Protestors Say ‘Kill The Plan, Not The Deer’

By Kitty Merrill

“A barbaric event of horror.”

That’s how Bill Crain, founder of the East End Group for Wildlife, described the proposed use of sharpshooters to kill some 3000 deer -- does and fawns being the main target -- on the East End. On Saturday, Crain’s group joined with the advocacy agencies Long Island Orchestrating for Nature, the Wildlife Preservation Coalition of Eastern Long Island, and Hunters for Deer in a rally against the cull.

A crowd topping 300 protestors carrying signs with slogans like “Save The Deer,” “Cull = Slaughter,” and “It Is Man’s Fault” hooved it from the Hook Mill to Herrick Park in East Hampton Village.

Last fall wildlife advocates

learned of a plan promoted by the Long Island Farm Bureau that, if adopted, would see U.S. Department of Agriculture sharpshooters using high powered rifles equipped with night vision scopes to kill deer at bait stations. A second method would involve capturing the animals in nets and shooting them at point blank range. The Farm Bureau received grants to cover a portion of the costs, but participating municipalities would also have to contribute.

The news last month that East Hampton Village voted to buck up its share ignited the opposition.

A petition rapidly gleaned over 10,000 signatures. Opponents to the cull launched legal actions against both the village and Town

CONDOMS AND LIFE SAVERS

This is the story of how the sale of condoms over the counter made Life Savers the most successful and profitable candy brand of the 1950s.

In 1957, when a 15 or 16-year-old boy would go into a pharmacy to purchase a box of condoms, it was the most tension-provoking, frightening purchase a young man could make.

On one side were his raging hormones.

On the other side was the church, The Legion of Decency (a powerful Catholic group), his family, society, censorship, and a quietly repressive political climate that sanctimonious politicians used to win votes.

It was a world of shame and guilt.

Naturally, in the 1950s, against all odds, the raging hormones always won and our hero went shopping for protection.

Un l i k e t h e g i a n t C V S a n d Walgreen’s and Duane Reade megastores of today, pharmacies those days were tiny stores and

there was a good chance that the proprietor knew your parents on a first-name basis.

So one would slink into a pharmacy when the owner was out or having dinner. Then you would go from aisle to aisle pretending that you were going to buy aspirin. Or Bengay or Vicks – any item in the store other than a box of condoms.

You checked the other customers.

Was it your mom’s best friend . . . a teacher from your high school . . . your local priest?

With your head down, staring at the floor, you would make it to the front of the store where the condoms were kept behind the counter.

You would look at the floor and mumble, “I would like a box of mumble . . . mumble . . . mumble.”

A voice from behind the counter would say “WHAT?” You then would look up into the beautiful eyes of the a girl from your school who sat four seats away from you in your social

studies class and this was her parttime after-school job.

She would greet you by name.

“What would you like?” she would say in a voice so loud you know your mother sitting in her living room a mile away could hear.

Panic . . . panic . . . pure unadulterated panic.

“I would like er . . . er . . . er . . . I would like er . . . er . . . er . . .A PACK OF LIFE SAVERS . . . That’s what I would like, a pack of Life Savers.”

There they were, brilliantly placed near the cash register. I bought hundreds . . . thousands of packs of Life Savers. I was responsible for a full share point of their national sales. Every boy I knew from that time has the same story. No young man in the United States ever went into a store to buy Life Savers but we all came out frustrated with a pack of Life Savers and a case of guilt.

Sexual thoughts and hang-ups in Brooklyn started for a boy with his first kiss. It was the fuse that ignited the hormone tinderbox.

I remember as if it were yesterday.

It was summer. I was 12-years-old. I was the most awkward child ever put on this earth. I was at the age of twelve close to 6 feet tall and weighed 96 pounds.

I took my date (her name was Rose) to the Kingsway Theater on Kings Highway in Brooklyn.

Nervous? There wasn’t a pore in my body that wasn’t flooded. My armpits needed leaders and gutters.

My body felt like it had a temperature of 106 degrees. My hands and feet felt 70 degrees colder.

I was also nauseous because in preparation for this first “date,” I had brushed my teeth about 20 times and was in danger of dying from an overdose of Colgate toothpaste.

silent type. Actually, I couldn’t talk because I had a mouth full of Life Savers. I had consumed two packs of Wintergreen Life Savers from the minute I had picked her up at home. So every time I let out a breath I smelled like a walking Airwick bottle.

The movie was called Pagan Love Song starring Esther Williams.

We sat in the balcony and I was too shy to put my arm around Rose so I put it around her seat instead.

The movie was almost two hours long and Esther Williams spent most of those two hours swimming.

I spent the two hours in pain.

