IMPERFECT, BUT HAS POTENTIAL

BY CHRISTINE SAMPSON

THE MAIDEN RUN of the South Fork Commuter Connection went off as planned Monday morning despite snow, sleet and slush — and some confusion.

When the train that would be the 6:16 a.m. eastbound South Fork trip rolled into Speonk, a handful of westbound travelers approached the doors, wondering if their 6:20 a.m. ride was early. Eventually, that familiar, automated Long Island Rail Road voice began its “this is the train to…”

According to a Southampton Town news release, on Monday, 15 passengers rode the 6:16 a.m. Speonk train and 12 passengers rode the 8:26 a.m.

Hampton Bays train. Ridership data for subsequent days were not available by press time Wednesday.

There was some confusion over how

to purchase South Fork Commuter Connection tickets. Using the ticket machine at the station, some bought a standard higher-priced eastbound ticket, which did not include a transfer ticket for the town-sponsored “Last Mile” shuttle buses. Others skipped buying a ticket in advance, opting to try buying it on the train, because long lines at the ticket machine might have meant missing the train altogether.

It turned out the $4.25 one-way

Buddhist Monk Comes to Ross

T

enzin Yignyen, a Buddhist monk and visiting professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, will return to the Ross School on Monday, March 18, for a weeklong visit to share his message of compassion with the East End community. Lama Tenzin’s visit each year offers the community the opportunity to learn more about the principles of Buddhist philosophy, including the importance of mindfulness, meditation and acting with compassion. The monk will hold a lecture on March 21 at 6 p.m., open to the public and free of charge, on the tenets of Buddhism and providing insights into how they can be practiced in our daily lives.

In past years, Lama Tenzin’s address to the community has reminded its members to be mindful in their interactions with others and offered guidance in achieving a shared, universal hope of being happy. “Happiness cannot be found in physical things like money,” Lama Tenzin said at last year’s lecture.

“Profound happiness comes from the heart.”

The preeminent highlight of Lama Tenzin’s annual visit is his construction of an intricate sand mandala,

The ceremony symbolizes the Buddhist principle of non-attachment, the idea that nothing — neither possessions, relationships, nor accomplishments — is permanent. “We are human beings,” says the monk, “with marvelous hearts and minds, not machines. We must act like human beings.”

Lys, Schiavoni to Speak at League Forum

T

he League of Women Voters of the Hamptons will host a forum next week with the newest members of the East Hampton and Southampton town boards — David Lys and Tommy John Schiavoni.

r. Christine Asaro, DVM, the medical director for the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons in Wainscott, returned in early February from a medical mission to provide volunteer spay and neuter services in Puerto Rico.

Working with the non-profit organization ViDAS, Dr. Asaro donated her time to their current mission, The Spayathon for Puerto Rico. Participating in one of the organization’s four clinics to be held on the island, the six-day trip from February 3 to 9 aided in 3,406 animals being safely spayed/neutered and vaccinated, according to a press release issued by ARF late last week.

ARF has had a commitment to helping homeless animals on Puerto

Rico for over a decade. Shortly after Hurricane Maria in 2017, ARF team members headed to Puerto Rico for two rescue missions that brought more than 200 animals to safety on Long Island to the Adoption Center in Wainscott. According to ARF officials, since the devastation, pet overpopulation has become an increasing problem. Dr. Asaro knew she could do more to help and applied to ViDAS. Established in 2002, ViDAS (Veterinarios Internacionales Dedicados a Animales Sanos - International Veterinarians Dedicated to Animal Health) helps assemble teams to travel internationally to areas of need providing free spay and neuter services for dogs and cats.

Correction In the article “Volunteerism’s Decline Affects Budgeting for Emergency Services” published in the February 28 issue of The Sag Harbor Express, we incorrectly reported the Sag Harbor Fire Department was looking for staff when in fact it was asking for a new chief’s vehicle, allowing an older vehicle to be given to a elected duty captain, which is a volunteer, elected position.

Police East Hampton Man Faces Charges in Alleged Cryptocurrency Scheme Randall Crater, 48, of East Hampton was indicted February 27 by the United States Department of Justice for his alleged involvement in “a purported cryptocurrency and virtual payment services company” that schemed to “defraud investors by marketing and selling fraudulent virtual currency,” according to a Department of Justice news release.

Mr. Crater was arrested February 27, charged with four counts of wire fraud and three counts of unlawful monetary transactions. His attorney, Ray Chandler of South Carolina, vigorously denied the charges and said Mr. Crater will plead not guilty when he appears in United States District Court in Boston, Massachusetts, on March 14.

The indictment alleges Mr. Crater and others created a fake cryptocurrency company called “My Big Coins,” falsely stating the “Coins” were backed by actual assets like gold. The Department of Justice has said, “Coins were not backed by gold or any other valuable assets and were not readily transferable. ...

Instead, Crater allegedly misappropriated over $6 million in investor funds for personal use, including to purchase artwork, antiques, jewelry and other luxury items.”

Mr. Chandler said his client invested hundreds of thousands of his own money in the company, which he described as a legitimate cryptocurrency entity that actually was backed by gold and other assets, and said Mr. Crater’s involvement was a licensing agreement to develop technology for the company.

“You don’t put your own money into a process if you are attempting to steal from others,” Mr. Chandler said.

Whereas the indictment also alleges customers were fraudulently told they could access a credit card attached to their cryptocurrency assets, Mr. Chandler said he has evidence that there was indeed a credit card agreement in place.

Mr. Crater, who was released on a $50,000 unsecured bond, has multiple addresses, including a South Carolina address in addition to East Hampton.

“We look forward to the opportunity to finally establish the true facts of this and what his real involvement is,” Mr. Chandler said.

• A bookkeeper for two local restaurants that are under the

same ownership came to Sag Harbor Village Police headquarters on February 27 to report the theft of more than $55,000 from the restaurants’ accounts.

According to a police report, it appeared several fraudulent charges had been made to pay off personal credit cards dating back to sometime in September of 2018. An investigation into the incident, which is considered second-degree grand larceny, is ongoing.

• A passerby smelled gasoline near the corner of Main Street and Bay Street in Sag Harbor on March 2 at around 9:11 p.m. and contacted Sag Harbor Village Police. According to a police report, officers and Sag Harbor Fire Department chiefs who responded also noticed the smell of gasoline also on Division Street, but could not find anything else out-of-theordinary. Shortly after, Southampton Town Police also received a call about the smell of gasoline in the air, this time in the area of Mount Misery off of Sagg Road. The fire chiefs later confirmed there was a vehicle leaking gasoline that traveled through Sag Harbor Village on its way to Mount Misery.

• While on routine patrol early Sunday morning, Sag Harbor Village Police Officer Nick Samot noticed a fence at a house at the corner of Main Street and Union Street that appeared to have been struck by a vehicle that then left the scene of the accident. According to a police report, Officer Samot found the fence at 2:35 a.m. but could not find any car parts left at the scene, and canvassed the area for a vehicle showing signs of damage. His search did not turn up any results. Later in the morning, police attempted to contact the owner by visiting the house, but no one was home.

• An 84-year-old resident of Lighthouse Lane reported March 2 to Sag Harbor Village Police she thought she saw someone trespassing on her property at 1:30 a.m. that day.

According to a police report, she said she was looking out a second-floor window when she thought she saw flashing cell phone lights. Around sunrise, the woman reported, she thought she saw her landscaping had been “thinned out.”

When police arrived to investigate, they determined all was normal.

• Erik P. Sallinger, 48, of Sag Harbor was arrested February

26 by East Hampton Town Police and charged with seventhdegree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor. According to a police report, Mr. Sallinger was stopped by police at approximately 1:10 p.m. on Accabonac Road near Town Lane, and was found to be in possession of a white substance, powdery and rock-like in nature, that later tested positive for the presence of cocaine. He was arrested at 1:23 p.m. and was released on his own recognizance after being issued an appearance ticket.

• Luis A. Pajoc-Xuya, 27, of Springs was arrested February 24 by East Hampton Town Police and charged with firstoffense driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, after allegedly leaving the scene of a car accident. According to a police report, Mr. Pajoc-Xuya was involved in an accident on Spinner Lane near Floyd Street in East Hampton at about 9:47 p.m., but drove away. He was located by East Hampton Village Police in a parking lot on Pantigo Road about 45 minutes later. Police said they observed him to be intoxicated and said he performed poorly on field sobriety tests. He was arrested at 10:29 p.m. and was released on his own recognizance following his arraignment the next day.

• Francis J. Barone, 62, of Montauk was arrested on a bench warrant February 25 by East Hampton Town Police and was additionally charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor. According to a police report, an East Hampton officer pulled over a car driven by another person for an alleged traffic violation on Carl Fisher Plaza in Montauk, and determined the passenger, Mr. Barone, had active warrants in both East Hampton Town and Southampton Village. He was arrested at 4:43 p.m. and was transported to East Hampton headquarters for processing.

While officers were taking inventory of Mr. Barone’s possessions, they found five wax envelopes containing a substance that later tested positive for the presence of heroin, leading to the possession charge. He was released on his own recognizance following his morning arraignment in East Hampton Town Justice Court but was then turned over to Southampton Village Police.

Budget Is Under Tax Cap

ARB Smiles on Cinema Revision

BY CHRISTINE SAMPSON

The Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center will now have the ability to offer virtual reality programming, after Sag Harbor’s Board of Historic Preservation and Architectural Review signed off on plans that the cinema’s management updated mid-construction.

The review board last Thursday approved a 38.5-foot building height to accommodate a 400-square-foot, thirdfloor room with a 12-foot ceiling that the Sag Harbor Partnership has said will be dedicated to virtual reality programming. Architect Allen Kopelson had explained during multiple appearances before the review board that virtual reality spaces have to be at least 12 feet tall.

The virtual reality space fits into a larger plan for a new third floor addition that the review board approved last Thursday. Originally, the height of the whole third floor was 38.5 feet to accommodate a 12-foot ceiling, but Mr. Kopelson scaled it back in response to feedback from the review board. Now, the office spaces planned for the rest of the 1,262-square-foot addition will have a 9-foot ceiling height.

The modified plans also include a 366-square-foot roof terrace in the rear

Addition will include terrace and space for VR programming of the building. Initially, that component also included a sun screen that extended over the edge of the building and protruded over the cinema’s property line. That was eliminated from the plans. The rear roof deck is the second such area on the third floor; the original plans, approved in April 2018, include a terrace toward the front of the building, too.

In response to queries from the review board, Mr. Kopelson produced drawings showing that, unlike on the front terrace, on the rear terrace people will be visible from streets behind the cinema such as Meadow Street or Rose Street.

“You’ll see some heads at the rail of the terrace,” he acknowledged.

Review board chairman Dean Gomolka said, “I think it looks great.”

“I think you’ve listened, which I appreciate, and took care of it,” board member Bethany Deyermond added, and the board approved the cinema’s

proposal 4-0 with member David Berridge absent.

Mr. Kopelson said Monday that the review board’s approval had been holding them up. The Sag Harbor Planning Board has yet to sign off on the updated site plan, but is expected to do so later this month.

“We now can move ahead with ordering our steel,” Mr. Kopelson said.

“Once we have that, we are putting the roof on and will enclose our building.

It will progress nicely now in terms of seeing some progress as we move forward.”

Board Starts Examining New Townhouse Plans Having scaled down one of his three proposed West Water Street townhouse units by about a third, down to 5,780 square feet, representatives of developer Jay Bialsky presented the revised proposal to the review board on Thursday. The new plan is slated for a public hearing on Thursday, March 14, at 5 p.m. before the board.

In addition to the reduction in square footage, the rear of the building has been lightened up with glass and

Bridgehampton School District officials have trimmed their proposed 2019-2020 budget to bring it below the state-mandated cap on tax levy increases, according to a presentation made to the Bridgehampton School Board on Wednesday, February 27.

School business administrator Melisa Stiles said the district’s Budget Advisory Committee took a deeper dive and cut the spending plan to $18.73 million, which is down more than 3.8 percent from the $19.47 million shown in an early budget draft in January.

The school board reacted favorably to the updated budget, though it will reserve finalizing it until April 17.

The updated budget plan represents a nearly 15-percent increase in yearover-year spending above the current year’s budget of $16.3 million, but still fits within the state-mandated “2-percent tax cap,” as it’s usually called, for tax-levy increases. Bridgehampton’s proposed tax-levy increase has not been finalized yet.

In January, based on the estimated tax levy information the district did have, the proposal was $66,655 over the cap. The Budget Advisory Committee then cut more than $750,000 from “an out-of-district tuition expenditure,” according to superintendent Robert Hauser.

The district projects spending just under $343,000 more for students with special needs, including staffing, out-of-district tuition and transportation. The district is also budgeting almost $265,000 for increases in health insurance, $126,550 to hire new teachers and more than $173,500 for busing.

The district also has $373,370 in next year’s budget for the full salaries of the three new administrators it hired this year. Their salaries had less of an impact this year because they were hired mid-year.

Correcting a miscalculation will help Stephen Loeffler move one step closer to converting a former plumbing shop that is now a warehouse at 152 Hampton Road (Route 114) into a six-unit office complex.

