A groundbreaking study proves Tomosynthesis (3D imaging) coupled with digital mammography increases cancer detection rates. It actually provides greater accuracy in pinpointing size, shape and location of abnormalities, and with Tomosynthesis there’s a greater likelihood of identifying additional tumors. This technology is available at The Ellen Hermanson Breast Center thanks to the generosity of The Ellen Hermanson Foundation. Get state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment.

For lots of folks, October is synonymous with pumpkins, witches, candy corn and Halloween. But for another segment of the population, those dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, it’s all about the bewbies.

N a t i o n a l B r e a s t C a n c e r Awareness Month was founded in 1985. The American Cancer Society and Imperial Chemical Industries collaborated, launching NBCAM to underscore the importance of mammography in early detection. In 1993, the Estée Lauder Company started the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and used a pink ribbon as its symbol, piggybacking on the ribbons handed out to participants in the New York City Susan G. Komen Foundation race for breast cancer survivors.

NBCAM is celebrated across the nation with races and events designed to raise awareness and support survivors. Locally the month kicks off in Southampton Village tonight with its annual Paint The Town Pink event.

Stacy Quarty and Susie Rosen of the sister organizations Lucia’s Angels and the Coalition of Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital have amassed a pile of 178 giant hot pink bows to festoon around the village as the Southampton Chamber of Commerce, village and town officials join advocates for a tree lighting ceremony tonight at 6:30 PM.

The tree lighting – we’re talking pink lights, of course – begins an entire season of events dedicated to raising awareness and support. “We’ve got a lot going on this month,” a breathless and busy Quarty noted Monday.

On October 18, the wildly popular birdhouse auction to benefit Lucia’s Angels perches at the Southampton Social Club. Earlier that day the Shelter Island 5K at Crescent Beach benefits both organizations. (Be sure to check Indy’s Sweet Charities column for details as event dates draw near). Rounding out this month is a shopping event at Calypso in East Hampton on October 23 that benefits Lucia’s Angels.

And the season of awareness and support spills in to the next month.

On November 8 Chicks With Sticks, a knitting group that meets at Hildreth’s in Southampton, will hold a holiday sale and details of the

To Someday Say ‘Ta Ta’ To Cancer

annual girls night out at Gurney’s Inn in Montauk are underway.

But that’s not all. Lucia’s Angels and the Coalition for Women’s Cancers host an array of day-to-day programs for survivors and those still suffering.

Personal services offered at Lucia’s Angels include nursing care, massages, group or private therapy, and alternate health care treatments.

Founded to support local women with late stage cancers, Lucia’s Angels offers assistance with transportation, dental care, hair styling, manicures and pedicures, and other special services to fit patients’ needs or wishes. Family services include childcare, counseling for children, clothing for children, housecleaning, lawn care, snow shoveling, grocery expenses, and heating and electric bills.

Lucia’s Room, an extension of the organization located at Southampton Hospital, is primarily used by cancer patients going through di f f icult surgeries , palliative care, and/or end-of-life services. The inspiration for the room came in December 2010 after observing two terminally ill women suffering from breast cancer.

Organizers from Lucia’s Angels wished to have those two women’s last days more comfortable, thus sparking the idea for a “Hospice-like” hospital room. The goal became to have Lucia’s Room decorated and equipped with all that is needed to create a peaceful and serene atmosphere for patients and their visitors.

The Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital is a supportive network for women affected by breast, ovarian and uterine cancers. Its focus is early detection and empowerment. Programs offered through the CWC include transportation assistance, support groups through Ellen’s Well, wellness groups including acupuncture circles, Aqua Yoga, and Restorative Yoga, weekend retreats, nutritional programs, pick me up programs, peer to peer counseling, preventive care seminars, and self improvement workshops.

This week Assemblyman Fred Thiele took note of October’s significance. It’s “a time to reaffirm our commitment to prevention and early detection and to honor the brave women and men who have fallen victim to, survived and been touched by this tragic disease,” he said, listing early detection as a

GIVE HIM THE DEATH PENALTYHe killed her.I know he said it was an accident,

but the truth is he killed her.Then there was the cover-up.Finally the other day The New

York Post courageously exposed the wanton killing of an innocent groundhog by Mayor Bill (Fumble Fingers) de Blasio.

It all started when de Blasio dropped the poor adorable little furry groundhog on her head during the annual silly Groundhog (Will He See His Shadow?) Day celebration.

One week later the groundhog died from internal injuries.

D o e s O b a m a c a r e c o v e r groundhogs?

We will never know.The poor little dear clearly did not

receive proper medical care and she was buried in an unmarked grave.

There’s also a gender issue here. We were all told the groundhog was a male named Chuck.

The truth is the groundhog was a female named Charlotte.

SKiP tHiS iF You’Re not in tHe Mood FoR anotHeR angRY

CoLuMnFearing that this would finally

expose the secret Democrats’ war on female groundhogs, the de Blasio administration acted like the whole incident was an unfortunate accident.

Democrat women’s groups – who will march at the drop of a hat – did not march at the drop of this poor little groundhog, who I understand left a family of little groundhogs who will never see their mother’s shadow again.

I say we put Bill de Blasio on trial.I say we have a jury of 12

groundhogs.And when they come in with their

verdict, if they see their shadow, we will not have one more year of the stupid, cop-hating, Al Sharpton-loving de Blasio administration.

WE WON’T HAVE HOLDER TO KICK AROUND ANYMORE

Attorney General Eric Holder, whose “I will decide what crimes I will prosecute and what crimes I will ignore” policy would have gotten a Republican Attorney General impeached, has decided to leave. He’s had a spotty record as Attorney General that only The New

York Times could love.If you want to know how

much trouble this country is in, Al Sharpton is helping to choose Holder’s successor.

Sharpton called the White House (Obama loves Sharpton just as much as de Blasio does), and he has reported, “We are engaged in immediate conversations with the White House over a successor.”

I say Al Sharpton should get the job. I would much rather have him screwing up Washington than hurting New York.

Plus, de Blasio is such a loon the day may come when he will consider dumping Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and giving the job to Sharpton.

Think I’ve lost it?Rachel Noerdlinger, chief of staff

for de Blasio’s wife Chirlane McCray, attends NYPD CompStat meetings with the first lady.

Nothing wrong with that, you say?

Noerdlinger lives with Hassaun McFarlan, a cop-hating ex-con whose record includes homicide, conspiring to run a cocaine operation, etc. etc.

Oh yes, and Noerdlinger used to be a top aid for Al Sharpton.

At this point I believe that Anthony Weiner’s weiner would have been a better choice to run New York.

