Fighting Cancer With Yoga By Laura Field
What do a premium menswear brand and a not for profit yoga and meditation practice have in common? They are both committed to helping those in need. Premium menswear brand Tommy John is living up to its philanthropic mission by teaming up with United We Om, a meditation non-profit, to provide yoga classes to men living with testicular and prostate cancer in the city and in Amagansett. The classes are free for men with cancer or in remission, as well as their spouses and caregivers. United We Om provides practices to underserved and vulnerable communities such as veterans, autistic adults, homeless single mothers, and foster children. This made them the perfect candidate for Tommy John’s corporate donors’ program Buy One, Give One, which allows the company to give back to a charity of its choice. When asked why they decided to
take their cause to The Hamptons, Executive Director of United We Om, Matt Jared stated, “When the project began to develop, we

Independent/Courtesy United We Om
reached out to Y4C (Yoga for Cancer) and told them we were looking for a male yoga teacher with extensive training in Yoga for Cancer. They recommended Eric Pettigrew, who is a “Master Trainer,” their highest level of certification. Eric resides in the East Hampton area during the summer and was connected with the Yoga for Cancer community in the area and organizations such as Fighting Chance. “Eric currently teaches other yoga for cancer classes in the area, which are predominately for breast cancer and in an article I found online, Eric mentioned his desire to serve the male population as well. I just knew he was perfect.” United We Om has been out to The Hamptons before, but never with their Karma Project. Jared claimed that they plan to have two more Karma Projects this year, both of which will serve Spanishspeaking community of full time residents. Yoga has been around for 5000 years, and somewhat recently it has been pegged a “women’s activity.” Although this couldn’t be farther from the truth, we at The Independent were intrigued why United We Om and Tommy John chose to target men for their yoga classes. “Tommy John chose men with cancer, I assume because they are primarily a menswear brand,” Jared explained. “When we work on a Karma Project, we are almost always facing the question of how to make Yoga accessible across a social boundary. Social boundaries
can be the hardest to cross, and often prevent people who could benefit deeply from the practice, from trying it out. “The most important part of creating a safe space in our Karma Projects is having a teacher that shares common ground with the students. Since most Yoga teachers and practitioners in the country are women, it can make it doubly hard for a man navigating the incredibly difficult journey of fighting cancer to feel at ease and understood. Ensuring that we had a male teacher was of the utmost importance to us, and we hope that it will invite many men who might not have experience with Yoga to join in.” Tommy John has previously supported the works of the Testicular Cancer Foundation, and wanted to continue its support of men with cancer. When Jared discovered that the company was looking for a yoga program for men with cancer, he felt as though it was meant to be. Jared had previously worked with Renee Harper Lee, Tommy John’s Head of People and Culture, and reached out to her about the project. When the project was in motion, the next step was finding a local yoga studio for the classes. That is where Mandala Yoga Studio in Amagansett came into the picture. “I connected with Mandala Studio through the yoga teacher Eric Pettigrew,” stated Jared. “Jolie Parcher, the owner of Mandala, has been beyond generous, offering her space to us at no cost and helping us to reach out to the community. She is truly dedicated to serving others with yoga.” Classes will begin on Friday from 4 PM to 5 PM, and will continue every Friday through September 2. This is just one of many classes held at Mandala, which provides yoga for all levels of experience. Yoga has numerous health benefits including lower blood pressure, improved cardiovascular and circulatory health, stronger muscles, and improved posture. If you or a loved one is battling testicular or prostate cancer, consider finding your Om while being surrounded by men who know the struggle firsthand. For more information about classes call Mandala Studio at 631-267-6144 or visit them in the Amagansett Square, and find your OM.

ANOTHER NOBODY ASKED ME, BUT . . . Wi t h t h a n k s t o t h e g r e a t sportswriter Jimmy Cannon, who did it first. ******************************************* Welcome to the official site of Paul Ryan for President in 2020. ******************************************* How much do you hate the Olympic games in Rio? Do you care? Does anyone care? Let’s face it, if you stay up every night until 1 AM just to watch a bunch of people wearing goggles swimming as fast as they can, maybe you should think about what’s happened to your life. Here’s an idea. Instead of watching the boring Olympics at 1 AM, why don’t you reach over, tickle your spouse and see what happens? OK . . . back to Rio. Did we actually win a gold medal in the air gun category? That must have been so, so exciting to watch. And what’s this about the disgusting category called trampoline gymnastics? If I want to
watch people on a trampoline I can always watch my grandkids Beanie, Charlie, and Maggie. They’re wild, fearless, and I have my heart in my throat as I watch them jumping for joy on their trampoline. As for synchronized swimming, this is a boring category that I refuse to watch on NBC. I’ll go to “Movies On Demand” and watch “Million Dollar Mermaid,” starring the very beautiful Esther Williams. Nutty genius choreographer Busby Berkeley was brilliant, and he designed all the movie’s synchronized swimming with incredible water ballets. Here’s an inside treat: Watch “Million Dollar Mermaid” and you’ll see Esther Williams breaking her neck for her art. One of the water ballets required Esther to dive from a 50-foot tower wearing a metal crown. The impact of the water actually caused the crown to break Esther’s neck, putting her in a body cast for six months before shooting could resume. So how do I really feel about

these boring Olympics? I think they’re wonderful if you’re an athlete and you want to score some performance-enhancing drugs. And to end on this happy note: About 450,000 condoms were allocated this year for athletes to have safe sex. Oh, the irony: There you are in the middle of the act, proud that you’re having safe sex, and then out of nowhere a Zika mosquito comes along and bites you on the ass. ******************************************* Peggy Noonan, who is sort of a Republican, is by far the best political writer in the country. Her column in last Sunday’s New York Post titled, “The Week They Decided Donald Trump Was Crazy,” was a gem. Here are a couple of excerpts in the column about Hillary: “She’d have spent the past week defending her claims if it weren’t for Mr. Trump’s tireless attempts to kill Mr. Trump.” “She (Hillar y) is aware no one believes she’s honest and trustworthy. If there’s one thing Mrs. Clinton knows it’s how to read a poll. She has accepted that people understand her. Her debate approach will be this: In spite of what will no doubt be some uncomfortable moments, she will, in comparison with him, seem sturdy and grounded — normal.” “That, this week, could be her bumper sticker: “Hillary: Way Less Abnormal.” ******************************************* To be fair, let’s hear it for Donald Trump. On Monday in Detroit he
IN THE NEWS
made a very good speech on his economic plans for the country. Now if only he would make another speech saying, as president, he will take his finger off the nuclear button and he will assign a team of three to make that decision. Then, if he can beg everyone to forget all the nutty things he’s said so far, he will make it a race instead of a rout. ******************************************* I owe Donald an apology. I’ve written how much I hate his immigration policy, but the fact is I agree with him on only one person. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber must be kept out of the United States, forever. Webber must be punished for bringing back his horrible, boring, tuneless musical disaster Cats. Cats is a trap that is only appreciated by Japanese tourists. ******************************************* The great Pete Fountain died the other day. He and I were doubles for each other. Every time I went to New Orleans people followed me down the street screaming “Pete! Pete! Pete!” I was stopped for autographs wherever I went, and one demented woman followed me and insisted that I was Pete Fountain, until I finally had to show her my driver’s license. I once showed my mom a picture of Pete Fountain. She stared at the picture and said, “Why are you holding that clarinet?” Being the careful sort, I won’t be going to New Orleans for a while. I’m afraid if I show up they will bury me instead of Pete. ******************************************* This is morbid, but when I read about the person who, carrying a birthday cake with lit candles, tripped and fell down a flight of stairs and started a fire that killed 13 people, I couldn’t help but think that is something I would do. I’m a klutz. Thus, my lifelong policy of never carrying a lit birthday cake or a child under five years old. ******************************************* August is a strange month. On one side it’s beautiful, the weather is great and life is easy. But August can be a cruel month because it moves with a speed that you won’t find in any other month on the calendar. August days move as fast as February days creep along, so slowly. Every night when you go to bed in August you have to think that in a few days, the cook-outs, the beach, the carefree family time will be over and school will soon begin. It doesn’t matter how old you are, the trauma of school and September stays with you for life. If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Get Your Zen On By Laura Field
The Kadampa Meditation Center of the Hamptons in Sag Harbor is the key to relaxation this summer. They offer a variety of introductory meditation classes daily for everyone, no matter your level of experience. On Tuesday I had the pleasure of attending one of their lunchtime guided meditation classes. The Center offers these classes Monday through Friday from 12:15 to 12:45 PM (perfect for lunch breaks). The class focused on breathing and clearing your mind to find peace and serenity. Leader Rosalind Brenner
emphasized not thinking during our session, and if we found ourselves wandering in thought, to return back to our breathing. This task sounds simple, but if you are like me and your mind runs at a mile per minute, it is difficult to just focus on breathing for a half hour. Surprisingly, after a couple of minutes, I could feel myself becoming less stressed, and all of the problems that I had going in seemed to be much smaller when I left. When talking to Brenner after class, I mentioned a time in my world religion class at college that a student said that meditation was unrealistic for everyday life. “That’s

