Got Mud? Welcome To Campaign 2014

By Kitty Merrill

It’s about to get real. With a little under three weeks to Election Day, state and national political committees have upped the offensive in the hotly contested race for Representative pitting incumbent Tim Bishop (D) against challenger Lee Zeldin (R).

Turn on the TV, try to check out a vid on YouTube, check the inbox (spam folder), or even go to the mailbox and you’re likely to find a ferocious flurry of glossy brochures bashing Zeldin and beatifying Bishop, who’s been identified as one of the Dems’ most vulnerable candidates nationwide.

At a debate earlier this month, the pair traded barbs over so –

called dirty campaigning. Neither promised to remove the mudslinging ads, however.

Eyeing the incumbent as easy prey, the Republican National Committee began its Bishop blasting blitz at the end of 2013, almost a full year before the election. Near daily email “releases” characterize the Democrat as a mere lapdog of the president and House Minority Leader and former speaker Nancy Pelosi and excoriate the congressman for blindly voting for Obamacare and the Wall Street bailout.

Bishop, who was elected to the House of Representatives in 2002, has been campaigning under a cloud of ethics questions. He was

called one of Washington’s “most corrupt members of congress” by the non-partisan watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The Office of Congressional Ethics, called upon to investigate allegations that Bishop secured permits for a wellheeled constituent in exchange for a campaign donation, concluded, “There is substantial reason to believe violation of federal law occurred.”

Clad in shirtsleeves in television ads, Bishop refutes -- with a Nixonian “I am not a crook” affect -- the other side’s assertion that he was investigated by the FBI. He was, and the agency declined to prosecute.

Lee Zeldin and Tim Bishop are in a bare knuckles brawl for congress.

On the offensive, the state and national Dems have come out with an array of ads pummeling Zeldin as anti-woman and pro-wealthy – he’ll vote to deny well care for woman and place additional tax burden on the middle class, the ads say. He’ll vote to privatize Social Security and Medicare; a claim the candidate says is a lie.

While Zeldin wonders why Bishop hasn’t done more to move the renourishment of area beaches along, his opponents paint him as anti-environment. The Bishop camp has tied Zeldin to the toxic dumping scandal in Brookhaven To w n , w i t h t h e c o n t e n t i o n that he’s accepted thousand of dollars in campaign donations from the company accused of the dumping. The advocacy group EPL/ Environmental Advocates named Zeldin, who was elected to the New York Senate in 2010. “New York’s Environmental Enemy No. 1.” As a freshman state senator in 2011, he was given the “oil slick” award by the organization.

With the mud flying fast and furious between the two camps, spattering and disgusting citizens along the way, what’s a voter to do?

This week East Enders have the chance to see and question the pair for themselves at forums hosted in Westhampton and Montauk.

The League of Women Voters of the Hamptons is hosting a U.S. Congressional candidates debate at 7 PM tomorrow night in the Westhampton Beach High School auditorium, 49 Lilac Road. On Sunday afternoon from 1 to 4 PM the Concerned Citizens of Montauk host their annual forum at the Montauk firehouse.

CCOM will also provide an opportunity for voters to quiz and judge other candidates for midterm election. State Senator Ken LaValle and Assemblyman Fred Thiele have been invited to attend.

Thiele is seeking to hold his District Two State assembly seat against Republican candidate Heather Collins and Conservative Brian DeSesa. LaValle is being challenged by the Democrat Michael Conroy.

Peruse Playhouse Plan

★

October 15, 2014

Important news: Tomosynthesis with digital mammography yields better cancer detection rates. ad: blumenfeldandfleming.com

The Montauk Playhouse Community Center Foundation will host the third in its series of community information meetings to detail updated plans for the completion of the currently unfinished space inside the historic Montauk Playhouse. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 22, at 7 PM in the Senior Nutrition Center at the Montauk Playhouse Community Center at 240 Edgemere Street.

At the meeting, the new plans will be presented and discussed in detail, followed by a Q and A session and refreshments. The entire community is invited to attend the meeting to learn more about the foundation’s exciting new plans.

Two prior meetings were held in August, to reach second homeowners and seasonal Montauk visitors. This third presentation is intended to target year round residents, whose schedules may have been too busy, in-season.

The content of the presentation at each meeting is identical.

Last fall, the MPCCF board took a fresh look at the plans for completing the Playhouse. A new community needs assessment survey was distributed to determine the types of programs that were not only needed, but financially supportable. The results of the survey showed overwhelming community support for both an Aquatic Center and a large, multi-use space for cultural events, conferences, and more.

Highlights of the new plan include an Aquatic Center that can serve thousands annually and still be supported by a smaller number of users during “off season” months and a flexible-use Cultural Center that can be reconfigured as needed to offer cultural and social programming as well as providing a sizeable space for meetings and conferences.

“We cannot accept that the Caen Memorial erected a sexual assault as a symbol of peace,” a spokesman for the group is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail. “We therefore request the removal of this sculpture as soon as possible.”

