ADOPT $42.9 MIL SCHOOL BUDGET

But, for some, it’s still all about the $74,922 Chevy SUV

BY CHRISTINE SAMPSON

PRESENTED WITH TWO OPTIONS on Tuesday night, the original $43.4 million budget proposal and a new $42.9 million spending plan, the Sag Harbor School Board unanimously agreed to present the lower of the two options to the community for the May

21 budget vote.

“Because we’ve been very aggressive on this budget and the administration has done a really good job of tightening it up … I would support ‘option two,’” school board president Diana Kolhoff said, and the rest of the board expressed agreement for various reasons.

For the lower budget option, administrators identified nearly $490,000 in items to cut from the first budget draft, including $300,000 in “security initiatives” that had not yet been defined publicly along with money for hiring contingency staff mem-

FOR TWO DECADES, many East End residents spent their mornings with Bonnie Grice, the host and producer of “Eclectic Café” and “Media Mavens” on 88.3 WPPB-FM Peconic Public Broadcasting who signed off from the public radio station in March. While Ms. Grice was ready to bid adieu to a full-time gig in Southampton, she was not quite ready to put down the microphone and will return to the airwaves next week on

Sag Harbor’s WLNG Radio, 92.1 FM. “Rock On with Bonnie Grice” will air Saturdays, from 3 to 6 p.m., and will focus on one of Ms. Grice’s favorite genres of music — classic rock.

“It has always been a passion of mine and I can’t wait to share that,” Ms. Grice said in an interview this week. “Starting out, it will be a rock show from the ‘50s to the ‘80s and maybe I will be able to sneak in a little bit of the ‘90s.”

Ms. Grice said she sees the show as one that will obviously showcase

music, but also include classic rock musical guests performing in venues across Long Island, New York City, Boston, Connecticut and beyond — wherever the airwaves of Sag Harbor’s beloved radio station reach.

In addition to playing some of her favorite tunes, Ms. Grice says hosting a show on her hometown radio station — she lives not far from the station’s headquarters on Redwood Causeway — is a dream come true.

Primaries Expected In Coming Election May have three-way race for supervisor

BY CHRISTINE SAMPSON

SEVERAL CANDIDATES VYING for elected offices in Southampton Town will likely face opponents in primary elections in June, if April 8 petition filings are any indication of how the campaigns are shaping up.

A petition tracker provided this week by Nicholas LaLota, a commissioner with the Suffolk County Board of Elections, shows Democratic incumbent town supervisor Jay Schneiderman will face Alex Gregor, currently

the town superintendent of highways, for the Independence Party line in the June 25 primary. Mr. Schneiderman also filed petitions to run on the Democratic, Working Families and Conservative party lines. If Mr. Gregor, a member of the Independence Party, is successful in the June primary, a three-candidate race would emerge in November with Gregory Robins running as the Republican candidate.

Field Is Frustrating Sod is slow to come together behind Pierson as natural turf is opened to students

STUDENT-ATHLETES WERE OUTSIDE energetically practicing their lacrosse skills on Pierson Middle-High School’s lone athletic field on Wednesday afternoon, a much-storied field that reopened for student use on April 8 following a few months of limited use or complete closure.

Sag Harbor School District superintendent Katy Graves on Tuesday

offered an update on the field, along with the newly installed practice fields and walking track at Sag Harbor Elementary School, as well as projects in the works on behalf of the school district at Mashashimuet Park.

The complication with the Pierson field, Ms. Graves said, is that it is taking a very long time for the new sod, laid down in the summer of 2017, to

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “I’ve been serious about music my whole life, and I still don’t think I can live without it. In this crazy political life I find myself in, it helps to sit down once in a while on the drums. It relieves some of the stress, just like it did when I was an adolescent. It’s definitely a release of tension. I love it.”

ARB Approves Window Plan

A

property owner at 39 Howard Street has abandoned a previous, much-debated plan to install contemporary, louvered windows — originally approved by the Board of Historic Preservation and Architectural Review in January of 2018 — in a new addition to be built onto an historic house.

Instead, a representative of the owner, Juliana Terian of Julane Properties LLC, last Thursday appealed to the board for simpler, six-oversix pane windows that resemble those in the original part of the house.

With a majority of the board saying the new window plans are better than what they previously approved — albeit with the membership of the board having changed significantly since it evaluated the plans in 2018 — the updated windows were approved, 4-0, with board member David Berridge abstaining.

“I think it’s a big improvement,” said the board’s historic preservation consultant, Zach Studenroth. “You don’t want to see new design attempting to appear as if it were old, but what kind of nips it in the bud for me is the roof line itself is so not historic. It’s so flat. It looks to me to be very clearly a new addition and not trying to repeat the original.”

Interim board chairman Dean Gomolka compared the previously approved, louvered design to “bar-

racks,” and said the newer look is better.

Architect Paul Regan, who said he is new to the project, also told the board, “The original windows have been reconditioned and are in place.”

The review board also approved renovations to a house at 39 Meredith Avenue in Azurest, 5-0, despite Mr. Berridge’s feeling that the design was less than ideal. The final four-bedroom, five-bathroom house, measuring 2,106 square feet, would be improved with a first-floor addition, dormers on the front and back, new windows and doors, a new roof and fresh, white paint.

The board conditioned its approval upon changes to

the columns featured on the front of the house to make them appear more functional.

“We’re not trying to win any awards,” said James Bennett, representing the property owner, Eastward Ventures LLC. “They don’t want to spend a fortune on the renovation. It’s been sitting there for 30 years. I think it’s fortunate you have someone who purchased it and wants to fix it up.”

Mr. Berridge countered, “I think someone who is going into a neighborhood should try harder.”

The property owner is also headed to Sag Harbor Justice Court later this month for allegedly having cleared too many trees from the lot.

he issue-based Express Sessions series will return to the American Hotel on Friday, April 19, with a focus on “Protecting Our Water,” bringing together leaders in environmental advocacy and local government to discuss one of the most critical issues facing the East End: water quality.

The event has sold out and coverage will be provided in the April 25 edition of The Sag Harbor Express, which

introduced the sessions in 2018 as a way to bring community leaders and experts in their fields to a casual setting to interact with members of the community. This is the last Express Session until October with a new round of topics to be announced later this summer.

Group for the East End President Bob DeLuca will be joined on the panel by Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming, Suffolk County Department of

Health Services Environmental Projects Coordinator Justin Jobin, Defend H2O President Kevin McAllister, Sag Harbor Zoning Board of Appeals Chairman Robby Stein and Concerned Citizens of Montauk President Laura Tooman. The discussion will be moderated by Sag Harbor Express co-publisher and consultant Bryan Boyhan and co-publisher and advertising director Gavin Menu and will begin at noon.

Springs Man Pleads Guilty to Felony Animal Cruelty Charge in Death of Cockapoo Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Sini on Friday announced a Springs man has pleaded guilty to aggravated cruelty to animals, a felony, following the death of a dog that belonged to a family member in December. Jose Galvez-Garcia, 22, faces a maximum sentence of two years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced by Suffolk County Court Judge Mark Cohen on May 14.

According to Mr. Sini, on December 2, 2018, Mr. Galvez-Garcia strangled a four-year-old cockapoo, then repeatedly stabbed the dog with a kitchen knife.

At the time of his arrest on December 3, police alleged Mr. Galvez-Garcia had killed the dog, named Simba, because he was upset with his aunt, who owned the dog. The dog’s body was discovered that day in a wooded area toward the end of Breeze Hill Road in Springs, leading to Mr. Galvez-Garcia’s arrest.

• William Crespo-Duran, 35, who is one of 17 men arrested in connection with law enforcement agencies’ takedown of a major narcotics operation in Montauk last summer, was sentenced last Wednesday, April 8, to six years in prison following his guilty plea to a felony drug charge.

A representative of Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Sini said last week Mr. Crespo-Duran, who went by the alias “Flaco” and is alleged by authorities to have been one of the ringleaders of the operation, will also have five years of post-release supervision. He pleaded guilty on February 20 to second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony. He has been in jail for about eight months since his arrest, which will count toward his sentence. Mr. Crespo-Duran was found at the time of his arrest to have 250 grams of cocaine, $22,000 in cash, scales and packaging materials at his residence, Mr. Sini said last summer.

Federal, state and local authorities worked together last year to investigate and ultimately bust the drug distribution ring, which had been operating in Montauk out of several bars and restaurants by as many as 17 men, most of whom were employed as seasonal workers. Two others, Antonio Ramirez-Gonzalez, 30, and Gilberto Quintana-Crespo, 32, have already been sentenced, while others await their turn in court.

along with drinking alcohol in a motor vehicle on a highway and unlawful possession of marijuana, both infractions, and multiple traffic violations. According to a police report, Mr. Walker was stopped for those alleged traffic infractions on County Road 39A near North Sea Road at about 5:16 p.m., and refused to provide identification. After Mr. Walker attempted to walk away, the report continues, additional police units from both Southampton Town and Southampton Village arrived to assist, and the defendant allegedly continued to be uncooperative. He also reportedly placed his New York State identification card in his mouth and began to chew on it. Officers were able to arrest him and held him for arraignment; bail information was not immediately available.

Mr. Walker is due back in Southampton Town Justice Court on April 24.

• Sara Ann Bielinski, 33, of Brooklyn was arrested April 5 by East Hampton Town Police and charged with firstoffense driving while intoxicated and operating a motor vehicle with a bloodalcohol content of .08 of 1 percent or more, both misdemeanors. According to a police report, Ms. Bielinski was stopped for allegedly having a broken taillight while she was driving north on South Delrey Road near Elihu Place in Montauk shortly after 2:30 a.m. Police said she showed signs of intoxication, said she performed poorly on field sobriety tests and said she failed a breath test. She was arrested at approximately 3 a.m., and was released on her own recognizance following her arraignment.

• Philip C. Iordanou, 43, of Muttontown, New York, was arrested April 9 by East Hampton Town Police and charged with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a felony; using a vehicle not equipped with an interlock device, a misdemeanor; seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, also a misdemeanor; and driving while ability impaired by the consumption of alcohol, an infraction. According to a police report, Mr. Iordanou allegedly committed two traffic violations on West Lake Drive in Montauk before an officer stopped him at about 10:35 a.m. He was said to show signs of intoxication and perform poorly on field sobriety tests. Additionally, the report states, the officer determined Mr. Iordanou’s license had previously been suspended for an alcohol-related suspense. He was arrested at approximately 11 a.m.; while in custody at police headquarters, two-and-ahalf Xanax pills were allegedly found in one of his pockets. Mr. Iordanou was released on $1,000 cash bail following

his arraignment.

• Anthony G. Wahl, 37, of Mastic Beach was arrested April 8 by East Hampton Town Police and charged with using a vehicle not equipped with an interlock device and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, both misdemeanors. According to a police report, when an officer pulled Mr. Wahl over on Montauk Highway near Old Montauk Highway in Wainscott, they determined his license had been suspended or revoked more than a dozen times, and noted he had been driving without an interlock device despite a restriction stating any vehicle he operates requires one. Mr. Wahl was arrested at 5:18 p.m. and was released on a $150 appearance ticket.

• Jeff Nichols, the principal of Pierson High School, reported April 9 to Sag Harbor Village Police receiving two harassing voicemails from a juvenile, one at approximately 1 a.m. and another at 3 a.m. that day. According to a police report, the voicemails threatened a call to an attorney and called a school bus driver a racial slur. Mr. Nichols told police he wanted the incident documented.

• A Division Street homeowner reported April 9 to Sag Harbor Village Police several youths ran up to his house and repeatedly knocked on the front door between 4:45 and 5:15 p.m. The homeowner told police he believed the youths were attempting to steal the doorbell. According to a police report, the youths were identified and will be given a talking-to by the Pierson Middle School principal.

• A resident of Division Street reported April 9 to Sag Harbor Village Police an incident of possible trespassing at approximately 7:50 p.m. According to a police report, the homeowner was in New York City when he realized the security cameras at his Sag Harbor house had been activated. Police responded and checked the house, finding everything to be secure. The homeowner later determined his handyman had visited the house.

• A 59-year-old Sag Harbor woman reported April 10 to Sag Harbor Village Police a possible scam involving a man named “Greg” she met on the dating website Zoosk. According to a police report, the man told the woman he knew her grandfather, and she gave him much personal information, including her social security number and past addresses. The report says the woman blocked “Greg,” but she later received a text message from him on her cell phone — a phone number she had not given him — telling her not to tell anyone what had happened because he “works for the C.I.A.”

Five Will Vie for Two Seats on School Board

Village Adopts $1.8 Mil Budget

Two incumbents, three newcomers in the mix

BY CHRISTINE SAMPSON

School board elections in the Bridgehampton School District have largely been uncontested in recent years. That is not the case this year, as five candidates have stepped forward to run for two open seats.

Those candidates are Randy Davis, Michael Gomberg, Carla Lillie, Jennifer Vinski and Angela Chmielewski.

Ms. Chmielewski, who has two children at the Bridgehampton School, is the vice president of the district’s Parent Teacher Organization. She has also served on the board of the Children’s Museum of the East End and the Parrish Art Museum’s Business Council. She works in real estate for Corcoran, and previously worked in financial services in New York. She was educated at Catholic and private schools in the city.

“I think I have a lot to offer. I definitely have a different perspective and experience,” Ms. Chmielewski said. “I think having a wide breadth of professional experience equips me. Anybody who knows me would say I’m a problem solver, which is pretty important on the board. I’m hard working and willing to do anything. Nothing is too big or too small.”

Mr. Gomberg, a parent of two children at the school, said he is running for a second term because he feels “there’s more to do.” He said he has advocated for more technology programs and resources for the students as well as for the hiring of the special education administrator. He began his board service by first joining the audit and budget committees.

