By Kitty MerrillHe’s been a town supervisor
and a county legislator, but Jay Schneiderman hasn’t been a town board member . . . yet. This week he revealed he is mulling a run for a council seat -- in Southampton.
Schneiderman arrived on the political scene in 1999 when the
Where Will You Go, Jay-O?
Montauk native threw his hat into the ring as the Republican candidate for East Hampton Town Supervisor. He unseated incumbent Cathy Lester in a surprising win.
In 2003, after two terms at East Hampton’s helm, he again took on an incumbent and beat George
Guldi for his seat on the Suffolk County Legislature. He can’t make another run for the leg due to term limits.
Where does he go from there?“I have a couple of interesting
options and I’m keeping my mind open. I guess it’s better to have a lot of options than no options,” he said this week. “Inquiring minds want to know” what his plans are, Schneiderman related.
A run for East Hampton Town Supervisor? “I get this one a lot, but it’s not on my list right now,” he said. Two years ago, Schneiderman appeared poised for a run for his old seat, but ultimately decided against it, leaving Larry Cantwell to run unopposed.
With homes in both Montauk and Southampton (his kids live in the latter locale) Schneiderman could serve on the Southampton Town Board. “My kids are there and I spend a lot of time in Southampton, plus it’s been part of my [legislative] district, so I’ve been serving there for over 10 years,” he pointed out.
During the course of his service on the legislature, Schneiderman switched parties, following in the footsteps of Assemblyman Fred Thiele and registering as a member of The Independence Party. Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst is an Indy, too.
Explaining that he’d been approached about a run for town board in Southampton, Schneiderman drew the thread of potential out further. It was noted that he could run for supervisor in two years, when Throne-Holst leaves office due to term limits.
But a seat in Southampton isn’t the only iron Schneiderman’s got in the fire. He’s also eyeing the county treasurer position.
Coun t y g ove r nment c a n sometimes resemble a game of musical chairs. The treasurer position became vacant when veteran politico Angie Carpenter left office to serve as Islip Town Supervisor. She was appointed to fill the vacancy left when former supervisor Tom Croci left to serve in the state senate. He was elected to Lee Zeldin’s seat. Zeldin’s gone to Congress in Washington.
Schneiderman initially felt Joe Sawicki, who served as the county comptroller and was term limited, was a lock for the treasurer appointment. “I couldn’t compete with him.” Sawicki withdrew his name from consideration just last week and, said Schneiderman, “I let the county executive know I’m interested.”
Treasurer is an elected position, so whoever is appointed on an interim basis would have to run for the seat in a general election. If Schneiderman took the position, there could either be a special election for his seat on the legislature, or it could remain vacant for the rest of the year.
And who’s on tap to run for Schneiderman’s seat on the 2016 legislature? Springs resident Amos Goodman has already made a play for the Republican nomination. He’s got the support of the East Hampton Town GOP, but another name is being bandied about in neighboring Southampton.
Chris Nuzzi, who served on the town board until he was term-limited, is said to be courting support from the Conservative Party. And on the Democratic side, Bridget Fleming, currently a member of the Southampton Town Board, is a rumored possibility.
Whichever option he chooses, Schneiderman said he wants to stay involved in public service. He enjoys the feeling of accountability to the people he said, adding, “There’s something sacred about elected office that I like.”

