Country Willie Wows ‘Em

The Montauk Playhouse Community Center Foundation got the money, and Willie had the time. Country music icon Willie Nelson performed at the Surf Lodge in Montauk on Sunday night, drawing an estimated crowd of 500 to the venue proper as pedestrians lined the surrounding streets, and hundreds more fans formed a flotilla of kayaks, rowboats and surfboards in Fort Pond.

Sunday is Father’s Day, and while it’s not as big a deal as Mother’s Day, it is a day that should be more than a gift of a bottle of Old Spice After Shave lotion — every little kid’s favorite Father’s Day gift for their Dad. If your Dad is alive, go see him. Take him out for a great dinner and tell him you love him.

If your Dad has passed, do what I’m doing now. Remember him.

MY DAD

My Dad was 92 when he died and he was the product of a generation that came to this country without a penny and worked like hell so that their families could make a life here.

There were Italians, Jews, Irish, Poles. They had one thing in common – they worked to survive.

All of them were looked down upon and treated badly by whoever got here before them. But, in the end, they worked and slaved and finally got their families many of the things that the “Promised Land” promised.

My Dad worked three, sometimes four, jobs at a time. He worked for 49

years as a printing press operator at The New York Times. He never once brought home a copy of The Times.

He read The News, The Mirror, The Journal – “They’re papers for us,” he would explain.

Mornings at 6 AM he would show up at the Sea Beach Station at 86th Street. He would sell newspapers and cigarettes at the newsstand until 8 AM. Then he would take the subway to 42nd Street for his job at The Times.

Starting when I was seven years old, I would run to the 86th Street station to wait for his subway so I could walk him home. He would be

home exactly at 7 PM every night.

The one-block walk home was when we talked. He would gulp his dinner down and rush to Hi and Ann’s Candy Store on Avenue U and make egg creams and malteds and serve tables until 10 PM. Then, in the summer, he would take a trolley car to Coney Island where he would run amusement park rides until after midnight. He was home by 1 AM and out the door by 6 AM the next morning. That’s what’s called a work ethic. It’s what made this country so special.

Weekends were spent with my Dad searching for and finding wood on the Brooklyn streets. He would spend hours in our basement sawing wood to put into our coalburning stove. I don’t know if we couldn’t afford coal or if finding wood to burn was something he did to relax.

He was quiet and a little remote and it was clear that he had it easier relating to children than grown-ups.

My kids Donna, Jodi, and Michael loved their “Papa” and he loved them right back right until the end.

When my Dad was nine his father died and, as was common in those days, my Dad was put into an orphanage by his mother, who couldn’t afford to feed all of her children.

The experience scarred him for life and he spent his life searching for God-knows-what. He would walk the streets for miles at a time, head down, searching for wood or coins.

He would find coins, a penny . . . a dime . . . a quarter.

My Dad looked for and found coin treasures every day of his life.

He never passed a public phone or vending machine without reaching into the change return to search for a coin that had been left.

I remember walking with him and hearing him shout “YOOOO” as he reached down and picked up a penny.

Once I remember saying, “Daddy it’s just a penny,” and he said, “Yes, but it was heads up and that makes it a lucky penny.”

My Dad’s grave is at Gates of Heaven Cemetery in Westchester.

When he passed away 10 years ago, the procession of funeral cars pulled up to the bottom of the quiet sunny hill where my Mom is buried. All the mourners walked up the hill and we all paused as we passed the grave of a hero fireman who perished on 9/11. He was just 32 years old and we all shook our heads in sadness for his family and his children, who had left little toy mementos at their Dad’s grave.

The ceremony was brief. A priest mechanically read off words about a man he never knew or saw. When it was over I was the last to walk down the hill. I looked down before I stepped into the funeral limousine and there it was – a nickel, just resting there on the ground. I picked it up and trotted back up the hill.

“It was heads up for luck, Papa,” I said and I dropped the coin into the grave.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I miss you.

Sand And Springs And The Beery Beach

By Kitty Merrill

Overcrowded housing in Springs, sand replenishment at Ditch Plains Beach and the ruckus at Indian Wells Beach. The three subjects continued to be hot topics for the East Hampton Town Board as it held its formal meeting last Thursday night.

To address the problem of young, out-of-town revelers who crowd the Amagansett beach, toting cases of beer, and even generators for stereos onto Indian Wells, disturbing local

families and, more important, causing a traffic hazard in the small parking lot, officials decided to place restrictions on the lot during prime days throughout the summer. The measure restricts vehicle weight, length, and passenger capacity in order to stem the tide of limos and busses that drop the kids off.

A public hearing on the measure drew just a handful of speakers to town hall. Most supported the move and were grateful the town was instituting the pilot program.

But not everybody was happy.

Patrice Hogan believes “We’re not addressing the true problem.” The true problem, she said, is drinking on the beach; she thought the ultimate goal was to deter daytrippers “from hording to our beach.”

Councilwoman Sylvia Overby stressed the ultimate goal is safety.

She characterized the new parking limits as “a warning shot across the bow,” alerting visitors that “everybody needs to be on our

best behavior and respect what we have.”

Among those applauding the measure was Luke Weinstock, who grew up on Indian Wells Beach and described himself as “probably the demographic everyone is referring to.” Even as someone the same age as the visitors, he said he’s been “blown away” by behavior such as using the dunes as a bathroom, public drunkenness, and people throwing beer cans into the water.

The town board passed the bill later on Thursday night.

Speaking to the thorny topic of overcrowded houses in Springs, realtor Alex Piccirillo said it has had a negative impact on his ability to offer properties for sale in the hamlet. Referring to Supervisor Bill Wilkinson’s and Councilwoman Theresa Quigley’s reputations for bickering with colleagues and critical community members, he asked the pair if they would work effectively to resolve the issue and break the impasse or if they would step aside. (The East Hampton Star had earlier called for the pair to step down.)

Quigley said she didn’t understand what the community member was talking about. When he referenced the call for their resignations she said, “I don’t read the papers; it’s all make believe.”

As he has repeatedly done when community members complain of inaction regarding the housing problem in Springs, Wilkinson lauded Quigley for undertaking a comprehensive study of the hamlet.

Statistically, he claimed, the “sense of overcrowding” in Springs derives because there are so many more households in the hamlet than in others in town.

