t was small-town America at its sparklingly sunny best on Monday morning when appreciative spectators of every size, shape, color and age gathered along Main Street from Otter Pond to the east foot of the Lance Corporal Jordan C. Haerter Veterans Memorial Bridge to watch Sag Harbor’s annual Memorial Day Parade. The annual pro-

cession featured veterans from Sag Harbor’s American Legion and VFW posts, members of the Sag Harbor fire Department, local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and the Pierson High School band.

Starting at the World War I monument at Otter Pond, where Phoebe Miller read the poem, “In Flanders Field,” flowers were placed by the VFW and American Legion, taps was played and three volleys were fired

by a veteran rifle squad, the parade marched — to the solemn rhythm of a single drum played by Brad Beyer — past scattered clusters of families on their front lawns, porches and sidewalks before reaching the tighterpacked crowds lining the business district.

Wreaths were laid, taps played and three volleys fired at each of next three stops,

Sign Shines Once Again T

wo years, five months and nine days after a windblown fire gutted the Sag Harbor Cinema on an icy mid-December day in 2016, its beloved “SAG HARBOR” neon sign — salvaged from the wreckage and restored free of charge by local craftsmen — lit up the newly reconstructed stucco façade of the future Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center at about 8:20 p.m. on Saturday evening above a cheering throng on Main Street.

After all those days of darkness at the vacant space where the art deco emblem of the theatre had blazed for decades, the

newly illuminated sign looked just like its good-old self, instantly back at home.

The crowd began gathering before 7:30 p.m., gradually filling up central Main Street.

Growing impatient with the event’s speakers, some began chanting “Light it up! Light it up!” at about 8:15 p.m. By then, the speakers were winding up their remarks.

The speakers were April Gornik, who emceed the event on behalf of the non-profit Sag Harbor Partnership, the cinema project’s sponsor; Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr.; Southampton Town Councilman

The Shinnecock Indian Nation says it will ignore a temporary restraining order granted on May 24 by a State Supreme Court justice to halt the construction and operation of two 20-by-30-foot electronic billboards mounted 61 feet over the right-of-way on each side of Sunrise Highway in Hampton Bays.

The state Department of Transportation, which says that the signs violate federal and state highway regulations, went to court to seek the order after the Shinnecock tribal council ignored a DOT cease-and-desist letter that was sent on May 17. The tribe says the signs are on sovereign Indian territory that is exempt from state and local regulations.

In a press release on Tuesday, the Shinnecock Council of Trustees acknowledged that a temporary restraining order had been issued but declared the tribe was immune from “any legal proceeding brought against them and the Shinnecock Nation by the State of New York.”

DOT spokesman Glenn Blain commented on Tuesday, “The state will continue to pursue whatever actions are necessary to fulfill its obligation to uphold state and federal law.”

Tribal council members could be found in contempt of court if the tribe ignores the order, with arrest and incarceration as possible consequences.

The tribe activated one of the two 61-foot-high video signs last Thursday and about 100 of its mem-

A preliminary application by Village Backstreet Realty, LLC at 51 Division Street for a change of use to turn a garage and single-family home into office spaces raised red flags on Tuesday for some members of the Sag Harbor Village Planning Board, who noted the property is already home to a number of uses and has limited parking.

Board chairperson Kay Lawson and Planning Board attorney Denise Schoen said that it may be time to suggest to the Sag Harbor Village Board of Trustees that it look at changes to its zoning code to limit the number of uses on any one property and, given the development pressure in Sag Harbor Village, perhaps consider a comprehensive plan update.

The board opened its work session on Tuesday with a discussion about 51 Division Street, a property that currently hosts a two-story, single-family residence and a commercial building holding a number of different storefronts including The UPS Store, Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee, the Sag Harbor Baking Company and Taylor Rose Berry’s newest store, Berry & Co. The property also has a 590-square-foot garage at the rear of the property, facing Rector Street. The preliminary application to the Planning Board asked for a change of use for the existing residence and the existing garage into office space. The property is located in the village’s office district and is situated on a quarter of an acre.

Sign shines again continued from page 1 Tommy John Schiavoni, and Mayor Sandra Schroeder.

“Okay, are you ready?” asked Ms. Gornik. As the crowd yelled “Yes!” in unison, Ms. Gornik said, “I want you to count down with me from 10.

Ready? Ten, nine, eight …”

When the count reached one and the sign burst with neon light, the dusk sky filled with cheers and whistles and applause.

Assemblyman Thiele, who helped the Partnership win $1.4 million for the cinema arts center in state funding, grew up in Sag Harbor and choked back tears as he spoke about what it meant to him.

“For me it was 35-cent tickets for a double feature on a Saturday … It was also a first date when you were in high school. And my wife makes fun of me all the time because I still do this today … I take a ride through Main Street to make sure everything is still there.

“This last year and a half, to ride through Main Street and not see this theatre here and not see this sign: it’s a hard thing to deal with for those of us who love this village.”

In her introductory remarks, Ms. Gornik said, “It has really taken a village to make this moment possible,” and went on to cite the organizations and people “who have made extraordinary contributions to bring back our beloved cinema sign.”

She first thanked “our first responders,” who fought the December 16, 2016 blaze that ruined the cinema and two other buildings. She went on to thank Mayor Schroeder and other village officials “who made sure the sign could be saved” as the theater’s façade was demolished the day after the fire.

She thanked “the people who brought the sign back from its darkest hour,” Chris Denon of Twin Forks Moving and Storage, “our archangel;” metal craftsmen John Battle and Franklin Paucar, Mr. Battle’s assistant; and neon artist Clayton Orehak. She also thanked the all-volunteer board of the Sag Harbor Partnership; the Sag Harbor Cinema Advisory Board; project architect Allen Kopelson; and ConRac construction “and our amazing construction committee.”

She went on to thank “everyone who donated, from the big help from Eric Fischl,” her husband, who donated $1 million, “and Billy Joel and Dorothy Lichtenstein,” to the Pierson Class of 2017, which turned over its fundraising for the year to the cinema

project and “the little girl who gave us 35 cents at HarborFest last September.

Ms. Gornik finally thanked Mr. Thiele, County Executive Steve Bellone and County Legislator Bridget Fleming as well as Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman and the town government, which “gave us the easement” payment through the town’s Community Preservation Fund “that put us over the top last year” to secure enough funds to begin construction.

