CONFESSIONS OF A CLUMSY OAF This is a column that I wrote many years ago. Let me state right now that every word you are about to read is true. This happened exactly as I described it. I am an oaf. Many years ago my mom tried to explain my clumsiness to a friend by saying, “Jerry is a good boy, but his hands don’t work.” I’m telling you this to explain my actions on a flight from San Diego to Newark. I was in terrible pain. A few months earlier, a horrible oral surgeon attempted to hammer four implants into my mouth. He batted .500. One of the implants hit a nerve and severed it. As a result, I lost all feeling on the lower right side of my lip and jaw for the rest of my life. Another implant caused an infection. I switched doctors and a wonderful oral surgeon told me he was going to have to take out the infected implant the minute I returned from a business trip to
San Diego. So there I was, stumbling onto my plane. It was 8 in the morning, and I was completely stoned on painkillers and Valium, which my doctor had prescribed. I was also half asleep because I hadn’t been able to get a moment’s rest since the ordeal started a few months before. Carrying a heavy brown shoulder bag that contained most of my worldly possessions, I made my way down the aisle. I also had my black computer bag (which weighed a ton), and I had one of those black canvas pieces of luggage on wheels, which travel a straight line like a drunk with 12 vodkas in him. I also had a Starbuck’s coffee, a bag with three magazines, a San Diego Padres baseball cap for my son J.T., and a San Diego T-shirt for my daughter Jessie. Then I saw him. He was sitting in seat 4B on the aisle. I was headed for seat 4A by the window. So help

me, he weighed 350 pounds. The minute I saw him, I knew the only reason he was sitting in first class was because he couldn’t fit into a smaller coach seat unless someone used Crisco to grease up his sides. We locked eyes. My eyes said, “Please get up so I can get settled in.” His eyes said, “Fat chance.” He just sat there and watched me struggling with my luggage. The aisle was crowded. People were pushing past me. It was hot. I was sweating bullets. “Excuse me, sir,” I said. “I just want to get my computer onto my seat.” He didn’t say anything. He just nodded and kept reading The Wall Street Journal. So I swung my case toward the window seat and SPLAT! I hit the fat guy right in the head with the side of my computer case. I was horrified. “I’m so, so sorry,” I said. “Are you okay?” He sat there glaring at me, rubbing the side of his head. “Are you all right?” I persisted. “It’s all right. It’s all right,” he mumbled, as he rubbed his head with his left hand. “I’m soooo, sooooo sorry,” I repeated. “It’s all right” he said. “A A A H H H H H H H ! ! ! Y O U ’ R E BURNING ME!!!” “What?” I asked. “BURNINGGG MEEEEEE!!!” he screamed. I looked down and saw I had tilted the cup of scalding hot Starbuck’s coffee and it was splashing on his beefy right arm. “Oh,” I said, flustered. “I’m so . . . so . . . sorry.” “All right,” he said. “I’m getting up,” and he painfully and slowly

pushed himself out of the chair. As I was trying to stuff my leather bag into the overhead bin, I heard him say, “Be careful! You’re going to ruin my jacket.” I forced the bag into the overcrowded overhead and slammed the door shut. “OPEN IT! OPEN ITTTTTT!” I heard from my right. I turned to see the fat guy had three of his fingers stuck in the overhead. I had slammed the door on his fingers. The flight attendants were very nice and they put Band-Aids on his two bleeding fingers with a flourish and a big smile. The third finger wasn’t bleeding much, but it looked pretty bruised. I sat in my seat, miserable, as all the other passengers were giggling at the scene. When the fat man finally sat down and glared at me, I said, “I know you must think I’m the passenger from hell, but I promise you I’m going to sit here and not say a word until we land in Newark. And again – I’m really, really sorry.” He just glared. About an hour out of Newark, I asked the flight attendant for a Diet Coke. Before she brought it, the last painkiller kicked in and I fell sound asleep. I must have had a dream or a nightmare. I remember flailing my arms out and hearing a voice saying, “Oh God! Oh God!” For a second, I thought I was having some sort of religious dream. But the voice screaming “Oh God!” was not my voice. It sounded a lot like the voice of the Fat Man. When I opened my eyes I saw that in flailing my arms around in my sleep I had hit the glass of Diet Coke. You guessed it: the glass, the ice, the Diet Coke had all landed in the Fat Man’s lap. Do you remember when you were in grade school and something funny happened and you couldn’t let the teacher see you laughing so you covered your mouth and made snorting sounds to suppress the laughter? That’s what I did. For the rest of the flight, I turned my head to the window and made these weird snorting sounds. When the plane landed, my overweight seatmate jumped up and headed for the door, pushing people out of his way. He moved with incredible speed. As I looked at his hulking, fleeing body, I thought to myself, “He didn’t even say goodbye.” If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Striving To bEAT Eating Disorders By Kitty Merrill
Society is in the grips of opposing obsessions. Turn on the TV and find innumerable programs focused on food. Call up social media and find the contradicting pressure to rock a perfect, slender body. We’re obsessed with food and, at the same time, obsessed with being skinny. Emma Sloan fell prey to the dueling obsessions and, as the 16 year old walks – and runs--- around the tight knit Westhampton Beach community, she’s learned that just about everyone is suffering. Everybody she meets is either grappling with anorexia, bulimia, or body dysmorphic disorder, or knows someone who is. It’s rampant among her fellow classmates.
For Emma, the turning point came when a friend disclosed that she was dabbling in bulimia – trying to vomit after she ate in order to stay thin. “I said, ‘That’s it,’” Emma recalled during a recent interview. A born researcher, Sloan went online, found the National Eating Disorders Association, and decided to take action. This Friday night at the Westhampton Beach, she’s hosting the bEAT it Fundraiser to foster awareness and prevention of eating disorders, as well as raise money for the NEDA. Emma believes bringing the issue out of the shadows is key. “It’s more common than people think,” she said. For her, the journey began in
middle school. Overweight, she was teased about being fat and began exercising to lose weight. She’d run to the beach eight miles from her home and quickly lost 30 pounds. Concurrently she began to restrict what she ate, sometimes taking in as few as 200 calories in a day. She became, she said, “addicted to losing weight.” Entering high school she experienced a duality. “Grade 9 was filled with great friendships, my first love, and amazing grades, it was also filled with binging, purging, restricting, and excessive exercise.” Success at school wasn’t enough to combat her negative body image. Acknowledging that eating disorders are a scary thing to talk