IF WORDS COULD KILLWasn’t that a great speech Barack

Obama made in front of the United Nations at their annual Let’s See How Much We Can Screw Up New York Traffic Without Accomplishing a Damn Thing meeting.

My God, those ISIS monsters must have been quaking with fear.

Except, as everyone knows:In the history of warfare there

has never been a time when just bombing an enemy has won a war.

Germany bombed the hell out of England during World War II, killing thousands of civilians.

We bombed the hell out of Germany during World War II, but in the end Germany lost because they couldn’t get boots on the ground in England and we could at Normandy.

Since then we have fought wars in Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, etc.

Our air force, the largest and best in the world, has mercilessly bombed these countries whose entire air forces didn’t add up to a Piper Cub.

In the end, it was never enough.Obama has already told ISIS

that he will not put U.S. boots on the ground and so he is hoping to train Syrian rebels and Iraqi troops to do the job.

This, of course, will not work.Barack Obama’s followers insist

he’s a good man. He wants nothing but peace.

But sadly, when it comes to war, he is a lamb in lamb’s clothing.

He will make fighting speeches and wait, and wait.

Then a few years from now there will be boots on the ground but they will belong to ISIS terrorists back from Syria and they will be on the ground in the United States bombing our buildings and subways.

As in Oklahoma, there will be a beheading here, a beheading there – pretty soon those beheadings will add up.

I can’t wait for Obama’s stirring speech the day that happens.

Someday soon a smart reporter will ask Hillary the “If you were President” question . . .

My guess is she would wipe out ISIS with a surge on the ground in Iraq. And bomb them in Syria until Bashar al-Assad’s forces can kill them on the ground.

NO ANGER HEREOne of the greatest moments

in sports I can remember was when Derek Jeter, in his last at bat at Yankee Stadium, hit a game-winning single.

I did what many other sports fans did. My eyes filled up and tears ran down my cheeks.

Not for the game or for the sport but because he’s such a decent man.

We need more Derek Jeters in our lives.

Incumbent U.S. Representative Tim Bishop and State Senator Lee Zeldin had their first debate on September 22 in Hampton Bays, and at times, it wasn’t pretty. At stake is Bishop’s First Congressional District seat.

Held in the Hampton Bays High School auditorium, the first debate saw the two politicians vehement ly a t tack ing the ir opponent’s respective opinions on everything from national issues, like Obamacare and gay marriage, to more local concerns, such as the rebuilding of Dune Road.

Throughout the evening, Zeldin, a 34-year-old Republican from Shirley, opined that Bishop, a Democrat and Southampton Town resident, hasn’t done anything during his multiple terms in office.

At the start of the evening’s debate, Zeldin said the repairs at Dune Road “should have been done by now,” and criticized Bishop’s efforts to get the Army Corps of Engineers to finish the job. “I’m tired of reading a new story about a new deadline,” Zeldin said. “This is something that should have been done by now.”

Zeldin also bashed Bishop on the incumbent’s stance on the Affordable Care Act, immigration, and gay marriage.

Zeldin, like most Republicans, was vocal about opposition to Obamacare. “I have a philosophical difference with my opponent,” he said. “I think Obamacare needs to be repealed.” Zeldin went on to say how it “cuts Medicare, it cuts the Medicare advantage, and provides less choice and less networks. The system’s just not working.” Bills exist to replace Obamacare with. “Republicans have alternatives,” he said.

The Shirley resident’s words were met with a robust applause from the 200-plus in the audience. However, he was unable to mention what those alternatives were, and failed to address what his plan was, a theme Bishop criticized for the duration of the debate.

“It’s a work in progress,” Bishop said when describing Obamacare, drawing groans from the crowd.

In his response, Bishop noted the Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives for years, and if “a real affordable care act” was drafted, “We’d have seen it by now.” Expressing his support of the Affordable Care Act, the incumbent also noted that health care inflation is at its lowest point in years. “That’s a good thing,” he said.

Bishop And Zeldin Come Out SwingingBishop went on to blast Zeldin

for continually being against policies passed by the Senate last year, without providing an alternative. “I’m very clear on what you don’t support,” Bishop said to his opponent. “I have no idea what you do support.”

When the issue of privatizing Social Security came up, Zeldin vehemently denied he ever said he supported such an action and scolded Bishop and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for running an ad featuring Zeldin saying he would support privatizing some Social Security contributions from people under 40.

“I never said that, and I don’t support it. We need to protect

Social Security for our seniors,” he said. Zeldin went on to challenge Bishop to pull the ad, opining “It’s shameful that you’re letting this go on.”

Instead, Bishop attacked and challenged Zeldin to renounce an ad being run by the National R e p u b l i c a n C o n g r e s s i o n a l Committee highlighting a report of Bishop helping a constituent get a permit for a private fireworks display, which ultimately later resulted in a $10,000 donation to Bishop’s reelection campaign. The incident’s been frequently written about in this publication since it occurred in 2012 and is still under review by the Office of Congressional Ethics.

The Independent broke the story that the FBI also investigated Bishop about the matter.

“If you want to talk about shameful ads that campaign committees are running, take a look at the one that’s running on your behalf,” Bishop said. “Why don’t you look into that camera and renounce that,” he continued, “which I doubt you’ll do, because that’s the only bullet you’ve got.”

Gay marriage was another issue of the night that saw a disagreement between the two candidates. Three years ago, Zeldin was one of the State Senators who voted against the Marriage Equality Enactment bill. However, the bill passed and legal same sex marriage became official in the state. In what Zeldin described as “the most emotional vote,” he went on to say

It’s a classic case of no good deed goes unpunished.

When Frances Leslie Kirshman donated 9.4 acres to the Town of East Hampton for affordable senior housing in 1997, her motives were purely altruistic: “I wanted to give something back to my community.”

Kirshman, who is a paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair, said she stipulated the apartments were to be fully accessible to handicapped tenants.

The project was handled and completed by Windmill II LLC, a not-for-profit that is not affiliated with the Town of East Hampton but has overseen three other affordable housing projects. As it turned out, the units weren’t built to ADA standards at all.

Kirshman never knew. She said the town attorney, John Jilnicki, handled the land donation for her and she assumed the units would be built as she requested.

Due to a series of unfortunate occurrences, she found out the hard way that they weren’t.

Last December, Kirshman, who owns a home in Sag Harbor, found herself living in a mold-infested apartment in Windmill Village II.

“I was taken in the dark of night by an ambulance. When I woke up to see this apartment it literally made me sick,” she related.

Kirshman was awarded a $50,000 Community Home Improvement Program stipend administered by the Southampton Town Housing Authority, to renovate her Hillside Avenue house.

