Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth on the fourth hole during a practice round at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.

Independent/USGA/Chris Keane

Overflow Crowds As Tiger Takes The Stage By Rick Murphy

Ask the casual fan who the top golfers in the world are and they might answer Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and maybe add in Sergio Garcia or even Ernie Els and Paddy Harrington from the European circuit.

That was true — in 2004, the last time Shinnecock Hills Golf Club hosted the U.S. Open. Woods, only 29 at the time, had already stamped himself as the heir apparent to Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golfer of all time.

First, a very public scandal cost him his marriage; a car accident knocked him out of commission; a series of ailments, most notably back injuries that required numerous surgeries, rendered Woods an afterthought on the PGA tour. On the few occasions he even attempted to play, he was terrible.

In May 2017, he suffered the ultimate indignity, an arrest for public intoxication after he was found at the wheel of his car at 3 AM stoned on medication he used to help recover from surgery. Experts and pundits said Woods’ s career was over, that he could not compete with the young Turks who took over the sport after being

inspired by Woods when they were just kids.

They’ll be here this week: Justin ( JT) Thomas, who is only 25 and is already been the top-rated player in the world. He won the PGA tournament; he won the FedEx title last year and the $10 million that goes with it. His good friend, Jordan Spieth, won’t turn 25 until July 27; he’s got three Majors under his belt already. Rory McIlroy, 28, from Northern Island, is considered in many quarters to be the best golfer in the world; he already won four Majors. But the favorite coming into Shinnecock, and the current top-ranked player, is Dustin (DJ) Johnson, 32, who just won the St. Jude Classic, his 18th tour victory. But never, ever count Tiger out. Somehow, after all the mishaps, he clawed back and stunned the

golf world by finishing second in the Valspar Championship earlier this year, and did so looking like the Tiger of old, ripping scorching drives and long irons and displaying a deft (though still inconsistent) putting stroke. He is hungry to take on the Turks in search of Major #15. And then there is Phil Mickelson. He’s won five majors, but never the Open. He turns 48 on — you guessed it — what’s known as Moving Day, the third round of the tournament when contenders make their move up the leaderboard. The years have been kind to Phil: he is currently the 20th ranked player on the planet. Any of these players could win; in fact, there is so much parity on the tour right now that anyone in the field could surprise. Other notables who could be in the

The Golden Bear won 18 Majors during his illustrious career that spanned four decades. When Woods won his 14th 10 years ago (the U.S. Open), it seemed only a matter of time before he vaulted past Nicklaus to immortality. But Woods found it increasingly difficult to grab another victory in a major tournament (British Open,

Professional Golfers’ Association, the Masters) over the next few years, and then endured a fall from power almost unprecedented in the annals of sport.

Traffic/Safety Plans In Effect For U.S. Open By Peggy Spellman Hoey

There was a National Basketball Association championship on Friday, then a Triple Crown winner in thoroughbred horse racing on Saturday, and there could be the second leg of a Grand Slam in golf next week at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton. This week, local officials are optimistic their transportation plan will also be a success, enabling traffic to flow unencumbered through the town.

June 13, 2018

Measures to alleviate traffic congestion include a pedestrian footbridge over County Road 39, rerouted traffic, and increased Long Island Rail Road train service. There will also be two parking areas with shuttle buses to the event — one at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach to service visitors traveling from up-island, the other at the Hamptons Classic grounds in Bridgehampton to service travelers from out east.

The shuttles, which will be provided by Suffolk County, will take about 25 minutes to take passengers to and from the event. Officials have also made available an option to be dropped off and picked up from the tournament at the Montauk Highway entrance of Stony Brook

Southampton College, but there will be no parking or staging at that location. With an estimated 80 million people watching the event from 150 countries all over the world, County Executive Steve Bellone said “all eyes will be on Suffolk.”

“We have been working with all of our partners to make sure that we are ready, and on the eve of the U.S. Open championship, I can say with certainty that we are ready. We are excited, and we are looking forward to an incredible event this week,” said Bellone during a press conference at the golf club’s media center on Sunday morning. Bellone explained safety is also a concern for the event, noting local law enforcement including the Suffolk County police and sheriffs’ departments, New York State, Metropolitan Transit Authority, State University of New York-Stony Brook, and Southampton Village police have been working over the past year with Southampton Town police, on safety measures to address all “plausible scenarios.” Suffolk Emergency Medical Services, Department of Health Services, Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Services, and the

Department of Public Works will also be on hand at the event in case they are needed to assist. To help move traffic along through the town during the Open, the speed limit will be reduced to 30 MPH along County Road 31, Old Riverhead Road, in Westhampton from Montauk to Sunrise Highways from 6 AM to 10 PM until June 19. Montauk Highway from Knoll and Tuckahoe roads in Shinnecock Hills will also be reduced to 35 MPH through June 19.

County and town officials have also enacted a number of road closures and roadway restrictions. To allow the United States Golf Association to set up shop at the golf course, officials closed off Tuckahoe Road from County Road 39 to Sebonac Road May 29, then closed it off entirely to Montauk Highway on June 7, both measures that caused some snarls around Shinnecock Hills and Southampton. The road will be partially open from CR 39 to Montauk Highway on June 19, followed by the remainder on June 22. Other restrictions for roadways near CR 39 include the closure of many shortcuts known to locals

such as St. Andrews Road from CR 39 to the entrance of the Greek Orthodox Church to pedestrians and bicycles. Pedestrians and bicycles will not be allowed on CR 39 from St. Andrews Road West to St. Andrews Road. Instead officials are asking that they access the Open from Montauk Highway at the Stony Brook Southampton campus.

Hills Station Road will be one way from CR 39 south to Longview Road from 6 AM to 10 AM. Shrubland and Greenfield roads, as well as Tuckahoe Lane, will be right-turn only between 6 and 10 AM, and St. Andrews Road West will be right turn only between 6 AM and 10 PM. Other roadways closed altogether for the duration of the event include Knollwood, Country Club, Underhill, Overlook, and Terrace drives from 6 AM to 10 PM. Long Island Rail Road president Philip Eng said the event will probably bring about 30,000 fans to the town, and there will be five to 10 extra trains running on the Montauk line during the event, terminating at the newly built temporary Shinnecock Hills station.

He said 2,000 customers a day are projected for Monday, June 11, and Tuesday, June 12, and he expects the number to grow continuously throughout the week to about 9,000 customers per day through Sunday, June 17.

“Like every other big event in the region, whether it was the Belmont Stakes we just had yesterday, a concert, or baseball game or basketball game, or hockey game, the Long Island Rail Road is simply just one of the best ways to get to and out of a venue if you want to avoid driving, which I would highly recommend,” he said. “Without mass transit, a critical component to the transportation network for this event, we might not be standing here today.”

Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said there are more than 30 agencies the town has coordinated with to make sure its plans proceed smoothly. “People worried about the traffic

He is trying to take off his pants and is hopping up and down because it’s hard to be that sexually excited and take off one’s pants with one hand. His other hand is holding his cell phone to his ear. Finally, he is approaching the bed. He’s visibly excited. He puts his knee on the bed and . . .

SHE: Wait, wait, I’m reading a text from Ashley. She and Samantha are shopping for shoes and they ran into Brittany, who looks awful. Why does that make me so happy? SHE: What’s wrong?

HE: Mets had the bases loaded with nobody out and they didn’t score.

SHE: Well, you be careful with your cell phone — last time we were in bed you scratched me with it right on my tattoo and I was afraid I would get blood poisoning.

HE: Well, if we’re talking about cell phones, last time we were in bed you hit me on the ear with your phone when you turned over in your sleep. SHE: Wait . . . wait . . . you’ve got to hold it for just one second to see this. This is the vegan kale and Brussels sprouts pizza my friend Wendy just Instagrammed to me. HE: What’s that funny look on your face? What’s wrong?

SHE: I’m trying to remember if I remembered to take my Adderall . ..

DON’T LAUGH! We’re all as addicted to our cell phones as these two would-be-lovers. Spend a minute on any street corner and watch the march of the walking dead.

Watch as they cross the street against traffic lights with their eyes glued to their cell phones. Do you know what’s going on in their nearly empty heads?

“That two-ton speeding car going 50 miles an hour coming at me can’t hurt me. Can’t they see I’m on my phone? Don’t they know I can’t stop watching this adorable YouTube video of two kittens playing with a ball of cotton yarn? Don’t they know how important I am? Let them stop for me.” The other day I saw a bike nut on Fifth Avenue weaving in and out of heavy traffic, looking down and texting on his phone.

On the sidewalk, those of us who have the good sense not to look at our phones while walking are dodging to get out of the way of selfish idiots who have their heads down, looking at their phones and about to crash into anyone who is walking toward them.

This happened in less than a minute last week on Lexington Avenue between 61st and 62nd Streets: I had to dodge a beefy moron who was coming at me with his head in his cell phone, and just when I got past him I had to dance out of the way of a tattooed young woman who was screaming and cursing

at her mother on her phone. All I heard her say was, “You’re a f^%$^#. No wonder Daddy left you . . .” And then came a young mother on her phone as she was crossing the street against the light. She was pushing a baby carriage and a truck that would have crushed her baby jammed on his brakes inches away from her. The woman never noticed the sound of the brakes. Then she headed right toward me. I dodged her, but if she had hit me, she would have given me a dirty look for failing to get out of her way when she was having an important conversation with her best friend about her husband refusing to pick up his dirty underwear from wherever he dropped it on the floor. Don’t snicker.

You and I are probably as guilty and addicted to our cell phones as the rest of the population. What makes me laugh is that last week Apple and Google — who started it all and have turned us all into CELL PHONE ZOMBIES — have announced new apps to limit the unhealthy overuse of cell phones. That’s like the inventor of dynamite coming out against war. Ooops! Wait a minute . . . After inventing dynamite, which is responsible for millions of deaths, Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, had the chutzpah to become the “Benefactor of the Nobel Prize for Peace.” Prediction: In the future, the cell phone will kill more people than dynamite.

118th U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP – FACT SHEET Shinnecock Hills Golf Club will be set up at 7440 yards and will play to a par of 35-35–70. The yardage for each round of the championship will vary due to course setup and conditions. ARCHITECTS Willie Davis completed the first 12 holes in 1891 and head professional Willie Dunn contributed six holes by 1894. The path of the railroad line forced the club to acquire land north of the clubhouse, where, from 1916 to 17, Charles Blair Macdonald fashioned six new holes for play. William Flynn then constructed 12 new holes and largely altered Macdonald’s layout from 1929 to 1931. The clubhouse, built in 1892, underwent a major restoration in 2016 but remains substantially the same as a century ago.

hosted 15 local qualifiers, while California was second with 14. The qualifiers and PGA players who already qualified totals 156 golfers. The field will be cut after 36 holes to the low 60 scorers (and ties).

Sand In My Shoes // Denis Hamill moments before they ended their celebrated lives that still had so many valuable years in front of them.

To Be Or Not To Be To be or not to be.

Four hundred odd years after William Shakespeare wrote those immortal lines, that is still the question. The main question of human life.

In the past two weeks, two famous people, Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, who spent glorious summers on the East End and owned expensive apartments and triumphant businesses in Manhattan, took their lives at the apex of their professional success, each leaving behind a young daughter old enough to be marked by these events for the rest of her fragile life.

Kate Spade touched so many girls and women with her pretty but utilitarian handbags and other designer accessories. She hanged herself at age 55 from a doorknob in her luxury Manhattan high-rise. How cruelly ironic that Kate Spade’s final bag would be a body bag.

Anthony Bourdain was 61 with a hit CNN food/travel/celebrationof-the-human-experience show and sporting a better physique than most college athletes when he fastened a bathrobe belt around his neck to hang himself in the bathroom of an upscale hotel room in France, destined for the ultimate of parts unknown. Sadly, this will be the final course of his moveable feast for which Bourdain will be best remembered. Both just gone.

But Spade and Bourdain must have gone through their separate Hamlet 8

Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain ended their sea of troubles by choosing to die, to sleep. I feel sorry for them.

But I have greater empathy for the loved ones who must now mourn and bury them, and live without them, especially the kids, two girls, one 11, one 13, who will wrestle with the dark choices of their parents until the end of their own lives of troubled seas.

I feel this personally because there was a recent death in my family, not a celebrity, not a suicide, but a valuable and well-loved life that ended at age 44. He left behind a brokenhearted little girl of eight who happens to be my granddaughter. She has wrestled with her father’s loss through every distracted school day and every fitful night since.

I will have to step into the breach on Father’s Day so that she can give a man she loves a card and a hug. And this year, I’m sure, they will come with a thunderstorm of tears because Pop is the nice old guy who spoils her and makes her laugh on Sunday afternoons. But he will never be Daddy, who ate breakfast with her every morning and helped with homework every night and told her all was safe when The Bogeyman awakened her. She wears a locket with her father’s ashes around her neck “so that a piece of Daddy can always be close to my heart.” There will be similar slings and arrows for the daughters of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain.

But perhaps the best we can mine

Maybe these celebrity suicides will make the rest of us reach out to a troubled loved one who might be marooned on an ice floe in the nuclear winter of a family’s “tough love,” a concept which I have come to see as a way of summoning our inner Scrooge more than solving the problems of the mentally challenged Tiny Tims in our lives. On the morning after Anthony Bourdain took his life in Kaysersberg-Vignoble, France, I read an item about a man who jumped from the 16th floor of a Manhattan building on W. 57 St. and 10th Ave. His name was not even mentioned. His life, his motives, his family, his pain as anonymous as another quarter in a parking meter. Was his loss any less tragic than Bourdain’s or Spade’s?

Or the 22 military veterans, most suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, who commit suicide in this nation every single day? Few ever get an inch or a glimpse of news attention.

Or the 2000 teenagers — five every day — who commit suicide in America every year? Many of these tormented young people were driven to their Hamlet moments by vicious bullying at school or by humiliation on social media. This has to end.

The Centers for Disease Control’s National Center for Health Statistics report that in 2016 there were 44, 965 recorded suicides in the USA, up from 42, 773 in 2014. The suicide rate had increased 24 percent between 1999 and 2014, making it the nation’s 10th leading cause of death. For every suicide, 25 people attempt it. Many will try again.

Last week, as Spade and Bourdain were mourned, the CDC reported that suicides have been increasing for years in every state and demographic.

Nearly 84 percent of suicide victims are white, 77 percent men. Half of American suicides are committed

with guns. States like New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, and Maryland with the toughest gun laws have the fewest suicides. The tragedy is that Spade’s and Bourdain’s suicides seem so preventable. They seemed to have possessed everything one could want in life and yet life, for both of them, no longer became worth living. They were clearly wrestling with screaming demons between their ears that the rest of us could not see or hear. The demons finally won.

We need to hear the demons of the people we love.

When Robin Williams took his life in August 2014, I searched my bookshelves for my dog-eared college copy of the brilliant French existentialist Albert Camus’s great book The Myth of Sisyphus, in which he writes, “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or 12 categories — comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer.” Spade and Bourdain answered by tightening belts around their necks in New York and France. “To sleep, perchance to dream — ay, there’s the rub:/For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come.” Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain will never swim again at Cooper’s Beach, never dine in East Hampton, or marvel at another sunset at Montauk. Their joys and their pains have ended.

So, I reserve my empathy for their loved ones, especially their children, who like my granddaughter, must now live with the death of a parent for the rest of their young lives.

Gone.

Oh, they might not have channeled Hamlet’s fourth soliloquy before they took their lives, but certainly some less eloquent meditation on life and death than Shakespeare’s must have crossed swords in their minds in their final moments: “Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer/The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune/Or to take arms against a sea of troubles/ And by opposing end them. To die — to sleep . . .”

from their suicides is the national dialogue that has begun about this growing problem.

Local News Stony Brook Southampton College. “We are using this major event at the U.S. Open to exercise our free speech when Shinnecock people have been denied the legal right to exercise political and civil rights to obtain justice for the outstanding land claim that includes the Shinnecock Hills and many other issues not limited to grave protection, clean water, natural resources, fishing, hunting, racial injustices, and perpetuated stereotypes.”

Minerva Perez, executive director of Organizacion Latino-Americana, said she stood with the tribe and wanted to support the strength, history, and wisdom that the tribe brings to the area.

Shinnecock Protests ‘Stolen Land’ By Peggy Spellman Hoey

About a dozen members and supporters of the Shinnecock Indian Nation — part of a group called the Shinnecock Hills Defenders — on Monday used the U.S. Open’s use of the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club to bring awareness to their land claims fight. The protest was organized to highlight the tribe’s ongoing dispute over land ownership in Southampton, including

Shinnecock Hills and the golf course, which the group claims was unfairly taken from them, and the misuse of their image for the golf club’s logo. Demonstrators — some wearing t-shirts featuring a skull with a tribal headdress and the words “U.S. Open Shinnecock Stolen Hills” — carried signs with slogans such as “Stolen land, stolen name, stolen image, silenced voices never!” and “We are the voices of our ancestors,” as motorists along

Montauk Highway honked their horns in solidarity.

Attorney Kelly Dennis, an organizer of the event, said the golf club is one of the defendants named in the tribe’s land claim suit, on which the U.S. Supreme Court chose not to rule in 2016, and noted the tribe has never received compensation for the use of its image on the club’s logo.

“It’s an added insult that the golf club, local government, and other businesses led by the colonists’ families benefit from the U.S. Open and USGA when the Shinnecock Tribe is marginalized and left out of any meaningful recognition and economic development,” said Dennis in a designated “free speech” area located across the street at

283-1506 Jagger Lane • Southampton

Noyac resident Tom Oleszczuk attended the protest with his wife, Heidi Rain, noting they have been very concerned about indigenous affairs since learning of the Sioux Tribe’s fight against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock. “We support the Shinnecock tribe,” he said. United States Golf Association spokesman Craig Annis said that the organization has been in contact with Nichol Banks, an organizer of the protest and had facilitated the demonstrators’ location to exercise their right to freedom of speech.

He said it was officials’ understanding the protests are not about the U.S. Open or the USGA but rather “broader issues that they have been trying to bring awareness for quite some time.” The tribe will continue to protest the tournament through its conclusion on Sunday.

Local News around,” Prokop said. He said that would change in a hurry should the incorporation path be followed to its ultimate destination. “Right now, you don’t have equal representation,” Prokop said. “But this way, it would be two equals, two governments.”

In a perfect world, a district no bigger than five square miles and with 500 people could become a village by gathering petitions equal to 20 percent of the registered voters within the proposed geographical area. The town supervisor would be in charge of validating the signatures, Prokop said. After that, there would be a district-wide vote.

Some Wainscott citizens want to incorporate, freeing them from East Hampton Town control.

“It sounds simple, but it can be highly technical,” Prokop opined. “There are a lot of overlays.”

It Only Takes A Village By Rick Murphy

They’re mad as hell and they’re not going to take it anymore. A group of civic leaders in the hamlet of Wainscott are actively exploring incorporation — in essence seceding from East Hampton Town.

