Hurricanes On The Horizon?

aircraft and the NOAA G-IV aircraft.

The sky last weekend was pregnant with that pre/post hurricane foreboding feel. Meteorologists warned beachgoers to be wary of rip currents, a common side effect of hurricanes. And, while the East End typically sees big storms at the end of summer or early fall, there are already two tropical storms brewing in southern waters. Hurricane season officially begins this month.

The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season is forecast to be less active than a year ago with the number of named storms and hurricanes near historical averages, according to an outlook by The Weather Company. A total of 12 named storms, six hurricanes, and two major hurricanes are expected this season, which matches the 30-year average (1981-2010) for the Atlantic basin. A major hurricane is one that is Category 3 or stronger on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. The Colorado State University Tropical Meteorology Project outlook headed by Dr. Phil Klotzbach calls for a similar number of named storms, with 11 expected. CSU forecasts fewer hurricanes this year compared to average, however, with four expected in the Atlantic basin.

The official Atlantic hurricane season began June 1 and runs through November 30. Occasionally storms can form outside those months as happened last season with January's Hurricane Alex and late May's Tropical Storm Bonnie. The first named storm will go by

the moniker Arlene. Subsequent storms will be christened Bret, Cindy, Don, Emily, and Franklin, and more down through the alphabet.

But don’t let Gert get your goat or Katia kill your chill or Rina render you trapped.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone recently reminded residents to make necessary preparations for the upcoming hurricane season as well as the potential impact of tropical cyclone threats. “The safety of our residents is our utmost priority in Suffolk County, and the unpredictable months during hurricane season are no exception,” he said. "The trained and dedicated professionals in our Office of Emergency Management are always reviewing and improving our emergency operations to ensure that we are able to communicate the most up-to-date information to our residents during the most critical moments.”

A strong personal preparedness plan is a key component for ensuring safety during a storm, according to Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services Commissioner Joe Williams. "Now is really the best time for residents to create a hurricane preparedness plan and ensure that you and your family are

best equipped to remain safe during this unpredictable time of year." Earlier this month the county executive attended the 2017 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration hurricane awareness tour at Long Island MacArthur Airport. Hurricane experts including National Hurricane Center director Dr. Rick Knabb, hurricane hunter mission specialist Warren Madden, and United States Air Force and NOAA crew members were on hand. Staff from county and local emergency management offices, non-profit organizations such as the American Red Cross, and personnel from the Upton, NY NOAA National Weather Service forecast office were also in attendance. The event concluded with onboard tours of a USAF Reserve WC-130 hurricane hunter

Forecasting hurricanes and coastal storms are an important part of the Suffolk County's preparation and response to an approaching storm. The county coordinates with federal, state, and local planning partners, including all towns and villages, to ensure streamlined planning efforts. The Suffolk County Office of Emergency Management also maintains a stockpile of critical emergency supplies such as ready-to-eat meals, bottled water, generators, and cots for shelters. Residents can also sign up to receive CodeRed notifications, which allows Suffolk County to rapidly communicate emergency messaging to the public. Residents interested in signing up for CodeRed notifications to creating a safety profile should visit the OEM tab at www. suffolkcountyny.gov.

Residents living in a flood zone should be prepared to evacuate and follow the direction of authorities in the event of an emergency. To see if you live in a flood zone, visit www.suffolkcountyny.gov and search the Shelter & Storm Surge Mapping Tool.

Hurricane Pet Preparedness

By Laura Field

This month marks the beginning of hurricane season, and you can never be too prepared, especially when it comes to your four legged friends. If a storm hits, make sure that your pet can be identified, and has a collar on at all times. Keep an emergency grab-and-go bag with pet supplies

near your own in case you have to make a quick getaway. Have extra food, water, and medication ready, and have copies of important pet records.

Lastly, make sure that you and your pets have a safe place where you can stay in the event of a disaster. For more advice and information visit suffolkspca.org.

Hilaria Baldwin: Illuminating A Path For Wellness

By Nicole Teitler

Hilaria Thomas Baldwin is a supermom of three, wife of SNL’s undoubtedly favorite Trump impersonator, Alec Baldwin, and career woman taking over the wellness industry in full force.

Her Instagram account reaches over 250,000 people, each family photo somehow more adorable than the last (what can we say, she has some cute kids!). But being a mom is much more than what’s perceived on the outside. Rather, like beauty, raising happy and healthy children is about what’s inside. “I’m very careful not to talk about weight issues with my children,” Baldwin explains. “I don’t feel like that’s appropriate at this age. I talk about being strong, and your hair growing long, being able to run really fast, sleeping well, and being in a good mood.”

Her attitude and lifestyle are what make this woman a perfect fit for this year’s Illumination Award at the Wellness Foundation’s 6th annual summer benefit being held Saturday. She co-founded Yoga Vida, a yoga studio located in Manhattan and Brooklyn and wrote The Living Clearly Method, accomplishments worthy of the Illumination Award, which is given to those lighting the wellness pathway for others.

“It’s such an incredible foundation. It’s right up my alley. Bringing awareness to health and health with children. I’m extremely honored that they thought of me,” Baldwin said.

FrIDAY

The Wellness Foundation is dedicated to empowering children and adults with the tools needed to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Their programs are guided by scientific information to optimize nutrition, exercise and stress management.

“We love to go to Mary’s Marvelous and get the little carrot muffin,” Baldwin admitted. “I look at their entire day and I think where are we going to have the treat portion. It’s not ‘oh, here’s a lollipop.’ Because what does that do to their body in terms of their behavior? And how does that affect my life later?” Aside from Mary’s, Baldwin and her family can be seen frequenting Provisions in Sag Harbor or the Second Nature markets in East Hampton and Southampton. Like the Wellness Foundation, she aims to cut time out of her day to help educate not only herself, but her children, about the importance of health.

“People have the best intentions … it comes from exhaustion and lack of education,” Baldwin offered, theorizing why some people don’t adopt healthy habits.

Instagram is very much trying to pull people up and creating a community,” she said. “I would always tell my students ‘My job is to have you outgrow me so you won’t need me anymore.’”

Education comes from all sorts of outlets, thanks to social media. As an expert in the field, Baldwin is proud to see the continued presence of healthy lifestyle motivation on Instagram but is weary on selfproclaimed gurus. “It’s really about changing the world … being an influencer on

Baldwin takes part in what she calls “sound moments,” anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes to do squats, walk around, anything to keep herself moving. Staying active for several moments throughout the day can sometimes be better than a single energy burst after hours of staying sedentary.

Fresh cashew mozzarella Caprese pops, BBQ jackfruit tacos with avocado, mango and hearts of palm, black rice sushi station serving watermelon “tuna” nigari, shiitake kale roll, beet cauliflower sushi roll, and a superfood salad bar are on the menu.

The event will be held at 10 James Lane in East Hampton. Tickets are $175 per person and can be purchased from www.wfeh.org or call 631-329-2590.

wife’s grandfather died. A woman came into the funeral parlor where he was lying in an open coffin and she started screaming the dead man’s name.

Jerry’s Ink

by Jerry Della Femina

DON’T EAT FOIE GRAS Are you as uncomfortable at cocktail parties and big charity events as I am?

You can usually find me in a corner, hiding. I’m just terrible at small talk. I’m not too good at big talk, either. I’m a walking disaster. Strange things seem to happen to me.

Years ago I attended one of those big Hamptons charity events and found myself under a crowded tent which was the size of Hampton Bays. I somehow got separated from my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, and I was walking around, totally lost.

A man whom I swear I have never seen in my entire life came over and said, “Jerry, you’re looking great!” Then he gave me the kind of hug you wouldn’t give anyone until at

least the third date. And then he said: “Stay healthy. Never eat foie gras.”

“Foie gras?” I said, thinking this was some sort of a code word or a weird dream I was having. “Foie gras!” he answered and walked off to hug and warn another stranger. What is with this hugging stuff ? It used to be, when I was a kid a million years ago, that the only time men hugged other men was at funerals. This was followed by an awkward conversation about the condition of the body lying there.

“I’m so sorry for your loss, but he (or she) looks very good.” Then would follow a conversation about what a great job the undertaker had done with the dead body. I remember that when my first

Then she screamed, “Look at him! Look at him! He looks so natural. He looks like he can get up and walk.”

That’s when I whispered, perhaps a bit too loudly, “If your grandfather so much as moves a muscle, I’m out of here.” In retrospect, it’s wiseass remarks like that which can ruin a marriage. As it turns out, I’m really at a disadvantage in large groups of people, be it a wedding or a funeral or a big-time Hamptons event. I’m inept at conversation. I don’t recognize anyone. At most of these events Judy walks next to me and whispers the names of people as they are approaching us. “That’s Jim and Mary. We were at a dinner party with them two weeks ago.” If I’m feeling frisky I might say, “Is that Jim or Mary with the mustache?” That’s when Judy says, “You are an idiot.”

That all showed up one night at a charity event when I ran into a woman whose name or face I couldn’t recall. Judy greeted her with a big hug and the woman said “Jerry” and turned her head to be kissed. I turned, tripped, kept myself from falling by accidently putting my hand on the woman’s breasts, and kissed her partially on

the lips and partially on her nose. When I get nervous, my kissing aim sucks.

Which brings me to my problem with double-kiss women. I was brought up at a time when, upon greeting a woman acquaintance, one would give her a single innocent peck on the cheek. Those women who were not interested in being kissed would, upon meeting a man, extend their hand and ward him off, settling for a soft, limp handshake.

But these days I’m dealing with the new, liberated, double-kiss woman. One night I was at a party and saw a woman I’ve known for years. The minute our eyes met she quickly turned her face.

Not having all that much confidence in my relationships with the opposite sex I immediately thought, “She hates me. She’s turning away from me.”

After the longest three seconds of my life it dawned on me that she wanted me to kiss her cheek. I stumbled forward and just barely brushed her cheek. That’s when she whiplashed her head and presented me with the other cheek. This threw my timing off and I fell against her and my kiss landed on her ear. I felt her gold earring on my lips, going into my mouth. “God,” I thought, “if she had turned any faster I might have accidentally swallowed her earring.” The thought of swallowing and possibly choking on an earring at a cocktail party – and the four glasses of wine I had consumed – made me giggle uncontrollably. “What’s so funny?” she said. Before I could answer, she snapped her head away from me. I was about to kiss her for the third time when I realized that she had dismissed me and was presenting her face for a kiss by another man. I went for my fifth glass of wine, determined that, for the rest of the night, I was not going to kiss another woman nor hug another man.

to vote for a different candidate. That was like giving the middle finger to her, to Valerie Smith. She can call me any name she wants. The people have voted her a new name -- loser.”

Sand In My Shoes by Denis Hamill

Hate Brought Out The Love All we talked about was Valerie Smith and we all voted against her. This hater brought a new unity to this community. The new N-word is “No.”

