ELECTION 2014

Independent Endorsement

For Congress: Zeldin vs. Bishop State Senator Lee Zeldin, a Republican, is challenging the six-term incumbent Democrat Tim Bishop to represent the First Congressional District.

Bishop graduated from Southampton High School and holds a BA in History from Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from Long Island University. Zeldin, a graduate of Albany Law School, became a member of the New York State Bar in January 2004 at the age of 23.

In 2006, Zeldin was deployed to Iraq with an infantry battalion of fellow paratroopers from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division. In 2007, he transitioned from active duty to the Army Reserves where he currently serves with the rank of Major.

Zeldin is by no means a perfect

candidate, and his Conservative instincts are a poor fit for the sensibilities of many New Yorkers and East Enders.

Our belief in gay marriage and women’s choice is unshakeable, and Zeldin is, in our opinion, on the wrong side of those issues. But Zeldin is not being called upon to address them: he’s being called upon to address the inequities of Obamacare, to secure our open borders, and to help reshape this nation’s foreign policy before we lose any more respect around the world.

Tim Bishop has been dodging bullets for several years.

He is now saying the FBI and Office of Congressional Ethics investigations of him were politically motivated.

The bi-partisan OCE concluded:

“There is a substantial reason to believe that a violation of House rules, standards of conduct and federal law occurred.” The House Committee on Ethics has refused to end its probe of Bishop despite the fact Bishop has poured a fortune into high priced attorneys lobbying the committee to do so.

Bishop, who often says he has nothing to hide, hid the fact he was the subject of an FBI investigation until this newspaper broke the story. The FBI did not “clear” Bishop, as he now claims; it declined to prosecute him.

Even before that, though, Bishop was labeled “One of the Most Corrupt Members Of Congress” by an impartial watchdog group.

Bishop’s record of achievements is largely a product of his everchurning public relations campaign.

Locals will recall he ran LIU Southampton into the ground, padding the college’s payroll with his family and friends while his wife ran a lucrative day care center on

campus rent-free for 20 years.

Bishop’s billionaire best friend became chancellor of the college, the same friend he did the favor that got him in trouble with the FBI. Bishop has paid his daughter a fortune to collect donations for him.

Tim Bishop is in it for Tim Bishop. He’s a phony. “The great environmentalist” was willing to stage a fireworks display near an active Piping Plover nest – for a $10 grand donation.

Yes, Lee Zeldin is on the wrong side of the gay marriage debate.

But he ser ved in Iraq, he’s a brilliant attorney, he will vote to end Obamacare and will help restore the luster of this great country that has been tarnished under Obama.

Tim Bishop has had six terms in Congress. Yes, his friends and family have benefited greatly: look around and ask yourself honestly what the rest of us have to show for it.

The Independent endorses Lee Zeldin.

ELECTION 2014

Also On The Ballot

By Kitty Merrill

Next Tuesday voters will be asked to weigh in on propositions related to county and local initiatives.

In Southampton, an effort to improve safety and traffic flow at the Riverside Circle calls for the use of a strip of land preserved through the Community Preservation Fund. The town plans to swap 7510 square feet of townowned parkland bordering the circle with a 15,286 square foot piece of county property abutting the parkland. The goal is to create a second lane within the circle at no cost to the town. (See graphic at right.)

Under CPF law, the use of a preserved parcel may be changed only if approved through voter referendum.

Two Suffolk County-related propositions are pertinent to East Enders. The first follows through on an idea conceived during former County Executive Steve Levy’s administration. It seeks voter approval to abolish the elected position of county treasurer and shift that office’s duties to the county comptroller’s office.

The ballot verbiage for “Suffolk County Proposal Number One” seeks approval for a charter law consolidating financial management functions into a new County Department of Audit and Control. It will be headed up by an elected comptroller, with the consolidation to take effect in 2018.

Supporters say the move will save county taxpayers close to $800,000 in payroll costs and streamline government operations. Opponents have noted training personnel to take over new duties could result in a bureaucratic logjam as staff navigates a learning curve.

The second county proposition asks voters to support an amendment to the quarter percent Suffolk County Drinking Water Protection Program to allow the county to use excess funds for sewer infrastructure, treatment plans and the installation of enhanced nitrogen removal septic systems throughout the county.

Created by public referendum and renewed five times, the ballot proposal that adopted the DWPP

required that any change in the use of the money required a new mandatory referendum.

The League of Women Voters of the Hamptons this week encouraged voters to check out a new online voters’ guide. Visit vote411.org for information about candidates and propositions on the ballot.

THINGS YOU CAN’T TALK TO A LIBERAL ABOUT

Global Warming.

Have you ever tried just asking a liberal a question about Global Warming?

I’m not saying a provocative question, just a simple question.

Like, for instance, you might say something like, “There’s something about Global Warming that I don’t understand.”

That’s when liberals turn red and go batshit.

“What is there to understand?” they scream. “We are all going to die.”

“The Polar ice cap is melting and it’s too late to even save us . . . You and your gas-guzzling car and your aerosol underarm deodorant that are polluting the atmosphere . . . Al Gore has said . . .”

OK, I don’t know that much about Global Warming, but when a liberal starts quoting Al Gore – and they all do by the fifth or sixth sentence in their tirade about how one should not even dare ask a question about Global Warming – that’s when I beat a hasty retreat. I usually back away saying: “I’m sorry . . . you’re so right. Al Gore is a great man. Gotta

go home now and say goodbye to my family in case the global end is near.”

That’s when the liberal who is pushing you out the door really loses it and screams, “Near . . . Near . . . There will be a catastrophic sealevel rise, extreme weather, famine and mass extinction, and all you can do is to say goodbye to your disgusting family.

“Besides, only you Republican savages still call it ‘Global Warming.’

“Those of us who love the Earth, the lambies and the duckies now call it ‘Climate Change,’ and we never question the scientists who agree with us, no matter how many times they contradict each other.”

That’s when you realize that liberals are zealots who are fine when they are talking to each other and patting each other on the back in agreement that they are wonderful people who have all the answers.

It’s when you have the nerve to ask them a question that they turn out to be as closed-minded, angry and as high-strung as the members of the Tea Party whom they hate so much.

Another thing you cannot say to liberals is “the Koch brothers.”

Mention David and Charles Koch and liberals sputter and foam at the mouth.

“Disgusting” is the nicest word they use. Why? Because the Koch brothers contribute money to Republicans. They give their money to conservative candidates. Then Democrats/liberals start to raise their voices to an angry scream and say they’re part of the Republican War on Women.

Now, for those of you don’t remember, the Republican War on Women is the most brilliant Democratic vote-getting invention of our time.