“We are not done building. This is important. I know the sign is here, I know it’s going to light up,” Ms. Gornik said. “We’re all very happy but please keep your support coming so we can open this fall.”

To make a donation, go to sagharborcinema.org, she said.

An additional $3 to $4 million in funding is needed before the cinema will be fully functional, she has said.

The final round of fundraising will pay for the expansion of the new third floor, seats for all three theater auditoriums, film and sound equipment, restoration of historic fixtures, café and concession equipment and supplies, computer equipment and salaries.

“This sign that we are going to illuminate tonight has stood as an icon for the East End and you know, like many of you, it’s this backdrop to my life and our parents’ lives,” said Councilman Schiavoni, and the lives of “countless residents and visitors here on the South Fork and especially Sag Harbor.”

“We cannot underestimate the effort of our first responders,” he added, “the Sag Harbor Fire Department, along with 18 other departments that rendered mutual aid and battled the fire in 14-degree weather and 20-mph sustained winds and they stopped that fire right there. It was a good stop and they saved the village again.”

Mayor Schroeder’s comments were mostly inaudible above the rising murmur of the restless crowd. Thanking several officials “for getting this done,” she said it was “a great thing for Sag Harbor.”

The sign that once again presides over Main Street is a duplicate that was made 15 years ago after thentheater owner Gerry Mallow created an uproar by removing the original in 2004 to make way for a new, modern version he had ordered. Led by filmmaker Brenda Siemer, a group of opponents secured the sign but later agreed it was not salvageable. They negotiated an agreement with Mr. Mallow to allow them to install a duplicate if they raised the money to pay for it.

At top, about 500 people crowded Main Street Saturday night to watch the re-lighting of the Sag Harbor Cinema sign; above left, the crowd milled about following the lighting; above right michael heller photo State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., a Sag Harbor native, recalled his youthful memories of the theater and sign and their importance to the village.

Runoff Project To Get Funding Lost to Error

Propose Parking Changes

Mistake delayed 2019 water quality proposal

BY PETER BOODY

The Southampton Town Board seemed ready on Tuesday to correct a $22,000 funding error made late last year when it awarded the Village of Sag Harbor $264,000 in Community Preservation Funds for a water quality improvement project proposed by the village’s Harbor Committee and Board of Trustees.

The plan calls for drainage retrofits, drywells, rain gardens, tree trenches and leaching systems at seven locations around the village to reduce the volume of polluted storm water runoff that reaches the bay system and local surface waters.

There was a simple addition error in the estimated price tag last year when Sag Harbor submitted its proposal to the town, Assistant Town Planning Director Janice Scherer told the Town Board. She said on Tuesday that “they missed it and we missed it.” The proposal was back before the board for the shortfall, bringing its total cost to $286,000.

Last year, the town awarded about $3.5 million in CPF funding for water quality improvement projects across the town. At a public hearing on the first round of CPF water quality funding for 2019, four proposals were presented, including the one for Sag Harbor Village.

The others were a carp removal and control plan for Mill Pond in Water Mill proposed by the Mill Pond Association; a Southampton Village plan to install dry wells in the drainage infrastructure near the train station to reduce runoff reaching Lake Agawam; and a Southampton Town Trustees plan to acquire more water quality sensors for Mecox Bay as a part of a system it is developing to help officials decide when to open the “cut” from the bay to the ocean to improve water quality and reduce flooding.

No one spoke in opposition to any of the proposals and board members appeared set to grant a total of $344,482 in funding. But when Councilman John Bouvier and other board members looked through their agendas, they found no resolution on which to vote. “It probably will be on at the next board meeting,” Mr. Bouvier told spectators in the audience eager to know their projects had been funded.

State of the Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman started off Tuesday’s meeting with a glowing State of the Town report, calling the “state of the town excellent.” He said its financial management practices and policies have gotten “the highest ratings and recognition from outside agencies.” He noted that there were no “reportable deficiencies” listed in the town’s most recent state audit and “not even any recommendations for improvement.”

The town has seen 80 affordable housing units built in five projects, most of them rentals, he said; and he noted it recently eased the lot-size requirement for adding an affordable accessory rental apartment to existing houses. He said two have already been approved and 12 are in the application process.

A “massive renovation” of the Ponquogue Beach pavilion in Hampton Bays was completed in time for Memorial Day weekend, the supervisor noted, and the town is restoring Tiana Life Saving Station — more recently Neptune’s nightclub — to become a museum.

Mr. Schneiderman hailed the replacement of all streetlighting in the town system with far more efficient, cheaper-to-operate LED fixtures; the town’s acquisition of the Hampton Bays Senior Center, which it has been leasing; and its acquisition from the county of the Shinnecock Commercial Fishing Dock.

The town’s efforts to improve water quality are having an impact, he said, including an absence of brown tide in Shinnecock Bay for the first time in 12 years last summer. “I think what we’re doing is working,” he said.

Also on Tuesday, among other actions, the Town Board: • Authorized an additional $4 million in funding in addition to the $5 million bond previously authorized to purchase and renovate the Hampton Bays Senior Center.

• Approved a neighborhood request to ban parking on both sides of Meadowlark Lane in Bridgehampton from Ocean Road to Surfside Drive and to add a stop sign on Meadowlark at Surfside Drive. Irving Shafran thanked the board and praised town engineer Christine Fetten and her staff for their help in developing the plan.

He Chased Nazis Investigator tells Chabad about his mission in the 1990s

BY ALISHA STEINDECKER

Since his shirts were already monogrammed with the letters “S” and “R,” Steven Rambam, a well-known New York-based private investigator, decided his undercover name would be Salvatore Romano.

At the Center for Jewish Life in Sag Harbor Village on Saturday morning, Mr. Rambam — a Brooklyn man with warm, blue eyes that contrast with his seemingly tough exterior — recounted his covert investigation into Nazi war criminals during the 1990s. In less than four months, he and his small team compiled a list of about 1,100 of them who, after the Holocaust, sought refuge in the west. They lived comfortably without prosecution — or even fear of it.