about, Emma described herself as “very approachable.” And as classmates observed her struggle, she opened up about it and found fellow sufferers. “People would say you’re not the only one.” And while she found information about weight loss, nutrition, and eating disorders online, Emma felt there wasn’t enough information available to students in her school. In a press release announcing the fundraiser, she wrote, “Now, as a 16 year old, I see how intense this issue is; I see how much attention it needs, and as I’m still trying to help myself, I want to help others who are like me.” Friday night’s event will feature someone like Emma. Alongside nutritionist Sondra Kronberg, Executive Director of the Eating Disorder Treatment Collaborative/ FEED programs will be an eating disorder sufferer to describe the recovery process. bEAT it will also boast a Chinese auction featuring donations from “every single shop on Main Street,” Emma informed. “This town is really giving.” All proceeds from the event will benefit NEDA. The teen doesn’t plan to stop after Friday night. She’d like to organize a 5K and expand the message to other schools on the East End. A member of the Southampton Youth Board, she’s already discussed ideas for outreach with fellow members and the response? “They think it’s great.” Emma also hopes to form a club devoted to nutrition and healthy approaches to fitness at the school. She wrote, “I want to be available to my classmates and fellow students as a support system because I know what it feels like to feel like there is no one to talk to. I want to be not only an inspiration to my community, but the eye opener to the people who think these issues don’t exist in my small town. While in the past I tended to focus on food, calories, and my body image, I’ve now been able to turn my experience into something more positive.”

Events on the national scene this week surely have even the most relaxed among us feeling stressed and looking for ways to soothe and comfort jangled nerves. Ever take a forest bath? This Sunday at noon the South Fork Natural History Museum welcomes Zen Sensei Dorothy Daien Friedman, Monk Linda Shoju Coleman, and Kogen Tina Curran from the Ocean Zendo. They’ll introduce Shinrin-yoku, a term that means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or “forest bathing.” Developed in Japan during the 1980s, forest bathing has become a cornerstone of physiological and psychological preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Meet at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the South Fork’s Meeting House, 977 Bridgehampton Turnpike, then make your way into the woods and soak in the sights, smells, and sounds of this natural setting to experience the benefits of Shinrin-yoku. Quoted in The Washington Post, Shinrin Yoku Los Angeles founder Ben Page said, “ . . . whereas a nature walk’s objective is to provide informational content, and a hike’s is to reach a destination, a Shinrinyoku walk’s objective is to give participants an opportunity to slow down, appreciate things that can only be seen or heard when one is moving slowly, and take a break from the stress of their daily lives.” No rubber duckies, backscrubbers, or bubbles needed for this relaxing experience. Advanced reservations are required, however. For more info, reservations, and directions to meeting places, call 631-537-9735. Admission is free for SoFo members; for non-members it’s $10 per adult, $7.50 per child. Sunday night, there’s another chance to relax and get more Zen on as the Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt and SoFo present a Full Hunter’s Moon Hike with the beautiful sounds of Crystal Singing Bowls. Native Americans named this bright moon for obvious reasons. The leaves are falling from trees, the deer are fattened, and it’s time to begin storing up meat for the long winter ahead. Because the fields were traditionally harvested in late September or early October, hunters could easily see fox and other animals that come out to eat the fallen grains.

Zeldin Leads Throne-Holst In Poll four times in the last decade during her stints as Southampton Town Supervisor and councilwoman. Perhaps more surprising and an indication of the Republican strength in the First Congressional District is that Presidential candidate Donald Trump holds a three-point lead over his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. The poll was conducted before the release of a tape wherein Trump made sexist remarks about women. Voters were asked to comment on a number of topical questions. By a 72-22 percent margin those responding said they were concerned about climate change. Voters favored giving illegal immigrants

Congressman Lee Zeldin holds a commanding lead over his Democratic challenger Anna ThroneHolst according to a Sienna College Poll released earlier this week. Zeldin, a Republican, who soundly defeated six-term incumbent Tim Bishop two years ago, continues to exhibit strong support across a wide range of would-be voters, according to the poll. Zeldin garnered the support of 84 percent of Republicans who took the poll and had a 17-point lead over Throne-Holst among independents; Throne-Holst ran as the Independence Party candidate

Respondents support repealing Obamacare (55-43 percent) but are evenly divided on whether they consider themselves gun control supporters (49 percent) rather than 2nd Amendment supporters(48 percent) and on whether the federal government should increase or lessen its role to stimulate the economy (47-47 percent). In the race for President, Trump outpolled Clinton 43-40 percent, while Chuck Schumer has a 56-36 percent lead over Wendy Long in the race for United States Senate. “Zeldin leads by 18 points in Brookhaven and 13 points in the

Eastern towns as he heads into the final month of the campaign with a 15-point lead seeking his first re-election in this district that tilts Republican,” said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg. “While there is a gender gap – Zeldin leads Throne-Holst by 27 points with men and five points with women – it’s not nearly enough to make the race closer,” Greenberg said. “In fact, while Throne-Holst is down by five points with women, Clinton beats Trump by 13 points with women.” “Throne-Holst remains largely unknown to two-fifths of voters and has a seven-point positive favorability rating among those who do have an opinion about her,” Greenberg said. “Zeldin is far better known and his favorability rating is 16 points to the positive side,” he added. The poll/survey was conducted from September 28 to October 4, by telephone calls in English to 661 likely First Congressional District voters. This poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.8 percentage points. Calls were made to a stratified weighted sample of voters from voter lists via both land and cell phones. A likely-to-vote probability was computed for each respondent based on their stated likelihood to vote and interest in the upcoming election as well as by virtue of the imputation of a turnout probability score based on past voting behavior applied to their specific voting history. However, the Sienna poll is by no means infallible. Four years ago it forecast a double-digit victory for Bishop over Randy Altschuler just days before Election Day. The election proved to be the closest in Suffolk County history and took more than a month to finalize.