Residents are upset over a number of events that they say are indicative of town policies that invariably are disruptive to them and hurt their property values. In addition to the ongoing presence of the East Hampton Airport and the noise complaints that come with it, last year the Suffolk County Water Authority announced that tests revealed some of the hamlet’s drinking wells are contaminated.

The Independent has also learned LIPA intends to build a new 12

That was the final straw for some residents who have formally decided to explore pulling the hamlet out of East Hampton Town and setting up a village. The feeling persists that, historically, town government has never cared about its smallest hamlet.

“They’ve always used Wainscott as a dumping ground,” said Si Kinsella, who has emerged as a leader of the incorporation movement. “We’re fed up with it. [Incorporating] will give us an element of control and independence.” Kinsella already had a sit-down with Donald Louchheim, the mayor of Sagaponack Village. East Hampton Village Mayor Paul Rickenbach has yet to meet with anyone from Wainscott but expects to do so if the incorporation movement gets wings. “All things considered, with all the stuff going on there, it would make sense. They have a clear right of determination,” Rickenbach said. Should Wainscott be successful, it would be contiguous with East

Hampton Village and Sagaponack, setting up the possibility of shared services such as police and fire protection. The Town of East Hampton would be in the crosshairs should Wainscott incorporate. Residents are on the hook for the cost of filtration systems for their water wells and the cost of piping in public water in the future. Though the town has agreed to front the costs, it intends to recoup by creating a special tax district. Even if the class action suit filed by Wainscott residents is a success, the town could merely raise taxes to pay for the cost of absorbing the improvements. Not so if the incorporation effort succeeds, said Joseph Prokop of Central Islip, an incorporation specialist who successfully guided West Hampton Dunes, Mastic Beach, and others through the process.

“I’m familiar with Wainscott. I lived there when I worked for [East Hampton] town. You look at one side of Town Line Road, and there is so much wealth. But Wainscott has always been kicked

Wainscott is not the only East End hamlet mulling incorporation.

An East Quogue Village Exploratory Committee has formed and already held one public hearing on May 21. Former Southampton Town Supervisor Patrick “Skip” Heaney is a member. The EQVEC has retained the services of Bee Ready et al LLC to aid this committee with navigating the process to achieve village status. The firm specializes in municipal law, including election law like a potential village incorporation vote.

Organizers are making no bones about it: the recent decision by the Southampton Town Board to turn down Discovery Land’s request to build Southampton Hills, a luxury housing community centered around a golf club in East Quogue, is the main impetus. Though voters town-wide were against the project, East Quogue residents supported it. rmurphy@indyeastend.com

A funeral service for Ben and Bonnie Krupinski was held on Friday at the First Presbyterian Church of East Hampton.

The Search Continues For Fourth Crash Victim By T. E. McMorrow

East Hampton Town police announced Friday, June 8, that they had recovered the third of four bodies from the wreckage of the Piper PA31 Navajo that crashed off of Amagansett during a brief but powerful squall the afternoon of June 2. All four occupants of the plane were presumed to have died in the crash.

Thus far, the bodies of Bernard “Ben” Krupinski, 70, and his wife, Bonnie Krupinski, 70, both of East Hampton, have been recovered and identified by the Suffolk County

Medical Examiner’s office. Their funeral was held Friday.

The two remaining victims of the crash were the Krupinski’s grandson, William Maerov, 22, of East Hampton, and the pilot of the plane, Jon Dollard, 47, of Hampton Bays.

While a third body was recovered last week, police had not, as of June 11, released the name of that victim, as they await the determination of the medical examiner’s office. Police were still searching for the fourth body as of Monday.

According to a release sent out by East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo Friday, the crash occurred “approximately one mile off Atlantic Avenue Beach.” He said, “The plane lies in approximately 40 to 45 feet of water.” As of Friday, he said visibility at that depth was approximately three to five feet.

East Hampton Town police divers, along with Sea Tow, a private salvage and towing company, have apparently recovered some of the wreckage, but still haven’t located

the fourth body.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash.

Friends Remember Pilot’s Love of Flying By Peggy Spellman Hoey

Friends remembered Jon Kenneth Dollard this week for being an all-around good guy who loved to fly and loved his home in the Hamptons.

June 13, 2018

The 47-year-old Hampton Bays resident was a commercial pilot since 2012, having worked his way up the ladder in the aviation industry, earning his wings and achieving various certifications while waiting tables and bartending in local restaurants.

A graduate of Shoreham Wading River High School, Dollard died June 2 when the plane he was piloting for Ben and Bonnie Krupinski went down, killing four people during a squall off the coast of Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett. His is one of two sets of remains authorities have either not identified or recovered. A third set of remains were recovered along with debris from the plane on Friday, June 8. As of this paper’s deadline, the victim’s identify has not been released. “I think people were drawn to him, which makes it even harder

when you are missing someone under these circumstances,” said Christopher OKunewicz of Southampton. A long-time friend of Dollard, OKunewicz recalled him as a storyteller who would regale listeners with his tales from the cockpit while pouring drinks behind the bar at World Pie in Bridgehampton. “He had great stories to tell,” OKunewicz said, who last saw Dollard about three weeks ago.

OKunewicz got to know Dollard better over the last 10 years through his brother, Rob, also a pilot, who flew a similar style of plane, a Bonanza, and would often “check off ” or complete a safety check for him at East Hampton Airport. Since then, OKunewicz saw Dollard “out and about around town” for 20 years, often taking note of how much he loved his job working for the Krupinskis. “He loved flying and he loved aviation,” he said.

Dollard was well known in the pilot community, whether recreational or commercial, and many pilots gathered together at the airport in

Over the weekend, on Saturday, one week from the day the Piper Navajo PA-31 Dollard was flying went down, a group of pilots performed a missing man formation over Indian Wells Beach, OKunewicz said. “A lot of people are going to miss him, that’s for sure,” added OKunewicz.

Fellow pilot Brian Ljungvist of Ridge first met Dollard about 15 years ago when he was in high school and learning to fly in his spare time at Mid-Island Air Service at Brookhaven Calabro Airport in Shirley. Dollard was Ljungvist’s flight instructor and never lost touch with him, later hooking the younger pilot up with assignment opportunities out on the East End that he could have potentially taken for himself.

Ljungvist remembered “there was nothing fake” about Dollard.

“Honestly, there are people in the business you meet, and a lot of people that try to smile at you but are not people who you want to keep in your life, but Jon was a nice guy,” he added.

If Jon smiled at someone, he meant it.

Dollard would often meet Ljungvist over at Oakland’s Marina in Hampton Bays, where he is a member of the Shinnecock and Marlin Tuna Club, for a drink and a chat.

Ljungvist remembered Dollard as a great lover of the Hamptons and an avid surfer. “He was such a ‘bro.’ Yeah, sad. He didn’t deserve to go like this,” he added. Dollard is survived by his parents, Ken and Jean Dollard, wife, Ana, and brothers Christopher, Todd, and Jason.

rumors Worry Wainscott Residents By Rick Murphy

The Long Island Power Authority is going to spend close to a halfbillion dollars on new East End infrastructure, including the construction of a new substation in Wainscott — but officials from the company claim they don’t know exactly where. The plans, unveiled in a LIPA report and listed under “2018 projected budget,” indicate the construction will be part of a plan to run a 138 kV high-capacity underground cable 19 miles to its canal substation in Shinnecock. It is sobering news to Wainscott civic leaders already dealing with contaminated drinking wells and

the Deepwater Wind proposal to bring a cable ashore on Beach Lane and run it through the hamlet underground. The South Fork Wind Farm, a subsidiary of Deepwater, wants to install 15 wind turbines to harness electricity off the coast of Montauk. It is also fodder for Deepwater opponents who say the project is proof that the wind energy generated off the coast of Montauk will multiply, and the Deepwater cable will be the conduit to ship the power west and out of East Hampton Town altogether. Clint Plummer, Deepwater’s vice president for development, said this is the latest of conjectures with BNB makes financing your home fast and simple – because we’re more than lenders, we’re your neighbors.

Si Kinsella of Wainscott, who lives on Main Street just down the block from Beach Lane, said the proposed Wainscott substation will be twice the size of the current Buell Lane Substation and the entire project has been kept from local residents. “The proposed Wainscott Substation is designed to receive electricity from a wind farm that is more than four-times the size of the South Fork Wind Farm,” Kinsella said. “I disagree vehemently with everything Si Kinsella said,” Plummer countered. “The [information] he is circulating is absolutely wrong.”

The new Wainscott substation is mentioned under “approved” and

“The line they are building will terminate in New York City,” said Thomas Bjurlof, an energy consultant. “It’s all a shell game concocted by Governor Andrew Cuomo.” The federal Bureau of Ocean Management is going to award two more leases for wind farms off the Montauk coast within the next two years. “That’s more power than East Hampton will ever need,” he added. “It’s a massive thing.”

“projected” capital expenditure within the LIPA 2017 budget, which reads: “Purchase land, establish new 138kV Wainscott substation and Install new 138kV UG [underground] cable from Canal [Substation].” The new 138kV cable connecting the new Wainscott Substation to the Shinnecock Canal Substation is designed to deliver electricity from a 400-megawatt wind farm. Despite the verbiage, a spokeswoman for LIPA said no construction is imminent in Wainscott.

“The budget item is an if and when issue. Our planning department has identified a need for a new substation in the Wainscott area to support local load growth sometime in the future, currently estimated to be in the 2026 timeframe. However, no property has been acquired or identified,” said Elizabeth Flagler, head of External Communication for PSEG. LIPA owns the electric transmission and distribution system serving all Long Island and a portion of New York City. Since January 2014, LIPA has contracted with PSEG Long Island to operate the grid on its behalf. Five of the nine LIPA board members are Cuomo appointees. “LIPA does not have the best

Senate Looking To Fund PFOS Cleanup By Rick Murphy

U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer announced on May 31 a move to help clean up contamination of perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid stemming from Air National Guard bases, including Francis S. Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Westhampton Beach. The 2019 National Defense Authorization Act that was just passed, out of the Senate Armed Services Committee, includes a provision to authorize the cleanup and safe disposal of PFOS and PFOA, and provide funds for that purpose. The NDAA now heads to the full Senate for a vote.

“No New Yorker should ever have to fear that their drinking water is going to make them sick. I’m very proud to announce that we are now one big step closer to finally removing PFOS and PFOA from the water supply in the Newburgh and Gabreski communities,” said Senator Gillibrand, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Personnel Subcommittee. “I was proud to fight to make sure this cleanup authority was included in the final NDAA that passed out of the committee, and I will continue using every power I have as a senator to make sure this is included in the final bill so that the necessary cleanup job gets done quickly and thoroughly. We have an obligation to ensure that our waterways are safe and clean,” Gillibrand added.

June 13, 2018

“Communities across New York deserve safe drinking water — and they should not be forced to pay for costs to clean it up when others, like the Department of Defense, pollutes it. That is why it was vital to secure this provision and help address PFOS-PFOA contamination — and the costs local entities incur in response to it — in Newburgh, near Gabreski and beyond,” said Senator Schumer. “The inclusion of this authorization for better clean up response and compensation is a key first step in bringing some relief to impacted communities. And while it is clear

that more work needs to be done to fully address the scope of this contamination, New Yorkers can rest assured that I will continue to fight tirelessly in Washington until all New Yorkers have the clean water they need, and those responsible for this unacceptable contamination foot the bill — not local and New York taxpayers,” Schumer added.

Specifically, this provision does the following:

• Provides authorization for the secretaries of the services to provide funding for the treatment of PFOA and PFOS in drinking water from wells owned and operated by a local water authority undertaken to attain the lifetime health advisory level for such acids in drinking water • Provides the National Guard Bureau access to Defense Environmental Restoration Account so that it does not have to

rely on Operation and Maintenance funds to make these types of payments

• Authorizes increased appropriations of $10 million for the Army, Navy, and Air Force and $15 million for the National Guard. PFOA and PFOS are part of a diverse group of chemicals, collectively known as perfluoroakyl substances, that are persistent in the environment and resist degradation.

Accessory Apartments On The Table

By Stephen J. Kotz

Southampton Town leaders have been talking about the need to provide more affordable housing for years. On Thursday, June 7, as the town board took its first look at legislation that would ease restrictions on affordable accessory apartments, especially in areas with higher real estate values, board members learned it could be a little more difficult than they at first thought.

“The thing we all agree on is we have a crisis,” said Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, who made increasing the number of affordable accessory apartments a priority shortly after taking office in 2016. “There is this clock ticking, and as that clock ticks, more people are leaving our community.”

A law currently on the books allows property owners who have at least three-quarters of an acre to apply for an accessory apartment through a permitting process. In the 18 years that law has been in effect,

only 352 accessory apartments have been created — and those apartments are not subject to any price controls, town Planning and Land Use Administrator Kyle Collins told the board.

Under a new proposal that was presented by Assistant Town Attorney Kara Bak and Housing and Community Development Director Diana Weir, the town would allow properties as small as 15,000 square feet to be eligible for an accessory apartment with the caveat that landlords would have to enroll them in the town’s affordable housing program and cap rents based on federal guidelines. The restrictions would only be eased in hamlets where the median home price was higher than the townwide median price. That element of the law immediately drew the objection of Councilwoman Christine Scalera, the sole Republican on the board, who questioned whether limiting affordable rentals to only those

areas with higher property values would violate federal fair housing standards.

Although Bak said the legislation was aiming to promote affordable housing in the eastern half of town, where it is needed the most, Scalera asked, “Can you do that in a constitutional way?” Scalera said she was also concerned that easing the lot-size restriction for accessory apartments could open the door to a flood of applications because, she said, it could make up to 9000 lots in town eligible. “It’s a truly significant increase in density, a downzoning,” she said.

She also questioned how the town, which she said already has problems enforcing the code, would be able to keep up with the new demand on its resources. When Scalera suggested that Hampton Bays is “already overrun” by illegal apartments, Councilman Tommy John Schiavoni accused

her of exaggerating. “Watch your rhetoric,” he said.

Although Schiavoni said he had some concerns with the impact of accessory apartments on neighbors, and suggested the town might want to create a review board to oversee the permitting practice, he said there was a clear need for more affordable housing. “Let’s not let perfect get in the way of good,” he said. The supervisor also disagreed with Scalera’s take, arguing that her figures were “grossly inflated,” although she stood by her numbers. He also disputed her contention that the law would violate fair housing standards, arguing that it is intended to target an imbalance that currently has most of the town’s affordable housing concentrated west of the Shinnecock Canal.

The proposed law could be amended, Schneiderman added, to limit the number of permits that

Village administrator Rebecca Hansen told the board there were two additional increases in spending included in the budget, approximately $95,000 earmarked to complete upgrades of village emergency dispatching services, and $170,000 to cover the cost of demolishing a small house at 8 Osborne Lane, so the property can be used for a small parking lot.

The board also received the copy of a lease it has with East Hampton Town that will allow the East Hampton Fire Department to lease a portion of the old town brush dump on Old Northwest Road at Stephen Hands Path in Northwest Woods for a substation. Hansen said details of the building and the lease would be forthcoming, but that the building would be large enough to house a fire truck and an ambulance to provide better service to residents in that area. Through an agreement with East Hampton Town, the village fire department provides service to the Northwest Woods fire district.

The shared project has been discussed for the better part of a decade. Village trustees said they wanted to see work begin on the project as soon as possible. “It’s just way overdue,” said Trustee Bruce Siska. “We’ve been talking about it for a long time,” added Trustee Barbara Borsack.

springs-fireplace road car wash Scrutinized By T. E. McMorrow

A proposal to build a car wash on Springs-Fireplace Road on the privately held one-acre sized lot between the entrance and exits to the East Hampton Recycling Center may be in hot water, judging from the reaction to it by the East Hampton Town Planning Board on June 6.

The plans call for a 5,455-squarefoot building. Cars would enter in the same direction as those entering the recycling center, then make a left turn onto the car wash property. On the site plan, on file with the town Planning Department, at least 10 cars could queue up at any one time, using three lanes that would lead up to the car wash. There would be a total of 17 parking spaces at the car wash’s exit, most of which would be dedicated to detailing the cars. The applicant, a limited liability company named 238 Springs Fireplace Road owned by Greg Darvin, has proposed running the car wash under a Suffolk County Zero Discharge Permit, meaning the water used by the operation would have to be totally selfcontained, until it is eventually replaced.

Two members of the Planning Board, Randy Parsons and chairman Job Potter, were skeptical.

June 13, 2018

Potter asked who would be parking in those 17 spaces in the lot. Darvin’s answer was that, during the off-season, when demand is low, the plant would function more as a self-service car wash, while during the summer season, it would be full service. The parking spaces would be where interiors would be vacuumed, though off-season, customers could bypass that option. When asked about his proposal to obtain a Zero Discharge Permit, Darvin said it would be hard for him to elaborate on the technicalities, because, he said, the car wash business is highly competitive, and proprietary. Companies will not agree to set up, share plans, or run a car wash until a site plan is obtained, he said. “I don’t have the financial wherewithal to do that unless I

know whether this site plan is going to be approved,” he said.

Potter responded by questioning how the board could issue a siteplan approval without knowing answers to basic questions about the proposal. Darvin answered that the approval could be based on certain contingencies. Potter told Darvin that every drop of water that is used on this site would need to be accounted for. Darvin pointed out that much of the opposition to the proposal

comes from Springs, while the car wash is in East Hampton proper.

Board member Kathleen Cunningham asked if Darvin would consider selling the property if the town board was interested in purchasing it. “Probably not,” Darvin answered, saying he had already put a considerable amount of time and money into his proposal. The site-plan application file already contains almost 30 letters in opposition to the proposal. Carl

Irace, an attorney representing Citizens to Preserve the East End, was one of the speakers against the project who spoke that night. Citizens to Preserve the East End also opposed the Golden Car Wash proposed for Wainscott, which was ultimately withdrawn from consideration after heavy opposition from the public. On Monday, Irace questioned the traffic study presented to the board. He pointed out that the

five Men Are charged with sexual abuse By T. E. McMorrow

Four men, apparently all Bridgehampton residents, and all related, were arraigned in Southampton Town Justice Court Thursday, June 7, all charged with sexual abuse of a teen.

The most serious charges the four are facing are rape and committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree, both considered violent felonies with mandatory prison time if convicted. The identity of the female victim, who is younger than 17, is being withheld due to her age and the nature of the charged crimes.

Refugio Saldivar, 31, has been charged with rape in the first degree and sexual abuse in the first degree. Bail was set at $500,000 Thursday morning during his arraignment in Southampton Town Justice Court in front of Town Justice Andrea Schiavoni. Marco Saldivar, 35, is facing two

charges of committing a criminal sex act in the first degree, as well as sexual abuse in the first degree. Bail was set at $300,000. According to his attorney, Brian DeSesa, there is an outstanding warrant from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for Marco Saldivar. Felix Saldivar, 72, is charged with one count of sexual abuse in the first degree, as is Miguel Saldivar, 38. Bail for those two is $100,000. None of the men immediately made bail and were taken to county jail in Riverside.