In the face of rising anti-Semitism in the United States and around the world, he told the small crowd at the

A plan to reduce the maximum parking time in eight Main Street spaces to give more drivers a better chance to find a spot in congested downtown Sag Harbor will be aired at a public hearing before the Village Board on Tuesday, June 11 at 6 p.m. in Village Hall Proposed by the board at its monthly meeting on May 14, the change in the village’s traffic code would limit parking to 30 minutes in eight spaces where two hours is the current limit. The limit will apply for the same period that has applied to the two-hour limit: Mondays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Sag Harbor Variety Store’s Lisa Field, president of the Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce, said this week the organization’s board of directors had called for the change in a recent letter to the Village Board.

She noted that shoppers often run into one or two stores to pick up a few things. “You don’t need the two-hour parking for that,” she said. Setting up some shorter-term spaces “will help the businesses that are in-and-out businesses … It will keep the flow of those businesses moving,” she said.

The proposed 30-minute spaces are clustered around the intersection of Washington Street on both the east and west sides of Main Street, not including two spaces currently reserved for handicapped drivers. Two are located just north and two are located just south of the intersection for a total of four spaces on each side of Main Street.

“Eight spots is a good compromise,” Ms. Field said, and they will provide “a good mix” of two-hour, three-hour and some longer term parking behind Main Street and two other outer lots in the business district.

If the Village Board approves the change after Tuesday’s required public hearing, it would take effect immediately after the new regulation is filed with New York’s secretary of state.

The Wharf Shop 69 Main Street, Sag Harbor

s acting chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, last week Mary Anne Carter approved more than $80 million in grants, as part of the agency’s second major funding announcement of fiscal year 2019.

And Bay Street Theater is among the recipients.

One of 1,592 Art Works applicants, the Sag Harbor theater has received a $10,000 grant for its “Literature Live!” program, which uses curriculum-based literature to create professional productions for local students, teachers and administrators.

“We couldn’t be more

pleased,” Tracy Mitchell, Bay Street Theater’s executive director, said in a statement. “Literature Live! is one of our key education programs, which, last year, reached over 3,500 students by offering free tickets to them, along with their teachers and administrators.

Many students have never seen live theater before, much less a professional production about a classic novel they read in school.”

Now in its 11th year, Literature Live! launched in 2009 with a production of “The Diary of Anne Frank” — and, ever since, has brought classic works of literature to life on

MAY 30, 2019

stage for school groups, families and the general public, for a one-month run.

The program has expanded to allow for teaching artists to work with students and teachers prior to seeing the show, should they wish. All students, teachers and administrators are admitted free of charge.

“These awards, reaching every corner of the United States, are a testament to the artistic richness and diversity in our country,” Ms. Carter said in a statement. “Organizations such as Bay Street Theater are giving people in their community the opportunity to learn, create and be inspired.”

Cody Zimmer, 30, of Rocky Point faces a handful of felony charges after being pulled over in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 25, in Wainscott after police said they observed him swerving over the double yellow lines on Montauk Highway near Daniels Hole Road.

Mr. Zimmer was charged with two felony counts of driving while intoxicated, elevated due to a prior conviction, and for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, also a felony, after police said they discovered two plastic bags containing cocaine — one in plain view, the other in the center console of his 2009 GMC. The total amount of drugs found, police said, were over a half gram in weight. Mr. Zimmer was released on $500 bail.

• Victor M. Borisov, 31, of East Hampton was arrested by Sag Harbor Village Police on Thursday, May 23, just after 4 a.m. and charged with two counts of DWI, a misdemeanor, and for allegedly speeding and making an unsafe lane change. According to police, they observed Mr. Borisov driving his tan Toyota Corolla on Hampton Street near Lighthouse Lane in Sag Harbor, speeding 50 miles per hour in a 35 mile-per-hour speed zone and failing to maintain his lane of travel, crossing over the solid white line on the side of the roadway. Police pulled over Mr. Borisov near the Sag Harbor Golf Club and said he appeared intoxicated. He was arrested and held at Sag Harbor Village Police Department headquarters until his arraignment later that morning when he was released on his own recognizance by Judge Lisa Rana.

• Richard Sackett, 63, of Yaphank was arrested by Southampton Town Police on May 20 at 12:20 a.m. on County Road 39 in Tuckahoe and charged with DWI, a misdemeanor, and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation. Police said he was originally stopped for multiple vehicle and traffic infractions and upon further investigation he was revealed to be intoxicated. He was transported to police headquarters in Hampton Bays and held for morning arraignment.

• Nicole Butera, 24, of Shirley was arrested by Southampton Town Police on May 20 at 1:34 a.m. on Sunrise Highway in Hampton Bays and charged with DWI, and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, both misdemeanors. Police said she was originally stopped for a defective side headlight and upon further investigation she was revealed to be intoxicated. She was transported to police headquarters in Hampton Bays and held for morning arraignment.

• A 56-year-old Brooklyn resident was charged with confinement of a companion animal, a violation, on Saturday, May 25. According to the

Sag Harbor Village Police Department, at 10:25 a.m. police observed a small, white dog inside a vehicle on Bay Street in Sag Harbor, sitting in direct sun with all the windows closed.

Police said the dog appeared to be in “a severe state of distress,” according to the arrest report, and was heavily panting and shaking. The windows of the vehicle, police said, were hot to the touch. Police were able to free the animal and released the vehicle’s owner when he returned to the car on an appearance ticket.

• A 30-year-old Riviera Beach, Florida resident was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana on Sunday, May 26, after Sag Harbor Village Police said he was found to be carrying a clear container with a leafy green substance identified as marijuana by both the defendant and police. Police said they discovered the substance after finding the defendant’s tan Jeep parked the wrong way on Nassau Street, a oneway street in Sag Harbor. He was issued a parking ticket and released on an appearance ticket.

• On Monday, May 27, a Walker Avenue resident contacted police to report she believed someone may have been squatting in her residence while it was empty between November 19, 2018, and May 25, 2019.

According to the police report, the resident returned to the home to discover a basement door ajar and inside the house a bottle of El Ron Prohibido rum and a carton of Tropicana orange juice had both been opened. The resident also reported water damage in the home, that she said resulted from someone turning on the upstairs water valves and causing them to burst, damaging floors, pipes and the ceiling in excess of $2,000. The woman said it also appeared her bedroom had been used, that $100 in makeup was missing and that several pictures had been removed from her walls. Police canvassed the area, interviewing neighbors, and an investigation is ongoing.

