There Goes The Neighborhood

For some, that is.

Dozens of Tuckahoe residents are up in arms over two proposals

from Southampton Town: the proposal of a new shopping center on County Road 39 at the Magee Street intersection, as well as the

approved site plan for building apartments on the nearby Sandy Hollow Road.

Traffic flow and the environmental impact are major concerns for both projects, from the public’s point of view.

development project proposed for Tuckahoe has had locals in the past arguing it’s too big for the community. For years, several plans have been presented and revised to better fit the character of the community.

To w n o f f i c i a l s n o t e a supermarket in the area would provide convenient shopping opportunities for the North Sea, Southampton and Tuckahoe communities, as well as provide jobs for locals. Residents, however, for years have insisted the Tuckahoe Center proposal would increase traffic and change the character of CR 39 for the worst.

Traffic impacts, aesthetics such as size, mass, design, and issues affecting the surrounding community character were main topics raised by the public against the proposal.

The newest effort, from the town and applicant Robert Morrow, features a rezone of three adjoining properties located on the south side of County Road 39, east of Magee Street, in Tuckahoe. The venture is slated to change the zoning of over seven acres from Highway Business and residential to Shopping Center Business. The application includes a 40,000-square-foot supermarket, as well as a 15,000-square-foot retail building and a 3500-squarefoot bank.

As far as traffic is concerned, the proposal would include access from CR 39 from two driveways into the center. The main driveway will be designed to allow traffic to enter from both eastbound and westbound directions, but exiting traffic will be allowed to make right turns out only. Also part of the proposal is a” public access easement across the site that will provide a connection from Magee Street to CR 39,” according to the final scope of the proposal.

The final scope also included traffic studies to be done in the peak of the summer months (on both a week day and a weekend day) to measure traffic at CR 39 where it intersects with Magee Street, Hubbard Lane, North Bishop Lane, Sebonac Road, and, of course, Sandy Hollow Road.

Moving about a half mile east of the proposed Tuckahoe Center is the future site plan for the highly publicized Sandy Hollow apartments.

Recently, a group of Tuckahoe residents filed a lawsuit against S o u t h a m p t o n To w n ’ s J u l y approval of a 28-unit apartment complex set to be built at the beginning of Sandy Hollow Road on the Tuckahoe/North Sea border.

Candidates Grilled At CCOM Forum

By Kitty Merrill

Veteran elected officials seeking office on the East End know the annual Concerned Citizens of Montauk candidate forum is the high water mark in any campaign season. It typically boasts an educated audience well informed about local and national issues that never shies away from asking the hard questions.

Sunday’s forum at the Montauk Firehouse was no exception. It was well attended despite midterm elections that see no local hopefuls for town offices on the ballot.

The fight for a seat in the House of Representatives pitting incumbent Democrat Tim Bishop against Republican challenger Lee Zeldin was clearly the big draw. Audience members questioned the pair about an array of local and national issues for over an hour and, despite a particularly ugly campaign marked by no small measure of mudslinging, the candidates remained cordial and composed.

Topics ranged from coastal policy and the environment to immigration and ISIS to Obamacare.

Both candidates were given time to offer brief comments. Zeldin spoke first. Elected to the state senate in 2011, the Republican was born and raised on Long Island and is an attorney and officer in the Army Reserves. He was military intelligence officer, prosecutor, and magistrate during active duty that included deployment to Iraq.

“I’m convinced we can be on a better path,” he said, offering his reason for running for Congress.

Bishop, who’s served the district for 12 years, is proud of his record, especially when it comes assisting constituents. His office has dealt with over 17,000 cases since he took office. “That’s 17,000 lives effected.

That’s 17,000 problems solved.” Constituent services are, he said, “Government doing what it does best.”

Unfortunately, the congressman explained, in Washington, government is not doing its best. Responding to an audience question asking what he’s learned during his tenure in congress, Bishop offered, “The most debilitating emotion when trying to govern is anger.” Congress is consumed with anger, he opined.

Bishop stays above the fray, reaching across the aisle to compromise, form partnerships, and “get things done” despite a dysfunctional atmosphere.

The incumbent seemed to credit the dysfunctional environment with problems that have surfaced since

October 22, 2014

the adoption of the Affordable Care Act. Congress won’t work to fix the aspects that aren’t working, he said, emphasizing that because of Obamacare, “13 million people in this country have insurance that didn’t.” Bishop believes the federal government should be allowed to negotiate medication prices; it’s currently prohibited.

Zeldin would vote to repeal Obamacare, but agrees that certain aspects of it should remain in place.

Asked if he’d buck his party’s stance on keeping taxes low to increase benefits for vets, and money for the CDC and World Health Organization, the challenger said he would.

There is “low hanging fruit” in the budget that could be used to cover the costs. Government needs to

EBOLA . . . EBOLA . . . EBOLA . . .

