MURDER HE SAID I’m in Italy on vacation. Hopefully I’m in better shape than I was when I wrote this column six years ago — the last time I was in Italy.

I should have been suspicious from the start.

My wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, had spent eight days in Italy covering Full Frontal Fashion in Milan with all those handsome, superficial men and all those thin, beautiful, superficial women who worship clothes.

I would call her almost every day complaining about my asthma.

“Judy, the air is so thick in New York I’m having trouble breathing,” I would whine.

“That’s too bad,” she would say and change the subject.

“Judy, I can’t walk 50 feet without getting out of breath.”

“Oh,” she would say and change the subject.

Then, out of nowhere, practically without any notice, she called and said, “I’m sending you a ticket to meet me in Sicily for the weekend.

It’s my surprise birthday present to you.”

Now, if the plot had succeeded, someday on “Dateline NBC” that annoying putz reporter with the terrible unctuous voice would have

Celebrating 100 Years of American Modernism 1913 to 2013 Milton Avery Charles Burchfield John Graham Man Ray Marsden Hartley George Bellows Oscar Bluemner Arthur Dove 631 324 3303 www.veredart.com

told the story this way: “Judy Licht, in her plot to kill her husband, took advantage of the fact that Jerry was so feeble and stupid, he didn’t realize that the surprise birthday present was coming almost three months after his birthday.”

“Judy, I don’t think I can fly for 12 hours to Sicily on a plane. I am having trouble breathing.”

“Sure you can. I will be waiting for you at Catania Airport on Saturday.”

On Friday afternoon, thanks to my wonderful allergist Dr. Rosalinda Rubinstein and her heroic efforts to get me ready for my trip, armed with a portable nebulizer and five Xopenex inhalers and enough steroids to give Alex Rodriguez a whole new career, I stumbled on board my Delta flight to Rome, where I would connect to an Alitalia flight to Catania.

I had only one thought on my mind: Would I live through the flight?

Delta is perhaps the only airline in the world where a chubby 65-year-old woman with an anger management problem can be employed as a flight attendant.

The food on the flight was the same food I imagine they serve on Rikers Island.

Thanks to the miracle of vodka and Ambien I managed to fall asleep for about four hours of the flight. The man sitting next to me didn’t sleep because from the minute I took out my nebulizer and

started sucking on the mist it was spewing he was convinced I was a terrorist planning to bring down the whole plane.

Do you have any idea how wretched it is to wake up on a plane and realize you have three more hours of flying time and you are gasping for breath?

When the plane landed I barely made it to the baggage area, which is situated a mile from the terminal. My luggage was the last to come down.

Then, naturally, the Alitalia plane to Catania, Sicily was in another terminal, which was another mile away. Now pushing luggage, gasping for breath, I realized that my cell phone was running low and I had left my itinerary on the Delta plane. Of course I had forgotten the name of the town in Sicily where we were going. “ I t s t a r t s w i t h a ‘t . ’ I t ’ s ‘tiramisu’,” I thought. “No, that an icky sweet Italian dessert. The name is ‘Tasmania.’ No.” Then it became clear that with a dead cell phone and no idea where I was going, I would spend the weekend at some Sicilian airport gasping for breath.

I arrived at the Alitalia terminal with just a few minutes to spare.

The good news was my cell phone was dead but I was still alive – barely. So now I was sick, confused and had no way to contact Judy. The only consolation was that Alitalia has better-looking flight attendants than Delta.

The Alitalia flight was a disaster because all Alitalia planes are built for Italians who are 5-foot-2 or shorter. Every time I stood up I would crack the top of my skull on the overhead compartment, which is just 5-foot-2 inches from the floor. There is no way you can avoid it – you stand up from your seat and, crack!, the next thing you’re holding is your head. I was the only American on the plane and I would mutter “son-of-a-bitch” every time I hit my head.

It wasn’t just me. Every time anyone got up you would hear the sound of a skull being hit, followed by the Italian word “Fongol!” It was like watching a Three Stooges comedy, where every head gets whacked.

When I stood up to get my luggage from the compartment it was a double header. First I hit the top of my head, and then I smashed my forehead on the protruding compartment.

I got to the airport lobby and there was Judy, smiling. I stumbled into the car that was waiting for us and fell sound asleep until we got to our hotel in the town of

IN THE NEWS

Taormina.

The hotel reminded me of the hotel in “The Shining.” Redrum.

Redrum.

Now here is when I began to figure out that Judy was trying to kill me.

There isn’t a square inch of Sicily that is level. All of Sicily is uphill. If you have asthma, Sicily is a death sentence.

Now my paranoia set in. I was sure Judy met and fell in love with a guy in Milan named Fabio – they’re all called Fabio in Milan.

I’ll bet he has a full head of hair.

I’ll bet he hatched this sinister plot.

Sure enough, Judy insisted that first day that we walk to the ruins of a Greek theater, which was a mile from the hotel. It was like the Bataan death march for me. At one point Judy looked at me and said, “You look a little pale.” “Cannn’t caaatch myyy breeathhh,” I gasped.

There were high points. Like the restaurant where Judy wanted to know what was the filling in the raviolis and the waitress said colt. “Colt?” asked Judy. “Yes,” said the woman. “Cavalla?” I asked.

“Cavalla,” said the woman. “Sea horse?” Judy asked desperately.

“No, horse, horse,” said the woman, and then she made a whinnying sound.

So if you are wondering what happens to the horses that lost in the Hamptons Classic, I can report they are happily living in raviolis in Taormina, Sicily.

Another high point was Judy, who speaks fluent Italian, talking to the people at another table in a small restaurant outside of Mount Etna.

The people just shrugged their shoulders to indicate they didn’t understand a word she was saying.

Then they talked to each other.

“My mistake,” Judy whispered to me. “They are Israelis.”

Little by little I recovered and walked on the rim of the volcano on Mount Etna, but I made sure Judy wasn’t behind me.

Then, on the last day we were in Sicily, Judy got sick. She actually turned green and couldn’t stop throwing up. Then came what I would like to think was her neardeathbed confession. “Oh, I feel so so sick. It was a mistake to have you come all this way with asthma.

I’m sorry I dragged you here.”

I couldn’t resist.

“In that case, I’m sorry I just poisoned you,” I said.

She started to laugh but wound up rushing to the bathroom to throw up again.

Seek Volleyball Block

By Kitty Merrill

With hints at gambling, admission charges, drinking and running commercial enterprises in residential homes, residents from the Harbor Boulevard area in Springs appeared before the East Hampton Town Board last Thursday night, seeking relief from what they believe is a neighborhood blight – volleyball games.

The games draw more than 50 people per outing and, according to Silvia Rea, whose property is adjacent to one site, run three days a week “every single weekend year round.” With the number of cars on the small roadway, as many as 30, Rea said, “I can’t get out of my street.” She can’t sit on her back deck or enjoy her pool and has spent thousands planting trees to block the intrusion, which has been going on for the past three years.

Connie Kenney lives several doors away from the volleyball house.

“Local residents have been suffering for years,” she said. Admission charged, beer and food sales are all issues that cry out for code enforcement, she said. The list of people who are protesting the activity “is growing daily,” Kenney said.

