LETTER TO OUR READERS From Ronald Perelman
am a firm believer in tradition and history, and preserving the qualities that make our community so strong. I believe a community is best served by having several local newspapers and a vibrant press, offering an array of viewpoints and perspectives. The Independent, part of the oldest family of newspapers on the East End along with the Traveler Watchman, has long stood for comprehensive coverage of local news, arts, and community activities. I have been friends with Jerry Della Femina for decades and I am thrilled that we came together to ensure The Independent can continue to operate and flourish. As the paper’s new owner, I am absolutely committed to supporting The Independent’s mission with a continued focus on covering local news and events while enhancing and expanding the paper’s focus and coverage of the vibrant local arts, culture, dining, social scene and real estate. I also believe a newspaper can serve its community in addition to

covering it. The Independent will be launching a new section that will prominently feature local community service, charity and not-for-profit work to help promote ways local residents can support our community. Our readers can look forward to a beautifully redesigned paper and website launching Memorial Day, as well as many exciting new contributors. Jim Mackin and his extraordinary team will be staying on with the paper. For my family and me, there are few places we love and cherish as much as East Hampton and the entire East End of Long Island. We have been a part of this community for more than 30 years, spending year after year, season after season, enjoying our community’s beauty, arts and culture, and most of all, all of our great friends here. We are going to preserve, invest in and grow The Independent to deliver the East End’s go-to paper, one that showcases all that we love about our community. Sincerely, Ronald Perelman

Katy’s Smile Continues To Shine By Nicole Teitler
Independent/Jessica Mackin-Cipro
The community will be out in full force when the annual Katy’s Courage 5K returns to Sag Harbor for its seventh year on Saturday. Katy’s Courage was founded in 2012 and honors Katy Stewart. Katy was a 12-year-old girl from Sag Harbor who passed away in 2010 from a rare form of pediatric liver cancer. Katy’s memory lives on through fundraisers, like the 5K, which are a testament to her passion for the outdoors. “[Katy] had a real empathy for so many other people,” Katy’s father, James Stewart, described. “She was bright, funny, and very loving.” The scenic 5K will offer attendees a flat course with some small hills. The run/walk boasts a crowd of over 1000 participants navigating the streets of Sag Harbor with stunning views the harbor. Over the past several years, the not-for-profit organization has dedicated itself to education, research, and grief support for families on the East End. This year, net proceeds will go towards local scholarships and to supporting the partnership with Katy’s Kids @
CMEE, the Children’s Museum of the East End’s Center for Grieving Children and Their Families, located in Bridgehampton. Founded in 2015, the goal of Katy’s Kids is to offer peer support opportunities for East End children, teens, and young adults who are dealing with grief and loss. The program utilizes art, poetry, music, dance, and drama in a supportive environment. Families are never charged for the Katy’s Kids services. All funding is provided through private donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations, including integral fundraisers such as Saturday’s 5K. “Her smile and her kindness have continued to shine, and her infinite courage motivated the founding of the organization,” states the Katy’s Courage website, www.katyscourage.org. Community outreach is strong. Katy’s Courage events take place throughout the year and include an annual Skate-A-Thon at Buckskill Winter Club in East Hampton. The Love Bites benefit, a multichef event held in January, joins forces with The Scarlet Fund, which provides children’s cancer research
at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in honor of Scarlett James, who battled and survived pediatric cancer. This year’s event featured celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito. The foundation also hosts the Classical Students for Katy’s Courage Benefit Concert. Scholarships are awarded to students each year who show remarkable courage, kindness, and empathy. These are the qualities Katy exhibited during her brief, yet inspirational, life. Katy’s Courage has also raised funds for pediatric cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, the hospital where Katy received treatment. The ultimate goal for Katy’s
sale items end 4/22/17
Courage is to foster kindness, happiness, and wellbeing. Those who join the 5K on Saturday can be among the many community members that are making this happen, year after year, carrying on Katy’s legacy. The event starts at 21 Water Street in Sag Harbor, rain or shine. Registration and check-in begins at 7 AM, and the race promptly starts at 8:30 AM. Advance registration costs $25 per person with day-of costs at $30. Additional reporting by Jessica Mackin-Cipro.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

Cultivating Knowledge For 120 Years By Kitty Merrill
This week, The Independent’s Walk Down Memory Lane series reaches way back to the 1890s in celebration of the Westhampton Free Library’s 120th anniversary. We’ll take a look at the history of a place, instead of a person. Do you have stories and pictures to share about the good old days on the East End? Hit us up at news@indyeastend. com or call 631-324-2500 and ask for Kitty or Rick. By the 1870s the East End began to experience a shift in demographics, as wealthy westerners took advantage of newly established rail service to Westhampton. Governor John Adams Dix bought land and built a mansion he named “Seafield” in Westhampton. In her comprehensive history of the Westhampton Beach Library, Helene Gerard described Dix as the first of what were to become many permanent summer residents. Such people represented a sophisticated, educated, and wealthy class. They fished and hunted for sport, not sustenance. They viewed education as a pleasurable, not a forced, and occasional, activity. Gerard wrote, “This combination of outside inspiration and local perseverance formed a union in the presence of a summer visitor and a local girl, when the innocent, and often-heard question, ‘What do you do here in the winter time?’ sparked the organization of the Westhampton Free Library.” In 1891, a visiting cattle dealer, W i l l i a m Wa r d e n , m e t M a r y Christine, the daughter of Edwin C. Halsey, owner of the Oneck House hotel.
Wa r d e n a s k e d t h e f a t e f u l question and planted in Mary Christine the idea of establishing a public library in Westhampton Beach. He suggested she prevail upon wealthy summer visitors for good books they didn’t mind giving away. Within weeks packing cases began to arrive. Next, Mary Christine sought the donation of a central location for the library. “A long sunny room” in what had been Stephen Fanning Griffing’s general store was the library’s first home. By 1892, Mary Christine’s father bought a building and moved it across the street from the Red Schoolhouse. That fall she and Warden married and left the area. Over time, the library fell into disuse. Organized in 1896, the Ladies Village Improvement Society took on the task of resurrecting the library, now just a darkened storefront on a bustling Main Street. T h e We s t h a m p t o n L i b r a r y Association was formed and John E. Raynor elected president. Raynor ran the Apaucuck Point House after his brother’s death in 1904. There, the future Judge Harold R. Medina was introduced to Westhampton. The introduction would prove an unparalleled benefit to the library years later. In 1897 the library opened its doors on Main Street with a charter signed by Melvin Dewey, creator of the famed Dewey Decimal System. The association decided to buy the land where the library stood for $300. By 1901 talk about constructing new edifice circulated and several ideas were floating – including the
notion of a combination library/ bowling alley. A new chapter in the library’s histor y began in 1904, when Miss Augusta Meeker was named librarian. She was determined to publicize the library and find it a substantial home. Two years
later Mrs. Ralph Cutter offered a 75 x 100 foot building lot. There was a proviso to the donation: the building had to be completed within a year and cost no less than $2500 to build. Mrs. Cutter didn’t want a shoddy structure Continued on Page 48.