“The sailor could have laughed with these women, hugged them, asked them if he could kiss them with joy,” the group said. “No, he chose to grab them with a firm hand to kiss them. It was an assault.”

A petition from Osez Le Feminisme to remove the statue has attracted about 700 signatures.

Is there some smart lawyer out there who wants to represent some deserving American 90-year-olds in a class action against Osez Le Feminisme? Here’s my case: On August 25, 1944, the U.S. 4th Infantry Division rolled in to liberate Paris. They were risking their lives for the French who, by the way, have never gotten around to saying “thank you.”

Do you know what happened to our boys?

They were assaulted. Not by the Germans, but by the grandmothers of the women who now belong to Osez Le Feminisme. Our GIs were showered with kisses from these ecstatically grateful French women, who rushed up to them and kissed and groped them without asking permission.

“It was an amazing sight, an amazing feeling,” wrote someone who was there. “So many woman in the streets, headed for the ChampsÉlysées and the Arc de Triomphe, stopping only to tongue kiss and fondle the American liberators.”

There was sex. Many young 18-year-old American soldiers found themselves seduced by grateful champagne-drinking French women who were 36 years old – twice their age. Today when a 36-year-old woman has sex with an 18 year old, she’s usually a teacher at James Madison High School in Brooklyn.

It got so bad in Paris in 1944 that a magazine aimed at the troops called “Stars and Stripes” showed

pictures of cheering women during liberation parades, accompanied by headlines such as “Here’s What We’re Fighting For.” The magazine even published “useful” French phrases, such as the translations for “I am not married” and “You have charming eyes.”

I see a class action suit here.

If you’re an 88-year-old man who was an innocent 18-year-old when you were kissed and seduced without your permission by a French woman, and if the sex and the exploitation by these beautiful willing women has caused you to have bad dreams and nightmares all your life, join me.

Let us sue the feminists of Osez Le Feminisme for the sins of their horny grandmothers.

To Review Rental Registry

By Kitty Merrill

Next Tuesday the East Hampton Town Board will review proposed rental registry regulations. If adopted – and a line in Supervisor Larry Cantwell’s proposed budget anticipating $50,000 in revenue from the registry portends an assured adoption – the new law would require anyone who rents residential property to register and receive an identification number.

Failure to use the number in any advertisements would result in a fine. The fee would have to be paid every time a lease expires or is renewed.

In addition to paying an as yet undisclosed fee, the landlord would have to provide an affidavit swearing the rental property complies with building code – he could hire a professional engineer or architect to swear to compliance, or request an inspection from the town’s building inspector.

Additional mandated information includes the number of rooms and the number of bedrooms and their square footage in the rental property, the total number of people who will occupy the property, the proposed rental period, an acknowledgement of responsibility for refuse removal, and, according

to the draft law, “Such other information and/or documentation as deemed reasonably necessary by the Building Inspector.”

If any of the information required on the rental registry application changes, the property owner must “immediately” notify the town by delivering a sworn written notice of the change plus more money for an update to the registration. Unless revised, this means if a couple renting a home has a baby, they would have to have their landlord reapply for a registration number.

Or, by the letter of the draft law, if someone who is a renter dies, his or her landlord will have to notify the

town and the deceased’s survivors would pay a fee to update the registration.

It seems reasonable to presume that any fees will be passed from landlords to tenants. As written, the update fee will be required even if long-term tenants have yearly leases where an annual rent increase is the only change.

Although the town budget doesn’t include funding for any additional employees in the chief building inspector’s office, he will be responsible for maintaining the registry.

A key section of the code relates to “presumptive evidence.” It lays out what characteristics of a property might spur the presumption that a one-family dwelling is being used for illegal multifamily occupancy.

Multiple mailboxes, gas or electric meters, cable hookups, over three vehicles registered to an address whose owners have different last names, more than three waste receptacles set out for pickup more than twice a week, separate entrances, partitions segregating a house into separate living spaces, and bedrooms with locks are all examples of presumptive evidence.

The characteristics are designed to give teeth to code enforcers looking to crack down on illegally over-occupied homes or houses where shares are sold over and over throughout the summer.

Supporters of the proposed registry have long cried out for relief from share houses and illegally over-occupied homes that diminish quality of life and can pose a threat to public safety in residential neighborhoods.

On the other side of the coin, opponents rail against the intrusion into their private homes. Still others question how the law will be implemented and enforced, believing only the lawful will bear the burden of fees while those looking to game the system will continue to do so.

Yet another argument looks askance at the conflict between government’s desire to provide affordable housing for locals and a registry that will end up costing those who can just afford rent more money. Finally, opponents point to a similar registry in Southampton Town that in seven years has reportedly captured only 10 percent of rental properties in the township.

Citizens advisory committees in Springs and Montauk -- hamlets hardest hit by illegal shares and multi-occupancy – have discussed the proposal and in both cases members were split in opinion about the registry.

The proposal will be on the agenda for next Tuesday’s “brown bag” work session.

RIP 631?

