Hooked On Shark Week?

By Kitty Merrill

Get ready for a Jaw-some time.

The annually-anticipated Discovery Channel Shark Week is coming, and the Long Island Aquarium & Exhibition Center in Riverhead is reeling in a day of fintastic activities guaranteed to amuse and educate lovers of undersea behemoths.

On Saturday, August 9, the day before Shark Week’s premiere on the Discovery Channel, the aquarium will be transformed into a shark-themed oasis featuring a presentation, Q&A and autograph session with Shark Week on-air personality and shark expert Andy Casagrande, a sneak peek at Shark Week’s Great White Matrix, a kid’s area with face painting, a scavenger hunt and goody bags, coloring activity sheets, photo opportunities with Shark Week’s Chompie Jr, fin hat giveaways and more. Riverhead Town Supervisor Sean Walter will also join in the celebration.

Optimum and Discovery Communications are teaming up for the event and, in honor of Shark Week’s 27th anniversary, the first

27 Optimum rewards members to arrive and show their cards will receive free family admission.

Reward members who arrive after the first 27 can get 30 percent off aquarium admission if they show their cards.

According to discovery.com, Shark Week is television’s longest running must-see summer TV event. Last year saw 11 shark-filled specials, and this year, viewers are “going to need a bigger boat.” With the tagline, “Be careful what you fish for,” Shark Week promises 13 shows coupled with a new late night live talk show, “Shark after Dark.”

It will feature celebrity guests and shark experts celebrating all things Selachii, and provide opportunities for viewer participation.

But before the big fish bingeathon begins, shark lovers can “wet” their appetites, and themselves, at Long Island Aquarium & Exhibition Center, with an adventure of a lifetime, a shark dive. You want to see sharks? How about up close and personal?

Independent/Courtesy Optimum

The Shark Dive puts you noseto-nose with some of the ocean’s top predators in the big tank that comprises the aquarium’s Lost City of Atlantis Shark Exhibit. In the company of a trained shark dive instructor brave participants plunge to the depths in a shark cage to view the graceful creatures in real time and real close. No dive experience necessary, and all equipment is provided, plus souvenirs and a photograph of you under the “sea.”

Call 631-208-9200 ext. H2O to find out more.

Sound a little too exciting?

There’s plenty more for landlubbers to enjoy at the aquarium. This

upscale destination boasts one of the largest all-living coral reef displays in this hemisphere, year-round sea lion shows, numerous touch tanks, butterflies from all over the world, and more than 100 exhibits and interactive experiences. It was named a Top 10 Aquarium for Children by Parents Magazine.

Long Island Aquarium & Exhibition Center is open daily 10 AM to 5 PM year-round (Closed Christmas & Thanksgiving Days).

You can add to the fun with an overnight stay at the waterfront Hyatt Place East End & Resort Marina located adjacent to the aquarium property.

INSTAGRAM IS MELTING OUR CHILDREN’S BRAINS I was driving back from the Hamptons on Sunday night with my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, and our three kids, Jessie, JT and our puppy Shlomo (my youngest and hairiest child, who many believe is my favorite).

I was driving and Jessie and JT were talking.

“How many are you following?”

Jessie asked.

“567,” JT replied. He then added, “I am following 567 people and I have 362 following me.”

“Did you see this from Harry?

He’s in Los Angeles. That’s Venice Beach.”“Look at this one from Jamie.”

“I saw that. Did you see this one from Jimmy Simpson?”

“Look at this room . . . Look at this appetizer . . . What a beautiful sunset.”

Then Jessie said,“I’m on Instagram 20 . . . 30 . . . 40 times a day.”

Jessie and JT were talking about the new cell phone rage called Instagram, where millions of young people share pictures. Not great pictures, not award-winning pictures, not pictures that are memorable, but pictures of their everyday lives and a minute-to-

minute record of what they ate, where they went and what they did.

I’m talking about snapshots that my generation tried to avoid whenever someone thought we would love to see their vacation pictures.

These are just pictures taken with an iPhone. Words don’t count any more. This is a generation that only wants to look at pictures.

What are the pictures of?

Everything they do in their every waking moment.

To begin with, no one under the age of 30 sits down to a meal without pulling out their iPhone and taking a picture of the appetizer, the salad, the entrée and the dessert and sending it out for friends and strangers to see.

So food gets cold and it’s sent back. Pasta gets gummy because before food is eaten it must be photographed and 3 or 400 or 5,000 people will see it on their iPhones before the first bite is taken.

As you’re reading this, thousand of pictures of that new designer vegetable kale (which everyone says they love but no one really likes) are being taken. Chopped kale, steamed kale, fried kale, dried kale, minced kale, kale chips, kale burgers, kale

a la mode, kale ice cream, etc. etc.

Then there are the dog pictures.

No dog can close its eyes for a nap without it being recorded for posterity by some idiot.

So while you’re reading this, at least a million pictures of sleeping dogs are traveling to and from iPhones so millions of young people can say, “Oooooohhhhhh!

Howwwwww cute!”

I was appalled that my daughter, age 28, and my son, age 25 – both very intelligent and genuinely nice people – were babbling about how much of their lives is devoted to looking at inane pictures on their iPhones.

After listening to them rave for three or four exits on the Long Island Expressway about the important role Instagram has in their lives, I decided to genetically trace how my children have turned out this way. So I called out to Judy, who was sitting in the back seat with Shlomo in her lap.

“Judy, think back – were there any imbeciles in your family?”

Everyone in the car giggled.

“No Jerry,” she answered. “My family was only crazy; your family might have had some morons.”

I’m an open person, so I drove the next few miles tracing my family history, looking for morons.

Then I found one. My grandmother on my mother’s side had a cousin named Sal who for some unfathomable reason was called “Sally White.” Once, Sally White, who was a bit of a dufus, had a memorable adventure that was repeated with great glee around the dinner table every Christmas Eve. It seems Sally White had three live chickens in a paper bag. He was supposed to bring them home for his family’s Christmas Day meal.

The bag broke and the chickens got away from him on the Sea Beach (now the N) subway train.

As the story goes, all the other passengers on the train scattered, and Sally White caught two of the chickens, but one of them flew off on the Kings Highway station stop and was never heard from again.

Could some of Sally White’s cloudy genes have drifted into my DNA, mixed with Judy’s DNA from

IN THE NEWS

her grandmother Jenny Licht’s “crazy” gene, and this was what was now causing my children, who are normal and wonderful in every other way, to stare for 16 hours a day at pictures of kale and sleeping dogs on Instagram?

