A Cold Badge Of Courage, And Care

By Kitty Merrill

Independent/ Christine John

The Polar Bear Plunge at Cooper’s Beach last Saturday was an especially chilly one. ON THE COVER: The scene in East Hampton during a prior plunge.

1) Furnace Cleaning and Tune Up 2) Fuel Deliveries Scheduled 3) Temperature Monitoring System Installed

Most people think they’re crazy.

But Polar Bear plungers might say they’re just crazy about helping those less fortunate. Then again, after the initial dip in the icy Atlantic, they might agree with the first assessment. Either way, diving into the frosty waves or just dipping a bluish toe in the sea has become an activity enjoyed -- or endured -- across the globe.

The oldest winter bathing organization in the United States, the Coney Island Polar Bear Club was founded in 1903 by Bernarr Macfadden. He’s hardly a household name now, but back then the fitness enthusiast was known as “The

Furnace failures. Frozen pipes. Unexpectedly running out of fuel oil or propane. Winter can bring quite a few frustrations! But if you call Quogue Sinclair now, you’ll have none of these when winter’s chill sets in.

Quogue Sinclair is the leading supplier of high quality heating fuel. . .both oil and propane. . .on Eastern Long Island with two fuel storage facilities. Since 1954, we’ve been helping our neighbors keep their heating systems running efficiently and dependably. For emergencies, we offer 24-hour repair service. And our Shield Security division can install a free basic Temperature Monitoring System in your home that will warn us should your heating system fail. . .putting your home at risk.

Father of Physical Culture.” To this day, Coney Island Polar Bears swim in the Atlantic every Sunday from November to April.

They do it for fun, a sense of bravura, to stay fit or prove a point.

On New Year’s Day, the Coney Island Polar Bears are joined by thousands of others who take the plunge for charity.

Over the years charity plunges have become so popular the famed annual Plungapalooza in Maryland boasts close to 20,000 participants and has raised millions for the Special Olympics.

East Enders with a yen towards “freezin’ for a reason” have several opportunities each year to earn a cold badge of courage. Last Saturday over 300 plungers braved a snowy morning in Southampton Village to take a dip during Human Resources of the Hamptons’ tenth annual Polar Bear Plunge at Cooper’s Beach.

With the air temperature well below 30 degrees, and the water temp topping 40, a crowd of close to 500 gathered to cheer on the brave bathers and check out the array of costumes participants, like Southampton Village Mayor Mark Epley, craft to add to the jovial atmosphere. This year the mayor came as Fred Flintstone, while others showed up in full drag, with a mermaid theme. A Viking, a Pilgrim and a knight were on hand, as was Santa and a roly-poly Polar Bear. The event reportedly brought in $70,000 for HRH. In East Hampton, the annual New Year’s Day plunge at Main Beach has Continued on Page 30.

For me it’s the best day of the year. It’s about food and family. The cooking started with my grandmother, then my mother, and now it’s my job. I cook until I’m ready to drop. But at one point of the evening I stop and think of what it was like when I was a kid. I reprint this column every year. It must be due to my advanced age because every time I read this column I find myself tearing up. It was such a wonderful time. I will never forget . . .

CHRISTMAS EVE IN BROOKLYN It wasn’t about Christmas Day for us. Christmas Day was about turkeys and hams and cranberry sauce. That wasn’t our food.

The holiday ads of the time showed illustrations of waspylooking, Norman Rockwell types bowing their blond heads in prayer before they chowed down the traditional Christmas Day fare. This wasn’t us.

It’s not that we had anything against this. It’s just that our parents and grandparents were still desperately holding on to Italy and the Italian customs they brought to this country. We knew we had little in common with the people who

owned this country, but Christmas was the one holiday equalizer. It was something we all shared. We just chose to celebrate the birth of Christ the night before Christmas instead of on the day itself.

So my memories are Christmas Eve reminiscences, and they’re sweet and pleasant to recall.

I remember my grandmother starting to prepare the Christmas Eve dinner in early October by pickling cauliflower and onions and peppers and anchovies . . .

The sweet smell of chestnuts as they burned until they were inedible (we forgot them in the oven every year) . . .

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

My mom haggling with the man who sold Christmas trees on Avenue U . . . She would buy the tree on the night of December 24.

She always wanted to pay 50 cents.

He would always hold out for a dollar. “You won’t be able to sell it in a few hours,” she would taunt.

“I’d rather burn them,” he would reply. Every year they would settle at 75 cents . . .

I remember eels being cut up in little pieces, dipped in egg, and dredged in flour. Then, after they were tossed into a skillet in hot oil, the pieces would start to wiggle. It was right out of a horror movie. It made me wonder about life after death . . .

