Southampton Town Police Scandal
Arrests And Convictions Could Be Overturned By Rick Murphy
A Southampton Town Police officer who worked “several years” on the police force’s Street Crime Unit was allegedly addicted to presciption drugs and was repeatedly high on duty. As a result, some of the cases he worked on may be “tainted,” Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst and others acknowledged. In other words, the specter is raised that convicted drug users

Some of these are compromised – there is no doubt about it.” The officer under investigation is Eric Sickles, two sources close

DA’s Comin’ To Town East Hampton Town Attorney John Jilnicki sent a letter to the Suffolk County District Attorney on May 4 asking the DA to investigate a claim made by Zachary Cohen, the Democratic candidate for town supervisor in the last election. Cohen wrote, in a letter in the May 2 issue of this newspaper, “the inescapable conclusion is that Town attorneys . . . encouraged an illegal action by the building inspector.” Cohen was referring to the renovation of the former Ronjo Motel in Montauk. “Typically I would not impose on your office with matters of opinion,” Jilnicki wrote in his letter to the D.A., but “this is a serious allegation . . .” Cohen lost the last election by 15 votes to incumbent Republican Bill Wilkinson and said this week he is considering running again. R.M. to the case told The Independent. Sickles has not been charged with any wrongdoing -- yet. Sources said he was whisked off to a rehab facility and has not returned to work. Throne-Holst did not identify Sickles but said the suspected cop was named “Officer Of The Year” by a local organization. Sickles was so designated by the Southampton Kiwanis Club in 2011. His direct supervisor, Lt. James Kiernan, has been suspended. The allegation is that Kiernan let Sickles continue on the job despite the fact he was allegedly hooked on drugs. That meant carrying a weapon, making undercover buys and making arrests. One local defense attorney said
she suspected the Street Crime Unit had “made arrests without cause. I know for a fact they searched people illegally,” the source said. The source also said the Street Crime Unit has been accused of “abusing minorities.” The saga began last year when Throne-Holst said she received “alarming reports from officers on duty of out-of the ordinary behavior,” specifically “records were being shredded and files leaving the building.” She ordered the town clerk to take files from the police department headquarters, box them up, and lock them up in town hall. The D.A. seized those and other police records in a raid CONTINUED ON PAGE 28.

BARACK OBAMA’S WINNING COMMERCIAL
Barack Obama, who hustled a whole nation with his “change” jive, was dancing on the fence of the gay marriage issue up until last week. He was fearful of the opposition of the many black churches who are homophobic and, sadly, not ready to extend the rite of marriage to every man and woman. When it comes to gay marriage, Barack Obama the meek had chosen a strategy that his enablers have sometimes characterized as “leading from behind.” Not in this case the best name for a strategy, given the subject matter. What frosts me is how Obama refused to take a stand until his bumbling Vice President Joe Biden blurted out that he approved of gay marriage and then Obama jumped in with both feet. Naturally the media complimented Obama on his courageous overnight decision. No one mentioned that
the day before the Biden statement Obama said he was still “evolving” on the gay marriage issue. The day after the media carried the Joe Biden statement, Obama evolved. Now I happen to think all politicians lie about everything. But it would be nice if they waited at least three days before they change their positions. And it would be nice if the proObama media would at least give their viewers and readers the courtesy of reporting a brazen political flip-flop, the kind that they love to report about Mitt Romney. Speaking of evolving, my opinion of Barack Obama is evolving, just like Barack Obama’s opinion of gay marriage had been evolving over the past four years. One day I think Obama is the worst president in our nation’s history. Then

