The poster child for East Hampton Town’s new get tough policy on code violators is sitting in a psychiatric ward, recovering from a suicide attempt.

In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Sydney Griffin expressed anger and frustration at the way the town handled his predicament and the publicity surrounding it. “It’s humiliating,” he said.

Griffin, 75, has no money. He can’t afford to pay the electric or heat bills in his house in Northwest Woods.

He faces 28 zoning and code ordinance charges after a much publicized raid on his house earlier this year -- but he can’t afford a lawyer.

What he does have is a resume. Friends said Griffin was the youngest graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy, and the youngest to achieve the rank of captain. He skippered a cargo ship during Operation Desert Storm, earning the praise of crew members. He’s worked for the top cruise ship lines in the world. Griffin’s last job

Sydney griffin was one of the most sought after skippers in the world, manning the helm of cargo ships as long as three football fields.

Suicide Attempt By Alleged Code Violatorwas running a five-star cruise ship around the Hawaiian Islands.

”Unfortunately, he’s been suffering from a severe mental crisis for a long time,” said a friend who has known Griffin for decades. She did not want her name used. “He had dementia, but he was so smart – a genius — that people didn’t realize it at first.”

In his heyday Griffin was one of the most sought-after cargo ship captains in the world. In the 60s he took a cargo ship to China, the first U.S. vessel to enter mainland waters since World War II.

He was hired by the United States Navy to take the helm of The Antares, one of the largest – 947 by 105 feet -- and fastest merchant ships in the world. The ship was part of the Navy’s Rapid Deployment Fleet.

Griffin built the house for himself, but spent most of his time at sea. When he retired, he received a large lump-sum payment that was to be his retirement fund and it was by all accounts a considerable amount – Griffin’s salary approached six figures and his jobs always included free room, board, uniform

allowances, and so on.About eight years ago

Griffin took a boarder into his East Hampton home. “He might have wanted someone to help pay the bills but I think he just wanted a companion,” the friend recalled. The boarder ended up stealing Griffin’s money. “I went to the police with him, but they made light of it. They wanted no part of it.”

Since then it’s been a spiraling descent into confusion and poverty. Griffin took more boarders in, and they inevitably took advantage of him. He was busted in 2011 for many of the same types of violations he faces now – most of which, Griffin said, he is innocent of.

A c co rd ing t o the town’s press release the “single family house was converted into four separate living units with four different groups of people living there.”

“I rented to two tenants. Each tenant had relatives living with

them,” Griffin countered.“That’s not true,” that there were

four apartments carved out, said the friend, who has been to the house

Er . . . Mr. Devil . . . er . . . er . . . your holiness, we have a problem.

What’s this “your holiness” crap? I’m the Devil. This is hell and naturally hell is full of problems. That’s what hell is all about – problems.

Mr. Devil, it’s that same group that has been causing all the trouble since 1875 and now they’re threatening another revolution and they say that when they take over hell you’ll be out on your tail.

Send them in. I will show them that you can’t negotiate with the devil.

FOUR MEN SHUFFLE IN CARRYING PITCHFORKS, LOOKING MISERABLE.

Who are you?

WeLCoMe to HeLLI’m Stalin.I’m Lenin.I’m Marx.I’m Khrushchev, and we’re pissed.

I’m the spokesman.In 1951 I told that schmuck Nixon

that communism will win over capitalism.

In 1953 I told the world and the United States that “We Will Bury You.” I said communism would defeat capitalism.

The whole world laughed at us.People all over the world said: Who

wants to live in a world where the government owns everything? Who wants to live in a country where if

you work hard and make a lot of money you have to give most of it to the government so they can give it to someone who didn’t work as hard?

Then the Berlin Wall came down and everyone thought socialism and communism were dead. We went down in history as losers. But now our day has come. America is heading our way. Soon it will be a socialist state. Let us praise Barack Obama.

America fell for Obama’s attractive smile, handsome face and great speechmaking ability.

Americans didn’t listen to what he said, but they sure loved the way he said it. They even re-elected him after he messed up his first term.

Obama called for a redistribution of wealth and he has kept his promise. He talks about the 1% with money taking advantage of the middle class and the poor.

Soon the wealthy will be eliminated.And, of course, we have Obamacare.Yes, there have been a few shall we

say “hurdles,” but with his executive orders and his ignoring Congress, in time Obama will completely control healthcare.

Next will come the other “enemies of the state”: The pharmaceutical companies. The insurance companies. They must be destroyed.

Then will come forcing doctors to work for the state. America will have socialized medicine with everyone getting terrible but free health care equally.

Thanks to Obama, the unions are on the way back and they are more powerful than ever.

There is no opposition. The Republican Party is stumbling and bumbling. Rand Paul? Would you believe that Libertarian putz Rand Paul running against our sainted Hillary?

America is on the way to being a

one-party country.And someday Russia will occupy it.Putin will first send Russian

soldiers to occupy Brighten Beach in Brooklyn because he will claim Brighten Beach is his because it’s filled with Russians.

