HarborFrost: Fire & Ice On The Horizon By Kitty Merrill
Lisa Field is watching the weather warily. Given the see saw temperature changes this winter -- 50 degrees one day, snow storm the next -- the President of the Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce is worried it will be too warm and melt all the ice sculptures. Ice sculptures have been an integral attraction at the chamber’s annual HarborFrost winter carnival. The event, planned for this Saturday, was conceived seven years ago. Field explained its inception: “Everybody says there’s no business in The Hamptons in January and February. We wanted to create a way to say, ‘Hey! We’re open.’” It was a big hit from the start, Field enthused. Since then, the annual winter carnival has evolved, growing and including more disparate groups each year. Take the Sag Harbor Hysterical Society. Founder Charlie Canavan
has been hosting annual culinary strolls for more than a decade. This year, he’s scheduled the Society stroll during HarborFrost. Enjoy some of the village’s best restaurants while parading through town to live music. It all starts at Baron’s Cove on West Water Street at noon. Participants are given a chef’s hat to decorate and there’s a $100 prize for the best chapeau. The $40 entry fee includes food at every stop, with a cash bar. Stops include the American Hotel, LT Burger and Il Cappuccino. Proceeds from the stroll benefit local charities. Food isn’t the only fun promised on Saturday. There’s a “frosty plunge” for hardy swimmers at 2 PM at Windmill Beach benefitting Sag Harbor Ambulance. Live music at a slew of local venues will fill the air while kids activities include glitter tattoos at the Wharf Shop and face painting at Stella & Ruby. Children can meet and greet

Well Monitoring For Westhampton Contamination On Tap By Rick Murphy
The New York State Department of Health will begin monitoring some drinking water wells in the Westhampton Beach area immediately, State Senator Ken LaValle and Assemblyman Fred Thiele announced last week. “We were contacted by the State Department of Health . . . our constituents have a right to know about the level of their exposure to PFOS,” the legislators said. The legislators will keep residents apprised of the testing details as they are made available. The chemical in question, PFOS, part of the PFC family, is prevalent in what is called “firefighting foam,” which is often used in contained places like airport hangers to suppress fires by choking off the oxygen supply. A number of drinking wells south of Gabreski Airport in Westhampton, where the 106th Air National Guard Rescue Wing is based, have tested positive and county and state authorities are developing a plan to address the issue. Grace Kelly-McGovern, a spokeswoman for the Suffolk County Department of Health, said last August, 66 private wells tested positive. New York State declared the Air National Guard 106th base at Gabreski Airport a Superfund site in September, paving the way for relief to Westhampton Beach residents whose drinking wells are contaminated. The action raised concerns about the extent and danger of the contamination. The Independent previously reported some local fire departments trained in a building at Gabreski and used the foam in some of their exercises. This has taken place for at least 10 years, one source said. But overwhelming evidence exists the PFC contamination is rampant at Air Force bases all over the country and that Air Force officials have been reluctant to test for or remediate the problem. The suppressant is used most often at airports to douse engine fires. The Air Force acknowledges water testing done in or near air bases has already shown that the chemicals spread into public drinking water systems around Willow Grove, PA, Pease in Portsmouth, NH, and a third base — Eielson, in Alaska. According to Sharon Lerner, author of The Teflon Toxin, PFCs have also been detected in the ground water at many more bases, including the Air National Guard base in Delaware, the Grissom Air Reserve Base in Indiana, and the Naval Air
Station in Fallon, Nevada. Indeed, according to a 2013 presentation by the Air Force, PFCs were found at every Air Force base that had been tested, which so far includes Randolph in Texas, Robins in Georgia, Beale and McClellan in California, Eglin in Florida, Ellsworth in South Dakota, and F.E. Warren in Wyoming. Senator Chuck Schumer (NY) and Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone have both stated the Air National Guard has agreed to fund a cleanup should one be necessary. A spokeswoman for the Westhampton-based ANG 106th said all decisions will be made on a national level but that the matter has yet to be decided. “The Air Force is evaluating a
Authorities said there is no doubt the contamination began at Grabeski Airport and are concerned it may be migrating south toward several bodies of water.

CONDOMS AND LIFE SAVERS
I’m repeating an old column, which is not as much about condoms or Life Savers as it is about just how hard it is to grow up. Read it and remember how hard it was for you to be 15 years old.
This is the story of how the sale of condoms over the counter made Life Savers the most successful and profitable candy brand of the 1950s. In 1957, when a 15- or 16-yearold boy would go into a pharmacy to purchase a box of condoms, it was the most tension-provoking, frightening purchase a young man could make. On one side were his raging hormones. On the other side was the church, the Legion of Decency (a powerful Catholic group), his family, society, censorship, and a quietly repressive political climate that sanctimonious politicians used to win votes. It was a world of shame and guilt. Naturally, in the 1950s, against all odds, the raging hormones always won and our hero went shopping for protection. Un l i k e t h e g i a n t C V S a n d Walgreen’s and Duane Reade megastores of today, pharmacies
those days were tiny stores and there was a good chance that the proprietor knew your parents on a first-name basis. So one would slink into a pharmacy when the owner was out or having dinner. Then you would go from aisle to aisle pretending that you were going to buy aspirin. Or Bengay or Vicks – any item in the store other than a box of condoms. You checked the other customers. Was it your mom’s best friend . . . a teacher from your high school . . . your local priest? With your head down, staring at the floor, you would make it to the front of the store where the condoms were kept behind the counter. You would look at the floor and mumble, “I would like a box of mumble . . . mumble . . . mumble.” A voice from behind the counter would say “WHAT?” You would then look up into the beautiful eyes of the girl from your school who sat four seats away from you in your social studies class and this was her part-time after-school job. She would greet you by name. “What would you like?” she would say in a voice so loud you knew your

