A lot of years ago (in 1987), Ed Kosner – the great Editor and Publisher of New York Magazine – asked me to write a piece for a special issue called “You Must Remember This.” I was honored and terrified. I had been writing all my life, but this was New York Magazine, which every week was filled with articles by the best writers in the country. This was writing in the same issue as Pete Hamill, Julie Baumgold, Gay Talese, Neil Simon, Nick Pileggi. I had an advanced case of flop sweat. If God had spent as much time writing the Ten Commandments as I spent writing my piece, this would have been a much better world. I wrote about electing Miss Rheingold, which was a silly election about beer. Unlike our last election, the only thing you might end up with by voting in the Miss Rheingold election was a lousy glass of beer. Twenty-nine years later Miss Rheingold is back in a new documentary, “Beauty and the Beer,” produced by Anne Newman Bacal. You can see it at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Friday, December 2, at noon, or at the Fashion Institute of Technology at 5 PM on Friday, December 9.

with us for the rest of our lives. We learned our lessons well from the Miss Rheingold election. We learned to embrace superficiality. We learned to vote for looks over brains. We learned to vote early and often – a philosophy that could have gotten Chicago’s late Mayor Richard Daley elected Miss Rheingold had he ever chosen to compete. Don’t doubt for a second the power and the impact of the Miss Rheingold election. In 1948, 2,510,706 votes were cast in New York City in the Truman-Dewey presidential election; over 3 million votes were cast to elect Miss Rheingold that same year. Truman and Dewey (combined) spent about $400,000 on paid advertising in the New York area; they were outspent 10 to 1 by Rheingold, which put close to $4 million behind the election of Miss Rheingold. The heaviest voting took place in the city’s bars – and they were real bars in those days. They were dark and smelled of stale beer. The only light came from the neon signs, the neon-lit jukebox, and the 10-inch Philco television set that always seemed to show Jackie Robinson sliding safely into second base. The Miss Rheingold ballots were mounted on a big cardboard card that showed the smiling faces of the six hopefuls. It was perched precariously on the top of the jukebox that continuously played Jo Stafford singing “See the pyramids along the Nile” to men who hardly ever saw the outside of the bar. Late at night, the men had loud debates about the eyes, the hair, the smile, and the pug nose of each of the

contestants. Then they voted. For those of us too young to be allowed in the bars, there was always the corner grocery store. In Salento’s Grocery Store (on the corner of 86th Street and West 7th Street in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn), the Miss Rheingold ballots occupied a place of honor next to the Sister Kenny Polio/March of Dimes canisters. They were set somewhere between the Yankee Doodles, Devil Dogs, and the Mrs. Wagner’s lemon pies. And when Mr. Salento turned his back to make a 25-cent bologna sandwich, an 11-year-old could reach up, grab a fistful of ballots, and vote for the woman of his preadolescent dreams. “Vote with your loins, not with your head,” might have been the Rheingold motto, because Miss Rheingold, with her starched white blouse and her Peter Pan collar, was the precursor of the Grace Kelly “just above the waist” era that was about to descend on us. She was the pretty, untouchable girl who stirred up vague sexual yearnings that some of us could exorcise only in church. I can remember as an 11-yearold kneeling in a dark confessional booth at Our Lady of Grace Church, whispering to Father Cafero, who sat on the other side of the heavy net screen: “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I have had impure thoughts about a Miss Rheingold girl.” “Which one, my son?” “All of them, Father, all of them.” If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

The storefronts. The streetscape. Architectural details, sidewalks, and landscaping. Future usage and zoning designations. This week Southampton Town officials and consultants are asking residents of the bustling hamlet to describe what they think shapes the heart of Hampton Bays. An online survey compiled by the town’s consulting firm, Historic Concepts, quizzes respondents about details they’d like to see in the area spanning from Springville Road to Ponquogue Avenue in downtown Hampton Bays. Found on the town’s website, the survey includes photographic examples survey takers can rate. According to Deputy Supervisor Frank Zappone, the consulting firm sent a crew out to a number of towns and villages along the north and south shores of Long Island to photograph typical waterfront communities – some of the shots may look familiar to East Enders, while others have a New England vibe. Supervisor Jay Schneiderman referenced the New England vibe in April when he toured the hamlet with The Independent. Back then Good Ground Park was still in the hardhat stages. It opened several weeks ago. For Schneiderman, the park could serve as a focal point of the village, thanks to its natural amphitheater. Last spring, the supervisor spoke of a vision that included shops, apartments, outdoor cafes, and even a performing arts center, bringing further enhancement to the downtown area. Schneiderman pointed to Downtown Nantucket, where sidewalk cafes and shops extend the shoulder season. The survey is part of a community outreach that included a “charrette” earlier this month helmed by the town planning department and the Historic Concepts firm. Several dozen community members offered input about the type of architecture they’d prefer in a hamlet redevelopment. From those preferences, the survey was developed. Answers to thirteen questions are all it takes to provide feedback. Respondents are asked to weigh in on features like the form and scale of Main Street buildings. Should they be architecturally modern, traditional, or a mixture of both? Which storefronts, streetscapes, and landscape plans are most appealing? Respondents are also asked to explain why they like the photos they select. Survey takers will opine about the type of downtown they’d like to see.
Is their vision of downtown vibrant, with shops and restaurants and high pedestrian activity, or do they prefer a quiet village center with low activity? The final query in the survey d i re cts re spo ndents to no te other downtown areas that have characteristics they’d like to see replicated in Hampton Bays. Speaking to The Independent Monday, Schneiderman noted that each downtown area across Southampton Town has to have its own identity. Downtown Sag

To Restore Red Creek Schoolhouse The historic village of Red Creek was a profitable shipbuilding industry town near the border of Hampton Bays and Flanders. All that exists today of this village is one schoolhouse, thanks to the railroad service causing business declines and closures as early as 1869. The Gardiner Foundation awarded a grant to the Southampton
Historical Museum to restore the Red Creek Schoolhouse. It has already been relocated to the grounds of the Rogers Mansion Museum Complex in Southampton. The schoolhouse was made to seat forty schoolchildren and now teaches the schoolchildren of today about the education and work activities of Long Island children 200 years ago. The complex is open March through December, Wednesdays through Saturdays from 11 AM to 4 PM, visit their site southamptonhistoricalmuseum.org for additional details. Katherine Curran, executive director of the Gardiner Foundation, gave the check to Tom Edmonds, executive director of the Southampton Historical Museum. Witnesses included Bob Beck, president of the Southampton Historical Museum and Stephen Funsch, village administrator for the Village of Southampton. A.M.