my opinion evolves and I think he is the second-worst president in our nation’s history, taking his rightful place behind Jimmy Carter, who only had four years to show us what a dud he was. All indications are that Barack Obama will have eight years to put this country into the proverbial spin we may not recover from. So how can my smart Democratic friends possibly be voting for this guy again? Obama, like “The Shadow,” has the ability to cloud men’s minds. He has a great speaking voice. He makes a great speech. He looks like he’s in charge, but unless one believes in miracles, the record shows he will always be an empty suit. As of now, under his first term in office, we’re going broke. Unemployment is higher than it was when Obama took office and sadly, hundreds of thousands of families are running out of their unemployment benefits. We don’t report on those people who have given up on finding work; otherwise, our unemployment numbers would be up to 12 percent. The economy has not come back and consumer confidence in Obama is shrinking fast. We may be heading for a worse recession than Obama inherited in 2008. Egypt, Syria, Libya and the rest of Middle East is now up for grabs. The Muslim Brotherhood is growing stronger with each passing day and is poised to take over the region. Iran is still building the bomb and they are doing it with one hand. They are using the other hand to thumb their nose at us. To avoid wasting time and to give you a preview of Obama’s Presidential campaign, let’s start with the Democrat blame game: 1. It is all George W. Bush’s fault. 2. It is all the fault of the lazy incompetent Congress. Even during the two years when Democrats and Barack Obama controlled the House and the Senate. 3. It is the fault of the rich, who won’t pay their “fair share” of taxes.
631-287TOTS 631-287-TOTS
IN THE NEWS
4. It is the fault of the large corporations. 5. It is the fault of Fox News. 6. It is the fault of the greedy oil companies. 7. Occupy Wall Street is right. It is the fault of the banks and Goldman Sachs. And now, because I’m such a nice guy, I’m going to give Barack Obama a commercial he can run that will have his supporters rushing to cast their votes for him. BARACK OBAMA’S WINNING COMMERCIAL Commercial starts with music: “America the Beautiful.” Close-up of Barack Obama looking confident. Voice-over: “He lead the charge and got Osama Bin Laden.” (Cut to a picture of Osama Bin Laden.) VO: “He saved us from the greatest recession since 1929.” (Cut to a close-up of Obama signing his trillion-dollar stimulus bill.) VO: “He stopped the oil companies from drilling and killing all the wildlife.” (Cut to a picture of bird covered with oil.) VO: “He fought for clean air.” (Cut to a picture of black smoke coming out of a factory chimney.) VO: “He courageously always stood up for the rights of gays to get married.” (Cut to a wedding ceremony of two happy young men.) VO: “He passed the first Health Care bill.” (Cut to a little boy being examined by a doctor who seems happy to work for the state for nothing.) VO: “But most of all . . . he is not Mitt Romney.” Super on screen: MITT ROMNEY WOULD BE EVEN A WORSE PRESIDENT THAN BARACK OBAMA All of my Democrat friends acknowledge that Barack Obama is a terrible president but they all say, “But Mitt Romney?” Democrats are clever and they have demonized Romney, even though he knows more about spurring on business and creating jobs than Obama will ever know or care to know. Although in 2008 many Republicans crossed party lines and voted for Barack Obama, a Democrat will never vote for a Republican. Some of the smartest people I know who are Democrats would choose to vote for that “What Me, Worry?” jerk Congressman Dennis Kucinich for president before they would vote for a Republican, any Republican – and that includes Abraham Lincoln.

