Budding Artists Bloom At Guild Hall By Kitty Merrill

This is not your typical Hamptons art show . . . and they’re not your typical artists. They’re younger -- lots younger. And there are plenty of them -- over 5000. This Saturday Guild Hall in East Hampton presents its 22nd annual Student Art Festival. Thousands of kids in kindergarten through high school from 11 public and private schools contribute work to the show, which is held in two parts. The elementary school show opens this weekend. A reception Saturday, from noon to 4 PM, will also feature live performances by students on the stage in the John Drew Theater. “I just delivered the work last Thursday,” Mary Antczak, Unified Arts Coordinator for the East Hampton School district enthused, promising collage and mixed media pieces with “so much texture and color.” Students from Montauk, Amagansett, Wainscott, Bridgehampton, Shelter Island, Sagaponack, and Springs will also have work on display. Home-schooled children will participate as well. According to assistant curator Michelle Klein, who is overseeing the festival for Guild Hall, attendees can

expect to see a vast array of pieces, including mini farmland paintings from Wainscott, nature prints and totem poles from Montauk, and interpretations of Monet Water Lilies from Amagansett. Different styles of sculpture, portraits, and 3-D works have also been contributed. In East Hampton, it’s been a tradition for each child to create a piece that’s part of a larger presentation. Their work can both stand-alone and contribute to a single display. “It’s very sophisticated and very individualized for the students,“ said Antczak. Klein called the annual festival, “one of our most exciting exhibitions of the year, as it allows us the opportunity to showcase our local students and teachers. Now in its 22nd year, this exhibition also allows for our young artists of the future to be exhibited in an accredited Museum, on the same walls that we have exhibited Thomas Moran, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock and others.” For Klein’s money, the opening reception and watching families and budding artists react to seeing the show is “truly fantastic.” Claudia Pilato, vice president in charge of marketing for

Bridgehampton National Bank, agrees. BNB has been a major underwriter of the show for years. “The Guild Hall Student Arts Festival is the best of what community sponsorship by Bridgehampton National Bank is all about,” she said. “It’s colorful, vibrant and showcases and supports the creative energies of our kids. We’re proud to have been a part of it for so many years. This is one show that’s very special, because the entire community stops by.” “For 20 years, the Student Art Festival has helped nurture and encourage young talent on the East End,“ Ruth Appelhof, Guild Hall’s executive director, added. “We salute their teachers who inspire, nurture and continue to cultivate the creative process.” The festival shows how important

the arts are on the East End, East Hampton High School Principal Adam Fine observed. “It’s part of our culture, and part of our school culture.” “When we come to this time of the year,” he continued, “it is just a testament to the school’s commitment to the arts and the talent of the students. It’s absolutely amazing what goes on.” In recent years the walls in the high school have become “almost an interactive gallery of student artwork,” Fine informed. He believes any comprehensive high school education has to have a strong program in the arts. At EHHS, “We’re blessed to have that,” the principal said. Continued ON page 25.

Call The President

By Kitty Merrill

Today’s the day Joi Jackson Perle hopes people will make a call to the White House, urging President Barack Obama to give the Medal of Honor to Jordan Haerter and Jonathan Yale. Earlier this month, Perle launched a petition drive on the website change.org, asking the president to “recognize the brave actions of Jordan Haerter and Jonathan Yale as they gave their lives while saving dozens of others in Iraq.” As most locals know, Haerter, a Sag Harbor native, was standing guard at a Joint Security Station in the Sophia district of Ramadi on the morning of April 22, 2008, when a suicide bomber attacked. The driver of a large truck approaching the security station ignored commands to stop. When the truck failed to stop, Haerter and Yale opened fire until the vehicle exploded, claiming their lives. The two young men died saving marines, police, and civilians inside the compound. “Recognizing the danger to their fellow marines and partnered

Iraqi police, Cpl Yale and Lance Cpl Haerter fearlessly gave their lives in their defense,” an official afteraction report states. Earlier this year, another effort looking to petition the president on behalf of the heroic pair, was circulated through the White House by a Virginia resident, but the number of signatures required (100,000) and the deadline (one month) was too daunting. It was due to expire soon after Perle and Jordan’s mother, JoAnn Lyles, learned of it. “The We the People petition deadline came and went, and I thought that was that,” said Lyles. “I was glad that it spread Jordan’s and Jonathan’s story of heroism across the nation and was happy with that result, even though the petition failed.” She continued, “Joi had something else in mind . . . she said ‘she’s only just begun!‘ She started a new petition with maybe a less foreboding platform at change.org.” A Wainscott resident, Perle never knew Jordan. She met Lyles two years ago when she was preparing to participate in the Marine Corps

marathon in Washington, DC, and was asked to run under the Team Jordan banner. Since then she’s become friends with the Gold Star mom. Asked why she decided to spearhead the petition effort, Perle said, “I only have one child, and he’s a son . . . I can’t imagine losing my son, he’s everything to me.” Haerter received a prodigious array of medals and acknowledgements both during his life and after his death. The bridge in Sag Harbor was named for him, and he was the recipient of the Navy Cross Medal, the second highest medal that can be awarded for valor. Additional accolades include the Purple Heart, Combat Action ribbon, Iraqi Campaign Medal, and a Good Conduct Medal.

The Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest military honor. Since its creation in 1861 only some 3400 of them have been awarded. It is usually presented by the president at an official ceremony. “The kid deserves the recognition of the Medal of Honor,” Perle said Monday. “It won’t bring him back, but it could provide some closure.” Within three days of its launch last week, the petition garnered over 1000 signatures.

I’M LOSING IT

It’s a new year and I’ve decided to start it off by getting a few things off my chest. I don’t want my unreasonable anger to linger. It will cause a year of heartburn. I also don’t want the people who are the subjects of my ire to suffer. I just want them to be humanely executed. At the top of my list is the guy, who invented those little dark brown salt and pepper grinders that you now find in every single restaurant. They don’t work. 99.7 percent of the time they are empty. That’s because the restaurant staff never remembers, or knows, how to fill them. So now I’m in a restaurant and my food arrives at the table. There is no salt at the table. Why? Don’t ask! It could be a chef who is a tyrant

and insists his food is so delicious it doesn’t have to be salted. It’s some sort of a trend and even the worst greasy spoon restaurants in a crappy food town like Utica, New York, think it’s the sign of a great restaurant not to have a lousy salt shaker on the table. Anyway, when my food arrives the first thing I ask the person who sets it down in front of me is ‘May I have some salt?’ Now, I know I’m sort of a weird looking guy and usually they look at me as if I’m with Immigration, so they nod with fear in their eyes and never come back to my table again. As my food is getting cold I have to find another server. That takes some time. They finally come back with one of those cockamamie little brown, fake wood salt grinders. Of course it’s empty. Now my food is getting colder while the entire restaurant staff goes on a hunt for a grinder that has a single

grain of salt. Then by the grace of God somebody brings the only salt shaker in the restaurant. It’s a good old-fashioned salt shaker. But that doesn’t work either because at the beginning of the night the staff fills the lone salt shaker in the restaurant up to the tipity top. It now ceases to be a salt shaker because the salt is jammed against the top and you can’t shake it. When you do as I do, and unscrew the top, the salt explodes all over the table and my food. That’s when I start chanting: “Death to the inventor of the useless salt grinder.” “Death to the inventor of the useless salt grinder.” “Death to the inventor of the useless salt grinder.” You would be surprised how fast the service improves after that. Now let’s talk zippers. Let’s talk about the problem that I’m having with zippers on my winter jackets. Remember when zippers were simple? One slider which you formed when both halves of the zipper were meshed together so you had one pull tab slider, which you pulled up and presto you were warm and happy. Then some fashion maniac decided that it would look better if two pull-tabs were on top of each other. This involved an operation where everything must be lined up perfectly. You must hold down two pulltabs in your left hand and try to get the little metal/plastic part on the end in your right hand to mesh perfectly. For me it’s like trying to thread a needle while blindfolded and riding downhill on a bike you can’t steer because your hands are full.

It never works. It’s not just me. The other day at Michael’s restaurant in New York City the entire staff was trying to help some poor soul whose zipper obviously had gone up on a bad angle and he was trapped in a heavy coat. For a while it looked as though they were going to have to call on “The Jaws Of Life” to extract him. Death is too good for the inventor of the double pull-tab zipper. I say we strip him naked in a Minnesota winter and watch him try to get a double pull-tab zipper coat on before he freezes. While I’m ranting I want to talk about old age. It sucks. Just the other day Mick Jagger turned 70. Can you imagine a 70-year-old Rolling Stone? Someone should point out to Mick the physical changes that happen to a man at 70. For one thing when he wakes up in the morning and starts to make these horrible sounds in his throat. He will find out that every 70-year-old man is made up of 97.9 percent phlegm. And finally let’s talk about death by cell phone. Is there no way to stop these idiots who cross the street against the light, not looking at traffic, with a cell phone stuck to their ear? The phone was always seen as an instrument of death in my family. When I was a kid in Brooklyn, we didn’t have a telephone in our house and had to depend on a phone call going to Barney’s Candy Store on our corner. When one of the kids who hung out in front of the candy store was dispatched to our house to tell us we had a call, my mother and father would say in unison "Somebody’s dead." My Grandmother would fall to her knees and start to scream and cry for all of our relatives calling their names out in sort of a roll call of her favorites. She would prayerfully add the word "Not" in Italian before each name. "Not Pasquale. Not Guiseppi. Not Nina. Not Ida. Not Cheech . . ." By the time my father came home with news about the call we were all exhausted with worry. It was never a death. Most of the time it was just a relative who wanted to talk. Once my father came home to proudly tell us that he had "hit the numbers" and had won $600, which was about four months salary for him. My Grandmother continued to cry even as we celebrated. She just didn’t want to waste a good, wholesome bout of hysteria. Now you know where I get it from. If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Aquaponic Farming Coming To Sag By Emily Toy

