To Honor ‘The Best Of The Best’ By Kitty Merrill
A prominent law professor, an internationally renowned conservationist and an acclaimed author and naturalist. The trio of honorees at this Saturday’s SoFo Goes Silver gala represents “the best of the best in their fields,” according to Andy Sabin, president of the South Fork Natural History Museum. Having the three best -- Michael Gerrard, Eric Goode, and Peter Matthiessen (posthumously) -- is “a real tribute to the museum,” Sabin summarized. A wilderness writer and part of the East End literary scene Matthiessen became a household word around these parts with the release of Men’s Lives in the 1980s. The book, one of 30 the author published, chronicled the vanishing way of life of Long Island fishermen. Matthiessen died earlier this year at the age of 86. In an obituary published in the New York Times, he was described as “our greatest modern nature writer in the lyrical tradition” by paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. His son Alex will accept the honor on Matthiessen’s behalf

The late Peter Matthiessen, environmental attorney Michael Gerrard, and conservationist Eric Goode will be honored Saturday night.
on Saturday. Goode will be recognized for conservation efforts that include founding the Turtle Conservancy and its captive breeding center, the Behler Chelonian Center in California.

Decades of unwavering interest in tortoises and turtles have left him with a wealth of first hand knowledge of the species both in captivity and in the field. Goode’s travelled to over 40 countries across the globe in furtherance of conservation initiatives, filming the work and producing a series of documentaries about his experiences in the field. With two thirds of the world’s tortoises and turtles facing extinction, he’s made it his personal mission to prevent their loss. “I’m very honored,” he said this week. Publicity is “not my milieu,” Goode added, “It’s very sweet of them to honor me.” Speaking of SoFo, he added, “I love anything or anybody that encourages young people to find the love of nature. I think it’s great!” Gerrard was of similar sentiment. “It’s gratifying to be recognized by such an important organization. SoFo plays such an important role in environmental education, I’m quite humbled by being a recipient.” When it comes to environmental education Gerrard plays a role of his own. He teaches courses on environmental law, climate change law and energy law at Columbia Law School and is director of the school’s Center for Climate Change. Professor, attorney, author and lecturer, Gerrard has held myriad prestigious positions, such as chair of the American
Bar Association’s 10,000-member Section of Environment, Energy and Resources. He’s been ranked not just one of the leading environmental lawyers in New York, but in the world, by several independent ranking agencies. He’s lectured on environmental law in countries around the globe. “Peter Matthiessen, Michael Gerrard and Eric Goode have been chosen as the 2014 SoFo Goes Silver honorees for their efforts and commitment to conserving and protecting our planet,” SoFo’s executive director Frank Quevedo said this week. “Their work is relative to the mission of the South Fork Natural History Museum and we are proud to honor them as we celebrate 25 years as a nature education organization.” Boasting three chairpersons -- environmentalist Susan Rockefeller, “Paddle Diva” Gina Bradley and artist April Gornik -- SoFo Goes Silver will begin outdoors, giving attendees the chance to marvel at the museum’s lush natural surroundings. Open bars and light bites will be offered, as will a silent auction. Adam Alpert’s 4AM DJs will pack the dance floor with one of their top DJ’s inside the party tent. The event will be held from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. For tickets call SoFo at 631-537-9735. The Independent is the lead media sponsor of SoFo Goes Silver.

ONE TO MAKE YOU LAUGH . . . ONE TO MAKE YOU THINK
I wrote this column a few years ago. I’m repeating it because it’s summer. I haven’t had a vacation and it doesn’t look like I’m getting one. So I’m taking this week off from thinking about Obama, de Blasio, Hillary, the Middle East, immigration, etc. etc. Getting mail on the internet is like opening oysters. You have to open a helluva lot to get a single pearl. A good friend of mine sent me an email that made me smile. I have reprinted it below. I hope it makes you chuckle, too. Some of the artists from the 1960s are re-releasing their hits with slight changes as they, and their audiences, grow older. Herman’s Hermits — “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Walker.” The Bee Gees — “How Can You Mend a Broken Hip?”
The Temptations — “Papa’s Got a Kidney Stone.” Ringo Starr — “I Get By With a Little Help from Depends.” Mar vin Gaye — “I Heard It Through the Grape Nuts.” Procol Harem — “A Whiter Shade of Hair.” Johnny Nash — “I Can’t See Clearly Now.” Leo Sayer — “You Make Me Feel Like Napping.” Paul Simon — “Fifty Ways To Lose Your Liver.” Roberta Flack — “The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face.” The Commodores — “Once, Twice, Three Times to the Bathroom.” The Rolling Stones — “You Can’t Always Pee When You Want.” Bobby Darin — “Splish, Splash, I Was Havin’ a Hot Flash.” Then a co-worker sent me an

email of some great thoughts by George Carlin. Carlin was brilliant and thoughtful and slightly nuts. When (if) I grow up, I want to learn to write and think like he did. Now here’s a wonderful message from the late George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways, narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less. We buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We h a v e m u l t i p l i e d o u r possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life, not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things. We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. Remember: Spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember: Say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember: Give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent. Remember to say “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all, mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment, for some day that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. The number of breaths we take does not measure life, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Trucks And Drunks And Land, Oh, My! By Kitty Merrill
residential lots in Springs were rare. Rare, too, were citizen complaints about raucous drunks on Indian Wells Beach . . . until a few years ago. The website guestofaguest featured Indian Wells as the place to party and throngs of out-oftowners hauling cases of beer began to invade the former family beach. Earlier this year, Councilwoman Sylvia Overby proposed an alcohol ban at Indian Wells and adjacent
Atlantic Avenue Beaches. Seen as overkill by some, particularly the town trustees, the proposal was scaled back to include just Indian Wells. The latest iteration, if adopted, bans alcohol on Indian Wells Beach for 1000 feet in either direction from the road end. The prohibition would take place during the hours lifeguards are on duty just on weekends and holidays.

