A Growing Problem for Teens

BY KATHRYN G. MENU

SUFFOLK COUNTY HAD 403 OPIOID related deaths in 2018, making it the county with the highest incidence of deaths related to prescription and nonprescription overdoses in New York State. An equally frightening statistic for East Hampton Town Police Sgt. Ken Alversa is the reported 794 people brought back to life with Narcan, a brand name for the drug naloxone, which is used by police and emergency service providers — and today the public at large — to prevent death in the case of an opioid overdose.

“That would have been 794 more fu-

Forum explores rising abuse of vaping and liquid THC nerals for husbands, for wives, for sons, daughters, aunts and uncles,” said Sgt. Alversa during the Fourth Annual Substance Abuse Forum at LTV Studios in Wainscott on March 28. “Although we have made leaps and bounds getting those Narcan kits out into the hands of the public — right now there are over 10,000 kits in civilian hands which is why we lead the state in how many people saved — it is scary we have had

to save that many people.”

These statistics, or the fact that substance abuse rarely begins for children and teens with opioids but rather with underage alcohol use and other drugs like marijuana, are not lost on Sgt. Alversa or other members of the Adolescent Mental Health and Substance Abuse Task Force. That group formed last year to include East Hampton Village and Town officials, town police, nonprofits including The Retreat, the YMCA, Project MOST and Phoenix House and local school districts including Sag Harbor and East Hampton,

CLEAN UP BEETLEINFESTED PINE TREES

A FIERY DISCUSSION between Sag Harbor School Board members on Monday yielded a conclusion on just how much the district should increase its tax levy in next year’s budget — but questions remain over how the district will close a gap between revenue and expenses in the proposed $43.4 million spending plan.

That figure represents a 3.64-percent increase in year-over-year spending for 2019-2020, or a jump of about $1.52 million over the current year’s $41.88 million budget. Superintendent Katy Graves called it “a solid, conservative number” while acknowledging there is more work to do.

“There will be a gap between the tax levy increase and the overall budget for the district that we will need to make up,” she said Wednesday. “The

administrative team is going to look proactively” at places to trim the budget “because the board asked us to do that.”

“I think the recommendation for the board will be to look to our reserves because that is what they are there for,” Ms. Graves said. “In other words, we’ll prepare for both — programming, but also for where in the reserves we can make up the budget difference.”

When it came time to decide how much to increase the tax levy — the amount collected from taxpayers to pay for the budget — the school board weighed options ranging from 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent. It settled on 3 percent in a split vote of 4-3. Board president Diana Kolhoff, vice president Jordana Sobey, and members Susan Schaefer and Brian DeSesa supported

Late that year, the town declared a state of emergency when it discovered the beetle had migrated north and had begun infesting

A Place To Learn, Again Plan to revamp old schoolhouse as museum

BY CHRISTINE SAMPSON

THE OLD NORTH HAVEN Village schoolhouse is easy to overlook. The wood-shingled structure is showing signs of age and weathering and it blends into its surroundings.

The front facade with its dark-red door doesn’t even face Ferry Road, so you’ve probably passed it with-

out even realizing it’s there. A flagpole on the lot gives the one-room schoolhouse, which dates back to 1847, its best shot at being noticed by passers-by.

But it’s far from forgotten by villagers, and there’s a plan to educate children in the old schoolhouse

SAG HARBOR VILLAGE’S latest 20192020 budget figure, if adopted by the Board of Trustees, would rise above the state-mandated cap on tax levy increases for the first time since New York State enacted the tax cap legislation in 2012.

During a public hearing Friday, held specifically to address the subject of the tax cap, village officials unveiled their latest budget proposal: an $11.45 million spending plan that has crept up again since the last time it was presented. Previous drafts of the budget came in at $11.26 million in February and $11.27 million in early March.

Under the $11.45 million budget proposal, the tax levy increase is projected at 8.51 percent. According to vil-

lage treasurer Rhonda Meserole, that’s about 1.06 percent higher than the village’s allowed levy increase of 7.45 percent. She said the levy increase is different from the “2 percent tax cap” language that most people are used to hearing because of factors such as real estate development within village borders that equates to rising assessments, which boost the village’s potential tax levy increase.

Year over year, the $11.45-million budget is a proposed spending increase of 5.03 percent.

“We always end up raising them somewhere between 1 and 1.5 percent,” village trustee Ken O’Donnell said. “They’ve all been pretty close to austerity budgets. There’s not much

Windows Are Priority For the Review Board

Work To Start On Center

Decisions on two applications are postponed

BY CHRISTINE SAMPSON

Historic windows were a clear priority of the Sag Harbor Board of Historic Preservation and Architectural Review on Thursday, with the board choosing to delay action on two new applications so two of its window experts could be present for the discussion.

Acknowledging that historic consultant Zach Studenroth and board member John “Chris” Connor would have a lot to say about it, the review board tabled a discussion of new windows for 39 Howard Street so they could be present for the hearing.

Architect Paul Regan, representing Julane Properties LLC and its owner, Juliana Terian, said the new windows “are getting a lot better” than a previous, contemporary window design the board approved in January of 2018.

“We spent a lot of time on this project,” interim board chairman Dean Gomolka said. “I think the neighbors had a lot to say. It was very contentious. I think we’re going to need a little bit of time.”

The review board also tabled another window application, that of Suzanne McNear at 7 Clinton Street. Ms. McNear sought permission to replace a handful of kitchen windows to be able to keep drafts out of the house.

“This is a big issue for us,” Mr. Gomolka said. “We’ll have to have a site meeting with our consultant to take a look at the windows.”

Board alternate Judith Long added, “They may be historic, and you shouldn’t mess with them.”

Ms. McNear urged the board to reconsider.

“The house is so cold,” she said, “and they’re really quite ugly.”

The review board approved changes to a house at 311 Division Street, which originally called for updated windows as well as roofing, siding and trim. Architect Anne Sherry, representing Sag Harbor Main Corp., met with Mr. Studenroth at the house to analyze the windows.

“The front windows are all remaining and will be restored,” Ms. Sherry told the board on Thursday. Others in the back, which were not in as good condition, will be changed out for newer ones. Additionally, she said, siding will be “patched and repaired in

rotted areas. [The owner’s] desire was to replace it all, but he doesn’t object to the idea of repairing.”

“It was a good compromise, plus the windows got saved, which was huge,” Ms. Sherry said.

In other review board news, Debbie Rudoy, who rents the retail space at 127 Main Street, earned approval for a new sign to be mounted on the lawn in front of the store, previously home to Life’style. The new sign indicates the store will now be called “Goldie.”

The wooden sign is to be round, 32 inches in diameter, and painted red with a white star in the middle.

A new five-bedroom, six-bathroom house with a finished basement was approved for 38 Meadowlark Lane, but only after the review board asked architect Kathryn Fee to jump through a hoop. She presented certain details on a large poster, which the board wished to put in its record, but could not do so because of the poster’s size and composition. Ms. Fee left the meeting and returned about an hour later with smaller-sized plans.

“It looks fantastic. Thank you very much,” Mr. Gomolka said.

Architect Anthony Vermandois offered an update on a house he has been hired to redesign, 24 Rysam Street.

Previously, he received less-thanfavorable feedback on 24 Rysam Street, with board member David Berridge comparing the design to a sausage on a bun. Mr. Vermandois updated the plans to keep the front 24 feet of the house the same, reduce the number of shed dormers overall and restrict the remaining ones to only appear on the least-visible side elevation of the house.

“It seems like you pretty much responded to our comments,” board chairman Dean Gomolka said.

The review board tabled the decision to its April 11 meeting so that Mr. Studenroth could take a look at the updates.

The board scheduled a public hearing for Sandra Farkas’s house at 14 John Street, a non-historic house in the historic district, where demolition and a new house are proposed.

The house is larger than 3,000 square feet, which triggered the need for a mandatory hearing before the review board. It is set for April 25.

Former Stella Maris to begin its makeover

salaries for all three would be approximately $62,000 plus benefits.

“We did tweak some numbers based on some information … and some of the discussion that took place,” superintendent Robert Hauser said. “Obviously we are all about our students.

We strive to give them the most opportunities we can.”

The “director of curriculum” position is still in the budget, Mr. Hauser said this week.

“However, we’re still contemplating the model — what it’s really going to look like,” he said. “There’s a strong desire on the part of the Board of Education to keep the number of administrators the same, which is five. … We’re working with a curriculum consultant, so that may be part of an option. The continuity there is important.”

Work on the early childhood educational space called the Sag Harbor Learning Center — formerly Stella Maris — will begin “immediately,” Sag Harbor School District officials said this week, after construction contracts were okayed on Monday.

The Sag Harbor School Board unanimously approved a general contractor, an electrician and a heating, ventilation and air conditioning company during its meeting on Monday. The three contracts totaled $3,961,497.

“The bids were very competitive,” superintendent Katy Graves said Wednesday. “We had a number of bids for each of the items and they were very close, which is really positive.

You don’t want an outlier — you don’t want them very far apart. They were within thousands of dollars of each other. It makes for a really good, competitive bidding process.”

The sum came in below projected totals, Ms. Graves said. The originally approved bond referendum of $10.23 million from May of 2016, which also covered the purchase of the property, included $5.5 million for renovations.

“It’s a really positive sign that the project will be on budget,” Ms. Graves said.

Sag Harbor has already spent more than $999,000 from surplus funds in its general fund to remove asbestos, complete some roofing repairs and replace flooring. There is also additional funding in the proposed 2019-2020 budget for additional supplies and equipment for the Sag Harbor Learning Center.

The contracts were awarded in a walk-on resolution toward the end of the meeting. Ms. Graves said the approval allows the construction to begin “immediately.”

Bridgehampton School

Tech Teacher Added to Staffing Fourteen percent spending increase falls within tax levy cap

BY CHRISTINE SAMPSON

Bridgehampton School District officials have heeded the suggestions of parents and added the salary for another new teacher to its proposed 2019-2020 budget plan. The salary of another administrator, the “director of curriculum,” is still included, but a school official this week said the hiring of that person may not actually take place.

During a school board meeting last Wednesday, March 27, officials also said the district’s existing roster of administrators does not represent an increase over what it had prior to the retirement of Dr. Lois Favre, the previous superintendent and principal.

Bridgehampton’s updated budget plan, for $18.6 million, has been further trimmed from the $18.73 figure presented earlier in March during a community forum. In January, the

district proposed $19.48 million for next year, and has since slashed more than $840,000 from that version. The updated figure presented on March 27 represents a 14.36 percent increase in year-over-year spending, with a projected 10.83 percent tax-levy increase.

That increase falls within the statemandated cap on tax-levy increases but is different from the “2 percent tax cap” language that people are used to hearing. That’s because of factors such as real estate development within district borders and exclusions for capital debt in the tax levy calculations. Nearly half of the projected budget-to-budget increase is for the capital debt on the $29.4 million construction project the district has undertaken.

Bridgehampton is now budgeting for a new technology teacher in addition to the math and science teachers it had already proposed hiring. The

2,100 Pounds of Pills & Counting

Two Felony Driving While Intoxicated Charges Levied in East Hampton

I

n partnership with the Group for the East End and seven local police departments, the East End Medication Disposal Program collected 2,102 pounds of substances in 2018, for a total of 8,000 pounds collected since the program began in October of 2013. With support from Suffolk County’s Drinking Water Protection Program, the program encourages residents to dispose of unused medications safely and anonymously in a Medication Drop Box permanently located at participating police stations in an effort to keep these potential pollutants out of our drinking water.

In Sag Harbor, a total of 90 pounds of medication were collected at the Sag Harbor Village Police Department headquarters.