Naturally Obama will file the strongest, strongest, strongest protest with the U.N. He will go on television and put on his most serious face. He will say he’s setting the red line in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and when the Russians take Prospect Park, Obama promises he will stamp his feet in protest.

Wait a minute. I’m the Devil. What do I care about Obama, and all this stuff. What am I supposed to do about all this?

Give us the respect and recognition we deserve.

Senator Nancy Pelosi won’t be satisfied until life is hell on earth for anyone who works for a living. Certainly, Mr. Devil, she’s working for you. Let her stand up and recognize us as the people who were redistributing wealth long before that newcomer Obama.

As Devil you are close to some of the media, like The New York Times and MSNBC. Let them stop pretending they’re impartial. Let them give credit where credit is due.

Let the wor ld honor us . Communism and socialism has defeated capitalism in the United States of America.

What else do you want?No offense, Mr. Devil, but you’re

getting old. We demand a voice in who will succeed you in ten billion years.

Forget Obama, forget Pelosi, forget Harry Reid. Forget Newt Gingrich. Forget that strutting fool Putin.

We insist that there is a man who will rise to the top of the socialist world and lead us all to glory in hell.

This is a man who will rule the world of communism with an iron fist.

This is a man who knows how to hypnotize the poor into blindly following him. Today New York . . . tomorrow Europe, Africa and Latin America.

This is a man who, in our opinion, is the Socialist/Communist Rookie of the Year.

Let’s hear it for Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City.

Bill de Blasio. I’ve had my Devil’s eye on him.

He would be a good choice to succeed me in ten billion years. He does show promise. He’s only been Mayor for a few weeks and already New York City is going to hell.

Come join us, Mr. Devil. Let us chant the Bill de Blasio mantra:

FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY. TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEEDS.

By Kitty Merrill

East Hampton Town’s freshmen councilmembers Fred Overton and Kathee Burke-Gonzalez are brimming with enthusiasm and ideas. With over two months on the job under their belts, the pair sat down recently with The Independent to talk about how their first 60 days in office have gone.Overton

The town board’s sole member voted in on the Republican line, Overton was full of praise for Supervisor Larry Cantwell’s inclusive leadership style. Starting right after Election Day last fall, Overton was part of every transition discussion. “That was key to setting a tone,” he observed.

January was ”a hectic first month,” as “everybody with an issue” sought out Overton’s ear. “They wanted to re-affirm their positions and see if I can support them.”

Having served for years as town clerk and been present at dozens of board meetings and work sessions, Overton had a leg up when it came to knowledge of ongoing initiatives.

Good thing, since out of the gate town officials had to grapple with a seemingly never-ending cycle of snowstorms. As liaison to the town’s emergency preparedness committee, Overton was front and center for discussions about how best to handle the bounty of blizzards. He’s interested in improving how the town provides emergency information when storms loom.

Overton was also assigned to the Nature Preserve Committee and the Deer Management Committee. With a proposed deer cull planned -- and opposed -- the DMC was “on the front burner right away,” Overton related. When it came down to making a decision, Cantwell and Overton met with staff from the town’s natural resources and planning departments. Without a proper environmental assessment, the town decided to hold off on participating in the cull this winter. “I’m still open to it,” Overton said. “But I’d like to see if I can’t get local hunters involved in some fashion. It’s on the back burner

Newbies Settling Infor now.”

Cull discussion may dominate town talks next fall again. For now, Overton’s got an eye on issues with a more immediate future. They’re no less controversial. He’s been tasked with shepherding proposals designed to limit the number of commercial vehicles and “light trucks” that can be parked at a residential property. The last administration attempted to craft code revisions designed to keep private, residential properties from morphing into de facto businesses. Overton’s facing the challenge of balancing the needs of neighbors with those of small businessmen.

The councilman is also trying to get his arms around another measure that could help address

quality of life issues in residential neighborhoods. Some say the creation of a rental registry could provide teeth to code enforcers looking to investigate and prosecute landlords and tenants in illegally overcrowded homes. Prior efforts at creating a town wide rental registry failed years ago. Overton’s studying registries in neighboring towns.

“I want to do it right,” he said. “I want to make sure everybody has a chance to comment on it and that it’s well vetted.” He’s hoping to have something in place for the light trucks before the summer season begins.

He’s also eager to hear back from the Army Corps of Engineers regarding plans for erosion control in downtown Montauk. A promised study was supposed to be distributed before the end of 2013, but was delayed due to obstacles related to Continued on page 26.

A new Suffolk County law requires all swimming pool and spa maintenance companies to be licensed. Owners are required to take a weeklong certification course, pass a test, and join the Long Island Association of Pool and Spa Professionals.

Though politicians lauded the measure as a way to control the chemicals used in spa cleaning, some professionals blanched at the costs involved in the certification process. Also in question is the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals, which stands to enrich its coffers considerably as a result of the law - APSP is the

New Law Licenses Pool And Spa Cleanersonly entity licensed to administer the test, and its huge lobbying arm contributes liberally to local politicians.

