New Proposal To End Airport Stalemate By Rick Murphy
For two decades pro and antiairport factions have engaged in intense debate, litigation, and a constant game of one-upmanship concerning the future of East Hampton Airport. This week the East Hampton Aviation Association introduced a four-point proposal designed to end the rancor and seek a lasting compromise. But opponents immediately countered that the proposal has fatal flaws. The EHAA proposal specifically pledges there will never be an expansion of the airport; it will continue to aggressively seek an Atlantic route for helicopters that will significantly reduce noise. The pilots association also pledges to continue to support noise reduction options, and to secure federal funds upwards of $7 million to fund needed repairs. The poster child of those opposed to the airport is currently the intense noise generated by a stream of helicopters that make the jaunt from New York City – the noise effects areas of Southampton Town as well. The overriding issue is whether

the town should accept federal money to defray expenses from the airport. Opponents say if the town stops doing so, it will be able to chart its own course come 2021, when the last of the Federal Aviation Administration assurance
grants are set to expire. Some airport opponents are currently appealing a ruling that would allow the town to implement its Airport Master Plan. But, said Gerard Boleis, president of the association, it is simply the latest
maneuver from The Committee To Stop Airport Expansion, David Gruber, and the other petitioners. “In the past two decades there have been so many lawsuits and restraining orders that I can’t count Continued ON page 22.

Soldier Ride Hits East End
By Emily Toy
On Saturday, East Enders and tourists alike will gather for the 10th Hamptons Solider Ride, an annual event that brings veterans from across the country, as well as the United Kingdom, and citizens out for a cycle ride in honor of a local fallen hero. Soldier Ride is a unique cycling opportunity, part of the Wounded Warrior Project, for wounded veterans to use cycling and the bonds of service to overcome physical, mental or emotional wounds. Hamptons Soldier Ride is in honor of Sag Harbor native Lance Corporal Jordan C. Haerter, who was killed in action at the age of 19 on April 22, 2008 in Ramadi, Iraq. Haerter, a rifleman with the 1st Battalion 9th Marines, known as the “Walking Dead,” was guarding an entry control point, along with fellow marine Corporal Jonathan T. Yale, when a large truck accelerated toward them, careening off the protective serpentine. All signals and flares warning the driver to stop were ignored, so Haerter and Yale opened fire until the 2000-pound blast claimed their lives. “I think this really helps bring
the community together,” said Haerter’s mother, JoAnn Lyles, of the ride. “It’s really great also because it brings more awareness to the public,” she added. “And Jordan’s tribute starts at 10:30 AM. That’s the nice part for me.” Soldier Ride is the brainchild of East Hampton resident Chris Carney, a former bartender of the Stephen Talkhouse, who wanted to raise money for wounded veterans. Carney cycled from the east to west coasts to raise money and awareness for injured soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. He noted during his travels that seeing wounded veterans along the way getting their inspiration back and the feeling that they can do anything was “more than he could ask for.” Saturday’s Soldier Ride features two 5K walks in Amagansett and Sag Harbor. Both start at 9 AM. The bicycle ride starts at Ocean View Farm in Amagansett and continues west through East Hampton and Sag Harbor and then back again. And that’s just the 30-mile ride. The 60mile ride features the same route, but continues out to Montauk, and then back to the farm.

Registration and packet pick-up starts at 7 AM. A kick-off celebration at Ocean View Farm is at 8 AM. The ride begins at 9 AM (walkers will begin once the cyclists depart). The tribute to Haerter is at 10:30 AM and the Lap of Heroes in Sag Harbor is at 11 AM. From noon to 4 PM there’s a community picnic at Ocean View Farm with “Rock the Farm” starting at 6 PM. It’s $25 for cyclists 21 and under and for 5K walkers. $50 for over 21
cyclists. In September, there will be another Soldier Ride on the North Fork for Joseph Theinert, a graduate of Shelter Island High School and member of the 1st squadron, 71st Calvalry Regiment. Theinert was killed in Kandahar, Afghanistan on June 4, 2010 when an improvised explosive device was detonated near his dismounted patrol. It was his first tour of duty. Emily@indyeastend.com

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME I’m having a birthday next Monday. I don’t like birthdays. But I guess they’re necessary because it’s God’s way of telling you you’re still alive. Speaking of life and death, I’ve made plans for my funeral. To begin with, I want the funeral director at my services to announce to everyone that they must turn on their cell phones and they are encouraged to call their friends and talk out loud on their phones. People are much happier when they have their cell phones stuck in their ears at all times, and I don’t want the fact that I’m dead to spoil anyone’s fun. As to where I am at the time, I want someone to recite Steven Wright’s great line: “If heat rises, heaven may turn out to be a lot hotter than hell.” I’ve instructed my family that no matter what he charges, they must hire Al Sharpton to deliver my

eulogy and say wonderful things about me at my funeral. I just want to leave all my loved ones laughing. I’m not going to reveal my age, but a word of advice to those of you reading this who are in your 20s: It’s never too soon to start lying about your age. The day will come when people will start using your age against you. This will affect jobs, promotions, romance etc., etc. So if you’re 30, slice off 10 years right this minute. Tell people you’re 20. Okay, you’ll get a lot of dirty looks at first and people will mutter behind your back, but when you’re 40 people will start talking about what a mature-looking 30-yearold you are. And, trust me, it’s a lot better to have people thinking you’re a decrepit 50-year-old than a good-looking 60-year-old. My problem is I have always confused my immaturity with age, thinking as long as I act like a dopey kid I will never grow old.

This doesn’t always work, though. Picture this: On my birthday a few years ago I was in my convertible heading out to the Hamptons. I was wearing a bright yellow polo shirt, cut-off jean shorts to show off my gorgeous legs, and I felt that I was looking pretty snazzy. Dark tan, bald head, sunglasses and all. From time to time I would vainly suck in my stomach, but only until I started to hyperventilate and get light-headed. Frankly, I thought I looked sexy as hell. Just three short hours from New York and five Snapples later I reached Manorville and jumped out of my car to go to McDonald’s to use their McBathroom because I had to Mc . . . er . . . you know what I mean. On my way out I stopped to get myself a cup of coffee. The young man behind the counter took my order for a small coffee but had a little problem with the words “with milk.” “With milk?” he asked. “Yes, with milk,” I answered. “Milk?” “Milk!” Clearly an overdose of cannabis the night before had robbed the young man of the mental power to remember the word “milk” longer than three seconds after he left the counter and picked up the coffee pot. Now I often buy a small coffee at McDonald’s and I know a small

coffee costs 90 cents, so I handed the young man a dollar and waited for my 10 cents change. Well, he handed me a fistful of change. Being honest and not wanting to screw McDonald’s out of their McMoney, I said, “You gave me too much change.” “No,” he said, “it’s 35 cents.” “35 cents?” “Yes,” he said, “it’s only 35 cents for seniors.” “Seniors?” I asked. “Seniors!” he said. Now I was having as much trouble with the word “seniors” as my young, clear-skin-challenged boy was having with the word “milk.” Then I looked at him and thought, “What if I lean over the counter and choke him. Given how slowly everyone on that McSide of the McCounter moves, I could polish him off before any of them can pry my wrinkled old ‘senior’ hands from his smooth young scrawny neck.” I pocketed the change and walked out the door. A young, vital birthday boy walked into McDonald’s, but an old bitter man walked out, clutching his lousy 35-cent senior coffee. On Monday, when everyone is asleep, I will celebrate my birthday as I have for many years. I will look for and find the biggest glass in the house, fill it to the top with McCallan Scotch and take it to bed, where I will ponder tomorrow, which, as the cliché goes, is naturally going to be the first day of the rest of my life.