Just how successfully he’s juggled the two is apparent in “The Golden Age Of Sail,” a photographic exhibition by Gifford, which will open in Bristol, Rhode Island Friday, fittingly, in the shadow of the Herreshoff Marine Museum, one of the nation’s most important historic maritime treasures. “I remember my father (Ed Senior) photographing with his Exacta, which he brought home in a duffel bag after World War II.” Gifford related. “I realized his pictures spoke beautifully, to a time and a place in a way that isn’t done too often nowadays. He was my first photographic hero.“ The family lived in Manhattan when they weren’t summering in Amagansett. “We were neighbors with this

exotic couple named Tim Fales and Josephine Premise. He had a book of photographs by Stanley and Morris Rosenfeld, my first exposure to both sailing and photography.” The youngster was hooked. “They were mind blowing images of men at sea from The Golden Age of Sailing and I kind of knew after seeing those pictures that I wanted to be a sailing photographer.” In fact, as soon as Gifford was old enough to hitchhike he made his way to Newport, Rhode Island to photograph the America’s Cup.
New Exhibit “Most of the subjects for my upcoming exhibit, are in The Story of American Yachting, so it seems that I have come full circle since my first exposure to those photographs almost 50 years ago,” Gifford related. Gifford’s parents, recognizing his talent and resolve, encouraged him to study the art of photography.

Jackie Onassis was at the opening because Cornell Capa was one of the Kennedy’s favorite photographers.” Soon, Gifford was rubbing elbows with some of the top photographers in the country. “Cornell Capa questioned me

about my photographic interests and later got my mother to sign me up for a class in black and white photography and darkroom procedure, in the newly minted ICP darkroom in the labyrinth that was the basement of the Audubon mansion. I met all the great photographers, who lectured and exhibited at ICP including Gordon Parks, Alfred Eisenstadt, Henri Cartier- Bresson, Bruce Davidson, and W. Eugene Smith.”
Natural Progression The natural progression was to turn his passion into a career in photography. “My mother knew Thomas Monaster from the Daily News, and managed to convince him that her son had the right stuff to make it as a press photographer. So off I went one Saturday morning with Monaster to stake out former President Richard Nixon, which was now his regular beat.” Gifford vividly remembers tagging along. “I liked the idea of any job where you could get paid to hang out, drink coffee, eat donuts, and mingle with the high and mighty, and the not so high and mighty,” Gifford said with a laugh. “Up to that point, I thought only cops got paid to drink coffee and eat donuts!” Gifford and newspapers proved to be a natural, enduring fit. He contributed to the East Hampton Star for years and has been a contributor to The Independent for 23. His work has appeared in the New York Times, The Washington Post, The New York Post, Newsday and many other publications as well. Of course, Gifford’s land-based gigs are often superseded by long stints on the open sea. He’s logged over 50,000 miles and done five transAtlantic crossings. “I started sailing because it was a way to see the world and the challenge of being on the ocean,” he said. “You get a different perspective Continued on Page 47.

Each month, the dedicated rescue swimmers train for any emergency that might occur around the waters of East Hampton Town. At 3:30 PM, rescue squads responded to the call of a swimmer in distress at Atlantic Beach. As the rig was getting ready to be launched, a second call was toned out for a second swimmer in distress at Emergency Beach Access 8-A in the Beach Lane Association in Amagansett. A second rig headed down to make that rescue.

When the victim refused to exit the vehicle the hijacker pulled out a baseball bat, got out of the car, and began hitting the car. The owner ran from the car to the 7-Eleven. Police eventually found the Honda, heavily damaged including a broken windshield and driver’s side window. There was no sign of the bat swinging bandito.

Southampton Golf Club On Board By Rick Murphy
The aerial view of the four golf courses, lined up side by side on some of the most expensive acreage on earth is breathtaking. Southampton, Shinnecock Hills, Sebonac and National Golf courses are among the world’s most elite, and they coexist nicely. At least that will be the case if the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club gets its way and builds a new road on its course next to Southampton Golf Club. Shinnecock wants to close a section of Tuckahoe Road measuring about seven-tenths of a mile, a public road that runs through its course. To do so, it wants to build another road about 800-feet east that would intersect St. Andrews Road at County Road 39 and run northward where it
chimed in on the issue. Bob Joyce, the former longtime golf pro at the club and a nationally ranked player on the Senior PGA Tour, also expressed his support for the closure of Tuckahoe Road at a Southampton Town Board public hearing earlier this year. Craig Ruhling, the general manager of Southampton, did not return calls by press time.
would reconnect to Tuckahoe Road near Terrace Drive. The proposed road already exists, at least on a map from the town’s comprehensive plan, although it has never been opened. It is in a wooded area that runs between the 6th hole on the Southampton Golf course and the 12th on Shinnecock Hills and labeled Montrose Road. “ We ’ r e g o i n g a l o n g w i t h anything they want to do,” said James Choinski, the course superintendent of Southampton Golf Club. “Most of the wooded area is on their property,” he said. Choinski said it was his understanding there would still be a woodland buffer in place if the road were open. Southampton, he noted, is a private club and he was unsure if the membership had
Fire Prevention It was National Fire Prevention Week last week. This year’s theme was “Don’t Wait Check The Date.” Please review these very important tips. Smoke alarms can act as a warning to get out of a building when a fire occurs, but they are only effective when working properly. Every home should be equipped with smoke alarms that are installed correctly and tested regularly. Make sure that your smoke alarms are properly installed, connected, and working. Three of five homes where fire related fatalities occur are in homes without a working smoke detector. Replace the batteries in your smoke alarm once a year, or as soon as the alarm “chirps” warning that the battery is low. Hint: Schedule battery replacements for the same day you change your clocks from daylight savings time to standard time in the fall. Smoke alarms don’t last forever. Replace yours once every 10 years. If you can’t remember how old the alarm is, then it’s probably time for a new one. R.M.

