To say the Lee Zeldin vs. George Demos Congressional Republican primary race is heating up would be like stating an erupting volcano is getting warm.

The race has ignited into a nasty game of who did what and when, fueling fears by the Republican Party hierarchy that whichever candidate emerges victorious will be damaged beyond repair.

Waiting in the wings is five-time incumbent Tim Bishop, whose reputation has also been tarnished – The Office Of Congressional Ethics concluded Bishop was most likely in violation of the law, and a non-parti-san Washington DC based watchdog group labeled him one of the “most corrupt members” of Congress.

Recently Zeldin has come out swinging, categorizing Demos’s repeated attempts to label him an Obamacare supporter as “100 percent untrue.” Demos has been hammering the theme for months with almost daily mail-outs to Re-publican voters.

“Either he doesn’t know what he is talking about or he is deliberately

Zeldin, Demos Trade Taunts And Chargeslying,” Zeldin said of Demos.

“Only an Albany establishment politician like Lee Zeldin would de-fend voting to fund Obamacare by saying it was procedural,” Demos countered.

Newsday recently revealed Dem-os is funding his own campaign – his coffers are virtually devoid of contributions from local citizens. Instead, his money apparently came, directly or indirectly, from his father-in-law, West Coast devel-oper Angelo Tsakopoulos, who is a staunch supporter of Hillary and Bill Clinton as well as Nancy Pelosi.

The Demos camp acknowledged $1.9 million of the $2.1 million in his campaign account was lent to the campaign by either Demos or his wife but noted 250 individual donors had made contributions as well. Zeldin said most of that money came from California Democrats as well.

Last week more bad news sur-faced for Demos – an article on LIPolitics.com accused Demos of vio-lating federal law by screening with the Long Island Republican Party while he worked for the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2004.

“It is a violation of the Hatch Act for a federal employee to . . . present himself as a candidate for a political office,” wrote Lawrence Kelly.

“That’s ridiculous. The more des-perate Zeldin gets, the more bizarre charges he will make,” Demos said.

Zeldin has come under fire by factcheck.org by noting that Zeldin, a New York State Assemblyman, ac-cuses Demos of taking money from “Pelosi’s team” without mentioning it is his own father-in-law.

Zeldin charged Demos does not make himself available for inter-views but Demos readily responded to questions from The Independent. “The more Suffolk voters learn about how Lee Zeldin went to Al-bany and went along with the herd, voting for every liberal program, the more desperate he is getting,” Demos said.

Zeldin said Demos has also refused to respond to repeated re-quests for televised debates; Demos claims Zeldin is dodging him.

There is no doubt that Zeldin has been stung by Demos’s repeated claim that he is an Obamacare supporter and even voted to fund

Obamacare on two separate occa-sions.

“Every Republican Assemblyman in the district voted no,” Demos said. “Lee Zeldin voted yes. And everyone knows that not a penny of state funds can be expended without the legislature voting yes.”

“I’ve never supported Obamacare and I never will,” Zeldin countered. “The line-item he thinks was for Obamacare was for an enrollment portal for Medicare. Obamacare is a federal program that is in all 50 states.”

Demos is adamant about the matter: “Zeldin voted to fund ObamaCare. It’s in the state’s $140 billion bloated budget that he voted for and everyone knows it.”

The primary is June 24, and one issue has obscured the others. Zeldin said it’s because Demos’s only hope is to “fabricate” an issue.

Demos said the bigger issue is, “Whether or not the voters of Suffolk want an establishment congressman who answers to the party bosses, or a true Con-servative who will fight for us in Washington.”

I publish this column every year as a public service to make sure your friends and relatives will think twice before they send you an invitation that will screw you out of a precious summer weekend.

I must admit it is harder to write my annual summer lament column this year because it was such a frigging cold winter and spring.

Remember, you can’t blame the miserable cold weather on Global “Warming” anymore. The contradiction of freezing your ass off during a “warming” was too great for the politicians to scare you with so now the new word is “Climate Change.”

But Climate Change or not, Memorial Day is less than two weeks away. So here goes:

Why do they do it?Why do our friends and relatives

destroy the summer for us? Why can’t they get married in February? Why do they choose the middle

SUMMER LAMENT, OR THE DELLA FEMINA CURSE

of summer to have birthdays, anniversaries, Bar Mitzvahs, family, college, high school and even nursery school reunions? That’s not all. Frankly, some of them are thoughtless enough to die in June, July and August, and there goes another summer weekend.

I promise that if it’s possible, when it’s time for me to go, I will go on life support until some rainy Friday morning in January so that my mourners can bury me early in the morning and still enjoy a three-day weekend. That’s the kind of generous guy I am.

Now I know you’re wondering what I’m ranting about, since you’re on top of the world because it looks like another endless summer ahead. Let’s just see how endless it really is.

If you work Monday to Friday like me, that leaves you with around 14 summer Saturdays and Sundays, plus three long holiday weekends. So from the minute you’re reading this, summer weekends are a total of about 33 days.

Now you know that at least 9 or 10 of these days will be cold, rainy days where no matter how hard you try to avoid it you’ll end up arguing with your spouse. All a man has to say is, “No, I don’t

think it’s romantic to freeze my behind off walking in the rain on the beach. Why don’t we stay in bed and fool around?” and that’s when the pouting starts. So write off 10 miserable days to weather and you’re left with 23 days.

Sound like a lot?I bet everyone reading this

already has one lost weekend coming up when your Aunt Matilda is celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary and she and your Uncle Benny would be broken-hearted if you don’t show up on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to their house in Brooklyn or the Bronx or Westchester or wherever the hell they live.

So, now you’re down to 21 days. If you’re young enough to have children, that means you’re stuck with a trip to some summer camp with an Indian . . . er . . . er . . . Native American name in Maine or Massachusetts, in the middle of what always turns out to be the sunniest, most beautiful weather weekend of the summer.

