Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman discussed recommendations made by the town’s Opioid Addiction Task Force last Thursday.

“This is not going to sit,” he said.

The task force also set its sights on transitional housing programs, more commonly referred to as sober living homes, which often receive government money to operate but are not regulated. Instead, the task force suggested regulating them, so that they are safe environments free of drugs and alcohol for residents wishing to remain clean. It was also recommended that sober dorms be created at the Stony Brook Southampton Campus to aid students wishing to live in a sober environment. The task force also recommended lobbying for more government funding to improve the quality of sober homes, and funding for programs that offer childcare for parents in treatment programs.

Opioid Task Force Report Released By Peggy Spellman Hoey

The legacy of Hallie Rae Ullrich and the other 18 people who were lost to fatal overdoses in Southampton Town last year is a little closer to coming to fruition.

June 27, 2018

The Southampton Town Opioid Addiction Task Force released a set of recommendations in a draft report on Thursday, June 21, homing in on key components to reduce drug addiction in the township — long-term sustainability through treatment centers such as sober living homes and the creation of an East End THRIVE Recovery Community and Outreach Center, as well as prevention mechanisms in the schools and community.

The top recommendation suggested by the task force included the creation of an East End THRIVE Recovery Community and Outreach Center, similar to the one in Hauppauge which is a comprehensive substance abuse center that offers short-term and long-term treatment options, while serving as a sober clubhouse of

sorts for people battling addiction and their families to gather and obtain resources, as well as socialize. Possible locations for the center included the campus of Stony Brook Southampton, where Stony Brook Southampton Hospital could be expanded, as well as Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton, where its owner, Suffolk County, is seeking businesses for its industrial space. Task force members suggested the center be located no further west than Riverhead. Task force co-chairman Drew Scott said the group took a field trip to the THRIVE center to get a feel for how it works and how a similar model could be used to service the East End. “We thought it was a great step because we spend a lot of time on prevention and we spend a lot of time on treatment,” he said. “This is one thing in recovery — it is very important to help [recovering addicts] stay sober.” The task force was formed in October 2017 following the death

of Ullrich, Scott’s granddaughter who was found dead from an overdose of heroin and fentanyl at the side of the road near a park. Ullrich and her boyfriend, who died two days later, were part of a group of 19 town residents who overdosed last year, a year that saw the highest number of fatal overdoses in the town’s history. The task force was formed with the purpose of taking input from the public, and then formulating a plan on how to combat opioid addiction. Scott said he believes there will be quick movement in the direction of the THRIVE Center. He noted that the work session meeting at town hall where the report was released was attended by representatives from New York State’s Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, which is the agency that ultimately decides whether a treatment facility moves ahead and also has some pull with state funding options. He said the officials seem supportive of the idea and the task force is looking forward to continuing a dialogue on the matter.

Other healthcare components suggested by the task force included the creation of a mental health and substance abuse hotline to guide people who are dealing with health insurance denials because addicts and their family members often have problems dealing with their health insurance when seeking treatment at hospitals and other facilities, causing unnecessary delays. It was also suggested that businesses partnering with the Town of Southampton have insurance policies supporting the Parity Act for substance abuse and mental health benefits, and that Suffolk County Community College develop more programs for certified recovery coaches and sober companions.

Law enforcement recommendations included continuing the town’s Bridge the Gap program allowing Southampton Town police officers to link patients revived by the opioid antidote drug, naloxone, to the treatment subcommittee if they want resources to get help with their addiction. It was also suggested that the town’s police continue their efforts working with other agencies to track overdose cases. Continued On Page 63.

Jerry’s ink // Jerry della femina me. I failed gym at Lafayette High School. I say show me a kid who fails gym and I will show you a kid who’s not cut out for the scholastic life. I’ll bet a lot of readers of this column are being pressured by all this hoopla about the World Cup to watch soccer on TV. And some of you are pretending to like it.

Soccer Sucks

I’ve tried. God knows I’ve tried.

For years I didn’t mention it to a soul.

But now, in the middle of this latest World Cup insanity coming from Russia, it’s time to stand up and be counted. So last month, when I was one-onone with a person I could trust, I asked the question.

No sooner was the question out of my mouth than the person whom I asked stiffened, glanced from side to side and mumbled, “You, too?” That’s when I knew I was not alone.

The question I asked was: “Am I the only person in the world who thinks that soccer sucks?” So now I’ve asked a lot of people, and it turns out no American really likes soccer.

Yes, I know they force our kids to play soccer at school, but that’s because they don’t want to invest any money in real sports. All a school needs is a lousy $12 soccer ball and it is in business. If a kid refuses to play, he or she fails gym. Failing gym is a sore subject with

I can understand that, because the sport has been drummed into the heads of our kids since grade school. And you don’t want your kids to think you’re a boob who knows nothing until they’re at least 16 years old, when they automatically think you’re a boob who knows nothing.

The only time the World Cup held my interest was in 2010, because two of the last four teams in contention were Uruguay and Germany. I wondered: If they were to face each other for the world championship, which team would the Nazi bastards still hiding out in Uruguay root for? Soccer is to sports what quiche is to food. It will never be an American sport.

A colleague of mine’s father summed it up many years ago when he said, “In the United States, soccer is the sport of the future, and that’s what it will always be — the sport of the future.” However, ask anyone who comes from another country and they will tell you they love “footsball.” Footsball is what they call it, even though their footsball is the round shape that we have always known to be a soccer ball. I think I have zeroed in on the difference between their “footsball”

and our good old American FOOTBALL.

Last week I walked into my local liquor store in Manhattan and the owner, who speaks with an accent from a country that I can’t identify, was talking to his employees, each of whom has an accent from this same country that I can’t identify. I suspect they are either from Guatemala or India. I’m bad with accents. Finally, one of them turned to me and said, “Mr. Della Femina, are you watching the World Cup?” “No, I’m not,” I replied in a pleasant voice. They looked horrified and they all started muttering in their favorite language. “You’re not watching the World Cup? Why?”

My answer was, “Because there’s not enough violence.” From the wounded look in their eyes, I left wondering if they would ever trust me with alcohol again.

The secret is violence. That’s why American football, where 380-pound dolts strive to inflict as many concussions and broken limbs on each other as they can, is so popular in the U.S. That’s why we all love hockey, which is soccer on ice — but the players get a chance to smash each other against the boards and they all have the opportunity to hit each other on the head with sticks.

There’s even a fair amount of violence in pro basketball, where you can watch talented, six-foot-ten-inch gentlemen, wearing tattoos over every inch of their bodies, jumping up and slamming each other in the

nose with their elbows.

Four years ago, I decided to give soccer one more chance. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe an hour and a half of watching grown men running back and forth on a field looking like 12-year-old boys who had ingested too much chocolate could be exciting. So, I watched the game between Portugal and the United States.

I dozed off a few times but I did feel a sense of pride in the American team and I was rooting hard for them. This was my national pride, since if you’re an American you might have noticed that, except for the War on Greenhouse Gases, we haven’t been winning much anywhere in the world lately.

And let me tell you, if the game was between Poland and Slovakia, I would have put on my jammies and gone to sleep. But this was the American team and it was great to see an American guy named Clint Dempsey give the U.S. a 2-1 lead by hitting the ball into the opponent’s net with either his lower stomach or his testicles. It all happened in a flash and the announcers were too genteel to say, “Did you see that? It appears Mr. Dempsey hit that ball in with his penis . . . what a man.”

Anyway, I was excited and ready to admit that when your country’s team wins, soccer can be fun. I was counting down to the end. “WE WON . . . WE WON!” I was screaming at the end. “Not so fast,” someone who knows

Sand In My Shoes // Denis Hamill The neighbor called 911. Sag Harbor Village cops searched the area and arrested the three immigrants for trespassing.

System Stinks On Hot Ice The three landscapers knocked on the wrong door. Little did they know it would lead at least one of them to a jail cell before a long grind through the system toward a back door deportation from the country.

The compelling follow up story in this week’s Independent by T.E. McMorrow is about those three immigrants — Antonie Chin, 34, of Riverhead, Marco Saban, 36, of Southhampton, and Hector Velasquez, 24, of Riverhead — who thought they were at the door of the landscaper who’d hired them on Rysam Street in Sag Harbor on June 5. No one answered.

So, they tried the door. It was unlocked. When they stepped inside, they learned they’d entered the wrong home, belonging to their boss’s next door neighbor. The neighbor held a barking German shepherd. The three men fled.

Velasquez, an undocumented Guatemalan immigrant, initially gave cops a fake name because he knew under the current Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) zero tolerance policy he was facing deportation back to the poverty, squalor, and hopelessness of Guatemala. Hector Velasquez snuck into this country to do exactly what he was looking to do on Rysam Street on June 5: an honest day’s work.

Velasquez came to Rysam Street to work. And when I see a guy from Guatemala, where 65 percent of the population lives in poverty, I see a kid growing up hungry, thinking there is nowhere to go in life but up. Up often means El Norte.

North through scary, cartel-savaged Mexico, paying off duplicitous coyotes to show you how to ford the Rio Grande or navigate other illegal land border crossings into the great red, white, and blue mirage of America. To work.

Not to steal, rape, or deal drugs, despite the shameless rhetoric of our white supremacist president who was raised by a Scottish immigrant mother, and who married two immigrants from communist bloc countries.

Hector Velasquez came to America to work. In this case, to manicure the verdant summer lawns of the American citizens of the East End

who rely on the skills, work ethic, and affordable rates of thousands of immigrants like Hector Velasquez. Work, so they can find a safe place to live. Work to eat until you are no longer hungry. Work to send money home. Work six days so that on the seventh, maybe you can rest and enjoy a cold beer as you watch bottle rockets burst in the starry skies above the proud front lawns and backyards these immigrants tend in preparation for the coming birthday of the United States of America. Or what’s left of it.

For two weeks it didn’t look or sound much like any America I remember as we witnessed wailing immigrant children separated from their parents, imprisoned in cages in what can only be called concentration camps that the Federal government did not want the press or the public to see or to hear from in the Land of the Free.

Those vivid images and that disturbing eight-minute piece of audio released by Pro Publica made Donald Trump blink.

The Fake Tough Guy was shaken by polls indicating that more than two-thirds of the country opposed child separation. Panicked ranking Republicans urged him to issue an executive order ending the “policy” of separating children from parents. This was an executive order that Trump and his West Wing and cabinet underlings falsely insisted for weeks was the “law” that only the Congress or the courts could fix. They all lied.

After 2300 kids had been separated from their parents and scattered across the country, Trump folded like a beach bum’s sand chair and signed the executive order. But the rich kid autocrat from

Fake tough.

And so, as an alphabet soup of Federal agencies scramble to reunite kids with parents before the midterm elections, the Hector Velasquezes of the Trump zero tolerance immigration crackdown will not stand an ICE target’s chance in Hell.

Two weeks ago, I sat in the East Hampton Town Justice Court waiting for Velasquez to have a hearing on the trespassing charge. But because the U.S. Open was causing traffic jams, the Suffolk County Sheriff ’s Office postponed delivery of Velasquez from the Riverhead lockup. Instead, they brought him last Friday to the Sag Harbor courtroom of Judge Lisa Rana.

McMorrow’s Friday photo of a shackled Velasquez in prison jumpsuit with head bowed in defeat inside Judge Lisa Rana’s courtroom speaks more than a thousand words. It tells us of the 3394.8 miles of broken dreams ahead of him from that courthouse to the airport of Guatemala City where Velasquez will soon be sent. But when he finally appeared in front of Judge Rana for a hearing on the misdemeanor trespassing charge, the good judge saw that there was an ICE “detainer” on Velasquez. Rana said that she could not proceed with Velasquez’s trespassing charge until he saw an immigration lawyer. That attorney will likely tell Velasquez that he is going to be deported, pointing to his ICE detainer where this box is checked: “A final order of removal against the alien.”

The lack of coterminous information shared among the Federal, State, and municipal courts and local, county, and Federal law enforcement agencies has created a mind-bending cluster-muck of overlapping jurisdictions. Velasquez was arrested by Sag Harbor Village police, arraigned and transferred to the Riverhead Suffolk County lock-up where ICE, part of the Federal

suffolk transit MuLLS changes to EH bus lines By T. E. McMorrow

Suffolk County Transit is considering major changes to the 10C and 10B buses, East Hampton Town’s only daily form of mass transit other than the Long Island Rail Road, along with the S94 line, which would be eliminated. The 10C connects Montauk to East Hampton while the 10B links Springs to East Hampton, as well as to Bridgehampton. The two lines are essential to workers who don’t have cars to get from where they live to where they work. One rider of the 10C who works at Stop and Shop in East Hampton, lives in Montauk and identified herself as Andrea. She spoke last week.

During the summer season, there is an explosion of workers in East Hampton Town and riders on the bus. Andrea leaves Montauk six days a week, headed to East Hampton and her job every morning at 7:05, year-round. “It is bad, now,” Andrea said. “The 4:30 (the bus she takes back to Montauk every day) is always late.”

Montauk Point, and back.

While the buses are owned by Suffolk Transit, which designs and regulates the routes, the Hampton Jitney operates them. If a bus breaks down, it can mean long delays until a replacement bus can make the trip through summer traffic from the Hampton Jitney base in Southampton.

Until just a few days ago, the vehicle used for the 10C line was a 2017 Arboc 20-seat bus. In recent

Planning to have lunch overlooking the highway? You obviously haven’t seen things from our point of view.

The two buses essentially make a loop. The 10C starts at the Jitney stop in Montauk on South Euclid, then goes west on Main Street, before turning onto Second House Road to Industrial Road, followed by a turn onto Flamingo Avenue, and continues to the Montauk dock area. From there it goes south on West Lake Drive, does a loop through Ditch Plains, before turning west on Montauk Highway, ending up back at the Jitney stop.

June 27, 2018

The 10B’s loop starts at the train station in East Hampton Village, then heads north on Three Mile Harbor Road, eventually circling around and heading south on Springs Fireplace Road. It takes a detour onto Abrahams Path, then down Accabonac Road, stopping by Windmill Village, and eventually ending up at the train station. Only one bus is utilized on each route daily.

The 10C makes a run to East Hampton every three hours, the 10B to Bridgehampton Commons every two. The S94 runs exclusively in Montauk from the Jitney Stop to

Board members and town attorney James Burke questioned if existing town laws, as well as the State Environmental Quality Review Act, would not provide protection for graves, but Genia said often private property rights trump concerns over graves.

Genia was joined by Harry Wallace, the chief of the Unkechaug tribe, who told the board that New York is one of only four states that does not have any protections in place for graves found on private land.

“We need to take the necessary steps to protect these unmarked burials because every time we put a shovel in the ground today, chances are we are going to find something,” he said.

Shinnecock Asks Town To Protect Graves By Stephen J. Kotz

The group, led by Rebecca Genia, appeared before the board just a week after the U.S. Open golf tournament had concluded at the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club — once tribal land — to ask the town to take formal steps to better protect Native American graves.

Genia told the board that tribe members had requested the board pass a law to protect their ancestors’ graves since 2003 following the discovery of remains at the site of the former St. James Hotel in Water Mill. She noted that four different supervisors had served in town office since that time but that little had been accomplished. “We are here today to remind the town board that since 2003, we have had draft legislation for

graves protection,” she said. “We really haven’t gotten too much of anywhere.”

Under former Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst, tribe members prepared a map showing areas they believed could hold gravesites, she said, but when a meeting was called to discuss the issue, “nobody could find that map,” Genia said. “We looked high and low. That map disappeared off the face of the earth.” Genia asked Supervisor Jay Schneiderman if the Suffolk County Legislature, where he was a long-time member, had ever passed legislation to protect Native American graves. Schneiderman said he could not remember but offered to research the matter. He also offered to have town planners reach out to East Hampton town, which does have legislation on the books.

“I think it got caught in the muck and the mire somewhere,” Genia said of the county bill, which was to

Schneiderman said he believed any town legislation has to be reasonable because if it is too onerous, developers might simply choose to not notify the town if they find something.

Jennifer Cuffee Wilson, a member of the Shinnecock Nation, said tribe members were becoming frustrated. “It seems like each time there is a new supervisor, this gets pushed under the rug,” she said. “We keep coming here and we keep talking about the same thing.” “To be honest with you, we have been going through this for 380 years,” she said, referring to tribal relations with white settlers who first arrived in 1640.

Denise Silva Dennis, another Shinnecock member, said there are ample records showing that Shinnecock graves were at and near the Shinnecock Golf Club. “It’s all documented,” she said, “right down the road on Montauk Highway.”

Wallace urged the town to look into Florida’s law, which he said provided comprehensive protection for graves. “It does include potential criminal prosecution,” he said of the Florida law. “We want people to do the right thing and when they don’t, there is a consequence for misbehavior.”

Town Seeks Legal Opinion On Rose Hill By Peggy Spellman Hoey

municipality wishes to sell, lease, or discontinue the use of municipal parkland. The core legal basis governing the use of parkland comes from common law, called the public trust doctrine. The doctrine comprises 150 years of state court decisions, which explain when municipalities must seek state legislative approval to alienate public parkland, according to a press release issued by town officials.

Southampton Town officials have reached out to New York State for a determination as to whether a sliver of property in Water Mill is considered parkland, a designation that would void a recent agreement the Board of Trustees entered into to allow the adjacent homeowner access rights to public land.

The property, which is located at 475 Rose Hill Road in Water Mill, was transferred last year from the town to the trustees, who then entered into an agreement allowing exclusive use of the property in exchange for maintenance of a boat launch and parking on the remaining portion of the land owned by the trustees.

A review of historic documents and public commentary generated concern as to the legality of the agreement, and both the town board and trustees sent a joint letter on June 22 to State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and Parks, Recreation, and Historic

Local News Sag Harbor Village police Sgt. Tom Pagano is retiring this week after 32 years on the beat.

Pagano wanted a job closer to home, and he took, and passed, the Suffolk County civil service test. He was contacted by several departments, including Sag Harbor’s. “I had never heard of Sag Harbor,” he said. After a couple of interviews with Chief Joseph Ialacci and Sgt. Michael Salargo, Pagano was hired. He was sworn in on May 25, 1988. Pagano joined the force two years after a major shakeup in the department, when John Harrington, who had been chief for 25 years, left the job. Replacing Harrington as chief was Ialacci. “I want tickets and arrests,” Ialacci told Pagano and the other three officers hired with him. “We did what we were told,” Pagano said.

