One Hundred Years Of Coffee, Community, And Heroism

By Kitty Merrill

For decades volunteers have met for morning coffee on the porch at the Amagansett Firehouse, discussing the weather, the latest news and FD happenings. This week their focus is on AFD’s Centennial Celebration.

Independent / Kitty Merrill

They talk about the weather, local and national news, hunting, fishing, and, of course, firehouse h a p p e n i n g s . Fo r d e c a d e s , a contingent of old and not so old timers has gathered on the porch at the Amagansett Firehouse every morning for cups of AFD’s special brew.

“The kingpin has arrived,” Dave DiSunno, a 50-year AFD member and former chief quipped one morning last week as his cousin John DiSunno (53 years with AFD) arrived. “He predicts the weather . . . he’s never right.”

The group on this particular morning is comprised of the two DiSunno cousins, retired volunteer Lester Ross, Tom Field (25 years in the paramedic program), Steve Graboski (17 years), former chief Dan Shields (36 years), “newbie” Michael Cinque (28 years) and Joe LaCarrubba, a former chief and the longest serving member of the department with 62 years.

In days gone by a deliveryman brought members of the coffee klatch newspapers every morning.

“That’s when we were in front,“ Dave DiSunno explained. Over the years the firehouse has undergone

several expansions and renovations.

The morning group used to hang out in front of the facility; now they gather on the back porch.

Changes in the community and firefighting over the years was one topic on the morning’s agenda. More and more, area fire departments are suffering a lack of volunteers and Amagansett is no exception. The department has hired one first responder for full time coverage so far.

Years ago, it was easier for people to volunteer, since many men worked locally and were selfemployed, which allowed them

the time and flexibility to leave their jobs for calls and training.

Nowadays most families need both parents to work, and many young people have to work more than one job to stay afloat, leaving few available to volunteer.

Buildings are made from different materials than long ago and burn more toxically, Graboski pointed out. On the upside, thanks to awareness programs and such advances as smoke detectors, there are fewer significant fires than years ago.

When he first started with the FD, the corps was comprised of volunteers from well-known local families – the Bennetts, Lesters, Millers, DiSunnos, LaCarrubba recalled. (The current roster boasts nine Bennetts, five DiSunnos, and just one Lester.)

Beyond its value protecting the community, AFD also served a social purpose, with its annual clambakes, then chicken barbecues, wildly popular summer events among locals. Its first dinner dance in 1914 was heralded as the biggest such event ever held in Amagansett.

Back in the day, it seemed like everyone knew everybody else in the close-knit village. Now, LaCarrubba said, “I walk down the street and I hardly know anybody.”

Cinque’s favorite moment during the morning gatherings occurs when the old timers launch into tales of past characters and past fires.

Since its inception, the Amagansett Fire Department has never lost anyone in a fire. A house fire on Barnes Hole Road almost broke that record, but for the quick action of firefighters who found a woman unconscious in a home, just minutes before a flashover.

Volunteers gave assistance during the Sunrise Wildfires in 1995 and the Ridge Wildfires in 2012 and have a history of providing mutual aid to area departments.

Drills at the Amagansett School

in 1974, at the time the largest structure in the district, soon paid off. A year later fire engulfed the school gym. Dave DiSunno was one of the assistant chiefs to lead the drill, which ultimately saved the school that he and most of the members of AFD at the time had attended.

Harrowing tales of rescues and battling blazes may be one topic shared by the men sipping coffee on the porch. For Cinque, humorous stories of past escapades and local characters delight.

“Everybody had a nickname,” he said, referencing silly monikers the guys would bestow upon compatriots.

Any nicknames now?

“I don’t know if you want to go there,” Field intoned.

“There’d be one letter in front and one letter in back and a bunch of asterisks,” joked Graboski.

Whatever name they go by, this week the men, along with all the members of the Amagansett Fire Department and the entire community, have good reason to tell the old tales and focus on history.

On Saturday AFD turns 100 years old. Volunteers have been putting the centennial celebration together for several years.

It will include a parade that steps off from Brent’s on Montauk Highway at the western end of Amagansett at 11 AM and travels to the firehouse. At noon, awards will be presented, with an afternoon of children’s games, music, antique fire vehicles and demonstrations to follow. A journal detailing a comprehensive history of the department will be available at the firehouse. Visit the archive section of The Independent’s website to see a feature about the journal from our July 2 edition.

AFD’s longest–serving member LaCarrubba will lead the parade as Grand Marshal. On Saturday when he walks down Main Street, he may not know everyone’s name, but they’re sure to know his.

PRESIDENT DE BLASIO Now don’t you start snickering.

I am doing this column for all my good Democrat friends and none of you War-on-Poor-People, Waron-Women Republican fiends need continue to read this.

Are those war-loving Republican monsters, gone? Good.

That leaves all my wonderful Democrat friends here to share in my message of hope and a thought about a continuation of Barack Obama’s dream until 2024 and beyond.

Here’s what I’ve learned about my Democrat friends while enjoying some wonderful dinners over the last three weeks in the Hamptons.

After millions of words, hundreds of opinions, I’m still not sure what you think about the six years of the Obama presidency. I guess you haven’t seen enough to form an opinion.

Actually I’ve learned how to elicit a Pavlovian response from my good Democrat friends. I say the word “Obama” in the sweetest, most innocent way and they immediately counter with the words “Dick Cheney” in the most aggressive, teeth-baring, snarling way.

So I’ve reached the conclusion that no matter what has happened in the last six years, my Democrat friends are happy with Obama and

would, if they could, vote him into office today over Mitt Romney, who we all know is a fiend who once traveled with his dog on the roof of his car, which should forfeit any chance of his holding political office.

Which brings us to 2016.

My incredibly intelligent Democrat/Liberal friends will have come to grips with the fact that Hillary Clinton, whom they deserted for Obama in 2008, is now the best chance they have for another Democratic presidency.

She will (like a spurned exgirlfriend whom one calls in the middle of a drunken, desperate night when one is alone) elicit some gift (political donation dollars?) from those who loved and left her in 2008 and they will pay well for their “perfidy” of faithlessness, treachery and betrayal.

But what about Hillary’s health?

What about her flop book? What about the stories that Obama will try to torpedo her because he hates the Clintons? What if Hillary decides not to run?

