LET’S NOT GIVE UP ON AARON HERNANDEZ So Aaron Hernandez got life without parole for murdering a guy named Odin Lloyd. What a waste. Hernandez is only 25 years old. He’s going to spend the rest of his life in a cell at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center, a maximum security prison. It will cost the taxpayers of Massachusetts between 2 and 3 million bucks to keep him locked up for the next 60 years or so. What a waste. So here’s my plan: The New York Giants (the football
team I love) offers the state of Massachusetts $3 million a year for the rights to have Hernandez play tight end for them for every Sunday home game. For the home-games-only rights to Hernandez, the Giants will also give up a number-two pick in the upcoming draft to the New England Patriots, the last team to employ Hernandez. I know the Giants are not obligated to do this, but it’s to keep the evil Bill Belichick, coach of New England, from doing icky

things to them. In essence, Hernandez is on a football work-release program. He shows up on Sunday morning shackled and surrounded by six beefy guards. He plays. Then they shackle him again and take him back to the stir the same day. The television possibilities are endless. Can you just see a television close-up of holier-than-thou, pious, pompous Tom Coughlin talking to him? Yelling at him? Should there be guards on the bench in case Coughlin offends Hernandez and Hernandez makes a grab for Coughlin’s scrawny neck? And how about sweet, innocent Eli Manning in a huddle looking into the cold, dead eyes of Hernandez? Think what this will do for the popularity of professional football. Will the Giants fan boo or cheer him? I say they will cheer, because if Yankee fans cheered a lying fink like Alex Rodriguez when he came back, Giants fans like me will cheer a great tight end like Aaron Hernandez. Don’t think about the morality of having a crazed killer playing football. Instead, do as everyone connected to the sport does: Think of the ratings. Think of the profits on the sale of Hernandez uniform shirts, which the Giants will donate to the MakeA-Wish program. Think of the joy of listening to all of those ESPN sports-show hosts pontificating about Hernandez and

the Giants for hours. Think of the fans all over the country scouring the prison rolls, looking for other football-playing killers their team can draft. Let me repeat this: It’s only eight times a year when Hernandez gets out for one day only, and then he goes back to the can for the next six days. He has to exercise and stay in shape or the Giants can drop him. The Giants also must offer a million dollars a year to the family of Odin Lloyd as long as Hernandez plays for them. What’s in it for Hernandez? First of all, there’s playing football in the fresh air. It beats doing calisthenics in a prison yard. And then I suggest if he goes along with this, his sentence should be changed to life with parole at age 70. Not one day sooner. I’m not comfortable with anyone being sentenced to life in prison without parole on purely circumstantial evidence. Are you? Did you see those dopey jurors who said they found him guilty because of the look on his face during the trial? When Hernandez gets out at the age of 70, he will be a subdued family man with a 350-pound prison spouse named Moose. Then, like O.J. Simpson, he can spend the rest of his life searching for the real killer. Justice and my beloved Giants will have been served.

They’re Back. DA Commences New CPF Probe By Kitty Merrill
Is it happening again? East Hampton Town officials got a visit from the folks from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office on Monday. They came bearing a gift, if that’s what you call an order to appear before the grand jury. A subpoena delivered on Monday commands the town’s Custodian of Records to appear before the grand jur y and bring records related to the purchase of what’s now known as Amagansett Farm, including resolutions, minutes of executive session and public sessions, memoranda, email, texts, and voting records. It further “commands” the town to bring all records and documents related to the purchase of the Montauk Highway property formerly dubbed “555” including negotiations, as well as all Community Preservation Fund records related to the purchase. Local government watchers will remember that almost 10 years ago disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee’s administration began playing fast and loose with Community Preservation Fund money, using dough from the sacrosanct fund to cover
regular operational expenses. It appears the DA is looking to see if something hinky happened with the Amagansett Farm purchase. Exclusive coverage of the McGintee scandal in The Independent prompted investigations by both the Office of the State Comptroller and the Suffolk County District Attorney. In 2009, after the extensive probe ended, the then-budget officer was arrested, McGintee resigned, and reports from the DA and OSC validated what The Independent had been reporting for months. When the dust settled, auditors determined the CPF had been looted to the tune of close to $27 million. The CPF is a dedicated fund that derives its revenue from a two percent tax on most real estate transactions in the five East End towns. The money is supposed to be used to acquire open space, farmland, and historic properties. Ten percent of the annual revenue can be used to cover the stewardship and management costs associated with the purchased land. This year the fund, which was approved by voters in 1998 and began amassing money in ’99, hit the billion dollar mark, with more than 10,000 acres

Buying the building on this farm property with CPF money was a no no, according to the author of the preservation law. Now the DA’s looking into it.
preserved. In the wake of the previous scandal, CPF law was revised and refined, with an appointed regional Opinions Bureau convened to weigh in on questions related to the use of the money . . . not that East Hampton listened in the case of the purchase of the property in Amagansett.
Relief, Then Concern A collective sigh of relief rose up from the hamlet last year when the town board announced a deal had been struck to purchase the acreage
formerly owned by the Principi family. Bucolic parcels located at the eastern gateway to Amagansett had been targeted by out of town developers who wanted to construct at first, 89 luxury senior condos, then on a second try, 23 apartments and 63 single family residences. The town would pay $10.15 million for two parcels, then lease the land, with the hope that it would be farmed (even though it hadn’t been since the 1930’s). A larger piece comprises about Continued on Page 37.