A fifth man with the same last name, Gregorio Saldivar, 41, pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree rape and sexual abuse at his arraignment on Friday, June 8. Saldivar, who needed an interpreter, entered the courtroom wearing blue jeans and a black dress shirt and scanned the left side of the courtroom to look for family members. Assistant District Attorney Dana Castaldo said Saldivar admitted to raping the girl, noting in his statement to investigators, that he had a “moment of weakness” and began to rub her body, placed his fingers inside her, and then raped her. Saldivar, who has a detainer

placed on him by ICE, was ordered held without bail by Justice Gary Weber. Weber also approved an order of protection to prevent Saldivar from contacting the victim. His attorney, Keith O’Halloran of Hauppauge, said he did not know where Saldivar lived and declined to comment on the case.

The arresting agency, Southampton Town Police, also declined comment on the case. Under the law, the district attorney’s office has until Tuesday, June 12, to obtain an indictment from a grand jury against the men, or they will all have to be released. All five men are scheduled to appear again in court on that date. Peggy Spellman Hoey contributed additional reporting to this story.

East Hampton Man Jailed After Assaulting Cops By Peggy Spellman Hoey

A 26-year-old East Hampton man is locked up on $47,700 bail at the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Yaphank following some fisticuffs with Southampton Town Police over the Memorial Day weekend, authorities said.

Southampton Town police responded to County Road 39 near Tuckahoe Road in Southampton at about 2 AM on May 27 after receiving calls a man had run into the roadway. When officers arrived, they found Joseph McBride, who was under the influence of a narcotic and began to fight with

officers who tried to subdue him police said. Police said it took several officers to subdue McBride.

He was charged with three counts of second-degree assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and public appearance under the influence of a narcotic. His attorney, Ed Burke Jr. of Noyac, said on May 29 that he was looking forward to negotiating with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office on the case. McBride is due to appear in court at a later date.

Police charges in East Hampton Town Justice Court May 31. Daniel Wasp, 50, had been pulled over in downtown Montauk early morning April 11 for “insufficient taillights” while driving at night. Because he had a suspended license, East Hampton Town police reported, he was placed under arrest, leading to a search of his car.

Christopher Verity, a native East Hampton Town resident, is serving a oneand-a-half-year jail sentence. He is shown leaving the courthouse in East Hampton last Thursday.

Jail Time For East Hampton Man By T. E. McMorrow

A 24-year-old lifetime resident of East Hampton Town has been sentenced to a year and a half in jail, the result of a long string of arrests, going back years, that ended with two guilty pleas to felonies in county court.

Christopher Scott Verity has been arrested, most often by East Hampton Town police, numerous times over the past few years. Earlier this year, he was arrested on a felony charge following a domestic violence case. Unable to make bail, he spent five days in jail,. Less than two weeks later, he was under arrest again on a felony charge, this time driving while intoxicated, following a threevehicle accident on SpringsFireplace Road in Springs, after which he allegedly left the scene. “I was scared. I knew what would happen. I knew I was going to jail,” he told police.

June 13, 2018

He was right. The arrest caused the probation department to issue a violation charge. Verity has been in jail since February 21. He was brought to East Hampton Town Justice Court on Thursday, June 7, from the county jail in

Riverside by deputy sheriffs. He was wearing an olive-green countyissued jump suit and was shackled at the ankles. He had nine open cases for East Hampton Town Justice Lisa Rana to unravel, working with Rudy Migliore, assistant district attorney, and Matt D’Amato, Verity’s attorney. The charges varied, stemming from traffic infractions, to charges such as reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, assault, drunken driving, a violation of probation, and criminal tampering.

Verity had previously pleaded guilty in county court to two felony drunken driving charges. He was sentenced to one year on one of the cases, and six months on the other, to run consecutively. After a 20-minute conference, the lawyers and Justice Rana had their ducks in a row. The felony drunken driving charge, at the local level, and the accompanying six charges on that docket, including leaving the scene of an accident and felony unlicensed driving were dismissed, since they had been dealt with in county court. Four separate dockets for traffic infractions were dismissed.

The misdemeanor assault charge and the felony criminal mischief charge were reduced all the way to a simple violation of harassment, to which Verity pleaded guilty. It was unlikely there would have been a conviction on those charges. The victim in that case, for whom an order of protection had been issued, was sitting next to Verity when he was arrested on the drunken driving charge two weeks after the domestic incident. Verity entered an admission of guilt to the violation of probation. He was sentenced to another four months on that charge, to run concurrently with the county time, and 15 days for the harassment violation, also to run concurrently.

Then Justice Rana spoke. “You are eventually going to get out. I hope we are not going to have a repeat performance,” she said. She told Verity that, at one point, he had appeared to have cleaned himself up. Then came another string of arrests. “This was a total meltdown,” she added. Felony Charges Dropped A Smithtown attorney was cleared of three felony drug possession

Inside a knapsack in the car, police allegedly found various illegal drugs, including more than a half gram of what tested positive as cocaine, and five milligrams of what police said was methamphetamine, along with various packaging materials and a scale. He was charged with several misdemeanors, along with three felonies, which included possession of the methamphetamine and possession of cocaine, along with possession with intent to sell. All these charges were based on the alleged weight the police recorded of the drugs involved. However, after the narcotics were sent to the Suffolk County crime lab, the district attorney’s office agreed with the application by Matthew D’Amato, Wasp’s attorney from the Legal Aid Society, to reduce the felony possession charges to the misdemeanor level and drop the intent to sell altogether. Carl Irace, a local attorney who was a prosecutor in the Bronx district attorney’s office, recently explained the process involved when the police hand off illegal drugs to the county crime lab. Police file charges based on the actual weight of the drugs the seize. When the crime lab examines the drug, they take samples, and test its purity. Because narcotics are frequently cut when they change hands by adding, say, milk powder to cocaine, allowing the buyer to keep some of the narcotic for himself, the potency of the seized drug can vary greatly. It is the total weight of the actual drug in the powder the lab is testing for. What starts off as over half a gram of cocaine, which would trigger a felony charge, could easily end up testing as under a half gram of pure cocaine, which would be a misdemeanor. Such was the case

Police Village’s judge, was on the bench in East Hampton Town Justice Court the next morning. After being held overnight, the men were brought to East Hampton to be arraigned. None of them spoke English, and the arraignments were conducted through an interpreter. Chin went before Justice Rana first. Justice Rana said that he had one prior arrest on a misdemeanor assault charge, for which “he did some jail time.” Bail was set at $250, which was eventually posted.

wrong door, now facing deportation By T. E. McMorrow

Three men looking for work knocked on the wrong door on Rysam Street and ended up under arrest June 5. Now, at least one of them may be headed for deportation.

Antonie Chin, 34, of Riverhead, Marco Saban, 36, of Southampton,

and Hector Velasquez, 24, of Riverhead, had all apparently been drinking when, at about 4 PM, they began knocking on a door, thinking it was the home of the owner of a landscaping company from whom they were seeking work. After repeatedly knocking, one of them tried the door, which was

The landscaper lived next door. The owner of the house they had just entered, Howard Krotman, came down the stairs towards them, holding the collar of his German shepherd. “What are you here for?” Krotman told police he shouted as he approached the three while holding back the dog. The three left, with Krotman shouting after them to get off his property, according to his statement. Krotman then called police with a description of the three men, who were soon stopped by an officer. Krotman identified the three who had been stopped as the same men who had entered his house, and they were placed under arrest, each charged with trespassing, a misdemeanor. None of them had money for stationhouse bail to be made. Justice Lisa Rana, Sag Harbor

The third defendant had been identified to the court as Survy or Eduardo Velasquez. However, when police ran his fingerprints, they came up with a different first name. His arraignment was deferred for 24 hours, to allow police to sort out his identity. The next morning, back in Sag Harbor, he was again brought before Justice Rana, now with a second misdemeanor charge, false personation. His attorney, Rita Bonicelli, entered a not guilty plea for Velasquez, whose lip was trembling. He appeared to be holding back tears. Bonicelli told the court Velasquez was a day laborer who had been looking for work and had knocked on the wrong door. “The complaining witness does not speak Spanish, and my client does not speak English,” she said. “I believe there is a detainer,” she added. The U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement agency had sent the police a request to hold Velasquez.

Bail was set at $500, $250 for each misdemeanor. He was taken to the county jail in Riverside. If he were to post the bail now, he would be held for an additional 48 hours, to allow ICE agents to come and pick him up. He is scheduled to be brought back to court Friday.

unlocked. They then stepped into the foyer.

Saban was the second to be arraigned. He was shaking violently enough, from what a court officer termed “The DTs,” that he could not stand. Bail was initially set at $250, but he was ultimately released so that he could be taken to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, where he was admitted to be treated for his condition.

East Hampton man charged with felony dwi By T. E. McMorrow

A Northwest Woods man is facing felony charges after being arrested for the second time for driving while intoxicated in a little more than five years. Michael Patrick McDowell, 74, was allegedly found slumped over the wheel of a 2003 Subaru on Cedar Street near Stephen Hands Path, blocking the road. East Hampton Town police said the engine was running, the transmission in drive, and McDowell’s foot was resting on the brake pedal. He drove off when an officer asked him to get out of the car, police said. The officer followed McDowell, who was driving erratically, according to the police. After McDowell turned onto Old Northwest Road, he drove off the roadway, momentarily coming to a stop, before allegedly putting the Subaru in reverse, backing up and nearly striking the police car. At that point, police said, McDowell agreed to step out of his car.

Failing sobriety tests, he was arrested and taken to headquarters. Among the sobriety tests he failed was a hand-held breath test, according to the police. Police said a field test showed McDowell to have 0.24 percent blood alcohol, three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent but that he refused to take a test back at police headquarters. Besides the felony counts, McDowell is also facing two misdemeanor charges related to possession of a controlled substance, Xanax, the police said.

In February 2013, McDowell was charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated following an accident that occurred not far from his Bull Path Close home. He ultimately admitted to a DWI charge, and his license was suspended. That guilty plea, less than five years ago, and the fact that his driving privilege has never been restored, makes the DWI charge, as well as the unlicensed driving charge he was hit with last week, both felonies. In court the next morning, he told East Hampton Town Justice Lisa Rana that he is an artist by profession. His paintings have been displayed at Ashawagh Hall, according to numerous websites.

Justice Rana told McDowell she was suspending his driving privilege twice over the suspension already in place, first, for refusing the stationhouse breath test, and second, for having a DWI conviction within the past five years. She set bail at $5,000, which McDowell posted.

A Manhattan man, Ryan Washburn, 36, was arrested by town police on a misdemeanor DWI charge Sunday night after he was pulled over in a 2017 Nissan. Police said he was tailgating the car in front of him on Pantigo Road in East Hampton and swerving across lane lines. “I had a couple of beers, one in each bar in Montauk,” he is quoted as telling the police. Because he refused the breath test at headquarters, Justice Steven Tekulsky suspended his license for a year, pending a hearing at the

thunder heAring ServiceS 450B William Floyd Parkway, Shirley, NY 11967 631 830 4296

When it came time to set bail, Justice Tekulsky asked about what looked like a prior arrest in Georgia on a similar charge. Cynthia Darrell, from the Legal Aid Society, told the court that she would not comment on any out of state matters. Washburn, an employee in the film industry, posted $500 bail. There were three other town police DWI-charged arrests this week, all at misdemeanor level, and all in Montauk.

Matthew Corey Boyd, 37, was riding a 1978 Moto Guzzi moped south on Edgemere Street when he ran a stop sign at the Plaza the night of June 4, police said. During his arraignment June 5, he told Rana that, while he has a Brooklyn address, he is currently living on a boat in the dock area of Montauk, where he works as a bartender. His breath test, according to police, produced a 0.16 reading, twice the 0.08 legal limit. He was released after posting $300 bail. Patricia DeLaCruz, 36, of College Point was found passed out behind the wheel of a westbound 2016 Toyota, which police said they

found parked on the sidewalk on Montauk Highway near Essex Street around midnight Saturday. Police said that before she had passed out, she had apparently become ill in the car. She told the arresting officer she had had four glasses of wine and had only driven two blocks before she pulled over. “I called my boyfriend and said I can’t do it,” she was quoted as saying.

At headquarters, her breath test was recorded as 0.21, well over the 0.18 mark that automatically raises the charge to the aggravated level. She was released after posting $250 bail at her arraignment.

Jose Martinez-Solis, 30, was arrested on a DWI charge on Flamingo Avenue near Industrial Road in Montauk around midnight Saturday. Police said MartinezSolis had made an illegal U-turn, leading to the traffic stop. His breath test produced a reading of 0.12, said police. MartinezSolis said during his arraignment Sunday morning that, while he has a Florida license, he is working in Montauk for the season, as he has done for many years. He was released without having to post bail. Tom.e@indyeastend.com

RH Cops Search For stabbing Suspect By Peggy Spellman Hoey

A 21-year-old man walked into Spicy’s Barbecue Restaurant on Main Street in Riverhead during lunchtime Saturday afternoon to request an ambulance after he was stabbed at a nearby location, Riverhead Town Police said.

A 911 caller told a police dispatcher a man entered the establishment reporting he was just stabbed and wanted them to call an ambulance at about 1 PM, and when officers arrived they ascertained the assault “possibly occurred” in the parking lot on Court Street, just south of Railroad Avenue, police said. The victim was treated at Spicy’s by emergency medical technicians from Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance and was then transported to Peconic Bay Medical Center with non-life-threatening

stab wounds.

Detectives concentrated their investigation in the parking lot area between Court Street and Railroad Avenue, and learned the victim was assaulted by an unknown black male armed with a knife, however the incident is not believed to be a random act of violence and that the victim and suspect may be known to each other, police said. The suspect was described as a black male with messy hair who stands six-foot two-inches tall and was wearing black and white basketball shorts. The investigation is ongoing. Police are asking any witnesses to the assault contact them by calling 631 727-4500, ext. 321. All calls will remain confidential.

dwi charge in car craSh By Peggy Spellman Hoey

A 44-year-old Hampton Bays man was arrested June 1 on driving while intoxicated charges after he crashed the car he was driving into a telephone pole in Hampton Bays, New York State Police said. Benjam Lupia got into an accident on Hildreth Place near Old North Highway shortly after 2 AM, according to police. There was a report of a car that crashed into a telephone pole and after troopers arrived on the scene, Lupia was found to be intoxicated with a blood alcohol content of 0.11 percent, troopers said. Lupia was issued an appearance ticket returnable to Southampton Court on July 11. Others charged with DWI in last week’s reports include:

A Southampton man recently arrested by Sag Harbor Village police is facing three felony narcotics possession charges, including possession with intent to sell.

Terrell Harris, 31, was backing a 2006 BMW out of a parking space in front of Page Restaurant on Main Street a little after midnight May 17. According to police, he backed across the yellow hazard markings in the middle of the road, and began heading in the opposite direction, leading to a traffic stop and a ticket. When the officer ran Harris’s license, he found there was a warrant out of Southampton Town Justice Court, or a failure to appear following an arrest on an unlicensed driving charge from last year.

With Harris now in handcuffs, police began to search the BMW. In the passenger door side pocket was a pack of what appeared to be a

The white powder in the packets tested positive for the drug, according to the police. The total weight of the contents of the packets was alleged to be about 10 grams. He was charged with two counts of possession of over a half gram and a gram, respectively, both felonies, and the most serious charge, possession with intent to sell.

He was arraigned May 18 in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court, with bail being set at $10,000. Unable to post that amount, he spent the next five days in county jail. On May 23, he was released without bail, under state law that requires a defendant being held on felony charges to be indicted by a grand jury or set free within five days. His next court date is Friday, June 15.

A Walk Down Memory Lane With Ray Hartjen with a grin.

“In 1931, there were only two homes on Old Fireplace Drive. My family’s and the other was owned by a State Trooper. One day the trooper came over with a baby raccoon that had been abandoned by its mother and asked if we would care for it. My sister had a doll that you could give bottles to so we used one of the doll’s bottles to feed the baby raccoon. He became the family pet for the summer. Rocky loved Pepsi-Cola and I remember my sister holding him like a baby and Rocky was drinking a bottle of soda,” he said.

Private Hartjen.

By Valerie Bando-Meinken

A licensed fisherman and skipper since 1947, Ray Hartjen has lived most of his life enjoying the majestic views of Gardiner’s Bay from his home on Old Fireplace Drive. His love of boating came at an early age from his father, who handled the last of the oyster boats out of Bridgeport, CT.

By the time he was seven years old, he had built his first boat from scraps that washed up onshore, and by the age of 18 he was already licensed to take parties out on fishing trips and pilot private yachts.

“The most fantastic two years of my life was during my enlistment in the army. It was 1952. I was trained as an MP [military police] and was off to a great adventure! I got to Japan, just north of Tokyo and was waiting for my orders. I bought a bicycle and was riding around the port looking at all the ships. I later saw a photo, in the Army/Navy Times that changed my life. It was a half-page, and it showed MPs standing on a boat in Yokohama. I said to myself, ‘I want to do that,’” Hartjen recalled.

“I put in my request and during roll call a few months later, I was told that General Mark Clark had requested my position. Within a month, I became the private skipper to General Mark under his four star flag. I piloted U.S. Army J-1437 as well as a U.S. Army Transportation Corp’s 90-foot boat, a 110-foot rescue boat, and a 175-foot inter-island freight ship crossing the Pacific in a 28-day tour. I had the 4 PM to 8 AM shift, and got to see every sunrise and every sunset over the Pacific. The Pacific was peaceful.” He continued, “The General

Known to neighbors, friends, and family by his childhood name, “Ding,” Hartjen explained how he got the name. “I was very young and I had a toy dachshund that I would pull along on a string. As I pulled the toy, I would repeat over and over ‘ding, ding, ding.’ So,” he acknowledged, “the name stuck. It’s based off a comic strip character from before World War II, Dinglehoofer und His Dog. That’s my adventurer name,” Hartjen said

“Once Rocky was old enough, the trooper brought him back to Montauk where he had originally found him and released him back to the wild,” he added.

Feature had his own private chefs. I ate well. And there was really no supervision. We were responsible individuals and we did our jobs. No one had to watch over us.” When his enlistment ended, Hartjen was ready to return to his education. He had previously attended St. Lawrence University in upstate New York but left in his sophomore year when he enlisted. He became the manager of the college ski team, president of the Independents, and pledged to the fraternity Phi Sigma Kappa.

Shortly after his graduation, Hartjen met his wife Andrea. Married in 1963, Hartjen has two daughters who share their father’s adventurous spirit. His daughter, Lisa, has climbed Mt. Katahdin, the highest mountain in Maine at 5267 ft. and is a media specialist at the Himalayan Institute in PA. His other daughter, Anne, is second in charge of the planning board in New Haven, CT.

Drive. You couldn’t drink the water nor could you bathe in it. It came out of the faucet looking like a brown sludge. It was terrible,” Hartjen said. “So, I did something about it.”