A local eatery will make history by constructing a first ever twokitchen concept right here on the East End. Page at 63 Main, a restaurant located in Sag Harbor Village that prides itself on serving farm to table cuisine, is in the process of constructing an aquaponic farming system to provide the business with its own produce. According to the restaurant’s Media Relations Representative Debra Huneken, architects are still working on the physical construction of the system, which was announced in October, but

more should be finalized in the next couple weeks and ground is set to be broken very soon. According to a phone conversation with Huneken on Monday, Page will be closing on January 20, with her alluding to some crucial internal elements specific to the aquaponic project being installed during that time. Huneken said after the reopening, the restaurant owners, architects and project consultants alike will have a better idea of what they need to do for the aquaponics system, enthusing, “I think the place is going to blow up this summer.” The aquaponics food system combines conventional aquaculture

(raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks), with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. Nitrates and nitrites created by fish by-products serve as nutrients for the growing plants. A garden of lettuces, herbs, tomatoes and more is slated to reside several stories above the newly furbished restaurant, which made its debut last year. “Page will be unlike any other dining establishment in the region,” said co-owner Joseph Traina. “In a decade where people are ‘going green’ and ‘eating organic,’ Page is setting a new standard with ideas like a separate kitchen where

only foods free from pesticides, antibiotics and steroids may be prepared, and a sustainable food system,” he added, noting the locale’s commitment to offering “food with purpose.” The proposal includes plans to construct a second floor over the existing first story portion of the building to serve as a green house. The third story of the building will serve as a rooftop garden. The footprint of the building will not change, remaining at 3860 square feet. Eight hundred thirty five square feet of space will be designated for a seeding area with the green house being 481 square feet. The number of seats in the restaurant will not change, nor the exiting apartment located above. Therefore, the project does not need additional parking or wastewater treatment. According to Dennis Downes, representing co-owner Gerard Wawryk at a Sag Harbor Planning Board work session November 26, the Southampton Town Sustainability Committee is in favor of the project going forward. However, because the project will increase the building size to over 4000 square feet, it will have to be reviewed under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). Thusly, the village planning board will have to determine whether or not the project carries the potential to cause a significant adverse environmental impact. Downes noted hopes for other restaurants to be able to look at sustainable food systems like aquaponics to cultivate produce. “One of the things that excites me the most about the Sag Harbor project is the educational potential of the design,” Wawryk said in a press release. “Once complete the onsite ‘Micro Rooftop Farm,’ will offer tours and opportunities for students and families to experience this model and learn about growing food in a truly sustainable way.” In addressing the planning board, Koru Collaborative consultant Terry Chapel stated the proposal is designed in a very sustainable way because there is no need to import salt-based chemicals from Morocco, which is normally the case, adding it’s “very easy, low labor, simple and clean.” “Not only do the gardens produce vegetables and herbs that simply taste good, but we are hoping to give something back to this community in providing families with the experience of seeing how the food on their plates was grown,” Traina said.

Sending A New Message, But With What Messenger? By Kitty Merrill

They have the power to enforce the East Hampton Town Code, but officials in an array of departments appear to operate with tunnel vision. Rather than write a summons for violations they see when called to a site for other matters, they might make a referral to the ordinance enforcement department or, worse, ignore the situation. Supervisor Larry Cantwell wants to change that. Last Friday he told The Independent about a plan to ensure coordination among the police, building, fire marshal, and ordinance enforcement departments. “We’re trying to send a new message,” he said. “We need to enforce our code.” Cantwell wants to see staff in each of the departments “focusing their attention on the town code as a group.” During the campaign last fall, it was clear to Cantwell that voters wanted more aggressive enforcement of ordinances related to overcrowded single family houses and bars and restaurants. “We need more of our overall enforcement resources focused on that,” he said.