My arm had cramped up in this awkward position and then it went to sleep. It was dead. Useless.

I think I cut off the circulation and to this day I can’t throw a baseball 10-feet and I blame it all on that seat in the Kingsway Theater.

At one point I realized that I couldn’t move my arm . . . I had no control over it and probably would never be able to move it again. I wondered if it would have to be amputated. This made me giggle hysterically to myself.

Unfortunately, I had this thought during a love scene between Esther Williams and Howard Keel.

Rose then said her first word of the afternoon to me: “Shuuuussssssh.”

Finally, during the scene where Esther Williams was swimming underwater (and I think singing at the same time), I decided to try to kiss Rose. My dead right arm, which I had counted on for foreplay and balance, was useless.

So I had to try to move my body and sort of lurch at the same time. It put me off-balance and, even though I was aiming for her lips, I missed and sort of kissed her on the bridge of her nose and on her right eye.

She sort of summed up what my sex life was going to be like forever when she said, “Stop that. We’re going to miss the good part of the movie.”

I may have been 12, but being thrown over for Esther Williams didn’t do much for my sense of selfesteem.

It was then I decided to retrieve my right arm, but in order to do that I had to reach over Rose’s head with my left hand and pick up my dead right arm and swing it over her head.

I didn’t do that as well as I should have. My hands were dripping wet with perspiration and I wound up dropping the arm and accidentally hitting her in the top of the head with my dead arm.

“What’s wrong with you?” she said, thereby becoming the first person to ask a question that I’ve been asked many times since.

Quogue Property Sale Still Under Review

By Emily Toy

For months now there’s been debate amongst residents and officials in the Village of Quogue over the sale of a 1.3-acre, village-owned, canal side property on Dune Road.

Last Friday’s village board meeting proved no different as the board picked up the tabled issue, which features allowing two Quogue families to purchase the property.

A resolution on the issue to approve the sale was drafted on December 20, where it outlined Robert and Micki Friedman and Ray and Natharon Goodman as tenants in common, and concerning the property located at 155 Dune Road. The resolution also stated the price for the property, $250,000, subject to restrictions that will limit development to a walkway and dock for two boats.

One of the family members slated to buy, Robert Friedman, who lives

★

across the street from the property under review, previously noted how he thinks it would be wise for the village to sell the property because it would have him paying taxes to the village, town, school district and so on. Friedman has wanted to build the walkway and dock for years.

If the sale goes through, the Friedmans and the Goodmans would have to wait for approval to build their desired structure from a slew of different agencies, including the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Southampton Town Trustees, to name a few.

Southampton Trustee President Eric Shultz said how he thought it unusual for a village-owned property to be sold to a private party.

Others expressed concern over how the land may be developed in the future. The question of whether or not the property will be further

State Report Lists Stressed Schools

By Kitty Merrill

Compared to districts upstate and in western and central New York, and despite property tax caps and diminished aid, East End schools are doing pretty well financially.

Last week, State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli released findings derived through his fiscal stress monitoring system. Only the East Quogue and Southold school districts merited mention among the 87 districts deemed to be suffering fiscal stress.

The Office of the State Comptroller evaluated 674 school districts with fiscal years ending last June. Some 13 percent were designated fiscally stressed.

In a release discussing the findings, DiNapoli said, “School districts are a critical barometer to the fiscal health of our local communities. Unfortunately, reductions in state aid, a cap on local revenue and decreased rainy day funds are creating financial challenges that more and more school districts are having trouble overcoming. My office’s fiscal stress scores highlight the need for school district officials to manage their finances carefully with an eye towards long-range planning and how they can operate more efficiently.”

Indicators eyed during the study

include year-end fund balance, cash position and patterns of operating deficits to calculate fiscal stress scores that range from “significant fiscal stress” to “susceptible to fiscal stress” to no designation at all. The data was gleaned through annual reports filed with the state education department.

The comptroller also analyzed such environmental factors as student enrollment, property value, budget vote results and poverty levels in order to provide insight into the health of any particular community.

East Quogue was listed as suffering “moderate fiscal

Especially Dependable

stress,” while Southold received a “susceptible to fiscal stress” designation.

DiNapoli explained that stressed school districts share environmental themes, such as declining property values, high poverty rates, and low school budget support. Those factors are often outside the control of district officials, he noted.

But there are other commonalities among the stressed districts. Most are operating with low fund balance, operating deficits and limited cash on hand. The districts were also found to have a much higher likelihood of using short-term borrowing to bridge cash flow gaps.

Using a similar system the OSC also monitors towns and counties statewide. None of the five East End towns were listed as suffering stress, based on information from 2012. However, Suffolk County as a whole was deemed to be under “significant fiscal stress.” Though a $300 million deficit was almost halved during 2013, a hole to the tune of $180 mil remains.

