An out and out ban of helicopters and seaplanes. That’s what a pair of independent planners proposes.

To Cull The Copters?

For years, officials have grappled with strategies for reducing the din generated by helicopter and jet traffic at East Hampton Airport.

This week expert planner Peter Wolf and Ken Lipper, a former deputy mayor from New York City, presented a proposal that, if adopted by the town, would mean an end to operations as we know it at the airport.

More than 500 East Hampton property owners responded by mail to the pair, in support of “major mitigation” of aircraft noise, they said in a November 25 letter to the town board.

From that input, Wolf and Lipper formulated a list of noise mitigation strategies. “Absent meaningful regulation now, the noise problem, which has been building for years, will only get worse,” the two wrote.

Lipper and Wolf call for a ban of all helicopter and seaplane landings and takeoffs at the airport. The facility’s operations should be limited to 9 AM to 5 PM every day, and no more than four craft per hour may land or take off during those hours. The town could auction off landing slots as a way to generate “a substantial fund” to support the facility. All aircraft using the airport would be required to meet noise standards appropriate for a rural community and workable enforcement measures should accompany any regulations.

O v e r t h e y e a r s , t o w n administrations have pointed to grant assurances they said give the Federal Aviation Administration ultimate control over the airport as an obstacle to enacting stringent noise control measures. Some of those assurances, signed when the town accepted grant money, expire at the end of this month. How much local control the town can assume once assurances expire has been a question debated by attorneys for factions on either side of the issue.

Earlier this fall the town’s aviation attorney Peter Kirsch said he was optimistic about the town’s

ability to take control of the facility, provided town officials can create what airport liaison Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez described as “legally defensible” solutions and a transparent record.

Lipper and Wolf’s attorneys also believe the town can assume control of the airport next year. The pair hired the nationally prominent firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore to review their proposal. It “fully comports” with current constraints related to a municipality’s power to regulate its airport, the attorneys opined, adding, “The Proposal reflects a reasonable and non-arbitrary approach to the reduction of noise pollution, and does so in a manner that does not improperly discriminate against aircraft or aircraft operators for reasons other than the amount and timing of the noise they generate, individually and in the aggregate.”

“Reasonable” and “non-arbitrary” were terms Kirsch used during an interview about local control last fall.

There is “no legal obstacle” preventing the town from enacting their proposal, Lipper and Wolf believe. “It is now time for the East Hampton Town Board to exercise its political will to act to protect citizens throughout the East End, rather than support the life style of a miniscule minority,” they said.

Noise control at the airport is a “massive civil equity issue,” Wolf said Monday morning. Relatively few people using helicopters and seaplanes inconvenience thousands of people across the region. There are many other ways to get to Southampton and East Hampton, Wolf said, listing the railroad, jitney and passenger car as other choices.

The town board is receiving recommendations from the aviation industry, noise committees, individuals and “a number of other sources,” Supervisor Larry Cantwell said. The Lipper Wolf proposal will be considered, he said, “along with many other proposals we’ll be evaluating.” Although the chopper ban was said to comport with recommendations from the town-appointed noise committee, the supervisor emphasized the committee’s written report “isn’t final.”

As The Independent went to press yesterday the town board was slated to hear from still more experts. The airport consulting firm Harris, Miller, Miller, and Hanson was scheduled to present results of the second phase of a noise study.

Former supervisor Bill Wilkinson, now a paid consultant for the Friends of the East Hampton Airport Coalition, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Lipper Wolf proposal.

I’m a child of immigrants. So are you.

My dad’s father, Genaro, came from Naples around the turn of the century. He was a fisherman and the word I heard, as a child, was that he had “jumped ship.”

That means he was an illegal. In those days, a lot of Italian men signed on to work on a ship and when the ship docked in New York or Boston or San Francisco or New Orleans, they simply walked off and started a new life. “He jumped ship” was a phrase that I heard a lot when I was a kid.

My grandfather was one of the four million Italians who entered the United States around that time. No other ethnic group had sent so many immigrants in such a short time. He left a few things behind in Italy: poverty, cholera, and malaria.

My grandfather Genaro would wake up early in the morning and, no matter what the time of the year or what the weather conditions were, he would go to Coney Island, strip down to his bathing suit, tie a

BEGGING REPUBLICANS NOT TO SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT

OVER IMMIGRATIONlarge burlap sack around his waist, and plunge into the icy waters of the Atlantic.

