The Mystery Of The Vanished Vacationer By Rick Murphy
Religious. A Scoutmaster. A family man. George Richardson is by all accounts an intelligent, dependable man with a high profile job, a loving wife, and friends and co-workers who sing his praises. But sometime between 1 AM and 6 AM on August 28 George Richardson vanished from a Montauk motel where he was vacationing with his wife Mary and three young children, all boys. And he literally vanished without a trace. “We’ve had dogs out, planes. Everything has been checked,” said East Hampton Town Police Chief Eddie Ecker. “We’re hoping he is somewhere.” Hartman’s Briney Breezes Motel is on Old Montauk Highway, across the street from the ocean beach, separated by dense brush and thicket. There are intermittent paths that lead down to the beach. One is just across the street and east of the motel and police believe it is most likely the one Richardson used when he went for beach walks. The family was in the last day of its vacation, and Richardson had gone for early walks on the beach most of the other days. He was due back at work at Huntington Hospital the following day. Police said his eldest son saw Richardson at 1 AM. His wife woke up to find him gone around 6 AM. “They were all in one room,” noted Detective Lieutenant Chris Anderson. Richardson was wearing running shoes and an orange cap. There are no security cameras on site, an employee said. The doors lock with a key, not electronically. Richardson’s credit cards have not been used and his bank account hasn’t been touched, police said. “There’s a distinct possibility he went swimming,” Anderson guessed, though friends said Richardson wasn’t a swimming enthusiast. Ecker acknowledged, “there are no indications” Richardson went down to the nearby beach on that particular morning. “Who knows if he turns left and a car clips him?” said Anderson. “We are all shaking,” said Rob Harrison, an assistant dean at the St. John’s School of Law where Richardson worked for almost five years. “He was a great guy in every way; straight laced, dependable. This is a tragedy for us.” Harrison said Richardson was an

avid boater but had sold his sailboat the previous year. “He did have a boat. We had that in common.” Harrison said Richardson kept his boat in Huntington. “He sold it – he didn’t use it as much as he would have liked,” Harrison said. Anderson said police were aware that the missing man “has had boats registered to him in the past.” Richardson left St. John’s at the Continued on Page 33.
Missing Man’s Last Known Steps? By Rick Murphy
Investigators don’t have any substantial leads as to the whereabouts of George Richardson, last seen in Montauk on August 28. Richardson family members have not talked to the press, but sources said they have been completely cooperative with investigators. The Richardson family stayed in a single room with a fully equipped kitchen at Hartman’s Briney Breezes Motel. Richardson had gone for an early morning stroll on the beach most days. On August 28, if he followed the same pattern as the other days, he left his motel room shortly after 6 AM, crossed Old Montauk Highway, and likely headed east to the nearest path to the ocean, about 100 feet away. The path winds down through heavy thicket to the beach. He apparently didn’t plan on being gone long – he left his wallet in the motel room. Continued on Page 32.

And most of all it was the fault of Arthur Krazinsky, who got a 98 in geometry. There is no reason why Arthur Krazinsky needed that 98. Yes, I know he worked hard and did his homework while I screwed around and never picked up a book. But I deserved my “fair share” of his points. So if he gave me 30 of his points we would both have a passing 68 mark. I think that’s not just fair. I think that’s Obama fair. B:37” T:36”

this election. There is a great documentary that finished last weekend in the top 10 at the box office. It’s writer/director Dinesh D’Souza’s 2016: Obama’s America. I saw it two weeks ago and believe me, it’s a most revealing documentary about Barack Obama and the direction he wants to take this country. It has a great advertising line: “Love him or hate him, you don’t know him.” Why don’t Republicans or one of their PACs buy a commercial-free hour and a half on prime network time and put the movie on the air for millions to see. They should put a bundle behind advertising it. I guarantee it will have an effect on the presidential race. Will the Republicans do this? Probably not. Then they will wonder why they lost the most important election in our lifetime.
CALL ME CRAZY BUT . . . I am so happy I watched Obama’s speech at the Democratic convention. He cleared up something that has been bothering me all my life. It turns out I didn’t fail when I failed geometry four years in a row at Lafayette High School. Yes, I went from a 47 average in my first term down to 38 average in the last term. But I didn’t fail. Everyone failed but me. It was the fault of my teachers that I was obtuse about acute triangles. It was the fault of my fellow students who studied hard and got better marks than me. It was the fault of my parents who were silly enough to believe me when I promised them that I

•••••••••••••••••••••••• Sandra Fluke says if the government doesn’t give her free contraception it’s part of the Republican war on women. OK, here’s my fantasy: It’s 2016 and I see two young people in the back seat of a car, making out. The action gets hot and heavy. Then she utters those words every redblooded American boy can’t wait to hear: “Do you have something?” He answers, “No, I don’t have ‘something.’” “But,” she says, “the United States government sends you 15 free condoms every month.” He says, “I . . . er . . . er . . . I used them all in the first 15 days of the month. How about you? Don’t you get free birth control pills from the government?” “Yes I do, but I’m out because I’m sharing my free birth control pills with my sister who isn’t eligible to get free birth control pills until she’s 16.” They both agree the Democrats were right in 2012. Men getting just 15 free condoms a month and women not being able to get free birth control pills until they’re 16 years old is part of the latest Republican war on men and women. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Let me get this straight: In 1980,

when Ronald Reagan dismissed all flight controllers and replaced them with flight controllers from the military and other sources, Americans got on board a plane without uttering a peep, even though the plane was being guided by flight directors who weren’t as experienced as the professionals who were dismissed. Now the NFL has replaced striking football referees with referees from college and people are screaming bloody murder. “We can’t allow this to happen. It’s the end of the world. They can’t do this to us,” they whine. “It will ruin football.” Replacement flight controllers? Fine. Replacement NFL referees? Never. What a country. •••••••••••••••••••••••• So during the same convention where Democrats tried to prove there was a Republican war on women, Democrats trotted out, among others, Bill Clinton and film of the late Teddy Kennedy and tried to get us to believe that Republicans don’t honor women like Democrats do.

