Helicopter din dominates airport noise complaints.

Charting The ANCA Course

It’s costly, with an estimated price tag between $1.5 million and $2 million.

It’s time-consuming, with an estimated timeline of three years.

It’s ambitious – only one in seven attempts has been successful.

Challenges notwithstanding, Councilwoman Kathee BurkeGonzalez believes users and stakeholders want to move forward with a measure geared toward allowing the town to set its own limits at the East Hampton Airport. Throughout the day on Monday, the lawmaker, along with special council Bill O’Connor and noise consultant Mary Ellen Eagan, met with varied stakeholders and the press to describe what the next step towards gaining local control over the airport entails. As The Independent went to press yesterday, the trio was slated to present the overview to the entire town board.

Under the Airport Noise Capacity Act of 1990, municipalities may attempt to enact their own noiselimiting regulations through what’s 4

called the Part 161 application.

Since its inception, just seven municipalities have pursued the Part 161 application to the FAA; only one applicant has been successful. Two applications were denied and four were abandoned.

But East Hampton is unique among previous applicants, O’Connor pointed out. Others, like LAX and Burbank airports were large, commercial facilities with operational differences. (LAX spent nine years and $3 million dollars, Burbank spent 10 years and $7 million seeking local control. Both were denied.)

“They took a long time and a lot of money,” O’Connor admitted.

But locally the airport’s singularity presents, said O’Connor, “a more optimistic picture.” Before the regulations were struck down in court, East Hampton had restrictions in place, meaning there’s data to demonstrate the difference between the noise impacts that occurred with restrictions in place and those occurring without curfews or operational frequency limits.

That data will be a component of

2017

official decision, anticipated this month, being step one. After that, the town must hire an economic consultant, which will occur through the Request For Proposal process. O’Connor’s timeline forecast completion of the second step in October, with the finalizing of proposed restrictions completed in March of 2018, the conclusion of studies and public publishing of the proposals next August. A mandated 45-day comment period comes next, during September of 2018, revisions in October, and submission to the FAA next November. Historically so far, the FAA has returned Part 161 to applicants for additional information and revisions.

O’Connor’s timeline builds that in, anticipating the FAA might deem the application complete and make a decision by 2019/2020.

the comprehensive application the town must submit to the FAA. Part 161 must also include an economic analysis of proposed restrictions that demonstrates the rules wouldn’t have a negative impact on users or the town as a whole. Applicants have to show the economic benefit of proposed restrictions as well as the cost to implement them.

Consultants must prove the restrictions wouldn’t cause an unreasonable burden and are non-discriminatory and nonarbitrary. They have to demonstrate restrictions in East Hampton won’t increase congestion elsewhere, like at Gabreski Airport in Westhampton or Montauk Airport. (Although it’s privately owned, consideration may be given to including Montauk Airport in the application.)

Key among the requirements of the Part 161 is a publicly vetted process – town officials have to be able to prove any proposals were subject to community scrutiny and comment.

But first, the town board has to officially agree to move forward.

O’Connor presented an estimated timeline of the process, with the

Neither the timeline not the anticipated expense takes into account the cost of FAA-requested revisions or litigation.

For decades, lawsuits have stymied efforts to mitigate airport noise. Most recently the town’s regulations enacting curfews and landing frequency at the airport were struck down.

But before they were enjoined in court, the rules were in effect from July of 2015 through November 2016. And the data compiled during that timeframe may bolster the Part 161 application.

On Monday, Eagan presented data related to airport operations and noise complaints, comparing this year through the end of July to prior years. Land planes comprise 59 percent of operations at the airport; helicopters make up 27 percent of landings and departures, with seaplanes making up 10 percent. A final four percent is allocated to “unidentified aircraft,” in the fleet mix. And, no, they’re not talking UFOs. The tracking system data didn’t capture the exact type of craft.

The town monitors noise complaints via two systems. This year so far, complaints are up 133 percent over last year. For the month of July alone, they were up 99 percent and in seven months exceeded the number for 2016.

Water Quality In Crisis

Independent / Courtesy LICWP Noted environmentalists gather to report the study’s findings. (Left to Right) Kevin McDonald, Bob DeLuca, Dick Amper, Dr. Chris Gobler, and Adrienne Esposito.

By Kitty Merrill Brown tide.

Rust Tide.

Fish Kill.

Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning.

Toxic Blue-Green Algae.

According to environmental experts with the Long Island Clean Water Partnership, this summer every major bay and estuary across the island was afflicted by a toxic algae blooms or oxygen starved waters or both.

A cadre of the region’s most noted environmental experts – Adrienne Esposito of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Bob DeLuca of the Group for the East End, Dick Amper of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, Kevin McDonald of the Nature Conservancy, and Stony Brook professor Dr. Chris Gobler – gathered on Fire Island last week to unveil the ominous info.

“It began with paralytic shellfish poisoning events in May and ended with a harmful rust tide that continues today across the East End,” said Dr. Gobler. “In between, the longest and most intense brown tide bloom in recorded history, toxic blue-green algae in 14 lakes across the island, seaweeds on ocean beaches, oxygen depleted waters

found at more than 20 locations from Hempstead to East Hampton.

The confluence of all of these events in all these places across Long Island in a single season is a clear sign of things being amiss.”

LICWP compiled a map depicting the water bodies in crisis across the island, the lion’s share of them on the East End. The partnership contends heavy loads of nitrogen from sewage and fertilizers have been cited as the ultimate cause of the water quality impairment. It’s no surprise the East End, with its mansions boasting unnaturally lush lawns combined with innumerable aging residential septic systems is marked by more water quality problems than areas up west where lawns are modest and sewers and sewage treatment plants handle waste.

The brown tide bloom this year began in May and stretched all the way from Freeport to the Shinnecock Inlet. The inlet and Shinnecock Bay were host to more than brown tide. Rust tide, hypoxia, paralytic shellfish poisoning and a fish kill at Old Fort Pond to the east of Shinnecock Bay are depicted on the water quality map.

A large number of new water bodies were contaminated with blue-green algae this summer.

Some, like Lake Agawam in

Independent / Courtesy LICWP The map above depicts water quality impairment across the East End.

Southampton, have suffered chronic incursions of cyanobacteria, but 15 sites suffering Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) experienced them for the first time this summer.

In 2016 Suffolk County had more lakes with HABs than any other county in the state. The distinction is likely to be repeated in 2017, and, again, the East End played host to more HABs than anywhere else in Suffolk.

According to LICWP, all of these events can be traced back to rising levels of nitrogen coming from land and entering Long Island’s surface waters. The largest sources of nitrogen are household sewage and fertilizers that are washed into groundwater that seeps in bays, harbors, and estuaries. Nitrogen stimulates toxic algal blooms that can, in turn, remove oxygen from bottom waters as they decay.

“Our water quality is degrading before our eyes,” said CCE executive director Adrienne Esposito. “Our bays are dying and the science clearly shows us why.

Doing nothing is not an option.

The problem will not fix itself.

We need to rapidly move forward with advanced innovative septics, expansion of sewers, and creation of the Long Island Nitrogen Action

Plan.”

The occurrence of events like brown tide, have led to the collapse of critical marine habitats such as sea grass, major fisheries on Long Island such as scallops and clams, and the coastal wetlands that help protect waterfront communities from the damaging impacts of storms. Groups such as The Nature Conservancy have been working for more than a decade to revive and restore these habitats and shellfish, but have been challenged by algal blooms like those witnessed this summer.

“Although this year’s research paints a bleak picture of the scale of Long Island’s water quality crisis, recent investments in advanced sewage treatment projects and programs mark the beginning of measurable water quality action by local, county and New York State governments. These are critical first steps, but the data tell us there is far more to be done,” Bob Deluca, President, Group for the East End, pointed out.

“The quality of our local bodies of water is not only vital to the region’s important tourism industry, but is vital to the way of life that so

NOBODY ASKED ME, BUT...

With thanks to the great sportswriter Jimmy Cannon, who did it first.

It’s time to think the unthinkable.

Some very reliable sources in the New York Democratic Party are telling me that Bill de Blasio, arguably the worst mayor in the history of New York, is aiming to run for president in 2020.

He’s corrupt. He lies. He’s disgusting in his pimping of photos of his mixed-race family in a commercial to win AfricanAmerican votes. In short, de Blasio is the poor man’s Donald Trump, and he wants to be president.

Before you bust a gut laughing, think of how you would have laughed in 2013 if you read that Donald Trump – a joke realitytelevision star – was thinking of running for president in 2016.