Jay-Oh Coming Home? By Kitty Merrill
The very prospect prompted Elaine Jones, chair of the East Hampton Independence Party committee, to use the word “wonderful” six times in two minutes. “Oh, my God. We need Jay back,” she exclaimed. “It would be wonderful.” Even though it’s a full year before nominations to run for town offices are generally discussed, for the last several weeks the buzz in political quarters has been: Jay Schneiderman’s coming back. Since 2004, Schneiderman, an Independence Party member, has served as the South Fork’s representative on the Suffolk County Legislature. Before that, from 2000 through 2003, he was East Hampton Town Supervisor. And lots of locals want him back, according to sources in certain political quarters. “Would I work for him to win the election?” Jones queried rhetorically. “Oh, absolutely. The Independence Party would work very hard for him.” And who else would? Schneiderman is one of few long time officials who’s been endorsed by the Indies every time he ran. In 2007 he changed his registration to the third party and, while some thought it was political suicide, Schneiderman went on to win a three-way endorsement for re-election to the legislature. Conventional wisdom typically decrees that a candidate needs the endorsement of a major political party to be a winner. Since his switchover Schneiderman, who won bids for town supe and his first two runs for the legislature on the GOP ticket, has been tight with the Democratic caucus in Hauppauge. Would that mean anything locally? Probably not. East Hampton Town Democratic Committee Chair Jeanne Frankl acknowledged Schneiderman’s positive relationship with upisland counterparts. Still, she pointed out, “He’s not got a historic relationship with East Hampton Democrats and Suffolk County’s far away from us.” “We think we had the best possible candidate for supervisor last year,” Frankl said of Zach Cohen, who lost to incumbent Bill Wilkinson by just 15 votes. Asked if she’d like to run Cohen again in 2013, Frankl said, “It’s a little ahead of things, but we’ve been hoping so.” “We also have terrific people of our own committed to our agenda,” the party boss continued. Backing Schneiderman would be, “out of the blue for us,” Frankl opined. Reflecting on the notion of bringing Schneiderman back for another stint as supervisor, Frankl took a shot at the current GOP majority on the town
board. ”This is a response by Republican and Independence leaders because of the failure of their candidates. We are not in the same position because our bad stuff is behind us. The Republicans’ bad stuff is heating up right now. I imagine any creditable Republican or Independence candidate would be salivating.” Schneiderman himself is not quite to the point of salivating just yet. “Coming back is definitely on my radar,” he said. “I think about it a lot.” The lawmaker affirmed that a

return would be in response to the desire of town residents. “Pretty much everywhere I go in town,” he reported, “I get people saying ‘We wish you were still here, please come back.’” If he did decide to return and run for town supervisor, Schneiderman said he’d strive to put together a solid ticket of running mates who would work to eliminate the partisan politics that’s dogged the current administration. His potential opponent is of similar sentiment. “I’m the only Democrat that likes Jay,” Cohen declared Monday, offering that he could be running for town supervisor again next year “depending CONTINUED ON PAGE 41.

Independent / Kitty Merrill
How many student artists ever get to display their work in a professional setting? In Springs School the answer is: all of them. For two days last week over 1000 pieces of art crafted by school kids were exhibited at Ashawagh Hall during the district’s fifth annual “Celebration of the Arts.” From droll cartoons to whimsical sculpture, intricate origami to dioramas and dream catchers, miniature to mammoth canvases, the walls in the Springs exhibition space were crammed with an impressive array of efforts by youngsters. The students themselves all had the chance to tour the gallery. According to teacher Colleen McGowan, who was one of the originators of the yearly event, this year’s show highlighted the district’s first Studio in Art class. The class provides high school credits for eighth graders, one of whom will be recognized with an award following a competition judged by a local professional gallery owner. Due to budget constraints, unfortunately, the Studio in Art program was cut this year. The kid’s celebration also highlighted work completed through the district’s visiting artists program. This year the PTA sold raffle tickets to help support the program that pairs local professional artists with students. A drawing for varied prizes was slated to be held during the Springs School concert last night. K.M.

Ergo, I don’t carry a Man Bag. I don’t have a Murse. It always amazes me what women carry around. I’ve seen bags bulging so mightily that a body could be inside. I’ve lifted up bags that must weigh
50 pounds. Women carry these things around doing their daily chores. When they get all dressed up to step out, they leave the big thing in the car and carry a dainty little purse with them, usually one that glitters. These purses are like magician’s hats, because they seem to be bottomless. Women have mastered the art of cramming money, make-up, photos, keys, cellphones,

EDITORIAL
The Mess In Southampton Town Veteran newspaper reporters know there has been a problem at Southampton Town Police headquarters for a long time. Complaints that FOIL requests were ignored and names blacked out from arrest reports go back two decades. More recently, the force’s refusal to assign officers to the East End Drug Task Force – as all the other East End police departments do – caused consternation in some corners, and caused suspicion to fester. The events of recent weeks confirm everyone’s worst fears. The allegations go well beyond the suspension of Lt. James Kiernan. According to published reports, Kiernan looked the other way while a detective under his command allegedly continued to do undercover work even though it was fairly well known among insiders that he was hooked on painkillers. Since Kiernan commanded an undercover detail that made street buys and collared drug addicts, it’s possible the officer helped put some dealers in jail. Should these allegations pan out, there may be criminals in jail demanding new trials and defense attorneys motioning to dismiss their cases on the grounds the arresting officer gave tainted information or even testimony. One word of caution – the word we get on Kiernan is that he’s a straight shooter and a good man. We’re not willing to throw him under the bus until we hear his side of the story. Kiernan’s suspension and the subsequent raid on headquarters by the county district attorney clarifies why the town board went outside the department to hire Bill Wilson as chief last year.

