Teen Killed In Village Crash

By Kitty Merrill

It was supposed to be a time of celebration and new beginnings for Anna Mirabai Lytton. A 14-year-old Springs resident, Anna was just a week away from her graduation from Springs School. She’d just started a summer job at her mother’s yoga studio in Amagansett and was set to enter the ninth grade at Ross School this fall.

For kids her age, it’s supposed to be a time of graduation parties and summer fun, with all the exciting possibilities of a high school career laid out before them.

But Anna will be denied all those things. She died Saturday after she was struck while riding her bicycle on Montauk Highway near Gay Lane in East Hampton Village.

Over the weekend, as family and friends gathered at her parents’ home to offer sympathy and support, officials at Springs School composed their own statements of condolence.

“Anna was a student who always brought a smile to everyone’s face,” Springs School Principal Eric Casale wrote in a letter to the school community posted in the district website. “She was a gentle soul who

cared so much for others. Whether you were her friend, her classmate or an adult, Anna always greeted you with a smile and a friendly and genuine ‘hello.’ Her smile was infectious to the point that when you saw Anna smile, you could not help but join her. That was the type of person Anna was and will always be remembered as.”

He continued, “Anna loved her family and her friends. She was always the one who would be around to support her classmates when they needed it. She was a bright, shining star in our hallways that made all of us who knew her better because she brought out the best in people. Anna loved art and was a wonderful writer.”

Superintendent Dominic Mucci also offered a statement, reminding parents that the school has a crisis team in place to assist students who may need counseling.

On Monday afternoon Anna’s family circulated an email, designed to share the “terrible and tragic news.”

“Anna was a remarkable young woman whose shining light continues to burn in our hearts,”

family members said.

The accident occurred at about 1:25 PM on Saturday in East Hampton Village. Anna was travelling west on Montauk Highway, when she attempted to cross over the roadway near the CVS drug store. She was struck by a 2002 Ford Explorer driven by Maria Brennan, 73, of East Hampton. According to Village Police Chief Jerry Larsen the point of impact was the center of the front hood of the Explorer. Anna was pinned underneath the vehicle, which continued moving along the road for about 20 feet before stopping. She wasn’t wearing a helmet.

Good Samaritans at the scene, about a half dozen of them, lifted the vehicle off the child. She was taken by ambulance to the East Hampton Airport, then medivacced to University Hospital at Stony Brook. “She died soon afterwards despite all the medical efforts to save her life. Her mother Kate and brother James were with her when she passed away peacefully in her mother’s arms,” the family’s statement reports.

Montauk Highway was closed

for over three hours as police conducted an investigation into the fatal MVA. The vehicle was impounded for a safety inspection and Brennan was issued a citation at the scene for “failure to exercise due care.”

Anna is survived by her mother Ka t e R a b i n o w i t z , h e r f a t h e r Rameshwar Das, and her brother James Lytton. Much of the family, including Anna’s grandparents Alan and Andrea Rabinowitz are with them in East Hampton, as are four aunts and uncles.

As of press time, memorial arrangements were not finalized.

See page 40 for a memorial essay written by her parents. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Shlomo is the sweetest dog and the love of my life. When I sit down to watch television he jumps onto my lap and we watch together until one or both of us falls asleep.

Sometimes it’s 1AM and Jimmy Fallon is on and I wake up and say, “Wake up, Shlomo, it’s bedtime,” and since dogs can’t tell time he jumps down from my lap, looks up and greets me, tail wagging, as though I had just walked into the room.

Then when I climb into bed Shlomo falls asleep on the floor on my side of the bed.

Lately I have been awakened from a sound sleep by a strong smell that threatens to peel the paint off my bedroom walls. Shlomo has flatulence and it’s not noisy but instead, out of nowhere, one is overwhelmed by this incredible odor.

If any of you reading this has a cure for doggie flatulence, please send me an email. Hurry, it’s getting pretty bad. My biggest fear is that Shlomo’s condition will become as bad as my old dog’s, the late but unlamented Oreo. While Shlomo loves people, Oreo was a real bitch and she hated people.

hilarious, embarrassing moment.

My favorite one took place on a Sunday afternoon many, many years ago when I decided to take Oreo for a walk on Madison Avenue.

I ran into a woman I know ever so slightly, who is something of a snob.

She is very rich, very waspy and very proper.

The woman took one look at Oreo and said, “What a cute little dog.” She then knelt to pet her and that’s when Oreo let loose.

The smell hit the woman first and I saw a look of pain on her face. By the time it came up to me I looked down in horror at the woman. Did she think it was me?

Of course the woman was thinking I thought it was her. It’s that silent stuff that’s so hard to trace and so deadly.

I started looking at my shoe.

“Did I step on something?” I asked too loudly. “Maybe it was me,” she said, looking at her heel. Oreo just stared at the two of us. Can dogs smile? I thought she had a smile on her muzzle.

Then I said, “It could be the cheese. I’ve been feeding her sliced Velveeta cheese, as a treat.”

“Oh,” said the woman nervously, “I have a problem when I eat cheese, too.” Now, this is a very attractive woman and this was more than I wanted to know about her digestive system.

Oreo let loose again. The woman looked like she was going to throw up.

“I think I had better go now,” I said.

The woman, holding her breath, said, “I’m late.”

“So am I,” I said.

Then, after an awkward second, which seemed like an hour, we went our separate ways.

As I turned around I started to giggle. I think I heard her giggle, too. I haven’t seen her since.

If you have that doggy flatulence cure, please hurry.

Campaign 2013

Independence Party Announces Southampton Candidates

By Emily Toy

T h e S o u t h a m p t o n To w n Independence Party announced its endorsed candidates for this year’s election last Friday.

The party chair for the town, Assemblyman Fred Thiele, introduced the candidates, which include a mix of its own registered members (four), as well as Democrats (four) and Republicans (three).

“This year we had a large pool of great candidates who screened with our committee,” Thiele said.

“I am thrilled to present a very experienced, knowledgeable, and diverse group of candidates who I know, will lead Southampton Town on a great path.”

For the town board, the party endorsed two of its own with Anna Throne-Holst (I-Noyac) for supervisor and Brad Bender (I-Northampton) for town council.

“I am truly honored to run on the ticket for Southampton Town Board with a stellar Council slate that genuinely represents Public Service, not politics,” said ThroneHolst. “Our multi party affiliation also reinforces our commitment to representing all constituents regardless of who they are, where they live, what their need or party affiliation might be.”

Bender was the running mate of Throne-Holst and Councilwoman Bridget Fleming in 2011. He lost out to Republican Councilwoman Christine Scalera.

“As a known community leader, it’s not about being on the left or right,” Bender said. “It’s about serving the public.”

The party also endorsed Democrat (and current Deputy Supervisor) Frank Zappone for the second town council seat on the ballot.

“I am proud to stand with the other candidates nominated by the Independence Party,” said Zappone.

“We represent a group of men and women who have demonstrated a commitment to the same goalserving the public.”

For County Legislator, Jay Schneiderman, a registered Independence Party member, was endorsed by his party. He is being challenged by Republican Councilman Chris Nuzzi, who has hit his term limit.

