AMAZE YOUR FRIENDS. READ THIS AND BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHO WILL BE THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN 2016

I used to be just like you when it came to the upcoming presidential election – a lot confused, and a little frightened.

Then I watched the debate last week, fortified by two delicious Absolut Peppar Vodka martinis with at least eight jalapeno-stuffed olives.

After the first frightening moment (which came when I choked on an olive), the second frightening moment came when Donald Trump revealed his intentions by refusing to say if he would endorse the winning Republican candidate in the 2016 election.

That, in case you didn’t know, was blackmail.

If Trump goes through with his threat and runs as an Independent, your vote is useless and the election is over – Clinton wins.

So here are my picks. If I left out any candidate you love, just watch the next debate with two martinis in you and maybe you’ll agree with me.

But first let’s deal with the

elephant in the room: Donald Trump.

I now know why Democrats are so happy and having orgasms over Trump leading the Republican candidates at the polls.

He can’t win.

He can cause the Republican Party to lose, but he can’t win.

Trump’s appeal to the fringe crazies (including a few members of my family) leaves him with just about 18 to 19 percent of the total Republican voters in this country.

Throughout history, with the exception of Adolf Hitler, sooner or later a candidate runs out of crazies to support him.

With 19 percent in Trump’s pocket, all of these votes will be wasted votes coming from Republicans who could have used their votes to defeat Hillary.

Nineteen percent is what Ross Perot got – enough to give Bill Clinton the election over George H.W. Bush in 1992.

In the 2000 presidential election

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

in Florida, George W. Bush defeated Al Gore by 537 votes. Ralph Nader got 97,488 votes in Florida, which led to claims that he was responsible for Gore’s defeat.

In the end, Trump is Ross Perot and Ralph Nader with bad hair.

So if you like Trump’s brash, theatrical style and you like what he says and you vote for him, you will indeed be casting a vote for Hillary Clinton.

My personal attitude is if Hillary wins I will move to Canada. If Trump wins I will move even further into Canada.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Trump goes to the Republican Party and says, “Pay me a one-billion-dollar ‘consulting fee’ and I will endorse any Republican candidate you want.”

Far-fetched? Insane?

If Trump is the egomaniac I think he is, he can spend the rest of his life bragging that he brought the Republican Party to its knees and made a billion-dollar profit on the election.

With him it’s all about money.

So now let me look at the Republican candidates.

CANDIDATES I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR: Ted Cruz. He’s smart but scary.

Almost as frightening as Trump. He is the choice of the Tea Party. If he can’t get the nomination, the Tea Party might do what they have done in the past and sit on their hands and decide not to vote.

Dr. Ben Carson. Another smart, capable guy who doesn’t have a chance.

Carly Fiorina. Smart, but she

reminds me too much of Mrs. Stafford, my third grade teacher who once threw a blackboard eraser at me.

Lindsey Graham. Are you kidding?

Mike Huckabee. Darling of the religious right would not have a prayer to win.

Rick Santorum. Creeps me out.

Bobby Jindal. Ditto.

Rand Paul. His crazy eyes scare me.

Rick Perry. Everything about him scares me.

CANDIDATES I WOULD VOTE FOR: Chris Christie. Tells it like it is.

He’s a poor man’s Donald Trump with more style and grace and is much more electable.

Jeb Bush. Big favorite. Has some great ideas and did a brilliant job as governor of Florida. His presentation sucks. He looks more capable of running Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood than the United States. He’s lost weight but still looks as soft as the Pillsbury Doughboy. He’s got to toughen up because if he can win over some party conservatives he would roll over Hillary.

Scott Walker. A good man who fought and beat the unions in Wisconsin and would make a good president. Problem: He doesn’t look or sound like a president. Walker looks like a president’s young press secretary, and in the debate he looked lost. Maybe he should grow a mustache and a beard and smoke a few packs of cigarettes before the next debate so he looks older and has a deeper voice.

Marco Rubio. Smart, attractive – he will get Republicans the Hispanic vote and win Florida. A young, freshfaced family man who is running against a tired, older Hillary. Bad note: One of my “Trump-loving” relatives says Rubio looks like the nice handsome kid next door who, one night, murders his high school girlfriend.

John Kasich. Did you see him in the debate? He’s a strong, smart conservative. He’s the man Democrats fear the most. He’s been a brilliant governor in Ohio and if he runs he wins us a state we must have to carry the election. He has had great political success all his life. Could be the next Reagan.

So what’s my winning Republican presidential ticket? RUBIO AND KASICH. Or KASICH AND RUBIO. With this ticket the Republicans win the key states of Florida and Ohio and carry the Hispanic vote.

Just remember, you read it here first. I think I need another martini.

Ellen’s Run Celebrates A Milestone

By Rick Murphy

Julie Ratner was understandably devastated when her younger sister, Ellen Hermanson, succumbed to breast cancer.

That in itself was almost impossible to endure, but it was just one of the tragedies and lifechanging events that were to occur in the coming year.

Together, they transformed Ratner’s life and set in motion one of the most ambitious and successful fundraising efforts on the East End. Sunday morning a thousand runners will compete in the 20th annual Ellen’s Run, but it’s not about who runs the fastest – it’s about the joy of being there.

Ratner wanted – needed – to do something to honor her sister, a gifted writer who became a tireless advocate for breast cancer awareness even as her condition deteriorated.

A friend of Ratner’s planted the seed in 1996. “Your sister was such an amazing woman. You’re a runner – why not do a race?”

Ratner, who had taken up running and ran her first marathon in 1986, didn’t know much about

Independent/Jessica Mackin

the business end.

“I knew nothing about organizing a race,” she recalled. “I would go the day of the race, pick up my number, and run.”

But she immersed herself in the planning process. “We worked hard.

I read a lot. A lot of people told me we wouldn’t be able to pull it off, but when someone tells me I can’t do something, I do it,” Ratner said. “I looked at Ellen’s life for inspiration.”

ORDER ONLINE!

Four hundred runners showed up for the first race and the event raised $60,000. It has continued to grow.

The idea was to help diagnosis, and prevent if possible, the disease and to provide the best possible care and a road to recovery to those who have it.

“There are a lot of people n the Hamptons without money, a lot of people who suffer greatly,” Ratner said.

In 2008 Southampton Hospital officials approached Ratner about building a breast cancer center. It was an extremely ambitious project.

“It was 2008 and the economy was crashing. It was our first bricks and mortar project. I was worried.”

