is exploring the use of “bivalve restoration” (seeding clams and oysters) and seaweed aquaculture to improve water quality by removing nitrogen and preventing brown tide. Adult clams have demonstrated the ability to filter brown tide algae at low concentrations. SBU runs a Shinnecock Bay restoration project and has already placed 2.5 million clams in the bay, but more are needed.
“The governor asked, ‘Why doesn’t the state have a shellfish hatchery?’” Esposito reported. On the East End, local municipalities have created their own shellfish facilities and the state boasts a total of 11 fish hatcheries. “Why isn’t the state helping, why is it just the towns? That’s what the governor was asking,” Esposito recounted. “So he came out to announce $2 million for Sea Grant and that morphed into an additional $2 million for a state hatchery.”

Gov Vows Money For Water Quality
By Kitty Merrill
It was good day for the waters, Adrienne Esposito, executive director of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment, summarized.
Last Friday, Governor Andrew Cuomo joined a pantheon of elected officials and environmentalists for a tour of Shinnecock Bay aboard a Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences vessel.
The boat ride was scheduled to coincide with the governor’s announcement of plans to dedicate $2 million to the fight against brown tide. But by the time the morning ended, he offered to allocate an additional $2 million toward the creation of a state-run shellfish hatchery. Information provided by Professor Chris Gobler of Stony Brook University School of Marine and
Atmospheric Sciences was key. He described the role shellfish play in filtering waterways to the governor. Placed in areas where filtration is problematic, shellfish can play a critical role in fending off brown tide. One of the most effective ways to address brown tide is to prevent nitrogen pollution and improve water quality to prevent the bloom from feeding. Current research
Sea Grant is a federal marine research program administered through state universities. It advances an array of cutting-edge research to improve ocean health, but the federal budget proposes to defund Sea Grant programs nationwide.
The state funding will allow NY Sea Grant to expand its work across Long Island. The investment will fund a variety of projects to address brown tide and harmful algal blooms. "Long Island's unparalleled natural beauty, from the stunning coastline to the spectacular waters, is a key driver of the regional economy, and we must do everything in our power to protect the water

Whole Lotta Hope Going On
Independent/Kitty Merrill Hope Day host Pastor Keith Indovino (second from right) with volunteers.
By Kitty Merrill
Photo booth printouts carried the message, “Be of good courage, And he shall strengthen your heart, All you who Hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24.” It was some Old Testament verbiage mashing up with modern day high-tech, all designed to underscore a universal emotion: Hope.
Assembly of God, and Truth Community Church.
The second annual Hope Day East End, held Saturday, drew neighbors, kids, and close to 90 volunteers to the grounds of Truth Community Church on Bell Avenue in Flanders. With over 20 participating locations across Long Island, Manhattan, and New Jersey, Hope Day is designed to provide free food, free activities for kids, free health screenings and insurance information, free music, and fun.
The Flanders event was hosted by the Harbor Church in Center Moriches, Calvary Baptist Church in Riverhead, the Hampton Bays

Truth Community Pastor Keith Indovino offered a tour of the grounds Saturday morning, noting every offering was free. In fact, in addition to a free bag of groceries to take home, families could also participate in a free raffle boasting dozens of prizes such as gift cards to area stores, restaurants, and attractions like Splish Splash.
PBMC reps provided free blood pressure screenings next to a table manned by folks from the Southampton Town Youth Bureau, who outlined their summer-long schedule of events and activities for kids. There was free chili and some 800 hot dogs donated for lunch. Montauk Iced Tea was flowing, while officers from Southampton Town Police conducted child safety seat inspections. The YMCA donated a climbing wall for kids, Home Depot provided craft kits, and Flanders

resident Lauren Cariello brought Bam Bam the pony dressed as a unicorn for kids to enjoy. Face painting and inflatables, plus jewelry-making, completed the children’s area.
As attendees left they were offered bags of groceries, plus a selection of new clothes to choose from. They were offered the chance to have church members pray for them if they wanted, but the pastor made clear the event was not about recruiting congregation.
“This event has been amazing,” said Ashley Gisbert, who coordinated the local Hope Day. “To see church organizations and secular organizations participating, just to show our community we love them.” Flanders resident Paola Zuniga brought her daughter Valentina, 6, and son Allan, 9, to the fair. “It’s a such a good thing for the community,” she said. “Our community’s diversity -- it’s here and everybody’s having fun.”

In My Own Words:
Hope In A Dark World
By Camila Tucci
When you look at me, what do you see? Who do you think I am and what do you think I’ve done?
Do you see a young woman getting ready to head off to Temple University this fall? Do you see a 17-year-old working two summer jobs to save for college and build her resume? Or do you see dark hair, dark skin, dark eyes, and presume I don’t belong? Through a lens colored by racism, that’s what Valerie Smith
saw when she met me last Thursday. In newspapers across Long Island, the Southampton village board candidate was publicly exposed. In last week’s edition of The Independent Denis Hamill and Kitty Merrill wrote about Smith’s racist remarks towards her African American neighbors and the 100plus phone calls made to the police about them. Smith’s prejudice does not stop with African Americans and I witnessed it first hand.

‘A Lot Of Ignorance’
By Kitty Merrill
About 100 protestors rallied outside Southampton Arts Center on Monday, gathering to decry hate speech used by village board candidate Valerie Smith. Last week she made the local and NYC news when a recorded police call of her using the n-word to describe her neighbors in the Hillcrest section of Southampton was publicized. “It was entirely out of order,“ Lucius Ware, chair of the local chapter of the NAACP said. “It shows a lot of ignorance and disrespect for people of color.”
Chanting “No Hate,” the group rallied before a scheduled candidate debate Smith attended. She refused to comment on the scandal to reporters on the scene.
Following the news reports, on May 30 area elected officials, anti-bias task forces on the county and local level, plus community organizations
FrIDAY
including Eastern Long Island NAACP, Southampton African American Museum, and others issued a joint statement calling upon Smith to retract her words and apologize for them.
“Where are you from?” she asked
I sat across from her, a Hispanic young woman listening to her spew racist remarks about my people. It was as if she assumed I had just jumped the border.
“East Hampton,” I said.
A little more firmly, she repeated the question.
“I apologize for using such a hateful word last August, though I may have been justified in my anger, I should not have used that word,” she wrote. She didn’t understand that using the word was hurtful to people, she said. Voting for village board takes place on June 16. Protestors plan to mount a grass roots campaign to get the vote out and defeat Smith. “I hope she gets soundly trounced,” Ware said.
to her kitchen table and that’s where Smith’s true character came out.
Standing in the doorway on her phone, Ms. Smith invited me inside.
She did, sort of.
Following a community meeting at the neighborhood park last Thursday, Smith posted an apology on social media.
Windward Way in the Hillcrest section of Southampton last week when I responded to an ad for a videographer and blogger. I was struck by how lovely the neighborhood was, but also a little unnerved by the expression of the man I asked to direct me to number 64.
“No, where are you from?”
I said, “My mother is Colombian and my father is Italian.”
“Oh, but you were born and raised here?” she asked, suspicion in her voice.
“Yes, I was born and raised here,” I said, feeling uneasy.
We talked about her campaign and we talked about my plans for college. We moved our conversation
She started lecturing me about illegal immigration. Not in the “We need some reform to help out these families” way but in the “You people don’t belong here, you people don’t follow the rules, you people are ungrateful, you people are lazy, and we don’t want you here” kind of way.
If it weren’t for my appearance I doubt Smith would have launched into a bigoted diatribe. Her rhetoric brought me to tears. Smith told me her Hispanic housecleaner quit after she made fun of her last name. She said the woman’s last words before storming out were, “You’re a racist.” Smith didn’t get it, or understand why she was upset.

If You Care, Leave It There
By Laura Field
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation cautions visitors to natural areas against interacting with newborn fawns and other young wildlife as the peak birthing season starts. Those who see a fawn or other newborn wildlife should enjoy their encounter but keep it brief, maintain some distance, and refrain from touching the animal. During this time of year it is
SAturDAY
not unusual to see baby animals alone, seemingly abandoned. Many people assume that young wildlife found alone is helpless and needs assistance. However, human interaction typically does more damage than good. White-tailed deer fawns present a good example of how human interaction with young wildlife can be problematic. Most fawns are born during late May and early June. Shortly after birth,
while fawns are able to walk, they spend most of their first several days lying still. During this period, a fawn is usually left alone by the adult female, except when nursing. People occasionally find a lone fawn and mistakenly assume it has been orphaned or abandoned, which is rare. Fawns should never be picked up. If human presence is detected by the doe, the doe may delay its next visit to nurse.
Young wildlife are not pets. Keeping wildlife in captivity is both illegal and harmful to the animal. Wild animals are not well suited for life in captivity, and may carry diseases that can be transferred to humans. Resist the temptation to take them out of the wild.
For more information and answers to frequently asked questions about young wildlife, visit DEC’s website at dec.ny.gov.

Vito. Naturally, every Vito had a nickname to distinguish him from all the other Vitos.
Jerry’s Ink
by Jerry Della Femina
YOU’VE GOT TO LOVE THE MAFIA Yes, I know they are into all sorts of nasty things like gambling, extortion, prostitution and murder. But you have to love them because they have such cute nicknames. The police just nailed a bunch of Mafia characters on charges of racketeering and the bust yielded a treasure trove of wonderful nicknames: “Tugboat,” “Nicky the Wig,” “Tony the Cripple,” “Mustache Pat,” ”Jimmy the Jew,” “Joey Glasses,” “Vinny Carwash,” “Luigi the Professor,” “Baby Fat Larry,” and my now all-time favorite Mafia nickname, “Paulie Roast Beef.” I know that some of these guys with “cute” nicknames are killers. But I must quote the late Ben
“Bugsy” Siegel who, when sitting at a Hollywood dinner party being berated by a woman for his murderous lifestyle, finally answered her. “Relax, lady,” he said in a soft, gentle voice. “We only kill each other.”
Bugsy was reputed to have killed a few of his fellow gangsters because they made the mistake of calling him “Bugsy,” a nickname he hated. He felt it hinted that he might be unstable. I’m fascinated by nicknames.
Are nicknames an Italian/Jewish thing of the past?
My uncle married into a family that had at least 15 kids in it named
My first wife Barbara had an aunt and a cousin both nicknamed Tootsie. Even that wasn’t simple, though, because to avoid confusion, the nicknames came with descriptions. There was Big Tootsie and Little Tootsie.
What was confusing to me was Big Tootsie was a little woman. And Little Tootsie was a giant of a woman who must have outweighed Big Tootsie by 100 pounds. The explanation I got was that it went by age and Big Tootsie, the little woman, was the aunt, and was older than Little Tootsie, the niece. A few years ago I ran into an old friend from Brooklyn. I hadn’t seen him since I was 16. “Yo, Jerry,” he said. “It’s me,‘Dog.’”
“Yo, ‘Dog,’” I said. “Whatcha doin’?” “Liddle a dis. Liddle a dat.”
I was suddenly aware of how my whole speech pattern had changed the minute “Dog” identified himself.
At that moment I was back in time, standing in front of Hy and Ann’s candy store under the Culver line “el” at McDonald Avenue and Avenue U. I was a duck-tailed haircut kid with pegged pants, flirting with girls with names like “Bubbles” and Barbara “Black.”

