A General Store ‘Trapped In Amber’
By Kitty Merrill
The Springs General Store won’t just remain an iconic mom and pop store in the heart of the hamlet, it will be, according to town director of
Independent/James J. Mackin
land acquisition and management Scott Wilson, “trapped in amber.” Last Thursday night the East Hampton Town Board agreed to pay $170,000 from the Community

Preservation Fund to acquire a façade easement on the property. Wilson described the attributes of the purchase during a public hearing earlier in the evening. Located on Old Stone Highway, the 1884 general store is one of 10 19th century structures that comprise the Springs Historical District. The district was designed to maintain the relationship between farmhouses, community buildings, the store and blacksmith shop and represent the many facets of life in the thriving agrarian community during the 19th century. Historic district regulations already in place provide “some” protection, Wilson explained, but owners can always petition the town’s architecture review board for relief from the district’s strictures. The new owners of the general store have been willing to maintain historical features beyond what the law requires, he reported. Expansion will be limited, the store, gas pumps and shed can’t be removed or moved and the view of the property will remain open. Historic windows, rafters and the front porch will be maintained as

is. “You’re kind of trying to trap it in amber,” Wilson opined. Noting there are any number of iconic buildings and structures throughout East Hampton, Supervisor Larry Cantwell said the general store is “one of the most important, certainly in the hamlet of Springs.” He added, “There’s something special about being able to do what we’re doing with Community Preservation Funds to preserve this really important icon in Springs.” Turning to Councilman Fred Overton, who grew up in Springs, Cantwell asked lightheartedly whether Overton got into any trouble behind the general store when he was a child. “That’s not a question I can answer,” Overton joked back. It was “Uncle Dan’s” store when Overton was growing up. “I bought my first gallon of gas there,” he recalled, “25 cents a gallon.” Since last summer, the future of the Springs General Store, and its proprietor Kristi Hood, who both works and lives there, was gloomy for those who love stopping in daily for coffee, lunch, or to hear musicians play on the porch. Owners Jan and Michael Collins put the property up for sale, with a reported price tag of nearly $2 million for the under two acre property on Accabonac Harbor. Hood’s lease would not be renewed without an untenable rent increase. T h e n , i n Fe b r u a r y, n e w s circulated that a mysterious new owner purchased the property and ensured Hood could stay on. The town will pay $170,000 for the preservation easement.