By Kitty Merrill

Are you a 324, a 329, or (shudder) a 907? A 283 or a 287? A 369 or a 208? There was a time when a telephone exchange was a way to identify an East Ender’s longevity in the region. Old timers rocked the 324 in East Hampton and in many hamlets like Montauk, folks only need mention the last four digits of their telephone numbers because the first three were universal. Over time new exchanges were added as the population and number of telephone users increased.

Along came cellphones and Suffolk’s new 631 area code. Got a 516 cell number? You must still be sporting a flip phone. Just remembering the numbers for a single family’s multiple phones is enough to scramble the brains of any technophobe worth his or her salt.

And it’s about to get even trickier.

REAL ESTATE

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

Staff from the New York State Department of Public Service is calling for a new area code overlay in Suffolk County. An overlay means 631-ers can keep their numbers, but any new numbers would get a new area code.

The North American Numbering Plan Administrator (that’s a thing?) predicts the 631 area code will run out of assignable telephone numbers by 2016. DPS staff recommended the overlay option to the New York State Public Service Commission.

There are two ways “number exhaust” can be remedied – the aforementioned overlay affecting all new telephone numbers or a geographic split, meaning half the county keeps the 631 area code while the other half gets (and has to learn) a new one.

Before any solution can be implemented, the commission must solicit public comment. A toll free opinion line has been set up to make offering input easy. Call 1-800335-2120 if you’ve got something to say. Comments may also be sent electronically to the commission’s secretary. Email secretary@dps. ny.gov.

Big Duck Ranch is located at 1012 Flanders Road.

Earlier this month, Southampton Town released the much anticipated trail guide for the town, something that was years in the making.

Officials announced on October 3 the release of the long-awaited Southampton Trail Guide, charting all of the town’s more than 300 miles of hiking trails.

Developed by the town’s Geographic Information Systems D ep a r t m e nt , t h e t r a il g u i d e highlights trail systems such as the Paumanok Path. The guide also gives parking locations as well as other important features such as restrooms, kiosks, and water access points, meant to be used by trail enthusiasts of all experience levels.

“The guide will help community

members stay healthy while enjoying Southampton’s unique and beautiful open spaces and natural resources,” said Councilwoman Bridget Fleming, who serves as liaison to the trails group. “We are deeply grateful to the tireless volunteers and town staff who worked together to bring this guide together.”

Southampton Trails Preservation Society President Glorian Berk said the society is very excited that a town wide trail map will now be available for purchase, according to a press release from earlier this month.

“This is a tool that we will use and one that hikers often asked about when we led hikes in the past,” she said. Throughout the year, STPS, a not-for-profit organization which maintains many of the local trail systems, hosts public trail hikes typically twice a week, especially in the eastern portion of the town.

The guide is available at the town clerk’s office at 116 Hampton Road in Southampton, and at the Parks and Recreation Department at 6 Newtown Road in Hampton Bays. $10 for one map and $15 for the complete set of east and west maps.

This Saturday, all are welcome to the official Grand Opening Celebration of the Long Island Duck Farming Exhibit at Big Duck Ranch in Flanders. Starting at 11 AM, there’ll be a dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by live music and light fare.

Since 2009, the Friends of the

The Big Duck itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and overlooks Reeves Bay in Flanders. Originally the vision of Long Island duck farmer Martin Maurer, the Big Duck was designed by the Collins Brothers, former Broadway set designers, and crafted by locals George Reeve, John Smith, and Merlin Yeager in 1931. It’s moved several times before nestling into its current perch. Admission is free and all are invited. To donate items, contact Lisa A. Dabrowski, the Big Duck Museum Co-Curator

Hopeful Signs For Real Estate Market

By Rick Murphy

It’s all about the rule of supply and demand.

The Schommer report, prepared

by Associate Broker Jason Schommer for the Corcoran Group contains a key bit of important real estate news: inventory is down.

As every sophomore who has ever read McConnell Economics knows, that can only mean one thing: sales are increasing.

There has been a 15 percent decrease in Listing Inventories over the past year in The Hamptons, according to the report. “This is reflected by the strength of sales activity during the third quarter in all areas,� Schommer states.

The report lists sales activity by hamlet for the third quarter. In Amagansett, the highest price paid was $10.15 million for 551 Montauk Highway, a vacant parcel slated for development.

I n B r i d g e h a m p t o n , a 81 Meadowlark Lane sold for $10.7 million after being listed for $11.95 million. According to public records the owner is Marc Frankel.

In East Hampton, Further Lane

has emerged as the home of the mega-deal. Consider #62, which transferred for $97 billion on June 30. The parcel was part of the biggest real estate deal in the history of the Hamptons, sold in tandem with two adjacent parcels for $147 million. Harry Rosenstein, a hedge fund manager, has been identified in published reports as the buyer.

The estate of Christopher H. Browne and his partner Andrew Gordon (also deceased) was the seller. Another parcel on Further Lane -- 420 – transferred for a mere pittance on August 15: $21.5 million.

In North Haven two vacant parcels, 29 and 31 Cedar Avenue sold for a combined $8.1 million, the original asking price was $9.25 million for the pair, which total about two acres. The E. Steinberg Trust sold to 29 Cedar Avenue L.L.C., according to county records.

