Voters heading to the booth next Tuesday will confront contradiction. Most would argue that in the presidential race, their decision will boil down to “the lesser of two evils.” As of this writing, the polls have the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump too close to call. It’s hard to believe voters won’t be holding their noses as they fill in the little circles on the ballot for POTUS. On the opposite side of the coin, we have our candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives – incumbent Congressman Lee Zeldin (Republican) and challenger Anna Throne-Holst running on the Democratic line. We see the choice in this race as a call to choose the greater of two goods. Both candidates have dedicated a large portion of their professional lives to public and
community service. Zeldin served in the Army, was deployed overseas, a member of the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division. He continues to serve in the Army Reserves with the rank of Major. Throne-Holst worked at the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping. Locally, she was a co-founder of the Hayground School and as executive director of the Bridgehampton Child Care Center, she tended to the needs of area low income families. Both candidates are brilliant. At just 23, Zeldin graduated law school becoming the state’s youngest attorney. Throne-Holst holds a master’s degree in Public Administration from Columbia University School of International Affairs. Zeldin brings wisdom from his experience in Congress and the state senate to the table, and while he’s

I’M SO CONFUSED
Nothing is as it seems. Many of you reading this have great-great-grandparents who are exactly my age, and I’m sure you’ve noticed that, at times, little simple things confuse them. Let’s take “Cars for Kids.” I know you’ve heard their hideous radio commercials. They spend millions of dollars on the radio talking about Cars for Kids, and they never tell you what it’s all about. What’s more, they have a stupid cutesy logo and they call themselves Kars4Kids, which is a nightmare for those who are as spelling-challenged as I am. So now, after ten years of radio commercials hammering “Cars for Kids” into our brains, does anyone reading this really know what they do? Feeling impish the other day (and desperate for a column idea), I decided to call Kars4Kids and put them to the test. A nice young woman answered the phone. I said, “Hello, my name is Jerry. Is this Cars for Kids?” “Yes it is,” came the bright, sunny reply.
“Well, I have five kids,” I said. “That’s nice,” said the happy voice on the other side of the phone. “I have five kids and I was wondering if I could give you one of them in exchange for a BMW. “I know a BMW is an expensive car, but this kid’s college education cost me $80,000, and that doesn’t even include being ripped off by some expensive tutors to nail the SATs.” “Excuse me?” said the nice woman. Now her voice was a little shaky. “You give cars for kids, and I wonder if you can give me a BMW for one of mine? If the BMW is too expensive, I would take a used BMW, or even a new Honda Accord.” That’s when the Kars4Kids woman hung up the phone in my ear. I guess I’ll never find out what it is they do, and where do kids come in? Is it a charity or a scam? Now let’s talk about politics. I’m so, so confused about politics, ever since the news broke on Friday that involved the FBI going into Anthony Weiner’s computer and finding emails that were sent out
REAL ESTATE
by, or to, Hillary Clinton. What’s Hillary doing in Anthony Weiner’s computer? I hope she washes her hands with a strong soap after she touches his keyboard. And have I got this right? How is this threatening Hillary Clinton’s election? For a second on Friday I was confused enough listening to the CNN newscasters – who were hilariously hysterical – that I thought they were talking about Anthony Weiner sending out nude pictures of himself and Hillary sending out nude pictures of herself on Wiener’s computer. I remember thinking, “Is this a sadistic ‘perv’ ring led by the sultry Huma?” But after a restless night’s sleep I decided all they were talking about was the same old server stuff. That made me mad. Because if all we’re talking about is those freaking so-called classified emails, let’s give it a rest. No one cares, or should care, about those emails. Hillary did something stupid and had her own server in her house. She has said she made a mistake. If you’re wondering about security, let me assure you there is no longer any security issue. There’s a little 14-year-old boy in China who knows enough about computers to effortlessly hack into the White House computers and start World War III to amuse himself. If you want to panic, think about what a geeky, stoned college kid in Topeka, Kansas, can do by hacking and shutting down the nation’s infrastructure. Our biggest danger isn’t ISIS. Our biggest danger is our own computers. Just because I mentioned

a nude Hillary Clinton, WikiLeaks is now reading this column as I am typing it. And as for this presidential race: I’m a Republican who happens to think that Donald Trump is capable of destroying this country. He must be stopped. Just about every Republican I know, who has a brain, feels the same way. The following paragraphs from Max Boot’s great column in “USA Today” should tell you what Trump is all about. I may be confused, but Max Boot (who is a Republican conservative, not a liberal Democrat weenie) is brilliant. Here’s what he has to say about Trump: “Think she (Hillary) has ethics issues? Trump faces a civil trial for fraud over Trump University. He has denounced illegal immigration while employing illegal immigrants to build his buildings. He claimed to have donated $102 million to charity without giving a penny of his own money. He is a pathological liar who keeps repeating falsehoods — such as his claim to have opposed the Iraq War — long after they have been debunked. According to Politico, he lies an average of once every three minutes and 15 seconds. “When Trump speaks, he offends. He insulted a Gold Star family, called U.S. troops thieves, and said that John McCain isn’t a hero. He mocked a disabled reporter. He said that Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who was born in Indiana, isn’t fit to preside over his fraud trial cause because he’s “Mexican.” He spent years pushing offensive claims that Barack Obama, the first AfricanAmerican president, wasn’t born in America. He has run the most blatantly racist campaign since George Wallace. “It’s almost an afterthought, but Trump does have policy proposals — and they would be ruinous if implemented. He thinks that NATO, the most successful alliance in history, is obsolete. He threatens to pull troops out of South Korea and Japan, and he doesn’t care whether this leads to nuclear proliferation. He wants to order U.S. troops to commit war crimes by killing relatives of terrorists and torturing terrorist suspects. He vows to launch trade wars that will cost millions of jobs.” Thanks, Max. I’m no longer confused. Note to any one of my five kids who may be reading this: I didn’t mean you, I meant one of the others.