Instagram is just one of the reasons iPhones and other cell phones scare me.

They have taken over our lives.

Walk into an elevator and every person is staring at their iPhone like a zombie.

It’s like the Night of the Living Dead.

And yes, I’m as bad as the next person.

What am I looking for?

Can I go even the two minutes an elevator ride takes without checking lurid, email come-ons from young Russian women who can’t wait to get their hands on my ancient, fat body?

Must I really immediately read the message from those nice folks at the Christian Singles website who are determined to find “the right Christian for you”?

Walk on any street in the Hamptons or in the middle of Manhattan – everyone is carrying a phone in their hands. Mothers would rather hold their cell phone than hold the tiny hand of their three-year-old child while crossing a street.

Then there are the idiots who cross the street against the light with a cell phone on their ear.

They would rather die than not immediately hear some inane message.

There is a great last line in former major league pitcher Jim Bouton’s book Ball Four: “You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time. The ball is gripping you.”

Can we not apply that to our cell phones?

We all think we own our cell phones, but in the end, our cell phones own us.

Storm Readiness A Springboard

By Kitty Merrill

Hurricane season has begun, and with it comes the yearly array of educational advisories, reminding those in storm-prone regions how to prepare. Activists from the Save East Hampton group have used the storm focus to continue their push for underground power lines.

Save East Hampton formed not long after PSEG began installing new, huge, utility poles as part of a system upgrade last winter.

Opponents have pushed for the burial of new lines, and, according to their most recent press release, believe East Hampton is “uniquely qualified” for federal funding for the project. PSEG officials have expressed a willingness to redo the project and remove the new poles and transmission lines, but only if East Hampton ratepayers cover the entire cost.

According to the Save East Hampton update, Long Island was awarded a $1.4 billion FEMA grant designed to ensure safety in the

event of a storm. Although East Hampton qualifies as “the town with the highest risks in New York State during hurricanes,” Governor Andrew Cuomo and Senator Charles Schumer have “have either ignored or dismissed in East Hampton’s critical need” for funds from the grant.

A second FEMA package of $730 million is specifically earmarked for future mitigation of hurricane damage on Long Island. But it’s not being made available to East Hampton for transmission line burial.

A variety of local features make East Hampton Town particularly vulnerable when a hurricane hits – large tidal waters on three sides and a two-lane evacuation route among them. The SEH update reminds East Hampton was without power for 10 days after Hurricane Sandy, meaning, in many cases, people had no electricity and no water.

The East Hampton community has “legitimate and unique safety concerns” that could be mitigated

by burying transmission lines, the update states.

PSEG officials, however, will only consider taking out the new poles and lines they just installed and undertaking a new program to bury the lines if East Hampton ratepayers cover the entire cost of both phases.

Repeatedly, supporters have pointed to a Southampton Town project, undertaken several years ago, where LIPA paid half the cost of burying lines. PSEG spokesman Jeffrey Weir called the comparison “inaccurate.” In that situation a state environmental review called for the burial of lines for a portion of the project and neighbors agreed to pay a special fee to cover line burial in a second portion.

The review for the East Hampton project didn’t recommend burial, and the neighbors’ request was

addressed before the project began.

In East Hampton, the clarion call for line burial rang out after the project was already underway.

And what of future projects?

If East Hampton residents were caught unaware by the project, could the same thing happen again?

The New York State Department of Public Service and PSEG have begun holding public hearings on the utility’s Long Range Plan. Last week Assemblyman Fred Thiele, along with East Hampton Village Mayor Paul Rickenbach and Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell called for more local hearings.

Weir said PSEG is “actively working” with state officials to schedule more hearings. People can also view the plan and submit comments online by visiting the dps.ny.gov /longisland page.

Proposed PSEG Substation Draws Opposition

By Rick Murphy

A proposal by PSEG to build a substation in a residential neighborhood in Shelter Island had drawn widespread opposition from neighborhood residents.

The giant electric company has had a rough year hereabouts; a group of East Hampton residents sued the utility over the installation of what they say are overlarge and unneeded new utility poles; the Town of East Hampton is suing PSEG because it expanded a substation in Amagansett without the approval of the town.

Shelter Island’s population is growing, and the feeling is more electric power will be needed shortly.

A project by PSEG’s predecessor LIPA/National Grid to run a cable from Southold ended unsuccessfully when a drill head broke off and became lodged in the line.

Former Town Supervisor Hoot Sherman is among those opposed to the proposed site on Route 114.

“I won’t see it and I won’t hear it, but they have better options,” he said. “It’s wrong to build it. This is a residential neighborhood.”

To w n S u p e r v i s o r J a m e s Dougherty noted the town’s old highway barn sits on the one-acre site. But Sherman said a PSEG substation is a different animal altogether, posing the risk of a fire in addition to other potential hazards.

After a spirited town hall meeting last week Dougherty, who once voiced his support for the Route 114 location, backed off. Now, he said, all options are under consideration.

“A revival of the cable is very

much on the table,” the supervisor said. Also under consideration is a site near the town dump. “We feel an obligation to entertain all options,” Dougherty said.

Jeffery Weir, a spokesman for PSEG, said the company believes it needs to upgrade on Shelter Island.

“We continue to work with the supervisor and town board to find the most cost effective and reliable way.”

The town owns the Route 114 site, as well as the dump site. It is unclear how or if PSEG would acquire the property. ”We don’t know that would work. We haven’t delved into it that deeply.” Sherman said he had “no idea” how the land would be transferred to PSEG. Weir said the existing line that traverses the island would have to be close enough to a new substation to splice into it. The Route 114 site

is; he is not sure of the dump site.

Dougherty said the dump is near a residential neighborhood, too.

“Anyplace they put it is going to be close to a residential area,” he said.

Reviving the underwater cable seems to be the favored option on Shelter Island, but not across the bay. “Those poor guys in Southold took a beating. They were working right in their backyards,” Sherman pointed out.

“Hi, I’m Chuck.

I’ll be catching your dinner tonight.”

Bringing Down The House

By Emily Toy

Legally, that is.

Southampton Town’s Code Enforcement Division’s been cracking down on illegally-operating properties this summer.

In recent weeks, the code enforcement division served a slew of summonses and notices of violation to property owners of illegal summer party houses throughout Southampton Town, according to a press release from town hall on Monday morning.

More often than not, the summer

brings an increase in dozens of people residing illegally in single family, residential properties resulting in over occupancy, noise complaints and other public safety issues.