A separate program by the Riverhead Community Coalition for Safe and Drug-Free Youth partnered with Riverhead Police Department to collect 1,440 pounds in 2018.

The coalition has collected 5,884 pounds of medication since installing the Medication Drop Box in Au-

gust 2014.

“The volume of medications collected in the 2018 program demonstrate both the significance of pharmaceutical products as a potential source of groundwater pollution, and the growing public interest in keeping these products out of the waste stream for public safety and environmental reasons,” said Group for the East End president Bob DeLuca. “We are very proud of all our local community members who have

taken the time to properly dispose of their unused or expired pharmaceuticals, to help protect our environment and public safety, and we look forward to continuing growth in this program in the years ahead.”

The East End Medication Disposal Program is anonymous. Once medication is disposed of, police department officials transport it to the Covanta Incinerator in East Northport, which offers disposal free of charge.

SCWA Goes to Tiered Rates for Water

T

o encourage the public to preserve Long Island’s greatest natural resource, the sole source aquifer that provides 100 percent of the island’s drinking water, the Suffolk County Water Authority Board last week voted to create the first tiered-rate structure in SCWA history.

The creation of the new rate system — variations of which are used throughout the country and on Long Island — is designed to encourage residents to be judicious with water resources. Excessive water impacts water quality and requires construction of costly in-

frastructure.

The action by the SCWA Board is in accordance with an initiative undertaken by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which has established a goal for suppliers of reducing peak season water use by 15 percent in order to ensure the sustainability of water resources. The new rate structure took effect on April 1. On that date, the base drinking water charge for all customers increased from $1.95 per thousand gallons to $2.028 per thousand gallons.

The new tiered rate will be $2.34 per thousand gallons for all con-

sumption over 78,540 gallons per quarter. In other words, customers will only pay the tiered rate on water above and beyond 78,540 gallons per quarter, and the standard rate up until that point.

According to a press release issued by the water authority, the average residential SCWA customer would have to more than double his or her annual use to reach the new tiered rate, based on historical customer usage figures.

Customers are encouraged to contact SCWA’s Customer Service staff at (631) 698-9500 with any questions about the new rate system.

The Montauk Library was one of six Long Island libraries to win the 2019 Technology and Innovation grants by the LILRC. The LILRC awards grants to Long Island libraries with the primary goal of promoting library resource sharing throughout the Long Island region.

The library’s original oral history collection produced on cassette and

videotapes has been duplicated onto CDs and DVDs, which have begun to degrade. With the LILRC grant, the library will begin the process of converting the recordings into Mp3 and Mp4 files, which will enable the original recordings to fit the blueprint of future technologies.

Mostly recorded by the Montauk Library from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, the collection also includes Montauk Historical Society oral histories recorded in the 1970s, including taped sessions of the early meetings of the Montauk Historical Society from the 1960s.

East Hampton Town Police arrested two men last weekend on charges of felony driving while intoxicated.

On Saturday, March 30, police said Juan P. Farez, 34, was driving a 2017 Cadillac on Fort Pond Boulevard in Springs around 3:52 a.m. allegedly speeding 80 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone and failing to stop at a stop sign at Springs Fireplace Road before police pulled his vehicle to the side of the road near Gardiner Avenue. Police said Mr. Farez appeared intoxicated and failed standard field sobriety tests. The driving while intoxicated charge was raised to a felony due to a prior driving while intoxicated conviction. Mr. Farez was held for arraignment the following morning and released on $1,000 cash bail.

On Sunday, March 31, police charged Angel M. Guillen, 37, of Southampton, with a felony count of driving while intoxicated just after 8:30 p.m. According to police, Mr. Guillen was pulled over just before 8 p.m. while he was driving his 2010 Jeep westbound on Montauk Highway near Dune Lane in Amagansett.

Police said he was allegedly speeding 40 miles above the posted limit and appeared intoxicated when they pulled him over. In addition to the felony, he was also charged with driving a vehicle without an interlock device, a misdemeanor. Bail information was not available as of press time.

• East Hampton Town Police arrested Rene Saban-Tinti, 32, of Westhampton, on Saturday, March 30 just after 12:32 p.m. and charged him with a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated. According to police, they pulled Mr. Saban-Tinti over when he was unable to stay in his lane of travel while driving eastbound on Abrahams Path near Birdie Lane in East Hampton.

Police said a breath test proved he was intoxicated and he was released the next day on his own recognizance.

• Sarah Collins Kelly, 41, of Brooklyn, was charged on March 17 with a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated. According to police, they pulled her over around 1:52 a.m. on Montauk Highway near Dune Lane in

Amagansett and alleged she was driving under the influence. Following an arraignment, the next morning, Ms. Kelly was released on her own recognizance.

• “No Dogs” signs posted on the property of the Sag Harbor Old Whalers’ Presbyterian Church on Union Street were removed from their posts on the church property and damaged, according to a report filed with Sag Harbor Village Police on March 26.

• A case of grand larceny ended up being a case of mistaken identity, according to a report filed with Sag Harbor Village police on March 27. According to Police, a man reported his 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee was taken from Main Street while he was in SagTown Coffee. Police said a male subject on a skate board stepped into the Jeep, which was unlocked and had keys in a beverage holder in the front seat, and drove away. Two hours later, police received a call from the skateboard-toting gentlemen who told police he took the wrong vehicle from Main Street, expecting it to be his brother’s Jeep, which had a similar surf rack. He returned the vehicle to police and was held and questioned before the vehicle’s owner dropped the charges.

• A Franklin Avenue, Sag Harbor resident called village police on March 29 to report someone called her to say there were issues with her bank and they needed her to provide them with her Social Security number. She gave the caller that information before becoming suspicious and calling police.

• Noisy yard work on a Sunday prompted a call to Sag Harbor Village Police on March 31. Police informed a landscaper working on a property on Hillside Drive West that it was not lawful to use a leaf blower on Sundays.

• A male was found unconscious on March 31 at the Sag Harbor Launderette on Main Street. Police said he was highly intoxicated and transported him to the hospital.

• A 40-year-old Springs resident contacted East Hampton Town Police on March 27 to report an alleged phone scam. According to police, she said she had received a voicemail at 11:25

a.m. from an automated source stating they were the police and advising her to contact the Social Security Administration.

The woman called the number at 1:30 p.m. and spoke with a man who identified himself as an official with that administration, and said that someone had rented a vehicle in Texas with her Social Security number, had not returned the vehicle and was later found with drugs and money. He also told her that her Social Security number was used to open accounts at 20 different banks. She says he spoke with the man for 20 minutes and did provide him with her Social Security number and other personal information.

Police advised her to monitor her credit report, make a report to the FBI and immediately contact banking institutions.

• Stolen medication prompted an Oakview Highway resident to contact East Hampton Town Police on March 23. According to the police report, the 66-yearold male said he filled a prescription for medication at CVS pharmacy on March 22 and left the prescriptions in bags on the front seat of his vehicle while it was parked in the driveway of his residence. The next morning, he went to the vehicle to retrieve the medication to find it had been taken. Nothing else was removed from the car and the victim said he did not know who would have taken the medication.

• A 22-year-old West Babylon resident was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation, on March 23 at 8:15 p.m. after East Hampton Town Police said they found a baggie containing a leafy green substance in the gas cap area of the man’s grey 2013 Hyundai sedan after pulling him over on South Emerson Avenue near South Essex Street in Montauk. He was released at the scene on his own recognizance.

• A 27-year-old Bronx man was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana on Sunday, March 31, after police said they found the green, leafy substance in his vehicle after pulling him over on Montauk Highway in Montauk around 2:52 a.m. He was released on his own recognizance.

New York State legislators passed a state budget for 2019-20 early Monday morning that will ban single-use plastic bags statewide, bring congestion pricing to New York City, eliminate bail and pretrial detention for a number of misdemeanor and non-violent felony crimes and raise education funding by $1 billion, among many other initiatives in a $175.5 billion spending plan, including monies earmarked specifically for the East End. On Monday, New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. released a flurry of statements supporting the adopted budget specifically for aspects of the spending plan that support initiatives on the East End. According to Mr. Thiele, the enacted state budget will include an additional $500,000 for East Hampton and Southampton towns for the South Fork Commuter connection to provide “last mile” shuttle service for commuters from South Fork train stations to downtown centers. This builds on $500,000 added to the 2018 state budget for the same service for a total of $1 million in funding for the Commuter Connection, which provides transportation between Speonk and Montauk.

The state budget also contains $100,000 for East Hampton Town to continue its successful shuttle service in downtown Montauk this summer for a third year through the Hamptons Hopper. In 2018, 22,285 rides were provided during the 68 days of service, an average of 327.7 rides per day, which represents an increase of 9.2 percent from 2017, when 20,715 rides were provided over 69 days of service, according to Mr. Thiele’s office.

“The East End needs more public transit,” said Mr. Thiele. “This year’s state budget provides funding to support the seasonal shuttle in Montauk, as well as $1 million in state funding for bus connections in association with the South Fork Commuter Connection.”

Other funding included for the East End in the state budget includes $250,000 for the SUNY Stony Brook Southampton campus to develop academic and student program space on the Southampton campus and $175,000 to continue the South Fork Community Mental Health Initiative.

The North Fork Mental Health Initiative also received $175,000 this year.

The Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center was one of a number of youth programs to benefit from $1.5 million in state funding.

A month after the launch of the South Fork Commuter Connection, Southampton Town officials this week said that the service’s ridership has more than doubled in growth since the commuter train and bus service began in early March.

According to a press release issued

by Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman’s office, last week nearly 100 riders used bus shuttles from area train stations to commute to downtown centers compared to roughly 40 during the first week of service. “We expect those numbers will continue to climb as people discover this alternative solution to sitting in traffic,” Mr. Schneiderman.

The South Fork Commuter Connection costs $4.25 each way and includes the shuttle bus. The schedule features two trains in the morning, the first originating in Speonk at 6:16 a.m. and arriving in Amagansett by 7:08 a.m.

The second train originates in Hampton Bays, departing at 8:26 a.m. and travels to Montauk by 9:25 a.m. There are two afternoon trains that return from Montauk at 2:48 p.m. and 4:50 p.m., arriving in Speonk by 4:14 p.m. and in Hampton Bays by 5:43 p.m., respectively.

CPF Down 29 Percent in First Two Months of 2019 The Peconic Bay Regional Community Preservation Fund has collected almost 29 percent less in revenues across the five East End towns during the first two months of 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018, according to New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. According to Mr. Thiele, the five East End towns collected $11.98 million in revenues when compared to $16.86 million in 2018, a 28.9-percent decrease. The Peconic Bay Regional Community Preservation Fund receives monies from a 2-percent real estate transfer tax used individually by the East End towns for open space and historic preservation, for recreation and for water quality projects. Since its inception in 1999, the CPF has pulled in $1.394 billion. The February 2019 revenue, said Mr. Thiele, is the lowest February total since 2013.

“It is impossible to determine trends based on two months of CPF revenues,” said Mr. Thiele. “At least a quarter of a year of data is required to determine whether the revenue drop for the beginning of 2019 is an aberration or a significant change in the real estate market. Local government officials should closely monitor CPF revenues in the coming months and be cautious

in making any long-term projections.”

New York State Attorney General Files Suit Against Opioid Manufacturers Late last week, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed what her office called the nation’s most extensive lawsuit against the manufacturers, the Sackler family, and distributors of opioids for their role in the opioid epidemic that claimed 483 lives in Suffolk County in 2018.