She signed a contract dated November 8, 2013 to allow Murtha Constructions of West Islip to begin the renovation. Kirshman was under the mistaken impression that the renovation would make her house fully handicapped accessible.

By all accounts Murtha has an excellent reputation and has handled CHIP projects before. Michael Murtha said the intent of the renovation was never to make the house handicap accessible but to make it “more comfortable” for Kirshman.

By the time the work was completed – Kirshman is still unhappy – the cost had ballooned over $100,000. The contract Kirshman signed with Murtha clearly does not mandate the work be done to ADA standards. Kirshman said she had an attorney review it and was told it did.

Kirshman is not a naive woman, especially when it comes to handicap

Disabled Woman Dealt A Bum Dealaccessibility: for over five years she served on the Southampton Disability Advisory Committee.

Murtha ended up paying money out of his own pocket in an attempt to appease her, including paying a month’s rent at Windmill II and paying for a month’s rental of a storage pod on Kirshman’s property to house some of her belongings.

Curtis Highsmith Jr. who is the director of SHA, confirmed that

Murtha spent his own money on the project. He also confirmed the intent was never to make the house fully handicap-accessible.

But Highsmith wasn’t on the job when the program began — Richard Blowes was.

Kirshman needed to vacate her home while the work was being done. Southampton Housing officials scurried to find somewhere to place her. A unit became available

at Windmill II.No one involved from the

Southampton end knew there was a bitter dispute going on between Windmill II tenants and its board of directors over the mold problem.

Documents obtained by The Independent reveal that Windmill II began charging the Housing Authority $1287 a month to house

Submit t ing h is f i r s t Eas t Hampton Town budget draft this week, Supervisor Larry Cantwell said, “Improvements in services -- delivered in a financially responsible manner – are what I’m striving for in developing my Tentative Budget.”

The document, which will be reviewed and possibly revised by the entire town board before a public hearing is scheduled and it’s adopted next month.

The proposed tax levy increase falls below the state mandated tax cap by just over $200,000. That money can be applied to next year’s budget, giving the town an extra cushion, or “cap space” for 2016. It also allows East Hampton Town

Cantwell Strives For Improved Services, Fiscal Responsibilityresidents to qualify for the new state income tax credit that applies to all town taxes.

For village property owners the tax rate increases by a little over two percent; for those with properties outside village boundaries the rate will go up by 3.16 percent. For a home assessed at $7000, the increase works out to $40.39 outside the villages and $25.06 inside the villages.

According to Cantwell’s budget message, total budgeted spending will increase 2.95 percent to $71,481,765 and the total tax levy is up 2.7 percent to $49,166,689.

The supervisor describes his proposed increased as “reasonable” when cast against a backdrop of

escalating health insurance costs for town employees – they’re up close to six percent – plus “modest” increases in employees’ pay in newly-settled police contracts and upcoming CSEA agreements.

“Despite the pressure to increase contractual spending and spending on basic commodities, I believe we held the line in enough areas . . . and cut enough in others (such as the closure of the Scavenger Waste Treatment Plant) to allow us to strengthen some programs that are particularly important to residents,” Cantwell’s message opines.

Closing the scav plant comprises the greatest spending cut in the tentative budget. “Underused and

unfairly subsidized,” the treatment plant was responsible for an annual net cost to taxpayers of over $500,000, the supervisor said. The immediate cost savings for 2015 is almost $460,000.

C a n t w e l l a n d c o m p a n y emphasized code enforcement and improvements to quality of life while on the campaign trail last year. The budget calls for a Public Safety Coordinator as a separate and distinct title (previously, code issues were overseen by an assistant town attorney). The budget also includes funding for a new ordinance inspector and the promotion of an inspector to the title of Code Enforcement Officer. Additionally, Cantwell is adding funding to bolster seasonal police and marine patrol staff, plus staff to work on keeping beaches clean.

Beyond extra enforcement personnel, Cantwell’s budget proposes just two additions to the town staff. A part-time environmental technician will become a ful l t ime worker, with salary paid in part by the Community Preservation Fund and duties that include tasks specific to CPF-purchased properties alongside general land management work.

Earlier this year, the supervisor took on Alex Walter as his executive ass i s tant . The 2015 budget formalizes the position, and lays out duties that include: coordinating the policy-related activities of the supervisor’s office, serving as the liaison to all department heads, assisting with special projects and assignments that require extensive attention at the highest level of town management and helping to make the supervisor’s office more responsive to the public.

The salary for the position is listed at $40,000. Cantwell will make $102,792 next year, with colleagues on the town board collecting $64,245 for their “part time” positions.

Town officials are continuing to work to get out from under the fiscal crisis created during disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee’s tenure (2004 to 2009). The massive deficit generated during that time frame pushed the town into seeking deficit financing, which, by law, carries a requirement of state oversight of proposed budgets and other fiscal efforts. Town budget officer Len Bernard reported representatives from the Office of the State Comptroller will be visiting this week to look the proposed budget over.


By Kitty MerrillIt won’t be long now before the

air on the East End is perfumed with the autumnal aroma of wood fires in residential fireplaces. But the annual sensual touchstone comes with a sooty underbelly – the potential for scams.

A r e a d e r c o n t a c t e d T h e Independent recently complaining about the sketchy interaction he had with a so-called chimney cleaning company from out of town. Our reader suggested it might be time to remind folks about the potential for scammers to take you and not your chimney to the cleaners. Of course, we’re happy to oblige.

A chimney cleaning scam is fairly easy to perpetrate. Why? Because few homeowners know about chimneys and even fewer have the wherewithal to climb up on the roof and check to see that the

Where There’s Smoke, There’s Scamscleaner did what he said he would. The con will rely on this ignorance to fleece homeowners.

He’ll also hope for bargain hunters, knocking on the door and quoting a special price “just for today” because he’s working in the neighborhood. Another common ploy sees the scammer mentioning an alliance with a local fire department, or stating references that aren’t real.

The scambusters website details how scammers try their con. Once

you’ve fallen for an unusually low price, and the scammer gets to “work” he or she will tell you there’s structural damage or that you need a new (and costly) liner. They can take the deposit you give for materials and vanish or, replace your perfectly fine liner with one of shoddy quality. Be sure to always get second, and third, quotes for repairs.

Dangerous Criminal NailedEast Hampton Village Police

observed an offending sign at the corner of Stephen Hands Path and Montauk Highway on Friday and hunted the offender down like a dog. He was having a yard sale – and he paid the ultimate price: a fine for posting an illegal sign. Let the people know this type of thing will not be tolerated -- not now, not ever.

