Spring has sprung at long last, and one of the top signs of the season is the bounty of yard sales signs springing up all over area neighborhoods.

They were everywhere last weekend and so were bargain hunters eager to turn someone’s trash into their treasure.

Individuals hosted front yard sales as did local organizations. Save Second House, Inc. hosted a community sale and “doggie social” on the grounds of the museum on Saturday, while another community yard sale was held in Montauk’s neighbor to the west, in Amagansett at Miss Amelia’s Cottage.

SUMMER LAMENT, OR THE DELLA FEMINA CURSE I publish this column every year as a public service to make sure your friends and relatives will think twice before they send you an invitation that will screw you out of a precious summer weekend.

I must admit it is harder to write my annual summer lament column this year because it was such a frigging cold ugly winter. Spring no longer exists because we now go from 28 degrees one day in May to 84 degrees the next.

Remember, you can’t blame the miserable cold weather on Global “Warming” anymore. The contradiction of freezing your ass off during a “warming” was too great, so now the new phrase is “Climate Change.”

But Climate Change or not, Memorial Day is just days away. So here goes: Why do they do it?

Why do our friends and relatives destroy the summer for us? Why can’t they get married in February?

Why do they choose the middle of summer to have birthdays, anniversaries, Bar Mitzvahs, family, college, high school and even nursery school reunions? That’s not all. Frankly, some of them are

thoughtless enough to die in June, July and August, and there goes another summer weekend.

I promise that if it’s possible, when it’s time for me to go, I will go on life support until some rainy Friday morning in January so that my mourners can bury me early in the morning and still enjoy a three-day weekend. That’s the kind of generous guy I am.

Now I know you’re wondering what I’m ranting about, since you’re on top of the world because it looks like another endless summer ahead. Let’s just see how endless it really is.

If you work Monday to Friday like me, that leaves you with around 13 summer Saturdays and Sundays, plus three long holiday weekends.

So from the minute you’re reading this, summer weekends are a total of about 35 days.

Now you know that at least 9 or 10 of these days will be cold, rainy days where no matter how hard you try to avoid it you’ll end up arguing with your spouse. All a man has to say is, “No, I don’t

think it’s romantic to freeze my behind off walking in the rain on the beach. Why don’t we stay in bed and fool around?” and that’s when the pouting starts. So write off 10 miserable days to weather and you’re left with 25 days.

Sound like a lot?

I bet ever yone reading this already has one lost weekend coming up when your Aunt Matilda is celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary and she and your Uncle Benny would be brokenhearted if you don’t show up on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to their house in Brooklyn or the Bronx or Westchester or wherever the hell they live.

So, now you’re down to 23 days.

If you’re young enough to have children, that means you’re stuck with a trip to some summer camp with an Indian . . . er . . . er . . .

Native American name in Maine or Massachusetts, in the middle of what always turns out to be the sunniest, most beautiful weather weekend of the summer.

This is where you are sentenced to spend the weekend admiring neatly made bunk beds and ceramic ashtrays (which in these politically correct days have gone from being called ashtrays to being called “candy” dishes to just being called “dishes,” now that candy is being seen by some politicians as being worse than cigarettes).

Show me a camp that is wise enough to schedule parents’ visiting days on a Monday and Tuesday and I will show you a camp that deserves the exorbitant amount of money

IN THE NEWS

they get to guard your kids for the summer. An amount of money, I might add, that is more than it took, a few short years ago, to cover the tuition that would get a child through four years of an Ivy League college.

If your children are grown it’s even worse. They have children and all their children are having birthday parties in town in July, where you will find yourself overcome by heat while you’re surrounded by 20 sticky five-yearolds playing musical chairs.

What frosts me is the weather.

Did you ever notice that every one of the weekends you have to go to a family event is beautiful? The sun is shining. The sky is blue. And you are stuck in some disgusting catering hall, or, worse, drinking warm white wine out of a plastic cup in some relative’s backyard in White Plains.

Which brings me to summer weddings in the city. They must be banned.

There are some facts that people who drag their friends away from the beach for their wedding must be made aware of. Jerry Seinfeld, an East Hampton resident, had a message for all the newly engaged couples: “Nobody wants to go to your wedding! We are not excited like you are.” Mr. Seinfeld is so so right. The only people who must attend a summer wedding are the bride and groom, their respective parents, the best man and the maid of honor and maybe a priest or a rabbi. All the other guests are hostages who may be smiling but inside they are seething because they have had one of their precious summer weekends screwed up.

I remind every dewy-eyed couple in my family that in the summer it’s bad luck to get married any place west of Westhampton. I remind them of the famous Della Femina curse, which is still going strong. I have, in my life, attended four weddings that took place on a summer holiday weekend (three Memorial Day, one Labor Day) and must report, in all honesty, that not one of these couples is still married. Pass the word – the marriages of people who screw up my holiday weekends are doomed.

Knobel Eyes Indie Nod

as town trustee and has been the GOP chair more than once over the years.

The Indies hold public screenings for candidates for town offices. This year the screenings took place over the course of two nights last week and a third this week. Supervisor Larry Cantwell was on hand for the second night of screening last Wednesday.

Yesterday, the screening committee for town Dems recommended

nominating Cantwell for re-election.