On Thursday night, Councilwoman Theresa Quigley opined the activities mentioned, “are in complete violation of the code.”

H o w e v e r, p o l i c e a n d c o d e enforcement officers inspected the house following a noise complaint on Saturday and, according to town Director of Ordinance Enforcement Betsy Bambrick, there were just 25 people on the property, where 50 is the threshold triggering the need for a mass gathering permit. All cars were contained on site, and the home itself is incompliance.

“The inside looks good,” she said, emphasizing there was no sign the kitchen was used for anything other than basic family meals. No violations were issued.

Bambrick reported that there are several other properties in Springs where owners have received volleyball-related notices of violation. Often they stem from erecting nets and attempting to make them permanent structures.

As a structure, the nets must adhere to setback requirements. Volleyball hosts can get around that particular code transgression by simply taking the nets down after matches.

A lot of the games are not illegal, Public Safety Division Administrator Pat Gunn said Monday. With the exception of issues relating to a public

health hazard, the code enforcement department doesn’t have the power to shut violating activities down immediately. “We have a process to go through,“ he explained.

Officials have not been able to establish proof that proprietors of the games are operating illegal for-profit businesses in residential zones. To make a case of gambling or admission fees, enforcers would need someone who attended them willing to go on record as having paid.

More complaints about the Harbor Blvd/Gardiners Lane/President Street area were brought to the town board by John Camillo, who lives on

www.indyeastend.com

Delavan Street. He listed a slew of commercial vehicles that have been parked on residential property in the neighborhood, as well as other symptoms of a neighborhood on the decline due to code violations.

Although she could not detail specifics, Bambrick said there are pending charges against one of the properties mentioned.

Complaints of allegedly illegal volleyball tournaments in East Hampton first arose back in 2000.

Neighbors, also in Springs, lamented activity that shattered the quiet enjoyment of their homes.

At the same time, other community members complained about the lack of adequate recreational facilities in town.

Then-supervisor Jay Schneiderman attempted to address both problems by creating new volleyball sites at a

local park. At least one of the houses was taken to Justice Court and over time ceased to operate.

In 2003 then-councilwoman D i a n a We i r d e b u t e d h e r “Neighborhood Preser vation” legislation. Designed to address a variety of quality of life complaints, the law prohibited homeowners from hosting more than three outdoor gatherings of over 25 people per month. For more than three such events, the host would have to pursue approval from the town board.

At the time, the law required permits for any gatherings comprised of over 100 people.

Weir’s law was not passed as initially proposed, and the current code sets 50 people as the trigger for requiring a permit. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Independent Election Coverage

IN THE NEWS

7 weeks to go!

Candidates Promise Housing Reform

By Kitty Merrill

Quality of life issues in Springs, especially those to do with overcrowded housing, are a focus for candidates on the stump this election season. This week those running on the Democratic line for town board -- Larry Cantwell (supervisor) and Job Potter and Kathee Burke-Gonzalez (town council) -- sent a mailing to residents of the hamlet outlining an eightpoint plan to relieve overcrowding in Springs.

The points listed include creating an interagency working group

comprised of representatives from the police department, code enforcement, fire marshal’s office, building department and town attorney’s office to focus on residential code violations, reorganizing the town building department and appointing a chief building inspector, and hiring a new code enforcement officer with investigative skills who would specialize in residential zoning.

The candidates say they would also amend the town code to require that allowable bedrooms and bathrooms be listed on the Certificate of Occupancy, define the

number of cars and number and size of commercial trucks permitted on residential property, and increase the fines for zoning violations to the limit permitted by state law. Finally, they would engage a fully-staffed legal department that provides sound, independent guidance and use Community Preservation Fund money to buy up small, vacant lots to reduce density.

The glossy mailer is adorned with a bucolic landscape photo and the statement “A well-run community that serves its citizens and effectively enforces its laws.”

“listen-in” held earlier this spring, the mailing is headlined “Springs Spoke, We Listened.”

As incumbent elected officials Republicans running for town board seats (Cantwell is unopposed) have been listening to quality of life complaints from Springs residents for years – Councilman Dominick Stanzione has heard them from the dais, and Fred Overton has heard them from the town clerk’s seat.

The pair released their ideas for addressing overcrowding earlier this spring.

“Effective enforcement of existing law can make a big difference,“ the two wrote, listing “additional code enforcement capability” as a priority. They called for additional capacity “laser-focused” on housing in Springs.

Like their opponents, Stanzione and Overton also support increasing fines substantially. They take the notion a step further and even suggest increasing property taxes for repeat housing code violators. “Landlords must be held responsible,” the candidates said.

The development of a comprehensive educational and communications program would ensure occupancy regulations are more easily understood and “common knowledge,” Overton and Stanzione theorized.

Although attempts by prior administrations to enact a rental registry law met with opposition from the public, the two GOP candidates support a registry that “reasonably protects tenants, property owners and communities.”

Finally, the pair will consider additional occupancy, safety and enforcement regulations, if necessary to provide local courts with needed tools and support longer-term regional transportation options.

Board watcher David Buda has been a relentless voice calling for action on quality of life problems in Springs. In a mass email providing both sets of candidate platforms he asked rhetorical question: If every candidate is on board the same bus, “Why is it still so difficult to get the current town board to actually do anything concrete and meaningful to eliminate overcrowded, unlawful houses and to eradicate commercial businesses operating in residential zones?” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Best Value May Be Best Deal

By Emily Toy

Southampton Town has OK’d awarding contracts for goods and services based on “best value.”

That means the town will be allowed to consider maintenance costs, durability and quality, according to the resolution passed last week.

Goods and services procured and awarded on the basis of “best value” are those that the town board determines optimize quality, cost and efficiency, among responsive and responsible bidders/offerers.

The resolution for the new legislation states: “The determination shall be based on an objective analysis of clearly described and documented criteria as they apply to the rating of bids or offers. The criteria may include, but shall not be limited to, any or all of the following: cost of maintenance; proximity to the end user if distance or response time is a significant term; durability; availability of replacement parts or maintenance contractors; longer product life; product performance criteria; and quality of craftsmanship.”

According to the resolution, the “best value” option may be used, for example, if it is more cost efficient over time to award the good or service to other than the lowest responsible bidder/offerer if factors such as lower cost of maintenance, durability, higher quality and longer product life can be documented.

Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst said the new legislation would give the town a lot more flexibility in the effort to obtain the best deal for the

long-term.

The new law also shows Southampton Town following suit with the likes of New York City and Suffolk County, who have also passed similar laws in the past, according to Deputy Town Attorney Carl Benincasa.

“This protects us from just lower bidders coming in, purposefully bidding low, knowing their costs would escalate,” said Throne-Holst.

“It’s very easy to give a lowball bid, by a vendor, knowing you’ll add on costs.”

The new law was passed by a 4-1 vote, with Councilwoman Bridget Fleming less than convinced of the effort’s merit.

“I’m skeptical,” she said. “It adds wiggle room to town spending.

Anything that introduces that level of subjectivity is playing with fire.”

According to Southampton

Comptroller Len Marchese, all town books are open and subject to audits. He said more likely than not a state auditor would look at the town’s procurement policy under “best value” to make sure the awards are objective.