A PACK OF LIFE SAVERS . . . That’s what I would like, a pack of Life Savers.” There they were, brilliantly placed near the cash register. I bought hundreds . . . thousands of packs of Life Savers. I was responsible for a full share point of their national sales. Every boy I knew from that time has the same story. No young man in the United States ever went into a store to buy Life Savers, but we all came out frustrated with a pack of Life Savers and a case of guilt. Sexual thoughts and hang-ups in Brooklyn started for a boy with his first kiss. It was the fuse that ignited the hormone tinderbox. I remember as if it were yesterday. It was summer. I was 12 years old. I was the most awkward child ever put on this earth – at the age of 12 I was close to 6 feet tall and I weighed 96 pounds. I took my date (her name was Rose) to the Kingsway Theater on Kings Highway in Brooklyn. Nervous? There wasn’t a pore in my body that wasn’t flooded. My armpits needed leaders and gutters. My body felt like it had a temperature of 106 degrees. My hands and feet felt 70 degrees colder. I was also nauseous because in preparation for this first “date,” I had brushed my teeth about 20 times and was in danger of dying from an overdose of Colgate toothpaste. Rose thought I was the strong, silent type. Actually, I couldn’t talk because I had a mouth full of Life

Savers. I had consumed two packs of Wintergreen Life Savers from the minute I had picked her up at home, so every time I let out a breath I smelled like a walking Airwick bottle. The movie was called Pagan Love Song starring Esther Williams. We sat in the balcony and I was too shy to put my arm around Rose, so I put it around her seat instead. The movie was almost two hours long and Esther Williams spent most of those two hours swimming. I spent the two hours in pain. My arm had cramped up in this awkward position and then it went to sleep. It was dead. Useless. I think I cut off the circulation and to this day I can’t throw a baseball 10 feet and I blame it all on that seat in the Kingsway Theater. At one point I realized that I couldn’t move my arm . . . I had no control over it and probably would never be able to move it again. I wondered if it would have to be amputated. This made me giggle hysterically to myself. Unfortunately, I had this thought during a love scene between Esther Williams and Howard Keel. Rose then said her first word of the afternoon to me: “Shuuuussssssh.” Finally, during the scene where Esther Williams was swimming underwater (and I think singing at the same time), I decided to try to kiss Rose. My dead right arm, which I had counted on for foreplay and balance, was useless. So I had to try to move my body and sort of lurch at the same time. It put me off-balance and, even though I was aiming for her lips, I missed and sort of kissed her on the bridge of her nose and on her right eye. She sort of summed up what my sex life was going to be like forever when she said, “Stop that. We’re going to miss the good part of the movie.” I may have been 12, but being thrown over for Esther Williams didn’t do much for my sense of self-esteem. It was then I decided to retrieve my right arm, but in order to do that I had to reach over Rose’s head with my left hand and pick up my dead right arm and swing it over her head. I didn’t do that as well as I should have. My hands were dripping wet with perspiration and I wound up dropping the arm and accidentally hitting her in the top of the head with my dead arm. “What’s wrong with you?” she said, thereby becoming the first person to ask a question that I’ve been asked many times since.

A Walk Down Memory Lane Remembering Amagansett
‘We Weren’t Related, But We Were Family’
By Kitty Merrill
Over a hundred years ago, four men made their way from Italy to Amagansett. Their hometown, Nusco, was located just outside of Naples. Scant opportunity to make money and provide for a family in the tiny town spurred the immigration. The heads of four families -- The Dellapollas, The Napillios, The DiSunnos, and The Natales -- settled in the eastern portion of downtown Amagansett, in the area along Montauk Highway from Bunker Hill Road to Bluff Road, and some of their descendants still live there today. Lucy Bennett, 85, lives in the house where she was born and Elaine Jones, 74, lives next door to the home where she grew up. Bennett’s father, Michael Natale, came to Long Island to work on the railroad at the turn of the century.
Originally the end of the line was, said Jones, “right in my back yard.” The Italians came to work on the railroad while Norwegians, including Jones’ father Andy Semp, came to the Promise Land to fish and share their net-making skills. Although members of the four families weren’t blood relatives, the neighbors acted like family. “Our parents never had a mortgage. They didn’t charge anything . . . we just shared amongst ourselves,” Jones said. If one person needed something, they’d get it or the money for it from neighbors, then barter to pay off the loan. The Norwegians bartered fish for potatoes with Polish farmers in Bridgehampton, for example. Michael Natale arrived before the First World War. When the fighting broke out, he enlisted and ser ved in Italy. When he

returned to the railroad, he was posted in Port Jefferson for a time. “That’s where I was born,” Bennett explained. But, her father was soon transferred back out east, and the long commute from Port Jeff to his new hometown came to an end. Jones was born in Southampton Hospital, but both she and Bennett noted, Supervisor Larry Cantwell
was born at home “and he was a big baby. He was 13 pounds!” Nine DiSunno children were also born at home. Recalling the famed Hurricane of 1938, she said, “It was the afternoon. My father had to carry me out of the school because of the wind. Trees were falling across Continued on Page 36.