I’m scared.Obama has decided to enable Iran
to make nuclear bombs.I’m very old, so it probably won’t
affect me, but I’ve got five wonderful kids and seven amazing grandkids and God knows how many great-grandkids I will have in the future and I’m scared for them.
Up until now all you good Democrats have told me how wrong I was when I said that Obama would be a disaster as a President.
In 2008 I wrote a column before Obama was sworn in for the first time that you all hated.
I said Israel would be destroyed and we were going to lose the Middle
TO ALL MY DEMOCRAT FRIENDS: PLEASE COME AND HOLD
MY HANDEast. I said Obama was going to destroy our armed forces and we would lose world respect and even Costa Rica was going to bully us.
Naturally many of you wrote in and defended Obama.
Heck, you so really believed in him that in 2012 you voted for him again.
OK, I surrender. Anything you believe about Obama is OK with me.
Benghazi was the fault of a cheap little film by an American filmmaker that offended Islam. OK.
On Monday, August 20, 2012, Barack Obama didn’t say Syrian President Bashar al-Assad should heed U.S. warnings on chemical
and biological weapons, lest he risk crossing a “red line” and provoke a U.S. military response. As it turns out, those of us who thought we saw Obama say that on television were mistaken, and as President Obama corrected us – even though his lips were moving – it was the world that said that, not Obama. OK.
I surrender and it’s fine with me that ISIS is only a “JV” team of terrorists. OK.
ISIS and terrorism have nothing to do with religion – it’s all about young men and poverty and lack of opportunity. OK.
If you say the words “Islamic religious terrorism” it will be giving ISIS recognition they don’t deserve, so it’s best not to ever say those words and to pretend they are just garden-variety terrorists with a proclivity for cutting off people’s heads. OK.
But let me tell you I need your help, my Democrat friends. I can’t believe President Obama is agreeing Iran should be free to make a nuclear bomb in about 10 years. Also, that Iran can keep its enriched uranium. Tell me, please tell me, my Democrat liberal friends, why I should not worry that Barack Obama wants to give nuclear bombs to Iran.
Am I the only person who believes this is a catastrophe?
So even as I write this I can’t believe it. Let me write it in all caps – maybe I will be less scared:
OBAMA WANTS TO ALLOW IRAN TO MAKE NUKES. YIKES.
In 10 years? I guarantee they will have them in two years.
Didn’t Obama say we must never
allow the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism to have the ultimate weapon? Does he really want to reward Iran for decades of criminal behavior and acts of war against America, Israel and others?
Does Obama really believe that Iran and the United States can now partner up and control the Middle East? Goodbye Israel, goodbye Saudi Arabia, goodbye Egypt, goodbye Jordan.
What are the odds that Islamic terror groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda and Boko Haram, will be getting the bomb to use against “The Great Satan,” as we were called before Obama and Iran became bosom buddies?
The Middle East and the world will become a nuclear nightmare.
Obama’s partner in crime is our dopey Secretary of State John Kerry, who every day is starting to look more and more like Abraham Lincoln’s ugly brother.
Kerry actually had the balls to say he and Obama deserved “the benefit of the doubt” as they make this “secret” deal.
So I’m asking you, Eddie, Ira, Cathie, Bill, Neil, Ken, all my great Democrat friends, to please write me and tell me that everything is going to be all right. That Barack Obama knows what’s best for us.
Just tell me that I’m in a panic for no good reason. Write me. Please.
I know all you great loyal Democrats can calm me down even if, when Obama announces the deal, he has the nerve to say now that Iran will be getting nukes we will have “peace in our time” and “IF YOU LIKE YOUR COUNTRY YOU CAN KEEP YOUR COUNTRY.”

The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation’s funded tumor dormancy team at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, (above, left to right, Julio Aguirre-Ghiso, Ph.D., Emily Bernstein, Ph.D., and Eduardo Farias, Ph.D.), along with other Mount Sinai researchers, have found a gene that serves as a master regulator of tumor cell behavior.
The researchers discovered that the gene NR2F1, when switched on, programs tumor cells to stay dormant. When the gene is switched off, tumor cells divide and multiply as part of abnormal growth, potentially allowing dormant cells to grow into tumors throughout the body (me-tastasis). Combining the anticancer drugs azacytidine and retinoic acid significantly increased the amount of active NR2F1 in tumor cells. These patterns were found in mouse models of several cancers, and confirmed in prostate cancer cells from human patients.
Results suggest that NR2F1 is a “master regulator” of tumor cell growth, influencing several genes that determine whether cells remain inactive, or quiescent in medical terms. According to the study, NR2F1 exerts control over long lasting programs in stem cells in the human embryo, where it directs cells to stop growing and become specialized cells (neurons) for life. This function suggests that NR2F1 may exert a long-lasting effect on tumor cells, keeping them dormant after they have broken off from an original tumor.
“Our results explain why some tumor cells scattered through the body are committed to remaining harmless for years, while others cause active disease,” said Julio A. Aguirre-Ghiso, PhD, Professor of Medicine, Hematology and Medical Oncology, and Otolaryngology at the Icahn School of Medicine. “In finding this master switch we found a way to analyze tumor cells before treatment to determine the risk of a cancer recurrence or metastasis.”
“Azacytidine and retinoic acid, the latter a form of vitamin A, pre-vented tumor cells from rapidly multiplying, restored normal cell function, and activated several tumor suppressor genes that are often turned off in tumors,” said study co-leader Maria Soledad Sosa, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in Hematology at the Icahn School of Medicine. “We now have strong evidence that combining these well-known drugs may have a profound, long-lasting therapeutic effect.”
The current study builds on the research team’s earlier finding that lowering amounts of tumor suppressor genes TGFβ2 and p38 awakened dormant tumor cells, fueling metastatic tumor growth. Azacytidine and retinoic acid restored TGFβ2 expression and p38 activation to drive tumor cell dormancy.