This is like the dog whistle that only dogs can hear. Chris, what you don’t realize is there are so so many cities that are secretly racist in jokes. Take San Diego – it ends with an “o” and it sounds like “dago.” It hurts my heart when a Democrat says it. It’s shorthand for prejudice against Italians. And Cleveland we all know is shorthand for a racist remark against Native Americans. Just think of the Cleveland Indians.

Parrish Closes Doors ‘Til November
By Emily Toy
Southampton’s Jobs Lane will be without one of its oldest inhabitants this fall. The Parrish Art Museum closed its doors to the public on September 4, as the staff began preparations for the museum’s move to its new facility: a 34,400-square-foot Herzog & de Meuron-designed building on Montauk Highway in Water Mill slated to open on November 10. Set to cost about $25 million, the new museum will sit on 14 acres of land and will be the first art museum built on the East End of Long Island in over a century. Its exhibition space has tripled, allowing for the museum to present an installation of permanent collections, which will be allotted 7600-square-feet at the same time as temporary exhibitions, slated to receive 4600-square-feet. In addition to the gallery space the 615-foot building will house, there will be a 2400-square-foot multipurpose room that can be configured for a range of uses, including film screenings, lectures, live performances, seminars, dinners and receptions. A cafe will be located next to the lobby and is expected to offer salads, sandwiches, desserts, as well as beer and wine. The cafe is expected to feature menu items from local vineyards and farms. Outside, the surrounding terrace will be used for festivals, performances and workshops. A cast concrete bench and covered walkway surround the museum.
“This will be a watershed moment not only for the museum, but also for the community,” said Parrish Director Terrie Sultan, referring to the new structure. “With this new building, the Parrish will take its rightful place as a major museum and a center for cultural engagement.” Two events will take place at the Jobs Lane location before the end of the year. The first is a Pecha
Kucha gathering on September 20, a rapid-fire presentation by members of the local creative community. Parrish Presents, the museum’s Thanksgiving weekend sale is scheduled for November 23 to November 25. The offices will remain at the Jobs Lane location until early to mid October. The grand opening of the new Parrish is scheduled for November 10. It will be free to the
general public and will continue throughout the long Veterans Day weekend to November 12. A series of special previews will begin on November 3 for museum donors, government officials, trustees, the building team, artists, members and community groups. Galleries have been closed since September 5 and will remain closed until November 9. emily@indyeastend.com

Refute Sole User Assertion By Kitty Merrill
Robert K. Otto is not the only carter that uses the town scavenger waste facility, company co-owner Lucille Garypie informed. Last Thursday night, the East Hampton Town Board hosted a public hearing on the notion of closing the plant temporarily. The town’s appointed Budget and Finance Advisory Committee’s report on the facility asserts the plant is essentially used by just one company, Garypie’s, and that 90 percent of the town’s carters already bring waste they pump from septic systems upisland. During a subsequent work session on the closure concept, Councilman Dominick Stanzione reported carters he spoke to said they could
get by if the option of a local transfer station came off the table. Not true, said Garypie last week. She was joined at the podium by five of the six local carters, all of whom said the closure of the plant would have a negative impact on their businesses. Some, like Jason Libath of J&J said the closure of the plant could lead to the closure of his business altogether. Garypie called into question statements made by Stanzione during public discussion of the potential closure. He’d said carters agreed they could “make do” if the plant closed. Garypie introduced four carters he’d never asked. Most of them said they could not “make do.” Local carters, she said, use the plant every day until its capacity is met, offering that she

was hurt by the misinformation disseminated about activities at the site. In fact, because the plant, which was downscaled from a processing facility to a transfer station earlier this year, has limited capacity, local carters are routinely turned away because capacity has been reached. That means companies that aren’t set up to drive upisland, like Libath’s, have to turn away customers, or even keep trucks filled with waste parked at their shops until they can pump out, as John Stafford from McMahon reported. The delay also means turning customers away. “We do use the plant,” said Skip Norsic of Emil Norsic & Son, Inc. If his company is forced to go upisland to Riverhead or Bergen Point, “I see us not being able to satisfy our customers.” Overall, Garypie summarized, only companies that have a lot of

big accounts find trips out of town cost effective. Last year, with an eye towards selling the plant to a private firm, Supervisor Bill Wilkinson crafted an operating budget that did not include funding for running it. The sale did not occure, which left officials grappling to plug a sixfigure hole, and come up with the estimated $30,000 per month cost of running the facility. Some of the carters don’t just want to see the plant remain in operation, they’d also like to see it improved to increase capacity. So far, however, it seems town board members are more eager to be shed of the current costs than interested in adding more. Arthur Malman of the budget committee underscored the plant’s limited capacity and asked rhetorically whether the cost to run the plant compares to the benefit it provides. “A 10,000 gallon per day facility just doesn’t make economic sense,” he said. Does it make sense to continue to operate a transfer station that doesn’t really fit the needs of the community? he asked. Then there’s the environmental aspect. Bob DeLuca of the Group for the East End, Peconic Baykeeper Kevin McAllister, and Jeremy Samuelson of the Concerned Citizens of Montauk all weighed in on the need for East Hampton Town to conduct a comprehensive waste management study. DeLuca opined it might be time to take the time to look carefully at overall wastewater management. A lot of houses that were built during booms in the 90s and more recently are eventually going to need septic system servicing, he pointed out. Samuelson described the potential closure as “an off season time out” that would give officials the chance to consider the big picture — not just current needs, but those in 10 or 20 years. McAllister reminded the town needs to deal with the wastewater issues alone. East Hampton can’t rely on the state or the county to address the problem because, he said, “They’re not doing their job.” Margaret Turner of the East Hampton Business Alliance said her group favors a temporary closure. It would afford the town the time needed to clean up pollution under the plant, plus give relief to neighbors that have been “tortured” by odors emanating from the facility. There’s “no question” toxic plumes exist under the plant and the adjacent town landfill, Turner said. Thorough testing of the groundwater must be conducted and a cleanup implemented as part of a comprehensive waste management plan. The first priority must be protecting the groundwater “regardless of the cost involved,” she said. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Immigration Forum Friday On Friday, at Bridgehampton National Bank in Bridgehampton, Congressman Tim Bishop will host an information forum on the new immigration policy giving undocumented young people relief from deportation. The forum, in the Community Room of the Bridgehampton National Bank’s location at 2200 Montauk Highway, will feature a presentation from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Field Office in Holtsville on the new policy, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Under the policy, effective June 18, certain young people who were brought to the United States as young children will be considered for relief from deportation proceedings, provided they do not present a risk to national security or public safety and meet several key criteria. Young people meeting the criteria will also be eligible for work authorization for a renewable period of two years. Nearly 30 undocumented young people eligible for relief from deportation under a new federal policy attended a recent information forum at the Patchogue Fire House hosted by Congressman Bishop. The services of a lawyer are not required to apply for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Bishop urged anyone with questions, or anyone wishing to RSVP for Friday, to contact his office at 631-289-6500. K.M.

