Lurking In The Lather By Kitty Merrill
You dutifully wash your hands, working up a lush sudsy lather to rid your hands of dirt and germs. It’s just another effort you take toward the goal of staying healthy. You dutifully wash your hands, your body, your hair, your kids’ hands, bodies, and hair using only the highest quality organic and supposedly safe products. You dutifully wash, and the suds you’re rinsing off could be sending a carcinogen into the water supply. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have called on the Food and Drug Administration this month, asking the agency to require companies that use 1,4-dioxane to remove the toxin from bath products. Schumer emphasized the danger following reports indicating the presence of 1,4- dioxane in the Long Island water supply. He and Gillibrand signed a formal petition to the FDA. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, 1,4-dioxane is used as a solvent in the manufacture of certain chemicals found in cosmetics, detergents and shampoos. It isn’t required by law to be listed on
labels, which makes it difficult to avoid. “The fact that 1,4-dioxane, a potentially dangerous chemical, is hiding out in everyday products expected to make us clean is very disturbing, and to make matters worse, likely carcinogens like this one can be even more harmful to kids,” said Senator Schumer. “This likely cancer-causing toxin serves no purpose in these products and is not even identified on packaging so it’s time we drain it from everyday products to make Long Island’s water safer. With the technology available to minimize 1,4-dioxane in toiletries, the FDA should do everything in their power to remove this likely carcinogen from products before those products hit store shelves.” Following a water quality conference held at Stony Brook University in February, Governor Andrew Cuomo joined with Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone in urging the FDA to set a “drinking water standard” for 1,4-dioxane. Like Schumer and Gillibrand, they called for regulation and pursuit of treatment technology. At the time, Cuomo said that if the feds
don’t act, state officials will. The Citizens Campaign for the Environment describes 1,4- dioxane as “an emerging contaminant of concern.” According to CCE's recent evaluation of public water suppliers across Long Island, Nassau and Suffolk water suppliers have reported the highest levels of 1,4-dioxane contamination in the nation. 1,4-Dioxane is listed as "likely to be carcinogenic to humans," with a Lifetime Cancer Risk Guideline for drinking water of 0.35µg/L (micrograms per Liter) by the U.S. EPA. The chemical has been linked to tumors of the liver,
sale items end 4/22/17
kidneys, and nasal cavity. Highest detections were found upisland, however, things are different here on the East End with many homes still served by private water wells. The toxin can be found in private residential wells, too, CCE executive director Adrienne Esposito affirmed. She said Schumer’s request to the EPA is “what we have been asking for.” At a press conference announcing the move, she said, “We are delighted! This is exactly the right step. We need a plan to remove existing 1,4 dioxane from our drinking water Continued on Page 40.

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO SEX? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO FLIRTING? She was a tall, pretty account executive in her late 20s. I was the chairman of the advertising agency she worked for. We passed each other in the hall late one work night and I said, “If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?” She laughed and said, “Jerry, you are such an idiot. Besides, that’s a line you stole from a country song by the Bellamy Brothers.” As I remember, she had no interest in me, but she had a torrid affair with another account executive at the agency, and last I heard they were still married and living in California. This all took place in the 1970s. If I said that line to someone today, they would sue me for $15 million for sexual harassment, and they’d collect. No one flirts anymore. It’s too expensive. Don’t think for a moment that this is a defense of Bill O’Reilly. I think he’s a moron who deserves everything that happens to him.
O’Reilly needs a calendar. He forgot that this is the year 2017. He thinks he is still living in the 1970s. Although he was probably the kind of sexual jerk that women would avoid even in the free and easy 1970s. You remember the 70s, don’t you? If you were born before 1950 you do, and the thought of the 1970s is making you smile even as you read this. The 1960s and 70s, when young men and women escaped from the rigid, frigid 1950s and suddenly felt free. The music was rock and roll. There was the smell of grass (which is now called weed) on every corner. There was sexual freedom. No one had even heard of the term “politically correct.” It was wild. At my advertising agency we held an annual agency sex contest, where everyone had a secret vote for the person they most wanted to go to bed with. There was a gay category. There was a menage a
REAL ESTATE
trois category, where people voted for the two people they most wanted to go to bed with. As I said, it was wild. The contest would take place in early December and as many as 200 to 300 men and women participated. Since we were an advertising agency, many people placed ads advertising themselves on the walls. One day one of our clients from Utica Club Beer announced he was coming to the agency for a meeting. Everyone scampered to take all the ads off the walls, so we could go back to looking like a stodgy advertising agency. In the middle of our meeting our client got up to go to the agency’s men’s room. That’s when I almost had a heart attack. “We forgot the men’s room!” I screamed. After hours, many of the women in the agency would sneak into the men’s room and put up suggestive ads promising untold pleasures in return for a vote. My favorite was a woman account executive who placed her picture over the headline, “Like Bloomingdale’s, I’m open after 9 every night.” When our client came back from the men’s room his hands were shaking and he was twitching. He never said a word about what he had just seen. He went back to Utica, New York, in a daze. I would announce the winners of the contest in a margarita- and cannabis-filled party at a “Closed to the Public” Mexican restaurant. Sophomoric idiocy? You bet it was. But in the 18 years we had