It all started when a young woman named Sandra Fluke testified in front of a Congressional committee that she didn’t want to pay for contraception. She criticized the health insurance policies of Georgetown, a Jesuit university, saying the school’s lack of contraception coverage had a harmful impact on the sex life of female students.

When Republicans contested this notion they fell into a trap and the “Republican War on Women” slogan was born. Naturally, the Koch brothers had financed the Republican War on Women.

Now, the Koch brothers giving millions to Republican candidates is seen as horrible and un-American, but when billionaire George Soros gives many millions of dollars to Democratic candidates and causes he is seen as a wonderful man.

So I have a solution that will keep Democrats reading this happy.

From now on it will be known as the Della Femina/Koch Brothers/ George Soros Solution.

I promise to never go near or enjoy any institution that has been the beneficiary of George Soros’s charity. And in return, I know my

IN THE NEWS

Democrat friends will stay away from any institution that’s received Koch brothers’ charity money.

If you’re a Democrat and you get sick, pick a hospital other than New York-Presbyterian. David Koch gave them $100 million to help build the David H. Koch Center.

Also stay out of Johns Hopkins – they got $20 million.

Ditto for Memorial SloanKettering Cancer Center and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center – they got another $100 million.

Are you a Democrat with a bad hip? Hobble to any hospital but the Hospital for Special Surgery – they got $26.2 million of David Koch’s money.

Got a kid with a peanut allergy?

Stay away from the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute. Koch gave them $10 million.

It’s not just medicine. Stay out of Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. Koch gave them $35 million.

And don’t let me catch you near the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new, completely redesigned David H. Koch Plaza, which Mr. Koch’s $65 million gift helped create.

Gifts from the David H. Koch C h a r i t a b l e Fo u n d a t i o n h a v e benefited the American Ballet Theater. In 2008, his foundation gave $100 million for the preservation and renovation of the State Theater of New York at Lincoln Center.

Now known as the David H. Koch Theater, it is home to the New York City Ballet and New York City Opera.

Good guys, those Koch brothers.

It’s Time For Waste

By Kitty Merrill

Officials and environmentalists all across the county have had waste on their minds lately. Not government waste; waste waste, as in the contents of your old cesspool.

Locally, East Hampton electeds and clean water advocates have spent hours discussing the issue of wastewater and its effect on the environment. They’ve crafted a plan, but big question marks remain – how can community members afford to upgrade aged septic systems?

As the issue continues to be debated, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, along with North Fork Legislator Al Krupski, the county departments of health, public works, and economic development and planning, have conceived an idea to assist at least a few lucky Suffolk residents.

The county has launched a lotter y and the winning 19 homeowners will receive a free advanced wastewater treatment system, including free installation, monitoring and maintenance for five years.

The pilot program is part of

Suffolk County’s Reclaim Our Water initiative, a comprehensive plan to improve the water quality in the region.

Residents are encouraged to log onto www.suffolkcountyny. gov to fill out an application.

Applications are due November 14, 2014. After a thorough screening process, a random drawing will be conducted to select the 19 qualified homeowners.

“S uf f o lk C o unty ha s mo r e than 360,000 unsewered homes, creating excess and unhealthy amounts of nitrogen in the ground due to failing,

unmaintained and excessive loadings from septic systems and cesspools,” said Bellone.

“Advanced wastewater treatment systems for homeowners are a vital part of the solution to our water quality crisis. While this is not the single solution, this is one of the initiatives we are doing to reclaim our water here in Suffolk County.”

In a release announcing the lottery, Adrienne Esposito, Executive Director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, described the program as a critical component in the fight to protect the island’s future. “Upgrading our cesspools and septic systems will allow us to begin the essential journey to restoring the quality of our drinking water supply and protecting our beaches and bays from the increasing damage caused by nitrogen from sewage,” she said.

“Understanding which wastewater systems work best on Long Island will allow us to make informed and beneficial choices when we need to replace a failing system.”

The 19 systems were donated by four national manufacturers, B U S S E G r e e n Te c h n o l o g i e s , Norweco, Orenco Systems and Hydro-Action Industries, all of which have extensive experience across the country, as well as Europe, in removing excess nitrogen from residential and commercial properties. The advanced wastewater treatment systems are valued at up to $15,000 per system.

The firms will also work with Suffolk County officials and the County’s Department of Labor, Licensing and Consumer Affairs throughout the process to develop an extensive job training program to bring more septic and wastewater-oriented employment opportunities to Suffolk County.

In addition, the initiative is designed to create a homeowner awareness program that provides residents with information on proper septic system maintenance protocols that help reduce nitrogen levels.

County experts toured septic programs conducted in other states in the Northeast. Suffolk is modeling its homeowner education effort on a successful program that has been in place in Rhode Island over the past 15 years.

Obituary

Frances Theresa Hickey

Frances Theresa Hickey, affectionately known as Terry, a well-known fixture in the East Hampton community, died of natural causes on October 22 at home. She was 66.

The only child of George Hickey and Frances Seaward, Terry was born on February 18, 1948, in Queens, NY. She attended Mary Lewis Academy, spending weekends on Shelter Island and later majoring in Art and Education at Southampton College. When she graduated in 1970, Terry moved to East Hampton full time. Ms. Hickey taught school as a substitute Art Teacher at East End schools and continued to show her creativity at every opportunity.

Terry was introduced to the Real Estate business early in life by her father and worked as a Real Estate Professional, managing properties in East Hampton and Shelter Island.

She had a natural love for animals, especially Basset Hounds, which led her to start a dog sitting business.

After health problems forced her to give that up, she enjoyed getting visits from friends and neighbors with their pets. She loved her neighborhood and has been referred to as the “Matriarch” of Maidstone Avenue.

Terry was known and loved for her candid eccentricity and was frequently spotted around town in one of her antique Grand Wagoneers.

Ms. Hickey never married and leaves no children or siblings, but made new friends easily and had found an extended family in St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, where she was prominent in its events and fundraisers. She was always involved with its social outreach programs, scheduled acolytes and lectors, helped with the Sunday School, organized and promoted a monthly Movie Night, and kept in touch with all people involved.

Ms. Hickey was also a member of

631-287TOTS 631-287-TOTS

the American Legion and helped sell tickets for events, organize poppy sales and served as an officer for a while.

www.indyeastend.com

As her friends knew, Terry had a great sense of humor and was always ready to do something fun and unexpected. She especially enjoyed her favorite holiday, Halloween. If your house doesn’t get its usual toilet paper decorations this year, you may be missing Terry.

Ready To Bag The Bags According to data from the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans use about 330 single use plastic bags each per year. Close to 100 billion bags end up in landfills, incinerators, or in local waters every year.

