GAY MARRIAGE AND AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL There are so many “turkey baster” babies of gay couples in the Hamptons that a lot of these kids are going to grow up thinking that Thanksgiving is Father’s Day. It’s wonderful to see the East End filled with gay couples proudly walking with their healthy and happy children. The amount of pure love these parents show for their kids is heartwarming to see. They fuss over their children and give them unrequited attention and unconditional love. Run into a gay parent and set aside a half-hour to be shown picture after picture of “THE BABY.” I think it’s beautiful, and for the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would object to gay couples marrying, adopting and having kids. This is why the decision of the Supreme Court on gay marriage makes me so, so happy. Kudos to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy for his vote and his voice, which helped make it all happen. As for those who oppose this wonderful law that can only make
a lot of people happy and, frankly, harms no one, I say: If the Catholic Church, or any church for that matter, does not want to perform or honor gay weddings, they will be legally protected on that position. There is a separation of church and state. As for those individuals who, for the most part, cite God’s opposition to gay marriage, I ask: Did God talk to you about this subject personally? No. These are people who believe they have a very special relationship with God, and they never hesitate to decide whose side God is on, in any issue. God, it turns out, is always on their side. In this case, they believe that God has an opinion, and God is against gay marriage. I disagree. I believe that there is a loving God who wants everyone to be happy, and I believe that God agrees with the last paragraph of Justice Kennedy’s words. If you haven’t read them before, read them now: “It would misunderstand these men
REAL ESTATE
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
and women to say that they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.” Now you know why I trust no politician but have so much respect for the Supreme Court – even when I don’t agree with a decision they make. Why don’t I trust politicians? Because I have been lied to and manipulated by every president in my lifetime, starting with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I’m a staunch Republican. I was and am a George W. fan. He reminded me of Harry Truman, who was much maligned during and for years after his presidency. Truman was blamed for dropping the atomic bomb and for the Korean War. Truman was one of the three greatest presidents of my lifetime (Eisenhower and Reagan being the other two). I’m a renegade Republican who believes you cannot have too fiscally conservative a president, nor too socially liberal a Supreme Court. That means when it comes to my freedom, I don’t trust any politician. I rely on the Supreme Court to guard my freedom and protect me from any weak, scheming president and any dumber-than-dirt Congress. Let me explain that when I say “liberal,” I don’t mean judges like Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who are lockstep Democrats and vote the
IN THE NEWS
same way every time. Or, on the conservative side, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, who are lockstep Republicans and can be counted on to vote the same way no matter the issue. My idea of a great Chief Justice is John Roberts, who is under fire because he votes the issues as he sees them, and, of course, Anthony Kennedy, who – in the spirit of Sandra Day O’Connor – has the swing vote and uses his power well. You never know where Roberts or Kennedy are going but I always respect where they wind up, even when I don’t agree with their decisions. This stance makes me no friends on either side of the political spectrum. Frankly, I don’t care. Anyway, it’s the Independence Day holiday, and a lot of our gay friends can get married and sing the words of the song printed below louder than ever. It’s “America the Beautiful.” The music, the words and the sentiment never fail to bring me close to tears. I’m the child of immigrants who bought the dream of those words for me and for my children and for my children’s children. They picked the only country in the world where dreams truly do come true. O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

Win Some, Lose Some By Kitty Merrill
No one walked away a total winner. The curfews can be implemented, but the trip restriction needs to wait. Last week in federal court, Judge Joanna Seybert gave a little something to both sides in the airport battle. Opponents launched a lawsuit almost immediately after the E a s t H a m p t o n To w n B o a r d adopted three local laws enacting restrictions at the facility in an effort to mitigate the incessant din of jets and helicopters. Lawyers for the opponents, predominantly aircraft industry insiders, asked the court to issue a restraining order to keep the town from enforcing the laws until the suit was settled. Judge Seybert upheld two of the local laws – one establishing a mandatory curfew from 11 PM to 7 AM at the airport, and another setting an extended curfew of 8 PM to 9 AM for craft deemed “noisy.” She temporarily enjoined the third law, which would limit craft to no more than one trip per week. “We are gratified that the court enjoined the one-trip limit, finding it to be drastic and unreasonable. We are carefully reviewing the decision and appellate options regarding the curfews,” said Loren Riegelhaupt, spokesman for the Friends of East Hampton Airport Coalition. Town officials see the court’s decision as an affirmation of East Hampton’s legal right to adopt rules designed to mitigate airport noise. In her ruling Judge Seybert noted, “it cannot be argued that the Town lacked the data to support a finding of a noise problem at the Airport.” Supervisor Larry Cantwell said, “We’re pleased the judge has acknowledged that the Town was justified in adopting restrictions to provide relief to the growing number of people who are negatively affected by aircraft noise. Although we regret that one of the key laws cannot be enforced for the time being, we are gratified that the Court recognized that the law allows the kind of restrictions that are essential to protect the residents of this Town.” Enforcement of the local laws will begin tomorrow at 12:01 AM. Town Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez is the town board liaison to the airport. She offered, “The Court’s decision today is an important first step, but we must
recognize that our opponents are well funded and will not give up easily. This will be a long process, not just for the pending case in federal court but also for the many other actions filed against operations at the Airport. In light of today’s ruling, however, we encourage our opponents to rethink their strategy. It’s time to do what’s best for the Town and adapt aircraft operations to fit our reasonable restrictions.”