IT’S ALL GOOD “We have a deal if you promise to continue to write your ‘Jerry’s Ink’ column,” said my good friend Ronald Perelman. “I promise,” I said. “Then we have a deal,” said Ron, and we warmly shook hands. Thus ended my ownership in the East Hampton Independent, and put the newspaper into the capable hands of one of this country’s top business leaders.
It’s all good. It’s good for Jim Mackin, Kitty Merrill, and Rick Murphy, who have been working at The Independent for so many years. Their future is secure and they will be working for a dynamic new leader who will make the newspaper they love bigger and better. It’s good for the people of The Hamptons who will be enjoying a great and newly revitalized

Ron Perelman always means what he says, and he has the resources, the staff, and the will to make The Independent the greatest community newspaper – not just in The Hamptons, but in the country. It’s good for the community to be represented by a strong and fair

Blazing The Tax Reduction Trail By Kitty Merrill
He’s not just the founder of his own company; Paul Henry could be called the father of an entire industry. Henr y bought his home in Greenport in 1985. “I saw the taxes going up year after year, it was killing me,” he explained. Henry went to town hall to complain and was basically shown the door. Town officials, Henry said, “Put me in business because they weren’t doing the right thing.” He was quick to note attitudes have changed and a tax grievance is now “a fundamental thing.” But back in the 1980s, nobody knew there was a grievance process. It was, Henry said, “the best kept
secret in town hall.” Henry set about learning, then implementing, the process for grieving his own property taxes. He received a 25 percent reduction. Soon, friends and neighbors wanted in, and in 1990, Henry founded Tax Reduction Services. “Not only was our business born, but an industry was born,” he pointed out. No other company did the work TRS began. Since its founding TRS has saved Long Islanders over $1 billion. It’s not a conspiracy to overcharge homeowners, Henry emphasized. Rather, over time tax rolls aren’t properly maintained. TRS and town assessors both want the same thing: an equitable assessment for property owners.
Mental Health Awareness Day Every year Southampton and East Hampton Towns collaborate to create an East End Mental Health Awareness Day. This year, organizers are changing things up by offering several different free events scheduled for the region. On Wednesday, April 26 a lecture entitled Mental Health Treatment: Then, Now, and Going Forward will be presented at 7 PM at the Southampton Town Community Center in Hampton Bays. Lucy Winer, Katherine Tollefsen, and Kristie Golden will speak. They represent a continuum of mental health treatment. For more information call 631-287-5750.

The Tax Reduction Services team.
In Suffolk County, tax grievances must be filed by the third Tuesday in May. If a homeowner is looking to grieve his taxes, the first step in the process is submitting an application to TRS. If it looks like the property has been over-assessed, TRS reps will take the homeowner through the process, “doing all the footwork,“ Henry explained. Most grievances are denied at the outset. An appeals process can ensue. TRS will review sales data in the neighborhood and if the process moves forward, argue the case in court.
If the assessment is reduced a refund could be issued or the reduction applied to the next tax bill. For example, the successful grievance of a May tax bill will show up on the subsequent December bill. TRS only makes money if the process is successful and the client gets a reduction. “We are on the same side as our clients,” Henry assured. No reduction means no fee.

Black Box = Prison Orange? By Kitty Merrill
Data from a car’s “black box” revealed important evidence in the case against Jacob Alegria. Last week the 27-year-old Southampton man was indicted by a grand jury in the February 1 crash on Hill Street in Southampton that left one woman dead and another seriously injured. “The black box in the Lexus the defendant was driving shows he hit the SUV in the oncoming lane traveling at a speed of 78.3 miles per hour – in a 25 mile per hour zone on Hill Street; more than three times the posted speed limit,” District Attorney Tom Spota said. The impact of the collision sent the victim’s SUV into a tree. The passenger in the vehicle, Charlotte M e y e r, 2 0 , w h o d a y s e a r l i e r arrived in the US to work as an au pair, died of her injuries. The driver, Luisa S. Keszler, 26, of Southampton, is recovering from serious injuries. Among other injuries, the sur viving victim suffered a fractured pelvis and a collapsed lung and had to undergo a splenectomy. Alegria allegedly drove into oncoming traffic twice that afternoon, attempting to pass slow moving westbound traffic. Prior to hitting the victims, witnesses say the defendant crossed into oncoming traffic to pass slower traffic an earlier time on Hill Street, narrowly missing a headon collision.
GALLERY
Investigators were able to ascertain the exact speed of Alegria’s Lexus by downloading data from the car’s “black box.” According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a car black box, or event data recorder, collects information from a vehicle just before and during most serious crashes. Built into a car’s airbag control module, the EDR records data about airbag deployment, vehicle speed, engine throttle, and driver safety belt use. An estimated 92 percent of new vehicles had EDRs as of 2006. EDRs in 2013 and later models are
required to record specific data in a standard format to make retrieving the information easier. Crash investigators can download data from the black box to determine factors that contribute to a crash, and also figure out who’s to blame, if necessar y. Owner consent is required, but in cases of criminal investigations, court ordered search warrants may be sought. Alegria will face charges of second-degree manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless enda nger m ent, a nd r ec kles s driving. He posted $200,000 bond and returns to court on May 4.

Night Burglary The owner of a Wading River farm apprehended a would-be burglar at 4 AM in the morning on April 5 and held him at bay until police arrived. Riverhead Town Police said David W. Liss, 43, was allegedly in the process of robbing Fink’s County Farm Stand on Middle Country Road when he tripped an alarm. Liss gave police an Aquebogue address but according to public records has also lived in Wading River. The farm’s owner was notified by an alarm company and responded to the farm while his wife summoned police. Liss faces a Class D Felony charge of Third Degree Burglary. He was transported to police headquarters and held for arraignment proceedings. Trooper Injured A New York State Trooper tried to break up a fistfight between two relatives and ended up getting injured. Westhampton Beach Village Police said the incident occurred at

the Mill Roadhouse in that village. They responded to a call and found a local man, Kevin Sabo, 26, fighting with a family member at about 1:40 PM on April 9. The two men immediately stopped fighting when police arrived, but police said Sabo became combative with a trooper who answered the call. Southampton Town and Quogue Village police departments had to be called in to help subdue Sabo, according to the Westhampton Village Police. Sabo was charged with seconddegree assault, a felony, plus resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and disorderly conduct, a violation. The State Trooper injured his hand in the fray and was taken to the Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead for treatment, authorities said. Sabo was arraigned Sunday morning in Village Justice Court and remanded to the Suffolk County Jail in Riverside before making $10,000 cash bail the following day.

