MY POLITICALLY CORRECT CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FOR MY DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS:

A LITTLE OF THIS AND A LITTLE OF THAT Let me start by saying I am one of those Republicans who voted for Hillary. And yes, I’m just as frightened as you are. But the election is over and it’s time we stop moaning and groaning and give Trump a chance. He can’t be as bad as we think he will be. Can he?

His choice of KT McFarland for Deputy National Security Advisor is a great one. She’s a brilliant woman whom I know and admire. I can’t say the same about his choice of Ben Carson as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Here’s what the hilarious Andy Borowitz wrote in The New Yorker: BEN CARSON WARNS THAT BIBLE MAKES NO MENTION OF HOUSING OR URBAN DEVELOPMENT “As you can well imagine, I did not want to be in charge of something that the Bible does not condone,” Carson said, in his first public statement since Donald Trump chose him to be the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

“But then I realized that perhaps the Lord wants me to take this job

so that I can banish housing and urban development from the earth.” ****************************************

DUMPING ON TRUMP The great Garrison Keillor, in a wonderful article called “Life after the election,” has this to say about our new president: “While he’s making alterations, he should consider getting a presidential hairdo rather than the hair of a hotel lounge pianist in 1959. It’s distracting to watch a man talk about national security, looking like he may suddenly burst into ‘Volare.’

“A makeover would take about 15 minutes max. And might a speech therapist try to smooth out the Tony Soprano accent and give him a presidential voice like Nixon’s or Reagan’s and cut out those irritating repetitions for emphasis – do you know what I mean? Am I right? Am I right? You know I’m right. You better believe I’m right.” ****************************************

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2017, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. And, without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.

By accepting these greetings, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

BARBIE DOLLS: MY FAVORITE POLITICALLY INCORRECT JOKE OF 2016 One day a father, on his way home from work, suddenly remembers that it’s his daughter’s birthday.

He stops at a toy store and asks the salesperson, “How much for one of those Barbies in the display window?”

“Which one do you mean, sir? We have Work Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95, Skater Barbie for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.95.”

The amazed father asks, “Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?”

The slightly miffed salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and answers, “Sir, Divorced Barbie comes with Ken’s Truck, Ken’s House, Ken’s Fishing Boat, Ken’s Furniture, Ken’s Dog, Ken’s Computer, one of Ken’s Friends, and a key chain made from Ken’s testicles.”

A Montauk Family Album

By Kitty Merrill

His mother Emily was turning 88 years old this year and Dell Cullum was trying to come up with a special birthday present. A photographer, filmmaker, and wild life rescuer with an avid interest in local history and his family’s genealogy, Cullum broached the idea of documenting Emily’s childhood in Montauk. She loved the idea.

Life at the Beach, a story about growing up at Fort Pond Bay is a pictorial ode to Cullum’s mother and Montauk. Rare photos within the pocket-sized book feature an array of familiar local names since, Dell said, “We related to almost everyone.” Pitts, Burke, McDonald, Joyce, Grimes, Ecker, and Sayre are some of the names a reader will find.

Many of the photos were taken

by Dell’s grandmother, Evangeline (Vangy) Burke, who won a Brownie camera in the Jack Wells Grocery Store prize scratch off board.

In crafting the book, Dell became curator of the Burke family’s extensive collection of photographs.

Add them to the giant steamer trunk of pictures from the Cullum side of the family and Dell said, “I don’t think there’s a place big enough to hold them all,” when an exhibition was suggested.

Since Life at the Beach is dedicated to Emily Cullum, she appears in lots of the shots, and snippets of her bio are included.

She was literally born on the beach, delivered at the beach on Fort Pond Bay, near where the restaurant Navy Beach is currently located.

Born there in 1928, she resided with her parents Vangy and Leo Burke and brother Buddy until the fierce Hurricane of 1938 destroyed the family home.

“I remember that day,” she told The Independent. “A big wave came over the top of the house and it was time to go.” The family piled into a car and headed for higher ground.

On the way up the hill to the Montauk Manor, the car stalled out.

Her father and uncle pushed the car up the hill as her aunt steered. The manor was closed for the season, but a caretaker let the refugees in.

They stayed there for three days, and subsequently moved to Shepherd’s Neck, where Emily’s father built a $500 Sears & Roebuck house.

Every picture tells a story, Dell reminded this week. As he and Emily selected photographs, the octogenarian recounted the tale behind each one. The process afforded mother and son hours of

time together over the course of months.

Emily’s favorites among the collection include photos of the cottages along Fort Pond Bay. “She could name every house,” Dell informed, as Emily noted, “It brings back so many memories.”

The pair will be on hand to offer signed copies of Life at the Beach this weekend at the annual St. Michael’s Christmas Fair held at the senior citizen housing complex

in Amagansett.

And, taking a page from the book, the fair will be filled with family, as cousins Patty Collins Sales and Catherine Ecker are found among the day’s vendors. It takes place Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM. Can’t make it to the fair? Visit Dell’s website ImaginationNature.com to find the book, plus additional items, including amazing photographs, calendars, and other books.

Holiday Happenings & Kudos For Chris Compiled by Camila Tucci

Kudos For Chris Chris Russo, a senior at Riverhead High School, will be featured as one of the contestants in this season of “Project Runway Jr.” on December 22 at 10 PM on Lifetime.