The deficit, sparse cash on hand and low fund balances led to the designation. kmerrill@indyeastend.com IndependentAd_July12_Vert.pdf 1

Almanac A Mild December They Weren’t Playing Scrabble Sources have identified the officer accused of entering a private residence without permission in the company of a 20-year old female.

The patrolman, identified in media accounts as Mario Julio Galeano, 31, was relieved of duty and placed on administrative leave. The woman, who sources said is Jennifer Rosa, 20, was said to be a housekeeper at the Talmage Lane house as well as a Village Traffic Control Officer, was summarily fired.

According to reports furnished by police, the owner of the residence had told friends they could stay at the house. When they arrived on the night of December 30, they found Rosa and Galeano inside, although the house was supposed to be empty. They called the owner, who subsequently called police.

According to published reports Arthur Dunnam owns the house in question. Additional charges are expected to be filed after a police investigation is concluded.

Well, the weather for December was such that there was no ice skating, no sledding, and sorry, no snowballs or snowman; this is the nature of weather.

It was a ver y mild month.

Temperatures in the 50s were common throughout the whole month. It was 50 degrees or higher on 13 days; highest was 69 degrees on the 2nd. Lowest for December was 14 degrees on the nights of the 11th and 23rd.

Measurable precipitation fell on 8 days, for a total of 3.78 inches.

Snow fell on two days for a total of

2.5 inches. Wind direction was 11 days from the Northwest and there were 18 cloudy days.

From now on there should be the snow for the children and some

ice skating. Our wind should be from the Northwest; 40 mph and higher is not unusual for January.

Maybe Mecox and some of the other smaller bays could freeze for a few days for ice boating.

Board Meeting: Fast And Friendly

By Kitty Merrill

Nobody argued.

Nobody yelled.

With the outing ending in under two hours, with the outing ending without a single raised voice, veteran East Hampton Town Board attendees, accustomed to the tension and arguments of the last administration, were left slightly disoriented.

Staying true to a campaign promise to bring civility to town hall, Supervisor Larry Cantwell made quick and amiable work of a short agenda last Thursday night.

A public hearing on the draft Community Preservation Fund Management and Stewardship plan drew just one comment from the public. Board watcher David Buda complained the plan, which is designed to detail how the town will spend a portion of CPF money on stewardship and management of its CPF properties, “seems to omit the guts” and lacks pertinent detail.

Scott Wilson, the town’s director of land acquisition and management explained that, traditionally, when compiling the list of upcoming projects, he works with direction from the town board. Since the board is newly seated, that direction has yet to be articulated.

Under CPF law, the town can spend up to 10 percent of its total CPF revenue on management and stewardship. This year’s proposal estimates a budget of $468,881, which accounts for less than 2.5 percent of the total revenue.

Moving to the public comment portion of the evening, Judy Samuelson, co-president of the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons, reminded the board of the group’s stance on creating the position of town manager. She encouraged the board to move to embrace a re-organization of town government that includes an apolitical, appointed manager. In response, the supervisor informed that the budget adopted for this year doesn’t include funding for a new administrator. Before the town could hire such a professional, there has to be a budget for it, he said.

That gives the board a year to start the process, Samuelson countered.

Next up, Margaret Turner, executive director of the East Hampton Business Alliance, addressed the issue of late tax bills.

Because the bills weren’t sent out on time, town officials had to extend the payment deadline. Last week, the board voted to appoint a new interim tax receiver and relieved the

former receiver of her duties.

Turner said her group wants a more detailed explanation of what went wrong, as well as information about preventative steps that will be taken to ensure the SNAFU doesn’t occur in the future. “We hope you’re looking into the whole procedure,” she said, predicting officials will learn the breakdown is “a little bit of everybody’s” fault.

Cantwell said he was reluctant to discuss the problem until all facts are known. He assured Turner he planned to get to the bottom of it.

J.J. Kremm, a member of the American Legion Post in Amagansett asked the town to look into gaming

laws that prohibit the legion from selling scratch off and pull tab lottery tickets. Other legions across the country have them, and the revenue they produce help to run the facilities. The ability to offer the amenity to customers may help the legion, which provides a good service to veterans, he said.

Finally, Cantwell addressed the need to increase fees for selfhaulers at the town recycling center. Individuals will see a $15 increase to the cost of a permit this spring. “We don’t raise these fees lightly,” the supervisor said.

However, measures must be taken to resolve a shortfall at the dumps.

It’s been suggested the town move to a “bag program” as is utilized in Southampton Town.

