SoFo Honors Christie

By Kitty Merrill

For most people, childhood memories involve carnival trips, birthday parties or that first shiny new two-wheeler.

Christie Brinkley’s not most people.

The supermodel, Broadway star, author, illustrator, designer and entrepreneur recalls marching to protest the construction of a nuclear power plant on a fault line in California, “when I was very, very young.” . . . and an activist was born.

Given her lifelong love of and urge to protect the natural world, it’s no surprise that Brinkley was chosen to be the special honoree at this Saturday night’s SoFo goes SoHo benefit for the South Fork

Natural History Museum. “I love the museum,“ she enthused this week, “Because I think their mission statement is the same as mine, to get people to understand that nature is so important.”

Back home in the Hamptons after touring in the musical Chicago, she said, “I’ve been in the garden ever since I got back.” She described her acclaimed turn as Roxie -which involved performances on Broadway, in London and out on the road, not to mention making her debut on the stage for the first time since she was a 13-year-old in the chorus in Annie Get Your Gun -- as invigorating, and “a dream come true.”

She used the same word --

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

“invigorating” -- to express the feeling she gets from reveling in the beauty of the natural world and provide insight into her lifelong drive towards advocacy. Like lots of East Enders, she draws a sort of spiritual sustenance from the landscape. “I am never without a camera,” she said. “I’m so enamored by the beauty here. It’s wonderful.”

Brinkley spoke of favorite “little vantage points” -- the sand spit in Three Mile Harbor, Long Beach in Noyac, an area by the train tracks in Bridgehampton and other locales that boast “that infinite sky.”

“When you have a deep appreciation of everything nature offers, you are more prone to want to protect it. You appreciate how it provides for us, from the air we breathe and the water we drink to the gardens that inspire us . . . Mother Nature definitely needs allies,” she said. Brinkley credits

My level of activism really took off then.”

She’s been involved in the Global Security Institute and Standing for Truth about Radiation which was credited with shutting down the leaky Brookhaven nuclear reactors and continues to promote a healthy environment through the Northeast Organic Farming Association and East End Community Organic Farm.

She has also been honored by many distinguished organizations including the “Albert Einstein Spirit of Achievement Award.”

“Make-A-Wish Foundation,” “The March of Dimes,“ “American Heart Association“ and the “USO” for her work with forward deployed troops.

“I’m an Aquarian,” she revealed.

“So I have a very strong streak. We feel we can do anything if we all join together. I believe in the ability of one person to make a difference. I also believe in gathering everyone together to make ourselves heard . . . if you can rally people, you can make a difference and make the world a better place. I’m so honored [to be recognized by SoFo] because what they do there is rally people.”

When her modeling career took off in the 70s, Brinkley was quoted calling herself “a surfer girl from California.” She picked up the sport again recently to share with her son, Jack. You might find the ardent outdoorswoman catching a wave at Ditch Plains this summer, or sailing in Three Mile Harbor, or fishing with her “guru” Kenny from Sag Harbor.

After hectic months living her dream on the stage, she said, “I’m not the kind of person who likes to hold still, but right now it really feels good to just sit and gaze at the little cardinals and leaves blowing in the trees.” So, this summer Brinkley might also be found “lying in the grass, staring at the clouds.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

A PRISONER IN THE WAR ON WOMEN This column is a plea to Charles Schumer.

Chucky baby, lay off, I beg you, lay off.

It started when Barack “The New York Times leaks say I’m doing a great job” Obama accidentally took on the Catholic Church.

It seems that Obama Care mandates faith-based hospitals, charities and schools to provide birth control and reproductive services for all the employees in their health insurance plans. That includes priests and nuns.

The Catholic Church of course objected.

If Obama had made that suggestion at Saint Simon and Jude in my old neighborhood in Brooklyn when I lived there, Sister Mary Alice, a very, very tough old nun, would have slammed him across his knuckles with a ruler before his

Secret Service guards could stop her.

Wi s e l y, N o b e l Pe a c e P r i z e winner Barack “I try to kill at least one al Qaeda member a day” Obama retreated from his position and announced that insurance companies – not the government – would pay for free birth control and reproductive services.

Naturally the church objected to that and the war began.

No one on the Republican side had the presence of mind to call it “The Democrats’ War on Religion.”

Then some smart Democratic ad guy decided if most Republicans think that all these years of woman buying and paying for their own birth control was fine, and these same Republicans are against Obama Care, this means they object to the government paying for free birth control for every woman in the country. Thus “The Republicans’ War

on Women” was born.

What gobble-de-gook.

Chuck, no one with a brain believes that Republicans are waging a war against women.

Especially when you read the latest surveys that show 52 percent of women oppose Obama Care.

Are you saying more than half the women in this country are waging a war against themselves? “The War on Women” is campaign bull crap and you know it.

But Chuck, if Obama Care wants to hand out birth control pills like jelly beans, they will also be obligated to hand out free condoms for men.

I would suggest that every male from the age of 16 receives 10 free condoms a week in the mail.

Of course for men over 60 the government need send only one free condom a month.

Failure to do this will be seen as “The Democrats’ War on Men.” Why am I so ticked off? Because, Chuck, every week I get an e-mail under your name, from your office, that starts out “Dear Democrat.”