ARE YOU SCARED YET? The chances of anyone reading this catching Ebola, at this time, are beyond minuscule.

So if you’re nervous, calm down.

Ebola is a disease that affects people who live in West Africa, specifically in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, and why would anyone want to go there?

Besides, Ebola won’t be a real threat to the United States until that great professional-bleeding-heartliberal actor Sean Penn travels to one of those Ebola countries wearing a custom-tailored Hazmat suit, hugs an Ebola patient and then issues a statement that Ebola was caused by the policies of George W. Bush.

Let me calm your fears. The reason you’re nervous is because the media has gone wild trying to scare you.

Every single television station in the land now starts their news shows talking about the three people in Dallas who have contracted Ebola and the one man who traveled from West Africa who died in Dallas.

I know what it’s like to die in Dallas. I saw my beloved football Giants die in Dallas last Sunday

afternoon.

But I digress. Back to Ebola.

For CNN, Ebola is wonderful. It’s like the stories they did every day for months, where they almost found, then lost, the missing Malaysian plane.

Now they have Ebola and they won’t let go.

Andy Borowitz, who is perhaps the funniest writer around these days, said it all when he reported: “The president of CNN Worldwide attempted on Wednesday to defuse the brewing controversy over his decision to change the network’s official slogan from ‘The Most Trusted Name in News’ to ‘Holy Crap, We’re All Gonna Die’.”

Of course, to calm down the fears, the smartest thing our brilliant President could do would be to stop all flights coming to the United States from West Africa. Is he doing that? Of course not.

Apparently they didn’t cover protecting the country from a deadly disease at his community organizers’ school.

Wo r s e , O b a m a i s s e n d i n g Americans to West Africa.

Obama has decided he is going to put American soldiers’ boots on the ground – in West Africa.

Obama is sending 4,000 U.S. military personnel to the afflicted regions. Headquarters will be in Liberia’s capital, Monrovia.

Since March, 2,756 people have died from Ebola in Liberia. So why are we sending 4,000 healthy American soldiers there?

Obama wants our troops to build hospitals for Ebola patients and treatment and training centers.

Some of our soldiers will be working with Liberian Army members on a daily basis, which means they will be surrounded by foreign nationals who have been exposed to Ebola.

Will our soldiers be in danger of contracting Ebola and bringing it back to the U.S.?

Military spokesmen say they are relying on CDC guidelines to protect our soldiers against Ebola.

We all know how great and accurate the CDC has been about Ebola up until now. Why not trust them with the lives of our soldiers?

Do you think all this is insane?

I do.

That’s why I’m asking everyone reading this to join me in making this plea.

Join me whether you feel Barack Obama is a doofus who is over his head, as I do, or if you think he has been a brilliant leader who can do no wrong, as many other people do: President Obama, We respectfully urge you that in your role as Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces, you immediately travel to and tour Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea and greet and salute the American troops you have assigned to fight the war on Ebola in those countries.

IT DOESN’T GET ANY MORE RACIST THAN THIS

“We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies . . .” Barack Obama speech 2008.

“If you don’t have any fresh

IN THE NEWS

ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare voters. If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from.” Barack Obama, Presidential acceptance speech 2008.

Last Sunday, The New York Times had a front-page story headlined: “Black Vote Seen as Last Hope for Democrats to Hold Senate.”

I believe treating black voters as if they will blindly vote for a Democrat without knowing the issues in their states’ Senate races is cynical and racist.

The article points out that the President is waging an under-theradar campaign, recording video advertisements, radio interviews and specifically targeting his loyal African-American base.

In a taped interview with three black radio hosts, Obama told listeners, “I’ll bet there’s a bunch of you folks listening to your show who may not know there’s an election going on.”

This is a black President treating blacks in a cynical and racist way.

Representative Marcia L. Fudge, who is black, has said: “Look at it this way. I have a better opportunity to convince a black voter to vote than they (whites) do.”

This is a black Representative treating blacks in a cynical and racist way.

In the last four years Obama has consistently sought to divide Americans along lines of class and race.

This kind of thinking is bad when the Tea Party does it. It’s bad when the Republican party does it.

And it’s bad when the Democratic party does it.

Just imagine a headline in the Times that reads, “White Vote Seen as Last Hope for Republicans to Win Senate.”

The story would go on to read Republicans are urging whites to vote in the Senate election.

Do you know how loud the President, the Democratic Party and The New York Times would be screaming?

Parking “A Confusing Mess”

By Kitty Merrill

Everyone agreed the public should have access to public property. Just how much access was the point of contention last Thursday night as the East Hampton Town Board held public hearings related to the South Flora Nature Preserve and Beach on the Napeague Stretch in Amagansett.

First up was a hearing related to parking on Dolphin Drive, which runs along the western side of the 38-acre preserve. Supervisor Larry Cantwell deemed the parking situation “a confusing mess,” and went on to explain recent events.

Most of the road had “No Parking” signs in place until last August when they were replaced by signs that allow parking with a town permit.