TCOs: On The Mean Streets
By Sergei Klebnikov
Who are they? Why do these kids spend their summer directing traffic in one of the busiest places on Long Island? After talking to a few of them, one learns why these young people, some still in high school, are out
directing traffic in East Hampton during their summer. For most of them, traffic control is the first step toward working for the police department. The youngest Traffic Control Officers out there are still in high school, while others can be just out of college.
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
At the first crosswalk coming into town, RJ Anderson and John Grogan, aged 16 and 17, are both still students at East Hampton High. The main reason for starting out so early was, as Anderson described, because becoming a traffic control officers was a “good
IN THE NEWS
way to start in law enforcement.” Another example is Eric Fisher, 23, who studied criminal justice in college and is now working as a TCO to gain experience. To become a TCO, anyone can apply, but you must have finished sophomore year of high school. There is a process of filling out an application from the police station as well as attending an interview. You don’t have to be a cop to get the job, and for some people it can be a simple summer job. Nevertheless, the TCOs at the crosswalks of East Hampton are mostly looking into a career of law enforcement, hence their reason for applying. Most of them are year round locals as well. The traffic directors of busy East Hampton work a 40-hour week, with either a 9 AM to 5 PM or 10 AM to 6 PM shift. The officers’ jobs become even more difficult when traffic increases drastically on weekends. The population of East Hampton Town at least doubles over the summer, yet another difficulty TCOs must deal with. Although directing traffic all day might seem less than exciting, many of the TCOs end up confronting unusual situations during their shifts. Veteran officer Eric Midgett, who has been directing traffic for five years since he was sixteen, recounted the story of an elderly lady in a Land Rover who came screaming to traffic cops about a dog being trapped in a car, with the windows rolled up in 100 degree weather. When cops arrived to save the doomed dog trapped in the boiling car, they found the windows rolled down and a happy dog in the backseat. RJ Anderson also described that on his crosswalk, most people are almost “afraid to walk on the white lines” when they cross the street. One long time EH resident who asked not to be identified said about the TCOs, “They look so young, and out-of-towners can show a lack of respect for their authority, but on the whole they do an excellent job.” As Traffic Control Supervisor Robert Jahoda put it, being a traffic control officer is a “good job, but a tough job.” In the end, it’s “rewarding to help the community.”

They’re Not “Thru” Yet By Kitty Merrill
It’s either a nightmare or no big deal, depending on the point of view. Speakers of divergent opinion addressed the East Hampton Town Board last Thursday night on the concept of closing the Miller Lane neighborhood to through traffic. Fo r G e o r g e C a f i s o , i t ’ s a nightmare. He has lived on Indian Hill Road for 40 years, and traffic has become so intense, he said, “We can’t get out of our own driveway in the morning.” Motorists looking to bypass the Cedar/North Main Street intersection in East Hampton, he said, enter his subdivision and drive like it’s a “speedway.” He said neighbors are afraid to let their children play outside and the drivers coming through are rude. He wants the town board to make his road a one-way street so drivers can’t access it from North Main Street. Louise and David Cheney feel differently. They live on the first house on Miller Lane, and, according to Louise, their driveway is often used as a turnaround. “David and I are okay with that,“ she said. The roads belong to the public, and by Tuesday morning after Labor Day she reported, “There was no traffic.” Louise Cheney said she would hate to see the roads restricted for such a seasonal problem. “If we could just be patient,” she said, adding, “It is difficult and it is inconvenient and it is short term.” Extra summer traffic is part of living in the community, she pointed out. She opposes the closure of the lanes to non-residents, because, “They’re
Let

everybody’s roads.” David Cheney explained that he and his wife decided to come to town hall that night because a neighbor had come to their door with a petition looking to close off the roads to through traffic. “These streets are for everybody,” he emphasized. Cheney characterized the summer congestion as “not a big problem.” If drivers are prohibited from turning off Cedar Street onto Miller Lane, traffic will back up all the way to Cooper Lane, he predicted. S u p e r v i s o r B i l l Wi l k i n s o n said he’d observed traffic at the bottom of Indian Hill Road and was sympathetic. Although Highway Superintendent Steve Lynch has said it’s illegal to close off public
www.indyeastend.com
roads, Wilkinson said he’d spoken with Police Chief Ed Ecker and such an action would, indeed, be enforceable. Several times, the supervisor noted drivers are using the Miller Lanes as a shortcut. He didn’t expand to explain why a shortcut is such an onerous thing. Councilman Dominick Stanzione offered that his concern is safety. David Cheney countered that piling up traffic on the main roads would be “disastrous,” and ultimately impact safety as drivers become frustrated with the gridlock. Board members agreed to discuss the issue further at their next work session, slated to be held as The Independent went to press yesterday. Still, they passed a resolution to hold a public hearing on the proposed restrictions later this month. Stanzione noted the “larger
September 12, 2012 15
issue” is traffic on North Main Street and how to improve movement there. In a conversation with The Independent following the meeting, he said crafting a longer right turn lane by eliminating a handful of parking spaces on North Main Street might be worth considering. During the meeting, there was no testimony or discussion of closing off the Miller Lanes and Indian Hill Road to heavy truck traffic, though it is part of the proposed legislation. A while back East Hampton Village closed lanes that feed into Cedar Street to truck traffic. With those roads also used to bypass the village, area residents asked village officials to close them to through traffic as well. They didn’t support the notion, deeming the closure of public roads to the public unenforceable. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Support In “Paradise” Hundreds of well-wishers chomped hot dogs, slurped fresh clams and quaffed soda on the grounds of East Hampton High School Saturday evening at a barbecue fundraiser for Doris Quigley, the town lifeguard and EHHS student who broke her neck last month. Originally paralyzed, she’s currently making progress at the NYU Medical Rusk Rehabilitation Center. Speaking to the incredible turnout, despite unpleasant weather predictions that prompted a change of venue from Atlantic Avenue Beach, her mom, East Hampton Town Councilwoman Theresa Quigley wrote, via email on Monday, “How can we possibly adequately express our gratitude? It is so deep and so overwhelming that a thank you is completely inadequate. What a community we live in. It is indeed paradise, and the support of the Hampton Lifeguard Association, Ocean Rescue, and the East Hampton High School communities, for putting on the event and all the hundreds of people who came to show their compassion for Doris, one of East Hampton’s own, shows that the paradise is not just in appearance, but in a depth of caring and connection that we sometimes can lose track of, especially in the throes of summer. “The biggest thanks, however, is to each and every lifeguard, not just those on Atlantic that day who saved our Doris’ life and saved her from more injury, but to all of them, and to John Ryan Jr, and all of those dedicated members of the lifeguard family whose hard work and expert training proved its value in saving our Doris’ life and protecting her from further harm. Thank you.” She signed the missive with all the family members’ names -Theresa, Tom, Sally, Helen, Joseph, Rodger, and Doris Quigley. K.M.