I remember how I would sneak into our tiny kitchen and sweettalk my grandmother into giving me a taste of the mountain of food she had cooked for our family.

The meal started with pinkiesized, crisp little nameless fish that were fried and were to be eaten whole. Then came the polpo (octopus), which was cooked in a garlicky tomato broth. There was a rich, briny, clam sauce waiting to be tossed with linguini; shrimps baked, fried, breaded; baccala (cod), which had been bought dry and soaked for days, now rested in a platter, smothered with fried onions and capers. A fish salad with every delicious fish in the sea, swimming in garlic and lemon and olive oil. Today, so many, many years later, I marvel that the memory can still make my mouth water . . .

All of our Christmas Eve meals started at 7 PM when my father came home from work. At 11 PM – four hours of solid eating later – it was time for dessert. There was fresh fruit for the faint of heart, but the diehards would dive into the white cardboard boxes that were filled with dozens of Italian pastries with wonderful names like cannoli, pasticciotto, sfogliatella.

We wouldn’t stop eating until the boxes were empty. Each morsel, every crumb, was a way of holding on to the holiday for a few minutes more . . .

I remember one year my grandfather, perhaps a little tipsy from the combination of food and drink, helped me to set aside a glass of red wine for Santa. It was empty when I woke up the next day . . .

We were pretty broke, but somehow Santa managed to bring me everything I ever wanted. The best present I ever got was a new Schwinn bicycle. It shows you what a trip to Beneficial Finance could do to make the spirits bright . . .

I took a chilly subway train ride with my dad one Christmas Eve

IN THE NEWS

in search of phonograph needles so we could play an old-fashioned phonograph and listen to some ancient Italian records. We found the needles in a little shop near Coney Island. When we rushed home and tried to play the records, we discovered that the phonograph motor was worn down and Enrico Caruso sounded like he was on Quaaludes. Not that anyone ever heard of Quaaludes in those days.

The only drugs we knew were called Luckys and Camels and Chesterfields . . .

When I was 16, my parents bought me a 45 rpm record player and gave it to me on Christmas Eve. That night, I had just one 45 record (Doris Day singing “Secret Love”). I listened to the same song over and over and over and fell in love with the blond, freckled singer.

I still can’t hear that song without thinking of that night . . .

Then there was the Christmas Eve night that Manlio “Junior” Fossatti (age 11) decided to tell me (age nine) that there wasn’t any Santa Claus. He told me while we waited in the 86th Street station of the Sea Beach line for our fathers to come home from work. While he was at it, he also told me about sex. You lose one, you win one, I always say . . .

The Christmas tree ornaments were mostly handmade and had been around since the 1920s. My favorite was a little porcelain Betty Boop character. I realize now it was as close to a family heirloom as we got . . .

Every Christmas Eve at midnight, Mrs. Calabrese from across the street (I was born on the secondfloor apartment of her house – she was the midwife) would bring us a platter filled with hot zeppoli, which was simply fried puffs of dough covered with honey. My brother Joe and I would burn our fingers and tongues racing to be sure to get the last piece . . .

The night before Christmas on West 7th Street in Brooklyn was always the best night of the year.

The food was so delicious – it will always exist in our memories. It was a time when the language spoken was Italian with just enough English thrown in to remind us where we lived. It was a time when young couples walked past our windows as they went to midnight Mass at St. Simon and Jude Church or Our Lady of Grace Church. It was a time when life was easy . . .

The night before Christmas on West 7th Street in Brooklyn. It’s with me at this time every year.

‘Substantial’ Code Fines This Year

By Kitty Merrill

He stopped short of calling the amount unprecedented. But last week Pat Gunn, the Public Safety Division Administrator allowed that this year East Hampton Town has collected a “substantial” amount of fines – over $300,000 -- levied in justice court against town code violators.

“I am not comfortable with saying “unprecedented” although I believe it likely true, simply because there has not been accurate and readily available record keeping prior to now. What I am comfortable saying is that the numbers are substantial, and clearly indicate significant activity and success

by the Ordinance Enforcement Department,” Gunn stated during an interview this week.

“The justice court calendar is filled each Monday with the work product of the hard working men and women of the Ordinance Enforcement Department,” he continued. “The fines resulting from those investigative efforts can also be credited to Joseph Prokop Esq., who has done a fantastic job in court as the Town Attorney’s designated prosecutor who navigates those cases through the justice system.

He has become a trusted, reliable and competent partner with myself and the Ordinance Enforcement Department. The efforts of the

judges and court staff can’t be discounted either in the process. It is truly a cooperative effort.”

According to Gunn, the record “undeniably shows that good work is being done and improvement has been made over the last few years.”

