Kabot On The Fence

By Rick Murphy

Former Southampton Town Supervisor Linda Kabot is holding her cards close to the vest – for now. Last week, Republican Party leader William Wright told The Independent that the GOP hasn’t begun the process of choosing its candidates for the upcoming elections. Two incumbent board members, Jim Malone and Chris Nuzzi, haven’t announced their intentions yet. Two years ago, Kabot ran for town supervisor as a write-in candidate after Nuzzi declined an invitation to run, and she did surprisingly well, garnering over 3200 votes. “I am not yet sure about another run for public office this coming year but to be honest, I have been considering it,” Kabot said last week. “Certainly, many people have asked me to do so, often assuming I would be already in the running because of my prior write-in campaign in 2011.” It is no secret that the fire still burns – and there is the rivalry between Kabot and current Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst. The two clashed frequently, beginning when Throne-Holst was on the town board and Kabot sat in the supe’s seat. And though Throne-Holst bested her in the 2009 race, Kabot’s candidacy was hurt by a bogus DWI

charge leveled by Westhampton Beach Police a month before the election. Kabot was subsequently acquitted. In 2011 she filed a notice of claim announcing her intentions to sue the police force. Throne-Holst told The Independent last week that she is running, and would be open to a cross-endorsement from the GOP. Wright said, however, that his first preference was to have a Republican challenger. “The Republican line-up this year really hinges on what Councilman Chris Nuzzi decides to do in terms of another run for public office since he is faced with term limits for his current seat on the town board,” Kabot said. Some local politicians have speculated that Nuzzi may make a run for the County Legislature, presumably Jay Schneiderman’s soon to be vacated seat. Bridget Fleming, a Democrat on the Southampton Town Board, has also been mentioned as a possible can di da te fo r a seat on the horseshoe. “I was asked to consider it but I have obligations to the Town of Southampton and to my family,” Fleming said. “I don’t know what Jay’s plans are,” she added. Cornelius Kelley, who ran against

Schneiderman in 2011 and lost, was one name being bandied about by insiders. One source said Kelley might be interested in a run for town board. Jeff Mansfield, a critic of the proposed Bridgehampton/ Sagaponack beach replenishment project, is another name being circulated. Nuzzi did not return phone calls. Jim Malone, another Republican incumbent facing reelection, has not indicated what his plans are,  

Wright said. One source said he has his eye on a judgeship. Kabot said she’s been lying low, recovering from a cough. But she remains a popular figure and a proven vote getter—she toppled incumbent supervisor Pat Heaney, himself a proven vote getter, in a primary in 2007 and took his seat at town hall. “I am heartened by the expressions of support and kind words of encouragement,” Kabot said.

Schmitt Takes The Prize A harmonica and an a capella song crafted to the tune of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” won the night, and the crown, for Matt Schmitt. On Saturday night the Stephen Talkhouse was packed with revelers eager to see the annual Mr. Amagansett Pageant. What the evening lacked in beefcake, it more than made up with hilarity. Nick Kraus, Mr. Amagansett 2012, screened a film depicting a year during which his dream of achieving the crown morphed into a nightmare. Peter Honerkamp also screened a “docudrama” about the performance problems he’s had since losing to Kraus last year. He didn’t win this year, either. Gordon Ryan was voted runner up by a panel of five judges, which included this reporter, as an apparent effort to inject the wisdom of advanced age into the proceedings. Ryan also composed and sang a song, resplendent in cowboy gear, to the tune of “Don’t Fence Me In.” If Schmitt is unable to fulfill his duties (such as they are) as Mr. Amagansett 2013, Ryan will step in and don the crown, the big white terrycloth robe embroidered with an “A,” and seize the official scepter/clam rake. Highlights of the evening included “performances” by Councilmen Dominick Stanzione and Peter Van Scoyoc (top, right). Stanzione’s been a staple at each pageant since its inception. Van Scoyoc debuted as “Mullet Pete” and performed a song about the hamlet. K.M.

