plane crash claims four lives

By T. E. McMorrow

A plane carrying four people crashed about a mile and a half off of Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett Saturday afternoon.

Bernard “Ben” Krupinski, 70, his wife, Bonnie Krupinski, 70, their grandson, William Maerov, 22, all of East Hampton, and the pilot of the plane, Jon Dollard, 47, of Hampton Bays, are all presumed dead.

The twin-engine Piper PA-31 Navajo, went down during a brief, but powerful rain squall.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it lost contact with the plane, which was headed toward East Hampton Airport, at 2:37 PM, but provided no additional information. “It was really bad,” Lt. Alaina Fagan of the U.S. Coast Guard said of the weather at the time of the crash.

Minutes before the crash, the skies over East Hampton and Amagansett darkened, turning almost black, as a heavy, sudden rainstorm erupted.

The crash triggered a massive search for survivors, with the Coast Guard dispatching two 87-foot patrol boats, the Bonito from Montauk and the Steelhead from Rhode Island, to the scene. The East Hampton Town police dive team and the marine patrol were on the scene shortly after the crash. An Air National Guard Sikorsky MH 60 Seahawk helicopter and a Coast Guard MH 60 Jayhawk helicopter from Cape Cod also took part in the search. Also helping in the search and rescue effort were numerous small boats, including a

number of fishing vessels.

Ocean lifeguards, who rushed to the scene on jet skis, recovered two bodies soon after the crash. The identities of the two victims had yet to be released as of Monday afternoon.

The Coast Guard continued its search overnight Saturday.

Conditions quickly deteriorated Sunday, with a roiling ocean producing six-foot and higher waves.

The Coast Guard suspended its search for the two remaining victims Sunday. “We have looked extensively,” Lt. Fagan said. “If the missing people on the plane were on the surface of the water, we are

The Krupinskis owned numerous businesses and commercial properties on the East End, including East Hampton Point, the 1770 House, and Cittanuova.

Krupinski was also the owner of Ben Krupinski Builders and had been called the “Contractor to the Stars” in an article that appeared in The New York Times in 1993.

Bonnie Krupinski was a member of Amagansett’s Bistrian family and active in numerous business and community affairs as well.

The couple was equally known for their philanthropic efforts, often anonymous, on the East End.

Mourners Remember Ben And Bonnie Krupinski

By Rick Murphy

Come to think of it, Bennie and Bonnie were East Hampton royalty, like the news services are reporting all over the world.

But Bernard Krupinski and his wife, Bonnie Bistrian Krupinski, weren’t born in castles attended by fair maidens with privileged childhoods.

June 6, 2018

Bonnie, the daughter of Pete and Mary Laura (Babe) Bistrian and one of seven children, grew up in a comfortable household where the operative words were hard work.

Ben was the kid from Fireplace.

His father was also named Bernard, his mother, Cecilia, who later married Ken Ackley. He had two full siblings, Sheila and Frank, and a half-brother, Kevin.

Ben and Bonnie were high school sweethearts — that part of the fairy

tale is true. But Ben is remembered by friends not as the “Builder to the Stars,” though he had some high-profile clients and built his share of luxury houses. His workmanship was a benchmark for his contemporaries.

He was much more of a presence at the many commercial buildings he owned around East Hampton, wearing work clothes, helping to steady the Christmas tree outside the Red Horse complex.

“The last time I saw him, he was up on a roof on Newtown Lane putting down shingles,” recalled Lona Rubenstein, a longtime friend.

The Bistrian family farmed and mined land locally, selling off sand and gravel dug from land once considered near worthless. When the Hamptons became in vogue, some of that land became valuable

real estate, and the Krupinskis, though a far cry from Camelot, became what one publication called “The First Family Of East Hampton.”

They developed a taste for fine foods and owned or co-owned some of the best restaurants in East Hampton, including The 1770 House and East Hampton Point, a complex that also housed a marina and a luxury boutique motel. They enjoyed flying as well, and Ben opened up a small charter business out of East Hampton Airport in the 1980s.

The news of their deaths hit hard.

Many of their friends, family, coworkers, and those whose lives they touched with their generosity actually saw or heard the band of intense weather with squall-like winds and devastating lightning as it came through town.

The bad news rolled through like a plague: Bonnie, 70, Ben 70, their grandson, William Maerov, 22, and pilot Jon Dollard, 47, were in Ben’s beloved Piper PA-31 Navajo off Indian Wells Beach when it went down.

Only moments passed before phones rang and social media posts multiplied. The magnitude of the news was such that neighbors walked out their doors and ran into other people who had just heard the news. Many had stories of a friend who was able to get help because of Bonnie’s largesse, or a niece who worked at one of the restaurants, or a donation Ben made with the stipulation his name not be used.

Social media buzzed. “The community is indebted to Ben and Bonnie — two of the greatest

Presto! In less than 15 minutes, you just cooked spaghetti aglio e olio, a delicious, inexpensive meal (about $5 today) for the whole family.

Here are a few more food ideas from past columns.

When I’m not eating it, I’m reading about it, I’m cooking it, I’m loving it.

I’m a food junkie.

I came from a home where great food was worshipped. Note I didn’t say expensive food — I said great food.

When I was a kid, and money was tight, all it took was a box of La Rosa spaghetti (price at the time: 17 cents a pound), four cloves of garlic (cost: three cents) and 1/3 cup of olive oil (cost: about 15 cents). That’s less than a dollar for my Mom to make a delicious meal for six people.

Here’s the recipe:

• Cool summer recipe: Pick up a pound of fresh raw scallops at the wonderful Seafood Shop in Wainscott. Slice them into thin slices, add the juice of one lemon, four ounces of great virgin olive oil, plenty of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Mix and leave in the refrigerator for two hours. Drain, then serve. Delicious.

• Here’s my favorite tomato sandwich, which comes from The New York Times food section:

Toast a few slices of great bread from Breadzilla in Wainscott. (Breadzilla, whose motto seems to be “We’re not here to smile, we’re here to sell you good bread,” bakes the best bread in the Hamptons.) Rub a whole garlic clove on both slices of the toasted bread. Cut a jalapeño pepper and rub it onto the bread, too.

Take a large ripe tomato, cut it in half, and rub the juicy delicious part on the bread until the bread is covered with tomato pulp. Slice the other half of the tomato, add some thinly sliced red onion, a little mayonnaise, a lot of salt, and dig in.

Best sandwich in the world.

• Here’s my recipe for linguini with clam sauce. I might add that no one

Buy a pound of the already shucked clams at the Seafood Shop in Wainscott. Ask the man behind the counter to chop those clams coarsely.

Also buy two dozen Little Neck clams, closed.

First you steam the closed Little Necks in a pan in olive oil and garlic.

When they open, they give off a lot of juice. Save the juice and the clams.

making the best creamy, delicious mozzarella in the United States.

Check that — he’s even better than the guys in Naples.

Pasquale is a mozzarella magician.

Slice one of his mozzarellas just after he made it, while it’s still warm, and serve it with luscious slices of ripe tomato, a little olive oil and basil, and your tongue and taste buds will thank you.

Then, put a generous pour of olive oil in a large pan and sauté about 10 garlic cloves for seven minutes, then add all of the clam juice that came out of the Little Necks. Plus, you can buy clam juice frozen at the Seafood Shop or ask the man behind the counter for some. Add the clam juice to the olive oil and garlic.

• Make yourself great hamburgers all summer long. To begin with, don’t use that 80-percent lean crap that they sell at the supermarket. Lean, dry hamburgers are yet another thing that we can blame on those politically correct fools who want to tell you what to eat and how to eat.

May their doctors put them on an all-kale-and-nothing-but-kale diet for the rest of their lives.

Then, toss your pasta into the chopped clams and oil and garlic mixture, turn up the heat for one minute, and mix the linguini and clams well. Garnish your dish with the two dozen Little Necks in their shells. Delicious.

• Here’s a great snack or a nice light appetizer that should make everyone happy, including those vegans in your life who, we all know, can be pains in the ass about food.

Turn the heat up until just about all of the clam juice is cooked off. In the end, you should have olive oil that tastes of clams. Add your pound of chopped clams into the oil-andclam-juice mixture and cook for about three minutes. Separately, cook a pound of linguini in salted boiling water until it is al dente.

• Want to taste mozzarella the way it tastes in Naples, Italy, the world capital of mozzarella making? Go to the Red Horse Market and run over to the section where Pasquale Langella presides over a mozzarella wonderland. Pasquale is a master at

And have you heard? It turns out fat may be good for you. If you’re in the Hamptons, go to Cromer’s on Noyac Road just outside Sag Harbor. It’s the best place for meat in the Hamptons. Ask for Ray (he’s the best butcher in the country) and ask him to chop you some delicious, fat-filled hamburger meat. Then enjoy the most delicious, juicy, tasty hamburgers you’ve had in years.

Take six endives and cut them down the middle. If your math is good, that should give you 12 halves.

Take a good olive oil (I use Monini Fruttato Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is criminally overpriced but delicious) and put two or three drops of olive oil on each endive half.

Crush and mash some garlic and put a little bit on each half (you can substitute garlic salt if you want to take the easy way out). Put the endive halves cut-side up in your George Foreman Grill and close the top for three or four minutes. When you open it, the endive should have brown grill marks and start to be translucent. Serve each endive piece as a snack or side dish.

I’ve got to stop writing about food.

sanD in my sHoes // denis Hamill with his older brother and cousin and two other kids he’d be joining at an upstate college in the fall, ready to spread his wings and flap from the nest for the very first time.

They were all lost in a soaring moment in a teenager’s life when you are certain you will live forever.

Ben Krupinski’s Final Flight With a clap of thunder, they were . . . gone.

Last Saturday I was at a high school graduation party for a good kid just getting started in life, when a news alert pinged from my smartphone.

Four people had just perished in a small plane crash in a sudden thunderstorm a mile from the shore of Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett.

As the graduation party crowd ate, drank, hugged, and highfived a young man’s future, police helicopters, Coast Guard cutters, and fishing boats raced to a debris field in the vast Atlantic to search for the bodies of Bernard (Ben) and Bonnie Krupinski, both 70, and their grandson, William Maerov, 22, all of East Hampton, and the pilot, Jon Dollard, 47, of Hampton Bays.

They would never attend another party.

I gazed from my phone as the graduate took a seat at a picnic table

Then I looked back at my phone, lost in a stream of breaking news updates that had nothing to do with Russian collusion, trade wars, job numbers, impeachment, or political scandal.

This was pure human drama, with a love story about a guy named Ben and a gal named Bonnie who graduated high school together over a half-century ago. They became sweethearts, and man and wife, and rich and famous, and beloved in their East End community.

Ben Krupinski was celebrated as the “contractor of the stars,” erecting mansions by the sea for Martha Stewart and Billy Joel and other boldface names until he had amassed a fortune of some $150 million. Ben and Bonnie were married for over 50 years, had one child, a former fashion model daughter, and two grandkids. On Saturday afternoon, they were flying in their old reliable Piper PA-31 Navajo to East Hampton Airport with plans for dinner and a movie.

Then, authorities suspect, the little plane got caught in the sudden updrafts and wicked winds of a thunderstorm and they never made their scheduled landing at East Hampton Airport. Somewhere between heaven and earth, thunder clapped and they just ran out of life, spiraling from the stormy afternoon sky and into the unforgiving sea.

I looked up from my news feed as loud high school grads all around me prepared for a giant step into this wonderful thing called life.

But I was drawn again into the unfolding real-time, real life, real death tragedy of these lost lives and the family members left to mourn and bury them.

I read that Ben Krupinski was a philanthropist, a generous fella who’d build Xanadu-like estates for the rich and then give back money, his time, skills, and elbow grease to community projects.

I looked up at the grad party where girls now joined the young guys at the crowded picnic table, telling stories out of high school and cracking wise in a timeless dance to spring fever with the best days of all their lives still ahead of them.

Yeah, Oscar Wilde was right that youth is wasted on the young.

But that’s why wasted youth is so much damned fun.

I didn’t know the guy.

Then I read about another kind of waste, another small plane, another single engine Piper PA that took off from Greenwood Lake Airport on May 3 at 2:30 PM and crashed a few miles away in parkland, killing the pilot and setting part of the Jungle Habitat theme park ablaze.

I also thought of famous people killed in these little flying jalopies — John Kennedy Jr., John Denver, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Rocky Marciano, Otis Redding, and Jim Croce.

But I knew all I needed to know about him as I read the heartbreak pouring in from people who’d worked with and for him. Listen, when workers shed tears for a boss, you know he had to be a pretty good guy.

Never again for me.

Krupinski owned restaurants, including The 1770 House and Cittanuova, and he was the kind of all-weather friend who instead of turning his back on her when she was down, picked up Martha Stewart in his private plane when she was released from prison.

I’m sure he had his enemies, like all of us do, and people who didn’t like him.

But I also thought that when you step onto one of those little toy planes, you are tossing a pair of dice across the green felt of life.

I thought of a pilot named Ken Johansen, who perished in fair weather at 1:52 PM on May 30, when his Geico Skytyper WWIIera war plane used in air shows took off from Republic Airport in Farmingdale and crashed five miles away in the wooded area of North Cote Drive in Melville across the street from a row of homes.

I flew in a tiny plane once, from Antigua to Montserrat, an amusement park ride without rails with a solo pilot. All I thought about was famed boxing trainer Cus D’Amato’s line about why he didn’t fly, “I don’t mind going when my number is up, but I don’t wanna go when some pilot’s number is up.”

I took another sweet, deep breath as the graduation party bubbled like good champagne.

Then I read a 1992 New York Times profile of Ben Krupinski

by Patricia Leigh Brown, who flew with the storied builder from LaGuardia to East Hampton in his eight-seat Navajo. Krupinski told her that the hardest part of being a contractor is walking away from a job upon completion and leaving behind one or two years of your life.

Brown asked Krupinski if flying is similar to being a contractor. “No similarities,” Krupinski said, except both require precision and thinking ahead. But in flying, “It’s a good job if you get to walk away from it.”

Last Saturday, Ben Krupinski didn’t get to walk away from his final flight.

On that note, I put away my phone and decided to join the party while it lasts.

I took a deep, sweet breath of life.

Obituary family, and the happy times he had spent here stayed with him. He settled in Sag Harbor in the late 1960s, purchasing two matching farmhouses on the same property with money he had earned from his published works.

He and Therriault, a former potterturned-psychotherapist who is now manager of the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum, divided their time between Sag Harbor, Key West, and Manhattan, eventually spending most of their time on the South Fork. Pintauro and Therriault were frequent theatergoers and gallery attendees, passionate supporters of the arts on the East End, and generous listeners, garnering many friends who are mourning Pintauro’s passing.

Joe Pintauro, Sag Harbor Playwright, Dies at 87

By Bridget LeRoy

“I’ve made a little hideout of this place in the dunes. I come here to write. I feel safe in this spot, sheltered, even though there’s no roof here anymore.” ***

June 6, 2018

The first line from Joe Pintauro’s world premiere of Men’s Lives was the first line spoken on the Bay Street stage when the theater opened its doors to the public on July 29, 1992. Pintauro’s words captured the hearts of the many who had come to the East End to make “a little hideout of this place in the dunes” — hearts that were saddened on May 29 when the well-loved playwright, poet, and author died at the Sag Harbor home he shared with his partner, Greg Therriault.

Pintauro may be best known on the East End for his adaptation of Peter Matthiessen’s book about the plight of the baymen, but other plays also received attention along with local (and New York City) productions, like Raft of the Medusa, Snow Orchid, and By The Sea, By The Sea, By The Beautiful Sea, a trilogy written in conjunction with Terrence McNally and Lanford Wilson.

It was only on May 25 that the Parrish Art Museum in Water

Mill mounted a world premiere production of Salvation, based on three of Pintauro’s one-act pieces from Metropolitan Operas, set to music by composer Kevin Jeffers.

Besides his plays, novels, and poetry, Pintauro was also a skilled photographer, publishing a limited edition art book, Nunc et Semper, filled with the photos he had taken of Venice’s Piazzo San Marco over the years.

In the book, he wrote: “We who live in the present, having struggled through our own times of hopes realized and abandoned, stories of our youth and what became of us…

How we believed those early years would fade and we would live in a bright new world. But now we look back at all we lost and it stings us with longing, though it brings you to mind, and in you, my darling one, an old, old faith lives and seems now, everlasting.”