Reinforce Enforcement Dear Rick, As the newspapers state some of our town leaders “aren’t sure of the need” for replacement staff for the Town Ordinance Enforcement Department. What town are you they serving that they actually do not understand the dire need for enforcement of our housing laws to prevent dangerous, illegal, overcrowded, housing? It is inconceivable that East Hampton Board members, including the Supervisor, can listen to constant concerns from its citizens and not see “the need” to minimize these infractions and improve the quality of life for its overtaxed citizens. Please, awake from your deep sleep and act
in the best interests of your legal tax paying citizens. JIM AMAGANSETT
Remembering Dear Editor, As Memorial Day approaches the Hand Aldrich Legion Auxiliary would like to remind our community to support our veterans by wearing a poppy. Distributing these little red paper poppies has been a project of the Legion Auxiliary since its inception in 1922. They are a worldwide symbol of sacrifice, worn to honor the men and women who served and died for our country in all wars. Poppies are handmade by our hospitalized veterans who are able to earn a small wage and gain therapeutic benefits from this work. All donations received are used exclusively to assist and support veterans and their families. The following poem, written during
If reports that have surfaced so far are accurate, Wilson deserves credit for not straddling the blue line, but acting decisively. Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst also acted decisively, seizing records from the department when word came out that papers were being shredded. Those records are now in the hands of the D.A. It’s getting ugly. Since the board hired Wilson, there have been allegations that several attempts to convince Wilson to retire, going so far that a retirement package was dangled in front of him. Then, according to the Southampton Press, another more lucrative offer was made to Wilson. But other sources said Wilson initiated retirement talks after only a few months on the job. Kiernan, it turns out, is a Republican committeeman. There are three Republicans on the town board, and it is believed one or more have been angling to get rid of Wilson. But there is more to the story. There are questions about the chief’s job performance that have nothing to do with the Kiernan case, and some observers, including a local defense attorney we spoke to, think the town board should have interviewed candidates for the chief’s job that were further removed from the local scene – Wilson served as chief of Southampton Village. Regardless of who the chief is now, the cat is out of the bag regarding the department under now retired James Overton, and there is no stuffing it back in. Heads are going to roll, there might be arrests made down the road, and we can only hope what emerges from the rubble is a more open, user-friendly police department whose hierarchy is open with the press and the citizens who pay for it.
World War I, serves as a remembrance of those who died in defense of our country. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. Lt. Col. John McCrae (1872-1918) BRENDA S. BERNTSON, Secretary Hand Aldrich Legion Auxiliary Unit #924
Promises Promises Dear Rick, To Mr. Nicholas Zizelis, you wrote an article two weeks ago re: Supreme Court will now hear the pros and cons of he Healthcare Act. You stated hope that they will give unbiased consideration for their ruling, but then chose to ridicule them for their previous rulings. Is this a threat to make sure they rule the way you want them to, the same way Pres. Obama threatened them? You further stated the dumbest statement came from Scalia who compared forcing people to have health care insurance to forcing people to eat broccoli. I guess you don’t care for “Justice Scalia as you think he solely enjoys and is the biggest fan of his witless wit.” So if the Supreme Court doesn’t vote to uphold Obamacare, they are useless and biased?

