Supe Strives To Build Trust, Begin Healing her home 40 days after the initial report. Police deemed the death a suicide, but the medical examiner’s ruling wasn’t handed down until the end of February. As time wore on, family members and eventually representatives from the advocacy group LatinoJustice raised questions about the way Southampton Town Police handled the case. Theories abounded, with some feeling police were too quick to determine the deeply religious woman killed herself. People wondered why it took so long to find the body, why a “thorough” search that included a K-9 unit was fruitless. Misinformation about the location of the body spread. People wondered whether local cops

“It was completely tragic,” Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said this week, discussing the death of Lilia Aucapina. “The circumstances around it are very sad. I can’t undo that. But we can discuss the commitment police made in investigating the situation and we can do a better job communicating.” Next week, Schneiderman plans to meet with Aucapina’s family, police, and Latino advocates to review an analysis of the investigation. Aucapina was reported missing in October. The Sagaponack woman’s body was found in the woods near
investigated the case aggressively enough, whether they committed adequate resources to the case, whether Latino lives matter to police. Within weeks of the discovery of Aucapina’s body, family members asked the case to be turned over to the county homicide squad. Suspicion was cast on Aucapina’s estranged husband, Carlos, who allegedly violated an order of protection his wife had in place the day she went missing. Schneiderman took office in January and the family and LatinoJustice continued to ask for a probe into how police handled the case. Last week, the supervisor met with police and poured over details This week police and Southampton Town officials will meet with Lilia Aucapina’s family to analyze the investigation into her death. She was missing 40 days before her body was found.

of the investigation. He reviewed the long- aborning coroner’s report, which affirmed the preliminary determination. It was a suicide. “ E v e r y t h i n g m a t c h e s u p ,” Schneiderman said. Within four hours of the missing persons report filing, police began a parallel track of investigating it as a homicide, the supervisor reported. “You can’t say police didn’t devote enough resources, they absolutely did. You can’t say they didn’t investigate other possibilities [besides suicide], they absolutely did.” Schneiderman vowed to share any element of the investigation that can be discussed with Aucapina’s family. “Whatever the family wants, I’ll give them,” he said. While Schneiderman hopes a thorough briefing will assuage the family’s concerns, he realizes there may be a broader issue – a general reluctance on the part of the Hispanic community to trust police. “If people feel we don’t value Latino lives as much as others, we have a problem with perception,” he said. He hopes representatives from LatinoJustice and Minerva Perez, the new executive director of OLA, can help bridge any divide between law enforcement and the Latino community.

would not have use of Uber cars. Our children and grandchildren would not be able to get a superior education at a charter school. And the horse-drawn carriages that are such a wonderful symbol of New York City would be eliminated, with the beautiful horses sent to a glue factory. I know de Blasio is a leftist who is the star of a Bernie Sanders’ wet dream as the leader of one of the world’s great cities. So why was I so shocked at the latest de Blasio idiocy? Politicians sometimes say stupid things. Here are some of them: “What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.” -Dan Quayle “Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?” -George W. Bush “A zebra does not change its spots.” -Al Gore “I’ve now been in 57 states – I think one left to go.” -Barack Obama “Life is indeed precious, and I believe the death penalty helps affirm this fact.” -Former New York City Mayor Edward Koch “Outside of the killings, D.C. has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.” - Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry So get ready. Here comes the dumbest thing ever said by a politician. As background: The latest

problem in New York City is that innocent people are having their faces slashed by crazies who cut the face of a total stranger with a knife or a razor. Sometimes it’s after the victim was asked for money by the perpetrator. Other times not a word is exchanged before the slasher strikes. Reports indicate that so far, New York has averaged more than 10 such attacks per day in the first six weeks of 2016. Many of the attacks are happening in subways. Almost all the slashers have been homeless or living in a shelter. And most have a history of mental illness. Many people I know are carrying loose dollars in their pocket to pay off a beggar when they are asked for money rather than risk an attack. So what has de Blasio said about this situation to calm people’s fears? Read this local newspaper report about the press conference he called to address the issue: “Mayor Bill de Blasio tried to put a positive spin on the 20-plus knife and razor attacks that have wracked New York City since last November — suggesting that people are turning to cutting weapons because the NYPD has been so successful confiscating their guns. “‘I’m not a criminologist, but I can safely say that guns are being taken off the street in an unprecedented way. Some people, unfortunately, are turning to a different weapon.’” The mayor asserted that knives, shivs and razors are “less deadly” than guns. This is ridiculous. Does the mayor really believe that homeless people who can’t afford a cup of coffee once had guns that were taken away from them by the police, so now they have to resort to razors, knives and box cutters? While the mayor was putting his idiotic spin on this story, a Bronx Dunkin’ Donuts owner became the latest New Yorker to take a blade to the face after a homeless man she had ejected from her business earlier returned seeking revenge. The question is, did de Blasio say what he said because he’s that dumb, or did he say it because he thinks we are that dumb and will believe him? Either way, this mayor is a fool and we must vote him out of office. If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Lane to Griffing Street. In Westhampton Beach, “Mr. Conehead,” John Murray, will lead the parade, which begins at noon. He’s been participating in the annual event since the late 70s when, he said, “someone talked me into it.” During the golden years of “Saturday Night Live,” The Coneheads were a favored set of characters. One day in New York City, Murray found a store that sold conehead masks. A friend bought him one for his birthday and, he recalled, “My wife said, ‘That’s nice, but what are you going to do with it?’” And so, a legend was born. The Coneheads, led by Murray, have been a fixture in the WHB parade ever since. Murray’s kids grew up being cones, and floats have boasted themes matched to the times and local notables, like the year participants dubbed themselves “The Hurricones,” playing off the high school’s team name. “It’s been a tradition that’s kept going, amazingly,” Murray said this week. “It’s something that lets us burst through after a long winter.” The Coneheads, and especially Murray, don’t just appear at the parade in Westhampton. Sure, and they’ve won first place in their hometown, but they’ve also marched in the Montauk Friends of Erin parade, taking top honors. “It doesn’t really matter if we win,” said Murray. “We’re really just having fun, and that’s why we do it.” And when he’s not marching? Murray’s worn the cone all over the world – to Havana, Australia, and France, the last being almost mandatory. Ask Beldar and Prymatt where they’re from and the original coneheads always reply, “We’re from France.” The Westhampton Beach Parade begins at noon. HUGS, Inc. will host its sixth annual Family Friendly Alcohol-Free Viewing Zone along the parade route at 108C Mill Road. There will be coffee, snacks and a prime space for viewing marchers.

