also asked there be no applause permitted until the debate was over. “Once the Zeldin campaign has accepted these rules and confirmed their attendance we will do the same.”

Boyd said the Zeldin camp readily agreed and the church issued a press release saying the debate was a go.

That night Zeldin said Tschirhart got in a shoving match at a debate sponsored by LI News Radio, angry that Zeldin supporters had shown up.

The following day Tschirhart stunned Boyd by demanding “Ten professional security guards or Southampton Town policemen to keep order.” Lynda Edwards, the local Tea Party head, held a meet and greet for Zeldin that afternoon. Boyd, an acquaintance of Edwards, had gone there to make sure Zeldin was on board with the latest requests made by Demos. Tschirhart called Boyd a “Zeldin supporter who attended a fundraising rally” and branded the coming debate “a setup.”

“It wasn’t a fundraiser. He walked up, introduced himself, confirmed the details and that was it,” Zeldin said of Boyd.

“George Demos is lying when he said he did not commit to the debate at Southampton Full Gospel Church,” Boyd said via a press release issued Monday. “Emails and conversations with Kevin prove I had a commitment. The rules he wanted were in place and Lee Zeldin was assured to come, but George

backed out.”

Zeldin has repeatedly accused Demos of dodging debates – The May 23 radio debate was the first of the campaign, and no others are scheduled. “Demos has some kind of paranoia. He hides inside an advertising bubble that protects him. Without it he feels vulnerable and exposed,” Zeldin said.

“Anyone can go online and watch the LI News radio debate on YouTube. It’s clear to everyone

that Lee Zeldin got trounced and now he’s desperate and wants a do over sponsored, organized and moderated by his own supporters,” Tschirhart said in response.

The Demos campaign, funded almost entirely by family money, has spent over $2 million attempting to label Zeldin as an Obamacare supporter. It has seemed to be gathering steam at one point – unbeknownst to Demos, the Continued on Page 25.

Praise Project ‘Pace Of Play,’ Urge Feds To Build Bigger

By Kitty Merrill

It’s summertime and time for sand and surf and showers and bureaucracy. There was good news and an impassioned plea on the beachfronts in Amagansett and Montauk this week.

First, the good news.

The loo’s getting good reviews.

This week East Hampton Town Councilwoman Sylvia Overby reported improvements at Indian Wells Beach are moving along swimmingly.

New restrooms boasting two showers are finished. “It looks so good,” the councilwoman enthused.

“We decided to do the project in March, put the bids out in April and it was finished by May 22. I’m so pleased that thanks to the spirit of cooperation in this administration, we were able to implement a rapid pace of play.”

Great feedback has trickled in regarding a new food truck on site, Overby said, and all that’s left on the punch list is paving and a new

sidewalk.

Indian Wells Beach became a focal point of local displeasure two summers ago, when hordes of young and rowdy summer visitors “discovered” it as a new place to party. Complaints of drunkenness and lewd behavior on the heretofore family gathering spot rolled in and officials attempted to find a way to mitigate both the new, raucous, atmosphere and a parking situation that was rapidly becoming a safety hazard.

A booth has been set up at the entrance to the beach and the parking lot has been reconfigured alongside upgrades to the public privy. A proposed ban on public drinking was floated earlier this spring, but so far, it has yet to be adopted.

While the pace of play at Indian Wells was a source of delight for the town board member, grinding bureaucracy has another member exercising patience.

Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc is the lead liaison for the Montauk Beach replenishment project. “It’s a very complex process,” he said of the multi-agency plan to mitigate erosion on the Downtown Montauk Beach.

Most recently, he said, private properties whose owners will have to give easements to allow for an enhanced dune line have been identified. “I would hope the property owners would be enthusiastic about sand on their property since it’s in their interest.”

There’s a “huge benefit” to that first line of property owners, Van Scoyoc said. “I’m optimistic we’ll get buy-ins.”

Meanwhile on Monday afternoon Supervisor Larry Cantwell’s office released a report by the town’s Continued ON page 11.

Ham’s A Hall Of Famer

By Kitty Merrill

He’s a decorated veteran, public servant, community activist, author, popular lecturer, and a “true hero.”

State Senator Ken LaValle announced this week that Arma “Ham” Andon has been chosen for inclusion in the 2014 NY Senate Veterans Hall of Fame.

“Arma E. Andon embodies the life, character and abilities of a generation of leaders that exemplify the great American spirit,” said Senator LaValle. He continued, “Arma is a true hero that protected the freedoms we treasure. His selection into the Hall of Fame is in

recognition of his patriotism and sacrifice for our country.”

Andon faced nearly insurmountable odds from the moment he enlisted in the military to fight in World War II, according to LaValle’s release heralding the inclusion. “His courage and capabilities were tested beyond most individuals, and he truly deserves the recognition as a New York State Senate Veterans Hall of Fame member,” LaValle said.

Andon’s wartime heroics earned him the Bronze Star with Cluster, two Purple Hearts with Cluster, and a Presidential Unit Citation. He led his combat team in 1944, landing

on Utah Beach in Normandy. In Germany, in 1945, Andon was injured, but continued to lead his men in a fierce battle.

On the home front, Andon served as mayor of Westhampton Beach, and was an early member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5350 in Quogue, serving as its commander for just shy of two decades.

During his service in the military, Andon was assigned to lead African American troops. The racism he saw during that time touched home. Years later, he would become one of the first members of the Southampton Town Anti-Bias Task

Force. In 2009 he was lauded as a champion of equality and social justice at the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. breakfast hosted by the First Baptist Church of Riverhead.

The Hampton Bays School District honored his service during its monthly flag ceremony and adopted him as “an honorary Bayman.”

Andon has also been an active member of St. Mark’s Church in Westhampton Beach, serving as an usher for years and participating in myriad fundraisers. He’s listed among members who attended the very first service at the church in 1949.

Along the way, Andon authored a book about his wartime experiences, One Man’s Journey: World War II. He’s a favored raconteur who local libraries invite to discuss his book and experiences both during the war and as an advocate for retired veterans. He retired a major of the United States Army Reserve.