Immigrants March: Muy Grande By Camila Tucci
A chilly day did not dismay protesters. Instead, it fired them up. Hampton Bays was the site last Thursday for the “Day Without Immigrants” protest that packed the sidewalks with community members. “Day Without Immigrants” is a nationwide protest designed to show the cultural and economic importance of immigrants to the United States.
Not only did immigrants show up to march in rallies across the country but they also stayed home from work, school, and didn’t purchase anything from stores. The local march started at the Shell Station across from Friendly’s and ended at St. Rosalie’s Church in downtown Hampton Bays. Participants numbered near 300.

Truth Without Fear
ICE Pickups Few And Far Between Hereabouts By Rick Murphy
President Trump’s Executive Order directing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to round up and deport convicted felons has sent shockwaves through the local Latino community. A rash of raids in a half-dozen cities fueled the unrest: hundreds of people were detained by government agents and face deportation (see
accompanying article). It is not as if there are many felons among us: ICE pickups here are few and far between. The net result of Trump’s policy locally, law enforcement and immigration advocates agree, is that an entire segment of the local community lives in fear – concern that agents will smash through their front door and take a loved

one away. “I know for a fact there is a lot of fear and rhetoric,” said Mike Sarlo, the East Hampton Town Police Chief. But a lot of it is fueled by misinformation. “It very rarely happens here.” Thursday, dubbed “A Day Without Immigrants,” a group of marchers numbering well over 250 gathered on Main Street in Hampton Bays,
and a number of citizens attended an East Hampton Town Board meeting to defend the immigrant population. Speaker after speaker urged the East Hampton Town Board members to assure the Latino community that the local government respects its immigrant population and will somehow act to protect them from Continued on Page 12.

Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell tried to reassure those assembled, noting the town has not and will not enter into an agreement with Homeland Security to help ferret out illegal immigrants. However, the process ICE follows when targeting convicted felons wanted for deportation has never relied on town police. Sarlo said the procedures that trigger an ICE arrest are set in place. “If an individual commits a finger printable offense, the prints are sent out. The Homeland Security Department maintains a list of convicted felons, or individuals charged with serious felonies who have fled jurisdiction. If ICE is interested they will call us,” Sarlo said. Usually, the individual in
question has to be picked up within 48 hours or transferred to the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department. “When crimes reach a certain level, it has to be dealt with regardless of the immigration status,” Cantwell noted. Minerva Perez, the Executive Director of the Organizacion LatinoAmericana (OLA), urged, “do not honor the 48 hour agreement.” But if ICE agents indicate they want an individual because he is on the felon list, East Hampton would not release that individual until ICE signs off on it. “Law enforcement depends on inter-agency cooperation,” Cantwell said. It’s the reciprocal damage that needs to be addressed, said Kathryn Szoka, the co-chair of the Progressive East End Reformers (PEER), in an interview with The Independent. Children live in fear their parents may be taken away from them.

“The ICE raids being conducted in big cities like LA and Chicago are terrorizing the entire Latino community,” Szoka said. “These raids are used to send a message, to marginalize people of color and immigrants. That’s not what we want locally.” Szoka believes the Trump administration’s ultimate goal is, “An Aryan Society.” Chief Sarlo stressed only egregious criminals need worry about ICE agents. “Look, my feeling is if it’s a convicted criminal we are not going to do anything to avoid the process. I would not put us in that position.” He said that policy holds true for U.S. citizens as well. “No one wants dangerous criminals on the street.” Speaker after speaker urged the East Hampton Town Board members to do whatever they could to calm the immigrant population. “I am here in support of OLA,” said

Southold Town Police said Richard Bosworth was driving on Peconic Bay Boulevard in Laurel at about 8:45 PM when the event occurred. Police said they ascertained he had been drinking excessively. He was additionally charged with unlawful possession of marijuana. Bosworth was held overnight for arraignment. Rude And Lewd Southampton Town Police are looking for a light skinned man driving a maroon vehicle who allegedly exposed himself to women on three separate occasions in the Hampton Bays area. In December he pulled up to a teenager walking on Graham Road and masturbated. A woman sitting in her vehicle waiting for a school bus told police the same thing happened to her on two occasions including earlier this month. The man is said to be in his 20s and has reddish-brown dreadlocks. Police are asking that anyone with additional information call the Crime Tips Hotline at 631-728-3454.