Last Friday, on Windward Way in the Hillcrest section of Southampton Village, the N-word -- the most toxic word in the American lexicon -- was redefined as a resounding “NO.” “No” steered the citizens from their handsome homes and down the leafy street and from similar working-class homes on scores of neighboring idyllic streets and they crowded the polling place at the culture center where the citizens, many of them black, used the most powerful loaded weapon any American citizen can wield. The ballot.

They voted no -- hell NO -- to a white racist named Valerie Smith who had poisoned their neighborhood with hate.

“I’ve been living here 47 years and no one ever called me that N-word name,” said Dorothy Pender, a home attendant who answered her doorbell on Saturday afternoon. “When a white woman moves in next door and decides to call young people on this block

SuNDAY

the N-word, you are disgusted. When you find out she’s also running for Town Trustee, it’s sickening. But you decide to do something about it. You make sure you vote NO to Valerie Smith.” Dorothy Pender invites you inside her lovely home, pausing to straighten a framed portrait of Rev. Martin Luther King hanging in the vestibule, a reflex gesture that symbolizes this election in microcosm as the citizens of Southampton straightened out what was wrong with this neighborhood picture after one bigot tilted Southampton off kilter.

June 21 2017

In a time when yet another nut with a gun shot down an American congressman on a small-town baseball field symbolizing America’s pastime because he disagreed with his politics, it was refreshing that in some civilized communities in small-town America like Hillcrest, the good citizens transformed the N-word into NO by choosing the ballot over the bullet. And won by trouncing the racist loser Valerie Smith who tallied just 49 votes.

“I got to the polls at 9:30 AM and met all kinds of friends,” says Lolita Pender. “All we talked about was Valerie Smith and we all voted against her. This hater brought a new unity to this community.”

The New N-word is “No.”

“It felt so good to go in there and see Valerie Smith’s name up there on the ballot,” says Dorothy’s daughter, Lolita Pender, 49. “It was good to run my finger down the list of candidates, pause near her name, and then go right by it

Her mother, Dorothy, said, “I met old friends at the voting place at night after work and we hugged and talked about this Smith lady, and we all voted against her. Valerie Smith tried to divide us with her N-word hate but she brought us together in love.”

Bessie Caviness who lives across the street from Valerie Smith said that she was one of the few black people to shake Valerie Smith’s hand at an emergency community

meeting in the playground at the end of Windward Way after news stories publicized her hate speech.

“People asked how I could shake her hand,” says Caviness, born and raised in the segregated American south before moving north to St. Albans, Queens, then Buffalo, and finally settling in Southampton.

“I did it because it was the Christian thing to do. As Michelle Obama said, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ The first time I shook Valerie Smith’s hand was when we met on the street on October 8th and I told her it was my birthday. She said it was her birthday, too. We shook hands and wished each other ‘Happy Birthday.’ Then all this evil N-word stuff came out and I was deeply offended, especially when I heard she had used it on young people. I remember what that feels like.” Bessie says she thought she had left those Jim Crow days behind in the segregated Hanes City, Florida, of the early 1960s.

“But for a sad few those hatefilled days are not behind us,” she says. “So I shook her hand after she made an unconvincing apology. I decided to be the bigger person and forgive her because it’s the Christian thing to do. I forgive. But I do not forget. On Friday I used that same hand I used to shake her hand to vote against Valerie Smith. I met all kinds of beautiful people at the polls who did the same. This neighborhood is more energized, united, and full of love than ever because we came together to reject one sad and lonely woman who thought hate would win. Well, it didn’t.” Because good American citizens redefined the N-word into a NO. denishamill@gmail.com

Saving Sag Harbor Cinema

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

It was announced this week that the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center’s anonymous angel donor is local and internationally acclaimed painter and sculptor Eric Fischl.

At press time there is nearly $3.65 million pledged to rebuild and save the iconic cinema that was lost in a devastating, multi-structure fire in late 2016. Six million dollars are needed by July 1 to greenlight the Sag Harbor Partnership’s project.

Independent/NK Architects/Croxton Collaborative Architects

On Friday evening Anna Chapman, Ronald Perelman, April Gornik, and Eric Fischl invited guests to learn about the Sag Harbor Cinema Project over cocktails at Le Bilboquet on the Long Wharf in Sag Harbor. Guests including Christie Brinkley, Rosanna Scotto, Nicole Miller, Donnie Detuch, Michael Lynne, Matt Lauer, Jay McInrerney, Katie Lee, and Jill Martin, came out to show their support. Sag Harbor Partnership president Nick Gazzolo and cinema executive committee member April Gornik spoke to guests about the project.

Fischl was the first to sign on in support of the project with a generous $1 million pledge and is now coming forward to speak about this project’s critical role in the cultural life of Sag Harbor and the East End. Other well-known supporters of the campaign include Billy Joel, Martin Scorsese, Andy Cohen, and Harvey Weinstein. As an avid supporter of the arts community, and lifetime New York City resident, Fischl feels passionately about the cause.

“When I saw that gaping hole in

MONDAY

the middle of my village, I felt that the void was now inside me. I felt I had lost access to the magical portal that had been right there, right there in the middle of my town that could take me anywhere,” Fischl expressed. The Sag Harbor Partnership is now in contract to buy the damaged theater from its long-time owner, Gerald Mallow. They will rebuild and create the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center with yearround education, outreach, and programming. “The arts have been a part of Sag Harbor since its earliest days, and unlike the other Hamptons, it has always been a maker of things valuable to an economy greater than its small borders. From building ships, weaving rope, making silverware and watchcases, building torpedoes for the war effort, and ultimately building components for our mission to the moon, Sag Harbor makes stuff – important stuff,” stated Fischl. “Eric’s gift is extraordinary in its generosity and its vision for the future,” said Susan Lacy, who heads the advisory board. Lacy is an Emmy-winning filmmaker and producer, currently at HBO and creator of “PBS American Masters.”

The historic cinema will retain all of its Art Deco charm and iconic sign. The cinema’s architects, Allen Kopelson and Randy Croxton, along with Digital Media Systems advisors, are working to make major improvements, which include state-of-the-art equipment and a completely new sound system. The ability to screen digital, 35mm, and even 16mm with astonishing resolution will deliver the viewing experience that the filmmakers intended. This is something that few art houses offer.

“Eric’s generous pledge has been absolutely critical to this campaign. His was the first, and is still the biggest donation,” commented Gazzolo. “Great cultural destinations, museums, theaters, and film centers don’t happen by accident,” he continued. Other heavy-hitters on the advisory board include Anne Chaisson, executive director of the Hamptons International Film Festival; Wendy Keys, filmmaker

“The cinema played such an integral role as part of the community, and I simply can’t let it leave. We all want to get it back, and I won’t give up without knowing we did everything we could to save something so precious to the nature of this town,” said Fischl.

As fundraising efforts continue, on Sunday, Sen in Sag Harbor will host “Sushi & Sake for the Cinema” from noon to 3 PM. The cost is $30 per person. There will be a silent auction that includes items from many local shops and vendors. To reserve a spot call Sen at 631-7251774 or email info@senrestaurant. com. The “BIG TENT: Party for the Cinema” event is scheduled for July 16 with all ticket sales and art auction proceeds going to the cinema rebuild. Total cost for the cinema purchase is $8 million, and the Sag Harbor Partnership needs to reach $6 million in donations and pledges by July 1. All funds will be collected by December 31. All pledges will be canceled and donations refunded if the campaign goal is not met.

New Yorkers Brace For Rate Increases

almost 50 percent rate increase in one year, and that’s on top of the additional rate increases that have come in previous years. Where’s the affordability in that?” Zeldin asked.

Obamacare may be the devil you know, but be prepared to be pay for your loyalty. The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, had many detractors in years past – enough to help elect Donald Trump to the US Presidency.

“I don’t know too many people who want to keep Obamacare the way that it is,” Thiele said. “The health exchanges have had problems from the beginning and they still do. The rate increases are a reflection of some of those problems.”

But when Trump and his Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed the American Health Care Act many citizens rebelled and rallied to keep the current health insurance system in place.

Last week New York State insurers revealed the proposed rate increases they are seeking and they are significant – enough to make many beleaguered middle-class families and small businesses shiver. The weighted average premium increase is nearly 17 percent, with some approaching 50 percent. That does not include out-of-pocket expenses; some plans do not even kick in until the insured pays a deductible that could be as high as $12,000.

CareConnect, a subsidiary of New Hyde Park-based Northwell Health, requested a 29.7-percent increase in the individual market and a 19-percent increase for small group plans.

The State’s Department of Financial Services must approve the increases before they become law. Whatever the final increases, New Yorkers are stuck with Obamacare for the foreseeable future. The AHCA is bogged down in the Senate, and President Trump reportedly is souring on it, according to an article on Politico dated June 13.

Worse, the non-partisan Office of the Actuary estimated outof-pocket costs for the AHCA — deductibles and copayments — would average 61 percent more than the ACA. So even though the sticker price for premiums would be lower than under the Obama-era law, what consumers actually pay

“I don’t know too many people who think Trumpcare as reflected in the House bill is the answer to those problems,” Thiele commented. “In fact, it is worse than the status quo.”

According to Politico, “Trump reportedly told a closed-door gathering of GOP senators that the NYS Assemblyman Fred Thiele, US Rep Lee Zeldin.

Single Payer System A proposal by State Assemblyman Fred Thiele to create a singlepayer system in New York State is apparently dead in the House after passing in the Assembly.

“This is just another example of how deeply flawed our current system is,” said US Congressman Lee Zeldin. ”It’s clear to anyone paying attention that the Affordable Care Act has been anything but affordable. It has resulted in higher premiums, higher deductibles, lost doctors, and cancelled policies, among many other challenges.”

With insurers leaving the marketplace and premiums soaring, small businesses and middle-class families are bearing the brunt of the additional cost of adding millions of New Yorkers who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford it, onto insurance roles. “Deductibles are so high many people now feel like they don’t even have insurance anymore.

structure that’s set up for failure,” Zeldin said.

A Fiasco

Thiele’s single-payer plan would have streamlined the process and cut through layers of red tape; patients could chose any doctor they wanted and the proposed plan would have included prescription drug coverage, laboratory testing, rehabilitative care and dental, vision and hearing care.

Zeldin said the ACA is a nationwide fiasco.

“One-third of the counties in our country only have one option left under the exchange, including several entire states. That’s not choice. That’s a monopoly.

“In New York State, the rate increases we are seeing follow as a result of the constant failings of the ACA. We continue to see these increases annually because insurers are attempting to navigate an everchanging marketplace with a rigid

“All too often, families are forced to face a cruel dilemma — pay for costly health care or put food on the table,” Thiele said. “Universal health care is the better choice and the right thing to do.”

Trump’s comments as reported in Politico, if accurate, bolster the contention held by many that he is comfortable with letting Obamacare suffer a slow death as

“Unfortunately, there has never been any effort to reach a consensus on health care in Washington. Republicans and Democrats have been more interested in this as a political issue than as a policy issue,” Thiele said. “They’ve been more interested in which party wins than what might be best for the public. The result is the current deteriorating health insurance exchanges.” Governor Cuomo has been silent on these proposed increases.

