PRAY FOR HILLARY Did you notice that no matter what Bruce Jenner told Diane Sawyer about his secret past, the only time her face reacted with disgust was when he told her he was a Republican?

I guess Sawyer thought that Jenner was a Republican who, in his case, would take part in the “Republican War on Sort-of-Women.”

As a Republican I have come to grips with the fact that the media will not rest until Hillary is elected President.

And let me say right now, this might be a good thing.

That’s why I say to Republicans: Spend your time nominating a good candidate who will save this country and stop spending all your time beating up on Hillary.

It’s a waste of time.

and Clyde of politics.

They may have taken in more illegal dollars last year than the Mafia.

Who cares? No one.

Do you really think that the fact that the Clintons may have swiped millions means anything to the average Democrat voter?

Of course not.

I will bet you that not a single one of those, “I only vote Democrat because of the Republicans’ War on Women” dopes will move away from Hillary.

But they will forget the millions of Saudi dollars she accepted for the Clinton Foundation? Thank goodness no one will talk about “The Saudis’ War on Women.”

So why do I think Hillary losing the Democrat nomination in 2016 would be the greatest disaster in this country’s history?

Ask yourself this question: If not Hillary, who?

If not Hillary, the Democrat nominee would probably be Elizabeth Warren, the non-truth telling Indian.

Warren is a liar who politically

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

leans far far to the left.

She is Barack Obama in a dress.

Warren had represented herself to both Penn and Har vard as Cherokee-Native American.

Boston Globe columnist Brian McGrory wrote, “Elizabeth Warren’s Cherokee ancestry, almost certainly declared on federal forms by Warren herself and used by a pair of Ivy League universities to tout their diversity efforts, all without an ounce of proof that she has a drop of Indian blood flowing through her veins.”

When confronted with this information, Warren admitted she had filled out forms listing herself as Native American, claiming she wanted to meet Native Americans.

Detailed genealogical investigation by a group of Cherokee genealogists showed that Warren had no Cherokee or other Native American ancestry.

When caught in this lie Warren proved she can make up excuses better than Hillar y when she said she thought she was Native American because her aunt told her that her grandfather had “high cheekbones.”

My grandfather Giuseppe, known on Avenue U as “Pepe au curto,” was only 4 foot 8, but I can promise you that I will never claim I’m a midget.

Warren’s a liar, but if she runs, Democrat/Socialist voters will make her our next President.

The liberal rational for having her run against Hillary in the primaries will be Elizabeth Warren has been caught lying but she’s never been caught stealing.

I’m a Republican, but I will

IN THE NEWS

be praying for Hillary to win the nomination over Warren.

This country will not survive back-to-back socialist, “leading from behind” Presidents.

We live in dangerous times. Our children and grandchildren will be facing a time when religious fanatics will be armed with deadly weapons that can annihilate an American city in the blink of an eye.

We have a President who is enabling Iran, a country that wants to destroy us, to develop nuclear weapons.

He apparently believes that “Death to America” is a term of endearment.

Warren may even be worse, if that’s possible. That’s why we must pray for Hillary.

Anyway, Hillary would have been a far better President than Barack Obama turned out to be.

Had she won the nomination over Mr. Hope and Change, we would not have lost the Middle East.

There would be no ISIS. And there would be a lot more respect for this country in the world.

Also, she wouldn’t have stupidly allowed Iran to develop nuclear weapons. She has more balls than Obama and Kerry combined.

As for Republicans, my advice is to nominate Jeb Bush, or Scott Walker, or Marco Rubio, or John Kasich, or Chris Christie. Otherwise, if she’s running, my vote goes to Hillary.

I’ll always be more of an American than I am a Republican.

I hope there are Democrats who feel as I do.

Big Changes In Bridgehampton

By Emily Toy

The already bustling stretch of Montauk Highway that goes through Bridgehampton proper may be seeing even more activity this year. And it’s happening on both ends, of course, just in time for summer.

On the western end of the hamlet’s main stretch, near the Bridgehampton Commons, plans for the Bridgehampton Gateway continue to move forward.

At a work session on April 16, Town Planning and Development Administrator Kyle Collins presented an updated conceptual plan for the Gateway to the Southampton Town Board. It was determined that public hearings on the project could take place by mid July and continue into August. Those in turn would prompt a board vote to approve the Planned Development District. Currently the environmental review for the project is, according to Collins, “75 to 80 percent complete,” with the concept for development first materializing over a decade ago in 2003.

Proposals for the 13 plus acres located across the street from the Bridgehampton Commons include a variety of retail, office and residential spaces. Originally, a Barnes & Noble bookstore was slated to anchor the PDD, but the plans fell through.

Last fall, Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst and Collins began working with the Bridgehampton Advisory Committee, whose members called the supervisor’s suggestions “a step in the right direction for the hamlet.”

“They’ve been terrific partners,” said Throne-Holst about members of the Bridgehampton CAC. “They’ve been very actively involved as we’re considering this application.”

A s a P D D, B r idge h am p to n Gateway would have to become its own zoning district, thus allowing development to take place without regular zoning restrictions implemented elsewhere in the hamlet. Right now, the Gateway is zoned for highway business uses, restricting the type of business allowed in the development. As a PDD, aspects of how the project betters the community at large must also be included.

