Sweep Nets Suspected Code Violators

Independent / Kitty Merrill (Left) Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman and Town Code Compliance and Public Safety Administrator Steven Troyd announce the results of a hamlet-wide sweep in Hampton Bays. (Right) This motel, above, was one of the properties to come away with violations.

By Kitty Merrill

It was the largest single enforcement effort in the Town of Southampton, according to Supervisor Jay Schneiderman.

Last Friday he was joined by a raft of officials and officers from the town police department and the team that undertook the “Strategic

Code Compliance Enforcement Operation” in Hampton Bays to report the results.

Acting on tips and information gleaned on their own patrols, code enforcement officers visited and inspected dozens of properties – individual residences and motels – between October 10 and last

Friday. A total of 215 violations were issued, with fines for the transgressions ranging from $100 to $1000. Some of those violations include overcrowded housing, illegal rentals, non-functioning smoke and CO detectors, blocked emergency exits, excessive vehicles, parking in the front yards, and illegal conversions from single family homes to multi-family dwellings.

Twenty-eight landlords, including one who was convicted in June for failure to secure rental permits for eight properties he manages, received violations.

One of the most important jobs of an elected official is to protect public safety and quality of life in the community, Schneiderman pointed out. The sweep was a coordinated effort with town code enforcement, STPD, the Suffolk County Department of Health, local schools, and the fire marshal’s office. The Department of Social Services was on standby as the inspections began, in case officers found situations that could endanger children.

Schneiderman turned the podium over to Steven Troyd, head of the town’s Code Compliance and Public Safety Department, who helmed the operation.

Search warrants were executed at two properties, as a result of lengthy investigations. A yearlong

probe precipitated the search of a residence located on Hill Station Road in the hamlet. Seventeen people were allegedly living in a four-bedroom, two-story wood frame house. The basement had been converted into rooms lacking safe egress, Troyd reported. A slew of violations related to overcrowding and safety issues such as the pool enclosure, smoke and CO detectors, blocked emergency egress, and hazardous electrical wiring were issued. So, too, were violations of the town code related to illegal rental, and one-family to multi-family conversion. Mold was found in the ceiling. An interview of residents revealed the property was run by an individual who previously was taken to court for similar misdemeanors.

On October 11, code enforcers visited 42 residential properties, issuing 25 notices of violation for 49 violations running the gamut from building without a permit to change of use, excessive vehicles, front yard parking, property maintenance, to failure to obtain rental permits. There were 17 properties that didn’t receive any violations.

Last Thursday it was two motels’ turn.

At the Bel Aire Cove Motel on Shinnecock Road, Troyd said inspectors found bed bug and roach infestation, overflowing septic,

Beckoned To Broadway

By Kitty Merrill

encouraged to ad lib.

As a kid growing up in Remsenburg, Billy Finn was, like most little boys, reluctant to let down his defenses and risk embarrassment. “I didn’t want to be made fun of,” he told The Independent this week, sitting backstage at the Jerry Orbach Theater getting ready for the week’s eighth performance.

Three years ago, Finn moved to Los Angeles, landing a gig with Universal Studios as a wizard in the Harry Potter homage, Wizarding World. Earlier this year, a friend from the Wizarding World let him know GOT: The Rock Musical was casting and needed an understudy.

Already a fan of the wildly popular HBO series, Finn jumped at the chance – and directors grabbed him up. “I read and sang for them and they said, ‘You’re perfect. Learn three roles, we open in two weeks.’

That childlike fear is distant in the rearview these days. As Rob Stark – or Prince Joffrey, or Bran Stark, or Viserys, or even a Direwolf -Finn cavorts onstage, losing a goofy version of “rock, paper, scissors,” undulating shirtless in a cheesy beefcake moment, belting out solo songs, grabbing guffaws galore from the audience, dissing the bastard Jon Snow, and lots more in Game of Thrones: The Rock Musical, an unauthorized parody, which opened Off-Broadway on Saturday.

Once bitten by the acting bug, Finn fantasized about auditioning for plays in the Big Apple. But, the 24-year-old East End native said this weekend, “I never thought I’d be asked to come to New York to perform.” Saturday’s opening in the heart of the theater district felt “so surreal and amazing.”

Independent / Courtesy BF A Stark revelation: Billy Finn sits the Iron Throne at the Orbach Theater in New York.

Finn jokes that his resume so far “doesn’t look real.” His first stage experience dates back to middle school in Westhampton Beach when he snagged a role in Seussical the Musical. “I found out it was a lot of fun being on stage.” He performed in school plays moving

forward and in high school did a show outside of school. “I got my first paycheck and realized maybe I could make a career out of this.” He studied theater at Emerson College and upon graduation moved to Florida.

And that’s where the resume gets, well, interesting. Finn found work at Disney World, as a Jungle Cruise skipper. “It was an acting job. I got used to speaking before the audience.” The show had a set script, but performers were also

“I was really thrust into it,” Finn recalled. He’s been with the troupe since the show opened in LA last March, travelled to San Diego for Comic Con months later, and now hits the stage in NYC. Back in LA, the ensemble troupe was comprised of about 30 members. “We had two complete casts and alternated every performance.” To come to New York, the cast was cut to one group of performers. Asked how it felt to be selected from among almost three dozen actors for the trip, Finn struggled to find the words: “Oh my gosh, to get picked to come! I got the call out of left field and it still doesn’t feel real,” he said.

“It’s a coming home for me. These streets are where I grew up,” Finn informed. His mother, Lisa, is an ardent fan of the theater and originally from the city. “My mother and grandmother loved Broadway and brought me often as a little girl,” Lisa, now a North

IF WE SHOULD MEET AND I IGNORE YOU Are you like me? Stuck for life with a horrible memory for names and faces?

The truth is, I have a great memory for the most trivial of facts. (Nick Etten of the Yankees led the American League in homers in 1944 with 22; Donna Reed won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1954 for From Here to Eternity.)

I could bore you to death with millions of dumb facts that no one is interested in. Perhaps this is why, as a young man, I had so few second dates with women. On top of that, I have a horrible memory for names and faces.

This is usually solved when I’m with my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, who, aware of my problem, compensates for my shortcoming by digging her nails into my arm when

october 18

a couple, who appear to be complete strangers to me, approaches us at a cocktail party.

Judy then screams out as though I’m deaf as well as dumb: “HELLO! IT’S BILL, B-I-L-L STRAUSS AND NANCY, N-A-N-C-Y. How are you two? Jerry, aren’t you going to say hello to BILL AND NANCY?!”

Naturally I’m standing there looking like Bobo the Ape Boy, and most people look a little dismayed by Judy’s screaming out their name.

But for the most part it works for Judy and me. And I’m sure that most couples we know, when they are alone, wonder how someone as smart as Judy wound up with such a clueless boob for a husband.

Judy’s great memory for names and faces, of course, doesn’t help me when I’m alone. For example, I remember

Then I spotted a familiar face – or at least I thought it was a familiar face. This attractive woman who was sitting alone appeared to be waving at me. Naturally, as I approached her I was desperately trying to remember who she was, and decided to have a conversation with her and fake it until I could figure out the connection.

This method usually works for me, but occasionally someone will look me in the eye and say, “You have no idea who I am, do you?” That’s when I go into my famous “I’m an idiot” defense. But the woman sitting alone in the Blue Water Grill looked friendly, and she was waving, so I waved back, rushed up to her table, planted a big kiss on her cheek, and said, “How are you?”

“Who are you?” she answered.

Just then the waiter the woman had actually been waving to came up and asked the woman if he could take her order.

“Sorry, my mistake. So, so sorry,” I muttered, slinking away, trying my best not to look like the kissing bandit of the Blue Water Grill. This, of course, was not my greatest “wrong person” disaster. That happened a number of years ago.

was housed in a large office building on East 42nd Street in Manhattan. A UPS truck sat outside the building all day long, making daily deliveries to the companies in the building. One of the nicest people making these deliveries was an African-American woman named Ramona, who had a friendly smile and a nice word for everyone. Ramona’s hair was striking and very distinctive, as she had it arranged in wide cornrows on her head with the ends falling down to her shoulders.

One day, I walked out of my office and I spotted Ramona, cornrows and all, in her UPS uniform, with her back to me, waiting for an elevator in the long, public hallway. I walked up to her, tapped her on the shoulder and, kidding, I said: “I guess you’re waiting here just because you want to be alone in the elevator with me.”

The cornrowed head swung around and it wasn’t Ramona’s. It was an African-American UPS man with cornrows identical to Ramona’s, except he had a big black mustache and he wasn’t smiling. Whoever said “white men can’t jump” did not see me jump at that moment.

I went straight up and, as I came down, I was running before my feet touched the ground. I was flying down the long hallway to another bank of elevators. I looked over my shoulder and there was the UPS man, giving me the most menacing stare.

Naturally, the elevator I got on was crowded with people coming from an upper floor who stared at what they perceived was a madman who came into the elevator alone and started giggling. Of course, in trying to hold back my laughter I only succeeded in making the most unappealing snorting sounds.

The elevator reached the ground floor and cleared in record time.

Bullying: It Has To Stop Now

By Justin Meinken

they will be labeled as a snitch. We need to change that,” she said.

Recently, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and New York State Education Department Commissioner MaryEllen Elia released guidelines and materials to all school districts in New York State to be used to ensure compliance with the Dignity for All Students Act. DASA is the first comprehensive statewide legislation to protect students in public elementary through secondary schools against bullying, discrimination and harassment.

A workshop to spark awareness for issues such as bullying was held last Saturday in the Hampton Bays Senior Center. Sponsored by the Town of Southampton, its Youth Bureau workshop was part of the Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month agenda and included guest speaker Nancy Silberkleit, co-CEO of Archie Comics.

“It’s hard to get into a bully’s mind,” Silberkleit said. “Why do they bully people? We don’t always know why.” What’s important, she stressed, is that “we need to be kind to others and stand up for a person who doesn’t have anyone and is being bullied. Too many times we have seen horrific acts of bullying and no one ever stood up for their targets. In the end, the targets took their own lives rather than continue to live in that manner. You can make a difference by upping your acts of kindness.”

She continued, “Perhaps you’ve seen or even know someone who seems like they don’t have a friend in the world. Let them know you care. Be kind. Say something nice even if it’s a comment like, ‘Nice shoes!’”

As publisher for the Rise Above Social Issues Foundation, East Hampton resident Silberkleit dedicated the comic book Rise Above! “to a young boy from Canada named Mitchell, who took his own life as a result of being bullied. Rise Above! is about not letting the balance of power be negative. It walks through the challenge of being bullied. Life is always changing and is full of challenges. But each of us has the

“Although there is the Dignity for All Students Act in place, some schools do not enforce it because they do not want to be labeled as a school that has problems with bullying,” said Scalera. “The laws are slow to address issues like bullying and cyberbullying. We’re hoping that programs such as this one can teach that we do not have to accept that type of behavior.”

Independent / Justin Meinken Councilwoman Christine Scalera (fourth from left) with participants in Saturday’s Youth Bureau workshop.

power to be a change maker,” she said.

“I have a mantra that I came up with for myself and I live by: Never let anyone define who they want you to be. You know who you are.

Think about your own mantra and live by it!” Silberkleit concluded with, “Make a difference in the world.”

Act Two, a student community theater group of the Youth Bureau followed Silberkleit’s inspiring speech and performed skits which highlighted different scenarios of bullying and the feelings associated with them. Singer Lindsay Dunn followed with a few uplifting songs which included Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful,” “Million Reasons” by Lady Gaga, and “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen.

The members of Act Two – Ava Reid, Amani Richards, Nicole Guerrero, and Kayla Guerrero – told the audience that having been participants in the workshops and the Youth Bureau, they now felt comfortable reporting a bullying problem to a counselor and said that they have already been “upstanders” for others.

Councilwoman Christine Scalera has been a supporter and promoter of the town’s youth programs for many years. She stated that her desire to do something about bullying started “about 11 years ago, when a mother came to me in desperation. Her child was being relentlessly bullied and no one would do anything to stop it. She

didn’t know where to turn for help.”