`Exorbitant’ CPF Purchase Thwarted By Board Watcher By Rick Murphy
East Hampton Town was set to purchase a small lot almost completely engulfed by wetlands for $475,000 -- just weeks after it had been sold privately for $352,000 -- until a whistleblower intervened. The town has put the matter on hold for now, but officials are still contemplating going through with it. On October 26, 2015 Britton Bistrian appeared before the CPF Advisory Board and urged its members to recommend the parcel in question, 33 Cross Highway, be

purchased by the town. “She is the current owner and would very much like to see the Town acquire it for preservation. The parcel is less than 200’ from Gardiners Bay and 65 percent of the site contains fresh water wetlands,” read the minutes of that meeting. Actually Bistrian didn’t own the parcel – yet. She, along with Addie Bistrian, closed the deal on November 3, after the town indicated its interest in the property. The seller, Amagansett Development Company LLC, transferred the deed for $352,500. The same day Britton Bistrian and Patrick Bistrian Jr. bought an adjoining parcel, 35 Old Stone Highway from the estate of Josh Segal. Segal, recently deceased, was coowner of both parcels, as is Britton Bistrian now. Adjacent lots that no longer conform to zoning restrictions are often placed in separate ownership to prevent the town from merging them together. That parcel at number 35 is improved with a house that is rented
to three tenants. The purchase price, according to county records, was $500,000. The town wasted no time moving forward with the purchase of the vacant parcel, scheduling and holding a public hearing on February 25.
Persistent Critic Scott Wilson, the head of the town’s land management department, urged the town board to approve the deal. He said the “wetlands feed into Fresh Pond” and that “any construction would require filling.” He said the town had an appraisal supporting the $475,000 purchase price and enthusiastically recommended the town go through with the deal. David Buda, an attorney from Springs who has been a persistent critic of the town’s CPF decisions, addressed the town board next. Buda was flabbergasted at the appraisal. He questioned the value of buying the wetlands parcel. “What should the town be paying? It has marginal value.” Buda also questioned how the town could have an appraisal justifying the $475,000 proposed purchase price. The town does not release apprais-
als until after a deal has been consummated. He told the board the deal was an example of “flipping property to make a profit” and called the purchase price “exorbitant.” The lot is not linked via land to Fresh Pond, he asserted – there are fully developed lots on all sides of it. Wilson said the lot was “absolutely part of the Fresh Pond watershed. Water flows down.” Marguerite Wolffsohn, the town’s Planning Director, acknowledged the lot would be difficult if not impossible to build on, but pointed out the town would eventually have to condemn it and buy it if it denied the owners a building permit. No structure can be built within 100 feet of the wetlands, and the sanitary system must be 150-feet away, she said. There is no clearing of any kind within 50 feet. With front setbacks of 20-feet, rear, and side yard and back yard setbacks of 15-feet already in place, there is no room on the parcel for a structure of any kind. Buda also sent a letter he wrote to Councilwoman Sylvia Overby pointing out his concerns. She said CONTINUED ON PAGE B-3.
Buzz thinks buying a new car should still be a fun experience. Not that long ago, buying a new car was a great experience for the whole family. Unfortunately, not so much anymore for some people. That’s because some local dealers have been using dubious tactics like the old bait-and-switch or confusing payment plans and extra charges. Not at Buzz Chew. You only need to know three things. First, the price you pay when you pick up your new car or truck is the same as the day you looked at it. Second, Buzz believes it’s only a good deal if both parties are satis�ed. Third, Buzz’s name is on every car and truck.