Latino Community Shaken By Executive Order
Independent / Courtesy Pew report
During the second half of the Obama administration border arrests fell significantly, as did the number of criminals deported. By Rick Murphy
The Latino community on the East End and nationwide has been shaken by President Donald Trump’s deportation policy. But it is not just convicted felons - Trump’s targets - who are fearful. For those who actually face deportation, the specter for having a family ripped apart haunts them. Many more undocumented residents fear they will get caught in the net and are unsure what to do next. The fear that somewhere on their records is something that might trigger deportation is fueled by the volatility of Trump. In addition, there is also the everpresent threat from con men and shysters who prey on the immigrant communities. Last week New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman issued an urgent fraud alert, warning immigrant communities of potential scams in light of recent reports that fraudsters have been posing as Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and demanding money and threatening deportation. Local citizens rallied in support of the immigration community at several locales Thursday. (See two related articles elsewhere in this issue.) Trump struck a chord among voters when he vowed to rid the country of felons who entered the country illegally. To be sure, a problem exists. “While some illegal-alien advocates have accused Trump of exaggerating the size of the criminal alien population, he’s quite right on this,” wrote Daniel Levine and Kristina Cooke for Reuters. According to ICE there are approximately 1.9 million
deportable criminal aliens in the country. It is able to estimate this because, since 2012, ICE has been receiving the fingerprints of everyone who is arrested or booked into a jail, and because ICE has officers screening inmates in most major correctional systems (except some of the sanctuary cities, where they are denied access to inmates). True to Trump’s claims, the group of felons includes numerous members of violent gangs and thousands of convicted drug dealers, in addition to rapists and a significant amount of murderers. The 1.9 million figure does not include nearly one million more felons who skipped out on court proceedings and vanished, though they are believed to still be in this country. The deportation logistics have gotten worse because during the second half of the Obama administration enforcement of ICE policies slackened despite protestations to the contrary, and border arrests plummeted. In 2015 there were about 337,000 border arrests, less than one-third the total in 2005 and more than 1.3 million less than in the year 2000. President Obama made a big show of focusing enforcement on criminal aliens. The targets “were felons, not families, he said, `the
worst of the worst,’” Levine and Cooke wrote. President Obama claimed to have achieved “record” deportations. But according to the Center For Immigration Studies, “The so-called record deportations were achieved by cooking the books, and the statistics were deceiving.” In a departure from past practice, ICE under Obama began counting in its annual totals the deportations of aliens arrested by the Border Patrol. That masked a big drop in the number of deportations from the interior, which is where most of the alien felons are. According to the National Review, “ICE’s estimate of convicted felons on the streets does not include those who were deported but returned; that figure is unknown. Nor does it include aliens who committed a crime but were never convicted (often because they jumped bail or were released by a
sanctuary).” As for Schneiderman fraud alert, potential victims should be aware that scammers who pose as ICE agents demand money, which would never be the case with real agents. To report potential fraud or other issues regarding immigration services, contact the Attorney General’s Immigration Services Fraud Unit Hotline at 866-390-2992 or email Civil.Rights@ag.ny.gov. The Attorney General’s office will never ask for your immigration status or share immigration information with federal authorities if you contact the Immigration Services Fraud Unit Hotline.

No License? That’s A Problem East Hampton Town Police Chief Mike Sarlo is aware that many if not most of the traffic and vehicular tickets given out locally go to members of the Latino community. One particular offense that consistently occurs is driving without a license. But until the laws change, it is a practice likely to continue. “I personally feel there should be a test to get some documentation that will enable a non-citizen to drive legally but I am not a lawmaker,” Sarlo said.
“When we pull someone over we often find multiple equipment violations,” Sarlo said. “Oftentimes, the driver doesn’t have a license.” Violators sometimes think that since they don’t have a license they can avoid prosecution by skipping the mandated court proceeding, but that is a fallacy. When those tickets are issued the violator is entered into the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) computer. Each violator is assigned an ID number. Repeaters are then flagged with a more serious charge.
Kathryn Szoka, a co-chair of the Progressive East End Reformers, agrees illegal immigrants should have some mechanism that would allow them to drive. “How can you live on the East End and not drive? They are forced to break the law.” Unfortunately in many cases the drivers simply don’t know how to drive properly and what’s worse they don’t have insurance, Sarlo pointed out. “What happens to that family an uninsured driver hits?” Sarlo asked. “The advocacy people need

to put their heads around the fact that the right procedures need to be followed.” One solution several legislators have worked on in the past is upgrading and expanding the county bus system. Town officials have talked from time to time about instituting local routes as well but have never progressed past the discussion stage. R.M.
JEWELRY REPAIR Independent / Courtesy Southampton Town
Southampton Town officials are considering building two roundabout-type structures, both on the Fresh Pond/Deerfield Road corridor, to speed up traffic. Stop signs will be replaced with yield signs.
An Apology An article in last week’s paper incorrectly stated that Julio V. Delgado, a school administrator who once worked for the Southampton School District, was “replaced” as principal of a Glen Cove elementary school last year after a relatively small amount of money he collected went missing. In fact Delgado was relieved of duties at Deasy Elementary School in Glen Cove back in 2010 and district administrators called the move a “personnel matter.” The Independent article was incorrect and we apologize for the error.

What brings us all together as a human species is to have the safety of a sense of place.” “A Sense Of Place” includes artists Philippe Cheng, Louise Eastman with Janis Stemmermann, Christopher French, Saskia Friedrich, Mar y Heilmann, Toni Ross, Bastienne Schmidt, Michelle Stuart, Edwina von Gal and the Perfect Earth Project, and Almond Zigmund.

Immigrant March Continued from page 8.
Triumphs For Dancehampton
of Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays marchers held up handmade signs and waved flags of both the United States and Mexico. Some signs read, “Keep families together,” “Immigrants make America great,” and “We love this country.” Protesters also chanted “Somos Unidos” or “We are together.” “A flyer was printed up regarding the “Day Without Immigrants” protest and it just caught like wildfire,” said Nathan Burger, a member of the Rural and Migrant Ministry. “This march is to show support for each other in this community especially in a time of fear and uncertainty.” Burger was among the 300 protesters for whom the significance of this protest follows fear prompted by looming White House policies. Edgar Ramos, 14, of Tuckahoe explained why he was marching: “Everybody needs to have their own

