Biotoxin Closes Area Waters
Tests positive for marine biotoxins in shellfish prompted the closure of some area waters. By Kitty Merrill
Mussels collected from DEC monitoring sites tested positive for saxitoxin, prompting the closure of several area waterways last Thursday. According to the Centers for Disease Control, ingestion of saxitoxin can cause numbness of the oral mucosa in as little as 30 minutes. In severe poisoning, illness typically progresses rapidly and may include gastrointestinal (nausea, vomiting) and neurological (cranial nerve dysfunction, a floating sensation, headache, muscle weakness, parasthesias and vertigo) signs and symptoms. Respiratory
failure and death can occur from paralysis. So you’re not going to want to eat shellfish from western Shinnecock Bay or Deep Hole Creek, Halls Creek, or sections of Great Peconic Bay in Southold. Harvesting from those areas is temporarily banned. The DEC alert notes two types of affected shellfish: filter feeding shellfish like clams, oysters, mussels, and scallops, and carnivorous gastropods like whelks, conchs, and moon snails. The Southampton Town closure applies to both types, while closures in Southold Town target only the carnivorous gastropods.
More specifically, the Southampton closure encompasses about 1400 acres in western Shinnecock Bay lying west of Pine Neck Point in East Quogue and east of Post Lane Bridge in Quogue. In Southold, all of both creeks and the section of the bay surrounding the mouths of the creeks, about 120 acres, is closed. This is the first time marine biotoxins have spurred closure in that area. Typically the areas are “uncertified,” i.e. closed, for shellfish at this time of year due to elevated bacteria levels.
Saxitoxin (STX) is a potent neurotoxin and the best-known paralytic shellfish toxin (PST). Ingestion of saxitoxin, usually by consumption of shellfish contaminated by toxic algal blooms, is responsible for the human illness known as paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). PSP is a marine toxin disease with both gastrointestinal and neurologic symptoms reported worldwide. Although there have been cases of PSP occurring in the absence of algal blooms, it’s widely believed blooms of infected algae -- AKA, Gonyaulacoid dinoflagellates -contaminate the shellfish that eat it. Dinoflagellates produce at least 12 toxins; saxitoxin was the first characterized and the best understood. It’s one of the most potent natural toxins and, according to sciencedirect.com, it’s estimated a single contaminated mussel has enough saxitoxin in it to kill 50 humans. Exactly why contaminated blooms such as red tide occur has yet to be verified scientifically. A variety of factors, including change in weather, upwellings, temperature, turbulence, salinity, and transparency, have been studied. The samples that triggered the closures were collected by the DEC and Suffolk County Department of Health Services in conjunction with their marine biotoxin monitoring programs. There are close to three dozen monitoring sites in Suffolk County waters. Additional testing will have to conclude before the sites can re-open. Call the DEC to hear a recorded message offering an update n the closures. 631-444-0480.

MOTHER’S DAY I miss my Mom. And not just because Sunday is Mother’s Day. I have a problem with Mother’s Day as a holiday, anyway. Yes, I know it’s a great day for restaurants and florists and card stores to make some money. But it’s become a blatantly commercial day and that enables some people (who don’t pay as much attention to their mothers as they should all year long) to play
“catch up” and make up for neglect with some flowers or a Mother’s Day meal. My Mom died a number of years ago and I think of her just about every day. I wouldn’t like myself if I didn’t think about her as much as I do. I spoke to her every day from the day I got married (as a child bridegroom) and left home, until the day she died. She would end every phone call I made to her over

the years with the same two words: “Be careful.” I owe her a lot. She gave me something that ever y mother should give a child – unconditional love. I never felt, for a second, that she could love me any more than she did if I did well at school. Unconditional love has nothing to do with good marks at school. I never felt that she would love me any more if I were a success and any less if I were a total failure in life. Success or failure doesn’t enter into the picture when a child receives unconditional love. My Mom was just 4 feet, 10 inches tall – she was tiny. For the first 40 years of her life she weighed less than a hundred pounds. My Mom never raised her voice, but she always got me to hear what she had to say. She arrived in this country many years ago and she really saw America as the land of opportunity. She was an immigrant and she didn’t get to become a citizen until many, many years after she got here. My Mom worked at the age of 14 rolling cigars in a cigar factory. She worked in sweatshops making children’s clothes. She took in “piece work” at home, making dolls’ dresses. My grandmother and grandfather never learned a word of English and never became citizens. Although times were hard, they never took a penny of welfare. They never even considered it. I think of them when I hear these idiots scream and march and carry on against the latest wave of immigrants. If Trump had his way there wouldn’t have been a Kentucky Derby this year. Most of the jockeys who are Hispanic

would have been deported. As the son of immigrants I say let’s give all immigrants green cards, register them and allow them to go to work. Someday their work ethic will save this country. Speaking of work ethic, my Mom never heard the term “work ethic,” and she probably didn’t understand what it meant. But that never kept her from having one. One day years ago when I called my Mom she said, “Jerry, I’m worried about you.” “What's wrong?” I asked. “I don’t think you’re working hard enough.” “WHAT?” “I don’t think you’re working hard enough,” she repeated. “Mom,” I said, “all over America mothers are telling their sons that they are working too hard, and you’re telling me you don’t think I’m working hard enough?” “People are happier when they work hard,” she replied. “I think you’re happier when you are working hard. I want you to be happy.” “How do you know I’m not working hard?” “Because when you call me in the morning, sometimes it’s after nine o’clock and you’re still home.” I then proceeded to tell her that I was an advertising writer, and writers don’t have to be sitting at a desk in order to be working hard, and most of the time, for me, thinking is hard work, etc., etc. “I still think you’d be happier if you work harder,” she replied. I laughed, but the next day I was in my office, sitting at my desk, at 8 AM. On the day she died I got to see what an extraordinary effect she had on everyone whose lives she touched. There, in the center of her hospital room, my first wife Barbara and my current wife Judy were hugging each other in grief and crying uncontrollably at the thought of losing her from their lives. Quite a lady, my Mom. That’s why, for me, every day is Mother’s Day. If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Let The Good Times Roll By Camila Tucci
Who would’ve thought the Dakotas beat New York when it comes to having a good time? That’s right, in WalletHub’s new survey of the Most Fun States in America for 2017 South Dakota ranked second and North Dakota ranked fourth. New York placed well considering how expensive it is to have fun. We ranked fifth. Nevada ranked first, and Colorado ranked third. WalletHub analyzed the states based on two key categories: entertainment and recreation, and nightlife. Within each category are subcategories such as restaurants per capita and average beer and wine price. These subcategories are ranked and they make up each state’s score on entertainment and recreation, and nightlife. The highest score a state could receive is 100. They can receive up to 80 points from entertainment and recreation and up to 20 points from nightlife. The top ranked state, Nevada, scored a 56 with top rankings in both entertainment and recreation,
Donors Unite Sag Harbor-based entrepreneur and philanthropist Myron Levine, founder of All For the East End (AFTEE), has announced the launch of Donorsunite.org, a new charity gift card giving website. The innovative technology on the easy-to-use website is poised to forever change the way we give gifts. By harnessing the power of the ubiquitous gift card, Donors Unite provides an alternative to material gifts for any occasion - a charity gift card. The Donors Unite gift card is perfect for any occasion – Mother’s Day, major holidays, birthdays, weddings or even a thank you for a dinner invitation. J.M.
and nightlife. These high rankings can be attributed to Las Vegas and all the attractions it has to offer. Not only does Nevada have lots to do, but unlike New York, it is affordable. New York scored a 43.93 overall with a second place ranking in entertainment and recreation. Unfortunately New York flopped in the nightlife category. The state ranked an abysmal 41 out of 50 states plus DC. New York’s movie costs, average beer and wine costs, and casinos per capita (or lack thereof) sent us to the bottom of the festive file. New York’s restriction on
gambling caused its level of fun to falter behind other states. The combination of cost and gambling caused the Empire State to fall from possibly first place overall to fifth. What state ranked the lowest on fun you might ask? The dishonor goes to the impossible to spell Mississippi. Mississippi had a total score of 14.52. They ranked dead last in subcategories including fewest performing arts theaters per capita, lowest variety of arts, entertainment, and recreation establishments. Here’s to going out more, eating great food, drinking fruity
cocktails, laughing until you cry, and most important, enjoying great friends and family. That is what having fun is really all about.