There’s been a repeated call for more staff in the Ordinance Enforcement Department, but with budget constraints an obstacle, Cantwell said, “Let’s pool our resources and talent and pull them in through a coordinated effort.” There could be “a lot of eyes and ears,” focused on quality of life issues, he believes. Assistant Town Attorney Pat Gunn was appointed Public Safety Administrator by former supervisor Bill Wilkinson in 2010. His duties included offering legal and investigative expertise to code enforcers. He’s leaving to enter private practice this week and town hall denizens have been abuzz -- not too happily – about his potential successor. During the January 2 organizational meeting Senior Harbormaster Ed Michels was given an additional title, “Director of Public Safety.” Cantwell said Friday that he envisioned Michels working with newly appointed assistant town attorney Michael Sendlenski. Sendlenski would provide legal and technical oversight while Michels would be in charge of coordinating the different

agencies and pulling together police, ordinance enforcement, the building department, and fire marshal’s office. Asked why he’d chosen Michels, Cantwell pointed to his Peace Officer status, as well as “excellent organizational skills” and experience as a leader. The supervisor appeared unaware that Michels was subjected to a de facto demotion in 2010, predominantly due to a lack of leadership skills. In fact, his department, the marine patrol, was the focus of a 2009 investigation by The Independent that prompted the placement of the marine patrol, once an autonomous unit, under the supervision of town police. Throughout the investigation, Indy surveilled marine patrol staff over the course of several winter weeks. Charged with patrolling local beaches, almost none of the officers we followed actually went to a beach. Instead they drove around, with trips from their Springs home base to the Sag Harbor 7-Eleven for coffee a preferred pastime. In another case, Indy clocked a marine patrol unit, which Michels insisted his staff take home so they could be

ready to deploy in the event of an emergency, sitting in a residential driveway, covered in snow, for days on end. Three months in to his first term, Wilkinson put an end to that. Placing Michels under the supervision of town police, he required officers to turn their vehicles in at the end of every day, tracked tickets they wrote, and banned the concept of “freelance” driving around in favor of assigning specific sectors to officers on duty. The demotion and negative attention are just a portion of the bounty of baggage Michels brings to the table. An officer under his supervision in 2002 failed to take mitigating action when he responded to a complaint about a dangerous dog on the beach in Amagansett. Days later, the dog attacked a toddler and her grandmother, mauling them both. Michels was taken to task by members of a local fishing family, after he declined to set out on a search for a missing bayman one night in 2005. The man was reported missing just after midnight and Continued on Page 22.

Benefit Aims To Help Hard Luck Couple By Rick Murphy

Bryan and Carol Clay ran an open door policy at their home; there was always room to house a traveling musician, and there was always room for a stray cat. Carol Clay runs the non-forprofit Long Island Spay and Neuter Fund, which more often than not translated into “take in the cats no one wants and make a home for them.” Br yan, born and raised in Hampton Bays, is a musician who is well known locally. The couple bought a house in Mastic Beach when they finally realized living in Hampton Bays was too expensive. “We found out there is a really bad cat problem there,” Bryan related. “Word spread that we took them in and they kind of would just appear at our font door.” Things were going smoothly until a nightmarish run of bad luck – almost incomprehensible— robbed them, literally, of everything they had. It hit bottom one night in early December. The couple went out to celebrate Bryan’s birthday. Carol left the party early only to find their house engulfed in flames. By the time firefighters arrived it was too late – a faulty electric wire under the house quickly became a raging fire. “A firefighter told me it had been a long time since he’s seen a fire that hot,” said Bryan. It was also too late for 13 of the 14 cats trapped inside, and Bryan’s collection of lefthanded guitars, some signed by musicians like Alice Cooper and Bret Michaels (Poison) and other instruments, including a grand piano. ”There is no way to replace them,” Bryan lamented. To make matters worse Bryan, an out of work plumber, cancelled his fire insurance before the blaze. He also lost his medical coverage; he suffered a face fracture working as a maintenance manager at a camp for handicapped children shortly afterwards. The fracture compounded his epilepsy condition, resulting in frequent seizures. There is also the matter of the recent deaths of four family members, including his wife’s brother. The couple is staying at a friend’s bed and breakfast until the end of the month. They have tried to get help from the United Way and Red Cross, so far to no avail. They were referred to County Social Services but are currently caught up in red tape. Saturday night a benefit at Cowfish from 6 to 11 PM organized

by Bryan’s brother Tim Bennett will hopefully raise enough money to keep the couple going for a while. “Bryan is a musician, and he knows everybody, so you never know who might show up to play,” Bennett said. There will also be a DJ, karaoke, and an auction of autographed guitars. Admission is $30 -- Call 516-902-9987 for more information or to make a donation. Visit sickmanfan.com for more information. Cowfish is located at 258 East Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays. The number there is 631-594-3868. There will be a benefit for Bryan and Carol Clay Saturday at Cowfish in Hampton Bays.