He was an incredibly strong swimmer and would reach the end of the Coney Island Pier in a few minutes. There he would open the sack and fill it with mussels that were clinging to the pilings of the pier. He then would put the rope holding the filled sack into his mouth and, with his teeth holding on to his prize, he would swim in to shore. He would empty the mussels into a rickety wagon and would walk the streets of Brooklyn shouting, “Mussels, mussels, fresh mussels. Three cents a pound.”

This is how he was able to care for his wife and seven children.

My mom’s father, Pepe (Joseph), was a tiny man (under 5 feet) who came over from Naples in 1914 with his wife and two children. All his life he dragged a heavy wooden pushcart on his back through the streets of Brooklyn and sold fruit and vegetables. He never learned more than four or five words of English, but that was double the number of English words my grandmother knew. She knew two

words and she only used them when the doorbell rang. She would say “No home.” That would send away any English-speaking intruder.

A l l o f the peop le in my neighborhood were unskilled laborers working construction jobs and breaking their backs as longshoremen.

Italian immigrants were called dagos, wops and guineas. They were all suspected of being, at the very least, thieves; at the very worst, members of the Mafia. In New Orleans, they lynched 10 Italians whose only crime was that they were Italians.

T h e y w e r e h e r o e s . M y grandparents, my parents were heroes. They came to this country to work.

They, along with so many others like them, bought in to the American dream. They made the United States the greatest country in the world.

Now Barack Obama has decided to push for immigration and with great fanfare he has decided to go it alone using Executive Privilege.

His plan calls for expanding de fe r red ac t ion fo r i l l ega l immigrants who came to the U.S. as children – but also for the parents of these U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.

This could allow upwards of 4.5 million illegal immigrant adults with U.S.-born children to stay, according to estimates.

You might ask why he has waited so long. Yes, he could have done it in 2009 when he was God and everyone worshipped him and Democrats had control of both the House and the Senate.

My answer is that Obama is a politician and politicians only think of themselves and their so-called

legacy on the “back nine.” Doing it years ago when he had the power would have been the right thing to do. But doing it now will buy the Democratic Party Hispanic votes, which they need now more than they did then.

Besides, Obama is counting on the Republicans to f ight immigration reform and to screw up, which they often do when they are close to winning.

T h e r e a r e R e p u b l i c a n conservatives who favor deportation of all undocumented immigrants. This is idiotic.

Republicans should be cheering on all immigrants. They are the future of this country.

If we fight their being here, we will lose, and we will deserve to lose.

Republicans should use their control of the House and Senate to introduce legislation that will go even further to help immigrants to become citizens.

Can’t you just see the changes coming with your own eyes?

In the Hamptons, more and more Hispanics are working behind the counters of stores, c o o k i n g a n d w a i t r e s s i n g , bartending, landscaping, working in construction, etc., etc.

Go for breakfast at Estia’s in Sag Harbor. It’s one of the best restaurants in the Hamptons. The staff is all Hispanic. They are a delight. Their smiles make the whole place sparkle and their warm, helpful, cheerful attitude will make your day.

They belong here as much as my grandparents belonged here a hundred years ago.

Let’s celebrate them.If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s

Land farmed by one of the original settlers of Wainscott and in production ever since, will continued to be farmed by the next generation. Last month the East Hampton Town Board voted to split the $7 million cost of development rights to 4.4 acres in Wainscott with the Peconic Land Trust. The Community Preservation Fund will cover the town’s $4.45 million share, with PLT contributing the balance.

Located on the corner of Beach Lane and Wainscott Main Street, the prominent farmland parcel is likely known to most residents. Speaking at a public hearing on the purchase, town director of land acquisition and management Scott Wilson said, “Many of you may be familiar with

Farmland on Beach Lane in Wainscott will stay that way, thanks to a partnership between the town and the Peconic Land Trust.

the parcel as you buy vegetables from the farm stand located on this piece.”

The town has already made considerable strides in preserving its agricultural tradition, thanks to partnered purchases of the adjacent Babinski Farm and the Conklin parcel across the street. It’s the “third leg of the stool” in Wainscott, Rebecca Chapman of PLT offered.

The Land Trust sought donations from community members to come up with its share of the purchase price. Some 85 families contributed in amounts ranging from $100 to $200,000. Chapman mentioned philanthropist Ronald Lauder in particular. He “stepped up to the plate” and contacted friends who don’t even live in the Wainscott area.

