Denim And Diamonds: Give Breast Cancer The Boot By Nicole Teitler
Saddle up, cowboys and cowgirls. Break out your boots, point your toes towards 230 Elm in Southampton Saturday night and give breast cancer the boot. The annual Denim and Diamonds roundup returns celebrating 20 years of The Ellen Hermanson Foundation. From 6 to 10 PM, folks ‘round here will put Nashville to shame with country spirit. All proceeds benefit The Ellen Hermanson Foundation, which commits itself to aiding patients and families coping with the physical and emotional struggles surrounding breast cancer. Founded in 1997, the organization followed hot on the heels
of Ellen’s Run, which celebrates its 22nd anniversary this summer. For cancer patients, the financial stress of treatment can become a burden. When fighting to survive becomes a daily battle, dollar signs have little meaning but unfortunate impact. Luckily, all services provided through the Ellen Hermanson Foundation are free of charge, Julie Ratner, organization founder and event chair reminded. “We’re very much involved in trying to ensure access to state-of-theart quality in healthcare, for the body and the mind. Which is why we work so hard to raise funds as a hospital . . . No one gets turned away because

of a lack of health insurance,” Ratner reassured. “Access to health care is not a luxury and we all deserve the very best. I feel very passionate about that and I’m sure if my sister Ellen was alive today, she’d say the same.” All the money raised through the foundation’s events -- Ellen’s Run, the summer gala, and Denim and Diamonds -- is kept within the East End community. There’s no need to leave home to get quality care. “All the money we raise stays here and gets plowed right back into the community, where the need is tremendous,” Ratner explained. Since its inception, Denim and Diamonds has become an evergrowing, diversified event, bringing together those in need, those supporting and those celebrating life. “This is our third year holding a winter event, and the second year for Denim and Diamonds,” Ratner said. “We wanted to do a fun, casual winter event where people can come out in their jeans, their hats, everything.”

Some people come in their best jeans, others come in their best diamonds, Ratner said. Expect line dancing and, if last year was any example, Ratner reckons, “Everyone will be on the dance floor.” An array of food vendors will provide the vittles and there will be spirit vendors “to raise our spirits,” Ratner said. DJ Paul Cassella will be at the turntables adding to the fun. Live and silent auctions feature such prizes as tickets to see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden, “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” a five night safari adventure in South Africa, a catered lunch in the VIP tent at the Hampton Classic horse show, and more. “The larger Hamptons is amazing,” Ratner observed. “There’s such incredible support and generosity.” Ellen Hermanson was an activist and advocate who was “an indominable warrior in the war against breast cancer.” She used her talents as a writer and journalist to give voice to the needs of breast cancer patients. She lost her battle in 1995 and her sister Julie Ratner took up the standard, organizing Ellen’s Run, and creating the foundation. Proceeds from Ellen’s Run support the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Southampton Hospital, which offers comprehensive patient-centric care. The Foundation has also funded such state-of-the-art technology as digital mammography equipment at the hospital. In 2000, the Ellen’s Well program began. It provides psychosocial support for breast cancer survivors under the leadership of a specially trained certified social worker. Saturday night’s event honors Stacy Quarty, President of Lucia’s Angels and Vice President of Coalition of Women’s Cancers. (See page 5 in this edition for a profile of Quarty.) Tickets are $125 for an individual, $75 for guests 29 and under and $250 for a benefactor. You can purchase in advance or buy at the door at the same price.

Girl Power: Celebrating East End Women
Finding Food For The Soul
By Kitty Merrill
This is the third in our annual “Girl Power” series recognizing incredible East End women during March, National Women’s History Month. Know an amazing woman? Tell us about her. Call 631-324-2500 or email news @ indyeastend.com. Stacy and Risa went sledding one day and, Stacy Quarty recounted, “We took a tumble.” Risa injured her collarbone. A lump grew and it turned out to be cancer. “She was the first person close to me to pass from cancer,” Quarty said. A college student at the time, occupied with the activities of school, Quarty lost touch with her friend as Risa’s illness progressed. Eventually she learned her friend had died. That she wasn’t able to be with her, is, admitted Quarty, “the biggest regret of my life.” Years later, she bonded with another woman, Lucia Terzi Bagan. “We were best friends. We went through our pregnancies together, it was such a special time.” One day, as she nursed her newborn baby, Lucia found a lump in her breast. “By the time she was diagnosed, it was stage four . . . she had a mastectomy, radiation, chemotherapy. It was really hard to watch her deteriorate.” Still Lucia remained strong in spirit. “She planned my 40 th birthday,” Quarty said. “But she didn’t make it, she went into the hospital and never came out.” When Lucia was first diagnosed, Quarty vowed to be there for her friend. “I wanted to be there for all the hard times, the terrible procedures. I wanted to make sure someone was with her 24 hours a day.” Testament to Lucia’s giving nature, she was surrounded by many friends and family during her final days. A strong advocate for the South Fork Breast Health Coalition, Lucia wished others could have the same kind of love and support during their final days. “She told me, “You need to take over my job . . . Lucia’s wishes became my wishes,” Quarty informed. It’s been 10 years since Quarty, a Water Mill resident, formed Lucia’s Angels. Its mission is to fill the need for care for late stage women’s cancer patients and their families. When Lucia was sick, a patient in an upisland hospital, the facility provided a special room for her guests. By contrast, visiting end of life patients in Southampton,
Quarty saw family members sitting on the floor outside hospital rooms, or sleeping in chairs. Lucia’s Room in Southampton Hospital is one of the Angels’ most beloved successes. It was conceived, designed, and built in just nine months, thanks to contributions from the local community. Businesses helped construct, furnish, and decorate a special space for families to stay while helping loved ones, many at the end of their lives, stricken with deadly cancers. Quarty has dedicated a decade of her life to helping such patients, but she hasn’t stopped learning. Last weekend, she and Suzie Roden

