To Celebrate Historical Gem

By Laura Field

Independent / Courtesy David Lys

While families flock to the beach by the thousands this summer, many will pass by the Amagansett Life Saving and Coast Guard Station without a second glace.

Tucked away on Atlantic Avenue, this historical gem was built in 1902 and was the third built in the hamlet. It’s the only remaining Life Saving and Coast Guard Station in Amagansett.

In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s there were several Life Saving and Coast Guard Stations along the coast of the East End, and their purpose was to rescue victims of coastal shipwrecks. Many men from local families served at the Life

IN THE NEWS

Saving and Coast Guard Station, and were equipped with flotation devices and lifeboats.

The station was designed by George R. Tolman in Quonochontaug style. It has a lookout tower, a room for storing the boats, and living quarters.

The Life Saving and Coast Guard Station also has a rich military historical significance. During World War II, a coastguardsman stumbled upon four Nazi saboteurs who landed their U-boat off the coast of Atlantic Avenue. The men were captured after the incident was reported to the Coast Guard Intelligence in New York. Every year local historians and volunteers celebrate -- often with a reenactment -- the bravery of the local man who discovered and reported the Nazis, thwarting their plan.

I n 19 6 6 J o e l C a r m i c h a e l purchased the abandoned station from the town for a dollar and turned it into his family home. After his death in 2006, his family gave the station back to the town, and it was moved to its original location.

A massive restoration project commenced, with organizers determined to return the station to its original glory, room by room, shingle by shingle. Once complete, the station will be home to a museum, lifeguard offices, and public meeting spaces.

David Lys, chair of the Life Saving Station, compiled photographs of the restoration as it progressed over the years. This week begins The Independent’s “Coast Guard Station: Then and Now” photograph series chronicling the process from its inception.

The building was classified as a historic structure by the town, and all life saving stations are on the national register. Lys made it clear that the station was “currently in the process of trying to get our specific station on the state register.”

Lys was first made aware of the project by former advisory board member Robert Strada and current member, then East Hampton Town councilman, Dominic Stanzione. “It intrigued me,” stated Lys. “While visiting my parents at their house in North Carolina I stopped by a life saving station called Chicacocomico.

I had a meeting with a [former bayman] Milton Miller, stationed at the life saving station as a coast guard. After that meeting I was sold on the project, and I made a promise to him to help see through the rest of the restoration.”

The station received 99 percent private funding for the restoration through generous funding and in-kind trade. “Contractor Ben Krupinski started us off, and then we CONTINUED ON PAGE 34.

EXCLUSIVE:

JERRY DELLA FEMINA INTERVIEWS JERRY DELLA FEMINA ON THE SECRET OF LIFE This Friday, July 22, is my birthday and in my honor, I’ve decided to once again interview myself.

JERRY THE REPORTER: How old are you?

JERRY THE BIRTHDAY BOY: None of your damn business. Let me just say that I’m so, so old that when I have sexual fantasies about women in their 50s, I feel like a pedophile.

JERRY THE REPORTER: You always seem to be mad at someone. Who are you mad at now?

JERRY THE BIRTHDAY BOY: Actually I’m not mad at anyone.

I found peace at a King Kullen Supermarket. Just the other day a woman in King Kullen showed me where I stand in this world and what I have achieved.

We were both standing in line and she saw I had a copy of The Independent in my basket and she brightened up and said, “Oh, you just reminded me, I have to get a copy of that newspaper.”

I must admit I started to puff up and was just about to say, in the

most modest way I could, “Thank you, I’m so happy you enjoy my column,” when she added: “I use that newspaper to line my table when I do a clam bake.”

JERRY THE REPORTER: You’re ancient. Are you, at this age, ready to tell us the secret of life?

JERRY THE BIRTHDAY BOY: Sure, the secret of life, that’s an easy one.

I think about it every day.

I’ve had two wonderful wives, I have five great kids – Donna, Michael, Jodi, Jessie and J.T. – and seven wonderful grandchildren: Zoey, Zach, Jack, William, Anabel, Charlie and Maggie. That’s the secret of life.

It all came to me at another birthday celebration for me that took place 12 years ago at a family beach bonfire. I was sitting cross-legged on the beach in the most uncomfortable position one could be in while one is contemplating his life.

I stared into the fire and this is what I thought: I’m lucky. I’m so, so lucky.

I’m lucky because I grew up in Brooklyn and I live in New York City and in The Hamptons and it doesn’t get better anywhere else in the world.

I’ve lived and live in the best of times. The three greatest inventions in the history of mankind have come in my lifetime. Forget about penicillin and splitting the atom.

Penicillin is about sickness and the atom is about death.

The three greatest inventions of my, and your, lifetime are: The George Foreman Grill EZPass The iPod. Take it from the birthday boy.

Eating, listening to great music, and not waiting on tollbooth lines are what a good, superficial life is all about.

As the fire burned I thought about my birthday and how, somehow, in my life I got all the breaks.

I’m lucky because I was in advertising in the 1970s when it was wild and crazy and I was, some would say, the wildest and the craziest. It came naturally. I survived.

I came into advertising in the 1960s as a messenger without much of a fancy education. I was delivering packages for $24 a week.

By 1978 I co-owned a $600 million advertising agency. I also learned that money isn’t the end-all. I would go out to my fancy L.A. office and my agency-leased Hollywood Hills home and rent a convertible and ride the coast highway alone, obsessively playing the Neil Diamond song “I Am I Said” over and over. The words of this part of the song were not lost on me: “Did you ever read about a frog Who dreamed of bein’ a king And then became one Well except for the names And a few other changes If you talk about me The story’s the same one” Now as I stared at the bonfire I realized how my family and extended family have grown. There, sitting cross-legged with much more ease than me, were our good friends Michael and Nancy Hodin and Andy Saffir and Daniel Benedict. All five of my children and their spouses and their children were enjoying the fire under a blanket of stars and a worldclass moon.

I sat and looked at my family and I thought about how small my family was when I was a kid. It was my brother Joe and I, my mom and dad, and my grandparents. My wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, who was an only child, grew up in a smaller family than mine.

We never talked about having a big family. It just happened.

Then I realized that when Connie and Michael Della Femina had their first child, they set off a chain that

IN THE NEWS

came together here around this beautiful bonfire.

In the end it’s about family. It’s not about religion or money or power or any of the things we all grow up thinking that mattered. It’s about family.

I looked at my family and watched as the light of the bonfire flickered and reflected on their faces.

My sweet granddaughter Zoey Hart, then just 14 years old, took her musically-talented dad Adam’s guitar from him and started to play and sing. Her sweet voice had its own orchestra of waves that were softly hitting the shore. She’s very talented. That’s just not grandfather talk, that’s the plain old truth.

My daughter, Donna, looking very much like her wonderful mother Barbara, proudly watched and kept a close eye on her other child Zach, who was toasting and consuming marshmallows at an alarming rate.

The firelight made everyone’s eyes sparkle. My daughter Jodi was holding Anabel, whom everyone calls Beany, the oldest of her three beautiful children. Beany, with her Asian/Italian looks, is so, so beautiful she takes my breath away.

Next to her was my son Michael and his wife, the beautiful and sweet and stylish Laurie, and their two handsome sons, Jack and William.