Who are you Democrats going to vote for then – Andrew Cuomo? His dark act won’t play well out of town.

He has a five o’clock shadow and the surly darkness of Richard Nixon, and you know what happened when

he was in office.

And so, my Democrat friends, may I suggest Bill de Blasio? He is everything that Barack Obama is, in spades.

Bill de Blasio ran for mayor against the one percent in New York City who have great wealth.

He wants to give the money to the poor. Like Obama, he wants income equality. I’m sure many of the wealthy Democrats I spoke to in the Hamptons this week are ready to reach into their bank accounts and give as much of their money as de Blasio wants. After all, shouldn’t all God’s children have houses in the Hamptons?

Obama started class warfare. De Blasio used it to his advantage to be elected mayor of New York.

And in a “socialist run-off,” Bill de Blasio is just as much a socialist as Obama is. Maybe even more.

De Blasio won the mayoralty of New York by appealing to the same voters as Barack Obama did in 2008.

De Blasio will carry the black vote. He will shamelessly parade his son’s afro and his daughter’s feisty attitude across the nation.

His wife is African-American and his children are as black as Obama is.

De Blasio, by ending Stop and Frisk, is causing the shooting deaths of many innocent young black teenagers. But that is nowhere close to Obama’s ignoring genocide in Sudan and the increasing levels of violence in Darfur.

In the end both Obama and de Blasio will win the unanimous votes of the blacks they have exploited.

Add to that the votes of the Latinos who helped push Obama and de Blasio into their respective offices.

Then, of course, there are my good friends – Democrat/Liberals who will vote for anyone who runs for President in 2016 on the Democratic ticket.

Add to all this the vote of the unions. De Blasio has been even more generous with the unions than Obama has been. De Blasio has given them increases and contracts that will haunt this city for years to come. Wait until he soul kisses the unions on a national level.

And my good Democrat/Liberal

IN THE NEWS

friends who may have second thoughts before pulling the lever for de Blasio, think of this: What could de Blasio do to this country that Obama hasn’t already done?

Then there’s the question of experience. De Blasio has been in office as mayor 184 days, which gives him 184 days more experience in governing than Obama had when you, my brilliant Democrat/Liberal friends, elected him President of the United States in 2008.

And don’t forget the ability of the Republican Party to shoot itself in the foot. De Blasio will easily beat the Republican candidate because Republicans don’t wait for Democrats to destroy them.

They will spend the next two years destroying themselves.

De Blasio will know how to deal with Congress. Even better than Obama, he will, as President, get close to Chuck “Give ‘Til It Hurts” Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and all those other cute liberals. He will do what Obama refused to do. He will cuddle up to Congress until he gets all of his programs enacted.

The make-up of the Supreme Court will change. The five members whom the Democrats said are “waging a war against women” will soon lose their majority to the four justices about whom the Republicans should have said (but were too dumb to think of it) were “waging a war on religion.”

De Blasio may look and sound stupid. But heed the words of the great Peggy Noonan: “What a small and politically vicious man New York’s mayor is.”

Are there better words to describe the next President of the United States as long as he’s a Democrat?

S o t o n i g h t w he n y o u , my Democrat friends, climb into bed, look up at the ceiling and repeat three times: “President de Blasio . . . President de Blasio . . . President de Blasio.” If that doesn’t give you a warm and toasty feeling, just say “Dick Cheney” once and hide under the covers until the “boogeyman” goes away.

East Hampton Deer Problem On TV Tonight

By Rick Murphy

The Kardashians aren’t the only ones around here with a reality TV show.

Former East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson and former Councilman Dominic Stanzione – strange bedfellows these days -will be featured on The Sportsman Channel tonight on the “Destination Whitetail” show.

Predictably, it’s about hunting Whitetail deer: the episode is called “The Hamptons Hurdle To Hunting” and it takes place entirely in East Hampton Town, mostly Montauk.

SPOILER ALERT! If you plan on watching the show -- it’s on twice, at 8:30 and 11:30 PM -- skip the next paragraph.

The highlight (arguably) is when a cameraman goes out with a local hunter, bow in hand, to bag a deer on camera. It’s the most dramatic on air killing since Jack Ruby gunned down Lee Harvey Oswald.

Wilkinson sets the scene early on: “I’d say about 60 percent of Montauk has Lyme disease in one form or another,” partly because “70 percent of Montauk is preserved.”

Stanzione says he has a “split

constituency”— with half the population opposed to killing deer to thin the herd.

The target audience is clear: early on in the episode Maxim cover girl and avowed “Huntress” Brittney Glaze makes an appearance on TV. “Thankfully bow hunting is still alive!” she exclaims. The sponsors of the show, BTW, include a number of companies that sell bow huntingrelated products.

Enter Ed Harrison of Montauk, a hunter for 33 years. He’s going to take the cameraman out later in the episode. Both Stanzione and Wilkinson state the problems they wrestled with when in office. “ We have too many deer,” Stanzione points out. “It’s a serious situation.” He noted the town funded “infrared technology” to try to get an accurate count on the deer herd, and “They counted 800.” It was generally conceded the count was way off and set the town’s effort to address the overpopulation of deer back. Another methodology using local distance sampling came up with 6000, Stanzione pointed out.

Wilkinson noted the Lyme disease problem and the fact that

the population in the town swells from 22,000 to 100,000 during the summer season. Wilkinson said when people return to their summer homes they “want to see their property the same way they left it.”

Instead, the deer will eat almost any planting if they get hungry enough, including ornamental bushes and trees that cost residents a lot of money.

Eddie Ecker, a lifelong Montauk resident who was police chief at the time, said there were between “125150 car hits” in the town involving deer, as well as some fatalities. “It’s a serious situation.”

Harrison, though, is about to reduce the herd. He sets up shop with a cameraman behind him in a small valley. Within five minutes a buck comes down, grazing. Harrison takes aim and makes a direct hit.

“Five minutes! Sorry it took so long!” he exclaims to the cameraman. “Now what do we do, go to the beach?” It’s his first hunting excursion of the year. Minutes later, as he drags the buck by its horn towards his truck, he pauses, spreads the animal’s legs, and picks off a tick for the camera and points out several more.

Stanzione said 5000 pounds of processed meat went to “local

families in need” and laid out a three-point plan to reduce the herd.