Obamacare On Critical List By Rick Murphy
The Affordable Care Act – Obamacare - has taken a turn for the worse. In fact, many industry pundits are now predicting the beleaguered ACA may succumb to natural causes, regardless of who wins the presidential election. The latest downturn follows public statements by former President Bill Clinton, highly critical of Obamacare, which Hillary Clinton has steadfastly supported through the presidential campaign with Donald Trump. “You’ve got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. It’s the craziest thing in the world,” President Clinton said. “But there is a group of people -- mostly small business owners and employees -- who make just a little too much money to qualify for Medicaid expansion or for the tax incentives who can’t get affordable health insurance plans in a lot of places,” Clinton said. Some campaign experts think
the Clintons want to distance themselves from Obamacare because polls show it is a hotbutton issue. Clinton’s remarks followed a report in Bloomberg that premium rates are going to skyrocket in most states when the new year rolls in. “Minnesota will let the health insurers in its Obamacare market raise rates by at least 50 percent next year, after the individual market there came to the brink of collapse, the state’s Commerce Commissioner said Friday” according to Katherine Doherty in Bloomberg. Mike Rothman, who regulates the state’s insurers, is a Democrat, but he acknowledges the rates could surge as high as 67 percent above current levels. The rate hike follows increases for this year of 14 percent to 49 percent. Most other states are bracing for double-digit increases, Bloomberg reported. As Bill Clinton, pointed out, it keeps getting worse for Middle class Americans. According to a CNN report, any health care provided to consumers has to come out of pocket until the annual deductible has been met. In 2016,
the average bronze plan deductible was $5731 for individuals and $11,601 for families. Fo r a t y p i c a l 4 0 - y e a r - o l d individual in 2016, the cost of this care is $3479 in premiums plus the deductible before the first benefit could be covered – a total of $9210 out of pocket. Even if subsidies pared premiums all the way down to Barack Obama’s promised $75 per month, it would still require the consumer to spend over $6600 for anything but a basic wellness check, a service that would cost a few hundred dollars at most, before having the first benefit covered. “The situation will only get worse in 2017, as insurers use increases in deductibles to buffer the premium hikes that have already been,” according to CNN. Though the Obama administration continues to crow about the estimated 2.5 million previously uninsured Americans who have been provided health insurance many of those are no more than government handouts, either through Medicaid or government subsidies. In other words, people who don’t work literally have better health insurance than working

Americans because in many cases they pay no deductibles or out of pocket expenses. As reported in The Independent in the September 28 issue, HMOs and some states are suing the Obama administration over clauses in the ACA. This week Republican lawmakers are on the attack, hoping to prevent the administration from using an obscure fund within the Treasury Department to make massive settlements with insurers, according to Peter Sullivan and Sarah Ferris, writing for The Hill. The insurance companies are suing over a shortfall in an Obamacare program that they say is damaging their businesses. Settling the cases could help insurers deal with losses on the Obamacare marketplaces, but Republicans argue the move would be a “bailout” that would circumvent the ACA and be in violation of the law without Congressional approval. The 2017 ACA Open Enrollment period begins November 1, 2016 and runs through January 31, 2017. It couldn’t come at a worse time for the Hillary Clinton campaign – rate increases are scheduled to be revealed before enrollment begins, and Trump supporters will surely jump on the chance to highlight the large premium increases expected.

Highway Department Wants Apology By Rick Murphy
Alex Gregor, the Southampton Town Highway Superintendent, is seeking an apology from the Southampton Town Police for issuing what he says was an erroneous report. On May 18 police issued a press release authorized by Det. Sgt. Lisa Costa. According to the release, on Monday, May 12 a Speonk couple traveling northbound on Speonk-
Riverhead Road “lost visibility in a cloud of dust caused by a Southampton Town Street Sweeper.” The driver of a 2008 Hyundai, Grace Larson, “unable to see through the dust hit the sweeper in front of her,” the press release stated. Her husband Larry Larson died in the resulting collision and Grace Larson was injured. However, in a letter to Acting Chief Lawrence Schurek and Lt. James Kiernan, Gregor said at a
Department of Motor Vehicles hearing testimony revealed a different scenario – that the street sweeper did not create the cloud of dust that contributed to the crash. “As listed on the attached findings from the hearing, Grace Larson, driver of the vehicle testified that ‘an unknown large excavation vehicle also traveling northbound on Speonk-Riverhead Road, and ahead of Grace Larson’s vehicle, turned off the roadway creating a

large dust cloud blocking the view of the road ahead,’” Gregor wrote. He attached a copy of the DMV report. Gregor is requesting an apology from the police. “Obviously by the above information it was another vehicle that caused this accident and not the Highway Department’s sweeper and driver as reported on the news release,” Gregor wrote. “I feel this wrong information deserves an apology from both Detective Costa and Lt. Ralph to not only me but my driver, Christopher Collins. These ‘news releases’ should be investigated and confirmed prior to any information being released.” Det. Sgt. Costa did not return a call for comment by press time.

Winter Leagues Now Forming Jr. and Adult Clinics Private Lessons Court Time and more Inquire Within By Nicole Teitler The Bay Street Theatre & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts presents Brel by Alfredo this Saturday. Alfredo Merat is a native Spaniard who was raised in France and at the age of 15 picked up the guitar. Jacques Brel, iconic Belgian singer, songwriter, and actor who sang in French, was his inspiration. “He was way more than we know in how to write songs and create songs,” Merat explained, “In many ways, he was influential.” The guitarist described his muse as a French national treasure, and an amazing character with “an amazing story to him.” Merat has lived in Sag Harbor for 30 years and is North America’s foremost Brel interpreter. Upon traveling back to Paris in 2015, he got the idea to introduce the East End to the artist, thinking “Wouldn’t it be nice to do a tribute to who he was and some of his work?” Since then his team has been working on the show, even bringing in Alan Clayson from the UK, the only man to write an English biography about the legendary singer. Great musicians such as David Bowe, Bono, Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Olivia Newton-John, Freda Payne, and many others have been influenced by the work of the Belgian singer. “Jacques Brel was rapping in 1950. When people say ‘rap comes from the Bronx,’ no, no, no!” Merat noted, laughing. Merat will present the work of Brel in French, with a little bit of storytelling and narrative about the songs for those who don’t understand. Famous songs
include “If You Go Away,” “Seasons In The Sun,” and “My Death,” but his person favorite is “Amsterdam.” Merat is known across the East End for his Latin and jazz performances. He’s been a full time musician since 1997. His daughter, Lilian Merat,