Nevertheless, Ratner went all in.

She formed a foundation and began raising the necessary money needed to get the project moving.

Today, The Ellen Hermanson

Foundation endures, and its crown jewel is the Breast Center at Southampton Hospital.

“The first time I saw it, [Hospital Director] Bob Chaloner walked me down the hall and I saw Ellen’s name. I started to cry,” Ratner remembered. “Ellen always found something good. She used to say `I didn’t choose the hand I was dealt but I can chose how to play my cards.’”

Ellen’s Run is the poster child for a determined effort to help cancer victims cope, survive, and ultimately triumph over the disease.

Not one to rest on her laurels, Ratner has begun another ambitious effort – to purchase a digital tomosynthesis, a method for performing high-resolution limited-angle tomography at mammographic dose levels.

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) can provide a higher diagnostic accuracy compared to conventional mammography.

“It is the most powerful new technology. There’s nothing like it.

The unit costs about $500,000 and will be placed in the Hampton Bays satellite center.

The race also provides funding for important ongoing programs.

A recurring seminar, “Renewal & Hope,” helps newly- diagnosed women cope and provides hope.

Ellen’s Well is there to help with expenses and transportation for counseling.

Yes, she has had her share of despair, but Ratner’s journey has become its own reward. “The intensity of the work provides a high level of euphoria,” she said.

Sloppy Tuna Fights Back

By Rick Murphy

The owner of Montauk’s Sloppy Tuna has been trashed at public forums, demonized by town officials, and repeatedly cited for alleged code violations.

Now he is fighting back.

Drew Doscher maintains he been subjected to years of harassment by the town and specifically by Thomas Baker, an East Hampton Town Fire Marshal.

And he wants them to pay for their perceived sins – to the tune of $5 million, according to a suit filed in U.S Eastern District Court last week.

The filing, by the attorney, Lawrence Kelly, alleges that the town ignored state law and overstepped

its bounds when it arbitrarily lowered the occupancy of the building, located at 148 South Emerson Avenue, from 263 to 99 and then attempted to shut the business down.

Doscher bought the property with some investors in 2010 and decided to renovate the building after the 2011 summer season.

“State Code governs the rehabbing of an older building,” Kelly said. “The Certificate of Occupancy continuous throughout.”

Baker, Kelly said, charged them with violations based on a section of town code that applies to new construction.

The town issued criminal summonses and then individual

Independent/Rick Murphy

summonses on Doscher and his investors. Baker succeeded in shutting down the club at one point, but only for a few hours.

Kelly said all the charges were dismissed in court. “They were

based on a phony statement. They made them up.”

The complaint alleges Baker, who originally inspected the premises in 2006 and issued a certificate of occupancy, later engaged in an ongoing effort to “intimidate, harass, and annoy” Doscher and his investors. Town officials “reinterpreted” the code to make what they previously said was legal, illegal, according to the lawsuit.

This year, the town is at it again, apparently in response to complaints about conditions in Montauk on summer nights, especially weekends, in general.

The Tuna has been hit with nine noise violations so far by code enforcers “following the political directives of the day,” Kelly said.

The violations are based on noise levels -- decibels at the Tuna’s property line. The suit notes the methodology fails to allow for ambient noise from the nearby ocean waves, vehicular traffic, pedestrians on the street, and noise emanating from a nearby public beach.

Doscher maintains his civil rights of association, procedural and due process rights, and freedom of speech were all violated by the town’s and Baker’s actions.

Elizabeth Vail, the East Hampton Town Attorney, said she would not comment on pending litigation.

Throne-Holst, Zeldin Differ On Minimum Wage

By Rick Murphy

Their showdown is more than a year away but Lee Zeldin and Anna Throne-Holst are finding they differ on plenty of issues.

The latest is a proposal that, when it is officially enacted, will raise the minimum wage for fast food workers in New York State to $15 by 2021.

Throne-Holst, who finishing off her term as Southampton Town Supervisor supports the initiative, which is championed by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and almost surely will become law.

Congressman Lee Zeldin, a Republican who took the First District seat from Tim Bishop, opposes the measure, saying it is a blatant attempt to curry favor within the industry that ThroneHolst hopes will translate to votes come Election Day 2016 when she seeks to unseat the incumbent congressman. ““It’s terribly irresponsible and bizarre public policy to raise to $15 the minimum wage for fast food

workers. It’s blatant pandering to try to score political support,” Zeldin said.

The increase pits the fast food industry against its own employees. Most fast food franchises have individual owners, small businessmen who say they won’t be able to make ends meet if they have to pay their workers that much.

Throne-Holst countered, “Too many Long Island families are in the industry are struggling to live and work in the area.”

Dunkin’ Donuts CEO Nigel Travis told CNN the proposed increase is “absolutely outrageous.”

Travis said most Dunkin’ Donuts workers are teenagers working their first jobs, and they move on to better paying work once they get more schooling and experience. “It’s going to affect small businesses and franchises,” he predicted.

“No one who works full-time should live in poverty. But for too many New York minimum wage workers, this is their reality,” Throne-Holst said in an email

blast to supporters. She was been aggressively raising funds for the upcoming battle with Zeldin – pundits are already calling it one of highest profile Congressional races in the country. “When our fast-food workers earn wages that keep them in poverty, they can’t afford essentials like housing or keeping food on the table,” ThroneHolst said.

Zeldin is one of many who are questioning why only fast food workers are slated for the higher wages when there are numerous industries that employ beginners for the minimum wage.

“For what reason would one industry like fast food be selected to receive a minimum wage that is 67 percent higher than the minimum wage for other industries?” Zeldin asked.

“That is the law as currently proposed,” Throne-Holst said.

The minimum wage in New York is currently $8.75. It is $7.25 nationwide.

Tr a v i s s a i d h e s u p p o r t s governments making “reasonable increases to the minimum wage, but a hike to $15 per hour represents a 71 percent increase over the current state minimum.”

Zeldin said the proposal would hurt the local economy.

HUNGRY? Find Somewhere to Eat in one of The Independent’s Dining Columns! . . .or on our website

“Every new tax, fee and burdensome regulation harms the business climate in our area. Prices rise. Service will be reduced as staff hours are cut.”

Throne-Holst said this week many fast food workers hold other jobs as well, and studies have proven the money is pumped back into the local economy.

Zeldin agreed with business owners who say the higher wages will increase unemployment. “Some employees will lose their jobs as a result of this government policy as businesses continue to turn to technology to cut costs.”