“I am running on my record of accomplishment for the South Fork,” Schneiderman said. “I am pleased to run alongside such a qualified slate of candidates.”

Republican Town Clerk Sundy Schermeyer received the nomination from the Independence Party. She is

running unchallenged in her bid for re-election.

“Fred Thiele has always been an advocate in the Assembly for issues facing the Town Clerk’s Office and now as the Southampton Independence Party Chairman, I appreciate his party’s support for my nomination to run for a third term as Southampton’s Town Clerk,” Schermeyer said.

Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor, an Independence Party member, received a nomination from his party as well as from the Democats. He’s being challenged

by Republican-endorsed candidate David Betts.

“I look forward to continuing the

work I have undertaken to improve the road system for the residents of Southampton Town,” Gregor said.

The Independence Party has endorsed four candidates for five trustee seats. Of the four picked, there are two incumbents: Bill Pell, an Independence Party member,

and Eric Shultz, a Democrat. Also receiving Independence nods are Scott Horowitz, an East Quogue Republican, who is making his second consecutive run for trustee, and Howard Pickerell, of North Sea, a Democrat.

With campaign season getting underway, candidates on both sides of the aisle in East Hampton are lasering in on the hot button topics of storm mitigation and housing.

disaster recovery.

“When I first announced my candidacy on April 12,” he wrote in a statement released last Wednesday.

“I spoke specifically about the need for the Town of East Hampton to prepare a Hazard Mitigation and Recovery Plan to better protect our community from the impacts of coastal storms and plan for recovery in case of a catastrophic event caused by a hurricane.”

Characterizing Hurricane Irene and Super Storm Sandy as “a wakeup call,” Cantwell called upon the community to be proactive and “better plan for ways to prepare for the global changes in climate, the possibility of more frequent storm events, and sea-level rise.”

Cantwell announced the creation of a state Hazard Mitigation Grant Program that will provide over $500 million to assist local governments and non-profit organizations and pay 75 percent of the cost to prepare Hazard Mitigation and Recovery Plans.

“I urge the Town Board to submit a grant application to fund the cost of a professional plan employing expert advice to work together with our fire departments, non-for-profit organizations, town personnel, and the community to develop a plan to help protect our town,” he wrote, concluding, “I believe this is a tremendous opportunity to identify hazards and areas of vulnerability along our coast so we can take positive action in advance of serious storms and hurricane events in the future. In addition we should be anticipating the potential damage from catastrophic disasters and develop a plan of action for recovery.”

A photo taken with long time Mulford Lane, Lazy Point resident Ginny Bennis illustrates just one aspect of storm mitigation and recovery that could be included in the plan. A home on pilings is seen far out into the water. “It was once on dry land,” Cantwell pointed out.

He believes the pursuit of federal funding to help cover the cost of removing homes that are no longer viable could be part of a Hazard Mitigation and Recovery plan.

There’s a “whole list” of items, such as identifying essential infrastructure that is most vulnerable, that could help the town prepare better, he said.

Next week the Democratic candidates will kick off a town wide listening tour in Springs.

When it comes to the hamlet, one of the most-debated issues is illegal, overcrowded houses.

their thoughts, concerns and aspirations about living in Springs and what they think town government can do to improve the quality of life in the Springs community.

Speaking for herself and her running mates, Burke-Gonzalez noted, “Listening to the community has been central to my idea of the way government should work since I got elected to the Springs School Board nine years ago. It is the key to being a good legislator and supporter of the community. We are there to listen and we trust that the Springs voters will have a lot to say.”

The Springs Forum promises to be the first of a series of Hamlet “Listen Ins” that the Democratic Ticket will be holding throughout East Hampton during the course of this year’s election campaign.

Shark tourney participants with their big fish, and (top, right), the backbone of the Star Island Grill, Tony, Molly, and Patty Sales.

SIYC Tourney: Makos, Mudslides & Moolah

By Kitty Merrill

The weather was looking pretty grim last Thursday, as participants began to arrive for the 27th annual Star Island Yacht Club Shark Tournament in Montauk. But, as unfriendly as the wind and seas seemed, the atmosphere inside the Star Island Grill was warm and convivial.

Bar and restaurant manager Patty Sales kept the giant Island Oasis uber-blender buzzing, making mudslides for thirsty boaters. Mudslides?

What, no Pink Ladies? An obser ver noted the popular blender drink hardly seemed a libation apt for manly men about to test their mettle at sea. “It coats the stomach for later,” said Sales with the save.

According to General Manager Rich Janis, a high wind and high

seas weather forecast trimmed the participation level down to 93 boats. The tournament was filmed

by Red-Line productions for a threetournament series to be aired by NBC sports in late July. Camera crews met with anglers aboard the Bella Donna, Fish-On, Tiger Shark, and Crack-Oar. Day One, Friday, saw the starting time pushed back to 8 AM to give the seas and winds a chance to subside during the afternoon.

Twenty-one boats broke the inlet that first morning with some boats headed to Montauk Point and others headed inshore to enter the Atlantic via Shinnecock Inlet.

The lone qualifying fish of the day, a 218lb Blue Shark was landed aboard Capt. Kenny Hajduek’s My Joyce II by angler Kevin Adley. The crew earned a total of $90,400 in prize money for their efforts.

Anglers woke up to a gentle, 10knot breeze with brilliant sunshine on Day Two. An additional $232,000 in unclaimed prize money was on the line. The committee boat, the Lil Marlena with a camera crew aboard headed out to the starting line to film the “shot gun” start. The full fleet headed out as the time was announced. No one was going to be left at the dock.

Early reports of makos aboard the Joy Sea and the Bella Donna had the tournament committee buzzing. Normally, early to midJune tournaments bring a high number of Blue Sharks and low catches of Makos and Threshers, so this was great news.

The first fish of the day to reach the scales was a 203lb Blue Shark landed by Sam Bajarktarevic aboard the Knot-On-Call. The second fish Continued on Page 27.

Septic Rebate A Success, So Far

By Emily Toy

Southampton Town Councilwoman Christine Scalera’s Septic Rebate Incentive Program has had a good turn out with support and interest coming from residents.

The program also got a boost from the allotted $50,000 that has helped 16 homeowners voluntarily upgrade their current system. The last rebate was distributed at the beginning of the month and the program has been exhausted of its current funding. “ We w e r e a b l e t o h e l p homeowners upgrade their current system to one that will further enhance water quality, which is key to maintaining the integrity of the Town’s coastal areas and aquifers,” said Scalera last Thursday. “The fact that the funding depleted after only three weeks proves that homeowners are willing to upgrade, by providing this incentive to our residents.”

Homeowners in East Quogue, Flanders, Hampton Bays, North Sea, Noyac, Sag Harbor, and

Westhampton were the recipients of the first round of funding. The money was distributed on a first come first serve basis, according to Chief Building Inspector Mike Benincasa. Those who applied but did not receive a rebate will be the first eligible when further funding is secured.

The initiative was completed as part of the Water Quality Protection Fund Scalera sponsored in the late party of 2012, according to a press release from town hall. The septic rebate legislation allowed for residents to receive up to 50 percent of the cost of the upgrade, and up to 60 percent for residents who reside in critical watershed areas within 200 feet of a body of water.