THE BIGGEST ASS This is old column that I’ve updated. Every word is true. I’m rushing this out today (Monday) because we have to go to press before the super-duper storm the weather forecasters are gleefully promising hits us tomorrow. If the storm turns out to be a dud (under three inches of snow), let it be known that I’m in favor of the death penalty for weather forecasters. So in my dream Dante Alighieri, the greatest Italian poet and writer, comes back to life and he gets himself a literary agent. Naturally the first assignment the agent gets him is to rewrite and update his greatest work: “La Divina Commedia.” Dante is encouraged to concentrate on the section about “The Inferno,” which depicts the suffering of those who are in hell. “ D a n n y,” s a y s h i s a g e n t , “Concentrate on the hell part of this because I can sell it as a movie. There’s a good horror flick in this and Amazon Prime will eat this up. You know, souls burning for their sins . . . no exit. Combine the horror part of it with the title ‘The Divine Comedy’ and this could be the fifth J-Lo comeback movie. Once again, Ben Stiller can be her boyfriend in hell and naturally we’ll get Bobby De Niro to play the devil.” In my dream Dante (a.k.a. Danny), who hasn’t been on earth since the day he died in 1321, comes to visit me to get my advice as to the place that best represents hell on earth in this, the year of 2017. Without a second’s hesitation I said, “LaGuardia Airport, Delta Airlines Terminal D.”
In my dream Dante and I are transported to Delta Airlines Terminal D and as we watch the thousands of lost souls milling around trying to get a boarding pass and get through security in time to catch their planes, Dante turns to me and says in a shocked voice, “This is far worse than the hell I envisioned when I wrote ‘La Divina Commedia’ in 1310. What have all these poor lost souls done to merit this kind of horrible treatment?” “They bought an airline ticket,” I answer. It was worse years ago when I tried to fly on a business trip. It was a nightmare . . . nightmare . . . a nightmare. With that I woke up and remembered the trip from hell. It was nine years ago. I was going to make a presentation for the advertising account of the British Virgin Islands on the island of Tortola. I had to catch a plane for San Juan and connect for a flight to Tortola. I missed that flight and every other flight on that trip because the airline business was totally screwed up then and is even more screwed up now. Since the flight to San Juan was at noon, I decided to leave East Hampton at 7:30 AM, giving myself plenty of time to catch my plane, or so I foolishly thought. I even stopped off at the McDonald’s in Manorville for my favorite treat, a delicious Sausage Egg McMuffin. Little was I to know that the McMuffin was to be the highlight of my trip. Now, I’m so old that I remember when getting on a plane was a pleasurable experience. I’m so old I remember when

JetBlue was a great new airline and they were doing everything right. I remember when they didn’t charge you for extra legroom or for a bag that’s one lousy ounce heavier than their bag weight limit. Next I suppose they will ask you to take out your wallet and if it weighs more than three ounces, you have to pay $10 for every extra ounce. I’m so old I remember when airlines didn’t have to tr y to screw their employees out of their pensions to stay alive. I remember back in the 1970s when American Airlines put a piano in its 747s so that you could enjoy your cross-country flight listening to some passenger whose mother paid for piano lessons so that he could impress the other passengers by playing “Melancholy Baby.” I remember when they served caviar and lobster in First Class, and they would roll a cart with filet mignon and ask you if you wanted your steak rare or perhaps medium rare. Then came deregulation. The government decided to stop fixing the prices of airline tickets. The airlines had to fend for themselves in the old-fashioned free enterprise system. Unfortunately, the airlines were filled with boobs who couldn’t figure how to survive in an unregulated world. Add to that the security concerns after 9/11, and now a trip to any airport is a trip to hell. I arrived at Kennedy airport two and a half hours before my flight. I still had to run to get on my plane in time. The airport was filled with thousands of people trying to get their boarding passes all at the same time. Only five or six clerks were there to service thousands of passengers. Since most of the flights were overseas, one woman from American Airlines was just screaming, “You must have your passport ready.” She screamed at a young man standing in front of me, “Do you have your passport ready?” “But I’m going to San Francisco,” was his confused answer. It took me one hour and 15 minutes to get a boarding pass, another 45 minutes at security, and then a dead run to my gate. So there I was, out of breath. I stumbled on board with my carry-on bags. There were more than 300 people on this thing called an Airbus — all going to Puerto Rico. It was a Sunday in May. “Why the hell would anyone want to go to Puerto Rico on a Sunday in May?” I thought to myself. So I stumbled down the aisle looking for 34A, my window seat. That’s when I spotted her. She was a woman in her early 30s. She was big. Very, very big. But it wasn’t her
IN THE NEWS
shoulders and breasts and waist that amazed me. It was her ass. Three quarters of her ass occupied seat 34B, but the other quarter of her ass was on my seat, 34A. She got out into the aisle so I could get into my seat. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her ass. Then she sat down and her ass was on my lap and hip. You must understand – I was trapped in my seat. Then I started to think, should I introduce myself? Should I comment on it? Should I say, “Miss, that’s one amazing big ass you have there. We’re going to be riding for three hours and 55 minutes and it’s clear I am going to be in constant contact with your ass, so let me tell you it is an amazing ass. It is the Godzilla of asses.” My mind was racing. Should I ignore it? Should I try to synchronize my breathing with hers for maximum comfort? There was no way to bring down the armrest because her ass was in the way. I fidgeted for five minutes under her ass and finally found my seat belt. We were about to take off when the pilot announced that the plane had a mechanical problem and we would have to wait for another plane to be brought out to take us to San Juan. Just enough time to miss our connection to Tortola. An hour and a half later I was on another plane with the same seatmate and the same ass. The flight was a nightmare. The woman, perfectly comfortable with the seating arrangement, spent the entire flight reaching into a Starbucks bag and eating cakes and buns. I was fearful that if her ass got any bigger I would be pushed out of the window and sucked out of the plane. When we were a few minutes out of San Juan I realized that I have been married to the beautiful Judy Licht for 23 years and in all those years I haven’t touched Judy’s butt for the sum total of time I was spending touching this stranger’s ass. The thought made me giggle uncontrollably and the woman stopped munching on cake to give me a dirty look. When I got off the plane I realized that I had my cell phone in my right-hand pocket that her ass was perched on. I said a thankful prayer that I hadn’t received a message during that time. My cell phone vibrated when I get a message, and if it had gone off and vibrated under her ass at any time during the flight, I might be rotting in some San Juan jail or, if she liked it, my seat mate would have picked me up and carried me off in the same way King Kong had carried off Fay Wray.

together. We’re on the phone every day and we get a lot done,” Quarty said. Caring for a cancer patient at the end of her life can be a gut-wrenching experience. “Most people don’t know how to react when somebody is sick; the first impulse is to just stay away. But you have to take that step and be there,” said Quarty. While the work can be heartbreaking at times, Quarty finds innumerable rewards, particularly in the gratitude expressed for Lucia’s Room. “We get tons of letters,” she reported. “This room, what it’s meant to families. It’s very rewarding to get that kind of feedback. The serenity and peace it’s brought to patients and families . . . It’s food for the soul.” Speaking to The Independent this week, Quarty also made note of a network of volunteers, many of them survivors, that’s evolved over the years. “It’s just a whole sisterhood. We build each other up, and the things we can accomplish when we all work together are amazing.” Quick to credit the work of others, Quarty will be getting her place in the spotlight this Saturday night, when she’s honored at the Denim and Diamonds fundraiser for the Ellen Hermanson Foundation.