A Knobel/ Cantwell race offers voters an interesting slate to choose from, and a chance to go back to the future for recycled candidates.

In addition to his current stint as supervisor Cantwell served on the town board in the ‘80s, while Knobel, who served in the mid-90s, is also back looking for an elected office.

Testament to small town politics, Knobel’s one-time running mate Pat Mansir is now co-chair of the local Indies and was among committee members questioning Knobel last week. She’s running for town trustee.

The local Independence Party traditionally hosts public screenings

What’s 20 years, give or take?

As reported first online by The Independent Tom Knobel, who served on the town board during the 1990s, screened for town supervisor with the East Hampton Independence Party committee. Currently the chair of the local Republican committee, Knobel served on the town board under the late Cathy Lester. He’s also had stints

for town offices; they vote privately before designating which hopefuls get that valuable extra line. Screenings for town offices held by local Republican and Democratic committees are kept hush-hush. As town GOP leader, Knobel said he invites any prospective candidates to come forward, as the process is still underway. The Republicans’ designating convention will be held next Tuesday. Democrats will hold their convention tomorrow night at St. Michael’s Church at 7 PM. The public is invited to join in, with refreshments served at 6:30 PM. Incumbent assessors Jeanne Nielsen and Jill Massa screened, as did incumbent highway superintendent Steve Lynch and Town Justice Lisa Rana. Lynch, Rana, and Massa, who traditionally run on the GOP line will receive cross-endorsements from the Dems who support a re-election bid for Nielsen.

Democratic Councilwoman Sylvia Overby and Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc also were on hand looking for the Independence nomination for their re-election bids. They’re expected to be designated by their own party tomorrow night.

Newcomer to the local political scene Amos Goodman, who’s announced his candidacy for the county legislature, showed up to show support for Knobel. He’s the Republican candidate, and, since the county designation is selected by county Independence Party honchos, Goodman won’t screen with individual local committees.

On May 5, Southampton Town Councilwoman Bridget Fleming received the green light from county Dems to make a run for the legislative seat Jay Schneiderman will vacate due to term limits.

Joshua Davidson and Adam Mamay are also fresh faces stepping up. They’re town trustee hopefuls and yes, Mamay is the son of Trustee Clerk Diane McNally. Joining the trio to screen last Tuesday night were incumbents Sean McCaffrey and Deb Klughers. Tyler Armstrong, Nat Miller and Steve Lynch, Jr. (yep, his dad’s the highway supe) also screened to be part of the town trustees.

Attention: Business and Homeowners You May be Eligible for a Septic System Rebate The State may be allocating up to $100 million dollars to the East End to upgrade residential septic systems.

There are 81,000 aging cesspools on the East End that are leeching harmful chemicals into our bays and groundwater. New systems can cost anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000.

Don’t be fooled by cesspool company gimmicks. Treating cesspools and drywells by aeration and acid methods to create temporary pathways for drainage, in fact drives pollutants downward that accelerates the failure of your drainage system as well as harms sensitive groundwater aquifers.

With ESi, there may be no need to replace your septic system and still qualify for a rebate. Their time honored method will completely extract the accumulated greases and sediment by excavating a cavity and removing the pollutants down to clean native sand. ESi will then introduce new sand to create a filtering buffer and support structural integrity.

Bays Got The Blues

By Emily Toy

Independent / Syntax

Sag Harbor Elementary School students recently participated in a photography workshop with photographer Clarence Sheppard. The photography program is now in its 11th year and is part of the district’s art curriculum. (Above, the fourth grade class with Sheppard.)

A biotoxin was found in the marine life of Southampton Town waters last week, prompting state officials to shut down harvesting of shellfish and meat-eating gastropods.

Although the closure is temporary, the action was taken by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in an effort to protect public health.

The closure impacts about 3900 acres in the Town of Southampton, covering all underwater lands in Shinnecock Bay that lie west of the southbound lanes of the Ponquogue Bridge and east of

the western side of the Post Lane Bridge in Quogue.

According to a press release, the action was taken after the DEC determined that shellfish collected from monitoring sites in Weesuck Creek in Southampton and Meetinghouse Creek (Riverhead) tested positive for saxitoxin, a marine biotoxin that causes paralytic shellfish poisoning.

Studies show the toxins responsible for most shellfish poisonings are water-insoluble, heat and acid-stable, and ordinary cooking methods do not eliminate the toxins. Some shellfish can store saxitoxin for several weeks, but others have been known to store the toxin for up to two years.

“Carnivorous gastropods feed on shellfish and may accumulate biotoxins at levels that are hazardous to human health,” the press release said. “The DEC will continue to monitor for the presence of biotoxins in shellfish at 13 monitoring locations around Long Island and implement closures as necessary to protect public health.”

Areas will re-open as soon as possible based on the results of laboratory analyses that will be conducted by the DEC over the next several weeks. As long as the biotoxin levels make shellfish and gastropods hazardous for use as food, the underwater lands will stay closed.

Tower Rankles Springs Residents

By Rick Murphy

A “m o n s t r o u s n e w c e l l tower” erected by the Springs Fire Department on its Fort Pond Boulevard property has drawn the ire of nearby residents.

After a public meeting Monday night at the firehouse with the fire commissioners presiding, a spokesman for the neighbors said they will likely file suit in an effort to bring it down.