Last week, the mayors and supervisors of several East End towns and villages agreed to pursue a regional ban of single use plastic bags

by Earth Day 2015.

“I think everyone agrees that eliminating single-use plastic bags as a form of litter is an excellent goal, and working together to enact legislation on a regional basis provides an opportunity to achieve the greatest results and send a coordinated and non-partisan message about the measure’s environmental significance, while ensuring a level playing field for East End businesses,” said Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst.

Leaders of Southampton, East Hampton, and Riverhead towns, as well as the villages of Sag Harbor, Sagaponack, North Haven, West Hampton Dunes and Quogue agreed to hold work sessions and/or introduce the plastic bag ban legislation within the month, initiating a process that invites public feedback on the idea.

East Hampton and Southampton Villages already have bans in place.

DiPaolo will succeed Karen Rade, who will retire in December.

”Karen has been an inspiration and mentor to many library directors in Suffolk County. Her professional service will be appreciated for years to come, not just by me, but by the entire Montauk community,” DiPaolo said.

DiPaolo comes to Montauk after a very noteworthy career at the Shelter Island Public Library where she was library director for seven years. On Shelter Island, she also served as an active board member of both the Lions Club and the Chamber of Commerce.

According to the Eliman Report, prepared by Miller Samuel Real Estate Appraisers and Consultants, the average sales price was about the same as the previous quarter and about the same as a year ago.

“Listing inventory edged higher but was outpaced by rise in sales . . . luxury inventory fell sharply,” wrote Jonathan J. Miller.

There was some good news, Miller said. “In contrast to New York City, sales activity surged above year ago levels and market share of sales above $1M increased.

Nicole Smith, Certified Athletic Trainer at the ELIH Fitness Center in Southold, challenges others to take the ELIH Fitness Challenge by pledging to walk 10,000 steps a day for good health and challenging friends and colleagues to do the same.

Daily exercise helps Paul J. Connor III, President/CEO of Eastern Long Island Hospital stay fit and maintain a positive mental attitude.

“The endorphins released when I exercise, keep me feeling upbeat,” he believes.

This month, Connor begins a 19,341-foot climb up Africa’s highest peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro. He plans to make the trek in six days, taking at least 10,000 steps a day. Now, he’s laying the gauntlet down and challenging others with the “ELIH Fitness Challenge.”

What is the challenge? “Just like the ALS Ice Bucket challenge, the Fitness Challenge is tied to fundraising,” Connor explained.

“In this case, it’s the 2015 CARE Campaign, the Annual Appeal for Eastern Long Island Hospital. I am asking everyone to pledge to walk 10,000 steps regularly in honor the Hospital’s 110 Year Anniversary in 2015 or donate to the annual appeal.

The 2015 Annual Appeal celebrates all we’ve accomplished together.

Let’s kick it off by setting a goal for a healthier community.”

As recommended in a study reported in Sports Medicine, January, 2004, the number of steps needed for a healthy active lifestyle is 10,000 per day. A sedentary person averages 1,000 to 3,000 steps daily.

How many steps do you take in day? Wear a pedometer or use a smartphone app to track your progress. As part of this campaign,

As the phase for the final environmental impact analysis draws near, Southampton Town officials, as well as developers, are beginning to move forward with their plans for revitalizing the Canoe Place Inn area and eastern shore of the Shinnecock Canal.

For years now, plans for the site have been met with opposition from local residents of the Hampton Bays hamlet, who were up in arms about having the townhouse buildings clearly visible, as well as the potential noise.

“There was a lot of public concern about outdoor noise and having events there,” Principal Planner Janice Scherer said. “The applicant retained a noise consultant who analyzed it and determined if they put a fixed location, the noise would go to the road and not bother neighboring residents.”

On October 16, a new version of the proposal was presented by the town, calling for a smaller number of townhouses along the eastern shore of the Shinnecock Canal, lessening the original amount from 40 to 37.

The new proposal also includes, according to town planning officials Kyle Collins and Scherer, the units spread throughout seven buildings, rather than the nine originally proposed, averaging in at just under 2000 square feet. Collins said the townhouse buildings are slated to be 35 feet tall.

Developers are also planning to renovate the old Canoe Place Inn building west of the canal into a hotel and convention center. The hotel would include 20 units, a catering facility with a 300-person maximum capacity and a 90-seat restaurant with a 24-seat bar area. The townhouses would be accompanied with a clubhouse/ amenity area, pool and private marina, according to a draft of the final scope environmental impact report on the project. The clubhouse building would measure in at about 1900 square feet according to the new designs.

“The proposed rehabilitation of the CPI building and site will retain the historic character and will preserve the site’s distinguishing visual character,” according to the report.

Both Collins and Scherer said there’s still considerable work that would have to go into the plans for the property located east of North Road, where extensive excavation would be required.

“In the old plan, the entire site was going to be graded to the same level,” Collins said at a work session on the issue. “Now they are substantially working within the existing grade.”

The town board must deem the two properties set for development as Planned Development Districts in order for the project to move forward.

Week of October 29- November 5 ARIES (March 21-April 20) – It is true yours has been a difficult life, but rejoice for it will be mercifully short. In the interim self-flagellation provides a soothing respite. Try something to ease the pain, like laying awake in despair.

TAURUS (April 20-May 21) – The bull in your moon is in heat, so the heiffer in your star will feel his mighty thrust. Let’s hope Uranus is spared.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) – The Sun meets Mercury tomorrow marking the halfway point in the Mercury retrograde cycle. This is when new information comes to light and great ideas blossom.

In your case, though, maybe not, because they put you in the tardo class when you were six for a reason.

CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Be prepared for some internal insecurity and self-loathing, as if that’s a surprise. Your progeny is planning a celebration — the day after your funeral. Change your last will to stay alive: Thockmay can be trusted with your charts and your money. Keep in touch with yourself.

LEO (July 20-Aug. 21) – The Moon is in your sign Thursday, Friday, and Saturday until 6:23 PM. Do not close your eyes during that period or they will never open again. Other than that, things are good. Can you get me a beer?

VIRGO (Aug. 20-Sept. 21) – It is normal for this time of the cycle for you to exhibit bewilderment.

What is not normal is that incessant whining that annoys everyone who comes in contact with you. In the Tibetan mountains we advise such people to “keep your piehole shut,” but there is no literal translation in this country.

LIBRA (Sept. 21-Oct. 20) – Stop worrying about money just because you don’t have any, for it is truly the root of all evil. You have a pure heart, even though everyone makes fun of your soiled undergarments.