Lighthouse Won’t Be Lit
BA BA BOOEY!
The Montauk Point Lighthouse, one of the East End’s most venerated landmarks, will be a little less festive this holiday season. The museum committee announced last week that, due to budgetary constraints, they’ll have to forego the “Light the Light” annual holiday event. The brainchild of then-Supervisor Bill Wilkinson about seven years ago, the event involved a large staff of workers stringing hundreds of lights around the historic structure. Each Thanksgiving weekend, the official lighting ceremony, replete with caroling and honoring a local community member as the formal lightswitch flipper, drew thousands of visitors. The cost to keep the Lighthouse lit for the holiday season is around $50,000. The committee is amenable to any generous benefactors willing to pay for this lighting. Any interested benefactors can contribute before November 1 in order to keep the tradition alive. The mariners’ beacon atop the Lighthouse tower will remain lit, and a top priority. The Lighthouse has warned sailors with its beacon light since 1797. Dick White, Chair of the Committee stated, “When we took over the Lighthouse in 1986 we committed ourselves to the care and maintenance of the now 220-yearold Long Island icon.” There are “significant ongoing and future costs ahead,” White explained. Repair and maintenance at the site includes not only the Lighthouse Tower and Museum but also the bluff on which it is located. The Montauk Lighthouse is not for profit and self-funding. Its upkeep relies on the donations of patrons and tourism operations. The Lighthouse can be contacted by calling 631-668-2544. A.M.

astrology & all Highlights of the week:
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement in the Jewish religion, starts this week with an air of reflection over our past year’s actions and our direction in life. The Full Moon in Aries on October 19 meets up with Uranus, the planet of unexpected awakenings and inspirations. We may feel full of beautiful dreams, but have a challenging time expressing our vision to others as Mercury in Libra opposes our purpose. Be extra careful to avoid arguments, as people can be “touchy” and we are vague. ARIES (3/20 - 4/20) Under this Full Moon in your sign, your desire to spread your wings and fly will be all you think about. If you want to achieve your dreams you must come up with a solid plan and stick to it. TAURUS (4/20 - 5/20) You just might come up with a creative solution to that problem at work. Use your famous charm to soothe over any disagreements either at work or home. Watch in whom you confide your secrets. GEMINI (5/21 - 6/21) You may want to spend enjoyable time with family and friends, but the challenges at work take up more time than expected. Don’t let anyone take advantage of your good nature and double up on those vitamins.
THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman
Joanne Wolff
CANCER (6/22 - 7/22) Love is very much on your mind this week. How to get it or how to improve your current situation. Your chances of finding it can be through work or a group activity. Listen to the secrets others confide with an open mind, but don’t share. LEO (7/23 - 8/23) Are you and your partner looking for deeper commitment? Express your desires clearly and you can reach that new level. Don’t let the off-handed remark of a co-worker rattle you. VIRGO (8/23 - 9/22) Repairs around the home require your attention. If handled properly they will save headaches in the future. Play the referee at home or work, but try not to get drawn into the conflict. LIBRA (9/22 - 10/22) Things seem to be going your way this week. Are they easy? No, but when the dust settles you will be in a much happier place. When you hear from family and friends, it puts a smile on your face. SCORPIO (10/22 - 11/21) You will be able to achieve all that you desire if you make “teamwork” your mantra this week. Although you often
www.indyeastend.com
seek privacy, now is the time to let others know how you feel. SAGITTARIUS (12/22 - 12/21) You want to get out of your rut and spread your wings in a more creative direction. Perhaps attending a concert or taking that painting class can lead you in a new direction. Children may need some TLC. CAPRICORN (12/21 - 1/21) Family matters draw your attention as everyone has something to say in a very loud way! You are able to handle it all with your practical approach to these matters. Work is actually an escape for you and you get much accomplished. AQUARIUS (1/21 - 2/19) New sources of income suddenly become

apparent to you if you are willing to pursue them. You will be hearing from friends and distant family, which will keep you on your toes. PISCES (2/19 - 3/20) You may suddenly be surprised by the behavior of someone you know. Work out a budget and you will see your money problems vanish into thin air. Shared monies can provide some relief.

Long Island Cheese Pumpkin Dinner

one of the oldest varieties cultivated. The pumpkin is a part of Long Island tradition and culture and makes for a delicious ingredient in many meals. According to Slow Food’s website, “In the 1800s, cookbooks and farmers almanacs in the Long Island Sound frequently cited the Long Island Cheese Pumpkin as a regional favorite.” 18 Bay Restaurant, located in an 1893 vintage farmhouse on Shelter Island, is a recent recipient of Slow Food’s Snail of Approval Award. Chef-owners Elizabeth Ronzetti and Adam Kopels create memorable fare with the freshest ingredients grown and raised on the East End. For this year’s Fall Market Dinner, Chefs Ronzetti and Kopels’ menu will spotlight the Long Island Cheese Pumpkin. This year, the Long Island Regional Seed Consortium launched The Long Island Cheese Pumpkin Project as an effort to raise awareness of this local variety. The pumpkin has been slowly disappearing from commercial seed catalogs since the 1970s and is currently listed among the 200 foods in Slow Food USA’s “Ark of Taste.” Slow Food East End is proud to be an ambassador of the Long Island Cheese Pumpkin by helping to save this indigenous species.

Chicken Fritters & Sweet Potato Cake With Peanut Sauce Ingredients (serves 4) 1 lb chicken tenderloins 2 rice cakes (ground in the food processor) 2 pieces whole wheat toast (ground in the food processor) 1/4 c flour 1 egg 1/2 c olive oil 2 tbs butter 3 sweet potatoes (skins peeled off and flesh shaved into large ribbons) 1 tbs sugar 1/2 c peanut butter 1 tsp sesame oil 1/4 c chicken stock 1 tsp soy sauce Juice of 1 lime Arugula Method Begin by heating your oven to 350. In two large oven friendly sauté pans, evenly disperse the ribbons of sweet potato. Drizzle them in olive oil and
sprinkle with a little bit of salt and sugar. Put them in the oven and allow them to cook for twenty minutes while you bread the chicken. To bread the chicken, crack the egg in a bowl and whisk it together with 1/4 c water. Mix the course ground bread crumbs and rice crumbs together, and season to your liking with salt and black pepper. Each piece of chicken will be breaded by first dusting the chicken with the all purpose flour. After shaking off any excess flour dip the chicken in the egg wash and let any excess drip off. Coat generously with the rice and bread crumb mixture. Once you have breaded all the chicken take a look at the sweet potatoes, at this point the potatoes in the pan can be molded into a disk shape using a rubber spatula. Once you have done this, sprinkle with another dusting of sugar and return to the oven for another twenty minutes.
Meanwhile, spread the chicken strips out evenly on a sheet tray, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and put them in the oven to bake for twenty minutes with the potatoes. While this is happening you can make your peanut sauce by combining the chicken stock, peanut butter, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small sauce
pot and heat it gently over a low flame. When the chicken and potatoes are done remove them from the oven. Cut the potato cake into four to serve. Plate the chicken, potato and arugula. Squeeze the lime juice into your peanut sauce at the last minute. Drizzle the peanut sauce over the chicken and arugula. Enjoy.

