Lee Zeldin said he knew he was going to win the First Congressional District seat two weeks ago, even though polls showed him trailing by 10 percentage points in September.

“I was going door to door in Selden. People recognized and engaged me before I said anything.” Those hours on the campaign trail convinced him he would defeat six-term incumbent Tim Bishop. “People are unhappy about the direction of this country. They are ready for a

Mr. Zeldin Goes To Washington

change.”It’s been quite a ride for Zeldin

since Bishop soundly defeated him in 2008. Since then the Congressman-Elect, who is a major in the U.S. Army Reserve, won a seat in the State Senate and was reelected, setting up his run for the House of Representatives. First, he had to survive a costly primary battle with George Demos.

“The attacks on me boosted my name recognition,” he realized after that election.

Zeldin was also at a disadvantage against Bishop. Though critics kept insisting his campaign was being financed by outside GOP power mongers, Zeldin said, “We had less money than our opponent. I don’t think you necessarily have to outspend your opponent to win.”

Zeldin privately bristled that some of Bishop’s attack ads were off the mark. “But,” he said, “Bishop hurt himself, bringing up the fact the FBI investigated him in his ads, though Bishop said he was ‘cleared.’”

Zeldin said Bishop’s ads left a lot of would-be voters wondering why Bishop was on the FBI radar to begin with. “A lot of people mentioned that. A lot shared the observation,” Zeldin said.

“Their side had several messages,” Zeldin pointed out, and it left voters without a strong opinion of what Bishop stood for.

Still, his opponent was gracious in defeat. “Bishop is a gentleman. He made it clear he would assure a smooth transition. I think that’s commendable.” In fact, though the campaign was heated, the two were always civil during head-to-head meetings. “I’ve always gotten along

with him,” Zeldin said. “We have mutual constituents. We shared our thoughts — we just disagreed on the direction of America. Voters were able to make an informed choice.”

Zeldin, a critic of President Obama, said the President has severely damaged this country’s relationship with Israel.

“Israel is our strongest ally in the entire world.” Obama, he said, was “adversarial” to Israel’s plans to build in Jerusalem, “praised the Palestinian Authority” when Israelis were trying to root out Hamas, and did not pursue an agenda that would have punished Syria for developing chemical weapons. “Our enemies don’t respect weakness. They only respect strength.”

The next few months are critical, Zeldin warned. “My biggest fear is the President will use Executive Orders and try and throw away the Constitution. The president would be foolish to do so.”

Zeldin said the best course of action for all concerned is for the dueling parties to work together, “There needs to be a healthy dialogue to get on the same page.”

Zeldin said a lot of Democrats told him they voted Republican this year. If Obama does not concede authority on issues like immigration reform, “that will continue into the presidential election of 2016,” Zeldin predicted.

I never want to see politician’s kids in a commercial again.

It’s a horrible new trend and it must stop. It probably all started when a handsome kid’s Afro in a commercial got his unqualified and in-over-his-head father Bill de Blasio elected Mayor of New York City. This, in turn, gave a racist like Al Sharpton a voice in how we run our city.

It got the teacher’s union a sweetheart deal with the city that we will be paying off long after de Blasio is a bad memory as the worst mayor in our city’s history.

What kind of an idiot votes for a man because the man’s kid has an Afro, you might ask? I don’t know, but there were enough idiots voting for de Blasio to put us in the fix we’re in right now.

That’s why I didn’t want to see Governor Cuomo’s children in his commercials.

But I did. There was Cuomo, who looks like he would eat small children if they get in his way, doing the sweet, nice daddy bit with his kids in a commercial that ran five times an hour on every channel until Election Day. There

THINGS I DON’T WANT TO SEE AGAIN

was no way to get away from it. It was everywhere. The fact is, now that I think of it, I don’t even want to see Cuomo’s angry face in his commercials in the future.

But it was left to a Republican to come up with the most manipulative, creepy commercial of them all.

Nan Hayworth ran a commercial in which her son talks about being gay and how his mother has always loved and supported him. Then Nan Hayworth came into the commercial, kissed her son on his forehead and said, “I’m Nan Hayworth and I approve of this message.”

How sweet, how nice – until you realize that incumbent Sean Patrick Maloney, whom Nan Hayworth was trying to unseat, is also an openly gay man.

So what the public was seeing was a “Gay-Off” between Nan’s son and her opponent.

And that sums up how cynical politicians are and how they use their families to win votes.

Nan Hayworth’s other commercials were my favorite commercials of this political season. The theme of her commercials jumped on Maloney’s name and her message was “Maloney

is full of baloney.” This abomination had so-called “men and women on the street” repeating “Maloney is full of baloney.” In the end, they showed a picture of Maloney, but it had a slice of baloney covering his face. I checked with my grandchildren to see if they were doing freelance advertising commercials for Nan Hayworth.

I asked the lovely Annabel (Beany), age 11, and she rejected the idea, saying that at age 11 she was too old to write that kind of junk. Next I asked Charlie, age 8, and he denied it and said it was “stupid” and referred me to my granddaughter Maggie, age 6, who giggled at the thought that Maloney was full of baloney.

Not since I was in the third grade at PS 95 in Brooklyn, during a heated race for Class Monitor, have I heard a candidate being charged with being full of baloney.

Nan Hayworth was one of the few Republican candidates who lost on that glorious election night. Good.

I don’t want to hear about “The Republican’s War On Women” again.

Thank God the “war” is over. Fact is there never was a war – just some very clever Democrat charlatans’ riff that worked two years ago but fell flat last week.