You will have an opportunity to earn valuable funds in an exciting career – the new telephone book is coming out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 20-Nov. 20) – You have been under pressure with Saturn in your sign and it seems to be increasing as Jupiter, the planet of excess and growth, is moving towards you. Pretty soon every freaking planet will be smacking you around and you’ll need an eclipse to make your getaway.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 20-Dec. 21) – There is something magical stirring in your ruling planet. Oh wait, it ain’t magical, and that’s not your ruling planet — it’s your boxer shorts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) – Having a one-on-one with your boss is favored this week so he can personally tell you what a freaking loser you are. It’s not that you work slowly – it’s that you do sloppy work slowly. But rejoice! Your coffee breaks are about to get longer and longer – like all day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You are caught in the horns of a dilemma between your partner who seems to be having all the fun and you feeling like a wet blanket. Don’t worry, it will end soon: your mate is sick of you and planning to throw you out of the house. Let’s just call it the “End of Aquarius” event. I hear a song coming . . .

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 21) – Something is fishy, and we don’t mean just your breath.

If you were born on the cusp let’s face it, you are in deep doo doo. In Thockmay’s country, a smoke of the camel chip would help you reach clarity.

In this god-forsaken country, however, the solution is much more difficult: eternal bed wetting. Enjoy.

EDITORIAL

Put The Enforce In Code Enforcement Hampton Bays School District Superintendent Lars Clemensen is the first we’ve run into who actually has a grip on illegal district residents and the havoc they wreak on school districts.

In fact, Springs School board members crippled with the same problem should swallow their pride, admit they have clunkers in administrative roles, and make Clemensen an offer he can’t refuse.

Clemensen works diligently with the Southampton Code Enforcement office to chart who is living in the transient motels and “resorts” in Hampton Bays, how many legal and illegal rental properties there are, and how many children with different surnames are living in each. The data is checked bi-annually.

East Hampton Town should pay attention as well. The town is mulling a rental registry law that will burden property owners with an unreasonable and possibly illegal regulation that is sure to cause more trouble than it is worth.

Speaker after speaker argued against it at a public session, and though there is another hearing scheduled, public sentiment seemed clear. Who exactly is driving this proposed law and why?

Southampton Town has had a rental registration law for years – there are a whopping 1100 registrants, only about 10 percent of those who own rental properties.

More telling, East Hampton has already included $50,000 in fees from the registry in its 2015 budget. How much is this fee going to be, anyway? Is this then, a fait accompli? Are these public hearings a ruse? If nothing else, the money bolsters the GOP position that the Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell has padded his budget with revenues that won’t materialize.

Those who fail to register could be fined as much as $30,000. Are they kidding?

Independent VOICES

Alleged Bribe

Dear Editor, Tim Bishop in his TV ads using clever lawyerly language asserts that he was cleared of criminality following FBI investigations into bribe taking and other matters. Not exactly. Under Attorney General Eric Holder, a politicized Justice Department dropped investigations of any “inconvenient” incidents that might turn into an embarrassment for the Obama administration, especially of figures “friendly” to the president.

Bishop is friendly to the tune of having voted 100 PERCENT for Obama’s agenda, with not a single dissenting vote on record.

Holder refused to prosecute each and every incident that, imagine, supported the administration’s agenda, regardless of the merit or seriousness of the indictments.

These include the gun running scandal otherwise known as Fast & Furious that resulted in the deaths of American federal agents as well as of hundreds of Mexicans (The “plan” was to blame American gun owners for the crimes of Mexican gangs); the Black Panthers blocking of white voters trying to enter polling booths; the IRS scandal that targeted only conservative groups and individuals; and, among others I have not listed here, the killings

Memo to East Hampton Town Board members: we are not your bloated South of the Highway campaign contributors – we are the working members of the middle class struggling to survive in a town with virtually no good-paying jobs. Rental incomes help us pay your generous salaries.

Let’s tell it like it is: neighborhood residents know the crowded summer group houses that clearly operate under the noses of authorities. We all know the year round residences crowded with unrelated renters and boarders who crowd our schools and take jobs away from taxpaying workers.

Michael Sendlenski, the assistant town attorney who seems to be championing this proposal -- or acting as the mouthpiece for the person who is really behind it -- is arguing the registry will accomplish what code enforcement has been unable to.

It’s a red herring. The Code is the Code. Put some teeth into it. Ultimately, every case is going to end up in court.

Every case isn’t as clear cut as neighbors may think. Clemensen pointed out, for example, that refugees seized at the border are subsequently placed in the homes of blood relatives. Those children have a legal right to a public school education.

East Hampton Town needs to stop making excuses. If our current staff can’t get the job done without this ridiculous law we need to find people who can, or hire additional, experienced help. We still don’t see the level of cooperation between school districts and code enforcers we would like.

What we need is someone like Lars Clemensen, who understands that school districts, code enforcers, elected officials and neighbors all have a role in identifying and controlling illegal housing, and that only together can we get a handle on it and restore our neighborhoods and schools to their previous luster. of American diplomats in Benghazi gun running armaments to ISIL terrorists in Syria.

It so happens that the Department of Justice is commanded by the Oval Office; the FBI is commanded by Justice, and Justice was headed by Eric Holder. That the FBI arguably put on hold the investigation into the alleged bribes paid to Bishop is to be determined in the future, now that Holder has left, to others AFTER the election.

ANDREW BENJAMIN

That Simple To The Editor, Though the barrage of personal attack ads tends to muddle the issues, this year’s

political choices are startlingly clear: If you want more of what we’ve experienced the last six years -- a stagnant economy crippled by neo-Marxist policies, a dangerously inept foreign policy, stupendous increases in spending and debt, a massive government health care plan that can’t or won’t even tell us how many people are registered, IRS scandals, a corrupt and divisive Justice Dept. and arrogant, unaccountable bureaucracies delving into every aspect of your life, vote for Tim Bishop.

Continued from page 19. border, and government agencies that actually serve rather than harass the public, vote for Lee Zeldin.

On the State level do you want a man who turned Westchester around and will do the same for the State (Astorino), or do you want someone who has dragged us down the same old path of overspending and overtaxing (Cuomo)?

It really is that simple this year.

REG CORNELIA

Clear Choice To the Independent Editor, Let’s explore some of the facts being thrown about during our Congressional Campaign. Let’s take Lee Zeldin first.

Mr. Zeldin basically has a Tea Party philosophy. He has been given the worst environmental score of any State Senator in New York. He is accused of taking campaign donations from a company that has dumped hazardous waste on public lands. Mr. Zeldin does not believe in strong gun controls for those purchasing weapons. He supports privatization of Social Security and is anti-choice even in cases of rape and incest!