f o r a lo ng ter m ef f o r t, a nd because of the white tailed deer’s high survival and reproductive rates in suburban landscapes, the researchers recommended that more than 80 percent of the female deer should be treated. That could be cost-prohibitive. If a community can’t target more than 50 percent of the female population, “Then sterilization should not be implemented due to cost and lack of efficacy,” the paper states. Interestingly, while tubal ligation has been safely used on urban white tailed deer, one study found an increase in vehicle mortality
for the sterilized deer – they get around more because they’re nonmaternal. And because those who receive tubal ligation continue to experience estrus cycles, they could attract more bucks into their home range. Results from modeling “do not bode well” for the feasibility of sterilization as the only method for decreasing a deer population, especially if immigration of other deer into the community offsets decreases due to sterilization, the study states. The report suggests an initial effort at lethal control (i.e. culling) may be more successful in controlling overabundant herds. Once the population is decreased through lethal means, sterilization could be more effective than lethal control in maintaining desired Continued ON page 16.

Dr. DeNicola has had success with deer reproductive control projects, nationwide, most recently a sterilization project in the Village of Cayuga Heights, in upstate New York. According to organizers, this evening will be a basic primer on the successes of doe sterilization, how such a program may be instituted in a municipality with firearm constraints like East Hampton Village and why this approach could help to overcome the unavailability of lethal methods of deer management.

New Rules For Southampton Cemeteries

No more Frisbee. No more Halloween walks. Even no more grave rubbing. Southampton Town’s cemeteries will be getting stricter preservation methods in an attempt to protect the historic grounds. The town expects to clean up the designation for its cemeteries and historic burial grounds, which
DAVE BETTS
currently lists final resting places in the same town code as parks, recreation space, and ballfields. The new legislation was introduced last week and is expected to be considered at an upcoming town board meeting. “I look at these sites as outdoor museums,” said town historian Zach Studenroth. He added the cemeteries had been included in the village’s code section to “basically keep the grass mowed.” Studenroth also noted the need to prevent any human contact,

something he deemed damaging for carved stone artifacts that have been exposed to the elements for centuries. Between 8 PM and 6 AM, people would be prohibited from being on the grounds. The proposed legislation would create that stipulation as well as a completely new section in the town code for town-owned historic burial grounds and abandoned cemeteries. “This is part of momentum that’s been happening for a few years now to really protect our historic
resources,” said Councilwoman Bridget Fleming. Monument Conservator Jonathan Appell will lead two workshops for local residents interested in the preservation, restoration and care of the town’s historic burying grounds on Friday and Saturday. Everything from cleaning methods and resetting tilted headstones to reattaching fragments of headstones already fallen off will be discussed at the workshops. “Gravestone conservation and historic stone preservation is the art and science of preserving all we can of our heritage carved in stone,” Appell said. The workshops are being offered by Southampton Town Clerk Sundy Schermeyer. Friday’s workshop will be at the North Sea Burial Ground, with Saturday’s session at the East Quogue Methodist Cemetery. Both start at 9 AM, are free and open to the public. Reservations are required. Call 631-287-5740 or email studenroth@southamptontownny. gov. Emily@indyeastend.com

Great Bonac Fireworks Tradition Continues By Kitty Merrill
For lots of folks across the country, once July Fourth has come and gone, it may be “Hello, summer,” but it’s also “Bye bye fireworks.” Not so here in God’s country, as this Saturday the party by locals for locals sets the sky over Three Mile Harbor ablaze with rockets, aerials, fountains and bombettes. The Great Bonac Fireworks Show this weekend brings GrucciFire pyrotechnics to Three Mile Harbor for the 33rd year. Originally designed as a party organized by George Plimpton with his friend Tony Duke, in 2008, just months before show time, Ross Perchick learned the show was not going to happen. Plimpton had died and Boys Harbor, the camp founded by Duke and home to the annual Bastille Day show, was for sale. Pe r c h i k , w h o s t a r t e d t h e Clamshell Foundation in 1992 and oversees its popular sandcastle contest each August, said he spent about a week trying to figure a way to keep the fireworks tradition going. “Then I jumped in head first.” “When I first took this over, about five years ago, I naively thought, since I’d been doing sandcastle for so long, how bad could this be?” He learned it could be pretty tough, with “ten times the logistics, costing ten times the money.” He said he figured it would take about five or six years to get the process down. On Friday, a harried Perchik juggled a slew of last minute details and joked it was going to be six years for sure, before he had it down. Part of the last minute work involves mobilizing a flotilla of d o nation b oats to co l l e ct contributions from boats anchored in the harbor to view the ‘works. “That takes some doing,” Perchik said. But the effort is well worth it, since, he said, “The boaters are very generous. We depend on that night to make the budget.” Perchik estimated the cost of the show at between $42,000 and $44,000. “We have a real, real good base of local donors,” he said. “They send in checks from $25 to $100, sometimes $250 and maybe one is $1000. It takes a lot of checks to get to $42,000.” Part of Perchik’s job as organizer is finding ways to increase donations to underwrite the show. About 600 boats will show up to watch the show Saturday night. Years ago, the organizer recalled, two or three times as many vessels were on hand. The skyrocketing price of fuel is a factor in fewer boats on the water, Perchik theorized. As a formality, every year the
state Department of Environmental Conservation closes the harbor to shellfishing for five days surrounding the show. The closure was based on the huge number of boats that came out in the past. This year, Perchik has arranged for officials to take water samples to see if it can be opened sooner. There will be loads of landlubbers lining shoreline spots – on the beaches and at road ends all around the harbor. Perchik said between 2000 and 3000 spectators come out for the show. “This is a tradition for us now,”
Perchik said. “It’s fun, it’s free, an easy easy thing to do. All you have to do is sit back and watch . . . if we were so lucky to get just $5 from every person who watched it, we could pay for it.” This week, as Perchik and a core group of volunteers finish up last minute details. Clamshell’s founder said he’s watching the weather and has his eye on “four different kinds of radar.” It’s not till next week, he said, “that I get to sleep well. A handful of people always help, but the truth of it is, the buck stops here.”

