Tom Twomey: 12/8/45 - 11/16/14

He was “a man of great and lasting deeds.” That’s how Ruth Appelhof, executive director of Guild Hall, described Tom Twomey. A member of Guild Hall’s executive committee, Thomas Aloysius Twomey, Jr. died Sunday morning. A biography submitted by his family and colleagues follows, with additional quotes added by The Independent.

Thomas A. Twomey, Jr., Senior Partner and founder of the largest law firm on the East End of Long Island, died suddenly at his home on Two Holes of Water Road in East Hampton on Sunday morning, November 16, 2014. He was 68 years old. The son of a New York City Police Detective, Tom’s love of Eastern Long Island began with summers spent vacationing with his family in Mattituck. A graduate of Manhattan College, Tom put himself through University of Virginia and Columbia Law Schools selling kitchen knives, one of the first examples of his business acumen. Tom arrived in East Hampton in 1973 after a year of adventure and travel around the world. Among his more memorable experiences was being chased by an elephant in his

rented Volkswagen Beetle. Although Tom settled and made his home in East Hampton for over 40 years, he decided to establish his law firm in Riverhead, so that it would become a firm for the entire region. Senator Ken LaValle has worked with Tom at Twomey, Lathan, Shea, Kelley, Dubin & Quartararo LLP, for 12 years. “But we know each other going way back to when he ran for Congress,” the senator recalled, speaking from his chambers in Albany on Monday morning. Tom ran in 1980, the senator said, “and we became friends.” “Tom was a very bright and caring human being,” LaValle observed. “The law firm he started, Tom was really the rock that law firm was built on.”   Tom divided the early years of his legal career between building his private practice, acting as counsel to local municipal boards and spearheading numerous local, county and statewide public interest efforts. Tom was among the first to recognize the severe limitations on traffic posed by the geography of the East End and shortly after he set

up his practice, he organized a civic organization, Halt The Highway, and led the fight to prevent the proposed extension of the Sunrise Highway from Shinnecock Hills to Amagansett. Many of the thousands of acres which would have been used for the proposed highway have now been protected by public acquisition, or through low-density zoning, in order to preserve Eastern Long Island’s sole source aquifer. In 1975, working with County Legislator Joyce Burland and other local activists, Tom convinced the Suffolk County Legislature to pass the landmark Farmland Preservation Program. In later years, as the Chairman of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s East End Economic and Environmental Institute, Tom was instrumental in extending farmland preservation through all of New York State with the passage of the New York State Farmland Preservation Program. His other accomplishments on that Commission included increased state support for the local tourist and wine industries as well as the recreational needs of the East End. In 1977, Tom was retained by a group of local farmers to oppose

the Long Island Lighting Company’s proposal to build four nuclear power plants in Jamesport, on the North Fork. Tom built a broad, statewide coalition of environmental, civic and political groups in opposition to the Jamesport plants and ultimately to the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant, all of which were defeated. Tom had a great passion for the history of Eastern Long Island, particularly the Town of East Hampton. His leadership role in East Hampton’s 350th Anniversary Celebration resulted in his being Continued on Page 30.

SHOWTIME PRESENTS “THE GUANTANAMO SHOW” I thought of this show a while ago, when I read about all the problems that President Barack Obama was having for his failure to close Guantanamo as he had promised when he was selling us Hope and Change. Obama has made it clear that when he said he was going to close Guantanamo he didn’t mean he was going to close Guantanamo . . . It’s like health care – another great idea that he didn’t explain to the slow-witted American people. But this doesn’t satisfy all the dogooders who insist that Obama must close Guantanamo now. The list of people who are pressing Obama on Guantanamo is a long one: There’s the Center for Constitutional Rights, Amnesty International, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Bill of Rights Defense Committee, Project Salam: Support and Legal Advocacy for Muslims, World Can’t Wait, Defending Dissent Foundation and

many others. On top of that, the U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay put her foot down softly and called on the United States to close down the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, immediately. Not one of these groups, nor Ms. Pillay, has commented on the fact that as many as 30 former Guantanamo Bay detainees – some of whom were released within the last three years – are now part of ISIS, killing men, women and children who don’t happen to share their religious beliefs. And don’t you just wonder why the U.N. and any of those groups protesting Guantanamo hasn’t traveled to ISIS-held towns in Syria and Iraq to check on ISIS treatment of prisoners? You know, perhaps someone in one of these groups and in the U.N. might want to tell the ISIS leaders face-to-face that they want to see how they treat people whose heads

they are planning to cut off. Or at least check that the knives they use to cut off the heads of innocent people are clean and free of germs. But enough about torture and death. Thanks to these groups of do-gooders, being a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay is going to be a piece of cake, and that’s my idea for a television show – on Showtime. The show takes place in Guantanamo Bay prison and it’s patterned after a great old television hit of the 1960s, “Hogan’s Heroes.” You remember in “Hogan’s Heroes” that Colonel Hogan (played by Bob Crane) led a ragtag band of American POWs in what was a very popular television comedy. Our show will feature an Arab terrorist leading his band of terrorist POWs from the prison at Guantanamo and my show will be called “Hakim’s Heroes.” Get the switch? In this one the Arab prisoners are like the Americans and the American jailers are like the German guards in “Hogan’s Heroes.” The bumbling Germans gave Hogan and his crew plenty of opportunities to sabotage their war efforts. Our show will feature the bumbling Americans allowing the terrorists to have the run of Guantanamo Bay prison and hatching fun-filled terrorist plots all over America. I say they attempt to blow up one American city per episode. In “Hakim’s Heroes,” Hakim will be played by Alec Baldwin. John Goodman will play the part of the dumb Sgt. Hans Schultz. Bob