the contest, its existence was kept a secret by everyone who worked at the agency. Sexist? We had more female top executives than we had male executives. We never had a single complaint. Everyone felt free to have fun or to abstain. No one was ever judged. I would guess that if anyone sent out a memo about an agency sex contest today, there would be 30 sexual harassment lawsuits filed within a few hours. We are a politically correct, serious nation. It’s not just in the business world. College kids on a date play a sad game of “Simon Says,” encouraged by their schools. Every move they make has to be proceeded by saying “May I?” “Simon Says I want to kiss you,” he says. “STOP! You didn’t say ‘May I’.” These are different times. This is not an indictment of young people today. They’re living in different, politically correct times. How different? If you’re reading this and you’ve been married over 30 years, I ask you to think back to your first date with your spouse. Want to bet that you said or did something during that date that would be called sexual harassment today? As I said, we live in different times and most everyone is smart enough not to say or do anything that can be misunderstood or turned into a lawsuit by a smart hungry lawyer. Bill O Reilly, with his blundering, fumbling sexual aggressiveness, was too insensitive to get the message. If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Growing Beauty From Tragedy By Kitty Merrill
Matthew Lester hoped to create a pollinator garden to help the folks at the East Hampton Historical Farm Museum increase their bees’ honey production. It was to be his Eagle Scout project. According to his mother, Dana Lester, “It all started about four years ago. He became interested in bees.” Matthew kept talking about bees and, “We got interested as a family and thought it might be a good hobby.” “He put together a map of the garden with plants that would bloom from March to Christmas,” Prudence Carabine, director of the East Hampton Historical Farm Museum. The Museum is located on what’s known as the Selah Lester property. Of 17-year-old Matthew’s idea, Carabine thought, “He’s a Lester, this is perfect.” Matthew presented his idea to the East Hampton Town Board in January, speaking eloquently, Carabine recalled. “They applauded him and said this is a wonderful thing and we’re so grateful. The fact that you’re a Lester is so appropriate. Good luck . . .”
Two weeks later he was dead, the victim of suicide. “That was hard,” Carabine recalled. “None of us could understand it.” Poised to head off the college this fall, Lester had already enlisted a network of volunteers to help plant the garden. Now, they want to continue in his name. “As soon as he passed, we knew we wanted to do this. It was one of our first coherent thoughts [after Matthew’s death],” Dana explained. She and Matthew’s father, Jeff, contacted Scoutmasters Joanne Schaefer and Paul Casciotta. “They already thought the same thing,” Dana recounted. The Springs School and East Hampton High School communities were invited to participate and contribute. EHHS Principal Adam Fine and Springs School Principal Eric Casale helped spread the word, Dana explained. A flyer sent to parents by Casale notes, “Matthew’s hope was the garden will become a source of nutrition for bees, butterflies, and humming birds and in turn, us as well. Without these essential pollinators, humanity would not be able to survive.”

Prudence Carabine at the plot that will become the Matthew Lester Memorial Garden at the East Hampton Historical Farm Museum.
Matthew’s project will move forward this spring, if organizers can put together donations of money, materials, and time. “We’ve already gotten a great response from the community about it,” Dana reported. Testament to how the project is coming together, Carabine noted the town-owned property lacked adequate water pressure to even run a hose to the garden plot. She mentioned the problem to East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell and, “He got it fixed that day.”
While Matthew’s death was a tragic event, Carabine hopes the garden will offer solace, and even joy, to loved ones and the community at large. “This is a good thing,” she said, spreading her arms as if to embrace the fence surrounding the garden plot. “It’s real Bonac.” The Farm Museum plans to host a special dinner, replete with traditional turkey and clams, to officially name the garden next fall. Matthew’s mother seemed pleased to know her son’s legacy will come to fruition. Still, she said, “I wish he was doing it himself.”

As The Independent went to press yesterday, runners were poised to join marathoner Eva Casale on the fourth day of Every Veteran Appreciated Week. A fellow Long Islander, Casale’s mission is to run seven marathons in seven days to raise awareness of Hope For The Warriors. "I wanted to put my passion for running to work for veterans so we created Team E.V.A. which stands for 'Every Veteran Appreciated,'" said Casale. "The sole purpose of Hope For The Warriors is to help our veterans who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe, so they can succeed here at home. It's an honor for me to organize and run this event and to know that I can bring even more people together to take part in such an important mission." Founded in 2006, Hope For The Warriors is a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, family and hope for post 9/11 veterans, service members, and military families. Since its inception, Hope For The Warriors has served approximately 10,000 through a variety of support programs focused on transition, health and wellness, peer engagement and connections to community resources. The nonprofit's first program, A Warrior's Wish, has granted 162 wishes to fulfill a desire for a better quality of life or support a quest for gratifying endeavors. In addition, Run For The Warriors has captured the hearts of more than 22,000 since 2010. Casale began her marathon of marathons Saturday in Huntington. Each marathon will be focused on honoring local servicemen killed in action and will be linked to communities they called home. Monday was Shelter Island Fallen Heroes Day in honor of Army 1st LT Joseph Theinert and in support of Team Joey. The first leg of the marathon started and finished at Shelter Island High School, traveling around the area of Shelter Island where Joey grew up and enjoyed the outdoor sports the island had to offer. The second half of the run navigated through the Shelter Island 10k course. Joey's brother, “Jimbo,” was scheduled to take participants through the island and some points of interest and honor. Yesterday was named The East End's Fallen Heroes Day. Tuesday’s marathon was run in honor of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jordan C. Haerter, in support of Team
Jordan and the Fallen Heroes of the East End. Runners anticipated crossing the Sag Harbor bridge named in Jordan’s honor around noon. Supporters were also expected to remember another fallen hero, SPC. Orlando Perez of Sag Harbor. As lead sponsor, Suffolk Federal has made a strong commitment to Team E.V.A. and Hope for the Warriors and invites the public to join the cause. Visit any Suffolk Federal branch now through April 28 to donate and be part of the mission's success. There are East End locations in Riverhead, Southampton and Eastport. For a $10 donation, donors can

Where’s Lee? Zeldin Tours District
By Kitty Merrill
Political opponents, residents and groups such as National Organization for Women New York, Let's Visit Lee Zeldin (LVLZ), Long Island Progressive Coalition (LIPC), PEER-NYPAN: Progressive East End Reformers, Mothers Demand Action, and MoveOn have been on the offensive with Lee Zeldin ever since the congressman cancelled a scheduled town hall meeting in Southampton. Day after day, groups posted to social media crafting a “Where’s Lee?” hashtag and demonstrating outside his office and events he was known to attend. Last Thursday the groups hosted a “sidewalk town hall,” outside Zeldin’s office in Patchogue. Determined to make their voices
heard, the National Organization for Women-NY has teamed up with Long Island activist groups to express issues and concerns they say Zeldin has yet to address. On the agenda was highlighting the dire need for Violence Against Wo m e n A ct ( VAWA ) f unding, demanding women's access to healthcare, and as well as the local issues that matter to constituents. Under the last of constant criticism, Sunday night, Zeldin released a list of open forums and “town hall” meetings he held throughout the district that day. The first Community Forum was hosted by Suffolk County Community College at their Riverhead Campus, and moderated by Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy.