Now my granddaughter passed her guitar to John Kim, my son-inlaw. John is a born entertainer. He played his guitar and sang in the frat houses of Brown and Harvard, where he went to school. His singing voice is rich and husky and I hear a lot of Rod Stewart when he sings.

John started to play the guitar.

He started singing the old Rolling Stones classic, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want:” “No, you can’t always get what you want You can’t always get what you want You can’t always get what you want But if you try sometime you just might find You get what you need.”

I looked at the faces in the firelight: Judy ... Jessie ... J.T. ... Beany ... Donna ... Michael ... Laurie ... Adam ... William ... Jack ... John ... Jodi ...

Zoey ... Zach ...

My family. My life.

John Kim’s husky voice filled the soft night air.

“You can’t always get what you want.”

I smiled to myself.

“Oh yes you can,” I thought to myself. “Oh yes you can.”

I know I did.

The East End of Long Island has always been a hot bed of history, rich with sites dating back to early settlers centuries ago. This week, the South Fork environs are posed to make history, with the construction of the largest offshore wind farm in the United States on the horizon.

It’s a distant horizon, literally.

The farm will be sited in federallyleased waters 30 miles off Montauk.

It won’t be visible from land.

The Long Island Power Authority is expected to formally approve the proposed 90-megawatt, 15-turbine wind farm east of Montauk at a board meeting today, Thomas Falcone, chief executive officer for LIPA told The Associated Press.

Deepwater Wind, a leading U.S. offshore wind and transmission developer, will spearhead the project. Said Deepwater Wind CEO Jeffrey Grybowski in a release, “New York is boldly leading the way on a clean-energy revolution that will transform the nation’s energy future. Our project is not just the best site for offshore wind in the country, it’s also the right solution to meet the South Fork’s energy demands in a clean and cost-effective way. There’s real momentum for offshore wind in the United States, and Long Islanders are leading the charge.”

Governor Andrew Cuomo agrees.

He said last week, “The LIPA Board of Trustees Wednesday will consider advancing the development of the nation’s largest offshore wind farm off the coast of Long Island. I strongly encourage the Trustees to once again demonstrate New York’s leadership on climate change and help achieve the state’s ambitious goal of supplying 50 percent of our electricity from renewable energy by 2030.

“Investing in New York’s clean energy economy strengthens our communities by providing access to clean, affordable power and good quality green jobs. Next week marks another opportunity for this state to lead the nation in creating a stronger, more resilient energy system and protecting the environment for future

generations.”

Heather Leibowitz, the Director of Environment New York, statewide, citizen-based environmental advocacy organization, echoed the sentiment.

“Offshore wind needs to be a significant part of the energy mix,” she said. “It is key to putting the Empire State on a path toward an economy powered entirely by renewable energy. The 90-megawatts of energy produced off east Montauk will get us one step closer to this goal.

“LIPA’s approval of the project is key to meeting Governor Cuomo’s interim goal of 50 percent clean energy within 15 years,” she continued.

“Constructing the nation’s largest offshore wind energy project is momentous and puts New York right where it should be—at the front of the pack. Accelerating our transition to pollution-free energy sources means cleaner air for families, less global warming pollution, more stable electricity bills, and a stronger economy.”

In East Hampton, the town board unanimously voted to set a goal of achieving 100 percent renewable energy. “ T h e To w n h a s s u p p o r t e d offshore wind, and Deepwater Wind’s project was an integral part of the Town Board’s plan when it unanimously adopted the Town’s 100% renewable energy goals in 2014,” said Supervisor Larry Cantwell. “The Town’s policy is paving the way for renewables, wind, solar, and conservation to become a real alternative to massive transmission lines and greenhousegas-emitting fossil fuels.”

“The Town’s renewable energy goals and the hard work of many individuals who support the Town Board’s decision really highlights how East Hampton is leading by example,” said Town Councilwoman Sylvia Overby. “LIPA’s decision brings the 100% renewable energy goal significantly closer to reality.”

“The Town held a number of outreach events, with staff from Natural Resources and volunteers of the Energy & Sustainability CONTINUED ON PAGE 21.

Can Pokémon Please Go? where do you

By Laura Field

If you haven’t heard of Pokémon Go, you must have been living under a rock for the past two weeks.

Nintendo released a new app for Smart Phone (not necessarily smart people) that allows users to track Pokémon via a GPS and capture the critters or battle other users.

I am part of the minority who is not playing the game due to the fact that I didn’t care about Pokémon 10 years ago and the sentiments remain the same now.

Besides kicking myself for not investing in Nintendo stock a month ago ($7.5 billion increase in Nintendo’s market value), I am utterly perplexed by the craze. I had

someone walk out in front of the Chevy Silverado I was driving buried in their phone trying to find a Pikachu, almost becoming a pancakeachu.

A man was hit by a bus playing Pokémon Go, and now there is a rise of abductions linked to game.

I am a “do what you want to do” type of person, but I also have gotten a little tired of people running through the store where I work in hunting imaginary creatures. I have had to pick up a display that someone knocked over as they sprinted out the door to catch a rare Pokémon that showed up on Main Street in Sag Harbor.

The more p e r p l e x i n g discovery was a milk carton painted red that was glued to our building. This apparently signifies a meeting place for players, and there were several more glued to other buildings along the street.

The screen shot of the game on this page advises players to be safe and aware of their surroundings.

So by all means enjoy your game, but don’t be stupid, and don’t rude.

Sunday Rallies Seek Social Justice

By Kitty Merrill

A group of teens in a car were pulled over by police, supposedly for failing to signal a turn. All the friends were pulled out of the car and searched.

Except the white boy.

He was taken to the side and admonished for hanging out with blacks.

This wasn’t in Mississippi, and it wasn’t in the 1950s.

I t w a s c i r c a 2 0 01 i n Bridgehampton.

“It cut my heart to pieces,“ Willy Jenkins recalled. “I thought, ‘This is what being black is in Bridgehampton.’ . . . now I know better.”

National events – the killings of unarmed black men, the killings of police – prompted Jenkins to join with organizers Donna Stovall and Vanessa Vascez-Corleone to hold a rally in East Hampton Village on Sunday.

About three dozen supporters came out to Herrick Park on the sweltering afternoon, crafting signs that called for justice and fairness.

East Hampton Village Police Chief Jerry Larsen greeted the organizers with hugs. They posed for photographs together and Larsen said, ”This is a good way to show how police and the community can work together and respect each other.”

Response by motorists passing by the demonstration was tepid.

Few honked horns in support, even fewer expressed opposition. Driving past in Escalades, Benzes and Beemers, motorists – predominatly white – simply looked on without obvious expression.

As demonstrators crafted posters, Tina Guglielmo stood alone at the barricade holding up the cover of Times magazine emblazoned with the words, “Black Lives Matter.” One CONTINUED ON PAGE 34.

JULY!

So much color, so little time.

It’s also really hot out in the garden. Use sunscreen like your health depended upon it and wear a hat or cap. It’s easy to lose oneself in a going July garden, so keep bottled water nearby and don’t overdo it.

Hydrangeas are peaking, although this year a bit late. Probably due to the cold spring. When the initial blush of flowers is complete, I cut away leaves that block blossoms. I also cut down some of the higher stems to shape the plant. Besides that, just enjoy.