However, he added, “I am the first to acknowledge that there is more work to be done and there is duty and need to keep improving and moving forward.”

The “substantial” figure comes on the heels of last year’s recordsetting $100,000 fine levied against the Surf Lodge.

So far this year the Ordinance Enforcement Department has opened almost 1200 cases (1197).

Just over 400 of them relate to zoning violations with another 113 housing violations in the hopper. Of the housing investigations, 47 cases were opened in Springs, 46 in East Hampton, 13 in Montauk and seven in Amagansett. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Michael Hill, a student at Springs School and Project MOST has been invited by East Hampton Village Mayor Paul Rickenbach to serve as “Mayor for the Day.” He’ll take the gavel at the village board meeting on Friday.

A Knobel Appointment One time town councilman, town trustee, and party leader Tom Knobel has been elected to serve as chair of the East Hampton Town Republican Committee again. He replaces Kurt Kappel. According to a release announcing the change, at the vote on December 11, Kappel was commended for his work heading the committee by members .

CR 39 Update May Call On Back Roads

By Emily Toy

Last week Southampton Town officials met with the town board to provide an update on the future of County Road 39, and in some cases, the back roads surrounding it.

“The mission is for people to travel safely and efficiently across

town in a well maintained and amply landscaped environment,” said Town Planning and Development Administrator Kyle Collins at Thursday morning’s work session.

Having cross access lanes located behind properties on CR 39 to improve circulation was deemed

necessary to maintain the health and efficiency of the busy corridor.

That means, back roads like Magee Street, Tuckahoe Road, Tuckahoe Lane and North Sea Road may be seeing some rezoning changes to provide that access.

“This corridor is the entrance to the East End and Southampton Town,” Collins said. “These gateway treatments would maintain and enhance the community character.”

Setting up the “back roads” for cross access lanes would cause fewer cars to be on the road (according to Tom Neely, Director of Public Transportation and Traffic Safety, CR 39 sees about 41,000 cars a day) and/or could funnel traffic to side roads so cars may not even have to see CR 39.

Rezoning some areas on back roads before the highway so buffers could be set up and parking may be changed, would be helpful in reconfiguring a traffic pattern to avoid the main highway.

Collins noted the need to facilitate movement, while at the same time enhancing safety, limiting high trip generating uses and consolidating and improving curb cuts. The need to accommodate pedestrians and transit riders was also mentioned.

Collins, along with Principal Planner Amy Pfieffer, Neely, and Janice Scherer, of the Sustainability Committee, presented some recommendations to preserve the town’s free open space located near CR 39, minimize environmental impacts, and maintain agricultural land and uses.

Those recommendations included maintaining the highway business zone as the dominant commercial zone, improving building placement and building design, and provide other design guidelines that are broad, but at the same time encourage creativity.

“Each part [of CR 39] is different,” Neely said. “We need flexibility within the plan for existing conditions. But the objective really is to try to get that cross access.”

Beach Renourishment Hopes For Quogue

By Emily Toy

An initiative to replenish a 2.7mile beach in the Village of Quogue, following suit with other more eastern beach communities within Southampton Town over the past year, is under consideration in the hamlet.

According to Save the Dunes and Beaches Foundation coordinator Danny Frank, replenishing the Quogue Village beach and duneline would cost an estimated $14.1 million. So far, SDBF, a non-profit organization comprised of mostly residents, has contributed over $100,000 for in-depth studies of the best approach to rehabilitate the 2.7mile stretch of village beach. researchers determined Quogue is losing 60,000 cubic yards of sand per year (about 200 tons per day).

SDBF concluded the best option for Quogue Village is a “soft solution,” in other words replenishing beaches and dunes with sand. The project would entail placing 1.1 million cubic yards of sand along the 14,325 lineal feet of Quogue oceanfront beaches. According to an analysis of the area done by the environmental and marine construction firm First Coastal, such efforts would maintain

a healthy beach for over 10 years.

Upon completion of the project, the beach is expected to be indistinguishable from a natural beach, but average about 75 feet wider and offer more protection to property, First Coastal’s study predicts.

In the cases of the Sagaponack and Bridgehampton Erosion Control Districts, private residents with oceanfront properties footed the majority of the $24 million bill to renourish the beach in their areas. That may not be the case in Quogue.

“There has been no determination made by the Village of Quogue on how this project will be financed,” Frank said. “Most

likely the Village of Quogue will consider this matter after the New York State DEC [Department of Environmental Conservation]

RICK’S SPACE Hitting The Books

I got a kick watching all those demonstrators complain about the Common Core curriculum after students performed poorly on the standardized tests.