In a 2007 feature in The Independent, Andon shared wartime reflections, including his hands-on leadership philosophy: “When you’re in command, you’re responsible. The last thing you think about is yourself. My role was to see that the job got done, and I would never ask my men to do something that I wouldn’t do. I was always in the front lines, even though I didn’t have to be.”

Now, the local hero will be front and center in the Hall of Fame. LaValle concluded, “Arma’s unyielding love for country has served as an incredible role model for everyone to emulate.”

Rentals Under Code Enforcement Control

By Emily Toy

Southampton Town’s Code Enforcement Department recently took the reins to help control and monitor rental property owners throughout the town.

The newly organized Housing Investigations Unit of Southampton Town Code Enforcement, after a month-long investigation, issued 54 violation notices to the owners of 14 rental properties in the North Road area of Hampton Bays, according to a press release from the town on Monday morning.

Code Enforcement officers focused on the North Road area of Hampton Bays as part of a larger town-wide quality of life enforcement effort targeting rental housing-related violations and their impact on local quality of life.

Code Enforcement tackles issues of overcrowding in homes, property maintenance, noise complaints, litter and debris, parking complaints, and building without a permit, to name a few.

Lack of valid rental permits,

unsanitar y and unsafe living conditions, and other violations of the occupancy laws made up many of the notices issued recently in the Hampton Bays area.

Restructured after the town board passed a law on May 19, the entire rental permit application process was moved from the Building Department to Code Enforcement.

“Enforcement actions such as these will go a long way to assure that landlords comply with the

law,” said Councilwoman Christine Scalera.

Scalera added transferring the rental application administration to Code Enforcement will provide for a more efficient and timely process.

According to Town Attorney Tiffany Scarlato, Code Enforcement has been restructured “so that we can take a more proactive approach to addressing health and safety issues in our community especially

as they relate to rental housing.”

Property owners, as a result of these efforts, must become compliant with the law or face significant fines determined by the Justice Court, the press release charges.

“The goal of this change is to coordinate more effectively the rental permit application process with inspections, enforcement and related quality of life ordinances,” said Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst.

FARMS WATER MILL, NY

Project

Continued from page 8. independent engineer, First Coastal Consulting Corporation.

Readers will recall that earlier this spring the Army Corps brought bad news to town – the Downtown Montauk beach stabilization project had been scaled back substantially from what was described last year. Just a portion of the original project could be implemented with emergency post-Sandy funding; the rest would have to wait until the Fire Island to Montauk Point Study is complete. (That study has been underway for decades.)

The amount of money available for the project must relate to an overall economic benefit. This week, the First Coastal analysis calculates the benefit to be more than double the amount presented by the feds.

“This finding lends support for Montauk to receive significantly more relief than what the Army Corps has already committed to the hamlet,” a release from Cantwell asserts. He called for the construction of a feeder beach as first discussed.

“Without the construction of a feeder beach, the emergency project as currently proposed places Montauk in a vulnerable position,” the supervisor said.

organizing tenants. Tom Ruhle, the director of the East Hampton Town Housing and Community Development Office, notified Holden earlier in the year that her federal rent subsidy was being lifted because she doesn’t live in her apartment.

Holden came equipped to the arbitration hearing with three letters from local doctors who stated she had become ill from the mold and that she should no longer live at the premises. She also had the results of tests that revealed the presence of mold at dangerous levels in her basement.

The arbitrator refused to allow the evidence after Ruhle said it had to be submitted in advance of the hearing. According to Holden, Ruhle never advised her of such and acknowledged at the hearing that the certified letter he had sent her had been returned.

Ruhle’s office administers federal subsidies given to the senior residents.

Holden said Ruhle interrupted her and tried to stop her testimony about the mold problem but was overruled. “I told her (the arbitrator)

my basement had 940,000 mold spores. Other occupants have mold coming through their walls and floor boards.”

Holden’s physician, Dr. George Dempsey, of East Hampton, advised his patient in writing not to sleep at the location. “Ms. Holden has documented respiratory allergies and persistent asthma. She is unable to live in an environment with mold as it will exacerbate her condition.”

D r. R u s s e l l C a n c e l l i e r i , a Southampton-based immunologist, had advised her she is allergic to the mold and that she risks serious injury if she is exposed to it.

A third letter writer, Dr. Caroline Fierro, of Southampton, wrote that Holden “has a history of inflammation caused by mold exposure.”

Holden and many of the other residents have had their dwellings tested by the Shelter-Island based Mildew Busters. The results of the tests, processed by Pro-Lab in Weston, Florida showed alarming levels of Peniccillium/Aspergillus.

Residents sued when the town dragged its feet remedying the

situation.

“I didn’t have asthma when I moved here two and a half years ago,” Holden said. She also learned after moving in that the woman who lived in her apartment before her had liver damage. She contends that she still goes to the apartment every day, pays the rent on time, and pays for all the utilities.

Both Ruhle and Michael DeSario, the chairman of the Windmill II board of directors, in the past claimed the mold problem was confined to the basements and has been addressed. Holden and the other tenants are incredulous at the claim, especially since they have been gathering visual evidence for months.

Whatever the case, Ruhle is playing hardball with Holden.

“Anything you say at the hearing could be used against you in a criminal fraud investigation,” Ruhle warned her in writing before the hearing.

The arbitrator is to make a decision within three weeks, Holden said.

Ruhle did not respond to requests for comments by deadline.

Obituary Vincent Sweeney, 88

A bright light in the community dimmed forever this week.

Vincent Sweeney died peacefully at his home in Westhampton surrounded by his adoring family on Friday, May 30.

Vince was born in Piermont, NY on September 17, 1925 to Robert and Theresa (nee Corrigan) Sweeney. He was the second to youngest, and sole survivor, of eight children.

After attending Rice High School in Harlem, Vince joined the Merchant Marines in 1943, setting off on what became a lifelong calling to serve his country; his faithful service was a testament to his fierce patriotic pride.

