Community Steps Up For Shinnecock BayBy Emily Toy

The Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program is gaining momentum.

Nearly 30 volunteers gathered at Stony Brook Univers i ty ’s Southampton Marine Station on Saturday morning to help with an eelgrass replanting event to stimulate and replenish eelgrass beds in Shinnecock Bay.

Both student and resident volunteers, armed with scissors and sunhats, assisted university scientists involved with the Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program (ShiRP), helping to weave eelgrass into burlap disks, nicknamed “tortillas,” to hold the eelgrass transplants.

Eelgrass is especially important to the Shinnecock Bay ecosystem. It provides food and shelter for many species, such as scallops, which occur naturally in the area, and functions as a nursery for many juvenile fish in the bay. Over 100 disks were finished on Saturday and remained in a cooler for their transplant into the Shinnecock Bay on Monday. They were slated to be put into a checkerboard formation and arranged into an alternating grid of planted and unplanted

Independent / Gordon M. Grant

quadrants, according to Bradley Peterson, professor at Stony Brook Southampton and overseer of the restoration program.

For years, the health of the bay has been waning due to significant changes in land use and development. Increases in bacteria and harmful sediments have severely decimated the eelgrass beds, which promote the shellfish

population and all around health of the water body.

The Ins t i tu te f o r Ocean Conservation Science and the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University founded ShiRP, with the hopes of returning the Shinnecock Bay to a thriving estuarine environment.

“It’s been an uphill battle,” said project coordinator Christine

Santora. “The eelgrass helps the fish population to maintain itself.”

Eelgrass and scallops naturally coexist in the area. The restoration project consists of analyzing aerial photography to identify the eelgrass meadows, and then ground truthing those aerial photographs. Out in the bay, the Cornell Cooperative Extension assesses the population of scallops and eelgrass by looking at stem density, macro algae, bottom types, depth, and nutrient levels.

The eelgrass method, developed by the CCE, was in response to the deteriorating conditions in Shinnecock Bay, which include increases in brown tide, red tide, and a significant decrease in shellfish and fin fish populations.

Santora said Monday’s transplant consisted of scientists diving down into the bay and attaching the disks to already existing eelgrass beds.

Saturday’s volunteer effort, according to Santora, was designed to expand the already existing habitat.

“Th i s i sn ’ t neces sar i l y a predictable or quick solution,” Santora said, “but it’s giving the bay a big push.”

For someone who has made a living writing words, I’m pretty clueless when it comes to understanding words. I have a tin ear.

Two marriages and a lot of years later I still can’t understand women and what they’re really saying when they talk to me. And God knows they can’t understand me.

To be frank, I can’t understand men either, but that doesn’t matter because I don’t care what men think of me. But I’m really pained when a woman is hurt, angry or confused because in my usual innocent, clumsy, stumbling way I’ve said or done or heard the wrong thing.

One of my favorite movies is an old Paul Newman flick called Cool Hand Luke. At one point Newman (Luke) is getting the hell beaten

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE, OR WHY DIDN’T I SEE THIS 50

YEARS AGO?out of him by prison guards in a chain gang prison and he says, “What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.”

That’s what I have in spades.Although I have won awards

and carved out a nice career as a communicator, in my personal life I am a lousy communicator.

Catch me at a cocktail party and I’m in a corner trying to avoid talking to anyone. Why? Because I have so much trouble in a simple exchange of words. I suck at small talk.

When a woman talks to me I mumble and I’m as uncomfortable as I was when I was 13 years old attending a dance at St. Simon and Jude Church in Brooklyn.

But now I’m happy to report

that thanks to a recent email joke I received from a friend, all my communication problems with women are over.

Someone has broken the code.When I think back to all the

“failure to communicate” incidents I have had with women in my lifetime I mourn all the lost fun, laughter and sex that I could have had if I had only known how to listen and talk like most humans.

I’m here to say that what follows is absolutely true and, as a side note to all the women I know, reading this has made me into a kinder, sweeter Jerry.

I wish I had read this 50 years ago.

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before doing what she wants you to do.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means “something,” and you should be on

your toes. Arguments that begin when you say “What’s wrong?” and she answers “Nothing” usually end in #1, Fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This isn’t actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s Okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you; do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here: This is true unless she says “Thanks a lot.” That is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say “You’re welcome” – that will bring on a “whatever.”)

(8) Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying “Go to hell.”

(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What’s wrong?” For the woman’s response, refer to #3.

Wainscott Studios Sues East Hampton Town, LTVBy Rick Murphy

LTV, East Hampton’s local television station, East Hampton Town, and assorted individuals in the hierarchy of both entities are being sued in what could become a costly legal confrontation.

Wainscott Studios is alleging in court papers a custom made boom – technically a Zero Gravity Crane -- worth over $500,000 left in the care of LTV was illegally sold. LTV Executive Director Seth Redlus and Robert

Strada, the LTV Board president, are also named in the suit, as are town budget officer Len Bernard and Supervisor Bill Wilkinson, among other entities and individuals.

Mitchell Kriegman, an Emmy winning filmmaker, started Wainscott Studios in 2004 and later leased the top floor of the LTV building, though his name doesn’t appear in court papers. He once said the Zero Gravity Crane equipped with real-time HD, was “the expensive equivalent of

a joy stick in a video game.” The unique, one of a kind boom attracted raves from the likes of Frances Ford Coppola, according to published reports.

Eric Brown, a local attorney who was on the LTV board at the time, said his understanding was LTV tried to contact Kriegman to have him remove the piece of equipment and eventually sold it off. “It was apparently left on the [LTV] property,” Brown recalled. He presumed whatever funds the

sale brought in were put in the LTV general fund but didn’t know for sure. Brown resigned because LTV declined to implement policy changes he suggested.

The lease between Wainscott Studios, LTV and East Hampton Town, which owns the land under the LTV building, was mutually terminated in 2010, The plaintiff’s allege the defendants “agreed to store and preserve the crane in good condition, creating a bailment.”

Wainscott studios said in court papers its representatives were told the boom was sold for scrap metal for $2000. But the plaintiffs allege LTV sold the equipment back to the firm that originally made it, Trumbull Ventures – it was custom built. The plaintiffs suggest it was sold for far more than $2000. In 2011 LTV received $741,448 in grants and contributions – almost all of it from East Hampton Town coffers – and made $87,605 in “program service revenue.”

The latest suit is the second LTV is embroiled in, and legal fees are rising quickly as a result. The organization is almost totally funded by the town, but until last year LTV has been allowed to operate without government oversight. There appears to be no corresponding revenue for the sale of the boom reported on LTV’s 2011 federal tax filing.