The fact is, whoever gets the Democratic nomination will be the next president of the United States. And let’s face it: Only you and I know what a disaster Bill de Blasio is as Mayor of New York. To the rest of the country, he is the mayor of the largest city in the United States. I’m told de Blasio has people traveling all over the country, talking him up as a potential president.

So when you go to bed tonight and you’re staring at the ceiling ask yourself this question: Who will I vote for in a presidential contest between Bill de Blasio and Donald Trump? Actually, it’s better if you sleep on your side. You don’t want to throw up at the thought and accidently choke yourself.

Did you notice that the network

September 20

TV newscasters and weatherpeople sounded so gloomy when they had to announce that Hurricane Irma turned into a mere tropical storm? Remember how excited and happy they sounded when they were saying, “It’s a category five hurricane with winds over 200 miles per hour!”

The glee in their voices was just a step away from them shouting, “EVERYBODY IN ITS PATH IS GOING TO DIE! HOOOORAY!”

*******************************************

Is there a worse human being than Bernie Sanders? He’s full of crap.

He has spent a lifetime screaming about ideas and programs that he knows are not possible. His gullible supporters never ask, “How come nothing he has ever proposed has ever been implemented?” *******************************************

I’m confused. Around 90 percent of Americans believe that “dreamers” (children brought to this country many years ago by undocumented immigrants) should be allowed to stay in the United States and someday become citizens. Now everyone is happy that President Trump got together with Chuckie Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and they came up with a plan to assure “dreamers” can stay.

So who was the fool who started all this and was against their staying?

Donald Trump.

It’s magnificent. Here’s a recipe from the Times that I cooked last week, and it turned out to be a sensational pasta. Try it. It’s so so easy, and your family and guests will love it.

Mourn Trailblazer, Edie Windsor

By Kitty Merrill

“Today the entire LGBT community lost a true hero, and Long Island’s LGBT community lost a dear friend,” said New York LGBT Network CEO David Kilmnick on September 12.

Kilmnick was among local leaders to reflect on the legacy of the activist this week. “Edith Windsor was best known as the crusading activist whose landmark Supreme Court case struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013, paving the way for LGBT couples to receive federal recognition of their unions for the first time in our nation’s history,” he said. “On Long Island, we knew her as Edie, our friend with a heart as big as her smile, relentless in her activism, always fighting for those in need.”

Windsor’s tireless fight for equality for LGBT people had been a common thread throughout her life, neither beginning nor ending with her victory at the Supreme Court, the CEO continued. On Memorial Day, 2012, Edie opened her home to guests to support the work of the LGBT Network for the first time in what became a cherished tradition kicking off summer on the East End each year.

Following the tragic suicide of 16-year old David Hernandez Barros, Edie was instrumental in helping open the LGBT Network’s Hamptons Center in Sag Harbor – the first and only LGBT Center on the East End of Long Island, Kilmnick reminded. In 2013, the LGBT Network honored Edie as an LGBT Civil Rights Trailblazer at its 20th Anniversary Gala. “As Grand Marshal of the Long Island Pride Parade in 2014, Edie brought us all together to celebrate as a community, with an eye toward the important work yet to be done,” he said.

Kilmnick continued, “Those who knew Edie will never forget her warmth, her kindness, her generosity of spirit, or her passion for helping others. By continuing to fight for those in need, and

continuing the fight for full equality, we honor the life and the spirit of our friend Edie. The LGBT Network mourns the loss of Edie Windsor and commits to ensuring that her vision and hardwork continues into the future.”

New York State Assemblyman Fred Thiele also offered condolences and recollections. “I am saddened to hear of the passing of Edie

Sand In My Shoes

by Denis Hamill

ON JUDGMENT DAY MOM OF VICTIM FINDS JUSTICE And so this was Judgment Day.

Nellie Phelan had waited two-anda-half years for this day to come and now the monster – you can’t call him a man – named Steven Masiello, 31, who sexually exploited her four-year-old daughter known as Victim #1, would be copping a plea, facing a minimum of 10 years in a Federal pen.

Not enough. But not insignificant.

The judge could give him much more time because Steven Masiello was also the biological father of Victim#1 and in those times when she was in his sole care he took depraved pornographic

photos of her, distributing them into the sewer system of the Dark Net, swapping them with other pedophiles for rape and bondage photos of other girls under age four.

Nellie sat in the federal courtroom staring at a different pedophile defendant -- in a related but separate case -- with whom Masiello exchanged the child porn photos.

“I want to run up there and cut his f------ b---- off,” Nellie whispered to her husband, Donald.

This defendant had a prior New York State charge of child pornography, receiving a Youthful

Offender probation deal at 17. Now that he was 20 he had been arrested again, this time by the FBI, for trading child porn with Masiello.

His lawyer argued that his Youthful Offender case didn’t count as a prior conviction because in New York it becomes sealed.

The federal judge glared down, and said, “In the federal statute it is considered a prior crime and a factor in sentencing.”

Translation: this mutant would receive 20 years in a hell hole where there are no kids, only men, most of them fathers, who consider child perverts lower on the evolutionary scale than the cockroaches in their cells.

He was led away by court officers, pausing, to nod a teary-eyed goodbye to his weeping mother, father, and siblings until like 2035.

2017

couldn’t beat a rug with a whisk broom.

Now, as he admitted under oath that he had a 9th grade education, Masiello sat hunched at the table like turtle retracting into its shell. Not one member of his family who might finally have read the discovery evidence file against him appeared in court. When it was time for the allocution – confessing his crimes in his own words as part of his plea deal -- the judge made Masiello speak in a slow, loud voice as he confessed to his unforgivable exploitation of his own daughter.

When Daddy is the Bogeyman the nightmares last a lifetime.

If he lives that long.

He was marched out. And Masiello -- whose family secured $1million for 31 months of bail and paid two high priced attorneys, Nellie Phelan never received one dime in child support for the little girl he exploited – entered wearing an oversized suit.

“I’ve been waiting almost three years for this moment I thought would never come,” whispered Nellie Phelan, whose childhood included a loving and protective mom and dad, happy summers in the Hamptons, and memorable trips to Disney, Los Angeles, and Ireland.

The prosecutor read off the charges, detailing the photos Masiello took of Victim#1, and swapped them with human bilge rats like the pervert who’d just left the courtroom. In return Masiello received the cruel, and unspeakable aforementioned photos of other babies. In one text exchange with a different pedophile Masiello was asked the identity of the cutie in his pictures. When Masiello said it was his daughter the other creep texted, “Your own daughter, WTF?!!!”

Masiello was even considered the lowest of the low by a total lowlife.

And yet this bag of garbage used to brag that he was a Series Seven stockbroker, bebopping like a macho tough guy even though he

The man who was supposed to protect Victim#1 the most from the monsters of the big, scary world was himself the monster.

When Daddy is the Bogeyman the nightmares last a lifetime.

Nellie Phelan wept as Masiello spoke those cruel and graphic and unforgivable words. But her resilient little girl who was eight now was doing fantastically well.

With a new Daddy, who actually loved and protected her from monsters like her biological father.

The judge sat listening to Masiello’s string of horror and like any good man with beating human heart you could see his face surrender the outrage and the sorrow. When the defense lawyer made a plea to continue Masiello’s bail until sentencing in mid-January the judge shook his head and said Masiello had just confessed to crimes against his daughter and was facing at least 10 years.

“The defendant is remanded,” he said.

Nelly Phelan shouted,” Yes! Thank you, YES!” She embraced her husband as the court officer and a federal prison officer made Masiello remove his tie, shoes and belt and marched him out of the courtroom where he would enter the federal penal system, not to emerge for at least 10 years.

“At last, justice for my little girl,” said Nellie Phelan as the door slammed on Steven Masiello.

SoFo Considers Climate Change

By Kitty Merrill

According to NASA’s climate change fact sheets, 97 percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position.

NASA lists global temperature rise, warming oceans, shrinking

ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, glacial retreat, decreased snow cover, sea level rise, and extreme weather events among causal factors in climate change.

Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment, NASA’s climate page points out. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and

trees are flowering sooner.

Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves.

This week, locally, experts will discuss the looming crisis as the South Fork Natural History Museum hosts its third annual Climate Change Conversation this Saturday from 5 to 7 PM.

Flag Flies For Jim Patton

he was ready. His answer without hesitation was “Yes, Sir!” The 29th Evacuation did not deploy then, but was ordered to Vietnam in 1967.