The cost of the county certificate itself is modest -- $100 every two years. But the course will cost from $500 to $800, and the cost of joining the APSP is $395 to $585 depending on the size of the pool company.

“It’s a lot of money,” acknowledged Legislator Jay Schneiderman. He acknowledged the pool and spa industry has an active lobby.

Schneiderman is concerned the county won’t enforce the law. “It seems Consumer Affairs is not enforcing anything on the East End,” he said.

Not so, said Joan Taylor of the County Consumer Affairs Department . “There wi l l be enforcement,” she said, when the new law takes effect on July 17. She said her department sends out investigators and they literally “drive up and down the streets. When they see a pool being serviced, they will approach the workers and will check for the license and to see what chemicals are being used.”

Taylor acknowledged APSP is poised to make a killing on the new legislation, and said she hopes the county will begin offering the course in the coming years.

Jonathan Hillman of Sunrise Pools noted the new bill is quite

costly – it will be over $1000 out of his pocket. “It’s a good thing if they go after the guys who don’t do it,” he said. “People who are not licensed and insured need to be weeded out.”

Karen Pinto, a spokeswoman for the Long Island Chapter of APSP did not return two calls seeking comment.

Taylor said, “Not one person is pleased” with the cost of the certification process. She said her office is committed to “enforce the law the best we can” and said there will be an 800 hotline set up for homeowners and pool professionals to report those who are engaged in the business without a proper permit.

The new law has some teeth to it: “any person who operates a pool maintenance business without obtaining a registration certificate” could be fined as much as $5000 and/or face imprisonment for one year.

After two meetings with East Hampton town and village officials last week, PSEG honchos agreed to bury the power lines that have been a source of passionate opposition for area residents.

L a s t Thur sday the t own board unanimously approved a memorializing resolution seeking Governor Andrew Cuomo’s “financial assistance and intervention” in requiring PSEG to bury lines the utility is currently installing along a six mile route from the village to Amagansett.

Thursday night’s resolution was bookended by meetings with PSEG officials, Supervisor Larry Cantwell, Village Mayor Paul Rickenbach and community members held on Wednesday and Friday.

Although the first work session was not designed to include public input, signs stating “bury the lines” posted throughout a standing room only town hall got the message across. At Wednesday’s meeting PSEG president and Chief Operating Officer David Daly agreed to consider alternatives to the project currently underway. Community members are exorcised about the installation of giant, 65-foot poles for high voltage electrical transmission lines along a route through densely populated neighborhoods.

While he agreed to consider a different route, and burying the lines, Daly said he would not halt the ongoing work. The current project, estimated at $7 million, has

PSEG Says: You Pay, We Buryalready seen some 250 of 266 poles installed. PSEG’s plan is to complete the project and work on reviewing the alternative at the same time.

By Friday, after a private meeting with Cantwell, Rickenbach, as well as Senator Ken LaValle, Assemblyman Fred Thiele and representatives of the community group, Save East Hampton: Safe, Responsible Energy, Daly promised to remove the big poles and install new transmission lines under ground within 16 months of the approval of project financing.

With a cost of burial at between $2 million and $4 million per mile, who pays is the multimillion dollar

question. Last month Cantwell suggested seeking FEMA money dedicated to post Superstorm Sandy repairs, but in published reports, PSEG officials said they weren’t sure the money is applicable in East Hampton’s situation. Pressed, Daly said this week, further exploration of the option could be attempted. So, too, could pursuit of state grants.

Lacking federal or state funding, it could be up to local residents to foot the bill. Sunday, at the Empty Bowls fundraiser in East Hampton, Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc mused that, if the financing falls on local shoulders, he’d want to

hold a town wide referendum vote on the matter.

Reporting on the private meeting on their Facebook page, Save East Hampton reps said PSEG will have a presentation of alternate routes available in the coming months, with a summary of funding sources compiled within four weeks’ time.

Southampton Town Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor met with the Southampton Town Board last Thursday to discuss equipment needs and possible sources of funding.

“It’s been a hard winter,” Gregor said. “We’ve been pushing the men and women in the highway department pretty hard.”

According to Gregor, some of the department’s employees worked anywhere between 10 and 45 hours straight, trying to clear roads constantly being dumped on with this season’s abundant snow storms.

“We’ve seen their overtime numbers,” said Councilwoman Bridget Fleming, “they did an amazing job.”

Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst

Town And Hwy Supe Talk Turkeyjoined Fleming in “recognizing them. We owe them a debt of gratitude,” Throne-Holst said.

Gregor stressed the highway department uses their equipment “a lot,” noting the current situation after this brutal winter sees 18 trucks down for the count. He also mentioned the department still utilizes trucks dating back to 1993, using them as plow trucks.

