Sag Harbor native and fallen U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Jordan Haert-er along with fellow marine, Corpo-ral Jonathan Yale, were honored last week with a dedication ceremony, which saw a North Carolina marine base dining hall renamed for the two fallen heroes.
Nearly 100 people attended the ceremony at Camp Lejeune, which included two platoons of 48 marines representing Yale and Haerter’s respective battalions, while the 8th Marine Regiment renamed the Wal-lace Creek Dining Hall for the two marines who died protecting their own in April 2008.
“Marines recognize marines,” said JoAnn Lyles, Haerter’s mother. “There’s something to be said about that.”
Lyles added before leaving Sag Harbor for the Camp Lejeune cer-emony, she was contacted by another marine, Lance Corporal Daniel Mc-Mahon, from her hometown who sent her pictures of the chow hall, where he’ll eat every day.
“He was the first one to ‘show’ it to me,” Lyles recalled.
Chow Hall Named For Fallen HeroesCpl. Yale, an anti-tank missile man
with the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, originally from Burkeville, Virginia and Lance Cpl. Haerter, a rifleman with 1st Battalion, 9th Ma-rine Regiment, were killed April 22, 2008 while providing security at a ve-hicle checkpoint in Ramadi, Iraq. The two marines were protecting a guard post when a truck loaded with 2000 pounds of explosives began speeding toward the gate they were defending. Yale and Haerter opened fire at the
truck, causing it to explode before it reached the gate. About 50 marines and 100 Iraqi policemen were saved due to their actions.
The two were posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, the mili-tary’s second highest honor, for heroism in November 2008 and were also both recipients of the Purple Heart.
Lyles said everybody was happy about the renamed chow hall, not-ing the hall was built to be energy
efficient, complete with LED light-ing products. “It’s pretty high tech,” Lyles said.
According to Marine Corps spokesman 1st Lieutenant Adam Flores, the chow hall will seat about 200 people and will also contain copies of the marines’ Navy Cross citations.
“It’s a part of the marines his-tory,” Lyles said of the newly named dining hall, “and they’re very proud of that history.”

He adored his children and one look could tell they worshiped him. He loved making new friends – especially lady friends. He loved dining out, live music, dancing, and partying, but perhaps, most of all, Carl Darenberg, Jr. loved Montauk.
The body of the owner of the Montauk Marine Basin was found in the water off Uilhlein’s Marina on Monday morning. Circumstances surrounding the death of a man called the unofficial Mayor of Montauk were still under investigation as The Independent went to press. No foul play was suspected.
Born on Apr i l 26 , 1950 , Darenberg, Jr. was all about the hamlet where he grew up. His father, Carl, Sr. bought the marina in the 1950s and even as a little boy Carl, Jr. worked there. His mother, Vivian Tuma, was born in Montauk.
Affectionately dubbed “Mr. Montauk” by friends, Darenberg, Jr. attended Montauk School and East Hampton High School. He travelled to Florida for college but returned home to help when a fire destroyed the marina. After his father’s passing in 2010 he took MMB’s helm, working alongside his two children Courtney and Chase.
The news travelled fast on social media Monday morning, with scores
Carl Darenberg, Jr., 64
Independent / Kitty Merrill
Carl Darenberg, Jr. when he was named the Montauk Chamber of Commerce Man of the Year in 2012.
of friends offering condolences and reflections about Darenberg Jr. on his Facebook Page. That’s no surprise, since his page boasted over 3200 friends and 70 followers, many of whom checked his site to find out where the action was on any given evening. If he checked in at a local bar or restaurant, friends were sure to show up.
His posts detailed what seemed like a never-ending swirl of fine dining and revelry. He was a constant presence at many local nightspots, generous with an offer to pick up the tab and supportive of local musicians. If there was dancing, he was first on the floor, with his camera at the ready to capture the fun.
But there was more to the man than nighttime frolic. Darenberg, Jr. was a tireless champion of his beloved hometown. A long time member of the chamber of commerce, where he served as treasurer, and for almost a quarter century on its executive board, Darenberg, Jr. spearheaded the creation of the annual Old Timers Dinner, designed to keep Montauk’s rich fishing history alive. His Facebook page often boasted an array of archival photos of denizens of the harbor’s history.
Last year he conceived and hosted the first annual Montauk
Seafood Festival at the Marine Basin to highlight dishes from area restaurants and offer a shoulder season platform for local musicians. He’s been a fixture at the annual Columbus weekend fall festival on the green and was most often seen hauling huge pots of chowder for the yearly contest. He was a founding member of the advocacy group, Montauk Citizens Voice.
In 2012 Darenberg, Jr. presided over the history making Shark’s Eye Tournament – an all catch and release fishing tournament. Interviewed that year, Darenberg, Jr. said he was proud his marina was the first in Montauk to implement changes to conserve the fisheries and help those less fortunate. Over the prior decade Montauk Marine Basin donated hundreds of pounds of shark meat to Long Island Cares to feed the hungry.
In addition to those events he organized, benefits and community parties where Darenberg wasn’t at the top of the guest list or first in line for tickets and support were few and far between; he never said no when asked for help. In 2012 the Montauk Chamber named him their Man of the Year.
“If ever there was a man who epitomized “joie de vivre” it was my friend Carl. He lived every day with a gusto and spirit that was larger than life,” chamber president Paul Monte said in a post on Darenberg Jr.’s page Monday. “It was a joy, an honor and a pleasure to know him, work with him and call him my friend.”
Out of town friends called him their “window” into what was happening in Montauk. When movie or television film crews, like the one from “Royal Pains,” wanted to shoot in the Lighthouse District,
they called him for location ideas. “Montauk will never be the
same,” Legislator Jay Schneiderman, a Montauk resident, said Monday, echoing a sentiment offered repeatedly on Darenberg, Jr’s Facebook page. “His big smile was so infectious. I think that’s how everybody will remember him.”
Fo r m e r N e w Yo r k S t a t e Assemblyman John Behan, also a Montauk resident, posted, “I have known him his whole life and to say he was a good man is not enough to say how much he is loved by Montauk.”
As Monday wore on and more and more grief–stricken friends expressed shock and loving remembrances, Catherine Ecker Flanagan has this to say, “There aren’t too many people that can leave this life with only goodwill and joy as their legacy, what an amazing epitaph. Peaceful rest Carl Darenberg, you created a lot of smiles in your well-deserved role of Mr. Montauk. Carl supported every good work, organization, and event in this town. He was Montauk’s answer to Hugh Hefner, always surrounded by a sea of ladies with room for one more. He captured in photos the heartbeat of Montauk at play. Heaven surely has gained a cruise director like no other. A big loss to this community. Bless Carl’s family and his many, many friends. He will be missed...”
The Independent joins with Carl’s multitude of friends and loved ones to offer condolences to his family, and the community, at the loss of a local legend.