The Hidden Carcinogen By Adrienne Esposito
Water protection is a hot topic on Long Island and it is imperative that we remain vigilant in protecting our island’s sole source aquifer. Which is why we at Citizens Campaign for the Environment became quite alarmed when the Environmental Protection Agency revealed that, out of 4400 water supplies tested throughout our nation, Long Island has the highest concentrations of an emerging contaminate called 1,4-dioxane. This toxic chemical was classified as a probable human carcinogen by the EPA in 2003 and exposures have been linked to tumors of the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, lung, skin, and breast. Unfortunately, new research shows it is prevalent throughout Nassau and Suffolk County water supplies. 1, 4 - D i o x a n e i s a h i d d e n carcinogen lurking in everyday products. It is in 46 percent of personal care products, including laundry detergent, baby wipes, and shampoo, but it cannot be found listed as an ingredient. When cleaning products and detergents are processed using ethoxylation, a cheap technique that lessens the severity of the harsher ingredients, 1,4-dioxane is created as a byproduct. C u r r e n t l y, t h e r e a r e n o regulations requiring 1,4 dioxane to be listed as an ingredient, nor are there any federal standards governing the amount allowed in a detergent or any other personal care product. As a result, consumers are largely unaware of 1,4-dioxane’s presence in numerous household products. One pathway for this toxic chemical to contaminate our drinking water is through the laundry detergents we use. In 2010, Procter and Gamble came under tremendous scrutiny because its products contained the highest amounts of 1,4-dioxane of all detergents tested. Topping the charts was Tide with 55 parts per million followed by Tide Free at 29 ppm. Other P&G products include
WEBER & GRAHN Heating & Air Conditioning
Prompt ♦ Quality ♦ Service “We Install the Best & Fix the Rest”
(631)
Ivory Snow Gentle at 31 ppm, Gain 2X Ultra at 21 ppm, and Cheer BrightClean Detergent at 20 ppm. Since then, P&G has voluntarily agreed to reduce the level of 1,4-dioxane in their detergents. Improving the manufacturing process and using higher quality ingredients can remove 1,4-dioxane as a byproduct, but we are awaiting follow up data to assess the success of P&G’s removal efforts. Reducing the amount of 1,4-dioxane in products like detergents is critical, because our sewage treatment plants, septic systems, and normal volatile organic treatment technologies cannot

currently remove this contaminant. This means when we use detergents and other personal care products containing this chemical, we are not only exposing ourselves directly to the contaminant but are also contributing to the pollution of our groundwater. There are 3 steps we must take to reduce 1,4-dioxane and protect our water resources, First, we need New York State to set a health-based standard for drinking water. The EPA has issued a Cancer Risk Guideline of 0.35µg/L for 1,4-dioxane in drinking water – a research-based guideline. Levels in Long Island drinking water have most recently been detected as high as 12µg/L in Nassau County and at nearly 6µg/L in Suffolk County. According to the 2015 Suffolk County Comprehensive Water Management Plan, 40 percent of

SC Water Authority wells have trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane. Setting a health-based drinking water standard is necessary to protect public health and ensure this toxin is removed from our drinking water. Second, consumers need to be educated on which products are safe. Bluntly speaking, this is not easy. Some key phrases on ingredient labels for you to look for and avoid are sodium laureth sulfate and potassium laureth phosphate. Avoid ingredients such as PEG and polyethylene. Check your shampoos, lotions, and even baby products for these ingredients. There are many 1,4-dioxane-free products, but the only way to find out is by reading the label and avoiding these ingredients, since some “green” or “eco-friendly” products contain

In The Candlelight
By Alyssa Moudis
The Rogers Mansion was decorated with antique decorations on trees placed throughout the Southampton Greek Revival Mansion, leaving visitors with “eyes all aglow” after candlelight tours of the famed abode last weekend. Throughout the year the Southampton Historical Museum hosts tours of Rogers Mansion designed to keep the history of the town and of Long Island in its entirety alive. Southampton is the oldest settlement on the island and during the Revolutionary War it was already over 100 years old and quite profitable. Sag Harbor was New York’s most booming port. Though as you will learn while taken through different eras of American history throughout the tour, Long Island citizens were soon taken as prisoners of war for eight years with very few escapees. Look on youtube.com for the video created by Rogers Mansion staff that plays on a loop with headphones available, describing the Revolutionary War and the experiences of Long Islanders as prisoners of war.
For example, the Brits forged signatures on numerous documents claiming Long Islanders to be unpatriotic. Though the documents were clearly fakes (80 people cannot have the same handwriting for their signatures) the people of Long Island were still forced to pay thousands of dollars in tax money as way of punishment. Notice Long Island taxes are still up there. Are we not being told something? A number of wealthy and important families have lived on the Rogers Mansion property and made their own changes to the house. One of the homeowners, Samuel Parrish, once mayor of Southampton and the creator of the Parrish Art Museum, is known for the most notable and quirky changes to the home. When Parrish wanted something done he made sure it happened. This included an unusual architectural decisions in his home. Back in October you may have noticed an odd group of Victorian dressed people all in black and s i n g i n g “A m a z i n g G r a c e” i n Southampton Village. More notably, they were carrying a very old looking coffin. The Victorian funeral