The LTV contract expired last year but town officials decided not to put the contract out to bid despite an audit that revealed some inconsistencies – employees were using equipment purchased with town funds for personal use with little or no oversight, and an unlicensed electrician who billed LTV over $12,000 lived with the LTV bookkeeper. The Independent had previously reported Redlus bought furniture from a firm his parents own, spending over $10,000, and also made a large purchase of kitchen equipment from his former employee, Williams & Sonoma.

Video Voice Inc., owned by Ernest and Gregg Schimizzi, the brothers who own WVVH television, are in court with LTV. They contend they were forced out of an office in the LTV building they legally owned, with no strings attached.

On January 17, 1993 Video Voice Inc. entered into an agreement with Frazer Dougherty and LTV when the LTV building was being constructed. Dougherty was the executive director of LTV as well as the face of the channel. He agrees with the contention that Video Voice was wrongfully evicted.

Wilky’s Wardrobe MalfunctionBy Kitty Merrill

They could be worn by employees as a “badge of pride,” Councilwoman Theresa Quigley wrote. But East Hampton Town employees this week reacted to the notion with a resounding response along the lines of, ‘Badges? We don’t need no stinkin badges . . . how about some pens and pencils?’

Staffers were abuzz last week following an email reporting that Supervisor Bill Wilkinsons wanted to buy team jackets for all workers.

Department heads were notified by email and asked to provide a size and a proper name spelling for each full time employee. In an email thread obtained by The Independent, Councilwoman Sylvia Overby asks the equivalent of ‘WTF?’ Actually, she contacted town budget officer Len Bernard asking, “What is the story, please?”

Overby then asked for the “want” to be added to the next town board work session agenda, since it had yet to be discussed by the board and carries a $7000 price tag. Additionally, she wondered whether the supervisor has the authority to take the money from the budget without discussing it with the town board publicly.

Wilkinson responded noting that he often wears jackets from Disney, his former place of employ. “I obviously did not have to wear a uniform,” he wrote. “For us, it was pride. I thought it was something the employees would like.” Employees could proudly wear their inscribed jackets to the beach (during the off season, one surmises, since the jackets are fleece lined) or the game, he said. “The Fire Departments seem to have fun with theirs,” the supervisor explained.

If employees wouldn’t want to be seen in such attire, Wilkinson wrote Overby, “Then, you, my ongoing councilwoman, and the Town residents, have a big problem on your hands.”

Money for the jackets will come from the town’s contingency line. Overby suggested that if there is an extra $7000 kicking around, perhaps it would be better spent in another way, and the jackets could be made available for purchase by town employees who want them.

Doesn’t seem like many do. Speaking on condition of anonymity, workers had an array of comments to offer about the concept. None of them were positive.

Making reference to poor morale sparked by the Wilkinson administration’s downsizing efforts, plus a lack of awareness of the dissent, one suggested a headline: “New jackets for town employees, bonfire at 7.” Others complained the bomber

Independent /

Just in time for summer, East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson wants to reward town employees, at taxpayer expense, with official navy blue fleece lined jackets.

style jackets are less than attractive for female employees. One recipient of the email checked the date on it several times, thinking it was an April Fools message that got lost in cyberspace for a while. All of them felt the money could be better spent in materials they’ve been doing without under Wilkinson’s “do more with less” strategy. Still another observer called town government a reality show, with this latest episode warranting the title “Full Mental Jacket.”

“I think it’s fair to say, so far employees are not embracing this, nor do they know where it came

from, what prompted this thought,” said Overby. “We’re all going to get jackets because summer’s coming?”

In the email thread, Quigley said she doesn’t need or want to discuss the matter. “The jackets could represent, a badge of honor representing membership in the team that is East Hampton Town government. The issue of having a town jacket is like having a class ring from EHHS,” the councilwoman wrote.

The difference? Kids buy their own class rings, not taxpayers.

Neither Wilkinson nor Quigley responded to email requests for comment.

On Monday Councilman Dominick Stanzione offered, “The mindset is

brand something, paper over two years of misery with Disney-esque pablum.”

These Kids Are Cooking!By Kitty Merrill

East Hampton High School students won first place in the Long Island Family & Consumer Sciences “Healthy Snack Challenge.” This is the third year in a row kids from Janine Lalia’s Family & Consumer Science class have taken first place in the annual event.

Future chefs -- Max Lerner, Jennifer Brito, Lilah Minetree, Nina Piacentine, -- were called upon to create a healthy snack, pick their

own ingredients, craft a recipe, then “sell” it to judges, explaining why it’s a healthy choice.

“I really enjoy doing this project with my students each school year,” Lalia said Friday. “They take education into their own hands by creating an original healthy snack, where they dictate the recipe and determine what ingredients to use and how much of each item. However, the contest also has caloric restrictions that students

must adhere to, so then they have to finagle with the amounts to reach a nutritious snack under 200 calories. In addition, they also have to write the procedure; something easier said than done. I am very proud of the students for taking ownership and creating the winning snack of the Lettuce Taco.”

Want to make your own Lettuce Taco? Here’s how:

Ingredients One half cup Perdue grilled

chicken breast strips, chopped One tablespoon diced scallionsOne quarter cup Birdseye frozen

baby corn gold and white Two tablespoons black beans One quarter cup chopped avocadoOne half cup chopped tomatoes

One quarter cup chopped red pep-per

One tablespoon chopped cilantroOne tablespoon fresh squeezed

lime juice One leaf of romaine lettuceNon-stick cooking spray Total Calories: 194

Procedure1. Heat a large skillet with non-

stick cooking spray over a medium flame.

2. Sauté scallions until golden, but not brown.

3. Add chicken, corn, and black beans. Let cook for three to five minutes.

4. Transfer mixture into a bowl. 5. Toss in remaining ingredients,

with the exception of the lettuce.6. Neatly assemble over 1 leaf of

lettuce. Eat “taco style,” and enjoy!

They want to avoid single party rule. The local chapter of the Independence Party announced its candidates for East Hampton Town offices, selecting a Democrat for supervisor and two Republicans for town board.

E a s t H a m p t o n V i l l a g e Administrator Larry Cantwell will top the Indies’ ticket. He is also competing to the nod from his party, as is Zach Cohen. Cohen, who lost a close race for supervisor in 2011, also screened with the Indies and, rumor has it, may meet with Republicans looking for an additional endorsement.

The vote for Cantwell was unanimous, party chair Elaine Jones reported. A statement from the committee notes Cantwell, “carries with him a peaceful demeanor needed to bring consensus and unified forward-thinking among people. And his more than 30 years of public service is testament to the success of his approach.”