A war on women?GOP history was made this

midterm as the youngest person was elected to Congress in history . . . and it was a Republican woman.

In Utah the voters decided that they were not interested in a divided America based on race or gender, so they elected Mia Love, the first black Republican woman, to Congress.

One Democrat who didn’t get that the so-called “War on Women” was dead was Sen. Mark Udall from Colorado.

He ran what was called a “gynecological” campaign, focused on birth control and abortion, that earned him the nickname “Mark Uterus.”

Women rejected him and he lost in a landslide. Good.

What follows is some funny stuff from the Internet. I don’t know who wrote them, but if they contact me I will give them

credit in this column.1. Teaching Math in the 1950/60s

(when I was in high school) – A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

2. Teaching Math in the 1970s – A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

3. Teaching Math in the 1980s – A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit? Yes or no.

4. Teaching Math in the 1990s – A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

5. Teaching Math in the 2000s – A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it’s OK.)

And finally, some nasty college football jokes to send you away with a smile.

Ohio State’s Urban Meyer discussing one of his players:

“He doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘fear’. In fact, I just saw his grades and he doesn’t know the meaning of a lot of words.”

What does the average Alabama player get on his SATs?

Drool.What do you say to a Michigan

State football player dressed in a three-piece suit?

“Will the defendant please rise?”If three Florida State football

players are in the same car, who is driving?

The police officer.

Does the liberal media skew its coverage of an elected official based on his political persuasion or stance on a pet issue? Would left-leaning reporters omit rebuttals and information, expert shop, or even manufacture stories using phony victims and deliberate fallacies?

Ask Steve Levy.His response would likely be,

“Oh, absolutely.”This Saturday at the Westhampton

Beach Library at noon, the former county executive will discuss his book, Bias In The Media: How The Media Switched Against Me After I

Independent / Courtesy Steve Levy

Levy Gets The Last WordSwitched Parties.

The tome could be characterized as a 237-page condemnation of Newsday, a handful of its reporters, the New York Times, and even a couple of local weeklies. With a characteristically informal writing style, Levy cites example after example of coverage of his administration twisted to meet an agenda.

It didn’t start out that way. Levy swept into office at the helm

of county government in 2004 with a rapacious lust for attention and a communications department often described as “The biggest PR firm on Long Island.” Press conferences and releases detailing ground breaking

initiatives and new programs from an office that during the prior administration operated in a vacuum were a near-daily activity. And the media ate it up . . . until Levy opened his mouth and said the words “illegal immigration.”

A life long Democrat, the Holbrook native speedily morphed from media darling to devil, courtesy of his conservative philosophy. He became a target of reporters whose sympathy for undocumented workers informed the basis of story after story in Newsday and the New York Times. Facts didn’t matter. Truth was beside the point. Accuracy? What’s that?

Levy articulates time after time when his office pointed out erroneous “information,” in sensational articles, that generated at best, single line corrections and, perhaps most startling, a repeated response of “Life is not fair” from a senior Newsday editor.

“My head exploded so many times during that process,” Levy said this week in a telephone interview. Writing Bias In The Media, a two-year endeavor, was “cathartic,” he said, adding, “I wanted it for the public record.”

Although the author devotes the bulk of the book to examples of how he was misquoted, misrepresented and mistreated by the media, a portion of Bias In The Media offers instances of similar bias towards other electeds. Levy considers a full page “expose” suggesting ethical improprieties with the Republican Nassau County Execut i ve ’ s campaign contributions, alongside a mere snippet about his Democratic counterpart in Suffolk’s war chest.

He discusses how Hil lary Clinton, beloved by the media, was portrayed as “the wicked witch of conservativism” when a more liberal presidential candidate came to the fore. “How the media can turn on someone so quickly,” he said, “it underscores the liberal bias.”

Levy used of other examples, he said, “to prove this wasn’t just a figment of my imagination.”

The gloves came off when discussing Levy’s immigration stance, but when he switched parties in 2010 to run for governor, it got really dirty. Financial disclosure filings, ignored when Levy was a Democrat, became the focus of intensive, agenda-driven investigation. Over and over articles that used a misread of disclosure law as their springboard ran, despite proffered evidence to their inaccuracy, which included the

The Office of the State Comptroller deemed projected revenues and expenditures outlined in the East Hampton Town Board’s proposed budget for 2015 “reasonable.”

Under state finance law, the town must undergo review of its bottom line by state auditors. The requirement was triggered when town officials garnered approval from the state legislature to borrow $30 million so they could deal with the double digit deficit left by disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee. The borrowing came with an oversight mandate.

Last month auditors visited East Hampton to take a gander at the proposed budget. In a letter to Supervisor Larry Cantwell and the town board dated November 4, Deputy Comptroller Gabriel Deyo reported his staff’s analysis concluded projections for next year are both reasonable and in compliance with the state tax cap.

Not everybody agrees.During a public hearing on the

document last Thursday night Tom Knobel, chair of the local Republican committee, looked askance at certain notations related to revenue in the budget. While property taxes may not be slated to increase by much, Knobel said increased fees can be “punitive” as a way of raising money without raising taxes.

Knobel also expressed concern about increases in expected revenue. Are those listed for the airport realistic, he wanted to know. Referencing a revision to include a public safety revenue share from the county that wasn’t anticipated in the first draft of the budget, he noted officials didn’t have the payment in hand, just word from Legislator Jay Schneiderman who was “99 percent sure” the money would be budgeted. Knobel finds it “very, very dangerous” to rely on such revenue to balance the budget.

Cantwell countered, stating he is “not the least bit concerned” that he and his staff are not going to be able to meet projections estimated in the draft document. They’re very conservative and not overly optimistic, he said.