“With any kind of administration, government or public sector, it takes time to get things done,” he said. “I’m excited with what the school is doing in terms of moving forward. I want to be a part of it.”

Mr. Gomberg studied accounting and finance and worked for Bear Stearns, then left to start his own financial services firm, which he ran for 14 years before selling it. He currently works for Edward Jones.

Ms. Lillie is a Bridgehampton native whose father, James Spooner, was a past school board trustee. She has three children who attend the school and attended Bridgehampton herself for several years before going to the

Ross School, where she was part of the first graduating class in 2001. She works as the medical biller and bookkeeper at East End Pediatrics.

She said she thinks the school does a good job of giving students individual attention, but can do a better job of expanding class options at the secondary school level as well as adding athletics and other programs.

“I grew up here and I really believe in the Bridgehampton School and the future of the school,” Ms. Lillie said.

“It’s important that everyone knows I have the school’s interests at heart.”

Ms. Vinski, seeking her third term, said she hopes to keep consistency on the board, saying “it’s crucial to where we are.” She is an elementary school special education teacher in the Southampton School District and has two sons at the Bridgehampton School. A resident of Bridgehampton since 2001, she joined the district’s audit committee before she ran for her first term in 2013.

“I feel pretty strongly that you don’t have to have all educators on a school board, but it’s pretty important to have at least one educator on a school board because ultimately a lot of our decisions are based on educational needs of students,” Ms. Vinski said. “I have the experience, the understanding and the knowledge of the inner workings of a school.”

Mr. Davis is a lifelong resident of Bridgehampton who has two children at the school. He has served as an elementary school basketball coach and Police Athletic League football coach for more than three years and has worked as a custodian for the Sag Harbor School District since 2006.

He said he supports the direction the Bridgehampton School is heading in and hopes to “bridge gaps.”

“You learn things working for the schools and I wanted to do more,” Mr. Davis said. “I understand my community. I understand that we are also trying to grow. No board members are perfect, but we have a common goal of trying to grow and build and teach.

I think that’s the biggest part. Trying to join the board is my duty in trying to give back to the community.”

Board petitions are due in to the district clerk by 5 p.m. on Monday, April 22.

Bridgehampton

Students Gear Up for War of Words

BY MICHELLE TRAURING

In between “Q” words, anagrams, front hooks and cheat sheets, playground gossip and giggles bubble to the surface, breaking a friendly tension over each Scrabble setup at the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center, teams of two seated on either side of the boards.

During practice, coaches Kathy Hummel and Shanae Pritchard tolerate the chatter, to an extent — with the understanding that on April 27 and 28 at the North American School Scrabble Championship, it stops.

But for the past two years, the Bridgehampton Center players have never needed a reminder. The competitive environment lends itself to quiet and concentration, with whispers exchanged only to talk strategy, timing and bingos, or the best way to use an “X,” “J,” or “Z.” It is all game and no play, Ms. Hummel explained. And on Monday night, the pressure was already mounting among the competitors, who are all under age 12.

“Oh, I’m gonna freak out when we

Child Care Center to send team into national contest get there,” 11-year-old Steven Tlapanco said. “I’ve never been to the championship.”

Donning “Bridgehampton Spelling Bees” t-shirts — with their slogan, “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an ‘I,’” printed on the back — Steven and his teammates will travel to Philadelphia next weekend to compete among hundreds of practiced Scrabble players from across the continent.

Over the course of two days, each team of two will play eight non-elimination rounds — six on Saturday and two on Sunday — moving up and down the ranks, and to the front and back of the room, accordingly. Each game may take no longer than 50 minutes, allotting 25 minutes for both teams to play their words and, most importantly, outscore their opponents.

It is no easy feat, Ms. Hummel emphasized, and in order to make this

season’s cut, the students have proved themselves during practices, which kicked off last fall. Level of Scrabble experience notwithstanding, each qualifying player has kept a stellar attendance record, she said. They picked up on strategies, showed a proficiency in scorekeeping and time management, and have all grown as players overall.

“In tournament Scrabble, because it is non-elimination, you have to be able to win or lose a game by one point or 1,000 points, catch your breath, sit down and do it all over again against somebody else,” Ms. Hummel said.

“You’ve got to be able to shake it off and not get too frustrated. I just keep reminding them, ‘It’s just a game. It’s just a game. It’s just a game.’”

With 100 million sets sold worldwide, Scrabble has grown from an underground craze to a cultural icon, invented by Poughkeepsie-based, outof-work architect Alfred Mosher Butts.

He combined a classic crossword puzzle with anagrams, studying the front page of The New York Times to determine letter frequency and, ultimately, to de-

Having made one change to its proposed budget since a public hearing earlier this month, the North Haven Village Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved a 2019-2020 spending plan of $1,838,083.

By a 4-0 vote, with member James Davis having left the meeting early, the board gave its approval for a budget that maxes out the amount the board can raise under the New York State cap on tax levy increases and without needing to pass special legislation to pierce the cap.

Even so, the tax rate is expected to drop slightly due to rising property tax assessments in the village. The rate is less than 1 cent per $1,000 of taxable assessed value; for example, for a house valued at about $1 million, village taxes would be about $486, down from about $494 this year. For a house with an assessed value of $850,000, taxes will decrease by $6.80.

The previous draft of the budget presented on April 2 was $1,805,650.

Impacting the final budget figure, according to village treasurer Eileen Tuohy, was the updated fire protection contract North Haven signed with Sag Harbor Village. That contract increased by $32,433 over the initial amount, bringing the total up to $632,433. Ms. Tuohy said the village used surplus monies, from its “unappropriated fund balance,” to offset that increase.

Other components of the approved budget include $143,500 for animal control expenses for more equipment to fight ticks and tick-borne illnesses, $167,500 for employee benefits and salaries and $45,000 for parks and recreation. The village will spend less on road maintenance, a reduction of $7,000, but spending on public roadways in general will rise by $25,000, up to $90,000, through a cost-neutral budget line that is funded by federal dollars.

Southampton

Residents to Receive Reassessment Bump Supervisor says may not result in higher taxes

BY KATHRYN G. MENU

The overall tax assessment is up 10 percent in Southampton Town, with an estimated 30,000 property owners expected to receive notice of increased assessments in the next week, two weeks earlier than usual, tax assessor Lisa Goree said at a Southampton Town Board work session on April 11.

The urgency in sending letters out early is an effort on the part of the assessor’s office to give residents ample time to discuss their assessments with the assessor’s office and potentially file grievances in advance of Grievance Day on May 21.

This year, according to a press release issued by town officials, beginning April 22, a grievance submission portal will be available to property owners on the town’s website, southamptontownny.gov.

During last Thursday’s work session, Supervisor Jay Schneiderman cautioned residents that an increase in the assessed value of their property will not necessarily mean an increase in property taxes as well.

“People automatically think if they get a letter that their property value went up that means their taxes went up,” said Mr. Schneiderman. “That is actually not true. It depends on the tax rate. If the tax rate goes down enough to offset the increase in property value, there is not an increase in taxes. There might even be a decrease. Over the last few years we have, every year, lowered the tax rate at the same time as we have seen property values across the town increase.”

The Town of Southampton is one of just a few towns in the state that operates as a full valuation town, where properties are taxed at their full value.

Every four years — including 2019 — the town takes a comprehensive look at its full assessment. In other years, assessments increased based on new construc-

tion or home improvements or on market trends in a particular neighborhood.

This year’s assessment is based on the sales period between July 1 of 2017 and June 30 of 2018, according to Ms. Goree.

Last Thursday, board members discussed how challenging increased assessments can be for residents on fixed incomes or young families starting out in their first home.

“We have talked about that — how can we protect the year-round family,” said Mr. Schneiderman.

Board members also expressed concerns about residents not pursuing the construction of affordable, accessory apartments — one of the cornerstones of the town’s affordable housing program — for fear of increased assessment. Mr. Schneiderman noted that if the construction is in an existing footprint of a residence, it should not increase property value, especially since that homeowner is limited in how much rent they can charge for the apartment. Mr. Schneiderman said residents should also know whether the construction of a nitrogenreducing septic system would increase their property value.

“People are putting these systems in and if they thought the property value would go up because they did the right thing for the environment, they might be upset about that and understandably so,” he said.

Ultimately, said Mr. Schneiderman, if assessments continue to rise, local governments and schools districts will need to lower their tax rates — and significantly so — to protect residents from large tax increases.

“It means we have to lower our tax rate, or we will probably pierce the cap and we don’t control the school districts which are 70, 80 percent of the tax bill,” said Mr. Schneiderman. “They are going to have to lower their tax rates.”

LCpl Jordan C. Haerter - Amazingly woven into the lives of so many -

Less than a year after proposing a group of supercharger stations — compatible with only its own electric vehicles — in the town-owned Kirk Park Beach parking lot in Montauk, the Tesla company returned to the East Hampton Town Board this week with a new plan that includes charging stations compatible with other vehicles in a parking lot off South Euclid Avenue.

On Tuesday, Edwin Xiao, a senior project developer with Tesla — the company made famous popularizing its electric car and other renewable energy technologies — presented the East Hampton Town Board with plans for a fast-charging, electric vehicle station that would include eight Tesla superchargers and an additional four Electrify America chargers, compatible with other kinds of electric vehicles.

The companies have been working with Kim Shaw, an environmental protection director with the town’s Natural Resources Department, to develop the plan for East Hampton, one of a handful of public-private partnerships Tesla has been developing throughout the state. Tesla and Electrify America will pay for the chargers and the installation. According to Mr. Xiao, it would cost $600,000 for the town to buy roughly the same chargers before installation and connecting to the power grid.

Electrify America is a subsidiary of the Volkswagen company, but accord-

ing to Rick Gershwin, a regional project manager for Electrify America, the goal of that subsidiary is not to promote Volkswagen charging stations but to proliferate stations across the country as the demand for electric cars surges and greater infrastructure is necessary to serve drivers. The company is investing $2 billion over 10 years into developing this infrastructure, with the goal of having 452 Electrify America stations online by the end of June.

“I think this is a much better location than Kirk,” said Councilman David Lys, although Lys questioned the lighting of the stations, raising concerns about nearby homeowners.

Mr. Gershwin said a certain amount of lighting was necessary for drivers pulling into the station and engaging in charging at the site but said it would be “low level light” and “dispersed.”

The area would also be screened with red cedar trees and American holly.

Mr. Lys noted that there are a number of different parking restrictions in the code and suggested an hour might prove a sweet spot where electric vehicles could move in and out of the lot in relatively short order, while drivers would still have ample time to shop in downtown Montauk.

“I think an hour is more than sufficient,” said Mr. Xiao. “I think one of the concerns was people would stay there too long and go to the beach.”

While Mr. Lys and Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc appeared supportive of the

plan, Councilwoman Sylvia Overby said she had concerns. “I think those charging stations look very urban to me and not in keeping with the character of the community,” she said. “And I think it is going to concern people who live in the neighborhood. Green glowing light? It doesn’t do well.”

“There is no ‘Ye Old Charging Station’ as far as I know,” joked Mr. Van Scoyoc.

“You are putting all the Tesla stations in the community in the furthest east parking lot, so anyone who owns a Tesla in Wainscott, in Springs, in Amagansett, you are going to be putting traffic down Montauk Highway to get to that Tesla station,” said Ms. Overby. “I still don’t understand why you didn’t consider other parking lots and why you did not consider other private parking lots.”

Mr. Xiao said the company looked at 20 different lots and given the town’s earlier concerns about the Kirk Park Beach parking lot, felt the South Euclid lot was the best fit. He added that the company has also installed more than 20 Level 2 chargers — a charger that can achieve a full charge in three to eight hours — in private lots as well, including places like LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, now home to four Level 2 chargers for Tesla drivers.

The company installed a supercharger station capable of charging up to eight vehicles between 30 to 40 minutes, in the parking lot at Café Crust on County Road 39 in Southampton in 2016.

“I know that was what we pressed you hard on last time — the fast chargers and universal chargers,” said Mr. Van Scoyoc. “I am pleased to see you come back with a proposal that offers more value to a broader spectrum of the general public.”

Several students from the East Hampton High School Environmental

‘There is no ‘Ye Old Charging Station’ as far as I know.’

SUPERVISOR PETER VAN SCOYOC

Awareness Club came out in support of the project at the start of the work session.

“Implementing electric chargers such as the ones proposed for this parking lot can provide both economic and environmental incentive to help protect Montauk’s environment,” said student Aubrey Peterson.

“Electric vehicles can also reduce noise pollution and improve air quality in the vicinity,” he added.

Junior Emma Silvera said the stations will be in “high demand.” “Also, electric charging stations will enable the Town of East Hampton to help achieve its goal of using renewable energy resources by 2030, which is only 11 years away.”

Gruber, GOP miss out

Primaries expected continued from page 1 Town Democratic Committee has officially endorsed incumbent Councilman John Bouvier and newcomer Craig Catalanotto. They are both Democrats who have also filed petitions to run on the Working Families party line; Mr. Bouvier has also filed an Independence Party petition. A third candidate, Eileen Duffy, also a Democrat, has set up a primary by filing petitions to run on the Democratic, Working Families and Independence party lines.

Also filing Independence Party petitions for Town Board were Hannah Pell, a registered Independence Party member, and Charles G. McArdle, a Conservative Party member. Mr. McArdle has been formally endorsed by the Republican Party, along with Richard Martel, a Republican who also filed a Conservative Party petition. Two Southampton Town Board seats are up for grabs, with Christine Scalera, the board’s sole Republican member, unable to run again due to term limits.

Theresa A. Kiernan, the incumbent Republican receiver of taxes, also filed a petition to run on the Conservative Party line. Gordon Herr, who chairs the Southampton Town Democratic Committee, will run as a Democrat and filed a petition to run on the Working Families party line. They both filed petitions for the Independence line, setting up a primary.