The town has since implemented his idea to broaden the area where hunting is allowed and to extend the hunting season. A USDA/Long Island Farm Bureau plan to bring in sharpshooters to reduce the herd on the East End was rejected by most local communities.

CVS Not Welcome In Bridge

Independent / James J. Mackin

Protestors gathered at 2510 Montauk Highway, the potential site for a new CVS in Bridgehampton, on Thursday morning.

By Emily Toy

Dozens of Bridgehampton residents and community advocate group members gathered on the corner of Montauk Highway and Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike last Thursday morning, protesting the prospect of a CVS Pharmacy being built at the busy location.

For months now, residents have been against the construction of the new store in the hamlet,

citing issues with the location, which is the busiest intersection in the area, as well as parking, traffic and safety concerns, and compromising the historical significance of the intersection.

Last week protestors carried signs bearing several different types of slogans against the proposed pharmacy-convenience store.

Generated by the members of Save Bridgehampton Main Street, a group that earlier this year stemmed from the Bridgehampton

Citizens Advisory Committee, opponents to the project appeared before the Southampton Town Board at the end of May. Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst explained to residents and advocate group members alike that the town board had no jurisdiction over the matter, suggesting they bring concerns to the planning board, which issued a building permit in February to BNB Ventures (the owner of the site).

The new CVS includes a two story, 9000 square foot building

approved for the former site of the Bridgehampton Beverage store located at 2510 Montauk Highway, adjacent to Starbucks.

It’s being argued the new CVS would add extra traffic to the already busy area, with residents noting vehicles coming out of the existing parking lot and exiting out onto Lumber Lane, would add congestion to the residential area, which is already dangerously backed up due to the traffic light and oncoming Continued On Page 33.

Buy Land, Charge Visitors?

By Kitty Merrill

The Community Preservation Fund has seen steady growth in East Hampton, but that doesn’t mean a spending spree is in order. The uptick is not going to last forever, board watcher David Buda warned the town board last week. He called for prioritizing properties that are the best value.

Hearings on potential CPF purchases dominated last Thursday night’s town board meeting. The board added 166 parcels in the Lake Montauk Watershed to the CPF project plan as potential acquisitions.

Hearings on the acquisition of an additional four properties were held and hearings on another two properties were scheduled.

A proposed acquisition of acreage located in the northwest section of East Hampton drew cautionary comments from Buda and Tom Knobel. Located on Mile Hill Road, the parcel consisting of 18 acres was priced at $4.8 million, and contains a dwelling.

“Why are we buying this?” Knobel wanted to know. The deal sounds

good at first blush, he said, but the property’s been on the market for a considerable period of time. Knobel wondered why the house wasn’t separated out to decrease the cost of the purchase. It will have to be knocked down, since CPF money can only be used to maintain historic structures. Taking the house out of the buy could mean more bang for the buck, Knobel offered.

Buda encouraged the board to make more information about the property and its potential use available to the public. He looked askance at the “enormous purchase price,” but noted “CPF has spent more and gotten less on other properties.”

The town should disclose the cost of removing structures and, said Buda, more scrutiny is warranted when the owners are heirs to former town officials.

Pressed on the last point, Buda reported Dwayne Whelan, who died in 1995, was one of the owners of the land. He was town attorney 30 years ago, Supervisor Larry Cantwell said. Twelve different heirs are

selling the property, including John Whelan a current appointee to the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals.

That could have no relevance at all, Buda said.

Realtor Tom MacNiven said he was the broker for the land in 2007 when the asking price was $8.5 million. “You’ve been wise to wait,” he opined, stating his strong support for the purchase of a “great piece of property.”

In all last Thursday night, the board held hearings on purchases that, once adopted, would add up to spending over $6.1 million in CPF money. The Community Preser vation Fund derives its revenue from a two percent tax on most real estate transfers. The CPF is a dedicated fund that can only be used for the purchase of open space and the preservation of farmland and historic structures.

The preservation of peace was on Bill Akin’s mind when he took the podium during another hearing last Thursday night. In an effort to ramp up code enforcement, the board proposed allowing more town

employees to be authorized with the power to issue appearance tickets to suspected code violators.

Enforcement officers are “stretched too thin, especially at this time of year” Akin observed.

“They deserve every possible tool we can provide.”

While he supported the proposed initiative, Akin wanted to speak to a bigger issue. The town’s ability to respond to the expanded demands each summer is limited by budgetary concerns. Much of the stress on the system is perpetrated by visitors who don’t pay local taxes, leaving the taxpayers with the burden of ponying up the cost of accommodating them.

“We need to explore ways to generate new income from the people causing the problem, not from the taxpayers,” Akin said.

Acknowledging he didn’t have the answers, Akin said the town’s “new reality” requires new ideas and new sources of funds from “someone other than those of us who are already shouldering the load.”

The Lay Of The Land

By Emily Toy

Southampton Town will be gaining and trading some new properties, as well as giving the landscaping at a local community center a little facelift, over the next month or so.

At last night’s town board meeting the town planned to acquire a historic preservation and conservation easement on property in Hampton Bays for the town’s Community Preservation Project Plan. The plan is an effort of the town, which identifies target areas and eligible properties for acquisition via the Community Preservation Fund.

The site was deemed appropriate for park and recreation purposes.

The owner of the property, located at 10 Wakeman Road in Hampton Bays, is Richard Casablanca. He expressed an interest to sell said property, totaling about one and half acres, to the town for $75,000.

“It is felt that this acquisition is the best alternative for the protection of community character of all the reasonable alternatives to the town, and it was determined that said interests in real property should be purchased . . .,” according to the resolution, sponsored by Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst and

CCESC recently partnered with the town to bring a community garden to the Flanders/Riverside/ Northampton communities located at the David Crohan Community Center in Flanders.

Ninety feet of white, four-foot high PVC fencing with a gate is to be installed at the community center as part of the joint effort.

Airport Noise ‘Relentless’

By Kitty Merrill

What better time than the eve of July Fourth to present the East Hampton Town Board with a

Declaration of Independence?

That’s what Kathleen Cunningham of the Quiet Skies Coalition did last Thursday night.