Obamacare Replacement Plan Draws Criticism By Rick Murphy
Obamacare, defiled as one of the country’s worst initiatives just a year ago, has gone from being maligned to being cherished since January. Why the quick turnaround? Two words: Donald Trump. Our new president, with a GOP controlledCongress, intends to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and replace it, and that has set friend and foe alike to worrying. Of course, initial estimates about how much the American Health Care Act (dubbed Republicare) will cost, and its chances for success, vary according to which side of the political spectrum the analyst is on. Kevin Drum, writing for the leftleaning Mother Jones magazine, sees a catastrophe coming, but then again Mother Jones is against anything Trump proposes. “ We estimate that the bill would increase costs for the average enrollee by $1542, for the year, if the bill were in effect today,” Drum wrote. “The impact of the Republican bill would be particularly severe for older individuals, ages 55 to 64. Their costs would increase by $5269 if the bill went into effect today and by $6971 in 2020,” he added. Left unsaid that costs have skyrocketed under Obamacare and independent estimates see a bleak future for it, if it survives at all, especially after United Health Care and Aetna bailed out.
Independent / Courtesy paulryan.house.org
Congressman Paul Ryan, at a VFW event in Wisconsin, is the chief architect of the American Health Care Act.
An analysis of the Republican plan in the New York Times last week by Kevin Quealy and Margot Sanger-Katz concluded that many of the 20 million Americans who obtained health insurance for the first time will lose it. “Obamacare’s subsidies were structured to limit how much low and middle-income Americans could be asked to pay for health insurance,” The Times reported. “Under the GOP proposal, many of the people whose tax credits would fall sharply would be likely to end up uninsured. For people with few resources, a gap of several

thousands of dollars between their tax credit and the cost of coverage would be impossible to make up.” The Kaiser Family Foundation also concluded the GOP Plan would hit poorer Americans hard. Kaiser estimated tax subsidies for every county in the United States. “The result reveals stark contrasts in federal support, particularly for lower-income Americans,” the foundation reported. As aforesaid, most of the naysayers haven’t acknowledged the sad truth of Obamacare – the HMOs are bailing, leaving many
states with one or two providers, and more HMOs have said they will be unable to continue in the current system. Obamacare, most independent experts agree, will sputter to a halt because of its own fatal design. The entire premise of Obamacare was based on competing providers. Without competition, the system was doomed to fail anyway. Regardless, premiums have risen astronomically in some states, dramatically in some others, and significantly in most of the others. The only clear winners of the ACA were the millions of poor signees who receive federal subsidies in one form or the other. Solvent individuals who declined to purchase health care were to pay a penalty for making that choice, but the Obama administration overestimated how much revenue the penalty would provide by millions. The Republican plan would do away with the penalty altogether. The key provision of the Republican plan allows interstate competition – opening the door for HMOs to truly compete for customers, the assumption being competition will cut costs, which is exactly what proponents of the ACA hoped would happen. Stripped of the political rhetoric, the success of the GOP plan hinges on competition and relies on the open market to reel in runaway costs.

will pin the blame if the Republican health care plan goes awry. Trump told conservative groups Wednesday that, should the GOP health-care reform bill fail, he will let the Affordable Care Act (ACA) sputter
and blame Democrats,” CNBC reported Thursday. Of course CNBC has become one of the poster children for Fake News, according to Trump. It cites “unnamed sources” for the information.
Watch For Scammers
Health Care
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11. Julie Rover broke down the major difference in the two plans in a special report on National Public Radio which was published on the NPR website on March 8. The biggest changes the Republican bill would make are to the Medicaid program. Currently, Medicaid costs are shared between states and the federal government, but the funding is open-ended, so the federal government pays a percentage of whatever states spend. Obamacare uses Medicare to subsidize policies, making them affordable to low or no income recipients. “Under the proposed bill, the amount of federal funding would be capped on a per-person basis, so funding would go up as more people qualify,” the NPR reports said. “Starting in 2020, it would roll back federal funding for the ACA’s
expansion that allowed states to provide Medicaid coverage to all low-income individuals under 138 percent of the poverty level, rather than just the specific categories of poor people (children, pregnant women, elderly, disabled) who were previously eligible.” I n o t he r w o rd s , c u r r e n t l y Medicaid will pay a chunk of any plan approved by the states. After 2020, it will eliminate Medicare contributions beyond a preset limit. The result: unless the states pony up their own funds, a significant amount of people receiving subsidies will lose coverage. The critics, some of whom questioned Obamacare when it became apparent it wasn’t working as planned, are blasting Republicare with gusto, painting the ACA as the lesser of two evils. No worries. President Trump has a fall back plan. “President Donald Trump reportedly knows where he
Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco wants residents to be on alert for tax season scammers who may attempt to obtain copies of your W-2 forms, file your taxes and steal your refunds. This may happen in the form of official-sounding phone calls asking you or your employer for copies of W-2s, or through email phishing scams that ask for personal and employment-related information. If you receive such an email, report it to the Internal Revenue Service by sending a copy to phishing@irs.gov with “W-2 Scam” in the subject line. You can also call the special hotline set up by the Treasury Inspector General’s Office at 800-366-4484 or visit them online at https://www. treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report.shtml. Another common IRS scam involves phone solicitors calling people to demand money to pay for taxes. These callers can be very aggressive and typically threaten to arrest people who do not meet their demands. If you receive one of these calls, hang up immediately. If you do owe federal taxes, or think you might owe taxes, simply call the IRS at 800-829-1040. IRS workers will answer any questions. The IRS will never: • Call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill. • Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. • Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card. • Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. • Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