Town Board Considers CPF, Beach Erosion By Emily Toy
Preservation Fund management and stewardship plan to include additional properties in several of the town’s hamlets, with the most being in North Sea (50 acres) and in Quogue (185 acres). In Sagaponack, the town board is seeking to authorize the acquisition of about 22 acres on Montauk Highway for farmland preservation at a cost of nearly $10.3 million to the town’s CPF. In Bridgehampton, the town board is looking to acquire a 3.7acre vacant parcel of land on Narrow Lane, for the amount of $650,000. In Remsenburg/Speonk, the town will seek to pick up a 1.04-acre vacant parcel of land for $425,000. All the formerly mentioned property matters expected to be resolved later today, and ultimately purchased by the town, are expected to strengthen the Community Preservation Project Plan, which identifies target areas and properties for acquisition for park, recreation, open space and conservation purposes. emily@indyeastend.com
Gearing up for its meeting later this afternoon at 1 PM, the Southampton Town Board has several topics slated for consideration from the agenda drafted on Friday afternoon. Tw o p u b l i c h e a r i n g s a r e scheduled for today to consider authorizing improvements to beach erosion control districts in Bridgehampton and Sagaponack. This will be the third public hearing on the control districts for the beach “renourishment” project expected to cost $24 million. In other Southampton news, Councilwoman Christine Preston Scalera sponsored emergency drainage repairs to the Sagg Beach Culvert on Sagg Road in Sagaponack. The drains unexpectedly collapsed, forcing the water levels to reach an extremely low elevation, endangering the safety and welfare of the general public. Southampton’s Highway Department contracted with Terra Tech Site Development for $4250 to remedy the problem. Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst is expected to authorize an amendment to the Community

RICK’S SPACE A Men’s Guide To The Menstrual Cycle This week is National Menstrual Cycle Week according to our news editor, Kitty Merrill, who suggested I write about it. She did this because she realizes I am somewhat of an expert on the fairer sex and she knows first hand that I truly understand women. Most men, on the other hand, don’t understand the Menstrual Cycle, which is why I am writing this handy guide. First, the basics. Women begin Locally Owned & Operated
experiencing menstruation at about the age of 13. The cycle runs for approximately 37 years, during which, depending on the time of the month, women can be whiney, ornery, or argumentative, depending on a number of factors. At the end of 37 years the Menstrual Cycle ends and the years of whining and bitching are replaced with psychotic, delusional behavior, which lasts until senility or death, whichever comes first.

There are three stages woman experiences each month, which is how long the Menstrual Cycle runs (except for February). The first stage of the cycle is the Premenstrual, also known as PMS – premenstrual syndrome. This part of the cycle is marked by somewhat odd behavior oftentimes. The medical journal says there are, “a group of symptoms linked to the menstrual cycle that can affect menstruating women of any age.” On rare occasions women are known to be a bit unreasonable during this time, which typically lasts about 24 days. Then comes the actual period, which is often preceded by a comma (and sometimes followed by a parenthetical phrase). This lasts about four to six days. On the last day of the cycle women are completely normal and happy. Most men have learned this is the day to really take advantage of their wives’ giving nature and desire to please. In other words, this is the day to plan a round of golf with the guys. On this day, and this day alone, women are able to give a simple straightforward answer, unlike the other 29 or 30 days depending on the month, when the physical changes that make women women, force them to say a lot of words when a few would suffice. Men are just the opposite — men typically answer questions with one-word answers. “Ya want another beer?” “Yes.”

IN THE NEWS
“Do you want to go to the antique show?” “No.” “Do you want me to drive?” “NO!” Try any of these simple questions on a woman when she is PMSing. She will not answer, but will in rapid fire manner ask numerous questions instead. “Want a beer?” “Oh! Is that supposed to be funny? Oh, so our children will be able to tell the guidance teacher that they have two parents who drink in the afternoon? Am I the only person in this household that realizes sacrifices have to be made and that one of us has to do the important stuff that needs doing around here like um, putting the nail polish on?” The husband will pause but not answer, but he will be rejoicing inside, because there were only two beers left in the fridge and he didn’t want to share, but was willing to because he loves so fully. When women are in the midst of “that time of month” time itself is hard to gauge. They will often say stuff like “I have wasted the entire day cleaning your damn underwear!” You will have to refrain from pointing out it’s only 8:30 in the morning. Here are some remedies when experiencing a really rough Menstrual Cycle: Medication: proper medication can sooth some of the more painful effects. In other words, men should consider taking Valium before coming home from work. Diversion: A new puppy will give women something to focus on during these trying days of menstruation — in other words, something else to yell at. Gourmet Food: There is no medicine like a gourmet meal to soothe the soul. So buy some TV dinners for the Missus, tell her you’re working late, and go to that great Italian restaurant you’ve been eying up. WAIT! This is selfish and crude behavior on your part. She expects more from the man she fell in love with. Go to the sports bar and have wings and watch the game — you’ll feel good you’re doing your part. Epilogue: Merrill told me this was National Menstrual Cycle week Friday. As regular readers know, I spend a great deal of time crafting this column. So after laboring over it all weekend – yes, I missed all the football games – I decided to fact check, because that’s what editors do (I think . . . or at least I heard someone say that once). It turns out next week is National Farm Animals Week. This week is “National Suicide Prevention Week” which means if you are a suicidal farm animal you face a conundrum.