With his roots firmly set in boating, it was more than apropos for Hartjen to become part of the East End Classic Boat Society. At 87, Ray is its current president. He was initially instrumental in locating and building a permanent site for their boat shop. The Community Boat Shop is located behind the

Marine Museum in Amagansett and builds ships promoting the preservation of traditional shipwright craftsmanship and classic marine design.

“We are currently building a new building, and I have been working with the Town Planning Board to obtain approval for the project,” he said. He hopes to have the new building completed soon. For more information about the East End Classic Boat Society, visit its website at www.eecbs.org.

Ray’s first summer in East Hampton with his mother, Dora.

Inventor of the first teaching machine, Hartjen developed an “immediate reinforcement machine” to aid in the studies of human and animal behavior being conducted by psychologist B.F. Skinner. Hartjen gained notoriety in the field of psychology for his invention which, he states, he “modeled after an old mimeograph machine.”

June 13, 2018

Hartjen obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh in educational research metrologies. He has spent the majority of his career in education and is a strong proponent of alternative education. His book, Empowering the Child, is a testament to his commitment to improving the educational system. Although Hartjen retired in 1996, his activism has never wavered. He became involved with the Trails Preservation Society, obtaining the funding to place map kiosks at several trail locations including the one on Route 114. He was also instrumental in the replacement of the Pussy’s Pond Bridge. “We harvested over 350 black locust trees and raised $19,720 to rebuild the bridge. The weakest part of that bridge is the bolts that hold it together,” he said proudly.

Bridgehampton Continued From Page 19.

Dr. Lois Morrow Horgan, who spearheaded the effort to get an addition approved by district voters in 2016 before retiring last winter, noted that the school’s population has increased significantly in recent years.

She said the school’s staff was largely responsible for that uptick in enrollment. “It is that commitment, dedication, and professionalism that led to an increase in a small, but mighty, school community by more

than a third, which finally provided the momentum that was needed to encourage the Bridgehampton community to join us in ensuring a new addition to this very special building.”

Enrollment at Bridgehampton, which educates children in prekindergarten through 12th grade, remains low, at 205 students. But that figure has grown from about 150 just a few years ago and is expected to continue to increase now that Mercy High School in Riverhead and the Ross School lower campus in

Bridgehampton are closing. Hauser said Bridgehampton is also seeing interest from students who attend other private schools on the East End. In the early 1980s, enrollment at Bridgehampton dwindled. A 1985 vote to close the school failed, but the damage was done, and the school’s reputation sank with its enrollment, although those who remained committed to it would gladly sing its praises to anyone who would listen. “As with most who entered the halls of Bridgehampton, I fell in

love almost immediately with the dedicated staff and the amazing students,” Morrow Horgan said.

“We have all heard some sort of spiel the last 30 years — do we want to keep this school open or not?” said school board president Ron White. “We have spoken. The community has spoken. We said, ‘We want to keep it open; we want to keep it alive.’”

That will require hard work on the part of students and their families, he told the audience, encouraging students to continue to raise the bar and their parents to get involved in school activities. Two students, Constantine Reilly, a fourth grader, and Aziza El, a high school junior, spoke for the student body. Reilly described Bridgehampton as “the best school in America” and said he looked forward to the opportunities the expanded building would provide.

“It will literally change our lives forever and give both the students and the entire school community the opportunity to show off all the great work that is accomplished here,” said El.

The school’s marimba band and choruses also entertained the crowd during the event.

Editorial Cause For Celebration

Insight

Members of the Bridgehampton School community gathered on Friday, June 8, to celebrate what would have been unthinkable 30 years ago — or even a decade ago — a groundbreaking for a new addition. The nearly $25 million expansion plan was approved by taxpayers in 2016 and will double the size of the main building when it is completed in 18 months. It’s hard to believe now, but in the mid-1980s, support for the school was hard to come by. A 25-year effort by those who supported the school was almost derailed a decade ago when two new members of the school board, who had no previous involvement with the district, reopened old wounds by launching a new effort to have the high school closed. It wasn’t until a six-way race for three open seats on the school board ended with the three candidates who wanted to close the school losing badly that Bridgehampton again began to pick up steam.

Under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Lois Morrow Horgan, who has since retired, and a school board that was willing to try new things, the Bridgehampton School is seeing its star rise.

Although its enrollment is still tiny when compared to other districts on Long Island that provide education from prekindergarten through high school, Bridgehampton’s physical plant is woefully inadequate. Classrooms are divided in two; the library is tiny. The gymnasium is undersized and the locker rooms outdated. There is next to no space for music and the arts, and a tiny stage, crowded with exercise equipment, at one end of the gym is pressed into service for plays and other performances. Furthermore, many students and some staff members are housed in aging temporary buildings that have long outlived their usefulness and pose very real security concerns.

The expansion plan will give Bridgehampton an important element of what is needed to educate its students, and it’s possible the new facilities will lure some families to return to the school. More important, a thriving school helps build community. And that’s something Bridgehampton could certainly use.

Mike Kolonkowski I love karaoke. I have a whole catalog of hits. For me, number one, is “All for You,” by Sister Hazel. I love the great energy, the great people. There are always great vibes. I go every few weeks.

Dear Rick,

Once again, I was treated to an opinion of a person with little or no knowledge of what they speak (or write)! In this case, the tragedy of the plane crash in East Hampton!

We have flown numerous times up and down the East Coast to our home on an airpark in Florida with never one single incident of any danger or problems in my 51 years of flying my own planes. Hundreds and hundreds of wonderful flying hours without any difficulty whatsoever. Yet we are treated to the very intellectual observation of someone who states, “I flew in a small plane once from Antigua to Montserrat: Never again for me!” Wow, what an admission — it’s like stating “I’m ignorant and I’m proud of it!” One flight and he is an authority on the subject. Sad? You bet your life it is! But so are the daily driving fatalities we are seeing every day on the news. People who weave in and out and do 20 or 30 MPH over the speed limit are the people who deserve the attention focused on them!

My wife and I have some fabulous memories of our trips in our own planes, always with the thought

of extreme safety in our minds. I drive the same way! Always in the right lane, and only in the left lane to safely pass someone. (That’s the law). I always drive the speed limit, not 10 MPH over it!

The people who treat us to their limited mentality on these subjects need to step back and reconsider the subjects they reflect on. You are not an authority, Mr. Hamill, and this story is but another glaring example of how ignorant you are, especially on the subject of aviation! However once again, when it comes to East Hampton Airport, people leap out of the shadows to attack! I did not know Mr. or Mrs. Krupinski or the other victims but whatever happened (and we may never know the circumstances), it had to be quick. There was no transmission whatever in the area of the airport, not even a mayday.

Tactical Decision Dear Rick,

Wonderful to read that Zach Cohen has (belatedly) joined the

ranks of us Deepwater Wind skeptics (Rick Murphy: “Zach Attack: Deepwater a No Go — 6/5/18). Cohen is especially good at tilting at windmills, so I’m sure he will be an asset to our movement. I do worry about his memory and his arithmetic, though, as he can’t seem to resist spinning the flawed and self-aggrandizing yarn that he would have been elected supervisor but for only a small handful of votes. The truth is that former Supervisor Bill Wilkinson would likely have received between 75 and 300 more votes than Cohen did, not “a handful” as Cohen would have folks believe. Several weeks after the 2011 general election, after all the Democratic Party objections to Republican ballots had been ruled upon, but before the final tranche of nearly 200 Republican objections had been, Supervisor Wilkinson emerged the obvious victor. Rather than insisting on finishing the legal process, which math and common sense would tell you could only have increased his

Israeli superstar David Broza will play at Guild Hall on July 7, as part of the Guitar Masters series. Independent/Allan Tannenbaum

Broza Comes To Guild Hall By Bridget LeRoy

“I started my career at 22, and very quickly had my first number-one record.” David Broza

And why not? He had already successfully broken into the art world and had penned and performed international hits “Yihye Tov (Things Will Get Better)” and “Haisha She’iti (The Woman by My Side),” written with poet Yonatan Geffen. The last 35 years could have been spent in relative comfort, enjoying a fame that gently ebbed over the years. But Broza — who has been compared in other publications to Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Bob Dylan (always preceded by the words “the Israeli”) — clearly enjoys pushing himself, whether it’s embarking on a quest to meet the greatest living American poets, visiting refugee children, recording

Wait, what?

We’ll get to that part. But let’s back up a bit first. AMERICAN ADVENTURE Broza was born in Israel but moved to Spain with his family as a youngster, a fact that influenced his music and guitar playing. He had great success in the art world, and then with his music. In his late 20s, Broza landed in New Jersey, with a mission to deepen his knowledge of American culture. “I started my career at 22, and very quickly I had my first numberone hit record, then my second number one. Every album hit really big. I felt like it came too quickly for me. I hadn’t had time to establish myself as a musician. I felt accomplished as a painter, an artist, but not as a musician.” He came to the U.S. in search of the essence, the source of the

music he loved — blues, jazz, folk. “John Coltrane, David Crosby, Jimi Hendrix, this is what interested me. I started out in New York City, and then I realized I had to search way beyond.” He trekked through the Midwest and the Deep South, meeting some of America’s greatest wordsmiths. Putting existing poems to music isn’t a thing here, but it is overseas. “It’s quite common in Israel, but nobody did it in the states. It seemed like a natural to me. I just had to set out and find the poets. I crisscrossed the country. Not only was I into reading the poetry, but I wanted to meet the writers,” he said.

He spent time in Arizona, on the West Coast, in Indiana, all up and down the East Coast. Elizabeth Bishop, Anne Sexton, and Theodore Roethke, poets that Broza respected, had died, but he met with Liam Rector, Donald Hall, Matthew Graham, and Albert Rios

Guitar Masters, Taylor-Made

For the first time, Guild Hall of East Hampton will be hosting a three-day music festival over the first weekend in July. It will feature some of the world’s most revered and talented guitarists.

Produced by artistic Jill-of-alltrades Taylor Barton and featuring a “Portraits” session with her husband, G.E. Smith, former musical director of “Saturday Night Live” — the Guitar Masters festival combines ticketed performances with documentary films, a talk, and a book signing.

June 13, 2018

“This is a brand-new launch project, which was conceived originally by Marty Cohen [board chairman of Guild Hall] and Ralph Gibson,” said Barton on a beautiful, breezy June day at her home in Amagansett.

“We set about doing a program that would be diversified, that would feature all the genres, and would

feature one of G.E.’s ‘Portraits’ series,” she said.

The festival kicks off on Thursday, July 5, with a screening of Can’t Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police at 4 PM, based on the acclaimed memoir One Train Later by The Police’s guitarist, Andy Summers. The film is preceded by a short, Music for Lens and Guitar, by renowned photographer and musician Ralph Gibson. The film series for the festival is curated by director Mary Jane Marcasiano.

At 8 PM that night, Summers and Gibson will perform a concert, each playing solo. Friday, July 6, brings a 4 PM film screening of Badi, which observes the personal trajectory and the international career of the Brazilian singer, guitarist, and composer Badi Assad, who will perform on the Guild Hall stage on Saturday. From classical to pop, Assad has navigated a male-dominated

musical scene, along with the pressures of coming from a family of virtuoso musicians. The documentary is in Portuguese with English subtitles and is preceded by History of the Electric Guitar — excerpted from Smithsonian Channel’s “Electrified: The Guitar Revolution” — and features Smith performing the history of the electric guitar, from steel to squeal, in just one song.

Friday night at 8 PM, Smith will present one of his “Portraits” sessions, with Fairport Convention’s Richard Thompson and his son, Teddy Thompson. Richard Thompson has been called one of the greatest electric guitarists of all time. His son is an acclaimed singer-songwriter in his own right. “The ‘Portraits’ series is a fun, intimate way of presenting music,” Smith explained. “It’s not a concert and it’s not an interview. We might only play part of a song, and then say, ‘That

reminds me of that time . . .’”

“Portraits” is kind of like being invited to hang out a few old friends who just happen to be the best musicians in the world and getting to watch as they gab and jam.

Saturday is a big day, beginning with a guitar talk at 10:30 AM with noted luthier Ken Parker, who will discuss “The Art of Guitar Making.” Also, on hand to read excerpts and sign copies of her book, Please Be With Me: A Song for my Father, Duane Allman, will be Galadrielle Allman. Music journalist Mikal Gilmore called the book, “The most moving music biography I’ve ever read.” Saturday’s 4 PM film screening features the award-winning documentary East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem, which chronicles Israeli multi-platinum recording star David Broza’s attempt to gather

‘I Am’ elevates female perspective By Nicole Teitler

This summer, The White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton will welcome I AM, a collective of globally celebrated female artists, in a series of live art performances spanning June through August. Started in Asia in 2013 by

American performance artist and director Kate Marsh and growing worldwide, I AM makes its Hamptons debut in a gallery that supports bold, contemporary artists. The Independent sat down with Marsh to get the skinny. Who is involved with I

I AM is a global collective of female artists aiming to build connections through unique performance experiences. I AM is about empowering the artist and the audience to embrace expression and their creative, spontaneous selves. We make live art which is entertaining yet thought provoking at the same time. Most of the artists involved have dance or theater backgrounds with a common interest in improvisation as a tool for exchange with the audience. How did I AM come together? I had always been creating and producing my own work from the moment I graduated with my BA in Dance [from Connecticut

College]. The amount of work grew in London doing my MA in Choreography [from Middlesex University] and then, even more so after I moved to Asia — I observed the audience demanding more and more. I saw a niche for my specific aesthetic and the way I was combining performance art with the dining experience or in nontraditional contexts. My work continued to grow and organically it made sense to establish a movement and platform dedicated to elevating the female artist perspective. I AM is the most powerful statement I knew at the time and I wanted to make powerful and empowering experiences for people. I found that many artists really wanted to be a part of something like that and voila, a company was born in 2013.

To the painters’ dismay, the fog began to dissipate shortly after their arrival, but they continued to paint under the intense rays of the sun. Originally created by Frank Sofo nearly 10 years ago, the Plein Air Painters have already held several art shows this year and expect to host their next show on June 15.

My Perfect Day: Quogue Quogue and East Quogue. Both villages are so tiny I decided to combine them for “My Perfect Day — Quogue.”

I would start my day with an iced coffee from Beth’s Café in the downtown area of Quogue. This quaint and adorable cafe may be one of the only options in town, but it sure is a good one. And the iced coffee comes with a paper straw, which always gets brownie points with me (#strawlesssummer). Beth’s Café is open for breakfast and lunch. After coffee, it’s off to the Quogue Library, which offers an outdoor sculpture exhibit by artist Niki Lederer through the month of June. Lederer explores a love/ hate relationship with consumer culture. She makes sculpture from repurposed plastic that she harvests from curbside recycling.

For brunch, it’s a stop at Hamptons Farms in East Quogue. This is a favorite new spot in the area. The brunch menu and cocktails are equally delicious. Try the super

Later in the afternoon, it’s off to explore the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. I could spend hours exploring this 300-acre preserve. Upon entering, you will find the resident animals, which include a barred owl, red fox, and bald eagle that have been injured and require human care to survive. The views along the trails are beautiful. During a stroll through the property’s trails, I discovered even more diverse wildlife, including a few turtles and a hawk. On the grounds there is also a butterfly garden. Say no more, this is my new favorite place to wander. For dinner, it’s the Stone Creek Inn. It’s one of my favorite restaurants on the East End, not just East Quogue.

Owners Elaine Digiacomo and chef Christian Mir met while working at New York’s landmark Tavern on the Green. In 1996, they opened the Stone Creek Inn in what was once the Ambassador Inn, built in 1910.

Hamptons Farms

I love a good prix fixe, and Stone Creek Inn participates in many of the Restaurant Weeks that come to town. I advise you to take advantage of the cuisine du marche (cooked with local produce) menu when that time of the year rolls around. It’s the best deal in town. It also offers a two-course $30

Stone Creek Inn prix fixe all evening Monday to Wednesday and Thursday to Sunday for 5:30 reservations. It is also available from Uber Eats, but

Green Is The New Black By Nicole Teitler

Remember Me Green is taking eco fashion to new heights by repurposing New York City billboards destined for the landfill and transforming them into wearable art. Imagine marveling at the ad campaigns in iconic Times Square while holding onto a very piece of such historic energy in the form of a tote, wine bag, or zipper pouch. Now, trendsetters across the globe can take a piece of the Big Apple with them wherever they go.

June 13, 2018

Incorporated in 2012, Remember Me Green has its roots on Long Island. Founded by Long Island native Jillian Brown, the company is run by a handful of dedicated employees out of its Bay Shore manufacturing facility, which opened in 2016.

“I’m passionate about preserving the environment and wanted to create a business that would help reduce waste and provide customers with a stylish, eco-friendly

product,” Brown, the company’s CEO, explained. “When I found out about how billboards are most commonly thrown into landfills and that they’re made from vinyl [a form of non-biodegradable plastic], I knew I wanted to find a way to repurpose the material. I’ve always loved handbags, accessories, and a good challenge, and Remember Me Green came to life!”

Each piece is one-of-a kind and made from durable, weatherproof vinyl, ideal for going from brunch to the beach and everywhere in between. Once the billboards are attained, typically sized at 14-by-48 feet, the most interesting piece of the former ad is preserved before being stenciled, cut, cleaned, and sewn together. Once completed, the totes are adorned with soft prima cotton rope handles which are hand-woven and twisted, making them both stylish and strong. The discarded pieces from production are then made into the mailer bags that ship customer purchases.

With several different sizes and designs, totes and accessories come with pockets and zippers, perfect for carrying makeup, books, laptops, bottles and more. For those wanting an even more individualized product, customizable options are available and a backpack style is expected to be released later in the year. “Instead of marveling at the lights and billboards, I see the potential for awesome bags,” said Brown. “Seeing how huge the billboards really are in comparison to the humans walking beneath them inspires me to want to repurpose as many billboards as possible to keep these massive pieces of plastic out of landfills.”

The company dedicates every part of the process to sustainability. Plastic silverware is banned from the office, and furniture is craftily created, with repurposed pallets serving as desks and wire spools used as tables. “More than anything,

I want to teach people that just because something seems like waste doesn’t mean we should waste it. Reduce, reuse, recycle. It’s the oldest three-word alliteration in the book, but it’s so true and something I’m so passionate about,” explained Brown. Today, green is the new black. “Giving back to a good cause should always be trending! Going green is timeless.” Visit www.remembermegreen. com to purchase items, learn more, or find a list of stores carrying Remember Me Green products across the East End and nationwide.