When the change was brought to his attention, Cantwell was unable to find resolutions to back up either option.

Residents of the area claimed parking along Dolphin Drive has always been prohibited while one local fisherman said he and others have parked there for years without problems.

Supporters of prohibiting parking pointed to well-used vehicle and pedestrian access points. Parking cars on the narrow road would create an “untenable” safety situation, Norm Edwards offered. He said he visited more than 15 area beaches in the Town of East Hampton and the town is consistent in prohibiting parking near residences. A variation from that plan could be construed

Independent / Kitty Merrill

as discriminatory, Dolphin Drive resident Jonathan Wallace pointed out. Additionally, he reported people are already parking on “fragile native vegetation.”

Ira Barocas lives near the Babe’s Lane Nature Preserve in Springs, where the road is no wider. He “completely and utterly supports”

ensuring public access and urged the board to refrain from setting a dangerous precedent by the de facto privatization of the South Flora beach.

Speaking on behalf of the group Citizens for Access Rights, Tim Taylor echoed Barocas’s concern.

The Eastern Long Island Chapter of Surfriders and the town trustees also weighed in against prohibiting parking on Dolphin Drive.

Loring Bolger of Springs listed a number of preser ved areas in her hamlet that are both environmentally fragile and near residential areas. Parking for the public is available at those locales and she believes it could be created on Dolphin Drive. Invasive pines along the border of the preserve could be removed and pull-in parking could be created. She asked the board to keep in mind the overall size of the property. Bolger doesn’t believe it would hurt the area to cut in 20 feet to provide parking.

Larry Penny the former head of the town’s Natural Resources Department disagreed. He said the property is environmentally sensitive “right up to the asphalt.”

Parking has been provided each time the Nature Preserve Committee has worked on a management plan for other sites, the committee’s chair Zach Cohen observed. Jeremy Samuelson of the Concerned Citizens of Montauk wondered if the town wasn’t coming at the problem a little bit sideways, since the hearing on parking was held prior to formally designating the property a nature preserve and adopting a management plan. He and Cohen both appeared to favor crafting a management plan before deciding the parking issue. Asked if such plan could be completed before next summer, Cohen said “of course.”

The South Flora parcel was purchased with Community Preser vation Fund money for about $8 million back during the Schneiderman administration (2000-2003). The deal included a land swap with the owners of the Lobster Roll that enabled the restaurant to improve its parking and the town to create parking on a separate parcel behind the snack bar. A parking area with a scenic walkway was designed, but the administration ended before the plan was implemented. Succeeding supervisors didn’t take up the project.

The second South Flora-related hearing last week sought input on designating the acreage a nature preserve. No one spoke in opposition to the idea, which is a good thing, since a sign at the site already identifies it as a nature preserve.

FoodDay: For Healthy Hunger Relief

By Kitty Merrill

There are people in East Hampton who don’t have enough to eat. While the East Hampton Food Pantry’s Herculean effort to meet the needs of the hungry is often publicized in

The Independent, lots of people still don’t realize that there’s a segment of the local population in need. And, that needy segment struggles to find food that’s both healthy and affordable.

LVIS Halloween Party The East Hampton Ladies’ Village Improvement Society is hosting a Halloween party at its headquarters on 95 Main Street on Saturday.

Children in grades pre-K through third grades and their families are invited to attend the annual affair! Children are encouraged to come in costume. Join in singing, dancing, storytelling and a scavenger hunt. Each child will receive a goodie bag and treats. Rain or shine, 2 to 4 PM and admission is free. For more information call 631-324-1220.

On Friday, that need is front and center across the nation with the celebration of FoodDay. Conceived by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, FoodDay is a nationwide celebration of and movement for healthy, affordable, and sustainable food.

This year, to celebrate FoodDay, the East Hampton Food Pantry will join forces with SuperFood Drive, an organization committed to changing the face of hunger by empowering and guiding food banks and food pantries in providing nutrient-dense foods and nutrition education to the vulnerable populations who rely upon them, and Stirring the Pot,

a weekly show on WPPB 88.3FM devoted to food, nutrition and health, to bring healthy hunger relief to the local community. “ We w a n t t o i n f o r m a n d inspire our community about the importance of healthy hunger relief,” explained Vicki Littman chair of East Hampton Food Pantry. “We have asked Amagansett School and Ross Lower School to partner with us in hosting educational assemblies and SuperFood Drives — where the students will be provided with a list of nutrient dense foods that can be distributed to the various pantry clients.” On Friday Stefanie Sacks of Stirring the Pot will present a cooking demonstration for pantry recipients and local students at the East Hampton Food Pantry.

“If we educate the students, they will educate their parents about the issue of hunger on the East End as well as nationwide concerns,” Littman continued.

“And if we can reach the kids while they’re still young, we’re creating a new generation of caring citizens who can make smart food choices, helping to lower the obesity rate and other related health issues in this country.