just not true. It only takes a few minutes, even if it is just when you wake up in the morning. And the way you feel after makes it all worth it,” stated Brenner. It was clear to

see by the number of people in attendance that meditation truly does works for everyday lives. The class is underwritten through donations, so you pay what you can.

It’s simple, cheap, and provides great health benefits. So why aren’t you doing it? People have been practicing meditation for thousands of years, and the results have been the same: lowered stress, lowered risk of heart attack or stroke, lowered insomnia, and increase happiness. Meditation has a plethora of benefits for your mind and your body that can be achieved with only a few minutes everyday. Meditating helps to clear your mind, and reduce depression according to the Mayo Clinic. It helps participants focus on the present, and reduce negative emotions. It can also help to manage stress and anger in negative situations. Some researchers believe that meditating can help people manage symptoms of conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and even cancer. There are many different levels of meditation, so if one isn’t giving you the results you desire, simply try another.

Creating The Stuart Experience By Kitty Merrill
In a town where the rich and famous come to summer, he was simply known as Stuart. That d i s t i n c t i o n d r e w f i l m m a k e r, journalist, and podcaster Najib Aminy to iconic local fisherman and Bonac bon vivant Stuart Vorpahl. This week, Aminy’s two-part story about Stuart debuted on his podcast, Some Noise. A native Long Islander, Aminy first came across Vorpahl while researching a subject for his senior thesis at Stony Brook University. He ultimately chose to craft his thesis around farming on the East End, but, he said, “There was something about Stuart that stuck with me.” Aminy graduated and moved to Northern California, but, still, he wanted to tell Vorpahl’s story. “There was nobody like him,” he recalled, speaking of a sense of uniqueness locals were inured to, but might fascinate those “from away.” As he began his professional career in Palo Alto, focusing on the technical aspects of producing news for tablet and phone, Aminy
sated his creative itch by producing stories in his free time. And returned to Stuart. Aminy made routine trips back and forth from San Francisco to East Hampton, initially interviewing Vorpahl in 2014, visiting him, interviewing colleagues and friends, and even attending his funeral earlier this year. “What is Stuart’s story about?” Aminy asked during an interview this week. The Dongan Patent, the town board, the town trustees, the fishing community, the new community of rich and famous – they all play different roles in the story of Vorpahl, a crusader for fishermen’s rights, defender of the common people and descendant of one of East Hampton’s oldest families. Aminy chose to share Vorpahl, a sometimes eccentric, always opinionated local character with the world using a multi-pronged media approach – with print, audio, and video. All the pieces put together build “an experience,” he explained. Aminy plans to produce another episode about Vorpahl later this summer, with the finished product

Laird Hamilton And Gabrielle Reece Host Ride At Flywheel
By Jessica Mackin
Flywheel, along with worldrenowned athletes Laird Hamilton and Gabrielle Reece, hosted a VIP morning ride on Monday at Flywheel’s East Hampton studio. Reece is a professional volleyball player, sports announcer, model and author. Hamilton is a big-wave surfer and the co-inventor of tow-in surfing. This special class for invited guests was led by Flywheel’s CoFounder and Creative Director Ruth Zukerman, and Master Instructor and star of Bravo’s “Work Out New York” Holly Rilinger, who provided guests with an intense indoor cycling experience. The high-energy spin proved to be the much-needed action I required to sweat away my case of the Mondays and prepare me for the long day ahead. Most importantly, it was a lot of fun and enlightening. Flywheel presents far more than a workout. It’s energy that charges you, music that motivates you, and technology that drives you so you’re ready for whatever life brings. Bring it on, Flywheel! Expect to burn 600 to 800 calories in one ride. The 45-minute indoor cycling classes offer unparalleled performance tracking technology, a supportive, welcoming atmosphere, and proven results. The highly trained instructors are cycling enthusiasts who are committed to helping you succeed. I have taken many spin classes, but this was my first experience at Flywheel. The studio uses technology that can accurately track your progress, and if you opt for it, can post your score to the studio’s TorqBoard, bringing some healthy competition to the class. According to the Flywheel site, “On every bike, our proprietary techpacks allow you to accurately view — and adjust — your work effort at every point in your ride. You’ll have total control over resistance and RPMs, so you can see exactly how much energy you’re exerting.”
Although I may not have scored as high on the TorqBoard as Gabrielle Reece (this was a given), I was proud of my score and hope to continue to increase the score in my future visits to Flywheel. Basically, I’m hooked. Flywheel has locations in East Hampton and Sag Harbor, as well as New York City. To book a class, visit www.flywheelsports.com.

Perseid Shower This Week By Kitty Merrill
What a great excuse to go out and lie on your back in the middle of the sand in the middle of the beach in the middle of the night in the middle of August. This year the annual Perseid meteor shower is expected to put on a show of some 150 to 200 shooting stars per hour, and it all starts tomorrow. Typically, the Perseid boasts 50 to 75 meteors per hour but, according to NASA, viewers can expect to see twice as many. Last time the shower was so extravagant was in 2009. The extra show is known as an “outburst.” The annual explosion of shooting stars is described by most skygazers
as their favorite. According to astronomy.com, “This annual shower seemingly has it all: It offers a consistently high rate of meteors year after year; it produces a higher percentage of bright ones than most other showers; it occurs in August when many people take summer vacation; and it happens at a time when nice weather and reasonable nighttime temperatures are common north of the equator. No other major shower boasts all four of these attributes.” The website explains: “The Perseids begin as tiny specks of dust that hit Earth’s atmosphere at 37 miles per second, vaporizing from friction with the air and leaving behind the streaks of
light we call meteors. These dust particles were born in a periodic comet known as 109P/Swift-Tuttle,

which last returned to the inner solar system in 1992. But the giant planet Jupiter recently nudged Swift-Tuttle’s debris stream closer to Earth’s orbit.” Said to be as large as the comet that killed the dinosaurs, SwiftTuttle was discovered in 1892 and is no threat to earth. If scientists’ predictions reach fruition, star gazers could see as many as 150 meteors per hour tomorrow night, stretching to the predawn hours on Friday. The best views should be Friday after the moon sets around 1 AM. “The spectacle will continue to improve as dawn approaches because the shower’s radiant — the spot on the border between the constellations Perseus and Cassiopeia where the meteors appear to emanate from — climbs higher,” according to astronomy. com. When a comet’s end swings close to the sun, the heat boils the icy surface causing particles of ice and dust to dart into space. When the particles form on the comet’s tail and the earth crosses its orbit, passing through the tail, the meteor shower can be seen. As the debris hits the earth’s atmosphere, it burns. Hence the name “shooting stars.” To best view the shower, find a location away from artificial lights and head out between midnight and dawn on Friday. Set up blankets on the ground, or a lounge chair and give yourself about 45 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dark. Then, look straight up or direct your gaze about two-thirds of the way from the horizon to the zenith. Experts suggest letting your eyes wander so your peripheral vision can pick up meteors you otherwise might not see. A live broadcast of the shower will be available on Ustream overnight Thursday to Friday and Friday to Saturday beginning at 10 PM.