The 160-foot monolith hovers over nearby homes and is visible for miles, critics say. It was erected without public notice about three weeks ago, although a similar proposal was abandoned after overwhelming community opposition was voiced.

Monday morning neighborhood residents found flyers in their mailboxes urging them to mobilize that evening at the firehouse, where a previously scheduled FD meeting was set to take place. About 50 showed up, and the commissioners went around the room, allowing whoever wanted to speak.

When is was their turn, the fire officials told the crowd they needed the tower for better communication, and that it had

been approved by the East Hampton Town Building Inspector, which is the only approval needed.

Not so, said David N. Kelley, an attorney. “New York State law is filled with cases that say [the department] has to weigh all of the interests before being granted an exemption.”

Kelley pointed out the department never conducted a state environmental review. Fire commissioners said they were doing one now.

A full blown environmental review, though, will reveal among other things, that the department never looked at other alternatives, like a smaller pole, for example, Kelley opined.

Kelley said the pole as it stands now “is in violation of seven to 10 zoning ordinances.” It is also an eyesore that sits adjacent to an historic district, can be seen from Accabonac Harbor, and that there are five cell towers in the area already, with another coming soon.

“The Springs Fire Commissioners quietly had the tower put up even though they agreed NOT to build it when our community protested nine years ago,” the flyer, which was unsigned, read.

Independent/James J. Mackin

According to published reports David Glennon, the district’s chief commissioner, said the tower is needed because the department has difficulty communicating with its volunteers – phone reception is notoriously poor in Springs.

But Kelley said the fact that the tower will be a significant source of income is its main attraction to the fire district. Space on the tower can be sold to cellphone companies and the like. “They are being pulled by the nose by a cell phone carrier.”

Some of the guys at the dealership want to do a “Men of Buzz Chew” calendar.

The women in the office told them “You won’t get past March.”

Buzz always encourages the guys to find new ways to get out in the community to tell people about the dealership. Unfortunately, some ideas are better than others. The best way to really see the difference is to simply stop by and see for yourself.

Town Board Told To Do More, Or Less

By Kitty Merrill

Don’t hurt the little guy and keep your eyes on the attorneys.

That was the message speakers gave the East Hampton Town Board last Thursday night, as airport-related issues continued to dominate public conversation.

On tap were a resolution retaining outside counsel in a federal action against the town, and a public hearing on a local law setting penalties for pilots violating the new laws that are the subject of the lawsuit.

Pilot Kathryn Slye was early to the podium with a plea: don’t ground us. She noted that throughout the process of crafting restrictions at the airport, town officials have repeatedly espoused a desire to refrain from harming small, recreational pilots.

New curfews with penalties that start at $1000 for the first violation and hit

Rubenstein, a veteran campaign strategist and Keeshan, a planning board member and Montauk realtor, both screened for town board. Taylor, Bloecker and Klopman screened for town trustee.

In East Hampton there are an estimated 1000 members of the Independence Party, making the third party line a valuable one for candidates. Committee members plan to announce their designees later this week. Check our website, www. indyeastend.com for updates.

$10,000 for the third will hurt the little guy more than millionaires flying in on noisy choppers.

Planes can often be diverted due to factors outside pilots’ control. Slye wondered whether the town would consider creating a waiver process for locally-based operators, or implement variances similar to those reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals.

The local law also contains a provision designed to ensure the effect of the restrictions are evaluated, as requested by members of the public. The law calls for an evaluation after September. Charles Ehren of the Quiet Skies Coalition thinks there will continue to be a “substantial” number of complaints once the season kicks in, even if the measures go into

comments expanded to items beyond the hearing and resolution, Andy Sabin reported a petition urging the town to undertake promised maintenance garnered over 900 signatures. Signers don’t believe the town is making a sincere effort to keep the airport open.

On the other end of the spectrum, Walker and Jeff Bragman provided a father/son tag team commentary, with both thanking the town board for implementing restrictions at the facility. Walker said he was proud of the town for “putting Main Street ahead of Wall Street,” while his father urged board members to do more. The curfews and landing restrictions are a good start, but, “I’m challenging you to do more,” he said.

effect (They may not if the injunction sought by opponents is granted).

He’d rather see evaluation during the summer months.

Ehren isn’t too warm and fuzzy about the town’s hired counsel, either.

He noted the firm Kaplan, Kirsch, and Rockwell was retained by the last administration to offer airportrelated legal advice, an apparent cause for concern. A second speaker, Susan McGraw Keber, opined the advice flip-flopped depending upon the board’s majority. Both suggested new counsel may be in order, with Ehren warning that if Peter Kirsch’s response to the new lawsuits isn’t forceful enough, “You’re going to be hearing from us.”

Through his family’s foundation, Wake Forest parent Andrew Sabin supports environmental programs around the world. His son Sam attends the university.

When announcing the Presidential Chair initiative in 2012, Wake Forest President Nathan Hatch outlined his vision for providing significant support for faculty through endowed chairs that give ongoing support for professors in these prestigious positions.

This initiative — made possible through Wake Will: The Campaign for Wake Forest — provides a University match to the first 10 donors to establish an endowed Presidential Chair of at least $1 million, effectively providing the equivalent faculty support realized from a $2 million endowed fund.