was just one of many special events held throughout the year by the Rogers Mansion staff. It was decided the funeral would be in honor of Cordelia Rogers, the last Rogers to live in the home. While in the mansion be sure to say her name correctly, it’s said there’s a ghost in the home and it is thought to be that of Cordelia Rogers. However, according to the staff, who have all been alone at late hours in the mansion, if it is truly Cordelia there, she is a nice lady/ghost. Ask about her when you visit. The October replica funeral shows just how enthusiastic the staff is at the mansion. They all know their facts, especially historic site manager Connor Flanagan who led each of the tours this past weekend. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions when you visit, the staff will know the answer. O n e s t a f f m e m b e r, M a r y
Cummings, is also a local archivist who can help trace family genealogies and property histories on the East End with the museum’s research library. Enjoy any holiday at the Rogers Mansion with tours, treats (like apple cider and warm homemade cookies during November and December), and great deals at their gift shop. If especially interested in the shopping, keep an eye out this spring for their special antique show. Also, if you miss anything during the tour, visit their website or any of their social media platforms to see photos and information. They also have photographs of some of the many small and intricate objects that can sometimes be overlooked during your visit. Take your time through the home and absorb as much of the history around as you can while enjoying the holiday cheer, decorations, and welcoming warmth.

New School Bus Depot Roils Neighbors By Rick Murphy
There’s enough traffic on Cedar Street already, thank you. That’s what a number of neighborhood residents told the East Hampton School Board on November 16. Now they are ramping up their effort to stop a proposed relocation of the East Hampton School District bus depot. The matter of school busing has been a ticking time bomb in East Hampton for a decade. Back in 2006 the school superintendent, Ray Gualtieri, parlayed a relatively minor disagreement with the district’s long time transportation provider, Schaefer and Sons, into a school-owned in-house busing operation. The superintendent told the public the Schaefer family was shutting its operation. But the Schaefers told a different tale in
an exclusive interview with The Independent in 2006. Len and Russell Schaefer said the district had hired away two of their company’s best drivers. “We find ourselves competing for drivers with the district we are employed with. Little ironic, isn’t it?” the Schaefers wrote in a memo to the school district. Gualtieri denied raiding the company drivers, though he acknowledged he hired two of the drivers after they filled out applications: the district used them on private school runs, which Schaefer did not contract for. Len Schaefer told The Independent, “They knew I was having trouble finding drivers. They knew those people worked for me.” Once Schaefer called the district’s bluff and decided to shut the operation, Gualtieri was left scurrying to find a replacement. He opted to form a district owned

company after receiving bids from other busing operations he termed “exorbitant.” The school acquired a fleet of buses – now numbering 35 – and leased the constricted space the Schaefers used for parking and a garage on Route 114. Gualtieri, often criticized as an empire builder, had his eye on a bigger prize — the Verizon property on King Street, which the superintendent wanted to buy and use to house the busing operation. In 2010, however, voters soundly rejected the idea, and Gualtieri eventually left town. But he left the long-term problem with the busing operation behind: where to move the fleet when the lease with Schafer expired.

school district negotiated a fiveyear extension of its lease it didn’t come cheaply: the district will pay $200,000 in the first year, with annual increases of three percent. That’s double the current rent. Enter the Cedar Street property: it’s on the northeast side of the high school campus and houses a maintenance building. But it is smack dab in a residential area that is already reeling from an increase in traffic. Several years ago residents of the Miller Lane neighborhood which empties onto Cedar Street pitched the town on the idea of making their neighborhood private: they said it is overcome with traffic seeking to exit Cedar Street and reroute to Oakview Highway. The group presented anecdotal evidence of long lines of traffic backed up from the light at the corner of North Continued on Page 16.

Tuckahoe School Wants Golf Courses To Pay More By Rick Murphy
Tuckahoe School District, mired in a financial crunch that is spiraling downward, is literally fighting for its life. But within the district, some of Southampton Town’s – and the country’s – most prominent and wealthiest citizens frolic on four of the best golf courses on the eastern seaboard. The trouble, at least from the standpoint of Tuckahoe School officials, is that the four golf courses are all within the school district boundaries, and the entities that own them do not pay an equitable

The Tuckahoe School District is questioning the amount of property taxes local golf clubs pay.
share of the taxes. Not so, say Southampton Town officials. The tax code is clearly defined and a recent court case, Hempstead Golf Club v Board
of Assessors, provides ample precedent. In 2014 the school district asked the town to provide the financial data it uses to calculate the annual

property taxes but the town has been fighting the Freedom of Information Law request in court. The four courses, National Golf Links of America, Shinnecock Golf Club, and Southampton and Sebonack Golf are valued at between $16 million and $25 million for tax purposes, with Shinnecock and Sebonac on the high end. Sebonac, for example, paid $254,900 in taxes during the last reported tax period. The district filed an Article 78 in June, 2014 after the FOIL request was denied. First, the Suffolk County Supreme Court ordered the town to turn over the documents; the town tried various legal maneuverings to delay compliance. On April 4, 2016 the Honorable Paul J. Baisely directed the town “to make available . . . the income and expense statements of the four golf courses for the years 2006-2012� as well as, �portions of appraisal reports that constitute statistical or factual tabulations or data.� Harold Steudte, who as a Tuckahoe School board member when the suit was filed but has since left, said the school has suffered because of the tax iniquities for years. “We met with the former town supervisor, Anna Throne Holst and she told us she would help us, but she never did anything,� Steudte said. Tuckahoe is the only school district on Long Island that has been on austerity for two years, he noted, and the changing demographics of the district – the school is now 70 percent Latino – requires additional staffing and expenses. The current school board still hasn’t received the financial data, and the sense of urgency that existed when Steudte was on the board seems to have eased. “They [the town] haven’t spoken to the school board. They haven’t shown us how it is calculated,� Steudte said. Tuckahoe School superintendent Allan Gerstenlauer, asked to answer two questions via email, responded that he was on vacation this week and unavailable next week. Bob Grisnik, the board president, could not be reached for comment. Residents of the Southampton School district have twice voted down a proposal to merge with Tuckahoe, which would have eased the financial crunch considerably. A review of the clubs’ filings provide a glimpse into the finances. Shinnecock’s 2014 Form 990 shows Continued on Page 34.