Sagaponack, one of the toniest addresses in the country, had a number of pricey sales in the third quarter, including four on Parsonage Lane: 289 ($8 million), 287 ($7 million), 285 ($6.5 million),

and 216 (8.5 million). A house on Davids Court, listed at nearly $8 million, sold for $7.5 million.

In Southampton Village, 16 Gin Lane and an adjacent parcel sold for almost $62 million; the asking price was $68. Hedge Fund manager Scott Bommer owned the property plus additional building lots, according to published reports.

Pan Cantwell Spending Plan

By Kitty Merrill

It relies too much on “rosy” revenue projections. This week, members of the East Hampton Town Republican Committee surfaced with a critique of Supervisor Larry Cantwell’s proposed budget for 2015.

In a press release calling for greater transparency in the budget process, Committee Chair Tom Knobel opined the proposed budget relies heavily on one shot revenue sources, raids on reserve funds, and unrealistic revenue projections to stay under the state mandated tax

levy cap.

The committee, predominantly silent since Cantwell took office and not particularly vocal when the Dem was campaigning last fall, pledged this week to assume an “increasingly active oversight role” during upcoming budget deliberations. Committee members will “ask the tough questions,” and hold the town board accountable.

Referring to the fiscal debacle perpetrated by the McGintee administration resulting in a doubledigit deficit, the committee offered,

“East Hampton taxpayers cannot afford another round of budgetary blunders and mismanagement.”

Up w a r d s o f $ 2 m i l l i o n i n forecasted revenue is unrealistic, the GOP asserts. A reliance on fees will increase the cost of living for taxpayers “providing pain, but no gain.”

“Supervisor Cantwell’s budget proposal risks the dearly bought fiscal soundness of our Town with reckless raids on needed reserves, reallocation of debt, a massive increase in fees, and other questionable moves,” Knobel said.

“After all the hard work that former Supervisor [Bill] Wilkinson did to fix our budgetary woes, it is troubling that Supervisor Cantwell is proposing many of the same unrealistic budget gimmicks that got us into trouble in the past.”

The committee chair contends Cantwell’s budget relies heavily on “massive fee increases,” and includes $50,000 in revenue from a rental registry that has yet to even go to public hearing. Asked to articulate the massive fee increase, Knobel listed the rental registry plus dockage and energy fees, sand fence permit fees, urban renewal fees, alarm fees, planning fees, and justice fees and fines.

Town budget officer Len Bernard (a Republican) played an integral role first in ferreting out the fiscal

predation of the McGintee era, then in righting the ship as Wilkinson’s right hand man. He was a key author of Wilky’s budgets and implementer of his financial policies.

Cantwell kept him on when the administrations changed, meaning Bernard wrote the budget for 2014 for the Republican supervisor and this fall for the Dem. He doesn’t see where the committee finds a reliance on surplus and reserves, and wrote in an email response to the release, “The budget for 2015 uses less surplus/ reserves than 2014 -- $800,000 in 2014 versus a little under $700,000 in 2015.

“It also does not include the public safety revenue increase the Town expects to receive from the county, $105,000, as a result of [Legislator Jay Scheniderman’s] work (I believe Southampton and Riverhead did use them in their 2015 budget). Larry did not want to include it since the county budget has not been adopted.

Very cautious.”

The draft doesn’t include almost $100,000 in property lease options for solar energy creation. “The contracts are not signed, so we did not want to use the revenue that was not locked in, although we are almost 100 percent certain that we will get it,“ Bernard said. “We also did not include the sale of another asset that will generate $500,000 in revenue because the contract has not been signed.”

Bernard called mortgage tax projections “very conservative.”

Although $4.7 million is expected in 2014, Cantwell’s budget predicts $4.1 million for next year.

Justice court fees “recognize reality,” Bernard said. The budget reduced fees by $300,000 for next year because this year the fees are running less than the $1.225 million anticipated in the 2014 adopted budget.

“If anything,” the budget officer concluded, “this budget could have easily included another $1 million in revenue that we are probably 90 percent assured of receiving, but the decision was to take the conservative and prudent approach.”

There is no “massive increase” in fees, Cantwell added. The budgeted rental registry revenue represents less than two tenths of one percent of projected revenue, the supervisor stated, describing his tentative budget as “a well-structured and balanced financial plan for 2015.”

It uses less surplus than adopted budgets for the prior two years.

Dream Green Winner John Howard is smiling a little brighter these days. Even though, he is not the actual winner of the top $50,000 prize for this year’s Dream Green Extravaganza, he is a proud parent and grandparent.

Howard, a host at Claudio’s Restaurant in Greenport, said he’s been buying a ticket every year for 15 years for his daughter, Pamela, and two granddaughters, Erin and Mollie, all of whom live in Marysville, Ohio.

“My family comes to visit the North Fork every summer. That’s when I buy the ticket,” explains Howard, a Cutchogue resident.

“What a surprise to see them take the top prize,” he added.