The current draft of the plan includes 12 buildings for the lot, ranging from 3600 to 15,000 square feet. All together, there’s 90,000 square feet of commercial space.

All of the structures would be designed in a farmhouse aesthetic, as a nod to the agricultural history

of Bridgehampton. A large pasture area in the front of the development will also be included in the plan, as will 293 parking spaces.

Two of the larger structures are set to become an Equinox gym, weighing in at 13,000 and 14,000 square feet, respectively.

If the Equinox plan is terminated, the town board has set the maximum size of use within each other those Continued on Page 31.

New development will bookend the hamlet’s downtown.

Lawsuit Targeting Airport Regs Lands

By Kitty Merrill

East Hampton had a town landing field dating back to the 1930s.

People flew in to a field on Further Lane near Two Mile Hollow beach, historian Hugh King informed town board members during their recent meeting. Residents, along with the Ladies Village Improvement Society, objected to the noise and low flying planes, King reported. “Sound familiar?” he asked.

History repeated itself myriad times over the ensuing decades, with

complaints reaching a crescendo during the last several years as helicopter traffic increased.

History -- airport lawsuit history -- is repeating itself again. Last week, within days of the town’s adoption of regulations designed to ameliorate the din, representatives of aviation interests filed suit.

On April 21, the Friends of East Hampton Airport Coalition filed suit against the town, looking to prevent aviation “bans,” as they see them. The plaintiffs seek both

declaratory and injunctive relief, meaning they want to stop the town from implementing curfews, as well as a regulation prohibiting more than one trip per week per aircraft. According to court papers FOEHA, which filed with Analar Corporation, Associated Aircraft Group, Inc., Eleventh Street Aviation LLC, Helicopter Association International, Inc., Heliflite Shares, LLC., Liberty Aircraft Services, Inc., and Sound Aircraft, Inc., believes the local laws will “severely restrict

access to East Hampton Airport.”

Additionally, the litigants argue the restrictions violate and conflict with federal law and policy, and unduly burden interstate commerce.

Town officials responded to the April 21 filing with a statement.

“Stripped of its rhetoric, the 34-page complaint is entirely predictable and contains no surprises,” the statement listing hired airport attorney Peter Kirsch as its contact declares.

What makes East Hampton’s restrictions unique, the press release continues, are years of study and public meetings, failed steps to mitigate noise, such as voluntary curfews, plus their narrow target.

Officials insist the restrictions will not affect as almost 80 percent of operations at the airport.

Slice And Dice “We have, with surgical precision, defined precise restrictions that limit only the most disturbing operations at East Hampton Airport.

The Town has committed to an incremental approach – and to reevaluation of the restrictions after the end of the 2015 season to make sure that they have been only as restrictive as necessary,” officials’ statement reiterates.

The town will defend the lawsuit “vigorously,” the statement predicts, concluding, “While we anticipated this lawsuit, it is sad that these airport users are now going to force the Town to spend scarce airport funds to defend these restrictions rather than working to make this airport the best it can be.”

FOEHA spokesman Loren Riegelhaupt provided a counterpoint. “FOEHA remains steadfastly committed to preserving East Hampton Airport’s vitality and accessibility to the public. It is deeply unfortunate that we were forced to sue to stop the Town’s actions. It is a course that we concluded we had no alternative but to pursue after months of trying, without success, to convince the Town to follow its obligations under federal aviation law,” he said.

Concurrently, a petition listed on the website MoveOn.org on April 21 garnered 429 signatures as of Monday. It calls upon the town board to prove the oft-stated desire to keep the airport open. (Some restriction opponents believe the town’s end game is closure of the facility.)

The petition asks the town to undertake long-needed maintenance work and repairs rather than use airport funds to fight a costly legal battle.

Attention: Business and Homeowners You May be Eligible for a Septic System Rebate The State may be allocating up to $100 million dollars to the East End to upgrade residential septic systems.

There are 81,000 aging cesspools on the East End that are leeching harmful chemicals into our bays and groundwater. New systems can cost anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000.

Don’t be fooled by cesspool company gimmicks. Treating cesspools and drywells by aeration and acid methods to create temporary pathways for drainage, in fact drives pollutants downward that accelerates the failure of your drainage system as well as harms sensitive groundwater aquifers.

With ESi, there may be no need to replace your septic system and still qualify for a rebate. Their time honored method will completely extract the accumulated greases and sediment by excavating a cavity and removing the pollutants down to clean native sand. ESi will then introduce new sand to create a filtering buffer and support structural integrity.

Cathy Cahill Appeal Moves Forward

By Rick Murphy

Former East Hampton Town Justice Catherine Cahill has been granted an extension to consolidate an appeal and cross appeal from two judgments issued in State Supreme Court last year.

On June 14, 2014, the court ordered Cahill to return over $1 million fraudulently obtained by her late husband, Marvin Hyman, in a business deal.

The money was part of $1.9 million paid to Hyman from the town’s Community Preservation Fund. Hyman should have split it with his business partner, the Honorable Paul J. Baisley decreed.

He ruled for the plaintiffs, Nelson Gerard and Buckskill LLC, and ordered Cahill to pay the plaintiffs about $1 million plus interest dating back to 2005.