For the five trustee seats, incumbent Republicans Ed Warner Jr., the trustees’ president, and Scott Horowitz, the trustees’ secretary and treasurer, will run again with their party’s official endorsement. The Southampton Town Republican Committee has also endorsed Thea Fry, Donald Law and Megan Heckman. Ms. Heckman, Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Law have also filed Conservative and Independence party petitions, and Mr. Warner has also filed a Conservative Party petition.

Also for the trustees, Democratic incumbent Bill Pell and Independent

incumbent Ann Welker — who two years ago became the first woman elected as a town trustee — will run again. Mr. Pell also filed an Independence Party petition, and Ms. Welker also filed a Democratic Party petition.

Andrew J. Brosnan and David Mayer, both first time candidates who have been endorsed by the town Democratic committee, also filed Independence party petitions. Fred Havemeyer and Eric L. Shultz, both Democrats, have also filed petitions to run on the Democratic and Independence Party lines.

Gary J. Weber, running for reelection as Southampton Town justice, has been officially endorsed by the Southampton Town Republican Committee and has filed petitions to run on the Conservative, Independence and Green Party lines. A Democratic opponent, Brette A. Haefeli, declined a nomination for the seat.

David Betts, the Southampton GOP chairman, said the committee’s platform includes fiscal responsibility, government efficiency and making the town “more user friendly and responsible.”

“All of our candidates bring their own special experience to the voters on Election Day,” Mr. Betts said in an email. “Everything from prior and current elected public office administration, public service to local community service and more … our team has never been stronger with experienced candidates and some new candidates that will be very formidable and great choices.”

Mr. Herr, the Southampton Town Democratic Committee chairman, said in an email, “As the major political party in the Town of Southampton, with a super-majority on the town board, with nearly 2,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans, with an outstanding slate of candidates and with one of the most effective and strongest campaign teams in Suffolk County, I am confident that we will, once again, be successful in the General Elections on November 5.”

Lobster bar to open continued from page 1 to over the years have been asking me to come out there for 12 years,” he said. “I do believe I have a big crossover of clientele.”

In August 2018, Time Out New York called Ed’s Lobster Bar a “New England-style fish shack” and rated it one of the city’s 10 best seafood restaurants. “Expect superlative raw shellfish, delicately fried Ipswich clams and lobster served every which way: steamed, grilled, broiled, chilled, stuffed into a pot pie and — the crowd favorite — in the lobster roll,” Time Out wrote.

The new restaurant will serve lunch and dinner plus brunch on the weekends, and will have a full bar. Mr. McFarland is even taking a bite out of Bay Burger’s legacy with a possible weekly live music night.

He said “75 to 80 percent of the menu will be tried-and-true” to his New York City restaurant, along with “newer items we don’t do in the city.”

“The lobster roll is going to be made basically by the same person in the city and will be consistent — exactly the same,” he said.

Mr. Tremblay, who owned Bay Burger for 12 years along with his wife, Liza Tremblay, until last fall, told The Express he thinks “a high-quality seafood restaurant like Ed’s will be great

in this space.”

“I stopped in to the location in the city for lunch and loved the lobster roll,” Mr. Tremblay said. “I think they are bringing a lot of optimism and enthusiasm with them and I hope the community embraces them the way they did Bay Burger.”

Since Bay Burger closed, Ms. Tremblay has partnered with two other Sag Harbor entrepreneurs to launch The SHED, a co-working office and event space for women that began as a one-day-a-week pop-up at Estia’s Little Kitchen and recently expanded into a five-day space of its own in Bridgehampton.

The Tremblays also sold their ice cream business, Joe and Liza’s Ice Cream, to a local mother-and-son duo, Amy O’Donnell and Sean O’Donnell.

Ms. O’Donnell is a partner in another popular Sag Harbor business, GeekHampton, while Mr. O’Donnell has quite a fan base on Instagram — more than 1 million followers.

Mr. McFarland said his initial plans are to keep Ed’s Lobster Bar open in Sag Harbor for nine months of the year, closing for January, February and March and reopening in April. But, he said, “it’s all subject to change.”

“We’re looking for a robust customer experience and meeting what the community needs,” Mr. McFarland said. “If the community wants us for a full year, we will be open.”

it’s beyond disappointing to me,” he said. “I’ve devoted a lot of time and energy trying to bring good government to East Hampton and I’m not giving up.”

His pitch to the GOP committee — about 15 members were in attendance that night — could be considered symbolic of a party trying to rebuild itself following a couple of recent sweeps in town elections and legal troubles for former party chairman Amos Goodman, who has since stepped down from that post.

Reg Cornelia, a former East Hampton GOP chairman, said last Wednesday the committee had a “dilemma” — “take a seriously flawed candidate or take no candidate at all.”

Before Mr. Gruber spoke, Kyle Ballou, the committee’s secretary, told the members, “There are more ‘blanks’ now than Republicans in East Hampton.” He pointed out of the GOP’s 39 election district seats, only 31 are filled.

“And that is a loose number. You see how many people are here tonight,” Mr. Ballou said.

The issue affecting Mr. Gruber’s bid for the GOP supervisor nomination also impacted the Republican committee’s other candidates on what it has called a “fusion” ticket. Among them are Bonnie Brady, a Democrat, and Betsy Bambrick, who has no party affiliation, who have filed petitions to run in the town board race against Mr. Lys and Sylvia Overby, both incumbent Democrats who have also filed Working Families petitions. Two of the East Hampton GOP’s trustee candidates, Rona Klopman, a Reform Democrat, and Rick Drew, a Democrat, are also impacted. While those candidates are unable to run officially on the Republican line, they have filed petitions to run on other party lines.

“Though disappointed, the East Hampton Town Republican Committee is not deterred in its efforts to reach across party lines so that East Hampton Town voters have the broadest choice in selecting those who wish to serve our community first,” the committee said in a statement released Tuesday. “…The [committee] fully supports the assembled fusion ticket and has worked diligently on and pledges to support each candidate on that assembled fusion ticket, whether they appear on the Republican line or not.”

Scaled-Back Plans On Vickers St. Find Support ZBA members cite reduction of variances

BY KATHRYN G. MENU

Adam Scott and his husband, Chris Beacham, were tentatively approved Tuesday night for seven variances that will allow them to renovate their 5 Vickers Street residence — a proposal that has been scaled back from its initial application to the Sag Harbor Zoning Board of Appeals made roughly a year ago, when the couple and their architect, Richard Searles, asked for 14 variances to expand the 900-square foot home and build a pool on one of the property’s three front yards.

On Tuesday, Mr. Searles said in addition to relocating a pool to the rear yard of the property, a planned patio had been removed in an effort to reduce the number of variances needed to approve the project from eight to seven. Mr. Scott and Mr. Beacham needed approval for a pyramid variance of 3,207.25 cubic feet, a rear yard setback to allow the pool to be placed 5 feet from the property line where 15 feet is required, another rear yard setback for the construction of a stoop 5 feet from the rear lot line, two front yard setback variances to allow the addition to be situated 17.9 feet from Downer Place and 10.4 feet from Harrison Street where 30 feet is required and a height variance of 1.5 feet to allow for a proposed 5.5-foot pool fence.

Mr. Scott made an emotional plea to the board, noting he and Mr. Beacham “love this village” and are expanding the small residence in the hopes of starting a family that they plan to raise in Sag Harbor. The property they “could just barely afford” to purchase several years ago has proved challenging to renovate, said Mr. Scott, being a narrow lot with three front yards. Their application, he added, will set no new precedents and has the full support of neighbors in Chatfield’s Hill. Mr. Searles added that the residences surrounding Mr. Scott and Mr. Beacham’s property will still be larger than the house on 5 Vickers Street after the renovation.

“I think they have done as much as they could,” ZBA member Scott Baker said, noting it is a challenging site to develop because of the slope of the property.

“I think you have taken a very unique and difficult site and listened to us and turned in an application I probably could support,” said ZBA member Susan Mead.

“I just hope we are not encouraging

people to file multiple variances because the number of variances you filed for is eye-popping,” she added.

The board agreed, 5-0, in a straw poll it would support the project, which will be formally approved at its May 21 meeting. The board also voted, 5-0, that next month it will approve variances that will allow Carol Rollo to construct a small, one-story addition to a first-floor bedroom at 39 Garden Street with ZBA chairman Robby Stein calling the project “minimal.” A second story addition on the back of the existing residence at 44 John Street, owned by Scott Landau and Melissa Wilson, will also likely be approved next month after a 5-0 straw poll in favor of the project. Both expansions were designed by Sag Harbor architect Anthony Vermandois.

Michael Brosnan earned a 5-0 straw poll in favor of variances that will allow a building project, already underway at 19 Cuffee Drive, to move forward.

Mr. Brosnan brought the case to the village when he realized the property had been staked out improperly by a surveyor — only realizing it after construction of the residence had already begun.

Variances needed for the project to continue included a front yard setback of 23.8 feet, where 30 feet is required, to allow for a front porch and a side yard setback for a cellar entrance.

Board members seemed in agreement that where the home sits on the property largely conforms to the rest of the neighborhood.

Jeffrey Brock’s request for variances to allow for a two-story addition, the construction of new dormers, a swimming pool and deck at 17 Montauk Avenue failed to find the support from the board, largely due to the fact that plans for the pool have it in the front yard of the property and with no setback to the property line.

“I think there are way too many variances,” Mr. Baker said. “The pool is a problem. I would not approve it.”

“It is the historic district,” said Ms. Mead. “Everything we do creates a precedent and we have turned down similar applications.”

Board members did note with the pool removed, the number of variances needed for the project to move forward would be significantly reduced.

“The rest of it, as far as I can see, is fairly workable,” Mr. Stein said.

son-Pakula certificate, which is needed for a candidate registered in one party to appear on the ballot line of another party.

Mr. Gruber, who sought the supervisor’s nomination at an April 10 screening session after Richard Myers declined the East Hampton GOP’s nomination earlier in the week, said Tuesday the turn of events is “unexpected but in a way unsurprising.”

While he failed to gain access to the official Republican Party ballot line in East Hampton, Mr. Gruber will appear on the supervisor’s ticket in November as an Independence Party candidate.

He will face incumbent supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc, a Democrat who also filed a petition on the Working Families Party line.

Mr. Gruber said he was “delighted” to earn the GOP’s support last week.

“I thought it went very well,” he said.

“They were tough and understandably skeptical, and I welcomed that.”

The East Hampton GOP will still actively campaign for Mr. Gruber, according to party chairman Manny Vilar.

“It was just a time compression problem,” Mr. Vilar said Tuesday. “There just wasn’t enough time to get through the works. All our candidates will be on the Independence and Conservative party lines, so it’s not like we don’t have anybody on the ballot.”

In the 2018 special election for a town board seat, Mr. Gruber was denied the opportunity to run on the Independence Party line after the East Hampton Town Republican Committee successfully sought to have his Independence Party petition invalidated in court. Mr. Gruber ultimately lost a Democratic primary to Councilman David Lys. Mr. Gruber, who has also run unsuccessfully for town supervisor, helped elect Democratic candidates by diving into the inner workings of the party committee for many years.

During last Wednesday’s GOP screening session, Mr. Gruber told the Republican committee members he wanted to disrupt the “monster, this Democratic machine monopoly” that he said he helped create.

“I have worked hard for many years trying to elect Democrats for this town and was pretty successful, but when I look back at the results of those efforts

“She is a legendary local personality that is deeply rooted and involved in her community,” added Mr. Evans.

“She is a dynamic personality — we love those at WLNG — and she is not only a female voice but a voice for women as she always explores new facets of her talent and life and she knows how to connect us.”

With a once-a-week radio show, Ms. Grice plans to continue to grow her other, local, creative pursuits including her theater company, boots on the ground, which will present a new production that Ms. Grice is currently writing next spring at the Southampton Cultural Center. The production will bring together Harriet Beecher Stowe, Louisa May Alcott, Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Tubman for a conversation from some of the most celebrated women of the 19th century.

“They were active abolitionists, all of them,” she said. “The production will be in honor of the Centennial of Women’s Suffrage and the Bi-Centennial of the birth of Susan B. Anthony.”

In the meantime, Ms. Grice is anxious to get back in front of the mic.

“And I get my own jingle.”

“It’s in my hometown,” she said.

“That is part of the excitement for me — it is one thing to work locally, and certainly working at WPBB was working for a local station, but this feels like it is just truly boots on the ground, you know?”

Ms. Grice is excited to work with the station’s manager, Gary Sapiane, and said the new owners, Sandra Foschi and Bill Evans, have been incredibly supportive and bring a passion and energy to the station that is invigorating.

“They are all about keeping the station local and a part of the community,” said Ms. Grice. “It’s what that station is all about.”

Ms. Foschi and Mr. Evans, a former senior meteorologist for WABC-TV, the ABC affiliate in New York, purchased WLNG Radio and its Redwood Causeway property in October for a reported $3.9 million.

“I have long admired her engaging radio shows and interview skills, but when Sandra and I met Bonnie — one recognizes how talented and creative she is,” said Mr. Evans in an email on Wednesday morning. “We are hon-

A Rabbi Resigns

W

hile blessed with a beautiful waterfront, the residents of Sag Harbor do not enjoy the same abundant amount of green space. So, we make do with what we have, which includes Mashashimuet Park, the largest area for recreational activity in the Sag Harbor area.

The park was gifted to the Sag Harbor community by Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage, whose mission, in part, was aimed at “the mental and physical development and improvement of children and young people as a means of equipping them for good citizenship.” For nearly 100 years, the park has been run by a board charged with looking after that mission, and just this year, the park board pushed forward with construction of a new playground that lately, as the weather has improved, has been packed full of smiling children.