This is where you are sentenced to spend the weekend admiring neatly made bunk beds and ceramic ashtrays (which in these politically correct days are called candy dishes). Show me a camp that is wise enough to schedule parents’ visiting days on a Monday and Tuesday and I will show you a camp that deserves the exorbitant amount of money they get to guard your kids for the summer. An amount of money, I might add, that is more than it took, a few short years ago, to cover the tuition that would get a child through four years of an Ivy League college.

If your children are grown it’s even worse. They have children and all their children are having birthday parties in town in July, where you will find yourself overcome by heat while you’re surrounded by 20

sticky five-year-olds playing musical chairs.

What frosts me is the weather. Did you ever notice that every one of the weekends you have to go to a family event is beautiful? The sun is shining. The sky is blue. And you are stuck in some disgusting catering hall, or, worse, drinking warm white wine out of a plastic cup in some relative’s backyard in White Plains.

Which brings me to summer weddings in the city. They must be banned.

There are some facts that people who drag their friends away from the beach for their wedding must be made aware of. Jerry Seinfeld, an East Hampton resident, had a message for all the newly engaged couples: “Nobody wants to go to your wedding! We are not excited like you are.” Mr. Seinfeld is so so right. The only people who must attend a summer wedding are the bride and groom, their respective parents, the best man and the maid of honor and maybe a priest or a rabbi. All the other guests are hostages who may be smiling but inside they are seething because they have had one of their precious summer weekends screwed up.

I remind every dewy-eyed couple in my family that in the summer it’s bad luck to get married any place west of Westhampton. I remind them of the famous Della Femina curse, which is still going strong. I have, in my life, attended four weddings that took place on a summer holiday weekend (three Memorial Day, one Labor Day) and must report, in all honesty, that not one of these couples is still married. Pass the word – the marriages of people who screw up my holiday weekends are doomed.

A State Supreme Court Judge has ordered former East Hampton Town Justice Catherine Cahill to return over $1 million fraudulently obtained by her late husband, Marvin Hyman, in a business deal.

The money was part of $1.9 million paid to Hyman from the town’s Community Preservation Fund. Hyman should have split it with his business partner, the Honorable Paul J. Baisley decreed. He ruled for the plaintiffs, Nelson Gerard and Buckskill LLC, and ordered Cahill to pay the plaintiffs about $1 million plus interest dating back to 2005.

The back story — exclusively reported in The Independent (See archives @indyeastend.com issues 4/15 and 11/25 in 2009) is that Hyman apparently used his connections with Democratic Party officials to work out a sweetheart deal for himself and Cahill using CPF funds.

Judge Baisley, usually even-tempered, lambasted Cahill in his decision, implying her testimony bordered on perjury.

“The court f inds Cahi l l ’ s testimony . . . not credible. Her answers . . . were either self-serving or intentionally vague and disingenuous,” the judge wrote in his decision.

In 2003 Hyman approached Gerard with an enticing proposition – put up the money for a 9.6 acre parcel on Green Hollow Road dubbed Buckskill Farm, and Hyman would use “his connections” to subdivide it. The lots created would then be sold, and Hyman and Gerard would divvy up the profits.

Hyman used his clout several ways. He pushed the subdivision application through the planning process – the planning board was chaired by Brad Loewen in 2003 (He served on the town board the following year.) and the co-chair was Sylvia Overby (who is currently on the town board). Hyman proceeded in the face of a building moratorium that was in place.

Hyman also finagled to keep the parcel out of a proposed upzoning, and even got the town board to ease clearing restrictions on some of the wooded lots within the subdivision – an unheard of accommodation.

Much of the parcel – 6.9 acres – had been a working farm at some point in its past, which meant strict restrictions were in place to keep it from being developed.

Critics say the town’s purchase

Former Justice Ordered To Pay Almost $2 Millionof the farm was a carefully orchestrated charade.

“It was a ridiculous deal,” recalled John Lycke, a planning board member at the time. “It was obvious we didn’t need to buy it.” Lycke said the town could have simply upzoned the parcel, as it was scheduled to do, and limit development to three lots. Or, the town, which has a history of buying up property that was once the old Dune Alpin farm, could have simply bought the whole parcel a year earlier instead of allowing Gerard and Hyman to purchase it.

The town board took heat from Republican political opponents for not going through with upzoning

Hyman’s parcel. The board at the time was made up of four Democrats – Supervisor Bill McGintee, Pete Hammerle, Debra Foster and Job Potter, and Pat Mansir, who joined the party shortly after.

“Our sense was it wasn’t right to strip out the value via upzoning,” Potter recalled in 2009. “It might have held up in court but we felt the right thing to do was to continue to negotiate in good faith.”

But a review of the town records reveals the town board chose who it would negotiate with in good faith, often based on political persuasion.

Tom and Lianne Miller, for example, reached a handshake agreement with the town to sell the

development rights on their farm for $1.8 million. Two days later, the parcel was upzoned. The town then informed the Millers that the $1.8 million offer was being rescinded because the parcel was worth less money as a result of the upzoning.

Hyman did indeed sell the farm to the town for $1.9 million on October 17, 2004 but rather than split the money with Gerard he deposited it in a checking account he shared with Cahill. Hyman subsequently died – court papers reveal he knew he was dying of prostate cancer at the time. Sources said he had expressed the desire to provide for his family, though he reportedly

There is a distinct “what’s old is new again” feel happening in East Hampton Town.

Most noticeably, in Amagansett, where the venerable Vinnie’s Barber Shop, a local favorite for three decades, has moved from its Main Street perch - but not too far. It’s been reborn as Vinnie and Nick’s Barber Shop just east, down the alley at Amagansett Square. Stop in and say hey to the Mazzeos! Glorio Jewel, a very hip clothing store for women, has taken over the old space.

Meanwhile, Craig Wright’s Innersleeve Records moved from the Square, across the street, to Main Street – it’s the place to buy vintage vinyl, posters and more and record

Fresh And Familiar Faces In East Hamptonplayers as well. Innersleeve took over the space formerly occupied by Gone Local, which moved to North Main Street in East Hampton. It’s the one with the (don’t ask) barber pole out front.