“This isn’t only our moral obligation, it makes good economic sense too,” Throne-Holst said in the e-mail blast. “When workers can provide for their families, they also can shop at our local businesses and inject millions of dollars into our economy. It’s a win-win situation.”

The New York Wage Board voted unanimously for the increase, which would cover some 180,000 workers statewide and affect fastfood chains with 30 locations or more in the United States.

The three-member board was formed at the behest of Governor Cuomo in May after the state legislature turned down his proposals for minimum wage increases for most workers.

Its decision does not need legislative approval, but requires approval by the state labor commissioner, which is expected, The New York Times reported.

Senior Affordable Housing Complex Sued Again

By Rick Murphy

Two former residents of the Windmill Village II have filed a federal suit against the Town of East Hampton, the corporate entity that built and runs the affordable senior housing complex. Several involved individuals are named in the suit as well.

The suit seeks damages for Eleanor Cobb and Joan Holden related to a persistent mold problem at the complex, the dangers and actual illnesses suffered by the plaintiffs, and the violation of their constitutional rights by management when they complained about the mold problem.

East Hampton Town is named because it “insinuated itself into a position of interdependence with the Windmill defendants that it was a joint participant in the challenged activity and the Windmill defendants performed a public function traditionally the exclusive prerogative of the State,” according to court filings.

Michael DeSario, a member of the assorted Windmill boards and financial entities formed over the years is also named, as is Gerry Mooney, who manages the complex.

Thomas Ruhle, the director of the town’s housing office, is also named in the suit, filed in the United States Eastern District Court by the attorney Lawrence Ellis Kelly.

Holden and Cobb are seeking $1 million for the violation of their first amendment rights and an additional million in compensatory damages for violation of their rights under the Fair Housing Act. In addition, Kelly will attempt to pierce the veneer and for the first time fully delve into the curious relationship between the town and the Windmill entities, which he calls “for profit” entities, and attempt to unveil how the financing for these housing projects is arranged and which (if any) individuals benefit financially.

E a s t H a m p t o n To w n h a s historically professed a hands-off approach to low-income housing, passing the chore onto either the East Hampton Housing Authority, a quasi-governmental agency, or LLCs like Windmill I, Windmill II, St. Michael’s Windmill, The Windmill Housing Development Fund, and so on.

One constant in all of the entities is DeSario, who has become the

defacto provider for East Hampton’s meager low-income housing program.

The court papers allege, “In testimony before the East Hampton Town Board on April 21, 2015, THOMAS RUHLE stated that there was a ‘partnership’ between the Town and Landlords such as the WINDMILL DEFENDANTS. Plaintiff alleges that is evidence of the symbiotic relationship . . . and explains how the defendant WINDMILL DEFENDANTS were able to extricate $1.8 million from the town’s equity position and the town’s abandonment of the $1.8 million in value in restrictions safeguarding the town’s interests in the real properties.”

Obituary Audrey Patricia Pickens

Audrey Patricia Pickens of Sag Harbor Hills, a retired New York City public school Guidance Counselor, died from cancer on Saturday, August 1, at her home. She was 72 years old.

Born August 31, 1942 in Queens, New York, she was the daughter of James and Barbara Brannen, longtime residents of both St. Albans, Queens and Ninevah Beach, Sag

Harbor.

Known popularly as “Pat”, she grew up surrounded by celebrities and strong families. A brilliant student, she graduated from St. Catherine of Siena grade school, then qualified for admission to the prestigious Bishop McDonnell High School in Brooklyn, from which Pat graduated in 1959. Next, she graduated from the State University of Oswego, New York in 1963 where her classmate was well known

author, Ken Auletta.

Upon graduation, Pat toured Europe with her Aunt, Dott Halsey, then returned to a teacher’s position at the Howell Road School in Elmont, Long Island. From there, Pat joined the New York City Board of Education as a Title I teacher, working in both public and parochial schools. In June, 1964, she married William Pickens III, whom she had met in Sag Harbor in 1962, a young businessman and former United States Air Force officer in Japan.

His Yale educated grandfather, Dr. William Pickens, Sr. was a founder and organizer of the NAACP

in 1909. Their marriage produced three children, Pamela Alison, William IV and John Montier.

Beloved by all who knew her, Mrs. Pickens enjoyed her profession and the pristine beaches of Sag Harbor. Along with raising children, she earned a Masters Degree in Guidance Counseling from Queens College in 1969. The family resided in Laurelton, Queens for nearly 40 years and Sag Harbor for more than 50 years. As a young lady, Pat joined the “Brownies” and “Girls Scouts” where she developed enduring friendships and life skills.

She was also active in the Queens chapter of Jack & Jill of America, Inc., a nationwide African-American family, leadership organization.

Pat served as president of her chapter. Pat and her husband, Bill, traveled the world throughout their 51-year marriage, including Europe, Brazil, South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, China, Japan, Korea and the Caribbean, especially Barbados. Two months ago, they visited Bermuda.

Upon retirement in 2003, the Pickens spent each winter at the Brannen family home in Orlando, Florida.

Pat was active in community life on the East End, helping to launch the historic 1986 Sag Harbor Initiative. Their deliberations took place in this very auditorium with the late Betty Friedan and E. L. Doctorow.

Pat also served on the Board of Overseers of Southampton College at the behest of family friend, Chancellor, Angier Biddle Duke. She shared her expertise and love of life with numerous organizations. Among them were Tony Duke’s Girls and Boys Harbor in East Hampton, the NAACP, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Alvin Ailey Dance Company, PBS, the East Hampton Healthcare Foundation, the Sierra Club and the Paul Robeson Foundation, of which her husband was founding Trustee and President.

Brush Fires Unless we get rain before you read this, the area is in dire danger of brush fires. Firefighters from several companies fought to extinguish a brush fire off Old Riverhead Road in Westhampton on Monday.

Pedestrian Seriously Injured A Hispanic male crossing Montauk Highway near Stop & Shop in Hampton Bays at about 5 AM Sunday morning was struck by a vehicle and injured. The driver, operating a Sunset Taxi, told police he did not see the man – there were apparently no tickets issued.

The victim was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital where he remained as of press time.

Southold DWI A Mattituck man was charged with driving while intoxicated in Southold on Sunday morning, town police said.

Matthew Dellaquila, 24, allegedly ran a red light on Route 25 at about 4:15 AM. Police observed his vehicle crossing double lines, and said the driver failed sobriety tests.