Tiger lilies, the orange ones all around us, are beginning to finish. I remove the stems and the yellowing foliage to preserve the looks of the plant itself. Soon I’ll cut the foliage down a lot as day lilies do not fade well.

Ferns. I keep horsetail ferns on the side of my house out of the way and move them into the day lily spots and any other places that need filler to keep the areas green and full. This is tricky because if you don’t remove them in the fall, they will double next spring. Not a

terrible problem as they are easy to take out and restock for next late July or August. Remember the runners on the ferns can travel so pull them out. Also, my neighbors benefit from the extra plants.

Another added bonus is that the deer don’t eat them so I plant them outside the fence (deer country ) along the street front.

Roses. This is the dormancy period for most of my roses. After the first big blush the roses are trimmed back and take about three weeks to gather strength to flower again. From here till frost, there will be roses sporadically. My plants get straggly despite the trimming but the blooms are worth it.

Smoke plant. I saw this plant on a TV show years ago. It has a bloom like smoke that encompasses the entire plant. The smoke lasts a long while, then comes back again.

My plant is in its fourth spot in the garden and has finally thrived. The plant needs five to six hours of sun.

I place it behind the roses and the two work well together.

Hostas heaven. There are so many varieties and they all do well in shady areas but can really go big in sun.

Lantana. This is an annual with small very colorful blooms. They die down and take forever to bloom again and then again. I buy them on two separate occasions about 2-3 weeks apart and plant together so there are always some in bloom.

They are nice now, but great in September and October when they are bigger and provide sharp color, which is hard to find.

Grasses. Years ago my wife suggested that the garden needed grasses for texture. Honey, you are so right. There are lots of grasses to choose from and about now they’re CONTINUED ON PAGE 24.

TWA Flight 800 Remembered

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone joined the families and friends of those who were on board TWA Flight 800 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the crash on Sunday. The plane crashed just eight miles off the South Shore on July 17, 1996 – killing all 230 passengers and crew on board.

Finding Balance In A Hectic World

By Laura Field

When I think of fitness, I think of my rugby season. I think of endless running, tackling, and lifting drills.

When I think of fitness, paddle boarding doesn’t come to mind; or rather, it didn’t until last Friday.

Alyson Follenius is a holistic heath instructor who spends her days swimming, paddle boarding, surfing, and most importantly, trying to help people find balance in their life. Alyson has a passion for fitness, as well as empowering people to do things that are outside their comfort zones. She considers the water to be “a metaphorical world where things are constantly changing and you can either go with it or dig in and change paths.”

Alyson was never a fragile girl when she was young, and didn’t like to be told that certain things were just for boys. The ex Lulu Lemon manager inspires other women and girls to find their strength to do whatever it is that drives them.

Paddle boarding, to my surprise, engages your legs, core, and arms all while you feel as though you are

walking on water. Fighting against currents and wind can make the scenic activity quite the workout.

Unlike my rugby practices, that usually leave my body scattered with bruises and feeling exhausted, after paddling boarding I felt completely at peace.

“It really is salt water therapy,” stated Follenius, who spends most of her days in the water.

Alyson has competed in several paddle board races, and even

participated in a winter paddle session around Louse Point in Springs. “I used to come out every day after work, it was a way to release everything, and I wish I could spend all day out here now.”

With a life devoted to instructing others, Alyson has really found the perfect balance in her own life as well.

At the outset of our session, Alyson made it a point to cover all of the safety requirements.

Unfortunately there has been an outrageously high amount of water related accidents and fatalities this summer, so she made sure I was equipped with a life vest, ankle strap, and a general knowledge of the area incase we got separated.

Luckily for me, the water at Louse Point was calm for our outing (no unintended swimming for me), and crystal clear. Paddle boards tend to be lightweight, so maneuvering my vessel into the water was one of the easier parts of the expedition.

The session lasted about an hour, and between dodging kayakers, other paddle boarders, and boats, it was entertaining from beginning to end.

I had been paddle boarding with a friend once before, and was more or less tossed on and told to figure it out. This time I was taught the proper way to mount the board; starting on your knees and using

your hands to help get you to your feet.

What surprised me the most was how easy it was to pick it up.

I was positive that I was going to be reenacting the scene in the Titanic where Rose hangs off the floating door screaming for help as the rescue crew slowly drifts away from her. But it seems as though my years of yoga gave me good balance, and the only time I ended up in the water was when it was just too beautiful to not jump in and have an impromptu swim.

So if you are like me, and think of fitness as a constant drills or high intensity, I highly recommend taking some time to explore more peaceful fitness allies. If you are interested in learning more about what Alyson does, or want to find more balance in your life, call her at 631-987-2187.

Huge Drug Bust There has been an alarming increase in street level sales of cocaine and heroin in recent years, local police have reported.

Yesterday East End officials announced the East End Drug Task Force has hopefully dealt a critical blow to the market.

As of press time Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota and other law enforcement officials were set to announce a series of arrests and seizures that, according to a press release, constitute a “dismantling of two drug distribution networks; one dealing heroin, the other cocaine, in eastern Suffolk County.”

Fourteen people have been arrested and arraigned thus far, including three members of the Bloods street gang. More arrests are expected. The names of suspects were not released by press time.

Multiple kilograms of cocaine and heroin were seized during the execution of more than one dozen search warrants.

The EEDTF is a multi-jurisdictional drug enforcement unit funded by the office of Suffolk County District Attorney. The task force includes detectives, police officers and law enforcement personnel from the New York State Police, Suffolk County Police Department, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, Suffolk County Department of Probation, Southampton Town Police Department, Riverhead Police Department, East Hampton Town Police Department, Southampton Village Police Department, Southold Town Police Department, DEA, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Suffolk County District Attorney Investigators.

The DA was set to exhibit kilograms of heroin and cocaine, firearms, and traps devised by drug dealers to hide drugs and, in one instance, $95,000 in cash. Investigators found a trap in the front seat console of a dealer’s car, and a trap in an aquarium stand found at another alleged dealer’s house.

One dealer was said to make weekly purchases of a kilo of cocaine in New York City to sell to users in East Hampton, Riverhead, Southampton, and Southold Towns.

Local members of the Bloods street gang ran the heroin network, officials said.

Both drug distribution networks operated on the East End primarily in the towns of Riverhead and Southampton but also included cocaine and heroin street sales in the Brookhaven Town communities of Port Jefferson, Mt. Sinai, Sound Beach, Mastic, Shirley, and the Moriches area.

Fight Against Breast Cancer Intensifies

By Rick Murphy

In August, 2002 Gina Kolata penned, “The Epidemic That Wasn’t” for the New York Times wherein she reached a stunning conclusion: “For years, it has been widely thought that rates of breast cancer on Long Island are unusually high. But, contrary to popular belief, they are not. The rates on Long Island are not much different from those of the rest of the country.”

Kolata’s information refuted a national study and even bucked articles in her own newspaper. “The perception of an epidemic has persisted like a suburban legend,” she wrote, refuting a study the breast cancer rates were 30 percent higher on Long Island than in the rest of the country.