box. So I’d watch as I gave an intern a simple box to write that should take 10 minutes. “How are you doing with that box” I’d ask an hour later. “I’m working on it,” she would reply. Of course, I knew she was on IM the whole time because I was watching her. Nevertheless, when it was time to write a recommendation so she could get college credit for the internship, I would always do so. The way I figured it, the kid learned to lie with a straight face so she was on her way to a successful professional career. Then texting became the big thing. I had trouble at first typing with my thumbs, but hey, we adapt. Mostly, texting is for communicating when you are in a place where you can’t talk. My favorite texts came from Kitty Merrill when she was covering a town board meeting detailing how excruciatingly bored she was. These texts were, by any standard, so disgusting and obscene that I kept them should I ever need to get rid of her. It’s almost like having nude pictures of Merrill, except I don’t have to buy her a beer. When we received a similarly filthy text from our new Southampton Town Board correspondent Emily Toy, we felt so proud. But I refuse to use Facebook. Even my 93-year-old mother says it’s boring.

world wants to know everything you are doing, is flawed, at least to me – I don’t want anyone to know what I’m doing and I don’t give a crap what you are doing. People compete to see how many “Friends” they can get. “Friend Me!” they beg. Friends of friends can become friends, even if they don’t know each other. Those friends, in turn, can become friends of the friends of friends. Soon, every living creature will be a friend to every other living creature, which is kind of like incest. There is a “Like” button. If you write something profound, readers are invited to “Like” it. This was designed, I assume, to reward intelligent interplay and meaningful dialogue. The other day – I’m not making this up – Karen read a post she had received on Facebook: “It’s Sunday morning,” the post read in its entirety. Five people liked it. What is wrong with this picture? Here are some actual Facebook posts made my real people. “I am typing this.” “I just took another breath.” “I’m blinking a lot today.” Then, of course, there is Twitter. I’m a little behind the curve when it comes to using Twitter because I don’t know what a hashtag is. It is, apparently, a sign made by a symbol as in “I used to smoke a lot of # @ college.” Professional athletes use Twitter to get fined, suspended, or fired. What usually happens is a player will have a lousy game, and then a fan who bet on the wrong team will complain, and then the athlete would unleash a tirade of vile and obscene comments that would make the devil blush. It’s not just athletes who embarrass themselves on Twitter. The following are real Tweets: “No, no, I didn’t go to England; I went to London.” (@Parishilton) “The trolls are foaming from their toothless holes. Rumor mill abundant with evil gossip. Mainstream heretics smirking.”(@ Charliesheen) “I am laying in bed with my mommy right now scratching her bug bites.”  (@MileyCyrus) I remember growing up in Sag Harbor when phones were a relatively new phenomena. In fact, you would pick up the phone and a real woman would say, “Number, please.” The operators worked in a little building on Union Street across from the St. Andrews playground. If we dared make a prank call they would tell our mothers at church on Sunday morning. The point is, we used to strive for anonymity. Nowadays, everyone is screaming “Look at me! Look what I’m doing!” I don’t like it one bit.

EDITORIAL

We applaud the new policy instituted by new East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell that will severely curtail walk-on resolutions. During the last administration walk-ons became the norm instead of the exception, and were often called for a vote even before some town board members had a chance to read them. But one recent development confirms there is no such thing as too much public input. Buried in the town’s organizational packet was an interesting item: Ed Michels, the senior harbormaster, is being given the title of Director of Public Safety. There was no discussion or notice and granted, on the surface this seems to be a mundane matter, but the repercussions could be significant. Michels has been involved in several controversies during his career and is considered by town hall insiders as a sometimes inept bureaucrat who has managed to finagle a check for decades despite a less than sterling resume. When he had sole charge of the marine patrol, that unit was a joke. During a monthslong investigation by The Independent we uncovered many of the fulltime marine patrol officers in his unit spent their days doing virtually nothing. We followed some of the culprits for hours as they drove to Sag Harbor for coffee – never even driving past a beach or waterway. A four-wheel drive town-owned vehicles was parked, covered with snow, unused for weeks at a time. The men didn’t even pretend to be working in many cases. Michels came and went from his office sporadically. Michels was harshly criticized for not responding when Charley Niggles’ boat didn’t return to port one evening. While scores of local boaters went out in the dead of night to look for the local bayman, Michels kept the entire fleet of town-owned boats at the dock. It was one of the few times the harbormasters were needed for a legitimate emergency, yet, as Charley Niggles clung for dear life to the side of his boat, Michels

