Pitting “Neighbor Against Neighbor”

By Kitty Merrill

David Harry bought a box truck to hold the tools he needs to do his job. He bought his truck for safety reasons. “It was very expensive and took me a long time to pay for it,” he said. He’s worked for the same employer for 16 years and is not running a business out of his small home. Still, the law designed to stem the tide of illegal businesses operating from residential properties in East Hampton, if adopted, would render parking his own truck at his own home illegal.

Harry’s voice broke as he attempted to comment during last Thursday night’s public hearing on a proposed zoning code change that could have a far-reaching negative effect on local tradesmen. As the speaker paused, too distraught to speak, a member of the standing room only audience intoned, “This is the effect this is having.”

When he couldn’t go on, Supervisor Larry Cantwell volunteered to read Harry’s comments for him.

In an effort to address a supposed plethora of illegal businesses operating out of properties zoned residential and in response to

If adopted as drafted, only two commercially registered pickup trucks could be parked at a home overnight. Pickups with modifications to add height to the sidewalls or with a bed wider

than the cab would be banned, as would any commercial vehicles that weigh more than 12,000 pounds. No box trucks would be allowed, no covered trailers would be permitted, and open trailers must meet size requirements. The proposal also prohibits the storage of “any materials” used in connection with a commercial operation that takes place off the site where the materials are stored.

A box of screws could be construed as prohibited “materials,” Zach Cohen pointed out. He opposes the current iteration of the law because of its vagueness. “You don’t want grey areas with something like this,” he advised.

What supporters want is peace and quiet in their residential neighborhoods. A half dozen Springs residents detailed how the quality of their lives and bucolic nature of their neighborhoods have been negatively impacted by the intrusion of full scale businesses setting up on residential lots.

One woman reported that a car wash and car detailing business located next door to her Springs house results in “ear splitting noise” all day long. Adam Osterweil told of his travail when a full-fledged construction company moved in next to his home. It was, he said, “an absolute nightmare.”

Code enforcers investigated the neighbor for running a business on residential property and it took two years to bring the case to a conclusion.

Existing laws that prohibit operating a business on residential property or keeping big rigs parked there were cited by opponents several times. ‘Why not enforce the

existing laws?’ was a question asked repeatedly.

Where will all the displaced trucks go, was another frequently asked question. To create such a law without offering an option is unfair, some speakers said. It was suggested the town offer land at the airport or landfill for truck parking.

Would such a place be safe? Pat Brabant reported that when he parked his truck in a separate lot, he ended up having $24,000 worth of tools stolen. Another speaker, James Schoenster, noted that he gets emergency calls in the middle of the night. Should someone whose heat’s out have to wait for him to drive to the airport and back for relief? “The kind of truck I need to do the job you need me to do is not going to pass [the new restrictions],” he said.

For several years, David Buda, a self-appointed neighborhood investigator, has been touring “The” Springs and taking pictures of homes with alleged code violations.

He’s appeared at nearly every town board meeting for the last several years to speak about alleged violations and other topics. Every day for two weeks in advance of last week’s hearings he circulated pictures of trucks parked at private dwellings to town officials and the media.

Local attorney Tina Piette finds the idea that someone takes photographs of private properties and displays them publicly “offensive.” The underlying issue is one of neighbor vs. neighbor, she said. Like several others, she called upon town officials to enforce its Continued on Page 27.

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

EXCLUSIVE: JERRY DELLA FEMINA INTERVIEWS JERRY DELLA FEMINA Yesterday, Tuesday, July 22, was my birthday and, in my honor, I’ve decided to once again interview myself.

JERRY THE REPORTER: How old are you?

JERRY THE BIRTHDAY BOY: None of your damn business. Let me just say that I’m so, so old that when I have sexual fantasies about women in their 50s, I feel like a pedophile.

I do know this: I refuse to die in the next two years. I owe my staying alive to Barack Obama.

JERRY THE REPORTER: Barack Obama?

JERRY THE BIRTHDAY BOY: Yes, Barack Obama. I refuse to die while he’s still president. I feel like I would be abandoning my family and friends.

I can just hear my great-grandkids asking my grandkids, “Is it true that Papa Jerry died during the Obama administration?”

“Yes, he was such a cop-out. He croaked at a time when Obama was president and New York had

the worst mayor in its history. The whole family was ashamed of him.”

I can’t have this, so I will wait to die until Christie or Jeb Bush or Hillary brings our great country back to world leadership and respect.

I also will stay alive until someone (anyone!) takes take over as Mayor of New York and replaces that commie, pinko, bed-wetting freak Bill de Blasio.

JERRY THE REPORTER: You always seem to be mad at someone. Who are you mad at now?

JERRY THE BIRTHDAY BOY: I’m really pissed at the media for their twisted coverage of the Israeli/ Hamas war.

When I was a kid I would pick on my little brother. Once, when my mother came into the room to see why he was crying, I tried to get out of trouble by saying, “Mom, he hit me second so I hit him first.”

This is what is happening with the media blaming Israel for what Hamas has started and is continuing to do.

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

The media and Obama are telling Israel to stop the fighting.

Why hasn’t Obama and the media reached out to the Hamas leadership and asked them to stop lobbing shells into Israel? Egypt tried to get the violence to stop and Hamas rejected them.

Does the media really think that the 2000 rockets and mortars that have been fired from Gaza into Israel were not meant to kill Israeli children? Is it Israel’s fault that Hamas can’t hit the side of a barn and Israel has the technology to shield their people?

It’s so sad to see children in Gaza who have been used by Hamas as human shields dying and suffering. But Hamas is turning down all pleas for peace and, sadly, the only coverage we see on NBC, CNN and all the other networks is footage of pain and suffering from hospitals in Gaza.This quote sums it up for me: “We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children.

“We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”

-Golda Meir, Former Prime Minister of Israel JERRY THE REPORTER: What bothers you most about being old and decrepit?

JERRY THE BIRTHDAY BOY: I hate that I’ve reached the age where people come up to me and say, “You’re looking very good” or “You haven’t changed a bit” or “You look wonderful, darling.” That means I’m tragically old, because no one ever says that lying stuff to a 25-year-old or a 50-year-old.

IN THE NEWS

JERRY THE REPORTER: Any advice for young people?

JERRY THE BIRTHDAY BOY: Yes. It’s the same advice I give on my birthday every year. This is for those of you who are in your 20s — it’s never too soon to start lying about your age. The day will come when people will start using your age against you. This will affect jobs, promotions, romance, etc., etc.

So if you’re 30, slice off 10 years right this minute. Tell people you’re 20. Okay, you’ll get a lot of dirty looks at first, and people will mutter behind your back, but when you’re 40, people will start talking about what a mature-looking 30-year-old you are. And trust me, it’s a lot better to have people thinking you’re a decrepit 50-yearold than a good-looking 60-year-old.

JERRY THE REPORTER: Have you made any plans for when you pass on?

JERRY THE BIRTHDAY BOY: Yes, I’ve made plans for my funeral. I want the service to start by my recorded voice announcing that everyone should turn ON their cell phones. I hate that “Turn off your cell phones” crap. Plus, everyone will be encouraged to take their calls at their seats. You know, to say in a loud voice, “Yes, I’m at Jerry Della Femina’s funeral.

I’m disappointed. There’s a bigger crowd here than he deserved.”