Indy reader Ron Mooney sent in this picture (right) of domestic diva Martha Stewart admiring his 1969 Buick Electra convertible at Georgica Beach. Described by Mooney as “a very nice lady,” Martha told him she once had one like it in blue. This week, “30 Rock” star Jane Krakowski was spied at the makeup counter in White’s Pharmacy in East Hampton . . . not that she needs any cosmetic assistance. Our spy said she is “stunning,” and has amazing eyes.

Representatives from local libraries gathered last Thursday at the new Children’s Addition of the East Hampton Library to publicly thank local legislators for their successful efforts on behalf of the libraries to win substantial new grants from the New York State Public Library Construction Grants program. The combined grants awarded to the three local libraries (East Hampton Library, Sag Harbor’s John Jermain Memorial Library and the Shelter Island Public Library) total more than $600,000 of the $900,000 in NYS Construction Grant money awarded to Suffolk County libraries this year. In a press release dated June 24 announcing the grant awards, Assemblyman Fred Thiele stated, “With libraries now experiencing remarkable increases in use, and with budget cuts creating significant hardship, I am thrilled that so many of my constituents will benefit from increased Library resources made possible through these State funds.” East Hampton Library was awarded $342,262 towards the construction of the new Children’s Addition. John Jermain will receive $227,041 to restore the 101-year old library, and Shelter Island Public Library gets $91,590 to improve the efficiency, accessibility, and safety of the library.

Southampton Town Police said officers responding to an accident on Cypress Avenue determined, Dorothy Guthrie, 42, was intoxicated at 8:47 in the morning. Since she had a prior conviction within the past 10 years the charge was upgraded to a felony. In addition, Guthrie was slapped with a DUI of Drugs, and Aggravated Unlicensed Operation First Degree, also a felony. She was remanded to county jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.

The paper concludes, “Should communities be willing to endure the costs of a long-term effort, surgical sterilization may be a viable option for reducing deer populations where lethal deer removal is impractical.” Immigration and emigration rates of the deer herds -- how many move between village and town -- will affect both the effectiveness and time scale for any program. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Breaking Ground On CR58 As The Independent went to press Tuesday Saber Real Estate Advisors, LLC and the Riverhead Town Board were slated to host a groundbreaking event to commemorate the construction of the final buildings in a new, 119,000 square-foot retail development, which is set to open late this year. The new development represents the culmination of Riverhead’s master plan for the corridor and County Road 58, which was put into place in 2002 with the hopes of revitalizing the town. This project — along with the Super Walmart and The Shops at Riverhead — is proving that Riverhead is well on its way to realizing that revitalization and is fast recovering from the Great Recession, officials say. When completed, the project will include popular stores such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, Christmas Tree Shops and That! Buffalo Wild Wings, ALDI, Five Below, and Starbucks. Many of the center’s stores will be the only ones of
their kind in eastern Long Island.
Fundraising Seminar Fundraising professionals, volunteers, board of directors and executive directors from across Long Island are invited to join Association of Fundraising Professionals Long Island members at a special free evening on Monday, from 5 PM to 7 PM at the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead. The event is free, but an RSVP by today is appreciated. To register, please email info@ afpli.org, call 631-249-5008 or visit www.afpli.org to register online. The evening will include a brief educational program on developing special events donors, a reception in the main hall and small group tours of the aquarium and the new Hyatt Place East End Hotel, located steps from the main entrance of the aquarium. The Long Island Aquarium is located at 431 East Main Street in Riverhead. Helping special event donors make the transition to major and annual donors is one of the many functions of the special event.

Calls Foe ‘Disingenuous’ By Kitty Merrill
Challenger Chris Nuzzi launched the first salvo . . . and it hit incumbent Jay Schneiderman right in the pocketbook. The pair is squaring off in the race for county legislator. Nuzzi is running on the Republican ticket and Schneiderman is an Independence Party candidate, running on the Democratic line. On Monday afternoon Nuzzi, currently a Southampton town councilman, chastised his opponent for voting in 2012 to freeze his own pay, then subsequently taking a raise. As reported by Newsday earlier this month, Schneiderman was among a dozen lawmakers who voted for the freeze last year. Of them, only five actually followed through with the refusal to accept a cost of living increase. Nuzzi finds Schneiderman’s public vote, then private acceptance of the increase “disingenuous.” It’s a move, he said, that “violates the public trust and is indicative of someone who has been representing himself in Hauppauge for too long.” Nuzzi called upon his opponent to return the pay increase. According to the published report, two of the lawmakers who voted for the freeze, then took the increase, called their acceptance of the extra pay an oversight they would attempt to rectify. Two others said they’d already accepted a voluntary “lag payroll” that defers four percent of their salaries until they leave county employ.

Schneiderman also participates in the voluntary “lag payroll” program. He explained that last summer, lawmakers sponsored the measure in an effort to get the county’s union employees to concede their cost of living increase. “I said at the time, that if they’d do it, I’d do it. They didn’t,” Schneiderman explained. He clarified that the “symbolic” resolution authorized legislators

to voluntarily decline the increase. “What was I supposed to do, say ‘No, they can’t reduce their own salaries if they wanted’? I made clear at the time that if the union did it, I would, too.” The increase, he emphasized, is an annual cost of living “adjustment” built into the county charter. “It’s not a raise,” Schneiderman said. He pointed out that lawmakers also voted to increase their own health care contributions, again predicated on an identical union concession. That didn’t happen either. “I never voted myself a raise,”
Schneiderman said, adding, “More important, I never voted for a property tax increase in 14 years.” “Right out of the box he goes negative,” the incumbent said of Nuzzi. “I guess for his eight years as a councilman he has no accomplishments to tout.” Well, maybe one… Nuzzi hasn’t taken a raise for the last six of his eight years in office. “I never even considered it,” he said “I’ve been making $60,000 for six of the eight years.” The rate for county legislators last year was $93,958. It’s $96,570 this year.

Dance Party Selling Fast Plans for the inaugural AFTEE (All For The East End) fundraising concert, BNB Presents AFTEE Nile Rodgers Dance Party, at Martha Clara Vineyards, on Monday August 19, continue to move forward with increasing levels of support from local businesses and media. AFTEE has received both financial and in-kind contributions that will help achieve its goal of establishing a significant fund to support the East End not-for-profit community.