Gregor opined it would be a good idea to purchase sweepers for snow removal, noting the town could purchase two for $159,000 as opposed to purchasing one from the county at $167,000 a pop. The sweepers, according to Gregor, pick up debris including snow, pieces of asphalt, leaves, compost and more and does it all in one quick, efficient shot.

The superintendent said the

sweepers would last as long as 20 years, noting, “it’s a good machine, we should take advantage of this opportunity.”

Replac ing a payloader in Bridgehampton was another request Gregor deemed necessary, assuring “a new one will last for as long as the Town of Southampton.” According to Gregor a new payloader would cost about $122,000.

Another immediate need was the replacement of any number of plow trucks.

“We need to replace some of these,” he said. “We’re asking you for some money to do that.”

Gregor said he’s holding off on a major overhaul, equipment wise, within his department, trying to utilize what he already has.

“We try to make what we already have multi purpose, with no vanity fleets,” he said.

Throne-Holst questioned what the actual cost of this winter was for the highway department, suggesting “putting our heads together to get

a better understanding of this,” and mentioning how costs could potentially be as much as 40 percent above the cost of a usual winter season.

Comptroller Len Marchese was on hand to discuss what budget restraints the highway superintendent had. According to Marchese, the department’s overtime was budgeted at $175,000 yet about $192,000 was spent.

“We need to come up with a plan to get you through the rest of the year,” Marchese said to Gregor, suggesting possibly implementing a joint fleet management to cut down on costs.

Gregor said he didn’t think it was that bad compared to other towns.

“It’s been an unrelenting winter,” Fleming said. “But I haven’t heard a lot of complaints [about town roads not being clear]. You should really be commended.”

Gregor said he and his team would be ready to take on any challenge.

“We want to make the Town of Southampton a better place for residents and visitors,” he said, half-joking “although we still have that occasional unfortunate mailbox . . .”

Over the next two weeks, the East End will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, a time of the year that’s become a special season in the hearts, minds, and spirits of locals and visitors alike.

The first of several parades is this Saturday in Westhampton Beach.

The Westhampton Beach St. Patrick’s Day Parade committee announced Quogue resident Donna Conti will serve as grand marshal at Saturday’s 47th annual parade.

Conti, a woman the committee deemed “a community servant,” is the tenth woman to take the lead in the parade’s history. She is the third member of her family to do so,

Get Your Green Onafter her father Jim Gohery in 1995 and her brother-in-law Seth Allan in 2009.

“She’s a great choice and the parade committee is proud to have Donna as our 48th ever grand marshal,” said parade committee pres ident T im Laube in an announcement. “Donna brings an intense energy level to any project she gets involved with, whether it’s working with the booster club, coaching or as a Conehead, she gets it done.”

As a “Conehead,” Conti is part of a secret group of locals that every year finds a unique way to work current events, social commentary, politics

and other themes into whatever the respective theme of the parade is. And they do so while barbecuing a pig on the parade route. Usually, the Coneheads’ fun and spirited floats win top prize.

Following the tradition of the parade’s past Grand Marshals, Conti got to select the parade’s theme. For this year, the theme is Dream Green.

This year’s parade will step off from the Westhampton Beach Elementary School on Mill Road and end on Main Street near Sunset Avenue. Parade is slated to start on Saturday at noon.

Other Paddy’s parades are scattered around the East End this month.

The sixth annual Am-O-Gansett Parade, dubbed “the world’s shortest parade,” is also on Saturday, starting at 12:02 PM. See elsewhere in this

issue for more details.The North Fork Chamber of

Commerce hosts its tenth annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday. Step off is 2 PM. The parade runs from Cox Lane to Case’s Lane in Cutchogue.

Saturday will also feature a traditional Irish dinner with the 11th annual Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner at the Point Bar & Grill from 5:30 to 8:30 PM in Montauk. Tickets are $15 per person, $10 for children. The evening, hosted by the Montauk Friends of Erin, will include music by Todd the Guitar Guy and raffles and prizes will round out the night.

As March marches on, Hampton Bays, Jamesport and Montauk will host lively processions on March 22 and March 23, respectively. The Hampton Bays parade starts at the

EDITORIALProper Decorum

There is a right way to do things and a wrong way. Government officials, especially, are bound to a higher standard – a degree of professionalism should be exhibited at all times.

A recent East Hampton Town Hall meeting with representatives of the utility company PSEG serves as a primer of how NOT to conduct oneself in public.

PSEG, reacting to complaints that a series of electric poles being installed in East Hampton Village and Town are unsightly, took the complaints seriously – seriously enough that David Daly, the CEO of the huge utility, personally attended a meeting about the matter.

One can only assume he expected some serious discourse. His very presence was a signal that the utility took the complaints seriously and was genuinely interested in finding a workable solution.

Instead, he walked into a dog and pony show, a hostile environment replete with signs hung all over, even behind the dais. Along with East Hampton Mayor Paul Rickenbach and the new East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell, the room was filled with some 150 citizens, almost all of whom were vehemently opposed to any sort of sensible dialogue. Their message was myopic: we want the poles taken down, and we want the work stopped now!