The Golden Eagle, the art supplies store that was a staple on Gingerbread Lane in East Hampton Village, has been reborn at 79 Newtown Lane in the heart of the village, and it is chock full of not only art and craft supplies but ultra cool gift ideas.

Kate Spade is among the sparkling new retailers coming to town. Rumor has it the store will take over 17 Newtown Lane, the home of Juicy Couture last season.

Orlebar Brown is also set to open, just in time for the beach season, selling high end, cutting edge swimwear for men, women, and kids. The store will be located at 23 Newtown Lane, according to sources. Lisa Perry Style will take over the Main Street space where the Christopher Fischer shop was.

The big news this winter was Tiffany’s departure from its Main

Street location and the space was available for a neat $425,000 a year rent. Peloton is said to be moving in, selling its Peloton spin bike and holding spin classes there.

The Enchanted World of Amy and Monte Farber, a website that is “an online oasis of peace, beauty, and wisdom” is opening down the alley near Rowdy Hall, in the flesh. The couple offers consultations, sells jewelry and books, and hosts astrology readings. It promises to be a summer hotspot – these are two seriously cool individuals, and they know their stuff.

Andrra, the Springs bayfront eatery, is no more, joining a long list of establishments that included the original Bostiwick’s, Georgette’s, and Little Rock Lobster. This time around it’s been rechristened the Bay Kitchen Bar, and the word is it’s going to be a hotspot.

An estimated 270,000 sharks are killed every day. Yes, you read that correctly. Every. Day.

The harrowing statistic hit home recently, with the news of the fates of four creatures captured and tagged in last year’s history-making Shark’s Eye Tournament in Montauk. Only one is still sending “pings” to the satellite; two were caught by commercial fishermen and the fourth hasn’t been heard from since last September.

Hosted by Montauk Marine Basin, Shark’s Eye was the first ever catch and release shark tournament in Montauk. Four of the fish captured during the tournament were fitted with special satellite tags that allowed scientists, researchers and even members of the general public, to track their movements through the OCEARCH website.

O CEARCH is a non-prof i t organization with the mission of enabling research on great white sharks and other large apex predators. “For me, I was really excited at the beginning of the project,” OCEARCH founder Chris Fischer said this week. Shark’s Eye brought recreational fishermen together with scientists and, for Fischer, showed “We’re turning a corner.”

It was both a great opportunity to advance science and a cool way to involve the next generation in the study and protection of sharks. Kids in the sixth grade at Montauk School were able to name one of the four tagged fish.

Despite daily knowledge of the staggering stats, Fischer said, “We’ve all be in a state of shock to see, in such a short period of time [they’re taken] . . . Eight months later. Half of them are dead. Even for me, it makes you feel what 270,000 sharks killed a day feels like.”

Rizzilient, a five-foot, 85-pound mako, caught aboard the Fin Seeker last summer, was probably killed in February, Fischer reported. The shark’s last “ping” – which denotes when a fish’s dorsal fin has breached the surface – occurred off the coast of Portugal. Fischer figures the fish was captured in the mid-Atlantic, then driven back to port.

The next casualty was Beamer. A nine-foot, 200-pound blue shark landed by the crew of the Bluefin V was named by kids in the Montauk School’s sixth grade. It was probably taken sometime in the beginning of April. Fischer reported the captain of the vessel that took Beamer was “very cooperative.” Beamer made it to Costa Rica before capture.

April, a 108-pound, five-foot

Brutal Fate Of Montauk’s Tagged Sharksmako shark, was tagged by the crew of the Free Nicky. She cruises areas off the East Coast and stays in American waters, “so she’s safe,” Fischer said.

OCEARCH’s founder said one has to assume the last shark, Princess (five-feet six-inches, 125 pounds) is still out there. The last ping from Princess was received last September off Queens. Since pings only occur when sharks surface, Princess may not do that very much, or the tag may have

Derek Kleinow, founder of the “Hampton Hopper” bus service, met with the Southampton Town Board last week to discuss a new transportation proposal for the upcoming season.

Looking to launch a “social club” that offers a huge benefit -- convenient transportation at an affordable price -- to its members, Kleinow presented his idea for incorporating a bus service that connects village centers from Hampton Bays to Montauk.

“I’ve been here for 30 years,” Kleinow said at Thursday morning’s work session. “The traffic gets worse and worse every year. I never felt there was a good transportation system out here.”

According to Kleinow, the county busses and Long Island Railroad are not geared toward seasonal visitors and aren’t reliable or conveniently located.

“They’re not marketed toward

Hampton Hopper Hopes For East Endthe people,” he said.

Kleinow wants to start a service that’s geared toward both visitors and residents, running a bus service that can seat about 27 people per vehicle and drop them off at village centers.

“We’d like to run between village centers during the daytime and at night focus more on restaurants and nightlife spots, which I think would really help reduce drunk driving.”

Assur ing the town board Hampton Hopper would not be taking away business from local taxi companies, Kleinow assured the bus service would not be dropping customers off at their respective private homes, but rather at specific areas within local towns.

“Since the service wil l be stopping in central locations, there will still be plenty of people to be served by taxis,” he stressed.

Stops would be designated based

on traffic patterns as well as popularity with riders. Bottled water and soft drinks will be served on the bus rides.

“And it’s better for the cab drivers too. They get so bogged down in the summer, that they’re almost forced to be expensive and unreliable. They also prefer to do shorter trips, and this service could help them with that,” he said.

The goal for the summer, according to Kleinow, is for the service to include four busses that circulate throughout the South Fork hamlets. Right now, there are two being outfitted to be better aesthetically for adults. They will be diesel vehicles, though Kleinow would like to explore eco-friendly options that could include bio-diesel fueled busses.

Currently, Kleinow is looking for a commercial space “that’s not bothersome to anybody” as a base of operations. Most likely, he said, that would be in Southampton.

