Senior Residents At Housing Complex Ready To Sue

By Rick Murphy

A group of senior citizens who live in affordable apartments in Springs are preparing to sue officials over a mold problem they say is making them sick.

Windmill Village II, which is owned by an LLC run by a board of directors and under the auspices of the Town of East Hampton Office of Housing And Community Development, has been plagued with the problem for years. But while officials say it is confined to the basement and has been professionally cleared up, residents say cleanups have been ineffective and their health woes are mounting.

The Housing Office administers federal funds (housing and urban development subsidies) that are paid to Windmill to make the apartments affordable for almost all of the seniors who live in the 47 units, spread out over eight buildings.

Last week Eleanor Cobb, a former resident who moved out of her apartment after being warned by her doctors, hired Frank L. Pellegrini, a lawyer with the Manhattan-based firm Pellegrini & Associates, to represent her in an action she intends to file against everyone concerned. More tenants are meeting with Pellegrini this week. They say they have had enough.

“Tenants have a right, a warranty of inhabitability. If they are in danger, that is a breach, and it is a serious offense,” Pellegrini said.

Cobb said that earlier this year she began feeling ill and noticed her hair falling out. “I went downstairs and saw the mold.” On three occasions, eye doctors from Peconic Ophalmology warned her in writing to leave her apartment, number 33 in Building 15. Doctor Louis Pizzarello wrote, “She cannot enter her apartment” and stated it “is hazardous to her health.”

On July 26, 2013 Kathleen M. Restivo, a Lake Success doctor wrote that Cobb had to be vacated from her apartment. “She is short of breath . . . she has a sore throat. . . she is recently losing her hair . . . the mold

is being vented directly up under her air conditioner. It would be a shame to have her succumb to an environmental hazard.”

The reason Cobb needed documentation is because all of the renters signed a lease stating that the apartments were their primary residences — if they left, not only would their federal assistance end, but they would not have their leases renewed. They were, in essence trapped in the moldinfected dwellings.

Though Cobb was allowed to move, Joan Holden, the tenant’s representative, said many others should have been vacated at the time. East Hampton Town was about to open a brand new affordable senior citizen facility in Amagansett named St. Michael’s, but filled it with new renters rather than invite Windmill II residents there.

Holden maintained Windmill LLC, which also runs St. Michael’s in Amagansett, didn’t do so because they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to rent the Windmill units again given the mold problem.

Helen Miley, in Building 3, apartment 14, felt sick and rundown.

“I’m always sick. I’m choking. I can’t breath,” she related. “I went into the city and it cleared up. I came back again and it started again.”

Holden developed allergies, then arthritis and asthma.

D i r e c t o r o f To w n o f E a s t Hampton Office of Housing and Community Development Tom Ruhle acknowledged that there’s been a recurring mold problem at Windmill II dating back for years, but says the Windmill board has worked diligently each time to address it, though in 2009 Ruhle’s office withheld $150,000 in HUD funds from Windmill until the matter was adequately addressed – Windmill said it spent $85,000 to eradicate the mold.

“I’d like to know where it went,” said Richard Warmay, a sheet rocker by trade. “They have never supplied documentation of any kind.” “ We brought in two mold

specialists to give us their opinions.

They claim that there is no indication that $85,000 worth of work was done on the basement. They then explained what needed to be done now, as well as what should have been done, but wasn’t,” Holden said.

Michael DiSario, the chairman of the Windmill II LLC board, said when the problem reared up again last summer Insight Environmental was hired to help to manage the cleanup and conduct testing. He said his board is determined to clean the problem up and make the tenants happy.

“Yes, there is a mold problem, but it is not the serious kind,” Ruhle said. Water leaks had contaminated the sheetrock basement ceilings and caused mildew. To combat the problem, the residents were ordered to remove all their belongings from the basements. The affected sheet rock was then ripped down, and a solution of bleach and water sprayed. Ruhle and DiSario said the mold has not spread into the apartments, though there is visual evidence to refute that, at least in two apartments inspected by The Independent.

I wake up choking.” Holden said she told the powers-that-be. “They didn’t care.

They did nothing.”

Several residents hired Mildew Busters in Shelter Island to take samples from the basements last August. The results came back from Pro-Lab in Weston, Florida, and they Continued ON page 26.

Suspended Officer Also Facing Lawsuit

By Rick Murphy

The disgraced East Hampton Village cop accused of having an alleged tryst with a much younger traffic control officer -- in a house the pair entered without permission -- is in more hot water.

Mario Julio Galeano, 31, was suspended with pay after the incident, on December 30. The TCO, Jennifer Rosa, was summarily fired.

Court papers obtained by The Independent reveal Galeano has a lot more to worry about. He is being taken to court by former East Hampton Town cop Robert Wood over an incident that occurred in August, 2007.

Wood, a controversial figure who had been accused of mistreating prisoners on two occasions, was involved in a very public feud with Village Police Chief Jerry Larsen, who was dating, and ultimately married, Wood’s estranged wife.

According to police accounts and court documents, Wood approached a Latino man who was talking with Galeano near Waldbaum’s on Newtown Lane and warned the individual that he was under police surveillance. Galeano, according to court documents, was acting in an undercover role, apparently trying to procure drugs. Testimony in a False Arrest suit brought by Wood in United States Eastern District Court later revealed the individual Galeano was talking to at the time apparently was not a drug dealer after all.

Wood was arrested and charged with obstruction of governmental administration – but the charge didn’t stick. Wood argued that Galeano was involved in an earlier incident that was hidden from the Grand Jury, which failed to indict Wood. According to court documents, Wood maintained “[t]he Village hid from the Suffolk County District Attorney . . . substantial evidence about Officer Galeano’s motive for bringing the information against [Plaintiff] and having him arrested” and that, as a result, the Grand Jury did not hear that evidence.