Also discussed last week: • Benincasa was on hand again to speak with the town board about the annexation of town property into Southampton Village.

• Marchese, along with Director of Municipal Works, Christine Fetten, discussed emergency equipment expenditures within Southampton Town.

SCWA Water Main Extensions On South Fork The Suffolk County Water Authority over the past two weeks completed, or is close to completing, ten water main extensions in communities from Southampton to Montauk.

The projects range from a 243-foot extension on Washington Drive in Montauk to a 3126-foot project on Millstone Brook Road and nearby streets in Southampton. In total SCWA will add more than 8000 feet of water main to its existing service territory.

In addition to being subject to rigorous tests from the New York State Department of Health and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, public water from SCWA comes with many advantages such as bringing improved fire protection and the possibility of lowering homeowner’s insurance. With public water, customers are far more likely to maintain service during a weather emergency.

“We’re pleased to be able to bring safe and constantly tested water to our new customers on the South Fork,” said SCWA Chief Executive Officer Jeff Szabo.

Anyone interested in inquiring about hooking up to public water should contact SCWA’s new service department at 631-218-1148.

Shinnecock Bay Awareness Event The Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program (ShiRP), an initiative of Stony Brook’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS), has partnered with the Greek Orthodox Church of the Hamptons to offer a public educational event.

The event, Sunday at 11:30 AM at the church’s location at 111 St. Andrews Road, Southampton, will hopefully raise awareness of the church’s concern for and stewardship of the environment, and of Shinnecock Bay and the efforts to restore it. The general public is invited and encouraged to attend.

The event will feature educational activities such as touch tanks and shellfish experiments, as well as a brief talk by one of the program’s lead scientists. Students and project staff will be on hand to interact with the public, showcase life in the bay, and explain their research efforts to understand and restore the bay.

Dr. Ellen Pikitch, a professor at SoMAS and executive director of its Institute for Ocean Conservation Science, who is co-principal investigator of the ShiRP program, will give an overview of the project.

“This is an exciting opportunity for our church to cooperate with the Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program, raising awareness about some of the problems with Shinnecock Bay, and what we can do to help rectify the situation,” said Father Constantine Lazarakis. “As people of faith, it is our responsibility to care for the environment.”

The Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program is an effort through Stony Brook University to balance, restore and protect Shinnecock Bay, which has been negatively affected by harmful algal blooms, chemical inputs, and reduced shellfish populations.

Solve Problems With New Thinking

By McAllister, Toedter, Swesty & Gulizio

There has been much talk lately about Long Island’s water quality and that is a good thing. All of Long Island’s water comes directly from the aquifers below us. Unfortunately, scientists tell us that our water quality is suffering the effects of the nearly 3 million people who reside in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

One of the biggest culprits is an increase in the level of nitrogen in our aquifers, from human and animal waste, air pollution and fertilizers. And because our surface waters – our streams, rivers, lakes and coastal bays – are groundwater fed, pollutants from our groundwater find their way into our surface waters, where we fish and swim.

Suffolk County officials tell us that from 1985 to 2002 nitrogen increased by as much as 200 percent in our aquifers, along with increases in volatile organic compounds, pesticides and emerging contaminants including personal care products and pharmaceuticals. Decreased water quality affects the hard clam population in the Great South Bay and the scallop population in the Peconic estuary, which are now just one percent of what they were only 30 years ago.

The impacts to our water quality are part of a larger problem involving the way we make decisions about land use. Simply put, politics, too much special interest influence, not enough public participation and a lack of good information have created chaotic land use patterns which have diminished open spaces, congested roadways, impaired environmental quality and saddled us with some of the highest property taxes in the nation.

Science and a wealth of anecdotal evidence make it clear that current water quality standards don’t work.

Legislators in Albany are considering strengthening these standards along with the creation of a new Water Planning Board. That is good news.

While the creation of a regional water board might be a good thing, stocking it with the same elected and appointed officials that have failed to protect us to date, is not.

We need to commit to an open, transparent and inclusive planning process that engages the public in a meaningful way and puts science first.

To get started, our state and county legislators should first compel the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation

(NYSDEC) to adopt numeric limits for nutrients, such as nitrogen, in our waterways. We should avoid the adoption of an ad hoc scientifically unjustifiable standard that may not be sufficient to protect our waterways. NYSDEC scientists have already completed and published much of the work needed to identify the appropriate science-based standards for nutrients in our waterways. What is required is the political will to see those sciencebased standards implemented as regulations.

Next, federal, state, county and local governments should provide the funding needed to inventory and monitor the condition of our

waterways. Once numeric water quality standards have been adopted and comprehensive, independent, non-partisan information gathered, the public should be engaged in a meaningful way in the process of establishing clear, objective water quality goals and

August 21, 2013

the land use policies needed to achieve them.

Moving forward, efforts to protect and restore water quality must also be part of a broader discussion about our development practices.

After all, our land use regulations and the development patterns that they enabled have significantly contributed to the declining quality of our ground and surface waters. The protection of water quality must be Continued on page 29.

Eye On Education

By Dr. Dominic Annacone

Common Core Standards Testing Guarantee High Failure Rates Surprise! Surprise! Almost 70 percent of the students in New York State failed the new tests based on the Common Core Standards. This comes as no surprise to me since a radical change in what kids are supposed to learn, vis-a-vis their curriculum areas, was made without any tooling up in terms of teaching and instructional practices.

The new instructional emphasis

used to configure the Common Core Standards tests devised by panels of state governors and other appointees is on critical thinking and other higher cognitive level skills. The new test questions require students to be more analytical and fluent in terms of their answers with less reliance on factual knowledge, which was the predominant theme of the former tests.

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

This is certainly a welcomed change in determining what’s worth teaching and what’s worth learning. The problem is there was no advance work done to train teachers, prepare students, and coordinate school learning environments for making this radical educational transformation.

It would be like having automobile factories being forced to transition to hybrid cars from the old models without any retooling of workers or upgrading of engineering designs.

What’s even more ridiculous is the way the failures were reported locally in certain journals. One columnist made it sound like an athletic contest with “Amagansett outperforming its neighboring districts,” “Montauk coming in first in seventh grade,” “Springs ranked not far behind,” etc. etc. Such descriptions are more suitable to horse racing than school reporting.

All they do is lead to some feeble interpretations of how local schools perform since factors such as entry level skills of students, class size, resource allocation, student population needs (i.e. number of special education and ESL students), etc. aren’t reported along with test scores.

When test scores replicate athletic scoreboards with winning and losing school districts, the public gets the impression that certain districts are succeeding and

IN THE NEWS

others are failing based on a few hours of testing. This is a shallow method for evaluating teaching and learning. It may be that even if certain schools had the prerequisite training of teachers and curriculum upgrading, their students would not succeed because of socio-economic circumstances. For example, in certain urban districts there is a 30 to 40 percent truancy rate.

If students don’t show up or their attendance is erratic their academic achievement with any curriculum endeavor is doubtful. Those kinds of facts should accompany test score reports.

I’m all in favor of the higher cognitive teaching and learning approach. Researchers many years ago reported that 90 percent of the questions asked in class, for assignments, on tests, etc. required the memory level response on the cognitive scale.