Plus, the historic Suffolk Theater in Riverhead will host an After Party Dance Party to keep the party going after the benefit concert ends. “We are so excited that the local community has embraced AFTEE’s first concert,” says Jim Durning, the AFTEE Executive Committee Member overseeing ticket sales. “This is all about supporting the East End nonprofits, and with Nile Rodgers and Chic behind this effort, we fully expect a sold-out event.” New sponsors continue to join the AFTEE effort. Sponsors receive major visibility at the concert and the opportunity to entertain customers and friends in VIP and BNB Lounge environments, complete with extensive food and beverage coordinated by Hampton Event Management – the same organization responsible for All For The Sea and Ladles of Love.

Continued from page 4. them,” he said. The opponents maintain that a lawsuit that allowed New York City to regulate helicopter traffic proves that if a municipality isn’t beholden to the FAA, it can limit helicopter traffic. But David Schaffer, an attorney who specializes in aviation law and government relations, disagreed with that assertion. Schaffer said the National Helicopter Corp v. New York City case does not support the proposition that a municipality can regulate helicopters if it rejects FAA funding.
THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman
“Just the opposite is true,” Schaffer wrote in an opinion sent to the EHAA. “New York City had taken no FAA funding and had not agreed to any grant assurances.” Schaffer opined that the National Helicopter case confirms that even without FAA funding a municipality’s regulations, ”must still meet the same federal standards for establishing noise restrictions as an airport that has accepted funds.” Jeffrey Bragman an attorney for the petitioners disagreed with Schaffer’s opinion. “That’s not accurate. In reality they approved all but three of the restrictions.” Bragman said the court approved

weekday and weekend curfews on the helicopters, a prohibition based on noise, and a 47 percent reduction in operations. Schaffer, Bragman charged, was “a hired gun” for the Aviation Association. All parties concerned would like to see the FAA approve an ocean track so more helicopters can avoid overland route to the airport. Local officials – 19 in all – have sent letters the Department of Transportation requesting the overseas route. Kathy Cunningham, the chairman of the Quiet Skies Coalition, said there is already a “southern” route, but relatively few helicopter pilots use it. “There are complications with

the weather, and they like to fly over the LIE – it’s an easy landmark.” Proponents of the airport have long suspected that the real goal of the anti-airport faction is to close the airport altogether. Boleis said if the town doesn’t accept any more federal funds “the airport can be closed in 2021 by a simple 3-2 vote of the town board.” Bragman disagreed. “That’s nonsense. It would go through SEQRA, it’s a Type One action. There would have to be an impact statement.” That result would be disastrous for the town. According to a New York State Economic Impact study the airport provides 91 jobs and pumps in millions of dollars a year to the local economy. Moreover, the shakers and movers that use the airport are typically high-end property purchasers who not only help maintain a healthy highend real estate market but who also provide service jobs for local landscapers, builders, etc. The EHAA also points to a recent poll that found that 88 percent of East Hampton residents support continued FAA funding. Boleis believes airport proponents think the tide of public opinion will change once taxpayers have to pony up for airport maintenance and repairs. Boleis also pointed out that a relative handful of residents are responsible for the hundreds of noise complaints made. “Most people want a reasonable curfew,” Cunningham asserted. Cunningham said her group doesn’t want the airport to close. “We don’t want to deny our local pilots. We’d like to see a business plan that demonstrates we need FAA funds. The airport earns a lot of money.”

An Anniversary Worth Remembering By Richard Amper
This week marks the 20th anniversary of the Pine Barrens Protection Act, landmark state legislation that protects drinking water and critical habitat in Long Island’s premier ecosystem that lies at the gateway to the East End – in Southampton, Riverhead and eastern Brookhaven. It’s important for two huge reasons. First, it represents a coming together of disparate environmental, civic and business interests to end the juggernaut of development with the declaration “the pavement stops here.” The Pine Barrens sit atop a huge supply of pure drinking water and boast the greatest diversity of plants and animals anywhere in New York State. It’s the Central Park of Long Island – 100,000 acres of greenery through which everyone must pass on their way to the East End. The Pine Barrens was saved after a battle of many years, which included the largest environmental lawsuit in state history and a carefully-crafted plan that made 55,000 acres, off limits to development with another 45,000 where development was permitted, but strictly limited. The “War of the Woods” ended in 1993 with unanimous passage of a law that protects groundwater important both to clean drinking water and the lakes, rivers, bays and beaches that make the East End so special. For two decades, a regional commission has ended the development-at-any-cost tradition and led the way for progressive legislation such as the Peconic Bay Region’s Community Preservation Fund which ensures that open space and farmland will be protected at points east of the Pine Barrens as well. The voters and taxpayers of Suffolk County and the East End have voluntarily put up more than a billion dollars to protect our land and water, so that the East End will never suffer upisland suburban sprawl. This leads to the second and perhaps more significant reason that the Pine Barrens Protection Act is so important. Today, water quality across Long Island is declining precipitously; 40 to 200 percent in the top two aquifers on which Long Island depends for its drinking and surface water quality. Fewer than 50 percent of Long Islanders know where their water comes from or where it goes when they’re done with it. The answer is – the first, federallydesignated Sole Source Aquifer – a C

RICK’S SPACE The Lady And The Crustacean Hey, I enjoy a good lobster as much as the next guy. I think most people are like me – I cut up the tail, dip the pieces in steaming butter and eat it, then do the same thing with the two big claws. Then, I take the hot towel and wipe my fingers and face and I’m done (Ok, sometimes I blow my nose if the restaurant isn’t too crowded). The best place to eat lobsters is at a restaurant, because making them at home can be a messy affair. Before Karen developed an allergy to them we’d order them already cooked from the fish store, eat them right from the box they came in, then dump
everything into a big plastic bag and throw all the evidence out – this is because Karen has also developed an allergy to washing dishes. W h e n e a ti n g l obs ter in a restaurant, I think certain rules of decorum should apply. Hey, if you are in the privacy of your own home and want to get physical with the carcass of that poor, dead crustacean go for it. But, I beg you, please don’t wrestle with the damn thing in a public place. Such was the case the other night when I ventured out for lobster. The woman next to me, unfortunately, also ordered it. They brought me a

bib – they should have brought her a hazmat suit. They brought me a hot hand towel — they should have rolled out a bathtub for this lady. That’s because she wasn’t content to merely eat the meat. No, she was going to have her way with the thing. It was too painful to watch, but diverting one’s eyes couldn’t possibly muffle the grunts and groans of pleasure this lady was making. Remember the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away? It may have been the worst movie I almost sat through. Besides using an ice skate to extract a tooth and having a meaningful relationship with a volleyball, Hanks ate a live crab, the green slime and guts dribbling down his face and chest. Now multiply the grossness of that exponentially – and you have the lady next to me. She was sucking and slurping the very sacred innards of this crustacean, green and red slime oozing from the lifeless carcass and onto her face, chin, neck, and