‘Nobody Got Everything They Wanted’ By Kitty Merrill
“Nobody’s completely happy,“ Jeremy Samuelson obser ved. “Nobody got ever ything they wanted.” Last Thursday night, the town board passed three of four proposed restrictions at East Hampton Airport. Members eschewed enacting a proposed hellicopter ban and adopted rules relating to curfews and a “one trip per week” regulation. Members voted unanimously on the curfews, but Councilman Fred Overton dissented when it came to regulating the number of times craft deemed “noisy” may land or take off. The councilman acknowledged the “deliberate and exhausting process” that led up to the vote. He congratulated his colleagues on the town board, particularly airport liaison Councilwoman Kathee BurkeGonzalez, as well as town-appointed committees and town attorneys for their efforts trying to achieve a balance between the needs of airport users and the needs of the community. But when it comes to limiting landings and takeoffs, he said, “I’m not yet convinced that it will produce as many benefits as my colleagues believe.” Officials have promised to monitor complaints as the season progresses. Overton’s concerned that “politically” it will be difficult to ease restrictions once they’re in place. He’d rather see an incremental approach. “Let’s impose the fewest restrictions possible and if it becomes necessary, we can impose additional restrictions next year,” he said. Overton said he is also concerned about the possibility that overflow air traffic will divert to other area airports in Montauk, Southampton Village and Westhampton. He’s not as willing as his colleagues to take that risk, he said. Finally, the councilman urged fellow board members to “be realistic” about litigation. He feels the town would “reduce exposure” with just the addition of curfews. Before the vote and Overton’s statement, several speakers took to the podium to express gratitude, displeasure, or a little of both. David Gruber reminded the airport has been a contentious issue for decades. (He’s sued the town in the past about it.) Appointed head of one of the airport committees, Gruber said he was keenly aware of some residents’ disappointment at the withdrawal of the helicopter ban. “This is not because the problem is
not as serious as we believe,” he said. “It’s because it’s more serious.” The unintended consequence of the ban – that choppers will descend on other airports -- was given as the reason for shelving the ban. “No one in this community is prepared to take this noise,” Gruber said. Helicopter companies got a reprieve, Gruber pointed out. They have another year to prove voluntary measures can make a difference. “I heartily invite them to do that,” said Gruber. At one time, Gruber was chair of the local Democratic Committee. The chair of the local Republican Committee, Tom Knobel, also had something to say last Thursday
night. Like other speakers at the March public hearing and last week, Knobel looked askance at the town’s math. He doubts the town’s numbers and wonders how the airport can become self-sustaining at the same time as traffic is decreased. He characterized the towns financial data as “smoke reflected in distorted mirrors,” and said the town board is deluding itself when it comes to funding the airport’s operations while concurrently decreasing traffic. Speaking on behalf of the Concerned Citizens of Montauk, Samuelson observed there will still be a noise problem with the new restrictions in place. The proposals
are not a perfect solution, but first attempts rarely get the whole thing right, he noted. The activist reminded board members of their vow to monitor airport activities and the effect of the restrictions. He’d also like to see complaint data broken out to show where the complaints originate – from East Hampton or Montauk. He’d also like destination data, and concluded, “The proposed steps are reasonable.” On Friday, the Friends of the East Hampton Airport hinted at law suits to come, releasing the following statement from spokesman Loren Continued on Page 25.

Political Waters Churning In Southampton By Rick Murphy
Holst, who insiders said is ready to run again. “His family has lived here for generations,” Wright pointed out. “These are people who remember how it used to be around here, people who were born and raised here.” There is another potential candidate who will screen next week, he added. There are more than a few familiar names being kicked about. On the town board front, Republican incumbent Christine
Scalera, a top voter, will run for reelection. Bridget Fleming, a Democrat and an incumbent Southampton councilwoman who was also supported by The Independence Party, is also up for reelection. However, sources say she is more likely to make a run at the county legislature seat currently held by Jay Schneiderman, whose term is expiring. Meanwhile, Amos Goodman, a Republican, has already announced he will run for the legislature seat.