His photographs have been shown in local galleries as well as being prized by collectors.

In his younger days, Pintauro attended college and then seminary, followed by six years spent as a radical priest during the Vietnam War. He joined underground Catholic organizations, and volunteered for TECHO, a non-

profit that was helping farmers in Latin America.

But when he responded to a Village Voice ad for playwrights, his early work, A, My Name is Alice, was chosen by Dustin Hoffman, who directed it, for a production featuring 10 new short plays. From there, he left the priesthood and became a fulltime published writer, with his novel Cold Hands being featured in The New York Times as one of its best picks of 1980.

Pintauro, who was born November 22, 1930, had visited the East End as a child, venturing from Ozone Park, Queens, with his

“Joe was a consummate playwright, a gifted poet, and a cherished friend,” said Emma Walton Hamilton, Bay Street’s cofounder.

“We will be forever grateful to him for giving us the beautiful play that opened Bay Street Theatre’s doors so long ago — Men’s Lives — along with so many other wonderful plays and memories of time spent together. He will be sorely missed.”

Donations in Pintauro’s memory can be made to the Sag Harbor Partnership at www. sagharborpartnership.org, or to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons at www.arfhamptons. org.

A celebration of his life will be held at Saint Andrew Catholic Church in Sag Harbor on Wednesday, June 6, at 11 AM.

Charge Government Hiding Extent Of PFAS Danger

By Rick Murphy

The two New York senators are demanding that the Trump administration turn over documentation they maintain will reveal that polyfluoroalkyl substances are even more toxic than originally feared.

Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, in a sharply worded letter to the Environmental Protection Agency dated May 15, demanded the information be released to their offices.

PFAS have been found in drinking wells in Wainscott, Hampton Bays, Yaphank, and Westhampton Beach, and in many other places across the nation.

The two senators contend that a study by the Department of Health and Human Services concludes, “These chemicals pose a danger to humans at far lower levels than the EPA said was safe.”

The letter, to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, accused officials from the White House, Department of Defense, and others of “intervening

to delay” the release of the study.

“I’m extremely disturbed by the report that the Trump administration is hiding information from the public about the dangers of PFAS because they are scared that Americans will be angry,” said Senator Gillibrand in a statement on Friday.

“This attempted cover-up is outrageous. Numerous communities in New York have already had their water supplies poisoned by these very chemicals, and if the Trump administration has more evidence that PFAS are harmful to people’s health, then they need to come clean and tell the public,” she added.

A study by the Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry was undertaken in response to widespread concerns over PFAS in drinking water tested nationwide. One of the main culprits has been the United States Air Force National Guard, as reported in The Independent on September 21, 2016. But before

the study could be made public, the Department of Defense intervened and blocked it, according to Senator Gillibrand, a ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Personnel Subcommittee.

The matter only came to the fore because the Union of Concerned Scientists filed a Freedom of Information request to the EPA in January. An email from an unnamed White House aide to the EPA was then released. “The public, media, and Congressional reaction to these numbers is going to be huge . . . The impact to EPA and DOD is going to be extremely painful. We cannot seem to get ATSDR to realize the potential public relations nightmare this is going to be,” it stated.

“I am deeply disturbed by reports that the Trump administration and top EPA officials are blocking a report vital to protect public health,” Schumer said earlier this week. “The American people need and deserve to know just how harmful PFAS and PFOA [perfluorooctanoic acid] are to the body.” He called the delay in releasing the study an attempt by the Trump administration, “to mislead or suppress this new information is an affront to communities in Newburgh, Suffolk and across the nation now confronting toxic PFOAPFOS [perfluorooctane sulfonate] contamination in their drinking water and beyond.” Schumer urged the EPA to “release this study immediately.”

10

There have been reports of contaminants being found at scores, if not hundreds, of other Air Force facilities across the country.

The Air Force acknowledges water testing done in or near air bases has already shown that the chemicals spread into public drinking water systems around Willow Grove, PA, Pease in Portsmouth, NH, and a third base — Eielson, in Alaska.

According to Sharon Lerner, author of The Teflon Toxin, perfluorinated compounds have also been detected in the ground water at many more bases, including the Air National Guard Base in Delaware; the Grissom Air Reserve Base in Indiana; and the Naval Air Station in Fallon, NV. According to a 2013 presentation by the Air Force, PFCs were found at every Air Force base that had been tested, which so far includes Randolph in Texas, Robins in Georgia, Beale and McClellan in California, Eglin in Florida, Ellsworth in South Dakota, and F.E. Warren in Wyoming.

“Given the scope of the contamination nationwide and the ongoing exposure of communities across the United States to these chemicals, it is imperative that the public receive an opportunity to review the ATSDR report,” the senators wrote in their letter to Pruitt.

It was signed by eight other senators: Thomas Carper, Debbie Stabonow, Jeanne Shaheen, Edward Markey, Elizabeth Warren, Patty Murray, Bernie Sanders, and Gary Peters.

In 2016, The Independent reported that Schumer and Gillibrand had accused the Air National Guard at Gabreski Airport as the culprit in the contamination of nearby drinking wells. There is a

National Guard base in Newburgh that is ground zero for PFOA contamination in nearby drinking wells.

Sailing Club Returns To Its Mecox Bay Home

By Stephen J. Kotz

Generations of kids living near Mecox Bay in Water Mill learned how to sail at the Mecox Yacht Club at the end of Bay Lane. Never mind the exclusive sounding name, the “club” consisted only of a 12-by16-foot storage shed with a small front porch attached to it, and a few Sunfish sailboats scattered about.

Operating from at least the 1930s, if not earlier, the club once sat next to farm fields at its Bay Lane location. Eventually, it found itself

hemmed in by big houses and their bigger hedges. By the late 1980s, the club had fallen on hard times, as membership dwindled. The little clubhouse was abandoned, and the land around it was overgrown with weeds.

But about seven years ago, a group of former members asked the Southampton Town Board to help it restore the club. After a court battle with neighbors, who objected to the use, was resolved, the town last year agreed to underwrite the

construction of a new clubhouse at the site.

On at 10 AM on Wednesday, June 6, the results of that effort were to be on display when the town held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the recently-constructed clubhouse building, which is just as low-key, if a bit more expensive, than the one it replaces.

“I’m very excited to finally see this come to fruition,” said Councilwoman Christine Scalera.

“And all of the credit goes to the

HEALTHY

community members who had the fortitude and passion to see this through. It’s a very exciting day when we can celebrate both the history and the memories of the site and the many more memories to be made there in the future.”

Besides Scalera, three long-time club members who led the effort to restore the club — Julie Burmeister, Jeff Mansfield, and Andy Russell — were expected to be on site, as were Town Parks Director Kristen Doulos and other town staff.

No Permit For Flanders Beach In Access War

By Peggy Spellman Hoey

Turns out a Flanders beach frequented by sunbathers and dog walkers that has divided a community over whether it is public or private is not a permitted beach at all, according to the Suffolk County Department of Health Services.

Dubbed Bay View Pines Beach, the spit of land at the end of Long Neck Boulevard has long been considered by residents to be private because the homeowners’ association of the same name once owned the access rights.

Two properties that were once a part of the beach have been purchased for public purposes — one a Suffolk County tax lien sale, and the other using funds from New York Rising after Superstorm Sandy.

Though the beach is used by swimmers, kayakers, and paddle boarders, it is not a permitted bathing beach, which involves the placement of a lifeguard, bathrooms, and water testing, said the county’s Department of Health Services spokeswoman Grace Kelly-McGovern. She said those factors are not necessarily something the county checks for either.

“The health department’s purview is to test the water at permitted beaches, so this is not a beach that our people are aware of. If it is a beach that is owned by a property owners’ association, it would be the same as a private owner,” she said.

Kelly-McGovern said the county would have to first know if the beach is advertised as a beach, then they could take a look at it. “As of now, it looks like the end of the road to our people if they look on a map,” she added.

There is currently a sign at the beach placed by the Bay View Pines Civic Association stating that the beach is private and visitors are using it at their own risk.

Ed Warner, chairman of the trustees, said the beach is considered a trustee access point for residents to use for recreation such as fishing and kayaking. It is one of a number of beaches for those purposes along with Peconic Road along Shinnecock Bay, and Triton, Dolphin, and Mermaid lanes along Dune Road in East Quogue and Hampton Bays, respectively, according to Warner. To him, visitors should be responsible.

“People have to use common sense and respect the environment. So, it’s putting the question on the people how they use the access,” he said.

The county cited Southampton Town back in 2004 because people were using Trout Pond in Noyac as a swimming area and it was not a permitted bathing beach.

The action was spurred after a swimming accident. The town was then forced to place no swimming signs at the location.

A dispute erupted over the beach last month between the Flanders, Riverside, and Northampton Community Association, which obtained the trustees’ permission to use the beach for a memorial vigil recently, and the Bay View Pines Civic Association. The community association had hoped to hold a candlelight vigil later this month to mark the loss of residents who died over the year, but the civic association opposed the location because it is too small and could create parking issues, instead requesting an alternate location.

Trustee Ann Welker, who is the board’s liaison to the Flanders area, was expected to meet with the community association and the civic association after deadline to discuss the dispute over the beach.

in person by Governor Andrew Cuomo as part of his statewide reef restoration that expands on his “Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative,” an effort to improve recreational activities and to boost tourism opportunities throughout the state. The reef restoration program will bolster 12 artificial reefs off the shores of Long Island in the largest expansion of artificial reefs in state history.

TAPPAN ZEE Bolsters Shinnecock Reef

By Peggy Spellman Hoey

June 6, 2018

Two Native American words from different regions of the state were joined in the most unlikely way last week.

On May 31, the first round of recycled materials from the former Tappan Zee Bridge, which got its name from the Algonquin word for a tribe along the Hudson River and the Dutch word for water, was dropped into the Atlantic Ocean near Shinnecock Inlet. The old bridge material was brought in to help bolster an artificial reef in an effort to boost marine life.

Over 1000 tons of materials were

added to the 35-acre Shinnecock Reef, which is located two nautical miles from shore and is 85 feet at its deepest point. Barges dropped 885 tons of recycled and decontaminated material from the former Tappan Zee Bridge, as well as deconstructed state Department of Transportation project materials, including triangular trusses, concrete deck panels, steel beams, girders, and foundation pipes.

The state also placed three decommissioned canal boats at the reef, including a 110-foot barge, 74-foot tugboat, and 40-foot tender.

The installation was launched

The materials will be strategically placed to improve the state’s diverse marine life and boost Long Island’s recreational, sport fishing, and diving industries. In addition to the inaugural expansion of the Shinnecock Reef, five additional reef sites will be enhanced this year at sites off the shores of Moriches, Fire Island, Smithtown, Hempstead, and Rockaway.

Cuomo noted the importance the reef restoration will have on the state’s economy, by supporting nearly 350,000 jobs and generating billions of dollars through tourism, fishing, and other industries.

“Long Island’s economy thrives when there are fish for anglers to catch and recreational opportunities to explore marine life along the coast,” said the governor. “These artificial reefs are an investment in a stronger, more diverse marine ecosystem that will bolster the economy and bring a new purpose

to the former Tappan Zee Bridge that will continue to serve New Yorkers for generations to come.”

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said the governor is leading the way toward improving Long Island’s water quality and restoring our marine ecosystems. “This is a critical step to ensuring the health and economic well-being of our region, and I thank the governor for his continued commitment to protecting our environment,” he said.

State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos said the innovative program, which reuses waste materials from infrastructure projects, will expand the state’s critical network of artificial reefs that support local economies and improve the health of our fisheries.

“Through Governor Cuomo’s leadership, our communities, anglers, and environment all stand to benefit from the state’s largest expansion of the artificial reef program,” he added.

Bill Ulfelder, executive director for The Nature Conservancy in New York, called it an exciting moment for diving and fishing enthusiasts, and an important step for marine life. “The Nature Conservancy applauds Governor Cuomo and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for moving this exciting initiative forward,” he said.

“On Long Island and across New York our economy, health, and way of life all depend on nature. Like other initiatives recently announced

by Governor Cuomo aimed at improving water quality and revitalizing shellfish and ocean life, this project is a win for New York’s fishermen, coastal communities, and ocean,” said Ulfelder.

Shinnecock Indian Nation Tribal Trustee Lance Gumbs said the initiative will help improve the economy by increasing fishing opportunities. He said the installation was a sight worth seeing.

“It’s interesting. They are dropping pieces of the Tappan Zee and you can see them splashing into the water,” he said.

Zach Attack: Deepwater A No Go

By Rick Murphy

looks like the pressure was coming from the top.”

Zach Cohen, who came within a handful of votes of becoming East Hampton Town supervisor, is urging town officials to reject Deepwater Wind’s plan to build 15 wind turbines off the coast of Montauk.

Cohen believes the town needs to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. “They [The Democrats] acted in an accepting manner way too early. We should have hired independent consultants.

We should have a master plan.”

Cohen said the Deepwater energy would be inefficient, in addition to being costly. And it is unlikely to achieve the desired green effects of cleaner air and fossil free fuels.

Deepwater’s Project, called the South Fork Wind Farm, promises to produce “enough clean, renewable energy” and claims to be “the most affordable solution” to local clean energy needs.

“Europe went all in for wind power and it has had a minimum effect on fossil fuel generated,” Cohen said.

“It’s not going to do anything for East Hampton. It’s not going to make our air cleaner.”

Cohen said his analysis is that the project will cost ratepayers far more than anyone involved is letting on. “The starting price is at about 2.2 times the market rate paid by LIPA, the average price about three times today’s market rate, and the final price about four times the current market rate,” Cohen said.

Cohen ran an unsuccessful Democratic primary race for East Hampton Town Board last year — he lost to Jeff Bragman, who was subsequently elected to the board.

“I commented about this back then. They were talking about a reseeding in Napeague Harbor and here comes [Deepwater] wanting to run a cable through the harbor.”

Deepwater is currently planning

Cohen narrowly lost the 2011 race against the incumbent Republican Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson in a race so close it took the Board of Elections almost three weeks to finalize the tally. The final plurality was only 11 votes.

It’s That Season Again

By Rick Murphy

The official start was June 1, and those of us who live here on the East End know what to expect.

There will be plenty of grumbling.

Some of our houses may well be wrecked. Traffic will snarl, and the lines in the grocery stores will be unbearable. And on top of that, it is likely we will lose electricity at some point.

Be prepared to live like this for the next few months until the season is mercifully over.

Hurricane season, that is.

June 6, 2018

The folks at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center have checked in, and their prediction is not a good one: There’s a 35 percent chance of an above-normal hurricane season, according to their computer models.

Spoiler alert: It’s the 80th anniversary of the Hurricane of 1938. “History repeats itself,” warned Southampton Town

Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor.

Historically, there are typically 12 major storms each season, six of which develop into hurricanes.

Three of those turn into major hurricanes. A “major hurricane” is a term used by the National Hurricane Center for storms that reach maximum sustained oneminute surface winds of at least 115 mph. This is the equivalent of Category 3, 4, and 5 on the SaffirSimpson scale.

June 1 is a bit early for hurricanes in this neck of the woods. “Early August through October” is the local season, said Jay Engle of the National Hurricane Center New York region. “The peak season is late September to early October.” The season ends officially November 30.

Gerry Bell is a hurricane climate specialist and research meteorologist at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center in Camp Springs, Maryland. He said the La

Niña cycle, which will likely be a dominant climate factor this year, tends to support developing storms as opposed to El Niño pattern. “It’s really conducive to hurricanes,” Bell said. The major factor in a North Atlantic hurricane is water temperature. Right now, the ocean’s temperature is a “bit below normal,” Bell said, but it is anticipated to be slightly higher than usual during the summer.

Most locals will remember Hurricane Bob as one of the costliest hurricanes in New England history. The second named storm and first hurricane of the 1991 Atlantic hurricane season, Bob developed from an area of low pressure near the Bahamas on August 16. It brushed the Outer Banks of North Carolina on August 18 and 19, intensifying into a major hurricane. After peaking in intensity with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph, Bob weakened slightly as it approached the coast of New England.

Bob made landfall twice in Rhode

Most municipalities don’t do anything differently, even if an active hurricane season is forecast.