The suit alleges that through years of deceptive marketing, and in allegedly not preventing the unlawful diversion of controlled substances, six national prescription opioid manufacturers, the Sackler family and four national prescription drug distributors are responsible for creating the opioid epidemic that has caused widespread addiction and overdoses across the country, including on the East End. The amended complaint expands an earlier lawsuit filed by the Office of the Attorney General against Purdue Pharma. According to a press release issued

by Ms. James’s office on Friday, the suit “breaks new ground by setting forth an extensive set of facts alleging that prescription drug distributors failed to exercise their duties to detect and report diversion of opioids through poorly designed, poorly resourced and

East End

poorly executed suspicious order monitoring programs.”

“The opioid epidemic has ravaged families and communities across New York,” said Ms. James. “We found that pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors engaged in years of deceptive marketing about the risks of opioids and failed to exercise their basic duty to report suspicious behavior, leading to the crisis we are living with today. As the Sackler family and the other defendants grew richer, New Yorkers’ health grew poorer and our state was left to foot the bill. The manufacturers and distributors of opioids are to blame for this crisis, and it is past time they take responsibility.”

The lawsuit seeks to hold manufacturers and distributors accountable and obtain financial compensation for the State of New York, specifically to be used to abate the opioid epidemic through funding for prevention programs and addiction and medical treatment for affected New Yorkers.

The amended complaint also seeks to recover the billions of dollars in profits from OxyContin sales that it alleges were fraudulently conveyed from Purdue Pharma to the Sackler family members who control the company.

H-2B Visa Cap Lifted to a Sigh of Relief Business owners concerned about availability of labor as summer season approaches

BY KATHRYN G. MENU

Following a press conference last week where East End business owners called on federal officials to increase the number of foreign workers allowed to come to the United States for seasonal employment, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen announced Friday the department would authorize an additional 30,000 H-2B visas nationwide in 2019.

However, in a press release issued late last week, Congressman Lee Zeldin said the federal government needs to offer business owners on Long Island long-term stability.

“I applaud the Secretary of Homeland Security for lifting the cap on H-2B visas for the remainder of this year to help ensure Long Island em-

ployers get the seasonal workers they need,” said Congressman Zeldin.

“However, the fight isn’t over. Suffolk County businesses have experienced uncertainty year after year and they need stability and consistency for the seasons ahead. I look forward to continuing to advocate on behalf of these hardworking Long Islanders so they can continue to grow their businesses in our community and strengthen our local economy.”

Mr. Zeldin gathered with local business owners late last month, calling on the Department of Homeland Security to raise the H-2B visa program, which allows foreign workers to legally come to the United States on a seasonal basis. He also called on the department to create long-term solutions for agricultural and non-agricul-

tural seasonal visa programs.

“It’s no secret that our sleepy little hamlet of Montauk has become a wellknown and extremely popular vacation destination. Each year, thanks to our residents and loyal visitors, hundreds of millions of dollars in spending are generated just by the accommodations, food and beverage and retail industries in our little hamlet,” President of the Montauk Chamber of Commerce Paul Monte said during the press conference. “Over the past 10 years it has become increasingly difficult to find homegrown labor to fill our seasonal positions; and now with our booming economy and record low unemployment it is almost impossible. The solution to this ongoing problem has been the H-2B Visa, guest worker program. This program

is the lifeblood of our resort town and many others just like it throughout America. Without the seasonal workers provided by this program many businesses would be forced to scale back on their services or, in some cases, actually close their doors for good.”

“As a business owner, the ability to provide for my customers during peak season is reliant on the workforce provided through the H-2B Visa Program,” John Tortorella, the owner of Tortorella Pools in Southampton, said last week. “In addition to lifting the current H-2B visa cap, there are vital reforms that must be made to the underlying program so business owners like myself don’t have to worry about having the labor we need season after season.”

Expanding staff costs continued from page 3 He explained during last Wednesday’s meeting the district had five administrators before the departure of Ms. Favre in February of 2018: a superintendent, a principal, plus an assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction who served as an assistant principal; a business administrator; and a director of special education and English as a new language (ENL) programs, a position that was held by “a teacher on special assignment.” Four people held those five positions for many years, as Ms. Favre was both superintendent and principal until just before her retirement.

Currently, Mr. Hauser said, the district has a superintendent, a principal, an assistant principal, a business administrator and a dedicated director of special education and ENL. Five people now hold those five jobs, and the teacher on special assignment has returned to teaching full-time.

He also said the district is doubling the amount of surplus moneys it is putting back into the budget this year to offset expenses.

The board meets next on April 17 and expects to adopt the budget proposal that evening. The budget vote and trustee elections are May 21.

Ahead of Schedule with Some Money to Spare The Bridgehampton School Board heard some good news last Wednesday about the major capital project the district has undertaken, which will add 35,440 square feet and more than double the size of the existing building.

John Grillo, the Port Jeffersonbased architect overseeing the $29.4 million expansion and renovation project, reported Wednesday the contractors are actually slightly ahead of schedule.

“The winter cooperated, for the most part,” he said. “I don’t want to jinx us, but we haven’t had many delays.”

Mr. Hauser reported the project is also expected to come in between $500,000 and $800,000 under the total budget, which means the district would have the ability to pay off a chunk of its debt earlier than anticipated. He said the final cost of construction is expected to be $28.6 million, which includes an 18-percent contingency cushion in case costs escalate unexpectedly. It also includes more than $1 million in reserve moneys, an expenditure that voters approved last May, for repairs and improvements not specifically covered in the bond project.

However, board member Jennifer Vinksi asked the superintendent a question: is the project actually over budget, according to the bids it awarded? She pointed out the original sum of the contracts awarded was lower. The Express reported in October of 2018 the district awarded contracts for a total of about $25.07 million for general contracting, plumbing, electrical work and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. At that point, after soft costs such as architectural and engineering fees, there was a projected “safety net,” as Mr. Grillo called it, of about $1.8 million.

Mr. Hauser told Ms. Vinski he would confirm the contracts and report back

Tackling abuse continued from page 1 where Sgt. Alversa serves as a resource officer for East Hampton High School.

The group sponsored its fourth forum on substance abuse last week featuring Sgt. Alversa and East Hampton High School Principal Adam Fine, who discussed current trends they are seeing in that school district, and a presentation by Kym Laube, the executive director of Human Understanding and Growth Service (HUGS) and the program director for SAFE in Sag Harbor, a coalition of Sag Harbor community leaders that is looking to bring education about substance abuse to the community and create alternative choices in an effort to effect change.

“I want to tell you, as I travel the country, but more importantly as I travel Suffolk County and the East End, it is everywhere and the schools I applaud the most are the ones talking about this and bringing people together so we can begin to change behavior,” said Ms. Laube. “Because it is in every school district and the school districts I find that are getting in front of it are the ones talking honestly and openly about it.”

“We know it is a problem,” said Mr. Fine. “We see it every day and it is not going away, and it is not getting better. Over the past few months at East Hampton High School, we had probably our largest number of vape-related liquid THC suspensions we have ever had … green, leafy marijuana in East Hampton High School is almost a thing of the past now.”

According to data presented by Mr. Fine last Thursday, in 2016-17, East Hampton High School suspended four students for having paraphernalia, one for possession of liquid THC, and four for having traditional green, leafy marijuana. In 2017-18, five students were suspended for paraphernalia, four for liquid THC, and two for traditional

marijuana. So far this year, there have been 14 suspensions for paraphernalia, 11 for liquid THC and one for traditional marijuana.

“Just as we saw a transition from kids coming in with alcohol, that transitioned to marijuana and now marijuana has progressed into synthetic marijuana,” said Mr. Fine.

Sgt. Alversa said even more concerning is that with potentially lethal substances like fentanyl and carfentanil — a tranquilizer for large animals — often found in drugs on the street in New York, students don’t actually know what they are consuming or what has been added to it. He pointed to a case in New Haven, Connecticut, where 76 people overdosed on synthetic marijuana laced with fentanyl.

“The liquid nicotine, the liquid marijuana are so addictive it is hard to get a student off of it,” said Sgt. Alversa.

“And some of the students will tell you, ‘I cannot go a day without smoking electronic cigarettes’ or ‘I cannot go a day without smoking marijuana’ … we need to do a better job before it gets to that point.”

The devices to use synthetic marijuana, noted Mr. Fine, are very hard to detect and easy to hide. Sgt. Alversa brought a number of devices, many that look like a USB port, or a pen, or even a set of keys, for parents to inspect.

Pills like Xanax have also been found, said Sgt. Alversa, as have pills that were clearly counterfeit and when tested proved to be different substances than advertised by its pill markings. Codeine cough syrup — derived from opioids — mixed with soda like Sprite or Mountain Dew, is also being used, he said, with potentially fatal consequences.

“We are talking about undeveloped brains making bad decisions and it is constant,” said Mr. Fine. “Now take those undeveloped brains and throw substances on top of it.”

company, will be awarded at a future board meeting because the district did not receive any bids for that portion of the work, Ms. Graves said Wednesday.

“We are pursuing putting that back out to bid and seeing if we can get that work off of state contracting,” she said.

The Sag Harbor Learning Center, in addition to housing the district’s half-day prekindergarten classes, will also house the district’s business offices as well as a daycare provider that will lease extra classroom space and charge for its services. The new facil-

Residency Policy Reviewed The school board on Monday reviewed a policy governing students’ residency within school district borders, which has been updated since the board rejected a previous version in September.

Changes include more flexibility in the types and number of documents that parents can show to prove residency when first registering their children for school. A principal can initiate an investigation into residency by alerting the superintendent if a

complaint is brought to his or her attention. The updated draft also eliminates the earlier idea that the district maintain a registry of leases and follow up with families whose leases expire.

The updated policy also gives principals leeway to allow children who would have to change schools the ability to stay for 45 days or until the end of the term; oftentimes that is the result of a life change such as a divorce, a death in the family or a shift in economic circumstances. The student can “stay until an easier transition time is possible,” board vice president Jordana Sobey, a member of the policy committee, explained Wednesday.

meat left on the bones.”

Even with the tax levy increase, the projected tax rate of $2.614 per $1,000 of assessed value is a slight decrease from the current year’s tax rate of $2.72. That means a house assessed at $795,000 would pay about $87 less in taxes next year.

Changes from the previous budget presentation include $5,000 more for fire department equipment maintenance and $12,425 more for fire department liability insurance. There’s a new $4,000 expenditure for utilities, repairs and maintenance of the vehicle impound yard currently being built, $10,000 more for highway department salaries and $13,000 more for contracted services in zoning, planning and architectural review.

The village is still weighing the addition of a full-time paramedic’s salary and benefits for the Sag Harbor Volunteer Ambulance Corps. The corps currently has a handful of part-time paid paramedics, but Missie Hesler, its vice president, says it is constantly struggling to retain those paramedics when full-time opportunities pop up in other places. “We’re the only one out here that doesn’t have a full-time paid person,” Ms. Hesler said.

In North Haven, during a public hearing Tuesday on the tax cap, the village board presented a budget that meets the maximum tax cap limit and did not vote on a resolution allowing it to pierce the cap.

The $1,805,650 spending plan reflects an expected increase in fire and ambulance protection contract with Sag Harbor Village of about $28,000, up to $611,000. It also reflects an increase of $68,500, up to $143,500, in the animal control budget for more equipment in the fight against ticks and tick-borne illnesses. For employee benefits and salaries, an additional $7,900 has been added to the budget, bringing that portion up to $167,500.

Expenses related to the planning and zoning boards will drop by $12,500 and $7,500, respectively.

General road maintenance will decrease by $7,000, but spending on public roadways in general will rise property owners connected to the wastewater treatment plant, is proposed at $788,361, a year-over-year spending increase of 4.81 percent.

Following the public hearing the village board voted 4-0, with trustee James Larocca absent, to adopt a reso-

by $25,000 up to $90,000 as part of a cost-neutral budget line that is funded by federal dollars.