Cahill was given until June 15 of this year to perfect the appeals and file her brief.

The back story -- exclusively reported in The Independent (see issues 4/15 and 11/25 in the archives for 2009 on our website, www. indyeastend.com) -- is that Hyman apparently used his connections with Democratic Party officials to work out a sweetheart deal for himself and Cahill using CPF funds.

Baisley, usually even-tempered, lambasted Cahill in his decision, implying her testimony bordered on perjury.

“The court finds Cahill’s testimony . . . not credible. Her answers . . . were either selfserving or intentionally vague and disingenuous,” the Judge wrote in his decision.

In 2003 Hyman approached Gerard with an enticing proposition – put up the money for a 9.6acre parcel on Green Hollow Road dubbed Buckskill Farm, and Hyman would use “his connections” to subdivide it. The lots created would then be sold, and Hyman and Gerard would divvy up the profits.

Hyman finagled to keep the parcel out of a proposed upzoning, and even got the town board to ease clearing restrictions on some of the wooded lots within the subdivision – an unheard of accommodation.

The town board took heat from Republican political opponents for upzoning Hyman’s parcel. The board at the time was made up of four Democrats – Supervisor Bill McGintee, Pete Hammerle, Debra Foster, and Job Potter, plus Pat Mansir, who joined the party shortly after.

Hyman sold two-thirds of the parcel – a farm -- to the town for

$1.9 million on October 17, 2004 but rather then split the money with Gerard he deposited it in a checking account he shared with Cahill. Hyman subsequently died – court papers reveal he knew he was dying of prostate cancer at the time.

Cahill and Gerard have been in litigation ever since.

In 2007 Cahill asserted her “spousal privilege” and declined to answer questions about the deal. Later, she reversed field.

Gerard’s attorney, Jeffrey Stark of the Uniondale firm Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo, Cohn, and Terrana, argued “adverse influence” should be taken against Cahill -- that in essence allows the court to assume her answers would have been prejudicial to her.

According to the Code of Judicial Conduct a sitting judge has the “duty to be informed. A judge shall use reasonable efforts to keep informed about the judge’s

April 29, 2015

11

personal and fiduciary economic interests, and make reasonable effort to keep informed about the personal economic interests of the judge’s spouse . . .” Yet Cahill, when she was finally deposed, was less than forthright, according to court records.

Baisley said as much in his ruling last month. He said, given Cahill’s standing as a lawyer and a sitting judge, “Cahill’s professed ignorance as to matters fully within the comprehension of any lawyer or judge is not credible.”

Baisley ruled Hyman executed Continued on Page 23.

YouthBuild Wave Breaks East End

By Emily Toy

Last week the Southampton Town Board met with United Way Long Island President and CEO Theresa Regnante to discuss opportunities for youth, veterans and struggling families being spearheaded by the organization. Now in its 50th year, United Way of Long Island is a charitable non-profit organization run by an independent volunteer board of directors.

The organization is known for improving the lives of many by creating solutions to such issues as lack of education, housing, healthcare, financial stability, and stable employment.

Current initiatives Regnante and

United Way are bringing forward, that are stretching to Southampton Town, include apprenticeship programs and efficiencies in affordable housing.

“The top line in our work has changed from being an organization that people know as raising money, to now, as one that distributes money,” Regnante said. “Of the $20 million raised, $4 million flows through the process where we give money to other organizations to do things.”

Specific areas United Way has a hand in include offering and engaging Suffolk County youth in trade training and furthering their education.

On the housing front, Regnante

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

reminded the town board of United Way’s efforts. Striving to make sure things are affordable to people in need, the organization uses sustainable energy systems when available.

“We want to make sure we’re building homes where people can afford the operating cost,” Regnante said. “The ground wave is moving forward for homeowners to understand quality, comfort and safety. It’s really Energy Star on steroids as a program or housing model.”

Segueing into that, the YouthBuild program is addressing core issues facing low-income communities in areas of housing, education, employment, crime prevention, and

leadership development.

Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n f o r y o u n g residents in Southampton Town (and further points east, for that matter) is an issue plaguing the program’s efforts.

“Transportation is a big problem,” Regnante told the town board. She mentioned if 10 to 15 students could get to Bellport (the program’s home base) then the success rate would be sure to increase. Regnante added United Way has partnered with the Boys and Girls Club in Bellport, stressing getting students there is the “first rung in the ladder.”

In the program, young men, women and veterans (ages 18 to 24) work towards a TASC [Test Assessing Secondary Completion] diploma while learning hands-on job skills.

With some of the funding provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, the vocational training offered includes areas of building, manufacturing, medical billing and coding, nursing, food managing, and family care.

A Local Hook?

“For YouthBuild, it’s really about those struggling, those who are addicted, and/or didn’t finish high school,” Regnante said.

“We see a lot of our young people who can’t pass the test. Each year we try to enroll about 80 youths into the program. (Most of those students come from Suffolk County.)

We try to make an assessment from a career development standpoint, and we try to move our money to Suffolk Community College or someplace locally.”

Regnante also mentioned “Now they’re outside of the BOCES age, and mom or dad can’t pay, we can allow them to go to that certificate program, whatever their dream is.”

Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst acknowledged the transportation problem, noting the problem could also be psychological.

When bussing the students to Bellport, “there’s a sense of feeling that they are leaving their community,” the supervisor said.

“They feel worn out. That’s a big commute early in the morning.”

Throne-Holst questioned whether or not there was a way to hook them on a local level, maybe not going as far, physically. The supervisor asked if it were possible to maybe house a satellite location in Bridgehampton or Flanders and develop an incentive program as a foundation to better commit and understand what the YouthBuild program entails.

“We’d want to get them to commit to it,” Throne-Holst said, “which includes waking up, getting on the road, etc.”

Don’t get caught short when Patch frantically reports, “The Storm’s Coming and We’re ALL GONNA DIE!” For Fluke’s Sake Last week Congressman Lee Zeldin and Senator Chuck Schumer re-introduced the “Fluke Fairness Bill,” which will reform the current system that governs fluke regulation by creating a regional approach that updates quotas and standards based on sound geographic, scientific and economic data.

The current system of federal regulations for fluke fishing has created a complicated patchwork of quotas and rules for each state in the region. Last year, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission enacted a reform permitting New York anglers to keep five fluke of 18 inches or below during the 128-day season that starts early May. Before that most recent change, New York anglers could only keep four fluke of 19 inches or below, while New Jersey and Connecticut anglers in shared waters, such as

Raritan Bay and the Long Island Sound, could keep five fish at 17.5 inches; a confusing and unnecessary burden on anglers in the tristate area. Without federal legislation, this issue will continue to arise year after year. The Fluke Fairness Bill provides a permanent solution to this lingering issue, the pair said.

Wrapping Up Stress Awareness Month INDSYtresLsI#F5E

By Kitty Merrill

An unseasonably cold April. The weather has been a stressor unto itself, as the summer season starts to loom. On a few days, at least, it’s been “sunny with a chance of money,” as Indy staffer Ben Sneed likes to say.

To conclude our month-long look at stress and its effects – visit our online archives at www.indyeastend.com to catch up – we took an intimate roll call in the newsroom, to reveal how folks at The Independent handle stress and list our favorite stress busters. And, so . . .

This Is How We Do It Every night after dinner, Paula, Sheldon Kawer’s wife, breaks off a little piece of dark chocolate for the couple to share. Our newest addition to the advertising sales department is on to something, since dark chocolate is rich in healthy flavonols, and also causes an increase in the production of endorphins, the ”feel good” hormones.

Scientists say that even five minutes outdoors can provide a mood lift. That’s publisher Jim Mackin’s favorite stress buster. He ”needs” to see the water every day, and makes time for beach walks as

often as possible. Our Southampton editor Emily Toy shares that outdoor love, and finds a walk in nature an excellent mood elevator. When she’s stressing, “I get up, get out, and go for a walk.”

Several staffers listed exercise as their preferred method for encouraging their chill. Production goddess, Arts and Entertainment editor and Hampton Daze editor in chief Jessica Mackin drops in to exhale or Soul Cycle to work it out.

Graphic designer Christine John practices yoga, and Joanna Froschl can keep all her plates spinning – as a mom, wife, and ad sales exec -with a commitment to spin classes.

Jessica, Christine, and Joanna are on point. Exercise amps up endorphin production, improves sleep, and makes you stronger.

Fit people are better equipped to handle the vicissitudes of day to day life.

“When I’m feeling stress, I have to take a nap,” said Sneed. “I’m a big ol napster.” Researchers at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania found that naps have a restorative effect that assists in coping with stress and its symptoms, particularly the cardiovascular kind.

Test subjects were given stressful tasks to accomplish and those who had a 45-minute nap wound up with lower blood pressure and heart rates than those who did not.

Crank It, Stef!

Indy’s office manager Stefany Restrepo turns to tunes when her stress levels rise. “I listen to music,” she informed. “Good, happy music.”

Music has an established place in the world of stress-busting. It helps lower pulse and heart rate and decreases the levels of stress hormones in the blood. It also acts as a distraction from negative

BEST SUMMER EVER

emotions.

So do pets.

Many people find interacting with animals the perfect antidote to stress. Hanging with your hound lowers stress response and enhances recovery.

Our “Is It Just Me?” contributor Karen Fredericks counts giving her little dog smooches and cuddles as her favorite stress-buster. She’s talking about an actual pet canine there, not hubby Editor Rick Murphy . . . we presume.

“I immerse myself in my work,” Murphy said in response to the question, “How do you deal with stress?” When coworkers’ laughter died down, he confessed to relaxing by reading baseball stats. Hobbies are suggested stress busters for those who are overwhelmed by all they have to do and a high volume of crushing responsibilities, a fact that prompted more laughter from Murphy’s minions.

Speaking of geezers like Murphy, Indy’s self-proclaimed “old fart,” John Laudando replied to our query

with, “I don’t get stress, I gave up on getting stressed. I don’t get agita, I give agita.” We suspect our advertising production manager keeps his mellow by gardening, an activity that combines a handful of stress-busters – exercise, having a hobby, and getting outdoors amongst the green of nature.