Gregor says he puts in a budget after analyzing his department’s expected expenses, but the amount he requests is typically pared back by the town board.

“The town budgets for a 75-degree day,” Gregor said. “I asked for $3 million for new equipment. They gave me 700,000.”

One thing is for certain: after a hurricane, the cleanup costs are massive. Workers run up overtime as they struggle to make the roads passable again. “FEMA will reimburse us for overtime, but it takes a long time to get the money,” Gregor said. In the interim Gregor dips into reserve funds or requests money from the town’s general fund.

The hurricane of ’38 “was the worst natural disaster in American history, greater than even the Chicago fire or San Francisco earthquake,” according to the New England Journal. It was dubbed “The Long Island Express” and smashed into the East End on September 21. The Daily News reported that “scores of bodies washed ashore a 50-mile stretch of ocean beach” and the death toll was 30 by the following day.

Local News A vast industrial park could be on tap for the 70-acre gravel pit in Wainscott, according to plans on file at the East Hampton Town Planning Department.

Independent/T.E. McMorrow

wainscott Industrial park planned

By T. E. McMorrow

A proposal to subdivide most of the 70.5-acre gravel pit in Wainscott into 50 buildable lots, all zoned for commercial-industrial use, is in its beginning stages, according to the plans for the project on file with the East Hampton Town Planning Department.

The gravel or sand pit, owned by John Tintle, lies just north of Old Montauk Highway, south of the Long Island Rail Road tracks, east

of Wainscott Northwest Road, and west of Hedges Lane. Most of the newly created lots, according to the survey on file, would be slightly smaller than one acre in size.

The two largest lots in the proposal are to the south of the parcel, near the highway. A newly created lot, at the southeast corner of the current property, would be six acres in size.

The other, at the southwest corner, would be slightly larger than four acres. Those two lots currently have industrial structures on them, most

of which would remain.

The plan calls for a 75-foot wide buffer zone bordering both the Hedges Lane side of the project and the Wainscott Northwest Road side. The complex would be entered by a roadway at its southeastern corner and from Georgica Drive at the southwestern corner. The newly created lots are to be laid out in four rows, running south to north, with a fifth row of lots running west to east along the railroad tracks.

The interior lots would be accessed by two roadways running the extent of the proposed subdivision, south to north.

The plan appears to fly in the face of the town’s ongoing Wainscott hamlet study. In the illustration of the map for the master plan included with that study, where Tintle sees 40,000-square-foot industrial lots, the town sees a “community center, ball fields,

‘Standing By’ At U.S. Open

A foreign yacht sailed up into Peconic Bay around the time of the U.S. Open 14 years ago — three years after the September 11 terrorist attacks — with illegal guns on board. It turned out to be an innocuous case of someone misunderstanding the gun laws in the United States. Now fast forward to the present day, when terrorist attacks have become more commonplace worldwide, upping the ante on security concerns for a national sporting event.

Regardless of the scenario, local law enforcement and their public safety partners are prepared for next week’s golf championship.

“Then take that to another level where you have a person or persons who want to disrupt the event in the form of a terrorist type action.

For medical emergencies, there will be a combination of paid responders and volunteers from the USGA and local agencies.

There will be roughly 100 medical personnel on site daily throughout the week-long event, and there will be police and emergency response vehicles like the Medical Crisis Action Team, or MedCat, and ambulances located inside and outside the course at several stations to get sick people out of the course quickly for treatment.

“We will have medical personnel, some on bicycle, some ready to roll with an ambulance, if necessary, to meet just about any need. We even role-played the potential for any food-borne epidemics, just a potential. All of these things, we hope don’t occur, but we prepare for them in the event that they do,” Skrynecki said.

Schneiderman Runs For Comptroller

By Stephen J. Kotz

Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, who announced last week he would run for Suffolk County comptroller in November, said the opportunity to “represent the county I’ve spent my entire life in” was simply too big to pass up, despite what he says are financial difficulties lurking around the corner.

“This is an unprecedented time in the history of Suffolk County,” he said.

“Our finances are in critical condition

and Suffolk County residents need a comptroller who will help get the county back to fiscal health.”

Schneiderman said his experience as the chief financial officer of two towns and his 12 years in the county legislature, which included a stint as deputy presiding officer, would allow him to be “an independent voice and vigilant fiscal watchdog for the taxpayers of Suffolk.”

He said the county is borrowing nearly $500 million a year in

future revenues to get through the current fiscal year, a practice he called unsustainable. Schneiderman promised to help the county establish a structurally balanced budget and said he would participate in regular meetings of the county’s Audit Committee and work to find ways to save taxpayer dollars.

“We are not going to be able to fix this overnight. It could take 10 years,” he said of correcting the county’s spending woes. “But you can’t

keep borrowing against future tax revenues.”

Schneiderman said when he was in the legislature, “we weren’t perfect,” but lawmakers were at least willing to confront budget issues and made some hard decisions, including layoffs and selling county property.

If his bid to unseat Republican John M. Kennedy Jr. falls short, Schneiderman said he would complete the year remaining on his term as town supervisor and would entertain running for a third term as the town’s top elected official.

There has been speculation for months that Schneiderman, who changed his party affiliation to the Democratic Party from the Independence Party late last year, would seek county office. His decision has been supported by his Democratic colleagues on the board.

“Jay is a qualified public servant and he would excel in the position of comptroller,” said Councilman Tommy John Schiavoni. “He understands municipalities and he understands municipal finance. It would be the county’s gain and the town’s loss.”

“I wish him all the best,” said Councilwoman Julie Lofstad. “He’s a smart guy and he cares a lot about the people he represents.”

“He brings a lot to the table,” added Councilman John Bouvier. “He’s has a lot of talent and we’ll miss him if he prevails.”

Conor Patrick Daly Harkins, son of a prominent New York attorney, was charged by East Hampton Village police with burglary and criminal mischief after allegedly breaking into a Dunemere Lane house.

After spending the rest of the day and night in a holding cell in East Hampton Village police headquarters, Harkins was brought to the East Hampton Town Justice Court Saturday morning to be arraigned before Justice Steven Tekulsky. Seated in the courtroom was a man identified as Harkins’s father, Peter Harkins. He is the head of Kovler Harkins, a law firm with offices on Wall Street and in London.

Justice Tekulsky asked Harkins what he did for a living. He answered that he had just completed his freshman year in college, and was about to start working in retail for J. Crew. He told the judge he lives with his parents at 1215 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

The phone number that he gave the court is registered to his father, according to online records.

police: teen charged in burglary

By T. E. McMorrow

East Hampton Village police charged Conor Patrick Daly Harkins, 19, with burglarizing the Dunemere Lane estate formerly owned by the journalist George Stephanopoulos, and his wife, actress Alexandra Wentworth.

June 6, 2018

Police were called to 20 Dunemere Lane on Friday morning by a work crew who had discovered the front gate had been forced open. After the crew entered the property, they discovered Harkins lying unconscious on the front lawn, his face covered with blood.

Police said Harkins had forced his way first through the gated driveway and then smashed his way through the front door of the main house on the property. Once inside, police said, Harkins began smashing things.

Among the items destroyed or badly damaged, according to the complaint, was a dining room table, the walls of the dining room, the front and rear screen doors, and several screen windows. Harkins was charged with burglary, for breaking into the house with the intent to commit a crime, and criminal mischief, for causing more than $1,500 in damage. Both charges are felonies. Police estimate the cost of the damage at more than $10,000. Harkins was also charged with trespassing as a misdemeanor.

According to statements made to police, the burglary occurred following a post-prom party at the estate on Further Lane belonging to Marc and Diane Spilker.

Harkins was identified as one of a large group attending the party.

Police said the group was picked up by bus at 56th Street and Sutton Place midnight Friday. Another teen, whose name is being withheld by police because of his age, said the group was drinking throughout the night, from the beginning of the bus ride.

At about 6 a.m., the teen told police, he realized that “Conor is acting weird.” The teen was trying to talk Harkins into riding in an Uber with him back to Manhattan. Harkins began talking about getting “a jetpack, and then we can leave this planet.”

Harkins got into the Uber with the other teen, but began acting unruly, kicking and punching the roof and

the seat in front of him. When the Uber stopped at the intersection of Dunemere Lane and James Lane, Harkins got out of the car and began walking down Dunemere Lane. “We sat there for about 10 seconds, then I just told the driver to take me back to the city,” the teen told detectives.

Harkins has no prior relationship to Stephanopoulos, his wife, or the current owners of 20 Dunemere Lane, police said. After finding Harkins Saturday morning, police were concerned enough that he was taken to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, where he was treated, before being returned to police custody. “I don’t know how I ended up at that house you found me at,” Harkins told police as they questioned him at the

Harkins’s attorney, Richard Pellegrino II responded that this was Harkins’s first arrest ever, that his father is an attorney who was in the courtroom, and that he had retained private counsel. He suggested $5,000 as an appropriate amount. Justice Tekulsky agreed. Harkins was then taken back to headquarters on Cedar Street, where his father posted bail.

Besides the main house, 20 Dunemere Lane also has a guesthouse, and a 60-foot-long pool.

The main house was built about 1890, and the architect Francis Fleetwood designed an addition to it in 1993.

Stephanopoulos and Wentworth sold the house in 2013 for more than $5.1 million to a limited liability company.

Police “I wish you could have listened to some of the sage advice she has offered over the years,” Wilson said.

Wilson went on to tell Quinn she believes his grandmother would do anything for him, then told him about the 1970s police drama, “Baretta,” in which the main character’s catch phrase was that bad guys end up dead or in jail.

“Your grandmother doesn’t want either of those for you. I hope you figure that out,” she said.

Quinn’s grandmother, and a female friend from the Shinnecock Indian Reservation, declined to speak with a reporter as they exited the courthouse following his arraignment.

Teen Held In Fatal Crash

By Peggy Spellman Hoey

Chace Quinn, 19, the Southampton teen prosecutors say was caught on camera drinking alcohol in a Hampton Bays bar, then driving a 2013 Jeep Wrangler that struck and killed a man on County Road 39 in April, is being held at the Suffolk County jail in Riverhead in lieu of $1 million cash bail.

If Quinn is able to post bail, he will be required to wear a globalpositioning ankle bracelet for law enforcement tracking purposes.

Quinn, who allegedly has ties to the Bloods gang, hit 63-year-old deliveryman Joseph Lynn McAlla in the early hours of April 5, leaving him to die in the street, a Suffolk prosecutor said in court on May 29.

Video surveillance showed Quinn drinking at Bays Bar and Grill, where he consumed numerous alcoholic drinks over a few hours, before leaving in a Jeep headed east toward Southampton, according to Assistant District Attorney Maggie Bopp.

24

Quinn, who had been on the lam from law enforcement since a fight shortly before the fatal car crash, was arrested on a warrant and charged with first-degree vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident without reporting, both felonies.

Hauled into the court in handcuffs, Quinn wore rumpled clothes including a gray hoodie sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and a pair of Nikes. His words were barely audible when he spoke to his attorney, Peter Smith of Northport, who entered a not guilty plea for him.

Quinn had evaded the law for two months, Bopp said. Along with his associates, Quinn was involved in a fight at Bays Bar, where two men suffered serious injuries, including a broken nose, orbital socket, and fractured teeth, for which he was charged with second-degree gang assault, she added.

After the fatal car crash, Quinn changed his cell phone number

several times and went as far as to threaten a “potential witness” on March 16, placing a handgun on the victim’s lap, “placing that individual in fear of their life,” Bopp said. For this incident, Quinn was additionally charged with menacing.

Quinn was also charged with second-degree obstruction of governmental administration by Southampton Village Police for using his car to block an unmarked police car, which was involved in a high speed chase, from entering the Shinnecock Indian Reservation to follow a suspect back in December.

In her summary, Bopp noted Quinn has a 15-page rap sheet, with “multiple contacts with the criminal justice system.”

Charges on Quinn’s record include a driving while intoxicated conviction at 17 years old, along with second-degree assault as a youthful offender for which he served one year in jail, she said.

Judge Wilson, who apparently presided over previous cases of Quinn’s, admonished him, reminding him that his grandmother, who attended the arraignment, has always been at his side in court.

Three orders of protection were issued against Quinn, two for the victims injured in the fight at Bays Bar and Grill. It is not clear who the third order of protection is for.

On the top charge of first-degree vehicular manslaughter, Quinn faces up to 15 years in a state prison if convicted.

Quinn’s arrest was the result of a joint investigation by Southampton Town and New York State police, the U.S. Marshall Service, and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

Quinn, a minor at the time, was arrested in March 2016 for shooting three men in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Southampton Village. After the shooting, residents organized a Neighborhood Watch group and requested that police install video surveillance cameras to address quality-of-life concerns last year.

The investigation into Quinn is continuing. Southampton Town Police ask anyone with information to contact their detective squad at 631-702-2230.

June 6, 2018

The same Jeep can later be seen on video striking McAlla as he closed a gate at Southampton Masonry, where he was making a delivery,

severing his leg in the process.

McAlla was “left in the street to die,” Bopp said during Quinn’s arraignment in Southampton Justice Court before Justice Barbara Wilson.

Smith, who is privately retained, could offer no background on Quinn, but noted that Quinn “stands presumed innocent on all the charges.” Smith will be conducting his own investigation.

“I do offer condolences to the family of Joseph McAlla,” he added.

Woman Bailed Out On Weapons Charge

By Peggy Spellman Hoey

A woman from North Augusta, SC, who was arrested for having a loaded .38 caliber handgun in her car over Memorial Day weekend, was released on $13,000 bail or $31,000 bond on Wednesday, May 30, according to the Suffolk County Sheriff ’s office.

Ashley Nicole Wheeler, 23, posted bail hours after a court appearance in Southampton Town Justice Court. Wheeler, who came to New York with her boyfriend to work at a golf course for the season, spent several days at the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverside, where she was held on $30,000 bail because she could not establish her residency at the Flanders rental where she is living, according to her attorney, Edward Burke of Noyac.

prior arrests, was given the handgun for protection by her mother and was ignorant of New York’s laws prohibiting the possession or transportation of a loaded gun without a license, Burke explained.

He added that he looks forward to addressing all aspects of his client, both “personally and professionally,” with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.

Wheeler, wearing gray dress pants and a blue-and-white-checked dress blouse, told the court she

lives with her boyfriend in North Augusta and has plans to re-enroll in Augusta University to study dental hygiene.

She was caught with a loaded handgun and mace in her car at a checkpoint, which was conducted by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s East End Driving While Intoxicated Tax Force, targeting drunk and drugged drivers in Flanders, and a male passenger in her car at the time of the arrest was charged with possession of

marijuana, a violation.

Wheeler, however, was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a felony, and fourth-criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor, as well as possession of a noxious material, a misdemeanor.

If convicted, Wheeler is facing up to 15 years in prison on the top charge of weapons possession and is due back in court at a later date.

Police on Springy Banks Road in Northwest Woods early on May 29. Police said he was driving a 2007 Chrysler at a speed of 50 mph in a 30-mph zone. The arresting officer reported that Viteritti was sweating profusely, his speech was rambling, and he appeared agitated. Ordered to step out of the car, “he collapsed to the ground,” the officer reported. “I took a few puffs on the pipe, and popped Xanax,” Viteritti is quoted as telling her.

After the arrest, police searched Viteritti’s vehicle, finding five small plastic baggies in a backpack. “That’s crystal meth,” Viteritti allegedly said. Police also said they found three glass pipes on the floor. Aside from the felony, police tacked on two misdemeanor possession charges.

Unable to post $2500 bail, Viteritti spent the next five days in county jail. Because he was not indicted by a grand jury within that five-day period, he was released without having to post bail, and will be due back in court at a later date.

Luis Parra-Gomez, 32, of Springs, was driving a 2008 Honda north on Three Mile Harbor Road early Saturday morning when he failed to dim his headlights for an oncoming patrol car, leading to a traffic stop and an arrest on drunk driving charges. Because he was convicted of driving while intoxicated as a misdemeanor last year, the new charge is a felony.

Parra-Gomez was hit with a second felony for driving on a revoked license following last year’s conviction, police said.

After he pleaded guilty last year, he was fined by Justice Lisa Rana $1000, plus a surcharge of $400.