Planning to attend tomorrow night’s East Hampton Town Board meeting? Better bring one of those special donuts to sit on and lots of endurance. With a plethora of public hearings scheduled, it’s going to be a marathon. Hearings related to land acquisition and protection, and a historic designation will be held, as will feedback opportunities for two more controversial initiatives – the proposed alcohol ban and restrictions related to commercial vehicles on residential land. Although Springs has historically been home to working men, and their unsightly equipment, in recent years a segment of the community complained about residential lots hosted big rigs that turn private lots into illegal commercial properties. While it is already illegal for certain commercial enterprises to operate from residential lots, town officials have been stymied in the effort to enforce applicable zoning codes. Instead, they have devised a definition of “light truck” geared toward offering enforcement officials an additional tool. And by light truck, they do mean light. A commercially-registered pickup truck would be allowed, but not if it’s been modified. Higher bed sides to accommodate loads? Not allowed if the sides are higher than the cab. Truck cap? Same deal. You can keep your racks, though. And you can have two commercially-registered pickups on your property. Pickups and other commercial vehicles must weigh no more than 12,000 pounds and the rear bed or platform must be no wider or higher than the truck’s cab. If the proposal is adopted, box trucks and dump trucks would be verboten on residential property, and no commercial machinery or heavy equipment may be parked overnight. The law applies to truck trailers as well. They have to be single axle, open, and no more than 18 feet in length. The ubiquitous small covered trailers many carpenters use to store tools and transport them to job sites would be prohibited. Board watcher David Buda has taken it upon himself, for the last several years, to surveil and document code violations in Springs. He’s emailed photos of large trucks parked at residential lots on a daily basis for the last few weeks. Prior to his appearance on the town board scene during the last administration, complaints about the types of trucks parked on

He Eats What He Creates
Independent/ Harvey Langberg
By Rick Murphy
Harley Langberg, an artist, works in the produce field. “Art is a longtime passion, as is food. It was a natural progression,” he said. He was talking about his art – which is 100 percent edible. His works don’t make it to the gallery
or museum walls. He eats what he created. It’s not a chore. He uses organic, natural foods. “I promote healthy living,” he pointed out, noting his ingredients are typically fruit and vegetables, often of the exotic variety – yucca or dragon fruit for example.

Langberg’s art is far more than a novelty: his rendition of Bansky’s Flower Garden is nuanced with shading and depth thanks to a little help from an eggplant. His Picasso – well, it looks like a Picasso – is a Cubist face of mango, nectarine, peppers, scallions, eggplant, turnip and gum. Waste is always a potential problem. “Usually I eat what I make but sometimes I have to toss it.” Towards that end “I’m looking into ways to preserve it.” Langberg, 26, splits his time b e t w e e n N e w Yo r k C i t y a n d Bridgehampton, and he’s beginning to get noticed. “People say, ‘Wow, how did he do this?’ and it makes
me push myself.” Faces were the most difficult to make, but the artist now has 50 under his belt. The Abraham Lincoln is comprised entirely of an Oreo cookie. He’s currently working on a Nicki Minaj — his medium is cotton candy. An owl is shaved almonds on yucca; the American Gothic is Swiss cheese, kiwi, eggplant, and icing. His weirdest ingredient yet? Nutella. “I look at every day life. I look at everything and I ask myself Can I make this into art?’” Langberg can be reached on Instagram: harl4000 or those interested can follow him on Twitter.

STOP Day Set For Sag Dr. R. Nichols Hazelwood, Environmental Affairs Project Manager for IT Corporation, said, “Dilution is not the solution to the pollution.” The California based corporation is a full line hazardous waste management company, responsible for designing and operating treatment facilities, disposal sites, and analytical laboratories. According to officials at Suffolk County Stormwater Management Program, several different kinds of hazardous materials are common threads found within local groundwater. Some of the pollutants that end up in local groundwater can be reduced by properly disposing of hazardous household wastes. On Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM, town residents will have an opportunity to bring anything from automotive fluids and pool chemicals to batteries and bathroom cleaners for proper and safe disposal. In an effort to reduce hazardous materials contaminating local waters, Southampton Town will offer the collection day for H o u s e h o l d H a z a r d o u s Wa s t e disposal at the Sag Harbor transfer station on the Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike. Part of the Stop Throwing Out Pollutants (STOP) Program, there will be two more collection days in August at the transfer stations located in Hampton Bays (Jackson Avenue) and North Sea (Majors Path). HHW refers to any commonly found household items with the potential to ignite, cause a violent chemical reaction, be a dangerous corrosive, or be harmful to human health, according to citizenscampaign.org. The most common examples of HHW i n c l u d e med ic in es, m e rcu r y, wood preservatives, household
cleaners, motor oil, paint thinners, antifreeze, and pesticides. The average person accumulates six pounds of HHW per year, and every year over 100,000 tons of HHW is disposed of improperly in New York alone. On Long Island, the chemicals found in improperly disposed HHW end up in groundwater, the Long Island Sound, Peconic Estuary, or South Shore Estuary Reserve. All Long Island towns host resident STOP days, with some towns having permanent dropoff points for residents to bring products, while other towns designate days throughout the year to dispose of HHW. Disposal at other times is regulated by state and federal environmental law and is strictly prohibited. Southampton’s HHW disposal is exclusively offered to town residents, with the program partially financed with a grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. No commercial waste will be accepted. A list of acceptable materials for disposal can be found on the town’s website. Visit www. southamptontownny.gov. For more information on the STOP program, call the town recycling office at 631-283-5210. C

Soldier Ride On Saturday Soldier Ride The Hamptons rolls into town on Saturday, bringing out hundreds of participants to pedal or walk to raise money for wounded warriors. Held in honor of local hero Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter, a 30-mile ride starts in Amagansett at Ocean View Farm on Montauk Highway, and includes alternate 5K walks in Sag Harbor and Amagansett. Opening ceremonies will be held at the farm at 8:30 AM in Amagansett and at Marine Park in Sag Harbor. The ride and walks start at 9 AM. A tribute to LCpl Jordan Haerter in Sag Harbor will take place at 10:30 AM at Marine Park in Sag Harbor. There’s a “Lap Of Heroes” on Main
Street Sag Harbor that never fails to bring the community out to honor those who’ve sacrificed in service of the country. The ride resumes over the Lance Cpl Jordan Haerter Veterans Memorial Bridge and returns to Ocean View Farm. A family picnic will be held at Ocean View to cap off the day. To register to ride or walk, visit soldierride.org/thehamptons. This year a film documenting the courageous efforts of Wounded Warriors and the founders of Soldier Ride debuts on Friday night in Amagansett Square. In conjunction with the 10th anniversary of Wounded Warrior
Project, Matt Hindra and Nick Kraus have teamed up to premiere “Welcome To Soldier Ride” in the Square directly across the street from The Stephen Talkhouse, where the program was founded in 2004. What began as a far-fetched fundraising effort by a solo cyclist for a few wounded soldiers turned into the cycling trip of a lifetime by three men. The film chronicles cyclist Chris Carney joining forces with newly-wounded veteran soldiers, Heath Calhoun and Ryan Kelly, to surmount the unimaginable challenge of cycling 8000 miles across the United States and back again in just under four months.