The cost of the playground was substantial, in the neighborhood of $375,000, and a portion of that balance is outstanding. A formal ribbon-cutting celebration is planned for Saturday, May 4, with a fundraising campaign still very much in need of support.

In addition to private donations, the park benefits from arrangements with the Sag Harbor School District, which pays to use the fields for fall and spring sports, and the tennis facility, which also generates rental income. Other groups like Little League and the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League (HCBL) use the park during the spring and summer months and leaders of those organizations have grown increasingly more dedicated to helping improve Mashashimuet Park, especially when it comes to baseball and softball.

The new leaders of the Sag Harbor Whalers, which is the original collegiate baseball team on the East End, understandably have a difficult time separating the collegiate league from the children who use the park on a more regular basis. They are parents first and foremost who are now helping run operations for the collegiate Whalers. Their hope is to work with the park board on improvements that would come entirely through donations or funding from the HCBL, and they already have accomplished a few projects, including the renovation of a Little League baseball field to make it regulation.

They have plans to replace an old batting cage and have other projects on the radar intended to make the experience of watching collegiate baseball games better for everyone involved.

Their real drive, however, is to use the HCBL as a way to make the park more enjoyable for the children who use it year round, which is consistent with the park’s mission. Improved baseball and softball facilities will benefit everyone from Little Leaguers on up to Pierson’s varsity programs. Since the park is a private entity, there are hurdles to clear and other sides to consider.

But just as Mrs. Sage wanted to use the park as a path to good citizenship for children, it’s nice to see the park board working with outside groups to improve one of the true jewels of the Sag Harbor community.

Full Charge Ahead

he East Hampton Town Board is considering a second proposal by the Tesla company to install an electric vehicle charging station — at no cost to taxpayers — in a public parking lot in downtown Montauk. The proposal, less than a year since Tesla pitched having a Tesla-only charging station in the highly visible Kirk Park Beach parking lot on Montauk Highway, now includes charging stations that are universal to all electric vehicles in addition to stations compatible with just those manufactured by Tesla.

The reality is more and more drivers are switching to electric vehicles, and rightly so. As we ideally move further away from reliance on fossil fuels, tapping into energy resources derived from solar, wind and geothermal energy, investing in infrastructure will be critical to support residents and visitors who choose more environmentally sustainable forms of transportation.

The Walking Tour BY MICHAEL HELLER

Letters to the Editor A Different Picture Dear Editors: John Steinbeck wrote in his novel “The Winter of Our Discontent,” “You know how advice is — you only want it if it agrees with what you wanted to do anyways.”

The irony of Steinbeck’s words strikes at the heart of what you refer to in your editorial. Most people are of the mistaken belief that the Village is getting a John Steinbeck Memorial Park in return for all the approvals and variances it granted on the townhouse development at 2 West Water Street. The details provide a different picture and worrisome as those who attempted to express their concerns did not as public comment periods had been closed for months, even as material changes were still being placed into the public record for the first time as recently as the Harbor Committee’s meeting on April 8. All of which makes Mr. Steinbeck’s words all the more poignant when viewed in the context of what the village got in the deal and what it gave up.

The village got about an acre of land costing $10.5 million (funds received from the Community Preservation Fund which consists of real estate transfer taxes previously paid but not used), avoidance of commercial development of the property it is buying and removal of some eyesore buildings. As you address, funding for development of the actual park was not part of the deal.

The village gave up more than a third of an acre of Sag Harbor Cove to be used for a private dock with six boat slips. As context, the village’s A dock on West Water Street covers half as much water surface area and harbors 22 boats. This approval was granted without discernible discussion on public waterway usage rights of a public body of water or its adverse impact to a navigation channel and public safety. Shoreline environmental or ecological impacts were not evaluated to address the adverse impact of blanketing in darkness this large an area of shallow water and home to spawning bluefish, minnow and horseshoe crab or the installation of a bulkhead that will erode the very shoreline of the purchased property.

It also risks losing control over commercial development and height restrictions on the waterfront and harbor area.

In granting a 400 percent variance to allow 45-ft. tall buildings it created a dangerous legal precedent for future development. The application for the Post Office vacant lot development has already been re-submitted to increase from two to three-story mixed use structures. It is almost a certainty that development applications are in the future for the 7-Eleven building, the Malloy/Long Wharf buildings and the Bridge Street parking lot after the Village’s lease runs out, all aimed at increasing their footprint to 45-ft. high and as mixed-use structures.

An old picture of Sag Harbor Cove from the days when John Steinbeck actually called Sag Harbor home was sub-

mitted in the application for this project. It shows a cute fishing pier with rowboats and lots of people enjoying themselves on a sandy shore. When people refer to the village’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program and Waterfront Consistency Review that’s the picture that comes to my mind.

How about you?

Larry Haag Sag Harbor

Pursuing Excellence Dear Sag Harbor Express, My name is Julian Barrowcliffe. Growing up in England, in a working class family where nobody had any further education, I was fortunate to gain a place at an excellent school. The education I received there transformed my opportunities in life, and ever since then I have been passionate about the importance of the best education possible, for everyone. This is why I am running for Sag Harbor School Board.

I believe that my life experience makes me a very strong candidate for the school board. Educationally, I have an honours degree in Business Administration and French from Loughborough University Of Technology in England.

Professionally, I spent 27 years working in finance in New York, in senior positions at Bankers Trust, Merrill Lynch and Bank of America, where I built and ran complex businesses employing teams around the globe. Everyone who has ever worked with me will say that I am a team player. Personally, I have been on the board of a private, not for profit school in Manhattan for seven years, and I have a 13-year-old in Pierson Middle School, and five-year-old twins entering Sag Harbor Elementary. One of my five-yearolds has autism.

I learned at the recent budget presentation in Noyac that we spend $45,033 per pupil. To put that in perspective, the U.S. average in 2015 was $11,392, and the New York State average in 2016 was $22,366. With this in mind, I strongly believe that we should have one of the greatest school districts on Long Island without additional burden on local taxpayers. I am asking for Sag Harbor’s support so that I can serve the community and students. Let us work to make Sag Harbor School the best that it can be.

central figure in the realms of social justice and religious life in Suffolk County, Rabbi Dr. Steven Moss, for 28 years the chairperson of the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission, is retiring.

Not only has Rabbi Moss led the commission but he is cochair of the Suffolk County Anti-Bias Task Force, and over his 25 years with the county task force has gone from town to town in Suffolk successfully working for the establishment of town anti-bias task forces. Further, he is chairperson of the Suffolk County Community College-based Center for Human Understanding and Social Justice featuring the Holocaust Collection. And he is director and founder of STOP/BIAS, an educational program for bias/hate crime offenders.

He has spoken at Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor about these activities along with the laws in Suffolk prohibiting discrimination.

Rabbi Moss served three terms as president of the Suffolk County Board of Rabbis. And he holds the rank of Chief of Chaplains with the Suffolk County Police Department and been a department chaplain since 1986.

Since 1972, he has been the rabbi at B’nai Israel Reform Temple in Oakdale and thus is the longest-serving synagogue rabbi in Suffolk County.

He will become rabbi emeritus at B’nai Israel upon his retirement in July. He is involved in “redefining” his many other positions. For example, he will step down as chair of the Center for Human Understanding and Social Justice, but will remain a member of its board.

He would like “to remain involved” in activities here but is “aware of the responsibility anyone has as a chair.” At B’nai Israel, “when needed by any congregant I will come back,” he said. He notes his long and deep connection with the families of the congregation. “I named the current president and bar mitzvahed him.” When a teacher or doctor retires, she or he “can’t continue, but a rabbi is always a rabbi.” He also bar mitzvahed now U.S. Representative Lee Zeldin, whose district includes Sag Harbor, his family members of the congregation.

Rabbi Moss and his wife, Judy, will be spending part of the year in Florida and part at their home in Holbrook.

The retirement of Rabbi Moss—although he still will be involved in some of his many activities—represents an incalculable loss for Suffolk County. Nevertheless, his many decades of service have been a huge gift to this county and its people.

I know Rabbi Moss well. He was our family’s rabbi when we lived in Sayville. My wife, Janet, and I became friends with Rabbi Moss and Judy, a teacher. I’ll never forget when they first came to our house and he spoke about how, in addition to being the rabbi at B’nai Israel, he ministered to cancer patients—including children with terminal cancer—in New York City. What a commitment to humanity that reflected. He mentioned last week that he was a chaplain for the New York Board of Rabbis working at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from 1970 to 2000 and “the longest-serving chaplain” for the board.

I recall vividly 1973 and the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War, when it looked like Israel could be destroyed, Rabbi Moss giving a sermon at B’nai Israel providing comfort and wisdom to a synagogue full of frightened congregants.

He will be moving to “the next stage in my life—moving to a different spiritual stage in my life.” He will be translating a 17th Century book “on death and dying” out of the mystical teachings of Judaism of the Kabbalah, writing a book on his spiritual encounters with God, and a history of “the anti-bias task force” activity in Suffolk County.

Rabbi Moss is an avid cyclist and on June 18 will embark on a 60-mile ride from the gates of the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland to Krakow, a center of Jewish life before the Holocaust. Also, he will visit Vilna in Poland where in the 19th Century “my grandmother’s grandfather served as a rabbi.”

Raised in Belle Harbor in the Rockaways, he was “always interested in Jewish spirituality and religion.” Indeed, at his home synagogue, he recalled, he gave a sermon when he was 11. At 12, he wrote to the graduate school for rabbis and cantors, Hebrew Union College, asking for admittance to study to be a rabbi. He was advised that he needed to graduate college first. And he did, at NYU, and then when he arrived at Hebrew Union there was “an amazing thing at the interview—they had my letter.”

His involvement in social justice, he said, derives from “a rabbi’s role and the role of the Jewish community and Jewish people that we must be inclusive, that God is in every human being, that we are all equal before God. And everyone in the community, every person, has an equal role.”

His Temple B’nai Israel is a success story in Suffolk.

“When I came in 1972, 50 families were members. Now there are 400.” A spiritual success story, too, is Rabbi Steven Moss.

With Robert Mueller’s full report about to be released in some capacity, on a scale of 1 to 10 how excited are you to learn what it contains, with 1 being completely uninterested and 10 being you absolutely can’t wait?

Jonathan Treiber “I’d say about a 1. I think it’s over-hyped. I think that the amount of press that it’s gotten is, in my opinion, a bit of overkill, and I think that the general public generally wants a certain answer, and will ask the same questions until they get it.”

Rick McDonald “It would have to be a 6-1/2. I’d like to hear the truth, since we paid for it. I think everybody’s entitled to a full version of the report, no matter what it says. I hope that there’s no crime, and I hope we can forget about it for a while.”

A CONVERSATION WITH

THE SURVEY

Dan Roe

This week, 43 of you responded to our survey. This is what you had to say.

The Ross School will debut a new series of events called the Nexus Lecture Series on April 27, bringing thought leaders and experts to the East Hampton school. Mr. Roe, a 2004 Ross School graduate who serves as the school’s director of communications, is part of the school committee that planned the public lecture series.

By Christine Sampson

MAD LIB

What is the Ross School’s goal in launching the Nexus Lecture Series?

The first thing I should say is that this isn’t a fundraising initiative in any way, shape or form. The cost of the tickets goes toward covering the cost of the event, and anything left over goes toward the next event. When Mrs. [Courtney] Ross founded the school, she had enlisted the help of and collaborated with a whole variety of scholars from different disciplines and places throughout the world. The whole mission of the Ross School is to push the boundaries of what a school is supposed to be or what we think of when we think of a school. We wanted to continue to bring scholars to campus and bring thought leaders and thinkers form a variety of backgrounds to campus, and we also wanted to bring something to the community that would be a public event to see if we could expand what a school is supposed to be in a community.

By Ted Littleford

Would it be accurate to say Ross School has consciously and consistently had a goal of interacting with the community in this type of way?

One of the tough things about talking about Ross is that there’s so many different facets to it. There is a complex kind of way about looking at education. I wouldn’t say that it’s always been part of the mission to interact with the community in that kind of way. It’s more the case that part of the Ross mission has always been to redefine what a school is. That could be in very ambitious ways but it could also be in simple ways. If a school is meant to be a place of education, can we expand that to be more than just the students in the classroom? Can we be a place of education for everyone? Most schools have a community component, but what makes this different is that were trying to bring the Ross model of education to the community.

Most schools have a community component, but what makes this different is that were trying to bring the Ross model of education to the community.

What does it take to be able to schedule such heavy hitters as Bob Roth, Dr. Johannes Wageman and Dr. Shefali Tsabary for the series?

It actually was not as difficult as I assumed it would be. There were a lot of people who we reached out to who were simply too busy for the moment. We have some really cool people lined up for the summer and we’re working on bringing in a new series entirely that will center on Buddhism in general. The people who were free were super excited about it and we gave them a list of dates where our campus was free on a Saturday evening. We just worked out the logistics. Everyone we reached out to has been very enthusiastic about the idea, so it was not as challenging as I thought it would be.

The biggest challenge has been getting the word out.

Will there be student interaction as well?

Because this is a public event, all the students are welcome to come. Since every lecture is going to be maximum 30 minutes with the rest of the meeting devoted to questions and answers, I would say everyone in the audience will be a student in one way or another.

The Nexus Lecture Series kicks off on Saturday, April 27, featuring Bob Roth, chief executive officer of the David Lynch Foundation and the author of the 2018 ​New York Times​ best seller​ “Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation.”

Future speakers include Dr. Johannes Wagemann, a psychologist, anthropologist and philosopher who is a professor of consciousness studies at Alanus University in Germany, and Dr. Shefali Tsabary, who blends clinical psychology and Eastern mindfulness into her practice and New York Times bestselling writings. Tickets to each event are $75. For more information, visit ross.org.