“Ya see any of the guys?” I asked.
“Yeah,” he answered. “I went back to Avenue U to see my Aunt Mary, God bless her she’s 92, and I saw ‘Frankie Nuts’ and ‘Iggy’ and I looked for ‘Hoppy’ and ‘Polack,’ but they wasn’t around.
“‘Curly’ just went away,” “Dog” said, shaking his head. “Yeah, I read about it. Too bad, he was a nice kid.” I remembered the handsome young boy that I knew when he was 15 and tried to forget the pudgy old guy whose grainy picture was in The New York Post when he was sentenced. “I think he’s going to be away forever,” “Dog” said.
“Yeah, at this age forever is a lot closer than it was when we were 16,” I said.
We both continued the small talk in our own particular verbal shorthand, and then we awkwardly hugged each other and turned in different directions and went back to our lives.
I hardly knew “Dog” in my old neighborhood — he was part of an older, tougher group of boys, many of whom “went away.” I didn’t have the nerve to ask “Dog” what a “liddle a dis, liddle a dat” meant. Nicknames were an attempt by the kids of my generation to give everyone a distinct identity.
“Dog” was called “Dog” because when he went to the racetrack he would always bet on the long shot or the “underdog.” My friend Frankie, at the age of 16, lost his temper and slugged a gym teacher twice his size. Thus, “Frankie Nuts” was born.
Barbara “Black’s” family was from Sicily and so she had dark skin; thus she became Barbara “Black.” I won’t tell you how “Bubbles” got her name except to say it was a sexual reference related to a popular song of the time. It was a different time.
It was a different place.

Southampton School District : The School That Stole Christmas Gospel Church, intends to take the district to court over the matter.
There is no Christmas in Southampton, at least according to the school district’s calendar. Easter is gone as well. So is Rosh Hoshana.
Columbus Day never had a chance in the politically correct movement that fuels much of what the Southampton School District does, critics maintain. One critic, the Reverend Donald Havrilla of the Southampton Full
SuNDAY
The new calendar, adopted earlier this year, hardly calls any holidays by name. It is a widening of a cleansing that began in 2014 when holidays were noted by name on the calendars. Now only the dates remain. It is the latest slap in the face to some parents and taxpayers who believe the district seems to specialize in controversy, lack of transparency, and embarrassing
incidents that officials repeatedly try and fail to keep under wraps.
The saga began several years ago, when the school district championed a merger with the Tuckahoe School District despite what by all accounts was widespread opposition from district taxpayers. The district stubbornly persisted – three times voters were asked to approve the measure, and it was turned down all three times. Much of the negative press can be traced to the regime of former
School Superintendent Scott Farina, who supported the merger with Tuckahoe School District, and obstinately pushed for it. Meltdown Farina’s reign ended after a meltdown of near-epic proportions, during which he went through a divorce and a bankruptcy. The final straw, though, made the district a laughing stock: a rumor that a pornographic picture circulating through classrooms, though

Sand In My Shoes
In between, Ryan drove Rory to grammar school for eight years, waiting for him to be safe inside the building before he drove off. Then Ryan went to bed one middle-aged night and when he awakened his son was a teen in high school.
by Denis Hamill
Graduation Blues In The Terror Age Ryan rose on a recent bright May morning and drove his son, Rory, to high school for the very last time. When he started the car the nearby rumble and hoot of an LIRR train made him think of his 17-year-old son as a two-year-old playing with Thomas trains on the living room floor as the old analog TV screen a few feet away broadcast the first gleaming jetliner smashing into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Ryan’s oblivious tyke was pure choo-chooing innocence on Sept. 11, 2001 as the Terror Age ignited at 8:46 AM in an indelible orange fireball live on the “Today Show.”
After two weeks of horror, bagpipes, and flyers of the missing, Ryan packed the family car, loaded his son into a child’s seat, and drove due east until he ran out of road at Montauk.
There on the edge of the world where a storied lighthouse stood on the rocky shore like a defiant beacon in an intermittent American storm, Ryan found the quiet distance and eerie calm to make order out of the chaos of the world in which his baby boy would now grow to manhood. The family

stayed a therapeutic week at the Montauk Manor on a hill above the harbor. Life had forever changed.
Ryan realized then that his son would never enjoy the innocent life he had taken for granted. When Rory started school, Ryan drove him every day, watching Rory grow in an age when it was the new normal to be searched at airports, ballgames, concerts. Even Disney shows.
June 7 2017
For 12 years Ryan and Rory shared those special morning drive-toschool minutes together, in lashing rain, as fulvous leaves fell, through smothering snow, and when the first verdant buds of spring whispered of summer vacation. These were the quiet father/ son times between tick and tock when the magic of life happens.
Rory would learn world history in a time of ISIS beheadings in the Middle East.
Rory would learn world history in a time of ISIS beheadings in the Middle East, terrorist bombs in Boston, soldiers murdered on American army bases, slaughter at a California office Christmas party, and lone wolves mowing down innocents with bombs, machine guns, and trucks all over Europe. Rory had gone from Thomas trains
On Rory’s final day of high school, after some 2100 morning drivesto-school together, father and son were silent for the first few minutes. Then: “Last one, Dad.”
“Want you to know these mornings were some of the best of my life.” “Mine too. Thank you.” Rory cleared his throat, looking ahead. “For everything.” “Thank you, kiddo.”
Ryan draped his arm across his
son’s broad shoulders. Rory was an inch taller than his father now. He would soon be 18. For Ryan part of Rory would always be two in those moments before the first plane detonated like a second clap of creation of a much darker universe. But right now Rory had prom, graduation, and one last summer before leaving for college upstate.
Ryan dreaded that drive to school.
Father and son fist-bumped, as always, at the last high school dropoff. Then Ryan sat and watched until his son was safe inside as he had when he was a first grader. A few days later, Rory had a gang of friends over the house for a party in the basement. Ryan sat upstairs watching the cable newscaster announce that a bomb had just exploded at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, where 22 people, most teenagers raised in the Terror Age, had already perished. Rory came upstairs. “I need a TV clicker …” Rory froze in the spot where he’d played Thomas trains almost 16 years earlier. He glared at the sickening images on the flat screen TV. “It just never ends,” Rory said.
No, it doesn’t. Two weeks later on the afternoon of June 3 Ryan watch Rory walk to the stage and accept his diploma at a graduation ceremony. When they returned home after a family lunch, Ryan turned on the TV and father and son saw the disturbing images out of London where seven innocents were murdered and 48 injured in the third terrorist attack on Britain in three months.
Ryan felt like loading his kid in the car and heading east for Montauk. denishamill@gmail.com

Town Board Suits Glinka
sense of reality.” In the end he is confident, “we’ll be able to guide it” in the right direction.
Southampton Councilman Stan Glinka was in the catbird’s seat during a recent public hearing concerning a proposal championed by the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club to privatize a portion of Tuckahoe Road.
As for the privatization of the western portion of Tuckahoe Road - the portion that runs through the golf course – Glinka thinks it’s too early to even consider because Southampton Hospital is closing its Southampton Village facility.
“I grew up very close to the area. I worked at the pro shop. I caddied there,” he recalled. Thus, he has the perspective only a local can bring to an issue.
“Eventually it will be the new home of Southampton/Stony Brook Hospital,” he pointed out. A new hospital is to be built on the old Southampton College property across County Road 39 from the golf course.
Though he never dabbled in politics before, Glinka, who is a Vice President at Bridgehampton Bank, has enjoyed his first term so much that he’s on board for another twoyear stint. “It has been a humbling, rewarding experience,” he said during an interview this week. “I actually went into it with no expectations. I was humbled on election night to realize I had been given this opportunity.” Board watchers agree Glinka is a cool customer on the dais. He is never ruffled, and he spends most of the time listening. “Am I civil? Absolutely. You have to collaborate to come up with a solution. I listen to every person who speaks.”
Glinka, one of two minority members of the five-man Democratic Party-controlled board, isn’t afraid to voice his opinions though. “It is occasionally frustrating to be the minority. I’m getting feedback from everyone before I voice my opinion.”
tuESDAY
“There will be all kinds of traffic studies from the county and state. The whole area will be reconfigured. I can’t have a knee-jerk reaction. I have to look at the entire picture.” It’s just another day at the office for the unflappable Glinka. He has successfully pushed through legislation to help small businesses, and as the board liaison to the code enforcement office, he has gone on ride-alongs to better understand the ins and outs of the job. He did the same with the highway department head, Alex Gregor. The biggest decision the town will have to make in the near future is to decide the fate of The Hills, a planned golf course and 118-unit community planned for 436 acres in East Quogue.
Glinka realizes the developers have certain rights and acknowledges some community opposition. “It’s

“I think I bring a sense of reality to the town board. I have a real good pulse of what people are looking for,” Glinka said.
Southampton GOP Sets Slate
By Rick Murphy
Back in the day the Republican Party ruled Southampton Town for decades on end. Then came Fred Thiele and his pesky Southampton Party in 1991, and afterwards an Independence/ Democratic Party coalition that for
the most part has kept the GOP from dominance.
The party is currently on the short end of the 3-2 majority, but party head Damon Hagan is hopeful that will change this year. Continued On Page 60.