EDITORIAL
Who Said What? Tim Bishop has taken to the Boob Tube to address controversies he refuses to discuss with the press. In his latest ad he looks into the camera and states: “My opponent, Randy Altschuler, says I’m a criminal. You know me and you know for Randy Altschuler to say that is just despicable.” The trouble is, Altschuler never said anything of the sort. It was Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington who said, a couple of weeks ago, “If you get a campaign contribution to thank you for an official act, that’s called a gratuity, and that’s a federal crime.” She was referring to Bishop, whose daughter Molly solicited a constituent for a large contribution after he had asked Bishop for a favor. Bishop wants the matter to go away, so he crafts a television ad that implies his opponent made the charge up. The New York Post, Newsday, and The New York Daily News have all called for a congressional probe, among many other publications. Shouldn’t Bishop look into the TV camera and say, “Lots of people think I’m a criminal?” Last month another respected Washington DC-based watchdog group lambasted Bishop on another matter – paying his daughter almost $600,000 and counting. The Congressman defended the hire, stating Molly Bishop is a fundraiser. We doubt Christie Brinkley, Alec Baldwin, Alan Alda et al knew about the arrangement. In essence, as campaign contributions roll in Bishop turns around and hands his daughter a check – and he didn’t have very far to go: Bishop and his daughter worked in the same building until recently. If Tim Bishop doesn’t see anything wrong with that we question his judgment. If Bishop, always forthright in past, continues to hide behind a wall of self-serving press releases and TV ads that are simply not true, the inevitable conclusion can rightfully be drawn — he’s hiding something. Had the shoe been on the other foot – had Altschuler committed a transgression – Bishop
Independent VOICES
Deeper In Debt
Dear Editor, Another week, another disappointing jobs report. And, predictably, still no plan put forward by incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop to fix this economic mess. Congressman Bishop likes to blame other people for the economic woes facing Long Island. In Tim Bishop’s world, he’s never accountable. He never takes responsibility. It’s always some else’s fault. Well, the fact of the matter is that Tim Bishop deserves his share of the blame for our dismal economy and soaring unemployment here on Long Island. According to the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 45,272 more people unemployed on Long Island today than there were the day that Tim Bishop was sworn into Congress nearly a decade ago. Long Island’s unemployment rate has risen from 5.2 percent all the way up to 8 percent. That’s a 54 percent increase! Congressman Bishop’s repeated votes for trillions in higher taxes, more spending and irresponsible debt have helped to cripple Long Island’s economy and put our nation more than $16 trillion in debt. His rabid support for President Obama’s big government takeover of healthcare has only made it worse for small businesses too afraid to hire new workers. The $700 billion in cuts to Medicare and multitude of new tax increases that are being implemented to pay for Obamacare will only make Suffolk County a more

would be all over it. In fact, he’s still beating the “outsourcer” horse. Why shouldn’t his opponent do likewise? Bishop said he’s “open” to a congressional ethics probe. What he hasn’t done is formally call for one, and ask it be expedited so it concludes before the election. Anything less is a tacit admission that he has abused his office, regardless of what the TV ads say. Yes, Altschuler has joined the chorus of people who think Bishop should voluntarily submit to a congressional probe, but the allegations against Bishop have been made by reputable, respected watchdog groups. The Airport Belongs To Everyone There are more than a few folks from Bridgehampton and Noyac up in arms over helicopter and aircraft noise since apparently some flights have been re-routed over their neighborhoods. Some folks at a recent meeting voiced the opinion that this is an East Hampton problem, and that somehow the powers-that-be at the airport are intruding on their space. Yes, it is East Hampton Airport – but it serves Bridgehampton and eastern Southampton Town as well. In other words, folks may land in East Hampton, but many head to Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, and elsewhere. On another note, it’s a shame that some people used the recent accident at the airport to renew calls for its closure. The airport has been around for the better part of a century and has an excellent safety record. The argument would be akin to closing every road on which a serious accident occurs. We are a resort community with an airport. Shakers and movers who use it keep our real estate industry healthy and property values stable as a result. It’s not going to close – in fact, we are lucky we have one here. In a couple years the copters, like jets before them, will doubtless be a lot easier on the ears. In the meantime let’s work together to mitigate the noise as best we can, and sharing the inconvenience is as good a remedy as any.
expensive place to live, work, raise a family and retire. It’s clear that we need to change Congress. And we can start by changing our Congressman. I am running with a specific 10-point plan to create jobs, boost small businesses and grow Long Island’s economy. My plan will help to make Suffolk County more affordable for middle-class families, small businesses, and seniors on a fixed income already struggling to pay sky-high property taxes. I urge you to read the whole plan or call my campaign headquarters at 631-7759230 and we will send you a copy. With your support for me on November 6, we will work together to fix the mess in Washington and move Suffolk County in a new, more positive direction. RANDY ALTSCHULER
Important Contest
Dear Editor, Thank you for the cover and story in last week’s issue highlighting the September 13 Democratic primary for the New York State Senate. You do a service by letting people know about this contest which gets so little attention because it’s only for one race, only within one party, and happening on a September Thursday instead of a November Tuesday. I’m writing partly to restate this information, so that it gets to as many people as possible: Tomorrow there will be a primary election for the Democratic nomination for state senator from the 1st District, which is the five East End towns and part of Brookhaven. The candidates are CONTINUED ON PAGE 20.