Obituary Arnold T. Rosenberg, 85 A r n o l d T. R o s e n b e r g , a n American-born photographer and East Hampton resident, died at Southampton Hospital on March 21. He was 85 and had suffered a long period of deteriorating health following a stroke. Born in Philadelphia on November 29, 1931, Mr. Rosenberg went on to graduate from Penn State University. In the late 1950’s Rosenberg began his career as an assistant to photographer Irving Penn. In 1961, he opened his studio in New York City. His photographs were published widely in national and international magazines and he was a contributing photographer for the New York Times, Opera News, and New York Magazine. During this period, he did extensive work for Push Pin Studios with graphic designers Milton Glaser and Walter Bernard. His photographs appeared in numerous cookbooks for Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey. Rosenberg’s photographs of architect Marcel Breuer were on

In 1979, Rosenberg was among the first American photographers invited to travel to The Peoples Republic of China as a part of a cultural exchange between the two countries. While there, he was asked by Philippe de Montebello at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to photograph a Ming Dynasty courtyard in Suzhou that became the prototype for a replica that is on permanent exhibit at the museum. As part of the cultural exchange, he did a series of photographs of the gardens of the renowned architect I.M.Pei. Photographs of the artist Marcel Duchamp have been published in The Documents of 20th Century Art Dialogues with Marcel Duchamp. Rosenberg’s photographs of Marcel Duchamp were on exhibit at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. Arnold T.

New Yorkers Will Suffer, Experts Say
By Rick Murphy
A panel of experts warned this week that the proposed American Health Care Act would have a “catastrophic” effect on New Yorkers if it becomes law. Health care advocacy leaders and labor groups organized a call-in discussion last Wednesday, “to discuss how the Republican repeal plan would hurt millions of New Yorkers and their families.” The timing of the event coincided
with the Congressional recess – constituents were urged to contact their representatives and urge them not to repeal the Affordable Care Act in favor of the GOP proposal currently on the table. Elisabeth Benjamin, the Vice President of Health Initiatives at the Community Service Society, was one of the panelists. She said the AHCA will, “slash Medicaid to give tax breaks to the wealthy.” Benjamin received a Master of Science degree in Health
Policy and Management from Harvard School of Public Health in 1988 and a Juris Doctor degree from Columbia University School of Law in 1992. Benjamin and the other panelists stressed that the AHCA will prove particularly harmful to New York more so than almost any other state. “It’s worse for New Yorkers. Up to 2.7 million people will lose coverage,” Benjamin said. “Cuts [mandated] in the Republican plan would destabilize rural hospitals

and restrict access to the most vulnerable [patients],” warned Helen Schaub, the New York State Director of Policy and Legislation at 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East. The discussion was clearly partisan. Ethan Rome, the host, set the tone in his introduction. He accused Republicans of “slashing Medicaid” though spending has ballooned under Obamacare and GOP leaders say they are seeking to restore it to pre-ACA levels. The organizers of the roundtable said in a press release that, “Some GOP members of Congress claim that the state’s protections mean that repealing the ACA won’t affect New Yorkers.”

Billions of Dollars The Collins-Faso Amendment specifically would cost New York State billions of dollars in Medicaid funding that supports quality health care for New York’s most vulnerable residents, said Richard Kirsch, one of the panelists. Kirsch, an Institute Fellow at the Nelson Rockefeller Institute of Government and a Senior Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute, said the proposed Collins-Faso amendment, “will cost New York $2.3 billion.” The Amendment would trigger a $2.3 billion Medicaid cut, while also cutting funding for nursing homes, Continued on Page 42.

put her license to practice law in jeopardy. Cahill’s husband, Marvin Hyman, is now deceased. The case garnered its share of media attention – Cahill had deep ties to the town’s Democratic Party and at one point the matter became a campaign issue. Critics claimed Hyman obtained a number of significant rulings from the East Hampton Town Board and the town planning Board, which were both controlled by Democrats. The genesis of the original deal dates back to 2003. Hyman approached Nelson Gerard with an enticing proposition – put up $2 million for the purchase of a 9.6acre parcel on Green Holllow Road dubbed Buckskill Farm and make a huge return on his investment. According to court records Hyman, who kicked in $300,000 of the purchase price, bragged that he would use “his connections” to get subdivision approval. The lots created would then be sold, and Hyman and Gerard would divvy up the profits.
Used His Clout Hyman used his clout several ways. He pushed the subdivision application through the planning process – the planning board was chaired by a Democrat, Brad Loewen in 2003 (he served on the town board the following year) and the co-chair was Sylvia Overby, another Democrat who is currently on the town board. Hyman also finagled to keep the parcel out of a proposed upzoning,
REAL ESTATE
THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman
and even got the town board to ease clearing restrictions on the wooded lots within the subdivision he ultimately acquired – an unheard of accommodation. Hyman carved four buildable lots out of the parcel – worth as much as $1 million each, according to a real estate agent marketing the properties – on the south boundary of the lot. But Hyman wasn’t done dealing. Much of the remaining 6.8 acre parcel had been a working farm at some point in its past, which meant strict restrictions were in place to keep it from being developed. Nevertheless, the town agreed to buy the land from Hyman for only about $300,000 less than the entire 9.6 acre parcel cost. Critics say the town’s purchase of the farm was a carefully orchestrated charade.
Ridiculous Deal “It was a ridiculous deal,” recalled John Lycke, a planning board member at the time. “It was obvious we didn’t need to buy it.” Lycke said the town could have simply upzoned the parcel, as it was scheduled to do, and limit development to three lots. Or, the town, which has a history of buying up property that was once the old Dune Alpine farm, could have simply brought the whole parcel a year earlier instead of allowing Gerard and Hyman to purchase it. Instead the town paid $1.9
www.indyeastend.com
million on October 17, 2004, but for only 6.8 acres. However, rather than split the money with Gerard, Hyman cut a check for the full amount to Buckskill Farm LLC, a company he controlled. He then wrote another check for that amount and deposited it in a joint account he shared with Cahill. Hyman subsequently died – court papers reveal he knew he was dying of prostate cancer at the time of the deal. Gerard sued to recover an equitable share of the profits from the deal and entered into a protracted eight-year legal battle with Cahill. In 2007 Cahill asserted her “spousal privilege” and declined to answer questions about the deal. L a t e r, s h e r e v e r s e d f i e l d . Gerard’s attorney, Jeffrey Stark of the Uniondale firm Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo, Cohn, and Terrana, argued ‘adverse influence’ should be taken against Cahill - that in essence allows the court to assume her answers would have been prejudicial to her if she declined to testify.
Less Than Forthright According to the Code of Judicial Conduct a sitting judge has the “duty to be informed. A judge shall use reasonable efforts to keep informed about the judge’s personal and fiduciary economic interests, and make reasonable effort to keep informed about the
April 19, 2017
personal economic interests of the judge’s spouse . . .” Yet Cahill, when she was finally deposed, was less than forthright, according to court records. Justice Paul J. Baisley Jr. said as much in his 2014 ruling. Given her standing as a lawyer and a sitting judge, “Cahill’s professed ignorance as to matters fully within the comprehension of any lawyer or judge is not credible.” Baisley ruled Hyman executed the deal with the town to sell the farm for Community Preservation Fund money without Gerard’s knowledge or approval. H y m a n , “d e l i b e r a t e l y a n d stealthily carried out his plan to spirit away the proceeds of the sale out from under the nose of his partner,” the court ruled. Baisley also opined “Hyman [also an attorney] committed acts which raise serious ethical questions.” Cahill could face disbarment proceedings based on Baisley’s onthe-record criticism. Baisley ruled in 2014 Cahill had to repay the money plus interest to Gerard. Another appeal and other legal maneuvers were undertaken. The clock struck m i d n i g h t T h u r s d a y, w h e n Aprilanne Agostino, the Clerk of the Court, released the judgment from two appeals heard on February 16. Once again, the court reiterated, the court specifically found that Cahill’s testimony “was not credible.”

