THE MUSIC OF THE FOURTH OF JULY

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 alabster 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!

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 one of the three great presidents of my lifetime (Eisenhower and Reagan being the other two). I’m a renegade Republican who believes you cannot have too conservative a president, nor too liberal a Supreme Court.

This stance makes me no friends on either side of the political spectrum. Frankly, I don’t care.

I don’t trust anyone whose job depends on votes and can fold under fire from a lobbyist or a pressure group.

That means when it comes to my freedom I don’t trust any politician.

I rely on the nine members of the Supreme Court to guard my freedom and protect me from any weak, scheming president and any dumber-than-dirt Congress.

No one can come up with more conspiracy theories than I can. I’m a child of the ’60s waiting for the

first bad flashback they promised me, and all I’m getting are warm memories.

I’m a pessimist, a skeptic, a cynic.

This is a long way of telling you how much I’m affected by the Independence Day holiday and the words of the song printed above.

The music, the words and the sentiment never fail to bring me to tears. It started when I was almost too young to understand it. 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.

For many of the early years when I lived in East Hampton, I threw a party at my house for my friends on the Fourth of July so we could watch the gorgeous fireworks display from Main Beach. Every year I would play music that worked with the fireworks.

I would spend days working on my fireworks playlist.

Every year my music and the sparkling light show would sync perfectly and I would watch the faces of my friends looking up to the sky with the colors of fireworks reflected on their faces.

Every year I would see tears streaming down some of the faces.

The year after 9/11 there were more memories and more tears.

S a d l y, t h e E a s t H a m p t o n fireworks were stopped a few years ago and thousands of people are missing out on a patriotic rite that we need now more than ever.

This is my first year living on the beautiful Noyac Bay, in wonderful Sag Harbor, where the town fathers choose to celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks. I can’t wait.

IN THE NEWS

I’ve been working on my music for days.

If you buy the music on iTunes you, too, can make this year’s fireworks, in any town, a moving experience.

Here’s the playlist: “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin “Amazing Grace” by Tramaine Hawkins “God Bless America” by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir “America the Beautiful” by Charlie Rich “America the Beautiful” by Elvis Presley And finally, at the finale, when the sky is booming and the earth is trembling – with the sound at its loudest and the sky filled with stars – I will play: “God Bless America” by Kate Smith And finally: “America the Beautiful” by Ray Charles Just wait until you hear that fat, old, anti-Semitic, fascist Kate Smith singing “God Bless America.” She was a pig but could she sing.

She sang the words of this wonderful song with great verve and great feeling and you can celebrate that Kate Smith never got the ugly intolerant America she wanted.

And saving the best for last, listen as the great Ray Charles sends chills down your spine as you hear him singing the greatest version of “America the Beautiful” ever recorded.

Then do as I do and whisper to yourself, “America is the best place in the world. It will outlive any politician who doesn’t think so.”

Southampton Town Gives Veterans A Boost

By Emily Toy

“The idea that there are veterans amongst us who are not benefiting from the services they deserve and need simply because they are unable to navigate a complex and confusing system is unacceptable.”

So said Southampton Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst on Monday after announcing the town will host a Veterans Service Officer to facilitate access to counseling and assistance services for eligible veterans, their spouses, dependants and survivors.

“Just having one of their service

officers visit our local community centers routinely will allow those in our township who might not have the time or ability to travel that long of a distance (like to Riverhead or Hauppaugue) an opportunity to access those services,” said Martin Knab, Commander, Chelberg and Battle Post 388 in Sag Harbor.

The arrangement will be made through an inter-municipal agreement with Suffolk County, which will assign a Veterans Service Officer to a Southampton Town facility once a week from 10 AM to 4 PM. It will cost the town $8000 a year.

“I am very pleased that we will be able to provide this arrangement with the assistance of the county in order to ensure veterans and their families can conveniently access the services they have earned,” the supervisor added.

Assisting with determining qualifications for VA benefits, preparing and submitting applications for benefits, tracking applications on behalf of residents/ family members, and answering

questions related to VA issues are some of the duties the Veterans Service Officers will be responsible for.

“This will be a very helpful service appreciated by many veterans, and I thank the Town for its efforts,” said Rich Steiber, Commander, HandAldrich Post 924 in Hampton Bays.

Veteran services are likely to begin within the month. Initially, Throne-Holst introduced the resolution on the agreement last Thursday during the town board’s work session. Now it’s the Suffolk County Legislature’s turn to pass a similar resolution to get the ball rolling.

“I applaud the Supervisor and the Town Board for pursuing the benefit of having one of the County’s Veterans Service Officers assigned to visit our town facilities weekly to help our veteran communities many diverse needs,” said Knab. “I know that this will help the mission of many local VFWs and American Legion Post in assisting our fellow Veterans.”

Question Town Purchase Of Bridgehampton Parcel

By Rick Murphy

A plan to sell development rights to a parcel of land owned by an affiliate of the Peconic Land Trust to Southampton Town has drawn significant opposition.

The 14-acre parcel of active farmland on Highland Terrace in Bridgehampton is owned by the South Fork Land Foundation, which is closely aligned with the PLT – its boards have intermingled members over the years.

Paul Brennan, a Sagaponack resident and Bridgehampton native who has clashed with the PLT before, has spearheaded the opposition.

He has a powerful ally in Richard Amper, the Executive Director of the Long Island Pine Barrens.

He said using Community Preservation Funds for the purchase – which Southampton Town plans to do – would set a dangerous precedent. “Our position has less to do with the deal and more to do with the implications,” Amper said. The people voted for the CPF tax with the understanding it would be used to preserve land in addition to what is being preserved by organizations like the PLT and the Nature Conservancy. “The CPF supplements what they do,” Amper opined. “Ultimately the people will lose confidence.”

Assemblyman Fred Thiele, one of the original architects of the plan, pointed out legally the deal can be made legally. “There is no legal issue, but there may be a perception problem. It’s up to each town.” When the CPF was first enacted the PLT took an active role in administering the program in some of the towns, particularly East Hampton. Because of that “there is some confusion – people think CPF money goes to the Peconic Land Trust,” Thiele said.

As the years went by the towns began to manage their own CPF, and the PLT continued to acquire land as well. “Basically, they have the same goal,” Thiele said.

“Somehow John [v. H.] Halsey has concocted a story that farmers can no longer afford to farm, even on agricultural land,” Brennan said.

The truth is, Brennan charged, is very little farmland is used to grow food. “It’s all smoke and mirrors,” Brennan said.