RICK’S SPACE Sunday Papers Tell No Lies?
I’m a newspaper nut. Like many of my peers, I grew up in a household that cherished the news and couldn’t get enough of it. When I started at the East Hampton Star I quickly learned what “Times Style” was. Like so many weekly newspapers we aspired to be as good. The New York Times was the gold standard. When I worked there I was amazed at the operation: an awardwinning photographer would be dispatched to the East End for each of my stories. Editors pored over the copy. There was even a captions editor. Yes, I started noticing the bias a couple of decades ago, just as I noticed it at The Star. These were liberalleaning publications, and I understood that editorials and opinion pieces could reflect the views of the editor and publishers. But I also quickly learned how a reporter could shade a seemingly objective news article. One candidate “claimed that his incentives would lower taxes. The other candidate “pointed out that taxes would decrease under his plan.” The difference is subtle yet telling. Funny thing is, Hillary wasn’t always the candidate of choice. I remember in 2008, just a couple of weeks before the election, a head shot of Hillary, swollen to resemble a full moon with carnival colors and a goofy grin painted on her face adorned the front cover of the Times Magazine. The next issue featured a gorgeous head shot of Obama, impeccably groomed, his eyes gazing upward, the subtle lighting adding to the beatific aura. The intent was clear: he was the new Messiah. Nowadays, he’s the devil to those of us struggling to provide health insurance for our families. But The Times deftly switched gears: Hillary was in and a new devil came on the scene to ridicule and sneer at: The Donald. Of course, all of this is a prelude to the shocking news that The Times made a conscious decision to sabotage Donald Trump’s presidential campaign by coloring its coverage of the election. The only reason it became public (besides the fact that it was so obvious) is because the publisher, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., issued a public apology. Of course, the apology was fueled by the fact that Times subscribers, stung by the slanted coverage, were canceling their
subscriptions in droves. The New York Times dismissed Jill Abramson as executive editor in 2014 replacing her with Dean Baquet. It was said staffers didn’t like the intense, demanding Abramson, so maybe Baquet was more pliable. Baquet should have resigned when this disgraceful episode began. He is finished in this business. The ramifications defy belief. A handful of New York intellectuals in a Manhattan ivory tower made the conscious decision to manipulate the news to steer readers to one candidate over another. They didn’t want the public to decide the election. They didn’t trust the voters. But there is still the hard to break habit of curling up in front of a fire Sunday evening with The Times. But the pleasure is more imagined than real these days. It’s an act of nostalgia, hoping against hope that one day I’ll open it up and it will be jammed packed with insightful articles like the old days. Unfortunately, the Old Gray Lady is on life support now. I’m not sure laymen understand what happened here, but journalists
www.indyeastend.com
do. It’s akin to baseball players fixing a World Series. Two days after its mea culpa the Gray Lady was at it again. The frontpage story, “Firings and Discord Put Trump Transition Team in a State of Disarray,” reported that worried world leaders were reaching out to Trump and didn’t know how to reach him and that Trump’s team was “chaotic and confused.” Now think about it logically. Trump is now the most important and powerful person in the world. If he wants to talk to a world leader, he will. I’ll wager whoever was calling him who didn’t get through was calling to make sure American
November 30, 2016
foreign aid would still come their way. At any rate, Trump said he talked to two dozen world leaders but no reporter from the Times bothered to call him to get the facts. As for the transition team, which is still in its infancy, maybe by being thorough they will be able to avoid having people like Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emanuel, and Desirée Rogers in the White House. Do you think Donald Trump is rude and obnoxious? I see your point. I get you. But he’s our Donald now. A New Yorker in the White House? I can think of better – and worse. Did I mention Samantha Bee?

Add 35 buses, plus the bus drivers who will also drive their own cars to the proposed depot, and it makes matters a lot worse, said Paul D’Andrea, a member of the group. In addition, there will be the danger of ground water pollutants from the bus repair facility that will be constructed, and the noise inherent when diesel engines rev up. And oh yes, he said, the buses beep when they are in reverse. “They have their minds made up,” D’Andrea said of school board members. “They don’t want to

listen.” His group, The Cedar Street Committee, intends to force the district to engage in meaningful dialogue. It is demanding a fullblown traffic study. More to the point is the district’s rush to action. “They want to hold a vote in February, when there is no one here. They don’t even know how much it is going to cost,” D’Andrea said. East Hampton Town has a parcel suitable for a bus depot on Springs Fireplace Road, the site of the former scavenger waste plant. “It’s been completely remediated and is certified as buildable,” said East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell. The parcel is already zoned commercial-industrial. “They should look at it, it’s obvious,” said Cantwell, who cautioned, “It’s the school district’s decision to make.” Down the road there could be more heavy traffic lumbering

down Cedar Street: the Town has petitioned the MTA to raise the LIRR bridge on Stephen Hands Path, which would allow bigger trucks to use it: those headed for Springs would likely head down Cedar Street, D’Andrea pointed out. Cantwell said the MTA has “declined” to do so in the past. The town hasn’t commissioned a traffic study to gauge the impact of the school buses. The district intends to do one – but the timing is everything. “They want to do in in December; you do it in May and June,” he said, when traffic worsens