T. 631.329.1561 F. 631.329.0165 www.rhettslandscape.com

With apologies to Thomas Jefferson, Cunningham read the organization’s “Declaration of Independence from the torment of unlimited aircraft noise.” Marked by the florid style that accompanied Jefferson’s document in 1776, Cunningham’s “declaration,” written on behalf of “the great multitudes of noise-affected communities on the East End,” appeals to the town board to “remedy our suffering.”

While Cunningham’s was arguably the most creative commentary offered during last Thursday night’s meeting, her message about the scourge of

Did you know.... Water Quality: Using natural planted buffers helps filter stormwater.

Waste Management: Reducing, Recycling and Reusing means less waste in landfills. The Town is offering additional opportunities to dispose of hazardous household waste (S.T.O.P. days) for residents in the Town of Southampton. Cleaner Environment: Integrated Pest Management reduces the amount of pesticides needed to control pests. Example: Purple Martins are beautiful song birds that also eat mosquitoes.

IN THE NEWS

airport noise was hardly the only one.

An additional half dozen speakers addressed the electeds about airport noise. Some, like Tom MacNiven, thanked the board for demystifying the airport, its finances and functions.

Others detailed the miser y inherent in living under flight paths. “The horizon is littered with flying objects,” Patricia Currie of Sag Harbor maintained. No peace can be found, not even in nature preserves, she said. “It is time for East Hampton to place the health and wellbeing of East End taxpayers before those with aviation interests and a few wealthy visitors,” Currie declared.

An aviation lobbyist has begun a “disinformation campaign” about the economic impact of the airport, MacNiven reported. A realtor with 28 years local experience, he said the noise from the facility is having the true impact on property values, as potential tenants turn away and residents grieve their taxes. Entire areas are stigmatized by their proximity to the airport, MacNiven believes.

Barry Raeback lives in Wainscott and said noise from aircraft is relentless. “Our little recreational airport has morphed into a monstrosity of hundreds of operations each day,” Raeback said.

He wants the town board to take the responsibility of returning the airport to its originally-intended use “or close it.”

The latest route change has resulted in more helicopter traffic over Cheryl Gold’s Wireless Road roof in the last two weeks than in the prior two summers. Encouraged by the town board’s efforts so far, she noted, “You’re on the right track, but it’s taken a literal turn for the worse.” Joan Osborne characterized the intrusion of helicopters as “startling.”

Overall, speakers encouraged the board to take control of the airport when FAA assurances expire. Doing that, they believe, will allow locals to limit the types of aircraft that can land, and set curfews.

Butterfly Fireworks

By Frank Quevedo

On Fourth of July weekend, SoFo sponsored a firework show in Vineyard Field that didn’t require fuses, firecrackers or aerial sparks.

Instead, it was an observation of explosions in the form of brilliantlycolored butterflies. As these insects fly from flower to flower, gathering nectar, their wings seem to shimmer and change color, possessing some of the most striking colors that nature has to offer us.

On Saturday morning, butterfly enthusiast Henry Halama headed a walk to find butterflies and explain how tiny scales overlapping in rows give these magnificent insects their brilliant color and distinctive patterns.

This walk was specifically scheduled in July as this month and August are best to observe butterflies here on the East End. These flamboyant insects are exothermic (cold blooded) and

worship the sun, so the exposed field behind the museum and warm temperature created the perfect setting for a successful walk.

Butterflies and moths are members of the order Lepidoptera, derived from the Greek lepidos for scales and ptera for wings. Their scaled wings distinguish them as a group from all other insects. When butterflies and moths are handled, the scales rub off as colored powder.

When this powder is seen through the lens of a microscope, the colors and scales are astounding.

Butterflies get their colors in two different ways: ordinary and structural. Ordinary color comes from normal chemical pigments that absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others. An example of this is how the pigment chlorophyll absorbs up the blue and red colors of the spectrum but not green, which gives plants their green color as it bounces back to

our eyes.

The structural source of color on butterflies comes from the unique arrangement of scales on the butterfly’s wings. In most instances when we observe butterflies, we notice their ability to shift colors to appear more intense at times.

This is known as the iridescence effect. The multilayered rows of scales are reflected more than once, so as we move, we see multiple reflections compound one another, which intensifies the color on the butterfly. This source of changing colors through iridescence occurs more often in nature than one might think.

The different colors on butterflies serve multiple purposes. Some colors are used for courtship, so that the males and females of the same species can recognize each other. The bright colors are used by butterflies as warning signs to birds and other predators that they are bad-tasting and lastly, certain color patterns are used to camouflage the butterfly to resemble certain backgrounds, such as plants and trees so they are protected from would-be predators.

At Mr. Halama’s fireworks show on Saturday, some of the butterflies and moths observed were: American Copper, Hackberr y Emperor, Black Swallowtail, Little Wood Satyr, Common Wood Nymph,

Real Estate Market Shows Increasing Demand

By Rick Murphy

The Schommer report, published by the Corcoran Group last week, confirms what veteran real estate market watchers already knew—demand is increasing in the Hamptons, and that means inventory continues to diminish.

Jason B. Schommer, an Associate

One Hairy Guy East Hampton Village Police took a Hempstead man into custody on July 1. Store employees said he stole 56 packages of Gillette Fusion razor blades.

Assault Victim Riverhead Police received a call from Peconic Bay Hospital Saturday day night concerning an assault victim being treated there.

Responding officers identified the victim – Benjamin Velasquez, 42.

A woman who helped him get to the hospital said Velasquez was attacked by two white males who jumped him from the rear, threw him to the ground, and kicked him.

Riverhead Police said an open case of assault dating back to June 6 was taken off the books Monday when Enver Zorluoglu, 37, turned himself in at police headquarters. Police said Zorluoglu was a suspect in an assault that took place on Main Street in Jamesport.

broker with Corcoran, concludes buyers are taking advantage of properly priced opportunities.

Moreover, he is beginning to see something in this market usually reserved for Manhattan real estate: bidders “are paying above the ask price as several buyers vie for the same property.”

Schommer said, “The sale of land parcels remains on a steady incline” and that new land inventory “is very slow coming to the market.

Building and Construction are strong.”

Final sale prices average about 9 percent less than the original asking price. Among the big-ticket items was a $25 million sale, for 207 Lily Pond Lane in East Hampton Village. It was reportedly once on the market for $40 million.