Piccirillo clarified that he was speaking of density in individual houses not hamlet-wide. Quigley continued to discuss density in the hamlet, rather than in houses in the hamlet. Pushed, she eventually said, “Our code enforcement, that’s their focus.”

Carol Buda, a Springs resident who frequently addresses the board about overcrowded houses noted, “We’ve been at this for years.” She’d like to see the town board devote the same energy to resolving the matter quickly as it did with Indian Wells.

Quick action was also requested when it came to erosion on Ditch Plains Beach. Earlier in the week residents of Montauk implored board members to move forward swiftly with a sand replenishing project in the popular shoreline site, which has been closed since before Memorial Day. Members voted Thursday night to begin the process. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Hampton Bays Homeless Shelter To Close

By Rick Murphy

Hidden Cove, the Hampton Bays motel converted into a Suffolk County homeless shelter despite complaints from neighborhood residents, will weed itself of all county-welfare recipients by the end of September and probably sooner.

The Independent, in a series of articles last year, detailed the plight of three rent paying residents the county tried to evict from the motel, on West Tiana Drive, and replace them with county homeless at a significant cost to taxpayers and the Hampton Bays school district.

An elderly woman and her

disabled daughter were two of the victims – they were paying $700 a month to live year-round in the building. But as the County Department of Social Services (DSS) moved more and more homeless people in, it put pressure on the women to leave. First, their rent was raised to $1140 a month, and when they balked at the higher number, the county – through a management company it hired to run the facility, Community Housing Innovations Inc. – eventually sued to evict the pair.

The larger issue was that the residents brought in by the county weren’t from the area – in fact, the

county had to transport school-age children living in Hampton Bays back to their original school districts every day.

“This is a sensitive issue,” said County Legislator Jay Schneiderman, who worked with Southampton Town Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst lobbying the county to close the facility to homeless residents.

“We have a responsibility to help these people, but these weren’t our homeless families.”

The county recently opened two facilities upisland which will allow the homeless families to stay closer to where they originally lived, and for the children involved to be closer

to their original school districts, Schneiderman added.

Gregory Blass who was the Commissioner of the Suffolk County Department of Social Services until January, knocked heads with Throne-Holst over the facility. Blass, in an exclusive interview with The Independent last November, said housing at Hidden Cove Motel was designed to be temporary, and that no more than six students were enrolled in the Hampton Bays School District at any given time.

Throne-Holst said in fact 40 children from Hidden Cove are on the books at Hampton Bays School District. “Once they are [moved to Hidden Cove] Hampton Bays becomes the sending district and pays the cost to educate them in perpetuity,” she said, meaning local taxpayers foot the bill, even if the students are transported back to their sending districts.

“Blass saw his mission as putting the homeless in Southampton,” Schneiderman opined. But after a meeting with County Executive Steve Bellone last Friday it was decided to move the DSS residents from Hidden Cove.

“Last Friday Supervisor ThroneHolst and I met with officials from the Bellone administration and the Department of Social Continued on Page 35.

Politics Before Progress?

By Emily Toy

It would have taken about five minutes, but it ended up being 20.

Because of back and forth bickering between Southampton Town Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst and Councilwoman Christine Scalera, a presentation on a Riverside revitalization proposal became almost redundant.

Currently there’s a draft designed to give some areas of Riverside a new face before the board.

According to Scalera, a sewer study and reconfiguration of a traffic circle were just some of the items she included in her proposal to help revive the hamlet. ThroneHolst, a member of the Riverside Economic Revitalization Task Force, was hot and bothered by the fact that Scalera had not discussed the proposal with her prior to Thursday’s work session.

“I think it’s a shame that we didn’t hear about this,” ThroneHolst said. “ You should have approached us.”

Scalera said she was disappointed that the supervisor thought she and the task force’s work were being usurped, assuring ThroneHolst that wasn’t the case at all.

“The shame is that you would call this a competing effort,” Scalera said. “You’re not being usurped. I’m not trying to usurp anybody.”

The councilwoman said she wanted to get everyone’s input on what they want to include in the proposal.

“I would hope we would all join together in this,” she said. “I don’t want politics to get in front of progress.”

Town Planning and Development Administrator Kyle Collins noted the intent of the presentation was to reaffirm what the goals are and to develop strategies to meet them.

“This was a vehicle to start that conversation,” Scalera added.

Councilwoman Bridget Fleming asked Scalera if she was interested in hiring a private firm to do the task force’s work. (Fleming is also a member.) Scalera said she wanted to have someone confirm the consensus, advise the town board and act as a moderator. It may not need to be a hired person, but it could be a possibility.

Throne-Holst added that much of what was in Scalera’s proposal during the work session was discussed at monthly meetings of the task force in the past. ThroneHolst said Scalera never attended

those meetings, even after she was invited repeatedly.

“So much of these substantive ideas have been discussed at the

meetings,” Fleming added.

Scalera said affirmative steps need to be taken to move this project forward.

“I’m offended you’re taking a positive thing for the community and bringing it to this level,” Scalera said to Throne-Holst. “I don’t know why we’re trying to make a distinction.”

Collins said he would return to the board most likely next month to revisit the proposal.

Charged With Spying On Tenants

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

IN THE NEWS

By Kitty Merrill

Donald Torr, a one-time Montauk restaurateur and a Springs homeowner was indicted by a grand jury last Wednesday on charges that he secretly videotaped families that rented his house on Winterberry Lane in Springs.

Torr, 69, now lives in Celebration, Florida. Police were called to the rental property last August after a tenant found hidden cameras throughout the home. He was arrested by US Marshals at his house in Florida last month. He pleaded not guilty to charges of unlawful surveillance and endangering the welfare of a child in Suffolk County court.

Torr allegedly taped 13 adults and nine children in the home, using a remote system to view the footage from a different locale.

In court last Wednesday his attorney claimed the cameras were used for security purposes. They were reportedly set up in a bedroom, pointed at the bed, in a shower, and hidden in an air conditioning vent, a baseboard heater, and a smoke detector. ABC News reported some video footage showed victims nude.

Independent / File Photo

The owners of this Springs home has been charged with using hidden cameras to spy on tenants.

Last year a New Jersey family filed a federal lawsuit against Torr, accusing him of spying on their group, which included three minors, aged seven, three and 17 months.