In continuing its mission to take history out of the textbooks by honoring a local veteran each month of the school year, the Hampton Bays School District is paying tribute to Vietnam War veteran Jim Patton by flying an American flag in his honor throughout the month of September.

“The district is proud to honor Mr. Patton for his bravery and service to the United States,” said Superintendent of Schools Lars Clemensen.

Patton was honored at a ceremony held on September 11 at Hampton Bays Elementary School. During the ceremony, fourth-graders honored Mr. Patton and all the heroes of 9/11. The students also read the local hero’s bio, recited patriotic poems that they had penned and sang “Don’t it Feel Good,” an original song written

by Mike Piliero. The ceremony culminated with the raising of the flag on the district’s flagpole.

Patton was born in September, 1940. He graduated from Erasmus Hall High School and attended New York City

College of Technology where he received an Associate of Applied Science degree in electrical technology. After graduation, he was hired as an electronic technician at Hazeltine Corporation, an electrical defense contractor, and worked there until his country called.

In 1963, Patton was drafted and sent to Fort Dix in New Jersey. Given his background in electronics, he expected to attend Radar School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, but that did not happen. Instead, due to a critical need for medics, he was ordered to Fort Sam Houston in Texas, where he spent eight weeks qualifying as a medical corpsman. After training, he was assigned to the 29th Evacuation Hospital in Fort Devens, Massachusetts.

The 29th Evacuation performed readiness tests. They loaded twoand-a-half ton trucks and trailers with all the supplies needed to set up a complete field hospital. The drills were practice, but everyone in the 29th Evacuation Hospital knew that at any time the unit could be activated.

On one drill, the unit drove to the White Mountains in New Hampshire and set up a full 400bed hospital in total darkness on a night so cold that Patton’s sleeping bag froze to the floor of his tent. On another drill, a general climbed into his truck and asked if

In 1964, Patton was assigned to the Amphibious School at Norfolk Naval Base where he spent four weeks learning to load transport ships. Always a good student, he graduated fourth in a class of 33. By 1965, he had earned a promotion to Specialist E5 along with new orders. This time, the orders were to go to remote areas of Vietnam to provide medical aid for village people. In preparation, he had extensive dental work done as there would be nowhere for him to receive dental care should he require it in the jungle.

However, that plan also changed. His orders for Vietnam were cancelled on the date he was to ship out, and he was routed back to Fort Devens to head up the base ambulance service. In September, 1965, he was awarded the Good Conduct Medal and in October 1965 was honorably discharged and returned to work at the Hazeltine Corporation, initially as an electronic technician, but rising to supervisor for defense contract work. After Hazeltine, he managed a Radio Shack in East Patchogue for nine years.

In 1994, he returned to school, first taking business courses at Southampton College, then taking computer courses at Dowling College where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in computer information systems.

Patton has been an active member of the Hand Aldrich American Legion Post 924 for the past 42 years where he has served as a member of the Post Honor Guard and as the Blue Star Banner Chairman for the Post.

Patton is a man deeply involved in his community. He was Grand Marshal of the 2017 Hampton Bays Memorial Day Parade and has been active in the St. Rosalie’s Knights of Columbus, the Irish American Society and the Peconic Bay Power Squadron. He has also always enjoyed sailing and fishing on Tiana Bay.

Water Discourse On Tap

Independent / Inez Vinoodh, Courtesy Parrish Art Museum Southampton Town Councilman John Bouvier, landscape architect Edwina Von Gal, and artist Alexis Rockman discuss water and climate change at the Parrish Art Museum Friday night.

Compiled by Kitty Merrill

As part of a symposium focused on critical issues of water and climate change, the Parrish Art Museum presents Water -- A (Re)Source of Inspiration, a provocative discussion on the topic on Friday at 6 PM. Participants John Bouvier, Southampton Town Councilman, Alexis Rockman, artist; Edwina von Gal, landscape designer and founder/president of Perfect Earth Project will take part in the panel.

The panelists will discuss their diverse perspectives on the topic of water and climate change through the lens of science, design, art, community, and public service to explore new thinking, behavior, technology, and policy.

The goal of this investigation is to illuminate water as both a source of inspiration and a resource threatened by climate change, and enable action to address the pollution, rising tides, flooding, and other extreme weather resulting from this critical issue.

The program is part of the museum’s ongoing series, InterSections: The Architect in Conversation; and (Re) Sources: Symposium on Water and Climate Change on Friday and Saturday that will identify climate change

as a comprehensive environmental, social justice, and economic issue.

The two-day program includes a panel, workshops, and a performance that explore water from various vantage points -- from a source of artistic or spiritual inspiration to a resource that is at once threatened and threatening.

The symposium, created in conjunction with Platform: Clifford Ross Light | Waves, emphasizes interdisciplinary exchanges and cross-fertilizations that result in innovative solutions and new thinking.

The Museum’s Open Studio for Families on Saturday morning

will feature Water Lab!, a waterinspired workshop.

PROPANE & FUEL OIL

Participants include artists, architects, designers, educators, policymakers, filmmakers, fishermen, technologists, and scientists from Long Island’s East End and beyond.

The symposium begins with the panel discussion on Friday.

On Saturday, after nightfall outdoors on the Parrish terrace, the 21-member New York-based collective and orchestra Optipus will present The Watery Owl of Minerva, an original, naturethemed work by Bradley Eros using a variety of film/video formats as well traditional and electronic instruments made or altered by the artists; copresented by Microscope Gallery.

The Hills Faces Final Showdown

Independent / Courtesy Southampton Town, Rich Murphy, James J. Mackin Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, Southampton Town Councilman Stan Glinka, Southampton Town Councilwoman Christine Scalera.

By Rick Murphy

The final showdown looms for what may well be the most controversial development proposal – and one of the largest – in the history of Southampton Town.

The Discovery Land Company wants to build an 18-hole golf course and 117 luxury homes on a 600-acre parcel it owns in East Quogue. Dubbed “The Hills at Southampton,” the project’s three-year road to approval has been subject to numerous detours, potholes, and delays as proponents and opponents bandied about the merits weighed against the detriments, the most egregious of which is the potential negative effects to the drinking water aquifer and nearby Shinnecock Bay. On Thursday, the Southampton Town Board formally accepted

the draft environmental impact statement prepared by Discovery.

It was a formality indeed: The document was the subject of four public hearings, and the project has been modified based on comments received. Other feedback has been addressed in the impact statement, a voluminous document that can take months to compile and considers every possible alternative for the project. The board, at this point, had little recourse but to deem the study “complete.”

Though discussions about the proposal have oftentimes been held before dozens and occasionally hundreds of people, Thursday’s proceedings were stark, even somber. There were no public discussions, and all five board members voted to accept the FEIS and deem it complete. There were only a handful of spectators.

But it doesn’t mean Discovery can put shovel to ground.

First, the board will issue a findings statement under the State Environmental Quality Review Act after a minimum of 10 days and maximum of 30 days, according to Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman.

“The findings statement is the conclusion of the SEQRA process.

The board will determine if the

project as amended adequately addresses the environmental impacts,” Schneiderman said. All of the town board actions up this point require a simple majority vote, but next up after the SEQRA discussion is the town board discussion on Discovery’s planned development district zoning application.

The culmination of the long and arduous process will come in two stages. “I expect a public hearing on a PDD law to happen on Oct 19th in the evening at East Quogue elementary school,” Schneiderman said. The vote on the Discovery application, will tentatively take place on November 2 at Town Hall.

Because it’s a PDD, a supermajority vote.

Schneiderman asked Dr. Chris Gobler, a marine science professor at Stony Brook Southampton, to review the latest proposal and calculate the nitrogen yields under different scenarios.

Dr. Gobler, who lives in East Quogue, concluded that The Hills development as currently envisioned would yield an average of 2322 pounds of nitrogen per year, less than would be realized if Discovery built what is “As of Right.”

Dr. Gobler’s computations included

mitigating factors Discovery added to the original plan to make it more palatable to residents and critics, including upgrading the East Quogue school’s septic system and purchasing additional acreage that would be preserved.

Schneiderman is apparently sold on the project, though he has yet to say he will positively vote for it.

Discovery has met all 10 criteria he set as a prelude to getting his endorsement, he acknowledged.

“How can I not vote for it?”

Councilwoman Christine Scalera said recently she would wait until the process was complete before drawing a final conclusion. That will be once the October 19 public hearing is held.

Councilman Stan Glinka said this week “I’m still going over it with a fine tooth comb. There have been some changes made and I have to say they are positive.”