Halsey, the president of the PLT furnished a written response to The Independent. He said the sale “will enable the SFLF to acquire 60 to 100 additional acres that can be made available to farmers for lease or purchase at affordable prices.”

Though Halsey said much of

the town’s protected farmland remains unaffordable for farmers to plant, Brennan maintained many of the same farmers sold their development rights but have not invested the money they received back into farming.

The Highland Terrace property was gifted in 1978 “without restrictions so that the donor could take full advantage of the charitable gift,” Halsey said. “As such, it represents an asset to further the Continued on Page 45.

A critic charges the Peconic Land Trust misuses its purpose when making deals contrary to its stated goal of preserving open space. The house, above, was moved to a parcel owned

by PLT and then sold and expanded on a lot that was used for farming.

Dems Kick Off ‘Listen Ins’ Independent / Kitty Merrill

Candidates Kathee Burke-Gonzalez and Larry Cantwell listen as Springs residents voice concerns.

By Kitty Merrill

From the never ending/never solved problem of overcrowded

housing to ideas like prohibiting trucks on the jetty beach at Maidstone Park and even developing

the Camp Blue Bay property, audience members offered an earful to candidates Larry Cantwell, Job Potter, and Kathee Burke-Gonzalez, as the Democratic slate for East Hampton town board hosted the first of a series of community “Listen Ins.” The forums are designed to give residents a chance to voice concerns and offer solutions, if they desire.

Last Wednesday night at Ashawagh Hall in Springs, the trio -- Cantwell is running unopposed for town supervisor and Potter and BurkeGonzalez join him at the top of the ticket with bids for town board –

explained their plan was to listen, then go back to formulate specific platforms.

If there was one recurring theme throughout the evening, which boasted some 60 attendees, it was the sense that Springs is “the stepchild” in East Hampton Town.

Speakers repeatedly complained that while the hamlet harbors the largest population, it is always last in line for attention. In fact, it was noted that over the years, town board liaisons to the Springs Citizen Advisory Committee have blown the meetings off just as often as they attended.

Potter, who served on the town board for eight years, retired in 2004, and is stepping up to run again, acknowledged that, because of the housing situation, people are reluctant to buy homes there.

“We’ve got to turn that around,” he said.

The board’s liaison to land purchases during his earlier stint, Potter said he thinks shifting preservation efforts from the acquisition of large tracts of land to the purchase of small parcels in Springs to create pocket parks may help keep population density down.

Frequent town board critic Carol Buda asked the candidates to explain exactly what they plan to do to deal with the illegal housing problem in Springs. Kathy McCormack said that a group of residents formed to push for a solution, but over time, thanks to the antagonistic response from current town board members “lost faith in their government.”

Community members feel “nobody is telling the truth,” she said.

Potter said the slate recognizes it’s a serious problem and commits to “doing as much as we can within the law.” Cantwell said the current administration lacks “a will to enforce the single family zoning definition we currently have.” BurkeGonzalez reminded the purpose of the outing was to listen to the community. She said she’s still doing her homework.

Speaking of homework, Fred Weinberg brought up the test scandal in Springs School. He confronted Burke-Gonzalez, a long time school board member and board president for two years, asking, in light of the controversy, “How can we have confidence in your judgment?” The candidate insisted the school board and the parents stand behind Principal Eric Casale.

She said he was found responsible for just one transgression at his last appointment. “Isn’t one transgression enough?” an audience member called out.

Party All The Time, Party All The Time

By Kitty Merrill

While critics might say East H a m p t o n To w n S u p e r v i s o r Bill Wilkinson and his deputy Councilwoman Theresa Quigley are the crankiest elected officials these parts have seen in years, they sure do like parties. In the last several weeks the pair has pushed to approve last minute permits for two events that are eyebrow raisers.

As reported in last week’s Independent, during their June 20 meeting board members approved, in a split vote, a permit for a super size party predicted to bring 3900 revelers to the Montauk Yacht Club on Friday night for the “Shark Attack Sound” event.

Opponents Councilwoman Sylvia Overby and Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, plus Councilman Dominick Stanzione, who was ultimately the swing vote, complained they didn’t have enough time to review the application. They received it mere days before they were forced to make a decision.

Wilkinson argued the applicants complied with mass gathering law, which requires application be filed at least 30 days prior to the event. Stanzione ultimately voted to approve the permit, stating he didn’t want to punish the applicants because the board members themselves didn’t receive the application in a timely fashion.

He also said he spoke at length with police officials who said they’d have no problem with an event of that size.

Swim Across America Saturday

By Rachel Toy

Independent / Laura Mott

This is the fourth year The East Hampton Ocean Rescue Team, (pictured above), will host the Amagansett Swim for Swim Across America.

Summer has begun, which means that the East Hampton Ocean Rescue volunteers will be very busy protecting swimmers and helping Long Islanders in more ways than one. This summer the Ocean Rescue team will be coordinating three Open Water Swims to benefit multiple organizations.

The “Red Devil” Swim on August 18, will benefit the Ocean Rescue Team, the Montauk Ocean Challenge on July 27 is to benefit the Montauk Playhouse, and the first swim of the summer, the Swim Across America swim on Saturday, will benefit Fighting Chance, the East End’s free cancer counseling

and resource center.

Swim Across America is a national organization that has worked to raise funds for cancer research by organizing swimming-related events throughout the country for the past 26 years. The organization first started as a single event in Nantucket Massachusetts, and now includes 15 Open Water swims and many pool swims across the country as well.

Over the course of these years Swim Across America has raised over $40 million towards cancer research and cancer organizations, and is working to raise more. “We have already made a palpable impact,” said Fighting Chance Founder and Chairman Duncan Darrow, “but there is so much more we can do.”

Darrow first introduced the Swim Across America organization to East Hampton’s Ocean Rescue four years ago, and the organizations have been working together to create this event ever since. Jim Arnold of Ocean Rescue and the community’s Open Water Swim Committee has been in charge of putting the swim together, with the help of SAA’s Nassau/Suffolk committee Chairman Gerry Oakes.

As a sponsor, Ocean Rescue is in charge of setting up the course for the swim, making sure swimmers are able to swim safely, and helping to generate more swimmers and donations.

Because of East Hampton Ocean Rescue’s efforts the Hamptons Swim for Swim Across America has been very successful. Last year the swimmers and volunteers raised over $200,000 in the fight against cancer.

This has been very encouraging for the Swim Across America organization because they are able to help Fighting Chance and other cancer resource and research organizations.