Happy Fourth! By Emily Toy
This year, America will celebrate its 239th year of independence. Fourth of July is, and will continue to be, a reminder of those who fought for a free nation. We celebrate them this year and every year to come. Here on the East End, July Fourth is the apex of summer. It’s a time for barbecues, parties, parades, fireworks, cookouts, festivals, and celebrating all things summer. It’s our busy season, with locals and visitors alike enjoying (and working) unique businesses on both the North and South Fork. In essence, it’s what we wait for all year. This year, there are dozens of activities celebrating the Fourth.
Here’s a roundup of what’s happening to celebrate America’s birthday. Today marks the start of the North Sea Fire Department’s 70th Annual Firemen’s Carnival. On Friday, in honor of the Fourth, there’ll be fireworks around 10 PM. Located at North Sea Firemen’s Field, 118 Noyac Road in Southampton.

Plea To Keep The Stars Shining For 17 years the annual Stars Over Montauk fireworks show has colored the skies over Umbrella Beach on The Fourth of July. The show might not make it to a twentieth celebration. It might not even make it till next year. Unless generous contributors come forth, the Montauk Chamber of Commerce may not be able to handle the cost of the ’works, reportedly around $25K. Last year donations fell short by $14K and this year could be worse. Last year community members in Shelter Island set up a GoFundMe page to solicit donations for the annual fireworks show on Sunset Beach. The effort was successful, so Montauk counterparts are trying the same idea. They set up their page last April. As of Monday morning, $1250 had been raised, with donations from just six people over the course of two months. To donate, visit http://www. gofundme.com/montaukfw15 The most recent update on the page reports just under $8000 collected so far. Given thousands flood “The End” to see the show each year, if each spectator gave just a little . . . Beach in Montauk Saturday and Sunday. Local songstress Nancy Atlas will perform a pre-fireworks sunset set beginning at 5 PM on Saturday. Local reggae favorites Winston Irie and Twister take the stage together on Sunday starting at 5 PM. Call 631668-6868 or visit www.navybeach. com. Located at 16 Navy Road. In Southampton, all are welcome to the largest Fourth of July parade on all of Long Island. It begins at Railroad Plaza, continuing down North Main Street, Main Street, and Jobs Lane, ending at the review stand at Monument Square at Agawam Park. Starts at 10 AM. For more information call Bob Grisnik at 631283-1506. The Southampton Arts Center and WPPB hosts a post-parade party Saturday afternoon at the center on Job Lane in Southampton Village, where the parade ends. Enjoy hot dogs, live music, face painting and more from 1 to 3 PM. For more information email Jenny Gardner at jgardner@southamptoncenter.org or call 631-283-0967.

Almost A Mil More By May By Kitty Merrill
The Community Preservation Fund took in almost a million dollars more this year than during the same time frame in 2014 . . . and last year was the largest year for CPF revenue in the history of the program. Approved by voters in 1998, the CPF began amassing money the following year, deriving revenue from a two-percent tax on most real estate transactions. The CPF is a dedicated fund, its proceeds to be used for the preservation of open space, historic properties, and farmland. Since its inception, the CPF has generated over $1 billion. It expires in 2030, but may be renewed by an affirmative vote on a ballot proposition. Assemblyman Fred Thiele authored the legislation creating t h e Pe c o n i c B a y C o m m u n i t y Preservation Fund, which applies to the five East End Towns on Long Island. He reported this week that 2015 revenues for the first five months tallied $39.25 million, 2.6 percent higher than last year’s $38.26 million for the
same timeframe. The number of transactions for the first five months of 2015 was 2978 compared to 2940 a year ago. “This reflects the continued strength in East End real estate and the continued availability to local Towns of the necessary revenues to protect community character,” Thiele observed. Southold Town saw the biggest jump in revenue, with $2.16 million collected during 2015’s first five months compared to $1.7 million last year for an increase of just over 27 percent. Southampton Town was second in increased revenue, but the take in the land of the mariners improved more moderately, just over five percent, going from $22.5 million last year to $23.69 million this year. Shelter Island has an increase of 3.7 percent on the books, with this year seeing $.85 million collected compared to $.82 mil last year. Riverhead Town often sees a roller coaster rise and fall in CPF revenues. This time around, it’s a dip of 22.8 percent, with revenues dropping from $1.58 million last
year to $1.22 million this year. East Hampton also experienced a decrease in CPF revenue. Collections
are down 2.8 percent the first five months of 2015 compared to last year, same time. That’s $11.33 million versus $11.66 million. Throughout the course of its life, the CPF has preserved over 10,000 acres, over 3800 of them in Southampton and nearly 2000 in East Hampton Town.

On Sunday at roughly 7:10 AM the Bridgehampton Fire Department responded to 794 Sagg Main Street in Sagaponack for a structure fire. Arriving units discovered a smoke condition in the house, and called for mutual aid from the East Hampton and Sag Harbor Fire Departments. The cause of the fire was soon found to be an electrical malfunction in the ceiling of a second floor bathroom that was likely caused by rodents; and after an investigation by the Southampton Town Fire Marshal’s office all units were soon placed back in service.