clothes. Her eyes were closed as if indulging in some satanic ritual, with me as the unwilling witness. Let me put it to you this way – when the waiter asked if I wanted another drink I ordered a Pepto-Bismol. People are funny. We think of most crustaceans as delicacies, while the thought of eating certain rodents sickens us. Yet lobsters are known as sea-rats, scavengers that troll the sea bottom looking for scraps. When I lived in New Orleans crawfish was the big thing. They look suspiciously like lobsters only smaller and uglier. When I first moved there my hosts gave me some sage advice -- “eat the tail and suck the head.” I found out later they were talking about crawfish. Whew! I was beginning to think I wasn’t going to enjoy living down there very much. Crustaceans – anthropoids – include lobsters, crawfish, and shrimp, all of which we pay top dollar to eat. But how many of us know barnacles, fish lice and tongue worms are related species? Why can’t we get those things at the fancy restaurant? “Excuse me, waiter, what is included on the broiled fisherman’s platter special this evening?” “Sir, we have some wonderful rhizocephala, myriapods and chelicerates, served in a butter and white wine sauce.” “Yeah, but does it come with soup and salad?” This lady next to me with the lobster must have spent two hours dissecting that thing. She surgically explored every nook and cranny. At one point she wiped her brow with the very hand that was handling the greenish stuff, sending a wave of matter directly at me. I had to duck out of the way to avoid being slimed. When she finally finished I envisioned a team of scientists, dressed from head to toe in white and wearing masks, to come spray her, trying to sanitize the restaurant against some deadly bacterial strain. Instead, the waiter calmly came over – yes, his nostrils were elevated in the hope the noxious odor would waft away from him – and handed her a dessert menu. He picked up her hot towel – I would have used a doggie bag – and, holding it gingerly in his fingertips, tip-toed away from her. She eventually ordered pie with two scoops of ice cream and extra whipped cream. I was going to suggest they bring her a shovel instead of a fork but I held my tongue. That night, visibly shaken, I dreamed giant Lobster People rose from the depths of the sea to exact their revenge on humans. They were joined in the attack by Jumbo Shrimp.

EDITORIAL About Those Helicopters We have attempted to wade into the muddied waters of the East Hampton Airport issue many times. Invariably, we realize reaching any kind of compromise is unlikely – the pro and anti-airport factions are dug in so deeply that we fear sometimes neither side can see over the trenches. Yet it is critical that some kind of consensus be reached. The economy of the East End is fueled by, for better or for worse, the wealthy second homeowners who feed the luxury real estate market. A fair amount, if not more, of the airport users – specifically those on the noisy helicopters – fall into this segment. Having a functioning airport is a critical choice when choosing a second home for many of them. We cannot afford to make them look elsewhere. But oh, that noise! Folks in Bridgehampton, Noyac, Sag Harbor and Southampton are all forced to endure it during the summer season. That is the critical issue, and addressing the noise should go a long way in alleviating the opposition to the airport in general – unless some of the opponents have another agenda altogether. Nineteen local elected officials have petitioned the government to approve an airport route that would allow the helicopters to fly over the ocean on routes from New York City. We call on Congressman Tim Bishop and our U.S. Senators to keep the request on the desks of powers-that-be in Washington DC. It wasn’t too long ago that people complained about the noise generated by

Congrats To Rick Hello Ricky Murphy, I was going to write this last year, but never did. Lol. When I read your paper today and saw your column again, I decided to finally to do it. Just for the halibut. Last July, my daughter, her two kids and I traveled from Westbury, NY to a convention center in Rhode Island. On the way back we headed to The Hamptons via ferry. Of course, we just missed it by 10 minutes and had to wait the hour. I grabbed some local papers and started reading. That’s when I came upon Rick’s Space. I told my daughter, who was sitting next to me - I know this guy! (It’s a funny thing when you come across a name that you
knew way back when.) I should correct that and say that I knew that guy, briefly, like a second in time; or, I knew of that guy. Of course, that guy would be you. I think a bunch of us were on Main Street in front of the movie theater hanging out. I remember that you grew up in Brooklyn. You won’t know me, but I remember hanging out in Sag and you were among the kids there. I knew Mike McMahon, Robert Kelly, Mike Adams, and Steven Peters, etc. Sag girls didn’t like me cause I was considered a “City Girl,” only summering in Noyac. Robert Kelly was big on kidding me about being an outsider/city. In fact, when Internet and emails came about, I jumped at the email address: noyac@hotmail.com. I detest when anyone adds a ‘k” to the name! Congrats on being a three-time winner for Best Column!! I write as well, or mostly try to. I have a children’s book out and
jet aircraft. But newer planes are significantly quieter. It is safe to assume as new technology emerges helicopters will also become less noisy. Opponents of the airport have long lobbied the town to stop taking FAA funding. The argument that the town can control its own destiny without federal funds is simply not accurate – the airport will still be a part of the federal transportation system. What it does mean is taxpayers will be on the line for the millions of dollars needed to keep the facility functioning, and that is a no-win situation. However, once folks start feeling the bite of increased taxes, the sentiment to close the airport altogether will become more palpable. Perhaps that is the ultimate goal in some quarters. The East Hampton Aviation Association is not the bad guy here. It is a group of local flying enthusiasts – not helicopter operators. But to say they alone should bear the financial burden of the airport is myopic – it would be akin to suggesting train riders fund the railroad. The airport generates significant income and more valuable intangible benefits. Like it or not, we all benefit from the airport in subtle ways that can’t be measured. Once gone, however, they would be sorely missed. A new EHAA proposal provides lots of common ground. Reduce noise, ban expansion, and fund over $7 million in needed repairs through the FAA. It would seem prudent to let the feds pay, but then again, if the pounding sound of a fleet of helicopters is what you hear when you are on the backyard hammock we can understand your concerns.
maintain a blog, but sometimes I wonder why! OK. Now that I finally followed through with sending this email, I can throw out the July issues from last year that were meant to remind me :). Hope your life still includes some bright Sag Harbor moments. Best regards from Noyac. JERALYN-LASH SANDS
Critical Omissions Dear Editor, There is no question that Assemblyman Fred Thiele is a hard working legislator. In fact, judging from his rosy assessment of New York State one must assume all is well. So his article on “accomplishments” omits some critical areas. The debt burden is $300.6 billion. Last year was a rosy $6.6 billion debt repayments and expected to rise by $900.0 million this year! Raising the minimum
wage will raise unemployment for certain ethnic groups and first time workers; this is a long established fact. However, the unchecked inflow of illegal workers affords businesses a steady pool of workers. Raising the unemployment monies will only induce more unemployment and further the everincreasing black market for unreported business. Want to help New Yorkers? Authorize fracking, like Pennsylvania did, which eliminated unemployment in three neighboring counties. NYS ranks dead last in business climate, taxes amount to an average of 12.7 percent. New York State has entered the highly risky venture capital business -- can you say “Solyndra?” Thiele takes all of your money and then selectively gives you back some crumbs to make you feel he is doing well for you.