Cancer affects thousands of Long Islanders every year, and Fighting Chance is able to support their patients, and help save lives, due to the help of donors like Swim Across America. Darrow explained his gratitude to Ocean Rescue and Swim Across America saying, “The counseling sessions [Fighting Chance provides] help patients move from an initial sense of despair and disorientation to a sense of hope and empowerment . . . So we continue to expand, thanks in a large part to the generosity of donors like SAA.” The Hamptons swim will take place from 6 to 11 AM, on Saturday at Fresh Pond Beach in Amagansett, with a ceremony afterwards. The swims include a 5k, a one-mile, and a half-mile swim.

Nonprofits Partner To Reduce HIV Risks

By Miles X. Logan

As National HIV Testing Day approached this Thursday, two local nonprofits teamed up to address the often-hidden link between domestic violence and HIV by arranging onsite HIV testing.

The Retreat – eastern Long I sl a n d ’s on l y c om p re h e n si ve domestic violence agency – and Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic (PPHP), a local organization focused on women’s reproductive health, collaborated to raise awareness about the connection between intimate partner violence and HIV and to provide stronger access on June 27 and beyond to HIV testing and counseling for domestic violence victims. PPHP brought its SmartWheels mobile education and testing van to The Retreat’s administrative office and promoted a local practice of screening for both domestic violence and HIV whenever possible.

“Research shows us that being a victim of domestic violence increases one’s chances of becoming infected with HIV. This critical collaboration between the Retreat and Planned Parenthood will systematically

address the unique challenges and barriers facing victims of domestic violence who are at extreme risk of contracting HIV,” said Jeffrey Friedman, Executive Director of The Retreat.

The two cooperating nonprofits are aiming to address two particularly revealing facts: first, nearly 1.2 million people across the U.S. are living with HIV—with almost one in five not knowing they’re infected; and second, 12 percent of HIV/AIDS infections among women in romantic relationships are due to intimate partner violence. Long Island experiences some of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the country.

“Everyone should know their HIV status but it can be difficult to walk into a health center and ask to be tested,” said PPHP President/ CEO Reina Schiffrin. “Many of these women are already dealing with tremendous stress in their lives and we want to make their decision to be tested as easy and non-threatening as possible. By partnering with The Retreat, we are able to bring the clinic right to their door. “ Domestic violence victims are

at increased risk for contracting HIV. Abusers may rape or sexually assault their victims as part of their pattern of control, making it unlikely that the abuser will use a condom. Some abusers may intentionally infect their partners with HIV in an attempt to keep the victim from leaving.

In other cases, victims are often unable to negotiate the use of safer sex practices with coercive partners. Abusive partners who engage in sexual activity outside

the relationship potentially expose victims to HIV. Abusive partners may force victims to engage in sexual activities with others. And, in general, victims of domestic violence often suffer a wide range of health-related problems caused or exacerbated by the abuse. This negative effect on their health may compromise their immune system, increasing their risk of HIV. National HIV Testing Day has occurred annually on June 27 since 2005.

Blackman Plumbing Supply has been a corporate sponsor since the 35-mile, two-day fundraising event began in 2004, making it possible for LI2Day to donate all the money it raises to local breast cancer organizations. The LI2Day event has raised over $4 million since it began.

“Blackman Plumbing Supply is proud to have been there with LI2Day right from the start, and we thank our employees and everyone who supports our involvement in this incredible fundraising effort each year,” said Bob Mannheimer of Bayport, President and CEO. Eight Blackman Plumbing Supply employees -- including Southampton Branch Manager Jane Donaghy -- along with their friends and families participated in the walk last month, with support as well from Blackman vendors.

Launch Life Jackets At Loaner Stations

By Miles X. Logan

Southold-based Sea Tow International, the leading provider of non-emergency on-water assistance, announced the locations of 42 Sea Tow Life Jacket Loaner Stands at a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday. The Sea Tow Foundation’s Life Jacket Loaner Station program has been in existence nationwide since 2009 but had not had a visible presence on Long Island until earlier this year, when they received a $20,000 donation from Clare Rose, Inc., of Yaphank, N.Y., one of the nation’s

largest beverage distributors, and Anheuser-Busch, of St. Louis. Their donation enabled the Sea Tow Foundation to make adult-sized life jackets available island-wide at 42 locations including: Sea Tow locations; marinas; boat ramps; local police and fire stations; and yacht clubs and more. Boaters may borrow life jackets to replace missing or damaged personal flotation devices (PFDs), or use for extra guests on board their boats.

We all want to do what we can to help reduce preventable accidents and have a safer 2013 season and promoting PFD use is part of that.”

This donation is especially meaningful as Sea Tow International celebrates its 30th anniversary throughout 2013. Safety has always been Sea Tow’s number one priority.

Sea Tow offers innovative, free boating safety and information services to the public, including the Sea Tow app for smartphones, and Sea Tow’s Automated Radio Check Service, in addition to the nonprofit Sea Tow Foundation’s Life Jacket Loaner Station Program.

The on-water assistance fleet of choice for boaters since Sept.

3, 1983, Sea Tow International was founded due to the U.S. Coast Guard’s privatization of non-emergency calls, creating a new industry.

This privatization was mandated and put into effect by Public Law 97-322. Sea Tow International, which began, and is still headquartered, in Southold, has grown into a thriving network of nearly 100 franchise locations across the United States, with additional operations in Europe and the Caribbean.

This network consists of a dedicated team of more than 700 Captains, plus crew and support staff that stand by 24/7, to serve Sea Tow members and other boaters should they ever need help on the water.

“We at Clare Rose pride ourselves with not just being a local business – but being an integral part of our Long Island community,” said Sean Rose, President and CEO of Clare Rose.

“When Sea Tow International came to us, we realized the similarities in our company cultures both of which are founded on strong family roots and continued community involvement.

We just knew we had to support them and the Sea Tow Foundation. The potential impact of the Life Jacket Loaner Station Program on Long Island is substantial – and we are a company of avid recreational boaters.”

Accomplishments In 2013 Legislative Session

By Fred Thiele

The 2013 State Legislative Session proved again that New York State has turned the corner toward building a brighter future. Working together with Governor Cuomo, we passed legislation that will boost our economy, create jobs and cut taxes. We also fought for equal rights, successfully restored funding to protect our most vulnerable citizens and raised the minimum wage.