The realization his proposal contained a basic error came after he presented a revised plan to the Sag Harbor Board of Zoning Appeals on February 27 that cut back on the surfaces devoted to permeable walkways and driveways on the half-acre lot.

His goal in making the changes was to reduce the total lot-coverage variance required for the project from 41 percent to 36.3 percent, where 25 percent is the maximum amount of total lot coverage allowed in residential zones.

He revised the proposal in response to board members who had resisted the amount of driveways, walkways and parking surfaces included in the project when his application was first aired before the board in January.

“Any place we could adjust our permeable surfaces, we did,” Mr. Loeffler told board members last week.

During the discussion, board members and their attorney Denise Schoen realized Mr. Loeffler had included permeable walkways and access driveways as structures when he computed how much of the parcel would be covered and the extent of the variances he would need.

As Ms. Schoen noted, driveways and walkways are not structures, whether they are permeable or not, so should not have been included. “Honestly, I don’t think you’ll need a total lot coverage variance” after his calculations are revised, she commented.

Without the proposed permeable surfaces included, Mr. Loeffler said, total lot coverage will be 21 percent, well below the 25-percent maximum set by the code.

Ms. Schoen suggested that the board hold a straw poll on the question of whether it was willing to grant “a single variance for the landscaping plan,” which will cover 5.7-percent less than the 50-percent of the parcel required for vegetated area by the zoning code.

“I think this is a building and a facility that will be a benefit to the community,” ZBA chairman Robby Stein said just before the vote, “so in terms of where we can facilitate things and

make it accessible to the community, what I think you’re doing is very positive and I appreciate that.”

He said that, by using permeable surfaces, Mr. Loeffler had “satisfied what my concern was.”

The board, with two members absent, voted 3-0 to support a variance from the minimum required vegetative area and to ask Ms. Schoen to draft a decision to be voted at the board’s next monthly meeting on March 19.

The proposal, for which the Appeals Board granted a change of use variance from residential in 1987 — at a time when zoning variances did not expire — will still require approval from the Board of Historic Preservation and Architectural Review.

Other Decisions Also last week, the Appeals Board agreed by 3-0 votes to grant variances sought by two applicants: Jeffery Rosenberg, for the construction of a pool, spa and septic-system retaining wall at 62 John Street, where a modest one-story bungalow on Upper Sag Harbor Cove will be replaced by a new two-story house; and Sag Harbor Main Property Corp, for a sky plane variance to add a two-story addition and a patio on the rear of the house at 311 Main Street, on a narrow lot just north of Otter Pond.

In addition to their straw vote in the Loeffler application, the board agreed by 3-0 votes to ask their attorney to draft decisions granting variances, to be approved at the March 19 meeting, on the applications of: David Florence for several setback variances to allow for the construction of a pool and additions to the house at 11 West Henry Street; and Judy and Rod Gilbert for a sky plane variance to allow for a second story addition to be erected on a house at 148 Redwood Road.

The board adjourned until March 19 the continuing hearing on the controversial application of Mark J. Madden for variances to allow for the construction of first- and second-floor addition to the house at 11 Carver Street, which Mr. Madden requested; and the application of Adam Scott and Chris Beacham for variances to build additions, a pool and a patio at 5 Vickers Street. The applicants have modified the plan to exclude a retaining wall and the pool and build instead a hot tub with a small patio.

Most Crime in Town Hits a Five-Year Low

Gruber Is Picked for Super Run

DWI arrests drop to a 10-year low; property and personal crimes take a big drop; chief credited with ‘exceptional’ community outreach

BY KATHRYN G. MENU

After seeing a surge in arrests and calls for service in 2017, the East Hampton Town Police Department reported a decline in crime in 2018.

According to the department’s annual report, in 2018 it made 161 fewer arrests, down from 970 in 2017 to 809 in 2018. Overall calls for service also decreased from 20,005 in 2017 to 18,079 in 2018.

“Following a nationwide pattern in 2018, we saw a reduction in serious crime within the Town of East Hampton,” said East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo during the East Hampton Town Board’s work session Tuesday at East Hampton Town Hall.

“We also experienced an overall reduction in our total calls for service.

After a steady increase over the past 10 years or so, this is the first significant drop in our overall calls for service” in that time.

Chief Sarlo said property and personal crimes were also at a five-year low across the board including burglaries, larceny, criminal mischief, assault and harassment cases, with traffic accidents also at a record low since 2013 with 878 reported in 2018 compared to 954 in 2017, 949 in 2016 and 984 in 2015.

“However, unfortunately, we still have 152 personal injury accidents and two fatalities,” and “obviously any more than zero is too many,” said Chief Sarlo.

Driving while intoxicated arrests were at a 10-year low in 2018, according to the annual report, with 140 reported compared to 214 in 2017.

“We must always remain vigilant in the enforcement of these laws to ensure the safety of the entire community,” said Chief Sarlo.

Public safety violations, including noise complaints — residential and commercial — were also at five-year lows for 2018, as were commercial summonses relating to public safety.

“This number indicates better work by bars and restaurants and increased

communication between all town agencies and the businesses themselves,” said Chief Sarlo.

According to the report, town code summons decreased from 759 to 566 from 2017 to 2018. Commercial noise complaints are down to 55 from 81 although commercial noise summons held steady at 13.

Despite these numbers, Chief Sarlo noted the department was tested significantly in 2018 — namely with the fatal plane crash on June 2 off Amagansett that claimed the lives of Ben and Bonnie Krupinski, their grandson, William Maerov and pilot Jon Dollard. In the aftermath of the crash, which occurred in the Atlantic Ocean just off Indian Wells beach, the department led the search for the Krupinskis’ plane, its dive team recovering wreckage and the body of Mr. Dollard a little less than a week after the crash.

“With this tragic plane crash of the past spring, our dive team training was seriously put to the test,” said Chief Sarlo.

Chief Sarlo also noted a drug bust in August in Montauk netted more than a dozen employees of bars and restaurant, who were charged with selling drugs out of those establishments. Arthur Scalzo was named the department’s Police Officer of the Year for his work on that narcotics investigation, which Chief Sarlo said on Tuesday was “instrumental” to that investigation’s success.

“I think it bears out in the statistics you have presented just how effective it has been,” said Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc. “We have seen a drop in crime, we have seen much better compliance in town regulations as a result and that is not by accident. It is by great leadership and dedication.

We are very proud of our force here in the town. In addition, I think the way you involve and communicate with the community is exceptional and our officials are highly, professionally trained. We just want to take this opportunity to thank them all.”

Independence Party backs former Dem Party chairman

described Mr. Schneiderman as a professional politician who is interested in advancing his career and moving on from his town post.

“I’m just a guy who cares,” he added.

He challenged the supervisor’s claim that the tax rate has not increased under his leadership. Noting that he has lived in the Bay View Oaks community in North Sea for over 50 years, he said his house there hasn’t been changed in all that time and yet his tax bill has gone up steadily as property values have risen. He called Mr. Schneiderman’s claim “a misrepresentation.”

“We’re being reassessed out of our homes,” he said of local people with moderate incomes, questioning why the town conducts annual reassessments.

Responding to Mr. Robins’ comments, Mr. Schneiderman — the Democratic nominee who was also endorsed last week by the Southampton Town Independence Party — noted

The East Hampton Independence Party last week nominated former town Democratic leader and party guru David Gruber to run for town supervisor against Democratic incumbent Peter Van Scoyoc and Republican challenger Richard Myers.

A veteran player on the town’s Democratic Committee who broke ranks last year to help establish a caucus called the Reform Democrats, Mr. Gruber lost a primary election last September to the Democratic nominee for Town Board, incumbent David Lys. Mr. Gruber said on Tuesday he is again challenging the Democratic committee, this time seeking to mount a primary to knock Mr. Van Scoyoc off the ticket in the race for supervisor.

Mr. Gruber’s name was not on the list of candidates released last week by the Reform Democrats, who announced what they called a fusion ticket of Republicans and Democrats for all town races except supervisor.

Except in the supervisor’s race, three political groups — the Independence Party, the Reform Democrats and the town’s Republican Committee — have all cross-endorsed the same slate to do battle with the Democratic line-up.

Asked why Mr. Gruber was not crowned as the head of her ticket, Reform Party founder Rona Klopman said only, “We’re going to discuss that at a later date with our party.”

Mr. Gruber wrote in an email, “Rona is correct. The focus the past two weeks has been on pulling together a fusion ticket. The Reform Dems have to decide whether to make an endorsement in the supervisor’s race because I am primarying in the Democratic party in addition to having the Independence party endorsement. So there are currently three supervisor candidates. The Reform Democrats

Southampton

Challenge Set for Supervisor

BY PETER BOODY

Greg Robins, a veteran North Sea fireman and community leader, has been nominated by the Southampton Town Republican Committee to challenge incumbent Democrat Jay Schneiderman for town supervisor in the 2019 general election.

The GOP tapped Mr. Robins, 69, a chairman of the town Republican Committee in the 1980s and a current commissioner of the North Sea Fire District, last week after Councilwoman Christine Scalera decided not to run for supervisor, leaving the party without a candidate when it held its nominating convention on February 20.

In a phone interview on Monday, Mr. Robins said he had told Republican Committee Chairman David Betts last summer that he was interested in running for a council seat, so “I was kind of in the bull pen warming up when Chris decided not to run,” Mr. Robins said.

He said he had “run into Mr. Betts while I was in the booth making hot

Greg Robins to face Jay Schneiderman for town’s top seat dogs at the [North Sea Fire Department’s] carnival,” and told him that he wanted to run for a council seat because he had “a lot of concerns about the town.”

“I don’t dislike Jay Schneiderman,” he said, recalling a quip the supervisor made when he was a county legislator attending an Eagle Scout ceremony for Mr. Robins’ second son to achieve the ranking: “I never thought I’d see a robin give birth to two eagles,” he quoted the supervisor as saying.

Mr. Robins said the quip was clever “but I need more than that sitting in Town Hall.”

Citing Mr. Schneiderman’s unsuccessful campaign for county comptroller last year in the middle of his second term as town supervisor, he

Plan to Restore SALT Deductions County Executive Steve Bellone hopes to battle federal tax ruling

Sag Harbor

Fundraiser Ongoing for Student Who Lost His Father Too Soon Funds will help fulfill dream of college education

BY CAILIN RILEY

There is a Polish saying: “Jakos to bedzie,” which translates, loosely, to “whatever happens, happens.” It’s a phrase that Danek Zasada often repeated to his 18-year-old son, Borys, whenever he was going through a tough time. Borys has been holding those words especially close to his heart lately, after the sudden passing of his father on January 1.

Mr. Zasada, a Sag Harbor resident, suffered a burst aorta unexpectedly on New Year’s night. He left behind his only child, and wife, Agnieszka Zasada.

Mr. Zasada’s death is obviously a tragedy, not only because of his sudden loss but because he was still in the middle of what he considered his most vital job as a parent — saving money for his only child to attend college. It was, according to his family, the most important goal in his life. With Borys currently in his senior year at Pierson High School, the family has set up a GoFundMe to contribute to Borys’s college fund for those who would like to extend their support and sympathies for the family. Mr. Zasada’s older sister, Monika Zasada, said she set up the page after an outpouring of requests from friends and others who wanted to know how they could help the family.

Borys has been doing his best to cope with the sudden loss of his father while in the middle of his senior year at Pierson. He has currently been accepted to a few colleges, and is waiting to hear back from his top choices — Fordham University, Georgetown and Clark. Until then, he’s keeping “jakos to bedzie” in mind.

“He would always tell me that, whenever I was worried,” Borys said last week, while on a break from his job at the Sag Harbor Gym. “The meaning of it is basically that every-

thing will work out in the end. Maybe, in the moment, you’re having a bad spell but the opportunity created because of that will allow it to work out in the end.”

When sharing those words with his son, Mr. Zasada spoke from experience. The Zasada family is, in so many ways, the embodiment of an immigrant success story. They arrived from their native Poland when Borys was only a year old. Mr. Zasada took a job working in Schiavoni’s IGA, but always had bigger dreams. He felt drawn toward carpentry, and taught himself the trade, according to his older sister, Monika, who also lives in Sag Harbor, emigrating to the states ahead of her older brother. (They are the eldest two of four children.) Mr. Zasada voraciously read any books he could get his hands on about carpentry and construction, working as a helper on construction jobs, and before long, started his own business, Agda Properties, doing everything from framing through window and door installation to exterior trim, siding, and interior carpentry.

“We ended up being pretty in awe of his ability, for someone who was not necessarily talented in manual labor or mathematics,” his sister said.

Mr. Zasada worked as a counselor in a juvenile delinquent center when he still lived in Poland, which perhaps had something to do with his strong belief in the value of higher education, and his desire to pass that on to his child.

Mr. Zasada’s sister said she did not intend to settle permanently in Sag Harbor, but fell in love with the town after visiting in the winter.

“It was a cold day, and all the lights were on in people’s homes, and it just felt like a fairy tale,” she said.

The Zasada family is from northern Poland, near the Baltic Sea, and so appreciated the proximity to the ocean

that the town provides. She said they were also interested in being in the vicinity of New York City.