It all started early one morning on Amagansett Main Street. Wildlife photographer Dell Cullum, who in the last year has been on a one man anti-litter crusade capturing ugly shots of debris strewn at some of East Hampton’s most beautiful beaches and nature trails, came upon garbage spilling across the sidewalks in front of Jack’s Stir & Brew coffee shop.
He spoke to the staff, asking them to police their area and it wasn’t long before he was contacted by Jack himself. Cullum and Jack Mazzola met and on Memorial Day weekend, accompanied by staff from the coffee shop, picked up trash on Main Street from Miss Amelia’s Cottage to St. Peter’s Church and back. “These people worked all day and were more than happy to get into this cleanup,” Cullum posted on Facebook, where he chronicles the effort to make East Hampton litter free.
That initial outing morphed into Jack’s Coffee Summer Sunday Beach Sweep. Each Sunday morning local volunteers and Jack’s staff met, not long after sunrise, to clean an area beach.
Upping the ante, Cullum and the Amagansett Chamber of Commerce started a contest. Who can pick up the most trash during the Sunday sweep? For five weeks volunteers’ hauls were weighed and this Sunday the winner will be announced at the ‘Gansett Trash Bash held from noon to 5 PM at Miss Amelia’s cottage on Main Street.
Hosted by the Amagansett Chamber of Commerce and Cullum’s

Volunteers have been holding beach sweeps and trash cleanups in Amagansett all summer. This Sunday their culminating event is called the “’Gansett Trash Bash.”
Trash Bash On Tapwebsite ImaginationNature.com, the event kicks off the off-season volunteer trash pick up season and is designed to bring awareness to the community and, according to Cullum, use Amagansett as the example for a trash free mentality throughout East Hampton Town.
A handful of local musicians including David Trotta, Klyph Black, Job Potter & Friends, Red Tide, The Montauk Project, and Katherine C.H.E. are slated to perform, with Rocc On DJ keeping the air full of music in between sets. Dozens of area businesses have donated prizes for the Trash Bash winner, and there are a variety of activities planned for the kiddies, too.