On August 30 of 2012, the lawsuit states, the tenants discovered hidden video cameras pointed directly at the beds in electrical boxes in two outlets, in an outdoor shower aimed right where a person’s genitalia would be while

children who were allegedly filmed nude, which is defined as “sexually explicit conduct” under the law.

The adults were additionally filmed engaging in bedroom activities, the court document alleges.

Torr, who was the long-time owner of the Crow’s Nest restaurant in Montauk, was released on $100,000 bail this week. He returns to court on July 11. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in jail. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Sag Harbor’s Mayor Gilbride Schools His Critics on the Police Staffing Controversy

HOW TO SOLVE A PROBLEM!

Re: The elimination of two positions within the Sag Harbor PD In case #1, the officer simply resigned. We opted not to replace him for budgetary reasons. In case #2, the Village Board eliminated that position, also for budgetary concerns. The officer in question had done nothing wrong, but we coud not sustain a 12 member force without curtailing other essential services.

Our options: We could eliminate the 2 positions. We could save one position, temporarily, by using federal grant money and $90K in “found money” from Chief Fabiano’s budget. Or we could buy our police services from other jurisdictions. In the end, we felt a compromise worked best.

We would lose 2 positions, but we would save our Police Deptartment. And we also had to reign in their budget (fully 1/3 of Sag Harbor’s total operating budget, with salaries and benefits costing us about $950 per resident).

And finally, Chief Fabiano and the PBA should understand that, in government, there’s no such thing as “found money”. It’s all taxpayer money and taxpayers get to decide how it’s best used.

Nile Rodgers To Perform In Riverhead

By Miles X. Logan

The legendary funkmeister Nile Rodgers will perform in Riverhead August 19 in an inaugural fundraiser for All For The East End. Rodgers, a bassist, predicted the event “will be the greatest dance party the East End of Long Island has every seen. Dance Music unites, Dance Music is happy and the Nile Rodgers Dance Party will bring all ages to the dance floor.” The young Swedish EDM DJ, Avicii, is also slated to appear.

Rodgers is the dance music genius who founded the band CHIC and recorded the smash hits “Dance Dance Dance,” “Everybody Dance,” “I Want Your Love,” and “Le Freak (Aw Freak Out!),” among many others. He has produced major hits for the likes of Madonna, David Bowie, Duran Duran and Diana Ross.

AFTEE organizers have been working on the concert project for over a year. Bridgehampton National Bank, a 100 year-old community bank rooted on the East End, committed almost immediately as the presenting sponsor. Fundraising has been in full swing with over

$200,000 raised so far. Other major sponsors include Austin & Williams Advertising, Ben Krupinski Builders, Cablevision, Dan’s Papers, Martha Clara Vineyards, Norsic and Sons, Pure Insurance, Sotheby’s, Tanger Outlets and Weber + Grahn. They are joined by the Eastern Long Island Hospital Foundation, Cook Maran Associates, Peconic Bay Medical Foundation, Riverhead Building Supply, the Long Island Community Foundation and Southampton Hospital Foundation among others.

AFTEE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit establishment -- its primary purpose is to raise awareness of the role not-for-profit organizations play in making the East End of Long Island, one of the most desirable places to live in the world and to establish a fund of new money that they will have access to through a grant process.

Southampton Resident Honored For Post-Sandy Efforts way,” said Linda Armyn, Senior Vice Presidnet, Bethpage Federal Credit Union.

“This year’s entries were so

touching and heartfelt, it was a true reminder of the spirit of Long Island,” she said.

Donna Christina Oliverio, fourth from right, with members of Kids Stock the House, as well as Miss Long Island 2013 (third from right), and Miss Long Island Teen 2013 (second from right).

Southampton resident Donna Christina Oliverio was recently honored as a hero of Hurricane Sandy by the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach last month.

Oliverio, founder of non-profit organization Kids Stock the House, was one of 10 individuals named a winner. She received the honor for arranging for 15-year old cancer patient, Justen Doney, to receive his “wish” for a weekend in New York City, despite the disruptions of the super storm.

Because of Oliverio’s efforts, Justen got to see his grandmother in New York City and meet Miss Teen USA the day after the storm, before he had to return home to Montana. Oliverio was nominated as a community hero by Jim Hayden, a New Jersey resident and Justen’s uncle.

The Southampton resident was recognized at a planeside reception at Republic Airport with Bethpage Air Show performers and the GEICO Skytypers. In addition to the reception, Oliverio received a $250 Visa gift card, VIP tickets to the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach Reception held at the Cradle of Aviation Museum, and tickets to view the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach from Bethpage’s VIP tent.

To help celebrate the occasion, Oliverio had Justen and Kids Stock the House children volunteers attend the events.

“We’re so proud to honor Donna and these 10 individuals for their amazing acts of heroism- whether it was saving a life, helping rebuild a home, or simply purchasing gas for neighbors-each winner touched the lives of someone in a profound

Who Cares About Clean Water? Everyone!

By Nancy Kelley

It’s almost beach time but what’s scarier than trying on a new bathing suit in the fluorescent lights of a fitting room? What’s in the water.

An increase in pollution from sewage, and increasing pesticides and toxic chemicals are threatening our waters across the East End and throughout Long Island. And it’s time to do something about it. Sewage puts nitrogen pollution in our water and threatens Long Island’s health and quality of life. Polluted ground water causes unsightly and dangerous red tides, kills our fish and can poison the shellfish we eat.

The good news? We can fix it.

I worked for the Village of Sag Harbor for more than 20 years.

While Clerk-Administrator I worked with eight Mayors and Administrations. I prepared budgets, Fire and Ambulance contracts, tax and assessment rolls ands all other legal filings and actions of Village Government.

I am concerned about our entire Village and also willing to work with everyone to address their concerns.

Our Waterfront assets, the water quality in our bays, wetland preservation and drainage issues throughout the entire village need to be addressed.

I want our resential area preserved and protected against over-crowding and over development.

We have parking issues throughout our entire vilage that need to be addressed. As well as sidewalks in need of repair for the safety of our walkers.

✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰

Grants are very important to any Government. We need to aggressively apply for any grant that we are eligible for. Revenues from grants help to keep budget expenses down. And helping our organizations obtain grants can allow them to continue the good work they do for our village.

✰

As Village Clerk-Administrator I had to negotiate many issues regularly.

