FBI, Investigating Bishop, Came To Southampton

By Rick Murphy

The Independent learned this week that an FBI agent grilled Southampton Trustees about Congressman Tim Bishop’s role in the so-called “Plover-Gate” incident.

On another occasion last spring, two lawyers from the House Ethics Committee also came to town, investigating the same matter.

Specifically, the agents wanted to know the extent of the Congressman’s role in securing a permit for a fireworks display near an active Piping Plover nest in May 2012.

The Bishop camp ignored several requests for comment about the FBI investigation, and whether there is a State Department probe underway.

The House Ethics Committee was scheduled to make a statement about the investigation today.

A Sagaponack homeowner, Eric Semler, asked Bishop for help securing a fireworks permit just five days before his son’s Bar Mitzvah.

Bishop’s office helped cut through a myriad of red tape, dealing with several different local, state, and federal agencies – but not before his daughter Molly, a fundraiser for the Congressman, petitioned Semler for a $10,000 contribution.

“We had a discussion about the permit process,” said Eric Shultz, the President of the Trustees. “He asked about the procedure and whether it was directly followed.”

Shultz turned the agent over to Fred Havemeyer, who was the board’s

point man in the matter.

“An FBI agent came in last winter,” related Havemeyer, a Trustee in charge of the permit process in that area of town. “He wanted details about what the office did to aid [Eric] Semler and Bishop’s office finding a way to make [the fireworks] happen.” The thrust of the questioning was “There was a tremendous amount of activity” in the days before the fireworks, Havemeyer said.

Semler a wealthy hedge fund manager with a house on the ocean, planned the fireworks as part of a Bar Mitzvah celebration for his son. Havermeyer categorized the interaction between the Trustees, the DEC, the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Bishop’s office as

“intense.”

“I’ve tried to help people and worked with the Fish and Wildlife people in the past,” Havemeyer related. “But it’s usually for someone who wants to have a [beach] party” near a Plover nesting site.

Last Spring “two men came from DC, lawyers for the House Ethics Committee. They did the lawyer thing, asking me questions for two hours.” Havemeyer said they asked a lot of questions about Bishop’s involvement in procuring permission for the fireworks.

Havemeyer told them the events at Semler’s house “weren’t unusual. I didn’t want to get dragged into it.

My main concern was the Trustees.

There was nothing done by this office that could be considered unethical.”

Grucci Fireworks informed Semler on May 21, 2012 that it had not received the necessary approvals for a fireworks display because of the Plover nest. Semler called Bishop, who agreed to intercede.

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

The Independent revealed last year that Semler is a business associate of Robert F.X. Sillerman, Bishop’s long time friend and a huge campaign contributor.

According to SEC records Semler’s firm, TCS Global Equity Master Fund, was involved in an offering by a new company Sillerman controls, Viggle Inc. TCS, according to the document, held or holds one million warrants to purchase shares of Viggle, and Semler has “voting power and investment power” over the securities held by TCS Global.

Viggle recently donated $5400 to Bishop, who has spent close to $40,000 in campaign funds on legal fees since the investigation began.

“It was quite an effort, a tremendous amount of work,” Havemeyer said about procuring the necessary permits for Semler.

“Usually you get a thank you note or something. There was nothing.

That has rankled me ever since.”

Bishop spent the days before Memorial Day weekend working frantically to grease the skids for Semler.

BLAME IT ON THE NORWEGIANS Don’t you feel sorry for Barack Obama? I do. Here he is trying to lead from behind in Syria and everyone’s getting mad at him.

Then there’s this business of the red line. Turns out Obama didn’t set the red line in Syria on August 20, 2012, when he said, “We have been very clear that a red line for us is when we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons being utilized.” Last Thursday Obama said, “First of all I didn’t set a red line. The world set a red line.”

Barack is on safe ground blaming the world for his statement. At last report the world still hasn’t denied it set the red line first.

Here’s another thing I don’t understand, and I don’t get the math. What’s the difference between sitting on your hands and doing nothing while a disgusting animal like Bashar al-Assad kills hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children, many of whom are being shot and burned and being blown to pieces by bombs, but then deciding to fire “a warning shot across the bow” of Bashar al-Assad when he uses poison gas to kill 1500 hundred innocent men, women, and children?

And while I’m still confused, I wonder why, when 5000 Kurds were killed in Iraq

by Saddam Hussein – who had chemicals including mustard gas, the nerve agents sarin, tabun and VX, and possibly cyanide dropped by planes into the northern Iraqi town of Halabja – Senator Barack Obama proudly voted against stopping Saddam Hussein.

My guess is the world hadn’t whispered “red line” in Obama’s ears at the time.

But in the end none of this is Obama’s fault. I heard all those wonderful speeches that got him elected in 2008. He was going to rule the world. Change the tides. What a guy. Then some Sneaky Swedes, Doubting Danes and Nervous Norwegians voted him the Noble Peace Prize. Read the column I write below on October 14, 2009, about how this changed Obama’s life. Please note that four years ago when I predicted Obama’s future I knew even then that we could look forward to a president who would SPEAK SOFTLY AND CARRY AN EVEN SOFTER STICK.

YES, HE CAN . . .YES, HE CAN The vibrations of my Blackberry, which I sleep with, clutched in my hand, woke me up.

I quickly pressed the button and this came up: “CNN Breaking News: Oct. 9, 2009: President Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize” Tears came to my eyes. I started to sob.

I reached over and shook my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht. “Wake up, wake up, this is great news!” I screamed.

“Wha . . . Wha . . . What’s wrong?

Why are you crying?” she said, her eyes full of sleep.

“Because I’m so happy. Barack Hussein Obama, our wonderful president, has won the Nobel Peace

Prize.”

Judy then turned over and tried to go back to sleep.

I jumped out of bed and said, “We must do something to celebrate.

Let’s wake up our neighbors – I’m sure they want to hear this great news. I wish we had some noisemakers.”

