number of patients who are suffering from Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome. PTLDS is a condition in which a patient’s symptoms persist or worsen because the patient did not finish their course of medication. These patients begin to suffer from more advanced symptoms such as joint/ muscle pain, headache, brain fogmental cloudiness, facial droop similar to Bell’s palsy, fibromyalgia, depression, and memory changes.

Independent/James J. Mackin Forum attendees expected to discuss deer management. Instead, tick-borne diseases were discussed. Above: A mass of ticks attached to a deer’s ear.

Deer Forum Focus: Ticks

By Justin Meinken

A forum hosted by the East Hampton Village Preservation Society was scheduled two weeks after the East Hampton Village Board mailed surveys to residents requesting their feedback on controlling the deer population. It was believed by many in the standing-room-only crowd last Thursday at St. Luke’s Church to be an opportunity for them to voice their opinions on the issue. In an effort to clarify the purpose of the forum and quell outbursts from the audience, VPS executive director Kathleen Cunningham emphasized, “This is not a forum for discussing the options indicated on the survey,” adding, “We are not here to discuss the methods of

controlling the deer population.”

The forum provided information on tick-borne diseases and also outlined possible preventive methods and treatments. Scott R. Campbell, a Ph.D. from the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, chief of the ArthropodBorne Disease Laboratory for Suffolk County, discussed the three local tick species, the types of pathogens the three species carry, as well as the time required for transmission. Dr. Campbell explained the tick’s need to “blood feed” and he warned the audience of the times in which the ticks are most active and the risk of infection is highest. It’s critical to check oneself regularly after outdoor activities, he warned.

Anna Marie Wellins MD, of the Tick Borne Disease Resource Center of Southampton Hospital, said, “Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease carried by the Blacklegged tick. There are over 300,000 cases reported in US every year.” Dr. Wellins informed the audience that although the DEC says that 70 percent of Lyme disease victims have a rash similar to a bullseye, they have found in practice that the reverse is true. In fact, more than 70 percent of cases do not display any type of rash or bullseye irritation. This is the reason for the difficulty in accurately diagnosing a patient before the disease progresses. The center in Southampton Hospital has been seeing a great

“Children are the most susceptible to tick-borne diseases. Their bodies are closer to the ground and they tend to play outdoors in grassy areas. Young children,” Dr. Wellins said, “are not easily able to verbalize their feelings of illness, making a physician’s ability to quickly diagnosis a child’s symptoms much more difficult.”

Thomas J. Rawinski of the United States Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, a botanist and conservationist studying deer and East End forests, stated that the situation has become a “socioecological crisis.” He went on to say, “The overabundance of deer has created an ecosystem crisis, and the crisis is not just on the East End. Pennsylvania and upstate New York-Harriman State Park are also crisis areas.” According to Rawinski, deerdamaged forests have “diminished biotic resistance to invasive plant species.” Forests can no longer withstand bad weather with high winds and storms. And many nesting birds have also lost their habitats, especially those that nest in low-lying bushes, he said. “We need to recognize that our ecosystems are in jeopardy.”

Although Rawinski spoke briefly about the need for deer management, the forum ended without an actual discussion on the

or enjoy when suffering chronic inflammation. They will discuss how nutritional changes can help minimize or eliminate some symptoms of inflammatory conditions, and how nutritional changes played a key role in Laura’s battle with Lyme disease. They will discuss Lyme disease prevention strategies and outline steps that should be taken to prevent tick bites.

Early this spring, experts warned this could be one of the worst tick seasons in years. That dire prediction has come true, making Lyme disease prevention and treatment critical.

To raise awareness, the motherdaughter team of Laura and Gail Piazza, authors of Recipes for Repair: A 10-week Program to Combat Chronic Inflammation and Identify Food Sensitivities, will be presenting a free educational event about Lyme disease prevention and food-based healing sponsored by the South Fork Natural History Museum on Monday at 5PM.

Gail Piazza has taught Dustin Hoffman how to separate eggs. She’s been a food stylist for Emeril Lagasse’s cookware. She’s developed recipes and tested products for Farberware, All-Clad, and Williams-Sonoma. You may even recognize her from appearances on Food Network. However, the most memorable and inspiring work in her food career is the adventure she’s on right now with her daughter, Laura. “I lived with unexplained chronic symptoms for years until being properly diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2009,” remembers Laura. As she researched Lyme, the younger Piazza came across the book The Lyme Disease Solution by Kenneth B. Singleton, MD, MPH, himself a former Lyme patient. She was impressed with his diet and the results patients were getting from it. But making the changes and preparing the food overwhelmed her. “Luckily, I have a culinary artist in the family,” said Laura. “I asked her to send me the list of foods,” said Gail. “The next day, she sent me back recipes for the first week of meals. It made it so simple, and it was delicious,” Laura enthused.

More Blue-Green Blooms Detected

By Kitty Merrill

Sampling performed by SUNY Stony Brook has confirmed the presence of new cyanobacteria blooms, more commonly known as blue–green algae, at Prestons Pond in Calverton and Wainscott Pond in East Hampton. Earlier this spring, the Harmful Algal Bloom was detected in Wainscott Pond. In Calverton, the HAB is a newcomer this summer. The two water bodies join four others on the East End where blue-green algae blooms have been confirmed: Agawam Lake in Southampton, Maratooka Lake in Mattituck, Mill Pond in Watermill, and Old Town Pond in Southampton.

In all, the DEC lists 48 waterbodies on Long Island and throughout the metro area as marked by HABs notifications and undergoing monitoring.

thurSDAY

HABs may produce floating scums on the surface of the water or may cause the water to take on a paintlike appearance.

Contact with waters that appear scummy or discolored should be avoided. If contact does occur, rinse off with clean water immediately.

Contamination at Lake Agawam, Old Town Pond, and Mill Pond is described by officials as “widespread,” meaning it affects the entire waterbody or most to all of the shoreline. The extent of the bloom in Wainscott Pond is described as “large localized.” In Department of Environmental Conservation lingo, “large localized” is used to describe the rough estimate of the size of the bloom affecting properties within an entire cove, along a large segment of the shoreline or a specific region within the water body. A determination has yet to be made as to the extent of blooms in Preston Pond and Maratooka Lake.

Blue-green algae are naturally

present in lakes and streams in low numbers, but they can become abundant, forming blooms in shades of green, blue-green, yellow, brown, or red. When that happens, contact with the waters can be dangerous. Health officials ask residents not to use or swim or wade in these waters and to keep their pets and children away from the area.

Seek medical attention if any of the following symptoms occur after contact: nausea, vomiting or diarrhea; skin, eye or throat irritation; or allergic reactions or breathing difficulties.

HABs have been detected in nearly 300 water bodies since 2012. To address HABs, DEC works with the NYS Department of Health, NYS Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and other state and local partners. While the exact cause of HABs is not fully understood, blooms occur most often in waters high in phosphorus and/or nitrogen. This spring, the DEC released a new program guide that details

Housing Projects Move Forward

By Kitty Merrill

Community News

As a Suffolk County Legislator, Fleming worked to establish clear lines of communication between legislators and the developers, Georgica Green Ventures, LLC, and the Town of Southampton Housing Authority, as well as other county and town agencies to ensure that the critical need for the project was understood by her colleagues. Sited on CR-52 in the Tuckahoe section of Southampton, the Sandy Hollow project will include three two-story buildings and 28 rental units, with 14 studios, 12 onebedrooms, and two two-bedroom apartments.

“The East End has a critical need for affordable housing to maintain both our economy and our local community,” said Legislator Bridget Fleming. “The sites, which are in transit-oriented locations, further the goal of reducing traffic and supporting the workforce that drives our tourist economy. In light of our community’s desperate need for affordable housing, the hard work by the town, the county, and the developers on these two projects has created a framework that I hope will encourage similar projects in the future.”

“This is exactly the right type of investment we need to make to lure young professionals to the East End and make Suffolk County a more affordable place to live and work,” said County Executive Steve Bellone.

Legislator Fleming advocated for the Sandy Hollow Cove Apartments project for a number of years during her time as a councilwoman on the Southampton Town Board, and co-sponsored the zoning change that made the project possible. The lengthy

Directly adjacent to the train station, the Speonk project will consist of six two-story buildings and 38 rental units. The unit mix will consist of 12 studios, 14 onebedrooms, and 12 two-bedroom apartments, and one manager’s apartment. One building will have a community room and laundry on the ground floor. Both projects offer housing available to residents earning between 50 and 90 percent of average median income.

“The significant financial commitment for Suffolk County is critical to delivering these apartments at an affordable price” said Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman. “Congratulations to Legislator Fleming for shepherding this through the County Legislature.”

26 Years Of Sandcastles

By Elizabeth Vespe

The wait is over. This summer’s annual sandcastle contest kicks off on Saturday. So get the shovels, buckets, brushes, and rakes ready.

But how did this popular contest come about? Well, the first annual East Hampton Sandcastle Contest took place on August 26, 1992, at Atlantic Avenue Beach in Amagansett. The idea came from Clamshell Foundation founder, the late Rossetti Perchik, who was living in Tulsa, OK when he was awestruck by a stunning sandsculpting contest on the banks of the Arkansas River. He knew it was something he had to bring to the East End of Long Island. Ever since then, it has been a huge success and fun for all ages. This year’s contest takes place on Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM at Atlantic Avenue Beach, and will be presented in loving memory of Ross Perchik.

The size of each group is limited to six people to keep the playing field fair for all. There are also five different age groups to enter, so everyone can participate and have a fun beach day. Since the contest began and to this day, groups are $10 each and spectators can enjoy the sandcastle art for free. Bring anything to help build a masterpiece with, as long as only natural beach materials are used in the finished sand sculpture. Judging is based on originality, texture, and quality of work. Trophies will be awarded to all members of the winning teams. Past sculptures can be seen online at www. clamshellfoundation.org, along with registration information. The Clamshell Foundation is a non-for-profit group and all funding ensures continuation of these events on the East End as well as benefiting local people, programs, and projects.

Jerry’s Ink

by Jerry Della Femina

THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD You’ve got your Ted Cruz, Elizabeth Warren, Bill de Blasio, Mitch McConnell, Michael Moore, Oliver Stone, Steve Bannon, and such. Up until now, those creeps were the worst people in the world. But now along comes another horror, and he rips the “Worst Person” title out of their slimy hands. He’s the new worst son-of-a-bitch in the world. He’s a scum bunny named Adrian Abramovich of Miami, Florida. In a recent news story, the FCC alleged that Abramovich was responsible for 96 million spoofed robocalls in the last three months.

As you know, a robocall is when some automated airhead calls and excitedly tells you you’ve won a free or discounted trip to Orlando, Florida – a disgusting city that you wouldn’t be caught dead in unless your kids and

August 2

grandkids are screaming that they will hold their breath until you take them to Disney World.

(Not to totally disparage the sainted Disney – I must confess that in the 1970s in Los Angeles, under the influence of a great deal of cannabis, I, along with a close woman friend who was equally stoned, took what seemed like hundreds of trips on a Disneyland ride where millions of hideous dolls sing “It’s A Small World After All.” You had to be there. It seemed hilarious at the time. But enough of my youthful peccadillos.) Back to Abramovich and those people who were duped by his robocalls.

The FCC said the people who fell for this scam were transferred to call centers in Mexico, where live operators would sell them vacation

“Unfortunately, many unsuspecting Americans are deceived into taking the bait,” said FCC chairman Ajit Pai. “Abramovich reached the most vulnerable Americans, typically the elderly, and bilked them out of their hard-earned money.”

Abramovich was fined $120 million, which was a big disappointment to me. I was thinking more along the lines of the death penalty.

Getting old is tough enough, and when some people start to lose touch with reality, jackals like Abramovich swoop down and steal their money.