And I attended negotions with our PBA and CSEA. Our PBA, and as of June 1st our CSEA both will have expired employment contracts. I would like to address both of these issues immediately and move on! I hope to have the oportunity to do so while serving as Mayor of Sag Harbor Village.

I am qualified and very eager to fill the position of Mayor.

Recent surveys of voters across Long Island reveal that we are concerned enough about polluted water entering our bays to pay for cleanup, and they enthusiastically support higher government standards for water quality across Long Island.

Recognizing the need to pool efforts across Long Island communities, a proactive consortium of environmental groups called the Long Island Clean Water Partnership has taken the lead in assessing citizen concern, raising awareness, and lobbying local and regional governments to act now.

Even more good news: clean

water is cheap!

Compared with that $4 you just spent on a gallon of gas or a carton of milk out here in the Hamptons, cleaning up our water costs about one cent per gallon — and we all rely on clean waters for our health, our recreation, and our livelihoods.

It makes dollars and cents to keep our water clean and safe.

Working together, stronger water quality standards and upgrading sewer and septic systems will leave cleaner bays and harbors for our children and grandchildren. We owe it to them to leave them with waters they can swim in, are filled with plentiful fish and are healthy!

RICK’S SPACE What Happens When We Die?

Many of you know I spend much of my time discussing philosophy, specifically the meaning of life and whether or not there is an afterlife.

This is probably because I surround myself with extremely intelligent people -- scholars, of course, but also scientific types.

If it weren’t for time restraints we might spend hours in animated arguments about whether, for example, heaven really exists, or is the afterlife merely the accumulated wisdom of every mind that ever existed? Unfortunately, the debate

is usually cut short when the chips and dips come out and the game begins, especially if there are beer commercials on, which invariably feature – speaking of heaven -scantily clad women.

When I’m not getting all up in philosophical banter with the guys, I often discuss these things with Karen. Saturday was such a day – after shopping at King Kullen, cooking for two hours, and cleaning up after dinner, I was forced to watch some silly BBC thing chosen by my wife rather than a baseball game.

REAL ESTATE

It was at that point I introduced a statement for the two of us to ponder: “Maybe this is actually hell, and I already died?” I wondered aloud. This drew a sharp rebuke from Karen, who pointed out that from her perspective it was more likely heaven we were existing in. After all, she had lounged at the pool, and was served a wonderful dinner replete with an expensive bottle of wine, and then lounged in the den while the table was cleared and the dishes were washed.

“I was thinking that if I go to heaven someone will wait on me,” I said.

“Do you want me to cook for you?”

Karen asked earnestly. How could I tell her that doing so would prove my contention that I already live in hell?

In Catholic school we were taught we live our lives with a singular goal: to get to heaven. To achieve that, one had to live a chaste, moral life, go to

church every week and pray regularly.

The nuns also told us you had to be Catholic to get to heaven. This concerned me no end, since in the third grade my best friend in the neighborhood was Howie Levine.

“He’ll make it to heaven, won’t he Sister?” I asked Sister Mary Assumpta in a quivering voice. “He’s my best friend.”

She leaned down and looked me squarely in the eye, her kindly face sporting a thin smile. Then she slowly began shaking her head back and forth. “I’m afraid your little friend is doomed to hell,” she said. And then she cackled ever so slightly.

Hell, as we all know, is an inferno, the flames burning the skin off our rotting carcasses while serpents sneer. But it doesn’t just mercifully end after we are burned to a crisp.

As one pundit once said, take eternity – all the years that have ever passed and all the time still to come, then multiply that by 10. That time will represent a tiny grain of sand on an ocean beach compared to our life in hell.

Damn, that’s one slow roast, that’s for sure. Must be more like a smokehouse than an inferno.

And then there’s limbo. Limbo is a place kind of like heaven except God doesn’t live there. The way it works is when you die St. Joseph and John the Baptist hold a pole up and you have to pass underneath by dancing to Caribbean music. They keep lowering the bar, one inch for every time you had an impure thought. If at any point you can’t pass under it – boom!

You’re in limbo. Hell, I’d have to be a snake to make it under.

OK, I made that story up. The only good explanation I’ve ever heard about limbo came from my first grade nun, Sister Mother Superior.

She said if a newborn baby, too young to have committed a sin but not yet baptized, were to suddenly die, the child would go not to heaven but to limbo.

I thought about that for a long time. Basically, what sins can a newborn baby commit? I mean, they can’t commit adultery; I suppose they could covet their neighbor’s crib or something like that. No matter how you slice it though, there must be a lot of dirty diapers in limbo, which is probably why God never visits there.

“Could maybe Howie get into limbo?” I asked Sister Grace Maureen, who was a kindly sort and hardly ever cackled.

“Maybe if you pray enough,” she answered gently. That night I prayed until three in the morning but then I had impure thoughts so they probably negated each other.

The best explanation of heaven I ever heard was from my late brother, who said, “I don’t really believe in it but I pray just in case I’m wrong.”

Amen to that.

Dear Rick, I’m sorry, but I have to respond to the (ranting) letter by Mr. Richard Kraus from last week about the pending “dark sky”

EDITORIAL

Voters in Sag Harbor Village have a difficult choice to make Tuesday, more so because they must choose one of four exceptionally qualified candidates for mayor.

The incumbent, Brian Gilbride, has been on the job in one capacity or another for two decades; the village has purred along nicely under his leadership.

The recent, sometimes ugly, stalemate between the village and its police force has overshadowed more important issues.

In a nutshell, the union was out of bounds requesting a 4.5 percent salary increase even if it was a negotiating ploy. The new economy dictates that, like in the real world, unions must realize wages are no longer rising every year. In fact, they have flat lined in the private sector, and that needs to happen in the public sector as well. Even with no salary increases, the public has to pay increased retirement and medical benefits every year. Should the stalemate have lingered this long? Probably not. Should the village have laid off an officer right before the summer season? Probably not – but place the blame squarely on both sides: if the union is going to insist on pay raises, then cuts in personnel are inevitable. That’s the new math.

The bigger issue is the long-term health on the village’s vast system of coves and estuaries, and meaningful action on this front has too often been stymied by petty arguments and insider dealing.