Independent Opinion
Levy Blames Gang Violence On Obama Former Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy called upon federal, state, and county authorities to employ the most aggressive measures available to tackle the recent outbreak of murder and violence perpetrated in Islip Town by members of the MS-13 gang. His statement was issued in response to the grisly unearthing of four bodies in Central Islip Thursday. The deceased, all teenagers, are believed to be victims of the MS-13 gang. Levy blasted follow up stories and editorials in the media that, while decrying the violence, ignored “the elephant in the room:” the fact that the violence in Suffolk coincided
with the influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America. One article cited individuals blaming President Donald Trump for the violence, though it was the Obama Administration that opened the floodgates for unvetted illegal immigrant MS-13 members to enter the US and remain here, Levy said. “While one editorial casually mentioned the immigration connection, it made no mention of the need to remove these violent individuals here illegally,” Levy wrote in a release distributed Friday. “A d v o c a t e s s u p p o r t i n g enforcement of our immigration laws warned that President Obama’s initiative encouraging
unaccompanied youth to flood our borders would have drastic consequences, and they have.” The problems in Brentwood and Central Islip were exacerbated by county policy that broke off cooperation with the FBI and signaled it would be less cooperative with the feds in enforcing detainers to deport violent illegal aliens. “Thankfully, that policy has been reversed, but the damage was done,” Levy said. The former county executive suggested a number of steps be taken to curtail the gang-related violence. “It is time to stop the political correctness and rid our streets of

those here illegally and killing our youth,” he said. It is long past time to undertake three steps, Levy said. They are: 1. Share with federal authorities the names of all MS-13 members either presently or previously incarcerated with the intent of having them deported if they are here illegally. 2. Encourage Congress to support Kate’s Law, which would impose mandatory jail sentences for deported violent illegal aliens who sneak back into the country. 3. Create a state authorized Gang Registry, which would ban individuals convicted of gang activity from associating with other known gang members (similar to such acts related to members of organized crime). Levy said failure to identify the source of the problem has resulted in inertia. “Before you can solve a problem, you first must correctly identify the cause of the problem. Continuing to ignore the link between these recent murders and our lax immigration laws is suicidal,” he wrote. Steve Bellone, the current Suffolk County Executive, said, in reaction to the murders, “I am outraged to learn of the homicides in Central Islip. These heinous acts will not go unpunished and our communities will not be intimidated by such cowardly violence. “I have full confidence that the outstanding men and women of the Suffolk County Police Department under the leadership of Commissioner Tim Sini and Chief Stuart Cameron will do what is necessary to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice. “On behalf of all Suffolk County residents, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families, friends, and loved ones during this difficult period.” Submitted by Steve Levy, President of Common Sense Strategies, a political consulting firm. He served as Suffolk County Executive, as a NYS Assemblyman, and host of “The Steve Levy Radio Show.”

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: The Bad Boy Story By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
No Kid Hungry Taste Of The Nation
No child should go hungr y in America, but one in six children face hunger each year. New York City’s Taste of the Nation for No Kid Hungry is making a difference. The signature tasting event featuring NYC’s best chefs, sommeliers, and mixologists, takes place Monday on the East River Waterfront at 180 Maiden Lane. The event is led by Honorar y Chair Danny Meyer of Union Square Hospitality Group along with Culinary Co-Chairs Anita Lo of Annisa and Bryce Schuman of Betony, and Host Committee members Eli Sussman of Samesa, Chris Jaeckle of Uma Temakeria, William Elliot of Maison Premiere and Sauvage, Jack Logue of Betony, Flynn McGarry of Eureka, and Oskar Kostecki of Union Square Wines. United for a cause, these and other culinary tastemakers lend their talent and time to ensure a future where every child in this country gets the healthy food they need, every day. One hundred percent of proceeds from the event benefit No Kid Hungry’s work to end childhood hunger in America. This year’s Taste of the Nation will feature over 40 of the city’s most popular eateries, offering guests bitesize fare, craft cocktails, and delectable desserts. Participating restaurants and bars include Lalito, Union Square Cafe, Atoboy, Massoni, Pig Bleecker, Dead Rabbit, Black Tail, Pig & Khao, and Daily Provisions, among others. Twenty-two percent of children in
New York struggle with hunger. No Kid Hungry aims to end this problem by ensuring that kids start the day with a nutritious breakfast in the classroom, have access to the food they need during the summer, and families learn the skills they need to shop and cook on a budget. Since the campaign’s launch, No Kid Hungry and its partners have provided kids facing hunger with more than 500 million meals. Last year’s Taste of the Nation raised enough to provide more than one million healthy meals to children in need. Local beneficiaries include City Harvest, Hunger Solutions NY, Food Bank for New York City, and Hunger Free America. At the event, Taste of the Nation is introducing new special culinary programming such as The Candy Carnival featuring a colorful selection of local, handmade candies. The event is also bringing back favorites from previous years such as The Donut Derby with creations from the city’s best donut shops and the always-popular Rosé Garden. Live music from rock band The Strumbellas, fresh off a performance on TBS’ “Conan,” will provide entertainment. The band was recently named Best New Rock/Alternative Rock Artist by iHeartRadio. Taste of the Nation for No Kid Hungry tickets start at $250. For additional information and to purchase tickets, visit: https://ce.nokidhungry. org/events/nyc-taste-nation.

Following the news that Sean “Diddy” Combs aka Puff Daddy will premiere his Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: The Bad Boy Story documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival, the music mogul announced an exclusive one-night-only performance at the screening event alongside Bad Boy Entertainment’s finest. That’s right, “First Lady of Bad Boy” Faith Evans, “Queen Bee” Lil’ Kim, and Mase. Combs, who owns a house in Northwest Woods in East Hampton, and the Bad Boy crew will return to the home of Bad Boy Entertainment, taking the stage at New York’s historic Beacon Theatre on Thursday, April 27, as part of the documentary’s premiere at the 16th Annual Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T. F o l l o w i n g 2 0 1 6 ’s m a s s i v e l y successful Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour, the performance will once again reunite members of the Bad Boy family for a night celebrating the storied heritage of the iconic label. “New York is home. This is where Bad Boy began, where the movement started. There was never a question in my mind that this film would premiere right here where it all started,” said
Combs. “This is the stor y of our family - the biggest names in hip-hop history – and what happens when we came together for the first time in two decades. There were ups and downs, a lot of hard work and sacrifice – and more than anything, you see that love that only exists in a family.” The film is directed by Daniel Kaufman and produced by Live Nation Productions. It is a raw and exclusive look behind the scenes at the history and legacy of Bad Boy through a complex portrait of the label’s mastermind, Combs, as he tries to reunite his Bad Boy Family in the course of a frantic three week rehearsal period. Celebrating the label’s 20th anniversary, the film traces the label’s emergence in Harlem and Brooklyn, follows its meteoric rise, explores the tragic killing of Biggie Smalls, and celebrates Bad Boy’s influence in reshaping music, fashion, marketing and culture -- all while revealing the love and commitment that form the bonds between the Bad Boy family.