Congressman Bishop has been a leading voice in Congress for environmental protection. He supports a universal background check before a person can purchase a weapon. He supports the continuation of Social Security as it is, and is pro-choice, giving a woman the right to control her own body. Furthermore, Congressman Bishop was cleared of political accusations that he accepted a payoff from a constituent by the U.S. Justice Department. The choice seems clear. Re-elect a Congressman who actually works for the public he serves.

LENI SALZ

Unholy Trinity Dear Editor, I can’t help but smirk every time that Tim Bishop’s campaign ad, about how proud of his record he is, comes on my television. Exactly what record would that be, Tim? About the only issue that Tim recently took a position on was taking a kickback in order to allow a reveler to shoot fireworks over some piping plover nests.

Had Tim been a Republican, this act would have caused New York liberals to flock here on their Lear Jets and helicopters in order to preach environmental sensitivity.

By Karen Fredericks

What do you remember about Halloween as a child?

Doris Wray I remember that I was a princess one year. I even had a little crown and my mother dressed me up in a princess dress that she bought for me. We lived in a brownstone house in Queens and I was only allowed to trick-or-treat in the neighborhood.

Joan Levine I lived in a 15 story apartment house in Manhattan and I only trick-or-treated in the building. And I had a list of apartments where my parents knew the tenants and those were the only apartments where I was allowed to ring the bell and trick-or-treat.

Plero Sistoli I was the baby of the family and I remember my two brothers making me feel very safe on Halloween when everyone else was scared of everything. I’d be between the two of them holding their hands. And they were both so excited about it all and so I was too.

Mary Spitzer Halloween was also my father’s birthday. So it was a great day. But it was definitely his day.

He chose my outfits and entered me in a local costume contest at the local movie theatre.

One year he dressed me as a boxer, black eye and all! I won second prize.

If anyone knows of a specific position that Tim has taken on Ebola, ISIS and the potential for radical Islamist attacks here, our economy, the disaster known as Obamacare and illegal immigration (other than the generic “comprehensive reform” answer in a can), you know him better than most.

Tim has managed to fly under the radar, not introduce a single piece of meaningful legislation and vote with the Obama, Pelosi, Reid unholy trinity for 12 years. We are past due for a change in Congressional District 1.

CHRIS FAUSETT

Abandon Distraction

Dear Editor, The election of 2014 may be our last opportunity to save our nation from disaster. History has taught us time and again that an uninvolved public paves the

way to tyranny, and there is no limit to the depths of tyranny.

Every voter has the ability to restore constitutional government by calling and writing to those seeking their vote and asking three simple questions to determine whether or not they support liberty.

Do you support reduced taxes?

Do you support individual controlled healthcare?

Do you support parental choice in education?

Obviously, those whose actions in public office do not support these basic liberties need to be replaced by those who do. Every voter can play a major role in restoring government that is of the people, by the people and for the people, by taking the time and effort to determine which candidates stand for liberty and Continued on Page 21.

$50,000 in revenue in the 2015 Tentative Budget. Police fees are supposed to go up 42 percent next year, Safety Inspection fees are supposed to go up 25 percent and alarm fees-fire are to rise 50 percent.

Continued from page 20.

All of the preceding increases in fees which stand for government expansion are to come from the portion of the town and control. Electronic communication not in the incorporated villages. now gives us all the ability to impact We will have more laws, more regulations, elections all across the USA by informing more enforcers and more expenses. Is and encouraging our contacts to abandon there any provision for prospective jobs all distractions and do what needs to be and working families? There isn’t even done to save our country from disaster. an indication that the town regards its ISRAEL TEITELLBAUM economy as a responsibility. If the budget is a message, that is pretty telling.

TOM KNOBEL Heavy Traffic CHAIR, EHTRC

VOICES

Dear Editor, Your cover story about the traffic snarls that are really what the “Gateway to the Hamptons” really is was spot on. What was not covered, and I encourage Emily Toy to look into this, are the many serious traffic accidents that have become routine over the past few years.

This road, which if Anna Throne Holst has her way, will host the mega King Kullen and accompanying and other retail, which generate heavy traffic. This traffic including behemoth trucks will be diverted, of necessity, down the quiet residential streets south of this monstrosity.

FRANCES GENOVESE

A Gaping Hole Dear Editor, Even as we consider our choices in the November Election, we should be looking in our own backyard at the Budget being developed by the East Hampton Town Board. The reliance on one shot revenue sources for the 2015 Tentative Budget, i.e. usage of reserve funds and the closure of the Scavenger Waste Treatment Plant, will leave a gaping hole in 2016 that will need to be filled by fees.

We are watching a prospective shift to the hammering of the public with increased fees, restrictions and regulations. It appears that the town wants to act like a door slamming village with little thought for the future.

To quote the Supervisor’s budget message, “one of the existing full-time Assistant Town Attorneys will be able to act as a full-time legal professional devoted to formulating laws and legislation and providing advice on enforcement.”

Additionally, a part–time investigator will be added to town employ, and parttime police and marine patrol staff for the purpose of “boosting compliance with parking regulations, traffic control and local ordinances.” It is no coincidence that these are all revenue generators.

The proposed rental registry, not yet even noticed for public hearing, provides

Never Lose Hope Dear Editor, October is “Adopt a Shelter Dog Month,”

www.indyeastend.com

and I’d like to share the story of my rescued dog, Pepper.

Pepper had never known stability. She was found on a highway, and when her former owners were contacted, they didn’t want her back. She was transferred from a pound to a rescue to a foster home before I adopted her. When she finally came home with me, she was understandably frightened and confused, and she did the only thing she knew: she ran -- straight into thousands of acres of forest.

I contacted PETA for help, and received a list of suggestions. Their last tip was the most important: Never give up! With help from the group that rescued Pepper, I scoured the forest, tacked up hundreds of posters, and set three humane cage traps.

Through thunderstorms and even a small tornado, we kept the traps stocked with food and checked them morning and night.

October 29, 2014

They caught a couple curious raccoons whom we quickly freed, but no Pepper. For three weeks, we kept on searching, despite many tears and our fears that Pepper had starved or been killed.

O n e d a y, d u r i n g ye t a n o t h e r thunderstorm, I checked on a trap and heard growling inside. Another raccoon I thought. But it was Pepper -- filthy and frightened, but alive! I rushed her home, where she is recovering from her ordeal and her sweet, playful personality is beginning to emerge.

Every dog deserves someone who will never give up on her. I encourage those who are ready to care for a dog to save a life by adopting, and to never lose hope if their animal companions go missing.