IN THE NEWS

Balaban will play the part of Col. Wilhelm Klink. Guest stars? I’ve got a million of them. How about to get the sex angle into this – Kim Kardashian. The sex stuff is tricky with the Arabs — you know how they are with women. So forget Kim Kardashian’s big ass if you can. In our show Kim Kardashian spends most of the show trying to show Hakim her bare arms. And Kim, the great talent that she is, will have the Arab POWs wetting their sheets with laughter until she makes the mistake of telling them that she would love to get stoned. Think of the laughs when she discovers that a woman being stoned is different in the Muslim world. I think we can sell this series to the billion Muslims out there. I think too many people in this country underestimate the great sense of humor that Muslims have. They love jihad jokes. The subsidiary rights alone to Al Jazeera ought to be worth millions. And the season finale — we’re going right to the top with this one. The Arabs work out a way to smuggle that great bleedingheart liberal Barbra Streisand into Guantanamo so she can entertain their troops. Think of it: Barbra singing to a bunch of cut-throat ISIS terrorists, watching them break down and sob when she sings: “People, People who cut off the heads of people, Are the holiest people in the world.” If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Sustainable East Hampton: Leading The (Car) Charge By Kitty Merrill

Last spring they vowed to go all sustainable. Last Friday members of the East Hampton Town Board added another arrow to their green quiver. Board members set a lofty goal of meeting 100 percent of the town’s electricity needs through renewable sources by 2020. They aim to meet all energy consumption needs with renewable sources by 2030. At a press conference in chilly wintry weather last week, the board unveiled a hot new device – an electric vehicle charging station at town hall. Buzz Chew Chevrolet and Tesla Motors lent electric cars for a demonstration of the station. Councilwoman Sylvia Overby did the honors of plugging in the first car. Grants from the New York State

Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) were used to fund the installation. The grant award was designed to encourage the town workforce and members of the public to embrace electric vehicles, which -- especially when powered by renewable energy sources -- provide the opportunity to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. NYSERDA is contributing approximately $10,500, about 85 percent, of the full cost of equipment and installation, while NYPA is providing the remaining 15 percent. The stations can accommodate credit cards and Supervisor Larry Cantwell said he’d like to see at least three more similar stations

“I am proud that East Hampton has joined many other communities in supporting electric vehicles by providing a charging station at Town Hall,” said Overby, the town board liaison to the Energy Sustainability Committee. “This is part of our commitment to environmental sustainability.” “I thank the Natural Resources Department for applying for the funds for this electric vehicle charging station, which moves the town one step closer to energy efficiency,” said Supervisor Cantwell. John Botos from the Natural Resources Department is the town’s sustainable energy point person. He said town officials want to provide the infrastructure so that when people buy electric cars they have places to charge them. Tomorrow night the town board is expected to hold a public hearing on a law that, if adopted, would make it easier for people to install private charging stations. Jim DiSunno from Buzz Chew Chevrolet was on hand for the unveiling. He brought a Chevy Volt to the celebration and noted the car can go up to 50 miles on one charge. Every Chevy dealer in the country has charging stations. “It’s great to see the town step up,” he said. Town department heads are being encouraged to consider electric vehicles when they need to replace cars, Botos reported, noting the general public will also be able to use the charging station at town hall. Soon after the press conference, Botos was on the road, on his way to represent East Hampton at a conference in Germany to learn strategies European towns that vowed to go “all sustainable” used. East Hampton was selected to participate, and Botos’ trip was paid for by the German Foreign Office because of its sustainability goal.

Town To Purchase Hidden Cove By Rick Murphy

The saga of Indian Cove Motel is finally over. The Hampton Bays motel has probably achieved more infamy than any since the Bates Motel. For the past two years a furor raged over the conversion of the motel to a homeless shelter. To do so, the Suffolk County Department of Social Services moved to evict several year-round residents. The situation worsened when neighbors began to complain, and Southampton Town objected to the change of use, arguing the motel was originally designed for seasonal renters. Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst and DSS head Gregory Blass butted heads over the matter. The Concerned Citizens of Hampton Bays have long been critical of Hidden Cove, stating the neighborhood saw an increase in crime after its conversion to a homeless shelter and that it added dozens of children to the school district without paying a full share of increased property taxes. Last week the town announced it is acquiring the motel on West Tiana

Road for $2.3 million. The town will use Community Preservation Fund money to purchase the 2.2-acre parcel. The purchase is consistent with an East End wide movement to lessen the impact of aging, substandard septic systems on the waterways – Hidden Cove sits on a creek. “This is a sensitive property on a compromised street. It could have been sold on the open market,” Throne-Holst said. Though the DSS moved out last year, the motel has operated since, the units mostly rented as yearround dwellings. Throne-Holst said it’s the town’s position that the motel is for seasonal use only. Once the CPF purchase is complete the motel will be razed. The supervisor stressed CPF will not be used to purchase “nuisance properties” – Hidden Cove’s aging and overused septic system, coupled with its proximity to the wetlands, made it a CPF candidate. “We learned from Superstorm Sandy that the wetlands like this act as a sponge when a surge happens,” Throne-Holst said. The purchase dovetails with a regional effort to upgrade septic systems that compromise local waterways. East Hampton Town identified over 2000 properties that fit the bill. Governor Andrew Cuomo has set aside $2 million to fund the Stony Brook Clean Water Initiative, and Bloomberg Philanthropies, a charity set up by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, pledged to give $1 million toward the development of the New York State Center for Clean Water Technology.