Also, I’ve instructed my family that no matter what he charges, they must hire Al Sharpton to deliver my eulogy and say wonderful things about me at my funeral. I just want to leave all those whom I love laughing.

Tweaking The Formula For Chain Store Regs

By Kitty Merrill

“Unintended consequences” was the theme last Thursday night as the East Hampton Town Board hosted hearings about two particularly prickly issues – new regulations restricting chain stores and a zoning code amendment banning certain trucks from residential properties.

(See elsewhere in this edition for coverage of the proposed truck ban.)

The new law targeting chain or “formula” stores was revised from an earlier version that prohibited chains from within a certain distance of historic structures or districts, effectively banning them in Amagansett where a 7-Eleven was planned. The prohibition was lifted

and restrictions related to store size and permitted zoning districts were also relaxed.

Maintaining East Hampton’s rural character and avoiding the urban visual impact of chain stores are goals of the legislation.

Susan Borgida and her husband own UPS stores in East Hampton and Sag Harbor. She displayed photos of her Newtown Lane storefront, demonstrating its compatibility with the surrounding area. Not all chain stores are bad, she said, but the law lumps a lot of businesses in together. Borgida gathered several hundred names on a petition, the vast majority of signers feel the UPS store should not be included in the

“A GREENER SOUTHAMPTON”

Did you know.... Water Quality: Using natural planted buffers helps filter stormwater.

Waste Management: Reducing, Recycling and Reusing means less waste in landfills. The Town is offering additional opportunities to dispose of hazardous household waste (S.T.O.P. days) for residents in the Town of Southampton. Cleaner Environment: Integrated Pest Management reduces the amount of pesticides needed to control pests. Example: Purple Martins are beautiful song birds that also eat mosquitoes.

East Hampton Business Alliance described the new law. If the Ben & Jerry’s store wanted to become a Baskin Robbins, it would have to go through a special permit process, a traffic study and a public hearing, she informed, asking “Why?” If a Cole Haan shoe store wanted to move into the space currently occupied by the Bass outlet? Same deal. Aboff’s Paints, Ace Hardware and the AT&T store would also be captured by the law.

Turner said the Business Alliance understands the desire to exclude some chains, but there are “many, many” formula stores that fill a need in the community . . . which brought Turner to the business needs study.

Adopted in 2005, the town’s comprehensive plan called for a business needs study. None has ever been completed, or begun. Turner has called for the study repeatedly.

Laurie Wiltshire, a local professional planning, likened enacting the formula store legislation before completing such a study to “putting the cart before the horse.” The Comp Plan also recommended a study of townwide pre-existing non- conforming uses.

The formula store legislation would create more pre-existing nonconforming businesses, Wiltshire believes.

Word that a 7-Eleven might take over a vacant building in Amagansett prompted the legislation. “Make it look nice,” Wiltshire said. The town’s Architecture Review Board has the power to ensure the building is compatible with its surroundings.

If the law is passed, Wiltshire predicted it could mean bankruptcy for owners of commercial properties.

Potential tenants would walk rather than incur the expense of a lengthy planning review.

Phillip Young, owner of the Wainscott Village Shopping Center also opposes the proposal. He believes a portion of the law that Continued On Page 23.

Southampton Honors Green Businesses

By Emily Toy

Southampton Town Councilwoman Christine Scalera highlighted two local businesses recently that are both environmentally conscious, respecting her “A Greener Southampton” initiative.

New World Home and New World Barn, two synergistic sister companies located at 116 North Sea Road, specialize in building and reclaiming, repurposing, and recycling authentic barn frames, beams and materials, according to a press release from the town. On July 11 the North Sea locales were the first recipients of “A Greener Southampton-Green Business Spotlight” award.

“We combine inspired design with best in class products from around the world to produce some of the highest quality, best performing homes in the country that foster a durable, safe and healthy environment for generations of families,” said Tyler Schmetterer, founder of New World Home.

“We’ve also created a platform for

preserving vintage barn frames and antique building materials that contribute enormous eco-design value and unique aesthetic to a wide range of Hamptons-based product,” said Bradford Goven, founder of New World Barn.

New World Home is an awardwinning producer of sustainable housing, geared to fulfill the convergence of historically inspired design and state-of-theart green products with advanced building science and super efficient manufacturing methodologies.

New World Barn is in the business of reclaiming, repurposing and recycling authentic barn frames, beams and materials, including oldgrowth hardwood flooring.

Businesses that would like to be considered for “A Greener Southampton- Green Business Spotlight” need to meet at least one of six criteria. That criteria i n c l u d e s e n e r g y e f f i c i e n c y, waste reduction/recycling, water conservation, pollution prevention, green building, and transportation/

commuting. “A Green Business Spotlight” will be chosen by a special committee on a quarterly basis to start and will be featured on the “A Greener Southampton” website, as well as the Hamptons Visitors Council website.

Scalera noted how “A Greener Southampton’s” first initiative was the reusable bag program

that’s been “a remarkable success and now we have added a ‘Green Business Spotlight’ so that we can showcase our local businesses that are supporting Southampton’s environmental efforts.”

LVIS Fair Day Coming

By Kitty Merrill

The Ladies Village Improvement Society has been keeping East Hampton beautiful since 1895.

Since 1896, it’s been keeping adults and kids alike entertained with its annual summer fair. This year the fair will be held on Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM on the LVIS grounds on Main Street in East Hampton Village.

According to the LVIS website, the first fair was held at Clinton Hall (now Clinton Academy) and raised $565.49. Patrons purchased lemonade, ice cream, cakes, flowers and “useful household articles plus fancy work.” In 1907 the first LVIS cookbooks were the big moneymakers. In 1912 the fair was held at The Creeks on Georgica Pond before moving to the Village Green in 1914.

The fair moved to Mulford Farm in 1949. The large barn there allowed for the addition of art and crafts made by local artisans. It settled at its current home, the lawn of the Gardiner Brown House on Main Street, aka LVIS headquarters in 1990.

In addition to striving to keep East Hampton beautiful, the LVIS awards annual scholarships to local students. This year over $110,000 was awarded to 18 college-bound kids.

Speaking of kids, the fair this year promises more fun for children including a carousel, petting zoo, pony rides, a magic show, toy sale and food treats.

For grownups, there’s a vintage tent, chic fashions, beautiful plants and raffles. Unique art and crafts and jewelry plus the classic LVIS stores – Bargain Box and Bargain Books -- will be available for discerning shoppers who can also enjoy local gourmet food all day long.

From 4 to 7 PM, LVIS teams up with the Lions Club to host a barbecue that features take out items and a clam bar. Job Potter and Friends will provide the live music.

Among the fair’s most exciting attributes is the online auction of one of a kind experiences and items.

Up until 6 PM on Friday, shoppers can view an array of offerings on the LVIS silent auction website, click and bid and check their status

Dear Edwina is a heartwarming show about the joys of growing up. The show’s heroine, Edwina Spoonapple, is a young “advice giver extraordinaire,” a spunky, singing version of Dear Abby for the younger set. Edwina and her friends put on a show in her garage every week, sharing their lessons through clever, catchy, and often poignant songs and dances. It’s like “Glee” for kids, but adults will love it just as much as the children they bring.

Dear Edwina features music by Zina Goldrich and book and lyrics by Marcy Heisler. Both were nominated for Drama Desk Awards for their work. This production is directed and choreographed by Helene Leonard, and features the actors from the Stages Summer Musical Theater Camp, now in its 20th year.