Teachers aren’t the only ones complaining – parents and students are also up in arms. It made me think back to my days at St. Augustine Diocesan High School in Brooklyn, the scholarship school in Brooklyn for “gifted” young men like myself.

Yes, we were a special breed.

So special we were given the opportunity to congregate every morning at 7:40 in a freezing old building with 1000 other male students where a contingent of Christian Brothers, hell bent on our redemption and/or destruction, would pour knowledge into us for the next nine hours, save 20 lousy minutes for lunch. The mandate was very simple: learn or else.

I was all of 13 in the ninth grade, having, by some oddity in the Catholic School evaluation process, skipped second grade when I was six.

Jesus, remarkably, found his way into every textbook, regardless of how obscure the reference. In English grammar, for example, the

sentence would be “Jesus died for your sins.” We would then identify the subject, verb, object, etc. In Geography class we all thought Bethlehem was the capitol of the world. Even our French dialogue was peppered with references to Jesus, even though we knew those godless heathens in Paris had no god (and, the men held their cigarettes like girls).

We used to wear earphones in French class, efficiently run by the cruel Frere Raimond – yes, we had to call Brother Ray that at all times, even on the streets.

“Où est la bibliothèque?” a voice in the earphones would ask. We would then answer. Being from Brooklyn, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to answer something vulgar, like “If it were up your arse you’d know it!” Unbeknownst to us, Frere could hear our answers.

Once he came storming down the aisle, pulled me out of the chair (backwards, no less) and knocked me to the floor. “Where did you say the library was, Murphy? WHERE?” He was screaming and frothing at the mouth. I became unnerved – perhaps the frothing did me in. “In

Bethlehem with Jesus?” I answered meekly. That produced another flurry of smacks from Ray. (We soon started derisively referring to him as “Fra” after one of the guys told us the was the feminine translation.)

After about three months of daily abuse from Fra we were all in the lunchroom one day. The line stretched for 30 yards. Since we only had 20 minutes, it was crucial to get to the lunchroom early. Once one of my classmates, Raffienello, was on the line.

None of us referred to each other by our first names. If we did use a full name, our mother’s name was substituted. In other words, I was Eleanor Murphy, My pal John Grogan was Rosy Grogan, and so on. This is what happens when 1000 guys hitting puberty are locked up together all day.

Anyhow, Fra grabbed Raffienello when he was on the verge of getting his hamburgers, accused him of cutting the line, and sent him to the back. Raffienello, starving, realized he would get shut out of lunch altogether. When Fra pushed him a second time, Barbara-Ann Raffienello delivered a straight right to Fra’s exposed jaw. He went down like an anchor.

There was silence in the cavernous room for a few seconds, and then the crowd erupted with applause.

Fra lay motionless as we all

continued eating. When I was going back upstairs to my next class I looked down at the empty lunchroom. Fra was still there. “He’s with Jesus now,” one wiseacre said.

It all got me thinking about the pressure on us to succeed. We were told on our first day of school that every one of us were expected to attend and graduate from a fouryear college.

If I got less than a 90 on any subject, I’d be grounded by my parents and my allowance taken away.

When you put a bunch of guys together the competitive edge sharpens. Whether it was boxing in the gym, running track, or playing football in the concrete “schoolyard,” none of us gave any quarter or expected any. You fought for every ounce of respect – and that included scholastics.

If I’m a student and I don’t measure up, I need to face up to the sad fact that either I’m dumber than the other big lugs in my class or they are studying harder than me.

You see, back in my day studying was the easier option – the other was to have some sadist like Fra (or my mother!) get all up in your face – frothing in French, no less.

Like I said, most of us went to college, a lot to Catholic schools. My pal Tommy Raffienello didn’t – he was, predictably, expelled. He got drafted, and he got killed in Nam.

EDITORIAL The Deer Facts An ambitious proposal developed by the Long Island Farm Bureau and the U.S. Department of Agriculture has its share of supporters, but opposition is mounting as details emerge.

Even those opposed to hunting reluctantly admit the oversaturation of deer on the East End is a problem that is severe and worsening. Most public officials, dealing with the carnage wrought by deer-vehicle collisions, have been hesitant to come out against the controlled hunt that would kill about 3000 deer during a 40-day period this winter.

In addition to the nuisance of seeing expensive plantings disappear overnight – deer routinely feast in backyards and residential areas – is the more serious problem of tick-related diseases, and the role deer fill as carriers.

Blaming Lyme disease on the deer herd is a bit silly – our dogs are just as likely to carry ticks around, as are mice, humans, and so many other living creatures. Ticks aren’t fussy – they’ll hop any ride they can find.