Sooner or later, Mom’s going to die. I think I’m ready. They called me last night to report she tested positive for c-diff. If I contracted c-diff, it would mean a few uncomfortable days. In frail elderly, it can be a death sentence. But Mom’s bounced back before. She’s been at the door five times this year, and didn’t slip through. Sooner or later, she’s going to go. My fervent prayer, my middle of the night plea to the gods and the universe and all that is merciful, is that she doesn’t go too late and she doesn’t go too soon.

“so I’m ready to check out in the morning.” She wouldn’t stop asking the same question over and over, growing increasingly agitated, till I got on the phone and ran through “the script,” giving her a blow by blow account of how she got sick and lost her memory. Each time I started to recite, “On March 19, you got sick . . .” it felt like spears of ice piercing my throat. Last spring was mostly a blur. Calls from her, calls from the place, calls about emptying her home, her doctors, her money, her insurance. No one task could be completed with a single phone call. Jim came to the rescue again, lending me the Indy van so I could close out her condo. The famed charities wouldn’t take her furniture, they wanted brand new stuff in perfect condition. So one afternoon, I watched two men break her beloved dining room table into small pieces to carry off to the dumps. It cost $776 to haul away her life. Another day, a stranger came along and helped me as I stood crying in front of the Indy van, trying to figure out how I was going to lift her oak sideboard into the vehicle. We stuffed it in, along with books and a million chatkes, dishes, glasses, kitchenware, linens, her clothes. I delivered it to The Salvation Army in Riverhead, where a group of men watched me unload the van, telling me about the sideboard, “Oh, we don’t take furniture; that’s the Patchogue location.” I gave it to some ladies running a second hand shop nearby. When I began packing up her house, I found Mom’s diaries. Same as her mother, she kept a sort of almanac with entries like, “Rainy day today. I went to Curves.” I couldn’t resist looking for my birthday among the pages, just to see if she ever had anything to say. The entry read, “Kitty’s birthday. Called and left a message on the machine.” Driving back to East Hampton that night, I tried to remember a time – any time – she and I had spent alone together talking. I couldn’t conjure a one. These past 14 months there have been so many. So many moments “just us two” talking. I learned it’s not unusual for families to abandon their loved ones with dementia once they find a decent facility. They “can’t bear” to see what’s happening to them. They can’t stand to observe the other patients in the unit, so many a grim snapshot of their future. Only once have I driven to Islandia, sat crying in the parking CONTINUED ON PAGE 11.

As a young kid she excelled in her studies and that carried on into high school. She graduated her all girl high school as the valedictorian of her class. When I’m having trouble with my studies she rarely refrains from telling me about the hard work she put into hers. Stories like rewriting her notes before her shift at work, or studying late into the evening were common occurrences throughout high school. She later went on to study accounting in college. My mom immigrated to the United States with her parents – and me -- in April of 1999. She ended up in a small house in Montauk working at Ronnie’s Deli and at night she would take English classes.

Whatever my mom sets her mind to, she accomplishes. She believes strongly in the rights of Latinos on the East End and has joined Organicion Latina Americano(OLA) as a board member to help in the cause. Along with helping with OLA, my mom graduated from Boston University's paralegal program with honors. Looking back on her incredible journey I can make one sweeping observation. In every stage of my mom’s life, she has always reached for the next best thing, and achieved it. I can honestly say that for my siblings and I, there is no better role model. She is the unsung hero and I know that the impact she has made on our lives is everlasting. My mom always says that she is our biggest fan, but instead we have witnessed every day an amazing mother and women in action. She is the true epitome of what it means to be a super mom. Thank you and we will always love you to the moon and back. Happy Mother’s Day.

The official nomination of the entire slate will take place at the party's regular monthly meeting scheduled tonight. As reported previously, town board hopefuls are Manuel Vilar for supervisor and Jerry Larsen and Paul Giardina for town council. Trustee incumbents on the ticket include Diane McNally and James Grimes. Added to the slate are Joseph Bloecker, Gary Cobb, Julie Evans, Michael Havens, Lyndsey Hayes, Susan Vorpahl and Willy Wolter. Highway Superintendent incumbent Stephen K. Lynch will get the nod, as will Town Clerk incumbent Carole Brennan. Tina Silverman will run for assessor. Republicans screened Judge S t e v e n Te k u l s k y w i t h t h e intention of cross-endorsing him, but were prohibited from doing so by the Democrats, according to Cornelia, who said, “I am surprised by the Democrats’ action because two years ago Republicans allowed the Democrats to cross-endorse Republican Judge Lisa Rana.

Inspiring Girls To Study STEM By Elizabeth Vespe
"Being called a nerd is a compliment!" boasted Dr. Jennifer Gatz, a research scientist and high school teacher, guest speaker at Saturday afternoon's Girls Rock It, i-tri’s first sponsored event at Guild Hall. I-tri is an organization aimed towards empowering middle and high school age girls, who learn to find their strengths through a regimen geared toward a youth distance triathlon. Nearly two hundred attendees gathered in John Drew Theatre for the forum, which was comprised of the screening of critically acclaimed film Hidden Figures, followed by a Q & A session with six female scientists, geologist and physicists, moderated by renowned CBS medical reporter Dr. Max Gomez. The goal of the event was to inspire a new generation of girls to strive for excellence and chase their dreams no matter what the obstacle and to introduce them to panel members in various Science Technology Engineering and Math fields. I-tri founder and executive director Theresa Roden explained

sport athletes, a B.Sc. in fitness cardiac rehab/exercise science, an M.S. in exercise physiology, and an M.A.T. in biology, Gatz studied the effect of the i-tri program on participants’ attitudes towards science for her doctorate. “It was the perfect tie-in,” Roden explained. I-tri alum Diane Aguilar is heading to Penn State this fall to study aerospace engineering. She said i-tri gave her the support and confidence she needed to pursue a course of study in a traditionally male-dominated field. Asked about the challenges of working profession generally commanded by men, Kimberly Barbour, a Marine Program Manager for Cornell University, answered, “Pursue your passion, don't be intimidated, be resilient and persevere.” Offering another perspective, Gitte Pedersen stated, "I didn’t feel like I was breaking into a boys club," referring to her research and work in the genetics field. "I love working with intellectual people, whether it be men or women." Dr. Bonita London, a psychologist at Stony Brook University, advised, “Keep your options open, be curious, explore life and you'll find your path.” She studies psychosocial mechanisms that impact success among historically underrepresented groups. Brooke Phillips, a PhD candidate at Stony Brook University in the Geosciences Department added, “You're carving a path for other women in the future!" Her research focuses on the evolution of the Martian surface. Dr. Nancy Hollingsworth rounded out the panel discussion. She has a Ph.D. in genetics and started her own research laboratory at Stony Brook University in 1994. Hidden Figures showcases three ingenious African-American women at NASA during the Space Race. Overcoming racism and sexism, they launched John Glenn into the stratosphere, serving as a victory for the United States. Through their work in science and mathematics, these three inspirational woman shocked the world in a flabbergasting a c h i e v e m e n t . H o w e v e r, t h e y operated in obscurity until Hidden Figures made them famous, over 50 years later. Closing out the event, Barbour stressed, "You have to set your sights on something despite the obstacle, and just go for it."

Electeds Enraged By Trumpcare Passage By Kitty Merrill
Last week’s passage of the revised American Health Care Act spurred a flurry of reactions from New York State elected officials, from the governor to the East End’s state assemblyman. The bill passed the House of Representatives last Thursday by a narrow 217 to 213 vote margin.

just yesterday, Iowa’s last major insurer through the ACA, Medica, threatened to remove itself unless something is done to stabilize the markets. Imagine no option at all for an entire state? None! There are too many other examples of how this law is deeply flawed.” He continued, “We all agree healthcare must be improved and that doing nothing is not an option . . . One of my top priorities in Congress has been to improve healthcare in America. I have always supported the repeal and replace of Obamacare and a smooth transition to a better reality that will improve affordability, access, quality of care and options, while continuing to cover Americans with preexisting conditions and allowing children to stay on their parent's policy.” The American Health Care Act provides relief from billions of dollars of crushing taxes and mandates enacted under the ACA, Zeldin contends. Additionally, the bill repeals the individual and employer mandates, taxes on prescription and over the counter medications, health insurance premiums and medical devices. “This bill would help Americans access healthcare in ways they previously could not, by increasing competition in the marketplace and offering plans that will be tailored to individual needs,” h e s a i d T h u r s d a y. H e c a l l e d the Collins-Faso Amendment, also known as the Property Tax Reduction Act, “the single greatest act of fiscal relief ever provided to the County of Suffolk and its taxpayers.” That’s the one that shifts the local share of Medicaid costs to the state. “There are so many outright lies attacking this legislation,” Zeldin asserted. The social media campaign claiming that 310,000 NY-1 residents with pre-existing conditions would lose their health care under the AHCA is, said Zeldin, “not within a million degrees of accurate . . . The lies about this bill are being perpetuated by the same people who told us if you liked your plan, you could keep your plan, if you liked your doctor, you could keep your doctor, and that premiums under the ACA would decrease by $2,500 per family.” For the congressman, passage of the bill is “an important step in a multi pronged effort to improve health care in our country.”