AND THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL BE . . .
So the other night a pro-Democrat ghost showed up in my bedroom and was he pissed at me. “You have been vicious to Democrats in your last few columns,” he said, “and that must stop. Democrats are the most sensitive people on earth. And they don’t like the mean, nasty things you’re saying about Obama. Besides, it’s too close to what they’ve been saying about George W. Bush for the past 16 years. Don’t you have any new ideas?” “What if I tell them how to win the next election by reprinting an old column of mine,” I said, hiding under my bed. “Will you stop haunting me?” That’s when the ghost laughed and said, “Democrats don’t think your column is worth the puppy poo they let their pooches drop on it. But let’s see how it works . . .” Democrats are many things; stupid is not one of them. They have held on to the Oval Office for eight years. They plan to hold on to it until 2024. They have a winning formula and I’m betting when all is said and done, they will stick to it. The formula calls for their
presidential candidate to be tall, handsome, young, intelligent, articulate, a great speaker with a great voice and, oh yes, he must be black. Forget for a second that many people believe that by 2016, after eight years in office, Barack Obama – who had all those attributes when he was elected – will be challenging James Buchanan, Millard Fillmore, Warren Harding, Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter for the title of the weakest president in our nation’s history. Instead, Republicans must live with the fact that in 2016, on his last disappointing day in office, Barack Obama could run and still easily defeat any Republican challenger for the Presidency. The formula holds. Here’s how it works: A black candidate for president automatically wins 93 to 96 percent of the black vote. This is considered by liberals to be “acceptable” racism. Thus, Democrats will easily carry urban areas with large AfricanAmerican populations. This includes cities like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Newark, Cleveland, and Detroit. This edge usually adds up to a
REAL ESTATE
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Democratic victory in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, and Michigan – states with about 180 electoral votes of the 270 electoral votes needed for a victory. Next we come to Latinos. As a Republican, I must ask are there any more stupid things that Republicans can do to discourage Latinos from voting for a Republican presidential candidate? I think not. Then of course there is the union vote. Democrats own that, too. Gays? They will vote unanimously for the black candidate I’m suggesting. Liberals? Would they love another black president? You bet their bleeding hearts they would. And finally we come to Democrats. Loyal? They are the most loyal voters on earth. They will vote for a leftwing, incompetent boob like Bill de Blasio for president before they would vote for a Republican. Speaking of de Blasio, some friends in the know who shall not be identified here, report that de Blasio now believes that someday he can (God forbid) run for president. The thought of de Blasio in the White House in 2024 has me looking forward to my early death. But in 2016 I have an AfricanAmerican politician who can’t lose as the Democratic candidate for president.I give you The Honorable Cory Booker as the next President of the United States. Google Cory Booker and this is what you get: “He tried living on a ‘food stamp’ budget to raise awareness of food insecurity, shoveling the driveway of a constituent upon request, allowing Hurricane Sandy victims into his home, helping a constituent
IN THE NEWS
propose to his girlfriend, rescuing a dog from freezing temperatures, saving a woman from a house fire at his own risk.” Are Booker’s positive actions little things? Yes, but wait until you hear them dramatized night after night on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC. Booker as a U.S. Senator will have as much experience in Washington in 2016 as Obama had when he ran for the Presidency. As for Cory Booker’s record as the Mayor of Newark, you can expect a lot of front-page stories in The New York Times, starting with “The Miracle of Newark,” a four-part series that will say Newark was down and out until Booker took over as mayor. What about Hillary, you ask? Are you talking about “Benghazi Hillary?” Are you talking about “The dog ate my email server Hillary?” Are you talking about “The line forms on the left for foreign corporations who want to contribute millions to get to be favorites of me and my boy Bill, Hillary?” But most of all . . . are you talking about blacks staying home and not voting? Do you really think the Democrat powers-that-be who deserted Hillary in 2008 are ready to risk another Democrat campaign for president on a frail almost-70-year-old woman who, as the behind-the-scenes whispering will say, once the election gets rough, “may have health issues?” She has already had more concussions than the average Chicago Bears linebacker. And what about the Republican candidate? Once the Republican candidate is put through the Tea Party, conservative talk radio, and primary debate meat grinders, he will be confused, staggering, and will have to face the liberal media. Buoyed by the great success of 2012 when they accused Republicans of “Waging a war on women,” in 2016 Democrats will now float the idea of giving every 12-year-old boy a supply of free condoms every month. When the Republicans protest, they will be charged with “Waging a war on children,” causing STDs, and adding to the alarming increase in illegitimate births by 13-year-olds. “Hope and Change,” the empty promise of Barack Obama, will give way to the Booker slogan, “Power to the People.” You say you have heard “Power to the People” before? It doesn’t matter. Democrats have great confidence in the “political Alzheimer’s” of their loyal constituents. President Cory Anthony Booker. Hail to the Chief.

Is It Shovel-Ready? By Kitty Merrill
They awarded the bid for the project, but is it really ready to go? On Monday morning Congressman Lee Zeldin announced the bid for the Downtown Montauk Project was awarded to the lowest bidder, H & L Construction. The Army Corps of Engineers picked the company for the over $8 million dune stabilization work. The project has been the subject of community scrutiny for close to two years. Just about a year ago, community members were discouraged to learn federal officials decided the only fiscally prudent way to protect the downtown beachfront was the use of sandcovered geotextile bags along 3100 feet of shoreline.