I remember when I was a kid, we didn’t have noisemakers on New Year’s Eve, so we would bang pots and pans together. But then I thought of Shlomo, my little puppy who was fast asleep next to my bed, and the noise of someone banging pans over his head might give him a heart attack.

“This will show them,” I said.

“Show who?” mumbled Judy from under the covers.

“This will show those racist, conservative dogs on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and Jon Stewart and Bill Maher, and all the other comedy shows who have been laughing at President Barack Obama because they say he has accomplished nothing in the first nine months of his administration, that President Obama has accomplished winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

“This will show that fat dope, fascist Michael Moore, who has been saying that President Obama is not doing enough to force health care on every American, even if it breaks this country financially and destroys the quality of health care, that our clever President has just been rope-a-doping everyone on health care until now that he has a mandate from the world.

“And now our President won’t just be making sure that every American is covered, but now he has a plan to provide and pay for medical coverage for every single person on earth. ‘Yes, We Can! Yes, We Can . . .’” I started to chant.

“Go to sleep, you idiot,” Judy moaned.

“Sleep. No, I’m not going to sleep; this is the most important day of our lives. It means, to quote Neville Chamberlain, that thanks to the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize committee we will have ‘Peace in Our Time.’

cheek should Iran drop the bomb on Cleveland. He will never send another soldier to Afghanistan.

He will, instead, unveil his Donald Rumsfeld plan to just keep enough soldiers in Afghanistan to lose the country to the Taliban. He will negotiate with everyone – the Taliban, Castro, even Osama bin Laden if he comes out of his cave and asks to address the United Nations. President Obama will never defend Israel, even if they are under attack. We will never challenge China. Hell, if Costa Rica invades us, we will surrender right after President Obama makes a stirring speech pointing out it’s only fair, since we have been exploiting them all these years.

“And we owe it all to five Norwegians on the Nobel selection committee, whose names we can’t pronounce: Thorbjorn Jagland, Kaci Kullmann Five, Sissel Marie Ronbeck, Inger-Marie Ytterhorn and Agot Valle. They did it because they were wise enough not to judge our wonderful President Obama on his accomplishments. If you’re handsome, intelligent, personable and have a great ability to make stirring speeches you don’t need no stinking accomplishments – you just need to show that you have the potential to accomplish something, someday.”

Then, when I said “potential,” I broke down and started to sob again.

“Now why are you sobbing?” asked Judy.

“POTENTIAL,” I said, with tears rolling down my cheeks. “MY UNCLE LOUIE.” “What about your Uncle Louie?”

“My God, he was just like Barack Obama. That man had potential. I remember, when I was a little boy, my Uncle Louie would have a few glasses of wine and then he would tell me how much he loved everyone in the world. Then he would say if he had the money he would make everyone in the neighborhood happy. Then he would reach into his pocket and give me a nickel for lemon ice.

Then he would take another glass of wine and say, ‘I love everyone in the world.’ And when my Aunt Mary would scream at him for drinking a gallon of red wine a day, would he answer her? No sir. Not my Uncle Louie. He would always say, ‘That’sa nice, don’ta fight.’ My Uncle Louie had potential.

Did they give my Uncle Louie the Nobel Peace Prize? No! They broke his heart and gave the peace prize that year to Albert Schweitzer.”

Sec ‘Very, Very Impressed’ With East Hampton

By Kitty Merrill

When Governor Cuomo nominated Cesar Perales to serve as the state’s Secretary of State, he described him as one of the “most distinguished” New Yorkers. Last Thursday East Hampton Town Hall habitués were host to the political luminary, as he arrived to honor town officials for their efforts at solving the town’s fiscal crisis.

Perales explained that part of his job as secretary of state involves finding ways for government to operate more efficiently and reduce costs. His Local Government Performance and Efficiency Program is part of the effort to reward and incentivize municipalities that find

ways to streamline government and save cash. Earlier this spring East Hampton Town received a grant of over $500K from the LGPEP; Perales was in town to acknowledge the award.

Stating he was “delighted” to be in East Hampton, Perales explained the LGPEP program, adding, “if local government can show they’ve done things to save money, we’re going to reward them.”

A restructuring of government as well as the implementation of additional efficiencies and cuts resulted in annual savings of $4.2 million under the administration of Supervisor Bill Wilkinson, who took the helm in 2010. He inherited a multi-million dollar deficit from

disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee who resigned following investigations by the New York State Comptroller and Suffolk County District Attorney. The financial turnaround was most recently evidenced by an upgrade of the town’s bond rating.

“We’re so very, very impressed with what happened here in East Hampton,” Perales enthused on Thursday. He said that as he travels the state he plans to “tell other towns and villages, East Hampton has done it. You can, too.”

Wilkinson acknowledged the assistance the town received from Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Senator Ken LaValle as officials began to try to right the financial

ship. Thiele, in turn, lauded the efforts of town budget officer Len Bernard and chief auditor Charlene Kagel. He and LaValle were able to provide the town with additional tools, but, said Thiele, “The hard decisions had to be made at the local level.”

In addition to celebrating East Hampton’s success, Perales was in town to receive an update on the town’s financial progress.

Wilkinson offered an extensive power point presentation discussing how he and his colleagues went about re-engineering government.

The presentation included before and after charts depicting how staff was streamlined.

Back in 2009 when he was on the campaign trail, Wilkinson decried the waste inherent in McGintee’s historic town hall. When he took office, the supervisor called for a reconfiguring of spaces to enhance efficiency.

But the old town hall building, decrepit, disgusting, and almost uninhabitable, continued to sit as a landmark to government inefficiency. Plans to renovate the building and create a town hall campus were sidelined as the true extent of East Hampton’s financial state was revealed. Wilkinson said Thursday that he hopes to use the proceeds from the LGPEP award to begin work on the old town hall. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Mucci Is Out In Springs; New Supe Named

By Rick Murphy

In May the Springs School Board announced its intention of bringing acting Superintendent Dominic Mucci back for another year – in the face of an article in The Independent that clearly indicated the school didn’t follow state guidelines concerning his continued employment.

