From East Hampton To Africa And India: Africa

By Kitty Merrill

Stephen Kane is no stranger to world travel. At 15, the East Hampton High School sophomore has already been to Egypt, Europe and the Caribbean. But the month he just spent in Tanzania helping to renovate a school in a small village was, he said, “My favorite trip ever.”

“I always wanted to go to Africa,” he admitted. With an emphasis on community service and cultural immersion, Kane’s trip to Tanzania was far from luxury travel. A 17hour plane ride was followed by another 18 hours in layovers and

India

By Kitty Merrill

“I wanted to do something new with my summer. I wanted to travel and I wanted to do something useful with my time.” With that checklist of “wants,” Will Stoecker decided to volunteer in the village of Kotri in Rajasthan, India. He picked India because “It’s so culturally opposite from where we are.”

The first stop in the continent was New Dehli. “It’s like cities toppled upon cities.” The federal district is reminiscent of Washington DC, but in Old Dehli, Stoecker saw the most abject of poverty. Kids looked like they never had a meal in their lives and people looked upon the visitors with vacant and hungry eyes. Travelers saw crows picking at corpses in the street, while on another day, they had tea with a queen in a palace in Udaipur.

From the bus on the way to Kotri, “It didn’t look very exciting,” Stoecker reported, “But as soon as we stepped off, everybody just lit up.” Kotri residents are clearly impoverished, but “They have such a strong sense of community and everybody was so happy.”

The students were tasked with planting trees to keep buffalo out of the primary school, plus repairing

Adventures Abroad What did your teenagers do this summer? Stephen Kane and Will Stoecker of East Hampton experienced the trips of a lifetime, and helped others, in India and Africa. And, at 15, they were both among the youngest of their travel companions.

The boys’ adventures abroad were organized by Putney Student Travel. Since 1951, Putney has offered high school and middle school students the chance to tour the world, experience different cultures, and in many cases, serve communities worldwide.

Lifelong friends, Stephen and Will learned about the programs from Putney alum and family friend Sara Amaden who, as a high school student, travelled with Putney’s first tour to China.

Putney’s summer programs can focus on language immersion, community service, global awareness, cultural exploration or enrichment adventures. It offers summer programs in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

A raola, the home of the landowner who owns the entire village was their pied a terre in Kotri. “It’s very old, very beautiful,” Stoecker said of the estate in the center of the village. He made friends with two boys who attend high school in a bigger town nearby, and got a taste of Indian hospitality.

MY PLAN TO SAVE BASEBALL FOR THE LITTLE KIDDIES Don’t you just love what’s happening to Alex Rodriguez?

He’s such a disgusting, lying piece of slime that I’m surprised he’s not running for the Democratic nomination for Mayor of New York City.

He’s just one interview away from being Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner – jiving the world, saying they’re asking for forgiveness and all that stuff is in the past. Like Rodriguez, they’ve mastered the art of looking you straight in the eye and lying.

But let’s not talk about these losers.

Let’s talk about the millions of 10 and 12-year-olds like your grandchildren and mine who love baseball and sadly have no one to root for but lowlifes like A-Rod.

Let’s talk of my plan to save baseball for them.

Here’s a statistic: 14 million people have made it a point to go visit Cooperstown because it is the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum.

But Cooperstown is filled with old ballplayers your kids have never heard of.

Now there’s a great deal of controversy about the Hall of Fame and it centers around the fact that there are a lot of modern-day baseball players who should get into the Hall of Fame when they retire because they have even better records than Ruth, Cobb, DiMaggio and Mantle. But these guys have better records because they took human growth hormones and they shot up with steroids that made

them into superstars, while guys like Ruth, Cobb and Mantle only had booze and greenies to help them get through the night.

This is a serious controversy because what baseball is saying is: Don’t you dare mix these druggies in the same Hall of Fame as our drunks and bigots.

So in my brilliance I’m going to make a suggestion that will prevent baseball from keeping so many of today’s stars from being honored and ruin the game for this generation of kids, who think Babe Ruth is the name of a candy bar.

After all, how can you keep a raging psycho like Barry Bonds from being in the Hall of Fame? But at the same time, Bonds overshadows some great players who didn’t have chemical help to get them into the Hall.

So here is my brilliant idea.

Let’s build another Hall of Fame in another town and call it the ‘Roid Hall of Fame. A place where today’s modern-day cheaters can be honored. Where will we build the ‘Roid Hall of Fame?

Since it is my idea, I get to pick the location. I say we build the ‘Roid Hall 0f Fame in Yaphank, New York, which is in Suffolk County.

Why Yaphank?

Well, to tell you the truth, I like the way the name sounds. Yaphank sort of sounds like the sound a ball makes when it hits an illegal corkdoctored bat. YAPHANK!!!

Think of it. Fourteen million people traveling on the LIE to go to Yaphank so they can see the Alex Rodriguez statue, the Sammy Sosa bat, and those neat Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi

and Manny Ramirez plaques. I guarantee Yaphank will outdraw Cooperstown the first year it opens its doors.

Let’s not forget to have the Jose Conseco wing. Conseco is a bit of a bum, but no one has done more for steroid use then Jose. I suggest we etch his immortal words on the entrance to the Jose Conseco wing: “Yes, I educated three or four players. Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez, Ivan Rodriguez. I injected them. Absolutely.”

Then there will be the needle room where your kids can see the needles used by all the star players.

And here’s something that the kiddies and their parents will love – the only area that isn’t devoted to drug users: The Pete Rose Gambling Pavilion.

Rose was tossed out of baseball for betting on the game. Some of us think he got a raw deal from baseball. But now he can be honored because when you take your kid to the Pete Rose Gambling Pavilion, it’s hooked up with Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, so your sons and daughters can place the first bets of their lives on any major league game that’s being played that day.