An aspiring designer Chris saw an opportunity to apply on social media and quickly took advantage of it. After an application and audition tape were sent in, he was one of twelve who were chosen to participate.

“I think they like the fact that, as my friends and family say, I’m kind of a character and not afraid to talk” said Chris describing his interview.

His family has been an important influence in his fashion. His grandmother, Marilyn Russo, taught him to sew and his aunt, Suzanne Russo, works in NYC as a designer for Lynn Ritchie Design. Chris interned at Lynn Ritchie over the summer while shooting “Project Runway.”

“I love abstract or geometric designs of all kinds,” explains Chris,

Renewed Hunt For Double Murderer

By Rick Murphy

Thirty years later, detectives are rekindling the search for a man accused of a double murder, this time using cutting edge technology to provide fresh clues.

It was a grizzly scene, more so because it occurred in Southampton,

where murdered bodies show up once every century or so.

But on December 21, 1986, S o u t h a m p t o n To w n P o l i c e , summoned by a bartender, gingerly pried open the trunk of a car parked at the Elk’s Club on County Road 39, already aware from the stench that something foul had occurred.

Hamptons Septic Services 631-267-7515 www.HamptonsSepticService.com

What they found nearly sickened them – two decaying bodies, one blown to shreds. New York State Police confirmed what the local police already knew: a double murder.

It didn’t take police long to ascertain identities: Billy Fischer 19, and Nancy Hyer, 21, last seen

on December 11, were the victims.

He had been shot numerous times from close range, mostly in the head and face. She had been stabbed twice with a long blade.

An autopsy reported 18 shots fired into the male victim.

It didn’t take long to interview Continued on Page 15.

a prime suspect. The pair had met three weeks earlier in Southampton, where Billy’s father had a weekend getaway. Fischer had called Hyer on December 11 at the Hicksville home she shared with her mother and sister. He asked her to accompany him to Southampton to visit his dad. It was a nasty night, rainy and windy, but Hyer agreed. The two were never seen alive again.

When Hyer met Fischer, he was deeply in debt and seriously ill with cystic fibrosis. Fischer hadn’t spoken with his father in over a year but he decided to ask him for help.

He wanted Hyer along for moral support.

According to unsolved.com, the pair weren’t lovers; Fischer had met Hyer by chance when she became lost and he brought her home, striking up a friendship in the process.

New York State Police senior investigator Stephen J. Oates, said Billy’s father, William Fischer, made a good living at a Manhattan car dealership. There was evidence he was a cocaine user, according to public reports.

It was Billy’s car parked at the Elk’s Club, which was seldom used during the offseason back then.

Locals reported seeing it there for about 10 days before police were called.

Nancy’s mother, Joan, and her sister, Debra, had urged her not to go out that night. The next day, they called police and William Fischer.

The father told them the young couple had visited him a night earlier but eventually left.

Joan and Debra Hyer went to visit the father: he did not seem concerned, and he was impatient with them.

Everyone involved suspected the senior Fischer, who was arrogant and rude by nature. Neighbors revealed he had begun renovating the interior of his Southampton home after the disappearances – working in the middle of the night.

According to published reports, detectives quickly zeroed in and obtained a search warrant. Two .22 caliber bullets were recovered along with a strand of Billy’s hair.

According to unsolved.com, additional testing established that there was a large amount of blood splattered all about the hallway. It was later determined Nancy had been stabbed there.

But the suspect was one step ahead of the police, and has been ever since. Fischer collected more than $100,000 by mortgaging his house, then disappeared. His car was found at JFK airport. He hasn’t

been seen since.

Nancy’s sister, now Debra McCabe, has been openly critical of investigators, maintaining the case was abandoned and a proper search never conducted for the alleged killer.

Last week police released pictures of what William Fischer may look like now, using new computer imaging technology. Investigators are hoping someone out there may have spotted him. McCabe, for one, thinks it’s plausible he may have returned to the area.

Fischer is five-foot 11-inch, and is believed to have thinning hair that was salt and pepper colored 20 years ago, his hairline may well have receded since then. He has blue eyes. Anyone with information is urged to call State Police at 631756-3300.

When Obamacare Is Medicaid

By Rick Murphy

In it’s zeal to declare the Affordable Care Act (Obmacare) a resounding success, the Obama administration, perhaps deliberately, misclassified millions of Americans who gained health insurance for the first time under the new law.

So says no less of an expert than Jonathan Gruber, one of the chief architects of the ACA, in a study released last week.

Gruber concluded that roughly twothirds of new enrollees funneled into Medicaid through Obamacare

portals in 2014 were eligible for the program under previous state eligibility criteria — meaning that they were not made eligible by the ACA. The difference is a subtle one but of grave importance to middle class Americans trying to cope with ever-rising medical costs. “The most important difference between Medicaid and Obamacare is that Obamacare health plans are offered by private health insurance companies while Medicaid is a government program,� wrote Elizabeth Davis, RN for verywell. com.

Medicaid, the government health insurance program for low-income United States residents, is a social welfare program like food stamps.

The term “Obamacare� is used to describe private health insurance purchased through the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance exchanges.

Under Obamacare people whose income fall below a certain level are allowed to receive Medicaid coverage under ACA guidelines, and if the state they live in signed on to the ACA, the state would pick up part of the tab.