“A n e n d o w e d c h a i r i s a magnificent gift to a university because it supports outstanding faculty in perpetuity, it is the highest academic award that can be bestowed on a faculty member, and it is an enduring tribute to the person who established it,” said Hatch. “Universities with endowed chairs have a clear advantage in recruiting and retaining the most

Public Preserve Private For Now

By Kitty Merrill

You’re all invited to Dolphin Drive to cast your gaze upon the majesty of the South Flora Nature Preserve in Amagansett on the Napeague Stretch. All you have to do is don your handy jet pack or get somebody to drop you off on the corner, because you can’t park there.

Last Thursday night, the town board voted to prohibit parking on Dolphin Drive, making South Flora the first waterfront property preserved with Community Preservation Funds that doesn’t provide public access.

The vote was held upon advice from Town Attorney Elizabeth Vail. She explained the measure is necessary to correct a defect in the town code.

Last year residents of the neighborhood bordered by Dolphin Drive were horrified to see new signs allowing parking by town permit spring up along the western edge of the preserve. They contend parking has always been prohibited at the site and predicted chaos should unfettered parking be permitted in their quiet waterfront community. A resident of the area sued the town, looking to revert the situation back to its previous exclusionary status.

Vail said a records search failed to turn up any resolutions to justify the move to permitted parking.

While the town code has called for parking by resident permit since the 1990s, no resolution enacting it could be found; it doesn’t even appear to have been filed with the state. According to Vail, enacting the no parking rule will better enable her to defend the town’s case in the suit.

A management plan for the nature preserve was completed months ago, but has yet to be reviewed by the town board. It calls

for limited parking by permit along Dolphin Drive. Vail said that after the board has a chance to review the plan and hold a hearing on it, board members may vote to reverse last Thursday night’s decision.

Until then, the public preserve purchased with public monies will be a de facto private one.

During public discussion of the measure, one Dolphin Drive resident invited the public to come to his neighborhood and see the vulnerable habitat. A second speaker, opposed to the de facto privatization of the public property said she’d love to, but there’s nowhere to park.

RICK’S SPACE Don’t Sweat It We’re of the age where exercise becomes increasingly important.

Unfortunately (for me) our friends are all up in it, and they like to do it together, you, know, as a couple.

Karen has this vision. The two of us, biking to the village, biking to the beach, biking to the bar — oh wait, that’s my vision.

I just can’t do the bicycle thing. In the old days all the kids had a bike.

We used it for transportation. “Mom, I’m going over to Bobby’s house,” I’d say, getting on my bike.

“OK, come home after dark and take the super highway,” my mom would reply. “Wear dark clothes!” she shouted as I was leaving.

Nowadays bicycle riders are more concerned with distance. “Lets go to the beach and back . . . we’ll try to do it in under 90 minutes.”

Why? We are here, now. In 90 minutes we’ll be back here again.

Why don’t we just stay here?

Then there is the outfit. Bicyclists nowadays dress like Olympic skiers.

They wear skintight orange and

purple clothes made of rubber.

That means body fluids are trapped inside, along with other bodily functions like gas. The last thing I want to do is pedal my ass off for 90 minutes, sweat profusely, and then have to take that suit off.

Then there is the helmet, which looks suspiciously like the head of a fly. There is just no cogent reason to make bicycle riders look as ridiculous as possible, especially when they smell bad, too.

Karen continually purchases bikes at yard sales although we don’t have a garage. Usually the bike lingers in our living room for a few months until she gets another one, and then we put it outside by the side of the house covered with a tarp, and then the tarp blows off, and then it rains and snows, and then I take the bike to the dump.

Now she wants to go walking, together, briskly. Her cardiologist apparently told her exercise is only effective if you do it vigorously enough to really get your heart

This is difficult for me to come to grips with. I played a lot of ball in school -- baseball, soccer, basketball, and track to be exact.

These are competitive sports. Boys who grimace and curse at each other and oftentimes tussle and tangle while the girls watch and pretend to care.

I can’t come to grips with the fact that I am now reduced to walking with my wife. Worse (for her) is that I would have to throw a couple elbows her way if she tried to get

ahead of me.

She would be doubly mad at me if it weren’t for this unfortunate malady I’ve contracted, well sort of.

There was this local official who will remain nameless who for years held a high paying government job.

Over the years I would often call him for a quote or information for a story I was writing.

He was never at work. His secretary would say, “Oh, he won’t be in this week, his Lyme’s is acting up.”

I had no idea what that meant at the time. I thought he was drinking too many gin gimlets. When I finally caught up with him he explained Lyme’s disease. “It’s terrible. Most days I just want to stay in bed. I don’t feel like doing anything. I just want to sleep.”

Holy Crap! My eureka moment! I must have Lyme disease! No wonder I don’t want to wear a rubber suit and smell bad! No wonder I don’t want to walk around the block with my wife, trying to trip her so I can get ahead. I’m sick.

Still, for my own good I gotta figure out a way to get the old ticker pounding again. I know! I’ll go to the horse track.

EDITORIAL

Life Affirming Life is joyful these days.

We have emerged from one of the most dismal winters in East End history. Usually we get our share of the cold and snow, of course, but the record snowfall in January crippled us, it seemed, for months.

Animals suffered and died, businesses were paralyzed, and even the hardiest of us probably entertained thought of escaping to the south. It seemed it would never end, but of course, it has.