program, the feds will cover the cost of the project, with East Hampton Town responsible for maintaining the installation. The project was initially slated to begin at the end of last year, with an estimated completion goal of before Memorial Weekend, 2015. That plan went off the rails, thanks to a winter storm in early December and officials voiced a new timeline, with part of the project begun this spring and a second phase commenced next fall. “Originally, this project was slated for completion before Memorial Day of 2015 before one delay after another continued to push this project back,” Congressman Zeldin said. “Since January, my office has worked very closely with the Army Corps of Engineers, the New

York State DEC, State Senator Ken LaValle, State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, and the local government led by Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell to ensure that this project remained on course to get completed without any further delay. This project is essential to the East End and I will continue to monitor the progress of this project to make sure it is completed.” In a release announcing the bid award Monday, Assemblyman Thiele stated, “The Downtown Montauk Project is essential from both the perspective of public safety and the local economy. I am pleased that this emergency project is moving forward and thank Congressman Zeldin for his efforts to get the bid awarded. Hopefully, this will be a first step toward protecting Montauk.” East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell added, “The emergency beach stabilization project is a critical first step in protecting downtown Montauk and our local economy short term. The Fire Island to Montauk Point Plan must follow quickly to provide the long term protection necessary for Montauk.” But maybe not so fast. Speaking on behalf of the Concerned Citizens of Montauk last Thursday night, Jeremy Samuelson raised concerns about moving forward with the
IN THE NEWS
most recently-reported timeline. “From our assessment, the Army Corps project for Montauk is not shovel-ready,” he said. Reminding that there’s a small window for contractors to work this spring, Samuelson said a “long list” of items that need to be in place remain unaddressed. The environmentalist questioned whether the town can solve “major” drainage and stormwater problems before the fall window. Stormwater has to have a place to go before the berm is built. Otherwise, he said, “You’re gonna be constructing a levee.” Walkways proposed by the Department of Environmental Conservation weren’t part of the original designs and Samuelson isn’t so sure the community supports them. There’s more. Staging, truck traffic, contractor access and public access need to be figured out. Samuelson noted the project, with all its traffic related to importing sand, is scheduled to occur at the same time as a major repaving of Montauk Highway on the Napeague Stretch, which could put the two projects “on a collision course.” Some issues may be smaller than others, CCOM’s spokesman allowed, “But this is the moment to look in the mirror and ask ourselves, ‘Is this really a shovel-ready project?’ . . . I submit it is not.”

Serving Seniors By Emily Toy
Southampton Town’s seniors need to eat, and to eat well. So in an effort for Southampton to take better care of its seniors, the town is looking to the powers that be at the county level to help. The town is in need of funding through the Suffolk County Office for the Aging for the Senior Nutrition Program, according to a resolution put in front of the town board last week. For several years now, the town has had an agreement with the county to provide funds to pay for nutritional services for members of the senior citizen community, with this year’s contract weighing in at close to $1 million. Sponsored by Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst, a resolution drafted on the issue was expected to be adopted yesterday as The Independent went to press. Suffolk County officials proposed an agreement to provide funding for a term of one year, which also includes an option, solely at the discretion of the county, for the agreement to be extended for two additional one-year terms, thereby running the program up until December 31, 2017. The breakdown of the money distribution covers hamlets throughout Southampton, stretching from Bridgehampton to Hampton Bays and Flanders. The contract will provide a total of $940,910 in revenue from the county to the Town of Southampton for a term retroactive from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. • $281,932 will be provided for the Congregate Program for the Bridgehampton, Hampton Bays, and Flanders Senior Centers, while $473,243 will go to the Home Delivered Meals Program for the Bridgehampton, Hampton Bays, and Flanders area. • $34,232 is slated for the Shinnecock Congregate Nutrition Program with up to $27,953 for the Shinnecock Home Delivered Meal Program. • $23,550 will also be factored in for the Moriches Home Delivered Meals Program. Expected to be put into action as of last night’s town board meeting, the contract will next be reviewed by Senior Services and Contracts Compliance prior to the supervisor signing.