The town board can discuss any possible revisions during work sessions today and next Tuesday. It must be formally adopted when they hold their next general meeting on November 20.

The inclusion of the public safety revenue (over $100,000) offsets the removal of $50,000 in predicted revenue from the creation of a

OSC Sez It’s A-OKrental registry. The inclusion of the line item in Cantwell’s first draft raised eyebrows, since the law has yet to be passed, or even noticed for public hearing.

Today during its work session in Montauk, the board expected to host its second informational session on the registry. An earlier outing drew opponents by the score.

In other news, she’s back to the beginning. The board voted to appoint former town councilwoman Julia Prince a provisional ordinance inspector. Prince began her career in public service as a code enforcement officer before running for town board and winning a seat in 2007. The position comes with an annual

salary of $44,757. Lawmakers also bolstered the sparse building department with the appointment

of a senior building inspector. John Lascari joins the department with an adopted salary of $56,638.

Cranksgiving Gearing upJoining a national effort to end hunger, Saunders & Associates presents

the first annual Hamptons’ “Cranksgiving” food drive to be held on No-vember 22. It was announced on NBC’s “Today Show” Monday morning that one of the show’s anchors would participate in the East Hampton leg of this national effort, accompanied by cameras to document the ride.

Participants will bicycle through a pre-arranged route, stopping at four different Hamptons grocery stores for opportunities to purchase non-perishable foods to be donated to the East Hampton Food Pantry.

Over the low-key, six-mile course, bicyclists can spend any amount of money purchasing items from a list of much-needed foods. Although this is not a race and participants have no minimum or maximum require-ment of donated items, the first person to return to the finish line with all the listed items and accompanying receipts will be declared the “winner.”

The idea to bring “Cranksgiving” to the Hamptons was spearheaded by East Hampton native and Saunders & Associates agent, Eddie Lopez.

“When Eddie brought this fantastic idea to us, we embraced it en-thusiastically. Thanksgiving has always been a cherished holiday for my family and the Saunders & Associates family. This year, we felt we needed to honor the holiday by helping the Hamptons community give back to those less fortunate on the East End. We couldn’t think of a better way to do that than by joining forces with the East Hampton Food Pantry and sponsoring a “Cranksgiving” of our own,” said Andrew Saunders, Presi-dent of Saunders & Associates.

This year, the East Hampton Food Pantry plans to feed more than 31,000 people in Amagansett, East Hampton, Montauk, Springs, and Wain-scott. The “Cranksgiving” ride will contribute to this incredible effort.

There is no entry fee for the November 22 event, and all food items col-lected will be donated to the East Hampton Food Pantry. A bicycle, helmet and a small backpack are required to ride. Free gifts will be provided to the first 50 participants who register at 10 AM. The ride begins at 11 AM, kicking off at East Hampton Middle School.

The footage captured by NBC cameras will air on the “Today Show” on Monday, November 24.

Kenneth Arraya, 27, allegedly came out fighting and had to be subdued. Police ascer-tained he had been drinking and charged Arraya with DWI as well as Unlawful Fleeing, Resisting Arrest, Aggravated Unlicensed Operation, and numerous other violations.

With the date of next year’s budget approval looming, the Southampton Town Board discussed last Thursday, with other town officials, new development and budgetary plans, with an effort to better serve the surrounding community.

Last week, Town Planning and Development Administrator Kyle Collins, along with Principal Planner Amy Pfeiffer, met with the board to discuss a proposed Planned Development District for the Bridgehampton Gateway study.

For years now, plans for new development at the location across the street from the Bridgehampton

Gateway A Go, Hwy Dept Needs DoughCommons shopping center were put on hold, though Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst kick-started the conversation after recently attending two Bridgehampton Citizens Advisory Committee meetings on the issue.

The site is 13.5 acres of largely undeveloped commercial land and is currently zoned for a mix of highway business and residential uses.

According to Collins, having a PDD lets the town board, along with the community, call the shots on the development process, with consideration to the lots being zoned for what will best serve the community.

Affordable housing, open space, and a walk-in clinic were all discussed as possibilities.

“Some of the public benefit is the design,” Collins said at last Thursday’s work session. “One concept was to have what would look like a farmstand, with a pasture in front, a farmhouse and barn.”

During an earlier meeting last month, the members of the CAC showed their support for the PDD project. The next CAC meeting is scheduled for November 24, where it’s expected developer Greg Konner will present his more detailed plans.

Also last week, Southampton’s Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor urged town board members

to provide his budget for next year with more money (an additional amount of just over $6 million) to repave town roads.

According to Gregor, more investment in repaving roads in the short term will equate to a larger savings in the long term.

According to Gregor, there are 26 miles of roads in residential subdivisions that haven’t been repaved since they were built, in some cases over 30 years ago. In what Gregor believes will take about a year’s worth of work, completing work on those streets over the next five years will cost about $1.7 million.

Southampton Town Comptroller Len Marchese noted the town will be obligated to set aside more money in the future to pay down its debts.

“Debt service is falling off rapidly,” Marchese assured the town board, “because of the very healthy fund balance.”

Marchese reminded the board five years ago the annual debt service on road improvement capital spending was $2.4 million, or 22 percent of the Highway Department’s total budget for the year. This year, the debt service increased to 29 percent of the department’s budget. Looking to the future, Marchese said if the increases the department requested over time are approved by the town board, in five years time the repayment of debt services could potentially reach nearly $5 million. That number would be almost 40 percent of the department’s budget by 2019.