Then you have the chutzpah to ask me to send $50, or as much as I can, to help Obama in his valiant fight to destroy those Republicans who are waging a War on Women.

Chuck, I am many things, but the one thing that I am not is a Democrat.

Do you want to know my politics?

Here’s what I believe.

I am against telling people how to live. It’s none of my business.

If people are pro-life, I’m fine with that. If they are pro-choice, I’m fine with that, too.

If gays want to get married, I

think that’s wonderful.

If Latinos come to this country to find work, why not? They’re good people.

In the end it’s none of my business.

Here’s what should scare you, Chuck. I’m a Republican and there are millions of Republicans and Independents who feel the same way I do.

And for every Rick Santorum we have, you have a Dennis Kucinich.

We have Newt Gingrich. You have Nancy Pelosi.

You have Harry Reid. We have Mitch McConnell.

No need to hoard these dopes – both parties have enough dopes to go around.

The truth is Republicans and Democrats are much better people than you politicians who represent and try to divide us.

Now should I be wrong about all this and should one day in the mail I receive a notice from the Republican Party that reads “Greetings, you have been drafted in the Republican Party’s War on Women,” you have my word, Chuck, that I will do as so many Della Feminas have done in wars before.

I will surrender.

I expect to be put into a prisonerof-war camp and if my women guards have been reading the erotic best seller Fifty Shades of Grey, I will allow them to tie me up with clothesline and tickle me with feathers. And I promise never to invoke the Geneva Convention.

Sebonack Staying The Course With Water Quality

By Emily Toy

Representatives from Sebonack Golf Course, town officials and environmental professionals met with Southampton Town Board last Friday afternoon to review the course’s water quality from the past five years.

Situated on 300 acres in Southampton, for many, Sebonack is a golfer’s paradise. It serves as a neighbor to the historic National Golf Links of America and Shinnecock Hills Golf Course. Now slated to be the site for the 2013 U.S. Open, the course is striving to maintain its clean water quality and the agreement it shares with Southampton Town.

Back in 2009, Garret Bodington and the Sebonack Golf Club chapter were honored with an Environmental Leaders in Golf Award, an accomplishment Sebonack wishes to repeat.

Currently, the course has an excellent, green drainage system and is low on nitrate levels, with less that two milligrams per liter of nitrates in the ground water, according to certified licensed ground water professional and hydrogeology expert Thomas Cambareri.

“The town has a water quality agreement with Sebonack,” Acting Town Planning and Development Administrator Freda Eisenberg said. “There is a water monitoring protocol and we are here to walk through the report update.”

On hand for the discussion along with Eisenberg, Bodington and Cambareri, were Martin Petrovic, a professor of Turf Grass Science from Cornell University and Mark Hissey of Sebonack Golf Course.

“With the information we have

631-287TOTS 631-287-TOTS

from recent years, we have been able to map water, along with fertilizer applications, which have been staying steady,” Cambareri said.

Eisenberg reminded the town board of the town’s interest in safeguards, particularly a reduction of nitrogen fertilizer applications. “ We’re recommending two applications a year as opposed to the current four to keep down the number of nitrates in the water,”

Cambareri said. “We really want to keep those low nitrogen levels for the course. It’s important.”

Councilwoman Bridget Fleming praised Bodington and Hissey for their efforts in keeping the course a pristine area for the town. She also added how useful it is to be updated on the environmental news.

“Going forward with Poxabogue, (one of Southampton’s newest additions) it’s good information to have,” she said.

Along with the newly shortened semiannual readings, Cambareri and Petrovic recommended reporting and monitoring the course’s irrigation system as well as doing routine re-samplings of water specimens.

“Right now we have an excellent bond with the Town of Southampton,” Petrovic said. “We want to maintain that excellence and keep that going.”

No warm fuzzies between Democratic Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc and Republican Councilwoman Theresa Quigley in East Hampton Town Hall.

Disgusted About Discussions

By Kitty Merrill

Can’t they all just get along?

Apparently not.

The rift between Republicans and Democrats on the East Hampton Town Board was in full effect last Thursday night. So, too, was the continual impassioned criticism by members of the town

Democratic Committee, who appeared to complain, once again, about Supervisor Bill Wilkinson’s penchant for discussing public matters in private.

At issue last Thursday night, was a resolution designed to reorganize a handful of town departments, placing them into a newly devised Environmental

Protection Department. Helmed by recently appointed Natural Resources Director Kim Shaw, the new division, had it been approved, would have siphoned staff from the town planning department, and include the previously autonomous department that handles Community Preservation Fund tasks.

IN THE NEWS

The reorganization was not discussed publicly prior to the introduction, by Wilkinson, of the resolution. Betty Mazur and former town Councilwoman Deb Foster both worried the move harkens back to previous attempts by Republicandominated town boards to gut the planning department. Mazur noted that when officials tried in the past “the results were not what the proposers would have wished.” They were voted out of office.

As has happened repeatedly in the past, Foster’s comments triggered a shouting match between the one time councilwoman and Wilkinson. The proposal may be a great idea, she said, but failure to discuss it publicly is “fraught with disaster.”

Wilky maintained the idea has been discussed internally for months. When he defended the decision to keep the initiative secret, the supervisor reminded that he’s got 35 years of experience in corporate management. “You’re not in the corporate world anymore,” Foster exclaimed, “You’re a public servant . . . shame on you!”