“It may seem like a lofty goal, but we’re confident that with a little education, the students will greatly benefit from this program.”

The East Hampton Food Pantry hopes to continue and expand upon SuperFood Day next year, collaborating with other schools until all the students and their families on the East End of Long Island are reached.

His name is practically synonymous with East End agriculture, and that’s no surprise, given he grew up on the family farm in Jamesport. After years of fighting for farmers Joe Gergela is retiring as executive director of the Long Island Farm Bureau.

Born in Greenport Hospital, Gergela was picking strawberries in the mornings before school when he was just six years old.

By the 1970s Gergela Farms grew from 35 acres to an over 200-acre operation growing everything from strawberries and potatoes to corn and cauliflower. Gergela attended St. Bonaventure University, but put his sophomore year on hold to help with the family farm.

In 1982, Gergela got involved with a young farmer program and became the Long Island representative for the state and was sent to work on the national young farmer committee.

East Hampton Town Building Inspector Quits

building department has declined; some builders are complaining building inspectors have been redirected to do code enforcement work, and there are delays getting permits as a result.

With one building inspector, Robert Fisher, suspended, the sudden resignation of Preiato leaves only Daniel Casey to shoulder the load; another inspector was fired recently.

Dave Betts, the town’s Public Safety Director, was the Code Enforcement Director in Southampton Town before taking his current post in East Hampton this year. Insiders say he has been a frequent presence in the building department and pushed for building inspectors to write code enforcement violations.

Building Department revenue is down 30 percent as a result, one source said.

Preiato’s resignation further complicates the town board’s insistence on pushing a rental registration law through. It would require inspections of residences that are earmarked for rentals. A similar registry in Southampton Town has proven to be ineffective; one published report said only about 10 percent of landlords have complied.

Preiato did not immediately return a phone call for comment yesterday morning.

A similar position in Sag Harbor currently pays $42,500; however, the building inspector in Sag has in the past doubled as North Haven Village Building Inspector as well.

Preiato was not a favorite of the new administration in East Hampton; Supervisor-elect Larry Cantwell said as much in an interview with The Independent last November, stating he “had concerns� about Preiato.

It is likely Councilwoman Sylvia Overby had the supervisor-elect’s ear; she’d been at odds with Preiato for some time. According to several impeccable sources, Overby was sternly rebuked by an investigator from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office for allegedly interfering with the Building Department’s affairs, specifically Preiato’s handling of the controversial Montauk Beach House.

Preiato was said to be seething of late because the town board has dragged its feet naming him as the permanent department head.

Preiato passed the test to become department head “with flying colors� a source said.

make more effort to “drive the money where it matters most,” Zeldin believes. The Ebola crisis highlights the need for cutting unnecessary spending to funnel money towards important programs and research.

But Zeldin isn’t too fond of protracted research. Asked to discuss coastal policy and the environment, he believes issues like the shoreline in Downtown Montauk have been studied “again and again and again.”

“Now,” he said, “It’s time to say ‘Show us the sand.’”

Asked to detail efforts he’s made on behalf of the environment in the state senate, Zeldin listed initiatives designed to improve waterways and the elimination of saltwater fishing fees.

Bishop detailed myriad projects he helped moved forward, such as the dredging of Montauk Harbor and the revision of the original plan for a revetment along the shore in Montauk. Quizzing his challenger, the congressman asked for an explanation of the low grade he was given by an environmental group.

Zeldin said the group held votes to repeal the MTA payroll tax and the saltwater fishing license fees against him. He’d vote for the repeal of those fees again, he said.

ISIS and immigrations are areas where the candidates’ opinions diverge. An audience member pointed to a “disturbing” mailer from the Republican National Committee accusing Bishop of threatening national security. The candidate believes ISIS cannot be eliminated militarily, “It can’t be done,” he said.

The mailer was based on Bishop’s vote in favor of transferring Guantanamo detainees to a Department of Defense prison where they can be housed at a significantly lower cost. Zeldin doesn’t support closing Guantanamo. He has little confidence in the Iraqi military and law enforcement the president appears to be relying on to combat ISIS. “They don’t fight for love of country,” the veteran said. When they’re in harm’s way, Zeldin said, they “lay down their arms.”

Asked about securing the borders, Bishop said the Republican majority in the House “refuses to deal with it.” Zeldin looked askance at trying to solve all the problems of immigration with one piece of legislation. Congress is trying to solve a thousand problems and “getting nothing done,” he said.

of constituent services when asked to explain the investigation of his actions undertaken by the House Ethics Committee. It was a “false, politically motivated accusation,” Bishop said. He asked involved agencies to move a constituent’s application to the top of the pile and would do the same for anyone who needed his help, he said.

Bishop and Zeldin aren’t the only candidates running for office during this midterm election season. Seats in the state senate and assembly are up for grabs, too.