However, Cantwell pointed out that comparisons between East Hampton and Southampton miss the mark, since Southampton doesn’t accept any commercial waste.

Additionally, using his own home as an example the supervisor calculated he’d spend two to three times the cost of the permit on bags, should East Hampton change its program. He figured it could cost a family of two anywhere from $300 to $400 a year for the bags. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

RICK’S SPACE My New Best Friend Karen was wailing.

“Waaaah . . . Waaah . . . Waah!

I hadn’t heard that sort of intense weeping around the house since Verrazano lost the Breeder’s Cup Mile carrying a good portion of my mortgage payment in his saddlebag.

“What happened? What happened?”

“Fredo’s gone,” she said, dabbing a tissue to her nose.

I tried to explain to her that Fredo was the weak Corleone, and that he betrayed Michael, so it was only natural that he should go away . . . as in sleep with the fishes.

“Not that Fredo – Fredo the Labradoodle. I loved him.”

Then I got it. This kind of thing has been happening in our household since we visited the Animal Rescue Fund kennel on Industrial Road in Wainscott to visit the 50 or so dogs that were up for adoption. We didn’t adopt a dog, but many of them have found happy homes since thanks to the good folks at ARF. Karen, though, visits the website every day to see the new arrivals. This is presumably where she “met” Fredo and quickly fell in love with him.

Far be it for me to tell her she can’t fall in love with a picture, for I have been similarly smitten many times – I remember their names to this day: Miss June, 1967, Miss August, 1972. And who can forget the Scrumdelicious Miss February from the vintage year 1977? Ah, she was an exotic blend, though certainly no Labradoodle. (Imagine if we gave mixed breed people similar names – boy, I could really get myself in hot water here!)

Fredo is just the latest of Karen’s would-be playmates. There was Sandy, and Pluto, and Benjie, and the UPS guy – oh wait, he was real.

Her tears would flow each time one of them disappeared from the ARF gallery -- I felt a similar pain when Cheryl Tiegs got married.

I tried to explain that she was falling in love with pictures, that there could never be any real attraction without physical intimacy. (In other words, she could never love the ARF gallery like I loved those Playboy magazines.)

We l o s t o u r t w o b e l o v e d Whippets, and we are lonely – we want a dog or dogs around the house. But unlike Karen, I have not yet finished the grieving process. I believe that these things take time. I don’t think we should rush into this.

In other words, I want to wait until summer so I don’t have to get up in the middle of a freezing cold night and walk one of those little buggers because he figured out how to open up the Whitman’s Sampler that was hidden in the closet and got the runs (hell, it’s bad enough when it happens to me).

And I don’t want to come home and find the kitchen garbage overturned, its contents scattered around the house, including things that are hidden so well they escape detection until the maggots give them away years later.

The bottom line is this: for all

intents and purposes, Karen is pregnant. I don’t mean that in the biblical sense, wherein in nine months she is going to have a baby with horns and a tail, though with me as the father that would certainly be a plausible outcome.

What it all means is Karen is going to have a baby. Her friends might as well plan the baby shower right now. It is inevitable – I no longer have a say in the matter. I can only pray, like an expectant father, that everything comes out OK. Dear God, please don’t give me an ugly baby. We’ve all seen this happen with humans, where you approach a friend who just had a baby and the thing looks like a gargoyle. The mother always says, ‘Isn’t he cute?’

You stifle the correct response, which is, “Maybe if that head was on the end of a stick.”

Dear God, I don’t want a rodent living in my house. Karen has decided, since I’ve stated my opposition to getting a dog, that if she were to get a really tiny one I wouldn’t mind.

The other day she showed me a Chihuahua.

“Isn’t he cute?” Yeah, if you think rats are attractive. And where I come from a Schnauzer is a nose.

God, please don’t give me a rheumy one. You know what I’m talking about – the dogs that have that snot stuff constantly around there eyes.

Typically, they are adroit at rubbing it on humans, specifically me.

Please send one with the Saliva-Back Guarantee. Some dogs combine heavy panting with an overactive saliva gland that causes liquid to flow from them much like a burbling brook (or is it a gurgling brook?).

Finally, I ask only that like Don Corleone, my next child be a “masculine one.” No Fru-Fru of Wuffy.

I want a manly name, like Vito or Tuffy. And he better not be named after the UPS guy.

EDITORIAL A Step Back Judging from the hundreds of protestors who are turning out to oppose a deer shoot ‘em up proposed for the East End, it is time for both sides to take a step back.

The impetus for the hunt is real: the numbers of deer-related auto accidents are on the rise, deer carry disease-carrying ticks, and the deer are eating everything in sight. We get that.