The Zombies: A Long Odyssey Continues

By Rick Murphy

kept calling me up to tell me how good the album was,” Argent recalled about another band mate. “Chris kept telling me we were developing a cult following.”

White was right. In the absence of the electric wall of noise that ruled the day the Zombies substituted gorgeous and inventive harmonies, surprising jazz-fused chord changes, and sophisticated lyrics and melodies.

Still, the album seemed destined for the cut-out bin.

Enter Al Kooper, a co-founder of Blood Sweat and Tears, who went on a scouting expedition for Epic Records looking for some English albums the label could publish in the United States.

“He brought back hundreds of albums but Odessey stood out,” Argent said. With Kooper’s urging Epic released not one but two cuts from the album, and both tanked.

Still, Kooper persisted. A third single seemed doomed to follow its predecessors as well.

“It was the last gasp,” Argent recalled. “The funny thing is when I wrote it I said to Chris [White], `This could be a hit.’” In fact, “Time Of The Season” was the last song on the album, hastily produced with the band performing it live in the

studio and the first take making it to the vinyl.

“One disc jockey in Boise, Idaho started playing it and it was kind of a like a big pond. The ripples spread.”

Indeed. “Time of the Season” hit Number One on the Cashbox charts and became an international hit.

Album sales began climbing, every year outselling the previous – it was a phenomenon never seen before in the record business.

The Rolling Stone ranking Number 100 on its list of 500 best albums, validated the band’s belief that Odessey was a special album, even if it took 20 years, and vindicated Kooper, its biggest booster.

“It’s a wonderful bonus,” Argent said.

Odessey is still selling. “As of now, it’s the fourth best-selling album of all time in England, ahead of [dozens of] albums by the Stones and Beatles,” Argent said.

Argent scored a huge hit with “Hold Your Head Up” and his band toured extensively. But the itch remained – the Zombies never got a chance to play their masterpiece in front of live audiences.

The Zombies have released a new album, Breathe In, Breathe Out, and are hitting the road again,

Odessey And Oracle (yes, it’s misspelled) is probably the only album on Rolling Stone’s list of Greatest Albums Of All Time that seemed doomed to complete obscurity.

The Zombies 1968 masterpiece, released during the height of the psychedelic era, was completely ignored while albums by the likes of The Rolling Stones, Beatles, and Jimi Hendrix sold millions.

“The album died a quick death. The critics loved it but nobody was playing it,” recalled Rod Argent, the band’s keyboard player, who also performs vocals and wrote many of the songs.

The lack of enthusiasm for the record probably had something to do with the era — there was no distorted wah-wah guitar breaks, no supercharged, electrified American Blues chords, and no growling lyrics about revolution and getting high.

For school chums Argent and vocalist Colin Blunstone, it was time to move on after working together for six years. Argent went on to form his own eponymously-named power group, and helped produce a wellreceived solo album by Blunstone.

But there was the itch that wouldn’t go away. “Chris White

performing not only the new songs but selections from Odessey as well as hit records like “She’s Not There” and “Tell Her No.” “We wouldn’t do it if we were in it for the money,” Argent said. “It’s a very expensive operation.”

Besides, the band isn’t hurting for money. “We had very honest managers. We made money and we continue to make money.”

“We’re touring for one reason — it’s a privilege. The feeling onstage is identical to what we felt when we were 18. We have as much energy now — it’s either use it or lose it.”

The Buzz Around Town

By Frank Quevedo

What’s the buzz around town these days? It’s hummingbirds visiting East End backyards. Some of us are very fortunate to have returning hummingbirds visit our homes each year as they raise young or pass through during migration to feed on nectar plants and feeders.

Out of the 300 different kinds of hummingbirds found mostly from Central and South America, the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird is the only species of hummingbird that enters the eastern two-thirds of the United States and is the species we have here on Long Island.

In some years we get the Rufous Hummingbird visiting in the fall on its way south, but that’s a rare occurrence and I hope someday one will visit my feeder.

Most hummingbirds that enter the United States are found in the Western parts of the country, such as Southeastern Arizona where the greatest variety can be found.

The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird is a tiny spirit-like bird. Scarcely larger than a good-sized insect, it is white below and burnished, sparkling green on the back. The adult male has a gorgeous fiery throat, which, when the sun strikes it, flashes back a deep, glowing orange or red. The female also has an olive-green back but lacks the red throat.

The hummingbird moves its wings with such extraordinary rapidity, it creates a “buzzing” sound like a bee. When hovering, the hummingbird’s wings can beat at the rate of 55 times a second but can increase to 75 times per second when flying forward at full speed.

Its buzzing wings hold it steady in the air where it can reach deep into a flower with its long bill and suck up nectar. As it feeds, it darts skillfully from one blossom to another -- an inch away, six feet away -- pausing exactly in front of each one, probing each blossom with its beak, starting and stopping with a jerk motion, turning at any angle with a sudden twist; or it may shoot away at full speed. The hummingbird boasts a remarkable power and “unbirdlike” acting more like an overgrown bee.

To attract hummingbirds to your backyard, a liquid solution of one part granular sugar and four parts

water is recommended. Make sure you boil the water first and then add sugar for dissolving efficiency.

After mixing, let the solution cool and then add to feeder. The feeder should be checked several times a

www.indyeastend.com

week and cleaned once a week to prevent mold and bacteria from forming. Another way of attracting hummingbirds is planting native wildflowers that produce orange or red flowers in your yard. We recommend that you visit your local garden center or stop by the museum for more information on planting local perennials as opposed to non-native plants. This option is best for long-term success and is ecologically friendly.

Chain Stores Continued from page 12.

prohibits more than one formula store per lot is “illegal and wrong.”

If his shopping center with six or seven buildings already has one formula store, he’s automatically precluded from renting to a second.

Stan Redlus spoke of the cost of starting a retail business. Formula or chain stores work because owners can endure the years it takes to turn a profit. Redlus feels it’s unfair to place the restriction on landlords. Joel Kay asked the board to reconsider the kinds of hurdles it’s putting in place for business owners.

Job Potter was the first speaker to voice support for the legislation last Thursday night. He believes the incursion of chain stores has led to a great loss of local character and opportunities for small local businesses.

Bonnie Krupinski described Potter’s view as “Utopian.” Times have changed and retail is very different from what it was 20 or 30 years ago when Mom & Pop stores flourished on Main Street.

Krupinski, too, called for a business needs study. To make decisions without looking at the entire issue is a disservice, she said. Aesthetic

issues can be handled through the ARB, she said, adding, “This is overkill.”

Tina Piette agreed. She offered a petition signed by 90 “people we all know,” and noted there was “not one” owner of a Mom & Pop store speaking in favor of the legislation.

Jeanne Frankl and Rona Klopman spoke of the loss of local character that has occurred in East Hampton Village, where high end formula stores have taken the place of smaller operations. “Nobody wants to be there,” Klopman said. Allowing formula stores to come in without “some kind of control” would be a mistake, Katy Casey opined.

Elaine Jones theorized that smaller, locally-owned stores went out of business when the formula stores came in. “It’s all about money,” she said. When there is a community need, local businesses donate while formula stores and corporations do not, she said.

Krupinski named Ralph Lauren as a corporate store that has been a “big benefactor” in East Hampton.

She and her husband have also never shirked the chance to donate to local causes.