“Plaintiff [Wood] states “Galeano had [a] motive to salvage his career after an incident that occurred on December 30, 2006.”

On that date Galeano allegedly pulled over a driver who he suspected of driving intoxicated but let him go after he realized it was a friend. Larsen, according to court papers filed by Wood, learned about the incident but let Galeano, then in his third year on the force, off with a

slap on the wrist — he was penalized 30 vacation days.

Wood maintained in court papers that Larsen was setting him up and had harassed him previously when he was arrested in 2007. Moreover, he suspects Galeano was being used by Larsen for that purpose, and that Galeano had no choice but to submit because his record, marred by the incident in 2006, was such that his career was in jeopardy.

Wood sued several police officers, East Hampton Village as well as Mayor Paul Rickenbach, Galeano, and Larsen. All of them filed for summary judgment – that is, asked the court to dismiss the case.

United States District Judge

Denis Hurley, in a ruling dated January 7, refused a request for dismissal by Galeano, and two other village police officers who claimed they were acting in the course of duty and “qualified immunity shields government officials from liability for civil damages as a result of their performance of discretionary functions, and serves to protect government officials from the burdens of costly, but insubstantial, lawsuits.”

Hurley denied the motion: “Genuine issues of fact remain at this stage regarding whether it was objectively reasonable to believe that probable cause existed to arrest,” he wrote.

Larsen, in a separate filing, also sought to have Wood’s case dismissed. Hurley ruled against the chief: “Since triable issues of fact exist as to whether Larsen was personally involved in the alleged deprivation of Plaintiff’s constitutionally protected rights through his grossly negligent management of his subordinates . . .”

Galeano and two other officers (but not Larsen) did get relief from one of Wood’s charges. Hurley dismissed a portion of the case that alleged there was “fraud, perjury or misrepresentation of evidence at the time the warrant [for Wood’s arrest] was obtained.”

It’s going to be one of those tens of thousands of Chinese deliverymen, wearing baseball caps, who pedal their broken-down bikes around New York City every Sunday night. Yes, they ride in the Bloomberg-now-de Blasio bike lanes, but always in the wrong direction.

On Sunday nights in New York City, thousands of people who are too lazy to cook call for food from hundreds of restaurants. The food, ranging from Roast Pork Chow Fun and Beef Young Sing Lo Mein to pizza with pepperoni, is put in the hands of these Chinese gentlemen, who will go through fire to make sure the food will reach its final destination – your stomach.

Tons of food seems to be delivered by tens of thousands of Chinese deliverymen who speak no English and seem to only pedal their bikes against traffic. They don’t swerve to avoid taxicabs. Instead, they fix their “Night of the Living Dead” stares and aim their bikes at the grilles of taxis traveling at them at 50 miles an hour on narrow streets.

Taxicabs, I might add, that are being driven by people, many of whom have never driven on a paved street, and like their Chinese counterparts speak no English.

It’s scary. These are nice, hardworking Chinese deliverymen who have been smuggled into the country to be “The Deliverymen from Hell.”

kill more Americans than their countrymen from the Chinese mainland who for years were sending us slightly poisoned food and lead toys.

The other night I got out of a cab after a ride by a cabdriver from Afghanistan who drove as if he had been commissioned by the Taliban to kill me. As I got out of the cab, I felt something brush against me. I jumped out of the way and thus missed by inches having my hip or leg broken by a zombie on a bike carrying bags of spareribs in one hand to some Park Avenue destination. He was riding his bike the wrong way on a one-way street that was covered with ice. He had a cigarette dangling from his lips.

It was snowing, and for a minute I had this thought that perhaps in the Winter Olympics in Sochi they might add another category where deliverymen can race each other with bikes on ice. If the race does take place, bet on the Chinese team.

They’re naturals to come away with the gold medal.

I watched the deliveryman who almost did me in pedal his way into the night. He disappeared out of sight quickly, with no reflectors on his bike to give him a fighting chance against a car.

Then the advertising man in me came out and I borrowed a slogan for all Chinese deliverymen to chant: “Neither rain nor snow nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds to deliver Moo Goo Gai Pan to the masses.”

Downtown HB Gets Big Boost

By Emily Toy

Downtown Hampton Bays may be getting a facelift as plans for the development of Good Ground Park draw closer and closer to becoming reality.

At last Thursday’s work session, Town Planning and Development Administrator Kyle Collins provided an update on the park’s status to the town board, noting the year round park will act as “an anchor for the central business district.”

Last month Southampton Town was awarded a $128,519 grant to spruce up the 36-acre parcel of land located on Montauk Highway, near Ponquogue Avenue. The grant comes from the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council and is part of $83 million of state money given to nearly 100 projects in Nassau and Suffolk Counties announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo in December.

According to Collins, a concept plan was recently generated to visit issues of topography, aesthetics, and use.

The project is widely supported, especially from Hampton Bays 1 businessIndependentAd_July12_Vert.pdf owners and the Hampton

Your Home is Your Most Valuable Asset

Bays Civic Association.

Although nothing is set in stone yet, some ideas for the park include installing an amphitheater, playground, picnic tables, restrooms, and a pavilion.

Deputy Supervisor Frank Zappone said such features in the park would enhance the entire environment, adding cultural events would have a home, something he said was missing from Hampton Bays.

“Hampton Bays will have this asset,” Collins said. “It will be comparable to Agawam Park in Southampton or Marine Park in Sag Harbor. It will act as an anchor

to bring people in.” He added the planning board already adopted a pre-submission site plan on the property.