• One of Sag Harbor’s beloved downtown mallards was discovered dead on Hampton Street in Sag Harbor by an officer with the Sag Harbor Police Department on Tuesday, May 21.

• The owner of a brown poodle contacted police on Tuesday, May 21, just before 10 a.m. to report her dog had been injured by another dog at Havens Beach in Sag Harbor and ran away after the incident. The Sag Harbor resident, who sustained minor cuts breaking up the fight, was able to locate her poodle, who had a laceration behind its ear and was transported to a local animal hospital for care.

• On Wednesday, May 22, a Madison Street resident called Sag Harbor Village Police to report an ongoing dispute with a neighboring property owner who she says is contaminat-

ing her yard with pesticides. Police advised the woman to call the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

• An expletive-filled rant by a neighboring property owner prompted a Carver Street resident to call Sag Harbor Village Police on Thursday, May 23, around noon.

The Carver Street resident said she believed the rant was brought on by her objections to a building project several years ago.

• Two reports of leaving the scene of an accident were filed with Sag Harbor Village Police this week. On Saturday, May 25, the owner of a 2009 grey Audi reported her car was hit while it was parked on Long Island Avenue between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The same day, a Southampton resident reported her 2018 Nissan was struck while it was parked on Division Street between 1:52 and 2:03 p.m.

• Loud music brought police to a handful of residences in Sag Harbor on Saturday, May 25. A Harding Terrace resident called police at 4:55 a.m. to report loud music at a neighboring residence. The offending homeowner agreed to turn off the music. Around 7 p.m., a John Street resident reported loud music from a nearby residence. That homeowner also turned down music without incident. Police were called to the restaurant Dopo La Spiaggia on Bay Street by an anonymous caller complaining of loud music around 11:15 p.m. While police said the music was barely audible, the restaurant manager stopped playing the music immediately, they said.

• A silver Jamis mountain bike with blue and white lettering was reported stolen from the front yard of a Walker Avenue, Sag Harbor residence, on Saturday, May 25. The bike is valued at $800.

• An erratic motorist, who may have been involved in an accident, was reported to Sag Harbor Village Police on Monday, May 27, around 11:58 p.m. Police were able to track down the vehicle to a Glenwood Drive, Sagaponack address, discovering damage to the front of the car. Police interviewed several people staying at the home, all who denied driving the car or being in an accident.

• A 2018, 28-foot Grady White boat struck a 2012, 30-foot Colbalt while it was in the transient docks in Sag Harbor, damaging the swim platform, on Sunday, May 26. Police said the damage did not exceed $1,000 and no injuries were reported as a result of the crash.

• A teal, tear-dropped ring was reported missing — falling off either at the municipal bathrooms on Bay Street or on Azurest Beach, according to a report filed with village police on Monday, May 27. The woman reported wearing the ring in both areas on May 26, between 6 and 8 p.m.

Village Elections

Meet the Candidates

Express and Save Sag Harbor will host two candidates for mayor, four for trustee In less than three weeks, residents of Sag Harbor Village will choose between two candidates for mayor and select two of four candidates for seats on the board of trustees. With both races contested, the nonprofit Save Sag Harbor has teamed up with The Sag Harbor Express to host a Meet the Candidates forum at the John Jermain Memorial Library on Saturday, June 1, from 10 a.m. to noon.

“One of the most important things Save Sag Harbor does as an organization is to help keep the public informed on critical issues through our newsletter, panel discussions and events,” said Bob Weinstein, co-director of Save Sag Harbor. “The ‘Meet our Candidates,’ forum, which we have been co-sponsoring with The Express now for many years, is the perfect opportunity for members of the community to ask questions of the candidates in order to better understand their positions on issues. It’s important that we each know what we are voting for, and that we exercise our right to vote on Tuesday, June 18.”

Incumbent Mayor Sandra Schroeder is seeking her third term at the head of the Village Board running under the Residents Party banner. The former village clerk, village administrator and Village Board of Trustees member is running against political newcomer Kathleen Mulcahy, an 18-year resident of Sag Harbor and former marketing executive for Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay who now works as a real estate agent with Brown Harris Stevens. Ms. Mulcahy is running as a member of the Horizon Party.

Incumbent trustee Aidan Corish is seeking his second term on the Village Board under the “Sag Harbor United” party banner. A founding partner in the branding firm, Tangram, Mr. Cor-

ish has been a Sag Harbor resident since 1995. While Trustee Ken O’Donnell has opted not to seek another term on the board, Mr. Corish will have company on the trustee ballot line. Silas Marder, a landscape and furniture designer, is running for his first seat on the Village Board under the Harbor Alliance Party.

Robert Plumb, a member of the Sag Harbor Zoning Board of Appeals and president of Salt Construction Corp., is also seeking one of two seats up for election this year, running with the Red Dot Party. Jennifer Ponzini, a former Sag Harbor Zoning Board of Appeals member and licensed associate real estate broker with Compass, is also hoping to earn her first elected board seat in June, running under the Community Party banner.

In order to vote in village elections, residents must be registered with the Suffolk County Board of Elections by June 7. Residents have until June 11 to receive an absentee ballot to be mailed to them by the village clerk. The last day for the village clerk to receive personal applications for absentee ballots is June 17. All absentee ballots must be received by the clerk by Election Day on June 18.

The Saturday morning debate will be moderated by Sag Harbor Express editor and co-publisher Kathryn G. Menu.

Candidates will be afforded opening and closing statements. While there will be questions prepared in advance

by The Express editorial board and members of Save Sag Harbor, audience members will also have the opportunity to submit their own questions on notecards, although all questions must be answerable by all candidates in order to be asked. To submit question for consideration, email kmenu@sagharborexpress.com.

With the public comment period now closed on the application by Sand Land to expand sand mining operations at its Noyac facility, New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. and Senator Ken LaValle called on the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to hold a public hearing on the application before making any decisions.

“Virtually every elected official, civic organization, and member of the public affected by this application has made it clear that before any permit is issued, a public hearing must be held,” Mr. Thiele and Mr. LaValle said in a joint statement. “We urge the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to heed those requests and a schedule a public hearing before any final decision is made.