The projected tax-levy increase is approximately 6 percent, which is the maximum the village can raise the tax levy without needing a special resolution allowing it to rise above the cap. The tax rate is set to drop slightly, down to $.4863 per $1,000 of assessed value. Thanks to a village-wide assessment that topped $2 billion for the first time, the projected 2019-2020 tax rate would be the lowest it has been in 10 years. A resident with a house valued at $1 million would expect to pay about $8 less in taxes next year.

Village mayor Jeff Sander said the budget “looks good,” and the three other trustees present agreed. The board said it plans to adopt a final version, which may see more changes yet, at its April 16 regular meeting at 5 p.m. lution allowing them to pierce the tax cap if need be. The budget is not finalized, and can still be changed; the board has until May 1 to formally adopt the 2019-2020 budget.

The village will hold a formal public hearing on its entire budget and sewer

pitch pines in Northwest Woods, implementing an aggressive forest management plan on more than 200 properties stretching over 1,500 acres.

According to Mr. Wilson, over 12,600 trees were felled in an effort to stave off the infestation on both private and public lands.

While the state of emergency has since passed, Mr. Wilson said during a town board work session on Tuesday that his department is still inspecting and identifying infested trees, although in much smaller numbers than found in 2017 and 2018. That said, Mr. Wilson encouraged property owners to remain vigilant and contact the town immediately if they suspect an infestation. While the town cannot actively fell trees on private property, it can identify an infestation and advise homeowners before the problem grows to infest multiple trees.

“The beetles are active now,” Mr. Wilson said on Tuesday. “And we are getting calls and identifying trees, but the numbers are so much smaller than last year. We are cutting in ones and twos and threes.”

“And if they go uncut,” cautioned Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc, “the one tree becomes 10 trees and 10 trees becomes 100 and 100 becomes 1,000 trees — literally by a factor of 10 in a very short time. Just a matter of weeks.”

On Tuesday, Mr. Wilson explained to cull the pine beetle infestation the town and the Department of Environmental Conservation implemented a cut and leave program, which while effective, is also unsightly.

“There have been a number of strong requests from the public to the town requesting clearing and reforestation, so I am here to speak about that clean-up on town-owned lands only, particularly on the Curtis property, on the north side of Swamp Road,” said Mr. Wilson.

The 33-acre property had roughly 2,400 trees felled. Mr. Wilson said his department was coordinating with the highway department, potentially with help from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department’s work labor program, to cut and remove the trees — largely by hand to avoid harming the land. The focus would be on clearing 1,250 feet of road frontage on Swamp Road of felled trees and allowing reforestation to occur through the area’s natural seed bank or by purchasing pitch pine saplings, said Councilman David Lys, the town board liaison to land management.

“This is a potential action plan that will not be done in a week or a month.

This will take a couple months because there are a ton of trees left up there,” said Mr. Lys. “If we can do this, start now, over the next couple months we might have revegetation of that scenic pathway done and done soon, certainly sooner than if we have mother nature take its course.”

In addition to town-owned land on Swamp Road, the town will also look at reforestation at Edward’s Hole Preserve, which students from East Hampton High School are interested in getting involved in, said Mr. Wilson, as well as a section of land off Two Holes of Water.

“My office has received quite a few calls from people who live in that area and drive down that stretch of road because it has become very unsightly,” said Mr. Van Scoyoc. “It looks like a war zone or a bomb went off with that devastation of trees, so if we can offer those roadsides a break from that devastation I think the community would appreciate that.”

P

ressure on high school students today is greater than it was in past generations. Partially because of the internet and social media, but also because of higher expectations — for better and worse — that parents and society lay at the feet of children, juggling teen life today is different than what most adults experienced in their youth.

Pierson softball coach John “Woody” Kneeland offered some insight on the matter when he said this week that he considers each individual student’s needs when it comes down to putting together a team, or else he might not have a team at all. His best athlete might play three sports, even two at the same time, have a part in the school play, contribute to several school clubs and be enrolled in the challenging International Baccalaureate program all at the same time. Juggling that schedule is a challenge for all involved, and sports is not always at the top of the list.

Which is why it was so impressive to hear news this week that 27 individual student-athletes from Pierson and five separate sports teams were recognized from the winter season by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association with scholar-athlete awards, meaning the individuals and the teams collectively had grade point averages that were 90 or above. This included the Pierson girls and boys basketball teams as well as boys and girls winter track and boys swimming, which are shared sports with East Hampton High School.

Sag Harbor School District Athletic Director Eric Bramoff, who is an alumnus of Pierson, said times have changed since the days when coaches required athletes to make every minute of practice or suffer some kind of consequence.

Bramoff said the approach to athletics at Pierson has evolved. There are basketball players who are also leads in the school play. There’s the robotics team and the National Honor Society. And, of course, there is the regular load of English, math, science and history. “The institutional knowledge of each coach and the relationship they have with the kids and their parents can help navigate all that,” Bramoff pointed out.

At Pierson, coaches like Kneeland recognize that communication is key to their success, and that the proper “navigation” of a season can lead to the kind of scholar-athlete awards Pierson students earned over the winter. Kudos to coaches Kevin Barron and Hank Katz (basketball), Yani Cuesta and Ben Turnbull (winter track) and Craig Brierley, the swim coach at East Hampton, for navigating their seasons and for allowing these children to shine in the classroom and in their athletic pursuits as well.

Sobering Statistics

W

hile we all like to celebrate success, it’s important to also recognize that many children are struggling to cope with the challenges before them while avoiding high-risk, unhealthy and potentially fatal choices.

East End school districts, for the most part, have embraced educating parents and community members about the dangers of underage drinking and the impact of drug use on the underdeveloped teenage brain — a brain not fully formed until the age of 25. The reality of drug use today is different than it was even a few years ago. Synthetic marijuana, in various strains and potencies, has largely replaced green, leafy marijuana and has presented a new challenge for parents and educators since it is hard to detect, yet extremely powerful and potentially fatal when oils are mixed with opioids like fentanyl.

The Adolescent Mental Health and Substance Abuse Task Force held an informative, if not well attended, forum last week at LTV Studios in Wainscott. East Hampton Town Police Sgt. Ken Alversa and East Hampton High School Principal Adam Fine presented trends they are seeing in teen substance abuse. They didn’t mince words. They did not underplay the dangers facing teens today or the sobering reality of how prevalent liquid nicotine and liquid THC is in our high schools.

It was a sobering conversation that more parents need to have with local school administrators because it is happening across the East End. Turning a blind eye only has the potential to lead to more devastating statistics.

Friday Afternoon, Mashashimuet Park

The Walking Tour BY MICHAEL HELLER

Letters to the Editor Halt Loss of Vegetation To the Editor: The Sag Harbor Express has brought to the fore very important issues facing Sag Harbor through their Sessions forums. One recent session focused on “Land Use and Preservation.” Many concerns were discussed, but one pressing issue still must be addressed: the preservation of Sag Harbor’s natural landscape. One only needs to look around to see the number of lots completely cleared, and in their place, walls of high shrubs, manicured lawns etc., creating a suburban setting in what has historically been scenic country surroundings. This destruction of our natural environment has also increased noise, air pollution and water runoff, as well as severely reduced vital wildlife habitats.

The disconcerting fact is that Sag Harbor is virtually the only village on the East End without significant natural landscape protections. Over the last 2 ½ years, with the knowledge of the Village government, a small group has worked behind the scenes to preserve the indigenous trees and vegetation of Sag Harbor. Initially, the group easily garnered over 200 signatures in support of regulations.

After reviewing codes from other Villages, and in consultation with landscape architects, building inspectors and other experts in land preservation, the group provided a comprehensive protection proposal to the Mayor, Village Board of Trustees (VBOT) and the Historic Preservation and Architectural Review Board (HPARB). This proposal, which gained the full support of Save Sag Harbor, the Group for the East End and SANS residents, included specific recommendations to help retain the established landscape of our Village. Notwithstanding this effort, there has been no progress on meaningful codification.

It is time to halt the devastating loss of native trees, shrubs and other vegetation in our Village. The Mayor, VBOT and the HPARB should act quickly to close this significant gap in the code and enact consequential legislative protections of our natural environment. This is a necessity and an obligation if we want to safeguard Sag Harbor Village from becoming a sterile suburbia, forever losing its natural heritage and beauty, the very things that have brought most of us to this charming, picturesque Village.

Of Fences Dear Editor, Last year, right about this time, my husband Scott, who had been doing some yard work, called to me and showed me a turtle trapped by our fence. S/he was facing the bay across the street, yet obviously blocked from accessing it.

Scott cut a hole in the bottom of the fence as the turtle watched. We left for a couple of hours of errands, and upon

our return the turtle was nowhere in sight. We’re assuming a happy ending.

It got me to thinking, however, about how, growing up, no one had fences. We were all able to access our neighbors’ yards to retrieve an overthrown ball or simply to take a short cut. Looking around Sag Harbor and pretty much all of the Hamptons, I realized that almost everyone has a fence, whether it’s by ordinance to prevent those from falling into a swimming pool, or to protect our precious hydrangeas from deer.

I remembered, a week earlier, seeing my neighbor’s cat stalking a rabbit, and realized with horror, that a rabbit, while running from a cat, could certainly be stopped by a fence, with no escape. I called Turtle Rescue of the Hamptons and discussed the situation with a representative who expressed her exasperation over the many ways in which our wildlife is imperiled by civilization, particularly at times of migration, like now. A suggestion she made is that if you are installing a fence, do so with the bottom a few inches off the ground. If you already have a fence in place, cut an opening in the bottom on each side of your property (she advised animals will walk along the fence until they find an opening.) I realize those of you with cats or small dogs may not wish to take the chance of losing your pet. Perhaps other solutions exist. I figured this was worth sharing.

Happy spring, Patti Weinberg Sag Harbor

New Reality Dear Editor, I am dismayed that even with declining student enrollment our school tax levy continues to increase.

With a proposed 4.67% maximum tax levy, the Sag Harbor School Board is chasing out young families who can no longer afford the taxes. I realize that the Board has also examined lesser increases, but with fewer students why should there be any increase?

Why do administration personnel costs continue to rise?

Why does the budget for athletics continue to escalate (including $30,000 for artificial grass mats for the gym). Is this really necessary?

And then there is the Stella Maris fiasco. The costs for renovations continue to spiral higher with no end in sight and to what end?

It’s time to admit this was a major mistake and end the runaway costs by selling the facility.

It’s time to re-evaluate the proposed budget. With the elimination of the SALT tax deductions young families and those on fixed incomes can no longer afford year-afteryear, ever-escalating taxes. There is a new reality and the Board of Education needs to take off its blinders and have some consideration for the taxpayers.

Sincerely, Joan Morra Sag Harbor

he recent approval by the trustees of Long Island Power Authority for a food scraps-to-energy plant to be built in Yaphank links back to an original purpose of LIPA — to develop safe, alternative means of power.

LIPA was created by the Long Island Power Act of 1985 primarily to prevent the Shoreham nuclear power plant from going into operation and to further instead safe energy technologies. In its three decades, LIPA has emphasized solar and wind power to generate electricity. The food scraps-to-energy OK marks a move to another form of safe energy.

The LIPA trustees voted unanimously on March 20 for an $84 million, 20-year contract to buy energy from a facility to be built by American Organic Energy that would convert 180,000 tons of food scraps a year into bio-gas to fuel a six-megawatt power plant as well as vehicles and equipment.

Underlying this is the huge problem of food waste in the United States. Some 40 percent of food produced in the nation is wasted, studies have found. One way to deal with this was featured on the Today show a day before LIPA acted, in a segment titled “Cooking With Trash.” It featured Cameron Macleish, who has a YouTube channel with that name. He came with seemingly fresh food retrieved from a dumpster, and with his mother, Ellen, a chef.