“Don’t tell me what I am,” Wilkinson snapped.

“You are now stepping into a beehive,” Foster warned.

Angling for Altschuler

By Kitty Merrill

He didn’t have to . . . ahem . . . fish for compliments. Representatives from a number of fishing industry organizations gathered at the marina in the Montauk Yacht Club Monday afternoon. The reason for the confab? They joined together to offer their endorsement of Republican congressional candidate Randy Altschuler.

Against a backdrop of luxury and charter boats, Jim Hutchinson, director of the Recreational Fishing Alliance spoke of the need for change in Washington. Altschuler’s opponent, incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop “has not been a consistent voice for the needs of our Long Island recreational fisherman,” he said. Altschuler, he said, will bring a “youthful voice” to Washington.

Thanking Hutchinson, as well as representatives from the New York Fishing Tackle Trades Association and Montauk Boatmen Incorporated for offering their endorsement, Altschuler emphasized fishing as a “critical industry” on Long Island.

He said there have been 30,000 jobs lost in the district since Bishop took office, a lot of which were in the fishing industry.

Altschuler vowed to be a “strong

advocate” for using science based data to determine catch limits and holding federal regulators accountable.

John Manitone of the Tackle Trades Association noted the fishing industry represents over 300 businesses and contributes in excess of a billion dollars to the economy. It employs over 8000 people, a number that used to be 12,000. His colleagues want to see CONTINUED ON PAGE 38.

Plow Through Barn Hearing

By Kitty Merrill

Dueling legal opinions were the order of the evening. A public hearing on an application seeking approval to site a prefab barn on land that East Hampton Town owns the development rights for prompted disparate interpretations from attorneys representing farmer William Babinski and his neighbors.

And while the purpose of the hearing was to consider where the barn would be placed, the bulk of the discussion related to whether a hearing was necessary at all.

Speaking on behalf of the Babinskis, attorney David Eagan was of the mind that the hearing was redundant, unnecessary and carried the threat of additional legal

actions. (Neighbors have already sued to overturn approvals by other town agencies.)

Town attorney John Jilnicki

kicked off the proceedings with an explanation. The town has the right to review and approve agricultural buildings on property encumbered with development rights owned by the town. Sometimes the town waives the right, but in the specific case of the Babinski deal, the conservation easement doesn’t make that ability to waive clear.

Eagan disagreed. He maintained that when the town purchased the development rights to the Beach Lane, Waincott farm, the

agreement already allowed for additional agricultural structures.

In fact, the agreement set forth a building envelope where additional structures would go, making further discussion moot.

The Babinskis completed the planning process “in good faith,” Eagan informed. But just as they’d gotten approvals from the planning and architectural review boards, and the building was 80 percent completed, “in connection with a lawsuit,” town officials looked to have “an unenforceable provision of the town code enforced for the first time in history. The town board already approved the building when the transaction happened seven years ago, Eagan insisted.

The resolution adopting the sale “is effectively a construction permit.”

Babinski said that when he first wanted permission to erect the barn, he asked the planning department what he needed to do.

He said he followed all direction, took a loan and began construction.

Then, town officials came back and said the hearing was necessary.

“If I have to know everything in the town code, why do we need a planning department,” he queried to applause from the audience.

Participants can choose between a 5K, one mile, or half-mile swim.

SAA’s first swim occurred in 2000 in the Long Island Sound. The success of the event inspired Gerry Oaks (national board member and

current Suffolk/Nassau County director) to “see what we could do to bring SAA to Long Island.” Since then, the SAA Long Island chapter raised $4.8 million from multiple swimming events at various locations and the entire organization raised over $40 million.

So, where will the money from the Fresh Pond swim go? The money raised through pledges will go to specific cancer research facilities that the SAA has built a trusting relationship with over the years. Among them is Sag Harbor’s Fighting Chance, a local not-for-profit organization that’s offered free counseling and other cancer related services to cancer patients on the East End for the past 10 years.

Oaks emphasized the “first class” nature of the research being done as a direct result of SAA contributions. A larger beneficiary is Memorial Sloane Kettering, where SAA funded a cancer research lab for the past 15 years.

The head of the lab, Jedd Wolchok, said SAA has been “vital” to their research, underwriting half of the laboratory’s budget, which is named the “Swim Across America Laboratory.”

In 2011, the lab was responsible for developing ipilumumab - the first FDA-approved drug to treat melanoma in over 13 years.

Some other beneficiaries are The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, “Miracle Pavillion” at Mercy Medical Center, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

East Hampton Volunteer Ocean Rescue hosts this year’s swim. Jim Arnold is the Chairman of the Open Waters Swim Committee.

Participants can join together to make “teams” to raise money collectively. Last year’s biggest earner was Team Tarlow and Hand, headed

by Wendy Tarlow. Tarlow decided to participate in Swim to Fight Cancer after she was diagnosed with Follicular Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma two years ago.

Although her battle has been strenuous, Tarlow continues to conjure the strength to swim, to motivate herself, aid others, and contribute to the amazing research she trusts. Tarlow said participants can be “cancer survivors or current battlers who need to face their challenges and prove they can still move.”

Tarlow related the story of her friend Holly Stott, who recently passed away, speaking of her immense determination and courage.

