played with pooches, courtesy of the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, to lift spirits, and “pup-up” the party.

On September 10, the SASF brought canine friends to the annual senior picnic at Red Creek Park in Hampton Bays as part of the foundation’s budding foster care program. As a result, 150 senior attendees experienced one of the best types of therapy available: pet therapy.

According to psychologytoday.com, having pets around has a direct association with improved human health. Benefits of pet therapy can include lower heart attack risks for humans, a reduced need for medication, reduction in loneliness, agitated behaviors and depression, as well as an increase in engagement , we l l be ing , nutritional intake, and social interactions, especially amongst the senior citizen community, studies show.

Since its inception in 2010, SASF’s foster care program has featured several options to provide temporary

Kermit the pit bull kept some seniors company at the annual senior picnic.

Seniors Picnic With Poochesand permanent homes for animals that are sick, injured, too young, or have behavioral issues preventing them for being adoptable in their given state. These efforts include animals going out for a sleepover so they can feel the comforts of a home and get out of the kennel for a night or weekend.

These trial runs, according to Linda Goldsmith, a public relations and advertising administrator at SASF, help the foundation gauge how the animal will act in a permanent home and whether any corrections are needed to help make the animal more adoptable.

In turn, according to the online pet therapy organization Paws and Hearts, the introduction of animals into senior’s lives, especially if they’re patients, is a way of humanizing health care, while at the same time reducing boredom, anxiety, and emotional and physical pain.

“We encourage foster care for our animals who need a little extra TLC mostly,” Goldsmith explained.

At the picnic, while the Banjo Rascals played classic oldies music, and Kevin Kruger, founder of Party

Kidz, provided some clown comedic relief and face painting, Kermit, a gray, smiling pit bull made the rounds, delighting senior picnickers and staff members alike.

Among the bocce and horseshoe games, barbecue setup, card games, picnic tables, and balloons at the festivities, Kermit and other

puppy pals perked up their human counterparts’ day.

Studies at the University of Michigan confirm “a few minutes of stroking a pet prompts the release of ‘feel good’ hormones such as serotonin, prolactin and oxytocin, and decreased levels of primary stress hormone cortisol.”

East Hampton High School won’t have a football team this year.

It appears parents are against having their children’s brains scrambled in the name of sport.

When you throw out the summer people and the weekenders, East Hampton is like any other small town, anywhere in the country.

Parents all over this country are reading about concussions and early-onset dementia and are wisely saying “NO” to football.

This is another of the problems that will, in time, threaten the future of football in this country.

Wife and child abuse by 275-pound men with IQs of 90 is a problem that can easily be solved.

All that the commissioner needs is the guts to insert a clause in every football player’s contract that states the contract will be null and void the minute a player is involved in any incident of physical abuse. This includes police reports. There are many reports but sadly there are too few convictions because the victims are afraid to press charges. A police report and a picture of a swollen face or a black eye should be enough.

The league owners and the unions must agree that any player who is

FOOTBALL - THE NEW ASBESTOSinvolved in such an incident will be barred from football for life. No second chances.

It will take one, maybe two wife-beating, children-maiming morons losing their $10- or $20- or $40-million contracts and their careers and the problem will be over.

A tougher problem will be negligence lawyers who are licking their chops because they’ve found a new gold mine – football.

Opportunist negligence lawyers like John “I’m rich and handsome so why can’t I be President” Edwards, who made millions snookering hayseed juries to get them to award million-dollar medical malpractice suits, are crawling out from under their favorite rocks.

Football may save their day in the nick of time.

Asbestos and cigarettes have just about run their course.

Now it’s football’s turn, and the new link to future multi-million-dollar lawsuits is the concussion, which is a deep, significant bruise to the brain.

Just about every person who ever played football has, during the course of his career, experienced some type of concussion. Years ago it was called “having your bell rung.”

From now on it will be called “making the cash register ring.”

Ask John Abraham, a great football player, about what he did yesterday and he won’t remember. Last week the Arizona Cardinals placed Abraham on season ending injured reserve because of a concussion he can’t shake. Abraham is just 36 years old. Sadly, this is just the beginning of his neurological problems.

The family of Junior Seau, who committed suicide a few years ago, is filing a lawsuit against the NFL for wrongful death over head injuries he suffered during his career. Researchers who studied Seau’s brain found evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a degenerative disease that has been found in a number of other athletes who have passed away. The disease is caused by concussions and other repeated head traumas and causes symptoms like memory loss, mood disorders, depression and early-onset dementia.

Seau’s family has rejected the settlement of a class action lawsuit that was recently reached with the NFL and NFL Properties and retired NFL players, their representatives and family members.

Talk about closing the barn after the horse is out . The settlement provides for monetary awards for diagnoses of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia and certain cases of CTE (a neuropathological finding) diagnosed after death.

The Seau lawsuit alleges that the NFL did not do enough to protect Junior Seau from head injuries, saying the league added to “the health risk to players by promoting the game’s violence and lauding players for returning to play despite being rendered unconscious and/or disoriented due to their exposure to sub-concussion and concussive forces.”

When the judgment in the Seau case is handed down, negligence lawyers will pounce. If there is a settlement in the Seau case, negligence lawyers will pounce. Pouncing is what negligence lawyers do best.

It doesn’t end with the National

Football League. Wait until players come after their individual teams. Teams are quaking in their boots.

One cannot watch a football game without a television commercial spewing propaganda as to how committed football is to player safety.