Participating in their first competition of the season company dancers from dancehampton in East Hampton emerged victorious. The “Beyond the Stars” contest, held at St. John the Baptist High School in West Islip, saw teams from 10 different dance studios, mostly on Long Island, compete for trophies. “Our company team has 30 dancers ages seven to 16,” studio director Kelly Hren explained. “We have three competition choreographers and teachers Krystal Lamiroult, Anita Boyer and Kate Havlicek, in addition to myself.” Dancehampton brought 23 routines including solos, duets, tri o s , s m al l gr oups an d o n e production piece to West Islip. This is dancehampton’s tenth season; the company’s been competing for about five seasons, Hren said. Dancehampton dancers received five Judges Awards, two golds, 14 high golds, and seven platinum awards. Three dancers – Mary McDonald, 16, Tori Schmitt, 15, and Taylor Duchemin, 13 -- garnered individual
invitations to Nationals. Krystal Lamiroult and her piece, “Time,” received the Ultimate Choreographer award. Lamiroult and Havlicek together received the Ultimate Entertainment award for a piece called “Crazy.” That’s not all. The company won two First Place Overall for “Time” and “Tap Army Salute.” Tap Army Salute was also the highest scoring number in all small group, large group, line or production pieces for ages ten to 12. This group of eight dancers was also invited to nationals. Five additional routines placed in the Top Ten Overall. But most exciting award came at the end, Hren reported. “Dancehampton was also given the ADCC Studio of Excellence Award! We were recognized not only for our fantastic performances, but for the amazing TEAM we are!” The company’s next competition will take place at the end of March. And in June, Hren’s taking the company to Disney World where members will dance, learn Disney choreography and march in the parade.
“If our review validates the data and report findings, we will work with local regulators to address the issue. The Air Force is committed to protecting human health and the environment. In cases where the Air Force is the source of contamination, we work with local communities to provide alternative sources of drinking water,” he added. Bottled water has since been made available to those households in the area that request it. These are among the most persistent synthetic chemicals known to man, some critics maintain. But according to Sharon Lerner, author of The Teflon Toxin, “The EPA has yet to regulate the toxic PFCs found in fire-suppressing foam, Teflon, and other products that have contaminated our drinking water.” A spokeswoman for the Suffolk County Department of Health acknowledged the Environmental Protection Agency didn’t list PFC as a contaminent to test for in drinking water wells until earlier this year. According to a study conducted by Environmental Health Perspectives, an industry journal, in animal studies PFOS can cause cancer, delays in physical development, stunted growth, endocrine disruption, and neonatal mortality; Neonatal mortality might be the most dramatic result of laboratory animal tests with PFOS.” Critics contend the federal government has dragged its feet on research into the danger the chemi-

rights. We are no different than anyone else.” The marchers were confronted by about a half dozen anti-immigration protesters holding signs that read “When they jumped the fence they broke the law” and “Give us back our jobs!” Tempers flared as one marcher got into a shouting match with the opposition. Police made sure the protesters moved along and ensured no violence broke out, quickly quelling the angry exchange. When asked why she decided to march, Cindy Hall of Mattituck said, “Because I love the Spanish people. They should be treated with respect, plus our economy relies a great deal on them.“ The countr y’s reliance on immigrants and immigrants’ reliance on the nation was emphasized throughout the entire march. Hall observed that immigrants miss their homes, but realize the great opportunity that America has to offer. “They want to live the American Dream.” cals pose to humans. They also content the “safe” levels of perfluorochemicals in humans are grossly understated. The foam manufacturer 3M said its own studies concluded their product presented no danger to humans. PFOS is used in Scotchgard, a 3M product on the market for over 40 years. “They kill laboratory rats at higher doses, and are toxic to humans, with health effects ranging from birth or developmental effects, to the brain and nervous system, immune system (including sensitization and allergies) and some forms of cancer. Once they are in the body, it takes decades to get them out,” Oecotextiles maintained in a published report. There is ample evidence to back up the claim that producers of fire retardant foam and related products and the customers who use them – the U.S. Air Force among them – have deliberately understated the dangers or hidden them altogether. According to Our Stolen Future: New Science, a book and website maintained by scientists, “The PFOS story is likely to emerge as one of the apocryphal examples of 20th century experimentation with widespread chemical exposures: prolific use and almost no testing for safety, until unexpectedly and almost serendipitously, it is discovered as a contaminant virtually everywhere. And as is often the case in these stories, the company producing PFOS products possessed information hinting at its risks but chose not to share their data with regulators or the public for years.”

RICK’S SPACE Spy Vs. Spy News Item: Russian Spy Boat Spotted Last Wednesday a Russian spy ship was spotted off the coast of Long Island just off Amagansett. Just 74 years and 182 days ago a similar intrusive enemy action occurred on the same beach. I was just a kid. In 1942 four Germans manned a rubber raft launched from a U-Boat 100 yards offshore. Their mission, said to have been conceived by Hitler himself, was to disrupt the American war effort. They had $85,000, which they blew on liquor and gambling before they were apprehended. If that is an accurate gauge, I personally have disrupted the American war effort many times over. It was summer, so the spies probably had some fun. They may have gone to Gordon’s on Main Street for Duck L’Orange, which was the best around. The thing is, though, you had to wear a jacket and tie to get in, and that was probably problematic for four guys
just getting off a submarine, plus a suit jacket doesn’t really go with swim fins. Also, all that goosestepping was scaring the other customers. This brings me to the true story of one of the top stockbrokers in the world, Rocky, who was out of Houston. I met him when I was in the biz about 20 years ago. I told him about the East End and he decided to lease a plane and fly a party of his best investors up for some shark fishing off Montauk. The pilot charged him 50 grand, and the leased boat and captain went for another five grand. It was raining, sleet and hail all day. His investors got too sick to continue. They didn’t catch a single fish. Exhausted and irritated, all the men wanted was a good meal. They hired a limo and the driver told them Gordon’s was the best restaurant on the East End. They paid the limo driver several hundred dollars and got dropped off on Amagansett Main Street.
www.indyeastend.com
When they walked into Gordon’s they were elated, marveling at the décor and the staff. But, they were told they could not dine there because they didn’t have jackets and ties. Rocky paused for a second and then he blurted out, “I just traveled 2000 miles, I’ve spent over 50 thousand effin dollars, I’m soaked to the effin bone, I haven’t eaten all day, and my clients are so miserable they are going to take all their money back from me! And you’re telling me I need an effin jacket and an effin tie?” The waiter looked at him and responded, “The Stephen Talkhouse is right down the block.“ “Do they have food?” Rocky asked. “Not in my opinion,” the waiter replied. Anyhow, the Russian ship SSV175 Viktor Leonov was spotted last week. Imagine if a couple of spies came ashore. East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell: Excuse me fellas, but you can’t park that thing out there without a permit. Say . . . you guys aren’t Russian spies, are you? Spies: (in unison) Nyet! Cantwell: Ok, cool. Just remember, no fishing without a town permit. BTW, check out the new bathroom down at the Coast Guard Station! It’s right next to the munitions hanger.