Earlier this month the State Education Department, recovering from a scandal involving the rehiring of retired school officials on pensions for large cash stipends, refused to grant Mucci a waiver he needed to stay on the job. The district reportedly appealed the decision to no avail.

Another retired administrator, Jay Finello, was appointed to serve as interim superintendent.

A NYSED Waiver 512 was needed because Mucci, a retiree, is drawing a healthy pension in addition to his salary at Springs. Finello will earn less than the $33,000 annual salary that triggers the necessity for a waiver.

The law for allowing a retired administrator to double dip is very clear: a waiver can be granted only if “a temporary need exists and a thorough and good faith search

for a non-retired individual to fill the position has not yet been successful. All certified non-retired candidates for the position must first be considered.”

According to minutes from a Springs School Board meeting in February, although at least 14 applicants had emerged from a superintendent search, then School Board President Kathee BurkeGonzalez commented, “the board is hopeful that Mr. Mucci would again submit his resume.”

This is not permissible under the waiver procedure. The school board didn’t have the authority to choose Mucci over the other candidates; his appointment was based on the district’s pledge that no other qualified candidates could be found and that the district would conduct a search and find a replacement.

When the district tried to appoint Mucci for another year – reportedly at a salary of $105,000 – it applied for another waiver. The State Ed Teacher’s Certification Unit, which is in charge of administering waiver requests, was already aware Springs wasn’t making a determined effort to find a quality replacement. Dr. John B. King Jr., the Commissioner

of Education, refused to sign the waiver.

Finello, a former superintendent at several districts – most recently as an interim in East Islip, will fill the same position in Springs. He will receive a housing allowance as well – The Independent has queried the State Ed Department for the guidelines under which additional funds can be expended for Finello without triggering the need for a waiver.

The Mucci dismissal is another in a series of tumultuous events at Springs. The State Education Department is investigating an allegation of test fixing at the school, and principal Eric Casale has come under fire after it was learned he was implicated in a cheating scandal at his former school in the Bronx. An assistant principal was forced to resign in May. A State Education department spokeswoman acknowledged that complaints have been filed against Casale but declined to say if an active investigation is underway.

The Independent broke the story about the waiver scandal five years ago. Retired administrators under the auspices of BOCES initiated the

BUCKSKILL WINTER CLUB GRAND RE - OPENING

program; it mushroomed into a buddy system that cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. Districts routinely hired retired administrators – BOCES charged a 10 percent finder’s fee – without even attempting to fill vacant positions with qualified nonretired candidates.

School superintendents who hired their retired peers were in turn put in the pool when they retired; often jobs would be found for them in their home districts or near where they lived. Perhaps not coincidentally, Mucci has a house in Springs.

After Newsday did a series of articles, complaints mounted, and Andrew Cuomo, at the time the State Attorney General, launched a probe in 2008. Up until that point the waiver process was much like the LIRR disability board – every single request was green-lighted. State Commissioner of Education Richard Mills announced his retirement after the abuses became public.

The process for granting waivers has been tightened; though the review process is by no means stringent, it does red flag obvious abuses like the one the Springs School district attempted to perpetrate.

Some Want To Save Tide Runners

By Emily Toy

For many, Tide Runners in Hampton Bays is a gem.

And for many the east side of the Shinnecock Canal is being threatened by the proposal to rehabilitate the Canoe Place Inn, an effort that has been under review for years.

Dozens of Southampton Town residents have voiced opinions in both support and opposition of a plan put forth by developers Gregg and Mitchell Rechler to erect 40 vacation town homes. The pair pitched a maritime planned development district that also includes restoring the inn to a catering facility. Tide Runners bar and restaurant would be replaced withPM said townhouses and boat slips.

A public hearing was scheduled for yesterday at Southampton Town Hall, as The Independent went to press.

An online petition was set up recently to support the lively bar and restaurant, with organizers saying, “We set the online petition up after hearing many locals and visitors say things like, ‘It is a crime to build condos here’ and ‘I’ve been coming here all of my life, townhomes here will kill my memories.’” According to the Facebook page “Save Tide Runners,” over 700 people have signed the petition.

president of the Hampton Bays Civic Association called the proposal “a chance to save CPI.” Development, King said, is inevitable: “It will change no matter how much we love it.”

Stephen Ryan, one of the owners of the canal-side restaurant said the town would be losing something its people really enjoy.

Councilwoman Bridget Fleming responded to the petition last week.

“I continue to support the rehabilitation of the Canoe Place Inn,” she wrote. “I also understand that there are a number of aspects of the project that must be carefully considered in the town board’s deliberations on the proposal. I look forward to hearing input and feedback from the community during the continued public hearing process.”

‘No Data’ Driving Truck Law

By Kitty Merrill

How many trucks and businesses will be displaced if East Hampton Town officials adopt a new “light truck” definition?

It could be 50 or it could be thousands, Margaret Turner, executive director of the East Hampton Business Alliance, mused. “You have no idea,” she told members of the town board during their regular meeting last Thursday night. There is “no true data” available, she said.

The amendment to the town code, currently still in the discussion stages, is prompted by complaints of operators filling residential properties (especially in Springs) with heavy trucks and equipment, illegally transforming them into commercial properties.

Turner reminded the board that members asked town planners for a list of places where the trucks could be parked, for the number of properties that are zoned for the use. The information was not forthcoming. “We don’t feel these numbers are so easy to obtain,” Turner said.

Acknowledging that Springs neighborhoods do need relief, Turner said the failure to include data in the discussion is symptomatic of a larger issue – the town’s failure to consider the needs of the business community.

Listing myriad ways the business community is an asset to East Hampton, Turner told the board, “You need to consider how the problem started in the first place.

We feel it was poor, or lack of, planning.” She reminded that the town’s Comprehensive Plan, written in 2005, listed a business needs assessment study as its fifth goal.

“It’s long overdue,” Turner said.