Remember summer? For some East Enders it means more traffic, more work, more money and a need for more stamina. For others, it means barbecues, sunset concerts, sipping mudslides and margaritas and – gulp – swimsuits. As the saying goes, summer bodies are made in winter. It’s not too late to

Sushi salad of sticky “rice” made with organic red quinoa and avocado. Served with cucumber coins, sweet pea shoots and a sushi dipping sauce – a menu selection on the 10-day cleanse.
A Detox That’s Simply Sublimeget ready.
And, since all the workouts in the world can’t undo an unhealthy diet, Simply Sublime Market and Juice Bar in East Hampton is your first stop on the road to wellness and svelte summer curves.
Owners Alison Burke and Juliette Logie have conceived a menu of cleanses they plan to offer each
month. Juice cleanses that can run anywhere from one to three days flush toxins out of the body and include a daily serving of two quarts of fresh squeezed juice, a quart of Master Cleanse lemonade (yum!) and a serving of raw nut milk.
Can’t bear the idea of going for days without chewing something? Simply Sublime presented a five-day quickie cleanse Logie described as “an eating cleanse.”
“It’s about giving your body a break from processed foods, sugar and caffeine” she explained. The Ayurvedic Elimination Cleanse uses vegan, alkaline-based food. You get a break from toxins, but no break from flavor.
“We like to spoil our customers on the cleanse,” Logie said, as she packed up the first day’s meals and juices. Breakfast is comprised of a quart of fresh-squeezed organic fruit and vegetable juice. Hard to find organic melon was on the menu that winter morning.
Lunch and dinner items are fresh, organic and easy to heat up. Sure, coworkers munching their chemical-laced ham and fake cheese on white bread sandwiches may mock your mashed millet and cauliflower, but once they get a whiff of the mushroom gravy, they change their tune. Don’t share with those non-believers. They don’t deserve to try your spaghetti squash with walnut pesto or butternut squash and coconut soup or sushi salad. And they sure don’t warrant
a sample of your dessert! Baked berry millet, apple salad, berry apple compote, and a magical vanilla mousse crafted with avocado make mouths water.
In addition to well-portioned meals, participants receive a quart of Master Cleanse Lemonade to sip throughout the day. A liver flush drink is added on day three. “Some people love it, some people hate it,” Logie reported. It’s definitely an acquired taste.
Culinary gladiators can choose to continue the cleanse after five days. A ten-day option relies on green foods like kale salad, sautéed spinach and roasted Brussels sprouts, plus an enticing edamame salad for the last three days to round out the vegan adventure. Desserts like coconut date balls are perfect treats to cap a detox day.
More energy, clear skin, and better digestion are just some of the benefits of the cleanses. Some people lose weight while others are happy just to get the caffeine monkey off their backs.
According to their website, Simply Sublime is committed to serving foods that “entice the taste buds and tickle the soul.” As with their daily menu specials, the cleanse fulfills the mission . . . and did we mention there’s no cooking? Just stop by the shop and you whole day’s food is ready to go.
Simply Sublime opens up next week. Visit their Springs Fireplace Road locale for details about the next cleanse.

Pocketbook ThiefSuffolk County Police have arrested
a man who stole pocketbooks from vehicles parked at horse farms in eastern Suffolk County.
The suspect targeted horse farms predominantly in Manorville and Southampton, and broke into vehicles parked at them to steal pocketbooks. The suspect would then use the credit cards that were in the pocketbooks to make purchases at various locations.
An investigation by detectives from the Seventh Squad and Southampton Town determined that Andre Berube, 37, of Blue Point was the man responsible for the thefts. He was arrested on February 27, at Sunrise Highway and Route 112 in East Patchogue.
Seventh Squad detectives charged Berube with six counts of Grand Larceny 4th Degree, and one count of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 5th Degree. Berube will be charged with multiple counts of Grand Larceny 4th Degree by Southampton Town Police. The investigation is continuing.

IRS Agent? NotA man claiming to be an IRS agent
looking to collect money contacted an Amagansett woman. It’s a fraud, folks - the IRS does not collect money via phone calls. The woman did not fall for the ruse, but police advised her to check her bank accounts and credit cards.

Hampton Bays Middle School students Jaden Ottati and Riley Tupper both got game.
The young basketball players, in seventh and eighth grades, respectively, both won the South Regional Elks National Hoop Shoot Competition up in Nanuet on February 7. The competition is a national free throw contest for youth ages eight to 13. More than three million boys and girls from across the country take part in the competition each year.
Ottati and Tupper, both New York State finalists in the free throw contest, will compete against three other regional champs (in their respective age groups) for a chance to become state champions on Saturday in Syracuse.
This is Ottati’s second consecutive year making it to the state finals. At last month’s competition, Ottati made 21 out of 25 free throws to qualify him for the next round.
When asked whether he was anxious or excited about the most recent competition, Ottati matter-of-factly responded, “a little bit of both.”
A point guard for the Hampton Bays junior high team, the 12-year old said he practices regularly working on his free throws and as well as other shooting regimens. He also is a pitcher, second baseman, and shortstop on the school’s junior high baseball team.
Last year, as a sixth grader, Ottati reached the New York State Elks

Kid Hoopsters Scoring BigLodge Competition at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, where he made 18 out of 25 free throws to place fourth in the 10 to 11 year old age bracket. After this year’s competition, he’ll have one year left where he’s eligible to compete.
In previous years, Tupper won the state championship as an eight year old and again as an 11 year old, according to her mother, Diane Tupper.
Riley, who now at 13 is in her last year of eligibility for this particular competition, “has been doing this since age eight,” Diane said.
“This year’s a little different,” she added, explaining how she and her husband will have to drive down to Washington D.C. to retrieve Riley, who will be on her school trip to the nation’s capital.
“You don’t understand this stuff until you’re a parent,” Diane said with a slight laugh. “She really wants to do it.”
Six winners from each of the 12 regions will compete at the Hoop Shoot National Finals held on April 18. That competition is slated to be
held in Springfield, Massachusetts, the birthplace of basketball.