Overall, said Krupinski to the board, “You’re trying to do too much too quickly . . . Retail has changed and we’re living in a very different world.”

RICK’S SPACE Class Acts which usually meant 10 bucks for a “double� counting tips. The members, unerringly polite, would invite us down to the halfway house after the ninth hole, a makeshift shed stocked with cold drinks, liquor, and munchies. After carrying two bags that weighed upwards of 50 pounds each for an hour and a half, believe me, the cold soda came in handy.

I was more than a little naĂŻve, but being from Brooklyn I already had a cynical side. Still, the members seemed to be awfully nice, down to Earth folks.

The nine-hole (“short course�) only paid $2.75 but wouldn’t take more than 40 minutes, especially if a member went out alone for a little practice. I used to “get� Dina Merrill a lot because I was a scrawny kid and the caddie master, Big Eddie, tried to avoid giving me double “Kangaroo� bags.

Merrill was an aristocratically

Joe Kazickas was one of the fine fellows I caddied for at Maidstone Golf Club when I was young. Like almost all the members, he was charming, polite and down to Earth and he loved the camaraderie on the golf course.

The few things written about Maidstone have focused on how difficult it was (and is) to become a member and how the membership committee shunned minorities. It was even said President Clinton was denied an opportunity to play when he visited here during his term in office.

I can’t speak to that—hell, I was only 15 -- but I can say the people I met represented the old guard in all its glory, the “summer colony� of East Hamptonites who spent maybe eight weeks in their summer “cottages� but kept the economy humming.

We used to get $4 a bag for the 18-hole loop (dubbed “long course�),

bred, beautiful woman, a Hutton who was the only child of Marjorie Merriweather Post.

She was as sweet as could be. Like a lot of the members, she seemed to truly care about the caddies and our lives, asking questions about our families and what we studied in school.

She was married to Stanley Rumbough Jr. but I eventually figured out she was strongly attracted to Cliff Robertson, the dashing, handsome actor who was also an absolute prince to be around.

I don’t know if they “asked� for me or not but I got the Merrill/ Robertson long course loop on several occasions, so I was one of the first to know their romance wa s indeed blo s s o ming; s he divorced Rumbough soon after and married Robertson -- not that anything untoward went on at the golf course, mind you. There was nothing tawdry about it: people like Dina Merrill demand a certain respect not because of the power she wielded but because of her sweet countenance and innate charm. The same went for Robertson.

There was a caddie shack in the back of the parking lot where we hung out on slow days or when it was raining. We would pitch quarters and play cards. I did pretty well for myself, well enough to go home with some money in my pocket without having to carry any bags on a lot of days.

The members would invariably pick us up as we hitched a ride and many, many times I was driven

That’s not to say there aren’t plenty of nice, kind people among the Nouveau Riche, it’s just that their way is to blend in, not stick out.

Joe Kazickas passed last week.

It turned out he was a resistance fighter in Lithuania during WWII. In retrospect you could see he had that iron-willed resolve in him.

Robertson died in 2011 — I almost had a chance to work with him on his autobiography (not that he remembered me) but it didn’t pan out.

I haven’t heard much about Merrill, who is 90, but she was never one to live her life in the tabloids, though, of course, she handled the limelight graciously.

Want to know what’s wrong with the Hamptons? The mindset that no house costs too much to buy, even if the goal is to tear it down. It’s the garish, pushy people with the “I’ve Got It And You Don’t� attitude.

They’ll always want more, more, more.

They think they are the upper class, and that’s really funny and really sad. There are some things money can’t buy.

All The Buzz

Dear Rick, What is all this buzz about the Republican war on women? Is it just a political stunt to gain the female vote? Just recently there was the, “Not My Boss’ Business Act” put forth in the Senate attempting to hold a vote on nullifying the Supreme Court’s majority decision in favor of Hobby Lobby to decide on No-Choice as opposed to ProChoice concerning a woman’s right to make

EDITORIAL

Every community needs affordable housing. The problem is, residents don’t want it in their immediate neighborhoods, as was aptly illustrated by the Sandy Hollow project in Southampton.

Tuckahoe residents opposed to the Sandy Hollow project gathered over 800 signatures on a petition and vowed to mount a legal challenge should the town board vote to approve the project, unanimously.

Police officers were on hand to quell possible demonstrations. That’s hardly the way a Democracy should be run, but it illustrates how high passions are on the subject.

Another truism is affordable housing never ends up where the well-to-do live.

Last week the East Hampton Town Board heard a proposal that would bring 48 units to Wainscott. The first sound of dissent was heard from the Wainscott School District, where the school board president noted the tiny schoolhouse, built for 20 students, couldn’t possibly handle two-dozen more.

Proponents of the plan noted many of the children who would relocate to the Wainscott apartments likely are already here, perhaps living in illegal apartments in Springs.

Springs residents are being choked to death by ever increasing school taxes.

Wainscott, on the other hand, has a robust tax base, one of the best in the entire state. Put another way, owners of multi-million dollar homes in Wainscott pay the same or less in taxes than the owners of modest homes in Springs worth a fraction as much. A school district has a legal obligation to educate every child that lives in the district.

If more children come to Wainscott residents are fortunate they can accommodate them without straining their pocketbooks.

Let’s be clear – Wainscott can easily afford to build a new building to house more students, and the school taxes will still be 10 times lower than they are in Springs. If opposition does indeed intensify in Wainscott, it will be because residents don’t want the children from these apartments in their school – money is not a consideration

decisions concerning her own body.

The majority Supreme Court decision was made by five Conservative Catholic men and the dissenting votes on women’s rights by three woman and one man; three Jews and one Catholic. Hardly shocking.

The Senate vote was equally predictable.

Fifty percent of the Republican female Senators (both of them) voted against Hobby Lobby, they were Susan Collins (R) ME and Lisa Murkowski (R) AK. The other 50 percent of the female Republicans (the other two) who voted against their responsibility over their own bodies were Deb Fischer (R) NEB and Kelly Ayotte (R) NH. All 43 of the Republican male Senators

and shouldn’t be used as one.

Windmill Housing Development, which will oversee the project, was represented by board chairman Michael DeSario, who touted his group’s previous accomplishments.

No one mentioned a pending lawsuit that targets Windmill, DeSario, and the town, filed by elderly residents of Windmill II who claim they are getting sick from a festering mold issue that has been a recurring problem.

A group of these seniors went to a town board meeting armed with letters from their physicians documenting what they said were mold-related illnesses. They were given the brush off.

Facing a lawsuit and ample evidence that the buildings are saturated with mold hardly inspires a new proposed project spearheaded by the same outfit. There used to be a town Housing Authority, but Windmill seems to have usurped its role – with tacit approval of the town board.

The board was told funding was in place primarily through tax credits. Frankly, we doubt most of the board members know exactly how tax credits work. Certainly no one asked who is putting up the money and who will be responsible for selling the credits. More important is who will the developer be – will this go out to bid with the town board overseeing the process every step of the way? Make no mistake about it – some insiders make a lot of money on these deals.

The town’s housing office is supposed to oversee these things, but Tom Ruhle, it’s director, works closely with the Windmill board – too closely, in our view.

Ruhle is also being sued, and recently engineered a procedure to strip a tenant of her federal rent subsidy because she was getting sick from living in her apartment and temporarily relocated on the advice of doctors. That tenant just happened to be the leader of the tenants group that filed the lawsuit. Once again town board members sat back and let it happen.