All this talk about Ebola and enterovirus is making us all nervous, and with good reason.

from school. It was really easy to fake – just rub a leaf or something in your eye – and presto, you had two or three days off. I’m convinced 99 percent of the pink eye cases were faked. All I know is I had it 143 times in grammar school and haven’t had it since.

nine-year old. Basically, they gave you big, ugly pimples. Our mothers warned us if we scratched them we would be scarred for life.

The problem with that logic was all the teenagers in my Brooklyn neighborhood had bad acne, and they all ended up with pock marked faces anyhow. In other words, you were doomed to be ugly whether you scratched or not, so you might as well claw the hell out of them.

Apparently polio used to be rampant in our country until they developed a vaccine. The vaccine hurt like hell and left an ugly scar on you that got uglier every year.

Our parents each had a huge ugly scar on either side of the butt, the upper leg, and in some cases the arm.

Thus, when they developed vaccines for measles and chicken pox we viewed them with more than a little trepidation. There seemed something off-kilter about giving us a painful injection that would leave an ugly scar so we wouldn’t get ugly scars. It prompted me to suggest a vaccine for vaccines so we wouldn’t have to get any more.

Measles weren’t half as bad as German measles, which were transmitted by close contact with Nazis like Colonel Klink. German measles were extremely harmful to fetuses, we were warned. Luckily we didn’t have any fetuses in my neighborhood that I could tell – we were mostly Irish and Italian.

was in the movie The Andromeda Strain and the people wearing them were dropping like flies. Unlike Ebola and enterovirus, though, the infected people were all located in Piedmont, New Mexico so no one noticed they were missing. It turned out they were dying from some mutation of an unknown alien.

Speaking of mutations, Arianna Huffington published an article last week – or should I say she posted an article ridiculing Rand Paul for stating Ebola was highly contagious.

HuffPo/AP reported, “World health authorities have been clear that Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids, and that blood, vomit and feces carry the most virus.” No, that’s AIDS, Arianna, and get that thing in the middle of your face treated before the infection spreads (oh sorry, that’s your nose).

According to the Center For Disease Control, which probably knows as much about these things as the Huffington Post, Ebola is spread through “close contact” as defined by three feet or less.

That means you can be passing someone with Ebola in an airport or supermarket and boom! you get it, or even worse, a big ugly nose suddenly sprouts out of your face.

Another article making the rounds is “Here’s What No One Is Telling You About Ebola” written by a trained Hazmat technician, Abby Norman. She wrote: “Ebola is brilliant. It is a superior virus that has evolved and fine-tuned its mechanism of transmission to be near perfect. That’s why we’re all so terrified. We know we can’t destroy it. All we can do is try to divert it, outrun it.”

In other words, this ain’t pink eye. A couple days home from school won’t make it go away.

There’s a lot more to worry about than pimples on your face.

It would be nice if they had a vaccine for it, but medical researchers – even the experts at the Huffington Post – haven’t been able to come up with one. All we can do is stay out of populated areas and pray like hell we don’t get any cases of German Ebola.

EDITORIAL

Playing Roulette With Our Lives The federal government’s initial failure to aggressively respond to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa is nothing short of a national outrage, and it has put every citizen of this country in danger.

It’s been six months since Ebola began spreading out of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. During that time dozens of nations have banned travelers from those areas.

The United States stubbornly refuses to do so, for reasons unknown to everyone but President Obama.

The government claims about 150 people come to this country each week from the affected area, and 94 percent come into major airports where they are screened.

That leaves, by that calculation, about nine people a week coming in completely unchecked, not to mention those coming across our notoriously porous borders. But Congressman Peter King says more than 100 people a day are coming in from West Africa to Kennedy Airport alone.

Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, should be fired immediately. He claimed in Washington earlier this week that there is “zero percent” there would be an Ebola epidemic here, echoing comments made by Obama. Now it has been learned that The Defense Threat Reduction Agency and the federal government’s Models of Infectious Disease Agency co-funded a September 2 analysis on the threat of Ebola’s spread to the United States.

The analysis found a nearly 25 percent “probability of Ebola virus disease case

Independent VOICES

Deemed A Drain?

To the Editor, Poring through municipal documents can be enlightening, particularly when policy is disguised in the spreadsheets of a budget. We are all aware that East Hampton’s Airport is a lightning rod when discussed, but what conclusions can be drawn from a budget that expects an 18.34 percent increase in revenue from a facility.

Fuel fees have been increased so that prices are higher than every other airport, excepting Westhampton, within 50 miles yet the profit accruing to the town is expected to rise to $246,000 in 2015.

Landing fees are expected to rise by over $300,000 in 2015, rentals and leases by $120,000 and advertising income by $27,000. The percentage increases in revenue are 24, 27 and 117 percent respectively.

A conservative or realistic look at the figures would say they are optimistic.