Thiele hopes he addresses the matter before the current session ends next week.

“Without wholesale change in New York’s insurance market, doubledigit premium increases will become a standard fixture in healthcare in America, which is unacceptable. We are the greatest country in the world and we can and must do better for all citizens,” Zeldin said.

LIRR Delays Are Minimal Here

By Rick Murphy

A spokesperson for Long Island Rail Road said this week that most commuters to The Hamptons wouldn’t be affected by the LIRR’s extensive emergency repair work schedule this summer.

Extensive delays, especially at Penn Station, have caused regular riders to mutiny over the past several weeks. Many have complained not only to LIRR officials but also to Governor Cuomo’s office. The emergency work schedule will commence in earnest on July 10 and run until September 1. The spokesperson acknowledged that “commuters at 9 AM and 5 PM on weekdays” will face some delays and some trains may be rerouted. Penn Station will be

Irving Is Mayor, No To Smith

By Kitty Merrill

Two incumbent Southampton Village trustees campaigned for mayor following longtime Mayor Mark Epley’s decision to step down. On Friday, Michael Irving won the top spot, garnering 477 votes to his opponent Richard Yastrzemski’s 379. Yastrzemski

will continue to serve as a trustee, while Irving will be tasked with appointing someone to fill his trustee seat. The race for village board made local and city news, thanks to the publication of controversial comments made by candidate Valerie Smith. She used a racial

epithet to complain about neighbors in the Hillcrest section of Southampton. Only 49 voters cast ballots for her. Incumbents Nancy McGann (536 votes) and Bill Hattrick (626 votes) retained their seats on the board, while a write-in candidate, Jesse Warren, received 151 votes.

DECISIONS MADE HERE

After serving 12 years at the helm, Epley will leave office on June 30.

As The Independent went to press yesterday, voters in East Hampton Village were headed to the polls to cast ballots in the first contested village board election in almost two decades.

A special election was held to fill the seat left vacant by the death last year of Elbert Edwards. Phillip O’Connell was appointed to the post, but was required to run in a special election to serve the balance of Edwards’s term, which expires in 2018. He’s facing off against Arthur Graham.

Sag Harbor Village elections were also to be held yesterday. Three candidates ran for two seats: incumbent Kenneth O’Donnell and political newcomers Aidan Corish and Thomas Gardella. Mayor Sandra Schroeder is running unopposed for a second, two-year term.

Lofstad Right At Home On Board polarization, it’s nice to have what we have here. In the end I think all of the board members want the same thing – to make things better here.”

The most important project on her agenda is the development of a program that allows young people to stay here. “Our kids can’t work in the town they grew up in. We need housing. We’re so far behind.” Lofstad pointed out, though, that overcrowded houses and motels with illegal apartments aren’t the answer.

“Nobody likes the words ‘affordable housing’ but our program is so far behind here. That’s why we have overcrowding. The lack of one causes the other.” Lofstad realized the board faces a tough decision: The Hills, a planned golf course and 118-unit

community planned for 436 acres in East Quogue, is pending before the board.

“It’s hard to see the community so split on it,” Lofstad said. “It’s a very tough decision. I’m going to wait for the final impact statement but I don’t want to drag it out.” The other controversial topic before the board is a proposal by the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club to privatize the western portion of Tuckahoe Road because it runs through the course and members think it is dangerous.

“The first thing I did was drive the road. The view is amazing,” Lofstad said. She mentioned a town board meeting overflowing with members of the public opposed to the idea. “What struck me is the outpouring from the community against it. I don’t think it can happen.”

Julie Lofstad was home caring for her newborn baby on September 11, 2001. Her office was in the World Trade Center.

The decision to leave her job at the Port Authority was an easy one after the bombings – she was already commuting from Hampton Bays.

“I never wanted to get into politics,” the Southampton Town Councilwoman said in an interview this week. “I never thought I would be a public servant.”

But she was a community activist, and an effective one. She was on the forefront of the push to get a playground built in Hampton Bays. She was the head of the PTA. She founded the Hampton Bays Mothers Association. “We did a lot of good things. I realized I was doing a lot of things elected officials do.” Lofstad has a deep local pedigree. She grew up in Hampton Bays and her father has Riverhead roots spanning several generations. Her first dream was to become a pilot. She went to the Florida

Institute of Technology and graduated with a bachelor of science in air commerce flight technology and yes, she earned a pilot’s license. She went to work for the Port Authority and designed runway and taxiway lighting systems.

After leaving her post with the Port Authority she immersed herself not only in motherhood but also as partner to her husband, a commercial fisherman who runs an ocean trawler. “My husband loves the sea. I wouldn’t set foot on a boat. I’ll do anything but, though.” That includes selling fresh fish at the farmers market.

Lofstad was approached by the Democratic Party search committee to run for office but finished a close third in a four-person race two years ago. After Brad Bender abruptly resigned, she prevailed in a special election 16 months ago.

PLANNING LANDSCAPING?

“Break with tradition and you will get a whole lot more for your money.” – Charlie Marder Traditionally, your Landscape Architect will send out an invitation to three or four landscapers to bid on your project. The bid package will be nothing more than a list of specifications and a design…no mention of the amount of money you have already budgeted. So, then the GUESSING begins. And the lowest GUESSER usually gets the job. Instead of concentrating on how best to spend your money, each of us tries to figure out how to be the lowest GUESSER and still make a profit. Considering the fact that you will probably have to live with the landscaping you bought for years, we think it deserves more than just a shot in the dark. We’d welcome the chance to show you how to get a lot more for your budgeted dollars.

Musings With Giancarlo Impiglia hide in order to kill.”

By Bridget LeRoy

Impiglia is pleased with the works chosen for the exhibition in Southampton, which spans about 20 years of his work up to the present. “I have included some of the more familiar, older works, which are always about the façade. See and be seen, hiding behind wealth, the preoccupation of appearances. And my work is still about hiding, the camouflage versus the faceless elegance. It is a different way to hide, hiding behind wealth and glamor, and now with this series, it shows wars, hidden behind false reasons, creating fear and hatred when they are really about money and power.”

The term “faceless elegance” would most accurately describe the work that internationallyrenowned artist Giancarlo Impiglia is best known for. The Italian-born artist – a longtime Bridgehampton resident -- rose to recognition in the ‘80s with his colorful paintings depicting tall, slim party-goers, merging into one image, defined by their clothing and jewelry rather than their expressionless countenances. The Southampton Cultural Center is exhibiting a myriad of works by Impiglia in its gallery, spanning not only his Cubist and Futurist-based more familiar and older works, but abstracts and a series of new paintings markedly different from the customary.

In the past few years Impiglia, increasingly perturbed by the incomprehensible rise in international violence, has returned to the inspiration of the Renaissance and Baroque masters, who at the time shocked the European art world with brutal Biblical and mythological images, but Impiglia has added his own twist. “It is important, in this historic moment,” he said. “There is not just street violence, but political violence; the insane wars that are going on in the 21st century. It is just mesmerizing because we are a supposedly civilized country, right? But we are still building weaponry in order to intimidate the others. And the others are doing the same.”

FR EE

IN SP W EC HO TI LE ON H –C O AL USE LT OD AY

Impiglia was recently rereading

the works of mid-century philosopher Herbert Marcuse. “He brought up that modern society lives in a constant state of fear. So that is our evolution. Our industrial development is to be prepared against the enemy. But the enemy is doing the same thing on the other side. So here is this industrial phenomenon that creates jobs, but also kills.” In one painting from his latest collection, The Embrace, Impiglia reimagines Caravaggio’s St. Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy, but the angel is now a young man mourning a death, and the saint is a soldier. The whole is placed against a camouflage background – one of a series that Impiglia created – of greens and gold leaf with splashes of red. The effect conveys the horrors of war and

cost of life.

“Caravaggio was a rebel,” Impiglia said. “He shook up the late Renaissance of Michelangelo and Raphael, and he created, for that time, something like a new-release movie, a chronicle of the day. Violence, intimidation, anger -but in an artistic, mostly religious context. I wanted to revisit those images in a contemporary context.” Another painting by Impiglia, A Meditation on War, seems, again, almost to be painted by a different artist altogether. Depicting a walking Buddha against a blue camo background, lotuses falling all around, the work offers peace in the midst of violence. “Camouflage is part of the arsenal,” the artist explained. “We

Like many others, Impiglia and his wife, Nina, were drawn to the East End by its beauty. But that is where the similarity between Impiglia and many of his artist contemporaries stops. “I have never been interested in painting pretty landscapes,” he said. “Artists should be involved politically, because politics are a part of our daily life. So if we are granted this little gift, this power, of presenting our opinion through our work, then it is a matter of conscience.” A second reception for the show “Rhythms of Color” at the Southampton Cultural Center will be held on July 6 from 5 to 7 PM. Gallery goers can visit the exhibition Friday and Saturdays from noon to 6 PM and Sundays through Thursdays from noon to 4 PM until July 31. For more information, visit the website sccarts.org.

Jennifer Fisher Jewelry: A Truly Happy Accident

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

Jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher revealed the inspiring story of how she started her famous jewelry brand, through adversity, as a truly happy accident.

The designer will host a trunk show on June 30 in East Hampton. The show is presented by Amex Platinum, as part of their Platinum Collective, and will be held at the celebrated Grey Gardens in East Hampton. Her flourishing jewelry business continues to grow and last month Fisher even launched her own line of organic salt. Tell us your story. How did Jennifer Fisher Jewelry begin? It was a lucky break. I studied business marketing at USC with a fine art minor. I was convinced I wanted to work on the advertising side at a fashion magazine. During a brief internship of watching the other interns in the fashion department roll racks of designer clothing by as I was crunching 30

ad numbers, I knew I was on the wrong side of the magazine.

At the time, one of my best friends was working under a commercial director who needed a new wardrobe stylist. I took a chance and accepted the job without any commercial styling experience. After my first commercial with him, I became his regular stylist and we spent the next 10 years working together on major national ad campaigns from American Express to Budweiser. Timing is truly everything.

I was diagnosed with a desmoid tumor while I was living and styling in NYC for an LA-based director. I received multiple rounds of chemotherapy at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles and at St. Vincent’s in New York and I continued to work throughout the entire process. Being diagnosed with anything is always scary but finding out I had a very rare tumor with no guaranteed form of treatment was the scariest time of my life. It changed everything.

My husband Kevin proposed to me in the middle of my chemotherapy treatment and we were married a year later - six months after I finished my treatment. When we wanted to have children, my oncologist didn’t think it was a good idea for me to carry the baby because my tumor grows from estrogen, so we went through the process of hiring a surrogate to carry for us in California, where Kevin and I both grew up and our families still live. After multiple rounds of IVF where the surrogate was pregnant twice and miscarried twice, I came back to New York and decided to try IVF on my own, against my doctor’s orders. Unsuccessful yet again, they recommended that we adopt or get an egg donor.