Our elected officials are supposed to be acting in the best interests of taxpayers.

That means finding out the facts about $15 million projects that impact the community.

We’re urging board members to do their homework on this one – they might be deposed to testify about certain aspects of it some day. voted against women’s rights with the exception of Mark Kirk R (IL). I hope these man’s-men don’t ostracize him as a girly boy. Maybe he even hates war. Oh my.

As expected all 16 Democratic female Senators together with all 37 male Senators voted in favor of the women. [Brian Schatz D (HI) did not vote.]

What is all this buzz about the Republican war on women?!!!

Choose whichever you like, but the fake “humanitarian crisis” orchestrated

by Team Obama has now entered the realm of the absurd.

For years, Mr. Obama promised his narrow special-interest groups that he’d deliver amnesty for every illegal immigrant living here, or even thinking about sneaking in.

The problem for Mr. Obama: the vast majority of American citizens still believe in the Rule of Law. We reject Mob Rule, and we reject amnesty legislation disguised as Continued on Page 26.

“Immigration Reform.”

To punish Congress for not passing sweeping Amnesty legislation, our President has halted enforcement of virtually all Federal immigration laws.

Obama’s non-enforcement and endless talk of Amnesty has triggered the so-called “humanitarian crisis,” a tsunami of illegals streaming across our wide-open Southern border.

It is unimaginable, but federal agents sworn to protect us from criminal aliens, foreign terrorists and communicable disease have been directed by Mr. Obama to help human traffickers. Border Patrol facilities have been turned into welcome centers for waves of unscreened illegal aliens including many with communicable disease and gang associations.

It is incredible, but newly arrived illegals are briefly detained, then quickly dispersed all over the country.

To manipulate public opinion and promote Amnesty, Team Obama wants you to believe that thousands of illegal immigrant children are walking hundreds of miles across the desert, all alone, in their diapers.

Reality Check: A leaked ICE memo reveals that half of Obama’s newly arrived illegals are adults, and all of them should be placed into deportation proceedings, not resettled.

To manipulate Congress, Team Obama wants nearly $4 billion in new emergency spending to “solve” the Administration’s fake “crisis.”

Reality Check: Half the money is for resettlement, not enforcement.

The “enforcement” budget is not for removal, but for temporary detention and transportation. Worse, Obama wants $15 million of taxpayer money to hire an army of private lawyers who will prevent deportations in removal proceedings.

Mr. Obama’s extreme immigration policies -- some published, most secret -- are vindictive, unlawful, politically calculated, dangerous and certainly rise to the level of an impeachable offense.

As an informed citizen, what can you do right now?

While Mr. Obama won’t face the voters again, our Congressman, Governor, County Executive and Supervisor all probably are.

These elected officials won’t bother to ask you, so call them today. Tell them you do not want any of Obama’s unscreened illegal aliens dumped into your community.

How’s your summer going so far?

Cali Papadopoulos It’s going great. I’m a counselor in training at a camp in Montauk so I get to play with little kids. They’re so much fun. We go to the pool or a beach that’s on a lake. We go paddle boarding and the CIT’s go sailing. I’d like to be a full counselor there in the future.

Alexander Schlegel It’s going great. I’m a beach attendant and it’s a great job. I clean up and keep things straightened up. And I get to spend the whole day chilling at the beach. It’s a great way to spend the summer. You can’t beat it.

Zack Bogetti The surf’s been the best part so far. Good to surf in. Good to swim in, too. When there are waves I go surfing for four or five hours a day.

This year’s surfing has been better than last year. Just a few weeks ago Hurricane Arthur brought in some good waves.

Ethan Sims It’s going pretty good. We’ve had some fun times. But it got hot and humid for a few days and lately it hasn’t been that hot. It’s almost not like summer. So I haven’t been to the beach that much. But I’ve spent a lot of time by the pool.

Insight By Ed Gifford

Independent / Kitty Merrill

There was a standing room only crowd in town hall last Thursday night. Many of those present came out to discuss East Hampton’s proposed truck prohibition.

Trucks

Continued from page 4. existing commercial activity law.

Although those with complaints about trucks have appeared in town hall sporadically over the last several years, last week was the first time an array of opponents spoke out.

Some saw it as a case of a new segment of the Springs population versus locals and the hamlet’s traditional way of life. Many of the opponents were tradesmen who have kept their trucks at their homes for decades and even generations, while most of the supporters are relative newcomers to the area.

“You are outlawing the Bub truck,” said Brabant, using the nickname for locals. Referring to the support for family run stores mentioned during an earlier hearing on formula stores, he said, “I’m a Mom & Pop.” (See coverage of that hearing elsewhere in this edition.)

For over 28 years Ann Glennon’s family has parked their work trucks on their property. She’s never had a complaint from neighbors and feels “This is going to hurt small people like us . . . it’s devastating.”

Justin Leland, a life long resident of Springs said the law will place a great strain on the small, sole proprietors “that this town was built on.”

Veteran campaign strategist Lona Rubenstein also spoke of the working people who are the backbone of the town. She recalled that when she ran a campaign for one time councilwoman Deb Foster, her logo was a pickup truck.

People who are complaining about living near “working yards,” should get together and start a fund “to pay these people’s taxes and buy their groceries,” Stuart Vorpahl declared, referring to the tradesmen present and those who will be hurt by the new law. He said it’s a “myth” that having trucks parked in a yard

diminishes property values.

Tom Knobel opined that in an effort to regulate activities that are disruptive to neighbors, “You will inflict an enormous financial impact on a ton of people.”

Harry said he’s been sick ever since he read about the proposal. He felt it was unfair to hold the hearing on a weeknight in the middle of the summer when so many people who will be hurt are too busy working to attend.

Board members agreed to hold the hearing open for written comment until the next regular meeting.

PETS

Max is a young poodle mix looking for his furever home. Max has not had an easy start in life so RSVP Inc. Animal Welfare and Rescue gave him a new one. He is currently with a wonderful foster family and looking forward to a permanent home in the very near future. Max has come a long way with love, training and lots of TLC. Max loves attention from people he trusts.

Once he forms a bond with you, he will be your best buddy. Max needs a patient dog savvy owner, willing to give him the same attention and commitment his foster family has given him. He would probably thrive in an adult home with no other fur siblings to share but could possibly be placed in a home that helps him adjust to other animals over time.

RSVP Inc. is willing to provide training and guidance with the transition into his new home.

For more information please call 631-533-2738 or fill out an application online! at www.rsvpinc.org! .R.S.V.P. (631) 728-3524.

Chuck Scarborough Promotes Animal Rescue

By Jessica Mackin & Kitty Merrill

Gimme Shelter Animal Rescue will host its third annual summer benefit on Saturday from 5 to 8 PM at the home of Ellen and Chuck Scarborough, Emmy Award-winning NBC anchor and correspondent.

The event raises money for the rescue’s efforts to save dogs from kill shelters across the country, spay/ neuter the dogs, pay for all necessary medical care and find them loving forever homes.

Scarborough, animal lover and adopter of two Gimme Shelter dogs, will act as master of ceremonies and will be joined by guest speaker and Emmy Award-winning comedy writer Bill Persky (“Dick Van Dyke Show”).

“Saving one dog won’t change the world . . . but surely the world will change for that one dog.” That’s the tag line on the Gimme Shelter website. At GSAR, they believe every

dog, regardless of breed, age, or handicap, is worth saving. Experts use a unique assessment technique to pair dogs with foster parents to find the best possible home for each rescue. “We pride ourselves on matching each one of our animals with their ideal forever family,” GSAR’s website informs.