When you think about all of the time kids spend in responding to questions, doing assignments, taking tests, etc. it stands to reason the change to higher level thinking skills isn’t going to happen by imposing new tests on schools without the proper retooling and retraining. All this approach accomplishes is to provide more fodder for education critics and more discouragement for our students, our teachers and our schools.

Thiele, LaValle Release Highway Safety Report

By Kitty Merrill

Last summer, it seemed like every week a serious accident on South Fork roads resulted in injured drivers or pedestrians, plus traffic backed up for miles and roads closed for hours. With just one major artery to The Hamptons, travel could be hellacious, with hours-long delays as emergency responders tended to the scene.

The situation prompted Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Senator Ken LaValle last October to convene a roundtable discussion with the goal of addressing South Fork Highway Safety.

This week, the pair released a final recommendations report, outlining projects and initiatives to make South Fork roads safer for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Since the initial meeting, the roundtable’s three workgroups -- engineering, education and enforcement -- have been meeting to discuss new plans, policies, and programs that should be instituted.

Participants have included roadway engineers and safety officers, police, emergency responders, educators, and elected officials.

According to a release heralding the report, “Since last summer, significant progress has been made in addressing the deteriorating condition of Montauk Highway, increasing penalties for distracted driving, and improving public transit ridership and service.” However, the lawmakers say, more must be done including installing red light cameras, lowering speed limits, implementing multi-jurisdictional enforcement actions, implementing communication and notification plans, and initiating driving safety education programming.

Even with the improvements, accidents this summer continue to occur, and, like the fatal headon collision on July 25 that closed County Road 39 for nine hours, result in exceptionally snarled and delayed traffic. Anecdotal reports saw the ride from Southampton to East Hampton taking as many as three hours that day.

“While we have come a long way in just the past year, the closure of

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2013 All Star Lineup – of hurricane names.

The names come from the National Hurricane Center, which long ago vowed to be politically correct by including male names among the traditional female names.

This year’s list is an odd one, though. The NHC in all its wisdom has not only decided to be gendersensitive, it has become diverse, multicultural, and it even panders to a significant portion of the American population – morons – by spelling a few names wrong.

Here is the entire list; Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dorian, Erin, Fernand, Gabrielle, Humberto, Ingrid, Jerry,

Karen, Lorenzo, Melissa, Nestor, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah, Sebastien, Tanya, Van, Wendy.

Notice there is a Hurricane Karen this year. Regular readers know I suffer through a Hurricane Karen every year around this time – that would be my wife, convinced the world is going to end every time the wind howls.

I don’t worry much about the weather. The way I figure it, I can scrounge up enough food to last me a couple of days, and I have an iPod, two batteries for my cell phone and plenty of movies and books stored on my Galaxy tablet.

The most important thing is booze, of course, and I have lots of wine in the basement, so even if we are trapped down there for an extended period, it will be cool. A can of pork

and beans, a bottle of Bordeaux and thou – what’s not to like?

Karen worries about this stuff more than I do. For years the same scene played out in our house every August.

“What are we going to do if that tree in the front yard goes through the roof?” she would ask. That morphed into a soliloquy about how she’s been after me to trim the branches for 18 years and I never do, like I’m really going to climb up on the roof anytime in my lifetime. Once she brings up the tree that hovers dangerously close to the house the conversation inevitably turned to the gutters, and the fact they were hopelessly clogged.

So clogged, in fact, that they didn’t work at all. The water just cascaded down – right by the front door.

I once climbed up to look at the gutters and I almost fell off the ladder – there are things living in them, horrible reptilian things, and they feast on the remains of squirrels and rabbits and birds and I think I saw my Aunt Nellie’s severed hand. One thing was for certain — no man in his right mind would attempt to actually pick up the gook and slime in those gutters.

Guess what happened last year during the Super Storm? The tree branch was blown off, crashed into the gutter and knocked it half off, so it was hanging perilously close to the bedroom window. Hurricane Karen finally had her soapbox.

“I begged you to trim that tree!” she scolded.

“I told you those gutters were overflowing!”

Oh, by the way, the top of the chimney also flew off, which Hurricane Karen also blamed on me.

Last year I was away on important business – Ok, it was my fantasy baseball draft in Albany, when a tragedy occurred.

Karen told me she heard a loud thud – that something large had fallen down the chimney and landed in the oil burner. I assured her that was impossible, because the chimney

had a cap on it. I just assumed it was a piece of ice thawing.

To make a short story long, the oil burner guy came to clean it last fall and found the carcass of some dead thing. Hurricane Karen got that smug look on her face – guys, we all know the one. The “I told you so, stupid” look.

Then she launched into a soliloquy about how I should have been home to save the raccoon instead of at some sports bar in Albany with my goofy buddies. Yeah, I was going to reach into the oil burner to get the burning raccoon out. Hell, the fall probably killed whatever fell down the chimney – and I think it might have been Aunt Nellie.

I start worrying about a hurricane when there is a chance it could impact NFL games. Then it dawns on me that if there is something so powerful out there that even those great big, mean football players are afraid to take the field then maybe I should be prepared.

There’s something about staring into the face of a huge storm, about the inherent and ongoing battle of man against nature.

“We’ll persevere,” I told Karen. “I’ll chop some wood (note to self: buy hatchet), make a fire, and cook in the living room,” I said. But Karen pointed out the last time I made a fire I forget to open the flue and three of her four parakeets died.

“We survived Sandy and we’ll survive the next big one,” I proclaimed.

Actually, we survived Sandy by staying at Gurney’s Inn, but that’s beside the point.

One thing I have to remember to do is buy batteries for the radios and portable lights. I sent Karen out before Sandy and she came home with 80 packs of double A batteries. “Karen,” I said sternly, “I told you to get ‘C’ batteries!”

“Oh,” she said innocently. “I thought one size fits all.”

That night, as we sat in the dark with no lights, the radio ran out of power. Yes, Hurricane Karen blamed it on me.

Obamacare: A Disaster Is Coming Our Way

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

EDITORIAL

Like a monster storm gathering strength as it prepares to strike, the nationallymandated health insurance “reform” package known as Obamacare lurks ominously close to shore.

As more and more key provisions of the “affordable care” -- that’s an oxymoron -- law take effect, taxpayers will experience the financial impact first hand, and all the empty promises and assurances from politicians who voted for it will evaporate in a wave of consumer anger.

Last week President Obama delayed a key consumer-friendly element of Obamcare: a cap on out of pocket spending, namely deductibles. When the politicians were selling Obamacare, capping deductibles was sold to us as a trade-off for the higher cost of premiums.

What has happened is that premiums have risen again for next year without the corresponding drop in out-of-pocket expenses. One White House official had the nerve to explain the delay by stating: “We had to balance the interests of consumers with the concerns of health plan sponsors and carriers.” Oh. How does that balance things out? The giant health insurers get a pass on a provision of Obamacare that would have cost them money and are given free rein to raise rates nonetheless. How does that help the consumer?

