CE Peddles Bike Share Program

By Kitty Merrill

Efforts to relieve unremitting congestion on Long Island roadways often include expanding train service and encouraging the use of bicycles. With the announcement of a countywide bike share program County Executive Steve Bellone marries the two strategies. Designed to boost tourism while reducing gridlock, the first-of-itskind program in Suffolk would provide last mile connectivity from train stations to downtowns. “We view bike-sharing as a winwin that provides greater tourism and economic development while providing a healthy alternative that ultimately reduces automobile emissions,” the county executive said. “This latest initiative ensures that Suffolk County remains a leader in embracing cutting-edge transportation alternatives that better connect residents to our vibrant downtowns.”

In addition, a bike share system will have a positive impact on the local economy by increasing tourism and improving transportation access for residents and visitors alike, the CE pointed out. The program will be a key component of Bellone’s “Connect Long Island” regional transportation and economic development plan.

To start the process of crafting the bike share, the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning issued a Request for Information to gather best practices, cost estimates, and keys to implementation and operation of such a program.

Theresa Ward, Deputy County Executive and Commissioner of the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning said, “As a preview user and one of the earliest members of Citibike in NYC, I know firsthand how important bike share is for improving local mobility. I am pleased that Suffolk County is taking this important step toward a countywide bike share system.”

bike share network could offer economic, recreational, and transit benefits. These include:

· Extending the reach of the transit network by providing last-mile connectivity between transit stops and popular destinations · Supporting a ‘park once’ approach for cars where appropriate

“This is an idea whose time has come,” South Fork Legislator Bridget Fleming enthused. “We just have to figure out how to make it work in our unique environment.” Fleming noted the East End has “very, very serious transportation needs;” three bus routes were recently cut due to budgetary constraints. Officials believe a wide-ranging

· Decreasing the use of the automobile as the primary mode of transportation · Encouraging a more active lifestyle and providing bicycles for intermittent recreational use · Establishing a stronger bicycle network in Suffolk County, complete with new bike lanes and supporting infrastructure. In Suffolk County, many downtowns, train stations, and

recreational assets such as parks and waterfronts are separated from each other by a distance that makes walkability extremely difficult. A well-targeted bike share program will help overcome these distances for many users and reduce the number of automobile trips taken as a result. A regional bike share program is viewed as the latest step in an effort to increase the interconnectivity of downtowns, employment centers, major institutions, and other assets via alternative modes of transportation, while further supporting the Suffolk County Connect Long Island vision. Those interested in submitting responses to the RFI must do so electronically to jonathan.keyes@ suffolkcountyny.gov by July 13 at 3:30 PM.

During the ceremony, held at the Westhampton VFW Hall and attended by fellow veterans, library representatives, and public officials, Lodato was presented with a proclamation from Senator Ken LaValle and Congressmen Lee Zeldin. An American flag was flown over the library in the judge’s honor.

Lodato went on to serve on the bench in 1975. He also served on the board of the NYU Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn and as interim president. To thank Judge Lodato for his service to the country and community, the Westhampton

Judge Dominic Lodato’s father served in the Navy in World War I. Following in his father’s footsteps, he enlisted in the Navy right after he graduated Boys High School in Brooklyn in 1943. He was only 17. He was sent to Newport, Rhode Island, for basic training and was soon accepted into Quartermaster School at the Newport Naval Base where he studied navigation, signaling, and map reading.

He then volunteered for serving with the Motor Torpedo boats and was assigned to Squadron 34 and shipped overseas.

Lodato spent nine days on a large troop ship, carrying 4000 soldiers, that zigzagged across the ocean for fear of a U-Boat attack. He was then assigned to PT Boat 507,

part of the Squadron 34, which consisted of 12 PT boats.

Lodato arrived in Normandy after D-Day in July 1944. The area was still buzzing with activity and the job of the PT boats was to keep the German E-boats away.

When the Germans surrendered, Lodato was sent back to the base in Melville. He was then shipped to Charleston, Massachusetts, where he trained Merchant Marines seamen to read charts and identify the locations of minefields.

After the Navy, he came home and furthered his education. He attended Siena College and graduated in 1950 with a bachelor of art in sociology, a pre-law degree. He graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 1953 and set out to practice law. He served as a trial

Whale Washes Ashore

Shark bites on the carcass were evident, and necropsy was performed Saturday afternoon by personnel from the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society.

It’s likely the shark bites were post mortem, according to published accounts. Other traumatic injuries found by scientists on the scene could have been the cause of death. Results of the necropsy, available within several weeks, may solve the mystery.

Seen floating offshore for several days, a female fin whale, about 40 to 50 feet in length, washed ashore near Peters Pond Lane in Sagaponack last Friday night.

Fin whales are federally-protected animals, a factor that led to a clearing of the beach by US Fish and Wildlife officers. People need to stay 150-feet away from

The carcass was buried on Gibson Beach.

Just a week earlier, the decomposing carcass of a female humpback whale washed ashore in Quogue, also a possible victim of traumatic injury.

EPCAL Deal May Be Falling Apart Development grant, and $5 million worth of tax incentives.

Luminati Aerospace assembled a dream team of scientists and engineers and plans to become “a major force in the aerospace industry.”

But its goal to provide wireless internet to the entire globe, and to base its operation in Riverhead, is looking more and more like it’s not going to happen.

In April the company announced plans to buy 2300 more acres of the property, located at Enterprise Park in Calverton (EPCAL).

It started off with a bang. Luminati purchased Skydive Long Island on 16 acres of the former Grumman site. The company tapped into a $2 million NY State Economic

Luminati’s stated mission: Produce solar-and wind-powered unmanned aircraft capable of perpetual flight at 60,000 feet. The stated goal was to use the aircraft to provide high-speed internet connection all over the world, specifically to places unable to access the internet because of geographical constraints. But the whispers and rumors heard since April have gotten

louder. Some, if not many, of the employees listed on the company’s website were not associated with the firm according to published reports. Doubts about the company’s finances and its founder, Dan Preston, have caused some Riverhead Town Board members – and candidates in the upcoming election – to have second thoughts.

But much of the touted talent signed on by Luminati has apparently jumped ship, according to Riverhead Local, and Luminati is now in trouble with the town.

Dream Team In 2015 Luminati purchased Skydive and 16.3 acres for $3.4 million. Preston held court for the press, outlining his future goals and comparing his company to a Silicon Valley startup decades ago – on the

The candidates outlined a series of missteps by Luminati during the approval process needed to expand the so-called Plant Six building on site, including a stop work order issued last December. There are also “several deficiencies”reported which occurred during the renovation of the Skydive facility, when alterations had been done without proper permits.

aircraft to provide access to the web to the great unwashed masses in Third World countries.

There is also the matter of what exactly Luminati intends to do in the future beyond providing internet services. Some of the listed members of its board have former ties to the military and some to covert intelligence operations.

“It is apparent that town board members are not communicating on this issue nor have they done their due diligence to research projects. This is another example of our dysfunctional town board,” stated Lynch.

Another planned Luminati future project, building a small recreational aircraft designed by Sea Max, would also seem feasible without the presence of military and surveillance professionals on the board of directors.

“The continued omission and misleading information provided by the current supervisor has caused an erosion of the public trust,” JensSmith said. “The supervisor and town board have a fiduciary duty to the residents of Riverhead.”

In April, it was discovered that key members of the dream team, including senior scientist Dr. Anthony Calise and Luminati cofounder Stefan Maier, had resigned.

Herbert Lee Buchanan was Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Clinton. Gene Colabatistto was a senior vice president in the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Group at Science Applications International Corporation.

General David A. Deptula is a retired US Air Force three-star general and former first Deputy Chief of Staff for ISR. According to the Luminati website, he was responsible for “planning, evaluation, oversight, and leadership of Air Force intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.” In Afghanistan Jeffrey K. Harris is another board member, at least according to the Luminati website. He is, according to his biography, the former director of the National

On the surface, it appears to be overkill for a company that intends to build ultra-light unmanned

Preston is under fire as more information is unveiled that casts doubt on the validity and viability of his operation, at least in its stated form. Facebook, once said to be a sponsor and financial backer, is not, according to Town Supervisor Sean Walter. Preston debuted a prototype of the Sea Max last June in Calverton and said he was ready to begin mass production. But officials of a German company, PC-Aero, said the prototype was actually designed and built by their company. Preston’s finances, and his credentials, have also been publicly questioned of late.

and he joins Kevin Spacey, Jerry Lewis, Bill Maher, Jackie Mason, Rosie O’Donnell, and so many others whose “I’m a nice person” act is just that, an act.

by Jerry Della Femina

Can You Believe That Pig Bill Cosby He’s announced he is going to tour the nation, giving lectures to young people and married men about the dangers of sex-crime allegations. This takes balls of steel.

It’s the equivalent of OJ Simpson, after a jury of idiots found him innocent of butchering his wife, announcing he would embark on a lecture tour, showing men how to free themselves from a troubled marriage without resorting to divorce.

This is the second Bill Cosby miracle in the last two weeks. Remember during his trial he did his Stevie Wonder act, pretending he was almost blind – so much so that he had to be led in and out of the courtroom, bent over, holding on to the shoulders of his lawyers.

Cosby, eyes closed, had everything but a seeing-eye dog and a cane. Well, through some miracle, he can see again and is walking around without any assistance. Turns out the only people who had eye problems were the gullible jury who had the wool pulled over their eyes. I still can’t get over the first Cosby miracle, where the deadlocked dumb jury in Pennsylvania let Cosby walk.

The jury should have known that the man they let off was not Dr. Cliff Huxtable, the wonderful father from “The Bill Cosby Show.” Nor was it the sweet, funny Bill Cosby who sold us a ton of Jell-O.

Cosby was never the man he pretended to be. Many who know him have said he is edgy and nasty,

I believe the man that the deadlocked jury let off was a sexual predator who drugged and molested over 60 women. He allegedly fed them a couple of Quaaludes to “relax” them. He was accused of waiting until they were unconscious and then raping them.