Worked in Brooklyn, Harlem,” Pagano said. “But I never wanted to be a cop,” he added, saying that, when he was young, he thought he would pursue a career in business. But, the police blue in his blood ran deep, and in the mid-1980s, he took the civil service exam in New York City to become an officer.

His first job was with the New York Transit Police. New York was a rough, dangerous, city at that time. “The AIDS epidemic began. The crack epidemic started,” he noted. In 1986, his first year on the force, there were 1582 murders in the city. That number would climb over the next several years, reaching a peak of 2245 in 1990.

The train would pull into the station, and, he recalled, “When the doors opened, you looked, making sure nobody was getting murdered.” He recounted his first arrest as an officer. “Robbery. It was Easter Sunday. Doors open up, I look out, there was a girl at the end of the platform screaming, ‘I just got robbed. I just got robbed.’” Pagano took off running. When he got to the end of the platform, he realized the suspect had escaped to the street. “I go up the stairs. Now, I’m in Brooklyn. I have no clue where I am.” Pagano, who was living in Sayville at the time, called in the NYPD. He rode in a patrol car with the victim, who spotted the suspect. “She said, ‘That’s the guy,’ so, we arrested him. They gave me the collar. Sixteen hours of overtime. That was my first arrest.”

The story had a twist, though. It turned out, he said, “The girl was a prostitute, and he didn’t pay. I guess the case was dismissed.”

He has made many arrests over the years in Sag Harbor, but, the first one will always stand out. It was on a charge of drunken driving. The elderly woman’s breath test produced a high reading. “It was my first DWI. Ah, she was horrible,” he said. “She was the worst one I’ve ever had, screaming obscenities and cursing.” The pressure of doing the paper work for the DWI arrest, which takes an experienced officer well over an hour to complete, while being berated by the defendant, proved challenging. “I messed up the paper work, so bad,” he recalled. He was dressed down by the sergeant on duty the next day. “He said about the paperwork, ‘What’s this? You could wipe your nose with it,’ but he didn’t use the word nose,” Pagano said. “It worked out great. My paperwork for DWIs were great after that.” Pagano described coming out to Sag Harbor as an officer as “reverse culture shock.” He had joined the force just in time to experience

However, there also was professional police work to be done, the kind that results in arrests. Just a couple of weeks ago, Pagano made a traffic stop that resulted in the arrest of a Southampton man on felony cocaine possession charges. “He had a warrant out of Southampton Town,” he said. Pagano placed the man under arrest. Another officer, Robert Rozzi, began searching the car. “Something is not right,” Pagano recalled feeling. According to the police, they recovered 10 packets of cocaine concealed in a cigarette pack. That feeling that “something is not right” often leads to arrests on more serious charges than the one that led to a traffic stop. “You pull over a guy. He’s nervous. You ask him, ‘Where are you coming from? What are you doing? Do you have anything in the car?’ You can get consent.” Frequently, the strong smell of marijuana will give an officer the probable cause to conduct a search, Pagano said.

While he won’t miss the barking dogs, he will miss his fellow officers. He feels a great comradery with them. But, at the same time, “all the guys I came on with are gone.” When Pagano looks at the new, young men and women who have joined the department, he is reminded of his early days. “They seem like they are hungry out there. They want to write tickets, make arrests, like I did,” he said. Of all his proudest accomplishments, it is his two daughters, Amber and Autumn Pagano, who are the apples of his eye. “They are the best thing that ever happened to me,” he said.

He has no immediate plans. “I don’t want to be committed to anything. I want to travel, eventually,” he said. In the meantime, he will see how the other half lives, summering on the East End, 2018.

That was then, this is now: last year, there were 290 murders in NYC, the least since 1951. “It’s the safest big city in the world,” Pagano said with some pride.

Back in 1986, though, it wasn’t. Pagano was assigned to the Tactical Patrol Force, a program designed to put “a cop on every train in the city,” he said. His beat was the midnight to 8 AM shift.

He recalled the old headquarters, at the same location as the current one on Division Street. “God, it was horrible,” he said. “No holding cells. There was a bench where you handcuffed prisoners. There were no interview rooms. No computers. Everything we did was typed out and hand written.” That building was replaced by the current modern headquarters, designed by Stott Architecture, in 2006.

the 1988 summer season in Sag Harbor. It was a much busier workload than in the city, but a far different kind of workload. “Aided cases. There is a parking complaint. A guy mowing his lawn. A dog barking,” he said. These are the kind of calls he said he will not miss.

InDepthNews Trump said that although trying to enter the country illegally was a crime, “It is also the policy of this administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.” He ordered the attorney general to challenge the 1997 Flores v. Reno settlement in California, which requires immigration officials to “place each detained minor in the least restrictive setting appropriate.”

Just a day earlier, Trump struck a defiant tone, blaming the situation on Democrats and stating the country “will not become a migrant camp.” About 2000 children have been separated from their parents since Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a “zero-tolerance” policy for those caught entering the country illegally.

Trump Reverses Field On Refugee Policy By Rick Murphy

President Donald Trump signed an executive order June 20 ending the practice of separating children from migrant families caught entering the country illegally, a policy reversal that thrilled many in the Latino community and sent repercussions through the political world.

Photographs and videos of pleading youngsters literally being torn 16

Trump’s reversal provided plenty of fodder for those on either side of the political spectrum.

Minerva Perez, the executive director of the Organización Latino-Americana of Eastern Long Island, said Trump was simply using the executive order as a bargaining chip. “He is flexing his muscle, showing he can do something as heinous as this,” she said. “It is the classic cycle of the bully/abuser.”

Zeldin repeated a controversial, and widely discredited, assertion that some 73,000 families were separated in 2013 alone during the Obama administration. “This is an issue that transcends administrations,” he said. Perez strongly disagreed, stating there is no correlation whatsoever. “This is an attempt to decimate an entire group of people. This damages America,” she said.

Trump has complained that his efforts to control immigration have been stymied by the fact Congress has not funded stricter border control measures, specifically the construction of wall along the mainland’s border. “We are pleased that the president

There are too many unanswered questions, according to Perez. “There is a lot of open language in his statement.” There is also an inherent distrust of Trump among members of the Latino community, Perez said. “We would like to assume the best but . . . processing a family as criminals is horrifying,” she added.

In 1985, Jenny Lisette Flores was arrested trying to cross the border and held in a detention center with adults. Among her travails was being strip searched daily, according to court testimony.

The Center For Human Rights And Constitutional Law filed a class action lawsuit against then U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese, alleging that the government’s detention and release policies violated Flores’s rights. In 1997, after the Supreme Court remanded the matter to the District Court, the parties agreed to a consent decree in which the litigation would end once the government implemented certain standards for the detention, treatment, and release of unaccompanied alien minors.

The Flores Settlement Agreement imposed several obligations on immigration authorities, which fall into three broad categories: The government is required to release children from immigration detention without unnecessary delay to, in order of preference, parents, other adult relatives, or licensed programs; the government is obligated to place children in the “least restrictive” setting appropriate to their age and any Continued On Page 17.

Yet skeptical community leaders and some Latino advocates dismissed the move as political, given the widespread condemnation of the practice. Trump insisted he was reversing current U.S. policy in his declaration, though his political opponents have accused him of fudging the facts.

from the desperate grasps of their parents by border control agents monopolized media coverage all over the world. Under previous administrations, children were taken into custody if they were caught coming across the border on their own but not when they were in the company of their families.

Congressman Lee Zeldin, a Republican and loyal Trump supporter, said he supported the decision to reverse the policy. He said he had met with president and House leaders just hours before the order was crafted. “I welcome this afternoon’s executive order as a positive step in the right direction. It’s not good policy to separate children at our border from their parents,” Zeldin said. “It’s also not good policy to immediately release families who enter our country illegally into our communities.”

is calling a halt to his inhumane and heartless policy of separating parents from their children,” said Peter Schey, the lawyer in a lawsuit that resulted in the Flores settlement. But Schey was highly critical of the administration’s motives. Schey also said he is contemplating a suit to block the deportation proceeding against parents until they are reunited with their children.

Rising Seas Imperil Hamptons Homes By Rick Murphy

No matter what your stance on global warming is, the fact is irrefutable: the oceans are rising, and the rate is accelerating. That means waterfront structures are imperiled, and local municipalities must rethink how they are going to cope with the phenomena — and

rethink it fast.

President Donald Trump’s surprising about face this week led to a rare occurrence — some faint praise from political opponents, however tempered it might have been. Trump reversed a government policy to remove children from their parents when families are apprehended entering the border illegally. Although he said it has been the policy for a decade, detractors said it was never enforced until recently.

After heart-wrenching photos of youngsters being forcibly removed from the arms of their parents, Trump issued an executive order he says will end the practice (see

June 27, 2018

The Flores decision will either need to be reconsidered in the courts, or Congress will need to pass legislation to change federal law, Zeldin said. “I support whichever option can be done swiftly and correctly so that families are detained together at the border,” he said. “In the meantime, my advice for anyone who doesn’t want to be detained for entering into the United States illegally is to not enter the United States illegally.”

section).

“I think the executive order is a step in the right direction. The public outrage in response to family separation was compelling and overwhelming. The president listened,” said NYS Assemblyman Fred Thiele. Just days earlier, Thiele issued an impassioned plea to the federal government to keep the families together. “We’ve seen crying children separated from their parents and housed in abandoned stores with no one there to hold them and tell them that everything will be alright. We’ve heard their piercing wails as they beg the authorities to reunite them with their mom and dad,” said Thiele.

New York Senator Chuck Schumer issued a joint statement with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urging authorities to act quickly to undo the damage caused to displaced youngsters. “It seems that the administration lacks a plan, intention, and a sense of urgency to begin reuniting these children — many of whom have suffered serious emotional anguish — with their parents,” their joint press release read.

One Democrat who was not mollified by the executive order was NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has been a vocal opponent of this administration’s immigration strategy from the outset. Cuomo called Trump’s executive order, which was reported as reversing the controversial practice

flooding in the next 12 years which could result in significant property tax loss.” Add East Hampton, especially Montauk, to the list, suggested Kevin McAllister, the executive director of the environmental group Defend H20. The Montauk downtown area is particularly vulnerable. “You have to talk about relocation of the motels and restoration of the dunes,” he said.

“It’s time for elected officials to process the science, recognize the imminent changes, and facilitate courageous decisions which prioritize recreational beaches, functioning wetlands and public access,” he added.

“Government has been slow in engaging on sea level rise,” McAllister said. “Long Island has experienced a four-inch rise during the past 40 years, but Department of Environmental Protection models indicate that figure could accelerate quickly to an 11-to-30inch rise projected for the next 40. Monumental changes are coming.”

The group found that sea level rise, driven primarily by climate change, puts hundreds of thousands of homes and commercial properties in the U.S. at risk of being flooded at least 26 times per year by 2030. The incessant deluges would depreciate property values, erode infrastructure, and eventually diminish tax revenue, causing local credit ratings to sour and making it more difficult to finance projects needed to contend with rising sea levels.

“We’re seeing a ramp-up of the level of surge caused by some of these nor’easter’s,” McAllister said, calling the storms “facilitators of erosion.” Almost no municipality stands to lose as much money from climate change as Southampton.

The affluent Long Island town — where the median price of a home for sale is almost $2 million — has the second highest level of its property-tax revenue at risk among municipalities, with a high likelihood of chronic flooding in the next 12 years, according to data gathered by the Union of Concerned Scientists. Only Central Coast, California had more.

“We think that the risks to the local tax base means a vicious cycle can kick in,” Erika Spanger-Siegfried, one of the report’s authors, told Bloomberg.com last week. McAllister said it’s time to rethink

The states of Florida and New Jersey have the most to lose, according to the report, as overdevelopment crowds the beach towns where thousands have made their homes. Miami Beach in Florida and Ocean County, New Jersey, are particularly susceptible.

Astronaut Revisits time on Space Station By Justin Meinken

Two free lectures at The John Drew Theater at Guild Hall on Wednesday, June 27, and Friday, June 29, will feature Marine Colonel and NASA Astronaut Randy Bresnik, who completed two expeditions on the International Space Station, totaling 139 days. The lectures will include a unique perspective with the colonel’s spouse, Rebecca Bresnik, copresenting. Hosted by the Montauk Observatory, Col. Bresnik will highlight his experiences aboard the Space Station, where he served as the Commander for Expedition 53 and flight engineer for Expedition 52. His expeditions made 2224 orbits of the Earth and traveled 58,835,163 miles over the course of 139 days, returning in December 2017.

“The Bresniks are both remarkable people,” said Terry Bienstock, president of Montauk Observatory. Rebecca Bresnik is the Associate

Chief Counsel for International Matters at NASA’s Johnson Space Center and is the lead attorney for the ISS.

“Their personal stories and their accomplishments are inspiring. We are thrilled to be joined by our co-sponsors in bringing the Bresniks to our community for these informative programs. The opportunity for our residents and their kids to spend time with Randy and Rebecca will be something we will remember for the rest of our lives.”

The first lecture scheduled for Wednesday, June 27, at 8 PM is intended for ages 15 years old and up. It will include insight into the life of an astronaut in space and outline the responsibilities each

crew member has in the mission’s overall success. It will discuss the complex challenges associated with the missions and focus attention on the international partnership of the 22 countries who participate in the ISS initiative.

The second lecture scheduled for Friday, June 29, at 2 PM is intended for younger audiences, although all ages are welcome. It will provide attendees with the opportunity to meet an astronaut and discuss how to become one. At this family friendly event, Col. Bresnik will speak about his experiences on the ISS and answer questions. There will be photo opportunities and a chance to get an autograph as well. In order to bring this lecture series

to East Hampton, the Montauk Observatory partnered with Guild Hall of East Hampton and Northern Trust, a global leader in financial services. Other sponsors include Stuart’s Seafood Market of Amagansett and Biagio Cru of New Hyde Park.

Andrea Grover, Guild Hall’s Executive Director, said “Guild Hall is proud to partner with the Montauk Observatory on this inspiring and informative program with two extraordinary NASA professionals. This partnership helps further our goal of presenting imaginative programming that expands horizons and contributes to creative thinking.”

Tickets for this lecture series are free, but registration is required. Tickets are available through Guild Hall’s box office by calling 631324-4050 or visit www.GuildHall. org.

State Sues Firefighting Foam Manufacturers

Thiele Pushes For Net Neutrality

New York State this week filed a lawsuit against six companies that manufactured hazardous firefighting foam, which has been a component of groundwater contamination across New York State.

Assemblyman Fred Thiele said New York state lawmakers don’t intend to follow the federal government’s lead and repeal net neutrality.

The chemicals present in this dangerous foam, often used in firefighting training and drills, have emerged in multiple sites on Eastern Long Island, affecting the only clean source of drinking water in Wainscott, Hampton Bays, East Quogue and Westhampton, including the Gabreski Air National Guard Base.

When the contamination was discovered at Gabreski Airport, state and county government officials came together to designate the area as a Superfund Site to ensure contaminated soils and waters were

“In today’s society, the internet isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. New Yorkers rely on it for their daily lives, whether it’s to apply for jobs, pay bills, enroll in health insurance, or check on their child’s progress at school. But now, our ability to do all of this is threatened because the Federal Communications Commission repealed net neutrality,” said Thiele. “The assembly majority, though, is taking action. We passed legislation requiring the Public Service Commission to draft net neutrality principles and New York State would only be able to contract with internet service providers that adhere to these principles,” he added.

internet and protects consumers from profit-driven decisions by telecommunications companies. The FCC’s repeal went into effect earlier this month, meaning that ISPs can now pick and choose what content consumers see online, increase prices, and push packages that favor certain content and information,” Thiele said. “It creates an unfair playing field, clearing the way for telecommunications giants to price gouge and take advantage of

consumers and small businesses to boost their bottom line.” “We can’t let this happen in New York. Net neutrality is based on the core principles our country was founded on — an open, democratic system and the free exchange of ideas. By passing this legislation, New York is sending the message that we won’t simply roll over and allow giant corporations to control what information we see,” Thiele concluded.

But agree they did, and the result has been the most spectacular and successful land preservation effort in the country.

Since its inception in 1999, the Community Preservation Fund has generated $1.283 billion for the five East End towns. The money collected has been used by towns to preserve farmland and open space and to create parks. In 2016, voters approved expanding the scope of the CPF to address water quality issues. Up to 20 percent of revenue may now be used for water quality initiatives. The fund generated $40.53 million for the first five months of 2018, including $8.94 million in May. That’s a 6.5 percent increase over 2017, which indicates a healthy real estate market.

It is possible, with an active market, 2018 could go down as one of the best ever as far as CPF revenue goes; 2017 was not a record-breaking year.

Revenue in 2017 was 2.3 percent higher than 2016, but only the fourth highest total in the history of the program, according to New York State Assemblyman Fred Thiele’s office. The five East End towns collectively brought in $95.9 million over the course of the year for the CPF.

Sag Harbor publicist PepLer dies in apparent suicide years old.

When she moved to Sag Harbor in 2005, Pepler opened AKA Life, a boutique PR agency.

According to the company’s website, Pepler moved to New York in 1996 from her birthplace of South Africa and then Washington. D.C., working with HBO, The New Yorker, and other companies. “She started her own company, Acetylene Entertainment, where

she developed prestigious properties for film adaptation and nationally distributed indie films, coordinating theater bookings and planning and executing marketing campaigns,” the site reads. Other successful companies followed, but after 9/11, she decided to switch industries and took a job as the Director of Publicity and Marketing at a publishing company, Ruggedland, before moving on to found AKA

in 2005.

Jay McInerney dedicated his novel, The Good Life, to her. It reads, “For Jeanine: Who rescued me that day and many days thereafter.”

Apparently, Pepler had surgery for thyroid cancer 14 years ago, but had fully recovered and had been in good health. A full obit will appear in a future edition of The Independent.

According to Richard Johnson, the New York Post journalist who pens “Page Six,” Jeanine Pepler hanged herself on Sunday night at her home in Sag Harbor.

