Growing Healthy Kids

By Kitty Merrill

What did your kids have for lunch? A snack shack hot dog, chips and soda? The ubiquitious lunchable?

PB&J on white bread with Yodels for dessert?

You’ll find none of that at the i-Grow Summer Learning program in Springs where last Friday students dined on cold yogurt and cucumber soup, ratatouille, carrot salad with string beans, chicory, rice and beans, garlic bread with herb butter, and baked clams caught locally.

The clams were harvested locally and so were all the vegetables. And the veggies were not merely from a local source, they were from the camp’s own garden, tended by the kids, picked by the kids, then cooked and served by them as well.

An initiative undertaken through Project MOST’s Springs Seedlings program, i-Grow is designed to give low income kids access to fresh, local produce and an education about healthy food. Twenty percent of East Hampton students now live at poverty level, according to Tim Bryden, executive director of Project

MOST -- that’s not a statistic people expect when they think of the playground of the rich and famous.

Located on the grounds of Springs School, i-Grow’s “farm” is comprised of an approximately 40’x30’ plot boasting between 30 and 40 different species of vegetables, fruits, and herbs, Bryden informed. A greenhouse built with support from Springs Seedings founders -- Chef Joe Realmuto of Nick & Toni’s and Brian Futerman from Foodies -- was also part of a tour last Friday afternoon.

A peek inside revealed an abundance of plants, including a vine weighty with ripening tomatoes.

The i-Grow program, according to Bryden, is centered on the theme of food justice. “It’s an effort to get people connected to fresh food.”

Some 58 children, ages eight to 12, are registered in the four week, educational program. Children whose family income is less than $40,000 per year attend for free; others pay a token stipend.

It’s no ordinary summer camp.

Besides working in the garden, kids Continued ON page 36.

AND THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL BE . . .

Democrats are many things; stupid is not one of them.

Since 2008, they have had a hold on the Oval Office.

They plan to hold on to it until 2024.

They have a winning formula and they will stick to it.

The formula calls for their Presidential candidate to be: Tall, handsome, young, articulate, a great speaker with a great voice and, oh yes, he must be black.

Forget for a second that many people believe that by 2016, after eight years in office, Barack Obama – who had all those attributes when he was elected – will be challenging Jimmy Carter for the title of the weakest president in our nation’s history.

Instead, live with the fact that in 2016, on his last disappointing day in office, Barack Obama could run and still easily defeat any Republican

challenger for the presidency.

The formula holds.

Here’s how it works: A black candidate for president automatically wins 93 to 96 percent of the black vote. This is considered by liberals to be “acceptable” racism.

Thus, Democrats will easily carry urban areas with large AfricanAmerican populations.

This includes cities like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Newark, Cleveland and Detroit. If, of course, there still is a Detroit at the next election.

This edge usually adds up to a Democratic victory in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio and Michigan – states with about 180 electoral votes of the 270 electoral votes needed for a victory.

Next we come to Latinos. As a Republican, I must ask is there anything more that Republicans

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

can do to discourage Latinos from voting for a Republican Presidential candidate?

I think not.

Then of course there is the union vote. Democrats own that, too.

Liberals? Would they love another black president?

You bet their bleeding hearts they would.

And finally we come to your ordinary, garden-variety Democrat voters. Loyal? They are the most loyal voters on earth.

They will vote for a perv like Anthony Weiner for Mayor of New York before they would vote for a Republican.

Same goes for Democrat Eliot Spitzer, who will buy his election for Comptroller the same way he bought women as prostitutes.

So in 2016 an African-American politician will be the Democratic candidate for president.

I give you The Honorable Cory Booker as the next President of the United States.

Google Cory Booker and this is what you get: “He tried living on a ‘food stamp’ budget to raise awareness of food insecurity, shoveling the driveway of a constituent upon request, allowing Hurricane Sandy victims into his home, helping a constituent propose to his girlfriend, rescuing a dog from freezing temperatures, saving a woman from a house fire at his own risk and rescuing a dog that had been locked in a crate.”

Little things? Wait until you hear them dramatized night after night on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. etc. etc.

Booker will be a U.S. Senator this year and he will have as much experience in Washington in 2016 as Obama had when he ran for the

Art on the Edge 2013 Annual New Contemporary Group Exhibition featuring 16 artists of international renown July 12th thru August 5th 631 324 3303 www.veredart.com

IN THE NEWS

presidency.

As for Cory Booker’s record as the Mayor of Newark, you can expect a lot of front-page stories in The New York Times, starting with “The Miracle of Newark,” a four-part series that will say Newark was down and out until Booker took over as Mayor.

What about Hillary, you ask?

Are you talking about “Benghazi Hillary?” Are you talking about blacks staying home and not voting?

Do you really think the Democrat powers-that-be who deserted Hillary in 2008 are ready to risk another Democratic campaign for president on a frail almost-70-year-old who, as the behind-the-scenes whispering will say, “may have health issues?”

And what about the Republican candidate?

Once the Republican candidate is put through the Tea Party, conservative talk radio and primary debate meat grinders, he will be confused, staggering and have to face the liberal media.

Buoyed by the great success of 2012 when they accused Republicans of “waging a war on women,” in 2016 Democrats will float the idea of giving every 12-year-old boy and girl a supply of free condoms every month.

When the Republicans protest, they will be charged with “waging a war on children,” causing disease and adding to the alarming increase in illegitimate births by 13-year-olds.

“Hope and Change,” the empty promise of Barack Obama, will give way to the Booker slogan, “Power to the People.”

You say you have heard “Power to the People” before? It doesn’t matter.

Democrats have great confidence in the “political Alzheimer’s” of their loyal constituents.

President Cory Anthony Booker.

Hail to the Chief.

Bishop Ethics Probe Intensifies

By Rick Murphy

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ethics (OCE), after investigating a complaint that Congressman Tim Bishop illegally solicited a campaign contribution, has decided to pursue the allegations.

On Friday K. Michael Conaway, the Chairman of OCE, announced its members “have jointly decided to extend the matter regarding” Bishop.

The complaint was filed by Councilman Robert Creighton of Smithtown, a supporter of Bishop’s o p p o n e n t , R a n d y A l t s c h u l e r, who lost his bid to unseat the Congressman last year.

The complaint stems from an incident that occurred in May 2012. Eric Semler, a hedge fund manager with an oceanfront home in Sagaponack, planned to throw his son a Bar Mitzvah complete with a Fireworks By Grucci Fireworks display on May 26.

Grucci informed Semler on May

21 that it had not received the necessary approvals – one problem was nesting piping plovers, a protected species, at a nearby beach.

Semler called Bishop, who agreed to intercede, according to documents obtained by The Independent.

Semler ended up writing the Bishop campaign a check for $5000, but not before complaining – he called the solicitation from Bishop’s camp “really gross” in an email to Fireworks By Grucci just days after he called Bishop asking for help. In one email Semler complained that Bishop, “didn’t hesitate to solicit me in the heat of the battle.”

“As I have said many times, I welcome a fair-minded review of the facts because I have done nothing wrong,” Bishop said in a statement Friday. Bishop earlier maintained that Semler offered to make a contribution, but email correspondence obtained by this newspaper contradicts that claim.

It appears Semler, changed his

story after getting a phone call from Bishop. Though he now claims he didn’t know Bishop was running for office until after his son’s Bar Mitzvah, Molly Bishop’s email on May 23 clearly contradicts him.