Even though Stott was told she would not be strong enough, she swam in the event last year. Stott’s brother and sister are participating CONTINUED ON PAGE 26.

Radio Club Event Members of the Bonac Amateur Radio Club will be demonstrating their emergency capabilities on June 23 and 24 from 2 PM Saturday until 2 PM Sunday at Theodore Roosevelt Park.

Over the past few years, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications in emergencies worldwide. During Hurricane Katrina, Amateur Radio – also called “Ham Radio” – was often the only way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer “hams” traveled south to save lives and

property.

When trouble is brewing, ham radio people are often the first to provide critical information and communications. On the weekend of June 23 and 24, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with these ham radio operators and see for themselves what Amateur Radio Service is all about. Showing the newest digital and satellite capabilities, voice communications and even historical Morse code, hams from across the United States will be holding public demonstrations of emergency communication abilities.

This annual event, called “Field Day” is the climax of the week-long “Amateur Radio Week” sponsored

by ARRL, the National Association for Amateur Radio.

Jamesport

Cemetery Tour The concluding “History at the Meeting House” program will be a tour of the 1732 Jamesport Cemetery at 7 PM next Wednesday with Danny Griffin, president of the Jamesport Cemetery Association. There is a $5 suggested donation to benefit the Cemetery Association. Meet at the west entrance of the cemetery on the Main Road, opposite Grana Pizza.

This cemetery, organized in 1732 just a year after the construction of the Jamesport Meeting House, is the oldest in Riverhead and one of the oldest on the North Fork. It is the resting place of many of the town’s pioneer settlers. It also has the full sequence of early gravestone designs as the Puritan “death heads” gradually morphed into “soul effigies” and winged angles over the course of the 18th century. Then, as Victorian sentimentality replaced Puritan austerity, the gravestone carvers switched to the weeping willow and urn design, with lots of mawkish quotes.

Danny Griffin has a wealth of interesting stories about the people buried there. Next Wednesday is the longest day of the year, so there will be plenty of light.

RICK’S SPACE Of Rice And Men I don’t know where I got the crazy idea to make sushi, but one night I decided to try.

I am the kind of person that goes all the way. I’m all in. I don’t do things half ass or leave things half-done, although I admit, in a moment of candor, that I have a lot of half-baked ideas.

“Ahhhhh! Miyagi make sticky lice!” I roared one evening in the kitchen.

Karen has learned from experience to be wary of such proclamations, because they almost always involve my wasting large sums of money and making a terrible mess.

“Danielson eat sushi! Miyagi make!” I said.

I had already been to King Kullen in Bridgehampton, which has an excellent sushi take-out selection back by the seafood. I could have picked up two or three trays at $6 or $7 bucks a pop and been done with it. But not Miyagi.

I bought an avocado, a cucumber,

a box of sticky rice, a box of seaweed paper, a rolling mat, crab legs, a piece of tuna, and some salmon.

Then I bought a sushi knife at T.J. Maxx. And, of course, Miyagi buy saki. I had to go back out and make a second trip to the store: buy rice vinegar. Then, back to the store again -- buy wasabi. Buy pickled ginger.

Finally, I sprang for some caviar.

By now I had rung up a $200 bill.

“Miyagi might have to sell antique car,” I said to myself.

Time to make sticky lice er . . . er, rice. The instructions were kind of silly. Take a cup of rice and a cup of water plus four and a half teaspoons of water. Must let boil on high heat for exactly two minutes. Must let simmer for exactly 15 minutes. Must then uncover and place towel over pot.

Miyagi make own rules. Fifteen minutes later Miyagi throw out burned rice and start over, this time following directions.

Finally, around 8 PM, Miyagi ready to make California Roll. Sticky rice very sticky, stick all over everything.

I finally spread the rice on a sheet of nori (that’s what we call seaweed paper in Japan), turned it over, filled it with crab, cucumber and avocado, and began to roll it as I was taught by my ancient forefathers in the Orient (Ok, I watched a lesson on YouTube).

It didn’t go well.

Miyagi getting sticky rice stuck all over everything.

The thing that emerged from the rolling mat appeared to be a recently slaughtered reptile. It was now time to cut it into pieces.

Danielson, I mean Karen, was getting very hungry, and when she gets hungry she becomes a tad irritable, kind of like a hornet that you take a swat at, only 100 times worse. In other words, she was buzzing violently and her stinger was loaded with poison.

“I’ll just have a peanut butter sandwich,” she said through gritted teeth.

“No!” Miyagi said sternly. “Miyagi make Danielson proper Japanese meal!”

Unfortunately, the blood was getting all over everything, and the sticky rice was turning red.

Miyagi not realize sushi knife so sharp!

Any reasonable man would have given up at this point but not Miyagi, although I had to use karate to fend off Danielson as I prepared a new batch. This time I succeeded

rolling the nori – even with the bandages on my finger – and made a California Roll, though it didn’t really look like a California Roll – it was more like an Idaho Roll. Then, I made a Spicy Tuna Roll, but I forgot the spice so I put some Mexican Hot Sauce on the thing -- Danielson won’t know the difference, I figured – at this point she’s lapsing into a coma from the lack of food and the karate blows. Then I produced a Salmon Roll.

Finally, it was ready to serve.