Fight The Famine By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Children across the South Fork have banded together to raise funds for emergency famine relief in Africa. “Fight The Famine” is a family event being held at the Bridgehampton Community Center on Saturday, April 29, from 4 to 7 PM. The event will raise money in support of UNICEF, an organization that works in 190 countries and territories

to put children first. Guests will enjoy finger foods imagined and created by high school students from the Bridgehampton School’s Nutrition and Culinar y program. There will be table decorations by nursery children at the Green School in Bridgehampton. Fabric art featuring indigenous trees, birds, flowers, and flags of the afflicted African countries by Hayground School students will be on display. When the children were asked why they wanted to help people so far away, their answers were heartfelt. “Kids just like us are star ving,” said Atlas Geirsson, a student at the Hayground School. “I care because even if we live in different countries, we’re all human, and if we have food, they have every right to food as well,” added Madeline Grabb, a Bridgehampton School student. The event will also feature a crafts table manned by the kids from Montauk’s Camp SoulGrow. “It’s a gift to learn to give back to others at such a young age, and it’s what will make our children more compassionate people as they grow up,” said London Rosiere, Camp SoulGrow’s director. Attendees can bid on auction items and prizes procured and organized

by Ross School students and kids from Shelter Island. The group effort continues with drinks and table coverings by East Hampton’s John Marshall Elementary School students and PTA, and publicity and social media is being handled by students from Liz Bertsch and Mbachi Kumwenda’s Hayground School class. The event will also feature a DJ and dancing. The looming famine in four African nations could have a devastating impact on some of the world’s most vulnerable children. An estimated 1.4 million children from South Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria, and
Somalia are at risk of imminent death from severe malnutrition. “We commend the East End kids for their commitment to helping their peers around the world,” said Michele Walsh, Managing Director of the New York Region at UNICEF USA. Jalisa Hopson from Bridgehampton School believes the event “could raise lots of money for medicine and food for [those in need]. Maybe even clean water.” The cost of the event is $12 for adults and $10 for kids. To purchase tickets in advance visit www.events. unicefusa.org/event/fight-the-famine.

Broadway Reporting From
(& Sometimes Off)
By Isa Goldberg War Paint
War Paint
That the women who portray Helena Rubenstein and Elizabeth Arden in Doug Wright’s new musical, War Paint on Broadway, are titans in their own right, is the obvious understatement. Patti LuPone, as the vampire-like Jewish immigrant (Rubenstein), and Christine Ebersole, as the Episcopalian socialite (Arden), each reveal the vulnerability of these two overachievers who created an industry. Had their names been Henry Ford, they would be remembered in just that way. In their case, however, it takes Wright to rediscover them. Writing about women as “outliers” is a recurring theme for him. His awardwinning Grey Gardens, which he wrote with his collaborators here (music by Scott Frankel and lyrics by Michael Korie), follows the lives of Jacqueline Kennedy’s cousins, Little Edie and Big Edie Bouvier Beale. (Ebersole won the Tony Award for her role.) It follows the two women from their heyday as socialites to their pitiful estrangement. And in his one-man play, I Am My Own Wife, Wright explores the life of an eccentric German transvestite, who hid from the Nazis, in plain sight, as a woman. In War Paint, LuPone’s and Ebersole’s first act duet says it all quite simply, and sadly. “I sleep alone/If I’d been a man, I’d make the rules,” LuPone’s Rubenstein sings. Rejected from purchasing an apartment in a prestigious Manhattan apartment building, she eventually buys the building. And when someone tells her “War is a mind game,” she throws it off with a swift comeback. “Tell that to Joan of Arc.” Even the title turns the world of specifically feminine products – cosmetics -- into a masculine image. In Ebersole’s most outstanding number “Pink,” about the Arden brand signature, the entrepreneur reflects on both her success and her nemesis. “Pink – the only shred of me they want,” Ebersole’s Arden decries. While filled with bathos, it’s a comic gem. The stereotypical color gets what it deserves. LuPone’s Rubenstein, however, is more blatantly emasculating. When Arden divorces her husband and business partner, Tommy Lewis (John Dossett), he runs to Rubenstein to share Arden’s business secrets and secure his own future. Confiding to her designer dog, she laments, “You know how I took you to the veterinarian and he took out your testicles? She did the same to him.” Indeed, both women left their significant others and business partners, in the wings. Following the upward rise of their businesses in the ‘30s is the focus of Act I. The second act fastforwards through
history, starting with World War II, and their support of the war effort, leading into the decline of their businesses in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Unable to keep up with the times -- the advent of television, Madison Avenue, and mass production -- Rubenstein and Arden became the dinosaurs, “Epidermis Rex,” of an ever-expanding market. While the book unearths their lives, what stands out here is the extraordinary singing. LuPone, balancing classical gusto with characteristic bravura, and Ebersole, sweetly and openly alive in

show stopping musical numbers, are legendary. And while the men in their lives were their lesser halves, John Dossett and Doug Sills (Harry Fleming) are in fine form here, as well. Catherine Zuber’s costumes, with LuPone weighted down by enormous necklaces, and Ebersole in Arden’s signature color, add to the parade. David Korin’s scenic design serves as a mirror to their large egos. Fortunately, director Michael Greif recognizes what we’ve come to see, and delivers it joyfully.

“Number 1, I’m representing for women, and No. 2, I’m representing for playwrights of color,” Lynn Nottage said in an interview with The Los Angeles Times, following the announcement of her second Pulitzer win for drama. Nottage is the first woman in history to receive two Pulitzers. As with her first Pulitzer for Ruined, Nottage developed Sweat through interviews with the people whose plight

she represents on stage. Regarded as the first post Trump-era drama, the play takes place in Reading, PA, a steel-manufacturing town, where the factory is closing. Set in 2000 to 2008, the human drama reflects the issues that explain Trump’s presidential victory unemployment and economic despair, racism, immigration, and hatred of the other, and drug addiction. Transforming characters from hopeful to deadened, is the playwright’s coup de theatre. Khris Davis plays a young man about to start college, and a man condemned to prison for an act of violence. That they are both the same character is difficult to see at first. One wonders how the haggard criminal and the idealistic youth could be the same person. His partner in crime, played by Will Pullen, is even more disguised. More potently, the victim of that violence, Stan, sensitively played by James Colby, turns from the pillar of