Sabin Family Fellows: 16 Brilliant Minds By Kitty Merrill
They number 16 now, and study the like of DNA, RNA, cancer treatments and evolution. Last week the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center named eight innovative researchers to the second annual class of Andrew Sabin Family Fellows at a luncheon last week attended by Andrew Sabin, of East Hampton, and representatives of the Andrew Sabin Family Foundation. T h e A n d r e w S a b i n Fa m i l y Fellowship Program provides $100,000 in funding per fellow over two years through a $30 million endowed gift to encourage research creativity, independent thinking and high-impact cancer research. “It’s been exciting to observe the inaugural eight fellows as their research has progressed during the first year of the Andrew Sabin Family Fellowship Program, and we’re equally impressed with the 2017 class,” said Sabin, who has served on the MD Anderson Cancer Center Board of Visitors since 2005. “The program now nurtures 16 brilliant minds focused on finding an end to this terrible disease. My family looks forward to seeing their impact grow
exponentially over the coming year. We’re proud to know our gift already is making a difference for people suffering from cancer.” The awardees and their areas of focus are impressive. Margarida Albuquerque Almeida Santos, Ph.D., assistant professor, Epigenetics and Molecular Carcinogenesis is researching the role of DNA repair factors, or genome guardians, in promoting tumors, while Swathi Arur, Ph.D., associate professor, Genetics, studies the interplay of RAS signaling and small RNA biogenesis enzymes in promoting tumor progression and metastasis. Boyi Gan, Ph.D., assistant professor, Experimental Radiation Oncology, will focus on the role of energy sensing and metabolism in cancer as Clifton Fuller, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor, Radiation Oncology, hones in on developing and implementing “Big Data” approaches to imaging methodologies to treat head and neck cancers more effectively. Chad Huff, Ph.D., assistant professor, Epidemiology, is working to understand human evolution and the genetic basis of disease
through statistical, computational and population genomics. Eugene Koay, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor, Radiation Oncology, is developing and validating a method using CT scans to measure response in pancreatic cancer patients Andrew Rhim, M.D., assistant p r o f e s s o r, G a s t r o e n t e r o l o g y, Hepatology and Nutrition, will examine how precancerous pancreatic lesions transform into cancer and how tumors become resistant to therapy through mutations, while Jennifer Wargo, M.D., MMSc, associate professor, Surgical Oncology and Genomic Medicine, is delineating the role of the gut microbiome in modulating responses to cancer immunotherapy. T h e A n d r e w S a b i n Fa m i l y Fellowship program awards up to eight cancer research fellowships annually to support research that pushes the envelope in four categories: basic science, clinical, physician-scientist and population and quantitative science. Funding over two years frees young researchers to pursue potentially practice-changing science rather than spend the bulk of their time writing grants.
The inaugural Andrew Sabin Family Fellows, announced in April 2016, say the funds have enabled them to: • “Look more closely at the dark region of human genomes, to identify genetic variants that cannot be identified by current technologies but are particularly important to tumor development.” ― - Ken Chen, Ph.D., Bioinformatics and Computational Biology • “Conduct a project that examines the use of high flow oxygen and air to relieve shortness of breath, or air hunger, in cancer patients, a common symptom for which few treatment options are available.” - David Hui, M.D., Palliative, Rehabilitation and Integrative Medicine and General Oncology • “Pursue an exciting new project that will involve applying single-cell DNA sequencing technologies to breast cancer patients to understand how individual tumor cells evolve resistance to chemotherapy.” Nicholas Navin, Ph.D., Genetics and Bioinformatics • “Further my study of DNA replication fork protection at indepth molecular and biological levels CONTINUED ON PAGE 46.

Plans for East Hampton Town’s recently opened Amagansett Comfort Station appear to reference the public road the Bistrian family maintains the town agreed to open, giving access to their land to the north.
A Town And Its First Family Head To Court By Rick Murphy
A simmering dispute between E a s t H a m p t o n To w n ’ s m o s t powerful family and the town’s ruling body is headed to court. At issue is one of the last and most pristine farm fields in the town, 33 acres situated directly behind Amagansett’s Main Street. If the two warring factions can’t find common ground, the parcel will likely be developed. Yet both sides agree it should be purchased by the town and preserved. As is almost always the case, it
will ultimately come down to money – unless the court proceedings go forward to a conclusion. In 1971 Peter Bistrian, the family patriarch, sold 2.3 acres of land to the town for $13,000. The land was used to construct the parking lot that sits behind the stores on Main Street. That much is undisputed. The town held a referendum on October 15, 1970, and voters approved the purchase. According to Proposition One on the ballot that day, voters were also
asked to approve an additional land transfer between Bistrian and the town, and “acquire approximately three acres for future access road north and west to Windmill Lane,” that would eventually be used to build a road through the farm. That property has been well defined in numerous documents, renditions, and surveys. Looking north from Main Street, it runs due north from the back of the parking lot and turns west midway through the farm, exiting on Windmill Lane across the street
from Schellinger Road. It is at the center of this dispute.
Development Planned The Bistrians, stymied in their attempts to sell the property to the town, now intend to develop it. The access road referenced above but never constructed is the only way to get in and out of the farm. Bonnie Bistrian Krupinski, Peter’s daughter, is one of the property owners now. The property is “checkboarded” between assorted Continued on Page 23.

After 30 Years, Local Attorney Takes Plunge By Rick Murphy
Jeff Bragman isn’t from New York City. “Everyone thinks that,” he said the candidate for town board with a laugh. That’s probably because the brash, hard-hitting attorney doesn’t mince words and like most New Yorkers, he tells it like it is. “I came to Manhattan to be a prosecutor,” he said matter-offactly. Actually, Bragman hails from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. He attended boarding school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey before attending Yale. He earned his law degree at Emory. He fulfilled his initial ambition, working for Robert Morgenthau in the New York City District Attorney’s Office. “There’s nothing like New York, anywhere,” he commented.
But like so many others, the Hamptons beckoned, and after a summer in Amagansett the wheels were in motion. “There was this big white dog who slept in the middle of the road and you’d have to get out of the car to wake him.” Bragman, smitten, relocated to East Hampton in 1985. “This is a real community with real people. A lot of big money people come here and they are not used to being told no.” Bragman has never indicated a desire to seek public office, but his law practice has kept him close to the fray. ”I’ve been involved in town issues for 30 years,” he said. “It’s not a TV show or a brand name. It’s a real town.” Bragman has been in the forefront of many controversial zoning and planning issues, so he
is used to the public eye. “I believe in public participation. People have different points of view. A public hearing isn’t just a formality.” Bragman said oftentimes a speaker at a public hearing would bring clarity to an issue. “I’m a very prepared lawyer, but you learn something from the people almost every time. It’s a team sport.” Bragman views the town board in that manner. “There’s the voice of the public, but also a component of leadership. It’s like a sailboat - people are leaning in different directions.” The biggest issue to emerge thus far in the race is the Deepwater proposal to build wind turbines in the ocean off the coast of Montauk. Local fishermen are squarely against it. “I don’t have a conclusion about it,” Bragman said. “Generally, I’m in favor of wind power, of course. I need to know more about it. I know there are some concerns.” Bragman, a Democrat, is the party leadership’s choice to run for the town board along with the incumbent Kathee Burke-Gonzalez. However, Zachary Cohen, a former candidate for town supervisor, has signaled his intention to run a primary battle for

a place on the ballot. “I’d rather not deal with it. I’m probably the underdog,” Bragman said. “But it is what it is.” As for the general election deteriorating into a Trump bashing fest, Bragman said his concern is for the local community. “As Tip O’Neill said, ‘All politics is local.’ You can talk about ideology all you want but when the rubber hits the road you have to fix the traffic light.”