A few years ago I discovered the secret of life while waiting on a supermarket checkout line.
I was standing third on line, behind a woman who appeared to be doing her final shop before global warming ends life on our planet. She had 10 of every item in the store in her shopping carts.
Behind her stood a mean-looking 300-pound woman who was twice the size of Rosie O’Donnell but looked only half as mean. She had her basket filled to the brim with God knows how many quarts of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.
It was going to be a long haul. So my eyes wandered over to the selection of available checkout-counter reading material. That’s
THE SECRET OF LIFEwhen I spotted it on the rack between a tabloid that was promising me news of a new miracle pill that could melt my cellulite overnight and a booklet titled “The Miracle of Garlic and Vinegar.”
The booklet that caught my eye said nothing about a miracle. It simply was titled in big bold red letters:
“STARTING OVER: How To Begin Again After Breakup, Divorce or Loss of a Loved One.”
I reached for the book and what happened was not unlike the scenes in that horrible television show of the 90s, “Touched by an Angel,” when the hero finally reaches heavenly stardom. The blinding
supermarket florescent lights (which we will some day find cause skin cancer in mice) prevented me from seeing the heavenly glow that had engulfed me the second my fingers touched the booklet. But I know from what followed that I was bathed in celestial light.
The little teenage checkout girl, who looked like she had lost a wrestling match with a bottle of Clearasil, saw it first and said, “That’s a wonderful book. My mother just read it.”
Miss “I have to stock up on food because when the world comes to an end I’m going out with a full stomach” gave me a shy smile that said, “You poor dear, I know how lonely you must be.”
Then this Rosie O’Donnell look-alike turned and sweetly whispered, “Sometimes a book like that can make all the difference in the world.” The invitation to have a sexy Rocky Road or a Cherry Garcia nightcap was dancing in her eyes.
What a discovery! I realized that had I been available I could meet thousands of women who would take the “Starting Over” title as an invitation to start a relationship. Best of all, I would never have to open the book and read a word of the feel-good tripe inside of it. There’s something about the title that gives total strangers permission to hit on you.
Take the book to a park, to a beach. Read it on airplanes. I tell
you, it works every time.I’ve thought about building a
website called Startingover.com that would give Match.com, and all those other “Meet the person of your dreams” sites, a run for their money.
The fact is that both sexes are looking for any sign that the person they have just met is alive and eligible. When a woman meets a man the first thing she does is look at his left hand to see if he’s wearing a wedding ring. When a man meets a woman the first thing he looks at are her breasts. Therein lies the difference between men and women.
The wedding ring is not an effective barrier to deter men who want to deceive. I’ve known hundreds of men, maybe thousands, who have, with little practice, been able to carry on a conversation with a woman at a bar or cocktail party while removing a tight wedding ring from their finger, with the same hand the finger is on. This is done while the left hand is casually resting in a pants or jacket pocket. I’ve known men, albeit extremists, who have carried bronzers on business trips merely to color that telltale part of their ring finger where the sun never shines.
I can’t help but think if I had found the book “Starting Over” 30 years ago I would be dead of exhaustion now. Dead but very, very happy.

What’s the worst part about living under a flight path? This week officials in East Hampton will be compiling data from surveys handed out during last week’s forum on airport noise, with an eye towards prioritizing complaints and attempting to find solutions.
Nearly 400 East End residents came out to Wainscott to express their v iews about the local airport and its impacts on their neighborhoods. Almost two-dozen elected officials from both forks were on hand, as were state and county representatives.
Complaints about the airport are nothing new. In recent years, as its popularity surged among well-heeled visitors looking to avoid the Sunrise Highway logjam, the skies above the forks have been incessantly abuzz with jets and helicopters. Most East Hampton Town Board meetings in recent years have seen community members at the podium detailing the disruption of their lives caused by the never-ending cacophony of helicopters.
What is new are the disparate
Airport Noise: A Forum And A Formneighborhoods effected by the din, as officials attempted to mitigate noise by changing the voluntary routes pilots use. Most recently North Fork residents have railed against air traffic over their homes. News that a contingent of community members planned to attend one of the town board’s regular meetings prompted the special forum.
For yea r s Eas t Hampton administrations have said that grant assurances with the Federal Aviation Administration limit their power to regulate traffic at the airport. Speakers at the forum urged the town board to reject future FAA grants in order to gain control that would allow East Hampton to implement such restrictions as curfews and limiting the number of crafts – especially helicopters – that can land. Some of the existing grant assurances are due to time out at the end of the year.
In furtherance of developing solutions to the noise problem, airport liaison Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez told the crowd at the forum her focus would be on gathering data about where
and when the problem is the worst and what actions the town can take within the limits of the law.
Hence the survey. Respondents were asked to list what town and neighborhood they live in, then check boxes that articulate their greatest concerns. Excessive noise or vibration, low flying craft, the frequency of flights and their time of day (too early or too late) were among the options. Respondents were asked to name which days of the week and which times of the day the problem is greatest. Finally, they were asked to indicate the type of
aircraft -- helicopter, jet, seaplane or prop plane -- they find most troublesome.
Offering introductory comments, Burke-Gonzalez emphasized, “The town board is absolutely committed to addressing the noise problem and finding a lawful solution . . . This will be a tough road but we will do whatever we legally can do, to address the intolerable situation for many neighborhoods.”
She reported that in the coming weeks, the town board will outline the process it will use and a timetable for adopting appropriate rules to address the problem.