Many were from a group called Save East Hampton, a group of well-meaning folks who, unfortunately, play loosy-goosey with the facts. The group’s ads say the poles were installed without anyone’s knowledge or permission. This is a patently false statement. Every homeowner along the route was notified by mail, and PSEG can prove it. The discussions with the village began in late 2012, and there were dozens of pieces of correspondence reviewed by the mayor and Cantwell, who was Village Administrator for much of the process.

There was a public hearing, and only afterwards, almost a year after the process

began did the village issue the necessary permits to PSEG – the town quickly followed suit.

Cantwell, for his part has kept his head firmly stuck in the sand throughout these protests. He sat silently as a group of McGuirk Street residents complained – never mentioning that the village approved using their street on his watch. He sat silently as his Svengali, former town board member Debra Foster, a Democratic party operative, blamed the entire thing on Cantwell’s predecessors, who played an incidental role at best.

Make no mistake about this: this project originated in the village, and a thorough review process transpired. Perhaps it could have been stopped, but our village fathers decided to allow it to proceed. Unfortunately, we are left with these eyesores.

This is not going to end well. Ultimately, when all of the state and federal money and all the FEMA funds and all the grants everyone is talking about are tallied, there is not going to be anywhere near enough money to bury the electric lines.

And then we will get the truth – the ratepayers are going to have to foot a significant amount of the cost. We sense the majority of citizens don’t want to pay for the few who have been inconvenienced. PSEG was open and honest about what size the poles were and where they would be placed. If the people on those blocks don’t want them there, the cost for their removal should rightfully be borne by those objecting to them, not the rest of us. If there is any doubt, let’s put it to a public referendum when the time comes.

That said, every citizen of this village and town should be embarrassed about how the meeting was handled last week. There were a few classy people there – and most of them sat on the PSEG side of the table.

We’ve already succeeded in pissing off the governor and the head of PSEG by acting like spoiled, petulant rich kids. It’s just a matter of time before we get our comeuppance.

SwitcherooDear Mr. Murphy,

Democrats tend to argue that any opposition to their platform is obstructionism, however a difference exists between legitimate debate and obstruction. Likewise, a difference exists between back-room dealing and compromise. For example, prior to the last election Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst supported Democratic Councilwoman Bridget Fleming’s resolution to prohibit par ty members f rom serv ing on Southampton’s land-use boards. However,

after the election, she reversed her position. Yet because Ms. Throne-Holst replaced two Republican committee board members, The Southampton Press wrote that she addressed the issue of political influence while stopping short of pay-back.

If so, why did Democrats who supported Ms. Throne-Holst prior to the election oppose her “about-face” and why did Republicans praise it? Ms. Throne-Holst’s alleged compromise gives the appearance of a back-room deal because it avoids a debate about the influence of money and private agendas on the land-use boards, and while I respect Ms. Fleming’s argument,

I cannot agree that all party members are inherently dishonest or that members of one party will counterbalance members of another party as proven by Ms. Throne-Holst’s switcheroo.

Because the land-use debate was misdirected, I believe that Republicans missed an opportunity to appoint a chair with a modern understanding of the power of zoning. Unlike former Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, who understood that zoning is a vehicle essential to the economic success of the entire population, I’m afraid Ms. Throne-Holst gives the appearance of making decisions to further

her own political career and little else. SUSAN CERWINSKI

Consequences EvidentDear Editor,

Thank you for your editorial on the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. It is rare to see such a truthful analysis of this infringement on our personal lives in newsprint. While Americans are reeling under massive unemployment, always under-reported, now at about 17 percent, welfare recipients have seen an increase in their funding by 30 percent, while Social Security and military benefits have increased by 1.5 and 1 percent, respectively.

People tell me they’re being cut back to 29 hours because the companies cannot afford the ACA, which cost so much more than the much better insurance they previously had. Then, try to find a doctor or hospital that will accept Medicare or the ACA.

The consequence becomes more evident with further shortages in doctors and registered nurses, hospitals unable to stay open with the loss of compensation.

In the meanwhile, the president has just delayed full implementation another two years so that the full ramifications don’t hit before November’s election, nor while he’s in office.

Gee, it seems the Republicans asked for the delay last year and the president shut down the government rather than compromise with the Republicans. This will prove to be the worst legislation for our liberty, taxes and the economy of this country.

Cheap VotesDear Editor,

Spring is just around the corner in the United States of Amnesia.

After the daffodils arrive, get ready for record numbers of illegal aliens to arrive in our communities.

It’s not that there’s more work available, there is less work to be had.

New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveal the lowest rate of labor participation in 35 years.

So what’s encouraging illegal immigrants to come here in record numbers? Amnesty!

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) wants cheap labor, and President Obama

wants cheap votes.By pushing another mass Amnesty,

they’re ignoring record unemployment, a fragile economy, and the will of the American people.