A Message from Hampton Septic Services When it comes to Septic Systems most homeowners take the “Out of Sight Out of Mind” approach. If you don’t see it, you don’t have any nasty odors and septic backing up then why have it serviced? This way of thinking can cost you a lot of time and even more money! At Hamptons Septic Services OUR approach is to be Proactive rather than Reactive. More often than not, new customers contact us because their Septic System is failing at which point it becomes very difficult to control. Signs that your Septic System is failing can come in the form of simultaneously slow drainage and/or water backing up in tubs, sinks, toilets, washing machines, unusual gurgling sounds when running water, increasingly unpleasant odors in and around the house, discoloring and softening of your lawn, and depressions in the soil around the system. The good news is YES, IT IS POSSIBLE to prevent septic back-ups! Our customers receive recommended routine maintenance pumping which allows proper functionality of their septic systems preventing the unknown.
understandIng your sePtIc system: The components of modern septic systems are a house sewer drain, a septic tank, a cesspool, and the soil absorption field.
Some older homes have only a cesspool ring acting as the primary Septic Tank which then leaches directly to the soil. When you run water or flush a toilet the discharge from the drain is first collected by the Septic Tank. The Septic Tank is designed to separate waste, solids sink to the bottom forming the sludge layer and the lighter solids such as grease rise to the surface forming the scum layer. Between the solid and scum layers is the waste water layer which will eventually drain to the Cesspool where it then slowly leaches out into the ground to be biologically treated by the soil. common sePtIc system Issues: After the Septic Tank separates waste, the solids that remain in the tank are meant to break down over time, but often the rate of solid accumulation exceeds the rate of the breakdown causing the solids to overflow to the cesspool and ground, eventually causing backup of septic in the yard or house. Frequent removal and pumping of the solids in the Septic Tank will prevent system back-ups. Other reasons for poor drainage of your system could be frequent rainfall, or close proximity to beaches and oceans where the water tables are higher. In this case your system capacity may need to be increased by adding additional Cesspools.

the more you know...the more you save how often should I PumP my sePtIc tank: There are many variables which will determine how often you should have your system pumped. The New York State Department of Health recommends having your system, pumped out every two to three years. If you have a garbage disposal, live close to a body of water, have a smaller or older septic system then you may want to have it pumped more frequently. I have no Idea where to fInd my sePtIc tank, can you locate It? Yes! We can locate your septic system using many techniques. We recommend locating your system prior to needing it serviced. If you wait to locate your system in an emergency it can become very messy and costly. what should not go Into the sePtIc system? Septic systems are designed to treat domestic waste water produced from routine activities such as bathing, toilets, dishwashers and washing machines. Do not drain or flush harsh chemicals, paint, solvents, paint cleaners and degreasers, and pesticides. Refrain from disposing of latex products, feminine hygiene products, baby or personal wipes and any other dense waste.

Tuckahoe Road Takeover
Southampton Town Board Gets An Earful

Perhaps the defining moment at Thursday’s Southampton Town Board work session came about 100 minutes into it when Josephine Smith took the podium. The board heard a presentation from Drew Pickett, the President of Shinnecock Golf Club, which wants to relocate a portion of Tuckahoe Road that runs through the center

Our ancestors would go down to Short Beach to swim and gather clay to make pots,” she continued matterof-factly. “This isn’t just a place for those who have money to go and play,” she said, voice rising. “This

An East Hampton couple was hospitalized, and Sunrise Highway closed, after they were hit by an alleged impaired driver. Crystal Hayes and Christopher King had stopped their Jeep on the shoulder of the eastbound lanes of the highway at about 11:30 AM on Saturday when another vehicle veered out of control and struck the pair, who had exited their car and were on foot. New York State Police said they determined Ulyana Yaremko, 20, of Hampton Bays, who was piloting the other car, was impaired.

In addition, many of the residents are seniors who walk to shops on Montauk Highway every morning to get the newspaper. “It’s hard to believe we are even entertaining this. The interest of the few should not change the lives of so many.” Joe Gazza said he built the Montessori School for his wife, who ran it for 34 years. “This will ruin the road around the school,” he said. “Right now there is a little plastic white fence. We’ll need a fence with barbed wire.” Gazza pointed out that the proposed new road is pointed directly at the school’s front driveway. “You’re putting the school in crosshairs,” he said.

But another new road would be built from St. Andrews north and would reconnect to Tuckahoe Road near Tuckahoe Lane. That means almost a mile of the current Tuckahoe Road – from CR 39, north past the clubhouse and through the course - would be gone, and thus the vistas no longer available to the public. “We are going to lose another vista,” said James Ding, “It’s another vista we’re not going to be able to see.

the view as well as the road. “They’ll only let in the people they want to let in,” he charged. Several in the crowd wondered why the town board is even entertaining the matter. “This is a PR session, an unveiling. It’s a solution in place of a problem that doesn’t exist,” Richard Casabianca said. Elena Loreto, president of the Noyac Civil Council, was one of several speakers who suggested the golfers simply build a tunnel to go under Tuckahoe Road where it bisects the golf course. “I thought this was about the safety of our citizens. Oh I forget – it’s about the safety of the golfers,” she said sarcastically. The Greek Orthodox Church of the Hamptons is on 111 St. Andrews Road. The rerouted traffic would surely adversely affect the neighborhood and parishioners,
said Fr. Constantine Lazarakis, the Presbyter. “Safety is a huge thing on the road. Kids come to play at the church.” He said traffic at the intersection would be “a debacle.” Pickett made a point of saying that Shinnecock has always put the environment ahead of all else and pointed to the preservation of sensitive grasslands on the course. But Cecelia Sampaio, armed with blown up photographs, showed large swaths that had been cleared to accommodate crowds that attended the U.S Open – virgin areas that were never replanted. “Is this being environmentally conscious?” she asked, pointing to the photographs. Pickett pledged millions of dollars to the town and Tuckahoe School District (see accompanying article) if the Tuckahoe Road privatization is allowed proceed. That did not sit well with Bonnie Goebert from

Bob Joyce, a PGA professional, was one of few who spoke in favor of the plan. He said although golfers are trained to “elevate” the ball, many do not, so there is a danger that passing motorists will get hit. Although club officials have continually harped on the increased traffic flow on Tuckahoe Road and how there is a threat of accidents and even fatalities, several speakers noted there hasn’t been any, at least according to police reports. Goebert, who is retiring after decades at the top perch of the Tuckahoe CAC and moving to Florida, was thanked by Schneiderman for her years on public service. She had one more parting shot to share: “Golf courses do not pay their fair share of taxes,” she exclaimed.