The publicist, who had represented novelists Jay McInerney — whom she also dated for a time — and Candace Bushnell, along with Sag Harbor’s Baron’s Cove, was found by her boyfriend, artist Steve Miller. According to sources, Pepler was 50

A Walk Down Memory Lane with William Pickens III By Valerie Bando-Meinken

Surrounded by centuries of family history, William Pickens III, aka “Bill,” smiles with pride as he speaks about his family heritage. “My ancestors were among the first people to come to the New World. They sailed from England

and arrived in Oyster Bay in 1670. My great grandfather, five times removed, was appointed Mayor of Pennsylvania by William Penn in 1691 and remained mayor for 10 years. They had jobs, education, values, and virtues. They lived through the Boston Massacre, the Stamp Act, the Intolerable Act, and

His grandfather, William Pickens, Sr. was born in 1881 to slave parents. “My grandfather was a brilliant man. After he was freed, he went on to be a straight A student at Yale. A true scholar, he had a knack for languages and spoke Latin, German, Greek, Spanish, French, Italian, and Esperanto [an auxiliary international language].” “He was also a great orator. When he graduated in 1904, he was the first African American to be awarded a certificate from the Esperanto Society. He was also a member of Phi Beta Kappa and graduated summa cum laude. Can you imagine?” Pickens said with a smile, “That was 114 years ago!” Thanks to Patricia, Pickens’s late wife, a portrait of his grandfather is hanging on the wall in the Chairman’s office in the Arts and Sciences Department of Yale. “It’s funny,” he said. “You walk into the university and all you see are pictures of all these white guys on the walls and then you see my grandfather. I’m sure it causes a pause,” he said with a laugh. In 1975, Pickens created the William Pickens Prize, which is a cash prize awarded to the top senior

essayist from the Department of African American Studies. In 2002, Pickens, Sr. was honored by Yale University.

With obvious pride, Pickens revealed that his grandfather was cofounder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. At just 28 years old, he became a member of the committee. “He was an activist whose goal was to make America better. He believed in the Constitution. Remember, he came from slavery and believed that the Constitution was for everyone. It didn’t have a race tied to it. It was a document that was meant to unite.” Pickens, Sr. met his future wife, Minnie McAlpine, in South Carolina. She was also a top scholar and in 1902, she became one of the first 1000 African Americans in the United States to graduate college. “They had three children who were all scholars and all college graduates. My aunt, Harriet Ida Pickens, went to Smith College and was the first female African American Naval officer. She was encouraged by Eleanor Roosevelt.” As for Bill’s father and mother, he says, “They were actually introduced to each other by my father’s roommate, Langston Hughes. My mother was a beauty. Langston wrote a poem just for her in 1925. It was called ‘Fairies.’”

Although the Pickens family lived in Laurelton, Queens, Bill remembers visiting Sag Harbor in the summer for decades before finally moving to the area permanently in 2004.

“I think I was 10 years old the first time I came here,” he recalls fondly. “There weren’t a lot of homes here at the time. It was all woods. A lot of the streets around here are named by who visited here in the past. Paul Robeson, the singer and civil rights activist, came here and there’s a street named after him.” When it was Bill’s time to continue the Pickens family legacy, he enrolled in the University of Vermont and majored in history and political science. He was the first African American student to be elected president of the student body. He was also elected president of the Honor Society and president of the fraternity Tau Epsilon Phi.

In 1958, he joined the Air Force as a Second Lieutenant. Pickens’s position as Personnel Officer in the Air Force sent him across the world to Japan. His superior officer told him to learn Japanese so that he could handle the affairs that needed attention. He picked up the language easily and enjoyed the culture and its art. Being an artist himself, he was captivated with the beauty of the traditional Japanese dolls that would be displayed during the Doll Festivals. He began to collect dolls, acquiring 70 of them, which are on display at the C.V. Starr East Asian Library at Columbia University.

Pickens’s father passed away while he was in Japan. Upon his return, he worked in several different executive positions over the course of time, which included Western Electric, Booz Allen Hamilton, Marine Midland Bank, and Phillip Morris before started his own business, Bill

Pickens Associates. It didn’t take long before entrepreneur Ryoichi Sasakawa approached him, asking him to become an advisor to the U.S. Japanese Foundation.

It also didn’t take long for Pickens to realize his grandfather’s legacy, as he became a member of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy, bringing peace keeping missions to Northern Ireland and South America. Pickens has also served as the Director of the Executive committee of the

NAACP, the organization cofounded by his grandfather in 1909. In 1962, while summering in Sag Harbor, Bill met his wife, Patricia. They married in 1964 and had three children, Pamela Alison Pickens, William Pickens IV, and John Montier Pickens. Patricia was a teacher and school guidance counselor and well liked in the community. Bill and Patricia were married 51 years; she lost her battle to cancer in 2015. “Somehow you get through life,” said Pickens.

Pickens is still able to revel in the friends that he has made, the peace that he has helped build in countries around the world, and the assurance that his own children know their legacy and carry its knowledge with pride. While his ancestors were among those who helped shape the New World, Pickens has certainly made his own lasting marks with his caring, compassion, and world-wide message of peace. valerie@indyeastend.com

Police without an accompanying detainer request form, with judges and defense attorneys operating in the dark as to the actual status of defendants in relation to ICE.

Antonie Chin, far left, and Hector Velasquez, far right, guarded by Suffolk County deputy sheriffs, in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court Friday.

One example in recent weeks is that of Francisco Lauro MonesTonacatl. He had been arrested by East Hampton Village police May 11 on a felony drunk driving charge. There was no detainer document on file.

Mones-Tonacatl’s attorney, Matthew D’Amato, not knowing that a hold request had been made with the police, told the court during the arraignment that his client would be posting the $5000 bail amount set by Justice Rana, who also sits in East Hampton. Mones-Tonacatl’s family raised the $5000, and posted it, only to learn that he would not be freed after all. He is currently in ICE custody. Independent/T.E. McMorrow

wanted by Ice, two frozen In legal limbo By T. E. McMorrow

With deportation looming over their heads, two men arrested recently by Sag Harbor Village police remain in jail, in a form of legal limbo. One of them faces certain deportation, according to the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. The other’s fate remains much more uncertain.

Antonie Chin, 38, of Riverhead, Marco Saban, 36, of Southampton, and a man identified by ICE as Hector Anibal Suroy Velasquez, 25,

also known as Eduardo Velasquez, 24, were in Sag Harbor, looking for the owner of a landscaping company on Rysam Street the afternoon of June 5. They knocked on the door and entered what they believed to be the landscaper’s house, according to Velasquez’s attorney, Rita Bonicelli. They had entered the wrong house. The resident of the house they entered called police, as the men fled. The three were arrested, charged with trespassing.

While Saban had to be released in

Velasquez and Chin, both from Guatemala, were brought to Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on Friday, June 22. Chin’s attorney, Robert Santucci, huddled with him, speaking through a translator. After 20 minutes, they came out of the conference room. Santucci said as he walked toward the courtroom that Chin was ready to make a deal. “He’s got no priors,” Santucci said. “He has been in the country for 14 years.” Most important, Santucci said, there was no ICE detainer for Chin. In Santucci’s mind, Chin would be sentenced to time served, and likely released that day. However, when Chin stood before Sag Harbor Village Justice Lisa Rana, Santucci learned that there appeared to be an ICE detainer request after all, according to paperwork the judge had received from the jail, even though the actual detainer document was not on file with the court. This has become an increasingly common occurrence in East End courthouses, detainer requests

After Justice Rana told Santucci Friday that there appeared to be a hold request on Chin, she added that Chin needed to consult with an immigration attorney, to learn the ramifications of entering a guilty plea to his remaining in the United States.

For Velasquez, it is the second time he has been picked up by ICE. “He has already been removed from the country,” Rachael Yong Yow, spokeswoman for ICE, said Monday. Velasquez had been picked up in Texas in 2011. Once deported, “his final order of removal is automatically renewed,” meaning it is still valid for ICE to act on. Bonicelli, who was appointed by the court to represent Velasquez, explored bringing in an immigration attorney to consult before taking a plea, as well. However, it appears that no matter what an immigration attorney advises Velasquez, he is headed for

order to be admitted to the hospital for a medical condition, the other two have been in custody since.

A similar situation played itself out in East Hampton last week. D’Amato asked Justice Rana if there was a detainer on a defendant. “I don’t see one but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything,” she replied. That defendant posted $300 bail immediately and was released. Velasquez and Chin both had bail set at $500 when they were first arrested.

Police to die in the roadway.”

McAlla was a father of three adult children, whose widow of 45 years described him as the kind of person who never called in sick or was late to work. Quinn evaded law enforcement, going as far as to run away into the woods at the reservation when officers showed up to place him under arrest, and when he was eventually arrested on May 29, he was trying to flee to Georgia, prosecutors said.

‘Dangerous Person Off Streets’ By Peggy Spellman Hoey

The 19-year-old Southampton man — believed to be a Bloods gang member — who was arrested in a fatal hit-and-run last month, was drinking and was high on pot when the 2013 Jeep he was driving with three friends as passengers struck and killed a man on County Road 39 in April, Suffolk prosecutors said Thursday, June 21. Chace Quinn, who lives on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation, is facing 12 to 36 years in prison, according the stack of charges in an 18-count indictment, which includes four counts of felony aggravated vehicular homicide, that was unsealed in Suffolk County Criminal Court in Central Islip.

June 27, 2018

Quinn pleaded not guilty before Justice Fernando Camacho, denying he was driving the Jeep that struck 63-year-old Pennsylvania delivery driver Joseph McAlla and then fled the scene, leaving him to die on the road. Prosecutors said Quinn turned off the Jeep’s lights and fled to the reservation a short distance away, and then concocted a lie that the car’s driver’s side mirror and front fender flare were missing because he had hit a deer.

Quinn was seen on video surveillance consuming numerous drinks as well as smoking marijuana, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Simi. The DA said Quinn and his three companions, who were also intoxicated, did not call 911. “This is a serious case. An individual

is dead. There is a family that will never have their loved one come home again,” said Sini in a press briefing at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge following the arraignment.

Sini said there was no way to say for sure that if McAlla received medical help that he could have been saved because the crash was so “traumatic” and “intense.” Evaded Capture “There is always a possibility, that if a 911 call had been made immediately by one of the witnesses or by the defendant, that more could have been done to save this individual,” he said. “And, in addition, there is no doubt that the defendant fled because he knew he was highly intoxicated and high on marijuana. He knew he was wanted by the police and decided to simply evade detection. He then continued to lie about the crash by telling people that the car was banged up because he hit a deer on the county road.”

Sini said the Vehicular Crimes Bureau, which is handling the case, is finding itself prosecuting “impact players” or gang members who are “driving crime in our communities, are a thorn in our side for a number of different reasons, and they are getting behind the wheel of a car and creating tragedy and then are finding themselves on the other side of the ‘V’ in an indictment.” Sini said the indictment is twofold in that it will not only bring justice

to the family of the victim and hold Quinn accountable, but it will “take a very dangerous person off the street.”

Assistant District Attorney Maggie Bopp said Quinn had been drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana prior to the early morning crash on April 5 and hit McAlla, who was making a delivery to Southampton Masonry. Quinn was also speeding as the car he was driving struck McAlla, who was walking across County Road 39 to close a gate, Bopp said, adding that McAlla suffered a “traumatic amputation” of his leg from the impact and “additional blunt force trauma.” McAlla’s leg was found about 70 feet away from his body, she said.

Based on the top charge of aggravated vehicular homicide, Quinn faces up to 25 years in prison. “This defendant never slowed down, this defendant never stopped,” she said. “He just left [ Joseph McAlla]

Sini described the case as difficult, noting that Quinn’s arrest was made possible through the cooperation of multiple agencies including the DA’s office, New York State police, and Southampton Town police. Local police cannot enter the reservation, which is federally recognized tribal land, without the assistance of state troopers, who have an agreement with the tribe. DA Praises Investigators Sini said Quinn proved to be “touchable.” “He proved to lose his game of evading the police. The police did a tremendous job and this was a complicated situation,” he said, adding that police were able to apprehend Quinn using “innovative tactics.”

“You are dealing with a Bloods street gang member. Obviously, this was an individual who is dangerous. He has a criminal history, so it’s about apprehending the individual [in a manner] that is most safe to the community,” he said. The other people in the car with

Five Men Indicted in Sexual Abuse case By Peggy Spellman Hoey

Five Bridgehampton men have been indicted this week on charges they sexually abused an underage girl.

Four of the men, Gregorio Saldivar, 41; Refugio Saldivar, 31; Miguel Saldivar, 38; and Marco Saldivar, 35, were charged with first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, a felony charge that carries a maximum sentence of up to 25 years in prison upon a conviction.

Gregorio Saldivar, who prosecutors said was arrested in Queens, was also charged with second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, a felony punishable up to seven years in prison, and third-degree sexual abuse, a misdemeanor punishable up to three months in jail. Felix Saldivar, 72, faces a charge of second-degree course of sexual conduct as well as three counts of third-degree sexual abuse.

Refugio and Gregorio Saldivar were additionally charged with rape; Refugio with first-degree rape, which carries a maximum sentence of up to 25 years in prison upon a conviction, and Gregorio with third-degree rape, which carries a sentence of up to four years in prison. Refugio, Miguel, and Marco Saldivar were charged with first-degree criminal sex act, a felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison, and sexual abuse, a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison. Marco Saldivar is additionally charged with third-degree criminal sex act, a felony punishable by up to four years in prison.

All five men were charged with endangering the welfare of a minor, a misdemeanor, which is punishable of up to a year in jail.

They all pleaded not guilty on Tuesday, June 19, before Judge Barbara Kahn in Suffolk County Criminal Court in Riverside. Prosecutors said a sixth man, 31-yearold Alberto Guerrero, was arraigned on June 13 for forcible touching, a misdemeanor charge that carries a maximum jail term of one year. His place of residence and further details about his arrest were not released by press time. Abuse Went On For Years Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Melissa Grier, a prosecutor with the Child Abuse and Domestic Violence Bureau, alleged the abuse took place over a period of years up until this year. In May, another person walked in on Marco Saldivar abusing the victim, Grier said. The incident prompted an investigation, according to the DA’s office. Investigators also allegedly have a shirt belonging to Marco Saldivar that is being analyzed for physical evidence, Grier said.

She also alleged that in April or March, Refugio Saldivar raped the victim in a car after he pulled over to the side of the road in Sag Harbor. A temporary restraining order was reissued from the court, barring the defendants from contacting the victim.

The victim is not being identified due to the fact that the crimes are sexual in nature and she is a minor. None of the men had posted bail by this paper’s deadline. High Bail Set Marco Saldivar, who has a prior conviction for driving while intoxicated, is being held on $300,000 bail. “They are obviously alleging additional instances,” said his attorney, Brian DeSesa of Bridgehampton, of the upgraded charges in a phone interview. “I haven’t had an opportunity to review them yet.” Miguel Saldivar has two prior arrests for driving while intoxicated, including one misdemeanor and one felony, and could be sentenced to up to 28 years in prison based on the recent charges he faces, Grier said. He is being held on $200,000 bail.

In a phone interview after the arraignments, Miguel Saldivar’s attorney, David Geller of the Legal Aid Society in Riverhead, said that his client “denies he did anything.” He noted the case is rare, given the number of co-defendants and that he is waiting to learn what evidence the DA’s office has in the case. Refugio Saldivar does not have any prior convictions and has been in the United States legally since 1997, his attorney, Christian Killoran of Westhampton Beach, told the court at the arraignment. He was most recently employed at Espresso’s in Sag Harbor, and previously worked as a cook at Puccio’s. He has three brothers and

one sister in the states and his family was in the courtroom to support him, according to Killoran.

Killoran noted his client only had about $1000 to go toward bail; however, Kahn said that due to the fact that he is facing three felonies she described as “extremely serious charges,” she set bail at $150,000 cash or $300,000 bond. Felix Saldivar is being held on $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond. If he posts bail, will be required to turn over his passport. His attorney, Lane Bubke of Riverhead, said he is “gainfully employed” and had his wife and other family members in court supporting him. ICE Detainer Gregorio Saldivar, whom prosecutors noted has ties in Mexico, is being held on $300,000 cash or bond. Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have placed a detainer on him. This means that even if he posts bail, he will not be freed, but instead turned over to ICE, which will begin another legal proceeding outside of the charges he faces, to decide whether he should be deported once his criminal charges are adjudicated. Gregorio Saldivar’s attorney, Keith O’Halloran of Hauppauge, has declined to comment on the case.

The Saldivars are scheduled to appear again before Judge Kahn in separately arranged conferences next month. It is unclear when Guerrero is expected to appear in court next.

cannabis, coke arrests In montauk By T. E. McMorrow & Kate Ward Traffic stops by East Hampton Town police last week led to two drug related arrests.

Early morning June 19, East Hampton Town police arrested Allen Cooper, 50, on a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana cartridges. Cooper was driving a 2001 Nissan on Second House Road in Montauk when police pulled him over for allegedly failing to signal a turn. When questioned, Cooper reportedly said,

“I have a little roach. I have a little weed in my bag.”

Besides finding a small amount of marijuana, leading to a simple violation possession charge, the officer reported finding 10 cartridges of concentrated cannabis, leading to the misdemeanor. Cooper, who told East Hampton Town Justice Lisa Rana during his arraignment later that morning that, while he lives in Englewood, FL, he is in Montauk for the summer to work as a cook at a

Montauk restaurant, was released without having to post bail.

Another arrest on that same day by town police also occurred in Montauk. Manuel Benjamin Cabrera, 34, of Wainscott, is facing misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and possession of cocaine. Apparently after a traffic stop around 5 AM on Montauk Highway near West Lake drive police said they found a small quantity of cocaine on Cabrera. Told he was under arrest, Cabrera

allegedly flailed his arms, refusing to be handcuffed, and had to be subdued, leading to the second charge. During his arraignment Thursday morning, Matthew D’Amato of Legal Aid Society asked Justice Rana whether there was an ICE detainer for Cabrera. “I don’t see one but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything,” she replied. Bail, set at $300, was immediately posted.

UNLICENSED and NOw IN JAIL By T. E. McMorrow

A Huntington man whose driver’s license has been suspended or revoked a combined 13 times over is facing a felony charge of unlicensed driving after his arrest in Montauk by East Hampton Town police early Sunday morning. According to the police, George Mejia, 35, was driving a 2003 Honda on South Emery Street when he rolled through the stop sign on South Emerson and made a right turn without signaling.

The officer who pulled Mejia over suspected he was intoxicated, and had him perform sobriety tests, which he said Mejia failed. “Honestly, I shouldn’t be driving,” Mejia reportedly said. If that quote is accurate, Mejia would have been right in two regards: first, he was charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated; second, he was charged with unlicensed driving. That charge is a felony because of its connection to the drunken driving charge.

June 27, 2018

At police headquarters, he refused to take the breath test.