“The level of controversy, the intense public interest, the potential adverse consequences to water quality warrant a public hearing,” they continued. “In addition, the decision to reverse the determination to close the mine was done behind closed doors without even minimal public participation or transparency.”

Mr. Thiele and Mr. LaValle called the application a proposal that would illegally expand the existing sand mine, which is a pre-existing, non-conforming use in the Town of Southampton.

In 2018, the Suffolk County Health Department reported that groundwater at the mine had been contaminated by chemicals, radiation and heavy metals, including levels of iron and

manganese in concentrations higher than federal drinking water standards.

“It is irrefutable that the industrial activities conducted by the applicant on the subject property have contaminated one of the most sensitive groundwater resources on eastern Long Island,” said Mr. Thiele and Mr. LaValle. “The DEC must schedule a public hearing before making any decision.”

Town Calls on Agencies to Investigate Airport Flight Services The East Hampton Town Board, advised of plans by two aviation companies, BlackBird Air Inc., and Helicopter Flight Services, to commence commercial air services to and from East Hampton Airport, has submitted letters and a formal objection to both the Federal Aviation Administration and the United States Department of Transportation’s Consumer Protection Division raising questions about the companies’ compliance with aviation laws and their authority to operate services as proposed, it announced in a press release issued on Friday, May 24.

While the town owns and operates the airport, federal agencies have regulatory authority over flight and some ground operations at the airport in Wainscott, which keeps the town, on its own authority, from stopping companies from operating there.

BlackBird Air Inc. has announced that it will begin offering services,

Temporary sail in show is viewed as structure so needs zoning board approval to proceed

BY KATHRYN G. MENU

When artists Lisa Hein and Bob Seng visited Sag Harbor’s Christ Episcopal Church on Hampton Street, a vision for a site-specific piece of art, tying the village’s maritime history to a building built in 1883 and a congregation that has gathered in Sag Harbor for nearly 175 years, was born.

“When we visited the church, we noticed the steeple looked like a mast and we thought if we put a job on the front of the steeple, the rest of it would look like a mainsail,” explained Ms. Hein during a meeting of the Sag Harbor Village Historic Preservation and Architectural Review Board on Thursday, May 23.

“Jib Net,” a triangular, mesh net, was proposed to stretch from the bell tower to the colonnade roof at the entrance of the church on Hampton Street, a centerpiece to the art show, “Divine Intervention,” which will open this Saturday, June 1, and run through September 2 when “Jib Net”

would have been removed, according to Reverend Karen Campbell.

However, during Thursday’s meeting of the ARB, members of the board and its attorney, Elizabeth Vail, told Rev. Campbell, Ms. Hein and Mr. Seng that they would need to go back to village building inspector Tom Prieato for a determination on whether the board could even consider the application.

“This board is only allowed to approve things that comply with the zoning code,” said Ms. Vail.

Members of the ARB said they were not opposed to the aesthetic of the “Jib Net,” just that it had to go through Mr. Prieato first.

On Wednesday, Mr. Prieato said the sail would be subject to zoning and the code does not allow for temporary structures. An application would need to be made to the Sag Harbor Village Zoning Board of Appeals.

Rev. Campbell on Wednesday said “Jib Net” would be erected inside of the church for the time being. “I don’t know what we are going to do — we may have to apply for another

gathering place for those in need of companionship. Fifty percent of the sales from the show will support the construction of the Community Café at the church.

“Our desire is to hold a free dinner, served with dignity, restaurant style, once a week for the community,” says Rev. Campbell.

Rev. Campbell said the church was recently approved for a Community Development Block Grant from the Town of East Hampton for $20,000 to make its bathroom ADA accessible. The diocese has also granted the church $25,000 toward the completion of the café. Other gifts have found their way to the church, including an eight-burner Wolf stove that used to belong to B. Smith, which the longtime restauranteur first used to get her catering business off the ground.

“The Community Café has really been like the story of ‘Stone Soup’,” said Rev. Campbell. “Someone has thrown in a potato here, a carrot there and we welcome any more additions to the pot.”

In the meantime, she is looking forward to the weekend opening, which will bring more 30 artists from the East End and New York together for the first contemporary visual art project in the church’s sanctuary space. The show is curated by Teri Hackett, Rev. Campbell’s sister, and will include an installation by artists Bastienne Schmidt and Almond Zigmund in the church’s bell tower and vestibule. The church’s 1917 Tiffany window is flanked by artwork

by April Gornik, Carole Seborovski and Drew Shiflet, with many other artists’ pieces decorating the sanctuary space.

“Divine Intervention” is not just an art show — it is also a fundraiser for the church’s Community Café, an initiative dreamt up by Rev. Campbell that would serve both the hungry and the lonely by offering a meal for those facing food insecurity and a

CPF Revenues Down 24 Percent in 2019 Revenues collected by the five East End towns for the Peconic Bay Community Preservation Fund for the first four months of 2019 were $23.94 million, 24.2 percent lower than the first four months of 2018, when $31.6 million was collected to support the purchase of open space, historic and recreational properties and for water quality initiatives on the East End. According to Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., in April revenues totaled $7.4 million, the highest monthly total in 2019 so far.

Since its inception in 1999, the Peconic Bay Regional Community Preservation Fund has generated $1.406 billion. The 2-percent tax under the CPF expires in 2050.

“CPF revenues had declined for three consecutive months,” said Mr. Thiele. “April marked a return to revenues more in line with the last few years. However, local government officials should continue to closely monitor CPF revenues in the coming months and be cautious in making any long-term projections.”

including “prescheduled” services on light fixed-wing aircraft, to and from the East Hampton Airport. In its release, town officials questioned the possible safety or legal risks they said is associated with that company’s business model. According to BlackBird’s website, a passenger will choose where he or she wants to go, lease an aircraft and then will be offered an option of various BlackBird-approved commercially licensed pilots who they can hire to fly the aircraft. Once the passenger makes these selections and enters into the aircraft lease, additional passengers — unaffiliated with the primary passenger — can also select a seat on the aircraft for an additional fee.

In the press release, town officials said the company’s leasing model does not require it to comply with federal safety standards for commercial air operators. It also questioned the legal risk passengers take on by assuming “operational control” over the flight.