Ms. Zasada described her brother as a “curious” man, a trait he seemed to pass on to his son, whom she said shares a lot of his father’s qualities.

“I see Danek in Borys in the sense that he’s very talkative and loves a good argument,” Ms. Zasada said. “He also doesn’t shy away from a situation in which he’s the only person presenting a completely different point of view.

“Danek wanted for Borys to just have as much of an opportunity to higher education as possible,” she added. “Perhaps he felt that as an immigrant, it was even more important.”

Borys seems determined to fulfill his father’s wish and make him proud.

He is hoping to study psychology.

Two weeks after his father’s death, Borys says he started writing essays and letters about topics and concepts he and his father had talked about or debated during time alone together, whether at home or in the car on the way to the gym to workout. They were close, and spent a lot of time together working out or playing soccer. (Borys was a member of the Pierson soccer team.) He says the writing has been therapeutic, and he’s shared it with friends and teachers, who have given him positive feedback.

It’s also helped him put his thoughts and feelings in perspective in what has been a difficult time.

“Life isn’t always going to be cherry blossoms or happiness,” he said. “You have to have the attitude that, despite the circumstances, you’re equipped, whether you realize it or not, to deal with it.

“I mourn him every single day,” Borys continued. “But I still have to do something that I think gives my life purpose. He always thought education was exactly that.”

Town likely to hold on deal continued from page 1 Pressed by former CAC member Si Kinsella to promise that no easement would be granted until the PSC review is complete, Mr. Van Scoyoc acknowledged “there have been a lot of changes” in the plan in recent months, including a new owner and an increase in proposed output from 90 to 130 megawatts.

“Initially, I did not think we needed the Article 7 process completed to sign” an easement agreement, said Mr. Van Scoyoc. “I’m no longer sure that’s the way to go,” he added. “We think that process will probably be completed before we sign any agreement.”

There was a delay in the crowd’s reaction as CAC member Rick Del Mastro continued to pepper Mr. Van Scoyoc with critical questions. But after Councilman Jeff Bragman, the Town Board’s liaison to the Wainscott CAC and a thorn in Mr. Van Scoyoc’s side over the wind farm and other issues, turned the crowd’s attention back to what the supervisor had just said.

“That’s a big deal,” he commented.

With no Article 7 review yet scheduled because the wind farm application is still incomplete, Mr. Van Scoyoc’s prediction means it could be a long time, perhaps years, before the town would agree to grant a cable

easement that would extend from Beach Lane and through Wainscott to the Cove Hollow LIPA substation.

Mr. Bragman has clashed with Mr. Van Scoyoc and two other Town Board members, Sylvia Overby and Kathee Burke Gonzales — all fellow Democrats. With Councilman David Lys siding with Mr. Bragman, the board voted 3-2 last year to allow easement discussions to begin and again in February by the same margin to let the new owner of the former Deepwater Wind project, Orsted U.S. Offshore Wind, to conduct test borings along the Beach Lane cable route.

Just last month, Eversource of New England announced it had purchased a 50-percent share in the formerDeepwater, now-Orsted project.

Mr. Bragman has argued that the town lacked the expertise and funding to properly assess all the economic and environmental impacts of the project and had no reason to grant Deepwater or its successors anything until the state review of the project was completed.

“My view is the project is either under the state’s jurisdiction or not,” he told the CAC crowd on Saturday. “A major focus will be alternatives. My point is we shouldn’t be doing any business with the applicant outside of” the PSC review.

Mr. Van Scoyoc has argued — and continued to do so before the CAC Sat-

urday — that the town was “not committing to anything” in opening talks or allowing test borings to proceed.

“The board is not representing our citizens,” said a man in the audience Saturday. “We need this board to go back and correct” its votes. “What’s motivating these 3-to-2 votes is beyond me,” he said.

“You let the rooster into the henhouse,” said Mr. Del Mastro, with those two Town Board 3-2 votes.

The crowd was there to hear State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., who came to address the CAC about the wind farm and other issues. He made headlines last month that proclaimed he had withdrawn his support for the project by scolding Orsted publicly for a lack of transparency and honesty.

Asked if he would have allowed the company to conduct test borings, Mr. Thiele drew laughs when he said, “I’m going to leave that to the Town Board.

I know my jurisdiction.”

But he added, “I’m not taking a position until the Article 7 is complete — and I think that answers your question.”

Mr. Thiele said he would be introducing legislation in Albany this week to require LIPA, which signed an agreement with Deepwater to buy electricity from the proposed wind farm, to make the terms of the contract public.

LIPA refuses to release it and, under its terms, has barred Deepwater — now Orsted — from releasing it.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone announced Tuesday that the county has created what he called a comprehensive action plan to protect homeowners negatively impacted by new federal tax laws that significantly limit state and local tax deductions. Titled “The SALT Cap Response Plan,” Mr. Bellone said on Tuesday it will help restore tax deductibility for affected homeowners and ease the financial burden of the change in federal tax law.

“My message to the IRS is clear – if you try to stop us from protecting our SALT deductions, we will see you in court,” said Mr. Bellone at Tuesday’s press conference. “Governor Cuomo took the lead in fighting back against the federal SALT tax law with a plan to protect localities, and today, we are following that guidance prescribed by state law. And while we continue to push for Congress to restore these tax deductions, Suffolk County will not wait for Washington to act.”

Pursuant to the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, deductions for state and local taxes, including sales, income and property taxes, are now limited — a limitation that has burdened residents in New York and especially Suffolk County, said Mr. Bellone. The combined amount claimed for these taxes may not exceed $10,000, or $5,000 for married taxpayers filing separately. Prior to the new federal tax law, SALT deductions were not capped.

A recent audit conducted by the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that nearly 11 million Americans would have lost a combined $323 billion in deductions if the new federal SALT tax law would have been in place for 2017. On Long Island, the impact of SALT is even more acute. According to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center in Washington, a total of nearly 530,000 homeowners, or more than one in three tax filers in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, are affected by the SALT cap.

According to Mr. Bellone, the New York State Comptroller estimates that New York sent $24 billion more in tax payments to Washington than it got back in federal spending last fiscal year.

In 2018, Governor Cuomo and the

New York State Legislature enacted a series of bipartisan reforms to the New York State tax code designed to protect New York residents from the adverse impacts of the federal law.

Among these reforms, the new legislation authorized local governments and school districts to establish charitable gift reserve funds and to offer real property tax credits to incentivize contributions.

As a part of the SALT Cap Response plan, Mr. Bellone has introduced a resolution that would establish a charitable gift reserve fund and authorize charitable gift reserve fund tax credits. This would authorize any owner of real property located within the County to make a contribution to the Suffolk County Charitable Gift Reserve Fund and claim credit against such property taxes equal to 95 percent of that contribution. The County resolution complies with Governor Cuomo’s New York State-passed provision to allow taxpayers to make a voluntary charitable contribution to a charitable gift reserve fund, so long as such fund is established by a given local government.

Mr. Bellone said he also planned to continue efforts to work on restoring SALT deductions on the federal level, and said the county will take steps to mitigate the impact on the housing market by reducing mortgage fees and freezing them in place for three years.

The county has also unveiled a new webpage to provide residents with information and announced that the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning will conduct an economic analysis of the SALT impact in Suffolk County. The report will begin after a majority of residents file their taxes on April 15.

Southampton Town Approves Community Choice Aggregation Energy Program

The Southampton Town Board voted unanimously on February 26 to look at establishing a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Energy Program. The New York State approved CCA program may give ratepayers, as a group, the ability to find cheaper

rates through a competitive bidding process than currently available from the Long Island Power Authority, to advance the Town’s efforts to achieve 100 percent renewable electric energy by 2025 and to make a significant impact on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The approved local legislation begins a process of evaluating the potential of the CCA program.

The CCA program was first proposed by the Town’s Sustainability Committee and its chair of the energy sub-committee, Lynn Arthur. The towns of East Hampton and Brookhaven have expressed interest in learning more about the Southampton CCA and could join with the Town program in the future. The Town of Brookhaven is currently establishing an exploratory committee to investigate CCA. After passing the resolution on February 26, the Town now has the local authority to seek the expertise of a CCA administrator to evaluate the potential of the CCA program for Southampton ratepayers.

Moody’s Says Southampton Looks Good

The Town of Southampton announced last week that Moody’s Investor Service’s has continued to rate the town at its highest designation. In its annual comment about the town, the rating agency noted “the credit position for Southampton Town is exceptional, and its Aaa rating is notably stronger than the U.S. cities median of Aa3.”

The report states the Town has a “robust financial position” with a cash balance slightly above the median in the United States. The rating agency also finds Southampton Town’s economy and tax base are “exceptionally healthy” and are aligned with its Aaa rating. The total full value, $60.7 billion, in 2017, $63.7 billion in 2018 and $67 billion in 2019, is significantly above the U.S. median.

“This latest profile gives us confidence that our conservative financial budget measures, under the leadership of Comptroller Leonard Marchese and supported by the Town Board, are working,” said Supervisor Jay Schneiderman.

Lawyerly Advice

A Healthy Use Of Money

R

ecent developments have supported Councilman Jeff Bragman’s argument that the Town of East Hampton should be doing nothing to assist, support or even cooperate with the developer of the South Fork Wind Farm while it is awaiting the completion of a review of the project’s impacts by the New York State Public Service Commission.

No matter how much reasonable people dread global warming’s catastrophic impacts and want green energy and sustainable resources to eliminate the need to burn fossil fuels, extreme caution is still required when a foreign corporation is pushing to build a $1.6-billion-plus, 15-turbine, 130-megawatt offshore facility to generate power at a profit for the South Fork.

That’s why Mr. Bragman called it “a big deal” when Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc, speaking at a meeting of the Wainscott Citizens Advisory Committee on Saturday, acknowledged “there have been a lot of changes” in the project in recent months and that he was “no longer sure” that it was unnecessary to wait for the PSC’s review to be completed before granting the developer an easement to bring the project’s transmission cable ashore at Beach Lane.

“We think that process will probably complete before we sign any agreement,” he said.

Mr. Van Scoyoc and Town Board members Sylvia Overby and Kathee Burke-Gonzalez have argued since last year there is no harm, or commitment implied, in negotiating an easement with in exchange for a multi-million-dollar corporate goodie-bag package for the town. Last year they voted to begin those discussions with the developer.

The same three-person majority also voted just last month to allow the developer — formerly Deepwater Wind, now Denmark-based Orsted and its New Englandbased partner, Eversource — to conduct test borings of the substrata at Beach Lane.

Voting no were Mr. Bragman and David Lys, who has said he’s concerned about the project’s impact on the commercial fishing community.

Mr. Bragman has made a career as an attorney challenging development projects on environmental grounds. He’s good at it. With flare if not high drama, he knows how to chip away at the arguments of lumbering applicants with a pick axe of environmental righteousness. But as someone newly elected to the Town Board with a job to do — getting important things done for East Hampton Town, including energy independence — his vehement and vocal opposition to doing anything to assist Deepwater (now Orsted) came across as bomb-throwing political grandstanding.

Then, with Deepwater’s abrupt sale last year, a foreign owner suddenly became the town’s adversary in any talks.

Just as suddenly, the wind farm’s planned energy output rose last year from 90 to 130 megawatts. Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., the obvious point man for any project affecting the entire South Fork region, couldn’t schedule a meeting with Orsted and had to read about the company plans in the press. Last month he publicly blasted Orsted for its lack of transparency and honesty.

Mr. Bragman’s argument that the town should isolate itself from the project until the PSC’s “Article 7” impact review is complete now sounds like reasonable, lawyerly advice.

South Fork Connection

E

ven though turnout was low and there were a few small glitches for some riders when the South Fork Commuter Connection launched on March 4, it’s way too early to brand it a train to nowhere. Our bet is it will show the way to a better future for hundreds of drivers who have had to spend hours every summer week stuck in “trade parade” traffic.

The MTA, the LIRR, the Towns of East Hampton and Southampton and Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., who was the point man for this project as well, all deserve high praise for getting the service off the ground.

Now it’s time for patience, good marketing and the advent of warmer weather, which will jam up the Sunrise and Montauk Highways and inspire new commuters to leave their cars behind west of the Shinnecock Canal and ride to work on the South Fork.

The Walking Tour BY MICHAEL HELLER

Letters to the Editor School Could Serve a Need Dear Editor: This is in response to the story about the listing of the Ross Lower School on Butter Lane (Sag Harbor Express, February 21).

If you don’t use it, you lose it. This is especially true for those children and teenagers with autism, the latter of which who have already, or, are about to “age out” of the school system. A full 50 percent of those on the autism spectrum are so beset with sensory distortions — physical, visual, auditory and speech problems that they need a regime of occupational therapy (OT) so that their brains’ and bodies’ nerve cells get ongoing stimulation to keep connected to one another, and, from withering away on the vine so to speak.

Those who age out without any proper programs afterwards tend to regress. They need to continue a regime of OT to enhance and reinforce the connections between the

axons and dendrites to keep their nerve cells firing away.

For example, there are therapies for visual and auditory integration; proprioceptive therapies — simple examples of this are jumping on a trampoline, or riding on a horse, or swimming. Or, vestibular stimulation like swinging on various types of swings and in hammocks. These all lead to an individual learning to “self-regulate” their disregulated sensory systems that are either over-stimulated or under-stimulated. Not to mention the isolation that being aged out of the system brings.