Glinka said he awaits the upcoming public hearing. “The community will get a chance. I’ll listen to everyone and take notes. It’s important to let everyone speak.”

Glinka said he will make a final determination then.

Town Councilman John Bouvier did not return an email asking for his comments.

Gillebrand Signs On To Sanders Plan

By Rick Murphy

US Senator Kirsten Gillebrand of New York has agreed to co-sponsor major health insurance reform championed by Bernie Sanders, and a number of Democrats in Congress have signaled their support as well.

The development is significant – it is the first time Dems have publicly agreed en masse that President Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) isn’t working.

So far 15 Democratic senators have signed onto the bill. A similar bill in the House introduced by Rep. John Conyers has 117 cosponsors.

President Donald Trump becomes an interesting wildcard in the bid to make Sanders’s bill law. He recently broke ranks with Republicans and formed an alliance with Senator Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader of the House, to suspend the debt limit and provide funds for hurricane relief. The move stunned GOP stalwarts.

He promised to invest the money in mutual hedge funds, bonds,

Deepwater Hires Criticized

By Rick Murphy

Bonnie Brady, executive director of the Long Island Commercial Fishing Association, lambasted Deepwater Wind for two recent hires, charging the company has been promising to hire members of the local fishing community as liaisons for months and hasn’t done so.

Deepwater wants to install wind generators off Montauk and run an electric cable that will hook up to LIPA/PSEG lines here. Some environmentalists and many people in the fishing industry fear the installations will have a negative effect on fishing stock.

Jennifer Garvey was named development manager, Long Island by Deepwater last week.

Julia Prince was named Montauk manager and fisheries liaison.

Neither, said Bonnie Brady, has the background or knowledge necessary to understand the concerns of fishermen.

“They are pretty talking heads,” Brady said. “Just because they share a zip code [with fishermen] doesn’t mean they know anything.”

A spokesman for Deepwater said that Prince and Garvey were not intended to fill the roles reserved for members of the fishing community.

“From the beginning, we said there would be multiple roles to fill,” said Clint Plummer, vice president of development for Deepwater. He

pointed out that in Rhode Island, where Deepwater has a functioning offshore wind farm, Captain Rodman Sykes was hired to serve as liaison. “This is a long process.

We haven’t even submitted our application.”

Garvey previously held the position of associate director and co-founder of the New York State Center for Clean Water Technology at Stony Brook University. Prior to that she was deputy chief of staff for Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst.

and other traditional investment vehicles.

Instead, prosecutors said, he funneled the money into the Panoramic View Resort and Residences that he had purchased along with his brother-in-law, Adam Manson, in 2007.

After the thefts were revealed the Panoramic was sold for $40.3 million, which will be distributed to the investors Callahan snookered.

Heroin Claims Another After East Hampton Town Police found the body of Hallie Ulrich, 22 by the side of the road in Northwest Woods on September 7 the case was turned over to Suffolk County Homicide detectives.

Ulrich, it was ascertained, had died of a heroin overdose. A phone caller alerted police that there had been an overdose in the area.

It wasn’t until hours later that the pieces were put together. The caller, who used his cell phone, fled the scene, but not before someone covered Ulrich with a blanket.

Investigators quickly learned

September 20

2017

Michael Goericke, 28, was the boyfriend of the deceased, and the couple along with another friend had gone camping at Cedar Point Park just steps from where the body was found. Police also learned the couple were heroin users.

Goericke, reached by phone, agreed to meet with investigators, reportedly acknowledging making the phone call and moving the body to the location where it was found so he could get a cell phone signal.

That was on September 8, and the scheduled meeting with the police and Goericke was scheduled for later in the day. He never showed up, and investigators soon learned why – he had overdosed at his mother’s house in Flanders.

The investigation is ongoing -fentanyl-laced heroin has been responsible for a number of deaths on Long Island in recent months.

BRAZEN GUNPOINT ROBBERY There have been a rash of similar robberies over the last couple Continued On Page 52.

SEASONED PROFESSIONALS

Prince is a former East Hampton town councilwoman. Although her appointment was made public earlier this week, she has been unofficially representing Deepwater for some times at public meetings and events.

“When someone asked her about the fish she said there would be no problem,” Brady said.

“Julia is our Montauk manager and fisheries liaison. She is not a fisheries representative,” Plummer said.

“Just because you live in Montauk doesn’t mean you are part of the fishing community,” Brady countered.

According to a Deepwater press release, “Prince will lead community relations in Montauk and fisheries outreach with Long Island’s commercial and recreational fishing communities.”

Posting Regulation Tabled After Complaints

By Rick Murphy

Residents of an historically African American neighborhood in Sag Harbor are becoming increasingly alarmed about development they say is fueled by indifference on the part of village officials.

The latest salvo was served via a missive from the Sag Harbor Hills Improvement Association. It was triggered by a proposed amendment to the zoning code which would, if passed, delete the provision requiring every application before the Architectural Review Board be

posted on the applicant’s property.

David Gilmartin Jr., the Sag Harbor Village attorney, said the proposal was being advanced because it cost time and money to conform to the present law, no matter how mundane the project before the board.

“The law requires you to post your property even if your action doesn’t really require it – let’s say you are painting your back door,” Gilmartin explained.

Those types of home improvements, if undertaken on historic structures,

must get ARB approval but they do not require a public hearing. “They do, however, take up time to do the paperwork and make and post the sign,” Gilmartin added.

Proposed projects that require a public hearing will continue be posted, noted Liz Vail, the attorney for the ARB.

The village board, after hearing from some members of the public, tabled the proposed change, at least for now. Mayor Sandra Schroeder and ARB chairman Tony Brandt both disagreed with the idea that the proposed change would eliminate transparency. In fact, Schroeder voted against tabling the measure.

But the larger issue – that the Sag Harbor Hills neighborhood is changing, and the village doesn’t seem to be paying much attention, remains.

“It seems there have been challenges with the village’s compliance of its own village code,” the missive from the SHHIA read.

“A historic home on Gullrock Road has been partially destroyed recently without approval . . . another tall and large home on Terry Drive was constructed in violation of the village code, and the owners were granted a variance after construction was completed.”

Odd Beauty: The Techno-Eccentric World Of Steampunk

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

Southampton Arts Center presents “Odd Beauty: The TechnoEccentric World Of Steampunk,” curated by fellow Steampunk artist Art Donovan. The show promises the most ambitious international Steampunk exhibition in years.

The exhibit made its premiere at Oxford University’s Museum of the History of Science in 2009 and later at South Korea’s Seoul National Museum in 2014.

Artwork by Tom Banwell.

Over the past 10 years Steampunk has grown globally, influencing virtually every form of the visual arts and design. What gives this art form its identity? It’s the artists’ visual and cultural fascination with mechanical, gear-driven technologies of the past. The art form garners its influences from the 19th century Victorian Era, but also grabs inspiration from as far back as the mechanical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci and the locomotives of Raymond Lowey.

“This unique exhibition gives me the opportunity to feature true steampunk art by the finest creators in the genre -- those artists who invented and continue to define the style with their unique vision,” stated Donovan.

This exhibition presents works from some of the most renowned Steampunk artists and designers today. Along with Donovan, artists include Tom Banwell, David Barnett, Mike Cochran, Ian Crichton, Dave Duros, Steve Erenberg, Cameron Forrest, Paige Gardner, Eric Freitas, Vianney Halter, Steve La Riccia, Vincent Mattina, Sam van Olffen, Clayton Orehek, Daniel Proulx, Saxon Reynolds, Filip Sawczuk, Todd

Throughout the exhibition talks, films, and live music will take place.

On Saturday, October 7, enjoy a day with Paige Gardner, Steampunk costume maker, from noon to 5 PM followed by a talk with the artists.

The film Tower to the People - Tesla’s Dream at Wardenclyffe Continues will be screened on Friday, October 13, at 7 PM. On Sunday, October 15, at 6 PM attendees can enjoy a live musical performance and talk with Thomas Dolby in She Blinded Me With Science.

Photographer and traveler Laurie Fishman is equally as inspired by natural wonders. Fishman seeks out subjects with a story to connect the viewer with her images. A lifelong passion of animals and Mother Nature led the artist to Africa where she captured the environment of endangered animals. A portion of the proceeds from Fishman’s sales will be donated to wildlife and environment conservation organizations.

With a Master’s of arts in engineering, along with 12 years of experience directing a theater company, Kevin Bishop can do it all -- yet finds his greatest inspiration to be the East End. Inspired by Jackson Pollock, with drip paintings and strokes, his work reflects life on Accabonac Harbor.

will be on display through October 1.