Since June 1, the efforts of code enforcement and the town attorney’s office resulted in over $94,000 in fines levied against said property owners.

“As part of our stepped-up efforts, our code officers have put owners of these group rentals on notice: We welcome your business but we insist

that you operate in accordance with town code,” said Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst. “Town code officers and our attorneys are doing an excellent job.”

Town code officers collected evidence supporting the issuance of three temporary restraining orders in the state Supreme Court, with the most recent TRO issued on July 23 for a property located at 28 Club Lane in Remsenburg. According to the town attorney, there was evidence of an intoxicated male injuring himself after attempting to

jump into a pool from the second story balcony. It was also reported to have underage occupants at the site, over occupancy, an unauthorized change of use, and numerous noise complaints. Additionally, the property owner was found to be using an advertising service on the Internet offering rental opportunities in violation of the local rental law.

The TRO requires the property owner to come into immediate compliance with town rental law or face criminal charges. It was also court ordered that the Remsenburg property be posted, alerting all future occupants that the restraining order is in effect.

“In each of these cases, in addition to the numerous code violations, our officers have identified significant health and safety issues,” said Councilwoman Christine Scalera. “We continue to work closely with the officers and staff to improve the effectiveness of our code enforcement and department and to address safety and quality of life concerns. These enforcement actions are the result of that continuing work.”

LET THE ‘ORGY’ BEGIN! “In a few weeks we’ll be treated to an orgy of self-congratulation put out annually by the East Hampton Town Conservators. They will flood all the local papers with full-page ads touting their dedication to the well-being of all the citizens of East Hampton.” EH Star Letters|6/5/2014 - Reg Cornelia

Guess what? We DO intend to congratulate people in this ad.

Starting with...

Congratulations to

THE VOTERS of EAST HAMPTON for electing THE NEW TOWN BOARD who have shown us that governing can be civil, productive, inclusive and ecologically (and legally) responsible.

A few highlights of what they’ve accomplished in just six months: Protected our property values and quality of life by enforcing our zoning laws, putting scofflaw nightclubs and suburban developers on notice that we cherish East Hampton’s semirural character Proposed legislation to limit the monotony of chain stores, preserving our unique landscape that is the basis of our local economy, drawing tourists and second-home owners from all over the world

Honored the contract with taxpayers by investing Community Preservation Funds,

saving a scenic property in Amagansett that threatened to become a zone-busting condo development (“555”)

Built civil consensus about the future of the East Hampton Airport, paving the path toward eliminating future FAA funding through a self-sustaining airport

Focused on quality of life issues in Springs, drafting new legislation and responding to taxpayers’ concerns about the overuse of small properties Participated in solutions for renewable energy and community resilience, reclaiming the town’s national reputation for leadership in environmental progress Valued such laws as Dark Skies, worked on reducing out-of-control drinking on our beaches, pushed back against the PSEG light poles that are scarring our neighborhoods—and more

Let’s have a wonderful summer enjoying the spectacular natural environment of the East End, while working to make sure our children will be able to share it with their children.

Thank you, East Hampton Town Board!

Break Ground For Hospice Facility Last week Roger Ferris + Partners unveiled the design of the East End Hospice, a new inpatient facility in Quiogue. Located at One Meeting House Lane and overlooking the Aspatuck River, the hospice is situated in a peaceful and unique setting which will enable the organization to better serve its patients.

The free-standing facility will enhance and broaden the scope of East End Hospice’s existing services, offering a homelike setting for patients to spend their last days.

Once completed, the highly anticipated new facility will allow hospice professionals and trained volunteers to provide 24-hour acute care, as well as social, emotional and spiritual support for patients and their families.

Eight private rooms will be equipped to manage the complex needs of the critically ill while providing comfortable accommodations for patients and family. It includes a spa room with a soaking tub, a consultation room for intimate gatherings, and common areas, including a sunroom, library, and gardens.

The groundbreaking architecture of the hospice is inspired by and a response to the natural preserved grounds and adjacent river setting. Roger Ferris + Partners designed a series of low, onestoried gabled forms, residential in scale, joined by skylit hallways and common areas, creating a community setting surrounded by nature and oriented toward the Aspatuck River. Set on six acres of conservation land, the landscape design by Arayis Design showcases the natural beauty of the terrain.

The approximately $8 million project is 97 percent funded through individual gifts and pledges, and is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2015.

“This new building takes its responsibility very seriously and it attempts to update the template of hospice residence design through the use of light, space, openness, intimacy, views and connectedness to nature. It is an architecture designed to look after its patients, families, and care givers and to inspire and soothe the spirits of all who come through the doors,” said architect Roger Ferris.

“This is a long awaited day for us and our patients and their families,” said Priscilla Ruffin, East End Hospice CEO. “This will not be just a building but a symbol of a caring philosophy. It will be a peaceful place where people will spend their final days comfortable and with dignity.”

The facility will be named by the lead benefactors of Building the Dream Capital Campaign, who are also longtime supporters and

friends of East End Hospice, John Adam Kanas, Chairman, President and CEO of BankUnited and his wife, Elaine M. Kanas, Chairman of the Board, Raynor Country Day School and Vice Chairman of the Board of The Stony Brook School.

“The entire Kanas family is honored to be part of the East End Hospice expansion plan. It is a privilege to do our part alongside the many volunteers and families that have supported the efforts of EEH for so many years,” said John Adam Kanas.

For over 20 years, East End Hospice has provided care and comfort for terminally ill patients, their families, and their loved ones where the patient resides, whether it is their own home, apartment, senior living facility or other place of residence in communities on the East End of Long Island. Last year East End Hospice health care professionals and volunteers offered 548 East End patients pain and symptom control as well as social, emotional, and spiritual support to patients in the comfort of their own homes.

Suggest ‘Truck People’ Input

By Kitty Merrill

What if the people whose livelihoods are imperiled had a say? What if they came up with the size and type of truck that’s just too much for residential zones?

After Monday night’s discussion of the town’s proposed “truck law,” Springs Citizens Advisory Committee chair Loring Bolger suggested those who have the trucks be challenged with coming up with suggested restrictions.

For the last several years, the “no truck people,” as they’ve been called, have complained about the volume and size of commercial trucks some Springs inhabitants have parked, and kept, on residential lots. They complain of the noise, the visual blight, and express the suspicion that illegal commercial activities are underway on properties not zoned for it. It wasn’t until earlier this month, when the town board hosted a public hearing on a measure prompted by the complaints that the “truck people” weighed in.