Vince went to officers’ training school in New London and was deployed to serve in World War II. In 1966 he began moonlighting with the Military Sealift Command as a relief officer. After working as a pilot with the FDNY from the mid 1950s until his retirement in 1979, Sweeney went full time with the Military Sealift Command on their ocean-going ships.

Later, when his children were grown, in 1991 he shipped off to the Persian Gulf and served as a Damage Control Officer during Desert Storm before retiring at 65.

“There was a feeling that it was

our duty to protect the country,” he said, in a 2006 interview. He followed in the footsteps of a family born to serve the nation. His brother Alfie served in the United States Army; his brother Robbie and sister Peggy served in the United States Air Force and his brother Johnny was a “Navy man,” he said.

Vince was awarded a federal service award of appreciation by the United States Navy in 1991.

He attended yearly gatherings of Merchant Marine veterans and was filled with tremendous pride Continued ON page 35.

Loosen Chain Store Regs

permit process.

During a public hearing on the proposal in April Margaret Turner of the East Hampton Business Alliance wondered whether the town had conducted a study of town wide business needs to see if such changes are necessary.

Overby said she has convened a committee comprised of business owners, environmentalists, neighbors and community advocates to consider such matters.

The group is currently looking at laws related to pre-existing nonconforming businesses. So many of those businesses are here to stay, she noted, even though under the current zoning code, when they want to upgrade they can do “zero.”

Any changes targeting preexisting businesses “won’t be one size fits all,” the councilwoman believes. Establishments like marinas, restaurants and delis need to be able to make improvements

As The Independent went to press yesterday, the East Hampton Town Board was expected to discuss the most recent iteration of its “formula store” zoning code amendment.

Soon after news began to circulate that 7-Eleven was poised to open in Amagansett, the town board debuted new zoning regs related to formula, or chain, stores. A portion of the amendment prohibited chains within a certain distance of a historic district or structure which, in some cases (like that of the 7-Eleven), resulted in a de facto ban of formula stores.

Those provisions will be removed from the next version of the amendment, as will a section restricting the size of the stores, Councilwoman Sylvia Overby reported this week. Applications for formula stores will still have to undergo review by the planning board and department, plus a special

LIBFRE Launches Class Action Against PSEG, LIPA

By Kitty Merrill

They want a $30 million judgment, plus $10 million to cover the cost of removing poisonous substances from their properties, plus $10 million in compensation for emotional distress, plus an injunction requiring PSEG to remove all poles installed as a result of its ongoing project in East Hampton and an order to bury the lines at PSEG’s full cost.

As threatened for weeks, the group Long Island Businesses For Responsible Energy filed a class action suit against PSEG and LIPA in State Supreme Court last week.

It’s filed on behalf of East Hampton residents who live near to 267 newly-placed utility poles.

“The poles and lines have caused serious injury and will continue to cause serious injury to Plaintiffs and members of the class they represent,” court documents state.

Alleged injury comes from PCP, a wood preservative used to treat the poles that’s leaching into the soil.

“PCP is a dangerous poison that causes serious injury to humans if

its fumes are inhaled or the poison seeps into water tables,” the suit asserts, adding that it’s already beginning to occur.

Injury also comes from the electromagnetic fields generated by the power transmission and distribution lines on the poles.

Damage to surrounding vegetation and scenic views are cited in the suit, as is the potential for the massive poles to “significantly lower” property values. It asserts over 300 homes located in the affected area represent a total market value of over $300 million and are all now devalued, with a decreased value estimated at between five and 10 percent.

The suit lists a slew of causes

of action running the gamut from trespass to failing to warn adjacent homeowners of the threat posed

by PCP treatment of the poles.

The complaint states PSEG and LIPA should have realized the installation of the new poles and lines would cause “emotional distress.” It characterizes the utility’s environmental assessment of the project’s potential impact as “intentionally conceived to be

★

erroneous and incomplete” as well as in violation of environmental conservation law.

PSEG spokesman Jeffrey Weir declined to comment on the specifics of the suit, stating, “The project in the Town of East Hampton was undertaken to insure the reliability of the electric grid for our customers across the entire town. We’ll be reviewing the lawsuit in more detail.”

Conviction In 2012 Rape-Murder

Independent / Courtesy SCDA

Alfonso Alvarado-Ajcuc was convicted in the rape-murder of a Flanders woman.

By Kitty Merrill

He killed her, and if he ever gets out of jail, Alfonso Alvarado-Ajcuc, 23, of Riverhead, will be deported.

Last Friday a Suffolk County jury convicted the East End landscaper, a Guatemalan immigrant in the country illegally, of the rape-murder of a local woman more than two years ago.

The jury found Alvarado-Ajcuc guilty of second-degree murder. He

an interpreter at his arraignment in 2012.

According to Assistant District F Attorney Glenn Kurtzrock the suspect confessed to the crime.

“There was a full video-taped c o n f e s s i o n ,” t h e p r o s e c u t o r affirmed. This was the first time prosecutors were able to go to trial and play a video-taped confession for a jury. Since 2010 in every other case with a taped confession, the defendant has pleaded guilty and avoided a trial, Kurtzrock explained.

While he confessed to the rape

strangled Mirian Yohana Garcia, 29, to death and left her nude body in a wooded area on Route 58 in Riverhead where it was discovered behind the DMV office.

Deliberations began May 28 after a two-week trial.

District Attorney Tom Spota said he will recommend the maximum imprisonment of 25 years to life at Alvarado-Ajcuc’s sentencing on July 9.

Alvarado-Ajcuc was arrested in May of 2012. Prosecutors said he strangled the victim with his belt, as he raped her. Her body was found on May 7 and the suspect was arrested five days later.

According to a published report the criminal complaint states that at about 2 AM on May 6, AlvaradoAjcuc “removed [Ms. Garcia’s] pants” and “committed or attempted to commit” first-degree rape, criminal sexual act in the first degree and aggravated sexual abuse. It also states: “As the victim fought and resisted, the defendant removed his belt and wrapped it around her neck and strangled her” until she died.