If they are not met, the airport will be deemed a drain on East Hampton town because they do not balance the 18.34

importation” to the United States within three to six weeks. Obama was reportedly told on September 2. Nevertheless, the President falsely said on September 16 that experts “across our government” agree, “America’s Ebola vulnerability was extremely low.”

The report, as it turned out, was chillingly accurate. Worse, Obama is reportedly mulling allowing non-U.S. citizens with Ebola into our country for treatment. Should this occur and an epidemic break out it would be an impeachable offense.

Meanwhile, the CDC gave a nurse exposed to Ebola permission to take a commercial airline flight. Now the agency says it is looking for passengers on that flight. Duh! Those people have deboarded — in a major airport, no less, and each has gone on to rub shoulders with hundreds of other people, shop at Wal-Marts and in supermarkets, and board other airplanes. In other words, it may already be too late.

Two of the major airports in this country are on Long Island. Both Kennedy and La Guardia have passengers from West Africa arriving daily. That means people who live or visit the Hamptons are in contact with possible Ebola carriers.

Obama, after realizing his public opinion is in free fall after yet another embarrassing lack of leadership, is feigning concern – that’s not enough.

Congressman Tim Bishop, who usually marches in step with Obama, has called for Congressional action. He needs to assert himself further on this issue and call for travel restrictions to be implemented immediately. As for Freiden, our prediction is he won’t last another month. Let’s hope it’s not too late by then.

percent increase in expenditures that the town board is proposing. Why all the extra spending?

This is not a pro or con airport question, or an entry in the nuisance/noise issues discussion. Supervisor Cantwell’s budget message provides no explanation for why he is pumping up spending at the Airport by over $750,000 out of a total proposed 2015 increase of $2,049,505.

This disproportionate number ought to be examined by all interested parties.

Brazen Use Dear Editor, Kitty Merrill, in her otherwise excellent report on Tom Knobel’s analysis of the gimmicks in East Hampton Town Supervisor Cantwell’s budget, says that the EH Republican Committee has been “predominantly silent since Cantwell took office.”

Now it’s true that we are not as loud and disruptive as our Democrat counterparts tend to be, but here’s a partial list of the issues we’ve been writing letters about and discussing at town board meetings and other community gatherings: the board’s habit of paying exorbitant prices for CPF purchases; opposition to unfair laws about workingmen parking their trucks on their property; the lack of progress on Montauk erosion; the need for public access to the beach at Dolphin Drive; opposition to draconian rental registry laws, etc.

A great deal of our energy has been devoted to getting Lee Zeldin elected to Congress. Polls show that a growing majority of Americans are fed up with the lies, the incompetence, the unfulfilled promises and the scandals of the Obama Administration. Whatever your Party, we need a representative who will vote to stop the Obama trainwreck before it can do any more damage -- on medical care, on the border, on energy, on the Middle East, you name it.

Tim Bishop has been 100 percent supportive of the Obama agenda and silent about its scandals, including even its incredibly brazen use of the IRS and the subsequent cover-up, an abuse of power that dwarfs Watergate as a threat to traditional American liberties. When all those IRS agents claimed that their emails and hard drives had crashed or disappeared, Tim Bishop did nothing.

My bet is that Lee Zeldin would demand answers.

Kitty, you’re probably wishing by now that I had remained silent, but I welcome the opportunity to try to convince you that Lee Zeldin is the right choice.

What’s your favorite music?

Lisa Charde I’m very eclectic in my musical taste. But when I’m feeling like I need something to make me feel better, then it would be James Taylor. The first time I heard him I was probably only 10 years old. I’ve always loved his music.

Dajay Scarlatto I listen to a lot of different kinds of music. But I mostly listen to Rap and Soft Rock. And I also listen to Alternative and Techno. But if I was really feeling down I guess I’d listen to Drake.

John Baron Led Zeppelin is my favorite. I think I’ve always been a Led Zeppelin Fan. The first song I probably heard was “Ocean.” I was at a friend’s house listening to it on an actual old vinyl album. Classic Rock and Roll and more modern Rock are most of what I listen to.

Ashton Ellis Chris Brown. He’s been my favorite since I was pretty young. He’s just dropped a new album and I’ve been listening to that a lot. It’s called “X.” It’s a great album. It’s kind of like his other albums but it’s really great.

number one voting issue. This has been the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression. Small business, which is the engine for job growth and economic recovery has been stifled by regulations and policies supported by Congressmen Bishop and the Democratic Party. The NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business) has given Rep. Bishop a rating of only 21 percent. So the ads run by Bishop don’t seem to match his voting record.

Bishop voted for and vocally supports Obamacare. He even called it “key to fiscal stability.” However, it has led to small businesses cutting jobs and their medical coverage plans. It has been a job killer.

Lee Zeldin helped secure the repeal of the MTA payroll tax which the NFIB say has helped small businesses and the middle class. We need more pro-business elected officials in Congress. Congressmen Bishop supports policies that are taking us in the wrong direction. This was not the

change we were promised six years ago.