What he got out of allegedly defiling women in this disgusting way is a mystery to every decent person, except to the jury that failed to convict him. This was as close to necrophilia as one can get. Bill Cosby is the kind of guy that gives necrophilia a bad name. This wasn’t an innocent “Won’t you have another glass of wine?” or “Let’s smoke a joint” scenario, which has been part of the seduction process both men and women have used since the beginning of time.

This was on the kinky side of the street. This was finding a substance that would leave a woman helpless to resist. For years there were rumors about special combinations which would “drive women mad with desire.” In the musical Chicago, the song “All That Jazz” has the line, “I bought some aspirin down at United

Drug.” This refers to the rumor of the 1920s and ’30s that the combination of aspirin and CocaCola was an aphrodisiac, leading to wild sexual behavior.

In fact, all the combination did was sell a lot of Bayer Aspirin, and it made Coke the leading soft drink. Perhaps that’s where the slogan “Things Go Better With Coke” came from. Another sexual enhancer that I heard about in my youth was “Spanish fly,” which has a persistent reputation as a powerful aphrodisiac and a way to seduce.

It was a mystery drug. No one in my neighborhood knew what it was. No one knew what it looked like, but everyone had heard the apocryphal story of a guy who gave a girl some Spanish fly and she became insatiable. I never heard the opposite story, where a woman put Spanish fly into a man’s drink and he went off the deep end. Turns out that Spanish fly, according to Google (which didn’t exist when I was young), is Cantharidin, an odorless, colorless terpenoid secreted by many species of blister beetles. It’s a compound secreted by the Spanish fly, historically used in medication and as an aphrodisiac.

One little problem: It’s a poison, and a young man named Arthur Kendrick Ford was convicted and given a multiyear prison sentence for the unintended deaths of two women he had surreptitiously given coconut candies laced with Spanish fly. So instead of the threesome he was looking for, Arthur Kendrick Ford got 94 years in jail, where he now faces a lifetime of threesomes and twosomes with guys named Jumbo and Two Ton and Bigger-Than-Big Al. Which brings me to my one sure thing for great sex between consenting adults:

Lesson For A Sun Of Erin The Irish were not designed for the sun.

I learned this as a boy on the sands of Coney Island where the first generation American skin that I inherited from my Irish immigrant parents bubbled like pancake batter. The unbearable childhood pain has cautioned me a lifetime about Irish skin in the sun. I thought of this recently as temperatures soared beyond the 90s and the sun blazed in an East End sky. I thought especially of a cousin from Belfast -- call him Sean -who came to New York on holiday 30-odd summers ago. That year my older brother had rented a house facing the sea on Dune Road with a glorious large deck that was like an altar to Ra, the sun god. Sean had come for

a respite from the British-armyoccupied streets of West Belfast, escaping from the drizzly barbed wire barricades, the daily rumble of Semtex bombs, the nightly rattle of automatic gunfire. Even in summer, life in Belfast during The Troubles was mostly spent indoors in squashed corporation housing living rooms, dark whispery pubs, or smaller jail cells.

“You look like an Irish sausage under a broiler,” I said. “Put on sunblock, cuz.”

“Och, I’ll be grand,” he said, opening his beer. “Go do your bit a business. I’ll be right as rain here in the sun. A little color when we go out tonight, yeah?” I drove to Sag Harbor to meet with a book editor. We spent the afternoon editing, indoors.

“Careful,” I said. “Irish skin and Hamptons sun go together like a rebel song in a British army barracks.” “Och, I’ve never had sunburn in me life,” he said.

When I returned to the beach house four hours later, Sean snored on the chaise. In the sun. Four empty Heineken bottles beside him. He looked like a baked ham. The ambulance arrived a half-hour later.

Sean spent the next four days in Southampton Hospital with sun poisoning, blistered from eyelids to the soles of his big Irish feet. When I visited him his face was as swollen as one of those Cabbage Patch Dolls that were all the rage.

“That’s because you live in Belfast where they have all four seasons “You got a wee bit a color, all right,” every day,” I said. “You never had sun like here in The Hamptons.” I said. “I woke up terrified I was gowna “Och, it’s only lovely and grand die,” Sean whispered through and I fancy a wee bit of color to crisped lips. “Ten minutes later I catch the eye of the birds back was terrified I wasn’t gowna.” home,” said Sean, strolling onto the sundeck, removing his shirt.

An Offer The District Can’t Refuse?

facility on Cedar Street replete with two offices, three restrooms, and a lounge for the drivers. There are plans for a bus fueling area with a 2000-gallon aboveground diesel tank and dispenser.

By Rick Murphy

The East Hampton School District has received an offer it may not be able to refuse: cash, and lots of it. The district wants to build a bus depot on its property on Cedar Street but neighbors say it will cause traffic jams, disrupt their quality of life, and endanger water wells.

Those opposing the project have urged the school district to purchase a parcel of land owned by East Hampton Town on Springs Fireplace Road. So far, the two sides have failed to agree on a price during a lengthy negotiation process, which has frustrated East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell.

This week The Independent has learned the neighbors are prepared to make formal an enticing offer the school district will be hardpressed to turn down: they will put up the money the district needs to complete the land purchase, said a source with detailed information on the matter. “We are talking serious money. They could put up the entire purchase price.” Such largesse would, of course, force the school district to concede that the holdup in the deal is not money related, which it has implied repeatedly. Neighbors are concerned the district is dead-set on the original Cedar Street project and is simply appeasing them by feigning interest in the Springs Fireplace Road property. “I’m not going to comment on my negotiations with the school

district,” Cantwell said, though he acknowledged he was not aware the neighbors have offered to kick in money to make the deal happen. “Then it would become a threeparty negotiation,” Cantwell noted. The supervisor, though, has made no secret of the fact that the snail’s pace negotiating tactic being used by the school district is frustrating the town, which wants to sell the parcel on the open market if need be. “The ball is in the hands of the school board,” he said this week. JP Foster, the president of the school board, said the pace of negotiations is consistent with the mandates in place. For example, the board must conduct an environmental review on the Springs Fireplace Road site and ultimately prepare a package that will go before voters. “No one has called us with an offer,” Foster said this week. “If anyone is interested in giving us money, I’ll listen.”

Foster said that a while back the neighbors offered to buy the development rights to the Cedar

Street property. “I’m not even sure that is legal,” he said. “Besides, it’s not for me to handcuff school boards 20 or 40 years from now who might want to put a playing field there or something.” The district wants to construct a 10,772-square-foot maintenance

Schiavoni Looks For New Challenge

By Rick Murphy

“There is a lot of work involved in bringing an apartment up to code.” Schiavoni is suggesting the town undertake a loan program to help convert single-family houses.

Running for Southampton Town Board represents a logical progression of community service for Tommy Lee Schiavoni. After all, he’s served on the North Haven Zoning Board of Appeals, and is currently on the Southampton Town ZBA as well as the Sag Harbor School Board.

Southampton has seen a significant upheaval in the police force; a number of police chiefs have come and gone after relatively short stints at the helm. “We’re looking forward to stability to move the community forward,” Schiavoni said.

He is passionate about quality of life issues, particularly water quality. His knowledge is firmly fixed -- the Schiavonis of Sag Harbor, three generations deep, are among the village’s most prominent families. He is running on the Democratic ticket along with incumbent Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman and Julie Lofstad, a town councilwoman. “I am absolutely ready. It’s important to stand up for what you believe,” he said. “We’re looking forward to stability, to move the town forward.” Schiavoni said under Democratic leadership the town has achieved a Triple A bond rating and intends to “proceed with more affordable housing.”

Schiavoni is one of the only local politicians who has put tick control in the forefront of his to-do list. “I think the states are looking for leadership on the local level. Tick-borne illnesses are so prevalent here.” The “uncontrolled spraying” done locally to keep the tick population under control exacerbates the problem, Schiavoni pointed out. “The active ingredient attacks the central nervous system.” Schiavoni recently spoke before the Southampton Town Board and urged the body to repeal the

tuESDAY

planned development district law. “It’s a way for developers to skirt the local code. The benefit to the public is not enough for the community.”

“Accessory apartments let people stay here and rent,” he said.

“I know the benefits of a strong spirit of public service on the East End . . . people devoting time and effort to making things better,” Schiavoni said. “It is my desire to give back to a community which has given so much to me. For these reasons I am running for Southampton Town Board and would be honored to serve you.”

On The Beat

Trent allegedly became belligerent and back up was called in.

Continued From Page 10.

Schiavoni began working for the family plumbing business when he was 12. He graduated from SUNY Cortland and earned a Masters in liberal studies at Stony Brook University. “I learned that working in the trades was not my calling as my passion for history grew.”

snarled traffic for more than an hour. Traffic on Friday evening is always busy, but at around 5 PM, with so many folks getting off work, coming home from the beach and/or shopping, it is often clogged.

He has been a social studies teacher in the Center Moriches school district since 1988. He lives in North Haven and is an eight-year member of the Sag Harbor Fire Department. As for the affordable housing problem, it is well documented that young people are leaving the area after school because there are no places to live.

On this evening, according to East Hampton Village Police, a 19-yearold Riverhead man made an illegal U-turn and things escalated from there.

Gregory Trent was apparently headed east when he abruptly turned his van around into the westbound lane. Police said when they pulled him over, a computer check revealed his license had been suspended and there was a pending drug charge.

Police said Trent resisted attempts to handcuff him and that they were forced to taser Trent to subdue him. Trent then collapsed and an ambulance had to be called in. At this point there were two patrol cars, a third vehicle presumably belonging to an off-duty officer or emergency worker, plus a slew of onlookers. Traffic came to a halt in both directions. Trent was eventually taken to Southampton Hospital, treated and released, and brought to police headquarters in East Hampton.