According to East Hampton Town Justice Court records, Parra-Gomez has not paid that fine. Justice Rana issued a warrant for his arrest June 12 of

During his arraignment later that morning, he was represented

by Carl Irace, who told East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky that Parra-Gomez had $3000 he could put toward bail.

Justice Tekulsky was dubious.

He pointed out that ParraGomez had never paid his fine.

Additionally, he said, ParraGomez continued to drive, despite not having a license, and despite the fact that Justice Rana had previously revoked his driving privilege. “He does what he wants to do,” Justice Tekulsky said, as he set bail at $5000.

Peter Williams, 46, was arrested May 30 after police said he was driving a 2004 Hyundai erratically in downtown Montauk. At headquarters, he refused to take the breath test. “I will ride one of my three bicycles around now,” he allegedly told police. Justice Tekulsky suspended his license for the next year for his refusal to take the test. An Australian working as a bartender in Montauk, he was asked by the judge if he planned on returning to Australia this year. “Not if I don’t have to,” Williams replied.

He posted $500 bail.

The final arrest of the week on DWI charges made by town police was that of Mia Fugosic, 34. Fugosic was driving a rented 2018 Ford Focus west on Main Street in Amagansett a little before midnight when police said they stopped her for speeding.

The Queens resident was charged with misdemeanor DWI and released on her own recognizance Monday morning with a future date on the East Hampton Town Justice Court calendar.

There was one DWI arrest on Shelter Island this week. Antonio Villanueva-Avile, 40, of Aguada, Puerto Rico, was arrested early Thursday morning. He was charged as a first-time offender at the misdemeanor level.

Villanueva-Avile was held until he was arraigned later that day and released without bail.

last year.

police The driver, Jose Romero-Flores, 33, of Woodhaven, allegedly drove off without stopping after striking Pitt who was crossing Montauk Highway, which was crowded with young revelers outside the Memory Motel on the south side of the road, and the Point Bar and Grill on the north side, at about 12:38 in the morning May 26.

Jose romeroFlores was charged with drunken driving and leaving the scene of an accident in which there was physical injury.

Also in the crowd were fire marshals from the Town of East Hampton, as well as several officers patrolling the scene to control the crowd. With a description of the 2016 Ford van registered to a Manhattan gourmet food company, Todaro Brothers, police were able to track the vehicle down as it headed west on Montauk Highway. Romero-Flores told police he was unaware that he had hit anybody, though Pitt was reportedly struck hard enough as to be thrown through the air after impact.

The 26-year-old journalist who was struck by a van being driven by an allegedly drunk driver in downtown Montauk remained in Stony Brook University Hospital Monday, nine days after the accident. Sofia Pitt, a producer with the CNBC network,

spoke briefly with a reporter Saturday, saying that she considered herself “lucky” to have survived. She declined further comment.

Romero-Flores was initially charged with misdemeanor drunken driving.

However, the district attorney’s office could bring more charges. District Attorney Tim Sini’s office would not comment Monday as to whether or not it has opened an investigation

into the recent incident.

Montauk Fire Department Chief Vincent Franzone said this week that he was hoping to meet with East Hampton Town police Chief Michael Sarlo regarding traffic control on Montauk Highway in downtown Montauk to explore whether there was something that can be done “immediately” to decrease the chance of a repeat incident. The police already have a heavy presence in downtown Montauk, particularly between the hours of midnight and 4 AM, and also particularly between South Emery and South Embassy Streets, where the Memory Motel and the Point Bar and Grill are located.

The problem, the chief said, is that Montauk Highway is a state road, and any substantial changes will have to involve the state. Still, he is hoping to explore any doable option that would slow motorists down as the revelers crowd the streets, walking back and forth between the two bars.

Romero-Flores is currently free on $1,500 bail.

Facing Felony narcotics cHarge

By T. E. McMorrow

June 6, 2018

A traffic stop by the East Hampton Town police early Saturday, June 2, led to the arrest of a Springs man on a felony narcotics charge.

According to the police, the license plate on the 2015 Jeep being driven on Fort Pond Boulevard by Jhony Nieto, 38, was not legible because it was dirty and improperly lit, leading to the stop.

During a search of the car, the officer said she found four plastic bags containing an aggregate of more than a half gram of cocaine.

“I did that whole bag about three hours ago,” she said Nieto told her. She also reported finding

an e-cigarette containing liquid marijuana.

Nieto was charged with possession of cocaine as a felony, along with a misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance. He was held for arraignment later that morning. “If you check my record, I’ve been in the country for 20 years, and this is the first time I’ve been arrested,” Nieto told East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky.

While Justice Tekulsky agreed that Nieto has a clean record, he set bail at $1000, citing the severity of the charge. Nieto posted bail at police headquarters and was released.

A Walk Down Memory Lane with Carol Sherman

By Valerie Bando-Meinken

“My family was eccentric, talented, zany, interesting, and dysfunctional, but happy,” said Carol Sherman, relaxing on the couch at her home in East Hampton. “And,” she continued, “we loved to eat. We were recreational eaters because eating is fun! We always ate our meals as a family and our meals were what I call festive eating experiences.”

28

“We lived in a tenement in the Bronx,” she remembered. “My mother, Betty, was a ‘fast stepper.’

She danced at the Cotton Club with George Raft. I had three brothers.

My one brother would always be out front fixing old Fords. He’d buy old Model Ts and As that weren’t running, fix them up, and sell them for more than he paid for them.

The neighbors called us ‘The Crazy Shermans.’”

Carol’s brother was not the only entrepreneur in the family. “With three brothers,” Carol said, “I was only safe at the sewing machine!

In the late 1960s, Carol opened her own shop on St. Mark’s Place in the East Village. She named it The Fast Stepper in honor of her mother.

Carol loved to travel and loved to meet different people. It was on one of her many trips, while skiing in the Alps, that she met Eugene Cooper, her future husband.

With Gene’s encouragement, Carol opened a designer clothing shop on Jobs Lane in Southampton in 1970.

Not knowing what to name it, Gene suggested she call it Carol Sherman.

She was hesitant because she said, “No one knows who Carol Sherman is.” Gene assured her saying, “But soon they will.”

Carol spoke of her husband lovingly.

“He was always supportive and encouraging. When we met, we knew we were meant to be together.

We were soulmates. We were married over 12 years when he died suddenly from heart problems. I knew that Gene wouldn’t want me to be hurt, but honestly, divorce would have been easier to handle.”

Carol’s careers varied. In addition to being a fashion designer, she was

a teacher, an associate professor, a private chef, and even a lifeguard.

She laughs, “I was in my 50s and I was the oldest lifeguard on record at the time. I love to swim.”

Also, Carol had so many requests for the muffins she would bake, she started selling them to farm stands under her private label Muffin Mama.

Active in the poetry community since the 1970s, Carol laughed about the very first poem she wrote. “I did my first poem in high school. I was 14 years old. It started with, ‘I stood upon a windy hill …’ I really started writing when I lived in Sag Harbor in a house that overlooked the bay,” she recalled.

“I’ve belonged to several poetry groups including the East End Poetry Group in Southampton, was a member of the Choral Society from 1982 to 1989, and joined the community theater in Southampton where I had roles in the productions of Anything Goes, Midsummer Night’s Dream, Fools, Follies, and a few others. I’ve done poetry readings and had a few small books published of my poems. I’ve also had two memoirs published. I was encouraged by Marijane Meaker in my writing of Bronx Ballads in 2001 which was a journey through grief after World War II.” Although Carol has cut back on a lot of her activities, she has recently tried her hand at watercolors and currently has her work displayed at the hall in Windmill Village II, where it is now open to the public for viewing.

Valerie@indyeastend.com

June 6, 2018

At 82, Carol recalls her family trips to Coney Island and its fluffy pink cotton candy, and visits to Chinatown in New York City, where her family actually sat in the kitchen of the restaurant and ate with the staff. “My father, Albert, was an electrician and always did work for

the owner. In appreciation, he would bring us into the kitchen and feed us like we were his family.”

I learned to make dresses from patterns that I bought at Grant’s department store, the five-anddime.” Carol received compliments on her dresses with classmates asking where she had purchased them. It didn’t take long before Carol realized her talent and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, eventually becoming a certified fashion designer. She had previously attended Hunter College receiving her teaching certification in home economics.

Tony Ganga and his brother Bob have collaborated with the Sons of the American Legion in Amagansett to build a memorial for the victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

Designed by Gustavo Bonevardi, who has previously worked on the Tribute in Light memorial in Manhattan, the East Hampton 9/11 Memorial will be constructed in the open field to the side of the legion. As soon as the artist finishes the sculpture, which is made with steel from the World Trade Center, Tony Ganga plans to hang the sculpture in place and continue the construction as far as the funds will allow him to do so.

June 6, 2018

Ganga admitted that he has been stretched thin during this time since he is also the committee chairman for Soldier Ride. Attaining the funding for the project has also presented a significant challenge for the two brothers, with 400 bricks required for the memorial’s construction.

The brothers, who are unable to fund the project themselves, are asking $100 per brick, but only 70 have been purchased.

While donations of any amount are appreciated, the brothers strongly encouraged that all who wish to participate in the memorial’s construction should purchase a

Feature The church, which is located on Maple Street, has thrived over the years, continuing to serve the Polish community on the East End, as well as friends and summer visitors.

“There is a very large Polish community from Riverhead to Montauk,” said parishioner Thea Dombrowki-Fry.

The church has maintained many of its traditions, including Polish Masses. The parish still has a Polish priest, maintains a PolishAmerican Society, and has a Polish library in its basement. The church’s parishioners attend Sunday socials, and celebrate special events such as birthdays and anniversaries as a community, and always come together to help other parishioners in need, said Dombrowski-Fry, who is also a member of the PolishAmerican Society and the Polish Veterans’ Ladies Auxiliary.

The parish’s first centennial event — a special Mass celebrated by Bishop Andrzej Zglejszewski — will be held on June 30. The Mass, which will be in English and Polish, will begin at 5 PM, and will be followed by a Jubilee Dinner Dance at 6:15 PM in Southampton Polish Hall, 230 Elm Street, Southampton.

There will also be no shortage of Polish favorites such as kielbasa, golabki, pierogi, and cheese blintzes. The event will feature

an open bar, music by Windstar, Chinese auction, and table gift.

Polish immigrants first started moving to the East End, settling in Riverhead, Bridgehampton, and Water Mill in 1886. It wasn’t long before the growing community wanted a house of worship of its own, so members got to work raising money for the effort.

Ground was broken on October 21, 1918, and the final work was completed on the church on December 24, just in time for Christmas Day Mass, which was offered by the parish’s first priest, Father Alexander Cizmowski.

The second centennial event of the church’s jubilee year, a tour of the church, will be held on July 1, though a time has not been set for the event. Three days later, on July 4, parishioners will also take part in the Southampton Village Fourth of July Parade, along with a group of Polish singers and dancers. The group will also take part in the Pulaski Day Parade in New York on October 3. Parishioners and church leaders are also in the process of arranging a Polish veterans memorial at the Sacred Hearts Cemetery. The year’s events will culminate in a 100th Anniversary Mass on Christmas Day, December 25.

But for now, Dombrowski-Fry said she is looking forward to the upcoming Mass on June 30.

“It’s going to be absolutely beautiful. There are a lot of dignitaries who are invited to the Mass. We are hoping that 100 years from now, our great-grandchildren will celebrate 200 years. That’s the whole idea,” she said.

Insight

Goodbye Dear Friends It is, of course, a rite of passage that we grieve the loss of another life, and more so when the departed are close to us.

But when an entire community mourns, the realization sets in we have lost not only loved ones but irreplaceable pillars that stood out because they did so much more than merely live amongst us — they made our lives better.

Bonnie Bistrian Krupinski and Ben Krupinski were not the boldfaced Hamptons types the tabloids made them out to be. She grew up in overalls on bulldozers; he banged nails and climbed across roofs. They made a living the hard way, and they never forgot those roots.

Yes, that was Ben who donated his services renovating the Coast Guard Life-Saving Station, the Ladies’ Village Improvement Society’s Bargain Box Thrift Shop, and so many others. Yes, that was Bonnie making those donations to the pantries and charities. There was more, though. Much more. People who needed help, be it food, a job, shelter, a second chance — they found guardian angels that cared and helped and said no more about it.

They were both fans of good food and music. Every now and then you would find them dining with some instantly recognizable music icon.

But it would invariably be in the back of one of their restaurants, away from the stargazers and the paparazzi.

Ostentatious wasn’t in their vocabulary. Public displays of wealth and power were abhorrent behavior to them. You got what you saw: hardworking people from good, hearty stock that could be tough as nails in business and, at the same time, nurturing and caring in everyday life.

They will be more than just missed; we will never be able to replace them.

Ashley Freeman I think it’s about time. It should have happened a long time ago but at least it finally happened.

A culmination of events made it possible. But most of all more women came forward who were willing to speak about it and that brought a lot of momentum to the situation.

To the Editor,

Throughout her career, Roseanne Barr has always been a crude, vulgar, left-wing jerk. Remember grabbing her crotch while singing the National Anthem? Her support for the lunatic 9/11 Truthers, the vile Occupy movement, and any other wacko lefty notion that came along?

Ryan Jeffries He was just arrested? I thought he was already in jail.

Yet now that she claims to support Trump and has made her typically sick comments about Valerie Jarrett, the media is making a pathetic attempt to paint her as a conservative who represents the thinking of other conservatives and Trump supporters. All they prove is that they, too, are still left-wing jerks, desperate to rid the herd of one of its more repugnant members.

Sheila Raymond What took them so long?

Amanda Leonard It’s a great thing for all women to see someone that powerful realize things are changing and there will be consequences even for someone like Weinstein. I doubt there’s a woman alive who to some degree hasn’t had something in this vein happen but had her situation just brushed off.

KEEP OUT POTENTIAL TERRORISTS Dear Editor,

Islamic terrorist bombings in Belgium; Islamic terrorist truck attacks in NYC, France, Germany, and Spain; and attacks in England and the U.S. are indicative of the violent Islamic extremism pervading the world. Muslim attacks on non-Muslims have proliferated in Europe over the years because Europe murdered six million Jews and replaced them with 50 million Muslims. European countries should stop absorbing immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa and deport potential terrorists.

The U.S. should pay attention to the problems in Europe and keep out immigrants from countries that spawn terrorists. Some liberal religious organizations and individuals believe we should show compassion and open our borders to people from the Middle East and North Africa. Hopefully, the courts will uphold Trump’s ban on immigrants from the countries which spawn Islamic terrorists.

Previous immigrants entered the U.S. to build better lives for themselves, assimilate, and contribute to our country.

By Karen Fredericks

Conversely, many of the immigrants from the Middle East do not want to assimilate, and some are prone to violence and choose to attack non-Muslims.

Existing potential terrorists must be ferreted out and pursued. Radical Muslim leaders in the U.S., like Louis Farrakhan, should be under constant surveillance.

HAMILL BASHING Dear Editor,

In response to Denis Hamill’s piece on Trump bashing, I would suggest to Mr. Hamill to also give a little background on Bill Clinton, who is also a draft-dodging womanizer who had sex in the Oval Office on taxpayers’ dime! Furthermore, as a journalist, shouldn’t he be a little more objective?

RUNNING FOR COMPTROLLER Dear Editor,

I am running for State Comptroller on the Green Party line to challenge the incumbent, Tom DiNapoli, over his refusal to divest the state pension funds from fossil fuels.

It makes no sense to invest funds in companies that are driving catastrophic climate change. Why invest in generating more extreme weather — rising tides, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires?

Putting billions of dollars into Exxon and other fossil fuel companies is also a risky financial decision. Market funds without fossil fuels outperform those that include them. With the world having agreed to move away from fossil fuel towards renewable energy, companies like Exxon do not have a sustainable business model.

Miller, Monroe, Kazan In Strong Debut It is a powerful

production that captures the paranoia rampant in Hollywood during the House UnAmerican Activities Committee’s hearings.

Jack Canfora’s world premiere play, Fellow Travelers, directed by Michael Wilson, kicked off Bay Street Theater’s summer season on Saturday with a punch to the gut.