Indy Special Section Guide: SAY GOODBYE TO FOOTBALL – MAYBE FOREVER Negligence lawyers are licking their chops. They’ve found a new gold mine – football. Opportunist negligence lawyers like John “I’m rich and handsome so why can’t I be President” Edwards, who made millions snoockering hayseed juries to get them to award million-dollar medical malpractice suits, are crawling out from under their favorite rocks. Football may save their day in the nick of time. Asbestos and cigarettes have just about run their course. Now it’s football’s turn, and the new link to future multi-milliondollar lawsuits is the concussion, which is a deep, significant bruise to the brain. Just about every person who ever played football has, during the course of his career, experienced some type of concussion. Years ago it was called “having your bell rung.” 1 From IndependentAd_July12_Vert.pdf now on it will be called “making the cash register ring.”

The family of Junior Seau, who recently committed suicide, is filing a lawsuit against the NFL for wrongful death over head injuries he suffered during his career. Researchers who studied Seau’s brain found evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a degenerative disease that has been found in a number of other athletes who have passed away. The disease is caused by concussions and other repeated head traumas and causes symptoms like memory loss, mood disorders, depression and earlyonset dementia. The lawsuit alleges that the NFL did not do enough to protect Junior Seau from head injuries, saying the league added to “the health risk to players by promoting the game’s violence and lauding players for returning to play despite being rendered unconscious and/or disoriented due to their exposure 7/27/12 4:33 PM to sub-concussion and concussive forces.” If a judgment in the Seau case is Your Home is Your handed down, negligence lawyers Most Valuable Asset will pounce. If there is a settlement So trust a company that’s always here for you. in the Seau case, negligence lawyers will pounce. Pouncing is what negligence lawyers do best. The Seau case will bring on

a slew of cases started by older football players who are still feeling the effects of the game. As of now the NFL is reported to be facing an avalanche of lawsuits consolidated in Philadelphia on behalf of former players, living and dead, claiming that the league knew of the dangers of concussions but failed to warn players or act to protect them. It doesn’t end with the National Football League. Wait until players come after their individual teams. Teams are quaking in their boots. One cannot watch a football game without a television commercial spewing propaganda as to how committed football is to player safety. Tell that to the families of Chicago Bear Dave Duerson, Philadelphia Eagle Andre Waters and Atlanta Falcon Ray Easterling. Like Junior Seau, they are former NFL players who committed suicide. Tell it to Al Toon, who for years has experienced sensitivity to light, irritability, nausea, lapses in concentration and memory from a severe case of post-concussion syndrome brought on by the nine – count them, nine – concussions he suffered while he was a star wide receiver for the New York Jets. All a negligence lawyer has to prove when he has a Jets doctor or coach on the witness stand is that the Jets knowingly exposed

Toon to concussions and did not protect Toon or make him aware of potential exposure. Presto! Toon walks away with a multi-million-dollar judgment or a handsome settlement. It doesn’t end there. It reaches out to every college in the country that fields a football team. Notre Dame, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Florida, Texas, any college football factory has thousands of former players who, after four years of brutal practices and vicious games, can sue for a lifetime of headaches, bad dreams, dizzy spells and a future of dementia and Alzheimer’s. A concussion is a concussion no matter what brand of football one has played. How far will negligence lawyers go? Imagine this phone call: “Hello, is this Ritchie Safer? “Are you 14 years old? “When you were 11 years old did you play Pop Warner football? “Did you ever hurt your head? “Tell me, do you sometimes have trouble remembering the answers in your arithmetic class? “You do! Put your father on the phone, Richie. Tell him that there is a lawyer on the phone who is going to make him rich.” If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Southampton Backs Off “Bias-Free” Stance By Rick Murphy

have been treated in 2011. “We have a history of demonstrating peacefully. We’ve never caused any problems.” Boyd said most of his group were in their seventies. “I’m 51 and I was the second youngest.” The suit is not asking damages from the town but for an apology and assurances the plaintiffs will be able in the future to protest in the same places others are allowed to gather. For example, the Police Benevolent Association union members and the town’s Anti-Bias Task Force, along with the NAACP, were allowed to protest on the steps of town hall before the group of churchgoers was denied permission. Dunn charged the town “put a plan in place to prevent them from standing on the steps and sidewalk” in direct violation of the First Amendment. “It’s no accident religious freedom comes ahead of even freedom of the press. You are protected by the Constitution.” David Arntsen, an attorney hired by the town to defend it against the lawsuit, could not be reached for comment.