Scalera continued, “If you look around this room, just about every young student who participates in the Youth Bureau has experienced bullying and has also seen friends, or other students in their schools, who are being bullied. Some of them don’t want to report it because

Sand In My Shoes

by Denis Hamill

The Undertaker In Chief Ryan looked down at his iPhone news alert: TRUMP TO SCRAP CRITICAL CARE SUBSIDIES, HITTING OBAMACARE AGAIN.

Ryan sat with a relative in a waiting room known as the Fourth Floor in a midtown Manhattan office building looking out onto the infamous Lipstick Building on 53 St. and Third Ave. Up there, on the 17th floor, Bernie Madoff from Far Rockaway had built a career and a $7 million Montauk mansion from a $50 billion Ponzi scheme that ruined and ended countless lives. His sociopathic avarice drove his son, Mark, to

hang himself at 44. The shame and stress clearly exacerbated his son Andrew’s death from cancer at 48.

That is the collateral damage caused by the selfish actions of a sociopathic man.

Across the street from the scene of Madoff ’s crimes Ryan sat with his relative on the Fourth Floor which since that news alert was a worse crime scene. The Fourth Floor was filled with some of the bravest people in the big tough city as this was the waiting room of the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where people diagnosed

with colon and rectal cancers come every couple of weeks to fight for another year, month, week, day of this wonderful thing called Life.

More lose than win.

Ryan didn’t mention the news alert but he saw his relative reading her iPhone.

“Trump is at it again,” she said, looking up. “His own Republican congress failed twice to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act so he just slashed subsidies for people in my health situation. Nice, huh?

When I beat this cancer, and I will beat it, I will have a pre-existing condition. I’m lucky that I have good health coverage because if I was on Obamacare, my new premium after Trump’s cut would be like $28,000.”

Which makes Trump the Undertaker in Chief.

She looked around the Fourth Floor at cancer patients from every walk of life, from East Flatbush to East Hampton, many spending life savings to travel here from other cities, states, countries, continents.

They were men and women, young and old, white, black, Hispanic, Asian, wearing hijabs, yarmulkes, turbans, kufis, and wigs for chemoinduced baldness. They sipped gratis coffee and nibbled Graham crackers and shared whispers of hope fueled by evermore precious breaths as they awaited blood work results.

When their names were called they were led into chemo suites where they sat in recliner chairs as compassionate nurses offered blankets. Then IV tubes were plugged into mediports embedded under their chemo-creped skin as IV bags of experimental heavy metal bromides dripped for a few hours into their circulatory systems to fight the insidious microscopic monsters that were trying to eat them alive from within.

You don’t know “scary” until you’re a regular customer at this little shop of horrors.

Everyday is Halloween on the Fourth Floor.

The last person dear to him that Ryan accompanied regularly to the Fourth Floor was a big, burly guy, a city sanitation man who became 8

october 18

2017

a city cop, a legitimate tough guy who fought in the heavyweight Golden Gloves semi-finals before 20,000 people in Madison Square Garden and played with the NYPD football team in the Orange Bowl. He bet his bighearted life on finding a miracle up here on the Fourth Floor.

He left us at 52.

Ryan looked over to his relative, devoid of a single droplet of selfpity. She sat like a brave fighter waiting for the bell to send her out to fight the ninth of 12 rounds of chemo.

“I’m gonna be okay,” she said. “I’m gonna win. I have great health coverage. My husband has great coverage. I’m young. The doctors give me a 75 percent change of beating my cancer. But there are people here in worse shape than me. For those fighting cancer with Obamacare, the Trump cuts will kill a lot of them. Others won’t get into MSK because their coverage won’t be good enough. If you don’t get first-rate treatment for stage three and stage four cancer you are going to die. What Trump just did is going to kill people in this room and in cancer rooms like it all across America.”

She paused, glaring out at the Lipstick Building that stood like a towering tombstone to all those another selfish sociopath drove to early graves.

“And Trump did this for one and one reason only,” said Ryan’s relative. “Obama. He’s so jealous of Obama being smarter, younger, more popular, and more successful than he’ll ever be that he wants to obliterate everything Obama accomplished in office. Doesn’t matter if people’s lives will be lost because of his ego. Every health organization, all the heart, diabetes, cancer organizations, warned and begged Trump not to do this. He just killed more people than we can count with one swipe of his pen. Karma will get him for this.”

Then Ryan’s relative’s name was called across the crowded Fourth Floor and she got up to go fight another round for her life.

Obituary

William E. Havens, Jr., 65

William (Billy) E. Havens, Jr., a lifelong Bonacker from Amagansett, died Thursday, September 28, 2017 in Boca Raton, Florida. Billy had recently moved to Florida to be nearer to his only daughter, his pride and joy, Rebecca, who is currently residing in Boca Raton and attending Florida Atlantic University.

Billy was born July 10, 1952, the son of William E. Havens and Anna Hollander Havens, both of whom predeceased him. He was also predeceased by his brother, Benjamin. In addition to his daughter Rebecca, he is survived by his sisters Marion Havens of Hicksville, NY, Lillian Havens of Manorville, NY, Connie Havens Colonna of Springs, NY, and by his brother Nick Havens of Amagansett, NY. Billy is also survived by his sister-in-law Mary Emma Havens, brother-in-law Alex Colonna, and his nieces and nephews Michael Havens, Jeanie Stillwachs, Kelly Havens, Julie Havens, Sara Havens, Jason

Cobb, Anna Colonna, Alexandra Colonna, Tonio Colonna, and by his great nephew and niece Ethan and Taylor Stillwachs.

At a young age, Billy followed in his father’s footsteps and fishing became his way of life. However, the struggle of the local fishermen ensued and Havens was involved and instrumental in defending the local way of life of the East End baymen. Because of his prominent involvement, he was featured in Billy Joel’s “Downeaster ‘Alexa’” video in 1989, depicting the hard work and woes of the commercial fishing business, was included in Peter Matthiessen’s book Men’s Lives, which chronicled the lives of the local baymen, and had been interviewed in The New York Times feature stories.

Because of Havens’s well-known reputation as a man who “knows the sea and local waters best,” he was introduced to his future wife, Deborah Ross (now deceased), as she was gathering information to produce a movie about the local

fishing situation on the East End. Billy and Debbie not only enjoyed the East End with the fishing community, but they also owned and operated Harry’s Hideaway restaurant and bar in Springs (the former Jungle Pete’s).

Though the fishing and Bonac community were deeply seeded in Billy’s heart, he and Debbie moved to California where he succeeded

and enjoyed his union job of being a grip in the filmmaking business.

However, in the mid 1990s the East End happily welcomed them back, this time including their young daughter Rebecca.

Life was not always easy living and struggling with a fisherman’s lifestyle, but through any hardship, Billy still shared his contagious

Two Local Gems Registered

The Eliis Squires Jr House in Hampton Bays and the William A. Farnum Boathouse in Sag Harbor have both been listed on the State Register of Historic Places.

Compiled by Kitty Merrill

Friday the 13th was a lucky day for folks interested in preserving local heritage. That’s the day Assemblyman Fred Thiele announced that the William A. Farnum Boathouse in Sag Harbor and the Ellis Squires House in Hampton Bays have been listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places and nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.

Built circa 1915, the William A. Farnum Boathouse is most closely associated with William Farnum, a prominent, early 20th-century stage and film actor, who had roles in over 20 films from 1930 through his death in 1953.

Notes from the state review board’s assessment of both houses follow.

Farnum was born in Boston to a family of actors. He grew up around the theater and began acting at age 14.

He first gained critical and commercial success in 1900, when he played the leading role in BenHur on Broadway. After working in touring productions for a few years, he founded the William Farnum Stock Company in 1904.

The company, which was based out of Park Theater in Buffalo, offered a new show every week. Farnum hired Olive Ann White, well-known for her roles in Irish-themed stage productions and as the inspiration the song “My Wild Irish Rose.” The

two hit it off, and White divorced her husband. In 1906, Olive and William married at her house in Sag Harbor on Actor’s Colony Road.

In 1913, William Farnum made the switch from the stage to the screen when he signed a contract to act in The Spoilers, a western about the Nome Gold Rush. Farnum’s fight with Tom Santschi in the final scene, which was unrehearsed, lasted a full reel, and is still considered a classic. It helped push Farnum to film stardom. Farnum became a sensation and was known for his physical, rugged roles in Western and action movies. By 1917, he had become Fox Studio’s leading male star and one of the highestpaid actors in Hollywood, earning $10,000 a week.

many parties in the trophy room on the second floor of the boathouse, which was lined with mounted fish and trophies earned in races.

Injured, Farnum returned to Sag Harbor in 1924 to recuperate and did almost no acting for six years.

In his absence, the film industry transformed with the advent of talking movies. After Olive Ann and William divorced in 1929, he no longer returned to Sag Harbor.

He continued working in theater

Continued On Page 54.

When he wasn’t filming, Farnum frequently escaped to his home on Actor’s Colony Road to relax.

During the 1910s, he expanded the existing property and built a gentleman’s farm and recreational buildings on the beach. Farnum enjoyed engaging in physical activity, working on his farm, and getting out on the water – and staff from Fox’s PR department were often around, taking pictures or writing stories to promote Farnum’s masculine image.

Of all the buildings on the estate, Farnum’s boathouse, built c. 1915, was closely tied to both his public and private image as an avid sportsman and yachtsman. He won many local races in his prized catboat, the Olive Ann, and enjoyed

The right to vote is a shining example to the world of what democracy means and why it’s so important. Voting is one of the strongest, most direct ways we can affect change. It’s our chance to influence, inspire, make our voices heard, and hold our leaders accountable. But not too long ago, women were denied the right to vote.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New York State -- three years before the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

New York has long been a national leader in the advancement of women’s equality. The Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 -- the nation’s first to address women’s rights -was organized by leading suffragists Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott and set in motion a

decades-long push toward women’s suffrage. On Nov. 6, 1917, New York legalized women’s suffrage.

It wasn’t an easy journey, though.

Women were considered far from equal, with many anti-suffrage arguments focused on a woman’s supposed inability to think rationally, and some even declared that women didn’t have time to vote or think about politics because they were too busy taking care of the home.

But suffragists persevered nonetheless. They gave speeches in churches, convention halls, meeting houses, and on street corners and circulated countless petitions.

They also published newspapers, pamphlets, and magazines to get their message out.

Now, as we celebrate the centennial of women’s suffrage here in New York, we are not only reminded of what it took to get here, but also

how far we still must go to achieve full women’s equality.

Today, safeguarding women’s rights is more important than ever, and the Assembly Majority remains committed to doing just that.

Not only do we have a federal administration that’s threatening a woman’s right to keep her reproductive health care decisions between her and her doctor, but, unbelievably, women still earn less than men for equal work.

This year, the Assembly Majority passed two critical pieces of legislation to strengthen and protect women’s reproductive health rights. One measure affirms a woman’s right to choose and the other requires insurers to continue covering FDA-approved contraceptives at no cost to the consumer. The Assembly Majority also passed workplace protections including the New York State Fair

Pay Act to ensure pay equity among male and female workers and to ensure that jobs traditionally held by women are not undervalued.

A century after women’s suffrage was achieved in New York, our state remains a progressive leader on women’s issues and equality, recognizing that each and every person deserves to be treated with respect and fairness no matter their race, sex, creed, nationality or sexual orientation.

For the trailblazers that came before us, the activists that stand among us and the visionaries yet to come, may this anniversary serve as a spark for great strides forward in the march toward full women’s equality.

New Yorkers can celebrate women’s suffrage in a variety of ways, including attending workshops

OW-OOOH! It’s Almost Upon Us!

Compiled by Kitty Merrill

Children of the night, what music they make! Would-be Draculas and Frankenstein monsters, and all manner of ghouls and boys, traditionally don their costumes and head out for Halloween tricks and treats on October 31.

But in the move toward making Halloween an entire season, there’s lots of costume and pumpkin-filled fun on the horizon beginning as early as this week.

Southampton Arts Center, located at 25 Jobs Lane in the heart of Southampton Village, embraces the return of the Spooktacular Haunted House. Over the course of the last two weeks in October, the East End community will enjoy its very own Halloween frightfest inside the historic building.

Now in its fourth year, the Spooktacular Haunted House promises a horrifying, bloodcurdling, and entertaining experience. Created by Oscar Gonzalez, the attraction boasts seven rooms of terror featuring monsters under the bed, scary clowns, an evil butcher, zombies, a forest of skeletons, and more. Tickets are just $5 and can be purchased at the door.

Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Scaring will be kept light for the first hour for families with young children.

“Oscar Gonzalez and his team create a spine-tingling haunted house that the entire community will enjoy. We are also very pleased to keep the admission price at just $5, and to once again offer an opportunity for students to earn valuable community service hours as Scare Team volunteers.” said Southampton Arts Center board secretary Fairley Pilaro.

“The quirky and unusual feel extends out to our current exhibition, ODD BEAUTY: The Techno Eccentric World of Steampunk, curated by Art Donovan, which includes over 120 works from internationally renowned artists in the movement, and is one of the largest collections to date of artwork in this genre shown under one roof.” added

Southampton Arts Center director of programs Amy Kirwin. “It’s the perfect pairing for a simply spooktacular Halloween.”

The doors creak open Friday. Visit the website at www.scc-arts.org for hours of operation.

On Sunday, ARF hosts its annual Halloween Pawty. Join the Animal Rescue Fund for tricks and treats and see all the adoptable cats and dogs at the ARF Adoption Center at 124 Daniels Hole Road in Wainscott from 11 AM to 2 PM. Bring the whole family and your

pets, too, and take a walk along the haunted trails. Candy, games, and much more. More at www. arfhamptons.org.

Be sure to check back next week,

after we flesh out more events leading up to the big night. We’ll have a calendar for the kiddies and nightlife listings for adults who fancy getting fancy, or frightening, when the moon is full.

Providing Aid To Puerto Rico

Compiled by Kitty Merrill.

Stony Brook Southampton Hospital is joining Stony Brook Medicine and other local healthcare organizations in providing aid to Puerto Rico through Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Empire State Relief and Recovery Effort. Puerto Rico was battered by Hurricane Maria on September 20, leaving the majority of the island without power and communications. Roads are either washed out or blocked by debris, and supplies are running out.

A box has been placed in the main lobby of the hospital at 240 Meeting House Lane in Southampton to collect the following items: batteries, flashlights, portable lanterns,

diapers, baby wipes, cases of water, and feminine hygiene products. All donated items must be unopened and in their original packaging.

All supplies collected will be brought to an Empire State Relief and Recovery collection site every weekend. The effort began October 7.

Kent Animal Shelter in Calverton has been awarded an ASPCA grant of $32,500 to spay and neuter pets as part of a continuing campaign against pet homelessness in the region. The grant allows the shelter’s on-site clinic to provide spay/neuter surgeries for Long Island pets adopted from humane organizations and municipal shelters as well as pets that haven’t been fixed due to financial hardship of their owners.

Owners of cats and dogs that might be eligible are encouraged to call the Kent Animal Shelter at 631-727-5731 ext. 2 for more information and to make an appointment.

Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for puppies and kittens as young as eight to 10 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.

“It’s important to lend a hand to those who need it most,” said Steven Bernstein, chief

development officer at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and Southampton Hospital Foundation president. “We are willing to do whatever we can to help Puerto Rico recover from this devastating storm.”

Financial contributions can also be made. Checks can be made payable to Southampton Hospital Foundation with a note clarifying that it is for the Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief Fund. All checks should be mailed to the Foundation at 240 Meeting House Lane, Southampton, NY 11968.

Additionally, Stony Brook Medicine is rounding up medical

Constitutional Convention Hotly Debated

a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a better state government and a healthier democracy – one that prioritizes honesty and integrity over special interests and backroom dealings and makes voting in New York State easier and more accessible,” wrote Dick Dadey, the executive director of Citizens Union of the City of New York. “For the first time in 20 years, real solutions to end government corruption begin by voting ‘yes’ on Election Day to hold a constitutional convention.”

By Rick Murphy

Never before have so many disparate interest groups banded together for a common cause, at least not in this state.

But Proposition One, a vote this November on whether or not to hold a constitutional convention in New York State come 2019, has had that effect.

Consider this: The NRA, a number of gay groups, numerous environmental organizations, unions, and politicians from the far left to the far right are all opposed to hosting a convention. But it’s not up to them – voters will decide on Election Day. State Senator Ken LaValle is one opponent, and he doesn’t mince words as to why – it’s a waste of money, for one thing, and a waste of time, for another. “The last time we had one, nothing happened,” he said this week.

Costly is an understatement. The last convention took place in 1967 and cost taxpayers $47 million, LaValle said. The cost in today’s dollars would be $337 million.

“We elect delegates. We pay their salaries, and they hire staffers we pay for. It’s very costly,” LaValle said.

The matter comes before voters every 20 years. If they vote to stage a convention, it will be held in Albany. Voters will be asked to elect three delegates from each senatorial district in the state. An additional 15 at-large delegates will also be chosen. They will convene in Albany on April 2, 2019. If, during the convention, the delegates adopt

a new amendment or change an existing one, the matter will be put before the electorate on November 20. Voters will then decide to either adopt all of the proposed changes to the state constitution or none of them.

week. But what are they afraid of ?

Vulnerable

A convention would not be inclusive – “making it vulnerable to powerful special interests that do not stand for New Yorkers,” she added. There are proponents. Some say it “is the only way to clean up Albany,” according to Syracuse.com, which hosts a continual give-andtake blog about the relative values of the convention.

“Just look at the jockeying over whether New York should hold a convention to consider changes to the state constitution. Groups that could seldom stand to be in the same room with one another are working together to defeat the question known as Proposal One that goes to voters,” Tom Precious wrote in the Buffalo News last

“Abandoning our legislative process for a constitutional convention risks our rights,’’ said Robin Chappelle Golston, chief executive officer of the statewide Planned Parenthood group.

“This November, New Yorkers have

Kenneth Lovett, writing in his “Insider Albany” column in the NY Daily News, pointed out many women’s groups are lobbying to hold a constitutional convention.

Forward March New York, which formed after the Women’s March on Washington, is “fearful the US Supreme Court could overturn federal abortion protections,” wrote Lovett, and wants to strengthen abortion rights by means of a constitutional amendment.

“The only way to protect women’s rights in this state is to put the power back into their hands. You can do this by endorsing and fully supporting a ‘Yes’ vote for a constitutional convention when it appears on the electoral ballot this coming November,” the group wrote to Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose support of the convention process has been tepid. The group noted Cuomo’s father and former Governor Mario Cuomo supported constitutional conventions.

Two For East Hampton Town Supervisor expertise negotiating union contracts. “The only difference between negotiating and the grievance process is the lawyers make a tremendous amount of money.” Vilar agreed “there must be a mitigation of noise,” but is confident he can forge an agreement.

By Rick Murphy

Incumbent East Hampton Town Board member Peter Van Scoyoc, a Democrat, is seeking the town supervisor position vacated by Larry Cantwell, who is retiring.

Manny Vilar, a Springs Republican, is taking his first stab at local politics. Vilar sees that as a plus – the “establishment” versus a fresh face.

Vilar is the founding president of the Police Benevolent Association of New York State, the fifth biggest police union in the state, and a NYS park police sergeant for 33 years.

Van Scoyoc is a builder and a charter fisherman, though he has curtailed both activities since taking office six years ago. Both men say they are ready to work full time should they get elected.

The two are on the opposite sides of the fence on two key issues – East Hampton Airport and the proposed wind farm to be built off the coast of Montauk.

Under Van Scoyoc, the town is embarking on a lengthy process called a Part 161 with the Federal

Aviation Administration in an attempt to gain control of the East Hampton Airport and curtail noisy helicopter traffic.

“We’ve exhausted the judicial options. The path we are taking is in response to the FAA,” Van Scoyoc said during a debate at The Independent Thursday. The process is costly – about $2 million – and could conceivably result in the closure of the airport. “That’s within the realm of possibility,” Van Scoyoc acknowledged.

Vilar is adamantly opposed to

closing the airport under any circumstances. “In my view, public safety is the most important function of a municipality,” Vilar said. “I have consulted with Homeland Security. We must have aviation access. We must have an open, safe, viable airport.”

Van Scoyoc said the helicopter companies that funnel visitors to East Hampton at all hours are to blame. “They have no interest in negotiating. It’s a growing problem.”

Vilar said he would call on his

A reminder, this program is open to Town of East Hampton residents only, and will not accept waste materials from residents living outside the boundaries of the Town of East Hampton. East Hampton residents desiring to participate in this program are encouraged to bring their hazardous waste to the Montauk Transfer Station. Hazardous waste will not be accepted prior to this event.

This event is for residential use only.

Need additional Information?

Call the folks at the East Hampton Recycling Center at 324-7191 for further details.

The wind farm has drawn the ire of the fishing community for a number of reasons. The proposed site is a prime fishery for cod, the noise from the windmills could confuse migratory fish, and the underground cable running to the shore could damage the fragile ecosystem fish flourish in.

Van Scoyoc pointed out that the use of fossil fuel for power must be phased out. He said a wind farm in Rhode Island was planned carefully and is running well.

Vilar said the rush for wind power in New York State is political. “It all stems from the governor’s initiative to replace Indian Point [power plant].” He said “true empirical data gathered over years” proves the wind farms are dangerous to fish.

“The construction is detrimental to the ecosystem,” Vilar stated. He suggested instead land-based wind farms, solar panels, and microgeneration as alternate energy sources.

Van Scoyoc countered that those alternate sources wouldn’t provide a sufficient amount of electricity.

“The wind isn’t the same onshore,” he said. “There isn’t enough. And solar won’t meet our needs.”

The two candidates clashed on how quickly the town should act to replace aging septic systems. Van Scoyoc pointed out that the town will draw 20 percent of its CPF

More PFCs Found In Drinking Water

By Rick Murphy

This time it’s Wainscott.

Last year, Westhampton Beach and Yaphank. Then Hampton Bays. Now PFOA and PFOS have been found in drinking wells in Wainscott.

On October 11, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services confirmed perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) have been found in “some private wells” near East Hampton Airport.

One of the private wells had levels of PFOA and PFOS above the EPA’s lifetime health advisory level of 0.07 parts per billion.

The chemicals are commonly found in the fire suppressing foam firefighters use to fight engine fires, though only one fire of note was reported at the local airport in the past two decades. Some local residents said local fire departments did use airport grounds for training over the years and that foam was used.

Independent /Courtesy Suffolk DOH Residents who live in the area south of the East Hampton Airport will have their drinking wells tested for PFCs, though it is not certain if the airport is the source of the contaminants.

Zeldin Lambasts Former Official Over Iran Deal

By Rick Murphy

Congressman Lee Zeldin lambasted an official from the Obama administration who helped craft the Iran nuclear deal on October 11, echoing President Trump’s contention it was “the worst deal” in history.

The occasion was the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the deal. Zeldin, a member of the committee, was questioning Jake Sullivan, who served as a senior advisor to the US government for the Iran nuclear negotiations under President Obama.

The discussion grew tense when Sullivan attempted to defend the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or Iran nuclear deal, to the committee.

“The deal is built on verification,” Zeldin said, meaning hands-on inspections in Iran to ensure that nuclear weapons were not being built. “We’ve never had access to Iran’s sites. You’re blaming President Trump, but we never had access.”

Sullivan attempted to answer, but Zeldin, his voice rising, dropped a bombshell on the proceedings. “You have never read the verification proceeding, sir. None of our leaders read the agreement. Yet the deal is built on verification.”

Sullivan finally acknowledged he never actually read that portion of the JCPOA. The deal provides a reported $150 billion of relief from sanctions to Iran in return for its promise not to develop a nuclear weapons program.

“How much of that money went to terrorists?” Zeldin asked Sullivan pointedly. Sullivan did not reply.

“It’s a question that deserves an answer. The Obama administration provided money to Iran. Our sailors were held as hostages and Secretary of State John Kerry said `thank you’ to Iran.”

Zeldin said Iran has become emboldened as of late, now that the sanctions have been lifted and the economy is improving. “They call Israel ‘Little Satan’ and the US ‘Big Satan.’ We got ridiculously played at the table.” Trump is considering pulling out of the deal, though his latest remarks indicate he may stay put for the moment.

The committee hearing was titled, “Confronting the Full Range of Iranian Threats.” Zeldin released a statement urging President Trump to not recertify the JCPOA. Sullivan served as a senior policy advisor to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election campaign.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is an international agreement on the nuclear program of Iran signed in July 2015 between Iran, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States — plus Germany.