Now I know some of you prudes think that I’m wrong for suggesting that a 7-year-old kid learn how to place a bet.

My Uncle Freddie (I called him Gee-gee) taught me how to handicap horses when I was nine, and look at what a sterling, holier-than-thou person I’ve turned into.

I hope you are taking this seriously, because a ‘Roid Hall of Fame will save baseball. The thing about the ‘Roid Hall of Fame is that you truly have to be a great ballplayer but a flawed individual to make it into the ‘Roid Hall.

There is the mistaken belief that every player who takes steroids becomes a super player. Wrong.

Have you ever heard of Gary Bennett Jr., Troy Glaus, Adam Piatt or Jorge Piedra? They are among the hundreds of players who have been named for taking steroids and human growth hormones who are ordinary, run-of-the-mill players with mediocre careers.

And yes, I guess if baseball is grateful enough they might erect a statue to me at the ‘Roid Hall of Fame with an inscription reading: JERRY DELLA FEMINA, THE MAN WHO GAVE THE USE OF STEROIDS IN BASEBALL A MUCH-NEEDED SHOT IN THE ARM.

Woman Falls Overboard And Drowns A gorgeous night over the sparkling waters off Montauk turned deadly Sunday night when New Jersey women apparently fell off the boat and drowned.

John and Ninive Petrocelli were sitting on the bow of their anchored boat less than three miles from the shore, John Petrocelli told police, when his wife went aft to get a sweater. He never saw her again. He quickly radioed for help just after midnight when he realized she wasn’t on board – about 20 minutes – and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter was on the scene within 15 minutes. Other boats in the area joined the search. A boater found her body 11 hours later about three miles away from where she fell.

The deceased, 40, owned Cristol Inc., an architectural glass and concrete firm based in Manhattan. Her husband owns a high-end construction firm based in New Jersey. The pair lived on the Upper West Side.

East Hampton Town Police said the Suffolk County Homicide squad was called in, a fairly routine event when the cause of death is unknown. However, investigators said they had determined it to be an accidental death.

Suffolk County Police Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick said Monday that John Petrocelli was cooperative but understandably upset. “Nothing appears suspicious at this time,” he added.

Petrocelli told police his wife wasn’t a strong swimmer. He had thrown flotation devices into the water once he realized she went overboard but she wasn’t wearing one when her body was found.

AOL To Shutter At Least 300 Patch Sites

By Rick Murphy

Under fire from intense investor pressure, AOL has finally agreed to address massive losses sustained by Patch, its hyper local network of local news-orientated websites that have been hemorrhaging money.

Tim Armstrong founded Patch in 2007 and sold the concept to AOL in 2009 when he became CEO. But his optimistic projections of revenue never materialized and have proven to be wildly unrealistic. Instead, Patch, which has about 900 sites, is costing AOL a fortune, at least $300 million thus far.

Friday Armstrong announced he will seek to sell or close at least 300 sites, though he left open the possibility that Patch could find strategic partners for some of the sites.

Patch employees have been warned by the parent company not to comment, sources said. Requests for comments from AOL and Patch executives have

not been returned. Ironically for a news site that prides itself on being up to the moment, the closures have not been posted on any of the local Patch sites.

The internal battle at AOL to scale back Patch came to a head last year. Starboard Value LP, a dissident investor which owns 5.3 percent of AOL shares, pushed aggressively to cut losses incurred by Patch.

AOL had purchased Huffington Post, an online site, with the hope that a positive synergy would develop with Patch.

Arianna Huffington hoped to transform Patch into a moneymaker by hiring more professional journalists and improving the quality of the content. Instead, she quickly distanced herself from the project after surveying the roadblocks – specifically, resistance from AOL shareholders and the parent company’s stated desire to bring Patch to profitability by the end

of this year.

Armstrong said at least 300 sites are not attracting sufficient revenue or traffic and will be sold or shuttered.

He said he thought Patch would be an attractive addition for some newspapers.

It has been apparent for several months that AOL was scaling back on expenditures for Patch.

Local sites for the most part stopped sending their editors to municipal meetings and stepped back from a commitment to cover local news. The sites began relying more and more on canned copy — press releases — to fill space. More and more of the copy was produced by unpaid bloggers, many rank amateurs.

Jonathan Berr, a writer for Investor Place, predicted that Patch wouldn’t meet Armstrong’s forecast for yearend profitability and would continue to lose money unless it did something drastic.

People “don’t want local news covered in a dull, amateur way. But from what I’ve seen, that’s what the bulk of it is,” Berr said last week.

As Patch turns more and more to amateur bloggers and photographers for content, the quality of the product declines even further, he added -some of the blogs on the local sights are cringe-inducing.

“To top it off, the audience for this type of content is small by its very nature, and thus too small to interest many local businesses,” Berr added.

According to Business Insider, one former Patch ad salesman claimed, “local advertisers can sign up on Google’s self serve ad thing and choose patch.com to advertise.” The move cuts out the local middleman and allows advertisers to spend a fraction of what they pay Patch directly for the same ad.

Many of the sites are down to a single employee — the editor, with literally no resources available to improve content or expand news coverage. Some have bitterly complained about their workload.

Published reports said Patch sites cost an average of $150,000 a year to run and were returning only a third as much in revenue. Armstrong said last week AOL has cut expenses 25 percent so far this year “and further cuts are in the works.” Though the goal is to make Patch profitable by year’s end some experts are predicting the complete demise of Patch as stockholders apply more and more pressure on AOL’s directors.

Business Insider writer Jim Edwards opined that if AOL didn’t fund a massive expansion to bring Patch to every national market then it would ultimately have to close it altogether.