Sergeant Susan Ralph has sued Southampton Town and the Police Department she works for, charging gender discrimination and alleging in court papers she was the subject of unwanted sexual advances by superiors on the force.
The suit comes at an inopportune time for the town; officials had hope a scandal that rocked the police department several years ago had receded into the background.
Police Sergeant Sues Southampton TownThe Suffolk County Police
Department Internal Affairs Unit launched an investigation in 2012, and was soon joined by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s own investigation.
“ [Ra lph ] was required to cooperate,” Peter J. Famighetti of the Melville-based law firm Famighetti $ Weinick, “Her complaint is she cooperated and her testimony was found to be credible.” Nevertheless, she was ostracized for doing so, court papers state.
The scandal began when Eric Sickles, an officer on the town’s Street Crimes unit, was accused of becoming addicted to prescription drugs and acting erratically. He was eventually allowed to return to duty after a long stint in a rehab facility, but six convictions based on his actions or testimonies were vacated, and half-dozen felons released from prison.
Town officials also went after Sickles’ direct supervisor, Lt. James Kiernan, who was accused by
them and the newly named police chief, William Wilson, of failure to properly supervise Sickles and allowing the officer to work and carry a weapon while high on painkillers.
T h a t i n v e s t i g a t i o n w a s muddied by political infighting: some town board members at the time, particularly Chris Nuzzi, a Republican, claimed the investigation into Kiernan’s actions were politically motivated: Kiernan was a Republican committeeman. He was eventually returned to active duty as well, but Wilson resigned under a barrage of criticism from Nuzzi and others.
Wilson, the former Southampton Village Police Chief, was brought in ostensibly to clean shop: the department’s Street Crime Unit had a reputation of operating with impunity and had angered area defense attorneys who claimed their clients couldn’t get a fair shake in court.
Ralph also maintained in court papers that former chief James Overton tried to kiss her on two occasions and that her superiors sent her sexually explicit emails.
Famighetti said the case isn’t centered on sexual harassment as reported elsewhere. “It happened, but this case is about retaliation.” Ralph claims she was ostracized

The Southold Historical Society is hosting an exhibition that discusses the changing streetscape of Main Road in Southold during the 19th century. “Hobbling Through Southold” will open to the public on Saturday, March 21, at the Cosden-Price Gallery in the Reichert Family Center at 54127 Main Road, Southold.
The exhibit is based upon a series of articles that were published in the Long Island Traveler newspaper in 1898. The articles went by the byline “Hobbles” when they were first published and were composed of the memories of at least two older men who called themselves “The Old Traveler Boys.” Both men had grown up in Southold and used their memories to paint a picture of how Main Road had changed during their lifetimes, particularly since 1848.
At least one of the men involved in creating the original newspaper columns is known. His name was
Main Road Through The Years
Independent/ Courtesy Southold Historical Society
Main Road, Southold, Looking East, early 1900s.
J. Horton Case (1830-1904). He was a farmer and lived on Main Road next door to the Cleveland-Gagen Blacksmith shop (present location of Jasmine Lane). Later in life he worked for local newspapers and as a fertilizer dealer.
“The kind of information they impart is invaluable as it would be almost impossible to find from other published sources,” stated Geoffrey K. Fleming, Director of the Society.
There was news of the property of Michael Stelzer, located just west of the present day Wayside Market, and a terrible outbreak of disease, which nearly wiped out his entire family. As one of the articles noted “Next we come to Michael Steltzer’s who in 1811 lost in one week seven children between the ages of nine months and 10 years to diphtheria. In one afternoon there were brought to his house four coffins to receive his dead.”
The exhibit will include panels with descriptions from the articles, as well as map locations and period photographs of the buildings discussed by the men. While some of these buildings still stand, many others have been altered or demolished over the years. “For those not familiar with the different buildings that once graced
Main Road, this will be a good chance to learn much more about them,” continued Fleming.
The exhibit will be on display from March 21 through May 2, 2015, Thursday to Saturday, 1 to 4 PM. For more contact the Southold Historical Society at 631-765-5500 or visit www.southoldhistoricalsociety.org.