Question Veterans’ Exemptions The East Hampton Town Board is going to raise the level of property tax exemptions for veterans, as many municipalities have already done. But things got a little testy at the February 25 town board meeting after a member of the public questioned the board about the exemption. David Buda said he “meant no disrespect,” but noted that the town board did not place a dollar cost on the exemptions. “This is not a freebee,” he pointed out, “unless you reduce the budget by the same amount, which I doubt.” The truth is whenever a municipality grants an exemption “it impacts all the other residents.” Buda noted the town intends to “Increase [the exemptions] to the maximum amount allowed by the state” and assumed the town board had no idea what the financial impact on other taxpayers would be. “The town board should have requested an impact statement,” Buda said. He accused members of acting “without taking the time to gather the pertinent facts.” Several veterans then took the podium to admonish him. There are different exemption levels for veterans, which increase further according to status: veterans who served in wartime get an extra 15 percent, and combat veterans get an additional 10 percent. Disabled veterans get the highest exemption. The proposal before the town board will increase the exemption 40 percent in all three categories. “I can’t believe what I’m hearing from Buda,” exclaimed Bob Rizzardi, VFW Post 550. “I don’t believe we should have to go through red tape for something that is honoring us.” “I find this to be an insult,” said Robert McGuire. “You’re giving a pittance to people who have given their blood and their lives.” Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said the town did indeed check the financial impact on the town, and it is about $50,000. “We had Len [Bernard, the Town Budget Officer] take a look at it.” Cantwell said there are about 345 properties eligible for the enhanced exemptions.

A memorandum went down with the wrong address and the county used the wrong tax ID number.” He said the matter is being corrected. “She thought she paid $500,000,” Wilson said of Bistrian. She can now apply for a building permit but would need numerous variances to build even a 600-square foot house, the minimum allowed. The process would be long and tedious, but eventually the town would be forced to condemn the property if it didn’t issue a building permit, Wilson said. Buda questioned how a vacant lot with wetlands covering it could cost more than a developed lot with an income-producing tenant. Wilson said the town couldn’t question the transaction. “Some people get good deals.” Tom Knobel, the Town Republican Party leader, has long criticized the methodology behind CPF purchases. “A lot of these are prearranged deals. They are all set up from the inside.” Knobel said part of the problem is the town has “a huge pot of money” being divvied up by insiders, including brokers. “We’ve asked for executed cop-
B-3
ies of the contracts. We’re going to review this,” said Supervisor Larry Cantwell. Bistrian declined to comment about the matter. East Hampton Town has been chastised for misusing CPF money in the past, specifically under Democratic regimes. A former town clerk, Ted Hults, was accused of raiding the CPF to cover up budgetary shortfalls during the tenure of Supervisor Bill McGintee, who was forced to resign. A more recent purchase, of the 555 property in Amagansett, by the current town board is under scrutiny of the Suffolk County District Attorney, whose office suspects a structure on the site shouldn’t have been included in the deal. In 2005 the Democratic-controlled town board agreed to buy Keyes Island for a whopping $3.8 million in a deal many charged had political implications. The island had been on the market for years without attracting any buyers and the asking price had been lowered several times before it suddenly reappeared on the market at a higher price. As it was the town paid almost $400,000 more than the appraisal on file.
ton said bacteria in Fresh Pond during the summer exceeds acceptable limits and that she was offering it to the town for less than she paid for the parcel. A copy of the deed transfer obtained by The Independent clearly sets the sale price at $352,500.
A Snafu? But Wilson said there was a snafu in the deed recording. “Mr. Buda and Bistrian are both correct.

Knobel Fired From County Job, Quits Town Post
By Rick Murphy
It’s been a rough few months for Tom Knobel. After getting thrashed in his bid to become East Hampton Town Supervisor in November, Knobel was summarily fired from his long time job at the Suffolk County Board of Elections. He is also stepping down as East Hampton Town Republican Party Chairman, he said this week.
Knobel, 60, was earning $78,453 at the BOE office in Yaphank and had worked as a forms processor for 16 years. “I was called in on a Friday and given the news,” he related. “I asked if there was a reason and they told me they are not required to give me a reason. What can I say?” Knobel is the third veteran ousted from the BOE in the past six months. Deputy Commissioner Bill Ellis, who also ser ves as

Smithtown Republican Chairman, was fired from his $120,400 a year job in October. Michael Torres, an assistant Deputy Commissioner who earned $105,000, was also fired in October. He was secretary of the Suffolk County Conservative Committee at the time. It has been reported Torres was fired as retaliation after the Conservative Party’s endorsement of Democrats for judgeships in November. John J. LaValle, the chairman of the Suffolk County Republican Party, has declined to comment about the firings. “In my opinion he directs the [BOE] commissioner,” Knobel said. The BOE positions are considered political patronage jobs

Knobel said he “has no idea why we are purging our own” but he noted that there has never been a complaint about his job performance. Knobel said he is stepping down from his town position as well but did not want to speculate about his replacement. “It’s not a good idea to live from beyond the grave,” he said. Co-chair Reg Cornelia would be one option as his replacement, Knobel speculated.