Last weekend was a flurry of activity. Fairs, festivals, yard sales, bustling nurseries, Mother’s Day traffic – all under the cloak of a warm sun, reminded anew exactly what it is about this place that draws us to it.

It is truly life affirming to see the birds, and yes, even the weekenders – enjoying life again. Even the bugs are a welcome sight. The bees are buzzing and ants, as if by magic, appeared on more than a few kitchen counters.

It is beautiful here, and it was a winter wonderland, right? Right?

Come next weekend, perhaps we’ll all remember the solitude we felt in February and cast it in a kinder light.

Independent VOICES

Eerily Similar Dear Editor, The unfortunate attitude in East Hampton Town of, “I have mine, but you can’t have yours” has reached another level, with residents of Dolphin Drive in Napeague pressuring the town board to ban parking (and therefore access) adjacent to the South Flora Nature Preserve.

This situation is eerily similar to the controversy surrounding the East Hampton Airport, where residents who bought property there (on the cheap) are now agitating about steel birds soaring over their rooftops.

The town would do well to follow through on the recommendations of previous administrations and committees, whereby a parking area would be created

within the confines of the preserve itself.

Short of that, I may be telling my grandson that he will never see the South Flora Reserve unless we land a boat on the beach and scale the dunes.

PERRY DURYEA III

Issues Dear Editor, More, much more, importantly the question is where is the action against YEAR-ROUND ILLEGAL HOUSING? With its accompanied quality of life issues and fiscal issues relative to hospitals, schools, property taxes, etc. That is the more pressing and negative issue still not addressed by the East Hampton Town’s Office of Ordinance “Enforcement.”

JAMAGANSETT

A Real Problem Dear Mr. Murphy, Without making value judgments or

Speaking of Weather The storm that dumped 30 inches of snow on us was only the latest in a troubling pattern of extreme weather events. There was Sandy before that, and the killer Tsunami, Katrina, and many more. Just last week tropical storm Ana spun up the East Coast – in the first week of May. Tornadoes smashed houses from South Dakota to Texas over the weekend.

For some reason Global Warming has become a debatable, political issue, which is rather silly. Scientists are clear, and weather and temperature readings prove, that we are indeed in the midst of a climate changing trend, inevitable in the face of the ever-growing population and industrialization of our planet.

According to the National Wildlife Foundation, “Global warming is making hot days hotter, rainfall and flooding heavier, hurricanes stronger and droughts more severe.

This intensification of weather and climate extremes will be the most visible impact of global warming in our everyday lives. It is also causing dangerous changes to the landscape of our world, adding stress to wildlife species and their habitat.”

Whatever we call it, let’s hope we are spared Mother Nature’s wrath.

assigning guilt to any of the parties, I believe the April 29 article, “Cathy Cahill Appeal Moves Forward,” provides insight into a vexing land-use problem: Individuals who know how to “game” the system can “sell” their “gaming skills” for a “cut” of the profits after an “accommodation” (i.e., zoning change) is approved.

Vexation arises because once a zoning change is approved, land transfers or sales aren’t tracked by planning staff. However, any “surprise” in the chain of real-estate transfers after approval is correctable if a Town Board is willing to revisit devious requests for zoning exceptions that mask back-room deals.

As illustrated by the article, the law protects “accommodations.” I can say with certainty that in Southampton a “gamer” can offer lucrative contracts to board members who approve zoning changes, proving that one doesn’t know until after the fact whether a zoning change may have been made in the service of a deal. This is the real problem with land-

use decision-making, not whether a board member is a Republican or a Democrat.

SUSAN CERWINSKI

Millionaire?

Dear Editor, I’m writing this letter to the Town of Southampton Assessors Office to thank them for making me and my neighbors millionaires.

For years I have been buying lottery tickets trying to become a millionaire with little success. And now with one stroke of the computer keys the Assessor in his infinite wisdom has made my dreams come true.

They have increased the assessed value of my house from $827,000 to $1,676,000, an increase of $849,000, which is more than the original assessment.

If anyone wants to see the newest millionaires row just take a ride down Pine Neck Avenue and look to the left.

If I was reading this and it was written by someone else I would wonder how any elected official could come up with something so ridiculous. I realize there are new houses being built in our area worth millions of dollars but why should our properties be compared to them?

We bought our house 36 years ago for $30,000 and our recent assessment was $827,000, which I thought was pretty fair after 36 years.

This was written as a warning to everyone that owns a home in Southampton, it can happen to you.

Brookhavenizing Southampton!

By Richard Amper

public ownership or management, current or future. The Southampton Town Board gave away an irrational amount of residential density for nothing. It sets a noxious precedent of allowing one neighborhood to pump its wastewater into another neighborhood, allows an untested, unproven water treatment system to be installed without any oversight from any agency, and promises more and more traffic.

Item: Tuckahoe Mega Mall. Traffic on County Road 39 couldn’t get any worse, right? Sure it can! If the Throne-Holst administration has its way, a giant supermarket and retail mall will spring up, dramatically increasing traffic well beyond its current level of paralysis.

Item: The Hills Pine Barrens Golf Resort. Zoning on the site of the proposed “Hills at Southampton” mega golf project was set at one house, per every five buildable acres, for the explicitly-declared purpose of protecting water quality in perhaps the most sensitive watershed in all of Southampton.