But Kolata, though well meaning, was tragically mistaken. Breast Cancer is indeed an epidemic – all over the country. And there are hotbeds right here on the East End. A recently concluded study by the New York State Department Of Health shows that breast cancer incidence in the East End Towns (taken together) is very similar to that for Suffolk County as a whole (142.8/100,000 women vs. 142.3/100,000). These data are for years 2009-2013, the most recent available. The county does not break it down by time.

For (female) breast cancer, Suffolk is the sixth highest in the state, significantly higher than the statewide average, though comparable with some other large suburban counties like Nassau and Westchester.

In 2003 New York State officials began the arduous task of producing a neighborhood-by-neighborhood cancer mapping system that identifies cancer clusters to see if that big industry down the street is surrounded by new cancer cases.

Though the study didn’t focus on breast cancer per se, it revealed both the existence of clusters and

the futility of relying on data: for example, people can live in one community but work in another; some people have lived in the same neighborhood for year and others just moved in; some people are more genetically-prone to cancer than others, and so on.

Research continues to show there are many lifestyle choices we can make to help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Maintaining a healthy diet, enjoying regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and other carcinogens are all important ways to stay healthy, Kolata wrote.

“Governor Andrew Cuomo has made breast cancer screening and prevention a top priority. Under his leadership, New York State is taking the most aggressive action in the nation to improve access to breast cancer screening so that New Yorkers can get the health care and services they need and deserve,” a NYS State DOH spokesman said this week. “Legislators recently passed the governor’s legislation which expands screening hours at hospitals and clinics, removes insurance barriers, and offers paid leave for screenings to all public employees.”

(There is a story about the gala elsewhere in this section and tickets are still available.)

These important services are already offered at the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Southampton Hospital, but adding them to the atrium increases access to these services for women living west of the Shinnecock Canal.

“The Ellen Hermanson Breast Center is a critical resource for women on the East End, enabling us to provide a comprehensive array of diagnostic services and treatment as well as invaluable support services for diagnosed patients and their families,” said Robert Chaloner, President and CEO of Southampton Hospital.

The new facility is about “increased access,” said Julie Ratner, the late Ellen Hermanson’s sister and the driving force behind the

Foundation.

“By moving further west we open the door to serving more of the community,” she pointed out. She envisions 2500 mammograms per year being performed in Hampton Bays in addition to the 6500 done yearly at Southampton Hospital.

There are very few mammography systems with the capability if the tomosynthesis unit, which featured 3D capability and state of the art technology.

The Foundation through its Ellen’s Well program goes well beyond detection services. Patients are supported throughout the course of their battles with breast cancer. Services include an oncological social worker to provide psychiatric bilingual support, nutrition counseling, transportation renewal and support programs and wellness programs like yoga and message therapy.

But the Starry Night event, held to benefit Ellen’s Well and the Ellen Hermanson Breast Centers, isn’t just about getting glammed up and partying down – it’s about saving lives.

Controlling and preventing breast cancer is all about early

In that sense The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is a victim of its own success -- the more service it provides, the higher the annual cost grows.

“We keep all the money we raise local,” Ratner pointed out. “It’s about getting local women state of the art treatment.”

decades ago. “I still miss her,” she said in a recent interview.

Ratner vowed to do something in her memory, and do something for other women who face the devastating disease.

She started the foundation that carries her sister’s name and Ratner, a runner in her own right, started Ellen’s Run, a race to raise funds for breast cancer prevention and care.

It has been a remarkable success

story, measured not only in the breast centers it helped fund but also in the lives it helped save.

Ellen Hermanson was by all accounts a remarkable woman, and her courageous fight is the inspiration for thousands of women and the race that bears her name.

The Ellen Hermanson Foundation endures, and its crown jewel is the Breast Center at Southampton Hospital and the new facility in Hampton Bays, which is open now (see accompanying story).

Saturday’s summer blast will run from 7 to 10 PM. Jennifer Finkelstein of the 5 Under 40 Foundation and the doctors, nurses and staff at the Southampton Breast Center of Southampton Hospital will be honored.

Ticket information is available at www/ellensrun.org/ and by calling 212-840-0916.

Chris Robbins of Robbins Wolfe Eventeurs will cater the affair and DJ Andrew Merlino and percussionist Gabo Tomasini from the band Bio Ritmo will provide music.

The event will be held in a private field at the intersection of Wickapogue Road and Old Town Lane in Southampton Village rain or shine. There will be a dancing, a silent auction, and plenty of parking. Tickets will be available at the door, so feel free to drop by if last minute plans fall through.

The better way to purchase tickets is online, though.

“We have accomplished a great deal and we want to celebrate it and tell the world out here what we have done,” Ratner said.

SAFE: Beach Driving Article Not Accurate

By Rick Murphy

Cindi Crain, the co-founder and spokeswoman for Safe Access For Everyone (SAFE), said several points in an article in last week’s Independent are not true.

Most important, Crain said her organization is open to negotiations about truck traffic on the so-called “Truck Beach” in Amagansett. East Hampton Town’s attorney, Anthony Tohill, said that wasn’t the case.

“We are all for spreading out the traffic and encourage it,” she said this week. “They have all this beach they are not using.”

Crain moved to the area in 2006; Ken Silverman, another vocal member of SAFE moved there in the 80s, and they are not married to each other, as was stated in the article.

Tohill said Crain knew what the conditions on the beach were.

“I had no idea what was going on,” Crain countered. “There was no signage. It wasn’t listed as a beach

access point.”

SAFE is not a litigant to the suit; there are 120 homes in the development, 28 of which are beachfront.

The homeowner’s association and homeowners with individual titles filed the suit, which asks the town to limit truck traffic on the beach in front of their properties.

On another front, the town is moving to condemn the property should they lose the suit.

Both sides are preparing post trial briefs that are due August 31.

The town is also appealing a denial for summary judgment.

“The idea that I and SAFE are too rigid to engage is silly. The town has not made any attempt to engage with me,” Crain said. “SAFE continues to put out ideas to resolve the matter and neither the town nor the drivers are interested.”

SAFE has repeatedly suggested trucks use South Flora/Dolphin Drive, an uninhabited beach where there is a legal access point.

Top Cop Spot Still Wide Open It will be awhile before Southampton Town chooses its new police chief.

A search committee screened nine candidates in the opening round of interviews, said Assistant Town Supervisor Frank Zappone.

There are three other applicants on hold. “We are waiting for Civil Service clarification” to see if they legally qualify for the post, Zappone explained. If they do qualify one or more could be interviewed.

At that point Zappone said “a significantly pared down list” would be presented to the Southampton Town Board, which will conduct the next round of interviews.

Sources told The Independent three candidates among those interviewed have emerged as favorites. Zappone said that is not the case.

Ken LaValle Secures Funding Fight Lyme Disease

By Rick Murphy

Senator Ken LaValle announced this week that he has secured $75,000 in state funding to be utilized for fighting Lyme and tickborne diseases on the East End. LaValle, a member of the NY Senate Coalition Task Force on Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases, obtained the monies for Southampton Hospital’s Tick-Borne Disease Resource Center.

Additionally, legislation cosponsored by LaValle, to educate and increase awareness of the diseases among students has passed both the senate and assembly and will be transmitted to the governor for consideration.

“With the continuing high incidence of these tick-borne illnesses, we need to work to eradicate the diseases and end the transmission to individuals.”