RICK’S SPACE This week, while Rick is off covering the high school basketball tournament, we are proud to publish a guest column by a true American icon – Mr. Hugh Hefner!
Here’s Hef!
The good news is I sleep with seven lucky women. The bad news is I’m not a Mormon. But hey, I’m Hef, and I can still do it even though I’m 89. It’s all about The Now, and I’m still as hip as any young cat, and Playboy is if anything, more relevant than it was 30 er, make that 50 years ago. Baby, know this: Hef is still a player. You probably read about my birthday bash. All the hepcats and Hollywood shakers and movers were there — Sammy, Shelly, Angie, Dino, Frank, the whole crew. And of course, my seven little lovelies. You probably wonder why they all have blonde hair, blue eyes, and big knockers. The answer is simple: I’m 89. In other words, who remembers their names? Bimbo, Bambi, Cookie, Candy . . . whatever. I call them all “Babe.” Works for me. People ask me all the time if I can still service them. What does that mean, service? You mean like do I change their oil? What are they, cars? And I don’t wanna hear any rim job jokes or I’ll order you to leave the mansion, understand? Let’s just say at this point in my life I’m like Jiffy Lube, I’m in and out before ya know it, get it? Yeah, so I have a little gas, big deal. When you have as much money
as I do you begin to think you’ll live forever. Remember Bob Hope? The guy was 100, for Christ’s sake. He had fluids coming out of his ear, his nose, his mouth, from between his toes, his belly button, his eyes. He didn’t die, he just turned from solid to a liquid. That’s what will happen to me, except my Johnson. There’s so much Viagra in me that thing will be standing up straight for the next billion years. It’s like uranium — it has a half-life of 500,000 years. I mean, when they finally do bury me, the thing will be stickin’ up from the ground like a freakin’ tree. Let me give you a tour around the mansion. You’ve seen the swimming pool on TV, I’m sure. I had it made into a real grotto — there are three waterfalls and six or seven little tunnels and nooks and crannies. I bagged babes in every one of them. See that little cave over there? I had Bette Davis in there. Under that waterfall over there? I nailed Loretta Young. Over by the hot tub? Patti Page. I think I got Satchel Paige in there, too. Whatever. I don’t go in the caves anymore – too much like tombs to my liking. Truth is I haven’t been in the pool in years, since the time Shecky did a belly flop and damn near killed me and half the bunnies from the tidal

wave. Those were the days. Come on in, let me show you around. This is my study. I have over 10,000 books. Never read one, never. I spend most of my time looking at pictures of nude women. I get paid to do that. Who has it better than me? I look at nude women all day, then I hang out with nude women all night, then I go to sleep with nude women. Sometimes I wish they’d put some freakin’ clothes on. The weird thing is, none of them are airbrushed in real life — what’s up with that? Come on upstairs. This is my personal suite. I popped Tuesday Weld over on that couch. She was like, 18 or something. Whatever. I had Natalie Wood over on that chaise. I did Bardot on the hamper. Sophia on the floor of the balcony. She screamed in Italian. I think she was ordering manicotti or somethin’. This is the guest wing over here. Peter Lawford stayed over for like, 20 years. We had the Doublemint twins over on that bed. They both chewed gum the whole time. Whatever, right? I’ve had seven presidents here. Of course, we kept it quiet. JFK used to come with Marilyn. So did Bobby. Joey D. came with her, too. Lawford did too. Hoffa had her in that hot tub over there. I’m like, fellas, don’t forget about me! It’s all good, right? She was a real lady, that one. There’s the kitchen. I never go in there. Truth is, I don’t eat much.

I have Viagra and champagne, mostly. When I’m not making love I’m usually sleeping. That’s why I’m always in my PJs. People want to know if I practice safe sex. The answer is, of course. Playboy has always been about safe sex. I have a condom on my entire body. That’s as safe as it gets. I am pretty much a Viagra-munching, champagne-sipping human condom. OK that’s the tour of the mansion. I gotta go. Joey Bishop is coming over — all the hot ones stop by to see me and the bunnies. Dinah’s gonna sing at the party tonight. It’s gonna be a swinging night. Help yourself to one of the girls. Go ahead! It’s OK! That’s what they’re here for. Try Muffin over there, or Trixie, the redhead. She’s a fine lady. Just look at those cantaloupes. Go for a dip in the pool. Look at all the girls, they have giant flotation devices on their chests! These broads could float across the Atlantic with them jugs, am I right? Make yourself a drink and relax. What’s my secret? I love women, that’s it. I love and respect them. They are an art form, like Venus, except they have arms and bigger knobbies. People ask me, would I do it differently if I had to do the whole thing over? I’m like, yeah, right! Be well. Drop by again. Say hello to the little lady for me. Keep in touch with yourself.