T h e S o u t h a m p t o n To w n Republican Party is thinking local as party members screen potential candidates for the upcoming political season. “Our main focus is getting good local people to run,” said party chairman William Wright. One example is Richard W. Yastrzemski, a Southampton Village Trustee with strong local roots who would like to challenge incumbent Town Supervisor Anna Throne-
Richard W. Yastrzemski
But Wright said another candidate has screened for that nomination, and that “it could be up in the air.“ Schneiderman, meanwhile, told The Independent in an exclusive interview that he could make a run for the Southampton Town Board, and is leaving his options open about his political future. Schneiderman, a former East Hampton Town Supervisor, maintains residences in both towns. Schneiderman is also a member of The Independence Party, and has in the past garnered support from both the Democrats and the Republicans. Like Schneiderman, State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, a former Southampton Town Supervisor, has enjoyed the support of all the political parties at one time or another. He currently serves as the Southampton Town Independence Party Chair. Thiele said should Fleming run for the county seat, the Democrats have lined up several potential replacements, including James Larocca of Sag Harbor. Perhaps not coincidentally, Thiele’s name has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the county legislature. That would smooth Schneiderman’s transition to a Southampton Town Board candidate. “I’ve been asked,” the assemblyman acknowledged. “I’m happy doing what I’m doing.” Two Republicans are known to have screened for the Southampton board openings: Damon Hagan, a lawyer from East Quogue, and Jim Sanford, a financial advisor from Sag Harbor. There will be more screenings, Wright said. Last election the historically tight relationship between the GOP and the Conservative Party, was somewhat fractured – Linda Kabot, the GOP candidate for town supervisor, alienated a number of Conservatives and ended up having to fight off Phil Keith, who ran as a write-in candidate. This year, fences are mending between the two parties, Wright said. “ We have an excellent relationship with the Conservative Party,” he said.

Images Of America: Bridgehampton By Emily Toy
Last week The Independent was given a special sneak peek of a new visual narrative about the history of Bridgehampton, with a local author offering stunning, vintage images. Titled Bridgehampton’s Summer Colony, author Julie B. Greene utilizes the photograph collections of the Bridgehampton Museum to present a compilation of the hamlet’s role as an early 20th century summer hotspot. Greene is the curator and archivist for the Bridgehampton Museum and the local history librarian at the Hampton Library in Bridgehampton. Bridgehampton’s Summer Colony
is part of the “Images of America” series, celebrating the history of neighborhoods, towns and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. The pages of the book are lined with photographs of people, including presidents, businessmen and celebrities, as well as cottages, boardinghouses, estates, churches, advertisements, invitations, and publications. Slated for an official on-sale date this Monday, the pictorial history is set to sell for $21.99. Thanks to Arcadia Publishing, the book
will be available at local retailers, online bookstores or through the publishing company itself. Arcadia Publishing, the leading local history publisher in the United States, is committed to making history accessible and meaningful through publishing books that celebrate and preserve the heritage of America’s people and places. And the tiny hamlet nestled between Southampton, East Hampton, Sag Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean, is no exception. Settled in 1656, Bridgehampton was aptly named for a bridge that was built to connect the settlement of Mecox and Sagaponack. Ninety

miles from New York City, the rural farming community was transformed by the arrival of the Long Island Rail Road in 1870. “With the notion that salt air and sea breezes were the perfect relief from the hot and sweltering isle of Manhattan, wealthy New Yorkers made the sojourn to the pristine shores of the Atlantic Ocean,” according to the book’s description available on Arcadia’s website. “On a trip down Ocean Road toward the beach, one would pass the grand homes of a toy importer, a pen manufacturer, a coal industrialist, a merchant tailor, and an inventor- the established summer colony.” Bridgehampton’s Summer Colony will be available through local retailers as well as online bookstores.

Hills Making Headway By Emily Toy
Next month, the Southampton Town Board will host a public meeting focusing on specific environmental issues that will need to be considered as part of an environmental impact study of The Hills at Southampton. The housing and golf course project, proposed for East Quogue, was recently issued a “positive declaration” based on the State Environmental Quality Review Act. That means the town board decided a full environmental impact study is vital before the project can move forward. Referred around Town Hall as The Hills At Southampton MixedUse Development District, the project’s sponsors seek to change four separate land holdings totaling nearly 595 acres from Residential to Mixed-Use Planned Development District in East Quogue. The land rests between Spinney and Lewis roads. In previous months, the
ON THE BEAT
application for the project was deemed incomplete because it was missing multiple pieces of information, such as an appraisal of the property, plus discussion of fiscal and economic impacts of the development, and its potential community benefit. The majority of the proposed site (over 450 acres) lies south of Sunrise Highway. Now, part of the long range planning includes constructing 95 residential units
www.indyeastend.com
on over 26 acres. According to Discovery Land, a company behind the development of the area, the residential units are expected to be occupied for an average 60 days each year, during the summer months. Other future plans for the land include a clubhouse area with 23 residential units, a pro shop, dining area and spa-related amenities on 4.25 acres. There would also be a golf course on over 92 acres, a pond/pond house on 4.6 acres, a maintenance area (about 1.64 acres) and nearly 10 acres of new roadways and driveways. About 168 acres would be dedicated