attorney representing the plaintiffs. He said the town “agreed not to enforce its bias-free legislation” while the matter is pending in court and filed a letter in court stating as much. That paved the way for a peaceful demonstration held Friday on the steps of town hall. The group wanted to protest on July 26, 2011, the first day same sex marriage licenses were being issued by the town. Officials took a hard line because they didn’t agree with the protesters, they charged. “We were bullied into a corner,” recalled James Boyd, one of the protesters on that day and again last Friday. “The town clerk said we were rude for asking questions. This is how they treat people who disagree with them. There were police everywhere, inside and out.” The church is noted for taking a conservative stance on issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. Last Friday, the town took a different tack. Police drove by but the handful of demonstrators was allowed to remain on the steps. Boyd said that was how they should

County Plans To Close Sex Offender Trailers

to try and reduce the risk of another child or adult getting hurt,” he said. O’Leary also added that the county residents pay about $3000 per month to house each offender in the trailers. That equates to about $1.3 million a year. Police officers would be required to make regular checks on all sex offenders to ensure they haven’t registered with false or outdated addresses. Parents for Megan’s Law, a nonprofit agency that works to prevent and treat child sexual abuse, “will strengthen and support the Suffolk County Police Department’s program that verifies the addresses of all registered sex offenders within the county,” according to a press release from Schneiderman last Thursday. Schneiderman and other officials present at the public forum the night prior said if the proposal doesn’t pass in the legislature, which was expected to be voted on as early as yesterday, then an alternative plan from Bellone for six “mini” shelters would be installed throughout the county. “The legislative body needs to work together and come up with solutions so these people can have success in their treatments,” said Riverhead Councilwoman Jodi Giglio at the January 30 meeting. It is estimated that Bellone’s mini shelters would cost about $4 million. “Nothing would please me more than to see the trailers go,” said Hank Beck, chair of the Westhampton/ Speonk/Remsenburg/Eastport/Quogue CAC. “Southampton has had to bear the load of two homeless sex offenders trailers in the whole county. The Town of Southampton has done its fair share of work.” Southampton Councilman Chris Nuzzi agreed. “Southampton Town should not be the repository for all of Suffolk’s burdens,” he said. “There’s an inherent issue of fairness here.

By Emily Toy

Suffolk County officials announced last week plans to shut down two homeless sex offender trailers in Riverside and Westhampton, a move the public has been wishing for since the trailers came to the East End in 2006. Suffolk County Legislator Jay Schneiderman hosted a public forum January 30 at the Riverhead County Center to discuss the homeless sex offender program and potential options for housing them. Schneiderman, along with Southampton Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst, Riverhead Supervisor Sean Walter, Legislator Al Krupski, Riverhead Town Assessor Mason Haas, and other officials discussed with the public how and when to rid the East End of the full burden of housing all of the county’s homeless sex offenders. Although County Executive Steve Bellone was not present, Schneiderman said he had spoken to him earlier that day. “The county executive thinks the trailers were bad public policy,” Schneiderman said. “And he made a public commitment to end it at the end of 2012.” Schneiderman added, although Bellone was unable to fulfill his wishes to close the trailers by the end of last year, the legislator said the county executive had a new plan to permanently close the two trailers. That new plan was revealed last Thursday morning in Hauppauge. According to Schneiderman, the focus of the plan is to ensure that sex offenders would not be clustered in any one neighborhood, but instead, be spread more equitably across Suffolk County. According to Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke, the police will work with the Social Services department to transfer the 40 or so homeless sex offenders currently being housed in trailers in Southampton Town into the county shelter system. No more than one offender would be housed per facility and the offenders would be housed away from homeless families. “The current trailers compromise people getting what they are supposed to from treatment,” said Bill O’Leary, a forensic therapist who works directly with sex offenders who are on parole and probation. “I’ve fought against the trailers from the beginning because it compromises my ability to do my job, because my job should be the same as what everyone else wants, which is

TAX EXPERTISE TO GET YOU EVERYTHING YOU DESERVE. GUARANTEED.

Yes, that’s a full-size Mini driving up the wall of Cooper’s new showroom at 35 Montauk Highway in Southampton. Located at the former BMW dealership, the new 3000 squarefoot showroom has a decidedly British flair, from the furnishings and phone booths down to the pool table -- and yes, customers are free to shoot a round or two. The new facility is triple the size of the previous site, noted James Reister, the Sales Manager, who said Cooper has been a fixture in Southampton since it was introduced to the U.S. market a decade ago. The Hamptons is a natural fit for the popular car. “The convertible accounts for more than half of Mini sales from March through July,” Reister pointed out. The Cooper line averages over 30 miles per gallon fuel consumption and performs exceedingly well in crash tests and sales satisfaction surveys. “Our customers range from the young to the old -- working class looking for great fuel economy to people who own a second home out here looking for a fun and reliable car to run around the Hamptons in,” Reister said.