Police Nab Deli Bandit Riverhead Police said they arrested the man who robbed the Polish Town Deli on Pulaski Street May 2. Patrick Degori, 57, broke into the store around 5 AM, according to information obtained by police. He was taken into custody Monday and charged with third degree burglary and is being held awaiting a court date next week. Phony Robbery Revealed When an employee of the Guess Factory Store at Tanger Mall told Riverhead Town Police back in December that he was robbed while opening the store at 6 AM one morning last December something about his story didn’t ring true. On May 3 police revisited the employee, Thomas Whitson, 23 of Mastic Beach, but this time they arrested him and charged him with making up the story. Whitson himself stole the money and that it wasn’t the first time, police alleged. A month earlier he allowed two individuals to leave the store without paying for items they took. Whitson was charged with Grand Larceny in the third degree and falsely reporting an incident.

Mea Culpa From Armstrong John Tyler Armstrong, an East Hampton Town Trustee charged with DWI, has issued a public apology. “I'm deeply sorry and regretful about the events of April 29,” he wrote. “I'm taking it seriously and will make it up to the community however I can. We have so many important things to work for and to protect here; so I intend to keep serving our town in my fullest capacity, and I will continue to strive to achieve my goals. Like any humbling situation, this can be viewed as either a setback or a new opportunity for learning and growth, and I prefer the latter.” East Hampton Town Police said Armstrong was spotted speeding and swerving around 3 AM April 30 on Cedar Street. They said the 30-year-old was stopped near Fieldview Lane and failed a field sobriety test.

That means if a developer is permitted under zoning to build 30 units and builds those 30 units, he is required to provide three affordable housing units or the financial equivalent thereof. However, if he opts to build 29 units
Southampton Town Councilwoman Christine P. Scalera is working to close a significant loophole in the Long Island Workforce Housing Act.

That makes them undeniably, extremely valuable on the open market. “We have had two appraisals,” s a i d To w n S u p e r v i s o r L a r r y Cantwell. “The asking price has gone up. The difference is enormous.” According to scuttlebutt, the latest appraisal came in around $21.5 million. The Bistrians are asking between $32 and $34 million, sources say. “We want it preserved, but that doesn’t mean we can misappropriate funds,” Cantwell said. Which is all well and good with the Bistrians. “We’ve invested our lives in this community. We want to do the right thing. But we’re at a crossroads,” Krupinski said. The family is angered the current town leadership refuses to acknowledge the existence of the unopened road on the parcel. The saga began in 1962, when the town, realizing the need for off-street parking for the shops on Main Street, began discussing possible solutions. In 1967, according to court filings, the town began to approach landowners who had parcels behind the stores. Peter Bistrian, meanwhile, was interested in obtaining land to link his farm north of the shopping district to Main Street. He bought six acres that abutted the rear property line of some Main Street stores from the Eichorn estate.
Parking Lot In 1971 Bistrian sold part of the property to the town for a parking lot with the stipulation that a road be built from Main Street, through the parking lot and onto the Bistrian property, providing access to Main Street from the Bistrian parcel. Over the years the Bistrians purchased more and more of the land behind the stores

The 33-acre parcel owned by the Bistrians that sits to the north of Main Street in Amagansett is currently landlocked. The family is suing East Hampton Town, stating the municipality agreed to build an access road.
until they owned over 33 acres. Peter Bistrian conveyed ownership of the land that the access road was to be built on to the town so the municipality could build and service the road. According to court papers and newspaper articles the town and the Bistrians engaged in numerous discussions over the years about the land. A front-page article in the East Hampton Star on February 28, 1970, references a discussion wherein Town Supervisor Eugene E. Lester Jr. acknowledges “a 66-foot right of way that will serve as an exit to Windmill Lane” and another 43-foot right of way that would connect Main Street with the land north of the parking lot. As recently as 2016 the town attempted to buy development ri g h ts to the f a r m , but wa s rebuffed. “At no time did the town repudiate the Petitioners Rights to access Windmill Lane via the road the town had promised to deliver,” the suit maintains. In fact, in January, 2013, the town seemingly acknowledged the unopened road on an application to the Suffolk County Department of
Health, utilizing the square footage when calculating the density load for the public restrooms that were to be constructed in the parking lot. That project went forward and has been completed. East Hampton, under many other administrations, has locked horns with the Bistrians in the past, most notably when the family wanted to develop a golf course on Abraham’s Path and S pr ings Fir epla c e Ro a d. T he application drew intense scrutiny from the planning board – too much, Bonnie and her brother Barry Bistrian argued. The Planning Board told the Bistrians to prepare an environmental impact statement. A y e a r l a t e r t h e 10 0 0 - w o r d document was filed. The board rejected it, calling it “shoddy,” stalling the project indefinitely. The town was concerned that water pumped from the ground to irrigate the golf course would draw dangerous contaminants from the dump next door. In voicing those concerns the town inadvertently gave the Bistrians fodder for a lawsuit – that the
town’s negligence impacted the value of their adjacent property. The Bistrians sued. Their l a w y e r, Wi l l i a m E s s e k s o f Riverhead, eventually withdrew the application to build a golf course and told the family that it did not require approval, that he had unearthed a 1978 document that in his opinion gave the family the right to build without further approvals. He argued that a “conceptual approval” had been granted then, and since the family had cleared a large part of the parcel, it had established a “vested interest” in the project. The town attorney reluctantly agreed. Now, 40 years later, the Bistrians think they are holding another pat hand as they once again take the town to court. Cantwell wants to make the Bistrians prove the road exists. The town will not take steps to install it until ordered by the court to do so – or until a deal is made to break the impasse. It is a serious game of Russian roulette. If the road does in fact go in, “I think the property will be worth $40 million,” Krupinski said.

School Board’s $10 Million Stash Worries Neighbors By Rick Murphy
A relentless drive by Cedar Street neighbors to make the East Hampton School District back off from a plan to build an industrial garage and parking complex near their homes seemed to be bearing fruit. The school board agreed to discuss purchasing a parcel of town-owned land on nearby Springs Fireplace Road to move the depot there – the busses are currently housed in a crowded facility on Route 114, but the rent has increased sharply. Any hope that the school district was working resolutely to resolve the issue abruptly ended on April 7, the neighbors charge. That morning the board called a special meeting at 10 AM. The meeting was “poorly noticed,” the neighbors said, and there was no one in the audience. “Our Cedar Street Committee believes this was by design,” said Paul D’Andrea, a critic of the plan. “The board is trying to do an endrun around due process in pushing for funding for the bus depot and fueling and repair facility they want on Cedar Street.” At the meeting the board voted to build a $10 million reserve fund “to be spent over 10 years.” The
matter will be put forth to the public on Tuesday. And though Superintendent Rich Burns said the money would be used as “a savings account,” critics fear it will be used to construct the garage complex now dubbed “The Garage Mahal.” D’Andrea said it appears the school district’s quest to buy the town’s property on Springs Fireplace Road has stalled. East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said both sides have done or are in the process of doing their due diligence. “We provided the district with our appraisal, advised them of the parcel’s availability, and gave them the first opportunity to purchase it,” Cantwell said. At this point, the district is doing its own environmental review, though the town has reclaimed the former dumpsite and the Department of Environmental Conservation has signed off on it. The neighbors feel the Cedar Street site is fraught with peril. They attorney, Jeffrey Bragman, said the presence of a Suffolk County Water Authority well a few hundred yards away is “a big deal.” The garage, which by definition would have contaminants on site, could

“endanger the drinking water of thousands of people,” Bragman said. D’Andrea said a recent Environmental Impact Statement giving the Cedar Street site a clean bill of health is, “a joke. They pay consultants to tell them what they want to hear.” He complained that the traffic
study commissioned by the board consisted of data gathered in less than one day, during the winter, when it began snowing and the Middle School closed early. Predictably, the traffic study concluded the proposed facility would have little effect on Cedar Street traffic.