In North Haven, 19 Robertson Drive transferred for a whopping $31.6 million after being put on the market for $36 million. The 9000-

plus square foot house sits on over five waterfront acres.

In Sagaponack, 780 Daniels Lane sold for a tidy $10.775, almost the asking price.

In Southampton, a parcel on 182 Fowler Street fetched $14 million, the asking price.

There were two big deals in Water Mill during the last quarter: 470 Edge of Woods Road and 122 Olivers Cove Lane; both went for $12 million.

RICK’S SPACE Dodge Hampton Picture this bucolic scene: A family of four on a leisurely morning bicycle outing. Dad in front, Mom next, followed by the little miss, who is maybe 11, and Junior, who is all of seven.

They have money, no doubt, judging from the expensive bikes and state-of-the-art biker-friendly wardrobe and gear. Junior, who looks just like dad, is swerving, obviously uneasy on a two-wheeler.

His helmet keeps falling over his eyes.

My guess is mom and dad met out here, maybe stopping for a soda at the Sagg Store after an early morning bike ride way back then.

Naturally, they want to relive those magic moments with the little ones.

So they ride, in single file more or less, down Montauk Highway on the Saturday of July Fourth weekend.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Well, imagine a family of four going for a fun-filled vacation in Vietnam in 1969. Think Mekong

Delta. Or maybe a nice bike ride through Dodge City circa 1859.

The odds of getting out alive are about the same in all three of these situations.

Right behind the caravan of bikers is a car. The driver is obviously uneasy, and slams on the brakes every time Junior swerves or almost falls over. The driver is not a very good one, and probably shouldn’t even have a driver’s license. She is what is known as a woman driver.

Behind this nervous lady is an SUV, and the driver is tailgating.

He is impatient, and wants her to pull over, turn, or crash, as long as he can swing by her. He’s contemplating passing her on the right shoulder while he texts his golfing buddy or his cute secretary at the hedge fund office. He’s an Alpha Male.

What kind of moron thinks taking their kids out for a leisurely bike ride in Nam is a good idea?

Highway -- or County Road 39, or Routes 25 or 58, are good places for a leisurely bike ride.

While I’m on the subject of morons, we are all familiar with drivers who make left turns into the face of oncoming traffic -- every once in a while one turns up dead for making a minor miscalculation in speed or distance.

But how about the ones who make the left then settle in the middle lane, narrowly avoiding getting hit by vehicles from both directions. This is a relatively new phenomenon.

I don’t mind when professional drivers who can handle any rig at any speed on any road under any condition -- manly men like myself -- started doing it, but now everyone does it. We’ve even taught the undocumented drivers to do it, which is particularly scary, since they oftentimes don’t know the difference between a turning lane and a passing lane. What’s worse, I was in Southampton last week and I saw -- I swear this is true -- a woman driver cut into oncoming traffic on County Road 39 and lived to tell the tale at the hairdresser’s shop. Yes, CR 39, “The Highway of Death.�

Clearly Earth, we have a problem. The answer surely isn’t environmentally correct: the last two local fatalities I remember involved hybrids cars. I prefer trucks for the obvious reason: bulk.

Besides, Prizms don’t come with gun racks and you can’t fit a proper dog in a Mini Cooper. After all, not all of us want to get cuddly with a mini-poodle during a three-dog winter.

IN THE NEWS

I drove before cars had seat belts, let alone 12 airbags. Back then this was country and we weren’t in a hurry to get wherever it was we were going. We’d drive around, dogs in the back of the truck, a shotgun mounted on the rear window, and enjoy life in the country. When you’re going 25 miles an hour it’s difficult to kill anyone. (Of course, if people got in our way we had the option of shooting them so there was that, too.)

What used to be a 10-minute jaunt is now a difficult journey fraught with peril. I felt like Old Man Nelson headin’ into town from my farm for my semi-annual supply run. Grab a side o’bacon, 50 pound bag of flour, sack of wheat, and oh yeah, some of them thar peppermint sticks for the lil ones.

Storekeep, put it on my tab and I’ll settle up when the crop comes in. Told the missus I’d be home by dusk, god willin’.

That was me going from East Hampton to Bridgehampton Saturday morning.

No, the guy in the black Range Rover didn’t send Junior flying – this time. No, the undocumented driver with no insurance didn’t turn into the passing lane just as a cement truck was angling out to avoid a bicyclist – not this time, anyway. But an ambulance was coming up from the rear, and the poor fool lying in the back probably was someone who didn’t realize this ain’t some sleepy town anymore.

It’s Dodge City, except we dodge vehicles instead of bullets. One of them has your name on it, so be careful out there.

EDITORIAL

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

Truckin’ The proposed ban on parking commercial vehicles on residential property being contemplated by the East Hampton Town Board should not be taken lightly.

On one hand, there is the quality of life issue. Homeowners in bucolic neighborhoods have the right to expect peace and quiet.

In Springs, several factors have combined to cause unrest, and agitated property owners are fighting back. Many of us get daily e-mails from activists depicting large industrial-size vehicles parked at small residences.

The issue is compounded in Springs by illegal apartments and overcrowded homesteads that not only affect the quality of life but also substantially devalue homes, which are the only real asset of note for many couples. Consider that at retirement a couple living in a distressed area that may need to sell their home will have to settle for hundreds of thousands of dollars less than they hoped for a few years ago. The situation is compounded by ever-increasing property taxes due in large measure to the swelling school population that goes with illegal housing.

These are all separate issues, but lumped together it is easy to see why homeowners are fed up.

Certainly, heavy equipment like cranes and cement mixers have no place in a residential neighborhood. But banning trucks that may trailer lawn mowing equipment, for example, in the absence of a back-up plan seems unfair on its face. Certain restrictions related to modifications to pick up trucks, such as temporarily adding higher sides to the truck bed, seem designed to target the little guy.

The law, which will be subject to a hearing on July 17, is supposed to shut down large scale business owners who are operating out of residential properties and storing huge equipment on site. Surely, if a business owner can afford big rigs that cost close to $100K, he can afford to rent a place to keep them. But what about the little guys who will also get swept up? One reader suggested “500 guys,” small time handymen, carpenters, or landscapers, will be put out of business if the proposal is adopted.