Ariana DeMattei: Ahead Of The Pack

By Kitty Merrill

Lots of kids undertake “Mitzvah projects” in the months leading up to their Bar or Bat Mitzvahs. Few, however, are taking on anything as large scale as Ariana DeMattei is. A student at Westhampton Beach Middle School, she’s creating an entire program that she hopes to some day bring to neighboring schools. Called “Backpacks For Fellow Students,” the program’s goal is to help elementary school children who are unable to purchase basic school essentials to start the 2013/2014 school year with the same supplies as other children. Ariana hopes to assemble 50 packs filled with the required supplies for kids in grades Kindergarten through fifth by the start of school next September. Already, the seventh grader said, she’s been “shocked and amazed,”

by the willingness of others to help out. From local merchants to big chains like Staples, Office Max, and Office Depot to a family friend who helped craft a professional press release, “They put me at the top of their list and jumped at the chance to help me. I love their enthusiasm. At a time when so many people are effected by the economy . . . it’s making me overjoyed,” Ariana enthused. The Westhampton Beach school district already provides assistance to children of struggling families, through such programs as a lowered school lunch cost. Though “you can’t really tell” which students receive the benefits, the 12-year-old noted “I know so many people in my own backyard and my community who need help.” BFFS, she believes, will remove one burden from the WHB

district and “give the school the chance to take care of what they need to.” A Bat Mitzvah is a coming of age ritual for young Jewish girls. The process often calls upon children to do good deeds. “We’re encouraged to do projects to help our community, like a random act of kindness for a person or a group of people that are close to you, or for an issue that’s meaningful for you,” Ariana explained. The BFFS project combines Ariana’s interest in education and children, along with the Jewish mitzvah of tikkun olam, which focuses on repairing the world. To help achieve her goal, Ariana created a “wish list” on Amazon. com. Supporters can find the BFFS registry on the site, and contribute that way. They could also bring donations, or checks, to the Jewish Center of the Hamptons in East Hampton, which has agreed to act as an intermediary and a collection site.

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

By Rick Murphy

RICK’S SPACE For Crying Out Loud When we are little we cry a lot. I can remember strategically bursting into tears when my mom would try to make me do things I didn’t want to do. “Waaaaaa! I don’t wanna take a bath!” I would wail. “But you’re dirty,” she would say. Ultimately, she would prevail, of course. I was only 17, too weak to put up a fight. The last time I remember fake crying was when my first wife told me she was leaving me. Visions of orgies danced through my head, so maybe those were real tears of joy. That was a long time ago. Ray Lewis, a giant of a man and a vicious tackler, cries often. Every time they play the “Star Spangled Banner” the TV cameras search for Lewis, and bingo -- the tears begin to flow. He’s not crying because Beyonce got caught lip-synching the song, folks. My guess is he’s crying because he’s so happy he’s not in jail.

Lewis is treated like a saint by the media. He has lucrative endorsement deals. He’s going to retire to a career with ESPN. He sprinkles every conversation with “my Lord” or “my God.” The man can’t eat a freaking slice of pizza without thanking the Lord. On January 31, 2000 Ray Lewis was also playing in the Super Bowl, and his Lord and God must have been watching out for him then, too. Unfortunately, God was too busy ogling Ray’s jewelry to watch out for Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar, both of whom were stabbed to death that night. They got in a fight outside a nightclub where Lewis and his posse, and probably his Lord and God, were partying. The white suit Lewis had on disappeared. Baker’s blood was found in Lewis’s limo. Lewis and two of his posse, Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting, were indicted for murder.