Are 4-Posters A Possibility? By Kitty Merrill

There were probably more deer in a half-mile radius of Ashawagh Hall last Thursday night than there were people inside the Springs hall hoping to talk about the four-legged critters. For years now officials in East Hampton have grappled with solutions for managing the deer population. The high incidence of tick-related illnesses has been a driving force behind the push. While elected officials are seemingly trapped between a segment of the population that wants deer numbers decreased through lethal methods and another that opposes any measure that harms animals, a new foundation has formed with a plan to kill the creatures nobody likes -- ticks. Last Thursday night, members of the East Hampton Deer and Tick Management Foundation presided over a presentation about a 4-poster program that in one locality resulted in a 96 to 97-percent reduction in blacklegged ticks. The nonprofit’s goal in hosting the event, according to one of the group’s founders, Randy Parsons, was to stimulate discussion about an approach that’s been used on Shelter Island, and to strategize about raising private funds to support a publicly-run program. The Foundation hopes to raise $50,000 by December 31 and get a pilot program in place by next March. The plan is to set up units in eight sites in Springs. (See map above.) Wildlife biologist Michael Scheibel, who worked on the Shelter Island program, gave an overview of how a 4-poster system works. The unit’s design calls to mind a large trash can with tiny ports and “posts” on springs that hold what look like paint rollers. The huge container is filled with corn to entice deer. “It’s like candy for them,” Scheibel said, “They like to eat it.” Only a small amount of corn will fill the ports. To get to it, a deer has to twist down in a way that results in its coming in contact with Tickicideinfused rollers. As the animal lifts its head, the rollers apply the Tickicide to the deer’s head and ears. The chemical kills adult ticks attached to the deer, thus interrupting the insect’s life cycle. Scheibel offered that two issues raise concern for the public: how much the program costs and its potential impact to the environment. The chemical used in Tickicide is permethrin. It’s applied as an “oily emulsion,” Scheibel explained.

“It doesn’t dissolve in water. The amount found in the meat of treated deer is so low, one could eat a third of a pound of the venison every day for life and exposure levels would fall far below the EPA threshold linked to health consequences, the biologist said. Additionally, during a study conducted on Shelter Island and Fire Island, with North Haven used as the control locale (control meaning no 4-posters were set up), deer in North Haven actually tested with higher levels of the Tickicide. Scheibel theorized the deer were unwittingly “treated” with the chemical when they rubbed up against shrubbery that had been sprayed. Still, an audience member

pointed out that Tickicide is outlawed in Europe, and Scheibel noted it can only be applied by a licensed technician. The expense associated with employing the technician to monitor and maintain the equipment comprises the Continued on Page 23.

RICK’S SPACE Kalefornia

I knew we were in trouble about 30 years ago when I stepped off a plane at L AX and like most transcontinental smokers hurriedly lit up a cigarette. “Excuse me, sir, but there is no smoking at the airport,” some guy in a blue uniform gravely informed me. “Dude, we’re outside,” I pointed out as I continued puffing away. Turns out I could have been arrested. This points out in a nutshell the difference between California and New York. Californians are always the first to go over the top with their obsession to cheat death, or at least postpone it, and look good doing it. So it comes as no surprise that California is “The Kale Capital Of The World.” According to Bloomberg, 390 farms harvested 1680 acres of the crop, almost quadruple the 2007 numbers. (By the way, for those who enjoy their kale with industrial chemical sludge, New Jersey ranked third.) OK, let’s add up the number of

times any one of us ate kale between the ages of one and 21: and the answer is . . . once. That’s because it is bitter, chewy, and as grandma used to say, “It binds you up.” That sentence is a prelude to, “Honey, go to the drug store and get me some Ex-Lax.” Why, then, are Californians so fascinated with kale? “It’s good for the lady parts,” Karen said. “Then why do I have to eat it? “It’s good for your colon.” No one asked my colon, that’s for sure. He would have said “I ain’t no lady part, pal!” Soon, all things popular in LA spread to the rest of the country. People forget that a wrap was once as rare as kale around these parts. We had sandwiches, heroes, and rolls. Now everything is on a wrap: “Can I get avocado, sprouts, kale, and cucumber on a spinach wrap with vitamin juice?” “Yes sir, can I get you a vagina with that?”