No, It’s A CarA man plowed his Honda Accord

into Waldbaum’s in Riverhead last week. Police said the man, 77, might have been suffering a heart attack. He told them he became confused and thought he was returning his electric shopping cart. He was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Abuse With FireEast Hampton Town Police

arrested a 16 year old after he allegedly set a girl’s hair on fire. The youth, who lives on Jason’s Lane, was not identified. He was charged with Reckless Endangerment and released on an appearance ticket.

Paddlers For HumanityOver the past six years, Paddlers for Humanity has raised over $850,000 through sporting events and

challenges including the Block Island Challenge, Hither Hills Off-Road Half Marathon, and Stand Up Paddle Team Challenge. This year, for the first time, the organization has decided to focus its giving on a more specific cause–mental health programs for youth.

After speaking to members of East End communities about their needs, concerns and feelings in regards to the lack of various resources, the P4H organizers saw a distinct pattern–youth mental health programs are underfunded and in high demand. Funds raised during the 2013/2014 events will benefit various Long Island-based organizations focused on a range of mental health issues including: $30,000 to help improve the Family Service League’s (www.fsl-li.org) early intervention outreach; $26,000 to fund East Hampton Middle School’s new “WhyTry?” initiative, a resiliency education program that will be available to sixth graders this fall; $5,000 to East Hampton High School’s initiatives that address early intervention for kids dealing with depression, bullying and self-esteem issues; $20,000 to Bridgehampton School’s Positive Behavioral Supports and Intervention Program for grades 1 through 12, which results in changing behavior through a focus on the positive.

Kirshman in Building 3, Unit 15, despite the fact that tenants say they have professional tests – reviewed by The Independent – that confirm the presence of mold.

“This was supposed to be a program to protect me,” Kirshman pointed out. “They were told the apartment was for a paraplegic and they told me it was handicap accessible.”

Worse, Windmill II LLC refused to allow her to bring her companion dog. That’s when Kirshman reached rock bottom. She is known as “The German Shepherd Lady” hereabouts – she trains the breed to become pets, companions, and service canines to owners with MS, Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s, autism, and other debilitating diseases.

“I have to confess I was so depressed I felt like ending it all.”

The fact that she once owned the land where she was now living was a particularly bitter pill. “They made me feel like a non-entity.”

A group of residents and former residents are suing Windmill II LLC, the Town of East Hampton, and

Town Housing Director Tom Ruhle because they allegedly became ill because of the mold problem. Kirshman is part of the suit.

Kirshman made headlines when, earing leg braces and forearm crutches, and against medical advice, she volunteered on 9/11 as a credentialed civilian first responder. She did two tours of duty, 72 hours each, in the Jacob Javits Center staging area working with search and rescue and later with search and recover dogs. Her expertise handling German Shepherds was invaluable for the recovery of the traumatized work dogs returning from the tragedy downtown. She also assisted their handlers, exhausted veterinarians, firemen, and police, according to published reports.

The Independent emailed Ruhle and Michael DeSario, president of Windmill II LLC Thursday and asked if there was a mold problem in the unit made available to Kirshman, and if so was she notified.

“On advice of counsel I cannot comment because this matter is under litigation,” Ruhle replied.

Southampton has yet to pay $6683.50 Windmill II has billed

Kirshman’s rent as of this writing.Southampton Town Attorney

Tiffany Scarlato said the hold up has nothing to do with Kirshman’s complaints. “We are waiting for [the county] for reimbursement.

KirshmanContinued FRoM Page 9.

The paperwork is in.”The $100,000 lien Kirshman

signed on for will ultimately be forgiven. “The county pays it,” Scarlato said.

Mta = Most taxing agencyAbout five years ago area officials railed against the Metropolitan

Transit Authority’s proposed payroll tax. Designed to help bail the Authority out of a financial crisis the tax charged employers 34 cents for every dollar of payroll. On the East End in particular, elected officials argued against underwriting an entity that had just cut service to the region. In 2011 the state legislature eliminated the tax for small businesses with payrolls lower than $1.25 million per year and exempted schools.

Now, the MTA has proposed using the payroll tax to fund its $32 billion capital program. According to Assemblyman Fred Thiele, if the plan were to be implemented it would essentially make the tax permanent because the payroll tax would be used to back bonds, for up to 30 years.

“The MTA payroll tax is an unfair, job killing tax. Here on the East End, we are paying for a service we barely get. It’s unconscionable to expect the East End to continue to pay for billions of dollars of capital projects that won’t even benefit us,” Thiele charged this week.

The plan needs legislative review before it can be implemented. Said Thiele, “The State should not even consider blessing this plan. Instead we should permanently repeal MTA payroll. We can no longer place this burden on our counties, towns, villages and businesses. Eliminating the MTA payroll tax will put Long Island back on the path to economic prosperity. It’s time for the Legislature to act before it’s too late.”

From The Too Much Information Department

The slogan for Oberto Beef Jerky is “You get Out What You Put In.” Thanks for that image.

Lady, You’re Quite A Babe, Ma’am.

I used to call older women “dear” when I was a young man.

The image conjures up a gray or white haired little biddy, purse on arm, perhaps carrying a tote bag of groceries.

“Can I help you with those grocer-ies, dear?”

“Oh, thank you. What a nice

this and thatyoung man you are.”

Yes, I was.The other day I caught myself us-

ing it again – to some young woman at the deli checkout. “Thanks, dear,” I said. I then realized, as I get older, the women I call “dear” get younger.

There had to be a spot some-where in my life then, when I was the same age as “dear.” Plotting the graph, checking the sine and cosign, and extrapolating the lines, it must have been around age 42, when I called my wife “dear.” Now I simply refer to her as “boss,” “Hon” (or is it “Hun”) or, taking a line from Rum-pole, “She Who Must Be Obeyed.”

The last guy to call a babe a broad and get away with it was Frank Sinatra. Back in the fifties babes er I mean, people of the feminine gender, dug that. They could even be “Toots” as in, “Toots, can you freshen up my drink? Thanks, babe.”

All this came up the other day because when I moderated a Q & A I would point to ladies with their hands up waiting to speak and say

“Ma’am?” That was their cue to ask a question.

“Not good,” Karen said. “It sounds like they are old biddies.”

Oh Dear.But I was right. According to

Miriam Webster “ma’am” has one of two meanings: Ma’am is used to politely speak to a woman who you do not know and I did not know any of those women, at least in the bibli-cal sense.

The other meaning is more ob-scure. “Used to speak to the Queen or to a woman of high rank in the police or military.” First of all, I recommend you do not address a female police officer as “Hey Queenie.” Not good.