“While ultimately, I believe a regional approach is what is going to be needed to address this critical issue, I believe this is a good first step and I will continue to seek out other funding sources and grants to replenish the program,” said Scalera.

Ebook Author Penkower And His Predicaments

By Kitty Merrill

Mark Penkower has wanted to write a book since he was 11 years old. The electronic age made that possible. An IT expert, he said “I didn’t want to be typecast as a guy who helps people with their computer problems. I wanted to be more.”

Shortly after New Year’s 2012, “I was thinking that I hadn’t accomplished enough in life. I then decided to sit down and write the book.”

A part-time Springs resident, Penkower, 46, had been reading books on Kindle since the technology first erupted. “I noticed a lot of independent authors on there,” he said, explaining how the idea of self publishing was born.

Aware that it simply wasn’t economically feasible to selfpublish a book the traditional way, Penkower began researching online. He found copy editors on a site for an editors’ guild. He found proofreaders online as well. He had an artist friend craft a cover by photoshopping royalty free art he purchased.

It took him about two and a half months to write Tanya’s Predicaments, which he categorizes as a spy novel/ action/adventure. It took another three months to complete the rewriting and editing process and get the 91-page novel ready to upload.

The author described the story: “Tanya is a tall, fit blond. She looks good and handles herself well. She is also a world-class mathematician and an excellent problem solver.

How she came to her current position is still a bit of a mystery.

She had once wished for a simple

existence, but her interests breed complexity. Follow the international whirlwind and see how she deals with her predicaments.”

Penkower thought he would spend between $500 and $600 to complete the project, but figures he ultimately shelled out about $1100, mostly for editing and cover art. His book is available on Amazon, Apple, and the Barnes & Noble websites.

Amazon gives authors 70 percent of domestic books sales for offerings costing over $2.99.

Asked whether the novel has achieved success, Penkower was succinct – “It’s not selling very well.” His marketing plan was comprised of paying a blogger to review the book. She posted a less than stellar critique. “I let it stand,” he said. “I felt even bad publicity is better than no publicity at all.”

Undeterred by the tepid response, Penkower is writing a sequel to Tanya’s Predicaments, that he expects to release by the end of this summer. In fact, he said he would recommend other would-be authors give publishing an ebook a shot. “But they have to understand, when you’re starting out, you can’t expect economic success. You have to write for other reasons,” he said.

P e n k o w e r w r o t e Ta n y a ’ s Predicaments because, “I wanted my readers to have that sense of being taken away. I have had a few of those responses, but not enough.”

According to the website infodocket, data from the Association of American Publishers reported the sale of ebooks comprised nearly 23 percent of publisher net revenues in 2012, up from 17 percent the prior year. In 2008, ebook sales accounted for just one percent of net revenue. Children’s ebooks made the greatest gains last year, up 120 percent to $233 million. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Independent Viewpoints

Growing Up In Coney Island

By Ira Barocas

Growing up in Coney Island, the most frequently heard parental admonition was “Play nice!” -positive shorthand for “don’t fight, don’t break anything, don’t be selfish or disrespectful or too loud, get along, have a good time, avoid getting hurt and don’t leave a mess.”

It was good advice then, and remains so now. East Hampton, now under its usual summer siege, could certainly use a big dose of the spirit of “play nice.” And, unfortunately, so can our local government.

The spirit of cooperative play central to the homespun command is fundamental to many of our nation’s most successful businesses, why not our government? Google comes to mind first, but many other companies have learned that in many endeavors the combination of a playful work environment, often in a campus setting, fosters collaboration, and spurs creativity.

The result is growth, effective problem solving and continued

achievement.

East Hampton is faced with a number of complicated issues that demand attention, and each of our hamlets likewise has its own unique issues. For instance, working diligently, albeit largely on his own, Super visor [Bill] Wilkinson has been able to secure the promise of federal funding to restore storm ravaged Montauk and other beaches. Unfortunately, it won’t help at all in the short term, and we need an effective and immediate solution as Montauk business owners and residents

would no doubt agree.

Some advocate doing whatever is necessary in the short term, but an effective response probably requires not only the budget, but the science that can underpin, or at least reassure us, that spending what we need to in Montauk, Ditch Plains, or wherever, is not a futile effort given the scope and likely success of the work in achieving the goal. While time is part of the equation, so is the moment.

Will waiting better mitigate the problems at Ditch? Or will the sand we spread wash away in days?

What Do You Think?

Opinions are like arteries, everybody’s got ‘em. And The Independent would love to see yours -- opinion, that is.

The Independent invites you and your organization to share your views on this page. If you’d like to offer an op-ed, pick a topic, any topic topical to the East End, and send in an essay for publication. Let’s say about 500 words. Include a phone number and a short blurb about you or your organization and viola! You’re a star!!

Email kmerrill@indyeastend.com with your copy. Call 631-324-2500 with questions. No candidates for elected office or their handlers, please.

We’ll provide another forum for campaign debate.

These are all valid questions, and getting to yes on that score seems to pose a problem.

Waste water management, another issue with Gordian complexity seems to be becoming divided between the poles of “plan for what’s necessary,” or “fight the rules!” It certainly seems that some collaboration is in order, particularly since in the environment we all cherish is the essential reason we are here, mostly “local by choice” at that.

Our hamlets’ citizen advisory committees identify local issues at each of their meetings. Public comment is a part of every town board meeting. It is our elected officials’ collective responsibility to consider them, and mostly they do. But it is only if these worthy officials can learn to “play nice” that we may be able to craft creative, effective, amenable and affordable solutions.

Ira Barocas, a resident of Springs, is the president of the Duck Creek Farm Association.

By Miles X. Logan

Stony Brook Surgeon Dana Telem, MD, has implanted the first diaphragm pacing system for an ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) patient on Long Island. Famed chef Gerry Hayden, co-owner of the North Fork Table & Inn of Southold received the implanted device on March 8 at Stony Brook University Hospital.

Called the NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System (DPS), the device assists the breathing of individuals who develop chronic hypoventilation from ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), allowing them to breathe for a longer period without the assistance of mechanical ventilators.

Hayden, a three-time James Beard Foundation Award finalist for best chef in the Northeastern U.S. and the only chef from Long Island ever nominated for the award, said he hopes the device will extend his ability to use his diaphragm to breathe on his own by as much as 16 months. He suffers weakness on the right side of his diaphragm muscle, he said. Ten days after the procedure, he was already able to use the device for three to four hours a day; his goal through conditioning is to be able to use it around the clock. Currently, his breathing is assisted by a Bilateral Positive Airway Pressure (BPAP) device while he sleeps.

“I hope that this will prolong my diaphragm so that it can continue to work on its own,” he said. “I was very happy I was a candidate for it.

If we can get the word out about it, it can help more ALS patients.

“The breathing part of the disease is the worst,” he said. “If it can catch more people early [in their disease process] and help them breathe, it can help patients with their longevity and quality of life.”