Archie Comic Memorabilia In Montauk By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Nancy Silberkleit’s Archie Comic Memorabilia will be on display at the Montauk Library throughout the month of May. Silberkleit, an East Hampton resident, is the Co-CEO of Archie Comics. Through the exhibit Silberkleit poses an anti-bullying message to visitors. “I feel it is very important for folks to be involved in an activity, a hobby, even if it’s the art of being a collector,” said Silberkleit. She believes that when a child encounters a bully they feel powerless. If they are able to turn to something they are interested in, while it may not solve the problem, it does help build self esteem. “With bullying comes isolation,” said Silberkleit. A child experiencing bullying can be left with loneliness and self doubt. Silberkleit, who also gives antibullying speeches throughout the country, believes that being a collector, whether it’s of comic books or something else, can build self confidence while helping a child to socialize. Through having this hobby, passion and creativity will become part of a child’s personality in a positive way. According to stopbullying.gov, “Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time.” Whether it’s cyber bullying or teasing in class, kids who are bullied may have lasting issues including depression and anxiety, a loss of interest in activities, health complaints, and decreased academic achievement.

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Tripoli Gallery in Southampton presents Benjamin Keating's debut solo exhibition "On View." The show will run from Friday through June 11th and feature "works on paper", "paintings," and sculptural maquettes, all made out of solid metal. In the studio, Keating starts with his familiar mediums of molten metal, and then looks to current objects in his life to deconstruct, only to later immortalize them. Getting his first taste in the arts through fantasized realities via his words as a poet, and then creating these worlds through playwriting in high school, his vision has always been keen. In 1998, Keating moved to Bridgehampton and started his first
studio practice where he worked and lived for two years. In “On View,” Keating will unveil selections of his most recent works. All are hand cast in aluminum and bronze, and one of a kind. Wax also becomes a major element in his work, though only temporarily, as he paints and sculpts with it on the canvases, or draws with it on the paper, carving poems or markmaking into its surface. Mini wood chairs are fractured and reassembled with frames and supports to hold them together before they too are frozen by hot metals and readied to endure the test of time. The exhibition will open w ith a recepti on for th e ar ti st on Saturday from 6 to 8 PM.

Reconstructed Bra Fashion Show By Jessica Mackin-Cipro The seventh annual Reconstructed Bra Fashion Show and Auction to benefit Lucia’s Angels and the Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital will be held on Thursday, May 18, at the Southampton Social Club, starting at 7 PM. After seven years of fashion shows, artists are still coming up with new and creative ways to reconstruct bras into wearable works of art. “We’ve had very few repeated themes on bras. But, even so the materials, look, and/or approach for each has been so vastly different,” said Stacy Quarty, co-chair of the Bra Auction, President of Lucia’s Angels and VP of Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital. Each year new artists from the East End are asked to donate their materials, time, and talent. Bra titles include The Swatch Bra, Queen of Hearts, Treasure Chest, Pink Elephants, and Bountiful Blooms, to name a few. Lucia’s Angels helps families on the East End that are struggling with late stage women’s cancers. This includes breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer. Created in memory of Lucia Terzi Bagan, a giving woman that was loved by many, the foundation provides help to those in need, funding everything from housecleaning and babysitting, to helping with rent and health insurance premiums. According to the Lucia’s Angels website “It was Lucia’s wish that other women and their families could have that same kind of love and support through their toughest times.” “That’s what Lucia’s Angels is. Trying to provide all we can for the people that really need the help,” said Quarty in a video on the foundation’s homepage. Susan Barry Roden, President of Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital and VP of Lucia’s Angels, said the Coalition’s mission is “to raise awareness about the importance of early detection. If a women doesn’t have health insurance or is under insured we can get them a free mammogram, pap smear, and clinical breast exam.” At this year’s Reconstructed Bra Fashion Show models will walk the
runway in the uniquely designed bras, created by artists and supporters. The event features 20 reconstructed bras worn by local models and auctioned off live.
Guests will also have the chance to bid on any of eight luxury “Bucket List” trips that are also up for auction. Destinations include Napa Valley, Greece, Amalfi Coast, New Delhi,

Broadway Reporting From
By Isa Goldberg
For its graceful legion of dancers, and for the return of Bette Midler to Broadway, let us say, “Hello, Dolly!“ In this revival of the popular show, by Michael Stewart (book) and Jerry Herman (music and lyrics), director Jerry Zaks and choreographer Warren Carlyle recreate the flow of song, story and motion that distinguished Gower Champion’s original choreography and direction. These dancers are literally on their toes, and the pageantry and whimsy they bring to this revival recreates one of the best-staged musicals of all time. In every respect, it’s a beautiful show to watch. Santo Loquasto’s murals and scrims are in and of themselves classics of American landscape painting. And his costumes are just as eye popping and camp. Speaking of camp, Bette Midler plays Dolly Levi with natural aplomb. She‘s even a tad understated at first, becoming full blown fantastic in her second act numbers, “So Long Dearie” and, of course, “Hello, Dolly!” Indeed, the second act is a delightful rally of raucous interludes. My favorite is the restaurant scene, with the waiters in their white gloves and red tails. Staged like a French farce, the action flows seamlessly as the crowd of waiters and keystone cops lead patrons into the judge’s chambers for disturbing the peace, along with other infractions. Meanwhile, Dolly continues to gnaw, eagerly and without interruption, on a turkey bone, the size of which evokes the image of a pre-historic creature. As the object of her romantic quest, Horace Vandergelder, David Hyde Pierce appears utterly at ease. At moments, he aptly makes fun of himself and the image we have of him as staid, overly reasoning, and a bit tart. It all comes out when he reiterates the word, “no,” as convincingly as a three-year-old and with equally piercing insistence. As the prospective match for Vandergelder, Kate Baldwin portrays the milliner Irene Molloy. Reputed to be something of a witch, Baldwin belies the rumor with a voice so sweet and rich that we are instantly seduced. It’s an entirely delightful cast with the likes of Gavin Creel and Taylor Trensch as the two youthful sidekicks. And Jennifer Simard brings comic panache to her role as Dolly’s trashy girlfriend. Whether or not it matters, Dolly is a show with a moral, albeit humorously stated. “Money,” The Matchmaker claims, “is like manure. It’s not worth a thing unless it’s spread around encouraging young things to grow.” Be that as it may, this production has the most age diverse cast, that I’ve seen in a Broadway musical of late. And many of its more senior members are chorus dancers. Still an uplifting show and this, a delightful revival!
(& Sometimes Off)
Bandstand A new American musical, Bandstand, raises the stakes on a storied cliché. That a bunch of guys start a band, and fulfill their dream of becoming famous seems to be as hackneyed as it can get. But Richard Oberacker and RobTaylor, the creative duo who are making their Broadway debut here, bring an innocence and vitality to a story every boy and girl imagines, and which the show’s creators run with, to the heights. Set in 1945 in the aftermath of WWII, our American veterans return home to desperate lives. While the human drama is contemporary, the music is of the period in which it’s set. And what a pleasure it is to hear Oberacker’s compositions - a mix of blues, jazz and swing, with some brassy sounding horns lifting out of the bass and drums that play the rhythm. Certainly the music is one of the production’s highlights. These songs carry a sensibility and a texture that distinguish themselves from many a new musical. Another is Andy Blankenbuehler’s gorgeous choreography. The Tony Award winning choreographer of Hamilton creates a kind of jazz ballet that reveals the nightmares of war, as well as daily life - especially the dances at the clubs they perform. Graceful, with reach and snap and speed and masculine strength, it’s dance that tells the story here. With this new work, he demonstrates a diversity of style that is unusual, given that choreographers, the likes of Bob Fosse and Jerome Robbins, are famed for bringing distinct styles of dance to the Broadway musical. Blankenbuehler also directs the production, bringing together an ensemble of distinct characters, each of whom transforms through the course of the story. As Julia Trojan, the widow of an American soldier, who becomes the lead singer in the band, Laura Osnes does a remarkable acting job. Having played the ingenue in many a musical from Grease to Cinderella, Osnes has always been in fine voice and delightful form. Here, she transcends those generic roles to create a character who thrives through the loss of innocence. A traumatized army veteran, Donny Novitski (Corey Cott), starts the band, and wins the girl, in a complex twist of fate. Surprisingly strong, musically and emotionally, Cott is really dynamic. The other guys in the band each display the scars of war through their music, which also tells their story, of sacrifice and honor. Bandstand is a laudable work, steeped in classical American music and dance styles, with a nostalgic sense of story telling that still requires attention.
Hello, Dolly!
Come From Away So this guy goes shopping and the check out lady says, “Thank you for shopping at Walmart. Would you like to use my house for a shower?” Mind you, this comes as no surprise. The guy says yes, and the checkout lady finishes her shift and brings this complete stranger into her home. In Come From Away, the new Broadway musical, the apocryphal events we see took place on one day in 2001, when 7000 people arrived by plane in an emergency landing in Gander Newfoundland, nearly doubling the native population. The date was 9/11. As reported, Come From Away appears to be the season’s sleeper. Not exactly the hottest ticket from the get-go, this little musical with a handful of actor/singers, in everyday clothes (costumes by Toni-Leslie James) is staged on a bare bones, albeit multifunctional, set (Beowulf Boritt). Still, it seems to have all of the production values New York audiences want to embrace. While tragic events were taking
place in other parts of the world, these everyday denizens demonstrated the humanity to embrace the stranded, frightened plane-wrecked passengers who landed on their doorstep. In fact, their actions reflect a notion of populism that is unlike the current wave. Neither aggressive toward the other nor protective of themselves, they demonstrated virtue beyond all else. In 90 minutes, without an intermission, we get to know the passengers and Newfoundlanders. Among them, Jenn Colella plays American Airline’s first woman captain, and Chad Kimball portrays both a local Newfoundlander and an illustrious passenger. In fact, all of the actors play a multitude of roles – just as most people, in most communities, also do. Kelly Devine brings an easy buoyant charm to the choreography, and Christopher Ashley’s direction leaves this humble tale in the hands of an earnest ensemble. But what is most refreshing are Irene Sankoff ‘s and David Hein’s book, music, and lyrics, which reveal grace in simplicity, and good faith in humankind.