Spies: You Good man! Ruskie, no? Cantwell: I’m an East Hampton Democrat. Spies: Same difference!
Top 10 Reasons Why Russian Spy Ship Was In Amagansett 10. One word says it all: Klyph. 9. Putin told them to come pick out a summer place for him. 8. Putin likes to say, “swims with the fishes” because it make him feel like a Mafia Don. 7. Beach driving is not allowed on the stretch so they had to take a boat. 6. Montauk is too noisy. 5. Wanted to meet a real Bayman like Billy Joel. 4. Bulgaria was booked. 3. Wanted to see what a bikini looked like. 2 . H o p e d t o m e e t “ M i s s” Amagansett. 1. They wanted to take an UBER car but were told, no can do in the Land Of No. Yes folks, there are all kinds of rules in East Hampton. Just like Russia, yes? This whole episode tells us one thing: Amagansett Beach is a hotbed of spy activity and I wouldn’t be surprised if ISIS was in a control of sections of it right now. Who knows, maybe they’ll take a few Piping Plovers hostage. That’s when Trump drops the Big One.

I went to was at your mother’s house when it was for sale. He was so pleased to see and introduce me to the Forucci Sisters. My big purchase was a glass pitcher and it cost a big $2 – I still use it all the time and it brings back happy memories. Jack bought a brass oil lamp which Don Kelly of Washington St. electrified for us and it’s been in my bedroom proudly all these years. I will pass it on to my Son and his Wife. I’m so glad your Mom is still alive and hopefully might still remember Jack (John). I only met the Sisters that one time but our

National Security
Dear Editor, As a former Naval Intelligence officer, I am concerned with the Administration’s adverse impact on our national security. It appears Trump campaign aides,
including former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, contacted Russian officials during the Presidential election, and this might have compromised our democratic election process. Flynn was forced to resign because of his contact with the Russians. An organizational change imposed by Trump is the appointment of Stephen Bannon, an extremist right wing political advisor to the National Security Council (NSC). This could adversely impact military decisions and delay Continued on Page 34.

Insight
“You wrote exactly what I said!” “I may have said things I wish I hadn’t, but you never misquoted me.” Those are two treasured comments The Independent has received from interview subjects. By contrast, there have been elected officials who swore they “never said” comments attributed to them. They maintained they never said those comments, even when statements were captured on video. Sound familiar? Attempts to stifle the media aren’t new . . . and they should always, always, raise giant red flags for taxpayers. Back when The Independent was the only local news source investigating East Hampton Town finances, disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee repeatedly attempted to discredit the paper and its coverage of the fiscal crisis. He refused phone calls, refused to reply to Freedom of Information requests, and locked down the flow of information from town hall. Town workers, department heads, and even elected officials, were directed to refuse our phone calls or face the supervisor’s ire. Luckily for taxpayers, there was a handful of tipsters willing to take the risk and offer up information. Without them and our successful investigation – validated by the county district attorney and state comptroller a year later -- it’s scary to imagine just how deep East Hampton’s financial hole might have gotten. The entire investigation was sparked by McGintee’s refusal to provide information. Throughout its two-year lifespan, The Independent was persona non grata at town hall. But we persisted. We offer this blast from the not that distant past as a caution. The media, and the community, needs to be wary any time an elected official attempts to stifle the press. It didn’t end well for McGintee. Let’s make sure the attempt by the current administration in Washington to quash the news fails. Attempts to control the media nearly always bode ill. JFK said it succinctly: “No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary.”

Clooney Conservation? Dear Editor, Since the election, Democrats appears to be casting about for a rationale to explain why Hillary Clinton lost. For the most part the rationale appears to rely on cliches and stereotypes to describe those who opposed Mrs. Clinton. So it might be interesting to compare Democrats Alec Baldwin and George Clooney and their approach to a Southampton development known as The Hills located in East Quogue. The Hills is being developed by Discovery Land, an Arizona-based organization, whose executive team are Democrats. Discovery Land filed an application to create The Hills via a Planned Development District (PDD) that allows a developer to increase density, in the case of the Hills, from a subdivision of 118 homes into a complex of 118 homes, a golf course, a catering hall and an underground parking garage large enough to service a supermarket. Alec Baldwin is on record for opposing The Hills PDD. Mr. Baldwin, who identifies with the East End, effectively backs up his beliefs by contributing to East End causes and preservation. The CEO of Discovery Land described George Clooney, an investor in Discovery Land, as his “charismatic, intelligent good friend.” The Discovery Land team has promised that if Southampton allows Discovery Land to create a PDD, Discovery Land will service the 118 homes on the PDD with advanced septic systems. However, if Southampton doesn’t approve the PDD, Discovery Land will install traditional cesspools that pollute. That sounds like Discovery Land backs up its beliefs with an ultimatum.