GSAR’s mission is to rescue animals that are destined for euthanasia in high kill facilities across the country. “Our goal is to ensure the overall health of every single dog we rescue and make sure they live happy lives with families who love and cherish them,” the organization’s mission statement notes.

Ever y rescue receives full medical treatment and is also spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption.

Then, through their successful

adoption program, GSAR staff works to place each animal in a loving forever home. As part of a broader solution, GSAR hopes to raise funds to launch low or no-cost spay/neuter programs in the communities from which they rescue.

Founded in 2011 by Michelle Neufeld Montauk, who lives in Sagaponack with her husband Edward and four dogs Otis, Lulu, Breaker, and Donni, GSAR has been twice named “Best Rescue in The Hamptons.”

During Saturday’s event, attendees will be able to enjoy a musical performance by Grammy Award winning singer and songwriter Loudon Wainwright while they sip on cocktails and enjoy delicious passed hors d’oeuvres.

The evening will kick off with a ceremony honoring the Rescue’s amazing therapy dogs Leo and Lola. Additional entertainment for the evening includes a “Smooch the Pooch” kissing booth with Leo the therapy dog, music by DJ Ray

Jarrell, a Starbucks station serving iced green tea and coffee, Joe & Liza’s serving mini ice cream cones, a Bark Box (www.barkbox.com) station where you fill your own box with various toys, bones and treats to take home for your dog, a live auction lead by Chuck Scarborough, and a silent auction.

The live auction boasts top prizes such as a catered champagne lunch for four on a private boat which will cruise around Shelter Island for the day and dock at the Shelter Island Yacht Club for cocktails, a guided tour of NBC studios by master of ceremonies himself, Scarborough, a ride in an authentic World War II “AT-6” plane for a half hour long tour of Long Island, and a private jet flight from Westchester County to East Hampton for up to six people donated by ExcelAire.

Tickets to the benefit are $125 per person in advance and $175 per person at the door. For tickets visit www.gimmeshelteranimalrescue.org for more info.

What’s In A Name?

By Miles X. Logan Dog names are like people’s names. They change with the times and they embrace the trends. When I was a little kid I vowed to name my son Cletus, after the Yankees’ third basemen. Thankfully, I had a daughter instead.

The most popular female name for a dog this year according to VPI pet insurance is Bella -think Twilight -- nosing out Lucy and Molly. Daisy and Maggie complete the Top 5. Chloe (8), is descending after more than a decade at or near the top, but here comes Zoe, number 11 with a bullet.

Max is the most popular name for boy doggies followed by Bailey, Charlie, Buddy and Rocky.

Duke has faded to number 11.

What’s the only name to appear on both lists, you ask? Dakota.

(Cletus must have been down on the list, somewhere.)

The most commonly used named for a male cat is Bandit, according to the folks at catsnamesmeow. com, who should know. Blackie, Felix (duh!), Fritz and Morris (double duh) are next. What’s the one name that appears in the Top 10 of dogs and cats? Charlie,

the third most popular cat name.

The five most popular names for female cats, in order: Goldie, Isis (where did that come from), Kitty, Lisa, and Mimi. Pussy is number seven – now that makes a lot of sense.

Moving onto horses – because many of us want one of those cuddly little critters in the den at night: Star, Dakota (oh yes, again), Cheyenne, Misty, and Spirit. Duke once again finishes in the 11 slot.

Got a ferret? Podo and Kodo, from the film Beastmaster (1982) Bones and Boots and Grant and Lee also sit atop the list of faves, according to the The Ferret Zone.

Got chickens? Read Bridget LeRoy’s piece on ownership elsewhere in this section. We couldn’t find a list of the most popular names but we did find “Funny Chicken names” courtesy backyardChickens.com. See if you can spot the thread running through this selection: General Tso, Nugget, Omelets, Stew; then there is Dora, Bertha, Maude, and our personal favorite, Mother Clucker.

Got a snake or a crocodile?

Do us a favor and get rid of the thing: and not in the sewer, either.

And Now A Word From Nikki

By Bridget LeRoy

Independent / Bridget LeRoy

Today was the day Gabby, my Golden Laced Wyandotte hen, was to have her staples removed. It’s been about 10 days since her traumatic night-time trip to the vet (don’t ask – all I can say is chickens aren’t for sissies) and it had been touch and go for a while.

Not so touch and go today. In fact, she was going and I couldn’t

touch her. A SPEEDY recovery to say the least.

I chased her around my yard for about 20 minutes, through bushes and brush, scrambling under shrubs to try and grab her. She was completely impossible to catch and my face had turned purple from the unexpected cardio routine.

I was sweaty, covered with dirt,

and had somehow ripped my yoga pants across the backside, so my butt was sticking out. My arms and chest were covered with scratches from the twigs.

The appointment was two minutes ago.

I went inside and grabbed Nikki, my Quaker parrot, like a baseball.

“What’s going on?” he inquired.

“I’m taking you to the avian vet,” I muttered. “I’m not wasting a perfectly good appointment with Dr. Lou in Center Moriches.”

“But there’s nothing wrong with me!” he said.

I paused and looked at him. “I bet there is,” I said.

“I’m perfect,” he shot back.

“What about my nursing skills? I bet I could pull those staples out and all it would cost you is maybe a Fig Newton.”

Nikki is possessed somehow with mad nursing skills. When Tex, our Black Australorp, broke her foot, we put her in the bottom section of his duplex birdcage. He screeched until we let him in with her, where he proceeded to preen her, picking out her pinfeathers and rubbing her beak until she fell asleep.

When the Dorking was attacked by a dog, he took care of her too.

(A quick note, her name is simply the Dorking, which is her breed, because who would go and change a cool name like the Dorking? And yes, it was my dog that attacked her.) And when Gabby had somehow managed to wedge her head under some wire, which caused the necessary

stapling, Nikki didn’t leave her side.

The vision of a little green dragon who will bite the hand that feeds him being so sweet and nurturing to a fellow animal was almost enough to melt the heart. Almost.

“I could be a vet if I wanted,” he continued. “I’m that good.”

“Wish you had staples in your beak,” I said.

We went to the Center Moriches Veterinary Hospital, me completely forgetting about the rip in my pants until someone pointed it out to me.

I pulled my shirt down to cover it, blew hair off my sweaty forehead, and grabbed a tissue to wipe Nikki poop off my shoulder.

My exploits have been recently chronicled in a local Moriches newspaper, and that was the exact moment that other people in the waiting room started thinking to themselves, “Say . . . isn’t THAT Bridget LeRoy?” I was as gracious as a poop-andsweat covered person with a parrot on their shoulder and their ass hanging out can be.

As it turns out, Nikki was right.

Nothing was wrong with him that a little nail clipping couldn’t fix.

“Told you I was perfect,” he said as we walked back to the car. ”Perfect for an appetizer,” I responded.

“Ass,” he said.

I pulled my shirt down again.

Continued from page 37. can help rehab ACL & Spinal injuries etc. both pre and post op here in the Hamptons year-round.

S.S. Aqua Dog came about when my Shiloh Shepherd Dog Sylvester was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy. D.M. is a disease similar to M.S. in humans. I was told my 110-pound dog was going to be paralyzed in possibly six months.