It should be noted guidelines vary from state to state and some states refused to participate at all.

Obamacare proponents point out that there are 21 million Americans who now have health insurance for the first time because of the ACA. But according to the Congressional Budget Office, 13 million of them were enrolled in Medicaid through the ACA. Gruber contends many of those could have simply applied for Medicaid and cut out the Obamacare portal, which basically acts as a middle man.

Medicaid is a public assistance program based largely on financial need. Federal, state, and local governments pay medical bills for qualifying recipients using public money collected through taxes.

Each state can shape the program to its individual needs.

Medicaid is often confused with Medicare, a federal program that provides health insurance to seniors age 65 and over.

According to Gruber’s analysis, first published in Forbes, many of the Americans gaining health insurance for the first time “were people who were eligible for the Medicaid program.� In other words, many millions of the “new� insured would have been able to apply for and receive Medicaid directly, with Continued on Page 44.

After Obamacare: What’s Next

By Rick Murphy

When President-elect Donald Trump named Tom Price to become Secretary of Health and Human Services he likely drove the final nail into the Affordable Care Act. Trump, of course, campaigned on the promise to repeal the controversial law, often referred to as Obamacare. However, he has waivered in recent weeks after meeting with President Obama, promising to consider keeping two key ACA provisions: coverage for adult-aged children living at home and for people already stricken with a serious, pre-existing maladies.

Price, on the other hand, is about as hard line as they come.

The congressman from Georgia has repeatedly introduced legislation to repeal and replace the ACA and is one of hundreds of Republicans who have voted dozens of times to repeal the federal health care law since it was enacted in 2010.

Price, if he is confirmed, will be in charge of Medicare, Medicaid, and have authority over the Food and Drug Administration. He is an orthopedic surgeon with a degree from the University of Michigan.

Given its complexities, many experts think repealing the ACA is a long shot because it would have to be replaced, and there is no concrete plan currently on the table.

“I don’t think anyone would

want to pass a bill overnight that cost 20 million people their health insurance,” said Michael Sparer, chair of health policy and management at Columbia University’s School of Public Health.

“The question is what does [Trump] really want to do.”

According to CNN Money’s Tami Luhby, “Passing a bill to overturn Obamacare would require 60 votes in the Senate, and Republicans don’t control enough seats to squash a filibuster by the Democrats. But GOP lawmakers, who will have 51 seats in the Senate, could use the budget reconciliation process that only needs approval of a simple majority. This process is limited

to provisions that affect federal revenues and spending.”

Enrollment for 2017 is underway now. “Some 20 million people are insured either through the individual health insurance exchanges, the expansion of Medicaid or the ability of children to stay on their parents’ plans until age 26,” Luhby wrote.

However, Jonathan Gruber, a chief architect of the ACA, pointed out that millions of those people would have been eligible for Medicaid simply by applying for it, leaving open the possibility to government deliberately inflated enrollment figures to make Obamacare seem more successful than it really is.

(See the accompanying article in this section).

Regardless, the uninsured rate has plummeted, and stands at 8.9 percent, the lowest in history.

Trump, though somewhat vague, wants to allow HMO purchasers to shop out of state for plans. He also wants premiums to be tax deductible. Predictably, wrote Sarah Kliff for Voxx, “Trump’s proposal is much less favorable to low-income people than other Republican alternatives to the Affordable Care Act.”

The Perils Of Being A Landlord A Manhattan woman who owns property in the town recently told East Hampton Town Police that she won a judgment against a former renter who subsequently threatened her with bodily harm. She did not want to press charges but wanted the incident on record.

Identity Theft An Audubon Street resident told East Hampton Town Police that on June 7 an unknown person transferred $4183 from her savings account into her checking account and then withdrew it. The bank closed the account and agreed to refund the money because the culprit was able to extract it without proper identification. A similar thing also happened to a Crystal Drive couple around the same time.

Reward Offered Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information leading to the arrest of a hit and run driver.

On October 21 at approximately 11:30 PM, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle operated by Lee Lopez was traveling eastbound on Route 25A, near the intersection with Continued on Page 48.

New Year’s EVE Party

Hampton Ballet Theater’s Nutcracker DECEMBER 31 • 6:30PM – 11:00PM Ring in the New Year! Bring the kids and join us for our annual Fishes & Wishes New Year’s Eve Celebration!

By Nicole Teitler Few theatrics are as synonymous with the holiday season as The Nutcracker.

Each year countless renditions take stage and transform everyday realities into a world of lighthearted imagination.

This weekend The Hampton Ballet Theatre School will take its audience into the home of Hans Stahlbaum in its eighth annual production of a Tchaikovsky classic.

The performance will take place at Guild Hall’s John Drew Theater in East Hampton on Friday at 7 PM, Saturday at 1 PM and 7 PM, and Sunday at 2 PM, introducing a magical stage of sugar plum fairies and Christmas cheer.

Rarely are any two performances of The Nutcracker the same. That’s what makes the production process so enjoyable – it allows creative enhancements, but the basic plot remains consistent throughout.

The Stahlbaums host their annual Christmas Eve party surrounding a tree both grand in size and decoration.

Clara and Fritz, the children, joyously play until their godfather, Drosselmeyer, a toymaker, arrives with gifts in hand for all the children at the party to enjoy.