Speaking of avocados, blame California for that, too. It was Los Angeles where guacamole became popular, and tacos, and all the other Mexican foods. Now there are Mexican restaurants all over the country. What is the difference, you ask? Because California has a large percentage of, you guessed it, Mexicans. There is nothing sadder than going into a Mexican restaurant in Missouri and listening to some cattle herder order. “I’ll have one of them there chilly ta-tatas with no beans or cheese, and give me some of that there mole but I like ‘em in stew if ya got that and I’ll take an order of Free-toes but no chips, the missus says I got too much paddin’ on the seat if you know what I mean.” I went to a party the other night without having dinner. The only stuff to eat were things I had never even heard of 30 years ago. There were blue chips with some sort of jalapeno dip. Two thoughts about this: there is nothing blue on the entire planet that is edible, and jalapeno peppers are never a good idea. When we were kids we ate Red-Hots candy, and that was as close as I want to get to the real thing. At least when you got the runs from the candy it didn’t burn. They served California rolls. Never before in the history of food

And I’ll pass on that steak tartar, which loosely translated means “slice of dead cow flesh with some sort of crappy sauce on it.” So I’m walking around the party, filled with pretentious people, starving half to death.

Apparently pigs are the new piping plover. That was it for me. Two muscular women who didn’t look like “sisters” escorted me out. Thank god this didn’t happen in California or I’d be dead now.

EDITORIAL

Manipulating Numbers The Southampton School District has been pushing a proposed merger with the Tuckahoe School District down the throats of its taxpayers for two years. Despite being repeatedly rejected, the district stubbornly puts new lipstick on the proposal and resubmits it, hoping one of these days voters will approve. The latest non-binding vote was slated to take place yesterday. Yes, the merger would be good news for the beleaguered taxpayers of Tuckahoe; school taxes would be cut by a third over the course of 10 years, a projected savings of $4800 annually for the average household. The district claims Southampton taxes will rise only about $330 per year for the average homeowner, which assumes a lot of optimistic things will happen that in reality probably won’t. What galls us is the manner in which the resolution is presented to voters: the ballot says that if the merger is rejected “Southampton will have a $3 million annual shortfall” if Tuckahoe students are sent to another district. Under the worst scenario, even if Tuckahoe decided to send all graduating eighth graders to another high school, Southampton would simply have to make appropriate cuts in staff to adjust accordingly. Since there is now a spending cap in place the district would not be able to raise taxes to make up the shortfall, which is the implied threat district officials are making. The truth is, though, Southampton can simply cut a deal with Tuckahoe – like the one now in place – wherein Tuckahoe agrees to send its graduates to Southampton in exchange for a preset tuition. Southampton has made its case for a merger, and voters soundly rejected it. Now the district has taken to scare tactics and manipulating data to scare its property owners into submission. It is, frankly, outrageous behavior and should not be tolerated. Tell your school board members enough is enough and if they don’t hear you, vote them off the board.

Peace And Quiet Dear Editor, Mr. Wilkinson writes that he has refrained from comment on Town matters until now because he feared his comments would be viewed as “political.” Thus, I assume that his letter did not mention that he is now paid by The Friends of East Hampton Airport because he fears his comments will be viewed in the context of his and his employer’s financial interests, as well they should be.

I fail to see what is wrong with objecting to, and trying to ameliorate the intolerable noise that a large portion of our community is subjected to every day from May through Labor Day and beyond. Indeed, our elected officials would be remiss if they did otherwise. Simply put Mr. Wilkinson, quality of life, peace and quiet are legitimate concerns of government. It is these issues that are bigger than the wishes of any individual or group, including the one that pays you to support their ability to turn a profit. PAUL GREENFIELD Editor’s Note: Wilkinson did indeed point out in his original essay that he was a paid consultant but writing as an individual.

past week, pointing out a large increase in new admissions has packed the current school building to the brim. We all saw that coming. This paper has urged the district to start planning for its own high school for a decade; instead East Hampton, where Springs graduates attend, stubbornly insisted on building an $80 million extension that would be half empty without the Springs students and the Springs administration went along with it. Without Springs, East Hampton would have a cavernous half-empty high school building; instead that district keeps raising the tuition Springs pays. That money should be going towards a brand new Springs High School. What angers Springs taxpayers is the same administrators urging the public to do something about the overcrowding have turned a deaf ear to the public’s outcry over what they say is an influx of illegal students into the district that causes the overcrowding to begin with. New construction is stagnant, there have been no affordable rental units added, and the birth rate at the hospital is relatively stagnant. Where then, are these new students coming from, and where do the live? If Springs wants more classroom space – and the need is obvious – they must address the other half of the equation and answer the hard questions. The district should immediately hire a full time investigator, perhaps with some part time help. That person, perhaps a former detective or code enforcement officer, should be motivated to work at night and on weekends. The cost would be less than the cost of one veteran teacher. Every child in school needs to have his and her address validated, and every property in Springs needs to be under periodic surveillance. The owners of properties should be verified, and renters with a valid lease recorded and double-checked. Students who don’t sleep in the district, or who are in an illegal rental or dwelling, should be immediately suspended pending an investigation. Town authorities should be notified of every impropriety and every case followed through the court system. Do this, and if more space is still needed, taxpayers should go the extra yard and accommodate the district by voting for the necessary funding.