According to Forbes, the postponement will have devastating effects on individuals who rely on new-age drug treatments literally for their survival. “The promise of out-of-pocket limits was one of the main reasons we supported health reform,” says Theodore M. Thompson of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. “We have wonderful new drugs . . . but they are extremely expensive.” The American Cancer Society also

Independent VOICES

So Called Journalists To the Editor, In your editorial dated August 7, you noted the newspapers of record, did not report Congressman Bishop’s ethics probe.

The investigation of the cozy relationships with the wealthy for quid pro quo donations for political favors was a job well done. The other local media, print and TV sources did not want to run this story.

This news blackout is an all too common occurrence out here in the Hamptons, where the liberals ignore what real journalism is supposed to be. The Independent has taken this congressional ethics probe

and explained in plain English that this investigation is about money and alleged quid pro quo political favors.

This is not an everyday event, it’s news and yet many East End voters and taxpayers won’t know about this investigation unless they read The Independent. Why? How can this not be newsworthy? The other East End so called journalists and media don’t take interest in a congressional investigation, maybe out of convenience?

Rick, your explanation makes sense as to why it is not covered -- stories are not based on their newsworthiness, but on how it plays out and to whom.

Will there be a full story on this, as Rick suggested, if Bishop is found not guilty?

Only time will tell. Often when you take information about current events to the Press and News 12 you are told the same thing, it isn’t news.

expressed dismay – some cutting edge treatments cost upwards of $100,000.

And it’s not just sick people who get hurt. Colleges and universities offered basic insurance to incoming students for about $300 a year or less, using the premise students were young and healthy and would pay for a deductible for their own medicine if they did get sick. According to Forbes, the rates went up tenfold, in part because the co-pays and deductible costs were capped. Now, the cap has been delayed but the premium increase stayed. In many cases, colleges have found themselves unable to continue to offer health insurance, or had to raise tuitions to pay for it.

Obamacare may well be the biggest lie ever fostered on the American public. A populist president desperate for reelection promised the populace that the poor, the young, and the working man would be able to have affordable health insurance.

Instead, Obama delayed cuts in Medicare until after the election, fearing a voter backlash. In what was clearly a political maneuver, the mandate to insure all workers was postponed for many of the same unions that voted heavily for Democrats – buying their votes for 2014 as well.

Numerous provisions in Obamacare that were truly consumer friendly have been delayed in the face of a massive lobbying campaign, including the enforcement of a number of key eligibility requirements for the law’s health insurance subsidies. Instead the government will rely on an “honor system” for compliance, which is basically akin to asking Bonnie and Clyde to promise to stop robbing banks.

This was never about helping the little people. It was always about getting their votes. Having done that, the Obama administration is now jumping into bed with the powerful health care and pharmaceutical lobbyists and stripping the “Affordable” Care Act of its consumer-friendly provisos. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

JUST ASKING

IN THE NEWS

By Karen Fredericks

What’s your opinion on the A-Rod controversy?

Continued from page 25.

for yourself if it’s NEWS. Journalism is a cornerstone of our Republic and is necessary to hold all in public office accountable to the people.

Here is why the public must be involved in their Government, thereby keeping them honest. No news source should have a favorite or slant like conservative or liberal, it should just be truth so the readers can decide. Thank you to Rick Murphy and The Independent for being first to cover the news in this case.

JAMES BOYD Editor’s Note: Ironically, when Mitt Romney came out for a fundraiser on the same oceanfront street, protestors complained bitterly he represented the “one-percent” – wealthy people with deep pockets. The Southampton Press and East Hampton Star provided full coverage of the protests, interviewing protestors who aired their beliefs. Yet when Tim Bishop tapped in on similar wealthy contributors at a top dollar fundraiser on the same street, neither newspaper bothered to interview the protestors who were there. Bishop is raising money for legal expenses relating to the congressional ethics probe against him – he’s tapping into yes, the one-per centers.

And when one of them needs to a favor, they’ll know who to call. Why weren’t the same people who were upset about Romney hobnobbing with the filthy rich there to air their moral outrage?

Kathleen Wagner I’ve got teenage boys who love sports so I have a very strong opinion. He’s making millions and it’s part of his responsibility as a role model to be ethical and moral, and play the sport as it’s supposed to be played without drugs. And forget the Baseball Hall of Fame! Absolutely not!

Tim Conlon I prefer to focus on the good guys. The Derek Jeters’ and Mariano Riveras’. The guys who’ve done it right their whole career. As for that contract, I think The Yankees are stuck with it.

They should have done their due diligence.

Maybe they did and were willing to look the other way.

Lauren Salla I think all professional baseball corporations are corrupt. But there are players who are moral.

And if they play by the rules and they have great careers they deserve the praise they get for it. And the millions of dollars they get paid.

Lea Ceasarine It’s not fair to the other players. And it brings so much negative attention to the ones who do play by the rules. Sports figures are role models. It’s kind of like Lance Armstrong. It’s disappointing when so many people looked up to him yet he was cheating. It’s disappointing. annually by the town. I have no bathroom in that hangar.

As long as you seem to want to mention our past employment -- as a retired police officer your investigative background must have failed you, since you bought and built your home, directly under a traffic pattern at a local airport, that has been there and existed since 1936!

Now as to the Thousands of complaints about airport noise, hmmm . . .

of any of those bodies is a person who is trying to serve the public and its interests consonant with personal beliefs, and for our mutual benefit.

Over the last few years I have attended more Town Board work sessions and regular meetings, community meetings and Citizen Advisory Council gatherings than I care to think about. I had a personal and community agenda, and I realized that the only way to help my neighbors, friends and myself to achieve what we wanted, however just and appropriate, was to be out there.

I recognize that I am fortunate in that I had the time to devote to helping change things, and I am very proud of the fact that after the effort, each time Duck Creek Farm Association’s proposals and projects (so far) have come before the Board, the vote was unanimously in favor. It wasn’t magic, but reasonable advocacy. And it certainly wasn’t silly.

Common Sense

Give Him A Chance

Dear Sir, The Independent editorial last week used the phrase “Silly Season” to describe the upcoming local political campaigns. Silly phrase, given that local elections have a direct and relatively immediate effect on the lives of every resident in East Hampton, much more so than the leaking, if not outright sinking ship of state that lately passes for national government.

Not to take the usage out of context, the contentions of our two major parties already trading jibes over which group or whose candidates are more malfeasant in terms of reporting contributions, filing appropriate reports, and on what schedules with the NY State Board of Elections was the ostensible topic.

But really, it is a kind of insidious comment to make when our town is trying to decide its course into an uncertain future that includes many difficult issues exacerbated by politics instead of dealt with by pragmatism, good will and mutual respect for one another.

It’s not at all silly to listen to opposing voices, to consider what others have to say, and to be able to change your mind if a better idea, new information or changing circumstances dictates a better way to approach an old issue, or to set a new agenda.

Examples of the difficulty of this kind of common sense taking hold in government at any level, but especially and most importantly at the local level where it most affects our lives, can be found in any even casual reading of our local papers, or in the televised or observed in person discussions of our government from the Town Board itself, and through the alphabet of oversight from the Architectural Review Board to the Zoning Board of Approvals. Yet each member

Letter to the Editor, Remember that week in July when the temperatures soared? Well, I and a few other Republicans were out getting signatures on petitions so all registered Republicans in East Hampton would have an opportunity for their own primary on September 10th to do a write in vote to place a supervisor candidate at the top of our currently vacant Republican ticket.