I topped each piece with a little caviar, poured us a little saki (there was only a little left, because I was drinking the bottle while I prepared the mess -- er, I mean, food) put a dab of wasabi and a little pickled ginger on the plate. I found a couple sets of chopsticks.

I helped Danielson to the table.

After five minutes I got up and grabbed a fork – Miyagi not vely good with chopsticks, especially with bloodied, bandaged fingers. I dipped a piece of the roll in wasabi and popped it in my mouth.

“Ouch! Wasabi clear Miyagi sinuses!

Wasabi hurt!” Of course, my saki cup was empty, so I grabbed a bottle of water and sucked it down.

“How do you like your sushi, dear?” Karen asked with perhaps a faint amount of sarcasm.

“Danielson clean up kitchen while Miyagi meditate,” I replied.

And that’s why we don’t have sushi anymore.

EDITORIAL Once the town board asked the Suffolk County District Attorney to look into Cohen’s charges that the owners of the Ronjo Motel were being given special treatment, it was time for Cohen to put up or shut up. He did neither.

Even after being questioned by an investigator, Cohen stubbornly refused to back down.

The DA has now exonerated the town officials of any wrongdoing, and rebuked Cohen in the strongest of terms, stating his accusations were “totally without merit.”

This is not the first time Cohen has been reprimanded by the powers that be. The state comptroller also chastised Cohen after he claimed he was working closely with that office during the McGintee scandal. In reality he was no more than a gadfly bothering state auditors when they had more important things to do.

Cohen, ever talkative, is suddenly MIA; he needs to explain himself and his rationale for making unfounded charges.

The Democrats have two secure seats on the town board, and all three Republican seats are up for grabs next year. It seemed a fait accompli they would win control; now all bets are off. Politics is indeed a funny game.

Independent/James J. Mackin

Zack’s Attacks Zachary Cohen, who narrowly missed becoming East Hampton town supervisor by a scant 15 votes last November, has been itching for a rematch ever since.

Instead, his standing as a viable and popular politician is in shambles, and it is safe to assume he will be passed over when the Democrats choose their next candidate for the top spot.

It all came crashing down because Cohen made accusations he couldn’t back up, and refused to apologize even after it became obvious he was going to get slapped down.

Independent VOICES

Call Us Irresponsible Dear Editor, What an irresponsible editorial about Mayor Bloomberg’s large sugary drink ban.

Type 2 diabetes, which is a largely preventable disease due to lifestyle choices, is on the increase with more children than ever being diagnosed each year.

A diagnosis by age 15 will most probably result in heart disease, kidney problems and many other complications by the age of 35. By the year 2040 one in three

Americans are predicted to have type 2 diabetes resulting in a huge public health time bomb.

For you to say this is a private matter is shameful when this largely preventable disease is costing this country over $170 billion annually. If people cannot take a responsible approach for their own health then someone has to do it for them, especially as the cost will affect everyone in the long run.

CHRISTINE SEPHTON Editor’s Note: With all due respect, you missed our point. Liquor and cigarettes kill millions of people each year yet they are legal. It is not government’s job to tell

East Hampton’s Reorganization East Hampton’s reshuffling of town employees is the latest chapter in what has, in its totality, been a well thought out streamlining that makes us realize anew how bloated municipal governments and our school districts are.

The reorganization in East Hampton will save millions of dollars down the road, and so far, with some relatively minor complaints, efficiency has been maintained.

There is one asterisk attached, of course: the latest move weakens the planning department, and Supervisor Bill Wilkinson and Councilwoman Theresa Quigley especially have been lobbing grenades that way since Quigley took office last year.

Another potential problem is the Community Preservation Fund management will morph into the Natural Resources Department, a dangerous weakening of its autonomy. Given the fact the town board has erased a $30 million deficit and rebuilt the Community Preservation Fund from near ruin, we’re willing to give the latest plan a thorough airing. We can only hope it is business, not personal.

It’s the responsibility of parents to make sure their children live a healthy lifestyle.

Painful

To The Editor, This letter is painful to write. Over the last several years I have had the honor to interact with John Behan on a number of events relating to support for veterans and active duty troops. We even went on LTV together to counter some of the nonsense put out by the East End Vets on their LTV show. And as a Republican Committeeman,

I of course worked with him when he was our Chairman.

I was lucky in Vietnam. I was stationed in Saigon and came home after fifteen months without a scratch. John was not so lucky. He lost both legs in service to his country. But he didn’t let that stop him.

He went on to play for the US Paralympic basketball team, then served 18 years as a Republican NY State Assemblyman. He came out of retirement to become chair of our local Republican Party and helped lead us to a huge victory over the corrupt and incompetent Democrat regime then running the Town.

Now it seems John has turned that Continued on page 22.

distinguished and honorable record completely on its head by endorsing Tim Bishop, a man whose voting record is so left wing, so harmful to our economy and to the military John so honorably served, that it flies in the face of everything John has previously espoused. Bishop has supported Obama’s insanely irresponsible spending and his unconstitutional mandates and czars, and has by his silence endorsed the vile comments about our troops made by his Democratic colleagues like Senator Durbin.

So why would John Behan do such a thing? John has implied that he was treated badly by the Committee at the time he stepped down as chair. This is not so. He was given a warm and grateful farewell both at a Committee meeting and at a dinner in his honor. I know. I was there.