Secret Money Dear Rick, Remember Bush vs. Gore? They’ve done it again by Citizens vs. United allowing undisclosed tainted money from the fat cats to buy elections under the guise of free speech. Their secret money lets them run scurrilous attack ads with impunity. Tim Bishop was ahead until the last week when Zeldin flooded the airwaves with a torrent of money. The court’s raping of the Voter Rights Act allowed Republican governors to pass restrictions that were clearly aimed to poor and minority voters. The number of voters impacted by the new restrictions exceeded

the margin of victory in close races for senate and governor in North Carolina, Kansas, Virginia and Florida, according to the non–partisan Brennan Center for Justice. The Supreme Court has a vital role to uphold the laws that protect the less affluent in our society. Its rulings for big money and voter suppression have clearly violated this duty. ED JABLONSKY Editor’s Note: Bishop spent a small fortune on his “I am not a crook” ads. We’d wager when the final numbers are tallied he outspent Zeldin. Why isn’t the money he took in “tainted?” Because he’s a Democrat? Last we looked the Voter Rights Act was aimed Continued on Page 16.

Poppycock Dear Editor, I thought I was good at geography. Prior to reading Nicholas Zizelis’ latest attempt to coherently espouse his political belief, I would have sworn to any and all that Marina del Rey (to which Mr. Zizelis has ensconced and about which he is all too eager to repeatedly let us know) was a city in CA. My mistake. MdR is actually on the planet Mars. (Further investigation of the phenomenon, known by its acronym of IDOPLUSCAOAP (Interstellar Displacement of Politically Liberal United States Cities Onto Another Planet), reveals conclusively that MdR has been joined by Cambridge MA, Manhattan and Berkeley CA -- all of which and more liberal bastions have just been (on Nov. 5th) relocated to a place where they find it congenial to declare such things as “up is down” and “right is wrong.” Mars is a place where the Earthly laws of gravity can be negotiated to the extent necessary for one to make sense of Mr. Z’s blather, so he perceives these different circumstances in such a way as to justify his continued ranting to us here on Earth. Mr. Z, extolling the personal (but NOT professional) virtues of our ice cold President, says of him that he has returned our country to a “prosperous condition?” Whaaaa?? (Ooops, I forgot about Mars). The sweaty desperation someone from his political ilk must feel right now (enabling him to purvey this poppycock with a more or less straight face) is at the same time gratifying to see and difficult to stomach. To say that we are doing just fine economically because of (actually, any progress we may have made is in spite of) Obama, is so disconnected from the Zeitgeist that I am afraid he has committed the dreaded LADDR (Liberal Argumentation Doing a Double Reverse). He’s now saying what the one percenters would say if they were allowed to speak! His further rants about the Koch brothers, the perilous state of women and minorities (lessee, Obama has been President for the last SIX years) and other lib dog-whistle doggerel, are all designed to whip up frenzy, but resonate about as well as a tree does when it falls in the woods without a human in sight. There’s no one there, Mr. Z! I am composing this letter the day after Election Day. You and your dogmatic twaddle just lost big time! NICK SARIDAKIS

Tofurky? Dear Editor, As we approach Thanksgiving, there has been a lot of talk about “humanely raised” turkeys, and companies such as Butterball have placed “Certified Humane” labels on their packaging. But consumers should not be fooled. As a recent PETA investigation revealed, Butterball turkeys can still be labeled “humanely raised” even if the birds were kept indoors at all times in cramped conditions breathing in high levels of ammonia and had their toes amputated and the ends of their beaks cut off without pain relief. Deliberate abuse of the turkeys, such as kicking or throwing them, did not automatically disqualify the supplier from receiving the certification.     The only humane Thanksgiving is one that doesn’t include turkey. But here’s something to truly be thankful for: There

are a plethora of healthy, tasty meat-free options. Tofurky, for instance, makes a scrumptious soy-and wheat-based roast that is already stuffed and ready to be put into a roaster surrounded by your favorite vegetables. Even the gravy is included. This Thanksgiving, consider carving out a new tradition and giving turkeys something to be thankful for. You can find hundreds of free recipes at www.PETA.org. MICHELLE KRETZER

Hampton Town Board for adopting a resolution authorizing the creation of a Road Improvement Zone in order to undertake the necessary roadwork to bring substandard roads within two old filed maps up to Town Highway Specifications so that the roads can be accepted into the Town Highway System. After approximately five years of numerous information meetings and public hearings, the Town Board held a public referendum for a Road Improvement Zone. The referendum passed and now, thankfully, the town can move forward with constructing our roads. Old filed maps were created long before the implementation of zoning and subdivision regulations. Actual construction of the subdivision roads was not required. The Town of East Hampton, with the help of enabling legislation passed by New York State, developed an Urban Renewal Process whereby each lot owner would have to pay road improvement units at the time of filing for a building permit. The idea being that each landowner would pay for a portion of the cost to construct the road and that by the time a building permit was filed on the last unimproved lot, the roads would be constructed to Town Highway Specifications and accepted into the Town Highway System. In theory, the Urban Renewal Process would work, provided that homes were built on all of the lots. In reality, the process does not work quite that well. We built our home and paid our road improvement units 29 years ago and have patiently waited for the roads to be completed and then taken over and maintained by the town. During the 29 years, most roads in these subdivisions were cleared and graded, most of the drainage structures installed and in most cases, at least a base course of asphalt has been put down. There is still more work to be done, but too few undeveloped lots left in the Urban Renewal Process to finish the job. As a result, we are left with potholes and crumbling roads. Without crews to trim them, trees and bushes extend so far into the roadway that two-way travel is difficult. In places tree limbs hang so low that passage of emergency vehicles may be impeded. School busses will not travel on these “private” roads. This is not, as the ad states, a “couple of our connected neighbors want this to happen.” This is a health and safety issue.