The discussion continued during Monday night’s SCAC meeting.

Springs resident and community activist Zach Cohen offered a presentation Bolger said seems “a reasonable compromise.” Cohen’s suggestion involves categorizing trucks and issuing town permits contingent on proper screening for some sized trucks. Smaller ones might be exempt and huge vehicles prohibited.

The “no truck people” objected to Cohen’s idea – there would still be noise in the mornings and evening when the homeowner went to work and returned. Strenuous objection to noise in general was evident as one audience member complained of kids skateboarding near her home during the evenings. The opinion prompted an exasperated exclamation from another audience member.

“There’s definitely a culture clash,” Bolger observed.

Still, the chair woman said, “People on both sides said we’ve got to reach a compromise and work with the truck people to come up with something reasonable . . . At the end of the meeting, it seemed like people were listening to each other a little bit. The no truck people were quiet and the truck people got to speak.”

Councilman Fred Overton, a Springs resident, is the liaison to the SCAC. He said he was not prepared to support the legislation

in its current form. A letter to the editor from a community member on the topic is published in this issue.

The committee also discussed proposed regulations governing formula, or chain, stores, which have been the subject of two public hearings. Overton said he isn’t ready to vote for that proposal, either.

Too much? Not enough? Just right? The East Hampton Town Board is grappling with whether trucks like the one above should be allowed to park on residential properties.

quarters of growth, took a step back in the second quarter of 2014.

The average sales price of a property in The Hamptons, $1.54 million, represented an almost 10 percent decline from the same period a year earlier. It was also 9.3 percent lower than the first quarter of 2013.

A report prepared by Jonathan Miller Appraisers and Consultants for Elliman noted, “Housing prices remained above year-ago levels” and “Both sales and inventory increased from last year, keeping the pace of

market stable.”

The Median Sale price in The Hamptons slipped 1.3 percent to $908,500 though the number of sales increased 3.7 percent to 700.

Listing inventory, a key indicator of market conditions in the immediate future, rose 4.7 percent to 1647. It is generally conceded that inventory drops during a vibrant market. However, that figure was contrasted by the fact Days on Market declined 3.8 percent to 176 days. New listings were selling at a brisker rate.

On the North Fork housing prices were above year-ago levels. Miller wrote, “Sales slipped as listing inventory jumped from year ago lows.” Also, the luxury market on the North Fork continued to spiral upwards: “Luxury housing prices outpaced [the] overall market,” according to the report.

Overall on Long Island, housing prices edged higher, but not as rapidly as the past several quarters and the number of sales fell below year-ago levels after eight consecutive quarters of increases.

Miller noted, “Listing inventory has been rising since reaching a 12-year low in 4Q 2013.”

North Sea Murder Mystery Solved?

Headline from 1993.

By Rick Murphy

In November, 1993 two locals, hunting in the woods off Noyac Road in North Sea, made a grisly discover: The body of a woman who was obviously murdered.

Last week the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office announced they think they have the man who did it in custody.

This reporter covered the original story. The body was identified as Sandra Costilla, also known as Sandra Cutello. She had been living in the Ridgewood section of

Queens, and she was 28. The county homicide squad said it appeared she had been sexually assaulted.

The scuttlebutt was there were numerous stab wounds, though police did not confirm as much.

Detectives would not say on the record if they believed she had been murdered at or near the spot on Old Fish Cove Road where the body had been found, lying near a group of abandoned cottages. Off the record though, a police source said they believed the body was dumped there

after the murder occurred.

Earlier this month John Bittrolff, 48, of Manorville, was arrested for allegedly killing two women 20 years ago. The cicumstances surrounding those deaths were eerily similar to the North Sea slaying – the positioning of the body and the nature of the wounds were consistent with the other two.

Bittrolff is being held without bail on two counts of second-degree murder.

He is accused of murdering

Rita Tangredi-Beinlich, who was strangled. Her body was found in a wooded area in East Patchogue November 3, 1993, just a few weeks before the body was found in North Sea. Bittrolff is also accused of killing Colleen McNamee, 20, whose nude body was found in a wooded area in north Shirley on January 30, 1994. Both women were prostitutes.

Costilla was not, but Suffolk DA Tom Spota said, “She had a lifestyle that may have been substantially similar.”

• Net interest income increased from $4.5 million to $16.8 million

for June 2014, with a net interest margin of 3.36 percent.

• Total assets of $2.2 billion at June 2014, were 27 percent higher than June 2013.

• Loan growth of $300 million, a 33 percent increase from the previous year.

• Deposits of $1.75 billion, a 20 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2013.

“The record results this quarter reflect the positive aspects of the recently completed acquisition coupled with the continued momentum from our long term strategy to broaden the franchise,” commented Kevin M. O’Connor, President and CEO of Bridge Bancorp, Inc. “Our expanded footprint and

The success of these efforts and the seamless integration of the acquired FNBNY operations contributed to our record net interest income and core net income,” he added.

Stockholders’ equity grew $13.4 million to $172.9 million at June 2014, compared to $159.5 million at December 2013.

• Thiele reported Project MOST, the after school program based in East Hampton, has been awarded a $137,5000 state grant.

• Community Preservation Fund revenue is up 4.3 percent over the same time period in 2013 -- $45.76 million compared to $43.87 million for the region comprised of the five East End towns in Suffolk County.

Recently I received a phone call from Joe Giunta, head coordinator of the SoFo Bluebird nest box program.

Joe informed me that during routine nest box cleaning and maintenance at the East Hampton airport, where SoFo has around 60 boxes, he discovered a flying squirrel sleeping in one of the boxes.

The significance of this find is that historically flying squirrels have not been verifiably reported from the South Fork. In “The Mammals of Long Island, New York” by Paul F. Conner (Bulletin 416, NYS Museum & Science Service, July 1971), Conner states that on Long Island, “the flying squirrel apparently extends only as far east as Riverhead and Hampton Bays. It seems to be absent from woods on both the North and South Forks and on the neighboring islands, such as Shelter Island and Gardiners Island.”

In a personal communication

SoFo

with the late Roy Latham, considered by many to have been the dean of Long Island naturalists, Conner says that Latham had never encountered flying squirrels on the North Fork during his many years of fieldwork there. In addition, during Conner’s survey, many hours of evening observation and rodent trapping in the extensive oak woods of Hither Hills failed to indicate the presence of flying squirrels, although grey squirrels and chipmunks were common enough.