This year marked the state’s third consecutive on-time budget. The fiscal plan makes a commitment to putting more money in the pockets of working families by extending a middle-class personal income tax reduction for three more years, locking in the lowest rate in 60 years. We also reduced energy taxes that will save customers $500 million by fiscal year 2017-18.

In addition, working families will benefit from the creation of a $350 tax credit per child for families with incomes between $40,000 and $300,000, which will provide much-needed relief as parents and guardians struggle to meet the everrising costs of raising children.

Our communities are only as strong as our schools - that’s why I fought for the funding our schools need to provide a quality education.

This year’s budget invests in our children’s future by giving our schools nearly a billion dollars in education funding. The budget also includes $25 million for fullday and half-day pre-Kindergarten grants to allow for more full-day pre-K programs across the state and additional half-day pre-K slots. We also made a commitment to higher education by increasing support to $2422 per-Full Time Equivalent (FTE) student at SUNY community colleges. The base aid increase is $150 per-FTE student, which is the second consecutive increase in community college base aid.

T h e 2 013 - 14 S t a t e B u d g e t increases the state’s minimum wage to $9 per hour by 2016. Raising the minimum wage was the right thing to do for workers and it will put more money into the pockets of those most likely to spend it locally -- jumpstarting consumer spending and helping to spur the economy. Additionally, in order to help struggling families in tough times, the weekly unemployment benefit will gradually increase from $405 per week to 50 percent of the state’s average weekly wage.

In another major

accomplishment, I fought, and succeeded, to restore up to $90 million to the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) in order to help non-profits who work with some of New York’s most vulnerable people. OPWDDfunded organizations provide lifechanging services for those with developmental disabilities, helping them get the care and compassion they need to live a quality life.

Restoring the funding for these OPWDD services is vital.

We know that providing financial relief to hardworking families is essential, but that alone is not enough to get New York moving in the right direction. That’s why I focused aggressively on investing in programs to get our economy back

governments through the establishment of a permanent Financial Restructuring Board to help municipalities restructure their finances and achieve other savings and efficiencies. We also improved the binding arbitration process to provide public services in a more cost-effective manner.

New York will also have a more tax-friendly environment for our businesses. We created a tax credit for businesses that hire veterans -- helping those who have heroically served our country find good employment when they complete their military service -- and reduced the tax on manufacturing companies. The Workers’ Compensation program and Unemployment Insurance system have also been reformed, immediately saving businesses $446.5 million annually.

However, this year’s legislative session was not just about improving the economy. The Assembly passed the Governor’s omnibus 10-point Women’s Equality Act (A.8070) in its entirety, to ensure equal rights for New Yorkers. The act contains 10 sweeping points to bring fairness Continued on Page 40.

on track: • START-UP NY, which will create tax-free zones for eligible businesses near SUNY and CUNY campuses -- as well as private colleges and universities -- to foster job creation. Eligible businesses will have all state taxes waived for 10 years and their employees will not pay income taxes for five years or up to 10 years depending on income level; • New York State Innovation Venture Capital Fund and the New York State Business Incubator and Innovation Hot Spot Support Act, which will create high-tech jobs by assisting the start-up and growth of newly established businesses and technology companies; and • Financial relief for local

RICK’S SPACE Fireworks The term “fireworks” meant something entirely different in Brooklyn. Hereabouts, it describes the ritualistic displays in the skies on weekends like this one. This practice harkens back to the lines, “the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,” I think from a Bob Dylan song.

Apparently, Americans feel the need to blow up thousands of dollars worth of explosives each year to prove our independence. I personally never enjoyed the “fireworks” here – they give me a headache.

When I was growing up in

Brooklyn the older kids trafficked in a different kind of fireworks, much like they did in drugs a decade later.

Firecrackers, bottle missiles, ash cans and cherry bombs were scored in bulk and then sold on the streets.

Buying bulk meant a trip to the dreaded Chinatown which had a reputation as a rough-and-tumble neighborhood, even though we, as Italians, fancied ourselves as the toughest ethnic group in the city.

In those days there were actually two countries that went by the name China – there was the big China, the one with Mao and the

www.indyeastend.com

REAL ESTATE

Great Wall, and the other one, later known as Taiwan. Our government insisted that was the real China, and its leader, Chaing Kai-shek, was the rightful ruler of all China. My sense was that Taiwan was sort of like China Light and probably had a hurricane fence around it instead of a Great Wall.

The distinction didn’t matter on the streets of Chinatown, where a mat of firecrackers could be had for four bucks. That’s 80 packs, and each could be sold for twenty cents.

That means you could quadruple your money.

(A decade later you could do the same thing with marijuana – buy a pound for $200 and sell it for $20 an ounce. The trouble is once you smoked it you could no longer do the math and could never figure out how to break even. Then again, you no longer cared.)

Anyhow, the teenagers in our neighborhood would dress up in their most menacing gear - pointy black shoes, tight pants, leather belt with a buckle that could double as a weapon if need be, tight white t-shirt, big pompadour, and a Lucky Strike dangling from their lips.

Some would carry knifes, often a switchblade. They would hide their money in their socks, as if the Chinese gangs would never think

to look there.

They would curse profusely: “If that effin eff even looks at me wrong I’ll eff the effin eff until that eff drops dead,” Tony “Snaggle Tooth” Russo would say – and he’d be talking about his little sister.

The deal would usually go down as planned, with the Chinese kids dressed just like Tony and the gang, all of them gesturing and cursing.

Then the guys would come home with “the package,” bring it to the schoolyard, and start breaking the stuff down for sale.

Ash cans and cherry bombs went for a quarter each. For a while they passed under the radar until people started realizing they were quite powerful. People started realizing this when their kids came home with mangled hands and missing fingers.

The ads on TV warned us not to use them – they made them sound like atomic bombs – the net result was, of course, that we all wanted to buy them so we could blow something big up. A few years later I got into the firecracker dealing business by popular demand. The kids out on the East End had a terrible time getting fireworks. I don’t want to say they were hicks but jeez, they didn’t even shoplift.

What self-respecting 14 year-old didn’t lift a candy bar here and there?

When I used to go to church at St. Andrew’s in Sag Harbor the other city kids would cut mass and go across the street to Korsak’s, where there was a candy display right by the door. They would just help themselves, much to the shock of the locals, who never dreamed of doing such a thing. I remember Ricky Larsen telling some of the young’uns that if God didn’t want them to take the candy he wouldn’t have put it right by the door. “It’s like getting Holy Communion every Sunday except it tastes better,” he told the little ones.