Shinnecock President Makes His Case By Rick Murphy
Barrett N. (Brett) Pickett, the President of the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, finally presented the Southampton Town Board with a formal proposal for the Club’s plan to privatize a portion of Tuckahoe Road that runs through the center of the course Thursday. Speaking from prepared statements, he urged the public to keep an open mind while the process unfolds and dangled an enticing carrot just to be sure -- $13 million. That would include the entire cost of rerouting Tuckahoe Road as it crosses CR39 by paving a new road to St. Andrews Road due east, and then another road running north where it will reconnect with Tuckahoe Road –almost a mile east from the clubhouse. The idea has been simmering for years, and intensified, at least among the club’s membership, as traffic increased on the road in recent years. Pickett pointed out the club has been around for 125 years. “We are residents and property owners of Southampton. Many of us are lifelong residents. Our soul is a family club and our children are everywhere at the club.” That’s the problem, Pickett continued. The increased traffic on Tuckahoe Road has made it unsafe not only for golfers but for the children who frequent the club grounds. The club’s membership is
aware the closure of the road will be an intrusion to some, Pickett said, but the members feel they make important contributions to the town and ask for relatively little in return. “We spend millions on goods and services and we bring in visitors,” he said. “We try very hard to be best neighbors. We are a significant employer.” Pickett also pointed out that a number of summer jobs are filled by local teenagers and that the club has a “substantial” scholarship fund. Pickett said originally Tuckahoe Road was “a dusty dirt trail for horse and buggies.” Unfortunately, “It is a very serious safety problem [now] and we’ve come to the town board for help.” No one at the meeting denied the fact that traffic on County Road 39, which Pickett called “maddening congestion,” has overflowed onto its feeder roads. Tuckahoe Road today is “a high volume shortcut” that’s become “a community safety issue,” he said. The solution, Pickett said, is a “simple workaround” – which is estimated to cost $6 million; the club will pay for the entire cost, it was stressed. Once traffic crosses Tuckahoe Road heading north, it will be diverted to a road that will run parallel to CR39 to St. Andrews Road about ¼ mile east. Yet another new road will be built through a wooded parcel owned by the

club north near the border of the Shinnecock and National golf courses. That road will eventually connect to Tuckahoe Road near Tuckahoe Lane and Sebonac Road – the diagram provided by the club does not identify exactly where. That will allow Shinnecock to claim almost a mile of the present road, which Pickett guessed, will eventually be closed, though there was some sentiment to leave it paved for emergency vehicles. Pickett said the town’s comprehensive plan calls for a very similar plan and an unopened road appears on the plan. In addition to paying the cost of the project, the Shinnecock Independent / Rick Murphy
Shinnecock Club officials will pay to carve out a new road at the south end of the children’s course headed east adjacent to the railroad tracks. Traffic at the dangerous CR39/Tuckahoe Road intersection will be rerouted.
Hills Golf Club is offering the town $6 million to be spent as the town board sees fit. The Ccub is offering the Tuckahoe School District $1 million; the district is in serious financial trouble since the town reassessed the substantially lowered the amount of property taxes paid by golf courses. The money, Pickett said, comes with “No strings attached.” He said the club does not have the money but members would raise it. Pickett said the club, “Has always been a good neighbor” and that the vista is present because Shinnecock didn’t put up trees and privet like many property owners do. Pickett’s father John once owned the New York Islanders but divested his majority share in 1992.

Senators Demand National Guard Address Contaminated Water By Rick Murphy
A number of drinking wells south of Gabreski Airport in Westhampton, where the 106th Air National Guard Rescue Wing is based, have tested positive for dangerous contaminants and U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, are placing the blame square on the ANG. But neither of the New York Senators was aware that local firefighters use the airbase for training and may have used PFOS and PFOA, the contaminants. They are used to make aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), a component of fire-fighting foams, and alcoholtype concentrate foams. Schumer and Gillebrand called on the Air National Guard to commit to fully funding the effort to test for and remediate any and all toxic PFOS-related pollution in and around the Gabreski Air National Guard Base. “Given that it is highly likely that operations at Gabreski are the source of the PFOS pollution, the ANG should make a clear pledge to shoulder investigation and cleanup costs, and to agree to fully compensate any homeowners and local businesses that are negatively impacted by PFOS pollution,” the senators said in a joint press release last week. “Suffolk County homeowners and municipalities should not be on the hook for even a drip of the costs of PFOS water contamination that resulted from Air National Guard operations at Gabreski,” Schumer said. But a spokeswoman at Schumer’s
office said the senator is apparently unaware that firefighters use the airport as a training facility and may have inadvertently contributed to the pollution. A spokeswoman for the 106 th said any decision about how to handle the cleanup would come from the highest level of the National Guard and not from the local unit. Lynn Kirby, a press relations person for the National Guard, did not respond to questions but said typically the National Guard would have no comment until any investigation is completed. A local firefighter said East Hampton, Bridgehampton, and other South Fork-based departments use a self-contained building at the airport for training. Foam is sometimes used – in fact, Class B foams are the only effective way to contain fires started by flammable liquids. Firefighters have used the facility for at least 10 years, one said on the condition of anonymity. The Suffolk County Health Department said perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid were first detected in monitoring wells on the airport grounds. SCDOH is in the process of testing over 100 private wells south of the airport and residents have been urged not to drink water from the wells until testing is complete. “Suffolk County homeowners rely on groundwater as their drinking water and we must take pollutants like PFOS seriously. The Air National Guard must pledge to fully compensate Suffolk County

and its homeowners to quickly and safely remediate this contamination if they are found to be the source of this pollution,” Gillibrand said. “We thank our U.S. senators for advocating for full funding from the Air National Guard to complete the investigation and cover the cleanup costs as well fund the connection
costs to public water for those residents affected,” said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone. “Our top priority is to get as many homes that rely on private wells connected to public water as soon as possible while the investigation of the site moves forward.” Gabreski is a county-owned airport.

According to a recent USA Today report 40 percent fewer people than anticipated by the government have signed on for ACA coverage in 2016. This is a troublesome trend; because a cornerstone of ObamaCare was that most everyone would sign on rather than pay a penalty for not buying a health plan. Many of those who have not signed on are young professionals, a particularly troubling trend, since they tend to be healthy. In other words, insurance companies make money off them, allowing them to cover older people who tend to get sick more, and still turn a profit. Because of the

The government provided over $2 billion for seed money to co-op startups that were supposed to provide completion to the giant health insurers and keep rates reasonable. But according to the New York Times, “Most of the insurance coops enrolled fewer people than they had predicted, and 22 of the 23 co-ops lost money last year.” Several, like Health Republic of New York State, have already gone out of business and it is apparent most of the rest will as well without a massive influx of capital. Rates which were supposed to stabilize, have risen sharply as the HMOs try to recoup losses suffered by adhering to ACA guidelines. In addition to raising premiums, deductibles are being raised and out-of-pocket costs are skyrocketing.