Congressman Lee Zeldin toured the district Sunday, hosting community forums, while NOW and other groups demonstrated outside his Patchogue office earlier in the week.
The second Community Forum was hosted by LI News Radio and the Portuguese American Center, held at the Portuguese American Center in Farmingville, and moderated by Jay Oliver from LI News Radio. The third Town Hall was hosted by Catholics for Freedom of Religion and held at St. Patrick’s Church in Smithtown. According to Newsday, the congressmen met with “fier y c r o w d s” i n R i v e r h e a d a n d
Fa r m i n g v i l l e . D u r i n g t h o s e outings, he made a point of underscoring differences he has with President Donald Trump. Zeldin drew fire in February when, citing a planned hijacking by a group of liberal activists bent on crafting “political theater,” he cancelled a town hall meeting at Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton planned for this spring. Rallies “for town hall” ensued, as did the “Let’s Visit Lee Zeldin” m o veme n t . Fac e b o o k g ro ups popped up with the Let’s Visit Lee Zeldin group boasting over 2800 members, the more localized East End Woman and Others for Change group comprised of 686 members.

Judge Burke Portrait Unveiled
Several years ago, when the idea of having professional portraits of Supreme Court judges painted arose, local justice Judge Ed Burke suggested several colleagues for subjects. At the time, h o w e v e r, h e w a s told only portraits of judges who’d passed away would be hung in the federal court building in Riverhead. Over time, however, the rule changed and recently, Judge Burke’s portrait was unveiled. This week he said he was excited about the honor, particularly because three of his children are attorneys and will likely see the painting when they come to court. A Sag Harbor resident, Judge Burke established his law practice in 1969. He sat on the bench in Southampton Town Justice Court from 1984 to 2000 when he moved to Supreme Court. He served in the Supreme Court until 2007, and was elected again to serve in Southampton Town Court, where he helmed the bench until 2015. He’s still going strong in his law practice.

On East End, State Budget Shines By Rick Murphy
It’s as if the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa all came to the East End on the same day. For sure, the newly adopted New York State budget has been extremely kind to this neck of the woods, leaving critics few and far between. There is, for example, a whopping $2.5 billion set aside to deal with the most vexing local problem: how to keep our waterways clean and our drinking water pure. The budget extends the populist “millionaires tax” for two years — and a larger, not-so-populist tax on health insurance for three years. It adds to New York’s mostgenerous-in-the-nation tax subsidies for film, TV, and other “Hollywood” productions, which is sure to please the bold-faced names that live in the Hamptons. There is the revitalization of Uber, thanks to Cuomo. It may infuriate East Hampton Town officials, but late night revelers will welcome the return of reliable taxi service, and MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) will applaud the move. Local schools should benefit from the new budget, The budget provides $16.7 million for Early College High School programs, $103 million in funding for schools for the blind and deaf; $20 million for Teacher Resource and Computer Training Centers (an increase
The AGE alleges poor districts, of $5.7 million;) and a total of $7.3 million for adult literacy typically with a high percentage education. In addition, the budget of minority students, get shorted provides $25 million for technology while wealthier districts fare projects at nonpublic schools and much better. Stony Brook Southampton is $25 million for security upgrades set to receive an additional $5 to nonpublic schools. "Education is the great equalizer, million for building upgrades, but to make that a reality we need money requested by Thiele and to keep driving funding to our State Senator Ken LaValle. “As Chairman of the Senate schools," Assemblyman Fred Thiele said. "This year's state budget does Higher Education Committee, I just that - it invests in our kids and was able to secure $5 million to be eliminates barriers so that every used to create new academic space student can get an education that and renovate existing building at SUNY Southampton,” LaValle helps shape their future."

Cuomo pushed through a deal that will make tuition free at the City and State University of New York Systems. The offer, for families with annual incomes up to $125,000, stands for two and four-year colleges. The plan will be phased in over three years, and begin with the fall semester. Thousands of Suffolk County residents will be eligible. Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton both campaigned for a national free-tuition program. Legislators pushed through a last-minute addition to the bill that requires those who receive free tuition to live and work in the state for the same number of years that they receive the awards. The New York Times criticized the budget for not addressing several ethics proposals that reformers wanted to include in the package. “Despite the recent convictions of the leaders of both the Assembly and the Senate and indictments against some of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s own associates, lawmakers failed to take up a raft of ethics proposals included in the governor’s executive budget,” wrote Lisa Forderaro on April 11. Richard Azzopardi, a spokesman for the governor, countered, reportedly stating Cuomo had “passed more [ethics] reforms than any other administration” and would continue to press for more.

Deepwater Seeks Input From Fishermen By Rick Murphy
The developers of an offshore wind farm, reacting to concerns voiced by local fishermen, announced last week they will hire experts from the fishing industry to help guide the project. Deepwater Wind is the parent company of South Fork Wind, which is planning to construct a 90-megawatt wind farm 30 miles off the coast of Montauk. Some environmentalists have
complained the installation will endanger fishing at nearby Cox’s Ledge. Others said the noise of the wind generators would force some species of fish to alter their migratory patterns. Larry Penny, the former East Hampton Town Natural Resources Director, has also voiced concerns the generator blades will kill birds. Deepwater Wind is looking for at least three Long Island fishermen to serve as independent
representatives of the local fishing fleet, according to ads placed in this and other newspapers last week. “The independent fishing reps, representing Long Island’s baymen and commercial and recreational fishermen, will help disseminate information to the fishing community and help facilitate communication between fishermen and Deepwater Wind,” Deepwater said via a press
JEWELRY REPAIR
release. “They will also serve as the primary point of contact for any area fishermen with questions or concerns about the offshore wind farm or transmission cable. South Fork Wind intends to run an underwater cable from the wind farm that will come onshore in Amagansett near Fresh Pond or the old fish factory. Local fisherman said they believe it will disrupt fishing in Nappeague Bay. Deepwater Wind is a leading U.S. offshore wind and transmission developer. The company is led by a veteran team with extensive experience in developing renewable-energy projects. The company is actively planning offshore wind projects to serve multiple East Coast markets located 15 or more miles offshore, including Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. The company’s Block Island Wind Farm is America’s first offshore wind farm. Visit www.dwwind.com for more info.