Alvarado-Ajcuc spoke through

Easing Cancer Patients’ Pain

Cancer is a relentless disease. Every cancer patient experience may be different, but anxiety and fear are emotions shared by all, and everyone knows that fighting cancer is a tough, time-consuming, emotional and exhausting experience.

Whether the time spent undergoing chemotherapy treatment is one day each week or every day, it is a grueling part of the fight. Some of the tension and stress related to treatment can be calmed thanks to a grant of $13,500 Southampton Hospital has received from Angie’s Spa, a charitable cancer foundation that funds programs with the express purpose of providing free therapeutic spa services to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

This funding is providing complimentary massage therapy to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Eastern Long Island Hematology/Oncology. Recent grant funding has allowed for expanded hours in Southampton and a new program for patients undergoing chemotherapy in the Riverhead office. Licensed massage therapists from Southampton Hospital’s Ed & Phyllis Davis Wellness Institute are providing services designed to alleviate painful side effects through relaxation to enhance traditional treatments and give cancer patients a self-esteem boost.

and murder, Alvarado-Ajcuc didn’t offer an explanation for his actions.

As he tried to rape her, the victim fought back. Kurtzrock theorized the murder was “a reaction to her resisting him.” He said the killer only knew his victim “by sight;” they weren’t friends.

Just 29 when she was killed, Garcia was last seen at the Sabor Latino bar and restaurant, which is in the same Peconic Plaza shopping center as the DMV. Also from Guatemala, Garcia worked cleaning and detailing boats at a local marina.

Hampton Bays

D-Day Event On June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline on the beaches of Normandy, France.

This was the largest seaborne invasion in history. More than 5000 ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion.

By the end of the day, the Allies had gained a foothold in Normandy.

More than 9000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded on this day. Thus began the march of more than 100,000 soldiers across Europe to defeat Hitler.

Friday marks the 70th anniversary of this invasion. Come to the Hampton Bays Historical Society at the Prosper King House from 4 to 6 PM to meet local veterans who participated in World War II. The society is asking all veterans who have served to join them, along with their families and friends, to remember those who served in this conflict.

All are welcome! E-mail hamptonbayshistoricalsociety@ gmail.com.

By Rick Murphy

RICK’S SPACE What I Want To Be When I Grow Up I always figured someone would be crazy enough to pay me money to write, and sure enough it finally happened.

It’s a lucky thing for me, because though I’ve tried a number of occupations over the years, I wasn’t much good at anything.

When I was a little kid I wanted to be a professional singer. I used to be in the Catholic school choir back when I was 10 or so. The reason I was in the choir wasn’t so much because I liked to sing, but because Sister James Marion promised to beat the living snot out of me if I didn’t join.

My brother, who was seven years older, heard me sing. Back then, a cappella groups were all the rage, and a few guys in our Brooklyn neighborhood, Flatbush, had struck it rich, most notably The Tokens.

So my brother and his 17-year-old friends put together a group, but none of them could hit the high pitched notes needed to sing the Tokens’ Number One hit, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” which sounded sus-

piciously like a eunuch was handling the high end.

Before I knew it, I was down in the basement singing with the big kids. I still remember the touching lyrics like they were yesterday, the moving poetry piercing my soul, the words, like tasty morsels, never to be forgotton: A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, aweema-weh, a-weema-weh A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, aweema-weh, a-weema-weh We ee eee eee eee eee eee eee We um mum ba way We ee eee eee eee eee eee eee We um mum ba wayA-weemaweh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, aweema-weh, a-weema-weh For a while it looked like my fledging career was taking off, until my brother and his friends realized what the choir master at St. Francis of Assisi realized: I was tone deaf.

I had a loud, annoying voice perfectly off-key with everyone else. He eventually told me to “sing silently.”

I got the hint about a month later and quit.

By then I decided baseball was for me. When I was 12, I was in the eighth grade but still eligible to play Little League with the sixth and seventh graders. Since I was used to playing with older kids, I was the best player on the team, or at least the fastest runner. I was so fast, in fact, I would bunt every time up, steal second, and then steal third.

I would then score on anything hit to anyone.

We went all the way to the Brooklyn semifinals. My dad, who used to work two jobs, actually took off to watch the game, played at the Parade Grounds. It was then I astonished myself and everyone I knew by hitting a mammoth threerun homer over the distant right field fence. I remember rounding the bases, trying to look nonchalant, but wondering to myself, “How the hell did I do that?”

I never hit another home run.

The next year, I was still about five-foot two, but this time in high school. I tried out for the baseball team and there were, like, men playing. It soon became apparent I wasn’t going to make the Major Leagues.

Hmmm, I wondered. What do I want to do with my life? More precisely, how can I make a lot of money but do no actual work?

Rock Star.

IN THE NEWS

By then, my voice had changed, so instead of being a painfully outof-tune Soprano, I was a growly out of tune mumbler – in other words, perfect for the role. I developed a Dylanesque whine and convinced my mother to buy me a Martin D-20 guitar. I learned two chords and wrote a song. By the time I knew three chords I had written 50. By the time I knew all the major and minor chords I had 200 original songs in my repertoire. Some may remember my famous ode to my Jewish neighborhood, “Like A Rolling Cohen.”

I still get requests.

OK, not really, but one girl I used to serenade told me she still gets misty when she remembers this touching line from my enduring classic: “I’ll put it to you very plain and simple I wish your face would turn into a pimple” * *(Excerpted from “The Pimple Song” by Muddy Guitar Murphy. All rights reserved.)

Someone once said to me if we had the brain we have now with the body we had then, we could have become anyone we wanted to be.

At first it made sense. I would have learned proper pitch to master singing. I would have practiced harder to become a better baseball player.

But to be honest, I know in my heart I could never write another classic like “The Pimple Song.”