Owner operators should have the right to park their work vehicles on their own property to a certain extent. Certainly a pickup truck towing a trailer is relatively benign. (The law allows open trailers, but not the closed ones carpenters use to store tools.) The real issue, though, is where else can he put it?

The bigger problem, as we see it, is if the owners are up at the crack of dawn and their workers are coming and going from the residences at all hours.

Put another way, a delicate balance exists here. Springs is a working man’s community. Men need trucks. If they can’t park them at their homes, where can they park them? Until the town board has an answer to that question, we need to tread lightly.

All homeowners have rights: a working man should be allowed to park equipment he needs to make a living on his own property provided there aren’t other factors like noise that infringe on the rights of neighbors.

We all need to be good neighbors and do the neighborly thing – there are a lot of people around here who have forgotten that, on both sides of the fence.

We urge town board members to think out of the box on this one. Certainly, there is town-owned land – perhaps by the airport – where a working man could leave his big rig and equipment after a long day’s work. That would make everyone happy.

Insight By Ed Gifford

Independent VOICES

Expect More Immigrants Dear Editor, Congratulations to The Independent for recognizing and speaking out concerning the continuing humanitarian crisis with Hispanic children illegally crossing the U.S. border, as I understand it, without parents.

Our church has had a mission (humanitarian) in Haiti (the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere) for over 30 years.

The church and concerned donors fund

most of the expense for construction, salaries, equipment and the fuel needed to provide electricity from our generator. For most of the years, our food, that supplied one meal a day to more than 1,300 children in school grades preschool into high school, had been supplied by our government through USAID. However, for more than a year now USAID stopped supplying food to these hungry, malnourished children.

Congressman Tim Bishop and other politicians have been asked repeatedly to help restore food for these hungry children, to no avail. It’s the usual Washington “blame game” with Congressman Bishop pointing a finger at the Republicans in Congress.

So what happened to a work that fed Continued on Page 22.

and educated over 1000 malnourished children while providing jobs to almost 100 people including teachers, cooks, security, and maintenance workers? This past year our enrollment was reduced to 125 children and the number of employees to 28. Is it any wonder that people in poor countries come to the U.S.? I guess they could starve in their own country because they get so little help from others?

And how about the local politicians starting with Congressman Bishop, then Assemblyman Fred Thiele, then County Legislator Jay Schneiderman, then the Republicans and Democrats on the town boards because guess what, all immigrants legal and illegal end up LOCAL. And yet our LOCAL politicians do next to nothing concerning this humanitarian crisis. Why can’t we bring our sick, malnourished kids here from Haiti? I would like some of these one-percenters here in the Hamptons to put up the money for food, salaries, and maybe travel for the kids to come and have a summer in the Hamptons. Why? Congressman Bishop sure hasn’t helped us in more than two years.

With inaction like that and failed government policies you can expect more immigrants from everywhere. Remember, 2/3 of the people in the world are hungry or worse. In Christian Service, REV. DONALD HAVRILLA, PASTOR SOUTHAMPTON FULL GOSPEL CHURCH

Have you been following the World Cup? Rob Agard Yes I have been. I was so sad when the United States was eliminated. I thought we had a really good chance but it just didn’t pan out.

Tim Howe’s my guy, though. I love soccer. I played when I was younger but I wasn’t that good. But I still play just for the fun of it.

Nicole Meola This is the first year I’ve really followed it. So far the most exciting match for me was when the United States played. I was sad when they were eliminated but they played really well. I downloaded the app so I can follow all the matches on my phone.

William Gorman I’m following it modestly. We watch with the family. I’m from Scotland so officially I suppose I support England. We got knocked out before you Americans did. You Americans actually did extremely well. You got through about half the competition.

Andrew Bogossian I really just started watching it this year. I watched a little bit last time but I wasn’t really hooked until this year. I have to admit that it was kind of sad watching The United States when they lost. But I’m still following it.

Guarantees Employment Dear Dr. Annacone, Your article outlining the way to handle the question of teacher tenure is excellent. It is a rational and well thought out plan that would help maintain teacher tenure, which is an essential policy that guarantees teacher employment and to keep responsible teachers out of the reach of political and biased threats.

Chaos Intended Dear Editor, “Coming to America” July 2, is sensitive and appropriate. But, Rick, have you considered that the children coming across our southern border are merely political pawns in a cynical approach to

“settling” the immigration issue?

Saul Alinsky wrote “Rules for Radicals.”

It is used in teaching community organizing and union work. One of his 12 rules is: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

So, when our “organizer in chief” fails to get immigration reform by rational means is it unreasonable to think he would try to overwhelm the immigration system with the most vulnerable (children), bring the system to collapse, and then respond to the public clamor to “DO SOMETHING?” with his “solution?” It seems you fell victim to the “chaos” intended to produce “change.”

GUNTHER GEISS

Baseless and Argumentative Dear Mr. Murphy, I had read a number of letters of Mr. Zizelis in the Indy and not only understand his concerns but for the most part am personally attuned to them. I’ve also read those of Mr. Saridakis and what is apparent is that his retorts have nothing to do with the letter to which he is commenting and are neither incisive nor convincing but rather baseless and argumentative. Nothing seems to penetrate his determination toward incomprehension other than the spell-check of the word “Prosgresive.”

I am a woman and if the progresssive significance of electing the first Catholic, the first African American and hopefully the first woman as Presidents of the United States is not apparently progress, Continued on Page 23.

nothing is. The fact that it was done by the Progressives as opposed to the Regresive Consservatives is not surprising but rather expected since progress as the name implies is moving forward and today’s distortion of the once proud Grand Old Party is the antithesis of prokoptó. The Greeks (always) had a word for it. PS: My spell-check is in need of upgrading.

who is an important component of the Town Government. Carole Brennan moved up from Deputy Town Clerk to the elected position of Town Clerk this year. She has done an exemplary job in this position.

The ability of the public to keep up to date on Town Board matters on TOWN BOARD. COM has enabled the citizens of the Town to keep abreast of Town matters.

Without actually attending and noting the proceedings in the meetings - it is the clearest way to keep informed on the discussions and the sequence of events that affect all of us in East Hampton.

Without her expertise and efforts I believe the town board’s work would be slowed significantly and would they be basing decisions on less than accurate information - to the detriment of us all.

I would also like to mention the actual operation of the office. On the times I have been in there recently, the staff is

her efforts on our behalf and wish her well and continued success.