We succeeded!

How it will work: On September 10th, any EH registered Republican can go to their polling place and WRITE IN any person’s name, to be the supervisor candidate at the head of the Republican ticket in November.

The person with the highest number of votes wins!

We are fortunate at this time in our political history to have a candidate for supervisor who has the demeanor, strength and experience to be a uniting force for East Hampton. Larry Cantwell has proven himself an able administrator whose credo has been to deal respectfully, fairly and competently with all members of the public, regardless of their individual political affiliations. Until I see something to the contrary, I believe Larry can bring the community together. I want to give him the chance to prove himself as “everybody’s” supervisor.

How interesting that of the many people with whom I spoke while collecting signatures, including the 166 Republicans who signed my petition, almost no one spoke of voting for anyone other than Larry Cantwell.

It is important that the ordinary citizens of our community, who happen to be Republicans, some of whom are affiliated with political organizations, but many more who are unaffiliated, speak with one

BEVERLY BOND

Bowled Over Dear Rick, This recent wilting, depressing heatwave was eased somewhat with a little comedic relief offered up on Tuesday 7/30.

An event took place in Washington. Despite being rejected and deemed dangerous by all major physiological organizations, it involved a march on Washington’s Supreme Court by the “scores” of Ex-Gays advocating the “curing” of gays of their gayness. We

were about to be bowled over by this grand demonstration validating their medicament.

The major Conservative sponsors were, “American Family Radio” and the celebration of “Ex-Gay Pride Month” who confidentially predicted that, “Thousands of Ex-Gays are descending on Washington” to display the validity, success and strength of their movement. Less than 10 showed up; so much for the “Pray Gay Away” faction.

Encouraging also, after 37 years, Exodus International, an organization whose mission was to “help” gay Christians become straight, is not only shutting down but also offering an apology. The board of directors voted to begin a new and separate ministry called “Reduce Fear.” They say it is founded in John 13-24: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

One must ask, why does it take so damned long for these professed God lovers to see what Jesus was all about, rather than being among of the most prejudice, selfish and self righteous of people. Somehow labeling themselves, “Christian” seems to absolve them of doing unto others as they would have done unto themselves.

Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. The person, must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. after 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted. My prayers were answered.

Thank you so very much.

The Village Latch Inn Hotel

By Jessica Mackin

Last Tuesday night I was invited to stay at The Village Latch Inn on Hill Street in Southampton. The boutique hotel is located in Southampton Village on a five-acre estate.

Owners Marta and Martin White have owned The Village Latch for four decades and have recently put it on the market for $23 million.

Real estate agent Esther Paster took me on a tour of the eight unique buildings on the property along with the pool and tennis courts.

Eclectic decor shows the character of this property. The century-old hotel was originally created and run by artists, so no two rooms are alike.

Furniture from everywhere from Bali to England completes the warm and gracious ambiance.

The beautiful property, which provided the backdrop to Matt and Annette Lauer’s wedding, has been a celebrity mainstay for decades.

Michael J. Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Hudson, Dennis Quaid, Lauren Hutton, Isabella Rosellini, Anne Hathaway, Ethel Kennedy, Al Roker, Elle McPherson, Michael Kors, and

Vice Presidents Al Gore and Joe Biden have also frequented the inn.

Guests enjoy the fact that the inn is private, yet is situated in close proximity to the nearby village.

The Village Latch also holds a lot of history. It was formerly known as the grand annex to the famous Irving Hotel, Eastern Long Island’s oldest established hostelry.

The Mayor of Southampton, Mark Epley, recently addressed the ability for a smart developer to come in and modernize the property while maintaining its character. Options include boutique hotel, restaurant, health spa, multi family residences, corporate retreat, or residential subdivision. Existing approvals, surveys, architectural site plans, yield map and Suffolk County Department of Health Services requirements for the expansion of the site are available showing the property’s potential for development.

Contact Esther Paster at The Corcoran Group at 516-356-6929 or visit www.villagelatch.com for more information on the hotel.

Owners Marta and Martin White with Southampton Mayor Mark Epley.

a frequently sighted Hamptonite is Sarah Jessica. She was seen this week loading the kids and the groceries into her car at the Amagansett IGA. Also busy shopping over the weekend was Martha Stewart who was spied with a minion Sunday loading bags into a black SUV at the Red Horse Market in East Hampton.

Vice President Joe Biden is hanging in Southampton this summer. He was spotted lunching at 75 Main recently. The very gorgeous Scarlett Johansson was spotted cozied up to her beau at Sotto Sopra in Amagansett.

T PE of the Week

A member of Shep’s family developed an allergy and sadly, he must find a new home. The family contacted RSVP and when Shep was evaluated, he was the most affable dog you could ever meet. He is great with all, children and other animals and would make an excellent companion pet in any household.

Shep is only 1 1/2 years young, a shepherd/chow mix, approximately 55 pounds, up to date on all shots and well trained.

His family is heartbroken and

their only wish is to find a good home for this great dog.

Sex Offender Trailers Removed

Sex offender trailers in Southampton Town were removed from their respective sites in Westhampton and Riverside, according to a press release from Legislator Jay Schneiderman on Monday morning.

Formerly used to house homeless sex offenders, the trailers were first put in place by former Department of Social Services Commissioner Janet DeMarzo in 2007 without prior notice to local public officials. The program drew criticism from Schneiderman, Southampton Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst, Legislator Al Krupski, former Legislator Ed Romaine and Riverhead Supervisor Sean Walter, along with other community members and local officials.

County Executive Steve Bellone ended the housing program in May after passing the Community Protection Act, which was designed to provide additional monitoring of all registered sex offenders and permanently end Suffolk County’s policy of clustering registered sex offenders in any one location.

Removing the abandoned trailers from the sites was deemed “an important measure” by Schneiderman, as it insured the trailers would not return to the community.

“I am grateful that the County Executive took the final step in permanently ending this unfair program,” Schneiderman said.

The East Hampton YMCA and Sag Harbor’s Mashashimuet Park have agreed to join forces. The goal, said YMCA Program Director Kathy Fallon, is to better serve the public by offering more, and more diverse programs that will reach a wider audience.

The first event, on Friday, will be a Zumba Dance Party from 6:30-8, which will kick off the partnership. Tickets are available in advance for $20 at the YMCA and will be sold at the event for $25. It is open to people of all ages and is billed as a “feel it to the core” fitness party.

The main entrance is on the corner of Jermain Avenue and Main Street and there is plenty of parking on site.

Black Marbles With Red Spots

By Jim Ash

Growing up as I did in the late 1940s and early ‘50s on the border of Brooklyn and Queens was a different experience than from what it surely is today. When I was a young boy there were quite a few vestiges of rural life still in evidence in that area. Believe it or not, a few small dairies with eight to 10 milk cows, and truck farms along Flushing Avenue were still in existence.

There were many vacant parcels of land that were commonly called lots and what seemed like miles of cemeteries. It was in those lots and cemeteries that we spent much of our time stalking and catching toads, snakes, turtles, and all sorts of flying and crawling insects. Often I would get home from school only to have my mother complain that my snakes had escaped again and that one was still missing somewhere in the house.