Mejia has four open cases in courthouses across Long Island, the oldest dating back to August 2016, when he was charged by Suffolk County police with misdemeanor unlicensed driving. The same department made the same charge against him in January 2017. Then, on May 6 of this year, Nassau County police hit him with yet another unlicensed

driving charge, along with six moving violations. Five days later, he was picked up by the New York Police Department in Queens on a misdemeanor assault charge. Warrants were issued when he failed to appear in at least two of the open cases. East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky took note of all these factors during Sunday’s arraignment. “I am suspending your non-existent driving privileges,” he told Mejia. “You have a history of getting tickets and not responding, and at least 13 suspensions and revocations.” Bail was set at $3000, which was not posted. Mejia was being held in county jail in Riverside at press time.

A 19-year-old Manhattan teen is facing the prospect of having his license suspended until he turns 21 after being arrested Saturday morning by a New York State Park Police officer on misdemeanor drunken driving charges. According to the police, a park officer stationed at the entrance to Napeague State Park with a radar gun clocked an eastbound 2017 Subaru at 72 mph in a 55 mph zone. The teen, Jeremy Cuvelier reportedly explained why he was going so fast by telling the officer, “The guy in front of me was going slow.” Placing Cuvelier under arrest, the officer took him to East Hampton Town police headquarters to be processed, where, police said, a

breath test produced a reading of just under 0.10 percent alcohol in the blood, which is above the 0.08 percent level that defines intoxication.

Cuvelier was represented by Brian DeSesa for his arraignment in East Hampton Town Justice Court. Cuvelier, who is staying in Montauk for the summer, where he is working for Gurney’s, was released Sunday after posting $250 bail.

After the arraignment, DeSesa, who is retained by the state to represent defendants in East Hampton on weekends, explained Cuvelier’s legal predicament. On one hand, given the low reading, his case will likely be plea-bargained down from the misdemeanor level to a simple violation. However, under state law covering underage drinkers who drive, even after pleading guilty to the reduced charge, Culvelier’s license would be suspended for either one year, or until he turns 21, whichever option is longer in suspension time. The same morning Cuvelier was arraigned, he was joined on the defendant’s bench by Luke Christian Boland, another New York City resident working in an East Hampton restaurant for the season. Boland was arrested Sunday morning by East Hampton Village police. Boland, 28, of Brooklyn, was driving a 2007 Saturn on Buell Lane when he repeatedly swerved across the

double yellow lines several times, the arresting officer said.

Police said Boland’s breath test produced a reading of 0.23, well above the 0.18 number that automatically raises the misdemeanor to the aggravated DWI level. Justice Tekulsky called the reading “excessive” as he suspended Boland’s license and set bail at $500, which was posted.

East Hampton Town police, early on June 19, arrested Oakdale resident Kara Grupe, 25, on a misdemeanor charge of DWI. Grupe was sitting behind the wheel of a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta on the side of South Etna Street Montauk with the lights on and engine running, according to police. Grupe told police, “I wasn’t going to drive. I’m just sitting in the driver’s seat because I needed to charge my phone.” Under state law, being intoxicated and behind the steering wheel of a car with its engine running is considered drunk driving. At headquarters, her breath test produced an alleged reading of 0.16. She was released later that morning without bail.

Cops nab man For Indecent exposure By Peggy Spellman Hoey

A 65-year-old Hampton Bays man was arrested for allegedly exposing himself to a female patron in the Hampton Bays Library on Saturday, June 22, Southampton Town police said. Jose Villarreal allegedly exposed himself and “winked” at the woman just before 6:30 PM, according to the police report. He was charged with public lewdness, a misdemeanor. The offense is punishable by up to 90 days in jail.

Two days later on Sunday, June 24, a 21-year-old Southold man was arrested in the parking lot of the Boardy Barn in Hampton Bays after town police said he refused to leave, resisted arrest, and once in custody, used his head to damage a police cruiser.

Police said Justin Kirin was allegedly fighting with a bus driver in the parking lot of the Montauk Highway bar at about 6:45 PM and then he began cursing and refused to leave the area. When an officer tried to place Kirin under arrest, according to police, he tried to pull away, requiring the officer to force his arm behind his back, but once he was placed in handcuffs, police said he banged his forehead on the hood of the police car, denting it.

Kirin was charged with fourthdegree criminal mischief and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors, and disorderly conduct, a violation. He was held overnight for arraignment in Southampton Town Justice Court.

Insight

Just The Beginning It started as a modest idea last October when Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said he was moved after learning of the death of Hallie Rae Ullrich, 22, of a heroin overdose. After discussing the tragedy with her grandfather, former News 12 anchorman Drew Scott, Schneiderman called for the creation of a town opioid addiction task force to come up solutions. Originally envisioned as a 15-member panel, the task force ballooned in size to more than 40 members as school officials, health-care providers, law enforcement personnel, and ordinary citizens who had been touched, directly or indirectly, by the opioid crisis, came forward to offer their help.

Last week, right on schedule, the task force came before the town board to offer its preliminary recommendations for combating a crisis that claimed the lives of at least 19 Southampton residents last year and more than 400 across Suffolk County.

Recommendations include a call for broader prevention programs for everyone from schoolchildren to medical providers who give out the prescriptions that can have such devastating effects on people who find themselves easily addicted to opioid-based pain pills. While town police have begun to reach out to overdose victims they save — offering them the opportunity to be referred to someone who can help them and not just given a ride to jail — the task force wants to see still better coordination between police and treatment providers. What’s most needed on the East End, task force members agree, is a treatment center and one or more sober houses. A local treatment center would provide addicts with the kind of in-patient care they need to take their first tentative steps toward recovery. And the availability of sober houses would give them a refuge when the temptation of their addiction rears its head, as it no doubt will.

Most important, now that the community has recognized that it does, indeed, have a problem, residents willing to confront it by welcoming treatment centers and sober houses into their community. That may prove to be the hard part.

Is it just me?

Do you plan on watching any fireworks on July Fourth weekend?

Dear Rick,

Heather Hall I’ve watched them at Devon Yacht Club since I was a little girl. I grew up right over by Fresh Pond, so it’s just a short walk to see them. And we have a fireworks party at my house every year.

Over the past few months, two East End Republican columnists provided insight into Donald Trump’s successful bid for President.

One political observer is Jerry Della Femina, a Republican moderate and columnist for The Independent. The other is Phil Keith, a Southampton Press columnist and Republican conservative who ran against Linda Kabot in a contested primary for Southampton Supervisor and who graciously ceded the Conservative line to Kabot.

Michael Russell I love to watch them somewhere by the water. Usually I watch from Maidstone Beach. I’ve been going to see them since I was about four years old and I’ve been going every year since then with friends and family. Brian Shapiro You can hear them out in the backyard. We’re only out here a few years. Once went to Louse Point and it was fun, but it seems wherever you are you don’t have to make a trip with the crowds. You’ll hear them in your own backyard and sometimes you see some fireworks too.

The following is a quote from Jerry Della Femina’s [ Jerry’s Ink] column “Some Friendly Advice For My Sad, Angry Democrat Friends” (The Independent, April 24, 2018): “Here’s a message to all my Democrat friends: You’re living in New York City and Los Angeles and you have no idea what’s going on in Massillon, Ohio or Scranton, Pennsylvania.

They love the new tax bill. They don’t give a crap how it is helping the top one percent. All they care about is the $800 or $1700 that it is bringing them.” Yet, surprisingly, Donald Trump’s tax reform bill increases the taxes of many voters in the high-tax coastal states by eliminating tax deductions for state and local taxes. Phil Keith, in his column “Going Along To Get Along” (The Southampton Press, 4/12/18) made the important point that most people who live in hightax states use those deductions to offset their outrageous taxes. So why punish those voters? It appears President Trump used his tax reform bill to get even with “perceived” enemies in states that didn’t vote for him.

This strikes me as truly misguided and disturbing, since Trump received almost 40 percent of the vote in New York. Yet revising this inconsistent tax reform bill doesn’t appear to be a priority for either Democrats or fair-minded Republicans. Instead, both political parties appear to have embraced a zero-

sum mentality whereby it’s OK to hurt one part of the country as long as you gain the vote of another part. In a June 10 New York Times article, “Turning Rich Suburbs Blue Isn’t Worth The Cost,” New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer contended, “For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two, three moderate Republicans in the suburbs of Philadelphia.” Not so. Hillary Clinton was the first presidential candidate to lose Pennsylvania since Mike Dukakis in 1988. President Trump, in my opinion, seems to have missed an opportunity to replace what has proven to be an unproductive win-lose mentality with a win-win mentality by giving all taxpayers in all states a tax break.

Respectfully,

Susan Cerwinski In Appreciation Dear Peggy,

Thanks for the article and photo! As a writer/publisher (Allbook

Aida Turturro: Family First “i’m a girl who grew up on the Lower East Side of manhattan, before it was really cool.”

B-2

Aida Turturro — who will perform in Monica Bauer’s one-act as part of the Neo-Political Cowgirls’ “Andromeda’s Sisters” on Thursday, June 28 — is best known for her twice Emmy-nominated role as Janice Soprano in “The Sopranos,” the blockbuster HBO show about a Mafia crime family, and, well, a family. And for full-time Montauk resident Turturro, it’s all about family. According to the actress, family can be found everywhere, whether it’s through her own relations or the communities she’s formed throughout her life.

And becoming part a new community seems to come easy to the friendly and outgoing Turturro. We talked about food, about jewelry, about our pets, more about food — one of those times when the interviewer becomes the interviewee for a while. After spending only a few minutes with her, it already felt like we had known each other for years. And I hope we do. “I’m a girl who grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, before it was really cool,” she said. “My dad was a very talented artist. We lived in an unrenovated synagogue. I was one of the few

white kids in the neighborhood, and I loved it. It was a real neighborhood. We’d play handball; I could let my cats go outside and they would come home. It was just a beautiful community.”

She continued to seek that community everywhere she went. “Later on, I moved to Irving, and I had the same thing there. And Montauk — it’s the same. It’s down to Earth, the people are great; they stick together. When someone has a problem in this community, everyone gathers together to help. I feel like I’m home here.”

Arts&Entertainment references the scale of the human body.

“The piece could resemble a tribe, a gathering, or a pagan grouping of fykes,” said Lang. “It invites the viewer to consider the body less as a hierarchy of limbs and organs, but as a meshwork of equivalent and interchangeable elements.”

The objects he creates have an intense physicality that evokes the human body and human condition while essentially remaining abstract. “I started to work on this sculpture without an end-result in mind,” he continued. “I just let it evolve on its own. I decided to have the artwork comprise of a gathering of 22 columns, as twenty-two became its title after a Google search about the population of East Hampton town, which is 22,000 people,” he told the Independent. Working on the East End also inspires the artist. “The inspiration comes from the environmental circumstances, the light, and its unique conditions. I work as much out here as I can year-round.”

Yellin is a visual artist who lives and works in Red Hook, Brooklyn. He is well known for his larger-thanlife sculptures that use multiple layers of glass, each tier made of cut out imagery from printed materials creating a three-dimensional collage. He has presented public exhibitions for the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and the New York City Ballet’s Art Series.

Sculptures Unveiled At LongHouse By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

June 27, 2018

Proclaimed sculpture artists Helmut Lang, Alyson Shotz, and Dustin Yellin have unveiled works at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton.

To offer a fresh perspective to the artwork and the garden, LongHouse moves the placement of several works from time to time.

Work by artists Toshiko Takaezu, Atsuya Tominga, and Johnny Swing will be moved throughout the garden. LongHouse bids farewell to several works by artists Ronald Bladen, John Crawford, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, and Larry Rivers. The reserve also introduces new artwork by Gustavo Bonevardi, Orly Gener, and Judith Shea.

Indy spoke with Lang, Shotz, and Yellin about the unveiling.

Lang’s art explores the fertile space between abstraction and figuration. His sculpture twenty-two, on display in the gardens, simultaneously evokes the spinal column and the segmented body of the annelid (earthworm), and like may of Lang’s works,

In a departure from Yellin’s glass mosaics, LongHouse is exhibiting two rockets: Bathroom Rocket, 2018 and Garbage Can Rocket, 2018, along the axis of David’s Way. His inspiration for the piece? “Gravitational fields tracing fractal patterns in the water. The very first flush of the first toilet on Mars. Moorish Architecture. The Information Revolution,” Yellin told Indy. Yellin will also receive the LongHouse Award on July 21 during the LongHouse benefit LongHouse Celebrates Brooklyn. Shotz studied geology before

Tara Israel Bears Witness To Community By Nicole Teitler

What inspired you to become a photojournalist?

Kismet. I wanted to be an archivist of some sorts, my interest mostly has been in ephemera and books, but ultimately, I went in a different direction. The photos I was taking in my 20s somehow fell into that weird space of just bearing witness to a present moment or the mundane without the urgency or voyeurism I typically associate with journalism.

The artists who were the first photographers who worked in color to be considered “fine artists”— William Eggleston, Stephen

Shore, and my college professor Joel Sternfeld — all really paved the way, not only to change how photography is viewed, but also the importance of long-form work.

I’ve sorted through the homes or storage units of enough people after they’ve died to know that often the most inspiring or telling items of their lives are not what is listed in the obituary. It’s often the photo you never knew a friend carried in her wallet or why your grandfather saved dozens of Christmas cards

The Arts Center at Duck Creek in East Hampton continues its summer-long season of free programming, ranging from live music to art exhibitions. The notfor-profit community arts center is located at the 18th Century Maidstone Colony homestead, a historical site. Artist John Little transformed the 19th Century barn, purchased in 1948, into a place where local artists could gather, later founding the Signa Gallery.

This Saturday, June 30, from 5 to 8 PM, East Hampton native and photojournalist, Tara Israel, will discuss her photo essay Bonac: Letters From Home. In a personal portrayal of the people involved throughout her life, Israel captures the audience with her photographs as she pays tribute to her original love and greatest muse, her hometown of East Hampton.

Arts&Entertainment sent by a person you have never heard of. How does photojournalism differ from straightforward photography? Smartphones and social media made that distinction obsolete. Now it’s really just defined by the intended audience — you could sell decorative art for hotel lobbies or be a social media influencer. That being said, in time, even some corny sun flare family photo will become a legitimate document. We need folks on the global frontline to show the rest of the world what is happening politically and culturally. What families looked like, what choices people made when trying to look their best or most dignified. We need the images to inspire us to rise up or comfort us to know our community exists, sometimes we just have to look hard to find it. We also need people like me or any of the other folks who are really just working to bear witness to the present. A teacher once told me that as long as it’s in focus, every photo, in time, will become relevant. Describe what guests can expect or experience at the event.

June 27, 2018

The show is a collection of some of my favorite shots from the thousands I’ve taken over the years. We really want to have something that references the legendary kooky art vibe of Springs in the 1950s. You make a lot of deep bonds photographing people at home the way I do, and I’ve been well supported by a lot of folks along the way.

As much as this show is a milestone celebrating nearly a decade of this lifelong project, the opening is really a party to celebrate many years of support and guidance from a community that has patiently let me find my own path. They all chipped in. They all made time for me. They all pretended like it wasn’t awkward to pose naturally for a photo when we all know it really is. It’s been a wild ride.

What single image would you use to portray East Hampton to someone unfamiliar with the town? That’s why I started Bonac in the first place. No single person, place, or experience can represent a community. Anyone who tries to do so is shortchanging whatever they are attempting to depict. A community is a living, breathing organism where the sum is greater than the parts. Is there a particular photograph that you’d like to give the backstory on? One of the images was taken of members of the Bonac Amateur Radio Club at Field Day, a national amateur radio contest, in 2016. The contest takes place every June and is a 24-hour marathon for ham radio operators to make as many contacts as possible in as many regions as possible. Some hams participate individually from their home radio shacks, others participate with a club. The event is open to the public and people are invited to hop on the radio with licensed operators to learn how radio communication works.

Field Day is a really special event because it’s an opportunity to show folks that you can set up a communication station literally anywhere with nothing more than what looks like a wire hanging from a tree and a generator. At night, younger members experiment with working digital modes or just see who they may make contact with in a place many time zones away. In the wee hours of the night, it’s less about adding to your list of contacts, and more about showing each other what weird stuff you’ve been practicing over the last year. What is it about dogs that you enjoy most when photographing? For the last 15 years, my dog, Tito, has been my muse and constant companion. I feel more comfortable taking silly photos of him than with people, and I don’t do selfies . . . Dogs represent unconditional love and infinite possibilities for adventures, both very enjoyable things. How do you choose your subjects? When I work locally it’s planned, often reconnecting with people I haven’t seen since elementary school. When traveling, I have to

play it by ear. Most times when I try to plan a trip in advance, I end up in a direction that seems contrived or just completely flawed. I hang around long enough until I stop feeling like a total tourist and just have good luck meeting the right people in the strangest places.

The only times I cold-call a stranger is if I stumble on a personal blog or discover a grassroots organization that I feel is doing good work within their community. Even if I don’t shoot a single frame, when we meet, I always walk away inspired by their passion and devotion to making a positive change in the world, even if the “world” sometimes is little more than a town — so small nearly everyone lives on a street named after a relative. What’s another project you’re working on? I have been working in Appalachia for a few years attempting an identical project, showing what “home” looks like to different people. We have our assumptions, right or wrong, about any geography, including our own. I photograph cross sections of a town or a region, not romanticizing or Continued On Page B-33.

My Perfect Day: Springs Springs. Those who don’t know call it “The Springs,” but they’re wrong, it’s just Springs. From the era of Jackson Pollock to today, Springs has always been a creative, unassuming East End community that includes many artists. It’s referred to as “God’s Country” by locals because it’s filled with so much natural beauty. It doesn’t have a Main Street. It doesn’t even have a post office. But what it does have is character.

It’s also the area of the East End where I grew up. My family first came to Springs in the 1950s when they built a house on Gerard Drive that was used during the summer; now it’s one of the many that sits on stilts.

When I was five, my family moved to Springs full-time. It’s bittersweet writing this column this week, because after selling their house later this month my parents will leave Springs. And although I haven’t technically lived there since college, Winterberry Lane has always been the place I call home. (We’ve actually lived in four

different homes on the same lane!)