★★★★★★ Election 2016 ★★★★★★ Independent Endorsement
For State Offices
Independent Editorial Board
Is anybody even running against these guys? A contentious presidential race and a super spendy congressional campaign – contenders Lee Zeldin and Anna Throne-Holst ran campaigns with expenditures in the millions – place the local race for state offices squarely on the sidelines. And for good reason. Once again Senator Ken LaValle and Assemblyman Fred Thiele are running unopposed. Well, almost unopposed, with mere placeholders taking spots on the ballot, but foregoing the pesky “running a campaign” effort. Senator LaValle was first elected in 1976. That’s 40 years he’s been representing the interests of District 1, which is comprised of the five East End towns and a portion of Brookhaven Town. He’s chair of the Senate Majority Committee and with a degree in education (among other diplomas) his focus on higher education helped shape state policy for over 30 years. On the East End, his legacy will undoubtedly be the Community Preservation Fund legislation which he co-authored with Assemblyman Thiele. Thiele has “only” served in elected positions since 1989. Voters sent him to the county legislature
that year. After a subsequent stint as Southampton Town supervisor, he was elected to the assembly in 1995. The pair started out running as Republicans, and LaValle has
retained his political affiliation throughout his career. In 2010 Thiele handily won a re-election bid after officially switching to the Independence Party. He’s the only Independent in the Assembly. This dynamic duo has done well by us, lo, these many, many years. Endorsing Ken LaValle for senate and Fred Thiele for assembly is a no-brainer. In the second district we have incumbent Republican Anthony Palumbo running for re-election
against challenger Michael Conroy. Palumbo won his seat in 2014 with 63 percent of the vote. Conroy ran against LaValle in 2014 and lost spectacularly, garnering only 28 percent of the vote to the incumbent’s 66 percent. Like his District 1 counterparts, Palumbo is running largely unopposed, despite a placeholder name on the ballot. His candidacy is another case of constituents following a credo of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it;” his endorsement another given.

Proposition 1 Independent Editorial Board
It’s almost a decade now since The Independent commenced an investigation into East Hampton Town finances that led to the arrest of its budget officer and the resignation of its supervisor. The investigation lasted well over a year and, although Indy was dismissed and dissed as acting out of political bias, in the end reports from the Office of the State Comptroller and the Suffolk
County District Attorney validated all we told you first. Ke y a m o n g t h e f i n a n c i a l finagling perpetrated by disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee’s administration was the misuse of Community Preservation Fund monies. Tens of millions of dollars from the dedicated fund were diverted to cover general operating expenses, contrary to the law that established the CPF, passed by voters in 1999. As Indy’s investigation progressed more and more insiders contacted us with news of the latest raid of the fund. Many of
the secret callers were aligned with local environmental groups. They provided info, but begged anonymity because they couldn’t publicly criticize the Democratic Party’s top dog. As the scandal blossomed, the enviros began to speak on the record excoriating McGintee for messing with the beloved CPF. (Local taxpayers are still paying off what it cost to make the fund whole.) We bring this not so ancient history up because many of the same enviros are on record passionately supporting Proposal Number 1. The list is long, marked by the names of pretty much every local leader and green leaning organization. We wish details of the proposal,

specifically how it will work, were as comprehensive as the list of supporters. As publicized, the proposal seeks voter approval to extend the CPF to 2050 and to use up to 20 percent of the funds collected through a two-percent transfer tax on most real estate transfers for water protection projects. It’s hard to come out in opposition to extending the CPF -- though it’s already in place until 2030. And how can anybody say they’re not in favor of protecting water resources? Isn’t everybody? We’re worried. We’re worried that the proposal was somewhat sprung on voters and we’re worried it hasn’t been thoroughly vetted. We’re worried the mechanism for deciding exactly who will benefit isn’t locked down. How will officials decide worthy projects to underwrite? What kind of oversight will that decision-making process undergo? There are still far more question marks attached to Proposal One than we’re comfortable with. But we’re less comfortable with the threats to our water that grow each day. We know old septic systems are a key culprit and their replacement is costly. They need to go and if government can help homeowners upgrade, we’re all for it. Officials have been vague when it comes to rolling out the precise procedures for selecting which homeowners will enjoy the benefit of new septic systems paid for by area taxpayers. They claim plans will be methodically developed after the proposition passes. We’d prefer the cart be placed after the horse. Still, we can’t bring ourselves to vote against measures designed to protect our vulnerable water systems. The Independent offers a qualified “yes” vote for Proposal One and a vow. We’ll be watching.

★★★★★★ Election 2016 ★★★★★★ Generation X: Front and Center By Camila Tucci
I think we can all agree that we cannot wait until this election is over. Policy has taken a backseat to the countless scandals that have ambushed our newsfeeds. As college students protest around their campuses, Gen X waits and listens closely to each candidate and takes it from there. Generation X members are America’s neglected middle children. Generation X ranges from 3449 year olds. They aren’t quite millennials although they sometime wish they were and they aren’t old enough to be baby boomers yet. This demographic that is kind of stuck in the middle innings of life are looking into the future and paying close attention to policies regarding social security and retirement. Baby boomers who are in their seventh inning stretch have the same concerns. Baby Boomers have seen our country go through many wars, an economic crisis, September 11, the president being assassinated, same sex marriage becoming legal, and most recently the first woman in history to win the presidential nomination from a major party. They have seen a lot and expect a lot when it comes to a president. Issues such as social security and retirement are on the top of their list when it comes to policy. On Long Island, middle class generation Xers think that Donald Trump will do a better job than Hillary Clinton when it comes to these issues. An AARP commissioned Siena College survey found that Trump beat out Clinton on both protecting social security (53 to 29 percent) and retirement (48 to 31percent). Overall Trump did better in this demographic with 46 percent compared to Clinton’s 36. A similar survey that instead was taken statewide had very different results. Clinton crushed Trump on social security (57 to 31 percent) and retirement (55-30 percent). “More than nine out of 10 Long Island Gen Xers and Boomers say it’s a problem for New Yorkers to save enough for retirement. They should know; they’re living it,” said Don Levy, Director of the Siena College Research Institute. This is where Gen Xers’ and Boomers’ concerns
View our Pic Paper edition at

stem from. They are currently living through relying on retirement or are trying
to prepare themselves for when they will. Gen Xers are looking into the future and it’s not looking too promising when it comes to retirement. A life of enjoying family, taking up a hobby, and most importantly relaxing seems
like a dream rather reality. Gen Xers are often ignored, but with this election they hold a lot of the power. For Generation X it is chance to vote on behalf of their future, and this time it’s unlikely they will pass it up.

At the helm, she focused much of her efforts on fiscal management, environmental stewardship and strengthening essential community programs. The First Congressional District is a big one, stretching all the way to Smithtown, with a disparate population numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

advocacy for the East End. He gets us . . . until we talk social issues. There, Zeldin’s conservative philosophies concern. He voted against gay marriage in the senate. His stances on gender neutrality, the pathway to citizenship for immigrants, funding Pell grants for college kids, gun control, and abortion harken back to the 1950s. They don’t mesh with 2016 America. Worse, and given his able record representing the East End, much worse, is his continued support of Donald Trump. It’s surprising, actually, coming from this likeable a n d c a p a b l e l a w m a k e r, t h i s gentleman. Unlike party colleagues and leaders, he continues to stand by the GOP candidate, and apparently will no matter what the racist, misogynist, and just plain wacko man at the top of the ticket does. We’ve endorsed Lee in the past. We’ve supported him. But his support of Trump is, frankly, scary. And almost entirely for this reason, we turn from him.