Tell that to the families of Chicago Bear Dave Duerson, Philadelphia Eagle Andre Waters and Atlanta Falcon Ray Easterling. Like Junior Seau, they are former NFL players who committed suicide.

Tell it to Al Toon, who for years has experienced sensitivity to light, irritability, nausea, lapses in concentration and memory from a severe case of post-concussion syndrome brought on by the nine – count them, nine – concussions he suffered while he was a star wide receiver for the New York Jets.

It doesn’t end there. It reaches out to every college in the country that fields a football team.

Notre Dame, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Florida, Texas – any college football factory has thousands of former players who, after four years of brutal practices and vicious games, can sue for a lifetime of headaches, bad dreams, dizzy spells and a future of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

A concussion is a concussion, no matter what brand of football one has played.

How far will negligence lawyers go?

Imagine this phone call:“Hello, is this Richie Safer?”“Yes, sir.”“Are you 14 years old?”“Yes, sir.”“When you were 11 years old did

you play Pop Warner football?”“Yes, sir.”“Did you ever hurt your head?”“I don’t remember.”“Good, good. Tel l me, do

you sometimes have trouble remembering the answers in your arithmetic class?”

“Oh, yes.”“You do! Put your father on the

phone, Richie. Tell him that there is a lawyer on the phone who is going to make him rich.”

East Hampton Town agreed to pay Jorge Kusanovic, a former employee of its Parks and Recreation Department, $81,000 last week to settle a discrimination suit. The action was the culmination of events that transpired more than seven years ago under the scandal-scarred administration of Supervisor Bill McGintee and Deputy Supervisor Pete Hammerle.

The Independent broke the story in its April 18, 2007, edition. The story outlined a series of discriminatory actions towards Latino employees –like Kusanovic – and favoritism for Democratic Party insiders.

The town board then was composed entirely of members of the Democratic Party. Insiders are saying the settlement was forged to prevent damaging testimony about members of the party. However, town officials noted there was no admission of wrongdoing contained in the settlement.

“It was a tolerated policy to discriminate,” said Tom Horn, a town employee and union leader at the time. Ironically, Horn is now an attorney – his associate, Lawrence Kelly, represented Kusanovic in the latest proceedings. “There were individuals who held those opinions and that’s what the record shows.”

In 2007 the Independent printed allegations made by town employees that the “Parks and Recreation is a dumping ground, awash with patronage appointments.”

Kusanovic and others said, “There has been a systematic effort to remove Latino seasonal workers and replace them with insiders and friends of those connected, and a policy to punish whistleblowers and silence critics.”

Hammerle, the town board’s liaison to the department, was accused of funneling part-time jobs to the siblings of friends and party insiders.

At the time Hammerle countered, stating that some employees were slacking off and turned bitter when a new boss tried to reel them in.

He said the department was for a time in disarray because workers took advantage of the absence of Ken Scott, the superintendent who had battled a prolonged illness. But Scott, in a letter to The Independent, scoffed at that explanation.

Several employees complained in 2007 that Michelle Leach was appointed to a supervisory position in the department despite the fact that she was very young (mid-twenties) and that there were other

Town Payout Tied To Scandal?veteran employees equally qualified.

“She was supposed to manage the youth park, but she was never there,” said Kusanovic, a veteran employee with the department, in the 2007 article. “I don’t know what she did.” In fact, Leach was serving as a lacrosse coach for East Hampton High School simultaneously, a fact that her superiors were apparently well aware of. “That’s all she talked about,” Kusanovic said.

The Independent asked the town to provide department records and payroll records as well as Leach’s resume. Leach, whose father, Barry, was a member of the East Hampton Democratic Committee, abruptly resigned.

Caitlin Fields quit her job in the department in March of 2007 after four years because she said, “I couldn’t take it anymore.”

“It’s a terrible environment [in which] to work,” Fields said. “It’s sad. When you work with kids it’s supposed to be fun.”

She said the recently hired employees “have no passion. How could they get hired? They don’t have qualifications, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew someone.”

Hammerle claimed Fields was disgruntled because she wanted to switch from part-time to full-time but didn’t want to do the work assigned to her.

Both Kusanovic and Fields said

five Latino seasonal workers were let go to make room for insiders. Horn said Kusanovic complained to him at the time but that the union couldn’t go to bat for the Latino workers because they were part-time and thus not eligible to join the union.

One source claimed that town employees from other departments who fail drug or alcohol tests were routinely reassigned to the Parks Department with Hammerle’s approval. “There were a couple guys. One had an alcohol problem. We put him in the Parks Department and he’s doing wonderfully,” Hammerle acknowledged.

But parents complained those individuals should not have been placed where their children frequented.

The final straw for Fields was CONTiNuEd ON PAgE 23.

State Senator Lee Zeldin, coming off a grueling primary battle with George Demos, is ready for the main event.

Waiting in the wings is five-time incumbent Tim Bishop, a lifetime resident of Southampton and a proven vote getter.

The pair was scheduled for the first local debate in Hampton Bays Monday night.

Republicans see Bishop as vulnerable to defeat this time around. For one thing, his reputation has also been tarnished – the Office of Congressional Ethics has all but indicted the Democrat, and a non-partisan Washington DC based watchdog group labeled him one of the “most corrupt members” of

Zeldin And Bishop Expect Fight To The FinishCongress.

For another, Bishop has close ties to president Obama and is a strong supporter of Obamacare, which is unpopular, the First Congressional District.