Fritz receives a beautiful drum while Clara is given the glorious nutcracker.

Jealous, Fritz and the boys toss the nutcracker around until it accidentally breaks. Without worry, Drosselmeyer fixes the toy under his large, black

cape.

When the party draws to an end and the parents go to bed, Clara checks up on her nutcracker under the tree and falls asleep with it in her arms.

At midnight Clara is awoken and her dream begins as the toys around her are transformed, becoming life size.

This year’s ballet is choreographed

by Sara Jo Strickland, director of HBTS, with costumes designed and hand sewn by Yuka Silvera and lighting overseen by Sebastian Paczynski.

Adam and Gail Baranello, of A&G Dance Company, will dance the Arabian Prince and Princess, two Pro Student Level 6 at HBTS, Abigail Hubbell and Caitlin Hubbell with share the roles of Dew Drop Princess and Snow Queen, and Rose Kelly, also a Pro Student Level 6 at HBTS, will dance the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Nick Peregrino will dance as Cavalier, the role of Dew Drop Prince will be played

by Timothy Sloan and the Snow King will be played by Juan Carlos.

Advanced ticket sales are $20 for children (under 12 years of age) and $25 for adults for regular orchestra seating. Day of performance tickets prices are $25 for children (under 12 years of age) and $30 for adults for regular orchestra seating.

Four local artists who make a seamless connection between nature and the abstract will be showing at Ashawagh Hall on Saturday and Sunday. Their work includes abstract painting, ceramic sculpture, and prints from a variety of techniques including monotypes, solar prints, fish prints and photography.

Artists 4 Israel

The Jewish Center of the Hamptons will host Craig Dershowitz for an informative and inspiring presentation on Saturday.

At 11 AM, the students of Gates of Jewish Learning will assemble Healing Arts Kits to send to Sderot, Israel, the town most heavily traumatized by the ongoing conflict along the Gaza border. Dershowitz has been awarded the Key to the City of Sderot, the Shomer Yisrael Award and a Special Commendation from the Prime Minister of Israel for his work using modern and contemporary art to serve humanitarian purposes and his creative advocacy initiatives. He recently created “Healing Ink,” where he and several American tattoo artists flew to Israel to tattoo wounded Israeli soldiers in order to hide battle scars.

Art Gallery at Quogue Library p r e sen t s photo g r a p h e r M ic he l e

Dragonetti, a native Long Islander whose work in recent years has been focused primarily on her ongoing Boat Hull series. The series began in the marinas of Montauk, where she was drawn to boats out of the water in need of repair.

“I find particular appeal in the contrast between the abstract patterns of the painted lines and the colors in my Boat Hull series, and the overlying evidence of their weather and age, which together create a unique interplay of textures,” said Dragonetti.

By focusing her compositions consistently on the triangular patterns of hulls in a square format, she is able to highlight the essential geometry of the images. “With these images I transform often humble vessels into abstract portraits, celebrating their imperfect appeal.”

Dragonetti has expanded her series nationally and internationally, with images of boat hulls from Sag Harbor, Noyac, Vermont, Connecticut, Los Angeles and Portugal, in addition to Montauk, and has recently exhibited the series at Aqua Art (Miami), Art New York and several international art fairs. She also serves as a member of the board of the non-profit Professional Women Photographers group.

The show will run through December 31. More of her work can be seen on her website www.micheledragonetti. com.

Week of 12/7/1612/14/16 Highlights of the week:

VIRGO (8/23 - 9/22) Whether it is reorganizing your home, or re-visiting family issues, you are creating a new phase in your home life. Creating healthy space is important now.

Today Venus, the planet of love and affection, enters Aquarius making for a more social atmosphere. We should all be feeling friendlier and less serious. On Friday Jupiter (the planet of expansion and exaggeration) joins the Sun and Saturn (the planet of limits) in the sign of Sagittarius. This can be a day for rewards given for work well done or a day to pay the piper for letting things slide.

Tuesday, the Full Moon in Gemini encourages us to organize and plan whatever our future dreams/desires may be. More secrets can be surprisingly discovered leading us to make important changes.

We are entering the shadow of the upcoming Mercury Retrograde on December 19, so if you start to feel more confused just double check all communications. Back up your computers and phones and check those roads before car trips.

LIBRA (9/22 - 10/22) There can be lots of communications with friends, colleagues and relatives this week encouraging you to talk about your feelings.

It’s all good.

ARIES (3/20 - 4/20) Although you may be chomping at the bit to change your life in every way, take time to step back and use some careful planning. If you can’t travel, perhaps developing a spiritual practice will ease your nerves.

TAURUS (4/20 - 5/21) It’s all about other people’s money whether it’s the home budget or business partnerships. Investments will pay off, so trust that good things are on the way.

GEMINI (5/21 - 6/22) Relationships and partnerships can come under discussion. What needs to go will go. You can manifest what you want.

CANCER (6/22 - 7/22) Work may cut into your free time leaving you to wonder what direction you want to pursue. Perhaps a chance to work at home?

Perhaps a time for a change?

LEO (7/22 - 8/22) It’s either love and romance or a creative project that is on your mind. Love is all around you, so enjoy the glow.

You’ll also be able to make some of these treats to take home and use as decorations on your own “holiday tree” for the birds. Bring a shoebox to take home some of your decorations.