M a r c h e s e c o n t i n u e d b y reminding the board must adopt the town’s proposed 2015 budget by Thursday, November 20.

Currently the budget comes in at $88.5 million, with the Highway Department being allotted over $9 million for operations and almost $4 million for capital improvements. Of that capital funding, $1.2 million is set to go to road improvements, with another $1 million just for work on Dune Road in Hampton Bays.

Gregor acknowledged he does have about $1 million available in the department’s reserve account, which will most likely used to cover shortfalls through the remaining fall/winter months of this year. Other needs of the superintendent included new trucks and more funding for garage maintenance and snow removal budgets.

“Whatever you can do,” Gregor said to the town board, “we understand.”

A Montauk man who sued because the East Hampton Town ordered a raid on his property in 2009 will have his day in court.

United States District Judge Joseph F. Bianco ruled last week that the suit, filed by Thomas Ferreira, can proceed to trial. Ferreira lived and had his shop on Navy Road in Montauk. The town claimed hazardous conditions existed and raided it twice, on June 22, 2009 and again 10 weeks later.

Ferreira’s attorneys, Thomas Horn and Lawrence Kelly, contend the raid was staged because neighbors wanted the commercial operation Ferreira ran to close down because it hurt their property values; the neighbor next door had her house listed for sale at the time. To facilitate the raid, some documents were forged to make conditions at Ferreira’s shop appear to be hazardous, the plaintiffs state.

Judge Bianco dismissed charges against 11 defendants, including the town board members at the time.

“The only entity remaining is the town itself,” said Mark Radi of the

Court Rules Suit Can Go ForwardCarle Place law firm Sokoloff Stern, an attorney representing many of the defendants.

“The court found they did not falsify documents; in fact, the court recognized there was hazard,” Radi said.

Kelly said the case moves forward on the grounds the town “failed to provide due process before the seizure” and that his client’s “Fourth Amendment rights were violated.”

T h e t o w n h i r e d p r i v a t e contractors to raid the shop and numerous articles were removed, among them new tires, mechanic’s tools, a lift, and automobiles. Kelly said the town engaged in “Grand Theft Auto.”

Radi also opined that Bianco’s decision conflicts with case law.

Then-supervisor Bill McGintee, and former town board members Julia Prince, Pete Hammerle, Brad Loewen, and Pat Mansir were

among those targeted in the suit.Kelly guessed the suit has

already cost the town $100,000 to $150,000 and will become a lot costlier if it proceeds. He said he may consider making a “Rule 68” offer to the defendants. He cut a similar deal in the recently adjudicated case of another client, George Kusanovic, a former town employee. The town agreed to pay Kusanovic $75,000 to settle that case. A Federal Court Procedure 68 would cap the plaintiff’s lawyer’s fees and set a baseline for possible damages.

Radi said no settlement talks have taken place “in some time.”

I never get anything I like for Christmas. Time was, when I was a kid, Christmas was by far the most exciting day of the year. That’s because kids are showered with presents and never have to buy any, except maybe a tie for dad and a plant for mom. It’s no fun when you’re the one opening the box with the ugly tie or handkerchief set, es-pecially after you doled out a small fortune for the kids in your family.

I used to love board games. My first was Candy Land, which basi-cally involved drawing a card and moving to a corresponding colored space. If you landed on the right square you could take a short cut. If you landed on a licorice you lost your next move.

By the age of four I developed an easy way to win – cheat. There were all sorts of ways to do that, but the easiest was to play against really dumb kids – for money, of course.

Candy Land was a best seller for decades until a behavioral scientist

The Game Of Lifedelved into the psychological im-plications playing might have on a three-year old.

“Younger players may get upset because they have to move their pawn backwards. If you think mov-ing backwards will be problematic behaviorally, simply allow for only forward movement,” one wrote. That was the beginning of the end for Candy Land.

I’d go over my friend’s house lathered up for a quick kill and his mother would say something like, “Timmy doesn’t like to go back-wards and he doesn’t like to lose his turn so let’s just move the little pieces around the board.” In other words, I can’t humiliate Timmy anymore.

Oh boy. What fun. I suppose we have to start using handkerchiefs instead of our sleeves, too?

This was the same mindset that produced the idea that we shouldn’t keep score during any game. Thus, a generation of wussies was raised

to act like Alan Alda.After Candy Land came Monop-

oly. The trouble with Monopoly is that if you play a proper game with five or six people it took forever. I remembered starting one when I was 14 that didn’t end until my friend got drafted.

I used to cheat at that as well. I would just wait until one of my friends landed on “Pay Luxury Tax.” Since none of the dummies in my Brooklyn neighborhood could calcu-late the right amount I would just tell them it would cost more than they had so therefore they lost.

I still remember the game pieces. I would always be the racecar or the battleship. Talk about intimida-tion – how do you think the other kids felt when my destroyer came charging around the board at their top hat or thimble?

The other pieces were a shoe, an iron, and a Scottish Terrier. Who decided on the pieces? If you were going to go with the racecar and battleship you would think the others would be a gun, a plane, a tank etc., no?

The most expensive property was Boardwalk, which struck us as odd. Once we snuck down under the Coney Island Boardwalk and the sand was cluttered with empty liquor bottles, used syringes, and used condoms.

Years later they made Monopoly

boards catered to individual cities. So instead of Atlantic City you could get East Hampton or anywhere else you wanted. I think condoms, syringes, and empty pint bottles would have made good pieces for our game. “Mommy, how come Johnny always gets to be the used condom?”

“Shut up and move your dirty syringe, Rickey, it’s your turn.”