Both sides are entrenched: those who oppose the cull say the deer will reproduce faster. Those who are pro-kill say contraception or sterilization alternatives are too expensive, and they simply dismiss the evidence that deer indeed will increase procreation if the herd is thinned.

From where we sit it is kind of silly for some of the richest municipalities on earth to quibble over the cost of a deer contraception study.

What is more worrisome is our local municipalities have jumped headfirst into the cull, which will be under the auspices of the United States Department of Agriculture and the result of lobbying from the head of the Long Island Farm Bureau, Joe Gergela.

Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell is one of the cull’s most enthusiastic supporters. Granted, Southold is rich in farmland and the deer wreak havoc on the crops. But Russell seems to be leaping blindly into committing to the cull. For one thing, the deer cull would seem to require a full Environmental Impact Study that by state law would have to include a study of viable alternatives. We would think Russell would want an EIS before allowing the shooting to begin.

Nuisance permits are available to farmers who want to bring in their own hunters.

A coordinated effort to recruit more private landowners to allow hunting, and perhaps a longer season that all the municipalities on the East End would abide by, would be alternatives that should be tested.

Independent VOICES

Unrelenting Expansion Hi Rick, I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision for the people in charge to authorize plans to cull deer in East Hampton. They are also family folks with children who have their own pets. To call them wildlife haters would be off base.

However those in charge were elected to serve the citizens of the Town and do what they feel is best for them. When our and many other grandchildren come to visit we are leery of letting them play outdoors. I

wonder how many of the people marching in the rally on the 17th know people that have suffered the long-term effects of dreaded Lyme disease? I asked several of them and received no response. In many instances this disease goes undiagnosed for a good while. By then it becomes an affliction that lingers on and on.

Driving on deer occupied roads has also become a great hazard. We’re constantly on the outlook for deer, so our eyes are not focused where they should be, on the road, not to either side. Perhaps when the deer population is somewhat diminished after the cull, other ways of controlling their unrelenting expansion can be improvised.

For the present, it’s mandatory to protect our citizens safety and welfare at the sacrifice of the deer. Common sense

Independent/James J. Mackin

One only needs to hear Gergela speak about the cull to realize there is something very wrong here. He speaks, almost gleefully, of “sharpshooters” who will focus on “does and baby deer” taking them out with shots to the head. These upisland sharpshooters would be roaming our neighborhoods, completely unfamiliar with the terrain. Thousands of citizens have signed a petition opposing the cull.

Aren’t our elected officials supposed to be representing them as well as the special interests?

The East Hampton Trustees, for example, point out no one has even asked if these sharpshooters would be allowed on Trustees’ managed land. That could end up in court, and at least one other suit has already been filed, with more expected.

Here’s the bottom line: the cull isn’t going to happen this year. We suggest all the municipalities get together and fund a contraception and sterilization study, and finally seriously consider implementing it, regardless of the cost. Then give it a few years to work. Meanwhile, encourage those who are hurt economically to apply for nuisance permits to allow hunting on their property.

Gergela speaks of the “infestation” of deer as if they are bedbugs in a hotel. It’s important to realize what species really “infested” the East End. It’s quite possible the deer population hasn’t changed much over the years, but the human population – and the accompanying development – has. has to prevail.

MARTY O.

A Major Threat Letter to the Editor, A former owner of an ice cream company is waging a campaign questioning the necessity of the Pentagon’s large-scale weapons systems, including the F-35 fighter bomber which has been plagued with problems yet to be resolved.

We have a need for the development and implementation of strategic weapons systems to counter the systems of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

Our large-scale weapons systems have kept potential adversaries at bay

since World War II, and will continue to perform this vital function. The previously mentioned countries have extensive strategic weapons systems and continue to improve them and develop new, more lethal weapons.

I agree with the ice cream guy that we have to assign resources to address the threat of terrorism. In particular, Islamic terrorism is a major threat to world peace as evidenced by the attacks in this country, Europe, Russia and the Middle East.

If the former ice cream guy can guarantee the strategic weapons systems of potential adversaries will melt away, maybe we can convert some of our military manufacturing facilities to the production Continued on Page 14.

Do The Right Thing Dear Editor, It’s good news that municipalities in New York will now be able to enact stricter regulations on puppy mills, but prospective animal guardians can also do their part to stop animals from suffering in cruel massbreeding mills by adopting animals from shelters, instead of buying them from pet stores, breeders, parking lots, classified ads, or over the Internet.

What were your favorite books as a child?

Lee King We had Shirley Temple books and paper dolls.

And we read classic fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White And The Seven Dwarves. And I don’t know how long Snoopy’s been around but I was in love with Snoopy from the very beginning.