Prior to his diagnosis, Hayden served as executive chef at North Fork Table & Inn, which he co-owns with his wife, pastry chef Claudia Fleming, and Mike and Mary Mraz.

After he was diagnosed with ALS in 2011, his fellow chefs rallied to his support, raising $110,000 through a celebrity chef fundraiser in Manhattan last summer.

This fall, Hayden hopes to organize additional events on Long Island to raise awareness and funding for ALS research. He is

working with Jeri Woodhouse of Taste of the North Fork in Cutchogue, to create gift packages of sauces to be sold under the name “Hayden’s Heroes” to raise money for the ALS Association of Greater New York, Project ALS and Chris Pendergast’s annual Ride for Life.

“I can’t wake up every morning wondering whether I’m going to die,” Hayden said. “I have to wake up every morning wondering how I’m going to live with it [ALS]. And that’s a big thing I think patients need to know.”

Hayden is being treated at Stony Brook University’s Christopher Pendergast ALS Center of Excellence, the only such center in Suffolk County. “I applaud the surgical team and Dr. Telem for their compassion, commitment and perseverance in making this pioneering procedure a reality,” said Pendergast, a 20year ALS patient for whom Stony Brook’s center is named. “Stony Brook Hospital’s bold decision illustrates forward thinking and the desire to bring cutting-edge medicine to Long Island’s residents.

With DPS, they now have a weapon that hopefully will prove useful in improving the status of a selective group of ALS patients. It is literally and figuratively a ‘sigh of relief.’”

“I did this for my breathing,” Hayden said. “I did this for my speaking, because hopefully that diaphragm will continue [to help] the words come out. And the words I need to tell everybody are, ‘Get this thing if you can, as soon as you can.’”

Dr. Telem is among the nation’s first surgeons to implant the device since the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it in September 2011. “This procedure demonstrates that when it comes to cutting-edge surgery, Stony Brook is the leader on Long Island,” said Alexander B. Dagum, MD, FRCS(C), FACS, Interim Chair of the Department of Surgery and Clinical Professor of Surgery and Orthopaedic Surgery, Stony Brook University School of Medicine.

ALS is a rapidly progressing, incurable and fatal neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness that results in paralysis. As the nerves to the diaphragm muscles fail, patients lose the ability to breathe without ventilator support. Approximately

30,000 people in the United States live with ALS, and more than 5600 new cases are diagnosed each year.

Candidates for the DPS device have chronic hypoventilation as a result of ALS, and have a diaphragm that can be stimulated, Dr. Telem said. The nerves supplying the diaphragm are examined through fluoroscopy, ultrasound or EMG to assess if a patient is a good candidate for the procedure.

“Traditionally, we were only able to assist these types of patients with ventilators, which can be cumbersome and not well tolerated by many patients,” Dr. Telem said. The FDA study of the device showed a 16-month improvement in survival for ALS patients from the time they were diagnosed with chronic hypoventilation, she said.

ALS patients also benefit from improved sleep soon after beginning treatment, said Nurcan

Gursoy, MD, PhD, a neurologist with the Christopher Pendergast ALS Center of Excellence. “ALS can cause patients to develop sleep apnea and nocturnal ventilation, which increases carbon dioxide levels and reduces their sleep efficiency,” she said.

The device is implanted through minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, said Dr. Telem, who was assisted on the case by Aurora Pryor, MD, FACS, Chief of the General Surgery Division at SBUH. After the procedure, the patient gradually conditions the diaphragm muscle through a series of physical therapy sessions. The device provides electrical stimulation to the muscle and nerves in the diaphragm. When the muscle is stimulated, it contracts, helping to condition the muscle to improve fatigue resistance during normal exertion.

About a dozen people were taken into custody. Farukh Baig, said to be the owner of 12 of the 14 stores raided, including two on the North Fork and one in Sag Harbor, was one of those arrested.

RICK’S SPACE How Old Are You Now? I don’t pay much attention to my birthday. Some people I know demand a major production, relishing the fact they are the center of attention. Me? I’m of the belief that once you hit my age, birthdays are nothing to celebrate. Let’s face it; at this point, every day is another day closer to death.

I’m not going to try and stave off age. I would never dream of coloring my hair, for example, thinking if it does turn gray I might finally be considered distinguished-looking

and gain a small modicum of respect from my staffers here at the newspaper, who usually ignore me.

I would never have a facelift. The way I figure it, the saggy skin covers the acne, and so it is a good thing.

I would never get a tummy tuck, because then none of my pants or belts would fit and I’d have to get all new stuff. Besides I’d have to clean the lint out of my belly button and I believe it’s been in there for at least 40 years.

are under the belief that their newborns are adorable, but they delude themselves. Babies are like grown-ups – some are pretty, some are plain looking, and some are just plain ugly. We’ve all told the big white lie: we go up to a baby carriage or a crib and the mother says, “Isn’t she adorable? She just turned one!” We look down and see something so hideous we almost pass out. But we invariably gush, “Ohhhh, she’s soooo adorable!”

That’s because even though I was a pretty baby I was an ugly teenager -- I had braces and pimples and kinky hair.

than vanity, it’s their job to look attractive.

The rest of us though, might as well let ourselves go. When you’re a slug, it’s pointless to get a nip or a tuck, because no one is going to notice or care.

When you reach my age, you begin to have doubts. “Am I becoming irrelevant?” I asked my long-suffering wife.

“You were never relevant,” she replied. Oh. Silly me.

As we age, the old adage, “all things in moderation” becomes useful. I’ve learned to take it easy on my body.

Fo r e x a m p l e , I ’ v e h a d t o reconfigure my intake of alcohol.

Instead of drinking an obscene amount of vodka every night and falling asleep in a pool of my own vomit, I drink a load of beer and fall asleep in a pool of my own urine.

This necessitates more showers, so I’ve upped my total to two per week.

As we get older we have to watch what we eat. During football games, for example, I usually have a bowl of chips, some nachos, pretzels, some crudités and my trusty cooler of beer. This year, the crudités are out.

I’ve cut down on red meats and fried chicken and try to eat more bacon and sausage.

Exercise is essential. When watching television, I try to lift each leg off the floor and onto the couch, and then down again later when the beer necessitates a trip to the bathroom. I do this several times. I also enjoy taking a nice stroll from the front door to my truck.

No matter how healthy our lifestyle as we age, parts of our bodies begin to shut down (like in my case, the bladder). Now, we finally realize this is what god made drugs for. When we were younger, we took drugs for recreational reasons - to help us enjoy music and the camaraderie of others.

The list included PCP, MDA, acid, cocaine, and heroin. I’m done with those silly diversions. These days I’m pretty much drug-free, but my wife has read up on the newer ones and makes recommendations to me.

For example, she keeps insisting to me that there is a great new drug I would like, Viagra, and I’m sure going to try it one of these days.

She also told me that prescription painkillers together with sleeping pills and a nice bottle of brandy before bed assures a sound sleep and a healthy body.

Well that’s it from the Birthday Boy. Just remember what the great Jackie Gleason said on his 50th birthday: “The 50 yard line is still the best place to watch a football game.”

He died a few years later.