Combined with other PLT donors there have been “very significant contributions,” Chapman reported.

The Wainscott Citizens Advisory Committee offered unanimous support of the purchase and Averill Geus, an author whose focus is East Hampton history said she was “so thrilled” by the prospect of preserving the property. “That farmland has been farmed since the beginning of Wainscott,” she enthused. “The land is owned by descendants of the first settler of Wainscott whose name was John Osborn.”

Moving from the large agricultural acquisition to a tiny parcel in Springs, the town board voted on November 20 to use $220,000 from the CPF to buy a .44 acre piece

located on Accabonac Road at the intersection with Old Stone Highway and Neck Path. “Good things come in small packages,” Zach Cohen, of the town’s nature preserve committee, remarked during the public hearing.

The land “sets the tone” for a historic section of properties that runs to the cemetery. It also is ripe for return to a meadow habitat. Meadows are the environments that have disappeared the most and “we have the least of,” he observed, expressing the hope the property could be returned t its original state.

The owner of the land, Eileen Roaman, kept bees and Cohen said he’d love to see the land brought back to a meadow and a home for bees. That would be a “perfect combination” he offered.

Southampton Town officials hosted a publ ic hearing on legislation banning single-use plastic bags by retail stores at checkout last month. If passed, the ban would take effect beginning April 22, 2015, on Earth Day.

While most East End town officials are for the ban, naysayers are concerned about the public losing its right to choose whether they want paper or plastic.

I n Oc tobe r , mayo r s and supervisors of several East End municipal i t ies announced a coordinated effort to consider implementing a regional ban of single-use plastic bags as an initiative aimed at eliminating one of the most common lasting forms of litter, according to a press release from Southampton Town.

“I think everyone agrees that eliminating single-use plastic bags as a form of litter is an excellent goal,” said Southampton Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst in a statement. “And working together to enact legislation on a regional basis provides an opportunity to achieve the greatest results and send a coordinated and nonpartisan message about the measure’s

Ban The Bagsenvironmental significance, while ensuring a level playing field for East End businesses.”

Both Southampton Village and East Hampton Village implemented their respective bans in 2011 and 2012, making them the first municipalities to do so in the region.

“Worldwide, the accumulation of plastic pollutes miles upon miles of shoreline and extends to all depths of the sea, harming our environment and ourselves, as well as marine and other wildlife,” said East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell. “Without this regional effort among local towns and villages, the plastic bags targeted by this initiative would only continue the detrimental build up of litter across the East End and beyond.”

A c c o r d i n g t o n a t i o n a l l y documented use and recovery of plastic checkout bags, 2012 alone saw 104 billion plastic checkout bags used in the United States. That’s 700,000 tons. The recovery rate of those bags was 7.1 percent, or about 7.4 billion bags (about 50,000 tons). Over a half a million tons end up in landfills, incinerators, as litter or in local waters each year.

“The plastic bag ban has been very well received in Southampton V i l l age ,” s a id Mayor Mark Epley. “From an environmental perspective, it was simply the right thing to do. And residents have adjusted easily to bringing their own bags. It’s a small change in our everyday habits that is leading to real environmental benefits, and I strongly encourage other municipalities to join the effort.”

The third public screening of John Barrett's original documen-tary, Reel Montauk will be held on Saturday, December 6 at 7 PM at the East Hampton Town Historical Farm Museum following the Farm Museum’s Christmas party.

Reel Montauk uses old footage, animation, and original music with insightful interviews of long-time local residents. The film ex-plores the natural beauty and rich history of Montauk. Reel Montauk is also scheduled to screen on Thursday, February 19 from 7 to 8 PM at the Bridgehampton Library.

The Santas are coming to the East End and they’re coming in full force.

This Saturday, nine bars and restaurants on Main Street in Riverhead will come together for the North Fork’s first ever SantaCon, a pub crawl set to raise money for New Beginnings Community Center for The Brendan House Project.

The holiday-themed crawl, an international event that stretches from New York to London to Paris, and notorious for “ho’ing for charity,” will feature participants dressed up as Jolly Old St. Nick, moving from one establishment to the next.

All net proceeds made from the bracelets ($10 each) sales at Riverhead SantaCon will go to support The Brendan House Project, a long-term care residence for veterans and civilians with physical and cognitive disabilities. New Beginnings Community Center in Medford is committed to an ongoing campaign to raise awareness of Traumatic Brain Injury and other physical and cognitive disabilities, aiding in developing rehabilitation and management resources currently lacking in those areas.