Happy Anniversary to You!
Happy Anniversary to You!
Happy Anniversary to You!
I am saddened by the death of Leonard Nimoy. To me, like so many converted Trekkies, he wasn’t merely an actor – he was Spock.
Of course, lost in the remorse is the fact that the “Star Trek” TV show was a bomb long before it became cool. First of all, it was shoddily made. The “boulders” on the planets were papier mâché, and a couple of times they would move when Spock or Kirk brushed against them. Some of the controls on the Enterprise looked like Tinker Toys. Ratings were abysmal. Only losers watched the show.
Live To An Old Age And Become WealthyI know — I was there. Let’s
get real - no healthy 16-year old kid watched “Star Trek” or read science fiction. The kids in my Brooklyn neighborhood who did so were acne-scarred weirdoes whose lives centered on comic book heroes. They were kind of like the characters on “Big Bang” except they weren’t smart and they didn’t have real jobs.
No “Trekkie” could get a job as a teenager, even if it was at the supermarket. Employers realized instinctively that they were anti-social misfits capable of snapping
at any time. You don’t want to be around when a Trekkie goes mental, believe me.
Speaking of “Big Bang,” has anyone else noticed the girls are much too good-looking for the nerdy guys? On what planet would a knockout like Penny (Kaley Cuoco) go out with a short, dumpy loser like Leonard? Girls like Kaley dated the quarterback of the football team or ultra witty cool kids like myself. How about Bernadette and Howard? Has anyone else noticed Bernadette has a bitchin’ body and Howard has a 16-inch waist? A little guy like Howard would never be able to mount a girl like Bernadette – he’d hurt himself.
The only feasible way these ugly dudes score is because they are doctors. Even I have to admit there is something cool about being a doctor, mainly the paycheck. Babes love them, though, that’s why, when
I was single, I would tell girls that I was a doctor. In fact, I would tell them I was a gynecologist.
Let’s face it. Sixteen year-old boys holed up in their basements with stacks of comic books watching “Star Trek” were cause for concern. I, for one, was not allowed to hang out with any kid with severe acne. While these types rotted away in their dank basements thinking about perverted things the healthy boys in the neighborhood – stud muffins like myself - went about the business of leading productive lives by drinking, smoking, fighting, cursing and stealing cars.
“Star Trek” was canceled in 1969. There is a correlation between its rebirth and the psychedelic era, because I believe the nerds who were the original Trekkies became hippies. They grew their hair long and grew beards, as did the normal guys. Soon, the nerds were interchangeable and they walked among us, siphoning off perfectly good-looking babes who in another time wouldn’t even consider dating losers like them.
This was the beginning of the end for Western Civilization.
Years later, the children of these Trekkies, nerds like Leonard and Wolowitz, upended the natural order of progression by reproducing with women far above them in the pecking order.
(It should be noted only Cooper stays true to his upbringing by dating an equally nerdy girl, Amy Farrah Fowler.)
And so it came to pass Spock rose from the ashes of a burnt out, second rate television series and became not only a household name, but also somewhat of a sex symbol, despite the pointy ears. Had he lived in Flatbush when I was growing up I wouldn’t have been allowed to hang out with him.
There is a small part of me that continues to resolutely believe we haven’t seen the end of him. Spock has been in some tough spots before, and even after death somehow managed to return for another movie (and another paycheck).
He is already a cliché. I have read scores of news stories, obits, or columns about Nimoy’s passing. Every single one – every damn one – had titles like “He Will Live Long And Prosper, Beam Me Up To Heaven or some crack about how it was illogical that he died. What an embarrassment. Is there anyone left in this business who can write a paragraph that isn’t cliché-ridden?
But I digress.Spock once said, “I have never
understood the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question.” He was a very smart half-man.