She takes me to the beach on long runs I never have seen water or sand before it is beautiful. Sometimes she allows me to run for a short distance but when she calls I run back, sit, and stay. She tells me what a good girl I am. I am able to have quiet time in my crate I never chew or Pee or poop except outside. I give licks and kisses and delight in receiving them back I also have my own personal trainer her name is Gina. Gina taught me to stop jumping up when I meet people, I guess it's because I am so excited for human contact but I know to sit and stay now I am waiting for someone to give me a chance to show how special I am.

EDITORIAL
Real Talk Required
It’s not like the TV shows or crime novels or movies. With the exception of squad cars and uniforms, real life police work bears little resemblance to what most of us learn of cops from TV shows like “Rizzoli & Isles.” Detective Jane Rizzoli stays up for days on end to solve her cases every week; real police rarely do. Dr. Maura Isles processes evidence in a matter of hours; in the real world it can take months. Real world issues like overtime budgets and backlogged labs come into play when real life investigations commence. And police need to tell us that. The ensuing – and unnecessary – dissatisfaction with and suspicion of police in the wake of the tragic death of Lilia Aucapina could have been avoided. This week, Southampton Town officials will meet with her family with the goal of diminishing distrust and, according to Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, answering any questions they may have. Answering their questions . . . three months after Aucapina’s body was found. Why the delay? Some of it relates to the “real life” realities of police work – the coroner’s analysis was just completed at the end of last month and that’s an unfortunate reality. More unfortunate, however, was an apparent lack of communication, or adequate communication, that left the family thinking police felt Aucapina’s life didn’t matter. Transparency is a tricky thing, when it comes to police investigations. Some information, if publicized, can impede investigations or even give bad guys a heads up. Other information, if publicized, can rub salt in the wounds of survivors. The line between offering adequate information and imperiling an investigation is a fine one, and no doubt changeable, depending on the case. Could police have been more forthcoming with Aucapina’s family? Only they will know after all the information is presented in a private confab this week. Keeping confidential information from the public could be considered a way police departments “protect.” To truly “serve” they need to find a way to help the community, especially our non English speaking members, understand reasons for reticence. They need to tell us what they can, and when information is confidential, tell us why they can’t release it. We applaud Schneiderman and STPD officials for their willingness to begin a dialogue about transparency, communication, and ultimately, trust.

Worse Than A Ponzi
Dear Rick, Re: Social Insecurity: You started off great, “There is a lot of misinformation out there about Social Security,” but went downward from there.
There are so many errors in your article that they can’t be adequately addressed in this limited space. You stated: “The present system needs to change or it will become insolvent.” You backed this up with a New York Times quote, “it is currently solvent only until 2033. After that, without reforms, it would pay about 75 percent of promised benefits.” Why is that? You never actually get around to describing the current system, but do appear to support tax increases
www.indyeastend.com
Insight

By Ed Gifford to maintain the current level of benefits: that’s simply kicking the can down the road. The problem with the current system is that it is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. That simply means that retirees are paid out of current workers taxes. In other words, it more resembles a Ponzi scheme than a proper retirement plan. Of course, it’s not a Ponzi scheme -
Is it just me?
Every time I read the newspaper I’m filled with outrage over what’s going on in the world!
March 9, 2016
it’s much worse than a Ponzi scheme. Ponzi schemes are voluntary, and once “investors” realize what’s going on, they drop out, hopefully a little wiser. Social Security has no opt-out option. In fact when taxes decrease, vis a vis benefits, rates go up. As a result, Social Security’s tax rate has increased twenty times (520 percent) since 1935, to the present level of Continued on Page 12. © Karen Fredericks
Maybe you shouldn’t read the paper anymore.
Are you kidding? You know my motto.
A day without outrage is like a day without sunshine!

Continued from page 11. 12.4 percent of covered wages. The wage cap has increased some sixty times, from the original $3,000 to today’s level of $118,500, an increase of 38,500 percent. In total, the maximum annual Social Security tax of $14,694 is more than twenty-four thousand percent higher than what was called for in the original legislation. Naturally, benefits have also increased. At the high end, benefits increased some three thousand percent. The working poor make out much better. Thanks to subsidies provided by higher wage workers, their increase is closer to four thousand percent. Rick, perhaps you can use a future column to explain the difference between benefit increases and tax increases, and why Social Security is such a good thing. Rick, as a champion of the working class, you can also explain why the pathetic benefit Social Security pays working class retirees is a good return on lifetime annual payments of 10.4 percent of wages (that’s the percent of Social Security that goes to the retirement fund). You may also want to explain why that, even after being heavily subsidized by higher wage workers, the pathetic promised Social Security benefits are not guaranteed, but are subject to reduction at the whim of Congress. Be sure to inform your readers that no matter what they think, or have been told by the government, Social Security is not an earned entitlement. You may conclude by explaining why I’m wrong in calling Social Security the most egregious fraud ever perpetrated on the American people, or why Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute was wrong to call Social Security “a tax on one side, and a welfare program on the other.” RICHARD O’BRIEN
No Columbus Day? Dear Editor, As a resident of Southampton School District, a taxpayer for well over 45 years, and a retired school teacher, who taught in the district, I am appalled at what is about to take place at the next Board of Education Meeting on Tuesday, March 15th. Did you know that the proposed school district calendar for 2016-17 is to be voted on? Did you know that there is a big change in it? It has been proposed that the Monday, October 10 holiday be changed. Columbus Day is to be eliminated totally. In its place instead is Indigenous Day.