Every weekend sees musical acts queuing up to perform to its loyal fan base. www.thesurflodge.com 3. For those who enjoy partying in the day time, Gurney’s Beach Bar and Shelter Island’s Sunset Beach provide the ideal venues. Sunset Beach channels the Euro South of France vibe, whereas Gurney’s offers a more contemporary American scene. www.gurneysresorts.com, www.sunsetbeachli.com 4. We still miss Jet East and the Star Room, however it would appear that, at least for the moment, the hottest club in the Hamptons is in fact exercise phenomenon SoulCycle. Whereas people thronged to get into the top club, today the wait list for the more talented instructors and their play-mixes stretches into the hundreds. www.soul-cycle.com

1. Although it has left for New York this September, for years some 200 designers congregated in Water Mill for Super Saturday — a sale with proceeds going to ovarian cancer. This year, The Hamptons Jewelry Show 2018 takes precedent — a tented show with some $30 million plus of exclusive jewelry and antiques on display and for sale in Southampton. The show happens August 2 to 5. www.hamptonsjewelryshow.com

2. Back in the day, musician P. Diddy created the iconic White Party in the Hamptons, packed with celebs including Jay-Z, mobile food trucks to keep the party fed, and even “special” brownies. Now, Bella’s White Party, held at the Southampton Social Club, has picked up the baton. 3. Movie producer Ted Fields was one of the first to create the A-list, impossible to get into parties which today, billionaire Ronald Perelman has surpassed with his annual Apollo in the Hamptons — A Night of Legends fundraiser for the Apollo Theatre; this year’s date is August 11. Previous guests have included Justin Timberlake, Jon Bon Jovi, Lionel Richie, and John Legend to name a few. www.apollotheater.org 4.

Reading Our Region // Joan Baum Coulson, a “math geek” and the smartest guy in his class, but also kind of shy. What they share is a love of intellectual challenge, and what the plot of The Initiation gives them and four of their classmates is plenty of challenge by way of a series of life or death games.

One For Teens, One For Adults

Call the story a “nerd version of The Hunger Games,” the author has said. And look at it as “quasi-interactive” because it invites readers to solve the “brainy challenges” that confront the youngsters who pledge for The Initiation, as a way to improve their lives.

What the characters can’t imagine, however, are the timed mental and physical ordeals they will have to face in the sinister, abandoned NYC subway system, where the Initiation takes place. Some puzzles may be familiar to older readers, but everyone will recognize that the ultimate challenge is to be a decent and courageous human being in the face of fear, envy, or pain. The author, a former Wall Street bond trader and a math graduate from MIT, cleverly draws on contemporary concerns to fashion his sci-fi narrative: “If several of the world’s major issues all went worstcase scenario at the same time, you’d end up with the near-future dystopia of New America.”

The Initiation by Chris Babu, Permuted Press, 325 pp., $21. If adolescent boys may be the most difficult age group to entice into reading literature, Southampton resident Chris Babu certainly makes a strong pitch for their attention with The Initiation, a compelling futuristic adventure tale that will appeal to young males with heroism fantasies and testosterone on the move.

June 13, 2018

It’s possible, though, that teenage girls who tend to mature earlier, and are not sidelined by romance fiction, may also find Babu’s debut novel engaging.

One of the main characters, Clarice, a beautiful, super-bright withdrawn 15-year-old, comes to allow herself to feel affection for the protagonist of the book, young Drayden

That apocalyptic “Confluence” has already occurred when the story begins, leaving in its wake a despotic regime of 100,000 people who live in Manhattan, are separated into class zones, and are ruled by restrictive political, economic, and societal laws. Teachers and parents might well consider suggesting that this literate and suspenseful book be included on middle school and high school curricula.

home town of Richmond.

Fans will recognize some minor characters who were major players in earlier murder mysteries, and it’s nice to see them back, if briefly, because Annie’s Bones is in many ways about nostalgia — as though Owen is keeping up with his own age as well as the age of his protagonist, who is introduced on page one “squatting like an arthritic catcher in the Virginia mud.”

The narrative opens in May 2016 and alternates between that date and 1968, when James Grayson (Gray) Melvin’s 19-year-old college sweetheart went missing after rejecting him. She ran from his car, never to be seen again until 48 years later, when her bones accidentally turn up during a local dig.

Gray would have married Annie in a heartbeat. She still had his class ring when they split. But what happened that night she fled? He’s well aware that locals consider him the prime suspect in her disappearance, which they really think was murder. Four decades later, her family is still hell bent on revenge.

Wealthy and politically well connected, her brother ensures that Gray never gets or keeps a decent job, especially in journalism, his love, and it is obvious who makes the phone call that sets the plot in motion: “Enjoy your last few days of freedom, asshole . . . they found her. They found Annie.”

By giving Grey sympathetic context

— a drunken father, a mother who left him when he was a child, a troubled sister, a failed marriage — Owen makes clear that Grey is a likeable, hardworking man who is honest with himself. (“He didn’t have any experience being cool. He only had experience pretending to be cool.”) He has earned the love of a good woman, but even she doesn’t know the full story of his relationship with Annie. Still, she stands by him, giving Owen a chance to do what he does best — craft complex characters of flawed humanity that are as much universal in their longing as they are exemplary of a changing rural, low-income part of the country that more Americans should know more about.

Annie’s Bones by Howard Owen. The Permanent Press, 264 pp., $ 29.95. Though this is crime literature award-winning Howard Owen’s 16th book from his Sag Harbor publishers, he continues to deliver inventive fiction by way of colorful characters and a strong sense of place, usually regions around his B-17

— but a parole hearing changes everything.

The Tenth Year was written and produced by father and son team, Richard B. Anderson and Richard Anderson and directed by Richard Anderson (past winner of Best Student Film on Long Island at the Hamptons Take 2 festival for Decisions and Journey). This true to life drama follows the lives of a broken couple who, after 10 years without their son, are still trying to get their lives back on track

I was thrilled to be Line Producer on the film. Many know me from my interviews at events through FameHampton, so it was nice to showcase my other talents behind the scenes.

This film was inspired by the truelife experiences of Renee Napier, who also had a song written about her life by singer/songwriter, Matthew West. Former soap opera actors, Austin Peck and his wife, Terri Conn-Peck, are the real-life couple who portray the on-screen couple, giving powerful performances in this drama that will have you in tears by its end.

Young filmmaker Richard Anderson is owner of RA Cinematics and his father, Richard B. Anderson is owner of Livingstone Media and the Founder of Hope Radio, where he is the on-air host of “The Morning Drive,” which broadcasts from Holding Out Hope Church in Middle Island, where he is the pastor.

will there Be A 2018 EHHS Football Team? By Alden Powers

June 13, 2018

Go Bonac football! It’s a phrase that has seldom been heard for over a year in the hallways of East Hampton High School. In August of 2017, only 14 players showed up for preseason football practice, which was not even enough to field a team. The sport was cancelled. Now what? Many students and community members don’t understand what is really going on. The football team needs a minimum of 24 players, but only 14 came to the first varsity tryout in 2017. East Hampton has had a football team since the early 1920s, but it simply had to cancel the team with only 15 players trying out for varsity and junior varsity. Throughout the school year,

students and coaches have been trying to build the program back up, and there may be a football team in 2018.

So, why did only a few players try out? There is a problem with interest level, but also with the league itself. Divisions are decided based on school size, which seems to be indicative of the number of players who will try out. The bigger the school, the more players, and better chance of the best players possible being on the field.

Evidently, this is not always the case, and schools like East Hampton are at a disadvantage. EHHS has 878 students, putting it in the highly competitive Division III. This has resulted in many losses, as the 2016 season had only one

victorious game. Is it possible the demoralization, constant losses, and simply getting beat up by bigger, better teams are contributing to the deteriorating interest level? Football has prompted controversy around the nation with new research detailing life-threatening concussions and injuries resulting from the extreme contact. Some high schools have disbanded their football teams due to safety issues. Participation in high school football is down three and a half percent over the past five years, according to the annual survey by the National Association of State High School Federations. Even the NFL has changed the rules to limit injuries. The issue is fraught with

controversy. For some, football is a fun sport, which allows players to be active and part of the community. But many are becoming increasingly concerned. This summer, researchers at Boston University said they’d found evidence of a brain disease linked to repeat head blows in nearly all of the 202 former football players they studied. Coach McKee, the East Hampton head coach, cites concussions as a major concern. “I think it’s the major reason why high school football has been in such decline,” he said. Despite all this, East Hampton High School athletic director Joe Vas and coach McKee have been fervently pushing to get the team

Students Help Build School In Nicaragua By Talia Albukrek

When the opportunity to go on a trek to build a school in another country was first brought up, I instantly felt a pull towards the idea, a desire to be part of it. This special chance at something new seemed exciting and different. The more I sat on the idea of applying to get chosen to go, I realized something pivotal: a trip like this was not going to be “fun.” It was going to be uncomfortable. I would probably miss home. I would feel emotional and surprised by what I saw. But that was the whole point.

C-2

To get into East Hampton’s story a little, originally the trip offered was to go to Nepal. A large group of juniors and a few sophomores filled out a lengthy application with questions asking about character traits, fundraising skills, and some random ones thrown in there. Because there was such a sizable pool of applications, our teacher and coordinator, Mr. Barbour, decided to add a trip before the one to Nepal. This trip was to Nicaragua, where 16 students, including me, ended up going to in

April.

This trek would be hard to pull off because each student had to raise around $4000 in just a few months. Once the students going were chosen, we all began reaching out to local companies, friends, and family for donations. It sometimes felt nerve wracking, because money is never an easy thing to ask for. After what felt like ages of waiting for the day to come, we finally were ready to take off to a remote village in Nicaragua. With our stuffed trek bags on our backs and butterflies in our stomachs, we were ready for the journey. Ironically, we did not end up leaving when we thought we would because of a snowstorm that hit,

cancelling our flight. We ended up losing a day on the trip but made up for it by working extra hard. It took quite some time to get to the village, approximately two plane rides and around seven to eight more hours on a bumpy bus ride up the mountain. It felt surreal when we actually got there, and none of us knew what to expect.

When we arrived, we saw kids waving from across a river. One by one, we walked on top of a log to get to our village for the next week. The village held an opening ceremony for us with beautiful dancing, singing, and a production by the kids. The villagers were clearly extremely happy that we finally arrived to their home, and we were too. There was also a flutter

StudentNews that we were leaving and so did the village. My experience was so special and different. I got to do something completely new and out of my comfort zone. I made very close relationships with everyone on my team and many in the village. I ate a lot of rice and beans, pretty much for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And we made a huge impact on the village and gave the children the opportunity for a higher level of education.

The experience was very humbling but also it made me realize that all the little problems in my life do not matter. I feel a little melancholy that I will most likely never visit the village again, but also very proud of what we did. If given the opportunity to do this again, I would. I’m sure I speak for many in the group of students that went to Nicaragua when I say that the experience was one I will never forget.

of nerves in the air from both sides, but that subsided with time.

June 13, 2018

From that point, the students split into different size groups and got placed with host families. Although this makes sense, I did not put together the fact that the villagers would not speak English. The first few nights we spent with our host family, there was quite a significant language barrier. Although me and the two others in my house take Spanish at school, our knowledge of the language felt limited because of the way the villagers spoke fastpaced and completely in Spanish. Everything in Nicaragua was completely different than I expected. The village was constantly shrilling with the sounds of bugs, and the landscape looked surreal because of the mountainous terrain and deep green brush. The houses were very small, our

room put together for us with a makeshift divider and a few cots. The bathroom, or “latrine,” was a wooden hut several feet down from our house. The shower was outside with a bucket and some water.

Each morning, we would wake up early and begin to work side by side with the villagers. One of BuildOn’s policies is to ensure that the villagers are working as much as the students on the trek. This is very important to show that the school is not a gift but a collaborative effort. It is also important because after we leave, the village has to continue building what we started. What surprised me most is, despite the living conditions that the villagers faced every day, they genuinely seemed happy. It made me question everything I have ever known about possessions and what is truly important. It

also highlighted the importance of family and tradition. I realized that more important than what I would get out of the experience was what the villagers would get, which was an opportunity for a better life.

After a few nights, I felt quite a strong connection with my host family and soon the village. Through the use of translators, we got to have personal talks with the villagers and discussed any questions they had about America and our lifestyle and we got to do the same. We also got to teach the kids some English and they showed us some of their school books and pencils. Before we came in, they had a very small school with only a couple teachers and so all of us were anxious to get the new school up and running. At the end of our time in Nicaragua, our group felt sad

back for next year. McKee said, based on the level of interest from various meetings throughout the year, there will definitely be a team, whether JV or Varsity. This team will be in Division IV, for the smallest schools, and not be eligible for the postseason for the next two seasons. This could allow the football program to get back on its feet and be somewhat competitive.

But how do the students feel about this? Most students support the idea of a football team. Some say that if they want to play, students should be allowed to play football, and that the field should be used. According to students, the high school pep band felt remiss without football games to attend, and homecoming just wasn’t the same in the gym with volleyball. Overall, East Hampton High School wants football back. Despite the many challenges facing the program, the East Hampton football team will keep fighting for a chance. The entire nation is still considering what to do about concussions, and the Long Island divisions are still messy, but there will be a 2018 football team for those who want to play. C-3

Sweet Charities By Jessica Mackin-Cipro #ARFRESCUELOVE In April, the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons launched a new social media campaign, #ARFRESCUELOVE.

Kraft, founder and creative director of advertising firm Kraftworks, and the man behind the iconic Marky Mark and Kate Moss Calvin Klein ads created #ARFRESCUELOVE to showcase ARF’s mission and the animals they save and care for while they wait for their “furever” homes.

food,’” said Layton. She drew some of her inspiration from west coast “smart bars” — establishments that had integrated the healthy caché of the juice bar with the popularity and clientele of an actual bar. Babette’s is still a health-focused haven, providing clean options, like organic produce and grass-fed meats.

What truly set Babette’s ablaze was President Bill Clinton’s impeachment, 20 years ago. “I thought, ‘What can I do?’” she said. “I didn’t even know them.” She wrote a petition asking for an end to the Kenneth Starr investigation into the president. “I hung it outside of this restaurant, on the door. Everyone told me, ‘Don’t you dare do that.’ And I said, ‘I’m doing that. This is injustice.’ I wound up with close to 8000 signatures.”

Layton on Babette’s recipe for success By Hannah Selinger

Barbara Layton grew up “on the streets, in East New York.” The owner of Babette’s, which is going strong in its 24th season (the East Hampton restaurant opened in 1995), was a city kid with a big vision.

“I was primarily raised by my Italian grandmother, and that was my big influence in cooking,” Layton said. “She cooked for my entire family, five days a week. My mother was a pioneer, and she was a career woman. She ran a textile company. That’s where I get the blend of the best of both worlds.”

B-26

The Hamptons was just a happy accident. “I came out here by myself, on a whim, at the recommendation of a friend — I had never even heard of the Hamptons,” she said. “I fell madly in love with it. And I just said, ‘We’re moving.’ I had a dream, and I saw this [space] and I wanted to open up a restaurant and I wanted to change our lives. I borrowed $10,000 from a friend and we picked up and moved to East Hampton.”

When, in the attorney’s office, Layton was pressed for a restaurant name, she picked one off the cuff: Babette’s, a nod to the 1987 Gabriel Axel film Babette’s Feast about a Parisian refugee who provides a troubled church congregation with a lavish, celebratory banquet. If Barbara Layton’s dream sounds

impossible in 2018, rest assured: It was impossible in 1995, too. But, two years after opening, she had paid back her debt. The restaurant was, however, “dead broke,” and Layton couldn’t secure a loan. As she prepared to close the space of her dreams, she shared the news with a regular patron. “He said to me, ‘Come with me.’ So, we went to one of the banks and we walked out of there with a loan for 50K and that’s all I needed,” she said.

Babette’s concept feels right at home in this decade, but in 1995, it was new territory. The restaurant focuses on local produce, sustainable meats, and juices, with a broad lunch and dinner menu that could convince even the pickiest eater to stop in for a bite. “The term clean food wasn’t around yet, but that’s how I describe it now. At the time, it was just ‘health

Since that auspicious day, yes, the Clintons have become regulars of Babette’s during their August trips to the Hamptons, but the restaurant has also cemented itself as a hotbed of community conversation. It is, as Layton describes, the gathering place for political conversations, both local and national. “A restaurant,” she concluded, “is more than just about — for me — serving great, consistent food. Community is very important to me. What goes on in the community is very important to me.” That ethos may just be a recipe for long-standing success in the Hamptons.

Each week The Independent features a local restaurant that has stood the test of time. Each restaurant has been open for over a decade.

June 13, 2018

Layton’s career has been a circuitous one. She met her (now former) chef husband at one of New York’s first vegetarian restaurants, and the pair had a son, Zach. While she raised him, Layton managed restaurants in the city and, later, became a Montessori

teacher, a job she pursued for the following 15 years.

Later, a patron who also happened to be a major donor to the Clinton campaign, stopped by the restaurant and asked if he could take the petition to the president. Layton received, first, a letter of gratitude from President Clinton, and, second, a brush with his motorcade. “The entire motorcade came down Newtown Lane and stopped in front of the restaurant, and they walked in, and that was the beginning of me entering the scene of politics. My whole life changed,” Layton said.

Now Serving: Caci Shelter Island By Nicole Teitler

Shelter Island welcomes a new culinary neighbor, serving Northern Italian and seasonal cuisine. Caci Restaurant, known for its main location in Southold, opened a second location Caci Shelter Island in the historic hotel, The Shelter Island House, in Shelter Island Heights in May.

June 13, 2018

The new restaurant offers a menu highlighting seasonal inspirations from Umbrian executive chef Marco Pellegrini. Pellegrini grew up in the center of the Italian peninsula, in the town of Foligno, before moving his family to Long Island. He opened Caci North Fork in 2014. “I am inspired by the agriculture and aquaculture the North Fork offers and believe that the access to these fresh ingredients provides me the opportunities to create an unforgettable dining experience,” said Pellegrini. “I am really looking forward to bringing this unique menu, as well as tastes of Central and Northern Italy, to Shelter Island.” Short for Cacioppo, the restaurant is named after husband and wife team, Anthony and Daniele

Cacioppo, who moved to Southold in 1995. In a serendipitous change of events, the two discovered Chef Pelligrini while vacationing in Italy. “It was a magical connection. Marco’s authentic and simple style was exactly what we were in search of. We asked Marco to take a look at the North Fork and the wheels started turning,” said Daniele Cacioppo.

Additional owners are Anthony’s brother Joseph and his wife, Kelly Cacioppo. Caci Shelter Island came to fruition through childhood friends of the Cacioppo brothers, owners of The Shelter Island House, Suzanne and Janet Walsh.

Caci Shelter Island has a simple, yet inventive menu with house made pasta, gnocchi, bread, and gelato, with locally sourced ingredients as well as imported Italian elements. Starters include imported buffalo mozzarella with roasted red peppers, seared sea scallops with blueberry chutney and crispy pancetta, and half dozen raw local oysters. Pasta dishes include house made buffalo ricotta ravioli with Umbrian black truffle and taglierini with little neck clams and grape tomato

confit. Main dishes comprise veal ossobuco Milanese with risotto, or grilled lamb chop with apple chutney. Desserts include tiramisu with hazelnut pralines or for di latte gelato with amarena cherry.