RICK’S SPACE The Clintons Come Home To The Hamptons Dateline August, 2017: Bill and Hillary Clinton enjoy the East End. In fact, the couple has made a point of spending a part of their every summer here. That’s why it’s great to have them back now that Hillary Clinton is President and we are pleased they’ve agreed to sit down for this exclusive interview! Rick: I’d like to welcome President Clinton back the Hamptons! Bill: Thank you! Hillary (in unison): Thank you! Bill: I think he was talking to me, honey. Hillary: He was talking to me, and I am no one’s honey. I am the Commander In Chief! Rick: As a journalist I believe the tradition is we address past presidents in the current tense, so it would be “Mr. President.” Bill: Thank you, Rick. I will always be Mr. President. My wife is Mrs. President. Hillary: I’m no Missus, Mister! Rick: Should I refer to you as Ms. President? Bill: No, Mr. President is fine. Hillary: He was talking to me. Rick: Do you plan on getting out to the beach? (Silence) Rick: You guys like to swim? Bill: Yes, I like to swim. Even the Secret Service guys enjoy cooling off. Hillary (To Rick): Did you just refer to me as “a guy?” Rick: Nnnnnnnn No, Madam President. Hillary: Are you saying I am a Madam? Rick: Nnnnnnn No Sir I mean, ummm, no, er . . . I mean Miss President! Hillary: I am not a Miss. I am a married woman. But I am not a Missus. I am a Ms. with a “z” sound at the end. Say it. Rick: Mzzzzzz! Hillary: Again! Rick: Mzzzzzz! Hillary: Louder! Rick: MZZZZZ! Hillary: Now write it on the blackboard 500 times . . . just kidding. You know, they say I have a great sense of humor. Bill: No one says that honey. Rick: As President what do you think will be the hardest decision
you’ll have to make today. Bill: Probably whether to go with the lobster or a good steak. Hillary: He was talking to me! Rick: Lady President, I mean, Mzzzz, what is the hardest decision you’ll have to make? Hillary: Probably whether to have the lobster or steak. Rick: What is it that draws you to The Hamptons every year? Hillary: I would say the sun, the people, but mostly the fundraisers. Bill: He was talking to me, weren’t you, Rick? Rick: Well actually I was . . . Bill: It’s OK, as men we have an unwritten bond. Maybe we can get out and play some golf together while I’m here. Rick: I’d like that, Mr. President! Hillary: I play golf, too! Bill: No you don’t. Hilary: Yes I do. Bill: No you don’t!
KAYAK
Hillary: I had a birdie once. Rick: I’d be honored to play with both of you. Hillary: I think they call that a ménage à trois. See, I know my golf terms. Bill: I’m going to pass. Hilary: That’s football, Bill. I’m up on all the guy stuff. After all, I am president to all Americans, just not missuses and madams and mizzeses and Lady Gaga. Rick: Where will you be staying? Bill: If we told you we’d have to kill you. Hillary: Yeah, between the two of us we have enough Secret Service guys to have a baseball game. Rick: That would be fun! The President could play first base.
August 10, 2016
B-7
Who’s on second? Hillary: The President! Bill: I thought you said I was on first! Hillary: You’ll be on third! Rick: Then the President can play second? Hillary: Then who is on first? Rick: Maybe playing baseball isn’t such a good idea after all. We could play football like the Kennedy’s always do! Bill: The President will be the quarterback . . . Feel free to email Rick at rmurphy@ indyeastend.com with comments, story ideas, and maybe you’ll win a brand new Camaro! (And maybe not.)

Compiled by Laura Field
Good Eggs In Cutchogue At the end of this past school year, Christine Tylee, the program and stewardship coordinator for the Group for the East End, organized a sign competition between Southold Elementary, C u t c h o g u e E l e m e n t a r y, G i r l Scout Troop 1971 and Peconic Community School for students to create signs about the birds that nest on North Fork beaches as part of the regional Good Egg program. The goal of the outreach program was to engage children in local conservation efforts, shorebird management in particular. The hope is that the signs will educate and encourage beach visitors to respect beach-nesting birds with cute and creative messages and drawings. Tylee chose the top 12 artists’ drawings, which were printed professionally. Last week she and a few of these students met at
Causeway Beach Park District in Cutchogue to hang them up. Through a contract with the Town of Southold, the Group has been managing and monitoring the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation’s designated beachnesting bird sites within the town. This stewardship role is important for the protection of critical habitat and nesting areas for Federal and State-designated endangered and threatened shorebird species. Throughout the nesting season, trained staff and volunteers observe and record the reproductive success and productivity of individual Piping Plover pairs and Least Tern colonies, as well as document the sightings of Roseate Terns and other migrating and nesting colonial water birds. The goal of the Be a Good Egg project is to help people learn
more about birds like Least Terns, Piping Plovers, and American Oystercatchers that nest and rest on the beaches of New York and New Jersey every spring and summer. From April through August, thousands of birds nest on the bare sand on many of New York and New Jersey’s beaches and inlets. These hardy little birds are threatened by predators, extreme weather conditions, and humans. When a person or dog walks through a nesting area, the adults run or fly off in fear. During the nesting season, this exposes the eggs or chicks to fatally high temperatures and drastically increases the risk of predation.

In the spring and fall, many other shorebirds migrate through New York and New Jersey on journeys that can be as long as 9000 miles, stopping on our beaches to rest and refuel. The New York City Audubon Society, Audubon New York, and the New Jersey Audubon Society are reaching out to people and asking them to make a pledge to “be a good egg” and share the beach with birds. As part of this project, volunteers, like Tylee’s young artists are reaching out to people at beaches where Audubon is working with the local community to protect hundreds of nesting and migrating birds.

Then And Now By Laura Field
The Amagansett Live Saving and Coast Guard Station was built in 1902, and was one of many life saving stations that littered the coast of the East End. The building was left abandoned until 1966, turned into a home, and then generously donated back to East Hampton Town for restoration. In 2011, the Restoration Committee raised funds to have a historic structure report done, and restoration began in 2012. Every week The Independent
showcases Then And Now photos to show the progress of the restoration, which is nearing completion. This week, the photos above show the boat room during reconstruction and men waiting outside the boat room in the early 1900’s. The boat room housed life saving vessels that would be wheeled out in the case of a ship wreck. The Life Saving and Coast Guard Station had life boats, flotation devices, and life vest to help sailors who came to trouble out at sea.

Positive For West Nile
Suffolk County Health Services Commissioner James L. Tomarken announced this week that nineteen mosquito samples have tested positive for West Nile virus across the county, including on the North Fork. The samples, all Culex pipiens-restuans, were collected last month from Aquebogue and other locations. West Nile virus, first detected in birds and mosquitoes in Suffolk County in 1999 and again each year thereafter, is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. No humans or horses have tested positive for West Nile virus in Suffolk this year. A total of four birds have tested positive this year. “The confirmation of West Nile virus in mosquito samples or birds indicates the presence of West Nile virus in the area,” said Dr. Tomarken. “While there is no cause for alarm, we advise residents to cooperate with us in our efforts to reduce the exposure to the virus, which can be debilitating to humans.” According to Dr. Tomarken, most people infected with West Nile virus will experience mild or no symptoms, but some can develop severe symptoms including high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. The symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent. Individuals, especially those 50 years of age or older, or those with compromised immune systems, who are most at risk, are urged to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. To avoid mosquito bites, residents are advised to: • Minimize outdoor activities between dusk and dawn. • Wear shoes and socks, long pants and long-sleeved shirts when mosquitoes are active. • Use mosquito repellent, following label directions carefully. • Make sure all windows and doors have screens, and that all screens are in good repair. • Keep mosquitoes from laying eggs inside and outside of your home. Once a week, empty and scrub, turn over, cover, or throw out containers that hold water, such as vases, pet water bowls, flowerpot saucers, discarded tires, buckets, pool covers, birdbaths, trash cans and rain barrels.