End the Torture -- Permanently
We applaud East Hampton Village’s decision to suspend its barbaric deer sterilization program and though village leaders say it is a temporary measure, we urge them to make it permanent.
Moreover, we urge other communities mulling the same sort of program to do their homework and listen to more than the representatives from Wildlife Rescue Inc. of Maryland and White Buffalo Inc., of Connecticut.
As reported previously and exclusively in The Independent, the Village Board, though well meaning, was not privy to all the facts and instead relied on a presentation from groups that purposely or not hid the whole truth.
There is a wealth of data available to anyone who wants all the facts and we urge the village to take a hard look before taking further action.
For example, a 2012 Cornell University Study concluded there is, ”increased vehicle mortality for sterilized female deer” and suggested increased non-maternal movement as a possible cause. The village was told the opposite.
According to Cornell, “Female deer receiving tubal ligation surgery will experience repeated estrous cycles during winter and spring. Consequently, females may attract more bucks into their home range, which may increase deer-vehicle collision or rubbing damage to valuable ornamental plantings.” Again, the village did not receive – or chose to ignore – this information.
There have been instances when the sterilization program has worked – almost all of them in controlled environments. In other words, there are no fences around East Hampton Village: deer wander in and out, perhaps a thousand or more each
year. Where migration is present, the effectiveness of this program is neutralized.Worse, several field studies have proven in areas where there are “treated” females
there is an increased reproduction rate in untreated females.The program will not work, and we urge the Village Preservation Society to do more
research before donating more money to the village for the sterilization program. Let us be clear what happens here; does are trapped in the middle of the night, they are cut open, they are aborted and fixed, and they are immediately released back into the wild. Any assertion that this is “safe and humane” is nothing short of ridiculous.
By the way, Dr. Anthony DeNicola, whose firm White Buffalo was hired by the village to run the program, has, according to published reports, “Bragged that he’s killed 10,000 deer.” Is this the kind of “non–lethal” solution the village board and our preservation society had in mind?
White Buffalo wants a multi-year commitment from the village. Of course it does – we’re paying a lot of money to them. According to environmentalists and the DEC, the deer population is being reduced this year: by the bad weather – that’s Mother Nature’s way. Any reduction in the village will be incidental, in line with other East End communities, and have nothing to do with the first stage of the sterilization. Let’s make it the first and last.
East Hampton Town, meanwhile, has initiated a 4-poster feeding system that is designed to feed deer “bait” that will kill ticks. It can reduce tick-related diseases significantly.
The village, flush with money to address the deer “problem,” should try the 4-poster program out as well.
Historic GameDear Rick,
Your article speaking to that great 1968 Mariners team highlighted Foots Walker. You forgot to mention Ron Baxter, in my opinion the main cog on that team. Baxter set a playoff record at the Long Island Arena in the semi-finale playoff game against a tall Amityville team scoring 42 points.
Today, it would have been 70 points, as all his jump shots were from three-point range. Also, the Mariners played a non-league game at Bellport that year. A player by the name of Randy Smith was on that Bellport team. Smith went on to a great career in the NBA. Baxter scored 41
points that night and Smith had 41. What a game! Foots chipped in with 32.
I would like to see Ron Baxter get some acknowledgement. In the county final that year at the Long Island Arena against that great Pierson team and Bobby Vacca, Southampton prevailed in a tough battle. That historic game being the only time two East End teams ever played for the overall Suffolk County Championship.
JIM SHERRYEditor’s Note: Baxter was indeed the
heart and soul of the 1968 team – if memory recalls he was a senior and the team captain while Foots was a sophomore.
Threat LevelDear Editor,
I t d e f i e s u n d e rs ta n d i n g t h a t Congressional gridlock is threatening funding for the Department of Homeland
Security.The threat level of terroristic attack
increases every day, with an Internet threat on a mall in Wisconsin just the latest example. That Congress will not approve funding for DHS due to some ridiculous political squabbling is simply outrageous. The lives of the citizens of the United States are at stake.
A halt in funding for the Department of Homeland Security would also imperil the substantial funding Suffolk County receives for its joint law enforcement efforts with DHS. Grants from DHS to various county departments including Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services and the Suffolk County Police Department are estimated at nearly $8 million in 2014. That funding is a substantial help to Suffolk County in mounting its successful law enforcement efforts. A DHS shutdown could cut continued funding that is
essential to public safety.It is time for Washington to act and to
act now. We are under direct threat and we need to provide the maximum protection our residents expect and deserve. I never thought I’d hear myself saying this, but if Congress does not act, throw the bums out.

believe and make a scientific claim to a scientific enigma, suggest a scientific reason for it, one need not be a scientist to accept their overwhelming scientific conclusion. No “buts” about it.
It is claimed by these deniers that they also have scientific proof disproving those conclusions that Climate Change is real and is largely due to human contribution.
One of those renegade scientist myth busters is Willie Soon, a researcher at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
A supposed research study by this independent scientist has been presented by our “not a scientist” contingent proving the non existence of Climate Change as well as the factors contributing to it. However, GREENPEACE through the Freedom of Information filings discovered it revealed that Wei-Hock Soon over the last 10 to 14 years has received without disclosing the funding, $1.25 million dollars from Exxon Mobile, Southern Company, the American Petroleum Institute (API), the coal industry and (no surprise) a foundation run by the ultra-conservative Koch brothers, the largest single funder of “scientist” Soon’s “research” work and the greatest profiteers. His study showed all the scientific proof of negative Climate Change that money could buy. So much for the disclaimers.
As for those three percent of unconvinced scientists, the study found their average expertise is far below that of their colleagues, as measured by publications and citation rates.
Perhaps as more of these paid for scientific opinions are exposed, even the, “I’m not a scientist but . . .”ers will start thinking with their brains and conscience and not with their butts.
NICHOLAS ZIZELIS
Overly EnergeticDear Editor,
According to the White House, we must understand that the terrorists have grievances against us. It is not simply that we are the infidels who must be slaughtered in the name of Islam. It is because the terrorists do not have jobs and opportunity. That is the reason why they wish to continue to decapitate us.
Okay, I get it. The good news is that I am pleased to know that the White House is open to its consideration of grievances because I have a couple of my own. Still, I wonder, will the White House listen to me,
a citizen, and a simple patriot who wishes death for no one?
My biggest grievance concerns the diminishment of freedom in America. I am not going to cite the specifics. The greatest fear of our Founding Fathers was that the federal government would become the center of the universe of life in America. Simply put, our individual freedom is diminished as federal power increases. In the equation of Democracy, the more power the government has, the less power people have. Jefferson said, “I own that I do not like an overly energetic government. It is always oppressive.” It is my estimation of things political, that we have “an overly energetic government.” Consequently, I feel “oppressed.”
Grievance number two is our national debt. I see great danger in maintaining such debt. It encompasses a threat to our national security and to our domestic
well being.But, my bigger grievance is that we
created a burden that we will be leaving to future generations. In my book, that is not fair, for fixing the debt problem will not be any easier to resolve in the future. Frankly, we should be ashamed of ourselves for putting future generations at such great risk and peril.
So, above are two of my grievances against Washington and mi l l ions of Americans, just like me, have their grievances too. That is why there is such unease in our country.
My hope is that when we take action against a government that no longer holds true to the ideals of our founding fathers, the White House understands our grievances and has empathy for our trying to right the wrong that exists today in America.