To m N e e l y, d i r e c t o r o f transportation for the town, offered his help to Kleinow if need be.

“It’s an interesting idea,” he

opined, “that can serve a real good public need. I wish him luck and I’m available to help him wherever.”

In regard to how much it will cost to ride, Kleinow said it will be $20 for a day pass, and around $300 for a season pass. He also noted there would be options for a weekly or monthly pass as well. A mobile app and website are also in the works for the service.

Deputy Super v i sor Frank Zappone said it would be beneficial for Kleinow to contact village officials, since most of the stops and operations would be taking place within village boundaries. Councilman Stan Glinka strongly recommended reaching out to local chambers of commerce, whose goal, he reminded, is to promote local businesses.

“I just want to make you [the town board] aware, and want to work in partnership with the town,” Kleinow said. “We also want to be something that’s looked favorably upon by visitors and residents alike.”

Rumor has it members of the East Hampton Trails Preservation Society have a pool going. The lucky winner will be the outdoorsman -- or woman -- who correctly guesses how many miles of trails weave through the Town of East Hampton.

Bob Masin, Andy Drake, and Andy Gaites can’t participate.

The trio – Masin’s the GIS

Independent / Kitty Merrill

(L-R) Andy Drake, Andy gaites, and Bob Masin are mapping East Hampton Town’s trails for online perusal. Tour Trails Online

supervisor for the town, and the Andys work for the town’s department of land acquisition and management – has been mapping the trails using GPS and recently completed retrieving the data. (Masin revealed the final mileage tally, but we’re not telling.)

The project started about two years ago, Masin explained, the outcropping of a meeting between

town representatives, the EHTPS and the Peconic Land Trust. At that meeting, said Masin, “We identified the need for an updated map.”

Throughout the spring of 2012, Masin began heading out to area trails and mapping them using a GPS. The two Andys came aboard last fall, taking over the actual mapping as Masin processed the data he’d retrieved. With Gaites and Drake on the job, the data collection accelerated. “The guys were able to bang out a lot of it in between snowstorms and tick season,” Masin reported.

The finished product will be an accurate, easy to read map of all the

trails in East Hampton Town. It will be accessible via the town’s website, Scott Wilson, director of the town’s department of land acquisition and management, informed. There could even be buttons allowing visitors to find hamlet-by-hamlet maps online.

The next challenge will be getting all involved parties – the town, state, county, EHTPS, the Nature Conservancy, and Peconic Land Trust – to reach consensus about how the maps will look and what they will include. Wilson hopes to include special features along the trails, but acknowledged too much detail could result in a cluttered look. “Maybe we don’t want to point out every cool rock,” he said. He was uncertain when the finished product would debut on the town’s website, but hopes to have it completed by early next fall.

Imagine a full college ride. It’s not just a fantasy. Last week Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the launch of a program that could be a dream come true for science, technology, engineering and math phenoms.

The S c i ence Te chno logy, Engineering and Mathematics Incentive Program was designed to encourage the state’s best and brightest to pursue high-tech careers in New York. The STEM program provides full SUNY or CUNY tuition scholarships to kids in the top 10 percent of their class in every New York High School if they major in a STEM field and work in a STEM job in New York for five years after graduation.

According to SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, STEM careers are growing more than twice as fast as those in other fields in New York. The governor’s incentive program is a valuable opportunity for the next generation to fill in the gap, she said, continuing, “The program gives top-of-their-class students a world-class education in high-need fields while creating a pipeline of elite talent for the state where our workforce and economy need it the most. At SUNY, we are looking forward to getting this innovative program up and running.”

“By helping New York’s best and brightest students launch their careers in-state and in STEM fields, we are laying the foundation for a truly world-class workforce,” Governor Cuomo said in a release announcing the program. “This program offers a tremendous step forward to the top 10 percent of our high school students, and it will open doors not just for them but for our State as a whole. I am proud to launch the STEM Incentive Program this year, and I encourage all eligible students to apply today.”

The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation is the state agency that will administer the program. Its acting president Elsa Magee noted, “Through this program, New York State is helping to foster a connection between a student’s interest in STEM and their ability to successfully pursue a STEM career. These awards will encourage more of our most talented students to pursue their love of science, technology, engineering and math in New York State, which benefits our State economy directly and the global economy, generally.”

Senator Ken LaValle serves as chair of the Senate Higher

STEM + Students = FREE SUNY & CUNYEducation Committee. He believes the “innovative” STEM program will encourage students to stay on Long Island as they build their careers. “I have worked hard to bring state investment into economic development in our region, and the STEM program is another component necessary to encourage our young talent to stay here as we work to create lasting, good paying jobs. I’m glad we are able to offer the STEM scholarships and I encourage eligible students to apply,” said Senator LaValle.

To be eligible for a STEM award, a student must be attending a New York State high school, be ranked in the top 10 percent of his/her

graduating class (beginning with the 2014 graduating class), and enroll in full-time study at a SUNY or CUNY college in the fall term following high school graduation.

Award details and applications are available at the New York State Higher Education Services (HESC) website at HESC.ny.gov. Applications are due August 15, 2014.

Dirty Deed Comes UndoneThe recent court decision ordering former East Hampton Town Justice Cathy Cahill

(see news section) to return money her husband obtained from the town’s Community Preservation Fund is just the tip of the iceberg. What lies hidden away may well be one of the biggest scandals in the history of the town and the entire CPF program.

The Buckskill Farm scandal, spearheaded by Cahill’s now deceased husband Marvin Hyman, is comparable to the blatant misuse of CPF funds to purchase Keyes Island, and the illegal misuse of the CPF under the regime of disgraced former Town Supervisor Bill McGintee that launched a criminal investigation by the District Attorney and the arrest of the town’s budget officer.

More than a decade ago Hyman partnered with Nelson Gerard to buy a 9.6-acre property off of Green Hollow Road for $2.2 million, using mostly Gerard’s money. Oddly, the town had been aggressively purchasing as much of the farmland in that neighborhood as it could, but nevertheless allowed this parcel to pass into private hands.