Forrest Gump” effect, these three young men’s extraordinary crosscontinental voyage inadvertently gathered so much public attention and support, it ultimately launched the Soldier Ride program and boosted visibility for Wounded Warrior Project, today’s largest nonprofit organization for veterans. Said WWP’s Chief Program Officer Jeremy Chwat, “It was really our first exposure to how deeply the American public wanted to be involved [in helping wounded soldiers].” With minimal resources - and only three legs between them – Chris, Heath and Ryan embark on a journey of physical, mental, and emotional fortitude and camaraderie. Heath and Ryan are no strangers to such adversity, each recovering from their near-death traumas in Iraq less than two years prior. “When you get injured, you take some side roads, Soldier Ride gets you back onto the main road of life,” explains WWP’s Deputy Director, Al Giordano. Shot mostly using a hand-held camera along the road, “Welcome to Soldier Ride” draws the viewer into the personal expedition of the soldiers, accompanied by intimate interviews describing their experiences at war and the complex road to recovery. The film’s mission is to elicit continued support for wounded warriors while honoring their sacrifices and to encourage and inspire the newly-wounded to never give up. A decade since its inception, Soldier Ride now serves wounded veterans all across the United States and in England, Germany, France and Israel. It is a unique four-day cycling opportunity for wounded soldiers to use cycling and the bonds of service to overcome physical, mental, or emotional wounds. Wounded Warrior Project’s pledge is to foster the most successful, welladjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history. “ Welcome to Soldier Ride” premiers Friday at 8 PM in Amagansett Square.

Fireworks by Grucci have been amazing spectators in Three Mile Harbor for 34 years since 1980. Not long ago Tony Duke passed away, and this year’s show is dedicated to its founder. With George Plimpton, he hosted the brilliant spectacle as part of an annual Bastille Day celebration, and as a fundraiser for what was then Boys Harbor camp for underprivileged children. The midsummer show over Three Mile Harbor became part of his legacy, with the tradition kept alive by the Clamshell Foundation. Make a tax-deductible contribution to keep the event, now known as The Great Bonac Fireworks Show, going. Visit the Clamshell Foundation website to find out how. Pyrotechnics light up the harbor this Saturday night at 9:20. Rain date Sunday. Maidstone Beach, Sammy’s Beach, Gann Road in Springs and beaches off Hands Creek and Springy Banks Roads are great viewing locations, as are any of the number of restaurants found on Three Mile Harbor.
Tomosynthesis right here at Southampton Hospital
A groundbreaking study proves Tomosynthesis (3D imaging) coupled with digital mammography increases cancer detection rates. It actually provides greater accuracy in pinpointing size, shape and location of abnormalities, and with Tomosynthesis there’s a greater likelihood of identifying additional tumors. This technology is available at The Ellen Hermanson Breast Center thanks to the generosity of The Ellen Hermanson Foundation. Get state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment. Call 631-726-8285 to schedule your mammogram.

Inmates Lend A Hand Volunteer inmates from the Suffolk County Corrections Department are donating their time, expertise and labor to improve the building and grounds of the Kent Animal Shelter. “Our facility is old and outdated, and we desperately need a new facility. In the meantime, these Suffolk County Corrections Department program volunteers along with our own volunteers are improving the building and grounds so we can keep doing what we do every day until we can build the new facility,” said Pamela Green, Executive Director of Kent Animal Shelter. “I learned of this program from Sergeant Campo, a great animal lover, who offered to plan and bring to fruition many projects that would have not otherwise been possible. These guys are a godsend.” Sergeant Jeff Campo and Phil Cantora of the Suffolk County Corrections Department have supervised and lead inmates on shelter renovation work including tree removal, fencing, roof repair and cleaning, painting and staining, and more. Kent Animal Shelter is a 501(C)3 not-for-profit organization that was established in 1968 as a no-kill haven for abandoned, neglected or abused animals.

Frank Quevedo Welcome to Indy’s VIP: Ver y Interesting Person, a new feature focused on some of the East End’s most intriguing residents. Are you one? Know one? Email kmerrill@indyeastend.com with your suggestions. By Kitty Merrill
Growing up in Yonkers, Frank Quevedo didn’t have a lot of opportunities to interact with a natural environment. His father took him on occasional fishing trips on the Long Island Sound, but it wasn’t until he was a teenager with a boat of his own that his passion for all things marine ignited. A resident for the region for close to 20 years, Quevedo came out to the East End to study marine biology at LIU Southampton, “and I haven’t left since,” he said on a recent sunny morning in Bridgehampton. “I spent a lot of time on the water as a teenager,” Quevedo recalled.
Like many boaters and those with a passion for the sea, “It was always on my mind.” His senior year at LIU, Quevedo worked as an intern for the Suffolk County Marine Environment Learning Center in Southold, an arm of Cornell Cooperative Extension. His focus was aquaculture and upon graduation, Quevedo landed a job with the East Hampton Town Aquaculture program as a bay management specialist working to supply area bottomlands with clams, oysters, and scallops. In 2011, Jim Ash, beloved executive director of the South Fork Natural History Museum, retired and his position became available. “I was very fortunate to be accepted here,” Quevedo said. The position “opened up a whole new world to me,” he enthused. Where he was focused on shellfish restoration as a bay management specialist, his new career expanded

his view to the boundless aspects of the entire natural environment. “Here I’m teaching and learning.” Handling administrative duties indoors was an initial adjustment after years of fieldwork. But at SoFo, nobody stays inside for long. Everyone on staff has a niche, Quevedo explained. Nature educators are specialists in every stripe of the natural environment. “Ever yone here has a science background – plants, animals,
woodlands, marine, everything earth-related.” Everyone on staff is challenged with creating programs for visitors to SoFo, and Quevedo is no exception. “I want to be out there educating people,” he said. Quevedo leads walks every week, sometimes focused on the marine environment and sometimes looking to the skies in his “Birding for Beginners” program. An expert birder, Ash took Continued On Page 31.