Eat Fresh, Buy Local As of last Saturday, Southampton Town’s Flanders Farm Fresh Food Market is open for business, and it’s set to sell local produce, pastries, breads and more throughout the upcoming summer months. Setting up shop at the David W. Crohan Community Center at 655 Flanders Road, the youth-staffed market’s been operating every summer for the past four years.
In years past, Flanders residents had no readily accessible fresh food or a supermarket with local, seasonal produce. “The spring has proved a slow start to the growing season for all farmers on the East End, with most crops about two weeks behind schedule, but we do have some exciting news,” said Beth Young, Market Manager.
This year produce will come from the Sagaponack Potato Company and Pike Farms in Sagaponack, The Milk Pail in Water Mill, Anderson Farms in Riverhead, the Wesnofske Farm and Sang Lee Farm (both in Peconic). Breads and pastries will be from the Blue Duck Bakery in Southampton and East End Apiaries will provide a wildflower honey.

Apple cider will be available as well. Aside from providing the area with local, seasonal produce, the market serves as a good opportunity for local youths to find work. The market provides six jobs every year. This year, the market is accepting outside vendor applications for the first time. If interested in becoming a vendor, call Young at 516-983-2939 or email byoung@ southamtpontown.gov. Vendor fees are $25 per month or $75 for the season. The market will be open every Saturday through October 17. E.T.

Making A Sound Recovery Sixty five million dollars to protect, preserve, and restore the Long Island Sound. Last week Representatives Steve Israel (D-NY), Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), members of the House Long Island Sound Caucus, introduced bipartisan legislation to protect and restore the Long Island Sound. In recent years, the Long Island Sound has suffered severely from issues such as pollution. The Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act ensures the Sound is protected and restored for generations to come by authorizing $65 million in funding per year through 2020 for a water quality and shore restoration program and additional focus, oversight and coordination of federal activities related to the restoration of the Long Island Sound. “If my congressional district was a factory town, Long Island Sound would be the factory, generating more than $5.2 billion in direct wages and supporting at least 190,000 jobs,” said Congressman Israel, lead Democratic sponsor of the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act. “As Chair of Congress’ Long Island Sound Caucus, I have no greater local environmental and economic priority than getting this passed and signed by the President.” “I am proud to help lead the effort in the United States House to pass the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act,” said Congressman Zeldin, lead Republican sponsor of the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act. “This legislation is necessary to help protect the Long Island Sound; an essential environmental resource that is so important to the life, culture and economy of Long Island.” “Long Island Sound is a regional and a national treasure, as well as a critical economic, recreational, and environmental resource,” said Congresswoman DeLauro. “We have a responsibility to ensure its protection and preservation. As co-chair of the Congressional Long Island Sound Caucus, I will continue to fight for the funding needed to preserve this pristine, beautiful and vibrant ecosystem so that generations of Americans can continue to enjoy it.” New York Senators Kirsten

Green Building With Bill And Ben
What exactly is Green Architecture and how does our community create a built environment that works harmoniously with the natural environment and at the same time provides a healthy and diverse support system for viable social and economic landscapes? Those are the questions Bill and Ben Chaleff of Chaleff & Roger Architects from Water Mill will address during a three-part series of illustrated workshops sponsored by the South Fork Natural History Museum this month. SoFo, the only state-of-the-art natural history museum on the South Fork of Long Island, is continuing its commitment to educate people about conserving the environment with workshops focusing on Green Architecture. They’re designed to address questions, concerns, and details
surrounding the theory of Green Architecture, and the ways in which our community can reduce its carbon footprint and integrate eco-friendly products into their daily lives. The workshops will begin at 7:30 PM, and will be held on three consecutive Thursdays -- July 9, 16, and 23. “To truly understand the issue of Green Architecture, we must look for better options than those we commonly call upon,” Bill Chaleff explained. “It is our hope that those who participate in this workshop will gain a deeper understanding of how we can all help to reshape our built environment, which is, after all, the armature for our social and cultural landscapes, and re-establish a healthy relationship with our natural landscape,” adds Chaleff. The workshop, which will
focus on ways to make the East End’s Built Environment more sustainable, will allow ample time for questions and a discussion. To s i g n u p f o r t h e G r e e n Architecture workshops, please call SoFo at 631/537-9735. T he mis s io n o f the S o uth Fork Natural History Museum & Nature Center is to stimulate interest in, advance knowledge of, and foster appreciation for the natural environment, with special emphasis on the unique natural history of Long Island’s South Fork. SoFo is dedicated to promoting nature education, in the museum and in the field, through hands on study of the South Fork’s native flora, fauna, and ecosystems. It’s located at 377 Bridgehampton Sag Harbor Turnpike, in Bridgehampton and is open seven days a week from 10 AM to 4 PM.

Accolades For Autumn
Hampton Bays High School senior Autumn Tlockowski received the Lt/C Fred G. Roffe, SN Memorial Scholarship at a ceremony held last Friday. The Peconic Bay Power Squadron created the scholarship to honor the memory of their long time member and Squadron Educational Officer who lost his battle with cancer in December 2012. The $1000 award and certificate was presented by squadron commander Robert SanAngelo and Roffe’s widow, Fran. Fred Roffe was a graduate of Georgia Tech who spent 35 years working as an engineer for Grumman Aerospace. He was a resident of Hampton Bays and a squadron member for 44 years where he earned the grade of Senior Navigator, the highest level of educational proficiency available. As an instructor, he created many homemade teaching aids and could explain even the most complex concepts in a way anyone could understand. A lifelong boater, Fred not only taught advanced courses to squadron members, but also public safe boating classes for anyone who was interested in learning how to safely enjoy area waterways. Scholarship recipient Autumn Tlockowski will be moving on to college as a full time student of Animal and Veterinar y Sciences. She has acceptances and scholarship offerings from several universities, but no final decision has been made yet. During her high school career, she participated in several varsity sports and community service activities while maintaining an excellent academic record. Her volunteer work in animal rescue and husbandry, including an internship at an animal clinic, will all help with the focus of her continued studies. T h e Pe c o n i c B a y Po w e r Squadron is Eastern Long Island’s local unit of The United States Power Squadrons, the premier boating organization dedicated to “Safe Boating Through Education” since 1914.