Bloomberg’s Edmond Lee reported in June that Patch’s 900 sites were costing AOL more than $100 million annually. TechCrunch estimated Patch has cost AOL over $300 million and brought in only $35 million in 2012, considerably less that AOL had hoped.

TechCrunch believes AOL will close at least 400 sites in the near future.

Locally, there are Patch sites for East Hampton, Southampton, HamptonBays, Westhampton, Riverhead, the North Fork, and another in Port Jefferson. Though AOL officials have not announced plans, logic would dictate that the Southampton Town sites might merge, and the sites on the North Fork consolidate. According to TechCrunch, as many as 550 employees could lose their jobs, some as soon as Friday.

There are about 40 sites on Long Island and approximately 200 in the New Jersey/New York/Connecticut corridor.

Asked how he felt about being named a fishing “legend” by the Kiwanis Club of East Hampton and the Montauk Friends of Erin, Kenny Bouse answered laconically, “I’ve had a lot of names in my life.”

Retired after being diagnosed with cancer four years ago, Bouse walks down by the docks in Montauk every day. He said he was conscripted to legendary status

by Kiwanis Club member and marine owner Henry Uihlein. “I was walking by and Henry came out and grabbed me,” Bouse said.

For good reason. Bouse has been fishing Montauk since 1951. He worked as a mate at first aboard the High Seas. He captained his own boat, Peggy S for 37 years, pinhooking, tuna fishing and running charters.

Originally from Bay Shore, Bouse said, “I fished all over the world” during carefree days of his youth.

When he settled in Montauk, he’d fish there most of the year and head south to fish during the winters.

Regarding the cancer, he said, “They told me I had Stage Four and a month to live. I fooled them.” He said he’s seen a lot of changes over

www.indyeastend.com

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

the years, but one thing remained the same. “I came out here on a Harley Davison and I’m still riding.”

The designation of “Montauk Fishing Legend of the Year” is part of the annual Mercury Montauk Grand Slam Tournament hosted by Uihlein’s Marina. It kicks off Friday and runs through the weekend.

It’s described as a one of a kind inshore event keyed to catching the largest grouping of four species: sea bass, striped bass, fluke, and bluefish. Individual catches will be judged as well. To learn more, call 631-668-3700.

An original Old Whalers’ Festival program.

Sag Harbor

HarborFest Dates Set The Sag Harbor Chamber of

Commerce has announced dates for the 50th Sag HarborFest. It will be held September 6 to 8 PM. HarborFest began as the Old Whalers’ Festival in 1963 and has grown over 50 years into a threeday festival complete with music, food tastings, contests, historic tours and, of course, the famous whaleboat races, which will take place throughout the weekend off Windmill Beach in Sag Harbor.

Started in 1963 as a way of attracting visitors to Sag Harbor early in the season, the Old Whalers’ Festival celebrated the community’s historic past and helped put money in merchants’ coffers when they needed it most — late June, after a long winter and spring and before

July brought the tourists and the money.

The Festival — with John Steinbeck as its honorary chairman, and the International Whaleboat Competition attracting teams from around the globe — brought coverage from the New York Daily News, ABC television’s Wide World of Sports and media from across the country and set Sag Harbor on a course that made it a destination for vacationers and boaters moving up and down the East Coast.

This year, the successor to the Old Whalers’ Festival, the Sag HarborFest, honors the 50-year anniversary of festivals celebrating the village’s maritime history.

The festival, revived in 1990 to celebrate the publication of Dorothy Zaykowski’s history of the village, Sag Harbor: An American Beauty, has, for the better part of two decades, tried to honor the traditions

established by the original Old Whalers Festival. Each year it has added events and competitions, tours and attractions to keep visitors engaged and entertained. And each year organizers contemplate what the fest might bring, echoing Steinbeck’s observation in his “Welcome” to the second annual Old Whalers’ Festival: “No one can foresee what will happen here but the prospects are dreadful and beautiful to contemplate. But after all, the Old Whalers whom we celebrate lived dangerously, and we cannot let them down.”

The weekend will kickoff with a benefit party at the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum (sagharborwhalingmuseum.org) on Friday night from 6 to 9 PM. The “HarborFest Fiesta” will feature Montaco Truck tacos, Montauk Brewing Company beer, Channing Daughters wine, ice cream from Sylvester & Co. and music by DJ Mister Lama.

The famous Chowder Contest will take place on Sunday and the 2013 Whaleboat Champion will be crowed after two days of intense races.

A “New Life” For Kids

By Kitty Merrill

On Saturday a crowd of over 200 supporters were on hand to celebrate the opening of the East End’s first Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender center, created for youth at the Old Whalers’ Church in Sag Harbor.

The center will offer educational and outreach programs, as well as providing a place for youth to gather. It will serve as an interim locale as community members work with the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth (LIGALY) to raise money for a stand-alone center.

Joel Johnson, one of the founders of East Hampton High School’s GayStraight Alliance, spoke of traveling to Bay Shore each week to attend LIGALY get-togethers. He described having a center near home as “a dream come true.” GLBT youth, and their friends and allies will have a safe place to congregate in a supportive environment. Even those who don’t go there will feel safe knowing it’s there, Johnson said, knowing “This is somewhere where you can be safe and have a good time with your friends.”

“This is a new life for kids here,” said Johnson. The push for the center began following the suicide last year, of East Hampton High School student David Hernandez.

LIGALY executive director Dr. David Kilmnick addressed supporters and New York State Assemblyman Fred Thiele was among those celebrating the opening on Saturday.

On Monday he said, “The new GLBT Center is a welcome addition to the services we need to provide for our children and families on the East

End. David Kilmnick and LIGALY are to be commended for recognizing that our region should have its own center. My heart goes out to the family of David Hernandez.