JUST ASKING
IN THE NEWS
By Karen Fredericks
Will Obama get a chance to appoint a new Supreme Court Justice?
Eric Harris I don’t think so. I think they’ll rely on what Joe Biden said years ago: Supreme Court Justices should not be given a hearing in an election year. Republicans will adopt the position the Democrats had at that time. I think that’s correct. The voters should have a voice. Andrea Simon I think the Republicans are tremendous obstructionists. But I hope Obama will fight it.
Michael Burns I think the Republican majority will prevent it. I thought it was interesting that Obama floated the name of the Governor of Nevada, a moderate Republican. That was a brilliant move. Absolute genius. But then the Governor declined. We’ll see, won’t we? Nancy Page I think he’ll get a chance. But whether he’ll succeed is another question. He’s adamant about the fact that he’s going to nominate somebody and he’s not going to listen to Mitch McConnell tell him how to do his job. But Mitch McConnell is just as adamant.
Letters & Obit Policy
The Independent publishes all letters to the editor we receive provided they are not libelous and emailed to news@indyeastend.com. We strive to print all obituaries as well but in the event we can’t, they will be published online at www.indyeastend.com. Please try to keep copy under 400 words.
Columbus Day has been celebrated for centuries and became a Federal Holiday in 1937. Most post offices, banks, schools and government offices are closed on Columbus Day. All East End schools are closed for Columbus Day. Yet, it has come to my attention that this historic, meaningful, and government recognized holiday, is about to be eliminated from the Southampton School District Calendar, to be replaced by a holiday of another culture! What a slap in the face to everyone near and far of Italian heritage! My grandparents immigrated from Italy over 100 years ago through Ellis Island. Their four sons fought with honor in WWII. Their three daughters were New York Public School teachers. Their grandchildren became doctors, financial advisors and teachers. Now their greatgrandchildren have careers in the business world, architecture and education. I mention this because Columbus Day has come to represent, not only the discoveries of Christopher Columbus, but the pride Americans have for their Italian
heritage, culture, accomplishments in the arts, sciences, medicine, education and government, to name but a few. The Shinnecock Nation Cultural Center and Museum’s mission is to “promote awareness, understanding, and appreciation of Shinnecock history and culture.” To take away Columbus Day in our school district shows gross disrespect for Italians and Italian Americans and is divisive, at a time in history that we should be promoting goodwill and peace. Please write, phone, email, your trustees and attend the BOE meeting on Tuesday, March 15th, so that we might continue to promote awareness, understanding and appreciation of Italian history and culture.

Continued from page 4. prevent the next one? Is there more we can do as a community?” Schneiderman observed. He believes there are resources to help people in crisis that they may not be aware of. “I want to make sure people are aware there are services available and if there are holes, I want to make sure they are covered. Whenever there’s a tragedy, you want to prevent the next one,” he said. While reaching out to the victim’s family and the community at large is a socially just act, it’s also a practical one. Schneiderman noted that in some Southampton School districts, Latinos are no longer the minority. Population numbers prove outreach to the Latino community is more than merely kind; it’s a necessity. Beginning a conversation that enhances relations will, said Perez, “strengthen the whole fabric of the community.” The idea of finding ways to reach out to immigrants is in “such a beginning stage,” Perez noted. But, she continued, “It’s definitely hopeful.” Like Schneiderman, the advocate believes that communication with the Aucapina family in the specific case and with the Latino community in general, is key. “I was so happy to hear Jay was ready . . . to have the hardest questions come your way and allow a dialogue to happen that wasn’t happening last year . . . what we do now is really about dialogue.” Even if it wasn’t the case, the message put out during the

Aucapina investigation was that it wasn’t okay to ask police questions. “Perception is reality and we’re responsible for that. You have to be responsible for the perception you’re creating,” she said. “You have to start off being okay having questions asked of you.” O n M o n d a y, S o u t h a m p t o n Town Police Chief Robert Pearce acknowledged, “There are definitely a lot of things we have to work on as far as cultural awareness.” Interacting with the surging Hispanic population, “There are challenges, without a doubt,” he said. Speaking generally, he said one can understand the fear that interaction with police could lead to deportation. “But that’s not our mission,” he emphasized. As the Latino population has grown, he said, “We have more and more encounters with the Hispanic community. We have to adjust.” The use of a language line program to interpret for nonEnglish speakers has been expanded in the department, and Pearce is looking to hire more interpreters. “We’re always looking for ways to address the concerns of the public,” Pearce continued. “We want to have open ears.” STPD’s handling of the Aucapina case “rocked the community,” Pe r e z o p i n e d . B u t w i t h t h e meeting planned next week, and Schneiderman’s willingness to begin a dialogue aimed at enhancing trust between the police and the public, she believes, “Southampton Town is in a good position to completely turn it around.”