Felony DWI On Saturday the Southampton Town Police arrested Nicholas Delmonte, age 24, of Shirley, and hit him with a felony count of Driving While Intoxicated. Police said Delmonte was obser ved failing to stop for a stop sign at the intersection of Shinnecock Road and Wakeman Road in Hampton Bays.

Upon investigation, it was found that he was intoxicated. He was charged with DWI felony due to a prior charge in 2013. Delmonte was processed at police headquarters and held for morning arraignment.

BNB Awards Grants

Bridgehampton National Bank (“BNB”) this week announced the winners of this year’s BNB Business Scholars Award. The selection process was the most competitive since the scholarship was started, with applicants from 16 different high schools.

The BNB Business Scholars for 2015 are: Madison Flotteron (Bay Shore High School), Frank Leotta (Westhampton Beach High School), Stephanie McAleer (Smithtown High School West), Meagan Loyst (Sachem High School North), and Courtney Murphy (Mattituck High School).

“I am so proud of the accomplishments of our local students,” says President and CEO Kevin O’Connor. “The BNB Business Scholars program recognizes the talent and ambition of students across Long Island High Schools.

This modest scholarship is a small contribution to the bright futures ahead of them. I hope that some of them may find their way back to us in the future,” he added.

The BNB Business Scholarship is

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

open to seniors from high schools in the communities of BNB’s 40 branches. The scholarship was initiated as part of the celebration of the Bank’s 100th anniversary in 2010. Each year, five local college bound seniors are awarded a $1,000 scholarship to pursue studies in a business field.

The application requirements include having applied to a two or four year college with a plan to study business, finance, economics, or accounting, as well as answering an essay question. This year the question was, “What is the role of a community bank and how can it impact the people and businesses in your town or village?”

A panel of BNB professionals reviews the students’ transcripts, reference letters, and the short essay, using a point scale to determine the awards. The applicants’ names are masked during the evaluation process. The volunteer review committee consists of a mix of BNB staff members representing various areas of banking and operations.

services from Montauk to Manhattan. It ranks as one of the top community banks in New York, according to American Banker.

The Bank has a long history of strong results, and a reputation for working as partners with local businesses to help them succeed.

BNB also has a rich tradition of involvement in the local community, supporting programs that promote local business, the environment, education, healthcare, social services, and the arts.

BNB continues to grow, and expects the scholarship program to expand as well. After its recent acquisition of Community National Bank, BNB has $3.4 billion in assets and 40 branches serving Long Island and the greater New York metropolitan area.

This will create even more opportunities for BNB to offer its scholarship to help fund the educations of our future businessmen and businesswomen of America.

New Prez After 11 years at the helm, Bill Crain is stepping down as president of the East Hampton Group for

Wildlife. President since its 2004 founding, Crain will continue on as VP. Well-known wildlife photographer Dell Cullum will take over the reins. Ellen Crain will continue as the group’s secretary/ treasurer.

Born and raised in Amagansett, Cullum is devoted to the protection of East Hampton’s deer. He’s highlighted problems with East Hampton Village’s deer sterilization program.

“I will continue to work hard for East Hampton’s wildlife,” Crain said, “but after 11 years, it’s time to give another person the chance to lead the group, and I am proud that a person of Dell’s courage, talent, and dedication has agreed to do so.”

The East Hampton Group for Wildlife is a 52-member group dedicated to promoting an appreciation of wildlife and humane, non-lethal means of solving human/ wildlife conflicts. In 2006, the group commissioned the first-ever townwide deer census. Among its other accomplishments, the group served as the lead plaintiff in the 2014 State Supreme Court decision to stop the village and town from proceeding with a deer cull.

RICK’S SPACE Hold The Fries, Dopey News Item: New York State is poised to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $15 an hour, which translates to $31,200 a year plus benefits.

This changes the entire landscape for high school students who aspire to go the college, as this actual conversation between a guidance counselor and a typical senior at one of our great local high school clearly indicates.

COUNSELOR: So tell me, Kristi, what are some of the career paths you are contemplating?

KRISTI: Well, I’ve always been interested in music and I have been in the school band for six years, ever since I started high school. So I do have a background in music theory and I understand Berklee College Of Music has an excellent program, so I was thinking of applying there.

COUNSELOR: Hmmmmm . . . let me ask you something. Do you know what “Sinfonia Concertante in B-Flat Major” means?

KRISTI: Well, like, I play the tambourine so I don’t think I have to worry about what that means, okay? When Mr. Larsen is directing the band he looks at me and shouts “now” and then I like, bang the tambourine against my hand, ok? So . . .

COUNSELOR: Good. Good. You’re a smart young lady. Now, let me . . . let me ask you another question just, you know, as part of the process we are going through.

KRISTI: OK. COUNSELOR: Do you know what, “Hurry up with them fries, ho!” means?

KRISTI: I dunno . . . I guess some kind of fast food thing?

COUNSELOR: Good, good. Now, let’s suppose, just for the purposes of this little exercise you and I are enjoying, that Berklee may not have an opening for you.

KRISTI: Well, why not? My Dad says his little girl can be anything she wants to be!

COUNSELOR: Exactly! But lets

just say Berklee . . . that . . . well, let’s say it’s like a college basketball team. Let’s say Berklee already has a number of tambourine players and that . . .

KRISTI: better than me? You ask Mr. Larsen – I’ve never missed my hand! Never! Ok once I did and I slapped myself in the head with the tambourine but . . .

COUNSELOR: Not better, goodness no! Let’s just say they have young musicians already there who can play Concertos in every single tambourine key, even the flat ones.

Now, tell me what this means: “I need two cheeseburgers, hold the pickle on one, no ketchup, and a large order of fries.”

KRISTI: There you go with them fries again. I’m gonna guess . . . I’m gonna guess . . .OK, is it French fries?

COUNSELOR: Bingo! And . . . and . . . what about those burgers you are holding?

KRISTI: I’m holding them in my hand instead of the tambourine?

COUNSELOR: Good, good, and . . .

KRISTI: I smash them together like symbols?

COUNSELOR: Cymbals. That’s right, Kristi, well sorta. Let me ask you something. What did Mrs. Rogers tell you when you told her that you wanted to go to college?

KRISTI: She said I would end up doing remedials.

IN THE NEWS

COUNSELOR: And do you know what that means, Kristi?

KRISTI: I think she meant I would remedy stuff for a living when I grow up.

COUNSELOR: How much do you think you can earn doing that?

KRISTI: About twenty hundred?