Nothing can replace their loss, but this center will also serve as a living memorial to his life. I look forward to working with the community to help this center provide programs for the East End that will make it a permanent fixture in East End life.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

New Fiscal Reality

By Thomas P. DiNapoli

When Detroit, once one of America’s largest cities and industrial engines, files for bankruptcy to resolve its fiscal woes, it gets people talking. And now, a brighter spotlight has been placed on the fiscal challenges facing local communities around the nation and here in New York.

Many are asking if Detroit’s fiscal situation and bankruptcy are a foreshadowing of what’s to come for other local governments as a number of factors continue to push them towards a financial cliff.

Municipal bankruptcies are rare around the nation. They have

never happened in New York, and with good reason. Bankruptcy proceedings of municipalities in other states have left fiscal problems unresolved for years, while making it more difficult for local governments to deliver services.

But there are wider lessons to be learned from Detroit. One of the biggest take-aways is the importance of having an honest conversation about the difficult challenges facing local governments and how they can best achieve real solutions when their regional economies, demographics and traditional revenue sources change.

Here in New York, the Great Recession and our slow national and state recovery have directly affected several sources of local revenue. For instance, sales tax revenues have suffered major declines, state and federal aid haven’t kept pace with inflation, and property taxes – the most significant source of local revenue – have been capped by the state.

Total city expenditures increased 8.4 percent, but revenues only increased 6.4 percent. And town expenditures grew 12.9 percent, as revenues merely increased 7.1 percent. By 2011, nearly 300 local governments had deficits and more than 100 had inadequate cash on hand to pay their bills.

Meanwhile, population and job losses in many communities outside of New York City have Continued on page 21.

Right Place, Wrong Lane Numerous tipsters alerted Southampton Town Police that an erratic motorist was endangering others on Noyac Road. A responding patrol unit found out the hard way – they were almost hit by the motorist, who was driving in the opposite lane and headed straight for them. Police ascertained the driver, a 24 year-old woman from Watermill, was soused. She was hit with a DWI charge and numerous traffic violations. She slept it off in a cell.

The tipsy motorists managed to run into not one but two mailboxes and smacked into a utility pole as well. He was arrested at scene, transported via ambulance to Southampton Hospital for medical treatment, and brought back to police headquarters for processing, and an AM arraignment in justice court.

Bank Robbery Suffolk County Police detectives are investigating a bank robbery that occurred Friday at the Capitol One Bank in Center Moriches. A man entered the bank, located at 500 Main Street, at 12:37 PM, approached a teller, and displayed a note demanding cash. The teller complied with the demand and gave the suspect cash from the drawer.

The suspect fled. The robber is described as a black male, between 5 feet 3 inches tall to 5 feet 5 inches tall, 35 to 40 years-old, with a thin build. He was wearing light colored jeans, a black jacket, sunglasses, and a blue hat with white stripes.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will remain confidential.

Fiscal

Continued from page 18. resulted in higher-than-average unemployment, rising poverty rates and an increased demand for government services.

Combined, these factors are having a very real and adverse effect on the day-to-day operations of local governments. So what are the solutions that can help?

Before you can attack a problem, you need to understand what you are facing. This is why my office has developed an early warning system to present a realistic account of local government finances and help foster much needed public discussions at the local level about fiscal stress so that corrective actions can be taken. This way, we can reach lasting solutions and avoid steps that may cause needless harm to our communities.

My Fiscal Stress Monitoring System uncovers specific counties, cities, towns, villages and school districts that are in significant stress or approaching stress. The system – developed by experts who understand the complexity of local government finances – scores municipalities and school districts on various financial indicators.

Our system’s first set of scores identified two dozen communities from every region of the state facing some level of fiscal stress.

This included eight counties, three cities and 13 towns. This list was a wakeup call for many local officials and for taxpayers.

Now the attention must turn to solutions. Although there will be no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with fiscal stress, there are initial steps that should be taken.

Given the tough choices facing local governments, elected leaders and their constituents must work together. Local officials should go the extra mile to inform their constituents and seek their input on budget decisions. Voters owe it to themselves to learn more about the financial decisions being made in their communities and help prioritize their community’s needs more effectively.

To help our partners at the local level become more efficient, more creative, more forward-thinking and more effective with available resources, my office also created a new local government support program – ACT FAST – which stands for Avoid Crisis Tomorrow with Fiscal Awareness Strategies Today.

By request, we will provide accelerated risk assessments to

determine the specific services that could be beneficial to individual communities. This approach will help us provide the best resources and advice to local governments so that they can make better budget decisions. These can include audits, budget reviews and help with longrange financial planning.

I believe these types of preventive actions – ideally developed with active participation from citizens who will be affected − will result in less cost and less disruption to vital services.

At the end of the day, knowledge is power. By fostering a much-needed public discussion about fiscal stress, we can help communities across New York avoid following Detroit down a troubled financial path.

EDITORIAL The Independent’s Policy

They call it the Silly Season but we understand a lot of folks take local politics very seriously.

As always, this newspaper intends to help voters make educated choices about the candidates they choose to vote for. Towards that end, we will profile the local players, and have the candidates visit us in house for in depth interviews.

What we don’t want to do is get involved in the feuds and gamesmanship that sometimes accompanies local elections.

For 19 years our policy toward political advertisements was to collect payment at the time the ad is placed. Recently, we relaxed that policy for the convenience of the local candidates – basically it was cumbersome to collect at the time an ad was placed because frequently a campaign manager would place the ad, but the money would come from the treasurer.

These are our neighbors and friends. No politician has ever stiffed The Independent and we doubt it will ever come to that. However, because of the recent brouhaha, we are instituting a new policy towards campaign advertising

Independent VOICES

Good Work

Dear Editor, Just finished reading the Editorial of August 7, 2013, in The Independent. Every word in the editorial is 100 percent correct.