A supportive campus tailored to these individuals’ needs would be a welcome addition to this underserved community. Based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s data, the rate of autism in 1970 was 1 in 10,000. By 2018 it was 1 in 36. As you can see, there’s a great need.

ack when I started as a reporter on Long Island in 1962, my newspaper, the Babylon Town Leader, covered a story about a woman who was refused admittance to Lakeside Hospital in Copiague because she didn’t have medical insurance. She returned to her car — and died in it.

That little private hospital is no more. Lakeside Hospital, which began as Nassau/Suffolk General Hospital in 1939, closed in 1975.

Since then, there has been the rise of great, new medical centers here.

Stony Brook University Medical Center was the first and also became a multi-school site for health education. I reported on the creation of this at the daily Long Island Press in the 1960s and ‘70s. Stony Brook was directed by the state to establish a hospital as well as a school of medicine, school of nursing and school of dental medicine.

How to do this was beyond the knowledge of the university’s two top administrators, both nuclear physicists. Thus Dr. Edmund Pellegrino was hired as a university vice president and School of Medicine dean. He was a medical visionary. He told me he saw medicine as having become a business, a commodity. His dream for the proposed hospital was for it to be patient-centered, personal and nurturing. He said that medicine should be a moral enterprise with a doctor having a “covenant” with his or her patients. And he wanted health education not narrowly focused but embracing the humanities and social sciences.

Before Dr. Pellegrino left Stony Brook to eventually become president of the Catholic University of America, he created the culture for health care and education at Stony Brook.

As the years have gone by, I’ve been treated by doctors at Stony Brook, and not for minor things. Last year, after falling on my head, causing huge twin hematomas to form in my skull, I was operated on by a superb neurosurgeon, Dr. Charles Mikell. He drilled holes — as scary as that sounds — in my head to successfully drain the deposits of blood and fluid.

Seven years ago I had two successful operations at Stony Brook for bladder cancer performed by world-class urologist Dr. Howard Adler. They were followed by treatments based on immunotherapy using — and this is a standard treatment — tuberculosis bacteria to stimulate the immune system and prevent a recurrence. There’s been no recurrence, most happily.

Now there’s been the rise of another medical center covering this region, Northwell Health. It came about with the merger of Long Island Jewish Medical Center and North Shore Health System in 1997. The private Northwell Health and the public Stony Brook compete — with Stony Brook in recent times merging with Southampton Hospital and affiliating with Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport. Northwell has a network today of 23 affiliated hospitals and other health facilities stretching throughout the New York Metro Area. It is linked to Hofstra University. Major hospitals, part of the Northwell network in Suffolk, include Mather in Port Jefferson, Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, Huntington Hospital, and Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead.

I was recently treated at Peconic Bay for cataract removal.

Optometrists advised me that I needed the surgery. Eyeglasses, even with new prescriptions, weren’t doing it.

I received a strong recommendation about East End Eye and its lead ophthalmologist, Dr. Scott Sheren. He has been president of the Suffolk County Ophthalmological Society and medical staff president at Peconic Bay. He’s director of the Robert Merriam Rogers Center for Eye Surgery at Peconic Bay. He’s an extraordinary physician, highly competent and warm. A concern I had involved taking the medicine Flomax. Google — that font of oft-alarming medical information — warns about complications in cataract surgery for people who take Flomax. Dr. Sheren assured me that he would take special care. And he did, removing the cataract from one eye in January, the cataract from the other two weeks ago. It was amazing how after the first cataract was removed and a new lens inserted, when the bandage over the eye was removed the next morning I could see through the “fixed” eye with perfect focus and white was bright white. Looking through the other eye, still with a cataract, everything was yellowish.

Now, with both eyes cataract-free, the world is clear.

There have not only been great advances in medical care — the emergence of two big medical centers here — but huge advances in medical science here and elsewhere. Two close friends — one fitted with a pacemaker, the other with two stents after a heart attack, both done at Stony Brook — say they would be dead without the treatments developed several decades ago.

The burning issue about health care is how as a society we can best pay for it. (My preference is “Medicare for all.”) Health care is about the most important use of money that exists — preserving and saving life.

Yesterday Congress took the first steps to begin its own investigation of Donald Trump and his administration. Do you feel this is appropriate, or is this now verging on being too much, or becoming an actual “Witch Hunt”?

Gail Healy “Oh sure, why not? They’re in the majority, and we should know. They’re doing their job.”

Rebecca Burnside “I think that we should be able to obtain as much information as possible, so yes, I think it’s appropriate. I’m not fully up-to-date because I’ve been traveling, but I do believe we need transparency.”

The chef and owner of Estia’s Little Kitchen in Sag Harbor talks about the Empty Bowls fundraiser for Project MOST, at which he will be honored for his support of the educational nonprofit, and why getting students out of the classroom and into the garden can be the best education for some.

By Kathryn G. Menu You’re being honored by Project MOST at its Empty Bowls Fundraiser this weekend with the second annual Empty Bowls award for your work supporting Project MOST, a non-profit after school program in Springs and East Hampton. What first drew you to support this organization?

My relationship with [Nick & Toni’s executive chef] Joe Realmuto was the key. Joe is a member of that board, and I guess you’d call him a North Star for that organization. Joe asked me if I might be able to help with a fundraiser and he explained the fundamentals of the organization, which I understand to be focused specifically on children who don’t have parents at home in the afternoon. They provide that group with not only educational programming, but activities that include gardening and learning about food from the soil to the seed to the plate. So, it was a natural for me. As Joe explained, he had and others involved like Bryan Futerman used Alice Waters’ Edible Schoolyard as inspiration [for the Springs Seedlings program]. They built the greenhouse and they established the systems that would help the children learn about where their food comes from, and then, eat out of the garden. All of those things are analogous to what I try to do for my customers here at the Little Kitchen. So, it’s a wonderful outreach.

You’re talking a lot about the Springs Seedlings project, which is the edible garden at the Springs School. Edible gardens in general have popped up at almost every school on the East End over the last decade. How important do you think this is for education?

It’s a fundamental for kids that aren’t getting it in the classroom. I was one of those kids that learned through tactile programming — you learn how to work with fabric, and learn how to work with wood and in this case, food and soil. I was much better learning by doing, and so They provide that group that’s why I think the Edible Schoolyard is important. I with not only educahad a grandfather who protional programming, but vided me with that in his own way. He did it just simply activities that include because he had the garden, and it was a place where we gardening and learning would hang out when I was about food from the soil on his property as a kid…In this case, the sixth-grade boy to the seed to the plate. or the fourth-grade girl who might not be understanding algebra or mathematics or some of these other things, puts the seed in the soil, and watches it grow. Then in the end of the day, those might be the kids that go on to become apprentices at the Quail Hill Farm [in Amagansett] and/or interns at Nick and Toni’s. They may come to me for a job, so it’s important for me to recognize that that was how I learned, and that’s how I can help other kids, too.

Project MOST is celebrating its 10th year at the Empty Bowls Fundraiser.

What are some of the chefs that you look forward to tasting at this annual event?

You know, I just like being a part of the group. For me, it’s more of an opportunity to be supporting an organization that’s recognized by my peers. I’m going there because I like to be cheek to jowl with a group of people who do the same thing I do, get to know them a little bit better, and celebrate each other through what we do. I am there for the colorful food, the flavors in the bowls. I love the fact that the whole community comes together and doesn’t really have one specific dish in mind. They’re coming for the communal program.

Any hints on what guests can expect to taste from The Little Kitchen this year?

We’ll be serving the Mexican sweet corn chowder, which is a combination of tomatillos and sweet corn, and onions and cilantro. There’s no dairy in it until we garnish it, so it’s a vegan dish. It’s been very well received here, and I think that it’s going to be different enough from everything else that’s at the party, that it’ll stand out.

The Project Most Empty Bowls fundraiser will be held on Sunday, March 10, from noon to 3 p.m. at the American Legion Post 419, 15 Montauk Highway in Amagansett. Tickets and more information are available at projectmost.com.

YESTERDAY’S EXPRESS 125 Years Ago March 8, 1894

The extremely warm weather and bright sun of the past week has caused robins and blue birds to put in an appearance. But no sooner do these birds come than there are plenty of lawless citizens standing by to shoot them, and consequently the “bang” of the gun is heard in every direction. We will inform all such persons that there is a fine for $5 for every such bird killed and still another fine of $5 for discharging fire-arms within a certain distance of an inhabited dwelling; and if not careful the law may be applied.

100 Years Ago March 13, 1919

The village of Southampton has been, for the past week or more, passing through its third attack of the much-dreaded influenza and to that degree that public schools have been closed. The doctors are doing their very best to stamp out the disease as quick as possible. It is said to be of a much milder type than the previous two attacks.

75 Years Ago March 9, 1944

Miss Fannie Tunison, who was in her late seventies, died in Brooklyn on Monday of this week. Miss Tunison, born in Sag Harbor, lived for a good many years on Hampton Street,

next to the Horn home. She was born a helpless cripple and achieved economic independence through delicate use of her tongue, having no control over any of her limbs. She could sew, paint and draw and write entirely with her tongue.

She exhibited at the Riverhead Fair, East Hampton Fair, in New York and in various places. There was a commital service by Rev. Donald Crawford at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Oakland Cemetery where her remains were interred.

50 Years Ago March 7, 1968

The much-anticipated Whaler’s Chorus Show was held on March 2, 1968 at the Southampton College Theatre. The auditorium was filled to capacity and many who did not get their tickets early enough were reluctantly turned away.

Fortunately, for those who did not see the show, there will be another opportunity in June when the Gentlemen Barbershoppers put on their show at the Guild Hall in East Hampton.

25 Years Ago March 10, 1994

Habitat for Humanity, an organization whose most famous volunteer is former president Jimmy Carter, is looking to build affordable homes in Southampton town and one of the first could be in Bridgehampton off the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike.

Last Cub Scout

Bumps in the road Commuter Connection (including the shuttle bus) ticket option on the machines is buried under “deals and getaways.” Buyers have to select that option, and then select “more options,” to find the South Fork Commuter Connection button.

At 6:38 a.m., the Long Island Rail Road reported on Twitter that “everything is currently operating as intended” on the South Fork Commuter Connection system.

Once the passengers got on board that first train, it was a fairly smooth ride — conductors seemed unfamiliar with commuter-connection ticketing — and some riders expressed cautious optimism for the new commuter service.

“I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time,” said Susan Miller of Manorville, who works for East Hampton Town.

She was among the commuters who had tried the first edition of the service, an experiment about a decade ago offered during the widening of County Road 39. The last time around, she said, “I read a lot of books on the train.”

“I really hope this works because a lot of effort went into this,” she said.

“That’s abundantly clear.”

Those efforts involved lengthy negotiations with the Long Island Rail Road, as well as obtaining funding from New York State — led by New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., with help from New York State Senator Kenneth P. LaValle, town representatives in East Hampton and Southampton and other advocates — to establish “last mile” shuttle service from the train stations to employment hubs such as town halls, business districts, schools, Main Street in Sag Harbor and more.

A passenger who got on at Hampton Bays, who would be getting off the train just 10 minutes later in Southampton, said he had done so for the environmental benefits of using public transportation.

“I’m really happy the train has started. I’m really supportive of it,” said Marty Shea, Southampton Town’s chief environmental analyst, who, like Ms. Miller, also used the commuter trains 10 years ago. “It cuts down on air pollution and carbon emissions. It makes the ride to work more enjoyable and relaxing.”

Erin King of East Quogue, who also got on the early train in Hampton Bays, said one reason she had decided to try it is she finds driving to her job working for East Hampton Town very stressful.

“Every day I feel like I’m taking my life in my hands,” Ms. King said. “People are lunatics on the road.”

The Hampton Hopper and Hampton Jitney provide the shuttle services. On Monday, Hampton Jitney chief executive officer Geoff Lynch himself greeted the lone passenger who transferred from the Speonk train to the shuttle at the Bridgehampton train station.

“We are very excited about participating in this endeavor,” Mr. Lynch said later in the day. “We need some type of traffic mitigation, and we think this is a good start. When spring and the nice weather hits, the

trade parade will build up again and we’ll see more ridership on the South Fork Commuter Connection.”

Lin Restivo of Hampton Bays said she worries about the likelihood that the shuttle buses will get stuck in traffic, particularly when summer comes.

That’s why she chose to walk from her job on Bridgehampton’s Main Street to the train station, instead of boarding the bus.

“That’s an issue they really need to address,” she said.

A passenger boarding the commuter connection at 6:16 a.m. at Speonk on Monday reached Sag Harbor’s Main Street by 7:21 a.m. — an hour and five minutes, skipping whatever trade parade volume would have clogged up Route 27 on the morning after a modest snowfall.

“People might not be in a rush to start this yet, because the traffic has not picked up,” Ms. Miller said. “It’ll be a big difference in April.”

A few riders encountered trouble en route back to Speonk later in the day.

They were stranded at Hampton Bays, not realizing that was the last stop of the late commuter connection train, despite the published and publicized train schedules. The earlier westbound train would have taken them all the way to Speonk, but it didn’t line up with their work schedules.