Editorial On Mom In this edition Indy staffers honor their mothers in celebration of Mother’s Day on Sunday. Here is what other famous kids had to say about their mothers. “I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.”~ Abraham Lincoln “My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.”~ Mark Twain “There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing.”~ Billy Sunday “I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you’re going. That’s family values.”~ Al Sharpton “My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.”~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg “My mother was a pediatrician, and she kept busy hours. I learned from her you could pack a lot into the day. Every minute had to count, and multitasking was a given.”~ Risa Lavizzo-Mourney “Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is the sweet flower of love.”~ Stevie Wonder “When we recognize the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection, love is born.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Independent VOICES
Vote Tuesday Dear Editor, Please bring back the Southampton School District Calendar to the way it was before holidays were wiped out. Name their names. Surrounding school districts do. No local districts have a generic calendar but us. Support Jacqueline Robertson and SunHe Sherwood-Dudley, the only candidates that "do not want to lose the holidays." JOAN TUTT
Is it just me?
I used to hate how my mother would scold me all the time. “Your skirt’s too short. Don’t stay out so late. Don’t hang out with those wild kids. Don’t do this. Don’t do that.”
A Pig In A Poke Dear Editor, One meaning of pig in a poke is something that is sold or bought without the buyer knowing its true nature or value, especially when buying without carefully inspecting the item beforehand. This fits the Deepwater Windmill Project that proposed placing 12 windmills off the coast of Montauk. Even though the project reduces some environmental concerns, it creates potential damage to prime fishing areas, our fishing estuaries, the fishing industry, unknown cost and maybe more. Would you buy something that you haven’t thoroughly investigated, especially, if it is a long-term financial commitment? Remember Shoreham? Caveat Emptor! STUART JONES

Insight
Ed Gifford Write In Pat Dear Editor, On Tuesday, May 16, residents will be going to vote for candidates for their local school boards. In Springs, polls will be open from 1 to 9 PM and I urge all Springs residents to write in Patrick (Pat) Brabant’s name for the Springs School Board. As a local businessman, a member of the Spring Citizens Advisory Committee, and a parent of Springs School children, Pat’s voice will be critical on the Board. The school board is proceeding with a very large and expensive addition for which the board has not adequately justified a need. In addition, the school board recently approved a contract for a new school superintendent. At a salary of $198,000 ($8000 of which goes into a retirement fund) the contract is vague on the superintendent’s total compensation package leaving out a dollar value for fringe benefits. Moreover, the contract
makes no provision defining the new “full-time” superintendent’s required work week. Since writing in a candidate’s name is not a typical procedure, voters need to mark as “write in” on their ballot and actually write in Patrick Brabant’s name. Any deviation from “Patrick Brabant,” such as “Pat Brabant,” will be considered a vote for another candidate. However, please check with school election officials at the polls to confirm the proper procedure for writing in a candidate’s name, to ensure your vote is properly recorded. CAROLE CAMPOLO

supports a golf course or not, a developer can build an environmentally-friendly golf course development without creating a Planned Development District (or PDD) -- a zoning vehicle unique to Southampton that allows a developer to increase density on a parcel. Yet Southampton continues to entertain an application from the developer of a proposed golf course PDD in East Quogue known as The Hills predicated on the bizarre argument that only increased density will allow the developer to utilize the scientifically-proven means to eliminate groundwater pollution. If such a "science" exists, then it is certainly available for use on any golf course development using standard zoning. The fact that The Hills developers allege they cannot use modern scientific technology unless they are allowed to increase density establishes an ugly precedent for every developer in the Town. Henceforth, every developer who wants to overbuild will only need to promise to use advanced septic systems. SUSAN CERWINSKI
Mother's Day: Not For Cows Dear Editor, Last week, The Washington Post published a major expose of the U.S. dairy industry concluding that mega dairies scam consumers into paying extra for "organic" milk that isn't. The timing, a few days before Mother's Day, could not be more appropriate. Dairy cows, world-wide symbols of motherhood, never get to see or nurture their babies. The newborn calves are torn from their mothers at birth and turned into veal cutlets, so the dairy industry can sell their milk. The distraught mothers bellow for days, hoping in vain for their babies' return. Instead, they are chained on a concrete warehouse floor, milked by machines, then impregnated artificially to renew the pregnancy and keep the milk flowing. When their production drops, around four years of age, they are ground into hamburgers. This Mother's Day, let's all honor motherhood and our natural compassion for animals by rejecting the dairy industry's cruelty. Let's replace cow's milk and its products, laden with cholesterol, saturated fats, hormones, and antibiotics. Let's choose delicious, healthful, cruelty-free plant-based milk, cheese, and ice cream products offered at our grocery store. EDWIN HORATH

What do you think of Fox dismissing Bill O’Reilly? Martina Melendez (left) Evan Wanag (right) Martina: After all the awful things he said about women, what are they doing giving him a $25 million getaway package? Evan: He’s so full of himself. He doesn’t deserve to be rewarded for saying things that are out-and-out discrimination. Christine Sciulli Twenty-five million dollars! Doesn’t that just encourage people to go out there and do the same thing?
Keri Christiansen I can tell you that I think it’s horrible. I can’t figure out why they gave him that kind of money. Maybe it was contractual and they didn’t have a choice. It certainly wasn’t deserved. Toi Bura Fox has destroyed America and thank God Bill O’Reilly is gone.