Supporters say the hunt will culminate with a well-placed bullet to the head so the deer won’t “suffer.” Forgive us if that sounds like a contradiction of terms.

We question the motives of the Long Island Farm Bureau. In the wake of 9-11, when the process for issuing immigration visas was tightened considerably, the LIFB protested loudly. After all, immigrant farm workers who earn minimum wages are the labor pool of choice for most commercial farms.

The LIFB is a legitimate pressure group, but its goals shouldn’t necessarily dictate how our municipalities choose to address the deer management issue. Joe Gergela, the LIFB director, is talking about the hunt as if it is a fait accompli, and he’s a little too pleased about it for our taste.

With the exception of Shelter Island, we can’t think of one East End town that

Giving Credit To the Editor, The very charming and funny “Italian Christmas Disaster” reprinted in Mr. Della Femina’s column this week seems to have been written by Bill Ervolino.

Responsible Zoning Dear Rick, Your sidebar article last week about my involvement with the proposed “555 Montauk Highway” rezonings may have created some confusion about what I did or did not do and why.

First, if Wilkinson, Quigley, and Stanzione only wanted to give the applicants a fair

implemented a deer management plan, ever. Had we tried some trial sterilization programs 10 years ago, for example, we might have answers that would provide alternate means to slaughtering these animals.

East Hampton has been wrestling with the matter for several years now and has finally adopted a deer management plan.

The truth is, the deer will re-populate quickly, and the shoot will prove unproductive, unless we sign up to do it every year.

Gergela fired the first salvo, and he had his guns all lined up – figuratively and literally – for his mission. Now, though, the public is chiming in. Thousands of locals have signed a petition to stop the shoot, and the last time we looked, local officials were elected to serve the people, not the Long Island Farm Bureau.

We urge all local municipalities to refrain from giving access to the hunters unless we get a lot more answers, and until we thoroughly (and finally) seriously consider alternatives.

Incidentally, a state proposal to allow bow and arrow hunters to within 150-feet of private property is sheer lunacy. Tell your elected officials as much.

The number one cause of deer/vehicle collisions is the drivers who simply refuse to understand the situation out here. SLOW DOWN! Meanwhile, let’s hear more from the Humane Society, and let’s start investing time and money in humane methods to tackle the overpopulation problem.

The Independent opposes this worrisome proposal that would allow scores of gun-wielding hunters, many from up island, into our town and villages with a carte blanche to shoot and kill defenseless animals.

Rationalize it any way you wish – but it is morally and ethically wrong, and it’s the coward’s way out.

hearing and receive public input, they made a mistake doing it through the mechanism of a legally formal public hearing on proposed changes to our zoning code. It would have been better to have advanced discussions through the more neutral forum of a “business zoning summit” (which should include the issue of work force and affordable housing). Then the 555 and the other proposed rezonings could serve as examples to motivate discussion.

Since there was the possibility of calling for a vote to adopt the two 555 rezoning proposals after the formal public

hearing on December 19, I, and others, felt compelled to work to neutralize that possibility. However, I decided not to align with any group because I had differing views of what tactics to use.

My view was that the best way to neutralize a possible town board vote was to convince the County Planning Commission to disapprove of the project in its then current form. As I told another newspaper “I worked out of the public eye as I was not interested in any political aspect of it - I was only interested in good

planning and responsible development.”

The 555 project does raise issues that need discussion. For example, the westernmost of the three parcels is zoned differently from the two larger and residentially zoned lots to the east. On the two eastern parcels, current zoning requires 70 percent of the land be reserved for agriculture. That is not the case on the western parcel.

The western lot has a Shell gas station on one side and the IGA business complex on the other. The Comprehensive Plan called for removing the Central Business zoning but also said that a “Commercial Needs Study and Consensus” needed to be done to best determine what should happen on this parcel. The Comprehensive Plan mentions the possibility of returning this 4.6 acre parcel to Central Business zoning to allow more commercial use than the 2,000 square feet of Limited Business that would currently be allowed (the Comprehensive Plan incorrectly evaluated it as a six acre parcel).

This parcel also allows alternate zoning for a much-needed large scale affordable housing development. Maybe for this parcel a project comprising a modest commercial development with affordable apartments above and to the rear is worth evaluating?

Thanks And Appreciation Dear Editor, May I add my thanks and appreciation to the current Town Board, Bill Wilkinson, Theresa Quigley and Dominick Stanzione, and Len Bernard as Budget Officer, for the fine job they have done in the last few years, righting the capsizing financial ship of East Hampton.

Balancing the budget, holding the line and eliminating redundancy in staffing has saved the Town from bankruptcy caused by the overspending habits of the Democrats previously in charge.