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

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

Health Insurance Crisis
Record Increase For Obamacare Premiums
By Rick Murphy
Talk about bad timing. Just a week before the national elections the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) rate increases for 2017 have been announced, and it’s not good news for proponents of the plan. Premiums will rise an average of 25 percent, with ratepayers in some states facing increases as high as 79 percent. And though the Obama administration has tried to put its best spin on the news, it gets worse. According to Health Pocket, deductibles for individuals with the lowest tiered plan will rise to over $6000 – and all the way up to $12,393 for a family plan. In laymen’s terms, many families will pay over $1000 a month for premiums, but will have to spend over $12,000 a year before coverage even kicks in. The 2017 signup period began yesterday and ends in a month. Many Americans will find themselves without a plan on January 1 because several large insurers have dropped out of the system. President Obama is tr ying desperately to hold on to the ACA as part of his legacy, despite growing skepticism. Obama called the latest bad news confronting the failing health system “growing pains” and crowed on national television that 72 percent of recipients will be able to find coverage for $75 or
less per month. Yet, that figure is not sustainable when dissecting the numbers. Approximately 1.4 million Americans who signed up through the HEALTHCARE.GOV portal do not make enough money to afford insurance, or earn nothing at all. Up to 85 percent of them receive government subsidies, however, and in many cases face huge deductibles and co-pay increases in the coming year. This group for the most part is comprised of people who are receiving health insurance for the first time because they couldn’t afford to buy into the previous

system.
List Price However, nearly 9 million other Americans, some of whom have been forced to give up their old plans despite Obama’s promise they wouldn’t have to, have gotten hammered because most of them earn too much money to qualify for a subsidy. Though the administration refuses to state the obvious, HMOs are charging those who buy insurance higher premiums and deductibles to subsidize those who can’t afford it. It is precisely the nightmare
many Americans worried about – the middle class has been priced out of the market, and poorer Americans now have better coverage than those who pay top dollar for it. There is mounting evidence the fathers of the ACA bill knew what was going to happen all along. In October 2013 an MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, who helped craft the ACA, said the bill was written to purposely obscure the fact that the bill called for a tax on citizens who declined to buy health insurance, which would have doomed its passage. Instead, it was classified as a penalty. Gruber has since stated the ACA was “deliberately misleading” and written to “exploit Americans.” The fact is Obamacare is no longer a partisan issue. Democrats hoping for reelection are distancing themselves from it, and even Hillary Clinton, once one of the staunchest supporters, recently stated it needs to be changed. Clinton wants to increase subsidies so more Americans will have affordable premiums, while her opponent, Donald Trump, wants to scrap Obamacare altogether and replace it. John Hayward, writing for Brietbart.com, concluded that the President’s insistence that insurance rates would stabilize “has always been one of the flimsiest and most transparent lies told by this

Question Need For CPF Action
By Rick Murphy
A longtime executive with the Environmental Protection Agency is suggesting local townships hold off on ballot Proposal Number One. All five towns are asking voters to approve the measure, which will extend the Community Preservation Fund tax from 2030 until 2050 and allow municipalities to divert up to 20 percent of the money towards improving water quality. Pa u l G i a r d i n a , w h o w a s a manager for the US EPA for almost 42 years, recently addressed the East Hampton Town Board to voice
his concerns. Giardina said there is an EPA Revolving Fund with billions of dollars available to fund water quality improvement projects, and it is underutilized -- or not utilized at all -- by local municipalities. “This provides low income loans to fix septic system issues. These loans can be paid back over 20 to 25 years.” Giardina contends in most cases involving the CPF money taxpayers would be funding projects that didn’t involve them. In those cases a loan from the EPA would make more sense,
Giardina contends. “It takes the burden off of the taxpayer base and puts it where the problem is caused, the individual septic system.” In other words, people who take advantage of it would be paying it back. There is some suspicion afoot that wealthy waterfront homeowners will finagle a way to take advantage of septic upgrades without paying sticker price. Giardina’s plan allows the town to address antiquated septic systems without tapping into CPF revenue.
OPEN LETTER TO THE VOTERS OF EAST HAMPTON VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 1 Don’t Loot Our CPF “Water is the dominant feature in the landscape in East Hampton and is what lures so many people to East Hampton. Clean water is undeniably the greatest issue facing East Hampton as both ground and surface waters face threats to their quality. In fact, I think most residents would agree that water quality is the greatest issue facing the town, far ahead of affordable housing, traffic congestion, illegal rentals etc. However, the town has done little to address water. The draft Water Quality Improvement Plan is a start, but little research has been undertaken to assess the quality of town waters. There is much talk of solving water problems in the community, but little is known about the source of the problems. Nitrogen pollution from septic systems/cesspools is probably a significant contributor to degradation of water quality in the town, but to blame septic systems/cesspools for water problems in any part of the town without the science to back it up would be foolish. Lawn fertilizer and animal waste, especially from waterfowl are also contributors to degradation of our town’s waters. East Hampton Town voters will have a chance to vote on November 8 for a ballot proposition to implement recent amendments to NY Town Law Section 64-e. The East Hampton Town board favors a vote approving the ballot proposition. Those in favor of the ballot proposition cite that the CPF since its implementation has been a tremendous success. However it is a non sequitur to assume diversion of CPF monies to water quality improvements will also be a success. Monies will have to be spent to maintain and improve water quality, but approval of the ballot proposition is the wrong way to do it. Approval of the ballot initiative will give the town board ability to expedite approval of projects with a fund readily available without proper community input and scrutiny. Approval of the ballot initiative can result in a lack of transparency on such a critical issue as town water quality. I fear projects that are ill conceived will be approved and waste taxpayer monies. The town board has talked about upgrading septic systems and cesspools; however, the Town has no legal authority to do this. The Suffolk County Health Department has jurisdiction over septic systems. Jay Schneiderman, the supervisor of the Town of Southampton has admitted this on LTV television. There is an alternative to using 20% of the CPF for water projects and that is to utilize funds in the State Revolving Fund managed by the Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) . Disbursements from the EFC are loans and not grants and must be repaid albeit at a nominal interest rate.This is a positive as the town should not be making disbursements for pollution projects that are improvements to private property that are not reimbursed by the property owner. The Town of East Hampton has not made any request to the EFC for funding clean water projects. Revisions to Section 64-e of NY Town Law to allow water quality improvement projects to be funded from the CPF monies were poorly crafted. The revised law provides “‘a maximum of twenty (20) percent of the fund may be utilized for the implementation of water quality improvement projects.” The law is silent as to how a maximum of 20% is calculated. This can lead to mischief by local governments as to how they calculate 20%. The sentence added at the end of subsection 4 of the law says that “protection and improvement of the quality of all water resources” will be considered preservation of community character. This is vague. The term “Water Quality Improvement Project” is included in the law as a defined term and should have been used. A sentence added at subsection 6 was improperly worded. It provides “Projects which have as their purpose the accommodation of new growth as opposed to the remediation of water quality shall not qualify for funding under this section.” This should be restricted to existing water quality problems. As written it is nonsensical. Water quality issues in the Town of East Hampton need to be addressed, but utilizing CPF monies creates a situation where approval of projects will be rushed through the approval process with little input from the voters. The current revisions to Section 64-e will probably not be the last. The East Hampton CPF is huge and politicians are addicted to money like a heroin addict is addicted to drugs. This ballot proposition has a bad smell to it and it is not a leaking septic system. Expect further expansion of the law allowing other expenditures. Pick your favorite, how about free lobster dinners for all full time residents brought to their home once a week along with a chilled bottle of sauvignon blanc to wash it down. I’ll vote for that. The underlying law was hastily revised without much thought. East Hampton residents need need their local government to address water quality issues, but it must be done in a thoughtful way so taxpayer money is not wasted on ill conceived projects. The ballot initiative makes it too easy for town government to rush projects through for approval without the careful consideration this issue deserves. The EHTRC believes all of this is a recipe for disaster and recommends a no vote for the ballot initiative.”
A NO VOTE ON PROP 1 IS A YES VOTE FOR A RESPONSIBLE WATER QUALITY POLICY paid for by East Hampton Town Republican Committee
“If you look at the data, Accabonac Harbor is actually improving because the town is buying up property and inflating prices,” he said. When increased prices entice a homeowner to sell, the buyer must upgrade the preexisting septic system. “Our Assemblyman Fred Thiele said, the `Federal government has left the playing field.’ I am shocked how misinformed Assemblyman Thiele is on this matter,” Giardina told the town board earlier this month. “I was shocked to find out that a town supposedly so concerned about water quality issue has posed no projects to the EPA.” “When I was town supervisor [in Southampton] we did use it,” Thiele countered. “It is a competitive process, though, and it typically favors projects like sewer districts. It’s not a be all and do all.” Both Thiele and State Senator Ken LaValle agreed the EPA fund might be utilized, be it now or down the road. “ When it comes to money sources, everything is on the table,” LaValle said. “It’s tool and it’s available,” Thiele said of the EPA fund, although he added, “there are a lot of hoops you have to jump through.” Next Tuesday voters in all five East End towns will vote on a proposal to extend the two percent real estate tax used to fund the Community Preservation Fund and allow the municipalities to spend up to 20 percent of the money on clean water projects. Giardina thinks the proposal is being rushed through prematurely, but LaValle said the urgency is the deterioration of the waterways. In a perfect world the properties closest to the water with failing septic systems will be addressed first. “What we need is an inventory. The strategy is to move from the outside in,” the senator said.