Gregor, Schneiderman Rift Widens By Rick Murphy
Don’t invite Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman and Town Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor to the same party. In fact, it is possible the two, both of whom had Democratic and Independence Party endorsements when they last ran for office, might not even share the same party line come November. It is the time of year when the political waters begin to churn, and would-be politicians mulling a run for public office begin to call in their chips. Gregor thinks Schneiderman, who is up for reelection, is angling to get him off the ballot, despite the fact that Gregor, when he ran for office four years ago, was a top vote getter. Gregor garnered 62 percent of the vote in 2013 running against Dave Betts, and 1358 of them came on the Independence Party line. Schneiderman won in 2015 by besting Richard Yastrzemski with 56 percent of the vote including 548 on the Independence line. Assemblyman Fred Thiele, the head of the Southampton Town Independence Party, said he is committed to Gregor. “Alex will have the Independence line, and the Conservatives like him, too.” Thiele has also heard the rumors that the Dems are looking to dump Gregor. “Obviously, if he doesn’t have a major party line he could be vulnerable,” Thiele said. “If the Republicans and Democrats agree on one candidate, he’s toast. In a three way race, anything could happen.” Gregor said he screened recently with the Democrats and said Gordon Herr, the Democratic Committee chairman, told him he faced an uphill battle getting back on the ticket because he was “disruptive” and “not a team player.” Herr, asked to comment, said Gregor “was a good campaigner and he does a good job, but he is not good at PR.”
Though the screening process is just beginning, Herr said Schneiderman and town board incumbent Julie Lofstad would almost surely earn the nod to fill the Democratic line on the ballot. “Jay has done an amazing job. He is mild, and flexible, and he calms everyone down,” he said. He was less effusive about Gregor’s chances. “If someone wants to run, we will screen them,” Herr said. Gregor smells a rat. “Jay’s been working to get me off the ballot for quite some time,” he said. The pair has been locking horns since Schneiderman took office. In January, 2016 the supervisor pushed for a $3 million grant from the state’s Community Development Block Grant Program to refurbish Dune Road, which runs along the oceanfront barrier beach, but has been stymied by Gregor’s opposition. Gregor pointed out one requirement of the grant is that it has to be used in areas where residents earn below 50 percent of the county’s median income. Gregor called Dune Road “a millionaire’s road.” Recently, the town board sent a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, asking the state to include an elevation project for Dune Road in the 400-page Fire Island to Montauk Point Reformulation Study Plan. Gregor
said he was more likely to approve a Dune Road plan that included the influx of federal funds. A prickly truce between the two evaporated when Schneiderman
seemed a bit too enthusiastic about a plan to close a portion of Shinnecock Road that ran through Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. The plan was championed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a member of the golf club. Schneiderman said he was keeping an open mind; Gregor said the supervisor was caving into pressure from the wealthy club members like Bloomberg. The rift widened even further after Schneiderman attempted to add 34 administrative workers to the town’s CSEA union agreement, joining the ranks of about 300 town union employees. Gregor balked, and because 59 of them work in the Highway Department, and Gregor had to sign off on the deal. He refused, and the two sides are Continued on Page 14.

Throne-Holst Accepts New Post Independent / Courtesy SCCNY
Anna Throne-Holst replaces Renee Lundholm as President of the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce. By Rick Murphy
Anna Throne-Holst has landed on her feet, but that was to be expected. The former three-term
Southampton Town Supervisor lost her first election ever last year when she failed to capture Lee Zeldin’s U.S. Congressional seat, setting off speculation about what her next move would be. As it turns out, it is to Manhattan. Throne-Holst was recently named President of the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce, replacing Renee Lundholm, who held the job for 33 years. Besides her obvious management and leadership skills, Throne-Holst has specific qualifications for the job. She holds a Master’s Degree from the Columbia University School of International Affairs and she speaks fluent Swedish, one of four languages she is conversant in.
LUCK
It doesn’t hurt that she was born in Oslo and raised in Stockholm, either. Throne-Holst said she is stepping away from politics for the foreseeable future. “It was a challenge I was crazy enough to enjoy but I never was or wanted to be a career politician,” she said. When she ran for the first time (for Southampton Town Board), “I only did it because people I respect and know wanted me to do it.” Having been once bitten, ThroneHolst isn’t ruling anything out. “I miss serving and trying to make politics and government work, so if it ever happens that a suitable and interesting challenge should present itself again . . .“
IN THE NEWS
The New York Chamber is the largest Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in the world with 35 employees with headquarters on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. Throne-Holst has moved to the city from Noyack. The Chamber is a leader in knowledge sharing and consulting services to Swedish businesses seeking a US presence. “I’m loving it,” Throne-Holst said of the new job.

A letter - and a $50 check - to Southampton Highway Department workers from the town’s CSEA union president riled Town Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor.
now in a legal entanglement that is getting ugly. Last week Laura Smith, the local CSEA unit union head, sent a $50 check to every highway department union employees with a succinct message: “Hard times: thanks for sticking with us.” It sent a not-too-subtle message, Gregor said, in an attempt to turn his people against him. In fact, Gregor believes Schneiderman’s goal in wanting to add more people to the union was a maneuver to earn their votes come Election Day, though it could cost taxpayers a significant amount of money down the road. Gregor called it “a giveaway.” “Alex is a pain in the ass, but a popular one and other than his fights with the town board, there is little to criticize in his performance,” Thiele said. Schneiderman did not return a call asking for comment Friday. As for the Independence Party endorsements, Thiele said Lofstad and Tommy John Schiavoni are the leading town board candidates thus far. As for the supervisor’s race, Schneiderman may have a fight on his hands if Councilwoman Christine Scalera opts to run for the top spot. Thiele said he envisions a primary battle between the two for the Independence Party line.