Josephine Wurm I loved Little Bear, by Elsa Minarek, and the traditional nursery rhymes. I read Humpty Dumpty and Little Miss Muffet and Little Red Riding Hood. And I remember reading The Hobbit. That was a great book. It was a bit scary but I remember loving it.

Bill Nicolai I loved Babar. I read all of the books in the series. The illustrations were so beautiful. I even had a Babar poster hanging on my bedroom wall. The books have had remarkable staying power. I believe they are still bestsellers to this day. They’re absolutely timeless.

Marlene Zapin I remember the “Golden Books” series. The Little Red Hen, Cinderella, Thumbelina, The Little Mermaid and Hans Christian Anderson. I loved those books. They were what all the children read at the time. I liked those stories much better before Disney got to them.

hellish warehouses where animals are kept in tiny, feces-caked cages and are never given any love, attention, or even a chance to roll in the grass. Food, veterinary care, and shelter are often inadequate, and female animals are often killed when their worn-out bodies can no longer produce offspring. Many mother dogs spin endlessly in their cages, driven mad from years of deprivation.

In light of this, as well as the countless lovable animals waiting in shelters for good homes, adoption is the kind option for people who care about animals. Visit www.peta.org to learn more.

Dear Editor, On January 1 an astronomically huge number of new regulations and rules were foisted on us that involve almost every facet of our lives. Every movement we make is monitored by the NSA, our taxes are not only too high but we are taxed on so many levels that most aren’t aware of the multiple layers of taxation.

These 10,500 pages of new regulations, in one fell swoop, should raise the hackles of every citizen. Most of these regulations

are not laws passed by Congress but are edicts from unelected bureaucrats. As we now know, worst of all, our legislators are almost never reading them.

We, as citizens, must join the movement to curtail presidential executive orders that bypass the congressional process mandated by the Constitution.

We must find ways to support fiscally conservative candidates in the upcoming election, and you must voice your outrage to our elected officials at every increase in our taxes and regulations. When only 92 million Americans are out of work and only 52 percent of citizens are paying taxes it doesn’t take a genius to realize we are nearing the tipping point of a complete meltdown of our economy and our entire way of life.

We Americans were not created to serve government, our founders created a government that was meant to serve us. Our Constitution enumerates the responsibilities of the federal government, and severely limits its powers, mainly to protect us from an over reaching government. Government has now brazenly expanded its grasp on our freedoms. There isn’t time to waste, get involved now.

Water Supe On Tap

Continued from page 4.

Southold has adopted an approval resolution, while Riverhead Town officials have said, “Thanks, but no thanks.”

The prior administration in East Hampton Town adopted a deer management plan that includes using a cull and voted to support the Farm Bureau plan, but failed to allocate the funding. Pointing to the lawsuits, Supervisor Larry Cantwell said he doubts any cull could happen in East Hampton this year. An environmental review of the proposal would have to be completed, he believes. But opponents complain an attempt to avoid environmental review is underway.

They also look askance at the failure to thoroughly pursue non-lethal methods of managing the deer population, such as sterilization, and question the veracity of population figures.

Others disparage the argument that decreasing the deer population will result in fewer cases of Lyme disease among humans. If ticks that carry Lyme lose their prime hosts, they’re more likely to hop on humans, they assert.

A cadre of camouflage–attired protestors walked alongside the

www.indyeastend.com

wildlife advocates on Saturday.

Michael Tesstitore of Hunters for Deer said that if there were less stringent hunting laws in place, “We’d be able to take care of the problem through proper regulation.” Hunting should be the main management tool on Long Island, he added.

Meanwhile, organizers hope the show of numbers at the rally helps elected officials see their voters oppose the cull. “If we live in a democracy, this should matter,” said Crain. Echoing statements made

by Crain, John Di Leonardo, LION president and chair of the League of Humane Voters of Long Island called upon voters to send a message to their representatives: if you want to get re-elected, quash the cull. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

NOT TOO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR SANITATION SERVICE? Emil Norsic & Son has been delivering quality and reliability on the East End since 1932.

It was only a little over a year ago that Robert King stepped away from his long time responsibility as Leader of the Water District Maintenance Crew to accept his appointment as Water District Superintendent.

With the title came the obligation to pump, treat, store, and distribute potable water; it is no small responsibility to be the man bearing the burden for delivering high quality drinking water to homes and businesses of a water district as large as Hampton Bays. That is a 24/7 job 365 days a year, with staff on call at all times.

This month, a year following his appointment, King will appear in a public forum at the Hampton Bays Civic Association meeting. A “Meet and Greet” begins at 6:30 PM and the meeting starts at 7 PM on Monday at the Southampton Town Community Center, 25 Ponquogue Avenue.