S u p e r v i s o r B i l l Wi l k i n s o n offered that his administration has often been criticized as too “probusiness.” Turner backtracked a bit, characterizing Wilkinson as one of the “most receptive” supervisors in years. However, she said her group’s frustration lies in conversations about measures that could help the business community commencing, then hitting brick walls.

Councilwoman Theresa Quigley offered that the board was originally a “pro-business” board, and did indeed hit brick walls. But, she reasoned, when measures that could help are proposed, members of the business community don’t step up and offer support. It seems as if board members alone support

the ideas when the business community remains silent, Quigley said. She volunteered to convene a committee to begin a business needs assessment.

In other business last Thursday night, board members heard from recreation advocate Paul Fiondella.

He asked the board to find a way to ensure community members have a voice in the state’s Montauk Highway resurfacing project. Next year, resurfacing from Egypt Lane in East Hampton Village to Etna Avenue in Montauk will commence. It’s the third phase of a three-pronged plan that will, at its conclusion, result in resurfaced roadway from Montauk to Southampton.

Fiondella expressed concern that as the project has moved along, state officials “Neglected the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists.” He pointed to the first phase of the project which stretched through the western section of the village and created a hazardous condition, with no room for bicyclists, at the Woods Lane traffic light.

Officials have already made that mistake, how many more might occur if local input is not included at the planning stages? Fiondella queried. Asking board members to inform the state that the community would like to provide comments, Fiondella also noted the lack of crosswalks on Montauk Highway along a stretch of road from the Abraham’s Path intersection all the

way to Newtown Lane. What would it cost to put one down at Egypt Lane, he wondered.

F i n a l l y, a s h a s b e c o m e a custom at town board meetings, a contingent of Springs residents was on hand to urge the board to act to address quality of life problems in the hamlet. Complaints about suspected illegal volleyball games that are allegedly run commercially

with food and beer sold and gambling were reiterated by two residents. David Buda pointed out that even if property owners take nets down after the games, if the posts don’t meet setbacks, a violation has occurred.

Carol Buda noted that while people often blame the Springs school district for high taxes in the hamlet, the town’s failure to enforce laws against illegally overcrowded homes – which she believes are responsible for the enrollment surge at the school – is to blame. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

But You Can Call Me John On Friday members of the S o u t h a m p t o n To w n P o l i c e Community Response Unit, assisted by patrol officers, conducted a reverse prostitution sting where an undercover female police officer posed as a prostitute and was solicited for sex or other sex acts. The sting targeted the Riverside area in response to community complaints about frequent street side prostitution.

The sting netted five male subjects who all agreed to exchange money for sex or other sex acts with the exception of one who agreed to exchange narcotics for sex. Five men were charged with Patronizing a Prostitute in the 3rd Degree.

For one unlucky John, it turned into quite the trick.

The Porpoise-Shaped Toilet East Hampton Town Police are searching for a garbage can cover that looks suspiciously like a dolphin. The plastic ornamental cover was taken off –oddly enough – a garbage can at the Puff & Putt on Montauk Highway in late August. The public is advised the dolphin may be dangerous.

On August 2 a white Yater surfboard was taken off a truck at Sole East. It had a red tail, which propted some concern it might have really been a fox disquised as a surf board.

Volunteer For Mock Interviews East Hampton High School’s Deb Mansir, the School to Work Coordinator, is reaching out to community members and business owners with an opportunity to act as a fake job interviewer for high school seniors, with an opportunity to critique the students on an established set of points like eye contact, attire, and “monosyllabic responses.”

“We’re tr ying to set up as much of a real world experience as possible,” Mansir said. She has been running the program for seven years now, and acknowledged that for some kids, “it’s their very first time in an interview situation.”

These interviews, which start for the students in their junior year, give them an opportunity to experience what it will be like to engage in face to face interviews for college, the military, and, of course, the workplace.

Around 50 to 60 adults are needed for the workshop, which will be held on Thursday, September 26, from 8 AM to 2:30 PM. Each of the over 250 seniors will participate in a 15 to 20 minute mock interview, followed immediately with feedback and a ratings sheet, and then a second chance to improve their score. Community members are asked to choose approximately an hour of participation time, with the likelihood of interviewing

ALMANAC August 2013 – Cool For The Month Of August This past August was on the cool side. In all my years of keeping weather records, this has been one of the coolest. There was only oneday (on the 2nd when it reached 91) degrees, the highest for the month.

In fact it was only 80 or higher on 14 days. A cool, cool August.

At nighttime the lowest for August was 47 degrees on the 25th, the only time it was lower than 50.

So August goes down as a cool one.

Measurable rain fell on 7 days this past month. Heaviest on one

day was only 0.61�. This has been the driest August since 2005. Total rainfall for this August was 1.25 inches. Local rains should be with us within a week.

Late melons, corn, tomatoes, and winter pumpkins need rains now as well as the late potatoes.

It is not often that we get a dry spell right in the critical growing period of so many crops.

I don’t annoy anyone. I sit quietly, eat and read the sport section. (OK, in the interest of full disclosure, I should point out I probably do bother people because I chew with my mouth open and burp and belch frequently.)

EDITORIAL

Congressman Bishop Should Stand Up For Himself For much of his career we could at least count on Congressman Tim Bishop to give straight answers to the difficult questions.

He’s been anything but candid since the infamous ‘Plover Gate’ incident more than a year ago. (See the related story on page four.) It is no wonder, then, that there has been stony silence from the Bishop campaign about an FBI probe into the matter.

The House Ethics Committee was scheduled to release the results of its probe on the matter today. Though it is illegal to tie an official action of a congressman to a campaign contribution, experts say it is difficult to prove.

A State Department probe could be more serious – we are talking about a criminal investigation. Of course, it’s possible the FBI made routine inquiries after serious allegations were made about Bishop and the case is closed. We don’t know, because Tim Bishop isn’t talking.

More to the point, it really isn’t important if Bishop’s colleagues decide to slap his wrist or not. When the House Office of Congressional Ethics voted to extend the investigation on July 26, it was an indication that there was a lot more going on than Bishop has ever acknowledged.