Dumpster-dumping for food is “like opening a treasure chest…There is so much good food thrown out on a daily basis,” he stated, his interviewers somewhat taken aback.

This is one way to reduce food waste. Another way is a movement today involving restaurants pledging to generate “zero waste” with a variety of recipes using produce that otherwise would end up in the trash.

There are other strategies. Governor Andrew Cuomo has been seeking to require “organizations that produce large amounts of excess food a year to donate edible items to food banks and recycle the rest.” He heralded the new “groundbreaking…clean energy project.”

No matter how much the reduction in wasted food, there still would be inedible scraps. Charles Vigliotti, cofounder of American Organic Energy, said that “on Long Island, the notion that we would put virtually all our commercial food waste onto trucks and carry it to Ohio and North Carolina is just insane.”

The main safe alternative energy technologies — solar and wind — are an energy bonanza. With 38 solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of our house for 10 years, I still marvel at seeing the electric meter going backwards — the panels are harvesting more electricity than we are using.

We saved much in installing them with a LIPA rebate. That rebate no longer exists, but over the decade the price of solar panels has halved and their output significantly increased. Houses and commercial and government buildings throughout Long Island should have solar panels on their roofs.

Coupled with this, we had an “energy audit” done of leaks and other issues and took simple steps to make our more than century-old saltbox house energy efficient.

We also have two rooftop solar panels that produce hot water.

LIPA has been deeply involved in the major state initiative underway to place wind turbines well off our shores.

Yet in addition to the sun which on most days shines on us and the winds that blow mightily off our coasts, there are other available energy sources. Take wave and tidal power long advocated here by Sarah Meyland, a professor in the Department of Environmental Technology and Sustainability at New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury. As Dr. Meyland has stated: “One thing Long Island has that no one else in the state has is wave energy.

We have it 24 hours a day. The sun doesn’t have to shine, the wind doesn’t have to blow. Tides rise and fall on a regular basis, day in and day out.” Countries, especially in Scandinavia, have “deployed tide-generated plants that are completely submerged and generate a lot of electricity. It’s absolutely clean, and if we could support enough of these, we would solve a lot of our downstate energy problems.”

Indeed, next to Roosevelt Island in the East River, off Long Island’s west end, Verdant Power has had a demonstration project with six turbines spinning with the river’s motion. Verdant now seeks to install 30 turbines to generate electricity.

There are opportunities to use tidal power to Long Island’s east—with Plum Gut off Orient Point ideal. Natural Currents Energy Services has been considering it. We’ve been in Plum Gut in our sailboat when the tide is changing—and, wow, what power waits to be tapped! As for the waves hitting Long Island’s ocean beaches, the energy that can be gotten from them is also endless—and other nations are harnessing wave-power.

Considering its founding mission, it’s a natural for LIPA to be a safe energy leader.

KARL GROSSMAN is a journalism professor and journalist who frequently writes about Long Island issues.

In November 2010, a tractor accident killed 35-year-old farmer Joshua Levine, son of Myron Levine. As a coping mechanism, the family decided to carry out his mission with “A Moveable Feast,” an annual culinary get-together organized by Slow Food East End on behalf of the Joshua Levine Memorial Foundation.

This year’s event will feature small bites from more than 20 local chefs on Sunday, April 7, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Dodds & Eder in Sag Harbor.

By Michelle Trauring What do you look forward to every year before A Moveable Feast?

I look forward to having so many people that are committed to teaching children about healthy eating and seeing people that are really dedicated to having their children experience a healthy life and learn to deal with a sustainable environment. It just brings a lot of nice people together in one forum.

It’s not the typical Hamptons event over the summer — and that’s not to denigrate any of those events, and I certainly don’t mean to. But at a lot of those events, you have people come that want to be seen. At this event, they really aren’t interested in being seen. They’re interested in being part of a movement that really is geared to teaching children about what’s important, as far as health and sustainability and the environment.

What is it like to actually be there?

It really is amazing. The food is outrageous. We have some of the best restaurants and caterers and food purveyors on the East End, and they donate the food for the event. I think at every single event, there are literally thousands of oysters. It is a moveable feast, in the true sense of the Italian term from which it was originally coined. It’s just a culinary delight.

The atmosphere is just wonderful because you have local people all there committed to something that’s very wonderful. And the room is always quite crowded. I think last year we had well over 250 people there.

Josh was really a very, very important part of the local community out here. He was a big presence.

Why a dinner to honor Josh’s memory and legacy?

He was very much interested in food and healthy eating. He was just a remarkable young man. He got a job as an apprentice at Quail Hill Farm and was eventually market manager at the Sag Harbor farmers’ market.

A woman told me a story about Josh, a few days after the accident, and she also told this story at the funeral. She had lost her sight about eight years before and she was gradually getting it back, and she found that kale helped tremendously. And one of the few farms growing kale back then was Quail Hill. Every Saturday, Josh would bring lots of kale to the farmers’ market and she would buy up all of the kale.

One steaming hot Saturday, she said, at four o’clock her doorbell rings and she sees Josh at the door and she says, “Josh, what are you doing here?” And he says, “You forgot your kale.” And she said, “But it’s four o’clock, Josh,” and the market ended at 1 o’clock. But she hadn’t come, and he knew she had a house that was for sale, and he knew it was on the water, so he went riding around looking for “For Sale” signs and, finally, he found someone who knew that someone at Provisions knew where she lived, so he went to Provisions and they told him and that’s how he found her.

He had been doing this for three hours, and he had put the kale on ice for her.

I never knew this story. But that tells you a little bit about why something like this is appropriate in the context of Josh.

How do you feel, leading up to the dinner?

To some extent, it is a little bit of a bittersweet event for us. Some of the things that might stand out might not be necessarily positive, and they could bring up thoughts you don’t always want to deal with, because Josh was really a very, very important part of the local community out here.

He was a big presence.

What do you think Josh would say about “A Moveable Feast”?

I think he would love it. His passion was healthy eating and education and children. That’s what this is all about, and that’s why it’s so appropriate. And many of the people that he was involved with back then are still involved.

Springtime dess of spring. She is depicted in art of the time as a goodlooking young woman, frequently carrying in her hand seeds that she is distributing over the land. Typically in art, she represents happiness that winter is gone. On one piece of sculpture dating from the fifth century B.C., Demeter, the goddess of bread, is sitting holding three ears of corn, and her daughter, Persephone, is standing with lit torches — a contrast between the long nights and agricultural barrenness of winter and the long days and agricultural life of spring.

In Homer’s Odyssey, Persephone, and her husband, the god, Hades, speak about how precious life is as we know it, even to privileged gods who are immortal in another world:

So I am grateful that I have lived into old age, and I cherish my life and the lives of people I love, and also those who are no longer alive.

#tbt (Throw Back Thursday)

arch 20 was the first day of spring, the season when life renews itself, and invites us to renew our lives too. In ancient Roman mythology, Flora is the goddess of spring.

(Think of flowers.) One of the most famous paintings of her is in Botticelli’s Primavera (Spring). As I write this, I look out a window at a nature preserve behind my house in North Haven. I anticipate what I’ve experienced each year, the barren trees turning light green with the first leaves of spring, and flowers growing all over the meadow on which the trees are found. In fact, in Botticelli’s painting, Flora’s gown has flowers on it. Each spring, I like to wander in nature preserves and other natural areas and look at the flowers and new, lightgreen leaves — natural beauty at one of its brightest points. It is the season in which animals mate, and soon I will see babies of different species as I walk through wooded areas, the largest of them, and therefore the most conspicuous of them, being deer.

Not long ago in rural areas of the U.S., some people used to light bonfires on the night before the first day of spring. Light and warmth to greet longer and warmer days. Great for farming. And great for all of us to be outdoors, and to be anticipating the even longer and warmer days of summer. The longest day of the year is the Summer Solstice on June 21, the end of spring and the first day of summer.

Psychologists tell us longer days, i.e., more time of light, make us sleep better at night, feel less depressed, more alert, more energetic, and make us think more clearly.

Alfred Tennyson wrote that, “In the spring a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love.” And it is also true that for people of all ages, in the spring their thoughts turn to love of life in general.

In ancient Greek mythology, Persephone was the god-

O shinning Odysseus, never try to console me for dying

I rather would follow the plough as thrall to another man, one with no land allotted to him and not much to live on, than be a king over all the perished dead.

So I am grateful that I have lived into old age, and I cherish my life and the lives of people I love, and also those who are no longer alive. Spring makes all of this more poignant.

As William Barclay said, “There are two great days in a person’s life — the day we are born and the day we discover why.” We can fulfill this in pursuing Socrates’s truth as we walk through the life and light of spring: “Wisdom begins in wonder.”

May I never cease to wonder and seek understanding however long or short is the rest of my life.

RICHARD GAMBINO loves looking at the many photographs he’s taken of nature in all seasons.

The aurora, or electrical display, of last Friday night, was one of the most grand illuminations of the kind seen from eastern Long Island for many years. Just after 7 o’clock in the evening a huge pillar of light appeared in the extreme east, as if there was a large fire in the distance, and soon after another appeared in the west, with a bright band encircling the heavens from one to the other, and of such brilliancy that the sky at the northward looked as black as if it were a dense thundercloud.

100 Years Ago April 10, 1919

The baseball game which was scheduled to play last Saturday at Pierson was called off on account of the rain. The team has profited by the delay in the fact that it has had several good practices this week. Saturday, the Pierson team will face Southold in the park. A very good game is expected, since Southold always has had a strong team. Game is called at 3:30 o’clock, tickets fifteen cents, come early and enjoy a good game.

25 Years Ago April 7, 1994

Sag Harbor once again fought with the demon that through its history has repeatedly risen from some netherworld to consume one or many of its buildings.

An Easter morning fire, that drew nearly 300 firefighters from 20 different departments from their homes and celebrations, devoured the Emporium Hardware store and an adjacent building fueled by stores of turpentine and varnishes, paint thinners and urethanes and spewed a black acrid cloud of smoke over Main Street for more than six hours until it was finally brought under control last Sunday at 5 p.m.

APRIL 4, 2019

Plan a new future for an old schoolhouse continued from page 1 once again.

North Haven Trustee Dianne Skilbred, Village Improvement Society president Jessica von Hagn and a committee of community members have launched an effort to move the old schoolhouse down the street to the current village hall property and transform it into a museum that can host school field trips, library programs, weekend visiting hours and other educational activities.

Ms. Skilbred said this week she thinks it would be exciting to “teach children of today what school was like then. I think it would be fun for the children.”

The committee is considering moving the schoolhouse for proximity to the bathrooms and parking at village hall.

“I think some people may not want it to move, and I understand that,” she said. “But if anybody thinks about it, they don’t just want it to sit here for storage. It’s a waste of an historic building, which as you can see is in good shape.”

This particular schoolhouse is North Haven’s second, after an earlier iteration was built sometime around 1796 or possibly earlier, according to research published in the 2006 book “The Early History of North Haven” by Dorothy Ingersoll Zaykowski, Joseph Zaykowski and Ronald L. Lowe. The structure has had multiple locations and lives.

After children began attending school in a new, two-room school built in 1892, the 1847 building was moved and used as a simple shed for many years by Annie Corwin on her

property at Maunekea Street and Ferry Road. “The Early History” book indicates it may once have been used as village hall, thanks to a community restoration effort in 1932 and 1933 led by the newly formed North Haven Village Improvement Society. By that time the 1847 schoolhouse had been moved back to its location at the corner of Ferry Road and Payne Avenue, where it sits today.

“The Village Improvement Society donated $90 toward the restoration,” the authors wrote in “The Early History.” “Local workers gave of their time and talents … the school children held a fair to raise money.”