“I’m very proud to accept the

nomination of the Independence Party,” Cantwell said yesterday. “I look forward to working with them to lead East Hampton with an even hand and an open heart.”

“We basically just handed the Democrats control of the town board,” Jones observed Monday. If he prevails come Election Day, Cantwell will lead a Democratic majority on the town board, joining board members Sylvia Overby and Peter Van Scoyoc.

With that in mind, Jones, said, committee members were more disposed towards endorsing non-Democrats for the two open slots on the town board. She said it wasn’t a difficult choice to make, as party members favored Fred Overton and incumbent Councilman Dominick Stanzione from the start, mostly because of their experience.

Overton, who is currently the town clerk, was a volunteer with a Springs Fire department for 48 years. He ran his own business, was town assessor for eight year, and town clerk for 13 years. “In all of

his positions he has been presented with difficult and confidential situations that were handled with finesse and genuine kindness. He is ‘unflappable,’” the committee release states.

Incumbent Stanzione has shown an ability to work with others and think for himself, the committee statement continued. “More importantly he has been able to flourish under pressure when he has had to battle to be an independent thinker. Dominick has stood up to politics and made decisions based on what is good for the people and the environment.” Said Jones, “Dominick has been put through the mill and has fought to make good decisions.”

The pair won the endorsement out of a field of six hopefuls. Kathy Cunningham, Job Potter, and Kathee Burke Gonzales have all screened with the Democrats and sought an Indies endorsement. Peter Wadsworth of the Quiet Skies Group also screened with the Independence members earlier this month.

Carole Brennan, the current

deputy town clerk, received the green light to run on the Indie ticket. They called her “a natural” choice to ascend to the elected position of town clerk. No one else screened for the position.

The same was true for the positions of assessor and highway superintendent.

Although incumbent assessor Eugene dePasquale expressed a belated interest in screening, the committee chose Republican Joe

CPF: One “Extraordinary” MonthBy Kitty Merrill

Community Preservation Fund revenues soared in the first quarter of 2013, to almost double those collected during the same time frame last year, Assemblyman Fred Thiele reported this week. At $20.23 million, revenues totted up to 92.7 percent higher than the first quarter of 2012, a not-too-shabby $10.5 million.

March 2013 revenues totaled $4.19 million compared to $3.77 million for the same stanza last year.

“The substantial increase in 2013 revenues has been driven by an extraordinary one month total of $11.13 million for January 2013, which appeared to be driven by year

end closings in response to federal tax changes. However, revenues for both February and March of 2013 were also higher than those months a year ago,” the assemblyman observed.

Generally East Hampton and Southampton Towns vie for the top spot. But this time, it’s Shelter Island Town that saw the largest revenue boost. Last year, the islanders collected $.08 million for the fund; so far this year, they took in $.67 million, representing an increase of over 737 percent.

This go-round, East Hampton saw the next greatest increase in revenue -- $5.77 million in 2013 compared to $2.8 million last year. That’s an uptick of 106.1 percent.

Southold 0.64m 0.94m +46.9%CPF revenues by Town for the first quarter of 2013 compared with 2012.

Southampton didn’t lag too far behind. Its CPF coffers saw an 88 percent bulge, with collections of $12.35 million in 2013 compared to $6.57 million during the first quarter of 2012.

In Southold Town revenues were up by close to 47 percent, with $.94 million this year, and $.64 mil last year. Riverhead Town’s revenues bumped up from $.08 million last year to $.67 million this year, for an almost 28 percent surge.

The number of first quarter transactions was 2,164 compared with 1,459 a year ago.

Since its inception in 1999, the Peconic Bay Regional Community Preservation Fund, which garners revenue through a two–percent transfer tax on most real estate transactions, has generated $798.88 million. The money is used to purchase open space and farmland, and for historic preservation.

What’s most important in a friendship? What is the glue that holds a friendship together? Find out how Sage and his dog Jules make new friends who are very different than they are in Joan Ranieri-Certain’s wonderful new children’s book, Sage And Jules Make New Friends.

“Making friends is not always easy, but having a loyal friend makes a big difference. That’s what a young boy named Sage and his little dog, Jules, discover when they decide to go to the playground,” the author explained. Ranieri-Certain wrote and illustrated the book.

Eric Wolf, host of “The Art of

New Children’s Book Focuses On FriendshipStorytelling” show, has said the book is, “A sweet and enduring story of a young boy and his dog, for children everywhere.”

In her books, Ranieri-Certain wants children to look beyond what they see on the surface and trust what they feel in their heart.

As the story unfolds, the book’s main characters encourage readers and listeners to be open to differences while honoring what is unique. The fresh, new style of photographic images combined with playful illustrations gives the colorful Sage and Jules children’s book series instant appeal to children and their parents. After reading the books, parents can

order a personalized and beautifully illustrated, 11x14 “Picture Me Page” 3-D “canvas” print that captures their children as if they are on the pages of their own stories.

Joan Ranieri-Certain is an artist living on the East End of Long Island. She has photo-illustrated various children’s stories in a fun, fresh and imaginative style. For the “Sage and Jules” children’s book series, she picked up the pen along with her brush and camera to both write and illustrate the stories. The inspiration for the stories comes from her own life experiences.

Zombie Run In Riverhead

What does it take to run a 5K through, mud, obstacles, and a horde of bloodthirsty zombies? Brains, of course. This Sunday the 4-H Campgrounds on Sound Avenue in Riverhead will be the scene of guts and glory, plus gory, as runners sporting “health flags” climb cargo nets and crawl through mud pits, all the while trying to avoid another obstacle – folks portraying one of the most on trend species of monster, zombies.

On Saturday, the 4-H club hosts its popular mud run and throughout

the weekend there will be additional activities, such as zombies vs. runners volleyball. New Life Crisis will perform as well.

Want to know more? Visit zombierace.com to sign up. But hurry, as Columbus from Zombieland knows, the number one rule for surviving in a zombie-infested landscape is “cardio.” K.M.

I don’t have an opinion about gun control.

I personally don’t have a gun, though with all my enemies I shouldn’t state that publicly.

If truth be told, the only time I shot a real gun was when I was about 12 or so. My mother inexplicably allowed me to accompany two older kids, Teddy Babula and Jay Kelly, to the Sag Harbor Dump to shoot rats.

Note we called it “The Dump.” It was not a recycling center. It was not a transfer station. There is really no politically correct way of transforming it to anything other than what it was then and is now: The Dump.