Artists and the like have always said that the light in Springs is magic. Growing up with photographer parents, I was always very aware of that special golden hour hue. During the early days of The Independent, there were many photo shoots with friends at Maidstone beach. Springs is a great place to be when that golden sun hits. So, for “My Perfect Day: Springs” I would start with coffee at the S & S Corner Shop in the ART Bldg on Fort Pond. This café offers hot coffee and local pastries as well as Stanley & Sons Apron and Bag Co. gourmet pantry items for your

It’s a Saturday in summer so I’d stop by the Springs Farmers Market to pick up lunch. Some of the best summer days are the ones when you don’t have to leave Springs at all. No need to deal with the traffic that can cripple the rest of the East End, you won’t find that in Springs. The farmers market has wonderful vendors and live local musicians. We’d bring our purchases out on our boat and putt around Three Mile Harbor. Swim, eat lunch, and enjoy watching the other boats go by for a few hours. Another way to get on the water is to rent kayaks at the Springs General Store or take a stand-up paddleboard class from Paddle Diva. It’s also always sunny in Springs. Driving into Springs in a fog-filled ocean mist will many times clear once you arrive. Later in the day I would visit the Pollock-Krasner House. The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center is located at the home and studio of abstract expressionist painters Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner. Visitors can explore the home, grounds, and studio. The studio, which is fascinating to see, is filled with evidence of Pollock’s poured painting process. Visitors

can wear a pair of protective booties and walk into the studio, which is a work of art itself. Springs is known as the cradle of the abstract expressionist movement, which also included artists Willem de Kooning and John Ferren, among others. Visit Thursday to Saturday from 1 to 5 PM, from May to October.

An art show at Ashawagh Hall or The Art Center at Duck Creek would be next. This weekend, Ashawagh Hall hosts the 24th annual Artists Alliance of East Hampton Members Art Exhibit and Duck Creek opens “Bonac: Letters From Home” with photographs by Tara Israel (read interview elsewhere in this issue of The Independent).

Dinner would be at Harbor Bistro, one of my favorite restaurants. The family-owned waterfront location boasts a wonderful sunset view and some of the best menu options on the East End. Enjoy live music and BBCs on the lawn every Sunday from 5 to 8 PM. Drinks at Moby’s would happen after. Moby’s opened this summer in Springs at East Hampton Point.

“I hate Joe McCarthy,” Yulin stated, with a laugh. “But that’s not operative when I’m playing him; instead I’m trying to find out where he’s coming from. On the one hand,” he mused, “you have a feeling that you want to give the character you’re playing a break; that would be true whether he’s fictional or real. You want to look for, not his best side, but the whole person. So it’s not a place for polemics or bringing an agenda, or a point of view.”

Harris Yulin does nixon at bay street By Georgia Warner

“You’re saying that there are certain circumstances where a president can decide it is in the best interest of the nation and do something illegal?” David Frost prodded, cameras rolling. “I’m saying that when the president does it, that means it’s not illegal,” answered Donald Trum — sorry, Richard Nixon, in a play perhaps more ripe and relevant today than when it debuted in 2006.

Frost/Nixon, Peter Morgan’s acclaimed dramatization of the monumental televised interview series during which British talk show host David Frost challenged former U.S. president Richard Nixon to hold himself publicly accountable for his involvement in the Watergate scandal, will open at the Bay Street Theater on Saturday, June 30, and stars Bay Street veterans Daniel Gerroll and Harris Yulin as Frost and Nixon, respectively.

“Nixon is a great question mark in our history in this country,” Yulin remarked. “I felt one way about Nixon when I was young and protesting the war, and it’s quite a different thing to get more inside of that whole era. It’s incredibly interesting, not only as a character, but to go back over those times and look at them in perhaps more depth, or maybe a different kind of look than I had at the time.”

In preparation for the part, Yulin, who shares a home in Bridgehampton with his wife, actress Kristen Lowman, has been watching myriad old tapes and interviews, and doing a considerable amount of reading about the expresident, whom he admits he hasn’t given much thought to in recent years, but is coming to understand in a new light through his exploration of the role. “There’s a kind of depth now that I’m trying to look at him with,” Yulin said of his character. “It’s definitely given me a very different perspective than I once had about

“It really moves along, and so we fall back onto the story of the two characters; how they prepare, what they’re both trying to do, how it resolves, when they meet, the nuances of that relationship, and so on,” said Yulin.

Ultimately, Yulin posited, the play is a means of contextualizing a pivotal moment in American history. The Frost-Nixon interviews aren’t difficult to track down in the age of Google and YouTube, but with a fuller understanding of the events surrounding the interviews and the pressures beneath them, a viewer may watch them differently.

“The play provides context for what one sees in the interviews,” Yulin explained. “A context to understand how they came about, which is interesting; what kind of preparation had to go into them; how the characters felt about what they had done; how they were going to approach the next interview . . . All this may sound a little dry, but I don’t think it is in the playing of

Polarizing Emotions As for how the story of Frost/ Nixon will affect a Trump-era audience, the jury’s still out; but, if Yulin’s experience with Guild Hall’s presentation of Are You Now or Have You Ever Been? (a play about the 1950s House Un-American Activities Committee hearings) last year is any indication — along with Bay Street’s most recent offering, Fellow Travelers, also about the HUAC hearings — the impact could be powerful.

“The reaction to [Are You Now] was quite overwhelming,” Yulin, who both acted in and directed the piece, recalled. “I mean, it was spontaneous, and it was so effusive and passionate — and I’m talking about the audience — and I think that really had to do with how one naturally relates whatever one is seeing to one’s own situation. Or, to the country’s situation, in this case.”

With the current POTUS deflecting one accusation of shady dealings after another, and claiming, “I have the absolute right to pardon myself,” it’s possible that climax of the Frost/ Nixon — in which a cornered Nixon seems to have no choice but take full responsibility for his un-presidential actions — could evoke polarizing emotions from vicarious viewers. “I guess it would depend on which way they lean,” Yulin speculated, “but certainly there’s no comparison between the two people — or characters, if you want, because I always think Trump is playing a character; he found one on TV and now he plays it. Nixon was, for all of his faults, which he had many, a man of some erudition, with a quite formidable intellect, and who finally wanted to bring a lasting peace to the world and to the country. So people can make their own comparisons.” Might an engrossing production of Frost/Nixon provide catharsis for a 2018 audience? Or might it elicit indignation? Or even a call to action?

“However the audience reacts, it will react,” Yulin said. “It’s in the eye of the beholder.”

June 27, 2018

Yulin, who is renowned for his extensive career in theatre (Bay Street and Broadway’s Hedda Gabler), television (“Ozark,” “Frazier”), and more than 100 films (Scarface, Clear and Present Danger, Training Day), is greatly looking

forward to returning to the Bay Street stage as the controversial character that struck him as an irresistible acting opportunity.

The same could be said of the play as a whole, and Yulin commends Frost/ Nixon director Sarna Lapine for her straightforward, unencumbered approach. The Bay Street production uses minimal effects and no major set changes, striving for uninterrupted fluidity, economy, and immediacy in presenting the historical battle of wits.

it. But it provides context, that’s the main thing. So you have some understanding of the story.”

Strong Author Line-up At Fridays At Five

By Nicole Teitler

Hampton Library in Bridgehampton welcomes the 34th season of its author series “Fridays at Five,” kicking off this Friday, June 29, from 5 to 6 PM with Alice McDermott and The Ninth Hour. The series, which will run through Friday, August 24, features nine authors, who will discuss their novels in the library’s rear garden, idyllic for unwinding after a long week. While enjoying beverages and passed hors d’oeuvres, guests will have the opportunity to meet their favorite authors and even ask some lingering questions. Anne Marshall, secretary of the Hampton Library, said, “When

the library was remodeled and added to in 2008, the trustees made sure that the rear garden and its magnificent tree would continue to be the setting for its annual program, Fridays at Five. Now in its 34th year, it continues to take place in the rear garden, with its sloping lawn, which makes for a natural amphitheater.” One highlight to this season’s line-up includes a July 6 reading of When Life Gives You Lululemons by bestselling author, Lauren Weisberger, known for The Devil Wears Prada, with Bonnie Grice of 88.3 FM Peconic Public Broadcasting. On July 13, Meryl Gordon, regular contributor to

Vanity Fair, will feature her novel, Bunny Mellon: The Life of an American Style Legend. Maureen Sherry, the former youngest managing director at Bear Stearns turned author, will give insight to her novel Opening Belle on July 20.

“I’m really looking forward to coming to Bridgehampton. I’ve long been a supporter of libraries and have heard such great things about Fridays at Five,” noted American author James Patterson, who will be at Hampton Library on July 27 with his book, The President is Missing. He added, “I’m always impressed by local communities that put together creative programming centered around books and reading, and I hope to see many of you at the library next month!” Author Ken Auletta, who has a home in Bridgehampton, said, “Among the joys of summer is getting an invite to speak, or to introduce a speaker, at our local library. Over the years, the library has blossomed, the audience has swelled, and their questions are challenging. I’ve lost count how many Fridays at Five I’ve done, but I know I have never declined

one. Nor would I.” He returns on August 3 with Frenemies: The Epic Disruption of the Ad Business (And Everything Else).

On August 10, Martin London, a renowned trial lawyer and litigator, recounts his national cases, such as ones involving the Kennedy family, in his memoir The Client Decides. The following week, on August 17, Walter Isaacson, President of the Aspen Institute, will highlight moments from his researched book Leonardo da Vinci. Closing the series on August 24 will be National Book Award Finalist Min Jin Lee, reading the New York Times Notable Book of 2017 Pachinko, with comedian and former entertainment reporter, Bill McCuddy. Hampton Library is located at 2478 Main Street in Bridgehampton. In case of rain, the event will be moved indoors. Admission is $25 or guests may purchase a card for five admissions at $100.

Arts&Entertainment Neon Wrapping Neon V (1969) and Neon Wrapping Incandescent II (1970) are displayed.

By the 1980s, Sonnier embraced a new artistic direction inspired by journeys to India, Japan, and Brazil, creating several series of sculptures made from natural and indigenous materials. In the 1990s, he began to combine his signature neon with found objects. The exhibition concludes with Mastodon, 2008, a large-scale neon construction and an immersive neon installation. “Keith Sonnier has forged a singular sculptural language that defies easy categorization,” said Grove.

The show is on view July 1 through January 27.

Keith Sonnier’s SHMOO O.G.V., on display at The Parrish Art Museum.

Summer Of Sonnier By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

If you’re looking to see the works of Keith Sonnier this summer, look no further than the East End. Two coinciding solo exhibitions for the artist will open at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill and Tripoli Gallery in Southampton. Works will also be presented by the Dia Art Foundation at the Dan Flavin Art Institute in Bridgehampton.

B-12

The show features more than 30 works from 1967 to present. It includes the artist’s ever-evolving neon sculpture, as well as sound pieces, and a site-specific neon installation at the museum. The show is organized by guest curator Jeffrey Grove and Museum Director Terrie Sultan. “The Parrish is thrilled to have the opportunity to bring the full arc of Sonnier’s career to light,” said Sultan. “Not only is Sonnier

one of the most innovative artists working in the United States today, his creativity is an inspiration to entirely new generations of artists.”

The exhibit takes museum visitors through decades of the artists work. It starts with works that establish Sonnier’s process, exploring nontraditional materials and rejecting conventional sculptural norms. This includes the 1968 Rat Tail Exercise, created from simple string, latex, rubber, and flocking. During the same period, Sonnier began his lifelong exploration with neon.

Over at Tripoli Gallery is its second solo exhibition with Sonnier, “Tragedy and Comedy.” The show features 40 new drawings that are accompanied by related sculptures. Coinciding with his opening at the Parrish, the show will be on view from June 29 through July 29. An opening reception will be held Saturday, June 30, from 4 to 6 PM. “Tragedy and Comedy” illustrates the artist’s continued creative process during a period of personal health challenges. During this past year, Sonnier produced six new series of drawings, Pope Joan, Long Horn, Corrugated Twist, Floating Grid, Electrical Charge and lastly, inspiring the title of the exhibition, Tragedy and Comedy.

Always a prolific draftsman, drawing is essential to Sonnier’s creative process. His works on paper provide a look into the relationship between the two and three-dimensional aspects of his art. jessica@indyeastend.com @hamptondaze

June 27, 2018

The Parrish presents “Keith Sonnier: Until Today,” an exhibition in the fields of conceptual, postminimal, video, and performance

art by the artist who radically reframed the function of sculpture.

Two works, shown concurrently with the Parrish exhibit, will be presented at the Dan Flavin Art Institute. View Dis-Play II (1970) is an environmental installation of foam rubber, fluorescent powder, strobe light, black light, neon, and glass. It brings together the artist’s ongoing interest in film, light, and experiential art environments.

Reading Our Region // Joan Baum

Archipelago New York This is a beautiful book.

Award-winning documentary filmmaker, writer, and photographer Thomas Halaczinsky manages to bring to his subject — the islands and waterways of New York City and Long Island — not just his skills as a photographer and a sailor, but a sense of wonder that reflects the journey he took to the 70 or so islands he visited by way of his 30-foot sailboat, Sojourn, a sloop outfitted for single-handed sailing on which he lives when he stays in Greenport. Gorgeous charts accompany brief text for 15 chapters, each headed with nautical notation courtesy National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. Archipelago New York is more than a picture book, however, even though the magnificent, moody, almost monochrome darkpalette seascapes would enhance any art gallery. Halaczinsky, who came to New York from Germany in the early 1990s, invests his narrative with

EAST END

BLUEPRINT

love and an inspired desire to tell a bit of history about the harbors and islands he cruised from Manhattan to Fishers, the farthest east of any island in New York State. Leave it to an outsider to remind those in the City of the Manhattoes that they are surrounded by water and why this fact was significant when the islands were first charted in the 17th Century by adventurers looking for “identity and place” (a lot of exploration began with the Dutch explorer, Adriaen Block in 1614).

And leave it to an immigrant to note that the descendants of longtime residents seem unaware of their islands’ rich ethnic history. How telling, he notes, that for centuries the New York archipelago has separated people (the rich living on Manhattan, the poor interred on Potter’s by prisoners on Hart, the sick on Welfare and Brothers’, the criminal on Riker’s). The word “archipelago” references the Aegean Sea, meaning main sea in olden days. By using this word, rather than “island” in his title, Halaczinsky would appear to invoke a sense of the connectedness of these waterways and land masses that defined civilization. Altogether the islands constitute testimony to the variety of the sea as well as confirm that water is key to “mankind’s future,” an admonition that the aquatic world he treasures is indeed, as “scientists in all disciplines” agree, threatened by climate change and rising sea levels. Halaczinsky’s no scold or propagandist. More than a geographical and environmental

Starting out from Gateway Marina in Brooklyn, Halaczinsky sailed past the marshlands of Jamaica Bay and then into Broad Channel, where settlers built stilt homes that would survive destruction or yield to inexpensive rebuilding. Tidbits include lore about the 1920s when this area with no police precinct was a speakeasy and the rum-running center of city life. He glides by Coney Island and notes in passing Fred Trump’s attempt to industrialize the area. The photographs, especially those that bleed out to the edge, sometimes a double-page spread, arrest with elegant muted hues and starkly simple composition -— misty mid-horizon line scenes of sea and sky that reinforce the author’s declaration that “seasoned

skippers” tend to rely on what they see and hear and intuit rather than on batteries and motors, sticking to “old rules that have regulated life on the water for millennia.”

Still, he’s humbled by what he didn’t fully take into consideration about currents and tidal force, particularly in areas where big container ships ply their trade. “Realizing my weaknesses made me stronger.” It’s amazing how many native New Yorkers and Long Islanders don’t know about the waters and islands around them, unaware of the neglect of waterfronts in the 1970s and indifferent to the existence of island environments nearby.

Whoever heard of manmade Swinburne and Hoffman in Lower New York Bay, both associated with early days of immigration? Who knew that several islands in The Sound have military history? Or that Fishers (in 1879 it was decided it belonged to New York, not Connecticut) was the forced home of a slave who kept a journal of his brutal existence there, evidence of the fact that one out of five people on Long Island in Revolutionary times were of African descent? Yes, this is a beautiful book. It is also an important, informative one.

EAST END BLUEPRINT

journey, Archipelago New York is a visual and poetic tribute to these islands from a seafaring perspective — an appreciation of what it means to be a lone traveler in a world of beauty, and danger and peace: “No matter how many times I did it, shutting off the engine was always a magical moment. Suddenly, I heard nothing but the sound of the wind and the boat gently pushing through the water” and learned “how time is gauged by the change of light.”

Kiss & Tell // Heather Buchanan “Relationships are fascinating but sometimes just breakfast is funny,” I explained. Such began a journey which lasted almost eight years and was truly some of the most fun writing I have ever had (maybe not so much for the men in my life).

Kiss & Tell 2.0 My version of “Once upon a time” is “So I met a guy in a bar . . .”

Hence was the beginning of “Kiss & Tell” in 2002 when I met then editor Tom Clavin at then writers’ hangout Nichol’s and pitched him a column, which was a cross between Candace Bushnell and Erma Bombeck.

Back in 2002, “How You Remind Me” by Nickelback was topping the charts, Mimosa Monday was the local holiday, my dad was still alive, and my heart didn’t have a set of treadmarks yet. Now it’s 16 years later, and the dating world is about sexting, ghosting, and adulting. Seriously, adulting has to be a verb to avoid maturity? #MeToo is a very serious matter — not “I only like enough orange juice in my mimosa for color.” “Oh my god, me too!” And the bar to intimacy is set as low as swipe right.

Romance is also abbreviated. What was once a passionate longing for

love in a hand-written letter is now “K,” like “OK” took too long to write. Emotions are so complex they may need numerous emojis like heart, hands clapping, fist bump. There is Tinder, which I keep confusing with tender, and in a sailing town, it’s always awkward when asking for the small boat which takes you to the larger boat.

To re-enter the dating world at a certain age requires a great deal of courage. Trust is difficult, and even if you may get hurt, you still have to open your heart for the authentic experience to have a chance at success. It requires a well-developed sense of humor, adroitness at apps (and I don’t mean the mini crab quiche), and a knack for getting Spanx off unnoticed like some sort of girdle Houdini. On the good side, experience is a blessing to know yourself and what you want and to have a bit

more compassion for the human condition. No one gets to a certain age without experiencing first-hand the ultimate joys and absolute cruelties in life. People fall somewhere on the sliding relationship scale of security to freedom — from the matching windbreakers to the condom in the pocket. There is something to be said for a lifetime of memories as well as the thrill of a first kiss.