Meanwhile, the incoming Town Board are complaining they don’t get to use funds for more staffing, even for an unnecessary engineer, when we have one, and the intended project doesn’t even need an engineer, shows me they are ready to expand the town government again and may not even be really investigating an issue before planning to hire another consultant.

Brother Act Southampton Town Police killed two birds with one stone – they arrested a man they claimed had a long history of driving with a suspended license – and then they arrested his brother who came to the police station to get him.

Henry Tigre aka Inga Henry, 29, was pulled over on Sunrise Highway last Wednesday. Police said his license had been suspended 26 times and he was hit with a felony count of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation First Degree.

His brother, identified as Inga Edgar, 27, responded to the station house to inquire about his brother.

Trouble was, police said his license had been suspended in 2011 on an alcohol related charge. He was charged with Aggravated Unlicensed Second.

increase in gun-related robberies on the East End. Last Wednesday Riverhead Police said a male victim told them he had been approached by a gun-wielding man, another man and a woman, near Delores Avenue.

An extensive search that afternoon yielded the desired result: Julian R. Williams, 18, was found nearby and charged with First Degree Robbery. The town’s K-9 unit located the weapon allegedly used a short time later.

The next day Southampton Police responded to another gunrelated call. A caller complained a man had pointed a gun at him and threatened to fire. Police responded to a Location on Montauk Highway in Westhampton and arrested Gabriel Costello, 28. He was charged with, among other things, menacing in the 2nd Degree. Police recovered a revolver that was a pellet gun.

What Not To Do On A Job Interview Last Wednesday night around 11 a man walked into the East Hampton Grill on North Main Street looking for a job. It didn’t go well – the manager said the man was intoxicated, and that

he became belligerent. Police were called when he refused to leave. They convinced him to do so – but they decided to keep the whip he was carrying for safe keeping.

“We’ll call if something opens up,” the manager told him – naw, we made that part up (but not the part about the whip).

Senior Overlay Okay, 555 No Way

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

They’re amenable to the idea of studying senior needs, but last week members of the East Hampton Town Planning Board were unanimously in opposition to the creation of a Senior Housing Overlay District as currently proposed by the town board.

Tomorrow night the town board will hold a public hearing on a controversial plan to create a senior citizen overlay zoning designation.

Controversy about the notion was

sparked when members of the board’s Republican majority voted to host the hearing on the zone creation, then hold another hearing on conveying the designation to the Amagansett project known as 555 the same night. Since tomorrow night is the outgoing administration’s last meeting, there was suspicion the majority would also vote to move the measures forward at the eleventh hour.

The Suffolk County Planning Commission threw a spanner in the

works with a vote against the 555 zone change request. By law, only a supermajority of the town board, that’s four members, could overturn the planning commission vote, and the votes aren’t there.

As of press time, it was unclear whether the hearing for the 555 zone change request would be held anyway. During the planning board’s December 11 meeting, board chair Reed Jones reported that he’d learned earlier that afternoon that the application to construct a luxury senior housing complex had been withdrawn. Members were still called upon to weigh in on the creation of the zoning district.

IN THE NEWS

Overall, members felt it’s time for the town to undertake research into the needs of senior citizens.

However, they didn’t favor the proposed legislation as written. In specific, members were concerned about decreased setbacks and increased density to as many as 100 units, the draft legislation enunciates. A density cap of 100 units “scares me,” Jones allowed, noting it runs counter to the town’s Comprehensive Plan. Summarizing the group sentiment, Jones noted planners were not opposed to the zoning overlay; they were opposed to the particular overlay legislation as written.

Tomorrow night the town board will also be hosting hearings on two more zone change requests. The planning board was asked to offer input on those as well.

A request has been made to upzone the Balasses House property on Amagansett Main Street from limited business overlay to central business found no supporters among the seven-member body.

Diana Weir offered an observation others embraced. She feared making the change could create a “domino effect.” Because the property borders residentially zoned parcels, members felt the border between residential and commercial zones should be maintained.

Another request, to downzone land on Cedar Street in East Hampton, from five acre residential to one acre residential and include the removal of an agricultural overlay, prompted more extensive discussion. Board member Ian Calder-Piedmonte offered an overview of the application, noting it was “pretty complex,” but boils down to the property owner feeling the land was unfairly upzoned during the last spate of townwide rezonings.

The argument was made that a misclassification of the prime soils on the property occurred.

However, Calder-Piedmonte noted that the soils on the applicant’s land are the same as those on farmland in Wainscott. If there was a misclassification on Cedar Street, then one would have to say the same occurred in Wainscott and “The implication to farming would be huge,“ Calder-Piedmonte reasoned.