Seniors Holiday Dinner Independent/Richard Lewin

On Sunday afternoon, the members of the Montauk Fire Department, the Montauk Point Lions Club, Montauk Boy Scout Troop 136, and other volunteers honored the senior citizens of Montauk. Diners were treated to a full course holiday meal, a visit from Santa Claus, prayers by both Montauk Pastors, William Hoffmann and Thomas Murray. Those who were unable to get to the fire house had their meal home delivered. Chief Joe Lenahan chose the dinner to officially announce his retirement as chief, and to thank everyone for their three years of support.

Broadway Reporting From

(& Sometimes Off)

By Isa Goldberg

The horrors of family life have been fueling Nicky Silver’s dramadies for some time now. In his early play, Pterodactyls (1993), he wished the nuclear family into extinction. And when he made his Broadway debut just four years ago, with The Lyons, it was with an equally acrimonious family. In fact, Linda Lavin couldn’t have been bitchier or funnier in her role as the wife of a dying man.

Currently, Off Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre with his latest comedy, This Day Forward,a dark one to be sure, he takes us back to the wedding night of two soon to be unhappily married people.

Mar tin (Michael Crane) is a privileged Jewish boy who is head over heals over Irene (Holley Fain). But Irene is in love with Emil (Joe Tippitt), a grease monkey who drinks beer and loses all his money at a game of dice.

Besides, Irene’s parents hate him. They love Martin - he’s wealthy, Jewish, and tame.

At t he rea liz a t io n o f I r e ne ’s discontent, however, Martin tries to buy her off with the dream of a house in the suburbs – Westchester. It’s 1958.

The entire American economy is focused

on building that ideal lifestyle and the incredible infrastructure that will make it possible.

But at the end of Act I, Irene leaves him and their room at the St. Regis hotel, with its tepid pink walls and milquetoast décor (scenic design by Allen Moyer).

Martin’s only consolation is the Polish maid, portrayed with inconsolable wit

by June Gable (television’s “Friends”).

She is right out of an “I Love Lucy” episode.

It’s 2004 when Act II opens. We are in a swank Manhattan condo. Here, Martin Crane portrays Noah, Martin and Irene’s son, a theater director with lots of cred and an avaricious eye for sexy young men. In that role, Andrew Burnap (the porter from Act I) is well suited, albeit a bit sensitive.

In reflecting on his youth, we learn that Noah’s dad had hit him with his belt and his mother let him know that she never wanted him. Nothing too out of the ordinary, as director Mark Brokaw presents it. Just the outcome of the years of bitter disappointment that marked their marriage and destroyed their children.

As it turns out, This Day Forward is more of an indictment of American

This Day Forward

life and how we’ve built it, than a promise of a glowing future. In fact, these beneficiaries of the aspiring ‘50s appear simply callow.

Notes from the Field Cultural anthropologist, sociologist, and performance artist Anna Deavere Smith returns to the New York stage, with yet another jolting theater documentary. This time the subject is “the school to prison pipeline.”

The audience arrives at Second Stage Theatre off Broadway to a scroll of data projected on (a kind of) video wall. One of them states that in 2016, one of every 13 African American citizens was not able to vote because of felony convictions – four times that of any other group. Smith tackles her subject with hard facts, extensive research, and in-depth interviews.

To illustrate her point about “prison as a right of passage” for Black Americans, she presents seven diverse case studies. Among them, Freddie Gray in Baltimore, who at the age of 25 was murdered for the unforgivable act of looking a policeman in the eye, and Niya Kenny in South Carolina, who at eighteen was sent to an adult penitentiary for defending another girl from the demands of a white male teacher.

Throughout these grueling tales of racial injustice, Smith -- ever the performance artist -- portrays all of the characters, one more poignant than the next. Through the powerful words of her subjects, the playwright describes the process by which African Americans are incarcerated, and the system of enforced slavery, through poverty, which prevails and pervades.

From her early works, Fires in the Mirror and Twilight Los Angeles about the riots in Crown Heights and LA respectively, Anna Deavere Smith has been a chronicler of injustice. And she’s so entertaining, the didacticism simply becomes a form of consciousness raising. “If everyone could just help one kid, it would be a better world,” she tells us, and asks us to repeat it.

Today, at a time that is so heavy with political strife, Smith is as rousing as she has ever been. Brilliant, focused, and deeply heartfelt.

The Death of the Last Black Man in America AKA The Negro Book of The Dead It’s not entirely clear what SuzanLori Parks, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, is up to in her phantasmagoria at The Signature Theatre, Off Broadway.

Written in 1990, it still makes for a captivating 70 minutes of theater.

A cacophony of characters, ranging from Prunes and Prisms (Mirirai Sithole), who only says those very words, and in the strictly affected manner described in Dickens’ novel, Little Dorrit; Voice on Thuh Tee V (William Demeritt), who looks and speaks like a TV reporter, and Quen-ThenPharaoh Hatshepsut (Amelia Workman), among several others. Black Man with Watermelon, the central character, is powerfully portrayed by Daniel J. Watts.

Together these characters, brilliantly costumed unto their iconic natures

by Montana Blanco, create a vivid ensemble. Dancing around Riccardo Hernandez’s set, an electric chair, a long extended dead limb, and a rope for hanging, they evoke a panorama of choreographic styles from the minstrel show to pharaonic dance.