One Flew Out of The Cuckoo’s Nest

April 2019 The Village of Sag Harbor Highway Department will pick up leaves and light brush the week of April 22nd – April 26th. This program is for a single pick up. Once your material has been carted away, additional debris cannot be placed on the roadside. The Highway Department will begin on one side of the village and work street to street, until all roads have been picked up. Brush can be no longer than 8’ in length and no more than 3” in diameter. Please separate brush from leaves as mixed piles will be bypassed.

This program is for winter yard clean up only. Land clearing material will not be picked up. Leaves will not be picked up from any private roads in the village.

Please do not pile anything on or in front of the fire hydrants or storm drains.

YOUR COOPERATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED BY THE VILLAGE OF SAG HARBOR HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

Too much misinformation, 24 hours of “news” (everything is now “breaking” news), too many conflicting facts, too many talking heads. Too many ads, too many “he said she said.” Just too many choices for the truth.

In an age of high-speed lies and polarization, we’re all inmates, unsure of where we are and who’s in control.

And who knows what’s in the pill (the news) that we’ve been told to swallow.

Michael Cohen, on February 27, was Jack Nicholson disguised as R.J. Murphy in the 1975 movie “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.” Because, like Murphy’s character, and at least for a day, Cohen opened the doors. He let in some light. He rounded us up, got all of us — the inmates — out and onto the bus, then drove the bus hell-bent off the asylum’s grounds and through the institution’s huge gates into a sunny day of connected dots.

Criminal though he is, insecure and in need of a father figure, Cohen at least testified that we were all, ALL, baffled and bamboozled.

And it wasn’t just by Trump. We created a crazy culture. We weren’t watching. We weren’t paying attention. Maybe we won’t have to go through more years of being incarcerated in the cuckoo nest, but if we end up there, we’ll have only ourselves to blame.

Mr. Cohen, who’ll be in jail, warned us. On February 27 for 7 hours straight, with one bathroom break and a half hour to have a meal, he warned us. It doesn’t make him a hero but it also doesn’t make him a villain. He was looking for someone to follow: Trump as his Jim Jones. Signing on to Scientology.

Drink the Kool-Aid, throw yourself off the roof for the cult. That’s what he did and that’s how he’ll end up.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. A cautionary tale if ever there was one.

Criminal though he is, insecure and in need of a father figure, Cohen at least testified that we were all, ALL, baffled and bamboozled.

• Can we see more shellfish aquaculture?

• Why are people allowed to build so big and so close to the water?

• Most of the waters of Sag Harbor are almost completely surrounded by hundreds of closely spaced individual septic systems.

What is the danger? If there is significant danger, can it really be addressed by upgrading the individual systems as opposed to installing a community wide solution as now exists for the Main Street area? In either case, don’t we need a greater sense of urgency?

• Do we have a “Blue Plan” like the one they are doing in CT for Long Island Sound?

YESTERDAY’S EXPRESS

FOREVER YOUNG

t wasn’t a matter of whether one was liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat. And even though it took place more than a month ago, I felt Wednesday, February 27 — when Michael Cohen testified before the House Oversight Committee — was a watershed moment after two-plus years of a puzzle whose pieces never fit.

Seven hours of watching and listening finally offered up a narrative for the chaos of news sound bites — fake news or “real.”

I once counted on “Morning Joe” to find and tell the truth. Turns out they didn’t always get it right. And Fox was state run.

So Rachel Maddow would be the truth at the end of every day. She at least followed the beginning of a story and reminded us of historical precedence, but by the end of the show there was still confusion and chaos passing for truth.

Every night I went to bed unbalanced, discombobulated and had, for a straight two years, very bad dreams.

Towns falling apart, trains and planes going off the tracks and falling out of the sky. People screaming at one another and getting into fights.

But after hearing Cohen — granted a confessed liar and criminal, a notso-bright guy looking for a “there” where there was none, but finding it in Trump — we had a line of action we could follow. We had names and dates. It didn’t matter which side one was on; it mattered that there was a beginning, a vague middle, and at last, to date, more or less a map from There to Here. Cohen was telling the story. Television was the campfire we were sitting around listening to the counselor telling us a riveting and frightening story.

At the end of the day and for days afterwards I wondered if Cohen’s “testimony” would have been so necessary a road to follow if this administration hadn’t come into being during (and maybe because of) the social age; a social media that made it possible to lie to us, distract us, disengage us from memory and fact.

This Friday’s “Protecting our Water” Express Sessions event will focus on local water quality issues. What are your primary concerns and what would you ask a panel of experts to address?

• Sewage, plastics, toxic pesticides and carcinogens in the sea, which includes from boats, septic right on the shoreline, and dumping • I still have well water and the last Suffolk Water Department analysis showed no problems. Nevertheless, I am concerned. Do you recommend that I have county water installed?

• I am concerned about our drinking water. Why has the DEC allowed the sand mine eight more years to poison our water?

• Can we close down the pits on Millstone Road, that are over our water aquifer!!!!!

• How to expedite the Sand Land clean up?

• How can we get the DEC to admit that there is contamination in the aquifer beneath the Sand Land Mine and how do we get the DEC to address cleaning this up?

• How do we address septic and fertilizer runoff?

• Coastal wetland areas provide natural habitat to treat stormwater runoff prior to entering the bay. Is there funding available to assist the Village in diverting stormwater to biotreatment areas?

Last Saturday, the Pierson baseball team played its first league game with Westhampton. They played a very fast and good game.

The battery, Schultz and Jones, was in good working order. Schultz had sixteen strike outs to his credit with only three hits against him.

Eddie Jones, our star catcher, who uses his new hat to dust off the plate, made two very pretty hits and caught two Westhampton players napping on third. Despite this, Westhampton carried home the bacon by a score of 2 to 1, both runs being secured early in the game.

Complaints About SUV

tion assistance.

Ms. Tice asked whether the district’s transportation contracts would still be profitable for Sag Harbor if the district purchased the SUV; Ms. Graves said it would be, and that that revenue is separate from student tuition from Sagaponack students. Ms. Graves also said it would yield some savings in operational costs.

Ms. Kolhoff asked whether declining to purchase the SUV would lead to the chance that Sagaponack would not use Sag Harbor as its transportation contractor.

“It’s very important to them,” Ms. Graves said. “Different [school] boards have different priorities.”

When it was the community’s turn to speak, Jeff Peters, Sharon Botto and Sandi Kruel objected to the purchase of the SUV. “It’s not being fair to taxpayers now because we’re paying more money now to bring these kids,” Mr. Peters said, referring to the Sagaponack transportation contract.

“It doesn’t cost the taxpayers any money. It actually generates revenue for the district,” Ms. Graves countered.

“Did you promise Sagaponack that we would pick them up at their front door?” Mr. Peters asked.

“That contract is still under negotiation,” Ms. Graves replied.

Ms. Botto, who is employed by a private company as a bus driver, said, “I don’t want to find out we need two more Suburbans because we need to accommodate Sagaponack.”

Ms. Kruel challenged the ballot proposition as a whole.

“For me, it should have been two different propositions,” she said. “I am not convinced that our weather is that horrendous — with two inches of snow this year, with no water by the school district and with a fire department that is absolutely amazing and outstanding that would be here in about two seconds to help us out — that we need an SUV for that. You need to give the public a choice to vote for the bus that our students need and to vote for the SUV that would supplement our income and negotiations with another district.”

bers in case those positions were needed mid-year. Superintendent Katy Graves said the district could tap into one of its end-of-year surplus accounts, called the “unassigned fund balance,” if the need for those items arose in the future. The school board would have to approve budget transfers for any money spent that way.

Ms. Graves said making these moves would also help the district protect its high Moody’s bond rating, which allows the district to save money on interest payments whenever it has to borrow money.

Board member Brian DeSesa agreed with Ms. Kolhoff, saying, “We would have greater control over security because it would come before the board at a later date.”

Board member Susan Lamontagne said she had concerns that more savings could still be found, particularly when it came to transportation, but said the second budget option “makes complete sense and I appreciate all the work that everybody did to identify that.”

And while she ultimately supported the lower budget option, board member Chris Tice said she still wanted more choices.

“I’m not happy that these are my two choices, but I would go with ‘option two’ and urge that we be as transparent as possible,” she said. “If we’re moving around a lot of money after the budget is passed … then it’s hard to have a certain level of confidence.”

The board on Tuesday remained steadfast on an additional ballot proposition to ask the community for permission to spend money from its transportation reserve fund on a new full-size school bus and a “fleet Suburban” $74,922 Chevrolet sport-utility vehicle. Some community members voiced opposition to the purchase of the SUV — which has been identified as a component of a possible transportation contract renewal with the Sagaponack Common School District — but the two vehicles have been combined into one proposition for the Sag Harbor ballot, which cannot be modified because such proposals have legal posting requirements ahead of time in local newspapers and on their websites. The board needs voter approval to spend money from this particular transportation fleet reserve fund, which Ms. Graves said was established by referendum in 2017, and which she said is fed by money from Sag Harbor’s transportation contracts with the Sagaponack and Wainscott school districts.

“We have $2 million in our fleet reserve. This does not affect our taxpayers. Our taxpayers are not paying for this vehicle,” Ms. Graves said of the proposed Suburban. “…It hopefully will help flourish another transportation contract as well, but also, the [Sag Harbor] school district will own this.”

She also said it would come in handy in extremely inclement weather situations in case students are in precarious situations and need transporta-

Cut Indoor Turf The school board on Tuesday also made a last-minute decision to slash $30,000 from the budget to eliminate the purchase of a syntheticgrass indoor playing field surface, which athletic director Eric Bramoff pitched a few weeks ago in his department’s budget. Some board members wanted to have more indepth conversations about the synthetic turf gym mat before committing to its purchase.

Ms. Tice said she was uncomfortable keeping in an expense line for something that may ultimately be rejected.

“I don’t think we should put in the budget something that hasn’t been vetted,” Ms. Tice said.

The board ultimately decided to further reduce the budget and send the possibility of buying the synthetic turf playing surface to the district’s Educational Facilities Planning Committee for evaluation.

“The beauty of Scrabble is you cannot play the same game twice,” Ms. Hummel said. “It’s absolutely impossible. It all has to do with what you draw out of the bag.

“You can learn all the words, you can be a very, very talented person — as far as memorizing words — but if you don’t draw the letters, you can’t make the words,” she continued. “That’s the excitement, and also the frustration.”

Today, the game, manufactured by Milton Bradley, is found in one of every three American homes, and official Scrabble championships — nationals and worlds — are held on alternate years, according to Ms. Hummel, who worked for the National Scrabble Association from 1990 to 2000.

“While I was there, Milton Bradley and the Association had a conversation about tournament Scrabble being around for 20 years, and they were looking at it saying, ‘Well, eventually some of these people are going to want to retire, and how do we feed a tournament environment for Scrabble?’” she recalled. “So the School Scrabble program was developed.”

With more than 250,000 children playing in 20,000 schools and libraries nationwide, the next generation of Scrabble fanatics is steadily growing and, in Bridgehampton, eager to travel to the annual North American School Scrabble Championship, which began in 2003.

“I play with the kids, I play with my family, but I’ve never competed,” she said. “So I give the kids all kinds of props for being willing to put themselves out there and say, ‘Hey, look, today I’m gonna go out there and I’m gonna play 300 minutes of Scrabble against six other teams over the course of a day with a lunch break.

I’m gonna learn all these words and I’m gonna learn how to score, and I’m 11 years old.’ I am, totally, very proud of them.”

The coach keeps that in mind when she goes toe-to-toe with a sixth grader, and sometimes loses, she said with a laugh. The students keep her humble, as does the game’s signature mix of strategy and sheer luck of the draw, she said.

“When they’re first starting, I may not play ’em down that 85-point play, but when it gets closer to tournaments, I don’t hold back — and they give it to me, as well,” she said. “They’ll tell their parents, ‘We beat Mrs. Hummel! We beat Mrs. Hummel!’ They have no problem doing the victory dance on that.”

Obituaries Theodore L. Babula Jr.

Theodore L. Babula Jr., aged 72, passed away unexpectedly Saturday April 6, at Atlanta Piedmont Heart Institute. He was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on January 21, 1947, to Ruth Field and Theodore Babula Sr. He later moved to Sag Harbor. After high school, he served in the United States Navy for four years aboard the USS William R. Rush.

In December 1968, Mr. Babula married Susan Hallock. After living in Sag Harbor for 20 years, the couple moved to Naples, Florida, and then on to the Ocala area in Florida. They eventually settled in Ellijay, Ga. Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Babula celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in Ellijay surrounded by family and friends.

Mr. Babula was always quick with a joke, and known for his sarcasm.

He had a big heart and always had a smile for everyone. He loved his Wednesday night trivia games at the American Legion with his friends. Mr. Babula was also a member of the Disabled American Veterans and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and was also a member of the American Legion for many years.

Mr. Babula was a dedicated and loving husband, father, brother, uncle, g r a nd f at he r, and friend. He is survived by his wife Susan, and their two daughters, Michelle Miller and Judith Al- THEODORE BABULA JR. len, Michelle’s husband Brian Miller, and their children Garrett and Leah, and Judith’s husband Eric Allen, and their daughter, Erica. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Alan and Sharon Babula, his sisters Robyn Legrand and Karen O’Connell, and many loved nieces and nephews.

No services are planned at this time, but a celebration of his life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer donations be made in Mr. Babula’s name to the American Legion Post 0082, Ellijay, Georgia.