Continuing trails throughout the park, as well as providing additional seating and overlook areas, are other items both the town board and developers alike want to see.

“That’s such a great park,” Councilwoman Bridget Fleming said. “It will be exciting to have the trails continue.”

Councilman Stan Glinka said he’s excited and eager to see the big and positive economic impact the

newly developed park will have on the Hampton Bays downtown area.

“The Hampton Bays community would benefit, people will be happy,” Glinka said. “It’s an area that needs to be cleaned up.”

Glinka said he wanted to see this project move forward fastidiously.

“Anything you need come to me and I’ll be happy to move it along,” he declared.

Zappone added the discussed plan was “not the final design,” stressing “there will be ample opportunity for public input” over the next few weeks.

Helter Skelter Real Estate Market

By Rick Murphy

The East End real estate, is like the Sally Field character in the classic movie Sybil – you never know what personality it will take on at any given time.

A comparison of third quarter sales to the same period last year showed units were moving at a much faster clip and inventory was dropping.

A new fourth quarter analysis by Jonathan Miller of Miller Samuel, prepared for Elliman, shows few clear trends emerging. However, an accompanying 10-year analysis confirms that East End real estate is still a very safe bet to appreciate in value.

“Aside from comparisons against last year’s “fiscal cliff” surge in high end sales, current market

shows stability,” Miller pointed out.

Expiring tax credits that made selling off high-end properties financially prudent brought about the sell-off at the end of 2012.

There is no doubt sales slipped, though: there were sales above $1 million, price indicators fell, and listing inventory jumped from a year ago low.

In the Hamptons, Median Sales price fell 15 percent to $770,500 and Average Sales price declined 26.1 percent to $1,574,327. The number of deed transfers slipped 6.2 percent to 496.

There were some encouraging signs: Days on Market was 163 days, down 25.2 percent. The Listing Discount dropped considerably, to 7.9 percent from 13.1 percent.

Similar to the Hamptons, Price Indicators fell from a year ago and the “fiscal cliff” numbers skew upper

end sales.

But there was plenty of good news: Sales hit a five-year high – 167 in the fourth quarter - and like the Hamptons Days on Market and Listing Discount fell as market conditions remained “tight.”

Median Sales Price on the North Fork declined six percent to $453,500.

Average Sales Price increased 14.4 percent to $634,826.

Looking at the 10-year comparison, despite a somewhat stagnant market since 2008, the Average Sales Price on the East End rose 35.5 percent since 2004. In the Hamptons, it rose 44.7 percent, to over $1.5 million.

Sales of high-end properties – over $3.3 million -- rose 69.2 percent since 2004.

On the North Fork the numbers are more sobering: the Average Sales Price since 2004 actually decreased by 9.2 percent to $601.847.

Met Area Braces For Super Sunday

By Rick Murphy

This Sunday the Super Bowl will be played in the New York Metropolitan area for the first time -- in New Jersey. It will also be the first time the big game will be played in a non-dome stadium in the northern part of the country.

Though a storm would have a catastrophic effect on the game, early forecasts say it will be 35 to 40 degrees with a chance of precipitation. Denver, the American Conference champion, is a 2.5-point favorite over Seattle, the National Conference champ.

The game features Peyton Manning, the Denver quarterback who may be the best to ever play the game. This year, at age 37, he shattered every major passing record. He is the older brother of Eli Manning, who has led the Giants to two Super Bowl victories in the past five years.

The Broncos have surrounded Manning with the best set of receivers in the game: DeMaryius Thomas, a legitimated superstar, Wes Welker, Eric Decker, and tight end Julius Thomas.

Defense is Seattle’s calling card.

The Seahawks have the league’s best. On offense, second year quarterback Russell Wilson will rely on running back Marshawn Lynch to control the game and keep Manning off the field.

What To Expect When Denver Has The Ball: Manning will attempt to establish his running game with Knowshon Moreno but will quickly revert to what he does best: throw the ball, specifically on short slants and dump offs. Seattle will try to get to Manning and rough him up, a strategy that seldom works.

However, the Seahawks have a talented defensive secondary and Manning will find the pickings harder than usual.

What To Expect When Seattle Has The Ball: Lynch will get his 25 carries, but Denver will be stacked to stop him. San Francisco tried the same strategy in the NFC title game and was successful – until Lynch broke through on a 40-yard TD romp. Don’t be surprised if Wilson tests the improving Denver defense early by going deep.

Wildcards: Manning is better at

home than on the road, and better in warm weather than cold. If it is wet, windy and/or cold it could have a negative impact on him.

Seattle traded a king’s ransom to get Percy Harvin, a game-breaking receiver and kick returner who missed 15 of 16 games with assorted injuries but is healthy now. Look for Wilson to get him the ball, perhaps even on a couple end-arounds.

The game will begin at 6:30. It will be played at the new MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Bruno Mars will perform at halftime. It is expected more than 110 million people will watch the game live on television; commercials cost $4 million for a 30 second clip. Super

Bowl XLVIII will be broadcast on Fox network with its A Team, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, handling the play by play.

Tickets can still be had on the secondary market for around $3000 but those are the cheap seats to be sure. Capacity is 85,000 – plus an estimated 4000 security personnel.

Oddly enough, though football is purely an American game, the list of favorite Super Bowl dishes has a decided South of the Border feel.

A recent poll asked fans what they were most likely to eat during the game. Chips and salsa, guacamole, tacos, chili, and Nachos held down five of the first seven spots: the other two were pizza and hot wings.

Super Bowl Staff Picks Pete Mundo, Sports Columnist When assessing Super Bowl XLVIII between the Broncos and Seahawks, it is the classic offense versus defense match up. Denver is the League’s best offense, in yards per game, and Seattle owns the best defense, in yards allowed per game.