Petty Politics

Dear Editor, Last week’s Independent ran an article entitled “Politics Before Progress?” that detailed the bitter exchange that occurred at a Southampton Town Board work session on June 6 when Councilwoman Christine Scalera proposed an initiative for discussion. What should have been a positive dialogue among government officials about a revitalization tool that could be used in Riverside, an area where redevelopment and investment is solely needed, turned into a ridiculous, sophomoric spat.

It is a shame that petty bickering over “who gets credit” is what some of our

EDITORIAL

The shameful story of the Hidden Cove Motel in Hampton Bays ended happily last week for neighborhood residents, Hampton Bays’ homeowners, and Southampton Town residents.

But the stench, and the shameful practice of allowing the Suffolk County Department of Social Services to place homeless people and welfare recipients wherever it pleases continues.

Under the leadership of Gregory Blass, the then commissioner of DSS, 30 homeless families were loaded into Hidden Cove on West Tiana Drive, in some cases displacing working people who paid rent. Virtually none of the families came from Southampton or Hampton Bays. Worse, the children who were moved there became the responsibility of the Hampton Bays School District. In what can only be described as a convoluted, antiquated system, Hampton Bays’ homeowners paid for the education of these children even though they were often transported back to their original school districts. At one point, there were 40 students from Hidden Cove on the books in Hampton Bays – costing taxpayers over $1 million per year.

Blass came to The Independent for an exclusive interview, yet he was less than forthcoming with accurate facts, claiming at one point only six students were on the rolls in the Hampton Bays School District. He also claimed many of the Hidden Cove residents were from Southampton – as far as we could ascertain, none were.

Yes, we have an obligation to care for our homeless – but not theirs. The impetus was a greedy owner who was willing to grab the $30,000 in monthly rent the county provides – about triple what he could have gotten on the open market.

Independent

local elected officials confuse with good governance.

I applaud Councilwoman Scalera for standing up to Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst’s and Councilwoman Bridget Fleming’s acrimonious attacks on her innovative proposal. Their shameful antics and continual interrupting created a chilling effect at the meeting and turned what should have been a thoughtful and positive discussion into a non-productive squabble.

The Supervisor’s inappropriate smirking and pointed accusation that Scalera “lifted the work” from her, once again shows how petty Throne-Holst is. This Supervisor interprets anything not proposed by her, and any disagreement with her, as a personal affront.

The people of Southampton Town deserve better than that.

Credit Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst, who stood up to Blass and threatened to sue the county, and Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, who agreed with her.

Blass maintained that state law trumped the county and town codes, and vowed to continue to place DSS tenants at Hidden Cove. In fact, he told The Independent he would resign should the county order him to stop doing so.

That’s exactly what happened. Blass then found a pliable journalist to write a puff piece about him; in it Blass claimed Hidden Cove had nothing to do with his decision to “retire.”

There are lots of Greg Blasses out there – officials who think it’s OK to ruin neighborhoods and force hard working taxpayers to ante up for another municipality’s problems.

There are plenty of greedy landlords who will take the inflated rents the DSS pays them to house welfare families that don’t come from here and don’t belong in our school districts. And there are plenty of town housing directors who will tell you they are placing “locals” in Section Eight dwellings – even if the people were living in Brentwood two days earlier. That’s the big lie inherent in the county system.

Yes, it is the responsibility of society to care for its poor. It does not mean making a homeowner in Hampton Bays pay to have dozens of kids driven upisland to their old schools; it does not mean paying $5000 a month in tax money for a motel unit that used to go for $700 on the open market.

Yes, Greg Blass cared about the downtrodden – but he was too myopic and arrogant to realize the middle class is one greedy politician away from joining the welfare rolls.

All voices should be welcome in the “People’s Room” – the Town Board Meeting Room. Healthy debate should be encouraged. Ideas and initiatives should be welcomed and explored, regardless of the political affiliation of the person making the proposal.

If I am elected Town Supervisor, I intend to reinstate open and inclusionary government, thoughtful discussions, consensus and professionalism. For me, it’s not about showmanship, petty politics, special interests and arguing over who gets credit - it’s about working together and getting things done right for the people of Southampton Town.

The Way It Was Dear Editor, Down memory lane, growing up, Springs, elections, people trying to run to serve their town, to serve Bonac -- Lyman Babcock, Francis Smith, town leaders of the Democratic Party and Republican Party -- that’s all there was back then.

his brother were fishermen, too. I would spend a couple of weeks in the summer going out on the water with them, as well.

The Millers lived on Green River Road (Accabonac Highway, does it look like a highway to you?). There was a time and not too long ago that every other mailbox in Springs said Miller. When I was old enough, before my kid brother Leon could come along, I would go bottle fishing with my grandfather Miller in the morning. It was special. We would skin the fish the rest of the day. Leon, my mother, her sister, and my other cousins would help. In the winter, after school in Springs, we would open scallops. Boy are they good!

The landed gentry, the upper middle classes, the doctors and lawyers, shopkeepers and professionals mostly lived up the street or nearby. Up street meant East Hampton Village.

In East Hampton, the way it was, whether you liked the guy or not, whoever it was who might run into bad luck or need help, neighbors were there. They literally would give the shirts off their backs to help a neighbor, any neighbor in crisis, no looking at color or religion, any neighbor in trouble, like him or not. That’s just the way it was. Sure, when it was all over, they would go back to not liking each other, not having anything to do with each other, until the next calamity.

What a support system that was, without all the bureaucracy. People just gave a helping hand. Growing up in Springs taught me the value of families, but also taught me that whether people were blood or not we all took care of each other.

There were hamlet rivalries, as well.

They ran a little deeper. Forget Montauk and Amagansett, it was good they were separated by the Napeague stretch. The Village, however, was above it all; Springs was Bonac country when being called a Bonacker was a pejorative, a bad name, not a good thing in town. Nowadays everyone wants to be one.

Back then, workmen would actually give you a call if they were going to be a little late. And the first woman Town Supervisor in Suffolk – Judith Hope – was elected in East Hampton – that little, so called small-minded, unsophisticated town at the end of the Island. Sure we were great for tourists in the summer, but that was when the summer season was July 4th through Labor Day and then, like magic, the town would empty out.

Anthony Fiorentino I worked in a hospital and wasn’t happy. In ‘80 I walked into the Vidal Sassoon Salon and knew it was for me. I went to school and began cutting hair at Sassoon. When two colorists were out sick I was switched over to that department. It was the perfect thing for me.

Elizabeth Philo I’m a mom. I just always wanted to be a mom, even as a little girl playing with my dolls. I wanted a career too but I knew when I had children I’d want to raise them full time. I’ve got two kids. I have a boy. I have a girl. And you know what… that’s a big job!

Dan Carpenedo I’m a clinical speech pathologist. I help people who have difficulty after strokes, people with Parkinson’s disease and brain injuries. I was always interested in understanding how people communicate with one another and why they communicate with each other.

Steven Sinatra I’m a lawyer. It’s not something I planned on since childhood. Let’s say I turned my argumentative nature into a vocation. I was searching for social justice growing up. Even within the family unit, maybe because I’m a middle child. So my career is a natural extension of that.