I just wanted to compliment you with this short note. Keep up the good work. My best to Jerry Della Femina, I enjoy his column.

JACK CAPONE

Projected Savings Dear Editor, At Saturday’s “informational meeting” hosted by Sagaponack Village Mayor, Don Locheim, residents were “treated” to a rare opportunity to witness local government representation going shockingly awry. The Mayor’s ill-conceived proposal to create a stand alone Village Police Department,

was not only attempted to be justified by a woefully underestimated and lacking budget, but revealed how badly lacking the Mayor and his Village Board members are in understanding the ins and outs of running a police force and the inevitable rising costs of doing so.

Perhaps most egregious was the Mayor’s display of contempt for the second home owner population, who, while not year-rounders, contribute the overwhelming portion of tax revenue, while burdening services at a minimum. Really, Mr. Mayor?

He and his Board need look no further than both the budgets and the headaches of our neighboring villages with their own Police Departments: Quogue over $3 million per year, Westhampton Beach $2.3 million not counting pension costs, and Sag Harbor $2.6 million. Trying to fool us into thinking Sagaponack will not end up with the same cost to the taxpayer is simply dishonest.

The need was not clearly established at

we hope will appease those concerned: we are asking political advertisers with contracts to tender payment within seven days after the ad runs in the newspaper.

Hopefully, this policy will allow all of us to move on to what’s really important: the issues.

It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over

It’s the same thing every season – the crickets begin chirping. The tomatoes and corn ripen. Then, that inevitable first evening breeze of chilly air.

Yes, it’s depressing. For kids, because they have to go back to school. For second homeowners and renters, because they go back to the city. But forget all the doom and gloom – last time we looked, there are still five weeks of summer left, and as every local knows, the best days of the year are in September.

The beaches are deserted. There are plenty of seats in the popular restaurants. You can go see a good movie without waiting on line. You can drive to another village without spending an hour in traffic (OK, maybe not), and you can park on Main Street. Best of all, football season gets underway, fittingly, right after Labor Day. Life is sweet. the meeting, as there was not any instance cited that the response time to any police/ safety incident was inadequate. On the contrary there were numerous residents who are upset by the “harassment” of the police on complete stops, low speed limits etc. So the overwhelming sentiment at meeting was too much police coverage not too little.

The projected budget mentioned at the meeting lacked any back up data and two former police officers (one who claimed he had budgeting expertise) questioned and stated that the true costs of operating one’s own police force was not accurately reflected in the projections. So in fact the “projected savings” may not even exist and the true costs not accurately reflected.

The Mayor’s intent for meeting was to “measure the sentiment of residents for its own police force.” How does one accurately measure the town’s sentiments from a poorly advertised meeting? A number of people requested a referendum but the

Mayor said there was not enough time.

There are only 350 residents of Sagaponack so either via email or through written correspondence, present the facts, the current situation and the potential pros and cons of each solution. Additionally, outline all facts and all detail behind budget and let people “informally vote” as that would be a much more adequate way to measure sentiment.

I believe the residents of Sagaponack whether full-time (myself) or part-time deserve their voice to be heard and this would be a much more appropriate way to measure the true sentiment of residents and avoid personal agendas/railroading.

Southampton Town Council. With this honor comes the responsibility of listening to the people.

Over the last few years, I have been listening at Town Hall as a member of the Town’s Budget and Finance Committee, as a member of the Audit Advisory Committee, and while attending over 50 Town Hall meetings. More recently, I have been listening on the campaign trail, knocking on doors, attending civic meetings and community events.

I am hearing that many residents and taxpayers feel the way I do when it comes to our local government. We want our input to be taken seriously instead of being ignored and told that our elected officials know what’s best for us.

We want responsiveness and real solutions in place of costly studies and surveys that act as a façade for politicians getting things done, but in reality are more about self-preservation and buying time until the next election.

Our business community is over regulated, does not have an adequate forum to express their concerns, and is being treated like second-class citizens.

Finally, we are all disappointed with the petty politics and the lack of transparency at Town Hall meetings.

A fundamental question Southampton Town residents should ask themselves is this: “Who does the Town belong to and who should be making the decisions that affect the present and future of Southampton?”

I believe that the Town of Southampton belongs to the people. Our municipal government should not be run for the gain of Town Hall or special interests, but for the benefit of our local residents and taxpayers who are collectively the “shareholders” of the Town.

Moreover, I believe our public servants’ top priority should be educating themselves on the issues, determining the pulse of the community, promoting informative debate, and then executing the will of the people by taking timely and cost effective action.

These are the things that I will do when elected as your Councilman on November 5th.

Do you remember learning to swim?

Robert Seavey I learned to swim when I was about seven and a half. I grew up in Brighton Beach, in Brooklyn.

There was a pool there. I couldn’t swim but I wasn’t scared. I just kept going and going until one day, I could float! And there it was. That was the day I could swim!

Bob Grey I was seven or eight. My parents decided I should have swimming lessons. Every day, for about two weeks I rode my bicycle to my lessons. I remember learning the different strokes. The first time I swam across the whole pool, I realized, I’d learned to swim.

Klaus Moehnle I’m from Germany, where it’s common to learn to swim very early. I was about four when I learned. I was scared the first time I went in the water alone but in a few months I was able to swim. I taught my daughter to swim at a much younger age than me.

John Williams I was very young when I learned to swim. I remember being afraid at first. But swimming is all about conquering fear and it’s also about the joy of independence. It’s about the joys of being immersed in water, which I think is one of the greatest pleasures in life. concerns, or learn more about why I want to work for you, please visit my website at www.JeffMansfield.com.