Continued from page 19. Southampton Town Councilwoman Bridget Fleming of Sag Harbor and attorney Jennifer Maertz of Rocky Point. The winner will face the incumbent, Republican Senator Ken LaValle, in the November general election. Voting is for registered Democrats from 6 AM to 9 PM at all the regular polling places. I’m also writing to say why I support Bridget Fleming in this election. The primary is to pick the better candidate to oppose Ken LaValle, a 36-year incumbent with lots of resources. Bridget Fleming is the better candidate because she has by far the stronger record as a mediator, fraud prosecutor, and twice-elected Southampton Town Councilwoman who, as the only Democrat on the Board, achieved substantial accomplishments by working with Republicans, Independents and Conservatives. Ms. Fleming has obtained almost 40 percent more Democratic petition signatures than Ms. Maertz, and has raised almost seven times as much money. Like it or not, money counts in elections, until the bright day when we change that. Bridget Fleming is endorsed by the Working Families Party and will thus be on the November ballot in any event, plus being endorsed by a long list of unions and civic organizations. She is, and comes across as, highly experienced, informed and motivated to fight for Long Island families. As a longtime prosecutor, Bridget Fleming has the street smarts to deal with the predators in Albany. Unlike her opponent, Bridget Fleming has scored real achievements for the community, among them helping to restore Southampton’s surplus and credit, youth training in construction and retailing, health insurance benefits for fire and EMT volunteers, keeping local jobs by a utility poles law, and working to draw green industry with sustainability measures. If you’re a registered Democrat, please get out and vote on September 13. GEORGE LYNCH
Dems Da Facts Dear Rick, In your 8/29 issue there was another letter from Reg Cornelia referring to an earlier letter which in turn was citing yet another. It reminded me as a child, watching the Perils of Pauline chapters at our local movie house. At this point I was curious to see what subject could possibly require so many rebuttals. Initially there was a response to a letter

Are you looking forward to going back to school? Charlie Koepp I’m not that happy about going back. I’m going into the fourth grade. There’s going to be so much to learn. And they’re going to give us a lot of long tests. Especially in math and science, which aren’t my favorites. But the good thing about fall is football. Billy Latham I’m going from middle school to high school. I’m not so happy about it because I’m going to be new all over again. It’s like, there you are . . . you’re a senior at middle school and then boom . . . you go right back to being new again. Nino Facendola I feel pretty good about going back. I am looking forward to seeing all my friends again. And I really like my teacher, Mr. Smith. I’m going to be in the sixth grade. I’m looking forward to maybe playing soccer and baseball this year. I think I’ll like that. Charlie Barter I’ll miss summer vacation for sure but I’m kind of looking forward to school and getting to see my friends again. I like gym the best. And I like playing baseball at school. Sometimes I play second and sometimes outfield. So that will be good.
from a John Molnar in which he decried the obscene amount of money plus its inequity, spent to secure the Walker Wisconsin election, $30.5 million to his opponent’s $3.1 million. He pointed out that that much of the influx of outside money was made possible by the outrageous Supreme Court’s “Citizens United” decision and how that decision would effect future elections. He feared that it would literally put them up for sale and that the Wisconsin debacle was proof of that. Mr. Cornelia rebutted the letter supplying his own figures and personal facts to discredit the letter. He also championed the “Citizens United” Supreme Court decision that corporations and unions were “People” and as such had freedom of speech including the freedom to contribute as much to their chosen Party’s candidate as they chose. In the following letter, a Mr. Delagado commented critically on Mr. Cornelia’s letter, pointing out that it was filled with inaccuracies, misquotes, and outright distortions in his effort to disprove the Molnar letter and solidify his own. Mr. Delgado then proceeded to correct Mr. Cornelia’s contentions one by one, replacing them with reality. Finally this latest 8/29 letter in the continuing saga, Mr. Cornelia doubled down on his original statements massaging them to somehow make them seem less
outlandish. Mr. Cornelia is the first person I have read in the Indy letters that actually believes that corporations as well as unions are “People” as per our 5/4 “non-biased” Supreme Court. This decision would be an abomination even if the corporations could not buy and sell the unions an infinite number of times over as they can and indeed had in Wisconsin. When a corporation “Person” is executed in Texas I may reconsider but I’d also like to see one enter a voting booth; such idiocy. I’m certain Mr. Cornelia will rebut this letter as well but I’m all rebutted out and say, good night to Pauline. Mr. Cornelia, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, “Everyone is entitled to their opinion but not to their own facts.” CARL FELDMAN
Scav Issues Dear Rick, Last Thursday’s meeting provided the community with the first opportunity to present their views on the Scavenger Waste Plant. This station provides an essential municipal service to all taxpayers, and before jumping into action there are several important considerations and questions that should be taken into account. Firstly, there should be a long-range CONTINUED ON PAGE 21.

plan researched by the town board. Until last Thursday’s meeting the supervisor and deputy supervisor have done nothing about this issue except kick it down the road like a tin can. Their idea is to privatize the plant. The Planning Department and the Natural Resource Departments are the ideal governmental groups to work on this issue. Should the station be (temporarily) closed while these departments and the board work on the issues? Should the station facility be modernized? There needs to be more data and cost benefit analysis. There is more need for pertinent research to inform the public before this community source is gone for good. Kudos to Sylvia Overby for awakening us all to the importance of this problem! NAOMI SALZ
Long Term Solution To The Editor, The Town Board is jeopardizing our safety by contemplating closing the scavenger waste plant. No temporary or permanent closing makes sense. The plant receives pump-outs from cesspools and septic tanks. A closing would cause extreme hardship and unnecessary added expenses to many town residents. Local small truck carters who serve residential houses testified at a public town board hearing last week that they would be put out of business if the transfer station were closed. Small truck operators serve local residents whose septic systems or cesspools back up. They would have no way of fixing their problem. Fecal material would back up into their kitchen sinks! The board should undertake studies to evolve a long-term solution to this problem. The shortsighted privatization approach is no way to go. Our government must be in charge and control of this vital service to assure the safety and welfare of our residents and the preservation of our land. DAVID J. WEINSTEIN