Mackin Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone was joined by Town of Southampton Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, Suffolk County Legislators Bridget Fleming and Al Krupski, community leaders and advocates on May 30 to mark the groundbreaking of a $5 million roundabout project in Riverside. The traffic mitigation project will expand the one-lane traffic circle to a two-land modern roundabout in Riverside. There will be eight separate construction phases required so that traffic can be maintained in the existing traffic circle.
Milton Vera Lopez was making quite the haul, Riverhead Town Police alleged. The East Elmhurst man, 50, was spotted shortly after 3 PM Saturday at the Express Clothing Factory Outlet by an employee who observed him removing a cache of women’s clothing. Police responded and said they apprehended Lopez outside the store with over $1100 worth of items.
Lopez was arrested and charged with fourth degree grand larceny,

The Unsolved Mystery Of Georgica Pond
By Rick Murphy
Agents from the United States Secret Service viewed the home of Alan and Susan Patricof warily. The house was bordered on two sides by heavy thicket, too dense to penetrate – and secure against would-be assassins.
According to a source, though Bill and Hillary Clinton wanted to
spend the weekend of August 8 and 9, 1998, at their friends’ residence, they were overruled by the Secret Service. So too was the cottage of another family friend, Denise Rich, who lived on Two Mile Harbor Road. In her case the residence was too wide open, with little coverage or privacy, at least not enough suitable
for a United States Presidential residence.
Another friend and avid supporter, Steven Spielberg, offered his sprawling Georgica Pond estate to the Clintons. It was perfect except for one concern. The Secret Service went about the task of securing the perimeter of the estate. Tim Volk’s garbage
DECISIONS MADE HERE
truck, headed to empty the trash of Spielberg’s neighbors, was ordered to turn around. The agents could not ascertain what was inside the vehicle, and would take no chances. Landscapers with thousands of dollars worth of shrubbery arrived down the block. When they started digging, agents told them to leave. There would be nothing buried in the neighborhood until after the weekend.
The murky waters of the pond were so dark that agents couldn’t see the bottom, so dense scuba divers could approach the Spielberg compound unseen. So in the middle of the night three days before Mr. Clinton's arrival, a trench was dug from the head of the pond to the ocean, turning Georgica Pond into a mud hole.
MAKE HERE BETTER.
The East Hampton Town Trustees had the sole authority to drain the pond, but denied doing so. The East Hampton Village and Town police chiefs denied knowing anything about it. Residents wondered how someone was able to drive a bulldozer that was obviously used to dig the trench down the beach without being spotted by the sentries on duty there.

Reflections With Julie Andrews
and datebooks of days past, and have been watching her movies, in the order in which she filmed them. Watching them makes her “alternately amazed, and then quite sad, and then very delighted and sometimes disgusted,” she said with a laugh.
After ruling Broadway with My Fair Lady and Camelot, dazzling film audiences with Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, and reaching over 100 million television viewers in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Julie Andrews in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s was, quite literally, the most famous woman in the world. (During the same time period, OJ Simpson was the most famous man -- for his sporting proficiency, not the later, darker reasons).
The word “iconic” is overused. But some people surpass fame and simply become part of our makeup, of who we are. Andrews has never stopped dazzling; whether through her other film and television projects, her live concerts, her best-selling children’s books (coauthored with her daughter and Sag Harbor resident Emma Walton Hamilton), her involvement in humanitarian concerns, or her recent turn as theater director. And now the Hamptons International Film Festival, celebrating its silver anniversary, will award Andrews a Lifetime Achievement Award during its October extravaganza, with a showing of Victor Victoria followed by a Q&A with Alec Baldwin, who recently appeared on “Julie’s Greenroom,” a Netflix series where Andrews encourages children to explore the arts.

But it’s time for reflection on a gorgeous Thursday afternoon, sipping cups of tea at Andrews’s dining table on the East End. Andrews is working on her second autobiography, a sequel to Home: A Memoir of My Early Years. This
“All of the movies were a discipline of learning for me,” she said. “Obviously Poppins was learning about what close-ups mean and what medium shots mean, and discovering the world of cinema and one’s place in it. And there were a lot of special effects, which really taught me the patience of waiting,” Andrews continued. “The difference between doing theater – which is starting at the beginning and finishing at the end – and film – which is holding the entire script in your head and sometimes filming completely out of sequence – is enormous. You just hope that the director and the editor can patch it all together into a brilliant jigsaw puzzle.”
book is about her prime time in Hollywood.
“I don’t sleep very well these days,” she admitted. “I keep pulling in wisps of memories. It’s a long time ago that a lot of this happened, and there’s so much that I want to recall in the right way – separating the true experiences from what have become essentially just stories and
anecdotes.”
At the end of her last book, Andrews hadn’t quite reached Hollywood. “I hadn’t even made a film yet,” she said. “It was such a learning experience. And I want to do justice to the great directors and cinematographers, and what it takes to get it done.” She and Hamilton have been poring over her diaries
After Poppins, Julie jumped into a non-singing role with The Americanization of Emily, written by Paddy Chayefsky. “It’s probably Paddy I mention the most of all [in the upcoming book]. It was his script that was so riveting. I didn’t have to know very much about acting because he wrote the words so well they just fell out of one’s mouth correctly,” she said.
“The Sound of Music was a very tough working experience, and then Hawaii was next, and that was . . .” Andrews trailed off for a moment. “Well, it wasn’t just learning your craft, it was battling the elements, and fatigue, and early hours.”

But honing her film presence was an essential part. “Bob Wise [the director of Sound of Music] taught me about close-ups, where to look. You see, if you try to look into the other person’s eyes during a two-person scene, your eyes will be constantly dashing back and forth, and it doesn’t look right on film. You either have to focus in the middle, or on the camera eye. That was something that Bob gave me.”
George Roy Hill gave her the gift of stillness. “He taught me how to just sit in silence. It’s a great gift for an actor to not be doing anything,

but to be doing it actively,” she said. Andrews worked with James Garner early in her career, in Americanization of Emily, then again in Victor Victoria almost 30 years later. “He was delicious to work with every time,” she said. Referencing her husband, the late Blake Edwards, who directed Victor Victoria, she said, “Blake said to me, ‘Just watch him, Julie. Watch Jimmy. He’s not only a great actor; he’s a great reactor.’ And in that role, it’s pretty much what he has to do...he’s brilliant.” Are there any roles where she wishes she could have a do-over? “The Hitchcock movie,” she said,
referencing Torn Curtain, one of Alfred Hitchcock’s lesser-known ventures into spyhood and political intrigue. “It was a lovely experience. Paul Newman was delightful – he called me ‘the last of the really great broads,’ which was such an honor coming from him,” she laughed. “But to Hitchcock, that particular project didn’t matter that much. So when we would say, ‘Can we do it this way?’ he would say, ‘Sure, do whatever you want.’ He wasn’t invested in that film the way he was in his other work, so I wasn’t really invested either.” But he did teach her about camera lenses. “Don’t ever let them use this lens on you,” Hitchcock told the young actress.

“It will make your nose grow dreadfully.”
Even the filming of Victor Victoria was another difficult period for Julie. Her two younger daughters, Amelia and Jo, were just settling in to a new school, and she was torn between her duties as an actress and a mother. “Motherhood always comes first,” she said, and added, “Working with Emma now is such a great joy. One of the best times I’ve ever had.” And working with Edwards was always a positive experience. The couple made many films together, including Darling Lili, 10, SOB, That’s Life!, and others. “I always felt safe in Blake’s hands as a director. I so admired the way he directed – never gimmicky. He never shot through keyholes, he didn’t like that sort of showing off of the ego. He said that hopefully the most important thing was that you would never think there was a camera there,” she said.
As for the Hamptons Film Festival award, Dame Julie Andrews is “pleased and honored” by the accolades. She and Baldwin are good friends and she’s looking forward to their onstage interview. “He’s another delicious guy,” she said. “And I know he will ask all the right questions. He’s truly interested in film.”
And Andrews is convinced that it is her natural curiosity and interest in things that keeps her grounded and moving forward. “More than anything, it’s been – all of it – such a great learning experience. I wouldn’t have traveled to the places I’ve traveled to, met the people I’ve worked with – I’m glad I have a curious nature anyway, but to learn about Hawaii, or Austria, and to learn about the directors and their differences, it’s just all been fascinating.” “So much of work is learning in the moment, and just hoping you’ll do a great job,” she said. “For me, to stop learning is to stop living. There’s still so much out there,” she said. “I don’t think I would ever be able to stop doing something. I would always have to keep busy, because that’s what I’ve been doing my whole life.” “There’s a lot that I’ve lost,” she said, “but there’s a lot that I’m very pleased and proud of as well.”

The Man In The Ceiling
By Bridget LeRoy
try too hard to include the entire cast and several possibly powerful moments are muddied by multiple voices.
There’s no question that the musical adaptation of Jules Feiffer’s The Man in the Ceiling, which enjoyed its world premiere opening at Bay Street Theater on Saturday night, will have a life after its Sag Harbor run. There is equally no doubt that Jonah Broscow, the young man who plays Jimmy, the teenage cartoonist, is a star. Every moment he is on stage – which is most of the time – is an absolute delight. The other true stars in this talented production are the puppets, created from Feiffer’s designs by master puppeteer Rick Lyon, which spring from Jimmy’s imagination and appear when he is alone, drawing in his room; and the animated set by designer David Korins, evocative of crumpled pages and illustrations. With the exception of Broscow, the entire cast plays many parts, sitting on prop boxes just offstage, and appearing sometimes as family members, other times as cartoon characters, and coming together as one entity to portray the title character. Jeffrey Seller, who directed the production, uses the Bay Street space to its full advantage, and there isn’t a dull moment in the evening, which goes by at a ferocious clip.
The story follows young Jimmy in his somewhat dysfunctional family – his dad doesn’t approve of his artistic bent and wants him to
Erin Kommor is terrific as Jimmy’s sister, although the relationship doesn’t evolve. And Jimmy’s connection with Beemer (Brett Gray), the bully, fizzles out after a scene where Jimmy sort of stands up to him. So many interesting cans of worms were opened, but then closed too quickly or just left open without a resolution.
in the Ceiling appears to him. Is it God? A new cartoon character Jimmy created? Or a psychotic break?
Lester’s musical-within-a-musical, “You Are The Friend,” was a hilarious interlude well executed by cast and crew, and a high point for Saturday night’s audience. Also the songs “Kidding Around” and “I Do What I Do” had the audience tapping its feet along with the numbers.
But many of the songs seem to

play ball, his mom is constantly on the phone with work, his sister is supportive but loud and needy, and Uncle Lester, the failed composer, lives in the attic and can’t write a love song to save his life.
There’s also Charley Beemer, an athletic bully whom Jimmy idolizes, cajoling Jimmy into writing a comic book – “The Hand of Doom” -- for which Charley will take the credit. And hands are Jimmy’s Achilles heel; he can’t draw them and agonizes over it in private and in the showstopper “Hands.” Even his superhero creations all seem to want something from Jimmy. There is a palpable pressure on the boy when suddenly the Man
This is one of the questions that is raised in The Man in the Ceiling and not really sufficiently answered. Andrew Lippa – the production’s composer and lyricist who also wrote the very catchy Addams Family musical – is adorable as Lester, but why can’t he write a love song? Is it something from his past, or has he just not met the person yet who can bring that song out of him? The parents – well played by Danny Binstock and Nicole Parker -- have a few poignant moments together as well, like in the songs “Disappearing” and “Like Your Son.”
But is The Man in the Ceiling too cartoon-y, or not cartoon-y enough? All in all, the creative triumvirate of Feiffer, Lippa, and Seller have constructed something with enchanting moments and solid bones. It would be nice if it were fleshed out even further, with the more two-dimensional figures fully shaded and colored into cathartic, sympathetic characters that stay indelibly inked on the heart long after the evening is over.