EDITORIAL

A Tale Of Two School Districts East Hampton and Bridgehampton were two of the four school districts in Suffolk County that attempted to breach the state’s mandatory budget cap. East Hampton was the only one approved by voters.

In hindsight, it’s easy to see why East Hampton’s budget passed. It calls for a 2.4 percent tax increase, higher than this year’s cap, 1.46 percent.

But district Superintendent Rich Burns and board president Pat Hope made it clear throughout the process that the district did everything it could to come in under the cap. The process of conceiving and paring the budget was long, sometimes painful, and most important, transparent.

Obviously, taxpayers saw and appreciated the effort: the budget was approved by nearly three of every four voters.

Bridgehampton’s school board also claimed to fight the good fight in paring its budget. But the proposed budget carried a nearly 10 percent tax hike, an astronomical increase given the new state guidelines. Nevertheless, the budget had its supporters – 54 percent approved, but 60 percent was needed to pierce the cap.

What’s troubling is Bridgehampton has decided to resubmit the same budget to voters. We have always seen a certain arrogance in districts that refuse to budge even after the public speaks.

Perhaps the current school board wasn’t around 25 years ago when taxpayers – many second homeowners – rallied against school spending and damn near shuttered the school for good. Bridgehampton is one of the smallest districts in the state, and the cost of educating each student is soaring towards the $100,000 mark, an absurdity to be sure. All the district has going for it at this point is its heritage and the desire of local parents to keep their kids nearby.

The Bridgehampton School Board hopes to rally parents and get this budget pushed through. Board members, though, seem to forget second homeowners with no kids in the school have a say as well. By not paring down the budget it’s as if the school board is daring the sleeping giant to awaken. It’s a dangerous game to be sure.

The Finest Kind

Dear Editor, For decades I’ve been trying cases from Montauk to Manhattan.

While I was seeking acquittals, Judge Edward D. Burke Sr. was dispensing justice while administering one of the busiest courts in the United States – yes, Southampton Town Justice Court.

Hon. Edward D. Burke Sr. has consistently exhibited integrity and character of the finest kind.

Cowboy Pilots Dear Editor, Based on what I heard at the annual “Fly Neighborly Helicopter Pilots” meeting in April, I was under the impression that the pilots agreed to fly at higher altitudes and to be more precise in following their routes.

Noyac was supposed to see some relief from both in and outbound helicopters if they fly along the agreed waypoints. I thought Noyac was starting to see some relief until this past weekend. Then low flying helicopters flew over my house in Noyac eastbound and westbound. Didn’t these pilots get the memo?

Enough! Noyac is not going to be the doormat for these cowboy pilots who think this is the Wild West. For many years the Noyac Civic Council has been involved in the East Hampton Noise Abatement Committee trying to work out a resolution to the aircraft noise problem. The progress that we’ve made was because of Noyac residents’ efforts calling and attending

meetings.

Congressman Bishop and Senator Schumer are working with the FAA to try to give the North and South Forks more relief. In the meantime, while committees and legislators are working to provide permanent relief, we need to continue recording disturbing noise events from aircraft. The federal courts ruled that noise complaints are a valid data set in determining FAA policy, so please continue to log your complaints through 2014.

The volume of households that call has a greater impact than multiple calls from a few households. Please ask your neighbors to call. Please call 1-800-376-4817, or log your complaint online at: http://www. planenoise.com/khto/.

Reminder -- phone complaints are registered as one incident per call. For multiple complaints, use email if possible so each incident will be logged.

Unrighteous Dear Editor, Over the past five to six months a small group of people, LIBFRE, (Long Island Businesses For Responsible Energy, Inc., a separate group from SaveEH,) have been educating our town’s people and elected officials of the erroneous practices performed by PSEGLI. It is beyond the time for people here in East Hampton and stretching across the nation, to say “No More Penta!”

PSEGLI states that they are conforming to “industry standards,” standards that have been proven to be harmful to us.

PENTA is toxic, banned in 26 countries.

However, the USA and Canada continue exempting utility companies and the RR. As a citizen here in America, I found that unrighteous.

PENTA is not permitted on playgrounds, but allowed on our property’s easement (to the utility company) and on our streets where our children equally play. How is that permissible? There are other ways for electricity provision. We are in the 21st century using 19th century installations.

Utility companies should be mandated to provide safe and responsible energy.

PENTA excretes and flows downward off the pole and into Mother Earth releasing toxic chemicals into the ground and then into the aquifer. Our drinking WATER is being contaminated. Support LIBFRE.com in the fight against the harmful electric supply brought to us by PSEG. Twenty years from now let’s not have regrets about our water supply. Did you ever see the movie, Erin Brockovich?

Those poor people, so naive till someone woke them up! Wake up - it’s happening here! Right in the front of our homes and businesses, you’ve seen it on the news and in the papers. It’s happening right in our beautiful community and farmland, right here and now. The exempted allowance of PENTA to utility companies and the RR has to change.

How is your garden going?

Phyllis Gallaway We just planted our garden. Flowers and vegetables. My husband plants all the flowers and I’m in charge of the vegetables. I’m not sure how that division came about. But there you are. I’ve planted tomatoes, zucchini, basil, cucumbers and strawberries.

Penelope Katsonis It’s going along well. I plant vegetables every year and everything is in the ground. Tomatoes, eggplant, beans, squash, and all different kinds of herbs. It was a very long cold winter but it all seems to be coming along fairly well.

Rosemary Cardinale I’ve just planted all my flowers on the back deck in pots and they’re doing very well with all the warm weather and the rain. I’ve got geraniums.

Gerber daisies and coleus. And I have one line of vegetables. Not as many as I used to grow.

Basil, parsley, peppers and arugula.

Suzi Knapp I don’t have a garden because there are so many deer. But my daughter is threatening to move back with me from Virginia and she says if she does come we’re going to have a garden.

She says we’ll just have to get a fence. A very tall one!

Just what does this mean: “tortuous effort by some, to rub off onto themselves a little of the gilt (?) by association of the ubers,” (my spell-check automatically underlines that one) “they so desperately try to delusion-ize themselves as being one with” (Whew!)