Over the last two or three years I have been hearing anecdotal reports of brief evening and night time sightings of flying squirrels on the South Fork. Joe’s find represents the first verified record for the area. So it seems flying squirrels have now extended their range into our neck of the woods.

Because flying squirrels are a nocturnal species many people are unaware of their presence, even

if they are frequenting their own yard and are sometimes visiting their bird feeders just as diurnal Gray Squirrels do. On Long Island it is the Southern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys volans) that can be found, the Northern Flying Squirrel is not present on the island.

In fact neither species can actually fly, the only true flying mammals are bats. Instead, flying squirrels glide. And superb gliders they are, able to reach distances of up to 250 feet jumping from one tree to another. That’s 25 times their body length, if a six foot man

were able to do that he could jump 150 feet. They accomplish this by spreading two furry membranes of skin that stretch from the wrists of their front limbs to the ankles of their back limbs, forming a kite-like apparatus that allows them to glide.

Very agile in the air, they can avoid tree limbs and make turns of up to ninety degrees by controlling the configuration of their skin flaps while using their flattened tail as a rudder. As the squirrel approaches the landing tree it raises its tail to change the course of its Continued On Page 40.

EDITORIAL Who Gets The Final Say? A recent decision by the Southampton Village Architectural Review Board aptly demonstrates the myriad problems that go along with preserving our past, be it in Southampton or anywhere on the East End. All five towns have historic districts, and that’s a good thing. But with the districts comes the danger of overregulation: homeowners are told what colors they can or can’t paint, what to plant, even what kinds of window trims are appropriate. The danger that Big Brother will intrude on our personal freedoms always lurks.

In the Southampton case residents of Meadow Lane, which is in a historic district, are up in arms over a modernistic house to be erected on the street.

Last month the ARB approved the design; now neighborhood residents are lobbying the ARB to reverse its decision and calling on the village board to get involved.

Fist of all, pressuring an appointed board to reverse fields is never a good idea; nor is it wise to ask elected officials to intervene.

Neighbors who are opposed to the new building contend the applicants implied

Independent VOICES

Hundreds Of Applicants Dear Mr. Murphy, In response to your editorial of 7/23/14 we, the Board of Commissioners of the East Hampton Housing Authority, wish to reassure you that the Authority is alive and well, and quietly going about the business of providing affordable housing for East Hampton Town residents who qualify.

The Authority owns and manages three properties for a total of 93 apartments.

We are 100 percent occupied with 204 Tenants at the moment, ranging from median income to well below what HUD deems extremely low income. About half of our residents are hardworking members of the East Hampton Town workforce lucky

enough to be in affordable, secure, yearround rental units. In addition there are 54 children, 27 seniors and 10 disabled adults living under our roofs.

We know more affordable rental units are needed in East Hampton because we have waitlists for all our properties. There are literally hundreds of applicants waiting for an opportunity to rent something within their budget, whether that’s $150 or $1500 per month.

Many call a few times a year or stop by our office hopeful for good news.

The Housing Authority supports the creation of a new project to increase the town’s inventory of affordable rental units and is here to assist the community in any way we can to achieve that end.

DAVID LEE, CHAIR, EAST HAMPTON HOUSING AUTHORITY Editor’s Note: Our point was your office has been usurped by the privately managed

they would be building a house suitable to the historic structures around it when they applied for and were granted a demolition permit to tear down the original structure on the property, which is being called “historic.” The neighbors are also calling the ARB decision “illegal.”

These are serious words being thrown about, and somehow we doubt the validity of using them here. That said, there is plenty of cause to wonder how a modernistic structure was approved for this historic neighborhood to begin with.

If the ARB were to reverse its decision it would set a dangerous precedent; others unhappy with the board’s ruling would rightfully be able to request another hearing.

To have the village board attempt to intervene would be foolhardy; first of all, it doesn’t have the authority. More to the point, the ARB is comprised of members appointed by village boards over the years – members are given staggered terms to avoid the stench of favoritism or politics.

Opponents should file an Article 78. By challenging the decision, the construction will at least temporarily be put on hold while a new, independent set of ears will hear both sides of the argument.

Windmill LLCs. You neglect to mention that with the exception of the 26 units built under your auspices in 2008 all of the other units were built at least 15 years ago.

No offense, but 93 affordable apartments in 20 years is nothing to brag about if there are indeed hundreds of applicants. More to the point is our concern the LLCs operate without adequate oversight from the town.

Call A Cab? Dear Editor, As a lifelong resident of this town, unlike the Johnny-Come-Lately’s (who consider themselves local after 10 or 20 years), I have seen major change in this town in my life.

I am one of the dwindling locals who chooses to live here despite the changes and the classless and rude people who invade this town every year. Quality of

life diminishes every year, whether it’s the taxes, permit fees, traffic, or illegals with more assistance from government and charities than a local can receive.

And now the town board is considering a ban of certain size work trucks on residential properties? For 49 years, our business has parked our trucks on our own residential properties. This is in order to respond to emergency calls, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year.

What should we tell our customers during their emergency? “We’re sorry, the best we can do is to see you tomorrow when I can readily access my truck as per the new law?” Ridiculous!

I not only use my box truck for emergency calls for my business, but also to respond to fires and emergencies for the Continued on Page 26.

Protecting Historic District To the Editor, The Village of Southampton’s Board of Historic Preservation and Architectural Review discussed for more than two hours the escalating dispute over protecting the Village’s historic beach district.

The dispute was triggered by the decision last month of the Village’s Board of Historic Preservation & Architectural Review (ARB) to approve a nonconforming building design at 40 Meadow Lane in the historic district in violation of the Southampton Code.

Defenders of the historic district requested that the Board of Trustees influence the ARB to reverse its original vote or to delay a final written decision (required for all historic district decisions) until the neighbors have had time to provide additional information.

The Trustees cannot order the ARB to reverse its vote but can express an opinion as to the community value of reopening public discussion, and the Building Department cannot issue a building permit until it receives the signed written approval of the application by the ARB. The ultimate challenge for the Board of Trustees, which appoints the ARB, is what to do if the ARB continues to defy the law, which the Board of Trustees created. During the meeting, Mayor Mark Epley said that he was “deeply troubled” by the ARB’s actions.

Interested residents should attend the next ARB meeting to show community support for the reopening of the ARB

Would you know what to do in a riptide?

Lily McGintee It actually happened to me once. But it wasn’t a really strong one. I was with friends and no one panicked so we all stayed calm. I’d try to swim with the current first.