I took a bunch of firecrackers out to Sag Harbor to sell. I was kind of like middleman -- I bought them from “Snaggle Tooth” Russo. I was to mark up each pack a dime and bring the difference back to him.

Things went smoothly for an hour or so, until the locals started setting off firecrackers all over the place.

Sure enough, they got busted and quickly did what no Brooklynite would ever do – they squealed on me. There were fireworks at my house that night – thank God my parents didn’t beat the effin eff out of me. Snaggle Tooth did though, when pay-up time came and went and he finally caught up with me.

EDITORIAL About Sustainability Credit the Southampton Town Board for realizing crafting a sustainability plank for the Comprehensive Plan required a lot more pubic input than it originally was going to get.

What on the surface seems a rather mundane matter –- assuring the long-term health of the planet -- has for good or bad been politicized. The UN Agenda 21, which has been embraced by municipalities worldwide, does have some wording that if taken literally could trump our personal property rights. Worse, in its zeal to nurture those who can’t help themselves – the poor, children, and minorities, for example – there seems to be some sentiment that the cost of doing so will fall on the Middle Class, and that is cause enough for concern. Let’s keep it local, and keep politics out of sustainability.

When A Board Member Crosses The Line There can be no gray area. A public servant most hold himself or herself to the strictest of standards, and even the appearance of favoritism or impropriety must be avoided at all costs.

In the case of East Hampton Town Councilwoman Theresa Quigley, it’s not even close. She has too often participated in discussions that could benefit her friends,

Independent VOICES

The Saga Of Hidden Cover Dear Rick Murphy, Your nasty missive disguised as an editorial about the county’s emergency shelter for families at the Hidden Cove Motel in Hampton Bays overflows with fiction, distortions and revision of history, but not to worry.

With Hidden Cove (HC), one thing counts far more than your misstatement, misplaced anger and misreporting; more than the neoliberal town supervisor’s fabrications. And by the way, more than once, even publicly, DSS offered to work with the town to move this shelter to an acceptable location, and never did the

supervisor or anyone else reply.

Your silly reasoning of why I retired after 36 years in public life deserves no answer.

All that, however, is background noise.

By the time HC closes later this year, close to 400 desperate families will have been served there, most with pre-school aged kids.

They are on their way to, or often back to, the middle class, whose cause you oddly insist has been threatened by the shelter’s very existence.

In fact, the HC shelter, in all respects, is a true humanitarian achievement. It came about not only by county DSS and its able professionals in CHI, but also the community of Hampton Bays, the county taxpayers, the school district property owners (your million $ figure of the cost to the school district of the children placed at the shelter is grossly overstated, as were

business associates, and in this latest case, her family.

The fact that she is an attorney makes the fact that she refuses to acknowledge that she crosses the line even more glaring.

The latest indiscretion is voting on a party permit for the Montauk Beach House that was turned in late and brought to the table without any public input. Quigley’s “Yes” vote came just as the news that her daughter had taken a job at the club.

Yes, in itself it is mundane news that a teenager gets a summer job.

But this isn’t the first time Quigley has championed the Beach House. One of its owners, Larry Siedlick, has long ties with the law firm that employed Quigley, and a significant amount of money changed hands over the years. Clearly, Quigley needed to recuse herself from any discussions about the Beach House. She never has.

The Town Ethics Code has several sections that deal with the matter: One prohibits “A direct or indirect pecuniary or material benefit accruing to a Town officer or employee as the result of a contract with the Town which such officer or employee serves.” The code specifically mentions children of the board members.

The rule is clear-cut – when in doubt, sit it out. Quigley should never involve herself in discussions about any individual or firm that does business with her law firm, period, and she obviously should recuse herself when discussing an establishment that just hired her daughter.

other figures cited) and the state of NY. There was a lot to juggle, and it worked!

Now a revised, updated approach for family sheltering by the county is being implemented. As a result, outlying, small and medium-sized emergency shelters will decrease in number.

Still, the awesome challenge of sheltering Long Island’s homeless persists.

And for its part, the saga of Hidden Cove proves to have been most positive and instructive.

GREG BLASS Editor’s Note: Yes it was particularly “positive” to the landlord who raked in almost 30 grand a month in taxpayers’ money for that dump, and to the management company, CHI, that is paid millions of dollars each year by the county to play “warden” at these facilities. You still don’t get it – the Southampton town supervisor balked at housing these DSS

recipients because they didn’t come from Southampton. In fact, many were not even from Suffolk, the state, and some weren’t even from this country! They came to get public assistance, which you so blithely provided to all comers. And guess who gets stuck with the tab?

in advance.

So what brought Federal attention to our area? Identity theft by convenience store owners (they provided Social Security numbers to their illegal workers) and a Federal government desperate to give the appearance of enforcement.

In the big picture, the token 7-Eleven raids were meaningless window dressing.

Media reports describe the fifty illegal immigrants arrested as “victims,” but who are we kidding? The Pakistani nationals knew they had no right to work here, and they gladly took part in document fraud and identity theft to make illegal dollars.

Don’t expect any of the illegal employees to be deported, because the Feds will let them remain here to testify at a trial that may take place two, three or four years from now.

Is there any good news to come out of the 7-Eleven Photo Op enforcement? Yes! Now, all of us know that ICE does indeed have Agents and vehicles they can dispatch to our area.

Rep. Bishop, don’t insult us by citing Photo Op enforcement as an excuse to push your mass Amnesty scheme.

When will your office demand that ICE Agents assigned to our area cooperate with our local police 24/7?

Mr. Bishop, it may shock you, but illegal immigrants in your district cause a disproportionate number of drunk driving crashes.

Hypocrisy At Smithfield

The First Eastern Long Island Newspaper

Subscriptions by 1st Class Mail: $91 yearly ©2013 Entire Contents Copyrighted

REAL ESTATE

Dear Editor, Smithfield Foods has fired Paula Deen over her use of a racial epithet because it claims that it’s “determined to be an ethical food industry leader,” yet the world’s largest killer of pigs is on the brink of being purchased by a Chinese company that was caught feeding pigs a drug that can sicken humans who ingest meat tainted with it. Smithfield itself has flip-flopped on its promise to phase out gestation crates — which are so small that pregnant pigs can’t turn around or even take a single step in any direction — and it will require only company-owned farms to act, not contract farms.

In 2007, PETA documented that workers at a Smithfield supplier dragged injured pigs by their snouts, ears, and legs before killing them with a captive-bolt gun.

Workers also cut off piglets’ tails and pulled out their testicles as the youngsters screamed in pain.