Molly Bishop, a campaign fundraiser for her father, emailed Semler a few days before the Bar Mitzvah: “Our Finance Chair, Bob Sillerman suggested to my dad that you were interested in a contribution to his campaign and that I should be in touch directly with you. (We are going to be in a tough, expensive campaign) and so we are very grateful for your willingness to be of help.”

Creighton did not know Semler and Sillerman had business dealings together when he filed the complaint with the OCE. The Independent reported exclusively in its August 29, 2012 issue about the relationship.

According to SEC records dated July 30 of that year Eric Semler’s

Protesters outside a Tim Bishop fundraiser in Southampton Saturday.

firm, TCS Global Equity Master Fund, was involved in an offering by a new company Sillerman controlled.

Viggle Inc. filed a prospectus on that date listing Sillerman as executive chairman. TCS, according to the document, held or holds one million warrants to purchase shares of Viggle, and Semler has “voting power and investment power” over the securities held by TCS Global.

Oliver Longwell, a spokesman for Bishop, said via e-mail yesterday Continued ON page 37.

Bishop Protestors Complain About Treatment

By Rick Murphy

A group of protestors who attended a fundraiser for Congressman Tim Bishop – featuring an appearance

by Nancy Pelosi – were hustled and intimidated by authorities, they charged.

Saturday’s event, on tony Meadow Lane, was held at the oceanfront house of longtime Bishop ally Robert F.X. Sillerman. Pastor Donald Havrilla on the Southampton Full Gospel Church said Southampton Village Police and other security personnel threatened him and his supporters, many of them senior citizens.

“They tried to tell us this millionaire owns the road and owns the other side of the road,” Havrilla said.

“I said, `I beg to differ.’” My attorney advised me we were on solid ground and I had spoken to [Mayor Mark] Epley on Saturday and told him what we intended to do.”

James Boyd, one of the protestors, snapped a picture of a letter written

by Epley’s office in a windshield parked along the roadside. It clearly stated, “The village owned the public land where we stood,” he said. He said at one point vehicles driven by security forced some of his supporters to move off the road they were walking on. “Most of these folks were elderly. They would have knocked them over,” Havrilla said.

“They were insistent.”

Boyd said although the village police officers were “courteous and professional” they repeatedly stated that they were told Sillerman owned the land across the street from his property.

The church filed a federal civil rights suit earlier this year, naming among other the village and town police departments and Epley.

It alleges that local police use a double standard when policing

631-287TOTS 631-287-TOTS

demonstrations. Specifically, demonstrators from the church were barred from demonstrating on the steps of Southampton Town Hall even though the town’s PBA held a rally on the steps just weeks earlier.

“This is supposed to be America,” Havrilla said. Bishop has been a frequent target of the group, which has a pro-life stance on abortion and is opposed to gay marriage. Havrilla said his problems with Bishop go beyond political issues.

“We’ve a mission in Haiti for 31 years. These kids have no food,

nothing.” As for Pelosi, the closest the demonstrators came was seeing “two big, black Humvees pull up.”

Boyd said two film crews recorded the entire protest. “They were clever.

The know we have the lawsuit and the cameras.” Nevertheless, the protestors viewed the persistent prodding by the police as “intense,” Boyd said. There was also a black helicopter overhead during the peaceful protest.

“We can’t be pushed around.

That’s the way it should be for all people,” Boyd said.

How Sequestration Sucks: Military Techs Furloughed

By Kitty Merrill

The current policy of indiscriminate, across-the-board federal spending cuts is hurting America’s military, Congressman Tim Bishop said Monday as he stood with military technician members of the 106th Air Rescue Wing who have been forced to take unpaid furloughs as a result of the policy known as sequestration.

In all, 220 “dual-status” military technicians in the civilian workforce at the 106th will be furloughed for a total of 11 days between July 8 and September 30, the end of the federal government’s fiscal year, effectively reducing their pay by 20 percent over that period.

“Dual-status” technicians are members of the Air National Guard and wear the uniform while performing their duties, but are classified as civilians. The furloughs are affecting technicians at all levels of experience: an entry-level technician at the GS-4 Pay Grade of $31,560 annually will lose $1,578 as a result of the furlough and a top supervisor at the GS-14 pay grade of $109,022 annually will lose $5451.

“Many military spouses don’t work full time because a service

member can be deployed overseas for four or five months at a time and they have to take care of their kids basically as a single parent,” said A.J. Wineberger, a “dual-status” helicopter instructor with the 106th who is subject to furlough.

“We all know the cost of living on Long Island and with a 20 percent pay cut people are having a hard time putting food on the table and clothes on their family. That’s a travesty in itself.”

The 106th Rescue Wing deploys worldwide to provide combat search and rescue coverage for U.S. and allied military forces including in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Wing also responds to emergencies and natural disasters in New York at the direction of the governor, and participated in the evacuation of hundreds of residents from flooded areas of Lindenhurst after Superstorm Sandy.

Despite sequestration, the core mission of the 106th will be sustained, but furloughs will directly impact operations and productivity at the Wing, with important upgrades and maintenance to aircraft, vehicles, and computer systems facing delays.

8/

Congressman Tim Bishop with military techs targeted for unpayed furloughs.

“Sequestration is hurting our military readiness, our military families, and the communities that support them and rely on them,” Bishop said. “Congress must reach an agreement to replace this poorly crafted and harmful policy with a balanced approach that reduces long-term deficits while protecting our economy and critical services.”

Statewide, more than 10,000 Department of Defense employees at New York’s military installations are facing furloughs, including approximately 1750 National Guard technicians. The furloughs will cost the state’s economy over $33 million according to analysis from the House Committee on Appropriations.

“As members of the community w h o s u p p o r t t h e 10 6 t h a n d understand how important it is for

our area, we are very concerned about the impact of these furloughs on the men and women of the Wing,” said Michael Jacobs, Chairman of the Friends of the 106th Rescue Wing, a community advocacy group supporting the unit.

Nationally, more than 618,000 Department of Defense employees will be furloughed in this fiscal year at a cost of more than $2 billion to the U.S. economy. Last week, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that if Congress fails to replace the sequester, the American economy will likely lose almost 1 million jobs, and up to 1.6 million jobs, by the end of Fiscal Year 2014.

Congressman Bishop is a cosponsor of bipartisan legislation sponsored by Congressman Steven Continued ON page 38.

Independent Election Coverage

Dems Say Dom Filed A False Report

By Kitty Merrill

In the largest campaign missile launched so far the East Hampton Democratic Committee Monday filed a formal complaint with the New York State Board of Elections alleging Councilman Dominick Stanzione’s reelection committee filed a false campaign finance report.

According to campaign chair Chris Kelley, the committee Friends of Dominick Stanzione reported no activity -- no money coming in or going out -- for the six month period from January 2013 and ending July 11.

But, say the Dems, Stanzione placed ads in local papers during that timeframe. Both the expenditures for the ads and the source of funds to pay for them are required by law to be disclosed in the periodic campaign finance report. Even if the ads were donated, they would have to be reported as contributions in-kind and the donor’s name

disclosed, a release from Kelley states.

The Democratic Campaign Committee’s release notes Stanzione is the treasurer of his own committee, “with responsibility for filing the report and for its contents.” Intentionally filing a false campaign finance report can be prosecuted as a Class E felony.

“I have a new treasurer and she is going to amend the report,” Stanzione said Monday. He said he paid for the ads with a personal check and didn’t put the expenditure through his campaign fund. “I made a personal loan to my campaign to pay for the ads,” he said. An amendment to the report will be made “immediately,” he said.