The pair squared off in 2008, and Bishop won handily. Since then though, Zeldin has grown in stature and popularity.

In 2010, Zeldin ran for the New York Senate’s 3rd district to challenge Democratic incumbent Brian X. Foley and defeated 57-43 percent. In 2012, he won re-election easily.

Zeldin told The Independent that though the race against Demos was taxing his name recognition in the district increased tenfold.

Zeldin called the upcoming Congressional race a nationally

targeted race. “The chances are better to defeat him [Bishop); his ethics issues are going to be a real problem.”

However, recently the U.S. Justice department indicated it would not bring formal charges against Bishop, who was accused of doing a campaign favor in return for a donation. The Bishop camp will seize on that fact and attack Zeldin on this supposed ties to the radical right wing of the Republican Party, the Tea party.

Bishop is among the 12th generation of Bishops to live on Long Island. He graduated from Southampton High School and holds a BA in History from Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from Long Island University. He and his wife Kathryn, founder and director of

The Children’s School for early childhood development, have two daughters, Molly and Meghan, and the family welcomed their first grandchild, Nathan, in 2010.

Albany Law School, Zeldin received an Army ROTC commission as a Second Lieutenant, assigned to the Military Intelligence Corps of the United States Army. He became a member of the New York State Bar in January 2004 at the age of 23. In 2006, Zeldin was deployed to Iraq with an infantry battalion of fellow paratroopers from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division. In 2007, he transitioned from active duty to the Army Reserves where he currently serves with the rank of Major. In 2008, Zeldin started a law practice in Smithtown, New York. He is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, and the Jewish War Veterans.

East HamptonHistorical Farm Museum

The much anticipated East Hampton Town Historical Farm Museum and Interactive Park opens it’s doors to the public on October 11, 2014.

The home will represent what life was like in East Hampton at the turn of the 20th century. The museum is filled with contributions from the community, as well as the East Hampton Historical Society and

will demonstrate the daily activities of a simpler time.

“The opening signifies the beginning of a wonderful journey for the public, back to a time of growth, relative prosperity, and old Bonac values, as practiced in 1880 to 1920,” said Prudence Carabine, a descendant of the Talmages, a founding family and self professed Bonacker.

Life on the corner of what was then called “Northwest Highway” (now Cedar Street) and “Three Mile Harbor Highway” (was a bustling convergence of activity. “Different from ‘up-street’ and far from the beautiful cottages on the ocean,” said Ms. Carabine,

“Yet eggs, produce, labor, and Dominy products went under the railroad bridge up to Main Street and Newtown Lane constantly. Barter and bits of cash got the taxes paid and occasionally new shoes.”

In 1876, Selah Lester moved the original Captain Jonathan Barnes House from Old Montauk in Amagansett to the property, which he bought from Sybel Dominy for $300, when land was measured in rods and chains.

The Farm Museum will be open every Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM through December 6, the day of the Christmas Parade, and will reopen in April 2015.

County Road 39 marks the end of Sunrise Highway and serves as the primary east-west regional thoroughfare of the South Fork, or in other words “The Gateway to the Hamptons.”

At last Thursday morning’s work session in Southampton, town board members met with several principal planners to review the CR 39 corridor land use plan.

According to the land use plan from last month outlined on the town’s website, “Traffic congestion historically has been widespread, particularly during the summer season when Southampton’s

The Long And Winding Roadpopulation increases from 57,421, to 167,682 people.

Though the construction of an additional eastbound travel lane has increased the capacity of the roadway and improved operating safety, traffic congestion persists during peak travel times.”

As a result, town officials say there’s a great need to develop and implement consistent upgrades along the entire corridor. “The corridor is envisioned as a place where people travel safely and efficiently across town in a well-maintained and amply landscaped environment,” said Kyle Collins, Town Planning and Development

Administrator. Collins added there were several goals brought on by the study: maintain/enhance community character, facilitate movement/enhance safety, manage new developer along the corridor, and protect and enhance the area’s environmental quality.

According to the study, CR 39’S land uses include commercial, residential, educational, open space, and recreational uses. Most of the existing commercially developed areas along the corridor are considered commercial strip development, or what Collins described as “destination shopping trips, with low trip generating uses

often associated with them.” Many of those commercial properties were developed as being one store deep and characterized by “multiple roadway access points with highly visible off-street parking and little landscaping to soften the large expanses of asphalt,” the study said.

The future of CR 39 is envisioned to include a reduction in traffic congestion with a series of cross-access lanes that add circulation options, l imiting residential uses adjacent to the highway, incorporating a “green” character (meaning businesses are set back from the road and separated from it by deep landscaped yards), better accommodations for pedestrians, (including sidewalks and more convenient bus shelters), and limiting parking placement to the rear and side yards of lots.

The overall character of the corridor, according to Collins, Director of Transportation Tom Neely, Ron Hill, P.E., from Dunn Engineering, and Principal Planner Janice Scherer, will be improved through the enhanced landscaping, reduced curb cuts, a reduction of sign clutter, and the promotion of small scale development in each respective quadrant of the corridor study.

Some of the recommendations put forth were to modify the highway business zoning category to improve the quality and diversity of land uses, to deploy a new hamlet

JAMES H. SCHNEIDER

April 26, 1951 - July 22, 2014James H.

Schneider, 63, passed away in his sleep at home in Ann Arbor, MI on July 22. He was born in Southampton on April 26, 1951.