Under the agreement, Iran agreed to eliminate its stockpile of medium-enriched uranium, cut its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98 percent, and reduce by about two-thirds the number of its gas centrifuges for 13 years.

For the next 15 years, Iran will only

funds and use the money for that purpose. Vilar is in favor of tapping a federal fund that will allow homeowners to borrow money to replace their cesspools and pay the loans back over a 30-year period.

Van Scoyoc said he has proven track record. “We’ve done a really good job. We’ve returned civility [at board meetings]. We have open and frank discussions.” Van Scoyoc

The agreement provides that in return for verifiably abiding by its commitments, Iran will receive relief from nuclear-related economic sanctions.

Vilar said all is not rosy in the town, noting he has the PBA endorsement. He also said he would like proposed board resolutions to be better vetted before they are voted on, and that appointed boards going forward should have an equal number of members from both parties.

Reefer Madness

Members of the Southampton Town Police community response unit responded to Central Avenue in East Quogue on October 8 after receiving complaints of a possible marijuana growing operation.

The officers responded to the incident location and spoke to the resident Robert Kuroski, 50, regarding the matter. Kuroski consented to a search of the property, which revealed a large

amount of marijuana plants to the rear of the property behind the garage. In addition, a large amount of marijuana was hanging within a cargo shed located along the garage. Additional marijuana within multiple glass and plastic containers was also located in the garage.

An unspecified number of marijuana plants were seized and Kuroski was arrested and charged with criminal possession

of marijuana, 2nd degree, a felony, and unlawfully growing cannabis, a misdemeanor. Kuroski was transported to headquarters and held overnight. He was then taken to Southampton Justice and arraigned. He posted $1000 bail and awaits a court date.

The woman, 33, did not adequately feed the dog, a nine-year old female pitbull, and forced the animal to live in “substandard and unsanitary conditions with an

The “YEKTAI” exhibition traces the artistic legacy of patriarch Manoucher Yektai and his two sons, Darius, a painter and sculptor, and Niko, a furniture maker and sculptor. Manoucher’s life brought him through three cultures in the

three different countries of Iran, France, and the United States. His life in the arts influenced his sons.

The similarities and differences of their work and their visions will be examined. The show is curated by Guild Hall museum director and chief curator, Christina Mossaides Strassfield.

Pamela Topham was the winner of the 77th Annual Guild Hall Artist Members Exhibition in 2015. She was awarded top honors

Musings With Nanci LaGarenne

around for something affordable.

A positive of self-publishing is that one is not at the mercy of an agent’s taste and what the publishing houses think will sell. But on the other hand, we have to do all the work getting the manuscript into book form, very time-consuming, and then we have to market the books ourselves.

By Bridget LeRoy

If you ever offered up a tune at the popular karaoke nights at Montauk’s Liars Saloon, you probably already know Nanci LaGarenne, who hosted there for a dozen years. LaGarenne has lived on the East End fulltime for over two decades, but even before that she was working summers at Napeague Harbor and at the Buttery restaurant on Newtown Lane, in addition to being a child care coordinator at The Retreat and freelancing for Dan’s Papers and The Montauk Sun.

LaGarenne has self-published two books – Refuge and Cheap Fish – one based on the time she spent working at The Retreat and the other a roman a clef about Montauk.

Not only are both the subject matter and the author local, but LaGarenne also did not publish until she was over 50, proving that someone can reinvent themselves anytime.

LaGarenne and her husband, James, live in Montauk with their pot-bellied pig, Garth Brooks.

How did you get started? I had an idea for a first book in late 1999.

The story and the characters were in my head – three women and a few men in Lazy Point – totally fictional. But it was based on some issues I was struggling with in real life – love, relationship, betrayal.

There were lots of stops and starts, but eventually I had a manuscript, found an agent, and it was sent to a bunch of publishing houses.

Knopf rejected it, but Penguin called it “a quirky story, just not for us at the time.” I saved the rejection letters for a long time and then got on with it. That book, which I will publish one day, is called Promised Land.

What about the books you published? The second book I wrote was Refuge, in 2002.

Working at The Retreat, with the children during the day and the women residents at night, manning the hotlines too -- it’s lifealtering. Refuge is my heart book.

My passion is helping women and children survive abuse. It was a gift to my sisters. And to all women who survive or are in abusive 22

There’s no publicist. No advance.

And the royalties at the end of the day after laying out the money to get the books printed are almost non-existent. On top of that, there’s a stigma about self-published books. Some bookshops won’t carry them.

relationships.

It was easy to tell, but was emotional to write at times. But for me, the truth is paramount and I don’t mind delving into the dark places. It’s gritty, I don’t deny that.

Not exactly a light beach read. If it grabs you and makes you pay attention, I’ve succeeded.

Cheap Fish, a total 360, was born out of a possible karaoke novel I had started. I had such material!

But on a whim, after a fantastic little story told to me, I had to write instead the story about the floating brothel started by commercial fishermen and a barmaid. I needed a break from the intensity of Refuge.

Cheap Fish is a quick read, people have fun with it, and it was so fun writing it. I am asked a lot do a sequel. I would love to.

What kind of input did you have from loved ones or mentors?

The idea for Refuge came out of a story I promised my sister Lee that I would write – a validation of surviving childhood abuse.

Cheap Fish worked due to my source, a “salty” (commercial fisherman) from Montauk, who indulged me with his knowledge of the sea and all things commercial out there. He was honest and forthcoming and answered my questions, and I treasure the time we worked on it.

My husband is my technical support. He formats the book on the computer. In essence, he gets to read the story as he’s doing that. I couldn’t have done the self-publishing without him. He’s logical, I’m the dreamer.

My son is my reader and my sisters and a few close friends are always up to read some rough drafts too. I met a few other writers and authors who were quite supportive. I don’t do writing groups. Not my thing. I just write every day.

Both my sons are always encouraging me. And my daughter-in-loves are fans and my granddaughter of course, who is seven. Huge fan of books, and me, and vice versa. She and I are writing a children’s book now. She dictates and I type.

Did you have moments of doubt? I think all writers doubt themselves, at some stage. I just don’t let it get the better of me. I think that came with age. Self-confidence and not being afraid to put it out there. I didn’t write a book until I was in my 40s, and didn’t publish until I was 55.

Talk a little about the world of self-publishing, which has morphed so much in recent years.

What tips would you have for others? It’s great. You have to lay out the money first, so I shopped

Thankfully, the attitude is changing, with the big publishers producing less books a year and going with repeat bestselling authors, but the stigma is still there to a degree.

However, I would recommend self-publishing if you have a ready manuscript that’s been edited many times and people have read it and liked it.

Having a traditional publisher would take a lot of the grunt work away. I’d rather be writing. But marketing myself and delivering books and getting out there has taken me out of my comfort zone.

And I have learned how to sell books. I’ve seen the other side.

What has the local response been like? Cheap Fish has drawn some interesting remarks. Some people believe there is an actual brothel boat off Montauk. They also believe the characters, most of whom aren’t actual people, are indeed people they know. But that’s Montauk.

That’s fine with me, as long as they enjoy it. It was an homage to Liars and the fishermen, with love and fun thrown in. And murder, of course. It is a mystery, after all. Just like Montauk.

Refuge, on the other hand, is totally fictional. It has received a lot of thumbs up from women who said it validated what they suffered in abusive relationships and/or childhood sexual abuse. I am grateful and honored. It is the very reason I wrote it. The local bookshops have been fabulous and sold both my books. I’ve been fortunate.

Young Frankenstein at NFCT

Michael Hipp as Frederick Frankenstein and Matt Orr as Igor greatly enjoy Jenna Wolf’s bouncy “Roll in the Hay” as Inga in North Fork Community Theatre’s production of Young Frankenstein.

Young Frankenstein at Mattituck’s North Fork Community Theatre, is presented “in living black and white.”

By Bridget LeRoy

direction of Leslie McBride. But there are two noticeable standouts.

Jenna Wolf as Inga, with her beautiful yodeling voice and hysterical large-breasted costume (“What knockers!” “Why, thank you!”) is a pleasure to watch. And James Carey, who takes a part that is mostly nonverbal as the Monster, is hilarious. The audience thought so too, as sometimes lines were drowned in laughter from the crowd.

I have to admit it – I had never been to North Fork Community Theatre before last week. In fact, I had barely heard of it. But after seeing Mel Brooks’s Young Frankenstein the Musical put on “in living black and white” by an enthusiastic cast and crew in Mattituck, I will be back.

From the time the audience entered the former church, where NFCT has been staging its productions since 1962 (first shows were in 1957, but elsewhere), the gray interiors evoked an “old-movie” feel.

Brooks chose to direct the film of Young Frankenstein – which he often calls his greatest accomplishment – in black-andwhite like the old Universal original horror pictures. Bob Kaplan, who directed this production of YF, chose to follow that route. So the sets by Michele Messinger, costumes by Deanna Andres, and makeup by Sonomi Obinata are also only in black and white and shades of gray.

Kaplan said that to his recollection it was the only time that this has occurred, which is actually not the case (sorry, Bob). The 1970s Broadway production of Dracula, with astonishing sets and costumes

by Edward Gorey, accomplished the same – with a spot of red in each scene. I saw it at least a dozen times (back when Broadway tickets didn’t require a mortgage). It made an overnight sex symbol of the almost unknown Frank Langella – who, in the “small world” category, had

already appeared in Mel Brooks’s The 12 Chairs – but the film version which arose from that production of Dracula kept none of the campy qualities that were on the stage and was not nearly as good.

You don’t need to worry about that here. NFCT’s Young Frankenstein is all camp all the time, and has all of your favorite quotes from the movie plus original music by Brooks. The Broadway run of this production wasn’t all that successful after the over-the-top triumph of The Producers, but it has a continued life in theaters around the world, including a new production which just this week opened in London’s West End. For the handful of people out there who haven’t seen the film and don’t know the story – first of all, shame on you! The plot in a nutshell follows Frederick Frankenstein, a brilliant New York doctor in the 1930s, who returns to his Transylvanian roots after the death of his grandfather, the monsterbuilding Victor von Frankenstein.

There he meets a cast of colorful characters and realizes his destiny.

The production features Michael Hipp as the eponymous lead, Nancy DiGirolamo as his madcap heiress fiancée Elizabeth, Matt Orr as Igor (pronounced Eye-Gore), Laura Pearsall as Frau Blücher (nei-ei-ei-eigh!), Alan Stewart as Inspector Kemp, Kaplan as the Hermit, and Lon Irving Shomer as the elder von Frankenstein.

The entire ensemble is very good, really. Kudos also go to the musical

What the cast does well is really make the characters their own, which is hard in a production where most of the audience (okay, well – me) can speak along with every word. Hipp, Orr, and Pearsall, who are on stage most of the time, do an excellent job of bringing a new shading to well-uttered lines.

There is a perhaps overly-ambitious tap-dancing number. A line was flubbed here and there. The production is accompanied solely by

piano. But you know what? This is community theater, people! This is not one of the professional theaters on the East End, the kind where the actors have asterisks after their names. These are our friends and neighbors, the kind with fulltime jobs, taking time out of their busy schedules to do what they love to do – put themselves out there in front of a crowd to sing and dance and make us laugh. And I say, bravo NFCT!

There really isn’t a better way to bring on the spooky Halloween season than to visit the North Fork Community Theatre in Mattituck and introduce your family to a live version of Young Frankenstein. You’ll have a wonderful time, and you will be supporting live theater, which right now needs all the support it can get.Young Frankenstein the Musical runs through October 29.

Boeing Boeing At SCC

Remember Coffee, Tea, or Me? Or how about the word “stewardesses”?

Well, Center Stage at Southampton Cultural Center will bring you back to the time of mini-skirts and mayhem with its season opener, Boeing Boeing, which is, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the most performed French play in the world.

It’s the 1960s, and swinging bachelor Bernard couldn’t be happier: a flat in Paris and three gorgeous stewardesses all engaged to him without knowing about each other. But Bernard’s perfect life gets bumpy when his friend Robert comes to stay and a new and speedier Boeing jet throws off all of his carefully calculated planning.

Soon all three stewardesses are in town simultaneously, timid Robert is forgetting which lies to tell to whom, and hilarious chaos ensues.