How To Murder Your Life By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
The Costume Institute
Independent/Courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art/BFA.com
Carrie Rebora Barratt, Rei Kawakubo, Andrew Bolton, and Anna Wintour at The Met’s Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the InBetween advance press event.
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted a press presentation on March 6 at Pavillon Vendôme in Paris, France, to reveal early details about The Costume Institute’s upcoming exhibition, Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between, opening on May 4.
Rei Kawakubo and Anna Wintour joined Museum Deputy Director Carrie Rebora Barratt and Costume Institute Curator in Charge Andrew Bolton for a glimpse of some of the ensembles to be featured in the exhibition, on view May 4 through September 4 at The Met in New York City.
How To Murder Your Life is a memoir about the life of writer Cat Marnell. Set in the glamorous world of NYC’s downtown nightclubs and fashion magazines, it’s darkly humorous and totally real. M o s t l y i t ’s a stor y of drug addiction and self-sabotage. And the story of Cat, a Condé Nast drop out, is almost as addicting as the drugs she takes. I t a l l begins with a prescription for Ritalin to treat her ADD at a New England prep school. It continues to New York, where the reader follows Cat’s amphetamine-fueled career rise and fall, and rise again. She starts her impressive resume as an intern in the beauty departments of NYLON, Teen Vogue, Glamour, and Lucky. Murder is a tale of a prescription drug addict and a “doctor shopper” who manipulates Upper East Side psychiatrists for pills, pills, and more pills. As a lonely bulimic she spends hundreds on binge foods. She starts her life in New York City as a promiscuous party girl who dances barefoot on banquets but later becomes a weepy and hallucination-prone insomniac who will take anything — anything — to fall asleep. This could include an entire box of Benedryl, which leads to hallucinations of mice inside her apartment (eek!). At twenty-six, Cat was working as an associate beauty editor at
Lucky, one of America’s top fashion magazines, while living the life of an addict. As a beauty editor at Conde Nast, a place where employees don’t come to work with split ends let alone bloody knees, she hides the fact that she hasn’t slept in days with selftanner. She spirals deeper into her addiction, overpowering her ambition, and coming to the realization that she is just too sick to continue working at the magazine. Cat later finds a different voice as a founding editor at xoJane. com where she writes honest columns about her drug addiction. Headlines include “Gonna Wash That Angel Dust Right Outta My Hair.” Even so, she is mandated by her boss to rehab yet again. The story gives the reader a large dose of cold hard truth through the eyes of a young female addict who just can’t say no. And no drug is off limits. It’s about being in one’s addiction and suffering through it, and all the highs and lows along the way. Follow Cat on her journey and the progression of her addiction, from the Condé Nast building (where she rides the elevator alongside Anna Wintour), to seedy nightclubs, abusive friendships, a suicide attempt, smoking angel dust with graffiti writers, rehabs, and metal hospitals. H o w t o M u r d e r Yo u r L i f e i s mesmerizing and brutally honest.

He Saved The World
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
One of Douglas Elliman’s top brokers, Hamptons resident, and film producer Raphael Avigdor tells the story of Stanislov Petrov, a Soviet officer who saved the world from nuclear holocaust in the award-winning docudrama film, The Man Who Saved The World. The film stars Kevin Costner with appearances by Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, and Walter Cronkite. Based on a true story, the gripping film centers around Petrov’s actions on September 26, 1983. Petrov discovered an incorrect satellite report that American missiles were headed toward the Soviet Union. Suspecting that the system was malfunctioning, he convinced his superiors to delay a counterattack until further confirmation, thus avoiding what could have been the end of life on earth. “It’s incredible to think how we have walked the world . . . not knowing that we wouldn’t have been here, if it wasn’t for Mr. Petrov’s decision,” stated

Cronkite. The film shows viewers just how close the planet came to apocalypse in this epic Cold War thriller. Petrov single-handedly prevented a nuclear war but struggled with getting his life back on track as his family fell apart and he suffered extreme grieving and loneliness. It was up to Petrov to alert his leadership to launch the counter attack that would have wiped out half of USA’s population. For years this harrowing story about the man who saved the world went untold. “I’m lucky enough to get to play heroes. I’ve often said I get to play people braver than myself. Often times what we’re portraying are men like Stanislov,” said Costner about the film. “Most of you might remember when the Cold War was at its height. The Soviet Union had just shot down a Korean jet, 260 people killed.” The film screened recently at the Gold Coast International Film Festival’s popular Douglas Elliman Film Series last week and followed with a Q & A with the films executive producers, Avigdor along with Christian D. Bruun and Mark Romeo. Sponsored by Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the Elliman Film Series offers culturally, historically, aesthetically, and artistically important films to the Long Island and Queens communities.

astrology & all Week of 3/15/17 - 3/22/17 Highlights of the week: The Sun enters Aries and the Spring Equinox arrives to herald in the new season. Jupiter, the planet of enthusiasm and good luck, in Libra is making us examine our relationships. As Jupiter is fighting with Venus in Aries (passions and impatience) some of our relationships can get interesting. Eris, the planet of Discord, meets up with Uranus, the planet of unexpected happenings, on Friday for potentially explosive revelations or actions. Be careful on St Patrick’s Day and don’t give in to cranky behavior. ARIES (3/20 - 4/20) As the Sun shines on your sign this month, you are entering a powerful time to put those plans in action. Relationships are either sublime or ridiculous. TAURUS (4/20 - 5/20) Love is everywhere and you are enjoying it.

Communications with lovers, family, and co-workers are easy and lead to renewed joy. GEMINI (5/21 - 6/22) Time to release the people or situations that are draining you? Don’t cling to outworn behaviors as they will exhaust you. New love/job is on the horizon. CANCER (6/22 - 7/22) Try to be objective when dealing with a work or home situation that needs to be revised. You can’t get what you want until you speak up. LEO (7/23 - 8/23) You can now use all your creative energy to improve your diet, your job, or your finances. If your love life is not on sizzle, time to rework that, too. VIRGO (8/24 - 9/23) Try not to pull the rug out from everyone because you are tired of your kindness not being recognized. Plan to do for yourself for a change and watch what happens.
LIBRA (9/24 - 10/22) Success is in the air and you can almost taste it. There is still work to do but rest assured you will be rewarded. Don’t lose your famous “cool.” SCORPIO (10/23 - 11/21) If you suddenly find yourself feeling very vulnerable, don’t run away to hide. Express your needs and concerns as simply as possible to clear the air. Don’t speak from anger. SAGITTARIUS (11/22 - 12/21) Any new opportunities that appear this week are to be taken, as they may lead you to something wonderful. Your love life and work situations are soon going to change for the better. CAPRICORN (12/21 - 1/20) All work and no play is very boring. Stop worrying and take the time to relax with those you love. Laughter is indeed the best medicine. AQUARIUS (1/20 - 2/19) Inspiring ideas seem to come from out of nowhere. What you are feeling is correct. Is it time to make new plans? If you do, they will lead to greater satisfaction. PISCES (2/19 - 3/20) Money and self-worth issues are on your mind.