Applications are now being accepted for East End Hospice's annual volunteer training program to be held for seven sessions starting in October.

Volunteers are asked to donate a few hours as needed to visit patients in their homes, in the hospital or in the nursing home. They may be asked to run errands, provide transportation or provide companionship. Volunteers will be assigned to patient cases in their area and surrounding towns.

Pre-registration is required by Sept 3., please call Volunteer Coordinator Susan DiSario, RN at 288-8400 to schedule an interview.

Director of Stony Brook University Heart Institute. “I was delightfully surprised to find this level of care so close to home.”

Judie had her surgery at Stony Brook University Hospital, followed by a long road to recovery. Drs. Taylor and Brown followed her progress, even after her release to a rehabilitation facility in White Plains, NY. “We wanted it known that great care is nearby, in Suffolk County, so we hosted this party to introduce the leadership of Stony Brook Medicine to our community,” Ackerman said.

“All the staff members who took care of Judie were invited to attend as recognition for a job well done.”

“This experience made me realize the important role Stony Brook Medicine plays for the residents of Eastern Long Island,” Ackerman said.

“Stony Brook is the sole tertiary care center in Suffolk County and offers many advanced services to the region, such as cardiac care, cancer care, neurosurgery and perinatal care.”

“Stony Brook was there for us, and everyone who needs them,” Ackerman said.

Among attendees from Stony Brook were Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., MD; L.

Southampton Makes Efforts For Environment

Independent / Courtesy Southampton Town

Councilman Chris Nuzzi and his son Joseph with volunteer Kerri Tymann at the Pikes Beach bag giveaway.

By Emily Toy

Last week, Southampton Town Councilman Chris Nuzzi proposed a series of alternative energy measures at a town board meeting to encourage homeowners and businesses to pursue the installation of renewable energy systems.

The proposed legislation would revive and expand the town’s solar electric system rebate and incentive program by adding a rebate for geothermal systems, according to a press release from the town. The maximum rebate for solar electric systems would increase from $2500

to $3500, and would allow for a quicker review and waiver of the building permit fee for certain residential subdivision applications.

“We need to go further to incentivize the installation of green technologies,” Nuzzi said.

“The upfront costs of solar energy equipment still remain a costly alternative to fossil fuels, and certain rebates that have made them accessible to consumers over the past several years are slowly drying up.”

The councilman is also trying to get New York State to provide tax relief for those who choose to make an investment in alternative energy technologies. He put forth a bill asking the State Legislature to authorize a property tax reduction for solar and/or geothermal system improvements on both residential and commercial structures.

“Hopefully we’ll soon get to a point where clean, renewable energy systems are a more tangible option for everyone, but in the meantime it’s important that the

Town, and all levels of government, continue to explore ways to incentivize these systems,” Nuzzi said.

In other town board news, local officials stepped up efforts to promote reusable shopping bags instead of single-use plastic bags.

Now with the ability to tout more than a year of success, the town’s “Greener Southampton: the Solution is in the Bag” campaign proved to be a hit with beachgoers at Sagg Main, Pikes and Ponquogue Beaches.

The town’s plastic Bag Education Task Force hosted a reusable bag giveaway at the each of the aforementioned beaches on July 20.

“The day was a great success,” said Councilwoman Christine Scalera, co-liaison to the effort. “We had nearly 500 people sign the pledge, committing to reduce, reuse, and recycle their plastic bags, and bring their own bags when shopping. We’ve had a great response so far and are excited to continue to pursue our goals with the hope of one day eliminating single-use plastic bags from our environment and landfills.”

Earlier in the month, two houses, traced back to the 1700s, were recognized by the Southampton

IN THE NEWS

Landmarks and Historic Districts Board as being historically and architecturally significant, bringing the town’s total number of landmarks to 16.

The Benjamin Foster Homestead in Water Mill and the David Rose and Captain John Rose Residence in North Sea were both given a landmark status.

According to Colonizing Southampton by David Goddard, both the Fosters and the Roses were “important families whose members were constantly in one public office or another.”

The Rose Residence is located at 1679 North Sea Road, where the earliest English settlers arrived in 1640, while the Foster Homestead is on Montauk Highway, across the road from the new Parrish Art Museum.

“Preserving these structures is critical to maintaining the character and heritage of our Town and truly gives us a window into the past that is both educational and extremely interesting,” said Councilwoman Bridget Fleming.

According to Sally Spanburgh, Chair of the Town’s Landmarks and Historic Districts Board, landmark designation often enhances property values, increases the historic integrity of the neighborhood, and promotes its unique architectural character.

A Good Choice

By Kathy Cunningham

Controlling overabundant deer populations in East Hampton is one of the most important quality of life issues currently facing residents and elected officials. Loss of habitat, New York State Department of Environmental Conser vation (DEC) hunting limits, plus a diminishing number of hunters in our community, has led to record numbers of vehicular deer strikes, an unhealthy herd, increased incidences of associated tick borne illnesses, as well as destruction of understory plantings and habitat for other flora and fauna dependent upon those ecosystems to survive.

Lack of policy makes fencing ubiquitous, inhibits vistas and emphasizes yet another level of separation between and among neighbors, while homeowners reluctantly barricade their yards to protect their property.

Deer management programs are controversial and provoke a variety of legitimate perspectives. Wildlife enthusiasts defend the rights of the animals to live and roam freely without constraint. Hunters are frustrated by diminished hunting grounds and DEC constraints on hunting even when permitted.

White-knuckled drivers on constant alert for deer bounding unexpectedly from the roadside and the inevitable strikes have made the motor vehicle this animal’s only

predator. Homeowners are weary of spending time, energy and expense of replanting or protecting their property from the appetites of these beautiful, intelligent, and often unwelcome creatures.

Un f o r t u n a t e l y, t h e s e v e r y legitimate concerns are trumped by the human health crisis uncontrolled deer populations spread. Deer ticks are dependent on these mammals to support their life cycle. Fewer deer mean fewer deer ticks. It’s that simple.

In August 2011, the Village Preservation Society (VPS) conducted its first deer forum, featuring the results of a successful deer sterilization pilot project conducted

by Dr. Paul Curtis and Dr. Jay Boulanger of the Cornell School of Natural Resources.

Last week, the VPS hosted another deer control forum featuring the work of Dr. Tony DeNicola of White Buffalo, Inc. Last fall, he worked with Dr. Curtis and Dr. Boulanger on a successful effort to sterilize a large number of deer in the Village of Cayuga Heights, New York.

That Village has much in common with East Hampton Village, where hunting is very difficult to conduct legally and effectively and is largely unpopular.

Deer live a long time, from 10 to 15 years, and one doe can reproduce between 10 and 30 offspring during her lifetime. Sterilizing one deer diminishes the herd by that factor over time, and allows the doe to live out the rest of its natural life.

The statistics for survival during the procedure and post-surgical prognoses are excellent. Not an easy thing to accomplish in the wild.

Sterilization seems effective and the most humane approach, especially where hunting options are limited or prohibited entirely.

And, in conjunction with a culling program, can bring deer numbers under control.

With diminishing habitat and the increase in tick borne illnesses, the issue remains serious and unsolved.

Hunting cannot keep pace with the birth rate. The current no-action alternative is unacceptable and allows increasing risk for human health.

While a tough and relatively expensive alternative, sterilization seems like a good choice.