The Washington elites promoting another Amnesty are counting on citizens like you to have a bad memory.

The elites know that Amnesty is not new. They also know that every prior attempt to “solve” the problem of illegal immigration with Amnesty has failed miserably.

Washington elites understand that you -- and the vast majority of American

citizens -- do not support Amnesty.The on ly th ing that works i s

enforcement.But, enforcing immigration laws --

and actually punishing unscrupulous employers -- makes politicians and the Washington elite cringe.

They want you to believe the mantra that “the system is broken,” when in fact, we’ve not seen serious enforcement since the mid 1990’s.

Henry Kissinger recently wrote that “The test of policy is how it ends, not how it begins.”

Amnesty can only end badly.It is a dagger pointed at the heart of

America’s embattled Middle Class.If we allow yet another Amnesty to be

shoved down our throats by the elites, life as we know it will never be the same.

Time to get your green -- ‘Gansett green, that is -- on. There are big doings in the little hamlet this week, beginning with the Mr. Amagansett pageant tomorrow night and the sixth annual Am-O-Gansett parade on Saturday.

Patty Collins Sales founded the parade six years ago with Lee Satinsky “because I was told it could never happen.” The first year the procession took place on the hamlet’s Main Street sidewalk. Each year since, the event, touted as the smallest parade in the state courtesy of its one block route, has grown in popularity and participation.

“Every year it gets better and better,” Sales said. “Sometimes we have more marchers than spectators, but that’s okay, too.”

That could happen this year, since the entire Amagansett School -- its students, staff and alumni -- was chosen grand marshal. This year a kid-friendly after party will be held on the grounds of Miss Amelia’s Cottage at the western end of Main Street. There will be games for the kiddies, lots to eat, prizes for the best two and four-legged costumes, and a 50/50 cash raffle. (Raffle tickets are available at the Computer Store on Main Street.) The parade steps off promptly at 12:02 PM.

This week Sales recalled talking about the idea of a St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Amagansett with Don Sharkey. “We talked for years about how funny it could be,” she related. A video of the first parade, lensed by Kevin Gray and posted on the chamber’s Facebook page, features shots of Sharkey, who died in 2009.

To honor his memory, friends created the Donald T. Sharkey Memorial Community Fund. It sponsors its main fundraiser, the

Independent / Cheryl Bloecker

the whole amagansett School will serve as grand marshal for the annual am-o-gansett parade this Saturday. pictured accepting the honor are (from left) School Superintendent eleanor tritt, School Board president Victoria Handy, parade organizer and creative genius, plus amagansett Chamber of Commerce co-founder patty Sales and chamber director Joi Jackson perle.

The Wearing O’ The (‘Gansett) Green

Mr. Amagansett Pageant tomorrow night at the Stephen Talkhouse.

In its f i fth year, the Mr. Amagansett Pageant has served as a jumping off point for not one single performer’s stage career. By the same token, it has proved to be no help at all to participants’ day jobs, either.

This week pageant organizer Tina Piette revealed an anonymous donor has pledged $1000 to see an “All Poll Band.” Should they step up to the plate, the band will be comprised of former town supervisor Bill Wilkinson singing lead vocals, Legislator Jay Schneiderman on the drums, Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc on guitar, former councilman Job Potter on harmonica and former councilman Dominick Stanzione on the tambourine. The donor wants to see them lip sync Adele’s platinum hit “Rolling In the Deep (We Could Have Had It All).” Piette said Wilky

may not be in town for the event. She wondered if East Hampton’s current supervisor, Larry Cantwell, might give it a go for the cause. He is an Amagansett native, after all.

Beyond the electeds’ effort, the competition promises an array of acts from gentlemen eager to share their talents with an adoring, or heckling, audience. Piette will accept participants – for the proper price – right up until the last minute. “We always look for men with skills, talent, or hey . . . good looks will do.”

The winner will receive his crown and robe from reigning Mr. Amagansett 2013 Matt Schmidt. Although he kept his scepter, “the golden clam rake,” under guard, sadly, it was stolen. So it will be just a robe and crown for tomorrow night’s lucky winner.

Doors open at 6:30 PM. Admission is $20.

Last week at the Suffolk County Legislature’s General Meeting, Deputy Presiding Officer Jay Schneiderman (I-Montauk) presented Eagle Scout Dana Harvey with a proclamation for his hard work and dedication towards the restoration of the St. David African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion

Eagle Scout HonoredChurch.

As a member of Troop 455, Harvey earned approval from the Sag Harbor Village Historic Preservation and Architectural Review Board (ARB) for a building permit, which allowed him to restore the cupola bell tower as his Eagle Scout project. Harvey completed the project by raising over $6000.

The church was founded in 1840, and is believed to be a stop along the Underground Railroad. The rank of Eagle Scout is the Boy Scouts of America’s highest honor and is achieved by fewer than three percent of Boy Scouts nationwide.