We needed a break from it all and took the summer off. That’s when I became pregnant with my son Shane, naturally. Against the wishes of my oncologist I carried the baby. A perfectly healthy pregnancy and baby boy later, we learned that my tumor had actually shrunk from the

pregnancy. After Shane was born, I began receiving jewelry gifts to represent him in the form of single letters that were very dainty and frankly not my style. His birth was a major deal for us, and I wanted something to wear that represented him in a way that felt like me. Being a stylist makes you pretty resourceful, so I went up to 47th Street in the jewelry district in New York and began knocking on doors, working out how I could create something myself. My first piece of jewelry was a dog tag to represent my son Shane. I was wearing it every day while on set and started to get multiple requests for the same necklace. I then happened to make a necklace for Uma Thurman that she wore on the cover of the July 2006 issue of Glamour magazine. Jennifer Fisher Jewelry was born.

I started a website selling fine jewelry direct very early on. This gave the line global reach. I truly believe that the early timing of this coincided with the beginning of the online shopping boom, resulting in

Indy Style a truly happy accident.

After six years of only selling fine jewelry, I was lucky to have garnered a pretty significant following and in order to offer jewelry to a growing customer base, I decided to expand the line with the launch of the brass collection, focusing on large statement pieces at a more accessible price point. Tell us about the upcoming trunk show at Grey Gardens. On June 30 we will be hosting our annual Hamptons summer trunk show. Given my new partnership with American Express Platinum as a member of the Platinum Collective, I had heard of their takeover of the Grey Gardens estate. I realized this would be the perfect location for us to host our trunk show. There is something truly special about a private shopping experience in such an iconic home that has such a storied past. What are some of your favorites places to go in The Hamptons? Dopo La Spiaggia in Sag Harbor for their ravioli, when I take a night off from being gluten and dairy free. Country Garden, the farmstand on Scuttlehole Road, for the best green hot sauce. Atlantic Avenue beach for picnics. Clamman in Southampton for the freshest seafood. Tell us about some of the celebrities who wear your jewelry. We have had a ton of success with

our hoop earrings on celebrities - they have gained a somewhat cult following. To name a few, we have seen placements on Kerry Washington, Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Mandy Moore, and Lupita Nyong’o. When I first started the brand we had a lot of support from celebrity moms who wore our fine jewelry, like Thurman, Naomi Watts, and Nicole Kidman. As the brand grew and we launched the brass collection. Its bold vibe quickly became popular among musicians like Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and most recently Jennifer Lopez, who began to wear the pieces in music videos and to their performances. What are you looking forward to the most this summer in The Hamptons? Weekends with my best friends Charlie and Lauran at their house in Water Mill. Alongside Charlie, I am the resident guest chef and together we are on call all weekend. It has become tradition that I bring out a loaf of my mom’s banana bread whenever I visit. I am really looking forward to our trunk show on June 30 and meeting my customers in person. Tells us about your organic salt. The salt began like my jewelry collection; it was a happy accident. I call my salt “Universal Salt” because it can (and should) be used on everything. I was looking for something to season my eggs in the morning that did not contain onion or garlic and when I couldn’t find it I created my own dish of custom-

blended salt next to the stove. I ended up sending jars of salt to magazine editors for holiday gifts and it was such a hit that we started to get requests for refills when the editors used it up. This past year we looked in to packaging the salt in New Jersey so that we could sell it on our website – it was a process but well worth it. I don’t plan on

stopping with my Universal Salt so stay tuned for our next launch this coming fall. For more info visit www. jenniferfisherjewelry.com. To RSVP for the trunk show on June 30 at Grey Gardens email rsvp@ jenniferfisherjewelry.com.

Tales From Ashawagh Hall

HE'S A ROCKSTAR!

Independent/James J. Mackin

By Bridget LeRoy

When Marijane Meaker – also known as the famed young adult novelist ME Kerr – ran an ad in a local newspaper to see if other writers would be interested in a writing workshop in Springs, she probably didn’t know what she was starting. But over 30 years later, the Ashawagh Hall Writers Workshop is still going strong, and will offer a taste of its latest creations in a reading at the East Hampton Library tonight. “Writing is lonely work,” said the group’s leader, Laura Stein. “The workshop gives writers a community. When you’re writing, you see everything so fully in your mind, but you don’t really know what you’ve conveyed onto the page. The workshop enables that invaluable feedback from a supportive community.”

Being published is the focus of the workshop, and well over two dozen published works found their start in the attic at Ashawagh Hall. Perhaps the most famous author to emerge is Vincent Lardo, who took over the Archy McNally detective series created by Lawrence Sanders and has penned six New York Times bestsellers. “Obviously, the series was not created in the workshop,” said Stein. “But Vince was put into the running to take over the brand because of his Hamptons mysteries” -- The Hampton Affair and The Hampton Connection – “which did come out of the workshop.”

Another notable book which was born in the attic is TJ Parsell’s Fish: A Memoir of a Boy in a Man’s Prison. Parsell was sent to an adult prison at the age of 17 for stealing a toy gun and suffered unimaginable brutality during his time there. Not only is Fish a successful book in film development, but is taught in criminal justice classes in universities around the world. “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would not have been able to write Fish were it not for Marijane Meaker and the group of fellow writers of the Ashawagh Hall Writer’s Workshop,” Parsell said. “It took me a lifetime to arrive at a place emotionally where I was ready to tackle the ghosts that haunted me my entire adult life. My folks at Ashawagh Hall provided the support, the guidance, and the structure I needed to stay on task and get it done.” Parsell has since moved out of state but said of his writers’ group, “I miss them all terribly. It was truly a life-changing experience.”

After Meaker retired from the workshop in 2014, Laura Stein was elected to continue to head the program. “It was a huge adjustment that first year,” she acknowledged. “I had been a member for 17 years, and suddenly I was the leader. But I love it. To see the work that comes out of the group, and the support, is inspiring.” The Ashawagh Hall Writers

Guest Worthy Recipe : Dan Churchill

By Zachary Weiss

Charred Peach Barley Salad

WHO: Dan Churchill

WHY?

INSTAGRAM:

Summer is the best time of year to enjoy that outside feasting occasion. Personally I get excited just turning the grill on (Don’t get me started on hearing that first sizzle). The Charred Peach Barley Salad makes the perfect summer dish as it nourishes your healthy vibe without making you feel heavy. My friends love seeing the final mix after grilling the peaches. So wait till the last minute to get your combination on.

@DanChurchill ABOUT: Dan Churchill is a chef and author, with a Masters degree in exercise science. His tastiness can be seen on ABC’s Emmy Award-winning program “The Chew” and Food Network. He is also a host of “Surfing The Menu, Next Generation” seen on ABC Australia and Discovery throughout the world. He also appears on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” having established a common ground with the American population. With three cookbooks (Dudefood, The Healthy Cook, Surfing The Menu), a NYC restaurant opening in 2017, other TV ventures and a busy digital outreach, Dan’s mission is make people happier, and food is his tool to do that. “The power of food is amazing in what it can do to bring people together.”

Its vibrant color will also match all your friends’ lovely dresses (you’re welcome, fellas) which will only add to the party occasion. Whether it is for one, two, or for a summer party, it is a really convenient way to jazz up any eating occasion.

Although it can be seen as the side dish to a tasty grilling situation, this textured board can satisfy everyone just on its own. If you want to go gluten-free, simply swap the barley for quinoa. You can also add your favorite protein if you wish. Just a good olive oil, salt and pepper, grill, and game on! INGREDIENTS: 1 c barley

2 peaches, sliced into eighths Large bowl of arugula 1/3 c goat cheese 1/2 c walnuts

DIRECTIONS: Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add your barley, cook for 10 to 12 minutes until slightly soft but still holding its shape

Drain barley and refresh under cold water to stop it from cooking Cook sliced peaches on a grill on medium heat for 1 minute on each side or until they get a nice char, remove and set aside

In a large bowl combine barley, arugula, goat cheese, walnuts, olive oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, then fold in your peaches and enjoy

Recipe Of The Week by Chef Joe Cipro

Cranberry And White Chocolate Crumb Cake Ingredients (makes 20 cupcakes) Cake 1/2 lb butter (room temperature) 1 c granulated sugar 3 eggs

2 tbs mayonnaise

1/2 c dried cranberries

1/2 c white chocolate chips Topping 3/4 c light brown sugar 1 tbsp all purpose flour

2 c cake flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp baking powder

1tsp ground all spice

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

3 tbsp cold butter (cut into small pieces)

1/2 c sour cream

1/2 c plain greek yogurt

1/2 c chopped pecans 1/2 c almond flour

Method Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the muffin tin with paper liners. Use the paddle attachment on your stand mixer and cream the butter and sugar together until smooth.

Add the eggs one at a time and mix until light and fluffy. Sift the dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix the wet ingredients together as well: mayonnaise, sour cream, and yogurt. To finish the batter, turn the mixer back on and add the dry and wet ingredients a little at a time,

alternating dry and wet until a smooth consistency is achieved.

Add the cranberries and white chocolate chips and distribute evenly through out the cup cake tin. To make the topping, combine all the dry ingredients except the nuts in a bowl. Slowly, without working the mixture too much, press the cold butter into the dry ingredients until it becomes a crumbly mixture. Fold in the chopped nuts and sprinkle ontop of the muffin batter. Bake until browned for about 20 to 25 minutes.

Here’s To Montauk Brew

By Nicole Teitler

It was Memorial Day weekend last year when a friend decided to introduce me to the “real Montauk.” I’ve been coming to The Hamptons for years, but Montauk always felt like an exhausting drive past the key points along Route 27 (that is why it’s called “The End” after all). Sure, I’d been to the Lighthouse as a kid, Ditch Plains during my surfing days, and years later -- dare I admit? -- the Sloppy Tuna. But that wasn’t the true vibe of this farout town. We parked at what looked like a cute red house. A Montauk Brewing Company chalkboard sign in front read “First of all, you look awesome today. No joke, like really awesome. That’s it, there is no second of all.” No explanation needed. My friend knew everyone,

she’d clearly been here a few times before.

Inside, I had no idea what to taste first. “Try it all. There’s no judgements here,” the blonde surfer girl employee said to me. I ordered a Summer Ale, seemingly fitting for the situation. With one sip, I was hooked. If this was the authentic experience, I had just soberly stumbled into paradise.

Fast forward to today and I’m a MBC junkie. On top of a few more summer visits, I’d been twice in the cold, winter months and have picked up a few of their ecofriendly cardboard six-packs with aims to purchase their new logo can glass upon my next visit this season. (Seriously, have you seen those things? They’re adorable.) All of which is reason to celebrate the milestone birthday of this

The trio that started it all -- Vaughan Cutillo, Joseph Sullivan, and Eric Moss -- will be high-fiving to five years as an established company. Starting at 6 PM, the party will be held at Ruschmeyer’s, one of their first accounts, with food, Montauk beers, a short video, and music.