New York City helicopter operator Helicopter Flight Services recently petitioned the United States Department of Transportation for authority to conduct scheduled helicopter flights between New York City and the Town of East Hampton. Under federal regulations, an air carrier must receive authority from the United States Department of Transportation before it can offer certain types of scheduled air service.

OPINION Editorial

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP

By Karl Grossman

Time for Limits

That Was Then

W

W

ith a number of applications for fairly intense commercial redevelopment before it, members of the Sag Harbor Village Planning Board, its environmental planner and attorney began talking about ways the village might better control iland use in the business district during its Tuesday night meeting.

They suggested that the village adopt policies that neighboring municipalities already have in place to put a limit on commercial development.

And that is a good thing.

Zoning codes are meant to adapt to changes and pressure. Comprehensive planning demands revision and it is incumbent on regulatory boards like a planning board to inform legislative bodies when there is a needed change.

On Tuesday night, looking at just two applications currently before the planners in Sag Harbor, it was clear this is one of those moments.

A preliminary application calls for converting into office use a single-family residence and garage space off Division Street where The UPS Store, Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee, the Sag Harbor Baking Company and Berry & Co are located. For those residents who frequent many of the existing locally owned businesses on the property, parking is already tight and the quarter-acre parcel feels jammed packed as it is.

Maintaining a diversity of uses in small storefronts was certainly a priority in the 2009 zoning code revision that looked at Sag Harbor’s commercial district and created the office district in which this particular property is located.

Small, locally owned businesses are what define the village in many ways, but the planning board is right to express concern about adding additional uses to such a small property with its parking potential already maxed out.

In East Hampton and Southampton village, there are restrictions on the number of uses on any one property and a process for property owners that want to go beyond the limit. That is a fair zoning restriction, particularly in a village where many small spaces would be grandfathered as pre-existing, non-conforming uses. It is also refreshing to see a planning board interested in looking down the road at what the future holds — we hope this is just the beginning of that kind of thinking.

Let There Be Light

T

he Sag Harbor Cinema fire of December 16, 2016 left a deep wound in a village where generations of locals, summer people and visitors had fond memories of its old-fashioned décor, its rare single screen, its funky candy counter and its earthy smell, the result of its rear footings sitting in what used to be a swamp.

The theater represented what Sag Harbor is: a real functional community against all odds, full of families who have been here for generations, a stirring history, a functional business district and the character to buck the latest trends. We all took its destruction in stride — just another disaster among Main Street’s history of fiery disasters — but its absence rattled our souls at a time when many American souls were already shaken to the core.

The wound began to heal when the non-profit Sag Harbor Partnership began raising funds to buy the property, pulling it off in early 2018. It then set out to bring the cinema’s art deco façade and its emblematic neon “SAG HARBOR” sign back to Main Street with a brand new, three-screen non-profit Cinema Arts Center behind it. Construction began last year, and the hope is — with continued fundraising — it can be completed and put into operation late this year.

On Saturday night, the wound seemed to disappear without even leaving the trace of a scar. All the progress so far, and the promise of great things to come, made the official lighting-up of the newly restored and remounted “SAG HARBOR” neon sign that night a deeply stirring affair.

Even more stirring, but in a quieter, comforting way, is the sight of that sign and the cinema’s dear old façade, back where it belongs at the heart of Main Street.

Saturday Afternoon, Cedar Street

The Walking Tour BY MICHAEL HELLER

Letters to the Editor Saving the Sign Dear Editor, On the night of the cinema fire, it’s been widely reported that Chris Denon of Twin Forks Moving and Storage hauled the “Sag Harbor” sign to safety. What needs to be repeated is how determined he was to bring it back to life.

Within a few days after the fire, I stopped by his building to volunteer my metal working services and I found Chris in high gear. “SAG” had survived the fall to earth far better than “HARBOR” and it needed only new neon work and paint. Chris had already lined up someone to do the work.

He brought “HARBOR” to my shop where we rebuilt and repaired the damaged letters and replaced the mangled interior structural elements. (Much of this work was done by my masterful assistant Franklin Paucar.)

Twin Forks again picked up the sign and this time delivered it to have the neon work done by Clayton Orehek.

Chris paid, out of his own pocket, many thousands of dollars for the new glasswork and paint job to be done and wherever the sign needed to be, he got it there.

I believe that Chris Denon must have seen last Saturday’s wonderful gathering at the sign lighting in his mind’s eye, years ago, when the smoke was still clearing. He harnessed his remarkable generosity and leadership skills and greatly helped make it come to pass.

Thanks again Chris!

Sincerely, John Battle Sag Harbor

Get the Other Side Dear Editor, I refer to the opinion piece “A conversation with Kent Feurring” (May 16th edition).

Mr. Feurring represents fewer than 100 pilots. Quiet Skies, Say No to KHTO, and active community groups in Southampton, Riverhead and Southold, among others, represent thousands of families increasingly concerned by often reckless aviation operations over our homes. Hardly “... the small but vocal minority...” referred to by Mr. Feurring in your conversation.

Other statements by Mr. Feurring were misleading, at best.

Most importantly, there is no doubt that, in 2021, the Town of East Hampton will take back local control of KHTO, the most problem plagued, dangerous and polluting facility on the East End. The Town can then legally close the airport and return the 600 acres and all income from it to benefit East Hampton residents, not out-of-state aviation companies and primarily non-resident users.

Voluntary noise abatement routes are risible, serving only to concentrate a dangerous mix of polluting and noisy rotor and fixed wing aircraft in narrow air corridors, disproportionally over residential areas north and west of the airport.

Also it is misleading to infer that noise and dangers to our communities are posed only by helicopters. Amphibian

aircraft — aka seaplanes — are similar to those involved in two recent accidents, days apart, when seaplanes collided off the coast of Alaska in airspace far less than congested than over the East End. I hope the Express will offer equal time for a “conversation” with a member of one of the many groups representing those who have lost their quality of life due to the commuter aviation scourge. It would be disappointing if the Express does not seek another view, one supported by a few facts.

Thank you.

A Generous Neighborhood Dear Editor, I am writing this letter to thank all the people who donated to “Pennies for Patients.” It was a fundraiser at my new school and all the money goes to the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society to help change cancer. A special shout out goes to Tom (Jackson’s dad). And to Ms. Jan (the lady with all the pennies). I counted them all and there were 2,072 pennies! Thanks again.