In my very first column, I quoted F. Scott Fitzgerald who said, “There are no second acts in American lives.” I challenged him to a drink at Bobby Van’s on a Friday night. At this point I suppose I am on my third act, but that’s just when things get interesting. You never know because hey, I just met a guy at a bar . . .

Classic Summer Dining This week’s focus ahead of the July 4 celebrations is on that classic summer dinner. Summer dining is light, social and needs to be oh, so well executed. This week we focus on that classic summertime wine, rosé, along with the dishes and chefs you need to experience in the coming week…

The Chefs

The RosÈs

The Dishes

1. James Carpenter is creative in Claude’s kitchen. A veteran not just of the U.S. Navy but also in hospitality and some of the East End’s finest kitchens, Chef Carpenter brings decades of culinary experience. Prior to joining the team at Claude’s, Carpenter was executive chef at eateries including Della Femina, The American Hotel, Page at 63 Main, The Living Room, and East Hampton Point. Serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner both inside and on the outdoor patio to guests and public starting at 7 AM. www. southamptoninn.com 2. Brian Szostak is brilliant at the Bridgehampton Inn. With over two decades as the hands behind some of the East End’s most talented chefs, Szostak is finally getting his time to shine as the Bridgehampton Inn’s new executive chef. A seasonally-minded chef, he manages a consistently evolving menu based on freshness, taste, and availability. Those who have been blown away at Amarelle, Jedediah Hawkins, the Riverhead Project, Stone Creek Inn, or Noah’s during the past few years have already tasted dishes handcrafted by Chef Szostak. www.bridgehamptoninn.com 3. Eric Miller’s CIA skills put to work at Bay Kitchen Bar. A Culinary Institute of America graduate in 1980, Chef Miller spent time in notable New York kitchens, including The Helmsley Palace Hotel in Manhattan and The Long Wharf and Carol’s in Sag Harbor. In 1985, he was awarded “Chef of the Year” by The Aspen Times for his culinary brilliance at Aspen’s Charlemagne Restaurant.

4. 1. Chateau de Chausse Rosé Cotes de Provence 2016. This is the wine for the Summer of 2018. What rosé could boast better social credentials in the Hamptons than one coming from a vineyard located close to St. Tropez in the South of France? Chateau de Chausse produces a range of syrah, cabernet Sauvignon, cinsault, Grenache and rolle. These grapes provide the key to the fabulous Rosé Cotes de Provence 2016. Blended from Cinsault and Grenache grapes, this rosé has high minerality and is dry with a fruity taste, which reflects the proximity of the soil from the Mediterranean. www.chateaudechausse.com 2. Hampton Water Rosé Wine 2017. You are definitely not “living on a prayer” ordering a bottle of Diving into Hampton Water Rosé 2017 — a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvedre grapes from a new winery involving rock legend Jon Bon Jovi. Before long, like the hit song, this wine will be “Wanted, Dead or Alive” www. hamptonwaterwine.com

3. Miraval Rosé Cote de Provence 2017. Boasting access to some of the best terroir in Provence, combined with ideal geographic elevation and climate, movie-star Brad Pitt felt compelled to get involved in creating this high-end summer rosé. Miraval incidentally also makes a delicate olive oil for cooking. www.miraval-provence.com

4. Wölffer Estate Summer in a Bottle Rose. Produced and bottled on Long Island, New York Wölffer Estates celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Wolffer’s Summer in a Bottle Rosé is a non-vintage wine which aims to capture the spirit and style of the Hamptons in a bottle. A blend of some six grape varietals, the wine, which has a light, coppery color, is full of aromas, with some acidity and minerality for balance. www.wolffer.com

4. 1. Try the Cioppino on a date night at Southampton’s Tutto Il Giorno — a classic Neopolitan shellfish stew with lobster, calamari, mussels, and clams. www.tuttoilgiorno.com 2. Go casual at The Blue Parrot in East Hampton and try the house guacamole — made with fresh avocados, white onions, lime, cilantro, and Pico de gallo. Enjoy! www. blueparroteasthampton.com

3. Feel French at brunch perennial Pierre’s in Bridgehampton and order the Salade de tomate a la mangue et avocat. This light salad, combining tomatoes with mango and avocado, and topped with olive oil and lemon juice will refresh the palate. www.pierresbridgehampton.com

4. Enjoy a touch of Tuscany at Sotto Sopra in Amagansett and bond over a classic pizza. Try the Picante pizza combining sliced pepperoni, spicy sausage, and creamy ricotta. Feeling hungry yet? www.restaurantsottosopra.com

June 27, 2018

4. Scott Kampf sizzles at Southampton Social Club. New York native Scott Kampf has led an illustrious career with a focus on French-American cooking with honors including the acclaimed Chaine des Rôtisseurs Award of Excellence and Star Chef ’s People’s Choice Award.

Arts&Entertainment to Hawks, the competitive William Faulkner (yes, that William Faulkner, brought in as screenwriter), jumped at the opportunity to work on it “because it was Hemingway’s. He wanted to change it.” And change it he and co-writer Jules Furthman did, ditching most of the novel’s plot and characters for the somehow reminiscent wartime theme and the evolving leading star romance.

It’s no secret that film buffs love to binge on repeat visits to Michael Curtiz’s 1942 Casablanca. These uber-fans include the many East Enders who raptly devoured the film’s recent Guild Hall 75th anniversary reprise (which featured Isabella Rossellini’s compelling description of her mother Ingrid Bergman’s less than close onset relationship with Humphrey Bogart). The question at hand for those faced with a potentially rainy holiday weekend is “What else can feed this obsessive addiction?” Here’s one suggestion: To Have and Have Not, a film that under Howard Hawks’s rapid-fire direction unabashedly cribs Casablanca’s themes — but with a seductive romantic subplot that provides its own insouciant flair. This time around, with French Martinique standing in for Morocco, Bogart reprises his

role as a cynical expatriate, supported (character by Casablanca character) by a Claude Rains-like elusive police inspector, a Victor Laszlo/Paul Henreid idealistic resistance fighter, a lurking Sidney Greenstreet-esque presence, and Hoagy Carmichael, filling in Sam’s musical relief.

But the kicker is Lauren Bacall, the anti-Ingrid Bergman — a sultry lounge singer, not a tragic moralist. Her startling star turn, in this, her first film, set her on the road to future stardom (and marriage to her co-star Humphrey Bogart). Her provocative presence (“You know how to whistle, don’t you? You just put your lips together and blow”) is compounded by the compelling magnetism of her obvious relationship with a bemused and bewitched Bogie. He is a grizzled 44 years old, while she, astonishingly, is a precocious 19. They underscore their belowthe-text affinity by their use of personal monikers (“Steve” and “Slim”) that have nothing to do

with their scripted names. They married two years later, following their screen reunification in the noir classic The Big Sleep, and made a number of other films together before Bogie’s tragic 1957 death from lung cancer.

To Have and Have Not is supposedly based on a 1937 Ernest Hemingway novel, a turgid, quasi-Marxist tale of proudly independent fishermen, decadent tourists, rabid revolutionaries, and smuggling between Cuba and Key West. In fact, the genesis of the film came from a hunting trip conversation in which director Hawks challenged Hemingway that he could take his worst novel and make a movie out of it. Hemingway nominated To Have and Have Not, and according

★

By the time of the film’s 1944 production, Faulkner was in the midst of his alternative career as Hollywood script doctor and screenwriter — a job he supposedly loathed, but one that paid the ever-crushing bills incurred by his Oxford, Mississippi home and wife, and which subsidized his unprofitable, and at that point little-recognized, career as one of literature’s great novelists. To Have and Have Not initiated a friendship and partnership between Faulkner and Hawks that continued with such classic (and not-so-classic) films as The Big Sleep, Air Force, and Land of the Pharaohs.

Hawks honed his skills with fastpaced, overlapping dialogue in early screwball comedies such as Bringing Up Baby and The Front Page. His obvious rapport with actors, especially those with a strong personality of their own, encompassed both comic masters Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and Rosalind Russell, as well as such tough guy (and gal) icons like John Wayne, Robert Mitchum — and of course, Bogart and Bacall.

To Have and Have Not may have its Rick’s Café roots in the earlier classic Casablanca, but it’s definitely a film to savor — both because of its proudly derivative stance, but also due to the irresistible BogieBacall dramatic duo. The movie is available on FilmStruck and Amazon Prime, streaming or disc.

She even has family in the area. Fierro’s Pizza in East Hampton — “the best pizza!” — are cousins from her mother’s side. “It was just so great to meet them and get to know them,” she effused. “Family is everywhere.” FATHER & DAUGHTER Life growing up wasn’t always easy, as all families have their stuff. Turturro admits to basically being on her own from the age of 15 on, putting herself through college

at SUNY New Paltz and taking control of her own destiny and career at an early age.

It was the day after Fathers’ Day when we met — with both of us missing our dads, talk naturally turned in that direction.

The Turturros spent time during the summers going to the beach, “even though dad was an artist, he always found the money to take us to Martha’s Vineyard or somewhere,” but never made it as far as The End. “So, when I came out here for the first time, I got that feeling, like I was with my family again during some of our happiest

times together. I wish dad could have seen this place.”

best part was being able to spoil him, buy him new clothes, stay in a fancy hotel, and I know that he was so proud of me. He painted me a beautiful birthday card that year that said, ‘You keep inventing yourself.’ I had it framed. We got to share that beautiful moment together.”

“It was nice to be nominated for the Emmy — my dad wasn’t in my life sometimes, but he came back into my life around then — and I got to take him to the awards show. I didn’t win, but I didn’t care! And he didn’t care either. The

A NEW COMMUNITY

Although her father, Dominick, passed in 2002, Turturro feels he’s still with her, and especially in Montauk. And they shared a happy moment the year before he died, when she took him to the Emmy Awards.

And “The Sopranos” was a family too — and the heart, according to Turturro, was the late James Gandolfini.

“We were blessed. Like the way I came out here and fell in love with the people? It was like that. It wasn’t just a hit show, we were blessed with an insane quality of writing. But the truth is, you can have that and still have a miserable group. But we had an amazing, beautiful group, stemming from the love from James. It has to start from the top and James, Edie [Falco], David [Chase, the show’s creator], we all were a family, like a family who supports each other,” she recalled. “I still see Edie all the time, and the kids. It’s almost in your body, in your cells, you feel it — this is my family, this is not just a job. What a wonderful, giving, generous group.”

round somewhat challenging.

Oakland’s self-identifies as “creative American with a nonstop source of fresh fish.” Indeed, its location — perched on the water, adjacent to a commercial fishing dock — makes for necessarily good eating. “I think the beauty of it is that you just don’t get fresher than fish coming off the boats,” Oakland Hill said. “We’re able to source from the best right here.” To supplement its product, the owners order from local purveyors, like Gosman’s.

oakland’s: Quality Fish and service By Hannah Selinger

Tucked away on Hampton Bays’ majestic Dune Road is a familyrun dining destination that prides itself on its plethora of fresh fish and hospitality. Oakland’s, which was established in 1992 by a family of the same name, specializes in seafood and sweeping water views enhanced by a glass dining room and rotunda. Now in its 27th season, Oakland’s was the brainchild of Joyce and Wally Oakland, a couple from Kings Park, Long Island. Wally Oakland had been in highway construction and fencing but had a vision of what he wanted to create. “He always was buying and selling

real estate, and he had this vision,” Christine Oakland Hill, Joyce and Wally Oakland’s daughter and Oakland’s co-owner, said.

“We bought some acreage in Hampton Bays, and it was on the water. Somehow, he found out about this property down here, and he just knew what to do. He was definitely a visionary.”

A visionary with a dedication to operating a family business, it turns out. Wally Oakland asked his daughter, in the middle of her college career, if she would like to help him open a restaurant. The rest is, in a sense, restaurant history. “My parents started the business in 1992,” Oakland Hill said. “It

Doug Oakland passed away, also from pancreatic cancer, in 2015. His wife, Stephanie Oakland, assumed his partnership, and she and Oakland Hill now run the business together. The restaurant, which seats 250, operates primarily from April through October, hosting private events, like weddings, in the off-season. The seclusion of the beach has made operating year-

Open 7 Days a Week

The restaurant treats each meal as a special occasion, recognizing that even just an ordinary night out for dinner deserves to be elevated. In the busy season, Oakland’s can serve up to 1000 customers in an evening, and its staff strives to treat each of these customers as important. Stephanie Oakland purchased the restaurant next door to Oakland’s, Sundays on the Bay, in 2010, making the lot of land a full-on family affair, and a lasting tribute to founder Wally Oakland. Almost three decades later, the vision that he had for a successful, waterfront restaurant that served fresh fish and more than a small dose of hospitality, has come true. The restaurant is, in the truest sense of the word, his legacy.

“For so many years, you just waited for him to walk through the door,” Oakland Hill said. “He just had that presence.”

has been run by family ever since.” When Wally Oakland passed away from pancreatic cancer in 1995, the restaurant became the pet project of his wife, Joyce. A few years later, in 2003, Christine Oakland Hill and her brother, Doug Oakland, became partners in the business.

The family attributes its longevity — in part, at least — to its view of hospitality. “Service, quality . . . if you’re going to change the quality, people notice that,” Oakland Hill said. “There are less and less familyowned businesses. It’s different than working for corporate. And we all appreciate our staff and all the hard work everybody puts in. Somebody from the family is here every single day. We want to recognize those customers who are here regularly.”

Dining reminiscent of a backyard barbecue but with a fine dining twist. The portion was large enough to split for a lunchtime meal but I found it hard to leave even a single bite on my plate.

In for the summer and hailing from Turkey, Pastry Chef Gursel wowed this Italian-blooded Long Islander with his twist on a Mascarpone Tiramisu and Mille Fuille (Napoleon) with homemade crispy film pastry dough and Baumanire cream. Both sensations adapted a lighter, fresher version on the traditionally heavy sweets.

ALivE At 75 mAin By Nicole Teitler

The East End has its share of fair weather fare, restaurants that open and close with the changing of seasons. Yet one restaurant in particular stands out as a community epicenter. 75 Main, situated in the heart of Southampton at 75 Main Street, is a picturesque Hamptons hotspot for locals and celebrities alike. Town politicos, business CEOs, “Bravo” housewives, and your next-door neighbor all have a seat waiting for them.

At 1 PM on a Saturday, the outdoor seating area is filled with guests eager to observe town happenings as they dine, tails of several four-legged friends wagging next to the boat shoes and wedges below. The bar area is situated front and center and is surrounded by

sports fans watching the World Cup. Enthusiastic “Hoorays” and melodramatic “C’mons” were a lively interjection over the soothing, European house beats playing as background music.

A Summer Smith cocktail, with Sipsmith gin, grapefruit juice, St. Germain elderflower liqueur, and lime juice offers a sweet, summery taste. For something a bit lighter, opt for the Skinny Pomegranate with Belvedere Vodka, pomegranate liqueur, pomegranate and lime juice, and Stolichnaya Ginger Beer.

It was early enough to order from the brunch menu, which offered a refreshing Watermelon Salad, with arugula, crumbled feta, chopped pistachio, red onion, all topped with a passionfruit vinaigrette. The pistachios make for a delicious

crunch and with the passionfruit drizzle, made a perfect pairing for a hot day. Some other items listed were a Smoked Salmon Platter, Crab Cake Benedict, Homemade Granola, and Brown Derby Cobb Salad. Transition into lunch with options such as a Black Bean Corn and Quinoa Burger, Stuffed Sweet Pepper, Chicken Calabrese Sandwich, Traditional Maine Lobster Roll, or a signature 75 Main Prime Burger.

Since it was, embarrassingly to admit, my first time dining at 75 Main, I decided to place my traditional “chef ’s choice” order. Head Chef Freddy did not disappoint with the Marinated Skirt Steak with mashed potatoes, French beans, and a Chimichurri sauce. Craving meat, I ravaged all I could of the chargrilled taste,

Once broken into, the Tiramisu retained a sugary aqua liquid, similar to that of Creme Brulée. The Mille Fuille was splattered like a Pollock painting, with a raspberry sauce delectable in each bite. They were anything but ordinary and so appealing that owner Zach Erdem delighted in conversation and some bites as well. Dressed the same as his staff, and partaking in some of the same work, Erdem seamlessly and intentionally blended into the mix of things. Families, couples, and friends filled the tables. Eager, friendly staff bustling around the room with countless orders, smiling. Saturday was alive at 75. Call 631-283-7575 or check out the menu online at www.75main. com.

A BBQ duck taco and an off-theboat monkfish taco at Little Lucharito’s in Aquebogue.

Little Lucharito’s: Fresh flavor By Bridget LeRoy

In Aquebogue, there’s a hot new place for the freshest food: Little Lucharito’s, a small, brightlycolored take-out, eat-in spot, an offshoot of the larger Lucharito’s in Greenport.

“Lucharito means ‘little fighter,’’’ said owner Marc LaMaina, as we sat at one of the picnic tables outside on a gorgeous early evening last week. “Our first son had some issues as a newborn, so we named the place after him.” When another son came along,

LaMaina said with a smile, it was time to another location, Little Lucharito’s, which served its first meal in October. The interior is decorated with colorful posters of cartoony Mexican wrestlers, the staff exceedingly friendly and fast.

The food is so fresh. Fish tacos were prepared with monkfish brought in that day from Braun’s Seafood. The duck for the duck taco — pulled barbecued duck with cilantro, onion, and mint radish — comes from the farm around the corner. A shrimp taco with pickled slaw and

corn salsa was exceptional.

This is not like any other chain or taco stand in the area. The accent is on super-fresh and local. And it shows in the flavors.

A young, attractive couple at the next table, Terry and Eric, admitted they were regulars. Eric loves the tacos, and Terry is a big fan of the salads. “Everything is just so fresh,” she said. And as far as the drink menu, “the white sangria is amazing,” she added. The lobster guacamole was a little pricey, but it’s all relative; most

Independent/Bridget LeRoy

items on the menu are $10 and under. A veggie quesadilla (there are vegan options as well) burst with fresh flavor; and Mema’s BBQ wings were smoky, crunchy, sticky, and delicious. The place is popular, and LaMaina sees the company continuing to expand. “I guess we’ll just need to keep having kids,” he joked.