Fruit Salad Ramblings Dear Editor, As usual, Richard J. Kause has difficulty “staying on course.” My response to his letter addressed the scare tactics of “closing the airport” which only originates, out of the mouth of the crybabies!

I never heard one person utter that phrase in 25 years. Keep planting that seed. Not angered, but bewildered, by the blabber and misinformation. I think they call that “verberreha.”

I only mentioned that it will be “us,” the residents of the town, not like you and most of the pilots who also do not live here. Who the hell are they to dictate that taxes be increased to support their hobby? No one questions their right to fly. They are being questioned by the

thousands of residents who they routinely disturb, by not “using common sense.”

His ramblings are like a fruit salad, all over the place. Route 114? A state road that state taxes pay for. I pay state taxes as all of us do. You do not pay East Hampton Town taxes, we do.

Accidents? There are small plane crashes mentioned in papers all the time.

There are millions of cars and the collisions are caused by the drivers’ inattention to rules, and that is no accident. Get it? Rules!

Maybe the “intellect” of some of the pilots who routinely place those on the ground in peril should be questioned?

Traffic patterns? Strictly followed . . . yeah, and a fat guy in a red suit, comes down my chimney!

Maybe their “intellect” should be questioned as to why some have illegal additions to their hangars, and the illegal bathrooms that lack health department approval? Considering you were the chief building inspector in the TOB your additions, stairs etc. did not have a building permit. I know you do not lease it anymore . . . My friend did the sheet-rocking.

The altitude I mentioned did not apply to take offs or landings, just touch and go’s! I am sure your “intellect” allows you to read and define what was mentioned – well. Maybe not.

Twenty-three people in the group – 19 students, plus counselors, plus a photographer from National Geographic – stayed in a 1000 square foot structure that was “not quite a hut, but not quite a house.”

The visitors labored about eight hours each day helping to build an addition to a primary school in the village. Some days they worked seven hours and spent another hour learning Swahili.

More fruit salad in mentioning my antique cars. Of course again maybe your “intellect” isn’t aware that the 110-horse power flathead engines operate more efficiently -- with dual exhausts, to lessen back pressure! They are not glass packs, as you mistakenly mention. At a thousand feet (pay attention to the distance) the same goes to altitude. They cannot even be heard. You should know, you have a vintage Ford and plane. Get a decibel meter and let’s compare your pane’s engine and my car.

Wanna bet which is louder? Your take off rpm vs. mine at the same rate? I dare you.

So, practice what you preach. It is hard to relax when inconsiderate pilots decide that they do not have to adhere to common sense. Listen to the complaints of the multitude of residents and stop the “three blind mice routine.” Keep mentioning “close the airport” and someone may take up that challenge and you will have no one to blame but yourselves for the constant absurd cries of “fire” in a crowded theater -- now that would define “stupid.”

I s t i l l l i ke yo u d e s p i te y o u r misinformation and ramblings. See you at the next car show, but your pilot friends do not allow you to say hello.

independent service project. Not that far from a city, they imagined getting wood for the project from a city lumberyard. “It was really funny. We thought we’d go to Home Depot. One day the school principal grabs five kids from the third grade and they come out with machetes in their hands.” The kids went to a nearby field, climbed trees and started chopping them down.

Kane wanted to make the goals because, he said, “The kids play soccer like it’s a religion there.”

Without the goals, they have to chase errant balls into bushes rife with poisonous leaves and huge thorns.

It really didn’t seem like the people lived in poverty to Kane.

“They were all so happy,” he noted. But a day spent living with one family was an eye opener.

Truly experiencing the primitive conditions “gave me a lot of perspective,” he said.

Kane specifically chose the Tanzania program because it concluded with a week’s safari.

That meant a night hearing lions growl and “scream” just outside their camp, plus making sure to lock up sunscreen and deodorant to keep hyenas away.

A trip to the Un’Goro Crater stood out among the month’s innumerable sights and experiences. Because it’s winter and dry season in Africa, animals migrating in search of water gather near the crater. “The wildlife was so vast, so concentrated,” Kane said. “The stars,” he continued, “were incredible. There’s no light pollution.”

Another day brought them to a Masai village, where Kane related, “The leader told us his father had 48 kids and eight wives.”

At 15, Kane isn’t certain what type of studies he wants to pursue in college or what career path he’d like to follow. But after his trip to Africa he is sure about one thing --- “I want to go back.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Continued from page 5. in, they bring you food.” In fact, Stoecker was invited to a wedding, the pageantry of which was “just crazy.”

Students had the chance to travel outside Kotri, to other cities where they checked out “hole in the wall restaurants.” The food was “just fantastic,” Stoecker said. His mother cooks Indian food and he’d had it in New York City, but there’s nothing like sampling the cuisine in its country of origin. “The spices are just unbelievable.”

Teaching the youngest children English was part of Stoecker’s service, so he spent afternoons showing picture books of animals to the kids and exchanging English and Hindi words for each creature.

The schools were so crowded, classes were often held outdoors in

temperatures that climbed past the 100-degree mark.

“It was unbelievably hot,” Stoecker said.“When the Americans made note of the heat, they were told, ‘This is nothing.’ It could get even hotter in the desert and cities.

So enamored of their visitors were the people, and especially children, of Kotri, they’d wait outside the travelers’ rooms just to greet them. “But they always confused ‘hi’ and ‘goodbye,’ so they’d wave ‘bye’ when they saw us.”

Members of Stoecker’s group, a dozen in all, came from homes scattered all around the country, plus Mexico City and Rome.

Describing himself as someone who likes to meet new people and try new things, Stoecker said he’s already started researching for a trip next summer to Morocco.