King will speak about his first year as superintendent, reveal some of the history of the water district, his future plans for the Hampton Bays Water District, and, compare bottled water to Hampton Bays drinking water for taste, legality, and cost.

This happy boy with his smiling face and frog legs is Henry. It was taken two years ago. At the time Henry was at the Riverhead Shelter.

He was a favorite with Noreen, one of the volunteers, and worked well with the trainer Gina, who visited regularly.

When he was going to be euthanized, a number of advocates

By Sue Hansen

came to his defense. Henry was subsequently transferred to a sanctuary upstate. He lived the remainder of his life there and enjoyed the company of other animals and his caretakers.

RSVP, Inc., a local animal welfare organization, financed his boarding costs with the help of donations.

Henry passed away in December and is remembered in our prayers.

RSVP continues to promote “Responsible Solutions for Valued Pets.” Visit www.rsvpinc.org or call 631-533-2PET for more information about this all-volunteer group. And please consider a tax-deductible donation in support of their efforts, helping those without a voice. PO Box 335, Eastport, NY 11941.

Newly appointed East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo called them “an educated, professional and dedicated group.”

Last Thursday night, three members of EHTPD and one harbormaster were promoted to higher ranks.

Captain Chris Anderson (top, left, with Sarlo.) has been “the backbone of our detective division since I’ve been a police officer,” Chief Sarlo said. Dubbed by the chief “The smartest guy in our police department,” Rob Gurney (top, right) was promoted to lieutenant. Sarlo’s lifelong friend Greg Schaefer (center) was made sergeant and Tim Treadwell (above) of the marine patrol was sworn in as senior harbormaster.

Several Teams Making Playoff Pushes

By Rick Murphy

Several local boys basketball teams bolstered their chances of making the playoffs last week, none more so than the Bridgehampton Bees.

Never mind the Bees lost to Pierson on Saturday, 71-60. The Whalers, a Class C team, sit atop the League VIII standings with a sterling 7-1 mark and have their eyes on a County C title.

The Bees have bigger – make that smaller – fish to fry. Bridgehampton, a Class D school, needs only to finish with a .500 mark to qualify for the playoffs, and regardless of how the team fares in the county tournament; it can earn a berth in the NY State championships with a postseason win or two, The Whalers, playing at home, snapped the Bees four game winning streak 70-61, but it was a hard fought affair until the final stanza when Pierson went on a 22-13 spurt.

Credit Forrest Loesch, who has been merrily bombing away all season.

He torched the Bees for 30 on this day, and Bridgehampton simply could not match his firepower.

Ian Barrett added 12 points for Pierson and dished nine assists. Rob Evjen had 10 points and snared 12 rebounds, as did Drew Harvey.

Bridgehampton had to be satisfied with its recent play, having knocked off Shelter Island, Greenport, Knox, and Ross in succession, the latter an 86-55 blowout in the Hive on

Lady Whalers Seize Control of First Place

The Pierson/Bridgehampton Lady Whalers sit comfortably atop League VIII after taking out Port Jefferson on the loser’s home court Saturday.

Pierson used a balanced scoring attack to counteract the determined

Thursday. All of those teams are Class D rivals.

Josh Lamison, the nephew of former Bees’ great, J.R. Harding, is making a name for himself around the league. Thursday was his coming out party, as the youngster went off for a career high 33 points.

Tylik Furman added 20 and Naajae Lamb 17 for the winners. Jiahui Guo scored 18 for Ross.

Lamison tallied 17 more against Pierson and grabbed 12 rebounds.

Jerome Walker also had 17, and Furman added 14.

Shelter Island, 4-5 in League VIII and very much in the Class D race, lost a heartbreaker at East Rockaway, 53-51 despite 29 points

by Tristen Wisseman, though the game was a non-league encounter.

Southold, a Class C school, moved to 4-5 in League VIII play by knocking off Greenport, 57-55 on Saturday. Liam Walker went coast to coast for a buzzer-eating layup to secure the victory. He finished with 15 points and added five assists and eight rebounds. Gavin Dibble scored 19 for the losers and Timmy Stevens added 11.

East Hampton improved to 2-4 in League VI action, taking out Shoreham/Wading River at home Friday, 46-29. Kyle McKee scored 19, Brandon Hughes added 10, and Thomas Nelson snared 13 rebounds.

13 points. May Evjen tallied 12 and grabbed 11 boards. Erica Selyukova also recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Kasey Gilbride also tallied 10 for the winners.

The victory moved the locals to 6-1 in League VIII action, providing breathing room over Mercy (4-2) and Southold/Greenport, (3-3). The Monarchs, on the road, bested the Settlers 59-55 Saturday. Fiona Nunez (13) and Kayle Schroeher combined for 25 points for the winners. Shannon Smith tallied 11 and Cindy Ann Bourgondien, 10 for the losers.