One of the guys lent me a shotgun, and we went down to Barry’s Hardware to buy shells, which cost a lot even back then – and my mother, remarkably, paid for them. When it was dark we (my mom stayed home) went to the dump. I couldn’t see a damn thing – it was pitch dark, but Jay and Teddy

The Right To Bear Armskept claiming they saw a rat and proceeded to shoot the damn thing. Finally I started doing it, too, and shot into piles of garbage until all the shells were gone. I don’t think I shot any rats but more than a few empty paint cans met their fate on that night.

During a recent visit to my mom’s house we reminisced about those wonderful years.

“Ma, were you out of your f***k**g mind?” I asked her seriously. I mean, what loving and caring mother would send a little kid out to shoot things with a shotgun in the middle of the night?

“Yeah, I was really worried.” She responded, nonplussed.

The truth was back in those days hunting (maybe not for rats) and shooting were common, even for teenagers. It was commonplace to see a pickup truck with a rifle mounted on the back window, a hunting dog in the truck bed, and some burly driver with a pack of

Lucky Strikes rolled in the arm of a short-sleeved t-shirt. And that was the girls.

Lots of the guys hunted regularly. Back then, like now, the hunters all claimed to eat whatever it was they hunted, but the truth is very few did, at least among the hunters I know.

Let’s face it, before you eat something you kill you have to skin and clean it, and it takes a rare breed of man to enjoy that kind of thing. Opossum stew? Don’t even try to go there.

Almost every violent nutzoid I’ve ever known, including my ex-wife, was quite capable of inflicting damage with or without a gun. Any nut who wants to go on a rampage can use bombs, knives, swords, or simply get a Barry Manilow album and play it super loud in front of a crowded building. People will begin committing suicide within minutes.

The bottom line though, is the killer’s mother legally owned the weapons used in Newtown, and she presumably would have easily passed the background check if there was such a thing.

Sometimes it’s hard, walking through a supermarket, to realize all those chicken parts were on a

living breathing animal. It’s hard to believe that chopped meat comes from a cow, too. So do your shoes, your car seats, and your baseball glove, except you don’t have to milk those items every day.

Our house in Sag Harbor, at the foot of Howard Street, was down the block from Cilli’s Farm. His cows would meander about. One day when I was about six I walked out the back door and a huge cow was standing right there, doing what they do best: chewing, even though there appeared to be nothing in its mouth. I remember my dog Susie, a city dog, looked up at it quizzically. “If that’s a dog I hope he doesn’t try to have his way with me,” she was probably thinking.

I ran in and told my mother, who grew up in the house. She wasn’t the least bit concerned. “Don’t worry – she’ll eventually get hungry and go home.” And she did – very slowly -- have any of us ever seen a cow run – and that’s no bull.

The next time I see Mom, Eleanor Forcucci Murphy, who is now 92, I’m gonna ask her about my confrontation with that cow: “Ma, were you out of your f***k**g mind?

Sometimes I wonder about that woman. No wonder they won’t let her buy an assault rifle.

Reward Illegal BehaviorDear Rick,

Tamerlan Tsarmaev, the foreign-born mastermind behind Boston’s terror bombings, was living on state welfare benefits as he plotted to kill innocent Americans.

Welfare benefits were also provided to Tsarmaev’s wife, daughter, and to both of Tsarmaev’s parents, including mother Zubeidat, who supplemented her welfare payments by shoplifting designer dresses.

The Tsarmaevs arrived here as legal immigrants along with some 900,000 lawful immigrants that arrive here every

year.Past immigration policy discouraged

individuals who’d immediately become a “public charge” i.e., go on welfare the day they arrived.

Today’s policy? As we’ve seen with the Tsarmaevs, it is, “Here’s your Green Card, and even though you didn’t earn these, here are the free benefits you get with the card!”

Lost in the debate over Amnesty is disturbing welfare data about America’s legal immigrants:

Among households headed by an immigrant with dependent children, nearly 60 percent use at least one welfare program, vs. 39 percent for comparable native households.

Highest welfare usage? Households headed by immigrants (with children)

from the Dominican Republic (82 percent), Mexico and Guatemala (75 percent) and Ecuador (70 percent).

States where immigrant households have the highest welfare usage? Arizona (62 percent); Texas, California, and New York (61 percent); Pennsylvania (59 percent); Minnesota and Oregon (56 percent); and Colorado (55 percent).

The Amnesty being promoted by Sen. Rubio and others would cost taxpayers untold billions. Amnesty would invite massive fraud, reward illegal behavior and expand the welfare rolls.

We can’t afford Amnesty!If you agree, give Mr. Rubio a quick call

CARAN MARKSON (EUGENIA BARTELL’S DAUGHTER)

Thank You ScoutsDear Mr. Murphy,

On behalf of our clients, all of us at East

We understand the reasoning behind the suggestion that East Hampton Town “rewards” its employees with team jackets. Now that a new phone system that will only connect you with “Michelle” has been installed, it will help determined taxpayers track staff down and identify them in the field.

But we are dismayed by the rash of jokes and putdowns about the official attire circulating around town hall.

After all, Supervisor Bill Wilkinson has always envisioned town employees as a team, just as he sees himself as a manager (not to mention consensus builder).

The garment itself, a heavy navy blue bomber jacket, leaves something to be desired, at least in our estimation. Editor Murphy favors the Members Only look, because it tells the world East Hampton is cutting edge, new wave, and innovative.

The lettering on the jacket hasn’t been finalized yet, so we have some suggestions. We especially like, for the back of the jacket, “I Work In A Living Hell” but in the spirit or cooperation we could live with “Everyone Hates Everyone Else Here.”

We suggest stitching the names of employees on the front, in gold lame if possible. Not merely their names, but also the endearing nicknames the supervisor uses for his charges when they aren’t in earshot: “Stupid,” “Lazy,” “Incompetent,” and “That F*** Head” immediately come to mind. Deputy Supervisor Theresa Quigley has a few suggestions as well: “The Anti Christ” for the planning director

What, No Epaulets?certainly evokes that team-first mentality we are striving for.

There is no doubt in our mind the Montauk Beach Club will do an excellent job manufacturing the jackets at its state-of-the-art facility, where everything is an allowable use under our streamlined town code. And hey, at $356 bucks a pop the jackets are no more expensive than a Ralph Lauren cashmere sweater, though we bemoan the fact they won’t be available in puce, cucumber, or lavender. The supervisor, by the way, said he ascertained the projected price per unit by “pulling it out of the air” and history tells us that is the most accurate appraisal method available.

But why stop with jackets? Nothing says “team” like skintight leotards – for the men, that is. Women get hot pants, because in this town we don’t discriminate.