Shortly after Hyman’s corporation took title to the property the town bought 6.9 acres of it, all farmland, from Hyman for almost $1.9 million, leaving the more valuable remainder to Hyman and his partner; they then moved to subdivide the remainder into five building lots, all with stunning farm views.

In less than two years the pair doubled their money and then some; Hyman made a fortune from his $300,000 investment.

Not only did the town let him get away with it, but the planning board and town board greased the skids for Hyman, allowing him to not only carve out the lots, but to avoid a pending upzoning that would have limited him to two building lots. Hyman also circumvented a building moratorium that was in place. Court transcripts reveal Hyman bragged to Gerard he would use his “connections” to push his plan through. Other would be developers caught up in the upzoning/moratorium conundrum weren’t as fortunate.

Who were these connections? The same set of characters in office when the District Attorney began its investigation.

The District Attorney’s office for some reason adopted a hands-off policy when it comes to CPF purchases. There have been hundreds of millions of CPF dollars spent on the East End. Politicians are deciding what to buy and who to buy from, as well as what attorneys to use, what realtors, what surveyors, and so on. The system may well be rife with abuse.

Hyman took the town’s CPF money and put it in a joint checking account he shared with Cahill. In an interview with this paper Cahill denied knowing anything about the deal and told The Independent she never heard of Gerard, even though she was in litigation with him at the time.

Why didn’t the town buy the parcel outright instead of allowing Hyman to act as middleman and make so much money? Why were town board members less than forthright when discussing the deal with The Independent? Why did Cahill lie? Why was The Independent told that documents pertinent to the deal we FOILED for had “disappeared from town hall?”

Only the DA can get to the bottom of it – tragically, the DA’s investigation was myopic and the focus of its investigation narrow.

One thing is for certain: a small group of town officials went out of their way to enable Marvin Hyman and Cathy Cahill to make a great deal of money. What was in it for them? The answer to that question, we’d wager, will rattle this town to the core.

The judge in the case lambasted Cahill, stating her testimony was ”self-serving” and “not credible.”

The most egregious part of this whole sordid tale is that Cahill ran for reelection in the midst of this case and won. The citizens of this town have every right to be outraged that she was passing judgment on others when she was ethically-challenged herself.

Vastly EntertainingDear Editor,

I guess one has to be thankful for readers like Nicholas Zizelis, who simply cannot control his desire to expose the rest of us to his rhetorical claptrap. If nothing else, this stuff is vastly entertaining to me.

In his latest letter to The Independent, Mr. Zizelis does what the Left does best -- which is to use sloganeering and incantation in an attempt to make a

sociopolitical point. See, all you have to do if you’re a Lefty trying to make a point, is to associate two things: the stagnant wages of the middle class and the political contributions of the Koch brothers -- which either have no logical connection, or depend on the reader to “get” what he is trying to say. It’s like the rooster who thinks his crowing raises the sun every morning. That’s not how it works.

If Mr. Zizelis wants to edify the reader, then he should do just that. I, for one, learn nothing from inference (“well, you see, those evil Koch brothers support Republican candidates who in turn, once elected, do what has to be done to keep the middle class down” -- or something like

that). I want facts, causation shown, etc. I won’t learn anything about your side of the political debate if all you do is whine.

NICHOLAS SARIDAKIS

The Best EducationDear Reader,

School Board elections and budget votes will be held across New York State on Tuesday, May 20. In East Hampton, the polls will be open between 1 and 8 PM at the high school.

I have completed a three-year term on the East Hampton Board of Education, and will be running for another term. It has

been my privilege to serve the community in this role.

Educat ion , par t icu lar ly publ ic education, provides the opportunity for all our children to be ready for careers, for their further education, for their adult lives. It is my intention to help bring the best education to the young members of our community at the most efficient cost. Thank you for your trust.

disingenuous advertisements are being paid for via Legislator Lee Zeldin, making repeated false claims that conservative Republican George Demos is actually a Nancy Pelosi acolyte, on Pelosi’s payroll. Right. Maybe he’s a protégé of Nikita Khrushchev and Pol Pot?

The record: Lee Zeldin has promoted Obamacare since its inception, as well as the New York unSafe Act, and instead of distancing himself from Nancy Pelosi, Zeldin projects his unfavorable record onto George Demos.

Demos was too kind to call out Lee Zeldin’s fake, phony, and fraudulent claims.

Lee Zeldin not only voted for Obamacare in 2013, but also voted again for it in March 2014!

Zeldin voted AYE with state Democrats to pass the New York State budget, expropriating $24.3 million from New York’s taxpayers, containing both state and federal funding for Obamacare (Line 7, Page 391.) This was in addition to 190 million that can be found on Line 1, Page 405 of the budget. REF: NY State Bill S2600E-2013.

Fearing backlash from New York’s voters, whereas even in this liberal state Obamacare is wildly unpopular and not working well, Governor Andrew Cuomo, the Democrats, and Lee Zeldin then tried to hide the appropriations for Obamacare in Cuomo’s draft budget.

Lee Zeldin, the Democrats, and the appointed by Obama, not elected governor, lie.

Lying is what liberals and Democrats do; that’s who liberals and Democrats are.

Which brings us back to Liar-in-Chief POTUS who told the people: “You can keep your doctors. Period. You can keep your health care plans. Period.” At which point

Hillary Clinton likely remarked, once again: “What difference does it make?”

To the clueless whose Change had evaporated along with their futures and

whatever intelligence they had left, and their Hope too, it will probably make no difference at all.

ANDREW BENJAMINEditor’s Note: Cuomo was elected, not

appointed Governor, in 2010. Zeldin, who has visited this office on two occasions, has been on record as opposing Obamacare since its inception.

It’s a beach destination. It’s a fishing destination. It’s a dining destination. And, it’s becoming a music destination.