The only way for the work to be completed is for the town to step in and undertake the work. That is the purpose of the Road Improvement Zone. Yes. Homeowners will be required to pay an additional $4,328. This amount will be paid over 15 years. Therefore, our taxes will increase $288.53 a year. Like a loan, once the 15 years have passed, our taxes will be reduced by $288.53. For lots that are improved or vacant parcels that have contributed road improvement units this increase is less than 80 cents a day! Vacant full Urban Renewal Building Lots with no prior contribution will have to pay a total of $25,986.02 or $1,731.20 per year for the next 15. At present, if building permits were applied for on these lots, each would be subject to road improvement units as much as $15,300, plus Town Engineer inspection fees. Those costs would be due at the time of filing for a building permit. The Road Improvement Zone passed by the town board will essentially allow these road improvement units to be paid over 15 years. Thereby softening the impact to the homeowners. Again, after 15 years have passed, their property taxes would be decreased by $1,731.20. The ad also tries to scare people by stating that this will result in “50 foot wide roads, double what they are now.” This is simply not true. While the roads will have 50 wide right-of-ways, the traveled or paved portions of the roads will be no wider than they are now, about 24 feet. Should the town move forward with this, all of us would see increased property values due to having Town maintained roads instead of private roads with no mechanism in place, like a homeowners association, to deal with maintenance. The ad states, “All of us pay full highway taxes.” While we all benefit from maintained roads throughout the town, the only way for us to realize any benefits within our immediate subdivisions would be through the approved Road Improvement Zone and have the roads accepted into the Town Roadway system. With winter fast approaching, it’s nice to note that we would all benefit by having the town take care of snow removal once the project is completed. The bottom line is that without this Road Improvement Zone, the roads that we have at this time are the best that they will ever be. If nothing is done, they will continue to deteriorate, eventually making the cost to bring them up to Town specifications prohibitive. Fighting the implementation of the Road Improvement Zone through a frivolous lawsuit will simply result in delays, added expenses and no Town maintained roads. It benefits no one. The time to move forward

with this is now. JOE & MARIE LOMBARDI Editor’s Note: Jerry has never written a letter to the editor. Here are the facts: There were two sparsely attended meetings. Virtually no one from the affected community voted. Our concern is there are 50 or so neighborhoods that were created from old filed maps. Why is this the only one slated for an upgrade? BTW we have yet to get an answer to this question: who is going to do the paving?

Why Oh Why? Dear Editor, Why is the East Hampton Town Board pushing the Rental Registry? I attended a work session meeting of the East Hampton Town Board concerning the Rental Registry in October. I was shocked to learn that the current Board presumably doesn’t care that the registry will hurt the legitimate homeowner who needs the rental income to cover living expenses. They must know that they already have the power to control illegal housing in place. The troubling question is then WHY are they pushing the legislation of this invasion of privacy? Their response was that the proposal of the Rental Registry by Michael Sendlenski, the assistant town attorney, is an additional effort to stop those who are abusing the laws in place. I don’t get it. Everyone living in an area where a home is being occupied as a share house with overcrowding conditions is aware of the situation. I had the misfortune to live very close to one this past summer. The entire neighborhood knew about it, the police knew about it, and the code enforcers knew about it. If they enact the Rental Registry it will not change a thing. The result will simply be the invasion of privacy of many law abiding East Hampton Town residents and share houses will continue. There are laws in the current code that prohibit more than two less than 15 day rentals within a six month period; laws that limit the number of people allowed in a bedroom or house; laws that permit

November 19, 2014

4 cars only at non owner occupied homes, laws that restrict noise levels and laws that deal with trash removal. Why then would they require all rental properties to be “registered” with the town; be assigned a permit number from the building department (and used in all ads); have a current certificate of occupancy; a signed affidavit or inspection proving the property is up to current Town building code; that refuse collection is scheduled and also requires a receipt for payments made in cash be submitted? Why go through this Sisyphean task when they, the police, and the code enforcers will clearly be informed by the suffering neighborhood when the condition is present. Why, I ask, aren’t they using the laws that are already in place? According to Michael Sendlenski, assistant town attorney, this proposal will help prevent overcrowding in homes and multiple rentals. If they put the Rental Registry in effect it will financially and economically hurt their town – yes, the Town of East Hampton will suffer dramatically as it will frighten law abiding citizens into NOT renting their homes. The fact is that the Town doesn’t even have the manpower to handle this suggested non-effective legislation. The Town should enforce the laws that are already on the books, not create more laws. If the laws need amending, do so. But certainly do not invade the privacy of the residents of East Hampton Town. Rentals are a tradition in East Hampton for decades; they are important for our economy and they are a critical revenue source for many homeowners. Please hear all the voices of the residents and listen. The question remains: Why are you doing this? SANDY SALVAGGIO

daughter. Blass said the tenants were being evicted for unrelated reasons, but one, Nick Saridakis, said a concerted effort to evict working residents was underway for months previous, because DSS paid far more rent per room than the landlord was charging. Southampton Town Attorney Tiffany Scarlato warned DSS that it was in violation of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zoning ordinances but Blass balked, stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not required to comply with local zoning.â&#x20AC;? Blass eventually resigned when Throne-Holst succeeded in forging an agreement with the County Executive Steve Bellone to close the shelter.