considerably. Rich Burns, the East Hampton School District Superintendent, said the district isn’t acting hastily — putting the bus depot on Cedar Street has been under discussion for almost two years. The rent increase tipped the scales, Burns said. “We could pay for a new facility for what we will pay in rent in the next 19 years,” he said.
Arrive At Dawn As for exiting on Long Lane, a new road would have to be built through the campus that would disturb the athletic fields and “Frankly, no one like the idea of going through the playing fields,” Burns said. Ellen Collins told the school board that putting a bus depot on the site constitutes a change in use. “A business such as a bus depot or service station belongs in an area zoned for industry and business.” One school board member noted that 10 of the buses use Cedar Street already; but D’Andrea and others noted they currently come from and return to the Route 114 site. Under the new plan bus drivers will arrive in their own cars to the depot around dawn, start and rev up the buses, leave via Cedar Street to begin their routes and come back after the morning runs. The same thing will occur in the afternoon, and when the drivers bring the buses back they will exit once again in their own vehicles. According to a missive circulated by the neighbors, the site will be used for a lot more than parking busses. A letter to the school board from the committee outlined some of the concerns. “There will be a gas pumping station; there will be tar, and lots of it . . . there will be a repair facility so they can entice other districts to bring their buses for repair.” The neighbors are also concerned their property values will decrease and that Cedar Street will eventually have to be widened. J.P. Foster, the board president, told the neighbors that their input was welcome. “In the beginning we offered to work with the board [members] but their minds are totally made up,” D’Andrea said. The matter will likely come up at the next board meeting on Tuesday.

Chabad Of The Hamptons
Young Adult Room Independent/Richard Lewin
On November 15, there was a double opportunity at the Chabad of the Hamptons on Woods Lane in East Hampton. The first was the opportunity to wish Rabbi Leibel Baumgarten a Happy Birthday along with his family and friends. The other was a chance to gain some insight into Jewish traditions, including the wearing of the Tefillin, the Talit, and the Tzitzit, and the special food items served by the Rabbi’s wife Goldie.

Joanne Wolff
Week of 11/30/16 12/7/16
you may hear some secrets. If money is tight, spend less on unnecessary items and all will be good.
Highlights of the week: With the Sun in the sign of Sagittarius, we may feel lighter and more optimistic about our futures as we still search for meaning and truth in life. However Saturn (the planet of ‘no-no’ and restriction) meets the Sagittarius sun, helping us to see what will or won’t work realistically. Neptune (planet of spirituality and deception) has moved forward in Pisces helping us to see the fog slowly disappear. We may be very surprised by revelations in our lives in the upcoming months. Jupiter (the planet of life’s goodies) in the sign of Libra (relationships) begins his argument with Pluto (the planet of extreme change). This dance will last well into 2017. All relationships are under the microscope and may shift in exciting ways. Let’s all take a step back before believing what we hear. Are good times ahead? Yes! But let’s not celebrate just yet.
VIRGO (8/23 - 9/22) The sky is NOT falling! Recent events will sort themselves out. It may be a good time to clear out those closets to rid yourself of outworn items along with outworn ideas.
ARIES (3/20 - 4/20) A whole new story about your life is beginning to start. Make your plans for the holidays but keep track of your New Year’s wishes. Patient planning is the key to success. TAURUS (4/20 - 5/20) Deep talks and conversations will clear the air, if you have the courage to do so. Love can deepen. Great time to clear up debts so you can start the new year fresh. GEMINI (5/21 - 6/22) Oh, those obligations! If you keep smiling and don’t overdo the caffeine, you will handle it all beautifully. Let others take the reins temporarily, it’s okay, but listen to your gut when presented with offers. CANCER (6/22 - 7/22) Feeling under the weather or just plain blue? It is time for more sleep, and a change in diet. Changes on the job may be in store whether delegating duties to others, or making plans to move on. LEO (7/22 - 8/22) Problem solving is your talent this week. Others will seek your wise advice and

LIBRA (9/22 - 10/22) Juggling is what you will be doing this week. It is time to balance work and play and your wishes with those of others. It’s okay to say what you want. Just don’t be bossy. SCORPIO (10/22 - 11/22) Where have you been hiding? This week brings some soul searching with regard to relationships and money. You might see where you can be less controlling but still state your mind. SAGITTARIUS (11/22 - 12/21) The sun shines on you this month although you may be less willing to share your thoughts. You will be rewarded for hard work. Don’t worry, there are birthday presents in your future. CAPRICORN (12/21 - 1/20) Recent events may have left you shaky, but using your common sense will see you through. Diet and exercise routines will keep you focused, enabling you to indulge later this month. AQUARIUS (1/20 - 2/19) Delays in your plans are not a defeat. It’s just time to redefine and revise. With the holidays near, accept those invitations for the fun to return. PISCES (2/19 - 3/20) It may be hard for you to see your way clearly just now. It is a good time to pursue a creative hobby or bake for the holidays to reduce stress. Keep the faith, whistle a happy tune and all will work out.

the room, “hog-tied” O’Connell, and “struck him numerous times with a blunt instrument,” according to police statements.
Charged with Murder A convict whose last known address was in Ridge murdered a man in a Hicksville Hotel sometime last week, Nassau County Police said. They arrested Vincent Dalton, 51, for the murder of Erik O’Connell, 37, on November 22. Newsday reported the victim graduated from East Hampton High School in 1997, according to his Facebook page. At the time of his death, he resided in East Meadow. O’Connell was last seen alive at a nearby bar, The Headliner, on the night of Friday, November 18. A cleaning woman at the Econo Lodge found his body in Room 118 at about 1 PM on November 19. Staff at the bar saw the pair walk off together that Friday night. Dalton, 51, has a long arrest record, including for armed robbery with a gun as well as another nine felonies. He was on parole from jail time served in connection with an attempted burglary conviction. Police believe O’Connell may have met Dalton in the bar. At some point in the night Dalton found his way to
Pedestrian Struck by Car, Dies Richard Styles of Eastport, 42, was driving on Sunrise Highway in Hampton Bays on November 20 at 2:22 AM when his vehicle broke down, according to State Police.