Bruce Tait, a longtime member of the Village Harbor Committee, is on the right track – he knows that the health of our waterways is crucial to the long-term survival of the village. It’s what brings people here during the season, and it’s why people choose to live here. Tait’s call for a ban on fertilizers near the coves and bays was ignored by the village – yet it is the runoff from chemicals and other contaminants that has forced the closure of the cove to shellfishing. Unfortunately, Tait has no experience in municipal finances and labor negotiations and those are not matters to learn on the fly. In any event, the sense here is he entered the race as a spoiler.

Former Mayor Pierce Hance is running again, and he also did an admirable job in office. He promises a more open government, but he ran things much the same way Gilbride does – the two served together on the board at one point.

No one wants to acknowledge the real truth – Sag Harbor has been run by the Old Boys’ Network for a long, long time, the powerful fire department membership jockeying behind the scenes along with the police and other players. As a result, village jobs too often are given to insiders who don’t deserve them. Everyone knows where the bodies

(not dark ground) legislation for Shelter Island. He is mistaken on so many accounts, including referring to me as inventing a simple shield to direct light downward in order to “make a huge amount of money” when I, for years, have been giving these shields away (available from Group for the East End, Concerned Citizens of Montauk, Montauk Chamber of Commerce, Nature Conservancy).

are buried but no one talks about it on the record – that’s the Sag Harbor way.

We can count the number of women who have been mayor in the past 60 years on two fingers. Sandra Schroeder, the retired village clerk, knows the ins and outs of the job; she’s developed budgets, helped negotiate contracts, overseen grant applications.

More important, Schroeder distances herself from the field with her knowledge of how to keep the fragile waterways clean. While the other candidates were posturing for votes, she was on the phone with the DEC, getting a detailed explanation of why the cove is closed and how to turn it around. She alone spoke of the necessity of working with the myriad other authorities that have a piece of the Sag Harbor pie – both Southampton and East Hampton Town, their boards of trustees, North Haven Village, and the state and county. No meaningful long-term project can happen unless everyone concerned is on board, regardless of what the village fathers do or say. Schroder was the only candidate to mention the aging sewage treatment plant and the need to overhaul it.

It’s time for the Old Boys to stop trying to manipulate how the village is run and to make way for people who aren’t concerned with giving their friends jobs, getting themselves a cheap place to store their boat, or getting their trucks serviced on the cheap. It’s time for real reform in Sag Harbor – in fact, it’s way overdue.

The Fire Department is a huge voting block, and Gilbride hasn’t endeared himself to the membership – Hance is the likely beneficiary of that faction. We call on citizens to look beyond these petty slights and silly, insider bickering and focus on the big picture. The Independent endorses Sandra Schroeder for Sag Harbor Village Mayor.

There are four candidates for two board seats; the incumbent Ed Gregory is running with Gilbride, and Bruce Stafford, who lost his seat two years ago, is running to reclaim it. Ken O’Donnell, the owner of La Superica, is throwing his hat in the political ring for the first time, and Ed Deyermond, yet another former mayor, is seeking to return to the village board. We do not have enough knowledge of the candidates to make an informed endorsement, but we can say Deyermond as mayor and as Southampton Town Assessor, has always been extremely helpful and always accessible. For better of for worse, politicians who avoid answering questions from the press, or who are less than forthright, are really snubbing the people who elect them; we are charged with asking the difficult questions on behalf of the voters.

This could be a watershed moment in the storied history of this great village: get out there and vote.

I am an educator and a volunteer, educating the public about how to save money by using night lighting sensibly to better illuminate the ground by directing light downward in the correct amount to see well, to provide real security (instead of just a sense of security), and to control light trespass which is a nuisance between neighbors.

I have read the Shelter Island draft

of its lighting law and it is not onerous in the least and will help Shelter Islanders to enjoy their lives at night (on the ground) and to continue to see their beautiful night sky, and money will be saved. This is a worthwhile effort for any town board to initiate.

And, if anyone wants to fabricate their Continued on Page 26.

SUSAN HARDER DARK SKY SOCIETY

Sneaky Deal Dear Editor, When Secretary of State Kerry can quietly give the Muslim Brotherhood controlled Egypt over $1.5 billion of our taxpayers’ money, with no advance warning or news coverage, shouldn’t there be an outcry?

Is there nothing to stop the hemorrhaging of our money by these progressive liberals in Washington DC? No, they can repeatedly give that much money to them each year! Isn’t it time for the people of this country to demand the end of such extravagant “gifts” to countries that are joining forces to destroy our country and liberties?

They have 45 democracy workers, including 16 Americans, in prison for helping to establish civil liberties and promote democracy in Egypt. They burn down churches and kill those not of their religion, and still practice slavery.

We are throwing the money, that should be spent on our own country’s needs, and tossing it into a desert full of war mongers. Why are we supporting those who are diametrically opposed to all that this country stands for? This sneaky deal is out of hand and must end.

Americans, awake from your slumber and implore our representatives to stop the rupturing of our wallets.

What’s growing in your garden?

Christina Tadross I’m planting roses, hydrangea, I have absolutely beautiful peonies. My lilacs are gorgeous. My roses are starting. The weather’s been great for the plants this year.

I’ll have fresh cut flowers through the fall. And . . . I also have a little vegetable garden.

Kim Jon I’m a professional garden designer. The deer are so bad that I have a fenced in area where I keep my client’s plants safe until I deliver them.

But everything else of my own gets eaten, and so my own garden isn’t as much as a flower garden as I’d like it to be.

problem: the desire to burn the Peconic Bridge. Because each year, the Hamptons have been invaded by a party-prone breed of nouveau riche which has filled our bars past capacity, drank on our beaches, and booked seemingly every trip on a bus making it impossible to get on those darn buses without a reservation anymore.

Each year we say “no more!” and each year nothing happens. Why? Because in the end the discourse over who to keep out of the Hamptons is wholly reactive, narrow, and fruitless.

It has no discernable answer (even if we burn the Peconic Bridge they can just take helicopters now). It is narrow - generally an argument between those rich enough to afford beachfront property and those rich enough to book beachfront hotel rooms. Even worse, it ignores the far worse problems that the Hamptons are experiencing.

While we complain that privileged youngsters are drinking on our beaches, each year another local family is priced

out of the area to have their home turned into a McMansion second house. While we complain about the loud music we ignore that local businesses are being replaced by boutiques, which cater to the hyper-rich seasonal crowd. And while we laugh at the foolishness of local notables complaining to the New York Times that kids these days party too hard, the Hamptons we live in are, year by year, changing into a colonized community, which exists solely for the people that we impotently complain about.