What’s now being railroaded through is a mammoth golf resort, catering facility and housing project in the East Quogue Pine Barrens, a state-designated Special Groundwater Protection Area and Critical Environmental Area. This utterly disregards environmental, community character or quality-oflife considerations.

What in Sam Hill is the ThroneHolst administration trying to do to Southampton? In her six years as supervisor of that town, six, high-density development proposals have been promoted that threaten to Brookhavenize Southampton.

Builders with big bucks are delirious with joy. The public is justifiably outraged.

Zoning is intended to protect town residents and town natural resources. Zoning establishes what can be built on a particular parcel of land, and what can’t. But what good is zoning, if the town board simply grants applications for highdensity zone changes including the euphemistic “Planned Development District?” Let’s look at some recent and current examples.

Item: Sandy Hollow Debacle.

Touted as a much needed affordable housing project, a 2.6-acre parcel, zoned R-80 for a single house, will now sprout 28 units of housing, producing twice as much contaminating nitrogen to groundwater as development under pre-existing zoning would have. It won’t make a dent in the town’s need for 3000 units of affordable housing.

Item: Canoe Place Inn – Canal Giveaway. It’s a developer’s plan, containing an illusory benefit in the form of a “rehabilitated” CPI that will have no identifiable indicia of

★

Let’s face it, PDDs and other changes-of-zone, represent g o v e r n m e n t o f , b y, a n d f o r developers. The alleged “community benefits” are usually only efforts to somewhat mitigate the adverse impacts of the over-development proposed.

So, what’s to be done?

Environmentalists, civic leaders and residents who care about preventing in Southampton, the over-development that has urbanized so much of upisland, need to organize to collectively oppose high-density re-zoning, including PDDs. The Throne-Holst administration is ruining Southampton’s rural communities and natural treasures while it undermines already-declining water quality.

Southampton residents must unite town-wide to halt Planned Development Districts and other

The Theodore Roosevelt Award was created more than 50 years ago by the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council to honor those who demonstrate exceptional volunteer commitment to their community hospital.

“We are especially pleased to honor Tom, whose perseverance, energy and expertise helps ELIH continue to fulfill its mission,” Dr. Frank J. Adipietro, Jr., Medical Staff President and fellow Board member said last week. “The award-winning care and essential healthcare services ELIH provides for the North Fork and Shelter Island communities is a testament to his commitment, and hard work over the past 12 years.”

Murray began serving on the Board of Trustees in 1999 and accepted the role of Chairman of the Board in February 2003.

During his tenure, he has actively engaged the Board in all of the major steps necessary to insure the highest of quality care while “rebuilding ELIH from the inside out.” The community has been on the receiving end with a brand new emergency department, the expansion of the imaging department to accommodate state-of-the-art MRI and more mammography, an expanded Ambulator y Care Pavilion, renovation and reequipping of the laboratory, as well as, the addition of acute care beds for behavioral health services -- addiction and psychiatry.

Summer Colony Book

By Emily Toy

Local author Sally Spanburgh, who also serves as Southampton Town’s chair of the Landmarks and Historic Districts Board, will release the newest edition to The History Press’ Landmark series this month, on May 25.

Titled Southampton Cottages of South Main Street, Spanburgh’s book will include photographs of the familiar, large summer homes still found in Southampton Village.

The book, brought to the masses

by Arcadia Publishing, will feature grand landmarks located on South Main Street in Southampton Village that stood the test of time.

Spanburgh will bring her historical and architectural expertise to tell the stories behind the construction of the homes, and the people that once owned them.

In July of 1887, the New York Sun proclaimed Southampton as “the most charming of all small cities by the sea.” It has also been regarded as the Newport of Long Island. South Main Street, the southernmost portion of the second settlement area laid out by the Town of Southampton, largely gave way to second home owners, also known as the summer colony, from 1870 to the 1920s, transforming a street dotted

with colonial homesteads and farmland into one lined shoulder to shoulder with large, architecturally impressive summer homes.

Set to be available at the Southampton Historical Museum, the book is the second in less than two months from the same publisher concerning the “summer colony” concept here on the East End. Last month, Arcadia released Bridgehampton’s Summer Colony, a paperback featuring a collection of old photographs detailing the start of the hamlet being a second home area.

Arcadia Publishing and The History Press are the largest and most comprehensive publisher of local and regional content in the United States. By empowering local history and culture enthusiasts to write local stories for local audiences, the goal is to create exceptional books that are relevant on a local and personal level, enriching the lives of the town or area’s residents, and bring readers closer to the specific community.

The book will be available on Amazon, as well as at the Southampton Historical Museum.

EHHS Bus Trip For Stanford White fans and longtime friends of the East Hampton Historical Society, there will be a special outing on Saturday, May 30.

This is a rare opportunity to visit Stanford White’s own residence, Box Hill, in St. James, Long Island.

The invitation comes from his great-grandsons, Sam White, also an architect, and Daniel White, a lawyer. Daniel and his wife, Betsy, are the fourth generation of the family to occupy the property. At the L.V.I.S. Landmarks Luncheon last November, Sam spoke in detail about his great-grandfather as his own client, and the development of his 78-acre estate between 1885 and 1906. White used Box Hill as a laboratory for many of the innovations that made the firm McKim, Mead, & White probably the most famous American architectural firm of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Stanford White was a larger-than-life character who believed he should live better than his ultra- rich clients, but with no personal fortune of his own this was a challenge.