at the forefront of the effort. She said the public was very supportive, but more recently it’s been harder to get donations. Community members feel that since the program has been proven to work, the government should fund it, she said. East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell was in attendance. He said the program merits a careful look.

when they believe they can conquer Israel. Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda ISIS and other Islamic terrorist organizations will continue to promote attacks against Israel. All of the Arab/Persian countries in the Middle East either overtly or covertly support conflict with Israel or at the very least, condone or tacitly approve military confrontation with Israel.

It is all about religion in the Middle East, and the Muslims hate the Jews of Israel. Furthermore, they are jealous of the successes of Israel, and the Arabs are woefully inept in all disciplines. Israel is a democratic country with a highly developed society, while the Arab countries, many of whom are dictatorships and theocracies, exemplify underachieving societies. Israel must have top notch intelligence services and a strong military, be alert to potential Arab attacks, and not allow development of a Palestinian territory which can threaten Israel.

Visionary? Dear Rick, There he goes again! Wilkinson claims

Happy Holidays

IN THE NEWS

that his “personnel resume” implies a strong financial and visionary persona . . . and as usual, he erroneously says that no one on the current East Hampton Town Board has either. In reality the current Supervisor Larry Cantwell has 29 years experience as the E.H. Village Manager. Remember when Mr. Wilkinson used to berate Dominick Stanzione all the time about his airport activities. He suddenly has concern for the airport . . . wonder why? According to published reports Wilkinson is a paid advisor to the Friends of the East Hampton Airport Coalition. And while he admits to this relationship he says that his letters supporting FAA grants have nothing to do with his being paid! Let face it, the East Hampton Airport is the ultimate “exclusive club” . . . mostly male, mostly older, and mostly very rich. The East End community showed up in the hundreds this past August at LTV to let the East Hampton Town Board know that we cannot tolerate the noise and pollution from the airport. People came from Shelter Island, The North Fork, Southampton, Noyac, East Hampton Village and all of East Hampton to express their demands for restrictions and limitations. The Town and Village Board leaders in attendance were in agreement. Hopefully we can return to the beauty of our quiet and peaceful beach community for thousands of residents and visitors next year. LENI SALZ Editor’s Note: Wilkinson sent the same missive to all the media outlets and clearly noted up top that he was a paid consultant but writing as the former town supervisor and not in that capacity.

Time To Crank It Up

By Kitty Merrill

This year the East Hampton Food Pantry will hold its fourth annual Harvesting For Hunger Food Drive with an added spin. The pantry’s partnering with the nationwide Cranksgiving movement and Saunders & Associates to craft an event that will be covered by NBC’s “Today Show.” On Saturday, participants will pedal a six-mile bike route through town, stopping at local grocery stores to buy food for the food drive. Registration begins at 10 AM at the middle school on Newtown Lane. Riders will be given a route map, a list of items to buy, and an envelope for receipts. The ride starts at 11 AM. Riders should bring a bike and helmet, $20 (or more) to buy the food, a backpack to carry their purchases and a bike lock. Non-cyclists are invited to stop by the middle school with donations of non perishable food, and frozen items for the new Fill the Freezer program designed to help the needy put together holiday meals (Think turkey, chicken, meat, and frozen desserts.), plus money, or

The food pantries from Amagansett, Springs and Wainscott are joining in as are the East Hampton Rotary, EHHS Interact Club and local Girl Scouts. Cranksgiving is described as a bike ride, scavenger hunt and food drive all rolled into one. It started in New York City in 1999 and there are now dozens of Cranksgivings all over the country.

Tantalizingly Close: Boys Settle For Second

Independent / Jim Stewart

Esteban Valverde scores in the finale. By Henry Murphy

There are times when second best has to be good enough. When you’re the second best high school soccer team in the state, well, that’s pretty good. Consider the East Hampton Bonackers: They are the Suffolk County, Long Island, and Southeast Regional Class A 2014 champs. What might have been a state title was thwarted by Greece Athena Sunday, 4-2. Saturday morning the locals advanced to the final by besting Jamesville Dewitt 3-0. Two of those goals were scored by Bonac’s All-Everything, Nick West, in the first half. But a foot injury late in the stanza sent West to the bench. When Esteban Valverde scored to make it 3-0, the hope was West could rest up