Riverhead SantaCon starts at 3 PM and continues until midnight. Special promotions and different activities will be offered at all nine of the participating restaurants and bars. Bracelets will be available at all locations for $10, cash. For credit card purchases contact the Suffolk Theater’s box office at 631-727-4343.

Participating vendors include the Suffolk Theater, Joe’s Garage, Cliff’s Rendezvous, Dark Horse Tavern, Hotel Indigo, Digger O’Dells, Tweeds, Vines and Hops, and Crooked Ladder Brewing Company.

While SantaCons in bigger cities have a strict ‘head to toe’ rule when it comes to costumes, stating ‘None of that just a hat nonsense,’ Riverhead SantaCon is a little softer on the subject, according to a press release from the Suffolk Theater. “Well it’s encouraged. It is SANTACON after all and not jeans-and-a-poloCon . . . BUT in the holiday spirit we’ll let it slide, as long as you’re no scrooge.”

Dick Carlson, 90Naval architect Richard Douglas

Carlson died on November 24. He was 90.

As a ten-year old boy, Dick Carlson designed and built his first boat, which he sailed around Shelter Island, often with the family dog at the bow. Though his design skills were mostly self-taught, Dick studied engineering in college and worked for yacht designers Philip L Rhodes and M. Rosenblatt & Sons in New York before opening a one-man design firm and moving it to Shelter Island in 1960.

ObituaryHe loved beautiful racers of all

kinds, especially horses and boats. After completing his naval service in the Pacific Theater during World War II, Dick embraced his long time love of thoroughbred horses and ultimately became a trainer, winning his first race with a $117 mutual. After three years of training horses, he returned to designing boats.

His best -known and most controversial design was the Cutlass – a 23-foot 7-inch masthead sloop with a unique reverse shear and transom that enabled him to guarantee his work, telling his

clients that should they not win at least half of their races he would buy the boat back from them. There were no takers, and many of his clients became life-long friends.

All but three of his designs were for cruising sailboats under 45-feet, suitable for ocean racing. “Instead of finding clients, I would design a boat that I liked and the boat would find the client. I discovered that Americans don’t really like true sailboats so my market was in England, Australia, New Zealand and South America,” Dick said.

For many years, Dick Carlson was the only practicing naval architect on Eastern Long Island. He also served as Measurer for many yacht-racing organizations and surveyed hundreds of boats, which he would often deliver to their new owners. His yearly Christmas card drawings were highly prized by sailors and were frequently displayed year round in marina offices.

He was a founder of the Midget Ocean Racing Club. An extremely successful racer, he sailed his boats without a motor until local racing rules demanded that he install one.

He was born in Montclair, N.J. to Oscar Ludwig and Dicie Enita Carlson.

After summering on Shelter Island, the family eventually moved

there permanently.His first marriage to Mary Jane

Zugelder ended in divorce. In 1971, he met Joan Tyor Martines of New York City at the Storm Trysail races on Block Island and they married and moved to Sag Harbor. He leaves a daughter, Dicie Tyor Carlson, of New York City. Stepdaughter Catherine Perry Martines predeceased him as did his brother, Robert Carlson of Shelter Island.

There will be a memorial gathering of friends and relatives on Sunday, January 11, at 2 PM at the Carlson residence, 140 Division Street in Sag Harbor.

Briefly put, donating an organ can save someone’s life.

On the other hand, it probably hurts to give.

Many of you, aware of my many magnanimous gestures to society and my selfless concern for the public, might be surprised to know I am not (yet) registered to be an organ donor.

An organ donor can benefit as many as eight other people. Basically, being an organ donor is like being Kentucky Fried Chicken. Doctors go to the organ donor store and instead of saying, “Let me see . . . I’ll take two legs, a wing, two thighs and a breast” they say, “OK, give me, ummmm, a kidney, a liver, and a couple eyes – extra crispy. Could I also get fries and a Diet Coke with that?”

One of my problems with the whole process is that we learned that Jesus rose from the dead. I don’t

The Idiot’s Guide To Organ Donations

want to die and then find out a zillion years later that we are going to come back and start the whole thing over again and I’ll have to make do without my lungs. It would be really hard to breathe.

Also, I want the doctor ’s undivided attention if I am seriously injured. Imagine you are in a car wreck and the responding doctor has a niece who needs a new kidney.