That’s when strangers stepped up.

In at least two instances, people with cars at Hampton Bays offered to help those who were stranded, bringing them to warm places like Starbucks to await further assistance. In one case, “further assistance” meant an Uber ride from Hampton Bays to Speonk, which cost $46.

A Long Island Rail Road spokesman said Tuesday there are no plans to extend the later westbound train to go all the way to Speonk because of the timing of a regularly scheduled eastbound train on the same line. Officials had initially tried to find a way but the Montauk line lacks sidings — except at Hampton Bays — to allow trains going in opposite directions to pass each other, the spokesman said.

Tom Neely, Southampton Town’s director of public transportation and traffic safety, said the town may add a shuttle bus from Hampton Bays to Speonk late in the day. He said there’s also a program called 511 Rideshare that could help, but it requires advance registration.

“Long-term, we hope to solve that problem with the railroad. It’s not inexpensive to run buses,” Mr. Neely said. “We are regrouping and having conversations about things like this.”

Those riders or would-be riders with issues to report can email SFCC@ ehamptonny.gov or SFCC@southamptontownny.gov, or call the LIRR at (718) 217-LIRR. Riders were stranded again on Tuesday, according to Ms. Restivo, who was among those who helped a stranger on Monday.

“We should all try to help each other,” she said. “It’s good to reach out and try and help that person who may need the help. That’s what people should do — help out your fellow man.

We’re all in the same boat, we’re just walking different paths.”

New Eagle Scout continued from page 1 planning, construction and placement of the kiosk and markers as his required community project to qualify as an Eagle Scout.

With the completion of the work in November and its approval by the Suffolk County Boy Scout Council, just before he turned 18, Tristan fulfilled a dream he’s had since his first-grade days as a Tiger Cub Scout.

“We did a lot of fun stuff” back then, he said during an interview in his Eagle Scout uniform at home with his dad, Chris, and mom, Valerie. “But there was always one thing on my mind. I just heard whispers about it. It was like this sacred thing that everyone in Cub Scouts was talking about: ‘Did you hear about the Eagle? Did you hear about the Eagle?’

“I’m like, ‘What’s an Eagle?’ And they’re like, ‘Oh it’s only the highest rank in Scouting.’ I’m like, “You know what? I’m in first grade. I’m going to go all the way until I get the Eagle and, you know, live as a Scout for the rest of my life.”

Besides completing a project to benefit the community, another achievement for his Eagle ranking was earning all the badges required of an Eagle Scout, a process that took years. In the end, he far exceeded the minimum, earning 28 badges in topics that included wilderness survival; environmental science; skiing; fingerprinting; swimming; small boat sailing; and pioneering, which requires building structures “with ropes and sticks,” he explained.

There was also Indian lore; personal fitness; wood carving; citizenship; marksmanship; and farming, which required him to change the oil in an old tractor at Boy Scout Camp Yawgoog in Rhode Island.

There was also cooking, which covered far more than preparing meals for fellow Scouts, which itself was nerve-wracking because everybody rated his food. He also had to learn all about nutrition and pricing.

For the kiosk and trail project, an even bigger part of the task than the physical work was learning how to oversee a team and to delegate tasks.

“It’s not just about doing all the work yourself,” he said, “because that

would be impossible. You have to have friends that can help you. Everyone in our troop was involved.”

Tristan developed a meticulously detailed plan for the project that was subject to careful review and approval by his Scout leaders. He raised the $500 he estimated would be needed for supplies through a Troop 455 car wash at the elementary school. He contacted and worked with county park officials, including County Legislator Bridget Fleming and the park system’s principal environmental an-

‘You have to have friends that can help you. Everyone in our troop was involved.’ alyst, Nick Gibbons, to obtain permission to do the work and set the design standards.

Tristan had some help from Mike Leahy, a family friend and fellow sailor at the Sag Harbor Yacht Club, who is also president of the Long Island Chapter of the U.S. Lighthouse Society and chairman of the 1864 Cedar Point Lighthouse Restoration Committee.

Mr. Leahy is the one who lobbied Tristan to take on the trail work as his Eagle Scout project. Tristan, having been involved in an earlier Scouting project to restore a trail for the South Fork Natural History Museum in Bridgehampton, was all ears.

Along with his fellow Scouts, he also had the help of his troop leaders, Scoutmaster Pat Witty — a builder whose knowledge was crucial — and Assistant Scoutmasters James Stewart and his father Chris, a businessman who owns Hampton Pharma LLC in Southampton. A Pierson grad himself, he studied chemical engineering at Clarkson.

Tristan’s grandfather, Frank Lizewski, was also part of the team. Tristan credits him as “the inspiration of everything.” And in an introduction to his project proposal, Tristan wrote: “Regarding my life purpose, I believe I was put on this earth to help save it.”

pack behind him.

According to Laurie Barone-Schaefer, Michael’s mother and Cub Scout pack leader for several years as her three sons all went through the organization, it’s not for a lack of interest in the Cub Scouts among young boys.

What’s missing, she said, are adults to lead the group.

“Unfortunately, without leaders, there’s no organization,” Ms. BaroneSchaefer said.

This year would have been the Cub Scouts’ 35th in Sag Harbor, she said, adding she’s hoping at least one grownup will come forward to take her place as pack leader; she plans to cross over herself into the Boy Scouts, along with her son, to serve as a troop leader.

The experience, she said, “is worth its weight in gold” — not just to see the scouts’ personal growth, but also to bond with them and their parents.

“It’s a time I’ll never forget,” Ms. Barone-Schaefer said. “They talk about going down in their Soapbox Derby cars on High Street. That’s childhood.

That’s what it’s all about. They’re going to carry that for the rest of their lives.”

Valerie Remkus, who is a member of the committee that runs the Sag Harbor Boy Scout troop, and whose elder son, Tristan, has reached the rank of

Review new plans continued from page 3 wood in an attempt to make it blend into the landscape more easily, according to architects Dave Harvey and Andre Kikoski.

“It relates very well. It’s been a long ride,” Mr. Gomolka said.

Concord Street Site Visit Proves Fruitful During a preliminary discussion session of 11 Concord Street, Kevin Clark, an architect with Historical Concepts, got informal confirmation from the review board that his adjustments to the plans were headed in the right direction. A much more extensive plan had been scaled down after members of the review board visited the house.

The only remaining sticking point seemed to be the placement of two small windows at the top of a proposed shed dormer, which some on the board, as well as its historic preservation consultant, said they would prefer to be a single window.

“There’s ample precedent in the village for introducing a large attic dormer in what is essentially a one story house with an attic,” consultant Zach Studenroth said. “You see that in various periods. [Two windows] clearly reads as a later addition and is not the happiest solution.”

Liberty Street Site May Be Headed for Subdivision The review board had previously said it disliked an idea pitched by 25 Liberty LLC to designate an historic house as an accessory structure and build a new, main house elsewhere on a 17,212-square-foot lot on Liberty Street — one of the largest on the street.

Instead, the homeowner’s represen-

have to decide whether and whom to endorse. That decision should come next week. I think it is prudent to give that a bit more thought.”

The Reform Democrats, the Independence Party and the Republican committee have endorsed the same slate: For Town Board, Democrat Bonnie Brady and Betsy Bambrick, who is not registered with a party; for town justice, Republican incumbent Lisa Rana; for highway superintendent, incumbent Democrat Steven Lynch; for assessor, incumbent Democrat Jeanne Nielson and incumbent Republican Jill Massa; and for Town Trustee incumbent Democrats Rick Drew and Dell Cullum; incumbent Republicans Susan Vorpahl and Jim Grimes; three Republican challengers, Dave Talmage, Mike Havens and Fallon EckerBloecker Nigro; and two Democratic challengers, Rona Klopman and Stephen Lester.

tative, Brian DeSesa, pitched preserving the original house and subdividing the property into two lots so the homeowner could build a new house to his liking. It would need site plan approval from the village’s planning board, as well as zoning variances for non-conforming lot sizes.

Mr. Gomolka called the new approach “a no-brainer” and Ms. Deyermond and board member Judith Long said it is “much better” than the previous version.

Eagle Scout, predicted the Cub Scout program in Sag Harbor will be dormant only temporarily.

“It’s cyclical,” she said. “I’ve heard that it’s happened before, that you’ll go a couple of dry years where you don’t have scouts or as many scouts, and then you’ll go back up. What it lacks is that person to step up and say, ‘I’m going to get them excited.’”

Ms. Barone-Schaefer suggested the lack of pack leaders comes from the fact that many households have two working parents who don’t have time to volunteer. Ms. Remkus suggested it’s because “there are a lot of other options” these days for family activities.

“Kids are involved in all sorts of sports and things that are very different than it was even 15 years ago,” she said. “I think the parents are also overcommitted. The kids have a lot to do, the parents have a lot to do, and they don’t understand that it’s really a simple job. They might find it to be daunting because they don’t know what’s involved.”

There is a fair amount of training involved in becoming a pack leader, including a youth protection class. A representative of the Suffolk County Council of the Boy Scouts of America could not be reached for comment.

Those interested in becoming a Cub Scout pack leader can find more information online at sccbsa.org.

in an interview on Tuesday that town taxes are only about 20 to 25 percent of the total tax bill.

To counter rising property values, he said he has striven to lower the property tax rate every year he has been in office in Southampton Town. “It’s down significantly,” he said, adding he has also tried to provide the kind of services — land preservation, good parks, beach access, good roads — that are appropriate and desired in a community with high property values.

Mr. Schneiderman said he loved being supervisor. “I look forward to going to work every day,” he added, and on weekends and many evenings. He noted he was a schoolteacher and a businessman, “just a regular guy,” before running for office. He said he wanted to continue as a public servant “as long as they want to keep reelecting me.”

Mr. Robins was a social studies teacher in the William Floyd School District for 39 years. He said his family’s connection to the town goes back to 1935, when his father and an uncle rented a place to stay from Judge Mercator Kendrick of Southampton.

GOP Switches Candidate In another move last week, the Republicans knocked Jim Ding of North Sea off their ticket as a candidate for Town Board, replacing him with Charles McArdle, a registered Conservative from Hampton Bays. Businessman Rick Martel, also of Hampton Bays, remains the GOP designee for the other Town Board seat at stake in this year’s election.

Mr. Ding described his ouster as a move demanded by town Conservatives. “The Conservative Party would not give any Republican [who is] running their line,” Mr. Ding wrote in an email, unless the Conservative candidate for Town Board got Mr. Ding’s spot on the ticket.

“Occasionally it is necessary to consider what is best for the ticket as a

whole as opposed to each individual,” Assistant GOP Chair Theresa Kiernan, the Southampton Town tax receiver, wrote in an email. She confirmed that there is a cross-endorsement agreement “with the Conservative Party for our candidates except the supervisor.”

Mr. McArdle, 56, is a former New York City patrolman and Southampton Town police detective who served eight years as the local PBA president.

He runs a private investigation and security firm as well as a valet parking service and is president of the Eastern Long Island Police Conference.

Mr. Martel owns Skidmore’s Sports & Style Shop on Main Street in Hampton Bays and is a key organizer of the hamlet’s San Gennaro Festival. He has long been active in the Southampton Kiwanis Club and the Hampton Bays Little League and other organizations.

Messages to GOP Chair David Betts were not returned. A call to attorney Robert Macedonio, whom Mr. McArdle said would provide the full Conservative Party slate, was not returned.

In addition to cross-endorsing Mr. Schneiderman, the Southampton Independence Party last week also gave the nod for Town Board to incumbent Democrat John Bouvier, whose runningmate on the Democratic line is Craig Catalanotto of Speonk, the co-chair of the town’s Citizens Advisory Committee-West; and backed political newcomer Hannah Pell of Southampton, the daughter of longtime Town Trustee Bill Pell, for Town Board, according to party chairman Fred W. Thiele Jr. The party also endorsed Republican incumbent Theresa Kiernan for tax receiver; Bill Haefeli for Town Justice; and for Town Trustee incumbents Bill Pell and Ann Welker, both Independence Party members; Republican incumbent Scott Horowitz and Democrat David Mayer.

The party left one Trustee spot vacant for candidates who are expected to file nominating petitions, Mr. Thiele said.

BAD HOCKEY FOR A GOOD CAUSE

michael heller photos

Snow and ice could not stop members of the Sag Harbor and East Hampton fire departments, who played a “Bad Hockey for a Good Cause” hockey game at the Buckskill Winter Club on Sunday, March 3 — a benefit for the Garypie family, which has volunteers in both the fire department and the Sag Harbor Ambulance Corps.

officer of Harmony Pictures in Los Angeles, Ms. Gordon was a trustee and co-chair of Filmaid UK. She has also served as the executive director of the charity Youth Culture TV; has been a film festival judge for BAFTA, mentored young filmmakers as a film consultant for the Singapore Media Development Agency; and has produced successful television drama for BBC and ITV. As director of graduate studies at Royal Holloway, University of London, Ms. Gordon, a graduate of New York University, led a program in practical creative producing as well as screenwriting, script development, production management and global film finance. As an associate arts professor at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts Asia from 2009 to 2012, she chaired the graduate international media producing program in Singapore.