In tribute to their half-decade’s worth of success, the boys have specially brewed a batch of Five Year Beer. This 5.4% ABV is an IPA with blood orange and vanilla bean that will be on tap at the

brewery all day on Friday along with servings at Ruschmeyer’s. Let’s toast to that! To the men who taught us to “come as you are,” but leave feeling better, cheers! Montauk Brewing Company is located at 62 South Erie Avenue in Montauk. The party at Ruschmeyer’s is located at 161 Second House Rd. in Montauk.

The Celebrity Column I’m not a gawker.

I never approach a celebrity to make small talk, even though in my business I probably should. I feel people who live here, like Aspen or Malibu, realize a lot of celebrities call the place home and they probably want to go about their day-to-day affairs in peace.

It’s different during the film festival. Then, a lot of celebs are “on” – they are here to get exposure for their films and they realize publicity is part of the game. Still, it’s usually the first thing people ask you when you tell them where you are from. “Do you know Alec Baldwin? Do you know Seinfeld? Do you know Martha Stewart?” I know of them, I’ve crossed paths with them, I’ve even feuded with a

One of the real good guys is Paul McCartney. Talk about down to earth! Having survived Beatlemania, it’s hard to believe Paul can walk around in relative ease. Teenaged girls – my sister was one – went into hysterical fits at the mere mention of his name. They used to go the airport when the Beatles were scheduled to arrive. They would scream and cry, completely out of control, when a plane came in – any plane.

Paul is a fixture at Indian Wells Beach. A few years back he approached my friend Kenny who ran the hot dog truck there. They had chatted many times, and Paul wondered if Kenny would do him a favor – let his then-wife, Heather, go behind the truck. Kenny

Jimmy Fallon and his wife and first daughter were shopping in King Kullen a couple years ago. Fallon, it should be noted, is extremely approachable and accessible. We passed them several times in the aisles; they were reading the sides of packages and discussing what to buy like shoppers do.

One lady though, was obviously fixated on him. Each time we passed Fallon, the woman was directly behind him, hovering. Finally Fallon turned around abruptly and nearly bumped into her. “Oh my god,” he said with a big smile. “I keep running into you. I’m so sorry. You must think I’m stalking you!” Fallon had deftly turned the tables on her. The red-faced woman, obviously embarrassed, quickly walked away.

Fallon smiled at me and then continued shopping. I’m quite sure he recognized me.

Rabid Bats And Wilting Oaks

By Kitty Merrill

earlier this year, Southold Highway Department staff removed and disposed of an infected tree, treating its stump with herbicides to prevent the spread of the disease through the roots.

We’ve got the ticks just waiting to suck your blood and infect you with Lyme Disease or worse. We’ve got blue-green algae, contact with which can result in a slew of dangerous symptoms. And we’ve got that old standby – stormwater discharge polluting the water with bacteria that prompts beach closures. What’s next?

In Riverhead an infected tree was removed and its wood covered in plastic to prevent further infection. Its stump was also treated with herbicide and the plastic will stay on the wood for a year.

How about some rabid bats and infectious wilting oaks?

The first enviro-scare hasn’t affected the East End . . . yet. Last Friday the Suffolk County Department of Health was notified by the state DOH that three bats collected in Sayville, Islip Terrace, and Islip tested positive for the rabies virus.

According to Suffolk County Health Services commissioner Dr. James Tomarken, in any given year three to six percent of the local bat population typically tests positive for rabies. But, he added, “Given we have had three test positive in close proximity within days is reason for enhanced caution.” Close proximity upisland, about 55 miles away.

In closer proximity to the East End is oak wilt disease, which affects – you guessed it – oak trees. Sixteen trees statewide fell prey to the invasive species that causes oak wilt. Two of them were located on the North Fork – in Southold Town and at Wildwood State Park in Riverhead. According to a notification from the state Department of Environmental Conservation, after meeting with DEC officials

Elsewhere in Suffolk County, another 11 infected trees were found in Islip.

Oak wilt is a serious tree disease in Eastern United States, killing thousands of oaks each year in forests, woodlots, and home landscapes. Oak wilt is caused by a fungus, Ceratocystis fagacearum, which grows in the waterconducting vessels of host trees, plugging up these vessels and preventing water transport. As water movement within the tree is slowed, the leaves wilt and drop off. DEC is encouraging the public to be on the lookout this summer for oak trees that suddenly lose all or most of their leaves during the months of July or August. These occurrences should be reported to DEC’s Forest Health information line toll-free at 1-866-640-0652, or via email foresthealth@dec. ny.gov. Submitting pictures of oaks showing symptoms of oak wilt is highly encouraged.

in wild animals like raccoons, bats, skunks, and foxes, it can infect any mammal. In New York State, pet owners are required by law to have their animals vaccinated against rabies. Vaccinating pets can act as a barrier to keep the virus from spreading between wild animals and people.

As for bats, officials recommend keeping your house secure – using window screens, chimney caps, and making sure openings in the attic or basement are sealed -- to prevent bats from entering your home. If one does get in, contact the county DOH at 631-853-0333 or 631852-4820.

Join the Hampton Bays Civic Association and discuss how the Community Preservation Fund money can help resolve Hampton Bays water issues. Discuss what to expect now that the referendum has passed on Monday in the Southampton Town Community Center at 7 PM.

Southampton Town Board and a five-person committee of specialists will create and administer a plan of action. The main focus will be on upgrading existing septic systems.

Peconic Bay Medical Center is looking for personable, energetic men or women to dedicate one to two days per week at a total of two hours a day in what can truly be called “the healing arts.” Artwork and music have been found to offer positive healing effects for patients, and PBMC has recently incorporated two new programs.

Historic Designation On Tap

By Kitty Merrill

The Second and Ostrander Historic District in Riverhead and the Charles and Anna Bates House in Greenport are among 22 properties statewide that have been recommended for addition to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. State and National Registers listing can assist property owners in revitalizing buildings, making them eligible for various public preservation programs and services, such as matching state grants and state and federal historic rehabilitation tax credits. Since the Governor signed legislation to bolster the state’s use of rehabilitation tax credits in 2013, the state and federal program has spurred $3 billion of investment in

historic commercial properties.

In 2016, New York State led the nation in the number of completed projects using rehabilitation tax credit programs. $748 million in investments were generated by the state and federal credit to revitalize historic buildings throughout the state. The Charles and Anna Bates House in Greenport is an 1845 Greek Revival period house that was transformed into a seasonal

boardinghouse c. 1870 as the Long Island Rail Road helped make Greenport a resort community.

The Second and Ostrander Historic District was downtown Riverhead’s primary residential neighborhood, growing up alongside the village’s commercial corridor from 1840, when the first houses came to newly laid-out streets, through 1958. It runs the entire length of Second Street from Griffing Avenue to Ostrander. Part of the

district would abut a section of Main Street designated an historic district in 2012.

Some 90 percent of the structures in the district are considered historically significant. The Preston House and the Second Street Post Office are already on the National Register. Comprised of about 33 acres north of Main Street, the district is home to myriad structures built between 1840 and 1940.

Feed-AKid

For most kids the approach of summer means sun, fun, friends, and backyard barbecues with the family. But for some, the onset of summer means hunger. During school vacations, they can’t access free breakfast and lunch at school and face the prospect of going hungry. Enter Community Action Southold Town.

CAST provides breakfast and lunch groceries to kids on school vacation. Eighty percent of CAST’s nutrition support for children enrolled in the schools’ free meal program is delivered during the summer.

Each year, the number of families CAST helps increases. In 2015, the program served 40 families; last year it was 50.

The program relies on the generosity of donors in Southold.

Independent / Courtesy of Douglas Elliman Christie Brinkley’s North Haven pad is for sale.

Compiled by Rick Murphy Fifty-Five And Older On North Shore Harvest Pointe, a luxury 55plus community on the soughtafter North Fork, has launched previews for the summer season before sales officially commence in August. The Harvest Pointe preview office, located at 28200 Main Road in Cutchogue, is now open.

The 124-condominium residential community, exclusively represented by Sheri Winter Clarry of The Corcoran Group, is spread across 46 acres, and is only a short walk from the quaint town of Cutchogue. Prices will begin at approximately $675,000 for the residences, all of which have two to three bedrooms, a full basement, and a two-car garage.

“Today Show” host first offered the property last year at $17 million and it has now gotten a significant price cut to $14.9 million.

Architect Daniel Romualdez imagined a structure inspired by a New England shingled cape and interior designer Muriel Brandolini filled it with custom touches including hand-painted Gracie wallpaper in the dining room and a limited edition Emmanuel Babled chandelier in the eat-in kitchen. The 25 acres of park-like rolling lawns featuring outdoor terraces and patios, an oversized gunite pool, and a Har-Tru tennis court are the work of landscape architect Miranda Brooks. Corcoran’s Susan Breitenbach has the listing.

JCOH Welcomes New Rabbi

By Laura Field

For the first time in 10 years, the Jewish Center of The Hamptons has welcomed a new rabbi.

Rabbi Joshua Franklin joins the Jewish Center of The Hamptons after serving for four years as an associate rabbi at Temple Beth Elohim in Wellesley, MA. In his career as rabbi, he has enlivened the Jewish community by reimagining spirituality through creative mediums, according to a release heralding his arrival. Rabbi Franklin brings to the synagogue

setting a passion for music, technology, and creative forms of Jewish education.

Originally from Yonkers, Rabbi Franklin grew up at Riverdale Temple in the Bronx, where his father was a rabbi. He spent his childhood summers growing up at URJ Eisner Camp, and has returned to serve for several years on the rabbinical faculty at URJ Crane Lake Camp. Before receiving his ordination at Hebrew Union College (HUC-JIR), Rabbi Franklin

Traffic, Parking, And Pedestrians

By Elizabeth Vespe

The Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce is keenly aware of the frustrations and hardships businesses and visitors face, especially in the summer months, about parking.

The chamber would like to work with village business owners to alleviate some of the strain. Join chamber members tomorrow at 8 AM at John Jermain Library for a meeting regarding traffic control. As a small village with a large

summer population and tourism industry, parking and traffic issues are, to some extent, inevitable. But through a multi-faceted approach, the chamber wants to create more parking, and make more efficient use of the parking that already exists. Improving the village’s walkability and public spaces, which will make the village more of a draw to shoppers and tourists, and strengthen the community, are other issues that will be brought up.

Dementia, Mom & Me

By Kitty Merrill

Stop Spreadin’ The News

saccharine voices bordering on baby talk.

I never got Frank Sinatra. He was just okay, in my opinion – some good songs, a decent voice, not a bad actor or dancer – but his legendary charisma eludes.

Mom, on the other hand, used to love him. I remember she had a huge coffee table book filled with just photographs of the dude. I’m guessing the love traces to a typical teenage crush, something like I had with Paul McCartney or Davy Jones from The Monkees. Dementia ruined Old Blue Eyes for Mom, and instilled in me an impassioned loathing.