Town Begins Coastal Planning East Hampton Town’s looking towards the sea and protecting the shore. During the East Hampton Town Board’s June 18 meeting, members voted to convene a Coastal Resiliency Project Advisory Committee. C o m p r i s e d o f 10 c o a s t a l planning experts at the local, county and state level, the group is charged with guiding town officials in the timely development and implementation of the Coastal Assessment Resiliency Plan (CARP), the result of a recent $250,000 New York State grant. “This committee will help us with the scientific analysis needed to support effective coastal management and deliver this CARP plan over the next 24 months. This
will be a comprehensive planning approach and involve extensive public workshops to gain critical inputs on development of the coastal resiliency plan,” Kim Shaw, East Hampton Town’s Natural Resources Director, explained. According to a press release from Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, town board liaison to the Natural Resources Department, “This approach represents another step forward by East Hampton Town in the leadership required to build a comprehensive coastal plan . . . for the first time, East Hampton Town now has dedicated funding in the form of two major coastal planning grants. Additionally, training of the Natural Resources and Planning Departments and the engagement of a coastal engineering firm will
lead to the development of a longrange coastal plan. This work will be in keeping with the Town’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (LWRP) and will strengthen the resiliency of East Hampton. The needs of current and future generations will be addressed through broad-based public involvement, in order to develop and implement a community plan. It will also allow us to partner with the Army Corps of Engineers as they shape their much anticipated Fire Island to Montauk Point (FIMP) proposal, which is slated for release this summer.” Complete details of the planning process including timelines, project objectives and milestones will be communicated via the Town’s website.

Fraud Tops $70 Million Statewide New York’s Medicaid billing system is failing to catch waste, fraud, errors, and abuse. According to Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, “Millions are pouring out the door for double billings, questionable procedures and to crooked providers.” Two audits he released this week revealed more than $70 million in questionable Medicaid claims and payments. Excessive services, including 41 dental exams for one patient over the course of three years and about a dozen providers who should have been kicked out of the program for wrongdoing, were discovered. The first audit revealed the Department of Health made a s m uc h as $39.6 m i l l i o n i n Medicaid overpayments through a reimbursement method intended to more accurately compensate providers for medical procedures. DiNapoli’s auditors determined that the state may have overpaid as much as $32.1 million for services that exceeded Medicaid limits and $7.5 million for duplicate claims. Instituted in 2008, the ambulatory patient groups (APG) payment methodology uses the diagnosis, procedures performed, and the amount and type of resources used, to calculate the provider payment. DiNapoli’s auditors, however, found that APG payments are not subject to the same checks and balances as other Medicaid payments. For the period Dec. 1, 2008 through May 29, 2013, they identified $13.6 million in APG claims that would have been suspended for review – and potentially denied – if they faced the same controls as other Medicaid claims. Auditors determined another $18.5 million of the potential overpayments was for excessive services that would have been automatically denied if they were treated the same as non-APG claims. Most of the payments, which added up to $17.5 million, were for dental procedures. Medicaid limits dental cleaning an d d en tal ex am se r vi ce s to twice per year, yet in one case, DiNapoli’s auditors found Medicaid reimbursed a clinic for seven dental cleanings for one patient in a single year. Medicaid reimbursed another clinic for 41 dental exams (totaling $2,771) for one patient over three years. Claims such as these would have been automatically denied if they were billed by a dentist instead of a clinic.
Medicaid also overpaid more than $7.5 million in duplicate claims to 2,244 doctors and other medical professionals who separately billed the state for 224,673 services that were also included on claims that clinics and other outpatient facilities submitted. In each case, one payment was made to the practitioner and a second payment was made to the clinic or outpatient facility.
Auditors also found DOH has provided weak guidance to clinic providers, resulting in confusion and misinterpretation of payment rules. A separate audit of Medicaid claims processing from April 1, 2014 through Sept. 30, 2014 found another $33 million in actual and potential Medicaid overpayments. DiNapoli’s auditors identified claim processing problems that led to many of the payments. DOH

officials took prompt actions to correct certain controls, including one that will save the Medicaid program an estimated $2.4 million a year. The audit also identified providers in the Medicaid program who were charged with or found guilty of crimes that violate health care programs’ laws or regulations. DOH terminated eight of the providers identified, but the status of six other providers was still under review at the time audit fieldwork was completed. About $32.1 million of the improper payments were avoided or recovered as a result of the auditors’ work.