In addition to resisting arrest, Trent was charged with second degree reckless endangerment, aggravated

Helen Ficalora Beauty, Love, & Peace

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

Helen Ficalora’s signature jewelry designs inspire beauty, love, and peace. Her classic pieces crafted from beautiful yellow, pink, and white gold with diamond accents reflect an appreciation for nature and organic form. Her business started inside her family’s beach motel in Montauk and has grown to be a global brand, a favorite among celebrities like Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Julianne Moore, Tina Fey, and Karlie Kloss. The collection resonates with women seeking unique and customizable jewelry that expresses their personal stories. As the pioneer of the alphabet-charm craze, Ficalora has been bringing her devoted fans quality designs for over a decade. Tell us how Helen Ficalora jewelry started. My business started in Montauk while I was managing our familyowned motel. At the time I was actually reselling jewelry that I found, and realized there was a need for something personal. I wanted to create pieces that were timeless and carried meaning. I started making jewelry and selling it in the motel, learning more and more about the retail business.

Initially, all I knew about a business 18

was what I had learned from running our motel, so I carried the same ideology of customer service and hospitality into my new business. I started out with mail order purchases, and the brand really grew by word of mouth. One of my clients told me she saw a woman wearing my necklace from across the street in Chicago and asked her where she got it from and that’s how she learned about my brand.

I also had help from friends that were experienced in different areas like fashion, finance, PR, marketing, and photography. With their knowledge and expertise I was able to learn how to work with editors, create marketing materials, how the public perceives ads, and more. With the combination of our strengths, my jewelry business had a great foundation and I am happy to say it allows me to be more involved with the team I’ve hired today. I’m grateful I had such supportive friends, family, and mentors to assist me with running the motel, raising my two sons, caring for my husband, and creating Helen Ficalora jewelry into what it is today. Who are some of the celebrities that wear your jewelry? Almost anyone you could think of has either worn or still wears my

jewelry. The best thing about my jewelry is it’s versatile, wearable, and personal. The list includes Brooke Shields, Julianne Moore, Edie Falco, Kelly Ripa, Tina Fey, Anne Hathaway, Martha Stewart, JK Rowling, Blake Lively, Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts, Seann William Scott, Mario Testino, Dakota Fanning, Jonah Hill, and more. It’s a great mixture from all industries! What are some of your favorites places to go in Montauk? A few of my favorites include Harvest on Fort Pond, the Gig Shack, the Breakers, the Montauk Lighthouse, Ditch Plains, and Naturally Good. What are you looking forward to most this summer? What I’m really looking forward to most this summer is hanging out at the Breakers, watching the sunsets, walking the dogs on the beach. Being able to enjoy my natural surroundings is relaxing and inspiring. I also enjoy having lunch

at Naturally Good with friends and family. What’s next for Helen Ficalora? Next is expansion into international markets, which we’ve been working toward, and continued growth and success. My vision is to have the brand become experiential and add to other’s lifestyles. My jewelry resonates with everyone simply because the pieces carry different meanings for each person and I want to build on that story.

Hampton Daze by Jessica Mackin-Cipro

How To Throw A Proper Bonfire

the dunes. Do you want to be responsible for burning down a multi-million dollar home? Or causing a forest fire? I didn’t think so.

If you’ve done this before, you’re probably familiar with the rules and regulations of the beach bonfire. But if not, you are going to want to read up. Here’s my beginner’s guide to throwing a bonfire in the town of East Hampton. Because nothing will kill your party quite like the Marine Patrol citing you for a violation … or 10.

First you’re going to want to get yourself a metal container. Fires are no longer allowed in the sand, they must be contained. And don’t buy the really-pretty-painted-red-andpurely-decorative tin in a pinch. I’ve learned the hard way, the tin will catch fire. Get something that’s built for fires and never follow my lead. Anyway… Set yourself up 50 feet from

You’ll also want to be 100 feet from a lifeguard stand, and make sure winds are not over 20 MPH on the night of your gathering. Also make sure you have a two-gallon bucket of water by you at all times. You’ll have to shut it down by midnight (the town says so), so start on the earlier side like 6 or 7 PM. But no earlier than 5 PM. If you’re inviting more than 50 guests, make sure you get a mass gathering permit first.

If you’re driving on the beach, just make sure you know how. Take some air out of your tires and hope for the best (and have a permit for your vehicle.) Make sure your car is actually a 4-wheel drive. Yes, you in the station wagon, you’re not going to make it.

You’re going to need firewood (no chemically treated wood), matches, lighter fluid, and newspaper (just not The Independent – use another newspaper). To start the fire you’re going to want to enlist a Girl or Boy Scout, or Google “how to start a fire.” Don’t ask me, I’ve never been in charge of this part. And for good reason, I can’t even buy a proper fire-safe metal container. If you’re feeling fancy you can have your bonfire catered (again, don’t forget any permits needed). Almost every local catering company offers an option for clambakes. If this is more of your every day 20

budget bonfire -- the kind I’m used to throwing -- I like to have all of the food taken care of ahead of time, so that I’m able to enjoy the party. You can never go wrong with a platter from Luigi’s. I’ll pre-“cook” cold food options like a summer corn salad, fresh fruit, cheese, crackers … basically anything simple that doesn’t need to be served hot works well. A signature cocktail will go a long way. Just make sure the presentation is nice. Serve it in a pitcher and your work is done. Also, beer, wine, and water are a must. Of course you’ll need music, so come prepared with a speaker. Maybe invite someone who plays guitar to bring it along. There you have it, the perfect bonfire.

Musings With April Gornik

Around the globe, April Gornik is known as one of the world’s most celebrated landscape painters, whose name is often sprinkled into conversations, and on museum walls, with the likes of Hockney, Turner, and Monet. But around Sag Harbor, she’s also known as Wonder Woman.

FR EE

IN SP W EC HO TI LE ON H –C O AL USE LT OD AY

Okay, maybe not exactly. But North Haven resident Gornik is involved in a myriad of causes to protect the environmental and cultural aspects of the area she and her husband,

artist Eric Fischl, have chosen to call home. She cofounded the Sag Harbor Partnership, which currently is the platform to raise funds for the renovation of the Sag Harbor Cinema, she and Fischl have preserved acres of wetlands, she sits on the board of the newlyformed Southampton Arts and Culture Committee, the Eastville Historical Society, and there is much more. She even came up with a way to fish for sharks without hurting them. For real. Gornik has been lauded for her

work and her activism in the past, including as the recipient of Guild Hall’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003, and this weekend will be honored, along with Minerva Perez, the executive director of OLA, and Paule Pachter, CEO of Long Island Cares, at “Caliente,” a benefit to raise funds for both organizations. But back to Sag Harbor. Gornik is passionate about the history of the area – and not just the environmental and artistic history. “This was a place of industry,”

she said. “Sag Harbor has this amazing economic history. One of the walking tours I did for the Sag Harbor Partnership is ‘Working Sag Harbor.’ Sag Harbor had fishing, then whaling and boatbuilding. Then there was the gold rush and the oil boom, and Sag Harbor rose up with the Alvin silver company, and the watchcase factory, and the metalsmithing. I mean, it was really a place of enterprise,” she said. Activism, she said, comes along

Richard Kind To Host Caliente

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

Actor Richard Kind is well known for his roles in sitcoms “Mad About You” and “Spin City.” He’s been on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Scrubs” and starred in Tom Stoppard’s comedic production of Travesties at Bay Street. Coming up, Kind has a role in the show “Red Oaks,” directed by David Gordon Green, coming out on Amazon Prime.

On Saturday Kind will emcee the “Caliente” event, a benefit for Long Island Cares – The Harry Chapin Food Bank and OLA of Eastern Long Island. It will feature a performance by Tito Puente, Jr. and his eight-piece band. Honorary chair is Academy and Tony Award winner Mercedes Ruehl. The event will honor April Gornik, Minerva Perez, and Paule Pachter. Kind tells Indy about his

involvement in the upcoming event and what he looks forward to this summer. Tell us how you became involved with the Caliente event? I know Minerva, who is involved with OLA. When they needed a host, she gave me a call. I know the good work she does and so I said yes. Then when I learned the other organization, Long Island Cares was involved, I said absolutely. What are you looking forward to most at the event? This is a good and joyous occasion to support these two organizations. There will be a great sense of community at this event. And with music by Tito Puente Jr. it will be a very festive evening.

What are you looking forward to most this summer? I am working on a TV series that is on Amazon Prime called “Red Oaks.” It’s a great show with Paul Reiser, Jennifer Grey, and [executive producer] Steven Soderbergh. Everyone should check it out! What are some of your favorite places in The Hamptons? I am fortunate enough to be able to play golf at The Bridge. It is a glorious place.

Also, I’m on the board of Bay Street

Theater. I adore that place and their mission to bring wonderful theater to the community. On occasion, I’m lucky to participate.

Long Island Cares is the regional food bank for Long Island. It brings together all available resources for the area’s hungry and food insecure.

Jeffrey “The Houseman” Clemens discovered G. Love performing in a Boston pub. The two started playing together and brought in upright bassist James “Jimi Jazz” Prescott. Their self-titled debut, featuring the hit “Cold Beverage,” wound up going gold.

His latest album with band Special Sauce, Love Saves The Day, completes the trilogy that G. Love starting with Fixin’ To Die in 2011. The album stripped his music down to its roots, while Sugar, in G. Love’s words, “reconnected the blues of the electric side” and reunited the original trio. Love Saves The Day dives deeper, making the grooves heavier and the performances more authentic. It was recorded live with few edits to capture the immediacy of the music.

G. Love Comes To Town

“When you get that spark, you got to ride that energy,” said G.

Love. The frontman of G. Love & Special Sauce is bringing his down and dirty “trashcan blues” sound to

the East End this weekend with a performance at The Stephen Talkhouse on Saturday, and The Surf Lodge on Sunday. He is hitting the road on his solo acoustic Streetside Blues tour, making stops in many beachside towns along the East Coast. G. Love proudly describes himself as a road dog that “will be touring until I fall off the Earth.”