Once again, a generous donor has cut a big check for the East Hampton Food Pantry. Requesting anonymity, a customer at Vicki’s Veggies in Amagansett presented a check for $10,000 to proprietor Vicki Littman who is also the chair of the food pantry board.
Several years ago, the benefactor learned about the pantry through Littman’s “apple” project. Small paper apples were posted at the farm stand to denote donations to the food pantry. The program was so popular, Bridgehampton National Bank signed on, hosting the apple project at its branches and each year

A new East Hampton Food Pantry brochure provides information about hunger in East Hampton and how you can help.
Still Hungry In the Hamptons“harvesting” thousands of dollars for area food pantries.
And every penny helps. Here in the exclusive, wealthy
Hamptons, the need may not be obvious, but it’s great. The East Hampton Food Pantry supports over 33,000 people per year – nearly 12,000 families and over 10,000 children.
“The hidden face of hunger exists right here, in the beautiful hamlets of The Hamptons,” a new informational brochure crafted by a pantry volunteer asserts.
“What would you do if your next pay check was your last?” the packet asks, then answers, pointing out that for many people living year
round in East Hampton, “this is a real and constant threat.”
For over 25 years the East Hampton Food Pantry has addressed a “very real and very local” fight against hunger in the community. Visit the food pantry’s website and learn a staggering stat: one in 10 East Hampton families don’t have enough food. Year to year data is eye opening.
Last year the pantry served some 31,224 individuals. With four months – and some of the harsher months – to go in 2014, the food pantry has already served 19,748 individuals. It could meet or even exceed last year’s numbers.
The economic uptick has trickled down – accent on trickle – from a high of 43,519 individuals in 2010 to 35,583 in 2011 and 32,701 in 2012 and last year’s 31,224.
But it’s not “trickling” fast enough, and the pantry vows, “Until the lines are shortened and no one is left hungry, we carry on.”
Want to help?There are several ways. Visit
easthamptonfoodpantry.org and click the “Donate Now” button. Call 631-324-2300 to donate or
learn about corporate or event sponsorship.
Located on Accabonac Road in East Hampton, the pantry is open from 2 to 6 PM on Tuesdays. The Amagansett satellite is located at St. Michael’s and runs from 4 to 6 PM. Each family that visits the pantry receives at least two days’ worth of food –including staples, fresh eggs, milk, breads, fruits and vegetables, thanks to donations from local farms.
But there’s always a need for more.
Closing your house for the winter? Bring excess canned and non-perishable food to Vicki’s Veggies. “We’ll take it,” said Littman.

Iron Chef NailedCelebrity Chef Todd English has a
new unlucky number: three. That’s because at exactly 3:33 AM Sunday morning Southampton Town Police said they spotted his vehicle on County Road 39 drifting from lane to lane. English, 54, the driver, refused to take a Breathalyzer, and chances are he didn’t get a soufflé for breakfast – he spent the morning in the lockup awaiting arraignment.
English was released on $1500 bail. He reportedly will fight the charge in court.
Like An EagleSomeone climbed up on the
roof of the East Deck Motel on Deforest Road in Montauk early last Wednesday morning. East Hampton Town Police responded at 7 AM but the suspect had apparently fled the scene.
We Know Where You LiveSomeone swiped Erin Boyles’s
cellphone while she was at the Memory Motel in Montauk on August 25. Not to worry – she’s able to track the device on her computer. Police were called after Boyle tracked the phone to a construction site in Bridgehampton. Whoever had it returned it, and Boyle decided against pressing charges.
Squeegee AttackDaria Okrasinski called Riverhead
Police last Thursday after she said her sister had beaten her – with a squeegee. Police said she had a laceration on her head and bruises on her body. Okrasinski, 32, said the assailant, her sister Keri Torkelsen, 21, also choked her. Torkelsen was arrested and charged with Assault Second and Criminal Obstruction.

Citizen Preparedness Corps training is now available in a condensed version online. This training takes the basics of the in-person Citizen Preparedness Corps training course and allows people to view a shortened version on their computer or mobile device.
“Over the past few years, extreme weather patterns have made one thing perfectly clear in New York – we must do everything we can to prepare our communities to
Get Prepared Onlinerespond in the event of a disaster,” Governor Andrew Cuomo said, announcing the initiative last month. “The Citizen Preparedness Corps gives New Yorkers the tools and knowledge they need to serve as first responders in their own homes, and by offering training sessions online we are greatly expanding the reach of this important resource and protecting communities across the state. I encourage all New Yorkers to take advantage of this
training and learn about how they can become better prepared in the event of an emergency.”
The online training is available at www.prepare.ny.gov/training-events. Users will click on the button that says “Launch Online Training,” then will be directed to a 12-minute video and a short quiz to demonstrate what they have learned.
The New York State Citizen Preparedness Corps training was launched in February of this year with the goal of training New Yorkers on how to prepare themselves, their families, and their communities for disasters and emergencies. This training has been created by experts at the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services’ Office of Emergency Management and Office of Fire Prevention and Control and led by instructors
from the Division of Military and Naval Affairs. To date, more than 75 in-person events have been held throughout New York State.
D i v i s i o n o f H o m e l a n d Security and Emergency Services Commissioner Jerome M. Hauer said, “This condensed training of the Citizen Preparedness Corps training classes is another avenue to reach more people and to make them aware of the importance of having a plan if they are forced into an emergency. Giving citizens a basic understanding of emergency preparedness saves lives and helps first responders and other emergency personnel respond when disaster strikes.”