Caci Shelter Island is located at 11 Stearns Point Road in Shelter Island Heights. For more information and to reserve a table, visit www.cacirestaurants.com or call 631-749-5659.

“After several discussions regarding both businesses, it became apparent that Caci taking over restaurant operations at Shelter Island House would be a winning collaboration and a complement for both Caci and The Shelter Island House brands. [It] happened at just the right time for us to expand,” noted Anthony Cacioppo. “We have always loved visiting Shelter Island, and the historic charm of this graciously restored inn attracted us to the opportunity to have our second location here.” B-27

Uber Eats offers food delivery from restaurants including Rumba.

Food & Beverage By Jessica Mackin-Cipro FIFA World Cup

June 13, 2018

The 21st FIFA World Cup will kick off on Thursday, June 14, with 32 teams throughout the world battling for the title of world’s best soccer team. The tournament will kick off with host team Russia taking on Saudi Arabia. Several Hamptons restaurants are embracing the World Cup fever this year and will host soccer viewing.

Rowdy Hall, which has been a viewing spot for soccer fans for the past several World Cups, takes the party outside with a big screen TV in the courtyard for optimal viewing for large crowds. Grab a beer at the Rowdy bar and head outside to watch the action. Rowdy will show the 11 AM and 2 PM games and the 10 AM games starting with the round of top 16. If you love BBQ, head to Townline

BBQ and catch the games on the six large screen HD TVs throughout the restaurant while enjoying some chicken and ribs. Townline will show all of the 11 AM and 2 PM games as well as the 10 AM games starting with the round of top 16. Look for a Stoli Moscow Mule special during the 11 AM and 2 PM games.

Out in Montauk, check out the games with a water view at Navy Beach. The bar at Navy Beach will open early for 10 AM and 11 AM games and feature drink specials on mimosas and Bloody Marys. Why watch the games on one TV when you watch them on eight? The Springs Tavern will be showing the games on multiple TVs throughout the restaurant. Prizes will be given away while the games play on and $5 Heineken and Heineken Light bottles will be served. Over at Indian Wells Tavern in

Amagansett, grab a seat at the bar and catch the action on the five flat screen TVs and order off the bar menu for snacks and cocktails. East Hampton Evening Farmers Market The East Hampton Evening Farmer’s Market will be held every Thursday through August 30 at Calvary Baptist Church in East Hampton from 5 to 8:30 PM. Artisans, makers, farmers, crafters, food producers, and food trucks come together with live music. Uber Eats Uber Eats has expanded into parts of the Hamptons, offering food delivery with full menus from restaurants including Rumba, CowFish, Southampton Publick House, Union Cantina, and many more.

Uber Eats is Uber’s stand-alone meal delivery app designed to make

getting the food you want as easy as requesting a ride — whether you’re at home, at the office, or at the beach. From specialty local favorites to everyday national brands, Uber Eats offers a wide-selection of food options to hungry customers who can track their order, get an upfront delivery time, and use the same account they use to take rides. “We are delighted to be expanding Uber Eats out East this summer. We’ve heard from Uber’s riders and eaters that they value our reliable, affordable, and speedy food delivery no matter where they are,” said Jon Feldman, general manager, Uber Eats New York. “That’s why we’re doing our best to make Uber Eats accessible in as many locations as possible — and this summer, that includes many beaches and towns across Long Island.” Deadline for submissions is Thursday at 9 AM.

Israeli and Palestinian musicians together for a little over a week to experience peace, unity, and creativity through music. The film features Steve Earle, Wyclef Jean, Mira Awad, and many more.

“[Broza] did more for the Middle East peace process in eight days than Secretary of State John Kerry has done in two years,” said Jordan Hoffman in a 2015 Vanity Fair article. (See our article about Broza elsewhere in this week’s Independent.)

The festival closes on Saturday night with an all-out, all-star concert, featuring Broza, Assad, and jazz guitarist Brandon Ross, along with acoustic bass guitarist Stomu Takeishi. “Tickets are selling well,” Barton said. “And the Saturday night concert is selling quickly. It’s going to be an incredible show.”

“Marty really wanted to do something innovative and different, and he asked G.E. and I to do this because we’re passionate about it, and we want the community to get an experience that they haven’t been able to get out here, at least in a long time,” Barton said, referring to the “Back at the Ranch” big-name concerts held at Deep Hollow Ranch in Montauk in the 1990s. Barton hopes that this becomes an annual Guild Hall happening. “It’s such a great venue, and to be able to present so many different genres — world music, jazz, rock, blues — with some of the world’s leading performers and musicians, is incredible. It’s going to be a wonderful, eclectic musical experience,” she said. For ticket prices and more information, visit www.guildhall. org/programs-events/guitarmasters-festival/.

real passion and vision has always been to provide a space dedicated specifically to women to share their narratives, emotions, viewpoints, and creative ingenuity.

I also think it’s equally significant that I AM naturally arms its artists with entrepreneurial skills that aid in sustaining a career in the arts. If our vision of a project somehow includes men or transgender or not exclusively individuals who identify themselves as female, then of course, we collaborate in that way. Describe the differences in the three events: FLASHBACK, WATER MUSINGS and SAVAGE | BEAUTY. The events are totally different. “Flashback” is definitely alongside the current exhibition at the White Room Gallery, the artists of I AM create live responses to a visual arts movement, very edgy and bold. “Water Musings” is very connected to nature, with a softer mood, and includes video projection and poetry. “Savage|Beauty” is an abstract narrative of Black Swan meets Swan Lake in a dinner format. Basically, all the experiences evoke totally different moods and use movement expression in a variety of innovative ways. Why these three themes? “Flashback” and “Water Musings” were chosen alongside the visual arts programming with the gallery; I AM is sharing our interpretation and response to the gallery exhibition themes using live art as our tool. “Savage|Beauty” is one of our performance dinners that first premiered in NYC in 2017 and this will be the first time we bring it outside of Manhattan. We thought this theme would be perfect for the Hamptons as an introduction to our femininity, grace, and also our unapologetically bold creative voice.

Why is it intentionally all female?

In what ways does performance art tell a powerful story?

I think it’s important to elevate the female perspective in contemporary art. Historically, many female artists and voices have been ignored. My

I AM really focuses on performance art because our art comes alive through the exchange of energy with a live audience. We

use the technique of dance as a means of expression, but the ability to use the entire body and our presence as a way to connect with our audiences, this brings out the rawest responses and interactions. This is why we delve into this form of expression. The use of space, body, and time is so precious. What inspired this form of artistic expression? I AM’s way of creating unique immersive performances was really born with my first show, An Evening of Meat, which just recently resurrected for a 60-show run in London. When I first made this dining experience, I was really exploring the range of meanings of different body postures. I’ve always been interested in conveying and disrupting how the female body in particular can be perceived and interpreted. We decided to perform in dining contexts and nonconventional spaces and found that it was really a great way to provide a space for curiosity and exchange. Why is the collective called ‘I AM?’ We tend to want to put all kinds of words after I AM. But what it really must come down to, we are all human and when we accept all sides of ourselves, we can embody and live the statement I AM. I want people to feel empowered by our work and I think this statement is a way to remind audiences and collaborators to feel thoroughly liberated by accepting their whole self as powerful and present. Art can teach us to truly be vulnerable.

What music will accompany the performances? Each event will have a curated playlist inspired by the theme. The score will aid in cultivating a mood in the space, laying a foundation for creating a strong emotional and sensory statement for the experience. what is your goal in connecting with the audience? We want to inspire people to release personal inhibitions and just be free to express who they really are or maybe who they want to be in that present moment. No matter where we perform, the performers and audience have this incredible moment of genuine presence and connection, and this is what matters most to us. Like an abstract painting, our work is open to individual interpretation and our hope is that people are moved and feel something new. Performances will be on the following Saturdays: June 16, at 6 PM, “Flashback;” July 21, 6 PM, “Water Musings;” and August 18, 7:30 PM, “Savage | Beauty.’”

What’s the most common misconception about what you do? Often people view imagery on our website or photos and are quick to judge our work as sexy and risqué. On the contrary, our work has moments of sensuality, but I think athleticism, fearless strength, irony, and power dynamics are much more a part of the aesthetic when you actually are experiencing it live. I’ve never encountered negativity towards the show after people have seen it for themselves.

Broza Continued From Page B-2. over the ensuing years. “The travels didn’t ever stop. And I started producing albums based on these poems,” he said.

Broza was invited to give a lecture at Bennington College. “I ended up staying there for 10 years as an associate professor, giving MFA courses in creative writing, which I have no clue about,” he said with a laugh. “I’m not a poet myself, I’m a

reader. I found a way to explain to would-be poets where to find the music in the language.”

He produced two albums set to American poetry and sent them to Bruce Lundvall of EMI, the record company executive who had signed artists like Herbie Hancock and Norah Jones. “And he got what I was doing. But he said to me, ‘Don’t forget, in this day and age, poetry in America is a four-letter word.’” Broza produced six albums in the U.S. “mostly dedicated to American poetry,” one-sixth of his existing recording repertoire. His penultimate album, Night Dawn, produced by G.E. Smith, is exclusively dedicated to the poetry of American singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt. When Van Zandt died, he willed to Broza a shoebox filled with unpublished poems and lyrics, “but it took me 12 years after that to make the album,” he noted.

Broza credits Smith with bringing him even closer to American culture. “G.E. is so knowledgeable about the blues and songs from the Civil War. He’s a real Americana man.” Broza and his wife, famed fashion designer Nili Lotan, are tight with Amagansett residents Smith and his wife, Taylor Barton — who is producing the Guitar Masters series in which Broza will perform — and have become frequent visitors to the East End.

Broza has spent time bringing music to the children at the Shuafat refugee camp, an overcrowded settlement in Jerusalem not normally visited by Israeli Jews. “It’s about sowing seeds of peace everywhere,” he said. In 1999, Broza was introduced to Sabreen, a Palestinian band, and its frontman, Said Murad. “We fell in love with each other, the closest friendship you could think of. [It was] made even more amazing by the fact that I’m Israeli, he’s Palestinian, and no Israeli and Palestinians really worked toward doing things together. It’s almost a forbidden thought to visit East Jerusalem, even though it’s part of Israel.”

The friendship blossomed into musical collaboration, recording several albums together over the years. “Then one day, someone — it may have been Said, it may have been my manager, Danny Goldberg — someone said, ‘If you do an album with your Palestinian friends, it will really make people think.’” It wasn’t about business, Broza explained. It was about peace and love.

“We recorded it. We filmed it. The rest is history,” he explained. The documentary, billed as “eight days and eight nights of music, food, and camaraderie of Israeli and Palestinian musicians — a damn good story and one groundbreaking album,” will be shown as part of Guild Hall’s “Guitar Masters” series, prior to Broza’s Saturday night performance on July 7. The film is also available on Netflix and has been a contender in several film festivals. “The Jerusalem Youth Chorus was only three months old when we did this. Now it’s been three years. And they have travelled the world, become friends for life,” he said passionately.

“There is no owner to this story,” he concluded. “There are two sides. And each side is the real side.” For more information about David Broza and the Guitar Masters series, visit www.guildhall.org.

But Broza’s most ambitious project was yet to come. An album and a documentary film of the same name — East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem — follows eight days during which Broza, a lifelong activist, gathered together musicians from both Israel and Palestine, culminating in a poignant and profound recording session featuring the album’s producer, American legend Steve Earle, rapper Wyclef Jean (who cowrote the title track with Broza), and the Jerusalem Youth Chorus, an Israeli-Palestinian ensemble of high school singers who believe in “transcending conflict through song.”

REAL REALTy: ED BRUEHL By Zach Weiss

Ed Bruehl has 14 years of experience in luxury real estate, and his knowledge of the local market shines through in every transaction he touches, whether it be luxury homes, land acquisitions, or rental properties. Here, we get to know Ed, and find out how this California native made his way out East.

You SpeCialize in eaSt Hampton — wHat makeS tHe town unique in tHe granD SCHeme of tHe real eState market out eaSt? Well, of course it all starts with the incredible East End geography — in my humble opinion, the Hamptons are all about the land and sea. I know people like to associate them with the rich and famous, mansions and over-the-top extravagance, but it isn’t about that at all, quite the contrary. It is a very beautiful, rather quiet mix of communities — where every hamlet has access to the bay, a beach, or an ocean beach within minutes. East Hampton is one of the two main towns: Southampton and East Hampton. East Hampton Town includes Wainscott to Sag Harbor to Montauk. It has always been a morepopulated town, but recently it has quite a thriving yearround community and a terrific village. Walking Main Street and Newtown Lane is always a good time as is enjoying the huge village park. I think it has been overlooked, with the massive growth recently in neighboring places like Sagaponack, Water Mill, and Bridgehampton, especially in the high-end “spec builder” market. That said, I think it is beginning to awaken and it is fun to watch. Springs is such a special place and has really exploded recently — I think it’s proof that East Hampton is becoming popular again.

c-2 34

Yes, very much so. But, that said, not everything sells at top-dollar. A lot of sellers will ask how I would price their home. They are anchoring their hopeful price on a neighboring sale of a custom new construction, sold for a top-ofmarket price. To really break down this thought, think of it like this — the land and the home both have separate values, and the house is where the pricing gets disputable. Because oftentimes the sellers adds value to their older house that the market may not agree with. On the flip side, a newly built home can get a very attractive premium if it is designed and built beautifully. So, using two extremes, the structure is either a teardown or it is the most gorgeous, intelligently finished, quality throughout, tastefully-built home you’ve ever seen. And the land has a value. Together they make up the market price.

You reCentlY moveD to SaunDerS. wHat prompteD tHe move?

There is really no comparison. Saunders is a cut above every firm out here, and considerably so. The service team is over-the-top exceptional, the on-site marketing department, and the in-house attorney all working around the clock to solve problems instantly or print a brochure for a custom sign or take a last-minute drone shot for a new video on Instagram. I am super happy here and it shows in how I am able to serve my clients and customers. Saunders is like working with a hot new start-up with an expansive mind-set and all we want to do is kick ass for our customers.

in looking at tHe HamptonS market aS a wHole, Do You feel inveStment propertieS are on tHe riSe?

Sorry if that comes off as unprofessional, but it really is the best way I can say it. And my fellow brokers all share this success mentality, as it is built into the culture. I mean think about this — our office meetings have between 50 and 75-plus brokers every week, all watching an oversized screen as we go through each hamlet’s market activities and updates. I can’t say enough good things about working here, and if anyone reading this thinks we’d be a good fit, call or email me.

in Your 14 YearS of experienCe, wHat are Some leSSonS You’ve learneD along tHe waY tHat You Can SHare witH reaDerS? Choose your real estate broker/ agent wisely and with serious consideration. And please choose a pro who takes this profession seriously and works with one of the top-shelf firms. Whether you are a seller or a buyer you really need to make sure you are working with someone who knows the market and can fully navigate a transaction from beginning to end. This is a very personal transaction, often the biggest of a lifetime. For my buyers I like to make sure we know every possible option in their chosen area. And for my sellers I love working together to choose the right photographs, ad copy, pricing, and the overall story. All together, this is what makes up

what I am saying while selling and marketing their home. Remember almost every deal these days comes through the internet — meaning you are only as good as your online presence. That is all you’ve got to make a first impression. Unfortunately most sellers I meet or who have already worked with another agent want me to hurry up and get it up on the internet as soon as possible so they can see it and start hearing offers. My advice is to slow down! Let’s get the story correct. Take great photos. Capture a sunset or a sunrise or a drone shot. Fully understand the actual value and then price accordingly. It is so much easier to list the home than to actually sell it. This market is so much more transparent then ever before, especially with Zillow/ Realtor/MLS — all of which provide portals for the buyer and the seller — meaning they are regularly more informed then almost every broker out here, especially in their micro-neighborhood. And, I say, great! Let’s use every tool we’ve got, and they can lean on me to create the marketing materials, implement the strategy, host open houses, and more. I really enjoy working closely with my buyers and my sellers and it regularly results in lifelong relationships long after the deal is done.

How DiD You get Your Start? Tim Davis from Corcoran asked me to work with a top-producing agent at Allan Schneider in Southampton. I’ll never forget my first year — we rented over 35 properties. Talk about learning the ropes quickly! We went on to became the top producers in the office the second year and I was hooked. I love the land, selling it and learning about it and sharing it with other people. It is a service I really enjoy. And I love the buzz around each deal. Each one has uniqueness to it and I really like rolling along with the ebbs and flows. It isn’t easy, actually each one can be quite challenging because there is always a bump in the road, so I’ve learned to expect them as it helps makes things much smoother. I also think staying calm, organized, and productive makes all the difference in the world.

wHo are Some of Your ConfiDanteS tHat You turn to for aDviCe wHen You’re growing Your portfolio? Andrew and Colleen Saunders — they don’t just run the most amazing brokerage in the Hamptons, but they know how to live, share graciously with others, and enjoy life to the fullest while simultaneously raising a family. Whether coaching on a negotiation nuance or processing a creative marketing solution, they are

always there to help and co-create with me. It really means the world — I think it is a big part of my success in the business.

wHat iS Your aDviCe to new SaleSpeople?

Take it seriously. Do a little something every day. The best customers are people you already know and who trust you. Find a way to work for them. And when they give you a chance, really work for them! Open doors every day, say “hi” to people as a confident salesperson, and do all you can to genuinely help others. It is fullservice business, once you learn that, the phone and inbox will light up.

SALTy HOME SELLS ECLECTIC DéCOR meanings. The obvious for us was salt water — but also salt for food — how it enhances flavor. Also, “salt of the earth.” The biblical meaning. There was so much depth to it.

Salty Home is quite eclectic. There are many different styles: coastal, cottage, industrial, some modern, contemporary, traditional. For us, there are no rules. It all seems to work together. Plus, there is something for everyone.

alty Home, in Bridgehampton, sells ‘furnishings with function and flair.’ Owner Jessica de Kerillis places a strong emphasis on the family connection that built the business. However, it’s the loyal customer support that de Kerillis prides her establishment on most. Home decor, aromatherapy, accessories, seasonal finds and more, Salty Home is everything East End.

wHat SpurreD tHe Start of tHe buSineSS?

I really wanted to have my own business and thought I’d either do it when I was young — just out of college — or after I had grown children. Things worked after college, so we were able to open Salty Home when I was 24 years old.

Salty Home is only possible because of my family. My sister, Tricia and I started the business together. She is still involved but lives in Maryland with her husband and daughter. My two sons (ages two and four) come to work with me every day. My mom helps out daily and my dad shows on a regular basis too. Our loyal customers have really become like family to us. We don’t take for granted our customers and do try to give back to them when possible. It means the world to us, not only their business, but their friendship.