As for the queen, ma’am sounds a bit informal. I would go with “Your Majesty,” “My Lady,” or as they called me in college, “Your Royal Highness.”

In the sixties guys used to call their girlfriends “My Lady” and I always thought that sounded silly. Guys, unless your girlfriend is named Guinevere don’t go there.

A Piece of What?When we were around 12 or 13

the older guys in Sag Harbor used to say, “She’s a real piece!” It was clear they meant hot, sexy, good looking. What was unclear was how that saying came to be.

My research traced it back to “Piece of work” as in “you’re a

real piece of work.” According to Straight Dope that is an insult.

Wearing my William Safire hat, I have deduced the phrase “She’s a real piece” needs at least one more word to make sense, and even then the meaning is murky.

For example, “She’s a real piece of tail.” What does that mean? Is she like, a peacock? Should she then be called a peagina? Did they mean tail like a serpent has, like the devil . . . hmmmmm come to think of it my first wife . . . well, never mind.

“She’s a piece!” A piece of what, though? Cake?

What if she were a piece of crap? Are they saying she is ugly? That she’s an ugly girl with a tail?

In the old days the “Little Lady” always had a cake or cookies in the kitchen. Women themselves were viewed as a pleasing dessert. They were called “Sweetie” and “Sugar.” No one ever called a woman “Essential Soluble Fat” or “Monounsaturated Liquid” even if they ate a lot of their own cake and thus weren’t Little Ladies anymore.

The Long FarewellI’ve always tried to play the

game the way it should be played. I don’t shun the spotlight, but I don’t seek it, either. I’m not comfortable in public, so I would never draw attention to myself. I’m Rick M2rphy.

EDITORIAL


Talk About An Eyesore Now the Long Island Business For Responsible Energy wants to put a skull and

crossbones sign on every newly installed utility pole in East Hampton, plus warning signs in Spanish and English. We’re sure the real estate industry will love that.

Imagine trying to sell a house when a sign on the pole in front of it says the ground is contaminated. Potential buyers will think they made a wrong turn at the Love Canal exit.

The reason, of course, is the claim made by PSEG opponents that the poles contain 300 times the DEC level of penta, a wood preservative. That number comes, by the way, from a consultant paid by LIBFRE and has not been confirmed by anyone else.

Never mind every utility pole in the nation is treated with penta. That is not to say penta shouldn’t be banned in this country, as it is in many others.

But let’s not pretend East Hampton is Ground Zero in the fight.The proposal has found champions in State Senator Ken LaValle and Assemblyman

Fred Thiele: the latter reportedly claimed poles were originally meant to be placed in sparsely populated areas – you mean, like virtually every street on Long Island, Fred?

Is it possible these elected officials are pandering to pressure because the PSEG hierarchy hasn’t jumped through hoops for them?

Fortunately cooler heads rule East Hampton Village and Town. Isn’t it time to conduct an independent study to determine exactly what level of penta is present in the poles? Petulance is an insufficient reason to a turn this place into a permanent Halloween night.

There are hundreds of millions of utility poles in this country. None have a skull and crossbones insignia. Does East Hampton really want to be the only place that does?

What’s Wrong With This Picture?Last week the East Hampton Town Police reported that 12 college students from

Jamaica complained that their landlord ripped them off. They said they were locked out of the Oakview Lane residence they had rented. Police told the landlord it was illegal to lock them out and had to let them back in. Oh . . . Silly us. We thought it was illegal to rent a house to 12 unrelated people.

Calling Zephyr Hi Rick,

I read your recent Column, “Calling Zephyr Smorgasbord” and fell on the floor laughing! I though that I was the only one who experienced this problem but lo and behold . . . I’m not alone.

I too have caught myself cussing many times at my car all because the “voice” in my dashboard can not understand simple English when I ask “him” (yes, mine is a guy) lol, to dial a name. I showed my husband the article and he too got a good laugh out of it. I look forward to reading your weekly articles. They are always right on the money and the way you write them is priceless.

A Blind EyeTo the Editor,

Fast and Furious; Benghazi; chaos on

the border; “green” energy boondoggles like Solyndra; spying on media (AP, James Rosen, etc.) and on thousands of ordinary citizens; trampling First Amendment rights at the IRS; and the cover-ups, lies and stalling that have accompanied each and every one of these scandals and frauds. And then there’s the unprecedented level of spending and debt.

Our Congressman, Tim Bishop, has supported or turned a blind eye to all of these outrages. He has put Party loyalty above his obligation to his community, to his country and to the truth. If you’re fed up with this kind of representation, there’s a solution: Elect Lee Zeldin on November 4.

Positively PitbullsDear Editor,

To all who made the cover of September 24, 2014 edition possible, two words: Thank You!

Being an owner of a Pitbull, I must say how wrongly they are characterized and judged. However, when you see the photo of the seniors with the Pitbulls on the cover

and on page four, I must let all know that this is the epitome of what Pitbulls are about. They aim to please. They are fun, loving, comical and enjoy the company of children, seniors and everyone they encounter. What a wonderful day those dogs and seniors must have had. I don’t notice any fear in any one of the three photos accompanying the article. If we continue to show their true nature at functions such as this, maybe more people will be less apprehensive about encountering this wonderful breed. Thank you all again so very much.

Just A Little Re2pectDear Mr. Mundo,

You are an idiot -- and clearly know nothing about Yankee baseball or Derek Jeter. You are a Mets’ fan -- need I say more -- instead of being a NEW YORK fan. Classic Mets’ fan who just can’t win anything!

I have been watching Derek’s “Farewell Tour” as you called it -- and there is nobody more than Derek who just wants

to get back to playing the game. But when a baseball player - and more important, a person comes along who is humble -- not interested in being in the public eye and cuts his own tribute day short because “we have a game to play” in his own words, it is time to pay Re2pect to that person who is one among the few role models that our youth of today has.

How dare you put Derek Jeter in the same sentence as A-Rod, another idiot who is where he deserves to be: nowhere!

I am not a loyal Derek or baseball fan but I have been watching the man, Derek Jeter, for a long time and I happened to have had the honor and privilege to attend a Yankee game this past Sunday and I thought that since it was the last week of play for Derek he would have been more visible to the crowds who were dressed with every Jeter apparel sold, chanted and screamed at any mention of him -- and clearly were there to get just one more glimpse of him. He hardly made himself visible to the crowds who wanted to experience just one more moment of Yankee baseball with their Captain.