J i m w a s raised in East Hampton and was a 1969

graduate of East Hampton High School. He continued his education at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and graduated in 1974 with a degree in journalism.

While at Bowling Green, Jim launched his career in sports media as a student assistant in sports information. Upon graduation from college, Jim was employed as a sportswriter for the city of Bowling Green’s daily newspaper, The Sentinel Tribune. In 1978 Jim joined the University of Michigan’s athletic media relations office.

As a member of that department for over 30 years, Jim worked closely with the football program and its head coaches Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller, and Lloyd Carr during his tenure. Jim worked both men’s and women’s sporting events during his career which included

Obituarystints as public address announcer for men’s and women’s home basketball games as well as for men’s baseball and women’s softball games. He retired from UM in 2008 due to illness.

Colleagues remember his humor, intelligence, empathy and ability to communicate and network. Jim was predeceased by his parents. He is survived by three siblings: a brother, Harrison of Batavia, IL; a sister, Margaret of The Woodlands,

TX, and a younger brother Richard, of Manorville.

He is also survived by five nephews, two nieces and many grand-nephews and grand-nieces who all knew him well.

A memorial will be at First Presbyterian Church of East

Hampton on October 6. This will be followed by a reception in the Session House.

There will also be a celebration of Jim’s life at the University of Michigan’s Jung Family Champions Center in Ann Arbor, MI on Friday from 4 to 6 PM. The first hour will be an opportunity for friends and colleagues to meet and greet

Jim’s family informally and share their memories. This will be followed

at 5 PM with a formal memorial service.

The family has established the “Schneids Go Blue Fund” to benefit the University of Michigan Athletic Department. The funds will be earmarked for athletic scholarships. A memorial fund in Jim’s name was also established at the First Presbyterian Church of East Hampton.

Sharon, our former off ice manager, probably has an Order of Protection out on me by now.

Let me start from the beginning. I bought a new vehicle this week, my first since I bought my truck 10 years ago. Don’t get me wrong – I still have my rig. A man needs a truck for haulin’ rock, towin’ cranes and concrete mixers, and moving loads of dirt from one state to another. It also comes in handy going to the mall.

Yep, I love my truck, but even an old cattle rustler like myself needs

Calling Zephyr Smorgasbordsomething a little more civilized for going to the mall and church and such.

My new Buick has all the latest electronic gizmos real men who tow cranes and haul dirt need. One of the coolest things is it allowed me to load all the information on my cellphone into the Information Center. That way, I can give voice commands and use the phone without taking my hands off the wheel.

Pretty cool.“Call Karen,” I said confidently,

referring to my long-suffering wife, who has to fend for herself on those days I’m hauling rock on the interstate.

A soft female voice answered the prompts. I named her Melissa. “Calling Sharon,” Melissa said.

“NO! Karen! KAREN!”“Calling Sharon.”I kept trying, putting more and

more effort into accentuating the “K” sound.

“Call KKKKKKKK Karen,” I would order.

“Calling KKKKKK Sharon,” the soft voice would reply. After five or so calls to Sharon I confess I did what I do to those automated phone operators – I unleashed a tirade of the filthiest words in my vast vocabulary. That made me feel better.

I tried to solve the problem logically. I went into the phone system, and renamed Karen “Kay.” Problem solved, or so I thought.

“Call Kay,” I told Melissa.“Calling Jay,” she responded.Pretty soon I had the office of

County Legislator Jay Schneiderman. This went on for several more minutes.

“You stupid effin cow! You motherless whore!” I screamed. Melissa said nothing.

Eventually I figured out a way to get the vehicle to call Karen. Now I just have to remember to say, “Call

Zephyr Smorgasbord.”“Calling Karen,” Melissa says

smugly.Saturday we were out yard-saling

and couldn’t find one of the sales. I hit the OnStar button.

“This is Belinda. Can I help you?”“Yes, Belinda. We’re looking for

Deep Six Drive in East Hampton NY. Can you give me directions?”

“Certainly,” she said. And then silence. And more silence.

Finally I snapped. “You motherless whore! You dumb cow!”

Karen was aghast and harshly admonished me. “Don’t you ever speak that way to a woman again. Who the hell do you think you are, Ray Rice?”

I was flabbergasted. “Honey, it’s only a machine, silly,” I said with my best condescending voice. “It’s an electronic voice!”

Then Belinda came back on the line. “Find it yourself, you jackass!”

Now I can’t get a straight answer from any of the females in my car – not from the Info Center, not from OnStar, and not from Karen, who wants Commissioner Goodell to suspend me for using abusive language. Plus, she’s convinced I am somehow responsible for having the car equipped with sexy female voices.

Makes a man yearn for those simpler days out on the prairie -- just me, the moon, and Sven, my truck.

EDITORIAL


Smacks Of NancyLetter to the Editor,

I love it when your editorial hits the mark, especially when it is a mark with which I agree!

East Hampton doesn’t “need more laws; [it] need[s] the guts to enforce the ones we have” (“A Law That Needs Rethinking,” 9/17/14).

Despite space limitations, you did an excellent job detailing the reasons the proposed Rental Registry legislation will not work and should not be enacted.

If the town is using Southampton as a model, why is the East Hampton legislation

more restrictive? This question leads me to something you did not mention. In my experience, legislation is drafted to fulfill a particular purpose which is stated prominently in the beginning of the new law or regulation.