But, while the Seahawks defense, led by mouthy cornerback Richard Sherman, gets all the attention, the Broncos “D” has quietly put together an impressive string. They have allowed just 60 points in the past four games, and no more than 17 in any of those contests. The Broncos defense is the most underrated unit in the game, and will prove a

difference maker.

Meantime, this is the biggest game of Peyton Manning’s life.

With a win he would become the first quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl with two franchises, and improves his playoff record to 12-11. Manning would officially enter the discussion for “Greatest of All Time.”

While Peyton has a legacy on the line, only one player on the Seahawks has ever played in a Super Bowl. With no 12th man (hometown fans) to back the Seahawks up, and no experience on this stage, this game belongs to Peyton. Broncos 28 Seahawks 17.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Rick Murphy, Editor Most everyone I know is picking Denver, which makes me think the Broncos should be more than a 2.5 point favorite. Yes, on a perfect day Peyton Manning can wreak havoc even on a defense as good as Seattle’s. But Denver, until the last few games, had one of the most porous defenses in the league, and several teams took them to the cleaners during the season: Dallas scored 48, the Colts 39, and New England 34. Denver has toughened up recently though, allowing only 60 points in the last four games combined.

Wilson is just a kid, but he’s calm and cool and he can do one thing Manning can’t – he can run. Wilson also gets Percy Harvin back, and he could well be the fastest player on the field Sunday. Denver knows it must stop running back Marshawn Lynch. To do so they will stack the line of scrimmage and that will open things up for the passing game. Everything is lined up for Manning anointment -- my bet is his coronation is going to have to wait.

Manning shows his age, and Seattle surprises Denver with Wilson doing damage on the ground and in the air, Harvin breaking a long one, and Lynch being the toughest SOB on the field. Seattle 27, Denver 24.

Jerry Della Femina Final score: Denver 31 Seattle 17.

Don’t bet on it. This is going to be a tough one. If you have to gamble, as I do, wait . . .

The line right now is Denver -2 1/2.

If you’re planning to bet Seattle: Hold on to your bet until maybe the last minute, or when it goes up to +3 Seattle. Here’s some gambler thinking: You wait and maybe you pick up the half point, which is big, because a lot of games are settled by a field goal.

You may even pick up a full point, giving you, at 3 1/2 points, a win in a game that’s decided by a field goal.

Both teams have great kickers.

Advantage to Seattle because of the thinner air in Denver. Who knows how good the Denver kicker will be in the thick, disgusting New Jersey air?

Then, of course, if it goes the other way and it drops to +2, you’re still in good shape, because when do you see a game decided by two points? Rarely. But if it drops to +1 1/2, jump on it because you want to be on the winning side of a onepoint game.

If you’re planning to bet Denver: Make half your bet now.

Give the 2 1/2 points and then wait until the day of the game for the rest of your bet.

If it’s raining or snowing, stay away from Denver. It’s better to lose half your money than all your money.

Russell Wilson (Seattle’s quarterback) doesn’t have to throw.

He can run for 90 to 110 yards.

Peyton Manning can’t run – he can only throw – and in bad weather he’s at a disadvantage.

The world of gambling suffered a great loss when I went into advertising. Good luck!

Pollock-Rich comes to The Retreat after dedicating the past three years to directing and supervising multiple critical domestic violence services, including outreach efforts, support programs, and a 38-bed shelter at the Camden County Women’s Center in Camden, New Jersey. Pollock-Rich earned a J.D. at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law in Philadelphia.

“We selected Michele Pollock Rich because she has the rare set of skills, experiences, and knowledge needed to do this job well -- and because it is very clear that Michele lives and breathes the mission of breaking the cycle of domestic violence -- our top priority” said Nicole Behrens, Board President of The Retreat.

“I’m very excited to be coming to The Retreat,” said Pollock Rich.

“I feel very honored to be selected.

When I was a teenager I was shocked at how narrow-minded my parents were.

It is, of course, the very nature of the generation gap that elders will never understand what the kids are thinking – and vice versa.

My dad was the Supervisor of Brooklyn State Nursing School that was housed at Brooklyn State Hospital, with its huge psychiatric ward.

When discussions turned to politics, or long hair, or marijuana he would lose his temper and blurt out, ”There are more nuts in this house

than there are at work!”

I vowed never to become such a fuddy-duddy. So it was when I was watching the Grammy Awards Sunday night I tried to stifle the urge to sound like him. It opened with a scantily clad Beyoncé singing “Drunk In Love.”

To say she was moving in a suggestive manner would be an understatement. I was thinking, “So is this the message we want to send to our daughters, that they should get drunk and act slutty?” But I said nothing.

That performance aside, the theme of the night was to pair young stars with old geezers. Ringo Starr sang – and what a musical genius that man is. Madonna did something that sounded a little like singing – she looks like she is made out of wax. The worst bunch, looks wise, was Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Merle Haggard, all of whom looked like they died a couple years ago and were preserved just for this monumental event.

Billy Joe Armstrong and Miranda Lambert performed an Everly Brothers song – he had more makeup on then she did. Just sayin’ – I myself have never felt the need, except for a little mascara once in a while.

The bottom line is it was a fun show. Most of the young stars performed live and played their own instruments – a decade ago it was all lip-synching, overdubs, and electronic music.

There was a local presence there – Paul McCartney and his new wife frequent Amagansett every summer.

He is now officially “Sir Paul” and everyone referred to him as such.

Question: Why not Sir Ringo?

Stevie Wonder, who used to rule the Grammys, has been relegated to a bit role, and that’s good. Wonder is one of those creeps who bowed to Palestinian pressure and refused to play in Israel. What goes around comes around, Stevie Boy. That brings me to my classic definition of Eternal Love: Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles playing tennis together.