to the homes and golf course. The rest of the land would be dedicated as open space. Scheduled for May 5, a public scoping session will activate the public’s participation in the project’s development, while ensuring open discussion. “The scoping process is intended to ensure public participation in the DEIS [Draft Environemntal Impact Statement] development process, allow open discussion of issues of public concern and permit inclusion of relevant, substantive public issues in the final written scope,” the resolution reads.

Further checking revealed a slew of related offenses, police said, including four suspensions, a warrant out of Nassau County for failure to pay a fine, and three other warrants from Freeport. Oh yeah, police said Sanchez passed the bus while crossing a double yellow line. He was taken into custody. Felony DWI Southampton Town Police pulled over a driver on East Tiana Road Friday night and ascertained he was intoxicated, they said. Victor G. Rojas-Perez, 36, had been drinking excessively and a computer check revealed he had several brushes with the law and had lost his license. He was charged, among other things, with DWI, and two counts of First Degree Aggravated Unlicensed, a felony, and another violation.

RICK’S SPACE A Horse’s Arse I know a hell of a lot about horses – my old man used to take me to the track – but I’ve only ridden one. It happened during my hippie years, probably around 1972 or so. A bunch of us traveled up from New Orleans to Mississippi, where we saw an advertisement: $20 to ride all day on a 40,000 acre piece of wilderness; bring your own lunch. At this point I should point out I think it was Mississippi. My buddy swears to this day we were in Georgia. Another one swears it was Arkansas. When you consider we weren’t sure if we lived on Earth or Pluto, any one of us could be right. Or maybe none of us are. I had an Afro that soared to the sky à la Jimi Hendrix. Two of the guys had ponytails. One guy had purple shoes — you get the picture. Them ol’ boys saw us coming. “Give Killer to that one with the Afro,” I could hear one of them
say, spitting out tobacco juice with every other word. Later I found out he was “Tex.” There were six of us – we mounted up and the guide gave us a map – that’s the last we saw of him. Killer took off like a bat out of hell and within minutes I was completely lost. Then my saddle started slipping off and so did I. “Slim” must have forgotten to fasten it properly. Luckily, I remember him saying that even if you fell off your horse, never let go of the reins, and I didn’t. As we walked along the trail, Killer could have broken free anytime he wanted. I realized he’d played this game many times before. He knew a tenderfoot when he met one. No, he wasn’t going to run away – but he wasn’t letting me on his back, either. We walked and we talked. Well, I talked, anyway. He snorted. I kept looking for the “Watering Hole” which appeared on the map but

the truth was I was lost. (Maybe I was a little stoned, too – who can remember 1972, anyway?) I would say clever things like, “Please let me back up,” and “Where the f**k are we, anyway?” Finally I couldn’t hold out any longer and I took out my lunch, a cream cheese and jelly sandwich, my only sustenance for the long day ahead. I figured it had to be mid-afternoon. I took a bite, and he snorted. “Want a bite?” I asked. He gulped down the whole freaking thing. Now it was just Killer, the blazing sun, and me. We walked for hours. I realized it was much earlier than I thought when I ate my lunch — probably around 10 AM. We came to a wooded area. I found a stream. Killer drank. I drank. Killer peed. I peed. I tried to sing to him, but that didn’t go over well. (It never does.) Finally I tried talking to him like a cowboy. “I reckon the sun be setting soon,” I said. “Best we head back to camp down yonder.” This went on for a while. “Cookie probably got a pot of stew up for us.” Finally, around 5 PM, Killer inexplicably allowed me to get on board, and he took off. At first I was scared, but soon the sheer elation of whipping through the wind on this magnificent beast overtook my senses. That is, until I saw all the

barbed wire. We rounded a bend and there it was -- a string of barbed wire was stretched over several hundred yards. Killer decided to race parallel to it, inches from the fence -- where my leg was. My frantic shouts of “Whoa” did nothing to slow him down. My jeans started getting snagged. I almost fell off, but mercifully, the horse came to a dead stop by his barn. I dismounted hastily, still wobbly. Tex and the boys ambled over with stupid grins on their faces. “How’d it go?” one asked, giggling. “Great,” I said. “Once he learned who the boss man was. I put him through his paces. Had him cantering. Jumped a few fences. Killer? Huh! Y’all shoulda’ called him Pansy, boys. Now if you’ll excuse me, I reckon I gotta bang some shoes for this big fella before dinner. What’s it gonna be, stew or stew?” With that I sauntered to the parking lot and our Volkswagen van. We spent the ride home bragging about our horseback riding expertise until one by one the truth came out. OK, several of us were crying out there when it finally dawned on us that we might die in the wilderness. I still see the headline in my dreams: “Body Of Lost Hippie Found In Mississippi Gorge.” (Or was it Georgia?) I never went horseback riding again, but I still have bowed legs.