Insight
Research reported this week reveals that people who read books live an average of two years longer than those who don’t. We can’t think of a better reason to support our local libraries and bookstores (and newspapers, too). And what better way to show support for libraries this weekend than to head over to East Hampton Library’s annual Authors Night? In this week’s Indy, Nicole Teitler’s got all you need to know about the wildly popular event, now in its 12th year. And in furtherance of the love of reading, Jessica Mackin’s got all the latest chances to meet famed authors at book signings, readings, and panel discussions in our Arts & Entertainment section. Jess also features a staggering array of photographs from the staggering array of charity events held this summer. Summer party season is hitting its climax, and for those of us who aren’t hitting the circuit, it can mean more work, more traffic, and more stress. Fear not, this week we offer a plethora of strategies designed to help you learn how to chillax: • Spend time in a garden – Jess plus our guest columnist and impassioned gardener Shelly Tashman entice readers to visit luxurious Hamptons gardens or stay home and tend to your blossoming flowers. • Take a breather – This week Indy’s intrepid editorial intern Laura Field visits the Kadampa Meditation Center in Sag Harbor to get the lowdown on lowering stress levels, plus we’ve got the news about the annual meteor shower that’s just begging tense Hamptonites to lie back, look up, and say “ahhhhh.” • Work it out – The indefatigable Ms. Mackin tells us all about spin classes, held at Flywheel in East Hampton. Nobody can ever accuse her of not putting sweat into her job. And, above all, as Shelly reminds us, this week in our beautiful community don’t forget to pause often and look around.

Only A Fool What happened to you Jerry? I grew up at the same time you did in NYC, and
I remember the young from immigrant families (most of us) from all ethnic backgrounds signing up for military duty after December 7th 1942. There was a feeling of country then that does not seem to exist today. You would need to utilize your entire newspaper to highlight the many young brave men and women from all ethnicities that gave their lives in the 1940’s for our country.

Yes, he has made inappropriate comments on things, but what politician hasn’t! Hillary will destroy the middle class but, you don’t care, you’re not one of us! You and your rich friends don’t have a [f******] clue! Here’s one of the main facts for you: If you have any doubts about Muslim immigration, this might clear up your thinking. This “furniture shipment” was supposed to go to the refugee camps in GREECE to make their life more bearable and ease their hardships. 52 tons of guns and ammunition in big 40’ double containers followed the migrants to Europe, pretending to be furniture but, was discovered by the Greek border securities in 14 containers. If this doesn’t convince you that this IMMIGRATION is nothing less than an ARMED INVASION then nothing will. Wonder still why all those young (military age) men without children or wives are taking on the task of traveling all those miles posing as refugees?

Some people live for “things” but in my family we live to make memories. And we’ve got lots in our bank of memories. Alan Brown I am an Ant to my wife’s Grasshopper. But mostly I’m an Ant when it comes to financial matters and saving for retirement. Other than that I’m sort of happy-go-lucky guy. I guess I’m really kind of a hybrid.

My dear Jerry ... As a U.S. Army Vietnam vet; your friend; and colleague, I want to thank and salute you for this column. I know you’re a Republican while I’m a DEM, and I know coming around to voting for Clinton wasn’t easy for you. But I’m very proud of you for your courage and integrity in defending our troops. I wouldn’t piss on Trump, much less salute him as Commander-in-Chief. BILL CRANDALL
Short Circuit To the Editor, Like the candidate he now claims
to support usually circumspect and coherent Jerry Della Femina seems to have experienced his own “short-circuit.” Jerry, are you really trying to tell us that Donald Trunp’s occasional gaffes, vulgar outbursts, and childish tweets are in any way as disqualifying as Hillary’s innumerable lies, frauds, illegalities, attacks on women her husband molested, and her proven record of gross incompetence? Please, Jerry, hit the circuit breaker. We’re not asking you to attend cocktail parties with Trump or have dinner with him. We need you to do what’s right for the country -- on economics, on terrorism, on national defense, on securing the border, and, yes, on character in the Oval Office -- support Trump. At least we know The Donald won’t need to steal the White House furniture when he leaves. REG CORNELIA

Save Money On College Textbook$ The tuition cost was haunting. The dorm bill was daunting. The laptop your favorite college freshman just had to have cost more than your first car. Now all she has left to do is hit the college bookstore with her list of required textbooks. Don’t be surprised if she comes out crying. A recent study by the United States Government Accountability Office showed that the average prices for textbooks have risen 82 percent in just 10 years. Many expected that internet access would help bring costs down, but the college textbook industry appears to be keeping students from saving money by using such tactics as college specific books, book bundling, and eTextbooks, all of which raise prices. Luckily there is something you can do about it. You just need to do a little homework before classes start. “There are many ways you can save when buying textbooks that the college textbook industry doesn’t want you to know about,” says Chris Manns of the price comparison websites CheapestTextbooks.com and TextbookRentals.com. Both free services help students locate the cheapest prices for millions of books. Here’s his list of the ways the college textbook industry gets you to pay more, and some tips for paying less: • College Specific Books: Colleges have started asking students to buy college specific books. They take a commonly used textbook and have it printed with the college name and course number on the cover. This gives
Shelter Tails
the book a new ISBN (International Standard Book Number) that is typically only available at the college it was made for. The workaround: Ask the professor if it’s OK to use the book’s common version. “The common version will be available online and, in almost all cases, be much cheaper and apart from the cover, it’ll be the exact same. When you rent or buy it online, you’ll be able to rent or buy it used from anybody,” Manns says. • Book Bundling: Students are sometimes required to buy a “book bundle” with extra class materials that add to the cost. “These bundles often include items the professors aren’t even using,” Manns says. The workaround: Email the
professor or wait until the class starts and ask if the professor will be using the supplemental material. “If the answer is no, then buy just the textbook online,” Manns says. • New Editions: “This problem has been around a long time,” Manns says. Publishers release new versions of books every few years, even though little changes. Usually, buying an older edition gives you the information you need. Older editions often cost less than $25. • eTextbooks: eTextbooks are usually more expensive than buying a book used or renting it, and they typically expire after six months or a year. The workaround: Shop around. Most eTextbooks are available from multiple sellers. If you have the
August 10, 2016
option, go old school and buy the hard cover or paperback, which will typically be much cheaper. “That way you can keep it if you want, or you can sell it later,” he says. • Timing: Sometimes students don’t learn what textbooks they need until a couple of weeks before classes start, giving them little time to shop around. The workaround: Don’t worry too much about getting your books before classes start. If you don’t mind a little inconvenience, then wait until you’re a couple of days into the school year before buying. “The professor might even tell you that you don’t need the book,” Manns says. If it’s required, you can shop online and still have the book within a couple of days. Chris Manns has been in the business of helping students find the cheapest prices for their textbooks since 2001.

GARDEN Early August
By Shelly Tashman
A challenging time. All that great color from July is now wilting, browning and sagging. The color scheme goes from vivid to muted as the month passes. The angle of the sunlight as we approach autumn becomes pronounced and enhances the entire garden. Hydrangea blossoms that don’t brown out become beautiful -semi-dried and softer hued. The hydrangea foliage also changes to
multi-darker attractive colors. I hear that this summer the hydrangeas are not blooming well and that they are wilting. I asked my new garden guru, Bob Strubel, at Bayberry. Bob says that the lack of flowers is due to the warm March followed by a cold April. Buds were fooled into coming early and stunted by the chilly April. The wilting is a separate situation. The plant is either too
Go Organic
Many people are making a concerted effort to have a fully organic garden this summer. If you are like the majority of gardeners who try their very best, but could use a little help, stop by Marders on Sunday at 10 AM for a lecture on Organic Gardening Techniques, with or without a compost pile. Compost heaps are usually piles of organic garden and kitchen refuse that when composted makes great fertilizer for plants. Compost piles are extremely easy to make (not so easy on the eyes all the time) and are beneficial for your wallet and the earth. Since you are using organic left overs, it doesn’t cost anything out of pocket, and is a great way to recycle. Marders offers gardening lectures most Sunday mornings. It is located at 120 Snake Hollow Rd. in Bridgehampton, and for more information call them at 631-702-2306. L.F.

dry or suffering from heat stress. If it is too dry, remember to water from the bottom as the irrigation system leaves water beads on the leaves and they act as a prism burning the foliage. Spirea will have a less intense second yellow and red bloom. Ilex has a small red bead showing quietly through the dark leaves. Day Lillies. I spend a lot of time cutting back the day lilies foliage. The underside is brown and I cut or pull it away. Pull too hard and the plant comes out, but with a little practice the right amount of pull will become routine. I also cut the green upper fronds shorter so the plant doesn’t flop on the ground. I have already snipped the seed stalks. If there is unsightly space, then I add a fern or a coleus plant. Rose of Sharon are beginning. The purple blooms add to the background of color while the larger white flowers stand out. Ligularia. This plant has deep green or brown foliage, thrives in shady areas and in August has strong yellow stalk-like blooms. It is in the sunflower family but I do not see any resemblance.