Pierson travels to Stony Brook Friday; tip-off is scheduled for 7:30.

East Hampton dropped to 1-6 in

League VI action Saturday, losing at home to powerful Glenn, 59-32.

Carly Seekamp scored eight for the locals and Jackie Messenger contributed five points. East Hampton travels to Pierson today for a non-league encounter.

Westhampton fell to 2-5 in League V, losing at home to Miller Place Saturday. Camryn Bancroft and Kennedy Skaler each scored five points for the locals.

Hampton Bays sits in second place in League VII standings with a 5-1 mark after crushing Southampton 62-37 on Thursday.

The Lady Mariners fell to 2-4 in league action. The Baywomen get Wyandanch at home tomorrow and travel to Mattituck (3-2) Tuesday.

Big East, Big Disappointment After crawling out of the grave last year, the Big East came into the 2013-14 season with plenty of excitement and promise. Despite the recent defections of Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame, the Big East brought in three new schools, a big-time TV deal with Fox Sports 1, and a stranglehold on Madison Square Garden as host of their conference tournament. But, as we cross the halfway mark of college basketball’s regular season, the Big East has proven anything but intimidating.

On a positive note, the biggest conference surprise has been the Villanova Wildcats. Villanova has

been a top-ten team for the past several weeks, and holds a strong non-conference resume with wins over Number 2 Kansas and Number 23 Iowa. Not only have the Wildcats been the biggest surprise in the conference, they’ve also been one of the most stunning teams in the country. Frankly, their top-ten ranking may be slightly inflated by a weak conference, but neither the Cats, nor the Big East will complain.

Unfortunately for the Big East, there have been far too many teams that have surprisingly underachieved, headlined by Marquette and Georgetown. The Golden Eagles were a preseason

top-25 squad, but started the season with five non-conference losses.

Granted their non-conference included two top-ten teams (Ohio State, Wisconsin), but conference play hasn’t been much better, off to a 2-3 start. Meantime, Georgetown has an awful non-conference loss to Northeastern, and double-digit conference losses to Providence, Xavier, and Seton Hall. Also, the Hoyas are the Conference’s biggest brand. It is best for the Big East to have John Thompson III’s team remain nationally relevant.

Locally, St. John’s has been a disaster. The Red Storm beat Dartmouth Saturday, their first win in the New Year. They’re 10-8 overall, and 0-5 in Big East play. The Red Storm has arguably the most athletic roster in the Conference with players Rysheed Jordan, D’Angelo Harrison, and God’sgift Achiuwa.

Coach Steve Lavin deserves some blame for not doing more with a lot of talent, and highly recruited players. In his defense, he has a young team, has had a tough non-conference schedule (Wisconsin, Syracuse), and played three of the first four conference games on the road. And like any young team, string together a few wins, build some confidence, and St. John’s can be dangerous by February.

But, the problem is, with the hole

IN THE NEWS

they have dug themselves, the wins must come ASAP, or the chances to make the NCAA Tournament will be non-existent.

Prior to the season, I believed a successful year for the “new” Big East would include five of 10 teams playing in the Big Dance. Since it is a smaller sized conference, 50 percent of the league earning a berth to the NCAA’s would be very respectable.

But, with the way the season has played out so far, getting five in seems unlikely.

After Villanova and Creighton, the second tier of the conference must begin to crystalize. Xavier, Georgetown, and Marquette are still the best bets. Without improvement from the other eight teams, the conference risks not being considered one of the “Big Boys” along with the ACC, Big 10, and Pac 12.

For a conference that prides itself as basketball-centric, that would be embarrassing. You only get one first impression. For this collection of ten Big East teams, this is it. It’s imperative they don’t blow it.

House was built in 1666 and is one of the very few remaining homes from the 17th century on the East Coast. Today it is managed by the Southampton Historical Museum as a historic house museum open to the public.

There are 43 windows that embody a wide range of Southampton history between the 17th to early 19th centuries. In many cases the glazing has dried, frames have dry rot and glass panes are falling to the ground.

These windows are in dire need of repair. A total of $100,000 is needed for a complete restoration.

A matching gift of $50,000 was made by an anonymous donor and the goal has almost been reached.

A gift of $2000 entitles the donor to have one of the windows dedicated with a name on a plaque to be remembered forever.

The campaign began in October and has been very successful. There’s still time to leave a legacy for you or your family. The donation of $2000 is 100 percent tax deductible. Send a check to Southampton Historical Museum, Box 303, Southampton, NY 11969. Or use your credit card by calling 631-283-2494.