Charges Dropped Charges have been dropped against the man driving the limo involved in the horrific crash that killed four young women last summer in Cutchogue. Carlos Pino of Bethpage, 59, was chauffeuring the four friends from Queens during an afternoon of revelry when eyewitnesses said the limo pulled into Route 48 in front of an oncoming pickup truck. Pino was charged with criminally negligent homicide and other lesser charges. But last week in First District Court Judge Fernando Camacho, acting on a motion filed by defense attorney Leonard Lato of Hauppauge, notified the families of the victims that he had decided not to pursue the case. Lato argued the grand jury indictment was invalid because it was improperly presented to the grand jury. The motion alleged that prosecutors used improper testimony to produce an indictment for a collision that does not amount to a crime. Pino was driving the limousine in the July 18, 2015 crash that killed Brittney Schulman, 23, of Smithtown; Lauren Baruch, 24, of Smithtown; Stephanie Belli, 23, of Kings Park; and Amy Grabina, 23, of Commack. Injured but surviving the crash were four additional passengers: Joelle DiMonte, 25, of Elwood; Melissa Crai, 23, of Scarsdale, N.Y.; Alicia Arundel, 24, of Setauket; and Olga Lipets, 24, of Brooklyn. Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota vowed to appeal the decision to drop the charges. Alleged drunk driver Steven Romeo, 55, of Southold, the driver of the pickup, was arrested after the crash but isn’t facing upgraded charges, Spota said. He added that investigators determined the pickup could not have avoided the limo, which pulled directly in front of him while attempting to make a left turn.

of U.S. counties had only one or two insurers to choose from in their healthcare exchange. Another quarter had just three. Overall, Heritage found, competition fell by 21.5 percent after the Obamacare exchanges went live in 2013, according to an article in the National Review. “More ominous is the shakiness of the 23 nonprofit “health co-ops” created by Obamacare to ensure choices for health insurance apart from the big insurance companies,” according to the study. In August, The New York Times reported that 22 of the 23 health co-ops lost money last year. Four have already

Consumers will be faced this year with not only big premium increases but also with a declining number of insurers participating, and that will lead to a “tumultuous open enrollment period,” said Larry Levitt, who tracks the health care law for the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. Despite all the criticism, Obamacare proponents point out that only nine percent of Americans are currently without health insurance, the lowest percentage in history.

Southampton Town
Court Rules In Favor Of Gregor
By Rick Murphy
An agreement with Southampton Town’s CSEA union forged by Super visor Jay Schneiderman without the approval of Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor has been stayed in New York State
Supreme Court. The matter was the first public disagreement of the town board, pitting Schneiderman and the Democratic majority against the town’s minority Republicans when it surfaced in March.