Roads Too Rural, Trucks Too Many By Kitty Merrill
Three thousand trucks is way too many trucks. Last week Congressman Lee Zeldin wrote Howie Mann from the New York M e t r o p o l i t a n Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Council urging him to remove the Cross Sound Enhancement Project from the NYMTC Regional Freight Plan. It’s unwise to consider moving 3000 freight trucks a year from I-95 in Connecticut to the North Fork of Long Island, Zeldin said, the North Fork is not equipped to handle that much proposed truck traffic. “As you know, this plan calls for the diversion of 3000 trucks from I-95 in Connecticut to the most rural area of Long Island,” Zeldin wrote in a letter to Mann dated March 18. “I have some very deep concerns with the Cross Sound Enhancement Project,” Zeldin’s letter continues. “The plan is ill-advised, as it obviously fails to properly assess the North Fork’s road system,” the congressman said. Infrastructure on the North Fork “simply can’t accommodate” the 3000 trucks per year that would travel the 30 miles from Orient Point to the LIE. Attempting to do so would, Zeldin said, present a “serious safety issue” to residents in the Towns of Southold and Riverhead.

RICK’S SPACE The Baseball Column
It’s that time of year when a young man’s fancy turns to baseball. Baseball is one of the four true loves of my life, along with my wonderful wife Karen, music and quantum physics (or is it phantom physics?). Each of these pursuits have the same goal: to “score” – except for maybe, physics. The truth is I didn’t do particularly well in physics. At. St. Augustine Diocesan High School in Brooklyn, we were force fed difficult subjects early on. As a 13-year old freshman I had Biology, Algebra, French, and Latin. There was no logical reason to
study Latin at that point: it was a Catholic thing. It’s kind of like having a crawfish in New Orleans – you don’t want to bite the head off the damn thing, you just do it. By the time I was a sophomore I had moved on to Geometry, French II and Physics. Our French teacher was a Brother Raymond, who insisted we call him Frère Raimond at all times. Instead we called him Little Ray or simply The Frère. That’s because, just down the hall from the French lab was the science lab, home of the other brother

Raymond – Crazy Ray. He was big, and he was mean, and he was indeed crazy. Neither Ray spared the rod. With The Frère, we all knew that if he forced us to the breaking point we could just beat him up. One day we were in lunch hall, where we had 22 minutes to eat. The line for the food snaked around tables a good 100 feet. Thomas Raffienello dutifully waited. When it was finally his time to buy a couple burgers, The Frère, who was presumably earning bonus points from God by working the cafeteria shift, accused Raff of sneaking on line. Truthfully, this was a perfectly logical accusation. None of us could figure out how the Raff was even accepted to St. Augustine to begin with. Perhaps Raff, who at this point in his life had an unhealthy fondness for codeine-laced cough medicine, was no longer at the top of his academic

game. (He NEVER coughed, though.) A single right hand to the nose sent The Frère down with a thud. There was silence for a moment, and then everyone started cheering wildly. There was no going toe to toe with Crazy Ray. Fortunately for me, I took a liking to the one nerd in class who actually understood that sort of thing – a mere coincidence that he became my bestest friend ever. Anyway, as much as I loved physics, it always played second fiddle to baseball in my heart. When I was a kid I used to stand in front of the mirror, practicing my swing over and over, every day. (Now that I think of it, maybe I was infatuated with me.) I’m convinced I could have made the major leagues but when I was about 13 I took my eye off the ball so to speak. Put another way, I started staring at the little bumps girls have on their chests. That was the beginning of my undoing. Around the same time I began listening to music in earnest. Like most adolescents, I felt songs were written just for me, that the singer was reaching into my soul. I studied the meaning of the lyrics: “Oh Donna, oh Donna, oh-oh Donna, oh Donna . . .” Obviously, it was written about me. When I was 18, drug-induced music came to the fore. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys was “experimenting” with drugs as well – if you call getting fried out of your gourd for 40 years experimenting. Wilson was writing his masterpiece, Pet Sounds, his answer to the Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper’s Album: One song went: I tried to kick the ball but my tenny flew right off I’m red as a beet ‘cause I’m so embarrassed Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do Chomp chomp chomp chomp dodo-do do-do-do His father Murray, who managed the group, reportedly took one look at the lyrics and said, “Why don’t you write about surfing and cars anymore?” Brian answered, “It is about surfing and cars.” All this prompted me to get a guitar when I graduated from high school. My mother, who played the violin in school, would shout out encouraging tips like, “You’re flat!” and “Shut the god damn door!” My older brother said listening to me sing was “like hearing an animal being tortured to death.” I still play and sing poorly. I still love baseball, and play Fantasy Baseball religiously. I still love girls – specifically Karen, who almost has me convinced I sing well and play in tune. But I write this column with trepidation, knowing that if Crazy Ray is still alive he will hunt me down like a dog.