Once upon a time, there was an anti-Christ goldfish from Satan’s lair that found its way to the surface of the earth. While the fish was on the surface, gasping for air, a kid named Billai found him. So the boy took him home and mistreated him. Ten years later, the goldfish went crazy. He took physical and mental enhancement drugs, along with energy drinks, and became a raging super goldfish. He grew to 100 feet tall and became a dictator and ruled the world. Anyone who defied his will was either killed or tortured and enslaved.

One day the goldfish snapped and went on a rampage, blowing up many countries. He ate the ashes of people, and anyone who survived was eaten. After he gained more and more strength, he turned into Goldzilla! He ate too many people and got sick from a mega-ultra-super-duper-disease. He swelled up to the size of the sun! Two months later he blew up. A million years later, the bacteria evolved into people again.

One day, three boys named John, Cashus, and Remo were fishing for striped bass along the coast of Fort Pond. Suddenly, monster-like footprints caught their eye.

The boys followed the scary footprints to a dark cave. There, they spotted a very unusual skeleton.

It was the size of a Mini-Cooper and unlike anything they had ever seen before.

They brought it to the Montauk Secret Underground Science Laboratory for the scientists to investigate. The scientists were surprised to see this type of skeleton. There was something very suspicious and dangerous about it. The scientists

told the boys to “Dig a big hole and bury the skeleton in the cemetery.” So, they did.

A few years later, the skin grew back on the skeleton!!! It dug itself out of the grave and slithered out of the cemetery into town. The locals recognized it as the Montauk Monster!

John, Cashus, and Remo heard on the news that the monster had come alive.

They returned to the cave at Fort Pond.

Inside the cave were three monks dressed in red and white robes, holding staffs of diamonds. They were the Masters of Disaster. As soon as the boys saw the monks, they knew that they were the creators of this vicious monster. The staffs began to

When they sat down they noticed the seats were made out of bones and the table was made out of gum. Max thought it was gross. Out of nowhere an old lady popped out and scared them both. Her eyes were closed. The old lady took their order and she was shaking because her bones were so Max orsmall. They were scared. dered the bloody head soup and the green zombie throw up. His mom got head salad and the fruit hand.

They thought the menu was a joke for Halloween.

The old lady came out with the drink. When Max and his mom saw the drink they both felt sick. The green zombie throw up had a floating hand in it.

When the food came out, Max’s mom fainted because the head salad had a real head in it. For the bloody head soup, instead of a bowl, it was in a head and the soup was blood.

They decided not to eat the food. Then, they stopped for a moment because they wanted to see what the food tasted like.

They started to shove the food in their mouths because they loved the food. They said thank you and the old lady smiled. She didn’t have any teeth. Then she opened her eyes and the boy SCREAMED!!! The old lady had no eyes!

Creepy Quotes “Dead eyes popped out of the ground . . .”

— Mackenzie Lenahan, Grade 2, Montauk School

Zanzy Rice-Reeves Grade 5, Amagansett School The Dare The gong struck 12. He waited, waited. Why had he agreed?

It had been a sunny afternoon, and Luke had gotten the phone call. The boys of 49th Street had summoned him. Thud, Thud. His sneakers hit the sidewalk. He rounded a corner, 48th Street, he rounded another corner, 49th. Perspiration slid down his face. He ran into an alley. They were there. Bobby, Joe, Tom, Finn, and Jason met Luke. He had been waiting for this opportunity for ages but now that it was time he was fearful. They told him. The biggest, toughest challenge in the city: Go to the Warluck House for entire night awake.

“It was the scariest thing I had ever done,” Joe cautioned.

“I barely got out of it alive,” Jason grimaced.

“Ghouls that will harvest your brain, rabid dogs, and black cats,” Finn paled at the thought.

“I remember one time I heard something. It was moaning and groaning as if in agony,” Tom shuddered.

“If you survive, you’re in,” the leader Bobby stated.

“Fine,” said Luke, more confident than he felt.

“I’ll do it if I have to.”

The gang laughed.

“Okay, we’ll see you at 7:30 then,” Bobby smirked.

And like a shadow, they slid into the 4:00 crowd not to

be seen until tomorrow.

A few hours later Luke trekked to the Warluck House in fear and anxiety. “They’re just kidding,” he thought hastily to reassure himself. Complete nonsense.

He entered the abandoned home and quickly shut the door.

BAM! It slammed shut, a noise louder than he had ever heard. As gallons of perspiration protruded from his pores, he made his way up the stairs. The house reminded him of a sad clown, long and droopy. When he reached the top of the banister, a long, long hallway with dozens of doors met his eyes. From somewhere he swore he heard a moaning and groaning just like the sound Tom had informed him about. Luke suspected each room, every one just like the next, until he found a remarkable room. It looked like a scientists lab. There were microscopes, and bones. Lots of bones. Luke figured that the scientists probably studied bones. When he stepped in the room, he suddenly gasped.

There was a ghoul. It was facing the other way and did not see him, but naturally Luke fled to the next room. Fifteen minutes later in the dark, cold room he lay in his sleeping bag, forcing himself not to sleep. What was that, he thought. Growling? He concentrated on where the sound was coming from.

He sat up rigid as he heard the sound come nearer.

Every hair on his head lept to attention. With no warning a huge shadow suddenly lept into the room. Luke tried to just look at the shadow and not the dog, but curiosity overcame him. What met his eyes was the most horrible thing he had ever seen. A big, boack dog stood in the threshold, with huge red eyes, and fangs as big as his hand. He knw that the dog could smell his fear. As soon as he had that thought, the huge hellhound pounced but missed. Luke jumped back so suddenly that he tripped on the rug and smacked the back of his head on the dresser. Everything went black. When he awoke, it was morning. He remembered the hellhound, the groans, and the ghoul, and everything came flooding back to him. His eyesight was foggy., his head hurt but he didn’t care. He grasped his stuff and bolted out the house. He had made it alive, but barely.

THE END

Second place 4-thru 6 Micaela Batto, Grade 4, Sagaponack School Adventures of 4 Monsters One Halloween night there were four friends. Their names were Collin, Bella, Charlie and Micaela. They were trick-ortreating and they found an abandoned horse barn. Collin said, “Let’s go in!”

Bella said, “Awww, come on. I’m tired!” Then they all went inside and changed out of their Halloween costumes, except Micaela.

“I want to keep trick-or-treating,” she said.

Micaela said, “Did anyone bring a flashlight?”

Charlie said, “I have three. Let’s share them.”

It was a full moon and the barn was full of dark angels, but they didn’t notice them. The barn doors closed shut! The angels screamed, “Aaahhhh!”

Bella said, “How do we get out now?”