Although the board was tasked with discussing the original downzone request, planning board attorney Kathryn Santiago advised that the applicant had recently revised the request from one acre to three acre zoning. Planners looked more favorably on that notion, with the majority positively disposed toward a change to A3, and keeping the ag-overlay. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Plunge

Continued from page 4. become an eagerly anticipated and well-attended event. John Ryan, Jr. recently composed a history of the plunge, which celebrates its lucky 13th anniversary this year.

Nearly 13 years ago on January 1, 2001, the East Hampton Hurricane Swim Team started the East Hampton Hurricane Polar Bear Plunge with a challenge from the swimmers to the swim coach, Tom Cohill, Ryan explained. That first day of the year, at 1 PM at Indian Wells Beach, there were only a few dozen swimmers, coaches, family members, and friends to take on the challenge of jumping into the brisk 48-degree water.

The following year the population grew by word of mouth and parents of the swimmers brought down refreshments to warm the plungers.

“Ever y year the number of plungers and onlookers grew, as did the assortment of food/ refreshment provided by parents,” Ryan continued. “In fact, one year the parents had a chowder cook off contest. Another year Rich Kalbacher resurrected a hot tub and transported it to the beach for plungers after the brisk dip.”

Independent / Christine John

Playful costumes are part of the frigid fun at Cooper’s Beach. At right, Village Mayor Mark Epley channels his inner caveman.

In 2005, with the numbers topping 250, the Hurricane Swim Team reached out to East Hampton Volunteer Ocean Rescue for help in running the event and water protection. The event continued to be successful and in 2008 the Swim Team and Ocean Rescue made the event a food drive for the East Hampton Food Pantry. Over 400 people filled the back of two trucks with nonperishable goods for the food pantry, Ryan recalled.

In 2010 the East Hampton Polar Bear Plunge was moved to Main Beach. The beach pavilion and parking were better suited for the growing number of plungers and onlookers, Ryan said. “Each year it is amazing to see the evolution of this

event from just a simple challenge,” he concluded.

A logo contest became part of the event, with local school kids in grades eight through 12 given a chance to conceive a design that will be used on the hats participants receive when they register. This year eighth grader Charly DiTuillo from East Hampton Middle School was the contest winner.

The plunge will be held at 1 PM sharp, with registration beginning at 11 AM. All dippers must be registered by 12:30 PM, and the minimum cost is $30. Prizes will be given for best costumes and a

survivors’ celebration will be held after the plunge. More information may be found on the plunge’s Facebook page: 13th Annual East Hampton Polar Bear Plunge.

Another plunge will be held earlier on New Year’s Day. Gurney’s Inn in Montauk invites hardy types to take a dip at 11 AM. Meet in the spa lobby at 10:30 AM and bring a $10 donation for the victims of the typhoon in the Philippines. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Mourning Paul Walker Dear Editor, PETA joins fans of The Fast and the Furious franchise in mourning the tragic death of Paul Walker. Many know him as a self-proclaimed “gear-head” and fearless actor, but PETA knows him as a man who loved his dogs and quietly promoted respect for all animals.

Mr. Walker’s first passion was not acting, but marine biology. When he ran out of money for his degree, he turned to acting as a way to fund his education and was involved in two documentaries on sharks for the National Geographic channel. In 2006, he joined the board of a foundation dedicated to protecting fish species who are in danger from overfishing.

His fascination with wildlife didn’t stop in our oceans’ waters. In a 2011 interview, Mr. Walker shared his changing views on hunting. “I used to be a really big hunter,” he said. “What I’ve found as I’ve gotten older is I enjoy taking photos of the wildlife more. I can pull the trigger one hundred, two hundred, three hundred times and I can come back and see that animal the next day.”

His compassion also extended to birds, and he became an avid bird watcher who dabbled in botany.

Dear Editor, Obama and Kerry continue to promote an agenda of U.S. appeasement.

Kerry has played a leading role in formulating and implementing an agreement with Iran to temporarily put a limit on Iran’s uranium enrichment program for six months. Iran can continue enriching uranium to 5 percent. In return Iran gets access to $7 billion in frozen funds, and more important, is able to get partial relief from the crippling burden of the economic sanctions.

Although inspectors will be monitoring the temporary agreement, Iran will probably continue a higher grade uranium enrichment program in secret facilities.

As the end of the agreement approaches it can stall and hinder negotiations and ask for the continuation of six-month temporary agreements until it has the nuclear weapons. Iran cannot be trusted.

While Kerry is appeasing the Iranians, Obama is busy appeasing China’s power play in the East China Sea. China has declared an air defense zone and wants aircraft to notify China if aircraft enter the international air space. Japan has refused to comply with the demand, but the Obama administration has asked U.S. commercial airlines to make the notifications.