Five years ago Montauk native Ken Giustino organized the Montauk Music Festival to showcase East End musicians. In a release advancing this year’s festival, he said, “It paved the way to make Montauk even more of a music destination than it has historically been, and at the same time offered a way to extend Montauk’s tourist season.” National and international musicians are slated to appear in what’s been called one of the best festivals in the state.

By last year the event had grown to encompass scores of acts performing at nearly every

Music Fest This Weekend

possible Lighthouse District venue. Pick a musical genre -- rock, pop, bluegrass, reggae, soul, alternative, funk and folk -- and you can probably find an artist performing it over the course of the weekend. New arrivals will join popular local bands like The East End Rock & Roll All Stars (formerly the Blue Collar Band) and that lawmaker with a beat Legislator Jay Schneiderman, and celebrated Metro area artists like Oogee Wawa and this reporter’s personal fave NonStop to Cairo. (Visit The Independent’s website and click on archives for the August 8, 2012 for a profile of NonStop.)

The four -day (and night ) celebration is free and features a two-day showcase stage on the village green. Bring a lawn chair and grab a picnic to go from a local shop

for an awesome al fresco afternoon of tunage. Food and beverages will also sold by the Montauk Chamber on the Green on Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM to 5 PM.

“The business community is keyed up for this early spring event which draws thousands of performers and spectators to Montauk in a normally quiet time,” Laraine Creegan, executive director, Montauk Chamber of Commerce offered. Producers

are expecting 15,000 visitors. Tomorrow night’s opening party at Gurney’s Inn boasts a different act every 20 minutes with 11 in total from 8 PM till 1:30 AM. The party runs from 7 to 11 PM, with tickets at $40 per person for an open bar and hors d’oeuvres, but the music keeps going afterward.

In addition to the chance to gain exposure for their music, artists can partake in a free industry workshop at Gurney’s Inn on Friday from 2 to 4 PM.

Performers will get to “Ask The Experts” about recent trends in the music industry. The panel includes entertainment attorney Barry Heyman, social media marketing executive Jon Ostrow, MonkMusic Studios owner and engineer Cynthia Daniels, consultant and booking agent Kole Hansen and Randy Nichols, a management and tech consultant.

Motels throughout Montauk are offering discounted rates for festival attendees; visit the festival website and hit the motels tab on the home page for participating establishments.

A complete lineup of the artists performing, along with the schedule of the concerts can be found on the Montauk Music Festival website.

failed.Rav Freidel was the member

of the Concerned Citizens of Montauk who worked on the tournament with Carl Darenberg from Montauk Marine Basin. Freidel said he’d heard from area fishermen that Princess was taken off Freeport or Shinnecock, and her tag quickly disposed of by a captain who “didn’t want to deal with the feds.”

The vessel that took Beamer was 45 feet long, using a 60-foot longline with 3500 hooks on it. “That’s the gear that took Beamer. That’s the boat, and there are thousands of them,” Fischer said. Beamer and Rizzilient were both caught by commercial fishermen legally. “How long are we going to let this unsustainable activity be legal?” Fischer queried.

The scientist said he never dreamed such tragic results would occur so swiftly.

Children in Montauk school have been tracking Beamer as part of their science courses. “The whole idea was to get kids to connect with sharks, learn some geography, some math. The next thing you know it turns into a mortality study,” Fischer lamented. Another Shark’s Eye is planned for this summer and Fischer wondered. “What if it happens again, with 50 percent of all the sharks killed?”

As The Independent went to press yesterday, representatives from the education and advocacy organization Shark Angels were expected at Montauk School for a special presentation about the predators’ plight and their vital niche in the environment. Teacher Tim Brunn said students who christened Beamer researched blue shark habits and ecology and, once the pings stopped, reached a consensus the fish had been killed “and hopefully used for meat.”

He expected the Shark Angels to offer insight that underscores how vulnerable sharks are. Freidel hopes the good that comes out of the loss of the class “pet,” is the awareness of an international need to protect these creatures. Or, as Fischer declared succinctly, “We need to look after our sharks, they’re getting crushed.”

bought a $300,000 airplane shortly after the deal was finalized.

Cahill and Gerard have been in litigation ever since.

In 2007 Cahill asserted her “spousal privilege” and declined to answer questions about the deal. Later, she reversed field. Gerard’s attorney, Jeffrey Stark of the Uniondale firm Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo, Cohn, and Terrana, argued ‘adverse influence’ should be taken against Cahill -- that in essence allows the court to assume her answers would have been prejudicial to her.

According to the Code of Judicial Conduct a sitting judge has the “duty to be informed. A judge shall use reasonable efforts to keep informed about the judge’s personal and fiduciary economic interests, and make reasonable effort to keep informed about the personal economic interests of the judge’s spouse . . .” yet Cahill, when she was finally deposed, was less than forthright, according to court records.

Baisley said as much in his ruling last month. He said, given Cahill’s standing as a lawyer and a sitting judge, “Cahill’s professed ignorance as to matters fully within the comprehension of any lawyer or judge is not credible.”

Baisley ruled Hyman executed the deal with the town to sell the farm for CPF money without Gerard’s knowledge or approval. Hyman “deliberately and stealthily

carried out his plan to spirit away the proceeds of the sale out from under the nose of his partner.” Baisley also opined “Hyman [also an attorney] committed acts which raise serious ethical questions.”

A local attorney who did not want to be identified said Cahill could face disbarment.

Cahill must return $1,045,400 to Gerard plus nine percent interest calculated from 2005 on, the court ordered.

“I don’t think there are grounds for appeal,” Stark said, though it remains a possibility.

The process of collecting the money, which was not held in an escrow account, now begins. “The tragedy is I brought an injunction to stop them from spending the money but the judge dismissed my complaint,” Stark said.

Stark told the court in his summation that in his opinion Cahill committed perjury.

Cahill, in a letter to The East Hampton Star, threatened to sue The Independent after the original articles were written, but the latest court decision completely substantiates this newspaper’s reporting.