Since I estimate I still have about 85 percent of my marbles left, I feel it’s incumbent on me to get even with some of these deplorable pigs who are taking advantage of my fellow elderly citizens. So here’s a wonderful new game I just invented to deal with phone scams, and it’s already given me hours of enjoyment. Those of you with some free time might try it.

You know those fake calls you get where someone claims you owe money and they need your social security number and your bank information? I got one the other day from a Miss Wyman, from something called Accounts Receivable mumble mumble. She needed to talk to me about “an important personal matter.” Her first question was: “Are you Jerry Della Femina?” Now, it’s important that at no time

during this type of call do you say “yes,” because these crooks record you saying “yes” and then go out and purchase things under your name, claiming you said “yes” to give them permission. So I answered, “I may be, but then again I may not be. Who wants to talk to him or me?” Miss Wyman said, “I must know if you’re Jerry Della Femina.”

“Is this because I owe you money?” I answered. “I have my checkbook here – I will send you all the money you want. Where shall I send it?”

Now Miss Wyman was losing patience with me. “Are you Jerry Della Femina? What is your address?” “Oh no,” I answered. “I can give you money, but I can’t give you my address. I’m old and weak and you’ll send someone here to hurt me.” “No one will hurt you,” said Miss Wyman in a shrill voice.

“Please don’t yell at me,” I said. “I’m old. That’s the way my wife yells at me.” “I’M NOT YELLING!” screamed Miss Wyman. “OK, OK, I will give you my name, but first you have to give me something,” I said. “WHAT DO YOU WANT?” she screamed.

“Can I have your social security number to show that you trust me?”

“MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER? YOU WANT MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?!” she screamed.

“Don’t connect me to your supervisor,” I said. “They all connect me to their supervisors, and sometimes the supervisors scream so much that they make me cry.” That’s when she hung up on me.

“Score another one for us old people, you corrupt bastards!” I thought to myself.

Warning: I’ve done this five or six times, and it’s great fun. But make sure you’re alone when you do it. The other day I got a fake call when I was sitting with my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, and she heard my entire act. When I hung up she wasn’t smiling.

“You talk to those people? I should have you committed,” was all she said. If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@dfjp. com.

JCOH: Relevant And Meaningful

By Kitty Merrill

There are a variety of ways to experience and express one’s spirituality. “Judaism embraces and supports that,” Diane Weiner, executive director of the Jewish Center of The Hamptons explained. “In developing our summer programs, we want to offer different modalities through which people can experience Judaism and their spiritual connection to God.”

Each winter, Weiner meets with Cantor Debra Stein (who’s also now a rabbi), plus other members of the JCOH team -- which includes new Rabbi Joshua Franklin -- to develop programs that take a bead on what’s going on in the world, what’s trending socially, and find ways to weave trends or social concerns into JCOH’s programs. “We talk about programs that can be relevant and meaningful,” Weiner explained.

Such new age activities as yoga, meditation, and pursuing a clean diet are back in style right now, and the folks at JCOH are incorporating

them into their calendar.

Prayer yoga each Monday morning at 9:30 AM gives people a chance to delve deeper into the experience of Jewish prayer through postures, chanting, and meditation.

Even more meditation is offered every Friday night, right before the popular Shabbat on the Beach. According to Cantor Stein, JCOH has held the Friday night ritual at Main Beach in East Hampton for over 20 years. More recently Rabbi Franklin added a new component: a meditative walk. “We all live such fast-paced, crazy lives,” Weiner said. “The walk gets us into the mindset and opens us up to welcome Shabbat.” Shabbat celebrates creation, and the day God rested, she explained. The walk helps people recognize it’s time to rest and wind down from the busy workweek. Food plays an integral part in lots of people’s efforts at winding down. The weekly beach Shabbat, the “temple without walls,” is followed

by a chance to picnic and interact with friends by the bonfire. “We invite people to bring a picnic and we supply the s’mores,” said Weiner. The weekly al fresco walk, service, and picnic “build community,” she said, adding, “And they’re a wonderful way to end the work week.”

Tuning in to the global movement, JCOH now hosts meatless Mondays. Weekly cooking classes help clear hurdles inherent in reducing meat consumption. Besides the health benefit, “What better way to honor God than to take care of our bodies?” asked Weiner. The center’s Summer Institute first launched about 15 years ago. Over the years it’s evolved to include “Programs people are looking for that are spiritual, cultural, and intellectual in nature,” the executive director noted.

The Institute boasts a packed agenda of classes, speakers, concerts, and special events. This week’s classes include an exploration of love and

marriage in the Talmud and a course in Hebrew chanting. On Saturday mornings, pop by the center for Kid’ish Club Shabbat. Designed for tots aged six and younger, it’s a morning of music and play.

JCOH’s annual summer luncheon on Friday features guest speaker Alan Alda. On Sunday at 4 PM, a cantorial concert brings together some of the best cantors from congregations in the New York metro area. Cantor Rebecca Garfein from Congregation Rodeph Shalom, Cantor Daniel Singer from Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, and Cantor Kenneth Feibush from Temple Sholom of West Essex will join Cantor Stein in performing a mix of Jewish and secular music. Tickets purchased ahead of time are $25 for members and $30 nonmembers, and tickets at the door the day of are $30 for members and $35 for nonmembers.

Sand In My Shoes by Denis Hamill

Make America (A Police) State Again Donald J. Trump, a failing politician who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington D.C., stood at a microphone in Suffolk County Community College urging thousands of policemen in attendance to physically abuse prisoners. He urged them to violate their oaths to uphold the laws of the State of New York and the United States Constitution that Mr. Trump also swore to uphold at his inauguration last November 20. Skel.

Trump came to SCCC with his cotton-candy hair ray-gunned in place like a yellow bike helmet to speak about the MS-13 gang violence on Long Island, ranting about 4000 unaccompanied immigrant minors in Suffolk County of which seven – or, 0.175 percent -- have been charged with gruesome gang murders. Trump correctly condemned this violent gang and their sadistic handiwork sometimes carried out with machetes. But then in a typical subliterate, near-incoherent stream of consciousness, Trump began hacking away at the United States Constitution like it was an annoying outgrowth of the Washington swamp.

His infamous quote encouraging

SAturDAY

brutality toward suspects blew up the internet: “I said, please -- don’t be too nice.”

“I” being, like, the President of the United States of America saying, like, it’s okay to treat prisoners the same way as do Vladimir Putin of Russia, Recep Erdogan of Turkey, or Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, all strongman autocrats that Trump admires and emulates. Skel.

That’s this tiny man’s idea of making America great. Condemn the press, deride the judiciary, insult the Congress and the intelligence community, blow his sniffling nose into the Constitution, surround himself with more generals than a military junta, and turn the greatest republic in human history into a police state where abuse is a daily tactic. Trump has been on an amazing downhill roll that is starting to look like a Russian bear going ass over head down Ayu-Dag mountain. First, he urged the Boy Scouts to boo our previous president, for which the Boy Scouts organization had to condemn Trump’s hate speech. Then an Italian-American group condemned Trump’s new, now fired, communications director Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci’s profane rant to a New

August 2

Then Trump tweeted that after consulting with his generals, all 15,000 transgender military service members would be drummed out the military – in which not one of three American generations of the Trump family has ever served. Trump might have conferred with the back of his General Mills Kaboom cereal box, but a Pentagon spokesman clarified that no such official order ever came through the chain of command. Then the Suffolk County Police Department tweeted a condemnation of Trump’s remarks: “As a department, we do not and will not tolerate roughing up of prisoners,” adding that SCPD “has strict rules and procedures relating to the handling of prisoners. Violations of those rules are treated extremely seriously.”

Every Suffolk cop knows this. Their previous chief James Burke is doing 46 months in a federal slammer for various crimes, starting with abusing a prisoner.

County Legislator Bridget Fleming also condemned Trump’s reckless SCCC remarks: “As a former criminal prosecutor, I’m offended that the President would suggest that police officers act unlawfully. It cheapens the professional and the difficult work law enforcement personnel are called on to do under the rule of law, day in and day out.” Congressman Lee Zeldin, an attorney and a lawmaker in our NATION OF LAWS, NOT MEN, went on “All In” with Chris Hayes on MSNBC and did a “Dancing with the Stars” audition trying to dodge Hayes’s question: Do you agree with

Trump’s prisoner abuse remarks? Zeldin finally agreed that Trump’s remarks were improper but he rationalized them by detailing MS13’s horrific crimes. Which Hayes acknowledged. But in the USA, our good-guy cops do not imitate the bad guys. We police according to county, state, and federal laws. Which President Donald J. Trump urged cops to break. Like a skel.

Of course he would. So far in the Russian scandal probe, that now has a criminal component, Donald Trump and three of his adult kids and his son-in-law have all lawyered up. So have Trump’s former campaign manager and Vice President, national security adviser, and most of the West Wing staff. The Trumps have hired more criminal lawyers than the Gambinos.

And here was “under investigation” Trump at SCCC urging our cops to jam themselves up by abusing prisoners, which besides being morally wrong is highly illegal. Cops with families could lose their jobs and pensions and face arrest, trial, and jail time. Will Trump be there to pay for their lawyers out of his campaign funds the way he has for himself and his own kids?

You’d have better odds in a Trump casino.

In 1927, Fred Trump was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Queens that escalated into a riot against police. Trump denies that his father was a Klansman, adding that charges were later dismissed. But should a handcuffed Fred Trump – innocent or guilty -- have had his head smashed into the upper frame of the police car by the cops who arrested him? Continued On Page 58.

God isn’t dead after all.

“We are happy the board did this,” said James Boyd, a spokesman for the church.

He lives, or at least his favorite son does, on the Southampton School District official calendar.

Christmas and Easter are back after some members of the community and a local church complained that the holidays had been quietly removed when the district opted to adopt a “culturally sensitive” calendar. Columbus, though, didn’t get the same love from the school board that Jesus Christ did.

The Southampton Full Gospel Church and its pastor, the Reverend Donald Havrilla, had threatened to take the district to court over the matter of restoring religious

SuNDAY

In February the board approved what was called a “culturally sensitive” calendar. That had some parents – and many churchgoers – in a tizzy.

Havrilla said the board approved the minutes of the meeting the day the calendar changed without noting the agenda items, in essence violating its own bylaws. What bothered him more was the fact that some holidays were identified by name in the official calendar though the religious holidays were not.

Boyd said a coalition of church and community members led the infusion of new blood on the board in the last election. He said there are still serious issues that need addressing in the district, most notably a lack of transparency, particularly board procedure before, during, and after executive sessions. “They are not following the law. Executive sessions are not being done they way they should be.”

Transparency, or the lack of thereof, is a continuing problem, Boyd said. Even at the most recent board meeting Boyd said attendees had trouble following the proceedings. “It was very confusing. I wasn’t sure what they did.” There is also the matter of

The board’s president Roberta Hunter said the board has the option of leaving the seat open until the next election in May 2018, appointing a person to the seat, or holding a special election, which could cost the district $20,000. The cost of the special election is a big factor to consider, Hunter said, and a final decision has not been made. Some critics want the public to make the choice, continuing the trend of bringing new blood onto the board; two newcomers were voted onto the board by voters earlier this spring.

State Income Tax Refunds On Time?

By Rick Murphy

short of what was expected,” DiNapoli said. “Taxpayer anticipation of federal tax changes has contributed to the decline.”

State officials this week disputed a recent article in The Independent that the state has been tardy in mailing out tax refunds.

Rather than a check, many citizens received a letter from the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance informing them their filing, “Requires further review and may take up to 90 days.” In addition, several accountants have said a higher than usual number of their clients have complained about the delays.