Actually New York State is nationally recognized as dysfunctional, not to say corrupt. The Legislators are paid $79,500.00 per year and $171.00 per day doing the peoples business, all the while working in the private sector. Nowhere did I see that New Yorkers are freer of regulation, or that taxes are actually lower. The incredible largess of state government sucks the entrepreneurial spirit out of its citizens. Sorry if you missed the rest of the story. TOM MULROONEY
Extremely Intelligent? Dear Jerry, I am totally mortified by my past feelings about you and your intelligence. I really thought in the past that you were extremely intelligent, aside from being a creative genius - most probably you are still a creative genius, but intelligent? No way! Anyone who can come out in writing and say that George W. Bush was one of the greatest presidents of all time must live in La La Land. Besides the fact that Bush left this country in a financial mess and sent our boys to fight a war that wasn’t -- he was by far the worst leader (“leader” - that is really a joke) of all time.

Above (right), the price for regular gas at a full serve station in Center Moriches on Monday morning. Above (left), the price per gallon for regular in Bonac.
OUCH! What’s a 70-cent per gallon, $7 to $14 per tank-full price differential among friends? Although gas prices were on the decline (supposedly) earlier this summer, it’s prime time for jacking those babies up again, especially in The Hamptons. The price differential measured by The Independent was 40 cents per gallon between East Hampton and points west over Memorial weekend, now it’s 70 cents per gallon. This as domestic production of oil in the United States has reached its highest levels since the 1990s. On Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular was $3.61 up from $3.47 a week earlier and $3.39 a year earlier. Gas prices on the East End substantially exceed the national average, and have for years. For example, while the average was $3.47 nationwide a week ago, on the South Fork, the average was $3.71, with gas stations in Amagansett and Montauk charging as much as $4.39 per gallon for regular. Assemblyman Fred Thiele has been conducting a survey of prices at stations along Montauk Highway. His most recent survey, over the July 4 weekend, showed that while prices dipped by between eight and four cents per gallon from mid May to the first weekend in July, at stations in Amagansett and Montauk, most increased their per gallon rate by ten cents.

Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard
CO Poisoning Is A Killer Most of us have heard of a tragic story of some poor soul giving it all up by ending his life in the garage. Close the door, start the car, and wait for a precious few moments. For many of us, that is all the thinking we ever do about carbon monoxide poisoning – which can be fatal. Of all the dangers that the mariner confronts, carbon monoxide poisoning is perhaps the most dangerous, since it is odorless, colorless and tasteless. Unarmed, you will never see it coming. Given its dangers, please read on.
Independent/Courtesy USCG
What Creates Carbon Monoxide? Burning hydrocarbons, plain and simple. Diesel, gasoline, propane – all are hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide (CO) is a natural byproduct of burning them. You cannot tune your engine to avoid creating CO. You can create CO-safe environments around and in your boat, but you cannot defy the laws of chemistry. Your engine doesn’t even have to be the one that is on. Your neighbor at the dock has his generator on to power the A/C and TV – and his exhaust is wafting into your cabin. Also, it could be your engine but you think you’re immune because you haven’t enclosed your cockpit. You have only enclosed the windshield and side panel areas, leaving the aft wide open. Well, it’s called the “station wagon effect,” when an area that is enclosed on three sides creates a vacuum behind it as it pushes ahead. And it is sucking CO into the “cup” it has created. You are in that cup. Even more tragic are the circumstances where (young?) boaters engage in “teak surfing.”
And the smell of it isn’t what is killing you. What you smell is unburned hydrocarbons. What you can’t smell is CO.
How do you know you are succumbing to it? Carbon monoxide kills by attaching itself to your blood cells in a way that keeps your blood from picking up fresh oxygen as it passes through your lungs. You essentially suffocate slowly while surrounded by air. Little by little, the CO hitches a ride on your blood cells until there are no seats left on the lifesustaining bus (your blood) for the oxygen. As it happens, you start to get headaches, muscle aches, excessive fatigue and nausea. I tell my seamanship students, “If you are starting to feel like you are coming down with the flu, but you don’t have the sniffles, get out of there! You may be dying of CO poisoning!” What Do You Do Now? Say you enter your cruiser, and you find a crewman lying unconscious on the sole of the cabin. The manual actually says that you are first to try to isolate the source of the fumes, extinguish them, and proceed to get your mate to fresh air (to start the cleansing cycle of kicking the CO’s out of their seats and replacing them with O’s). This strategy could cause two people to die from CO poisoning, not one. If you know that the only source of CO poisoning is your engine, and you can kill it in a virtual flash, do it – or get out of there immediately and run for help! If you have to play Sherlock Holmes looking for clues, you are playing with your life. Remember, it could be your slip-mate’s engine that is polluting your air. Also, the cabin has built up some degree of CO concentration. It may be a deadly amount and you don’t have a chemistry kit in your pocket. You are gambling with your life. You certainly can [1] grab a lungful of fresh air from outside, hold your breath and [2] try to drag the person out of the cabin. If you can’t, [3] drop them and run for help. If you can get them out, but they are not breathing, give them artificial respiration (sometimes called CPR) and scream for help between breaths. How To Prevent It? One, create fresh air paths that keep the station wagon effect from
www.indyeastend.com
overtaking you from behind. Don’t form that cup – crack a window somewhere and create a jet-stream through your boat. Just be aware that running on a “slow bell*” may still create an opportunity for CO to build up in your cockpit. Two, put carbon monoxide detectors in ALL enclosed spaces, especially sleeping quarters. These devices can be battery-operated and are readily available -- $29.95 at places like Home Depot, Wal-Mart, the Internet, etc. There are models that can be tied directly into your battery system like a bilge pump – never fails unless the battery itself is dead. I’ve
July 17, 2013

heard these devices. They can wake the dead. Almost. Be aware. Be safe. Always prepared – semper paratus! * Slow bell is putting just enough way on to maintain bare steerage. Back drafting can occur under such conditions – and you’ll never smell it. 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 . . .”