To further read her letter, Ms. Fogel states without equivocation that Ms. Philomena and Mr. Zizelis’ (fellow travelers) previous contributions to our political conversation are so evidently factual that my eyes must be closed. She assumes that I don’t want to be bothered by facts in these missives when, indeed and without doubt, I wish to see the first fact-let (hey, if Fogel can play with words, so can I) coming out of a Leftist.

No such thing, I am afraid. We are supposed to, according to Ms. Fogel, “get” everything she and they say because, I suppose, it is sooo self-evident.

My lament was and is that there are no facts to speak of. I looked and I looked. I am further accused of not wanting to bother with facts when that is exactly what I was calling for. Hello? Anybody there?

Ms. Fogel concludes that she is “done with this pointless subject” because she has “a wall to talk to.” That’s the wall with the Che Guevara poster pinned up next to the “Hope and Change” Obama poster. I hope Ms. Fogel doesn’t accidentally bump into the lit candles below.

Schools can best do this by serving nutritious and tasty vegan meals, such as veggie burgers, black bean and corn chili, hummus and veggie wraps, vegetable soup, and pasta primavera.

Spock, “Children who grow up getting their nutrition from plant foods rather than meats have a tremendous health advantage. They are less likely to develop weight problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer.”

Students will eat up wholesome meals if they’re tasty, too. And then they’ll be able to spend more time in the classroom and on the playground than at the doctor’s office.

Parents can set a good example for their children by preparing plant-based foods at home, too. Visit www.PETA.org for more information and tips on keeping your kids and yourself fit for life.

said the charge was “ridiculous.”

Demos is also accused of revealing the identity of an SEC whistleblower, Peter Sivere, to his employer, Morgan Stanley Chase, and of not really living in the First Confessional District.

Newsday reported that, “Zeldin backers say Demos is getting funding help from his father-inlaw, West Coast developer Angelo Tsakopoulos, who critics say has helped fund Democrats including Hillary Rodham Clinton and Nancy Pelosi and is a business partner of Pelosi’s husband.” Indeed, almost all of Demos contributions have come

www.indyeastend.com

from the family or out of district backers, many from California.

Zeldin, as it turned out, went to the debate anyway. “I answered every question, and I always will, including some planted questions from Bishop supporters.”

At the church Zeldin took a swipe at Demos -- critics claim he has no roots in the Congressional District and moved here to run for office. “I was born here and went from K-12 here,” Zeldin said.

“My daughter goes to the same elementary school I did. I own a home and pay taxes here.”

Zeldin and Demos have agreed

to appear before The Independent editorial staff for an endorsement interview. “‘No show George’ has yet to learn that spending a lot of money and acting tough on TV is not a substitute for honesty and transparency,” Boyd commented.

Once he forms a bond with you, he will be your best buddy. Max needs a patient dog savvy owner, willing to give him the same attention and commitment his foster family has given him. He would probably thrive in an adult home with no other fur siblings to share but could possibly be placed in a home that helps him adjust to other animals over time. RSVP Inc. is willing to provide training and guidance with the transition into his new home.

Continued from page 13. as his legacy of service was carried on by his granddaughter Sheila, a lieutenant in the United States Navy.

He was present for the pinning ceremonies of both Sheila and her cousin Terrance Sweeney, happily passing the baton of national pride and selfless dedication to the next generation.

Reflecting on decades of devoted service to his nation, Sweeney said, “I would do it all over again, absolutely.”

Vince was married on November 22, 1947 to his first wife, Mary (nee Sheahan). A devoted family man, he was a proud patriarch to his children Patricia and Vincent, and to his grandchildren, Sheila, Sara, and Brendan.

When Mary lost her cancer battle, Vince moved to Westhampton fulltime, where he was a longtime parishioner at The Church of the Immaculate Conception, a loyal member of the Knights of Columbus for 66 years, and a member of the Westhampton Yacht Squadron.

On September 23, 2000, Vince married his beloved wife Alice (nee Tetrault Russell); the couple lived a love story, rich with tenderness and devotion. His granddaughter Sara said her grandfather would begin stories by calling them “BA”, or “Before Alice,” his cherished wife. Together, the couple traveled the world to destinations such as Paris — where they attended the French Open — Italy, and Ireland.

Each year, they traveled to the races at Saratoga, extending the visit to explore the natural beauty of destinations including Lake Champlain last year. Sweeney was fueled by his lifelong passion for travel, bringing home stories rich with details from his journeys to Norway and other far-flung destinations. Last year, Vince and his son traveled to the Grand Canyon, creating lifelong memories.

But no matter how far he traveled, Vince found his greatest joy and contentment in the warm gatherings he and Alice hosted for family and close friends in their Westhampton home, and in the little moments — such as bagels and the New York Times on a Sunday — that give great meaning to life. He found great enjoyment in listening to JJ Cale, Eric Clapton, and Jerry Garcia. He loved a variety of music, including traditional Irish music and classical. He was one of the New York Yankees’ biggest fans.

An avid tennis player and golfer, Vince enjoyed bike riding and walking the beach in South Carolina on yearly trips with Alice.

He was a natural storyteller, bringing to life his extraordinary

experiences for rapt listeners.

Loving nothing more than a good joke, he had a “killer sense of humor,” according to his family, and will always be remembered for the twinkle in his eyes and the warmth of his rich laughter as he brought smiles to everyone whose lives he blessed.

Vince had a keen interest in the lives of those he loved, and reveled in hearing about their adventures and accomplishments, always encouraging young people to follow their dreams and reach for the stars.

An accomplished photographer and painter, Vince’s work was

www.indyeastend.com

shown locally at a number of exhibits, including the East End Arts Council.

He was a voracious reader, with a fervent interest in history and nonfictional accounts of World War II and other gripping battles.