He’ll be 16 then.

At the new location, buncee’s current staff of eight will have space and resources to grow to the next level, including user training facilities, networking opportunities, and strategic planning support.

SoFo

Of Milkweeds and Monarchs

By Dave Taft

Ask anyone to name a familiar insect. Stack the deck a little by asking about one that migrates.

Invariably, someone will tell you about the Monarch Butterfly and its incredible journey to Mexico and back. Any grade-schooler can tell you about the insect’s brilliant warning colors, perhaps even its peculiar interest in milkweed. At nature centers, naturalists hang Monarch kites and posters on walls, lead Monarch walks, sell Monarch paraphernalia, some even tag the butterflies. The Monarch and its habits are a feel-good mantra for nature-lovers nationwide.

But no Monarch lives in a vacuum. The butterfly has a host of requirements for its survival.

Not the least of these, are the oftenoverlooked milkweeds that feed its young.

Milkweeds are herbaceous and perennial, that is, they are not woody and grow back from their rootstocks each year. In fall, the plants support erect seedpods; each packed to splitting with seeds and downy fuzz. These seeds and their silky parachutes have been the vehicle for idle “wishes” blown to the wind by countless generations of children.

Earlier in the summer, the flowers of milkweeds are a delight to the eye and even more delightful to the nose. In fact, to many, the scent of Swamp Milkweed is one of the most lovely in the flower kingdom.

Most of us have passed a milkweed; a few of us may even have taken a minute or two to check the plants for Monarch caterpillars.

Interestingly although the milkweed leaves are toxic to most insects, the Monarch Butterfly will lay its eggs only on the milkweed plant.

When the eggs hatch into caterpillars they will feed on the poisonous milkweed leaf without succumbing to the toxin. In fact the toxin is taken into the caterpillar’s system, and when the butterfly develops the toxic substance remains. The orange color of the Monarch is a warning sign to predators who have learned that Monarchs are poisonous to eat.

Many other species of butterflies find the milkweed plants attractive

but only use the flowers of the milkweed from which to obtain nectar.

T h e re a re f o ur s pec ies o f milkweed commonly found on the South Fork. The Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), Butterfly Weed (Asclepias

tuberosa) and Blunt Leaved Milkweed (Asclepias amplexicaules) can all be found in varying habitats throughout the area.

Both Common Milkweed and Butterfly Weed are found growing in sunny, dry fields. As the name implies, Swamp Milkweed grows best in wet fields and along the

August 14, 2013

edges of marshes. Blunt Leaved Milkweed grows in openings in dry woods.

Milkweed flowers are spectacular.

Both Common Milkweed and Swamp Milkweed are lovely shades of pink, Butterfly Weed sports flowers that are florescent orange, and Blunt Leaved Milkweed is purple. In all four species, dozens of complicated flowers seen to explode from the plants like tiny fireworks.

Next to orchids, the milkweed family has devised some of the most elaborate methods to ensure insect pollination. Each complex flower is composed for five cup-like structures that resemble a crown.

Insect feet that land on these structures invariably slip off the slick structures and land in a Continued on page 38.

narrow slit between the cups. This is no accident, since the milkweeds position their male and female organs within these slits. An insect strong enough to extract its foot from the slit removes two small sacks of pollen, called pollinia, which are firmly attached to the insect’s foot. Another slip of the foot is all that is necessary to deposit these pollinia into the female

part of another milkweed flower.

Pollination is accomplished; the plant is ready to produce seeds.

Sadly, insects too small to remove their feet from the slits pay dearly for their last sip of nectar. Looking at a milkweed flower head will occasionally reveal unfortunate imbibers, their feet still trapped between the flowers.

The next time you follow the carefree flight of a Monarch Butterfly, pay close attention to the plant it lands on. In many ways, milkweeds are common and easy to overlook, but to many naturalists they are significant plants worthy of appreciation.

Mashashimuet Park in all its splendor.

YMCA, Sag Harbor Park Join Forces The East Hampton YMCA and Sag Harbor’s Mashashimuet Park have agreed to join forces. The goal, said YMCA Program Director Kathy Fallon, is to better serve the public by offering more, and more diverse programs that will reach a wider audience.

The idea of an informal merger was the brainchild of Jean Irvine, the President of the Mashashimuet Park Board of Directors. “Jean said they wanted to promote some programs,” Fallon related. Karate, arts and crafts, and Yoga programs are just a few that she envisioned would be popular.

The first event, on August 23, will be a Zumba Dance Party from 6:30 to 8 PM, which will kick off the partnership. Tickets are available in advance for $20 at the YMCA and will be sold at the event for $25. It is open to people of all ages and is billed as a “feel it to the core” fitness party. “We want to do what the community wants,” Fallon said. That’s what the YMCA is all about. “We’re hoping the people will tell us.”

Mashashimuet Park is a huge expanse, encompassing a baseball field, a softball field, a basketball court, tennis courts, a grandstand, a children’s playground, swing sets, and acres upon acres of open space. “It’s such a beautiful place,” Fallon said. The main entrance is on the corner of Jermain Avenue and Main Street and there is plenty of parking on site.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard

Which Side of the Buoy Do I Go On?

One of the “great mysteries” of boating is, “Good Lord, which side of this buoy do I go on?” While conducting a safety patrol last summer for USCG Forces, our crew came upon a skipper, bringing a new boat down from Rhode Island, in Moriches Bay near the new buoy system south of Seatuck Cove. The skipper was concerned with his 4-foot draft and being able to make it to Massapequa in the Great South Bay from there. We advised him that, “Tide is near flood now so stay in the channel and be careful near Nun18. It has been moved to the north due to shoaling in the original channel. Forget

what your GPS says. Use your eyes.”