The other big game in my child-hood was Life. In this one you’d go to college, get a car, get married, and have kids. I immediately got into trouble when I suggested to Betty Iovine that we should go un-der the Boardwalk and make kids the real way. Mrs. Iovine called my mother and suggested she have me sterilized.

Nevertheless, there was noth-ing – except sex — to compare to the thrill of going over the three dimensional bridge with the wife and two kids in the car.

The game of Life was a metaphor for . . . wait for it . . . life. It told us we would go to college, get mar-ried, have a couple plastic kids, and buy a home. The game mercifully ended before the colostomy bags, walkers, reverse mortgages, and artificial hips.

In this, the ultimate game, we hope against hope to beat death. All I know is, if there is a way to cheat I’ll figure it out.


Independent VOICES

EDITORIAL


Democrats won’t soon forget the Election Day Massacre of 2014, and the nation will be wise to heed the lesson learned.

First and foremost, the election was a stunning repudiation of the Obama regime, both locally and nationally.

The GOP’s grip on the House widened, and the Republicans took control of the Senate as well, winning in every key state. That leaves Obama threatening to bypass Congress by issuing dubious executive orders, a strategy that speaks to his inflated ego more than anything else. Obama does not know what’s best for this county – that’s for sure.

Yes, the banks paid back most of the TARP money, as Obama and deposed Congressman Tim Bishop kept reminding us. But millions of Americans lost their homes because the government did nothing to address the untenable mortgage terms the banks deliberately imposed, and that is the real tragedy of the bailout.

The money could have been used to help those homeowners pay off mortgages, and the money would have ended up back in the banks’ hands anyway. Bishop never understood that, and it’s one reason he’ll be unemployed come January.

Obama made sure none of the key individuals involved in the financial meltdown faced criminal charges. He botched the rollout of Obamacare, stabbed Israel in the back, rolled over for Iran, and misread the dangers – and fear – of Ebola.

His threat to unilaterally offer amnesty to illegal immigrants will set up a blood bath in Washington D.C. Already, history will remember him as one of this country’s worst presidents. His arrogance will set up another bloodbath in 2016.

Locally, Governor Andrew Cuomo received a shockingly low vote total, testimony to the public’s disgust with all things Democratic, though a powerful teachers union contributed to Cuomo’s disappointing tally.

Even State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, an Independent, felt the sting, winning by only a 6-4 margin against an anonymous opponent who didn’t even campaign.

Making Sense Of The VoteIt’s interesting to note Thiele’s longtime, unofficial running mate Ken LaValle did

considerably better than Thiele did; LaValle is a Republican.The Independence Party in general, on the upswing only a year ago, had a

discouraging day. For example, Congressman-Elect Lee Zeldin got four times as many votes on the Conservative line as his opponent, Tim Bishop, got on the Independence line.

Already excuses are flying that the GOP machine funded by the Koch brothers defeated Bishop. Put that nonsense to rest; Bishop spent more money, and the big power brokers on the other side of the fence – George Soros, for one -- were feeding megabucks into his campaign coffers.

In the end Bishop’s “I am not a crook” ads did him in more than anything else. After 12 years in Washington D.C. he should have been able to run on his achievements, but the list is a scant one.

Are we worried that the GOP will return to its predictable ways of greasing the skids for the wealthy oil companies and HMOs? Yes. Are we worried no one on that side of the fence has advanced an alternative plan to Obamacare? Of course.

The GOP has two years. In 2016, we will have a chance to make history and prove to the world that America is progressive by electing a woman president, something that is shamelessly overdue. We finally elected a man of color to our highest office six years ago – oddly, many women supported Obama instead of Hillary Clinton, who was and is much better suited to lead this country. It was a mistake.

If Obama keeps shooting himself in the foot, he will likely take Clinton down with him.If the GOP insists on its anti-choice, anti-gay marriage agenda, or persists in

rewarding the rich at the expense of the middle class, it will open the door for progressive candidates including women, minorities, perhaps even gays, not yet in the public spotlight.

It will be interesting to watch it unfold.

Critically ImportantRick,

Since leaving office, I have not commented about Town Government affairs for fear that everything would be seen as political. However, recent events have forced me to speak out.

I fear East Hampton Town assets are at great risk and absent decision makers with strong financial resumes and vision, the taxpayers will eventually bear an unhealthy burden of current shortsightedness.

Specifically, I’m talking about the future

of the East Hampton Airport.During my tenure I helped resuscitate

and restructure Town government, significantly reduced property taxes, dramatically cut operating budgets, streamlined our workforce and learned to do more with less. As supervisor these efforts were recognized with 2013 and 2014 Moody upgrades and the first New York State Local Government Performance and Efficiency Program (LGPEP) Award recognizing our “leadership for their innovative thinking which will improve their communities.”

Now our progress is at risk.The maintenance of Town infrastructure

assets is critically important to the safety, health, security and overall welfare of the

Town. Unfortunately, current politically motivated decisions are jeopardizing our future.

I find it incredulous that we would burden taxpayers by bonding for airport maintenance and improvements, when we already pay a surcharge every time we board a commercial airline for the very dollars that some are rejecting now – FAA grants. Adequate bonding will require tax revenue for payment and a significant increase in the property taxes. There is no need for double taxation.

Recent presentations regarding the use and safety of the airport have clearly demonstrated a stunning lack of accuracy and abundance of politics. The metrics the airport opponents use to support

restricting access – or even closing the airport -- have been tilted at best. And the Town’s recent $60,000 noise study is prime example of manipulating facts. This needs to stop as it makes honest conversations impossible.