There was a game to play -- with no

distraction from Derek. Derek has lived his life out of the public eye the way it should be and has stuck to just playing the game that he loves and plays so well.

So to you, just another jealous Mets’ fan -- you will never see the likes of a Derek Jeter on your team or in baseball for a very long time to come: there is more to baseball than stats and hitting home runs.

There is an entire package that comes with an extraordinary player and I ask you to name one other player who has the entire package. There have been thousands of baseball players since the inception of the game and only a few who remain a household name and earned a place in the baseball Hall of Fame and Derek is and will be one of them.

He deserves a farewell tour and more for the devotion to Yankee baseball and to the fans who have loved watching him play and live his life with dignity and Re2pect.

Anti-ZionistDear Editor,

U.N. Bias Strikes Again!Rosh Hashanah is one of the holiest

days for Jewish people all over the world.However, this worthless Anti-Zionist

organization once again scheduled The General Assembly week to coincide with this holiday. So again, many of us had difficulty getting to our elderly parents who reside not far from the U.N. By the time we got there one evening it was too late to take them to temple for services.

What is even more bewildering was the President was there the day before. I assume he was not aware of this injustice. NYC’s liberal mayor most certainly had to be aware of this scheduling conflict long in advance.

I trust he didn’t consider this a matter of importance.

MARTY ORENSTEIN

Intricate WebsDear Editor,

This is the time of year when many arachnids are seen weaving intricate webs and wooing mates. If you spot a spider in

your house or yard, please leave her in peace — she is likely just roaming about due to the time of year, and will soon retreat back into her safe hiding spot.

Spiders are amazing animals. They range in size from tarantulas, who can grow a foot long, to arachnids as small as the head of a pin. Some spiders can live up to 20 years. Their silk is five times stronger than steel and it has been speculated that a spider web with strands the thickness of a pencil could stop a 747 in flight.

If you must evict a spider, do so humanely by placing a glass over the spider and sliding a piece of stiff paper underneath (taking care not to pinch the spider’s delicate legs). Then, release the spider outdoors.

For the hopelessly arachnophobic, keeping insects out of your home is the key to keeping spiders out as well, since insects are their food source. Keep garbage and your animal companions’ food in tightly

sealed containers. Wipe down shelves, countertops, workbenches, and floors with equal parts vinegar and water and clear away clutter. Seal cracks in walls, near windows, and around the foundation. Clear brush and woodpiles around the yard and cut back grass, bushes, and weeds. Chestnut, clove, or mint-scented oils and lemon juice can also encourage spiders to move on.

Editor’s Note: Emily Toy wrote “They Call It Puppy Love,” our cover story last week.

Vote For MergerDear Editor,

Vote Yes!Our friends are from Tuckahoe and my

children’s friends go to Tuckahoe school. We all go to the same grocery store, birthday parties, meetings, Southampton Village events; SYS sports programs, summer camps. Vote yes for the merger.

The Southampton School District has decided to continue work on an annexation of the Tuckahoe School District, and a new straw vote on the proposed merger is scheduled for November 18, 2014.

The straw vote will be the first of two public referendums on the reconfigured annexation plan. If approved separately in the straw vote by both districts, the merger would move to a final official vote of the combined school districts in January that would need majority approval to merge the two districts.

The decision to move forward with a vote came two weeks after a call from Southampton officials for supporters of the merger to come forward, saying that all they had heard to that point was negative feedback.

Tuckahoe’s tax rate is much higher than Southampton’s, meaning a merger would cause taxes in Tuckahoe to drop and taxes in Southampton to rise. Southampton voters overwhelmingly rejected the consolidation in a straw poll in October, with many saying they feared a sudden tax hike.

Governor Cuomo signed a bill allowing Tuckahoe School to consolidate with Southampton Schools.

In the event of the dissolution of the Tuckahoe Common School District, the newly-merged Southampton Union Free School District would be authorized to

establish a reserve fund for tax reduction purposes using $9 million in capital monies that Southampton currently has in reserve to construct a planned administration building, which would no longer be needed if consolidation is ratified by the voters.

The reserve fund would then be used to maintain the Southampton School District’s estimated tax rate that was in place prior to the merger, allowing the district to avoid a significant increase in property taxes for Southampton residents. The new law would gradually phase in the increases over a 10-year period.

The study found that in the event of a merger, no new buildings or major renovations would be necessary. Many students already know each other through the community, sports, scouts and the local youth center. The study estimated a budget for the combined district of $71.5 million, with a significantly lower total tax levy when compared to the tax levy for the two stand-alone districts.

The Southampton school district consists of three schools with 1,500 students, while Tuckahoe consists of one school with about 350 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Tuckahoe pays Southampton to educate most of its 150 or so high school students, who also have the option of going to Westhampton Beach.

Scott Farina, the Southampton District Superintendent, said the merger would result in “enhanced learning opportunities,” and “help maintain extracurricular

activities.”Officials say the merger of Southampton

and Tuckahoe school districts could save taxpayers in the new district $4 million a year. Southampton Superintendent Scott Farina says much of the savings would come from the elimination of about a half-dozen top administrators.

The merger will actually decrease tax impact to Southampton taxpayers in the first 3 years. There will be no increased tax levy impact until 2018-19.

The new legislation will allow for a gradual phasing in of the merger cost to Southampton School district taxpayers

over a 10-year period. The final tax levy on a $1 million home

will be $330 more in the 2024/25 school year than it is in the current 2014/15 school year.

The merger will provide enhanced learning opportunities for all students a n d a l l ows fo r t h e b es t u se o f facilities and grouping of students in developmentally appropriate ways. It will enable us to maintain current athletic and extracurricular programs, maintain lower class sizes, and avoid negative impacts like the loss of student population.

that marriage should be defined as a union between a man and a woman.

“My opponent and I disagree,” he said. “I enjoyed being as open-minded as possible, but unfortunately, for the advocates, I had to vote no.”

On the other hand, Bishop reminded the crowd of his voting to repeal legislation restricting benefits on same sex couple. “We ought to be a nation that is sufficiently loving and sufficiently tolerant,” he said. “I’m a full supporter and an enthusiastic supporter.”

Yet another topic of disagreement was term limits. Bishop doesn’t believe in them.

“I think we have a very good system in place,” he said. “It keeps us accountable. The best way is to

put ourselves before the people.” Bishop went on to say he was in the private sector for 29 years. “I came here late in the game,” he said.

Zeldin firmly believes in term limits at all levels to promote “new energies and new ideas.” He added he does not seek to have a long career in Albany nor Washington if elected in November. “I want to bring in my energy and ideas, and then move on.”