Needless to say I was devastated and not being one to just sit there and be upset, like any true animal lover, I did all I could do for my faithful companion.

I built him a spa for his hydrotherapy to ward off and keep at bay the symptoms of D.M. for as long as possible. The spa also helped to ease his discomfort when the dreaded symptoms set in. Swimming gave us a chance to build his confidence and was a nice distraction and cherished bonding time for me.

Sylvester eventually succumbed to his illness about a year and a half after the diagnosis but the swimming/exercise routine added about a year plus extra quality time to his life and I was grateful to have every gifted minute.

So, let me get your pet wet. Think of me as a personal trainer for your pooch. Let me swim your pup that is afraid of the water. Allow them to feel comfortable in a private, warm water, secure environment. One-onone swim sessions teach your pet how to safely swim and get in and out of the water properly.

Swimming helps build confidence and endurance. It strengthens muscles and encourages flexibility. It gives mental stimulation to dogs tired of the same old thing or in need of a little mental work out. Water Walking™ gives dogs a chance to exercise and get a workout without having to bear the weight. Non-weight bearing is very helpful for dogs both pre or post op, with ACL tears, hip and/ or spine injuries and in some cases, even helps avoid surgery. Swimming helps loosen tight muscles and helps ease the discomfort of arthritis and Hip Dysplasia, to name just a few.

During the Dog Days of Summer, swimming offers a cool alternative to exercise and traditional physical routine. Water Walking™ can also help dogs suffering from anxiety -S.S. Aqua Dog gives them an outlet to let off steam in a calm, controlled, safe, environment.

After reading this, people might think I have gone to the dogs or I am dog-gone crazy, which is probably true! But I guess I have always been a passionate animal lover. For the 12 years prior to this, I was an animal photographer traveling all over the

world working with animals. My experience with animals has taught me to see them as they are and to try to understand their wants and needs.

Having my own ailing animal was a dark cloud that had a true silver lining. Sylvester bought me the S.S. Aqua Dog business and I can now give back the love he gave me by helping other lucky dogs.

Please drop me a line at randy@ randyproductions.com to set up a private, one on one, appointment for hydrotherapy or Therapeutic Massage & Reiki at your pooch’s pool or Sly’s spa in Springs, East Hampton. Until then, have a tailwagging day!

Keep Rover Out Of The Car

By Miles X. Logan

With the summer months upon us, we are at the height of pet travel and it’s time for a reminder about the dangers of leaving your pet in a parked car. The temperature inside a car can skyrocket after just a few minutes. Parking in the shade or leaving the windows cracked does very little to alleviate this pressure cooker.

On a warm, sunny day try turning your car off, cracking your windows and sitting there. It will only be a few short minutes before it becomes unbearable. Imagine how your helpless pet will feel.

O n a n 8 5 - d e g r e e d a y, f o r example, the temperature inside a car with the windows cracked can reach 102 degrees within only ten minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees.

At 110 degrees, pets are in danger of heatstroke.

On hot and humid days, the temperature in a car parked in direct sunlight can rise more than

30 degrees per minute, and quickly become lethal.

Stanford University School of Medicine conducted a study to measure the temperature rise inside a parked car on sunny days with highs ranging from 72 to 96 degrees F. Their results showed that a car’s interior can heat up by an average of 40 degrees F within an hour, regardless of ambient temperature.

Ambient temperature doesn’t matter, it’s whether it’s sunny out.

Eighty percent of the temperature rise occurred within the first half hour. Even on a relatively cool day, the temperature inside a parked car can quickly spike to life-threatening levels if the sun is out.

Further, the researchers noted that much like the sun warms a greenhouse in winter; it also warms a parked car on cool days. In both cases, the sun heats up a mass of air trapped under glass. Precautions such as cracking a window or running the air conditioner prior to parking the car were found to be inadequate.

Pets are ver y susceptible to overheating as they are much less efficient at cooling themselves than people are.

The solution is simple: either travel with someone who can stay with your pet and walk them while you’re away from the car or they stay in the car with your pet WITH the AC on, or don’t bring your pet along if the place you are going does not allow pets.

Dogs are designed to conserve heat. Their sweat glands, which exist on their nose and the pads of their feet, are inadequate for cooling during hot days. Panting and drinking water helps cool them, but if they only have hot air to breathe, dogs can suffer brain and organ damage after just 15 minutes.

Shor t-nosed breeds, young pets, seniors or pets with weight, respiratory, cardiovascular or other health problems are especially susceptible to heat-related stress.

Signs of heat stress include: heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting or a deep red or purple tongue. If a pet becomes overheated, immediately lowering their body temperature is a must.

Move the pet into the shade and apply cool (not cold) water all over their body to gradually lower their temperature.

Apply ice packs or cool towels to the pet’s head, neck and chest only.

Allow the pet to drink small

amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes.

Then take the pet to the nearest vet.

Animal Ser vices Officers or other law enforcement officers are authorized to remove any animal left in an unattended vehicle that is exhibiting signs of heat stress by using the amount of force necessary to remove the animal, and shall not be liable for any damages reasonably related to the removal.

The pet owner may be charged with animal cruelty.

Creating greater awareness is the key to preventing pets from this unnecessary suffering. Below are some tips to help spread the word: A good start is to let friends know about the dangers of leaving their pets in a parked car and remind them to keep their pets at home on warm sunny days if they’ll be going anywhere pets are not allowed.

The Humane Society of the United States has posters available for a nominal fee that store managers can post inside their windows to remind shoppers that “Leaving Your Pet in a Parked Car Can Be a Deadly Mistake.” They also have similar hot car flyers.

Get involved. If you see a pet in a parked car during a warm sunny day, go to the nearest store and have the owner paged. Enlist the help of a local police officer or security guard or call the local police department or animal control office.

Baseball Teams Head For The Homestretch

By Rick Murphy

It doesn’t get any closer.

Six of the seven teams in the Hamptons Collegiate baseball league are in the hunt with a week to go.

The North Fork Ospreys, on top of the standings for almost the entire season, won a critical matchup with last place Montauk (13-23) Sunday 5-3 to seize sole control of first place, if by only

one game, with 20-16 mark.

The Riverhead Tomcats moved to 19-16 Saturday by edging Shelter Island 3-2. Mitchell McGeein had the key hit and went 2-4 with two ribbies. Marquise Gill slashed three hits and scored a run for the winners, and also stole his 30th base of the season. Mark Wilson earned the win. The Bucks fell to 18-16 and are still very much in the thick of it.

The Sag Harbor Whalers are tied for second with a 19-16 record after dispatching Montauk Saturday, 9-1.

Dan Rizzie had a big day with three hits, two ribbies and two runs scored. Nolan Meadows did him one better with three hits and three ribbies.

The Southampton Breakers, 1718, played a critical game against Shelter Island last night and are

scheduled to play at home today against Westhampton (16-18).

First pitch is slated for 5 PM on the Stony Brook/Southampton campus.

The Ospreys can win it all by winning Friday at home against Southampton (7 PM) and Saturday on the road in Riverhead (5 PM).

Sag Harbor plays at Montauk Saturday for a 5 PM affair and Southampton goes to Shelter Island at the same time.

McGeein leads the league with five dingers; Mike Donadio of Riverhead is the batting leader with a sterling .412 mark. His teammate Hunter Dolshun has racked up 29 ribbies, best in the league. Pitching leaders are Tim Ingram of Southampton, 5-0, and Max Watt of Shelter Island, 5-1. Corbin Burnes has 40 strikeouts and Sag Harbor’s Mitchell Kuebbing four saves, both tops in the league.