In addition to the traffic concerns, many agree there currently are not enough parking spaces available to accommodate potential patrons to the chain store. There’s a parking lot located behind Starbucks, but there isn’t any prospect of more spaces being constructed, and according to several residents, “It’s already filled.”

Some CAC and SBMS members say the proposed CVS would ruin the historic nature of the intersection at the highway, Ocean Road, Lumber Lane and the turnpike. That intersection includes Topping Rose House, formerly

Many want the town to purchase the property with Community P r e s e r v a t i o n F u n d m o n e y, conserving the open space for a small park. SBMS asked officials to preserve the space in a letter to Throne-Holst and the town board members.

Planning Board Chairman Dennis Finnerty said he supports turning the property into a preserved, green space. However, the owner of the property, Paul Kanavos of BNB Ventures, needs to be willing to sell it to the town.

HCB In Full Swing

By Rick Murphy

The Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League is in full swing, and in its seventh year. It has grown in stature and importance – 19 players were chosen in the 2014 Major League Draft.

The North Fork Ospreys currently hold first place as the halfway mark approaches. Bill Ianniciello, in his

third year as manager, has guided his charges to a 16-12 record. Austin Miller, who is hitting .341, and Luke Stampfl, who is batting .333 and has a team high 16 ribbies, lead the team offensively.

This hand was played recently at the East Hampton Duplicate Bridge Club. Every North-South team bid to the heart game after North bid the conventional Jacoby 2N showing 4 trumps and an opening hand.

Most South declarers went down one trick after the spade finesse failed, as did the two diamond finesses. South felt somewhat annoyed that all the possible finesses available failed. While that was unlikely, the fact is one South found a better line of play.

After winning the ace of clubs, South played and lost a small club.

He then drew trumps and found the fortunate 2-2 split. Next he did try the spade finesse, which lost. After winning the spade return, South ruffed a spade and then ruffed his last club.

At this point the defense had won two tricks, one club and one spade. Next South led the ten of diamonds, which he let ride after West played low.

West won, but now was end played. If he leads a diamond, South wins both the ace and queen.

If, instead, East leads anything else, South can get a ruff in dummy and a diamond discard from his hand.

Geno Smith: Worst Of The Worst?

Last week 26 NFL insiders voted in an ESPN.com poll naming Geno Smith the worst quarterback in the NFL. Wait . . . really? Don’t get me wrong, no one is going to confuse Smith with Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. But, the worst?

In a league with Matt Cassel, Chad Henne, Jake Locker and Christian Ponder, I don’t buy it.

I believe voting Smith the worst quarterback was, in part, used as a conversation starter for ESPN talking heads. Yet, as we approach training camp, the Jets quarterback situation is the most interesting story line in New York football. And, yes, the “worst QB in the league” absolutely deserves the starting job.

While Smith’s statistics from 2013 were unimpressive, he was a product of his environment. Smith threw 12 touchdown passes to 21 interceptions. He had a 56 percent completion percentage and passed for 3046 yards (both in the bottom third of the league).

But, Smith worked with, arguably, the worst group of receivers and running backs in the NFL. With the additions of WR Eric Decker, Chris Johnson, and Jace Amaro, Smith has more playmakers at his disposal. He showed enough potential, especially towards the end of his rookie year, with limited offensive talent, to deserve another full campaign under center.

Meantime, Mike Vick is in town looking to prolong his career. At 34 years old, Vick’s best days are clearly behind him. Just last season he lost his starting job with the Eagles to second-year man Nick Foles.

While Vick still shows flashes of brilliance with his arm and leg, he is not the long-term solution for the Jets. Since returning from prison he has only played at least 13 games in a season, once. For his entire career, Vick played in all 16 regular season games . . . once.

Vick’s health has not been the only problem in the second half of his career. He has had a decrease in completion percentage and touchdown passes in each of the past four years. Many believed Vick

www.indyeastend.com

was the ideal quarterback for new coach Chip Kelly’s up-tempo style of play. But, when given the chance late in the season between a healthy Vick and healthy Foles, Kelly chose the latter.

One could definitely make a

strong case that the Jets could win more games in 2014 with Mike Vick at quarterback instead of Smith. Vick is more polished, and knows offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg’s system well from their time together in Philadelphia.

If the Jets goal is to simply win 7-10 games over the next couple of the seasons, then Vick is the guy.

But, they need to find out if Geno can be their anchor for the next 10 years. I’m not convinced he can be.

But, I sure do know that, thanks to father time, Vick has zero chance to fit that role.

The fear is watching Vick blow away Smith in camp. Then the

media and fans start buzzing about Vick’s arm and legs, and the front office and coaching staff buys into the hype. This regime, sans Idzik, has been known to buy into hype before (Tebow, anyone?).

If owner Woody Johnson, GM John Idzik and coach Rex Ryan can remain focused on the long-term success of the franchise, then this should be a nonissue. But, as is always the case with the Jets . . . you just never know.

Quarterbacks: Who And When Over the years the prevailing opinion is that drafting the top running backs in the first round was the key to Fantasy Football success.

This has been true, but last season a lot of the best teams started off by picking elite wide receivers.

As discussed in my last column, I’ve become convinced that 2014 is the year of the quarterback. For one thing, there are very few elite running back options – I believe there are 20 guys out here who have the talent and opportunity to finish in the top five. Remember, opportunity is the key – every player in the league has talent: he needs to

631-725-4712

WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK.

3253 Noyac Road Sag Harbor, NY

www.indyeastend.com

FuN!

play regularly to produce, though.

The league is becoming more and more segmented: few running backs play every offensive down, and many teams have chosen to employ two running backs that share the workload. You don’t want to waste your top pick on one of those guys.

On the other hand, elite wide receivers are becoming more and more plentiful. Once there was only Calvin Johnson – now Demaryius Thomas, Dez Bryant, AJ Green, Julio Jones, Alshon Jeffrey and several more could emerge as superstars.

That means you can wait until the second or third round of your draft and still get one.

Quarterbacks are another matter. When it comes to putting up monster numbers, there are only three: Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers. Matthew Stafford and Tom Brady are a rung below. Then there are the QBs who can run and throw, like Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III. After that about 12 guys rank in the same tier.