The Obama administration continues to weaken our stature in the world through unbridled appeasement.

When Tyler was taken out, he was wonderful.

He loves meeting other dogs and introduces himself with a play bow. He walks well on a leash and periodically glances up to make sure you are still by his side. Tyler is about 40 pounds and is learning basic commands quickly. He is available as a free adoption until

Giants Mess Is Fixable The Giants are three days removed from their first regular season home shutout loss in over 18 years. Also, Sunday’s beat down by the Seahawks made it official: Big Blue would finish with a losing record for the first time since 2004.

Considering the team came into the season with a “Super Bowl countdown clock” in the locker room, the entire season has been a big slice of humble pie.

There are certainly changes the Giants need to make this offseason, but also critical moves that shouldn’t be made as an overreaction to a bad season. Despite being 5-9, New York isn’t as far away from returning to their winning ways as many may believe.

The good news for Giants fans, they are still set at the most important position in the game. Yes,

Eli Manning threw five interceptions on Sunday, and now has 25 on the season, but he is still a top quarterback that can help a team win a Super Bowl.

Manning threw 25 interceptions in 2010, the following year he won his second Super Bowl ring. Enough said.

Staying with the offense, the Giants desperately need help at running back. Spending another year relying on David Wilson and Andre Brown is not acceptable.

Wilson is out for the year with a neck injury, and hasn’t lived up to being first round draft pick. Andre Brown has been injured in each of the past two seasons playing for New York.

In a perfect world, the two create the “thunder and lightning” effect the Giants had with Brandon Jacobs

and Ahmad Bradshaw. But, neither has been able to remain healthy and reliable, and the Giants can’t go into next season with the same plan. Houston Texans running back Ben Tate will be a free agent, and New York should be interested. Tate is 25 years old, and has averaged over four yards per carry each of his three seasons in Houston.

Also, the offensive line could use an addition through free agency or the draft. Will Beatty’s five year/$38.75 million contract looks worse each week. Free agent options include Chief’s guard Jon Asamoah, and top draft picks could be Texas A&M’s Jake Matthews and Alabama’s Cyrus Kouandjio.

On the outside, the Giants must avoid re-signing Hakeem Nicks.

There are too many other positions where general manager Jerry Reese needs to spend big bucks. Rueben Randle can slide into Nicks’ role, and a third wide out can be found in the draft.

Defensively, holes include linebacker and the secondary. If they choose to not go offensive lineman in the first round, top linebackers include Alabama’s C.J. Mosley, Buffalo’s Khalil Mack, or UCLA outside linebacker Anthony

Barr. Also, the Giants need help in the secondary. Seahawks’ lessheralded cornerback (compared to Richard Sherman) Brandon Browner will be a free agent, along with Patriots corner Aqib Talbi.

Meantime, firing Tom Coughlin would be an enormous mistake for the franchise. The team was assembled by GM Jerry Reese, and Coughlin dealt with multiple injuries to lead the team to four straight wins after a 0-6 start.

Coughlin hasn’t forgotten how to coach football, and all indications are his passion for coaching is still very strong.

Manning and Coughlin are attached at the hip, and together, they deserve to try and right the wrongs of this 2013 season. The Giants certainly need a lot of work to get back to a championship level in 2014, but parity in the NFL should give optimism to all Big Blue fans. And as mentioned, having that proven championship Coach-Quarterback duo doesn’t hurt either.

By George Aman

Play Bridge This exact hand was played last Friday morning at the Water Mill Bridge Club. It is an excellent example of the importance of an opening lead, especially in a no-trump contract. It is, at the same time, a good example of the importance of “ unblocking” when playing a bridge hand. I was on lead against a no-trump contract and Wendy Ricci was my alert partner.

With seven spades and only three points, I hoped that we could win some spades tricks.

Wendy must have about 10 high card points and might be able to help me establish my spade suit. I thought about which card to lead and decided on the queen of spades instead of my fourth down, the six of spades. Normally I like to lead the top of a three-card sequence against a no trump contract but with my length in spades I felt safe leading my queen.

Now Wendy was in a delicate situation. Many players will reflexively play the ten of spades but she hesitated just briefly and overtook my queen with the king.

Next came the ace which was a

pleasant surprise to me, followed by the ten which I won with the jack.

I was then able to cash all of my spades, sending South down four tricks. Notice that if Wendy plays the ten on the first trick, she can cash the ace and king but will not be able to get back to my now worthless hand. Her overtaking my queen is referred to as unblocking the spade suit. South will then have an easy ten tricks if Wendy fails to unblock.