Humor is also listed among top tricks for easing stress. Nobody knows – or does – that better than Independent co-publisher, awardwinning columnist, and original Mad Man Jerry Della Femina. Asked about his favorite coping skill, he replied, “I drink. Excessively. After three martinis, there is a mantra: Stresshh is my friend . . . Stresshh is my friend. Stresshh (hic) is my friend.”

And me? Your intrepid Stress Awareness series writer likes all of the above, plus meditation, chilling with the latest episode of “Grey’s Anatomy,” eating clean meals, tormenting politicians, keeping in touch with good friends, and sex – sometimes even with a partner.

The Picture of Success Starts Here.

We’re lending to local businesses.

Experienced lenders.

Local decision-making.

Faster financing.

RICK’S SPACE What Voodoo Do You Do? “Don’t eat the forbidden fruit?”

“Why?” “That’s taboo!”

Hey, I still know how to party down. On Saturday night a bunch of us got together, let our proverbial hair down, and let our freak flags fly.

Naturally, the conversation turned to word origins. Talk about a wild night!

What exactly is a taboo?

“It’s a curse of some kind,” someone said.

“You mean, like, ‘You stupid mother taboo?’” I asked.

“Don’t joke. Strange things happen when you mess with the occult.”

“Taboo you,” I replied.

Actually, the roots of taboo are in the West Indies, from the Fijian tabu, the Tongan tapu, and the Hawaiian “Book ‘em, Dano.”

A taboo is “a vehement prohibition of an action based on the belief

that such behavior is either too sacred or too accursed for ordinary individuals to undertake,” like trying to make sense of this column.

You know the dolls we used to stick pins in when we were little?

Not your little sister, but the ones with big earrings, long skirts, and hair made of ganga? I believe if you break a taboo they come over your house and make you eat pulled pork jerky and listen to Dr. John, and then they put a curse on you. Oh wait, that’s voodoo. My bad.

Obviously, this is what happened to me, which is why I am stuck here sitting next to Kitty Merrill trying to write this meaningless column on deadline.

But I don’t want this to happen to you, so I am providing a list of known taboos (really).

Sexually related taboos: incest, necrophilia, miscegenation, adultery, fornication, pedophilia,

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

homosexuality, intermarriage, bestiality and masturbation. Most of us don’t have to worry about these because being normal, we’ve never engaged in any of these deviate acts, right? OK, maybe one . . . or two.

Three, tops.

Eating forbidden fruit: There it is again. The problem is there is no list of aforesaid fruits, anywhere.

Are tangerines good to go? Who knows? One thing is certain, though, avocados are OK or half the people in California would be walking around with shrunken heads.

Cannibalism: Since the world is overpopulated and there are millions of starving people, we can surmise that this taboo isn’t being broken nearly enough.

Dietary: This is the newest of the taboos and gained popularity when people started dipping Slim Jims into melted Velveeta. The punishment is death, one-way or the other.

Moving right along, a voodoo is defined as “the heartburn you feel after eating Cajun food.” The cure, like for everything, is to smoke a spleef the size of a cigar.

Then there is Hoodoo, an outgrowth of Voodoo, which espouses the use of herbs as a cure all, or at least that’s what I told the arresting officer when I lived in New Orleans in 1972.

IN THE NEWS

Stores actually sell these items, c a l l e d gris-gris, which are sometimes ingested a n d oftentimes hung over doors or on walls to ward off evil and bring good luck. The most popular gris-gris are Five Finger Grass, Dragon Blood Sticks, Dixie Love Perfume and Brimstone, but they have recently changed the name of the perfume to “Ship’s In.” According to Wikipedia, “Many voodoo practitioners were believed to be afraid of these hoodoo items” but then again, Wikipedia is a pretend encyclopedia so who knows for sure. Incidentally, try the Dragon Blood Sticks with Velveeta.

Be it taboo, voodoo, or hoodoo, all of these rituals have a purpose: to give people a direction in life that leads to the true road where good conquers evil. Hey if you have to stick a few pins in a doll, bite off a snake’s head, or smoke a little Five Finger, so be it.

EDITORIAL

Trustees Need Our Support Yes, the idea that Dongan Patents issued in the 17th century still hold sway in local municipalities is hard to grasp.

Yet, for Trustees in Southampton, East Hampton, and Southold charged with protecting the public’s right to use local waterways, there remains a sacred trust.

The political waters between town trustees and town governments have churned for many years, oftentimes uncontrollably. Ultimately, some kind of peace usually prevails, even if based on uneasy truces.

Southampton Trustees have gotten the worst of the skirmishes with Southampton Town. Certainly, the trustees, some of whom are brash and adamant and most of whom are stubborn, are responsible for some of the rancor. Remember, though, they are elected by the people.

A recent decision in state court is a devastating blow to not only Southampton Trustees, but to all our East End communities.

The Appellate Court ruled Southampton Town Trustees do not have the authority to regulate the construction of sea walls or other hardened protective structures along the oceanfront.

Unless it’s overturned, the decision means private oceanfront property owners can protect their own property regardless of the effect seawalls and the like will have on neighboring properties and the beaches as a whole. They will cause severe erosion – perhaps unthinkable erosion. Worse, it foreshadows a worst case scenario that could limit use of whatever beaches do remain to the uber-rich and presents the specter that many residents will never again be able to appreciate the freedom of walking miles along the shores of the East End. In a related mater, the Trustees reluctantly acquiesced to the town’s demands that it oversees their finances -- from now on the all monies will roll through the town comptroller. The Trustees voted 3-2 to give up management of their own office, with former President and current Trustee Eric Shultz voting against the measure. Shultz and Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst have been nothing short of bitter enemies over recent years, and Throne-Holst certainly wins the tug of war on this count.