The current administration famously did away with the town’s leaf pickup program because of a lack of funds. Surely, though, expending taxpayer dollars on these nifty outfits is a much wiser use of money. Hey, you can always set your leaves on fire, while the jackets are treated with non-flammable chemicals (oopsie, they poison the aquifer but what the hey).

We here at The Independent believe in free choice. Should an employee fail to appreciate the supervisor’s largesse, we believe the punishment should be tempered with mercy. No one who rebels should lose his or her job, period. A severe beating with a clam rake, or a sentence of three to five town board work sessions, is punishment enough.

Hampton Meals on Wheels do heartily thank Boy Scout Troop #298, all the Scout leaders, and American Legion Post #419, who made possible the delicious spaghetti dinner on Sunday, April 21. Our volunteers delivered more than 40 dinners to our homebound clients, including family and caregivers. These meals were a very special treat, because our clients cannot shop, cook, or prepare their own meals.

We are extremely grateful that the Scouts, while busy serving dinner guests at the American Legion, still had time to prepare takeout meals of the same quality, for those unable to attend.

It is heartwarming and comforting to know that so many individuals, especially young people, in the Town of East Hampton care so deeply about the needs of others.

We also thank the folks who purchased the tickets, which were donated to our organization so that our homebound friends might be included in this wonderful affair.

Finally, we thank our dedicated volunteers who helped deliver the spaghetti dinners on Sunday afternoon.

Thank you again, Scouts, for making this a success for everyone.

EDWARD McLAUGHLIN, PRESIDENT

Save A ChildDear Editor,

Eleven other states now call for babies to be screened for heart defects with a simple test called pulse ox. However NYS isn’t one of them. That’s why I traveled to Albany last week to urge lawmakers to pass a bill to ensure all babies in NYS are screened for heart defects using pulse ox.

If we can help save a child’s life, shouldn’t we? With pulse ox screening, it really is as simple as that. Pulse Ox is quick and painless, but more importantly, it can save lives.

Pulse ox is a screening that checks a baby’s blood oxygen level through sensors placed on their toe and finger. The results can indicate whether a child has a critical congenital heart defect

Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common birth defect in the U.S. and the leading killer of infants with birth defects. Wider use of pulse ox screening could help identify more than 90 percent of heart defects.

I am encouraging Senator Jack Martins and Assemblywoman Solages to support pulse ox screenings for babies. Now it is

time to pass this bill to help all babies have a healthy start in life.

JESSICA DIMEO

Subversive ElementsDear Editor,

I notice that the pretentious potentates trying to take our guns away are now trying to destroy our 2nd amendment gun rights, and turn us into victims of criminals, by destroying our U.S. Constitution by organizing a U.S. Constitutional Convention, also known as Con-Con, among our states.

So, the subversive elements who hate our country will have a chance to gut the Constitution to pieces. Their efforts to destroy our country and our enduring Constitution, which has proven to be the most liberty-minded in history and has repeatedly saved our country from enemies throughout history. I wish to urge all Americans to contact their state representatives and say no to a Con-Con!

ED NEMECHEK

Original HipsterDear Editor,

Regarding the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn’s new ad campaign billing the Son of God as “The Original Hipster:”

In the TV series “All in the Family”

Archie Bunker (played by Carroll O’Connor) replies to a hippy who is trying to turn him on to Jesus: “I knew Jesus long before you freaks turned him into a superstar!”

It seems little has changed in the past 40 years except for the fact that the hippies and the church hierarchy have now reversed roles. Obviously Archie Bunker knew a lot more about life than our promiscuous society gave him credit for.

If Jesus was the “Original Hipster” he would not have been crucified but loved by the world as one of its own, a la Justin Bieber. This is yet another in a series of silly attempts by the church to be “relevant” to an international pop culture that is increasingly decadent.

PAUL KOSKOSKIEditor’s Note: More than 50 years ago

the great comedian Lord Buckley, in his classic rap “The Nazz” came up with the idea of portraying Jesus as a hip cat.

Any thoughts on the bipartisan Gang of Eight’s immigration bill?

Steve GrantIt’s definitely a step in the right direction.Nothing else is being done so certainly this issome kind of progress. Someone here illegallyshouldn’t be here to begin with. But that fact ispassed. So let’s deal with it. Get the processgoing to get everyone in the system.

Margaret PorterCitizens here are in need of jobs and shouldhave the first chance to get them. But if peoplefollow the right and legal procedures they’reentitled to try to become citizens especially ifthey come from places that persecute themand treat them cruelly.

Mary LibbyAny bipartisan leadership is highly overdue.Any kind of good leadership is positive. Theimmigration bill question comes down toeconomic consequences. If businesses are notcomplying with the law there must beconsequences to make them comply.

Abraham RudaThere has to be something in betweendeportation and full amnesty and I’m glad theyare trying to find that in between, I’m not wildlyoptimistic about the bipartisan effort but whoknows. Maybe it is the beginning of somethingbigger. That would be great.

Budget constraints aren’t quashing creativity in Springs School. At a time when the schools are reducing their commitment to the arts, Springs School is celebrating its Visiting Artists Program with a strong contingent of devoted parents and art teacher Colleen McGowan assisted by Sue Ellen O’Connor.

To raise money for the program, local businesses have stepped up to donate prizes for the raffle that pays for the artists to work in the schools. The donations include the value of four weeks of summer art camp at Ross School, Grant Heating and Cooling smartphone thermostat, Whitmore’s gift certificate, Stephen Talkhouse ticket package, Sportime Amagansett, Gurney’s Inn and Spa, Sunset Cruise on the Mary Lloyd, Golden Eagle gift certificates and basket, painting by Barbara Bilotta at the Crazy Monkey Gallery, a week at the Pathfinder Day Camp, 9 pairs of Guild Hall tickets, Harvest or East by Northeast restaurant, Bay Street Theatre, Southampton Building Services, Boswicks or Indian Wells Tavern gift certificate, Dr. Edwards

Springs School Artists Exhibitteeth whitening kit, Gubbins and a message by Debbie Padavano, O’Connor reported this week.

Last year over 1000 student-crafted pieces of art graced the white walls in Ashawagh Hall during Springs School’s fifth annual Celebration of the Arts. This year kids in every grade had the chance to work with local artists, using an array of media and forms.

Kindergarteners learned puppetry from Irena Grant, while first graders made mobiles with Sara Faulkner. Wendy Gottlieb introduced second graders to ceramics and third graders expressed themselves through collage and portraits with Anne Holton and Karyn Mannix. Kids in upper grades tried watercolors with Andy Pisicano, Sumi painting with Ursula Thomas, figure drawing with Ruby Jackson and cartooning with Peter Spacek.