RICK’S SPACE My Man Cave My Man Cave is moving. This abrupt life changing event is the result of Karen’s vicious plan to take the house we own together and, room by room, take over the entire space for herself. As I’ve previously reported, this process has been ongoing. We have three bathrooms, and I am not allowed in two of them. This is because of my long held belief that urinating is like playing darts – hitting a bullseye is good, but you get points for hitting around the edges of the bowl, too. There are five closets in the house – Karen has filled every inch of four of them. Two overflow with shoes – when the doors open, shoes fall out. Karen used to yell at the dogs when they occasionally chewed on an errant shoe. I finally learned simply to take the mangled shoe and throw it back in the closet on the theory that Karen will never actually wear it anyway. The latest atrocity I have to endure is the result of her friend Jenine visiting a few weekends back. Karen wanted to put her in my Cave, which has its own dartboard – I mean, toilet – and a walk-in closet. You can’t walk in my walk-in closet. In fact, I haven’t seen the back of it in 20 years. There are moths and spiders and a lot of baseball cards back there somewhere. Back in 1988 I decided to spend all my money on baseball cards and store them away. That’s because everyone who did that in the 1950s is rich now. Me, like an idiot, used to attach my cards to my bicycle wheel with a clothespin to make it sound like a hot rod. As it turns out, every human being on earth in 1988 had the same idea about stockpiling baseball cards, and as a result they are worthless. I stubbornly cling to the belief that they are valuable, though, so there are boxes upon boxes piled up – somewhere in the closet, back in the darkened place where humans do not tread. I suggested we put Jenine in the guest room, which is upstairs. Karen, it turns out, feels guests will be more comfortable in the downstairs room, which she insists on calling a Junior Suite even though it is a Man Cave. After years of nagging, I finally decided to upend my entire life and
relocate the cave upstairs, which is considerably smaller, thus its new name, “Man Hole.” I cleverly extracted a promise – that I will be solely in charge of decorating, with no interference. In fact, no one is allowed in the new room until the transformation is complete. Now Karen is beginning to realize the horrible mistake she made. I am not an interior decorator. I do not do chic or feng shui. I am neither tasteful nor tactful. I lean
www.indyeastend.com
towards tacky and excess. To me colors must clash to send the proper message to visitors to my Cave, which is, “Stay out!” The boxes began arriving from The Hippie Shop, The Trippy Store, The TieDyed Shop, SkullsRUs, and so on. It already reeks of incense and patchouli (Can the smell of urine be far behind?) Karen is getting really nervous on several fronts. “You know,” she said the other day, “when the whole family is here people are going to have to sleep up there.” “Do they like skulls?” I asked. “Also, there have been a dozen deliveries this week. How are we going to pay for all this crap,” she asked. First of all, I felt compelled to point out it is not crap. “Don’t worry,” I told her. “I’ll just sell of some of my vast collection of
October 12, 2016
valuable baseball cards to pay for the new stuff.” “But, you always said we didn’t need life insurance because you have baseball cards.” “There’s plenty to go around,” I replied. Frankly, I am a little annoyed that Karen questions my ability to tastefully furnish the room. After all, it was me who picked out the lava lamp for the living room and as I’ve said many times, Day Glo is never out of style. All that remains is a garish, 64inch flat screen TV I picked out at PC Richards. Oddly, they didn’t take baseball cards but luckily Karen has a charge there. “You’re not gonna sit up there like a big lug and watch sports all weekend, Mister,” she warned. Of course not. I’m going to be lying down on the waterbed.
AUTOMATIC FUEL DELIVERY* You’ll Never Run Out of Fuel Don’t worry about scheduling another delivery of heating oil or worry about being home to pay for it when it arrives. You won’t risk running out of heating oil in the middle of the winter. Choose piece of mind.

‘A Debilitating Sense’

Insight
In an August 11, 2016, submission posted on the New Yorker’s website, author Mary Karr tells the story of “a shockingly casual case of sexual assault” – a moment when she was on the receiving end of what GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump so blithely and disgustingly described in the scandalous video leaked over the weekend. Karr details her reaction to the assault and discusses others she or friends have endured, asserting, “Underlying all these actions exists the apparently unshakable tenet that any expression of male sexuality is somehow normal and every man’s right, whether or not a woman on the receiving end is repulsed or upset by it. All of us — male and female —envision all manner of erotic encounters without acting them out. “But many of my male friends brush aside the behaviors that women find truly scary, the kind we know from experience can be the prelude to a nasty or even dangerous run-in. And something in the repetition of these behaviors — and in the culture’s blindness to the insult — wires itself into your body fibres and instills a debilitating sense that you’re not quite safe walking around.” Trump’s dismissal of his disgusting statements as mere “locker room talk” sparked an avalanche of apologists and critics alike, with the latter underscoring that all men don’t speak that way. The former offered justifications and speculation that women whose paths crossed Trump’s wanted to be groped. And therein lies the “unshakeable tenet” Karr describes. And therein grows the debilitating sense that a country nurturing the rise of a racist misogynist isn’t a safe place for a growing number of its citizens – not for Hispanics, not for Muslims, not for African Americans, and not for women.

Questionable Ethics Dear Ms. Merrill, Former Southampton Supervisor, Anna Throne-Holst, who is running for Congress on the Democratic Party line, appointed former Planning and Town Board member, Steve Kenny, to the Southampton Housing Authority in 2010. This appointment provides insight into Ms. Throne-Holst’s questionable ethics. A brief review of Mr. Kenny’s creation of a PDD in East Quogue while chairing the Planning Board, provides an easy way to assess his scruples because his PDD can be

compared with an “as-of-right subdivision” just down the street. Briefly, Mr. Kenny redesigned a driveway on his PDD that has been the site of several serious accidents including a fatality whereas the as-of-right subdivision has been free of accidents. In order to accommodate increased density on his PDD, Mr. Kenny allowed the developer to enlarge a Town-owned recharge basin that overflowed. The houses in Mr. Kenny’s PDD, are clustered above the recharge basin and are mostly vacation homes. These houses were given access to public water whereas Mr. Kenny cut off public water to the yearround houses next to the overflowing basin. By comparison, the builder of the asof-right subdivision (also vacation homes) brought a water main down to the year-
Ed Gifford round houses next to that development. Mr. Kenny’s PDD increased school enrollments whereas the as-of-right subdivision did not. The as-of-right subdivision contributed tax revenue to the school whereas Mr. Kenny’s PDD did the reverse. (Loss of tax revenue was a concern raised by the Suffolk County Planning Commission that reviewed the PDD.) Mr. Kenny’s PDD reconfigured a horse
farm business next to the houses on his PDD. Oddly Mr. Kenny encumbered the farm with an unnecessary easement that allowed one of those houses to use the horse farm driveway, thus forcing the business to lose control of its driveway to a non-owner. Mr. Kenny failed to notify the neighbors that he was changing zoning which is how he got away with his badly-designed Continued on Page 46.