RICK’S SPACE Got Ants?
We do. On the kitchen counters, no less. This freaks Karen out to no end. Since I grew up in a 200 year-old house in Sag Harbor ants don’t faze me much. I got used to all kinds of crawly, slithery creatures (like my aunts), and ants are the most benign, especially the little black ones. The next size up are the big black ants (from the Blackum Antae family) which you can distinguish from their smaller cousins by the fact that you can feel them crawling all over you. (The smaller ants, you just imagine you have them in your underwear when in most cases you don’t.) Then there are the dreaded Red Ants (Communistae Antium) and finally the Red Ants we used to call Cow Killers in Sag Harbor because they could reportedly – wait for it – take down an adult bovine. Ants are “social insects,” which is why they drop by for a snack. The ones we have can apparently make themselves invisible (perhaps by putting a magic ring on their little fingers). We’ll clean the entire counter with bleach. Then we’ll take out a plate of food from the refrigerator and put it on the counter. Then we pick it up, and there are ants underneath it. Guys with one peanut and three shells have made a fortune doing a similar trick. They secrete pheromones – I don’t know what that means and I don’t like the sound of it. (I probably do the same thing, though.) Karen is convinced they are in our food – the ants, not the pheromones -- and I have to convince her they aren’t. But they are, of course. When we used to bring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the beach as kids, the sandwiches would always have ants in them. That’s life in the country — go to the beach, eat some bugs, get stung by a couple of wasps, pick up a tick or two, get infested with sea lice, and then go home. This is why people pay so much to live in The Hamptons. Despite their proximity to our food, however, Karen will not let me kill the ants. She blows them off the counter, as if they aren’t smart enough to crawl right back up. Here are a few observations I’ve made: Ants move in single file, all in the same direction. They never go back to where they came from – they just keep going forward until either you kill them, eat them, or they get
in your underwear or the peanut butter jar. Last summer I was at my computer when I felt a big black ant crawling on my foot. I looked down and sure enough there was a procession. I followed the line – they were coming in a steady stream from under the front door, turned left into my room, and then went under the bureau. There were thousands of them. So I took a broom, opened the front door, and
www.indyeastend.com
swept them out, as many as I could. They never came back. I’ve never looked under my bureau to see what it was that attracted them. If a coin or a golf ball rolls under there, I leave it. The thing that lurks there and I have an uneasy truce. (Karen should know, though, that at any time it might snatch her and drag her under and she will never be seen again.) At my brother’s graveside ceremony the priest made a little speech and then asked us to remember each family member who rested there. As we read their names aloud, one at a time, he would raise his arms and say, “May his (her) soul rest in heaven, R-men” (They never say ‘amen’ like normal people.). Then he asked for remembrances of my brother. My mom recalled that he worked at the Catholic Church one summer until he came upon

one of those giant blankets of ants, a million of them swarming over a breadcrumb or something. He got fired after a priest saw him spray lighter fluid and set them ablaze on the steps of Saint Andrew’s. As my mother finished telling the tale the priest remained silent so I raised my arms and face toward heaven and said, “May their little souls rest in peace.” No one said anything. When it comes to ants, Karen must be made to realize it is either them or us. The only good bug is a dead bug -- except those served with peanut butter and jelly. The way I figure it, if you let the ants walk all over you, wives will thinking they can do the same thing. Rick Murphy is a six-time winner of the New York State Press Association Best Column Award.

Two Westhampton Beach Middle School seventh-graders are doing their part to help beautify their school and the community. Alexandra Fitt (left) and Fainne Sheehan (right) have taken it upon themselves to care for the flower boxes that sit outside the school’s entrance. Throughout the school year, the friends volunteer their time to plant seasonal flowers and care for them by watering them daily. “We just wanted to do something that would put a smile on someone’s face,” said Sheehan.

Tuckahoe School Tuckahoe’s eighth grade class participated in an annual trip to Washington, D.C. The students explored the Capitol Building and the National Archives Museum where they were able to see important documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. The students took an evening tour of the monuments and enjoyed dinner at the famous Carmine's Italian Restaurant. They completed their trip with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, the Natural History and American History Museum, the Air and Space Museum, and an evening boat cruise.

the Great East End Cleanup. Hampton Bays High School Science Research students presented their scientific findings at the school’s fourth annual Science Research Symposium on April 27. The 16 students, who are all enrolled in the high school Science Research program spent, in some cases, between three and four years working on their research projects.

Juniors Ava Bianchi, Mecca Brooks, Christina Coulton, Maryrose O’Connell, Domenico Pensa III and Jared Strecker. Sophomores Sydney Caldwell, Meghan Long and Caroline Oakland. Freshmen Kaylee Catena, Alexandra Macholz and Erin Murphy. As part of an intergenerational project, Hampton Bays Elementary School fourth-graders in Ms. Amy McNamera’s class are learning about the lives of senior citizens who participate in programs at the Hampton Bays Senior Center. For the project, students in groups took time to interview the seniors, asking questions about their childhoods, their schooling and adult life during three interviewing sessions. They will then write reports about the seniors they interviewed and present them at the senior center in the near future. The project is just one of many that students work on throughout the year that tie them to their community and its residents.
Riverhead School District Pulaski Street School science teacher Kristen Realander admired the experiments of the top three winners in this year's Pulaski Science Fair saying, "Pretty amazing, right? They did a great job. We had a number of excellent experiments, but these were outstanding." The three winning scientists in Pulaski Street School's science fair were sixth-grader Liam Levesque, whose experiment was entitled "Go, Go Lego Gears;” fifth-grader Jack McCormick, whose exploration of bacteria was entitled "Wash Your Hands;” and fifth-grader Caden Lesiewicz, who studied "Plasmolysis" by asking the question, "How does salt affect cells?" These young scientists will now enter their experiments in Brookhaven National Labs’ annual science fair. They have all entered experiments at Brookhaven while they were students at the Riley Avenue Elementary School. Judge Lori Hulse visited Riley Avenue students in the library during National Library Month, which is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) during the month of April. The ALA theme this year was “Libraries Transform.” Riley Avenue’s librarian Ms. Amelia Estevez-Creedon explained, "Because Earth Day and Arbor Day are also celebrated during the month of April, the students used some of their library time to focus on learning about the environment and ways to help the planet." Judge Hulse read A Good Trade by Alma Fullerton to the students. She also talked to the students about her profession as a judge, and the education required to be a lawyer.

Mother’s Day, 2017
The Moms Of Indy
Jan & Jessica Mackin By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Mother’s Day may just be once a year, but I like to take every opportunity I can to thank my gorgeous, loving mother, Jan Mackin, for all that she’s done. And if you are able to, you too should always remember to “Call your mother!” My mom has always told me that becoming a mother was the most natural thing she’s ever done. And she has never wavered from doing the job with grace and ease, always putting my sister and I first. Even when she worked late nights when I was young, she was always up bright and early in the morning, fresh faced and ready for the day, getting us ready for school. My mothers signature shoe is the wooden clog, so sleeping in was never an option in the Mackin house! I can’t thank her and my father enough for all of the lessons they taught me, like how to always treat everyone with respect, and to be inviting, giving, level headed, and to always laugh. I take pride in having my mother’s work ethic, or something that at least resembles it. No one has the work ethic and speed of my mother, she can multitask her
multitasks without batting an eye. As a child she always allowed me the freedom and acceptance to be the person I wanted to be, while still providing the structure to prepare me for life. As an adult she is still a guiding voice in my life and above all a best friend. She is also one of the strongest women I have ever known. She was supporting herself by the age of 16. At 16, my biggest worry was my SAT score, but even so I’ve always known I can deal with anything life sends my way because of my mother’s example. I could gush forever, but I’ll end by saying thank you! Jan Mackin, you are an amazing mother, a stunning and strong woman, loving wife, talented photographer, and all around boss lady. Thank you for the incredible life you’ve given us. To all of the many wonderful, caring, and beautiful-inside-and-out mothers of the East End, we honor you this Mother’s Day. And everyday. Thank you for all that you do. On this Mother’s Day, all of us at Indy would like to take a moment to honor our incredible mothers, with words and photos.
“My mom Mrs. Owen McGivern is an active interior decorator under the business name Joan McGivern Interiors. She has a classic style at age 85, adaptable to old and new East Hampton. She is familiar with NYC trends, Palm Beach, Rhode Island and Connecticut styles. We 30, 40, and 50-year-olds have a hard time keeping up with Joan and her companion Jim Oxnam’s three to five night a week dinner party schedule.” - Morgan McGivern
“My mother Peggy Jones Mackin was the absolute best in every aspect. Graceful, fair, respectful, honest, motivating, unconditional love and dedication to her family made the fabric of her personality. I send a kiss to heaven each day as I smile from the love she shared with us.” - James J. Mackin