Zoe Breen is a mother of two boys who uses her passion for the abstract and photography to express her creativity. Her paintings depict the innate desire for freedom, as works flow from a subconscious place.

Living by the motto “See What Happens,” Breen captures moments without planning ahead.

Photographs in the show were taken during her seven-month

devotion to sunrises, from winter into spring. The inspiration for it all was the natural magic of an explosion of color rising up from the horizon after the darkest of hours, and the animals that surrounded her.

“Experiencing and capturing the beauty of sunrises deepened my love and respect for nature and I now know that our gift is that we can see magic everyday right here on Earth. For me the greatest artist is Mother Nature,” Breen stated.

Adrianna Fierman uses clay in an intuitive approach to art. Her deep interest in the soul and spirit of each piece arises from the Native American belief that clay is a gift to guide one’s journey. Her work is formed through primitive, and intimate, hand forming techniques -- coiling and pinching.

“I find inspiration in the imperfections of nature and seek a balance between a torn edge or a crack, and a smooth, burnished surface,” said Fierman.

Each organic sculpture represents harmony amid the chaos of our modern world.

Similar to those exhibiting with her, Alyssa Peek blurs the lines between painting and photography, with her own company, Peek Photography, which launched in 2013. Her love from the Abstract Expressionism movement brings about a new perspective to traditional photography.

Prior to starting her own company, Peek spent over 20 years in the fashion industry. Each image is manipulated to bring about the passage of time, either in-camera or during post production.

The White Room Gallery is located at 2415 Main Street in Bridgehampton and is open Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 6 PM. For more information visit www.thewhiteroom.gallery You can follow more stories from Nicole Teitler on Facebook and Instagram @Nikki on the Daily.

Meadows Music & Arts

The Meadows Music and Arts Festival was held over this past weekend at Citi Field in Queens.

The three-day festival included headliners like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nas, Jay-Z, Run The Jewels, Weezer, Gorillaz, Future, LL Cool J, and so many others. I found myself with a friend’s extra ticket for Saturday and eagerly jumped at the opportunity to go.

Saturday highlights started with LL Cool J. Coincidentally over the past week I had read the book Kanye

West Owes Me $300 by Jensen Karp (it’s hilarious, you should read it) and watched the Hip-Hop Evolution mini series on Netflix (it’s great, you should watch it), both of which chronicle or discuss the origins of hip hop.

So what happened next was even more exciting. Within his hourlong set -- seeing as Queens is his hometown -- LL brought out A Tribe Called Quest, DMC, and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five. “We can’t forget where we

come from,” he told the crowd at the end of the show. It also didn’t hurt that we were just feet from the stage to experience this line up of legends.

The day continued to be great as we saw Future bring out Nicki Minaj as a special guest. Gorillaz closed out the night and featured guests like De La Soul, Mos Def, and Pusha T.

self-confidence through ageaccessible, non-threatening reading materials such as specially created, topical comic books. It strives to stimulate creativity and tolerance in students, giving them the tools to become a positive influence on their peers, while overcoming the social issues that face too many young people today.

The publication of a “Rise Above” comic book follows a new girl at school and the harassment she undergoes. “A picture says a thousand words,” Silberkleit said, gesturing toward a graphic of the girl, alone in her room with tears in her eyes, her head surrounded by her memory of the mean and angry kids from school that day. “This illustration can get to a child more than a speech or lecture. They can relate.”

Kindness Works, The Silberkleit Way

By Bridget LeRoy

East Hampton resident Nancy Silberkleit founded Rise Above Social Issues – the logo is a phoenix encircling the Earth – a foundation which tackles bullying and discrimination in schools. And she tackles these situations in a novel way – through the power of comic books. And this weekend, Rise Above is hosting a “Kindness Works” walk in East Hampton, on Sunday at 9:30 AM.

When Nancy Silberkleit stepped in as co-CEO of the Archie Comics empire in 2009, “It was a learning experience from the first day,” she said. Although her father-in-law, Louis H. Silberkleit, had cofounded

the company, and her late husband, Michael, had been the company’s chairman, “I had really spent 25 years as an art teacher. And I’ll be honest,” she added. “I wasn’t ever a really strong reader either.”

Because of this, she saw the importance in comics in promoting literacy. “It’s a tool for kids who aren’t readers. Reading comics can help promote confidence in their reading abilities, and that spreads into other parts of their lives,” she said.

But that got her thinking about the content of the comics. “Archie Comics has always had strong values, but I wanted to take that further.”

A meeting at the White House with Michelle Obama (“She’s a huge Archie fan!”) led Silberkleit to venture into a new comic about the importance of healthy eating and battling obesity in children.

But still, Silberkleit wanted to do more. She had been deeply affected by the coast-to-coast reports of the suicides of bullied teens and even tweens.

“When that boy at Rutgers, Tyler Clementi, jumped off the bridge because of bullying, I knew I had to do something.” That something was forming Rise Above Social Issues.

Rise Above Social Issues addresses challenging social issues by enhancing literacy and encouraging

Speaking about the “Kindness Works” 3K walk this Sunday in East Hampton, Silberkleit said, “It’s my first step in not only speaking out on approaches for society to deal with people’s difference, but it’s also my first fundraiser.” She has been working vigilantly on making comic books more accessible in schools and wants to go further, providing teacher manuals and booklets on how to handle gun violence.

“I mean, whoever would have thought that teachers would need to know how to handle gun violence?” she said, a bit sadly.

A tireless advocate for positive change, Silberkleit has publicly spoken on the subjects of bullying and discrimination across the globe.

“But sometimes you need to just do something in your own back yard.”

Literally.

The walk, which begins on Cove Hollow Road, “is only 3K, not 5K,” she said, “because I want everyone to feel like they can do it.” Along the route, Nancy Silberkleit will have posted positive affirmations and “things to reflect on.” One reads, “Everyone needs appreciation. Start upping your hellos with a smile.”

“Every person has value and wants

Guest-Worthy Recipe: Hilary Duff

By Zachary Weiss WHO: Hilary Duff, singer and actress INSTAGRAM: @HilaryDuff HILARY’S GUEST-WORTHY RECIPE: Delicious Fall Stew WHY? “Warm, savory stews and a glass

of red wine make the perfect cozy meal on a chilly fall evening. I love a hearty and healthy Bean and Chicken Sausage Stew paired with Callie Collection’s Fresh Red Blend. Making a soup or stew may seem intimidating, but it is actually incredibly easy – especially when you get your girls to help you!

Sometimes we put the “group” in “soup” by asking each of my friends to bring one simple ingredient, like kale, chicken broth, or olive oil.

We then chop, chat, and sip Callie Collection’s Fresh Red Blend while the stew simmers, and enjoy our amazing meal together.”

“I’m going to cry too,” I said, “because it’s Sunday afternoon and I am missing the Giants game while I watch a billion brown rotting leaves die.” (Make no mistake, they are all indeed brown.

My question is, if you could avoid getting sick all winter, wouldn’t you be able to snag one lousy brown rotting leaf out of the billions falling from the sky? Hint: They are in your hair, hat, hood, and all over your coat.)

RICK’S SPACE

by Rick Murphy

If It Wasn’t For Bad Luck I’m not superstitious.

That does not mean I am making fun of people who are, so please don’t call in and complain.

In fact, some of my best friends are superstitious. I think they should have their own bathrooms in North Carolina, I really do. Without black cats, mirrors, or ladders.

There are thousands of superstitions, I found out the other night while doing the kind of tedious though ultimately satisfying research I do each week for this column. Perhaps that is why I am a Pulitzer Prize nominee (I really am, by the way.) But I’m not one to pat myself on the back – I’m superstitious that way.

“All windows in the house should be open at death so the soul can leave.”

This was number 13 on a list compiled by Jamie Frater, “20 Weird Superstitions.” (He probably should have skipped 13 like they do a lot of NYC apartment building floors.)

Suppose you are in your house and a giant truck rumbles by outside

and shakes the house and a huge chest of drawers falls directly on top of you, making it almost impossible to breathe. A housemate runs in and says, “Let me get that off you!” You say, “Naw, just open the windows.” This isn’t superstition, it’s stupidity.

“A horseshoe hung in the bedroom will keep nightmares away.”

I’m not making these up. But will it keep mares away? What if the horse that is missing the shoe comes into your room, goes to the bathroom all over the bed and rug, and then leaves? If this happened while you were sleeping, do you think you would have a nightmare?

I would.

“If you catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn you will not catch a cold all winter.”