Happens On Land, Ends Up In Our Water By Kevin McDonald
Long Island’s Last Stand is an action plan led by The Nature C o n s e r v a n c y w i t h 10 0 o t h e r organizations, businesses, individuals and government officials, to protect 25,000 acres of open space and natural areas, preserve 10,000 acres of farmland and restore thousands of acres of lands and waters – including our drinking water. In the seven years since the creation of Long Island’s Last Stand (January, 2006), over 11,400 acres have been protected and efforts are already underway to ensure the quality of our waters. The 2013 Long Island’s Last Stand update, which was released this week, states that while funding to acquire land remains a high priority for Long Island conservation, the need to protect and restore our water quality – and specifically to abate nitrogen pollution from sewage – has risen to the top over the last years. Land protection is still a key strategy to prevent future degradation of our ground and surface water, however buying undeveloped lands cannot reverse
damage caused by past patterns of development. Land protection alone cannot mitigate the damage already done to Long Island’s waters. Going forward, New York State, Suffolk and Nassau Counties and the 13 towns of Long Island will need to take actions that truly reverse the nitrogen pollution in our water. Coupled with increased funding for land protection at the state, county, and town levels, new funds to protect and restore water quality must be programmed, guided by a new action plan for clean water.
About 70 percent of Suffolk County and 30 percent of Nassau County remain unsewered, which points to the degree of difficulty Long Island faces as steps are taken to reverse water pollution. Efforts to expand and improve sewer districts and sewage treatment plants figure prominently in proposals promoted by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone and Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano – but sewering new areas will not be enough. New on-site residential wastewater treatment technologies must be part of the
July 16, 2014
solution to our water quality issues. “Nitrogen pollution can be reversed. Scientists and engineers have identified the causes of this pollution and have developed proven solutions. Stronger water quality standards that protect both human and environmental health will help make a difference. And, we need a clean water action plan, created and implemented by a government entity, to better protect the Long Island way of life for our children and grandchildren,” said Nancy Kelley, executive director of The Nature Conservancy on Long Island. Kevin McDonald is Conservation Project Director for The Nature Conservancy on Long Island.

By Frank Quevedo
SoFo
SoFo Goes Silver
Twenty five years ago, a small group of South Fork naturalists, concerned about the future of Eastern Long Island’s fragile ecosystem, formed the non-profit organization, the South Fork Natural History Society, familiarly known as SoFo. Their objective was two-fold: to increase public awareness about the past, present and future of eastern Long Island’s natural history and to share
with others the joy they found when they went out “in the field,” exploring and learning. During these initial years the organization operated out of a small building in Amagansett called the Nature Clubhouse. This small teaching space was supplemented by two freshwater ponds, which served as living laboratories for the study of native plants and animals.
The Nature Clubhouse was a draw for children and adults who made repeated visits to study the amphibians and reptiles housed there. This was a fun place to visit, hang out, do research for school reports or just mull over the bones, feathers, land insects and

wildflowers found throughout the clubhouse. Many of the children who visited the clubhouse in the early years of SoFo became active participants years later in the yet to be realized South Fork Natural History Museum. Throughout the 1990’s SoFo had a full schedule of weekend nature walks and programs. Many were led by SoFo board members and local naturalists. Among its array of programs, SoFo sponsored an important conference on the future of the endangered Eastern Tiger Salamander. The conference brought together experts on amphibians and provided information about the environmental pressures on the lives of our local animals. The organization was also producing a series of seasonally-relevant nature news spots that were broadcast on local radio, a variety of nature publications including checklists about wildlife on the South Fork, and a website designed to give the public access to the organization. In 1999, eleven years after its founding and after an exhaustive search for an appropriate site, the society’s dream of establishing the South Fork Natural History Museum and Nature Center was realized. In that same year the society purchased three acres and two buildings in Bridgehampton, New York, at 377 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike, on which to build the first and only Natural History Museum and Nature Center on the South Fork. The site was chosen because of its important natural location Continued On Page 48.

Terrorist Threats East Hampton Village Police picked up two people Thursday who they said had been making threats against the Jewish Center Of The Hamptons. Asli Dincer, 44, and her ex-husband Melih Dincer, 31, had allegedly been writing threatening letters for several months. The pair were charged with Making A Terrorist Threat, a Class D Felony, and Falsely Reporting An Incident First Degree, another D felony, as well as several misdemeanors. An Impaired Lichtenstein Southampton Town Police said they spotted a vehicle changing lanes unsafely in Flanders shortly after 2 AM Sunday. After pulling the vehicle over they said the driver, Danielle Lichtenstein of Wheatly Hills, 29, was “impaired by drugs.” They also found a small quantity of the evil weed, and that was enough for an overnight lockup, held for morning arraignment. Amidst The Graves A call to Riverhead Police at about 6 PM that a 15-year–old boy was missing in Wading River on July 9 launched a comprehensive search involving town, park, county, and state police. An hour later the boy was seen wandering Calverton National Cemetery. He was reunited with his mother a short time later. Bicyclist Hit At 4 AM East Hampton Town Police said a bicyclist was struck and seriously injured in Montauk at about 4 AM Friday. Raymond Eng of Briarwood, 80, was heading north on Flamingo Avenue when his vehicle struck Raymond Bimson, 32, of Montauk. Bimson was airlifted to Stony Brook Hospital where he was listed in serious, but stable condition. No charges were filed against Eng. Riverhead Burglary Police said an unknown male wearing a mask, gloves, and dark clothing forced his way into an apartment on Roanoke Avenue last Wednesday night. He was armed with a knife, took a cell phone from a terrified resident who was using it to call police, and fled on foot. Police are looking for other witnesses.

RICK’S SPACE Put To The Test I was a brown-noser in school, I admit it. I got very good grades. This was true for a lot of kids who went to Catholic school. Our parents had to pay tuition, so if they were going to work two jobs to get us into a private school, we had better deliver. Back in those days there were no learning-disabled kids with attention deficit disorder. Learning was a very simple matter: you would learn the lesson or the nuns would beat the crap out of you until you did. To get into the tuition-free Diocesan High School we had to finish in the top one percentile of the Cooperative Admissions Examination. The proctors were Jesuit Brothers who wore hoods that hid their faces and robes down to the floor. Instead of belts they tied rosaries around their waists. Legend had it their faces were scarred by acid because they got caught cheating on the Co-ops when they
were in the eighth grade. It was a real challenge to devise an intricate cheating methodology that could withstand the scrutiny of the scar-faced bros. We did this with a staccato series of coughs and gestures. Only the cool kids were allowed to participate; legend had it back in 1958 Billy O’Connor got caught by one of the brothers, taken into the main office, and tortured until he gave up all the cheating secrets. It was akin to a war prisoner telling the Nazis where the Allied troops were stationed and we couldn’t risk a similar incident. I knew most of the answers so the tough kids really liked me. By giving them answers I became a de facto tough kid - It’s amazing how many boys you can call a sissy even if you are secretly one yourself when you’re hanging with the tuffies.