L a Va l l e s a i d . “ S o u t h a m p t o n Hospital’s Tick-Borne Disease Resource Center has led the way in educational outreach for the public on both the North and South Forks. Additionally, they support programs for elementary-aged children to make them more aware of the issues, have run medical symposia on the topic, and are participants in a National Institute of Health study for diagnosis of the Lyme disease. I am pleased that we are able to gain state support for these vital programs.”

Robert S. Chaloner, President and Chief Executive Officer of

Southampton Hospital, said, “The public need for education and access to diagnosis and treatment of tick-borne illness continues to grow on the East End. We are grateful for Senator LaValle’s assistance in obtaining a NYS grant of $75,000 for the second year in a row. This funding will continue the mission of Southampton Hospital’s TickBorne Disease Center to provide the best possible information and to promote collaboration within the medical community on the North and South Forks.”

Senator LaValle also announced that a bill he sponsored to educate and increase awareness of tickborne diseases for school children will be sent to the governor.

The bill would require the state to create age-appropriate educational materials that would be readily available to schools to assist students in identifying ticks, the procedures for their safe removal, and best practices for protection from ticks.

“It’s important that the state take an active role to assure that our children are well informed about prevention measures and the effects of these illnesses,” LaValle said. A past co-chair of the Senate Coalition Task Force on Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases, LaValle noted that the state has invested $1.7 million dollars for research, education, and tick-borne disease prevention efforts over the past three years.

Town Board Sets Hearing On Controversial Proposal Independent / Rick Murphy

Though members of Shinnecock Golf Course say that Tuckahoe Road is too dangerous to run through the course, locals counter that no one recalls an accident there.

By Rick Murphy

The Southampton Town Board, on August 4, will hold a hearing on a controversial proposal to close a portion of Tuckahoe Road.

It promises to be a doozy.

The portion of the road not coincidentally, runs through Shinnecock Golf Course, and it is the Club’s well-heeled membership pushing for the change, which will re-route Tuckahoe Road away from the course.

Considerable opposition has surfaced, primarily among locals who historically have enjoyed the breathtaking views from that portion of the road.

Club officials contend the road has become increasingly dangerous, with golfers crisscrossing it as many as six times during a round while vehicles seeking to avoid the traffic jam typical of County Road 39 use Tuckahoe Road as a bypass.

The Club is willing to pay the town for the closure, to pay for the entire cost of the re-routing, and to kick in funds to the struggling Tuckahoe School District as well according to a reliable source.

One measure of their resolve is the fact the Club members sent former NYC mayor Michael

Bloomberg to discuss the matter with Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman.

To make it work, the town would have to extend St. Andrews Road north. Traffic heading north on Tuckahoe Lane at the Southampton College intersection would be rerouted by making a sharp right after going through the CR 39 light to a yet to be opened extension near the railroad tracks. It would run about 900 feet east to St. Andrews Road, which would have to be extended to Tuckahoe Road by the Tuckahoe Lane/Sebonac Road intersection.

The new road would primarily go through woodlands but would impact a handful of homes.

Schneiderman said he hoped that somewhere along the way an overpass could be created to capture some of the views being taken away from the public.

Town Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor said he would have to sign off on the plan and that he would never do so. Gregor said he was approached in 2011 by a representative of the Club and after doing due diligence he rejected the plan.

RICK’S SPACE I Missed The Bus

I missed the video game craze.

Like most kids my age, I used to play board games – Monopoly comes to mind - and more sophisticated stuff like the Avalon Hill series that recreated famous battles like “Gettysburg” which came out in 1958 and “Chancellorsville” which was published three years later.

My big brother, seven years older, was a military buff and enjoyed mastering the intricacies of these games, which took hours to play.

In fact, my mother was such a good sport that if we had a board game going on the dining room table and it was time for dinner she would move us to the living room and let us eat there so the game wouldn’t be disturbed.

It was in that room that “Clumpus” as I was known during my awkward years, spilled a glass of grape juice on the new beige couch while I was trying to balance my dinner plate on my lap.

“Mom, when you beat him make sure he’s not standing near the game board,” my brother helpfully

Your locally owned community pharmacy for over 75 years Bob GrisnikPharmacist/Owner

suggested.

My favorite game was Strat-OMatic baseball, wherein you could replicate an entire major league season, game by game if you wanted. Each game took about five hours, which meant if you started to replay a season when you were 11 chances were you’d be dead long before the season ended.

By the time video games came out I was over my infatuation with playing with myself (well, sort of).

When I was 18 they had games like bowling and shuffleboard in the bars, along with juke boxes and other things you poured money into (like barmaids).

Once they came out with this machine that tested your knowledge. They gave you five questions and if you got them right you went to the bonus round and so on.

As I poured beer down I provided the right answer as loudly as possible while gleefully announcing how brilliant I was to everyone.

RENTALS • TOURS PADDLE BOARD

Finally one of the drunks explained that the way the game was designed: the dumber you were the more money you wasted on it.

“Hell, even I know that and I’ve been drunk since the third grade,” he slurred. Oh. By the time Pac-Man came around I was so far out of the loop that I didn’t even bother to play.

I was still killing the “Test Your Knowledge” machine.

Pokémon was originally invented for Game Boy, which I never had either. There was nothing sadder than seeing some little nerd with his head buried playing some ridiculous game. Why couldn’t they do something constructive like roll the dice, shuffle the cards and stare blankly at the Strat-O-Matic stats for five hours?

This is the 20th anniversary of Pokémon, and the new game, Pokémon Go has taken the whole gaming thing to another level, and people are becoming addicted to playing it on their Smart Phones.

Unlike video games, I am all up in Smart Phones. I have a brand new Samsung 7 that is waterproof (that’s right, eat your hearts out, losers!) with all the latest apps. I even have a Strat-O-Matic app. I text, I tweet, and have a built in movie camera, I have ringtones from every single song played by the Grateful Dead

at the infamous Cornell University concert in 1977, considered the best show of all time by many scholars (OMG how cool am I?) I was going to give the new game a try until I read the Wall Street Journal the other day. It said Pokémon players, “Could get hurt searching unsafe places like dark alleys . . .” (Just as an aside, is there such a thing as a safe dark alley?)

The reason is the game employs your phone’s real GPS and sends you on a journey to catch “Poké Balls” that appear to “hover” – they appear where you least expect them, like my girlfriend Denise used to do when I was 16. She once appeared in the balcony of a movie theater on a Friday night when I was with her cousin Susie and that did not go well for me.

Anyhow, people of all ages are roaming around staring at their phones, mindless zombies who are stuck in a virtual world that often collides with the real one. One teenager was so enamored with Pokémon Go that he got hit by a bus while playing. A man who was playing while waiting at a bus stop in southeast Austin was robbed at gunpoint the other day.

One trend is clear – buses are like dark alleys - extremely dangerous.

My advice is to forget the Poké Balls and watch your ass instead.

Closer To New Zip Codes If you live in Flanders, Northampton, or Riverside, get ready to commit some new numbers to memory.

Since entering Congress in 2015, Congressman Lee Zeldin has been trying to work with the US Postal Service to secure a new zip code for Flanders, Riverside, and Northampton.