The worst vacation of my life was a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine to watch the leaves change colors and fall off the trees.

“Isn’t it beautiful? I’m going to cry?

The colors are so beautiful,” gushed my girlfriend at the time, who became my former girlfriend five

“If the groom drops the wedding band during the ceremony, the marriage is doomed.” I think this is a mistake. What it should read is “If the groom drops the wedding band during the ceremony AND LOOKS UP THE BRIDESMAID’S DRESS, the marriage is doomed.”

Here are some especially grim ones: “If a clock which has not been working suddenly chimes, SOMEONE’S GONNA DIE.”

“If a mirror in the house falls and breaks by itself, SOMEONE’S GONNA DIE.”

“Dropping an umbrella on the floor means that THERE WILL BE A MURDER IN THE HOUSE.” These dire warnings should be heeded especially carefully if you live alone.

“It is bad luck to light three cigarettes with the same match.”

Given what we know about cigarettes, it’s even worse luck if you smoke one of them.

This is an odd one: “If a friend gives you a knife, you should give him a coin, or your friendship will soon

Superstitions are not to be confused with old wives’ tales, which are merely psychotic mumblings from deranged women (aren’t they all?). The real deals are in Richard Webster’s “The Encyclopedia of Superstitions.” Pay heed to them.

For example, there is, “An awkward silence means an angel is passing over.” There are a lot of silent moments in my house, most often right after my wife Karen says, “Want me to cook tonight?”

I will leave you with this one: “Pass a newborn baby through a rind of cheese.”

In medieval England, expectant mothers made a “groaning cheese” - a large wheel of cheese that matured for nine months as the baby grew. When the “groaning time” or birth came, the cheese would be shared out amongst the family - and when nothing but the outer rind was left, the baby would be passed through the wheel of cheese on christening day.

Then the baby would be put in a mousetrap as bait.

Editorial Things That Make You Go ‘DUH!’

September 20

2017

Insight

The results of two studies making the rounds on the news and social media are eyebrow raisers. Eyebrow raisers not because the findings were so shocking so much as the need to conduct studies to reach the conclusions.

In the first, researchers found that people whose incomes are low are the most at risk for heart disease. No kidding. Even the most conservative of medical professionals acknowledges that stress is a key factor in the development of an array of ailments including heart disease.

Worried about making rent, worried about buying food, medicine, gasoline; living in unsavory situations, losing sleep trying to figure how to take care of their families. Working two jobs to make ends meet and still unable to better themselves or see anything but a dark future. All these stressors add up and combine with the lack of money for healthy food choices and the lack of time for self-care like exercise. So, that people with low incomes are at highest risk for heart disease is a no brainer.

Next up in the “telling us something we already know” realm is a study of which nations are the happiest and why. Hint: it’s not the US of A. The United Nations publishes an annual “World Happiness Report” listing countries where happiness reigns due to income, health, unity of purpose, and trust in government, to name key data points.

All the counties listed among the top 10 -- and the U.S of A is not among them -- are economically stable, with the gap between the richest and the poorest depicting low levels of inequality. They almost all have strong welfare systems, good healthcare, low unemployment, and high education rates. Are these surprises to thinking people? Paging Captain Obvious.

There was one somewhat surprising finding. People in the top 10 happiest countries almost all work the shortest number of hours each week. There is a very close correlation between the number of hours people work each year and their level of happiness. Happy people work less – and tend to live longer. In countries where people work excessive hours, it just feels like they’re living longer.

That one snippet runs counter to life in America where people are working longer hours, where workaholism is valued, rather than seen as a detriment to health and happiness, where doing whatever it takes to chase the cheddar earns accolades.

But the study shows financial factors pale in comparison to social factors when it comes to nurturing a happy populace.

So, who’s happiest? Norway, Denmark, and Iceland comprise the top three, a balmy climate apparently not necessary for joy. The United Sates ranked number 14, behind Austria, Canada, and Israel to name just a few. We’re ahead of Ireland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Chile, and dozens more.

The conclusions of the studies seem fairly self-evident. The heavy lift would be the changes in mindset, in public policy, and in political will, we’d need to bring us up the “happiest” list. Implementing those, now, wouldn’t that be a surprise and a shocker?

IS IT JUST ME?

Ed Gifford PDD Observations Dear Editor,

When Discovery Land of Arizona (the developer of a proposed golf resort in East Quogue known as The Hills) submitted an application for a Planned Development

District (PDD) several years ago, the opposition to the PDD faced a relatively simple challenge, i.e., to compare The Hills PDD to an as-of-right development.

Instead the opposition to The Hills proposed their own rather

JUST ASKING

Are you prepared for a hurricane?

complicated zoning vehicle known as a reduced-impact-equestrian alternative even though a model of uncomplicated zoning exists just down the street from The Hills. This model of good zoning is an as-of-right subdivision that reduced enrollments, created jobs, preserved woodland and provided clean water to the development and surrounding neighborhoods.

Dee Forman I live in Florida for part of the year so I’m not an amateur when it comes to hurricanes and preparation. I’ve always got plenty of batteries and bottled water on hand.

Charles Lerman I’m not really prepared but I don’t worry about it because with the weather channels you can’t miss it if one is coming. They let you know and there’s plenty of time to get ready.

As quickly pointed out by The Hills consultants, the opposition’s reduced-impact-equestrianalternative wasn’t a formal application and it also required special zoning considerations (not all that much different from The Hills).

Milt Abrams I’m somewhat prepared but if we hear on the news that there’s a hurricane coming, there’s always lots to do to really get ready. But we have a generator at home since the last big storm we had and that definitely helps.

After years of debate over two questionable alternatives, within the last few weeks, Discovery Land submitted a new PDD. I have a couple of observations.

Jane McMurray After Sandy, and being without power for days, I’m partially prepared. Since then I’ve always kept canned food, like tuna, and a few other things like that around. But the minute I hear the warnings I am out shopping.

Discovery Land’s old PDD increased density by allowing the developer to construct both a seasonal housing subdivision and a golf course. Job creation was catalogued as one of the benefits of the PDD.

However, in its new PDD, Discovery Land promised to purchase and preserve an additional 30 acres thus eliminating the construction of 30 houses.

Constructing 30 fewer homes translates into creating fewer jobs.

So if creating jobs is a rationale for creating a PDD, then the new Hills PDD fails to meet that criteria.

A similar paradox emerges when one analyzes the alleged tax revenues to be generated by The Hills PDD. In both its old and new PDDs, Discovery Land argued that seasonal housing would keep children out of the school thereby generating tax revenue without increasing costly school enrollments, whereas an as-ofright development would increase enrollments and thereby raise taxes.

In response, the opposition to The Hills insisted that no developer could legally keep children out of seasonal housing.

Unfortunately both arguments lack merit because both are based on the seriously-flawed assumption that all new housing in East Quogue will

By Karen Fredericks

be built for families with schoolage children. That’s not true.

As proof, one need only to scrutinize the construction of homes in Quogue, the village adjacent to East Quogue. Quogue is fully-developed and none of that development was created as seasonal housing via a PDD. Yet

school enrollment and taxes in Quogue are low.

So evidence exists in both East Quogue and Quogue to prove that an as-of-right development does not automatically increase enrollments nor does it automatically raise taxes.

Students from East Hampton have been chosen to participate in the 2018 National American Choral Directors Honor Choir (ACDA).

Hampton Bays Schools The Hampton Bays School District is pleased to announce that Hampton Bays High School student Daniel Dimijan has been selected as a semifinalist in the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program.

The senior is among the approximately 16,000 semifinalists nationwide who qualified for the honor based on their high PSAT scores. He will continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth about $33 million.

Dimijan, who intends to study within the field of computer science in college, is a member of his high school’s robotics team. He also runs cross-country and participates in the high school’s band and chorus.

Outside of school, he is teaching himself computer programing.

In recognition of their exceptional achievement on national Advanced Placement exams, 17 Hampton Bays High School seniors have

earned the title of Advanced Placement Scholar. In total, 15 students were named AP Scholars and two earned the recognition of AP Scholar with Honors. To earn AP Scholar recognition, students are required to score a 3 or higher on three or more AP exams, and to be recognized as an AP Scholar with Honor, students must earn a 3.25 on all AP exams and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of those exams.

The Hampton Bays School District extends its congratulations to AP Scholars Sydney Caldwell, Emma Candelaria, Daniel Dimijian, Conor Fleming, Lilly Griffin, Denisse Hernandez, Riley Kangas, Colette Levine, Sage McMorris, Caroline Oakland, Isabella Romano, Giovanna Rosante, Zoey Smith, Mackenzie Tyler, Matthew Zbikowski and AP Scholars with Honor Melissa Carranza and Anna Harris.