Broadway Reporting From
(& Sometimes Off)
By Isa Goldberg
When Glenn Close created the role of Norma Desmond in the 1994 Broadway production of Sunset Boulevard, it was something of a camp Hollywood event. Her oversized gestures and vibrant voice seemed like a humorous counterpoint to the image of the fading silent film star she portrayed. Watching her now – 23 years later – there won’t be many titters in the audience. Nor is there a sweeping staircase that lands nearly center stage as there was in the original production. T h e r e i s , h o w e v e r, a m o r e believable, more vicious, more fearful and frightening Hollywood icon to
discover. And that is the present day Close, who we follow in close-up throughout most of the two acts. Beyond any ordinary vanity, Norma is the object of her own ritualistic devotion. As Close portrays her, she is a universal character, embittered by her faded glory to the point of delusion. It’s truly old age that lurks here like a hideous evil. Deftly directed by Lonnie Price at the legendary Palace Theater, this revival feels like a concert-style production – in the manner of director John Doyle – and without the glitz of a Broadway musical. Sunset is a sung through musical, after all, and in this production there aren’t

any supersized dance numbers. The orchestra takes up most of the stage. With a minimalist set (James Noonan), darkly lit as though through a smoky camera lens (Mark Henderson), the production evokes a sense of impending gloom, as in a horror movie from the ‘40s. It takes a while before we even hear a splashy upbeat Broadway tuner. Fortunately, that song, “Every movie’s a circus,” ramps up with jazzy rhythms and a chorus of Hollywood kids, hanging around at Paramount Studios. This is one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s more beautiful scores, in my opinion. Its cynical lyrics are the work of his collaborator Don Black, along with Christopher Hampton. Close’s costumes (Anthony Powell) call forth not only the Hollywood icons of the ‘40s, but also the femme fatales and villains she helped to make famous – Cruella De Vil, among them. As Norma’s love interest, Joe Gillis, Michael Xavier is a dashing tenor, and

Glenn Close as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. here he definitely wins the bathing suit contest. Shobhan Dillon, making her Broadway debut as the young woman who catches Joe’s eye, comes as a welcome relief to the vamps of old. Still, Close is in a class of her own. Hard Times In D.C. In Steve Levinson’s If I Forget, the dysfunctional American family stands at the verge of self-destruction with no safety net in sight. Billed as a comedy, it doesn’t take long before this tale, produced by the Roundabout Theatre at the Laura Pels Theatre, starts to sound like the Book of Job. Set in a white upper middle class neighborhood in Washington D.C., around 2000-20001, these are “hard times.” There is “another Bush in the White House,” and Michael (Jeremy Shamos) has just published his academic treatise, “Forgetting the Holocaust.” To his Jewish family, this is like inviting a suicide bomber to lunch. And the trustees of the university where Michael is up for tenure don’t feel too differently. To Michael’s credit, the book speaks to American chauvinism and the crisis over immigration. And it raises the question of what have we really learned from our history. Regardless, the entire family arrives at the home where they all grew up, and where their father, Lou (Larry Br yggman) is still living with the youngest of the three siblings, Sharon (Maria Dizzia). Lou can no longer take care of himself, and the family gathers to strategize. Two acts run by quickly despite the despairing nature of the material, thanks to a well-honed acting ensemble. Shamos, who has the gift of making every character look and feel like it’s just him, reveals Michael’s hypocrisy, even if the character doesn’t recognize it. Clearly, Michael, who is devoted to the life of intellect, cannot live by the values he professes. Bryggman, one of the great voices of the New York stage, portrays the aging Jewish merchant with crackling wisdom. We respect his insights, especially when

Compiled By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
The Springs Tavern Dan and Charlene DeSmet will launch The Springs Tavern this month in the location that was formerly Wolfie’s Tavern. The historic location has served the local community as a tavern, restaurant, bar, live music venue and gathering spot for over 80 years. The Springs Tavern plans to honor and perpetuate this historical role by providing its customers with a comfortable, clean, tavern environment with good food, live entertainment, and a full schedule of sports viewing. Frequented by famed abstract artists Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning in the mid 40s, the décor will pay homage to the history of the neighborhood. After a complete renovation and redesign The Springs Tavern will feature a restored original hardwood floor in the dining room with bead-board wainscoting and wood trim. A completely new oak bar provides the focal point of the tavern. Eight stateof-the-art HD and 4K televisions will feature NFL Sunday Ticket, every MLB game, and Premiere League Soccer games with a multi-zone eight-speaker sound system. Historical framed photos of Springs, East Hampton, and the previous iterations of the Tavern will dot the walls. Prints of works by Pollock and de Kooning are also featured to celebrate and acknowledge the

impact that these two artists had on the Springs neighborhood and the tavern specifically. The friendly atmosphere, casual dining menu, and flexible seating plan of The Springs Tavern will allow customers to have a range of experiences whether it’s a full sit-down dinner, a quick appetizer and drink at the bar, or an afternoon of sports. Scheduled live music, occasional karaoke, and even darts will all work together to recreate the historical role of the community tavern that has served generations of Springs residents from this location throughout the decades. The Springs Tavern will feature American pub-style fare executed by Chef Michael Ruggiero at an affordable price point with a children’s menu, in a warm and family friendly environment. Ruggiero brings his culinary experience including Nick & Toni’s, Harvest on Fort Pond, Fresno, and Montauk Lake Club. Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, the menu will feature seasonal soups, salads and appetizers with entrée selections that includes fish dishes, burgers, fries, grilled chicken, specialty sandwiches, and fries. Vegetarian and gluten free items will also be available. The Springs Tavern will be serving dinner seven days as well as a lunch menu on weekends and holidays.

The new brand launched in the summer of 2016 with its inaugural mix, Keith’s Nervous Breakdown Margarita Mix. New for 2017 are the Rum Punch Mix and Bloody Mary Mix. All mixers are made in small batches and made with only the finest ingredients including agave nectar for sweetening, not highfructose corn syrup like other brands. The mix is 90 percent juice content, non-GMO, and gluten-free. Keith's Nervous Breakdown Cocktail Mixers are available for purchase online and across Long Island and The Hamptons at retail locations. The retail cost is $16.95 per bottle. Visit www. nervousbreakdown.com for more info.