A Bureaucracy In Need Of An Overhaul It was amazing to watch the young Bridgehampton Killer Bees earn a record ninth New York State Basketball Championship over the weekend. It’s too bad NYSPHSAA state officials, and their local counterparts that govern Suffolk Sports, Section 11, treat our high school athletes like second class citizens while awarding themselves lavish salaries and layers of expensive bureaucracy. The kids were forced to endure a 320 mile bus ride home after Saturday night’s game – there was a time when the participants in the tournament were allowed to stay overnight win or lose and enjoy the other games and the hard earned overall experience of participating in the prestigious tournament. Hotel officials privately griped the tight purse strings extended to the accommodations. Boys – and these are big fellows – were forced to sleep two to a bed. At least six bed frames were broken over the weekend. The state officials scrimped on the food as well by capping the per diem allowed for each player. There were only one or two meals per day, depending on the time of the games.
Independent VOICES
Tough Choice
Dear Rick, Introducing the new Attorney General, A.G. Quagmire. DICHOTOMY: It’s amusing to witness the ongoing boondoggle of simply approving an Attorney General. It has been made painful due to the blind disdain (read hate) by the far Right of our President Barack Obama. Their full majority Congress has also not kept secret that neither are they cheerleaders for Eric Holder. They would prefer he were no longer Attorney General. While on the other hand they are “Just Say No” pledged, to reject anything and everything that President Obama seeks to do. In this instance it is that President Obama has put forth his choice of the person he wishes to be the next Attorney General. It is a person agreed by all as being the ultimately qualified, Loretta Lynch.
CONUNDRUM: Whom do they hate more, Eric Holder whom by not approving a new Attorney General will allow him to indefinitely retain his office or allow the installation of the indisputably accomplished Loretta Lynch thereby acquiescing to the wishes of President Barack Obama. What to do, what to do? It will be interesting to see how this stratagem plays out. In the words of William Bendix’s character Chester A. Riley in The Life Of Riley, “What a revoltin’ development this is.” NICHOLAS ZIZELIS
Major Impact Dear Editor, Of the large costs associated with attending college, one of the most infuriating to students is the high price of textbooks. College Board places the price of books and materials at between $1100 and $1200 which means an average four year
Meanwhile two or three NYSPHSAA officials were stationed in the hotel lobby at all times. Their sole function, it seemed, was to answer questions and post the results on the bulletin board. Mostly, they just sat there, reading the newspaper and sipping coffee, undoubtedly collecting reams of overtime pay. Might not that money have been better spent on single beds for each kid or decent meals? There were dozens of “suits” – state employees – at the arena. Many just milled around. Some had one or two mundane tasks, like distributing programs or directing traffic. They had a hospitality room set aside – for themselves. It was a garish display – all funded by taxpayers. Kudos to the Bridgehampton fans, who took a spectator bus up Friday, went home after the game, and got up the next day and repeated the round trips. Hats off also to the folks at the Bridgehampton Fire Department, who met the champions’ bus on its way into the hamlet, sometime after one in the morning and gave the players, coaches, and cheerleaders the escort they so richly deserved.
student could spend around $5000 over their college career on these things alone. The average graduating senior with student loans in 2014 had a debt of over $30,000. With this being the case, avoiding paying so much on textbooks would have a major impact on this number. It’s true that every aspect of paying for college has increased with tuition and fees having increased by over 500 percent since the 1980’s. But these numbers are surpassed by the over 800 percent increase in the price of textbooks. These inflating prices are a burden for students but what could help reduce the costs would be the use of open-source textbooks. These books are under an open copyright license which means they are open to modification from others. This would mean a faculty-written and peer-reviewed book which could be made available for free online or for substantially cheaper than a standard textbook for cheap. Studies show that this could save students an average of $128 per
course per semester. With students incurring so much debt over their college career, any dollar saved is meaningful. The adoption of open-source textbooks will not solve the student debt problem but will be useful in helping students deal with the costs of school. DYLAN CARROZA