Along with Alice, Vincent and Patricia, Vince is survived by his large extended family, Dawn and Scott Christ, their children Julia and Alec, George Russell and his children Brad and Brieann, and Brian and Chris Russell, and their children Liam, Matthew, Brian and Cynthia. He leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and lifelong friends whose lives have

lost a touch of luster with his loss.

Vincent Sweeney lived each day as a miracle. He will be missed always his memory will resound forever in the hearts of the many who loved him.

Services were to be held on Monday from 2 to 4 PM and 7 to 9 PM at Follett and Werner Funeral Home in Westhampton Beach. A funeral mass was set for the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Westhampton Beach on Tuesday at 11 AM with burial to follow at Westhampton Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

friend Antonia and was charmed by a two year-old fish out of water.

This was a day when I easily noticed my thoughts - there were less of them and they were crystal clear. I took in the beauty around me and simply enjoyed the moment.

Antonia is a phenomenal mom.

She gives her daughter the highest quality food, has nearly unending patience, and visibly cherishes and lives in every moment with her.

Her daughter is delightfully spirited. She loves doing things together. Nearly everything becomes a game and, of course, she’s upset when it’s over.

I thought about what excites me and upsets me these days.

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about thoughts, creation, and manifestation.

Only a month ago I was living out in Chicago. I had been there facilitating energy healing at a health clinic. While I loved both my work and the people in my life, it was also time to move on to a new chapter.

The opportunity to relocate to the Hamptons and continue the work I love manifested as well as a place to live and a way to get around. Sometimes I get pretty sappy and happy when I think about what I have experienced and created and the way it all works. There are also those other times, though, when I get worried or stuck and I need a reminder.

Right now there is a lot of possibility in my life but of course I don’t know how things will turn out. I’m excited and I like change but there is a part of me, when I’m thrown off center that thinks, “Oh, no. What should I do? What are my options? What if things don’t work?”

As I joined Toni’s family on the beach and received a lesson in hula hooping, none of those thoughts occurred to me. I was in the present and the universal energy that flows through everything and everyone, the connection between it all was crystal clear. I took a breath, feeling my life force radiating outward; a child laughed and little waves crashed. Down by the bay.

Erin Sirona is an Energy Healer. Her strength is in her powerful, open, and pure hearted approach. She facilitates sound healing, reiki, chakra balancing, and intuitive council. Her background in holistic nutrition and training as a certified yoga teacher also tie into this work. She is exhilarated and honored by the opportunity to be in service.

The courageous run of the Hampton Bays girls’ softball team finally ended on Wednesday, May 28, at the hands of the Center Moriches Red Devils.

The two teams, both perennial Class B powerhouses, have developed a healthy rivalry over recent years.

This season, left for dead, Hampton Bays rallied from the county loser’s bracket to beat the Red Devils in overtime to earn a berth in the finals

with the B title on the line.

Last Wednesday the two teams clashed again, and this time Center Moriches, hungry for the title after falling just short the last three years, came out with its hitting shoes on.

The locals drew first blood on an RBI single off the bat of Meghan Harris in the first inning but the Red Devils responded, quickly tying the score and opening a 5-1 lead after four innings. Marley Tyler smashed a two run homer

A hand very similar to this one was played in a National Tournament several years ago. Only a few teams bid to a slam and only one

team actually made 6. Most South declarers won the first trick with the spade ace and led a trump.

When West won the ace, he led another spade which was won by most teams with the spade king.

Having lost one trick to the ace of diamonds, South now needed to finesse the jack of clubs. Unfortunately, this failed for down one.

The winning line of play was different for the one successful declarer. He hoped to avoid taking the club finesse. As a result, he tried to give himself an extra chance. On the third trick he ruffed in his hand, preserving the king of spades for an important discard. Next he played the two top hearts, hoping that the doubleton queen might fall.

When that happened, the only loser was one club.

If the queen had not fallen on the

in the sixth but Center Moriches, relentless in its offensive attack, piled four unanswered runs. The finale was 9-3— had Hampton Bays won it would have forced a winnertake-all game.

There are three local teams in the State Playoffs that begin this week. On Friday Mattituck takes on Wheatley for the Long Island Class B baseball championship in a 4 PM affair at Farmingdale State College.

Pierson takes on Friends Academy for the LI Class C the same day at

Dowling – first pitch is scheduled for 4 PM there as well.

The winners play the next day – Mattituck would face Valhalla in Saugerties at noon should the Tuckers prevail Friday. Pierson will play at 5 PM against an opponent to be determined. Smithtown Christian, the Class D representative from Long Island will also play Saturday, at 2 PM. The Lady Red Devils will play Thursday against Oyster Bay for the Long Island Class B softball title in Uniondale. Pierson/Shelter Island, the LI Class C representative, will play Saturday at St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue at 5 PM.

second heart, he could have played his remaining high spade and discarded the jack of hearts and ruff a heart. If the hearts divide 3-3, go back to dummy with the queen of trumps and discard the jack of clubs on dummy’s fourth heart. If neither of these good things happen, South

could still try the finesse in clubs.

Another Tiger Setback When Tiger Woods announced last week he’d miss this month’s U.S. Open, my initial reaction was “ho hum.” After undergoing back surgery in March, Woods will miss his second Major of the year, and his status for The Open and the PGA Championship remain in doubt.

Woods admitted to not yet progressing beyond chipping and putting while refusing to put a timetable on his return. There’s no question I want to see Woods return

to his peak form this season. But, it seems highly unlikely we will see the best of Tiger before next spring.

After last week’s announcement, there was still plenty of speculation regarding Tiger’s ability to capture his 15th major this season. Headlines such as “Tiger Can Still Win a Major if . . .” or “What Tiger Needs to do to Win a Major this Season . . .” were scattered around papers coast-tocoast and on the Internet.

But, why? Ever since his return

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

from scandal in 2010, Tiger has proven time and time again he is not the golfer or intimidator he once was.

Regardless of when Tiger Woods returns, there is absolutely zero reason to believe he will immediately return to the top of the golf world. Currently, Woods is technically the third- ranked player in the world behind Adam Scott and Henrik Stenson. But, that’s nothing more than a formality. There is a slew of fresh, young talent on the PGA Tour.