The incumbent questioned what his opponent thought of State Senator Ken LaValle, a Republican that’s served New York State’s 1st Senatorial district since 1977.

“Should I tell Ken LaValle that 40 years is too much, or do you want to tell him,” Bishop said jokingly.

“I love Ken LaValle, he’s a good guy,” Zeldin responded. “Leave Ken LaValle out of this.”

“Have a consistent argument,”

Bishop charged.Another hot button issue was

immigration reform.B i shop sa id he suppor t s

comprehensive immigration reform, noting the currently proposed bill offers a compromise, not amnesty for immigrants. “That’s the only way to humanely do it,” he said.

Zeldin charged back and said he “emphatically rejects” the Bishop-supported bill as “the only way.” In a rebuttal, Bishop said although they did not agree on a plan, he didn’t ever hear of a course of action from Zeldin.

“I’ve enjoyed working with the congressman,” Zeldin said. “There are two very different paths that we each want. I offer my ideas and best solutions. This election’s important. There’s no way we’re going to change Washington if we keep electing this guy.”

Bishop argued against the allegation he bases his actions on poll results.

“I’m dedicated to serving the people I represent,” he said. “And I’ve done a damn good job at it.”

631-329-1187

By Vincent PicaCommodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

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

In 1787, Alexander Hamilton envisioned that “a few armed ves-sels, judiciously stationed at the entrances of our ports, might at a small expense be made useful sentinels of our laws.” Fast for-ward to today and I am sure that Alexander Hamilton would be astonished at the breadth, depth and intensity of duties carried out by the United States Coast Guard. A major expansion in our ability to conduct the missions and duties established by the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard is through “Rescue 21.” This column is the update on what it is and where it is working.

Rescue 21 – What Is It?Rescue 21 is the first major

overhaul of the USCG communi-cations system since the 1970s. Rescue 21 is replacing a wide range of aging, obsolete VHF-FM radio communications equipment:

Workstations/consoles at about 270 Coast Guard facilities.

All remote transceiver sites, as well as the network connecting them to the facilities above.

Approximately 3000 portable radios.

Safety of Life at Sea: Rescue 21 – Search & Rescue in the

21st CenturyDirection finding capability

greatly improved to +/- 2 degrees. Communications coverage

gaps in existing system greatly reduced.

Further, it entails several, inte-grated capabilities:

Direction-finding capability. Reduction of coverage gaps

along the coast. Enhanced playback capability

improving clarity of calls. Digital archiving of calls. Increased (and simultaneous)

channel monitoring capacity, en-suring all calls get through.

Rescue 21 is “standing the watch.”

Who Is Live And Who Is Next:After a long, multi-year imple-

mentation, Rescue 21 is opera-tional along the entire Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts of the continental United States as well as along the shores of the Great Lakes, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Marianas Islands, cover-ing approximately 41,871 miles of coastline.

Rescue 21 – How Does It Work?

Well, to start with, here is a list of all the equipment you need to be part of it:

1. a standard VHF radio2. nothing else.If it is a “DSC” radio, which will

certainly help, but, bottom line, all you need to be able to call for help and have it responded to in 21st century fashion is a standard VHF radio.

Here’s What Happens:You send your distress/May-day

call. It is automatically recorded and digitized by the station re-ceiving it.

Direction finding (DF) equip-ment from one or more high sites computes the direction from which the signal originated, or line of bearing (LOB). Recall read-ing about 400’ radio towers being installed at USCG stations in the area? This is why.

Your distress audio and the LOB are sent to the closest Ground Center(s).

Appropriate resources (planes, helicopters, boats) are dispatched to respond immediately — even across regional boundaries. No turf wars in our surf. You’re in danger. We’re coming.

You might say, “Well, direc-tion finding technology has been around for decades. What’s the big deal?” While true and I’ve used it, this new digital technol-ogy is accurate to within +/- 2 de-grees. Like a trusty pointer, USCG resources will fly down that Line Of Bearing – and find you.

Who knows, with Rescue 21 in place, what the future holds – but greater safety of life at sea is part of it.

Oh, and one other thing that Rescue-21 does well: it quickly triangulates on false may-days too . . . From the Jacksonville, NC, Daily News:

JACKSONVILLE -- A Holly Ridge man has agreed to pay nearly a quarter of a million dollars in restitution for false distress calls he made to the Coast Guard. Jer-emy C. Fisher, 25, pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiring to make false distress messages. As part of his plea agreement,

Fisher agreed to pay $234,111 restitution to the Coast Guard for all search and rescue costs associ-ated with the hoax calls. William H. Yates, 22, of Sneads Ferry, and Steven G. Medina, 21, of Onslow County, each pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false distress messages.

Medina agreed to pay $233.48, and Yates agreed to pay $506.80 in restitution, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney George E.B. Holding. Fisher faces up to five years in prison followed by up to three years of supervised re-lease. Yates and Medina each face up to six years in prison followed by up to two years’ supervised release.

BTW, if you are interested in be-ing part of USCG Forces, email me at [email protected] or go direct to the d1SR Human Resources de-partment, who are in charge of new members matters, at dSo-HR and we will help you “get in this thing . . .”

Food trucks For Southampton?Earlier this month, Southampton Town Councilman Stan Glinka

presented an effort to consider allowing food trucks to remain in permitted locations for up to 90 minutes throughout town.

“Food trucks are set up at restaurants to add income to properties and businesses,” Glinka said at a work session earlier this month. “This is designed for local people who want to enjoy something to eat, most likely around lunch time during the day.”

On October 8, Glinka will host a roundtable discussion on the matter, creating an opportunity for feedback from interested food purveyors on the proposed legislation.

“I’m trying to help the businesses out,” Glinka noted at the work session, “to make them some extra income.”

The roundtable discussion will be held in the town board meeting room at Southampton Town Hall at 5:30 PM. The legislation is set for public hearing on October 28. RSVP to Jamie Cunningham at [email protected] or at 631-287-5745.

Bellisimo! San gennaro at good ground this Weekend

Abbondanza! Good Ground Road in Hampton Bays (behind Main Street near the railroad station) will be teeming with food and fun this weekend as the fourth annual San Gennaro Feast of the Hamptons rolls into town.

The festivities start with a parade on Saturday morning at 10:30 AM. Participants will march from Ponquogue Avenue to Main Street, then loop around to the festival grounds, where visitors will find oodles of artisans and vendors, sumptuous Italian delicacies and, for the bambinos and bambinas, a carnival. Live musical entertainment is planned, as is a fireworks show at 8:30 PM Saturday night.