Not so, said officials at the NYS Taxation and Finance Department. “I was told there is no delay,” said Denise McRedmond of Assemblyman Fred Thiele’s office. “The state audits are handled on a case by case basis.” However, there is a nationwide trend among states to increase audits, especially for those with modest incomes, and the federal

government is also adding another layer of scrutiny to lower-income individuals and couples as well. New York officials do acknowledge the amount of fraud has risen to the point that more audits are needed. “New York State reviews 10 million income tax returns and uses award-winning technology to detect suspicious activity, including identity theft. If your return is selected for additional review, it will take longer for you to receive your refund,” states the NYSDTF website. “If additional review is required, department staffers manually review the return and may send the taxpayer a letter requesting

Springs Fatality A 1989 Porsche suddenly veered off the road in Springs Saturday afternoon and smashed into a utility pole, killing a Nyack man.

East Hampton Town Police said Edward Reich was driving north on Three Mile Harbor Road in Springs near Gardiner Lane with a passenger, Robert Kostro, 54, of East Hampton at about 3:22 when the accident occurred. Police and emergency workers

extricated both men from the crumbled vehicle and raced them to Southampton Hospital. Reich, who was a frequent visitor hereabouts but lives in Nyack, was pronounced dead. Kostro was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital where he was listed in serious, but stable, condition as of press time. Impromptu Swim Southampton Town Police said a Hampton Bays man suspected of driving while intoxicated tried to escape by jumping into Shinnecock Bay and swimming away.

It may not be a coincidence that the state announced last week that tax collections are lagging this year compared to previous years, meaning the state has less cash at its disposal. State tax collections totaled $18.6 billion in the first quarter of the new fiscal year, $1.2 billion less than the same period last year and $315.7 million below projections, according to Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. “We’re three months into New York’s fiscal year and personal income tax collections are falling

The General Fund ended June with a balance of $3 billion, which was nearly $4.2 billion lower than a year earlier but $548.3 million higher than the latest projection. That means the state may not be able to mail out all the refund money that is due to taxpayers because it lacks the necessary cash on hand. A state auditor who is not authorized to speak for his department said to his knowledge the state has not hired additional auditors and that no one in authority has told current auditors to increase their caseload.

Through June 30, all funds receipts totaled $37.7 billion, representing a decline of $680.6 million or 1.8 percent from a year earlier. The drop was primarily due to a drop in personal income tax collected: It’s down $1.5 billion or 11.6 percent.

School District, Town Nearing A Deal

By Rick Murphy

Cantwell.

The East Hampton School District has reached a verbal agreement with the Town of East Hampton to buy a parcel that will become home for a proposed new bus depot.

“We reached an agreement and we are waiting for a contract,” said JP Foster, the President of the East Hampton School Board. “It’s a good-sized lot (almost three acres) and it’s zoned commerical/ industrial, so that’s a real plus.”

The site on Springs Fireplace Road formerly housed the town’s scavenger waste treatment plant but has been completely reclaimed since the plant closed.

“It’s been completely remedied and is certified as buildable,” said East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry

Independent / Rick Murphy This town-owned site on Springs Fireplace Road, former home the town’s scavenger waste treatment plant, may well be the future home of the East Hampton School District bus depot.

The neighbors were serious enough about keeping the depot off the proposed site that they were willing to pony up some money to make the deal happen, insiders told The Independent. “I’ve never officially been told they have money they want to give us,” Foster said. “However, if they want to defray costs and help the taxpayers that would be welcome.”

But the neighbors want assurances the Cedar Street parcel will never be developed if they were to contribute money. “I am not comfortable with that,” Foster said. “I would never tie the hands of future boards.”

The district wants to construct a 10,772-square-foot maintenance facility on Cedar Street replete with two offices, three restrooms, and a lounge for the drivers. There will be spaces for 30 assorted sized buses, 40 maintenance and employee vehicles, and additional space for the personal vehicles of drivers. Foster said another advantage of the Cedar Street location is the village’s fuel facility is two doors down.

Water Views

By Nick DiPasquale

Restoration, Collaboration, And Progress: The Chesapeake Bay Experience The 1960s was a decade of awareness for this nation. Environmental degradation from centuries of industrialization began to manifest itself in significant and obvious ways: rivers catching fire, the nation’s symbol, the Bald Eagle, jeopardized by widespread use of pesticides, air pollution in major cities causing significant health threats.

These events gave rise to the creation of new agencies at the state and federal level and a body of laws and regulations designed to address the most serious environmental threats.

At this time, the Chesapeake Bay was plagued with large fish kills, population declines in oysters, crabs, and rockfish, and large areas of the bay with low or no dissolved oxygen called dead zones. In 1975, Congress authorized a five-year study of the bay to determine the causes of these problems. The results gave rise to the Chesapeake Bay Program in 1983, in which Congress charged the US Environmental Protection Agency with the responsibility of coordinating and supporting the state and federal restoration efforts. The Chesapeake Bay watershed is large – 64,000 square miles – and includes six states (MD, VA, PA,

WV, NY, and DE) and the District of Columbia. Its landscape is diverse, as are its history, political structures, and local cultures. It has a land-to-water ratio of 14:1, five times greater than any other estuary. In the mid-2000s, it was clear that the partnership was not going to meet its water quality goals and the “jurisdictions” – the states and DC – agreed that EPA should establish stricter guidelines.

A total maximum daily load, or TMDL, was set for each jurisdiction to cap their pollutant loadings. Each jurisdiction then determined how and where they would achieve those reductions – wastewater, stormwater, septics, and agricultural runoff.

The partnership also took a comprehensive approach to ecosystem restoration and maintaining healthy watersheds, with goals for restoring habitats and creating sustainable fisheries, for environmental education and citizen stewardship, for toxics and climate resiliency, for land conservation and public access. Progress has been achieved.

We have reached over 50 percent of our goal to restore 185,000 acres of underwater grasses with a significant increase in biodiversity of underwater grass species. Over 37

Anthony Bennett

percent of our waters are achieving the water quality standards. We have preserved an additional one million acres of land, reaching 50 percent of our goal and having over eight million acres of land in the watershed protected. Water clarity has improved. Blue crab and rockfish populations have rebounded. We are restoring the balance and rebuilding resilience back into this ecosystem.

We have learned many lessons along the way. Restoration takes time. Perseverance and maintaining focus is crucial. We are often dealing with impacts that have accumulated over time, in some cases centuries -- we can’t expect to see improvements in a few years or even decades. Eco-systems are dynamic systems -- wide expertise and a flexible mindset is key. Weather patterns, natural cycles, and population growth and development are nonlinear and complicate the data.

It is important to look at indicator data over the long run, to understand the eco-system’s response to intervention efforts. Emerging factors such as climate change, new contaminants such as Personal Care Products (PCP), pharmaceutical byproducts, microplastics, endocrine disruptors, etc. require ongoing consideration.

Rigorous management and accountability systems must guide pollution reduction and restoration efforts. We need to have a set of clearly defined goals and outcomes and put into place mechanisms to track short-term progress and allow for course correction. Progress could not have been achieved without collaboration at the local, state and regional level. It is important to identify corollary benefits and avoided costs that accrue from pollution reduction

2017

efforts. For example, a planted shoreline buffer not only reduces nutrient and sediment water pollution, but also sequesters carbon, improves air quality and reduces the temperature of the water which can be beneficial to a cold-water fishery. In urban areas, proper management of stormwater through the use of green infrastructure can reduce flash flooding, recharge groundwater, and re-establish the base flow of streams. Proper storm water management also reduces the cost of infrastructure repairs to roads and sewer lines, minimizes dredging, property damage, and business interruptions – reducing the tax burden on individuals and businesses alike. The 64,000-square-mile Chesapeake Bay watershed experience can be replicated in smaller and larger watersheds, like those on the East End. The same principles apply. The laws of nature are immutable.

Although it sounds simplistic, to be successful, you must identify the sources of nutrient pollution and work methodically to reduce them in a fair, equitable, and cost effective manner. It is important to have a governance structure that represents all of the interests involved and affected by the effort. Likewise, it is critical that there be a management and accountability system that stays focused on making progress by setting both long range goals and incremental targets. This type of restoration effort is not for the faint of heart. It takes time, it takes money, and it takes perseverance. Ecosystem restoration is an evolving science. We continue to learn from our own experiences and from those of other restoration efforts. Nick DiPasquale is the chair of the management board of the Chesapeake Bay Program.

Freshman Year, A Guide

By Elizabeth Vespe

College can be the most exciting time in a young adult’s life, but freshman year can also be one of the most confusing and nerve racking. Before rushing off to the dorm and leaving mom and dad behind, remember these tips to stay on your “A” game. College is a clean slate. It is a time to start fresh, forget about high school drama, and strive for greatness in the future.

Rule number one: attend all college orientations. Take as many campus tours as possible to feel at ease. It’s also a great way to meet other first year college students. Plus, no one wants to get lost on their first day. Don’t skip class. It is tempting to skip early morning classes, but avoid the temptation. Every lecture

tuESDAY

comes with vital information for the semester and it is easy to fall behind.

It is so important to get to know the professors and academic advisors. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind and even build a relationship with a few who have similar interests. They’re only there to help so take advantage of their office hours. Also network with fellow students and make connections.

Don’t feel extreme pressure to declare a major right away. There is time to figure out what the future holds and discover interests. Clubs and extra curriculars are a perfect way to meet people with similar interests. Knitting club? Greek life? Music society?

Your Kid Is Leaving You, Now What?

As July comes to an end, and everyone clings to the last month of summer, the school year looms just around the corner. For parents of incoming college freshman this is unchartered and murky territory. Having your child move out, whether it is across town or across the country, is difficult. Your family dynamic will forever change, and all you can do is sit by and watch as the tuition bills pile up. Here are some tips to help tackle moving your child out of your house and into their future while still maintaining some of your sanity.

Be prepared to pack way more than you think that they will ever need. Long gone are the days of

going to college with a trunk and an overnight bag. Today’s dorm shopping is more difficult than shopping for a 4 bed/2 bath house. Finding things that fit regulations, while also fitting into a shoeboxsized room, is a huge challenge. Make sure before buying any electronics that they conform to the school’s fire regulations. Schools often send a list of approved appliances, which is a helpful start. You must understand that the first few weeks will arguably be the busiest weeks of their lives. They might not have time to call you and fill you in on every detail. “Not hearing from them is difficult, but it is also a blessing knowing that they are too busy having fun to be worrying about calling you,” stated

This Sunday is the annual Comic Extravaganza hosted by Nancy Siberkleit of Archie Comics. The Comic Extravaganza will be an admission free event with many comic vendors from all over the world. The vendors will feature everything from graphic novels to comic strips to Japanese manga. There will also be exclusive memorabilia and collectibles from their respective comics. Empire City Garrison, Archie Comics, and Valiant are just some

of the vendors expected to attend. Empire City Garrison is known primarily for the “501st Legion” which is a group of Stormtroopers from the Star Wars franchise that keeps the peace in the New York area. Though the Empire City Garrison is relatively new, they’ve grown quite popular and have even made appearances on Spike TV.

Founded in 1939, Archie Comics has been producing comic books for 78 years. They’ve published works of fiction from many genres, such as comedies, adventure series, crime,

and horror stories. Archie Comics has also published the immensely popular series, “Archie” and the comics are still running today.

Valiant was founded in 1989 by former Marvel Comics editor-inchief, Jim Shooter and business lawyer, Steven Massarsky. Continuing their superhero genre background, Valiant has published comic series like “Harbinger” and “Bloodshot” which, after a recent partnership with Sony Pictures, are expected to be recreated as films.

Tovah Feldshuh has had a run of back-to-back television successes in recent years. She portrayed Deanna Monroe, head of Alexandria, in the hit AMC series “The Walking Dead,” was seen on Starz as the Russian ballet mistress, Ivana, on “Flesh & Bone,” and sang the dignified showstopper “Where’s the Bathroom?” on CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” where she played Naomi Bunch, Rebecca’s mother.

Right now, she’s bringing her onewoman cabaret and comedy show, Aging is Optional, to Bay Street in Sag Harbor on Saturday as part of the theater’s Comedy Club series. For those who know her from TV, that might seem out of character, but Feldshuh is known for her comedic work as much, if not more so, than her serious turns.