Smithfield claims that it “condemns the use of offensive and discriminatory language and behavior of any kind,” yet according to a New York Times article about a Smithfield slaughterhouse in North Carolina, employees were overheard using racist slurs, and the reporter noted that blacks and Hispanics got “the dirty jobs at the factory.”

An African-American woman standing in line recently at Deen’s Savannah restaurant said forgivingly, “She’s just from another time.” This is true, and so are Smithfield’s cruel and unhealthy products, and it’s time for them to be consigned to the history books like segregated lunch counters.

SFLF’s public benefit purpose, to conserve working farms, a purpose that is completely consistent with the CPF. Rather than sell the property, the SFLF Board authorized the sale of development rights to the town, a win-win situation for all,” he added. But Brennan said it’s a loss for the public, because CPF money is being used to preserve a parcel many people assumed already was preserved.

Brennan and Halsey have butted heads before – in 2011 the PLT agreed to move a house onto a parcel of farmland it owned in Sagaponack and subsequently sold it. Halsey said the house, on Halsey Lane, has historical value because of its rare architectural style, known as a “foursquare” farmhouse and that the PLT saved it from destruction. Brennan scoffed, saying in jest, “Yeah, there are only about 500,000 four squares left.” He said in reality PLT wanted to do a developer a favor and make some money in the process. It has since been sold, though the original structure was saved, there have been extensive additions to it, and the one-acre of farmland has been basically covered with outbuildings, a pool, pool house, garage, and tennis court.

Brennan fears the deal will set a precedent – that more CPF money will flow to the PLT, SFLT, and other similar conservation not-for-profits.

In fact, he said there is a similar parcel across the street from the one in question that could meet a similar fate. “ I n t h e l a s t 15 y e a r s , Massachusetts and Vermont added an Option to Purchase at Agricultural Value (OPAV) to many of its development rights purchases,” Halsey countered. “This and other restrictions have been used to great effect by local governments and land trusts alike to assure that protected farmland is available to farmers at prices they can afford.”

CSH Moves To New Home After a 15-year residency at the Old Whalers’ Church in Sag Harbor, The Conservative Synagogue of the Hamptons has relocated to the Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse at 977 Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike.

“We make this move with great joy and great sadness,” stated CSH Rabbi Jan Uhrbach. “We truly love our friends at the Old Whalers’ Church, where we’ve been treated like family, and where we feel like family. We feel terribly sad to leave such a sacred space and such a wonderful community, and we are eternally grateful to Pastor Mark Phillips and the congregation for their great generosity.”

“At the same time,” Uhrbach continued, “we’ve been welcomed with open arms and open hearts by the Unitarian Universalists into their beautiful home, and it has been a joy and a blessing to meet a whole new group of gracious, sensitive, and kind people.”

The new space at the UU Meetinghouse has the advantage of being air-conditioned. In addition, according to CSH president Stacy Menzer, the congregation was able to find affordable housing for Rabbi Uhrbach that will enable her to walk to services on the Jewish Sabbath, as required by Jewish law -- at a time when locating such housing in Sag Harbor has become increasingly difficult.

Rabbi Uhrbach commented: “The Old Whalers’ Church has a matchless historical charm and beauty; the Meetinghouse has an open, airy, modern simplicity and grace. Both buildings reflect the character of their communities: they are holy spaces, and you feel it the moment you enter.”

Rev. Alison Cornish attended the synagogue’s first service at the Meetinghouse, to welcome the group. Rabbi Uhrbach then attended a Sunday Unitarian Universalist service, to offer her gratitude in person.

As is customary, Kabbalat Shabbat services take place Friday nights at 6:30 PM, followed by a communal Shabbat dinner every other week, at Rabbi Uhrbach’s residence. Shabbat morning services take place at 9:30 AM at the Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse.

A second tense moment broke the generally convivial atmosphere when Alex Sneddon confronted Potter about decisions made during his earlier tenure on the town board (from 1998 to 2005). He rebuked purchases of Keyes Island and the joint acquisition, with Southampton Town, of Poxabogue Golf Center. “I would have a great deal of difficulty voting for you,” he said, suggesting the candidate keep his day job.

Potter responded, offering reasons behind each purchase, saying about each, “At the time, I felt it was the right thing to do.” Finishing his

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

explanation, Potter said, “That’s the best I can do, sir,” as a large section of the audience applauded.

Also at the Listen In: • Hortense Carpentier wondered whether the town recycling center might go back to operating on Wednesdays and if the home exchange section would be resurrected. Cantwell pointed out that the town is still operating under deficit financing, so the new administration would have to take a careful look. He said he’d like to see “Caldor’s East” reopened.

• Brad Loewen said he hopes the new board remembers the fishermen and fisheries. The town-appointed fisheries committee was “gutted”

under the present administration and should be restored, he said.

• Ira Barocas believes every property taken off the tax rolls through open space acquisitions “raises our taxes.” To groans from those assembled, he suggested “a large development” at Camp Blue Bay might add to the tax base. Cantwell reported that studies undertaken going as far back as the 1970s have shown that development actually costs more money than preservation.

• Connie Dondore complained about trucks destroying the beach and blocking the view of the water at Maidstone Beach. She asked the candidates to consult with the town trustees and consider banning parking and driving on the strip near the jetties, at least during the day.

• Ray Hartjen asked hopefuls to look at the Gerard Drive causeway –

IN THE NEWS

“It’s a mess” – and restore grants to the Springs Library.

• Bruce Nalepinski would like to see the speed limit on Three Mile Harbor Road reduced and suggested future listening tours should offer a bilingual speaker. “One third of our community is Latino; they’re not here,” he said.

Finally Larr y Mayer asked the slate what can be done to shed Springs of its “stepchild” status. Change is going to start, said Cantwell, with a supervisor and town board who believe in planning and zoning, which exist to preserve neighborhoods and natural resources. Emphasizing that there is no single silver bullet, Cantwell promised, “We will do something.

We will make a change.”

The next “Listen In” will be held in Montauk, at Gurney’s on July 29 from 7 to 9 PM.

he voted to approve the gathering because “I did my due diligence and it’s a just cause.” He called Free Arts NYC “a highly respected philanthropic organization.”

The Montauk Beach House was in the news last year, after Wilkinson was accused of giving the property’s owners a sweetheart deal that allowed the construction of the uber-high end hotel to move forward and its pre-existing nonconforming use to allegedly expand.