Nonetheless, over 20 years he tinkered with, redesigned, and enlarged the original 1850 farmhouse into a 15,000-square-foot mansion with barns, cottages, a carriage house, stables, a water tower, gardens, and grounds. The house is essentially unchanged since White’s sensational death in 1906.

On May 30 a chartered motor coach will leave Mulford Farm (10 James Lane) at 3 PM, arriving at Box Hill at 5 PM. The group will be met by the Whites and hear a short introduction from Sam White, tour the house and grounds, and attend a reception. The bus will head back to East Hampton at 7 PM. Tickets cost $200 per person, of which $125 is tax deductible. The group is limited to 20. Email E.H.H.S and send or deliver a check payable to the E.H.H.S. at 101 Main Street, East Hampton, NY 11937. Space is limited.

Westhampton Forges To The Top

How does a team that has flown under the radar all season suddenly find itself atop the League VI standings?

Easy — win nine of 10 games. That’s exactly what the Westhampton Hurricanes have done. Thursday’s 6-4 win over Islip was the latest victory, and the third of the week. A day earlier the locals rocked Sayville, 14-7.

The barrage began on May 4.

Playing Harborfield at home, the Hurricanes employed two pitchers, both of whom were throwing bullets.

Michael Pesce went the first four to earn the win before giving way to Seth Payton, who hurled the final three to record the save. The finale was a comfortable 6-2: the two

pitchers allowed a total of three hits, or as many as James Carbone had for Westhampton – in as many at bats. Oscar Marroquinn went two for three.

Last Wednesday the Hurricanes brought the heavy lumber to Sayville. Pesce lashed three hits good for three ribbies and Nick Arpino went four for four and drove in four runs. Zack Downs earned the victory.

Thursday it was Arpino’s turn on the hill and he responded with a gutsy effort, going six innings and limiting the losers to two earned runs. The locals prevailed, 6-4.

Westhampton, with a 15-3 mark, is tied as of this writing with Comsewogue with a 15-3 record.

The two rivals were to play for

Lady Whalers Moving On The Pierson/Bridgehampton softball team always finds a way and this season is no exception.

Come playoff time, after the requisite amount of thrills and spills, the Lady Whalers get down to business and put their playoff faces on.

On Friday, playing Port Jefferson at home, the locals were all business, winning 8-4 to get a leg up on the upcoming Suffolk County playoffs.

As usual, Sam Duchemin was on the mound to keep the visitors in check, and Sabrina Baum and Alyssa Kneeland led a determined offensive attack, combing for five hits and six runs batted in. The Lady Whalers complete the regular season today at home against Mattituck. Their record as of this writing is 8-6, tied with Mercy for fourth in League VI. Hampton Bays is always a team to be reckoned with come May. On Friday the Baywomen upended Southold at home, 16-4, to run their League VI mark to 10-4. Emma Candelaria earned the win and Katie Picataggio and Laura Zaweski combined for four hits, four ribbies, and four runs scored.

Riverhead, playing in League II, lost at North Babylon 8-3 last Wednesday but will earn a berth in the Class AA playoffs nonetheless.

the title Monday after press time.

Westhampton closes out the regular season today with a home game against Rocky Point.

Alas, Mighty Mattituck has fallen.

The Tuckers were upended at home

by Babylon in a 3-2 heartbreaker, their first loss of the season.

Babylon’s Zach Carmody turned in a masterful effort on the mound, but Mattituck’s Joe Tardif did as well – the two runs were scored on a squeeze play and a sacrifice fly.

Mattituck traveled to Riverhead to take on Mercy the next day and promptly started another streak, crushing the Monarchs 11-0. James Nish was overpowering on the mound. he combined on a three hitter with Victor Proferes. Marcos Perivolaris and Mike Onufrac

combined for six hits.

On Friday the Tuckers improved to 17-1 behind Perivolaris, who not only earned the win but smashed a home run and a double. Joe Dwyer had a monster day, drilling five hits in six at bats including two triples.

Chris Dwyer had four hits including a homer.

The Tuckers, 17-1, are the League VII champions and finish out their regular season at center Moriches.

The Suffolk County playoffs begin this week. Riverhead, playing in League IV, is currently 10-7 and will compete in the Class AA playoffs. Mattituck, the defending Class B champion, should be the top seed this year. Southampton (9-8), is a win away from making the grade as well.

Southold (16-2) in League IX, has clinched the title and will be the top-seeded Class C team. Pierson/ Bridgehampton, 13-5, also earned a berth.

Lions Charity Golf Tournament The Southampton Lions Club raises funds to support the purchase of guide dogs for the visually impaired, among other charities, through its annual golf tournament.

This year the event will take place on June 10 at the Noyac Golf Club on Wildwood Road in Sag Harbor. It has been renamed the Emil Norsic Memorial in memory of the former member who was instrumental in making past tournaments successes.

In addition to the purchase of seeing eye dogs and large print books for local libraries a portion of the proceeds will go to the club’s “Girl Of The Year” scholarship.