On Sunday, members of the East Hampton Fire Department attended an Aircraft Emergency training class at the East Hampton Airlines hanger at the East Hampton Airport. The class, taught by Suffolk County Fire Academy instructor Tim Murphy, introduced firefighters to basic aircraft firefighting techniques, as well as informed them about the different types of emergency systems aboard the various types of aircraft that use the airport.

with another, yet this is what Southampton School District wants to do, replace Columbus Day with “Indigenous Day.” Southampton School District wants to ram this change in without anyone noticing until it’s too late to do anything about it. They haven’t made the proposed 2016/17 district calendar available on the district website for the community to view. The Southampton BOE repeatedly states that they welcome feedback. How can community members give feedback on a subject when the pertinent information isn’t provided to them? Perhaps this lack of information is all part of the plan to sneak this change in place. This district prides itself on its inclusiveness and multiculturalism, yet eliminating the celebration of significant part of our culture is not inclusive at all. LORI TUTT
Sanders Socialist Revolution Letter to the Editor, Bernie Sanders is a Socialist who would upset our established economic principles.
Sanders wants to penalize the successful wealthy people in this country by increasing their taxes, reducing their wealth, and redistributing the money to less successful people. He is a proponent of mediocrity and questions American Capitalism and the free enterprise system. He will stymie people’s quest to improve their status and move up the ladder of success. Sanders wants to conduct a “political revolution” which could upset our democratic principles and viability. Looking back at major political revolutions which have occurred in recent times, I recall an Iranian political revolution by the Ayatollahs, the Cuban political Revolution by Fidel Castro, and the Russian political revolution by Lenin and the Communists. I don’t want any revolutions to occur in this country. Revolutions typically occur in other countries which are characterized by instability and totalitarianism. As a side note, and as a Navy veteran, I am highly disappointed in the lack of oversight of the VA by Senator Sanders when he served as Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. Senator Sanders is not the person to be our President and Commander-In-Chief. Clinton is more viable than Sanders. DONALD MOSKOWITZ

Bees Fall In Regional Final
Independent/Courtesy BFD
By Rick Murphy
You live by the three, you die by the three. As countless basketball teams have found out the hard way, the old hoop adage is true more often than not. In the case of the Bridgehampton Killer Bees, their infatuation with the three-point bomb proved fatal in the end. On March 1, playing at SCC-
Selden, the Bees won the semifinal Regional, besting Eldred 67-40 and nailing 10 triples in the process. Friday, playing at Pace University in Westchester, the Bees couldn’t buy a bucket, and Clark Academy made the locals pay, besting Bridgehampton 67-56. The defeat ended the Bees’ run at a second consecutive state title. The ball simply wouldn’t drop for the locals, who converted only two

of 21 three-point attempts. Give the Knights some credit, though – guard Andre Carthorn was the best player on the floor, and too quick for the sluggish Bees. “Their point guard was very fast, and they were very hungry,” said assistant coach Joe Zucker after the game. Still, Zucker and Bees head coach Carl Johnson had scouted Clark and knew what to expect. The game plan was to pound the ball into Josh Lamison and for a while it worked. The Bees led after one stanza, 20-19. The second quarter was more than a nightmare – it was quite possibly the worst eight minutes of basketball in the storied history of the team. The Bees were outscored 16-3 and made only one of nine shots. The Bees were too good not to make a run, though, and they did just that, shaving a 12 point deficit to seven at the end of the third and then making a spirited run with the game on the line in the waning minutes. “We got within four and actually stole the ball, but they stole it right back again,” Zucker lamented. “If we score then, I like our chances.” Given a second wind, Clark slammed

the door as the Bees were forced to attempt three-pointers without success. The final was 67-56. The Bees finish with an 18-5 mark: in each of the losses the team shot poorly from beyond the arc. There are excuses, though the Bees coaching staff would have none of that. Two of the team’s top players, Tylik Furman and Lamison, were in foul trouble for much of the game. And Furman, the team’s best defensive player, has been wearing a leg brace and playing with a torn meniscus. Against Eldred, the danger signals were there. The Bees made 10 threes as aforesaid but missed 27, going long stretches without getting the ball into Lamison. Eldred, though, as opposed to Clark, couldn’t cope with the Bees’ defense and was unable to overcome an early deficit. The Bees were up by four late in the first quarter when a blistering 15-2 run sealed the deal; Furman drove the lance to score, and fed Lamison inside after a turnover to end the first quarter up 17-11. Harding hit Elijah Jackson for a wide open three to open the second quarter, Furman stole the ball and scored in traffic, then Jackson came up with a steal and Furman pulled up for an open three that swished. Moments later Furman came up with another steal and found Jackson alone on the perimeter for another bomb. Suddenly, it was 2811. The Bees substituted liberally from that point on and recorded an easy 67-50 win. Against Clark Furman tallied 15, Lamison 14, Jackson 12 and Elijah Harding 10. Carthorn scored 20 for the winners. “Our scorers did what they needed to do. We just didn’t play well against a beatable team,” Zucker lamented. He praised his players, particularly Furman and Josh Lamison. “They played five years and we made it to four regionals and won a state title,” he pointed out. Lamison tallied 19 against Eldred, Furman added 15, Hostetler 12 and Jackson 12. The truism in this neck of the woods is that the Bees don’t rebuild, they reload. Jackson will be back for his senior year and figures to be one of the higher scorers in the county. J.P. Harding, only a freshman, Elijah (La La) Harding and Nykell Dean also figure to earn berths in the starting five.