Can Rory Carry The PGA? It was the second straight major that the PGA Tour had a runaway winner. Granted, Rory McIlroy’s win at the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool had more drama than Martin Kaymer’s win at the U.S. Open last month. But, it certainly won’t go down as one of the all-time exciting weekends in golf.

Ror y McIlroy’s wire-to-wire victory was impressive, and hopefully his improved play can help carry the sport into the next generation.

I wrote in this column the week before the Masters, “It’s been long overdue, but having Tiger miss the Masters, and potentially the U.S. Open and British Open, could be the best thing for the future of the sport.” Boy, was I wrong.

Ratings were down in Tiger’s absence.

This was partly due to limited drama in the biggest tournaments, and partially because no one has willingly “taken the torch” from Woods and Mickelson. Bubba Watson won the Masters, then missed the cut at the U.S. Open and the Open. Watson has only one top10 since Augusta.

Jordan Spieth, 20, has been steady but unspectacular since his runner-up finish at the Masters.

Others including Patrick Reed, Jimmy Walker, and Harris English have yet to burst onto the scene on a week-in, week-out basis.

Rory McIlroy was somewhat of an afterthought coming into the 2014 season. He had a brutal 2013.

He struggled with his club change from Titleist to Nike. McIlroy had

zero wins last year, with only five top-10 finishes in 16 events. This year he has seven top-10 finishes in 11 events, two in Majors, including last weekend’s victory. With his win at The Open, McIlroy, at 25 years old, is the third-youngest player in the Masters era to win three majors, and the third-youngest to win three legs of the career Grand Slam.

Only Jack Nicklaus (23) and Tiger Woods (24) completed three legs at a faster pace. McIlroy is a Masters win away from joining the elite group

www.indyeastend.com

that has won the career Grand Slam. It includes Woods, Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan, and Gene Sarazen.

After a year in the witness protection program, McIlroy has worked his way back into the discussion as a heavy favorite for any upcoming tournaments he enters.

In a year where Tiger Woods has struggled returning from back surgery, and Phil Mickelson is starting to look old, the top spot is there for the taking.

Combine McIlroy with the likes of Dustin Johnson (two top-10’s in Majors this year), Rickie Fowler (three top-five finishes in 2014 Majors), Keegan Bradley, Jason Day, and others, then golf really does have a chance to move on from Tiger.

Rory is currently the only hope who can realistically take over as

July 23, 2014

the “face” of the PGA Tour. Ideally, in time he would develop a rivalry with an American.

It would create a great “Europe vs. USA” theme. But, from everything I see and hear from McIlroy, he appears too much of a gentleman to develop outward bitterness towards a fellow golfer.

Regardless, we need to keep reminding ourselves that McIlroy won’t be what Tiger Woods was in his prime. No one will . . . probably ever. But, having Rory lead the sport, with a solid young cast pushing him is a good start. It sure beats watching Tiger labor through another unimpressive 18 holes.

Let The Rankings Begin We’ve been preaching the same refrain for years – think out of the box. Now it’s time to put into practice what we have learned.

The probable draft order of players, as we have said many times, is unfortunately based on how the players performed in the previous year. Since history seldom repeats itself, it makes no sense to go along with that line of thinking.

Nevertheless, so far this year the top two running backs picked have been LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles, the top two from 2013.

Don’t make that mistake. Your Number One pick should be Adrian “All Day” Peterson, for the simple reason he is by far the best running back in football and one of the best of all time. Peterson had what for him was a lousy year in 2013 – 1266 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.

Keep in mind, though, that the Vikings were a terrible football team with a terrible quarterback. That

meant defenses stacked the line to stop Peterson.

What’s changed? Norv Turner, that’s what. The new Offensive Coordinator loves to get the ball to his featured back, and uses him in the passing attack as well. That means more touches for Peterson, who had only 29 receptions last year for 171 yards -- consider that McCoy had 52 catches good for 539 yards.

Granted, McCoy had a good year, but the slender running back, going into his sixth season, is due for a regression after touching the ball 363 times.

Charles had a great year, but he suffered an injury in the last game of the season and is also undersized.

The Chiefs played a weak schedule and their reward is a much tougher one this time around. We also don’t think his quarterback, Alex Smith, can duplicate last year’s numbers.

That means more scrutiny on Charles.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

We like Matt Forte ahead of both.

Forte is a bruiser who is also an excellent receiver, and he thrives on a heavy workload. The Bears have the best wide receiver tandem in the league and a competent but underrated quarterback in Jay Cutler. They figure to open it up this year under second year coach Mark Trestman. That means more work for Forte.

Eddie Lacy of the Green Bay Packers should be on your radar if you own an early first-round pick. Lacy was hampered by minor injuries but more important, his all-star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was hurt. The Pack historically run the ball often, and they like to give it to their featured back near the goal line. That would be Forte.

I also think this is the season for DeMarco Murray, who has been going in the second or third rounds in most drafts. It’s his contract season, meaning he’ll be playing for a new contract, and he has the best skill set of the remaining backs on the board. After last season’s debacle the Cowboys have hopefully learned they need to run the ball more consistently.

IN THE NEWS

Le’Veon Bell, the Steelers’ second year back, should have a big season.

He was hurt early on as a rookie and then had to fend off three competitors before he finally got the starting nod. It’s his job to lose this year, and Bell has shown the ability to bang it inside and to haul in passes. In addition, Pittsburgh has a weak receiving core and is going to have to rely on him.

Giovani Bernard looked good as a rookie for the Bengals, though his carries were limited. This year his role will expand, and the Bengals’ offensive line, decimated by injuries last season, is healthy. He could easily become a top 10 fantasy back, especially in PPR leagues.

It’s really too early to identify sleepers -- guys who are off the radar that you can steal late in the draft. Once training camps open next week, though, unsung players will begin to impress coaches and earn playing time. Check back in a few weeks for an update.

Skippy Brown finished first in the $100,000 2013 Draft Kings Spring Fling fantasy contest.

On The Water Seabass Off And Running Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean Fluke are cooperating on the slower parts of the tides in most of the bay although west of the bridge is a bit better. Baits working include squid/spearing combo, live killies and gulp. If you like the skinny water try tipping a bucktail with a gulp sandworm. Boated a few nice keepers that way.

The ocean fluke bite may be starting. Had a few reports of fish deep west of the inlet. Start working in 80-feet. The seabass did not disappoint anyone on opening day or for most of the week for that matter.

The Shinnecock Reef has seen plenty of full coolers. Try working other local wrecks and you’ll get the same result. It’s just that good.

Speaking of good, if you want to catch, and I do mean catch, striped bass head to Montauk. Live eels are all you need.

Peconics Porgies remain the target species. Clam or worm baits and plenty of clam chum. If you want fluke head east where the cooler waters are.

Shorebound/Beaches/Canal Bass bite has been slower than slow if that’s possible. There are blues hanging around the inlet.

Fluke are taking baits at the inlet, Ponquogue Bridge and canal. Porgies are at National.

Offshore The Makos are cooperating within five miles of the beach along with the Bluefin out around the Coimbra

only 28 miles out well within range for most of the smaller boats that want a shot at a tuna. The Bluefin have come on the troll.