Wonder, as usual, was dressed like a clown. The old joke about that is Wonder pays a handler five grand a week to buy him the best clothing money can buy. The guys go to the polyester bin at the dollar store and grabs whatever he can. Then they dress up Stevie and Stevie asks, “Do I look cool?” Everyone replies, “Yeah, man, really hip” while they divvy up the loot.

Metallica? Make it stop. I have always hated heavy metal music, which is devoid of melody, features vapid lyrics that repeat endlessly, and biker-type morons who pound their instruments into oblivion. On the other hand IMHO Taylor Swift, Sara Bareilles and John Legend all write, play, and sing well and are legitimate big stars.

Do not name your child Trombone Shorty, Lang Lang, or Juicy J, you’re just setting them up for painful, tortured childhoods. I went to school with Bobby Crappy, John Trojan, and palled around with Alan Lipschitz so I know firsthand how cruel the other kids can be.

One other Grammy observation: there is something bizarre in a world where one of the only people in the world prettier than Nicole Kidman is her husband – but I’ll say this for Keith Urban: he plays a mean guitar.

EDITORIAL

It is impossible to look objectively at the Affordable Care Act until it ceases to become a campaign issue. With Mid-term House elections coming up, that won’t happen anytime soon.

But looking at the ominous signs objectively, it becomes quite apparent that Obamacare is in critical condition and probably cannot survive long term.

Stripping aside politics and emotions, a rational look at events so far show the ACA is spiraling toward certain death unless things change drastically – and quickly.

That’s because all the critical components needed for the system to work are failing.

The most serious is the inability to attract young adults to the plan. Young adults are healthy, and their participation is needed to offset older participants who have higher medical costs.

Only about a quarter of those who signed up so far are between the ages of 18 and 34, lower than the roughly 40 percent share that the White House and independent experts had originally forecast. Without their participation, the only way for the system to work is if rates are raised drastically.

The big HMOs that reluctantly came aboard after being wooed –- and bribed -- by President Obama are having second thoughts. Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini said

Independent

of running the books, I’d add “and perhaps they have a friend who will do business with us and make up for it.” But knowing my dad – it wouldn’t bother him even if they didn’t refer anyone.

As an “agent who cares,” I am literally beside myself at the atrocities that have gone on in the market within the past few months. Why don’t I see the horror stories of the “small groups and business owners” in the news?

Long Island is made up of the mom and pop stores, the husband and wife groups, the small partnerships that keep that small town feel - and yet NO ONE is reporting what horrible travesties are being done to them. Has the ACA plan helped some, and shouldn’t that make up for the other stories?

Absolutely not.

About 500 of our groups and sole proprietors received termination letters back in October stating their plans were non-compliant with the Affordable Care

recently that Obamacare has failed to attract the uninsured, and he offered a scenario in which the insurance company could be forced to pull out of the program. That will start a chain reaction.

Target recently joined the growing ranks of large retailers that are dropping medical coverage for part time workers. Don’t blame the stores — it’s a better deal for the workers to take a cash stipend and instead sign up for Obamacare, because as moderate-income workers they will get a government subsidy – that means higher taxes. Millions of Americans who can’t afford it will get health insurance – and the rest of us will have to pay for them, directly or indirectly, because the millions of new customers Obama promised simply are not there.

By the next presidential election any candidate that doesn’t acknowledge repealing the ACA is the only logical action to take will be doomed to defeat.

In today’s Independent, there is a chilling letter to the editor from a local insurance agent whose business has taken a huge toll because of Obamacare. This is the human side of this mess that hasn’t been told yet – all over the country, and in every little town and big city, agents handle our health insurance, hire employees, rent and buy office space, and purchase equipment. They are, literally, the “Mom and Pops” this administration is supposed to be watching out for.

Read the letter and decide for yourself.

Act. Husband and wife groups were told they were terminated, as you couldn’t have a husband and wife on the books and use that to purchase health insurance with.

People that had Out of Network benefits and chose to pay the higher premiums for that plan – were told they were terminated because they didn’t meet the qualification of an employer group.

Individual plans were HMO’s and we went through the nightmare of attempting to confirm networks, which was the first horror and still is.

We were bombarded with phone calls in the mass confusion to find them a plan that best suited their need. A plan “like” their current policy, but not even close.

Staff members here worked overtime, many nights until midnight to contact all those being terminated and get them applications in time for a January 1 effective date.

It is now January 20th and ID#’s are hard to come by if not existent at this

point. Those with medical emergencies are being told to put it on credit cards and get reimbursement when ID cards are in.

However, the Networks are still issues, the fact they need referrals in order to see a specialist – and can’t because they can’t obtain the referral without a policy #???

We have horror stories of those with severe medical emergencies who can’t obtain lifesaving treatments.

To top it off – you now have doctors’ offices and hospitals hanging signs that they are not taking Affordable Care Act Obamacare plans, not the drastic difference between the “exchange” and “off exchange” plans. Off exchange plans means these business owners were being terminated, due to the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT LAW that the insurance companies implemented, enrolled themselves in PRIVATIZED fully paid by the business owner insurance – did not enroll online, did not obtain “money off” their insurance Continued on Page 14.

Rubber Stamp To the Editor, Your January 15 editorial “Open Government” hits the nail on the head and continues The Independent’s tradition of holding our leadership accountable.

Despite East Hampton Town Supervisor Cantwell’s pledges of transparency, opaquely ramming through the promotion of the senior harbormaster to Director of Public Safety raises troubling questions.