League School. The way it worked was I would spend 75 hours taking the course, pass its test, and then pass the New York State test and get my real estate salesman license. I would do this by cheating my way through the entire thing. I neglected to realize a lot has changed since the Jesuits ran things. I signed on to Chapter One, which I was to spend 90 minutes on. I then opened another browser window and played with my Fantasy Football team; after 90 minutes I went back to REE to move to Chapter Two. Wrong: I needed to pass a test first. Crap. I still wasn’t overly concerned. Back in the day the RE salesperson’s test consisted of questions like “If you have a 100 foot by 150 foot lot what is the total area?� Things have changed, though. Nowadays there are entire chapters on gases and cesspool grading and ethics and effluents (“Those less fortunate than ourselves,� I answered.). There were a lot of questions about commissions: “If the listing agent gets 25 percent and the broker gets 25 percent and you sell the property how much of the commission will you get?� I’m like, “Duh! All of it!� I learned the hard way: I’m going to have to actually study. What’s worse, if I failed the REE exam I had to take the course over. I drove up to Wading River a couple months later. I took the test myself — no one to cough with or anything. I kind of missed those surly Jesuits. Fortunately, my knowledge of math and the
IN THE NEWS
fact that I covered planning and zoning for the newspaper came in handy. This despite the fact there were about 10 questions about construction and as fellow Catholic school graduates know, we were never taught anything the least bit useful so we know nothing about anything that involves actual manual labor. One question was (and I’m not making this up) “What is a Butt Joint?� I won’t repeat my answer here because it would doom me to an eternity in hell but it had nothing to do with wood or molding. There was one hurdle left: the New York State exam. Months passed before I found the time to drive up to Hauppauge. By then I had forgotten a lot. There were 50 people in the testing room, and three proctors. “If I see you looking at your neighbor’s paper you will be removed from the room,� one warned me. “Lady,� I replied honestly. “I can’t even see my neighbor let alone her test paper!� The test was hard. People were moaning and groaning. I was the first one finished -- I was told long ago your first instinct is usually the correct one. (Unfortunately a really dumb guy told me that.) The truth was my Butt Joint was killing me. Epilogue: I passed. They don’t tell you what your grade was. I bet 60 percent or more of the people in there flunked. Next year I’m going to get my Law degree online. I’m quite sure that will be much easier.

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman
The Big Box Conundrum There are those purists who would keep big box chain stores out of our communities for any number of reasons. Aesthetically, they hardly fit the mold of the quaint, country charm prevalent on the East End. In East Hampton, for example, a square-foot limit on the gross floor area of supermarkets and retail stores insures conformity. Some residents quibble with the mindset that smaller is better: shoppers head west to avail themselves of the selection and bargains offered at the bigger stores and take their money with them, depriving the town of needed revenue. The chain stores may not contribute to the fabric of the local society, but they do hire locally, and those jobs come in pretty handy during the long winters when so few other retailers are hiring. Certainly the other four East End towns shouldn’t delude themselves: caravans of shoppers head to Riverhead every day and spend a significant portion of their disposable incomes there, not in their hometowns. The outcry over a proposed CVS in Bridgehampton, though, has nothing at all to do with aesthetics, or whether or not chain stores are a good thing for the local economy. The simple fact is the siting – on the corner of Montauk Highway and the Bridgehampton Sag Harbor Turnpike -- is just about the worst place imaginable to plop a big store down. Philosophically we are on board that it is a commercial piece of property, and that the owner has a right to develop it. But in this case the impact on the surrounding community is so resoundingly negative that it outweighs any of the pros having a CVS would bring. Specifically, the corner is a traffic nightmare now and has been for quite some time. Bottlenecks are frequent: Lumber Lane merges into the Turnpike just north of the site, the busy Starbucks empties out in two directions, and there is an inn across the Turnpike and a restaurant across Montauk Highway. Ocean Road empties into the intersection from the south. There has been a fatality at the site and too many accidents to count. Worse, the parking area available for the CVS is woefully inadequate. There are also CVS stores in East Hampton and Southampton and a Rite Aid just down the road from this site. We can set the argument about the value of the big box chain stores in our community aside on this one; we can also empathize with the owner who understandably wants to get a return from the investment. Not this way, though. The application should be withdrawn. CVS, if it wishes, can look elsewhere for a Bridgehampton site and hopefully the owner of this particular parcel will find a buyer that has more sensible plans, something that neighbors will welcome. Opponents of the CVS, so resolute in their determination to stop it, should be applauded but also forewarned: that doesn’t mean every proposal for the property warrants a concerted effort to stop it.

Historic Homes
Dear Rick, Emily Toy’s article last week (The Lay of the Land) is greatly appreciated for highlighting Southampton Town’s new façade easement program, one of a number of new tools that we’ve created in order to help save our dwindling inventory of precious historic buildings, resources that contribute so much to our community character and embody our town’s rich history. To clarify, the program is not used to purchase historic homes. Rather, a willing homeowner may be eligible to sell an easement on the home to the town. The easement allows the town to review and approve physical changes to the exterior of the property to ensure that they are compatible with, and sensitive to the historic resource. In exchange,
25
the homeowner receives financial compensation, which can be used as the homeowner wishes. Easement values are determined by the level of restrictions described in the easement and normally don’t exceed about 15 percent of the property value. Funding for the program comes from the Community Preservation Fund, the two percent transfer tax on real estate transactions over $250,000. I’m proud to report that the town board recently authorized the purchase of a façade easement on an 1857 late Greek Revival home on Montauk Avenue in East Quogue and that the board will consider another purchase at our next meeting, mentioned in Ms. Toy’s article, a farmhouse, also from 1857, in Hampton Bays. Anyone interested in considering landmark designation and/or selling a façade easement can contact the Town at 631-287-5745. BRIDGET FLEMING SOUTHAMPTON TOWN COUNCILWOMAN Continued on Page 26.