At one point, they are encouraged to put the chair in the middle of the city so people can come to watch with their picnic baskets. Raja Feather Kelly’s choreography creates a wonderful sense of movement and action on the stage, in spite of the underlying outrage.

That they are desperate to bring attention to their situation explains Prunes and Prisms’ prim and proper speech, and the need for Voice on Thuh Tee V’s pronouncements. Driven by the fear that the past will be erased and history distorted, they decide to document their lives, but even then they realize the document may not survive, and in the future, people will not be aware that the black race ever existed.

Accompanied by outrageous sound effects (Palmer Hefferan), and projections (Hannah Wasileski) of video static that grow into thundering drums, the Black Man with Watermelon is lynched. He is joined, ceremoniously, by several other watermelon bearing Blacks.

Passionately and energetically directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, Parks’ black comedy shows us lies that parade as truths, and the lives that are usurped by those lies.

Insight

Life gets hectic as the Christmas noose begins to tighten. It’s so easy to lose track of days, or weeks, we’d like to help you remember the important ones.

It’s National Handwashing Awareness Week, Recipe Greetings for the Holidays Week, and Computer Science Education Week. So, get sudsy and sterile before you go look up the perfect gingerbread-making instructions on the web.

It’s quince, watermelon, root vegetables, tomatoes, winter squash, and exotic fruits month. Maybe Google’s got a recipe combining them all. Wash up before you search.

In addition to being National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, today is International Aviation Day and National Cotton Candy Day. Tomorrow is National Brownie Day and “Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.” Would that one could fire up Dr. Who’s TARDIS and travel back to before those brownies settled around the waist.

Saturday it’s Human Rights Day, Nobel Prize Day, and for the uber-organized, it’s Dewey Decimal System Day. Sunday’s International Mountain Day. Same time, celebrate UNICEF’s birthday with some carbs in recognition of National Noodle Ring Day. Can’t wait till Monday. It’s Gingerbread House Day, Poinsetta Day, Ambrosia Day and National Ding-a-ling Day. Next Tuesday, set aside 24 hours to celebrate cocoa, violins, and horses. It’s also “Pick a Pathologist Pal” Day. Say hey to your favorite lab tech and invite them to join you for lunch on December 14. It’s National Bouillabaisse Day. December is National Tie Month, Safe Toys and Gifts Month, Universal Human Rights Month, and Spiritual Literacy Month.

Our all time favorite and the inspiration for this reminder?

December is Awareness Month of Awareness Months.

Independent VOICES

Democrats’ Bias Dear Ms. Merrill, In the spirit of your editorial, “Get Active” (The Independent, 11/30/16), and in a similar vein to Melania Trump’s decision as first lady to focus on ending social media bullying, perhaps Mr. Zeldin might consider adding to his agenda for a “New Era of American Strength” a promise to protect the rights of women.

A good place to start, I believe, would be to investigate whether Southampton as an

institution engages in behavior that in some quarters would qualify as biases against women. Anna Throne-Holst has asked, “Why aren’t women more galvanized?” Could it be possible that women who galvanize are ridiculed by Ms. Throne-Holst or her colleagues?

That issue aside, I believe it’s difficult for women to protect themselves from “public servants” who deliberately exclude women impacted by “official” decisions, expecting women to validate decisions made for them. However, exclusion of women often results in collateral damage to other members of the community.

volume of traffic on the dual-usage driveway is significantly greater than on any street in the as-of-right subdivision. So it should come as no surprise that several accidents have occurred at the entrance to the driveway.

The flaws of the PDD are documented in two independent analyses. However the PDD also demonstrates that women can be treated cavalierly and even contemptuously whereas, in the as-of-right subdivision, every property owner was treated equally and fairly.

If the PDD in question were created by Donald Trump’s real estate organization, I suspect Democrats would label it creepy and sexist. Instead in Southampton, we have a culture that has covered up Democrats’ biased treatment of women while they rally in Sag Harbor to protest Republican biases.

What do you think of Trump’s Cabinet picks so far?

Gerry Leprine So far they’re pretty good. The early picks are strong business people and that’s what this country needs right now. We have to get the economy back on track and get the people back to work. That will make everyone happy.

And it takes a big person to appoint people who didn’t endorse him.

Annete Zaino He’s choosing people who didn’t agree with him during the campaign. That’s interesting.

Even brave. I respect that he can do that. I like the possibililty of Mitt Romney as Secretary of State. He would be a great choice.

Eileen Flynn I’m not happy he was elected president and I’m not happy with his cabinet choices. If Mitt Romney becomes Secretary of State that might be alright as he’s relatively moderate. But his other choices are too far to the Right. Hopefully he can moderate or temper Trump a little bit.

Bill O’Dea I’m disappointed but not surprised. If Romney looks good, it’s only in the context of how awful Trump is. As for Mattis as Secretary of Defense, it’s hard to be enthusiastic about an ex-Marine General. It’s supposed to be about civilian control of the military. He’s putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.

RICK’S SPACE Things To Look Forward To “Survivor 14” This season may be the best ever.

We’ve put our contestants in some of the most desolate places in the world. We’ve seen them shivering to survive the bitter cold and eating bugs and rodents to keep from starving. But nothing – NOTHING – prepared us for the most harrowing experience of them all.