RICK’S SPACE Jerry No, he’s not dead. Normally when I write something nice about someone, that’s the reason. No, Jerry Della Femina is alive and well and you can find his column in this newspaper like always. I’ve been working for him for 14 years. In fact, I left a good job to come here (and took a pay cut), but looking back I’m glad I did. He hired me after a meeting at his oceanfront house in March. It was freezing cold and his driveway was a sheet of ice. He pulled in 20 minutes later and apologized – he had driven all the way out from the city with his dog, Oreo. It was love at first bite and yes, Oreo bit me repeatedly as we walked inside. Jerry never looked at my resume. We talked, we laughed, and he offered me the job. After the meeting we both walked out together with Oreo munching on my heels and he drove all the way back to Manhattan. He had come all the way to East Hampton just to meet me. How do you say no to that? There is an incredible amount
of misinformation about Jerry out there, at least in my circles. For example, an angry woman stopped me in King Kullen a couple of weeks after the election: “Is your boss happy now that Trump is President?” she sneered. I was flabbergasted, because Jerry wrote at least seven columns urging people not to vote for Trump. He was a supporter of Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign. I mentioned to someone the other day that we endorsed Larry Cantwell for East Hampton Town Supervisor and the person didn’t believe me. It’s hard to argue with someone who looks you in the eye and basically calls you a liar. Yes, Della Femina and East Hampton Village (and Cantwell) were in a much-publicized feud almost three decades ago. And that’s the point. People assume that Della Femina is like George Steinbrenner or Jerry Jones, hands-on owners who get involved in day-to-day decision-making. So let me put this out there for every naysayer who believes Della Femina had me on puppet strings

all these years: Not once – NOT ONCE did Jerry ever call up this newspaper and suggest we write about someone or something. He never asked that we endorse or not endorse a certain candidate. He never asked that we investigate a certain individual. Yes, he may have bit his lip when the smiling face of Larry Cantwell appeared on our cover, but he never said a word. My conversations with Jerry over the years were always about one of two things: we’d either giggle about something one or the other of us wrote, or grouse about football games we bet on and lost. Larry Cantwell? Never. Tom Coughlan? A lot. I can’t help but believe the perception of Jerry in some corners is because he doesn’t fit the mold of the rich liberal second homeowner, he must be some kind of nasty ogre who dictated what was in this newspaper. Never happened. The truth is The Independent is just that: independent. We’ve always endorsed who we deduced to be the best candidates, usually after conducting face-to-face interviews. It’s inconceivable to think the best candidates are always from the same party. We’ve endorsed Republicans and Democrats (including most recently Cantwell, a Democrat, and his entire slate). There is no need to tout his resume here, because he is a legend in his field. But a lot of folks don’t know Jerr y was hosting Body

He has been a vociferous supporter of the rights illegal immigrants have to live and work in this country, long before it became an issue. To be honest, he’s done more for these so-called liberal causes than the Liberals who feel the need to degrade him. It would be funny if it weren’t sad. Here’s the maudlin part: Jerry Della Femina is a sweetheart. He’s a very kind man. My favorite Jerry’s Ink was the one he wrote about watching The Sopranos on television. It was a family tradition, one that would begin with a good Italian meal and culminate with everyone gathered around the television. Jerry was moved to tears when his daughter, just off to college at the University of Pennsylvania, drove all the way home to be with the family on Sunday night. Did I ever let on to him how proud I am that he put his faith in me? Of course not. As two Brooklyn boys we both know that would be brown-nosing. Let me just say it was worth all the punishment I absorbed from Oreo on that fateful day. Rick Murphy is a six-time winner of the New York Press Association Best Column Award.

What Lies Within Us: An Exhibit Of The Senses
By Nicole Teitler
If a single image boasts a thousand words, than artist Asia Lee is a photographic novelist. Her upcoming exhibit “What Lies Within Us” will run at the White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton this Friday through May 3 with an opening reception on Saturday from 6 to 8 PM. A Jeju Island, South Korean native, Lee has spent most of her life living on Long Island. Being Asian in a predominantly white population left her feeling estranged. After years of internal conflict, with several near death

experiences, Lee found her inner light through holistic healing, with traditions such as Reiki and ho’oponopono. Each morning she posts a photograph of the sunrise on her social media accounts. “When you start the day with something positive, or gratitude, it can change the entire day. The world is really within our head, what we perceive what we think,” Lee expressed. “I’m not trying to heal other people. I healed myself and because I am healed I am able to see things differently. I am sharing that. Hopefully other people are inspired and when they are healed they can give to others.” Her premier exhibit in the Hamptons is a multi-sensory show of her subliminal work. On display she will show fine art photography ranging in size from 4”x6” magnets to 40”x72” digital C prints on plexiglass, all with a focus on the majestic beauty of nature “that you
feel like you can step into.” Inhale as you walk around and you will be soothed with aromatherapy by Chris Kirschbaum of doTERRA. In addition to visual and olfactory senses, an audio-tape of music created in 528HZ will echo throughout the room. The 528HZ is a love frequency that’s been claimed to heal the heart and connect it to the realities around it. “The goal is to reset who we are, who we are meant to be. Which is pure love,” Lee stated. “There is only love and all the other emotions are the lies. So, ‘What Lies Within Us’ -- that’s where the title comes from -- is where you get rid of all the lies and go back to love.” Lee sees herself as a conduit artist rather than a traditional photographer. She encapsulates nature in a single image as a means to present it to her audience, allowing them to interpret it however they choose. “Every day the sunrise is different.

The beauty that’s there, it’s just incredible. I feel incredibly grateful that my life is where it is and I’m able to give back. And I want to give back even more. I’m thrilled when people say they’re inspired,” Lee humbly admitted. Before concluding this interview, Lee decided to play a game of “What If,” something this author hadn’t done since grade school. We went back and forth with phrases of realities until she paused and said, “As children we dream, we imagine possibilities. As adults we see hurdles, we’re too quick to point out what could go wrong. The universe hears you, so you have to stop telling her the negative.” “What If” her show inspires you? “What If” you fall in love with her work? “What If” we all told beautiful stories through our own images?