But it’s not too late to change. The East Hampton Airport is essential to the economy and vitality of our Town. I said it then and continue to refer to it as a jewel.

Simply put, this asset is bigger than any single person or group’s wants or wishes. It’s about the community. It’s about safety. It’s about the economy.

It’s time for us to end the rhetoric and misleading studies. It’s time for us to work together and find solutions. The time is

Face Of HungerDear Editor,

The East Hampton Food Pantry would like to thank Kitty Merrill and The Independent for its coverage of FoodDay 2014.

On October 24, The East Hampton Food Pantry partnered with SuperFood Drive, a national organization committed to changing the face of hunger by empowering and guiding food banks and food pantries in providing nutrient-dense foods and nutrition education to the vulnerable populations who rely upon them.

To celebrate FoodDay, the Amagansett School and Ross School organized SuperFood Dr ives and donated a considerable amount of nutrient-dense food to our food pantry. I would also like to thank Stefanie Sacks of Stirring the Pot and Joseph Realmuto, Executive Chef from Nick & Toni’s for orchestrating a cooking demonstration at the food pantry for Ross School’s fourth grade students.

The East Hampton Food Pantry hopes to continue and expand upon Food Day next year and we would like to thank our community and The Independent for its continued support of the food pantry.

VICKI M. LITTMAN

Balanced BudgetDear Editor,

Although the United States faces two years of divided government, having a Democratic President and Republican Congress need not bring total gridlock. This is an opportunity to pass reforms that will not take effect until 2017 or later, when either party may hold the White House or Congress, and the partisan impact of such reforms is unclear.

One such bill would reform the budget process by requiring future presidents to submit a balanced budget to Congress. This could be phased in, allowing the President to show steadily shrinking deficits for perhaps the first five years, and a balanced budget from that point forward.

A balanced budget proposal from the President would provide an important starting point for the debate over government spending. It would force the President and his cabinet to determine priorities. Congress, in its budget debates, would have to explain why additional

spending was so important that it would justify running a deficit.

The last time that this nation had a Democratic President and a Republican Congress, they balanced the budget while

also cutting taxes. Surely President Obama and the 114th Congress can agree on this modest legislation, a small first step toward a balanced budget.

PETER J. THOMAS

Thoughts on last week’s election results?

Barbara MoreaI’m not surprised by the way it turned out.People in our country are upset withgovernment, with Washington and withCongress not doing anything at all. Peoplewanted a change. It just seemed like anythingwas better than what we had.

Alicia LongwellLocally, I think we lost a very good man inCongress. Nationally, I understand thedissatisfaction. But this is no way to change it.Let’s be hopeful. Maybe some of those electedreally do want to get government going again.Something besides the completely negativeapproach.

Chris LewisI’m just glad it’s over. It was so negative.Nothing but completely negative. Nobody evertold me one thing about what they were goingto do to make things better. They just told mehow bad their opponents were.

Jackie HessionMy thoughts on the election? At least locally,Hallelujah! Finally the people of Southamptonrealized that it was a bad idea to havesomeone in office who, in my opinion, was acrook.

opinion of a renowned state expert. Levy learned the expert opined in support of his actions at the start of the series; his comments were never used in any stories.

The author cites subtle examples -- calling the Republican Party leader the “boss,” while offering the Dem the more respectful title of “chairman” -- that can sway opinion. He details other instances of blatant, fit the facts to fit the narrative coverage that would be downright laughable, if they weren’t so shocking.

Levy earned a measure of ire when he decided to replace county police with lower paid sheriffs for patrolling the LIE and Sunrise Highway. At first the number of tickets issued was down and a reporter from a Long Island daily tracked down an expert who said fewer tickets meant more danger

on the roads. Six months later, tickets were up and the same reporter found another professor who said increased ticket issuance has no effect on road safety.

“That chapter more than anything else sums up how a gotcha reporter can play games with statistics to fit his narrative . . . a reporter with an agenda will even contradict himself to get the story where he wants it to go,” Levy said Friday.

With its scores of examples of what not to do in journalism, Levy believes Bias in the Media should be required reading for any student looking to enter the profession. But, he said, “That would never happen because the journalism establishment is ridiculously liberal.”

Levy left office at the end of his term in 2011. After failing to garner the Republican nomination for a gubernatorial run, he announced he wouldn’t run for re-election. The

same day Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota announced the completion of a two year Government Corruption Bureau probe that revealed “serious issues” with campaign fundraising. He offered a belief that Levy didn’t personally profit from the “serious issues.” Nevertheless, the county exec turned over his $4 million campaign fund.

That chapter in his public life is not covered in Levy’s book. Asked why, he replied, “The book was about the media. You have to leave something for future works.”

And for the present? Levy’s got a number of irons

in the fire – he hosts a radio

talk show, serves as executive director of the Center for Cost Effective Government, practices law, and writes a column for Long Island Business news. All those occupations are overshadowed by his favorite activity – taking care of his two grandchildren aged one and three. “I’m having the best time in the world,” the former lawmaker, 55, enthused.

Bias In the Media was released last July. Levy isn’t planning a book tour or a big push for sales. It’s not about the money for him.

“I grew up believing everything I read in a newspaper was true,” he summarized. “My point to the public is, don’t count on it.”

Shortly after 2:30 PM on Thursday members of the Amagansett fire Department were called to 73 Louse Point Road for a reported working basement fire. first-arriving units found a home that had been built on top of a barge, but they were able to knock down and control the fire quickly and without incident.

What began as a glorious weekend Friday became an unprecedented one Sunday when the East Hampton boys soccer team won its first ever Long Island Championship. The victory propels the Bonackers into the New York State Class A Final Four tournament next weekend.