What television shows do you watch?
Michael CardacinoI don't watch much TV. Some on demandshows. It seems like they just rehash all theawful things going on in the world and feed itback to us. No manna for my soul there. It'smeaningless. “Mickey Mouse” is the last thing Iremember really loving. It delighted me as achild.
Diana Rozzi“Law and Order,” “SVU Special Victims Unit”.And I also watch “Bates Motel.” Every episodeis different and the crime scenes are reallyintense. I like the mystery of it. The puzzle of it.I like to try to solve the puzzle while I’mwatching.
Daniel DuahI like a new show called “The Real.” It'ssomething like “The View.” The panel is madeup of a group of women speaking about thingsthey're feeling or thinking. They don't holdback. And they help people who write to theshow with difficult situations in their lives.
Wilson StoneI watch channel 97. I like the channel becauseit shows those old movies. They're tried andtrue. I like basically everything on there, fromFred Astaire movies to the John Wayne movies.Other than that I don't watch a lot of television.

Tomorrow evening hearings on four proposed regulations designed to address years of complaints about aircraft noise will be held at LTV Studios in Wainscott. If adopted as written, the four proposals would:
• ban all helicopters on weekends during the summer season
• enact a mandatory curfew from 11 PM to 7 AM
• create an extended curfew from 8 PM to 9 AM for noisy aircraft, and
• limit noisy aircraft operations to one trip per week during the summer.
“The proposed l oca l l aw follows several years of analyses, studies, public outreach and community meetings, technical outreach and discussions with stakeholders,” airport liaison Kathee Burke-Gonzalez said in a release announcing the proposed regs. She opined the proposals are closely tailored to the town’s needs, no more restrictive than absolutely necessary, and based on objective data.
While substantially reducing the number of aircraft noise complaints, the proposals will have just a “modest” effect on town operations, the councilwoman contends. Town-hired consultants said the proposed rules will affect 31 percent of operations while addressing 74 percent of all complaints.
Those in the aviation industry disagree. They question the town’s legal authority to impose restrictions at the airport and the FAA’s authority to waive grant assurances.
Airport Hearing Lands TomorrowPro-aviation representatives look askance at the argument that the restrictions won’t have a negative effect on local businesses and question the notion that all the necessary repairs and maintenance at the facility can be undertaken without using FAA grants.
Also concerned are Montauk residents who fear traffic will shift to their hamlet if restrictions are enacted.
On the other side, hundreds of homeowners whose houses are under chopper flight paths have been crying out for relief.
Over the years, residents from Southold and Southampton Town, plus their elected officials, joined with East Hampton residents with homes under the flight path, have beseeched the town board to quell the incessant din.
Initially pleased by the proposals, those favoring quiet skies have spoken in opposition to revisions that target some, but not all noisy aircraft. They fear seaplane traffic could increase since the restrictions apply to the noise metrics of jets and helicopters. Supporters want to see the law revised to include noisy turboprop and piston aircraft.
The hearing at LTV Studios in Wainscott is slated to begin at 4:30 PM.
Rennert Loses In CourtIra Rennert, the owner of a huge and controversial mansion in
Sagaponack, was found guilty of milking a company he controlled – and using at least some of the money to build the 29 bedroom mansion.
Last week a jury ruled Rennert drove Magnesium Corporation of America into bankruptcy by using is company, Renco Group, to illegally siphon over $100 million from Mag Corp.
Jurors found Rennert personally liable for over $16 million and Renco liable for $100 million. Lawyers for Renco and Rennert said they would appeal.
The 64,389 square foot mansion dubbed Fair Field, built on 63 waterfront acres, also contains numerous outbuildings.
During the 90s neighbors who opposed the project worried it might become some kind of teaching center or retreat house – Rennert is a noted philanthropist with close ties to Jewish charities and organizations.
While his supporters make note of his generosity Rennert has been harshly criticized for controlling companies that are among the nation’s worst polluters. In fact, in 2001, the Department of Justice filed suit against Mag Corp. for multiple violations of hazardous waste law. The EPA ranked Renco’s holdings as the nation’s 10th largest polluter.