Rites Of Spring At LongHouse Reserve
Bernar Venet’s “Three Indeterminate Lines.”
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
The LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton presents its annual “Rites of Spring,” which opens the season for the LongHouse on Saturday from 2 to 5 PM. The LongHouse, a 16-acre reser ve and sculpture garden in Northwest Woods, has a mission to exemplify living with art in all forms. The property was founded by Jack Lenor Larsen, and its gardens, sculptures, and collections reflect world cultures and inspire a creative life. The reser ve features pieces from artists Buckminster Fuller, Yoko Ono, and William de Kooning, among many others. There are over 60 contemporary sculptures in the LongHouse garden. “Although this winter was relatively mild, we are more than ready for a flower-filled spring. LongHouse gardens provide just that, with a million daffodil blossoms of many varieties,” stated the LongHouse’s newsletter. Guests of the LongHouse can enjoy hundreds of flowering trees, many fragrant. There is also an array of exciting new and newly placed sculptures throughout.
Judith Hensley McKie’s “The Fish Bench.”
Tw o o f J o h n C h a m b e r l a i n ’s monumental aluminum foil works, “ F R O S T Y D I C K FA N TA S Y ” a n d “PINEAPPLESURPRISE,” have been installed at LongHouse through October this year. The works, situated within the gardens, are silver and copper colored industrial aluminum that is looped into whimsical form, towering at up to 15 feet tall. John Crawford’s piece “Accretion” will be displayed. Crawford’s sculptures are organic repeated shapes that become woven or knitted together with his impressive forging skills. Artist Marylyn Dintenfass’ “Almost Like The Blues” is up for viewing at LongHouse. Dintenfass’ work is found in major public, corporate, and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum. Self-taught furniture maker Judith Hensley McKie excels in her craft. Her inspiration comes from Ancient Greek and Egyptian art, Pre-Columbian, African, Indian, and Eskimo cultures, and folk art. Her works “Lion” and “Elephant” are in the permanent LongHouse collection, and now her “The Fish Bench” will be joining in the
gardens as well. Connecticut artist Mark Mennin creates monumental granite, onyx, and marble carvings. His piece “Crosto Liquido” will be on view. French conceptual artist Bernar Venet’s “Three Indeterminate Lines” graces the gardens of LongHouse. The artist is known for his curved, mathematically precise metal sculptures and his experimentation with materials. Fred Wilson, a conceptual artist born in the Bronx, will display “The Mete of the Muse.” Wilson’s objective is to examine, question, and deconstruct the traditional display of art and artifacts found in museums. The LongHouse, Larsen’s home, was built as a case study in developing a creative approach to contemporary life. According to the LongHouse website Larsen, an internationally known textile designer, author, and collector, believes, “Visitors experiencing art in living spaces have a unique learning experience—more meaningful than the best media.” “Rites of Spring” admission is $10

Back by popular demand will be the local tile fish with sushi rice, goma wakame, and red curry coconut sauce. This season the dessert menu will include ice cream from Montauk’s John’s Drive In. Coffee afficionados
will enjoy that the restaurant will now be pouring another Montauk favorite, Left Hand Coffee. The impressive cocktail menu includes a section of large-format cocktails, perfect for sharing.

You can practically smell it. Spring is in the air and on the East End, that mean’s summer’s coming. Activity is ramping up across the Twin Forks and it’s certainly a bustling time for us here at The Independent. Like the blossoms on our favorite trees, we’re bursting with excitement, eager to begin a new chapter in our history, and thrilled about what that means for our readers. We’ve already implemented what’s quickly becoming a favorite component of Indy, our “Walk Down Memory Lane” series highlighting both the recollections of some of our venerated “old timers” and the history of local institutions. (Check last week’s story of the creation of the Westhampton Free Library by visiting www. indyeastend.com and clicking on the archives button.) We invite readers to get in touch to share your stories of growing up locally back in the day. For our Memorial Day edition this year, we hope to reach back to our own past and return our annual “Heroes of The Hamptons” special section. “Heroes” highlights local volunteers and activists who help make our community the rich and giving home we all love. Who’s your hero? Let us know. Email news@indyeastend. com or call Kitty at 631-324-2500.
Independent VOICES
Qualified & Committed Dear Editor, I urge the people of East Hampton to get to know and support Zach Cohen in his bid for a seat on our town board. Over the years I have gotten to know Zachary Cohen and work with him on several committees. He has a heartfelt concern for our community and he takes the extra step and rolls up his sleeves and does what he can to help. He is a very strong advocate for more affordable housing in our community. We all know the need but Zach understands and has the ability to do what needs to be done to make that happen. Throughout my involvement in Windmill Village and St Michael’s Senior Housing he has always made himself available to help in any way needed. Zach has the skill set and the determination to get things done in our
community. A vote for Zach is a vote for better government. MICHAEL DESARIO
Catastrophic AHCA Dear Editor, Rick Murphy’s article in the April 19th edition of The Independent made clear that replacement of Obamacare with the House Republican-proposed American Health Care Act (AHCA) will have a “catastrophic” effect on New Yorkers. Murphy was reporting on conclusions reached by health care advocates and union leaders who pointed out that enactment of the AHCA will result in up to 2.7 million New York State residents losing Medicaid coverage and huge financial cuts to hospitals, nursing homes and home care providers all over the State. Mr. Murphy deserves thanks for making clear the impact that replacement of Obamacare with the AHCA will cause for thousands of New York residents, including many on the East End of Long Island.