Dear Mr. Murphy, A recent article published in The Independent describing the DEC’s denial of a permit to expand a Noyac sand mine was enlightening (“Sandland Expansion Denied,” 4/8/15). Because The Independent publishes a single edition to residents on both sides of the Canal, a large segment of the Southampton population west of the Canal was made aware of an issue

EDITORIAL
It wasn’t too long ago East Hampton, under a Democratic Party controlled town board, was at the epicenter of a scandal that rocked the very foundation of the Community Preservation Fund program. The East Hampton Town Budget officer, Ted Hults, was arrested but the money was never recovered. Instead, taxpayers are on the hook to repay it. The Democrats are once again in power, and the shenanigans are beginning anew. This didn’t stop the local party from issuing a press release condemning the fact that the town had $100 million in debt when the latest town board took office, and that the town has refinanced it to save taxpayers money. The implication was they inherited a mistake and fixed it. Lost in the self-gloating was the fact that almost all the debt East Hampton accumulated was because of mismanagement by the Democratic Party while it held a majority – and this town board is spending at an alarming rate. When the town used $10.1 million of CPF to purchase the 555 property in Amagansett, it was acting partly on behalf of Democratic insiders pushing for the purchase, though there was certainly a groundswell of opposition to the project proposed for the site – numerous high end condos. Debbie Foster, a former Democratic Town Board member and party activist, produced a petition with 1200 signatures urging the town to buy the property. Democratic Party Chairman Jeanne Frankl rose in public to urge the board to do the same thing. The town took pains to label the parcel “Amagansett Farm” and played on our farming heritage, raising the specter of farmland lost forever as impetus enough to dip into the CPF. Unfortunately, the fact that an 8000 square foot building sits on 7.06 acres within the purchased site was soft-soaped. Insiders say the town isn’t allowed to use the CPF for this purchase. The town board and Supervisor Larry Cantwell were aware there was a problem.
Independent

that tends to be overlooked due to the bifurcated reporting practices of The Southampton Press. The owner of the Noyac mine operates a similar mine in East Quogue, and I’ve read the report by the U.S. Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration that described a fatality at the East Quogue location. By all accounts the man who died, Declan Boland, was a true hero. Apparently smoke was seen rising from an embankment. Even though the owner reportedly told Boland that smoke was not unusual (I’d like to know why), one of Boland’s crew, Eduardo Arias, volunteered to investigate.
The Regional Opinions Bureau, appointed in the wake of the earlier debacle, warned them as much. Town leaders said they asked the bureau for an opinion – but they didn’t wait for it. Assemblyman Fred Thiele, who co-authored the CPF legislation, told Cantwell the town needs to return $3.6 million to the CPF. After the deal was consummated the board announced it would consider written proposals for the parcels. That’s when the insiders made their play. The South Fork Country Club wanted the site — East Hampton Supervisor Larry Cantwell is a long time member of the golf club. Another group led by a planning board member wants to lease the parcel and then use the building for a myriad of potential money- making projects. One proposal offers $6000 annually to farm it — a mere fraction of the real worth, especially when the farmer could be raking it in with projects in the building. Why would the town buy farmland, take a small payment to lease it, and then watch those who grab it make a fortune re-leasing the adjoining building? How does that benefit the public at large? Insiders. Politics. Favors. The stuff the District Attorney looks into. Was it a deliberate scheme, or are our board members naïve? Either way, it’s symptomatic of the real problem -- those in power think they can do whatever they want under the guise of “preserving our farming tradition.” The building according to one proposal, has an industrial-sized kitchen; spaces could be rented for farming or cooking classes; there could be a cooperative. The building could house all kinds of moneymaking ventures – what’s next, weddings? Was the luxury senior citizen project, which would have padded the tax rolls and not added a single student to the school rolls, so bad? One proposal would allow farm workers to live in the house. Is this better than luxury senior citizen housing? If the purchase of the building is disallowed, we the taxpayers will have to ante up the loot to make the CPF whole. It’s deja-vu all over again. Boland insisted it was his responsibility and when the slope began to collapse, Boland told his co-worker to run. With due respect to Declan Boland who, like the firefighters and police on 9/11, risked his life to protect others, the MSHA report cited the owner for a safety violation. Remarkably no one has questioned the East Quogue operation other than myself, and I have never suggested that the mine be closed. Rather I have asked why dust, noise, and traffic cannot be mitigated and why public water cannot be installed on the street facing the mine (possibly using federal or state funding). Hopefully The
Independent’s article will focus the Town’s attention on mining west of the Canal. Regardless of location, mines operate in a similar fashion. SUSAN CERWINSKI