Musings With Giancarlo Esposito

By Bridget LeRoy

conversation with Tovah Feldshuh, and the similarities – both of them having a long and illustrious career and then being catapulted to a new level of fame in AMC shows – brought a smile to Esposito’s face. “I’ve known Tovah since the early days when we used to tread the boards, my background is New York theater,” he said.

This week, Indy profiles two wonderfully gifted actors with a lifetime of brilliant acting roles behind them, who have, in just the past few years, become known to audiences worldwide in a way only a handful of thespians ever get to experience. Both of them are from AMC smash hits – Tovah Feldshuh from “The Walking Dead,” and Giancarlo Esposito, best known as the Chicken Man, Gustavo Fring, on “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” – the immaculate owner of a chicken franchise who, on the side, is a villainous drug lord not to be messed with. But Los Pollos Hermanos aside, Esposito has acted in hundreds of films and TV shows, not to mention his time on and offBroadway as well. His directorial debut, Gospel Hill, premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival in 2008; The Show is his second turn as director, and offers a just-around-the-corner look at the horrifying future of reality TV.

Esposito voices the Narrator on Netflix’s “Dear White People,” had a role in the Baz Luhrmann series “The Get Down,” also on Netflix, and can be seen, again on Netflix, in Okja, a fantasy film with a twist by the South Korean director Bong Joon-ho.

Esposito has just finished filming The Gift, “a small independent film, with Patrick Stewart as a concert pianist who is experiencing something of a comeback, but first has to overcome anxiety and depression and memory loss due to the death of his wife,” Esposito – who plays Stewart’s manager – said. “It’s a musical piece, I chose to do it because it deals with mental illness, but it’s also very poetic. It was a great experience.” The subject matter of The Show, which was originally titled This is Your Death, appealed to Esposito as a director enormously. “The film is an unflinching look at reality television. I thought it was time to take a look at the sensationalist television that we’ve been making and that people have been enjoying. We wouldn’t be making it if it didn’t have a gratifying effect on the audience. Most of the time, the unscripted shows are scripted to a point – they’re spontaneous but there’s an idea behind it, driven by a certain feeling or by money or sensationalistic values. I wanted to make a film that took a look at all that. It’s the right time for the film, and I’m hoping that people get a chance to see it.” Even though Esposito has played hundreds of characters, it is his portrayal of Gus Fring which

has pushed him into a place of worldwide recognition. Why has Gus gained the public’s adoration? “I don’t call him a villain in my book,” Esposito said. “He’s a good businessman, he cares about people, he’s affable, he gives to the Fun Run – he could be your nextdoor neighbor. That was my idea creating this character alongside Vince [Gilligan]. It was supposed to be a guest spot, I didn’t even expect to be asked back. I didn’t want to be a regular. But I had a long conversation with Vince, who welcomed the ideas I had, and I went back and did ‘Breaking Bad.’ Now there’s Bob Odenkirk’s ‘Better Call Saul,’ the prequel to ‘Breaking Bad,’ and I just appeared in the third season on that, and will be back for the fourth,” he continued. Gus’s return was much heralded on “Better Call Saul,” in fact, the first letter of each of the titles of the second season episodes spelled out FRINGSBACK, a tip of the hat to the franchise’s most popular villain appearing in the show’s third season.

“I think people see a man who is not your average nefarious bad guy, petting the puppy. Gus really does care about people on a certain level, he’s a giver. He’s a taker too, but he gives to people, he supports them. So I think that’s the appeal of Gus.” Bringing up Indy’s recent

As far as the constant recognition, “It changes your life a bit. I have done some of the comic cons in the past to please the fans. It does complicate your life, because you’re stopped everywhere you go. To sum it up for me,” he said with a laugh, “I’m jealous of Gus, because everyone recognizes him but sometimes don’t even know my name. But that’s good – it separates me from the character. That’s the guy that everyone knows, and they don’t know that I’m not that guy. That’s actually helped me keep the two separate. That’s not who I am. But if it gives them pleasure to see me in an airport and ask for a selfie, that’s great. As a friend of mine says, ‘You are known for who you are not.’” So who is the real Giancarlo Esposito? He does yoga and meditates regularly, and appeared in a full-length documentary On Meditation. “That’s the real me,” he said. Esposito frequents inner-city schools to talk to children about meditation and “understanding their own divine light,” he said.

“It’s so hard to see that sometimes, especially when so many of us, including kids, are horrified or feeling hopeless by the direction our world is taking. But if they understand that they can go to this place inside, to center themselves, and then bring that peace forward, it’s a real gift. People say to me, ‘Oh, you’re always flying different places, you’re always working’ like it’s a bad thing. I’m so grateful. I love what I do, I get to do what I love, and as long as I stay centered, I’m happy.” Esposito will be back in the fourth season of “Better Call Saul.” In the meantime, you can get your Gus on with AMC’s “Breaking Bad” marathon on Sundays, or enjoy the third season of “Better Call Saul” on Amazon for some preHeisenberg Fring action.

Margaret Hayes Honored

information about headline events in the world of business. We also host two major award celebrations each year. The Rising Star Awards recognizes the accomplishments of emerging creative talent, while our annual Night of Stars red carpet dinner and awards ceremony honors the achievements of outstanding individuals in about 12 industries, including among others, fashion, beauty, architecture, and business.

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

Margaret Hayes is currently president and CEO of Fashion Group International, Inc. The non-profit, founded nearly 88 years ago, was the first of its kind -- created by and for women. The organization produces runway trend presentations, seminars, business symposiums, and special events as a resource of information for the fashion and design-related industries including apparel, accessories, beauty, interior, and home design.

Where did you get your start in the fashion industry?

She is a seasoned, senior-level merchandising executive with over 28 years of experience, at largevolume department and specialty stores. Prior to joining FGI, she served as a senior vice president and general merchandise manager at Saks Fifth Avenue.

In retail! I spent some years at Bloomingdale’s as a buyer in cosmetics and fragrance. I later moved on to Saks Fifth Avenue where I rose through the ranks, ending up as a general merchandise manager with several fashion, accessory, and cosmetic divisions reporting to me. I loved working in retail and, as it turned out, the experience gave me a good foundation for taking on the leadership role at Fashion Group.

Hayes is the recipient of numerous humanitarian and business leadership honors awarded by the Fragrance Foundation, the American Cancer Society, the American Jewish Committee, City of Hope, the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, as well as the prestigious “La Medaillè de la Ville de Paris” awarded in 2000. On Saturday evening Hayes will also be honored at the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation’s A Hamptons Happening in Bridgehampton. For tickets and more info visit www. waxmancancer.org.

Tell us about your involvement with the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation and your thoughts about the importance of cancer research. As a cancer survivor myself, cancer research is not only philosophically critical, but has been vital to me in the course of my own life. I do, in fact, support many cancer research initiatives and am so pleased, proud, and honored to take part in A Hamptons Happening and look forward to a day that is certain to be inspiring, rewarding, and yes, fun!

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in the fashion industry?

Independent/Courtesy Margaret Hayes

What are you looking forward to most at this year’s event? I am looking forward – with great pleasure – to being with my fellow honorees at this worthiest of events, to spending time with the friends I’ve invited to join me, to making new friends, to enjoying the sumptuous treats at the food stations, and to having a truly lovely day in beautiful Bridgehampton. And, perhaps most of all, having a part in fundraising efforts toward the treatment and cure of cancer. Tell us a little about Fashion Group International. Fashion Group is the first non-profit professional fashion

organization founded by and for women. Well over a decade ago, we started accepting men into the membership which has turned out to be very positive for us. As a matter of fact, our first male member was the great designer Arnold Scaasi. We’re an international organization with about 5000 members; men and women working in the fashion and design-related industries in 28 regions across the United States and abroad. What’s the main focus of Fashion Group?

It depends on what the goal is. If it’s design, for example, we tell all our Rising Star design competitors to follow the advice of a man [Winston Churchill] who knew something about failure and victory, which is to “never, never, never give up.”

issue. A large majority of audience members seemed surprised by the inability to ask questions and there were several audible protests from the crowd.

East Hampton Town Board candidate and head of the town’s nature preservation committee, Zach Cohen, was also in attendance at the forum. Cohen seemed very surprised by the decision to avoid addressing deer management and instead focus on tick-borne disease education. He stated that he planned on obtaining a copy of the survey to “see what types of questions and methods the village might be proposing because deer management is necessary throughout all of East Hampton Town.” According to updated statistics from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation there has been an increase in deer-related vehicle collisions. In 2016, there were 475 collisions in East Hampton, and the number is expected to be higher in 2017.

ShellArt

Since the early 1970s, Pauline Fotopoulos has collected seashells and created unique and breathtaking works of art. Using local shells, Pauline was able to create sculptural shell compositions on canvas, letting her imagination take control.

“I have always said that my hands have brains. They can see art before I know what I am making,” said Pauline at an interview in her home and studio in Montauk. Her daughter Daisy commented that “the shells were a medium that she loves because they are real, genuine, natural, and timeless.”

Pauline’s collection of nearly 50 ShellArt compositions graces the walls of her home, which doubles as her art studio. “The lighting is so nice here that it really emphasizes the work’s natural beauty,” Daisy said. Her style involves nature in every aspect. Whether it is making sculptures from chestnuts, or creating flower designs out of seashells,

Pauline’s creative spirit shines in her artwork.

As well as creating ShellArt, Pauline makes jewelry from semi-precious gemstones. Although her work is gorgeous, Fotopoulos has only sold her work privately up until now.

“We feel as though the world is ready to see the work that she has been doing over the past 40 years,” Daisy said during Indy’s tour of the home art studio.

They will be hosting an artist studio home reception on Saturday and Sunday, August 19 and 20, from 2 to 7:30 PM. All are invited to attend the event at 28 Farrington Place in Montauk, and you can also view her work at the Montauk Artists Association’s annual fine arts show on Friday, August 18.

FAVORITE SPOTS:

The atmosphere at Red Bar Brasserie is always fun and inviting. And the food is delicious – a great combo! Every beach in The Hamptons is beautiful as far as I am concerned, but Flying Point is the beach our kids grew up on, so it’s very special to me. My husband and I still take long walks there in the late afternoon, and we never get tired of the beauty of the ocean. The Southampton Farmers Market on Sundays has a variety of foods, wines, and crafts. It’s a lot of fun to see the new and different foods they offer each week, and I always sneak a few samples! Ted’s Deli, which is now run by his son Tom, gets a visit from my husband every morning we are out East. They chat for about 30 minutes, and catch up on all the local news while I wait for him

The Artists Of The Springs

Young Jackie

The Springs Improvement Society, keepers of Ashawagh Hall in historic Springs, presents the 50th annual Springs Invitational art exhibit. Originally known as “The Artists of the Springs,” this popular show dates back a half-century to when Jackson Pollock and friends gathered in August during the annual Fisherman’s Fair and raffled art for the benefit of Ashawagh Hall. The show runs Friday through August 20. An opening reception will be held Friday from 5 to 8 PM.