Mariners Repeat As Long Island Champs By Rick Murphy
Ver y few teams have ever managed to win the Long Island Class B Championship two years in a row, but the Southampton Mariners have turned the trick. The Locals took the coveted trophy on March 1. Playing against Nassau County champion Oyster Bay at SCC-Selden the Mariners came out running. Catching the Baymen flat-footed, they opened up a 15-point lead, and coasted the rest of the way, winning 83-67. Once again a Johnson led Southampton. Last year Isaiah, the burly six-five senior forward, caught fire at the end of the season and carried the Mariners on his back through the county playoffs. This season Israel (Izzy) Johnson, the younger brother, did the identical thing. On this night Johnson riddled Oyster Bay for 23 points but as always it was the other things that set him apart from most other players. He hits the boards – seven rebounds in this game but often more. He is unselfish, making sure his teammates get good looks (six assists) and he is a ballhawk, consistently coming up with steals (three). He elevates his game at crunch time. Back on February 2 the Mariners weren’t even sure they would make the playoffs: then Johnson went off for 35 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists and Southampton upended Babylon. The next game Johnson had 30 points, eight assists, and eight rebounds. Southampton won six league games in a row and won the division title. Aaron Krzyzewski tallied 18 for the winners against Oyster Bay, Elijah Wingfield 15 and Gene Scott 10. The win set up a trip to the Regional Final at Mount St. Mary College in Purchase Saturday against Marlboro Central, and Southampton proved no match for the Dukes,
losing 79-65 after falling behind by 20 points at halftime. Again and again Johnson tried to rally his charges, knifing through the defense, often drawing charges. At one point Southampton was within 10, but Marlboro, which employs a balanced scoring attack and a suffocating defense, was simply too strong for the locals. All five starters scored in double figures for the winners. Johnson ended his career with a season high 36 points. It was the fourth time he has scored 30 or more points in the past month. Chad Pike added 14 against Marlboro. Southampton finished 16-8 on the season. The Mariners were forced to play without Micah
Snowden, the only legitimate inside player on the team. Snowden was suffering concussion-like symptoms after taking a blow to the head against Oyster Bay. The victory earned Marlboro
Central, 22-3, a berth in the State Final Four Tournament in Glens Falls for the first time. The Dukes will face Bishop Grimes, a perennial powerhouse Friday at 8 PM. Grimes, out of East Syracuse, is 23-1.

Lady Tuckers Finally Fall By Rick Murphy
It was a helluva run. The Mattituck Lady Tuckers were eliminated in the Class B R e g i o n a l F i n a l S a t u r d a y, succumbing to Section IX champion Marlboro Central at St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue, 74 - 61. Fo u r d a y s e a r l i e r t h e locals knocked off Carle Place to take the Long Island Class B Championship, capping off the most successful season in the history of the school. The locals were hit by a blitzkrieg early on as the Iron Dukes came out with tremendous intensity and quickly opened up a double-digit lead. Mattituck was down by 21 midway through the third when the Lady Tuckers finally got their sea legs. Liz Dwyer hit a pair of free throws, Katie Hoeg drained a three-pointer, and Dwyer buried another trey. But Marlboro was holding the better cards and led by Missy Sadler the Iron Dukes went on an 11-2 run to open the final stanza and curtail
the threat. Dwyer, only a junior, led all scorers with 28 points. Hoeg, a graduating senior, is off to North Carolina to play field hockey. Marlboro, now 22-2, plays Westhill 23-1 in the state semifinals Friday. Mattituck finishes with a 21-3 mark. The Lady Tuckers survived a nail biter against Carle Place, with neither team able to establish a lead. Briana Perino put the locals ahead for good 35-33. Dwyer and Corinne Reda each scored 11 for the winners. In Class C action a very game Pierson/Bridgehampton team fell to East Rockaway in the Long Island championship game March 1 at St. Joseph’s. The Lady Whalers (13-8) had their chances but found baskets hard to come by with the Lady Rocks’ sixfoot one-inch junior center Alessia Drevnyak anchoring the paint. Lily Kot led the losers with 12 points; the team returns four starters from this year’s squad next season. Erica Selyukova, playing her final game, tallied nine points.