The students sent individual audition recordings several months ago. Before arriving in Pittsburgh on March 7, 2018, the students will work to prepare the music sent to them by world-renowned choral conductors. Upon arrival to Pittsburgh, the students will participate in an intense rehearsal schedule which will culminate with a concert given by the ACDA Honor Choirs.

There were only a total of 30 singers chosen from NY State, so to have eight of them from East Hampton is an incredible honor. They are: Emma Hren (grade 8), Reghan Anderson (grade 10), Sierra Brown (grade 7), Alison Fioriello (grade 10), Nicholas Cooper (grade 6), Julia Short (grade 12), Ava Arcoleo (grade 7), Wells Woolcott (grade 10).

Unlike other Hamptons events, which sometimes take up to a year to plan, Silberkleit came up with the idea about a month ago. “I just see so much going on in the world,” she said. “I wanted to be a path, to gather people together – people of all ages and strengths and abilities – so we can walk together for kindness.” If it goes well, she plans to end next year’s walk with a breakfast. “And after the walk, I hope that people can keep that kindness going,” she added.

Richel shares memories and reflections, all related, directly or indirectly, to his service in ‘Nam -- the odd path by which he got there, what he did over there, and how things have played out since then. During the course of the show, Stu’s words are punctuated by video projections of some of his Vietnam photos. Those shots bring his memories, and the difficult period of the war, into focus for the 21st century audience. His stories offer the audience a chance to reflect on friendship, trust, tenacity and the like, as we all stumble along and make our way.

The event is free, although registrations are required. Contact the East Hampton theater by calling the box office at 631-324-0806 or through the website at www.guildhall.org.

The North Fork Promotion Council, in partnership with the Town of Southold and Suffolk County Economic Development & Planning have launched a pilot transportation project “Experience The North Fork By Trolley” serving Mattituck LIRR to Greenport LIRR. This service is being operated by M &V Limousine of Commack, which will provide two passenger trolleys for the duration of the pilot, running two separate loops: Greenport LIRR to Peconic Lane through October 7 and Mattituck LIRR to Peconic Lane October 14 through November 11. The service runs on Saturdays from noon to 8 PM. Each loop will have two trolleys running approximately 30 minutes apart. There are hop on / hop off points at various places of interest, including wineries, craft beverage, downtowns, farm stands, restaurants, and lodging.

Riders are able to easily track the arrival time and progress of each trolley via the Go North Fork app.

The pilot is designed to gather insights and data which will influence decisions on a future implementation of a transportation solution serving the five East End towns. A broader service can begin to not only alleviate severe congestion but also provide a free service for all to travel from town to town without having to solve for parking issues.

The program has been funded with donations from Long Island Wine Council, East End Tourism Alliance via Empire State Development, Taste NY, and the Town of Southold as well as revenues raised from selling advertising space on the exterior of the trolleys.

Independent / Kitty Merrill Murfolk will abound as the Maritime Festival sails into Greenport this weekend.

By Kitty Merrill

Expect merfolk on parade, vendors filling the street, a Greek Bishop blessing the waters, and much more this weekend as the annual Maritime Festival sails into Greenport.

Hosted by the East End Seaport & Marine Foundation in partnership with the Village of Greenport, the weekend’s festivities begin Friday night with the Land and Sea Gala cocktail party on the grounds of Greenport Yacht and Shipbuilding.

Saturday morning’s parade through downtown Greenport kicks off the festival, followed by grand

displays of classic wooden boats, kayak races, demonstrations of high tech water sports, wood carving and model ship building, music, delicious food, high end artisanal vendors, children’s activities, fresh oysters, craft beers and local wines.

The evening brings music and dancing in Mitchell Park and screenings of original movies.

Sunday morning there is a children’s breakfast shared with mermaids and pirates, more family friendly activities throughout the village, and old fashioned games in Mitchell Park.

Front and Main Streets close to

Fire fighter and fire boat water demonstrations take place at 3:30 PM, with a cruise to Bug Lighthouse later in the day.

Sunday morning starts off with a mermaid and pirate breakfast hosted by Front Street Station, then more family friendly activities, demonstrations, blacksmith shop, Camera Obscura, vendors lining the streets of the village, old fashioned games on the Green, children’s snapper contests, and raffle drawings. Visits to the East End Seaport Museum, Railroad Museum, Fire Boat Museum, and Stirling Historical Society round out the two day festival.

The annual Maritime Festival is the largest fundraiser of the East End Seaport Museum. Monies raised enable them to continue offering a variety of community programs, lighthouse tours, changing exhibits, activities, scholarships, and pride in the East End’s common nautical heritage.

Admission to the festival is free, but fees may apply to some activities.

votes on this issue as well. Politico reported Trump, Schumer, and Pelosi had dinner together last Wednesday.

Sanders’s bill, if enacted, would phase in a universal, governmentrun health care program over four years. Children up to 18 would be enrolled in Medicare right away, and the minimum eligibility age for the program, which is currently 65 for most people, would decrease over the next few years. By the third year, the Medicare minimum eligibility age would be 35.

“By the fourth year, every individual who is a resident of the United States will be entitled to benefits for comprehensive health care services and will get a Universal Medicare card that they can use to receive the health care they need,” Sanders said.

“I’ll be fighting with Bernie – and I hope with all of you – to pass Medicare-for-All and finally give every American access to affordable, good-quality health care,” Gillebrand said.

Pelosi declined to back the Sanders plan this week, saying she is instead focused on efforts to shield ObamaCare from Republican attempts to rescind it.

“Right now, I’m protecting the Affordable Care Act,” Pelosi said.

“None of these other things … can really prevail unless we have the Affordable Care Act.” She did say she would review Sanders’s bill.

Disloyal?

Sanders has been advocating for what he calls a “Medicare For All” health care system for decades, but Senate colleagues previously willing to back his legislation rallied for Clinton and the status quo,

ObamaCare.

When Sanders persisted, he was accused of being disloyal to the party.

Clinton, who found herself locked into a surprisingly contentious primary battle, lambasted Sanders over and over again on the matter.

“Based on every analysis that I can find by people who are sympathetic to the goal, the numbers don’t add up, and many people will actually be worse off than they are right now.”

But, according to ABC News, Sanders and his supporters, along with progressive lawmakers at state and local levels, continued to float the idea of a universal health care system, especially as ObamaCare ran into more and more roadblocks.

Assemblyman Fred Thiele has been pushing for a single-payer system in New York State for some time and currently has legislation pending that is stalled in the state senate.

“With the failure, so far, of all attempts to either repeal ObamaCare or fix it, I think this alternative will get a new look,” Thiele said of Sanders’s proposal. He noted every potential Democratic presidential candidate seems to be sponsoring the Sanders bill.

Gillebrand, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, and Kamala Harris, are, along with Sanders, the early frontrunners to win the 2020 Democratic nomination for president. Tellingly, all of them have indeed come out in favor of a single-payer health plan modeled like the one Sanders is proposing.

“I think single payer will save money, but does the public want to pay that in taxes rather insurance premiums?” Thiele asked. “The real question is will the people trust the government to operate the system?”

signed the letter.

Sag Harbor Hills, along with the adjacent communities of Ninevah Beach and Azurest, are historically black communities comprised mostly of modest homes. In recent years a builder has been buying up properties and expanding them, and a number of waterfront homes have been transformed into larger, modern structures.

Gilmartin said the village had downsized the maximum square footage of a structure allowed on a given sized lot several times.

The village can’t do much to change the fact some longtime members of the community are selling to developers, but Vail stressed the proposed legislation was merely an attempt to streamline the process, not to skirt a level of review or public scrutiny.

“The burden is on the building department. Every application bogs down the process,” she said.

Thiele continued, “Locally, we came to know her as an advocate for increased services for the LGBT community on Long Island, particularly for our youth. She was a source of inspiration to me, as one who co-sponsored the Marriage Equality Act on the state level.

“I always enjoyed seeing Edie at the beginning of each summer at her home in Southampton for her backyard barbeque to support the LGBT Network. Her legacy will live on for all those who cherish equality and continue the fight against discrimination in our society.”