It was certainly hazy, probably foggy. Sunrise on August 28 was 6:12, so it still wasn’t full daylight. The tide was nearing its peak – high tide on August 28 in Montauk was at 6:40. In other words, the beach was at its narrowest. A K-9 unit had difficulty picking up his scent on the path, but police concede a lot of people use it during the season – the motels that line Old Montauk Highway are all filled to capacity, and guests typically spend nice days on the beach. Richardson, according to friends, wasn’t an avid swimmer. He had his familiar orange cap on, and probably shorts and a short sleeve shirt. He was wearing running shoes. What happened on that beach – if indeed Richardson went down the path – is not known. Perhaps

he was walking and was startled by a rogue wave and swept away. It wouldn’t be unusual for remains to wash ashore in New England weeks or even months later. It is possible Richardson encountered beach drivers. It was foggy, the surf was pounding, and there are frequently trucks on the beach. Perhaps he broke from his routine and made an impetuous dive into the tempting surf and was swept away by a rip tide. The most likely theory is that Richardson drowned. According to police, there were others strolling on the beach, and one witness saw a man in the water sitting on a Boogie Board. It would have had to be a spontaneous decision to jump in the surf, but friends said Richardson seldom acted on the spur of the moment. Check indyeastend.com for up to the minute developments.
Access your inner Trump and help a kid out at the same time. Deb Mansir, the School to Work coordinator at East Hampton High School is looking for community members and business owners to act as potential bosses in mock interviews with students. Ersatz interviewers will question the kids, then critique them on an established criteria, such as eye contact, attire, body language, and “monosyllabic responses.” “We’re trying to set up as much of a real world experience as possible,” Mansir said. In its sixth year, the program gives students what is sometimes their first chance to experience an interview setting – an experience that will hopefully help when they sit down face to face with college administrators or real potential employers. The workshop will be held on September 25, from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Want to help out? Contact Mansir at dmansir@ehufsd.org or 631329-6462. K.M.

end of last year and went to work at Huntington Hospital, where he was Vice President of Development. Hospital spokesperson Julie Robinson-Tingue said Richardson “oversaw all the fundraising and community relations.” He was upwardly mobile, she noted from his resume. When he left St. John’s his title was as Executive Director of Development and Alumni Relations. Before St. John’s he worked at Hofstra University, where he earned an MBA after graduation from Fairfield. Robinson-Tingue said the family did not wish to comment. She said Richardson “was in good shape, active an outdoorsy type. This is extremely bizarre, baffling,

and upsetting.” The Briney Breezes is just a few blocks west of 7-Eleven. “The detectives came here,” a man identified as the manager said. “They checked the video – every day, 24 hours. They had pictures of Richardson and his family. They found nothing. They were never here.” There is a picture of Richardson posted at John’s DriveIn, and no one saw him there, either. A manager of the IGA had no knowledge of the matter. “During the summer there’s millions of people in here with kids. The place is packed.” She said there is a security tape, but police haven’t checked it. Mike Quane worked with Richardson during the nineties and has stayed in touch with him.

“He’s a really great guy.” He said Richardson wasn’t a drinker, womanizer, or gambler. “We had a warm relationship. You’d kind of know if those things were going on.” Quane said he was “infuriated” by some of the comments made by bloggers at the end of a story published in Newsday. “These people have nothing better to do.” Some likened the saga to the Richard Roth disappearance – he later turned up alive and was arrested for insurance fraud. Anderson also said that there were occasional “copy cat” crimes, though he doubted that was the case. Another blogger posted, Richardson “probably got the idea of ‘drowning and missing’ from the movie Sleeping with the Enemy.” Several suggested Richardson

absconded with funds he raised for the hospital. Quane said there was no chance of anything like that happening. “I know what kind of man George is. He’s one of the most decent people I have ever met.” Anderson said a man was spotted on a Boogie Board in the water that morning. Though Richardson didn’t have one with him, “every day we collect three or four of them from the beach.” There have been numerous tips, some far-fetched, all followed up by investigators to no avail. Richardson, an avid Miami Dolphins fan, was well liked and respected. “It’s very difficult to talk about,” said Ann Marie Thornby, a co-worker at Huntington Hospital. “He was dedicated to his family.”

“Betty Boop” is hoping no one will notice. Underneath her pretty red polka dot dress is a pit bull mix. But what really matters is the dog that lies within. And the truth is, she is a wonderful dog who adores children. RSVP volunteers first encountered Hannah (her original name) chained at a construction site and without shelter. Her litter of puppies had been taken from her and sold. RSVP brought her to a vet and she has been in foster care since February. Her foster mom must return to school and Hannah must be returned to RSVP. The all-volunteer, 501c3 animal rescue group does not have a facility and they are desperately seeking someone who can provide her with a temporary or permanent home. She is about three to four years
young and weighs 45 pounds. Hannah is a couch potato and is content to just lounge around. She’s an easy-to-maintain mush. Great for a senior companion with visiting grandchildren.

Hampton Bays Pulls Shocking Upset By Rick Murphy
Most of the local teams compete in Suffolk’s Division IV, and every team is looking up at Glenn, a legitimate powerhouse that has won two consecutive Long Island Championships in its division. On Friday, though, Hampton Bays, 4-6 in 2011, proved the Knights aren’t invincible when they stunned the defending champions 21-20 -- on the loser’s home field, no less. Justin Carbone threw for one touchdown -- a six-yard strike to Justin Robinson -- and added 45 yards on nine carries on the ground. Trey Kennedy ran for 80 yards and a score, and Cody Nolan added 71 on 10 carries. It was the Baymen defense that stifled Glenn’s potent offense that deserved the most accolades, though . . . Credit Alex Lane and Ryan Cavanaugh, who combined for 14 tackles. Cavanaugh also picked off an errant Matt Shanerman pass to quash a Glenn drive. East Hampton, after getting hammered by similar-sized schools, moved down to Division IV, to compete against primarily smaller classification schools. Alas, the results were the same – on Friday Babylon crushed the locals 447. Peter Vaziri scored the lone touchdown on a pass from Cortland Heneveld in the second quarter. It was the only pass Bonac completed on the day. The locals travel to Stony Brook Friday night for a 7:30 game. Babylon was a solid 8-3 last season. East Hampton was 0-8. The Westhampton Hurricanes traveled to Comsewogue last Friday in a Division III contest and came away with a 21-12 victory. Veteran quarterback Jack Murphy was coolly efficient. Completing 8 of 11 for 145 yards. Brian Culhane caught a 62-yard touchdown pass, and the Hurricanes four-pronged running attack totaled 165 yards. Eric Gagne had 96 on 17 carries and added a touchdown. The Hurricanes play their home opener Friday at 6:30 PM when Harborfields comes to the village. The locals have their sights set