When asked how they plan to spend the money, Howard says he honestly doesn’t know. “Both of my granddaughters are in college now, one attends the University of Notre Dame on a scholarship and the other one attends Xavier University. I am sure the winnings will be put to good use.”

The Eastern Long Island Hospital Auxiliar y hosts the Dream Green Extravaganza, now in its 22nd year. Selling no more that 2900 tickets at $100 each, the ELIH Auxiliary awards $147,500 in prize money to 65 lucky winners.

The winning tickets are drawn at the East End Seaport Maritime Festival in Greenport.

“Eastern Long Island Hospital is grateful to the entire community for the success of Dream Green,” states Paul J. Connor III. “Special thanks go out to Helene Fall and Helen Latham, Dream Green Extravaganza Co-Chairs; and all

By Rick Murphy

RICK’S SPACE Staying Alive

I don’t want to be a snowbird.

That means, for those who don’t know, people from up here who flee the cold weather by heading south.

It’s one thing if you are rich and don’t work. Then, you can spend the summers in your Hamptons “cottage” and go down to West Palm Beach for the winter.

I could never understand how a “cottage” could have 10 bedrooms, but the “cottages” near the ocean up here often do. To me, a cottage had one bedroom and one bathroom.

Then again, the newer mansions south of the highway now have more bathrooms than bedrooms.

Check out some of the real estate ads – the new trend is to have eight bathrooms and 10 and one-half baths and so on. This puzzles me.

Suppose, just suppose, every person in the house has a bathroom to themselves. Keep in mind most of us grew up with one bathroom, even though we had four siblings and oftentimes a grandpa with a bad bladder. We made do.

So suppose eight people live in a

house with 10 and one-half baths?

Who gets the other 2.5? Do some people need more than one? Does the mailman get his own? And what is a half bath? Does it have a toilet but no sink or worse, vice-versa?

While I’m on the subject, why do all public bathrooms have urinals?

I’ve never seen one in a private home, ever. You can be in the biggest, most lavish house ever built, with 16 bathrooms, and not one will have a urinal? Why? On the other hand, I have been in several houses that had bidets in some of the bathrooms.

Unfortunately for me (and the homeowners) I didn’t know what they were and treated them like regular toilets except with an interesting twist. Men, I think our battle cry should be “A Urinal For Every Bidet!”

Getting back to snowbirds, the favored destination has always been Florida. There are more old people in Florida than there are at a million dollar Bingo tournament. The state’s tourism council comes up

with catchy come-ons like, “Florida: America’s Sweet Senior Retirement Temptress.”

I think the state motto is “Florida: Where Old People Go To Die.” Undertakers are moving to Florida in record numbers: it’s like panhandlers migrating to California during the Gold Rush – there’s gold in them thar senior citizens.

I may be old and dying, but as long as I stay in New York and brave the snow and cold at least I can pretend I’m still young.

The other alternative, as many local people have found out, is to move to the Carolinas. This has created a unique dialect as Bubbies from Springs hold every day conversations with the locals there: “I’m a fixin’ to git me some breakfast.”

“I’m gonna have me a Bonac burger, Bub!” “Well I’ll be dipped in gook if I’d ever heard such thing!”

“You about as weird as a cattywompus and twice as ugly.”

“Your backside’s suckin’ putty balls.”

“Your head looks like a chicken’s ass in pokeberry time.”

(The translation, by the way, is “Good morning, hope you are having a nice day.”)

To me, each part of the year brings special joy. As Justin Beiber once wrote, “to every thing there

IN THE NEWS

is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

The winter is a time to weep, because football season is over.

Spring is a time to plant; Summer is a time to reap that which was harvested; Fall is a time to die from e coli because you insisted on planting an organic farm and that meant the fertilizer you used was a little too organic for your own good.

I will never willingly move to Florida. Florida is the only place where alligators and crocodiles live side by side, and the reason is obvious: those old people with replacement hips don’t run well.

Florida is the only place I know where they have built thousands of manmade lakes and ponds to make sure the alligators and crocodiles have plenty of places to multiply.

Being from Brooklyn I never much cared for Queens and now there are more people from Queens in Florida than there are Floridians.

In fact, no one I know was born in Florida. They all moved there when they were 55 or older. When you go to the movies, the slightly risqué ones are rated PG-55.

I like New York, because people talk like me here. Plus, I will never get old as long as I live here because if I got old I would move to Florida.

It all makes perfect sense.

Boiling Over

Hampton Bays residents have reached a boiling point over the issue of illegal dwellings in their hamlet, and the resulting strain it puts on the school district and taxpayers.

Though those residents have been the most vocal -- lambasting the Southampton Town Board for not doing enough to curb the problem – it’s a scene playing out all over the East End. Flanders, East Quogue, Tuckahoe – it’s happening all over.

Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst bears the brunt of the criticism, which is unfortunate. We have found her to be the most proactive of the local politicians when it comes to not only dealing with the problem but also understanding the complexities of the issue.

Front and center is the county Department of Social Services and the culture among the many immigrants that require assistance. It is not only welfare recipients that are placed in converted motels – it is Section Eight Housing that provides landlords with a guaranteed rental income.