The opening of this year’s show will be held Tuesday from 4 to 6 PM, with student films and refreshments, plus the kid-crafted artwork. The Celebration of the Arts runs through May 9 and throughout the exhibit days, students will also be able to

tour the show. To buy a chance for the raffle

and support the visiting artists program, the tickets are $5 each or $20 for five tickets. They’re available at the Golden Eagle in East Hampton, Crazy Monkey in

Amagansett, Round Swamp Farm or at Springs School with Colleen McGowan as the contact person. The drawing will be held at the Springs Concert on May 21, with all prizes delivered, even if the winners are not present.

Student Wins Thayer fellowshipStony Brook Southampton graduate student Brian Abrams was awarded

$4000 as a winner of the Thayer Fellowship for 2013 last Friday, given to outstanding candidates applying from all the campuses of the SUNY system.

Abrams, a student in the university’s Master’s Creative Writing and Literature program and captain in the United States Marine Corps, is currently finishing a collection of stories, essays and poems primarily based on his experiences as a Marine infantry officer in Iraq and elsewhere.

“The committee of jurors was extremely impressed with Abrams,” said Joe Hildreth, artistic director for the Thayer Fellowship in the Arts.

The 30-year-old Abrams, originally from Houston, Texas, is expected to earn his MFA by December. After learning he had won he said he was “humbled to have been awarded the Thayer Fellowship,” especially in view of the fact that he was competing against “some of the top creative minds in the state, from multiple fields of study.”

“Being validated for one’s work is the highest honor an artist can receive,” he said, adding, “and prize money never hurt a young writer either.”

Ross Upper School A Civil War soldier visited

the sixth grade last week to talk about the life and times of army men during the deadliest war in American history. Actor Patrick Falci, taking on the persona of Confederate General A.P. Hill, described the four-year war that left more than 600,000 soldiers dead, and shared what life was like on the battlefield using costumes and props, including a Civil War–era rifle with a bayonet. The students are currently immersed in their American History unit. Last week Ross School and Ross Institute were honored to welcome visitors from Ross Tensta Gymnasium.

Ten teachers and administrators, six students, and the co-director of Ross Institute Sweden visited for four days, during which they visited classes, met with teachers and administrators, and explored the East End. Ross Tensta Gymnasium has been an accredited Ross School since 2008. Located in a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, the school has a large population of immigrant and refugee students.

Tuckahoe SchoolThe Spr ing Concerts are

approaching quickly. The Pre-K-3 Concert will be on May 21, beginning at 6 PM presenting Pre-K, K-1, 2-3 and 3rd Grade Flutaphones. The 4-8 Grade Concert will be on May 22 beginning at 7 PM presenting 4-5 Chorus, 6 Chorus, 5 Band, 6 Band and 7-8 Band. The 7th Grade Class will be having a Yard Sale from 8

AM to 1 PM. Donations are welcome, call Bonnie Downs at 283-3550 ext. 105 or ext. 112. Parent/Teacher conferences for the 3rd marking period are being held tomorrow and Friday so early dismissal for students will take place at 11:23 AM. The PTO Plant Sale this year will be held on Thursday, May 9 and Friday, May 10 on the front lawn of the school.

John M. Marshall Elementary School

On Friday students will perform the annual Earth day play during all-school meeting. Also, rehearsals continue for Disney’s Cinderella kids, which will be performed at the Middle School on Wednesday, May 22, and Thursday, May 23.

Registration for Kiwanis Club T-Ball, a free community program with no age requirement, will be held on May 11 from 9 to 10:30 AM in the JMMES fields.

East Hampton High SchoolMembers from the National

Honor Society were inducted into the group at a recent school ceremony. The National Art Honor Society inducted new members last month, and on May 1 the East Hampton World Languages Honor Society will be inducting students for the first time in a ceremony that evening.

Troy Grindle’s Far East Fiddle Group and David Douglas’s male and female choral groups are performing with The Daisy Jopling Band at Guild Hall at 7:30 PM on Saturday, May 4. Ms. Jopling is a

classically trained violinist who has an international performing and recording career as a rock violinist.

Honks and beeps dominated the parking lot on April 22, when the Justice League emulated the popular “Honk If You Love Someone” movement and held up signs in the car line.

East Hampton Middle SchoolThe eighth grade held a smoothie

day last week. It was a special treat at the end of a weeklong series of fun activities that Lea Bryant’s health class put together for their class at recess. The objective was to improve school environment and encourage healthy group activities that everyone could join in on. The group also had a pipeline adventure game, tag games, a scavenger hunt, and class relays. The entire week was part of the health class’s anti-bullying project.

The next PTA Meeting and principal’s breakfast will be held on tomorrow at 9:30 AM. At this meeting, there will be a panel of staff members -- guidance, psychology, and social work -- who will talk about the roles they play in helping kids learn about healthy behaviors.

There will be a dance for sixth graders only on Friday, May 3, from 7 to 9 PM. Parents are expected to pick up their youngsters at 9 PM sharp.

Ross kindergarten students recently visited East End artist Mary Jaffe in her studio and worked with a variety of clay types derived from different geographic locations.

Bloecker to run on their line. Praise for incumbent highway

supe Stephen Lynch was plentiful. As yet unopposed (The Dems will announce their slate later this month, but no contenders screened with the Independence Party.) Lynch, said the statement, “has tackled the job of Superintendent of highways, saved the Town a bundle of money, improved working conditions for his men, made homeowners happy, and kept us rolling well during storms.”

Three candidates – Carl Irace, Steve Tekulsky and Joe Gianinni - - sought the Independence endorsement for town justice. They selected Republican Irace, a former town attorney.

As for town trustee, “We have named Stephanie Talmage Forsberg, Sean McCaffrey, Nat Miller, Steven Lester, Tim Bock and Diane McNally from those already on the job. And for their working knowledge of the waters surrounding us, and of Trustee-owned roads and swamps and breeding estuaries, we have included the names Brian Pardini, Brian Byrnes and Dennis Curles.”

The best government the town could possibly offer involves candidates from both parties working diligently together, the statement points out at its conclusion.

trictlySBBridgehampton Bank Report

B r i d g e B a n c o r p , I n c . (NASDAQ:BDGE) announced first quarter results for 2013 last week. Highlights of the Company’s financial results for the quarter include:

Net income of $3.1 million and $.35 per share, a 6 percent increase in net income over 2012.

Net interest income of $11.9 million, an increase of $.5 million over 2012, with a net interest margin of 3.29 percent.

Total assets of $1.58 billion at March 2013, 14 percent higher than March 2012.

Loan growth of $219 million or 34 percent, compared to March 2012.