I don’t come to bury Alec Baldwin. I don’t come to praise him, either. I just want to ignore him.We’ve had our little feud going
for about 15 years. It started when I wrote an article in the New York Times that quoted someone saying Baldwin would sign his name to letters he didn’t actually write. He didn’t like that.
We’ve had our flare-ups from time to time ever since, and he even tried to get me fired once or twice.
This is not to imply I am a significant figure in Alec Baldwin’s
Alec And Melife, or that he spends a considerable amount of time thinking about ways to get me. I’m pretty sure he’s forgotten all about me.
But here’s the thing some people don’t understand: he’s equally insignificant to me. I don’t mean that as an insult -- all of us have our own lives, joys and perils, ups and downs.
Celebrities, especially here in the Hamptons where they are so commonplace, are no big deal anymore. Sure, when people hear we are from the Hamptons they ask about the boldfaced names and
we tell our little tales about trivial interactions we’ve had. I saw all four stars of “Sex And The City” the same day, for example. Kim Cattrall (the slutty one!) actually struck up conversations with me several times.
Paul McCartney is around every summer. He chats it up with folks. He poses for pictures with you. Paul goes to the local pubs and has a pint or two.
I see Stephanie Seymour a lot – the same woman I used to ogle in “Victoria’s Secret.” Now THAT’S a photo op.
Once I was in John Papa’s eating breakfast when Arwen Undómiel, The Elf Maiden from Lord Of The Rings sat next to me. I nearly died. I was so excited I started texting people and whispering to bystanders. “That’s not whoever you said it was, one lady finally said to me. It’s Liv Tyler.” I’m like, who’s she? What a letdown!
I was on Newtown Lane Sunday
morning and witnessed the latest Baldwin meltdown. What happened, apparently, was Baldwin, who was with his wife and baby (there was another woman there as well), became agitated because a photographer, later identified by police as Matt Agudo, was taking pictures.
Here’s the thing: Alec was really upset. He was beside himself. He was gesturing and shouting, and appeared completely disheveled. Police cars arrived and he eventually calmed down.
End of story, right? Well, no. When you are a celebrity, every thing is magnified a hundredfold. By the time you read this I am sure the N.Y. Post and dozen other media outlets will pick up the non-story and run with it. This has happened before, of course.
I am not criticizing Agudo, but I can speak for myself: if I know Baldwin doesn’t like to be disturbed (especially when he is with a one-year old, which he often is) I would simply respect his wishes and keep walking. It’s basic, human decency. Leave the poor guy alone. Who really cares at this point if you get another picture of him being agitated?
McCartney? He would probably have chatted you up. Guess what, though? I leave him alone, too. In fact, even though I am a newspaper guy, I have no interest in approaching a complete stranger and engaging in small talk just for the sake of doing it.
I know the photographers who snapped the money shot of McCartney kissing the woman who would become his next bride. They sold it for a lot of money. They’ve sold a lot of celebrity shots over the years. But I doubt McCartney even saw them. I know one thing – they would never cause anyone genuine distress for the sake of a quick buck.
Yeah, I took a couple shots of Baldwin Sunday morning while he was arguing with the police. It’s my job – had he been arrested, it would have become news. But you won’t see them here.
Look, i f I can walk right by Stephanie Seymour without drooling, I can ignore Alec Baldwin.
People always say stuff like, “well if I had his money . . .” or, “that’s the price you pay if you want to be in show business.”
That’s bogus. All of us have a right to a summer stroll in our hometown with our wife and new baby without being badgered and/or annoyed. If taking pictures of Baldwin upsets him, the hell with it. Even if you relish seeing Alec lose it, is it really satisfying to make a baby cry?
If I ever see Aragorn or Legolas in person I’m gonna be all up in their faces. But mere mortals? It takes more than that to blow my cool.