Section Eight houses are mostly single-family residences all over the East End, in most every neighborhood.

Once occupied, the legal tenant, often struggling to make ends meet, invites another family -- sometimes a relative, sometimes not -- to share the dwelling. Rooms are oftentimes rented out on top of that.

Throne-Holst has successfully stood up to DSS in the past, but the debate rages about our responsibility towards the less fortunate.

Compounding the overcrowding is the complexity of code enforcement and the legal hurdles involved in prosecuting violators.

The solution must begin at the federal level – we must, simply put, close the borders at all cost. Those wanting to come to America must do so legally.

It is simply intolerable for a hard-working American to get a bill for $5000 for a

Help Needy Students Dear Editor, On Oct 6th, I visited the Hampton Bays Elementary School on behalf of the East End Retired Teachers Association and presented a check for $150. to help needy students.

The meeting included the school Social Worker, Theresa Escobar, and the Principal, Marc Meyer.

Geno Critic Dear Editor, I was fascinated to read that in the October 1 issue a letter-writer wrote “Dear Mr. Mundo, You are an idiot.” (I guess that’s not libelous). Peter Mundo’s brilliant “Geno’s Days Numbered For Gang Green” column was wise enough to question Geno’s decision-making days before he missed a team meeting because he couldn’t decide what time zone he was in.

Interestingly, the other side (page 32) of that very same page of Mundo’s prescient

night in the hospital yet someone in this country illegally gets the best medical care we have to offer and walks away without paying a cent. There was a time when it happened occasionally and we accepted that, but it’s an outrage that it has become the norm.

Locally, unscrupulous businesses that illegally employ workers must be identified and punished. Every employer must be able to prove all his employees are legitimately on the books. Currently there is virtually no attention paid to this type of abuse.

We need more boots on the ground -- on weekends and at night. People work during the day, whether they are here illegally or not. Our municipalities need to change how they deploy existing enforcement personnel, and they need to hire more.

Our school districts must do a better job of policing themselves. Educating a child that is living in a school district illegally, for better or worse, is robbing the property owners of that district. It is unfortunate, but towns and schools must work together to identify landlords that abuse the system, and carefully scrutinize Section Eight dwellings. If it takes painstaking surveillance so be it.

People are coming to this country to get free medical care. They are coming to get their children a good education; they are coming to make money, but oftentimes not paying taxes on their earnings. They are coming to give birth here without any medical insurance. And, as many of us have learned the hard way, they are driving vehicles without licenses and without insurance.

It is painful to paint all of the hardworking people that have come to live the dream with the same brush, but because our government has been so lax for so long, it has come to this.

Make no mistake about it – the Middle Class is fleeing the East End. The exodus is real, and the reasons are clear.

The outcry in Hampton Bays, like in Springs, and so many other hamlets, is deafening.

It’s time for politicians to act as the leaders they were elected to be. column, was a sidebar headlined “Do Plants Think?” It stated that “plants can sense the world around them and they react to what they experience” -- apparently better than Geno Smith, who couldn’t “sense” what time it actually was in his San Diego location, couldn’t “react” to the hour and his coach’s scheduled team meeting time, and get to the meeting on time.

I do hope he’s able to get to the church on time on his wedding day.

I think some plants probably can “sense” time better than Geno Smith. At least green plants show they know the difference between night and day by turning, twisting or opening their leaves toward the sun at the appropriate times.

(of these contaminants) mean in terms of environmental or public health.

The number of chemicals contaminating our environment is growing at an exponential rate – with approximately 15,000 new chemicals and biological sequences registered every day.

There is rising concern among researchers about the way older compounds are altered in the environment, sometimes taking on new and more dangerous forms.

The development of new compounds and the increasing discovery of unexpected contaminants in the environment means that the nation desperately needs a better system for assessing and prioritizing chemical exposures but that the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) has not been updated since its adoption in 1976.

W h i l e t h e TS C A re q u i re s t h e Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to maintain an inventory of registered industrial compounds that may be toxic, it does not require advance safety testing of those materials. Of the 84,000 compounds registered, only a fraction have ever been fully tested for health effects on humans.

Despite the alarming trends, Congress has not sent an environmental law to the president’s desk for signature in 18 years.

Here on Long Island, we should be particularly concerned as we are located on top of a sole source aquifer. All of our drinking water comes from below us and what we dump into the ground ultimately and inevitably finds its way into our drinking and surface waters. Suffolk County Health officials have documented a 200 percent increase in nitrogen along with a doubling of the concentration and a quadrupling of the frequency of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in our drinking water supply wells.

Over 115 pesticide-related compounds have now been detected in our drinking water supplies along with an alarming array of emerging contaminants such as personal care products and pharmaceuticals and Nassau and Suffolk Counties now have more Super Fund sites (254) than any other region in the State.

Because contaminants move from ground water to our surface waters, we can now see a host of impacts along our shorelines. Local clam, scallop, lobster and oyster populations have all been reduced by over 97 percent, the number of impaired waterways grows longer each year and this summer there were over 140 beach closures due to unhealthy bacteria levels.