It took me until I was 20 to realize how odd it was that I barely knew anyone older than me who stayed in the Hamptons. Now that I’m 22 (and a moveout myself) I know why -- to someone who actually lives here with a college degree, there isn’t much to do.

Once you graduate, you find that your expensive new degree can find you barely gainful employment as a barista, a retail agent, or a busser and even if you do get Continued on Page 27.

that job it is likely to be seasonal.

Furthermore, if you live in the Hamptons as someone who is young or poor you can give up the idea of ever buying your own house: I have known 30+ year olds who sublet their apartments in order to afford them. Most 20+ year olds have the opportunity to move back in with their parents and re-attach the chain of dependence that they went to college or found jobs in order to give up.

In the face of this -- little to no gainful employment, no housing, no voice - many young people have turned to the one thing that you can definitely do in the Hamptons: they party. Nearly every one of my friends who has lived for extended times in the Hamptons after graduating has developed a problem with some substance or another.

It is an open secret that hard drugs are a problem for the Hamptonian youth, a problem, which, in recent years has taken the lives of several promising young men and women. But for most of us, and for me, the secret to living as a 20-something in the Hamptons is obvious: you don’t live there. For most young people living in the Hamptons, there is only one option to success -- you get out of the Hamptons.

To many of us, these problems -- abuse, boutiques, and second homes, seem disconnected. But they aren’t. The dearth of local businesses and the mansion-housing market has forced several successive generations of young Hamptonites to leave, many forever. To those who stay there is the feeling of unaccomplishment, a feeling that leads many to the bottle, some to the needle, and others still to the grave. And because our towns have little to no youth culture of our own because so many young people leave, we develop each year even further towards a seasonal economy, which just worsens the problem.

So what’s my suggestion?

We burn the Peconic Bridge and the East Hampton airport. Only way to be sure.

No but really, what’s my suggestion?

The main question of the Hamptons has never been: ‘How do we keep people out?;’ a discourse which leads nowhere because you can’t possibly keep people out.

It has been “How do we keep people in?.” Subsidized housing for the young and less well off of the Hamptons would help the region move out of a seasonal employment/economic cycle by making sure that there is a sizable population through the whole year. This will bring back local and economically sustainable businesses and move us away from an

economy based on firms which are opened up with an eye towards summerfolk alone.

Furthermore it will give us a degree of agency in the protection of our local culture by supporting the next generation of people who will carry that culture on.

This isn’t a panacea -- there are problems with this policy too, and even if we enact a form of socialized housing for the Hamptons, there will be many more steps to go. At the very least we can start talking about this problem -- the colonization of our neighborhoods and the transformation of our quiet fishing communities into the playgrounds for the nouveau riche -- as a policy problem which

can be solved, rather than something to merely complain about.

Rental Law Under Review Chief Building Inspector Mike Benincasa met with the Southampton Town Board last Thursday morning to clarify the town’s rental law.

The general requirements, he said, are to have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors that are up to code and to make sure pool enclosures comply with the town and state code.

“It’s all health and safety upgrades,” Benincasa said.

A problem that arose during the discussion was what are those with a valid certificate of occupancy supposed to do if the state or town code can tell them they need to comply with new requirements?

“What if there’s a situation of someone with a valid CO, is told they need to change a lot of things?” questioned Councilman Chris Nuzzi.

“That costs lots of money and lots of time.”

Councilwoman Christine Scalera said it may be useful to have Town Attorney Tiffany Scarlato contact representatives from the New York State Fire Prevention and Building Code to get answers about what should be done.

Tait said Sag Harbor “is one of the great estuary systems in the country. It’s time to start addressing

all our creeks and bays. We’re not applying any thought to addressing the matter.”

He pointed out it took 30 years for the village to address the situation at Havens Beach. “This administration

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

is reactive and we need to be proactive. I mean there was human fecal matter in the water. How foolish does that make us? It was Einstein who said insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.’”

Tait placed the blame for the current tension between the village and the police force on the incumbent. “Do we want our own police force? The answer is yes. We have to get the costs down; we blew the opportunity and dealt with it with a budget ax.”

“We all have the best intentions,” he said of the crowded field. “But it’s the same old people – the village clerk, the mayor, the ex-

mayor. We need new blood.”

Tait, a yacht broker with an office near Long Wharf, said he was aware that Suffolk County wanted to turn the wharf over to the village for quite some time. He said the future of it should be decided by a “community wide discussion.”

Tait said Mayor Gilbride has basically ignored the Harbor Committee to the detriment of the bays and coves. “I send over a memo about banning the use of fertilizers within 200 yards of the water and no one ever got back to me.”

In general, Tait said he was running because “We have to be proactive to preserve the Sag Harbor we all want.”

Five violators were cited: Old Stone Market, Damark’s Deli, Maidstone Market in Springs, Chiquita Latina in East Hampton, and the Memory Motel in Montauk.

Flanders Bhavesh Hasarafally, 17, of Flanders is accused of burglary, trespassing and possession of stolen property after he “hosted” a wild party – at someone else’s house. Southampton Town Police said Hasarafally was also charged with entering another residence on Peconic Trail on May 31 while in possession of some of the stolen property from the residence on Huntington Lane.

Hasarafally was also charged with second-degree criminal trespass, and criminal possession of stolen property.

Southampton Town Police report the arrest of a homeless man on Main Street in Riverhead Sunday.

Roshawn Childress, 32, who police described as homeless, is charged with grand larceny after he was observed via video camera entering an unlocked car and removing cash and other items.

Childress allegedly fought with detectives in an attempt to avoid arrest; he was charged with a class E felony and resisting arrest, a class A misdemeanor, police said.

Friday it was déjà vu all over again. Another 22-year-old wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt (like it’s summertime, dude) was seen acting suspiciously in front of the middle school. It turned out he was packing weed as well – 53 grams to be exact.

Both men were arrested, detained briefly, and released.

The decision comes too late to help Nick Saradakis, a former tenant who went public with his complaints about the facility and CHI. He said the county spent as much as $5000 per family per month of taxpayers’ money for residents – Saradakis paid his own rent, yet he was evicted after a protracted battle with CHI and the DSS.