In this case, Councilwoman Christine Scalera and Councilman Stan Glinka, the Republicans, were on the winning side of the argument. In March the board was presented with a settlement deal with the CSEA that would have added union titles and given union status to a number on non-union employees. Scalera and Glinka refused to sign off, calling the deal “one-sided.” They further charged it favored high ranking union officials. Schneiderman had enough votes, but town law mandates the highway superintendent must sign off as well. Gregor refused. “Jay and Laura Smith, the highest paid non-union employee in town, arbitrarily decided on this,” Gregor said. “It would have created 32

positions and 11 new pay grades. It was payback for the endorsement of Schneiderman.” The town filed a grievance against Gregor. Meanwhile, Scalera sought an opinion from Vincent Toomey, the town’s labor attorney. Toomey said a provision in the town’s collective bargaining made it unlikely the petition to create additional union positions would be successful because the union waived the right to request a change in job status. Toomey expressed concern that the agreement “may also include fully paid retiree health insurance for all CSEA members.” That perk, Toomey warned, “would be a colossal mistake.” “It’s a giveaway deal,” Gregor charged. “As a taxpayer I’m concerned.” As highway superintendent, Gregor has 54 union employees. The town filed a grievance against Gregor trying to force him to signoff on the CSEA deal; he argued there was no basis for arbitration. On October 27 the Honorable Joseph A. Santorelli ruled in favor of Gregor, issuing a permanent stay on the arbitration process and refusing the town’s motion to dismiss. “I agree the hard-working town employees deserve to share in the financial prosperity of the town but the process that occurred without the participation of the CSEA membership is wrong.” Schneiderman did not return a call for comment by press time.

“Almost All Americans Are Dying Faster: Baby Boomers, Generation Xers and Yes, Millennials”
That’s just the kind of news I want to hear. The article, published on Bloomberg, contends that U.S. lifespans, as measured by the Society Of Actuaries, are falling after years of rising. The average man – that would be me, dies at 86. The average woman now lives to 88. Last year the average man lived to be almost 88 and the average woman 90. This is a troubling declines because you would think with all the organic food and non-GMO seed and kale we’d be on the upswing. The way I figure it, kale eaters, even those who are wicked sinners, should live to be 100 on the theory hell can’t be much worse. I think women left to their own devices would live a lot longer than males, because women don’t have anyone to nag them like a guy does. I believe a good woman can cause enough stress through the sheer annoyance of their unrealistic demands that it most surely will send a husband to his early grave. Not my woman, of course, but all the other ones. I have a theory on why women
don’t live even longer: until he dies at age 86 the husband does all the driving. At least that’s the case in my family. Karen and I have one simple little rule we try and live by, and it is one of the secrets of a successful marriage: I do all the driving, period. Once we were coming home from the city and Karen saw me yawn. “Want me to drive?” she asked innocently. “Why, did I suffer a debilitating stroke? Are my arms and legs paralyzed?” “What do you mean?” she said, looking at me quizzically. “It means as long as there is a breath of life in my being you will never get behind the wheel of my truck while I’m in it.” (The truth is I don’t want her driving it at all!) Of course, the numbers vary from case to case. College educated men tend to live longer than their non-college counterparts, so that’s a plus for me. Non-smokers live longer than smokers, so I pick up a couple of years on that score. People who drink two glasses of red wine a day actually live longer than non-drinkers (HA! I TOLD YOU) so once again I am ahead of the curve, though I must admit I now

Generation Xers came after Baby Boomers and are currently aged 3449. We don’t give a crap about them at all beyond wanting to know what TV shows they watch and what kind of laundry detergent they use.

Two senior citizens suing because they maintain they were forced to live in a mold-filled affordable housing complex have for the first time targeted former East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill McGintee as a culpable party. Joan Holden and Elizabeth Cobb were forced to move out of the Windmill Village II complex on Accabonac Highway because of the
mold and have documented medical records to substantiate their claim. They are suing not only the legal entity that runs the facility but the Town of East Hampton and its Housing Director, Tom Ruhle. In a memorandum of law filed earlier this year Lawrence E. Kelley, an attorney for the two women, noted that the Windmill II board acknowledged at one point there was a mold problem but paid to

have it remediated. East Hampton Town officials have said through attorneys that the Windmill II LLC is an autonomous agency and that the town has nothing to do with day-to-day affairs. However, Ruhle administers HUD subsidies, and most of the Windmill residents get money from the government to offset part of their rent. Ruhle at one point told this newspaper that he suspended HUD payments in 2009 and made the payment contingent on the Windmill board addressing the mold problem. Though the Windmill board said it did, tenants said the problem persisted and later intensified again. McGintee was the subject of a Grand Jury investigation during that

time. His budget officer had already been arrested and, according to a Grand Jury report released later that year, had begun siphoning money from the town’s Community Preservation Fund for regular town operating expenses. By law, the CPF is a dedicated fund to be used only to buy property for preservation. Between 2005 and 2009 an audit by the state comptroller revealed almost $30 million of CPF had been spent. “Tom Ruhle can answer as to whether the 2009 [HUD] rental subsidy payments were suspended because of the mold condition or because Ruhle engaged in a criminal conspiracy with the town supervisor or both,” according to court documents. The plaintiffs are contending that the real reason the suspension of HUD payments was not publicly revealed was because of the criminal investigation. “The defendants were not interested in reviving open public discussion of the chronic mold condition,” according to court documents. Meanwhile the same people who ran Windmill were building another senior affordable housing facility, St. Michaels. But had they moved Cobb, Holden and the other afflicted tenants of Windmill II to the new facility, questions would have been raised. By not doing so, plaintiffs alleged, the town and Windmill violated First and 14th amendments and Fair Housing Act rights of the tenants. The defendants had filed a motion to dismiss the case; the current filing is a response to that motion.