He claimed the complaint against him was politically motivated, but he never adequately addressed charges made by the non-partisan Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which named him on a short list of “most corrupt members of Congress.”

Bishop has been running scared all year, and now we know why. He hired a high-

Independent VOICES

Important Tradition Dear Rick, It was my good fortune to be elected an East Hampton Town Trustee in 1988, in my first political campaign for public office. I could not have asked for a better introduction to government service. The East Hampton Town Board of Trustees was the first form of government in East Hampton starting in 1686. Today, centuries later, the Trustees manage the common lands owned by the residents, including Trustee roads, waterways, harbor bottomlands, ponds, creeks and our beaches.

Coming from a Springs family that fished local waters, I was raised with a great

respect for the environment around me.

When I became a Trustee, the importance of preserving and providing public access to our lands and waterways for all users became even clearer. It is important that over the years, our natural resources have been protected for the enjoyment of, and use by, East Hampton residents, their families and visitors.

It is vital to our community that we continue this important tradition of public access to open spaces and waterways, for all user groups, especially in these times of ever-increasing population growth.

It cannot be argued that because of vigilant care by our Trustees over these many years, our beaches are rated top in the world. We, the current residents of East Hampton, have benefitted greatly from the wisdom of those who came before us and worked to preserve these priceless spaces. The right to access our lands and waterways has been enjoyed by the public

profile Washington D.C. firm to defend himself against possible formal charges. He kept that from the public.

He knew the FBI was asking questions about him, but chose not to share it with constituents. There is not a word about his predicament on his website.

When asked for a comment, his only response is to recycle the same statement he has made ad nauseum since the scandal story broke: “I welcome a fair-minded review of the facts because I have done nothing wrong.”

Why then, does he need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers? Why did he give the campaign contribution he received for doing a constituent a favor to charity when the public found out about it? Why hasn’t he revealed the FBI investigated him?

As we have said many times in this space, it’s because Tim Bishop is not what he makes himself out to be. He is a phony, a Washington DC insider that takes money from all comers and hones his reputation as the great Liberal Environmentalist from The Hamptons like a witch sharpens her nails.

This isn’t about politics or party. It’s about an elected official who arrogantly takes our votes and contributions and then acts in a manner that benefits himself, his family, and the powerful men who control him – and no one else.

If you supported Tim Bishop, ask yourself: has the FBI ever come snooping around asking questions about any other politician you’ve ever voted for? Ever?

When the House Ethics Committee releases its report, Tim Bishop will say all the right things. That it’s now behind him. That the matter is closed. That he is grateful it’s been resolved. But he won’t be telling the truth – that’s the way he rolls.

for generations.

I can say without hesitation that I am committed to continue to protect our rights to access and to the intelligent, careful use of our precious natural resources.

Recently at the Duck Creek Association candidates’ event, on August 24, Democrat Town Board candidate, Kathee BurkeGonzalez, spoke of revisiting the issue of beach parking permit fees. The Democrats now deny having raised the idea of using this new “fee” as a non-property tax method of producing more revenue for the Town. I will never be in favor of once again initiating such a new, hidden tax on East Hampton residents.

It was done during the last Democratic administration to a huge backlash from the residents; only to be rescinded as one of the first acts of the Wilkinson administration in January 2010. When I stated my opposition, after Ms. Burke-

Gonzalez made her statement, not one of the Democratic candidates responded that Ms. Burke-Gonzalez was not referring to a “resident” beach parking permit or that they would never consider it as a possibility.

If you have questions contact me at: eh4overton@gmail.com. As a candidate for Town Councilman, I look forward to the opportunity to serve you as a member of the East Hampton Town Board. This can only happen with your vote for me on November 5.

On August 27 he made it known, prior to the 9/10/13, Republican write-in primary, that if he wins, he will decline the nomination.

What sense does it make for a candidate to crow about the endorsement of a party of 37 registered voters (Working Families Party) and decline the potential offer of support from 4,073 registered East Hampton Republicans? Do the math. That is 110 Republican voters for every 1 WFP voter!

Why wouldn’t Mr. Cantwell, who fashions himself a unifier, want the backing of all political parties? The flimsy reasoning (excuses?) offered by him in answer to the question, makes no sense and insults the intelligence of the electorate. He wrings his hands over the fact that he would be the only supervisor candidate, if endorsed by all parties.

Mr. Cantwell and his running mates are always free to argue their positions on all issues and to debate the other candidates on the Republican, Independence and Conservative lines. The bully pulpit has been his since he emerged on the scene and he has had no trouble making good use of it. It is a political red herring for him to say that it would weaken the support for his fellow Democrat Board candidates and his campaigning on their behalf. The fallacy of his statement is highlighted by the fact that since his endorsement by the Independence Party, which he gladly accepted, he has been running with Republican, Independence and Conservative endorsed candidates, including Fred Overton and Dominick Stanzione on the Independence line and, without skipping a beat, supporting only his fellow Democrat Board candidates.

His promises of unity and inclusiveness ring hollow and are an affront to intelligent thought.

His handlers -- the Democratic elite -- appear afraid to let him accept the Republican nomination. A nomination which I know first-hand, despite inaccurate reports in news media, results from a grass roots attempt by the citizens of East Hampton who happen to be Republicans – to place him at the top of their ticket.

Does Cantwell’s announcement reveal the Democratic party’s true intention to conduct business as usual -- party politics -- allowing no deviation by its candidates (elected officials?) Candidate Cantwell’s acquiescence to his handlers’ marching

JUST ASKING

IN THE NEWS

By Karen Fredericks

Should there be American military intervention in Syria?

Elizabeth Linker I think we should not go into Syria. We have no right to go into Syria. And we need to be working on our problems right here in our own country. We cannot take on the entire world’s problems. I don’t know why anyone thinks that’s our job.

Colin Mahar I don’t think we should be waging war in the Middle East. It’s just not our country. We can’t go out and be responsible for the entire world and solve it’s problems.