The Registry draft legislation is without stated purpose. Strangely though, this has not kept everyone speaking and writing about the legislation from espousing its purpose. If the purpose of the legislation is so well known, why not put it in the draft? Without a stated purpose, how is the public to read the legislation and make an informed judgment as to whether or not it will succeed and is good for East Hampton and its property owners.

When I asked a knowledgeable town hall person where I could find the legislation’s purpose, I was told that the legislative intent would not be made known to us until,

“the public hearing is publicly noticed for a public hearing.”

To me, this smacks of Nancy Pelosi’s famous pearl of wisdom: We have to pass it to know what’s in it. The public is entitled to know now what the stated intent is; and, to have that language added to the draft. Our judgment must be based upon the full picture and not just parts of the law fed to us piecemeal.

Whether or not people realize it, this is important legislation that the town seeks to impose on us.

In my view, it interferes with our protected rights as property owners. And, while a municipality may interfere with those rights, it must have a compelling interest to do so; and then it must do it in the least restrictive manner. The draft does not meet that test, especially since we have no idea of its legislative intent.

Think about it. If not done precisely as required in the Rental Registry, the act of renting one’s home is punishable as a crime, with excessive fines and a potential jail sentence!

Simply stated, with the Rental Registry in effect, the decision to rent your home, will require the town’s “blessing,” after you supply extensive intrusive information and pay an, as of yet, undefined fee.

As pointed out in the editorial, there are numerous items already in the code and things that our code enforcement officers can do to stem the tide of illegal and over-crowded summer rentals, without trampling on the rights of the law-abiding residents of East Hampton.

BEVERLY BOND

It was close to 50 years ago that Perry Duryea Jr. realized that folks in East Hampton, and particularly Montauk, were slaves to the single road that traveled east and west.

Not only could bad weather knock out swaths of it, but ever increasing traffic meant longer and longer trips out of town.

As Duryea pointed out many times, he was concerned especially about the time it took Montauk ambulances to get to Southampton Hospital.

Suffolk County planners had been toying with the idea of a Montauk Highway bypass for some time. Just north of Montauk Highway and County Road 39 in Southampton were vast tracts of undeveloped land, going east across Bridgehampton Turnpike and through portions of the Northwest Woods in East Hampton.

A bypass, much like the one on the North Fork, could conceivably come out on Old Stone Highway, east of Amagansett Village. There would be a few north/south roads feeding off the bypass: one to Southampton Village, one to Bridgehampton, and so on.

It bears remembering because Southampton Town is grappling with what to do with County Road 39, where traffic is often unbearable and where dangerous (and sometimes fatal) accidents have earned it the nickname “The Highway of Death.”

A widening effort a few years back caused merchants along the route to complain bitterly; CR 39 is a series of strip malls.

Forgive us if we are pessimistic: the road is narrow, the stores are close to it, there is little parking, and there is private property behind many of the stores. There seems little short of a massive construction project that can be done.

Removing signage would sound the death knell for many of the merchants. And though the town talks about “green” upgrades and lush landscaping, it is hard to envision a palpable difference. It might well be the epitome of putting lipstick on a pig, and that is not a knock on the town board, which deserves kudos for at least trying to address this mess. Keep in mind, the road isn’t just a Southampton problem – we all bear the cross.

Getting back to Duryea, who is responsible for preserving more land on the South Fork than every other politician combined: a group formed to stop his efforts get a bypass built, claiming he wanted to make it easier to get to Montauk. Rumors circulated he wanted to build casinos – complete nonsense, as it turned out. But as this group, under the guise of environmentalism, fought to stop the proposed road, it quietly bought up much of the land along the proposed route at bargain basement prices.

Years later, the parcels were sold and developed and enormous amounts of money were made.

And that’s why there is one road to get from Montauk through eastern Southampton today, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

What do you remember about the first time you drove a car?

Gloria SheldonThe first car I drove was a Chevy Caprice. Ilived in New York City. My husband wasteaching me to drive so I could get my license.He was a great teacher and we didn’t fight atall. I passed my driver’s test on the first try atthe DMV on 14th Street.

Tom SkrobeThe first time I drove a car was when I was inhigh school and I took a Driver’s Ed course. Itwas probably something like a Plymouth K Car.Then, just a few weeks afterward, when I’d justgotten my license, I had a little fender bender ina parking lot.

Sandra WarshawskyI was 16 the first time I drove a car. And thefirst car I ever drove was a Jeep. My fatherowned a drugstore in Washington, DC and thename of it was on the door of the car. It wentpretty smoothly. I remember having a lot of funand not being scared at all.

Joel FineThe first car I drove was a 1949 Buick. It was asolid green stick shift. I was 18 years old. Itwas in Flatbush, in Brooklyn, where I grew up.My older sister taught me how to drive. I wasn’tnervous at all. I was ready to take my chances.

JUST ASKING By Karen Fredericks

Need The GutsRick,

All I can say is thank you.The lack of code enforcement and

the obvious need for more is frustrating. The lack of coordination amongst the school districts and code enforcement is distressing.

School administrators of course have little interest in reducing their kingdoms. Larger equals more teachers and more administration compensation.

A larger and more effective code enforcement staff with its associated additional cost is far outweighed by the significance of our current, ever burgeoning school tax burden.

As you stated, this town board, the code enforcement unit, and the school administrators “need the guts” to enforce the laws that we have. They also need the will. They just don’t seem to care based upon their superficial acknowledgement of this worsening situation and their minimal corrective actions.