It was a very cold night and Micaela said, “Guys. I have some blankets that will keep us warm.”

Everyone went to sleep. While they were sleeping, an angel came and zapped them into monsters! Micaela became a skeleton, Bella a spider, Collin and Charlie turned into fire-breathing dragons.

The next morning, Micaela screamed, “I’m a skeleton!”

Bella and Charlie and Collin woke up and screamed, “What are we going to do?!”

Collin tested out if he could breathe fire. He set the whole barn

on fire! “COLLIN!” said Micaela and Bella.

Charlie said, “Let’s get out of here!”

They all go outside safely. Bella and Micaela started riding on Charlie and Collin because they were dragons.

Next, they saw a school that was named Night’s Edge Academy School and they went inside. “Look over there!” Micaela said.

“What!” Bella said.

“There are zombies and devils!” Micaela screamed.

Charlie said, “The devils are probably teachers. Maybe they turned the students into zombies?”

Collin yelled, “Let’s set them on fire. It will be awesome!”

Charlie and Collin started breathing fire and burned the zombies and devils. Micaela, Collin, Bella and Charlie left the school and went to Bella’s house.

Then while they were watching a movie, Micaela started seeing everyone turning back to normal! She looked in the mirror and started to cry. “I’m still a skeleton!” she screamed.

Bella started to laugh. “That is your Halloween costume. Do you remember that you never took your costume off?”

“Oh yeah,” Micaela giggled.

Everyone smiled and shared some pieces of their Halloween candy.

First place 7-and 8 Skylar Minardi, Grade 7, Springs School The Gnar Wave It was the year 2100. Years ago Montauk Point was covered in ocean water when the seas rose. A couple of years after that a cargo ship went off course in rough seas and crashed into the remains of Montauk Point. Ever since the crash there are piles of rocks all over, thrown out to sea and on shore—like a boulder field. There was rusted metal from the cargo ship and the remains of the lighthouse.

Montauk Point looked like a nuke went off, but attracted many people that we call Surfers. All of this wreckage caused a nasty gnarly wave. It’s been recorded to be the most deadly wave to hit America. The wave was heavy, big, steep, and there are sharp jagged rocks. Every big surfer wanted to conquer this wave.

“Sunny!” shouted Derek. Sunny woke up slowly.

“What?” Sunny said.

“Come over here.”

Sunny looked at the bright computer screen. There was a purple dot on the screen moving toward Long Island. The purple dot meant that a huge swell was coming and that meant BIG waves. Sunny’s blue eyes widened, and Derek thought he saw a reflection of a curling wave on his shiny pupils.

Two days later Sunny and Derek went to check out the waves. It was the day after a storm passed, and the wind was blowing really hard. Sunny and Derek knew that there were going to be big waves. They drove up to a cliff, which marked the new end of the island, in the middle of the stretch of highway from Amagansett. Sunny and Derek got out of the car. The air smelled like rotting seaweed, and they could smell the salt in the air. They peered over the fence, and their morning eyes became really big. Sunny ran

over to the car to get his wetsuit on. He had a winter wetsuit because the water was chilly at the beginning of November. As he dressed he saw the huge, terrifying wave curling toward them. It cast a shadow on the sea that looks like a curving mountain. It had to be at least 45 to 50 feet high.

“Come on, Sunny, don’t you want to be the first one out there?”

Sunny’s only fear was drowning—the thought terrified him, and this wave looked fatal. But he didn’t want to be a wuss, so he ran over to Sunny and finished zipping up his wetsuit.

Sunny and Derek were waxing their boards down at the water’s edge. Derek was really excited, so after waxing his board he jumped right in and started paddling. Sunny stood on shore with his arm wrapped around his surfboard. The shiny blue board had been a gift for his birthday, and it had the words, “Montauk – The End” inscribed on it in swirly black letters. He took three deep breaths and jumped in.

The freezing cold water felt like being shocked by a taser.

He paddled out to the break zone, his heart beating faster than a racehorse.

Derek was already through the break point, shouting, “Faster, Come on. It’s almost here!” Sunny put all his weight forward on his board and pressed down as hard as he could.

The water was like an electric shock running through his body. He paddled through rusted pieces of metal from the old broken cargo ship. Smaller waves passed over him, and he emerged, grateful that he made it through to his friend.

Sunny gave Derek a high five, just as the shadow of the gnar wave approached them. He was surprised to see five other surfers out there, waiting for the wave. They have beaten-

up surfboards, old wetsuits, and they looked like they never stepped out of the water. Sunny started to shiver as the shadow of the gnar wave blocked the sun.

The wave was rolling in quickly. Sunny and Derek turned their boards and started paddling as fast as they could. Sunny used all his strength and stood up on his board. He knew this was going to be the wave, the perfect wave—after a lifetime of waiting. The wave started to lift Sunny high above the rusty wreckage and the shiny boulders. He felt a tug upwards as the wave began to curl over him slowly. Sunny was in mid-air, waiting for the huge drop.

His heart was pounding. In the distance he saw the cliff and the houses that dotted the edge of Long Island in Amagansett.

Sunny closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was not going to die today. He pulled the board around and landed it, getting inside the barrel that was moving fast. Sea spray stung his face and eyes. Sunny looked and saw the lip closing in fast. He could see the end of the barrel, like a dark tunnel. He crouched down really low as the top of the wave brushed his head. At the last second he burst through the barrel, making out the other end. He rode the wave in excitement, weaving through rocks and the jagged mast of a wrecked ship. There was a tremendous explosion as the wave crashed down and sent white foam flying high into the sky. Bits of metal shattered and whizzed past his face.

“That was so gnarly!” he yelled back to everyone. But when he turned around, there was nobody else there.

Sunny had been the only to survive the legendary gnar wave. His surfboard took him all the way to shore, where he saw the graves of all those who died surfing here.

The jalapeno was so loco because he watched his jalapeno friend get eaten by George Lopez in 1942. Ever since then, he moved to Mexico and planned to avenge his dead jalapeno friend.

The jalapeno planned to chop George Lopez up with his wood chipper as soon as he had the chance. He had made his plan extremely concise, with every detail in mind, and perfect timing. Since George Lopez was a Mexican jalapeno dealer, the mad jalapeno was determined to throw him in the wood chipper.

The loco jalapeno and some of his friends arrived at George Lopez’s house early one morning. They knocked on his door and said, “You just won a free tree removal.”

George said, “Yes, if it’s free it’s for me. Why don’t you start with the tree behind the shrubs in the back.”

The jalapeno borrowed a shovel in George Lopez’s garage. He then started to dig.

After 10 minutes he went inside the house with the shovel.