A Cheap Shot Dear Sir, I write as an admirer of Jerry Della Femina’s exquisite sense of humor and his admirable skill with the written word. I’m also an admirer of the late, great American contralto, Kate Smith (1907-1986), whose moving rendition of Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America” stirs love for this great country and is America’s second national anthem. Jerry’s 4th of July column, especially his list of patriotic songs was superb, but I’m offended by his description of Kate Smith as that “fat, old, anti-Semitic, fascist” who “was a pig.” I’ll give him his comments on her alleged political leanings (although I doubt they are true). But to dismiss an American icon who was the best female songstress of the WWII era as “fat” and a “pig” is a cheap shot that’s unworthy of the Indy’s best columnist. For starters, Jerry should take a good look in the mirror before he next criticizes another accomplished human being as “fat.” I’ve never seen him with his clothes off, but unless his wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, has secretly stuffed a super sized pillow under his shirt next to his tummy, and a smaller one next to his rear end, or if by some miracle he’s six months pregnant, Jerry is carrying an extra 50 to 60 pounds. But being overweight doesn’t take away from his accomplishment as a brilliant satirist, a 21st century Jonathan Swift, any more than excess weight diminishes the musical accomplishment of Kate Smith, or a great male singer like Luciano Pavorotti, or a great African American entrepreneur like Oprah Winfrey. I look forward to a retraction. JOHN HAYDEN
Owed A Favor Dear Mr. Murphy, To understand the outsized influence of the Independence Party, it might pay to examine what the New York Post refers to as a “pork feast.” In Southampton, the feast began with the construction of a useless recharge basin in East Quogue. Having met with no opposition in that hamlet, the Independence/Democratic Party apparently believed it could continue feasting in Noyac and Sagaonack where much to the chagrin of elected officials, those two communities halted the feast by correctly identifying it as overkill. Ironically neither Linda Kabot, who ran for supervisor in the last election, nor

Will the LIRR go on strike? Rhona Klein I think it might happen and everyone should be prepared for it. I think everyone is going to dig their heels in and no one going to want to give in or compromise. I think it’s going to cause a lot of chaos both for the weekenders and the commuters, too. Ed McDonald I work here at the beach and the captain of my lifeguard is upstate. He needs to travel back this weekend on the LIRR. And I do want him here. Otherwise, whether the railroad runs or not makes no difference to me. When it comes on the news I switch to a Sports Channel. Lauren Zaino So many people need the train to get out here for the weekend. If the LIRR goes on strike that is going to make for big crowds on the Jitney and huge amounts of traffic on the roads. And the roads are crowded enough on the summer weekends. Francis Mott I’m hoping the strike doesn’t happen. I’ve relied on the LIRR myself when I traveled into New York City and I really feel for everyone who will be so inconvenienced. And it’s the middle of summer when use out on the East End is at its peak.

her supporter, former Southampton Town Councilwoman Nancy Graboski, questioned the East Quogue project or the manner in which the pork feast was foisted upon homeowners and business owners, thereby missing an opportunity to “mine” what should have been “political gold.” For the record, I’m not the homeowner who, as I write, wheels a baby carriage through several inches of mud in her driveway. I’m the homeowner whose tax dollars were spent to prevent that from happening. Yet The Southampton Press doesn’t seem to care that the East Quogue project is flawed or that property was damaged. Rather The Press argued in a subsequent editorial that Congressman Timothy Bishop and Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor were to be commended for securing federal tax dollars for unwanted roadwork in Sagaponack. Even though The Press was forced to admit the Sagaponack project was undesirable, The Press still referred to that
pork feast as a feather in Alex Gregor’s cap. Sadly, I believe both Kabot and Graboski didn’t question the East Quogue project because, to put it crudely, they owed a favor to Independence/Democratic Party members, such as Steve Kenny and Alex Gregor, who supported them when they ran against the “Republican establishment.” Based on the above, it’s safe to conclude that the Independence Party does more than just influence voting patterns. The Party gives the appearance of expecting post-election favors in return for support. Unfortunately, this type of manipulation can occur when the local newspaper, in this case, The Southampton Press, doesn’t report the truth about a project that was little more than pork. In fact in a letter to the editor of The Press, Mr. Gregor bragged that if the East Quogue project “wasn’t good for taxpayers, he’d eat his hat.” So, to be perfectly accurate, Mr. Gregor really didn’t have a hat in which to Continued on Page 27.

Sensible Regulations Dear Rick, Thank you for your in depth interviews with the Republican candidates, but I have a question I’d like you to ask NY State Senator Zeldin (who you endorsed). Please ask him why he voted against the “light pollution” bill just passed in the Senate, sponsored by Senator Carl Marcellino (R) and in the Assembly, sponsored by Assembly member Linda Rosenthal (D). This bill awaits the Governor’s signature and it directs state agencies to follow simple and sensible regulations for outdoor lighting to use shielded light fixtures, similar to what we now require in East Hampton and Southampton. NY State owned facilities are not required to conform to local zoning codes. This law would also apply to public utilities like PSE&G. Thank you, and please let me know what he says. SUSAN HARDER DARK SKY SOCIETY Editor’s Note: Rick’s not dating Lee anymore. He’s with Hillary now.
Is There A Problem? Dear Editor, Margaret Fogel seems to be appalled that my commentary directed at “progressive” political thinking is “baseless and argumentative.” Further, it seems to her that my rhetorical goal is “incomprehension.” Hey, I am not perfect, so here is my attempt to be more clear: First, Ms. Fogel very erroneously submits that the election of John F. Kennedy, in 1960 (!), represented a progressive political victory. JFK’s politics were not “progressive,” even in the context of this country’s political climate over 50 years ago. If anything, his politics were middle-of-the-road, slanting towards conservative. Let’s look at the word itself. To make “progress” is to state that a worthwhile goal of some sort is on its way to being achieved. There was literally NOTHING about JFK’s presidency -- that’s NOTHING -- which made this country better because he was Catholic. There was nothing apparently Catholic about him which could have been said to have influenced his policies. He was JFK, for better or worse and that’s about it. Of course, Obama’s election was groundbreaking, but are we better off in this