If I couldn’t get myself out I would wave to the lifeguard and hope he could help me.

Haley Tracey I was a junior lifeguard. So what you do is you swim to the side. Swim with the current. That’s what I always told people at the beach. If you try to swim in to the beach you’ll just get pulled back out by the riptide and that could cause you to panic.

Julie Park First you swim sideways, parallel to the beach.

Don’t fight it. Usually at the end when the riptide dies down the water begins to pool. You can see the water swirling. That’s one of the ways you know the riptide has died and you can swim back towards the beach.

Yvette Sims I would swim sideways. Parallel with the tide.

You let it take you wherever it does and you don’t try to fight it or go against it. And you have to stay calm because in actuality it’s far less tiring when you let the tide do all the work for you.

review and prevent the construction of a building that would be a lasting “Monument to Bad Government.”

Last month, the ARB voted in favor of a nonconforming building design proposed for construction at 40 Meadow Lane, a crucial site in the historic district. The address has long been the location of a “shingle style” cottage that would be replaced by a 49-foot-high, modernist, concrete-and-glass design that would loom over the adjoining traditional buildings.

The ARB approved the design – after less than 10 minutes of discussion, with incomplete information, and with no public input. On July 14th, a f o r m a l re q u e s t t o re - o p e n t h e application was made by neighbors of 40 Meadow Lane, as well as The Meadow Club and The Southampton Association.

Issues with the latest proposed building design include character, scale, and materials. Where the surrounding buildings are 19th-century “shingle style” or post-

modern shingled houses that defer to their predecessors, especially the 1887 Meadow Club, the new building is made of floor-to-ceiling glass panels – on all four facades and three stories – with limestone and mahogany; concrete-slab projecting balconies, and a zinc roof. On this pivotal site, the building would be visible for half a mile in every direction, undercutting the crown jewels of Southampton’s 19thcentury historic architecture.

The Southampton Code makes it unlawful to approve a proposed building in the historic district without renderings and other information revealing the context and materials, in order to ensure that any new structure is “compatible with the character of the nearby properties in the historic district.”

The applicant submitted none of the facts needed for the ARB to make the required findings – no images that Continued on Page 27.

would permit it to evaluate the effect on the “surrounding properties and the neighborhood.” The absence of that legallyrequired information, inadequate public notice, and the inconsistency with prior approvals in the historic district are some of the grounds for re-opening the record.

For reasons that are unknown, the ARB acted precipitously and with a much lower standard of information-gathering and review than is its normal practice.

In securing a demolition permit for the historic building at 40 Meadow Lane, the lawyer for the applicant explicitly represented: “This is not, this decidedly not, someone who is going to attempt to build a contemporary design . . .” Initial designs for the new building, examined by neighbors, showed a home built with windows and materials consistent with other buildings in the district. The final design represents a “bait and switch” approach that should not be approved. At the Board of Trustees meeting on July 22nd, the lawyer for the applicant acknowledged that the initial designs were just “a placeholder.”

The Village of Southampton’s Board of Historic Preservation & Architectural Review should uphold and defend the historic beach district by rejecting the nonconforming design proposed for construction at 40 Meadow Lane. At issue is the very essence of a historic district.

The law preserving it should be enforced, and the integrity of the historic district preserved.

Otherwise, Southampton will lose a vital part of its heritage – the very heritage that the ARB was created to protect – and receive instead a lasting “Monument to Bad Government.”

Protecting Clean Water Dear Editor, To New Yorkers, the Long Island Sound is a treasure. It’s where we go to take a swim, boat, and soak up the sun.

But the Long Island Sound and many other waterways across New York are at risk.

According to Environment New York Research and Policy Center’s new report, “Wasting Our Waterways,” New York State is ranked 15th in the nation for toxic discharges to waterways with over 5 million pounds released in 2012. The report also found that 227,000 pounds of toxic chemicals were dumped into the Long Island Sound watershed.

REAL ESTATE

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

More than 40 years ago, Congress passed the Clean Water Act to protect the Long Island Sound and other water bodies across New York. Yet lawsuits brought by polluters have resulted in court decisions that now put 55 percent of New York’s streams at risk of losing this protection.

We cannot continue to allow polluters to dump millions of pounds of toxic pollution into New York’s waters.

This summer, the Environmental Protection Agency is working to close the loopholes in the Clean Water Act. This could be the single largest step taken for clean water in more than a decade. But polluters are pressuring the EPA to back down.

We know waterways like the Long Island Sound are a big part of what makes summer in New York so great. That’s why it’s critical we move swiftly to close these loopholes and restore Clean Water Act protections, so that all New York’s waters get the protection they need and deserve.

Insight By Ed Gifford

Quality Of Life Dear Mr. Murphy, Regarding Bridget Fleming’s “Historic Homes” letter published in the July 16 edition of The Independent, I believe Ms. Fleming must consider an important factor that influences a homeowner’s decision to sell a facade easement to Southampton in exchange for compensation to preserve an old structure.

That factor is the culture of the community. The home in East Quogue described by Ms. Fleming is in all likelihood owned by a married couple who live next to neighbors and/or businesses that respect their property.

However, the culture of East Quogue as reported in at least one article in The Southampton Press encourages vandalism of a woman’s property. Therefore, it makes no sense for someone like myself to sell an easement given the failure of the Town to guarantee the safety and quality of life of women property owners.

The practice of vandalism, which is often accompanied by threats when vandalism is opposed, demands more creative solutions.

Otherwise compensation received will be needed for protection instead of preservation.

Aside from the fact that aggression against women deters investment, it’s worth nothing that the artist community of the Hamptons has always opposed such aggression. For example, Artists Against Abuse recently sponsored an event honoring Democratic Congressman Timothy Bishop. To quote Mr. Bishop, “I have always been a strong advocate for

the . . . rights of women . . . they deserve to be treated with respect by their male counterparts.”

Unfortunately, in Southampton I have seen little evidence of respect by Democrats (or their supporters) who have engaged in the type of vandalism that leads me to question the sincerity of Congressman Bishop’s convictions.

SUSAN CERWINSKI

Screw Ups To the Editor, Here is the number one reason for not allowing CVS to open a store in Bridgehampton: No, it’s not parking.

No, it’s not redundancy (Rite Aid is already there) It is for the mental health protection of citizens of all the Hamptons. Anyone who has experienced the CVS store in East Hampton, knows what I am talking about.