In August 2015, Congressman Zeldin signed and sent a letter to the Postmaster officially requesting that the hamlets of Flanders, Riverside, and Northampton be assigned a new zip code in order to make them distinguishable from Riverhead Town.

The Post Office, which denied the initial request that Congressman Zeldin then appealed, has since been unresponsive.

Last week he announced that a bipartisan bill that mandates the assignation of a new, unique zip code for the hamlets passed out of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Within the Postal Service Reform Act of 2016, Congressman Zeldin secured his proposal in Section 211 of the bill, that states that upon this legislation being signed into law, the Flanders, Northampton, and Riverside communities in the Town of Southampton, New York, will receive a single, unique zip code no later than September 30, 2017.

Currently, these three hamlets each share the same zip code, 11901, with the nearby Town of Riverhead, causing a number of issues in the

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

local community.

Congressman Zeldin said, “According to research initiated by the concerned residents of these hamlets, there are currently 18 identical street names and 32 similar street names - and possibly more - that are shared between these Southampton hamlets and Riverhead Town. This causes a number of issues in the local community and makes things very confusing for postal carriers, which leads to mail and packages being delivered to the wrong address, and sometimes even being routed as far away as Flanders, New Jersey.

“Furthermore, sometimes these packages aren’t able to be delivered, with packages frequently being marked as ‘return to sender’ or ‘address unknown.’”

Congressman Zeldin continued, “For residents of these three

The overlapping zip codes of Flanders, Riverside, and Northampton with Riverhead has caused many issues, including delayed deliveries, which is not just a nuisance to the local community, but can also greatly impact quality of life, especially when the packages hold important goods like critical, life-altering medications.

“The shared street names and zip codes within the towns can also cause major problems for police, first responders, and other emergency personnel, who may arrive at the wrong address due to these shared street names with the same zip code. These kinds of mistakes and problems can all be avoided by assigning a new and unique zip code to Flanders, Riverside, and Northampton. Over the coming days and weeks, I will work with my colleagues in the House to ensure that this bill is passed before the end of the year.”

Black-eyed Susans are about to pop. If you have an abundance, then they can be moved to spots that need color. If you don’t have a bunch, wait a year or two.

Moving anything in this heat is dangerous, but soak the plant, wait for a cloudy or rainy day, prepare the new hole and soak it before digging up the Susan and water afterwards. My experience is that 24-36 hours later, they are up and good again.

Compiled by Kitty Merrill

Shipwrecks’ Secrets Exposed Captain Steve Nagiewicz has more than 20 years of experience in commercial diving and has written more than 75 articles about oceanography and diving for shipwrecks. He’ll discuss the hidden history of underwater shipwrecks tomorrow at 5 PM at the Reichert Family Center on the Main Road in Southold.

The gallery talk is given in connection to the Southold Historical Society’s current exhibition “Dead Man’s Cove - 10 Shipwrecks & One Lighthouse.” The exhibition presents the story of 10 vessels that encountered trouble in the Long Island Sound and the history of the Horton Point Lighthouse.

Participants are invited to enjoy some of Capt. Nagiewicz adventures and experience the Dead Man’s Cove exhibit. The Historical Society will host a reception after the talk.

It takes place tomorrow at 5 PM. The exhibition is open Saturdays from 1 to 4PM or by appointment through Saturday.

Extra Protection For ELIH Eastern Long Island Hospital will soon have the extra protection needed to keep rising waters at bay thanks to a generous donation from a grateful patient.

“With the hurricane season quickly approaching, the timing couldn’t be better to commence this project,” states Ray Eble, Vice President of Support Services.

“As recently as Superstorm Sandy, ELIH experienced major flooding due to a full moon bringing high tides that amplified the storm’s surge. Water was being pumped out of the hospital’s lower level as fast it was coming in.”

At that time, ELIH dodged a near complete electrical outage that could have resulted in permanent damage to critical infrastructure.

After consulting with engineers, a plan was drawn up that consists of several failsafe components.

The construction of a reinforced cement curb/sea wall around the hospital’s perimeter and the installation of a water extraction system will provide the safety net needed during extreme weather conditions.

The plan also calls for the housing of a redundant emergency generator.

“Knowing we had a viable solution was the first step, but the missing link was funding,” states Paul J.

Connor, President/CEO. “And then the Harolds appeared.”

While Erica Harold, a Cutchogue resident, was receiving orthopedic surgery for a wrist fracture in the Ambulatory Surgery Center, her husband Peter made a point of visiting the hospital’s administration office.

“As a result of the fine care Erica received, we both felt compelled to express our gratitude,” says Peter Harold. “When we asked what we could do to help, Paul Connor explained the need for a storm hardContinued On Page 29.

Scams Target Seniors Telephone scams typically spike during the summer. Common scams include the grandchildren scam, the lottery scam, the IRS scam, the jury duty scam and the utility scam.

The grandchildren scam begins with an urgent call informing the senior of an emergency, with funds needed quickly. In the lottery scam, a victim is asked to wire money to cover the taxes on a big win.

The IRS scam involves a caller claiming the victim owes a past due balance – this one can also come from an automated “voice” threatening arrest if the balance isn’t immediately paid.

With the jury duty scam, the caller tells the victim a warrant for failing to report for jury duty is pending and a fine is due. Utility scammers pose as representatives from a utility provider. They claim service is about to be terminated if an unpaid balance isn’t paid immediately over the phone.

Key and common among the scammers is a request that fines or balances be paid using Western Union MoneyGram.

Since scammers frequently target seniors, on Friday Attorney

General Eric T. Schneiderman’s Office, Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming and East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell will meet with local residents at 11:30 AM at the East Hampton Senior Center, located at 128 Springs Fireplace Road in East Hampton to discuss scams and how seniors can protect themselves.

“The last thing families need is to be scammed out of their hardearned money,” said Attorney General Schneiderman. “It is shameful that scam artists target people with bogus threats and scare tactics, but following a few basic tips can help you fight back and stay safe.”

“I would like to thank Attorney General Schneiderman’s Office for providing this informative and important seminar to the residents in our community, and particularly our seniors” stated Legislator Fleming. “My office will continue to look for ways to inform the public of current phone and computer scams so they can have the tools to avoid becoming victims of these fraudulent tactics.”

“The better we understand the techniques used by scammers in

Drought Watch In Effect

Last Friday New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos issued a drought watch for the entire state of New York following consultation with the State Drought Management Task Force and federal partner agencies. “ While most public water supplies are still generally normal throughout the state, below normal precipitation over the last 9 months, low stream flows, and reduced groundwater levels have prompted the need for this action,” Commissioner Seggos said.

“We are encouraging residents throughout the state to conserve water whenever possible during the coming months.”

A watch is the first of four levels of state drought advisories (“watch,” “warning,” “emergency” and “disaster”). There are no statewide mandatory water use restrictions in place under a drought watch. However, local public water suppliers may require such measures depending upon local needs and conditions. The last drought watch in New York State

was issued in 2002.

The drought watch is triggered by the State Drought Index, which reflects precipitation levels, reservoir/lake levels, and stream flow and groundwater levels in nine designated drought regions throughout New York. Each of these indicators is assigned a weighted value based on its significance to various uses in a region.