Broadway Reporting From
(& Sometimes Off)
By Isa Goldberg
Among matinee idols, Br yce Pinkham hardly fits the mold. Easily recalled for playing wry, deliciously offensive characters in the satirical Broadway musicals Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson and A Gentlemen’s Guide to Love & Murder, Pinkham transforms here into a sweet romantic lead. Now starring as Jim Hardy, the Irving Berlin role in this screen to stage adaptation, Holiday Inn, at Studio 54, Pinkham captures the unjaded spirit of the man whose works are synonymous with the American Songbook. While the 1942 movie featured Bing Cosby’s warm baritone voice, Pinkham shows off a beautiful tenor with a classic sense of Broadway music of the midtwentieth century. More importantly, the earnest sense of self that he brings to the role is surprising for a man whose stage personae often carry a sense of mockery. Of course, the new book by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge, features Berlin’s memorable songs from “Heat Wave” to “White Christmas.” But what resonates is the refreshing quality of an American musical that celebrates our chauvinistic spirit of innovation, as iconic as the pioneering destiny, go west young man. So, when Jim Hardy seeks his future far from the glitter of Broadway, on a rundown farm in Connecticut, we welcome his return to the barn – so surely rooted in the MGM mystique of old-time movie musicals. Pinkham is joined by a gifted ensemble, including Megan Sikora as Lila, Jim’s fiancée who runs away the minute he takes her to the farm, Corbin Bleu as his buddy who takes off for Hollywood, eventually meeting up with
Lila, and Lora Lee Gayer as Linda. It’s she who leaves the bright lights behind to be with Jim in her family’s old farm. Denis Jones’ choreography calls largely on the fervor of tap, Gordon Greenberg’s direction brings freshness and innocence to this tale about the romance of show biz. It’s a lovely piece of musical theater, and in the spirit of Berlin, simple and uplifting. The Cherry Orchard In Stephen Karam’s adaptation of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, the encroachment of the modern world is inescapably obvious – glaring in fact. Indeed, Chekhov wrote about the passing of an aristocratic regime and the emergence of a bourgeois, nouveau riche society. Idealizing neither, he identified their shortcomings in the human comedy of his drama. In a sense, Karam ups the ante in this Roundabout Theater production at the American Airlines Theater. Here the serfs of 19th century Russia are called slaves, and the color blind casting includes several African American actors. As Lopakhin, Harold Perrineau (television’s “Lost” and the Matrix films) portrays the poor boy turned tycoon who thrives when the family estate goes into foreclosure, allowing him to chop down the precious cherry orchard and build a real estate development. John Glover is an especially feckless Gaev; Diane Lane as Ranevyskaya is as sympathetic as she is narcissistic, and Chuck Cooper is an awkward landowner. Scott Pask’s set features Calderesque mobiles with the airy light feel of cherry trees in bloom. And Michael Krass’s period costumes turn contemporary, as the family moves away from their

beloved orchard, toward an uncertain future. There is a sense of awe and speechlessness as the aristocracy leaves, with their servant Firs (Joel Grey) to die alone in the home where he had served them all of his life. In this adaptation, directed by Simon Godwin, the passing of an era is accompanied by circus acts and theatrical music. It feels as if the subtle psychological shifts that Chekhov wrote about are just the fodder for Karem’s portrayal of society in the throes of such startling economic and human flux. Vietgone Qui Nguyen’s Vietgone at Manhattan Theatre Club’s City Center Stage 1, is a delightful meta-theatrical comic book; a play, in fact, with a pitch perfect, and equally cacophonous sense of contemporary culture. Its subjects include the war in Vietnam and the American opposition to it, the plight of immigrants, as well as our racial and ethnic stereotypes. And the songs, anachronistic or not, are a mix of rap and the soul music we associate with that era. Raymond Lee is alluring as Quang, the Vietnamese army officer who helps many of his countrymen escape to

America. That he is forced to leave his wife and children behind is a source of remorse that he will carry throughout his American experience. Still, when he falls in love with a Vietnamese immigrant Tong (Jennifer Ikeda), he knocks over his competitor, a dorky hillbilly played by Paco Tolson. In fact, Tolson plays multiple roles, (as do several other actors) including that of the playwright, who is in the process of telling this story. Together “Qui” (the playwright) and Quang battle the forces of good and evil, like characters in a Marvel comic, with accompanying graphic projections by Jared Mezzocchi. But it’s Nguyen’s portrayal of macho culture – from cowboys to war heroes to bikers to comic book superheroes, that is surprisingly present, at least in the subtext. And the dialogue, about farting and going to the bathroom, is right out of children’s cartoons. As depicted, the male characters find it difficult to grow out of their childish fixations. Directed at a slam bam pace by Mary Adrales, the raucous comedy is delightfully engineered, with America’s blighted infrastructure, a winding trail of roads, billboards, and telephone polls by Tim Mackabee.

How will we express this need? Can we honestly speak our truth? ARIES (3/20 - 4/20) You might feel very guarded with someone close. Try to resolve any issues you are experiencing while being honest yet gentle. Take advantage of all offers that come your way. TAURUS (4/20 - 5/20) You may be faced with choices this week. Whether in love or at work, choose the option that makes your heart sing. You are moving to the next level. Enjoy. GEMINI (5/20 - 6/22) Although money flows in, it also flows out just as quickly. Try to find ways to conserve your resources. Keep steady as your daily routine can be subject to change. CANCER (6/22 - 7/22) If you are feeling pressure from all sides, remember you are not alone. You need to find a creative way to escape the humdrum daily grind. Speak from your heart. LEO (7/22 - 8/23) Try not to indulge your worries too much this week. Remember that experience is the best teacher, so use your wisdom

when faced with conflicts. There are several options at your fingertips if you are brave. VIRGO (8/23 - 9/23) Someone from the past may contact you this week or occupy your thoughts. It is a time for you to release people and situations that no longer work for you. Be sure to communicate with love no matter how difficult it may be. LIBRA (9/23 - 10/22) What is it that you cherish? Be sure to express your appreciation for others and you will be rewarded with love. You will feel the need to surround yourself with beauty as it puts you in a loving mood. SCORPIO (10/23 - 11/21) Speak up about your wants and needs. There are new people and places to explore. Be courageous when dealing with those who are draining you. It may be time for you to try something new. SAGITTARIUS (11/21 - 12/21) Confusion may be the name of your game this week. Try to meditate or ask for help in prayer. You will find the answers you seek and inspiration by being outdoors. Be patient, it will all work out. CAPRICORN (12/21 - 1/21) You can make some important connections with regard to your career. Brush off

that résumé and let others know if you are seeking new employment. Have faith that your circumstances are moving forward. AQUARIUS (1/21 - 2/19) Family issues or planning will be on your agenda.

Independent Dining Stuffed Turkey Breast With An Apple Pear Glaze & Candied Pecans
Ingredients (serves 6) 2 whole turkey breasts (roughly 2 lbs each) 2 c shaved sweet potato 2 large leeks (bottoms washed and cut across into half moons) 1/2 c dried cranberries 1c apple juice Juice of 1/2 a lemon 1 oz bourbon 1/4 granulated sugar 3 tbs butter melted 2 tbs olive oil 1/4 c chopped sage
1/4 c chopped parsley 2 Granny Smith apples (diced) reserve scraps to make sauce 2 Anjou pears (diced) reserve scraps for sauce 3/4 c pecans 1 egg (just white) 1 tsp cinnamon 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp curry powder 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning 1 tsp paprika Salt and black pepper to your liking
Method
Start by heating your oven to 350 degrees. Deglaze a hot pan with the bourbon to burn off the alcohol. When the bourbon is reduced by half add the sugar and apple juice. Heat that mixture until the sugar is dissolved. Soak the cranberries for 10 minutes while you sauté the shaved sweet potatoes and leeks in a tbsp of olive oil, just until they are soft and translucent. Meanwhile, between two sheets of plastic wrap, gently pound the turkey breasts to an even thickness, about an inch. Season the turkey breast, drain and reserve the liquid used to rehydrate the cranberries. At this point you will want to