COUNSELOR: Kristi, you are a very bright child indeed. Suppose I were to tell you in my professional opinion you could earn upwards of $30,000 to start working right near here, and you could start tomorrow and never have to go school again.

KRISTI: Golly! I could buy an iwatch and an i-phone and a Taylor Swift!

COUNSELOR: First you have to answer this very, very important question, Kristi. Now I want you to think very carefully before you do: How many McNuggets are there in a six-piece order?

KRISTI: Ummm . . . is it bigger than a bread basket? Ummmm, does it come with fries? Okay . . .

Okay I’m gonna say . . . SIX! COUNSELOR: You win! You win!

It’s a scholarship! All expenses paid!

What are you gonna do with all that money you’re gonna earn?

KRISTI: Probably spend it at Burger King. And get a new tambourine.

I want to write some sympathies for miners.

Insight

Schumer Takes A Bold Stance We applaud our Senator, Chuck Schumer (D), for bucking President Obama and his own party.

Schumer refuses to back the controversial deal Obama insisted on striking with Iran as part of some dubious legacy he thinks he is leaving behind of his failed presidency.

What he had done is given Iran carte blanche to develop nuclear weapons and the financial aid to do so.

The so-called “teeth” of the agreement, which was to be stringent inspections to assure Iran complies with the terms, were so watered down during negotiations that what is left will make it impossible to detect exactly what is taking place.

Instead, the deal will put the burden on inspectors to uncover cheating and to try to prove that Iran has a nuclear enrichment program during a 24-day dispute period during which Iran could simply hide the evidence. Meanwhile, sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy – and robbed the government of the money it needs to develop a nuclear program in earnest – will be lifted.

Worse, the agreement forged isolates Israel, our only true Mideast ally, from the rest of the world, which has been Obama’s secret objective all along.

Should Israel strike Iran, they will be branded as a rogue nation – even if its security agents uncover a bomb-making facility.

Yes, Schumer is Jewish, and he also represents a state with a strong Jewish community, but stopping this agreement before it takes effect should cut across party, cultural, and religious ties. It’s about loyalty -- standing with our ally and friend, just as we know Israel will have our backs in the coming years as we seek to confront ISIS and other radical movements in that region.

Obama was taken to task by Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu because when he had a chance to bring Iran into strict compliance and turn the world away from the threat of nuclear war he inexplicably reversed fields. Like a petulant child, our president is pulling the plug on what should be an enduring friendship.

Yes, Iran could surprise us and become an ally in the war against ISIS – but don’t count on it.

We need congress to rally against and stop this agreement, regardless of party lines.

No question where Obama’s dependable lackey Tim Bishop would be standing on this issue – exactly where Pelosi/Obama tell him to stand.

Thank God Congressman Lee Zeldin is now in Washington to represent our district and lead the charge against this agreement.

In the boardroom you always fired a woman even if she was the stronger candidate, taking away the women's chance for a victory based on measurable merit.

The Indy ran this cartoon in 2004. How prescient!

What you presented as a fair contest was really just the same old story; good old boy politics keeping women shut out of the corporate boardroom.

5. Bridgehampton Gateway PDD, a zone change proposal to allow a large shopping center to be built along Montauk Highway at Bridgehampton and very near Kelli’s Pond fresh water lake. Benefits offered are not clear at this early stage. The supervisor has gone so far as offering up her own plans for this project which she and her board will be reviewing at a later date.

All of this has happened in a relatively short space of time under the tenure of Supervisor Anna Throne Holst. Do you see a pattern here? I do. It is called dangerous and reckless overdevelopment with complete disregard for the environment and the quality of life of the residents of our town.

If Southampton Town is to continue to be the beautiful and healthy place that people who live here are proud to enjoy, and people flock to in the summer because of our obvious remaining benefits, then something has to be done to stop this development madness before it is too late.

Clearly, this is not going to happen under Supervisor Anna. However, we have an election coming up, and we can hope that the new candidates offering themselves up will display common sense and concern for our town and the environment.

A good way to start would be to enact a moratorium on Planned Development Districts and zone changes, drastically modify them, or eliminate them altogether.

JUST ASKING

IN THE NEWS

By Karen Fredericks

Will Donald Trump be able to win women’s votes?

Gail Goldman I’d definitely consider voting for him. He wasn’t rude or nasty to anyone at the debate. In fact he was treated incorrectly. I see nothing misogynistic about him. He comes at anyone who comes at him. They say he was ungentlemanly? Well, Megyn Kelly was unladylike.

Sheila Wolbrom As a TV personality he draws so much interest because of “The Apprentice.” That’s why his ratings are so high and why he gets all the attention he does. I’m more interested in his international policy and views on current issue than with his issues with women.

Jane Springer I would hope he’d have trouble. He has very little respect for women. Actually, I think he has very little respect for anyone but Donald Trump.

Personally, I wouldn’t even let him shine my shoes.

Judy Mencher I love him, his feistiness and independence.

But it will be hard to get women to vote for him. And I don’t think he’ll address it. He thinks he’s better than that. I don’t think he’ll win and I don’t think he should. He’s not Presidential. He won’t get that far.

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 400 words.

emailing our members a link with a request for signatures in support of a rental registry. CBPOA members receiving the email were told that the “Board of Directors had been approached by a few members about sending out information concerning a rental registry for the Town of East Hampton.”

Instead of forwarding a link to an unbiased view of the controversial rental registry, CBPOA board sent a petition blatantly calling for signatures in support of a rental registry.

(I note the information included at the link site did not contain your editorials from The Independent in which you describe the rental registry as a “red herring” and a failure in Southampton.)

An independent survey sent out by CBPOA might have been appropriate. A petition for a rental registry under the guise of “sending out information?”

Completely inappropriate.

Gary Grille, CBPOA Secretary, emailed the petition. He has been asked to take

immediate steps to 1) Retract his email, 2) Name all the nameless people involved in misrepresenting the true intention of the request to the CBPOA board, 3) Reach out to the 850+ members of CBPOA to let them know the petition does not have the endorsement of the board, and 4) Make clear to the entire CBPOA, as well as the town board, that just 300 signatures on a petition clearly do not represent a majority of our membership, let alone the thousands of registered voters in the Town of East Hampton.

LYNN E. SCANLON EDITOR’S NOTE: We, like everyone, are impacted by the number of illegal rentals in our community. People are desperate for a solution. Unfortunately the registry gives the illusion of doing something but in reality is just another level of bureaucracy.