Catherine Smith
By Zachary Weiss WHO:
Catherine Smith, founder of Plan de Ville INSTAGRAM: @CatherinePDV BIO: PLAN DE VILLE is an online shopping hub for emerging brands founded in November 2014 by Catherine Smith. Catherine started her career in publishing as the intern to Stefano Tonchi, the editor in chief of W Magazine, and continued as a fashion writer and stylist with Condé Nast for several years. Catherine received her Masters in fashion studies from Parsons The New School for Design, and is affiliated with numerous leading fashion industry
intuitions including: the Couture Council of the Museum of FIT, the St. Louis Fashion Fund, and the Fashion Group International. FAVORITE SPOTS: If the hot-spots are already booked, skip the super-sceney hotels and try the under-the-radar Montauk Blue Hotel. Formerly Ocean Beach Resort, the hotel was redesigned and rebranded after Hurricane Sandy, and the affordable nightly rates plus oceanfront view and beach access are an incredible combo. I like Joni’s breakfast before I take a long walk to Ditch Plains – I don’t surf, but I do spectate!
I have family in East Hampton and they introduced me to Villa, on Railroad Avenue, which is a great place to grab lunch before going to

Artist Profile : Martha McAleer
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Martha McAleer knew she wanted to be an artist from a very young age. “All I’ve ever wanted to be and all I’ve ever been is an artist,” she stated.
McAleer works primarily on canvas with acrylic paint and plaster. She creates paintings that include a great amount of texture and provide a cool color palate. “I want to draw the viewer in for a moment with a curiosity to move in closer to touch the textures to determine what they are seeing,”
said McAleer.
She takes inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe, with some of her largescale colorful florals. McAleer paints large enough for the work to consume her field of vision. She layers one color, idea, and texture at a time. McAleer is represented by William Ris Gallery in Jamesport and the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor.

Out Of The Question
Toni Ross, Rick Friedman, Eric Fischl, and Vered.
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Do artists take market expectations into account when creating their art? Tomorrow at “Out of the Question,” a salon conversation series, artists and experts will discuss just that. Producer and moderator Warren Strugatch will guide a conversation between prominent East End artists Eric Fischl and Toni Ross and the well-known art consultant Rick Friedman and gallerist Vered. The series, now in its fourth season, will be held at the Southampton Arts Center. “Out of the Question” aims to have audience members enjoy a spirited dialogue with some of the East End’s leaders in the fields of arts, business, restaurants, architecture, and real estate.
This week, the topic is art. The group of panelists will impart their wisdom on a subject that is rarely broached publicly: “The Business of Art: Passion or Profit?”
Strugatch is a writer and business strategist. As a frequent contributor for The New York Times, he covers topics of business, arts, technology, and public policy.
Fischl is considered one of the most influential figurative painters of our time. As an acclaimed painter and sculptor, his artwork is displayed in museums throughout the world. Artist Toni Ross is a sculptor and ceramist. She states her art “seeks symmetry between the temporal and the timeless,” on the show’s website.
Larry Rivers, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Roy Lichtenstein. The program starts at 7 PM and has a 75-minute run time. Enjoy refreshments and mingle afterward on the Southampton Arts Center’s east lawn while continuing the
Independent/courtesy “Out of the Question”
conversation.
The “Out Of The Question” series will run through September. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance or at the door. For more info visit www.OOTQshow.com.
Friedman is the founder of Hamptons Expo Group, which was responsible for presenting ArtHamptons, the East End’s first fine art fair. The company was also host to fine art fairs in Aspen, Houston, San Francisco, Palm Springs, and Silicon Valley.
Vered was the founder of Vered Gallery in East Hampton, and is now a private art consultant and dealer. She has exhibited works by artists such as Willem de Kooning,

A Catwalk For Canines: Save Animals Domestically And Globally
By Nicole Teitler
Two-legged and four-legged friends alike will be strutting their stuff at Catwalk for Canines this Saturday. Hosted by The Gabby Wild Foundation to benefit the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, an ethical and ecofriendly fashion show will take place from 1 to 4 PM at the Southampton Social Club in Southampton.
Roughly 20 to 25 models will be walking in sustainable, ethically produced clothing designs, with a furry friend up for adoption as their perfect accessory. Two of these models include myself, Nikki on the Daily, and The Independent’s very own associate publisher, Jessica Mackin-Cipro.
hors d’oeurves, a silent auction, and raffle. Money raised from the sale of raffle tickets aids The Gabby Wild Foundation’s conservation efforts. As wildlife faces a constant threat from human activity, the foundation aims to help rainforest reforestation, provide camera trap monitoring systems, and help the critically endangered Sumatran tiger, Sumatran elephant, and Sumatran rhino.
Raffle sales protect the wild side in all of us, while ticket sales directly support local, domestic efforts towards the Southampton Animal Shelter. Sales also help curb euthanasia rates among dogs along with welfare initiatives.
Designers include Daiá; Barbara D’Altoè’s fashion house, Maison Ròde; Marita Wrong; MXN Clothing; and Pelush, and all lines are PETA certified.
Tickets to the benefit can be purchased on the Southampton Animal Shelter website, www. southamptonanimalshelter. com under events. Tickets are $65 each. You can follow more stories from Nicole Teitler on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat as Nikki On The Daily.
Gabby Wild, a frequent social visitor to The Hamptons, decided to do something more meaningful with her time, and a first time collaboration with Southampton Animal Shelter was born.
“Feral cats and dogs spread diseases to the public. Supporting this program in and of itself is so important. We have these best friends that are available for adoption. And who doesn’t like amazing hors d’ouerves, fashion, puppies, and wine? I don’t think there could be a better combination of these things,” Wild commented. Guests can expect more than impressive fashion looks. The event will also include wine tastings,

ARF Designer Show House By Ashley O’Connell
Memorial Day weekend set upon the East End once again, and when it seemed like even a three-day weekend wasn’t long enough, it was a task to choose which soiree to attend. One event that always provides fresh faces of the furry variety is the annual ARF Designer Show House event. Standing for Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, ARF was founded in 1974 to provide care and help find abandoned animals happy homes. A non-profit organization, ARF relies on donations and thrift store sales.
On May 27, the ARF Thrift & Treasure Shop in Sagaponack metamorphosed into a dazzling designer showcase. The quaint old home featured rooms curated by noted interior designers. Combining items sold at the ARF shop, along with a medley of textures and fabrics of their own, the rooms were transformed.
Beautiful relaxed settings made it easy to imagine incorporating the still-for-sale items into your own home, whether it be a micro studio in Manhattan or beach bungalow in Bridgehampton. Styles varied from room to room, from a modern black and white mini chamber by Iris Zonlight to the minimal bedroom with butterfly bedazzled backdrop by McMillan Inc. A nod perhaps to Hamptons history, the fisherman-inspired breakfast nook by designer Richard Keith Langham featured madras print cloth walls. The separate cabin featured two rooms by Rachael Ray Home, including a cozy sitting room

The Surfrider Foundation is searching for volunteers to help out with their annual fundraiser “Two Coasts, One Ocean” on Saturday, July 8, at Navy Beach in Montauk. Volunteers will be able to get tickets to the after party, and a Surfrider Swag Bag including a tee shirt and water bottle. For more information email John Weber at jweber@surfrider.org

in shades of blue that left viewers anything but blue. Blue seemed to be a theme this year, with Cathy Kincaid’s sitting room boasting skycolored prints and solids. The festivities included food and drinks but more notably, setting it apart from other charity events was the ARF van filled with critters just waiting to find a fur-ever home. Whether you have adopted a menagerie of your own or simply admire your friend’s precious pooches, ARF is a notable cause to support.