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Lewis turned against his friends, copped a plea to a lesser charge, and testified against Oakley and Sweeting. But guess what? An Atlanta jury acquitted both men. The murders are still unsolved. I grew up in Brooklyn. One thing we all learned early on was to never squeal. You can fake-cry, you can pray to the Lord, but keep your mouth shut when the coppers start asking questions. If you didn’t, you could wail and cry to your heart’s content, but some guy named Vinnie the Hair Lip was going to see to it you went for a long swim in the Gowanus Canal, and by that I mean a permanent swim. And by the way, that hair lip on Vinnie was manmade -- by a punk with a razor. He don’t come around here no more, as they say. You always, we were taught on the streets of Brooklyn, “do the right thing,” even if it meant taking a bath when you didn’t want to. On January 31, 2000 the Great Humanitarian Ray Lewis had a chance to do the right thing. Instead, he turned squealer. We had lots of other words for his kind in Flatbush: canary, fink, informer, pigeon, rat, snitch, stoolie, and traitor. Worse, he’s a big crybaby. He gave his loyal friends up rather than take the heat. The great wordsmith, so elegant in interviews, has never answered

the question: where’s that white suit, Ray? Maybe his Lord and God stashed it somewhere like the Gowanus Canal, with a big lead pipe attached to it. That’s where they say Louie No Chin, the poor fool in our neighborhood that robbed the pizza joint owned by a connected guy, is taking his permanent bath nowadays. On April 29, 2004, Lewis reached a settlement with four-year-old India Lollar, born months after the death of her father Richard, pre-empting a scheduled civic suit charging Lewis with the death of her father. Lewis also reached an undisclosed settlement with Baker’s family. Epilogue: Naturally, the cameras focused on the weeping, praying Lewis after his team won the Super Bowl Sunday night, even though he was a liability to his team. That same day the N.Y. Post reported Lewis hadn’t given one cent of his $7 million salary to The Ray Lewis Family Foundation, and the one he started before that didn’t file tax returns for three years and was decertified. There was also a story implicating Lewis in a doping scandal. He might be an icon in this ESPN era of bosomy babes, smart aleck broadcasters, and men on steroids with big muscles and little brains, but he wouldn’t have lasted very long in Flatbush. He should remember “an eye for an eye.” That was in the Bible, Ray.

Town Needs To Admit It’s Wrong

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

VOICES

Spirit Of Healing Rick, I would like to join you in the points of view you expressed in your last editorial and say that it feels good to be with each other rather than at each other. We certainly need more equanimity in our politics, whether the issues are national or local. Certainly there will be differences in how to go about solving problems and at the same time I believe that reasonable people, which sadly does not include all people, can come to consensus if they are not driven by extraneous agendas. For example, there are legitimate differences with regard to deficit spending at this

February 6, 2013

EDITORIAL

Politicians are known to spout nonsense and make blustery speeches on occasion -– it comes with the territory. But when a municipality hires outside attorneys to defend indefensible positions it’s a waste of public funds, plain and simple. As reported in this newspaper, the Southampton Full Gospel Church wanted to stage a small protest on the steps of town hall last July 26 to protest the first day same sex marriage licenses were to be issued. Instead, the town denied the request, and herded seven would-be protestors to stand near an out of the way hedge the town claimed was the designated area for protestors. Village and town police were on hand to keep the peaceful demonstrators in line. The problem, and the reason the town is facing a Civil Rights lawsuit, is that officials had no right to deny the request. In fact, a raucous demonstration by the Police Benevolent Association had taken place on the very same steps a couple weeks before. The town’s Anti-Bias Task Force, in conjunction with the NAACP, also held a rally on the steps and the sidewalk in front of town hall. The town, in this case, claimed because town hall had been declared a “bias free zone” the town was within its rights to limit what protests take place. Nonsense. As one attorney said, “it doesn’t matter if it’s the Dalai Lama or the Ku Klux Klan. It’s protected by the constitution.” In fact, the First Amendment is

time to help continue job growth and ultimate economic stability. Our leaders and representatives need to parse out what works and not play to their respective bases. That way can be applied to all of the issues you discussed in your editorial. Hopefully, in the spirit of healing that was implicit in the President’s inaugural address we will be able to go forward as a nation united in our quest for justice and economic stability. DAVID J. WEINSTEIN