In The Eye Of The Storm
By Frank Quevedo
People are always astounded to learn that the fall bird migration on Long Island is well underway in mid-summer because we normally associate fall migration with cold weather. For many coastal and pelagic (oceanic) birds, the journey to their wintering grounds has already begun. From June thru November, the same time as hurricane season,
these birds are already on the move. As many coastal and pelagic birds are migrating vast distances over the Atlantic Ocean, they often encounter storm systems known as tropical depressions. These tropical depressions turn into tropical storms and often further develop and form into hurricanes. Fueled by warm moist ocean air rising upward from near the surface of the ocean,
REAL ESTATE
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
these hurricanes begin to rotate faster and faster in a clockwise formation creating an eye at the center of the storm. This eye of the storm can range anywhere from 20 to 40 miles wide. Within the eye of the storm it is very calm and clear with very low air pressure (similar to a gorgeous spring day). As these birds collide with these storms offshore, they are carried great distances and are displaced throughout a region in which they are not commonly found. As the hurricane passes over land and begins to weaken, it gives the birds caught in the eye an opportunity to escape. Exhausted and hungry, the birds drop out of the storm system and find themselves in a whole new scene. And for local birders, hopefully that

new scene is here on the East End. On August 29, 2011, the day after Hurricane Irene hit the South Fork of Long Island as a tropical storm, many of these birds landed on our south shore beaches battered and weakened. Early that morning my friend Jim Ash, Vice President of SoFo, and I headed down to Sagg Main Beach in Sagaponack to see if there would be any unusual birds to find. As we set up our spotting scopes I peered through the lens, and saw a bird that resembled a common tern but was much larger, about the size of a seagull. “A Caspian Tern” Jim says. For me, it’s a life-bird that I’ve never seen before, and alongside it, a Sandwich Tern, another life-bird. Wow, two life-birds in a matter of seconds! Now it’s a birding bonanza as we view and identify birds that a local birder would have to travel hundreds of miles or more to see. We also observed Royal Terns, Black Terns, Forster’s Terns and many Black Skimmers. Later that day, I heard reports of a Brown Pelican on Keyes Island in Three Mile Harbor, East Hampton, so I drove there and got to the best vantage point to view the island through my binoculars and sure enough there it was. I’ve seen Brown Pelicans before in Florida but never here on Long Island. Just as quickly as these birds get rerouted, they rest for a few days and then head back out to sea to continue their journey. So keep in mind the next time a storm like Hurricane Irene comes up the coast, after the storm passes, pick up a pair of binoculars and head down to the beach. There’s a good chance you’ll have some unexpected visitors waiting for you. Be sure to check out SoFo’s summer programs at www.sofo. org and join us on Sofo’s Birding for Beginners: Coastal and Pelagic Birds off Montauk on August 25.

Aviators, Whalers Make Their Move By Rick Murphy
What a difference a week makes. Last week at this juncture the Center Moriches Battlecats were in first place and on a roll. But while the Battlecats have come back to earth, the Westhampton Aviators have taken flight. Sag Harbor has moved into the thick of the race as well -- the Whalers have quietly won seven of their last 10 games. The bottom line: all three teams are scrambled for the top spot in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League standings, with Westhampton (16-12) holding on to a slim 1/2 game lead after beating Shelter Island on Thursday. Credit Cole Miller -- his fourth inning two-run blast first opened the scoring giving the Aviators 2-0 lead, and a solo shot in the eighth, his third of the season, made it a 4-0 affair. That was more than enough support for Preston Brown, who was on the hill for the winners. The right-hander, making only his
second start of the season, went eight innings and struck out seven batters. Chris Appell and Paschal Petrongolo each had two hits for Center Moriches, now 16-13 for the year. Jake Rogers had a pair of hits for the winners. Sag Harbor moved within a half game of the top spot by blanking Riverhead 3-0 last Wednesday. Lefthander Keenan Kolinsky, on the bump for the winners, had his good stuff on this day. He pitched seven shutout innings – he has yet to give up a run on the season – and struck out five. Jacob Bodner recorded the save, his 10th, the most ever in the HCBL. Connor Faust had two hits for the Whalers. Riverhead fell to 14-14. Shelter Island is hanging tough. The Bucks beat North Fork 5-0 last Wednesday to even their record at 14. Frank Trimarco took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and simply overwhelmed the Ospreys, who dropped to 12-17. Ryan Burns broke up the no-no with a solid single to center. Five Bucks finished the

Southampton (12-17) knocked off Center Moriches 6-1 last Wednesday. T.J. Pecoraro, making his HCBL debut, tossed a complete game five hitter while whiffing seven. Andrew Gorecki went deep for the winners, cracking a two-run blast in the fourth. Rivers Frederick added a triple and two ribbies for the winners. The league took a well-earned all-star break over the
weekend. Jerry Downs of Riverhead is the home run leader at the halfway mark with six. Rob Moore (Center Moriches) has 26 ribbies, tops in the league. J.C. Brandmaier is the batting leader, stroking the ball at a .380 clip. Jack Sundberg of Riverhead has 24 stolen bases. David Jesch (North Fork), Max Watt (Center Moriches) and Mike Wallace (Shelter Island) have all recorded four wins thus far. Jesch leads all pitchers with 40 strikeouts.

Bittersweet All-Star Week For Mets Fans The excitement, passion, and energy emanating from Flushing during this week’s MLB All-Star game was thrilling for Mets fans. It was a chance to show off one of baseball’s best parks. Unfortunately for most fans, these may be the only good memories generated so far at Citi Field. Unlike Yankees fans, Mets fans have enjoyed only limited periods of success during their team’s half century of existence. Ask any diehard fan, and their visions from 1969, 73, 86, 99, 2000, and ‘06, are likely very vivid. From Lenny Dykstra’s ninth inning walk-off home run to give the Mets a 6-5 win over the Astros in Game 3 of the 1986 NLCS, to Endy Chavez’s catch in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS, Shea had become a place for Mets fans to reminisce and connect.
Sure, it had deteriorated with age and didn’t offer any of the amenities of the modern day pantheons. But, as Gary Cohen, Mets play-by-play announcer on SNY, once said “It was our dump,” filled with memories of Casey’s ramblings, Tom Terrific’s fastball, the Kid’s smile, Doc’s heat, Piazza’s towering drives and “Ya Gotta Believe.” Citi Field has the full load of amenities, beautiful box seats, and quality restaurants. A majority of major league teams have built new parks over the past two decades, but baseball’s most traveled fans rank Citi Field right near the top of their list of favorite stadiums. But as nice as the stadium is, for Mets fans it’s like living alone in a mansion. It looks nice from the outside but there’s limited emotional connection. No memories, no