Kathy Cunningham is the executive director of the East Hampton Village Preservation Society.

RICK’S SPACE My Texploits Guess a lot of wives are a little uneasy after reading about the exploits of Anthony Weiner, who was having a “Text Affair” with a dozen or so women.

I told Karen she was free to peruse my texts, tweets and emails whenever she liked – after all, I have nothing to hide.

So she did, and that led to this rather testy conversation: “I thought you had nothing to hide?” she said in an accusatory voice.

I reiterated that fact. Then she read verbatim a recent “conversation” via text I had. I have to admit, I felt more than a little guilty.

Me: Hey, what’s up Big Boy? BB: You tell me.

Me: I need a tight end.

BB: You came to the right place.

I have the best tight end.

Me: Cool. What do you want for it?

BB: What do you have?

Me: A couple of wide receivers.

BB: You like three-ways?

Me: Sure. I’m up for anything!

BB: What else you interested in?

Me: I’m looking for a catcher.

BB: Tight end and catcher? That figures.

Me: I have a pitcher available.

BB: This another three-way?

Me: I don’t care. Whatever you want.

BB: Anything I want?

Me: You name it, Big Boy! BB: How about money?

Me: I don’t usually pay. I will trade almost anything, though.

BB: I could use an H-back.

Me: I have mostly smallish backs.

BB: I like ‘em big!

Me: Yeah well, whatever. So let’s do the tight end deal before the weekend is over.

BB: Hey, are you going to be in the fantasy chat room later tonight?

Me: Yeah, after the wife goes to bed.

BB: See you in there. It’s gonna be hot!

Me: You can bet your ass on that! *** Karen, of course, is well versed in my fantasy life. The other day we were riding in my truck. I had

IN THE NEWS

the Sirius Fantasy channel on the radio. Karen heard first-hand how deep the vein is -- this is a true story.

There was a call-in show on and a caller was put on the air. He was whispering.

“I need your advice,” he said to the host of the show.

“Why are you whispering?” the host -- I think it was Dr. Roto -- asked.

“I’m in the chambers of the Justice of the Peace,” the caller said.

Dr. Roto was incredulous. “Dude, what, did you get arrested? You need to call a lawyer, not me!”

“No no,” the caller whispered. ”I’m getting married in seven minutes. I need your help right away.”

“You’re getting married in seven minutes and you’re calling me?

Why?” “My best man just offered me a trade, and we have to get it in before the game tonight.”

Dr. Roto realized the guy was for real. He gave the guy his advice on the trade, and it was consummated minutes later, before the marriage was consummated, I might add.

I’m not sure if the guy got the tight end he wanted that night, but I sure hope so.

EDITORIAL

Tim Bishop’s Problem(s) Sure, we understand how well meaning concerned citizens in these parts would make contributions to Congressman Tim Bishop. After all, he’s always talked the talk environmentalists want to hear: protecting our beaches and our drinking water, keeping our bays clean, assuring the health of our wildlife, etc.

He’s done a great job of hitching his horse to the Thiele, LaValle, Cathy Lester, Schneiderman environmentalist bandwagon.

It must have pained those who made good faith donations to Bishop to find out he was paying his daughter, Molly, a small fortune to raise funds for him – this was not a professional fundraiser with an impressive resume, but a neophyte daddy funneled funds to.

Now we find out Bishop has been forking over campaign funds to lawyers since April trying to short circuit a House of Representatives Ethics Committee probe – and not a word about it to his adoring public.

When Eric Semler, a well-connected hedge fund manager, told Bishop he wanted a Grucci fireworks display from his Sagaponack oceanfront home to celebrate his son’s Bar Mitzvah, he had cache – he did business with Robert X. Sillerman. Sillerman was accused of pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars of soft money into Bishop’s campaigns, and paying the college tuition for Bishop’s daughters. Sillerman, not coincidentally, was running Southampton College while Bishop was giving family members jobs – in some cases over more qualified, and more needy, locals. In fact, Sillerman has been called Bishop’s “rabbi.”

So Bishop’s camp did what it always does when fingers get snapped – his underlings

Independent VOICES

Health Care Costs Dear Editor, Your editorial last week blasting Tim Bishop and Obamacare appears to be just another right wing salvo in an attempt to deny affordable health care to those in need. Your quote about health care costs rising to astronomical levels has been thoroughly debunked by analysts.

A very similar plan, implemented by a Republican governor, has been working quite successfully in Massachusetts since 2006. Everyone should have affordable health care even with preexisting

conditions.

Your editorial completely ignores the fact that all of us are paying dearly for those without insurance coverage since they rely primarily on expensive emergency room care.

We can expect to see more of this misinformation campaign as the date for the new law approaches. The tactics used by some Republican governors and congressmen as well as the right wing media to sabotage the law and hinder implementation are despicable.

Since many right-wingers loathe Obama, I believe they would rather have innocent people suffer just to deny our president a place in history for progressive legislation that should have been law years ago.

ED JABLONSKY Editor’s Note: Health insurance rates in

went about securing the necessary fireworks permits despite the fact that a piping plover nest was yards from Semler’s house.

Of course the Liberal press looked the other way. The East Hampton Star called Bishop’s favor, “routine.” Really? Keep in mind the rest of us can’t even walk near an active plover nest let alone set off a barrage of explosives.

Bishop, ever greedy, wasn’t content to kowtow. He had Molly send Semler an email requesting a $10,000 donation – before he arranged for the necessary permits to be granted. Bishop said it was Semler who asked to make a donation – except Semler denied that, and we have his email complaining Bishop was shaking him down. Those are irrefutable facts.

Of course, a Congressional Ethics probe is a not a judiciary event – it’s a game U.S. Congressmen play to feign outrage over practices most of them engage in. Witness the slap on the wrist to Charles Rangel, who many people think should be in jail.

Bishop says he welcomes the probe — then why didn’t he let his constituents know it was underway? There is not a word about it on his website.

The Ethics Committee may slap him on the wrist or absolve him, but the U.S. Justice Department could well be in the midst of a criminal probe. Regardless, the Semler, Sillerman, Bishop triangle has more mystery to it than the Bermuda Triangle.

Perhaps telling, Bishop attended a fundraiser Saturday, reportedly attended by Nancy Pelosi – to raise more money for his legal team, no doubt. Fittingly, it was at Sillerman’s oceanfront mansion. We can only hope there were no piping plovers nearby – the stench of this sordid affair would be enough to cause serious damage to their delicate nervous systems.

New York State have gone up every year for well over a decade. This is an indisputable fact and the figures are available from the State for your scrutiny. The only experts who say otherwise are the one’s in Tim Bishop’s head.

Something To Celebrate Letter to the Editor, East Hampton just celebrated the 117th LVIS Fair and it was a huge success.

My thanks go out to all of our Lions Club members who spent their time and effort in support of the Club and the LVIS, “shucking” the delicious local clams for Fairgoers to enjoy.

Since this was my 20th year on clam duty, I know there is never a shortage of Club members who support this effort and I extend my personal gratitude to them all.

See you at the 118th next year!

changing perception, facilitating barrierfree compliance and spreading accessible facilities throughout Long Island and other areas. She worked with malls, universities, libraries, municipalities, hospitals, retail and fast food chains, schools, small business, medical offices, corporate executives and legislators. She had a Variety Show for access, attended by 800 people.

In 1996 she chose to help the Village of Southampton. She wanted disabled individuals in Southampton to enjoy some of the same independence she had given others.