Cahill denied knowing who Gerard was even though she had been involved in litigation with him well before her interview in this newspaper. Cahill also disavowed knowledge of the Buckskill deal even though the proceeds were in her checking account.

Stephen Angel, who represented Cahill, did not return calls for comment.

Donation For Child Care CenterJohn Catsimatedes, the chairman

of the Red Apple Company who recently ran for mayor of New York City, has made a major donation to the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center on the Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton. The donation totals $105,000 and the money will be used to restore and refurbish one of the four

buildings on this 12-acre property where a dedicated staff provides care, courses, sports, a summer program and enrichment programs for local youngsters.

The board of this non-profit organization reached out to Catsimatedes, who has homes in Quogue and Manhattan one month ago to ask for his support.

The Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center was founded more than a half-century ago, after a terrible disaster led to the deaths of two children. At that time, many farm workers, mostly migrants from the south, were housed in substandard barracks on the farms where they worked helping with the harvesting of potatoes. One day in 1949, all men and women were out in the fields working on one of the farms when a fire broke out in one of the barracks buildings, killing the unattended children.

The board , in a c cep t ing Catsimatedes’ donation, has voted to rename the building he has paid to renovate “Margo’s Cottage” in honor of his wife.

initiatives and to meet the Energy & Sustainability Committee. Come learn about what the committee is doing, what problems members are facing, how the committee is addressing these issues, and how you can get involved.

Baseball, Softball Playoffs BeginIt’s crunch time. Those teams good enough to still be alive will

compete in the Suffolk County Championships and also for a chance to head to the state tournament in their respective classifications.

Mattituck goes in with sky-high expectations: The Tuckers finished 17-1 in League VIII, are 18-2 overall, and are the favorites to take the Class B title and gain entrance to the state tourney. The Tuckers are also odds-on to win the County Small Schools Championship and have a shot at the overall Suffolk title.

The action began at home Monday against Center Moriches, the first in a best of three series. The two squads square off today in Center Moriches. The final game, if necessary, will be played tomorrow up in Mattituck.

Westhampton (9-7 in League VII, 10-10 overall) earned a berth in the Class A tournament. The Hurricanes are on the road today to face Islip. The loser takes on the Number One seed, Shoreham/Wading River, on Friday.

The pairings in Class C, featuring Pierson/Bridgehampton (13-3) will be announced next week.

The girls softball playoff schedule is also due out this week. Hampton Bays (14-3) is a contender for the Class B title and Pierson/Bridgehampton (13-5) is always a threat in Class C.

T Ball This SaturdayThe annual T-Ball program begins Saturday morning at the East

Hampton Middle School field. Students from ages five through eight can register onsite at 9 AM and begin playing right away (until 10:30). The program lasts six weeks and is sponsored by the East Hampton Kiwanis Club. The league is free of charge and each participant will receive a T-shirt and cap.

North’s 3H bid is a cue bid showing a limit raise in spades. South accepts North’s invitation and bids a game in spades. Many declarers went astray when this hand was played recently in a duplicate game held at the East Hampton Duplicate Bridge Club.

West led the king of hearts and continued with the ace when he saw the doubleton queen in dummy. When West led a third heart, most declarers trumped in dummy with the five. East played the spade eight and South could not avoid an eventual club loser for down one. Even if South had trumped with the king, he was doomed to lose a trump trick and an eventual club trick for down one.

The winning line of play is to make a loser-on loser play at the third trick. Instead of trying to win the third trick, South should discard the two of clubs from dummy. He wins the next trick, draws trumps and now can trump his third club in dummy. Loser-on-loser plays can be very effective if trumping a trick might lead to an over trump by the

defenders. The play loses one trick that could have been won, but, simultaneously, avoids losing an otherwise inevitable loser.

Any questions or comments can be sent to [email protected]. We are conducting a weekly evening duplicate bridge game at the Child Care Center on Gingerbread Lane in East Hampton. Why not grab your favorite bridge partner and join us? Call me at 631-907-2917 for more details.

The NFL Draft is a weekend of hope for every fan of every team. The worst teams can pick up franchise changing players, and give the fan base that jolt of optimism it craves. As the event has moved to prime time and grown in popularity, it has become another chance for New York City to shine.

But, after a weekend of thrills surrounding Jadaveon Clowney, Johnny Manziel, and others, it appears the draft may be leaving the

NFL Draft Leaving NYC?City that Never Sleeps.

Rumors have been swirling for weeks that Commissioner Roger Goodell and Co. are seriously considering moving the draft around the country on a year-to-year basis. Being from the NYC area, one might think I’d be crushed and against the move. Instead, I couldn’t be happier.

The NFL Draft has been held at Radio City Music Hall since 2006, and has been hosted around New

York City every year since 1965. Goodell has recently discussed rotating the draft to other cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh. I believe this would be a fantastic way to continue to spread the NFL brand, along with giving fans a more realistic option to attend a draft.

W h i l e w e h a v e b e c o m e accustomed to living in a high rent part of the country, fans coming from Columbus, Ohio, or Knoxville, Tennessee, would be stunned to see the average cost of a hotel room in New York City is approaching $300. Without taking out a second mortgage, the average NFL fan could never dream of making the trek to New York City to watch and enjoy the draft.

Also, unlike when the NFL Draft started its run in NYC in 1965,

the novelty of the “Big City” isn’t as strong. In 1965, New York City had things and experiences that couldn’t be matched anywhere else in the country. But, as the world has continued to shrink, become more technology driven, and travel has become easier, NYC doesn’t carry the cache it once did.

The NFL would be best served sharing the draft experience with other cities. The league wouldn’t lose much on the entertainment or sponsorship front. As the NFL’s popularity continues to grow, the draft brings more fans, media members, and sponsors each year. This can be a great economic boost to many places, especially to some of the mid-market cities that are home to NFL teams.

As previously mentioned, the NFL Draft has expanded from a weekend event, to prime time, Thursday night through Saturday. Would you be shocked if the NFL tried for something along the lines of “seven rounds in seven nights?”