was home in bed. Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson finally put a stop to the slacking off by putting the unit -- and Michels – under the supervision of the Town Police. Michels’ unit was to focus on beach patrols — and complaints of fires, unauthorized parties, public drunkenness, litter, and noise have reached an all time high under his watch. The new town board apparently wasn’t aware of any of this. But a public discussion of the proposed appointment would have outed Michels in a hurry. Michels likely lobbied for a new position wherein he would call the shots — and set his own schedule. He is, apparently, going to keep his old job as well – his current salary is close to $91,000. If he has time to take on added responsibilities, what exactly are taxpayers getting now for such a princely sum? Meanwhile Pat Gunn, who did a great job overseeing code enforcement, given a skeleton staff, is leaving. The big losers here are the people of Springs, who voted resoundingly for the incoming Democrats. They clamored for better code enforcement, and Gunn delivered, bringing order to chaos, following up on tips and complaints and making sure his staff investigated each one. That seems highly unlikely to occur under Michels, considering he has a long history of not adequately managing underlings in just one department. This town needs aggressive code enforcement - the people have repeatedly demanded as much. Cantwell’s idea of better coordination among all departments with the power to issue code violations is a great one. It’s who’s been picked to helm that broader effort that’s troubling. We suggest the town board come up with a Plan B in a hurry, before the ship Gunn began to right starts to sink.

VOICES

By Karen Fredericks

Why don’t you make New Year’s resolutions? Frank Fiordaliso I never really did make them. One reason we make them is because everybody else makes them. So there’s this group pressure making you feel you need to do it too. But the way I like to look at it is that every day is a new day for me, a new start, a fresh start.

Insane Overspending Dear Rick, Your editorial cataloging the ethics problems swirling around Congressman Tim Bishop was most welcome, but didn’t go nearly far enough. A detailed listing of Mr. Bishop’s failure to properly represent his district would make for quite a long letter, so I’ll just mention the outstanding ones. He has in word and deed or by silence and inaction aligned himself with every major misdeed of the Obama presidency, from the IRS scandal to Fast And Furious, Benghazi, insane overspending, unconstitutional abuse of Executive Orders and of course the fiasco known as Obamacare (yes, he voted for it without reading it). Bottom line is, we need a new Congressman, not an Obama lapdog. We need Lee Zeldin. REG CORNELIA

Jill Shamoon I used to make New Year’s resolutions but I found I never kept them. So now I think I have a better approach. I just think about how to improve my life. I just try to improve one thing that’s important to me every year. I don’t have to feel I set myself up to fail. Colin Lillie All those resolutions are too much pressure. I set goals that I can reach. I like making goals that are attainable. I do little things, one by one. I clean out the garage. Or I make up my mind to read more and then I really do it. Those are the kind of goals I set. James Smith When I was younger I would make all kinds of resolutions. But then I never kept them, so I felt bad about that. Then I decided that my New Year’s resolution was to not make New Year’s resolutions. And you know what? It’s the only one I’ve ever kept.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” That might not be Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s most famous quote, but it’s among his most powerful. For our nation’s most celebrated civil rights leader, fighting for equality went hand in hand with helping others in need. That’s what set Dr. King apart, what made him such an extraordinary figure in such extraordinary times. On Monday, January 20, when we observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we should consider following his lead and spending some time “doing for others.” Dr. King’s legendary heroism must be recalled each year around this time. A humanitarian, he dedicated his life to battling social injustice and was one of the most influential forces behind the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. He once said, “We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late.” In the State Assembly, I have tried to live up to his philosophy that we should act now when it comes to improving the lives of the citizens of our State. A growing problem in New York and across the country is the ever-expanding gap between the wealthy and the middle class and poor. Combating income inequality and spurring upward mobility are defining issues of our time, and they were also central to Dr. King’s agenda. I successfully fought to increase the State’s minimum wage in the 2013-14 State Budget – a much-needed boost to the working poor - but there is a lot more work to do. That is why I support accelerating the next increase to $9 per hour a full year ahead of schedule. Increasing wages for hardworking families and creating more good-paying jobs must be the goal of every elected official, and it’s what I will be focused on in Albany in 2014. Dr. King placed a great emphasis on education, and so do I - providing our children with a sound education has always been one of my top

priorities. Dr. King once said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically . . . intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” Unfortunately, providing a top-notch education has become more and more challenging, especially for our high-need schools. Forcing teachers to do more with less, yet expecting better outcomes,

is unrealistic at best. That’s why every year I call on our leaders to increase funding for our schools and work to ensure the needs of our educators and students are being met, in the spirit of Dr. King’s vision. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is more than a day off from work or school - it’s a day to reflect on the

Vera Ladick Napoli, 70

Vera Ladick Napoli (born Vera Charlotte Ladick) of East Hampton died on January 1. She was born May 5, 1943 in Flushing, Queens, to Walter F. Ladick Sr. and Anna Ladick (nee Elias). Vera’s family left Flushing when she was still a young child and moved to Miami, where she attended school. During the summer they would return to Long Island, where the family had purchased a former dairy farm and orchard in Holbrook. Vera married John F. X. Napoli of East Hampton on March 21, 1967. They lived briefly in Amagansett until the couple built a house in East Hampton, where she has lived for 38 years. She continued to spend time in Florida, where she maintained a home in Punta Gorda. She filed for divorce almost two years ago, and the divorce was being finalized when she died. Ve r a b e g a n w o r k i n g a t

Bridgehampton National Bank in 1967 and, except for a year she took off when she had her daughter, continued to work in the Bridgehampton branch until retiring in December 2001. She held various positions at the bank, including in the finance and accounting department, as a customer service rep, and as the receptionist. She was a member of Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton. She enjoyed arts and crafts, photography, traveling and baking. She is survived by her daughter, Michelle A. Napoli of Las Vegas, NV, and East Hampton, a brother, Walter F. Ladick Jr. and a sister-in-law, Rose Marie Ladick of Patchogue.