Grab History Dear Editor, Dreamers can’t just dream, or “sing to the choir,“ they must do the work. Our country is in immense financial and societal trouble. We must demand a stop be made on the skid into financial disaster. If we want families and business to prosper, lower taxes and less government

perfectly clear in the matter. One onlooker said a U.S. District Court judge in court last week was incredulous that the town is hanging its hat on the “bias-free zone” concept. Even town officials privately acknowledge it is symbolic and nothing more. To fight a lawsuit on the principle is folly, and the town apparently is willing to spend a lot of taxpayers’ money to defend an indefensible position. Let’s tell it like it is: the church’s anti-gay rhetoric offends some of the liberal chic crowd that rules the Hamptons. So the town came up with an arbitrary, self-righteous scheme to silence the protestors. Ironically the town convinced itself these seven protestors from the church, some of them grandparents, posed some sort of threat, but larger, rowdier demonstrations were allowed to proceed. The town agreed in court to allow the demonstrations to proceed while the suit wends through the legal process. We suggest acquiescing before more money is wasted on legal fees. If the town wants to hang “Bias Free Zone” signs up in town hall so be it. But let’s not continue to pretend it is some kind of defensible legal position. There is such a thing as a gun free zone, and a smoke free zone. These are tangible, enforceable bans. The idea of a bias free zone is a politically correct, well-intentioned message, but it was a moronic idea to use town hall -- a public building -- to play this silly game. regulation, and our country back on the tracks, we must be involved in the fight. Individuals create real progress, not government, so we must be willing to step forward to lead, no longer as followers. It will take courage to write the next chapter on this country’s history; denial and dependency go hand in hand, giving a false sense of security. We affirm every time the government takes our money they are stealing our future and our rights. The state cannot demand we walk by their every edict. We didn’t build and protect this country with fear or denial. Adams said there will be no moral nation if we don’t have a moral people. Problems are opportunities, all we need are courageous people willing to lead and ignore the arrows, because nothing of worth is easy. We need to grab history and shape it back into Constitutional principles. American principles never go out of style.

No Chance Dear Editor, A recent study by the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the Fish and Wildlife Service found that cats kill billions more wildlife every year than previously believed. This points to the need to keep our feline family members indoors and to ensure that every cat is spayed or neutered. Cats who are allowed to roam outdoors not only take a massive toll on vulnerable wildlife species such as birds, they often fall victim to cruel fates themselves. Every year, countless cats who are left outdoors unsupervised are killed by Continued on page 16.

Keeping our cats indoors will help prevent them from killing or being killed, but as the study points out, homeless cats kill the most wildlife.

Dear Rick, We can see by all the controversy the arms issue is a big topic. It’s the blame game. No one wants to cooperate. This can’t go on forever. Now let’s take a deep breath and settle down. Yes, we will have to compromise eventually. Agree to agree. Come to a conclusion. Some laws are out of place in an everchanging global world. They just don’t fit any longer. Let’s get on the same page. Be problem solvers, not problem makers. For the good of the country. For all of us. Instead of being stuck in a quagmire. Let’s act civilized. Get on with it.

This is always an outstanding event. East Hampton High School Ana Nunez, the district’s liaison with the Spanish-speaking community, will hold a meeting at 6 PM tomorrow for parents who speak only Spanish. She will cover subjects like the parent portal and how to help prepare students for college readiness. East Hampton’s finest young artists will have a chance to exhibit their work to the public in the Parrish Art Museum’s student art exhibition, which kicks off with a reception on Saturday from 4 to 6 PM. East Hampton Middle School Seventh and eighth grade foreign language students will understand the meaning of “Je me souviens” after their bus trip this week to Quebec. During the four-day trip, 32 students will visit both Montreal and Quebec City (which celebrated its quadricentennial in 2006). While there, the students and five accompanying chaperones – including French teacher Karen Crowley and Spanish teacher Ellen Collins -- will visit the Winter Carnival, the famed ice hotel, go dog sledding, and view the works at Montreal’s Musee de Beaux Arts.

Science teacher Stacy Myers has been teaching the students about the evolution of simple machines and tools from early humans to the twentieth century. At the museum, the first graders tied their studies into local maritime history. They identified simple tools and machines that were used, such as levers and pulleys on fishing boats, pedals on a grinding stone, and wheels on a wagon.