Dorothy Sherry

Dorothy Sherry, a resident of Howard Street, Sag Harbor for 50 years until moving to Maryland in 2013, died on Monday, April 8, in Chester, Md. Dorothy Lorraine Briggs was born in Sioux City, Iowa, on January 19, 1926, to Arthur Townsend Briggs and Mathilda Holm Briggs. Her mother immigrated to the United States with her parents from Oxbol, Denmark, and the family was proud of its Scandinavian heritage. Mrs. Sherry graduated from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., where she mowed lawns and did other odd jobs to pay her tuition at the Lutheran liberal arts college.

After college, Mrs. Sherry went to work in Chicago, Ill., at the Needham, Louis & Brorby advertising agency. It was here, she told family, that a colleague, John Olden Sherry, came by her desk and flirtatiously “twirled her typewriter” knob. The gambit on Mr. Sherry’s part worked and the couple was married on January 8, 1949, in his home town of St. Louis, Mo. The two lived and worked in New Orleans and New York City before moving to Spain in 1951, where they lived in Torremolinos before moving on to Tangier, Morocco, and Rome, Italy. Their eldest daughter was born in Tangier in 1953.

Tired of the expat life, the couple came back with their baby daughter to the states, settling near Wytheville, Virg., on a dairy farm. Their time as farmers was recounted, often hilariously, in John Sherry’s memoir “Maggie’s Farm” (Permanent Press). These few years were filled with fixing up two old houses, running a dairy farm and having their second daughter in 1956.

In 1959 the couple sold the farm and moved to Sag Harbor after a short stint in Bergenfield, N.J. Mr. Sherry’s St. Louis friendship with the late Deborah Love (Matthiessen), who had settled in Bridgehampton, brought them to the East End of Long Island and they were instantly smitten with Sag Harbor. The Sherrys rented a house on the corner of Madison and Main from the late Jean and Jake Snow and became full-time residents of Sag Harbor, although it took a few years for the insular community to embrace these new bohemians.

In 1960 the couple had their third

child and in 1963 they bought an old house on Howard Street from their landlords, the Snows. This would be their home for 50 years.

Dorothy Sherry was active in local politics, serving on the village board in 1976-1977. She volunteered with the Friends of the John Jermain Library, the Sag Harbor Historical Society and the then-Whaler’s Festival, among other village groups. She volunteered for the Hampton Day School, where her children were enrolled, and once worked at a thrift shop to benefit the school.

She was a fine athlete, playing tennis at the courts at Mashashimuet Park and golf at the Sag Harbor Golf Club. She was women’s golf champion at the club for several years running.

Mrs. Sherry reminisced about her love for the old whaling village in a 2007 compendium, “Voices of Sag Harbor: A Village Remembered” compiled by the friends of the library. The volume was dedicated to the library’s founder, Mrs. Russell Sage, and Dorothy Sherry “whose hard work and devotion have done much to enrich [the library].”

Mrs. Sherry was a poet and served on the board of directors of and as a workshop instructor for Taproots Workshops and Journal, a Stony Brook-based group helping older individuals write about their life experiences in prose and poetry. “One is never too old to remember, to imagine, to write” was a motto of the group.

Sadly, mobility issues required that Mrs. Sherry move from her beloved Sag Harbor to the home of her eldest daughter on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in 2013. Her middle daughter lives next door and she spent four years there on the “Sherry compound” with her eldest girls, enjoying the peaceful ag r ic u lt u ra l surroundings and reading and writing po- DOROTHY SHERRY etry. Mrs. Sherry was revered by her family and enjoyed getting to know her great-grandchildren, who visited Maryland often with their parents.

In late 2017 Mrs. Sherry moved to Arcadia Assisted Living, a small home with 12 residents in Chester, Md. At Arcadia she made fast friends and gained new experiences, including painting, singing and group exercises.

Three daughters, Anne Sherry of East Hampton, N.Y., and Sylvia and Linda Sherry of Crumpton, Md., survive. Four grandchildren — Travis and Sam Little of Baltimore, Md., and Emma Field and Jonathan Wirth of East Hampton — and five great-grandchildren, also survive. Her husband died in 1999. Her ashes will be buried alongside her husband in Oakland Cemetery in Sag Harbor on Saturday, April 27, at 3 p.m., when a short memorial service will be held at the gravesite. All well-wishers are welcome.

In lieu of flowers, please send contributions to the John Jermain Memorial Library or to the Save Sag Harbor organization.

completely take root. She displayed photographs from the fall of 2018 that showed lines in the grass indicating the sod could still be considered fresh.

She said the district is being cautious.

“Sometimes you put these fields down and sometimes they’re back to being rock hard and grass won’t grow on them,” Ms. Graves said. “We excavated down probably 10 feet and built it back up. We have to protect this new sod. According to the grass expert, it hasn’t finished knitting together yet.

It went very, very dormant over the winter. We finally opened it up on April 8 because it had gotten warm enough and it started to green up.”

The district had received criticism over the last few months from parents who suggested Pierson students were improperly being denied access to outdoor recreation on the field during recess and physical education classes.

Ms. Graves deferred specific questions during Tuesday’s school board meeting to Gregg Stanley of The Bridge golf club, who has volunteered his time to help Pierson care for the field.

Mr. Stanley was not able to attend Tuesday’s meeting and could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.

“It was a huge investment and it’s not going well,” said Sandi Kruel, a parent of a Pierson student and a former school board member.

The Sag Harbor School District’s grass field at Pierson was the result of a heated debate that saw the community reverse course on the synthetic turf field it initially approved in November of 2013. In February of 2017, the community supported a natural grass field at Pierson, along with other improvements, by an overwhelming result of 458 to 73.

The Sag Harbor Express previously reported the final cost of the Pierson grass field project, including components such as concrete steps, a concrete bleacher pad, a reconstructed plaza and irrigation, came in at $633,599. Together with the elementary school field, the district spent more than $1.59 million on the two projects.

At Sag Harbor Elementary School, Ms. Graves said, the new practice field and walking track are “really very beautiful” and almost ready to go.

They need a once-over with a roller to smooth things out, she said, and they’ll be able to celebrate a grand opening, which is planned for Thursday, May 9, with a rain date of May 10.

“It does have some undulations

“Once again, [The Bridge] was wonderful and said they’d be happy to lend us the equipment, send it over and operate it.”

Ms. Graves thanked Mr. Stanley and his colleagues at The Bridge for their help.

Shifting to Mashashimuet Park, Ms. Graves said, “The park board was worried about safety items and we were worried about safety items.”

She explained that in addition to the regular contract — for which the district will pay $203,881 in 20192020, according to the school district’s budget documents — the park is entitled to a $9,300 bonus for each slate of improvements it completes in a given school year.

Among the items that have been completed, she said, are the clearing of brush and tick spraying on the cross country track; the addition of electrical outlets on the field dedicated to field hockey; overseeding of fields prior to the beginning of the sports seasons; and new fencing that is in progress.

Park board president Gregg Schiavoni said fencing quotes for one of the baseball field have been acquired.

Ms. Graves said the Sag Harbor facilities administrator, Paul Wilken, will continue to work with Mr. Schiavoni and the park manager on other improvements.

“Slow and steady wins the race,” she said.

Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League

New Leadership Takes Hold for HCBL Whalers Committee with Little League roots is aiming for major league growth

they have a lot of ideas and we’re looking at all of them.”

Since taking over the Whalers, the committee and other Little League parents have helped fill a 20-yard dumpster with broken-down pieces of farm equipment and scrap metal that were littering parts of Mashashimuet Park.

They renovated a Little League field to make it regulation and fixed a mobile batting cage known as a “turtle” that the HCBL donated several years ago.

They also have plans to replace a rundown batting cage near the varsity and collegiate baseball field, all at no expense to the park. And their dream is to keep on going.

“We have electricians, plumbers, carpenters, construction managers, horticulturists and landscapers, all of which, throughout the history of the HCBL,

about the time that followed a chance meeting the two had in Sag Harbor.

This year’s roster includes players from across America, from St. Mary’s in California to Boston College in Massachusetts. The HCBL tries to build rosters that promote parity across the league so that each team can bring the best possible product to the field. From there, as the Whalers’ new management team pointed out, the community building can begin.

“As we improve our product, more sponsors will feel comfortable getting behind us,” said Dehler, who has been charged with raising funds to support the Whalers and the league in general.

“What we’re all trying to create is something not only for the betterment of our own children, but creating a legacy for generations to come.”

have housing for, but I have everyone else already taken care of,” Cavaniola said.

The league this year is offering a $50 per week, per player, stipend for host families. There are also incentives for families with young children who can participate in free baseball and softball clinics run by the Whalers and their coaches.

Speaking of coaches, the Whalers have a new manager as well in Steve Litras, a former professional infielder who played for the Detroit Tigers in the 1970s. Litras lives near Dehler in Sag Harbor, and they are both originally from Floral Park. Joining together to help lead the Whalers, Dehler said, just seemed natural.

“In a very short period of time, Steve became our head coach,” Dehler said

have donated time and services and materials to different parks,” Dehler said.

“We hope to gain more traction on that in our own community as well.”

“Time, money and effort,” added Campbell, a former collegiate player, himself, who is the official general manager of the Whalers. “Everyone in this community can give one of those three things. And if everyone in the community gives a small piece, it blows up into something huge.”

For Kruel and Gleeson, the biggest challenge was finding housing for a roster of roughly 30 players and coaches every summer. Cavaniola is handling the housing push for the team this season and said has about two-thirds of the team set up with housing for the upcoming summer.

“I have nine players that I still don’t

Late last spring, Brent Greene walked off the Little League fields at Mashashimuet Park with his young sons hearing the unmistakable pop of baseballs hitting mitts at high rates of speed. It was not the sound of a catch between children, though, or even the Pierson Whalers.

This was collegiate ball, and the players were from the big time.

Greene’s children stopped in their tracks and it wasn’t long before Greene became part of a new future for the Sag Harbor Whalers of the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League (HCBL).

“All my kids want to be college athletes,” Greene said at the park on Sunday. “And you have kids from the HCBL who are doing that. They’re athletes, but first and foremost they’re students and they’re going to college.”

The Whalers are the flagship organization of the HCBL, founded in 2008 as a member of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League. The HCBL formed the following year and has grown to include teams from Riverhead, Westhampton, Southampton, Sag Harbor, Shelter Island and the North Fork, along with a team made up of collegiate players from Long Island who, starting this season, will have a home field at Bellport High School.

Henry Bramwell, the league’s longtime president, stepped down after last season and Sandi Kruel, a Sag Harbor native, was tapped as his replacement.

Kruel helped run the Whalers alongside Tom Gleeson since the beginning, so there were big shoes to fill coming into 2019.

The natural move was to enlist members of the community with a stake in local baseball, and Little League baseball, to be specific, since a connection

to local families is critical for a league that needs housing every summer in some of the most expensive resort towns in America.

In the end, Greene joined a committee to run the Whalers that included Kevin Dehler, a wealth management advisor, Beau Campbell, a construction contractor, Tracy Cavaniola, who manages the Watchcase condominium complex, and Frank Venesina, the former owner of Sag Harbor’s beloved pizzeria, Conca D’oro. All members of the management team have children and, most importantly, a healthy love for the game of baseball.

“As parents of young children, coming off the Little League field, we were watching the Whalers and all of us decided it would be a good idea to make sure we can keep this league running and help takeover the Sag Harbor Whalers,” Dehler said. “We feel the committee already has come together to start creating what we hope to be a really energized family event.”

Dehler said the group is working to bring a host of new activities to the sidelines this summer to complement the impressive on-field talent set to arrive in early June. As a trial run, the Whalers were approved to hire a food truck for a game in early June by the board of directors that oversees operations at Mashashimuet Park, which was gifted to the community by Sag Harbor’s great benefactor, Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage, nearly 100 years ago. For the HCBL, it’s a unique situation compared to teams in the league that play on school or municipally owned fields.

“In terms of a partnership, everybody wants to have a working relationship and make the park the best it can be,” said Gregg Schiavoni, the president of the Parks and Recreation Association of Sag Harbor. “In terms of the Whalers,

e continue to have wind and rain. This has been the trend for several months. And we all know about April showers, but thunder and lightning this early in the season is quite unusual. You can still feel spring in the air. More and more boats are occupying their slips. The striped bass season opened on Monday, April 15. Possession is one fish over 28 inches. There are a few school bass around, but it will be a while before the keepers show up. There are bunkers in the bay and alewives in the freshwater tributaries. For a warm up, anglers have been freshwater fishing. Some of the stocked trout have been caught. There are also pickerel, sunfish and yellow perch chasing lures and bait.

dropped Pierson to 3-5 in League VI. But the continued development of Shelter Island junior Lauren Gurney as the team’s starting pitcher has been encouraging. She pitched a complete game with nine strikeouts in the win over Southampton, and was aided by Pierson eighth-grader Meredith Spolarich, who hit her first career varsity home run in the second inning.

The Lady Whalers will play Center Moriches in a make-up game on Tuesday, April 23, at 10 a.m. at Mashashimuet Park.

tennis Cruises Past mattituCk Pierson freshman Luke Louchheim picked up his first career win in the top singles spot for the East Hampton boys tennis team last Thursday, April 11, knocking off Mattituck’s Lucas Kosmnka, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, in a 7-0 win for the Bonackers, whose usual number one, Jonny DeGroot, has been playing doubles to close out the regular season. DeGroot, a senior from Bridgehampton, teamed with Jaedon Glasstein in the top doubles spot and

cruised to an easy victory.

East Hampton head coach Kevin McConville has been shuffling his lineup for seeding purposes as the team approaches postseason tournament play.

Pierson’s Brad Drubych and Alex Wesesley, who normally play doubles, won at third and fourth singles, respectively.

With just one match remaining against Southold/Greenport on April 30, the Bonackers have locked up the League VII title and will soon turn their attention to the postseason tournaments that begin in early May.