“How’s it look for the driver?” the ambulance guy would ask.

“He looks real good,” the doctor will say, “but I’m afraid his liver has to go. Help me get it out and put it in my brief case so I can ummm . . . study it later.”

I should say up front, any doctor who thinks my liver is usable isn’t a very good doctor. In fact, I’m on the lookout for a new one so if anyone sees a healthy liver hanging around an accident scene, text me up.

To become a donor simply go to

the Department of Motor Vehicles. (I can’t believe I just used “simply” and “DMV” in the same sentence.)

First, take a number. No wait – it’s not a number, it’s a letter followed by a number. This is so the DMV can screw with your brain. You’ll be sitting there holding C-112.

After what seems like an eternity the numbers will start appearing on the screen above the clerks. C-107, and then C-108 down at window 12. Then C-109, and then C-110. After a minute C-111 will appear on window five. Then you see a guy leave window six and the clerk is waiting for the next customer and you gather your paperwork. You start walking – F-128! OH HELL! Then the Gs run the entire gamut, then the Ds start rolling.

Finally you get called up after a two-hour wait and you are in a piss poor mood. “Lady, all I want to do is register to become an organ donor.”

“OK, Cover your left eye and read the last three lines on that chart.”

“Wait! Why do I have to check my eyes to donate an organ? Even if I have poor vision in my left eye it would be better than the guy I’m giving it to because he would be like, BLIND, right?”

“I can call security if you like, sir,” she says, annoyingly chewing (and clicking) her gum the entire conversation.

I know a lot about this because

I did my homework, right there on the website, DMV.org. Its slogan, by the way, is “The DMV made simple.” Really. I submit the only way to make the DMV experience simple is to plow it under (and think of all the organs that will become available.)

Here are a few things you may not know: you can be an organ donor regardless of age. This worries me. I don’t want some old guy’s hip, for example. And I don’t want some little baby’s well, you know, um, weenie. I’d be crying all the time.

Another thing that scares me is they sell organs on the black market. You hear these stories all the time. A guy is number 1,023,086 on the list to get a new heart and all of a sudden you find out he got a transplant. How? He bought it on the black market, that’s how.

Middle Eastern guys with old station wagons come down the block all the time peddling this stuff. They ring a cowbell. “Fruits! Vegetables! Lungs!” I bought a nice SONY TV just the other day but it’s stuck on one channel – the Arabic channel. Makes you wonder how that heart will perform.

I’ve decided to wait a little while longer before deciding whether to become an organ donor, but I urge all of you to sign up ASAP. My kidneys have been acting up ever since Oktoberfest.

In Search Of The TruthIt’s no longer about politics. None of us, regardless of party affiliation, can honestly

ignore what is now being revealed as a systematic and deliberate White House policy of lying to the American people.

When MIT professor Jonathan Gruber inadvertently revealed that the Obama strategy to pass Obamacare was to lie about some of the negative consequences of its adoption, the president quickly dismissed his statements. Gruber, not realizing he was being taped, told a gathering that Obama was “relying on the stupidity of the American people.” The president countered, stating Gruber was not part of the team that helped put the Affordable Health Care bill together and not privy to the details.

Apparently, Obama didn’t realize not all Americans are as stupid as he thinks. Journalists from The Wall Street Journal examined White House logs and discovered Gruber had been there almost two dozen times in a six-month period beginning in January 2009, when Obamacare was being hotly debated. Many of the visits lasted for hours, and Gruber sat in with the very shapers of the Obamacare bill -- clearly, he was a key participant.

Last week it was discovered that the administration added about 400,000 bogus Obamacare participants to the rolls. It is noteworthy because Obama pledged to sign up seven million Obamacare registrants during the first year, and he trumpeted that “fact” before the elections. Conveniently, the “error” was “discovered” after Election

Day. Of those signees, many simply signed on for Medicare, a free program, through the government portal, which they were eligible for anyway. The implication was they were paying customers.

And of course, there was the lie that we could all keep our existing plans if we wanted to. According to Gruber, it was understood early on that would not be the case.

Obama’s insistence on feeding misinformation to the American people was on full display during his speech outlining his plan to unilaterally change immigration laws. Virtually every statistic he cited was erroneous, fact checkers said, apparently fudged to bolster his claim that his executive decision to offer amnesty to some five million immigrants was somehow justified. Most appalling is the fact that among that number are hundreds of dangerous felons who are in this country illegally.