Settlers, 17-0, Seek Perfection By Rick Murphy
The good news, for Port Jefferson fans, was that their team scored a run against mighty Southold last Wednesday, breaking a six-game shutout streak during which the locals outscored their opponents by a 55-0 margin. The bad news for Port Jefferson fans is that Southold scored 15 times in the same game. That’s pretty much the way things are going for this juggernaut that blends the best pitching in Suffolk County with a potent and deep offensive attack. Southold features three of the best starting pitchers in Suffolk. On this day Dylan Clausen, pitching on his home field, established early on he had command of all three of his vicious pitches, and the offense made it very clear that this is a team that keeps the pedal to the metal. Pat McFarland, another of the team’s trio of aces, does it at bat as well. He ripped three hits and scored three times. Doug Fielder also went 3-4 good for four runs batted in. Clausen, meanwhile, coasted, allowing only four hits while striking
out 11. Port Jeff is 7-9 on the season. The victory set the stage for one of the biggest games of the year the following day. Pierson/ Bridgehampton, in second place in League IX, came into Southold on a 10-game winning streak. The Whalers smelled upset and were ready to play. Once again, though, when going up against the Settlers reality quickly sets in: in baseball, momentum is only as good as that day’s starting pitcher, and the Settlers had Luke Hansen. The lefty gunslinger has been virtually unhittable of late. This time around he went six and two/ thirds innings, racked up 11 Ks, allowed only two hits, and did not walk a single batter. James Sherry, on the bump for the Whalers was almost as good. McFarland manufactured a run in the first inning: he walked, stole second and third, and scored on a wild pitch. That proved to be all the Settlers needed. Pierson is 13-4. Tw o m o r e g a m e s r e m a i n : Greenport (1-10) comes down the road to Southold today at 4:30, and the Settlers must travel to Stony

Brook tomorrow to seal the deal. The Bears are 4-8. In League VIII a three-way race for the title should go down to the final games of the season. Mattituck and Southampton (13-4), sit atop the league standings, and Center Moriches is only one game behind. The Tuckers absorbed a tough 2-0 loss at Babylon last Wednesday but rallied to defeat Hampton Bays 8-4 on the road Thursday. Kevin Mahon nailed down the victory in that one and Bryce Grathwohl, Jon Lisowy and James McDonald combined for seven hits and batted in seven runs. Southampton was nipped by
the league’s hottest team, Center Moriches (12-5), behind the pitching of Andy Auffaunt and the hitting of Brad Sakellarides, who drilled a three run dinger. A day earlier Jem Sisco pitched complete-game no-hitter with 12 strikeouts as the locals got by Hampton Bays 2-0. The Mariners play today at home against Mattituck with first place on the line. First itch is scheduled for 4:30. The locals close out the regular season tomorrow at Babylon tomorrow (9-8). Westhampton dropped two of three last week to fall to 7-8 on the season and were to play a threegame series with Harborfields (10-7). The finale is today at home (4:30 PM). The locals have to win two of the three to earn a playoff berth.
Lady Hurricanes Ready For The Playoffs By Rick Murphy
The Westhampton softball team is peaking at the right time. Last week the locals dispatched three opponents to improve to 12-4 on the season and nail down second place in League IX. More important, the Lady Hurricanes have secured a berth in the Suffolk Class A tournament: at this point the more wins, the higher the bracket seed. Thursday was an example of how the Lady Hurricanes mean business. They took on Southampton on the road and walloped the Lady Mariners 10-3. Angie Acampora, on the bump, went the distance and record nine strikeouts. Brooke Walker and Jess Ferrick provided the offensive fireworks. Walker went 2-for-4 with a double, triple, three RBIs two runs scored. Ferrick went 2-for-3 and lashed a triple. Southampton is 4-12 for the season. Last Wednesday at Hampton Bays the results were similar. Walker had a field day at the plate, lacing four hits in five at bats as the Hurricanes coasted to a 13-3 win. Ferrick earned the W. On May 1 Westhampton, playing at home, took down a hot East Hampton team 5-0 behind the pitching of Ferrick, who allowed
only three hits while striking out seven. East Hampton, which has experienced some down times after the departure of coach Lou Reale, has turned things around this season. The Lady Bonackers recovered from the loss to Westhampton by besting Hampton Bays at home the same day, 6-2, behind the dependable pitching of Sam Merritt. Merritt helped her own cause by slugging a home run. The victory gave Bonac a 7-9 mark with a game scheduled Monday against Southampton. A win then will set up a do or die game today against Shoreham-Wading River at home today at 4:30 PM. Southold/Greenport, 9-4 in League X, is playoff bound. The Lady Porters pounded Port Jeff 13-1 Thursday, assuring the team its first playoff game since 1997. The Lady Royals fell to 1-13 on the season. Things were a bit dicey for Mattituck – the Lady Tuckers traveled over to Shelter Island Thursday needing to win one more game. They did, blasting the Islanders 18-6. Grace Izzo threw a five-inning nohitter and Ashley Chew went 3-for3 for the winners. Shelter Island finished 0-12 for the season.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard
Life Jackets Save Lives – Yours! For many years, we referred to lifejackets as PFDs – Personal Flotation Devices. Jeesh, can the lawyers get over it? Not everyone in a life jacket s u r v i v e s , o n l y 15 o u t o f 16 . Conversely, if 16 go in the water without a life jacket, only one comes out. The other 15 died. Life jackets save lives. This column is about that.
Oh, they are also responsible for over half the fatalities, too. If you haven’t taken a boating safety class yet, or haven’t taken one in a long time, email me below and I will help you find one in your neighborhood. And, if you have been smart enough to take a boating safety class, remember this. You’re not alone out there.
The Statistics Boaters end up in the water for a variety of reasons but the two largest reasons – capsizes and falls overboard – comprise nearly 60 percent of all fatalities. Remember, for every 16 boaters that go into the water without a life jacket, only one comes out. The other 15 died. But you are experienced. Well, another statistic I’ve seen is this. Boaters who have over 100 hours of boating experience – and are 35 or older – and who have NOT taken a formal boating safety class account for over half of all boating accidents.
Drink Skills If you didn’t have your life jacket on when you went into the drink, you’re not getting it on, unless you try this idea, which I thank friend and colleague Captain John Konrad for detailing. Learn this 30-Second Lifesaving Skill! It’s easy to don a life jacket or inflatable vest in the cabin or cockpit. Just like a coat, you stick one arm through a hole, swing the jacket around your back, then stick your other arm through the other hole. However, this sequence of actions will be impossible to duplicate

in the water. Most of your body will be submerged with just your head and shoulders exposed above the sea surface. You must use a simple, little-known method to don any life jacket in the water. Practice this important skill in the comfort of your home. Train your crew. After two to three minutes of practice, most folks can do this in less than 30 seconds. Follow these five easy steps. 1. Grab the collar of the life jacket. Pull the life jacket close to you. Turn the jacket so that it floats with the front pointed toward the sky. Unclip all snaps and straps. 2. Open the life jacket all the way so that it lies almost flat on the water surface. Keep the collar close to you. 3. Thrust each arm as far as possible through each arm hole. 4. Raise both arms in a smooth, fast motion above your head and slightly back. 5. Fasten all snaps and straps. Practice this at home: ✔ Kneel down next to a table about chin height. ✔ Place the life jacket on top of the table. ✔ Follow steps 1 – 5 above. ✔ Practice until you can complete all steps within 30 seconds. ✔ Train your sailing crew.
What To Wear By Who? USCG regulations require a life jacket for every boater aboard. Kids under 13-years-old must wear theirs at all times.

But didn’t I make the point above that if you do fall overboard and you don’t have one on, it is pretty unlikely you’ll be able to get into one? Isn’t it too late then? Yes, yes, yes! So why only have the kids wear it? And all those kids, seeing dad not wearing one, are saying to themselves, “I can’t wait until I’m old enough not to wear one.” What a lesson you’re teaching, skipper. I’ll tell you a story that ought to bring the point home. One fine day while patrolling Moriches Bay, we came upon a family fishing in an open boat. It looked like there were children aboard and we couldn’t see any with life jackets on. As we approached, I heard the grandfather say to one of the kids, “Get down, the Coast Guard is coming!” Unfortunately for grandpa, sound travels well over the water and I heard it at the helm. As we came alongside, I gave the wheel to one of my crew and walked up to where our boats were closest together. All I said to grandpa was, “You ought to be ashamed of yourself.” We watched, without another word, as all the children out their life jackets on.
They Are So Bulky Come on, bunky, are you still using the ones from the Titanic? Modern life jackets come in many sizes, many colors and are as light as a feather. You can get them in “camo” mode for hunting. You can get ones that self-inflate if you do fall in. You can get them in matching colors! You can even get a children’s style that has a loop at the collar so you can scoop them up, one-twothree, if the tyke falls in! And don’t forget one for the old sea dog – and his pet. 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, and we will help you “get in this thing.”