Tumbleweed TuesdayOK, we really don’t
shut down the East End the day after Labor Day anymore, but a semblance of normality does return. So let’s reflect on how things went:
THE GOOD: The weather. Yes, it was a bit cooler than usual, but it was usually gorgeous out – very little rain, gentle breezes, and very little fog. We didn’t get the usual two week-long hot spell that brings temperatures into the mid to high 90s but who knows, it’s been known to happen in September and one year, early October. The weather was good to farmers and we had bumper crops of corn and tomatoes. And thank god, not one major weather event.
THE BAD: Traffic. Yes, it’s getting worse. The main arteries more resemble Manhattan than the country, and there seems little reason for optimism. One possible solution is the growth of Hamptons Free Ride, which allows people to park in municipal lots and shuttle to and from the beach. Southampton Town had a similar program a few years
back and it may be time to take a good, hard look at free mass transit, at least during the summer and poss ib ly dur ing peak hours all year long. Anything beats getting stuck in slow moving traffic on a gorgeous day better spent poolside or on the beach.
THE UGLY: Helicopters. The insistent and invasive racket caused by these behemoths has worn down even the staunchest airport supporter. It is no longer an option to file it away as a byproduct of the summer season – it
must stop, or at least be drastically curtailed. East Hampton Town officials, to their credit, are moving as fast as they can towards a solution, but they are stymied by what they can and can’t do by FAA regulations. Maybe it’s time for a class action suit, or something more creative: if every limousine going to and from the airport were to be stopped for safety checks it would surely back up traffic and ruffle feathers. Then the helicopter passengers might finally feel some of the anger the rest of us feel because of them.
Time For Change?Dear Editor,
Congressman Tim Bishop’s latest statements about Senator Lee Zeldin appall me. Instead of engaging in mud slinging and name calling, Bishop should run on his own record. The only issue that prevents this is that he knows he can’t. After 12 years in office, and nothing to run on himself, Bishop knows he is vulnerable and that’s why he has sunk to the lowest level.
Instead of stating his views and defending his unpopular votes for any of the important issues here on Long Island, such as Obamacare, Common Core, immigration and the incredibly high taxes here on Long Island, Tim Bishop bashes Lee Zeldin every chance he can get. And very importantly, Lee Zeldin is committed to standing for life and for the family, which Tim Bishop is not willing to do.
The people of the First Congressional District do not want smoke and mirror distractions irrelevant to the needs of their families and businesses. We want answers.
With Bishop in office and the Democratic Party in power, people living in the First
Congressional District have seen their lives and the economy stagnate, and the prospects for their children dramatically diminish. We don’t need someone who votes with Obama and Pelosi almost 100 percent of the time, we need someone to vote with us here on Long Island.
On November 4 I’m voting for Lee Zeldin. It’s time for a new leader in Washington.

Sink Or SwimEditor Rick,
Considering the amount of brainpower
at the Sag Harbor Express office; what took them so long to recognize that their location as a newspaper was terribly misplaced? Considering it’s the piractical real estate industry that keeps the grossly inflated property prices so ridiculously high; how can the pseudo snobs decry the paper’s Main Street high visibility location to this business use?
Considering all places of worship are bastions of ethical values, very much needed in this international spate of cruel distorted splinter groups ruthlessly committed to relentless religious warfare; might not it be now to upgrade the Sag

Harbor physical plants and location of worship?
Temple Adas Israel built in 1889, when most communicants walked to services, historic but currently lacking in parking, it’s dated as a physical structure. St Ann’s Episcopal also falls within these parameters. Do we require an industrial park approach to new, relocated houses of worship?
Consider ing a l l factors, we’re approaching a sink or swim point and require new thinking to survive.
CAPTAIN BRUCE ROBERTSON-DICK
Giving The AppearanceDear Mr. Murphy,
A short time ago, the New York Post published a less than favorable article about one of my neighbors, a big supporter of President Obama. For reasons that are unclear but extremely disappointing, The Southampton Press doesn’t always publish the truth, so, as the race for Congress heats up, it bears repeating that when incumbent Congressman Timothy Bishop makes an appearance at charity events for women’s causes, he is only giving the appearance of defending women’s rights.
It pays to examine a few issues raised by The Independent in several of its editorials. Timothy Bishop is without a doubt a good father. He has secured jobs and educational benefits for his family and revenue for his daughter. I wish my father were able to do so, but like most people, I earned my own way.
Therefore, I tend to agree with The Independent that it’s not my civic responsibility to support the families of elected officials -- either directly via taxes or indirectly via zoning decisions that allow families and cronies of elected officials to profit.
On a personal level, I probably wouldn’t object to supporting the livelihood of their families except I do object to their tendency to use daughters and children as pawns when they choose to cover up harmful conduct toward other women.
I ’ve a l re a d y a rg u e d t h a t t h e Democratic Party (and The Southampton Press) have refused to publish the truth about road accidents and useless highway projects in East Quogue in large part to allow Democrats (and The Press) to allege they care about road safety. Therefore, it pays to investigate whether Democrats are hypocritical, if not downright deceitful, when they
allege they defend women’s rights.SUSAN CERWINSKI
Doctor Greed?Dear Rick,
I read with extreme interest your story on “Doctor Speed.” Before I get into my thoughts on this story, may I express my love and interest in automobiles? As a car collector I love cars, trucks, basically anything that is on wheels.
Perhaps to further explain my love and devotion to this hobby, etc. I own a copy of my first car, a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria with an original 200 hp, original Ford Thunderbird engine.
This car is very rarely driven over 50 miles per hour and as a top of the line car in 1956 it was all the average American needed! Now that the 2015 cars are being released, that grand old lady is 56 years old!
I met my wife at 16 years of age in my
original 56 Ford and since I still love her, (and she has been my wife for 55 years). Our old Vicky is like a family member! I have never felt the NEED for speed any more than that old Vicky provided for us!
I take the time to explain all of this since the provision of 1000 horsepower in a car to be driven on public roadways is to me total insanity. Doctor Speed’s need for greed is, I suspect the reason. He makes cars that are capable of “Ripping your lungs out, when you floor the pedal?”
A car that has 1000 hp, has no business on public roadways! That death machine has no business being driven alongside cars which have little old ladies in them, with their grandchildren in car seats, in the back seat!
This person is truly frightening -- he admits in this story he has one more goal to be tackled: to roll out that “baby, to see what it will do on the roads?” He “figures it will do 230 MPH.”
How was your Labor Day weekend?
Nita Gottesman It was just perfect! My children, grandchildren,niece and nephew were here. We were at thebay beach one day and the ocean beach thenext day. And the weather was far better than itwas predicted to be.
Daryl PazerIt’s been great. So relaxing. I’m a freshman incollege and I just started at the New School, atParsons. It’s nice to catch the last few days ofbeach weather and spend the time with familyand friends.
David BrownIt was a great weekend. I worked at theFireboat Fire Fighter Museum in Greenport. Wehad lots of visitors over the weekend. Morethan expected. Then, in the evening I went todinner with my daughter and son-in-law. Wehad a really nice time together.
Lauren MarmoraleI spent the weekend with family and friends,hanging out together and relaxing. The oceanwas a bit chilly so we didn’t get in. But that’sokay, since we did get to swim last weekend.All in all it was a great time.