But the real battle has yet to begin. Should the town board waiver in its defense of the Town Trustees now it will be a dagger to the heart to every citizen of the community.

The legal fees needed to appeal and ultimately reverse the court decision are considerable, and anything less than a 100 percent commitment from the town is unacceptable.

In East Hampton locals call bubbies “the Finest Kind” -- those among us who realize the freedom to use our beaches and waterways is more valuable than all of Captain Kidd’s gold bullion.

There are a lot of deep-pocketed oceanfront property owners who throw a lot of money around town, especially during election year. They’ve never been able to buy a Town Trustee. Let’s hope that holds true for our other town leaders.

Independent VOICES

Not A Barn

To The Editor, Whether or not the DA’s investigation of 555 leads to criminal charges, and whatever the outcome of the airport lawsuits, one thing is clear. Ineptitude, profligate CPF spending, cronyism, pandering to favored constituents, etc., are all back at Town Hall. Ignoring the recommendations of advisory panels, rushing to get deals done without thorough debate and discussion, a Democrat-led Town Board has once again embroiled East Hampton in scandal and litigation.

THE 555 PROPERTY is just one example.

CPF money should not be used to buy buildings, as any number of advisory panels (and Mr. Thiele) have stated. But the town board keeps calling the building at 555 just a “barn.” Anyone who’s been inside the building can tell you it’s not a

Independent/Jessica Mackin

barn in any ordinary sense of that word.

I trust the Indy will stay on this issue and others involving competence and trustworthiness at Town Hall, and I hope voters are paying attention.

REG CORNELIA

Almost Cute Dear Editor, The recent pictures of Congressmen Trey Gowdy and Ken Buck caressing Buck’s AR-15 rifle prove once again that a lack of maturity is not a hindrance to being elected to public office.

The photo of these little boys masking as men playing with their toy would be almost cute if bullets didn’t actually kill people — often innocent people.

But what is most illustrated is the utter selfishness of most Republicans and many members of the gun industry whose attitude basically is “since nobody I care about has gotten shot, what’s all the fuss about?”

Have you begun your garden yet?

Laura (left) and Tara (right) Hagerman We’ve got our plants started in the greenhouse and we’ve rototilled the garden. We grow lots of vegetables. We grow tomatoes, spinach, lettuce and jalapeno peppers. All different kinds. We have some real pepper fans in our family.

Lara Pizzanelli I plant an herb garden in container pots for my deck. I do about eight to 10 of those. And then my flower garden gets filled in with some annuals that fill out the perennials I already have. I’ve got catmint and butterfly bushes. I plant things that are bee friendly.

Ninetta Dafnos This year I lost most of my bulbs, tulips and daffodils. But my hydrangea are doing fine. I have all the colors. Blue, white, pink. But I have one that’s almost Burgundy, which I just love!

I’ve looked for more but I’ve never been able to find another. It’s so beautiful.

Christina Matos The gardening is mostly happening in my mind as of yet. All that sun out there makes me think about how beautiful it all will be, and that is inspiring me to get my garden going. I plant flowers, lots of them, all kinds. In containers, bulbs, in the ground, all kinds of flowers.

“There’s a lack of support, that’s the root of the problem.

Local schools don’t offer enough support,” he said. King noted the site where the BOCES program was housed in Riverhead could be a potential site for the YouthBuild program to move into.

Regnante told the town board YouthBuild and VetsBuild both funnel into apprenticeship programs, noting young men and women are trending to a trade rather than an academic degree.

“I respect and understand the fact that we have people here that are the backbone of this community, and they should be able to live here,” she said. “In a community like ours, where the socioeconomic spectrum is so wide, we can hardly afford to have the NIMBY mentality here. We need to make sure the next generation and members of the vet community can live here and be a part of that backbone.”

Regnante agreed.

“We’re looking to progressive projects with Southampton,” she said.“We’re not interested in working in a town where we just can’t move for, and with, the client.”

Regnante reminded the town board to reach out. “You know how to get us,” she said.

Mitzvah Day On Tap The Jewish Center of the Hamptons hosts its seventh annual Mitzvah Day on Sunday.

On Mitzvah Day, members join together for a day of social action, “to serve as instruments of blessing in our community.”

The day’s schedule includes breakfast at 9 AM and an opening ceremony at 9:30 AM. From 10 AM till noon volunteer Mitzvah projects will be underway. They include: collecting clothing for donation to Big Brothers/ Big Sisters, packing up the center’s winter homeless shelter, a car wash to benefit at-risk children in Israel, collecting food for local food pantries, and planting a vegetable and flower garden.

At noon, a barbecue provided

by JCOH concludes Mitzvah Day.

Go Fund Fireworks

East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell and Hamptons Marathon race founders Amanda Moszkowski and Diane Weinberger visit Project MOST at the Springs School to present the program with this year’s donation, a check for $31,000.