I also have another point, I wish to make and I sure don’t want to give the impression I am ranting here, but I’m just wondering how Harder got a copy of the draft of the new law before it was made available to Shelter Island residents? For someone who claims to be giving these shields away, Ms. Harder, you seem to have an intense interest in making them mandatory.

This reminds me of my days as a cub scout -- a bad kid with a very questionable reputation was once peeing on my tent.

When I hollered at him he told me to shut up that it was just rain!

Ms. Harder, who does not live on Shelter Island, seems to be trying to convince your readers that all I am doing is ranting about the rain.

Potty Talk Policy Dear Mr. Murphy, Now that Southampton Democrats have selected their candidates for the fall election, I believe the records of Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst and Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor can be reviewed. Since it might be productive to compare Southampton with East Hampton, I’ll try to frame my arguments in a larger

political context. For the record, I’m not making value judgments, I’m reviewing procedures.

A few years ago an East Hampton Highway Superintendent created a stir by allegedly using strong language.

Without assigning blame, the East Hampton Supervisor declared that inappropriate language was unacceptable and, if discriminatory, against the law. On the other hand, Southampton Democrats humorously dismissed the use of coarse language by Mr. Gregor averring that diplomacy was not Mr. Gregor’s job.

Unfortunately, as a Town employee, it is his job, and the fact that the current East Hampton Highway Superintendent is diplomatic, competent and avoids potty talk proves Southampton Democrats to be mistaken. Ms. Throne-Holst missed an opportunity (and the responsibility) to state that inappropriate language is unacceptable Town policy.

Party candidates for town board incumbent Councilman Dominick Stanzione and Fred Overton offered their take on the topic in a recent release. “ We recognize the Springs community is burdened with too many overcrowded homes, that are unsafe to both tenants and community,” the pair wrote.

While other hamlets see a surge in summer renters and young daytrippers who can crowd area beaches and create a nuisance, Springs suffers with unsafe and unhealthy overcrowded housing all-year long.

“We understand housing code enforcement in Springs was not a top priority of the old-time, oneparty Town Boards,” Stanzione and Overton offered. And while progress in housing code enforcement was made in 2012, more progress must be made, they said. “Now that East Hampton’s fiscal ship has been righted, we must address this critical need --- more effective housing code enforcement and smarter residential planning across all of East Hampton,” the candidates wrote.

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

The two provided a trio of statements, outlining their platform “We believe by working together as a community, in non-partisan fashion, we can enact and enforce effective solutions to unsafe and dangerous overcrowded housing and reverse a decade of decline in Springs.

“We believe independent and non-political leadership offers the best path to responsible and fair progress for safe-housing enforcement and planning for a sustainable, diverse and vibrant community. “ We b e l i e v e a p r o d u c t i v e conversation about overcrowded and unsafe housing in East Hampton, especially in Springs, must include the following: --- Additional code enforcement capability. In addition to the newly hired part-time code enforcement officers and four summer-season officers, we must have additional enforcement capacity laser-focused on housing safety and enforcement in Springs. Effective enforcement of existing law can make a big difference.

--- Increase fines substantially and possibly even property taxes for repeat housing code violators.

Landlords must be held responsible.

Continued from page 10. of the day was that elusive Mako brought by Capt. Chuck Mallinson of the Joy Sea to the weigh station.

The reports were dead on as angler Sean Kinney’s 311lb Mako thrust the Joy Sea into the tournament lead.

While the crowd waited anxiously for the arrival of Dave O’Halloran’s Bella Donna and their reported Mako, a 30’ Robalo, the Riverhead Toyota, captained by Matt Baxter entered the fairway to the weigh station.

To the thrill of the overflow spectator crowd a 344lb Thresher captured by angler Charlie Puglisi leapt to the head of the leader board. With an additional 12 sharks being weighed in, highlighted by angler Jenner Smith’s 251lb Blue Shark aboard Capt. Eric Stegich’s Miss O, time was running down to the 5 PM cut off.

At 4:48 Jason Blake’s Blue Eyes cleared the inlet and announced that they had a fish to weigh. As the weigh station crew hoisted the Thresher out of the cockpit of the Blue Eyes there came a hush over the crowd as the scale settled out.

Weigh master Kevin Gershowitz announced the weight of 446 pounds and the celebration was on.

Several communities on Long Island have addressed similar unsafe housing conditions. Our planning department might prepare a comparative survey of local laws enacted in other nearby communities. We should invite public officials from some of these communities to talk about their specific experience.

The total prize pool for the 27th Annual Star Island Shark tournament was $322,400 plus custom trophies and prizes donated by tournament sponsors Gershow Recycling, White Water Boats; Suffolk Marine, Macris Ind Underwater Lights, Penn Reels, Kellogg Marine, Daiwa Fishing Tackle, Tsunami Fishing Tackle, On The Water Magazine, Grunden’s weather gear, Sperry Topsider, Seacoast Marine, Costa Del Mar Sunglasses, Big Game Fishing Journal, and the L.I.

The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc. (ARF) has announced the formation of the Lemonarf Stand, A Club for Kids.

The club marries fundraising with business start up skills for kids, inviting them to discover the world of philanthropy while engaged in a classic childhood moneymaker – the lemonade stand, christened the Lemonarf Stand.

A Lemonarf Stand is just like a regular lemonade stand, only better, according to the folks at ARF. They’ve created a Lemonarf Stand free starter kit, designed to help let people know that young participants are an important part of the ARF team, and that all of the money raised will go directly to the care of the animals at ARF. The kit includes: • The official Lemonarf Stand homemade lemonade recipe. Kids can use this recipe or create their own refreshing beverage.

• The official Lemonarf Stand barking good cookie recipe. Kids may use this recipe or make their own mouth-watering treats.

• A Lemonarf poster to let everyone know that the stand raises money for ARF. Kids fill in what they are offering for sale and the price. They can decorate the poster as they see fit.

• The official Lemonarf minibank, to collect all of the donations and keep them safe until the child can bring the money to ARF. • Official Lemonarf cups.

• Official Lemonarf buttons, to let everyone know, you are an official member of the Lemonarf team.

The most important part of any Lemonarf Stand is the fun! Kids can feel free to add items, such as homemade jewelry or art, for sale and set their own prices for whatever they sell. Participants can also let ARF know where and when they are having their Lemonarf Stand and ARF will put it on their events calendar on Facebook.

Everyone who runs a Lemonarf Stand this summer will also have their photo taken when they bring their donation to ARF and will be featured on ARF’s Facebook Page.

Toward Healthier, Fresh Local Food Purchasing

By Kitty Merrill

A broad coalition of farming, conservation and environmental orga ni zatio ns applaud ed the State Senate this week for passing legislation that will strengthen the state’s local-food economy and protect New York farms.

The coalition also called on the Assembly to follow suit, and approve the legislation before the end of session tomorrow. The Assembly bill is currently before the Committee on Governmental Operations, where it was assigned in February.

The Food Metrics Bill (S.4061/A.5102), sponsored by Senator

Patty Ritchie and Assemblywoman Crystal D. Peoples-Stokes, would require state agencies to establish a robust food purchasing, tracking and reporting system that will provide baseline data about money being spent on food and the geographic source of such food.