Dear Rick, I am disappointed that President Obama has become the first U.S. president to “come out” in support of same-sex marriage. Even more disturbing is his pointing to his Christian faith as a motivation for his position. This is to mock Christianity, for the Bible clearly and unequivocally condemns homosexual acts. The Golden Rule does not sanction the approval of any kind of moral evil. Obama can call himself a Christian or anything else he likes. However, Christianity advances a culture of life. Obama, in stark contrast, advances a culture of death, which is clearly evident in his radical support for abortion (murder) and contraception, which, like homosexuality, thwarts the natural generation of life. Obama has finally taken off his mask and revealed to the world his true intent, which is the annihilation of America. Let us hope his emboldened arrogance will be his own undoing at the polls in November. PAUL KOKOSKI

Poverty Probe In Process It was startling data. Last fall the U.S. Census Bureau released figures showing a dramatic increase in the number of Americans – especially suburbanites – who live in poverty. The news prompted the Suffolk County Welfare To Work Commission to conceive a series of hearings with the theme “Struggling in Suburbia: Meeting the Challenges of Poverty in Suffolk County.” Designed to “tell the often hidden story of poverty in suburbia,” according to Suffolk County Legislative Majority Leader and chair of the Human Services Commission DuWayne Gregory (D, Amityville) and Richard Koubek, chair of the legislature’s Welfare to Work Commission, who are helming the initiative, the hearings will be open to government officials, agency heads, academic experts and the public. Locally, one will be held in Riverhead on June 1 from 9 AM to 1 PM in the Riverhead County Center Auditorium. Hearings in Hauppauge will be held Friday and next Tuesday. Joining Gregory and Koubek in the analysis are John O’Neal, Suffolk County’s Deputy Commissioner of Social Services, Don Friedman from the Empire Justice Center, Jeffrey Reynolds of the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and Kathy Liquori, vice chair of the commission.

Local Kids, Town, And Playground, Get A Boost By Emily Toy
For Southampton youth, playtime is looking a little more pleasurable. Southampton town officials announced last Thursday that Dr Pepper Snapple Group and the national non-profit organization KaBOOM! awarded the town a $15,000 construction grant to benefit local youth, as a part of the corporation’s “Let’s Play” initiative that began in November of 2010. The “Let’s Play” goal is to help families make physical activity a daily priority. “Community members, espe-

cially those with young families, are excited about the opportunity the grant affords,” said Councilman Chris Nuzzi. “We’ve planned improvements to Iron Point Park for some time and look forward to expanding its use.” Nuzzi, who serves as liaison to Southampton Town’s Parks and Recreation Department noted that Flanders is home to about 1100 youth, representing more than a quarter of the year round population. With this grant, kids from the Flanders/Riverside community can get a playground they’ve been asking for, with Southampton’s Youth Bureau Director Nancy Lynott noting “there really is no playground right now.” Over the course of the next three years, Dr Pepper Snapple Group will donate $15 million to KaBOOM!, an organization dedicated to “ensuring there is a great place to play within walking distance of every child.” The two entities are working to build or restore 2000 playgrounds by the end of next year, set to benefit about five million children across the continent. Last year, they reached 528 playgrounds. Lynott said that division is slated to work with Parks and Recreation personnel, along with civic groups to design and build new equipment. “We’re looking for community members to guide the process,” she said. A public meeting is scheduled for tomorrow night at 7 at the Crohan Community Center on Flanders Road to discuss how volunteers can get involved and offer suggestions for additional funding.