Each year after the race the Hamptons Marathon team makes donations to support local East End groups. In December 2014, the Hamptons Marathon donated over $75,000, including $31,000 to Project MOST. The race also supports Southampton Hospital, the Springs School, the Springs School PTA’s K-3 extracurricular swimming program, the East Hampton Day Care Learning Center and East Hampton Youth Football.

Over the past eight years, the Hamptons Marathon has donated over $500,000 to support local East Hampton organizations.

The primary source of these donations is the runners’ race

fees, but the Hamptons Marathon’s primary sponsors are JetBlue and Equinox Fitness.

Hamptons Marathon, Inc., was ranked the world’s top 10 halfmarathons and The Active Times voted it number seven. The ninth annual Hamptons Marathon & Half will be held on September 26, with a field of 2,500 runners. It’s expected to sell out, as it has each year. For more information, visit http://www. hamptonsmarathon.com.

Project MOST is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization committed to building on the strengths of children by providing students a range of academic support, enrichment activities, and a positive social environment everyday after school.

Fireworks at July 4th community celebrations are as American as apple pie. Eliminate them and be prepared to inflame the citizenry.

But with rising production, insurance and municipality costs, nonprofit organizations with limited resources such as the Montauk Chamber of Commerce, whose fireworks event is an Independence Day tradition for locals and visitors alike, Internet crowd sourcing sites are a solution.

“The chamber launched its first Go Fund Me campaign on April 19 this year after learning that the Shelter Island fireworks organizer garnered $36,500 from its Go Fund Me campaign as of today,” said Laraine Creegan, executive director, last week. “We source about half of the cost from our hotel members, however to give you an example of rising costs the fireworks cost $16,000 ten years ago, $19,000 five years ago and $23,000 today. We struggle to make up the difference from chamber resources and that means taking away from or eliminating another special event that contributes to our prime, short tourist season economy.”

Cahill

Continued from page 11. the deal with the town to sell the farm for CPF money without Gerard’s knowledge or approval.

Hyman “deliberately and stealthily carried out his plan to spirit away the proceeds of the sale out from under the nose of his partner.�

Baisley also opined “Hyman [also an attorney] committed acts which raise serious ethical questions.�

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

Cahill, in a letter to The East Hampton Star written after the original exposes, threatened to sue The Independent. Court testimony completely substantiates this newspaper’s reporting. Cahill denied knowing who Gerard was when quizzed by this newspaper even though she had been involved in litigation with him. Cahill also disavowed knowledge of the Buckskill deal even though the proceeds were deposited in her personal checking account.

Family FilmFest At WHBPAC T h e Westhampton B e a c h Performing Arts Center presents its third Family F i l m Fe s t f o r all ages on May 9. This year’s theme i s “ Fa n t a s t i c Journeys,” with each program featuring performances with high energy and high

imagination.

Join a space-alien potato on his zany adventures, witness the creation of the alphabet, sing along with a brave little octopus, and grow up along with a rebellious daughter made of frosting. These themes, plus many more, will all be featured in this celebration of creativity.

New I-Tri Fundraising Launches Goodcircle.org, a crowdfunding platform for good that unites businesses, individuals, and nonprofits around a common purpose, has launched a fundraising project for i-tri.

I-tri is a non-profit organization that works with sixth, seventh and eighth grade girls in Sag Harbor, Springs, Southampton and Montauk, helping them learn about and believe in their own potential by preparing for and completing a youth triathlon.

Many of the i-tri girls who will complete the Hamptons Youth Triathlon on July 15 will learn to swim and ride a bike for the first time.

Preparing for the triathlon requires not just volunteers, but certified professional instructors to teach swimming, running and cycling. The program is completely free to all girls selected for i-tri.

The goodcircle project is focused on funding the girls’ training, including the professional trainers’ fees and the transportation to get them to the training venue, two components critical to the girls reaching the starting line for a life-changing experience.

The total cost of the goodcircle “Training” project is $27,535.

Hampton Jitney will provide bus transport for each girl from Montauk, Springs and Southampton free of charge to Long Beach, Sag Harbor (the site of the Hamptons Youth Triathlon) for training – traditionally a huge expense to the organization and a donation worth $13,000.

Paddlers for Humanity, a group that funds programs dealing with emotional and educational well-being for youth on the East End, vows to match donations for the trainers’ fees dollar for dollar – up to $7,268 to ensure the goal is met.

Hampton Jitney and Paddlers for Humanity, are contributing more than $20,000 combined, leaving only $7,268 of that total to be raised from individual donations. That’s roughly $100 per girl.

Ross School The Boys Varsity Tennis team is currently 5-1 in League Seven.

This week the team defeated Southampton 3–1, Rocky Point 6–1, and Mattituck 4–3.

As part of their studies of evolution of life on Earth, Ross third graders recreated the 88-foot-long trail of footprints that was fossilized 3.6 million years ago at a volcanic site in Laetoli, Tanzania. The students created the footprints in a sandbox at Ross Lower School, made casts of the footprints using plaster, and then measured the distance between the footprints using an archeologist’s methods to study the physiology of the hominids’ legs and to prove that they were likely among the first to walk on two.