Twelve contestants are dropped off in Montauk on July 4th weekend and must navigate the shark infested . . . nightclub scene. One tribe, the women, will wear next to nothing, look like they are pouting at all times, and memorize the names of dozens of exotic drinks to order like a Ketel One Lyme Thyme Bomb, a Frozen Mescalina Mañana Añejo Marguerita, or a Constipated Mojito Ombre Sparkler. Their phones will be pink and mostly, their speech garbled.

The other tribe, all men, must get inside the velvet ropes, secure a table and a bottle of bubbly at the loudest, dirtiest, and therefore most popular club in Montauk, and get a member from the other tribe liquored up to the point of slurring.

Then, each tribal member must secure a Land Rover and drive over to the Kardashian place.

If you get Kim in the flesh you automatically win: if you get Kanye snuff out your candle, loser, and catch the next Uber to the coast.

Scenes From The President’s Cabinet Go inside the White House and become a fly on the wall at President Trump’s first cabinet meeting. Try and guess who said what! Win a new Carrier Air Conditioner!

“I’m nobody’s damn secretary!”

“I thought a lot of these old dudes died in the 1980s!”

“What do Health, Education and Welfare have to do with each other, anyway?”

“What do you mean HE isn’t coming?”

“We’re not really going to provide human services to anyone, right?”

“We should get the Super Bowl pool going right away.”

“Where’s the cold cut spread?”

“The Joint Chief of Staff is from Colorado, right?”

“Let’s send the Vice President out for mustard.”

The East Hampton Huntin’ And Trappin’ Guide Yeah, we’re green. Yeah, we have zero carbon footprints. But our leaders aren’t South-Of-The Highway nouveau riche who spout Liberal dogma and hire illegal immigrants as housekeepers and hedge trimmers – they just take money from them come election time.

No sir, our town leaders are regular folk, just like us, and they put their tight, sexy capri leggings on one leg at a time just like the rest of us – and that’s just the men on the board.

Now, the town has released a new guide so all of us can act like we were born and raised here and didn’t catch the last Land Rover out of Brooklyn.

Want to be a true local? You need to pick up a copy of The East Hampton Huntin’ and Trappin’ Guide, and then you have to eat

like the Bubbies do. Everything you need to get started, including a skinning knife, a half-dozen traps, and a map of the best spots to set your traps, including in the parking lot by the pizza place, right outside the candy shop.

Obituary

David Lee, 88

A fixture in innumerable community organizations, from the Lions Club to the Sag Harbor Community Band, David Lee, owner of Cove Jewelers in Sag Harbor, died on November 28. He was 88.

Mr. Lee moved to Sag Harbor from England in the late 1940s and quickly embraced his new home.

He served as president and treasurer of the Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce, and lobbied for local tourism as a founding member of

the Long Island Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Service in local government included stints on the Sag Harbor School Board and the Sag Harbor Village Zoning Board of Appeals.

He served as chair of the East Hampton Housing Authority and the East Hampton Citizens Advisory Committee.

A drummer, he was president of the Sag Harbor Community Band for over two decades. Mr. Lee was a member of Temple Adas Israel for 68

years. Synagogue members described him as a “beloved guiding light.” He hosted a radio show on WLNG. In a remembrance of Mr. Lee published by the Sag Harbor Express Douglas Feiden described him as “a civic leader, business booster and tourism promoter nonpareil who devoted the bulk of his life to family, faith, fellowship — and the guiding principles of volunteerism.

“And he wore more hats than anyone in the village as community leader-cum-synagogue leader-school board leader-band leader-drummeremcee-radio personality-property manager-fixer of roofs-licensed realty sales associate-jeweler-watchmaker-

village Zoning Board of Appeals member-East Hampton Town housing chairman-kibitzer and storyteller extraordinaire-owner of Cove Men’s Shop and later Cove Jewelers in the space now occupied by Harbor Booksand so much more.”

In an announcement of his passing, members of the Sag Harbor Lions Club offered, “Our deepest sympathies to his loving wife Joanna Paitchell Lee, daughters Michelle (Steven) Connar and Cheryl (Vincent) Laviano, granddaughter Cantor Rebecca (Oren) Goren, great-granddaughters Yael and Na’ama, and brothers, Martin Lee and Bernard Lee.” He’d been a member of the club for 46 years.

A funeral service was held at Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor last Thursday. A memorial service will be held in December, with date and time to be determined, where the Sag Harbor Lions will honor his service to the club and association.

or without Obamacare.

“Gruber’s results suggest that if the ACA were repealed, a lot fewer people would likely lose coverage than previously thought,” according to Forbes.

Gruber made headlines in 2014 when he said, “the stupidity of the American voter” made it important for him and Democrats to hide Obamacare’s true costs from the public. “That was really, really critical for the thing to pass,” said Gruber in a speech captured on tape.

The White House tried to minimize Gruber’s role in the formation of the ACA only to be bitten again: emails and other public documents proved Gruber was a constant presence at key

C

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

meetings about the ACA – some in the White House – and that he was paid $400,000 as a consultant.

Gruber’s latest findings are particularly important since President-elect Donald Trump has made Medicaid reform a top priority (see accompanying article).

Obamacare, already on the critical list after Trump’s triumph, continues to be under-utilized by the most coveted potential user group.