Laura Herrlin We should go in to keep the peace. So many innocent people are getting murdered because of their crazy government. There’ve been wars since Jesus Christ and it’s never going to end.

You have to fight for what you believe in. And this is about people’s lives.

Tom Friedman We should not go into Syria. If we do, the rest of the Arab world will hate us. And there seems to be a solution in the works with Vladimir Putin agreeing to take the gas out of Syria to safeguard it. Both sides feel that with certain guarantees we can live with that.

Letters & Obit Policy

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

orders is disappointing. Why would he refuse Republican voters’ call for unity, while saying he wants to represent them in Town Hall -- but only when elected on the three other party tickets whose endorsements he has accepted?

We peek behind the curtain, only to find the Wizard of Oz and the emptiness of Cantwell’s words. When I started this process in July, my goal was unity. It appears that people over politics will remain a pipe dream for the near future.

Pity!

BEVERLY BOND

Take No Responsibility Dear Independent Editor, Your postscript below Mr. Della Femina’s column is to write him directly.

Though he is one of the publishers of your publication, you apparently take no responsibility for his use of language.

Referring to President Obama, using terms like “shucking and jiving” in response

to the president’s remarks on Syria, is a stereotypical Jim Crow description that should not be used in a public newspaper.

He attributed a Communist Manifesto credo to the president last year in a column, and wrote me a letter explaining that he assumed that everyone knew that it was not a direct quote, and regretted if it was misunderstood. I take him at his word.

Mr. Della Femina is well respected as a wordsmith in creative advertising, so it is no accident when he uses defamatory terms. I enjoy reading his political criticism, but his use of racially inflammatory language is not appropriate, and should not be printed.

Independent VOICES

Continued from page 20.

this might throw off some lesser intellects into believing the author of a letter in last week’s issue. I tend to believe the author has another agenda, because he sure missed the point of what we should come to expect of any public servant, especially an elected official.

I found Mr. Della Femina’s full-page ad about Eliot Spitzer to be dead on accurate!

Please forgive me, Mr. Jablonsky but it is you who are ranting! How do you manage to overlook the records of people who are

REAL ESTATE

running for public office?

I find it amazing that two people who have basically been revealed as “perverts” are running for office in New York City. One is very appropriately named Mr. “Weiner.”

And he seems hell bent on displaying “it” for all the young ladies to see.

Spitzer, who Mr. Jablonsky seems to find little fault with, cannot be trusted to be alone with a young lady! I strongly suspect Mr. Jablonsky has his financial concerns confused with his moral values!

Raving, Mr. Jablonsky? Mr Della Femina was so right! We don’t need perverts, or sickos in control of our government. If you don’t see it that way perhaps it is you who are ranting and raving.

On September 2 the East Hampton Fire Department was called to the Tomas Lee residence at 43 East Dune Lane for a reported basement fire. Arriving firefighters found a working fire in the basement, beginning to extend up to the first floor. After an aggressive interior attack firefighters were able to knock down the fire in about 20 minutes. Rapid Intervention Teams from Amagansett and Sag Harbor were called to the scene, and the Springs Fire Department was called for one pumper to stand by at East Hampton Fire Department headquarters. All units were back in service roughly two and a half hours later.

CLASSIFIEDS in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. The person, must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. after 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted. My prayers were answered.

Juan Castro, the Executive Director of the YMCA RECenter, retired last month.

The community is invited to the center on Friday to wish him all the best in his retirement.

Castro graduated from Long Island University with a teaching degree and worked part time at the local YMCA. In 1983 he accepted the Job as Executive Director of the Eastern District Branch YMCA, a position he held until 1989. During his tenure the Branch grew from a small $200,000 budget to well over $2 million. At the start of 1990 Juan was given the additional responsibility of leading the Twelve Towns YMCA Branch (by 1995 both of these branches were consolidated as the North Brooklyn YMCA).

Through the 90’s both of the branches grew, reaching over 10,000 members in the communities of Williamsburg, Bushwick, East New York, Richwood and Cypress Hills. By 1999 these two branches had expanded into 15 locations and reached a combined budget of $3.5 million. Over this period of time he was able to get some $40 million from government grants, foundations and individual contributors.

The North Brooklyn YMCA under his leadership was recognized by the YMCA of the USA as being a national leader in community development. Its collaborative models in the areas of reducing teenage pregnancy, educational enrichment programs (Beacon Schools) and Neighborhood Based Alliance providing for economic development are outstanding examples of community wide mobilization efforts.

In 2000 Castro became the Executive Director of the Glen Cove Youth Bureau. As Executive Director he is responsible for the promotion and development of youth and family activities, grant writing, board development and fundraising. Additionally the role of the Executive Director designs, implements and evaluates needs assessment instruments, and provides the Mayor’s Office with counsel based on these results.

In June 2002 Castro was elected president of the Glen Cove InterAgency Council (IAC). The mission of the IAC is to enhance the delivery of human services through collaboration and communication, and to provide mutual support among community agencies through sharing and networking. During Castro’s tenure the IAC became incorporated and as a not for profit corporation and secured for thecommunity $838,000 in new funding.

Obituary Nancy Mulinelli 71

Nancy Mulinelli was a cosmically connected writer and poet and known to have the biggest heart ever. A Long Islander, she lived on the East End for the past 25 years, notably, East Hampton and most recently Sag Harbor.

Nancy spent many of these years working at the Ross School, where the laughter and joy of the children brought her daily delight. Children held a special place in Nancy’s heart and children reveled in her presence.

She also loved working for the very generous Historic Films until she decided to relocate to the West Coast for a very short stint before

knowing that the East End was where she needed to be.

“Ms. Nanceeta” lived her life in search of wonder and grace; the beauty of our area suited her to a tee.

Nancy enjoyed a starlit, albeit brief, career on the local stage participating in multiple productions Nancy was a voracious reader, disappearing for days lost in the wonder of words.

The serenity of the local fellowships gave her peace and

IN THE NEWS

clarity. No matter where or who or what, Nancy lit the room with her twinkling eyes and drew friends to her like a magnet.