REAL ESTATE NEwS By Rick Murphy

eaSt moriCHeS farm An impeccable Arts & Crafts home for sale, located in the Historic District of East Moriches, sits on a gorgeous, 2.2-acre property, which abuts a deeded horse preserve, and was once a working farm. Totally renovated, with loving attention to every detail, the home now offers the amenities that we expect in a 21st-Century abode (gourmet kitchen, central air conditioning, luxurious master bath) while retaining the integrity of houses built in the revered Arts & Crafts style, with their graciouslyshaped rooms, quality wood and glass work, and classic floor plan. The property has been completely overhauled. It features dozens of specimen trees, perennially flowering gardens, and a delightful koi pond, all organically maintained, as well as a new heated barn, which currently serves as a serious workshop.

tHe ameriCan Dream

June 13, 2018

Today homeownership is 64.2 percent — one of the lowest levels in history, according to Judi Desiderio, CEO and president of Town & Country Real Estate. The peak was back in 2004 when nearly 70 percent (69.2 percent to be exact) of all Americans owned their

own home. Why is home ownership so important that it is referred to as “the American Dream?” Ben Carson, who heads the Department of Housing and Urban Development said, “Homeownership serves as an enduring symbol of security and prosperity and provides many Americans with a legacy they can pass down to their children and grandchildren.” Elizabeth Mendenhall, president of the National Association of Realtors said, “National Homeownership Month is a time to celebrate and provide the modern American Dream of owning a home. Homeownership changes lives and enhances futures.” “Homeownership is a vital component to how we live and what we leave behind. When you connect with Mother Nature in the garden or simply by bringing a container of herbs into your apartment, your life becomes more enriched,” said Desiderio. “Creating your own space — your own style — your personal stamp on your personal space is so rewarding. Best of all, you pay your own mortgage instead of someone else’s . . . while building your personal wealth,” she added.

twentY-five aCreS in Sag Harbor Strongheart Manor in North Haven may be Matt Lauer’s stronghold in his time of need, but he has another comfortable fallback residence nearby. But with things in, shall we say, a bit of disarray, that house is being actively marketed. Lauer’s 25-acre estate is in nearby Sag Harbor, which he put on the

market originally after he purchased the manor from Richard Gere. The asking price was $18 million. But despite the formidable acreage, sources say the price has dropped to less than $15 million. The 8000-square-foot secluded residence has six full bathrooms, two half-baths, and the requisite oversized pool and tennis court. Lauer bought some of the acreage almost 20 years ago.

For Sale In Greenport’s West Dublin By Jade Eckardt

Greenport’s West Dublin neighborhood was named after the Irish rail workers who settled there after the Long Island Rail Road tracks were laid out. Just a short walk from the ferry, the Hampton Jitney stop, Main Street, and sandy beaches, the neighborhood is now decorated with vibrant green trees and summer flowers.

Greenport has remained true to its unique historical charm while moving beyond the economic challenges it experienced in recent decades, and it mirrors a true East Coast port village. The deep-water port was established when fishing and whaling vessels coming back from long journeys would anchor at its docks. Currently, real estate agency Douglas Elliman has two listings on the market in West Dublin.

Elliman’s Paul Loeb is the listing agent for what the agency calls a “sweet arts-and-crafts bungalow.” Located next to the synagogue on Fourth Street, the three-bedroom, two-bath home has two floors, a finished basement, and a deck around an in-ground pool — a Greenport rarity. The home even has a fireplace and central air conditioning. To learn more, visit www.elliman.com/long-island/5154th-street-greenport-rzxjlqq.

Nearby, Elliman agent Jill Dunbar is representing a farmhouse on Wiggins Street. The newly and completely renovated home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a back deck, fenced back yard, and an eat-in kitchen with a pantry. For more information visit www. elliman.com/long-island/506wiggins-street-greenport-arzoyal.

Southold To Share Pump-Out Boat

By Jade Eckardt

The Southold Town Board, at a meeting on Tuesday, June 5, voted to allow pump-out boat services to the Village of Greenport during special events and emergencies, and accepted a bid to construct a solar panel system at the town animal shelter. The board voted unanimously on a resolution allowing the Town Supervisor Scott Russell to execute an inter-municipal agreement with Greenport regarding the supply of town pump-out boat services to the village during special events and times of emergency need. In addition, the boat can offload effluent waste for the pump-out boat at the Greenport Pump-out Station for the period of June 1 to October 31, subject to approval by the town attorney.

slightly between Twin Fork towns, but they exist for the same reason — the Peconic and South Shore Estuaries and Greenport Harbor are designated “Vessel Waste No Discharge Zones.” On the North Fork, the service is available in Cutchogue Harbor Marina, Brewer’s Marina, and Sterling Harbor Marina in Greenport, Port of Egypt Marina and Brick Cove Marinas in

Southold, and Greenport Harbor.

The POBs are all available to serve recreational boaters in need of waste removal approximately from Memorial Day through October 31, but the schedule varies slightly by town.

They can be contacted on marine radio CH 73 to arrange a time and meeting place for waste removal. Fees may vary between towns because some marinas have received

grants to cover the services while others have not.

In addition, the board accepted a bid from Ronkonkoma-based SUNation Solar Systems to construct a solar panels system at the Southold Animal Shelter in the amount of $564,752. The project will generate power for the shelter, which is located on Peconic Lane.

Got North Fork news to share? Email to Jade@indyeastend.com by Thursday at noon. VINEYARD FOR SALE The Peconic Bay Winery in Cutchogue is for sale. Sixteen of its 53 acres are zoned for commercial development. The potential exists for a 20-unit hotel, a restaurant/ catering complex, and a roadside retail farm stand. This is in addition to its vineyards and tasting room. Included on the property are a four-bedroom house and 25 acres zoned residential land, of which 60 percent must remain as is. However, 10 acres can be developed into five individual two-acre zoning lots. The property is exclusively represented by Town & Country Real Estate’s team member, Hal Zwick, who is director of commercial real estate and a licensed real estate sales associate. southold FD Moves Why did the house cross the road? Because the fire department has a new home. At the end of May, a

house bought by the Southold Fire District in 2017 was moved from the east side of Boisseau Avenue to the west side. The move and the purchase were made to give the fire department an additional entrance to Boisseau from its Main Road station. Got a classic car? Shelter Island’s Sixth Annual Car Show is ready to roll on June 30 from 10 AM to 4 PM. Presented by the Shelter Island Historical Society and the Shelter Island Fire Department, it is a familyoriented event bringing together acres of muscle cars, sedans, and working vehicles of yesteryear with their owners on hand to answer questions about their rides.

Hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, water, and soft drinks will be provided by Cromer’s Market and prepared by Shelter Island Firefighters. There will be music,

prizes, and plenty of outdoor fun. Admission is $10 per person, $5 for children over six, and free for ages five and under. Family admission is $25 for parents and children. Located on the corner of North Cartwright and Burns Road on Shelter Island. To register a classic car or truck visit www.shelterislandhistorical. org/carshow2018.html or call 631-749-0025.

study was done off season. He also pointed out, as did Eric Schantz, a planner for the town, in a memo written to the board, that the study was lacking in key details, such as collision history in the area, and the volume of traffic on nearby roads. Irace also asked about the waste water. Where would it end up going? Would East Hampton be spared, while the waste water was simply shipped to another community where it would have to be dealt with?

margin of victory, Wilkinson made a tactical decision to stipulate to a disadvantageous vote count. He did this in the laudable interests of efficiency, viewing spending more time and money as wasteful after he had already won. A win is a win is a win, after all, and he had a town to run. Except what looked like tactical expedience on Wilkinson’s part turned out to be a strategic error, as it allowed the Democratic Party, and Cohen in particular, to undermine Wilkinson’s mandate, and more insidiously, his legitimacy — even to this day. Elections are binary outcomes, but the numbers matter. I confess some sympathy here for Cohen, as I fully understand the impulse for an electoral loser to indulge in this sort of circular “coulda/woulda/shoulda” self-delusion — I have myself. But it’s time to face reality.

After a clear and decisive mandate in 2009 in part due to the gross mismanagement and likely financial malfeasance by the previous Democratic administration, Wilkinson was elected handily as supervisor. When he ran for reelection in 2011, he also won decisively — perhaps by 51 to 49 percent margin of victory that was in keeping with several other races at that time. Whatever smaller vote tally was ultimately agreed upon was done AFTER he had already won. Or put it another way: Do you really think the Democratic Party would have agreed to “settle” a

marquee election with such a slim margin before pulling out all the stops, going to court, etc.? I wouldn’t, nor would the Republican Party. The fact that the Democratic Party did not do so tells you all you need to know. Now that 2011 is finally settled, let’s get back to deep-sixing Deepwater.

Amos Goodman, Chairman

East Hampton Town Republican Committee Never Considered Dear Editor,

A recent article written by Rick Murphy described an effort by East Quogue residents to incorporate (“The Village of East Quogue?” 5/8/18).

The article explains that the decision by Southampton’s town board to reject The Hills golf course Planned Development District provided the impetus. According to the organizers of incorporation, the decision to reject the PDD represented a minority point of view. That’s not exactly correct.

Prior to last year’s election, Southampton Town Board member Julie Lofstad had the integrity to announce that, if re-elected, she would vote against The Hills PDD. In other words, Lofstad gave the East Quogue community a choice, and East Quogue residents chose to re-elect Lofstad, thereby effectively rejecting the PDD. The developer of The Hills, Discovery Land of Arizona, has since then filed a lawsuit against the town for rejecting the PDD allegedly because Discovery Land

believed its environmental expertise was unassailable.

However, as pointed in Rick Murphy’s article, the organizers of East Quogue’s incorporation effort plan to address the impact of water-polluting chemicals found on a Damascus Road landfill in East Quogue. The Damascus landfill happens to be located across the street from The Hills property and, while the level of toxicity was only recently uncovered, Discovery Land’s consultants were aware the landfill existed. Yet, to the best of my knowledge, the site’s potential for pollution was never considered. And the Damascus landfill is not the only environmental issue that developers of The Hills failed to consider in their application for the disapproved PDD or in their recently-submitted new application to build a golf course via a Planned Residential District or PRD.

For the record, this letter isn’t meant to oppose incorporation; it’s meant to suggest that incorporation may not accomplish that which the organizers desire.

Respectfully submitted, Susan Cerwinski

Senate

These toxic chemicals are often used to manufacture products like fabric protectors, firefighting foam, and stain repellents. They are common primary ingredients in firefighting foam that was used at the Stewart Air

National Guard base in Newburgh and the Francis S. Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Westhampton Beach for training and fire-suppression exercises, according to state regulators. This has led regulators to suspect the foam as the cause of the groundwater contamination in Newburgh and Westhampton Beach. These chemicals are linked to certain cancers and other serious adverse health effects.

Gillibrand and Schumer successfully secured funding in last year’s National Defense Authorization Act for restoration and mitigation efforts at National Guard and Reserve installations to remediate PFOS and PFOA contamination. Gillibrand also signed a letter requesting funding for the CDC study she helped get into the FY18 National Defense Authorization Act to conduct a public health assessment of affected sites.

to remove contaminants from the water that does make its way to the end of the line. The village board also accepted the resignation of Mark Butler, who has moved out of the village, from the village planning board. The board appointed Philip O’Connell as the board’s chairman and Karen Collins as its vice chairwoman.

Flag Raised For Schaefer Photos by Richard Lewin

When Peter Schaefer passed away from a fall at age 32 on August 27, 2017, the East Hampton Town Historical Farm Museum lost one of its most passionate supporters. By the time of his death, he was already an active environmentalist, an expert in our local history and had become a member of the board of directors of the museum.

On Saturday morning on the museum grounds, at the corner of Cedar Street and North Main Street, a flag raising ceremony was held in Schaefer’s honor. East Hampton Town Board members Kathee Burke-Gonzalez and David Lys joined the Schaefer family, Prudence and Brian Carabine, museum staff, friends, and supporters of the museum in raising a 50-yearold American flag from the Carabine Family, on a “flagpole” that was actually a 100-year-old boat mast donated by The East End Classic Boat Society of Amagansett.

Spotlight On Boating Photos by Richard Lewin

Whether you were interested in buying, renting, chartering, or just looking at, a broad variety of the latest in pleasure boats, Breakwater Yacht Club on Bay Street in Sag Harbor was the place to be on Friday afternoon. The boating community invited everyone to celebrate at the “Second Annual Spotlight on Boating Trade Show,” with delicious food and drink included. Representatives from local marine and yacht dealers gave tours and showed off their latest ideas in marine technology and design for maximum comfort.

Wilma was now completely homeless and living outdoors, along with “Pebbles”, another cat in the same predicament. Both were rescued by RSVP and they soon became favorites among the volunteers. Wilma is a green-eyed beauty, with a regal look, giving her the appearance of a queen. She is a tortishell, approx. 5 years young, very docile and good with other cats.

Plummer said the conduit used to bring the cable to the substation would have a 24-inch diameter. The cable inside will be about half. “The conduit has to be larger because it has to accommodate a device that pulls it through.” Kinsella’s contention that more than one cable would eventually be run is untrue, he noted. “There will be a single cable,” said Plummer. Plummer said Kinsella’s charge that Deepwater, “failed to disclose the price for its electricity to local residents” was also completely untrue; it’s 16 cents per kw although some details of its contract with LIPA/PSEG are confidential, as is standard industry procedure. He also said the Deepwater energy will not “have to be paired with a natural gas plant” as has been reported. Deepwater is waiting the OK from both the East Hampton Town

Board and the East Hampton Town Trustees to submit its application to the state. “We need a decision by end of month to get up and running by 2022,” Plummer said.

Coast Guard Auxiliary NewsCoast Guard news // Vincent Pica poor fine motor skills, crankiness . . . Actions you can take to prevent getting hypothermic are:

1. Keep dry, spare clothes aboard. They can even be added on top of wet clothing if need be . . .

2. How’d your clothes get wet? Could be from “working the boat” in foul weather or, worse, you fell overboard. The only thing worse than falling overboard is not getting back aboard! More on this below . . .

3. To help yourself immeasurably, always wear your life jacket. Inhaling cold water is a killer and that will be very hard NOT to do if you are under water . . .

4. Stay away from booze, period. Unlike the St. Bernard rescue dog stories, booze doesn’t help you survive hypothermia.

Obviously, the most top-of-mind danger that all mariners face is drowning. We live, work and play in a marine environment — a hostile marine environment, if one is not careful. And, even you are careful, things happen. This column is about that. An Ounce of Prevention . . . is better than a pound of cure, so bear the following in mind. First, we must all be wary of hypothermia. The symptoms to look for in others or yourself are the actions of someone who seems to have been drinking heavily — except they haven’t been. Clumsiness, slurred speech,

He Fell Off The Dock And Never Came Back Up How many stories have you heard of over a lifetime where a seemingly minor event, like falling off a dock due to stumbling and landing in cold water, results in an almost incomprehensible death by drowning? It happens and it shouldn’t. How come the victim couldn’t help themselves? Cold Shock/Gasp Reflex/Dry Drowning Years ago, while training with my son to be part of an USCGAux Cold Water team, we all received a workshop on developing an

PROFESSIONAL WATERPROOFING EXPERTS

understanding of something called “Cold Shock” or the “Gasp Reflex.” Scientists and doctors were just becoming aware of why someone could drown “instantly” upon hitting the water. Basically, in water below 70-degrees F, which we are certainly boating in during the early months of the spring and late months of the fall, a number of nearly instant and deadly things can go wrong, even if you fall just a few inches from the dock to the water: 1. Even with your head above water, a splash of cold water in your face from a boat’s wake as it cruises by you can cause you to involuntarily inhale water, which is a killer. Not swallowing it down your throat into your stomach but inhaling it into your lungs. This is the “gasp reflex.” 2. In some people, the reaction doesn’t get that far into their bodies. They hit the cold water and, as soon as it touches the back of their throat, it closes up. The spasm stops the water from getting into the body, which is the biological intent, but it also stops air from getting to the lungs. The person bobs back to the surface (their lungs are full of air) and they suffocate in the open water, unable to breathe due to a blocked air passageway. This is what is now called “dry drowning.” There is no water in the lungs. Nor is there any oxygen. I’ve seen a BoatUS report that stated that 15 to 20 percent of all drownings are “dry drownings.” 3. When the difference between your body temperature and the

water temperature is greater than 30 degrees, the chance of a heart attack from the sudden immersion goes up dramatically.

4. Even something as simple as a racing heart from shock and fear can create hyperventilating on the part of the victim. Dizziness followed by unconsciousness results as the ratio of oxygen/ carbon dioxide changes in the victim’s blood system.

So, if you survive all this, then you will have to deal with the potential effects of hypothermia. Remember, despite all our advances in science and technology, our bodies can survive only in a pretty narrow range of internal core temperatures. How about those aches and pains you feel in your muscles when you get cold? A drop of only 1.5 degrees from good old’ 98.6 is all it takes. A few more degrees, say five or six, and you’ll stop shivering because now your body can’t shiver anymore — there isn’t enough energy in your body to shiver, much less climb into a boat or onto a dock. Another four or five degrees from there and the heart is now struggling to gather enough energy from your internal core to beat. So, if you fall in, get out!

BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go direct to the D1SR Human Resources department. The folks there are in charge of new members matters at DSO-HR and they will help you “get in this thing…”

School Days // Submitted by Local Schools

Hampton Bays School District Four performing groups from Hampton Bays Middle School won first-place awards in the Music in the Parks competition held in Pennsylvania’s Hershey Park in May.

The winning groups included the school’s seventh-and eighthgrade band, chorus, jazz band, and Harmonizers. In addition, the seventh-and eighth-grade band was awarded a Best Overall Middle School Band trophy, and eighth grader Samantha Coulton took home an award for Best Overall Vocalist for her solo during a performance with the Harmonizers. Each student group performed three songs while competing against nine schools from across the country. This is not the first time that Hampton Bays musicians have earned awards at a Music in the Parks event. Last year, the Harmonizers won a first-place award and the jazz band earned a second-place trophy. This is the first year, however, that all of the school’s performing groups took home firstplace trophies. Riverhead Central School District The Riverhead High School Class of 2018 yearbook was distributed on May 31. The 200-page compilation was the result of hours of work by a 22-member yearbook class taught by Alyssa Bergstrand.

The yearbook also includes a special new addition: a two-page photo spread based on the school district’s new social media campaign, #ThisIsRiverhead. The spread features some of the seniors’ favorite moments from the school year.

Riverhead High School musicians recently performed in front of international audiences at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, FL. As part of the Disney Performing Arts program, members of the high school wind ensemble, chamber choir, chamber orchestra, and jazz ensemble made memories by performing as they experienced the excitement and pride of a Disney tradition. As part of its Parent University series, the Riverhead Central School District hosted an informative “Pathways to Success” night on May 29 at Riverhead High School. During the event, families obtained tips, guidance and key ideas to form a plan for student success. The evening included informative sessions on high school course offerings, career exploration options, counseling and support available to students, and a special presentation for families and students in grades six and up.

Independent/Courtesy Riverhead Central School District Riverhead High School distributed yearbooks to seniors, such as Aleeyah George and Haley Stavracos, on May 31.