For the next 15 years Wendy worked side by side with Douglas Murtha.

She designed and implemented the Village of Southampton Access for the Disabled Program and led the Village of Southampton Committee on Access and Disability.

She made the Village of Southampton the first accessible Village on the East End. She worked on Village Hall, the Police Department, Rogers Memorial Library, the Veterans Hall, the Cultural Center, Southampton Hospital, Agawam Park, handicapped parking, curb cuts, walkways, traffic lights, ramps, beaches, telephones and rest rooms.

During Hurricane Sandy, Wendy’s house in Seaford was severely damaged by a sewage surge that destroyed her furniture, belongings and medical equipment. Her Flood coverage was only $14,000. FEMA only gave her $5,494.35 for home repairs, estimated at $100,000.

Wendy has over the years, unnoticed, made amazing changes that have impacted the lives of thousands of disabled people every year, with no thought of personal gain.

As a matter of fact, throughout her advocacy, she has paid for all office and printing supplies, postage, gas, and repairs to her car and wheelchairs, herself. Some people say she is the most selfless person they know, others say she must be crazy.

But everyone agrees, she has left a wake of change and good deeds unchallenged.

Please find a way to help Wendy, who has never hesitated for a second to help another, to restore her house and go home!

Weiner. Stay in the race or drop out?

Bob Gordon He should pack up his toys and go home. He needs to grow up. He also needs to learn to treat the opposite sex with basic respect. I have no ax to grind. I’m not Republican. I’m not Democrat. He was given a second chance by the public and he threw it away.

Lacee Lazoff I find it suprising he’s second in the polls and there are candidates behind him in the public eye and people support him. I do question his integrity. All I can think of is Jimmy Fallon on “Saturday Night Live.” He’s done multiple hilarious skits about the situation.

Robert Barber I think with the most recent events, his campaign manager has resigned and other politicians and public figures asking him to kindly step down, I think that would be the best thing for him to do at the present time. I don’t believe at this moment that he could win.

Ira Jaffe I think he should step out of the race. It’s not becoming for a man of his kind of character to run the city of New York. And all this attention that he’s bringing to the race is just the wrong kind of attention.

Letters & Obit Policy

The Independent publishes all letters to the editor we receive provided they are not libelous and emailed to news@indyeastend.com. We strive to print all obituaries as well but in the event we can’t, they will be published online at www.indyeastend.com. Please try to keep copy under 500 words.

and this time the “fatal flaw” comes out of Richard Krause, who by the way, lives on Shelter Island, and has no say in what goes on here. As usual, the cries of “Fire In A Crowded Theater,” blathers from one of the pilots.

As a former member of noise abatement committee since the Lester Administration that was unceremoniously disbanded by Emperor William, because the pilots objected to the hard work and comprehensive plan submitted to the town, that was a “mutual ground” effort, they didn’t like. Of course, campaign donations had nothing to do with it. We were informed by a newspaper article, so I guess that’s the way they did it in the “Magic Kingdom” whence he came.

Ironically, in all the years, I never heard one member ever mention any comment about closing the airport. It is only the pilots that spew this scare tactic, that their playground could be altered.

Krause mentions long ago facilities, that were closed, well guess what - they

were closed due to endangerment of residents, whose safety, far outweighed the few. Those areas became populated just like it is here. Things change and we all adapt, (except pilots) traffic lights now in place at intersections, speed limits posted.

So far, we have not had a major disaster related to the airport. Hopefully, never in our lifetime. All anyone, residents and those on committees, ever asked was that the pilots use good judgment and be good neighbors.

Of course they still adhere to dangerous practice. Low altitude flights, before dawn take offs, repetitious patterns, while practicing “touch and gos.” Never once having the smarts to vary the pattern, DUH! What does that say about them? The airport is owned by the town and “we” are the town. Certainly, not those of you who do not even live here. So the headcount diminishes greatly and “we” have the little tail, try to wag the dog? The majority has the right to peace and safety.

ARTHUR J FRENCH

I Liked Ike Dear Rick, What with today’s political morass I thought back to my introduction to voting and political parties. Back in the early 50s there was a “Conflict” involving Korea. It was labeled such but it was no different than all the following unprecipitated “Conflicts” called wars, the last real

conscionable one being WWII. Back then young people were not as politi-savy as they are today, at least not in my Lower East Side (since gentrified to East Village). I questioned Democratic President Truman’s wisdom concerning the atom bombings in Japan and it was upsetting.

Although I admired FDR, I decided that I would always be an Independent voter.

But then I heard this introspective proclamation which embodied the very essence of America’s greatness.

Corny no doubt, but it was as though the Statue of Liberty could talk. It stated: “Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man and they are stupid.”

That was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Watta guy. I thought to myself at the time, “his party is my party.” Ah, but that was then, a long, long time ago, and this is now and the party’s over. It seems as though that “splinter” he mentioned has festered and has sadly infected the once

Real Estate Market Heating Up

By Rick Murphy

An analysis of second quarter sales figures indicates the real estate market is recovering nicely, regionally and here on the East End. According to the Elliman report, sales are up, inventory is falling, and median sale prices are rising.

In the Hamptons, for example, median sales increased 8.2 percent over the second quarter of 2012 and now sits at $920,000, the second highest price posted in the past five years. Listing inventory decreased 12.5 percent, a key indicator that the glut of properties on the market is beginning to erode. Properties for sale were on the market an average of 183 days, a decrease of 5.2 percent.

The only statistic that might be deemed negative was a drop in sales of properties in the $5 million and upward price range, but Elliman believes a rash of sell-offs

at the end of 2012 (to avoid paying capital gains taxes that were slated to increase in January) probably skewed the numbers.

The North Fork had similar, if less dramatic, good news. The Median Price of $459,750 represents a 10.8 percent increase over last year.

On Long Island the second quarter saw inventory fall sharply as closed sales and pending sales jumped.

Median sales price edged up 1.4 percent to $355,000 and more important, the number of sales

increased 15.3 percent from the second quarter in 2012 to 5281.

The Elliman report noted “tight credit continued to keep inventory off market.” However “concern about rising mortgage rates pushed more buyers into the market.”

“Long Island is hot, with home sales surging,” said Dottie Herman, President and CEO of Douglas Elliman, New York’s largest residential brokerage. The region saw its fastest sales pace since 2005, with pending sales jumping, prices rising and a falling inventory.

“From a big picture perspective, Long Island has emerged with great sales and rising prices in most of the communities,” Herman said.

“The Hamptons were also extremely strong, with the highest number sales since 2006,” said Jonathan Miller, President and CEO of Miller Samuel and the author of the report. “Now we are finally seeing the middle of the market show some strength. What we saw this past quarter was that the $1 million to $5 million homes took off in a big, big way.”

The kids enjoy field trips, too . . . but we’re not talking dry museum outings. They visited the East Hampton Farmer’s Market and discussed bringing produce to market with the farmers. A trip to the town shellfish hatchery was part of a unit on local seafood that included special guest East Hampton Town Trustee Stephanie Talmage, who set up a mock clamming tableau so kids could test their skills with a clamrake.

Geography mixed with economics on Friday, Martha Stotzky, director of i-Grow and Springs Seedlings explained. “Today we mapped the journey of a banana.” Students are fascinated to learn where food comes from and were astonished to find out that it isn’t the grower who makes the most money from bananas, it’s Chiquita. “We discuss food access and equity in the food production system,” Stotzky reported.