Observed precipitation has been less than normal with shortfalls of four to eight inches common over the last 90 days. The dry weather dates back to the October 1st start of the “water year” and is beginning to significantly affect other water metrics. Stream flows and groundwater levels are well below normal throughout much of the state. Groundwater levels were seasonally worse in June compared to May and they are not expected to improve in the immediate future due to the existing precipitation deficit.

The DEC offers conservation tips that homeowners can take to voluntarily reduce their water usage: • Fix dripping and leaking faucets

and toilets. A faucet leaking 30 drops per minute wastes 54 gallons a month.

• Raise your lawn mower cutting height. Longer grass needs less water.

• When using automatic lawn watering systems, override the system in wet weather or use a rain gauge to control when and how much water to use. A fixed watering schedule wastes water. Irrigate only when needed.

• Water lawns and gardens on alternate mornings instead of every day. Less frequent watering will develop grass with deeper roots, and early morning watering minimizes evaporation.

• Sweep sidewalks and steps r a t h e r t h a n h o s i n g t h e m .

Eliminating a weekly five-minute pavement hose-down could save between 625 and 2500 gallons of water per year depending on the flow rate.

“Conserving water is important all year long, but particularly during extended dry periods,” Commissioner Seggos said. “By voluntarily reducing water usage,

and being extra careful with fire and outdoor flames, New Yorkers can help conserve our natural resources during these dry days of summer.”

“I was glad that the hospital was so close and that Dr. Carter was there to take care of my injury,” added Erica.

The Harolds’ donation came from two family foundations, the David J. and Bobbie Marks Family Fund and the CLC Kramer Foundation, Inc. This lifesaving gift gives ELIH an even greater edge when faced with emergency preparedness challenges. Patients were evacuated as a precaution during Superstorm Sandy, the only time in the hospital’s recorded history that such an evacuation was conducted.

“We have many drills and are always prepared. Sheltering in place is the best case scenario for patient care and comfort,” states Connor. “Thanks to the Harolds’ gift, the hospital is safeguarded even further.”

EdCamp: The Unconference In Riverhead During summer vacation, many kids go to camp and so do some adults. Several teachers and administrators from the Riverhead Central School District, and close to 200 participants from around the island and tri-state area converged on Riverhead High School to attend EdCamp.

EdCamp is an “unconference” whereby educators come together to share, learn and explore every aspect of education. There is no agenda, and participants come forward to lead sessions on anything of interest.

Participants were comprised of every position within the education profession - from superintendents to pre-service teachers still in school. With 35 sites around the

world convening simultaneously, the Riverhead camp meeting was the largest EdCamp in New York State, and one of the most populated EdCamps in the country.

Participants from over 50 school districts came together at Riverhead High School on July 11 to discuss new topics in the school system.

Topics included Using Google applications in the classroom, discussing important educational issues by taking a side and defending it, and using NBA games in the classroom to teach math.

Tom Whitby, a veteran of 50 sessions of EdCamp, efficiently summarized EdCamp as an event which proved andragogy rather than pedagogy is the best method of engaging adults in the learning

process. “Adults learn through collaboration and the best form of collaboration for adults is conversation,” shared Mr. Whitby.

RCSD Director of Professional

Development Michael Hugelmeyer concluded, “EdCamp is a great vehicle to aid in the educational process and I am proud that we at Riverhead were a part of it.”

Insight

Editorial

This week, those cool folks at WalletHub released a survey of the most and least stressed cities in America, and New York came in at a surprising 63 out of 100.

We’re thinking they must have done the survey during the summer when Manhattan apparently empties out and everyone comes here.

Analysts used data such as number of hours worked, debt load, plus divorce and suicide rates to develop their findings, and quoted the American Psychological Association’s report that stress is generally trending downward in the U.S. They can’t have included “reliable cell and internet service” in their metrics. Who among us doesn’t start to see a little red and a little blood pressure spike when that godforsaken pinwheel o’ doom starts to spinning on the phone or desktop?

On the East End, we’re approaching the height of the season and for many, the height of annual stress. The heat, the traffic, the pushy tourists and cranky workforce, and, yes, that spinning wheel all begin to reach critical mass as the dog days arrive.

What to do?

Stop by the beach. Eat some fresh local produce and seafood. Breathe. Look at the stars. Remember why we love it here.

And get a landline.

What are your summer vacation plans?

Julia I’m spending time in the Hamptons and then Arizona. After that I’m going to camp in New York. I love going to Arizona every year for 10 days in August to spend time with my cousins.

In Arizona it’s so hot that the pool is always warm even though you don’t heat it.

Alexander Two tennis camps, maybe horseback riding and film camp for a week at Guild Hall. I went last year too. We made a film and I played a villain. It was on TV. We got to shoot the film and edit it and we had a professional cameraman and someone who did the special effects.

Zara I’m going to British International School, which is a camp. We take classes but we also do fun stuff like swimming and other activities. Oh! and my birthday is in August and I’ll be going to Trinidad for my birthday.

Veronica I’m going to go to Nantucket and North Carolina and then I’m going to go to camp in Pelham, which is in New York. I’m also going to be visiting my friend there. She just moved there and I miss her. So it will be nice to spend time with her.

Down The Stretch They Come

By Rick Murphy

By this time next week the regular season will be over and the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League will be bracing for the playoffs.

The Westhampton Aviators, with a 22-11-1 mark, is in: the question is where they will finish and what team will finish first. Montauk currently sits in second with a 1913 mark but the Mustangs play a doubleheader with the Aviators tomorrow and could crawl within one game of the lead with a sweep.

Don’t count out the North Fork, either: the Ospreys are 19-14 after winning six of their last 10 games.

Riverhead (17-15-1) and Sag

Harbor (15-18-1) are contending for the fourth playoff spot.

Thursday night The Whalers won a critical game to keep their hopes alive; it was an emotional night as well.

Nick Kruel, who attends the University of Tampa, is a local boy true and true. He starred for the Pierson baseball team and returned to play for the Whalers of the HCBL. But in between he had openheart surgery -- last winter to be exact. Judging by Thursday’s performance the surgery was a complete success.

Kruel went eight innings against the Ospreys without allowing a single run and yielded just five

hits as the Whalers toughed out a 2-0 win.

The knuckleballer, who made the HCBL South All-Star team earlier this week, is now 3-0 on the season.

Kruel got all the offense he needed from Griffin Dey when he laced a two-run single in the fifth.

Dey added a triple and went 2-for-4 in the game.

Chris Sheehan pitched a scoreless ninth inning for the save and Bobby Romano went 3-for-4 for the Ospreys and Richard Palacios stole his league leading 21st base of the season.

Hart Promoted After a sensational first half at Double-A Bowie that included Eastern League All-Star appearance, lefthander Donnie Hart (Westhampton ‘10) received the call he had always been waiting for – the call to The Show.

Hart was 2-0 with a 2.31 for the season. He joined the Baltimore

Nick Kruel is back home in Sag Harbor and helping the Whalers make a playoff push.

Orioles bullpen Friday. Baltimore entered the second half of the season with a two-game lead over second-place Boston and Toronto.

Hart didn’t take long to make an impact; called into service Sunday he pitched 2/3 of an inning, gave up one hit, struck out one, and did not allow a hit.