The only reason for his turnabout seems to be that the Committee did not nominate his wife Marylyn to run for Town Board in last year’s election. The reason was simple: Marylyn is a registered Democrat and did not want to change parties. Why would the Republican Party nominate a member of the party that had just been ousted because it had managed to “lose” 30 million dollars? No matter his long association with the party, this was clearly an impossible request under the circumstances.

John, come to your senses. This decision is unworthy of you and of your history.

Re: Jerry’s Ink Jerry, What a great article for so many reasons! First, that Goldstein and Nardico did indeed beat you on total points scored that reunion night and so much earlier in life. And certainly now as male adults we sometimes wonder, what’s the point of today’s wealth, fame and success having missed out on the likes of a Ms. Debarto?

I’m happy to say that I didn’t miss much back then, starting with my high school art teacher, who made out with me in the art class supply room one day. It was hot and while I never ever made it to third base with her, it was the beginning and hope of better things to come in general. Which soon came to pass because many thought I was a very good looking kid; the lead singer in a popular local garage band; and the founding president of Hewlett’s first ever roughneck HS fraternity Kappa Delta Nu (not a welcomed event in

By Karen Fredericks

Describe your father or share a memory of him.

Susan Palmer My father was a policeman in Brighton, England. He wasn’t strict at home because he had to be strict on the job. Whenever they were going to raid the coffee bars for hashish smoking and the like he’d warn me and my friends to stay away. I really appreciated that.

Katrina Harris My father is a very kind and generous man and he always puts his kids first. He’s a really good person. And he’s a cowboy. I’m from Texas.

And he’s a really good cowboy. So we’ve always had horses. But most of all he’s a really, really good father.

Eileen McHugh My father came from Ireland looking for a better life. He lived in The Bronx and came to Montauk to fish. He was amazing. He worked so hard. And he made education for his children his first priority. And we all got Bachelors and Masters degrees and beyond.

Jamie Boening He’s very funny and outgoing and sarcastic but in a very funny way. In some ways he’s spoiled me. He’s in computers and he’s really smart.

He’s inspired me in certain ways. He travels a lot and sees a lot of the world and that’s made me want to travel too.

The Five Towns, for sure.) But I digress.

Because I also took algebra, geometry, biology, world history and language, I was smart enough not to tell anyone about art class. Why would I do that? Reporting it to my parent or authorities? What!? As the old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

On the other hand, if you had continued your discussion with Goldstein at the reunion about total points scored in life, I’m sure you would have slam dunked him in a blink and left him walking away with a whimper. In the end, who is to say which is better? But there’s nothing like a Ms. Debarto in one’s memories.

LOL, BILL CRANDALL

Desperation And Weakness Dear Editor, In his rematch with NYCD-1 incumbent Tim Bishop, Randy Altschuler is leaving nothing to chance. After losing the 2010 congressional race by a mere 593 votes out of 196,000 cast, this time around Altschuler is making it a point to fire back at what he calls Bishop’s “misleading attacks” and “in some cases, downright lies.”

To me, this sounds eerily similar to the 1980 presidential election when incumbent President Jimmy Carter tried desperately to deflect from his abysmal record by trying to paint Ronald Reagan

as a “warmonger” who would “blow up the world.” And like Altschuler is doing now, at every opportunity Reagan defended himself and set the record straight leading to an unprecedented electoral landslide against a sitting American president.

And in retrospect, given the outcome of the 8 year Reagan presidency in which the Cold War was won without a shot being fired, Carter’s charge could not have been proven more spectacularly wrong and disingenuous.

As I see it, Bishop attacking Altschuler’s phenomenally successful business record is nothing more than a Carter-like show of desperation and weakness. If Altschuler just keeps up with thwarting these lame attacks, the outcome will very likely send Bishop to the “ash heap of history” where he and his liberal policies so rightly belong.

EUGENE DUNN

An Outsiders View Dear Editor, When I see Mr. Musnick up on old Bessy, proud in cutoff Dickies, I remember.

When I see the water come alive, I remember.

When I see Jimmy Pike setting up shop, my table complete, I remember.

Ponquogue Beach rocked out last Friday night at the Southampton Town Youth Bureau’s tenth annual Battle of the Bands.

A pit formed as 2012 Hampton Idol Finalist Sarah Hartman took the stage to start the night. She played her original song “Fisherman’s Wife” as well as a Cat Steven’s number on the ukulele.

Ten bands fought it out, with Creatures of Habit, comprised of students from Westhampton Beach High School scoring first place.

Bad Execution, also from WHBHS placed second, and The Entertainment, with members from

Center Moriches and Hampton Bays, came in third. All place winners were given prizes in cash and gift certificates. Creatures of Habit earned a performance spot on the Youth Bureau’s float in the annual Southampton Fourth of July parade.

Emcee Joe Rock of WBAB presided over the event, announcing bands and providing commentary, while the sound was engineered by Dark Fader Productions and Joe and Dan Brown. Judges of local fame were Bonnie Grice, Ed “Panama” Arguello, Charles Certain and Eva Adalai.

Is Plum Island Enough?

Democratic Congressman Tim Bishop continued his campaign to cut federal funding for the proposed National Bio and Agro Defense Facility in Manhattan, Kansas this week.