The Food Lab And Flay
Roman Roth; Ron Tanner, vice president of the Specialty Food Association; along with a number of speakers and panelists from Long Island’s East End.
By Bridget LeRoy
If you are a foodie and don’t know about The Food Lab conference at Stony Brook Southampton this weekend, you really, really should.
Topics for panels on Saturday include: CIY: The Joys of Cooking It Yourself; Unscrambling Nutrition: Fad, Fashion, and Functional Foods; Looking Ahead: Social Responsibility, Food Security, Farming, Fishing and Food Making; and The Future of Restaurants: From Fine Dining to Food Halls and Food Trucks.
This year, The Food Lab will present “Fifty Years of Food in America: 1970-2020.” Food enthusiasts, cooks, celebrity chefs, farmers, and food producers will join Bobby Flay, David Barber, and Michel Nischan along with beer, wine, and spirits makers for two days of entertaining and informative talks and tastings, cocktail parties, and a gala dinner on Saturday night at the Southampton campus. Tickets for the two-day conference, including all meals, start at $150.
The conference gets underway on Friday with a reception for VIPs and key media, preceding an opening cocktail reception at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (SoMAS) field station on Shinnecock Bay. One of two keynote speakers for the conference, TV personality and East End resident Bobby Flay, will discuss his personal view of “Food, Cooking, and a Brief Personal History of Food Television.” The successful chef and restaurateur became one of the first celebrity chef stars of the Food Network, introducing “food as sport” in the original “Iron Chef America” series. An “Iron Chef America” reboot as “Iron Chef Gauntlet” is currently in production. On Saturday, a second keynote speaker, David Barber — of Blue Hill restaurants and the Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture — will speak about future directions in the food world, and opportunities to incorporate new technologies in shaping them. Blue Hill at Stone Barns – a working farm, restaurant, and consulting company supporting agriculture -- was recently named the 11th best restaurant in the world by World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The 138-acre farm in Great Barrington, MA, has been in the Barber family for four 44
The chef for the Saturday night gala dinner will be Cheryl Stair of Art of Eating. Other food for the conference will be prepared by Hamptons Aristocrat, private chef Martine Abitbol, and Bex Waffles specialty food truck.
generations.
Barber is also founding partner of the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in Westchester County. The unique nonprofit advances community and ecologically-based food production in the promotion of alternative ways to farm and eat. Blue Hill (NYC) received the James Beard Outstanding Restaurant Award in 2013. Blue Hill at Stone Barns received the same honor in 2015 and was added to the San Pellegrino World 50 list.
Also on Saturday, you can attend “Changing the World Through Food” with Michel Nischan, a chef and leader in the sustainable food movement, as well as a threetime James Beard Foundation Award winner. Nischan is founder, president, and CEO of Wholesome Wave, co-founder of the Chefs Action Network, and partnered
with the late actor Paul Newman to establish the former Dressing Room Restaurant. He and his Wholesome Wave team were successful at influencing legislative language for the recently passed Federal Farm Bill, supporting affordable access to healthy, locally grown fruits and vegetables for low income consumers.
Other notable guests who will be taking part in Friday and/or Saturday events include: Tanya Steel, former editor in chief at Epicurious.com and founder of the Obama White House Kids Healthy Cooking initiative; Jack Bishop, editor in chief, Cooks Illustrated and host of “America’s Test Kitchen;” author and Julia Child biographer Alex Prud’homme; Nancy Hopkins, editor of Better Homes & Gardens; Matchbook Distilling founder Leslie Merinoff; Wölffer Vineyards winemaker
The Food Lab offers and supports food literacy at all age levels, from collaboration with farmto-school projects as part of its Young Agrarians program, to undergraduate courses in food studies in conjunction with the Stony Brook departments of Nutrition, Sustainability, Marine Sciences, and other interested programs. As convener of conferences and dialogues, The Food Lab also serves to organize discussions around food issues on the East End and for the ecosystem of food studies programs around the world. Also, in partnership with the Amagansett Food Institute and its South Fork Kitchens incubator program, The Food Lab provides small-batch food production space, entrepreneurial training, and technical assistance to food businesses and food-related enterprises, helping to drive economic development on the East End.
Conference tickets are $150, or $75 for students and farmers. Saturday dinner-only tickets are $75, and there are also $2500 Friend of the Food Lab tickets available for the Friday VIP cocktail reception. For more information, visit www. thefoodlab.org, or email Kathleen. Russo@stonybrook.edu.

For the dressing: Toast the coriander seed in the oven at 375 degrees for 5 minutes, then allow it to cool and use a spice or coffee grinder to grind the seeds. In a blender cup add 1 shallot, mustard, ground coriander, and the juice from the oranges. While blending these ingredients slowly add the blended oil until you have reach a thick emulsified dressing. At the end you can mix in some salt and pepper to taste as well as the orange zest.
hot water and let them cool in the fridge for at least an hour. When the beets have cooled, peel off the skin under cold running water. Cut thin uniform slices of beet and layer them in a circular pattern. In a mixing bowl add the arugula, walnuts, and a bit of the dressing and mix together. Put a little salad in the middle of each plate lined with the beet carpaccio. Top with the crispy fried shallot rings and enjoy.

not rare rare, kind of rarish but a little bit wellish.”
Here’s my secret: Take every kind of seed you have out of the spice rack -- poppy, sesame, mustard, whatever. Press the meaty side of rack into the seed mixture and place it meaty side up on the grill. Flip it in five minutes but don’t let the seeds burn. Serve it with the sauce on the side, not on it.
RICK’S SPACE
by Rick Murphy
Manning The Grill Yes, I do still barbecue, at least on Memorial Day.
I like hanging around the grill, a cold one in hand, supervising the proceedings like a drill sergeant at boot camp. There’s always a ballgame on the radio like the good old days. When I was younger (and poorer) we used to do bring-your-ownBBQs all the time. I'd make marinated shrimp and steak and lamb kebabs and stuff like that. They would disappear in an instant. That's because most of my freeloading friends brought stuff that was barely edible.
Couples would show up with the guy carrying a six pack and his mate carrying a "covered dish." It sounded like they were going to an Amish barn raising. "Becca brought her dirty bean casserole,” Jacob would say proudly, as if that was some sort of achievement. Then he'd put his warm six pack of Rheingold on the deck to bake in the sun and dig into my cooler of chilled Heinekens. Maybe next time Becca could clean
her beans first?
The very word “casserole” sends shivers. It is a euphemism for "leftovers." Take whatever threeday-old stuff in the refrigerator you can no longer identify, add cheese and liquid, and bake it until it is brownish gray. There's your casserole. No wonder they cover it.
They put it on the table where it will remain untouched for six hours and in the interim see how many of my shrimp they can cram into their mouths before the flies take the cover off of the thing and everyone sees how ugly it is.
Did you ever have a BYO BBQ and notice how many people bring a package of cheap hot dogs? Yet people who bring hot dogs and burgers almost never bring rolls. How do you eat a frank without a roll? You hold it like a cigar, I guess. Meanwhile, they make a beeline towards the steak.
Then there’s always the vegan that say, “So you like eating the flesh of a slaughtered animal?”
I point out when I pick a tomato I can hear the anguished cry as I rip it from the vine, yet I have never heard chopped meat audibly object to being put on the grill.
And no, corn does not appreciate getting stripped and boiled to death. Anyhow, I made baby back ribs this time around. Here is a neat recipe straight from Texas.
I start with my BBQ sauce, which is a variation of what’s known as Babcock’s sauce in Sag Harbor as served up at the Corner Bar for so many years. It’s basically honey, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, ketchup, mustard, a splash of dry sherry, and a dab of hot sauce and/or pepper. The trick is to let it simmer for hours at a very low temperature, stirring often. I put my ribs in a Dutch oven with beef or vegetable stock and let them sit in the oven, covered, with the
I make collard greens chopped and cooked down in a pot with a good old ham bone. Then I sauté onion, red pepper, garlic, and jalapeno, carve some meaty bits off the bone, add the collard greens into the pan and let it all simmer in white wine and sherry. Collards are a hell of a lot better than kale and much cooler no matter what they tell you in DUMBO! Before you eat, take a moment and raise a glass to those who gave their lives so we could enjoy life. Our Uncle Irving was killed in the second battle of Pork Chop Hill on July 11, 1953, an hour before the battle ended and just two weeks before he was scheduled to come home. He was 18.

Trogir & Dubrovnik The Walled Cities In September of 2014, we took our most fondly remembered trip yet: to Croatia. We flew into Split on United Airlines and spent our first nights in the small, but mighty, ApartHotel Bellevue in Trogir. Mighty mostly because of the unbelievable breakfast they serve to guests. The room was pleasant, the wifi good, but the breakfast was superb! You name it, they served it, graciously and generously. And, for my hubby, best of best -- plenty of espresso, his only preference for coffee since our first trip to Italy! Trogir is a beguiling little town created 2300 years ago; it’s been influenced by ancient Greeks, Romans, and Venetians. In 1997, it joined the UNESCO World Heritage List, declared the best-preserved RomanesqueGothic complex in all of Central Europe. Its medieval core, still partly surrounded by walls, includes

architecture from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. Trogir's grandest building is the Church of St. Lawrence. Its west portal by Radovan is a masterpiece considered the most significant work of the Romanesque-Gothic style in all of Croatia.
We wandered happily around Trogir, delighted by the first stop on our grand Croatian adventure. Since we took this particular trip before we decided to write about our travels, we neglected to detail all the places we ate, but suffice to say, wherever we went in Croatia, dining was a delicious and surprisingly inexpensive proposition. From Trogir, we caught a bus to Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik’s not-to-be-missed activity is walking the walls that surround the city, all 1.2 miles of them. From the wall, you gaze over the entire city and out to the sea, from a wide variety of viewpoints.
Known as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is on the Dalmatian

coast and was an important Mediterranean Sea power from the 13th century on. Although severely damaged by a 1667 earthquake, Dubrovnik kept its beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains.
It was devastated again in the 1990s by armed conflict, and as you walk the wall, new roofs constructed after the bombings that occurred mingle with rubble that still remains from them. A special photography exhibit in a corner of the wall showed the extent of the destruction and was a horrific depiction of what war can do.
In Dubrovnik, we stayed up on a hill, beyond the city walls in Apartments Dubčić, a pleasant room and bath that shared a common kitchen, washing machine, and rooftop clothesline overlooking the harbor. Our host pointed us toward Magellan Caffe Restaurant for dinner, and it was so good, we went back a second time. But most

often, we ate at whichever 10-footlong or shorter row of tables that we meandered through, up and down nearly all the side streets of Dubrovnik. The only way to tell you’d walked from one restaurant to another was the changing place settings, tablecloths, and menus. And though we weren’t recording our restaurant choices back then, we made no restaurant choices we regretted anywhere in Croatia.
Wandering in Dubrovnik, in a corner not far from the visitor center, we found jazz musicians and singers performing, so we stopped for drinks and enjoyed the music. At one point, we were cut off by a production crew from “Game of Thrones” setting up to film a new episode of the show. Further, on the steps of St. Lawrence, a bride and groom were exiting and tossing candy to the crowds below — one beaned me on the head, undoubtedly a sign of good luck. That luck was confirmed when we left Dubrovnik by the Adriatic Sea for a Katarina Line cruise of the Dalmatian Islands. On the web at olddogsnewtrips.com

The Tuckahoe School in Southampton celebrated their National Junior Honor Society Ceremony on June 1. Former Tuckahoe School graduate, Jake Marano, currently starting his senior year at Boston College, was the guest speaker at the event. The National Junior Honor Society members pictured left to right are: Jake Coyago, John Caulfield, Vanessa Martinez Solis, Analia Krieg, Ellen Hattrick, Carli Cameron, Hallie Beeker, Caroline Luss, Sophia Marano, CaraLynn Caulfield, Isabella Moschetta, and Patrick Matthews. These students have made a choice to demonstrate characteristics such as service, leadership, scholarship, citizenship, and character. These are the traits that the National Junior Honor Society holds dear. Membership into the honor society is a wonderful distinction, but along with the title comes a lot of responsibility. Peers continuously look to their fellow classmates for inspiration, and members must show their best at all times. Congratulations to the National Junior Honor Society 2017 inductees!