S chool D ays Pierson High School Sue Denis, a health instructor at Pierson, has been teaching students CPR since 1994. Over 250 of her students became instructors, and over 2000 successfully completed the course. A group of students recently traveled to Albany to lobby for more state aid. They met with Assemblyman Fred Thiele, who hails from Sag Harbor. Denis would like to see CPR become a mandated high school subject statewide. Thiele and some other legislators are sponsoring legislation. “In New York our out of hospital survival rate is less than 11 percent; in Seattle, it is 50 percent because you cannot graduate high school or get a driver’s licence without CPR certification in Washington State,” Denis pointed out. The American Heart Association recently named Denis Advocate of the Year. She also teaches CPR to community members. For more information e-mail her at sdenis@sagharborschools.org. Students who made the trip included Lilah Yardley, Amber Pagano, Holly Zappola, Jon Paul Sadowsky, Daja Scarlato, Katrina Cafiso, Catherine Musnicki, Ronald Aucapina, and Hope Denon. Riverhead High School Austin Douglas placed sixth in the NYS SkillsUSA competition held in Syracuse last month. Austin is a
M
junior at RHS and attends the Culinary Arts program at H.B. Ward Career and Technical Center under the direction of Chef Thomas Hashagen. Austin had to make a “perfectly poached egg” in less than seven minutes for the Job Demonstration portion of the competition. He had a great time at this prestigious event and looks forward to going again next year! Austin plans on attending Johnson & Wales in Providence, RI in the fall of 2013.
Ross Upper School Ross students are encouraged to investigate, discover and solve problems, and the fruits of their labor are well exemplified at the annual Middle School Science Fair. On May 2, students presented their science projects to the community and fielded questions in the Great Hall in the Center for Well-Being. In the fifth grade, Serena Wecker studied acids and bases, while Ariana DeMattei explored the biological responses of goldfish residing in containers of varying size and shape. In addition, Anna Cauchy studied paper chromatography, or how far ink travels up paper. In the sixth grade, James Ignatowich tested the effect of music on plant growth. He played them a “boring lecture,” pop rock and classical. Indeed, plants appear to like a particular kind of music, as those that were exposed to classical tunes grew the most. However, they all

grew faster than plants that were exposed only to silence. “I learned a lot from this project,” said James. “It was fun. Maybe this could lead to seeing how classical music affects people, too.” Ross student films are often noted for their artistic skill and professionalism and this year is no different. MSG Varsity recognized films by senior Zoe Wang and freshman Brenna Leaver recently. Zoe was named a Tri-State Finalist for MSG Varsity & National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ 2012 V-Awards in the categories of Videography and Best Film Over 5 Minutes for her animated video Curiouser, But Curiouser, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Zoe created the video for her Senior Project. The film is a reflection of her experience as a student in a foreign country learning to navigate a new, ‘dream-like world.’ Zoe’s film was among 2100 entries from high schools across the tri-state area. Winners will be announced on MSG Varsity’s TV channel at 12 PM on May 31. Meanwhile, Brenna Leaver’s short, Doggy Treats, was selected to be shown on MSG Varsity’s “Director’s Cut” series. This new

Count Greenport In The Village of Greenport has approved a proposal for a ferry that will shuttle passengers from the village to Sag Harbor. The Sag Harbor board previously signed off on the project after an environmental review. The shuttle will make nine trips a day during weekends and seven during weekdays during the summer season. Suffolk County must still give its approval for the proposal to move forward.
DEC Reopens Shellfishing In Shinnecock Bay The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced Friday the reopening of about 3600 acres of shellfish lands in the Town of Southampton. These areas have been closed since April, after the DEC’s Bureau of Marine Resources detected saxitoxin, a naturally occurring marine biotoxin, in shellfish in Shinnecock Bay. Closures for shellfish were rescinded in most of the normally certified shellfish lands in western Shinnecock Bay last Friday afternoon. About 315 acres outside the mouth of Weesuck Creek will remain closed for the harvest of shellfish. The decision to reopen included the DEC’s testing of more than 140 shellfish samples for biotoxin since March, with 28 of these samples collected from Shinnecock Bay. Although clams, mussels and oysters are in the clear, the prohibition on the taking of carnivorous gastropods (such as conch, whelk and other marine snails) that was implemented last month remains in effect for all of western Shinnecock Bay lying west of the southbound lanes of the Ponquogue Bridge.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4. last week. The investigation widened when William Wilson Jr. took over as chief. He was told a police officer on the undercover squad was a user and asked the County Internal Affairs Unit to investigate further. It was an open secret the officer had become addicted, a source said. Throne-Holst concurred. “One of the issues going on is that some people knew about this but didn’t say anything.” Last week the town settled a civil suit filed by the family of Tony Bradshaw against the town and a half-dozen members of the police force including Kiernan and Sickles. According to court papers “the defendants violated Bradway’s constitutional rights under the Fourteenth Amendment due to their deliberate indifference to a serious medical need, namely Bradway’s need for medical attention after swallowing a large quantity of cocaine at the time of his arrest on June 9, 2008 — which resulted in his death. Plaintiff also asserts the claims of negligence and wrongful death only against the Town of Southampton based upon the alleged conduct of the individual police officers.” The plaintiffs settled the suit for $70,000. Thomas Telesca, an attorney who represented the Bradway family, said yesterday, “There is a strict confidentiality agreement in place,” and declined to comment further.