“Gillian’s qualifications were stunning, but what especially impressed those of us on the search committee was the way she quickly began inspiring us with her new, fresh ideas both for fundraising and for the Cinema itself,” said April Gornik, head of the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center Board. “We were entirely won over by her dynamism.”

While Ms. Gordon’s resume is global, her roots are quite local. Her father was World War II veteran Ernest Gordon, the minister of the Presbyterian Church in Amagansett, where the family settled after moving to the South Fork from Scotland.

The Gordon family left Amagansett, but retained their home there, when

Mr. Gordon became the dean of the chapel at Princeton University. Ms. Gordon currently owns a house in Springs, where she will live full time when she takes her position leading the Sag Harbor Cinema this summer.

“I think it is more than just a cinema and that is what is so exciting about it,” Ms. Gordon said in an interview from London. “It is a shopfront, and a beautiful one at that, for all kinds of films and activities from screenings of what I like to call ‘smart house’ films like ‘The Favourite’ to films that are being distributed in first-run houses; and then we want to have retrospectives and themed and genre-based films, but I can also imagine events like a ‘Star Wars’ weekend.

If you are crazy about horror films, we are going to have horror films, we are going to have fright nights. We will have films and programming for kids, sometimes old stuff, maybe your favorite films from childhood.”

Ms. Gordon said the Cinema will also look to innovate and educate — experimenting with virtual reality experiences, special events and opportunities to introduce the art of filmmaking to area youth. With a café planned in the cinema space, she added she also hopes for the space to become a gathering point for whole community.

“We want to have a strong educational presence,” Ms. Gordon said. “I have been involved in charities and working with kids in film. Teaching digital, for even the most complicated kid, it can ignite something in them.”

Ms. Gordon will officially begin work July 1 but is hoping to arrive in Sag Harbor in June.

A project we can all be proud of.

A commitment we take seriously.

We’re Ørsted, and along with our partner Eversource, we take great pride in being a part of this community.

There’s been a lot of news about the South Fork Wind Farm lately. The scope of the project hasn’t changed: The wind farm will never be larger than 15 turbines, located over the horizon and connected to shore by just one, 138kV submarine cable. But thanks to improved technology and larger, more efficient turbines, we can now produce more clean power from the exact same project footprint.

The project won’t expand in the future — the South Fork Wind Farm is a standalone project and 132 megawatts is our maximum power output.

We want to create a world that runs entirely on green energy. Offshore wind is the future. And the future starts right here with the South Fork Wind Farm.

A free screening of the documentary “Killer Bees” will be presented by the East Hampton Town Anti-Bias Task Force and hosted by the East Hampton Library, 159 Main Street in East Hampton, on Saturday, March 16, at 1 p.m.

The film tells the story of the Bridgehampton High School championship basketball team, made up predominately of Africa-American and working-class players, that has bonded the local community for generations and provided hope to those struggling to survive in “The Hamptons” as increasing inequality and the disappearance of the middle class forecasts an uncertain future. For more information, call (631) 324-0222, Ext. 3.

Sag Harbor Elementary School students had an opportunity to put their math skills to the test through fun and interactive experiences during the seventh annual math fair on March 1. They learned to make an abacus and geometric shape craft in addition to participating in a coincounting fundraiser, scavenger hunt, iPad-controlled robot battles, strategic board-game challenges and a virtual reality adventure. A few students worked on projects in advance such as building a model of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.

Local sponsors, including American Pie, Apple Bank, the Children’s Museum of the East End, iCAMP (innovator’s camp), the Parrish Art Museum, Schiavoni’s Market, and the South Fork Natural History Museum & Nature Center, contributed both their time and generous donations to make the evening a memorable event for the students and encourage their continued interest in mathematics.

Bridgehampton Basketball

A Long Island Title With Eye on States

Killer Bees cruise to easy victory in state regional semifinal and will play Sunday in Binghamton

BY GAVIN MENU

One more victory and the Bridgehampton boys basketball team will return to the promised land. One more victory and this year’s Killer Bees will have their own shot at immortality, an opportunity to claim the program’s 10th New York State Class D Championship.

One more victory.

The Killer Bees took another step in a postseason journey they hope leads to the New York State Public High School Boys Basketball Championships in Binghamton over the weekend of March 16 and 17. Bridgehampton dismantled Roscoe Central, a small Rockland-county school, 59-29, in a New York State Class D Southeast Regional semifinal at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh on Monday.

And now the Bees will get a glimpse of the state championship venue this Sunday, March 10, when they travel to face Marathon, the Class D winner from Section IV, in the regional final at the Floyd L Maines Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton, with the winner returning for the big dance the following weekend.

“We’re expecting a great game every time we come out here,” Bridgehampton head coach Ron White said on Monday. “This is a scenario where you win or go home so we’re not taking anything for granted.”

The Bees were clearly the dominant team from the opening tip on Monday and jumped out to an early lead they never gave up. Senior J.P. Harding finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds, while sitting the last five minutes of the game, and point guard Naéjon Ward chipped in with 15 to go with eight assists and six steals. Elijah White played a solid all-around game, but it was Will Walker, Jonny DeGroot, Jahqur Carr and Nat Despasquale that also impressed their coach.

“We’re just grinding, and the guys are starting to believe a little more,” White said.

A First for the 9-Time State Champs A much tougher game was played on Friday, March 1, at Center Moriches High School, where Academy Charter, the new kids on the block, ran up against the legends of New York Class D basketball.

The upstart Panthers from the private school in Hempstead, newcomers to varsity basketball and playing their first-ever playoff game, gave the ninetime state champion Killer Bees something they’d never had before: A Long Island Championship.

Harding, Ward and Elijah White combined to score 58 points in a 63-61 victory that pushed Bridgehampton to Monday’s regional semifinal. And regardless of their future opponents, talk among the Killer Bees on Friday had

more to do with how the team was progressing internally.

“We came such a long way,” said Ward, who led all scorers with 24 points. “We had a lot of things going on during the season that people don’t even know about. We came together as a family, as brothers. My guys are working hard, and I always have trust in them.”

The Bees came out flat against an opponent they had never seen before and trailed by 10 points early. White closed out the first quarter with a three from the corner and it was the start of a hot streak for the junior guard, who scored nine of the Bees’ next 11 points to pull his team with striking distance.

Ward hit a three with just under four minutes remaining in the first half to tie the game at 26 and Bridgehampton closed out the second quarter on a 2614 run.

“Offense wins games, defense wins championships,” coach White said.

“The postseason is all about defense, being able to make it very difficult for the opponent to do what they want to do.”

Led by eighth-grader Jarrett Dingle and big man Justin Faulkner, the Panthers remained competitive all night, as they did all season despite a record of 2-8 against mostly Class B schools in Nassau County.

“I need these boys to believe,” Academy Charter head coach Gordon James said later. “A lot of them have not played much outside of Hempstead. I want them to realize ‘I belong here.’”

The Panthers took back the lead early in the fourth quarter until Harding, who finished with 16 points, scored four straight to tie the game with six minutes left. Ward followed with a steal and coast-to-coast finish, and Carr scored three quick points to put Bridgehampton up six. The Panthers clawed back again, but a blow-by layup

by Ward and a pair of free throws each from White and DeGroot sealed the deal in the end for the Killer Bees.

“It only gets harder,” coach White said about the road ahead — a road White is familiar with since he won state championships as a player at Bridgehampton in the 1990s. “When you go upstate, the talent is not completely there, but they rock their sets, they’re disciplined in what they do, they set the back screens, they work the shot clock, and that’s what it’s going to take to be a champion.”

That idea was not lost on his 16-year old son, Elijah.

“We came in and didn’t know what to expect. We just had to come out here and play our hardest and that’s what we did,” he said. “But every playoff game is different. There’s always butterflies, and it was such a relief to come out of this game with a win.”

And now, with the regional final set for Sunday in Binghamton, it won’t be long before those butterflies flare up once again.

ming its anchor leg, finished 18th overall while posting a time of 1:28.93.

“It was a great experience and a very fast meet,” East Hampton coach Craig Brierley reported. “The boys represented themselves and their schools with great pride and East Hampton/ Pierson/Bridgehampton swimming is very strong with a bright future for our sport in both our boys and girls programs.”

Pierson sophomores Colin Harrison and Fernando Menjura also attended the state meet as alternates on the relay team. They and the other swimmers at the state meet were named All League this season, with the entire relay team also being named All County and All State. Pierson’s Joey Badilla, Edward Hoff and Jack Duryea earned All-League status as

arch came in like a lion.

The weatherman gave us a great opportunity for a major snow event. With three storms over the weekend past, we still had very little snow. We seem to be on the warm side of the fence for all the storms this winter. We are having a chilly week this week and then warmer for the weekend.

Could that have been our last chance for a good snow? The Farmers’ Almanac makes no mention of snow for the month of March.

Remember that the clocks go ahead this Sunday, March 10.

This will leave us with more daylight in the afternoon. The first day of spring is March 20. Let’s hope March goes out like a lamb.

It is time to start looking for those returning ospreys. They usually show up around March 17, St. Patrick’s Day. If you see one, please contact me. I will be around those early return sites, looking for myself.

Last week saw some of the best low tides of the winter. Clams are available for those who can tolerate the weather. On some of the better days, scallopers are still on the bay. This season comes to an end on March 31. Winter fishing news continues to be quiet. There was no news from the Montauk or Rhode Island boats about codfish.

Further west, one of the charter boats did have a 20-plus codfish trip. For the birders, it’s been a great season. I have seen eagles on a daily basis. Many vultures and red tailed hawks are also in the skies. Think Spring!

Saturday, March 9, is the Sag Harbor Fire Department’s Dive Team’s Fisherman’s Flea Market.

This is their 6th annual indoor flea market and will be held at the Sag Harbor Fire House at 1357 Brick Kiln Road. The show runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is always a great event. Please come by and say “Hi.”

Stepping Up and Into John Hinckley’s Head Play explores issues of guns and mental health

BY MICHELLE TRAURING

T

he one-year anniversary of the Parkland mass shooting passed a month ago, but the massacre that left 17 high school students dead and 17 more injured is still chilling — an assault that sparked a youth protest movement nationwide, calling for stricter gun control laws in response to more than 300 mass shootings in 2018 alone.

It was in the wake of the Parkland chaos that Trevor Vaughn decided to call Eric Micha Holmes. A project of theirs, from years ago, was suddenly weighing heavily on his heart.

He was done waiting. Now was the time for Holmes to dig his play, “Falls for Jodie,” out of the graveyard — if not for theater, then for the sake of their country.

The playwright agreed, and they quickly got to work.

“There were a lot of questions about guns and violence and shootings that popped back up in my mind, issues that we had tackled four years earlier,” Vaughn recalled during a telephone interview last week. “The arts do have a responsibility to talk about these issues and, at the end of the day, it’s the reason we’re here. It’s the reason I had this crazy gut feeling that this play had to be done again — it really needed to be produced — because of the unique capacity the arts has to help audiences get out of their normal realm of thinking.”

Directed by Bill Burford, the play — starring Vaughn and Michael Paul, now staging through March 17 at

While Their Guitars Gently Played A Beatlemaniac listens in on rehearsals for a tribute to Abbey Road and Let it Be

magine you’re a musical director, and that you’ve been tasked with producing a two-hour concert with the knowledge that 98 percent of your audience will not only know all the songs, but in most cases all the words to those songs, as well as most of the instrumental arrangements and solos, down to the last note.

The challenges for such a show, which are legion, will be met head-on by The Moondogs when they will present “The Beatles ‘69 — ‘Let It Be’ & ‘Abbey Road,’” on Friday and Saturday, March 15 and 16, at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.

I first learned of the show while having a musical conversation (our

guitars did most of the talking) with Jeff Levitt, who is one of a number of monster players tapped by musical director Mike Schiano for the band. As we talked, Levitt told me of the tremendous amount of completed musical homework each musician needed to bring to rehearsal, (30 songs, yikes!), and other intriguing aspects of the production. My interest as a musician, producer and Beatle-freak (yep, watched the Ed Sullivan show at age 14) was piqued.

I called Schiano and asked him what he thought about the idea of me coming to a rehearsal and documenting it for publication. “Sure,” Schiano said, “maybe it will help drive ticket

ast Thursday morning, puppeteer Yael Rasooly found herself missing a certain someone, or rather, being a certain someone: a lonely secretary named Ruth Spencer.

Born from a place of invention, theatricality and borderline desperation, the Israeli artist had conjured up a world where Ruth finds refuge from her mundane life, far from her deadend job where she spends most of her days fantasizing about her boss, who does not reciprocate her affections.

But down Ruth’s rabbit hole, commonplace objects are anthropomorphized, photo cutouts have personality and pop-up figurines take on new life, all from behind her desk in her little corner, on any given stage — during the one-woman show “Paper Cut,” staging Friday at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.

“I haven’t performed it in just over a month, which feels very long,” Rasooly said. “I miss my character. She can just do whatever she wants. She just has pure inventiveness every moment.

She’s quite something. It’s really a ride. It’s kind of like that feeling when you’re a kid and you’re about to go on a rollercoaster. I feel like that with her, but at the same time, I have to operate the rollercoaster, as well.”