Stella & Ruby Hamptons is will be holding a Summer Pop-Up Shop through Labor Day, 2017, in East Hampton. The pop-up will feature the store’s trademark fun and fashionable children’s clothing. The shop is located at 79 Newtown Lane in East Hampton, next to Herrick Park, upstairs at the Golden Eagle. You can also visit their flagship store in Sag Harbor located at 144 Main Street. The student-initiated anti-bullying movement in Riverhead elementary schools was the idea of Morgan Dunn, a Roanoke Avenue Elementary School student in 2012 who was determined to stop bullying in school. Daniel Casamassa's third-grade class at Riley Avenue Elementary School recently added their voices to this important effort to stop bullying in school and everywhere. The students titled their presentation, “BULLYING – IT DOESN’T MAKE YOU COOL.” Using a number of elements to drive home their message, this group of students and their teacher added an impressive and sincere voice to the message endorsed by all our schools: Speak Up, Don’t be a Bystander, Forgive Others, Accept Others for their Differences, Include Others, Seek Help if you Need It, and We Can Make a Difference. The presentation concluded with an invitation for the audience to join the class and "make a difference" by taking steps to stop bullying in our schools and in the world.
The Children’s Museum of the East End invites you to join them as they prepare, plant, and water their sprouts in anticipation of the new growing season. The planting is Saturday from 10 AM to noon and is suitable for children of all ages. The Children's Museum of the East End is located at 376 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton.

faceless, was none other than the supervisor in all his glory. He denied, through an attorney, being the person pictured. The photo, a copy of which was obtained by The Independent, appears to be a selfie of a man lying on a bunk in a sailboat, a “Mariners” jacket nearby. The Farina matter aside, some parents were already disenchanted because of the backroom maneuvering that resulted in questionable decisions made, they say, without sufficient input from the public.
Lori Tutt, a parent who has frequently been at odds with the school board, said students are often used to justify controversial moves, as was the case when the board, a small segment of the public, and school officials wanted to remove Columbus Day from the calendar, which has now been done. “It goes back to the teachers. They hype it to students and get them fired up. Then the school board members say they are doing it for the kids,” Tutt said.
Things may be changing. Last month voters chose two new members to the school board, Jacqueline Foster Robinson (524 votes) and SunHe SherwoodDudley (446). The only incumbent running, Andy Brindle, finished a poor third (269).
“It’s just the beginning,” Pastor Havrilla said. “We have a coalition.
the Independent
We worked with different groups to produce this kind of win. This is about transparency and religious holidays.”
Havrilla said the board approved the minutes of the meeting the day the calendar changed without noting the agenda items, in essence violating its own bylaws.
School Superintendent Dr. Nicholas Dyno, asked to contribute to this article, sent a terse message through the district’s PR firm, Syntax: “The district is committed to transparency by way of their meetings and communications with the community, and is not in violation of any policies pertaining to school schedules,” it read.
Roberta Hunter, the school board president, and its vice president, Donald King, did not respond to a request for comments. And that is another rub, according to parents critical of the school administration -- law firms and public relation firms more and more often do the talking for school officials. Full Court Press The public was still reeling over the full court press the district used to try and push the Tuckahoe merger through when another controversial measure was unveiled. Two years ago the school board, with Farina’s urging, was set to sign on to the Extended Learning Time (ELT) grant program, which could have conceivably garnered $2.5 million in revenue. But parents who read the fine print said it would prove disastrous, mandating that

many students show up for class at 7:15 AM. A petition circulated to stop the board from signing on to ELT. By early last year Farina was in free-fall.
Bankruptcy filings obtained by this newspaper last July after his wife, Jill, filed for divorce showed he owed over $180,000 and listed the value of his personal belongings as $76,328, much of it a sailboat he had docked in East Hampton and was reportedly living on. Then his yacht was apparently lost in foreclosure according to court papers, leading to rumors he was virtually homeless.
“His dog was in the district office. A woman at the school was watching it,” Tutt said. “I know, she lives right down the block from me.” Farina pushed hard for a new administration building and identified a building at 300 Hampton Road as suitable for purchase – the asking price was $7.6 million. Once again, some community members balked, especially when it was revealed there was an apartment upstairs Farina had his eye on – to live in.
“It’s funny how they told us how desperately we needed a new building and now you don’t hear a word about it,” Tutt commented.
More potential scandals percolated just under the surface. One parent told The Independent there was talk about a grade-fixing incident involving an Advanced Placement Regents exam that went unreported. Several other sources had heard there was discontent among a faction of the teaching
631-287TOTS 631-287-TOTS
staff because Farina “played favorites.”
Last June the school board hired Jaspan Schlesinger LLP of Garden City to look into the allegations against Farina as what was widely considered a prelude to getting rid of him. It is a multi-purpose firm that has represented school districts in the past. Controversial Decision But even that decision proved to be controversial: Steven Schlesinger, a managing partner, was accused of funneling foundation funds to organizations in which he had a personal stake or interest including charities run by friends like former U.S. Senator Alfonse D'Amato and Long Island developer Gary Melius, the owner of Oheka Castle – who is recovering from a gunshot wound to the head fired by an unknown assailant. Farina stopped showing up for work last April 16 and it was later revealed his tenure was over. But displacing him proved to be an expensive proposition -- reportedly a $300,000 goodbye kiss. The terms of his termination agreement were not revealed. The Press News Group has since sued to compel the district to reveal them, forcing the district to hire another law firm. “They are like aristocrats. They think they can do anything they want,” Pastor Havrilla said. “It’s about transparency.”
The spending never ceases, Tutt complained. Recently the district hired someone to care for its school of clownfish housed in the science lab. The public was told the position would pay for itself because it intended to raise and sell clownfish. Tutt said so far the district has managed to sell $100 worth of fish. As for the 2017-2018 school calendar, even President’s Day has been removed. But Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 15, is noted. “It’s all about political correctness,” Havrilla said.
The Pastor is not to be trifled with. His church sued Southampton Town after it declared town hall a “bias-free zone” and broke up a peaceful demonstration staged by church constituents on the steps of town hall. The town lost the suit and had to pay the church $40,000. 52

Greenport Officer Receives Medal Of Valor
By Elizabeth Vespe
Warrant Officer Matthew Pacholk of Greenport was one of four men honored with the state’s highest military award of heroism, the Medal of Valor, this week. Pacholk is a UH-60 pilot who joined the New York Army National Guard in 2011 and deployed to Kuwait in 2012. In addition, he is a contact representative with the Internal Revenue Service. Pacholk was one of seven soldiers flying to Francis S. Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Westhampton Beach on February 26 when the pilots were notified that a plane, which had been performing practice landings, could not be seen and was not responding to radio calls. The flight crew immediately began a search and discovered the downed private aircraft in a nearby wooded area. After arriving at the scene, four members of the crew approached the burning aircraft, which was already engulfed in flames. They were able to rescue one of the three individuals aboard the plane. Efforts to rescue the other two passengers were unsuccessful.
On Monday Governor Andrew
“These brave New Yorkers went above and beyond the call of duty and embody the very best of the New York National Guard,” he said, adding, “I commend the entire crew for their quick actions and I am proud to see these exemplary servicemen and women receive this deserving honor.”
In addition to Warrant Officer Pacholk, three other soldiers who were part of the flight crew that day were recipients of the New York State Conspicuous Service Medal for their actions during the tragic incident. Others awarded the Medal of Valor include Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ronald Ramirez of the Bronx, Warrant Officer Christopher Hansen of Goshen, and Sgt. Yaanique Scott of Staten Island. The crew members who received the Conspicuous Service Medal were Chief Warrant Officer 3 Joseph McCarthy of Orangeburg, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Meghan Polis of East Patchogue, and Spc. Arlene Noschese of St. James.
The crew that crashed was comprised of soldiers in the Army National Guard’s 3rd Battalion, 142nd Aviation Regiment based at the Army Aviation Support Facility in Ronkonkoma. The crash still remains under investigation.

”If it wasn’t for their quick response, and that really heroic action in a burning airplane, we would have three fatalities instead of two,” National Transportation Safety Board lead investigator Dan Boggs explained.
Cuomo announced that the New York Army National Guard soldiers who saved the pilot had been awarded New York State Medal of Valor.

quality and natural resources of our communities," Governor Cuomo said. "While the federal government threatens to defund vital ocean research at a time when we need it most, New York is stepping up and investing resources to keep this cutting-edge research moving forward, improve water quality, support the local economy, and protect the health of current and future generations." New York State provides $400,000 per year to the NY Sea Grant. Some of NY Sea Grant's projects include:
• Administering the $1.28 million from EPA's Long Island Sound Study for examining the effects of nitrogen, red tide, and climate change on the Long Island Sound ecosystem
• Research to better understand how east coast storms and hurricanes will change in future decades due to climate change and sea level rise, including combining storm surge models to make more reliable forecasts • Initiation of New York’s first Seafood Summit in 2016, which examined strategic methods to improve the quality and safety of seafood and promote the industry

• Microsatellite analysis to evaluate stocks of summer flounder (fluke) • Studies regarding fish consumption to better understand potential exposure to hazardous substances such as mercury and bacterial toxins like Listeria • Studies of how paralytic fish toxin in algal blooms impact the productivity of hard and soft shell clams
Basil Seggos, the Department of Environmental Conservation commissioner, was among the passengers on the boat last Friday. He said, “New York is investing in sound science to address environmental threats like brown tide by getting at the factors that contribute to algae and threaten the health of our waters and ecosystems.” Assemblyman Fred Thiele agreed.

“The governor understands that protecting nature is not just right in itself; it is also critical to keeping our economy moving forward.
“On Long Island, many of our communities rely on the economic benefits of our unparalleled natural resources, from fishing and clamming to tourism and recreation. Since day one, Governor Cuomo has been a champion for the environment here on Long Island and across New York. With today’s actions to stem the brown tide, we are continuing to make progress to clean up our waters and protect our natural treasures.” For Esposito’s money, the best takeaway quote of the day, just one day after the president pulled out of the Paris accord, was when the governor emphasized, “The environment is not the enemy of the people.”

East End Real Estate Roundtable
By Laura Field

By Rick Murphy
Dick Cavett’s Montauk Estate, sitting oceanside atop one of the hamlet’s most formidable cliffs, is on the market.
The East Hampton Library’s “Tom Twomey Series” continues on Thursday June 15th, from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. with an East End Real Estate Roundtable. This informative panel discussion will feature three of the East End’s leading real estate brokers, Diane Saatchi: Saunders & Associates, Peter Turino: Brown Harris Stevens and John Gicking: Compass. They will look back at the last 20 years and the explosion of home and
land prices on the South Fork, look sideways at the health of the current market, and look forward to what the future is likely to bring. Learn about what younger and older buyers want today, the booming market for tear downs in prime locations, and helpful hints for listing your home for sale or rent. The event is moderated by Jim Oxnam from Brown Harris Stevens and hosted by Rick Gilbert. For more information call 631-3240222.
The original burnt to the ground 20 years ago but Cavett and his wife, Carrie Nye, vowed to rebuild and did so, making an exact duplicate of the original.
The house, dubbed “Tick Hall,” sits directly on the site of one of the original “Seven Sisters” built by Stanford White 135 years ago. They were collectively known as the Montauk Association.
Karen Kelley and Tim Davis of the Corcoran Group Real Estate have the listing. The asking price, $62 million, would make it the most expensive house ever sold in Montauk if a buyer is found.