Governor Andrew Cuomo also issued a statement following the news of Windsor’s death. “I am heartbroken by the passing of my friend Edith Windsor. Edie was an iconic New Yorker who carried on the fight for equality and achieved an historic victory on the path to justice. She embodied the New York spirit, taking it upon herself

many Long Islanders have grown accustomed to and have come to love. It is our hope that the Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan will play a critical role in reversing the trend of worsening algal blooms that has been observed in recent years,” stated Dick Amper, executive director, The Long Island Pine Barrens Society.

Dr. Gobler, whose lab groups has been monitoring and sampling Long Island’s waters on a weekly basis all summer, compiled the report on the summer of 2017.

Data was also collected from the Long Island Sound Study, which is funded by US Environmental Protection Agency.

The map generated by the report shows precisely where on Long Island various algal blooms and low oxygen zones developed. Events depicted include algal blooms caused by Alexandrium resulting in paralytic shellfish poisoning and shellfish bed closures; rust tides caused by the algae Cochlodinium; brown tides caused by Aureococcus; and toxic blue green algae blooms commonly caused by Microcystis.

Seaweed blooms caused by Ulva were the only impairment not found on the East End. The map also depicts hypoxic or low oxygen zones, which are dangerous to marine life in more than 20 locations across Long Island, including portions of Shinnecock Bay and in the Peconic Estuary.

It’s not all bleak, as DeLuca made clear.

Local and state government have added an array of arrows to the water quality quiver. They include:

• Suffolk County’s grant program to allow homeowners $10,000 to replace aging septics with new waste water treatment technologies (Check last week’s Indy for news of the first installation in Flanders.)

Fast Start For Bonac Field Hockey

By Rick Murphy

It was a nice weekend for the East Hampton field hockey team. The Bonackers turned in two shutout performances in as many days to run their conference record to 4-1 in Suffolk’s Division II.

Saturday, playing at home, the locals engaged a very tough Shoreham/ Wading River team and much of the game was spent in middle field.

Both teams were exhausted, but the locals persevered, mounting a late drive. Catherine Wicker found the net with 82 seconds left and that proved the winner in the 1-0 contest. Maddie Schenck, minding the net, recorded two saves. SWR dropped to 3-3 with the loss.

A day earlier Bonac bested Babylon 60

at home 3-0. Lina Bistrian tallied two of the goals, giving her four for the season. Elizabeth Bistrian scored once, her third of the year, and Mia Schultz and Wicker earned assists.

Next up is Pierson/Bridgehampton on Monday in Sag Harbor at 4:30 PM. The Lady Whalers are 0-4 on the season and in last (15th) place.

Other local teams in Division II are Hampton Bays (0-3, 14th place), Greenport/Southold, (1-3, 12th place), and Southampton 2-2, (ninth place). Miller Place, 5-0, and Rocky Point are the two teams ahead of East Hampton.

Joining Active Bodies Move over Zumba, there’s a new dance class in town. Pulse, at JABS in Cutchogue, is a fitness class that is reminiscent of those dance classes so many us loved taking as kids. Hip-hop, pop, Latin all fused together with cardio training and even some boxing moves.

Studio owner Jill Schroeder began with Zumba in 2007 but moved in a different direction. “Two years ago I started to move away from the Latin style of things and wanted to create my own choreography and incorporate the music that I like.

So I coined it ‘Pulse.’ The fitness elements break it up. It’s a great work out but you’re having fun as well.”

If Pulse doesn’t get your heart rate going, JABS -- an acronym for Joining Active Bodies Studios -- offers numerous classes daily including yoga, spin, barre, TRX, and more. The studio is going into its seventh year running, originally starting in Mattituck but calling Cutchogue home for four and a

half years. Schroeder is opening up a dual location in Riverhead -- set to open any day now.

With the motto ‘Fueled by enthusiasm, motivated by passion,’ JABS inspires members to constantly push their physical limits, all with a smile on their faces, which is exactly what Schroeder has always dreamed of doing. “There’s a lot of passion that I’ve put into this business and the programs that I’ve developed. And it’s really cool to see the enthusiasm from others partaking in it and being here,” she relayed.

JABS’s current location boasts 5000 square feet of space and Riverhead will match that size. 10,000 total square feet? That’s a rather large upgrade from the mere 1500 sq. ft. space at the original studio.

“I guess you never really know where things are going to take you,” Schroeder admitted. “I opened up the first location, I had just finished some schooling … I opened up

the doors and I packed out.” She always wanted to have more than one location, she said. “I did want more.”

Classes are $25 each, with other options for class packs or unlimited memberships. Now, in anticipation for the grand opening in Riverhead, there are special promo packs (redeemable at both locations) going through October 1. Choose between 5, 10, 20 or 40 class packs.

If getting outside in the crisp autumn air is more your thing, register to be on TEAM JABS for one of their Fall 5K’s.

Pierson, the 2016 Suffolk County Class Champs, looks like a contender again. The Whalers have outscored opponents 18-4 so far this season but were tested Friday at Southold, coming away with a 2-1 victory against the Settlers.

Habtamu Couler set up both goals for the winners, one by Jorge Alvarado and the game winner by Luis Padilla. Netkeeper Wil Martin turned away six shots on goal. Last Wednesday the locals took out Greenport, 3-1. Sam Warne scored twice, Grady Burton found the net, and Martin notched the win.

The Whalers play at Southampton tonight at 7. It will be a pivotal match for the Whalers.

Southampton, playing in League VII, has reeled off five straight wins since securing a tie in the season opener. The Mariners were the 2015Class B champs back in 2015 and look primed and ready for another run this time around.

If last Friday’s action is any indication, the Whalers have a tall task ahead. Southampton crushed Center Moriches, 9-1, scoring six times in the opening half. Ben Hamilton had five points including three goals and Eric Amaya tallied two goals and added an assist. Jack Wicks assisted on three goals.

Laube Powers ‘Canes Again

By Rick Murphy

There is something in the air in Westhampton, something that foretells a magical event that will shortly occur. High school football fans feel it, and that’s what they show up by the hundreds to see their team, the Hurricanes, play.

One of the big reasons, of course, is to see Dylan Laube play in this, his senior season. It is kind of akin to seeing a legend on his farewell tour, a chance to glimpse a Jeter or Elway perform one more time so you can tell your grandkids about it.

And make no mistake about this: when the dust settles on the 2017 season and the full measure of Dylan Laube’s accomplishments are tallied, we will be left with a body of work unparalleled in Suffolk County, accomplishments that will place him at or near the top of the list of the greatest high school football players in county history.

First, the latest legend-making moment. Westhampton had to travel to Half Hollow Hills West Saturday to play the division’s topranked team before a hostile crowd.

The game was nip and tuck until Laube went back for a punt return in the second stanza. Backed up to his own eight-yard line, the senior took off on a 92-yard jaunt to put the Hurricanes ahead, 13-7.

Hills held firm, though, and was still in it when when Laube burst through the line in the fourth for a 62-yard run. He scored again later in the quarter - icing on the cake - as the Hurricanes made a statement, winning 33-7, a testimony not just to Laube but also to a stifling defense that is coming on strong.

For his part Laube ended up with 216 yards on 25 carries - pedestrian numbers for him, a career for many other running backs – and the two TDs plus another on the punt return. Tyler Nolan added 48 yards on nine carries; Shavar Coffey 38 and Clarke Lewis ran for a 13 yard TD and hit Nolan Quinlan on a 55yard bomb to open the scoring.

Laube, a Newsday All-Long Island selection, scored 40 touchdowns in 2016, including four kick returns, and rushed for 2152 yards as well as gaining more than 200 receiving. Unofficially, only seven

Suffolk players have gained more in a single season. Laube scored 23 touchdowns as a sophomore.

He has committed to attend New Hampshire University.

Laube, 5’11”, weighs only 175 but has 4.5 speed, and that helps. He is also one of the best lacrosse players in the state. By the way, he played Saturday’s game with a sore ankle.

Saturday the Hurricanes look to go to 3-0 in Division III when they face Eastport/South Manorville at home.

Kickoff is 2 PM and a crowd of as many as 2000 faithful will be on hand to witness the farewell tour.

In other local action Riverhead is 1-1 after getting blasted by Centereach on the road Saturday, 43-8. They play Smithtown East at home Saturday afternoon at 1:30. In Division IV Mercy is tied for first after opening the season with victories over Southampton (21-14) and Mattituck/ Southold (30-14). The Monarchs play at Mt. Sinai Saturday at 1:30 PM. Hampton Bays lost to Babylon 46-6 Friday. The Baymen look to regroup at home Saturday against Miller Place. Kickoff is 6 PM.

The Mariners get Glenn at home Friday at 4 PM.