Harvey is currently a freshman at Davidson College in North Carolina, where he is majoring in Physics. The bell at the tower is now ringing again after 25 years of silence, welcoming both church and community.

frequently. “It’s a three bedroom house. Syd sleeps upstairs. There is also a covered porch along with the two bedrooms downstairs. There are two bathrooms in the house and one kitchen.”

Griffin, for his part, acknowledged he had violations in 2011 he promised to correct – according to town records he pleaded guilty to four of 28 charges and agreed to correct certain violations. He didn’t, he acknowledged. “Look, I’m an old man. I get confused.”

“The house was in severe risk of danger due to a fire,” read the press release trumpeting the arrest. Not so, said Griffin. There were several space heaters on at the time of the bust, he said, but that’s because he had run out of heating gas a couple of days earlier. It was delivered, ironically, later that day, a fact confirmed by the Town’s Chief Building Inspector, Tom Preiato. “His nephew was there bringing him soup, and he paid for the gas.”

The larger issue is why the town chose to make a public spectacle at Griffin’s expense rather than help him – given his mental condition, he

is clearly incapable of answering any of the charges in court.

Diane Patrizio, the head of the town’s Human Services department, said, “because of confidentiality I can’t comment about it.” She said her department did not participate in the raid.

Sources said the town became aware of Griffin’s condition while he was a regular at the senior citizen center and that the county assigned a case worker to help Griffin.

Preiato said officers from the town’s Code Enforcement department showed up while he was there but that he didn’t call them in.

Michael Sendlenski, a town attorney, said the raid came after “a complaint” but he was not sure who made it. Griffin, and his friend and family members, suspect it was a tenant Griffin became disgruntled with. The man refused to vacate the house even though Griffin repeatedly asked him to, sources said.

Sendlenski said he “wasn’t sure” who is in the house now. “We don’t have access to the inside.”

T h e r e s u l t i n g p u b l i c embarrassment took its toll on Griffin: he said he slit his wrists and was taken first to Stony Brook and

then Eastern Long Island Hospital. Since then, he was been confined to a psychiatric ward there.

“The charges are mostly false,” said Griffin. He found it particularly irksome that the town implied he had illegal firearms at his premises.

“I have an old 22 filled with birdshot and a BB rifle.” Sendlenski said there were at least two children living in the house and that the guns weren’t stored in a secure place. Griffin said the guns were turned over to police, who didn’t even know they were there until his nephew volunteered the information.

Betsy Bambrick, the head of the town’s Director of Code Enforcement said she did not know Griffin tried to commit suicide. “I really can’t comment. There are charges

pending,” she said.Griffin hopes to be released

shortly. He has no idea who or what he will find in his house. He has no money for food, heat, or electric.

“This is a guy with four stars on his lapel,” his friend said. “I found the tone of the press release alleging he is a ‘gouging landlord’ disgusting and repulsive.” She acknowledged the house is in disarray. “He’ll have to go back to that squalor. Where is he going to get money? He has zero. He leaves cash around and it disappears. They are treating him like a criminal instead of a man with a mental condition. He needs help.”

“It’s a housing issue to us,” Sendlenski said. “Code enforcement went in with the permission of an occupant.”

By Rick MurphyThe clock finally struck 12 for

three local basketball teams that made runs in the state tournament.

Playing in a New York Class B State regional final game, the South-ampton Mariners ran into a talented and determined Woodlands team Friday at Beacon High School and succumbed, 73-47.

Though disappointed at being eliminated just one game shy of the State Final Four tournament, in the long run the boys team will likely remember a magical season that culminated March 4 when the locals took the Long Island Class B Championship by knocking off Wheatley, 61-58.

The game, nip and tuck through-out featured a shootout between the Mariners’ Taylor Sanders and Wheat-ley’s Kevin Martins, who dropped home nine three-pointers in route to a game high 29 points. Sanders hit seven of 10 from downtown but had the last laugh, nailing two free throws with seconds remaining to put the game on ice after Martins nailed a three to make it 59-56. Sand-ers finished with 24 points. South-ampton finished with a 17-6 record.

On Friday it was another matter entirely. Woodlands, quick and ath-letic, jumped off to an early lead and forced the locals to play catch-up. The Mariners had no answer for Brandon Johnson, who tallied a game high 25 points. Shaundell Fishburne, an All-Long Island candidate for South-ampton and a four-year starter, led the losers with 19 points.

Locals Eliminated From State TournamentWoodlands also had a representa-

tive in the girls’ Class B tournament, and the Lady Falcons knocked out Hampton Bays, the Long Island Class B champions, in a Regional Final game 57-42. Hot shooting Alex Fotopoulos tried to keep the locals in the game, notching 22 points, but Woodlands proved too deep and tal-ented for the Baywomen, particularly Imani Tilford, who led Woodlands on

an 8-0 second half run that provided the breathing room. The All-State senior led all scorers with 25 points and went over 2000 for her career during the game.