Stan Glinka, a popular town board incumbent, will seek election. Thea Dombrowski-Fry, a political newbie, will also run for the board. The GOP will put former Southampton Town Trustee Ray Overton up against the incumbent Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, who is seeking a second term under the Independence and Democratic Party banners.
Hagan said the party committee wasn’t interested in playing politics. “I don’t subscribe to back room deals or wheeling and dealing,” he said in an interview after the slate was announced last week. “We

Racism creeps into our lives without warning. Bigots don’t get, or don’t want to get, that their hate speech hurts.
All the things people who think like Smith say immigrants don’t do, my family has done. We speak English, we pay taxes, we are citizens of the United States of America, we have jobs, we have assimilated to American culture in every way. That night after I left Smith’s, I went to a ceremony at East Hampton High School where I was awarded the Kathleen Vinski scholarship. I won the scholarship for my essay about using my career to give voice to people often left unheard. Twice I have been invited to speak to the board of education as an example of the success of EHHS’s school-to-work program.
Valerie Smith’s true feeling about Hispanics showed me there is still a lot of work to be done.
Although I’m an intern for The Independent, I knew nothing about Valerie Smith at the time of our meeting. (And, yes, Kitty Merrill, my boss and mentor, scolded me for not staying abreast of local news.) I walked into her house completely unprepared for what unfolded. To me she was a person looking for videographer and blogger. To her I was just another illegal immigrant.
I left her house and sat in my hot car in disbelief, in shock, crying and heartsick. The ignorance and hate 60

want what’s best for the town.”
The selection of Dombrowski-Fry, a Water Mill native, was an easy one, Hagan said. “Thea know and loves the community.” Schneiderman is a proven vote getter. In fact, he has never lost an election. He served as East Hampton Town Supervisor for two terms, and on the Suffolk Legislature for four. He was elected Southampton Town Supervisor two years ago. Glinka and Thea DombrowskiFry join the incumbent Democrat Julie Lofstad, who also has the Independence Party endorsement, and her running mate Tommy John Schiavoni, the vice president of the

Sag Harbor School, on the ballot. The top two finishers will gain seats on the town board. The five-seat Town Trustees Board will also be chosen on Election Day. Bill Pell, an Independence Party member and Tuckahoe resident, has the endorsement of both major parties. Edward Warner Jr., Scott Horowitz, Don Law and Bruce Stafford round out the GOP slate. Gary Glantz and Camden Ackerman will run on the Democratic Party ballot, and two more candidates will be chosen shortly.
Town Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor, a two-term incumbent has the Independence and Democratic Party lines. Lance Aldrich, a former department manager, earned the GOP nod. Southampton Town Clerk Sundy Schermeyer will run unopposed for reelection as will Town Justices Deborah Kooperstein and Barbara Wilson.
Glinka is interviewed elsewhere in this issue. The Independent will profile all of the town board candidates in upcoming interviews.
that Smith displayed was unlike anything I have ever experienced.
I am only left with one question: When will this end? Will this end for second-generation immigrants like me, or third, or fourth, or fifth? What struck me was that bigotry doesn’t just target migrant farm workers or day laborers or disheveled men hanging around at train stations and convenience stores hoping for work. Kids like me, for whom the United States is the only home we’ve ever known, are targets of hate too.
We don’t have blonde hair and blue eyes, but we love this country and want to contribute to society in a positive way. To Valerie Smith and many others, we are nothing more than “illegals” to stereotype, deride, bully, and hate.
Over and over she said, “You’re not special” to me. She insisted she’d been through tough times in her life. Maybe those tough times are what made her this way. Maybe she learned to hate during a tough time. But I believe what Nelson Mandela said: “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin . . . People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.”

Hometown Heroes
As part of its Hometown Heroes initiative, the Westhampton Free Library paid tribute to four veterans at a ceremony at VFW Post 5350 on May 25.
During the posthumous ceremony, the service and sacrifices of Arma “Ham” Andon, William “Bud” Kavan, Ben Larson and Frank Matthews were recognized. Their family members were presented with American flags that was flown over the library during the month of May.
Pictured left to right are John Larson, Ben Larson’s son; Danielle Waskiewicz, Westhampton Free Library director; Sally Kavan, William “Bud” Kavan’s daughter; Jay Janowski, Westhampton Free Library head of reference; Holly Hubard, daughter of Ben Larson; Mary Anne Yutes, Westhampton Free Library trustee; William Hughes, VFW Post 5350 commander; and Sundy Schermeyer, granddaughter of Arma “Ham” Andon.
Campaign Kickoff
I’m still young, so hope is my nature.
On Sunday the East Hampton Democrats will celebrate the kickoff of their 2017 campaign for local town offices.
Youth helps me hope Valerie Smith can learn to love.
Harbor Bistro is located at 313 Three Mile Harbor Road.
Optimism about the future for our country and our people is my nature.
Join them at Harbor Bistro in Springs from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. for hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets can be bought in advance for $40 online at EHDems.com, or at the door for $50 dollars.

Honoring Heroes
This week’s Indy offers an abundance of coverage of local heroes – the story of a Hampton Bays vet, news about a Greenport resident receiving the Medal of Valor, and a local library’s commitment to celebrating heroes.
June 7 2017
Insight
This week also offers another opportunity to honor another brand of heroes – the volunteers who man (and woman) local ambulances and EMS teams. It’s EMS week, so named by President Gerald Ford in 1978 to acknowledge the efforts of paramedics, critical care medics, and communications specialists.
In recognition of the event, Northwell Health in New Hyde Park hosted a “Second Chance Luncheon” last week, bringing together patients whose lives were saved by pre-hospital care providers. Patients and their loved ones had a chance to thank the emergency responders who saved them.
In many cases, patients don’t get to meet or ever see the selfless volunteers who revive them, transport them to the ER, performing lifesaving treatment in the ambulance – or medevac – on the way. The vital connection between patient and rescuer ends at the ER. We love the idea of bringing responders and patients together. There may be no more important citizens in our community than the emergency responders willing to leave their jobs, leave their own families, leave their leisure, and leave their beds at the drop of a hat to serve us … and even save us. Northwell’s got a great idea. It’s one that needs to grow. We’d love to see patients locally have the chance to meet the people who saved their lives and simply say “thank you.” How can we make that happen?
was wonderful and kind.
Thanks, Folks To The Editor,
I just want to thank the folks at The Independent for their support following my recent injury. Your coverage of the fundraising efforts were key to their success and I wish to thank you for that support. I also want to once again thank the lovely Kitty Merrill for writing about me so nicely. Her recent Heroes piece
May I also say that I love the new look of the paper? I particularly like the timeline of events at the page bottoms. Anyway, thanks again.

Honoring The Accord Dear Editor,
Are you, too, fighting mad about Trump pulling the US out of the
Ed Gifford Paris climate accord? Then let's fight back three times a day by adopting an eco-friendly plantbased diet. Yes, our diet is pivotal. A 2010
United Nations report blames animal agriculture for 19 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, 38 percent of land use, and 70 percent Continued On Page 62. © Karen Fredericks
Is it just me?
I should have worn earplugs. Studies have shown that shoppers buy more items when there’s sad music playing in the background. It’s as if we think filling our shopping carts with things can fill the empty hole in our hearts.

JUST ASKING
By Karen Fredericks
What do you think of our Exit from the Paris Accord? Phillip Freedman It was a real disservice to us. I feel we don’t do enough for our environment. There’s not enough encouragement for people to get out of their cars and ride bicycles, to bring reusable bags when shopping. We’ll make some kind of horrible artificial island out of the plastic bags we use.
Carbon dioxide is emitted by burning forests to create animal pastures and by fossil fuels combustion to operate farm machinery, trucks, factory farms, and slaughterhouses. The more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are released from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively.
Dr. Janet Geller It was the worst decision that could have been made. We’re getting plenty of warning that climate change is real. Scientists say it’s real. It’s amazing so many countries have joined in this effort and this person who we elected doesn’t think we should be concerned about it.
In an environmentally sustainable world, meat and dairy products in our diet must be replaced by vegetables, fruits, and grains, just as fossil fuels are replaced by wind, solar, and other pollution-free energy sources.
Rhonda Levy I think it’s a very scary decision. Climate change is a real issue and a real danger. And I certainly don’t think we should be alienating the rest of the world. And denying it is just incredibly stupid.
Each of us has the power to protest Trump's failure to maintain America's leadership in moderating climate change, simply and effectively, by what we choose at the grocery store.
Steve Singer I have no words to describe my feelings about the disgusting behavior of this president and his choices. I’m speechless. It would be fair to say that I’m completely horrified. I fear for our future.
EDWIN HORATH
Russians Tampered Dear Editor,
The damage has been done. We had installed a blackguard in the White House. Although we cannot reverse the process, we can begin to somewhat erase that historic black blemish on our country's history. Think 2018.
First and foremost, one thing must be made perfectly clear. The fact is that Russia does not want what is best for our country; and in truth our country concerning Russia's good fortune is reciprocal. Only those having a Rip Van snooze since WWII would deny that. Ergo, any tampering by the Russians with America's Presidential election would be negative to what would be best for our county's stability, strength, and growth. There is by now no doubt but that the Russians tampered with our Presidential elections to the benefit of Trump and his team while contrarily denigrating that of Secretary Hillary Clinton. Only those diehards which make up Trump's base continue to champion him, although somewhat fewer each passing day (except those who would still be with him if he stood on Fifth Avenue and shot somebody).
And it's not only that that base has been as proven to be the least educated; they are also primarily too embarrassed to admit that they were a bamboozled. Wait till they realize that they and their poor-est States will suffer the most-est.
Well, Russia and Trump buddy Putin succeeded. They managed nefariously to have installed in our White House far and away the least qualified person, a fact that is being repeatedly proven with each passing day, and who is most detrimental to our country's future.
presidency because her gender is wrong, it was because she was not the right candidate, this is her new blame.
Also in her speech she recalled Nixon was impeached. Wrong Hillary, Nixon resigned in disgrace but guess who was impeached? It was none other than Bill Clinton for lying to Congress. Go back into the woods and get some history lessons. Please stay in the woods. BEA DERRICO
Manchester
Russia won and America plus the three million majority of American voters for Secretary Hillary as President, lost.
Dear Editor,
Again … Think 2018.
We should come away from Manchester with a renewed determination to destroy the Islamic State caliphate in Syria and Iraq, and to deny them a safe haven anywhere in the world.
As Chester of “The Life Of Riley” would say, "What a revolting development this is."