We need boots on the ground – a concerted effort 24/7 (yes, that means nights and weekends). We don’t need more paper Continued on Page 23.

shufflers making honest homeowners jump through hoops.

Morality Lacking?

Dear Rick, As a devout atheist, I am humbled by our Benedictine Nun Sister Joan Chittister’s insight concerning abortion as well as our Pope Francis’ progressive, realistic views of individuals and their right to be themselves.

This is a far cry from what had hardened me to the damage done to mankind in the form of the many superstitions created by man, each with the title of a different God or phantom of some sort as the omnipotent end all.

All one has to do is look at the damage done to mankind through the ages and right up to the very present, fighting and killing in the name of the various chosen invisible invented ghosts.

Following are the words of Sister Joan Chittister: “I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed.

And why would I think that you don’t?

Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro life. That’s pro birth. We need a broader conversation on what pro life is.”

--Sister Joan Chittister, Benedictine Nun, Author & Speaker.

expressing myself in a “convoluted” fashion. This false accusation comes from somebody who thinks that the following sentence fragment is unmistakably clear . . . “he (Trump) has managed to corral a considerable following of simplistic haters by spewing the base derogative they love to hear and love to hate”.

So what are you trying to say, Arlene?

That a Trump fan both loves to hear what he has to say and doesn’t like it also? Syntax, Arlene, syntax. Get used to it.

Let’s go further. Trump has an ego and that’s all one has to focus on in order to reject what he has to say because, anyway, what he has to say is fodder for “simplistic haters” such as myself.

First, the ego bit: What, Hillary doesn’t have one of those, like - big time? Please, Arlene, give us something about Hillary’s purity of political purpose. Truth is, Hillary is practically drooling to be Prez and it’s NOT because she has any Mother Theresa in her. Not a drop, in my humble opinion.

Now for “simplistic” hating: Trump said that Mexico isn’t sending us “their best”.

According to Arlene, that’s hate speech. If it IS, I want more of it, because it’s the TRUTH, more than it isn’t the truth.

Who are we getting out of Mexico, out of those who sneak over illegally? Doctors?

Lawyers? Engineers? Computer scientists?

Rocket scientists? If this country is lucky, we are getting a cohort of basically honest, simple working people.

But we’re not that lucky, so we get

www.indyeastend.com

criminals in the thousands also - by the tens of thousands actually -- and people like Arlene would be wrong to dispute that.

What we can’t do in this country nowadays is to speak the truth - the unvarnished, un-politically correct truth, because Leftists like Arlene might pounce on those of us who believe the truth by using the terms “simplistic”. P.S. It’s a clinched tactic of the Left to allude to complexity in an issue . . . so as to distinguish themselves from the Right.

The Left is smarter, don’t you know.

The Right is cretinous, un-educated, un-sophisticated and therefore cannot understand the issues of the day the way those issues should be understood. Stop being pompous, Arlene, and we might then be able to have a conversation. In the meantime, learn how to write more clearly.

While the (HPAI) H5 bird flu virus may never enter the food system and sicken humans, it’s still safer, healthier, and kinder to choose plant-based foods rather than animal-based ones. Visit www.

HEATHER MOORE PETA FOUNDATION

Infected Poultry Dear Editor, The best way to prevent the spread of bird flu -- and save countless animals from pain and suffering -- is to stop raising and eating animals. Chicken and turkey factory farms are so crowded and filthy that they are perfect reservoirs for disease. Tens of thousands of birds are packed in sheds teeming with bacteria.

When one bird gets sick, the disease can quickly spread to the other birds in the shed.

It’s also possible that the virus

The Cheney/Bush debacle invasion of Iraq, removing a despot Saddam Hussein but nevertheless the sole controlling power, opened up the entire region to the chaos we have today and gave birth to ISIS. Don’t we ever learn?

Bathing + Bacteria = Ick

“Crammed” House Raided

Maybe they should rename it “Not So Fresh” Pond. Emma Rose Elliston Beach in North Sea was closed by the Suffolk County Health Department for four days last week. The closure, due to excessive bacteria levels, was announced on August 4 and continued through the weekend.

According to Suffolk County Commissioner of Health Dr. James Tomarken, bathing in bacteria-contaminated water can result in gastrointestinal illness, as well as infections of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat.

On the shores of Big Fresh Pond, Elliston was re-opened by Monday morning.

Meanwhile, in Calverton, yet another East End water body bears a cyanobacteria bloom warning. Health department officials warn against swimming or wading in McKay Lake in Calverton, now that the presence of a bloom has been confirmed.

Cyanobacteria are naturally present in lakes and streams in low numbers; however, they can become abundant, forming blooms in shades of green, blue-green, yellow, brown or red. They may produce floating scums on the surface of the water, or may cause the water to take on paint-like appearance.

Contact with waters that appear scummy or discolored should be avoided. If contact does occur, rinse off with clean water immediately.

Seek medical attention if any of the following symptoms occur after contact: nausea, vomiting or diarrhea; skin, eye or throat irritation; or allergic reactions or breathing difficulties. Keep pets out of the water, too.

Blue-green algae persists in Fort Pond in Montauk, Wainscott Pond in Wainscott, and Maratooka Lake in Mattituck. Extra precautions should be taken to avoid direct exposure to the waters of Lake Agawam in Southampton Village because, according to officials, levels of cyanobacteria and associated toxins are very high.

On the morning of August 5, the East Hampton Town Ordinance Enforcement Department, assisted by the town police department and Fire Marshal’s Office, executed a search warrant to investigate suspected overcrowding and Building Code violations at a house at 17 Ocean Boulevard.

Based on an investigation, including the execution of the warrant, the town determined that the house has been occupied illegally by 25 young adults, all of whom crammed into the house to work as counselors at a local summer camp. The building owners and their representatives now face 61 charges, including multiple counts of overcrowding and partial occupancy.

Most of the house had been altered without the required building permits or inspections, making for a dangerous living situation, officials say. The house had eight bedrooms, twice the number it was legally permitted to have. Several bedrooms lacked the required emergency escape windows, and some rooms had air conditioners installed in a manner that would prevent occupants from escaping in the event of a fire. All the bedrooms contained bunk beds.

In addition, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were missing, the swimming pool was improperly secured and filled with green, unsanitary water, and nine vehicles were parked in the driveway and on the lawn.

The Town Code allows four vehicles, unless the house is owneroccupied. Two of the camp counselors arrived during the inspection and acknowledged they were in charge of the premises and the employees living in the house.