Detectives, working on information from the victim and others apprehended the pair the next day and recovered the stolen items. Both youths were charged with Burglar y in the Second Degree, a Class “C” Felony; Soto was remanded to Suffolk County in lieu of $31,100 bail. Flanagan posted $10,000 bail and was released.

Shooting in Riverhead A man was shot three times on East Main Street in Riverhead about 3:20 AM Saturday. Police said the victim, Charles Gamble, was rushed to Southside Hospital in Bay Shore. Riverhead Town Police said the victim and the shooter knew each other but did not release the name
of the suspect. Later that morning Gamble’s brother, John, 35 was arrested outside the hospital in Bay Shore after he discharged a weapon. The hospital was placed on lockdown and John Gamble, 35, was charged with First Degree Reckless Endangerment and taken into custody.

The Hempstead decision partly reaffirmed and expanded on a 1988 court case, which directs municipalities “to use what is called ‘the assessor’s formula’ by adding to the capitalization rate a factor which will mathematically account for the proper amount of taxes based upon the income value as computed.” Southampton Town Assessor Lisa Goree said the courses “are assessed according to the income capitalization method,” and have been constant since the 2004 reassessment. “The income and expense information comes from the golf clubs,” Goree pointed out, and suggested the school district needed to obtain the numbers directly from the source.
Continued from page 14.
2014 revenues of $5.8 million and a $5.3 million fund balance. Membership fees accounted for almost $2.3 million. The course superintendent, Jonathan Jennings, has a financial compensation package valued at almost $300,000. Southampton Golf Club Inc. had revenue of almost $4.9 million in 2014 and a fund balance of $4.8 million. National had $8.6 million in revenue for 2013 but less than $2 million in the fund balance, National made $3.4 million in membership fees and another $1.5 million in initiation fees.

Insight
A group called East End Women (and others) to Effect CHANGE formed and within a matter of days filled buses headed to Washington, D.C. on January 21 for the Women’s March. On the North Fork, more activists filled additional buses. Community members gathered in Montauk over the weekend, for a moment of global prayer for protestors at Standing Rock. Next week a rally in Sag Harbor is planned to coincide with Women & Allies Strike Out & Protest. The focus is diversity, inclusivity, and civil rights. On Sunday, East Enders joined upislanders in a vigil for a whale that grounded, and was ultimately euthanized in the waters off East Moriches. Local electeds and environmentalists called for a task force and investigation to ensure there’s a procedure in place in case such a grounding occurs again. All that in just the last few days. Support their passion and conviction, or don’t. But we have to take pride in the willingness of so many members of our community to stand up for their beliefs. On the East End we are blessed with an engaged community. It’s part of what makes our region great. Dr. Seuess put it this way, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”

Hearing Tomorrow Night Dear Editor, Ten days ago the East Hampton Town Board passed a resolution which essentially gives any Board the authority to give any one or all Department Heads a “Merit Bonus” of up to $5,000 for “achieving performance” based on (presumably) “meeting” or “exceeding” the Board’s “expectations” at the Board’s “sole discretion.” There is a public hearing on this proposal scheduled for December 1. Once again the Board is pushing a new law forward with little or no discussion. Why? Doesn’t the public deserve a full explanation of which Department Heads will be receiving these “bonuses” in a transparent manner? And if it they haven’t already been discussed, what is the point of
Is it just me?
passing this law in such a short amount of time? Is there a discretionary slush fund in the budget of $60,000? Or more? I for one am tired of this Board shoving new laws down our throats without the transparency and discussion they deserve. I hope that people take notice and speak up as I’ve noticed the media is barely raising an eyebrow at anything this Board does. TINA PIETTE
With Gratitude Dear Editor, The Kendall Madison Foundation and the Bonac Booster Club recently worked together to hold a golf outing fundraiser at the Maidstone Club. Golfers enjoyed a beautiful fall day on this magnificent course while contributing to two very worthy local community organizations. The golf outing proved a great success and we hope to continue this as an annual event. The Kendall Madison Foundation and the Bonac Booster Club would like to thank the Maidstone Club for allowing this event to be held.

The Kendall Madison Foundation was formed in 2000 in memory of Kendall Madison, a student-athlete beloved by his East Hampton and University of Connecticut communities who was tragically lost at age 21. The Foundation provides scholarships and financial contributions in support of athletic-related activities within the East End and University of Connecticut communities. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded over $100,000 to individuals and organizations, including support for the Kendall Madison Fitness Center at East Hampton High School and scholarships to graduating seniors. The Bonac Booster Club’s main mission is to enhance and promote athletic programs for students participating in sports at East Hampton High School. In its first year, the Booster Club has provided support to varsity and club coaches for sports clinics, camps and leagues; helped contribute towards the expansion of the Kendall Madison Fitness Center at East Hampton High School and awarded college scholarships to outstanding studentathletes at East Hampton High School. The work of the Kendall Madison Foundation and the Bonac Booster Club will be greatly enhanced thanks to the charity and generosity of the participating golfers, the Maidstone Club and all of the golf outing sponsors. Both organizations look forward to continuing our work to support the student athletes, teams and coaches in the East Hampton community KENDALL MADISON FOUNDATION AND BONAC BOOSTER CLUB
Boost Brain Health Dear Editor, Dementia rates are down, according to a new study from the University of Michigan. The researchers believe that it may be because Americans’ rising educational levels and better heart health have boosted their brain health. That’s the good news. The bad news is that Alzheimer’s and other forms of memory loss will likely remain a public health crisis, even with reduced rates. Both high blood pressure and diabetes —conditions largely caused by the consumption of animal-based foods — can increase one’s risk of age-related memory problems.