It’s not often you see more than 1700 people from Southampton and Bridgehampton in one place, especially 60 miles away from here.
Time was, when the Southampton and Bridgehampton boys basketball teams faced off it was a common occurrence. Every year, a rivalry that spanned the better part of a century played out on the court. When Southampton moved to another league, the two teams went their separate ways.
No one imagined a rematch of this magnitude would take place. In this corner, the Southampton Mariners, winners of 19 of 20 games, the Suffolk County Class B champions and the second ranked B team in the state.
And in that corner : The Bridgehampton Killer Bees, also 19-1, the County D champs and top ranked D team in the state. They were moving up in class to take on the larger school in the county tournament, but it was really for much more: bragging rights, and that means a whole lot in these two East End basketball hotbeds.
The February 27 matchup was played at Walt Whitman High School in Huntington Station. That did not deter the locals from supporting their teams. Carloads of loyalists began showing up hours before game time. The Whitman parking lot filled up, and cars were parked behind the school down alleyways, along the fences, even on a ramp leading to the basement.
Mariners Earn Bragging Rights And BCD CrownIn the end Southampton robbed
the fans of the anticipated drama, running off in the second half to a comfortable 59-34 victory.
Bridgehampton forged to the early lead behind the scoring of Charles Manning Jr., who scored nine first quarter points. Southampton edged ahead by three at halftime.
Then the Mariners found their sea legs.
As the second half progressed, though, it became apparent that Southampton’s big men, Nasies Fulford and Isaiah Johnson, were the dominant forces in the paint. Bridgehampton went cold, and when they missed, the two senior stalwarts from Herm Lamison’s team were there to grab the rebounds.
Southampton, parked in a 3-2 zone, had found the Bees’ weak link.
In the fourth quarter, forced to play catch up, the Bees started bombing away from three-point land – with disastrous results. The team made only three of 24 in the game, and most of those possessions were one and done — either Fulford or Johnson were there to grab the errant shots.
Simply put, the Mariners exerted their will on the younger Bees – all of the starters are underclassman.
Fulford ended up with 20 and 14 rebounds: Johnson tallied 20 and grabbed a dozen boards. Manning led the Bees with 16.
B o t h t e a m s m o v e o n : Southampton will play for the Suffolk ABCD title Monday and play
a regional semifinal game in the State Class B tournament Tuesday at LIU Post. The Bees play in the state D tournament regional finals March 16. Both teams are legitimate title contenders.
In the old days the games could get pretty heated. They were usually moved to Southampton College to
accommodate the crowds, and a few times, a basketball game broke out at in fights.
On this night fans from both sides greeted each other with smiles and hugs as they exited the gym. It was as if old adversaries, nostalgic for the past, remembered just how much they meant to each other.
By Rick Murphy
The Southampton Mariners just keep winning.
Their latest victim, Bayport/Blue Point, figured to prevail. After all, BBP is the Suffolk County Class A champion and the Class B Mariners were moving up in class to challenge the larger school.
No problem. The Mariners moved to 21-1 on the season, using a strong second half and a punishing defense to upend the Phantoms 67-53.
The Mariners now move up yet again -- to challenge Brentwood for the overall county title. The only other East End school to ever pull off that feat in the modern era
Southampton Soars To County Small Schools Title
was East Hampton five years ago. No Class B team has ever beaten a Class AA team in county playoff history, though Class AA is relatively new. Old-timers will remember Southampton won the county title three times in the sixties.
The Brentwood/Southampton game is Friday at Walt Whitman High School at 5PM. Win or lose, Southampton enters the New York State Class B tournament next Tuesday with a matchup against Malverne at LIU Post at 6PM. The winner will be crowned Long Island Class B champion.

Phantoms, just as they did Class D champ Bridgehampton in the BCD game. And for the second straight game it was 6-foot, 3-inch Isaiah Johnson doing most of the damage.
Bayport/Blue Point hung tight in the first half, the two teams knotted at 32 at the buzzer. But Johnson and company tightened up their perimeter defense and Johnson and Naises Fulford took control of
the boards.Johnson ended up with 28 points
and 12 rebounds. Fulford chipped in with 11 points and eight rebounds. Zach Cummings also scored 11 points. Israel Johnson, Isaiah’s brother, recorded eight rebounds, eight assists, and five steals.
Looking down the road, if Southampton prevails against Malverne the team will play March 14 at Farmingdale State College against an opponent yet to be determined. A win there will propel the locals to Glens Falls the following weekend for the State Final Four tournament.
Bridgehampton will play a regional Class D Final on March 13 against a yet to be determined opponent. A win will send the Bees upstate the final weekend for the State Class D tournament.
On the girls’ side of the ledger, Hampton Bays, the County Class B champion, was to play for the Small Schools title last night. If the Baywomen won they will get a shot
at the overall county title. Win or lose, the locals will play Carle Place at LIU Post Monday at 6 PM for the Long Island Class B crown and a trip upstate to the State tournament.