JUST ASKING
IN THE NEWS
By Karen Fredericks
It’s the first day of spring and it’s snowing. Are you surprised? Joe Kaminski I’m not. But I’ll bet that Al Gore is. He’s probably upset that global warming isn’t working out for him quite the way he thought it would.
Compiled by Kitty Merrill
Robert Herzog After the winter we had nothing surprises me. I won’t be surprised if we still had more snow. I just moved back from California. When I was there I thought I missed the snow. But after this winter I don’t think I’ll ever miss it again.
Below, a collection and compilation of newsworthy info from local lawmakers and agencies.
They Make What? Don’t say ‘no’ to Assemblyman Fred Thiele. Irked that PSEG-LI has refused to release the salaries of its 18 top officials, with the claim the information is exempt from state scrutiny or public disclosure, the assemblyman announced plans this week to file legislation that will make such transparency law. If adopted, the law will empower the Long Island Office of the Department of Public Service (DPSLI) to review all compensation, including executive pay and all fees to consultants and contractors, which is paid in connection with PSEG-LI’s operations ser vices contract with the Long Island Power Authority. DPS-LI has no decisionmaking authority over electric rates but is empowered to make recommendations to LIPA about rate petitions. CPF Continues To Grow Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Fund revenues continue to increase. February’s $6.9 million is down 8.6 percent from last February’s revenue, but year to date numbers for 2015, $15.32 million, are almost five percent higher than last year at this time. East Hampton, Southold and Southampton saw overall increases while Riverhead and Shelter Island towns experienced dips in CPF
Chris Garcia This has been such a bad winter for the weather. In 17 years I’ve never seen so much snow and bad weather. I woke up and saw the snow this morning and I just shook my head. I couldn’t believe by this time it’s still snowing.
Maria Ochoa I saw the snow this morning and I thought it is a very surprising way to spend the first day of spring. I was sure the snow was over by now. This has to have been the worst winter ever.
revenue. Since its inception in 1999, the CPF has generated over $1 billion.
The Smoker You Drink On Monday County Executive Steve Bellone signed legislation requiring retailers to post warning signs about the dangers of liquid nicotine.

poisoning in the liquid. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, liquid nicotine contains powerful neurotoxins. A small spill onto the hands or other body parts of an adult, child, or household pet can cause nicotine poisoning. Furthermore, according to the National Poison Data System, the number of cases linked to liquid nicotine rose to 300 percent from 2012, and the number is expected to double this year.
Alien Invaders New York State’s ban on invasive species has gone into effect. As of March 10, it became illegal to buy, sell, or transport 126 species identified by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as invasive.

Marching Friends
Independent / Patty Sales, Peggy Stankevich, and Laura Anne Pelliccio
Fewer spectators than usual came out for the annual Friends of Erin St. Patrick’s Day parade in Montauk on Sunday. The spirit was there galore, as Grand Marshal Terry Watson, seen at top, left, with the Friends and pipers at Swallow East, led the procession. The Candied Anchor Float, a pirate ship befitting the hamlet’s maritime heritage, won first place.