Don’t miss Vito, the singing pizza man, “Vito” from “The Sopranos” (Joseph Gannascoli) who will be on hand to sign his book, and John Starks from the New York Knicks.

The feast continues on Sunday till 10 PM.

We can count on one hand how many NFL quarterbacks guarantee competitiveness for their teams: Pey-ton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Andrew Luck. Almost every other team is hoping for the best, testing out a new arm, or engaging in a training camp “quar-terback battle”.

In today’s NFL, with the passing game more integral than ever, each organization is on the elusive search for the franchise quarterback. The Jets are one of the teams with that co-nundrum. After selecting Geno Smith early in the second round last May, they have given him every chance to prove himself. But, after nearly a year and a half, it’s not working.

Following the end of the 2013 sea-son, Geno Smith had excuses. He was a rookie quarterback with, quite possi-bly, the worst skill position personnel in the NFL. The Jets made it a priority to find upgrades. They signed wide receiver Eric Decker, running back Chris Johnson, and drafted tight end Jace Amaro. These additions weren’t going to be confused with Jerry Rice, Walter Payton, or Tony Gonzalez, but they were all improvements over last year.

Despite the changes, Geno Smith hasn’t improved the one thing he can control: his decision making. Smith’s seven turnovers through four games, following up his 25 turnover season last year, doesn’t bode well for his future in New York. It’s understand-able for the Jets to take some time to figure out whether or not Smith can be their franchise signal caller. But, at some point, you cut the cord, especially when you have a proven commodity at back up.

Michael Vick is not Tim Tebow or Mark Sanchez. Vick is a proven veter-an, who has started over 100 games in his career, thrown for over 3,000 yards multiple times in a season, rushed for nearly 6,000 yards in his career, and played deep into the postseason. Granted, he isn’t the Michael Vick of 2006 with the Falcons. But, even at 34 years old he has demonstrated, most recently with the Eagles, that when healthy he is still an effective player.

At the moment, Geno Smith’s leash should be very short. The Jets possess one of the best defenses in football. Their defensive line is, arguably, the best in the game. Yet, they are 1-3,

geno’s days numbered For gang greenlargely because of an offense that isn’t pulling its weight.

The AFC East is as wide open as it’s been during the Tom Brady/Bill Belich-ick regime in New England. Rex Ryan is possibly coaching for his job. Is he willing to go down with Geno Smith under center? That seems foolish.

I don’t know how much Michael

Vick has left in the tank. But, I know we’ve seen enough over the first four weeks to give him a try. Could a benching affect the psyche of Geno Smith? Yes. But, it’s a win-win situa-tion. If Vick comes in, handles the job well, and the Jets win games, then Geno’s psyche is irrelevant. If Vick doesn’t work out, and Smith’s mind-set is never again at ease, that’s not a loss either. The Jets will have then found out that Geno Smith doesn’t have the wherewithal to handle the quarterback position in New York.

In the NFL, it’s pretty simple. If you can’t do the job, someone else has to get a chance to. The most important thing for a quarterback is winning

games. This isn’t college. The learn-ing curve must be rapid, and it hasn’t been for Geno Smith.

At best, Michael Vick is a short-term stop gap. At worst, the Jets learn they don’t have a franchise quarter-back on the roster. Then, the eternal search for the most important player in the organization begins in full force this offseason. If that’s how it ends up, the Jets can take solace in know-ing there are about 20 other teams in the same position . . . every offseason.

It’s three and counting for Riverhead, the Suffolk County champions two years running.

The victim this week was Smithtown West, which could not cope the Blue Waves’ powerful offensive attack. Though Riverhead likes to control the game with its punishing ground attack, quarterback Ken Simco makes opponents that try to stop the run pay a steep price.

Saturday he hurled three touchdown passes, one to Mark Andrejack, another to Connor Clinco, and a third to Ryun Moore.

Riverhead Wins Again, 35-7Roger Foster ran 63 yards for another score. Riverhead is in a three-way tie for the Division II lead with Half Hollow Hills West and Bellport. Smithtown West fell to 1-2. The Wave travels to Hills West today in a battle for first place. Kickoff is 4 PM.

Traditional powerhouse Sayville proved too much for Westhampton Beach to handle. The Golden Flashes ripped the locals 46-21 behind the wizardry of quarterback Jack Coan, who completed 21 of 25 passes good for 344 yards and four touchdowns. Sayville scored 21 unanswered points in the second half. The

Hurricanes, 2-2 in Division III, play at Comsewogue tomorrow night at 7 PM. Sayville is 3-0.

Southampton/Ross got in the win column after losing its first two games. Colby Lenehan and Andre Franklin each scored twice as The Mariners took out Stony Brook 35-18. Greenport/Southold plays at Southampton today at 4 PM. The Porters (1-2) were blasted by Bayport/Blue Point 32-0.

In other Division IV action undefeated Shoreham/Wading River crushed Hampton Bays 48-0. Babylon pounded Mercy 48-7.

Pizza And PJ’s

This Friday young visitors are invited to come to the Children’s Museum of the East End in their pajamas, have pizza, hear a story read in the museum’s library, and participate in an art activity.

Th is popular event a t Bridgehampton’s CMEE is free to members and $10 for non-members (includes admission). Advance signup is encouraged. The fun starts at 6 PM. Visit CMEE’s website at www.cmee.org or call 631-537-8250 for details.

Do Plants Think?

Do they make choices? Do they react to what they are feel-ing? Are plants intelligent? For decades, scientists have designed unique experiments to help an-swer these questions and, still, no one can agree. Folks at the South Fork Natural History Museum in Bridgehampton have learned that plants communicate, plants can sense the world around them and they react to what they ex-perience.

But how do they do all of this without a brain? All kids are welcome to come to the mu-seum on Sunday at 11 AM to ex-periment with plant intelligence and answer these questions for themselves. There is no scientific consensus on this, so it’s up to you to decide. Do plants think? To make a reservation call the museum at 631-537-9735.

A hand very similar to this one was played recently at the Water Mill Bridge Club. One South could see that she could lose a club and, if the diamond finesse lost, might also lose a diamond to the queen. But she also knew that the finesse was a 50-50 proposition. She also realized that if the trumps split 2-1, there was a better chance than the finesse.

Thus she won the ace of clubs and then tried the trump suit. After both players followed, she abandoned trumps to preserve the ten of spades in dummy. She then

played the king of diamonds and followed with the ace of that suit. Next she played the ace of hearts on which she discarded her small diamond. Then she led another diamond, which she trumped high in her hand.

Finally, she led a small trump to the saved ten in dummy, drawing the last trump from East. Now she could discard her small club on a winning diamond, making seven. Well played by South!