Experts recommend playing music from a patient’s childhood as a soothing strategy. I get that. Surely music can turn most anyone’s mood.

The kids – and I call almost everyone who works in Gramma Lockdown, the dementia ward at Mom’s assisted living facility, kids, given their average age hovering around 28 – tried to use the soothing strategy by blasting Frank Sinatra hits in the ward.

Day after day, blaring from speakers that go to 11, the soundtrack was

They organized “singalongs,” printing lyrics out on paper sheets, then handing them to people who couldn’t comprehend what they were looking at.

Independent / Curtin Family Photo Mom took us all to Woodstock in 1970, to see the site where the historic concert took place. There was no Sinatra to be heard on the little town’s incense-scented streets.

Frankie. It felt quite Manchurian Candidate (to call forth one of Sinatra’s stellar turns).

This super loud music did very little to calm Mom during the early days at the place. And that’s no surprise. Imagine waking up and not knowing where you are or recognizing anyone around you. Now, imagine that happening 50, 60, 1000 times a day, or an hour. Mom expressed the terror of that feeling with anger.

“These people are nuts!” she’d spit, her self-edit program gone with her memory. “Where’s my car?”

I’d try to explain over the earsplitting music that she gave her car

to her grandson.

This fact was something I’d explain to her many, many times until the illness progressed and I learned to simply change the subject. During the early days in the AL, Mom’s emotional range consisted of two choices: anger and anxiety, which played out as anger. Sinatra didn’t help.

Oh, sure, they mixed it up once in a while, playing high-volume Dean Martin or Perry Como for the patients, many of whom, admittedly, are hard of hearing.

Mom isn’t. Her hearing is great. Her eyesight is good. It’s her mind, and more and more, her body, that are gone.

More sentient than her dementista wardmates, at the outset “recreation” time just served to irritate her. I’d like to think the “specialists” are kind. Just stupid. They speak to residents like some might talk to a toddler – in high-pitched

They called the people in the ward residents or guests and were scandalized to hear me call them inmates. It fits, for me. They’re locked in the ward and if not prisoners of the “safe care” unit, without a doubt, they are prisoners of their rapidly-eroding minds and declining bodies. But, still . . . they’re PEOPLE.

Grownass people who accomplished things in their lives. Professional people who raised families, had careers, fought in wars. Don’t call them “hun.” Mom chafed at the condescension, the loud baby talk, the games more suited for the kindergarten children she taught for 30 years than adults. They had a singalong one day when I was visiting. Frank Sinatra caterwauling about New York at volume 11. Only a couple of inmates attempted to follow along, murmuring the words. More knew to applaud at the end (though perhaps out of gratitude that the aural torture was over).

A new kid in the ward, Mom didn’t sing or applaud. “Stop clapping,” she barked. “It’s the same thing we heard yesterday and the day before!” I tried, only

Insight

Ed Gifford Refreshing Article Dear Editor,

Rick Murphy’s article in the 6/8/17 issue of The Independent about the Southampton School Board being the “School that Stole Christmas” was, in my opinion, refreshing because it gave names and specifics as opposed to “unnamed sources.”

Is it just me? Here’s an interesting article!

We are, in good democratic fashion, a community of different opinions and ideas. Therefore we look to the press to give us unbiased factual journalism, not propaganda. Murphy’s article, regardless of what side of Christmas you're on, presented objective journalism that factually informed the community about situations, names, and events in our schools.

JUST ASKING

Schools where most parents and others will say that we want good, if not excellent, academics, fairness, and opportunity for our kids.

What are you planting in your garden? Caroline Sarraff I’m planting a wonderful eggplant collection. I’ll plant about 15 eggplants and some cherry tomatoes. And a lot of begonias for a new moss garden that I’m planting. Some scaevola and a big mandevilla. Then a bunch of little sedum in succulent pots.

Like it or not America is a melting pot of people, of all colors and religions, from countries all over the world. However, like it or not, the vast majority of the population (some polls say 80 percent) are Judeo/ Christian. This has been reflected for generations in our public schools by naming, for generations, what's now “winter recess” the holiday that was once Christmas. Is the Southampton Board of Education so secular that Christmas is only good for retail sales and money?

Walter Klauss I’ve already done a lot of planting so now I’m shopping for a few odds and ends to wrap it up, like some marigolds. I’ve already planted Persian shield, all kinds of begonias and some impatiens, and so many things I can’t even think of their names right now. Richard Marracco Today, I’m looking for some flowering, hanging plants. I’m looking for some big scaevola. It’s hard to find the ones that are large with long stems hanging down. But I’m sure I’ll find them.

Has the Judeo/Christian Faith become so threatening that even a name from its belief system on the school calendar is detrimental to our kids and discriminating against minority religions? Is Rosh Hashanah a bullying, prejudiced, dangerous name that the students should be protected from?

At a time when our nation and the world appear more out of control than most people can remember, maybe the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as Jesus Christ, need more, not less, respect and recognition by our nation and certainly the younger generation in our schools. It was also refreshing to see in the article that a variety of groups and religions are joining to curb the lack of transparency that exists with many of our elected officials.

It's time for people to wake up and take back our government, local, state, and nation from the politicians that no longer listen to the public or keep them informed. The wide margin of victory, by more than 200 votes each, for the two new members of the Board reveal that the coalition is working and getting ready for the November elections. For too long the School Board’s incumbent members and other elected officials violate the basic principles of democracy when they limit debate, don't fully answer questions, require questions to be written and in some cases screened.

At the same time they'll hypocritically tell you how much they want to be a “public servant.” Thank you, Mr. Murphy, for journalism not propaganda. God bless! Oops, there

REV. DONALD HAVRILLA

Diehards Dear Independent Editor,

The damage has been done. We had installed a Black-ard in the White-House. Although we cannot reverse the process, we can begin to somewhat erase that historic black blemish on our country's history. Think 2018.

First and foremost, one thing must be made perfectly clear. The fact is that Russia does not want what is best for our country . . . and in truth our country concerning Russia's good fortune is reciprocal. Only those having a Rip Van snooze since WWII would deny that. Ergo, any tampering by the Russians with America's Presidential election would be negative to what would be best for our county's stability, strength, and growth. There is by now no doubt, but that the Russians tampered with our Presidential selections to the benefit of Trump and his team while contrarily denigrating that of

Secretary Hillary Clinton. Only those diehards which make up Trump's base continue to champion him, although somewhat fewer each passing day (except those who would still be with him if he stood on Fifth Avenue and shot somebody). And it's not only that that base has been as proven to be the least educated; they are also primarily too embarrassed to admit that they were bamboozled. Wait 'till they realize that they and their poorest States will suffer the most-est. Well Russia and Trump buddy Putin succeeded. They managed nefariously to have installed in our White House far and away the least qualified person, a fact that is being repeatedly proven with each passing day, and who is most detrimental to our Country's future. Russia won and America plus the three million majority of American voters for Secretary Hillary as President, lost.

As Chester of “The Life Of Riley” would say, "What a revolting development this is." Again . . . Think 2018.

Village Green A Green Zone

The Town’s Parks and Recreation Department participated in a demo last year with Mean Green Products to test out their electricpowered equipment, including full-sized lawn mowers. Since that time the town has purchased a fleet of state-of-the-art electric battery equipment that will allow it to achieve the same aesthetic in a healthier, more sustainable manner.

Compiled By Kitty Merrill

This morning Southampton Town Councilwoman Christine Scalera is slated to join local officials, residents, and environmental organizations to celebrate the dedication of the first AGZA Green Zone® Park in the Town of Southampton and the eastern United States at the East Quogue Village Green.

The project, led by Councilwoman Scalera in partnership with the non-profit Quiet Communities and the American Green Zone Alliance (AGZA), will bring electricpowered maintenance equipment to the park to use, rather than gas-powered equipment such as leaf blowers, to reduce levels of noise and completely eliminate emissions at the park including ozoneforming chemicals, fine particulates, and carbon dioxide. “Establishing a Green Zone at the East Quogue Village Green is a starting point to test innovative equipment and techniques that would improve the quality of life for residents in terms of noise and air quality, which is consistent with the action goals of the town’s sustainability plan,” stated Scalera. “It is my goal to continue to establish Green Zones on townowned lands throughout the Town of Southampton.” “The AGZA Green Zone at the East Quogue Village Green

"It's amazing how such a large mower can be so quiet," said Jon Erwin, Southampton Town’s Parks maintenance supervisor, referring to a 60” deck mower that, according to Mean Green, is about 15-20 decibels quieter than a comparable gas engine product.

will provide a cleaner, healthier environment for workers, neighbors, children, visitors, and pets who enjoy the park while increasing awareness in the community about how sustainable alternatives can improve quality of life for its citizens,” says Jamie Banks, executive director of Quiet Communities. A certified AGZA Green Zone is a defined area of land, such as a park, hospital, or school campus, where routine maintenance is performed with zero emissions, low noise equipment, and manual tools. AGZA is the global leader

in sustainable zero-emission grounds maintenance strategies and Quiet Communities is the Eastern licensee for AGZA’s Green Zone program and informs municipalities, businesses, and schools about risks associated with the use of industrial equipment and what alternatives could be used in their place.

AGZA president Dan Mabe has helped to create more than 25 certified Green Zones on the West Coast. In partnership with Quiet Communities, AGZA is bringing the program to the East Coast. “On the West Coast, we have proven that commercial-sized properties can be maintained without gaspowered equipment at the same level of quality and at lower cost. We look forward to bringing these benefits to the East and other parts of the country,” Mabe said.

“Parks maintenance staff members use power equipment on a daily basis and after testing the electric products, and getting a better sense of how they function and perform, they’re very enthusiastic about their implementation,” added Kristen Doulos, Town Parks director. Other towns on Long Island are starting to follow suit. Following Southampton’s lead, the Town of Huntington recently voted to create an AGZA Green Zone at Heckscher Park. “This is just the beginning of a movement on Long Island and New York State,” said resident Bonnie Sager, cofounder of the group Huntington CALM. “We will reduce our carbon footprint and improve the health of our workers and our neighborhoods. We applaud the Town of Southampton for their foresight and leadership,” said Sager.

School Days

Submitted by local schools

Independent/Courtesy of AIA The 2017 AIA Peconic Anthony DiSunno Scholarship committee members met to award $8000 in merit and financial aid scholarships to several deserving East End students.

Director Of The Year The Hampton Bays School District announced this week that director of physical education, health, and athletics Drew Walker, was named Suffolk Zone’s Physical Education Director of the Year. Independent/Courtesy RHSD Second graders at Riley Avenue School in Riverhead raised their hands high (like the Statue of Liberty) during their concert of patriotic songs on Flag Day.

Riverhead School District People across the United States celebrate Flag Day to honor the United States flag, reflect on the flag’s history and its meaning to the people of this great nation.