While “Paper Cut” may be a puppet show, it is not geared toward children, emphasized Liz Joyce of Goat on a Boat, who sat in the audience during the 2017 Puppeteers of America National Festival in Minnesota and watched Rasooly perform, completely enraptured and determined to bring her to the East End. “I was blown away because I’m a solo performer and I appreciate a one-woman act, and she is incredibly talented,”

Joyce said. “I’m excited about being able to share her show with our audiences. Goat on a Boat’s been around for 18 years, and this is the first time we’ve done an adult performance — and we’re going to try to keep them coming.”

Over the last nine years, Rasooly has performed “Paper Cut” more than 400 times across 28 countries — a show that conveniently fits into two suitcases — and racked up accolades along the way, including the Excellence Award at the New York International Fringe Festival.

“I feel very fortunate that this has been such a big part of my life. I definitely never expected anything like this,” she said. “I guess that sometimes happens. There’s no rules in

theater. You can spend three or four years working in a production, and putting your whole heart and soul into it, and it gets to be seen so little. And then you can make a show between your living room and your kitchen, which is what ‘Paper Cut’ is, and tour the world.”

Performed in both English and French — but never in Hebrew, Rasooly noted — the show is a study in escapism, where Ruth is a glamorous movie star from the 1940s and finds her ideal love at last. But as the story unravels, and as imagination and reality collide, her romantic tale becomes a Hitchcock nightmare, the puppeteer said.

“I did start watching Hitchcock films at a much younger age than I should have,” Rasooly said. “I think I watched ‘Vertigo’ when I was 7 or 8; I was peeking from behind my older sister, who was too young herself. I really think that left a deep mark on me, the mystery and the haunting effect of those films, alongside that beauty.”

The classically trained singer and pianist began her studies at the School of Visual Theatre in Jerusalem, where she first studied directing and acting. At that time, puppetry had never crossed her mind, she said.

“I had a lousy perception of it. It just seemed like it was for children, or that it’s very simplistic,” she said. “And then I saw a show that just blew my mind.

It was a very small team of people and they were doing what I know to be today as contemporary objects and puppet theater, and that really changed my experience. I thought, ‘What is this, I have to research it, I have to find out.’”

A prominent figure in the British puppet scene directed her through the appropriate channels — “She said, ‘Go to meet these artists,’ I went to meet those artists. She said, ‘Go to see those

panel of accomplished writers will discuss “The Art and Craft of the Redraft” for the next program in the 2019 spring Writers Speak Wednesdays series at Stony Brook Southampton.

Poet Cornelius Eady, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Harding, Amy Hempel, Susan Scarf Merrell and Roger Rosenblatt will talk about the importance of revision in a discussion moderated by novelist and associate provost Robert Reeves on Wednesday, March 13, at 7 p.m. in Duke Lecture Hall on the ground floor of Chancellors Hall at the Southampton campus.

Eady is the author of several books of poetry, including the critically acclaimed “Hardheaded Weather,” which was nominated for an NAACP Image Award.

Harding is the author of the novel “Tinkers,” winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Hempel is the author of four story collections, including “Reasons to Live,” “At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom,” “Tumble Home,” and “The Dog of the Marriage.”

Merrell is co-director of the Southampton Writers AMY HEMPEL Conference and a professor in the MFA in Creative Writing & Literature program at Stony Brook Southampton. She is the author of, most recently, “Shirley: A Novel,” which was selected as one of the top 50 novels of the year by The PAUL HARDING Washington Post and is being made into a film directed by Josephine Decker and starring Elisabeth Moss and Michael Stuhlbarg.

With work published in 14 languages, Rosenblatt is the author of five New York Times Notable Books of the Year, and three Times bestsellers, including the memoirs, “Kayak Morning,” “The Boy Detective,” and “Making Toast,” originally an essay in The New Yorker.

Other programs scheduled for the spring Writers Speak series include: poet Gary J. Whitehead on March 27; Amy Hempel and Julia Slavin on April 3; poet Sharon Dolin and writer Chloe Caldwell on April 24; and a showcase reading by MFA students on May 1.

T

he season is finally set.

Bay Street Theater announced late last week that the first show of the 2019 Mainstage Season will be the world premiere of “The Prompter,” which will run May 28 through June 16.

A new comedy by Wade Dooley, “The Prompter” will be directed by none other than Bay Street Theater creative artistic director Scott Schwartz. “‘The Prompter’ was a big hit at Bay Street’s Title Wave: 2018 New Works Festival, and we are thrilled to now offer our audience the world premiere production of this delightful new comedy about the making of a Broadway show,” says Schwartz. “We are also proud to be producing a second world premiere this season, a searing new drama directed by one of America’s leading theater artists. And we will close our season with a visionary revival of a classic musical directed by a rising star, continuing Bay Street’s new commitment to bringing vibrant, intimate new life to beloved musicals. I am sure Bay Street’s 2019 Mainstage season will be the talk of the East End all summer long.”

The comedy centers on veteran actress Irene Young, who, after a 40-year absence, is returning to the Broadway stage.

But now, she can’t do it alone; so, the production hires a young actor to be her prompter. But, this isn’t her story, it’s his.

Chef Robert Curreri

Guild Hall in East Hampton — is an imagined account of John W. Hinckley Jr.’s strange partnership with a concierge at a hotel next to the Yale University campus, who tries to help him win the affections of his child-star crush, Jodie Foster.

Inspired by true events, “Falls for Jodie” paints a portrait of Hinckley’s descent into isolation, hatred and obsession in the months and days leading up to his attempt on Ronald Reagan’s life in 1981, one that nearly killed the former president.

“The play itself deserves to be part of a national conversation about gun violence and why young men are vulnerable to turn to it,” Burford said. “It is a catalyst for a kind of conversation that can save lives — and we’re taking that very seriously.”

What started as a master’s thesis for Holmes at the University of Iowa found itself to the stage during a workshop reading at the University of North Texas, just before a one-night performance at the McKinney Performing Arts Center — a hometown reunion for Paul and Vaughn, Texan natives and lifelong friends who portray Hinckley and the concierge, Eddie, respectively.

“We were curious to see how it would land in Texas. That’s what began our journey — to take it down there to the lion’s den, so to speak,” Vaughn said.

“Hinckley is from that area, too. He went to Highland Park, which is probably the most affluent public school in north Texas, and we used to play his high school in football and baseball.

The more I learned, it’s such a small world. We got this great reception, a lot of positive feedback, and when I came back up to the city, I thought, ‘Well, what do I do now?’”

Burford happened to be in the McKinney audience that night — a north Texan himself, who knew the creative team through New York and East End connections. “Falls for Jodie” was still in the exploratory stage, he said, but he could see the subliminal communication between Vaughn and Paul, one that “goes way down deep into their spirits and their hides,” he said.

When asked to direct the first-ever full staging, with a substantial rehearsal period, he eagerly accepted, without hesitation.

“They said, ‘Bill, do you want to direct this?’ and I said, ‘Don’t throw me in that briar patch.’ You see what I’m saying? You see what I’m saying,” Burford said with a laugh. “They’re both wonderful players and it’s one of the

most remarkable new plays I’ve run into. It’s fabulous to watch them on stage. I mean, there are times in rehearsal where I forget to do my job because they’re blowing me away.”

Refusing to shy away from deepseated, complex issues — think racism, white supremacy, fear and paranoia — “Falls for Jodie” is a compassionate study of gun violence, mental health and the radicalization of vulnerable young men, Burford explained. A talkback will follow each performance, examining these all-too-pressing issues that are central to so much unrest worldwide, he said.

“It’s done in the round,” Burford said of the play. “When Eric and I first started talking about it, we wanted to try it that way because it’s such a personal

portrait. It’s a very intimate portrait.

That means that when we do the talkback at the end, we’ll be facing one another. What we’re looking for is candor and civility, and all the voices that can come to the table.”

With just 44 seats on stage, there is nowhere to hide, Vaughn noted. That applies to the audience, who will surround the actors, as well the issues at hand — which are literally, and figuratively, pushed into the spotlight.

“My whole hope was the audience would have a chance to be a fly on a weird wall of history. To be in the round really puts them in the proper place,” he said. “They are on the wall, and they’re all peering in on this world.

It makes it more intimate. It makes it less presentational. It brings out more of the humanity in it, and hopefully it allows audiences to make the journey more personal for themselves.”

“Falls for Jodie” will stage on Thursday, March 7, at 8 p.m. at Guild Hall, located at 158 Main Street in East Hampton. Performances continue on Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m., through March 17. A talkback will follow each performance. Tickets are $20, $18 for members and $10 for students. For more information, call (631) 324-0806 or visit guildhall.org.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD Paige Patterson

Just Like Claude Monet, I Must Have Flowers Always and Always

A

s I’ve previously said, winter is the time I go through all of last year’s gardening magazines that have piled up all season long, when I go to lectures, read those books I keep buying even though I have no more room on my shelves and take classes to both educate and inspire me. This winter I’m taking a number of classes at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) on flower arranging, so I make sure I know all the rules before I start to flaunt them.

I started seriously gardening because I loved making huge, crazy and wild flower arrangements for both my home and my office but was spending far too much money buying for all my bouquets. “Why not just grow a few things at home,” I thought, “it’d cut down my costs, and probably be sort of fun.” Honestly, it’s worked out great. I grow all kinds of things that I cut for arrangements, some of which are traditional cutting garden flowers and some are things I discovered do well in a vase either by accident, or just because I stuck them in. This is how I learned to use basil, mint and rosemary as green fillers and discovered that smokebush flowers last an inordinately long time.

This winter, before my classes, I get to the city super early so I can stroll through Manhattan’s flower market on 28th Street and look at what’s available that I could possibly grow, PAIGE PATTERSON thinks, eats, drinks and sleeps plants – more green thoughts and pictures @wildgardenstyle.

and what they have that I can only dream of.

In the past few weeks, the big thing has been stem-dyed flowers, specifically a group of tulips called “Brownies” or “Painted Brownies” that look like something you’d find in the middle of the tulip mania phase that swept through Dutch households in the 17th century. The leaves have turned a maroon and chocolate brown, and thin brown streaks are etched through white flowers by the brown dye that’s been pulled up through each petal’s veins. The resulting tulips are very reminiscent of the broken, virally infected rarities that drove the Dutch so crazy, and the moment I saw my first bunch, I too was staggered and driven mad with desire. Not only did I want to buy them by the armful, I am now feverishly searching the Internet seeing if there’s any information on how I could ever make my own — although I’m not holding my breath, as the secret to making them is probably pretty safe over in Holland.

These beauties are created by a Dutch company called Vip Roses run

by Marc and Ed Sassen, two brothers who’ve taken over their father’s rose growing greenhouse and along with growing some of the most glorious roses, have been responsible for a resurgence of interest in the stem dyed flower. It’s possible that you’ve seen rainbow tulips somewhere on your Instagram feed and have suspected it was just a seriously photoshoppedwithin-an-inch-of-their-lives picture.

It’s not. It seems these brothers are quite talented when it comes to ma-

nipulating flowers with dyes. They’ve done carnations in both sepia and dark brown and are working on gerbera daisies with a lavender or grey edge (fabulous, but not available yet); but my favorites are the three ‘Brownies’ tulips — the straight one I’m so enamored of, a fringed cultivar and a parrot all with the same elegant pinstriped pattern. These are not to be confused with the regular tulip ‘Brownie’ cultivar that’s naturally a double orangish-coppery color.

I’m a huge fan of all these flowers they’ve infused with brown, so, even though the brothers have also made glow-in-the-dark roses and chrysanthemums, I’m not holding that against them.

I love that these tulips have gotten me excited and anticipating my own — which I noticed yesterday, are just starting to push their very tips

up through the ground in the last couple of days — and that I’m starting to get excited about new things to plant and cut. I have seeds for California poppies (Eschscholzia californica) that Erin from Floret Flowers has suggested makes a great cut, which I’m going to employ as a groundcover, weed suppressant and now an arrangement component in the raised beds where all my new bearded iris have taken up residence. I’ve invested in ridiculous numbers of sunflowers of all colors and shades; and, after wandering through the market, have decided that this fall I definitely have to invest in more fritillaria bulbs. I’m also having two unusual celosias and two much rarer snapdragons custom grown for me.

I’m convinced that if I track down some plume poppies (Macleaya cordata) again, they’d really make my arrangements come alive. Supposedly an invasive plant, mine never really took, so I really want to try it again, although no one really sells it anymore. Anyone got some extras they want to share? I’ve got tons of poppy and nicotiana seeds I’ve been sowing in places where there’s not too much weeding needing to be done, as both are favorites of mine to use. And after using them in two of the four classes I’ve taken, I’m going to have to buckle down and grow from seeds some Bupleurum griffithii, just because its acid flowers enlivened everything they were added to. And I’m going to have to track down some of the new Heuchera ‘Florist Choice’ cultivars as they supposedly have flowers on stems that are 3’ tall. Crazy, right?