Whittling AwayDear Rick,

A Pennsylvania judge has been convicted of selling children into prison for cash. The former judge, 61-year old Mark Ciavarella Jr., was sentenced to 30 years for taking money under the table from a developer and jailing thousands of adults and juveniles, some as young as 10.

Ciavarella made more than a million dollars selling people into incarceration. Sad to see our proud America once synonymous with the term “Freedom” being replaced by “Greedom,” thanks to our “For Profit” privateers; the “Bleed’ms.” The total debt accrued by our college graduates has tripled in the last three years to one trillion dollars.

There are those wanting to privatize grammar, high and all pre-college schools which would assure that our schools, once the epitome of intellectuality, will continue to slip one by one rung further downward on the intellectual ladder.

Shameful. Then there are the privateers wanting to “For Profit” the VA medical which has often been proved to surpass our own private plans, Social Security, highways and bridges paid for initially by the taxpayers, parking meters, and on and on.

This opportunistic “For Profit” mentality whittling away at the proud progression

with which we evolved has woefully degraded us from when we were once the idol of the world.

Our country, it’s institutions allowing all to spring from the level board should not be stunted for the almighty buck, nor our elections be up for sale to the wealthiest.

I can hear it now: “Socialist,” “Commie,” “Pinko,” etc. Sad.

NICHOLAS ZIZELIS

Think TankDear Editor,

Many Southampton community m e m b e rs a re u n awa re t h a t t h e Southampton Public Schools have applied for and been awarded the Extended Learning Time Grant, part of the SIG program.

This grant stipulates that our district increase the academic calendar by 25 percent for the chosen school buildings, in our case, K through 8th grade. The

additional time can be added to the day, week or school year. Our district has proposed adding to the school day. This would mean an additional 108 minutes per day for the Elementary School and an additional 103 minutes per day for the Intermediate School.

School hours for the Elementary School would be from 7:15 AM to 4:03 PM. The school district has accepted the planning grant of $10,000, but has not yet accepted the larger main part of the grant of $2,572,402.

Given the push back from the parents regarding this grant, the school is now hosting a community forum October 1st at 6:30 PM at Southampton High School. Not only are they holding a forum, but are bringing in a representative from the NYS Education Department, Michael Selkis, to “answer questions.”

Mr. Selkis is a director at the National

This nonprofit kicked off its organization at an event at the Center for American Progress. That in itself raises major red flags. NCTL is dedicated to expanding learning time.

It’s disconcerting that our school administration and BOE believe that having our children in school for approximately nine hours a day is good for our children.

As a Catholic I found your column (Rick’s Space) sacrilegious! You made mockery out of important articles of our faith.

The Blessed Trinity is God -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit, which is a mystery. Your joking about it was very upsetting to me and other Catholics.

You’ve had 12 years of Catholic schooling! You missed the first lesson — respect and love your Faith.

Lose CredibilityTo The Editor,

I am appalled at the latest TV ads by the Democrats and Tim Bishop.

It seems the only way to attack a man of impeccable character like Lee Zeldin is to throw punches below the belt.

If things are allowed to continue unchecked in Washington, we will continue to lose credibility with our allies abroad, continue to destabilize our military capabilities, curb back our research and development programs, and last but not least destroy the very foundation of middle class America.

It is time for meaningful change. Failed social programs must be reexamined.

Yes, we need a man of the people. Send Mr. Zeldin to Congress.

FREDERICK RODGERS

Continue Air StrikesDear Editor,

President Obama, with the approval of Congress, has blundered ahead to fund and arm so called moderate Sunnis in Syria to fight the radical Sunnis in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). This is a huge error because there

are no moderate Sunnis.In the Middle East it is all about religion.

The so-called moderate Sunnis in Syria will turn the arms against President Assad of Syria and his Shiite followers. Their enemy is Assad and the Shiites, not the fellow Sunnis of ISIS. If they succeed in overthrowing Assad, the so called moderate Sunnis and ISIS will incorporate all of Syria and part of Iraq into their caliphate.

This will mean we will have to continue our air campaign in Iraq and Syria, but now we will have to go after a much wider and more entrenched target, which is equipped with our equipment.

We should continue the air strikes, arm the Kurds, and provide advisers to the Iraqi Army. If we have to arm the Syrians, we should sell them low quality arms with no spare parts.

DONALD A. MOSKOWITZ

Unfortunate DecisionDear Mr. Murphy,

When I explained in a previous letter that a wealthy Wall Street investor who purchased a farm next to my property should also have purchased my property, I did so knowing that for over a century my farmhouse functioned as the business office for hundreds of acres of adjacent farmland. So anyone buying a farm should have considered the tradition and financial benefit of living next to the business.

Instead the Wall Street investor, in what appeared to be an odd arrangement, purchased a cottage in a subdivision a quarter mile away which meant that the farm’s co-owner, an equestrienne who occupied the cottage, had to unnecessarily drive to the business.

Actually, it is the centrality of my house that has allowed me to observe the “odd” subdivision of surrounding lands as dictated by Southampton’s planning and management practices and it is Southampton’s management practices that I had hoped Linda Kabot would address in her bid for Supervisor.

To look at this issue from another perspective, in several editorials, The Independent pointed out that a town may change zoning in ways that appear unethical but that are legal. Keeping that important distinction in mind, when changes prove harmful, then those changes can rise to a level of immorality, and from a management perspective a municipality does have the responsibility to address immorality.