Hampton Bays beat Oyster Bay 61-56 on March 4 for the LI Class B championship. Fotopoulos popped for 22 in that one, leading all scorers.

The historic ride of the Shelter Island boys’ team finally ended

Saturday when Coleman Catholic, a traditional Class D powerhouse, 73-46, eliminated the locals. The States-man simply overwhelmed the locals, quickly opening a double-digit lead and coasting to a 20-point halftime edge. Nathan Munday led the losers with 10 points.

The Indians (12-11 for the season) knocked off Clarke on March 4 to advance to the regional finals.

By Kitty MerrillThe East Hampton Town Board

has authorized more than $1 million in bonding for a variety of capital expenses so far this year. Projects and purchases run the gamut from $250,000 in improvements to the parking lot and restrooms at Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett to the $10,000 purchase of a jet ski for lifeguards.

Last month members voted to advance certain funds before the bonding because, according to town budget officer Len Bernard, work and/or purchases need to commence before bond sales will be held.

Many of the projects are hold overs from the last administration’s adopted capital program, though some, such as improvements at Indian Wells, and repairs including a new roof at Fort Pond House in Montauk ($75,000) are new. Debt service for the new programs will be

Bond Now, Pay Laterreflected in the town’s 2015 budget, Bernard explained.

The cost of two projects was revised from earlier approvals. Last April the town board voted to spend $30,000 to acquire and install new plates at the youth skate park. The cost, and the bond approval, was revised upward by $50,000 last week. The original cost of the project and the number of plates required was underestimated, Bernard explained. The same thing happened with a bond approval for a new Boom Mower for the town highway department. The first authorization listed $60,000 as the cost for the big rig, where $90,000 is more accurate.

In other news, the town board made quick work of its agenda last Thursday night. Co-town historian Stuart Vorpahl said he was “heartsick” to learn about problems with mold damaging

town records. (Visit our website www.indyeastend.com to see previous coverage of the problem in our February 26 edition.)

Supervisor Larry Cantwell had good news to report. The town will hire an archivist with expertise in restoration to identify, catalogue, inventory and restore records. “The record management system in the town is not good,” Cantwell opined. He said he is committed to getting a handle on how best to restore what’s been damaged, preserve all the historic records, and digitize active records. Board members voted to put $75,000 towards the multi-year effort.

Speaking of mold problems, Lally Mockler, a resident of Windmill Village II, offered input on the mold problem at her housing complex. (It, too, was the subject of reportage in The Independent last month.)

According to Mockler, Tom Ruhle, the town’s director of housing has refused to meet with the tenants’ representatives to discuss the situation. Ruhle sent out letters seeking volunteers to speak about mold that plagues the complex. Instead, elected tenants’ reps stepped up to speak, but, said Mockler, Ruhle wouldn’t meet with them. “I find that offensive,” she said. Cantwell promised to get to the bottom of her complaint.

Also last week, the board voted to commence new enforcement action against Cyril’s Restaurant on Napeague Stretch. Community member David Buda wondered about the status of earlier court action that included a number of zoning code violations against the popular eatery. Town attorney Elizabeth Vail noted details of ongoing litigation are privileged.

here,” she said from her office on the second floor. “I’m really blessed. I love my job and I love coming to work.”

There’s been a steep learning curve the newly-minted councilwoman admitted, especially as it pertains to the town airport. “That in itself is a full time job.”

But Burke-Gonzalez jumped in feet first, and can already claim a major accomplishment. She convened a committee comprised of members of opposing factions who have been warring for years. “It was incredibly civil, respectful and productive,” she reported. ”We have people working together who have always been on competing sides of the issue . . . I knew it could be done.”

Asked how she was given the challenge, Burke-Gonzalez said, “I volunteered for it. Right after Election Day, we all sat down with a list of departments and my hand was the only one that went up for the airport.”

“It is an asset we need to invest in,” the councilwoman said. Thanks to recent developments, the airport is also an asset that could derive new revenue. Last Thursday night, the board agreed to accept a proposal for advertising concession services that could mean revenue more than four times what has been collected in the past. Last year’s budget called for $12,000 in revenue from the concession; Burke-Gonzalez found a company that bid $50,000 for the concession. That town could even garner more money after the set rate is collected.

While the town can view the airport as an asset, at the same time, officials must acknowledge the quality of life impacts from noise generated at the facility. Her committee will be studying noise data and abatement strategies. So far, she said “We’ve gotten tremendous positive feedback for our approach.”

In addition to airport matters, Burke-Gonzalez is working to resurrect the town’s senior advisory committee. She hopes to revise code provisions regarding noise and is working with Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc on taxi regulations. “We want those in play before the season starts,” she said.

When it comes to code enforcement and prosecution, Burke-Gonzalez praised, “I’m really impressed with our town attorney’s office. They’re a smart group of folks and people are going to realize we mean business and we’re going to deliver.”

Overall, Burke-Gonzalez is excited about the future and the administration’s potential. “We’re going to make a difference . . . it’s intoxicating.”