country because he is at the helm? Does he have the political fluency of JFK, LBJ or Bill Clinton? No he doesn’t. Did he bring governing experience to his role as President? No. Is he somewhat arrogant and too cool for school? Yes indeed. The USA is NOT better off because he leads us. His being African American has nothing whatsoever to do with the criticism he fully deserves and therein lies the rub with the likes of Ms. Fogel because for her, electing a black man to office is an end in and of itself. I could give a rat’s rear whether Obama is black, JFK was Catholic and Hillary is a woman. I would venture to say that most people feel as I do. Progressives, however, see a “problem” (where one truly doesn’t exist) simply because we have yet to elect a woman as President. If Hillary gets the nomination and runs and loses - can you hear it now? - we will be inundated by the Left with charges of antiwoman bias blah blah blah. If she wins, she should be judged by her accomplishments, or lack thereof. If this country becomes better or worse as a result of a Hillary Clinton presidency, it will not be because she is a woman. Just because something happens which hasn’t happened before, it isn’t to be confused with the meaning of the word progress. The Left is besotted with identity politics - if only because they don’t then have to judge their candidate on his or her merits. NICK SARIDAKIS
Back Alive Dear Rick, The sheer dishonesty let alone outright absence of patriotism of even questioning the exchange of five un-charged Terrorists for one American soldier is disgusting and those shameless dissidents who are condemning President Obama for doing so should hang their heads . . . if they are not in fact devoid of shame. LEAVE NO SOLDIER BEHIND! That has certainly been the battle cry in wars as long as I can remember. It certainly was during WWII as well as my following personal Korean “Conflict” (Gentrification of, “War”?). The thought otherwise was inconceivable. We judge the behavior of our service personnel here at home and not in the news media or political opportunism. That we even consider not trading these four “Evil Geniuses” back to their tribes who have already replaced them with like, since they’re all alike, and that it would therefore impact either their or our resolve and would compromise our efforts is ludicrous. What is clear is that if President Obama wants the trade, it is just downRIGHTWINGWRONG”. (Mr. Saridakis please
www.indyeastend.com
feel free to correct my spelling). “NO” is the positive cry from the present negative contortion of the once, Grand Old Party. Personally, I think the old Frank Buck, “bring them back alive” mantra is a great pattern. If indeed they are now going to kill less of us in order to capture more of our soldiers alive for trade, bring them on. To return more of our fighting men and women back home while emptying out Cheney’s County Club and America’s black eye off-shore Temporary Torture Temple, Guantanamo, we not only kill two predatory birds with one stroke but replace them with the proud American Eagle. NICHOLAS ZIZELIS
Ethnic Loyalties Dear Editor, July 28, 2014 marks the 100-year anniversary of the official start of WWI. A local newspaper reader asked me to write about WWI and the impact on the Middle East. The problem in doing this is complying with the typical 200 word limit of many newspapers, but I decided to do it anyway since I owed it to my wife’s father, Alton Jones and her uncle William Howard Jones, both WWI Marines who fought in France and Belgium in Maj. Gen. Lejeune’s Second Marine Division. They fought in many WWI battles, including Belleau Wood, the Verdun operations, Aisne-Marne Offensive, MeuseArgonne Offensive, St. Mihiel Offensive and the Battle of Blanc Mont Ridge. William Howard received the French Croix de Guerre and the U.S. Silver Star for his service at Blanc Mont, France on October 3, 1918. The award stated “by lying down in middle of road using his automatic pistol so

effective that he staid the enemy - counter attack until remainder of group could get in line.” The Ottoman Turks, who were aligned with Germany and Austria during WWI, were defeated between 1915 and 1918 by the British and French and an Arab insurgency sparked by “Lawrence of Arabia.” In 1919 Britain and France carved up the former Ottoman Empire into various Middle East Arab countries based on geographic parameters and did not take into consideration religious, sectarian or ethnic preferences of the local populations. The countries included Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. Additionally, Great Britain enacted the Balfour Declaration which promised a homeland in the Middle East for Jewish people, which came to fruition with the formation of Israel in 1948. The current warfare and volatility in the Middle East reflects a history spanning almost 1500 years. The religious and sectarian conflicts have been going on in the Middle East since at least the seventh century when the Prophet Muhammad died in 632. Some Muslims chose a close friend of Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr, to become Caliph, the leader of Islam, and they were titled Sunnis. Other Muslims chose to follow Ali, Prophet Muhammad’s cousin and son-inlaw, and they were titled Shias, or Shiites. The borders established by Great Britain and France after WWI did not reflect the wishes of the Middle East inhabitants and only inflamed their deep rooted animosities based on religious/sectarian and ethnic loyalties. The current fighting in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and Israel are a partial consequence of decisions made by European powers after WWI. DONALD A. MOSKOWITZ

Continued from page 16. the new exec director under his wing. Learning about and observing birds “has become a passion for me,“ Quevedo informed. Throughout the conversation with Indy, Quevedo repeatedly spoke of how lucky he felt to have such a satisfying career. “I feel especially fortunate to be able to provide information to children. You can teach a child about biology, and just present the information, but give them an experience and they connect with nature . . . I don’t think people really get how important it is to understand that if nature doesn’t exist, we’re not going to exist.� SoFo is open seven days a week all year round. That affords members and visitors the chance to observe how the landscape, flora, and fauna change with seasons. Already packed with programs for kids and adults, SoFo will expand its reach even more, if Quevedo’s vision comes to fruition. He’d like to see a barn on SoFo’s Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike grounds renovated to provide more educational space for more programming. He’d also like to develop a research center at SoFo “and reach out to a whole new world.� The center would provide a platform

from which to connect with other institutions to gather information and “collaborate on a conscious level.� Turning from the future back to his teenage years putting around
the sound, Quevedo observed, “If you love the water, you pursue a career to be in that environment. I was able to follow that lead and end up here . . . And there’s no other place I’d want to be.�

Sunday at noon the East Hampton Fire Department held a traditional “Wetdown Ceremony” to officially bring into service its new pumper 9-1-4. Manufactured by Pierce, the truck was christened when East Hampton Village Mayor Paul Rickenbach broke a champagne bottle on its front bumper prior to it making a loop around the fire station and being soaked by hoses from three of its fellow EHFD companies.