Schroeder is keenly aware there have been very few women on the village hall dais over the years. “It’s still an old boys club. I’ve heard people say ‘She should know better’ about me. My answer is, ‘What can you do better than me?’”

The major issue is water quality, Schroeder said. “It’s the pollution

in the cove. I talked to the DEC. This has been going on since the 70s.” Schroeder pointed out there has been extensive flooding, some of it in the village historic district. “That’s why we need a comprehensive study, to show us what is really needed. Some hard calls have to be made, and we need a consensus.”

One issue that should be looked at is the aging sewage treatment plant. “We can wait another 20 years to deal with it and it will cost eight times as much.”

Gilbride can rattle off a litany of accomplishments, from the success of the pump out boat -- “We removed 90,000 gallons of sludge last year” to the Havens Beach project. “It was a team effort but I take great pride in my record.”

[Baykeeper] Kevin McAllister praised Gilbride for the project, and there have been many others, he pointed out, most recently rebuilding West Water Street.

As for the criticism leveled by

Hance, Gilbride said “Everything we do we do in the open. When he was mayor Mobil Oil gave us a piece of property and he leased part of it out to the Sag Harbor Yacht Yard without any public input. Later we found out his boat was stored there.”

He has drawn the ire of some fire department members for blocking the appointment of two new members. “The FD is mad at me. They wanted to appoint a chief who lives out of the district. I told them they have to live by their own rules.”

Gilbride agreed there has probably never been a field this large running for the mayor’s seat, “I’m right in the middle of this thing. They are going to know I’m in it, I promise that.”

Whalers, LI Champs, Finally Fall It was a glorious season, one that will stamp the current Pierson Whalers squad as the school’s best ever.

For a second consecutive season, the locals earned the Suffolk County Class C title and the Long Island Class C title.

Saturday the locals fell one short of the New York State title game Saturday in Binghamton, where the Whalers dropped a heartbreaker, 1-0 against Seton Catholic.

The locals ran into a buzz saw, Seton Catholic pitcher Michael Jorchak, who tossed a four hitter

and struck out 11 while walking only one in the game, played at Broome Community College.

The Saints (19-4) went on to take the State Class C title later in the day, besting Geneseo 9-0. Pierson’s ace, Colman Vila, was more than up for the task, allowing only a single unearned run. He struck out five, allowed five hits and a walk. The winning run came when a pop-up fell between fielders after Joe Wasko tripled.

Vila, who was undefeated going into the game, had a busy week for the locals, and an historic one.

He pitched a no hitter on June 4

as Sag Harbor dropped Friends Academy 5-0, allowing only one baserunner in the sixth inning.

The next day Vila came on for Jake Bennet to record the save as the Whalers squeaked by Haldane in the regional final.

The magical ride of the Pierson/ Bridgehampton girls’ softball team also ended upstate Saturday when the team lost to Frewsburg 7-0 in the State Class C semifinals. Last Wednesday the locals earned a trip to the Final Four by blasting Haldane, 24-7, behind the spectacular hitting of Kasey Gilbride, who lashed four hits including two triples, tallied eight ribbies and scored five times.

Calling Dr Skipper, Calling Dr Skipper – The Onboard Medical Kit

About 30 years ago, while trying to sail out of Hurricane Alberto’s way in the North Atlantic, a rogue wave hit us and I went air-borne. Catching the side of my head on a brass runner, I managed not to be thrown below at a high rate of speed. Of course, it didn’t do wonders for the side of my head. I was crewing with a new captain for the first time and, when the Chief Medical Officer Marty Boorstein grabbed the scotch because there was no alcohol in the medical kit, I started to worry that more was at work here than Alberto. This column is about the advances since then.

“It Is Just A Band-Aid” When someone wants to say that something hasn’t really been fixed, they often say, “They just put a Band-Aid over it.” Band-Aid, which is a brand name, realized that they could do better themselves and the new water-proof Band-Aids, on the market now for a few years, are dramatically better than the old

version. There is a semi-permeable membrane over sterile gauze.

This makes them waterproof and breathable.

Wounds need that in order to stay clean and yet be warm and moist enough to promote circulation and healing. These new Band-Aids, and 3M’s “NexCare,” are roughly twice as expensive but worth every penny in healing and prevention from infection.

The skipper is behind me, wondering, ‘Why didn’t I bring a proper medical kit?’

These are fine for cuts and punctures but, if you have blistering on your hands from a burn of some type, you’ll need something that has medical product directly integrated into the dressing, and still breathes

too. Such a product would be BandAid’s Advanced Healing Blister Cushion. Not all burns come from fire – think about putting your hand on a hot exhaust pipe or having a line run through your ungloved hand at a high rate of speed. Allevyn and Duoderm have similar products and all can last for several days in place if need be.

Liquid Dressings?

Many of us have heard of the use of SuperGlue as a liquid dressing/ ersatz stitching. It is clever, other than the fact that the SuperGlue itself comes with a warning that says that it is toxic. NewSkin and Dermabond are liquid bandage products that are designed for the same purpose but don’t sport a warning label that says “toxic!”

I have no experience with these products under maritime conditions but I have heard some skippers note that, under harsh conditions, “the stitches come out . . .”

Pain Killers?

If you are going to keep anything aboard stronger than Tylenol, you’ll need a doctor’s prescription to buy it and training how to administer it. Daunting.

With that said, many Search And Rescue teams both at the ski patrol level and on-the-water are opting for something called “fentanyl” – it is sprayed in the victim’s nose where it is fast acting but short-duration. You’ll still need medical training and prescription processing but, in lieu of giving someone a needle injection with morphine for a crushed leg from a shark bite, this might be something for the right skipper with the right profile to look into.

forget s o m e low-tech devices – such an otoscope ( t h e thing the doctor sticks in your ear during an exam.) “Dr. Mom” offers a cheap, lightweight and stainless steel model with LED light. Great for fine print, finding splinters and a bit of barnacle that embedded itself in your finger.

What do you do if someone needs artificial respiration? First, I hope you’re up to date on your Red Cross First Aid training. If not, “Google” it and get into a class. In addition to getting good solid training on medical “tech,” you’ll be properly trained in CPR, including artificial respiration.

And when you train for that, one of the key items is something between your mouth and the victim’s. Only when “in extremis” do we bypass modern day sanitation and body-fluid control – and one device you might want to have aboard is the NuMask. It fits inside the victim’s mouth like a snorkel rather than over the face like a mask.