JUST ASKING

IN THE NEWS

By Karen Fredericks

If you had a million dollars to give to charity which one would you choose?

Lauren Zaino I’d donate it to organizations supporting getting rid of puppy mills and legislation to outlaw them. They’re inhumane and should be illegal. I have a Pomeranian from a puppy mill I adopted from ARF. She’s great but she’ll never get over the cruelty she was subjected to.

Noah Agarwal I would definitely choose the WWF. The World Wildlife Fund because I love animals. The WWF helps to save many endangered species like Pandas. And who doesn’t love Pandas? And tigers in Thailand and India. They work for the benefit of so many species.

Curt Launer First I would give part of it to ALS research and I’d still dump the bucket of ice over my head.

Next would be The North Shore Health Care System, The American Heart Association, The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and the United Jewish Appeal.

Olivia Keany I would definitely choose to support an organization that did research and that supported people with AIDS and people that are HIV positive. There are so many people who are affected by the disease and they need a lot of help and resources.

It is nice that some county officials have talked about the importance of clean water but their actions remain troubling. Raiding the Drinking Water Protection Fund to balance the budget, cutting the budget for the Department of Health’s Environmental Quality Division, selling off open space as one-shot revenue deals and cutting already underfunded open space programs to reduce debt service while at the same time showering favored developers with unsustainable taxpayer funded subsidies

calls into question their commitment to improved water quality.

Our elected officials need to do better.

Not just because it is the right thing but because it is their responsibility to protect our health, safety and welfare. Clean air, clean water and a healthy environment are our collective right. Perhaps, our elected officials should begin to pursue these goals with the same zeal that they court local developers and campaign contributors.

Race For A Reason

October 15, 2014

www.indyeastend.com

Independent / Isabella Ayer and Elyse Pellicano

On October 5, the community came out in force to support Race For A Reason. Organizers of the event, Westhampton Beach High School students Ariana DeMattei (Backpacks For Fellow Students) and Alex Kravitz (Blessings In A Backpack) joined forces to raise money for their organizations.

Over 200 runners and walkers flanked Dune Road departing from Cupsogue County Park while others stayed behind enjoying the music, food and entertainment, ready to cheer the runners on as they crossed the finish line.

The event’s objective was to create a community event. Children 13 and under were invited to participate at no charge to enable those children these organizations raise money for to participate.

To help support this community wide event Westhampton Beach High School Cheerleaders were on hand as was Boy Scout Pack 261, dozens of WHB-HS volunteers as well as WHB-HS student Maddie Seitles who sang the National Anthem.

The organizations share a common goal, to help elementary school students maximize their opportunity for educational success.

One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to support children within the East End community.

12 Years Experience

Bennett’s Nashville Bound Georgia Bennett, a senior at East Hampton High School, seen above with her chorus director David Douglas, has been named to the 2014 All-National Mixed Choir Honor Ensemble sponsored by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME). She will join 670 of the most musically talented and skilled high school students in the United States for a once-ina-lifetime experience: performing on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee, on October 29.

Named the “best of the best” out of approximately 2.5 million students nationwide from local, district and state music festivals, the students will rehearse a repertoire of remarkably challenging music.

Georgia was selected on the basis of a recording she submitted last spring and was one from among thousands of students around the countr y who auditioned. She has also participated in the American Choral Directors’ Northeast Regional and All National Choirs and the NY State All-State Chorus.

The NAfME All-National Honors Ensembles, consists of a concert band, symphony orchestra, mixed chorus, and jazz ensemble, organized by members of the National Association for Music Education. The concert band and symphony orchestra will each have approximately 15 0 i n s t r u m e n t a l i s t s , t h e jazz ensemble will have 20 instrumentalists, and the mixed chorus will have approximately 350 vocalists.

Cardiac Kids Win In Overtime

By Rick Murphy

It doesn’t usually come easily for Westhampton, but the Hurricanes know the important thing: how to end up with the “W” next to the school name.

The Hurricanes thought they had the game with Eastport-South Manor clinched in regulation time when Patrick Dean ran 13 yards for a score with four minutes left to put his team on top, 24-21. But the Sharks mounted a late drive culminating with Nijay Brown’s field goal with only seconds remaining that sent the game into overtime.

The Sharks promptly marched down the field and scored, and Brown converted the extra point.

That left Westhampton with a near impossible task: score a TD

and deliver a two-point conversion afterwards.

The Cardiac Kids did both. First Dylan Laube scored on a three-yard run. Then Henry Moreta tried to score from three yards out for the conversion. He drove left, was stopped cold, broke outside, and managed to find the end zone.

The victory gives Westhampton a 4-2 record in Division III good for fourth place. ESM fell to 2-3.

Westhampton gets a bye this week.

Riverhead got back on track a week after losing its first game of the season, The Blue Waves improved to 4-1 by squeaking by a stubborn Newfield team, 20-15 in Division II action.