Cashman At Fault For Yankees Troubles? We’ve reached the All-Star break in Major League Baseball, and it typically gives teams a chance to take a breather, reassess their season, and determine whether or not they are contenders or pretenders. The Yankees will start the second half Friday night against the Reds mired in mediocrity. They’re 47-47, and yes, only five games out of first place in the American League East. But, as they Yankees are potentially heading towards their second straight season of October-less baseball, when does General Manager Brian Cashman start taking some heat for the team’s underwhelming performance? For nearly his entire tenure as General Manager and Senior Vice President of the Yankees, Cashman has remained, for the most part, out of harm’s way. Like any general manager, he has taken his hits from the fan base for various moves (Carl Pavano, Kei Igawa, etc.), but his reputation has remained intact as the Yankees have continued to maintain a high level of success. But, let’s remember, Cashman took over as GM in 1998. The dynasty of the late 90’s / early 2000’s was a product put together, primarily by former GM Gene “Stick” Michael. It was during Michael’s tenure the Yankees drafted Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada and others. Meantime, from 1999 through 2013, the Yankees had the highest payroll in the sport (second to the Dodgers this season). Yet, for the past 13 seasons, it’s resulted in just one World Championship. The Yankees have made it clear their expectations have always been “Championship or Bust.” If that’s how we are going to evaluate Cashman, then he has been severely overrated as a general manager. Cashman has had the luxury of being able to spend more money (by a wide margin) than any team in the sport, yet has failed to accomplish his ultimate goal in 12 of the last 13 years. Of course, World Series Titles aren’t easy to achieve and should not be taken for granted. But the past couple of seasons have exposed
www.indyeastend.com
Cashman at his worst. Some may call it bad luck, others may say it’s a failed risk taken by the Yankee front office. But, with the recent loss of ace Masahiro Tanaka, the Yankees are now missing four-fifths of their Opening Day starting rotation to injury. There were health risks and durability concerns associated
with all four, and Cashman was not prepared. The minor league system is fairly depleted, and he has used replacements David Phelps, Chase Whitley, Shane Greene, and Brandon McCarthy -- not exactly intimidating. Outside of Tanaka pre-injury, the rest of the Yankee offseason moves remain suspect. Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran have underwhelmed; all while former Yankee Robinson Cano is in Seattle and has the Mariners tied for one of the two Wild Card spots in the American League. Since the AL East has been average this season, the Yankees are certainly capable of making a run. But, this season has displayed the warts
throughout the organization. The Yankees lack the prospects to make a major move at the deadline. Their “win-at-any-cost” mentality under Cashman is becoming less successful each offseason as many top players never reach free agency. Cashman has failed to build the organization top to bottom in recent years, and the issues are beginning to magnify. He deserves time to fix his mistakes, but he shouldn’t be given immunity by Yankee fans or the Steinbrenners. Pete is a lifelong Montauk resident and former sports talk host at 88.7FM WEER. He’s currently a Sports Anchor at WCBS 880 and WFAN radio in NYC. He can be reached via email at peterfmundo@gmail.com.

A draft I was in last Thursday night aptly demonstrates why these rules apply. I had the 10th pick. Normally six running backs, one or two wide receivers, and a QB (Peyton Manning) would be off the board by then. Sometimes a team will take Jimmy Graham (TE) midway through the first round. All these selections make sense. Thursday, however, the first nine players picked were all running backs! This happens from time to time. It’s called a “run.” You’ll see it in baseball drafts – seven rounds will go by without a single closer being selected, and then someone will take say, Craig Kimbrel. That starts a run – six teams will quickly choose a closer in the next round. Why? They are afraid all the good ones will be gone before they pick again. Though that strategy may occasionally make sense, it almost

always backfires. That’s because there are plenty of tight ends out there that are going to break out this season – tight ends that might not even get drafted. That’s just the way it is. Take the best available player. This is always the money play. Even if you don’t need a player at that particular position, you will as the season unwinds and injuries set it. If not, he provides a valuable trading chip. Let’s get back to Thursday’s draft. It’s my turn. Sure, it’s nice to have a running back in the first round. Do I want the 10th best? Dr. Roto addressed this exact scenario Friday on his Sirius show. “Do you want the 10th best BMW or the best Audi?” he asked. Did I want the 10th best Lexus or the best Mercedes? Skippy went for the Mercedes. I chose Calvin Johnson, the best Fantasy Football receiver in history. Guess what happened? Peyton went next at number 11. Le’Veon Bell, another RB, went 12 and the same team grabbed yet another running back, Giovani Bernard, with the next pick. Demaryius Thomas, primed for a monster season, went next -- I would have taken him -- but that left Graham, the best tight end in the history of Fantasy Football, for me. You are probably asking who my running backs are — I settled for Reggie Bush, Joique Bell, and Andre Ellington. You never know, but I think they will get the job done for me. I picked up Cordarrelle Patterson with my sixth pick, which brings us to another truism: Don’t be afraid to reach. Money players take chances, and with Norv Turner running the offense in Minnesota and Adrian Petterson running the ball, this kid is going to get his chances, and he is one of the fastest wideouts in the NFL. My quarterback? I had to settle for Tom Brady – woe is me if he plays like he did last year, but let’s not forget he held the record for most touchdown passes in a season until Manning broke it. Just to be safe though, I took another QB in Round 8 -- a fella named Tony Romo.

Contiguous with over 800 acres of preserved land owned by the Town of Southampton, Suffolk County, and the Nature Conservancy, the site is part of the Long Pond Greenbelt system. The Greenbelt is one of the unique natural treasures of New York State due to its rich biodiversity and its many species of rare and endangered animals and plants.

The society began the construction of the 6400 square foot Museum and Nature Center in April 2001. The building process included stripping the existing structure to its framing, enlarging the panoramic observation deck, and completely restructuring the building to accommodate the needs of the museum. On May 31, 2005, after 16 years of planning, the South Fork Natural History Museum & Nature Center opened its doors to the public. This Saturday, SoFo will be having its annual benefit “Sofo Goes Silver” celebrating 25 years as a

On The Water Porgies In The Peconics Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean Not much has changed in the reports for a few weeks now. The fluking remains best in Shinnecock Bay up in the flats with small baits, bucktails and or jigs tipped with the Gulp. A few decent fluke have been taken in the ocean but this bite continues to be off. Most fish are shorts along with plenty of skates. Not much in the way of bass from under the bunker pods, it seems the pods in close proximity to the inlet areas are loaded with blues. Some bass have been taken on trolled umbrella rigs in and around the inlet along with bluefish.
Peconics Porgies are the targeted species during the summer months and are in the usual spots including Rogers Rock and out near Jessups Neck.
Shorebound/Beaches/Canal A few decent size bass have fallen for the clam baits lately on the ocean sand beaches. Only makes sense since Hurricane Arthur deposited so many surf clams up on the beaches. Not much action on the tins or plugs. The Shinnecock Inlet has seen a fair amount of fluke, a few blues, bass and trigger fish. Over at the Shinnecock Canal the action has slowed with a few short fluke, Seabass and trigger fish at the south end and a few porgies at the north end. This will begin to change when the snapper mature a bit more. Loads of small snappers are all around in the bays, creeks and local marinas, prime size for fluke baits. Time to get the Sabiki rig out. The action at the Ponquogue Bridge has been fair as well with a decent amount of fluke in the area.
too. It’s no secret that boats headed to the Coimbra have gotten a tuna for the box and then set up for sharking and hung a shark too. Not a bad way to spend a day.