The $1 billion cost of building NBAF is excessive, he said. Also, research necessary to protect the nation’s livestock is already being conducted at Plum Island Animal Disease Center.

Located just north of Orient Point, the animal disease center supports 200 local jobs, and other government labs. The facility currently focuses on the protection of livestock from diseases stemming from outside of the United States.

Bishop said the government should not waste money on the NBAF, which, in his opinion, is superfluous. “Funding for the construction of NBAF is tantamount to a $75 million earmark for the Kansas delegation . . . Funds were not included in the President’s budget, and the project has yet to spend the money it already has,” he said.

Colleagues in the house passed the bill despite Bishop’s opposition.

MBI president Captain Rick Etzel was succinct. “We haven’t had representation since [former state assembly speaker of the house] Perry Duryea was in office. We want Randy to put us back on the map again.”

East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson believes he will.

Altschuler’s visited the East End and spoken to fishermen several times, which Wilkinson sees as evidence of the candidate’s dedication to ensuring the viability of the

industry.

“I’ve met with Randy numerous times and spoken to him about how fishing is part of the fabric of who we are out on the East End,” Captain Joe McBride MBI’s legislative representative said in a release accompanying the press conference. “His willingness to truly learn about these issues and not just pay lip service is very important to me. I feel very good about this endorsement and about having Randy as our next congressman.”

Altschuler reminded that his recently released 10-point job plan includes a section devoted to the fishing industry. The plan is available for extended perusal on his website. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Disgust

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8. also took the podium to weigh in on the proposal. Like Foster, he was a long time member of the planning board prior to his service on the town board. He said discussion of the proposal as it pertains to individual employees may occur in executive session, but the creation of a new department “is clearly not executive session material.”

Potter’s comments prompted a lengthy discussion on the dais among members of the town board, with Wilkinson and Councilwoman Theresa Quigley, the Republicans, attempting to justify their idea and Democratic board members Sylvia Overby and Peter Van Scoyoc asking for additional public discussion prior to a vote.

Van Scoyoc said problems could arise if the CPF function is overseen by a division with regulatory powers.

Why? Putting acquisition of land and its regulation under the same roof gives the appearance that the town could be using its regulatory authority to drive down the price of land it’s trying to acquire. That’s an “inherent conflict,” said Van Scoyoc.

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

Quigley didn’t get it. She noted that another department under the umbrella, aquaculture, doesn’t have a regulatory function. Therefore the whole division isn’t regulatory.

Van Scoyoc and Overby both served on the planning board for years; Wilkinson and Quigley never did. Van Scoyoc noted that changing certain duties could result in applicants having to interact with an additional department, meaning the plan would be less efficient than what currently exists. Quigley questioned and disagreed with her colleague until Mazur stood up in the audience.

The discourse on the dais “just shows how much we need more discussion,” she exclaimed, urging the board to postpone the vote.

Overby noted more discussion had just occurred than the board “ever” had in an executive session. She said she believes that the changes would require an amendment to the town code, which specifies which duties will be undertaken by planning staff. Wilkinson said he’d already been advised by town attorney John Jilnicki that no code change was necessary. “It would have been nice to have been part of the

conversation,” Van Scoyoc intoned.

Despite the protracted debate, Wilkinson offered the resolution for a vote. It failed, with Councilman Dominick Stanzione absent from the proceedings and both Democrats asking to table the matter for further discussion. Wilkinson and Quigley wouldn’t vote to table the measure, so it failed.

Quigley criticized the Democrats for asking to have items put off for discussion. “We keep putting things off,” she complained. Wilky agreed, prompting Van Scoyoc to note, “There are other members of the board besides you and Theresa.”

Also last Thursday night Rona Klopman had a different complaint, though it followed the theme of transparent government. She noted the supervisor proposed creating an auditing committee, and named himself, plus Quigley and two Republican operatives to it. That the resolution naming the members was already crafted when the idea was brought up at a work session “startled me,” Klopman said.

When Wilkinson presented the resolution for a vote, the Democrats asked to table it for discussion.

Again, the Republicans wouldn’t vote to table and the measure failed.

Quigley proceeded to attempt to make a point, stating for each of the next 10 resolutions – for such things as a mass gathering permit for a Kindergarten beach day – that she wanted to table them for additional discussion.

A final resolution, to apply for a grant to upgrade the sanitary system at the Three Mile Harbor Mobile Home Park, also failed.

Overby and Van Scoyoc wanted to know more about the measure and asked to discuss it. Wilkinson and Quigley refused. ”So, it got turned down because somebody didn’t want to talk about it,” Van Scoyoc commented.

Wilkinson pointed out that 16 families that have a “dire situation” will have to wait for relief, and Van Scoyoc retorted, “You can spin it anyway you want to, Bill.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

The Pierson-Bridgehampton baseball team ended up being the last local team standing, finally succumbing in the state quarterfinals.

The Long Island champions, who have found hits hard to come by in the tournament, ran into another tough pitcher last Wednesday in the person of Haldane’s Ryan Koval at Manhattanville College. This time, the lack of run support hurt the Whalers.

Koval, a junior, hurled a three hitter, striking out five in the process. That was enough for the Blue Devils, who also struggled for runs – fortunately, Koval had that aspect of the game covered as well.