“The first quarter of 2013 was another strong quarter delivering an increase in net income, along with double digit increases in loans and core deposits,” commented Kevin M. O’Connor, President and CEO, Bridge Bancorp, Inc. “We accomplished this despite the headwinds of seasonality, the carryover impact of the fiscal cliff activity and an increasingly challenging interest rate environment. Our ability to overcome these challenges is a testament to our continuing investment in and expansion of the franchise, whereby we leverage market opportunities to attract both talented bankers and valuable customer relationships,” he added.

Retreat Online BoutiqueThe Retreat Boutique Online is

up and running. The new thrift store, at www.TheRetreatBoutique.org, offers many of the same benefits of its concrete sister store locations in Bridgehampton Commons and Port Jefferson Village—with the advantage of wider inventories and shopping from home at any hour of the day or night.

The Retreat Boutique (both on-and off-line) raises money to serve women and children who have survived domestic violence, while helping break the cycle of family violence through prevention education and other programs. The boutique sells (at a steep discount) used high-quality goods that have all been donated, including designer clothing, dishware, jewelry, books, housewares, and decorations.

Trashed: Cans overflowed with refuse on Main Street in Amagansett Sunday morning. According to Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, the town doesn’t implement weekend downtown garbage pickup until the summer season begins. However, within minutes of an email Sunday morning, he contacted Town Maintenance SupervisorTony Littman and reported removal would begin earlier, as the warm weather has local downtowns bustling with business.

Like father, Like Sons: BustedHey, Dad, don’t Bogart my billy club and brass knuckles. Last Wednesday

the East End Drug Task Force, working with the Suffolk County Emergency Services Unit and Riverhead Town Police C.O.P.E and K9 units executed a search warrant on a house on Overhill Road in Wading River.

There they found a suspected family business – pot business, that is. According to a release from RTPD, cops recovered quantities of marijuana

packaged and ready for sale, cash and a cache of weapons including a .22 caliber semi-automatic pistol, a .22 caliber assault rifle, a billy club and brass knuckles. Police also found scales and packaging material in the home.

All three arrestees – a father and his two sons – lived in the residence.Dad, 55-year-old David Brewer, was charged with unlawful possession of

pot and released on an appearance ticket. Son James Brewer, 24, was charged with criminal use of drug paraphernalia and released on an appearance ticket as well. That left the youngest Brewer, Justin, age 19, charged with the felonies – criminal possession of a firearm and third degree pot possession, plus three misdemeanor weapons possession counts and criminal possession of a controlled substance, seventh degree. He was arraigned in Riverhead Town Justice court and remanded to the Suffolk County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Southampton Town Board unanimously adopted legislation last week that would set aside $50,000 to help cover some of the costs for homeowners to upgrade their septic systems.

Since its inception, the Septic Rebate Incentive Program, sponsored by Councilwoman Christine Scalera, has seen a sizeable turn out from residents, all of whom had the opportunity to provide written comments on the initiative over the last month.

“Anything we can do to lessen nitrogen and/or the effects thereof on our waters and further enhance water quality is key to maintaining the integrity of the Town’s coastal areas and aquifers,” said Scalera.

The councilwoman updated the original resolution she authored to reflect input she received from the public.

The $50,000 in funds that will comprise the rebate program will be distributed to residents on a first come, first serve basis, according to a statement from the town board. The rebate legislation will let residents receive up to 50 percent of the cost of the upgrade. For those with homes in ciritcal watersheds within 200 feet of a water body,

Board Approves Septic Rebate Programthey’ll be eligible for up to 60 percent of the cost.

“Unfortunately, the economic realities are that very often people can’t absorb the cost of an upgrade themselves,” Scalera noted. “It is my hope that providing this incentive will make the difference in being able to afford what was perhaps an untenable cost without incentive.”

Although the resolution was passed by the town board last week, under legal requirement from the state, the new law won’t take affect for another three weeks.

Scalera is already looking into additional funding sources and grants that could potentially

increase the balance of the fund in order to keep the program going into the future and perhaps fund other projects.

“While ultimately, I believe a regional approach is what is going to be needed to address this critical issue,” Scalera said, “I believe this is a good beginning.”

The Pierson Whalers continue to roll along, prepping for the county playoffs while enjoying a resurgence in its athletic program.

Last Wednesday Pierson went up to Greenport and crushed the home team 12-1. That left the locals with a 13-1 League IX mark and a regular season title.

The Whalers Are Sitting PrettyForrest Loesch, a floor leader on

the Whaler’s excellent basketball team, is a most valuable player on the baseball diamond as well. He lashed a triple while going 2 for 3, good for five runs batted in, and also earned the victory on the mound. Aaron Schiavoni, another stalwart and MVP candidate, drilled three hits and scored three times.

The Whalers play at home and away with Shelter Island tomorrow and Friday (the home game). Both games begin at 4:30 PM.

Southold is 8-5, and will have to settle for second place – but the Settlers remain a dangerous playoff threat. On Thursday they went over to Shelter Island and escaped with a 6-4 win. Credit Alex Poliwoda, who kept the Islanders in check on the mound, and Shane Johnson, who went 3-4 and scored three times. Dylan Engels had two hits for the winners.

Southold goes up to Smithtown Christian today and gets that rival at home Friday at 4:30. Monday there’s a short ride to Greenport in the offing.

Riverhead is battling for a playoff berth after getting upended 9-5 by North Babylon last Wednesday.

The Blue Waves fell to 6-6 in League IV and face two important contests in the coming week, Friday at Newfield, and Tuesday against Half Hollow Hills. That game will be played in the Pulaski Complex at 4 PM.

With less than two weeks left to go in the regular season high school softball schedule, teams are looking at the postseason with an eye on obtaining the best possible playoff seed.

Consider Hampton Bays. The Baywomen were struggling to secure a slot two weeks ago, but after two sterling performances last week the team is in the catbird seat.

Friday the locals shook off a Babylon rally to secure a 7-5 victory at home. That left Hampton Bays comfortably ensconced in fourth place in League VII with a 6-3 mark.

Taylor Dunn broke a 5-5 tie with an RBI single in the seventh inning to secure the victory. Karlie Troyan drilled two hits and had two ribbies and Marly Tyler got on base in all four plate appearances with two hits and two walks. Tyler was on the mound for the winners.

Last Wednesday Hampton Bays edged Pierson/Bridgehampton with a stunning, last inning 4 run rally. Once again Tyler was in the forefront, delivering a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh with two outs. Zaluski reached on an RBI single that tied the game, and won it on a wild pitch.