The jalapeno saw George sitting on a chair in the living room eating jalapenos. The crazy jalapeno

started screaming and took the shovel to George’s knees and once he was on the ground, he hit him on his head.

When George Lopez woke up he was tied up to a chair in a basement. He heard two voices coming from the room above, but he could not make out what they were saying. Then the door opened. The jalapeno came down stairs. George Lopez started to scream saying “Why did you do this?” The jalapeno said nothing and just stared at him. The jalapenos then picked up George Lopez and took him up the stairs. George Lopez was still screaming when the Jalapeno screamed back at him saying, “Shut up.”

The jalapeno took him outside and threw him on the ground.

The Jalapeno started up the wood chipper. George Lopez said, “No you can’t do this.” the Jalapeno had just stared at him.

The jalapeno picked up George Lopez as he said, “This is for my people.” With all their strength they threw George Lopez in the wood chipper. The loco jalapeno put a bowl of cheese and guacamole to celebrate their deed. They soon mixed the special ingredient into the bowl, chipped George Lopez.

third place 7-and 8 Alan Rodriguez, Grade 8, Our Lady of the Hamptons R.C. School Worry Richard sat up and looked with fright at the alarm clock. It didn’t sound like a regular alarm, but more like it was mocking him. “Today you die!

Today you die! Today you die!” thundered in his ears instead of the electronic chirp. Violently, he snatched the clock up and threw it across the room, smashing in on the opposite wall.

“God,” he thought, “It’s getting worse.” Ever since he visited the Chinese restaurant and opened the weird fortune cookie, he had been worried. At first he laughed will all his friends at the strange fortune in the cookie, “Next week you will die.”

From that moment things felt differently to him.

For the last seven days, he could feel death stalking him. Approaching. Getting closer and closer with each passing moment and the stress of it all was getting to him. He hadn’t been sleeping well; his blood

pressure was dangerously high. But all he could think about was death coming for him.

Suddenly, he felt a horrible pressure in his chest. The pain was incredibly intense and he couldn’t breathe. Gasping for breath and clutching his chest, he fell over, dead.

“Well,” the coroner said, “I’ve never seen anything quite like it. A young man of thirty-four years old, suffering a massive stress heart attack. He must have been under a terrible strain.”

Meanwhile, at the fortune cookie factory across town, the manager was correcting an error. “It should say, ‘Next week you will diet,’ not die,” he explained to the typesetter while he held up the fortune on the small slip of paper. “Someone could be upset by this.”

“Yes” he thought, “someone could worry about it,” as he crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash.

Pencil in the Westhampton Beach Hurricanes in to Suffolk County High School Football playoffs.

The locals made sure of that by taking out Amityville 31-20 to run their record to 5-2. The Hurricanes, who have a tendency to keep make things interesting, took no chances this time around, opening up a 24-6 lead after three stanzas.

Dylan Laube proved to be unstoppable, rushing for a game high 144 yards. He opened the scoring with a one-yard plunge in the first quarter, scored again from the three in the second, and applied the dagger in the fourth with a riveting 57-yard scamper that put the final nail in the coffin.

Jets Issues Well Beyond Rex Ryan The Jets are quickly slipping into Rich Kotite territory. In case you are unaware, or tried to block that time period from your memory, Kotite went 4-28 as the Jets head coach in 1995-96. Following Sunday’s 43-23 loss to the Bills, the Jets are 1-7, and the season is unofficially over. There is no way to overcome this deficit and make a late season run. The Jets are a broken team, in need of fixing in several places. But, the head coach is not one of them.

Rex Ryan is not the Jets’ problem.

I believe the team respects him and fights for him. He is a defensive genius, who, with the right group, will overachieve, and get the most out of his players. Critics credit Ryan for being a defensive mastermind, but insist he will never have a team with a potent enough offense to win big in today’s NFL. That’s an unfair assessment. Ryan has worked with Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith as his two quarterbacks.

Current offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg held the same position

with the Eagles from 2006 to 2012.

He produced top-five offenses in the NFL (yards/game) in each of his last three seasons. Did Mornhinweg forget how to coach when he came to the Jets? Did Ryan suddenly become a ‘bad’ head coach? Neither is true. It’s the personnel that continue to get worse.

This problem is squarely on the shoulders of GM John Idzik.

He was brought in following the 2012 season, but has yet to prove his worth. Idzik left the Seattle Seahawks as the VP of Football Administration. His blueprint was to build a team through the draft, but Idzik’s expertise was in player negotiations, the salary cap, and football operations budgets.

He was/is a numbers guy, not a player evaluator. That flaw has shown in his first two drafts as General Manager. Last year, he

om

selected cornerback Dee Milliner with a top-10 pick, who, when occasionally healthy, has been a total bust. Geno Smith was drafted early in the second round . . . enough said. To Idzik’s credit, he did draft Sheldon Richardson at defensive tackle, who has been excellent.

The Jets had 12 picks in this past spring’s draft. It was supposed to be a franchise-changing draft and weekend. It has proven to be neither. Calvin Pryor has yet to stay healthy and back up his first round selection. Jace Amaro keeps showing some signs of improvement at tight end. The rest of the players drafted have had limited, if any, impact.

In fact, the Jets already cut a fourth rounder, wide receiver Jalen Saunders.

As for the free agent market, Idzik had no interest in spending money on the secondary, or anywhere for that matter. The Jets entered the season $20 million under the salary cap. This despite knowing that Ryan’s defensive scheme demands at least one shutdown cornerback.

They hoped Milliner to develop into one. It was a high-risk move that didn’t turn out as Idzik planned.

In recent days and weeks, Ryan has received the blame for sticking with Geno Smith for too long. I don’t believe he had a choice. I bet Ryan would’ve moved on from Smith weeks ago. But, he can’t.

Smith was an Idzik draft choice, and Idzik is going to make sure they spend enough time figuring out if he’s a franchise quarterback. With owner Woody Johnson showing more support for Idzik than Ryan, Rex’s hands are tied. He has to play good soldier, and follow bosses orders.

So, at 1-7, it’s becoming clear that this season can’t end well for Ryan. I will always believe that JIdzik wanted no part of Ryan when he took the job with the Jets. But, Johnson wouldn’t let Idzik fire Ryan prior to 2013. After Ryan shocked the NFL by producing an 8-8 record last season, Idzik had to give him a lukewarm extension.

Could Idzik have sabotaged this season, produced a roster that Vince Lombardi couldn’t win with, knowing Ryan would struggle, and then be able to fire him without backlash from the fan base? It’s entirely possible. But, if you really want to find someone to blame for this disaster, it’s GM John Idzik.