RICK’S SPACE The Revolution(s) This weekend marks the 240th anniversary of the American Revolution, caused because colonists who came from Europe were tired of paying taxes to their fatherlands across the ocean. No mention is ever made about the Native Americans, who didn’t have a say in how their country was run before the Revolutionary War or after it. That’s another story altogether. It’s also the last weekend for the Grateful Dead, who are celebrating their 50th, and final year with three concerts over the weekend. The three final shows in Chicago drew 350,000 official ticket requests, and many, many more through the Deadhead network of traders and online sites like Stub Hub. If you can’t make it to the shows you can stream them on your computer, cellphone, or iPad, or you can go to a movie theatre where it will be simulcast. You can also watch it at home on PPV cable.
Afterwards, there will be the commemorative DVD and CDs and probably a special on TV and undoubtedly a concert movie. All of this would have amused Jerry Garcia, who with a twinkle in his eye would gently remind the other band members that the goal wasn’t to be a commercial success but to make important music. But he accepted the phenomena the Grateful Dead became. The band had its first and only radio hit 23 years after it first started performing. “Are you concerned some of the deadheads will think you are selling out?” David Letterman asked him. “We’ve been selling for 23 years but no one has been buying!” Jerry replied, only half serious. Before he was consumed by heroin addiction Garcia was indeed the soul of the band. His soaring guitar riffs, always searching, were the bridge that

moved the music into another place, sending believers on a cosmic journey often aided by hallucinogenic drugs. These dilated pupils were the heart of the band, the mythical deadheads who followed the Dead around from venue to venue. I am proud to say I’ve been on the bus and experienced the unspeakable moments when the music took me to a place only other deadheads can fathom. Back then we were outcasts. We dressed weirdly and spoke about the music with reverence. We were a renegade tribe. People who haven’t been to a show assume the music was deafening. In reality, sometimes it was barely audible, Jerry bringing it down to only a single guitar strum, singing a heart wrenching song about some ne’er do well who never got a break in life. There’s St. Stephen, the loser no one in the neighborhood liked. Gentle Jack Jones, the once powerful farmer turned moonshiner who wasted away from hard work and alcohol, the Wharf Rat, who “did time for some other f**ker’s crime,” and so it went. Many of the characters were broken by drugs or alcohol or failed marriages or from abusive families, but found a niche in life and a reason to smile, however wryly. To me a musician lets the music do the talking. The Dead would walk onstage unannounced, tune up for a bit, and when Jerry put his cigarette down it was time to play. Once I heard them stop a song midstream and start over because it didn’t sound right. There were no corny intros about what the song was inspired by, no dedications to fallen heroes, no shout outs like “This one is for you, Cleveland!”
IN THE NEWS
All of us from my generation are like Stephen and Jack, not just the deadheads. We’ve watched the long hair turn gray and fall out, and once proud gaits grow slow from operations and arthritis. The hearts that raced from adrenaline and god knows what else get clogged and swollen, and quick minds we tried so hard to dull are finally beginning to fog. We are getting old, trudging toward the ultimate destination. All of us. There was that glorious time, though, when we were young and strong and willing to stand up for what we believed – to stand up for what was right. Yes, it happened in 1775, but it happened in on October 21 1967 too, when one million young Americans marched into our nation’s capitol and shouted “No More War!” That day there were tanks in the courtyards, armed soldiers in every building, and CIA operatives urging the crowd to riot. We were, in every sense, on the verge of revolution. The government blinked. Jefferson Airplane wrote a song about it: “We are all outlaws in the eyes of America In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge f**k hide and deal We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent And young We are forces of chaos and anarchy Everything they say we are we are And we are very proud of ourselves Tear down the walls! Hopefully the young will always stand up to tyranny. May the music never stop.

Insight Independent/Ed Gifford
Let Freedom Ring July Fourth to many of us means the epicenter of the summer season. The Hamptons are maxed out with visitors, our roads clogged with cars, and patience is already beginning to wear thin. On a broader scale, though, it is a celebration of our freedom -- the day the colonists said enough to “taxation without representation” and formed the United States. It would be 90 more years before black Americans were freed, and they endured unspeakable prejudice for a century or more – and in some places still do. Women couldn’t vote in this country until 1920. But the times they are indeed changin’. We had out first Catholic president in 1960, our first black president in 2008, and as of right now its odds-on we will elect a woman president in the next election. Things are by no means perfect. There are still too many fatcats who in their zeal to gather obscene amounts of wealth will step on the backs of the working class and shatter their dreams. On the other side of the coin, there are those who are not contributing their fair share, who take advantage of the system and live off the generosity of our government. They take from those who really do need a helping hand. During the course of history we have done some things to be ashamed of but more to be proud of. Our young men and women have always answered the call of war and right or wrong, have always shown courage and valor. We saved the free world when we fought the good fight on two fronts during World War II – a lot of blood was left behind in Europe, the Pacific, and elsewhere, but we never waivered in our resolve to prevail in the conflict. There is still too much anger and hatred, too much of a gulf between rich and poor, too much prejudice and injustice. But when measured against the rest of the world, America still sits at the top of the pack – there’s no better place to be. And of all the places in this country, not too many can hold a candle to the East End. May every day be a beach day this summer!