It offers both softness and a dash of yellow. Hostas. Many stalks have finished flowering and are going to seed. I used to keep the seed pods but now prefer just the plant. I cut the bottom leaves all around the plant off so it looks strong rather then dying down. This is “on your knees” hard work and can be skipped unless you are a diehard. The early August challenge is to keep the garden crisp as long as possible. Roses. My bushes are yellowing and scraggly despite my attention all July. I am now ruthless in my trimming and clearing away yellow debris. This is the time that the nurseries are putting a lot of annuals on sale. I am fond of coleus. If you are buying a bunch on sale offer a lower number for the entire haul. These colorful yet muted plants can fill gaps or add fullness to keep the garden vibrant. No matter what, stop and look around.
Shows, Classes For Kids At Bay Street Theatre
August is for kids at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor! With numerous ongoing shows and theater camps, there is something for every kid to enjoy.

SPORT S Aviators Edge Stubborn Mustangs For HCBL Title INDEPENDENT
By Rick Murphy
The Westhampton Aviators won the 2016 Hamptons Baseball League Championship by defeating Montauk in the third and final game of the series. It was a fitting victor y for Westhampton, which was in first place for almost the entire season and set a single-season record for wins. It was also fitting the Mustangs took it down to the wire – Montauk proved its resilience over and over during the season and stormed into the final series by knocking off the North Fork. Westhampton took some of the drama out of Sunday’s finale, scoring four first inning runs and opening an 8-1 lead. The Mustangs struck first when Jamie Galazin swatted the second pitch he saw over the fence. As it turned out it was the only run Reiss Knehr, the Aviator’s ace, would allow in the game. In the bottom of the first Roman
Biasa worked Joe Broderick for a walk. Daniel Franchi and Matt Dunlevy followed with a single to load the bases. Broderick bore down, whiffing Ross Puskarich and Aaron Ping, two of the league’s most dangerous hitters. But Jacob Jaye reached base courtesy of an error by Rob Vani and two runs scored. Trey Silvers sliced a single that delivered two more runners. Westhampton added solo runs in the fourth and fifth on fielder’s choice and an error and then tallied two more in the sixth, both unearned due to yet another error. Knehr was magnificent, going seven strong allowing four hits and two walks while striking out seven. The final was 8-2, and the Aviators giddily celebrated their third HCBL title, more than any other franchise. Facing elimination Friday, Montauk played tough in front of a home crowd and prevailed 7-4. Vani went two for four with a homer, three runs scored, and two ribbies.

The Westhampton Aviators won their third HCBL title by besting Montauk in a best of three series.
Phil Capra had a monster afternoon, lacing three hits in four tries while bashing two homers good for four ribbies. Zach Barnes earned the victory by going six innings giving up two earned runs and four hits while striking out four. Puskarich homered for the losers. Westhampton, playing at home,

won Thursday’s opener 5-2. The Aviators were nursing a 2-0 lead going into the sixth when Dunlevy led off with a homer. After Jaye reached base on yet another Mustangs’ miscue, Jaye ripped a two run blast to make it a 5-0 affair. That was plenty of support for Seamus Brazil, who was dealing. He went seven innings and gave up only two hits and one run, Vani’s dinger in the seventh. Jaye, the Aviator’s shortstop, finished the series with 4 RBI and a stolen base and was named MVP of the championship series. Jaye made some outstanding defensive plays in the series including turning a pair of double plays during Game 3. “It’s been awesome; it means the world to bring a championship to everyone in Westhampton,” Jaye said following the win.

Olympians Among Competitors At The Hampton Classic By Miles X. Logan
Tw o O l y m p i c d o u b l e - g o l d medalists, McLain Ward and Beezie Madden, will be among a blue-chip group of riders competing in this year’s Hampton Classic. Ward and Madden are competing at the Olympics this week. A bevy of top names in the sport of international show jumping including Olympic, World and Pan American Games medalists, have confirmed their entries for the 2016 Hampton Classic Horse Show, which will begin August 28 and run through September 4 at the regular venue in Bridgehampton. This year’s event will feature a star-studded lineup of names in the Classic’s Open Jumper classes, including four FEI-recognized classes, which culminates in the thrilling $300,000 Hampton Classic Grand Prix. In addition to his numerous Grand Prix wins around the globe, Ward clinched his first-ever Individual Gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Games along with a Team Bronze medal. He has won the Hampton Classic Grand Prix a record six times. Madden, who has been named the USEF Equestrian of the Year four times, also won an individual Bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games, Individual Silver and Team Bronze medals at the FEI World Equestrian Games in 2006 and 2014, and she was the FEI World Cup Champion in 2013. In addition to her plethora of Grand Prix victories and participation on numerous gold medal-winning FEI Nations Cup teams, Madden became the only woman rider to ever win the prestigious Longines King George V Gold Cup in Hickstead, England in its 109-year history, a victory she scored consecutively in 2014 and 2015. Also entered is fellow U.S. Olympic veteran Margie Engle, one

of the most accomplished riders in U.S. history. Todd Minikus, who took second place in the $250,000 Hampton Classic Grand Prix in 2015, has won several Grand Prix competitions already this year, including the $216,000 Tryon Estates Grand Prix at the end of July. In addition to their individual successes, both Engle and Minikus were part of the silver-medal winning U.S. team in the FEI Nations Cup in La Baule, France. Ireland’s Kevin Babington, winner of the Hampton Classic Grand Prix in 2014, will be seeking to reclaim his title after a streak of successes on the circuit this year, having most recently won the $75,000 Devoucoux Grand
Prix of Lake Placid in July. Fellow Irishman Shane Sweetnam, will be heading to Long Island after a successful summer of competition in Europe, which included several top-ten placings along with two recent victories at the Dublin International Horse Show. Paul O’Shea, winner of the $40,000 Longines Cup at last year’s Classic, will also be competing this year and will be stiff competition for his countrymen. American rider Richie Moloney, who won the Classic’s $30,000 Rider Challenge in 2013 and 2014, has also entered, as have crowd favorites Jessica Springsteen, winner of the 2014 $200,000 American Gold Cup, along with Georgina Bloomberg, Ward’s teammate on the U.S.

FANTASY SP By Skippy Brown
Being A Contrarian
So far this year we’ve pointed out how the really great Fantasy players – those that win the big money – often zig while the other players zag. They are contrarians: they correctly assume most of us, armed with the same information, are likely to have similar lineups. Correctly identifying a player who emerges from nowhere to have a big game is one of the secrets
RTS
of winning big. So what would happen if we did the unthinkable, that is, pick a tight end in the first round? A few years back it would have been unheard of. That’s because although tight ends are receivers, they have two other important functions on the football field: to protect the quarterback and to block for running backs -- neither

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
of those skills are measured in Fantasy Football. But there has never been a tight end quite like Ron Gronkowski. He hasn’t been drafted in the first round very often, but it happened a few times last season. This year, because his quarterback, Tom Brady, is suspended for the first four games of the season, Gronk has been slipping in the draft. The Gronk might be worthy of a first round pick using one sabermetric model, Value Against Replacement. In 2014 he averaged 12.3 fantasy points per game in a standard scoring format – almost three points more than Antonio Gates, who finished second.