Kiernan was a Republican committeeman when Councilwoman Christine Scalera and Councilman Chris Nuzzi were chosen to run, leading Wilson to request an Ethics Board hearing on whether either -- and Councilman Jim Malone, a Conservative on the Republican ticket -- should participate in discussions about Kiernan’s suspension. There has also been an allegation made by Wilson that he was approached about taking a retirement package on two occasions, the latest just a week or so ago, the implication being he would have retired and perhaps not suggested the town suspend Kiernan. Nuzzi said the opposite scenario occurred. “He made that up,” Nuzzi countered. “He approached us.” Nuzzi said there was no correlation between the Kiernan case and the call for Wilson to retire. “There have been any number of disagreements between Wilson and the board,” Nuzzi said. “His management style, overtime costs, and understanding of the issues have been at question for quite some time.” Wilson did not respond to a call for comment by press time. With the DA just ramping up the investigation, all parties concerned realize scrutiny of the town police force is going to intensify. “We’ve asked them to speed this up. They realize this is out of the ordinary,” the supervisor said. “This should have happened years ago. It’s time to get to the bottom of it.” Throne-Holst also revealed former town supervisor Skip Heaney, tried to get [former police chief James] Overton fired “a long time ago.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7. on the needs of the town.” “I feel the most important thing we need in the next election is someone who can work across party lines. I think that’s one of the appeals of Jay,” said Cohen who noted that he, too, has an affinity for non-partisan collaboration. “I like Jay,” Cohen said, “We get along very well. He should endorse me.” Like Frankl, Cohen believes the local GOP would court Schneiderman “to save their increasingly bad reputation and return them to the good old days.” But Cohen speculated Schneiderman could put together “a very strong ticket,” if the Montauk resident chose Councilman Dominic Stanzione from Amagansett and an East Hampton resident like Bill Mott as running mates. “Oh, God. Aren’t we a little early on this?” Stanzione joked Monday. “I’m just trying to get through the day.” The councilman is up for re-election next year, and, like Supervisor Bill Wilkinson and Councilwoman Theresa Quigley hasn’t formally announced a bid for a second term. “I haven’t even thought that far ahead. I think we should focus on governing, not on politics, right now,” he said. Bitter political bickering has been a hallmark of the administration for the past six months. Both Wilkinson and Quigley now routinely lose their tempers on the dais during public meetings and, most agree, will be unlikely to run for re-election. (Wilky did not return a call for comment by press time.) By contrast, town GOP chair Kurt Kappel said of Schneiderman, “He’s popular, people like him and he did a good job as supervisor.” In fact, under Schneiderman’s leadership, East Hampton achieved a historically high bond rating while preserving more open space than any other prior administration. One local elected official predicted, “Jay would win if he ran on a laundry ticket.” Kappel reported that while Schneiderman has expressed an interest in returning to politics in East Hampton Town, there’s been no committee discussion about a potential endorsement. Schneiderman served two terms as town supervisor after he unseated incumbent Democrat Cathy Lester in 1999. In 2003 he bested incumbent Suffolk County Legislator George Guldi, then went on to win bids for re-election handily four more times. Under county term limits, he could run one more time to retain his seat at the horseshoe. He’s never lost an election. If he decides to set his sights on a local run, Schneiderman said, “I expect no shortage of candidates if I decide not to run.” He listed an array of potential successors – most of them former or current Southampton Town Board members – who’d “jump at the opportunity.” The lawmaker was just 37 when