It’s been 20 years since G. Love & Special Sauce was born. Drummer

“The music,” G. Love enthused, “jumped off the tape.” He calls the album “the fullest realization of the hip-hop blues” that he first pioneered with Special Sauce in the early ’90s. “It’s a good time to be doing what we are doing,” he said, noting Gary Clark Jr., Jack White, Robert Randolph, and Galactic as some fellow keepers of the blues flame who “maintain the roots but push forward music.” For more information on the performances visit www. stephentalkhouse.com and www. thesurflodge.com.

UnHampton At The Beach Hut

By Kitty Merrill

Considering the crowds that come out every Wednesday, Latin music night at Meschutt Beach Hut is hardly the best-kept secret in The Hamptons. But it’s definitely one of the most diverse, most reasonable, most fun, and most UnHampton of area venues. There’s not one snooty hedgefunder to be found. Like its sister venue at Cupsogue Beach in Westhampton, Meschutt’s the place where local people of all ages head for excellent music, dynamite dancing, reasonable food and drinks, and, if they’re lucky, stupendous sunsets. On Latin music night last week, la Elegancia de la Salsa had revelers of all ages and abilities dancing on the sand, in the aisles, in the

parking lot. Teenagers salsa-ed alongside senior citizens alongside parents with children. Beach Hut is absolutely a family-friendly locale. The music usually starts at 6, and if you want a table, get there early. La Elegancia de la Salsa and the audience fave Mambo Loco trade off Wednesday nights. But that’s not all.

There’s music at the Beach Huts every night during the summer. They’ve got a handy calendar on their website.

You’ll find Indy at Meschutt on Wednesdays and Cupsogue on Thursday nights when That ‘70s Band comes to town beginning this week.

Other awesome acts at Meschutt this week include New Life Crisis tomorrow night, Winston Irie Saturday night, Souled Out on Sunday, and the Mandolin Experience next Tuesday. On many weekends, the music can start at noon, so be sure to check the calendar online.

Condo? Co-Op? Rental? To you it’s simply “Home.”

In addition to hosting one of Long Island’s best cover groups, That ‘70s Band, each Thursday night this month, the Beach Hut at Cupsogue boasts a full slate of musical acts

The Symbol Of America

By Rick Murphy

Move over, fictional symbologists Robert Langdon and Jeremy Logan. Flag historian Henry W. Moeller, a longtime Hampton Bays resident, devoted four decades to producing an in-depth and revealing look at our American flag, The Thirteen-Star American Flag: Origin of a Symbol. Over 500 books have been written about our nation’s flag, but almost without exception these books deal with the flag’s designer, the patriotism it represents, and the proper way to display it. In By Rick Murphy

Andrea D’Aquino, a longtime summer resident of Meeting House Lane in Amagansett, has crafted the perfect summer read, and it’s also a hands-on project. D’Aquino, a go-to art director, graphic designer, and illustrator in Manhattan, has been published internationally, and her art has been the subject of several gallery exhibitions.

Once Upon A Piece of Paper is described by the author as “part creative philosophy, part how-to book on my personal process for collage.” The work includes a 112page paperback plus a pad of 100

unique collage papers on two-sided sheets, all inside of a beautiful hardcover case with an elastic band. The goal is for the reader to find out “how layers of simple paper can create mysterious and beautiful worlds within worlds through the art of collage.”

contrast, Moeller’s book focuses on the sources and meanings of the American flag symbols. It is an almost untold story. And it takes the reader from ancient Greece and Rome to the birth of the Republic, and from the Old to the New World, and to the esoteric mysteries of astronomy, heraldry, and religion.

By Rick Murphy

Set in Nashville and The Hamptons, Love Hard, the latest novel by author Barbara Justice, takes the reader on a steamy, sexy trip on tour busses and private jets, testing the limits of love, obsession, and jealousy.

“Love Hard was inspired by today’s contemporary country music,” said Justice, who splits her time between her homes in The Hamptons and New York City. She created a companion Spotify playlist available through the author’s website, www. barbarajusticebooks.com.

“Many of the songs on the playlist inspired actual scenes in Love Hard. But – spoiler alert – if you play the songs in order, the playlist reveals the story,” she added. As she did in her 2015 debut novel Anything But Mine, the author highlights the importance of maintaining and preserving open space and farmland on the East End of Long Island in her latest novel. Love Hard is available exclusively through Amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle format.

Black, who died in 2015, drew inspiration from nature, specifically the trees and bay area in East Hampton where she lived for many years. Essential revelation of nature informs the works; tree forms are simplified and reformed through a combination of drawing and gestural brushwork using oil paint, gouache, and crayon. Trees often seem as sentinels who guard the foliage, water, and pathways in the natural setting. In the simplified strokes and pursuit of light, the works exude a meditative quality. A later series of abstractions reveal similar characteristics of light and form.

Dining John Papas Turns 25

By Bridget LeRoy

If you’re searching for a steak with a red wine reduction in East Hampton, you probably don’t have to look very far. But if you’re in the mood for a tuna melt and some Jell-O with whipped cream, there’s only one place to go – John Papas Café, which celebrated its 25th

Independent/Morgan McGivern

anniversary in June.

“Through our doors pass the finest people in the world – our customers, our friends,” the front of the menu reads, and John Papas, who took over the site of the former Seafood Corner in 1992, means it.

Company

“It’s the local people who have kept us open this long,” Papas acknowledged. “It used to be that after Labor Day, only a couple of cars would be on Main Street in an hour. So if it weren’t for the people who lived here year-round, we would have closed after the first summer.”

Serving up breakfast all day, along with lunch and dinner, the restaurant with a Mediterranean twist sits on a busy corner of the Reutershan parking lot behind East Hampton’s tony Main Street. It’s not only popular with the locals – celebrities and captains of industry also strap on the John Papas feedbag with pride. Back in 1992, there weren’t a lot of international eating choices in The Hamptons. “When I first opened, I could buy a couple of bags of pita from the local supermarket and it would last me a few weeks,” Papas said with a laugh. “Now I go through cases a day.”

Find us at the Havens Farmers Market on Shelter Island Saturday 9AM 12:30PM

www.hamptonjam.com

The number-one selling item for the last 25 years has been and still is the Greek salad with grilled chicken. And for Papas – who had previously owned Estia in Amagansett – the consistency of the menu is key. “I like to offer my customers lots of choices, but also the comfort foods of their

childhood,” he said. The menu features everything from Eggs Benedict to burgers, souvlaki to smoked salmon, dolmades to waffles. “Everyone is welcome here.” Papas’s own childhood in Greece was about as far from The Hamptons as one could get. “We had no electricity,” he said. “Our town was made up from seven other towns that had been destroyed.” While waiting for his grandfather’s house to be built, Papas and his family slept in the stables with the horses. “When I tell this story to my own kids, they say, ‘Dad, are you from planet Earth?’”

Papas didn’t plan to go into the restaurant business. He was trained as a graphic designer “before computers,” he said. He is still an artist – it is his work that adorns the walls of the café.

And after 25 years, Papas feels a twinge of pride, and humility, in what he’s provided to the town he calls home. “It’s familiar. And affordable. Everyone can come in and order what they like. And everybody likes something from the menu – for kids, and senior citizens, vegetarians, there’s something for everyone.” There’s even a steak with a red wine reduction.

ABOUT: From an early age, Dominic spent summers catching fish and picking fruit off local trees in his native Florida. Dominic attended Le Cordon Bleu in Orlando. After honing his skills at Gary Danko in San Francisco, he moved to Luma on Park where he quickly moved through the ranks to become sous chef. After working at Jean-Georges in New York City, he moved to Resto to learn more about the nose-to-tail movement and charcuterie production as the sous chef. Dominic then spent three years as the chef de cuisine at Tipsy Parson in Chelsea before assisting John Fraiser in opening Narcissa at the Standard East hotel. Dominic then opened Slate in Florida with the James Beardnominated Cocentrics restaurant group, before joining the Amali team where he oversees culinary operations for Amali, Amali Mou, Calissa, Sopra, and The Bar Room.

DOMINIC’S GUEST WORTHY RECIPE:

Mykonos-Style Lobster Pasta WHY? It’s a great summer dish because it has bold flavors and freshness of the season. The fennel, mint, parsley, and tomato balance the heaviness of cream so well,

● Once the pot comes to a boil, drop the two lobsters in and turn the heat on high

Note - The Greek trick to great lobster pasta is to boil the pasta in the same water in which you boil the lobsters, so every bite tastes like lobster.

Food & Beverage

by Jessica Mackin-Cipro Harbor Grill Closes  Harbor Grill, the hidden gem adored by locals in East Hampton, sadly served its final meal on Sunday, June 18. Executive chef and co-owner Damien O’Donnell attributes the closing to constantly rising food costs. “We can no longer continue to operate a concept that was created with the intention to keep fair and reasonable prices for our clientele. We opened Harbor Grill to provide the local community with an option to go out to dinner with the entire family, not pay an arm and a leg, and still get a quality meal,”

said O’Donnell. “The increased costs of food and beverage have made it extremely difficult to run a profitable year-round restaurant. We’d like to thank all of our loyal guests and employees who have supported us throughout the almost seven-year journey.” Harbor Grill fans are encouraged to visit its sister restaurant, Harbor Bistro. The waterfront mainstay is boasting a new nautical and modern, yet casual, dining room this season. O’Donnell’s standouts on the menu include crispy kataifilobster bundle with citrus slaw, spiced sesame aioli and Thai chili

glaze; Tograshi shrimp linguini with pancetta, shiitake, asparagus, and lemon-soy emulsion; and pistachio-crusted swordfish with a crisp risotto cake, asparagus, and Tahitian vanilla-lobster sauce. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling the restaurant directly at 631-3247300. Kozu Japanese fusion restaurant Kozu in Southampton, led by Zach Erdem — restauranteur and owner of 75 Main Group (AM Southampton, Hotel ZE & KOZU) -- offers incredible Japanese cuisine with stunning Peruvian influences. A selection of Kozu’s delicious dishes includes the tiger shrimp cocktail with cocktail sauce and lemon, the yellowfin tuna tartar with soy, ginger, and sesame seeds, and the Kozu roll with unagi and avocado, topped with foie gras and caviar for starters. Among the entrees, seafood specials include crusted tuna with soy, wasabi, and seaweed salad, and Chilean sea

bass with bok choy, ginger, and soy glaze. Call 631-619-6660 for more info. Après Beach Calissa in Water Mill has launched Après Beach in its back garden. The new series, which will begin at 4 PM every Saturday in July and August, is inspired by Après Ski – the term used to describe the fun social scene that take place after a long day of skiing in the winter.