There was however one quarry that was the most sought after, and my mother, if she knew, would certainly have put an end to it. Our code name was black marbles with red spots.

On Freshpond Road there was a druggist who, for reasons we kids didn’t fully understand, was an arachnophile. He was particularly

interested in Black Widow Spiders, and would pay us the princely sum of 25 cents for every one we could bring him. He had a large fish tank in the window of the drugstore in which he would keep them.

At a time when a stamp was three cents, a loaf of bread was 21 cents and you could get into a Saturday matinee (two full length features and ten color cartoons) for 15 cents, a quarter was well worth the effort of catching the spider.

Piles of rock and broken concrete rubble were the best places to search for them and when one was found it was coaxed with a stick into a small Maxwell House coffee jar so a lid could be securely screwed in place for the trip to the drug store.

There are five species of widow spiders in the United States, and Long Island is well within the range of the Northern Black Widow (Latrodectus variolus). The area is also at the northern end of the range of the Southern Black Widow (Latrodectus mactans).

The common name “Widow” is given because the female sometimes, but not always, will kill and consume the male after mating with him. The female can store sperm within her body, so she is able to produce multiple broods of

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

fertile eggs after one mating, over a lifespan that can in some cases be as long as three years.

Both species of widows have a round abdomen about threeeighths of an inch in diameter that looks like a shiny black marble. The southern widow has a bright red hourglass-shaped mark on the underside while the northern widow exhibits a row of red spots on the upper side and an hourglass that is broken in the middle by black on the underside.

Almost all spiders possess venom; however, only a few species produce venom potent enough to be harmful to humans. Black Widows are among those few. Timid spiders, widows are not aggressive and bites to humans usually occur only when the spider is pressed against the skin, usually by sitting on one or accidently putting a hand on one.

The venom is a neurotoxin and after being bitten one may experience painful rigidity in the muscles of the abdomen and a feeling of tightness in the chest.

Other symptoms include an increase in blood pressure, a rise in body temperature, nausea, and sweating.

Death from a Black Widow bite is uncommon with less than one percent mortality in reported cases.

Those most at risk are the very young, the elderly, and persons who have a suppressed immune

system.

Fortunately, widows for the most part frequent places that humans don’t. But there are circumstances when unexpected contact can occur, as in a seldom-used shed or outhouse.

A few years ago on a cool fall morning I lifted up the cover of a hot tub on the deck at my home in North West Woods and discovered a marble with red spots, the first one I have encountered in over 30 years of living here, a beautifully marked northern widow which I promptly captured and released in the surrounding woodland.

The following day it had returned, drawn I think by the heat and humidity of the hot tub. This time I took it by car to a nearby nature preserve. Earlier this past summer, Lisa J. Eggert called to say she had discovered a widow under an RV cover in her yard in Amagansett, and asked if we would like it for the SoFo Museum. It now resides contentedly consuming crickets in a 20-gallon tank.

So be cautious about putting your hands into dark, seldom used, places and stop by the museum to visit the widow. They are very interesting animals, and after all these years I think I finally understand the fascination the druggist had for them.

Jonathan Stabe sailing aboard the Tonto out of Star Island Yacht Club in Montauk landed a whopper of a wahoo that, breaking the New York state record, last weekend.

The state record for the fish was

3655 Route 112 • Coram 716-4040 5 Miles South of Route 25

109 pounds for a trophy landed in 2003 by an angler named Anthony Savarese. Stabe’s catch tipped the scales at 117.7 pounds.

A member of the Scombridae family, the wahoo is reputed to be one of the fastest fish in the sea, with the ability to attain speeds of 50 mph. According to the International Game Fish Association, “The first scorching run may peel off several hundred yards of line in seconds.

Occasionally this fish jumps on the strike and often shakes its head violently when hooked in an effort to free itself. Fishing methods include trolling with whole, rigged baits as well as with strip baits or artificial lures. Live bait fishing and kite fishing are productive, but the wahoo is a relatively scarce species and is usually taken incidentally while fishing for other oceanic species. The wahoo has commercial importance in some countries. The flesh is finely grained and sweet and is considered excellent eating.”

The world record wahoo weighed in at a hefty 184 pounds. It was caught off Cabo San Lucas in Mexico in 2005.

Stabe’s trophy was 77 inches long with a girth of 34.5 inches. It was caught last Friday near “Fish Tails” using skirted ballyhoo. On the same trip, fishermen also landed one yellowfin, eight longfin albacore, one bigeye, and two mahi mahi.

They released two white marlin.

Jets Best Off With Sanchez . . .

For Now Jets fans are desperate. They are desperate to win, desperate to not be a laughing stock, desperate for their head coach to stay relatively quiet, and desperate to figure out their quarterback position.

Very early in camp, Geno Smith blew away coaches and reporters with his big arm and smooth touch. For the most part these characteristics were refreshing because they represented everything Mark Sanchez is not. Despite the excitement surrounding Smith, the best thing for the future of the franchise would be to begin the season with Mark Sanchez as the starting quarterback.

Despite all of Smith’s physical gifts and what appears to be a sharp mind for the game, he’s raw. He has reportedly picked the offense up fairly quickly. But asking him to shoulder the load for what is bluntly, a bad football team, isn’t

fair to Smith or Jets fans.

The Jets didn’t draft Smith to be a quick fix. He was drafted to be the future of the franchise. And with the offense as limited as it appears to be, throwing him into the fire during Week 1 can only hurt his confidence and potentially make him another whipping boy for a beleaguered fan base. This season needs to be about protecting Smith, their only obvious long-term asset at any offensive skill position.

Meantime, on the first series of their first preseason game against the Lions, Mark Sanchez threw a brutal interception which was returned for a touchdown.

Sanchez rebounded by completing 10 of 13 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. Smith was clearly hesitant in the preseason opener, completing six of seven for 47 yards before limping off the field in the third quarter. That’s okay for a

www.indyeastend.com

rookie learning a new system, but not impressive enough to make anyone think he’s ready to succeed in the NFL. Smith’s ankle tweak will hopefully put an end to the notion that he should start the season at QB. While Sanchez may not have inspired confidence from Jets fans, at least for one preseason game he performed better than his rival.

The second preseason game against the Jaguars didn’t feature Smith, who was resting his ankle sprain. Yet, Sanchez did little to grab a strangle hold on the job. Despite throwing a nice 23-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Cumberland, he also tossed a red zone interception, and then held on to the ball too long on third down as the first half ended, keeping the Jets from a chance at a field goal.

It’s become clear that many fans don’t want to see Sanchez under center at any point in the regular season. After 52 turnovers, including 36 interceptions the past two seasons, that’s more than understandable. But accepting another year of Sanchez “butt fumbles” is a better option than forcing Smith to try to make chicken out of chicken “bleep.”

If Smith were to get the job and struggle mightily, nothing would be

August 21, 2013

more harmful to his future in New York than being sent to the bench in favor of Sanchez. It would create more media scrutiny and a circuslike atmosphere that the Jets have done a decent job of tempering so far this season.