Letters & Obit Policy The Independent publishes all letters to the editor we receive provided they are not libelous and emailed to news@indyeastend.com. We strive to print all obituaries as well but in the event we can’t, they will be published online at www.indyeastend.com. Please try to keep copy under 400 words.
Rick Murphy of The Independent has argued that Democrats lost the election because they live in a bubble, and New York Times columnist, Ross Douthat, observed that if 50 percent of the population has consistently voted Republican, then the pieties of cosmopolitan liberalism exclude too much of the population (“Who Are We?” 2/5/17). It seems to me that Democrats who threaten the environment if they don’t get their way are out of touch with a large percent of the population. In my opinion, Mr. Clooney should consider putting together a consortium of environmental activists to purchase and preserve The Hills property. He could rename The Hills the George and Amal Clooney Conservation Preserve. SUSAN CERWINSKI
Incubators For Immigrants Dear Editor, This letter is in response to the recent articles covering immigration. My grandfather Albert Joseph Bialek came to the United States from Poland {Galicia} in 1910. Per the Ellis Island website he boarded
the ship Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse in Bremen, Germany {formerly Prussia}. He had just completed his service in the Austrian Army. Poland at that time was divided into three spheres of influence by Austria, Prussia and Russia. Upon being discharged, he returned to his father’s farm. Officers from the Austrian Army made an attempt to reenlist him, but tradition dictated that he could remain at home so long as he was sorely needed on the farm. Immediately after the officers departed Albert’s father gave him his brother’s travel documents and instructed him to immigrate to the United States. His father knew that war was coming and he didn’t want to lose his son to it. It took me longer to locate my grandfather on the passenger list because I had forgotten he was traveling under the name Jan and not Albert. Given the fact that Albert entered the United States under the name Jan Bialek and later burned his immigration papers it is evident he was by definition an “illegal immigrant.” Continued on Page 37.

They were the only produce that survived. Bennett started at Amagansett grade school in first grade. “They didn’t have kindergarten back then,” she said. Both women walked to Amagansett School.

Newtown Lane. During the Second World War, Bennett’s father used ration cards to get her her first bicycle, enabling her to ride to school. She recalled having friends in the village center and playing with them after school. Her graduating class was the smallest in Amagansett’s history – just six girls and one boy. “Willar Mahar was the one boy . . . I used to tease him and still do,” the octogenarian said. At 16, she was a member of EHHS’s very first Driver’s Ed class. There was just “one policeman in the whole town of East Hampton,” the women reminisced. An officer by the name of Harry Steel doubled as the school crossing guard. “He’d do magic tricks and give us pennies to buy candy.” There was a store right across the street from St. Peter’s Church. “This highway wasn’t here,” Jones

reminded, pointing to State Route 27. Old Montauk Highway was the main highway and along the side of that was mostly farmland. The Post Office was located on the highway, and the Postmaster, Louie Neilson, “was there forever,” the women agreed. “He knew everyone. Louie would give you your mail when you walked in the door,” Jones said. And, Bennett still has the same PO Box that’s been in the family since her parents’ time. Jones’ parents – Andy and Clara – married in 1936. Bennett’s mother taught Clara how to make Italian dishes because her mother had died early. She remembered going out to Iacono Farm on Long Lane to pick dandelions for one particular dish that demonstrated, “They didn’t waste anything.” As the girls grew, there was always plenty to keep them

occupied. Bennett babysat for Jones beginning when the younger was just three weeks old. Jones recalled that every Saturday night there was a dance at the Settlement House (now known as the Neighborhood House) on Three Mile Harbor Road in East Hampton. “Otherwise, we didn’t date or go out at night. Our parents drove us to the dance, then picked us up . . . We danced to Elvis and the good old rock & roll.” For Bennett, weekend evenings were a little more low key. Once a month, teens danced at a different child’s house. The parents would chaperone and provide refreshments. Every year, Mr. DiSunno would take the cars out of his showroom and host Christmas and Halloween parties for the neighborhood kids. DiSunno Motors was located where T&V Auto now stands. It started as a repair shop and expanded to include car sales. The neighborhood was fluid, with no fences erected to keep people apart. “One day Joe DiSunno called us. He said to my mother, ‘Clara, you better come get your pig’ . . . He had a doctor there to buy a car and the pig walked right into the showroom,” Jones related. In total, the four families and their children lived in some 15 houses in the area. Lucy married Tom Bennett at 19, “and I don’t regret it,” she said. Jones married Les, her high school sweetheart. The two women were colleagues during their younger years. Bennett had a scallop business while the Joneses caught the shellfish, and opened them in a shed on Bennett’s property. “There were a lot of couples fishing in those days,” Jones said. She remembers Cathy Lester, who’d go on to be town supervisor, fishing with her Continued on Page 37.