Independent Dining Signs & Seasons: An Astrology Cookbook
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Every wonder what to feed a hard-toplease dinner guest? Well, the answer might be as simple as discovering their astrological sign. East Hampton’s star astrology team Amy Zerner and Monte Farber, along with Chef John Okas of Highway Restaurant, have created the book Signs & Seasons: An Astrology Cookbook, published by HarperElixir, out on shelves in May. The book reveals how the zodiac is intimately connected to the changing of the seasons and people’s relationship with food. It teaches readers how to eat for their sign and nourish their soul. It also can come in handy when feeding friends and loved ones based on their signs and the season. The book comes complete with over 85 seasonal recipes, replete with astrological lore, tradition, and ingredients that emphasize nourishment for body and spirit. You can even learn
how to balance the preferences and desires of a table of mixed signs. Z e r n e r , Farber, and Okas demonstrate how food connects us not only to our families, history, and culture, but to the natural world itself. The zodiac emerged from our agrarian ancestors’ need to chart the growing seasons. It came from the very necessity of growing food and sustaining life. Drawing on that rich history, the book brings cooks on a journey through the four seasons, beginning with the spring equinox, and each of their astrological signs. A first of its kind, the cookbook describes, based on astrological sign, our appetites and our aversions, as well as our styles in the kitchen and when
entertaining. It tells the reader how each sign eats, how they cook, and how they like to entertain. The recipe for couscous and cracked wheat tabbouleh is perfect for an Aries sign during the spring. A Virgo will enjoy a lemony grilled shrimp with white beans during the summer. Linguine fine with broccoli and anchovies is a recipe for a sagittarius during fall. As the recipes
head into winter, kale salad is key for a Capricorn. Zerner is a U.S. National Endowment for the Arts award-winning fine artist. Since 1988, she and her husband, author Monte Farber, have created what they call their family of “spiritual power tools.” There are over two million copies of their works in print in sixteen languages. They love to cook and create together and believe that adding love, light, and laughter to everything one cooks is essential to crafting great meals and a great life.

the community - a warm, friendly, supportive bartender - into a brain dead restaurant worker. And the amazing Johanna Day, in a role that is significantly different from any other she has played on stage, takes a fall from a salaried factory worker who embraces life to a hardened drug addict. Other characters we meet in the bar are also convincingly portrayed by Carlo Alban, Michelle Wilson, and John Earl Jelks, among others. Director Kate Whoriskey, who also directed Ruined, helms this seamless production. Still, it’s the depth of humanity that Nottage brings to her characters that makes us feel as if everything that happens on stage happens in the moment.
Present Laughter
With Kevin Kline and Kate Burton as the happily divorced couple at the center of the Noel Coward revival, Present Laughter, the entertainment is abundantly frothy. Gary Essendine (Klein) is a famous British actor, philanderer, and narcissist. His ex-wife, Liz (Burton), does everything for him, including, literally, helping him keep his pants on. Incidentally, she is lovely in the role, exuding a warmth and vitality that have amplified with maturity. And Klein clowns, broods, mimics, and

brown. Take it off the heat and keep in a warm place. The lemon peels should now be ready. Add the candied lemon peels, three tbsps of the lemon simple syrup used to cook the peels, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice to a blender cup. Purée until a thick smooth consistency is achieved. Once all of the elements are ready, heat a frying pan over high heat. Season the scallops and put the oil in the hot pan. Drop the scallops in the pan and sear on one side for one minute, then flip the scallops to the other side and sear for another minute. Add the warm parsnip purée along with the lemon around the plate. Place scallops on top of the parsnip. Add some mâché to garnish with a drizzle of brown butter to finish. Enjoy! performs the physical pratfalls for which he, like Gary, are so well known. In Moritz Von Stuelpnagel’s production, however, the characters who won’t go away – and literally will not leave Gary alone – are the most intriguing. Foremost among them is Roland Maule (pronounced as spelled). In Bhavesh Patel’s hands, this wannabe playwright and clinging fan is the one to watch. Seemingly innocent to the point of dense, Maule turns from a worm into a vicious monster, taking control of events in the most frightening and unexpected fashion. Thriving on comedy, as is her wont, Kristine Nielsen is devilishly alive here. Playing Klein’s assistant, she deflects cross fire and near catastrophe with discernable chagrin. No one twists like Nielsen, whose stage personae are unique to her. Other interlopers come and go with shameless adoration and contempt for the famous star. Among them, Daphne Stillngton (Tedra Millan), is an ingénue who knows no innocence, and Joanna Lyppiatt (Cobie Smulders), a two timing wife. Both revolve in time with the swinging doors. Along with Gary’s business associates, an absolutely agitating Morris Dixon (outstandingly portrayed by Reg Rogers), and a far too stuffy Henry Lyppiatt (Peter Francis James), the stage is a boiling pot of combustible energy.

Insight
Earth Day is Saturday. The very first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 launched what became the modern environmental movement. Within 20 years Earth Day went global mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and lifting environmental issues to the world stage, according to earthday.org. Across the world, the country, and the East End, celebrations abound. Check out our list of local events and activities elsewhere in this edition. Beyond participating in community events, there’s plenty you can do individually to honor Mother Earth. Earthday.org is looking to log three billion “acts of green.” Check out their website for ideas for action you can take personally to protect the planet. Comments from individuals about their acts are inspiring and, in some cases, pretty funny. Said Emily from Pennsylvania, “My classroom wrote 27 letters to the president about climate change.” Barbara from Des Moines offered, “My family decided to stop eating meat for a month. We will let you know how that goes.” And Joe in Portland? He wrote, “I broke up with my girlfriend because she would not recycle no matter what I said.” Check out the website for ideas, or come up with your own plan. Either way, it’s time to show Mother Earth a little love.
Independent VOICES
Soy, Instead
Dear Editor, Here’s another reason to swap out cow’s milk for soy milk: It can substantially reduce your risk for cancer and other common, chronic illnesses. Scientists at the University of Ghent recently found that women who eat lots of soy foods are 44 percent less likely to suffer from colon cancer, and men who eat soy are 40 percent less likely to develop the disease. Researchers also found that
people who eat soy and other vegan foods rather than dairy products are less likely to suffer from stomach cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Cutting out dairy reduced men’s prostate cancer risk by 30 percent, and ditching dairy may also help prevent lung and breast cancers. The lead study author concluded that plant-based eating is cost-effective and can increase the number of healthy years that people live. Eating vegan also reduces animal suffering and combats climate change and other environmental problems. Visit www.PETA.org to learn more and to order or download a free vegan starter kit.

HUGS Awarded This week Assemblyman Fred Thiele applauded Governor Andrew Cuomo for including Human Understanding Growth Services, Inc.(HUGS) in the $2.65 million funding awarded to expand and develop treatment support services. HUGS, located in Westhampton Beach, is a non-profit that is dedicated to alcohol and drug prevention. They won $100,000 of the $2.65 million that was awarded throughout New York. “Substance abuse and addiction is a problem in communities across the State and here on Long Island’s East End. This funding will assist HUGS Inc. in their efforts to increase access to vital services for those who need help in beating addiction,” said Assemblyman Thiele. C.T.