Bridgehampton Killer Bees Win State Title By Rick Murphy
The Bridgehampton Killer Bees made history Saturday by capturing the New York State Class D Championship for a record ninth time. The Bees were tested twice – in the semifinal Friday, undefeated Moriah had the locals on the ropes (see accompanying story). In the final, played before a packed house at Glens Falls Civic Center, the Bees had to take out the defending champion, New York Mills, a gritty and intense squad that relies on its defense and clutch shooting. The Marauders have allowed a team to score more than 40 points only five times the entire season, and the strategy of holding onto the ball initially worked as the two teams combined for only 39 points in the first half – The Bees held a three point lead. Bridgehampton seemed content to stay back on defense and eschew its patented pressing zone. Behind the scenes, though, two veteran coaches were matching wits as if in a carefully crafted chess match. Mills’ coach Mike Adey, it turned out, had spent the better part of the day Saturday preparing for the press, as Carl Johnson, the Bees’ veteran mentor, correctly figured. Adey opened up the game with a box and one – keeping a defender on the Bees’ high scorer, Charles Manning, while the other four sat back in a zone. He switched off into a 3-2 zone after halftime though, figuring Johnson was going to counter the box and one. As has been the case throughout the playoffs Bridgehampton turned up the intensity and began to exert its will on the defending champions. Adey had hoped he Bees wouldn’t be able to shoot over his press -- the Bees were cold in the first half. But with the season on the line, the locals delivered. Matt Hostetler hoisted a threepoint attempt from the far corner – it hit the rim, bounded 10 feet in the air, and dropped in. It energized the crowd and the team. (Hostetler giddily reenacted the epic shot in the locker room after the game.) Charles Manning Jr., then Elijah Jackson, nailed treys. Meanwhile, the Bees defense began to shut down the Marauders. Tylik Furman, who asked to guard high scoring
Terrance Nichols, held him to seven points – Nichols had bombed for 25 a day earlier. Then there was six-foot Josh Lamison, one eye swollen shut, one leg taped up, vying for rebounds with players four inches taller – and continually coming down with rebounds on defense and putbacks on offense. “He’s amazing,” said assistant coach Joe Zucker of Lamison. “He couldn’t even see out of that eye. He just goes out and does it, and never complains.” Slowly, the Bees began to pull away. Early in the fourth quarter Furman, standing 25 feet from the basket at the left side of the circle, threw the ball high in the air, seemingly a misguided threepoint attempt. Manning meanwhile, standing in the right corner, slipped down the baseline and emerged from behind the basket. He went skyward, meeting the ball well above the rim with one hand and smashing it down. The packed house went berserk. New York Mills hadn’t seen the likes of this kid, ever. Adey acknowledged as much afterwards. “We gave up 31 points to one player [Manning],” he said. “We’ve never done that.” Jackson’s third three-pointer late in the fourth quarter proved the icing on the cake. Adey still had a card to play. The Bees had been terrible from the free throw line of late, and missed 12 of 22 a day earlier. Adey directed his players to foul. Johnson made sure Manning had the ball at all times. The six-three junior made seven of 10 in the final minutes. The final was a comfortable 62-49. Manning was named tournament MVP and the New York State Class D Player of the Year. In a remarkable occurrence, his father Charles Maurice “Mo” Manning earned the identical honors in 1998, the last time the Bees won the title. Mo was in attendance, and the proud father could not contain himself – the tears flowed freely. His son spoke proudly of his father. “I wanted this for him,” Charles Jr. said. “I worked so hard for this.” The Marauders simply had no answer for Manning Jr. In addition to his tournament high 31 points, he grabbed eight rebounds and had five steals. On this, the ultimate

stage, with scores of college scouts in attendance, Charles Manning Jr. etched his name alongside those of the East End’s greatest players. “He’s under all that pressure, and there he is laughing and smiling during the game,” Zucker remarked. “He’s an amazing player.” Jackson scored 11 points. Lamison, who scored 17 points and controlled the paint, joined Manning on the All Tournament
Team and voiced what everyone involved with the team is already thinking: “We’ll be back up here next year.” That’s right – every player on the team is an underclassman. The 2014-15 Bridgehampton Killer Bees are: Justin LaPointe (Fr.), Isiah Aqui (Jr.), Ameer Brunson (So.), Hostetler (Jr.), Furman (Jr.) Manning (Jr.), Jackson (So.), Kevin Feliciano (So.), Max Cheng (So.), and Lamison (Jr.)