Warming narratives that part the nation from the contents of Americans wallets to benefit friends of Al Gore & Co. Recently Gallup suggested a low level of interest for most Americans. They are absorbed in genuinely important matters as their wealth is being redistributed to Barry and Al, such as the size and shape of the Kardashian’s posteriors. For example take railroad engineer RK Pachauri who headed the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - until he resigned under charges of sexual abuse of non railroad engineers, whose expertise on changing climate was probably as well-founded as Pal’s and Zizelis’. Even though its obviously “settled science” as our president insisted while you kept your doctors and health care plans after Obamacare went into effect, it has only been settled in forums where every kind of diversity was encouraged except for the diversity of opinion. It may come as a surprise to the proponents that no one seriously denies the climate is changing. The IPCC’s problem arose however, when they discovered that it’s been changing in the wrong direction for 18 years. GOOGLE it. In a single letter, Pal has rationally called his political opponents antirational, jackass, backward, and deniers, while crediting the president with “peaceful diplomacy” of the same kind President Clinton achieved with North Korea, September 21, 1994 - YouTube it at http:// tinyurl.com/mzwfxe9 to hear his comments. How is that for being antirational Mr. Pal? When the well-known climatologist Zack Pal tells you “it’s fact,” it must be because he says so. The problem as I wrote earlier, was Industrial Capitalism, and the solution is International Socialism. In other words,

Who is your all-time favorite artist? Donna DeLeo Gustav Klimt. And of course, Picasso. Klimt because of his brilliant use of color and for the beautiful textures he created in his paintings. It was so convincing it was as if you would touch the painting and feel the texture. And his subject matter was very emotional. Michael Rikon Jackson Pollock. The freedom of his expressionism is what makes him my favorite. The way he made his art with total freedom and abandon, listening to Jazz while he worked in his studio. He was inspiring. Don’t ask my wife, but I love to paint occasionally. Shali Sanders I think I’d have to say Michelangelo. So much of the best of art, of all time, sprouts from him. The beautiful drawing, the angels and the bodies and the perspective, the spirituality. My father was an artist and I’m an artist. I’ve always loved Michelangelo. Pat Wood Monet. I’ve always loved his paintings. When I was in France I saw his Water Lilies at his garden in Giverny, where he painted them. I can’t remember the first time I saw them but it was quite early. I remember seeing them when I was in school. In general I like the Impressionists.
the solution to weather is the transfer of wealth from the merely wealthy and middle class to the super wealthy - which is the way it should be. Take Al Gore who is nearing billionaire status, peddling his fictions while wearing a Nobel around his neck, for a film that’s been entirely debunked, imagine, with the unforgiving measurements of the climate. More or less the same way Barry Soetoro’s legacy is being debunked by his historic nonperformance allowing for the blowing up the entire Mideast, abandoning the China Seas and parts of Europe, while abandoning America’s friends as he sucks up to our enemies for more of the same. I won’t raise the $18 Trillion debt, I mean, to quote Hillary about the deaths of the American ambassador in Benghazi: “What Difference Does It Make?” One can argue that there has been a quarter degree temperature rise during the last century, not to mention a quintupling of the earth’s population. I recommend therefore to Pal and Zizelis to try an experiment to test climate science in the most fundamental sense. Get in bed with four young women instead of one old one, and see if the room temperature heated up more than it used to. Amazing how this test works. It works in reduction as well as on a large scale. Add to this picture several billion cows, sheep, goats and farting chickens, the friction of Al Gore’s fat
thighs rubbing together, and maybe, just maybe, the IPCC can explain that quarter degree temperature rise without having to lie, coerce and threaten dissidents and defraud the entire planet about a “science fiction” they have never been able to explain convincingly to any person with an IQ over 50.

On The Ball Hi Kitty and Jessica, You certainly did a super, super job in today’s Independent, with the front page Arts photo/headline about HT2FF’s upcoming screening of “Iris,” and the jump on page B4 with the article and two more photos. It really looks great. And you’re right on the ball, because maybe you saw that the whole last page of the New York Times Magazine this past Sunday was a photo and interview with Iris Apfel about this new film. Some of us on the HT2FF team who will be at Bay Street Theater on Sunday are planning to wear the big jewelry and round-framed glasses that characterized Iris’s style. I’ll be at the front desk. And thanks also for the blue box last week about the April 13 League of Women Voters forum on school mergers. Thanks again so much. ARLENE HINKEMEYER