IN THE NEWS
That’s almost 25 percent. Using a VAR (Value Against Replacement) it gets better – he was four points better than the fourth ranked. He was six or seven points better than a lot of tight ends. That means that if you have the Gronk you are starting every week with a fantasy lead, at least on paper. The discrepancy is enormous. Consider that statistically the top six running backs in the league are for our purposes interchangeable; ditto the quarterbacks and the wide receivers. Last year the difference in VAR among tight ends was nearly as great, but 105 might prove to be a statistical anomaly: four different receivers had more than 1000 yards receiving, topped by Gronk’s 1176. Gronk also scored 11 touchdowns and missed a game. In addition he played hurt in several others during which he was used more as a decoy than anything else. I tried out my strategy in a Mock Draft over the weekend. I had the 11th pick in the first round and I took Gronk. In the second round I took the top wide receiver available, Allan Robinson. By the time my third pick rolled around the running backs were depleted, so I took the best available player: DeMaryius Thomas, the Denver WR who was a first round pick last year – when Denver had Peyton Manning. I took Jonathan Stewart, the Carolina RB, in the fourth round. Playing for one of the NFL’s best teams he figures to get a lot of carries – but he is injury prone, which is why he fell in the draft. In the fifth round I went for value again — Doug Baldwin, WR. At this point I’m at the crossroads – I need another starting RB, and there are mostly mediocre options. Last year, when Le’Veon Bell was suspended, DeAngelo Williams, his replacement, was terrific. This year, Bell reportedly missed a drug test and faces another four-game suspension. I took Williams, which gives me a top RB for at least the first month of the season, and allows me to do two things: 1) search for another RB on the waiver wire during the season and/or 2) take some flyers on rookie RBs late in the draft and hope one or two emerge. I took my quarterback, Matt Ryan, in the 10th round. Did the Gronk strategy work? Well, you never know until they play the games. But right now I have two very productive running backs, a reliable fantasy QB, three capable wide receivers, all of whom have flashed first round talent, and the best tight end in the history of the NFL.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard
Hunkering Down: Hurricanes With Hurricane Earl wreaking damage in the Caribbean and Mexico, it is a grim reminder that we are not immune. Almost without exception, we get the tail, shoulder or rump of one or two of the dozen or so hurricanes that form up in the Atlantic between the Caribbean and Africa and bring so much destruction and misery with them as they thunder west and north. Hurricane season still has time to run, and we live on an island. This column is about that.
Tidal Surges For islanders, as bad as the winds will be, it is the tides and tidal surges that will do most of the damage, which is why even these tails that go by every year leave so much trouble behind. The storm tide is added to the astronomical tides. And when those waves hit something solid, they generate force dozens of times more powerful than wind of the same speed. Andrew generated a storm tide of 17 feet. Camille in 1969? 24 feet. And of course, there was Sandy who just sat there, at high tide, during a full moon. Add to that the population growth in our area and the increase in the value of homes and it can spell either “an absolute disaster” or “they were prepared.” What Is It? A hurricane is, in the words of scientists, an organized rotating weather system that develops in the tropics. Technically, it is a “tropical cyclone” and it is classified as one of three states, with hurricanes being further classified into levels of destruction.
A Tropical Depression has sustained winds of 38 mph (33 knots) or less. A Tropical Storm has sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph (34-63 knots), and a Hurricane has sustained winds of 74 mph (64 knots) or greater. Hurricanes are called typhoons in the western Pacific and cyclones in the Indian Ocean.
Categories Of Hurricanes We’ve all heard the weather reporter state that “Hurricane ‘x’ is now a Category 3 hurricane and headed for ________.” What does that mean? A Category 1 Hurricane, like Irene (1999) and Sandy(2012) has winds ranging from 74 to 95 mph. Anything not tied down is going to be lost. Floyd (1999) and Georges (1998) were Category 2 Hurricanes. Winds range from 96 to 110 mph. Trees will go down, roofs are in trouble. Betsy(1965) and Alicia (1983) were Category 3 Hurricanes, with windspeeds of 111 to 130 miles per hour. In a Category 3 Hurricane, many trees will go down, along with small building. Hugo in 1989 was a Category 4 Hurricane, marked by speeds of 131 to 155 mph, and the complete destruction of many structures. Category 5? That’s the “Wrath of God” with winds of 156 mph and higher. Andrew in 1992 and Katrina in 2005 were Category 5 Hurricanes. USCG hurricane aircraft reported Andrew and Katrina had generated winds over 200 mph at various times of the storms. Are You Ready? Look, if a Category 4 or -5 gets up here like in 1938, there are

no levels of preparedness except evacuation. A storm surge like Camille’s basically means that everything “south of the highway,” as real estate agents like to classify the choicest properties on Long Island, is gone. But what if the glancing blow like Ivan’s in 2004 or, Earl, who came by earlier in 2012, came in head-on? How can you be ready? Before the Storm Arrives: 1. Have a family action plan – if you’re at caught at school or at work, who do you call? To grandmother’s house we go? 2. Flashlights working? Canned goods and water supplies? Cash? Portable radio? 3. Wher e ARE yo u go ing to move the boat? Don’t even THINK about staying on her. 4. How about your prescription medicines? A first-aid kit is WHERE? During the Storm 1. Have the radio or TV on. If power goes out and you don’t have a portable radio, I’d get the kids in the car and “to grandmother’s house we go.” 2. Propane tanks on your property? Shut them off, completely. 3. Turn the refrigerator up all the way and don’t open the door idly. 4. Fill the bathtub with water. How about the big spaghetti pot?
August 10, 2016
37
Anything that can hold water and keep it clean. 5. If ordered to evacuate, do so. Immediately. And tell someone where you are going. 6. When evacuating, don’t drive across flowing water. Two feet of flowing water can carry your car away. Yes. Only two feet of moving water. Turn around and go another way. If there is no other way, call 911 or the US Coast Guard. After the Storm 1. If you’ve been ordered to evacuate, don’t go back until the area is declared safe. 2. If you see someone who needs rescuing, unless the threat of loss of life is imminent, call 911. 3. See standing water? Do you know if any power cables lie in it? 4. Never use candles and other open flames indoors. Keep the flashlight at your side. This is by no means an exhaustive list. But Earl just sent us a wakeup call. BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources Department, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing.”

Fantasy Players Question Hold Up By Rick Murphy
Local football fans breathed a sigh of relief last Wednesday when New York Governor Mario Cuomo finally signed a bill formally legalizing Daily Fantasy Sports in the state. A ban instituted by State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman outlawed DFS playing in March.
But the legislature pounded out an agreement with Draft Kings and Fan Duel, the two biggest DFS providers, to pave the way for a start-up, in June. The DFS sites reportedly agreed to pay a licensing fee based on gross revenue and to refrain from offering contests based on college sports. Operators will also pay a portion

of their taxed revenue, reportedly 15 percent. The bill has been waiting for the Governor’s signature ever since. “It is a tremendous day for the industry and one that we hope to build on in the months ahead,” said Jeremy Kudon, a lobbyist for Draft Kings, FanDuel and the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. The industry is fending off a national trend to outlaw DFS, spearheaded by the casino industry,
which sees DFS as a threat to more conventional legal gambling facilities. The law creates the Fantasy Sports Contests Division within the Financial Frauds And Consumer Protection Unit to promulgate regulations and license operators. The DFS sites have to register and receive a license in order to operate in the state. As of press time none have been cleared to do so but they are expected to start-up within days.