The bill also lays the groundwork to encourage state institutions to buy more food grown on farms in New York.

“The Food Metrics Bill is a winwin for New York farms and our environment, and we applaud the Senate for taking action today,” said New York League of Conservation Voters President Marcia Bystryn.

IN THE PAST 36 MONTHS JOHN HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE TO

MORE THAN 150 TRANSACTIONS

FROM WEST HAMPTON TO MONTAUK

“The demand for locally grown food has never been stronger and this legislation will set New York on a path to growing more sustainable, healthy and fresh food. Now it is up to the Assembly to stand up for local food, and we are hopeful this legislation will be approved before session ends.”

“More New Yorkers than ever are buying locally grown food because they know it is good for our families, our farmers, and our economy. It is important for New York State’s institutions to do the same,” said David Haight, New York State Director for American Farmland Trust.

“When state-run institutions buy more food grown in New York it will put money back into the state economy, help our farmers turn a profit, and feed nutritious, locallygrown food to people who need it - like students, hospital patients and senior citizens. We appreciate the leadership demonstrated by Senator Ritchie and the Senate and look forward to working with the Assembly and Governor Cuomo to enact this legislation.”

“When we buy New York Farm food we get more than great food.

We get strong farms, open space, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, protection of our water resources and a stronger economy. This legislation will help all New Yorkers,” said William Cooke of Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

“By setting the example to buy local, the Food Metrics Bill makes it a priority for the State of New York to support its farmers.

Not only would this open up new market opportunities for our farms, but it would provide additional exposure for the great tasting food and products made within our borders. That, in turn, will be a welcomed boost to the rural economy,” said Julie Suarez, New York Farm Bureau Public Policy Director.

New York currently has no reliable data on the amount of food it purchases in- and out-of-state.

Without a baseline to measure against, it is very difficult to scale up the consumption of local foods, a step which is of vital necessity to New York’s struggling agriculture industry.

The benefits of buying local are numerous – it reduces our carbon footprint by cutting down on the transport of foods from out-ofstate, it provides a boon to our local economy and it provides New Yorkers with fresher, healthier food.

The Food Metrics Bill mandates that state agencies establish a tracking and reporting program for all food they’re buying. It requires the Office of General Services and the Department of Agriculture and Markets to set guidelines for state agencies on increasing their purchase of local foods. Successful bidders on state food contracts would also have to provide the type, dollar value, and geographic origin of all their food to the procuring agency.

Locally, Assemblyman Fred Thiele is a co-sponsor of the bill. It’s in the Ways and Means committee and he expects it to come to the floor this week.

OBITUARY

Anna Mirabai Lytton: Her Parents Remember

Anna Mirabai Lytton was born at home in East Hampton on April 30, 1999 on the Buddha full moon, the same lunar calendar day as her brother two years earlier. Besides her parents, her early years were supported by wonderful caretakers, including Kelsang Wangmu, a young Tibetan woman newly arrived from Nepal, and three Scottish girls on successive summers, Alice Chapman, Rebecca Watt and Lynn Fraser, then New Zealand Maori, Tamara Asher.

Sara Karl was also part of the family for several years after being recruited by Anna at a concert event in New York.

Anna attended the early childhood

program at then Hampton Day School, where she met two of her lifelong best friends, Julia Friedrich and Josie Battle. At the age of five, when her aunt asked her how she saw her life, she replied, “I’m either asleep or on an adventure.”

In 2004 when she was five the family lived for three months in India and Anna got to ride on elephants and to meet wonderful spiritual figures. She came back to Kindergarten at Springs School where she continued with an extraordinary cadre of teachers through eighth grade, and would have graduated this year. Anna was excited to attend Ross School for high school where her brother is already a student.

She played on the soccer and lacrosse teams at Springs. At eight

she was on a TV program with Amy Polar demonstrating yoga poses she had learned from her yoga teacher mom, Kate Rabinowitz.

Her adventures continued on travels with her family, especially with her grandparents, Alan and Andrea Rabinowitz to England and Scotland, New Mexico, on a dinosaur dig to Colorado, following the Lewis and Clark trail to Washington State, camping in Glacier Park, trips to the islands in the Northwest and Canada, and a Eurail trip to Italy in 2010 that included Venice and Assisi. In summers Anna there were trips to Martha’s Vineyard and three summers at Farm and Wilderness camp in Vermont. She was looking forward to another camp summer.

Anna was an avid reader and had begun to explore classic literature on her own. She was a prolific writer and poet, and loved to take photographs and listen to music.

She loved to cook with her mother and brother, and she and her mom were planning to make healthy snacks for the local farmers market.

She had a great interest in health and well-being, loved flowers and gardening with her dad, and picking at Quail Hill Farm.

At the end of a camp canoe trip she wrote a poem that closed with:

Riverhead’s Crohan Wins Yaz Award

By Rick Murphy

Riverhead High School’s Matt Crohan has been named the 2013 recipient of the Yastrzemski Award, presented annually to the most outstanding baseball player in Suffolk County.

The lefty fire baller is the first Blue Wave to garner the award, which has been given out since 1968.

Competing against the largestenrollment schools in Suffolk’s tough Class AA, Crohan proved overpowering. He hurled a pair of no-hitters and at one point spun 44 innings without yielding an earned run. Crohan was presented the trophy at the annual county awards dinner last Wednesday night.

The award is named for Bridgehampton’s Carl Yastrzemski,

who became the first East Ender to make the big leagues. He later won the American League Triple Crown in 1967 and is a member of the Major League Hall of Fame. He played for the Boston Red Sox for 22 years.

“Everyone in this room is so talented and everyone had such great years,” Crohan said at the awards banquet at Villa Lombardi.

“To be recognized for that just feels great.”

Crohan was also named MVP of League IV and was named Newsday’s Long Island Player of the Year. He is a member of the all LI First Team. Crohan recently signed to play at Winthrop University (see photo at right) in South Carolina.

Though he intends to focus on pitching, Crohan is a topnotch

hitter as well – he hit over .400 this season with two homers and 12 ribbies. He went 6-1 on the

hill with 104 strikeouts in only 47 innings. He yielded only one run the entire season.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

www.indyeastend.com

Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard

The Prevent Defense – Before The Engine Breaks Down!

We’re written about what to do when the engine stops or how to get rescued when things go really wrong. We’ve also written about how to commission the boat for a new season. But a lot goes on between Memorial Day and Labor Day and there are some simple preventative, pro-active things that you can do to stay at the razor’s edge of engine functionality.

This column is about some of those ideas.

Hot, Hotter and Hottest!

Perhaps non-intuitively, most engine manufacturers will tell you that over-heating is the number one cause of engine problems.

Maybe that is a function of coastal mariners having a tendency to find themselves hard aground on sand more often than rocks (see The Independent www.indyeastend.com, “Hard Aground”, 7/9/08) and that means sand gets up into the raw water intakes.

Maybe it is a function of mariners simply not paying attention to how salt and small marine creatures can get up into the fine plumbing of raw

water intakes and the connective plumbing. Just like our hearts, a little blockage can do a world of hurt. What to do?