Sag Harbor is a very nice place to live with very nice neighbors and people willing to donate to those in need.

Where is Jay? Dear Editor: Many times Jay slips out of his office, and climbs to the top of the town hall cupola on Hampton Road. He is seen gazing toward the west. Many residents believe he is looking to Hauppauge, thinking of a high-paying patronage position with his friend, Steve Bellone. Others suspect he is focused on the Suffolk County Water Authority in Oakdale, another bastion of political patronage. Surprisingly, Jay never sees County Road 39 in his sights. Although, his widening of County Road 39 is listed as one of his crowning accomplishments, he no longer mentions it.

Throughout history certain roads are famous. The Silk Road, the Appian Way, and the Oregon Trail are legendary.

Unfortunately, County Road 39 has become Southampton’s answer to the Cross Bronx Expressway or the Belt Parkway.

Just like the assessment crisis received no attention from the supervisor until I mentioned it, Jay fails to see the dangers on County Road 39. Instead of searching for a county job, Jay should be demanding the county work to solve this disaster. The trade parade, Hill Station Road, Shinnecock Hills and Shrubland Road will not disappear. The taxpayers are trapped, attempting to exit their neighborhoods, and the merchants lose business every day. How many accidents, how many tragedies are required for you to act? Southampton Town is your “home” and it is also your responsibility.

Greg Robins Republican Candidate for Southampton Town Supervisor

hat is going on with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation?

There was an era decades ago when Tony Taormina was a champion of the environment at the DEC. “Tony seemed to know everything about Long Island’s environment and politics,” as Professor Charles Wurster wrote in his book “DDT Wars.” Tony was instrumental in the enaction of state laws protecting freshwater and tidal wetlands. He was an invaluable resource for me and other journalists. His titles included director of the Marine and Coastal Division of the DEC. There were some others at the DEC who also were environmental guardians.

That was then and this is now.

State Senator Kenneth LaValle and State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. had to introduce state legislation this month to prohibit mining on contaminated lands within the state’s Special Groundwater Protection Areas (SGPAs) — because of an extremely anti-environmental move by the DEC. In 1987, the State Legislature designated nine areas on Long Island as SGPAs. The stated purpose was to “assure that such vital areas within…sole source aquifer areas are protected and managed in such a way as to maintain or improve existing water quality.” Long Island is dependent on its underground water table — its “sole source aquifer” — for potable water. “In the face of mounting cases of groundwater contamination from toxic organic compounds…and other pollutants, the state needs a program for the designation, protection and management of Special Groundwater Protection Areas,” the legislation declared.

The SGPAs include: the Central Pine Barrens in the towns of Brookhaven, Riverhead and Southampton; Oak Brush Plains in the towns of Babylon and Huntington; the Hither Hills area in the town of East Hampton; the West Hills area of the town of Huntington (where the renowned Long Island poet Walt Whitman was from) — and the South Fork Morainal Forest in the towns of Southampton and East Hampton.

Messrs. LaValle and Thiele introduced their legislation after the DEC proposed approval for the Sand Land mine in Noyac, operated by Wainscott Sand & Gravel Corp. smack in the middle of the South Fork Morainal Forest, to continue operations for another eight years — and even to dig 40 feet deeper.

Neighbors, environmentalists and public officials strongly complained for years about the Sand Land mine polluting groundwater. Not only has sand been mined but the huge hole in the ground — just above the water table — has been used as a dump for various debris including construction debris. Suffolk County Department of Health Services testing found groundwater at Sand Land contained high levels of manganese, lead, ammonia and arsenic.

Last year, the DEC issued a notice seeking to modify the mining permit it had given for Sand Land. It was expected that the DEC would order Sand Land closed within two years. But the DEC “behind closed doors….has done a complete reversal,” says Mr. Thiele. “The DEC is not protecting our water; it is rewarding the polluters.” The DEC, he charges, made a deal “negotiated behind closed doors with no community involvement” to allow continued mining at Sand Land for eight years.

Mr. Thiele also said he had been attempting for months to schedule a meeting with DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos about environmental issues including the situation at Sand Land, but Mr. Seggos canceled every time. “Now, based on having seen this settlement, maybe now I know why he kept canceling,” said Mr. Thiele.

“The State Legislature must step in to insure SGPAs are protected and managed in such a way that maintains or improves existing water quality as was intended back in 1987.”

Mr. LaValle of Port Jefferson says: “We have the responsibility to assure the availability of clean water for present and future generations. Our obligation is to do our utmost to stop contaminants before they enter the aquifer, well before they become hazards to residents’ health. Ceasing mining activities where the water standards are exceeded is essential to meet our goals. Our legislation is necessary to ensure a healthy water supply.”

Meanwhile, a lawsuit challenging the DEC move has been brought against the DEC with plaintiffs including the Town of Southampton, Mr. Thiele, Group for the East End, Noyac Civic Council, Southampton Town Civic Coalition and neighboring residents.

Despite Tony Taormina and some other environmentally-committed staffers, the DEC has had a spotty history. It grew out of the New York State Conservation Department, established in 1911, with its main function regulating hunting. The legislation establishing the DEC was signed into law amid the new national focus on the environment on the first Earth Day in 1970. However, some at the agency never fully embraced what became its middle name: Environmental. The DEC needs to dedicate itself to sound environmental principles. It must protect critical areas in Suffolk and elsewhere in the state — and reverse its destructive Sand Land stance.

“Visually, they’re not very attractive, are they? But I suppose it’s better than the large ‘Welcome to Southampton’ billboard with the police officer with a speed gun.

But what can we do? That’s their property. Personally, though, I think they’re visually hideous.”

Top 10 Most Read Stories on sagharborexpress.com in April

Emily Schoen took a semester-long break from the University of Kentucky, where she is studying special education and psychology, to take on a project here in Sag Harbor. Ms. Schoen signed on as a volunteer with Canine Companions for Independence to raise a puppy that will eventually become a service dog for someone in need. She explained the process — and introduced Larkin, the pup — in a recent interview.

By Christine Sampson First of all, let’s talk about dogs in general.

Oh gosh, I am definitely a dog person through and through. There really is nothing more heartwarming than waking up and seeing Larkin in his kennel all excited to see me in the morning. It’s such a fun job to get to see him grow up and figure out new things and see the excitement on his face when he masters a new command.