There was new information revealed following the hasty adoption of approval, with yes votes from Wilkinson, Quigley and Stanzione. Quigley’s daughter was just given a job at the Beach House.

Quigley didn’t recuse herself from the vote. Asked by The Independent if she consulted the town attorney’s office as to whether she should have recused herself, Quigley answered, via email, with a terse, “Yes.” The Town’s Ethics Code discusses “direct or indirect” pecuniary benefit accruing to a town officer as the result of a contract with the town. The code notes officers have an interest in contracts of spouses, minor children and dependents. It calls for the disclosure of interest, publicly, which means Quigley ought to have mentioned her daughter was just hired by the Beach House during discussion of the application.

She did not. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Every summer, hundreds of different fish species inhabit our marine waters throughout Long Island. Most of these fish are either migratory or live in these waters year-round.

They are here because they have a purpose and have come on their own willpower to feed on the abundance of food that thrives in our nutrient-rich waters. These fish will linger, feeding and accumulating the energy needed to migrate back where they came from or to venture off into deeper waters to burrow down for the winter. Whichever group of fish they are, they have the privileged ability to swim to a habi-

tat that will assure their survival during the winter with the hope of returning the following year.

But there is a group of fish that also inhabit these waters of Long Island that are seldom seen. They are known as the exotic (tropical) Gulf Stream fishes and they are here in our waters throughout the summer but, unlike other fish groups, they will not be going home.

The Gulf Stream is a powerful, warm, and swift Atlantic Ocean current originating in the Gulf of Mexico, exiting through the Strait of Florida and flowing in a northerly direction along the southeast coast of the United States, passing Long Island 150 to 200 miles offshore.

Independent / Courtesy SoFo

The Lookdown Fish is just one of an array of unusual species you can spy in local waters during the summer.

Every year in the Gulf of Mexico many types of tropical fish spawn, releasing free-floating eggs and developing larvae into the water column. As this strong ocean current whips past spawning grounds, it pulls in anything in its path, especially young developing fish that eventually find themselves drifting north and away from their home range.

As these fish drift closer and closer to Long Island, they are diverted away from the Gulf Stream by large eddies (swirls) that form carrying them into inshore waters like Shinnecock and Gardiners Bay. It is here that these tropical visitors will stay and develop throughout the summer, not yet realizing that they are not in their normal habitat.

As the summer season progresses, there is no better opportunity to grab your snorkel gear and flippers and head down to the bay and try to view such wonderful creatures as Lookdown, Trigger, Banded Rudder, Jack Crevalle, Spotfin Butterfly, Glasseye Snapper or even a Bigeye. I have seen all these fish many times here on the East End in eelgrass beds and around pilings. Ponquogue Bridge in Hampton Bays is a great snorkeling spot to find these fish.

When summer deepens and water temperatures begin to cool, these fish are triggered through their sensory systems to head back to their tropical environment, back offshore in search of the Gulf Stream current that brought them here. As they swim offshore sensing the warm current, they are sucked back in the Gulf Stream which continues to head in a northerly direction. It brings them to the frigid waters off Nova Scotia and Europe where they will perish due to the cold or be eaten by prey.

Before the fish make their oneway journey, hop in the water this summer to take in a tropical view and experience the beauty of the Caribbean in our own backyard.

This August the South Fork Natural History Museum offers a week-long, hands-on Marine Sciences Summer Program designed to introduce children aged six to 11 to the region’s myriad marine wonders. Adventures include snorkeling and seining, plus a day spent aboard a scientific marine research vessel.

Teams Are Tightly Bunched In The HCBL

By Rick Murphy

As teams jockey for position in the Hamptons one thing is for sure – the seven squads are evenly matched, meaning it’s going to be tight right down to the wire.

Center Moriches is currently sitting on top of the standings, with Riverhead (9-7) and Shelter Island (8-7) poised to take over. Last Thursday Center Moriches edged Westhampton 6-5. The Battlecats laced 13 hits and survived a ninth inning rally by the Aviators, who tied the score courtesy of Joey Havrilak, who tripled in one run, and Ryan Spaulding, who brought him in with a double. Nick Nunziato drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the inning to end it.

The North Fork Ospreys (7-11) denied Shelter Island a chance to move into the league lead, besting the Bucks 10-3. David Jesch had his good stuff working on the hill for the Ospreys, and the team exploded for seven six innings runs to put this one out of reach. Tom O’Neill had a two run single during the rally, and Michael Fries and Eric Solberg also delivered run scoring hits.

In other action last Wednesday, Westhampton, currently in

fourth place with a 9-9 mark, edged Sag Harbor 4-3. J.C. Brandmaier, who plays college ball at Dowling, launched a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth to put the Aviators on top for good. Kyle Schwartz earned the win and Preston Brown got credit for a save.

The North Fork edged Southampton (8-9) 2-1 the same day. The Breakers drew first blood when Andrew Gorecki plated a run with a double. But Joe Salanitri, the winning pitcher, took command of the game from then on. He went 8 1/3 innings, and David Deliz picked up the same by recording the last two outs. The Ospreys scored two runs on four hits in the eighth, the goahead score coming in on a single

by Jim Pjura.

Sag Harbor plays at Shelter Island tomorrow in a 10 AM July Fourth game. Westhampton travels to Southampton for a 5 PM tiff.

On Friday Shelter Island plays

Jonathon Mulford pitched five shutout innings, giving up just one hit as Sag Harbor reached the .500 mark with a win over visiting Southampton.

at Southampton and Sag Harbor goes up to Riverhead – first pitch is slated for 2 PM in both games.

Center Moriches hopes to hold

onto first place, going on the road to play North Fork at 7 PM. That game will be played at Cochran Park in Peconic.

succeed since East held the queen.

Declarer then had to fall back on a successful finesse in clubs. Most guessed incorrectly and lost a trick to the queen of clubs. Down one!

One declarer, Linda Riley, whose partner was her husband, realized that she did not need to try finesse at all. She remembered that finesse was as likely to fail as to succeed.

So she made a plan with a different line of play. After winning the first trick with the ace of hearts, Linda won the ace of diamonds, returned to her hand with a trump and led a second diamond, which she trumped in dummy. She returned to her hand with a high trump and led her last diamond and trumped in dummy.

At this point, she played her losing heart. No matter which defender won that trick, he could not lead a club because Linda would get a “free finesse.” If he led a diamond or a heart, Linda would discard the nine of clubs and trump in dummy. Six spades bid and made by a clever South.