PDD, however, what pushes Mr. Kenny into the arena of potentially illegal conduct is his acceptance of paperwork from the developer that contained false information. (This paperwork can be obtained via a FOIL request.) When Ms. Throne-Holst was elected, I had hoped she would have taken a few minutes to review the site plans for the PDD to understand why PDDs are flawed and why some land-use board members like Mr. Kenny lack scruples. Instead, Ms. Throne-Holst spent Southampton tax dollars courting Michael Bloomberg’s millions to create a job for herself at an institute to study, of all things, septic mismanagement and poor water quality of exactly the type created by Mr. Kenny’s PDD. Because the filing of land-use submissions that contain false information can rise to the level of a civil offense, Ms. Throne-Holst’s appointment of Mr. Kenny shows a willful disregard for legality. In my opinion, she (and Mr. Kenny) should be barred from holding public office. SUSAN CERWINSKI
Antiquated Attractions Dear Editor, As a concerned citizen, I would like to bring attention to the antiquated horsedrawn carriage industry in NYC. Used as a tourist attraction, these horses are exposed to many treacherous and inhumane conditions in their congested urban settings. They have to dodge dangerous traffic, are nose-totailpipe with noxious car fumes, and are forced to work seven days a week, nine hours a day regardless of searing heat and freezing temperatures. They live their lives confined to the

shafts of a carriage and are considered nothing more than inanimate engines as they pull the weight of tourists all day, and then retire to tiny stable stalls with no access to pastures. Regulations to protect these horses too often go unmonitored or ignored. I recently witnessed a horse working
illegally in 90-degree weather — when I made the driver aware of the temperature, he just told me to shut up, openly flaunting his disregard for the safety of the horse and the regulations he is required to obey. Let this great city of ours emulate many other modern and humane cities around the world such as Paris, London, and Toronto that have already banned this archaic industry.

with such intensity that it appears as if even the viewer will get caught up in the splash. Gifford’s exhibit opens Friday at the Bristol Maritime Center, in the former Naval Armory, at 127 Thames Street in Rhode Island. Gifford’s stunning seascapes and yacht portraits capture the beauty of craft designed and built during the first half of the 20th century, known ever after as “The Golden Age of Sail.” It was a transcendent era in the history of yacht design and construction, a belle époque, when technological innovation served form and function with a superb aesthetic sensibility. Gifford has always been particularly enamored with the designs of Nathanial Herreshoff. “He is considered the greatest naval designer of all time,” Gifford said. Nathaniel Greene Herreshoff, his grandson and a 25-year America’s Cup veteran, wrote the introduction to Gifford’s exhibit. Barbara Derecktor Donoghue will be performing a work titled “Veils are Sails” during the opening night festivities. She is the daughter of Robert E. Derecktor, one of history’s greatest boat builders and builder of many America’s Cup winners. She is also Tinka Topping’s niece, from Topping Farm in Bridgehampton and founder of the Hayground
School. Donna Lange, two-time, solo been racing and delivering yachts circumnavigator will be reading from worldwide for over 35 years. the logs of her recently completed solo “You don’t have regular things circumnavigation, where she circled to ground you,” Gifford said of the globe by sexton alone with no aid spending significant time on the of electronic or computer devices. open seas. “It’s surreal.

SPOR TS Pierson: Queens Of The Court INDEPENDENT
Independent/Kitty Merrill
By Camila Tucci
Pierson’s Girls Varsity Volleyball team has been on a tear lately staying undefeated in their league with an impressive 6-0 record. They took the court on Friday to play Stony Brook (3-4) for their homecoming game. Pierson came out strong and took a commanding
lead in the first set thanks to big aces from Nia Dawson that pulled them up 22-8. The start of the second set favored Stony Brook as they aced some serves and were able to finish out long volleys. Samantha Peterson of Stony Brook came up huge throughout the game with blocks that helped Stony Brook stay in it.
But the Bears couldn’t handle Maizy Guyer’s serves. She was at the line for a good portion of the second set. An offspeed spike from Mackenzie Benbenek gave Pierson a commanding lead, and they won the second set 24-13. A spate of third set jitters set in as Pierson tried to close out the match. Stony Brook took advantage and went up 1-4 early on. Strong serving from Pierson helped them tie the game at 6-6.
Mariners Making Their Move By Rick Murphy
The Southampton boys’ soccer team is peaking at just the right time. Last Wednesday’s hard fought victory over Hampton Bays was the team’s fifth in the past six games, and secured second place in League VI with an 8-3 mark in striking distance of Elwood/Glenn (9-0-1). It wasn’t easy for the Mariners; Hampton Bays, with a 6-4-1 mark, is a playoff quality team as well. The Mariners spotted the visitors a 1-0 on a goal by Roberto Orellana but took a commanding 3-1 lead in the second half only to have it evaporate. After goals by Jamie Morocho, Sebastian Pereira, Carlos Rodriguez gave the home team a two goal bulge. Dylan Flores found the upper right hand corner with a bullet and Orellana scored again with the clock running down to force overtime. Pereira ended the suspense early trickling the ball past a diving Jon Galeas for the game winner:
the final tally was 4-3. Mt. Sinai comes to Southampton Friday evening for a 7 PM affair; The Mariners play their regular season finale at East Hampton (6-3-2) Tuesday (3:45). Hampton Bays plays at Shoreham/Wading River (2-7-1) at 4:30 PM tomorrow
and at home against Wyandanch (4-6-2) Tuesday afternoon (4:30). Mattituck is sitting pretty in girls soccer after beating Stony Brook last Wednesday, 4-2. The Lady Tuckers prevailed at Stony Brook behind the scoring of Claire Gatz, who scored three times.