T h e B a y w o m e n t a k e o n Southampton today at home in a 4 PM affair. The team travels to

Local Teams Jockey For Playoff PositionsBayport/Blue Point Friday and gets Mattituck at home Tuesday.

Pierson is 6-3 in League VII despite losing the heartbreaker to Hampton Bays and again Friday to Bayport/Blue Point.

The Lady Whalers take on Stony Brook Friday in Mashashimuet Park. The first pitch is scheduled for 4:30 PM. Tuesday the locals travel to Port Jefferson.

East Hampton is struggling for a playoff berth. On Friday the locals went up to Bellport and whitewashed the home team 7-0, with Casey Waleko turning in a dominating effort on the hill, recording 15 strikeouts and hurling a no-hitter. She also lashed five hits and record two ribbies. Bonac is in fifth place in League VI with a 4-6 mark, and takes on Rocky Point at home Friday in what is shaping up to be a crucial game. It’s slated to begin at 4:30. The locals travel to Mount Sinai Monday.

I t ’ s a lso crunch t ime for Westhampton. The Lady Hurricanes toppled Islip 8-2 Thursday on the loser’s field to run their League VI record to 5-6, good for fourth place. Maddy Sganga went 2-for-3 and went deep. Claudia Purkis earned the win. The locals take on Kings Park on the road today (4 PM) and get Miller Place at home tomorrow.

Westhampton travels to Rocky

Point Monday for a 4 PM tiff —incidentally, that game will be played at Carasiti Elementary School.

Riverhead is sitting pretty in League IV after knocking off Smithtown East 9-2 at home. Amanda Graziano went all the

way on the bump, allowing only three hits. The Wave are riding an 8-3 record and take on West Babylon today. Half Hollow Hills West comes to the North Fork Friday (4 PM) and the Wave travel to East Islip on Tuesday.

Will be back next week

Bringing It Home SafelyNational Safe Boating Week runs

from May 18 to May 24 in 2013. US Coast Guard Forces nation-wide and especially here “Out East” have a lot of plans to take and make safety a daily, year-long event. This column is about that.

Safe Boating Week – Why?The goal of National Safe Boating

Week is to emphasize the year-round effort to promote safe boating. All who enjoy the waters of our beautiful state are urged to practice safe boating habits. Remember: “Boat Smart. Boat Safe. Wear it.”

By 1958, boating by the millions rather than by millionaires was in full swing. What Coast Guard statistics showed was that the democratization of boating was

coming at a cost – and it wasn’t the 29-cents per gallon for the gasoline. It was accidents and fatalities.

Congress passed the Federal Boating Act and the National Safe Boating Week was born upon President Eisenhower’s signature. It was initially run as a committee with the US Coast Guard as chairman, and the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Power Squadron and the Red Cross as its informal members. It still took some time for the focused attention of the Coast Guard on boater safety to work its way through long habits and aged traditions.

It wasn’t until 1973, when 1,754 people died in boating accidents, that the trend started to reverse. Why? Why else – money, people and untiring focus!

Safety First – The Big PictureSafety isn’t something you put

on like an overcoat. Safety, to be truly effective, needs to be part of your daily habit and part of that is education – day-in, day-out. US Coast Guard Auxiliary Division-18 is all about that. Division 18 is comprised of four flotillas and it is at the flotilla level where the work gets done. Division-18 supports three Coast Guard stations “Out East” – SFO Moriches, Station Shinnecock and Station Montauk.

“Boat Smart. Boat Safe. Wear it” – Get In the Picture!

In 2013, the Wear It! campaign will continue, reminding boaters from coast to coast to put on their life jackets when on the water. The campaign is sponsored by the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the National Safe Boating Council and many other boating organizations.

Looking ahead to the 2013 campaign, note that the National Safe Boating Council will offer its free material on its www.safeboatingcampaign.com website. There is nothing stopping marina owners, dive shop proprietors, camp counselors and concerned parents from getting and using those materials.

The simple use of life jackets when engaging in any boating or paddle boat activity saves lives. Obeying and knowing the Navigation Rules or the nautical “Rules of the Road” through safe boating classes and not drinking alcohol or taking drugs while operating a boat, will save the lives of the boaters and those sharing the water with you. Wearing a life jacket

can reduce the number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each year by approximately 80 percent! It is a simple task that has the potential to reduce terrible loss in lives.

Kayak Races and TrawlerFestsAt $5 per gallon for fuel, we can

expect the explosion in the use of paddle sports to continue and the Coast Guard’s Operation Paddle Smart is key to curtailing the injuries and even deaths that these pastimes are piling up statistically.

Life Jacket StatisticsWorld War II brought us the

inflatable life jacket, as worn by sailors, pilots and Submariners. The fabric, which looked like rubber, dried out easily. Talcum powder was used to keep the fabric pliable. Later on, military technology was applied to making consumer life jackets. These have developed through the years to the various styles we see today. But any life jacket, inflatable or otherwise, must be worn to work.

Here are the stats: 16 people go in the water with life jackets on and 15 come out. 16 people go in the water without life jackets on and one comes out.

May 18 is a nation-wide Wear It! Day. Join in leading yourself and your loved ones to safer boating

Don’t be a statistic.

A hand very similar to this one was played at the East Hampton Duplicate Bridge Club’s Thursday night game held at the Day Care Center in East Hampton. Most South players became declarer at a four spade contract. However, with West having doubled, it was clear that most of the missing high cards would be in a bad location for declarer.

West led to protect his holdings in hearts, diamonds and clubs. South could see potential losers in hearts (2) and clubs (2 or 3). With the opening spade lead, can you make 10 tricks? Most Souths could not navigate these delicate waters.

One astute player, Beth Raymond, devised a plan before she played to the first trick. She realized that she would need to develop two diamond tricks on which she could play two losers from her hand. Thus she won the first trick in dummy and played the spade six from her hand. Next she led the jack of diamonds, discarding a small club from her hand. West won but no matter what

card West played, Beth could win the first or second lead from West. Next she played a trump winning in dummy again and leading a second diamond.

On the second diamond from dummy Beth discarded a small heart. West won the trick but now could only win two diamonds and the ace of clubs because Beth could return to dummy by playing the spade 2 to the spade 3. The two diamond winners allowed her to discard two more potential losers from her hand. Well thought out and well played, Beth!

Any questions or comments can be sent to [email protected]. Why not join us for one or both of our weekly duplicate games? We play on Thursday nights at 7 PM. at the Day Care Center in East Hampton and on Monday afternoons at 1:15 at the Water Mill Bridge Club. If you play bridge you can easily learn how to play duplicate bridge. If you need a partner, call me at 631-907-2917 or e-mail me at the above address.