have butchers’ twine handy. Stuff the pounded breasts with the sweet potato, leek, herb, and cranberry filling. Do not over stuff the breast. Roll and truss each turkey breast. In a couple of hot sauté pans sear the skin with a mixture of olive oil and butter over medium high heat to brown the skin. Place them in the oven for 25 minutes remembering to rotate half way through the cooking process. Once the turkey is in the oven you can gently heat the liquid reserved from earlier from the left over scraps from dicing your fruit. Once the fruit is cooked and soft, purée the mixture to make a sauce and fold in the diced fruit. Keep warm to serve. Toss the pecans in the spice mix, and then add the egg white. Mix everything together in a bowl and spread the coated nuts evenly across a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes and remove to allow time to cool. When the turkey comes out of the oven snip away the butchers’ twine and slice into 1.5 inch thick medallions. Coat with the warm sauce and finish by crumbling the candied pecans over the dish. Enjoy!

Editorial
Just Do It Last month actor and outspoken advocate Jesse Williams made a “get the vote out” video asserting that when a cynical citizen reports making a statement by not voting, respond with, “Well, I can’t hear you.” Think your vote isn’t important? Think the choices in the presidential election are so unappetizing, it’s just not worth the effort or, they don’t “deserve” your vote? Think you can’t make a difference? Think you’re powerless? Think again. Voting is about a lot more than the presidential election. Your power rests on the local level and here, you can be heard. Here you can decide on candidates who can make our communities better, or make your life worse. “This government was designed to be changed,” Williams said. Changed by you. He said, “You can either make that change or you can take what little they give you.” Your opinions matter. Make them known. Over and over on the local level, citizens have been successful in making changes. Our local representatives listen to their constituents. They have to. Rare are the times when the community rises up and it isn’t heard by our town boards, school boards, village boards or county legislature. But it’s on you to speak up. Disgusted by the nation’s ruling political parties? Look for your candidate on a third, or fourth, party line. Find the Independence, Conservative, Working Families, or Right to Life lines on the ballot and make your mark there. Don’t stay home next Tuesday just to make a statement. No one will hear it.
Independent VOICES
Vote No Dear Editor, Vote NO on Proposition One, that will extend current CPF law to 2050 and carve out up to 20 percent of the law’s funding for water quality projects. Elected state and local officials have dropped the ball on existing funding for water quality projects and now are pushing for voters to approve what I call a “water slush fund.” According to EPA experts, the Town of East Hampton could, and should have, (but
has not) been making applications for funding from the EPA’s State Revolving Funds (SRF) for both wastewater and drinking water projects. Low interest loans already are available to upgrade septic systems. So, why do residents remain unprotected? This is a huge screw-up. Or is it? State and federal funding often requires rigorous oversight that is not required in the water slush fund. In last week’s article, Larry Cantwell and Fred Thiele’s shocking indifference to previous CPF fraud troubled me. Over the next 25 years, East Hampton taxpayers’ precious dollars will go to pay for previous CPF law breaking. Cantwell and Thiele’s attitude that fraud by public officials is just a cost of doing business, underscores why Proposition One must

Ed Gifford be defeated. Campaign finance reports show the newly formed Clean Water and Community Preservation Committee is collecting large amounts of out-of-state, corporate special interest money and spending it on a Washington DC, Democratic political consulting firm to influence East Hampton voters to approve Prop One. Why? If these advocates were so concerned about water quality, why didn’t they push the Town to acquire SRF funds? If they didn’t know about the SRF, then they are not well informed and quite frankly, their
How’d you do with your trick-or-treating?
opinions should be discounted. East Hampton taxpayers pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to Pio Lombardo, an engineering consultant supposed to be investigating and providing solutions to water problems. However, Lombardo also is selling a magic elixir septic fix called the Nitrex system. Aside from the obvious conflicts, as the Town’s consultant, why didn’t Lombardo ensure the Town apply for SRF funding? The answer for consultants and special interests is the water slush fund: approval Continued on Page 42.

Happy Reader Hi Rick, Somewhere, Dickie Goodman is smiling! DAVE NORTH Editor’s note: The writer is referring to Rick Murphy’s interview with Bob Dylan in last week’s Independent.
So-called Christianity Dear Editor, The problem is not Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, the Democrats, Republicans or Conservatives. The problem is the church or so-called Christianity. The problem is with ministers, priests and others that have opted for a Christianity of creeds, ceremonies and rituals, of one sort or another, while our nation self destructs and is headed for hell. So-called Christianity (Protestant pastors, Catholic priests) has watched while prayer was removed from our schools, the Bible removed from community locations, the name Christmas removed from most school calendars, the Ten Commandments prohibited in most places, the Name of Jesus abandoned, and Sunday became Funday. All this happened while the sins of drunkenness, drug abuse, divorce, adultery, fornication, abortion, homosexuality and lesbian behavior, just to name a few, dominate everyday life. Where was Christianity and where is Christianity while all this happened? Where were the “good” people? It wasn’t Hillary or Donald, although they’ve got their baggage, that removed or permitted this behavior, it was a passive Christianity too afraid to challenge the government or offend the people. Martin Niemoller, a Christian minister said, as the Nazis scourge was consuming Germany in the 1930’s, “When the Nazis came for the Communists, I remained silent; I was not a Communist. When they locked up the Social Democrats, I remained silent; I was not a Social Democrat. When they came for the Trade Unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a Trade Unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained

silent; I wasn’t a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out”. Christianity has once again adapted this apathetic view of events while our nation is consumed with sin, and our government at all levels is corrupt and ineffective. Money and our material possessions like houses, cars, jobs, or the glitzy McMansions of the Hamptons, are some of the reasons why the church (Christianity) ignores their Biblical responsibilities. The Christian thinking is that prayer will change things and God will “drain the swamp” in government and society; we can go on seeking after money and the pleasures of life. After all we must safe-guard our money, possessions, prosperity, family, friends and rather than actively participate in the Biblical affairs of life, we choose creeds, rituals, ceremonies and Funday. I do encourage you to vote, even though there won’t be any change for the better until Christians take up their Biblical responsibility to defend God’s Kingdom. Or, wait until they come for you and “there’s

Hillary & Anna Dear Editor, Your editorial, “A Debilitating Sense,” (The Independent, 10/22/16), exposes an unpleasant truth about Donald Trump’s locker-room talk, and that truth is the degree to which this type of talk can instill a sense of unease. Congressman Lee Zeldin, of course, expressed his disapproval of Mr. Trump’s words, but more importantly Melania Trump expressed her disappointment, “The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me.” Melania Trump has been characterized as merely decorative yet she has shown more courage than Hillary Clinton, who has publicly vilified the recipients of her husband’s attentions.