It is a powerful production that captures the paranoia rampant in Hollywood during the House UnAmerican Activities Committee’s hearings, as told through the bromance between playwright Arthur Miller and director Elia Kazan, and the woman who acted as both their buffer and their bond, Marilyn Monroe.

At the heart of Fellow Travelers — the appellation given to communist sympathizers by HUAC — is the tale of a battered friendship between two geniuses

of the entertainment industry who loved and appreciated each other.

Miller (Wayne Alan Wilcox) had already been awarded the Pultizer for Death of a Salesman when he accompanied his buddy Kazan (Vince Nappo) to the West Coast to discuss a possible film, The Hook, with Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn (Mark Blum).

From the first scene it is clear that the two see things differently — Kazan uses images and symbolism to tell stories; Miller uses words.

Gadge (Kazan’s nickname) knows how to play the game, while Art is sincere and serious. They both form a friendship with Monroe (Rachel Spencer Hewitt), who is in love with, and eventually marries, Art but engages in a long-term sexual liaison with Kazan because they’re

friends who see things the same way, and they both understand that sex is just another film industry commodity.

When Cohn and Roy Brewer ( Jeffrey Bean), the head of the newly-formed Motion Picture Industry Council, suggest — no, demand — that Miller add some anti-communist propaganda to the script, Kazan acquiesces, while Miller is dumbfounded by the request.

Kazan had been involved with the American Communist Party in the 1930s, but, as his character explains it, he left when he felt that artists were being pressured to compromise their work. Of course, out of the frying pan and into the Continued On Page B-17.

Wybranski Designs U.S. Open Poster

By Nicole Teitler

decided very early on in my discussions with the USGA. To the general golfing public, visually the thing they know is the clubhouse.

A show featuring renowned golf artist Lee Wybranski at the Southampton Cultural Center from June 7 to June 30 will coincide with the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.

what’s your favorite U.S. Open painting?

As his most extensive exhibit to date with more than 40 pieces, Wybranski will offer images of his famed traditional golf work, such as his celebrated 11th consecutive U.S. Open poster, and a Shinnecock original.

In addition to his recognized works will be an abstract series depicting golf holes.

I’d say Torrey Pines [in La Jolla, California] in 2008. It was my first one — a gorgeous venue right next to the Pacific Ocean.

It was a great event, with Tiger Woods winning in a playoff on a broken leg. The painting was a runaway hit. I got on the local news. It was a surprise success, not knowing what to expect that first year.

The Philadelphia native has created commissioned artworks for the likes of the USGA and the PGA of America. He’s worked with private clubs like National Golf Links of America and businesses including Polo Ralph Lauren, with his work featured on the Golf Channel, CNN, and Golf Talk Live.

From his easel on the greens to his inside studio, Wybranski continues to craft his passion around the course.

Out of all the golf courses you’ve seen, which is a must-visit for avid golfers?

Painting St. Andrews in Scotland, working with The Old Course, is a goosebumps experience. If you’re an artist doing what I do, you can’t really do any better.

Anyone who really loves the game should certainly visit once.

It’s a magical place.

What made you start painting these landscapes? Why golf?

June 6, 2018

I started with architectural drawings for private estates and small institutions around Philadelphia right after I graduated from art school. I was trying to figure out how to grow the business and approach new markets, so I thought of taking the same kind of a service — very fine, beautiful pen and ink architectural drawings — to a place where people had an emotional attachment to buildings. That was the initial trail of thought.

What I came up with at the time was universities. Alumni love their home college. Then it was golf and country clubs, many of which are known for beautiful clubhouses, and people have a

strong connection of membership to these places.

I just thought this was a neat thing to explore. I showed the portfolio to a number of the best clubs around New York City.

That project led to a number of others pretty quickly, including the Atlantic Golf Club in Bridgehampton. All of a sudden, I was a golf artist.

What’s the first thing you notice when deciding to paint?

It depends on the project.

I consider the poster to be a different animal than the traditional landscape painting.

Landscapes rely more on detail

and general vistas. With posters, I try to identify the two or three main characters of the place and also the championship. With the U.S. Open at Shinnecock, it’s about the U.S. Open but also Shinnecock, so both need to be dramatically represented in the artwork.

From venue to venue, project to project, I create a composition that allows all these elements to be included in a way that feels balanced and visually appealing and uncluttered. I like to focus all the attention on the things that are most important and leave a lot of open space in between when I can. At Shinnecock, a focus on the clubhouse was

Domestically, one of my favorites is Fisher’s Island, off the coast of Long Island, once called the Pebble Beach of the East. It’s virtually untouched, so it’s like going back in time.

Architecturally, the course is fantastic. Scenery wise, you can’t beat it. Within the world of golf, there’s a return to a simple, natural, and pure links experience.

Southampton Cultural Center is located at 25 Pond Lane in Southampton. An artist’s reception will be held on Saturday, June 9, at 7 PM.

Yes Way, Rosé As the saying goes, it’s best not to mess with the classics, and for the diehard rosé loyalists who know where the craze first started, there’s always Wölffer Estate Vineyards’ coveted “Summer in a Bottle.”

With its affordable price point and head-turning packaging, it’s the bottle that started the trend and built the rosé empire we know

Now, for those looking to rethink the usual, there are a host of new options that have recently entered the market. There’s The Drop, which recently launched a re-sealable can of its signature light blend, perfect for the beach, and Out East, which hails from Provence and offers a fruit-forward and crisp flavor.

But for the true entertainer, there’s WINC. While its “Summer Water” often comes alongside a waiting list toward the end of the swilling season, this summer it’s added a three-month subscription service that ensures you and your legions of house guests remain fully stocked.

June and August include three limited edition magnums (the equivalent of six bottles per month), while the height of the season, July, is met with a 24-pack of hand-held summer water “droplets” on your doorstep. The price for it all? A cool $350.

FIND YOUR CENTER,

Floral Art Springs Up At Wölffer

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

June 6, 2018

Wölffer Estate kicked off its partnership with FlowerSchool New York over Memorial Day weekend. Eco-fresh “flowerbombs” were installed across each of its properties. Celebrating Wölffer’s 30th Anniversary, the floral activations are the first of many to arrive to the local vineyard and its restaurants.

FlowerSchool creates eco-fresh bouquets using eco foam. Seasonal flowers from local farms are an ecofriendly alternative to the extremely harmful floral foam. Operating as a sustainable vineyard, Wölffer

is always looking to decrease its environmental footprint.

FlowerSchool carries similar principles through its foam-free floristry practices.

Founded by creative director Eileen Johnson, FlowerSchool is a center for the floral arts in New York City. Its mission is to celebrate great floral design and designers, and to help people live a richer life through flowers.

Old Dogs, New Trips // Vay David & John Laudando

Tasty Treats & Eye Candy Day six in Portugal was devoted to the wines and sights of the magnificent Douro Valley. We had planned to take the much-praised cruise up the Douro River, followed by a train back . . . but no! In order to cruise all the way from Porto to the valley, we would have needed to travel through a series of locks, but heavy rains had made them impassable. So, we opted for a van and guide — the knowledgeable and affable Paolo from Get Your Guide picked us up at 8:30 AM from our Airbnb; a charming couple from Sweden was already aboard.

And off we all went to the heart of Port wine country.

nothing was more delicious than the vistas of the valley itself. It was a full-day’s excursion, and a happy day at that. See for yourself !

Reporting From Broadway // Isa Goldberg shortcomings, and their hollowness.

Like Long Day’s Journey into Night, Iceman follows the characters’ descent into drunkenness and mental disintegration, while exposing the lying and self-deceit which lead to their demise.

The Iceman Cometh The booze-soaked Eugene O’Neill drama, The Iceman Cometh, with Denzel Washington stoking the madness, is an experience. Running nearly four hours, it takes more than just the gift of gab to hold our attention. And this bar full of weirdos, with all of their crazy delusions, make for a fascinating bunch. Not to mention Washington, who plays a robust energetic Hickey, a salesman, who ultimately trades in disappointment and failure.

A fearless actor, Washington, sitting in a chair at the edge of the stage, delivers his lengthy soliloquy.

Portraying Hickey, he is direct, open, and unflinching. As helmed

by George C. Wolfe, the revival also boasts an extraordinary ensemble of Broadway veterans, with David Morse, Neal Huff, and Frank Wood among them. Together, they create an intriguing study in character, or its absence.

In keeping with O’Neill’s style, the drama unfolds through a series of confessions which reveal the characters, with all of their

EAST END

BLUEPRINT

The inability to face oneself truthfully is a central conflict for many of O’Neill’s characters.

Indeed, the drunks sitting around Harry Hope’s bar avoid their inner turmoil. They either lie or attribute their failures to the lies others tell.

That disillusionment is upfront from the get go, when we meet Larry Slade (Morse), an anarchist who betrayed the movement. Having fallen into his own existential hell, he knows no exit. Making a selfassured Broadway debut, Austin Butler plays the son of Larry’s ex, also an anarchist, and now in prison.

Looking to Larry to help him find his inner strength, he falls into the void.

The Movement, and the idealism it represents, stands as a kind of manifesto here. Clearly, it’s more of a front than a belief system, a pseudo-philosophy that serves them well in begging a free drink and bullying the system for payoffs.

It’s not politics or the nature of political authority that is examined here, but rather the psychology of human aggressiveness. Indeed, the underlying tension is not about the economics of society, or the poverty these drunkards have fallen into.

It is simply and overtly about the conflict between life (Eros) and destruction (Thanatos), with the latter winning.

among them, can find few options in this jaded world. No more hopeful are they than Willie Oban, a role in which Neal Huff mines the pathos of a young man who, geared for success, winds up drunk and powerless. With his wild hair, he flails around, suffering from the DTs. And Bill Irwin (Ed Mosher) sadly descends to playing clownish tricks just to get his hands on the booze. Impressively, Clark Middleton as Hugo Kalmar transforms into a physically deformed, emotionally distorted old man.

Designer Santo Loquasto’s cavernous watering hole looks old and dried up. Darkly lit by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, it feels like we’re watching characters emerge from a cave, only to retreat back to the shadows. Ann Roth has costumed these ageing alcoholics in suits of various vintage, and rags.

In Wolfe’s hands, every performance on the stage of the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre is a world unto itself — a nihilistic one at that.

Peace for Mary Frances In the final days of life, Mary Frances (Lois Smith) gets to watch her children vie for her love and the family inheritance. Set in the home where she raised her three children, the staging (scenic design

by Dane Laffrey) feels very slice of life, a literal — or as close to literal — reflection of a family home as one could find. Peering through the fourth wall, we observe their behaviors, so dysfunctional that it makes our own look “normal” by comparison.

To everyone’s discomfort, especially

her own, Mary Frances takes a long time to die. In the world of modern medicine, such is fate. And Smith, such an endearing presence in films, from East of Eden (1955) to last year’s Ladybird, feels completely natural in her discomfort and her need for finality.

Sadly, the children, for all of their differences, are something of a one-note chorus. They’re out for themselves and the biggest share of mom’s inheritance that they can grab. Consciously or not, mom enables them all by pitting one against the other.

Director Lila Neugebauer mines the emotional depth of these characters and their relationships.

Once again, J. Smith-Cameron (Alice) is a force of nature, her mere presence radiating a sense of truth, of being in the present. While Alice is manipulative, she is honest, and she’s a sibling with whom we can easily identify.

As her crazy sister Fanny, Johanna Day plays a recovering addict who is also manipulative, in an unpredictable and unsettling way.

It’s the codependency between her mother and she, which fuels the family’s dysfunctionality. In addition, Paul Lazar as Eddie is a queer egg. Geeky looking and selfobserved, he’s a typically dissociated brother.

Fortunately, both Heather Burns and Natalie Gold, as Alice’s daughters, bring a bit of vitality to the situation. The hospice workers, played by Mia Katigbak and Brian Miskell, intervene, compassionately at times.

About the end of life, Lily Throne’s play is unsentimental. And death is relief.

fire with the Red Scare and the studios’ insistence that all films have a Pinko-busting message.

Film buffs will know that The Hook, which was never produced, was a just warm-up for Kazan’s powerhouse film On The Waterfront, penned by Quogue resident Budd Schulberg. And the HUAC’s witch-hunt — a word bandied about a lot on Twitter these days — led to one of Miller’s most popular works, The Crucible.

Kazan chose to voluntarily implicate his fellow artists during the HUAC hearings to avoid being blacklisted himself, but it was a move he never lived down. Miller steadfastly refused to cooperate, earning a contempt of court ruling.

The journey to that reality, and the repercussions for years afterward, forms the epicenter of the play — what is loyalty? If someone names names, is it patriotism or selfpreservation? And, on the other hand, if someone does not implicate

others, is it to truly protect them or a choice to martyr oneself on the cross of one’s ideals?

Michael Wilson — a Bay Street veteran (Grey Gardens) — directs with precision and poignancy.

The projections and lighting, especially bright lines on the floor that intersect the stage in different patterns, signifying devotion or division — from the minds of Rocco DiSanti and Ken Billington — are also palpable elements in this compelling drama.

The cast is exemplary. Nappo and Wilcox portray Kazan and Miller with pathos and purity, capturing the substance of the connectedness between them, and the heartbreak when their relationship falls apart.

Hewitt is a strong presence as Monroe, and later as Barbara Loden, Kazan’s second wife, who then portrays the Marilyn character, Maggie, in Miller’s After The Fall, directed by Kazan. (It’s all so incestuous. But then again, that’s the industry for you.)

Blum’s unabashed Cohn is an energetic and comedic bright spot

in the evening, and Bean is spot on in his portrayal of a triumvirate of characters. Canfora’s words never pander to the playgoers — his script is short on exposition, long on dialogue. There are no backflows in Wilson’s production, it’s all rise until the inevitable confrontation between Miller and Kazan.

Fellow Travelers aims the spotlight on a shameful period in our nottoo-distant past; a history, to paraphrase George Santayana, that

we are doomed to repeat if we do not learn. With strong productions like this — along with films like the recent Trumbo, or older ones like Point of Order — the classroom is in session. Let’s all sit up straight and pay attention.

Fellow Travelers runs through June 17 at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor. For tickets and information, visit www.baystreet. org.

Gala Proceeds Aid Abuse Victims

By Nicole Teitler

The Retreat will host its annual All Against Abuse gala this Saturday, June 9, from 6:30 to 11 PM at The Muses in Southampton.

Since the gala’s beginning in 1996, artists and celebrities have crafted one-of-a-kind, hand-painted ceramic platters as the signature pieces of this long beloved event.

Over the course of two decades, this gala has raised more than $2.5 million through generous donations that aid in the safety and support of those suffering from domestic violence.

June 6, 2018

All Against Abuse board member Ellie Kurrus started as a volunteer for The Retreat in 2014 by answering its 24-hour hotline.

She vividly remembers her first call. “The victim had just escaped from being barricaded in her room without a cell phone. She was able to squeeze through barred windows, climb down the fire escape, and get to the safety of the police, who referred her to The Retreat. I remember thinking, ‘No one should have to live like this!’”

That single call solidified her support for the organization and its goals to raise funds to help as many victims as possible. “Abuse comes in all forms. Recognizing it and getting help is essential for you and your family’s safety and future. The Retreat is there to help you break the cycle and heal,” she noted.

The Retreat was started in 1987 as a local non-profit supporting the survivors of abuse and assault across the East End. Its programs have grown to include a residential shelter for adults and children, counseling, a 24-hour hotline, in-school violence prevention education program in all local schools, and legal advocacy for all victims, free of charge.

Ann Chwatsky was previously involved in the gala’s art auction component and is a former member of the board. She still serves on the All Against Abuse committee.

She described a particular painting, “The artist, April Gornik, has been a supporter of our art auction part of the gala for many years, and that is so appreciated. This year, she has given us a beautiful print — tones of blues that evoke land masses and oceans,” Chwatsky said.

Steiner is a survivor of domestic violence. At the young age of 22, the Harvard graduate found herself in a four-year marriage to a Wall Street banker who held loaded guns to her head and yanked car keys out of the ignition as she drove on the highway. Scared for her life, she realized, above anything else, she needed a safe haven and legal representation. “[I needed] assurance that it wasn’t my fault that I had fallen in love with a deeply troubled, abusive man. My friends and family couldn’t give me that, despite their love,” Steiner said.