on the Sayville Golden Flashes, last season’s Cinderella team that earned the overall Long Island Championship. Sayville crushed Bellport 49-13 Saturday. In other action, Mercy got past Center Moriches 20-12 and Southampton bested Wyandanch 21-14. Lyle Smith scored all three touchdowns for the Mariners, including a three-yard fourth quarter plunge that clinched the game. Mattituck/Southold/Greenport Shelter Island lost its opener at
Stony Brook 38-21. The Tuckers get a tough home opener Friday at 7 PM when Hampton Bays rolls in. Also this week Southampton travels to McGann/Mercy Saturday for a 1:30 PM tiff; and Riverhead travels to West Islip the same day for a 9 AM affair. The Blue Wave, competing in the cutthroat Division II, made an early statement last Saturday, pasting West Babylon 42-0. Ryan “Air” Blitzer was at it again, throwing for two scores and running for another. Jeremiah Cheatom, the next great
Riverhead running back, bulled his way for 163 yards in only 11 carries, including a 62-yard first quarter touchdown scamper. Glenn still figures to be the team to beat in Conference IV though Hampton Bays must now be considered a contender. Babylon will look for quarterback Nick Santorelli to get the ball to a pair of excellent wideouts, Jake Carlock and Ray Wardell. Tyler Anderson, a standout on both sides of the ball, leads Shoreham/Wading River as the Wildcats look to improve on last season’s 6-3 mark. East Hampton, with Heneveld still only a junior, should find the new league more competitive and the bus rides more accommodating.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Chief of Staff, First District Southern Region, USCG Aux, US Coast Guard Licensed Master
Sounding Smart On The Radio There is a natural tendency to shy away from the unfamiliar, especially when you can’t get the words back. Remember the first time you were faced with a phone message machine: “leave your answer after the beep – BEEP!” Now what? Even today, that beep can strike fear into the hearts of some. How about multiplying that a hundred-fold to everyone tuned to channel 16 . . .
Some Basics Unless you know the cell phone number of every boater in your vicinity, your only source of help is your radio. You don’t have one, you say? Stop reading and check yourself in someplace because that is simply nutty. Your radio is likely to be your only source of help and you go to sea without one? Over a couple of hundred dollars? And Westmarine, for one, will give you a three-year warranty in the price. Come on, Bunky, where else can we skimp with such potentially disastrous results? Let’s assume we all have a radio, even if only a 5watt handheld, aboard. Calls fall into three categories and if you use the introduction properly, you will save essential time with US Coast Guard Forces. Tune it to VHF channel 16 and leave it there. Imminent Loss Of Life Aboard The all-familiar “May-day, Mayday, May-day” is the ultimate. It means, “I need help right now.

There is imminent risk to lives aboard my vessel.” Emanating from the sinking of the Titanic, the term comes from the French for “help me!” “M’aide”. Would you use it if there wasn’t imminent threat to lives? No. What, then, do you use?
Someone To Watch Over Me “Pan-pan, pan-pan, pan-pan” (said “pahn”) is the introduction to indicate that a high level of concern exists and advice, at a minimum, is needed. You’re taking on water but you have it generally under control - but you wisely want the USCG to keep an eye on you. Or you are coming in during a heavy storm, are struggling but maintaining steerage - but want the USCG to keep an eye on you. Don’t be bashful. Get on that radio and have someone watch over you. Someone To Look Out For Me “Security-security-security” (often said with the French pronunciation – “secure-a-tay”). You are coming into the inlet at night, can’t see anybody but worried, as you should be, that there is somebody there. You’re coming back from Montauk during a foggy day and you are on the rhumb line from the Montauk sea buoy towards the Moriches sea buoy. Someone going from Moriches to Montauk will be on a reciprocal course to

Hal Marschall of Merrick was elected to the position of Deputy National Commodore of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, responsible for all CG Auxiliary matters from Maine to Florida and recreational boating safety on a national basis. District Chief of Staff Vincent Pica of Westhampton, was elected to the position of District Commodore for the First District Southern Region, encompassing eastern New York, north from the Battery to Canada, and east to Montauk, northern New Jersey, Vermont and Connecticut. yours – in the fog. Put out the security call.
Now What Do I Say? What you say next will save time and possibly save your life. Identify yourself (the name of the boat – if you don’t have one, make something up right then “motor vessel ‘Charlie’”) and, most important, the nature of your distress and where you are! For example, “Pahn-pahn, pahnpahn, pahn-pahn, this is the motorvessel Charlie. We are taking on water and are 10 miles due south of Moriches Inlet. Over.” When the USCG hears that, they will come right back to you (if they don’t within, say, a minute, hail them again.) Note that I finished my hail with the word “over.” This means I am finished talking and hoping to hear back. (There is no such sign-
off, despite the movies, as “over and out.” “Out” means I am done talking and I don’t want to talk to you any more. “Over” means I am done talking and I do want to talk to you some more.) The rest will be pretty straightforward for the private boat captain. USCG Forces will essentially take over the conversational and situational control at that point. They will gather essential information (How many people aboard?) and direct you to take action consistent with the risk of the situation (Get everyone in life jackets.) They will also put out an urgent call to all boaters in your vicinity to render assistance if they can, as Good Samaritans. And, if the risk warrants it, they will get underway within minutes of your hail. Get a radio – and sound safe and smart out there!

Fishing Report
Inlet Has Bass And Blues Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean Some better news this week on the fluke front, hearing of a bit of a better ration of keepers in the mix. The bay is still the place, both west and east parts. You have to work hard and move around a bit to find your limit. The inlet has both bass and blues. The bass are not in great numbers but they are falling for clam and live baits. The monster blues are down on the bottom. Still there are reports of triggerfish around the inlet. The bridge produced a few nice bass this week as well for both the chummers and live baiters. Due to the inlet’s rough condition not many smaller
boaters ventured outside for any seabass.
Peconic Bay & Points East Peconic Bay is beginning to cool and the bite is getting a bit better with a mixed bag of fish making it to the cooler. Porgies, fluke, snapper, and a couple of weakfish. Bass should begin to filter in, in a few weeks following the bait.
Surf/Shore Bound/Canal The inlets have monster bluefish on the bottom. Try using a 47 or a three ounce bucktail if you want to tangle with one. A few bass have fallen for clams and bucktail here,