Ms. Throne-Holst reminds women there’s still plenty to be frightened of. SUSAN CERWINSKI
Continued from page 42.
Rigged? Absurd
that some women defend men who exploit women. Democrats would have us believe Hillary is “unlikeable” because she’s sane and intelligent but maybe it’s because she’s always been part of the Hillary and Bill team and both have been part of the establishment that gave rise to Donald Trump in the first place (to paraphrase a recent New York Times article by conservative columnist Ross Douthat entitled “The Dangers of Hillary Clinton,” 10/28/16). This is not meant to be an endorsement of Donald Trump. However, in my opinion, Anna Throne-Holst, who is opposing Lee Zeldin for Congress, adheres closely to the Clintonian model. She has taken campaign funds from Wall Street investors and corporate businessmen and has supported Democrats who have abused the landuse system and/or carried out their civic responsibilities in ways that exploit women.
To the Editor, I am highly disappointed with Republican voters across the United States. Evidently, according to national polls, over 70 percent of Republican voters believe the propaganda being put out by Trump and his campaign staff that the upcoming election is rigged in favor of Clinton. And my disappointment emanates from being a registered Independent for decades. If Trump and his supporters actually believe the election is rigged, then they believe that fraud will occur in the balloting across the country in state after state, county after county, city after city, and town after town. How absurd and unAmerican are these beliefs. If this fraud occurs, then our voting system is subject to the same systemic voting fraud that occurs in Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, and other totalitarian countries, and this cannot happen in this country. We have thousands of responsible, unbiased and honest

election officials processing ballots. Un-American Conspirator Trump and his supporters are setting up Trump’s loss to be blamed on a fictitious and salacious conspiracy theory. And now he is saying he might not be willing to accept the results of the election if he loses. This is preaching anarchy. DONALD MOSKOWITZ
Short & Sweet Dear Editor, Please vote, November 8th! Wear red & vote for Trump! Vote “NO” on Proposition #1, as written. The CPF and water issues should be two separate issues and not merged into one huge bank account. JOAN TUTT
Had Enough Clinton Dear Editor, Anna Throne-Holst considers herself a model for the children? She’ll fight terrorism? On which planet? If I recall, it was Lee Zeldin, who was a paratrooper who jumped out of planes in two war

zones and fired guns - similar to the guns Throne-Holst will deny women with children home alone - and actually fought genuine terrorists with guns who have murdered Americans. It was Lee Zeldin who legislated against terrorists with guns, not ThroneHolst. It was Lee Zeldin who would rather put guns in the hands of innocent women who would take the guns out of the hands - permanently - of thugs and murderers Throne-Holst protects. While we’re at it, Hillary said: “Comey’s letter eleven days before the election is unprecedented, astonishing, and deeply troubling.” What was not unprecedented, astonishing, and deeply troubling for Hillary was when Caspar Weinberger was indicted four days before the election, insuring two terms of Bill Clinton, and thirty years of the Clintons who have done so much for mankind. It may be not so troubling, or astonishing, or unprecedented, is that this nation had had enough of the Clintons, their ongoing serial scandals, and a potential constitutional crisis to come if these scandals follow her into the Oval Office.

Short and Scary Stories” contest held by The Independent newspaper have been announced. The grand prize winner was seventh grader Aiden McCormac. The first place winner for grades 4-6 was sixth grader Chloe Swickard. The contest was open to any student and entries were submitted through their teachers. This was the first time a Springs School student won the grand prize. Students in the Academic Enrichment Program program are still working on the Pussy’s Pond project. There is a fence there to help prevent road run-off which pollutes the pond. Students helped set up barriers so when the dirty water flows in, it goes into a blocked-off area. Students are also planting native plants for the ducks to eat, which is a more nutritious food than bread. All the plants are expected to be fully grown by next spring. For Fire Safety Month, the fire department visited students at Spirit Meet to talk about fire safety, including: what to do if there’s smoke in their house, how to call 911, and what a firefighter looks like and sounds like when they have all their gear on. After Spirit Meet, kindergarten classes were able to explore a fire truck and ambulance. Students were given fire helmet hats and fire safety coloring books. Fifth graders and seventh graders visited Louse Point, Landing Lane, and Lazy Point beaches to conduct water quality testing of the Peconic Estuary. 188 students in total, the most students Island-wide involved in this testing, were able to get their feet wet and contribute their findings with the Central Pine Barrens Commission. On the same day, other schools on Long Island studied the Connetquot River and the Nissequogue River. All of these students will share their scientific findings with the Commission and Brookhaven Lab.

It was the tradition-rich Golden Flashes, the top program in the state and the perennial County Class A champs, against upstart Westhampton, enjoying a magical season and sailing on uncharted waters. For one half neither gave an inch. But the floodgates opened in the second half for Sayville, which finally solved the riddle of the Hurricanes’ defense. In the end

But stay tuned—the final verse hasn’t be written yet. Ashton Bradley drew first blood for the home team, a 47-yard run to give Sayville a 6-0 first quarter lead. The extra point kick failed. Dylan Laube, Westhampton’s incredible touchdown machine, answered in the second stanza with an acrobatic touchdown run of 48 yards, and his team took a 7-6 lead into the locker room. Credit Jack Coan, the Sayville quarterback. Cool and collected, he began to take apart the Westhampton defense – slowly, almost imperceptibly at first and then with surprising efficiency. The Flashes launched a long drive to open the second half with Coan passing for two first downs and running for another. Bradley scored from 11 yard out and after a two-point conversion Sayville led 14-7. Laube was getting his yards – he ended with 172 yards on 33 carries – but the Flashes were keeping his yards to manageable chucks. Sayville forced a punt, and Coan took over again. The quarterback ran for 26 yards to kick off a six play 80 yard drive, culminating it was a 19 yard strike to Seamus Burns that made it 21-7. In the final stanza Coan really found his comfort zone, directing a 78 yard 10 play drive that ended with a 21-yard strike to Mike Dionysius. He finished 15 for 23 for 167 yards and three touchdowns. The loss dropped the locals to 7-1, good for second place in Conference III. The Flashes earned the regular season crown and are 8-0. But that’s the regular season. The playoffs begin next week, and the Flashes are seed first, the Hurricanes’ second. That means the two teams are favored to meet again at a neutral site—with the county crown on the line.