The Public’s Right
Dear Rick, There will be a public hearing tomorrow night, July 2, at East Hampton Town Hall at 6:30 PM on the South Flora Nature Preserve Management Plan. The plan is posted on the town’s website under the “Agendas/PSA” heading. The web address, http://tinyurl. com/SouthFlora, is a direct link. The Nature Preserve Committee that wrote the plan believes that it “is an
exemplary balance of the preservation of an important and fragile environment alongside the public’s right of access; a right which has always been a stated goal in town documents.” As with all public hearings, I encourage the public to become informed and participate in person or in writing. ZACHARY COHEN, CHAIR
Not The Solution Dear Editor, Three items: Deer kill. Your editorial using facts, rightly criticized the surgical and chemical
By Ed Gifford solutions for reducing deer population. It concluded by saying “it’s not a solution.” Earlier the editor stated that the hunt with bows and arrows and rifles is not the solution. The solution to doing nothing and saying that nothing so far proposed is the solution is a massive and growing deer problem that someone, many someones, pay for. The fact is, most of us eat meat neatly Saran-wrapped from the supermarket, and don’t have to contemplate the unpleasant before: that these animals lived an inhumane, brutal, heavily drugged (chemically-induced), flea and fly-infested life, penned up almost immobile for their whole lives. My thinking is that the one shot kill by a skilled hunter for meat his family and others can eat, and distribute to friends as well, is far more humane than any other no solution so far suggested by The Independent. Moreover, a growing incidence of Lyme disease is no solution either. I know it may come as a surprise, but aircraft make noise. The people who had knowingly purchased homes near
an airport had to have been aware that low-flying planes, as well as low flying progressives, make noise. These progs also might have had good reason to suspect, considering the popularity of the area where they had purchased their homes, that more homes and more aircraft will be forthcoming. My thinking is that these selfish and self-centered Progressives have no justification to attempt to increase their own real estate values and redistribute the wealth on the backs of the rest of us, by punishing innocent aircraft owners and pilots and the entire economy of the area after they had knowingly made their decision about where they will live. If anyone is at fault for being annoyed by aircraft noise, they are, who have willingly and knowingly purchased their homes adjacent to an airport or in the flight path to. The solution to any inconvenience from purchasing in a neighborhood you didn’t want to live in is called due diligence or “buyer beware.” Uber is a transportation company as soon as it attempted to operate as a taxi Continued on Page 30.

service, even if it did so less frequently than how it might have operated otherwise. Just about all taxi and limo services around the globe are regulated because they are public transportation businesses, and the public interest is better served by regulation that covers numerous issues for public transport, such as safety, driver behavior, car cleanliness, and fair fares. UBER needed to be regulated throughout the world yesterday, last year, and not just in East Hampton, and “free enterprise,” which I support, has nothing to do with it. ANDREW BENJAMIN Editor’s Note: You are mistaken. We have always been supportive of our local hunters and their right to feed their families. We did not state hunting with bows and arrows was not a solution. We opined an organized regional cull, undertaken by upisland hired guns who don’t know the lay of the land as espoused by the Long Island Farm Bureau, would have killed thousands of deer and amounted to nothing less than a slaughter.

Mad At MADD Letter to the Editor, How disappointing to see MADD shilling for Uber (“MADD Joins Fight. . .”, The Independent, 6/24). In its statement, MADD, disregarding the facts, buys into Uber’s battle plan that East Hampton Town needs Uber to protect it against drunk drivers. MADD laments that East Hampton is “in the county [Suffolk] with the most alcoholrelated incidents in the state.” The crux of MADD’s reasoning is: (i) that it supports new and emerging technologies (apparently despite Uber’s methods); and (ii) that Suffolk County’s woes = East Hampton Town’s woes, even though Suffolk County, has a population of 1,502,968, is the largest of Long Island’s four counties and the second-largest county in New York State, and measures 86 miles long and 26 miles wide. East Hampton Town, has a population of 21,457, and measures 70 square miles, with 25 miles stretching from Wainscott to Montauk Point, and is about six miles wide and less than a mile at its narrowest. Is MADD seriously hypothecating that East Hampton’s inclusion in Suffolk County means that we are a Town rocked by drunk drivers and can be saved only by Uber? MADD appears not to speak with local knowledge of the circumstances. Absent a local tie, MADD is inserting itself into a situation with no idea of the facts or

history of this fight. One would hope that MADD would be more protective of its reputation and want to get the facts straight before speaking. For me, MADD’s statement only detracts from its credibility. Maybe it would make a difference to MADD if it knew that Uber has no intention of complying with our local laws. It wants to bulldoze its way into town and then suspend its service from the community when asked to comply with local taxi laws. The Uber rallying cry is everyone will drive drunk without us. MADD seems to have bought into their “cry” hook, line and sinker. It’s as though the other 370 taxis in town don’t exist. It’s as though there are no other ways to avoid driving drunk. It’s as though we didn’t avoid driving drunk before Uber came to Town. Simply put, East Hampton Town cannot waive the rules for Uber, without waiving the rules for every other taxi driver, everywhere. At that point, the Town would be right back where it started, when several
years ago it was faced with summer weekends that saw anyone with a car come to the Hamptons to participate in “taxi cab bedlam.” No one wants to go back to overwhelming numbers of drivers and cars, price gouging, or unsafe conditions for passengers, pedestrians, residents and visitors alike. Order was demanded from the chaos that exploded each weekend. And, order was restored finally with the taxi legislation now in place. Suddenly, when as a last ditch effort and in desperation, the threat of massive “drunk driving” incidents was inserted into the situation by Uber and its followers, MADD arrives to urge the town to go back to that which existed before the legislation -- total, out-of-control madness. Only laws and adherence to those laws is the way back to sanity for East Hampton Town and its residents and visitors. BEVERLY BOND Continued on Page 31.

Never Say Never Dear Rick, Poor Ted Cruz. The Canadian born Senator of Texas and just one of the slew of Republican Presidential candidates is apocalyptic at the very thought that the United States Supreme Court majority voted that marriage between two people of the same sex are now legal in all 50 states. He can’t even scurry back to his birthplace to escape the threatening onslaught since Canada has had legalized same sex marriage since 2005 under their Civil Marriage Act. What to do, what to do? In his overwhelming grief he then made however a statement that struck home and actually one that I have long advocated. I could not believe I would ever be able to agree with anything emanating from the mouth of Ted Cruz, but never say never. He suggests that judges should be voted into office such as are the Executive

Formatively and originally, the theory of a lifetime appointment was in order to avoid “Retribution� incurred by either of the other two branches, and the sole manner in which a Judge could maintain his seat was to merely exhibit good behavior. Such nonsense. I embarrassingly stand with Ted Cruz that our SCOTUS should represent the people of today’s country, not old tenets with which the judges were originally appointed and which they tend to preserve as when they entered their life long term throne until they die.