To Protect Plum Island
Congressman Lee Zeldin last week announced that he reintroduced legislation to protect Plum Island, previously sponsored by his predecessor, Congressman Tim Bishop. Situated between the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay, Plum Island is cherished by the local community, not only as an essential resource for research, but also for its abundance in cultural, historical, ecological, and natural resources. HR 1887 will reverse a 2008 law that mandated the public sale of Plum Island by the federal government to the highest bidder, allowing for the continuation of the research and conservation efforts of the facility. The sale was originally agreed to in order to offset the cost of the $1.2 billion that would be spent to
build a new facility, the Bio-and-Agro Defense Facility (NBAF) in Kansas. However, due to the costs associated with the cleanup and closure of Plum Island, and because of Southold Town zoning restrictions, the federal government would receive little to no compensation for the sale of Plum Island. Con gressman Ze ldin said, “Plum Island offers Long Island a unique research and environmental resource that should be preserved for generations to come. I have always supported keeping Plum Island open on Long Island and am fighting hard in Congress to do just that. I look forward to working with my colleagues from across the aisle, especially here in the tri-state area, as well as local environmental groups, to get this bill passed in the 114th Congress.”

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard
Going Down For The Third (and Last) Time 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, poor fine motor skills and
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.
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 a USCGAux Cold Water team, we all received a workshop on a developing 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: 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 in 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 15-20 percent of all drowning are “dry drowning’s.” 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 ol’ 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, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing . . .”

All they need now is the money. “Our bottleneck is funding,’ said Randy Parsons of the East Hampton Deer and Tick Foundation. Since last year, his group has been working to implement a four poster deer treatment program to East Hampton. Designed with feeding stations that attracted deer, then apply tickicide to the animals as they feed, the program has been underway in Shelter Island for several years. Parsons reported this week that the foundation has submitted an application to set up sites at Barcelona State Park, Chatfield’s Hole Town Park, Peach Farm Lane Reserve in the Northwest, Camp Blue Bay in Springs and the Devon Highlands. The Girl Scouts were given permission to set up four stations at Blue Bay and the town appears poised to give permission to place stations at Chatfield’s and Peach Farm Lane. The group is continuing to consider sites in East Hampton Village. Pa r s o n s a l s o r e p o r t e d $100,000 in state funds have been secured for capital costs, but they’re not available yet. ”It appears that the only way to get Four Posters in the field during 2015 will be for the East Hampton Deer and Tick Foundation, Inc., to pay for the feeding stations and all of the operating costs (estimated at $4000 per feeding station per year),” he wrote in an email update this week.

Buzz Aids Southampton Little League In the spirit of community collaboration and teamwork taught through youth sports Buzz Chew Chevrolet is supporting Southampton Little League through the Chevy Youth Baseball Program. This sponsorship will include both monetary and equipment donations during the 2015 youth baseball season. Chevy Youth Baseball is a grassroots initiative that establishes a positive relationship between local dealers and the communities they serve. The dealership is sponsoring Southampton Little League as a part of Chevrolet’s nation-wide commitment to support youth sports, one community at a time. Over the course of the season, Buzz will donate equipment to the league which may include: equipment bags, baseballs, softballs, catcher’s gear, batting helmets, ball buckets, umpire’s equipment, coach’s kits, break away bases, bat racks, batting tees and first aid kits. “We are looking forward to a great season with Southampton Little League that will be filled with exciting games and an enhanced experience for the teams through the equipment and cash donations,” Bryon Chew said. “Chevy Youth Baseball is just one example of how committed our dealership is to supporting the youth and families in our community.” The 2015 program will provide assistance to approximately 300 organizations in the Northeastern region and Chevrolet dealers will contribute over $450,000 in monetary and equipment donations.

Bonac Takes Two Of Three
Independent / James J. Mackin
By Rick Murphy
Persistence pays off. The East Hampton baseball team got off to a rocky start this season, but rebounded to take two of three from Amityville last week to move out of the League VII gutter. On April 14, playing on the road, Bonac edged the Warriors 7-6 thanks to the exploits of Kyle McKee, who did it on the mound and at the plate. The senior hurled a complete game, yielded only five hits, and struck out 10 on the mound. At the plate he slammed a homerun and a double, good for three runsbatted-in. Brady Yusko went 2-3 for the winners. Last Wednesday, playing at home, Bonac exploded for an 11-5 victory. This time it was Phil Zablotsky doing the pitching honors. He struck out 10, allowed only seven
hits, and went the distance. Yusko led the attack with two hits, two runs, and two ribbies. The Warriors, back at home Friday, eked out a 6-5 win despite another home run by McKee. Bayport/Blue Point leads League VII with a 6-0 mark; Bonac is 2 and 7. Southold moved ahead of Pierson to take first place in League IX by sweeping Port Jefferson last week, including a 10-7 win on the road Thursday. Alex Poliwada brought the big lumber with him, clubbing two homers. Pat MacFarland singled home the winning run. A day earlier, playing at home, the Settlers pounded Port Jeff 10-2. MacFarland lined three hits in as many at bats and also earned the win by throwing a complete game seven hitter. Liam Walker went 2-3 including a triple. Southold is 8-1. Pierson improved to 7-2 by taking out Greenport on the road
Thursday, 6-1. Johnny Chisholm earned the W and also drilled two hits including a triple and plated three runs. James Sherry went 2 for 3. But the Porters won a day earlier, 8-4. Knocking the Whalers out of a first place tie. Matt Tuthill and John Drinkwater combined for five hits. Pierson won the opener of the series 13-2. In League VIII Mattituck and
Babylon are on a collision course, both with 9-0 marks as the two teams prepare to square off this week. Mattituck swept Mercy by a combined 34-6 margin last week. In League VI action Westhampton moved within one-half game of first place by beating Islip twice, 5-1 and 8-4, last week. For complete baseball schedules visit NETPLAY.com.