By Rick Murphy
RICK’S SPACE Stop The Presses! This is big news. Really big. No, it is not Trump-related. I don’t really get all this talk about Russia and who talked to Russian officials and when and why. The Cold War is over, folks. We won. Any elected official, or anyone for that matter, can talk to whoever, whenever. The issue, someone said to me, is that Trump and the others (Sessions and Flynn) lied about it. Wait – a politician lied? Stop it. I’m not talking about the repeal of Obamacare. I’ve had health insurance for 30 years. The premiums went up every year. I fully expect that trend to continue. It’s the American way. Frankly, I don’t mind Obamacare because it was a cool name. “Republicare” just doesn’t do it for me. I wanted to name it “Donald Death” and suggested it to the White House. Now my house is bugged, my TV is a microphone, the CIA is Googling me, and I’ve been placed in the Assigned Risk Pool. Thursday I went to the Hamptons Market like I always do on my way to work first thing in the morning - 10:30 – and there was no New York Post. Shannon the owner told me it sold out. Being the kind of investigative reporter I am . . . ok, being the lonely gossip mongerer I am, I looked it up online, and there it was. “J-Rod” was the headline, along with pictures of Alex Rodriquez and Jennifer Lopez. Oh My God! First, of course, I went through all the variations of the new name. This is like the word scramble in the NY Times Sunday magazine where if you can come up with 26 words you reach the “genius” level. Al-Lo sounds too much like a shampoo, and Al-Pez sounds like candy. Al-Jen sound like a group of reformed alcoholics so that won’t work for me. Lex-Lo which sound like a Super Villian. A-Ho has its charms. The truth is, it was downhill after “Bennifer” (Lopez and Ben Affleck) and we all have to accept that. The tabloid practice of naming celebrity couples is an art form. Most of them last for as long as the relationship, which is to say not long. We h a d To m K a t . We h a d Brangelina. We still have Kimye - for how long is anybody’s guess.
Alex is no stranger to East Enders or New Yorkers. He survived 11 tumultuous years with the Yankees, which includes a 162game suspension for illegally using controlled substances. During that time he broke up with his wife and staged a secret rendezvous in The Hamptons with Madonna at Jerry Seinfeld’s house. I suspect neither was the master of their own domain. After that he dated Kate Hudson aka Goldie-Light.
www.indyeastend.com
They made a nice couple but he moved on. A-Rod dated Cameron Diaz for a while. While I never saw him, I saw Cameron in The Hamptons many times. Once, she was standing right next to an East Hampton Village traffic control officer chatting away in a mini-skirt up to there and a revealing blouse. I am not making this up – the guy, about 20, was staring at her, his mouth ajar, while she chatted away. It’s as close as I ever want to get to another guy’s orgasm. I like J-Lo. I think basically she is a nice Catholic girl. I think she has tried really hard to make a name for herself and succeeded despite the fact that she really isn’t a good actress and she is an awful singer. Someone says she is a good dancer, but I wouldn’t know – the only dance I know is “slow.”
March 15, 2017
Someone in the office complained that she has been married too much but I think that is an attribute. I think she wants to do the honorable thing. A-Rod? Not so much. I am no stranger to name changes. When I went to St. Augustine Diocesan High School in Brooklyn with 800 other guys we made John Trojan’s life so miserable he changed his name to John Grogan. I took it upon myself to nickname him “Ultra Ribbed.” But Alan Lipschitz had the last laugh. After years of being ridiculed in the PS-92 schoolyard near my house he announced he was changing his name and then he disappeared for a month. When he came back we all gathered around him. “What’s your new name?” I asked excitedly. He paused a moment for effect and answered, “Bobby Lipschitz.”
FREE Duct Work Inspection If you can’t remember the last time your ducts were cleaned, you are probably overdue.
We recommend a detailed inspection using digital cameras. There is NO cost for the inspection. It takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
Call 631-324-0142 for an appointment. Why this is IMPORTANT to do now: Accumulated dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens can directly affect the quality of your indoor air. It’s wise to clean your ducts regularly to avoid any allergies or breathing problems that may arise. We are happy to perform the inspection for free. And should it be necessary to clean your ducts, you’ll receive a 5-percent discount if you schedule a cleaning within the next 30 days. Sincerely, Schenck Fuels Services

Editorial St. Pat’s Stats Usually we get a kick out of the stats our favorite survey website, WalletHub, provides. But this week, they tabbed New York an abysmal 80th out of the 200 best cities for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. As friends on the Emerald Isle might exclaim, “Go way outta that!” The Big Apple lost points when it came to accessibility, safety, and expense. Begrudgingly, we have to admit, that’s no blarney. The survey didn’t include Long Island’s East End. If it did, surein’ we’d get plenty props as one of the best places for locals to celebrate the wearing of the green. Last week saw revelers in Westhampton Beach, Cutchogue, and Amagansett, despite unseasonably freezing temperatures. Hardy organizers painted shamrocks in the snow and had a whale of a time. This weekend, there’s a parade in Hampton Bays and next week, it’s the Big Kahuna, the annual Friends of Erin fete in Montauk. WalletHub did provide us with a couple of statistics that got our Irish eyes smiling: Nearly 33 million people in the United States claim Irish ancestry. That’s more than the entire population of Ireland itself! The first ever St. Patrick’s Day parade began in our country in the 18th century. Some claim it started in Boston, some say New York. Wherever the parade’s origin, 56.1 percent of Americans plan to celebrate St. Pat’s on Friday (or throughout the month), with 82.5 percent of them donning green attire. Some $5.3 billion will be spent this year on the holiday, with 13 million pints of Guinness consumed worldwide. This week cabbage shipments will see a 70 percent increase, as 31.4 percent of Americans plan to cook a special dinner on Friday. (A pound of cabbage has just 109 calories, 6.5 grams of protein and less than a gram of fat, by the way.) There are 16 places named Dublin in the US. And that pot of gold leprechauns seek at the end of the rainbow? With 1000 gold coins weighing an ounce each, its market value is a cool $1.22 million. On a serious note, be sure you don’t spend the day after crying into your green beer. If you plan to imbibe, get a designated driver. Slainte!