Ms. Skilbred says in the mid-20th century, homeowner associations often held meetings there. According to “The Early History,” the 1847 schoolhouse is “the only historic community structure still standing on North Haven.”

The East End is home to a handful of old schoolhouses that serve civic or educational functions. The Old Noyac Schoolhouse is on Noyac Road and is where the Noyac Civic Council meets.

The Amagansett Schoolhouse, built in 1802, is on the grounds of the presentday Amagansett School. Southampton Village has the circa-1830 Red Creek Schoolhouse on Meeting House Lane, originally built in Hampton Bays.

Riverhead Town maintains the 1822 Schoolhouse on East Main Street, originally built in Baiting Hollow, but was moved and restored in 1977 and used as a museum ever since.

Then, of course, there’s the Sagaponack School and the Wainscott School.

Sagaponack’s “little red schoolhouse,” as it’s known locally, was built in 1885 and is still in active use as a school to-

day. In Wainscott, where schools had been single-room structures since 1730, a one-room schoolhouse from the 1930s serves as an auxiliary building to the newer, two-room school that opened in 2008.

By the 1920s, students in North Haven had begun attending Pierson High School in Sag Harbor. The tworoom school that sat vacant on the property of the original schoolhouse was destroyed by fire in 1926, with “The Early History” offering two causes. The unofficial scuttlebutt, the writers said, was that “bootleggers set fire to it to distract the authorities while contraband was being unloaded from boats on the North Haven shore during prohibition.” But the archives of The Sag Harbor Express offered an official account: “a party of young folks” having an evening gathering in the vestibule most likely dropped a match or a cigarette to accidentally cause the blaze.

That’s when Mrs. Eugene Hodenpyl Sr., who attended the North Haven School herself in the 1870s, suggested to the North Haven Village Improvement Society the 1847 schoolhouse should be restored to its original site, cleaned up and used as a municipal meetinghouse. The community agreed and the building returned in 1933, but it came back facing Payne Avenue instead of Ferry Road as it had originally stood.

And that’s how it stands today.

Where the current restoration plan stands, according to North Haven Mayor Jeff Sander, is an informationgathering phase in which the village board has given Ms. Skilbred, Ms. von Hagn and the committee the green

light to explore all of their options.

The village trustees have included a tentative budget line of $10,000 for the schoolhouse project in its proposed 2019-2020 budget.

“I think it’s a good idea. I think it would be more visible and more useful at village hall,” Mr. Sander said.

“We have a lot more work to do to see if it’s feasible from a cost perspective.”

Even if the move to the grounds of the present-day village hall doesn’t work out, the mayor said, “we would still pursue using it more fully” in its current location.

“It’s a great little building and we think it should be put to better use,” he said.

Moving the schoolhouse would free up the village-owned property at Ferry Road and Payne Avenue. Ms. Skilbred said that leaves plenty of options, including a community garden, affordable housing, a potential Community Preservation Fund sale to Southampton Town and more.

Inside the schoolhouse is what is thought to be an original potbelly stove, which isn’t in good enough shape to be functional again, but remains in good physical shape. Etchings by students who long ago carved their initials into the walls are still visible.

According to “The Early History,” the letters represent names like Corwin, Edwards, Kolbeck, Curry and Dutcher.

“It’s a little bit of North Haven, and we’re a small community, so it’s nice to bring awareness to the history of the schoolhouse,” Ms. von Hagn said this week. “I don’t even know if people who drive by truly even know this is a schoolhouse. It’s exciting to bring this to life again in a different way.”

BACK IN THE OFFICE

The staff of the Sag Harbor office of Brown Harris Stevens last Tuesday returned to their newly remodeled office on Main Street, which was severely damaged in the December 2016 fire that also destroyed the Sag Harbor Cinema.

Spending compromise continued from page 1 the measure, while board members Chris Tice, Susan Lamontagne and Alex Kriegsman voted against it.

The 3-percent tax levy increase differs from the “2 percent tax cap” language used by state officials because of factors such as bustling real estate growth and exclusions for debt on capital projects.

“It was the result of really good discussion amongst the board, even though the vote was 4-3,” Ms. Sobey said Wednesday. “It was coming to as close as kind of a meeting of the minds as we could.”

She presented legal research to the board that suggests that if the district goes below the tax levy this year, it can go beyond its capped tax levy next year up to 1.5 percent.

“Based on that, I was okay with going up to 1.5 percent below the tax cap, knowing that there was all this talk about how there was the compounding effect of going below the cap and leaving it on the table year-to-year,” she said.

Ms. Kolhoff said she felt 3 percent “represented a nice middle ground.”

“Our administration did a great job of summarizing any significant changes in the overall budget,” she said in an email. “We discussed all of the highlights, and had an opportunity to review the detailed line items.”

Ms. Lamontagne pushed for an “even lower” increase.

“I really don’t think we have really been doing our due diligence in our budget cycle,” she said Wednesday. “We were not getting the level of detail that we have been getting in the past. … I think there were probably some things that we can take out of the budget that are wants and not needs. I wanted us to have a discussion about where we could do better, how we could sharpen our pencils.”

Ms. Tice called for postponing the tax levy decision, saying she wanted more information. Her motion was turned down.

“The budgeting process has been the

least transparent process I have seen and has raised more questions than provided answers for me,” she said Tuesday. “I am hopeful in our April 16 meeting that the board and the public have the opportunity to engage in a robust conversation about what the final budget proposition should look like.”

Ms. Graves said the information differs from what board members had in the past because the district recently switched to a new software system.

“Our budget codes no longer are what they used to be,” she said. “We have also have had changes in personnel. There’s a lot of manpower that goes into having all that.”

On Monday, Elena Loreto, the president of the Noyac Civic Council, urged the board to “apply the reserve funds that they have. They have several and they’re at the max.”

“Money is like manure,” Ms. Loreto said in an interview Tuesday. “If you keep it stacked up in a big pile, it smells. If you spread it around, it does some good.”

Sandi Kruel, a parent and former school board member, agreed. On Tuesday, she said the lack of a line-by-line final budget available to the public was “an insult to people who actually know budgets.”

“It is your responsibility as elected officials to follow through and have enough information,” she said. “I’m devastated that my school district is in this shape.”

Ms. Kolhoff responded in an email by saying “it takes quite a while to build and review the budget on an annual basis. It is why we start the process in January. The public will have time to review the budget in its entirety prior to voting on it in May.” Ms. Kruel also said she felt the board disrespected her when she was speaking at the podium during the workshop.

Ms. Kolhoff replied, “Historically, I think the tone of some of the public discourse in certain circles is often detrimental to retaining leadership and effective governance teams.”

There are also rumors of bluefish in western Long Island waters. School bass are still being caught in the back creeks. There was some better news on the codfishing front. The Viking Fleet made a long-distance wreck trip to the east and found a good catch of cod and pollack. Closer to home there was a fair catch of cod from the wrecks south of Long Island. Improving weather should see more trips to the cod grounds. Clamming tides continue with clams being taken. Waterfowl numbers are waning as they head north.

Women Get Their Turn On The Jury ‘Twelve Angry Men’ with all-female cast

BY MICHELLE TRAURING

I

n 1954, Reginald Rose wrote his drama “12 Angry Men” — nearly 20 years before women were allowed to serve on juries in all 50 states.

Broadway producer Lauren Class Schneider is working to correct that egregious wrong.

This weekend, impassioned women from all over the country will gather to read the famous play wherever they can, from community colleges, law schools and universities to high schools, community centers and regional theaters — including, on Sunday afternoon, Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor — as part of the “12,000 Voices” initiative, which aims for 1,000 readings nationwide.

“The readings will take place in every nook and cranny of the country: red, blue and purple communities in all 50 states,” Schneider said in

‘We’re still looking at these issues — what goes around comes around — in terms of the state of our country right now and people having so many prejudices, whether it be on age, religion, race...’ - SUZANNE CLIFTON WALSH a statement. “And after each staged reading there will be the opportunity to update voter registration and learn about voter engagement. Voter suppression is real. Gerrymandering is real. Our voices and our votes matter.

We can increase awareness and participation through the medium we all love.”

Suzanne Clifton Walsh will direct the Sag Harbor reading, featuring a cast of local actors who will explore the power one person can have when speaking with conviction in the judicial system, and the bigotry within that runs rampant to this day.

MINDI ABAIR WAS BORN TO PLAY SAX, DESPITE WHAT HER TEACHER SAID

BY MICHELLE TRAURING

W

hen Mindi Abair first picked up a saxophone, it was bigger than her — but she didn’t think much of it.

No one told her it was an odd instrument for the 8-year-old girl to play, until it was too late, she said.

Seated across from her saxophone professor at the University of Miami, he took one look at the college freshman and said, “Girls don’t make it at this school. I’ll let you into the education department, but I won’t let you into the jazz department.”

She was devastated.

“I grew up with hippie parents that just said, ‘You can be anything you want to be, peace and love, everything’s great.’ I found out that wasn’t the case then,” Abair said on Thursday during a recent telephone interview from Los Angeles. “But you know what? I think that was a great turning point for me. I realized, you can take things that happen, the blockades, and you can use them to your benefit.”

His rejection lit a fire inside of her, she said. “I went, ‘One day, I’ll come back here and you’re gonna apologize. You’re gonna wish I went to this school. I’m gonna show you that I was worthy.’”

Now a two-time Grammy nominee with a pair of #1 spots on the Billboard album charts — her tenth studio album, “No Good Deed,” set to drop June 28 — Abair lives in Napa with her fiancé when she isn’t touring the country with her band, The Boneshakers, who will make a stop on Friday night at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center.

“We love to be on the road, we love to be in front of people, that’s our happy place,” Abair said. “We love making records, but it’s our perfect scenario to be in front of people making music and them into it with us, making people a part of the show. That’s where we get our energy. I grew up on the road with my dad’s band; that was my normal, so it makes sense to me. I love it.”

Every day when she came home from school, Abair never

We’re On the Road to Nowhere ‘Home’ is a satirical look at satisfying the appetites of the vain

BY MICHELLE TRAURING

L

ast month, Hudson Yards officially opened its gates, drawing out thousands of people — including host Anderson Cooper, various politicians and even Sesame Street’s Big Bird — to gawk at the first stage of the $25-billion project, one 12 years in the making and not yet complete.

When finished, the 28-acre complex co-developed by Related Companies and Oxford — home to towering office buildings, eight-figure apartments, a 720,000-squarefoot shopping mall, an arts center and an assortment of celebrity chef-run restaurants — will not only be larger than the United Nations, but also exceed the footprint in size, population and investment than any other private development nationwide.

And in nearly 5,800 words, New York magazine writer Justin Davidson notoriously ripped Hudson Yards, and Related Companies chairman Stephen Ross, down and apart.

“There are not many opportunities to erect such a grotesque monument to a rich man’s vanity,” he writes in

the article, “I Have a Feeling We’re Not in New York Anymore.”

At the heart of Hudson Yards is Thomas Heatherwick’s climbable sculpture, known as “New York’s Staircase” or “Vessel,” designed to be the development’s signature piece of public art — and the centerpiece of its 5-acre public park. The beehive-like, copper-clad work stretches 150 feet tall, weaving 2,500 steps throughout its structure.

“The Vessel embodies the aesthetic of hucksterism: It’s a staircase that takes you nowhere, clad in fake copper that never gets old, taking over a public space that’s actually private,” Davidson writes.

That line jumped off the page in Sandy Perlbinder’s hands — considering her satirical short film, “Home,” which follows a tyrannical starchitect who imposes his absurd vision on an unsuspecting couple building their first home, she explores a similar concept.

Except she filmed “Home” 30 years ago.