Ed Gifford North Korean Economy Dear Editor, President Trump has pointed out the strong linkage between China and North Korea, and he correctly assumes China can influence North Korea's weapons development program. We must work with China on resolving this situation, and also
on the Chinese encroachment in the South China Sea and the trade deficit imbalance. At this juncture, the North Korean nuclear missile program is of primary concern. China can bring pressure on North Korea to stop its development of these weapons systems by reducing its trade with North Korea. Continued on Page 41. © Karen Fredericks

Continued from page 4. and to prevent any additional contamination . . . Today, Senator Schumer became a national leader in the fight to reduce 1,4-dioxane contamination. Manufacturers have known for decades that 1,4-dioxane poses serious risks to our health, yet too many companies choose not to take the simple and inexpensive step of removing 1,4-dioxane from personal care products.” The EPA lists 1,4-dioxane as a likely human carcinogen by all routes of exposure and the National Toxicology Program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has found that 1,4-dioxane is a “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.” According to the EPA, short-term exposure may cause eye, nose and throat irritation while long-term exposure may cause kidney and liver damage. In 2016, Congress passed a bill including a new requirement that EPA evaluate chemicals based on the health risks they pose. In November, the EPA announced the first ten chemicals it would evaluate for potential risks to human health and the environment. Gillibrand noted that 1,4-dioxane is one of the ten chemicals listed. According to a CCE fact sheet, 1,4-dioxane ”is lurking in everyday products.” Approximately 46 percent of personal care products, including detergents, dishwashing soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, deodorants, and body lotions, contain 1,4-dioxane. 1,4-Dioxane can even be found in baby wipes and baby shampoos. It can also be found in pesticides and packaging materials and remains in the formulation of some paints, solvents, inks, and varnishes. Elevated levels found in many laundry detergents make laundromats a potential point source of contamination for 1,4-dioxane. Some laundry detergents have been found to have the highest levels of 1,4-dioxane of any consumer products, with levels over 50 parts per million, a concentration equivalent to over 100,000 times the EPA's Cancer Risk Guideline for drinking water. S i n c e 1, 4 - d i o x a n e i s a manufacturing byproduct, it is not listed on the labels of household products, making it nearly impossible for consumers to make safe, informed choices. CCE says consumers can look for the 'ethoxylated' ingredients, which may indicate the presence of 1,4-dioxane. The names of those ingredients often include "-eth" or "-oxynol" in part of their names, such as "phenoxyethanol." Two of the most common ingredients that

Will J-Lo and A-Rod last? Kristen Tulp They’re definitely a cute couple and a good match. But then again, she never lasts very long with anyone. But come to think of it neither does he. So it probably won’t last long. Or, maybe they’ll cancel each other out in that way and have something lasting. Bonnie Wright I didn’t even know they were together. But I doubt they’ll last because neither of them has a good record in that way.
Peter Stears Hard to say. Maybe they will last. Why not? For a few years at least. But then again in that type of celebrity world it’s awfully hard to make a relationship last. Being in the spotlight all the time and being in the public eye has got to be tough. Erika Gomez I’m like the one young person who doesn’t know much about celebrity news. But I doubt they’ll stay together long. That’s how it is so often with famous people.

are problematic for 1,4-dioxane contamination are "sodium laureth sulfate" and "potassium laureth phosphate." “Once down the drain, these products carry 1,4-dioxane directly into our groundwater through over 500,000 septic tanks and cesspools across Long Island,” Esposito said. “That groundwater eventually either flows outward into our surface waters or downward into our aquifers, which is the solesource of Long Island's drinking water.” There is some good news on the horizon. The Suffolk County Water Authority is piloting a new system for the removal of 1,4-dioxane from drinking water. Conventional carbon based filtration systems do not adequately remove 1,4-dioxane. This new pilot system utilizes a process known as advanced oxidation. Smaller trials using advanced oxidation have demonstrated success in removing the chemical.

One area of trade that comes to mind is the large quantity of coal China imports from North Korea. It is estimated this amounts to 22 million tons per year, which is 40% of North Korea's coal exports. A reduction in the importation of North Korean coal would significantly impact the North Korean economy, and could force it to change its position on arms development. The U.S. has large quantities of coal available for mining which could be sold to China, if cost effective, to fill its coal importation needs. This would help our trade imbalance with China, boost our coal mining industry, and put our coal miners back to work. DONALD MOSKOWITZ

Real Estate Market: Better Times Ahead By Rick Murphy
The first quarter numbers are rolling in, and as real estate insiders already know, they ain’t pretty. That’s because luxury sales of $10 million or more took a precipitous drop in most of the markets. But a closer look at the numbers reveals the Median Home Sale Price rose in 10 of 12 markets, according to a report penned for Town And Country by the CEO, Judi A. Desiderio. Southampton Village was a notable exception; Sales Volume jumped a whopping 93.6 percent and one residence, located at 7 Old Town Road, sold for $26 million. George R. Simpson, the President of Suffolk Research Service Inc., called the first quarter numbers “a mixed trend.” His analysis of the East End market revealed the Median Price was up 3.5 percent, but Unit Sales were down 5.9 percent and Dollar Sales down eight percent – that number amply reflects the weakness in the high-end market. “Keep in my mind all real estate reports are a look in the rear view mirror,” Desiderio wrote.
The Town and Country analysis reported a decline in North Fork prices as well. The Number of Sales declined 17.6 percent from 91 to 75 units, and Dollar Volume was down almost 10 percent. The Median Sales Price declined from $505,000 in the first quarter of 2016 to $490,000 a year later. However Suffolk Research broke down the numbers for First Quarter sales for five years and they reflect
not only stability but also growth. The East End Market for Single Family Homes, $675,000 in 2013, has risen to almost $725,000. Unit sales have risen each year: 631 in 2013, to 689 the following year, followed by 722, 807 and 827 this year. RE/MAX reports the national real estate market continues to flourish. “March launched the home-buying season with post-recession records for increasing home sales and
prices and decreasing inventory,” according to this month’s RE/ MAX National Housing Report that sur veys 53 metro areas. Last month, home sales were 6.6 percent higher than the nine-yearold report’s previous March record, set in 2016. Thirty-eight of the 53 metro areas in the report showed year-over-year increases. Meanwhile, the unsold inventory Continued on Page 44.

an extensive array of investors, builders, and international clientele. She believes the recent quarterly reports suggesting a downturn in the local market is an anomaly. “There is still a lot of foreign money but it may have slowed because the dollar is stronger and some foreign currencies are weaker.” Her analysis is that sales began picking up in the first quarter. “There has been no inventory buildup, and sales have picked up again in Manhattan after a momentary lull. The two markets will always be connected,” Barrett said. “We follow Manhattan. There are still a lot of people buying second homes, and a lot are becoming full time residents.” Barrett said the dynamics of the local rental market are changing but the numbers are solid. “A lot of renters who bought have been replaced. But the new renters stay for a shorter term but are willing to pay higher prices. So far we’ve experienced a 10 percent decrease in number of leases written but a 14 percent increase in rental revenues. “People are willing to pay for what they want,” Barrett surmised. “Architecturally commanding
houses demand more money.” Barrett moved to BHS from Compass. “The company is owned by the Zeckendorfs so it’s a real family. The reach is phenomenal, national and international because of the association with Christie’s.” The bottom line is East End real estate remains a great investment. “If you are investing would you rather gamble on the stock market or invest in real estate out here?”