Calissa’s version of the wintertime tradition will offer Hamptonites all of the elements for a great summer night celebration – whether they are sipping rosé from a magnum bottle, playing a game of bocce ball, or watching Calissa’s executive chef Dominic Rice grill a whole suckling pig over an open flame, all while enjoying the sounds of a live DJ. Reservations for Après Beach ($250) include reserved couch seating in the garden for four people, individual servings of roasted suckling pig, plus side dishes, and large format rosé for the table.

Unconditional Love

The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation enters into its eighth year of the annual Unconditional Love Gala. The anticipated event will be held this Saturday at the residence of Chuck and Ellen Ward Scarborough in Southampton beginning at 6:30 PM. “It’s critical to who we are and what we do,” Southampton Animal Shelter’s adoptions coordinator, Kate McEntee, explained. With Chuck Scarborough as master of ceremonies, the event will honor Jean Shafiroff and Sony Schotland.

“[Sony] is the co-founder of the shelter. She’s basically the woman who started it all, Southampton Animal Shelter and ARF. She basically had major contributions in getting these big organizations running. We thank her for all her support throughout the years,” McEntee said. “[ Jean] has been a chair of Unconditional Love for the past few years. So we’re honoring her this year for everything she does for us.” In addition to honoring extraordinary women, Katie Jacobs of Christie’s will be the new auctioneer this year. Trips to the Victoria Hotel in Paris and Deer Valley in Utah, luxury accessories, Jimmy Fallon tickets, and more are all exciting options for bidding. For those intrigued, debuting this year is an online platform for the live auction where everything is available through a mobile device.

After the roaring success of Catwalk for Canines, where each animal featured found itself a “furever home,” this year the shelter hopes money raised will assist in their “patient pets,” those who have remained at the shelter for over 90 days, some even for years. “We take everything that comes to our door. Age and health don’t matter,” McEntee emphasized. “Supporting them is what it’s all about. It’s the reason we can help animals with special needs, who need to go through training.”

Unconditional Love is more than

a gala, it’s the mentality of the foundation. Through its tireless efforts and tremendous heart, with the help of countless supporters, Southampton Animal Shelter gives second chances to the four-legged community.

Arts & Entertainment

Reporting From Broadway by Isa Goldberg Martyna Majok’s new play, Cost of Living, at The Manhattan Theater Club’s City Center Stage, explores visibly uncomfortable territory. A play about disabilities, cast with people who have disabilities, Living stands out among a few like-minded productions, prominent in recent years.

of their lives, her play makes life’s painful rigors transparent. Fortunately, she also imbues the theatrical experience with a sharply-honed comic sensibility.

Among them, Sam Gold’s revival of Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie last season featured Madison Ferris, a woman with muscular dystrophy, in the role of Laura. And the prior season’s revival of Spring Awakening, by the Deaf West Theatre, was incredibly innovative, with a cast of deaf actors playing roles that are sung by hearing actors.

Here we meet John (Gregg Mozgala), a doctoral candidate in political science at Princeton, interviewing a woman to work as his aide. “Can you do this job?” the wealthy, demanding, privileged man in the motorized wheelchair asks Jess, the beautiful Jolly Abraham, again and again. As portrayed by Mozgala, not a muscle in John’s body seems to behave at his command, but his controlling nature clearly exceeds our expectations of a man with severe physical limitations. Mozgala’s John is entirely off-putting.

In exploring the vulnerable, underrepresented, and ostracized, these playwrights work in the tradition of creating theater that addresses social issues of critical significance. Bringing physical disabilities to the fore causes audiences to experience the raw humanity of these characters, and it makes it hard for us to ignore suffering. Jarring as it is to watch the characters in Majok’s new work struggle with the daily mundanity

Jolly Abraham is captivating in her

Off Broadway, Samuel D. Hunter’s Good Beer and Neil LaBute’s Call Back, both from 2013, also demonstrate the heroic nature of characters who live beyond the limitations of their physical selves.

Still, his concern about her ability seems a little weird. What can a man in a wheelchair really need, beyond the basics – showering, dressing? But this is where human emotion takes a wacky twist, and the question of what he really needs brings into focus what Jess also needs. Love, human connection, respect - these are all up for grabs in a world where the “cost of living” is out of control. There seems to be, in contemporary society, a contempt for the poor, equaled only by our contempt for those who are medically difficult to treat. As we learn here, these issues are not necessarily the same.

role, striving as she does to succeed, to embrace, to improve her life. She is the character with whom we most empathize, not only because we identify with the rejection she faces, but also because it feels so unexpected. How she winds up in desperate poverty is no reflection of her intellect, nor her efforts. When she meets Eddie, a truck driver, who has been caring for his wife Ani (Katy Sullivan), a recent amputee from whom he had been separated, it brings a comic turn

to a play that delves into such visually uncomfortable material. In a scene that remains seared in my memory, Eddie, portrayed by Victor Williams as a sweet and compassionate man, is giving Ani a bath. Walking off for just a moment, he returns to realize that without something to hold her up, she’s sunk, drowning in a bathtub of water. Best not to spoil the outcome here, but it is a tender, humanizing one, beautifully directed by Jo Bonney.

Sharing Her Special Gift

By Elizabeth Vespe

Eastern Long Island Hospital is now the beneficiary of two of Laura Westlake-DiLorenzo’s fine colored pencil pieces, titled Remembrance and Rights of Spring. A self-taught artist who has been drawing and painting since the age of five, Laura worked mainly

with colored pencils for the past 35 years before changing to oils. Unlike paint, colored pencils can’t be mixed on a palette and must be blended directly on paper. “Eastern Long Island Hospital appreciates donations of all kinds, and we are especially grateful to Laura for sharing her special gift with us,” stated Thomas E.

Many medical professionals credit the creative arts with the ability to heal, whether through selfexpression or by bringing comfort to patients. “These restorative elements in a hospital setting are especially beneficial to those experiencing anxiety or fear while undergoing treatment,” Douglas Hoverkamp, MD, director of psychiatry pointed out. Eastern Long Island Hospital’s art collection includes paintings by Jacqueline Penny and the late Roy DeMeo, both of Cutchogue, as well as several art pieces and photographic images gifted by grateful patients over the years.

The Southold Historical Society announces “The Homefront,” an exhibit commemorating 100 years since the US entered the first World War.

The next morning Trent was remanded to county jail when he failed to come up with $500 bail. Drug Raid In Riverhead The East End Drug Task Force executed a warrant on Raynor Avenue in Riverhead on June 29. Their target, they said, was known drug dealers. Sheryl Madr, 33, and Robert Bradley, 44, were both charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony, based on evidence investigators gathered during the course of the investigation. A search turned up drugs at the locale, police said, so additional charges against both individuals

were filed.

Michael T. Young, 33, another occupant, was charged with criminal nuisance in the first degree, a class E felony usually applied to a person who allows the sale of drugs at his or her premises. Young was additionally criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class A misdemeanor. Madr and Young were arrested in January at the same address for assault and battery, police said. The Riverhead Town Police Department and Suffolk County Police Emergency Services coordinated the search warrant, according to an EEDTF press release.

How To Decorate A $24 Million Hamptons Home

stone fireplaces, one is Calcutta gold and the other is soapstone. I love the kitchen and two master bathrooms. Luckily things went smoothly given the scale and the tight timeline. The biggest challenge was making so many creative decisions so quickly for every little detail, since I chose everything right down to the sheets and towels. Can you walk us through the design process? Has this changed throughout your career? By Zachary Weiss

Local interior decorator Tamara Magel knows a thing or two about home décor – from fish tanks in elevator lobbies to over-thetop outdoor entertaining areas, Magel knows exactly what every Hamptons hideaway needs to make each one unique and unforgettable. Her latest project, a $24 million Sagaponack residence built alongside residential developer De La Motte–Schult, comes complete with 11 bedrooms and 11.5 baths, and weighs in at a whopping 12,600 square feet – giving ample room for Magel to express her signature coastal style. What does every Hamptons home need?

A great kitchen and outdoor entertaining area. It’s about summer and relaxing, being outside, barbecuing, and having friends and family visit. Most people spend a lot of time at home and the two most used places are the kitchen and outdoors.

I think every designer has his or her own unique process. I collect a lot of inspirational images much like a client would for their own house. I look for themes that will make it cohesive. The creativity happens inside of me as the data is being collected; my own ideas start to form which will fit into the space, budget, and timing. When I first started out, I let my clients really dictate what was happening creatively. As I get more experienced, my clients started coming to me for more creativity and guidance.

you to include in a home design? My clients are pretty sophisticated so I don’t get too many wacky requests. They want beauty and style, but I was once asked to put a fish tank in the hallway of an elevator lobby? I think the children wanted that. Are there any affordable elements we can recreate ourselves at home? Of course, there are a lot of affordable things on the market. Marble and brass accessories you can find at all price points now. Great wool or cashmere blankets draping over the sofa. Knit pillows are very in-style right now, and an affordable way to really make a space pop with some color and texture. What’s next for Tamara Magel Inc.? The developer, De La Motte– Schult, and I will hopefully do another Hamptons home again soon! In the meantime, I’ll be working on some great townhouses in Manhattan. I love New York City townhouses, because it’s such a lucky way to live in New York – lots of space and room for imagination. 57

SmartAsset released a study last week that concluded closing costs for transferred property in Suffolk County are among the lowest in New York State.