RICK’S SPACE Butta A buttered roll. It’s what’s for breakfast. Even though I’ve seen it in many cities, having a buttered roll for breakfast is a New York thing, like a bagel with cream cheese. The tradition dates back. My mother used to say, “Have some bread and butter” if I complained I was hungry. “Otherwise you’ll ruin your dinner.” I could never figure that out. Would a cookie be any worse? The truth was even the poor families had bread and butter, so it was an affordable way to get some nourishment into a kid. It was amazing what you could do with a buck back in the day. I would get on the IRT at the Parkside station and three trains and 15 cents later be up in the Bronx at Yankee Stadium. I could buy an entire loaf of Italian bread with butter for a dime. It cost 50 cents to get into the bleachers, but you could cross over into the last nine rows of the upper deck for another dime. As the game wore on the ushers would disappear and I would make my way down to the box seats, just a few yards from the dugout. After the game I would wait outside for the players to come out. Mickey Mantle was like a rock star. Fans engulfed his limo, trapping the Mick inside,
until it finally began moving right through the sea of bodies. One day I came home late for dinner. “Put your good clothes on, and hurry - we have company,” my mother said coldly. Just when I got my jeans off, she came into my room. “Where were you today?” she asked softly. “At the schoolyard,” I said. My radar was up. My mind began racing for a more suitable lie. “Funny, I went there looking for you. Then Mrs. Kane told me you went to the ball game.” “Yeah, right mom. We had a stickball game at St. Thomas More’s. Yeah, a stickball game.” “NO, you went to the Bronx, Rickey.” This was a no-no. Then she grabbed the belt from my discarded jeans, the one I made at the Arts and Craft camp she used to make us go to on Saturday mornings. It was made of beads and leather and it was ugly as hell, but in the right hands it packed a real wallop. She began on my pink thighs. Each swat was accompanied by a word: HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO TO THE BRONX? A lie came from my mouth with each painful welt that rose. “I went to the movies with Tommy.” “I was at church praying for your
www.indyeastend.com
lost soul.” “I joined the Navy!” Finally I blurted it all out: “I went to see The Mick!!!” There was no dinner for me, only bread and butter, or as we pronounced it, butta. I would stop at Murray’s every morning on the way to school and grab a buttered roll. If I had an extra dime I would upgrade to a bagel and cream cheese. We called Murray’s a candy store, but he also had a soda counter, newspapers, cigarettes, and, if you were 18 or older (or 13 and big for your age) dirty magazines. They don’t know how to do bagels out here. They put the cream cheese on like it was butter, a thin coating. I always have to try and explain what a “schmear” is. In a good Jewish deli in the city they would put the entire package of Philadelphia Cream Cheese on the toasted bagel. Not here. I did learn what a Bonac Burger is: butter and peanut butter on a roll. There came a time when our beloved butta came under siege, much like what would happen to cigarettes, whole milk, salt, sugar, even Brylcreem. These wholesome items were deemed unfit for human consumption because they were

bad for you. For a while there they would sell margarine right next to butter. It began to find its way onto our beloved morning rolls. Finally, Crazy Frankie Balducci put an end to it. Frankie wasn’t that big, but he was crazy, crazy enough to throw some wise guy in front of a moving bus when he was 11. “Hey Murray!” He yelled one morning. “What’s this crap on my roll?” “Butta!” Murray insisted. Frankie turned and faced Nostrand Avenue. “Murray, you see dat bus over dere?” Murray silently grabbed another roll, lathered it up with the real thing, and handed it to Frankie. The margarine fad was over.

Southold Historical On Friday at 4 PM at the Community Center at Peconic Landing (simulcast to Southold Free Library), Bill Bleyer will give a talk based on his book, Long Island and the Civil War. Although no battles were fought on Long Island, the Civil War affected every one of the 101,000 people living in the region. More than 3000 young men - white and black - answered their country’s call to preserve the Union by serving in the army or navy. There were training camps for regiments on their way to the front, Confederate ships marauding within eight miles of Montauk Point, anti-war protest and a draft riot in Jamaica in 1863. Local women raised thousands of dollars for Union hospitals, and Long Island companies manufactured uniforms, drums and medicines for the army. Long Island and the Civil War explores this story, from the 1860 presidential campaign to the wartime experience of Long Islanders in the field and at home. Bleyer was a prize-winning Newsday staff writer for 33 years before retiring in the summer of 2014 to work on this book and freelance for magazines and Newsday. Vox At Custer Although Galileo’s scientific achievements are widely known, the legendary “father of modern science” was a member of a distinguished family of virtuoso lutenists and was an accomplished lutenist himself. In celebration of Galileo Galilei’s genius and musical interests, lutenist Christopher Morrongiello

The removal of the Cost Sharing Reductions (a portion of the Affordable Care Act financial assistance) will eliminate New York’s Essential Plan, which provides coverage to nearly 700,000 for free or $20 monthly premiums with no deductibles. Kirsch accused Congressional Republicans of, “putting party ahead of people.” He urged President Trump and Congressman Paul Ryan, the main architect of the AHCA, “to set their ideologies aside.” All the experts agreed that New York State, always progressive when it came to health care, has easily navigated the intricacies of Obamacare and it has been a boon to many of citizens. Benjamin pointed out the state has taken on more of the increased cost of Medicaid rather than pass it along to some counties that it proves a burden to. Initially, the federal government and the state were to split the cost of Medicaid 50-50. The state then passed along half its share (25 percent) to its counties. As costs grew, though, some counties, particularly in poorer areas, felt the financial strain. Albany lawmakers then pulled back some of the Medicaid charges to mollify the counties. As of now counties contribute about 13 percent of the costs.
Doing It Right “New York is doing it right,” Benjamin said. “There is better service in New York State than most other places.” During a question and answer period with journalists who

Though all agreed the GOP plan that would cut $800 billion from Medicaid would mean millions of Americans would lose their health insurance, the panelists were loathe to criticize Obamacare, which badly underestimated how much it would cost to accomplish its goal. As a result the Medicaid deficit soared. According to Brian Blasé, a senior research fellow at George Mason University, the ACA’s Medicaid expansion enrollees cost an average of $6366 per plan, 50 percent higher than expected. The unexpected spike, wrote Blasé, exposed the government’s inability to estimate Obamacare costs and triggered the desire among Republican leaders to reel in costs. In response to a question about the rising costs of premiums under Obamacare, Benjamin claimed, “average premiums throughout the state have gone from $1200 to $600.” When apprised small business owners invariably see an increase in the cost of premiums she acknowledged, “There is currently not enough assistance for small businesses.” When questioned by this reporter, the panelists stood clearly behind Obamacare in its current form and offered little in the way of advice on how to improve it. Blasé, on the other hand, is not fond of the current law or the proposed AHCA championed by Republicans. “It has become more and more obvious in the years since it was foisted on the American people that Obamacare is a jerry-built piece of legislation and that it is about time that, politics aside, there should be bipartisan endeavor to scrap the law and replace it with one that makes sense and is truly affordable.”

In 1929 the village boasted a population of 994, 608 with library cards (though summer residents may also have had the cards). In September of 1938 the cornerstone for a new Junior/ Senior High School to be built on Mill Road and Depot Road was laid. Twenty days later the famed Hurricane of ’38 wiped out most of the burgeoning village. Main Street was flooded with up to eight feet of water, the death toll reached 27. Library Avenue was clogged with debris from mansions battered and carried landward from the dunes. The library, perched atop a small rise, survived. After World War II Judge Harold Medina decided to establish a trust for the benefit of the library. “I got the idea that the little library they had up here in the village was wholly inadequate . . . At that time I was really at the peak of my success as a lawyer and making a lot of money and doing extremely well and so I said this is the time to start the fund,” Medina said in an interview.