It’s time for real change. Vote Zeldin and put America back to work and on the right track again. Your vote matters!

You’d think that our President would implement both a travel ban and strict border controls to prevent people from bringing the disease here.

travel ban.

So, why don’t we have a travel ban and secure borders?

Because we’ve got an Open Borders President, and an Open Borders Congress.

They all ignore the threat of imported infectious diseases. The State Department continues to hand out new travel visas to people in Ebola-stricken countries - 100 per day - with over 13,000 such travel visas issued. Even if we pretend that Mr. Obama’s “Ebola Czar” could screen foreign passengers at airports (all they need to do is lie and take Ibuprofen) the bigger threat is our unprotected Southern border.

General John Kelly may be the only person in official Washington who “gets it.”The decorated four-star Marine Corps General responsible for Southern Command recently went public with his well-founded fears. General Kelly warned that illegal African immigrants are already streaming over our southern border. Should Ebola break out in Latin America, General Kelly warned, “it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door.’

They will run away from Ebola, or if they suspect they are infected, they will try to get to the United States for treatment.”

Never heard of Enterovirus D-68? The Pentagon knows all about it.

Last year’s Department of Defense study warned it is deadly, widespread in Latin America and targets young children.

CDC knows all about Enterovirus D-68 too. Dr. Anne Schuchat recently said “CDC has received substantially more specimens for enterovirus lab testing than usual this year, due to the large outbreak of EV-D68 and related hospitalizations.”

Enterovirus D-68, like Ebola, is a foreign disease imported into this country by people. It has been allowed to spread to 46 states, with over 500 reported cases and over half a dozen deaths.

In case you forgot, last summer the Open Borders Obama Administration welcomed 65,000 “unaccompanied minors” from Latin America, where Enterovirus D-68 is common - to enter without medical screening. These “unaccompanied minors” were then spread across the United States where many are now enrolled in our public schools.

Remember this warning, as the weather turns cold, America will witness an epidemic of Enterovirus D-68 that will kill or paralyze many Americans, especially children.

When this happens, know that Enterovirus D-68, like Ebola, is a foreign disease brought into America by the Open Borders crowd. No matter how they spin

When they seek re-election, they must be tossed out of office and our borders finally secured.

Numbers Fudged Dear Editor, A year later and here we are again about to vote on the Southampton/Tuckahoe school merger. One of the items in the new combined budget is adding seven new buses at the price of $100k per bus. I just spoke with the head of the transportation department at Southampton School District. She said that the new buses cost $106,813 per bus. The district is off on the projected cost by $47,691. This leads me to think what other numbers are being fudged

by Southampton School District. Currently, the district has a fleet of 48 buses.

When I questioned the head of the transportation department, she said that there is no room at the bus facility for seven additional large busses. Some of the bus drivers are now parking their cars on the shoulder, where would any additional cars park? Logistics and money, two items that should be perfected before moving forward in any merger.

One of the many reasons to vote “NO” on the school merger.

LORI TUTT (Editor’s Note: It is reminiscent of the time a few years back when East Hampton School District bought a bus fleet to “save” money. A couple years later the district tried to get voters to approve $3 million for a new facility to put the buses in. Voters turned it down by an 80-20 percent margin and the school superintendent left town in a huff. They never learn.)

ago, and they are carrying on the tradition.”

Gergela has lived with diabetes since he was a boy. He’s had open heart surgery and a kidney transplant. Noting the illness this week, the executive director said he felt it was time to retire. Of the NFEC award, he said, “I’m very honored and look forward to a fun evening.

I’ll see a lot of friends there.”

“Friends” hasn’t always been a word that described the relationship between environmentalists and f a r m e r s . R e c e n t l y, h o w e v e r, Gergela said, “We’ve been able to have conversations abut the environmental aspects of agriculture.” A spirit of cooperation has been forged as well as, he said, “An understanding that farms, agriculture, people and business are all part of the environment and need each other.”

Recognition of Gergela’s efforts will be part of NFEC’s annual chili night fundraiser at Martha Clara Vineyards in Riverhead Friday night.

From 7 to 9:30 PM area eateries will compete for best chili, best specialty chili, and people’s choice awards.

Tickets will be available at the door for $45 per person, but if purchased in advance – either online at EventBrite or through the NFEC website, or by calling the NFEC offices to reserve your spots – there is a $5 discount.

Admission includes a complimentary glass of wine and a chance to sample the chili entries, in addition to cornbread, salad and dessert. There also will be a raffle of donations made by supporting businesses and friends of the NFEC, as well as music by Tony Nish.

This past summer, residents from all corners of Tuckahoe petitioned against the project, with over 800 signatures collected against the proposal.

Residents and members of a citizens group called the Friends of Sandy Hollow filed the suit, charging the town board’s approval of the proposal violated the State Environmental Quality Review Act. For months now, dozens of naysayers have publicly expressed their objections to the apartment complex, citing overcrowding, sewage and drainage problems, unsafe and increased traffic, and wildlife issues as major concerns.