The average closing cost for a home with a Median Value of $75,100 was $9237 in Suffolk. Closing costs tended to mirror Median Value: for example, in Nassau County the average closing cost was $10,474 but the Median Value was $446,400. Similarly, closing

costs were $10,872 in Rockland (Median Value $419,000) but lower in Putnam -- $8912 for a house valued at $354,000. New York City had the highest numbers -- $24,819 in closing costs for a house with a Median Value of $848,700. That was the highest in the state when closing costs were stated as a percentage of the purchase price at 2.9 percent. It was 2.5 percent in Suffolk. The lowest, Nassau County, came in at 2.3 percent.

Dementia, Mom, And Me In the Death Bubble

By Kitty Merrill Part One “Can you hear me, Mom?”

She mouthed the word yes, her face expressionless. “I want you to know. I know everything good, every talent, every strength. All that is positive, I know it came from you. Do you understand?”

She mouthed the word yes, her face expressionless. “And, Mom. I want you to know – anything in the past, anything negative between us. It doesn’t matter. It’s forgotten. Do you understand?” A barely perceptible nod.

“Is there anything you want to tell me? Anything you want to say?” She mouthed the words, “I love you.”

We’re in the hospital’s death room, though I’m sure they call it something else. Mom is getting “comfort care.” That means there are no treatments left. She’s not going to recover.

It’s the third or fourth day in a surprisingly spacious space. There’s a couch – for vigils, I suppose. Comfortable chairs.

I keep the lights off and the shades drawn to mimic an environment of peace. But every time I leave, I return to find fluorescents shining in her face, the shades pulled up.

There’s a sign at the entrance of the ward, urging visitors to be quiet because “healing is happening.” The sign doesn’t apply to Mom, and it doesn’t seem to apply to staff, either. They holler up and down the hall. I leave Mom’s side to go out and shush them. A lot. When it became clear she’d never return to assisted living, we tried to move Mom closer – out to the South Fork where her East Coast kids live. But the upisland rehab

took days to send the paperwork to Southampton.

The day she was due to leave, as I was on the phone giving credit card info to the ambulance company that demanded pre-payment, someone else was on the phone to my sister telling her Mom was too frail to move. They were sending her to the ER. “If we can’t have her, nobody can,“ crossed my mind. I find her in the ER – machines beeping, a dozen or so nurses behind a big horseshoeshaped counter, chatting, eating, on the computer.

enough.

Despite a bounty of empty bays, they roll another patient in next to Mom. The gurneys are almost touching, and I have to move to the end of the bed.

She’s in the ICU the next day and we’re asked our preference: surgery from which she wouldn’t recover, treatment that won’t heal her, or comfort care and pain management. We pick comfort care.

When they came to the door, I just pointed and said, “No. Out.”

A cop sits on the only chair available for visitors. I wonder if he’s there to oust loved ones who, confronted by the laissez-faire care, lose it. He isn’t.

Because I do.

Mom needs to be admitted, to a room away from the noise and commotion. She needs to be changed and cleaned. A stonefaced nurse puts me off with “in a minute.” So I cry.

And she softens.

Mom shouts in pain when they touch her, less than tenderly attending to sores she got next door in the nursing home. When I arrive I kiss her and can’t tell for sure whether it registers. She speaks so softly, I have to bend down to hear her. Each time I bend down, she puckers up for another kiss. The sweet moment doesn’t last very long. Nowhere near long

We pick it four times as different doctors come to ask if we’re sure. We’re not, but we pick it anyway. One doctor comes in and pokes Mom’s belly till she yelps. “Does this hurt?” he asks, pressing on her stomach.

I want to press his face into the wall.

Everyone else in the ICU is lovely. So of course she doesn’t get to stay there.

They bring her to the death room and it takes two trips on the gurney – up to the third floor, back down, then up again – because the room isn’t ready. This I have learned: mess-ups and miscommunication are the rule, not the exception, in a hospital environment.

Mom begins to speak some unintelligible gibberish. Maybe it’s a language from a past life, one spiritual friend suggests. Maybe she’s not talking to me. Maybe she’s communing with family on the other side. Cousins tell stories of dying parents calling out to siblings who went before, fathers and mothers with faces radiant with the joy of heavenly reunion. We had none of that.

My siblings stepped up strong in

the final weeks, relieving me of the paperwork, the money, the insurance, the phone calls. All the frustration of 14 months was lifted. I was free to just be with Mom and I wanted nothing else. On Friday morning, it was just us. My nephew Nick set me up with a room at the Hampton Inn in Commack. They gave us a special rate when I told them why I was there.

I got to the hospital early. We listened to meditation music. She wasn’t in pain, motionless in the bed, responding less and less. It was peaceful.

Until some white-coated kid with a clipboard came in. Your mother could be deemed stable for transport to another facility, she told me. I told her she was nuts, my mother was dying. I said she didn’t understand the situation. I said she was cruel to even suggest moving Mom, jostling her around, setting her up to die in some ambulance on the 495. Before I told her to get out, I said more things, stuff that can’t be printed in a family newspaper. She scurried away.

It was just us again. In the bubble that had morphed from dementia, mom, and me, to mom and me and death. I wouldn’t let the bubble be popped by another clipboard bitch or flatliner white coat or loud and harried aide. When they came to the door, I just pointed and said, “No. Out.” “Mom can you hear me? Mom?” The slightest nod.

“All this time, I did my best to protect you. When you get to heaven, I hope you will protect me. Do you understand? Can you hear me?” She pressed her lips together. I took that as a yes.

Clapton. By Rick Murphy

The official definition is: A Plenary Indulgence is the full remission of temporal punishment due for sins which have already been forgiven. The indulgence is granted by the Catholic Church after the sinner has confessed and received absolution. Indulgences draw on the Treasury of Merit accumulated by Christ’s superabundantly meritorious sacrifice on the cross and the virtues and penances of the saints. They are granted for specific good works and prayers.

That’s why the sacrament of last rites is the go-to sacrament, even more so than the Eucharist, which comes with wine.

RICK’S SPACE

by Rick Murphy

Beg my (plenary) Indulgence There is a certain smugness those of us who went to Catholic school carry deep within our soul. It is the belief that we will go to heaven. No matter what.

“God forgive me!” people exclaim when they’ve done something wrong. “Heaven help me!”

You hear these exclamations from a lot of non-Catholics, or, as we referred to them at St. Francis of Assisi School, “heathens.”

The fear, of course, is that a sin will land you 20 or so years in purgatory, or, scarier still, a lifetime in hell. Make no mistake about it, there is no early release program in hell. You don’t get time off for good behavior. There are no parole boards. There are no presidential

★

pardons.

How long is eternity? One philosopher once wrote, “Consider a single grain of sand on a vast ocean beach. A grain of sand is a lifetime, and the beach is eternity.” Wow. My first thought was we are lucky hell isn’t in East Hampton Village, where it costs $20 to park at the beach for one lousy day.

I’m not saying we sin less than nonCatholics, it’s just we have our ace in the hole: a Plenary Indulgence. A Plenary Indulgence is a getout-of-jail-free card. Pretend for a moment your soul is a piece of plywood. A sin is a nail in the wood. A Plenary Indulgence removes all the nails from the wood, no strings attached. Heaven here I come!

The most popular way to get an indulgence is the old triple header: Go to confession, receive holy communion, and say the Papal Prayer, which goes as follows: “Dear Holy Father, please tell the next guy not to name himself Pius, John, Benedict, William, Francis, or Leo because we get them all confused.” The best day to get a Plenary Indulgence is Holy Thursday. Holy Thursday is like the day after Thanksgiving, when everything is on sale. It’s like Mike’s Taco Shack when Mike offers two-for-one shrimp tacos and all-you-can-drink sangria. It’s a buy one life, get halflife free kind of deal.

Basically, all you need to do is show up to church on Holy Thursday and pray, preferably with rosary beads, and you’ll be guaranteed eternal bliss – assuming, of course, you don’t sin any more after that. That’s the hard thing. I’ve been coveting my neighbor’s goods since Billy Lynch, the kid next door to me, got a brand-new baseball mitt for Christmas.

I take the Lord’s name in vain so many times in the course of the day I fear I might be stricken down at any moment. As for worshipping other gods, two words: Eric

If you die right after receiving the last rites you are good to go. You are on the train to Jordan. You are heaven-bound.

But be forewarned: The devil lurks. You better not slip away before the priest completes those last rites! Even if you are in a coma the devil could argue you weren’t of sound mind and ergo you can’t cash in -you’re headed to Satanville, buddy. Leave it to my sixth-grade nun, Sister James Marion, to blow my cool.

I was doing what I do best, sin, because on Tuesday afternoons we would go to church to pick up a Plenary Indulgence.

When Sister James heard me cursing she informed me, as if I hadn’t heard it a million times, that I was doomed to hell. That’s when I told her I had a stockpile of Plenary Indulgences stashed at the Treasury of Merit, which is kind of like a Swiss bank. “Mr. Murphy, an indulgence may remove the nail from the wood, but the hole remains.” That, she told me, was how the word “holy” came to be. Bam! So there it was! “OMG!” I exclaimed. “OMG!”

“What does that mean?” she asked quizzically.

“It means Oh My God,” I informed her. “I don’t want to take the Lord’s name in vain because that would be another nail and another hole.” She glared. So that’s the true story of how OMG came into usage. I still LOL about it when I tell the story.

July Is . . . National blueberry month, cell phone courtesy month, hot dog month, ice cream month, picnic month, and national anti-boredom month. Amen to that.