As you noted, Ed Michels’ tenure as senior harbormaster and earlier stint as head of the marine patrol was checkered at best. Despite these well-documented deficiencies and a “less than sterling resume,” why was the Town Board willing to rubber-stamp this promotion without any public debate or discussion?

Such actions by the new board merit the watchful eye of the public and media alike.

Kudos to The Independent for its vigilance.

We’ll get to the bottom of this, and also make it clear to Supervisor Cantwell that his rhetoric of openness and transparency must be matched by actions.

Cheap Fix Dear Editor, This is a letter urging East Hampton to please put a stop to the USDA deer culling this winter. Besides the emotional and possible safety consequences of this massacre, there is overwhelming scientific evidence that deer culls do not work long term.

While culling may seem like an easy and cheap fix to the problem of overdevelopment, habitat, and predator reduction, it is at best temporary. It is certainly needless and barbaric and insulting to our intelligence as humans sharing this earth with other living creatures. There is no scientific evidence that culling in this manner is effective.

Our community is highly visible to the rest of the world. We have a responsibility to show that East Hampton is compassionate and committed to preserving our way of life through progressive means, not brutal caveman tactics.

There are many studies showing that extreme and sudden reductions in deer populations simply invite more fertility in the remaining deer.

Successful deer population control has been demonstrated on Fire Island in a large scale: immuno-contraception.

In the case of Lyme disease, it also appears that culling deer does not affect the number of cases, as the “deer” tick is a multi host parasite and will simply find another of the 40 species it prefers, mice and small rodents being the most infectious to humans.

(Sources: Localized Deer Absence Leads to Tick Amplification, Ecology, 87(8), 2006, pp. 1981–1986, by S. Perkins, I. Cattadori, V. Tagliapietra, A. Rizzoli, and P. Hudson.

Incomparable natural beauty is what draws people to our area. Wildlife is part of that beauty. Deer are part of that beauty.

Shooting animals point blank in a gory horror show is not. Property damage to expensive landscaping can be reduced by using natural deterrents, such as capsaisin and peppermint oil and using plants that deer normally don’t eat. Of course, nothing is 100 percent effective but there is no way to absolutely control natural surroundings.

Why would you want to?

As the smarter animal in this situation we must find a better way to control the deer population. East Hampton’s own study found that the deer population has sharply declined since 2006. We need to reconsider the deer culling in our area and find a better way that works for all living things.

CARMEN ADRIANA MANTIONE

Help Homeless Animals Dear Editor, The Westminster Kennel Club dog show’s allowance of mutts in its agility competition is a step in the right direction, but it doesn’t negate the show’s contribution to the animal homelessness crisis that results in the deaths of many mutts (and purebreds) in shelters (AP).

Every time someone buys a dog from a breeder (as Westminster encourages viewers to do), a pup waiting in a shelter loses his or her chance at a loving home.

Many of the puppies breeders produce in hopes of winning show titles go on to have litters of their own, bringing even more dogs into a world that doesn’t have enough homes for those who already exist.

As long as dogs are dying from a lack of homes, there is no excuse for breeding more. I urge caring people to save lives by adopting their animal companions from shelters and having them spayed or neutered, instead of buying them from breeders or pet shops.

run as best as they’re able, and the sharpshooters are bound to maim and grievously wound these moving targets who then will have to wait in unbearable pain to be finished off, execution style.

If they are lucky, and don’t bleed to death first. Then the idea is to truck these bloodied animals to feed the hungry for many meals. The only trouble with that is you would need, I guess, several available meat inspectors to be sure that these animals are fit for consumption and there aren’t enough FDA inspectors to inspect our regular meat supply as it is. Unless we don’t care if the meat is inspected for the poor.

Another issue is dressing the dead deer, butchering them and freezing them.

Do all these poor outlets have freezers?

How will the meat keep? And don’t you have to remove innards of deer shortly after the kill or the meat spoils? Where are you going to keep all these frozen carcasses? Has anybody worked this out?

Or perhaps there’s the possibility that

January 29, 2014

these once beautiful creatures will just be loaded on trucks and dumped into mass grave somewhere that nobody mentions.

How barbaric have we become?

Of course there is another, and possibly saner way to reduce the deer population which is to give the immunocontraception plan a real try, a real way to reduce the herd forever, if , in fact, there are areas of overabundance. Sounds like a plan. It has worked in other communities including Fire Island. East Hampton has the money earmarked for deer reduction and it could be achieved with birth control instead of bullets. This biting cold weather will already take its toll on the deer.

It also wouldn’t hurt to take the time for a recount to resolve the wild discrepancy of deer numbers currently bandied about .

We really need to call off this kill and rethink our humanity, our ingenuity and ability to solve a problem without blowing our deer population off the face of the earth.

How Barbaric?

To The Editor, Let’s talk seriously about the upcoming scheduled deer massacre in East Hampton.

As I understand it, the idea is to lure hungry deer into an enclosed feeding area at night where black suited expert riflemen with silencers will be waiting in and behind trees to pick them off.

The only trouble is that after the first deer is shot, the others will try to

Aiming To Manage Deer

Assemblyman Fred Thiele reports this week that the Governor Andrew Cuomo has included language in his proposed 2014 State Budget that would reduce the setbacks from structures, for hunting deer with bow and arrow, from 500 feet to 150 feet.

If adopted, the move would increase the areas available for deer hunting on the East End. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s State Deer Management Plan recommends the smaller setback, which is consistent with the setbacks for bow and arrow hunting in most adjoining states. At the request of local government officials on the East End, the assemblyman introduced an identical proposal in 2013.