successes, no good times to share. And outside of 2009, its inaugural season, the park has spent most of its time less than half full. When construction of Citi Field began in July of 2006, the Mets were in the midst of one of their most successful seasons. That same month Carlos Beltran, David Wright, Paul Lo Duca, Carlos Delgado, and Jose Reyes graced the cover of Sports Illustrated. The team went on to win 97 games, before falling in the seventh game of the 2006 NLCS; still one of the most painful of memories for any Met fan. No fan, front office member, scout, or owner could’ve possibly predicted what this team would go through during the first five seasons in its new ballpark. Even after September collapses in 2007 and 2008, there was still optimism heading into 2009 at the new ballpark. The core from 2006 was, for the most part, still intact and maybe some fans thought the demolition of Shea Stadium would erase the bad karma brought on by the prior two seasons. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned and since then the front office has turned over, along with the manager, coaches, and almost

the entire roster. The Bernie Madoff scandal brought a black cloud over ownership and consequently both the Mets and Citi Field. This week’s All-Star game gave fans a reminder of what could have been, which is more painful than simply accepting what was. Fortunately for Mets fans, for the first time since Citi Field opened, the Mets plan for success is as crystalized as it’s ever been. We’ve seen Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler impress in the bigs, David Wright has developed into a leader, and there’s a bounty of quality minor league pitchers cruising through the farm system. 2013 won’t be a playoff season for the Mets. But for the first time in a while, the postseason feels like it’s within sight. While it was tough watching the All-Star game at Citi Field over the past week, the event should be a reminder to Mets fans of what it’s like to have a buzz in your home stadium. And it’s very possible that buzz could be here for real in the not too distant future. Pete is a lifelong Montauk resident and former sports talk host at 88.7FM WEER.

FANTASY SP By Skippy Brown

Fantasy Baseball: Still Plenty Of Time! Fantasy Baseball gets no respect. Fantasy Baseball is like the wife of a cheating husband – the mistress gets most of his attention – and money! Though we’ve been playing fantasy baseball since the first day of April, and though the season is only at its halfway point, it almost seems like it’s about to end. That’s because the very sexy and available Miss Fantasy Football is batting her eyelashes at us, and we quickly succumb to her charms. Most of the radio stations devoted to fantasy sports are switching over the football. All the football publications are on the newsstands. Most fantasy columnists are dutifully typing up their position rankings. I’m here to say it’s too early to give up on Fantasy Baseball – the old broad still has plenty of life in her! With a full half season to go anything can happen. Even last place teams can theoretically go all the way up the ladder. Yes, it’s difficult, but it can be done. First of all, a number of rookies will make their debuts in the second half. Some of these kids are future stars, so if you have holes in your lineups work the waiver wire wisely and fill them with some of the young studs. A lot of owners have straying
eyes. Their thoughts (and actions) drift to Fantasy Football. That means they aren’t paying attention – a great time to make trades for you. Keep working at it — even if most of your trade proposals are rebuffed it only take one big one to put you over the top. Think of trades like pretty girls in the bar. You can ask a lot of them to go home with you but you only need one to say yes. If you are in a keeper league and hopelessly behind, play for next year. Trade your overpriced players and those with bloated contracts and get some young players back for them. Assess what your team lacked in 2013 and begin to address your needs now. Never give up on a season – you owe it to your fellow owners to keep your head in the game. That’s not to say you can’t fool around a little bit -- you need to start paying some attention to the new girl. First of all familiarize yourself with all the offseason free agent signings, trades, and the college draft. Find out what teams have new offensive coordinators and head coaches and find out what their philosophies are. For example, Andy Reid, the new head coach at Kansas City, loves to open things up with long passes, and he loves to dump passes to his running backs.

Develop your own ranking system, listing players at each position in the order – but don’t operate in a vacuum – read what all the experts have to say. DON’T DO ANY LIVE DRAFTS! No matter how itchy you are, wait for the preseason to start. Too many bad things can happen. You do want to participate in mock drafts, however. Yes, you can let your eye wander a bit, but remember, you are still married to Fantasy Baseball

Off The Hook Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean Fluke bite in the bay has been decent with enough keepers to keep anglers interested. Squid/spearing combo and gulp doing the trick but spots and other larger live baits have accounted for a few good fish this week. Pat Dickson had two fluke over eight pounds one day early last week and two fluke over five on Saturday using spots inside the inlet. Bill Wuestefeld nailed a 10.18 pounder over at the Rampasture

area on July 9. The ocean fluke bite is showing signs of life but deep. Now that the winds have lessened a bit we can get out and explore the reef and surrounding area for the fluke and sea bass. A few good-sized sea bass have come from the open bottom as well. The bass bite has slowed considerably but they are still taking a few keepers on the live spots in the inlet and the clam chum at the bridge. Independent / Courtesy of East End Bait & Tackle
Bill Wuestefeld holds up a 10-plus pound flatty he pulled out at Rampasture last week.
Peconics Hearing of plenty of cocktail sized bluefish lurking around Jessups Neck falling for diamond jigs. The porgies are still in great numbers throughout the bay. Try anchoring up with some clam chum and clam baits around the south race or up near Jessups to get in on the action. The Gardiner’s will be your best bet for some keeper fluke. Shore Bound/ Canal/ Ocean Beaches /Jetties The Shinnecock Canal bite has slowed considerably but a few fluke, triggerfish and porgies have been taken. The snappers are beginning to show but not quite the size to target them, hold off a couple more weeks and we should be into them good. Ponquogue Bridge has been producing as few keeper fluke too. Bass have been under the bridge on the night tides with live bait and fresh chunks accounting for most keeper sized fish. News Be sure to come out and support the Hampton Bays Fire Dept. next weekend during their 3rd Annual Benny Lupia Fluke Tournament being held on Saturday. Entry applications are available at our shop and will also be available at the captains meeting at 7 PM on Friday at the main firehouse on Montauk Hwy. Capt.

Play Bridge Recently I gave this hand to several of my advanced bridge students. Most did not make the slam contract when both of the finesses they tried failed. If they tried a ruffing finesse with the queen of diamonds after cashing the ace of diamonds, it would not succeed since East held the queen. Declarer then had to fall back on a successful
finesse in clubs. Most guessed incorrectly and lost a trick to the queen of clubs. Down one! One declarer, Linda Riley, whose partner was her husband, realized that she did not need to try a finesse at all. She remembered that a finesse was as likely to fail as to succeed. So she made a plan with a different
July 17, 2013
www.indyeastend.com
line of play. After winning the first trick with the ace of hearts, Linda won the ace of diamonds, returned to her hand with a trump and led a second diamond which she trumped in dummy. She returned to her hand with a high trump and led her last diamond and trumped in dummy. At this point, she played her losing heart. No matter which defender won that trick, he could not lead a club because Linda would get a “free finesse”. If he led a diamond or a heart, Linda would discard the nine of clubs and trump in dummy. Six spades bid and made by a clever South.