The folks at holidayinsights.com compile a list of bizarre, unique, and special holidays. They tell us today is a mite bipolar, what with it being National Bikini Day and National Workaholics Day. Unless you’re a lifeguard, recognizing both may be a bit of a challenge. Thursday also presents a conundrum. Make sure you brush after celebrating National Fried Chicken Day before participating in International Kissing Day.

Friday is Chocolate Day and National Strawberry Sundae Day. Now there’s a mash-up we can get behind, with relish.

Blueberries get a month and a day in July. Munch a few on Saturday while hitting the console and cellphone in celebration Video Games Day. Combine the celebrations Sunday and Monday, and enjoy sugar cookies at a Teddy Bear Picnic. Drop me a line or shoot me a text on Tuesday. It’s “Cheer up the Lonely Day.”

with industry to any area. “It was always citizens of the community that have stepped up, protecting and preserving, standing up for their rights and the rights of others. They are the ones who affected any changes along the way.” The industry of Sag Harbor helped “to draw all kinds of different people to the area, which creates diversity and culture. And along with the workers and wage earners, there were always the writers and artists.” Gornik and Fischl both feel that even more than individual creativity, it is the beginning of a cultural institution boom in Sag Harbor, “making this even more of a cultural destination. It seems to me like right now the East End is seeing amazing cultural growth. I think it’s a really exciting time for the village.”

Right now, Gornik’s focus is on creating a vibrant film community at the new Sag Harbor Cinema, which is about halfway to its fundraising goal. “I am really starting to understand the meaning of the word ‘cinematheque,’” she said. “I had always loved going to the Quad and other art movie houses in the city, but to recreate something like that here is really special.” She recalled, from other people’s stories, the days when parents could drop their kids off for cartoon festivals at the old Sag Harbor movie theater, and visualizes offering that again, along with fellowships, filmmaking classes, and, of course, movies.

She waxes about her co-honorees at this weekend’s “Caliente” event. “I’ve been a Minerva fan forever,” she said of Perez. “What OLA is doing out here is so important, even more so now. And Paule and the Harry Chapin Food Bank – well, Long Island Cares was one of the first major charitable organizations on Long Island, and provides so much to so many.” But being honored for her own activism this weekend is something that brings a slight furrow to her brow. Getting involved just comes naturally to April Gornik. “If I can see something clearly, and I can help, then I’m going to jump in,” she said with a smile. “I mean, is there any other way?”

We lived in the first public housing project in New York. I remember the address! It was 4009, 10th Street. And my mother stood right there to make sure I didn’t fall off. Pat Siskin I remember summer camp. First, when I was very young, I went to Girl Scout camp. That was for two weeks. But then when I was a little older I got to go to camp for eight whole weeks and it was wonderful. That was in the Midwest. Nancy Faith What I remember most about summer was going to camp. I loved going away to camp. I went to sleep-away camp and I was surrounded by a group of ready-made friends. I just loved it!

Bruce Stanford I loved going to Orchard Beach. It was on City Island in the Bronx. And I used to spend the whole day lying on the beach and getting baked by the sun.

New Protection For Students

By Laura Field

Student debt. It’s a crushing reality for milliennials across the country. Borrowing money for college is hard enough, without unsavory lenders looking to dupe borrowers.

Passage of legislation to protect the interests of New York’s student borrowers by requiring the licensure of student loan servicers may help. “As the Assembly continues its efforts to make higher education affordable and accessible for as many New Yorkers as possible, we must also confront the looming student debt crisis,” said NYS Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie last week. “We have worked very hard to achieve critical protections for consumers in this state and with the sizeable population of education borrowers in New York, we must ensure that the businesses engaged in this industry are operating in a manner that is accountable.”

Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski added, “Crushing student loan debt has unfortunately become commonplace for many New Yorkers and our state has a responsibility to ensure borrowers are treated fairly. With consumer protections uncertain on the federal level, this bill will give the DFS the tools necessary to protect our residents.” This legislation would require student loan servicers operating in New York, other than banking organizations and credit unions, to obtain a license from the New York State Department of Financial Services and provide conditions for their operation including prohibited acts and penalties for violations. The bill would also require many entities to accurately report borrowers’ payment performance to at least one consumer credit reporting agency, adopt procedures to improve transparency and fairness in the transfer of borrower information upon the sale or transfer of any student loan, and establish standards for timely response to written borrower inquiries. New York’s student loan debt

burden is over $2 billion and growing. The entities engaged in the management and collection of these debts are regulated by the US Department of Education, but this offers few consumer protections for borrowers. They administer millions of dollars in payments each

year and their business practices have a direct impact on the financial health and well-being of consumers.

Student loan servicers are not presently regulated by the Department of Financial Services (DFS), leaving New Yorkers

vulnerable to the realities of improper and unlawful debtcollection practices and with few options if their rights are violated. This bill would bring these companies under the jurisdiction of DFS to promote transparency and accountability in their dealings with borrowers.

Cultivating Cybersecurity Skills

Compiled by Kitty Merrill

grow our economy, not only through housing and investing in our downtowns, but also by building a skilled workforce, of which Suffolk County Community College is a part. It is important to have the conversation about what we need to grow the workforce, and at this moment, that includes cultivating special skills like knowledge of cybersecurity.”

With cyberattacks a growing threat and a shortage of cybersecurity professionals to protect against them, Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory and Legislator Kara Hahn joined Suffolk County Community College in presenting the L.I. Cybersecurity Conference last month. Within days of the conference, the Town of Brookhaven’s website was hacked by a possibly ISIS-related entity that compromised the site and uploaded propaganda.

The breach underscores the need for more professionals with the skills to prevent hacking.

Held at the college’s Brentwood campus, the conference addressed cybersecurity challenges and the need to develop the workforce required to safeguard digital information. To that end, the college recently announced the launch of a Cybersecurity and Information Assurance Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree program to prepare students for an entry-level career in the cybersecurity field. “Cybersecurity is not some obscure concept anymore; in this digital age, it is an industry of critical importance that we all need to start thinking about,” said Gregory. “This conference began an important discussion about the impact cybercrime can have on our local businesses, which not only must learn to protect vital information from cyber threats, but which are also looking to hire competent cyber professionals. If we want to make sure our graduates can find jobs, their skillset needs to match the needs of our business community, and Suffolk County Community College is addressing this skills gap head on with the birth of its new cybersecurity degree.” Michael Balboni, president and managing director of RedLand Strategies, discussed the most devastating cyberattacks in history and explained that healthcare institutions in particular are frequently the target of hackers because medical data can be easily monetized. He also touched on the

significance of an attack launched by another nation state.

“We think about missiles and tanks and ships, but there are a lot of countries in the world thinking about computers as weapons,” said Balboni, who conveyed the urgency for workforce training. “There is a scarcity of cyber professionals and a need to get the best and brightest into the field.” The conference offered regional businesses the opportunity to network as well as discuss practical steps they can take to protect their companies from identify theft, data breaches, and cyber-related challenges.

“Cybersecurity threats are real; however, we don’t need to live in fear as long as we live smarter about the ways in which we store and share information online,” said Legislator Hahn. “We at the Legislature are doing all we can to

“Suffolk County Community College is assuming a leadership role in the education and training of cybersecurity professionals,” SCCC president Dr. Shaun McKay said. The conference, he said, “is the first of what we envision as an annual gathering of the best and brightest in the industry who will share the latest information and techniques to secure the information systems that are vital to not only e-commerce, but the efficient and orderly function of businesses throughout the county, state and nation.”

Marine 2 Welcomed

Independent / Richard Lewin

Last week “Marine 2” was welcomed to the US Coast Guard Station Montauk. Marine 2 is the result of a unique cooperative effort of the Montauk Fire Department, the East Hampton Town Police Department, East Hampton Town Marine Patrol, and the Department of Homeland Security. The vessel will be used primarily for marine patrols. However, it can also jump into action (in case the DHS needs it) for fire suppression and/or marine ambulance, on a moment’s notice.

Indy Fit

by Nicole Teitler

A Delicious Combination Babylon native and East Hampton resident Christie Hoyt is a woman of many capabilities. Not only does this 31-year-old inspire others on a daily basis through her VIA Barre + Wellness classes but she is a certified sommelier.

We sense a fittingly delicious combination in the future! Thirsty to know more, Indy Fit caught up with the fit chick. How long have you been teaching fitness and what do you teach? After high school I studied holistic medicine and practiced the art of yoga on a daily basis. My first personal training certification was through Hofstra at 19 years old. Over the last 10-plus years, I have ventured into many different types of fitness training. Barre found a very special way into my heart reminding me of all my dance and gymnastic conditioning days. I have developed a very unique approach to the barre technique, including not just barre exercises, but Pilates moves and gliders (core strengthen and stability training with towels on hard surfaces). VIA Barre + Wellness was something I created to provide clients with a unique yet challenging workout experience.

I try to keep my rates affordable knowing that the industry in The Hamptons has gradually increased tremendously. Class rates average around $30 per class whereas private sessions are between $150 and $180. What inspired you to become an instructor? I have been an athlete my entire life. I quickly became interested in human body mechanics when recovering from injury and from progress in endurance and strength during training with my own body. I decided that I wanted to help other people be 76

the best version of themselves. Too many people become caught up in the monotonous routine of life that they forget what is really important, themselves. If I could help change the lives of just a few people for the better, I would feel grateful and fulfilled. Explain how you personally connect the two titles of “fitness instructor” and “sommelier.” Wine was a complete accident! A childhood friend and winemaker in California asked me to visit and attend an event. I quickly fell in love with the culture and the Northern California area and stayed for four weeks! I realized I knew nothing about wine -- I felt an urge to move forward with the learning process. Obtaining a position as a director of a local Long Island vineyard, I continued my sommelier studies in Manhattan twice a week for many years. I am now a level III sommelier hoping to continue to the diploma level of studies.