“Boeing Boeing has presented challenges,” said veteran director Michael Disher. “But I guess that’s to be expected when one has more

working doors than actors.”

The revival of Boeing Boeing – which was originally written by Marc Camoletti and translated by Beverly Cross and Francis Evans

– has had many incarnations. The most recent turn on Broadway in 2008 earned the airplane comedy six Tony nominations, with it winning two – for actor Mark

Rylance and for Best Revival of a Play.

“I’ll be curious to see what flies,” Disher punned. “The possibilities defy altitude.”

Not all versions have been, well, airborne. The film version, with Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis, used the tag line “the big comedy of nineteen-sexty-sex.” It was not.

But now, everything old is new, and nostalgic, again. “And this piece will never be ‘set,’” Disher continued.

“Discovery in comedy is one of the richest treasure troves in acting.”

Lavender by the Bay, Lavender Farm: Visually beautiful, there really is no other place like it – the smell is just outstanding! The lavender blooms from late June into the fall so there is plenty of time to take in the amazing sights and smells. It is an unexpected gem!

The Candy Man: The Candy Man store is such an unexpected treat.

It is a simple roadside store that takes you back in time the moment you walk in. Every item is handwrapped with care. It reminds me

Reading Our Region

Come Home

With a mission to be “uniquely positioned to make the transition into such media as film and television,” Oceanview Publishing, whose owners have had a house in Amagansett for years, courts novels they see as not only suspenseful, authentic, and original, but evocative of place. In Pat Gussin’s latest thriller Come Home, they have another prospect, merging an exciting tale of domestic discord and kidnapping with the toppling of the Hosni Mubarak regime in Egypt in January 2011 during the abortive Arab Spring.

Chances are you’ll zip through and be continually surprised by the plot shifts. And learn something along the way about Egyptian culture and the Egyptian upper class, not to mention also picking up a lot of info on plastic surgery and drug testing.

The narrative, which spans only a month but covers ground, most of which the author knows --

Philadelphia, Giza, Cairo, Punta del Este, Monrovia -- introduces a diverse group of major players.

They include the protagonist, Dr. Nicole Nelson and her husband, Dr. Ahmed Masud, both eminent plastic surgeons; Ahmed’s wellconnected siblings abroad who own a privately-run cotton empire; Nicole’s highly successful twin, Dr. Natalie Nelson, who heads up a premier drug research company and is married to a real estate mogul on the brink of bankruptcy; and the Masuds’ five-year-old son, Alex, caught up in increasingly violent events.

There’s also an array of colorful secondary characters -- extended family members, Egyptian body guards, and special op forces with expertise in rendition. Halfway through, you’ll probably be casting the movie.

Pat Gussin, a physician, is an award-winning writer who knows how to craft an absorbing story. She’s done it before with series books and standalone thrillers. Come Home, her eighth work of fiction, shows her skill. She manages to skirt reader expectations and keep

631-287TOTS 631-287-TOTS

the plot moving. Some stylistic mannerisms do, however, show: interior thoughts in italics; short chapters that predictably break off to sustain suspense; repetitive themes -- “Men are not good at emotions.” Then there is the occasional convenient coincidence: Alex has been kidnapped, and at one point is taken to Liberia (not a spoiler alert), but Natalie’s husband just happens to remember that he knows someone high up in the Liberian Army who can assist.

Readers may also question the extent of outside info: “Elvis died of constipation,” Nicole’s mother, also a doctor, tells her daughter.

“Died on the toilet. He was a narcotic addict, and his physicians kept him supplied.” Or this detail about Roberts International Airport in Monrovia. No third world airstrip, it was built by the US government, “and had state of the art information technology and decent security.”

Though the medical lore may also at times seem a bit much, it does serve verisimilitude and reflect current events. For instance, Natalie is working on a promising cancer retardant drug, Zomera, that in post-approval trials is belatedly discovered (to stock holders’ horror) to prompt fatal rectal failure when taken with prescribed opioids. So, too, sections on plastic surgery that contain implicit criticism of older women trying to look young.

You can bet that when Nicole’s nightmare is over, she is going to take a different, more humanitarian professional course.

Though focused on privileged characters in 2011, Come Home resonates today as the immigration debate heats up and as post 9/11 suspicions about Arab American citizens appear in the media along with reports on tensions within

ethnic communities about culture and identity.

As the book opens, Archy, as he’s called by his wife and friends, is spending increasing amounts of time on the phone with the family patriarch back in Egypt. He should take charge, he is told, call himself Ahmed, his son Wati, and send him to an Islamic school. Most important Ahmed should “come home.” Anti-Mubarak protests are mounting, threatening the family business.

Resentful of his wife’s greater success, feeling anti-Arab sentiment in the malpractice lawsuits filed against him, and seeing his son’s sweet nature as the result of maternal coddling, Ahmed begins to succumb. Given that many terrorist attacks these days are the work not of illegal immigrants but citizens, Ahmed’s growing denigration of American ways is particularly compelling. Come Home is thus not only an engrossing cliff hanger but an instructive tale.

Old Dogs, New Trips

DESTINATION: WEDDING ON HIGHWAY 1 Independent/John Laudando A view of the Pacific Ocean from a beach south of Mendocino, California.

world of grand movies, it was pretty much as I’d imagined -- until we reached the indoor pool, which was utterly breathtaking. The famous Neptune Pool was being renovated, unfortunately, but the grounds were quite grand, and the view was irresistible. Easy to see why it’s built where it is, high up, overlooking the Pacific.

We did the grand rooms tour, and if you go early enough in the day, tickets are pretty easy to get.

We had a yummy lunch from their cafeteria and sat outdoors, where we were joined by a flock of audacious crows.

Newlyweds Sarah Codraro and Benjamin Latham following their wedding ceremony on a hilltop in Elk, California.

The Independent wishes to acknowledge the wildfires that are raging in parts of Northern California. Our hearts go out to our Western friends and family.

Our last column left us on California’s twisting, turning Highway 1 headed to a hilltop wedding in Elk, a bit south of Mendocino.

It is a road that is every bit as awe-inspiring as they say. And the wedding, set overlooking the majestic Pacific Coast, was pretty inspiring too. We had come to celebrate as East Hampton native Benjamin Latham married Sarah Codraro, originally from Maine -- the meant-for-each-other couple met when they were both students at Bates College.

Highway 1 was what we travelled

for much of our way north from Joshua Tree National Park, and we managed to take in quite a few sights. We took the ferry those famous 26 miles to Catalina Island, a fun, cozy spot for a weekend, with good food and good vibes.

Our best meal there was at Steve’s Steakhouse and Seafood, upstairs right across from the beach. And we savored happy-hour margaritas and nachos at Coyote Joe’s, facing the beach.

We’d intended to rent a golf cart to tour the rest of Catalina before leaving, but bad weather persuaded us to take an earlier ferry and head for our next destination: Hearst Castle.

As a California native, even I had never been there before, and my expectations were high. In today’s

After a quick stop with friends in San Francisco and a visit with relatives in Oroville, we headed for the coast and a rendezvous with other wedding guests at St. Orres, a favorite restaurant in Gualala that captivated us so much on a previous trip that we had gone there two nights in a row. Then we headed to

our Airbnb in Albion.

Next morning, we headed to Circa 62, at the Inn at Schoolhouse Creek in Little River. It calls itself “a pretty good breakfast spot” -talk about an understatement -- it was delicious! And we had a very fun visit to the upstairs bar at Flow, in the alluring town of Mendocino.

That night, more than 100 of us gathered at Cuffey’s Cove Ranch, on a windswept hillside, surrounded by panoramic views of the ocean for barbecue, spirits, and good spirits! The next day was the joyful wedding itself, where the wedding supper and dancing afterward took place in a huge barn filled with happy people. And a wonderful time was had by all!

Strong Island Is Island Strong

Island Strong All Day Long. More than a phrase or t-shirt, it’s actually the company motto of Island Strong, an online merchandise store that began selling products in 2015. Terrance Saporito, CEO and founder of the company, designed the popular logo during his college humor t-shirt business days; a filled-in outline of Long Island with the word “STRONG” boldly in the middle. However, it was his wife, Erica, who came up with the name Island Strong as a tribute to strengthen the community.

Saporito and partner, Brian Jones, who handles ecommerce and shipping, are Island natives that have been friends for almost two decades after first meeting in school at Connetquot. As business ideas were flowing, Saporito and Jones were introduced to local celebrity and UFC fighter Chris Wade, who is a jack-of-all-trades helping wherever possible.

“Chris’s ideas and goals aligned with ours so well it was a nobrainer. And just last year my long time mentor Al Carrabis joined us,” Saporito said. “Al is a very established business man who currently lives in Blue Point. He corralled us three in and started turning Island Strong into a welloiled machine. All of our friends and family have been so supportive and we really have built one huge family.”

In particular, Saporito pointed to the wonder women behind the business, Erica and Jones’s girlfriend, Mallory.

Two new lines of hats and beanies with the Island Strong and LOCAL designs are expected to come out later this month, as new creations pop up several times a year. Saporito primarily constructs everything himself, with the exception of a few fan creations that are submitted. In trying to keep with the idea of “shop local,” Royal Apparel in Hauppauge

much deeper,” said Saporito. “I’ve met so many incredible people over the last two years. I’ve realized that our communities are what make Long Island so unique. The friends we’ve made along this journey make Long Island so special to us,” Saporito passionately expressed.

“We’re inspired greatly by towns like Greenport and Sayville. We spend a lot of time there because of the hometown feel you get when you’re walking the street or talking to shop owners. Not to say that other towns don’t have that, it’s just where we are right now. I grew up going to beautiful places like the Arboretum and especially love the Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport.

We’re lucky to be close to so many incredible places. People around the country don’t have that luxury and I think we take it for granted.” sources some of the clothing, with much of it coming from within the United States. Currently, they are using East End Emblem in Ronkonkoma for their prints.

Fan favorite designs include the signature Island Strong logo, the Long Island mermaid, and the LOCAL logo. “The LOCAL logo is very simple but I feel it can be worn by any Long Islander. We have plans to expand further on this design,” Saporito acknowledged. As for who can be seen wearing it, “It is astonishing how many orders we get from out of state. When they leave Long Island, everyone wants to take a piece with them.”

Island Strong works with local charities on a consistent basis. With aims to better the community, they’re currently working with Room4Love, Boots on the Ground NY, and Save the Great South Bay, but the charities occasionally rotate.

At this time the company directs all donations to Island Harvest with an awareness that this is the “most crucial time for Long Islanders in

need.”

Yet, it’s Peconic Land Trust that hits home and is always in their hearts. “My mother Carol Isles who is on the board of directors for LINLA (Long Island Nursery & Landscape Association) and LIFB (Long Island Farm Bureau) mentioned Peconic Land Trust to me and we fell in love with what they represent and their goals for Long Island,” Saporito said. All of this led to the creation of the Loyal to the Soil logo.

Now fans of Loyal to the Soil can sip beer while wearing their favorite shirt. Being released later this fall is a new Loyal to the Soil wheat beer in collaboration with Jamesport Farm Brewery. Saporito expressed his excitement. “Them being a farm brewery and growing 90 percent of their own ingredients, it’s only fitting. Myself and Brian love Long Island craft beer, so this is a dream come true.”

Beyond giving back, “my appreciation for Long Island goes

Island Strong emphasizes that their company buildup has been in large part through Instagram. Dozens of local photographers tag the account in an almost symbiotic relationship to spread brand awareness. Island Strong can also be found at local festivals where people can meet the team behind their favorite social media posts. “No social media platform will get your message across better than a conversation,” Saporito said.

In addition to selling merchandise online and in a select variety of small businesses, including Riverhead’s Taste the East End Boutique, Island Strong will be opening their first brick-andmortar location in summer of 2018, filled with a plethora of Long Island products.

Barbara Borsack, one of the chairpersons involved with the event and an East Hampton resident, underwent breast cancer treatment in 2009 and completed in 2010. Upon realizing that all services were done in Southampton she decided to start an event in her local area. Through a simple Facebook post in 2011 an idea was started.

“I posted ‘I would like to start a cancer fundraiser in East Hampton.

Would anyone be interested in joining me?’ And I immediately had a committee,” Borsack remembered.

“All of these people volunteered to help.”