No Fly Zone To the Editor, Airline pilots in Portugal have been warned to be on the lookout for 70,000 pigeons who are trying to find their way home after being released in Spain for a race. But given the high mortality rate of
www.indyeastend.com
pigeons forced to race, pilots are more likely to encounter a UFO. Racers know full well that they are sending countless pigeons to their deaths. The birds, including mothers who are panicked because they have been separated from their mates, eggs, or chicks, must fly vast distances to return to their nests and families. Pigeons commonly perish in storms and from exhaustion, disorientation, predation, collisions with power lines, and drowning. For those who manage to survive, their lives exist on a wing and a prayer. PETA conducted a 15-month undercover investigation into some of the largest pigeon-racing operations in the U.S., including in Oklahoma and New York. One racer told PETA’s investigators that the first thing you have to learn in pigeon racing is how to kill pigeons. Racers routinely kill birds deemed not “fast enough� by drowning them, pulling off their heads, or squeezing their breasts so tightly that they suffocate. Sending pigeons to their deaths for “fun� should be illegal. JENNIFER O’CONNOR, PETA

The landlord says I’m not allowed to live with her, and she won’t be able to secure a space for us for about 6 months. I’m super nice, great with kids, cat-friendly, and love to cuddle. My mom (Annie) will provide for food and grooming costs. If I don’t find a foster home soon my mom will have to surrender me for adoption. Any interest would be greatly appreciated.

privately a new reality. Blue Star is seeing a 15 percent increase in bookings this Fourth of July, with lots of people from LA flying into the Hamptons for the holiday weekend. Users can book any type of aircraft, from a turbo prop to a helicopter. Users can also access a full list of all available empty leg flights, which are either flying to or from their point of origin empty to pick up other charter clients. This offers travelers a more affordable option, as empty leg flights are often heavily discounted just to fill the plane. Blue Star Jets actually created the empty leg category years ago – it’s now a $15 billion industry alone.

Flying private is no longer for the super-rich, those who fill the firstclass cabins can now afford to go private as well. Anyone can download and use the app, you do not need to be a member of Blue Star Jets to use it. Blue Star doesn’t have a membership program - but it has a skycard which acts as a debit card that users can load money on, thus streamlining the whole process. Blue Star Jets is different from its competitors because they require no membership fees, no aircraft acquisition costs, no monthly aircraft management fee, and no long-term contractual commitments.

Mulford Antiques Show The East Hampton Historical Society announces the return of the much-anticipated East Hampton Antiques Show to the historical grounds of the Mulford Farm on Saturday, July 18, and Sunday, July 19. Now in its ninth year, the East Hampton Antiques Show is widely recognized as the premier antiques event on eastern Long Island and a highlight of the East Hampton arts and social calendar. David Netto, an interior designer and writer, is the Honorary Chairperson of the Preview Cocktail Party Friday on July 17, which offers patrons an early buying opportunity of the impressive array of antiques, art, jewelry, and collectibles. Ticket proceeds from the Preview Cocktail Party benefit the East Hampton Historical Society. “Growing up in East Hampton gave me such a love of American architecture — the older and humbler the better, though in East Hampton we do have all kinds,” Netto commented. “The buildings that the East Hampton Historical Society celebrates and contributes so much to maintain are important because they make up the composition of one of the loveliest and bestplanned villages in America,” he added. Both the Preview Cocktail Party and the Antiques Show take place on the bucolic grounds of the Mulford Farm, located on James Lane in the heart of East Hampton Village. This historical 3.5-acre property features a restored 17thcentury farmhouse as well as several barns and outbuildings that are among the oldest on Long Island. The East Hampton Antiques Show continues to be well received by collectors and dealers alike. This popular offering of wares and art comes from a diverse assembly of more than 50 antiques and art dealers, housed in elegant white tents across the expansive greensward of the Mulford Farm. The focus of the show is on vintage decorative items for the home and garden. Classic rattan and bamboo furniture, lighting, textiles, architectural elements, American and European country decorated furniture, Art Deco and Modern, garden ornaments, wrought-iron accessories, industrial items, paintings, trade signs, period jewelry, weathervanes, and mirrors will be for sale.