for Sunday’s game. West got tangled up with an opponent. His foot stomped, he tried to play through it but signaled the sideline a minute later. “We shut him down and bandaged him up,” Coach Rich King said. The hope was the youngster would be able to make a go of it Sunday morning but King said, “He couldn’t put any pressure on it.” X-Rays confirmed the worst. “He’s got a broken bone in his foot,” reported the dejected coach. “He’s going to be casted and the doctors hope it will heal up on its own.” Greece Athena, had “big, athletic boys,” King said, but his charges hung tough. Bonac fell behind early but Valverde returned the fire five minutes later. The Trojans scored off a free kick and that half ended with Bonac behind, 2-1. Greece scored again at the 23-minute mark to take a 3-1 lead, and with that score King said Bonac was forced to alter its strategy. “We gambled. We put an extra offensive player and weakened our ‘D’.” The strategy worked. Nick Pillco found the net off a rebound with 13 minutes left to cut the margin to one goal. But with time running out, East Hampton was forced to keep an extra man forward and Athena scored again. “My kids didn’t quit. We kept coming but that was the nail in the coffin.” West is off to play soccer at Messiah College. In all the team loses 14 seniors. “There are big shoes to fill,” King said. “But the kids coming

named Town Historian. In that capacity, he edited five volumes on the history of East Hampton, all of which were published through private donations. A sixth volume is to be published soon. Tom was a leading supporter of many East Hampton charitable and public institutions. He served numerous terms as the President of the East Hampton Library. In 1997, as Chair of the Library’s Capital Campaign Committee, he helped raise $3.6 million to renovate and restore the library. More recently, Tom chaired the library’s capital campaign to construct a children’s wing at the library, which was successfully completed in 2014. “Mr. Twomey was an extraordinary leader who was dedicated to making this one of the greatest small libraries in America,” library director Dennis Fabiszak said on behalf of the library board and staff Monday morning. “Tom, as he was widely known, possessed the most well rounded attributes of vision, foresight and practical ability . . . We do not see the likes of such an extraordinary man often and we luxuriate in the benefits of him to the community and the library,” Fabiszak concluded.

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

Twomey and his firm believed passionately in volunteerism, Senator LaValle said. “I think, looking back, it’s terrific he got to see the completion of the children’s wing.” Tom served on the executive committee of the Guild Hall Cultural Center and was actively involved in raising funds each year for Guild Hall’s annual operating budget. “The word trustee, meaning a guardian of an institution, is best exemplified by someone who not only understands the history of the organization but also how to be an agent of change. Tom Twomey was both,” said Appelhof. “As a passionate supporter of the East Hampton tradition, he also knew when to push for transformation. At Guild Hall, he helped carry the banner for our comprehensive renovation, bringing up to date our entire facility.” Tom had many avocations, including owning and piloting his own plane for more than 40 years. When speed wasn’t an issue, he could be seen driving to the hardware store in his perfectly restored 1928 Flint Depot Hack. Upon learning that he was a distant relative of a reputed pirate from Eastern Long Island, Tom spent his Sunday afternoons writing, in collaboration with Tom Clavin, a full-length screenplay

about the pirate, Captain Kidd, which has garnered two prestigious screenwriting awards and is being circulated for production. Tom is survived by his wife of 34 years, Judith Hope, who served three terms as East Hampton Supervisor from 1974 to 1975 and again from 1984 to 1987; by his stepchildren Nisse and Erling Hope; three grandchildren, Soren Hope, Isaiah Aqui and Henry Luka Hope; and by his sisters, Mary Claire Vrtodusic of Oakdale, New York and Florence Cope of East Marion, New York. “Tom Twomey made a great impact on a lot of individuals and

a lot of institutions. I know he will be very much missed,” the senator concluded. Added Appelhof, “He will always be remembered as a man of great and lasting deeds. We will miss him, terribly.” Ser vices will take place on Saturday at 1 PM at St Luke’s Episcopal Church on 18 James Lane in East Hampton. A reception will follow at East Hampton Point in Springs. Visitation will take place on Friday at Yardley & Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton from 2 to 4 and from 7 to 9 PM. Donations can be sent in Tom’s name to the East Hampton Public Library, 159 Main Street, East Hampton, New York.

Mattituck Fulfills Destiny, Wins Title It was as if they dreamed it to be so before it happened. Several Mattituck players said before the trip upstate that they sensed they would come home with the New York State Class B Boys Soccer trophy — and so they did. Mattituck had made the trip just one year earlier and came up one game short, and the resolve of every player was to not let that happen again. To do so, the Tuckers had to win a semifinal matchup against Skaneateles Saturday morning. No problem. The Tuckers dispatched the Lakers with ruthless efficiency, taking a 5-0 first half lead and coasting to a 6-0 shutout. Senior Mario Arreola led the charge with two goals and an assist. Skaneateles finished with a 17-3 mark. That set up Sunday morning’s final against Beekmantown (18-2), which had edged Livonia 1-0 in the other semifinal. It was Livonia that denied the Tuckers the 2013 title. As it turned out the coach, Mat Litchult, had a caged tiger waiting to pounce. The Tuckers jumped out of the gate, and began relentlessly attacking. Kevin Ilgin finally found the net on a breakaway with just under six minutes left in the opening stanza. Kevin Williams scored to make it 2-0 in the second half, and Ilgin finished off the Eagles with a free kick just under the six minute mark. Meanwhile the Tuckers defense led by brothers Paul and James Hayes kept the Eagles bottled up on their own half of the field. It was the third state title for Mattituck but the first in 11 years. The team finished with a 9-2. R.M.