In Nancy’s words “celebrate life, time and love” and we ask that you do not mourn her end but celebrate her life.

Nancy will be missed by the many friends and loving family that she has left behind. Memorial to be held on Saturday at the Whaler’s Church in Sag Harbor at 11 AM and please make any donations to Special Players.

Continued from page 4. the fireworks to happen five days before the event. ”This event will likely cause adverse affects on the Piping Plover,” Steve Papa, a senior biologist with the USFWS told Edward Rubio, a logistics assistant for Grucci. ”Unfortunately . . . there is no possibility of obtaining . . . a permit. I would recommend rescheduling in September to be safe.”

Bishop thrust himself into the permitting process even as his daughter was hitting up Semler for a donation. On May 24 a Grucci higher-up sent out a group e-mail to some employees: “Wow . . .

Congressman Bishop is meeting with the DEC regional director this morning. Be prepared to move forward.” It is not known what transpired at that meeting or even if it took place, but the next day, Papa

said, a USFWS superior wrote to Bishop, “you’re good to go” – a direct reversal of the USFWS position from a day earlier.

In the interim the scope of the fireworks display was pared down and the location was switched to the roof of the house.

Despite the clutch of plover eggs near the fireworks site – one of only 18 in the entire town of Southampton – Semler delivered his Bar Mitzvah present to his son, and 200 people gathered a few hundred yards from the plover eggs.

Semler sent a note to the Congressman on May 28th: “I want to thank you again for going out of your way to help us . . . I can’t really believe we pulled it off. Your relentless focus on this task was so impressive.” Three weeks later he and his wife each contributed $2500 each to Bishop’s campaign, the maximum allowable.

www.indyeastend.com

It is illegal for a sitting congressman to solicit a contribution for performing an official function. Bishop donated the money to charity after the story broke but insisted there was no wrongdoing on his part.

Semler initially complained bitterly about Bishop’s camp asking

September 11, 2013 33

for money. After reportedly receiving a call from Bishop he changed his story – Semler told Newsday the request for a donation came only after the permit for the fireworks was obtained. However a string of e-mails and other documents obtained by this newspaper clearly contradict his statement.

FANTASY SP

What We Learned From Week One Two rules to live by if you want to win a Fantasy Football title: 1) don’t chase last week’s statistics, and 2) don’t overreact.

I harken back to last year for the definitive proof: After Brian (Turn On Your) Hartline caught 12 passes for 253 yards in a game early last season we all went crazy, grabbing him on the waiver wire, trading for him, or bidding a small fortune for his services. As is usually the case, he has never come anywhere close to matching those numbers since that magical game.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t be interested in some players from last week who enjoyed break out games – just remember you have to drop a player to pick another one up, and the player you drop is someone you

thought highly enough of to draft to begin with.

In other words, you’ll kick yourself if you drop a player who ends up having a good or great season. That said, here are some players who should be on your radar: Terrelle Pryor, Oakland’s quarterback, was the week’s leading rusher. You read it right: rusher.

Anytime a quarterback runs a lot, he becomes valuable, even if he isn’t much of a thrower. Witness Tim Tebow in 2011, when he put up great fantasy numbers even though he throws like your old Aunt Tildy.

Julius Thomas had a good game for Denver, and if you need a tight end by all means grab him – temper your enthusiasm, though, because Peyton Manning has a lot

of weapons and he doesn’t figure to throw to Thomas that often. Jared Cook is another TE who might be out there who can help your team.

Jerome Simpson had a great game for the Browns but I’ll bet it’s a fluke. Let’s see him do it again.

The big news in Fantasy Football comes courtesy of the New England Patriots. We know they are an offensive machine behind Tom Brady; we knew going into the first week that Brady has a new set of receivers. Now we have an inkling of how things are going to play out.

Brady threw to the rookie Kenbrell Thompkins 14 times – and the kid only caught five. That’s not going to cut it. By crunch time Brady was targeting Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola over and over again. If Edelman is available in your league, grab him now.

Once again Stevan Ridley got benched for fumbling, and this time Shane Vereen took advantage.

In fact, Vereen looked so good he might just take the starting RB job from Ridley. And don’t forget the Gronk is due back soon, so if you have Zach Sudfield at TE consider dropping him – the kid looks like he has lobster claws instead of hands.

It’s essential you understand

how the waiver wire works in your leagues. Yahoo and CBS, for example, move you to the back of the line every time you execute a waiver pickup. Some owners like to hold onto the number one pick, hoping a blue chipper will emerge.

Once the bye weeks begin, though, you’ll probably have to hit the wire - especially when injuries start to kick in.

Some leagues give you a free agent budget. In the NFFC Online Championships we get $1000 mythical dollars – you need to make it last for the whole season. There’s no one out there I would bid more than $100 for right now – so keep your bids modest unless you really need a player.

Next week Denver comes to town – it just so happens the Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli, were the top two fantasy quarterbacks last week. I’m expecting another shootout. The other game that looks like a high scoring affair pits Washington against Green Bay. When playing “daily” fantasy those games serve as a good place to “stack” players. Remember, look at the Vegas over/under line – fantasy players are looking to accumulate stats, so the more points scored the better.

Jets Shock NFL, And The Rest Of Us

The New York Jets opened up their season in stunning fashion: a late comeback 18-17 win. As three and a half point underdogs, fans, along with Vegas, obviously didn’t think a win against a mediocre Buccaneers team was impossible.

But, a poised Geno Smith, a stoic Nick Folk, and a team that fought until the very end, set up the biggest surprise of the opening NFL weekend. More so than the final score, it was how the Jets won that made it shocking.

Tom Brady or Eli Manning down two points with less than a minute left? No problem. Geno Smith? No chance. Or so we thought. Granted, some will use the word “luck” to describe the Jets win. They were down two with 34 seconds remaining, and New York needed help from Bucs linebacker Lavonte David.

David’s personal foul on Geno

Smith put the Jets in position for a Nick Folk 48-yard field goal with two second left. Regardless, the NFL has too much parity, and is far too competitive, for any team to apologize for a win.