Any chance Obamacare had of solvency depended upon young, healthy Americans signing on, or at least paying an increasing penalty for refusing to purchase health insurance.

Instead, Sally Pipes wrote in Forbes, “As many as 9 million people decided to go off-exchange for coverage this year,” even some who were eligible for subsidies.

Though the White House insists it’s because those people are unaware

REAL ESTATE

IN THE NEWS

there are cheaper plans available, Pipes concluded, “Off-exchange plans offer customers something increasingly rare on Obamacare’s marketplaces — choice.

“Some 2.5 million people have purchased off-exchange coverage even though they would’ve qualified for income-based subsidies.”

A s r e c e n t l y a s 2 013 , t h e Congressional Budget Office was projecting that 24 million

Americans would buy insurance through Obamacare’s exchanges by 2016.

Instead, there are almost as many insured on off-exchange plans – nine million – as there are on exchange plans – $11 million.

In other words, millions of Americans would rather pay more to be free of the red tape and restrictions inherent in ACA provider programs.

New Jersey’s Wine Library and other top national retailers based in that state have once again been forced to stop shipping to New York State customers.

The matter of who can and can’t ship has been a matter of litigation for several years.

The issue, said State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, is that UPS and FedEx are prohibited by some states from shipping alcohol out of state.

The number of states that permit intrastate shipping has risen to 43. New Jersey is one of four with limited direct shipping allowed; the other states ban it entirely.

According to Wine Spectator, “Many wine lovers have violated their state’s wine shipping laws without even realizing it. Wineshipping laws are very loosely enforced: Some wineries and retailers are happy to ship wine to states that may not permit it, and not since prohibition has an adult consumer been prosecuted for illegally receiving wine for their own personal consumption.”

Apparently, shippers like FedEx received a letter recently from the New York State Attorney General’s office reminding them of the intrastate shipping laws. FedEx requires wine retailers to sign FedEx Alcohol Shipping Agreement wherein both parties agree to comply with all state and federal shipping regulations.

Search Prompts 29 Charges On November 30 the East Hampton Town Ordinance Department announced the conclusion of an investigation into an illegal basement apartment in a house at 64 Woodbine Drive in Springs with the execution of a search warrant.

East Hampton Town Police and the Ordinance Department conducted an inspection at the house, and, as a result, charged the owner, Gerard Picco, 54, with 29 Town and New York State Code violations. Picco was present at the time of the inspection.

Officials say he resides with his family on the main floor of the house, while a second family lives in an illegal basement apartment.

In the bedrooms, several of the

smoke detectors had been taken down or were completely missing.

The lower-level apartment had a full kitchen and a full bathroom, walls, and plumbing, as well as electrical outlets, all of which had allegedly been constructed and installed without any building permits or inspections, as required by the Town Code. The ceiling height in the basement apartment was below the Building Code minimum of seven feet.

The lack of egress (escape) windows in the two bedrooms, the lack of smoke detectors and having alterations completed without inspections made this extremely dangerous for the occupants,

according to Kelly Kampf, the Assistant Town Director of Public Safety, who was present for the inspection.

The Building Code requires bedrooms to have egress, or emergency escape, windows to be a minimum of 5.7 square feet, so that an easy escape would be possible in the event of a fire or other emergency. The Code also provides that the windows be within 44 inches of the floor to facilitate a quick and unobstructed escape in an emergency.

In this basement apartment, the windows were 56 inches off the floor, and their size was a mere 11 inches by 29 inches, falling woefully

short of the required dimension, officials said. A bedroom where two young children slept had no windows at all.

“Illegal and unsafe basement occupancy creates the potential for tragic consequences for occupants and overcrowds neighborhoods and must be strictly enforced,” said Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell.

Picco was issued an appearance ticket to appear in East Hampton Town Justice Court on January 16.

The investigation is continuing, and a referral will be made to the Suffolk County Office of Wastewater Management regarding the additional wastewater flow based on the increased number of bedrooms.

Girls Hoopsters Set For Competitive Season

By Rick Murphy

If history is any indication, League VII figures to be among the most topsy-turvy in Suffolk as nine high school girls basketball teams vie for postseason berths.

Among them are local standouts like Mattituck, always a threat in Class B, and the reigning Class C Suffolk champs, the Pierson Whalers. Mercy and Southold/ Greenport are the other local teams that comprise the nine-team league.

Mattituck beat a good Class A team Friday, besting Centereach at home 51-45. All-state candidate Liz Dwyer had 25 points and 11 rebounds and Corrine Reda added 11.

Westhampton beat the Lady Tuckers 46-42 on November 28 in the season opener for both clubs despite 26 points from Dwyer. Credit Isabelle Smith, who exploded 20

points for the winners, and Lexi Miller who added 11.

Mattituck plays at Southold/ Greenport tomorrow evening at 6:15 PM. Westhampton, which is off this week, has won all three encounters thus far this season. The Lady Hurricanes beat Newfield on November 30, 49-23 with Smith and Miller once again in the forefront.

Smith tallied 12 points and recorded six steals. Miller collected a doubledouble with 10 points and 10 rebounds and also added five steals.

On Thursday, Smith tallied 18 as Westhampton knocked off Connetquot 45-29 to win the Babylon Panther Classic. Julia Magro added 13 for the winners.

The locals will compete in League V this season.