Each Spring, Bryden said, the team plans out what they’ll plant with an eye towards what can be turned into a healthy lunch. Looking over the bounty, as kids began serving up lunch to classmates, he exclaimed, “This is still amazing to me.”

“Lots of the kids do eat things they’ve never had before,” Friscia acknowledged. Some of the campers are reluctant to try new foods, but most are enthusiastic about new tastes. “They do love the cooking,” she said. “It’s exciting for them.”

They’re pretty fond of the gardening, too. A contingent of kids led a lively tour of the plot, posing for a photo among the raised beds and burgeoning bushes. “This is purslane, you think it’s a weed, but it’s the healthiest thing on earth,” said one guide as he plucked a tiny plant and popped a tender leaf in his mouth. Eight year old Kevin Sumba laughed as he found a purple carrot and listed plants he could readily identify “Blackberries, beans, lettuce.

Today we picked carrots . . . and we have sunflowers, too!”

Kenverly Munoz is going into seventh grade this fall. She’s been an i-Grow student every year for the past three, since the program started.

In addition to offering enrichment to local children, Project MOST, the afterschool enrichment program, also provides jobs for area high school students. Emily Schutz, a junior at East Hampton High School, supervised the busy kids on Friday.

Because the program is open to children at both Springs School and the East Hampton School District, it gives children from the two districts a chance to interact. And, tonight parents and families can join the fun, at an open house that includes a potluck dinner and garden tour.

Elected officials, including Bishop, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, and Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand fought the closure. The FAA ultimately acknowledged the 106th Air Rescue Wing’s homeland security mission and deemed keeping it operational “in the national interest.”

Continued from page 8. “the business relationship between Bob Sillerman and Eric Semler has been disclosed and was reported in various news outlets last year.” His response was to question asking if Bishop knew of the relationship at the time he did the favor for Semler.

The link between Semler and Sillerman would come into play, for example, if Semler referenced Sillerman when asking for Congressman’s Bishop’s help. Then, Molly Bishop’s email to Semler could indicate quid pro quo existed – that Semler made a contribution in exchange for a favor. If that scenario were true, Bishop would be subject to criminal charges.

Sillerman is considered Bishop’s “Rabbi” in Washington D.C., one insider said. In fact, Bishop ran into some criticism during his first run for Congress in 2002 when it was revealed that Sillerman had paid the college tuition for both the congressman’s daughters. The House Ethics Committee vetted the matter and Bishop was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Sillerman was accused of funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars of soft money into Bishop campaigns. Sillerman was also chancellor at Southampton College when Bishop was provost – Bishop acknowledged he put nine family members on the payroll during his stint there.

Diana Weir, the campaign manager for Altschuler, said only, “let the process take its due course” when reached Monday. The Ethics Committee said it would release the results of its investigation about Bishop on September 11. However, the committee lacks the bite to punish Bishop beyond a reprimand even if it finds wrongdoing occurred.

However, it is also possible the Department Of Justice is looking

into the matter: the DOJ does not comment on ongoing investigations.

When the story broke Sillerman’s office requested we submit questions via email but he did not respond by deadline.

Bishop attended a fundraiser at Sillerman’s oceanfront mansion in Southampton that was attended by Nancy Pelosi.

“Bob Sillerman has hosted the same event for Congressman Bishop each summer for the past 11 years with the exception of 2009,” Longwell said. “Nancy Pelosi has traveled to the District five times since Congressman Bishop was elected to support him. The timing this year was simply coincidental.”

It was reported Bishop has known about the OCE probe since April and has already spent $35,000 of campaign funds on lawyers.

“The payments to the counsel

Congressman Bishop has retained to assist him are public knowledge and disclosed in his two most recent filings with the Federal Elections Commission,” Longwell

said.

The OCE announcement said its latest action “does not in itself indicate that any violation has occurred.”

Off The Hook Plenty of Fish

Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean The fluke bite continues to be the focus in the bay. The turn of the tides both east and west of the bridge have been producing plenty of fish.

Ratio is about one keeper to every 10. Quite a few fish over the 23-inch mark have been reported. The smelt/ squid combo is working well along the gulp and large strip baits.

The skinny water in the back of the inlet and over to the west of the bridge are holding some nice fish, too. The ocean fluke bite is not what it should be but we are now hearing of fish shallower in 30 feet east of the inlet.

The bass bite is still off as it usually is this time of year but there was a little resurgence with the colder air temps and rain earlier in the week.

Clam chumming at the bridge or inlet still a good option if you’re looking for some action. Plenty of blues in the bay and outside the inlet attacking fluke baits.

Peconics Jessups Neck holding a decent amount of porgies for the those looking to anchor up and chum.

Shore Bound/Canal/Ocean Beaches/Jetties The Shinnecock Canal has the snappers falling for small baits on smaller hooks. They are still a bit small but make great fluke baits.

The porgies have been making a showing down at the north end of the canal and are taking sandworms.

The Ponquogue Bridge has been having a decent bite on the fluke with a good mix of keepers hanging around the structure.

The night tides at the bridge are still producing quite a few bass.

Over at the Shinnecock Inlet the fluke have been cooperating on the turn of the tides along with a few bass in the early mornings on clam and some triggerfish on clams during the day.

The ocean beaches have seen a few schoolie sized bass falling for bucktails and diamond jigs during the early mornings and evenings.

The cold spell during the week produced some 30 inch fish for the table. Most fish are coughing up sand eels.

Offshore The bluefin bite continues at the Coimbra but has slowed from what it was. The trolling bite is very early in the AM and the jigs and chunks are still working during the day, just not with as much action. Boat traffic could have a lot to do with the slow down.

Sharking is still good with plenty of browns, blues, makos, hammerheads and even a tiger rounding out the week’s reports.

Most sharks are being taken in 150feet of water or better working the normal finger areas.

Sharks Named Princess, April, Resilient And The Beamer

Independent / Courtesy MMB

Crew aboard the chase boat tags a shark during Shark’s Eye, the first tag and release tournament in Montauk, hosted by the Montauk Marine Basin.

By Kitty Merrill

It was fantastic, Carl Darenberg, Montauk Marin Basin’s patriarch enthused. Last weekend MMB hosted the historic Shark’s Eye catch and release tournament, the first of its kind in Montauk.

Nine boats participated and tagged over 60 fish. Four sharks were fitted with special satellite tags that allow people to track them via the OCEARCH website.

Participants were awarded points for fish they tagged, and winners were given the chance to name the four satellite-tagged sharks.

Richie Nessel was the overall winner, racking up 37 points with nine blue sharks and seven makos NOT brought on board. He named his tagged fish “Princess.”

A second shark, tagged by the crew of the Free Nicky was named for April Gornik, an artist who helped organize the tourney, along with the Concerned Citizens of Montauk. The crew of the Fin Seeker named their released catch Resilient, and the BluefinV, christened a blue shark with a moniker chosen

by sixth graders at Montauk Public School – The Beamer.

Educational forums and a film fest at the marine basin drew “a great crowd,” Darenberg reported.

The boat My Joyce hosted wounded warriors for the tournament. Dave Bofill offered a brand new boat that served as the “chase” vessel.

Other tournament winners include Rocky’s Retreat in second place with 30 points, Reel Intensity in third (27 points). The Redhead and My Joyce came in fourth and fifth place.

The event was such a success, Darenberg said he is already getting calls from people who want to help out and be involved next year.

“People are already offering me money for next year,” he said.