Seeing and thinking about all these flowers have made me super anxious to get out there and start working; but it’s really far too wet and mushy to do so. If we get another good freeze (not that I want that at all) we could walk into the beds and start pruning back my fall flowering shrubs that I haven’t gotten to yet; but with the weather we’ve been having where the ground is still saturated either with rain, or soggy from melted snow, all I’ll do is damage to the soil structure the moment my foot steps into the bed. I’ve given myself other chores, ones that I can achieve from pathways and lawn edges. I’m allowing the purchase of garden necessities — I don’t grow sweet peas, cutting the blooms and using them and the tendril from my sugar snaps instead, so I just got two of the nettings I’m going to use to support them. I’ve indulged in a new trowel and my husband got me a new threelegged pruning ladder for Valentines day which allows me access to some of those beds I’m itching to work in.

There are weeds to be pulled, but I’m only letting myself attack whatever’s within arm’s reach.

And as if I’ve magically conjured them up, with all my thoughts of flowers and new and unusual cutting plants, this coming Sunday, March 10, at 2 p.m., there’s a talk at the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons called “Reconsidering the Cutting Garden” by Ed Bowen and Taylor Johnston the co-owners of the design studio and unusual plant micro nursery issima, in Little Compton, Rhode Island. How perfect is that?

Doing justice to two classic Beatles albums

continued from page B1 sales.” That’s probably something Mike need not worry about — these shows are almost guaranteed sellouts. What began with a 50th anniversary Beatles tribute in 2014 continued the next year with a “Beatles/Stones Battle.” The band then decided to celebrate the 50th anniversary of “Sgt. Pepper” in 2017 and it was a roaring success.

“The band really came together with Sgt. Pepper,” says Schiano. “The efforts by everyone involved paid off with two super shows and we were left thinking about what we could do next.” What followed was another sellout show last year for the “George Harrison 75th Birthday Celebration.”

Besides Schiano and Levitt, the current band includes Moondogs co-founder Joe Lauro (of the Hoodoo Loungers) on bass guitar, Fred Gilde (of Mama Lee Rose and Friends) on keyboard/sound effects and vocals, Mick Hargreavess (of Joe Delia and Thieves)

on guitars and vocals, Dan Koontz (of Edna’s Kin), Nancy Atlas, the Hoodoo Loungers) on piano and organ and vocals and Dave Giacone (of the Hoodoo Loungers) on drums. In addition to his musical director hat, Schiano plays guitar and contributes lead and harmony vocals.

There have been six full band rehearsals and a number of practices just for the vocal parts leading up to next weekend’s show. “The vocals for Abbey Road were absolutely the most challenging, but each member of the band has the same goal, to produce a sound as close as possible to the original,” said Schiano. Lauro agrees. “‘Abbey Road’ has been 10 times as hard as ‘Let It Be,’ which was basically a live recording by a rock and roll band,” he said.

Beatle historians will note that after the often-contentious self-production of “Let It Be,” the group asked producer George Martin to do one more album. He did, and the result was arguably one of the Beatle’s best efforts, but just a bear to cover.

I arrive at Mick Hargreaves’s “Lantern Sound” in Manorville and the band is setting up.

It’s crowded. There’s whiskey.

Giacone is in his cockpit behind the kit with Lauro and his bass (a Hofner, of course) to his left and Hargreaves with his two guitars to his right. Behind Hargreaves, Gilde has his Moog synthesizer and Nord stage piano ready to go and Schiano with his two guitars is set in the quarterback slot across from Giacone. Off to Schiano’s right is Koontz at the grand piano and to his right is Levitt with his two guitars. Scattered about are a plethora of amps, microphones and cables, leaving barely enough room for this reporter and his legal pad.

Gilde suggests they start with the three songs that use the Moog, so first up is “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,” incorporating the first of many sound effects (hammer) Gilde will pull out as the evening progresses. “Because” follows, the song that Koontz said was the most challenging for him, but the

practice has paid off. With his capo at the seventh fret, Levitt nails Harrison’s riffs on “Here Comes the Sun” and the band is off to the races.

“I Want You/She’s So Heavy” and “Come Together” are next followed by a stunning rendition of Harrison’s “Something,” again featuring note perfect solos from Levitt. The “chills down my spine” moment for me was next when the boys launched into “Oh Darling” with Koontz providing the soaring vocals, ably backed up

by Hargreaves, Schiano and Gilde.

Hargreaves takes the lead vocal on “Octopus’s Garden” (with bubbles by Gilde) and by this time I’m just singing along.

The richness of the material is evident as the band runs through “Sun King,” “Mean Mr. Mustard,” “Polythene Pam” and “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window,” any of which, according to Levitt, could have been stand-alone songs on their own.

The absolute highlight of course is

the “Golden Slumbers — Carry That Weight — The End” medley that has so many iconic riffs it’s hard to list them all. Gilde starts with luscious strings from the Nord, and by the time Giacone starts that eight-bar drum solo and Hargreaves, Schiano and Levitt are into the triple guitars on “The End,” I am just done.

What drives a band to work so hard for what amounts to maybe 50 cents an hour?

“I’m a self-confessed lunatic,” says Schiano. “We love what we do and the payoff is watching the crowd dance and stand with an ovation at the end.

It’s hard to say who has more fun.”

Beatles Weekend! Let it Be and Abbey Road will be performed on Friday, March 15, and Saturday, March 16, at 8 p.m. at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. Tickets can be purchased at the Bay Street Theater box office or by visiting www.baystreet.org.

continued from page B1 shows,’ I went to see those shows,” Rasooly said — and it wasn’t long before she found herself immersed in the world of puppetry.

She absorbed the great masters and their massive productions, and sought out modern puppet theater. She watched classical marionettes and illusion and magic, even a puppet show of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” played by vegetables.

“It was such a mix and so diverse, and it kind of shook me to the core and made me feel like, ‘Oh, okay, there’s a place for me. This is what I want to do, and I might just be able to pull it off,’” she said. “Once you know it, you’re hooked — like Thai food. I really think there’s similarity there.”

Rasooly returned to Jerusalem and incorporated her newfound love of puppetry into her studies. It felt right, she said, until graduation. Reality had set in. Suddenly, her support system from the School of Visual Theatre was gone.

A solo show she mounted in Tel Aviv was losing money — “and even worse than losing money, no one was coming,” she said.

Out of it, she willed “Paper Cut” into existence, she said, somewhere between her living room and her kitchen.

“It was a very rough time, and I was just beginning,” she said. “On a more personal level, I think it was definitely a reaction to a serious romance I was having at the time, and I guess my journey in that and the liberation of that, and heartache and disillusion, and rising up from the ashes. For me, art has always been a very, very necessary part of my life. I don’t think it’s really a choice for me, even though I love making it every day.”

Now sponsored by the Israel Institute’s Visiting Israeli Artists Program, Rasooly is spending a semester in the United States, teaching nearly 60 students across three institutions in Connecticut — Trinity College, UConn and the National Theater Institute at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center.

“I’ve learned so much from this performance, from ‘Paper Cut,’ but I guess what I’m mostly focused on now in my teaching is guiding people to shape their own independent language and to transform their own voice into performance,” she said. “‘Paper Cut’ has definitely shown me that is possible, and you can also live in works through that.

“I’ve been very fortunate to have teachers that also believed in me before I believed in myself and gave me that encouragement — and saw how absolutely vital it was for me,” she added. “It’s still one of the most powerful aspects of my life: the creation and meeting audiences. I’m pretty much addicted to that.”

Yael Rasooly’s “Paper Cut” will stage on Friday, March 8, at 8 p.m. at Bay Street Theater, located at 1 Bay Street in Sag Harbor.

A wine reception will follow the performance, held in honor of International Women’s Day. Advance tickets are $30, or $40 at the door.

The show is suited for adults only. For more information, call (631) 725-4193 or visit goatonaboat.org.

Off-Market Montauk Deal Closes for $18.1 Million

A modern, contemporary compound in Montauk — spanning more than 300 feet of oceanfront across separate, contiguous properties on Old Montauk Highway — has closed for $18.1 million, without so much as a peep.

Robert Dankner, president of brokerage firm Prime Manhattan Residential, represented the buyer in the 230-234 Old Montauk Highway off-market sale — the largest transaction on the East End this year.

It comes just seven months after Dankner represented the buyer in the sale of the oceanfront home next door, which closed for $22.8 million in 2018, marking the largest transaction out east all year, and the second most-expensive sale Montauk has ever seen.

“The location and development opportunity to customize your own Montauk compound high above the ocean is so rare, which is why my buyer jumped at the opportunity,” Dankner said of the recent sale. “The award-winning home provides the best of luxury, including unheard-of oceanfront views.

High-end buyers continue to flock to the beauty of Montauk.”

Designed by architect James Biber of Biber Architects and Pentagram Design, the circa-2006 tri-level main home sprawls across 5,500 square feet, and includes a gourmet kitchen, master bedroom with a rooftop deck and wraparound terraces, a custom sky-lighted gym, screening room, wine cellar and storage.

rom a van driving around the Hamptons in 1974 to a fleet of the luxury motor coaches in 2019, Hampton Jitney has become a recognizable symbol of connecting city dwellers to the East End. Daily service between the North and South Forks and the metro New York area have transported thousands of people, while also amassing thousands of passenger stories. Marking their 45th anniversary, the company is inviting all Jitney riders to celebrate by sharing their favorite memories from their own travels over the years.

Hampton Jitney’s 45th anniversary campaign kicked off with the love story of a man and woman who met during a summer day on the bus. Three years later he chartered a Jitney to propose, and she accepted. The couple now lives in New York City with their three children. Being able to share stories like this have always been on the company’s mind.

“We thought about using stories from customers and have heard so many over the years,” says Hampton Jitney vice president Andrew Lynch. “We have gotten a lot of response for our request, including chance encounters, relationships that started with people sitting next to each other, the ability for people to see family members who have moved to the city, and a lot of activity from people talking about how they rely on the service as part of their lives.”

Dozens of submissions for the campaign thus far have included couples meeting and later marrying, people creating enduring friendships, and stories of random acts of kindness from strangers from simple positive conversations and interactions to detailed advice on places to enjoy or explore across the East End. Hampton Jitney will release stories periodically, and plans to host trivia events and giveaways into the summer. Lynch says they are impressed by the tremendous response and have been pleasantly surprised by how many people have positive memories of their service

and how it has impacted individual lives.

As a privately operated and funded business, Hampton Jitney comes into its own challenges. The company operates year-round, which does not always make financial sense, particularly in the winter, but Lynch says they have an obligation to customers and also fill a niche not met by many other forms of transportation. New York is a difficult environment to operate in with Manhattan’s congestion, tolls, and fees, making it an increasingly hostile place to operate a business such as this.

“On one hand, 45 years sounds like a level of permanence that is really incredible to achieve,” Lynch explains. “But on the other hand, it’s a struggle on a year-to-year basis.

It is not easy, so we’re always on our best game to make services more convenient for passengers and make operations more efficient. By viewing this as a struggle every year it helps to keep us sharp.”

Hampton Jitney was founded by former advertising executive James Davidson as

Edwards to Appear in Spring Break Art Show

S

outh Fork-based curator and Iron Gate East director Kelcey Edwards was among just over 80 curators selected out of 700 applicants for Spring/Break Art Show 2019, which will be held through March 11 at 866 UN Plaza in Manhattan.

In response to this year’s theme Fact & Fiction, Edwards is presenting an exhibition, “The Hidden World of Objects,” featuring new work by painter Richard Pasquarelli and sibling filmmakers Elan + Jonathan Bogarín whose magic realist documentary “306 Hollywood” premiered at Sundance Film Festival last year.

“The artists featured in ‘The Hidden World of Objects’ are conducting an investigation into the power of objects to connect us to our most deep-seated sense of personhood. In keeping with the Spring Break 2019 theme of ‘Fact And Fiction,’ the works of art in ‘The Hidden World of Objects’ investigate this paradoxical power of objects to toggle between the symbolic and literal, the real and ideal by exploring the psychological, and thus unreliable and imperfect nature of memory and association,” says Edwards. “On one end of the spectrum, Pasquarelli’s paintings present the belongings of people with disorders such as OCD and Hoarder disorder as ‘portraits’ of an individual’s state of mind. On the other end, the Bogarin siblings conducted an excavation of their late grandmother’s house to embark on what they described as a ‘magical-realist journey’ in search of what life remains in the objects we leave behind.”

Edwards worked with Richard Pasquarelli this November on a group exhibition she curated in Southampton titled “Love Is Not All” — a popup exhibition in a luxury modern home on Bishops Lane that featured the work of five artists, including Jeff Muhs.

a means for transporting people to and from various Hamptons towns during an oil crisis. The local service grew out of necessity to keep the business running, and Davidson began transportation services into New York City. In 1988, the business was sold to Lynch’s parents, with him and his brother, company president Geoffrey Lynch, running Hampton Jitney today.

In addition to connecting passengers to the East End and the city, as well as area airports, the popular bus service also includes limousines, charters and tours throughout the northeast and Canada.

“Forty-five years is a tremendous milestone and tribute to our employees, customers, and partners,” said Geoffrey Lynch in a press release. “We are proud to be one of the icons of the East End and look forward to another 45 years.”

Customers wishing to share their own Hampton Jitney experiences for the campaign can submit stories to mystory@hamptonjitney.com.