No Licenses East Hampton Village Police reported four more arrests for what has become an epidemic – people driving without valid licenses. On January 6 Ana Mayancela, 26, of Springs, was arrested shortly before midnight on Gingerbread Lane after being involved in a traffic accident. Police said not only did she not have a license, but was arrested

back in September for the same thing and just kept on driving. This time her vehicle was impounded. The following evening Rafael Loaiza-Arichabala, 42, of Hampton Bays, was intercepted on Montauk Highway. Police said he was driving with no lights. A computer check revealed he didn’t have a license, either, police said. In fact, he did not have any identification. He was arrested and the vehicle impounded. That same night Maria E. Quilambaqui-Uyaguari, of Ecuador, met a similar fate after police said they observed her going 54 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone. Police said she admitted that she didn’t have a license.

On January 8 Christian Hernandez, of Riverhead, 25, was stopped for speeding on Montauk Highway. Police said he didn’t have a license either – it had been suspended after pleading guilty to driving while ability impaired in 2010 and revoked for failing to

submit to a chemical test. Things got worse for the accused when a computer check allegedly revealed an outstanding bench warrant. To top things off, police found a container of marijuana, they said. He was turned over to the Quogue Police to answer the warrant.

Little Scottie is a lhasa apso/shih tzu mix, black and white, 7-8 years young and only 18 pounds. He was adopted in 2008 to a kind woman and has been a devoted companion pet. Unfortunately, the woman was recently admitted to a nursing home. It broke both their hearts and now, Scottie must find a new guardian. He is available for adoption and is guaranteed to capture your heart. For more info, call 631-728-3524 or visit www.rsvpinc.org.

Continued from page 10. marine patrol officers told the family they’d wait till first light and let the Coast Guard handle in the interim. The bayman was eventually located at 4 AM and returned safely to shore. During the 90s, the feud between Michels and one time Democratic Committee chair Bill Taylor was the stuff of water cooler talk at town hall. The pair had dueling titles and Taylor was eventually transferred to the planning department. Over the years, Michels has been a frequent recipient of criticism from locals, for the size of his part time and full time staff, which once topped two dozen, and for the array of vessels, tagged Pat’s Navy after

his rabbi, former Councilwoman Pat Mansir, that were tied up at headquarters and said some, “never left the dock.” The new title approved earlier this month doesn’t include an increase to Michels’ nearly $91,000 salary. However, given past practice, it’s likely he’d eventually ask for more money, more men, and more equipment. Apprised of the history surrounding Michels, on Friday Cantwell was quick to say the reorganization is a “work in progress.” He suggested Michels may not be the one to take the helm after all. ATA Sendlenski will “play a principal role,” he added on Monday. “Ed’s role is undecided.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

S P OR T S Bees Beginning To Come Together INDEPENDENT

By Rick Murphy

The Bridgehampton’s boys’ basketball team got off to a hellish start, but the Bees are beginning to pull it together. And that means a berth in the State Class D playoffs may be on the horizon. Friday the Bees cleared a major hurdle, knocking off Greenport 54-50 on the loser’s court. The win put the Bees back in the mix as the county’s Class D teams have taken turns beating each other so far this season. The Bees’ dynamo center Josh Lamison was a major player in Friday’s victory. The youngster is only six-foot tall but he is a rebounding machine, averaging more than 20 per game. He kept the Porters off the boards during crunch time and made some crucial free throws with the game on the line late in the fourth quarter. Elijah Jackson added 13 points for the winners and Tylik