“So, in my time of greatest need, I turned to strangers in the domestic violence community for support and guidance. The Retreat gives the East End’s abuse survivors everything they need to transform their lives at no charge and without any judgment. I’m proud

to tell my story at the All Against Abuse event to raise much needed awareness and money to benefit the Retreat’s important and lifechanging programs,” Steiner added.

This year’s Artist Honor Roll includes April Gornik, Barbara Maslen, Barry Kreiswirth and Lisa Allen, Dan Rizzie, Jack Youngerman, Jill Musnicki, Justin Greenwald, Miles Jaffe, Peter Dayton, Toni Toss, Dan Welden, and Lynn Savarese.

Cocktail music will be provided by The John Ludlow Duo featuring Steve Nelson, catering by Art of Eating, and after dinner dancing

by East End Entertainment. This year’s auctioneer is CK Swett.

The Muses is located at 111 Saint Andrews Road, Southampton. The Retreat is located at 13 Goodfriend Drive, East Hampton. Call 631329-4398 or visit online at www. theretreatinc.org.

Hamptons Farms In East Quogue

By Nicole Teitler

Hamptons Farms in East Quogue is conveniently located on a plot of land where Old Country Road meets Montauk Highway. The eatery prides itself on a natural, well-rounded menu.

June 6, 2018

When this reporter arrived for brunch on a Saturday, the menu listed plates such as arugula and squash salad, shaved Brussels sprouts, Hallah vanilla French toast, chicken and waffles, and lobster eggs benedict. Outside seating was comfortably set under a porch overhead, with wooden farm tables and chairs overlooking the flowers potted along the property.

Owner Sandra Sadowski has garnered previous hospitality experience as director of operations North America with ESPA International Consulting, 10 years as director/spa and fitness at the Ritz-Carlton Central Park, and spa and fitness director of The Plaza Hotel, with an extensive resumé listing many more.

“After working in five-star, fivediamond properties, I immediately fell in love with the ‘farm chic’ and have been wanting to hang up my pantyhose and pumps for a more modern barn/lifestyle project,” said Sadowski.

It’s Sadowski’s first restaurant.

She runs it alongside her husband, Stefan Amraly, with chef Arielle Ferrara in the kitchen. She is following the farm-to-table trend that has gained momentum across the East End. Sadowski said, “Our goal is to have our produce, meat, and fish from sustainable sources, all non-GMO, no hormones, and if we can source locally, that is a bonus. Using these fresh foods makes for a better-quality product in the end. We also strive to have both indulgent dishes on the menu and light dishes, so our guests feel they can share plates.”

Market in Montauk.

“Consistency in service and food quality is our main focus and priority as well. We love this community and open our doors to everyone,” Sadowski noted.

“Overall, we strive to be a buzzing breakfast, lunch, and dinner destination for those who love food and fun.”

During my visit, served first were cocktails to sip. A Taste of Summer, with Crop Cucumber Vodka, watermelon, lime juice, and basil, was a refreshing escape from the heat, and it lived up to its name.

Hamptons Farms Lemonade, with organic Crop Cucumber Vodka, lemon, sugar, and mint went down like enhanced water, both dangerous and delightful, as it was sans that sugary taste typically associated with lemonade. I savored these with a side of house made potato chips.

Next up, the farro bowl was a light blend of butternut squash, blistered tomatoes, arugula, and poached eggs. It was light, yet filling and flavorful just enough on a hot day. Guests can enjoy this as a vegan and dairy free option or add chicken, steak, salmon, or shrimp for a heavier meal. Another plate I sampled was the Hamptons Farms three egg omelet, with mushrooms, blistered tomatoes, asparagus, Manchego cheese, potatoes and toast. Nothing says summer quite like apple pie, and for dessert, I had a piece of house made apple pie with French vanilla ice cream and a raspberry drizzle.

Hamptons Farms is located at 412 Montauk Highway, East Quogue.

Beacon: Summer sunsets & joie de vivre

By Hannah Selinger

He has acquired the moniker “Mr. Cool.”

But after two decades at the helm of Sag Harbor’s Beacon — the restaurant celebrates its 20th season this year — restaurateur David Loewenberg could more adequately be called “Mr. Smart.”

How else could he have turned a

trio of restaurants (Beacon, Fresno, and The Bell & Anchor) into a Hamptons juggernaut?

Loewenberg has a storied reputation in the Hamptons. At 28, he opened 95 School Street in Bridgehampton, which has since closed. Later, he went on being a co-partner of Southampton’s Red Bar and Little Red, which his former partner, Kirk Basnight, now owns outright.

A few notes about Loewenberg: He always appears nonplussed, often showing up to service at Beacon in the height of season wearing jeans and Birkenstocks. He may have time to chat — he may not. In the off-season, when Beacon is no longer operational, you’re likely to find him at The Bell & Anchor in Noyac, especially on Sundays, when the restaurant hosts its weekly dollar oyster fest.

B-26

A table-wide deck runs along one side of the restaurant, which is also outfitted with panoramic windows. The restaurant hovers over the water and enjoys a perfect sunset every night that the weather cooperates. Arrive before 8 and you’ll almost certainly hear a common refrain: One hour, maybe more.

But you’ll probably wait, and you’ll be glad you did, and not just because of the spectacular show that Mother Nature hosts in front of Beacon diners every single night of the week. You’ll wait — and keep waiting — because Beacon is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel good, that inspires a certain summertime joie de vivre.

The bar is small and sometimes several deep, but you’ll clink glasses with strangers, watch the orange orb sink into the bay, and, eventually, take up residence at your hard-fought table. Aren’t you glad you stayed?

What makes Loewenberg so compelling and, indeed, so successful? For one, he embraces a local ethos, sourcing seafood and vegetables from East End purveyors when possible.

Since Beacon’s season lasts only a third as long as Bell & Anchor’s and Fresno’s, the restaurant changes its menu with relative frequency, basking in the glory of high season and the bounty it produces. The menu is no-nonsense, the portions generous. The vibe is convivial, revelry without the frills.

Chef Sam McClelland co-owns Beacon and executes its menu, too. This season, he has featured such dishes as local fluke crudo with Mecox asparagus, radishes, lime, and togarashi, and lobster thermidor toast. The restaurant professes a certain Asian influence, incorporating ingredients such as red curry paste, ginger, hoisin, kohlrabi, and soba.

If you’re wondering how a restaurant like Beacon — seasonal, popular, and ever difficult to get into during prime time (they don’t take reservations) — has survived the many vicissitudes of time, the answer is more than just the jawdropping view.

The food at Beacon has always been reliably delicious, the prices inoffensive (this is the Hamptons, after all), the hospitality contagious.

Loewenberg’s restaurants feel both upscale and approachable, and that’s why they work. At Beacon, which traditionally opens a few weeks before Memorial Day weekend and stays open through the Columbus Day holiday, there is almost always a line. This owes, in large part, to one of the most coveted dining views in the

Hamptons.

Guest-Worthy Chef: Laird Hamilton

By Zachary Weiss WHO: Laird Hamilton, author of Fuel Up, published by Assouline INSTAGRAM: @ LairdHamiltonSurf LAIRD’S GUEST-WORTHY RECIPE: Ditch Plains Green Pancakes

June 6, 2018

WHY? “My girls and I visit the Hamptons every year for a charity stand-up paddle event and to visit longtime friends in the area. The Ditch Plains pancakes are one of my favorite recipes in my new Assouline cookbook, and they’re obviously relevant to the Montauk area. They are an unusual, savory brunch plate, but are really light and loaded with iron-rich spinach.

[Iron] helps make the hemoglobin in our red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout our bodies. It’s ideal for vegetarians and those who

avoid gluten as well. The inclusion of a jalapeño pepper and the lemon juice bring a zingy and bright flavor to the start of the day.”

1/2 tsp ground cumin

INGREDIENTS:

Lemon wedges, for garnish

For the lemon butter

1 c almond milk

Sea salt and black pepper Olive oil, for the pan

1/4 c raw butter, softened

DIRECTIONS

1 tsp minced parsley

Whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl until blended. Place in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the pancakes.

2 tsp grated lemon zest

Sea salt and black pepper For the pancakes

5 oz spinach leaves, washed 2 Tbsp raw butter, melted

3 green onions, finely sliced

1 jalapeño pepper, trimmed, seeded, and minced 1/2 c gluten-free flour

3/4 Tbsp baking powder 2 eggs

For the lemon butter

For the pancakes

Preheat the oven to 200ºF.

Heat a little water in a small pan over medium heat.

Add the spinach leaves, cover, and cook for just one minute, until the spinach wilts. Place the spinach in a bowl to cool down. Drain the spinach and coarsely chop.

Combine the melted raw butter, green onions, jalapeño, and spinach in a mixing bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, eggs, cumin, and almond milk. Season with salt and pepper. Give it a good whisk to combine.

Coat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. When the pan is hot, pour on several quarter-cup pancakes.

Cook about three minutes, until air bubbles form on the surface, then flip them over and give the other sides a couple of minutes.

Add a little more oil as the skillet dries out. You can stack the cooked pancakes on a plate and keep them warm in the oven until ready to serve.

To serve, place the desired quantity of pancakes on a plate with a teaspoon of lemon butter on top and a lemon wedge on the side.

By Zach Weiss

David Zazula is a veteran surfer and agent for Halstead in the Hamptons.

You’re uniquelY experienCeD in both renting anD SaleS. Do You have a preferenCe? I love doing rentals, but sales are where the rubber meets the road.

Each rental situation offers an opportunity to build your client base, learn the inventory, and gain the trust of both a potential seller and buyer. I built my business on rentals.

Sales really test your mettle, your creativity, and your ability to roll up your sleeves and get it done — no matter the obstacle. Every time I’m involved in a sale, I don’t learn just one new thing, I learn a dozen. And I’ve been doing this since 2004.

You’ve alSo beCome knowleDgable about the regulationS anD reD tape SYnonYmouS with the region. how long DiD it take to maSter thiS, anD when haS thiS wiSDom Come in hanDY? The thing about rules and regulations is they keep changing.

So, you’ve got to stay on top of it.

The only way to learn is by doing.

Get over to the building department and become a familiar face. Talk to attorneys, talk to your fellow brokers. Talk to people on the street. Become a detective.

Early in my career, I was fortunate enough to sell two contiguous oceanfront properties. This gave me the opportunity to go through the process. The experience was invaluable. As far as “mastering” goes, I’m not sure that ever really happens, but I would say it takes about five years to find your voice.

Ten years in the business enables you to dispense sage advice. I’m approaching master status, having been at it for 15 years.

what aDviCe Do You have for a potential Seller?

The first thing I would advise a potential seller is to list it with a reputable brokerage. Secondly, hire a local attorney. They’re most familiar with the local laws and codes. Communication is key, and if I can communicate with your attorney, we can circumvent a lot of potential problems.

You also need to prepare your property. De-cluttering is perhaps the most important aspect of preparing a home for the market.

The buyer needs to envision themselves living there. I also place special importance on the entrance.

It’s the first thing the buyer sees.

Something as simple as flowers in an urn can make a huge impact.

I work closely with sellers to get a property ready, mindful of what is necessary and what is frivolous.

are You attraCteD to a Certain Caliber of propertY? You’ve SolD manY

waterfront homeS. I’m interested in any type of property that I have the possibility of selling. However, I’d be lying if I did not say the waterfront, especially oceanfront, really piques my interest. Besides the obvious increase in value, waterfront properties attract the most attention. It’s all about the water out here. Buying on the ocean, or any waterfront, is a front row seat to the greatest show on Earth.

I also love the older homes. The area was settled over 350 years ago, so we have a lot of them. One of my first exclusives was a 17th century home in the historic section of the Village of East Hampton.

Lots of history, and one of four homes still standing that had exposed decorative wood support beams. Its most recent occupant at the time was Mario Puzo.

anY aDviCe for Young agentS JuSt Starting out?

Become friends with other brokers, both in your office and at the other brokerages. They are your biggest source of information. Secondly, fact-check everything. Do your own research and make sure you have your facts straight. Don’t over promise.

When I first started out, I received three great pieces of advice. I was lucky enough to be in a small office with very successful brokers. I was told to listen. I did. The second bit of advice was a quote in an article I

read by a mentor of mine. “A good broker is always prepared.”

Lastly, and this is a big one, a very experienced broker said to me, “Brevity is the soul of wit,” a quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It is my mantra to this day.

Do You partner with other agentS to Create a team or are You Solo?

Being in a relatively small office, we’re all one big family, so I can enlist help as I need it. I rely heavily on my colleagues for support. Although often it seems I’m working solo, the reality is very much different. We have tremendous support at Halstead.

This allows me to have laser beam focus on the client I’m working with.

what Do You Do for fun?

I was an avid surfer and windsurfer for many years. We have worldclass conditions for both here on the East End. However, recently I became reacquainted with the game of tennis, which I grew up playing. I never thought anything would get me out of the water, but it seems tennis has reinstated its grip on my free time. Of course, going to the beach, dining out, and enjoying the live music in the summer. If I can partake in all of that, while still keeping up with my now 13 year old teenage son, then I’m a happy camper.

DoeS Your knowleDge of the area Set You apart from the Competition?

Absolutely. Having extensive knowledge of the area is a strong advantage. Whether discussing a property with agents, buyers, or sellers, I typically have in-depth knowledge of the property’s transactional history as well as an understanding of its zoning, development potential, and any environmental concerns.

The roles are deeply intertwined consistently throughout the day.

As the managing director of Halstead, my legal background is a major benefit to my agents. Legal questions always come up. It is convenient to have an attorney as part of the team at Halstead. The dual roles become evident when a challenging situation arises which we are able to resolve in a manner favorable to the client.

It starts with an assessment of the agent’s current position, then

I find gratification in assisting agents to reach the next level in their careers, whether it is moving a new agent to become a consistent, successful performer, or boosting a very strong agent to an outstanding agent.

In addition, Halstead offers substantial training opportunities.

One of the greatest methods to accelerate the agent’s success is sharing situational, legal, and zoning knowledge, in conjunction with logic behind why a particular path is utilized in a particular situation. The agent is then able to leverage that information in future situations.

My life is one of daily creativity, which brings me together with brilliant creators, innovators, publishers, and tenants from around the world.

art iS thematiC in eaCh home. what iS the ConneCtion

between art anD real eState?

I [have] designed landscaping and interiors, using all of my artwork and art merchandising as accessories, early on known as The Villas Del Arte, as many rooms had the theme and coloration of a particular artist such as Picasso, Dalí, Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir. Visitors were entranced sitting by my ponds, and waterfalls, watching the waterlilies of Giverny (Monet’s Gardens) and being served afternoon tea with my Monet cups with waterlilies, or Van Gogh’s Sunflower plates. I love when people come out to my pools, wearing my Salvador Dalí robes, then lie down on my chaises with their Picasso beach towels, and pick fresh flowers and put them in my Tamara de Lempicka Vases!

how woulD You DeSCribe Your StYle?

My style is eclectic — contemporary mixed with Mediterranean and Asian flair — developed from all of my travels and family life on the Cote D’Azur in France, and in Mallorca in Spain. [I spent] years in Spain and years in St. Petersburg, Russia working for the Hermitage Museum, creating the Catherine the Great Exhibition. I love the cultures of foreigners and have made many friends and business partners throughout my life.

what iS it about the hamptonS that CaptivateS buYerS anD renterS?

The clean air and breezes. It has the most exquisite, immaculate beaches along with the international, beautiful people.

Of course, the great food, fresh lobsters, incredible farm veggies, and fabulous vineyards.

in aDDition, You’re Somewhat of a full ServiCe, luxurY ConCierge. how Do You tailor eaCh experienCe to the ClientS’ neeDS? Absolutely! I meet with my clients, find out their needs, their loves, their food and drink preferences. I develop a personal luxury package for them. My homes are known for five-star service, incredible gardens, and flowing waterfalls and streams, with ponds stocked with koi sent as gifts from my Japanese partners.

REAL EsTATE nEWs

By Rick Murphy

tIGht enD SeLLS hOuSe

Vyto Kab, a onetime tight end for the New York Giants, as well as the Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions, has reportedly sold his Southampton Village house.

After playing college football for Penn State University, Kab was included in the third round of the 1982 draft by the Eagles. He caught 36 passes during his brief career but none with the Giants, whom he played for in 1985.