The Wolverines, only 1-4 on the season, came tantalizingly close to upsetting the locals. Credit Ryun

Moore, the Waves’ star running back, who scored the winning touchdown on a nine yard run. The Blue Waves then stifled a last ditch drive by Newfield – the Wolverines failed to convert a fourth and three from the 10 yard line as time was running out.

Moore ran 18 times for 125.

Quarterback Ken Simco threw for a TD. Riverhead gets East Islip (3-2) at home Saturday. Kickoff is slated for 2 PM. In Division IV action Hampton Bays fell to Center Moriches 308, Mercy knocked off Greenport/ Southold 32-13, and Bayport/Blue Point walloped Southampton/ Ross 34-0. The Mariners travel to Wyandanch Saturday for a 1:30 PM tiff. Greenport/Southold plays at Port Jefferson (2 PM) and Mercy travels to Shoreham/Wading River, also a 2 PM affair.

market, and the YES Network was a huge revenue generator. But, as other teams have built their own networks, and smaller market teams receive money from the luxury tax system, the Yankees’ stranglehold on free agents has diminished. Now, other teams are able to hold onto their best players for longer. By the time they get to free agency, if they do at all, they are older, and their prime has passed.

It’s become imperative for teams looking to sustain long-term success to build through the draft and the international market. At the moment, the Cardinals and the Giants are the best examples of this.

Ironically, the two teams are playing each other in the National League Championship Series.

The Cardinals are in their fourth straight NLCS, while the Giants are chasing their third World Series Title in the past five years.

Despite the obvious need to build internally, the Yankees currently have the 23rd ranked farm system in baseball (per Baseball Prospectus). While Mets fans have been frustrated with recent seasons, Sandy Alderson deserves credit for building the Mets farm system into a top-10 product (ranked eigth by Baseball Prospectus).

wherewithal to spend on top scouts, international camps and prospects, etc., Cashman has failed drastically.

The Yankee model of winning by outspending the competition is dead. Brian Cashman has been unable to adjust. It’s shown on the field, as the Yankees just missed the playoffs for the second straight year, the first time that’s happened in 21 years. Despite this, Cashman earned a three-year extension. Yes, he’s been a loyal Yankee soldier.

But, the Yankee on-field product has suffered. It will continue to struggle until there is a different approach from the front office.

a Ultr

When the news came down late last week that the Yankees had extended General Manager Brian Cashman’s contract for three years, I thought to myself, why? The Yankee Way has always been billed as World Series or bust.

If that’s honestly the case, Cashman has been a failure.

From 2001 to 2013, the Yankees had, by far, the highest payroll in baseball every season. On average, their payroll was $42 million higher than the team with the second highest payroll. Many GMs would salivate for a chance to have the resources that Cashman has had at his disposal over the past 15 years.

Cashman took over as Yankees GM in 1998. The Yankees won three World Series Titles from 1998 to 2000, but that was a team put together by GM Stick Michael in the early-to-mid 90’s. Michael drafted or signed Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, and traded for Paul O’Neill.

Cashman rode the Michael gravy train in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. He has had a decade and a half to put the Cashman stamp on the Yankees, and it has resulted in one World Series ring. By the way, it is important to note Cashman was against signing Alex Rodriguez following the 2007 season. In hindsight, that would have been the right decision for the long-term, it is entirely possible Cashman doesn’t have a 2009 World Series Title without A-Rod. He batted over .400 in the ALDS and ALCS, and hit six home runs in 15 postseason games.

Last offseason, Cashman spent $475 million on Masahiro Tanaka, Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Carlos Beltran. For all that money, the Yankees finished with a pedestrian 84-78 record, 12 games back of the first place Orioles.

Baltimore’s payroll was nearly $100 million less than the Yanks.

Cashman did not give the Steinbrenner family a good return on its investment. The Yankees spent an average of $2.4 million per win.

The Orioles spent $1.1 million per win, the Angels were $1.5M/win, the A’s were $943,000/win; even the Mets were only $1.1M per win.

At the turn of the millennium, the Yankees could outspend the field to bring in the best free agents.

The State Of Race Lucius Ware, the president of the local chapter of the NAACP, was the special guest of the East Hampton Town Anti Bias Task Force last week and there was good news and bad news to be shared.

The good news was articulated by several members of an audience comprised of ABTF volunteers from both East Hampton and Southampton, members of the clergy and Councilwomen Sylvia Overby and Bridget Fleming.

Speakers were pleased to report a revitalization of task forces in both towns and on the North Fork. They hope to schedule additional outings co-sponsored on a regional basis.

And the bad news? Ware believes racism is still alive and well – across the nation and on the East End. He pointed to the election of a black president as a springboard for racist comments of an extent he’s never experienced. Some people couldn’t believe an African American would ever hold the nation’s highest office and “can’t get over it,” he said.

Locally, the distribution of KKK pamphlets in Hampton Bays this summer sent shock waves through the community.

Ware contends the hate messages were left on driveways and in mailboxes because distributors must have been of a mind that they’d be well received.

Fleming reported Southampton Town Police have the case under investigation.