Prideless PuppetsTo The Independent Editor,
Republican Conservatives and their Libertarian pseudonym scream, “freedom, freedom, freedom!” When are they going to concede some of that “freedom” to women even concerning their very own body? Inconceivable that it also includes their female contingent that have been so subjugated as to be made blind to the obvious. Shame on those prideless puppets.
ARLENE PHILOMENA
Deter And DefeatLetter to the Editor,
When President Obama was questioned about countering the Islamic terrorists (ISIS) in Syria, his response was “We don’t have a strategy yet,” and this exemplifies the status of our foreign policy. The Obama Administration has deferred our foreign policy decisions to other countries that defer back to the U.S. It is a policy of procrastination based on hopes and dreams the world’s problems will fade away or be solved by foreign good guys in shining armor.
The results of our diplomatic pullback, our military cuts, and decreased readiness have allowed the Russians to take the Crimea, North Korea to threaten South Korea, China to flex its military might in the Western Pacific, Iran to develop nuclear weapons, and Islamic terrorists to establish a territory in Iraq and Syria for launching attacks in the Middle East and the world.
We cannot rely on other countries to take the lead in a dangerous world. As an example, since 2008 European governments have relinquished any leadership role by paying $165 million in ransom to Islamic terrorists for the release of European citizens. To deter and defeat aggression in the world, the U.S. has to provide global leadership in our foreign policy strategies and decisions.

him. This week Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone invites resi-dents to take to Facebook with their Suffolk County pride with the #SuffolkSnapshot photo contest.

The contest is designed to evoke pride and promote interest in travel to and within Suffolk County. #SuffolkSnapshot photographs should create a sense of place and convey the beauty, history and/or spirit of Suffolk County. Subject matter could include Suffolk County parks, landmarks, tourist attractions, natural resources, and downtowns.

The photographs will be posted on Bellone’s Facebook page on September 14. Winners will be determined by how many “Likes” each photo receives on the page. Voting will run through September 28 and the winners will be announced on September 29.
The first place winner will receive a Canon PowerShot SX280 HS digital camera, courtesy of Canon U.S.A., Inc.

On August 27, the East Hampton Girl Scout Junior Troop 419 achieved the Bronze Award for publishing an informational brochure on the Endangered Species of Eastern Long Island for the East Hampton Town Trustees. The award recipients spent 20 hours researching, going into the field to study, and publish-ing a brochure.
Along the way they worked with the East Hampton Town Trustees and the marine education guides on the Viking Fleet to better under-stand the plight of endangered spe-cies in our waters and on our land.
Their Bronze Award journey took them far and wide. The scouts spent a night in the American Museum of Natural History; went off shore to look for whales and dolphins, and camped out at the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, New York. In East Hampton, they sought out animals in various local habitats. They were surprised to find many of their animals alive
and well here in East Hampton.The Bronze Award recipients are as follows, with their studied
species in parenthesis: Caroline Brown (Short Eared Owl), Alexandra Schumacher (Green Turtle), Ariana Islami (Osprey), Jackie Ovanessian (Piping Plover), Lauren Gabbard (Hump Back Whale), Mary Kate Kopka (Blue Whale) Cailyn Lynch (Kemp’s Ridley Turtle), and Mary McCann (Loggerhead Turtle).
On behalf of the Suffolk County Legislature, Legislator Jay Schnei-derman presented each girl scout with a proclamation for her hard work. East Hampton Town Trustee Stephanie Forsberg, an alumnus of Troop 419, was in attendance representing the East Hampton Trustees. The brochure will be available at the trustees’ office on Bluff Road in Amagansett and on their town website.