The Pierson/Bridgehampton/Shelter Island softball team rattled off three victories in its last five game as its roster of young players has shown improvement since the start of the season. The Lady Whalers beat Port Jefferson, 12-4, on April 3 and after a loss to Babylon on April 6 they rattled off a two straight wins, 13-1 over Southold/Greenport on April 10 and 5-3 over Southampton the next day.

The race is a major fundraiser for Katy’s Courage, which was founded in 2012 as a way to raise funds to support pediatric cancer research and to provide scholarships for local children.

Katy’s Kids @CMEE is a relatively new program, located at the Children’s Museum of East Hampton, that supports children and families dealing with the loss of a loved one.

“We are always looking at how we can expand our services,” said Collins.

“We’ve had some good conversations recently in Riverhead with members of the school district there. We’re looking to expand our services in a Riverside facility along with CMEE when CMEE establishes their new space over there.

We’re learning and growing.”

And speaking of learning and growing, Katy’s Courage has marked the beginning of the East End road racing circuit. It has also served as a stage for some of the area’s best young runners, including Pierson’s McErlean, who also shaved considerable time off his finish in the same event last year.

With rain coming down in buckets, Nina Landi was watching the clock. She was ready by 6 a.m. but by 7:30 she was concerned. The rain was plentiful, but runners for the annual Katy’s Courage 5K were scarce.

“And I thought to myself, ‘Well, what can you do?’”

But as the longtime race organizer knew from eight previous races, the community showed up once again for Katy’s Courage, despite a literal deluge on the appropriately-named Water Street in Sag Harbor.

“You didn’t notice how big the crowd was because they were all condensed in the tent,” said Landi, a kindergarten teacher at Sag Harbor Elementary and a friend of Jim Stewart and Brigid Collins, the parents of Katy Stewart, who died at the age of 12 after suffering from a rare form of pediatric liver cancer. “How great is it that everybody came out in this weather? Everyone is soaking wet, but they’re happy.”

The rain was at its hardest for the start of the race but calmed a bit later as East Hampton High School senior Ryan Fowkes crossed the finish line in 15 minutes and 55 seconds to win his second consecutive Katy’s Courage 5K. Fowkes, who runs on the East Hampton track team and specializes in the mile and 800 meters, bested his time from last year by 54 seconds. The George Washington-bound runner said the conditions, though difficult to navigate because of all the puddles, were actually favorable.

Former Southampton track star Gustavo Morastitla finished second in 16:00.74 and Pierson’s Ben McErlean was third in 17:59.61.

Ava Engstrom, another strong runner out of East Hampton, was the top overall female finisher in 20:37.78, and was followed closely by her teammate, Isabella Tarbet, who finished second among females in 20:58.80. Sofia Mancino (21:01.80) and Penelope Greene (21:15.17), who have both excelled on the Pierson cross country team in past years, finished third and fourth, respectively.

Kiera Martin, 9, an impressive upand-coming young athlete at Sag Harbor Elementary, won the short course

Not much news to report from the ocean fisherman. Codfish continue to be slow and now the Bow Wow‘s (dogfish) have shown up.

This makes fishing difficult. Cold water has slowed haddock fishing in New England, but there are encouraging reports from the boats that are taking the long ride. Some good tides last week were on the clamming flats. I have noticed that there are very few sandworms and blood worms this year.

Tomorrow’s (April 19) full moon is called the Fish Moon and is also referred to as the Egg Moon and also the Sprouting Grass Moon.

However, it is best known as the Full Pink Moon, so named for the arrival of the wild ground phlox, one of the earliest spring flowers.

So, Is it Art? That’s Really Not the Point.

Three actors in search of a relationship

BY MICHELLE TRAURING

J

enna Mate loves small casts. It allows her to work moment to moment with her actors — and easily coordinate field trips to the Museum of Modern Art. Hours before their first readthrough of Yasmina Reza’s critically acclaimed three-hander, “Art” — opening Thursday, April 25, at Guild Hall in East Hampton — the director gathered Edward Kassar, Joe Pallister and Sawyer Spielberg at the New York institution and gave them seemingly simple instructions.

They were to each find paintings that spoke to them, rather, to their respective characters — Serge, who acquires a white-on-white piece for $200,000, leaving Marc flabbergasted by his friend’s purchase, and Yvan, who is caught between the two.

“What better place to do a little dramaturgical work?” Mate recalled with a laugh.

The creative team toured the collection, navigating six floors of art galleries, each hunting for the perfect conversation pieces. And they quickly found them, Spielberg said.

“Naturally, as we were walking through the MoMA, we started to get into little debates about each painting. We were slowly getting into character,” he said. “Then, we found this one painting that was similar to the one referred to in the play, and we just stood there and looked at it for a while. It was a nice first entrance into this world.

“Right after that, we went and did a big read-through,” he continued. “It was like the beginning of this epic journey together.”

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, “Art” also marks the first play ever produced by Our Fabulous Variety Show — the brainchild of Anita Boyer and Kasia Klimiuk — in association with Nimbus Productions, founded by Pallister and Kassar.

“We like to challenge ourselves, and I think producing this play is taking us to a new level,” Klimiuk said of Our Fabulous Variety Show, adding, “The choice was the decision of Joe and Eddie, but it’s a very interesting story that digs into the fabric of relationships and what art even means, which

rom the audience, the two bands jamming on stage at The Stephen Talkhouse last month could have passed as anyone.

But they were far from it. Of the 12 musicians rocking out to “Moon Dance” and “Dead Flowers,” half were public servants — yanked completely out of context and loving every second.

Trading business casual for casualcasual, Anthony Liberatore normally sits on a citizens advisory committee, but also rips on guitar, as does Job Potter, former chairman of the East Hampton Planning Board and a former member of the East Hampton Town Board.

And Town Justices Andrea H. Schiavoni and Steven Tekulsky are musicians in their own right, all led by the Southampton and East Hampton Town supervisors themselves, Jay Schneiderman and Peter Van Scoyoc — who finally shared a stage, for the very first time.

“It was awesome. It was so much fun,” Schneiderman said with a laugh. “Peter and I had never performed together. He’s very talented; I was impressed. I don’t know if people were expecting that from us.

“I think they’re suspecting I’m not very good,” he added, “and then when they see I can hold my own, I think it may surprise people that I play at a professional level.”

In preparation for the “Ladles of Love” benefit concert at the Amagansett fixture — a fundraiser for the East Hampton and Amagansett food pantries — Schneiderman quickly pulled together his band, Jay Schneiderman & Friends, while Van Scoyoc riffed on the theme with his group, Supe du Jour, managing to squeeze in just one stripped-down rehearsal with his compatriot in Southampton.

“The best playing, I think, that Jay and I did was at his house in a rehearsal,” Van Scoyoc said. “We did one rehearsal together on the tunes and then we went off on a jam: The Temptations, ‘Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.’ Just bass player, drums and guitar, and that was fun. I do think the word’s

out in the community that I play, but I don’t know how widely known it is.”

While both supervisors grew up on the rock and roll of the 1960s and ’70s, a young Van Scoyoc, whose wife was a longtime music educator at East Hampton High School, also found himself immersed in folk and classical music, thanks to his parents. He fell in love with the sounds and stories of Pete Seeger, Guthrie Woody and Joan Baez, and the movements of Bach, Mozart, Stravinsky and Brahms.

He began on piano in elementary school and picked up his first guitar at age 11 — but his friend wanted it back after two weeks. By then, he had taught himself “Proud Mary,” and began to master a little chord book.

“I’ve always found music as an emotional outlet. I think in adolescence, you need an outlet,” Van Scoyoc said.

“I always felt moved by music, and it really is a language, a universal language. That was my outlet. I did play sports, and that’s great for blowing off steam.”

For Schneiderman, drums did the job of sports, though he started on piano, as well, before making the shift to percussion.

“When I played piano, my parents used to beg me to practice. And when

I switched to drums, they used to beg me not to practice. Drums are a lot louder,” he said. “It was really an important part of growing up. It not only was creative and physical, in terms of exercise, but I think it also helped work out those adolescent frustra-

tions, banging on the drums. I think it was very therapeutic.”

His musical education brought him to Central America, Africa and Southeast Asia, even Cuba, where he studied with a renowned conga player, he said. Only recently has he dusted off the skins and found his way back to the drum set, he said, as Southampton Town supervisor — after serving two terms as East Hampton Town supervisor and six terms as Suffolk County legislator.

“And I drag my drums with me —

The Dessert of the Season

E

ggs, baskets, bunnies, carrots: It was through word association that I settled on carrot cake for Easter dessert this year. It isn’t fancy, but when made properly it’s a satisfying and wholesome way to end any spring meal.

I’ve worked hard to win over the carrot cake skeptics in my house.

While I have always loved the natural sweetness of carrots, one of my children used to have trouble getting beyond the fact that they are vegetables. At the age of 20, she is finally acknowledging that not all vegetables are bad. The other child, who is well over 21, still refuses to eat anything containing raisins. So that polarizing ingredient has been banished from my recipe.

Traditional carrot cake, made with vegetable oil, has an unpleasantly spongy texture and lacks rich flavor, in my opinion. Butter instead of oil makes a better-tasting cake. Although it adds another step to the process, creaming together butter and sugar aerates the batter and results in a lighter, fluffier crumb. Toasting the nuts adds subtle but essential aroma and richness.

As for the carrots themselves, buy the sweetest specimens. Look for carrots with their greens still on, and be sure those greens are crisp and brightly colored, indicating freshness. The carrots themselves should be deep orange, not yellow, from top LAUREN CHATTMAN is a food writer, cookbook author and fan of small town life.

Carrot Cake With cream cheese ice cream Serves 8 2 large eggs ¼ cup milk 1 1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 2 cups peeled and grated carrots (about 4 medium) ½ cup toasted and chopped pecans

to bottom, with just a little green at the tops. Trim away those green ends, which have a bitter flavor, before using. The carrots’ exteriors should be smooth and firm. Wrinkles and rootlets indicate age. Sugars reside in the outer layers, so the smaller the cores the sweeter the carrots. Look for carrots with narrow tops, which indicate narrower cores.

When I grate carrots manually, using a box grater, I often injure my fingertips and knuckles. So even if I only need a small amount, I’ll use a food processor fitted with a grating disc. If you don’t have a food processor, give the job to an unsuspecting family member who’s never done it before.

Traditionally, carrot cake is topped with cream cheese frosting. For Easter, I wanted something a little more exciting, so I went into my basement, unearthed my ice cream machine (I own an inexpensive Cuisinart model with an insert that has to be frozen overnight before using) and made some easy cream cheese ice cream instead. Ice cream made with cream cheese has a pleasantly tangy flavor.

The cream cheese thickens the ice cream base, giving the finished product a creamy texture without the hassle of making an egg custard. A small scoop on top of each slice of carrot cake finishes my holiday dessert in a festive way.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat the inside of an 8-inch-by-4-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk together eggs and milk in a glass measuring cup. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar on medium-high until fluffy. With mixer on medium-low, add one third of the flour mixture; add one half of the egg mixture; add another third of the flour mixture; add remaining egg mixture and then remaining flour mixture.

Artists examine the meaning of roots continued from page B1 feels close to his heritage and his upbringing.

“I’ve reached an age where I think back to people I’ve known in my childhood, people I grew up with, I reassess things that happened with a mature mind, and I realize that my thoughts and my evaluations have changed through the years,” he mused. “Roots are important. I think that’s part of what our country is built on.”

Roots are also the foundation beneath the Organización Latino-Americana of Eastern Long Island (OLA) benefit art show — a loose theme to guide the hundreds of artists who submitted their work last month, whittled down by co-curators Amy Worth, who owns The South Street Gallery in Greenport, and deCordova.

“I have high hopes for this show. I’m pleased with who we’re putting up,” deCordova said. “We’re putting up 65 paintings. That’s going to take some doing. Amy Worth and I are hanging them, and you have to hang them in a way that’s fetching so that they sell

they’re here in Southampton. I’ve never stopped. The beat goes on,” he said. “I’ve been serious about music my whole life, and I still don’t think I can live without it. In this crazy political life I find myself in, it helps to sit down once in a while on the drums. It relieves some of the stress, just like it did when I was an adolescent. It’s definitely a release of tension. I love it.”

Schneiderman is far from the first politician with a musical side. In fact, the tradition is longstanding. Former president Bill Clinton can play a mean sax. Former Secretary of State John Kerry has garage-rock roots as a bassist. Even President Donald Trump’s attorney, Jay Sekulow, plays in a band.

“Music is another dimension of expressing oneself,” Van Scoyoc said. “If

and raise money for OLA.” This benefit art show, opening April 26 at the Southampton Cultural Center, is the second of its kind — the first held more than 15 years ago, when deCordova served on the inaugural board of directors for the nonprofit agency, which promotes social, economic, cultural and educational development within the East End’s Latino and Hispanic communities.

“The first show went well,” he said.

“And this art show, the response was amazing. We had 200 submissions and it was very hard to choose amongst them, because there were some really good artists there. That was a hell of a job, let me tell you.”

From breakout talent to established fixtures, the catalogue of 65 artists spans the East End and crosses international waters, resulting in a vast mix of medium, geography and interpretation, according to Worth.

“This show has made me focus more on what we’re doing as a country and who we are as a country, who we were and what we’ve become,” the curator said. “That really is what this all made

and it’s making me think about more and more.”

Husband and wife Eric Fischl and April Gornik addressed the theme from opposite ends — he with an emotionally charged portrait of a detained child, and she with a patch of dense woods, sunbeams poking through the thick canopy and onto the forest floor.

“Roots means so many things to so many people, yet it’s this trope that keeps coming back,” explained Minerva Perez, executive director of OLA of Eastern Long Island. “What represents roots? What about the people who tear their roots to come to this country because they don’t have another option?

Where are their roots now? Do they grow new ones here, and what about the fractured ones there?