FANTASY SP

By Skippy Brown

RTS

A Glut Of Talent It used to be pretty easy to figure out what to do in our Fantasy Football draft. If one of the big three were available, you’d take them late in the first round or early in the second. Then, the other teams would pick through the remains in the ensuing rounds.

My, how times have changed.

Never before have there been so many viable fantasy quarterbacks available – and that means a major rethink in strategy is needed.

Yes, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady are fantasy gold, and

now that he is healthy again, Peyton Manning is on the list as well. Those four are especially valuable in the leagues that place a premium on touchdown passes, like CBS, which still awards six points per.

But the new breed of quarterbacks also throw their share of touchdown passes – and they can run, too – meaning they will give you a lot of extra rushing points the above four will not.

Take Robert Griffin III. He was arguably the best fantasy football quarterback in the game before he

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

hurt his knee – and he was a rookie!

Ditto Colin Kaepernick, who led the 49ers to the Super Bowl once he took over as the starter.

Seattle’s Robert Wilson was yet another rookie who sparkled after he took over as starter for Seattle.

Then there is Cam Newton, Fantasy’s top rated quarterback in 2011. He started slow last season but came on hard. He is primed to have a breakout season.

Last season Brees led the league in passing yards with 5177 but relatively unheralded Mathew Stafford was second (4967) and Tony Romo was third (4903). Matt Ryan put together an incredible season with 4719 yards and 32 touch down passes, which ranked fifth (right behind the big four).

Then there is Andrew Luck, who was also a rookie last season. He improved markedly as the season

V E G S ’ I GIE K C I Local & Organic S V 631.267.8272

IN THE NEWS

progressed and remember, he was picked ahead of Griffin in the NFL draft.

Let’s not forget Eli Manning, a yardage-generating machine, Joe Flacco, who led the Colts to the championship, and Jay Cutler. All of them are capable of putting plenty of fantasy points on the board.

So here is the conundrum: do you really want to take a QB early in the draft when the handful of stud running backs are still available?

The answer is no. I won’t look at quarterbacks until the top 10 running backs are gone, and also the elite tier of wide receivers – Calvin Johnson, A.J. Green, Demaryius Thomas, Dez Bryant and Brandon Marshall, to name five.

I might even consider (yipes!) taking a tight end before my quarterback – Jimmy Graham stands out now that Rob Gronkowski needs surgery and Aaron Hernandez has that pesky murder charge against him.

Listen up – someone is always going to grab Rodgers or Peyton too early. Let them. When you see the quarterbacks who run starting to go off the board, make your move.

Kaepernick, Wilson, Griffin or Cam Newtown are names I want on top of my lineup.

Bass are falling for clam baits and bucktails on the night tides in the inlet too. The Ponquogue Bridge has a fair amount of fluke hanging around its structure with enough keepers to keep you interested. The bridge has been great on the night tides for those targeting bass with the live shad that comes in each night. The local ocean beaches have seen some bass and cocktail blues fall for bucktails, tins and swimming plugs at dawn and dusk.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

www.indyeastend.com

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

Fog! Jeez, is it me or have we been beset by fog more often than sun of late? For those of a more scientificbent, fog that forms when water is warmer than the air is called “steam” fog (Fall). Think of that pot of spaghetti water you are boiling.

Fog that forms when the water is colder than the air is called “advection” fog (Spring).

There is a third kind of fog called “radiation” fog. That is the fog that you see float in across the backyard or linger in a dip in the country road.

But fog is fog. You can’t see the land or the buoys or, worse, the bow!

What to do?

Well, with the dropping price of radar, boats in the mid-20’ range can now be found to have radar aboard.

If you do have radar aboard, read the manual and get familiar with gain controls. I won’t waste space in this newspaper lending advice to a skipper who already has a state of the art system aboard on how

to use it.

Not surprisingly however, the advice below holds for the 65’er with radar and chart overlay capabilities as well as the skipper in the 17’ open boat with a 90-hp Merc on the stern.

When the fog rolls in . . .

1. Slow down to “a slow bell,” that is, with forward propulsion necessary to maintain steerage, but no greater. Put on life jackets.

(See “Life Jackets – Do I Really Need To Wear One?” The Independent, 2/22/12) 2. While underway and making way, that is, engine in gear, give one “prolonged” blast on your whistle (4-6 seconds). This is specified in the Navigation Rules, Rule 35(a) (See “COLREGs: What’s That I Hear?”

The Independent, 10/3/07.) In fact, the Rules say “not more than two minutes apart.” Let me make it plainer. No LESS than every two minutes.

3. While underway but not making way, that is, dead stop on

REAL ESTATE

the engine but not at anchor, give two “prolonged” blasts, separated by a couple of seconds apart, no less than every two minutes. This is Rule 35(b).

4. If necessary to anchor due to visibility (none!), “boats less than 39 feet 4 inches (12 meters) in length may make an efficient sound signal at intervals of not more than two minutes.” In short, it is not specified for boats under 12 meters. Boats larger than 12 meters at anchor must clang their bell five times quickly followed by one prolonged and one short (one-second) blast in the whistle.

5. Listen. Sound travels more efficiently through fog than clear air. Listen. Bring your engine to dead stop from time to time and listen. Listen for the sound of surf (move away from that!), buoy whistles/horns/bells (move towards that, carefully) or other engines (sound danger whistle right away and take all way off – but don’t turn off the engine!)

S o , n o w y o u a r e p r o pe r ly communicating with other boats but you do want to get in out of the fog if you can. How? Don’t, as some old chestnuts might advise, hug the shore. As the fog intensifies and you draw closer and closer to shore, you know what will happen.

(See “Hard Aground, Now What!?”

The Independent, 8/29/12.) Of far

more danger, don’t “hug the shore” when you are outside the Inlet.

If you get caught in the surf line (see #5 above), you will be capsized and now there is imminent threat to life.

If you can’t see, you must stop, drop the hook, sound your warning horn as specified and wait out the fog. If due to electronics (GPS, Loran) you realize that you are in a heavy traffic lane, get out - at a slow speed and just enough to be out of the traffic. But if you can’t see past the bow and you are underway and making way, you are in extreme danger of having a collision at sea.

If you have some visibility, see #’s 1 and 2 above. The slower speed will help in another way as well – you can hear better. Lastly, if you have those canisters of compressed gas as your boat’s horn/whistle, you will likely run out of compressed air before you run out of fog. Think about getting a simple whistle. Get the “pea-less” kind in case you have to worry about your spittle freezing one cold and foggy day . . . and blow, baby, blow!

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