As one young presenter at the Riley Avenue Flag Day celebration noted, "Many Americans celebrate Flag Day by displaying the red, white, and blue in front of their homes and businesses. The Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the young republic on June 14, 1777."   A red, white, and blue wave of Riley Avenue Elementary School second graders in Riverhead brought this lesson to life on Wednesday, June 14, as they celebrated Flag Day. Parents, grandparents, and siblings listened enthusiastically to a patriotic concert directed by Riley music teacher Keith Maguire as a salute to the American flag. Second graders participated in an interdisciplinary experience throughout their preparation for this event. They wrote essays for the annual Flag Day essay contest, 88

sponsored by the Riverhead Elks Lodge, they learned patriotic songs under the direction of the music department, studied the history of the flag, and created an artistic representation of the flag in art class.

Riley second-grade teacher Lauren Farber noted, "This program was started 25 years ago and correlates with the second-grade curriculum as well as the annual Elks Lodge essay contest entitled, ‘What the American Flag Means to Me.’”   Before each song, a duet of students from each of the classes introduced the song with a historical or personal presentation about the American flag and the patriotic song that honored it. "My grandparents came to America from Italy and Croatia for a better life . . . They taught me to always be grateful, and I am, because here I am in the United States, and I love it," read another second-grade essay winner wearing a white shirt and a flag tie. After his presentation, the students sang, "I'm proud to be an American." Elaine Schreiber and James Hise were the first-place winners of the essay contest.

Walker was selected, according to Suffolk Zone, for his caring and commitment to his profession and students. Of the news, Walker said, “I am honored by the recognition and very grateful to be able to work with such a great physical education/health staff at Hampton Bays. They care about teaching the students skills, knowledge, and strategies in the area of personal safety, health, wellness, motor movement, positive decisionmaking, and in sport and lifetime activities.” Walker also thanked the Board of Education, administration, and community for their support in increasing athletic facilities and providing materials and supplies needed to offer maximum student involvement in the district’s physical education and health classes.

Speaking about Walker, Superintendent of Schools Lars Clemensen said, “Hampton Bays is focused on the development of the whole child and, with Mr. Walker’s professionalism, passion for physical education, and compassion for our students, our gymnasiums and fields are positive spaces for kids to learn, grow, and challenge themselves. Under Mr. Walker’s leadership, the PE staff is focused on developing students who will

The award recipients are Eitan Albukrek of East Hampton High School who will attend Tulane University, Dominic Arresta of Southampton High School who is attending Alfred State, Sarah Becker of East Hampton High School who is attending Marywood University, Leo Ellis of Bishop McGann Mercy who is attending Catholic University of America, Nicholas Kolb of Hampton Bays High School who will attend Roger Williams University, and Kelsey Miller of East Hampton High School who is attending New York Institute of Technology.

Hampton Bays Assault/Hate Crime

By Kitty Merrill

Southampton Town Police detectives are asking any witnesses or individuals with information related to a hate crime/assault in Hampton Bays on Sunday night to contact them.

Around 8:40 PM that night a 23-year-old resident was walking in the vicinity of 54 Atlantic Avenue when, according to the police report, approximately four white males in their 20s jumped out of a vehicle and attacked him, striking him and kicking him in the face. The victim reported that before and during the attack, the assailants used “anti-Hispanic comments,” which ratchets the assault investigation to hate crime status.

with OLA within minutes of being contacted, while Chief Skrynecki was also quick to inform that this case was already being investigated as a Hate Crime, according to the statement. “While OLA is horrified that a crime of this nature would happen, we are not surprised that such acts of violence could occur as immigrants have been further vilified and scapegoated by those

with an interest in creating fear and division. Our community must not cave to further violence,” OLA officials said, adding, ”We are heartened by the response of Southampton Town’s Police Department to act quickly and without reservation in this hate crime investigation.” The advocacy group stressed the importance of continued dialogue and transparency regarding the

fears that immigrants in the community have to accessing protections regardless of immigration status.

“Active efforts such as these along with follow up discussions and commitments are needed to insure that all among us are safe and equally inclined to seek protections as victims and witnesses to crime,” the statement concludes.

If you can’t remember the last time your duct/vents were cleaned, you are probably overdue.

The attackers fled the scene in the same vehicle. The victim was transported to the hospital, treated and released.

Local police are coordinating their investigation with the county police hate crime unit and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office. Call 631-702-2230 or Suffolk County Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS with information. All calls are kept confidential. Yesterday, in response to the Assault/Hate Crime, Organización Latino-Americana LA of Eastern Long Island issued a statement expressing “condemnation of these hateful and ethnically charged acts against a Latino member of our Hampton Bays community.” “We remain concerned for the continued safety of the family who has been targeted by these violent individuals,” the statement reads. OLA was contacted Monday morning by a member of the victim’s family. After learning the details of the attack, OLA contacted Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman and Police Chief Steven Skrynecki “to learn their response and commitment to safety for all members of the community,” the statement continues.

Independent / Michael Heller On Saturday afternoon members of the East Hampton Fire Department responded to a residence at 87 Jericho Road in East Hampton for a report of a structure fire. Upon arrival, members discovered a small fire in the meter pan of the residence, where the electric service from the street attaches to the building, indicating a short or problem of some sort in the electric service. Because the wires were still charged, fire department members could do nothing but try to minimize the amount of fire spread and damage with the use of dry chemical fire extinguishers until a representative from the PSEG utility could arrive and turn off the power at the pole in the street. Once this was accomplished, EHFD members removed shingles from around the affected area to check for any further fire extension. There were no injuries, and the East Hampton Village Fire Marshal was on scene to assist with the investigation of the fire's cause and origin.

Work With Nature To Manage Garden Pests

A garden filled with flowers, birds, bees, and butterflies is a sight to behold. These winged beauties add color, sound, and motion to our gardens. Plus, they help maximize a garden’s productivity by pollinating plants and managing plantdamaging pests.

Add a birdbath, a few birdhouses and plants for the birds. They’ll repay you by eating many of the insects that feed upon your plants. Include seed-bearing plants like coneflowers, Rudbeckias, and cosmos as well as berry plants like Juneberry, dogwood, and firethorn. Add an evergreen and a few trees for shelter and nesting, if space allows.

DEAL

While watching the birds, bees, and butterflies, examine your plants for garden pests. Catching insects early may mean the difference between a successful harvest and disappointment. Before reaching for the pesticides and destroying their food source, attract the good guys and manage unwanted pests with a few of these eco-friendly strategies.

AND A REAL AGENT

Tolerate a bit of damage and wait for the birds, lady beetles, praying mantis, and other beneficial insects to move in and eat the bad bugs in the garden. Use barriers like row covers to keep cabbageworms off your cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.

If the bad guys persist, step up your eco-friendly control. Knock small populations of aphids and mites off plants with a strong blast of water. Apply insecticidal soap or Summit Year-Round Spray Oil if nature needs a helping hand. These organic insecticides are effective at managing pests, while gentle on the good guys when used properly.

Keep mosquito populations to a minimum. Drain water from toys,

buckets, or any object that can hold water and serve as a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Change the water in birdbaths several times a week. Toss a Mosquito Dunk (SummitResponsibleSolutions. com) in rain barrels and water features. This organic insecticide only kills the larvae of mosquitoes, black flies, and fungus gnats. It won’t harm bees, butterflies, birds, pets, or people.

Evaluate your success and make needed adjustments. Write a note in next year’s calendar to watch for the return of these pests. You’ll be ready to step in and lend nature a hand if needed.

As you begin to work in harmony with nature you will find more birds, bees, and butterflies visiting your garden. Together you can grow a beautiful and productive garden for all to enjoy.

UUID Gets OK

Compiled by Kitty Merrill

New York State Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Senator Ken LaValle announced this week that the New York State Legislature has approved a measure that would enable the Town of Southampton to establish an “Underground Utility Improvement District.” The legislation would permit the Town of Southampton to create a district that could enter into agreements with public utility companies to construct underground utility facilities or convert existing above-ground utilities to underground. Such facilities could include electric transmission and distribution lines, cable television lines, and telephone lines.

would be subject to a permissive referendum.

After an underground utility improvement district has been established, the town board may enter into a contract with a public utility company, municipality, or public authority in order to construct underground new public utility facilities or convert existing overhead public utility facilities to underground facilities. The last necessary step is the governor’s signature.

The reading will be held from 5:30 to 7 PM. Another reading will take place on July 19 with Carol Goodale, Deborah Becker, Lisa Michne, and Richard Lawless. All are welcome to attend the free event. The library suggests signing up by calling 631-324-0222, ext. 3, or visiting the website at www.easthamptonlibrary.org.

The legislators spearheaded the initiative after recent dealings with the expansion of aboveground transmission lines in both Southampton and East Hampton towns. Last year, lawmakers were successful in enacting legislation to establish an underground utility improvement district in the Town of East Hampton.

Said Thiele, “New York, in general, needs to build an electric grid that is stronger, more resilient, and smarter. The East End of Long Island is particularly susceptible to nor’easters, tropical storms, and hurricanes. A great way to ensure the protection of our energy system is to selectively underground our utility infrastructure.” “This legislation would provide the Town of Southampton with another tool to safeguard their electrical infrastructure from future storm damage with the opportunity to share costs or spread them out over time,” LaValle noted.

The law gives the town the authority to create an “underground utility improvement district,” utilizing the same process that currently exists for the creation of other special districts such as water or sewer districts. The creation of a district

Of all the past year’s predation, seeing her life and the lives of fellow inmates reduced to one note, one song, one singer, tops the chart of heartbreak.

half-heartedly, to shush her.

This was a woman who let us stay up late to see The Beatles debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” She showed us how to play air guitar and lip sync long before it was a thing. We performed “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” for the nuns and were the hit of St. Martin’s.

She listened to the Temptations, The Supremes, Cousin Brucie, Tom Jones. She introduced us to Bob Dylan and Dusty Springfield. She got classical music albums from Bohack’s, a special with the weekly groceries. The soundtrack of her life spanned decades. I found Marc Anthony, the Three Tenors, and

Mom loved music and loved to dance, but she didn’t sing. Dad had a rich baritone and dominated the living room singalongs spurred by visits from friends and a few Manhattans. I suspect he shamed her for subpar vocal skills. I never heard her sing . . . until one day, one time last year.

It was the penultimate day at rehab #1. We’d be moving to the assisted living facility the next day, and the caretakers finally let her walk, and walk outdoors.

June 21 2017

It was the first luxurious spring day, warm, the air scented with new blossoms. Delighted to see the sky, a bird, a flower, Mom burst into a song about spring. It was a song she apparently taught her students, but never brought home to her own kids. I got to hear her sing one time.

She can’t sing anymore, she can barely speak. I asked her if it hurts to talk or if she’s struggling to remember words. Very slowly she raised her hand and pointed to her temple. She can’t go back to the dementia ward at the AL. She can’t feed herself or dress herself or go to the bathroom on her own. We’re moving her to a nursing home.

My friend Mark and I cleaned out her room at the place. There wasn’t much stuff, but the process involved paperwork, inventories, trips back and forth to her room with differing “care specialists,” before the chapter closed.