As the college football game cont inues to become more popular, players in the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds are not as anonymous as they once were. I can envision Cowboys owner Jerry Jones salivating to host an NFL Draft at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, and adding a week filled with parties, concerts, and various events for executives, players, and sponsors. The options are nearly unlimited as the NFL keeps exploding and owning the sports scene. Plus, the obnoxious Jets fans booing everything that moves has become a stale act.

Goodbye, NFL Draft? We hope to see you soon.

Bringing It Home - SafelyNational Safe Boating Week runs

from May 17 to May 24 in 2014. US Coast Guard Forces nationwide and especially here “Out East” have a lot of plans to take and make safety a daily, year-long event. This column is about that.

National Safe Boating WeekBy 1958, boating “by the millions”

rather than “by millionaires” was in full swing. What Coast Guard statis-tics showed was that the democra-tization of boating was coming at a cost – and it wasn’t the 29-cents per gallon for the gasoline. It was accidents and fatalities. The US Congress passed the Federal

Boating Act and the National Safe Boating Week was born upon President Eisenhower’s signature. It was initially run as a committee – US Coast Guard as chairman, with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Power Squadron and the Red Cross as its informal members.

It still took some time for the focused attention of the Coast Guard on boater safety to work its way through long habits and aged traditions. It wasn’t until 1973,

Bringing It Home Safely – National Safe Boating Week 2014

when 1754 people died in boating accidents, that the trend started to reverse. Why? Why else – money, people and untiring focus!

Safety First – The Big PictureSafety isn’t something you put

on like an overcoat. Safety, to be truly effective, needs to be part of your daily habit and part of that is education – day-in, day-out.

US Coast Guard Auxil iary Division-18 is all about that. Division 18 is comprised of four flotillas and it is at the flotilla level where the work gets done. Division-18 supports three Coast Guard stations “Out East” – SFO Moriches, Station Shinnecock and Station Montauk.

Boat Smart. Boat Safe. In 2014, the Wear It! campaign

will continue, reminding boaters from coast to coast to put on their life jackets when on the water. The campaign is sponsored by the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the National Safe Boating Council and many other boating organizations.

Looking ahead to the 2014 campaign, note that the National Safe Boating Council will offer

its free material on its website. There is nothing stopping marina owners, dive shop proprietors, camp counselors, and concerned parents from getting and using those materials!

The simple use of life jackets when engaging in any boating or paddle boat activity saves lives. Obeying and knowing the Navigation Rules or the nautical “Rules of the Road” through safe boating classes and not drinking alcohol or taking drugs while operating a boat, will save the lives of the boaters and those sharing the water with you.

Wearing a life jacket can reduce the number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each year by approximately 80 percent! It is a simple task that has the potential to reduce terrible loss of lives.

The goal of National Safe Boating Week is to emphasize the year-round effort to promote safe boating. All who enjoy the waters of our beautiful state are urged to practice safe boating habits. Remember: “Boat Smart. Boat Safe. Wear It.”

Kayak Races and TrawlerFestsAt $5/gallon for fuel, we can

expect the explosion in the use of paddle sports to continue and the Coast Guard’s Operation Paddle Smart is key to curtailing the

injuries and even deaths that these pastimes are piling up statistically.

Life Jacket StatisticsWorld War II brought us the

inflatable life jacket, as worn by sailors, pilots, and submariners. The fabric, which looked like rubber, dried out easily. Talcum powder was used to keep the fabric pliable.

Later on, military technology was applied to making consumer life jackets. These have developed through the years to the various styles we see today. But any life jacket, inflatable or otherwise, must be worn to work.

Here are the stats: 16 people go in the water with life jackets on and 15 come out. 16 people go in the water without life jackets on . . . and one comes out. (See The Independent archives at www.indyeastend.com, “Life Jackets Save Lives – Maybe Yours!.” 2/11/09 and “Do I Really Need to Wear a Life Jacket?,” 1/3/07)

May 17 is a nation-wide Wear It! Day. Join in leading yourself and your loved ones to safer boating!

Don’t be a statistic. BTW, if you are interested in being

part of uSCG Forces, email me at [email protected] or go directly to the D1SR human Resources department, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSo-hR and we will help you “get in this thing.”

ShinnecockThis week’s fishing has definitely

shown improvement. Plenty of striper action in the Quogue Canal; no keepers, but 27 3/4 inches is pretty good.

The Shinnecock Canal has lots of life; weakfish to 6.5 lbs; keeper size fluke, released of course; and schoolie stripers.

If that doesn’t do it for you, the yellow-eyed monster bluefish have moved into the bay and can be found chasing bunker or just look under the birds diving on bait. This week’s forecast of warm weather should get anglers on the water just in time for

On The WaterStripers, Blue Are Here

the fluke opener on Saturday. Peconics

The porgies have made their way to Jessups Neck over the weekend. Anglers had fish to 3.5 pounds on clams with plenty of chum. Double headers were the norm along with plenty of full coolers.

Those who explored Greenlawns looking for some catch and release fluke were disappointed. Guys looking for the weakfish in the usual early season haunts were disappointed as well. Best to work around the shallows where most of the bait is concentrated. The

bluefish should be over this way any day now. Shorebound/Beaches/Canal

The blues are here. Looking to tangle with these guys, the jetties of the Shinnecock Inlet or the old Ponquogue Bridge would be a good place to start.

Quogue Canal continues to pro-duce schoolie bass, a few weakies and a few fluke as well as the blue-fish. The ocean beaches have a few schoolie bass in the surf.

Shinnecock Canal has weaks, fluke, bass, sundials and sea robins in mass. The porgies should be showing down the north end soon and lets hope we see the return of the blowfish again this year. We did hear of a great bluefish bite down at Cupsogue with the 6 to 8 pound-ers being the average size on most anything you threw at them.

catch some flatties this summer or to get out on the water for some exercise, stop in and check out our new kayak and paddle board selection.