Unfortunately for the president, the American people are beginning to see through the clouds of misinformation. The last election continued a four-year trend: Obama now ranks among the most unpopular presidents in history. The bloodbath Democrats took in November clearly is a repudiation of both Obamacare and the president’s insistence on forcing his version of immigration reform.

The trend to simply lie to the American people is troubling, but it is downright scary when we consider the possibility that we may not be getting the straight facts about terrorism, and the nuclear capabilities of our enemies.

What else is the White House concealing from us?

No SurpriseDear Mr. Murphy,

In a letter to the editor published in The Independent on November 5 (“Good Intentions”) and in The Southampton Press on November 6 (“Hatchet Job”), Michael Chiarello, a supporter of deposed Congressman Tim Bishop, referred to The Independent as a “rag” fit only to wrap fish. I beg to differ.

The reporters who work for The Independent write with the same degree of professionalism and integrity that one finds in major-city newspapers. Even though The Independent lacks the large staff of the mainstream press, The Independent has managed to call attention to important issues such as questionable use of motels in Hamptons Bays, illegal

use of CPF funding in East Hampton and shabby treatment of a handicapped woman in Southampton.

Access to different newspapers and different points of view insures that readers do not live in a sugar-coated reality where incompetent, disingenuous or malicious conduct on the part of the Democratic Party cohort is conveniently ignored. Thus I believe an observation made by myself after the last election bears repeating: I have only to step outside my door and glance in either direction to see the need for reform. It comes as no surprise that Democrats oppose a free press.

SUSAN CERWINSKI

CorrectionDear Editor,

On November 13, you received a letter to the editor from me that contained an error in the first sentence. The first sentence read, “As we approach Thanksgiving, there

has been a lot of talk about ‘humanely raised’ turkeys, and companies such as Butterball have placed ‘Certified Humane’ labels on their packaging.” Butterball’s label actually reads, “American Humane Certified.” Would you kindly make that correction?

Thank you for your time, and I apologize for the error.

MICHELLE KRETZER, PETA FOUNDATION

Successful Presidency?Dear Editor,

Well the election is over and it went the way we expected. Voter turnout was terrible. Only 36.3 percent of eligible voters cast votes, the worst turnout in 72 years with only the 1942 election lower at 33.9 percent. The result was a combination of systematic politically executed schemes instituting voter suppression by the Republicans combined with naive, lackadaisical, plain laziness

by the Democrats. More people went and shopped on Black Friday than went to the polls. Shameful.

I decided to actually look at what has transpired since President Obama’s election in January ‘09 when the Executive Branch changed hands

Unemployment in ‘09: 7.8 percent. Now: 5.8 percent.

GDP Growth in ‘09: -5.4 percent. Now: 3.5 percent.

Deficit GDP in ‘09: 9.8 percent. Now: 2.8 percent.

Dow Jones Index: in ‘09:.7.949 . Now: 17,573

Consumer Confidence in ‘09: 37.7. Now: 94.5

Millions of American who could not afford health care are now for the first time receiving coverage due to President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which is only just approaching those of all the advanced industrial countries. And the numbers

grow daily.Congressional approval: 11 percent (9

percent just prior to midterm election).President’s approval: 47 percent (lower

by Truman, Carter and Ford).In six years under President Obama,

notwithstanding having to deal with the worst Congress in our nation’s history proudly admitting its primary goal is to destroy President Obama’s Presidency and limit it to one term, which failed, we’ve made incredible progress as a country. In the face of the incredible obstruction, the President has continued to fight for “We the People” and lead us forward while his opponents fought for the 5/4 Supreme Court “Distortion of People.” That’s what a successful Presidency looks like.

NICHOLAS ZIZELIS

Who cooked your Thanksgiving dinner?

Donna SagerMy husband cooked. It was just us. We had aroast chicken. We were here for the weekendand wanted to avoid hauling a lot of leftoversback to the city. My one contribution to thedinner was a gourmet cranberry sauce Ibought. And I forgot to put it on the table!

Andrea GroverMy sister-in-law cooked the entire dinner andthere were about 20 people there. She was inthat kitchen for at least a day and a half.Everyone was very appreciative. But I’m notsure anyone understands what goes intocooking a meal of that size and caliber.