What were you thankful for this year? Laurie Berlin I just lost my father. He was 94, not exactly shabby but it’s terrible to lose him, so I’m especially grateful that our family can be together for the holiday. He was so excited to vote for the first woman president. He died just hours after her concession speech. Bill Kushner That’s my family over there on the beach. That’s what I’m grateful for. And those people, my family, they’re all about to play football on the beach and they’re sure to embarrass themselves doing it!

But you can reduce your risk of developing dementia, heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems by eating healthy vegan foods. According to Dr. Neal Barnard, the author of Power Foods for the Brain, eating plant-based foods can reduce one’s risk for Alzheimer’s by as much as 70 percent. Almonds, seeds, green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, and beans and chickpeas are especially beneficial for brain health, as are blueberries and grapes, which contain powerful antioxidants that are known to improve learning and memory. So, remember to eat fruit, vegetables, and other tasty vegan foods. See www. PETA.org for more information and free vegan recipes. HEATHER MOORE THE PETA FOUNDATION
Electoral College Dear Editor, The framers of the US Constitution created the Electoral College as a result of a compromise for the presidential
election process. During the debate, some delegates felt that a direct popular election would lead to the election of each state’s favorite son and none would emerge with sufficient popular majority to govern the country. Other delegates felt that giving Congress the power to select the president would deny the people their right to choose. After all, the people voted for their representatives to the federal legislature. The compromise was to set up an Electoral College system that allowed voters to vote for electors, who would then cast their votes for candidates, a system described in Article II, section 1 of the Constitution. Each state is allocated a number of electors equal to the number of its US senators (always two) plus the number of its US representatives (which may change each decade according to the size of each state’s population as determined in the Census). Whichever party slate wins the most popular votes in the state becomes that state’s electors — so that, in effect, Continued on Page 39.

Continued from page 36. whichever presidential ticket gets the most popular votes in a state wins all the electors of that state. The debate has started again as to whether the US Constitution should be amended in order to change the presidential election process. Some promote eliminating the Electoral College in favor of a direct popular vote for president while others believe the Electoral College should remain unchanged. Just as compromise solved the initial problems of the framers so it is that compromise can solve this problem. The solution is to change the electoral votes to electoral points and reward each candidate a percentage of points based on

the percentage of popular votes received in each state. This would eliminate the “winner take all” system thus allowing for all the votes to count. A voter is more apt to believe their vote counted when a percentage of popular votes are taken into account rather than the “all or nothing” system currently in existence. Further, this new system would integrate the desire for a popular vote for president with the need for the individual states to determine who actually gets elected. As for political primaries the number of delegates awarded in each state should be determined by the percentage of votes won by each candidate. For 2016 multiplying the percentage of votes each candidate received {in each state} times the number of electoral votes {in each state} results in the following: Clinton 256.985 and Trump 253.482.

The new cath laboratories would be housed in a $43 million Critical Care Tower that will be constructed on the hospital’s Riverhead campus, providing life-saving capabilities for residents of central and eastern Suffolk County. The application by PBMC was supported by the state Department of Health’s Cardiac Advisory Committee, an ad hoc group of specialists in cardiac surgery. “In January when PBMC joined Northwell Health, we said that this was a new era in healthcare for the entire East End.

Peconic Bay Medical Center. “Given the distance our residents have had to travel for advanced cardiac treatment, and the fact that heart ailments require quick diagnosis and treatment, this facility will make a major difference in the quality of life here on the East End.” Cardiac cath labs are used to place stents in a patient’s heart to open blocked passageways and perform a range of other related life-saving procedures. PBMC’s cath labs will feature the most recent advances in catheterization technology. Construction is expected to begin in early January on the proposed 17,850-square-foot Critical Care Tower that will house the new cath labs. The first floor will enable expansion of the hospital’s emergency department. The second and third floors will be home to PBMC’s new heart center, which will include the new cath lab suites as well as new, advanced technology cardiac care and intensive care units designed to serve the entire East End. In addition, the hospital’s helipad will be relocated to the
roof of the new critical care tower ensuring immediate, safe transport of the most critical patients.

Bees Hope To Give Coach A Parting Gift By Rick Murphy
Coach Carl Johnson’s swan song isn’t going to include a 10th State Championship – well, probably not. Then again, you never know. “We can surprise some people,” said Bridgehampton’s veteran mentor, who has already announced his retirement – after this season. It is indeed a rebuilding year for the Killer Bees, who lost in the state regional final last season. The year before, Johnson led the Bees to the New York State Class D Championship, and he loses the guts of that team, including fouryear mainstays Josh Lamison, Matt Hostetler and Tylik Furman. Still, as the old saying goes, the Bees don’t rebuild, they reload. Elijah Jackson, another veteran, returns for his senior season, and much of the load will fall on his shoulders, Johnson said. “He has to
be a leader. He has to rebound and play better defense,” the coach said. “The difference will be whether he is able to carry the burden or not.” Jackson was the team’s leading three-point shooter last season, and he’ll have the green light this year, but though he’ll be asked to score more, “he doesn’t have to shoulder the whole load.” Elijah Harding, a returning senior, has a starting job locked up as does his cousin, J.P. Harding. Elijah is “starting slowly” said Johnson. “Instead of being a role player, we are asking him to step it up.” Some of his duties will be to hit the boards and pick up some of the slack from Lamison’s departure. J.P., still only a sophomore, has shown flashes. “He’s very athletic, and he can play inside or out,” Johnson said. The biggest adjustment for the