The two-day tourney has also captured national attention with news crews from both CBS and NBC following the action. CBS coverage was slated to appear Monday night and a segment on “Today” may be in the offing for later in the week. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

www.indyeastend.com

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

Hard Aground! Now What?

When I teach seamanship courses to private boaters on the South Shore, I note that, if you boat in our local waters and have never run aground, you’re lying.

Even USCG regulars have been known to “touch bottom” at times in these waters.

So, the issue is not if you run aground but what you do afterwards.

What Do You Do First?

There are a couple of things to do right away. First, determine if the grounding has caused a leak.

Even sand, if you hit it hard enough, will stove in a hull (or a throughhull fitting or a drive shaft fitting through a stuffing box).

While the water obviously isn’t very deep right where you are, if your hull starts to fill with water, she may slide into deeper water and problems will start to escalate. At roughly the same time, get everyone into life jackets. You’re the skipper and responsible for the safety of everyone on that vessel.

Secondly, check your tide charts and determine if time is an ally or an enemy, i.e., if the tide is rising (the rising tide lifts all boats, said John Kennedy) or falling. If it is falling, time is working against you.

Now What?

At this point, you know if the

boat has sprung a leak (if so, get right on VHF-16 and hail the USCG; get the “rescue starts now” clock ticking ASAP); you have everyone in life jackets, and you know if you will be helped by time or not.

This should have taken you less than one minute. If the hull isn’t leaking, try backing away the way you came in. Increase throttle moderately and keep turning the wheel back and forth, port to starboard and back again.

Why? Well, to some degree, it’s like rocking a car in the snow.

Sand and boats can get into a very powerful embrace caused by the suction of the wet sand and a smooth surface of a boat’s hull.

But, second and perhaps more important, you are sending sand from the stern directly forward – increasing the “hump” that you have to float over.

By turning the wheel, you’ll break the suction and spread the sand around. Be conscious of what is behind you because, if you suddenly break free, you don’t want to go flying into a busy seaway.

Assuming this is working, it is quite possible that you will find yourself making more progress when the wheel is to one side or the other. Once you see the stern

making more way down one exit path than the other, make that your new centering path. In short, don’t waste time and fuel trying to back down a path that isn’t getting you anywhere – but don’t fail to sway the helm back and forth down your new exit path or you may fill it with sand and ruin your escape. Most times, this will get you out.

I’m Free – Or Am I? If it does, unless you got out pretty quickly and easily, I would head for the marina and get a hose on that engine and start to wash out the sand. I’d also have somebody look at the running gear.

A small nick in a prop can do a lot of damage to an engine’s “innards” because the running gear is no longer balanced.

At a minimum, get the boat somewhere where you can get a water hose on the engine and flush it – with the engine OFF. If there is sand in there, don’t grind it out of your engine. Wash it out.

What if you are at this for a few minutes and nothing is happening?

Well, if the tide is against you, and you have towing insurance, call for help. Any more time wasted and you might be spending the night. The commercial towers are well equipped and largely well trained. (You DON’T have towing

July 31, 2013

insurance? Think again, bunky . . . It is the cheapest insurance that you will use.) Get familiar with the differences between “salvage” and a simple tow, especially if you don’t have contracted commercial insurance. Maritime law is complex.

What if the tide is with you? You can still call for help, but you also have an opportunity to engage in some seamanship that might hold you in good stead sometime in the future when you have more difficult circumstances in hand.

How about putting an anchor out towards the deeper water and “kedging,” i.e., pulling yourself along it from the bow? You are introducing a new angle of pressure and that might pull you free or at least loosen the bottom-suction. At a minimum, as the tide rises, it will keep you from being blown higher on to the beach by the wind. If your boat is big enough to have a tender (dinghy), get it to work pushing the boat.

Think like what you are -- a sea captain.

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 . . .”

The Bats Of Eastern Long Island

By Peter Polshek

Some evening this summer or early fall look up at a streetlamp or stand by a pond at dusk. You will see bats — swooping around the lamp, capturing moths and beetles attracted to the light along the darkened road or flitting above the surface of the water feeding.

If you frequent the beaches of the area on a fall day you may observe them migrating, as birds do.

Surprisingly, you may encounter a

bat during an unseasonably warm winter day. You may even be lucky enough to be hosting a colony of bats in your attic, shed or barn.

Bats are very important members of our wildlife community. On Long Island, as in most of the United States, bats depend on insects.

Elsewhere insectivorous bats are joined by fruit and nectar-feeding bats as well as those that feed on small vertebrates, from fish to frogs. Nor should we forget those

fascinating species that thrive on blood, the source of so many mistaken beliefs.

In fact, 70 percent of all bat species is insectivorous. During one night, a breeding female bat can consume her body weight in flying insects. Healthy populations of bats contribute to the control of a wide range of agricultural and forest insect pests.

Most people’s experiences with bats on eastern Long Island are limited to the occasional alarming discovery of one that has become trapped within a room in a home.

The easiest solution is to open a door or a window. Give the bat time to find the opening and it will escape.

The widely held misconceptions regarding bats as irritating pests and threats to human health have been slowly eroded by the efforts of teachers, naturalists

and conservation organizations.

However, popular concerns about rabies and bats remain.

The United States is home to forty-seven species of bats in four groupings or families. Long Island hosts seven of these all in one family, the Vespertillionidae.

A watchful amateur naturalist on eastern Long Island will likely encounter four species in a year.

Since the 1970s, little research has been done on Long Island’s bat fauna. Fortunately, surveys were conducted in 2004 and 2005 in western Suffolk County in order to determine the current status of bats in the area. Results, so far, have confirmed the continued presence of five of the seven species.

A recent concern is the appearance of White Nose Syndrome (WNS) among populations of cave and mine hibernating bat species.

WNS is a fungal disease that results in the death of hibernating bats.

How this affects those species of Long Island bats is as yet unknown.

The following is a list of the bats known to have occurred on Long Island: Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus), formerly known as Little Brown Bat. Northern Myotis (Myotis septentrionalis), formerly known as Keen’s Myotis.

Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus), the largest bat likely to be encountered during any month of the year.

Tri-colored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus), formerly known as Eastern Pipistrelle. The smallest species in the area is considered an uncommon summer resident.

Red Bat (Lasiurus borealis).

This bat is the most likely to be encountered migrating during the day along the coast in the late summer and fall.

Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus), one of the largest and most distinctive bats with its white-tipped thick fur.

Silver-haired Bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans). Another distinctive bat, this species is considered uncommon both in late summer/ fall and winter.

Please visit the South Fork Natural History Museum (SoFo) located at 377 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton or call the museum at 631-5379735 to learn more about these fascinating animals.

Whalers Take Regular Season Title

By Rick Murphy

It couldn’t have been any closer.

The race for the regular season Hamptons Collegiate baseball league title came down to the last day, and ended with two teams with identical records. But it’s the Sag Harbor Whalers who get bragging rights and the home field advantage in the playoffs.

Sag Harbor edged Westhampton 4-2 on Saturday, finishing the season with a 24-16 mark. It was the first regular-season title for the Whalers, who did represent the Kaiser Division in the 2008 ACBL title game but only after upsetting the top seeded Metro Cadets.

The victory, on the loser’s field, was marked by strong pitching, tight fielding, and timely hitting, earmarks of the Whalers’ season.

Reed Bastie, who took the hill for the critical game, earned the win, going six strong innings, yielding five hits and two earned runs. The victory ran his record to 3-2 for the season.