For all the bad publicity and criticism Rex Ryan received in the offseason, many of those sentiments clearly haven’t made their way down to Gang Green’s locker room.

The Jets didn’t play for Rex Ryan on Sunday as if he was a lame duck head coach. They battled, scraped, and were more physical than the Bucs.

In today’s pass-happy, high-flying NFL, many will call what they saw on Sunday, “ugly.” I won’t try to convince you it was pretty. But, it showcased two strong defenses, combined with a pair of weak offenses. For the Jets, they held top running back Doug Martin to 64 total yards, and did a good job

www.indyeastend.com

changing fronts to confuse Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman. Rex Ryan predicted a top-five defense this season, and at least after week one, that statement may have some validity.

As for the offense, it clearly remains a work in progress, but also showed potential. Geno Smith exceeded expectations going 24 for 38 with 256 yards and a touchdown pass and an interception.

Yet, it was Smith’s legs that highlighted how much more diverse he can make this offense than Mark Sanchez. Smith led the team with 47 rushing yards.

Also, unlike a young Michael Vick, Smith wasn’t looking to run first, he typically used it as a last resort.

Geno Smith showed the ability to run a more developed and versatile offense than was ever run by Mark Sanchez. For a rookie in his first regular season game, Smith was impressive rolling out the pocket, and extending plays with positive results.

There were several “Ge-No!” chants across MetLife Stadium

September 11, 2013 35

throughout Sunday. But, it’s more important for fans to stay behind Smith when he hits those rookie roadblocks. Even though it was just one week, Smith showed enough to believe there’s no benefit in ever going back to Mark Sanchez.

The Jets can’t enjoy this win for long. They invade Foxborough, Massachusetts, tomorrow night to take on the Patriots. A tumultuous offseason for the Patriots was evident in a shaky week one performance.

New England squeaked past the Bills on Sunday 23-21. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since New England’s 49-19 shellacking of New York last Thanksgiving. It also was the birth of the “buttfumble.” Geno Smith can thank Mark Sanchez for setting the bar very low heading into tomorrow night.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

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

Lightning What To Do Well, not getting hit in the first place is the best advice. If the weather forecast is bad, forget about trying to get out there to take advantage of the predators starting to “feed up” (they can sense the lowering pressure via their lateral lines) before the storm. It isn’t worth it.

But, if you are out there, what do you do when you see a storm approaching?

NOAA says: • Get out of the water if you are swimming off the transom. It’s a

great conductor of electricity.

• If caught in a boat, crouch down in the center away from metal hardware.

• Don’t stand in puddles of water (ya think?).

Let me add a couple of thoughts: • Life jackets on everyone.

• Disconnect all electronics that aren’t essential to getting home.

• Electrical tape over the exposed leads so nothing climbs up the wire to the gear.

Seeing The Storm If you can see the edges of the

storm, and the center of the storm is between you and home, run at speed at a 90-degree angle to the storm and try to go around it.

Squalls can be as deadly as a major blow but they are smallish and can be avoided.

If the storm covers the sky from horizon to horizon, say a prayer (I carry one on the outside of my sea journal) and head in at speed. (See The Independent article, “Skippering in Heavy Seas”, July 15, 2010.)

Get on the radio and let someone know where you are, where you are headed and at what speed you can make. Check in every 15 minutes.

After 30 minutes of not checking in, someone needs to start the “rescue starts now” clock.

It would be great to have individuals aboard who are competent in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid. Many individu-

No one has CPR training? Call the American Red Cross and get a course under your keel.

Struck!

If a boat has been, or is suspected of having been, struck by lightning (overnight on a mooring?), check out the electrical system and the compasses to insure that no damage has occurred. A number of years ago, I dinghy’d out to my son’s 17-foot Seahunt, sitting on her mooring east of Gunning Point.

As I approached, I noticed that the bow-mounted navigation lights were broken.

“Son of a gun, some yahoo hit the boat last night. Must have been drunk as a skunk!” Then I noticed some of the other electronics had scorch marks and cracked glass covers. The light went on! I realized that this must be a leftover from a storm that had come through the night before.

Scratching my head, I lifted the cover to check the fuel tank. Looking down, I saw that the sender wire that runs from the cockpit gauge back to the fuel tank was completely scorched – to within one inch of the fuel tank itself. We re-wired the boat and repeated our prayer: Dear God, Thy sea is so great and my boat is so small. Protect me . . .

Fishing Report Don’t Want No Short Fishes Shinnecock Bay/Inlet & Ocean The fluke bite continues to be the best option for most anglers.

The bite in the ocean has been good when you find the bite with fish to eight pounds. The most recent spot was in 20 feet of water just east of the inlet although we did hear of a few good fish taken west of Tiana Beach.

The bay is loaded with shorts with the occasional keeper in the mix. Gulp baits are the star bait of choice but the smelts and Peruvian spearing with squid are working well too. Some large Triggerfish are being taken on clam and squid baits in the inlet.

A few bluefish of the large variety are lurking just outside the inlet feeding on the sand eels, try casting into them or dragging an umbrella through the area. Some schoolie bass are around with an occasional keeper being hit on the head. The bass bite should start to heat up as the weather cools for those drifting live baits in the inlet.

What Can

Peconic Bays The Peconics are beginning to show some signs of a fall bite as the water temps drop. Big porgies have been reported as far up as Indian Island Park. This should bring in the bass and blues looking for a meal.

Jessups still holds a good amount of porgies too.

S h o r e b o u n d /S u r f/C a n a l / Ponquogue Bridge The ocean beaches continue to produce fluke for those choosing to target them. Fish to six pounds have come from the east and up to 22-inch from the west. The bass and blues are around with some weakfish in the mix in the surf.

Most fish have come on the evening and early morning tides. They are not in huge numbers but they are being caught by those who put their time in.

Over at the inlet the fluke have been the target. Quite a few keeper size fish are coming up on both the east and west jetties. Peruvian