Inspectors issued appearance tickets to Doris E. Rosen, 60, of Jericho, and David S. Skolnik, 32, of Plainview, charging them with dozens of counts related to the unsafe and illegal aspects of the house, the property, and its use.

Inspectors also served appearance tickets to Rosen and Skolnik as representatives of the company that owns the house, HCDC Holdings LLC of 85 Crescent Beach Road, Glen Cove.

They are directed to appear in Town Justice Court on Monday to answer the charges. Town officials have also alerted the Suffolk County Waste Water Management Department, as the sanitary system at the house is not designed to handle eight bedrooms.

“This investigation uncovered a host of unsafe living conditions in our community,” said Betsy Bambrick, the Director of the Ordinance Enforcement Department. “I praise my staff for taking the self-initiative to discover potential violations and conduct the thorough follow-up necessary to successfully obtain a search warrant and to ultimately carry out the investigation swiftly and professionally.”

The Independent broke the mold story in January 2014 and inspected five residences and one of the common basements shared by the units. Mold was visible coming through the heat vents and floorboards and on bathroom walls.

The tenants were ordered to remove their personal items from the basements: those who didn’t returned home to find them piled in

the courtyard. Workers ripped the ceiling insulation and contaminated walls from the basement, piled the debris in the yard, and sprayed water and bleach on the visible mold.

The court papers allege that “While ELEANOR COBB was being transported to an ambulance, WINDMILL DEFENDANTS MANAGER GERRY MOONEY made a show of tossing out her belongings, yelling that it was all junk. The materials included harness racing memorabilia including her late husband’s World Cup trophy“ and other valuables.

problem at the 12 year-old facillity and it is believed it was caused by drainage problem resulting from changes made to the original site plan. According to documents from the town’s planning department obtained by The Independent, the changes, which included realignment of the basement stairs, were made because the builder wanted to save money.

Cobb was allowed to relocate and use her housing subsidy at a new location. Holden, aggressively seeking a solution to the recurring mold problem, was ostracized, removed from her position as the tenant representative (though she

had near-unanimous support) and eventually evicted. In fact, in a email obtained by The Independent, Ruhle stated his office would “choose” the tenant representative.

The plaintiffs allege the defendants, “failed to follow federal law in making reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices and procedures in dealing with tenant handicaps arising from the precarious health conditions existing at the housing complex . . . and neglected to institute any basement moisture maintenance program or proactive preventative health program for the elderly at risk population.”

This is the second pending suit filed by Windmill II residents. A group of tenants sued the town and Windmill officials two years ago.

The court later dismissed the action against town officials, but allowed the suit against the Windmill entities to move forward.

Elizabeth Vail, the East Hampton Town Attorney, said town officials offer no comment on pending litigation. Neither Ruhle nor DeSario comment about pending litigation, both have said in the past.

Win Some, Lose Some

By Emily Toy

At last night’s Southampton Town Board meeting, several public hearings were held to consider adding different properties to the town’s already healthy Community Preservation Project Plan.

Properties included lands from East Quogue Development LLC, which totaled about 0.47 acres, designated in the Shinnecock Bay Target Preservation Area. Other properties included lands owned

by Joseph Gazza in North Sea and Westhampton. Parcels tallied up to nearly four acres, with two lots in North Sea and one in Westhampton.

In North Sea, the first lot falls under the Great Hill Target area of the CPPP. The Great Hill area is one of the largest contiguous blocks of Pine Barrens forest remaining east of the Shinnecock Canal. The second lot is designated in the Aquifer Recharge Target Preservation Area, which facilitates the adequate provision

of water to residents and promotes the health, safety, and welfare of the town.

In Westhampton, about 1.5 acres of land are up for potential donation by Gazza. The land is designated in the Central Pine Barrens Plan Core Preservation Area to safeguard ecological and hydrological resources.

The public hearings on accepting the properties are scheduled for September 8 at 6 PM. Over in Sagaponack, the Madoo Conservancy Inc., owns about two acres on Main Street, which includes buildings of significant historic value and gardens. The conservancy, according to a resolution outlining the acquisition, has expressed an interest in selling the property to the town for $600,000.

Burying Ground Project The Old Southampton Burying Ground Project got a little boost this week, as a grant in the amount of $8540 was awarded to the historic

www.indyeastend.com

division of the town clerk’s office to preserve historically significant headstones.

With the grant money coming from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, the restoration project of the 52 headstones will be finished much sooner.

Youth Bureau Funding The New York State Office of Children and Family Services has provided annual funding for youth activities related to Southampton Town Youth Bureau, Parks and Recreation Department, Police Department and more.

At last night’s town board meeting, the board was to accept funding from the state office in the amount of $29,167. Although the original budget was for $24,000, the remaining amount will be receipted to the Youth Bureau.

The bitter disagreement about whether the Town of East Hampton should allow parking by the publicly owned South Flora Nature Preserve in Amagansett took a turn for the worst last week when it was learned existing parking signs had been changed over the years, apparently illegally. Signs that limited parking between May and October during daylight hours were systematically replaced with blanket No Parking signs. The town is removing the bogus signs and examining whether more “No Parking’ signs were added in the neighborhood where none existed.

EAST END SWIMMING POOL COMPANIES MERGE

The tenth annual three-mile Strides for Life to benefit Lung Cancer Research Foundation was held Sunday in Southampton. The race, which took place around the scenic Lake Agawam, was the first ever of its kind to support lung cancer research and is the signature event of the Lung Cancer Research Foundation. Southampton Mayor Mark Epley was honorary chairman for the event.

The event was dedicated to raising awareness about the devastating effects of lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women worldwide, and to ensuring that lung cancer research receives the funding it needs. Over 1000 runners attended the event included participants from the Hamptons community, as well as the tri-state area and beyond, and included professional runners, first-time runners, teams, families, children, current and former lung cancer patients and survivors. Over $400,000 was raised for the Lung Cancer Research Foundation.

Shelter Island Snags First-Ever Title

By Rick Murphy

The Shelter Island Bucks emphatically tapped themselves as one of the best teams in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball L e a g u e h i s t o r y, w i n n i n g t h e regular season title and taking the championship series.

The Bucks needed only two games to eliminate Westhampton in the best of three final series after finishing the regular season with a 27-14-1 mark.

The big bats were booming for the Bucks. On July 31 playing at home, they humbled the Aviators 10-3. The following day on the road, the Bucks finished off Westhampton 12-5.