In summary, you don’t have to stop at the over-the-counter medical kit. You can take your skippering skills to the next level. Remember, you are responsible for the crew, the boat and the boat’s wake.

We studied it, we asked the public.” Hance said the impasse with the PBA over the police contract rests squarely on the shoulders of Brian Gilbride, the incumbent mayor. “He didn’t go to any of the negotiations.

Brian saw a rock coming so he threw one back.”

Hance said when he was mayor business was conducted openly in front of the public. “Right now we don’t know what is going on. Where is the transparency? You pay an attorney to draft a new law before finding out what the public wants?

What else is going on behind closed doors?”

Hance said it is well known that

Gilbride has rewarded insiders with jobs, including one for his daughter’s boyfriend. Gilbride countered that he recused himself from the matter.

Gilbride has become preoccupied with the police department and has neglected his other responsibilities, Hance charged. “He treats the Harbor Committee like it doesn’t exist.

He would get rid of it if he could but he can’t –it’s written into the Waterfront Revitalization Plan.”

Open Needs A Repeat Winner

The 113th U.S. Open Championship tees off tomorrow at Merion Golf Club, outside of Philadelphia. For many East-Enders, it will be the first chance to catch a major tournament up close since the U.S. Open was played at Bethpage Black in 2009. Maybe it’s my bias, but majors have a little more excitement and juice behind them when played in the Northeast corridor. The enthusiastic galleries and heavy media presence add hype and energy not found in any other area of the country.

Both fan favorite Phil Mickelson and world #1 Tiger Woods have found themselves in the hunt in majors in this region. But this year’s storyline may not involve the old guard. If recent history holds true, the game will be waiting to find out which young star will break through next.

But that wouldn’t be the best outcome for the sport.

The last four U.S. Open champions were first-time major winners: Lucas Glover, Graeme McDowell, Rory McIlroy, and Webb Simpson. Who in

this year’s group of contenders could make the leap? Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Lee Westwood, and Luke Donald are all potential winners who would make for a very interesting story line. A victory by Sergio Garcia would be especially intriguing, given his self annihilation and jawboning with Woods at the Players Championship.

In fact, 12 of the last 17 majors have been won by first-timers. It’s positive for the game to show there is plenty of worldwide talent capable of winning on the sport’s biggest stage. But there’s a downside to having frequent first-time winners.

All sports need rivalries, villains, and favorites. The golf world would be best served with a repeat winner this week. That storyline would be better for the game, rather than adding another player to the list of potential breakthrough stars.

While golf still has Tiger Woods, it’s been five years since Tiger’s last major . . . his one-legged triumph over Rocco Mediate in a playoff at Torrey Pines. With four wins already this season, Tiger is favored to resume his march toward Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories. Yet despite a strong start to the season, just two weeks ago Woods finished in a tie for 65th at the Memorial, 20 shots behind Matt Kuchar.

Meantime, Phil Mickelson, Tiger’s chief foil over the last 10 years, has battled health and personal issues over the past couple of seasons. After

IN THE NEWS

Phil’s early season win in Phoenix he’s had three top five finishes this year, including this past week when he made a run and finished in a tie for second at the FedEx St Jude Classic.

After five runner-up finishes in the U.S. Open and surrounded by a fan base that loves him, can Mickelson win his first U.S. Open and get the final leg of his career back on track?

After breaking through for his first major at this year’s Masters, can Adam Scott add a US Open and build on the victories that the pundits predicted for the world’s most enviable golf swing?

Can Rory McIlroy right the ship and win his third major in as many years?

If these big name major champions are in the hunt on Sunday it would give the fans what they crave, and make NBC TV executives happy with big ratings. The storylines would stabilize the top of the golf world, which it hasn’t had since Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Paddy Harrington won 12 of 20 between 2004 and 2008.

In order for golf to thrive as a TV event it could use a repeat winner on Sunday. Consistent rivalries generate strong emotions. As it is, it’s tough enough to sustain fan interest in a sport that often has a different winner each week. The game of golf would definitely benefit if a familiar face hoists the U.S. Open trophy this Sunday.

HCBL Standouts Headed To The Pros

By Rick Murphy

If any doubts lingered about the quality of the players in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball league they were dispelled last week. Major league teams drafted 20 players who participated in the local summer league last week, a new record.

Stuart Turner of Mississippi University who played for Southampton in 2011, became the highest HCBL draftee ever when he was selected by the Minnesota Twins. Jordan Patterson, a standout for Westhampton in 2011 and a student at South Alabama, was taken by the Colorado Rockies the following round. The Twins went back to the well in the fifth round, selecting Aaron Siegers, who played for Riverhead and attends Indiana.

Later that round Kyle McGowin, who starred at Pierson and played for the Sag Harbor HCBL team in 2011 and 2012, was chosen by the Los Angeles Angels. McGowin is a standout pitcher for Savannah State.

Meanwhile, the 2013 season is underway and Center Moriches broke fastest from the gate, winning its first three games. Last Wednesday the Battlecats blew out Sag Harbor, 9-0. Center Moriches scored three in the first and kept the pressure

on throughout, stroking 16 hits to support Mike O’Reilly (five innings) and Nick Brass, who combined for the shutout. Gil and Rob Moore, who play for St. Peter’s, each drilled three hits to pace the attack. Paschal Petrongolo (Jacksonville State) and Dan Roland (St. John’s) had two apiece. It was the first loss of the season for Sag Harbor.

Westhampton got its first win of the season, nipping the North Fork 4-2 in a nail biter last Wednesday.

Credit Joey Havrilak (Akron), who broke up a pitchers’ duel with a run scoring single in the ninth inning. Westhampton tacked on an

insurance run courtesy of a wild pitch. Ryan Crawford, who plays for Hamilton, made the lead stand up, notching his first save of the season. Andrew Sesto (Dowling) was the winning pitcher. Havrilak’s hit was his second of the game. Mike D’Acunti (Temple) had two hits for the losers.

Tomorrow Shelter Island visits Riverhead in a game to be played at the high school. Sag Harbor plays at Center Moriches, and the North Fork takes on Westhampton at Aviator Field. First pitch is 5 PM for all games. For more upcoming games visit hamptonsbaseball.org.