The Whalers went to the pen, using Keenan Kolinsky, Dan Wertz, and Jacob Bodner, who registered his league-record 14th save with a 1-23 ninth.

It was a busy day for the winners, who traveled to Cochran Park in Peconic to play the North Fork Ospreys that same night. North Fork, which needed the victory to take the Number Three seed in this week’s playoffs, triumphed on a squeeze bunt by Eric Solberg in the bottom of the ninth inning.

With the Aviators’ win in their own nightcap against Riverhead, both Westhampton and Sag Harbor finished with 24 victories, but the Whalers won the season series 4-3 thanks to the afternoon win.

Top-seeded Sag Harbor (24-16) was to face Number Four Center Moriches (21-19) in a best-of-three semifinal series that was scheduled for Monday. In the other semifinal, Westhampton (24-16) and North Fork (22-18) were to begin their series the same day.

The semifinal victors will meet in the best-of-three championship series slated to begin on Friday.

Riverhead (18-22), Shelter Island (17-23), and Southampton (14-26) failed to make the playoffs this season.

NY Baseball Future Is Brighter In Queens As I looked at the MLB standings Sunday night, the Yankees were 5 games over .500, just 2 and 1/2 games out of a Wild Card spot.

Meantime, the Mets were 10 games under .500 and 11 and 1/2 games out of the Wild Card. Despite what the numbers say, the brighter baseball future resides in Flushing, Queens.

When it comes to playoff baseball, frankly, neither team has a chance to make any noise in October.

Yankees fans may be hanging on to being only 2 1/2 games back, but despite that number, to me it feels like the Yankees are already mathematically eliminated.

As of Sunday, they trailed the Red Sox by 7 and 1/2 games and were in fourth place in the AL East. The Mets are also in fourth place, and even the most delusional fan admits this season probably won’t produce a run reminiscent of 1973.

Once again, the American League

W

East has proven itself to be the strongest division in baseball.

The Red Sox, expected to be in rebuilding mode, are well ahead of schedule with the best winning percentage in the league. The Orioles and Rays are built around young, talented, homegrown players who the Yankees will be battling with for years to come.

Meantime, the Yankees bats have been incredibly quiet, scoring two runs or less in 6 of their first 10 games since the All-Star break.

And while pitching is supposed to be their strength, the future is questionable. At 38-years old, Hiroki Kuroda has been their ace, while C.C. Sabathia and Andy Pettitte have been shells of their former selves.

Phil Hughes has struggled and will likely leave in free agency for a more fly ball friendly ballpark.

As a team the Yankees are old and for the most part, boring. In the

past, they could make a quick fix in the offseason by signing the biggest and best free agents. But that strategy to earning championships is fast becoming extinct.

Many of the best young players are locking into long-term contracts with their original teams, sacrificing salary for stability. Granted, in recent years the Yankees have put more of a premium on developing their minor league system, but it’s still far behind the Rays and Red Sox, both considered top-5 in the game.

As for the Mets, it’s been a long, slow, painful process, but it finally appears to be paying off. Of course everyone’s aware of Matt Harvey, but Zack Wheeler continues to adjust to the majors, and there’s a well-documented wealth of pitching talent quickly developing in the minors. Offensively, the Mets are still trying to figure out what they have for the future.

Is Ike Davis the 30-home run hitter of 2012, or the six-homer player of this season? Will Juan Lagares improve his offensive game to mirror the ability he has patrolling center field? Can catcher Travis D’Arnaud live up to the hype, or will he continue to be hampered by injuries?

While the Mets aren’t there yet, there is a vision and a base being

built by Sandy Alderson and Co. The Yankees are visionless. Over the weekend, it was reported that owner Hal Steinbrenner ordered GM Brian Cashman to finalize the Alfonso Soriano trade. Cashman reportedly didn’t want to give up single-A arm Corey Black. No, he’s not projected to be Matt Harvey, but Cashman understands the value, especially in baseball’s current landscape, of building an organization top to bottom.

Apparently, the Steinbrenners don’t.

The Alfonso Soriano trade defined everything wrong with the present Yankees: dazed, confused, and still looking to win NOW. While Soriano is better than what the Yankees have in left field, he isn’t part of a blueprint to make this team a contender year-in, year-out.

He’s an aging player who’s past his prime.

While the Yankees will still likely end the season with a better record than their crosstown rivals, the buzz is quickly moving down the Harlem River toward Flushing Bay.

The Impact Rookies: Get To Know Them

The single most perplexing problem on Fantasy Football draft day is where to slot rookies. Yes it is essential to study the incoming players, analyze what teams they are on, and assess the needs of those teams. Getting it right might be the difference between winning and losing.

Consider Doug Martin of Tampa Bay, a rookie in 2012 and now a top five back in 2013. If you had the foresight to draft him last year, you got an impact running back on the cheap.

It is important to differentiate between the NFL and Fantasy. In the NFL draft, particularly the first round, teams tend to take players with exceptional physical attributes.

Yes, they draft according to need, but trust me, no team passes up on a 350-pound lineman with 4.6 40-yard dash speed.

At the skills positions, players are ranked according to their physical skills: their times in the 40-yard

What Can

dash, their leaping ability, their body measurements, etc. But some of these players are “projects” – they are getting drafted early, but the team taking them realizes they need a year or two training and seasoning. In Fantasy, we need immediate production.

Let’s take a look at the class of 2013: Le’Veon Bell wasn’t taken in the first round, and he wasn’t the top-rated running back, but we forecast he will be the most impactful rookie player of the draft.

Why? Two reasons: One, Pittsburgh reached up in the second round to take Bell, and he figured to last into the later rounds.

More important, the Steelers running game was in shambles last season, and their top back, Rashard Mendenhall, is in Arizona now. Couple that with the fact that the Steelers have always preferred a grind-down running game and it stands to reason they grabbed Bell to make him their featured back.

Target him in the fifth round.

Montee Ball is in a similar spot. Denver drafted him, then surprisingly cut Willis McGahee, its starting back in 2012. Yes, Denver has other options, and in the end whoever protects Peyton Manning the best is going to be on the field, but we project Ball to get the bulk of carries.

Eddie Lacy was the top ranked college back going into the draft, and when Green Bay selected him, we all naturally figured he would take over as the starter – until they drafted Jonathan Franklin, another talented runner. You have to figure they will both play a lot.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a talented team and a boring running back – the Law Firm, Ben Ellis Green Jarvis. The Bengals didn’t draft Giovani Bernard to sit around – they are going to give the kid the ball. Grab him if he’s still available in the middle of your draft.

There are three wide receivers to target: the Rams took Tavon Austin with the eighth overall pick, much earlier than anyone anticipated.

Furthermore, the Rams traded two top picks to move up and grab him. Obviously, they consider him an impact player, and so should Fantasy players. He’s worth a seven round pick in your draft.

DeAndre Hopkins landed in

Houston, which hasn’t had a decent “two” back in a decade. With Andre Johnson getting older, Hopkins should get plenty of action.

Aaron Dobson is in New England, and Tom Brady is missing his favorite target, Wesley Welker, as well as Brandon Lloyd. Also gone is Aaron Hernandez, whose next appearance on a football field will be in a remake of a remake, The Longest Yard. Even Danny Woodhead is gone. Hell, Tom can’t throw all his passes at Giselle – if Hopkins can learn Bill Belichick’s system, he’ll slot into the rotation.