Having my Wellness + Fitness business, I work part-time as a wine consultant, organizing and maintaining personal wine cellars to clients in The Hamptons. It keeps me involved in the industry and allows me to meet so many incredible people with even greater knowledge. It is very fulfilling. Get creative! Pair a wine with the following workouts: Weights, Barre class, yoga, boxing, and surfing/SUP. Weights and Spanish wine - A big bold Spanish red wine. Specifically Rioja and Priorat, or a bold Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero. Barre and Italian wine - Barre movements are delicate and elegant

just like a good Frappato or Nero d’Avola.

Yoga and Sancerre - Acidic and dry on the palette, perfect after yoga refresher.

Boxing and Northern Rhone varietal either Syrah, Grenache, or Mourvedre, or a blend of all three! Clean, bold, and delicious. A knockout.

Anything salt water and a nice New Zealand-style Sauvignon Blanc light, fresh, and grapefruity. Perfect on a hot summer day. And Rose for any and all of the above! Wolffer Summer in a Bottle or something from Provence, France. What is your personal message to your students? Fitness doesn’t have to feel like a chore, working out can be fun and enjoyable! When you find something that works for you, stick with it. I end all my sessions with a reminder to love yourself and carry positive energy with you throughout the day. It is good practice to stay positive and remind yourself that life is a gift and being good to you is important. I care about my clients and put them first whole heartedly. Is there a workout that you dread doing and avoid at all costs? No. I love moving and I’ll try anything. If I had to choose, I would have to say running long distances only because the trauma when my feet hit the pavement. Too many years of gymnastics! Guilty pleasure food/ drink of summer? I grew up in a big Italian family and splurge whenever my honey makes his homemade marinara sauce and anything he makes with it. When I’m not drinking a glass of wine, I really enjoy a glass of whiskey, specifically Japanese whiskey such as Yamasaki and Habiki on the rocks. Yum. Favorite new fitness trend and a trend you’re glad disappeared. Is barre allowed to be my answer? I love it! It is fairly new, at least the modern adaptation of it is. I have always seen quick results and felt

Christie Hoyt

challenged with each workout. I also love boxing, the new water-filled heavy bags make for a killer workout. Cardio and muscle sculpting, check!

One thing I think has begun to disappear over the most recent years that I am very happy about is dieting. I have come to understand the importance of balance in everything you do. I think most people have caught on to care less about specific diets and more about conscious and healthy choices. Makes me happy. What is your personalbody mantra? Something you say to yourself when you look in the mirror to remind yourself that you are beautiful? “Be True To You.” Being who you are is the most important thing no matter what. It helps me focus on me and to not be afraid of that. If you could be photographed in a single pose to represent your signature workout move, what would it be? Planks! I have been caught reading books and sending emails while planking.

Just Be You: The Revitalized Jessica Bellofatto

By Nicole Teitler

JBYoga, formerly known as KamaDeva Yoga, is the freshly rebranded and redecorated business of fitness extraordinaire Jessica Bellofatto. The studio boasts a roster of new instructors worth doing headstands for, and many have, including Patricia Moreno and Kay Kay Clavio from New York City. In addition to the brick-and-mortar location at 15 Lumber Lane in East Hampton, Bellofatto takes her instructions to “Yoga in the Vines” at Wolffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack and BYogaHive Studio in Montauk. Bellofatto detailed, “The tagline is ‘Just Be You,’ which is just one of the ways in which we can kind of return to our nature, which is happiness and connection.”

In keeping with this ‘just be’ mentality, her signature class is retitled “Just Be Fluid,” something she’s refined over the course of her 25 years as a teacher. The intent

is balance; water, flow, vinyasa, sequencing, and alignment are all interconnected.

Bellofatto remains in tune with not only her teachings and herself but higher powers. The tattoo on her wrist reads Om Namah Shivaya. “[It] is basically connecting to your inner teacher, your higher guidance….one [mantra] that comes up a lot for me in English is ‘Trust and Abundance.’” Now in its second summer, the girls’ paddleboard and yoga camp is continuing strong running several sessions. Monday through Thursday, open to all age groups, the camp lasts three hours a day with many focuses. Paddling skills, water safety, rescue, affirmations, and mantras are critical aspects of Bellofatto’s teachings.

In keeping with a summer camp vibe, crafts are incorporated. Decorating rocks and creating individual special oil blends to take home and aromatherapy are just

some of the many creative processes used in her camps. The unique part of JBYoga SUP Yoga is its mobility. A huge trailer carries 16 paddleboards with anchor boxes ready to go that allow paddlers to drop anchor anywhere they choose.

“We paddle everywhere. We kind of jump around and find different locations,” Bellofatto said. “It’s awesome. We’re not bound to one location -- we’ll say, ‘alright this is a beautiful spot…let’s drop anchor.’”

As a certified lifeguard in addition to paddleboard instructor, Bellofatto teaches all ages and levels how to paddle. Much like her SUP Yoga, her instructions aren’t bound to a single location or group as she teaches adults, kids, private lessons, and group events. Could this be a new bachelorette party idea? Her studio is opened year round but here are some exciting things coming up: This Friday from 6:30 to 9

PM, enjoy Relax & Renew: A Restorative Yoga Workshop with Roey Ficaro. Cost $45.

On Monday will be Yoga & Yacht Sailing: A Summer Day Getaway with lunch and wine on a catamaran. Departing out of Sag Harbor from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM the cost is $350 per person. July 19 – 20 weekend is a 2-Day SUP Yoga Certification for $800 both days.

Tuesdays through August 29 is the Youth & Joy: Kundalini Summer Series 6 to 7:30 PM at the studio with Jen Frasher. $30 for drop ins.

Saturdays and Sundays through September 3 is Yoga on the Harbor at the Rams Head Inn 9 to 10 AM with Jessy Ness. $25 drop-in, $115 for a five-class pack. For more information visit Jbyogastudio.com or Jbyoga.com.

Coast Guard News When I have written in the past

migrate to the new system and the Coast Guard found that coverage was very spotty and could create dangerous delays in dispatching USCG resources to an emergency situation.

As a consequence, in October 2006, the Coast Guard requested that all cellular phone service providers discontinue the *CG service, except in Alaska, and any such calls be routed to the 911 Public Safety Answering Point nearest to where the call originated. Even when it worked, mariners didn’t always know where they were and the USCG had no ready mechanism to determine where they were.

Now, with Rescue 21, this problem has been dramatically reduced and often eliminated, if you are using a VHF radio. Lastly, even when you did reach the USCG, they were the only one aware of your predicament. VHF-16 is, by federal

law, required to be monitored by all vessels equipped with a VHF radio. Another private boater could be much closer to you than the nearest USCG station – and getting the “rescue clock starts now” sequence going may be the difference between life and death. But I Want My Cell Phone OK, skipper, here is the scuttlebutt. First, there is no reliable way to be definitive about cell phone coverage at sea.

Is it better the closer you are to land? Yes, compared to being far away. But cell phone systems are designed for land-based use and the associated physics of how objects absorb and reflect signals. Water is an entirely different kettle of fish, no pun intended. Another agonizing puzzle is when you can see “five bars” on your cell phone but still can’t connect a call … why?

Here is a likely scenario. There is a cell phone tower high up on a hill somewhere and it, with its higherpowered signal, can see you. But your cell phone isn’t strong enough to transmit all the way back to the cell tower. If you are intent on using your cell phone at sea, start looking into external antennas and signal boosters. Some boosters claim, when attached to an external 8’ antenna, that the signal range can extend up to 50 miles. Now, if you are ready to spring for the cost of the external antenna, can I suggest again that you attach a VHF radio to it?

A to Z Auto Radiator

The Technology The worldwide cellular system depends on two things – low power transmission and continual reuse of a limited number of frequencies. This is where the term “cell phone” comes from – you travel from cell to cell, bounded by low-power transmission, and are handed off automatically from one radio frequency to another.

The cell tower is transmitting, usually, at just a few watts and your cell phone is transmitting back at even lower power – as low as 1/1,000th of a watt. It is always lower than 1 watt. (BTW, a handheld VHF radio is transmitting at 5 watts and the desk-top VHF radio is transmitting at 25 watts.)

As you travel towards the edges of adjacent cells, the cell phone tower’s software coordinates the hand-off from cell-a to cell-b. If your boat is disabled and bobbing in the waves, there is no way to move closer to an adjacent cell like your car naturally does. To Take Or Not To Take? Take it, by all means! When it does work, there is no better way to have a private, non-emergency conversation and most USCG and USCGAux vessels are equipped with cell phones for this reason. But, when it comes to an emergency, your VHF radio is the best and fastest way to being rescued!

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.”

DEC Considers Revising Regulations

By Rick Murphy

Assemblyman Fred Thiele said the Department of Environmental Conservation will meet this fall with the commercial fishing industry to discuss revisions to the current regulatory structure for commercial fishing licenses and permits.

on Long Island. The goal will be to reach consensus on changes to licensing and permit procedures that can be introduced as legislation in the 2018 legislative session in Albany which would become effective at the end of 2018.

Generous Community & Corporate Race Supporters:

“The current regulations create major problems that thwart the proper operation of this vital East End industry. I am pleased that the DEC has committed to coming to Long Island and to discuss these issues and to find solutions,” Thiele said.

This session the DEC sought legislation to continue the current fishing license and permit structure through 2020. Thiele objected and raised a multitude of problems that local fishermen were having in getting licenses and permits as well as transferring existing licenses and permits. Assemblyman Steve Englebright, Chair of the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee, supported Thiele’s position. As a result, the bill was revised by reducing the extension from three years to one year until the end of 2018. In the meantime, the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation has agreed to meet with commercial fishermen to discuss licensing and permitting issues. The meeting will occur this fall

“I thank Assemblyman Steve Englebright for recognizing that there are problems with the current regulations. I also thank the DEC for agreeing to meet with Long Island fishermen to solve these problems,” Thiele said.

“Finally, Senator Ken LaValle is to be commended for his unwavering support of the commercial fishing industry in the state senate. I look forward to a productive process that will yield legislation that will better serve our commercial fishermen.”