“It’s neat to view the work through that lens — what could this have meant to the artist,” she continued. “So, you’re taking the art in on its own and also putting this lens on it and it adds another level of conversation.”

Teresa Lawler’s roots transported her to the Montauk ocean, while Frank Sofo explored his roots in the

streets of Brooklyn. Janet Culbertson’s roots are tangled and ethereal, while Mino Cinélu! — who is best known as a jazz percussionist — took an unconventional look at his own origins.

“He did a self-portrait,” deCordova said. “I saw it and I started laughing because he pictures himself as a lion.

And in a way, he is. When you put a show together, and it’s all hung, you realize it has a personality and a life, many times unexpected. You get a feeling for it, and I can’t wait to see what it says to me.”

For Perez, the show is a way back to humanity, one that is often lost in suffering, pain and misunderstanding — one that is impossible to articulate through words.

But it can be communicated through art, she said.

“Art allows us a way back into feeling things, to seeing them, to experiencing them fully,” she said. “It makes you ask, ‘Why are we here? What are we doing here? What matters? We’re on this earth for what, to displace people? To dehumanize people? Of course not!’

“We’re on this earth to understand

each other better, to love each other better, and through art is the only way that you get there,” she said. “You don’t get there through politics, you don’t get there through arguing, you don’t get there through debating. You don’t.

You get there through really recognizing each other’s humanity, and art is the only thing that does that.”

“Roots,” a group art show supporting OLA of Eastern Long Island, will open on Friday, April 26, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Southampton Cultural Center, located at 25 Pond Lane in Southampton.

The show will remain on view through May 5. Half of all sale proceeds will benefit OLA. For more information, visit olaofeasternlongisland.org.

I’m having a bad day, I can go pick up the guitar. If I’m having a good day, I’ll go pick up the guitar. I’ll celebrate, I’ll sing the blues. I find it revitalizes me, to pick me up when I’m feeling down. It can go through a whole broad range of emotions and I’ve always enjoyed that.

“So the connection between music and government may be related, in some ways, to communication,” he continued. “If you look at the number of doctors and scientists who play music, as well, you’ll find there’s a very high correlation. I think it helps you develop a broader, more balanced person, and music education does seem to have an impact on one’s ability to understand abstract concepts in science and mathematics.”

As a drummer, Schneiderman said he finds music to be extremely mathematical and analytical. He’s a timekeeper, breaking the measure into segments with precision, tone, personality and style.

“Like the drums, I try to approach my job with an artistic eye,” he said.

“There are a lot of design elements to what I do — we’re creating parks and buildings and just building of community, places where people interact.

I think having a creative mind is a good skill for the job of supervisor.”

With creativity also comes a certain level of improvisation, Van Scoyoc noted, and in government, it’s required.

“Having that creativity and flexibility in thinking is certainly helpful in government, and in music,” Van Scoyoc said. “I think music is a really important aspect of being human and the more live music that we can share with each other, the better. There’s no substitute for it. And those of us who play music are probably gonna play it our whole lives.”

Hand painted action in “Loving Vincent”

n 2017, “Loving Vincent” was the world’s first entirely painted feature film, achieved with over 65,000 hand-painted oils by 125 artists around the world.

And on Friday, April 19, it will tell the story of Vincent van Gogh’s life and controversial death through his paintings, and the characters that inhabit them, at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill. The film considers what might have happened if van Gogh, portrayed by Robert Gulaczyk, hadn’t committed suicide — but was, in fact, murdered.

“I’m pleased to show this stunning thriller that will leave the audience feeling as if a Van Gogh painting has come to life to tell a provocative story about the artist’s death,” Corinne Erni, senior curator of ArtsReach and Special Projects, said in a press release.

“Loving Vincent” was first shot as a live action film, its cast including Saoirse Ronan, Douglas Booth, and Jerome Flynn. Then, artists over-painted each frame in oils, resulting in an interaction between the actors, who inhabited the artist’s famous portraits, and the animators, who gave the characters added dimension through paint.

To capture changing backgrounds, facial expressions and movement, each canvas was re-painted an average of 76 times.

The screening will begin at 6 p.m. Tickets are $15 and $5 for members and students. For more information, call (631) 283-2118 or parrishart. org.

It’s for families, couples, young and old, Latinos and non-Latinos, who are encouraged to join in on “Pachanga 2019: Fuerza y Alma,” a music and dance celebration on Friday, April 19, at 6:30 p.m. at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.

Musicians from the East End and beyond will heat up the theater, dedicating the first half of the night to new music and new talent, and closing with local favorites Mambo Loco for salsa lovers everywhere.

“This year has been filled with challenging advocacy work,” Perez said. “We feel that this high-energy event allows people the opportunity to reconnect with neighbors and share a dance and a laugh before the breakneck pace of the summer season is upon us.”

Advance tickets are $20, $25 at the door, and $15 for students and guests under age 25.

or many years, Josh Dayton channeled his inner abstract expressionist, influenced by the classic pioneers in their time. This approach produced thickly painted, improvised canvases, locking him into the compositions with constant revision and layers upon layers of pigment.

With his newest show, on view Saturday and Sunday at Ashawagh Hall in Springs, he is breaking that mold.

“In the new works, I have been gluing cut-up paper to the canvas instead of direct painting,” Dayton explained. “This frees one to add or subtract as many times as necessary to achieve a spontaneous end without overpainting, to create more open compositions through use of simpler forms.”

A reception for the show, curated by Arlene Bujese, will be held on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. For more information, call (631) 267-6554 or visit ashawagh-hall.org.

is something I am thinking about every single day as an artist, director and educator.”

With her boyfriend, Joe Pallister, working just a few feet away, Boyer settled onto their couch for her initial reading six months ago. A few pages in, she was on edge, either snorting with laughter or on the verge of tears, she said.

“I have had some confusing and unresolved experiences this past year and, I swear to you, that reading this play was worth its weight in therapy sessions,” Boyer said. “It’s so well defined what I experienced, but had not been able to articulate.

“My favorite line of the play, which I memorized immediately because it struck me to my core: ‘If I’m who I am because I am who I am, and if you’re who you are because you’re who you are then I’m who I am and you’re who you are. If, on the other hand I’m who I am because you’re who you are and if you’re who you are because I’m who I am, then I’m not who I am and you’re not who you are,’” she said. “I finished the rest of play and I just looked at Joe with tears in my eyes and I said, ‘Yep, this is the show.’”

Staged in the round, the experience for audience and cast alike is nothing short of intensely and immediately intimate, Spielberg explained, as the play should be — considering “Art” is not actually about art at all.

“To me, it’s less about the painting and it’s more about these three friends who are going through a rough spell, and they’re using this painting as a way to subconsciously expose all of their frustrations with each other,” he said.

“There’s an energy and a vitality that’s present at all times with them,” Mate said of the three men in the cast.

“Watching them, and working with this play, has really made me think about groups of three. When you put three kids together on a play date or on the playground, you’re always going to have two against one, and not always in a bad way.

“But at all moments in this play, it’s always two ganging up on one. We’re playing a lot with those dynamics, that triangle idea, and how the friendship keeps shifting as each scene goes on — and who’s got the lowest status in each moment, and who’s got the highest status.”

Staging “Art” not only on the East End — where the juxtaposition between summer wealth and the yearround population is at an all-time high — but also amid art-packed galler-

ies adds another level of contemplation and borderline poignancy, Mate noted.

“I also think it resonates with anybody, anywhere, beyond the East End,” she said. “We do still live in a world where what you own, or what you wear, or what you drive does still give you status.”

Reflecting on his own relationships, Spielberg has tapped into a rarely seen, quirky side of his personality to embody Yvan — a man who is in “a constant state of disappointment, but still manages to find hopefulness in the chaos,” he said.

“He’s extremely neurotic and he’s very wound up tight and he talks a lot.

And I don’t feel I’m that way,” Spielberg said. “But there’s a physical goofy side to Yvan that I’m having a great time tapping into. I definitely have a goofy side to myself that only comes out with close, close, close friends, or it came out a lot more when I was younger.”

In his desperation to keep their friendship alive, Yvan begins to discover his voice and delivers a dizzying, three-page monologue halfway through the play, which has occupied much of Spielberg’s rehearsal time, he said.

“It’s funny and it’s wild and some of it doesn’t make any sense and I’m curious to see if the audience understands what I’m talking about,” he said.

When the final curtain does fall on May 5, Boyer and Klimiuk will dive back into programming for Our Fabulous Variety Show, which has defied pigeonholing over the past nine years.

The co-founders initially rooted their theater company in arts education, but have kept it intentionally fluid and open to all possible endeavors, they said.

“We hope to do more of this. We have some exciting projects and opportunities on the horizon,” Klimiuk said. “Whatever we are doing, it always feels like it’s the right thing happening at the right time. And everything happens for a reason — at least I like to think so. I don’t like boxes or labels, and I think it’s important that we can offer or provide a space for anything and everything performance related.

And I’m excited for what the future holds after we present this play.”

Our Fabulous Variety Show and Nimbus Productions will present “Art,” a play by Yasmina Reza, on Thursday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the John Drew Theater of Guild Hall, located at 158 Main Street in East Hampton. Additional performances will be held Thursday through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m., through May 5. Tickets are $28. For more information, visit ourfabulousvarietyshow.org.

ecycling. It’s a practice that has been drilled into our everyday lives.

Awareness of plastic waste is on the rise, leading to bans on single-use plastic straws and bags, campaigns for reducing waste and opting for reusables, and the organization of beach cleanups to tackle the problem. While separating paper from plastic from aluminum at the transfer station is important, equally valuable is the recycling of e-waste. As technology evolves, gadgets and devices quickly become obsolete to make way for what’s new and hot now. When these items fall by the wayside and are thrown into landfills, the toxic chemicals in electronics can be released into the air and seep into groundwater.

Combatting this as part of its annual Earth Day initiative, GeekHampton will host its community e-waste recycling event beginning this Friday.

Heavy metals like lead, barium, mercury and lithium in electronics can leach into groundwater when improperly disposed, polluting the water and also negatively impacting soil. Burning wires to get to copper can release hydrocarbons into the air. Water quality and agriculture are essential to the East End way of life, making the proper disposal of such items essential to our health and the environment. New York, like half of the United States, has ewaste recycling laws, including a ban on electronics in landfills to help protect the environment. Recycling, however, is not the only way to mitigate the concerns of pollution from electronics.

“It’s important to remember electronics when recycling because they have such an impact on our environment, but also because they may have additional life left in them, whether it’s by passing on an old device to someone who can use it or using the parts in a different machine,” explains GeekHampton’s Sheryl Heller. “Much of the materials used in creating electronic devices can be extracted and reused to make other products.

Friday through Monday in a partnership with KAD Electronics Recycling (KAD), which ensures data security and responsible disassembly. Laptop and desktop computers, monitors, printers, copiers, mobile and landline phones, cables and wires, networking equipment, and power supplies are all accepted. Before bringing these items in, people should backup information on any device they do not want to lose as all materials are shredded and destroyed. Last year, GeekHampton recycled 6,754 pounds of electronics. This year, the East End’s only Apple premium service provider is asking for $10 donations to help offset the cost of recycling.

On Friday and Saturday, weather permitting, Joe and Liza’s ice cream will be handing out samples of new spring flavors.

The e-waste recycling event takes place from Friday, April 19 through Earth Day, which is Monday, April 22. The store is closed Sunday.

Bedell Cellars Hits the Market

edell Cellars is home to 75 acres of planted vines. They bear 10 varieties of sustainable grapes, grown in a unique maritime terroir, which has defined the Cutchogue vineyard’s signature style for the past 35 years.

But following the death of owner Michael Lynne on March 24, it is time for his family to leave — and sell — the nest.

Last week, Corcoran listed the North Fork icon for $17.9 million, represented by licensed associate real estate broker Gary DePersia. The sale will include 95 acres across three separate locations — including residential property — and ownership of the Bedell and Corey Creek brands and operations.

“It’s one of the premier wineries in the state of New York with amazing infrastructure — a true vertical operation that doesn’t come on the market very often,” DePersia said. “It feels like you were in Napa Valley.

There are wine tastings, events and over 25 weddings a year held there.”

The main property, located at 36225 Route 25, includes vineyards, a tasting room, the production facility and equipment barn, as well as 4 undeveloped residential acres.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 1,800-square-foot cottage sitting on 2.6 acres is a Lynne family residence, available fully furnished with interior design by Vincent Wolf and landscaping by Ed Hollander.

On one of the separate locations, known as Corey Creek, another tasting room is available, as well as additional vines, also found on the 23-acre Wells Road property.

And as for the future buyer, DePersia imagines it will be “someone who loves the wine business, understands its potential, and has the wherewithal to make it happen.”

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity,” he said. “The late owner Michael Lynne had gone to great lengths and expense to make Bedell Cellars one of the foremost wineries of its kind in the Northeast. We have had people from as far away as France and California come to visit it and assess its potential for them. I urge anyone who has ever thought about having a winery to contact me for more information and for potential tour.”

source end up in a landfill is a major lost opportunity.”

Devices can also be passed down to grandchildren as an electronic hand-medown, or donated to organizations that provide devices to soldiers or families in need. Creative people can even repurpose their old machines into fish tanks and terrariums. During GeekHampton’s e-waste recycling event, customers can also tradein devices for a credit towards a new product. A computer not older than 2012 and in good working condition can be traded in toward something new and current.

“We try to build computers from multiple used computers in order to donate to worthy causes,” co-owner Mike Avery says, adding another use for outdated electronics. “We donate many computers each year to Hayground School and this year we also donated to Friends of Barrio La Planta Inc. in Nicaragua. The Barrio Planta Project (BPP) provides free supplementary schooling to the children of Latin America.”