The library wouldn’t exist as it does today, were it not for Judge Medina, Janoski pointed out in an interview with The Independent. Judge Medina funded additional wings to the building and added to its collection. The Library Avenue building was constructed thanks to a gift from the Westhampton Chapel Society in 1951. In 1959 a wing dedicated to American History and Literature was named for the Judge. His collection of sailing boat replicas crafted by master builder Ripley Ropes was donated to the library by his widow. “They disappeared for a while,” Janoski said. But staff found them and had them refurbished. About seven years ago, the library annex was torn down, ground down, and recycled, “And,” said, Janoski, “we built this beautiful building.” It’s designed to serve the community’s needs for the next 50 years. The library’s website states the institution’s mission: “to serve the community; cultivate knowledge; promote curiosity; and inspire lifelong learning.”

The locals are off to a 6-2 start in rough and tumble League IX, putting them squarely in the Class A playoff picture. Last Wednesday’s 11-3 loss to Miller Place was not indicative of what transpired in the early season, when the locals reeled off a four-game winning streak to start the season A 9-0 whitewash of East Hampton on April 10 was more in line with what the team does best. Jess Ferrick hurled a complete game four-hitter, and the offense peppered the field - and the stands – with hits. Brooke Walter went three for three, two of them dingers, exploding for six ribbies and three runs scored. She also tripled. Lauren Ramos contributed three rocks and also scored three times. Incidentally, Walker and Ramos
lead the county in home runs with five each. Ferrick is among the league leaders in wins with four. The locals play at Glenn (2-6) today and get Islip (5-1) at home tomorrow. The rest of the League IX local teams have struggled. East Hampton is 3-5, Southampton 2-5, and Hampton Bays 1-7. The Lady Bonackers play at Islip (5-1) today and get Sayville (5-2) at home tomorrow. Mattituck, competing in League X, is 3-3 thus far. The Lady Tuckers play at Southold/Greenport tomorrow. Pierson, Bridgehampton (0-3) and Shelter Island (0-5) are winless so far this season. The Lady Whalers try to break the schneid at Babylon (7-0) tomorrow. Shelter Island gets Center Moriches (5-0) at home tomorrow. Southold/Greenport (3-2) comes to the Island Friday. Riverhead is 1-6 in League III; the Lady Waves host Patchogue/Medford (1-5) tomorrow.

during which the team allowed a grand total of one run. Last Wednesday the Mariners whitewashed Mercy not once but twice: Chad Pike hurled a one-hitter in the nightcap of a doubleheader as the locals prevailed 3-0. Aaron Krzyzewski did the honors in the opener, fanning eight as the locals coasted, 5-0. A three game series continues as Southampton takes on Mattituck today at home and tomorrow on the North Fork, and those games should be dandies. Mattituck is also off to a hot start, sitting one game behind the Mariners in second place with a 7-2 mark. The Tuckers were working on a seven game win streak before getting upended by Center Moriches Saturday in an 11-10 donnybrook. The Tuckers won the first two games of the series. There’s red hot, and then
there’s white hot. That would be Southold, 9-0 in League IX. Talk about pitching? The Settlers have allowed six runs the entire season, and feature two of the best hurlers on Long Island: Pat MacFarland and Dylan Clausen. Oh, and let’s not forget Luke Hansen, the third man in the rotation. He earned the win last Wednesday when the Settlers pummeled Smithtown Christian 16-2. McFarland didn’t sit idly by – he raked four hits good for three ribbies. Next up is Greenport (1-6) at home today and on the road tomorrow. Pierson/Bridgehampton (3-3 in league play) is battling for a playoff berth. In League VI Westhampton, which has a history of finishing fast, is in fifth place as of this writing with a 3-3 league mark. Some local teams got off to slow starts and remain icy cold. Those include Riverhead, 3-5 in League III and 3-6 overall and Hampton Bays, 1-8 in League VII. Greenport is 1-4 in League IX play and 1-6 overall. East Hampton is winless after eight games.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard
With dozens killed in the southeast of our country, it puts into perspective our complaints about heavy fog, drenching rain and the largely cold and damp spring that we had until of late. But, like hurricanes vs the tails of hurricanes, weather like we’ve been seeing is far more likely to affect us and thus we should understand the forces at play. This column is about that.
The Lake Effect We’ve all heard of the “lake effect,” where the Great Lakes dump so much snow on upstate New York and nearby states. Snow accumulations of 10 to 12 feet over the course of the winter in Buffalo are not unusual. The phenomenon occurs when cold air flows over the relatively warm lakes. The relative heat of the lakes leads to warming of the lowest levels of the atmosphere, which promotes rising air. When air rises in the atmosphere, it is cooled, and if enough upward motion (and thus enough cooling) results, then the air will reach its
dew point and condensation will occur leading to cloud development. Eventually the clouds will produce precipitation. And, if you’ve been following the weather upstate (I was just up there for USCG business), flooding from unrelenting rain is rampant.
The Ocean Effect Why doesn’t that happen here, at the seashore where all the same characteristics -- warmer water, winds and cold air -- are at hand? In fact, it does. The Ocean Effect just doesn’t get as much media attention since nobody lives over the ocean, and there are no roads to get clogged by snow. Also, the temperature gradient isn’t as great, since we don’t get as much of that Canadian cold air as they do upstate. Since most of us aren’t boating during the winter months, it isn’t much of an issue. However, with the extremes of weather we’ve been seeing, we can see the ocean effect both in the fall and in the spring. And

what doesn’t fall as snow falls as rain. And plenty of it as we’ve seen. The accompanying satellite photo shows an excellent example of ocean effect conditions. Clear skies over the mainland and plenty of cloud cover over the ocean – and seashore communities. The basics are very similar to the lake effect scenario. Thus, it will occur when rather cold air flows over the warmer ocean waters. Once the air has been over the water long enough (i.e. a bit offshore), it warms and rises and clouds will form. And, if the temperature difference between the air and the water is large enough, precipitation will develop from these clouds. This situation will frequently occur behind a cold front that has moved off shore. Typically, a cold front will be accompanied by showers, then clearing skies are likely after the front has passed and the colder and drier air mass moves in. Forecasts in coastal locations will indicate this progression of events, but offshore the situation may be different with clearing skies initially followed by the ocean effect conditions described above.

remember, all ye seaside residents, Montauk is 130 miles out at sea, relative to New York City. These long shorelines of the northeast can create “at sea” weather conditions, right here on land. So if you happen to be operating over the Atlantic waters this spring (or fall) when a particularly cold air mass follows a cold front, be aware that despite forecasts of clearing, windy, and colder conditions offshore it is very likely that considerable clouds will be experienced, with the real potential for serious rain, or snow, at times. BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources Department, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing.”