he won his first elected position in 1999. He said he’s often considered his time in office in East Hampton with thoughts along the vein of “If I knew then what I know now.” Schneiderman just celebrated his 50th birthday. There are a few lines around his eyes, his hair’s a bit greyer than it was, but the passage of years has meant a lot more experience under his (slightly larger) belt. “If I do come back,” he said. “I’ll be bringing a breadth of knowledge from my county experience.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Chief of Staff, First District Southern Region, USCG Aux, US Coast Guard Licensed Master
National Safe Boating Week 2011 Bringing It Home - Safely National Safe Boating Week runs from Saturday to May 25 this year. US Coast Guard Forces nation-wide and especially here “Out East” have a lot of plans to make safety a daily, year-long event. This column is about that. National Safe Boating Week By 1958, boating “by the millions” rather than “by millionaires” was in full swing. What Coast Guard statistics showed was that the democratization of boating was coming at a cost – and it wasn’t the 29 cents per gallon for the gasoline. It was accidents and fatalities. The US Congress passed the
Federal Boating Act and the National Safe Boating Week was born upon President Eisenhower’s signature. It was initially run as a committee – US Coast Guard as chairman, with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Power Squadron and the Red Cross as its informal members. It still took some time for the focused attention on boater safety to work its way through long habits and aged traditions. It wasn’t until 1973, when 1,754 people died in boating accidents, that the trend started to reverse. Why? Why else – money, people and untiring focus!
Safety First – The Big Picture Safety isn’t something you put

on like an overcoat. Safety, to be truly effective, needs to be part of your daily habit and part of that is education – day-in, day-out. US Coast Guard Auxiliary Division-18 is all about education. Division 18 is comprised of four flotillas and it is at the flotilla level where the work gets done. Division 18 supports three Coast Guard stations “Out East” – SFO Moriches, Station Shinnecock, and Station Montauk.
Boat Smart. Boat Safe. Wear It In 2012, the “Wear It!” campaign will continue, reminding boaters from coast to coast to put on their life jackets when on the water. The campaign is sponsored by the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the National Safe Boating Council and many other boating organizations. Looking ahead to the 2012 campaign, note that the National Safe Boating Council will offer its free material on its www.safeboatingcampaign. com website. There is nothing stopping marina owners, dive shop proprietors, camp counselors and concerned parents from getting and using those materials. On Saturday at noon the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, in cooperation with West Marine Patchogue, will be holding a “Ready, Set, Wear It!” event. The West Marine store will be opening at 8 AM and the Coast Guard Auxiliarists will be promoting life jacket wear and performing free vessel safety checks for all boats that are trailered in. At 12 PM will be the photo op for the Ready Set Wear It event and it’s our hope to get as many members as possible there wearing their life jackets for the photo op. “Hey,

honey, there’s me!” The simple use of life jackets when engaging in any boating or paddle boat activity saves lives. Obeying and knowing the navigation rules or the nautical “Rules of the Road” through safe boating classes and not drinking alcohol or taking drugs while operating a boat, will save the lives of the boaters and those sharing the water with you. Wearing a life jacket can reduce the number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each year by approximately 80 percent. It is a simple task that has the potential to reduce terrible loss in lives. The goal of National Safe Boating Week is to emphasize the year-round effort to promote safe boating. All who enjoy the waters of our beautiful state are urged to practice safe boating habits. Remember: “Boat Smart. Boat Safe. Wear it.”
Kayak Races And TrawlerFests At $5 per gallon for fuel, we can expect the explosion in the use of paddle sports to continue and the Coast Guard’s Operation Paddle Smart is key to curtailing the injuries and even deaths that these pastimes are piling up statistically. Life Jacket Statistics World War II brought us the inflatable life jacket, as worn by sailors, pilots and submariners. The fabric, which looked like rubber, dried out easily. Talcum powder was used to keep the fabric pliable. Later on, military technology was applied to making consumer life jackets. These have developed through the years to the various styles we see today. But any life jacket, inflatable or otherwise, must be worn to work. Here are the stats: 16 people go in the water with life-jackets on and 15 come out. Sixteen people go in the water without life jackets on – and one comes out. Don’t be a statistic. 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, and we will help you “get in this thing . . . ”