CAM P ACTI VITIE S

Oceanfront property owners in Bridgehampton, Sagaponack and Water Mill approved a $24 million beach renourishment project to repair the six-mile stretch of critically eroded ocean beach in Southampton Town in a referendum on Saturday. The shoreline includes 141 properties, five of which are townowned beaches. The project will be paid for by special district tax levies on the properties within two beach erosion control districts. The town’s share of the project cost is $1.5 million, which will come from reserved funds from park fees. A total of 124 people of the 181 eligible to cast ballots in the referendum did so. The final votes tallied had 75 ballots cast in favor of the project and 49 against it. “Today’s referendum marks the culmination of two and a half years of collaboration with our oceanfront property owners -- a group of constituents who first approached the Town with an interest in forming a special taxing district in order to jointly pursue more efficient and cost-effective measures for protecting their properties,” said Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst in a press release on Sunday. Now that Southampton has the support of the referendum, the town can be cleared to bond for the nearly $24 million cost of the project. The bond will be paid back over the next 10 years through the special tax levy for the property owners. The renourishment project, which will include pumping 2.5 million tons of sand from natural supplies on the ocean bottom a mile offshore, will take two months to complete and is expected to double the width of the beach from Flying Point to the East Hampton Town border.

“The beaches are a crucial part of our local economy and way of life, and the properties within these BECDs [Beach Erosion Control Districts] also comprise a major portion of our tax base,” the supervisor said. Work on the project is expected to be completed within the year, with the possibility of beginning in late spring or early summer. However, organizers and the town have said it most likely will commence after Labor Day. Emily@indyeastend.com

Nineteen venues. More than 70 performances by hundreds of musicians. Think hot fun on cold days as the 2013 Long Island Winterfest: Jazz on the Vine kicks off this weekend for the sixth consecutive year. Running every weekend from S a t u r d a y t h r o u g h M a r c h 17, Winterfest pairs jazz by top-level performers with tastings at a myriad of North Fork wineries – close to 20 in all. It’s grown into a regional attraction, with visitors filling North Fork B&Bs and restaurants during what’s traditionally been the slowest time of the year. The event’s been so successful to date; it was awarded the 2012 National Destination Marketing Award by Americans for the Arts and Destination Marketing International. And that’s no surprise.

The ability to see and the ability to take advantage of all a library has to offer go hand-in hand, East Hampton Library Dennis Fabiszak pointed out. That’s why he was “thrilled” last Friday when members of the East Hampton Lions Club Health and Sight Committee brought an eyeglass collection box to the Main Street facility. According to Lion Russ Calemmo, the club collected 5500 pairs of

glasses from the community, using the mailbox shaped receptacles found in several places locally, plus Southampton Hospital, where he estimated another 250 to 300 pairs were amassed. From the East End, the glasses are sent to a facility in New Jersey for inspection and sterilization. Next, they’re sent to third world countries under the auspices of Lions Club International. “It’s a great project,” Calemmo said. “ We ’ r e b a s i c a l l y a s i g h t organization,” he continued, inviting Don Huntting, a nearly 50-year member, and Frank Dalene into the conversation. Dalene’s wife, Gwen, is one of the club’s first female members. Larry Otto was on hand as well. In addition to their sightrelated programs, including a drive to test kids’ vision at local schools, the Lions also help disabled locals by collecting gently used wheelchairs and walkers, plus varied accouterment used by the disabled or sick. “As people need them, they can have them, free of charge,” he explained. The Lions have also built accessibility ramps for locals as well. K.M.

The regular season ends this week, and a number of local teams are setting their sights on the postseason. First up is the Suffolk County Championships, with the state tournament, slated to begin the first week of March, the ultimate goal. In League III, Riverhead and Smithtown West, both 10-3, were slated to play for the league title yesterday. Riverhead tuned up for the showdown last Thursday, traveling to Smithtown East and coming away with an effortless 7964 victory. As has been the case all season, the Blue Wave spread the scoring around. Ryan Blitzer was the big gun on this night, tallying 25 points while dishing out six assists and grabbing six rebounds. Markim Austin scored 21 and accounted for

10 rebounds. Quinn Funn added 15 points. The Wave, 13-3 overall, play North Babylon at home tomorrow. Riverhead and Smithtown West are vying for seeding position in the County Class AA bracket. East Hampton, 6-4 in League VI and 11-5 overall, clinched a berth in the Class A bracket with a gutsy 8075 win at Glenn Thursday. Rolando Garces, who has been on fire of late, was downright unconscious this time out, going off for a career high 33 points as Bonac surged ahead in overtime. Thomas King and Danny McKee tallied 18 each for the locals and Brendan Hughes added 10. Garces also grabbed eight rebounds. Bonac, 11-5 overall, is tied for second place in the league with Bayport/Blue Point behind Amityville (10-0) – the Mighty Warriors were due in East Hampton tomorrow for

a 4:15 affair with the Bubbies. East Hampton ends the regular season tomorrow at Bayport. Southampton, playing at home against winless Hampton Bays (0-12 in League VII) Thursday, probably expected the Baymen to roll over. But these two heated rivals always bring it against each other. The Mariners (11-2) prevailed in a nail biter, 59-50, to stay within striking distance of Babylon (11-1) in League VII. Credit Shaundell Fishburne, who scored 15, dished off for three more, and had 12 rebounds. Scott Ricca and Lyle Smith each scored 11 for the winners. Southampton finishes off the regular season up in Mattituck tomorrow. The Mariners and Babylon may well end up playing for the Class B championship and a berth in the State playoffs against the Nassau