1 large ripe tomato (sliced thin) 1 c vegetable oil

1 Tbsp Old Bay seasoning 1 Tbsp salt

3 Tbsp mayonnaise 3 Tbsp Sriracha

Directions

B-38

Season the all-purpose flour with one tablespoon Old Bay, one tablespoon salt, and two tablespoons black pepper. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk gently, put flour and panko in separate bowls also. Coat the fish one piece at a time, first with the seasoned flour, then the egg wash. Finally, coat with panko bread crumbs. Once each piece is breaded, turn the heat up on the oil — make sure it’s hot before you place the fish in one piece at a time. Fry each piece about one minute each side until the breading is nice and golden brown. Once each side is crispy and golden brown, place each piece of fish on the baking sheet and finish in the oven for three minutes. Assemble sandwich by putting Sriracha mayo on the bottom of each roll and tartar sauce on the top. Put the lettuce over the Sriracha mayo then the fish, tomatoes. Enjoy!

Dining Amaretto Crunch Gelato WHY?: “In the summers in the Hamptons when you wish to be indulgent with a touch of childhood nostalgia, nothing tastes as bittersweet as amaretto crunch gelato. The crunchiness of the almonds adds a rich texture to our creamy gelato and depth of flavor due to its slight bitter notes. It’s our own version of cookies and cream with Italy’s most celebrated traditional cookie.” INGREDIENTS: 2 c organic whole milk

Dining world is ahead of the U.S. when it comes to tea. In several cultures, tea is a way of life, embedded into cultures and enjoyed daily in different forms from morning to evening — something that we foresee taking place in the U.S. market in the near future,” explained Teixeira, who ensures that all of PLAIN-T products are harvested by hand, not machine, and sans pesticides or chemical use. To receive the most benefit from tea leaves, it’s best to drink green tea within six months and black within a year. AS GREEN AS THEIR LEAVES

Anything But Plain Tea By Nicole Teitler

Brazilian born Tathiana Teixeira, a trained classical ballet dancer since the age of four, learned early on the importance of a healthy body and mind connection. Whole leaf tea proved to be a great way to maintain that homeostasis.

Through this revelation, Tathiana decided to share the “secret truth about tea,” by offering the ultimate tea experience, educating today’s tea drinkers a single cup at a time. Together with her husband, Alessandro, PLAIN-T was born.

“We are passionate about what we do,” said Alessandro Teixeira, whose first tea with his wife and partner was a memorable Jasmine Pearl blend. “We believe in the mental and physical health benefits that can be gained through the consumption of whole leaf tea, in challenging the status quo by thinking and acting differently. Our 13-year-old and eight-yearold daughters and their friends are all drinking tea. It is exciting to witness the joy, sense of discovery, and appreciation by each new PLAIN-T customer.”

Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world, behind water. As such, PLAIN-T has the innovative ability to tailor make its product to fulfill the needs of discerning clients, thanks to its tea master with over 30 years of experience. This jet-setting couple travels the Earth for hand-picked teas in prize-winning gardens, developing an expansive artisanal selection of first class teas. They gather plants from India, Japan, China, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Egypt. “For the most part, the rest of the

Titled the 2041 South Pole Energy Challenge, PLAIN-T will support the world’s first “green” arctic trek by supplying the expedition team whole, loose leaf tea for the entire journey.

Practicing what they preach, PLAIN-T’s continued commitment to a better future includes ecofriendly practices such as sourcing of recyclable and biodegradable materials, electronic account management, and sourcing natural light as much as possible in the warehouse. Teixeira said, “We aspire to be a company as green as our leaves. Through our collaboration with the South Pole Energy Challenge, we are looking to learn and improve

REAL REALTY

MICHAEL DAVIS MASTER BUILDER OF THE HAMPTONS By Zachary Weiss

In the Hamptons, the real estate industry reigns supreme with key players that bring it alive with substance and style. These superstars include certain brokers, interior designers, landscapers, and builders. Michael Davis is the “Master Builder” of the Hamptons — his name affording each home his commitment to the highest caliber of design and construction. We caught up with Davis, with his boyish charm and wide smile, at his home in Sagaponack, to talk about his contribution to the Hamptons real estate industry.

YOU RELOCATED FROM ENGLAND IN 1985 — WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE HAMPTONS TO PLANT YOUR ROOTS? Back in 1985, I rented a year-round cottage in Wainscott. I fell in love with the area and the weather. We enjoy four seasons in the Hamptons, whereas England can experience four seasons in a day! I also love how the farm fields run to the ocean. There’s a spirituality to the area. When you have time to tap into it, it can be a magical place.

June 27, 2018

IN THE PAST 30 YEARS, YOU’VE GROWN FROM BUILDING TO NOW DESIGNING AND BUILDING YOUR HOMES. HOW DID THIS GROWTH COME ABOUT? I started out building spec homes based on the design of turn of the 19th Century English country homes. Buyers liked my concept and starting buying the homes from design sketches. So, we morphed into being a custom home design-builder. I guess the growth came about organically through word of mouth, because I’m passionate about good design and functionality. After all, home is where the heart is!

WAS THERE A LEARNING CURVE OR WAS THE PROCESS STREAMLINED

AFTER YOU STARTED DESIGNING AND BUILDING THE PROPERTIES? As we perfected our service for owners, we began to offer not just design and architecture but also interior design, working together with the owner’s designer or our in-house design team. The designbuild method of collaborating with the architect, designer, builder, and landscape designer makes for a more efficient and cost-effective way of delivering a new custom home or renovation. Also, now we have introduced a service department and renovation division that provide both 24/7 servicing and home monitoring. Mechanicals and home automation are playing such a key role these days. So, who better to take care of this than trained professionals such as ourselves? We are finding more and more that homeowners are tied to their properties, and as families grow over time, we renovate and add to the home to accommodate new needs. Renovation is a growing trend. We handle small, medium, and large projects.

HOW DO PERMITS AFFECT YOUR DESIGN SENSE? Each town or village has its own building code. Certain municipalities have quite harsh size restrictions based on the size of the property. For example, Sagaponack counts an unenclosed porch as part of one’s house allowance. Hence, one tries to design an attractive house without losing too many bedrooms! Over the years, we have developed very good working relationships with the municipalities.

AND HOW INVOLVED ARE YOU IN THE DESIGN? DO YOU WORK WITH SPECIFIC ARCHITECTS? The design aspect of our service is the most fun. Fortunately, I

have 3-D vision which makes 2-D drawings very real to me. We have worked with our in-house team of architects for some 25 years but we also work with architects selected by our clients. We are client driven, so listening to their every need is very important right off the bat.

TELL US ABOUT SOME STANDOUT PROJECTS YOU HAVE WORKED ON. Unquestionably, the crowning moment of my career to date was the creation of a 20-acre family compound in Bridgehampton. Having located the property for my client, we subdivided the field into five lots, setting 40 percent aside as a reserve to include a one-acre man-made pond. My client entrusted me with putting together a dream team to complete the heart of the project within two years from putting pen to paper. Working closely with Historical Concepts Architects, Steven Gambrel, designer, and Ed Hollander, the landscape architect, I can honestly say we created a wonderful family retreat. Some of the unique features of this property are featured in our portfolio on our website. I also loved designing and building a relatively small cottage in Sagaponack on a half-acre, also featured on our website. No project is too big or too small!

WHAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? Shingle style with an English country flavor but with modern interior features. However, if a client wants, for example, a French villa or a contemporary mainly steel and glass house, we will happily do that.

IS THERE A PART OF THE HAMPTONS YOU ENJOY BUILDING IN THE MOST? My first project was in Sagaponack and I live there too. The farm stands, the views, and proximity to the ocean make it the most

perfect location to work. The area has it all, with open sky and forever views. However, every part of the Hamptons, from the ocean to the bay, have their unique attributes which makes my work so interesting and enjoyable.

WHEN DO YOU DECIDE A HOME IS OFFICIALLY DONE, AND YOU’RE READY TO HAND OVER THE KEYS? That’s the business end of things. Our schedule indicates the final walk through, after receiving the correct certificates we hand over the warranty book. But it’s never goodbye. In fact, I’ve remained friends with 99 percent of all my clients. Our service and home monitoring department are on call to help them out in every capacity. My clients know that I stand behind my work and I am honored to have them as my clients. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to work with such amazing people, both clientele and architects, designers and sub-contractors.

WHEN YOU’RE NOT BUILDING BEAUTIFUL HOMES, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? What don’t I like to do, is more the question. Fishing and playing golf come straight to mind. But around the home, I love cooking for my family and friends, and recently mastered the slow cooker . . . finding the right recipe that works for such a ready meal at the end of the day is rewarding. Most of all, I love spending time with my wife, Terry Cohen, our children, and grandchildren. Our laughter reverberates throughout the house. It’s a happy place for us. I couldn’t ask for more!

BOMBAY INSPIRES DESIGN FIRM By Nicole Teitler

Tina Ramchandani derives great inspiration from her global travels and incorporates her visions into each design interior she creates. Working in New York City, Los Angeles, and the Hamptons, each home is a new canvas in which she especially enjoys piecing together with local art and artisans. Before starting her own company, Tina Ramchandani Creative, in 2014, Ramchandani developed her unique design experience through affiliations with firms such as Frank & Marcotullio Design Associates and Vicente Wolf Associates. This full-service design firm brings life to every facet of a home.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE DESIGN INDUSTRY? I started my undergraduate degree with an undeclared major, not entirely sure where I was headed. I was constantly researching schools, majors, and careers. It was tough, and it wasn’t until a family vacation to Bombay, India for a wedding that it hit me. Although it wasn’t my first trip to Bombay, it was like I was viewing my surroundings there through a completely different lens. I immediately noticed the remarkable architecture, the rich and vibrant color combinations, and impeccable appropriation of space. The hotel we visited took my breath away. I became instantly captivated by the feeling that came over me as I stumbled into one well designed space after the next. It was then that I realized there was something to this, and when I got home, I began focusing on Interior Design as a career path. I switched schools and began refining the creative talents that came naturally to me, and I haven’t looked back since.

AT WHAT POINT DID YOU DECIDE TO START YOUR OWN COMPANY?

WHY DO YOU PLACE A STRONG C-4 42

EMPHASIS ON ARTWORK? Art completes and personalizes the space. What’s on the walls is as important as what’s on the floors, the furniture, and the lighting. Walking into a space should be a complete experience, and artwork is very much a part of that experience.

WHAT ARE SOME LOCAL ARTISTS

FROM THE HAMPTONS THAT YOU’VE USED?

WHERE DO YOU WORK ON THE EAST END?

I’ve purchased ready-made and custom furniture items from Fishers in Sag Harbor, and accessories from several stores in various town. I love the Boat Hulls by Michele Dragonetti and have been dying to use them in a home.

Wherever my clients are! I’ve worked with clients in Quogue, Shelter Island, and everywhere in between.

NAME SOME PLACES THAT YOU TRAVELLED TO THAT YOU INCORPORATE INTO YOUR STYLE.

June 27, 2018

Owning my own business was always something I aspired to, and I think it’s just one of those things that you have to feel out regarding when to take that leap of faith. I was very fortunate to have worked for people like Vincente Wolf, where I was able to master my craft while gaining the confidence to one day go out on my own.

Independent/Tina Ramchandani Creative

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE? It’s difficult to have a favorite, I fall in love with almost every place I visit. I really enjoy Copenhagen, Paris, and Thailand. They are all so different but each place has something to offer, in terms of design, how the locals live their daily lives and the way they enjoy each moment.

WOULD YOU SAY YOU HAVE A SIGNATURE TOUCH? I don’t necessarily have a signature touch, but I do focus on turnkey service. From the floors to the ceiling and everything in between, your space will reflect you and your interests in a warm and modern way. Each home I create is unique to each client and designed fully from start to finish.

June 27, 2018

WHAT MAKES YOUR COMPANY UNIQUE? I design homes that fully capture my clients’ lifestyle so they get to experience their lives surrounded by the things and

the people that matter most to them in a comfortable and beautiful way. I would say that my signature look is warm and sophisticated. Most of the homes I design are generally minimalistic without being stark or cold. I create livable homes that are designed to eliminate clutter, and my clients will never feel that their space is over decorated, to ensure they’re able to truly relax in their spaces.

HOW DOES HAMPTONS STYLE DIFFER FROM NYC AND LA? The interior styles differ because the lifestyles differ. The Hamptons homes we create are relaxed, easy to live in, and meant for casual living. New York and LA homes are often more luxurious, meant for a more formal way of entertaining. Visit www.tinaramchandani.com or call 212-321-0037.

Riverhead approves intermunicipal agreements By Jade Eckardt

Riverhead Central School District has approved intermunicipal agreements for shared services with neighboring and overlapping taxing districts to utilize the Riverhead Central School District’s fueling pumps at its Transportation Center.

The Riverhead Central School District will now share fueling pumps at its transportation center.

Districts involved in the agreement include the Riverhead and Manorville fire districts, the Flanders-Northampton Volunteer Ambulance Corps, the Little Flower Union Free School District,

BYOCoin & Trunk Show Saturday, July 7, 2018 11AM to 7PM

and the Mattituck-Cutchogue Union Free School District.

“These shared service agreements are a win-win,” said Riverhead CSD Board President Gregory Meyer. “They not only establish Riverhead as a regional leader but they will also provide competitive prices to area municipalities and bring in revenue to the Riverhead School District.”

The agreement aims to bolster fiscal stability and create savings for all taxpayers and was approved by the board of education on June 19.

A second agreement will allow the Riverhead Central School District to act as a service and repair shop for the Mattituck-Cutchogue Union Free School District’s bus fleet. The Riverhead CSD will charge Mattituck for labor and parts. The Riverhead Central School District will continue to explore additional shared services in an effort to promote cooperation and tax savings for its residents.

The agreements enable the taxing districts to access fuel purchased by the Riverhead CSD at state contract prices, which are considerably lower than commercial gas stations. The RCSD will charge an administrative fee of seven cents per gallon to cover its costs. The districts will be able to pass the savings onto their taxpayers, many of whom are also taxpayers in the Riverhead Central School District.

WATCH OUT. Buzz Chew was taught early that not everyone he dealt with had his best interests in mind. For example, why does any sales person have to assure you that he or she is being honest? In Buzz’s decades in the business, he’s lived by one principle: it’s not a good deal unless both sides are happy. Everyone at the dealership practices this, from the guy who changes your oil �lter to Buzz himself.

Department of Homeland Security, put a detainer on Velasquez. But ICE is like a Chinese puzzle box.

ICE does not always reveal its involvement with a prisoner like Velazquez to his local courtappointed attorney, the local prosecutor’s office, or to the local judge until the local court hearing. You would need a coyote and a snakehead to guide you through the judicial swamps, tunnels, and backroads to have a hearing on a simple trespass charge. So now Velasquez awaits a pro forma Riverhead jailhouse interview with a court appointed immigration lawyer who will explain that he will be deported.

McMorrow learned on Monday from ICE spokesperson Rachel Yong Yow that Velasquez was already deported once, in July 2011. That means he is not eligible for immigration court, since he entered

But when a new court date is set in Judge Rana’s Sag Harbor courtroom the Suffolk sheriffs will transport Velasquez for his second tour of “The System” that will take the tax-paid time of court guards, court clerks, prosecutors, a local court appointed lawyer, a bailiff, and a court reporter and the judge.

All this for a case that is moot since Velasquez is getting deported by the Feds.

This madness is not unique to the East End. It’s common across the fruited plain. And this chaos is now compounded by Health and Human Services and ICE trying to mix and match scattered children — some already in foster care, some in city and county facilities, and many too young to ID their own relatives — with parents. Many of the separated parents are now being detained in different states than their traumatized kids, in private lockups where ICE has long-term leases on beds. Some parents have already been deported to countries with even

Shameful.

Against this backdrop Hector Velasquez awaits deportation and a conclusion to his misdemeanor trespass charge. And you, the taxpayer, are still paying for the man hours of every civil servant it takes to process this zero tolerance policy on this single non-violent deportee. Now, this 24-year-old guy who came to America to work and make a better life for himself is back in a lockup, surrounded by violent MS-13 gang members.

This is how your taxes are spent to deport a single hardworking young guy who knocked on the wrong door while looking to mow a Sag Harbor lawn. The system isn’t broken.

It’s a perfectly functioning merrygo-round.

Clearly, we need hundreds more than the fewer than 400 current immigration judges to ease the crazy backlog of some 700,000 pending immigration cases, a problem exacerbated by this draconian zero tolerance policy initiated in April and still in effect for a childless guy like Hector Velasquez.

With more immigration judges, any federal case could simply supersede any misdemeanor charge in a district court and a defendant like Velasquez could be given due process in a one-stop-shop Immigration Court. Even far right U.S. Senators like Ted Cruz are saying more immigration judges are clearly the answer.

All inquires held in confidence

Now we know what Trump learned

All positions will work out of our East Hampton location.

behind closed doors at that North Korean summit.

Since blinking on child separation President Trump has doubled down on zero tolerance for illegal immigration. “They don’t talk about the death and destruction caused by people who shouldn’t be here,” Trump said. “People that will continuously get into trouble and do bad things.” It is necessary to match some facts against Trump’s xenophobic rhetoric.

A recent Associated Press story tells us that a February 2018 study by the Cato Institute citing 2015 crime statistics from Texas found immigrants in the country illegally were 25 percent less likely to be convicted of homicide than nativeborn Americans. Legal immigrants were 87 percent less likely. That same study showed that immigrants in the country illegally were also 11.5 percent less likely than native-born Americans to be convicted of sexual assault and 79 percent less likely to be convicted of larceny.

All that said, when an undocumented immigrant commits a violent or sexually abusive crime, engages in malevolent gang activity, or becomes a recidivist drunk driver, I am all for a speedy deportation. That will take more immigration judges.

But the cost alone of the current crazy process to deport a nonviolent young working guy like Hector Velasquez who came to the East End chasing the American Dream in a country enjoying full employment is enough to call for an end to this zero-tolerance crackdown.

But although Trump blinked on separating kids from parents, Hector Velasquez will still be in confinement on July Fourth as we celebrate America’s 242nd birthday. He will ride the merry-go-round of the American judicial system for another few weeks before entering a guilty plea to trespassing in Judge Rana’s courtroom with a “time served” sentence before he is deported. For knocking on the wrong door.

streets in Sag Harbor each Christmas. Although a lifelong Catholic, Whelan also explored spirituality through his reading and travels and membership in a men’s group. “He was a seeker; he never stopped searching and studying religions and spirituality,” said his former wife, Linley Pennebaker Hagen.