returning Bees will be the presence of a new point guard – Furman held down the job for four years. NaeJon Ward is only five feet– three inches tall, but make no mistake, the freshman has game. “No one is going to take the ball away from him,” Johnson commented. Ward is somewhat of a schoolyard legend already, and he has the speed to shred a defense. He also understands the game, Johnson said: “he’s got a big basketball IQ.” Max Cheng, a reserve the past three seasons, is competing for the fifth starting position along with Maurice Mungin and Elijah White. If Bridgehampton is to get back to the state tournament it will have to get past Shelter Island, and the Indians lost several key players including their two highest scorers. As for League VIII, which is comprised mostly of Class C schools, the Bees are expected to hold their

own, as always. Stony Brook looks to be the favorite going in, but Johnson said Greenport “is really improved.” Win or lose, Johnson swears this is his last season, though he still has a thumb for one more ring. He almost walked away after last season but wavered and decided to return to mentor Mike Miller, the school’s Athletic Director and the assistant coach. Miller is expected to take the reins next season. In a sure sign that Spring is just around the corner, the winter sports schedules are up on the Section XI website. The Bees travel to Wyandanch Saturday to open the season with a non-leaguer against the Warriors. Tip off is scheduled for 2 PM. As is usually the case, the Bees will play in the annual Holiday Classic at SUNY-Selden on the 28th and 29th and will have to contend with Class AA Sachem East in the opener.

FANTASY SP By Skippy Brown

RTS
Coping With Failure There is no way to sugarcoat it. Thousands of us had to face the sad truth over the weekend, our Fantasy Football teams were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Doesn’t it seem like the season just began, and we were filled with joy and optimism? Remember your draft, how confident you were? That was before all those shining knights turned to pawns. Concussions. Drug suspensions. Torn tendons. Before you knew it your once proud team looked like a MASH unit. Now what? First, as we always admonish in this space, go out with dignity. Remember that some of the teams in your league still have playoff aspirations, and you owe it to them (and their competitors) to put your best team out there every week. Let’s say the Milky Ways and Donnie’s Nostrils are tied for the last playoff berth and the Ways have a really tough matchup. Donnie might look at your record and assume that you are a pushover, or that you stopped paying attention and have holes in your lineup. Don’t be that guy. Make your waiver moves and put the strongest team out there you can. Then let the owner of the Milky Ways know you’ve got her back. You never know, the time may come when the situation will be reversed and she can help you out. There is still life after Fantasy Football, even if you are not a fan of DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports). CDM Sports is a great site that has some interesting contests, including an NFL playoff contest wherein you pick the best performers in the playoffs before they begin. You can get three entries for $25 and
if you think it through you’ll find it pretty easy — I’ve won $500 in each of the past four seasons. HINT: choose players from the teams you think will make it all the way to the Super Bowl. Long before Fantasy Sports there was Strat-O-Matic, a board game that allowed players to manage a Major League Baseball team through an entire season. (Unless you are a certain age you probably don’t remember the joy the game brought to so many nerds!) It’s available online nowadays – working within a salary cap you draft a team, set the defense and starting lineups, decide on the pitching rotation and so on. You can even regulate stolen bases, intentional walks, and of course make trades. The computer will play three games a night through an entire 162-game schedule. Best of all, it costs $25 – you can’t beat that: a winter full of box scores for about 15 cents each! If you are in a Rotisserie Baseball League you know now is the time to make trades, acquire draft picks, and prepare for your draft. Hint: a good place to look for young talent is to scour the box scores from the recently concluded Arizona Fall Rookie League. My wife didn’t know what the Hot Stove League was. Back in the day men who yearned for the start of baseball season would gather by the kitchen fire to stay warm and talk about the upcoming season. Yes, it’s still a long way away – but consider this: pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in two months!

Dead Fish Follow-up In other news of Hampton Bays, commercial baymen cleaned some 57,000 pounds of dead fish off beaches along Shinnecock Bay over the weekend, Schneiderman reported. Another 1.5 million pounds washed up on a one-mile stretch of beach fronting Meadow Lane in Southampton Village, according to Will Caldwell of C Well Fish, LLC, the company contracted to clean up the mess. Caldwell estimated a total of 10 million pounds of fish perished in the initial fish kill that clogged the Shinnecock Canal more than two weeks ago. Most washed out to sea. Remains that sunk at first floated up and were washed out into the bay by the tides. Then the wind pushed them up on area beaches. Caldwell said
Independent/Courtesy C Well Fish LLC
about seven or eight miles of beach to the west of the canal are piled with fish carcasses. “It’s really a disaster,” he said. “It’s such a big pile, it’s not just going dissolve.” In some spots the piles are three feet deep and 40 feet wide. Caldwell estimated vestiges of the fish kill will probably still be evident on the beaches next spring. Although no official cause for the fish kill has been articulated, the situation is not unprecedented. Traditionally, bluefish and other predators will chase bunker, also known as menhaden. If they flee to a constrained area (like the canal) and can’t escape, over time the fish will suffocate. Those they aren’t eaten by the predators will suffocate, that is.

It can be removed, and that is the only way to ensure we are not washing our hair and our laundry with this chemical. CCE needs your help. Please contact your Senator and Assembly representative and urge them to call on the Governor to set a drinking water standard for 1,4-dioxane. It is imperative that New York State establish a drinking water standard for this emerging contaminant to protect public health and to prevent this problem from getting worse. We cannot rely on the EPA to set a standard, especially in the midst of uncertainties befalling the agency on the federal level. During these uncertain times, New York needs to remain steadfast and act to protect New Yorkers. Adrienne Esposito is the Executive Director of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment. CCE’s focus is working to build widespread citizen understanding and advocacy for policies and actions designed to manage and protect our natural resources and public health.