CVS is one of the most ineptly run enterprises on the face of the earth. With perhaps an exception or two, most of

the employees are deaf, dumb and blind to the needs of their customers, with the emphasis on “dumb.”

I have never been party to more mistakes, screw-ups, misunderstandings and general incompetence.

Open a Duane Reade or a Walgreen’s or . . . well, anything but another CVS. If CVS would disappear, the collective blood pressure levels of all the Hamptons’ citizens would decrease markedly.

Call 631-537-9735 to make a reservation. SoFo is located at 377 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton.

PETS

Max is a young poodle mix looking for his furever home. Max has not had an easy start in life so RSVP Inc. Animal Welfare and Rescue gave him a new one. He is currently with a wonderful foster family and looking forward to a permanent home in the very near future. Max has come a long way with love, training and lots of TLC. Max loves attention from people he trusts.

Once he forms a bond with you, he will be your best buddy. Max needs a patient dog savvy owner, willing to give him the same attention and commitment his foster family has given him. He would probably thrive in an adult home with no other fur siblings to share but could possibly be placed in a home that helps him adjust to other animals over time.

RSVP Inc. is willing to provide training and guidance with the transition into his new home.

For more information please call 631-533-2738 or fill out an application online! at www.rsvpinc.org! .R.S.V.P. (631) 728-3524.

Independent VOICES

Continued from page 27.

Notwithstanding Mr. Zizelis’ plodding attempt to wryly comment on the Republican Party’s “war on women,” we also have to contend with the classic Leftist tripe -- wherein an entitlement becomes a “right,” as if by magic.

I shall keep it simple for Mr. Zizelis: One cannot go to the Constitutional Rights Store to purchase, say, a month’s supply of free speech.

Free speech is a “right” (in the correct sense of the word) because it is given to us in the Constitution. On the other hand, one must go to some vendor in order to purchase birth control supplies. If a third part entity, like the federal government, decides one day that it will purchase such supplies for women -- well, that freebie is known as an entitlement. By its very nature, an entitlement is ephemeral. It can be taken away as quickly as it had been given.

See the difference, Nick?

The Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision had nothing whatsoever to do with proscriptions “concerning a woman’s right to make decisions concerning her own body.” The Court ruled in favor of the

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

Hobby Lobby’s moral objection to paying for abortifacients. As it stands, 16 out of 20 birth control devices and drugs are paid for by HL through their insurance policies.

HL drew a line when it came to funding post-pregnancy drugs and the Court sided with them.

Where is one’s “right” to purchase a drug being diminished by this decision?

Just what did women do before Obamacare became law? I’ll tell you what they did. If they wanted an abortifacient they paid for it themselves, if necessary.

There was no outcry then about that.

Most every company in the USA funds these abortifacients through their health coverage -- but the Left has nothing to say about that. What they do try to say is that an entitlement is the same thing as a right.

This technique serves their government-isall worldview.

www.indyeastend.com

Hobby Lobby is actually a wonderful company to work for. An exemplar of good wages, benefits and care for their employees. It’s just that they refuse to pay for one type of drug. On religious grounds.

Mr. Zizelis cannot bring himself to show respect for that moral conviction. Even though I cannot bring myself to criticize a woman who wants to abort her fetus, I can fully appreciate that others, such as Hobby Lobby, have deeper, more fundamental reasons to disagree with me.

Dear Mr. Murphy, If it weren’t for humans seeking a better life and migrating to our land, the United States would not have evolved into the greatness it has, thus attracting yet others here today with the same desires as yesteryear. Yet their arrivals are treated by some as if it were a new occurrence and a threatening one.

The latest to set foot are never welcome.

flight upward while simultaneously stretching its limbs forward to create a parachute effect allowing it to land softly on the tree. Upon landing it immediately scurries to the opposite side of the tree to avoid any predator that may have seen and followed the course of its glide.

Weighing in at only two and one quarter ounces and measuring eight to ten inches in body length Southern Flying Squirrels have disproportionately large eyes, presumably, to help them avoid obstacles as they glide from tree to tree at night. The female typically gives birth to two litters of young a year and the nest is located in a tree cavity, often an abandoned woodpecker hole.

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

During summer, like gray squirrels, gliders may construct nests in the branches of trees composed of twigs, soft leaves and strips of bark. Occasionally they have been known to nest in barns, out buildings and even the attics of occupied houses. Nests are usually lined with shredded bark. Found in pairs for most of the year they will, in cold winter weather, den in a communal cavity that can have as many as 10 to 20 squirrels sleeping together for warmth.

For all of their aerial and arboreal agility, flying squirrels are rather clumsy on the ground when foraging for fallen acorns, nuts, insects and fungi so they seldom venture very far from the safety of trees. They also raid bird nests and eat eggs and young nestlings.

So how did flying squirrels get onto the South Fork and why

THE BODY

were they not here to begin with?

As previously mentioned flying squirrels avoid moving across open ground and never get too distant from trees.

Perhaps the limiting factor for the South Fork in pre Columbian times and well into early colonial days was the extensive maritime grassland that existed on the narrow isthmus that is now known as Shinnecock Hills. The lack of trees would have been an effective barrier to the expansion of their range.

M u c h h a s c h a n g ed in t h e intervening years and most of that area is now covered by buildings, shrubs, and trees that have grown up across what was once windswept grassland. However, along with the change in habitat came another formidable manmade barrier, the Shinnecock Canal. It is too wide for

a squirrel to glide across.

It seems the only plausible answer to the question of how they got here is the modern day nuisance trapper. I have spoken to a few who have admitted to relocating animals trapped from west of the canal to areas east of it. Not that it matters to the squirrels since they have what is essentially an empty niche to fill and I am sure they will, if they haven’t already, spread to all the woods on the South Fork. As the old axiom says, nature abhors a vacuum.

Jim Ash is the vice president of the board of directors of the South Fork Natural History Museum in Bridgehampton. SoFo’s mission is to stimulate interest in, advance knowledge of, and foster appreciation for the natural environment, with special emphasis on the unique natural history of Long Island’s South Fork.

A Whole Litter Fun

Independent/Courtesy ImaginationNature.com

For the last several weeks staff from Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee have joined area activist Dell Cullum in Sunday morning litter cleanups in Amagansett.

Now, Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee and Cullum’s ImaginationNature.com are hosting a contest. The Amagansett Chamber of Commerce and other litter conscious businesses in Amagansett are sponsoring it.