Ken GilpinMy brother cooked the dinner. There were nineof us there. And the turkey was quite large. Itwas 34 pounds. I’ll bet he had to start cookingthat turkey the day before Thanksgiving. Thefood was just great. And we all helped clean upafterwards.

Betty YoungI did the cooking. We had my son and anothercouple with us. We were very untraditional thisyear. We figured we’d had enough roastedturkeys for a lifetime. So we made chickencrepes. Everyone was quite happy. After all, it’sreally about being together.

Footpaths Celebrated

This Saturday morning, the Southampton Trails Preservation Society will host two hikes to celebrate the opening of the Hamlet-to-Hamlet Footpaths. Starting at 10 AM at Sag Harbor’s Mashashimuet Park, STPS will offer the choice of two guided hikes: one that’s about three miles long to Bridgehampton, the other clocking in at five miles and ending near Trout Pond in Noyac.

STPS has planned these hamlet-to-hamlet footpaths to connect some of Southampton Town’s villages through existing woodland paths. Although only in its first stage, the footpaths are expected to eventually link Southampton village and North Sea, and ultimately stretch beyond the Shinnecock Canal in Hampton Bays and Westhampton Beach.

On Saturday, the hikes will start at 10 AM, with an opening ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 AM. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend.

Eye On Education

Last month, the Southampton School Board turned down a $2.6 million dollar grant that would have provided about 300 more instructional hours for its students.

It was reported several parents at a community hearing spoke against the longer school day, with some parents concerned their kids’ free time with family and friends would be curtailed.

Let’s look at the time U.S. students spend in classes. The typical school day is between six and seven hours long. That represents about 25 percent of a day in the life of a

No To Longer School Daysstudent. The school year is 180 days (or less) in duration. Or, another way of looking at it is students have a minimum of 180 days free.

It’s apparent our students are not exactly over-taxed with instructional time, and many believe the limited school scheduling is a factor in our country’s low ranking in academic performance compared with other industrial nations.

The 180-day school year was devised at the turn of the 20th century and was instituted because children were needed to work on the farms during the growing season.

Well we’ve obviously evolved from an agrarian society to a techno-industrial one, yet the antiquated school year calendar endures.

More time in school doesn’t necessarily mean more learning. But the additional time can provide an opportunity to positively affect achievement for students at all levels of learning. The additional time could be used to provide much needed tutorial assistance for kids experiencing problems in learning. And for those achieving at higher levels, school would be able to offer enrichment courses and activities that they’re unable to do with the existing schedule.

If you put this issue up to a vote by students they would probably oppose the increased time. But if school officials coupled an extended time schedule with a detailed plan of expanded educational programs and opportunities, it might be

viewed more favorably. A few of the possible program extensions are:

-More opportunities in the arts, i.e. learning a musical instrument, the performing arts, graphic arts, etc.

-Expanded foreign language offerings.

-The possibility for students to complete graduation requirements in three instead of four years.

-Offering some vocational training on site.

-Locally, linking up with a program such as Project Oceanology where students spend sessions aboard a laboratory boat from that New London company learning about the local marine life, condition of our bays, pollution problems, marine species, etc. (We did this in Sag Harbor more than 20 years ago.)

-Utilizing the talent pool of local writers, artists, business people and others for involvement working with students and teachers.

The sad fact is that the schools get so little use and they really should serve as community centers with a wide range of offerings for all community members available beyond the regular school day and the 180-day school year.

Some are concerned about the expenses involved, but another way of looking at expenses is the reality that these multi-million dollar buildings and other tax-supported resources are left dormant more than 50 percent of the time.

It’s a terrible waste of an expensive tax-supported investment. This is reminiscent of the dry-docked warships tied up for years along the Hudson River and that are now relegated to being tourist attractions.

Consolidation Note: For all those school consolidation advocates, take notice of what happened in the vote to consolidate the Southampton and Tuckahoe School Districts.

Southampton voters turned down the merger plan. Why? Because if the two districts consolidated, Southampton school taxes would increase while Tuckahoe school taxes would significantly decrease. This is the inevitable fate of any consolidation attempts among school districts with disparate school tax rates.

Voters in districts who will see their school taxes increase are going to vote no and that’s why consolidation of school districts on the East End is an exercise in futility.

FANTASY SP RTSFANTASY SP RTSBy Skippy Brown

The Fantasy Football playoffs commence this week and if you made the grade, congratulations are in order. We made the cut in three of our four Yahoo leagues; we would have gone a perfect 4-4 if not for the fact that Jimmy Graham, one of the most reliable players in the NFL, put up a giant zero last week, just when we needed him most.