Lady Mariners Look To The Next Level By Rick Murphy

The Southampton Mariners, defending County Class B champs, have their sights set on another title, and the state tournament beyond. The locals clinched the League VII title Friday by edging Hampton Bays, 50-41. The win gave the Mariners a perfect 10-0 league record, (13-3 overall) and likely a number one seed in the upcoming county tournament. Coach Juni Wingfield’s charges are one of the few teams in the state that can boast two 1000-point career scorers– Paris Hodges and Kesi Goree each hit the milestone earlier this season. Against Hampton Bays both proved instrumental in the victory. Hodges tallied 15 points and had six rebounds; Goree went for 10 and 10. They were joined by Noel Hodges, who scored 10 and dished off for three dimes. Aubrey Rogers scored 11 for the Baywomen (4-7 in the league, 9-8 overall). A win at home Friday night against Mattituck will likely clinch the top seed in the County B. A win there will give Southampton a shot at the overall county title (against larger schools)

and a chance to repeat as Long Island Class B champs against the Nassau County winner. Mattituck has also clinched a spot in the playoffs but will have a tough row to hoe to advance into the finals. Riverhead has clinched second place in League III and looks to go on a run similar to last season, when the Lady Waves went all the way to the state Final Four tournament. Thursday the locals polished off Smithtown East at home, 67-45. Shanice Allen led all scorers with 22 and Naysha Trent added 18. Riverhead finishes off the regular season in North Babylon tomorrow. NB is 12-0 in the league, 15-1 for the season, and the likely top seed in the County AA tourney. Whitman, Sachem East and Commack are other teams Riverhead may have to contend with to repeat. East Hampton suffered a setback Thursday, getting trounced by powerful Glenn 64-21 to fall to 5-5 in League VI action. The locals can play their way into the tournament by winning at home Friday evening against Bayport/Blue Point at 6:15. In League VIII Stony Brook has clinched first place and the top seed

in the County Class C playoffs. Both Southold/ Greenport (8-2, 9-5 overall) and Pierson/Bridgehampton (74, 9-8 overall) have made the grade. Thursday, the two squared off and the Lady Whalers prevailed, 44-40. Kasey Gilbride and Abby Ruiz led a balanced attack with nine points each. Nicole Busso record 12 for the North Forkers. Pierson finishes up at Stony Brook Friday night; Southold gets Smithtown Christian at home the same day at 4:30 PM.

County “B” winner. Pierson has cemented down second place in League VIII. The Whalers crushed Southold Thursday 75-50 to run their league mark to 10-3. Second to undefeated Stony Brook. Forrest Loesch exploded for 26 points and Patrick Sloane tallied 11 and 10 rebounds. Jake Bennett also scored 11. Liam Walker led the losers with 18 and David O’Day chipped in with 17. Stony Brook comes to Sag Harbor for a 6:15 showdown tomorrow. The game may not affect the seedings, but could serve as a prelude to the Class C title game. Greenport (8-4) may have something to say about that: the Porters took apart Southold 74-7 at home Thursday led by Billy Doucett, who had 20 points and 11 boards. Gavin Dibble just missed a triple double with 17 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists. Austin Hooks scored 18 and grabbed 13 boards. The Porters are historically a dangerous playoff team. The Settlers are suffering through a rare down season with a 3-9 league mark (4-12 overall). The Porters play at Shelter Island tomorrow. Speaking of Shelter Island, the locals have had a resurgent season and as one of the few a Class D schools on Long Island could easily earn a berth in the state playoffs. Right now they are tied with Bridgehampton for fourth place in League VIII with identical 6-6 marks; the Bees are a Class D school as well. If the Bees get by Ross (0-11) tomorrow the 10-time State Class D champs may well find themselves on the road upstate again.