Starting next Sunday and for every Sunday in August (five in all) all participants will meet at Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee in Amagansett at 6 AM. Jack’s will fill you full of refreshing coffee and then it’s off to pick up trash in Amagansett. After each Sunday session the trash will be weighed and tallied for each picker.

The numbers will be kept secret until Sunday, September 7, when organizers will announce and award the top two winners with a prize.

And to sweeten the pie, that day organizers and participants and community members will celebrate another kick off to the fall trash clean up season ahead. The goal, according to Cullum, is “make Amagansett trash free and set an example for other villages in our awesome town, other townships and as far out as we can reach.”

Spread the word. Get involved. Stir it up, pick it up!!

Artists Against Addiction

Independent/ Kitty Merrill

The Arts Against Addiction Show last Thursday boasted works from dozens of works by artists local and from away. Curated by Karyn Mannix, the event was the brainchild of Psychotherapist Spero Alexio. Proceeds from the event will fund treatment scholarships through his QTherapy Institute.

Steve Haweeli (above) and John Kawalenko (seen top right, with hot tomato Ingrid Lemme) were among featured artists.

FANTASY SP

Preconceived Notions I ran into my buddy “All-In” Ike the other day and as usual the conversation turned to Fantasy Football after about four seconds of pleasantries.

“I’m taking wide receivers with my first two picks,” he said. I asked why. “I want to have two elite wide receivers on my team this year. Most of the teams that won last season had the best receivers.”

That was true enough. “What pick do you have in the draft?” I asked him. “I don’t know yet,” he said.

And thus we have Exhibit A for a cardinal rule of fantasy sports: don’t go into your draft with rigid preconceived notions. Why? Because drafts are fluid. Drafts depend on what the other team owners decide to do. What if the team picking just ahead of my friend also wanted to stock up on wide receivers?

First of all, you must wait until you know where you pick in the first round to map out a firm strategy.

Here’s why: According to the Fantasy Football Calculator, the first wide receiver being drafted is (of course) Calvin “Megatron” Johnson. His ADP (Average Draft Position) is 5.5. Let’s suppose you have the first overall pick. Do you really want to use it on a wide receiver?

In Ike’s case, even if he chose

Megatron with the first pick he wouldn’t achieve his goal of landing two elite wide receivers, because his next pick would be #24, assuming he is using the snake draft system.

That’s because there are no more than five first tier receivers: Tron, DeMaryius Thomas, Dez Bryant, AJ Green, and Julio Jones. Their ADPs are all before #24. In fact, there are seven wide receivers (Brandon Marshall and Jordy Nelson) being drafted before the #24th pick, and an eighth, Antonio Brown, whose ADP is 24.8.

In other words, All-In will be AllOut. Not only will he fall short of his desire to get two top wide receivers, but chances are he’ll also miss out on the first 11 running backs, the top two quarterbacks, and the top tight end.

So how did all those teams last year end up with two great wide receivers? Either they were smart enough to pick Alshon Jeffery or Josh Gordon later in their drafts, or they picked somewhere around the middle of the first round. Assuming Johnson was still on the board when the fifth pick came up, the team picking there would have an excellent chance at landing another top tier wide receiver in the second round.

Teams that picked sixth or seventh in the first round would

also have a chance depending on how many running backs were chosen, but would be less likely to come out of the draft with two stud wide receivers.

It is foolhardy to make a decision about which player you want to pick in the first round unless you know what your pick is.

Let’s go back to All In Ike. If he really wanted to go through with his strategy, he could request the fifth pick, which a lot of leagues let you do nowadays, most noticeably the National Fantasy Football Championship. He’d be locked in to Tron, right? Wrong!

Ike has no way of knowing if the guy with the fourth pick requested that spot just so he could draft Megatron. Or, some other unexpected scenario might develop. Let’s say Adrian Peterson and Megatron are available when Ike picks at number five -- should he abandon his plan to take a wide

receiver? The answer is he should consider it. He should keep an open mind.

I did a mock draft that night to illustrate to Ike how things can change quickly. I vowed to start my draft with two wide receivers, but I was assigned pick number nine, and Matt Forte, a running back sitting on a big year, was still available. I grabbed him. By the time my second round pick came around 10 receivers were gone (including Jeffery, who I was targeting) so I took another running back, Marshawn Lynch, who had an ADP of 16 but had slipped to me. I took my first receiver late in the third round: Michael Floyd.

I didn’t plan it that way. I wanted two elite wide receivers, but it just didn’t happen for me, so I adjusted.

No one ever knows how things will work out until the NFL season begins -- then all the ADPs and draft strategies will be out the window.

Georgica Pond Danger The public is being warned to stay away from Georgica Pond after the East Hampton Town Trustees closed the popular kayak and crabbing hotspot. Elevated levels of a poisonous algae makes the waters unsafe, town officials said.

According to the Suffolk County Health Department the blue-green algae is caused by bacteria that can be fatal if swallowed. In fact, a dog died in 2012 after drinking the water under similar conditions.

Officials warned the public not to take crabs, shellfish or fish from the pond for at least two more weeks.

There are several other bodies of water on the East End that are also showing elevated levels of the harmful algae including Mill Pond in Watermill, Lake Agawam and Wickapogue Pond in Southampton Village and Lake Marratooka in Mattituck.

A complete list of area ponds affected is available from the New York State Department of Environmental Protection.

Play Bridge I played this hand last Monday at the Water Mill Bridge Club. The contract was reasonable and I had a good plan for making my contract winning either four or five tricks.

What I did not do is plan for a bad break in spades. When a contract seems secure the “experts” will think about what might go wrong and decide what to do when that happens.

After I trumped the second club with my two of spades, I led to the king of spades and, when East was void, I knew that I would lose two trump tricks along with my club loser. Thus I could not afford a loser in the red suits. It seemed that I needed a successful finesse in hearts or diamonds and I tried the diamond finesse which lost to West’s queen.

As is often the case, I had a better option. I actually thought about it but played diamonds too quickly.

When the diamond finesse lost, I lost the contract.

I should have continued to play trumps. West wins but either plays his last trump or has to lead one of the red suits. If he leads a heart, I will let it ride to my jack. If he leads a diamond, I have a free finesse in that suit. If he continues with his last trump, he wins but then must lead a red suit. I would end up losing one club trick and two trump tricks but I would make my contract.

Several of my students think I play brilliantly because I am a good teacher. Hope they don’t read this column.

If you know four or five dedicated people who would like to learn how to play the world’s most exciting and challenging card game, please call me at 631-766-6656 or email me at gaman13927@aol.com.