Naturally, he took the buoy on the wrong side and was grounded for a number of hours. So, let’s re-address this now and forever! Here we go . . .

Reality TV – You’ve Won! Imagine this. You are on one of those reality TV shows and you have won! In addition to the big job and the big bucks, the host throws in a beautiful penthouse apartment in a brand new 50-story condo overlooking the marina and harbor. You get so excited that you faint straight away. You wake up in

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

the elevator and you see the elevator numbers flashing by.

If the numbers were going up, would you be leaving the building or returning to your new home in the penthouse? If the numbers were going down, would you be returning to your new home in the penthouse or leaving to go to work? Clearly, if the numbers are going up, you are going up - returning home. If the numbers are going down, you are heading for the street level – leaving.

And the same is true of the buoyage system in the entire United States! While certain pearls of wisdom work in local waters (“keep the reds and the ocean on the same of your boat”), they don’t work everywhere and they also fail to educate you as a mariner as to “how the system works” and why.

Of course, many of us have heard and used the old saw of “red, right,

IN THE NEWS

return” – meaning when returning from sea/to your harbor/home, keep the red buoys on your right. But when you leave Seatuck Cove to starboard, you are entering Tuthill Cove almost immediately. Are you returning to Tuthill or leaving Seatuck? So, let’s extend the old saw and get it right forever more.

Red - Right, Return; Left, Leaving Keep the red buoys on your right when returning and on your left when leaving. If the numbers are going up, you are returning (to your penthouse in the sky!) If the numbers are going down, you are leaving (to that great job you just won!)

Be wary of one thing – “discontinuous numbers”, meaning big jumps between buoy numbers or the numbers starting to go the opposite way. This means you have entered a new seaway or road and you need to recalibrate the direction of the numbers. For example, if returning from sea via the Moriches Inlet and heading through the West Cut towards Forge River, you will see the following: you will pass red-4W (to starboard), red-6W (to starboard – see the #s are going up) and green-7W to port. Then you will see green-MOR-15. That is a big jump! If you were in the same channel, you should be seeing #8 or #9 – not #15!

N o w, w h i c h s i d e ? Q u i c k l y checking your chart, you will see that red-MOR-14 is about 1,000 yards ahead. The buoy numbers are now going down! You are in a new seaway that says, despite the fact that you are heading back to your slip up the Forge River, you are leaving as far as the buoyage system is concerned! Take green-MOR-15 to starboard so that you can take redMOR-14 to port (left leaving!). Never fails (in North America).

Want to know why our reds are on our right when returning from sea and not the other way around as in Europe? Well, when we were at war with the mightiest navy in the world 230+ years, the revolutionaries turned all the buoys around so that the English men-ofwar would run aground . . . and we just kept them that way ever since!

“Red - Right, Return; Left, Leaving.” If the numbers are going up, you are returning as far as the rules of the road are concerned – always.

BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go direct to the D1SR Human Resources department, who are in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing . . .”

FANTASY SP

By Skippy Brown

Time For Some Sleepers It’s time to start identifying legitimate sleepers – players who have a chance to put up big fantasy numbers when the season opens.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be players who emerge during the season as fantasy studs. A lot of times injuries open up opportunities, and relative unknowns step in and fill the void. The following players, we believe, are going to contribute right out of the gate.

To be a legit sleeper that player has to be a guy you can snare in the last few rounds of your draft, a guy who will outperform the players your opponents are picking in the same round.

Here are a few, in no particular order: Ryan Broyles, WR, Detroit: Broyles, ironically, cost me a RTS title last year when he got hurt in the first quarter of my playoff game.

But in the game before that Broyles, inserted into the starting line-up, went off to the tune of 13 receptions for 126 yards. With Calvin Johnson

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

RTS

drawing double coverage, Broyles figures to be open a lot this season – keep in mind, though, he is coming off knee surgery.

That said, most folks don’t seem to realize when Broyles attended Oklahoma he set an all-time NCAA mark for receptions and was voted all-American twice. He can catch the ball, and with QB Matt Stafford, who set an all-time record for pass attempts last season, throwing it, there will be plenty of opportunities ahead.

Daryl Richardson, Rams running back: With Steven Jackson gone, one would assume Richardson would get the bulk of the carries in St. Louis. But Isiah Pead is being drafted ahead of him. Why? Pead is more physically imposing, and he was a number 2 draft pick two seasons ago – he missed almost all of last season with injuries.

Yes, Pead will get the ball near the goal line and score more TDs, but it’s Richardson who is the better runner— and receiver. T. Louis will want a back that Sam Bradford can dump the ball off to – and that’s what Richardson

www.indyeastend.com

does best.

Shane Vereen, Patriots RB: Yes, Stevan Ridley is the starter, and yes, he’s a gifted running back. But Danny Woodhead is gone, and his 76 rushing attempts might well go to Vereen, who had 62 of his own. With Aaron Hernandez out on a murder charge – that’s even worse that a groin pull – and Ron Gronkowski injured, that’s a lot of receptions somebody else has to catch. Vereen has good hands, and like Woodhead he is shifty and quick. Most of all, though, there is a sense coach Bill Belechick doesn’t really like Ridley, who fumbles too much.

Speaking of Woodhead, he’s

August 14, 2013

47

in a perfect spot in San Diego.

The starting running back, Ryan Mathews, is constantly hurt.

Plus, Woodhead is a really good receiver, and OB Philip Rivers loves to dump the ball off to his receivers – remember Ladainian Tomlinson? Woodhead got 123 touches in New England last season and that number figures to go up considerably, especially since the Chargers will be playing from behind a lot, and will presumably pull Mathews for a guy who catches the ball better.

The waiver wires are open in most drafted leagues. Consider some of the above players if they are available.