Unpredictability has been the operating word all season. Never before have so many “sure” things gone belly up. On the other hand, valuable Fantasy players came out of the woodwork almost every single week. Even now, going into Week 14.

Who? Johnny Manziel, of course. After not playing the entire season Manziel was inserted this week and

It’s Never Too Latepromptly led the Browns to a score. It’s quite possible he will start from now on – and he’s capable of being a difference maker.

Who would have thought Justin Forsett, who was fourth on the Baltimore depth chart at the beginning of the season, would emerge as a legitimate Number One RB? What happened? Well, for openers Ray Rice, the Colts’ starter, punched out his wife in an elevator. Then Forsett outplayed the other running backs on the team.

Forsett is third in the NFL in rushing yards, and didn’t become the team’s full time feature back until a few weeks ago.

How about the rookie wide receivers? Usually, rookie WRs seldom

make impact in their first year. No one told that to Odell Beckham Jr. After missing half the season with an injury Beckham has emerged as one of the best receivers in football. You could have had him anytime you wanted him – if you took him around Week 5 or so (we did) he probably earned you a playoff berth.

Mike Evans of Tampa Bay is a similar story. He was available for most of the year, and now he’s vying for Rookie of the Year honors with Beckham and Buffalo’s Sammy Watkins, yet another wide receiver.

Jeremy Hill, Tre Mason, Denard Robinson – those guys were drafted by fewer than 10 percent of league owners. Now each is a star. They, along with the other names mentioned above, are proof positive that you don’t win your league on draft day, you win it during the season by shrewdly working the Waiver Wire.

It’s not over yet. There are still players out there that will help you in the next few weeks. The most obvious

emerge because the player ahead of them gets hurt. Whenever you hear or see a player get hurt, rush to the waiver wire and put a claim in for his back-up.

NFL teams that are not going to make the playoffs start experimenting. If they have players with expiring contracts, or if they have players who have huge salaries that count against the salary cap, they may want to give some of the other players a chance to play more in order to evaluate them. Charles Sims of Tampa Bay fits that bill, as does Preston Parker of the Giants.

Look around. The easiest way to find out if a player is emerging is to chart his snaps – how often he plays in the course of a game. Football Outsiders is one of many websites that does it for you.

Even if you didn’t not make the playoffs, there is fun to be had. All the “daily” sites are in full swing, like Draft Kings, Fan Duel, etc.

There is only a month of fun left, so take advantage of it.

East Hampton Village Police responded en masse Saturday morning around 11:30 when a terrifying call came from Apaquogue Road – two dogs were spotted running near Georgica Beach. Armed personnel, some carrying assault weapons, were mobilized.

Search planes (helicopters are too noisy) scanned the area. A K-Nine Unit was brought in – that just made the problem worse. In the end the wild, salivating beasts somehow eluded capture but beware – they are still out there, and no one is safe until they are hunted down like, well, dogs.

complained to East Hampton Village Police that his house was being hit with birdshot Saturday afternoon. Police ascertained hunters from across the pond were the culprits. (Ya think?) They were

by Riverhead Police for Driving While Intoxicated shortly before 5 AM Thursday. Southampton Town Police said a vehicle skidded off the roadway onto the front lawn of the “We’ll Floor U” store in Hampton Bays and ascertained Carlos H. Regalado, 18, had been drinking excessively. He was also charged with driving without a valid license and other traffic infractions.

Village police, and county sheriff department officers set up a number of checkpoints in the area from 8 PM last Wednesday

until 4 the following morning and logged three DWI arrests: Tiskwa T. Reddick, 25, from the Shinnecock Reservation, Danilo Donda, 52, from Southampton, and Magdaleno Dejesus, 25, of Hampton Bays.

Riverhead Police did likewise and nailed five motorists suspected of DWI: Denzel Faines, 23, and Marlon Chacon-Salgado, 33, both of Riverhead; Mynor Depaz Javier, 20, of Cutchogue; and Larry T. Willis, 22, of Calverton.

Peddling For A CauseEast Hampton Village Police said

they observed a trio of individuals peddling wares on Main Street and David’s Lane. When questioned the suspects said they were raising money for breast cancer awareness by selling “makeover essentials.” however, they had no paperwork indicating they were authorized to do so. They were sent packing with a written warning.