Flag Flies For David Griffin
In its mission to take history out of the textbooks by honoring a local veteran each month of the school year, the Hampton Bays School District paid tribute to Vietnam veteran David Griffin by flying an American flag in his honor through the month of May. “The district is proud to honor Mr. Griffin for his bravery and service to the United States,” said Superintendent of Schools Lars Clemensen.
Griffin was honored at a ceremony held May 26 at Hampton Bays Elementary School. During the event, select musicians from the Class of 2017 performed; high school student Ava Bianchi sang “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and high school senior Dylan Durand, who will be entering the military upon graduation, introduced Griffin by reading his biography. Also, public officials, including Southampton Supervisor Jay Schneiderman and Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming spoke in Griffin’s honor. The ceremony concluded with the raising of the American flag.
Parris Island in Beaufort, South Carolina. When he completed boot camp, he was trained as a sniper.
After graduation and another 30 days’ leave, Griffin returned to duty and boarded a troop ship to Vietnam. He was assigned to sniper duty and spent three days at a time in the jungle waiting to ambush enemy forces. Seven other Marines also went out three days at a time. In 1966, he was wounded and awarded his first Purple Heart. He returned to the U.S. and then

If you can’t remember the last time your duct/vents were cleaned, you are probably overdue.
Griffin was born in 1942 at Southampton Hospital. He and his parents lived on his grandparents’ farm in Bridgehampton until his parents bought a house in North Sea in 1947. Griffin graduated from Southampton High School in 1961. After high school, he worked for Ernest Julke as a carpenter. He held a variety of jobs and in early 1963 he met his wife, Paulette, in Montauk. She was tending bar at Gurney’s and Griffin was driving a cement truck for Bistrian Cement Contractors in East Hampton.
They married in 1963 and their first child, Linda, was born in 1964. In 1965, Mr. Griffin received his draft notice for induction into the U.S. Army. He took a bus from Smithtown to Whitehall Street, the Armed Forces Induction Center, in lower Manhattan. Griffin was offered the choice of joining the Army or the Marine Corps and he chose the Marines. He went home for 30 days before reporting for duty. He was sent to Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina for in-processing. From there, he was sent to boot camp at

Sports & Fitness Settlers Fall In Regional Finals
Southold baseball fans will remember the magical 2017 season for a long time, especially the team’s breathtaking 20 game win streak to start the season. But as rich as the memories are, Saturday’s 2-1 loss to North Salem will be a painful one to endure.
The winner advanced to the New York State Class C Championships this weekend, and the feeling around the state was the two best teams were playing on this day at St. Joseph’s in Patchogue. Southold sent Luke Hansen, the big lefty who has emerged as perhaps the most talented of its three-headed starting pitching monster, to the hill. North Salem, the defending state champ, sent
out Connor Mahoney, another lefthander with overwhelming stuff. Hansen was throwing heat, but the visitors got to him for a run on two hits in the third inning. The locals responded the next inning: Dylan Clausen, a Player Of The Year candidate, drilled a leadoff triple and scored when Doug Fiedler singled softly to left.
around on Hansen’s throwing error. That was it.
Mahoney, who smelled a berth in the Final Four, reached back for something extra and shut the door on Southold. He allowed just six hits on the day and struck out 12 to earn the victory. Hansen allowed seven hits and struck out 10. It was his first defeat of the season.
Southold baseball fans will remember the magical 2017 season.
Then the two lefties got down to business, trading zeroes and racking up strikeouts. In the seventh inning the Tigers’ Nate Carminucci reached first and came
The good news is Southold is the Long Island Class Champion after pounding East Rockaway Thursday, 13-5.
The Rocks actually accomplished something no other opponent has this season: scored five times against the Settlers vaunted pitching staff.
But the Settlers staged an offensive fireworks display to quell the challengers early. Hansen and Pat McFarland were the two main catalysts as the locals scored repeatedly in each of the first three innings.
Clausen, on the bump, didn’t have his best stuff but managed to record nine strikeouts while giving up the five runs in six-plus innings.
Hansen went 3 for 3 with two runs batted in to lead a balanced attack. The game was played at SUNY-Old Westbury. Southold finished with a 23-2 mark.

Mattituck Headed For The Show
By Rick Murphy
The Mattituck baseball team had a singular goal all season: a state championship.
But it seemed like a fading dream on Saturday at Cantine Memorial Field in Saugerties as the Tuckers struggled to get even one hit against a strong and determined Rondout Valley squad. The Ganders’ Branch Cranfield, a tall, lean righthander with three superior pitches, was cruising as the game entered the sixth inning, hurling a no-hitter and nursing a 1-0 lead. The resolve on the Mattituck bench was palpable – after all, the Tuckers have come from behind more than a few times this season.
Then, a crack in Cranfield’s armor: Joe Lisowy drew a walk. Ryan McCaffrey followed with the Tuckers’ first hit, a single. Two batters later Bryce Grathwohl, the Tuckers’ pitcher, helped his own cause by plating two runs on a single. A third run scored on an errant throw.
Grathwohl buckled down, getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the inning, but the resilient Ganders fought back yet again in the seventh. After Lisoway sliced a single to score two runs in the top of the inning, Rondout Valley

put two runners on board with one out. The Tuckers’ coach Steve DeCaro went to the pen, bringing in Kevin Mahon, who allowed a base runner to score before inducing a ground out to end the game. The locals will play Livonia Friday in Binghamton. The two teams squared off for the State Class B title in 2015 and Mattituck prevailed. Lacrosse Team The baseball team isn’t the only Mattituck squad heading to the state tournament.
The Mattituck/Southold Lady Tuckers won the Long Island Class D title Sunday at Adelphia by overwhelming Carle Place 15-5. The Tuckers (14-4) will play Friday against Bronxville in a state semifinal at SUNY/ Cortland.
The locals took a 4-2 lead and then reeled off nine straight goals to take whatever suspense there was out of the fray. Mackenzie Hoeg did much of the damage, netting three goals and assisting on four others. Francesca Vasile-Cozzo and Riley Hoeg also scored three times each and Jane DiGregorio netted two. Rachel Janis, Chelsea Marlborough, Ashley Burns and Maddie Schmidt also scored for the winners.

the body into a fight or flight response … in a very controlled environment,” Fenster described. “You need a certain amount [of sessions] to get to a certain level… [the recommended amount is] 10 times in a month, then one every other week or twice a week.”
As I put on my robe and fuzzy slippers, along with protective eye wear, I laid down for my 12-minute facial rejuvenation session. A cold, swift motion of nitrogen swept across my face and neck, a nice change from the warm air outside. Once that was completed it was time for my full body cryotherapy. As I disrobed, only keeping on my intimates and slippers, I placed mittens on my hands and entered the -250 degrees Fahrenheit chamber. The gaseous chill, the appearance of dry ice, filled up the tube, exposing only my face above the surface. Thirty seconds. No problem. A minute. Okay this is tough. At about a minute and a half my legs began to tingle, a sensation
completely normal and expected. By the time my three minutes were up, I was relieved to be back in room temperature. Minus the hint of being light headed for a moment, the next day the pain I had from working out the days’ prior was gone. While I know I’d have to frequent more often to get the full benefits, the experience was tolerable and I’d certainly return. After all, can you think of an easier way to burn hundreds of calories in three minutes? Managing partner Geney Kim expects a good season ahead. “People that are active need this… and it’s great for people who travel back and forth because they have the option to use both locations.”
Cool Zone Cryo will be open Friday through Sunday in June and Thursday through Monday, July to September.

The coolest way to burn calories and speed up your metabolism has arrived in Water Mill. Cool Zone Cryo, located on 760 Montauk Highway, is a whole-body and facial rejuvenation cryotherapy facility. With a grand opening over Memorial Day weekend, this is the second wellness facility for Dr. Daniel Fenster, who also runs a holistic wellness center in Manhattan on 30 East 60th St. and Park Avenue. Fenster owns a family house in
Mattituck and decided to help his clients and the East End community through the magnitude of benefits cryotherapy has to offer.
Cryotherapy is anti-inflammatory and can result in mood elevation, stronger immunity, tightening of the skin, better sleep, reduction in soreness and even weight loss (an average 500 to 800 calories are burned over the course of a day). The benefits far outweigh the bitter cold to achieve them. “One of the effects is that it shocks

yourself also having to stop dealing with the emergency at hand so that you can direct crew to emergency equipment that will protect them and you from the effects of that emergency?
• The extra life jackets (We must have ours on at all times, which is an EXCELLENT idea, skipper);
Starts To Crack
This includes, among many items, the locations of:
• The medical kit (Make sure that none of the perishable supplies have in fact perished due to the passage of time); • The “visual distress signals,” i.e., flares (Check that they have not expired and are serviceable);
• The boat hook – a good tool for extending for retrieving something – or someone – that may be just out of reach; • The Man Overboard “apparatus,” -- line and ring to throw to someone who has indeed fallen overboard; • And fire extinguishers.
This list is by no means exhaustive but it represents some of the major categories of tools to handle potential disaster that may befall a skipper. While you are dealing with the boat and how it needs to be used to respond to the emergency, your crew can be dealing with the crew’s response.
Whether it be a grounding, or far worse, a vessel sinking, you as the skipper have a lot on your mind and a lot to deal with. Can you imagine
Everyone has a pressure point beyond which they start to crack. What do you do if the crew can’t handle the pressure as well as you are handling it? Well, how about handing them a laminated layout of your boat with the location of all the equipment labeled?
Seriously, of all the risks that you spend time and money in preparing for and against, have you thought about panic as a risk? What then? “Honey, hey, enough! Here, look at this – right now – and go get everybody in life jackets. Now!”
It is likely to reduce the panic because now the crew has something to focus on other than the water sloshing on the floor boards.
Oh, remember the comment about a (free) vessel exam at the start of this column? If you want one, email me below.
BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources Department, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing.”