The group began getting together in 2011 and every year the money is split three ways, all of which hold a special place in one of the organizers’ hearts, which has grown to giving over $10,000 to each individual charity.

“We have no formal organization.

We’re just a group of friends who get together. And they’re just amazing women. We start meeting in May and pick a date, and then we get together in June and July. We meet maybe five or six times before the event. The rest is everyone going out into the community and gathering prizes, selling tickets,” Borsack said.

Guest Worthy Recipe: Josh Tanner

By Zachary Weiss

Who: Josh Tanner, chef and partner of New York Prime Beef INSTAGRAM: @NewYorkPrimeBeef CHEF TANNER’s GUEST WORTHY RECIPE: Filet Chateaubriand WHY? New York Prime Beef tenderloin is the ultimate showstopper for a fall supper, and the best part is that you can throw it in the oven and be free to entertain guests. The meat is USDA Prime Filet Chateaubriand which is guaranteed to be meltingly tender, moist, and flavorful. Whether as a tied roast, or on the grill for a special fall gathering, the Filet Chateaubriand is sure to make a lasting impression and, even better, guarantees sandwiches for days after.

INGREDIENTS 5 lbs Chateaubriand Olive Oil

Salt & pepper Rosemary Potatoes

Fall vegetables (parsnip, turnips, carrots) DIRECTIONS Preheat your oven to 500°F. The high temperature helps develop the caramelized appearance and flavor on the outside of the meat.

Make a simple seasoning rub of

freshly cracked black pepper and kosher salt. Rub all over roast.

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. Roast uncovered for the first 15 minutes, then turn it down to 350° and let it roast until desired internal temperature is reached. To help you plan, it will be roughly 14 minutes per pound for rare; roughly 17 for medium rare; and roughly 19 for medium. Again, these times are approximate and your best weapon is a meat thermometer. Go by temperature, not time.

Arrange the peeled baby potatoes in the pan alongside any fall vegetables of your choice. We like parsnips, turnips, and carrots as they soak up all the delicious meat juices and turn caramelized in a high heat.

18 Park Place East Hampton 324-5400 Breakfast - Lunch - Dinner Take Out Orders 40

Tent the roast with foil and let it rest at least 15 minutes. It will continue to cook during this time, allowing juices to permeate the meat. Once the temperature comes back down to 120°F, it’s ready to carve and serve.

Navy Beach Raises The Bar

By Nicole Teitler

Montauk’s Navy Beach completed a successful fifth season of philanthropic efforts for the Navy SEAL Foundation, $35,000 to be exact. This number comes as no surprise with the array of endeavors, including a “dine and donate” program during the summer season where all lunch and dinner checks collect $1 per meal, and an anticipated kick-off event held in June.

“Each year we host a kickoff event – a beachside cocktail party – where guests, SEAL team members, and families gather in support. We were fortunate enough to raise over $10,000 on this day,” said Frank Davis, Navy Beach co-owner.

This year former US Navy SEAL Mike Zapata and Marc Wolf, director of development of the New York region for the Foundation, expressed their sentiments at the event.

Wholesale 725-9087 Retail 725-9004

The numbers are only part of the overall $125,000 Navy Beach has raised for the not-for-profit organization which provides ongoing support to the Naval Special Welfare community. As a former base location during World War II, this specific location holds a special attachment to the Navy and the SEALs.

“Amazing local veterans have and continue to visit us and share their honorable stories of their service and some include their memories of our location when it was an active base,” Davis said. “We are very fortunate. My partner Franklin’s parents were both in the Navy.

Both served as Naval officers in the Vietnam war where they met.

My brother was a member of the special forces, 82nd Airborne Rangers.”

During the off-season Davis maintains a year-round relationship with the Foundation As an active

ambassador he merited an invite to join the host committee at the annual Navy Seal Foundation gala in Manhattan every spring, and which raised over $12 million in 2016. “I believe no organization is better at putting these raised dollars to work. We are lucky to be involved,” Davis said.

Next year’s 2018 season is already in the works. The annual kickoff event is scheduled for June 16 (mark your calendars), with even more SEAL members involved. In addition, Navy Beach is planning to have cadets enter the BUD/S class

(Basic Underwater Demolition/ SEAL) since the location is right on the water. This class is expected to have local East Coast team member families involved, both past and present, and Gold Star Families (those who have lost loved ones in the Armed Forces).

Navy Beach is located at 16 Navy Road in Montauk and can be found www.navybeach.com or reached at 631-668-6868.

Recipe of the Week

by Joe Cipro

Roasted Spaghetti Squash & Brussel Sprouts With Herbed Butter Sauce Ingredients (serves 4) 1 large spaghetti squash 1 lb Brussels sprouts

1 clove of garlic sliced thin 1/4 c olive oil 1/4 lb butter

1/4 c chicken stock

1 Tbsp of thyme (picked)

1 Tbsp tarragon (picked & chopped) 1 Tbsp chervil (chopped) Salt and pepper to taste

Directions Start by washing the outside of the spaghetti squash. Split it lengthwise down the middle, scrape out the seeds, and place the squash on a sheet tray with the skin side down.

Roast in the oven at 400 degrees for one hour.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and quarter your Brussels sprouts. Cook the Brussels sprouts in the boiling water for about two minutes. Immediately place in an ice bath to cool them down. Strain Japanese RestauRant and sushi BaR

achieved a sauce-like consistency set the sauce aside until later. When the spaghetti squash is finished roasting, fork out the tender roasted flesh part of the squash.

Heat two pans over medium heat and add the olive oil evenly. Begin sautÊing the garlic in each pan. The squash will go in one pan and the Brussels sprouts in the other. Cut side down for the Brussels sprouts to create a nice sear. Brown each of the vegetables and season to your liking. At this point you are ready to warm the butter sauce and add the herbs to the sauce. Don’t heat it too high or you will break the sauce.

Plate the vegetables and ladle a bit of sauce over the top and enjoy.

Real Estate News Analyzing the Hamptons market, T&C reported, “The $10-$20M price range found its groove again,” sounding a collective “whew” that reverberated throughout the industry.

Sales in that segment are up 133 percent over the third quarter figures from 2016, and that’s a good thing. Curiously, Desiderio notes, six of the seven sales in the $10-20 million range were in the Bridgehampton market, which includes Water Mill and Sagaponack. “A dazzling statistical fact; sales in the Bridgehampton area accounted for over two percent of the home sales in the entire region,” she observed.

There were two $20 million-plus sales in East Hampton Village.

It posted the highest median home sales price at $4,437,500.

Impressive, yet 15 percent less than last year’s at $5 million.

The Sag Harbor market, which

october 18

2017

includes Noyac and North Haven, had a quiet three months, according to the Town and Country report.

Sales were down 30 percent and volume dipped a whopping 60 percent over the same quarter a year earlier. The lack of higher-end sales is seen as the main culprit.

There is more and more data that suggests the need for affordable housing is overwhelming. Sales under $500K went down -- there simply are few to none.

In closing, the third quarter was a healthy quarter for the Hamptons residential market.

There were approximately eight percent increases in all three criteria monitored -- number of sales, price per sale, and median price.

In contrast the North Fork market was steady. Total home sales increased 15 percent; median home sales price rose 23 percent, and the median was up 22 percent.

Local Boy Makes Good

We’re proud and pleased as punch this week to tell the story of East End resident Billy Finn as he makes his dreams come true on stage.

We must admit to a smidgen of nepotism here – Billy’s a member of Indy’s extended family. His mom Lisa, now an editor for Patch, was a reporter for The Independent a few years back.

While we take our obligation to present local news seriously, the chance to report the successes of our local young people is a joy. Telling the stories of our youth – their community efforts and achievements – is a cornerstone of our newspaper. That’s why we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome back award-winning photographer Gordon Grant, whose extraordinary shots of local sports and news events graced Indy’s pages 25 years ago when we first started.

To repeat, we do just love kvelling about East End kids, so be sure to help us out by letting us know of your sons’ or daughters’ achievements and efforts. Hit us up at news@indyeastend.com.

And -- and this is an exciting and – don’t forget to grab up a copy of next week’s Boo! Short and Scary contest edition. It’s a spooky and sensational annual effort and a labor of love for us to present the best stories and art by our local school children. Thanks to our sponsor Bridgehampton National Bank for helping us on this ghoulish quest.

Trustee Endorsement Dear Editor,

I write to endorse Susan Vorpahl and the other eight candidates running on the Republican and Conservative lines for East Hampton Town Trustees. Susan exemplifies the best tradition of the Trustees and it is why I am singling her out from this extraordinarily experienced group of trustee candidates.

Susan Vorpahl is the daughter of East Hampton legend, the late Stuart B. Vorpahl Jr., and the most awesome Mary Vorpahl.

Stuart Vorpahl was a commercial fisherman and past East Hampton Town Trustee. Being a Vorpahl,

Susan has a breadth of knowledge and profound respect for East Hampton’s waters and what it takes to provide for one’s family in this dangerous and unpredictable profession. With a love of this land we call East Hampton, Susan will continue the traditions her dad helped keep sacred furthering the historical importance of the East Hampton Town Trustees and the 1686 Dongan Patent.

Joining Susan is an incredible group of professionals including Joe Bloecker, former trustee and holder of a sea captain’s license; Gary Cobb, president of the Save Our Baymen’s Association; Julie Evans,

BLOCKED BEACHES Dear Editor,

Well, another delightful summer in the Hamptons is pretty much behind us. A little cooler and wetter than usual perhaps, but still delightful.

Our vast and beautiful beaches are a large part of that delight.

With one caveat. With increasing frequency, some selfish and shortsighted people among us are trying to reverse our centuries-old tradition of pretty much unfettered access for one and all to those beaches. CfAR (Citizens for Access Rights) has pointed out that this trend is a growing problem -deeded roads and other accesses blocked with berms, signs, etc.

Unfortunately this trend has been aided and abetted by two town board members running for office this year. Mr. [Peter] Von Scoyoc and Mrs. [Kathee ] BurkeGonzalez both claim to be in favor of public access to our beaches in their campaign literature. Yet both voted to forbid a mere 15 or so parking spaces on the unused eastern side of Dolphin Drive.

This is the only feasible parking for access to the South Flora Preserve Beach, a 37-acre piece which was purchased with $8 million of public funds “for use as a public beach.”

JUST ASKING

By Karen Fredericks

Were you surprised by the news about Harvey Weinstein?

Mary McPartland It’s terrible. But in the eighties the “casting couch” was thought of as the “price of entry.”

This went back to the 1920’s. William Randolph Hearst was famous for it. But this shows how much our society has changed. Now, it’s finally acceptable to talk about it. So this is real progress.

Mark Roeloff It’s such a shame but I think that kind of thing happens all the time. And it wouldn’t surprise me at all to start hearing about other people who’ve done the same thing. Especially now that Weinstein is in the news.

Franny Moy What surprised me the most was that clearly people, and lots of people, have known about this for years. But hey, this has been going on forever in Hollywood, so I find myself wondering, why now? It’s a good thing it’s come out. But what took so long?

Lee Silverman The guy’s a creep. But you can only assume there will be lots more of this kind of news coming out about other men in Hollywood that do stuff like this. There must be a lot of nervous guys out there in L.A. right now.

The only other parking is a tiny lot over three football fields away, often filled with the vehicles of nearby residents and their guests.

They have also allowed the owners of another oceanfront property, the Beach Plum, to begin marketing their lots even though they have not fulfilled a key provision of their subdivision approval. They were supposed to deed over to the town three parcels, one of which runs the length of the oceanfront across the top of the dune. They have not done so, and our current town board seems not to care. And the current Democrat majority on the board of trustees has said nothing about this or about parking at South Flora.

So which is it? Are Peter and Kathee and the Democrat trustee candidates really in favor of public access, or do they seek to create private enclaves for the entitled few? If you think I’m exaggerating, rentals in the EEDRA subdivision next to South Flora are often advertised for rent as having “a virtually private beach.”

The Republican candidates for town board and for trustee stand

squarely behind our long tradition of freedom of access for all. Where do Peter and Kathee and the Democrat trustee candidates stand?

Reg Cornelia

Chair, EH Republican Committee.