Earth Day @ SOFO
Independent/ Camila Tucci
The South Fork Natural History Museum in Bridgehampton celebrated Earth Day with an array of green activities for families, including Jungle Bob and his wild animals. Jungle Bob showed off frogs, tarantulas, snakes, and many other animals that left the audience crawling in their skin. Brave participants got to touch the various amphibians and reptiles.

Early yesterday morning, members of the East Hampton Fire Department extinguished a pool house fire on Georgica Road. Sunday morning EHFD held a department-wide drill on Main Street in East Hampton Village. The purpose of the drill was to simulate a fire in the United Artists cinema, with an eye on the recent Sag Harbor Cinema fire, to determine water supplies and truck-placement pre-planning should a fire in that area of Main Street ever occur. The drill shut down that portion of Main Street for roughly one hour.

In other real estate news Media scion Gardner “Pat” Cowles III is selling his Southampton Village property for $3.95 million. The former publisher belongs to one of the last of the nation’s most powerful media families, which published Look magazine and a number
of daily and weekly newspapers, including the Sag Harbor Express here in the Hamptons. Michael Daly of Douglas Elliman represents his property, located at 624 Hill Street in Southampton. The five-bedroom, four-bath home sits on nearly an acre right in the village. Airy and charming inside, the exterior amenities include a Gunite pool, a generous lawn and large deck, perfect for entertaining and relaxing. Douglas Elliman reported another significant sale this week. The property, at 32 Middle Lane in East Hampton was listed at $29.95 million. The sellers' and buyers' identities are cloaked by LLCs (Dune Park LLC to 32 Middle Lane LLC, Paul Brennan represented the seller). This is the first transaction on the home, designed by renowned architect Aymar Embury II, since it was built in 1931, as it's been kept in the family since. Embury was a frequent collaborator of Robert Moses and many of his constructions are still found in NYC structures in zoos, parks, playgrounds and swimming pools.

YMCA Swim Team Seniors Make a Splash
By Rick Murphy
The YMCA of Long Island is celebrating the success of two YMCA East Hampton RECenter seniors, who recently completed their final season on The Hurricanes swim team: Marikate Ryan and Cecilia DeHavenon. Through the years, Ryan and DeHavenon have been star performers. As co-captains, they led the team through an exceptional 2017 season, all the way to their final meets at the New York State YMCA Championships in Ithaca, NY and the YMCA Short Course Nationals in Greensboro, NC. “After 13 years on The Hurricanes, I can’t imagine my life without this team,” said Ryan, a life-long swimmer who finished her legacy on The Hurricanes strong at states. “I’m so grateful for the YMCA network I have had here, and I believe swimming has aided in me getting into my choice for college. While this is my last season on the team, I know I’ll always come back to the YMCA in the summer, and I hope one day I can bring my kids to swim here at the Y. This isn’t going to be the end – the Y is always going to be part of my life,” Ryan added. DeHavenon, who beat her best 100-yard backstroke time during Nationals, also reflected on how the YMCA East Hampton RECenter has played a big role in her life – socially, academically and individually – teaching her many
life skills. “I moved here eight years ago, and the friends I made on the swim team were my first friends here—now everyone at the Y is like family to me,” said DeHavenon. “Swimming has taught me a lot of skills, time management and perseverance, which I believe have played a part in me getting into the colleges I want.” While Ryan and DeHavenon, who have had a place on the team for ‘a collective 20 years’ as Head Coach Tom Cohill likes to say, will graduate this June from East Hampton High School before heading off to college to continue their swim careers, the fate of The Hurricanes looks strong with all of its 2017 national competitors set to return, including Sophia Swanson, Julia Brierley, Maddie Jones, Caroline Oakland and Maggie Purcell. Purcell, a Southampton High School student, earned Academic All-American status at the Short Course National Championships and became the first Hurricane ever to swim in a national short course final. Purcell competed in four individual events at Nationals and had her best performances in the 100-yard breaststroke and 100-yard freestyle events. "With so many personal bests and knockout performances this year, I’m excited to see the new and returning athletes this spring,” said Norma Bushman, Aquatic Director at the East Hampton YMCA RECenter. Continued on Page 46.
The Southold Settlers continued their winning ways this week, shutting out Greenport twice and extending their unbeaten streak to 12 games. Make no mistake about it, this team is a State Class C title contender, fueled by what may be the best pitching staff ever to come out of the North Fork. The Settlers beat Greenport 4-0 last Wednesday behind the impeccable pitching of Luke Hansen, who struck out 12, allowed only three hits and did not walk a single batter. Pat McFarland and Doug Fielder were the hitting stars. Thursday it was McFarland on the mound as the Settlers crushed Greenport 11-0. It was the fourth straight shutout for Southold. Dylan Claussen, who shut out Greenport in the opener of the series, laced three hits. McFarland went three for five. The Settlers travel to Stony Brook today and get the Bears (4-3 in League IX) at home tomorrow: game time is 4:30 PM. The numbers are beginning to work against Riverhead, 3-6 in League III and 3-8 overall for the season. The Blue Waves dropped two games to Northport last week and have lost seven of eight. The locals play at Copiague today and get the same team at home Friday. The Eagles have yet to win a game this season, going 0-12 thus far.
Westhampton is mired in a similar situation in League VI with a 3-6 mark. The Hurricanes need to put a winning streak together after dropping a three game series againt Islip last week. A three game series with hapless Amityville (0-9) this week may prove to be the antidote. At this point in the season East Hampton (0-12) is just trying to win a game in League VII. The Bonackers play Glenn at home tomorrow – the first pitch is slated for 4:30 PM. Mattituck and Southampton have already earned playoff berths, but the two squads are in a spirited battle for first place in League VIII with identical 9-3 marks. The Tuckers won two of three against the Mariners last week, besting their rival 10-0 at home on April 17 courtesy of a spectacular pitching performance by Brendan Kent, who allowed a hit to the first batter and none thereafter and struck out 12. James McDonald and Matt Heffernan had two hits each. Last Wednesday the Tuckers traveled to Southampton and spun another shutout, this one courtesy of Bryce Grathwohl and his reliever, Tyler Williams. McDonald and Kevin Mahon had the key hits in the eighth inning. The Mariners salvaged the third game of the series 6-1 behind the pitching of Chad Pike. Devon O’Brien supplied the fireworks with a booming home run, a triple, and four hits in as many at bats and five ribbies.