IN THE NEWS

What it means is this: either take a QB early, or wait . . . and wait . . . and wait. I got Tony Romo in an auction league for $6 last year, because I waited until all the other teams had chosen a quarterback to get mine.

Peyton Manning had the greatest season of any QB ever last year. He broke every imaginable record. He will be the first QB taken in every draft – but not by my team. Don’t you make the mistake, either.

Manning is 38 – he is coming off two neck surgeries. He’s missed two of the past four seasons with injuries. The odds of him repeating last season’s performance are a million to one.

As we said last week, Brees is a much safer pick, and you can probably get him in the second or third round.

We also think Newton is going to have a big year, so don’t let him slip past the fourth. Jay Cutler has the best receiving duo in the league, and he’ll probably be there in the seventh round. Want a longshot?

Ryan Tannehill looked like a bluechipper at times last season, and he can be had in rounds 11 or 12.

And don’t forget Johnny Football —Manziel can pile up yards in the air and on the ground and despite what team officials are saying, he really has no competition in Cleveland.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

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

Hurricanes May Miss Us – And They Leave Deadly Rip Tides Hurricane season is in gear. Arthur piled up water along the eastern seaboard last week, and headed into the Atlantic after that. This column is about rip tides, rip currents, and undertows, which are what distant storms leave us.

Lest one of us comes to grief . . .

Undertow v Rip Tide v Rip Currents Anybody who has ever been to a beach understands undertow. It is the backwash as gravity returns a breaking wave to the sea. All but small children can stand against it – and its effect ends at the leading edge of the next breaking wave.

While it might knock you down and thus “suck” you under, it won’t pull you out to sea. Our mothers didn’t

know that because they confused undertow with rip tides and rip currents.

A rip tide is the result of tides and the egress and ingress of large volumes of water flowing through inlets, estuaries, and bays. As facts would have it, most people don’t swim near inlets or where bays meet the sea. They swim near beaches, where sand bars often form, and where rip currents, “the killer current,” form in concert.

The Anatomy Of A Rip Current Rip currents are by far the biggest killers of ocean swimmers.

Rip currents form as waves disperse along the beach causing water to become trapped between the beach

www.indyeastend.com

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

and a sandbar or other underwater feature. This water becomes the “feeder” that creates the deadly force of the rip current. The water converges into a narrow, river-like channel moving away from the shore at high speed.

Marine scientists define a rip current as having a “neck” (the river-like channel moving away from the shore) and a “head” that is often defined by an unusual disturbance or choppiness in the water and by murky discoloration caused by sand and debris.

As the water and swimmer reach the “head,” the velocity and strength of the rip current circulation begins to weaken considerably.

Can I Get Out Of The Rip? If you don’t panic, and play the water’s power to your advantage, yes. Don’t try to swim back to shore against the rip current that is dragging you out. Most likely, you will tire beyond recovery and drowning, flatly put, will follow as surely as night follows day.

Swim with and across the rip current. Let it give you some speed as you “exit – stage left!” Or right – but get out of the grip of the current and into “normal” water.

Then, deal with the hand you’ve been dealt. Swim back, or tread water while waving your arms for help, or just float and rest. This is why swimming with a “buddy system” is so critical.

Can I See A Rip Current?

Often, yes. As a result of the current’s speed, sand is forced into suspension often causing a rip current to be associated with “dirty” water.

The rip is characterized by a strong, localized current flowing seaward from the shore visible as an agitated band of water, which is the return movement of water piled up on the shore by incoming waves.

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 . . .”

On The Water Gulp Is The New Squid Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean Had some reports of good action on both bass and fluke before Arthur made his appearance. This weekend seems to have been hit or miss with the bite just as it has been for most of the spring. The best fluking continues to be on the flats with light bucktails and teasers when the tides have slowed.

Some days the gulp is the bait of choice and some the normal squid spearing combo. Prior to Arthur, the ocean was producing a good amount of short fish with an occasional keeper. The best option is live baits drifted in the inlet if you’re looking to target the bass.

The clam chumming at the bridge and inlet are producing a fair amount of fish too. Outside, the best bet is to find the bunker pods.

Plenty of large bass are traveling with these pods anywhere from the beach to three miles out, both east or west of the inlet.

Peconics Porgies remain the target species.

Clam or worm baits and plenty of clam chum. If fluke is your pleasure, head east where the cooler waters are.

Shorebound/Beaches/Canal Right place, right time has been the name of the game with the bass bite. Along the beaches it has been very slow. Had a report of a good bite just before sunrise on plugs west of the inlet and a few reports of bass taking clams and not much else. Best bet is to target the bass in the inlet after dark on bucktails.

The Ponquogue Bridge is holding a good amount of fluke being taken on gulp and spearing. Over at the inlet the fluke are cooperating as well.

The north end of the Shinnecock Canal has a good amount of porgies and short fluke with an occasional keeper on the south end.

Kayak Fishermen The areas west of the Ponquogue Bridge have yielded a good amount of fluke during the daylight hours and bass on the dawn and dusk tides. Working the shallow water south of the main channel. Another good spot to check out is east of

the Ponquogue Bridge around the sand islands.

Shark’s Eye On Tap

Independent / Courtesy KG Media

The Shark’s Eye Tournament and Festival returns to the Montauk Marine Basin this weekend. Limited team entries are still available to compete for $10,000 in guaranteed prize money, provided by the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, plus half off all entry fees, 100 percent of Calcutta and other prizes. Entry fee is $950.

The tournament attracts anglers from all walks of life including American music legend, Jimmy Buffett, whose boat “Last Mango” entered for the second year in a row. Buffett, who fished the inaugural event called satellite tag, catch-and-release tournaments “the wave of the future.”

Six satellite tags will be made available this year by OCEARCH, with one of them being funded by Austin Marxe. The shark receiving that tag would be named after his granddaughter, Isabella. In 2013, teams tagged and released 64 sharks including 33 mako and 31 blues. Four of the sharks were satellite tagged.

On Saturday from 3 to 7 PM and Sunday from 2 to 6 PM, a shark-themed festival dockside features event sponsors, vendors, unique attractions, interactive demonstrations, plus lots to eat and drink. A Dock Party Saturday night until 10 PM boasts a live performance by Gus Fafalios and Deep C Revival. The event is free to public.