Granted, one of two hasn’t yet developed into a force on tour, each tournament is more competitive because the fields are deeper than ever before. We may not be able to pinpoint exactly who will beat Tiger when he returns, but the list of how many are capable of beating Tiger

500 NOW THRU LABOR DAY UNLIMITED GX & SPINHAMPTON ®

is extensive.

Tiger supporters point to the final two Majors being played at Royal Liverpool (The Open) and Valhalla (PGA). Tiger has won on both courses -- Royal Liverpool in 2006, and Valhalla in 2000. While I believe that can be a confidence boost for Woods, being months removed from back surgery would negate any mental gains brought on by a specific course. Even as we approach six years of no Major victories for Tiger, our minds still trick us into thinking he is superhuman.

Yes, he once was as close to it as any golfer in history. But, no more.

When next week’s U.S. Open ends, Tiger will have missed 25 percent of all Majors since the 2008 U.S. Open.

Including two this season, Woods has missed four other majors; two the year following knee surgery in 2008, and two in 2011 because of knee and Achilles injuries.

There’s no question that Tiger Woods has as good a chance as anybody to make a miraculous comeback and win a couple tournaments, maybe even a Major, this season. But, it’s time to stop giving him the benefit of the doubt.

He’s keeps proving to us that he is no longer the golfer he was during his prime years. All we do by hyping up “what might be” is set ourselves, fans, and Tiger, up for failure.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

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

Boat Insurance – Friend Or Foe? An Update The boating season is now officially open, even if the weather hasn’t been particularly conducive! However, one thing you ought to do before getting underway is make sure your insurance is in place.

To File Or Not To File Most of us are familiar with insurance from owning a car. I don’t know about you but the fear of “assigned risk” and massive spikes in the cost of annual insurance premiums keeps me from putting in for anything on my car unless an asteroid landed on it and totaled the car.

How does that translate into boat insurance and, unlike your car, where it is mandated by state law that you must have it, do I need it?

As noted via a prior column, most boats that do sink do so right in their slip or out on their moorings. Insurance premiums for such losses can run from a couple of hundred dollars a year to thousands, depending on the value of the boat and the electronic package it carries.

It makes sense, to me at least, to protect that open-bow 19-foot Seahunt with the 150 hp Merc on her transom, worth $20 million when you bought her, for a couple of hundred dollars a year, just in case.

Also, as you read in a prior column on groundings, you just might need towing - and insurance covers that for a relatively small amount, say $100 a year.

Why protect that bow rider if you really take great care to ensure that all the through hulls are supple, that the battery is well maintained, and all the scuppers are kept clean?

Well, if you can assure yourself of such caring attention, maybe it is worth booking the bet.

Put the $250 you would have

spent in a coffee can and save it year after year. You won’t get to $20,000 in your life time but it wouldn’t be the worst thing to take $1,000 out of that coffee can one day and buy a new GPS with a big color screen for the boat. (Did I say that you and the boat are getting older and that small black-and-white GPS is going to be impossible to see one day?)

But, from a personal experience, I had a neighbor’s boat break off its mooring during the nearly monthlong nor’easter we had in October of 2005 and it sent down on my very well maintained 25-feet Chris Craft launch. She sank in seconds on her mooring.

It took four days for the storm to abate enough for my commercial tower to be able to raise her.

Insurance company didn’t need too much convincing that I wasn’t derelict in maintaining the boat. It also helped that I told the truth on the application when I said it would be on a mooring and not fast to a dock at a marina.

But what if it had just sunk on her mooring because the scuppers got clogged with leaves and, eventually, she filled with water from rain and sank as the battery drained down to nothing?

BTW, if doesn’t have to rain much. Just enough to have the boat sit lower in the water than she was designed for. Then, wind-driven wave action can ship some water aboard – causing your pride and joy to sit even lower! A vicious cycle, leading to a sinking.

Any insurance company is going to look at such facts and consider assigning some blame to you.

Translation? Less than full book value.

How about if the wire running from the battery to the bilge pump was found to have been chafed?

Not enough to short out, which you might catch a number of ways, such as the circuit breaker tripping, but enough to reduce the juice driving the 1,000gph bilge pump to a trickle.

When the insurance company’s surveyor finds that, they will assign some amount of blame to you for not properly maintaining your boat. Translation? Less than full book value.

Look, if you deal with the major insurance carriers, their staffs are generally well-trained and they are not out to cheat you. But they aren’t Santa Claus either.

If the facts are friendly, you will get what you paid for and you will get it with a smile. When my 25’ was sunk, for the first 24 hours I was walking around like I had lost

Then, I said to myself, “It is time for a new boat. Thank God this is only a money issue.” And the insurance company was fast with the settlement, with a smile.

However, if you haven’t been giving your maritime baby the caring she needs, or ensuring that she is getting it from the dock master, you will find that the kindly insurance adjuster can be as cold as a January arctic blast across Moriches Bay. They are neither your friend nor your foe.

They are your insurance company. Give your vessel good care and attention. Let the facts always be friendly.

But check out whether you are covered for environmental damages like fuel spills associated with the sinking.

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

Peconics The Jessup’s Neck area continues to be the hot spot for the porgies.

Chumming is a must. Bay catches include weakfish to six pounds, blues and fluke. Roger’s Rock has been hot and cold, but the chum again is a

must.

Shorebound/Beaches/Canal The Shinnecock Canal is holding a lot of short fluke, a few blues, a stray weakfish here and there along with some quality striped bass for those who can float some live bunker. Sea robins, too, are being taken by the ton.

Shinnecock Inlet jetties the bluefish continue to ravage baits meant for bass and fluke. If you want to target the blues get down there in the evening and toss diamond jigs, or any tins. There are some decent striped bass taking bucktails and rubber baits in the dark. The ocean beaches have a few bass and blues to tangle with if you put in your time to learn the patterns.