“Deer management has been a major issue on eastern Long Island, where deer populations have skyrocketed, creating ecological, health, and safety issues. The DEC, in its state management plan, has made recommendations to reduce the herd by increased hunting opportunities, but these measures have not been adopted by the State Legislature. As a result, farmers and local governments have been forced to look at more drastic management measures. The setback reduction, if enacted as part of the State Budget, will provide a major tool that will permit the hunting community to play a greater role in reducing the deer herd,” said Thiele.

“There are other management tools that still need to be implemented, both lethal and non-lethal, but the enactment of this proposal would be a good first step in reducing the number of deer on eastern Long Island,” he concluded.

OBITUARY George Ivan Hadjipopov aka ‘Bulgarian George’ passed away last Thursday at the age of 70. A memorial service will be held Saturday beginning at 2 PM at Yardley Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton.

We have all been touched by the ASPCA commercials depicting abused, neglected, and abandoned pets. “Knox” is just one of many similar sad stories. When he was rescued, the shelter did not know what breed he was. He had to be sedated to shave away the hair that was matted around his tiny body.

Beneath it all was a little black poodle mix, about five to eight years young and only 13 pounds.

He bonded with Tom, one of the volunteers who visits regularly.

Knox will jump for joy like a circus dog when visited, go for walks, and cuddle on Tom’s lap.

However, Knox guards his food and possessions and will need an experienced foster or adoption home. If you would like to help this special boy on his road to a better life, call 631-728-3524 or visit www.rsvpinc.org for more info.

Supervisor ‘Resigned’ To Deer Cull

By Rick Murphy

Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell said he is “resigned” to a proposed East End-wide deer cull, but only after exploring every other option.

“We formed a deer management committee eight years ago,” he related. “We’ve been exploring options for eight years.”

In conjunction with Cornell Cooperative and other experts, the town looked at contraception, fertilization, and assorted hunting options. “Contraception just isn’t a feasible option,” Russell said, “and fertilization would cost several thousand dollars per deer.”

Immunocontraception vaccinates a deer and prevents reproduction. The method is called fertilization.

Russell said over the years several deer forums were held to discuss ways to limit the deer population in Southold, which by all accounts has gotten out of control. In addition to targeting farms, the deer feast on nursery stock and continue to thrive and multiply.

“We have environmental groups that are in favor of the cull because

Winter’s Fatal Wrath East Hampton Town Police are investigating the deaths of two local senior citizens that may be related to last week’s harsh weather. On Wednesday morning, a snowplow contractor found the body of Ralph E. Batalla, 84, in the yard just outside the front door of his Locust Drive home.

Preliminary investigation indicates the victim may have suffered a medical event in the yard during the prior evening. “The death at this time does not appear suspicious, and no foul play is suspected,” cops said.

On Thursday morning, a home health aid contacted EHTPD when she arrived at a residence on Hands Creek Road and couldn’t find 67-year-old Catherine Dransfield,

of the damage being done to our preserves,” Russell said, adding the town has done “our due diligence,” including encouraging local farmers to take out nuisance permits.

“We have limited lands that we own. We can’t make private landowners participate. It’s difficult for them to find hunters.”

As is the case all over the East End, the deer population has increased markedly. The hard winters that used to reduce the stocks are fewer and farther between, for one thing.

Plus, Russell, said, “Deer thrive in fringe environments on bushes and ornamental trees.”

The USDA has proposed a cull wherein sharpshooters would be brought in to take out thousands of deer on the East End. However, opposition groups have mounted a spirited attack – filing a lawsuit and gathering thousands of signatures on petitions.

“I am certainly not enthusiastic about the cull. Our contribution into this is only $25,000,” Russell said. “We’re in the process of doing a SEQRA review. But we have to get a handle on this.” who lives in the home with her elderly mother.

Responding officers discovered the woman’s snow-covered body outdoors near the garage. Police said the death did not appear suspicious in nature and that the investigation is continuing.

Steel Stolen She might as well have gone for a Blue Moon. A Hampton Bays woman was charged with petit larceny last Friday. She’s suspected of taking a 24-ounce can of Steel Reserve from the 7-Eleven in Montauk and leaving the store without paying. The woman bypassed the coffee section and chose a blueberry bouquet for an 8 AM breakfast. Yum. Also suffering light fingers and stuffed pockets was a Springs woman arrested on January 14. Cops say she concealed four shirts in her person before leaving the Montauk Marine Basin without paying earlier this month. She was also booked for petit larceny. The Fashion Police are looking for her, too.

Lamison Explodes For 50

By Rick Murphy

American and then coach at Wagner College. By the way, Hopson did it all on a sore ankle — he wasn’t even going to play that night.

More than two decades later Josh Lamison, a sophomore playing his third year on varsity, channeled Hopson and then some. Lamison

By George Aman

Play Bridge A hand very similar to this one was played recently at the Water Mill Bridge Club. It is an excellent example of the need for declarer to not play any card until he has come up with a plan to make his contract.

While the small slam was somewhat ambitious, it was not unreasonable.

South used cue bidding to establish that his side held three aces and second round control in diamonds.

When West led the ace of diamonds, many declarers played the 4 from dummy and the 2 from his hand. Next came another diamond from West which declarer won with the queen. Now he thought about his plan to make 12 tricks. He noted that he needed the finesse in spades to work. However, even if the finesse worked, he still held a losing small club.

South tried the finesse in spades after drawing three rounds of trumps. He could trump a third spade after winning the ace and queen but had no entry to play a fourth spade on which he could discard his 4 of clubs. Only then did he realize that he could have used the jack of diamonds as an extra way to get to dummy to play dummy’s fourth spade.

His play on the very first trick doomed the slam contract. When West leads the ace of diamonds, South must play either the king or queen so that he can lead the 2 of diamonds to dummy’s jack.