“Young Jackie on the South Fork” explores the early life of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and her pastimes in The Hamptons as captured through the lens of society photographer Bert Morgan. Curated and presented by the East Hampton Historical Society, this collection of timeless images of young Jackie Bouvier are reminiscent of a bygone era, synonymous with the romantically rich history of The Hamptons. An opening reception will be held on Friday from 6 to 8 PM. The show runs through October 8.

of its sixth annual art show for the benefit of the Association on Saturday. The show highlights artists with roots in Amagansett and environs and takes place in a barn where art and antique carriages successfully co-exist. Among the artists included are Nicole Bigar, Rossa Cole, Lucy Cookson, Elliott Erwitt, Alice Hope, Kate Davis, Vincent Longo, Christa Maiwald, Pamela Morgan, Claire Nivola, Susan Wood Richardson, Michelle Stuart, and many others. The exhibition was curated by Elena Prohaska Glinn, Jeanie Trusty Stiles, Isabel Carmichael, and Nina Gillman. An opening reception is from 5 to 7 PM. The show is on display through September 3. Lens To Eye To Hand The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill presents “From Lens to Eye to Hand: Photorealism 1969 to Today,” a survey of an important contemporary art movement spearheaded by artists who employed a groundbreaking creative process to embark upon a new way of seeing and depicting the world. On view Sunday through October 15, the exhibition features 73 paintings and works on paper by 35 artists -- from early practitioners to second and third generation photorealists -- demonstrating that this movement remains undiluted, conceptually coherent, and consistently compelling. The exhibition brings together, for the

first time in the United States, important paintings from public and private collections, and a series of watercolors and works on paper never before exhibited in an American museum. Clothesline Art Sale Guild Hall in East Hampton presents its annual Clothesline Art Sale on Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM. Since 1946, nearly 400 artists enter the sale each year with their work, attracting thousands of art lovers.

Where did you come up with the idea for Baked in Color? Color had emerged as a hot trend across so many food and dessert categories but the only cookies offered in color were macarons and sugar cookies. I love the look of the rainbow bagels, and thought I could translate that concept to chocolate chip cookies. I had a fabulous recipe from my days running a cookie company at Cornell, and I knew I had something that was trend right and potentially fantastic. How do readers purchase your cookies in The Hamptons?

Recipe Of The Week by Chef Joe Cipro

Brussels Sprouts And Crispy Potato Hash With Poached Egg And Hollandaise Ingredients (serves 4)

1 dozen eggs

4 slices of brioche bread (toasted) 1 lemon (juiced) 1tbsp hot sauce

1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 shallot

Â˝ lb clarified butter

salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste 1 tbsp white vinegar Method First in a small saucepan melt the Â˝ lb of butter on medium heat until the milk solids rise to the top. Skim off the white milk solids to make your clarified butter. Now in a medium size pot, put the diced potatoes into cold water and bring to a boil for two minutes, then shut the heat off and let them sit in the hot water for another five minutes.

Jam

2 sweet potatoes (diced)

2 white potatoes (diced) 1 onion (sliced thin)

1/2 lb Brussels sprouts (quartered)

Hampton

Company

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

www.hamptonjam.com

Strain the potatoes reserving some of the hot water in a small pot for the double boiler you will need to make your hollandaise. To make the hollandaise, you need to separate six of the egg yolks and place them in a metal bowl to be cooked carefully over the double boiler.

You will need to constantly whisk the eggs so that they cook but do not scramble, once the egg yolks start to thicken, drizzle in a little bit of the clarified butter. Now that the eggs are cooked and thickened up place the shallot, mustard, hot sauce, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a blender cup, turn it on high, then add the egg and slowly drizzle in the clarified butter until you have a nice thick and creamy hollandaise. In a large saute pan you will saute

all the ingredients for the hash.

Start with a very hot pan and the remainder of the clarified butter, then add the onions and potatoes. Once they get some color add the Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper. After sautĂŠing for about 10 minutes reduce the heat to a simmer and add a bit of water, then cover the pot and stir every couple minutes or so. To poach our eggs we need to bring a small pot of water to just under a boil and add the white vinegar. Then carefully crack four eggs into the water and let them cook for five minutes. While the eggs are cooking spoon equal amounts of hash into 4 bowls, place the brioche toast on top and then finish each with a poached egg and a spoonful of hollandaise sauce.

A Hamptons Happening

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

treatments for patients.

The 13th annual A Hamptons Happening, benefiting the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation, will be held on Saturday evening. Guests can expect an intimate performance by Grammy-nominated singersongwriter Rufus Wainwright as well as a performance by Sophie Beem, a protégé of Beyoncé, along with tastings from some of the top chefs and restaurants in New York City and The Hamptons.

Many local sponsors have also stepped up to the plate, collaborating to help fund science’s quest for a cancer cure. Those at the forefront are Keith’s Nervous Breakdown cocktail mix, Pottery Barn Southampton, and WilliamsSonoma Bridgehampton.

Collaborating with WilliamsSonoma, Brittany Torres — founder of Hamptons Handpoured, a local candle company — donates a portion of the sales from her candles at WS’s Bridgehampton location to the foundation. “Candles are soothing by nature. The idea that monies made from the sale of this product, that brings comfort, going to a greater cause, made sense to me,” said Torres. “[Last] year, the foundation was celebrating their 40th Anniversary

Independent/ Tom Fitzgerald and Pam Deutchman / www.society-in-focus

and I immediately knew I wanted to donate 40 percent of the proceeds from our Bridgehampton candle. The campaign was called ‘40 for 40.’ With the immense support of Shari Courbois of Williams Sonoma and her team, the partnership has sustained for over a year now and hopefully many years to come,” she continued. Participating restaurants and chefs include the 21 Club, Bareburger, Calissa, David Burke at Bloomingdales, Centro Trattoria and Bar, Delicatessen, Eataly, the Golden Pear, Manna, Neuman’s Kitchen, Oreya, Saaz Indian Restaurant, Salt & Bone, Scotto’s Pork Store, the Seafood Shop, Chef Barret Beyer, and the Union League Club.

Guests with a sweet tooth can enjoy treats from Candied Anchor, Clarkson Avenue Crumb Cakes, Erica’s Rugelach, Magnolia Bakery, and Southfork Bakery.

Performers from the National Circus Project will return to the event to delight attendees with their whimsical presence and magic tricks. Sip on beverages provided by Doña Sarita Mezcal, Moët, Montauk Brewery, Montauk Hard Whiskey, Palm Bay International, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka. The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated

to curing and preventing cancer. The Foundation is a pioneer in cancer research and its mission is to eradicate cancer by funding cutting-edge research that identifies and corrects abnormal gene function that causes cancer and develops minimally toxic

This year’s event is chaired by event co-founder Marion Waxman and co-chairs Karen Amster-Young, Chris Arlotta, Jake Croman, Erica Linden-Fineberg, Jacob Frisch, Jessica Mackin-Cipro, Jennifer Saraf Myles, Jake Taub, and Erin Jennifer Woudsma.

Through the Foundation’s collaborative group of worldclass scientists, the Institute Without Walls, investigators share information and tools to speed the pace of cancer research.

Poetry Contest Will Southampton Hospital Benefit The Lustgarten Summer Party Foundation By Nicole Teitler

A poetry contest will benefit the Lustgarten Foundation for pancreatic cancer research and cure. “After my mother’s death from pancreatic cancer, which I knew nothing about before her death, I began to pay attention to cases of pancreatic cancer,” recalled Virginia Walker, who has launched the competition to help the Lustgarten Foundation. “One by one, poet friends from the East End community succumbed to this deadly cancer which has a six percent survival rate.” The urgency to do something about this struck Professor Walker when she and Michael Walsh were working on a book of their poetry. “I discovered that Antje Katcher from our East End Poetry Workshop at the Southampton library was dying of pancreatic cancer. Both Michael and I loved her and her poetry. I asked Michael if we could take all the money from sales of our book, Neuron Mirror, and give that to the Lustgarten Foundation. He agreed.”

the Lustgarten Foundation. The book is dedicated to four East End poets who died of pancreatic cancer: Robert Long, Siv Cedering, Diana Chang, and Antje Katcher. The book has raised over $9000 for the charity.

As a final fundraising effort, Walker has asked three award-winning poets, George Held, Mindy Kronenberg, and Carole Stone, to judge the contest, which is open to adults over 18, and closes September 9. There will be an awards ceremony at the Onyx Theater in Oakdale on November 18. Empathy is the theme for the poetry contest submissions. Poems must be accompanied by a check to the Lustgarten Foundation for $20. Send entry to Virginia Walker, PO Box 1032, Shelter Island Heights, NY 11965. Your donation will be acknowledged. Go to www. neuronwalker.com for all rules.

Southampton Hospital will host its 59th annual Summer Party this Saturday from 6:30 to 11 PM under beautifully decorated, airconditioned tents at the corner of Wickapogue and Old Town roads in Southampton.

The evening will benefit Southampton Hospital’s Jenny and John Paulson emergency department, the sole provider of emergency care on the South Fork which treats more than 25,000 people annually.

Enjoy an hour of cocktails until 7:30 PM, followed by dinner, catered by Lawrence Scott Events. Groove Society will provide the music -- in addition there will be a silent auction and a $25,000 cash prize raffle.

Benefit chairs this year are famed playwright Terrence McNally and attorney-turned-musical-producer,

Tom Kirdahy, along with former Saks Fifth Avenue president Marigay McKee (who founded MM Luxe Consulting) and Bill Ford, CEO of General Atlantic.

Honorary Chairs include philanthropist Georgina Bloomberg and Robert Chaloner, president and CEO of Southampton Hospital. This year’s corporate chair is Douglas Elliman Real Estate, whose chairman Howard Lorber is the president of the board of trustees of the Southampton Hospital Foundation.

Table sponsorships begin at $7500 and tickets are $500 per person.

expand its current facility from 5000 square feet to 10,000 square feet. The expanded space will allow for the integration of primary care as well as mental health services. A new, and third, sober house will be added to expand the housing component of the continuum. The funding will cover structural design, renovation, and equipment costs.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s national survey on drug use and health, 23.5 million people aged 12 and older needed treatment for substance abuse in 2009. Of them, only 2.6 million received treatment at a specialty facility.

On the East End, addressing the issue is particularly challenging. According to statistics provided by Eastern Long Island Hospital, which runs Quannacut addiction services, the Riverhead/Hampton Bays area reflects a particularly high level of need. Due to its relative geographic isolation, patients often travel up to three hours to receive care. The isolation is also believed to drive a high level of substance use.

since 2001. A $1.6 million grant announced last week will help expand ELIH’s current addiction program in the Town of Riverhead, enabling it to better meet and enhance the medical/primary health care needs of individuals at risk for alcohol and/or substance use by providing primary care, mental health screenings, treatment, and follow-up care.

“By expanding Eastern Long Island Hospital’s current treatment center and co-locating both primary care services and mental health services in the same facility, this project supports a transformational change within the healthcare system, and increases access to services for ‘at risk’ populations within Suffolk County,” Paul J. Connor III, president/CEO explained.

“The additional housing resource will greatly aid us in the battle against minimal and substandard housing that all too often sabotages recovery efforts,” said David Cohen, director of Quannacut outpatient services in Riverhead. Behavioral health services have been expanding at ELIH since 1989 when the hospital first opened a 20-bed inpatient alcohol and rehab unit to meet the growing need for addiction services on the East End of Long Island. ELIH first opened an 18-bed mental health unit in 1983. In the summer of 1992, ELIH merged its psychiatry services with SUNY Stony Brook.

The tour’s five houses depict change choices that range from minor to radical. A house owned for many years by an architectural historian and more recently an archeologist and a designer reveals 230 years of incremental change. Known as the “brother” to the more popular Havens House, the home was featured in an article in the Wall Street Journal. A Lincoln/Mercury dealer built the next house on the tour, a one time Tudor-style manse with a five-car garage overlooking Dering Harbor. Current owners re-envisioned the property with an extensive renovation that included repurposing a driveway as a patio. The owner of the next home describes her house as an “ocean liner.” The small 1960s-era ranch has been transformed into a monument to Art Deco, both inside and out.

The venerable Dering Farm was completely rebuilt by its current owners. Using original plans and salvaged materials, they worked with a local architect to find ways to show the farm’s provenance and celebrate its history.

Finally, an award-winning local architect and design team demonstrate another way to live with history. They’ve taken two preexisting buildings – one a singleroom 1920s cottage – and created

Elliman Report: Real Estate Numbers Are Good

By Rick Murphy

sold increased 22.8 percent to 689; days on market was 150, down from 170, another indicator of a rising market. The listing discount declined slightly.

Douglas Elliman’s second quarter report indicates an active and improving real estate market throughout the East End.