There are some similarities between now and four years ago, when Sanchez was awarded the starting job despite being outplayed in the preseason by incumbent Kellen Clemens. However, that Jets team was ready to turn over a new leaf with head coach Rex Ryan.

Soon enough Sanchez appeared to be the quarterback of the future by taking the Jets to back-to-back AFC Championship games.

Some fans point to that scenario four years ago as a reason to hand Smith the job today. But the team built around Sanchez in 2009 had talent. This team doesn’t. While I understand wanting to turn the page from Sanchez, doing so at the start of the season risks continued uncertainty at the most important position on the team.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

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

Before You Throw In The Towel, Give It A Go!

OK, so you’re done fishing and you turn to the engine and give the key a turn. Ominously, you don’t hear a thing. Or, she turns over, but as soon as you give it forward propulsion, she stalls. No one is going home soon. Before you call for a tow, here are some tips.

Calling For Help v Self-Help Any good tower only wants to help where help is needed. We’re graced with real pros out on our bays and creeks and they will go out of their way to ensure they are providing help when and where it is needed.

Gone are the days of smacking the old two-stoke with a hammer and she starts up with a cough and puff. These new engines are nearly as complex as car engines have become – and those are plenty complex!

Fuel: Out Of I would be willing to wager that

the largest source of boats not getting underway is lack of fuel. This is really not something you should let happen. Use the “1/3rd-1/3rd1/3rd” Rule.

Plan on using a third of your fuel to get there, a third to get home and third in reserve for the unpredictable events plus the predictable headwinds.

How do you know how much fuel that is? The least predictable device on your boat, in my measured opinion, is your fuel gauge. This is why I have been constantly recommending to skippers that they keep records of their fuel consumption – engine time when you started, engine time when you refueled, calculate gallons/hour consumed. And write it in a log. I have been since day one on every boat.

It is also a good indication if there is something that needs addressing when fuel consumption stops being predictable, i.e., you’re using more

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

than you should be by historical standards (see The Independent, “We All Get Heavier with Age – And so do our Boats!”, 5/23/07).

I really don’t recommend storing fuel in cans aboard as a back-up. It just seems so much smarter and so much safer to keep and use your log.

Fuel Issues If the engine stalls or you feel a real “drag” when you get underway, stop and do some quick checking.

You might have picked up some fishing line which is now wrapped around your prop’s base.

This can be a serious problem as it can compromise the shaft seal and allow water to enter the lower unit. If it does, it will push out the oil. If that happens, you have a real problem.

You may have plenty of gas, but if the primer bulb is contracted, there is a blockage somewhere causing a vacuum – which can be as simple at the fuel vent being covered, blocked or actually manually shut. Check that. If the bulb is easy to squeeze but doesn’t get hard when doing so, this also can be a real problem.

It may be as simple as a leak somewhere that is allowing air into the system or as serious as a pinhole in the line and gas is leaking into your boat. Use your nose – ASAP! Electrical Things Something that you should keep aboard is a volt meter and that is what I reach for when the engine won’t turn over. If the battery isn’t charged correctly, the engine won’t start by turning the key. If the engine is light enough, you can start the engine by spinning the flywheel with a pull cord. Or, if you have jumper cables aboard like you probably do with your car, a kindly mariner can give you a jump-start.

If the battery is charged but the engine won’t turn over, check the connections. Remove the wires, clean the posts and try again.

Also, some manufacturers are using butterfly nuts as connectors to make it easy to service the batteries. It also makes it easy to shake loose under the stresses of a boat pounding into head seas.

Another culprit is that the kill-

IN THE NEWS

switch lanyard has come loose and you just didn’t notice. This isn’t all that it could be, but, often enough, it is.

Cooling/Oil If the overheating alarm goes on, stop the boat, turn off the engine and get the cover off. Wait for the engine to cool down. If you can turn the key and the alarm hasn’t started, the engine has cooled – and now the detective work begins. First, start the engine and see if the telltale water stream is still spritzing out. If not, or only partially, stop the engine. See if you can get something sturdy (60-pound monofilament?) into the telltale and clear it out.

Even better, often the telltale is integrated into the water plug that you remove to give the engine a water flushing. Take the plug out and then ream that monofilament into the telltale so you just don’t push the blocking material back into the engine.

If no water is still coming out of the telltale, tilt the engine up and check the intakes. They could easily be blocked with seaweed. If the intakes are clear and the telltale is also clear, it is one of two problems.

One, the impeller is compromised and that isn’t likely to get fixed at sea. The other is that the sensor itself is faulty. This happened to me once when I was delivering a twoengine vessel. We were 10 miles out and the overheating warning came on for one of the engines.

I had to respect the over-heating signal so I proceeded on one screw until we were within hailing distance of the dock. I fired up the second engine, which still registered as over-heating after 30 minutes of cooling down (which made me think that it WAS the sensor) and laid her up against the dock. Repairs, which meant just replacing the sensor, were quickly affected.

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…”

The Pats signed Leon Washington, the former Jet known for his kickoff and punt-returning skills. We can see Bill Belichick using him out of the backfield a la Woodhead.

As for draft day strategy, Gronkowlski is still the second rated tight end on most draft boards. Given his bad back, though, don’t overreach for him. If you grab him, probably around the sixth round, it might be a good idea to handcuff him with Sudfeld a few picks later.

You have to figure Amedola is good

CHILDRENS PROGRAMS

The New England Patriots are missing their five top pass receivers from last season, begging the question, “Who will catch Tom Brady’s passes?” Yeah, we know, wise guy – Giselle Bundchen for sure. Maybe though, some other supermodel – remember Tom holds the record for impregnating supermodels in a single season with two.

Gone are Wes Welker, who grabbed 118 passes from Brady last year, Brandon Lloyd (74), Aaron Hernandez (51), and Danny Woodhead (40). Rob Gronkowski, who caught 55 passes, is out after having back surgery but may be available later in the season.

That adds up to 318 completed passes, and Brady only completed 401. No, he’s not going to stop throwing the pigskin around. Identifying who will be catching the passes is a key component of putting together a good Fantasy Football team. Let’s take a look at the candidates.

Danny Amendola is the logical candidate to replace Wes Welker – he is short, white, and quick. In fact, he is viewed by the Patriots as a younger version of Brady’s favorite target. The trouble is Amendola has trouble staying on the field – he’s injury prone. He did manage to catch 66 passes for the Rams last season nonetheless.

Stevan Ridley, the starting tailback, only caught a handful of passes last season – we expect Brady to target him more this time around. Ridley’s backup, Shane Vereen, figures to be the chief beneficiary of Woodhead’s departure, however – he could be sitting on a big season. Julian Edelman, a returning running back, was used in passing sets last season and he should see his role expanding.

Zach Sudfeld, a huge, undrafted tight end, caught a TD pass in an exhibition game and figures to see plenty of action, at least until Gronk comes back, Even then, New England likes to employ two TE sets, so Sudfeld should definitely be on your Fantasy radar.

Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson, two rookie wide receivers, are getting a lot of love in Fantasy drafts. Neither were rated highly in college, and we have our doubts about both. The Patriots have six unknown receivers on their roster and it is anyone’s guess which ones will emerge. Don’t get carried away.

Dobson the most physically-gifted, would be our guess for the long term.