He went on to become a very hardworking brick mason and law-abiding citizen raising 12 children with the help of his Polish wife Mary {nee Mazan} and the rest {as they say} is history. Just as Cleveland {Ohio} is a city of neighborhoods so is the United States a country of immigrants. In fact all the major cities of America {at one time} served as incubators for immigrants to not only become accustomed to the ways of this country but also to intermingle with each other {often prohibited in their native homeland}. It’s a shame that the inner cities were handed over to the absentee landlords following World War II. Just imagine how much stronger and united our country might have been had this unofficial tradition continued. Gentrification is not the answer. Preventing immigration is not the solution. Intense vetting is acceptable during these challenging times but to unfairly deny one person access to the United States makes us all orphans again. As a popular song goes, “Let me in, immigration man.” JOE BIALEK

So Far So Good For Mariners By Rick Murphy
As is often the case, Herm Lamison’s basketball team is peaking at just the right time. Southampton has won seven in a row, good enough to secure the second seed in the Suffolk County Class A tournament and the two home playoff games that come with it. Friday, in the opening playoff game, the locals made good use of their familiar surroundings, dispatching Glenn, a team that beat them earlier in the season.
IN THE NEWS
The Mariners took a six-point halftime lead before blowing out the visitors with a blistering third quarter run. Chad Pike, a streaky guard who has been on fire, led all scorers with 25 points, and proved Lamison prophetic in the process. Pike’s brother Chris is a pitcher in the Tampa Bay Rays organization. Lamison, noting the athletic bloodline, said last season, “I expect Chris to score a lot more than he’s been scoring.” Ask and ye shall receive.
With Pike bombing away from the perimeter – he had four treys – it opened the floor for the other Mariners, all of whom can do it inside the paint and out. Andre Franklin scored 21 and Aaron Krzyzewski bulled his way to 11 rebounds to go with his 12 points. Elijah Wingfield dished out for 12 buckets in addition to scoring 12 – all from beyond the three-point arc. There is no respite come playoff time, though. The Mariners were due on the court again yesterday against another tough customer, BayportBlue Point. It is a testimony to the depth of the Class A bracket that the Phantoms, 14-6 overall, are the sixth seed. They lost twice to Southampton during the regular season but hung tough in each game. A loss will end the locals’ season. The Phantoms eliminated third-seeded Amityville earlier in the week. The Class A championship game is slated for Suffolk County

Community College – Selden Friday at 7:30 PM. If the Mariners beat Glenn, they will play the winner of yesterday’s Harborfields (first seed) game against Wyandanch (fifth seed). Greenport, the top seed, eliminated the Pierson Whalers, the fourth seed in Class C, on Thursday. Pierson, in a rebuilding season did well to make the playoffs with a 6-6 League VII mark but were no match for surging Greenport, the home team (9-3 in the league and 13-8 overall) who prevailed handily 83-60. The Porters rolled behind Ahkee Anderson, a budding star who scored 27 points and dished off for 11 more buckets. Jordan Fonseca had 21 points for the winners; Jaxan Swann added 12 and Tashan Lawrence chipped in with 11. Sean Sloane and Will Martin each scored 20 for the Whalers. The Porters were upset by Stony Brook 49-35 in the finale Sunday at SCCC-Selden. Greenport won both regular season games against The Bears. This time around the swarming Bears were all over Anderson, holding him to nine points. The Bears beat Port Jefferson to advance against East Rockaway, the Nassau County Class C champion. Greenport also advances in the Suffolk tournament. The Porters were to have played Bridgehampton, the Class D champion, yesterday. The winner goes against the Class B champion Friday at SCCC-Selden, and keeps advancing up the ladder until losing or capturing the overall county title.

Lady Whalers Lose Heartbreaker By Rick Murphy
The Pierson/Bridgehampton Lady Whalers did everything right
Saturday in the Suffolk County Class C title game – except win. Playing against an exceptional Port Jefferson team at Riverhead
Local Swimmer Headed To States
High School, the locals had the Lady Royals on the ropes. That was no small task: the champions were 17-1 in League VII and beat the Lady Whalers twice this season. In fact, on February 11, Port Jefferson handed Pierson one of its worse losses in years, a 64-30 thumping in Port Jefferson. This time around, it was anyone’s game until the closing seconds, when the Lady Royals pulled out a 46-43 victory. The Lady Whalers set the tone early, matching the league champs bucket for bucket before falling behind five points at the half. In the third quarter, though, Port Jefferson, a veteran squad with five starting seniors, began to pull away behind their all-state candidate, Courtney Lewis. The gap stretched to double digits, and then 13 and then 15. It seemed like Pierson was buckling,

but not this time. Pierson came out for the fourth quarter breathing fire and went on a 9-0 run before Jillian Carlucci popped a jumper to stop the bleeding. But Pierson kept coming, and when Lewis fouled out with over a minute left, the Whalers made several key free throws. Suddenly, the win was there for the taking. Pierson was forced to foul to stop the clock, and Port Jeff’s veteran experience saved the day. Joclyn Lebron made a free throw with 16 seconds left and Corinne Scannell two more with eight ticks left to seal the victory for Port Jefferson (17-3). Playing her final game, Nia Dawson tallied 17 for the losers. Lily Kot added 15. Lewis was held to 12, but both Colucci and Scannell picked up the slack with 11 points each. Two days earlier Pierson bounced Southold-Greenport in the Class C semifinal 60-49 by scoring 22 points in the fourth quarter. Dawson went off for 25 and Katie Kneeland tallied 11.

Competing in the Suffolk County Championship Meet in Hauppauge in the final event of the day, McCormac led off the 400-yard freestyle relay with a 48.73 split time, good enough to best the qualifying time needed for a trip to the states. As a result McCormac will represent The East Hampton/Pierson/ Bridgehampton High School Varsity Swim Team in the 100 freestyle event at the New York State Championship Meet on March 3 at The Nassau County Aquatic Center.