Baseless Assumption Dear Editor,

With due respect to the editorial published in The Independent on 10/11/17 entitled “Yes To The Hills,” it appears The Independent believes Southampton Town Board members Julie Lofstad and John Bouvier have assumed that Discovery Land (the developer of The Hills) will abandon the site and sell it to the town if the PDD is rejected. As pointed out in the editorial, this assumption has no basis in fact.

Because the assumption has no basis, it’s safe to assume Ms. Lofstad and Mr. Bouvier have other reasons for being skeptical of The Hills PDD. As is often the case in court trials, opposing lawyers hire “expert witnesses” with Continued On Page 59.

Riverhead School District The artwork of four Riverhead High School students has been selected to be showcased at the Peconic Ballet Foundation’s Art Barre event on Saturday at 71 East Main St. in Riverhead. The students, freshman Katherine Marroquin Gonzalez and juniors Devyn Bishop, Olivia Bozuhoski, and Kelly Valencia, each have one or more unique pieces on display for the event.

Bishop’s work includes a still life drawing, a self-portrait, a dog portrait, and a portrait titled Brandon. Her pieces are done in graphite, charcoal, and watercolor, and were selected because they “articulate a unique style and visual voice.”

Bozuhoski’s pieces include a still life painting, a pencil drawing titled Observation, a pastel drawing called Hushed, and a marker drawing called Animated Koi. The pieces were chosen to be featured because “they demonstrate a mature, technical skill.”

Gonzalez’s piece, called No Boundaries, depicts a boat in pencil and black marker was picked because it demonstrates a natural ability. Valencia’s piece, At Peace,

portrays an owl in black marker. It was selected because it shows the artist’s desire to improve herself.

EWECC The Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center will join the East Hampton community at the first annual fall festival in Herrick Park on Saturday organized by the East Hampton Chamber of Commerce.

Teachers from the center will organize and lead a costume parade at noon. At the center’s booth, children will have an opportunity to make costume elements on the spot to wear in the parade. The festival will also feature arts and crafts, science exploration, and play activities for kids.

Erin Albanese took her class on a walking trip to the East Hampton Library where the children met the librarian and explored the children’s room. The pre-K groups learned about some of our community helpers when an East Hampton Village ambulance visited the center, allowing the children a chance to climb on and look around. A patriotic parade at the center earlier this month had children waving American flags they had made while marching to patriotic music. From their play deck, the toddlers looked

East Hampton High School The EHHS music department is proud to congratulate three students who have been chosen for year’s NYSSMA All-State Ensembles.

Julia Short (senior) and Talia Albukrek (junior) will be singing in the Mixed Choir, and Anthony Genovesi (junior) was selected as an alternate percussionist for the Instrumental Jazz Ensemble.

These students were selected out of nearly 2500 students who earned exception scores at the NYSSMA Solo Festival. They will be travelling to Rochester at the end of November to perform at the NYSSMA Winter Conference. The performances take place throughout the duration of the conference, and more details can be found at www. nyssma.org/2017-nyssma-winterconference/.

Hampton Bays School District To do their part to help improve local waterways, Hampton Bays High School science research students volunteered to seed 62,000

clams into Shinnecock Bay. The initiative, which connects learning to the local environment, was conducted in collaboration with the Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program. The program was established in 2012 to restore the water quality in the bay through a variety of partnerships.

This is the fourth time that Hampton Bays High School science research teacher Dr. Stephanie Forsberg has involved her students in the restoration program. Last year, approximately 40,000 clams were seeded into the bay by her students.

Tuckahoe School District Students in Jean Dodici and Antoinette Counihan’s secondgrade classes have been studying communities and the characteristics of the three types of communities -urban, suburban, and rural. Students created projects to represent a type of community. Beautifully-crafted dioramas and posters were presented to parents after Friday morning assembly.

are on board for a convention, the Buffalo News reports. “Antiabortion activists fear that an expansion of abortion laws – presently just proposed legislation that Planned Parenthood supports – could be placed into the state’s constitution,” according to a recent article. “Abandoning our legislative process for a constitutional convention risks our rights,’’ said Golston.

LaValle agreed. “The system we have now allows the people to bring before their legislators any issue they may have,” he said. “We have a methodology in place now to put items on the ballot.” LaValle said that is why most unions oppose it. “They are afraid of all sorts of things. They are afraid it could affect their pensions,” he surmised.

Opponents of gun control also worry that the convention could bring with it unwanted reform.

Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, said, “I think we have more of a chance of losing rights than gaining anything.’’

A Siena College poll last week gave

opponents mixed news. Support for Proposal One its at 44 percent but has been steadily dropping. Most of those opposed cited the cost as a central reason.

and film, and played in small roles through his death in 1953.

Though the other homes he was associated with at the height of his career have been lost, and changes to the estate have impacted its integrity, the boathouse remains much as it did during Farnum’s ownership through the care of the Hedeman family. The boathouse featured a lower level for boat storage and an upstairs lounge and trophy room where Farnum hosted summer and Christmas parties. It is one of three structures that remain in its historic location of the former estate, along with the chicken house and barn.

The Federal-style Ellis Squires House is historically significant for its architectural design that represents its post-Revolutionary construction period. The two-story, gable-roofed home was built circa 1790 and has a wealth of exterior and interior fabric dating from

october 18

its late 18th-century construction period. It is the oldest surviving dwelling in Hampton Bays.

The house is significant for both its architectural design and construction technology which are expressive of both the vernacular Federal style as well as the form and massing typical of a Long Island half-house of the late 18th century.

Built in the immediate aftermath of the American Revolution, the house is additionally notable for its construction during a period which saw little of that as communities recovered from the effects of war and occupation.

Ellis and Jerusha Squires’ family, which grew to seven children between 1792 and 1812, established a network of descendants and community in the area which became known as Squiretown.

The building retains long shingles and a stone foundation typical of 18th-century construction and a vernacular, side-hall half-house plan as well as more fine details like its decorative front door surround, which incorporates sidelights and reeded pilasters beneath a molded entablature. Federal details also remain in the parlor, which retains a historic mantelpiece, cupboard, and wood paneling. Wide pine floorboards and board and batten doors with wrought iron hardware

remain throughout. While the rear kitchen was updated in the 20th century, it retains exposed beams with 1/4” quirked beads typical of 18th-century construction.

The Town of Southampton owned the vacant building for many years, and it was recently purchased from the town by Peconic Historic Preservation, which plans to restore the building.

The State and National Registers are the official lists of buildings, structures, districts, landscapes, objects, and sites significant in the history, architecture, archeology, and culture of New York State and the nation. There are more than 120,000 historic buildings, structures, and sites throughout the state listed on the National Register of Historic Places, individually or as components of historic districts.

Property owners, municipalities, and organizations from communities throughout the state sponsored the nominations.

State and National Register listings can assist property owners in revitalizing buildings, making them eligible for various public preservation programs and services, such as matching state grants and state and federal historic rehabilitation tax credits.

Memory Care Community Honored

Care Specialists, offers innovative resources and training opportunities specific to providing safe and purposeful dementia care.

Compiled by Kitty Merrill

Harbor South for memory support at Peconic Landing in Greenport – the East End’s first memory care neighborhood – has been recognized among the nation’s leading providers of personcentered memory care by Dementia Care Specialists and the Crisis Prevention Institute.

The continuing care retirement community is the first provider in New York to receive CPI’s Distinguished Provider Award, recognizing its commitment to providing standards-driven, personcentered care for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The award was presented to the community in an afternoon ceremony on September 18.

“The Harbor South team is amazingly dedicated. They understand the importance of educating all of their staff, and they work hard to fine tune those

To receive the award, the leadership and staff of Harbor South engaged in a five-month preparation and assessment period, followed by a two-day audit of life in the neighborhood to review the organization’s approaches when working with members with dementia.

skills until they are mastered,” said Sharon Jackson, senior consultant with CPI’s Dementia Care Specialists. “They are organized and efficient and ensure they are communicating with each other, their members, and the members’ families. They do this because this is

what they love.”

The Crisis Prevention Institute is an international training organization committed to best practices and safe behavior management methods to enrich the lives of the individuals they serve, according to its website.

Its dementia care sector, Dementia

“Dementia changes the way you live and the way you perceive things. As providers, we must get into their world and communicate with them in a way that they can understand – and each individual’s world may be different,” said Jennifer Ackroyd, Peconic Landing’s assisted living administrator. “How you approach and communicate with each individual is key in helping them find purpose and engaging them to live each day to the best of their ability.”

The community offers memory support at the assisted living level, following a person-centered care model that integrates each individual’s life-story with their level of ability at every stage of dementia. This allows for a truly personalized care plan, said Gregory J. Garrett, EVP/administrator of health services for Peconic Landing.

631-864-5575 631-864-5575

“It is amazing to see the transformations that are taking place. Our members are more alert, engaged, and making the most of life with their neighbors,” Garrett said. “This approach is changing the lives of those living with dementia, and we see it every day. Our care team does a remarkable job of connecting with our members, and we are committed to exploring new ways of enhancing life for the members of Harbor South.”

Peconic Landing’s 12,000-squarefoot, $9 million memory support neighborhood opened in May 2016, offering private accommodations and community spaces for 16 individuals living with Alzheimer’s

Gone!

Experience Gone, a multimedia investigation into the 1966 disappearance of Cutchogue’s Louise Pietrewicz. Mrs. Pietrewicz, a 38-year-old mother from Cutchogue, was in the process of separating from her husband when she was reported missing in October 1966. Multiple police agencies were involved in the investigation, but an arrest was never made. No media outlet has ever reported her disappearance, but elements of her story have been quietly discussed in her Cutchogue community for decades. This threepart documentary will be followed by a question-and-answer session with The Suffolk Times staffers

and special guests connected to the story. Tonight at 7:30 PM at Peconic Landing in Greenport.

Registration required at https:// peconiclanding.ticketleap.com/ Run For Ridley The Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation will be holding its 20th annual 5K Run for the Ridley.

Riverhead High School’s annual spirit week celebrations culminated this weekend as the Blue Waves took on the Copiague Eagles on a drizzly Saturday afternoon. Despite the rain, school spirit filled the stands as the varsity, junior varsity, and middle school cheerleaders led the crowd in multiple cheers.

At half time, the varsity cheerleaders treated the crowd to a performance and the 2017 royal court was introduced.

He is known by all as a “good man,” “a kind soul,” a “solid friend,” and was a beloved family member.

Billy’s family felt he led with the torch, and was a solid grounding strength who cared deeply about all his family, immediate and extended.

After retiring from the Town of East Hampton Highway Department, in addition to taking his fishing poles to the waters, Havens also continued to enjoy spending time on the bays clamming and scalloping, never giving away his secrets, always with a grin on his face, keeping those “special spots” to himself. Not only did he know where to find the most clams and scallops, he also kept secret where he found the best local wild raspberries and blackberries.

Billy didn’t spend all his free time on the water, he also enjoyed supporting Rebecca’s passion for equestrian competitions and was her biggest fan. NASCAR races, attending the local races at Riverhead Raceway, and traveling all over Long Island to attend car

shows were all favorite activities he shared with family and friends.

Billy was a frequent user of social media and was the co-founder and administrator of the local and very popular Facebook group Hometown Bonac Connected Friends. For years Billy’s multitude of Facebook friends enjoyed the sunrise, sunset, and his mouthwatering culinary talent photos; photos that everyone became accustomed to seeing and looked forward to daily. Billy knew everyone in town it seemed, in every profession, every side of the bridges, and he cared for them equally. Every friendship was so important to him, it didn’t matter how often he saw you, you remained special to him.

Billy seemed to be the local expert on the fishing industry history on the East End. He shared his vast knowledge and photos and always seemed passionate in his discussions about the fishing industry, his friends, family, politics, and the changing way of life on the East End. Billy Havens, to some, may have been known by a nickname, such as Wig or Bonacker Bill, but he

Schneiderman never prepared a forensic investigation into three horse farm PDDs located directly across the street from the proposed Hills PDD. An analysis of these PDDs is important because the same people involved in the creation of the horse farm PDDs are also involved in The Hills PDD. In fact, The Hills consultants did undertake an in-depth analysis.

I did as well. As a result, I know every land purchase, every real estate transfer, and every financial transaction associated with every parcel on all three PDDs. Therefore The Hills consultants and I know the extent to which the PDDs harmed taxpayers, the environment, and the business of horse farming.