Elliman, the largest brokerage firm in the New York Metropolitan area and the fourth largest residential real estate company nationwide, noted an uptick in sales with a declining inventory – a surefire recipe for values to rise. “Sales activity in The Hamptons has been quite robust after a somewhat lackluster two years, along with a continued decline in inventory. What’s most interesting is that we are seeing more sales at the upper end of the market, something that was lacking last year,” said Scott Durkin, the COO of Douglas Elliman. “The North Fork showed a similar pattern. Both markets had noticeable improvement.” “After an underperforming 2016, the first two quarters of 2017 showed a pronounced increase in activity in The Hamptons, with sales at their highest levels in two years,” said Jonathan Miller of

On the North Fork shrinking inventory and shorter marketing times were key characteristics. Independent/Courtesy elliman.com Lasata, the Further Lane estate in East Hampton where Jackie Kennedy spent her summers as a child, is available. The asking price is $47 million.

Miller Samuel, Inc., the author of the report.

It wasn’t just the East End, either. According to Elliman the Long Island market to the west saw rising sales and falling inventory for an unprecedented 10 consecutive quarters.

The data analyzed revealed numbers from the first two quarters of 2017 showed pronounced sales increase over the same time frame a year earlier. Inventory slipped annually for the eighth consecutive quarter, an indicator that prices will rise and indeed, the price trend indicators

have begun to move upward.

Median sales price increased 5.6 percent in The Hamptons, to $1.03 million. The average sales price rose 12.7 percent to $ $1.9 million. Units

The number of sales rose year over year for the fourth time in five quarters, and price trend indicators moved higher as inventory declined.

The median sales price rose three percent to $551,000. The average sales price increased 4.6 percent to $726,350. The number of sales increased 3.9 percent to 181.

To Study Textalyzer

By Kitty Merrill

Between 2011 and 2015, 12 people were killed in New York State and 2784 people were injured in cell phone-related crashes, according to a December 2016 report by the Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research.

During that time, 1.2 million tickets were issued for cell phone violations statewide. A total of 217,021 tickets were issued for cell phone violations in 2015, down 16 percent from 2011. Of the tickets given in 2015, 39 percent were for texting.

But the fact is, police have to actually see a motorist texting before they can issue a ticket, and that can be tricky. Trickier still, determining if texting might have been the cause of an accident. Last week, Governor Andrew Cuomo took action that may reduce the incidence of texting-related crashes. He directed his traffic safety commission to study the efficacy of “Textalyzer” technology. The so-called Textalyzer is designed to detect whether a cell phone was used immediately before a crash. The committee will hear from advocates who support this technology along with other stakeholders and issue a report on its findings.

“Despite laws to ban cellphone use while driving, some motorists still continue to insist on texting behind the wheel -- placing themselves and others at substantial risk,” Governor Cuomo said. “This review will examine the effectiveness of using this new emerging technology to crack down on this reckless behavior and thoroughly evaluate its implications to ensure we protect the safety and privacy of New Yorkers.” Terri Egan, executive deputy commissioner of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and acting GTSC chair, said, “New York has long been on the forefront of taking steps to protect drivers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians. We were the first state to adopt a motorcycle helmet law, a seat belt law for front seat passengers, and a cell phone law. We want to make sure we consider all the impacts of the technology carefully to best ensure public safety and effective 66

enforcement of the law. We try very hard to send the message that texting or talking on the phone while driving is a risk no one should be taking through both enforcement and educational campaigns.” Texting and driving is illegal in 47 states plus the District of Columbia.

The Textalyzer, made by the company Cellebrite, plugs into the cell phone via a cord. After a crash, it could show police which apps were open on the phone. It could give the source of a message, a time stamp, and whether the call was incoming or outgoing. Draft state legislation calls for field testing of cellphones after accidents, using the Textalyzer like police use the Breathalyzer during suspected drunk driving traffic stops. Critics worry the use of a Textalyzer would be an invasion of privacy, but proponents emphasize it can only track “touches and swipes.” Locally, investigators are no strangers to the use of technology when it comes to determining crash causes. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office reviewed the “black box” in a Southampton man’s Lexus and learned he was driving over 78 mph before the crash on Hill Street last February that claimed the life of a visitor from Germany. Jacob Alegria’s trial on manslaughter charges is slated to commence this fall. The perils of texting and driving hit home on the East End with a January, 2014, head-on collision on Flanders Road. Drivers along State Route 24 are reminded of the crash that killed Barbara Tocci, a beloved community member whose family and friends became crusaders against texting and driving. Two billboards along the road feature Tocci’s smiling face and the message “Save a Life, Do Not Text & Drive. Barbara Tocci 1966-2014.”

At the dedication of two rest stops as text stops along Flanders Road this spring, County Legislator Bridget Fleming pointed out that the average text message takes about five seconds. “If you’re driving 55 miles per hour, that’s the equivalent of driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed,” she said. “Think about it.”

person show is like a different child. You love them all, and they are all distinct. Aging Is Optional is my latest project because this is the stage in my life where I am preoccupied in wanting to live forever and knowing that days are numbered. You have such an incredible body of work -- how do you feel being best known (at least for now) as the Mayor of Alexandria on “The Walking Dead”? “The Walking Dead” was one of the greatest jobs I’ve ever had. It’s one thing to be on the number one cable show in the world, it’s another thing to stay there. The cast and crew were dedicated to making each episode a small feature. The reason “The Walking Dead” is so excitingly successful is because it deals with how to live under exigent and overwhelming circumstances. As our days are numbered, how do we want to live? Are you approached on the street by crazed TWD fans? Deanna Munroe does not attract the crazies, she attracts the civilized, and I love every one of those “Walking Dead” fans. I can smell the nose rings and tattoos from a five-mile distance. It’s all fine with me.

How do you feel being back on the Bay Street stage? I love being back at Bay Street, I was extremely fond of Sybil Christopher (and I’m still great friends with her daughter, Kate Burton, and Kate’s fine husband, Michael Ritchie.) For Sybil, I did Tovah: Out Of Her Mind! I also did my piece on Tallulah Bankhead.

And now we have Scott Schwartz! I would do anything for him. I worked for his father when his mother, Carol, was pregnant with him, so I guess you can say I’ve known him since he was a zygote. We lost contact when he was a little boy and an adolescent but he went to the same university as my husband, and my son, and my father, and my father in-law, and when he graduated from university, he became this young, up-andcoming, fabulous director with exquisite interpersonal ability. I was lucky enough to choose him as my director for Golda’s Balcony, and together we created the greatest role of my Broadway career. What do you like to do when you’re in The Hamptons? I, too, have a house in The Hamptons. I simply love to relax when I am out there, and enjoy the sea.

Aging is Optional will play for one night only, on Saturday, at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. Tickets can be booked online at www.baystreet.org or by calling the box office at 631-725-9500.

Insight

Off They Go We get a little verklempt each August when our summer interns head back to college, and not just because we have to return to compiling the community calendars ourselves. Our awesome interns infuse the Indy office with youthful exuberance and enthusiasm and we hate to see them go. We can only imagine how wrenching it is for their parents. But, go our children must, and each August parents and kids alike spend these final weeks of summer with goodbyes, packing, shopping, tears, travel, last-minute parties, and tying up loose ends before the adventure of a lifetime begins. College is an adventure for kids and parents, and this week, Indy’s unparalleled interns Liz Vespe and Laura Field (don’t leave us!) offer their tips for making the transition. In the coming weeks before they go (sob!), check back with us for more “off to college” ideas and info.

These are emotional and exciting times for parents and kids alike. Advice abounds, but we’re partial to this pithy prose from Frederick Buechner: Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid. Columbus Cop Out Dear Editor,

Last week the Southampton BOE decided to put religious holidays and others back on the school calendar for 2017-18, but left Columbus Day out by name, preferring to call it a Federal Holiday, instead. School’s closed. Many have taken to social media over this, specifically on 27east. Here is a sampling of the community’s comments on this subject:

“Why is the school district in the calendar business?” “... 30-45 minutes of a board meeting spent discussing how to print/publish a school calendar,

IS IT JUST ME? The Feminist Ice Cream Cart

to let students and parents know about events, days when schools are closed, etc. ... seems a bit of a waste of resources and time. Just print the holiday. It’s Columbus Day. The school board can’t change the name because some people are offended. If this is the only issue, then don’t close the school that day and say nothing. Many businesses are open that day. Parents work. FOUR HALF DAYS FOR STAFF SCHOOL Development Day and only use two half-days? And parent teacher conferences the day before Thanksgiving break? Gimme a break.”

“ Or they could just print “Federal/ School Holiday” for all the holidays and be done with this

Ed Gifford conversation.”

“Just because the Southampton BOE refuses to call it Columbus Day doesn’t change the fact it IS

Columbus Day.”

“Columbus discovered the Americas for the Europeans. His

arrival, although not his originally desired location, changed the scope of the globe and opened up the west to European colonization. This is why it is a holiday in the U.S. and parts of South America. No one is debating that natives suffered as a result of his arrival. Columbus [sic] voyage led to the eventual mapping of western sea routes and the mapping of the Americas by Vespucci. Other navigators and explorers would follow, such as Hudson, and John Cabot. His voyage opened the doors to a great age of discovery in which numerous scientific advancements were made in nautical navigation by the Europeans. Columbus’s voyage is one of the more significant events in the history of the world. Unfortunately, political correctness has marked a new age in nondiscovery, and inverted intolerance.”

Does your diet or exercise routine change in summer? Nicole Savetz More exercise but more food. I just graduated high school and there was no time for anything but studying and doing schoolwork. So now that summer is here there’s finally time to go out and get some exercise. Julia Weiss I may exercise more in the summer but I definitely eat more too. Especially desserts. The ice cream? Yikes! How do you say no to it? But I love to go out in the warm weather and go on runs. So I do get lots of exercise. Lewis Zammit I walk more in the summer. But I have a dog and that’s always motivation to go walking. I can’t say my diet changes much. Except maybe there’s some extra ice cream in the picture. Sandy Bracco Everybody wants to eat more in the summer! Isn’t that true? There are all the barbeques and then there’s all that wonderful ice cream. Who can resist that ice cream in the summer? But thank goodness for the warm weather so you can get out for exercise.

“While we hear so much about bullying of students, here we seem to have a case of the students bullying the School Board.”

“If Kwanzaa is in there, why not Secretaries Day and National Cup Cake Day? All equally contrived.”

“Well at least the BOE Snowflakes have agreed to acknowledge holidays that the community and school district enjoy. C’mon ladies and gentlemen … only one to go. Say it with me, then you can all run to your safe places … Columbus Day!!”

“LONG LIVE CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS !!!!!!”

Thank you, community members! I couldn’t have said it any better. As far as I’m concerned, I would rather see National Grandparents’ Day acknowledged on the Southampton School Calendar than the made-up holiday called Kwanzaa. Grandparents’ Day is the second Sunday of September.

some Bibb lettuce on the roll. By Rick Murphy

clean the fish though I must confess I’d drop mine off at the house and let my grandfather take it from there.

Rick’s Space

Here’s the deal: Some foods just don’t taste right without salt chicken soup and potato chips, for example.

RICK’S SPACE

by Rick Murphy

Something Fishy We know we can live longer if we eat healthy.

But we also know, as do the food companies, that old habits die hard. For example, I love potato chips. So they make potato chips that are now “low in saturated fats,” and that’s a good thing, I guess. But now they flavor the chips – there’s barbecue chips, sour cream flavored, chili chips, cheddar flavored, and so on. But my favorite is “sea salt,” which implies that somehow sea salt is good for you. Here are the facts: “Most table salt also has added iodine, an essential nutrient that helps maintain a healthy thyroid. Sea salt and table salt contain comparable amounts of sodium by weight.”

I’m sorry to break this news to you, but good old table salt is better for you . . . though both kinds can cause high blood pressure and thus can lead to a stroke. The implication, clearly, is that somehow sea salt won’t.