Two days earlier the locals upended Comsewogue to earn the Suffolk County Class A championship. Both games were played at Dowling College Stadium.

Talk about a nail biter. Sunday’s epic battle went into the second overtime period. Nick West scored with only eight minutes left on a free kick to tie the game in regulation, and the two teams battled through a scoreless first overtime.

The Cyclones and Bonackers went into the second overtime, both defenses thwarting offensive attacks.

East Hampton had a chance to put it away early but Josh Levine, South Side’s spectacular goalie, made two diving stops, including a shot by Esteban Valverde that seemed destined for the net.

A minute later Bonac’s goalie, Nick Tulp, proved his mettle, sprawling to deflect a potential winner. The save set up West’s heroics.

With five minutes left West, a senior midfielder, got another free kick and he delivered again. Pandemonium broke lose as the Bonackers, exhausted, and their supporters mobbed West and hugged each other. The victory

Bonackers Headed For Final Four

improved East Hampton’s record to 17-1-2. South Side finished with a 10-6-3 mark.

“It’s a great feeling,” said head coach Rick King. “Everyone is excited and ecstatic.” King has been the team’s coach for five years. He had a good team last season as well but Bonac was upset in the county semifinal, making Sunday’s victory all the sweeter.

West, a probable all-Long Island selection, notched 23 regular-season goals. Max Lerner, with 11, also notched double digits. Nine other players scored during the season.

Friday, it was another clutch shot by another Bonac hero.

Bonac and Comsewogue battled through a scoreless first half and were still deadlocked with 25 minutes left when Camilo Goday slithered past several Warriors’

defenders and launched a shot that ricocheted off a defender into the back of the net. From there, King’s charges played a game of keep away, with Bonac’s stifling defense led by Brian Oreamuno repeatedly preventing the Warriors from making a concerted offensive charge. In fact, Tulp only needed to make three saves en route to his 13th shutout of the season.

Jamesvil le -Dewitt (14-6-2) , representing Section 3, will be Saturday’s opponents. The game is slated to begin at 8:30 AM at

Middletown High School stadium. King said he is beginning the process of learning more about the opponent. “I have an old buddy up there in the Syracuse area I’m giving a call.” King noted that Jamesville “played a couple really good teams.” Still, he said, “I’d rather have one loss than six.”

In the other semifinal, Byram Hills (Section I) will play Greece Athena from Section 5. That game takes place immediately following the opener.

Bonac, which has 14 seniors

Riverhead AdvancesThe twice Defending Suffolk County champs are two games away

from a three-peat.The Riverhead Blue Waves knocked Deer Park out of the tournament

in a County Division II quarterfinal game 23-6.Ryun Moore, the star running back who got knocked out of last

week’s fray, returned to action with a vengeance Saturday. He scored from four yards out to give The Wave a 10-0 second quarter advantage, and then exploded for a 66-yard romp in the third.

Quarterback Ken Simco nailed Marcus Reid with a 44 yard touch-down pass in the fourth for the final nail in the coffin.

Moore ended with 121 yards on 18 carries. Simco went 15 of 27 for 182 yards, and Reid caught five for 113.

Riverhead, the third seed, plays at Half Hollow Hills West, the second seed, in one semifinal game Saturday. East Islip plays Bellport, the top seed, in the other match up.

on the squad including nine of 11 starters, will head upstate early Friday to get a practice in on the field.

To get to Saturday’s game locals should plan on a 3.5-hour trip. Get on the NY State Thruway via the George Washington Bridge (upper level) and get off at the Harriman exit, number 19. Take West 17 for 19 miles and get off exit 120, Middleton. Turn left on Carpenter, right on Wisner, and the third left on Gardner -- that’s where the field is located.

There will be a spectator bus that will leave East Hampton High School at 4 AM sharp and return directly after the game. As of Monday night, there were 51 spots available and the cost is $35 per person (The price will increase if the bus is not filled). The bus is open for students and adults in the community. Should the team win on Saturday, there may be a bus for Sunday’s final game.

Permission slips and payment to Mrs. Hand in Athletic Office are re-quired for students. Payment must be made to Mrs. Hand in the Athletic office to reserve spot. All checks should be payable to EH Student Association.

While East Hampton competes in a State Class A semi-final game Saturday morning, the Bonackers need only look down the block for some familiar faces. That’s because the Mattituck Tuckers are going to The Show as well.

Mattituck will play in the State Final Four Class B semifinals at Twin Towers Field at 9:15 AM. The locals earned a berth with a scintillating 3-1 victory over Rye Neck Saturday. It was the 15th straight win for the Tuckers, who haven’t earned a state title in 11 years.

Kaan Ilgin opened the scoring for Mattituck, and James Hayes scored on a header off an assist from Kevin Williams to make it 2-0 in the first half. Mario Arreola sealed the deal with a score late in the second half. The win ran the Tuckers record to 17-2. Next up is Skaneateles, the Section 3 champion. Should the Tuckers prevail in that game they will play for the state title on Sunday morning at 10 on the same field.

Other local high school teams wrapped up successful seasons last week. The Southampton field hockey team settled for the Suffolk County Class title. The Lady Mariners, after besting Pierson for that title, lost the Long Island Championship 5-1 to Carle Place Friday. The loss ended the season for the locals. Chloe Schmidt scored the loan goal for the winners.