Both teams rode each others’ tail throughout the set, with miscommunication an obstacle for both sides. A block and a set into the net by Stony Brook sealed the deal for Pierson who finished the exciting match with a 26-24 win. The undefeated team travels to Mercy in Riverhead this Friday at 4:30 PM. They host a nonleague tournament Saturday beginning at 9 AM. Corinne Reda added a goal. Catherine Hayes had three assists. The Lady Tuckers, 8-2 in League VII, play at Port Jefferson tomorrow at 4:30 with the league title on the line: the Lady Royals are 10-1. Mattituck plays again Saturday morning at Center Moriches at 11 AM.

As is always the case, all-American candidate Dylan Laube delivered the hurt: four more touchdowns, running his season total to 21, and 199 rushing yards, a pedestrian total for him. Westhampton amassed 40 or more points for the fourth time this season and was content to run the ball through and around the Eagles, who fell to 2-3 on the season. It was far from a one man show: in addition to Laube, Zach Arrasate had nine carries for 80 yards and two touchdowns and Liam McIntyre added 60 more rushing yards. The improving Westhampton

Anthony Strippoli had four tackles and one sack. Westhampton heads to EastportSouth Manor Saturday at 2 PM; the Sharks are 1-4 on the season. The combined team from the North Fork lost to Wyandanch 3616 Friday in Division IV action but remains in competition for a playoff berth with a 3-2 mark. Greg Suglia rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown in a losing effort. The Porters travel to Mount Sinai (2-3) Saturday; kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 PM. Perhaps the most improved East End team is Southampton/Pierson, winless last year. Suddenly the Mariners have become the team no one wants to play. Consider Mercy: the Monarchs were shelled by the locals in Southampton Saturday 36-14. AJ Napier turned in one of the best individual performances of the season, hauling the ball 34 times for 335 yards and three TDs. Saundel Crumpton rushed for 89 on only eight carries and scored twice. The Mariners, now 2-3 in Division IV, get Port Jefferson (3-2) at home Saturday afternoon at 1:30. A win will propel the team into the playoff picture. Hampton Bays also improved to 2-3 in the division by knocking off East Hampton 28-16 Saturday. Colin Smith scored twice and Josh Aube had 116 total yards and also scored. The Baymen play at Bayport/Blue Point Saturday at 1 PM.

She has provided long-term support for an array of organizations including East End Hospice, the SoFo Natural History Museum, and The Retreat. During planning for July’s Party for the Park, the Partnership’s successful fundraiser for Sag Harbor Village’s waterfront park, Gornik earned the nickname The Long Island Express, an apt comparison to the great hurricane of 1938. “Nothing can stop her,” said fellow board member Nick Gazzolo, “No one has more ideas or works harder than April does.” The Community Service Award dinner will be hosted and underwritten by Baron’s Cove on October 23.

Throne-Holst now issues forth from a Bloomberg-inspired-and-financed podium against guns and so-called “gun violence.” Earlier Throne-Holst never had a problem with guns or the violence in the town she supervised, making her, with untenable tax increases happening under her watch, the worst town supervisor on record. The only time she kept the taxes steady and the cops’ hands not tied behind their backs, was just before she decided to run for Congress. And that decision was inevitable, because there’s a new kid on the block, far more competent than she. Of all the issues this county and this country have, Throne-Holst chose to assemble a few vacant-eyed and braindead fans of hers to distort for the lowinformation voter the facts about guns and violence, with civil-and-human rights

They shoot each other in every Democrat controlled city in the nation. She alleges that people can buy guns without background checks. Not in this or any other state of the Union. Transfers of firearms require a NICS check with the FBI. In other words, legal gun buyers do get background checks and Throne-Holst’s allegation about law can only come from someone entirely ignorant of it. Illegal gun buyers don’t submit themselves to background checks. ThroneHolst should know better, but knowing better is not the point of her campaign. Deception, diversion, and corruption are. What she is doing, in fact, is the parroting of pre-arranged and deliberatelytimed talking points via DNC central. To raise funds for her campaign using a litany of lies about her opponent whom, having been a special operations paratrooper and war hero, knows everything about guns, violence AND law Throne-Holst does not. In fact, Lee Zeldin passed legislation to prevent unauthorized and criminal persons from acquiring firearms. Accordingly, Throne-Holst lied. Not just about Zeldin, about everything.

I’d aver that Throne-Holst never picked up a firearm in her life and wouldn’t know the breech from the muzzle, yet would prevent women with children home alone who do, from picking up theirs to defend themselves and their homes from rapists and murderers. Why does Throne-Holst think that women by the millions have been buying firearms under the threat of Hillary’s and Obama’s deceptions? I’ll tell you why. So they won’t have to appear at Bloomberg-financed ThroneHolst anti-gun forums as either victims, orphans, widows and/or maimed survivors of violence from guns. It is so, because these legal gun owners will have prevented gun offenders from perpetrating violence on themselves by exercising their constitutional rights - the same rights the survivors at ThroneHolst’s forum failed to exercise. Had they, they would not have attended the forums. Constitutional rights don’t have to be checked at the front door or on the street. No more than your right of free speech, assembly, religion, and the right to publish these words. The bad guys with

the guns are stopped by the good guys with the guns. In this state, opportunist Andrew Cuomo, under direction from the White House, came sprinting out of the gate the day Obama won in 2012 to pass the highly unpopular New York SAFE Act, that made New York no more safe after 2012 than it was for a half century before 2012. In other words, no child was harmed by an assault weapon (that is no more an assault weapon than a pistol is a machine gun) for three decades before 2012 - or four years AFTER 2012 to date. A net sum of ZERO! Throne-Holst’s and Hillary Clinton’s gun issue is a red herring. It is a diversion from the economy and the massive failure of the politicians who are bloviating about it. In the United States, in inverse proportion as guns were being bought by the millions for two decades and gun ownership skyrocketed, gun crime dropped precipitously to one third it was under Hillary Clinton’s husband who passed a ten year-long assault weapons ban. Don’t believe me? Check out the Department of Justice stats and the dates of the Clinton ban for yourself. ANDREW BENJAMIN