11 acres of open space. The second piece is some seven acres, plus a building, described in the public hearing notice as a “residence/barn” and was assessed as a residence by the town assessor’s office. A building? Hay, wait a minute. “You can’t buy buildings with CPF money unless you tear them down,” Assemblyman Fred Thiele, who wrote the legislation, said this week. The only exceptions to the prohibition are landmark structures. A year ago, the opinions bureau echoed the statement, according to minutes obtained by The Independent. Discussing the purchase of buildings for recreation use, the minutes note, Thiele, along with member Kevin McDonald said, “the purchasing of buildings should be avoided at all costs.” As to the use of CPF on agricultural buildings, the minutes report, “It was again reiterated that Towns should not be purchasing buildings (they should be segmented out).” The town’s appointed member of the opinions bureau, Zack Cohen, also sent the town board a letter cautioning against the purchase of a building with CPF money. “I think an adjustment should be made,” Thiele said this week. The town ought to repay the CPF for the cost of the building, and purchase it with general funds, he said. Giving an example of how it was accomplished correctly, the assemblyman pointed to the Poxabogue purchase, where the land was bought with CPF money and the building paid for out of Southampton Town’s general fund.
Stirrup Questions Minutes from the same April 25, 2014 meeting report concern about “blended uses” on CPF properties. An accessory building to agricultural use may be acceptable, members agreed. But the mammoth 8137 square foot structure at what’s been dubbed Amagansett Farm hardly seems “accessory,” a word that calls to mind small sheds. This “barn” was on a separate parcel, and boasts a commercial-style kitchen, plus a half dozen bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The town has since merged the two parcels. Super visor Larr y Cantwell believes it is an accessory structure to agriculture. “It’s a barn,” he insisted. “Are you saying that if we get the opportunity to acquire farmland with a barn on it, we shouldn’t acquire it? . . . if we acquire a farm and a building that’s used for agricultural purposes, I see no reason why we shouldn’t.” He

described the structure as a barn designed for horses with stalls on the lower level plus additional space on top floors. “It’s set up as a stable,” he said. A stable where the floors of the stalls are tile. The town board moved forward with the purchase just days after the bureau met. (Cantwell said he never received a written opinion from the bureau.) By last summer, officials had already received bids from potential users. They ran the gamut from putting greens to a cooperative farm. Eyebrows around town are shooting skyward at some of the proposed uses for the building including renting office space, housing farm workers, and serving as venue for an array of classes and events (that will make money for tenants offering as little as $6000 a year in rent). Thiele groaned when the list of potential activities was read to him. He called them “pretty far afield” of CPF’s intent. Cantwell said he had not studied the bids yet; board members Sylvia Overby and Peter Van Scoyoc were tasked with the chore. Last Thursday night during the town board’s regular meeting, Amagansett resident Elaine Jones – she once offered to pay the town $10,000 to leave the property in its current picturesque state – provided what could be a solution: segment out the building and use it to build a new senior citizens center. The current center is dilapidated and overcrowded, she reminded. The town could sell the land where the existing center is located – commercial property on Springs Fireplace Road that’s fetching a pretty penny – and likely make enough money to cover the cost of the segmentation and renovations to the “beautiful space,” she said. Cantwell said he’s not prepared to make any decisions about segmenting out the building. If it’s used for agricultural purposes, he believes it’s a correct use of CPF money. However, the supervisor said that if the community feels the barn/residence should be used for another non-CPF compliant purpose, he hasn’t closed the door on buying it back with general funds. Exactly how the building will be used is still an open question. “The community has yet to weigh in on how the property and building should be used,” Cantwell said. He reminded, “We acquired the property with strong community support.” The documents for the grand jury must be delivered by next week. Exactly how the DA will use them is also still an open question.