Westhampton Still Sits Atop HCBL Standings
Independent/Courtesy HCBL
Chris Russo’s big blast helped Montauk beat first place Westhampton in HCBL action. By Rick Murphy
It took a mighty blast by Montauk’s Chris Russo to bring the Westhampton Aviators back down to earth. Westhampton had won seven of its last eight games when Montauk came to town Friday for a doubleheader, but the Mustangs proved early on they weren’t about to roll over. Billy McLean’s homer gave the visitors the early lead, smashing a two run homer as the Mustangs went up 4-0. Credit the Aviators, though, who chipped away and
finally evened the score in the bottom of the sixth when Matt Spruill drove home Mark Osis with a sharp single to right. That set the stage for Russo, who plays for Dowling College. He launched a thunderous grand slam to give Montauk a four run lead. The finale was 9-5. Tyler Kardas picked up the victory with two innings of shutout relief. Michael Toner silenced the Montauk bats in the nightcap, giving up only one run – another homer by Russo. Spruill and Osis were at it again, as each batted in a pair of runs en route to a 5-1 win.
Westhampton is 15-7 on the season, and the improving Mustangs are now 9-12, good for fifth place. Shelter Island, 13-8, is in second place and looking very much like a contender. Saturday the Bucks topped the Riverhead Tomcats 5-2. Anthony Alicki, the ace of the staff, earned his league-high fourth victory of the young season racked up his league-best fourth victory, improving his record to 4-0. Alicki tossed a three hitter and struck out seven, The Bucks scored four times in the second inning and added another run in the third courtesy
of a Jack Machonis single. The Tomcats bucked down. Jake Reinhardt and Ben Wright pitching combined for 5 2/3 innings of shutout and Jack Zagaja homered in the seventh and the home team scored again in the eighth to bring Riverhead with three. The Bucks’ Merritt Huber came on and shut the door and record the save. Moroney finished with a threehit day for Shelter Island, and Machonis’ two hits improved his average to .351. The North Fork Ospreys, nestled in third place with a 12-9 mark, also have their sights set on first place. They beat Southampton 4-2 Saturday thanks in part to Ryan Mahoney, who slugged a two-run homer in the second inning. The Ospreys scored again in the third on an infield error, and upped their lead to four in the eighth when Nick Heath walked and eventually scored. Danny Jacobson recorded the win, giving up four hits in eight shutout innings while striking out nine. Southampton made a last ditch effort. Rob Moore slugged a two-run homer, his 10th career blast, but Rob Vallone induced a groundout to end the game with the tying run aboard. Mahoney, Tyler Houston and Austin Guzzo all had two hits each for the winners. Southampton fell to last place with a 7-14 record.

A hand very similar to this one was played recently at an afternoon game at the Water Mill Bridge Club. With 19 high card points most declarers opened up bidding one heart and ending up in a good slam. South had to decide whether or not to finesse for the heart king when West played low after South led the heart queen. The probability of trumps being 1-1 is only slightly greater than 2-0.

When West played low many declarers played the ace and ended up one down when the club finesse lost. However, one South saw a line of play that would work even when the West won the heart king. After winning the first trick with the spade queen, the successful South decided to try for an endplay. On the second trick he played the ace of spades, discarding a club from dummy. Next he cashed the ace and king of diamonds and ruffed the 2 of spades in dummy. Finally, he ruffed dummy’s good queen of diamonds in his hand. South then led the heart queen and, when West played low, South played low from dummy. Even if East can win with the heart king, he must then lead a club from his king or give South a ruff-sluff if he leads a spade or diamond. Played well. Any comments or questions can be sent to gaman13927@aol.com.

Though some purists like to wait until just before the regular season to draft, the fact is some of the higher profile leagues draft much earlier. If you do take the plunge, remember the one rule of thumb for early drafts: don’t take injury prone players, because they have a whole preseason of games and practices to get hurt. Avoid guys with chronic hamstring problems and the like. A rule of thumb is only pick veterans who played all 16 games last season. The second thing to remember is that a whole batch of rookies enter the league, and since we haven’t even seen them practice yet, it’s important to research each carefully. The first thing to look for is opportunity. Will the youngster get the chance to play? All of the rookies have talent, but it’s the situation they are in that will determine if they get a chance to play. Once again injuries play a factor -- if the player ahead of them on the depth chart gets hurt, they move up. The best rookies may not be the most successful. Let’s take a look at some of the incoming players primed

to become impact players. The days of quarterbacks sitting and learning from the veterans are over. The top two draft picks, Jamies Winston and Marcus Mariota, will both start immediately. We suspect Mariota will be the more successful because he can run. Wide receivers: The Bears traded away Brandon Marshall, who averages 100 pass receptions a year. Rookie Kevin White is being counted on to fill the void. If he clicks with Jay Cutler he will become a star. As a general rule, though, rookie

receivers are slow to get out of the gate, as the complexities of the pro passing game are difficult to master. Running backs, on the other hand, offer instant impact. Todd Gurley is recovering from an operation but won’t be ready until October. He is by far the most talented running back in the draft, though, and it won’t be long before he surpasses Trey Mason as the Rams’ top runner. The Titans were extremely disappointed with Bishop Sankey last season. Enter David Cobb, who will split carries at first. Down the road, though, he should take over the job as long as he can master the blocking schemes. Two running backs you can grab at the end of drafts that we really like are Josh Robinson and David Johnson. The Colts need to run to take the pressure off Andrew Luck and Robinson is probably the most

talented back in camp. The word is the Arizona brain trust loves Johnson, who is also a terrific pass catcher out of the backfield. Tight end Jesse James is in a good spot – Pittsburgh. The Steelers like to involve their tight ends in the passing game and the first stringer, Heath Miller, is getting up there in age. If you are drafting in a PPR league, take a running back that catches a lot of passes with your first pick. If not, take a wide receiver. Don’t take a QB unless Luck falls to the fourth round. After that, wait . . . and wait . . . and wait. Tony Romo is usually available in the ninth round, and he puts up numbers as good as anyone’s.

Hurricanes May Miss Us – But They Leave Deadly Rip Tides Hurricane season is in gear. Bill piled up water along the eastern seaboard last week – and headed 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 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

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. Can I See A Rip Current? Often, yes. 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.
Most Important, Can I Get Out Of The Grip Of A Rip Current? If you don’t panic, and play the water’s power to your advantage, yes. 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 . . .