He legged out a ground ball in the first inning with two outs that

Pierson’s Ride Finally Ends

brought home a run, and he laced another single in the third to make it a 2-0 affair.

Jake Bennett, Pierson’s pitcher, wiggled out of trouble for the most part, keeping his team in contention.

It simply wasn’t meant to be. Tim Markowski, Sean Hartnett, and Paul Dorego had the three hits for the losers, who finished 21-4 in what was a spectacular season.

Haldane didn’t stop there, besting Voorheesville 6-0 on Saturday in a state semifinal game. This time it was the other ace of the Blue Devils, Dan Kinnaird, who did the honors, hurling Haldane’s third straight shutout, a 6-0 complete game win.

Kinnaird also hurled a shutout in a regional semifinal game last week.

Later that day, though Haldane got brought back to earth. Rather

than risk using Koval in two days rest coach Tom Virgadamo gave the nod to junior John Rotando, who lasted just one and two-thirds

innings against Lansing and giving up all five runs. Koval then came in and hurled a masterpiece, giving up no runs and retiring 12 straight batters, but it was too late for the Blue Devils, who finish at 20-4.

Pierson has to be content with winning the Suffolk County Class C championship and the Long Island Class C – not too shabby.

aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities, and fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use on the water. Zero tolerance is the posture, then and now.

Booze kills.

Operation DryWater Operation DryWater gets underway over the weekend of June 22 to 24. This column is to get you focused on that, and all that it implies.

Are We Tough Enough?

You’ve seen me say here that I just don’t think we are. Drunk driving, whether in a car or in a boat, is one place where I actually feel the legal penalties are too lenient.

If a person, uninfluenced by booze, drove a car or a boat recklessly and hurt or even killed someone, they would get a more severe sentencing in many jurisdictions than doing the same thing “under the influence.”

I for one think it should be the opposite. If you had the forethought to take a drink or two before driving, you had better be thinking of the consequences.

In past ages, drinking and still being able to drive, might have been considered a badge of honor in certain circles. Today, thank goodness, it is considered reckless lunacy. And things are worse on the water than on the land, for a given level of alcohol.

Oh That Swaying Feeling Often times, when I come in from a boat ride with the family, some of the more lubberly members say, “I can still feel the swaying!” If they happen to jump in the shower, it really gets intensified and they joke that they had to hold on to the wall to keep from tipping over.

This is clear evidence of the dramatic impact the marine environment has on the body’s sensory perception system. While boating, we are confronted with conflicting information from the eyes, feet and inner ear. The horizon is constantly moving – up, down and sideways – as the boat moves beneath our feet.

Our conscious brain has no problem with intellectualizing this, but the unconscious part of our brain is getting sensory overload. This can result in reactions ranging from slight queasiness to absolutely debilitating nausea.

The marine environment is full of “stressors.” The sun, glare, vibration, to name a few, are all pretty common out there. Stressors intensify the effects of alcohol, drugs and some medications. They can cause fatigue, reduced coordination, weak judgment, and slow reaction time.

Forget about the vision of the St. Bernard saving you from the cold by

giving you brandy. Alcohol makes the body more susceptible to the effects of cold water, not less.

Not surprisingly, all of this adds to boating accidents. U.S. Coast Guard data shows that, in boating deaths involving driving under the influence, more than half the victims capsized their boats and/ or fell overboard. Over one in five boating deaths are linked to the use of alcohol.

BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go direct to the D1SR Human Resources department, who are in charge of new members matters, and we will help you “get in this thing.”

The Law Every state in the union prohibits the operation of a boat while under the influence of alcohol. The US Coast Guard, as a federal entity, enforces a federal law that prohibits Boating Under the Influence.

This law pertains to every vessel, foreign or domestic, operating in U.S. waters, as well as U.S. vessels on the high seas. Penalties may include fines, jail, and impoundment of boats and, in some states, the loss of boating and/or driving privileges.

(See table below.)

Back in 2008, Operation Dry Water was started in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard, the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and partner agencies. It is a national weekend of BUI detection and enforcement

Seabass Waiting To Be Taken Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean The striped bass bite has been good for the clam chummers at both the inlet and bridge. Either tide has been producing as long as you have moving water. Drifted live baits and fresh chunks have seen decent results too.

The fluke bite remains best on the western part of Shinnecock

Bay. Bucktailers have done well tipping their lures with spearing.

The smaller the bucktail the bigger the fluke. Bites have been better on the outgoing tide. Ocean fluking remains tough, with some reports of shorts but not many.

The seabass are on the local wrecks and reef, and should be good for the opening on Friday. Blues

Big blues are on the bottom in the inlet if you want to tangle with an alligator.

Peconic Bay The porgy bite has been off but should rebound quickly once the spawn is over. Blues are all over and fluke are there but it’s been tough to find keepers. A few weakfish are still in the area if you know where to look.

Surf/Shore Bound/Canal The canal has seen the first of

the trigger fish this week with fluke, some blowfish and blues rounding out the mix. The Ponquogue Bridge is holding its share of bass with a few fluke as well.

The Shinnecock Inlet continues to produce bass on bucktails tipped with pork rind working the bottom.

Best tides have been the slower moving water of either tide. Signs of life on the south facing beaches this week. Both bass and blues falling for bucktails and tins.