“It’s the staircase that goes nowhere!” she said with a laugh during a recent telephone interview. “He describes

Revisiting Country’s Outlaws

s the 1970s dawned in Nashville, the corridors of country music power felt their hold start to weaken — shaken by a new kind of music called “outlaw country,” and a new kind of singer who sang it.

Names like Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson roared to the tops of the charts with a back-to-basics country that shunned the “countrypolitan” style known as the “Nashville Sound.”

Revisiting and continuing that momentum is musical theater veteran Gayden Wren, who will perform “Tennessee Walt’s Riding with the Outlaws,” a new show that will look at the Outlaw Country movement with a fresh eye on Saturday, April 6, at 1 p.m. at the East Hampton Library, located at 159 Main Street.

“People don’t think of the Hamptons as a country area,” the singer said, “but I’ve played shows in Florida, Michigan, Tennessee and Texas, not to mention all over Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester, and I’ve rarely found an audience more knowledgeable, curious and interested in learning new things.”

Admission is free. For more information, call (631) 324-0222 or visit easthamptonlibrary.org.

Inside Screenwiter’s Lab A weekend of learning to write for film

O

n Friday, three emerging screenwriters — Barbara Cigarroa, Sontenish Myers and Kirsten Tan — will plant themselves on the East End for a weekend of private, one-on-one mentoring sessions with established directors, producers and fellow screenwriters.

But on Saturday night, the public will get to peek inside the 19th annual Screenwriters Lab, hosted by the Hamptons International Film Festival, during an open Master Class with Jim Taylor and Tamara Jenkins starting at 6 p.m. at The Ross School, located at 18 Goodfriend Drive in East Hampton.

And if that’s not enough, the festival will present a special screening of “Terms of Endearment,” followed by a talkback with Alec Baldwin and David Nugent, on Friday, April 5, at 6 p.m. at Bay Street Theater, located at 1 Bay Street in Sag Harbor.

Tickets to the master class and screening are $25 each. For more information, visit hamptonsfilmfest.org.

A Cry for Help

T

he John Jermain Memorial Library is already showing a collection of work by Dan Rizzie — but on Sunday, April 14, the artist is dropping by to talk about it.

After a reception from 1:30 to 3 p.m., Rizzie will discuss his artistic process and the many influences behind his work, including his new book, “Bird on a Blade,” a recent collaboration with singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash. A book signing will follow.

“Artist and printmaker Dan Rizzie’s strong modernist graphic imagery draws upon various influences both past and present, often using several techniques for a single print,” a release said, adding, “His unique iconography, using birds and botanical images, is set against rich backgrounds that often belie its deeper meaning.”

The exhibit will remain on view through April 30 at the Sag Harbor library, located at 201 Main Street. For more information, call (631) 725-0049 or visit johnjermain.org.

East End Seaport Museum seekes memories

Tennessee Walt

he East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation is planning an exhibition of photos and memorabilia from the 1950s and ’60s — but they cannot pull it together without a community assist.

“We want to document, with your help, how we were formed, nurtured and insulated by the water around us,” a press release said.

“You remember that beach party, that fishing trip, your father’s boat, your first sailboat, or the one that didn’t get away. Not to mention storms, ice and other adventures because you were there!”

The museum is requesting East End photos and memorabilia, and not much is off limits.

“Bring that old pair of water skis, that fishing box your father kept, that pole you caught that big bass on, or that brochure from your business, pictures of the fleet,” the release said.

“You have memories and the stuff — share it with your community! All will be credited, identified and returned.

“These times were rich in memories,” the release adds, “and no truer picture can be formed without you.”

Drop off all memorabilia at the Seaport Museum, located at 103 Third Street in Greenport, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and by appointment.

For more information, email director@eastendseaport.org or visit eastendseaport.com.

it just like the client in my movie describes the staircase in his house. It never does change, the things that are pushed down our throats, or things that we think we want, and then we either hate them or we learn to live with them, and love them and respect them.”

Building on its circuit at the Sundance Film Festival and around the European festivals, the circa-1989 short will expand its audience on Friday night when it screens at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, followed by a discussion between Ms. Perlbinder, architecture critic Paul Goldberger, psychoanalyst Robby Stein and architect James Merrell.

“It’s funny that the film is 30 years old, but it relates to so much. It’s not out-of-date in any way, because it’s not really about architecture,” Mer-

“It’s funny that the film is 30 years old, but it relates to so much. It’s not out-of-date in any way, because it’s not really about architecture.”

rell said. “It’s about the relationship between the architect and the client, and all the complexities of art and commodity. I’m coming in from the perspective of an architect, but also as a student of the architect who was the inspiration of the film. It’s overtly about larger issues, but triggered by this particular architect 30 years ago.”

The genesis of the film was yet another New York magazine article, and this time the subject was architect Peter Eisenman, best known for designing Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial, but also a writer, teacher and deconstructivist, though he famously shuns the label.

Much of his work is a continued attempt to liberate form from all meaning — a notion that is difficult to accept, and filmmaking gold for Perlbinder, she said.

“The article was a story about Peter Eisenman’s life up until then, and I was looking for something that was like a shaggy-dog story with an ironic

ending — you set up the whole thing and then the ending is an irony. And this particular real-life story presented itself,” she said. “All the dialogue that is in the film is straight quotes from him. He talks like this and it sounds so ridiculous, and if you think about it, so does deconstructivism. The article was perfect.”

With the help of writer Bruce PERLBINDER Feirstein and his wife, Madeline Warren, they put together a screenplay and a cast, led by John Glover, and shot the movie on 35-millimeter film in one week.

“The architect in the film, he’s a composite of difGOLDBERGER ferent architects I experienced in my life, from Howard Roark in ‘The Fountainhead’ to Norman Jaffe, and I dressed him to look more like Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s the architect as archetype,” Perlbinder MERRELL explained.

“My daughter had gone to architecture school and she interned in Peter Eisenman’s office,” she continued. “So I would also get all these stories about what goes on, so this was all my colSTEIN lective conscious.

And I know Peter Eisenman saw it, and he didn’t fire my daughter or anything. Maybe he liked it.”

The satirical short film “Home,” by Sandy Perlbinder, will screen on Friday, April 5, at 6 p.m. at the Parrish Art Museum, located at 279 Montauk Highway in Water Mill. A panel with Ms. Perlbinder, architecture critic Paul Goldberger, architect James Merrell and psychoanalyst Robby Stein, moderated

by Parrish Director Terrie Sultan, will follow.

Admission is $12, or free for members, children and students. For more information, call (631) 283-2118 or visit parrishart.org.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD Paige Patterson

No Place in the Garden for Contempt

R

why should you.” I wanted to stand up and cheer. I’ve helped create a ridiculous number of green and white landscapes for people who don’t want to “make mistakes,” far too many gardens where the only flowers allowed are lavender or blue, and tons of “tasteful plantings.” What I want to know is how do we discern what’s “good” from what’s “bad”? And why should we care? If someone wants to combine every color under the rainbow, they absolutely should. If what you think looks cool is a combination of red, white and blue, go for it. I combine pale yellow, hot pink and tangerine orange. I like bloody blue reds with pure bubble gum pinks, and plant chartreuse with everything.

None of us are wrong. The only one who’s wrong is the person who’s decided that there’s a judgment to be made.

I’m not saying that there are no rules in gardening, there certainly are; but only if you want to achieve a specific look. Why should anyone be allowed to say that what you like, what you find exciting or peaceful or attractive, is any better or worse than someone else’s choices? Sure I try and encourage people to not just add plants one at a time, polka dotting their property with hundreds of different species and cultivars, but that’s because they’ve told me they want their garden to flow in a certain way. Buying plants with a “one of this and two of that” method will not give them the experience they’re

ecently I went to two garden lectures. At the first the message was one of inclusiveness and camaraderie, of mutual experiences and like-mindedness. It was a conversation between simpatico souls based on sharing knowledge, successes, failures and laughter. At the other, a large chunk of the time was spent decrying the similarity of current styles, “thanks to the internet,” and judging other peoples’ passions, pleasures and planting choices. It was a talk filled with decrees that decried taste and/or the lack of it. It knocked Instagram for its commonality and pooh-poohed the “ordinary” to impress upon us the superiority of the unusual. And it left us all feeling as if we were, to the speaker, if not slightly dirty, then considerably beneath them.

I’ve run into this before, the disdain some feel towards what they perceive as being not as interesting, attractive, sophisticated (you choose the word) as what they’ve determined meets those criteria.

This makes me sad. Not just because condescension is boring, but because the joys of the garden are something precious, something we all can share. At the first talk the speaker said something along the lines of, “don’t let anyone tell you what colors go together, nature doesn’t care, so Follow PAIGE PATTERSON at @wildgardenstyle and see that she, too, sometimes likes sherbet tones.

after. And if they’re plant collectors chasing after their own personal holy grail, who am I to tell them they need to plant it “en masse”? You’re crazy about gladiolas? Fantastic, plant swaths of them. The English look down upon hydrangeas as being common, while Americans almost worship them, both for the same properties — big, billowing, bombastic flowers that last almost all season long. On one continent it’s a desirable trait, on the other it’s declasse.

I remember when dahlias were frowned upon, the flower of those who didn’t know better, and now the blooms are celebrated, embraced and adored. Even carnations have had a renaissance. And I say outstanding! I don’t care what flower you get excited by, just the fact that you are pumped

up about one fills my heart. Collect African violets or rare snowdrops.

Grow snapdragons or Japanese hepaticas. All I care about is that you’ve been bitten by the gardening bug.

Rubber plants used to be considered suitable only for dentist offices, yet now they’re popping up all over pages of the most stylish shelter magazines.

I get uncomfortable when people start talking about good taste. The assumption is, that much like pornography, you’ll know it when you see it. I feel differently. There are gardens I respond to the same way I do with specific artist’s work. I love Bonnard, but Renoir leaves me cold.

I’m big into Louise Bourgeoise, Louise Nevelson not so much. Does this make one “better” than the other?

Not in the least. It’s just what appeals to me. You can tell me that a Jackson Pollock is better, more important and worth tons more than a Joan Mitchell but I’d snatch up her work over his every time.

There’s a billion ways people use the ideas of taste, style and fashion to make others insecure. The entire fashion industry is built on one group of people telling the rest of us what’s “good” and what should be hidden in the back of the closet each season. I’m here to say there’s no room for that sort of dictatorial spirit in gardening, to tell you we want no part of it. One of the best parts of gardening is the desire of us gardeners to share. To tell people which plants

excite us and why, to dig a snippet out of our gardens to gift to a friend, or a plant’s newest fan. We like to teach each other, to explain why we use lime on vegetable plots, and our favorite methods for battling slugs.

We like to commiserate and celebrate together. I’m not saying we’re all linking arms and singing Kumbaya, some of us are actually pretty seriously antisocial; but there’s no room for contempt if you’re both elbow-deep in the weeds, literally, trying to determine what’s a rare self-seeded baby from an invasive weedling.

Condescension and gardening don’t want to go hand in hand. It’s not who we aspire to be. We might not want to live surrounded by the garden you’ve created, but we don’t need to be derisive towards yours to justify our decision to go a different way. You might think that seeing floral arrangements featuring dahlias and ranunculus in ice cream colors everywhere you look on Instagram is a bad thing, but I’d like to point out that, thanks to social media, Flower Farmers are being feted for their celebrity in ways recently reserved only for rock/movie stars and chefs.

Houseplants are a huge Millennial obsession. Both cutting and vegetable gardens are deemed as tres, tres chic.

Please just tell me how, if you have any passion for things that grow, you could possibly see all this as being anything other than a good thing?