The other day I saw “Wild Caught Albacore Tuna” with . . . you guessed

it, sea salt. Consider that fish swim around in the ocean, the water pumping through their gills. Duh – there’s a reason they call it saltwater.

When we were kids we went fishing all the time. It was easy to bring home supper, be it blowfish, or, later in the summer, snappers, which we caught off of the docks using a bamboo pole. Flounder season came first. They are pretty much gone now, but back in the day they would come through the Shinnecock Canal and ride the incoming tide through the Shelter Island ferry slip and right into Sag Harbor Cove. The theory was after a winter of meditating under the sand (no doubt chanting ohmmmmm and burning incense) they would begin to feed ferociously as the water warmed.

We’d row out, tie our chum pots on a buoy or lobster trap, and row back and wait for the tide to bring the fish in. We used clams for bait, but worms or mud minnows worked better. Some of my friends knew how to

For now though, you can buy summer flounder in the good seafood stores. It’s not the same as fluke, which has much bigger fillets and is grainier. Summer flounder is delicate.

Unfortunately, as an American I feel compelled to turn fresh fish into something that isn’t good for me. I make a beer batter with a cup of flour, a sprinkle of garlic powder, paprika, pepper, a beaten egg, and a bottle of flat beer. This recipe works with cod or any flaky white fish.

Dip the fillets in one at a time with tongs, and then let any excess batter drip off. Drop into a deep fryer (or pot) filled with hot canola oil (185 degrees). When the fillet pops up golden brown it’s done. Drain on a paper towel.

Lightly toast a premium hamburger bun. Place two of the fillets and

Not all fish recipes require salt. I don’t recommend you put it on anchovies, for example, even if you do use sea salt. Flounder, though, is kind of bland, like codfish.

Grind a generous amount of sea salt on it even if it’s not what it’s cracked up to be - it will make the fish feel at home. Squirt some lemon juice and put a dab of mayo on the other half of the roll. And that’s my secret. Papa used to sprinkle the fillet with a thin coat of flour, dip in milk, and then cover with seasoned breadcrumbs (yeah, with plenty of salt). He’d sauté them in olive oil and garlic (he’d sauté everything in olive oil and garlic including the dreaded eel) and serve with glass of Chianti. Then again, he served everything with Chianti. A basket of crabs from Sagaponack Pond; a pail of bottlefish; clams on the half shell, cooked on the barbecue with lemon, parsley, butter, breadcrumbs, bacon, and a little of their very own saltwater. You didn’t need a Land Rover and eight ensuite bedrooms to live the good life in The Hamptons.

I still love summer flounder, probably because I never forgot those good days on the water. It made me more adamant that when I grew up, like Papa Forcucci, I would have a boat and a farm, keep chickens, grow fruit, and live off the land. Who knows – maybe I’ll retire one day and live that dream.

Universities have it all.

Afraid of meeting new friends? Don’t be, everyone is in the same boat. For students living on campus, be friendly with hall mates and of course, always have good communication with roommates.

Don’t go too wild freshman year. Finally, no 9 PM curfew or nagging parents. Yes, being away from the parents and having newfound freedom and independence is exhilarating, but remember to keep those grades up, college isn’t one big party. Remember, work hard, play hard. There is a balance between academics and a social life.

Yes, the dreaded freshman 15 is real. Thanks to the all-you-can-eat cafeteria, midnight pizza runs, keg parties and lack of mom’s cooking, staying in shape can be tricky. Try snacking of healthy and fresh foods, skipping dessert once in a while, and hitting the gym on breaks. There’s a ton of stuff to do off campus, too. Explore the surrounding area, get a taste for the new location. After all, it is where you’ll be for the next few years.

Flux The White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton presents “Flux,” an exhibition of four contemporary artists who use movement, color, energy, symmetry, and flow to bring their pieces to life. Artists include Barbara Bilotta, Sally Breen, Anna Fenimore, and Mark E. Zimmerman. An opening reception will be held on Saturday from 6 to 8 PM. The show runs through August 20.

The show runs through August 23. Neo, Neo, Neoclassicism The Drawing Room in East Hampton presents Joe Zucker’s “Neo, Neo, Neoclassicism.”

Joe Zucker has examined and broadened the meaning of painting through the use of unconventional materials including cotton balls, sash cord, and industrial mops. This is the artist’s first solo gallery exhibition on the East End. The show opens on Friday and will run through September 4. Rental Gallery Rental Gallery in East Hampton presents Zachary Armstrong, Matthew Chambers, and Henry Taylor. An opening reception will be held on Saturday from 6 to 8 PM. The show runs through August 28.

Don’t you think it’s time to ask about Air Conditioning?

Theft is very common on college campuses. Any expensive or personal items should be stored away. Dorm rooms should always be locked when leaving and other people should never have the key or door lock combination.

Break through the comfort zone. College is a time to explore and learn anything you were hesitant about in high school. But at the same time don’t bite off more than you can chew. Joining new clubs and exploring new realms of interest can be great, but time management is also very important. Time management and organization are key to making these next four years go by smoothly and successfully. Unlike high school, professors often post the entire semester syllabus on the first day of class. Be prepared to keep up with the listed classwork, never procrastinate. Knowing due dates and tests is always a plus.

Buckle up and fasten your seat belts. The next four years will be an adventure filled with some bumpy roads and exciting memories.

Getting Real: An Interfaith Dialogue

By Kitty Merrill

The Conservative Synagogue of The Hamptons will host the Rev. Lisa D. Jenkins, the first woman pastor of the St. Matthew’s Baptist Church in Harlem, for a luncheon dialogue with the synagogue’s own rabbi, Rabbi Jan Uhrbach, on Saturday. Entitled “Getting Real: The Comforts of Difficult Conversations,” the discussion will be an open-ended exploration of the intersection of religion, race, and politics, with plenty of time for questions.

The congregation will hold its usual Shabbat service beginning at 9:30 AM; Rabbi Uhrbach and Rev. Jenkins will each speak briefly during the service. The main discussion will be held over lunch at noon.

Participants are welcome to come for the whole morning, or just for the dialogue and lunch. The event is free, but reservations are requested for lunch by emailing cshpres@ gmail.com or calling 631-488-0072. The two clergywomen met this spring in connection with the “Standing Uptown” march convened by the Jewish Theological Seminary, which Rabbi Uhrbach (who directs the JTS Block/Kolker Center for Spiritual Arts) was helping to organize. The purpose of the march was to bring together faith organizations in the Morningside Heights/Harlem area – neighbors practicing different religions, who don’t agree on everything, but who share a commitment to justice, equality, and mutual respect and dignity.

Rev. Jenkins, who in addition to her pastoral duties is a teacher of biblical exegesis and cultural diversity, as well as a doctoral student in Africancentered religious thought and ministry, was one of the speakers and leaders of the march. According to Rabbi Uhrbach, the two quickly recognized in each other a willing partner for learning and conversation. “We discovered almost immediately that we were able to talk about some hard things – from our personal mistakes and resentments, to differences in our theologies and faith traditions, and the impact of those differences on each other,” said Rabbi Uhrbach. So the Reverend and the

Rabbi decided to embark on a series of discussions, for themselves, and as a model for others.

“Whatever one’s political beliefs, I think we can all agree that we have to find a way to talk to and respect each other. Everything we hold dear is at stake,” Rabbi Uhrbach said. “But it can’t be a trivial, surface conversation, pretending that our differences don’t matter, that we have no history, that we haven’t hurt each other. Denial is not a foundation for moving forward; we have to risk being honest, and have the courage to face truth.”

Rabbi Uhrbach has found the new friendship exciting and challenging, so she invited Rev. Jenkins to address her congregation. “Lisa Jenkins is just so extraordinary,” she said. “She’s a treasure I want to share with our community.”

The two decided on August 5, a particular Sabbath known in Jewish tradition as Shabbat Nachamu – the Shabbat of Comfort. “Our secular society teaches us to look for comfort by numbing ourselves, with food, binge-watching television, sex,

alcohol, consumerism – whatever it takes. But that’s a thin, temporary comfort,” Rabbi Uhrbach noted. “Religion offers deeper comfort. By strengthening our courage to confront truth, and challenging us to make necessary changes, it offers real hope – not distraction or fantasy. So what could be more comforting than engaging with others who are willing to do that work? It gives me such hope for our world.” Services and lunch will be held in the social hall of the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Church, 2350 Montauk Highway.

Westhampton And Long Island Square Off For HCBL Title

By Rick Murphy

Suffolk Community College, delivered a two-run double in the top of the ninth to extend the lead to 10-7.

Today at 4 PM is doomsday hour.

That’s when Long Island and Westhampton are slated to face off in the third and final game of the Hamptons collegiate baseball league playoffs, providing the series gets that far. The best of three series began after press time Monday and game two was scheduled for yesterday. Game three, if needed, will be at Westhampton today at 4 PM baseball fans might well want to head to the high school field and check out the game – there will doubtless be some future major leaguers on the field (see sidebar). The LI Road Warriors became the first expansion team to ever earn a berth in the final rounds Friday by nipping the North Fork Ospreys 10-9.

Westhampton made it to the final round by nipping a very game Riverhead team 2-1 on Friday. It is the third straight season the Aviators have made it to the round. Riverhead’s Darren Williams, who attends Eastern Kentucky, and Westhampton’s TJ Harmon, who plays for Ball State, were locked in a pitching duel for much of the game. The Aviators, playing on the road, drew first blood in the second inning by scoring an unearned run.

The visitors added another run in the fourth. AJ Montoya (Toledo) led off with a walk. Montoya advanced to second on a sacrifice and later to third on a groundout. Chris Dutra (Duke) drove in Montoya with a double for his fifth ribbie of the series. The home team refused to go down quietly, staging a ninth inning rally against Riverhead’s closer, Richard Jackson III (Kentucky) who has entered the game with two men out in the sixth. With one out George Bell (Connors State) singled and advanced to third on a hit by Jackson Olsen (Hartford). Jacob Abbott (Eastern Kentucky) followed with a ground single. Jackson stiffened. He induced an

Brandon LaManna (New Haven) tried to close it out for the Road Warriors in his second inning of work. John Mead (Wagner) lofted a two-run homer to make it 10-9 but LaManna was able to earn the save, though he allowed two more baserunners before recording the final out.

infield groundout Preston Pilat (Northern Kentucky) that scored Bell and put the Tomcats within a run then whiffed Duncan Hewitt with the tying and winning runs in scoring position. The relieved Aviators piled up on the field in jubilation.

In contrast to the nailbiter in Westhampton, Long Island and the North Fork engaged in a slugfest in the other semifinal. The Warriors, playing on the road, broke on top in the first inning with an unearned run and the two squads played seesaw from then on. Mike Sciorra (SUNY Cortland) hit a sac fly to even the score in the bottom of the first and Tom Brady laced a double to give the Ospreys a 2-1 lead.

In the second inning the Road Warriors made a statement: Garret Heaton (SUNY Cortland) ripped a two-run double and later in the inning Marc Wangenstein (Albany) emptied the bases with a three-run double to up the lead to 6-2. The Warriors were forced to play keep away for the remainder of the game. Long Island held an 8-4 lead in the bottom of the eighth when the Ospreys struck back. With the bases loaded and nobody out Alex Baumann (Bucknell) hit a sac fly to cut the score to 8-5. Mike Sciorra (Louisiana Tech) drilled a two-run

double and suddenly it was a onerun affair, 8-7.

The Aviators become the second team in HCBL history to make it to the Championship Series in three straight seasons. It is the Aviators fifth appearance in the Championship Series, setting another record for the most appearances by one franchise.

From The East End To The Show

By Rick Murphy

The Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League is an outstanding testing ground for college baseball players with professional aspirations. Professional teams have drafted over 150 alumni since the first summer of baseball on the East End, 2008. Dozens of players are moving up through the minor leagues and apparently headed for the Big Show. About a dozen have made it to the big leagues. The most successful player thus far has been Zack Godley, who was chosen in the 10th round of the 2013 collegiate draft by the Chicago Cubs. He played for Southampton and starred at Tennessee University. Godley is now a key member of the Arizona Diamondbacks, a starting pitcher in the regular rotation.