Any questions or comments can be sent to gaman13927@aol.com.

exploded for 50 points as the Bees upended Class D rival Smithtown Christian on the loser’s court Friday, putting the Bees in the catbird seat for a berth in the New York State Class D tournament.

The stunned home crowd watched almost silently as Lamison carved up their team, particularly in the fourth quarter, when the Bees busted open a tight game en route to an 84-72 victory. Lamison scored ALL of Bridgehampton’s fourth quarter points. Other players have probably done that, but it is believed none have tallied this many: 22.

Lamison is generously listed at six-foot, one-inch, but he plays a big man’s game. He is a ferocious rebounder, reminiscent of his uncle, J.P. Harding; he grabbed 18 boards on the night. But the

youngster’s game is evolving. He took over at point guard after Tylik Furman (21 points) fouled out in the third quarter, and Lamison’s barrage intensified – he had 32 points in the second half.

The loss probably cost Smithtown Christian a shot at the county and state tournament. The team is 4-7 in League VIII action and would likely have to finish 7-7 to get the call.

The Bees (5-6) have won five of seven, with four straight against Class D schools, including a 60-41 pasting of Shelter Island on January 7. Those two teams will likely duke it out in the county tournament and for a berth in the state tournament.

As for Lamison, he is positively on fire – he torched Ross School for 33 back on January 16 and is averaging 28 points a game this month.

Teams Making Playoff Push

By Rick Murphy

The Westhampton Hurricanes are digging down deep to make sure they will still be playing hoops a couple weeks from now.

Saturday the team traveled to Rocky Point and came away with a convincing 59-40 victory, giving the locals a foot up in the Class A playoff picture.

Credit Devonte Dixon, who controlled the game with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Teammate Mike Frangeskos chipped in with 14 points and Luke Dyer dished off for five baskets.

The Hurricanes moved to 5-4 in League V, good for a second place tie.

Pencil Shelter Island in to the Big Dance. The Indians won twice, besting Greenport Thursday and Knox School the following day.

Nathan Mandy had 17 points and Matt Beltcappellino 10 as the Indians, playing at home, took down the Porters 52-44 despite 21 points from Gavin Dibble.

Shelter Island emptied the bench early, taking out Knox 70-24. Tristen Wisseman led all scorers with 21, John Surges tallied 12 and Riley Willumsen notched 10.

The Indians moved to 6-5 in League VIII and will likely get a berth

in the county tournament and a shot at the New York State Class D tournament.

It’s not gonna happen for Riverhead this season. The usually powerful Blue Waves are having a nightmarish season, and Friday’s 74-53 loss at North Babylon was just another nail in the coffin. Tyrese Kerr scored 17 for the losers, who fell to 3-7 in League III. Riverhead beat Newfield Thursday 48-46. Kerr scored 12 and Charles Manning added 10.

East Hampton will need to win out to get in. The Bonackers fell to Glenn 60-50 at home Friday to fall to 3-6 in League VI. Pierson just keeps rolling. The Whalers readied for the playoffs by taking care of Smithtown Christian on the losers’ court Thursday, 68-46.

Ian Barret exploded for a season high 23 points and Forrest Loesch did likewise. Rob Evjen had 13 points and snared 13 rebounds.

On the girls’ side of the ledger, Hampton Bays is having a dream season. The Baywomen are 13-2 overall and 6-1 in League VII after annihilating Wyandanch 73-13 Thursday. Ten players scored for Hampton Bays led by Mackenzie Tyler and Alex Fotopoulos, each of

whom tallied 14. Mary Kelly Hilton scored 24. Fotopoulos also grabbed 14 boards.

“These numbers are off the charts,” said Bill Smith, who runs Mildew Busters. In Holden’s apartment, number 29, the counts of penicillium/Aspergillus spores were pegged at 720,800 per cubic meter. “These building are full of it, and these people are getting really sick,” Smith said. “They are trapped.

It’s in the wiring, the heating system, the walls, everywhere,” he guessed.

“These aren’t the bad kinds of mold,” Ruhle said. “They were caused by mildew. It’s not Black Mold.”

The tenants elected Holden to be the tenant representative, but said Windmill didn’t recognize her standing and wanted to appoint a tenant’s rep of their choosing.

bono. “The tenants can organize and choose anyone they want to represent them,” he said. Horn said he felt the Windmill managers, “deliberately scared the tenants.”

Though several said they were afraid of being evicted, Gerry Mooney, the co-manager of the facility, a paid position, said. “Only one tenant has been dispossess in 21 years. We’re in the housing business.”

DiSario said, “More than one person” wanted to be tenant rep and that although Holden wasn’t allowed to speak at one meeting, she was given free rein at two others.

“We had two meetings where the tenants could speak about whatever they wanted,” said Mooney. “There are a lot of strong personalities. We were trying to get the flavor of the whole.” Ruhle said he “regretted’ the way the Holden matter was handled. But residents said Holden was a near unanimous choice.

DiSario said the board and staff are working aggressively to clean up the problem for good. He said water leaks contaminated some of the sheetrock on the basement ceiling, but that damaged parts have been removed. “When we take the sheetrock down there won’t be any mold left.”

Ruhle said the long-term goal is to put sprinkler systems in all the buildings. “The sprinklers will allow the basements to again be used for storage by the tenants of things like clothes, furniture and papers that are flammable.”

Aspergillus and Penicillium are the same size and shape, so these are often reported as Penicillium/ Aspergillus. High levels can cause lung infections in people with weakened immune systems and exacerbate a number of existing symptoms, though healthy individuals might not be adversely affected in the short term.

According to the American Thoracic Society Aspergillosis is an infection caused by Aspergillus and is now the leading cause of death due to invasive fungal infections in the United States among people with weakened immune systems.