His Southampton estate at 41 Herrick Road was originally listed for $13.75 million, for several years. The latest asking price, with Tim Davis of Corcoran, was for $10.95 million.

Built in 2016 after a teardown, the seven-bedroom house has the usual bells and whistles, including an elevator. The selling price was not disclosed. No word on whether Kab knelt down during the closing or stood tall with the rest of his legal team.

SunSet VIeWS In SOuthOLD An impressive spread on 1375 Ackerly Pond Lane in Southold is on the market.

Independent/Courtesy Elliman A Southold farm on the market is generating a lot of interest.

Sunsets and forever vineyard views are the calling cards of a rustic fourbedroom, three-bath farmhouse. There are two barns, irrigated paddocks, two tack rooms, a 100-by-200-foot arena, and wash stalls. Expansion possible. There is a garage on the property and a legal apartment. The asking price is under $1.5 million. Kay Lawson of Douglas Elliman has the listing.

taKe Me tO the ChurCh The odyssey of the Sag Harbor Methodist Church took another turn this week when it was reported the building has been sold — again. The 13,000-square-foot church has been converted to a residence, and work on the 48 Madison Street property has been ongoing for a couple years. The church was originally on High Street but was moved to its present location in 1835.

It was a little-used community room when Southampton Town Board member Dennis Suskind purchased it a decade ago. He stated he would renovate and live in it.

But politicians are known to, shall we say, change their minds, and Suskind sold it to designer Elizabeth Dow in 2013 for a reported $4 million. Once the head-to-toe overhaul began, prices as high as $23 million plus were bandied about. Lately, however, the price had reportedly dropped under $10 million again.

The name of the newest buyer, and the purchase price, has yet to be revealed, but industry sources said it indeed has been sold again.

Jemille Charlton was appointed the new Master for the Free and Accepted Masons of the Grand Lodge of New York on May 17.

Charlton now heads Lodge number 437, Sag Harbor’s Wamponamon.

The Freemasonry organization is composed of several lodges that trace their lineage back to the 14th Century stonemasons.

America is founded on the ideals of the Freemasonry — George

Washington and Benjamin Franklin were Masonic members.

Independent/Richard Lewin On Tuesday, May 29, members of the Montauk Fire Department ventured up a winding road off East Lake Drive for the final drill of this season —a wildland forest fire drill. Under the direction of Chief Vincent Franzone, First Assistant Chief David Ryan, and Second Assistant Chief Mickey Valcich, firemen and fire apparatus were tested in case of a real forest fire. Head Training Officer Steve Sizse mapped out the drill for the members. The fire line team practiced maneuvering vehicles in the woods, while sawyers cut tree limbs and a fire line to control the ‘blaze.’ Because a water supply would likely not be available in the event of a forest fire, department water trucks rehearsed a water shuttle, or transfer, to and from a portable 4,000-gallon capacity pool.

As comptroller, I will be an advocate for progressive revenues — higher taxes on the wealthy and lower property taxes. We need to restore revenue sharing to local governments to the eight percent level. The comptroller should speak out when state officials fail to comply with legal requirements such as funding for schools. I would advocate for solutions such as single-payer health care to lower costs.

When I served on my town board, I was able to help cut local property taxes every single year while expanding local services. I look forward to accomplishing a similar goal at the state level.

Sincerely,

Mark Dunlea EVERYONE’S DOWNFALL To The Independent,

Opinionated judgment is everyone’s downfall.

Kindness and forgiveness are the resurrection of life just waiting to be rewarded.

By the way, today’s woman will notice the stain on a man’s shirt before she sees the beauty in his heart.

PBMC Honors Entenmann

Peconic Bay Medical Center’s new administrative office building in downtown Riverhead was named after philanthropist and businessman Robert Entenmann, who passed away in 2016. The dedication ceremony for the Robert Entenmann Campus took place on Friday, June 1, in front of the building at 4 West Second Street.

Entenmann founded the Big E Farm and Martha Clara Vineyards, which sold to a winemaking family from Mexico earlier this year. When Entenmann died, his children Jackie and Robert wanted to honor their father’s legacy. In 2017, through a gift from the Robert Entenmann Advisory Committee to the New York Community Trust, Jackie and Robert donated $5 million to Peconic Bay Medical Center’s New Era Campaign, benefitting cardiac care for the region.

“Robert Entenmann was not just a community benefactor, he was a community visionary,” said Andrew Mitchell, PBMC’s president and CEO. “All of us here on the East End are fortunate to have had him as a neighbor, a friend, and a leader of our community. It will warm my heart to see his name every morning when I

come to work. It will remind all who come to work here of the legacy we want to live up to.”

Mitchell spoke to the crowd, which included medical center staff, officials, community members, and members of the Entenmann family, under a large tent in the rain.

“Today marks another milestone for Northwell Health and Peconic Bay Medical Center in our pursuit together in becoming the regional medical center for the entire East End,” he said. “We are one step closer because of the generosity of the Robert Entenmann family.

Dr. Stanley Katz, chair of cardiology, took to the stage after Mitchell and addressed Entenmann’s daughter.

“Jackie, I think this investment is going to have a huge impact on the people of the East End,” he said.

He also acknowledged the 27 patients whose lives the hospital saved from severe heart attacks since the interim cardiac catheterization lab opened in October 2017.

“I’d like to thank the entire Entenmann family,” Katz said, before promising to make really good use of what the family has helped establish.

Michael Dowling, president and

CEO of Northwell Health, took the microphone following Katz.

“This is a spectacular campus. It’s a statement building. When you come up to it, it says something. It is unique,” Dowling said.

“When you step back a second and think what it looked like 10 or 15 years ago and think what has happened since — it’s a new town; we have a new cardiology center. What’s happened at Peconic Bay has changed dramatically,” Dowling added. “It will continue to excel and expand with services that never before existed.”

The Entenmann family has been a longtime benefactor of Northwell Health, supporting Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, and Peconic Bay Medical Center.

“We’re growing rapidly, and this new downtown campus will be vital for our continued growth,” said Mitchell.

“Not only will it free up room within the medical center for additional services and staff, it will also make more parking available for our patients and visitors.”

The Robert Entenmann campus, which will serve as PBMC’s administrative headquarters, is

CLASSIFIEDS GARAGE JOIN THE UNITED SALE STATES

located in the former Suffolk County National Bank building. The location will provide nearly 40,000 square feet of office space for non-clinical medical staff.

Administrative staffers have already relocated, including Mitchell and other PBMC leaders, the Peconic Bay Medical Center Foundation, the medical center’s finance, billing, and HR operations, as well as the offices of Peconic Bay Home Health Services, Suffolk County’s largest certified home health agency.

Approximately 150 staff members are expected to have offices in the new campus facilities.

Peconic Bay Medical Center is a non-profit hospital that offers wide-ranging, full-scope services and programs along with state-ofart technology. In 2016, the medical center joined Northwell Health, New York State’s largest health care provider and private employer. It encompasses 22 hospitals, 62,000 employees, over 550 outpatient facilities, and nearly 15,000 affiliated physicians. It served more than two million people annually in the New York metro area and beyond.

“Kids have the biggest voices in their schools and community,” said Sgt. Cassidy. “They can make a huge difference through simple actions like helping a friend and being a positive role model. I’m thrilled to be able to help through my participation in the CAP program and the Riverhead Community Coalition for Safe and Drug-Free Youth.”

Pulaski students say ‘no’ to drugs

By Jade Eckardt

June 6, 2018

Riverhead’s Pulaski Street School students stood up against drugs on Friday, June 1, at the 33rd Annual Say NO to Drugs March sponsored by the Riverhead Community Awareness Program, a non-profit organization dedicated to youth drug awareness and prevention.

Sergeant Sean Cassidy from the New York National Guard Counterdrug Task Force was the guest of honor at the event, which

was moved indoors because of rain.

“Sgt. Cassidy is such a positive role model and the students love him,” said Felicia Scocozza, executive director of Riverhead CAP. “As a CAP volunteer at Pulaski, he not only gives the students tools to make healthy decisions and avoid substance abuse, he models them through his interactions. He clearly recognizes the potential of Riverhead’s youth and he is right there on the front lines when it

comes to offering his support, knowledge, and experience.”

In addition to numerous students and parents sporting anti-drug shirts signs, Senator Kenneth LaValle, Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo, Suffolk County Legislator Al Krupski, Riverhead Supervisor Laura Jens-Smith, Dr. Aurelia Henriquez, ADA Saam Jalayer, and Undersheriff Steve Kuehhas were also in attendance.

Owen Karlson, who won the fifth

CAP has been providing drug and alcohol prevention, education, and counseling programs for the Riverhead Central School District since 1983. The organization is best known for its two-year prevention program serving more than 800 fifth and sixth graders in Pulaski Street School each year.

The Life Skills program, taught by community volunteers and student peer leaders, concludes with the annual “Say NO to Drugs March” that wraps up the school year.

Although the goal of the program is to prevent and delay underage drinking and drug use in youth, its evidence-based foundation is rooted in building self-esteem and increasing healthy decision-making skills.

celebrating street art

The Long Island community gathered for the East End Art Council’s 22nd Annual Community Mosaic Street Painting Festival on Monday, May 28.

“We had a great turnout even

though we rescheduled to the rain date,” said Elizabeth Malunowics, who manages public relations for the EEAC. People of all ages came out to celebrate art in downtown Riverhead during the family-

Participants were asked to bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to a food drive managed by Long Island Cares, a Hauppaugebased hunger assistance organization.

An installation called “Creative Vortex” had art on display as well

as a space for people to create and add to it. Since the sun was out, many people participated in a drumming circle on the lawn, while storytelling went on in one of the barns. Artisan vendors sold their handcrafted items in booths on the street.

“The sun broke through and there were smiles all around. It was just a great day,” said Malunowics.

Fasanella, seen here with civic president Janice Landis, is interested in pursuing the fields of agriculture and horticulture. Landis noted Fasanella was chosen for the scholarship for his reliability and cheerfulness throughout his high school career.

The scholarship, which is presented annually, is based on an internship with the civic association. Applications for the 2018/2019 internship will be made available this fall to the high school’s Resource Department at the beginning of the school year.

“Unfortunately, at this time, this operation is now considered a recovery effort,” Police Chief Michael Sarlo said Monday.

“The East Hampton Town Police Department has taken over from the Coast Guard as per standard protocols. We are monitoring the weather, and have prepared all assets to return to the water as soon as conditions allow,” Chief Sarlo said.

“Two East Hampton Town marine patrol vessels, and the East End Marine Law Enforcement Task Force vessel, all equipped with side scan sonars, stand ready to return to the search area,” the chief said. Also standing by to assist in the search, should the wreckage be located, are dive teams from East Hampton and Southampton towns, along with those from the New York State Police. The Coast Guard will be providing aircraft to assist in the search, as well.

The Federal Aviation Agency, as well as the National Transportation and Safety Board, are investigating the cause of the crash, Chief Sarlo said.

Chief Sarlo asked that “commercial fishing vessels refrain from any dragging or deployment of lines in the general search area.”

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of all those involved in this tragic accident,” he said.

David Eagan, vice president, Wainscott Commercial Center LLC, wrote in a letter to the East Hampton Town Planning Board, “It is clear that the reclaimed sand pit presents the town and the East Hampton community with one of their last opportunities to meet both current and future demand for small useable (commercial) lots. Lots are clearly needed to house both current and future construction, [and] service commercial, wholesale, and warehouse businesses that comprise and service the town’s dominant construction, tourism, and second homeowners economy.”

The town, Eagan points out, has an option if it wants to create the park land depicted in the hamlet study’s survey. He wrote, “If so inclined, the town could purchase any number of lots intended for use as a public park as suggested in the conceptual framework included in the draft Wainscott report. WCC is open to working with the town on any such open space purchases, although frankly questions the general public support for a large ‘public park . . .’”

$1.6M Goes Toward Cancer Center

By Justin Meinken

On behalf of the estate of the late Melissa Morgan, $1.6 million was donated to the formation of the new Phillips Family Cancer Center for Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. The funds were presented by the hospital’s volunteer ambassador Barbara Strong Borsack on May 29.

East Hampton resident Morgan was a longtime friend of both the Strong and Borsack families, who volunteered their time at the hospital during the 1960s.

The hospital’s new Phillips Family Cancer Center is scheduled to

open by year’s end, and will be located on County Road 39A in Southampton. The stateof-the-art facility will feature brand new technology to provide Long Islanders with a variety of treatment plans including radiation and chemo therapies, navigation, education, and supportive care.

The center will also be in full cooperation with the Stony Brook Cancer Center, thereby expanding the capabilities of both entities. For more information, contact Alyssa Melillo at 631-726-8700 ext. 6, or email her at alyssa.melillo@ stonybrookmedicine.edu. justin@indyeastend.com

For the challenge, the students wrote book reviews based on their readings of Antil’s books

Riverhead Central School District Juliette Lehman has been named Riverhead High School’s valedictorian. She is president of the school’s National Honor Society chapter and its math club and is captain of the Latin Club.

In addition, Lehman is a member of the Women in Science and Engineering program and the Latin Honor Society. In the fall, she is slated to attend Webb Institute, where she plans to study naval architecture.

Olivia Dickerson is Riverhead’s salutatorian and is a member of the French Honor Society, the National Honor Society, Robotics Club, Math Club, and Key Club. She is also a member of the Women in Science and Engineering program and captain of the varsity volleyball team. Dickerson is still deciding where to attend college.

Riverhead High School students learned about the dangers of drinking and driving under the influence when Drunk Buggies, a Suffolk County Sheriff ’s program, was presented at the school recently.

Through the hands-on program, students attempted to navigate a drivable buggy through an obstacle course while wearing goggles that simulated intoxication. They also tried to walk through the course wearing the goggles.

The program was led by Deputy Sheriff Thomas Indence, who also spoke to the students about good decision making and the risks associated with alcohol.

The students cared for the newborn chicks for one week before the hatchlings were sent to their forever homes. Some lucky students took chicks home after writing a required letter to their teacher and obtaining parental permission.

This is the second time the biotech students were given the opportunity to witness a surgery using videoconferencing technology.

In the fall, they viewed a surgical procedure on the brainstem and spinal cord of a patient. The surgeries, which are hosted by the Liberty Science Center of New Jersey, are conducted in partnership with local hospitals and arranged through Eastern-Suffolk BOCES.

As part of a science lesson on the life cycle of a chicken, second graders in Stella Boscia’s class at Westhampton Beach Elementary School hatched four chicken eggs.

While waiting for their chicks to hatch, the students learned vocabulary related to the life cycle of a chicken, drew a diagram of the inside of an unfertilized egg, and took a field trip to the Suffolk County Farm and Education Center in Yaphank for a special lesson on chicken embryology.

After nestling their eggs in a classroom incubator for nine days, the students candled the eggs to observe the embryos. Several days later, they witnessed the chicks use their “egg tooth” to peck the first holes in their shells.

In other school district news, high school juniors and seniors in Dianna Gobler’s class observed a live three-hour kidney transplant on May 22.

During the videoconference, doctors and nurses in the operating room offer insight into the procedure they are performing and answer students’ questions.

Prior to viewing the kidney transplant, students researched and presented findings about diseases related to kidney failure.

They also dissected a sheep kidney and learned more about organ donations.

“I am sorry & so saddened by this tragic news of Ben & Bonnie & their grandson Will & Jon. Ben & Bonnie were always so gracious to us my condolences to their families,” read a post from Cindy Knapp.

“As fellow restaurant workers and members of our community we offer our support. We are here for you in any way we can help,” wrote Mark Smith from Nick & Toni’s.

“Their legacy is everywhere . . . they will remain in the hearts of so many,” another post read.

Kent Feurring, president of the East Hampton Aviation Association said he had worked diligently with Bonnie Krupinski on aviation issues. “It’s a tragedy on so many levels — on a personal level, for the community, and for the airport,” he said.

Bonnie Krupinski served on the town’s Airport Management Advisory Committee. “She was a clear thinker who could get right to the issues without wasting time,” Feurring added. “We are going to miss her dearly.”

East Hampton Town Councilman David Lys said he had known Bonnie Krupinski for many years.

Lys got to know Ben when Lys was working on the restoration of the Amagansett lifesaving station.