That’s why the developers of The Hills rejected horse farming as an alternative to a golf course.

A great deal of confusion has always surrounded the creation of these horse farm PDDs because of proven questionable ethics. Going forward, PDDs can no longer be used. But that doesn’t change the flaws that still exist and that can still be incorporated into any PDD like The Hills.

Fork resident, recalled. “When my son was born, I wanted to share the magic with him. I took him to see Beauty and the Beast when he was about three years old, and he watched wide-eyed with wonder.

“Later we saw an Off-Broadway production of Mame and afterward, while the young actor signed his Playbill, my son told me he wanted to do the same, be on the stage and if that young boy could do it, so could he.”

Finn came to the Orbach this week well-acquainted with the theater -- from the audience side. “I’ve been to the Jerry Orbach Theater three times to see The Fantasticks.

To perform on that stage is so, so strange and amazing,” he said.

There isn’t a lot of time for the young actor – one of the youngest in the troupe -- to reflect on his feelings. The cast performs two shows a day on the weekends and every night. Members of the cast are called upon to be ready to perform any of the roles, switching out with troupe mates at

a moment’s notice. Finn’s played six of the show’s 10 male characters.

He knows all the rest. The beleaguered Jon Snow is a role he’s yet to do. “I haven’t done Tyrion (Lannister) or Jon for an audience yet, unless you count my mirror,” he joked. With performances planned through the end of the month at least, Finn’s likely to have a shot at the parts.

And after Manhattan, what’s next?

“I’m up for a role in Japan for at least a year,” he informed. He’s on the short list to perform in a Wizarding World “charm show.”

It will be “a fun challenge,” the actor opined. “They’re not teaching us Japanese.” Casting directors tasked auditioners with learning the language as part of the tryout.

“They wanted to see if we could learn this random line from one of the Harry Potter movies in Japanese and come back with it.”

Finn will find out next month if he’s landed the part and heading overseas. In the meantime, he’s enjoying performing in the parody with his theater “family.”

“That we can call this our job, being on stage making people laugh and

getting paid to do that, it’s crazy,” he enthused.

Looking to the future, his dream is to be a voiceover artist in an animated film “That would be my ultimate,” the WBHS alum admitted, noting that so many animated films from his childhood inspired him, as did Saturday’s audience filled with friends, family members, and of course, his mother.

“Watching his GOT: The Rock Musical journey has been the proudest and happiest moment as a mom. I know somewhere my mother and grandmother are cheering!” Lisa said. In turn, her son offered a huge shout-out to his mom: “She’s been the constant force that pushes me forward whenever I second guess, doubt, or am unsure of myself. I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for her always having my back, helping me with opportunities to further my craft, and her never-ending love and support.”

“I know this is the first of many opening nights for Billy,” Lisa added. As her son’s career blossoms, she predicted, “He’ll be signing many Playbills in his life.”

and almost serendipitously, it is discovered as a contaminant virtually everywhere. And as is often the case in these stories, the company producing PFOS products possessed information hinting at its risks but chose not to share their data with regulators or the public for years.”

The SCDHS looks to do more samples of private wells in areas near the airport, Town Line Road to the west, Montauk Highway toward Merriwood Drive to the south, and by Daniel’s Hole Road to the east.

Homeowners willing to have their wells tested will not be charged.

Homes furnished with public water are not affected.

One source said the contaminated well was found on Hedges Lane south of the airport and north of Montauk Highway.

electrical violation that resulted in four days without power for tenants in the 18 units, some of which, he said, were overcrowded. The owner has pending charges already and will be issued additional summonses to be included among them.

At another motel on North Road, inspectors found an alleged 72 tenants in the 18 rooms they visited – the hotel has 20 in all. No notices of violation were issued, and the owner is engaging code enforcement to come into compliance, Troyd said.

He predicted a walk-through of the property to review the overcrowding.

An earlier enforcement action led to an overall amelioration of conditions at the motel, Troyd said, noting the improvement of a poor septic condition.

Friday wasn’t such a lucky day for the owners of a motel on East Montauk Highway. The enforcement team executed a search warrant on the premises, which accommodates three motel buildings and a carriage house. It has 13 rental units each designed to house two occupants. Some of them had up to six people living in them and others were home to four people. Kitchens had been converted into bedrooms, the administrator said, and people were living in the carriage house top floor where living space was not legal.

Additional violations relate to oil tanks designed for interior use only operating outdoors, stairs to a deck with no supports, two projects constructed without permits, and more.

Asked whether tenants in the overcrowded premises will face eviction, and possible homelessness, Schneiderman demurred. The operation was conducted “with the highest respect for human dignity, that was front and center,” he said.

He admitted the enforcement actions could result in evictions, and said the county Department of Social Services is available to help people find alternative housing.

Bottom line, however, he said, “If these people are living in conditions

that are unsafe, they shouldn’t be there.”

Code enforcement supervisor Chris Fraser enjoined, “No one has been dislodged, they’re still there.”

“Obviously we don’t want them in the street, “ Schneiderman added.

Landlords will have to go through court proceedings to evict tenants, some of who are paying $900 per month for overcrowded motel rooms.

New to the town and the department, Troyd felt the operation provided him with a good opportunity to get a bead on the hamlet. He emphasized that while conditions were overcrowded at some dwellings, “The children were taken care of and there was no evidence of drug use, no evidence of prostitution or other criminal activity.”

Hampton Bays was targeted among the town’s hamlets based on a volume of complaints. Enforcement activity and investigations are, said Fraser, “ongoing” in the hamlet and throughout the town. “Many of the violations we found can be easily fixed and we are working with some of the landlords,” Troyd offered.

“But this should be a warning to all landlords throughout the town.

Make sure you are in compliance with all town codes or you will face fines or incarceration.”

“These violations could endanger the lives of residents living in unsafe conditions,” the supervisor added. “This will not be tolerated in the Town of Southampton.”

Zeldin’s War Chest Tops A Cool Mil

By Kitty Merrill

Though Congressman Lee Zeldin is still a year away from a re-election bid, Zeldin for Congress just announced its amount raised and cash on hand for the campaign’s most recent FEC fundraising report, covering donations received between July 1 and September 30.

With a slew of would-be candidates

jockeying for the Democratic line, including most recently Suffolk County Legislator Kate Browning, Zeldin’s campaign committee reported the amount raised this quarter -- $612,373.65 -represents the highest total ever raised by Zeldin for Congress in a quarter of a non-election year.

Cash on hand as of September 30 tops the million-dollar mark at $1,169,040.90.

Pierson’s Javi Lopez (9) and Alex Wesley (21) are key cogs in the team’s suffocating defense.

Pierson, Southold Down To The Wire

By Rick Murphy

The two top soccer teams in League VII slugged it out Thursday, so one emerged at the top of the heap, right?

Wrong.

The Pierson Whalers and Southold Settlers played for first place in League VIII at Mashashimuet Park and left everything they had out on the field, but in the end both teams had to settle for a 1-1 tie.

Pierson damn near pulled it off,

62

employing an ironclad defense in front of its brilliant netminder, Wil Martin.

But with less than two minutes left Ryan Herrmann broke clear and found the net, tying the game with nine seconds remaining. It stayed that way until the setting sun mandated the game be called.

Grady Burton scored Pierson’s goal in the first stanza from the right side off a long assist from Sam Warne. Cole Brigham was brilliant in defeat, turning away six shots

guarding the Southold net.

The Whalers aren’t complaining, mind you. After beating Port Jefferson 4-0 on Saturday, they need only best Smithtown Christian (3-7) on the road today to finish the season with an 11-0-1 league record, (12-1-1 overall); the Whalers only loss of the season was to unbeaten Center Moriches, a League VII school that will compete in the Class B playoffs.

Playing at home against Port Jeff, the Whalers started off slowly and

then found their groove in the second half, scoring three times.

Warne had a busy afternoon with a goal and two assists and Luis Padilla added a goal and an assist to lead Pierson/Bridgehampton (12-0-1) in Suffolk VIII. Martin recorded five saves.

On October 10, the powerful Whalers went up to Greenport and dumped the Clippers 4-0. Warne scored twice and Burton added another goal. Greenport is 6-6 in

Laube, Westhampton Keep Chugging

By Rick Murphy

At this point in time it’s about staying healthy and grabbing a county title.

Yes, the name of Westhampton’s Dylan Laube will be forever etched in the Suffolk County record books.

No, individual statistics and the fame that come with them are not what sports is all about. It’s all about winning.

So when Comsewogue rolled into Westhampton Friday, the focus for the Hurricanes was on winning and staying on the ever-diminishing list of unbeaten teams.

To accomplish that goal, the locals have a tried-and-true formula – get Dylan the football. But more so this season than ever before during

his career, there is a secondary goal in place – keep Laube healthy and rested. And so when the game is secure he is taken out of the game, oftentimes kicking and screaming.

Westhampton opened the scoring in the first stanza courtesy of – who else – Laube, who took off on a 77yard run like a lightning bolt shot from a cannon. Later in the first, he scored again, this time on a nineyard scamper. Laube made it 20-0 in the second with a 14-yard run, and after Comsewogue scored, the All-American candidate took off on another nine-yard scoring run, making it 29-6 at halftime.

That was enough highlights for one day for the senior as the Hurricanes rolled on, 49-13. Laube had 12

league play.

Southold (9-1-1) played Smithtown Christian after press time Monday and plays at Ross School today. That should leave the Settlers in second place and earn them a return engagement in the Suffolk Class C playoffs with Pierson.

“Southold is a very tough team and very well coached. They match up very well against us,” said Pierson coach Peter Solow. “We’ve never had an easy time with them.”

The game was called due to darkness by both referees at 6:29 64

p.m. A 22-minute delay to call an ambulance for an injured Pierson player, Josue Cruz, who suffered an apparent neck injury and was taken to a local hospital, prolonged the game. There was no word on his condition at halftime.

“Fortunately Josue is OK. No concussion or neck injury,” Solow said. “We’re hoping to have him back for our last league game [today] against Smithtown Christian. He’ll definitely be back by our playoff game next week.”

Both game officials said that Section XI would have to rule on whether the game is a draw or that sudden-death overtime needed to be played. However, Pierson

won the first match between the two teams, so it is likely given the fact the playoffs begin this week that the Whalers will be declared League VIII winners and earn the top seed in the Suffolk Class C playoffs. The title game is October 28.

“I don’t think we’re doing overtime.

I think it’s too late in the season,” Solow said.

Riverhead Lacrosse Stars

Sports & Fitness

By Rick Murphy

Riverhead Central School District high school lacrosse players have been busy making headlines.

Over the summer, three Riverhead High School players -- Katie Goodale, Megan Kielbasa and Chrissy Thomas -- earned recognition after being named to the Under Armour All-American Command team from Long Island.

To earn their respective spots on the championship team, the girls participated in a tryout where they competed against more than 150 lacrosse players from across Suffolk and Nassau counties. The team went on to take the division championship.

In addition to playing on the Under Armour team, Goodale, along with fellow players Emma Panciocco and Christine Thomas

The district extends its congratulations to the lacrosse players for their recent accomplishments.

It is unlikely Laube will get much rest come Friday evening. Sayville (5-1), the legendary Golden Flashes, comes to town at 6 for a showdown.

Sayville is a perennial county and Long Island champion.

Laube, by the way, leads Suffolk with 1422 rushing yards on only 123 carries, a gaudy 11.56 yards-per-carry.

He’s scored 21 touchdowns, also tops in the county.

In Conference IV action Wyandanch, on the road, hammered Southampton

Niquan Joiner completed 11 of 15 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown to earn the win for Wyandanch.

Joiner also scored a rushing touchdown. It was the first win of the season for Wyandanch, now 1-5.

Southampton (1-4) finishes up the season Saturday against Port Jefferson (3-2).

Hampton Bays (3-3) beat Mercy 14-7 on the road Friday. Liam Egan scored the game-winning touchdown on a three-yard run with 4:47 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Ryan Razzano had 16 carries for 67 yards and one touchdown in the first quarter. Razzano completed four of 11 passes for 24 yards. Anthony Bossone recorded 70 yards on 22 carries. Bossone went 2-for-2 on PAT kicks. Egan and Ethan Aube each made eight tackles. Aube, Gabe Boro, and David Scott each notched one sack for Mercy (4-2).