The Westhampton Beach football squad fell in the Section III quarterfinals Friday night, losing a heartbreaker to Eastport /South Manor, the fourth seed. The Hurricanes, the fifth seed, clung to a 7-6 lead for most of the contest, only to get stung with seven minutes left in the fray when Jack Hobbie exploded for a 79-yard romp to give the Sharks a 12-7 lead. WHB (6-3) had beaten E/SM last month 32-31 in overtime. Eastport, now 6-3 on the season, has the unenviable task of traveling to Sayville Saturday for a clash with the undefeated Golden Flashes (9-0).

Last Thursday the East Hampton Boys volleyball team was eliminated in the Division II Suffolk County title game by Eastport/South Manor. The locals were the top seed going into the tournament.

Tuckers Going, Too


Residents of Northwest Woods in East Hampton:You are about to be billed:

ALMOST ONE MILLION DOLLARS BY THE TOWN

If you live between Stephen Hands Path, Hands Creek Road and Northwest Road on Wheelock Walk, Mul-ford Avenue, Barnes Ave.,Dayton Avenue and any of the cross streets in between you are on the hook.

Owners of houses will be billed $4,328.00Owners of undeveloped lots will have to pay a whopping $25,968.02

That’s because on October 16 the town quietly passed Resolution #1275, which will result in our roadsbeing paved. Some of us are OK with that, but look at the fine print: the roads will be built to Town Highwaystandards: that could mean 50-foot wide roads, double what they are now. In addition “shoulder areas” arebeing authorized. These roads will infringe on our paved driveways and landscaped lawns. Many of us have

fences that lie in the affected areas.

The laws state the town is proceeding with this plan “after an advisory vote was taken.” Did you vote? Thereare 200 of us. Call Supervisor Larry Cantwell at 324-4140 and ask him exactly how many “yes” votes did

the town get.

There are about 50 “Old Filed” urban renewal neighborhoods in our town with substandard roads. Many ofus paid about $10,000 in “road improvements” when we built our homes. All of us pay

FULL HIGHWAY TAXES EVERY YEAR.

The truth is, our neighborhood is a guinea pig, a test case, and we bear the cost. Why? A couple of our con-nected neighbors want this to happen and they got the ear of certain politicians.

DON’T BE A GUINEA PIG!

We can stop this in two ways: by filing for a permissive referendum, which will mean afull vote of every neighborhood resident. Or, we can file an Article 78.

Neither of these is expensive to implement.

Call the Town Clerk at 324-4142 for a copy of the resolution and a list of all of the affected streets.

If you don’t want thunderous trucks piling hot tar on our roads, front yards, and drive-ways during the summer season call me, Henry Murphy of Barnes Avenue,

at 631-276-8110 to discuss our options.

MindedSportsBy Pete Mundo

You’ve heard me say this before: “It’s not the coach’s fault! Blame the general manager!” I wrote two weeks ago in defense of Jets head coach Rex Ryan, while placing the team’s struggles primarily on GM John Idzik.

Ironically, as I watch the Giants 2014 season spiral into oblivion, I come away with the same conclusion for Big Blue: don’t blame Tom Coughlin, look down the hallway at General Manager Jerry Reese.

I’ve always believed that Reese rode the coattails of predecessor Ernie Acorsi to a pair of Super Bowl

Giants Loyalty A Brewing Problem titles. Frankly, the two rings are likely the only reason Reese is still employed by the Giants. This despite both championships having far more to do with a head coach he didn’t hire, and a quarterback he didn’t draft.

Reese worked his way up through the ranks with the Giants as a college scout, then pro scout, followed by director of player personnel, before being named GM in 2007. Despite his supposed “eye for talent,” Reese has drafted only one Pro Bowler, Jason Pierre-Paul, in the last six years.

Reese’s free agent acquisitions haven’t been much better. Despite needs at linebacker, offensive line, and defensive line, the Giants went on a buck wild spending spree on, primarily, just the secondary. They brought in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Walter Thurmond and Zack Bowman.

Elsewhere, while most teams continue to put a premium on finding a quality tight end, Reese has forced Eli Manning to meet and work with a new one nearly every season. From Kevin Boss to Jake Ballard to Martellus Bennett, and now Larry Donnell, the position has been a revolving door that hasn’t helped Manning develop any kind of consistency or familiarity with one guy.

As for coach Coughlin, many critics point out he’s 68 years-old. It’s a cliché, but in this instance, age really is “just a number.” Outside of the fact that he couldn’t reach

into his sock fast enough for a challenge flag last week against the Colts, Coughlin isn’t slowing down. He’s coached the team to a pair of Super Bowl wins, and he hasn’t lost any football knowledge in the time since. Reports are his work ethic and passion haven’t wavered.

If I were co-owner Steve Tisch or John Mara, I’d have full confidence in Coughlin coaching my team for, at least, the next two to three seasons. But, I would lack confidence in Reese’s ability to assemble a team that Coughlin can coach up to success.

Also, the offseason hire of offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo makes the coaching staff’s future much more convoluted. The offense has spent the offseason, and much of the past couple of months, learning the west coast offense. If Coughlin is fired and a new head coach is brought in, he will likely want his own offensive coordinator. In that case, is management going to ask Manning and the offense to use their third different playbook in as many seasons?

An option that’s been floated out there is McAdoo eventually replacing Coughlin. The 37-year old has drawn many personality comparisons to his boss, who’s 31 years his elder. But if the offense continues to be mediocre, McAdoo wouldn’t be worthy of taking over as head coach after one season with the organization.

Giants ownership is not one to make rash decisions and fire coaches or general managers on a whim. The Mara/Tisch team has always been loyal to their guys, and often times given employees the benefit of the doubt. But, there is such a thing as being too loyal. There’s no question that theory will be tested this offseason.