Guild Hall

Furman notched 11. Gavin Dibble scored 17 for Greenport and Austin Hooks had 11. The Bees improved to 2-4 in League VIII and 3-5 overall. Greenport fell to 3-3 in the league and 3-4 for the season. The other Class D teams are: Smithtown Christian (4-3, 4-5), Ross (3-3,4-4), Shelter Island (3-4,4-4) and Knox (0-7). Pierson, a Class C school, sits atop League VIII with a 6-1 mark. Friday the Whalers manhandled Knox 75-21. Forrest Loesch, having an all-county caliber season thus far, went off for 24 before hitting the bench. Rob Evjen added 12 and Garret Potter 10. Stony Brook, a half-game behind Pierson, kept pace by besting Southold 68-49 Thursday. Liam Walker led the locals with 17 and Shayne Johnson added 15 for the Settlers. In League VII action Southampton (4-2) pulled within a game of first

place by knocking off Wyandanch 68-60 on the road Friday. Standout point guard Shaundell Fishburne scored 19, dished out six assists and had a half-dozen rebounds for the winners. Israel Johnson (14), Isaiah Johnson (10) and Nitauke Williams (10) all hit double digits for the Mariners. Lyle Smith corralled 10 rebounds. Babylon and Center Moriches sit atop the league standings with 5-1 marks. Babylon traveled to Mattituck Friday and came away with a 60-55 win. Parker Tuthill led the Tuckers with 17 points and

Chris Dwyer had 13. East Hampton improved to 2-3 in League VI by knocking off Miller Place at home, 42-19. Brandon Hughes had 13 points and Tom Nelson snared 18 rebounds for the Bonackers. Riverhead won its first League III game after five losses, taking down Centereach 64-30 at home Thursday. Tyrese Kese scored 11 points and grabbed 12 boards for The Blue Wave. Getting back to the Bees, the coming week is a critical one for the locals. The team played Knox yesterday and gets Ross at home tomorrow before traveling to Pierson Saturday.

Continued from page 4. The second part of the festival, which features works by area high school students, opens in March and runs through mid-April. Part I runs through February 23. The Festival also includes a film component. In its eleventh year, The Student Film Competition features three age groups for contestants: Elementary Grades two to four, Middle School Grades five to eight and High School Grades nine to 12. Leaders in the local film and television community serve as judges

of the kids’ contributions and the three winners will be shown at an awards ceremony on April 6. For local families, the annual festival offers a break from winter isolation, giving folks a warm reason to venture out on cold afternoons, catch up with their neighbors, and admire youthful and innocent artistic aptitude. And how do the kids feel about participating in the show? “I know it’s very important to them,“ said Antczak, describing the reaction of the elementary aged children as “really gleeful.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com.

A-Rod’s Last Stand

Alex Rodriguez had a bad weekend. He found out early Saturday that Arbitrator Fred Horowitz had only reduced Rodriguez’s Major League Baseball suspension down from 211 games to 162. Then, Sunday night on “60 Minutes,” the first episode of a multi-part series aired, digging into details of A-Rod’s drug use. The piece included interviews with his former dealer Tony Bosch, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, MLB Executive Rob Manfred, and Rodriguez attorney Joe Tacopina. Neither party came out looking entirely clean. But as the dust settled late Sunday night, Alex Rodriguez got what he deserved. Rodriguez has a proven track

record of lying and deceiving baseball fans. Most notably, back in 2007 A-Rod lied to Katie Couric insisting he had never taken performance enhancing drugs. Two years later he came clean, admitting to three years of drug use with the Texas Rangers from 2001-2003. Now, A-Rod wants us to believe him; believe that because he never failed a test, he never took anything illegal, believe that MLB is out to get him, and Tony Bosch is corrupt. The problem is, Rodriguez has not proven to be any more credible than anyone he is accusing. There was never any benefit to Major League Baseball having Rodriguez tied into the Biogenesis

case. They had already taken down a current star in Brewer’s outfielder Ryan Braun. Also, as part of the scandal, MLB had a dozen other players suspended. Singling out, falsely accusing A-Rod, and putting up with what has been a six-month PR nightmare, was more of a headache than it was worth had Rodriguez truly been innocent. As for Alex Rodriguez’s defense, had he really been serious about proving his innocence, he would have taken the stand during his hearing. As noted in the “60 minutes” piece by Rob Manfred, A-Rod was the only player in the history of the drug agreement to not take the stand in his own defense. Rodriguez reasoned that because Commissioner Bud Selig was not going to testify, neither would he. Frankly, it was terrible logic. I believe A-Rod never planned to testify. Instead, he planned to use Selig’s lack of testimony as his excuse to not take the stand. Lame and phony, yet so A-Rod. Rodriguez’s camp insists it will try and take this case to federal

court. Good luck. All indications are federal judges have little interest in hearing cases already settled in collective bargaining arbitration. As it stands, Horowitz’s opinion in the ruling was not released, and if A-Rod sues, the opinion would be made public. Those detailed opinions might only make A-Rod look worse (if that is even possible). The best thing for the Yankees would be to cut ties with A-Rod, and pay off the final three years and $61 million of his contract. Sure, it’s a lot of money to swallow. But, you can’t put a price on the peace of mind getting rid of Rodriguez would give the Steinbrenners, Brian Cashman, Joe Girardi, and the players. Let Rodriguez continue to make a mockery of himself and insisting the process is a sham, just make sure he’s not doing it in a Yankee cap.