There will be a $10,000 Hole In One contest sponsored by Bob Grisnik and Southrifty Drug store, and also prizes for closest to the pin, low gross, low net, and longest drive.

Sponsorships are available and tickets include lunch, 18 holes of golf, a cocktail hour and a sit down dinner.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard

Vessel Afire!

It seems to me that one of the most frightening circumstances to be caught in is a boat afire. It is loaded with highoctane fuel creating toxic smoke, using water to fight the fire can sink the boat, and leaving the boat may entail going into another hostile environment – the cold and unforgiving water. It doesn’t sound like there are many, if any, good alternatives.

Fire prevention professionals say that on average a fire will double in area every five minutes. At that rate, it wouldn’t take long to engulf an entire boat. So, time is of the essence and it is highly unlikely that anyone can get to you in time to assist in the fire suppression. You and your crew, most likely, are it.

Causes of Fires According to many studies such as those conducted by entities like BOAT/US, surprisingly, the engine is not the most frequent source of fires on boats – electricity is.

More than half of boat fires (55 percent) start with wiring or appliance failures. Next come fires started by an overheated engine but they are less than half as likely (24 percent). Less than 10 percent of boat fires start with a fuel leak. Of course, those can reach catastrophic proportions if the fire backs up into the tank itself.

The rest is a mixed bag of “miscellaneous” – dropped match, stove spills, flare “slag” landing on the boat, etc.

An electrical fire such as the one that starts from a frayed/chafed wire is very different from one that

is fed by a malfunctioning inverter or generator. The first is going to act like someone was smoking in bed – material is aflame, but not being fed by the electricity itself.

But it counts as the cause of the fire.

Extinguishers: Who Needs What First, fire extinguishers themselves are classified into “A,” “B,” and “C” types. (There is a type “D” for chemical/combustible metals fires such as would be created by the magnesium in a flare, but I have never seen it successfully used. Just get the flare off the boat -- let the fish below deal with it -- then deal with the fire.)

Here’s the easiest way to remember what they are used for: Use “A” when the fire creates ash – paper, bedding, clothes, wood, etc.

Use “B” when the subject afire can boil – “POLs” or petroleum, oils and lubricants.

Use “C” when a charge runs through it – electronic equipment.

Fire extinguishers also come in sizes (pounds of suppressant).

For the private boater, size 1 (I) or 2 (II) are the most common and manageable. The question is really, ‘How many do I need for my size boat?’

All powerboats, except outboards, less than 26 feet and of open construction must carry one B-I, U. S. Coast Guard- approved fire extinguisher.

All powerboats 26 feet to less than 40 feet must carry two B-I or

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

one B-II U. S. Coast Guard-approved fire extinguishers.

Vessels 40 feet to less than 65 feet must carry three B-I or one B-II and 1 B-I U. S. Coast Guardapproved fire extinguishers.

Larger vessels must adhere to federal regulations about automatic fire-suppression systems in enclosed spaces.

Best For My Boat What are the suppressants and what is best for my boat might be the next set of logical questions.

As would seem obvious to even the casual reader, carbon dioxide (CO2) is one suppressant. It smothers the fire by withholding oxygen from the “fuel-oxygen-heat” equation.

CO2 has one not-so-obvious drawback. If you use it on a type-B fire, the high pressure of the CO2 coming out of the canister may very well spread the fire. So, hold CO2 aside. Another suppressant type is “dry chemical.” It can handle “A,” “B,” and type-“C” fires, but it also has a problem. The chemical suppressant tends to be corrosive in a marine environment. Yikes!

Hold that dry chemical aside, too.

What tends to be best, at least for “A” and “B” fires, is foam. It smothers the fire like a blanket.

Foam is water-based so the use of it on an electrical fire (“C”) can be problematic as it may give a medium for the electricity to reach the salver – you.

In a private boat such as found in our area, a foam extinguisher will work just fine for your chart plotter that shorted out. I just wouldn’t use it in an environment where a generator is putting out high voltage power to a large vessel with myriad electronic needs such as A/C, TV, radar, microwave oven, refrigerator, etc. That much juice is clearly something you don’t want

IN THE NEWS

to be in the middle of.

Where Do I Keep Them?

Where I can get to them – plus the sleeping berths. If you awake to a fire, you may have to fight your way out of it. Every other extinguisher should be kept in a convenient place – near the galley but not in it, near the engine but not within the engine space, etc.

Use common sense.

Boats Afire – Now What?

Act quickly. If you have help aboard, use it. Have someone turn the boat so the fire is downwind and proceed ahead as slowly as possible to maintain steerage. This will buy you time as the fire can’t fight its way upwind easily.

Have the helmsman call the USCG on VHF-16. Get the “rescue starts now” clock going as soon as possible. They won’t get there in time to stop the fire – but they will task someone or something to get there in time to fish you out of the water if you have to abandon ship.

While reaching for the fire extinguishers, yell, “Everybody into life-jackets!” If you do have to abandon ship, you are prepared.

Aim the fire extinguisher at the base of the flame, not the flames themselves. You are seeking to smother the source of the fire, not the flames per se. Move the fire extinguisher back and forth across the source of the flame to spread the coverage. If the fire has a source such a flowing charge or liquid, and you can get to a shut-off valve, shut it off and starve the fire.

BT W, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me atJoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly 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.”