The health of Southampton Hospital’s staff, volunteers, patients, visitors, and pet therapy dogs is critically important and joining the Perfect Earth Project is another opportunity for us to maintain a healthy environment on our campus,” said Robert Chaloner, Hospital President & CEO.

he carries on about the concentration camps. As his most devoted child, Sharon appears transparent and somewhat one-dimensional, but in Maria Dizzia’s hands she, too, emerges as a complex, unresolved character. The others, including a highly acquisitive Ellen (Tasha Lawrence), her liberal wealthy philandering husband, Howard (Gary Wilmes), and Michael’s depressed wife Holly (Kate Walsh) mesh into this tangled dystopian web. Firmly directed by Daniel Sullivan, the production is engaging, not to mention moralizing. An ingenious set by Derek McLane shows us the characters on two levels – with the bedrooms upstairs and the living areas downstairs. Indeed, there is a kind of doublespeak going on. Mamet’s Latest Victim or victimizer? In David Mamet’s new play The Penitent, off Broadway at The Atlantic Theater Company, a mass murderer, whom we never meet, is the central figure. But he’s not the one who is on trial here, anyway. It’s his psychiatrist, Charles (Chris Bauer), who becomes the object of the inquisition that surrounds the murder of
631-287TOTS 631-287-TOTS
10 innocent people. In the metaphorical sense, Charles, his wife Kath (Rebecca Pidgeon), and his attorney (Jordan Lage) count foremost among the triage. Their lives are ruined. The issue here is less about gun control, but rather about the tragedy of a society in which so much is deregulated, while so much else suffers from rigid regulation. What are we regulating or deregulating, and why? Who has the right to hold guns? What are our responsibilities as citizens? What are we free to believe and enact? Is good faith and loyalty meaningful? What is law and what is morality? While these issues emerge clearly through an intriguing plot, it would be unfair to give too much away. But the fact that Mamet is raising these questions makes us party to the inquisition, and therefore partners in the crime. This is one of his most thought-provoking plays, and the dialogue is especially rich. Capturing the rhythms of Mamet’s clipped overlapping lines of dialogue with utmost finesse, director Neil Pepe takes charge of complex relationships, peeling away at triangulation and betrayal with a formidable eye to revealing the truth. Tim Mackabee’s set design is as simple as possible, leaving us only the bare outlines of the space where these events take place. Given that they all occur in the here and now, we may simply conclude that it’s any space, all space, and perhaps a space anyone and everyone can inhabit. The acting is uniformly excellent. Bauer brings a soulful thoughtfulness to his role, which makes the talky nature of the play manageable. And if he isn’t the most honest card player in this game, it’s pretty clear that his attorney, a straight-faced Jordan Lage, isn’t either. Lawrence Gilliard Jr. as the attorney who needs to identify guilt (in the case of a mass murder, where the murderer is caught with the gun in his hand) is outrageous and totally credible. The most vulnerable and undermining character here is Kath, a role Rebecca Pidgeon embodies quite brilliantly.

Andre Franklin put on a show Southampton fans will never forget, to carry the Mariners to the State Final Four Tournament.
Mariners Go For The Gold By Rick Murphy
Only a few names are etched onto Basketball’s Eternal Wall. It is the rarest accolade, reserved for those players whose feat was so extraordinary that their performances rose above the merely spectacular to the highest level, to live on as long as fans talk about the game of basketball. Step right up, Mr. Franklin. That would be Andre Franklin, the Southampton basketball player who, on the biggest stage of his career, in the most important moments of his life, took his team on his shoulders and said, “I got this.” Southampton was playing Elmont, the Nassau County Class A champion, in a State Regional Game at Stony Brook on Sunday. The two teams lolly-gagged through a listless first period. The Mariners were ice cold, missing nine three-pointers, and when they did get a look inside
K.C. Ndefo was blocking shots away like King Kong sitting on the Empire State Building swatting planes. The unfortunate beginning left the locals on the short end of an 11-6 score and earned the players a sharp rebuke from Coach Herm Lamison. The cold shooting, and the sparse crowd, can be blamed on the brain surgeons at the NYSPHSAA, the governing body of the state tourney. They scheduled the game at 11 in the morning - keep in mind it was really 10 because of Daylight Saving Time - at Stony Brook University, a good two hour drive on icy roads for fans and the Southampton basketball team as well. Franklin, who did not even start the game, entered the fray and things changed in a hurry. After Micah Snowden converted two free throws to bring Southampton within three at the beginning of the second stanza, the Mariners

worked the ball to Franklin outside the arc. His shot found nothing but net, and the Mariners had tied the game. Victor Olawoye answered on the other end, but Franklin responded with another three-point bomb to put the locals up 14-13. Franklin then forced a tie-up on defense, and with the arrow going Southampton’s way, the Mariners attacked again, working the ball around the horn until it found the waiting hands of Franklin. He let loose from downtown immediately – swish. Elmont, the defending Nassau Class A champions, responded. After Ndefo drilled a trey the freshman Jevon Santos drove the paint in heavy traffic for a layup. The Spartans were back in business. With time running out, once again the Mariners worked the ball, this time finding Franklin in the far corner, and once again he let fly and connected with his fourth trey. Southampton was up by three at the half, 25-22. All this is not to imply the rest of the Mariners didn’t do their part to keep the opportunistic Spartans off the offensive boards. And as is usually the case, the team was spot-on from the charity strip. The Mariners opened a 10-point lead and relaxed behind a 2-3 zone. Then, it happened again. With 1:30 left on the clock in the third quarter Franklin found room from behind the three-point line and dropped home yet another bomb. With 50 seconds left he let go again, and as if it was guided by radar, the ball nestled into the net. Ndefo answered with a bucket. But
Chad Pike drilled a trey as the third quarter was about to end to make it 42-27. Franklin’s two free throws made it 50-32 when, their season on the line, the Nassau champions made one last run, and whittled down the lead, with a chance to get it to single digits as the seconds ticked off. But of course, Franklin wasn’t done. The dagger came with a minute yet to go – yes, another three-point bomb. Game, set, match, Mariners, who advance to the NY State Final Four in Binghamton. The first step: a semifinal encounter with Our Lady of Lourdes Saturday. For the nonplussed Franklin, it was all in a day’s work. “We like to shoot from beyond the arc,” he said matter-of-factly. “That’s what we do.” His day’s work: seven treys in only eight attempts en route to a game-high 29 points. It’s not the first time he’s played hero: he leads the team in scoring for the playoffs and was the vital cog in the ABCD title game as well. Ndefo had 28 points and eight blocks for the losers. The win was the fourth straight Long Island Championship for the locals, but the first in Class A. Southampton hasn’t made it to the Final Four since 1999 – until now. Aaron Krzyzewski, Timmy Alejo and Snowden combined for 31 rebounds, which kept Elmont from critical second and third shots. Alejo had 11 points for the winners, though the leading scorers are interchangeable from game to game, as are the heroes. On this day, the spotlight belonged to Dre.