Bonackers Give Fans Something To Root For
By Rick Murphy
The losing seasons have been piling up for sometime now, but loyal East Hampton softball fans finally have something to root for. The Lady Bonackers, once thought to be out of the playoff picture, have dug themselves out of the hole by winning three of their last four games and thus thrusting themselves back into the playoff conversation. Last Thursday’s home victory against Sayville was a highlight of the season. The locals pushed across 11 runs to give their pitcher Sam Merritt plenty of breathing room as Bonac prevailed at home 11-5. Ella Gurney contributed three hits and three ribbies. There is a critical game at home today against Glenn (2-9) at 4:30 PM. A victory will give Bonac a 5-5 league mark, and a .500 percentage will be enough for a playoff berth come season’s end. The game is about as close to a “must win” as Bonac has had in many a year, especially with undefeated Mt. Sinai (8-0) coming to town tomorrow. Westhampton is sitting pretty in

League IX with an 8-2 record, good for second place. Last Wednesday Annie Acampora led the hitting attack, going three for three as Westhampton overwhelmed Glenn 16-4. Jess Ferrick recorded the win. It doesn’t get any easier for the Hurricanes. Comsewogue (7-3) comes to Westhampton for a 4 PM tiff today and Shoreham Wading River (10-1) comes to town Friday. Southold/Greenport, 5-2 in League X, appears to be headed to the playoffs. The Lady Settlers clipped Mattituck 6-5 Thursday, with Hannah Sutton delivering the winning run via a sacrifice fly. Kyra Panetta drilled three hits for the winners. Ashley Hilary earned the victory. The Lady Settlers get Mercy at home tomorrow (4:30 PM) and play under the lights (7 PM) Friday at Babylon. Mattituck (5-5) has playoff aspirations. The Lady Tuckers play Pierson/Bridgehampton at home tomorrow at 4 PM. The Lady Whalers are 0-6. Friday Mattituck travels to Port Jeff for another winnable game against 1-8 Port Jefferson.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard
An Act Of God – Just What Is That..? Any school child knows, or at least believes, any terrible storm or other natural phenomena that causes damage to your property, or, causes your property (your boat) to damage someone else’s (another boat), is an Act of God. Behind this “fact” lies protection for the insurance company that may, or may not, have to pay (check the fine print and be sure of what you are paying for) or for you when your boat sets down on someone else’s during a storm and sinks it. Or, does it? What are the facts?
The 4-Day Nor’easter Of ‘05 Some of you may recall the severe nor’easter we had in the late fall of ’05. I do in particular because my son and I moor our boats in a bite of water east of Gunning Point, along with about a dozen other boaters. During that storm, two of those dozen boats broke loose from their ground tackle. One, my son’s, ended up about 300 yards to windward, way up in a marsh. The other, my neighbor’s (“Joe”), set down on my boat in the
storm and sank it. His boat ended up against my dock and sustained considerable damage, just from being banged up against the bollards. After two days of mourning, I said to myself, “Hey, it’s a boat. Call the insurance company. Work something out. Buy another boat.” And I did. The insurance company was professional in every way.
Enter Joe, The Neighbor My neighbor, Joe, was really and truly sorry that it had happened. He came over to the house, hat and checkbook in hand, and offered to pay for the damages. “Joe, don’t be silly. It was an Act of God. No one’s fault. For cripes’sake, the wind blew for 4 days straight! Go home.” And, after many, many attempts at redressing what he felt was his fault, he went home.* What Actually Is an Act of God? An Act of God from a layman’s point of view is any natural act caused without human intervention – hurricane, tornado, earthquake, lightning, etc. From a legal point of
www.indyeastend.com
view, it is the same. However, to seek a defense as an Act of God, there is a second test. There must be no negligent behavior that contributed to the accident by, for example, the vessel owner. There is a presumption of fault under the law, from the start, that a vessel adrift is adrift due to negligence so it is a difficult “beat to windward” to offset that presumption. If, for example, everyone in the marina doubled their lines because a heavy storm was predicted, and you didn’t, you very well may have an issue with the second test. Were you negligent in failing to act as other skippers did? A case having to do with Hurricane Katrina, a vessel named the “Trust Me II” and the marina that she was moored at, highlights all of these issues. First, Katrina clearly passes the Act of God test as a natural act caused without human intervention. And there was plenty of damage caused by “Trust Me II” as she broke from her mooring lines and ping-ponged through the marina. And, as noted above, the presumption of fault lies with the owner of the adrift vessel, despite the massive power of Katrina, so the facts have to be compellingly on the side of the vessel owner. So, was there negligence? The owner of “Trust Me II” didn’t

go down to the marina herself. She did, however, ask two qualified mariners to check on her vessel and make sure that she had adequate lines. Extra lines were added and one of the mariners testified that “Trust Me II” was secured as well as she could be, given the circumstances. Given the presumption of fault, the judge had to weigh that these facts – boat double checked, lines doubled, all by competent mariners – were sufficient ballast against the presumption of fault under the law. You won’t be surprised to know that the judge, despite several arguments by the marina owner that the vessel could have or should have taken further precautions, ruled in favor of “Trust Me II”’s owner that the facts met the legal test of an Act of God. But, what if the owner hadn’t asked for that extra help? Only God knows . . . Several months later, with his youngest daughter in tow, Joe came over with a sealed greeting card, and said, “We’re not leaving unless you open the envelope.” So, I did. When I looked up, they were already walking down the path to their home. And I held a gift certificate from West Marine.