Southampton-based attorney Nica B. Strunk, representing the plaintiffs, said the town failed to do “any study that would support this type of development in this area.”

East Islip Surprises Blue Waves

the Waves took the field at home Saturday.

Unfortunately, the visitors didn’t read the script. East Islip, coming into town with a 3-2 mark, had upset on their minds, and why not? The Redmen have the second stingiest defense in the league behind undefeated Bellport – something Riverhead found out the hard way.

After three quarters of play the Blue Waves were still looking for their first score despite a powerful offense that usually hums along on the ground and through the air.

The Redmen surprised the locals early when Jake Piacenti slipped behind the defense and scored on a well-placed bullet from quarterback

Jack Hannigan.

The defense set up another touchdown in the second when Jack Sihpol intercepted a Ken Simco pass.

The visitors scored yet again early in the fourth, taking a 2-0 lead with just over nine minutes left.

Riverhead battled back. Ryun Moore scored on a 99-yard kickoff return to put Riverhead on the board and then Ethan Greenidge scored on an interception return to make things interesting. In fact, the locals were in position to tie or even win the game with a minute left.

Ultimately, the Riverhead offense sputtered, and the Redmen’s ability to keep Moore, an all-star tailback, in check was the key. Without the running game, Simco and the air attack were contained as well. Waves coach Leif Shay diplomatically pointed out his team

was down two starting offensive lineman – they were sorely missed.

Regardless, the locals gave up four turnovers, and that was too many to overcome. Riverhead fell to 4-2, one of four teams tied for fourth place in Division II. The locals try to regroup against North Babylon at home at 2 PM Saturday.

In o t he r E ast E n d ac t i o n , Southampton/Ross knocked off Wyandanch 28-26 for its second win of the season. Matt Woolley ran for three scores for the winners.

Wyandanch fell to 0-6 in Division IV. Southampton/Ross plays at Center Moriches next Friday evening.

going to happen soon, or possibly ever. The League just signed a new nine year/$24 billion TV deal, with the understanding that teams will play 82 game regular seasons, and last 48 minutes each.

As I mentioned earlier, while I believe there are ways around that, the entire proposition could be too messy to seriously consider at this time. But, commissioner Adam Silver and the NBA should be lauded for considering a concept that is foreign to the NFL, MLB, and NHL: that less, can really end up being more.

four playoff series, and can result in burnt-out stars come May. It’s possible that shortening the NBA game will never happen, because it could mean less money in the owners’ and players’ pockets.

But, I am not convinced that has to be the case. Yes, less timeouts would mean fewer commercials for the networks and their sponsors.

But, if the networks have less commercial time, then, in theory,

each commercial is more valuable and worth more money. The sponsors could spend the same amount of money overall, paying more per spot, while having less commercials. Plus, if the popularity of the sport and the ratings increase, wouldn’t that be worth it to advertisers?

In addition to a better game flow, there would be even greater star power. If James averages 37 minutes/game, that’s 78 percent of a 48-minute game, compared to 85 percent of a 44 minute game.

The more of Lebron James, Kevin Durant, and Dwight Howard we can watch on a nightly basis, instead of back-ups and third stringers, is beneficial to the League and fans.

There’s no need to believe a change to a 44-minute game is

e en

The NBA took a big first step this past weekend. The Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics participated in an experimental, 44-minute preseason game on Sunday at Barclays Center. The teams played four 11-minute quarters, instead of the usual 12 minutes. Also, two timeouts were eliminated from the game, the third mandatory timeout in the second and fourth quarters.

The result? A game that lasted 1 hour, 58 minutes, which is 15-30 minutes shorter than the typical 48-minute game. The NBA deserves credit for trending in the opposite direction of the rest of the sports world.

While games in all major American professional sports continue to get longer, the NBA is the only League taking a serious look at shortening the games. It used to be an anomaly for an NFL game to be longer than three hours, but the average game in 2013 was over three hours and ten minutes.

They even moved kickoff from 4 PM to 4:25 PM on some games, knowing the 1 PM match ups are no longer over by 4 PM. Major League Baseball’s popularity has taken a major blow with games sometimes lasting up for four hours. They can thank an obsessive number of pitching changes, too many mound visits, and batters stepping out of the box far too frequently. Football hasn’t seen a dip in national ratings, yet, but baseball certainly has.

The NBA seems to be taking a page out of soccer’s book; a sport with growing popularity, specifically with millennials. Most games are completed in about two hours, appealing to diminishing attention spans in our society. Between TV and coaches timeouts, the end of NBA games can drag, and extend a 48-minute tilt into two and a half hours of real time.

A 44-minute game would not only give the game a better pace and flow, it would keep players fresher.

The NBA is a grueling 82-game regular season, followed by up to