The public is invited on May 19 for a special screening of the The Good Lie, starring Reese Witherspoon and Kuoth Wiel. The film follows a group of Sudanese refugees given the chance to resettle in America in Kansas City, Missouri. Ms. Wiel and Scott Fifer, executive director of the GO Campaign, will attend.

Exact time is TBD.

Eight or nine of the structures would have commercial uses on the first floor, with affordable housing units slated for the second floor.

There’ll be 28 apartments in total.

“We’re looking to make this as beneficial to Bridgehampton and the surrounding areas as possible, that’s the point,” the supervisor said.

Issues concerning traffic, according to Collins, will be addressed with the Environmental Impact Statement as will the affects of developing a retail space across from an already existing retail space.

Collins said he expects to see results of the EIS from the engineers in May. Town planners are also slated to conduct traffic studies during the summer months, when congestion on the main artery to the East End is at its peak. The final EIS, Collins said, is expected in mid-September, with findings statements hopefully ready by October.

“These applications always bring out emotional feelings,” ThroneHolst said, “as well as lots of people either for or against it. The larger amount of people offering their opinions, the better. There’s a value to being able to relate what was an underlying zoning decision.

And the process to getting there is important.”

And On This Corner On the eastern end of Bridgehampton’s Main Street is a project that has many locals in an uproar.

The intersection of Montauk Highway, the Bridgehampton/ Sag Harbor Turnpike, Ocean Road and Lumber Lane is currently seeing construction on what is the beginning of a new location for a CVS Pharmacy.

Locals have shown a general disdain for the proposal, with dozens gathering at the busy intersection in protest last year.

Last summer the Suffolk County Health Department issued a permit for the project and a building permit was issued for the building CVS would occupy. Construction began in September. The building will be two stories and over 9000 square feet.

concern voiced by locals and visitors alike, as well as protecting the historical integrity of the hamlet.

Save Bridgehampton Main Street, a group of concerned residents who have organized to block CVS from opening a store, was formed shortly after the CVS was proposed.

In October, the Southampton Town Planning Board unanimously voted to require an Environmental Impact Statement for the site, noting potential impacts the pharmacy could have on traffic and the overall character of the hamlet. The study was called for as part of an overall New York State Environmental Quality Review Act

determination.

About a month later, CVS Caremark filed a lawsuit against the planning board, asking the court to overturn the board’s decision to require the environmental review on the property before it could be approved.

Save Bridgehampton Main Street’s Facebook page reflects the general dissent amongst locals and visitors alike, with one comment reading, “It doesn’t take much thought to realize that a CVS at the proposed Bridgehampton location makes any sense for the village.

Just look at the traffic generated by the CVS in Southampton,

which incidentally has plenty of parking, and envision a similar traffic situation at this location. All summer and weekday traffic heading East passes through Bridgehampton Village and generally causes a ‘bumper to bumper’ situation at least three miles before the village.

Just imagine the traffic logjam with traffic entering and exiting from this location.”

The town board is currently standing by the planning board’s motion to require an extensive EIS for the project. No decision on the suit had been reached as of press time and work on the site has stalled.

Undefeated Tuckers Win Nailbiter

By Rick Murphy

League VIII by taking out Mercy 7-4 Friday on the loser’s field. Aiden Roughan got the win and Nick Knobel and Danny Backman combined for four hits.

Southold (10-4) took two of three from the Pierson/Bridgehampton Whalers to take a two game lead in League IX. Luke Hansen, pitching at home, shut down Pierson on Friday 6-3. Greg Gehring and Hansen combined for four hits for the winners.

Pierson won at home against Southold last Thursday, 6-4, with Theo Gray earning the victory and Ryan Chisholm a save. Luke Denis had two hits. Earlier in the week, Southold took the opener of the series in an 1 epic battle, 4-3. Pat Hampton Daze 2x3 filler:Layout 4/13/15 11:24 AM Page 1

The best baseball program on the East End? Say hello to the Mattituck Tuckers. Last season’s Long Island Class B champs may be even better this year – as of this writing they’ve got a perfect 12-0 record, good for first place League VIII. Friday the locals traveled to Babylon and blew away the home team, 12-3. Marcos Perivolaris did the honors on the hill, and Victor Proferes and Ian Nish led a devastating attack that produced nine third inning runs. Babylon dropped to 9-3.

Last Wednesday, playing at home, the Tuckers prevailed in a squeaker against the same opponent, 6-5.

Nish was at it again, going 2-3 with a home run, and Joe Tardif delivered the key blast, a three run dinger in the third. Chris Dwyer recorded a four-out save.

Mattituck took the opener of the series, 6-1 with Tardif on the hill.

Nish went 3-3 with two ribbies and Will Gildersleeve slashed two hits.

Southampton moved to 7-5 in

MacFarland drove in Liam Walker with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Alex Poliwada turned in a gritty effort on the mound, gutting it out for a complete game victory.

Westhampton is 9-3 in League VI, good for second place. Last Thursday, playing at home, the Hur-

ricanes were tested but prevailed, edging Comsewoque 2-1. Credit a gutsy effort by Nick Arpino, who singled in what turned out to be the winning run in the third and then stubbornly shut the door on the visitors, hurling a complete game four hitter. Daniel McAvoy had the other ribbie. The losers dropped to 7-3.