Yet in Southampton, it appears land-

12 Years Experience

use decisions are being made not only by planning and zoning boards but also housing and highway departments. This decentralization is exacerbated by differences in management style and goes to the heart of a problem that has surfaced in The Southampton Press.

Mr. Louchheim, publisher of The Press, lives in Sagaponack where that village opposed what amounted to land-use decisions by the Southampton Town Highway Department that might have destroyed the character of the village.

Yet west of the canal, land-use decisions by the Highway Department were never questioned by The Press even though those decisions were identified as “unfortunate.” So even if Linda Kabot supported Alex Gregor, the head of that department, for reelection, I believe she could have “leaned in” to address “unfortunate” or harmful land-use decisions.

Although I should be entitled to the same management and land-use practices as Sagaponack, in what appears to be a double standard, The Southampton Press, Democratic leadership, and some of my neighbors seem to believe they can criticize me for having the very same values as the publisher of The Press.

trictlySBIn support in the ongoing efforts

to end breast cancer, Tanger Outlets in Riverhead invites its customers to “think pink” this fall and help support the search for a cure during the 21st annual Tanger PinkSTYLE campaign.

From now through October 25, the Tanger PinkSTYLE Campaign will take place at Tanger Outlets on Long Island. Shoppers can purchase 25 percent Off Pink Cards in Savings

Tanger Thinking PinkPacks of five Pink Cards for five dollars and save 25 percent on a single item at participating stores.

Customers can purchase as many Pink Card Savings Packs as they like from Tanger Shopper Services. Proceeds from Pink Cards will benefit Peconic Bay Medical Center, the North Fork Breast Health Coalition, and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

“We are proud to join with

our customers and tenants at our centers across the U.S. and Canada to bring awareness and raise much needed funds for breast cancer research and prevention,” said Steven B. Tanger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.

“ We r e m a i n c o m m i t t e d to supporting these important organizations that are helping fur ther educate women on prevention and hopefully will find a cure to a disease that has affected so many women and families.”

Shoppers and local area residents are also invited Sunday for the 16th annual 5K walk around Tanger to benefit the North Fork Breast Health Coalition’s Lend a Helping Hand programs.

In 2014, the American Cancer Society estimates that more than 295,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States alone. More than 800 women are diagnosed each day and breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women across the nation.

I just need to come out and say it: I am beyond sick of Derek Jeter’s farewell tour. As his final homestand comes to an end tomorrow night in the Bronx, there are likely to be far more tears, non-stop photos, and several “DE-REK JET-ER!” chants filling Yankee Stadium.

But, count me as one who can’t wait until Sunday, when Derek Jeter finally hangs up his cleats for good.

Before you ask, yes, I am a Mets fan. But, that isn’t the reason behind this. I wish my team had Derek Jeter at shortstop for the past two decades. He was clutch, a good leader, and played most of his career at an All-Star caliber level.

But since his announcement in the offseason, Derek Jeter has been shoved down the throat of every baseball fan ad nauseam.

Each opposing team has felt peer pressure to give Jeter a mini pre-game ceremony and a gift. The Yankees have tried to monetize each waking moment (Re2pect), and some of the endorsements have been bizarre.

The most recent commercial,

Independent

MindedSportsBy Pete Mundo

Jeter Farewell Tour Can’t End Soon Enough

courtesy of Gatorade, shows Jeter telling his driver he wants to get out of his car a few blocks from Yankee Stadium. With Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” playing in the background.

Jeter is walking through the Bronx, waving, shaking hands, and even stops in a local bar to “say hi” to some fans. Ah yes, Derek Jeter . . . the every man. The guy who has rarely shared his personal life with his adoring fan base and has never said anything interesting in a postgame press conference. Now, he’s shaking hands and kissing babies. Please. It was phoniness at it’s finest.

While Derek Jeter has been a great player for close to 20 years, he has kept his private life as secret as a celebrity can in today’s TMZ world. Right or wrong, he hasn’t shown interest in sharing that side of himself with the world (no twitter, no Instagram, etc).

Additionally, his postgame press conferences and quotes have been, for years, absolutely meaningless. Few people say less with their words than Derek Jeter. It’s just another

way he has remained distant from the everyday fan for most of his career.

On top of that, Jeter’s legacy has supposedly been defined by selflessness and the willingness to do whatever it takes to win. But, that’s just another sham pushed by the Jeter-ian worshipers.

Go back over 10 years ago when the Yankees traded for the best shortstop, and player, in the game, Alex Rodriguez. The ‘selfless’ team captain, Derek Jeter, refused to move positions. It was A-Rod who OK’ed the trade and moved to third.

Onto this season, with the Yankees chasing a Wild Card spot over the last two months, Jeter continued to bat second. This despite hitting .207 in August, and suffering an 0 for 28 slump in September.

Derek Jeter should have stormed into Joe Girardi’s office and said “Skip, I’m not hitting well, it’d be best for the team and our playoff chances to drop me in the lineup.” Also, there were games when Jeter DH’ed, even though he ranks near

the bottom of the league in offensive categories. Girardi has insisted he “wasn’t hired to put on a farewell tour”, but he has done essentially that most of the season.

Defensively, Jeter is the third best shortstop on the team after Stephen Drew and Brendan Ryan; another sign of Jeter’s ego being put ahead of the team. Heck, even Willie Mays picked up a first baseman’s mitt towards the end of his illustrious career with the Giants and Mets.