It also featured a community book giveaway from the Riverhead High School Parent Teacher Student Organization and Riverhead Central Faculty Association, as well as activities for students in grades K-5 in the areas of STEM, music and the arts, and world languages. The Parent University series aims to connect parents with school and community resources and provide them with helpful information for their children’s academic journey. Riverhead High School’s talented thespians have been recognized with Teeny Award nominations by East End Arts for two productions, The Little Mermaid and Rent. The nominations came after a judging process that included 16 East End high schools. Among the nominations for The Little

Mermaid are Isaac Kulp in the role of Sebastian and Ethan Lucas as Prince Eric for Best Lead Actor; John Yaiullo for Outstanding Performer in a Play or Musical as King Triton; Jason Rios for Outstanding Playbill and Poster Design; Evelyn Kennedy for Technical Recognition; and Lily Kutner, Jessica Murgolo, and Sofia Sabalja-Reid for Outstanding Choreography.

For Rent, Meghan Schlicting was recognized with a nomination for Best Supporting Female in her role as Maureen, while Sabalja-Reid was nominated for Outstanding Performer in a Play or Musical in the role of Dance Captain. The 16th annual Teeny Awards ceremony, complete with a red carpet, took place on June 3 at Longwood High School.

Councilwoman Julie Lofstad said even though the current law would not include Hampton Bays there may be people living in that hamlet who might want to take advantage of a such a program to be able to stay in their homes. The town has to be ready to hire more code enforcement officers to conduct inspections, she added.

Councilman John Bouvier supported the measure, but said the town needs to also to look at the need to provide housing for seasonal workers.

He added that if board members are concerned about code enforcement, they could require that inspections be conducted with each two-year lease and possibly catch problems before they grow too serious.

The board asked Bak and Weir to continue working on the law and agreed to discuss it again at a future work session.

case in East Hampton Town Justice Court could be adjudicated, remains behind bars, with deportation proceedings looming over him.

According to a memo sent to the justice court from the probation department, Jignesh Patel, who had been working as a manager at American Beech Restaurant on Main Street in Greenport before he was remanded May 17, had finally been interviewed by the probation department. “The defendant was remorseful and apologized for being deceitful, and evading both the probation department and the court,” the memo reads. “He reasoned that, due to his illegal immigration status, he feared deportation and wanted to remain in the United States,” the memo continues. “On May 21, an immigration detainer was placed on Mr. Patel,” the memo states.

The memo concludes that, due to the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the probation department hadn’t had time to complete his assessment, which is needed in order for him to enter a guilty plea on a drunken driving charge in East Hampton. He will be brought to East Hampton’s Justice Court on June 14. The court had not received the probation department’s report as of Monday, but it likely will be in hand for Thursday’s date.

RICK’S SPACE

Us Against Them There is a game played out every summer out here, Us against Them. You all know what I mean. Some locals resent the summer visitors and I get that. They clog up the already clogged up roads and all the good restaurants are all booked up on weekend nights. There’s no place to park. A lot of the visitors are short-tempered, bossy, and nasty. They annoy us even more than we annoy each other. On the other hand, our little town wouldn’t survive without their money. The locals take grim satisfaction on holiday weekends when the weather is bad. That’s because we know a lot of people come out for the sun and beaches and have nothing to do when it rains. Let’s face it, if you brave the traffic to come all the way out here and end up eating a soggy hot dog in your dank summer rental, you lost.

The sun finally comes out and you head for the beach. No, there are no parking spaces — you already knew that. You also know at least one of these pushy city Alphas will park without the requisite beach sticker, because they don’t realize how precious these things are. So, you drop a dime on the Land Rover and wait five minutes until the tow truck comes. You pull right in as the tow truck backs out. Here’s one the locals love. Go to Main Street and keep circling until you finally get a parking space. This takes a while because hundreds of people are doing the same thing, circling to find a spot so they can go buy charcoal, coconut suntan lotion, and pink flip flops.

Once you pull in, turn around and drape your arm around the seat and look out the back window. When you see Mr. Alpha in his black Land Rover coming, place the car in reverse. The Alpha will stop to wait for you to pull out. Don’t. Eventually he’ll jump out of the Land Rover, slam the door, storm towards you, and angrily knock on your car window. “Are you pulling out or what?” he yells. “No, I’m not,” you say. Let’s tell it like it is. There are only

Note: Best take a bottle of vodka in with you. I laughed, I cried as I desperately waited for the clock to move. Meanwhile, our friends from the city used their phone apps to buy tickets to all the future Oscar winners that will be playing out here all summer.

Here’s our little revenge: all our stores carry the de rigueur Hamptons summer wear. But not really. None of us would ever get caught wearing any of this stuff,

Terrycloth shirts: my god, man, this isn’t the Yonkers Bath House. Take those things off; it scares the kids.

Flip flops: regular readers know how I feel about these peculiar things, made all the more ridiculous because they are invariably either pink, orange, or lime green. If God wanted two of our toes to do the work of five, he would have made us ducks. What’s that smell? You guessed it — the coconut suntan lotion. Does this concoction prevent sunburn? Of course not. But sharks won’t come within 20 miles of it. And that’s a win-win for all of us.

Mattituck/Southold Grabs Lax Championship By Rick Murphy

The East End isn’t exactly a hotbed of girls lacrosse, but the combined Mattituck/Southold team seems to be catching on nicely, thank you.

In fact, the Lady Tuckers earned a berth in the New York State Class C Final Four last year in only the seventh year of the program, only to lose to Bronxville. This year, the two teams were back again in a realigned tournament that had both teams competing in Class D, and the results were altogether different: the locals turned the tables, surprising Bronxville 12-1 Saturday at SUNY/

Cortland to earn the program’s first ever title.

The locals came out of the gate firing and the onslaught was such that Bronxville, a tournament tested team with an 18-4 win loss record going in, simply buckled. The shots came like automated weapon fire, and six found the net in the first stanza. The Lady Broncos, meanwhile, on their heels, were unable to amount any sort of offensive attack.

Mackenzie Hoeg, the deserving tournament MVP, put up two goals and one assist as did her sister, Riley, who assisted her sister for

one of the goals. Jane DiGregorio had two goals and two assists and Maddie Schmidt (twice), Chelsea Marlborough, and Rachel Janis also scored.

to advance to the final. It took a last second save to secure the game. The Spartans’ Mia Buckingham bore down on the Mattituck goal with seconds remaining.

Alex Talbot repelled all five shots that headed her way as the Lady Tuckers held their opponents to a single goal, a record for the tournament.

Incidentally, Mack Hoeg finished ninth in the county in scoring with 83 points, five more than her sister, who finished 10th.

Mattituck prevailed in the semifinal game a day earlier against South Falls, 7-6. Marlborough had an assist and two goals and Julie Seifert scored twice.

The locals barely got by a strong South Jefferson team a day earlier

Buckingham’s bid was the final piece of a three-pass, 55-yard dash in 15.4 seconds. Buckingham uncorked a low, hard bullet but the Tuckers’ Claudia Hoeg turned it away to preserve the win.

Rowdy Hall in East Hampton, which has been a gathering spot for soccer fans during the past several World Cups, will host a viewing party outside where there is a big screen TV in the courtyard — optimal viewing for large crowds. The restaurant has plans to show the 11 AM and 2 PM games and the 10 AM games starting with the top-16 round. If you are looking for a water view, check out Navy Beach in Montauk where the matches can be viewed on three TVs — two at the bar and one in the dining room. The bar will open early for 10 and 11 AM games and will feature drink specials on mimosas and Bloody Marys.

World Cup Fever Kicks Off By Peggy Spellman Hoey

“Que será será, whatever will be, will be” after the first coin is tossed in the Fédération Internationale de Football Association’s 21st World Cup in Russia on Thursday, June 14. One thing is for sure though; there will be no shortage of venues — from Hampton Bays to Montauk — where soccer fans can follow their favorite teams as they spar over the next month. Most of the games will be broadcast in the U.S. at the 10 and 11 AM, and 2 PM slots. Viewers will have to check schedules ahead of time for viewing compatibility, though, because many of the matches will be shown via satellite TV.

Buckley’s Inn Between in Hampton Bays already has a pretty good

following of soccer fans — mostly Irish, English, and Polish ex-pats who stop by regularly to watch the premier European football leagues. The phone is often known to ring off the hook during these games, as avid fans who don’t have satellite TVs in their homes call in for scores, according to owner Mark Shortall.

Fans can catch the matches on eight televisions in the barroom, and there will be $4 beer specials featuring Modelo Especial throughout the month of June. The restaurant will not be opening up for the earlier matches, so he encouraged fans to call ahead of time. Overall, Shortall is looking forward to this year’s season and expects a large crowd for the match between Germany and Sweden

on Saturday, June 23. The match starts at 2 PM. “As things heat up, I expect it is going to get busy until the final,” he added. Further east, all of the matches will be available for viewing on two TVs at Pierre’s in Bridgehampton, according to owner Pierre Weber.

If you are looking to watch a match while chowing down on some barbecue chicken and ribs, head to Townline BBQ in Sagaponack and catch the games on the six large screen HD TVs. Townline will show all of the 11 AM and 2 PM games, as well as the 10 AM games starting with the round of the top 16. There will be a Stoli Moscow Mule special during the 11 AM and 2 PM games, for those looking for a cure from the night before while they watch the match.

The restaurant will be open for the opening match at 11 AM on Thursday, followed by matches at 11 AM and 2 PM from June 15 to 30. Next month, the bar will screen matches at 10 AM and 2 PM on July 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7, as well as the semi-finals at 2 PM on July 10 and 11, respectively. The third-place playoff will be shown at 10 AM on July 14, and the final at 11 AM on July 15. Springs Tavern will also be showing the matches on multiple TVs throughout the restaurant. Prizes will be given away while the matches are on and there will be $5 Heineken and Heineken Light bottles served. You can also catch the action on five flat screen TVs and order off the bar menu at Indian Wells Tavern in Amagansett.

Indy Fit // Nicole Teitler seasons. I operate there from May to October and move to a Hampton Bays location November to April. Describe what a MicroCurrent lifting facial is.

More Than Skin Deep I have a confession to make. I’ve never had a facial treatment.

As the UV index rises with the summer months, proper skincare is increasingly important, especially for the face. With this in mind, I made my way to Westhampton to meet Blythe Payne, owner of More Than Skin Deep, a spa right on the water off of Dune Road that opened in 2013. As a New York State licensed esthetician, Payne scheduled me for a Microcurrent facial. As I sat on the table, the waves crashing in the background with the electricity pulsing over my pores, it felt part New Age and part science fiction. I found the results to be unique. Immediately following the treatment my face showed sunspots and redness, as though all the flaws had been pulled to the surface. However, the next day my skin was plump and evenly toned, as though it was injected with moisture, and it remained that way for three days. What is your background in skincare? I have been doing holistic skincare since November 2013. I am a Certified Holistic Osmosis Esthetician and also trained on Tama Blue Onyx Microcurrent. How long have you been at your location? When are you open?

Microcurrent is also referred to as facial sculpting treatment. It can lift, sculpt and tighten any part of your face. This procedure is noninvasive. It does not wound or cause trauma to the skin. What are the benefits? It brings a luminous, youthful glow to your skin, no downtime, immediate results, painless and relaxing (most clients often fall asleep during the treatment), increases body’s natural production of collagen, softens the appearance of fine lines, smooths skin texture, increases ATP production up to 500 percent, improves muscle function and balance, increases blood flow and oxygenation bringing nutrition to the skin, increases lymphatic flow, detoxifies cells, increases hydration through increased ATP production, plumps the skin. What makes this unique and why is It important? As we adopt healthy choices by adding exercise to our daily activities, we need to be mindful of the 32 individual muscles in our face. Instead of injecting toxins and chemicals, ask yourself why not exercise those muscles naturally. Microcurrent treatment is completely natural, safe, and

non-invasive, and allows your facial muscles to tone, rejuvenate, heal, and rebuild themselves. It’s a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation.

What is the most common misconception about skincare today?

What services do you recommend most during the summer months?

Assaulting the skin only makes the skin look younger temporarily by plumping it during the inflammatory phase and returning back to its original, or even worse, state.

TAMA Microcurrent is a form of electrical massage that allows your face to attain better health naturally. Microcurrent is effective in reeducating the facial muscles to strengthen, lift, and tone. TAMA’s unique Multi-Mode Waveform stimulation provides simultaneous muscle toning and re-education, thus providing both short and longterm benefits.

All of the services that I offer are not photo sensitizing and are good to do all year long. I recommend the Revitapen Facial for infusing the skin with serums and reducing fine lines and wrinkles and the Tama Microcurrent Lifting Facial for toning and lifting (exercising) the muscles of the face to get a more youthful appearance.

The most common misconception in skincare today is that strong peels, laser, microdermabrasion, and microneedling will increase collagen and make you look younger. The result is that these harsh treatments make the skin go into a wound healing response, which is why the skin needs to produce the collagen to fix the damage that has been created.

I have had the More Than Skin Deep Spa at the Bath & Tennis Resort on Dune Road in Westhampton Beach for two

It is a facial modality that has been used since the 1950s. Microcurrent is a low level of electricity that mirrors the body’s own natural electrical currents. Using Microcurrent enhances the production of natural collagen and elastin, increases ATP production (which is the fuel of your cells), provides circulatory benefits, and assists in product penetration. The result is immediate firming, smoothing, and re-hydration of the skin while greatly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Chip Shots // Bob Bubka So, you can imagine how nervous I was, when leaving my favorite coffee shop on the way to the course, I saw a police car on my tail complete with all the bright, flashing red lights. Briefly, it crossed my mind . . . maybe I wouldn’t make it to Shinnecock after all.

Long Arm Of The Law It’s here. It’s U.S. Open week and I am proudly proclaiming that Shinnecock is the #1 U.S. Open venue in the country. After all, this will be the fifth time Shinnecock has hosted our national championship. It is a complete examination that has a rich history covering the last three centuries. The first playing of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock was in 1896 and there is no truth to the rumors that my friends are putting forth, saying that I must have covered that one. Sorry to disappoint them, but no, I wasn’t there. However, the 2018 U.S. Open does mark the fourth time I have covered it on radio and to say that I am excited would be an understatement. I’m really not sure that there’s any way I could be more excited.

My first instinct was to try and talk my way out of whatever I had done wrong, however, when the officer that approached me was a female, I quickly abandoned that plan. Luckily, I got off with a warning, things got sorted out, and I was free to continue my journey to the media center. So, after waiting for 14 years, I am at the media center and ready to go, a little late, but safe and sound.

I’m happy to report that the course is in the exact condition that the USGA intended. They have some really great state of the art equipment nowadays. A testing device to analyze the moisture in the greens, which will dictate the amount of water that will be applied, and a device that will give a reading of the exact firmness of the putting surface. Until these devices were developed, these two factors were left to educated guesses. But now, precision will take over.

strange as it may seem, among the last three U.S. Opens played here, 1986, 1995, and 2004, the wind was only a factor in the first round of 1986. Playing Shinnecock without wind is like watching a black and white television (for those few who still remember what that was like). So, we’re hoping the wind kicks up this year to bring out the true Shinnecock pedigree.

As I look around the media center, I see many familiar faces from around the world, and I am so proud to be able to show off the East End and the area where I grew up. Shinnecock has an outstanding head professional in Jack Druga. Jack shared a great story with me the other day. A few weeks ago, a gentleman walked into his pro shop and asked Jack if he had time for a game the following day. Imagine this . . . the gentleman Jack was referring to and who had him speechless was none other than Tiger Woods! Sure enough, the next day Jack and Tiger played 36

holes. There’s a reason Tiger has won 14 major championships . . . preparation. The cagey Tiger was doing his best to learn all the tricks of Shinnecock. Let’s hope it works. (Yes, I would like to see him win.) By the way, Jack told me that Tiger played very well.

Another favorite this week would have to be Kevin Kisner . . . why? Well on the bag for Kevin will be East Hampton High Hall of Famer, Duane Bock. Duane has a ton of knowledge regarding Shinnecock and the Kisner game is a nice fit for the course. My pick to win though is Rory McIlroy because his caddie, Harry Diamond, has such a lot of experience as a caddy here at Shinnecock. I’m sure each of you reading Chip Shots has as good a shot of picking the winner as I do. No one ever knows who will play the best and will wear our national crown. The only real difference is you will not get the grief I will get if I am wrong. Welcome to my world . . .

The wind has forever been the one element that allows Shinnecock to shine the brightest and be the complete examination that it is. As

Want a longshot? Try Bryson DeChambeau, the robotic golfer who is coming into his own. Our own Bob Bubka picks a real longshot, Brent Snedeker. Kevin Somers at Maidstone in East Hampton favors Ricky Fowler. Michael Giglio at Poxabogue chose DJ. So, did Lenny Rodriguez over at the Sag Harbor State golf course. Eric Phelan at Indian Island Country Club in Riverhead likes Justin Rose, DJ, and for a longshot, JB Holmes. Wanna bet? Fantasy Golf is the fastest growing element of the booming, multi-billion Fantasy Sports boom. Draft Kings has a $3.5 million tournament up for the U.S. Open with a cool $1 million going to the winner. And it’s only $20 to play. Make sure to read Bubka’s Chip Shots in today’s sports section. Bubka made history when he went on the radio and predicted Lucas Glover would win the 2009 Open, which was played at Bethpage. A famous British bookie, Paddy Power, complained that Bubka’s prediction cost him $1.3 million.

As for this reporter, in addition to Rory and DJ, Hideki Matsuyama is finally healthy and should be competitive. We like Bryson DeChambeau’s recent form. Tommy Fleetwood is a longshot with a real chance.

Fluke On The Outgoing Tide Shinnecock Bay/ Inlet/ Ocean The fluke bite continues to be best on outgoing tide in the western parts of the bay. I have had some positive reports from the incoming as of late but not many. A few fluke being pulled from drifted baits in the inlet. The ocean fluke bite has not turned on yet but the squid are there and the commercial boats say the fluke are there too, just not chewing yet. A few fish were caught over the weekend but nothing much to report. The bluefish are still around chasing bait and some cocktail blues are in the mix. Striped bass bite at the Ponquogue Bridge has started for the clam chummers. Fish to 36 inches have been reported. No reports from the bunkers schools outside the inlet. Peconics The porgies are at the regular spots: Rogers, Jessup, the lawns.

Taking squid, clam, and worms. A few fluke further east near North Haven. Weakfish are in the deep holes in Noyack Bay taking squid. Blues are chasing bunker and bass are taking live baits in the dark along with trolled lures. Shorebound The Shinnecock canal is still producing fluke but not many keepers. The cocktail blues have been here and some keeper bass in the dark. The northern end has the porgies. The Shinnecock inlet has seen a few fluke during the day along with blues most afternoons and bass on bucktails in the dark.

The back bay areas of both Shinnecock and Peconic are still holding bass and blues. The ocean beaches are seeing a few blues and bass both east and west of the inlet. Capt. Scott Jeffrey