Saxophonist Mindi Abair is not to be denied

continued from page B1 knew what she would find — drums set up in the living room, cables running across the floor, a singer rehearsing in her bedroom closet. The house was a wellspring of music, she said, between her father, Lance Abair, who played saxophone and keyboard in his band, The Entertainers, and her grandmother, opera singer Virginia Rice, a fan of Italian arias who let it show.

“I totally wanted to sing like Tina Turner or Ann Wilson from Heart, and I couldn’t,” Abair said. “But with the saxophone, it’s like a human voice. It becomes an extension of you and it just became an extension of who I was. It made me bigger and it made me be able to express things differently than I could in just my own voice. And I loved that. It became a part of me, and I still, to this day, feel like it’s just an extension of my voice.”

The natural-born front-woman leads with that voice, backed by her band of Boneshakers: Rodney Lee on keys, Ben White on bass and vocals, Third Richardson on drums and vo-

cals, and Randy Jacobs on guitar and vocals.

“When I first moved to Los Angeles, I landed in a rock band and Randy Jacobs was the guitarist,” she recalled.

“On that first night, I’m standing on stage and it’s all new, and he’s mid guitar solo and he did a back flip into the audience — still playing — and landed on his feet and kept playing.

And I was just like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to be friends with that guy.’ He started his band, The Boneshakers, right after that.”

Their bands intermingled for a number of years before joining forces in 2015 for their first album, “The EastWest Sessions,” and have consistently toured together ever since.

“It’s awesome to be the only girl in a band. It’s completely awesome. You learn a lot, I’ll say that,” Abair said. “Every woman should be on a tour bus for at least a month out of her life, and the stuff that we all learn is amazing. But you know, the guys are my big brothers, too. We’re all in it together and they’ve very protective of me, and we’re all incredibly respectful of each other.

“I think if you surround yourself

with greatness, you rise to the occasion,” she continued. “And I’ve always taken the stance that you should have players in your band that are better than you, because it makes you better.

And these guys are better than me, they’re incredible, and every night we just have fun playing off each other and there’s an incredible strength to being on stage with them.”

But during meet-and-greets after their shows, there is almost always one well-intentioned fan who feels the need to say to Abair, “Hey, you’re pretty good for a girl. Wow.” And so, she wrote a song about it — “Pretty Good for a Girl,” which appeared on “The EastWest Sessions”— and it is now one of her favorite songs to perform.

“I think every woman has heard that at some point. It’s universal for all of us and it makes us laugh and it makes us proud — like, ‘Yeah, I’m pretty good for a girl, that’s right I am,’” she said. “You take something that might be construed as a weakness and you make it a strength, and it’s fun.

It’s good to be out there, hopefully empowering the next generation, or

at least for those of us who have gone through it for a while, you’ve just got to sit back and laugh at it.”

A few days earlier, Abair was cleaning out a filing cabinet and stumbled across her college admissions essay to the University of Miami, outlining her future goals as a musician: to write her own music, to start a band and, in between, fix up an old house.

And that is exactly the life she is living now — complete with a circa-1916 Craftsman in Hollywood. “I’ll get dirty and paint and sand and do all kinds of crazy stuff to my house, and then I’ll go make music,” she said. “I think I knew when I was 17 years old, I had it in my mind. And it worked out.”

After her unfortunate meeting at the University of Miami, she transferred to Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she received a scholarship because she was a woman.

“It wasn’t because I was a great player, that’s for sure. I was green as they come,” she admitted. “But I was one of the three percent of women at that school.”

They celebrated her, she said, and encouraged her to play the music she

but they do listen,” Walsh said. “And then the ending is just totally opposite of the beginning.”

As fate would have it, Walsh once directed a production of “12 Angry Men,” except she could only use women, as it was staged at Convent of the Sacred Heart, New York City’s oldest independent school for girls. And it was more than 30 years ago — a progressive move considerably ahead of its time.

“It was absolutely fascinating. They were like sponges,” Walsh said of her former students. “It’s such a fascinating story. All these years later, when I heard the idea, I thought, ‘This is great.’ And I can’t wait to be a part of this initiative.”

A reading of “‘12 Angry Men’ performed by 12 Impassioned Women” will be held on Sunday, April 7, at 2 p.m. at Bay Street Theater, located at 1 Bay Street in Sag Harbor, as part of the national movement, “12,000 Voices,” and in support of The National Voter Registration Initiative.

loved, which was not jazz. It was the soul, funk and rock ’n’ roll that inspired her father. And through that music, and the support of her teachers, she found herself.

“I ended up in the right place, probably not for the right reasons,” she said. “And since then, I have gone back to see that old saxophone professor. And he did say, ‘You know, I should have let you in.’ Amazing, right?”

She laughed lightheartedly.

“It’s fun to see the world change, and to be a very small part of it.

Hopefully, in the future, no one will go through the same kind of thing that I went through there,” she said.

Following the closing arguments of a first-degree murder trial, “12 Angry Men” begins with the deliberations among an average jury, where 11 of the men, who want to convict the 18-year-old defendant of stabbing his father — which would result in an automatic death sentence — are poised against one, who believes the man is innocent.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

For Women Entrepreneurs

Douglas Elliman Welcomes Joseph Piccininni

Joseph Piccininni is the newest face in Douglas Elliman’s Sag Harbor office.

“The successful young agent, who comes to us from Caldwell Banker, is a real go-getter,” according to a press release. “Prior to coming to Elliman, he earned his former brokerage’s 30 under 30 Award in 2017 and was chosen as one of the Top 20 Under 40 Rising Stars in Real Estate by the Long Island Board of Realtors in 2016.”

A Stony Brook University graduate, Piccininni is a profe s sion a l - g rade trumpet player, who leads a section of the Stony Brook University Wind Ensemble to this day, and helped found the university’s CoJ. PICCININNI median’s Guild.

“When he’s not playing trumpet, telling jokes and providing top-level real estate guidance, Joe likes to go to concerts, watch classic film noir, play Ultimate Frisbee and take his clients out to dinner,” the release said.

He currently serves as a director for the New York State Association of Realtors, Secretary for the Long Island Board of Realtors Young Professionals Network, and was previously Secretary of LIBOR’s Hamptons Chapter.

Meadows Antique Show Changes Hands, and Name, to Black Swan

Meadows Antique Show has a new name — and, for the first time in its history, new owners.

Taking over the Brimfield, Massachusetts market are Sag Harbor-based Randy Kolhoff of Black Swan Antiques and his partner, New York entrepreneur and investor Scott Mesnick, both longtime vendors and shoppers at the popular antiques show —

Kazdin Pools Raises Thousands for Stony Brook Southampton Hospital

Kazdin Pools and Spas has committed $100 for every new opened account to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital’s Audrey and Martin Gruss Heart & Stroke Center — an initiative that began in 2013 and, last year, brought the six-year total donation to $19,400.

George Kazdin, a Stony Brook Southampton Hospital Association board member and owner of Kazdin Pools and Spas, presented a check with Julie Kazdin Boucher, vice president and general manager, and Brian Boucher, service and sales director, to Robert Chaloner, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital chief administrative officer, and Steven Bernstein, Southampton Hospital Foundation president.

For more information, visit kazdin.com. which they have renamed Black Swan Meadows, kicking off May 14 at 8 a.m.

“We both love the Brimfield market and want to share this unique experience with as many enthusiasts as possible,” according to a press release.

With a modern vision for the dynamic market — which includes a custom shipping company, a general store and taco cantina, live daily auctions, free Wi-Fi, and phone charging and water refill stations — the new Black Swan Meadows will involve a “more accessible and defined experience for first-time buyers, as well as creating logistical bridges to professional designers and storeowners.”

“Using modern apps like Brimfield Flea Finder, Instagram and direct marketing incentives to storeowners and designers, we feel we can expand

on the popularity of Brimfield and help to give an inside guide to buying and selling at the Brimfield Antique Market,” the release said.

In 1959, Brimfield local auctioneer Gordon Reid decided to establish an open-air auction, which he named Gordon Reid’s Famous Antique Show. It would soon become the world-famous Brimfield Antique Market, the largest of its kind in the country.

For the last six decades, dealers, collectors and designers have flocked to the 7-acre field for its three annual markets in May, July and September, drawing more than 125,000 people seeking furniture, vintage clothing and treasures from the past.

leanor Roosevelt shaped the role of First Lady through political, racial, and social justice activism. Betty Friedan evoked a second wave of American feminism when she authored “The Feminine Mystique.” Shirley Chisholm made history as the first African American woman in Congress. Gloria Steinem was a leader in the 1960s and 70s feminist movement.

Supreme Court Justice turned pop culture icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg fights against gender discrimination. Michelle Obama was the first African American First Lady and became a role model for all Americans.

These six women forged a path for other women, and are the inspiration behind the desks of The SHED’s new permanent workspace in Sag Harbor opening this week.

“These six women we thought of were on the spectrum from early feminists to modern women that inspire us,” says The SHED co-founder Amanda Millner-Fairbanks of the workspace’s new desks. “We’re paying homage to the fact that without these women there wouldn’t be a women’s only coworking space. It represents that importance of coming together in the community.”

Bronze placards on each of these desks is not the only thing new for The SHED. After six months of running a successful pop-up at Estia’s Little Kitchen on Tuesdays, Fairbanks and fellow co-founders Sarah Cohen and Liza Tremblay found the community workspace in Sag Harbor was growing. It was an experiment fostered by Chef Colin Ambrose as he provided the space to test the concept.

Recounting his joy in lending a hand, Ambrose wishes the women well as their venture expands. “As the weeks and months passed more and more women stopped in to visit, kabitz and settle in to work,” he recalls. “In short time, I watched the room fill, and their concept went from idea to practice before my eyes.”

The new space, located in a cottage owned

by Vital Habitats, Inc. is a somewhat serendipitous location as that landscape and architecture firm is also run by women. Members can reserve desk space for a few hours or an entire day, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Costs range for $25 for a daily drop-in to $200 full time. The coffee

ason Weiner knows how to shop.

From June to October, 90 percent of all his produce is sourced from within a 7-mile radius of his restaurant, Almond in Bridgehampton — from corn, toma- toes, leeks and herbs to baby artichokes, microgreens, berries and beets.

By the end of September, when tomato season is winding down, he purchases about 400 pounds from Pike’s Farm and cans them in halfgallon mason jars to preserve them through the winter. And when Kirby cukes are at their peak, Weiner buys 100 pounds for “bread and butter” pickles, served on his burgers for the rest of the year.

But on the East End, there is one resource that is always year-round: seafood, the star of his guest dinner at The James Beard House, “Smart Catch: Spring Seafood Splash,” a collaboration with several Long Island fishermen on Wednesday, April 10, at 7 p.m. at the New York restaurant, located at 167 West 12th Street.

Hors d’oeuvres will include Fried Long Island Oysters with yellow sriracha mayo; Long Island Porgy Tartare with cured Amber Waves duck yolks; Smoked Long Island Monkfish Pate with Mecox Bay yogurt; and Deviled Quail Hill Farm Eggs with Jeremy’s swordfish bacon.

For dinner, the menu features Lobster Raviolo with springtime minestrone, Goodwater micro basil and Castelvetrano olives; Gulf Shrimp Toast with house smoked bacon, Bridgehampton arugula and Long Island fluke crudo; Octopus & Kimchi Taco with 14-month black bean miso, Sagaponack radishes and Roosevelt Avenue tortillas; and Skuna Bay Salmon Yakatori with grilled upstate ramps, sticky Amber Waves wheatberries and soy cured Overlook Farms sunchokes — rounded out by a Cherry Ice Cream Sandwich with pistachio shortbread, hot chocolate and Amarena cherries.

Tickets are $180 and $140 for Beard House members. For more information, call (212) 627-2308 or visit jamesbeard.org.