His last start was his best yet -- a seven-inning gem in which he hurled shutout baseball, allowing only four hits while striking out 10. The 27-year-old has a 14-9 won/loss record in the big leagues. So far this season he is 4-4 with a 1.01 WHIP, one of the better marks among

National League starting pitching. His earned run average is 3.06, also one of the best in the league.

The Diamondbacks may well be playoff bound, which means Godley could become the first HCBL player to start a World Series game. Nick Ahmed, who played for UConn and the Westhampton HCBL team, was second round pick of the Atlantic Braves in 2011. The slick fielding infielder was the first HCBL player to earn a starting job in The Show, with the Diamondbacks in 2015.

He has appeared in 289 games overall but is currently out with a fractured hand. For the season he is hitting .251 with six homers and 21 runs batted in.

Nick Tropeano played for Riverhead in 2009 and starred at Stony Brook. He was drafted in the fifth round of the 2011 draft by Houston. He was traded to the Los Angeles Angels and earned a spot in the starting rotation, going 3-2 this season before being felled by injury. He subsequently underwent Tommy John surgery. 81

Hampton Flyboard: The Horizon Is The Limit

By Nicole Teitler

four people, dedicating half an hour per person in the water, but Riva will accommodate as many as 12 in a group. Being surrounded by water allows Hampton Flyboard to be a mobile business, boarding on private docks or boats. The horizon is the limit.

Flyboarding. Like something out of an aquatic sci-fi film. Boosters on your feet as you soar toward to the sky with nothing but water beneath you. Marty McFly couldn’t have even imagined this, but the Riva brothers did. Brothers Dane Riva and Beau Riva of Hampton Flyboard are Sag Harbor natives. Like most from the area, Dane grew up surfing and boating, developing a true passion for the ocean. One day he came across a YouTube video of flyboarding, begging the question, “Who does that out here?” As luck would have it the competition was low.

Rates run as an individual half hour $180; two people for an hour $320; four people for two hours $420; eight people for four hours $900.

“Flyboard Long Island was in Riverhead, but that might as well be in Nassau County [to people in The Hamptons],” Riva admitted. And so an idea took flight (literally) in the summer of 2015. Right now this booster thrill runs June through September, the key summer months. Despite the relatively short season, over the past two years Hampton Flyboard has retained a steady clientele. Riva noted, “I have been getting a lot of great people reaching out and helping my business. A good example is that Sen, a Japanese restaurant in town, puts my cards on its hostess stand for all their customers to see. I teach all of the staff at the restaurant to flyboard.”

What is flyboarding exactly? The flyboard is a set of boots connected to a 60-foot hose using a patented quick connect technology. This hose leads to a U-pipe that attaches to

the pump of a powerful Yamaha FX show cruiser pushing over 200 horse power, which then redirects all the water to the front of the jet ski and to the nozzles of the flyboard. The instructor on the jet ski controls the power, therefore how high a participant will go. And, just like that, you’re propelled into the air.

While in the air, the flyer must have their chest forward, legs straight, and toes up. To help maintain balance, keep an eye on the horizon. If you begin to collapse look at the jet ski while falling backward. A rapid forward descent can lead to some nasty belly flops, which I personally experienced, and minor

headaches, the reason for the helmet.

For those seeking an adventurous experience, without going too far, Hampton Flyboard has seen an over 90 percent success rate in clients getting up within the initial five minutes. It’s all in a positive attitude! Overall, athletes and nonathletes alike should be comfortable in the water before attempting. Don’t worry, there is a mandated life vest to wear for safety. The average group size is two to

“I’m relatively young. I’m excited to grow my business and have different locations throughout The Hamptons. I encourage anyone starting a business just to go for it,” asserted Riva. “Now in my free time I try to surf as often as I can. I have traveled a decent amount in Central and South America surfing. And hope to one day buy property down there, build a compound, and surf [and flyboard] all the time.” Fittingly so, as the website states learning how to “surf the sky.” Catch Riva as he soars to the sky at HarborFest in Sag Harbor September 9 and 10, and the Maritime Festival in Greenport, September 23 and 24.

Indy Fit

by Nicole Teitler

Fighting Like A Noble Fencing oftentimes generates images from films like The Princess Bride, Zorro, The Count of Monte Cristo, or even Star Wars. Beyond that it’s an uncommon thought, but 25-year-old Hanna Heldenmuth from Miami, FL aims to change that.

After years of competing at a national level, earning herself an athletic scholarship to Fairleigh Dickinson University, an NCAA Division I school, Heldenmuth is teaching her knowledge to others. Currently, her company, Noble Knights Fitness and Fencing, offers lessons to individuals or groups in the privacy of their homes in Miami or The Hamptons, and she’s aiming to expand to Manhattan and parts of New Jersey. Intrigued by fencing, I made my way to meet the young athlete. Suited up and a brief lesson later, I envisioned myself as Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap. We practiced with three different swords. Can you explain them and their uses? Sabre: Cutting-style weapon with target area from the waist up, including the head.

Foil: Point/thrust-style weapon with target area consisting only of the torso.

Epee: Point/thrust-style weapon with target area from head to toe. Sabre and Foil are “right of way” weapons, meaning that the person whose action has the right of way receives the point. (Example: Fencer A attacks, fencer B blocks the attack and then both hit simultaneously, fencer B would receive the point because his hit came after fencer A’s initial attack failed.)

Epee is a non “right of way” weapon, meaning that if both people hit simultaneously both receive the point. 86

You used some of the basic terminology, explain what it meant. Advance: Taking a step towards one’s opponent. Retreat: Taking a step away from one’s opponent.

Lunge: Most common attacking technique, in which the fencer launches themselves at their opponent by pushing off from the back leg.

Attack: Movement or series of movements by which a fencer tries to score a point. En Garde: Position taken before fencing commences.

Parry: Defensive action in which a fencer blocks his opponent’s blade. Piste: French term for the fencing strip.

Strip: Fencing area, 14 meters long by two meters wide. Bout: Fencing match.

What’s the important history of the sport? I imagine it dates back to when swords were used as weapons. The foil is a descendant of the light court sword formally used by nobility to train for duels. Target is the torso and follows a right-of-way point system based on the historic dueling masters who instructed their pupils to only attack the vital areas of the body. The epee is a descendant of the dueling sword. Touches are scored only with the point of the blade, and the entire body, head‐to‐toe, is the valid target area, imitating an actual duel. There is no “right of way” as the epee takes after a duel style that’s goal was to first blood rather than death. For this reason if both fencers hit simultaneously both receive points. The sabre is a descendant of the

slashing cavalry sword. The sabre is a cutting weapon as well as a thrusting weapon; therefore, sabreurs can score with the edge of their blade as well as their point. The target area of the waist up simulates the cavalry rider on a horse (hitting below the waist would harm the horse). Where do you see the sport going? The sport is becoming more mainstream, due in great part to an increase in media coverage. There is also a strong urge in the fencing community to develop foundations geared toward increased accessibility to the sport, offering programs, equipment, and scholarships. I believe fencing is on its way up in popularity and soon enough its presence will be much more common. What made you start a business? How’d you come up with the name? I’ve always loved coaching and having the chance to introduce the sport of fencing to people. The name of my business, Noble Knights Fitness and Fencing, comes from my NCAA fencing team mascot, the Knight. Plus the idea that those who are noble (possessing qualities of high ideals, morals, and talent) are obligated to be noble and reach their potential. How can fencing aid in a child’s future? The sport of fencing offers a wide range of physical and mental benefits for children. Because fencing is comparatively a small sport, goals of succeeding competitively are attainable to individuals that are willing to train and work hard. Fencing not only stands out on a college application but also has the power to influence university admission, especially at one of the many schools that have NCAA fencing teams. Talk about the fitness aspect of fencing. I know I definitely felt it in my thighs and arm muscles. Fencing uses a unique set of muscles and requires a great deal of balance and core strength as well as lower body (squatted en garde position) and upper body with high-speed blade work.

Nicole Teitler with owner of Noble Knights Fencing, Hanna Heldenmuth.

Since it’s about precision, would you say it’s a mental workout too? Fencing is definitely a mental workout. The sport requires tactical skills, mental focus and split second reaction time. What would you say to those who haven’t tried fencing before? Everyone and anyone can benefit from the sport of fencing. Fencing is great for people of all ages, from 5 to 105. Sessions can be one-on-one with a coach, as a couple or family, or with a small group of friends. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to have a private fencing master bring the sport of fencing directly to your home. Just like in the movies! Noble Knights Fencing sends a coach directly to an individual’s home, but can also provide sessions at camps, gyms, or any outdoor space, such as parks or beaches. A basic fencing package with all necessary introductory equipment runs about $300 and they provide all the gear necessary for an introduction to the sport. Those interested in pursuing things further can then rent or purchase equipment packages through the company itself. Are you ready to en garde? Contact Hanna Heldenmuth at www. nobleknightsfencing.com , call at 305-333-6580 or find them on Instagram @NobleKnightsFencing.

long gone from the mationcatchphrase call Jim @ 631.324.2500 guidance offeredMackin by senior officers Description of the vessel in distress to eager-to-prove-themselvesworthy boat crews.

Now, it is risk management, technology, and technique. Having saved well over a million lives since its founding in 1790, the US Coast Guard can safely claim that they know how to do it. But just what happens in the command centers and on the search vessels when a May-Day cry comes in? This column is about that. Risk Management USCG Forces know many things about risk management, especially these factors: Every event has some degree of risk.

All risks will never be known until presented.

Every event requires balancing risk by applying adequate controls and resources, which may be in short supply for the task at hand, and Time is not an ally.

The command center must get as much as, or all, of this basic information from the boater in

or, possibly far worse, the person lost overboard,

Number of people on board/ involved (no one gets left behind by accident), What is the weather/sea conditions at the scene. This will determine what the mission coordinator specifically tasks the coxswain and crew of the rescue vessel with. The rescue crew will use the time from leaving the dock to arriving at the scene of the event or search area to prep for the task, especially working with the Rescue-21 radio/direction-finding system.

From here, it is very factdependent. What “vectors” (wind, current, tides) have been at play since the event? How good is all this information? Very good sources narrow the search area, poor sources expand the search area. One of the first things that the rescue crew is likely to do is to “drop datum” as they arrive. A radio buoy or other self-locating device is dropped at the scene so that it can be used to calibrate what actually are the vectors at work here. The next and most important decision made is what kind of search pattern to run. When the search area is large and the last known location is approximate, but debris (for example) was found, the search pattern is likely to be a “creeping line” – back and forth across the search area and moving away from the last known position in the direction of the vectors (wind/ currents/tide).

In contrast, when the search area is small, a bay for example, and the last known position is well-known, the search pattern most likely called for is a vector search. With pie-like patterns, back across the datum’s location, the CXN will cut back

Rescue-21, in addition to being an integral part of the USCG’s 21stcentury communications system, has a direction finding capability. So, even if the distressed vessel doesn’t have an EPIRB* or the crew isn’t wearing PLBs, Rescue-21 can point directly at the source of the radio signal. Although there is a 4o error factor (2o on either side of the direct or rhumb line), multiple

and forth across that point, looking for the victim or vessel. Some what between these two conditions, where the search area is small but the last known position is not so well known, the SAR pattern most likely to be used is the “Expanding Square” pattern where the CXN drives in an ever-increasing box or square around the last presumed position.

In any event, the last thing that the SMC wants to hear is this from the crew: “No joy.”

This means that they have done everything that they could and have reached the end of their mission – no joy in finding the missing person or vessel. The SMC can send additional crews out, and likely will until hope becomes the only thing left. 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, and we will help you “get in this thing.”