As part of the fundraising effort for that project, the group sponsored a reenactment of the landing by Nazi saboteurs on the Amagansett beach, who were thwarted by Coastguardsmen on patrol. Ben and Bonnie, along with their grandson, attended.

“I’m going to help you get this done,” Krupinski told Lys. “Let’s do this for Amagansett.” And they did.

They also helped underwrite the playground equipped for handicapped kids at the John Marshall Elementary School, according to Lys. “They always did it for their hometown,” he said. “They were of means. They could donate to charities around the nation, but they really focused on their hometown.”

Ben, known to be a shrewd businessman, had a soft touch when it came to community.

He helped renovate the Fowler House. He built the tower at the East Hampton High School football field. His crew renovated the Ladies Village Improvement Society’s Bargain Box thrift shop.

His businesses sponsored softball and Little League teams. Bonnie worked tirelessly for the food pantries in town.

“They didn’t do it for the recognition. They did it because they thought it would be good for the community,” said a former town supervisor, Larry Cantwell.

“Ben and Bonnie’s influence and generosity reached every corner of our community,” said East Hampton Town Supervisor Van Scoyoc. “They were fully committed to East Hampton and they will be sorely missed.” Van Scoyoc added that he was “in shock” at the news of their deaths.

Memorial services will be held for the deceased at a later date. Full obituaries will appear in next week’s issue.

RICK’S SPACE

A Not So Private Place I’m not that fussy. I can remember camping out for a week in the woods. No problem — real men relish the chance to become one with nature and blend into God’s natural landscape.

I am, of course, lying. I did go camping for a week with the guys once. By the third day I was hitching four miles every morning to the old Esso station to get a little private seat time.

Times change. As we enjoyed Memorial Day weekend with our guests, imagine the pride I felt when I reflected on the days when we had only a single bathroom in the entire house. How successful we are! How lucky to have three bathrooms for times like this, when it’s rainy outside and your guests are stuck inside.

The following is a true story. The names have been changed for obvious reasons.

June 6, 2018

All I ask when guests come is a bathroom to call my own. My

The bath is fully equipped with comic books, sports magazines, and shaving junk, the kind the real, hairy men need to have on display near the sink. Full sized men like myself.

(The truth is I never use the stuff because I am not really hairy, though I am extremely virile. I just leave the stuff out there for moments like these, when guests arrive and see the bathroom for the first time.)

So, when the couple moved in for the long weekend, I realized that it would be awkward for me to be in there shaving when they woke up in the morning.

No problem. There’s a bathroom in the hallway. Designers now call them powder rooms. The only time I have ever used powder in my life is when I wore diapers, so the name strikes me as dumb. And since I stopped using diapers when I was 25, I haven’t used powder or the bathroom much. (Oh wait, I did have a rash a few years back, but never mind about that.)

Then, the guy in the junior suite came out of the room carrying a newspaper and went into, you guessed it, the powder room, and stayed there for a good half hour.

I was livid as I contemplated the indignity of it all. Finally, I pulled

“What am I going to do?”

“I’m sure he’ll be out soon, dear, there’s nothing to read in there.”

“I’m going to use the upstair’s bath,” I declared. That’s when the harsh realities of my life kicked in. “Oh no you’re not!

That’s MY bathroom!” Karen said authoritatively.

How did it come to this? How could a hairy man like myself, with special deodorant needs and protection problems, not have a fully equipped bathroom for himself ? What if I want to read a magazine?

Luckily, cabin fever got the best of them and they decided to take a ride downtown. I waited until the car pulled out and when the coast was clear, I tiptoed into the junior suite to my go-to bathroom. OMG! All the man was stuff was gone.

The shaving creams. The Old Spice.

More of the Old Spice. Old Spice

A pair of female tights was draped over the shower curtain, along with an aqua blue nightie. A couple of crumbled towels were on the side of the tub. I relaxed and opened one of my Fantasy Football magazines when I heard the front door open.

They were home! Apparently, she had to use the bathroom!

I scurried to make myself presentable but the tights and nightie fell on my head before I could get my trousers up. The bathroom door flew open and the woman started hysterically screaming, “Oh my God! Oh my God!” Her husband ran in. “What the hell!” Then, Karen peeked in over his shoulder. “Rick, what are you doing under those tights?” she demanded.

“Meditating?” I answered meekly.

Next year I don’t think they’ll be coming back. “Maybe you can go camping,” Karen suggested.

Whalers Fall In Final Inning Of County Final

By Rick Murphy

The Pierson/Bridgehampton Whalers can be forgiven if they spend the offseason lamenting the money they left on the table.

The locals found themselves staring at a big pot of gold and likely holding the best hand. But just as in poker, the better players sometimes go home with empty pockets.

And so it was, May 31, when the Whalers faced off against East Rockaway at St. Joseph’s College with the Long Island Class C

championship on the line.

Pierson/Bridgehampton sent Tyler LaBorne out to try and secure a berth in the New York State regionals and bring the team a step closer to an elusive state championship. LaBorne has made it a habit to win big games down the stretch.

The Rockman countered with Stefano Cilluffo.

The two pitchers were a contrast in styles: LaBorne, a big lefty, mixes a deceptive change-up and an occasional breaking ball

with a fastball which, while not overpowering, is nevertheless effective.

It was Cilluffo, though undersized for a pitcher, who brought the gas.

He was racking up strikeouts — six in the first three innings. His team drew first blood when Chris Carey singled and eventually scored on an error in the top of the third.

By the fifth, Cillufo seemed to be running out of steam, and Pierson got to him, scoring four runs, most on a series of daring base running moves. Oliver Kirwan singled and came all the way around on

a throwing error on an EJ Burke bunt. Burke then worked his way around the bases and scored on a passed ball. LaBorne hit a sac fly for another run, and a double steal allowed Nick Egbert to score the fourth run of the inning.

LaBorne, working out of the stretch throughout, labored in the sixth, walking in a batter and loading up the bases. Coach Jonathan Schwartz made a visit to the mound and, after a brief conference, gave the ball back his starter, who recorded a strikeout to end the threat.

Three outs away from the Long Island title and nursing a 4-2 lead, Schwartz brought in Cooper Schiavoni to replace a tired LaBorne. It should be noted Schiavoni, one of the team’s better players, is no stranger to the closer’s role and handles the pressure well.

But the Rocks still had cards to play. They worked Schiavoni for a couple walks, and with LaBorne playing first base just 90 feet away, Schwartz stuck with his closer. Jon

Starkman plated a run with a single and then Matt Perri smashed a long double to left center — easily the hardest hit ball of the day — that brought in two runs.

pitched six innings, allowing one earned run, three hits, and five walks and struck out four for the Whalers (21-3).

Cilluffo allowed no earned runs, four hits, and two walks and struck out 11, including the final four batters, to earn the win. LaBorne

The sixth inning is a lucky one for

Cillufo, rejuvenated, closed it out with some impressive smoke, striking out the side in the bottom of the inning.

The win gave East Rockaway its second Long Island Class C title in the past three seasons. The Whalers previously won three in a row, the last in 2014.

the Rockmen. Two days later, East Rockaway bested Pine Plains 6- 2 in the Class C Southeast Regional final at Cantine Field in Saugerties.

Perri pitched a complete game, and East Rockaway broke open a 2-2 game with four runs in the sixth.

The team now heads to the NYS Final Four Class C Tournament.

Chip Shots // Bob Bubka family.

The U.S. Open is just a week away and now I’m in a position to share my very own scouting report and expand upon some of the storylines that I would love to see play out.

Sad Day On The East End

Ever since word came from the USGA that the U.S. Open would return to Shinnecock Hills for the fifth time, my excitement level has steadily increased. It will soon be at crescendo level . . .

I didn’t want to miss a minute of covering my fourth U.S. Open at Shinnecock, so I arrived a week early just to take in the atmosphere and share in the buildup to what will be a fantastic National Championship. Of course, one of the side benefits is that I get to spend quality time with my brother, Tom, and his wife, June.

That’s exactly what we were doing this weekend when all the fun and joy came to a screeching halt with the heart-wrenching news of a private aircraft going down before it could get to the East Hampton airport.

June 6, 2018

The unfathomable news is that this tragic plane crash took the lives of four people that we all knew so well. I went numb when I was informed that both Bonnie and Ben Krupinski, along with their 22-year-old grandson and the pilot, all perished in the crash.

The talented staff here at The Independent will tell you the story but for me, I am stunned.

I was friends with Bonnie’s parents Pete and Babe Bistrian. Bonnie had three brothers Pat, Bruce, and Barry. All three are very special people not only to me but the entire East End. I know my life was made better by this family. Bennie was as first class as the construction projects he produced. We offer our sincere condolences to the entire

Number one storyline wish: a Phil Mickelson win. The U.S. Open title is the last remaining roadblock to Phil completing the coveted career grand slam. Only five players have won all four of golf ’s majors. Gene Sarazen was the first, followed

by Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and the last to do so, Tiger Woods. Nicklaus and Woods are the only two to have won all four twice.

It’s not for lack of effort on Phil’s part. Mickelson has finished second six times, a record he owns. The last time the U.S. Open Championship paid a visit to the East End, in 2004, Phil was second to Retief Goosen. All signs point to Phil being on the right end of some good karma.

On day three of this U.S. Open, Phil will celebrate his 48th birthday. To date, the oldest winner of a U.S. Open has been Hale Irwin who was 45 years old when he won in 1990. And, my “biggest off-the-wall reason” for a Phil win is that his dad was a commercial fisherman, which surely must carry plenty of good karma here on the East End.

ensuring traffic keeps flowing outside the Shinnecock Golf Club, with officers stationed along County Road 39 up to 7-Eleven in Southampton.

“Between officers who are working regular shifts and duties and the officers who are working extra duty, we will be pretty much all hands on deck. Of course, I want to have a little bit of reserve in the event something significant happens outside of the U.S. Open, we have to be prepared to manage that, too,” he said.

If need be, the department could shift resources from the U.S. Open if the need arises, he added.

Second on my win wish list is for a Tiger victory. It has been 10 years since Tiger last won a major. His play of late has been encouraging but certainly not convincing. Two glaring omissions from Tiger’s game seem to be his inconsistent putting and maybe his lack of confidence. Can you believe I just said Tiger might have a lack of confidence? Many of us that love this crazy game will tell you that you cannot have one without the other. I have covered all 14 of Tiger’s major wins in person and I’d really appreciate it if he could make this one major win #15.

The player that I am putting my money on is Rory McIlroy. Since this U.S. Open is being played in the Hamptons with its potential to have a “star-studded” gallery, it seems Rory just might have the right stuff to win his second U.S. Open, as he was born in Hollywood. Of course, I mean Hollywood, Ireland, but his talent has already been on display with his two PGA Championships, one

Open Championship and his single U.S. Open Championship win, in 2011.

As we all know, winning at the highest level is very difficult and any little edge could make the difference. Rory will certainly depend on his caddie’s vast experience in this U.S. Open. His caddie, Harry Diamond, a very accomplished player in his own right, recently completed two years of caddying at Shinnecock. He will most certainly know where Rory needs to hit it, and of course, where not to hit it, which putt will break which way and at what speed, and when not to go flag hunting.

Harry’s expertise combined with Rory’s expertise might make an unbeatable combination.

Reminder: The U.S. Open Merchandise Tent will be open this week, Thursday through Sunday, with no ticket needed to gain entry.

Polo at the Park field.

Hart Agency Wins Bethpage polo match

Independent/Nicole Teitler

By Nicole Teitler

Bethpage Polo at the Park kicked off its 2018 polo season on Sunday, June 3, with a match between home team The Island House, and Hart Agency/IGEA. The final score was 10-8, with the win going to Hart Agency/IGEA team.

Playing for The Island House were Peter Holowesko, Bob Ceparano, Joe Meyer, and Augustine Botaro.

The Hart Agency/IGEA team consisted of Keith Hart, Adam Lipson, Johnny Juan Redlich, and Esteban Scott.

Nicknamed “hockey on horseback” for its riveting display of athleticism, Bethpage Polo at the Park delivers weekly matches to the

masses of VIPs and grandstanders alike. Originally built in 1934, Bethpage State Park proudly continues a longtime tradition of Sunday matches. Polo remains a community game, popular with equine admirers, sport enthusiasts, and riders alike.

Tickets are $75 for VIP Tent access, including an open bar, small bites, and live music; $10 for children under 12; or $10 for general admission on the grandstand and lawn. An additional $5 parking fee is also required.

Bethpage Polo matches are held at Bethpage State Park and sponsored

by Bridgehampton National Bank.

The action has really started in the bay. Fluke are still best west of the bridge on outgoing tides in the skinny water. The incoming tides are starting to get more action each day. Our Octopi jigs in pink tipped with just a spearing have been doing very well. A few fluke in the inlet, too. The ocean fluke bite is beginning as well. Guys who worked the reef scored some keepers. The larger bass are around both in the inlet and outside on the large schools of bunker. Troll a Mojo rig around the schools and you should hook up. Greg Russo landed a 20-pounder on Saturday morning on a mojo. Bluefish are chasing bait both in the bay and ocean and are falling for tins.

Peconics The porgy bite out around Roger’s Rock, Jessup Neck, and Shelter Island remains solid with a bit larger fish back in the mix. Fluke are a bit tougher to find but a bit further east, Sag Harbor and Gardiners, they are in the deeper channels. Weakfish are in the

deeper holes near Jessup taking squid, and bluefish are following bait throughout the bay. The larger bass have been chasing bunker around Shelter Island.

Shorebound The Shinnecock canal has had a good bite on porgies when the locks are closed. There has been a decent amount of fluke with the occasional keeper making its way to the box. A few blowfish are still around as well as bluefish and bass.

The Shinnecock inlet has seen plenty of big bluefish taking most tins and plugs. Striped bass of the keeper size have fallen for bucktails on the night tides. A few fluke have been reported too. Ocean beaches have some blues and bass on the dawn and dusk tides.

Bottom line is the action is hot, so get out there and take advantage.

The heat is getting turned up in Southampton with a brand-new fitness studio, TruFusion. Originally launched in Las Vegas in 2013, TruFusion brings in the desertlike heat, with class temperatures ranging from 95 to 103 degrees and 40 to 50 percent humidity, creating a heat index of 120 degrees. I did a two-a-day, Tru Hot Pilates and Tru Barefoot Bootcamp and left feeling completely dead afterward.

Both were instructed by Liz Carrillo, who guided the class through our mats, elastic bands, light weights, and kettle bells (for bootcamp). Imagine a yoga flow meets Pilates repetitions combined with bootcamp energy, as downward dog was followed by light, weighted warrior poses and kettle belled bridges. As the movements increased, so did my heart rate and the inevitable drench of sweat. I earned my place in this TruTribe.

What is the TruFusion method?

TruFusion is a new group fitness concept offering heated and unheated yoga, barre, Pilates, bootcamp, boxing, TRX [Total Resistance Exercise] and cycle under one roof. We’re a TruTribe of authentic, edgy, and aspirational members dedicated to bettering their lifestyles one class at a time.

June 6, 2018

Have you seen a difference in those who attend here versus Vegas, where you’re from?

Those in the Hamptons have been very open to TruFusion! They are extremely friendly, conversational, and enjoying the level of class quality we’re bringing to the table.

Instructor Liz Carrillo Independent/Courtesy TruFusion

We’re finding that the intensity of our workouts, in combination with the heat, is providing a welcomed challenge — one that hasn’t been seen in the Hamptons.

Describe the goal of Tru Hot Pilates & Tru Barefoot Bootcamp.

To challenge your stabilizing core muscles. To manipulate your heart rate via the kettle bell and hand weight drills. To challenge your cardio vascular endurance with the use of heat and HIIT [High-Intensity Interval Training] exercises. To work on your range of movement through the flow of yoga fused into all classes . . . and to find your edge.

How does heat affect the body differently than if it were room temperature?

The heat helps to detoxify the liver and kidneys, release toxins through the skin, loosen and warm up muscles and ligaments, and helps you burn up to 800 to 1000 calories in 60 minutes.

Why does this work?

Have a goal? Our heated classes will help you meet it. Trust us and

see. We will challenge not only our physical fitness but also your mental strength and fortitude.

smoothie. It’s all about self-care. I love to take a nice, long hot shower and lather myself in coconut oil.