Being classified as a “bite dog” can be a kiss of death in a municipal animal shelter, regardless of the circumstances. The intended object might have been a ball or leash.
A human hand gets in the way and accidents happen. Nothing serious, no blood or stitches. But the dog can be blacklisted, further limiting their chances of finding a home. Vivian and Karma
are bite dogs at a local shelter. They are by no means vicious and their unfortunate mistake can be explained.
“Paws Unite People” can rescue them because they are an animal welfare organization. But they need your support. Please call 516-721-2552 for details or visit them on Facebook. Help them give these dogs a second chance.

If you’re like millions of other Fantasy players, we’re approaching ground zero. You may have one or two more drafts scheduled before the season officially kicks off with a game tomorrow night, or you may be done. Regardless of how well you drafted, there is one cardinal rule you must understand: you don’t win championships at your draft — you win during the season.
The worst thing you can do at this point is sit on your hands. By the time the season ends you’ll probably have six or seven different players on your roster, and a couple guys you never even heard of yet.RULE #1: Work The Wires!
Take the time now to go to the league homes pages and check out how free agents and waiver moves are made. In a lot of leagues, like Yahoo, the first guy to make the claim gets the player. That means you must be poised and ready to strike. Let’s say, for example, Jamal Charles of the Chiefs, one of the top running backs in the league, gets hurt. His seldom-used backup Kniles Davis is suddenly a hot commodity. Grab him, even if you don’t need a running back.That brings us to RULE #2:
Handcuff Your Superstars. Davis would never be available if whoever owned Charles grabbed his backup. The trouble is it’s not always so easy. Once the bye weeks begin -- four to six teams get a week off – you need to fill holes on your roster, and sometimes you have to let your handcuffs go to free up space for a
It’s Game Time!starter. That said, at least handcuff your best player. As we have pointed out many times, players succeed not only because they are talented but also because of the system they are in. In other words, Peyton Manning’s backup will put up good numbers should Manning get injured because the Denver passing attack will still be formidable.RULE #3: Watch For Trades.
One of the joys of fantasy sports is trading, which allows you to act as the general manager of the team. For example, if you have four good running backs, you probably have a need in another area, so a swap makes sense. But trading is a dual-edged sword: savvy owners frequently fleece other players by talking them into one-sided trades. That means be prepared to protest a trade if it doesn’t smell right to you.RULE #4: Don’t Give Up.
Last year I dropped four of my first games in a National Fantasy Football Championship and managed to advance into the championship round by finishing 9-5. Even if you are mathematically eliminated, you owe it to the other owners to play hard, especially in a money league. Be proactive in this read: if you see a player who has given up – his lineup contains players who aren’t even playing – call, email or text him. Be nice and firm: “Dude, I need you to beat the Astros this week because they are one game ahead of me, and your tight end isn’t playing. I can trade you one if that helps.” If that doesn’t help then threaten him with
bodily injury.RULE #5: Forget Your Home Team Loyalty.
The worst thing you can do is play with your heart. Sure, you love the Giants, but that doesn’t mean you should be starting Eli Manning.
Professional fantasy owners have learned the hard way: there can be no sentiment involved in this game. It is cold and calculating – you root for the guys that can make you money, period. You’re not a little kid anymore – get over the bromance.

Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/OceanThe bay bite continues to see the
most fluke action. Plenty of short fish with an occasional keeper in the mix. Fish to five pounds have been reported over the weekend on the local spearing/squid combo. Most of the action has been on the east side of the bridge during the flood, incoming, tide.
Gulp baits still account for plenty of action. Getting a few more reports on striped bass from the inlet and Ponquogue Bridge. Clam chumming at the bridge is producing a good amount of fish with a keeper once in a while.
On The Water Over at the inlet the bass are mostly shorts being taken on trolled umbrella rigs on wire. Big blues are lurking at the inlet’s bottom and taking most heavy tins and fluke baits.
The buoy chains inside the inlet are holding some triggerfish and porgies. Out on the reef guys have had a few seabass and an occasional fluke. The ocean fluke bite just hasn’t materialized this season. Snappers are all over, great fluke baits. Peconic Bay
The porgy action remains good if you chum in the usual spots including Rogers’s Rock. Plenty of snappers in the local creeks and harbors.
Shore Bound/Surf/Bridge/CanalThe local ocean beaches have seen a
few schoolie striped bass and cocktail blues. Fish have been taken on poppers, tins and diamond jigs in the white water. Most of the bite has been at dawn.
Over in the Shinnecock Canal it’s snappers, snappers and more snappers.
Along with the snappers are some fluke with a few keepers in the mix and porgies at the north end. The Ponquogue Bridge is holding fluke, snappers, porgies and striped bass.
The bass bite has been mainly in the dark. The Shinnecock Inlet has fluke, bluefish, porgies and striped bass to keep everyone happy. The bluefish are
on the bottom and taking heavy ava jigs. Some bass are taking bucktails in the early mornings and clam baits both day and night.Offshore
Sharks are still being taken in as close as 50 feet of water. Most guys are running to about 120 feet and coming home with a mako for the BBQ. The Bigeye bite in the canyons remains hot along with a good mix of good size Yellowfins on the night chunk. Longfin are being taken on the troll.