Well, how about checking the raw water intakes on your lower unit? When you trim up the engine to keep the barnacles from growing on your prop, take a look at the intakes. If they aren’t shiny clean, clean them and see what might be in there. If you think that something got pushed in while you were cleaning the intake, every engine has a spigot.

It is usually integrated with the warm-water tell-tale (where the hot water is released from its engine cooling efforts and returned to sea), which you can remove usually with your fingers and screw a garden hose into its place. Let cold water run through the engine for 10-15 minutes (with the engine off – if there is sand in there, you want to wash it out, not grind it out!).

If you wait until your electronic

Commercial & Residential • 24 Hour Emergency Service

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

sensor shuts down the engine due to overheating (see The Independent, “Before You Throw in the Towel, Give It a Go!”, 2/18/09), it is too late.

Sacrifical Zincs Most mariners are aware that there are stray currents “naturally” in our waters due to natural electrolysis and due to unnatural stray currents caused by poor electronics at the mariner, either due to faulty wiring at the dock or poor grounding in the boats that you are sharing the marina with (see The Independent, “Galvanic Corrosion – More Shocking!”, 1/17/07.) In either case, the least “noble” metal, zinc, will be there to be eaten away so your brass propeller isn’t! So check these zincs regularly. And don’t forget about the pencil zincs.

What pencil zincs, Bunky? Well, remember that raw (sea) water is running through your engine to cool it. It is carrying those same stray electrical charges into the innards of your engine. So, manufacturers insert “pencil” zincs into the engine where water runs through it to sacrifice themselves for the greater good – except you can’t see them like those zincs on your transom or prop shaft. So, look for them – and they are easy to find.

They usually have a red or green colored hex-head bolt that screw into the engine. All you need to do is unscrew it and, if half or more of its pencil thickness is gone, get a new one in there. They are very inexpensive so you can warehouse

IN THE NEWS

some aboard.

Black Gold, Texas Tea - Oil If your engine doesn’t overheat due to blocked raw water intakes, low or degraded oil will be the next culprit. Change it, and the filters, regularly.

You should speak to your dock master or local surveyor about sending the old oil out for testing at least every 24-36 months. If the testers find metal shavings in the oil, the engine is wearing itself away and you need to address that.

If you have more than one engine, change all the oil and all the filters at the same time. And be sure that you run the engine(s) for a goodly period of time prior to changing the oil so you get it all. It will flow like water if you heat it up. It will flow like molasses if you don’t. And write the date of the oil change with a “Sharpie” right on the filter.

Seacocks A prudent skipper will open and close all seacocks twice a season.

If they won’t move, they need to be replaced. They tend to be found in out of the way places, so splash them with some household ammonia. Keeps the mold away.

BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources department, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing . . .”

Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean Bass bite on live baits in the inlet is very good. No huge fish but plenty of action. The flats are holding plenty of bass at dawn and dust. Blues are in the inlet too. Clam chumming at the bridge has been very effective at the bridge on either tide. Fluking in the bay has been the better bet if you are looking for a

Shinnecock Canal has fluke and plenty of sea robins for nonstop action. The canal’s night bite continues to see bass falling for live baits. Ponquogue Bridge is producing both fluke and bass on the usual bait. Sandworms are a good choice at the bridge as well for bass. The ocean beaches are beginning to see a bit more action with bass falling for clam and bunker baits.

Another Lefty Letdown “That was my best opportunity to get one”, said Phil Mickelson to NBC after his final round on Sunday. And it was. Lefty had every opportunity to pick up his first U.S. Open win on Father’s Day, which was also his 43rd birthday. But as Mickelson has done time and time again, he came up short.

I was fortunate enough to spend the second round with my father at Merion. After witnessing the tight fairways and oversized, undulating greens with their tricky

pin placements, I was surprised to hear Phil explain his comfort level with the course. The setup at Merion did not seem suited to Mickelson’s game. Granted he’s not the same gunslinger he was ten years ago, but Mickelson often knows how to make the game more difficult than it needs to be.

The course favored the “slow and steady wins the race” style of play that has never defined Mickelson.

Players like Steve Stricker, eventual winner Justin Rose, and even

Jason Dufner who shot a 67 on Sunday, had games better suited to take down Merion. Yet there was Mickelson teeing off in the final group on Sunday, with his entire northeast fan base desperately pulling for him.

As I watched Lefty maneuver the course I facetiously wondered if all his hat-tips and hand waves would lead to sore hands and affect the feel of his wedge game. Mickelson likely knew that at 43 years old there would only be a handful of remaining U.S. Opens where he would be near the top of his game.

Lefty made the turn carding 3-over par after double bogeys on three and five. After a fantastic eagle on the par four, 10th hole, Mickelson bogeyed 13, a short par 3 and 15 a relatively short par 4.

He’ll likely look to those two holes, and a blown putt for birdie on 16 as the big reasons he came up short once again.

Overall, “Phil the Thrill” played the course in conservative style, leaving his driver home and instead stuffing his bag with five wedges.

But by the time he stepped to the tee box on 18, down a shot, even the most ardent Mickelson supporters knew the unlikeliness of victory, since not one golfer had birdied the hole on Saturday or Sunday.

Phil Mickelson is no longer at the peak of his career. Recent injuries and most notably a battle

IN THE NEWS

with arthritis have hampered the consistency of his game over the past couple of seasons. In 2006, after blowing up on the last hole at Winged Foot, Mickelson could once again convince himself, “I’m close, I’m 36 years-old, I’ll get this done soon.” But now, at 43, his chances to get the championship he’s always coveted are running slim. Yes, we’ve seen older guys win majors; most recently Darren Clarke winning the Open at age 42. But the average age of the past five major winners is 29.6 years old.

Sunday’s collapse wasn’t nearly as explosive as what we saw seven years ago at Winged Foot. It was more of a steady fall from grace and likely left both Mickelson and his rowdy fan base wondering, “What if?” The dream scenario for Phil’s East End fans still struggling with another Lefty meltdown: let’s see Mickelson win his first national championship in our backyard at Shinnecock in 2018. A win there would make him the oldest player ever to win a U.S. Open, passing Hale Irwin, who was 45 years old at Medinah in 1990.

Lots will happen between now and then, but how sweet a storyline would that be?

Dlr: South Vul: Neither Opening lead: Ace of diamonds Contract: 6H by South

A hand very similar to this one was played recently at the Thursday night game held at the Day Care Center in East Hampton.

Unfortunately for most declarers, the contact failed because both finesses that were taken were offside. After trumping the opening lead, most Souths tried a trump finesse, which lost to West’s queen.

Later these same players tried a finesse for the spade king which also failed.

Do you see a better line of play, which will always make as long as the trumps split 3-2, which is very likely?

One declarer did find a better way. After trumping the opening lead, she played the ace and king of trumps. She ignored the queen and began playing her high clubs on which she was able to discard four spades from dummy. Now she could trump her small spade with dummy’s last trump. No matter when West trumped with the queen, the contract was safe.

This hand is a good example of a hand where two different lines of play are reasonable but one has a better chance to succeed. Did you find that one?