But, once again, the farewell tour must go on according to script, playoffs be damned. How would “The Boss” have handled this? I could not imagine the late George Steinbrenner having Jeter’s sendoff be priority over a playoff race. George would be the first to remind us that the pinstripes helped form Jeter’s legacy, not the other way around.

Riverhead, the County division ii champs for the past two seasons, is off to a strong start this year as well.

By Rick MurphyRiverhead’s Ryun Moore was only

a sophomore in last year’s Suffolk County Division II title game – and was best known for playing linebacker. But the youngster, thrust into the starting tailback role, delivered big time.

This season, Moore is a budding star.

Saturday he got the ball, and got it some more. Moore carried 29 times in all, and gobbled up 145 yards good for two touchdowns. As it turned out the Blue Waves needed every inch to hold over a stubborn Smithtown East squad 39-27, before an overflow home crowd Saturday afternoon.

Riverhead Wins Behind MooreIt was two precision offenses

trading punches all afternoon, and the outcome wasn’t decided until Moore blasted into the end zone from the three yard line with 1:15 left in the fray.

Moore was by no means the only weapon in the Riverhead arsenal. Quarterback Ken Simco completed 9 of 18 passes for 184 yards and three TD strikes, including a 56-yarder to Steven Reid.

And yes, Moore played linebacker as well.

Riverhead is one of five teams in Division II off to a 2-0 start. The Waves travel to Smithtown West Saturday for a 2 PM kickoff.

Wes thampton evened i t s Division III record at 1-1 by blasting Kings Park 43-13. Patrick Dean led the romp with three touchdowns including an 80-yard scamper. Bryce Phillips scored twice including, once on a 93-yard kickoff return and the other a 50-yard run. The Hurricanes get Sayville at home Saturday at 1:30 PM.

Hampton Bays, 2-1 in Division IV, bested Port Jefferson 21-6. Jordan Johnson did the legwork, carrying the ball 23 times good for 166 yards and all three touchdowns. The Baymen go to Shoreham/Wading River for a 2 PM kickoff on Saturday.

Greenport/Southold evened its record at 1-1 by knocking off Stony Brook 21-6. Trystan Ireland had 70 rushing yards and a TD and Dominic Panette scored twice, once via the air and the other on an interception return. The Settlers get Bayport/Blue Point Saturday at 1 PM.

Southampton/Bridgehampton fell to 0-2 in Division IV, losing to Mercy 15-7. The Mariners are at home Saturday for a 2 PM tiff against Stony Brook.

office business zoning use category, promote open space retention on remaining large residentially zoned tracts, create consistency in the look of the corridor, improve the appearance of key intersections with “gateway treatments” designed through an open competition, and improve the operation of the roadway by creating new breakdown areas and/or dedicated right hand turning lanes.

“Access management is an important element,” Hill said. “CR 39 is a major artery of the town. You’re going to have to live with what you have. And access management tries to keep the capacity of the road by keeping the flow smooth. You have to give people a way to get them where they need to go, that’s why developing an access point for properties is crucial. You just have to be flexible as to where you’re going to tie those properties together.”

Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst agreed, noting “when the road was widened, everyone was happy, but there was also the negative side to that. Some business owners were telling us they were losing moving

in and out of the business safely due to the faster pace of traffic. We need to access CR 39 as much as possible, but still have the business.”

Throne-Holst added that if the signage is clear of what and where the corresponding business is, it would be helpful.

“If we have a few attractive ones that clearly delineate what the outlets are in a couple specific places to streamline the whole signage, it gets rid of signage clutter.”

Councilwoman Bridget Fleming added she’d “like to see” green designs, including some eco-friendly roofs and drainage options.

The first of what Collins opined will be “several” public hearings was set for last night’s town board meeting as The Independent went to press.

Throne-Holst said she expected it to a very vibrant public hearing. “It’s important that this wasn’t just coming out of our land use expertise, she said at Thursday’s work session. “It’s important to have a conversation with our constituents and neighbors that will be affected by this plan.”

keepers in the mix. Plenty of big porgies under the bridge, too. Strange seeing as many porgies as we are seeing in Shinnecock this season; they are in the inlet in good numbers as well.

The bass bite in the inlet slowed this week, could be due to the huge schools of false albies that don’t seem to want to leave. On the seabass front, the bite on the reef and local wrecks has been

productive enough to keep you interested with a few nice fish coming from the open bottom during fluke drifts. Huge schools of bunker are just offshore and are holding some big bass below them. Peconics

Snapper/cocktail bluefish are around most of the inlets and creeks along with porgies. Shore Bound/Surf/Bridge/Canal

The Ponquogue Bridge and Shinnecock Inlet have been producing a good amount of porgies

to 16-inch on clam, worm and squid baits. The bridge is also producing striped bass on night tides with fresh and live baits. Swimming plugs have accounted for a few nice keepers.

The jetties of the inlet have been elbow to elbow with anglers targeting the large schools of false albacore. They have been in and out of the inlet for over a week and show no signs of leaving just yet. Deadly Dicks, Crippled Herrings and other small tins are the bait of choice. Fairly slow for the striped bass this week, but there are some

huge bluefish in the inlet. The Shinnecock Canal continues

to produce a mixed bag of fluke, porgies, snapper blues and small sea bass. The local ocean beaches have been a pick at best on the stripers and bluefish. The fish that have been caught have come on swimmers and darters on the night tides.