Bees Set Records
The Bridgehampton Killer Bees won their ninth state basketball championship Saturday, the most in the state. Contrary to published reports, though, one school has won as many since the playoffs began in 1978 – Mount Vernon, which won last in 2012. Only one other school has won as many as six (Jamesville Dewitt), and only one – Peekskill -- has won five. In fact, only 22 schools have won two and more than half the high schools in the state have never won a title. Pierson (1978), Southampton (1999) and Westhampton (1998) have each won once. Carl Johnson, the Bridgehampton head coach, won his seventh state title, more than any other individual, and his fourth as a coach. He was the point guard from 1978 through 1980 when the Killer Bees won three in a row. Charles Manning Jr. was the Class D MVP. But his dad, Charles Maurice “Mo” Manning, earned that distinction three times (1996 through 1998), and Bridgehampton won the D title each of those years. Johnson was the coach. The Mannings are the only father/son team to win MVP awards. A bevy of future NBA players participated in the state tournament, held annually at Glens Falls Civic Center. They include Kenny Anderson, Ron Artest, Elton Brand, Ben Gordon, Mark Jackson, Chris Mullin, Sam Perkins, and John Wallace. The Killer Bees were the only Suffolk County team to bring a championship home this year. Incidentally, Bridgehampton is the third smallest high school in the state. To put it in perspective, the cutoff to be in Class D changes from year to year but it is typically about 200 students. Bridgehampton usually has 30 or 40 high school students, and some years every able-bodied boy was needed to just field a team.

Grueling Semifinal Game
Killer Bees Stun Undefeated Moriah completely apart. A huge and noisy contingent of Moriah fans grew sullen. The turnaround was so sudden, and so complete, that the Bees had a 20-point lead just minutes after being behind by 10 digits. The final score was 68-50: Bridgehampton scored 31 of the 40 fourth quarter points. Manning scored 29 points and recorded nine steals. Lamison turned it on down the stretch finishing with 19 points and 15 rebounds. Saturday morning Johnson had his charges dressed and ready well

The Bridgehampton Killer Bees, after falling behind early and getting thoroughly bested by Moriah for much of the game, turned in a sensational rally to blow by the state’s only undefeated Class D school. Moriah was back for another run at a title after falling short in last year’s tournament, and the Vikings meant business. Boasting a front line led by six-six Adam Jaquish and six-five Taylor Slattery, the Vikings had the height and girth to control the paint. The Bees were playing lackadaisically, falling behind by 10 points in the second quarter and 11 in the third. B e e’s c oac h Car l J o h n so n , however, had a trick up his sleeve – his unnerving three quarter zone 1-3-1 press, a devastating weapon when played correctly. “The kids wanted to use it, but I said wait.” Johnson timed it perfectly. With Moriah down to zero timeouts, and with two players on the bench with four fouls, he unleashed his swarming Bees. It was chaotic. Bridgehampton put on a stunning display of defensive intensity, going on a 17-2 run to erase the 11-point deficit and finishing off Moriah by scoring 41 of the next 52 points. It wasn’t just a display of defensive prowess – it was a display of fortitude and conditioning, as the Bees exhausted their opponents while remaining indefatigable. “They don’t get tired when they are scoring,” Johnson said afterwards. “They get tired when they are missing.” The Vikings kept falling into the trap: rather than drive through it, they would inevitably pull up their dribble and subject themselves to several ball hawking Bees. When they did penetrate the first layer of the press the Bees would race back and form another line of defense. Anchored in the paint, Josh Lamison, only six-foot tall, was the last line of defense. He would frequently spring for ward to intercept a pass, and several times took the rock coast to coast. Charles Manning Jr. was a human highlight reel -- TV cameras were literally lined up to film his interviews after the game. Again and again he would flick the ball away from the Moriah ballhandlers. Coach Brian Cross, out of timeouts, looked on in horror. The Vikings, cocky during the first half, fell