Whelan was born on March 14, 1952 and was educated in East Hampton schools. He received a bachelor’s degree in history from St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN, and later received a master of arts degree in Asian Studies from New York University. He and Linley Pennebaker were married on August 22, 1981. The marriage ended in divorce. Whelan is survived by four children: Heather Whelan, of Chicago, IL; Ben Whelan of Sag Harbor; Jeremy Whelan of Charlotte, NC; and Nicholas Whelan of Sag Harbor.

Besides his brother, John, he is survived by 10 other brothers and sisters: Margaret Eaton of East Montpelier, VT; Susana Kelly of North Sea and Highland Beach, FL; Maria Whelan of Chicago; Rebecca O’Herron of Newburgh, NY; David Whelan of North Haven; Anne Mullins of Orland Park, IL; Martha Robinson of Evansville, IN; Elizabeth Kotz of Bridgehampton; Catherine Foley of Montauk; and Joseph Whelan of Bristol, RI. A funeral Mass was celebrated by the Reverend Andrew Blake at St. Andrew Church on Friday. Peter Whelan was cremated.

A public education campaign was suggested to highlight the “Good Samaritan” law, which allows whistleblowers to come forward, and in the case of a drug overdose, without the repercussions of prosecution or other legal action if they call 911 for emergency

medical services.

Other campaigns that were suggested included one for parents entitled, “Look in the Mirror,” urging adults to talk with children about drug addiction, as well as one to help remove the stigma of 12 step programs, which are sober lifestyle programs that include group therapy and a regimented way of living with activities and goal-setting.

Prevention recommendations included the creation of an indoor public venue for youth activities in the winter, more options for meaningful youth-oriented employment, and increased transportation options that they can use to access the recreational venue as well as jobs. More education programs in schools and the community for students and their parents were also suggested. Southampton Town Youth Bureau Director Nancy Lynott, chair of the task force’s prevention subcommittee, said she believes the town already has the infrastructure to make the suggestions a reality. “It’s just that the opportunities are limited,” she said, adding that the committee is hoping to continue working to that end.

Supporters of the task force have claimed that the town’s unique approach in combating its opioid addiction problem, which includes the police department’s treatment bridge program, has helped reduce the number of deaths. Only one person has overdosed from opioids so far this year, as of deadline on Monday, June 25.

However, the task force was only formed as a group in the shortterm to address opioid addiction. It is likely that the group will take shape as a formal advisory committee to meet regularly and continue to make recommendations to the town, Scott said. In the meantime, task force members are waiting to hear what direction the town board will have them take, he said. Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said the board will review the recommendations and come up with a plan for how it would like the group to proceed. “Just like we have talked about recovery being life’s work, we are

going to have to keep the work going in some capacity,” he said, adding, “Just because the numbers are encouraging in opioid deaths, doesn’t mean that we get to rest. We are going to have to continue to be on this issue and working hard to prevent addiction.”

deportation. “It is the prerogative of the local jurisdiction,” Yong Yow explained about the process. ICE will not pick him up until the local matter is resolved in court.

“The options that are facing him are challenging,” Bonicelli said about Velasquez. “It would be helpful if I could find a family member, or an outside support system who could help him get through these challenges.” “If you are alone in the system, without anyone on the outside, when you have immigration issues, and you get taken into the system, there is no one there to look out for you,” said Colin Astarita, a local attorney who has dealt extensively with similar cases and was in the courtroom that day on an unrelated matter. “There are times when people can post bond, if they have family, even if they have been convicted or are in jail, they can post bond and have a chance within the immigration system.”

This morning ( June 25) we have had multiple power failures, from the hillbilly electric company called PSEG. I really believe PSEG stands for PLEASE SEND ELECTRIC, GOOBER. It sure does not stand for quality electric service . . . The public has had electric in their homes for well over 100 years, yet we are experiencing many and frequent power failures in 2018. There is very little improvement in all these years. Of one thing you can be certain however, the executive staff of Hillbilly Electric Company does not get hillbilly salaries! A well organized and controlled group of people. We need to examine and provide information on the salaries and staff of Hillbilly Electric! These people need to be exposed for where all the money is going to provide the sad electric service we are getting after all these years of ripping off their customers.

Quinn

Continued From Page 33.

Quinn have not been charged thus far as part of the Grand Jury investigation, according to Sini.

Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rap sheet containing criminal run-ins with the law is 18 pages and contains charges for driving while intoxicated, second-degree assault, as well as youthful offender convictions for first-and second-degree assault in 2016. He also had open warrants for obstructing justice and menacing with a weapon. At Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arraignment, prosecutor Brendan Ahearn requested that a hearing be held to determine if Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Peter Smith of Northport, should continue to represent him. During the course of their investigation, the DAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office learned Smith had met with some witnesses in the case and had been retained to represent some of them.

Camacho called the issues the Ahearn raised â&#x20AC;&#x153;complex and complicated,â&#x20AC;? though he ruled that Smith might continue to represent Quinn.

The match was fixed. The judges had bet on Portugal and they would keep adding time at the end of the match until Portugal tied the game. This year the matches are coming from Russia, the host nation, and we all know what a crook Putin can be. The Russians cheat at everything. They threw the Cold War. The fix is in.

Based on the top charge of aggravated vehicular homicide, a felony, Quinn faces up to 25 years in a state prison. Quinn also faces four counts of

vehicular manslaughter, as well as a count each of manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident with an injury, and tampering with physical evidence, and two counts of intimidating a witness. Other charges include driving while intoxicated, driving while ability impaired by a combination of drugs and alcohol, driving with a suspended license, circumventing an interlock device, and unauthorized use of a vehicle. Quinn was remanded without bail back to the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverside. He is due back in court on July 11.

Smith said the DAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably may want me off the case because they know that I am going to do a good job.â&#x20AC;?

Smith challenged Ahearnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for the hearing, noting the inquiry would only be necessary for a codefendant in which there is none. He further described the charges against Quinn as â&#x20AC;&#x153;allegationsâ&#x20AC;? and noted that his client, Quinn, is innocent until proven guilty.

greenport Union Free School District Greenport High School’s Andrea Ochoa won the Southold’s American Legion’s “Four Pillars of the American Legion” mural project.

The intent was to involve local youth in a project with local veterans to paint a mural representing the Four Pillars of the American Legion in the Commander’s office of Post 803 in Southold. These pillars are veteran’s affairs and rehabilitation, national security, Americanism, and children and youth. The size of the mural is 7’10” x 9’4.”

Each day, students in the Riverhead High School’s Basic Skills Development program do their part to ensure that the high school is recycling on a regular basis. They work to collect recycling bins throughout the school and sort the items deposited in them. Their hard work has paid off — this year, they beat a recycling goal of 30,000 by recycling 30,550 units of recyclables and 170 used printer cartridges. The program, now in its seventh year, has resulted in the collection of a total of 119,680 units of recyclables. All the recycled items are collected by a carting company, except for bottles and cans, which the students redeem at the recycling machines at Stop and Shop. The money is then used to purchase educational apps for the students’ iPads, donations to school programs, and flowers and plants for the school’s grounds.

Looking forward, the recycling program’s coordinators, teachers Danielle Burdo and Timothy Page, would like to expand the program by offering recycling in the district’s office, with a goal of eventually coordinating a districtwide program. More than 85 community and memorial academic scholarships were presented to members of the

The Road Warriors are back in first place after besting the Ospreys in Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League action. Independent/Courtesy HCBL

Road Warriors In Familiar Spot By Rick Murphy

The Long Island Road Warriors are comfortable being the vagabond team of the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League. And they are comfortable winning, too. Last year’s champion moved into first place by beating the North Fork Ospreys 6-4 on June 20 to improve to 11-4 on the season; The Ospreys dropped to 6-8-2. It was the fourth win in a row for the champs, and that figures, too. Coach Neal Heaton knows a thing

or two about the game — he was a schoolboy legend at Sachem High School and went on to become a member of the University of Miami Hall of Fame. He won 80 games over 12 seasons in the big leagues. By the way, Neal isn’t the only Heaton on the squad. His son, Garrett, a sophomore at SUNY Cortland, is also on the Road Warriors. He starred at Bellport High School and became a factor early in the fray when he singled in the first, advanced on a fly out, and scored on a passed ball.

North Fork moved ahead 2-1 on a two-run double by Oliver Tavares in the bottom of the third. A balk and passed ball resulted in two more runs.

But Long Island doesn’t go away. In the bottom Eric Tomakiko drove in one run and then Eric Roubal ripped a three-run dinger to make it a 5-4 affair. Tristan Amone (Fairfield) took the ball from Liam Dvorak in the fourth and pitched masterfully, allowing only one hit through the final three innings to secure the

win.

The victory left the Warriors a halfgame up on the East Hampton Aviators (10-5) in the seven-team league.

By the way, think these kids aren’t top caliber prospects? The next night HCBL alumni Zach Godley won his eighth game of the season when the Arizona Diamondbacks beat Pittsburgh. That’s the big leagues, folks: major league baseball. Godley has already won 26 games. rmurphy@indyeastend.com

• Jeffery Lukert, 34, of Speonk was arrested on Friday, June 15, in Eastport and was charged with driving while intoxicated. Lukert was stopped for speeding on Montauk Highway in Eastport at about 10:30 PM, and upon further investigation, was found to be intoxicated, state police said. He was released on traffic and appearance tickets returnable to Southampton Town Justice Court.

• Michael Difrancesco, 40, of Hampton Bays was arrested in Hampton Bays on Saturday, June 16, and was charged with driving while intoxicated. Difrancesco was stopped for failure to signal and failure to maintain his lane of travel on Flanders Road in Hampton Bays and was found to be intoxicated at about 3:27 AM. He was issued traffic tickets returnable to Southampton Town Justice Court.

There were more people standing than seated on that run back to Montauk.

The Hampton Jitney then swapped the Arboc for the older, larger bus being used on the 10B line, a 2010 Orion. While the moves helped alleviate overcrowding on the 10C, it is not clear how that will affect crowding on the 10B.

The Hampton Jitney would not respond to requests for comment, other than to say in an email that “Hampton Jitney is merely an operator of the 10C, we are supplied the vehicles by the county. Please contact the Suffolk County

Department of Public Works.” However, according to a source who works for the company, the decision to swap buses between the two lines was made inhouse at Hampton Jitney. Suffolk Transit also did not respond to calls asking for information.

According to a notice issued by Suffolk Transit, there will be two public hearings on planned changes to the two lines, one in Montauk at the Montauk Library at 871 Montauk Highway at 4 PM on Tuesday, July 10, followed by a public hearing at East Hampton Town Hall on 159 Pantigo Road,

July 11 at 5 PM.

The public notice states that “the following changes will be considered: the elimination of the S94,” along with major changes to the 10C and 10B routes. The 10C will stop looping through Ditch Plains, and, instead, will “serve Montauk Lighthouse on select trips.” The 10B’s route will be expanded to continue east from the East Hampton train station to East Hampton Town Hall.

How all this impacts Andrea’s sixday-a-week ride remains to be seen.

Indy Fit // Nicole Teitler tapping into what we already have access to. The last bowl was clear quartz crystal, tuning into the solar plexus, my power center, allowing me to take action and step into my truth.

Submerge In Sound It was 9 AM on a Saturday, also known as my busiest day of the week. I was mentally clenched, preparing for all the event coverage ahead and somehow lacking my routine cup of morning caffeine, before submerging in my first Sound Bath experience at Donna Karan’s Urban Zen studio in Sag Harbor. While I dabbled in tune forking, for a brief five-minute session, I laid down and welcomed what was ahead. Partnered with Unplug Meditation for the summer, Los Angelesbased instructor Susy Schieffelin guided a roomful through this ancient healing practice for 30 peaceful minutes. Four bowls, each with a different sound, were used. Each took me further away from a chaotic state of mind and deeper into a lucid, dreamlike state of being.

The first was infused with Dead Sea salt and tuned in between the third eye and crown chakra, used to detoxify and clear my busy mind, releasing any blockages not serving me. The next was infused with Mother of Platinum and tuned into the heart chakra, aiming to connect with the divine feminine and unleash my power to create, as well as open the heart to self-love and compassion. The third bowl was infused with Egyptian Blue, also known as calcium copper silicate, to aid in unleashing the ancient wisdom of the Egyptians, a universal wisdom that requires

Susy Schieffelin

The above might sound a bit hokey to those unfamiliar with the process, but the experiential effects were quite the contrary. Upon fully awakening from my sensory journey and resubmitting myself to the present moment, it felt as though I had just gotten a full eight hours of blissful sleep. The anxietyridden New Yorker in me was calm and refreshed, as though I had just taken a mental bath in purifying waters — in this case, frequency waves. Schieffelin was once a chronic anxiety sufferer herself, where no amount of medication seemed to work. Like so many of us today, she suffered from stress of life happening to her, as though she was a passenger in the car of her own life. Of course, you’d never know it now, having been conducting these sessions full time for a year, off all meds and caffeine. “This has given me the ability to really heal,” she said. “I can respond rather than react.” Her energy was aligned with that of the room, calming, inspiring, and genuinely open to positivity.

Unlike some other meditations that require a certain level of practice to reap the benefits, Sound Baths only call for the ability to sit still. It’s recommended to bathe once a week for about an hour, more or less as you feel necessary, to feel the true effects in reduction of anxiety and stress. Urban Zen is located at 16 Main Street in Sag Harbor and partnered with Unplug for the summer season.

“Wish You Were With Me When . . .” It’s hard to believe the U.S. Open has come and gone and now we have to wait for 2026 to roll around when, once again, Shinnecock will be the center of the golf universe and certainly the center of my golf universe.

Thanks to the Independent, this week I can share with you some wonderful things that took place on my journey through life which I have titled “Wish You Were With Me When . . .”

This week, I’m sharing two of the many unusual happenings that always seem to come my way . . .

I was in Las Vegas many years ago on a honeymoon, and a mutual friend asked me to stop by the Desert Inn Golf Club and say hello to the pro. During that conversation, I was asked if I wanted to play 18 holes later that day. Of course, I said yes, jumped at the chance, and, boy, was I glad I did.

I showed up at the designated time and was greeted by the club pro, who guided me to the putting green to meet the rest of our group. You can imagine my surprise when I was introduced to the one and only Dean Martin and his assistant. Dean asked me what I was doing in town and I replied, “I’m here on my honeymoon.” Dean came back with a quick-witted reply, “Do you take a bucket of sand with you when you go to the beach, too?” I then introduced my wife to Dean at which point he said, “Come on . . . you can ride with me in my golf cart!” The excitement of the honeymoon was rapidly replaced by the thrill of spending the afternoon riding in the golf cart with Dean Martin. The marriage didn’t last, but I can’t blame Vegas for that. In fact, two more times I went to Vegas on honeymoons and sadly, with the same results.

With directions in hand, I began sprinting towards the taxi stand when things took a turn for the worse. I kept saying, “Milano” while the driver responded by saying, “No Milano.” Finally, someone stopped by to let me now that I was at a water taxi stand used to travel the canals of Venice! Finally, I found a land taxi that agreed to take me to Milan for $200, which was a lot of money to me at the time, but I made it.

Once on the train again, I was required to get dressed in my tuxedo for dinner, which was another experience in itself. I can only say Orient Express produced quite a memorable trip and I did make it to London. After a short overnight stay in London, I was booked on the Concord for my trip back to the

U.S. After reaching cruising the altitude of 76,000 feet, I was lucky enough to be asked if I wanted to go into the cockpit. Obviously, this was well before the horrible things that happened on September 11, 2001. As I entered the cockpit, the view was unbelievable and certainly unimaginable. I could see the curvature of the Earth! Just incredible! And the really crazy part was that, technically, I landed before I took off. Since the Concord flew at the speed of sound, that combined with the time difference meant that I got back to New York before I took off. An unreal experience. Unfortunately, those days are gone as the Concord no longer flies.

So now you know why times and experiences like that truly make me feel that I “Wish You Were Here With Me When . . .”

Another tale under the headline of “Wish You Were Here With Me When . . .” involves a dream trip that unfortunately can no longer be duplicated.

I was in Venice, Italy, preparing to take the Orient Express to London. The train was set to leave the Venice station at 5 PM local time. Somehow, some way, I miscalculated the time and arrived at the station five minutes after the train departed. The next stop for the train was Milan about 260 kilometers away. I had to catch up with the train, so I

Deviation. Deviation is the sum of all the forces within your boat that keeps your compass from pointing to Magnetic North. What? Case in point: a number of years ago, I was doing USCGAux vessel exams at a local marina when one skipper came up to me and asked me if I could look at his compass because it wasn’t working properly.

Now fixing an errant compass is a relatively complicated process that requires specialized hardware. But away I went with this skipper to see if I could at least isolate the problem. We stepped on his boat and, just before taking his seat at the helm, he removed his wallet from his hip pocket (which held his police badge within) and placed it next to his compass.

While he was fumbling with the boat keys, I literally watched his compass clock around and point at his wallet/ police badge! I asked him, “Skipper, why do you put your wallet there?” He said, “It kills my sacroiliac if I sit on my wallet!” I said, “Keep your eye on your compass while I move your wallet.” As I lifted it away from the compass, the compass clocked back and pointed to Magnetic North. “You fixed my compass!” No, I simply removed a source of Deviation.

Metallic objects (or magnetic objects like radio speakers) near your compass will “fool” your compass into thinking that that object is Magnetic North. How can you tell what the Deviation is of your compass? Well, if you have a GPS, it will be easy – all you need is mile or so of calm water and you can run down the rhumb lines of the four cardinal points and record the differences between what the physical compass is reading from the GPS

course you are running.

Of interest, Deviation “deviates” differently at a given compass course so you need to check at least the four cardinal courses (when we develop our deviation tables for new boats, we measure at least 16 compass headings.) You need to know what your boat’s compass Deviation is so that, if you do have to use your compass in lieu of your GPS, you can compensate appropriately.

Over enough distance, even a degree or two can add up. If you don’t have a GPS, it is a bit more complicated but it can be done. Get your paper charts out, mark a rhumb line between two points that lie at a given magnetic course between each other. Run down that line and record what your compass is reading versus what your paper chart told you the compass should be registering. The difference is Deviation. My GPS Has Failed and I Don’t Have a Compass! Well, happily for this sorry skipper, there is a way to create a crude compass with a watch if you find yourself in such a state. Simply point the hour hand at the sun. Halfway between the hour hand (the sun) and 12 on your watch lies South. If you know where South is, you know where North, East and West are . . .

Don’t have an old fashioned watch? Draw one and line it up as it were on your wrist. It works! BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources Department. The folks there will help you “get in this thing . . .”