I sent Mark to wait in the car for that part of the evening. I was alone

for the final trip through what had been her home for the last year, and took the shortcut through gen pop to the exit, to the car packed with more meager belongings than we arrived with last April. (The story of her missing glasses, teeth, rosary beads, clothing is one for another day.) I walked fast. I wanted out. Not fast enough, though.

The leitmotif as I left: freakin’ Frank and his climactic, final lyric, “It’s up to YOU! New! York! Nuuuuu Yawk.” God, I hate that song.

Postscript: Mark, that swashbuckler with the luggage cart, predicts they will still be playing Sinatra in the ward when we get there, “until Dementia Kitty arrives with her Korn CDs.” Maybe not. Maybe they’ll have moved on to more popular tunes from our youth. I can only hope to retain enough faculties to be the one who caps a classic by hollering out, at volume 11: “Have you seen Junior’s grades?”

Fishing Report by Scott Jeffrey

Cocktail Blues In The Canal Shinnecock Bay, Inlet, Ocean Fluking in the bay has improved dramatically. Bay water temps now up in the 60s. Fish are being taken on both tides, but the turn seems to be best. The usual spots are producing on spearing, squid, gulp, and live killies. Not much of a report from those who have targeted the ocean, still fairly quiet.

Bluefish have been in the inlet most mornings and evenings falling for

tins. Bass are at the Ponquogue bridge for the clam chummers. Keepers are hard to come by. The Inlet is holding a few keeper bass for those drifting live baits. Peconics The fluke bite has fizzled out over at the Greenlawns, tons of sea robins now. Porgy bite continues around Jessups but not in the numbers or size of a few weeks ago. Plenty of chum and clam baits is best. Blues are moving throughout the bay, trolling an umbrella rig

around south of Robins Island and you should have no problem finding some fish. Weakfish can still be found in the deeper holes if you’re targeting them. Best bassing continues to be up near Shelter Island. Find some live bunker and drift them for some trophy fish. Shorebound The Shinnecock Canal is producing a good amount of fluke with an occasional keeper in the mix. Cocktail blues have also been in the canal in the mornings and evenings. The porgy action at the north end has been slow but that

should pick up and time now. The Shinnecock Inlet has seen fluke, blues, and bass all make their way on to the rocks. Fluke during the day tides, blues at dawn and dusk, and a few bass taking bucktails in the dark. The Ponquogue bridge has blues, schoolie bass, and fluke. Ocean beaches have produced some cocktail bluefish. Scott Jeffrey

Beach Volleyball: A Game Of Open Possibilities Some fitness and wellness activities don’t require a single location. As summer officially sets in, being outdoors has never felt so good, especially after the seemingly endless New York winter. It’s time to break free of those four walls and head to the beach. With so many activities, it can actually be your seasonal gym. And volleyball is one of numerous beach workouts that’s simple to prepare and fun. While you can join a seasonal league, sometimes a spontaneous game is better suited for lazy, hazy weekends. Some perks of the game:

You Can Play Anywhere No shirt? No shoes? No problem! Grabbing a beach volleyball (typically under $10) and your own net (which range in price depending on how serious you plan to be) allows you the freedom to post up anywhere there’s sand. Or go netless and toss things up for fun. As Long Islanders, we’re fortunate to have the sand all around us! You Don’t Need Many People It takes two to tango but it also

only takes two to volley. A typical game is played with up to six players per team. The more the merrier! It’s also a great way to socialize and meet new people. It Has Physical Advantages Since sand isn’t as sturdy as a flat surface, the constant shifting causes a number of physical benefits; balance improvement, body control, lower leg and foot strength, increased agility, and you can burn up to 585 calories in only 45 minutes (according to FitnessHealthZone.com).

It Feels Like a Vacation What other land-based sport allows you to play in a bathing suit? Slather on that SPF -- it’s completely acceptable to play in swimwear to soak up those additional rays. The sunshine provides vitamin D which can decrease depression and the sand is a natural exfoliant. Once you’ve properly exhausted yourself, kudos to a workout well done. Now go jump in the ocean. You’ve earned it!

Fantasy Sports by Rich Murphy

Sometimes SImple is Still Better Fantasy Sports has evolved into a statistics-driven game of high stakes mathematical analysis driven by computer models and advanced sybermetrics.

One night last week I was on the phone with a buddy discussing what players to put in our DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) lineup. “He’s facing a fly ball pitcher,” my friend said. “And his ground ball/fly ball ratio is elevated 8.9 percent. Plus he has an OBP of .411 against lefthanded hitters. The wind is blowing out to left center at 11 miles per hour and he hits the ball in that direction 8.7 percent of the time.”

“So what does it all mean?” I asked. “That he was an 18 percent chance to score at least four points above his graded average.” Oh.

Most of us in the biz look at each day as a statistical event onto itself. To win at DFS you need to spend a minimum of two hours studying each day. My worksheet begins with Team Stacks: the key players on a team that are predicted to score more runs than average. I then list the pitchers who, based on Las Vegas betting patterns, have the best

chance of winning.

I will list players who have a good track record against the pitcher they are facing: that’s the BvP chart. Then there is the HH list (hot hitters) followed by weather patterns: where is the wind blowing out, and in what direction? If it is blowing to rightfield, for example, it will favor left-handed pull hitters. I dutifully make a list of hitters who might be affected by the wind either positively or negatively. After you do all that, you assign a dollar value to each player. Keep in mind you can’t just play whatever players you want; there is a salary cap in play. You must choose a team that fits under the cap to prevent you from loading up on superstars. But sometimes we outthink ourselves. That was the case on this night.

“I have a better idea,” my friend said after a half an hour of finagling with slide rulers, tangents, and cosines. “Let’s just load up with Yankees.” And so we did. In the next 10 games

the Bronx Bombers exploded for 85 runs. Aaron Judge, the rookie phenom who appears to be the second coming of Mickey Mantle, and Gary Sanchez, the catcher who took the baseball world by storm last season, took turns bashing homeruns.

So we put our yellow legal pads and calculators away and penciled in five Yankees (the maximum allowed) into our lineup every night for a week, until their salaries became so high we couldn’t fit them all in. And we won big every night.

There are seven players hitting over .300 on the team, and seven on a pace to hit 20 or more homeruns, which would break the record set by my beloved 1961 Yankees (Maris, Mantle, Skowron, Howard, Berra, and Blanchard). In fact, this current group of Yankees may have more clout than the fabled “Murderer’s Row” of 1927 that included Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

This column is about rip tides, rip currents, and undertows – which are what distant storms often leave us.

Undertow v Rip Tide v Rip Currents Anyone who has ever been to a beach understands undertow. It is the backwash as gravity returns a breaking wave to the sea. All but small children can stand against it – and its effect ends at the leading edge of the next breaking wave. While it might knock you down and thus suck you under, it won’t pull you out to sea. Our mothers didn’t know that because they confused undertow with rip tides and rip currents.

A rip tide is the result of tides and the egress and ingress of large volumes of water flowing through inlets, estuaries, and bays. As facts would have it, most people don’t swim near inlets or where bays meet the sea. They swim near beaches, where sand bars often form, and where rip currents, “the killer current,” form in concert. Rip currents are by far the biggest killers of ocean swimmers. Rip currents form as waves disperse along the beach causing water to become trapped between the beach and a sandbar or other underwater feature. This water becomes the “feeder” that creates the deadly force of the rip current. The water converges into a narrow, river-like channel moving away from the shore at high speed.

Marine scientists define a rip current as having a “neck” (the river-like channel moving away from the shore) and a “head” that is often defined by an unusual disturbance or choppiness in the water and by murky discoloration caused by sand and debris. As the water, and swimmer, reach the

head, the velocity and strength of the rip current circulation begins to weaken considerably. Can I See A Rip Current? Often, yes. As a result of the current’s speed, sand is forced into suspension often causing a rip current to be associated with “dirty” water. It is characterized by a strong, localized current flowing seaward from the shore; visible as an agitated band of water, which is the return movement of water piled up on the shore by incoming waves. Most important, can I get out of the grip of a rip current? If you don’t panic, and play the water’s power to your advantage, yes.

Don’t try to swim back to shore against the rip current that is dragging you out. Most likely, you will tire beyond recovery and drowning will follow as surely as night follows day.

Swim with and across the rip current. Let it give you some speed – as you “Exit, stage left!” or right – but get out of the grip of the current and into normal water.

Then, deal with the hand you’ve been dealt – swim back, or just tread water while waving your arms for help, or just float and rest. This is why swimming with a “buddy system” is so critical.

On The Beat Continued From Page 16.

Another Riverhead Robbery The Riverhead/Flanders area has seen an increasing amount of convenience store robberies in the last two years. On Thursday another occurred - Riverhead Town Police said a man walked into the Citgo shop on Route 58 at about 10:43 PM.

An employee said told police the perpetrator was a black male wearing black clothing, he intimidated the clerk on duty and demanded money – police did not say if he had a weapon or not. The employee handed over an undetermined amount of cash and the robber took off on foot onto Osborn Avenue, eluding police.

a license - and with warrants out on him - for years. Jimmy P. Baculima-Guanolique of Springs, 31, was stopped at about 4:30 AM on June 11 near Hartley Blvd. not far from his Hawthorne Avenue house. Police responding to the scene said they ascertained Guanolique had been drinking excessively. Once his information was entered into the DMV computer the assorted infractions and violations began spitting out, including aggravated unlicensed operation on three different occasions to go with three license suspensions dating back to 2010.

Finally Nailed

He was charged with a misdemeanor count of DWI and a felony count of aggravated unlicensed operation first degree. Guanolique was turned over to the Suffolk County Sheriff ’s department to answer the other charges.

East Hampton Town Police finally caught up with a motorist who has been driving without

player with the New York Giants, has been accused by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of running a Ponzi scheme that milked investors of millions of dollars.

Allen and his business partner, Susan Daub, a former bank executive, made short term loans, oftentimes to professional athletes, totalling some $35 million, according to the FBI. Allen and Daub’s Massachusetts company, Capital Financial Partners (CFP), operated out of Florida.

“The company made some legitimate loans,” said Special Agent Sheila Magoon, a financial fraud expert who investigated the case out of the FBI’s Boston Division, “but relatively early on, they began to defraud investors. Allen and Daub surely knew what they were doing was criminal.” “We researched what they claimed their business was what they said they were doing and what they were actually

doing,” Magoon said. Working with the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, the investigators conducted interviews and analyzed financial and other records. At the same time, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was conducting a civil investigation. In June 2015, Allen and Daub were arrested on criminal charges after being sued by the SEC. In November 2016, each pleaded guilty to wire fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. Of the more than $35 million Allen and Daub received in investments, less than $22 million has been repaid to date. Recently a federal judge in Boston sentenced Allen and Daub to six years in prison and three years of supervised release; they were also ordered to pay restitution of approximately $16.8 million. The judge called Allen and Daub’s crimes an “outrageous, extensive fraud.”