Standing at the center of Shelter Island’s run to the 2015 championship, Eddie Haus, who attends St. Mary’s College, doubtless attracted the attention of professional scouts. He was named the season’s Most Valuable Player after leading the league in hitting and named MVP of the AllStar Game as well.

The Bucks took whatever drama

there was away in the final game by scoring five first inning runs.

Jonathan Moroney doubled home two of the runs to put the Bucks ahead 4-0. For the series, Moroney went 5-8 with a home run and five RBI to take home Championship S e r i e s M o s t Va l u a b l e P l a y e r honors.

Spencer Bunting took it from there with a sensational start to his outing, holding the Aviators hitless for the first four innings.

In Shelter Island’s win at Fiske Field, all 10 runs came in the first five innings while starter Zack Bahm, who attends Columbia, silenced Aviator bats.

THE BODY

The ace of the staff, Anthony Alicki, was slated to start the third game if necessary. He was rewarded with the league’s Pitcher Of The Year award after producing a stellar 7-0 record during the regular season, tying the record set by two other pitchers in the HCBL’s eight-year history.

On The Water Da Dum . . . Sharks Are Biting!

Shinnecock Bay/Ocean/Inlet The fluke have been biting in both the bay and ocean and taking both small and large baits. Large strip and live baits have accounted for most of the larger fish in the ocean. The keeper fluke in the bay are taking all the usual baits including the gulp.

Best bite continues to be on the incoming tides. The area west of the bridge still producing best. Keeper striped bass have been become a bit tougher to find lately. Clam chummers near the bridge are lucky to get one keeper to 20 caught. Sea bass bite is decent out on the reef.

A good amount of keeper fish in

the mix taking clam baits as well as baits meant for fluke. The deeper wrecks have accounted for some better fish along with some porgies.

Bluefish are lurking on the bottom of the inlet taking baits drifted for bass along with tins. Wire trolling in the inlet during the early morning hours have accounted for a few bass and blues on umbrella rigs. Snappers are in most creeks, marinas and the canal.

Offshore Sharking is still a bet within five miles of the beach. Plenty of fresh mackerel baits around. Put out a can of chum and they will be under the boat in no time. Thresher, Makos, Hammerheads, Browns, Blues and White are being accounted for.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

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

Fog!

We’ve had some foggy mornings and as we make the “clubhouse turn” towards cool air and warm water, we will have more. For those of a more scientific-bent, fog that forms when water is warmer than the air is called “steam” fog (Fall).

Think of that pot of spaghetti water you are boiling. Fog that forms when the water is colder than the air is called “advection” fog (Spring).

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

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

Well, with the dropping price of radar, boats in the mid-20’ range can now be found to have radar aboard. If you do have radar aboard, read the manual and get familiar with gain controls.

I won’t waste space in this newspaper lending advice to a skipper that already has a state of the art system aboard on how to use it. Not surprisingly however, the advice below holds for the 65’er with radar and chart overlay capabilities as well as the skipper in the 17-foot open boat with a 90-hp Merc on the stern. When the fog rolls in . . .

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

While underway and making way, that is, engine in gear, give one “prolonged” blast on your whistle (four to six seconds). This is specified in the Navigation Rules, Rule 35(a). In fact, the Rules say “not more than two minutes apart.” Let me make it plainer. No LESS than every two minutes.

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

If necessar y to anchor due to visibility (none!), “boats less than 39 feet 4 inches (12 meters) in length may make an efficient sound signal at intervals of not more than two minutes.”

In short, it is not specified for boats under 12 meters. Boats larger than 12 meters at anchor must clang their bell five times quickly

followed by one prolonged and one short (one second) blast in the whistle.

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

So, now you are properly

www.indyeastend.com

communicating with other boats but you do want to get in out of the fog if you can. How? Don’t, as some old chestnuts might advise, hug the shore. As the fog intensifies and you draw closer and closer to shore, you know what will happen. Of far more danger, don’t “hug the shore” when you are outside the Inlet. If you get caught in the surf line (see five above), you will be capsized and now there is imminent threat to life.

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

August 12, 2015

41

are in extreme danger of having a collision at sea.

If you have some visibility, see #’s one and two above. The slower speed will help in another way as well – you can hear better.

Lastly, if you have those canisters of compressed gas as your boat’s horn/whistle, you will likely run out of compressed air before you run out of fog. Think about getting a simple whistle.

Get the “pea-less” kind in case you have to worry about your spittle freezing one cold and foggy day . . . and blow, baby, blow!

BT W, 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 . . .”

a player goes in he has to work his way out.

Here are a few tidbits you hopefully are aware of: Adrian Foster, Houston RB, has a serious groin injury. Obviously you drop him way down on your draft board, but how far? Sometimes guys like Foster come back earlier than you would think and are so good they immediately step back into a starting job.

Chargers’ Tight End Antonio Gates has been suspended four games for using performanceenhancing drugs. Gates had a super season last year at age 35, and now we know why. Move him down your board.

The New York Giants report Victor Cruz is healthy again.

That gives the Giants one of the top receiving corps in the league along with budding superstar Odell-Beckham, who statistically was the best performing fantasy receiver in the entire NFL. The team also has Rueben Randle and emerging tight end Larry Donnell. In addition, the team signed Shane Vereen, one of the best pass-catching running backs in the league.

What does it all mean? Knock Beckham and Cruz down a couple notches on your draft board – there are only so-many footballs to go around.

Big Ben Roethlisberger said Pittsburgh is going to throw the ball more this year and expects to average 300 yards per game.

We believe him, because he threw more than ever before last year.

That means this stud receiver Antonio Brown may well be the top overall pick in PPR (PointPer-Reception) leagues. After all, Brown caught a record 129 passes last year and he’s still getting better.

Marc Trestman is the new coach of the Baltimore Ravens, and the word is he’s getting along well with QB Joe Flacco.

That means Justin Forsett moves way up on the Running Backs chart – Trestman loves to throw the ball to his RBs, as witnessed

by Matt Forte, who caught 100 last season when Trestman was his coach. Forsett, in fact, could be a borderline low first to mid-second round pick. Also remember Steve Smith is still on the team. He may be 36, but he can still bring it. Rookie Breshad Perriman, the team’s first draft pick, is in a good situation and should put up good numbers.

M a k e y o u r d r a f t l i s t n o w.

Remember, it is ever changing and evolving. Move players up and down your board depending on what you read, see, and hear.