The Orioles play at Yankee Stadium tonight.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Hart becomes the sixth Hamptons League alum to reach the big leagues.

FANTASY SP

Thinking Outside The Box Three years ago I noticed a surprising trend at the National Fantasy Football Championships. A lot of the big hitters – guys who take down six figure tournaments - were making very odd selections early in their drafts.

Previously, it was written in stone: get a running back in the first round, and perhaps grab another one in the second.

The reason, on paper, was simple enough: there were (and are) only a dozen or so running backs who play every down and who gain yardage running and also catching the ball.

If you didn’t get one, you’d end up with a hole in your lineup all season.

But these experts had a new plan: they were gobbling up receivers: Calvin Johnson, the first pick! A.J. Green! Dez Bryant! Even, gasp (!) a tight end, Jimmy Graham!

Consider in 2013 the first nine names on the ADP (Average Draft Position) were running backs. Calvin was picked 10th. There were three receivers among the top 21 picks.

Always follow the money. The guys that broke with the trend and charted a new course were the guys that took down the big tournaments that year.

It’s because they correctly realized that because the NFL had instituted new rules protecting wide receivers from getting their heads handed to them there would be an uptick in passes attempted. In other words, more wide receivers would catch more passes than ever before.

Of course, by 2015 all of us had figured out the same thing, and we grabbed wide receivers early and often: three of the top nine, six of the top 15, and nine of the top 20 were receivers.

So, as the 2016 season beckons, what are the wise guys going to do?

We already have enough data to have an ADP list, though it is ever revolving. Assuming we are talking about a PPR (Points Per Reception) league the early drafters are not only continuing the trend of taking receivers earlier, but they are doing so even more aggressively.

The top name on the list is a receiver, Antonio Brown. Three of the top four, five of eight, and seven of the first 11 are receivers. Fourteen of the top 22 are wide receivers.

So the safe thing to do is to pick a wide receiver with your first pick, right? But who wants to be safe? The

steady, by the book, polite young man with good grades never gets to take the pretty girl home after the dance – the reckless, swaggering rebel does. That’s who you want to be.

We agree Brown is a number one overall because of his extraordinary gift of piling up

www.indyeastend.com

receptions (PPRs) and yardage.

After that though, we say think r unning ba c ks : LeVeo n Bell, Todd Gurley, maybe even Ezekiel Elliot, the Dallas rookie, if he is looking good in the preseason.

We like a couple wide receivers at that point: Julio Jones and Odell Beckham Jr. Then we suggest hitting the next tier of running backs: DeVonta Freeman, Adrian Peterson, Jamal Charles, maybe even Thomas Rawls of Seattle if he is healthy.

Then you can go back to the receivers and rest assured, there are dozens of good ones available.

Here’s why: as teams pass

more, more and more players get involved. Defenses are evolving, often targeting an opponent’s top receiver with a shutdown defender.

That means another guy on that team will see a lot more passes come his way.

You can get players like Brandon Marshall, Mike Evans, Sammy Watkins and even Demar yius Thomas late in the third or even in the fourth round: all these guys have 2016 ADPs in the 30s.

If your pick comes up and one of the elite running backs is there grab him.

You might end up with the pretty girl at the end of the night.

His plan was to use the third dummy trump in case hearts broke 4-1, which they did. Declarer played the ace, queen, and king of hearts and then led a 4th heart which he trumped in dummy. Then he returned to his hand with a club and drew the last trump. His 5th heart was a winner and he lost only one trick, the ten of diamonds. A well-deserved two overtricks yielded a top score on the hand.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

Set And Drift: Do The Math! Part 2

Last week, we started the twopart series on Set and Drift. We noted that there is a precise way to calculate the correct amount of “leaning in” to do in that column.

Despite the math part of it setting some hearts racing, it is easy.

Set And Drift Take a quick look at the diagram.

Recall the setting. Your pal said, “make your point of sail 200o magnetic and put the hammer down for 60 nautical miles… plug 39o 40’ 29” N and 071o 14’ 36” W into your GPS and fish all night.”

Armed with the knowledge about set and drift from last week, you decide to do the math. What math needs doing? The Four Corners.

The four corners of the solution of what Course To Steer (CTS) to actually ensure that your compensation for the set and drift of the current are the following: [1] the desired course (200o above)

[2] speed of your boat (let’s say 20 knots) [3] the set (direction) of the current [4] the drift (speed) of the current What? How do you figure the last two when that is what you are looking for?

Sometimes, the answer is like a puzzle – if ‘x’ is true, what else has to be true to make that so?

If you’ve ever read an “Eldridge,” you know that sets and drift tables are actually available in hardcopy for certain locations. But you can do it yourself.

Here’s how.

The scenario we set up above is that you’ve left Moriches Inlet on a heading of 200o magnetic at 20 knots. The rhumb line from Moriches Inlet to the specified location (39o 40’ 29” N x 071o 14’ 36” W) is just a straight line from the Inlet (“a”, in the diagram) to the Hudson Canyon.

After two hours, you expect to

www.indyeastend.com

be at “b” – but you’re not there.

You determine that, per your GPS or other navigation technology/ technique, you are at “c!”

Clearly, the angle of the line from “b” to “c” is the set (direction) of the current. From the prior article, that’s the guy pushing you away from the coffee shop.

Let’s call that 135o magnetic per the diagram. But how hard is “he” pushing you?

Measure the distance from “b” to “c” (in nautical miles since we are measuring speed in knots) and divide it by the number of hours that we took our measurement over (two, in this example.)

If the distance from “b” to “c” is 5nm, and the time in the example is two hours, the answer is 2.5, i.e., the drift (speed of the current) is 2.5 knots. That’s how hard the guy is pushing you away the coffee shop!

We now have all four numbers [1] the desired course - 200o above (a given) [2] speed of your boat - 20 knots (a given) [3] the set (direction) of the current – 135o mag (derived) [4] the drift (speed) of the current – 2.5 knots (derived) In other words, if it is true that we are at “c” when we thought we are running the rhumb line at 200o mag at 20 knots, then it has to be true that the set is 135o mag and the drift is 2.5 knots.

What else have we learned?

The distance from “a” to “c” is our actual Course Over the Ground (COG) and, if you divide that by two

July 20, 2016

hours (per our example), you get the actual Speed Over the Ground (SOG).

That wasn’t so hard, was it? But now what? How hard do we lean in?

First, we determine what is the new rhumb line from “c” (where we actually are) to the Hudson Canyon at 39o 40’ 29” N x 071o 14’ 36” W. If there were no set and drift, that is the course to steer. But what course do you steer?

First, extend the “b” to “c” line so that it extends far enough to encompass another hour (called the One Hour Method) of set and drift.

This is marked as “d”.

At 20 knots of speed (a given), you measure off 20 nms from your latitude (NOT longitude) scale along the chart’s edge and swing your dividers so that it crosses the original rhumb line – marked as “e” in our example. Draw a line from “d” to “e” and that angle (~255o in the drawing) is your Course To Steer.

You’re your own GPS now!

Clearly, a GPS does this calculation continuously and with space-age accuracy. But what is it fails? And you aren’t on your way to the Canyons. You’re on your way home.

Would you want to bet your life on a couple of double-AA batteries?