What inspired you to want to raise a future service dog?

When I was little, my parents trained dogs for the Guide Dog Foundation, and that definitely started it for me. I figured out that dogs were definitely a passion and that I could do something with my love for dogs. At the University of Kentucky, I joined an org called Wildcat Service Dogs, which is another service dog organization. When I came home I took a semester off and decided to join Canine Companions for Independence and raise my own.

FOREVER YOUNG

By Hope Harris

It’s not only teaching them commands but it’s also teaching them to love and how to have house manners, how to act in public and basic dog skills.

I understand there are actually two future service dogs at your house right now.

Yes. My friend Sammie Kiewel does Wildcat Service Dogs. I met her at school through the organization and she decided to come home with me for the summer, so we have another pet and another friend in the house. They are different organizations. They both raise working dogs but for different tasks. His name is Memo and he is a purebred golden retriever.

What are your future hopes for Larkin?

I have so many things I want him to do. Whether he’s a facility dog, a service dog or a skilled companion, he definitely has the ability to make people smile. Larkin has four different potential outcomes, five if we include not making it, which is an option. A lot of dogs aren’t made to be service dogs, so there is the potential. If he’s a facility dog he could work in a hospital or a place of education full-time.

Or he could be a service dog to help people with tasks.

He could be a skilled companion, which would mean he would have a facilitator like a parent, guardian or spouse, or he could become a hearing dog, which means he would indicate someone to important noises. The broad goal is to make people smile and just be there for someone. I think he’s definitely able to make people happy.

A

Memory

few days ago I couldn’t find the word “exist” in my brain.

I found exit and egress and excise but not exist. I couldn’t see it, couldn’t get hold of it and I needed it for a sentence.

A few minutes later I scrambled the letters, finally got it, but then it was worse: the word didn’t make any sense. It just sat there on the page looking unknown and unknowable. Exist. What did it mean?

I tried not to panic. “I’ll just wait for it,” I thought. “It’ll come.”

Later, searching my memory for an area above or around Big Sur, I couldn’t come up with any letters that might belong to the place. Nothing. I’d been there. I’d smoked grass overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I’d never been happier. It was years and years ago. Long-term memory is supposed to be the last to go.

Nothing. Finally at the end of a long stressful panicky paranoid day, “exist” came to me. It meant “to have actual being.” That sounded right. I put it in the sentence where it belonged.

That night, trying to sleep, when I finally stopped tossing and turning and getting up for water, and going back and forth to the bathroom, and looking in the mirror to make sure I recognized myself, and was finally about to fall asleep at 3:37 a.m., the word was suddenly right in front of me. It was even capitalized (as was proper, since it’s a proper name).

MONTEREY. I could see the landscape in the word itself. The ocean going on forever, placid and blue, steep cliffs down to the water, jagged rocks below. Henry Miller.

I could see the people I’d been with on that trip up the coast. I could see myself getting high and happy. “Monterey” the word and memory were now safe and stored away. I went to sleep and stayed there.

The next day I bit the bullet. I hadn’t been able to get my new iPhone to work. My old one had died a week earlier and wouldn’t/couldn’t take a charge. I called a computer geek/friend for help. I was desperate. I was unconnected

to the world; and to my friends, none of whom still had a land line. I couldn’t get on the internet. I’d even disappeared from Facebook (the only magical mystery tour left for adults). I was having trouble concentrating. I was forgetting everything. And maybe...maybe… being without a phone had something to do with my inability to find words. To think clearly.

My friend came over, found the password for my new phone and with lightning-like speed got the phone’s functions up and running.

I calmed down. Everything was going to be alright.

It wasn’t what I’d feared, which was early onset Alzheimer’s or dementia or a brand new disease where you can’t recognize who you are when you look in the mirror (now THAT is really scary unless, of course, the person in the mirror looks better and younger…but I digress…). I was back to myself again.

Now I could call my friends from my contact list. I could text and send e-mails and receive texts and e-mails. I could even go on Facebook and pretend I had over 1,000 friends, when in fact I have only 10 whom I see all the time. In person.

Being without a “smart” phone, I now think … is the equivalent of losing your memory. It mimics what we’ve come to fear in growing older: memory loss, confusion, panic, paranoia. Disorientation.

Yet here we are. This is the world we’re in.

But keep in mind: “memory” is not defined as the PHONE we hold in our hand. “Memory” is the ability to hold something in our MINDS. And our hearts.

There is a difference.

Finally at the end of a long stressful panicky paranoid day, “exist” came to me. It meant “to have actual being.”

“The Prompter” To Make World Premiere at Bay Street

Under a smoke-choked sky, more than 150 volunteer firefighters from 19 departments milled about Main Street, their helmets and jackets encrusted with ice and ash.

It was December 16, 2016, and they had just extinguished one of the most ruthless fires in

Nearly every day for the past three weeks, Wade Dooley has walked down 42nd Street with purpose — the glowing signs and bustling sidewalks in his peripheral, not his focus.

Across the street from Madame Tussauds wax museum, in the heart of Times Square, the playwright has marched through the front doors of New 42nd Street Studios — the birthplace of over 700 Broadway and Off-Broadway shows — and headed straight to the rehearsal room of his newest play, “The Prompter,” where co-star Tovah Feldshuh and director Scott Schwartz were waiting for him.

It was precisely where he belonged. And last Thursday afternoon, it got the better of him.

recent East End history — a battle fanned by strong, bitterly cold winds that they ultimately stopped, but could not win.

The flames gutted two adjoining buildings and claimed several businesses, including the iconic Sag Harbor Cinema, its white stucco façade tarnished by black soot before the village would demolish the front portion of the building amid safety concerns; the cinema’s iconic red and blue neon sign safely removed just minutes before.

For months, local residents paused in front of the gap on Main Street — a missing piece in the village both architecturally and culturally — and mourned the carnage, ash still lingering in the air.

Two and a half years later, they will gather again. But this time, it will be in celebration, to cheer on the piece of the fire that survived.

Thirty or more years chief of the Montauk Indians, Wyandank Pharaoh, direct descendant of the original Sachem Wyandank, from whom the East Hampton colonists purchased grants of lands at Montauk way back in the early days of the 17th Century, takes exception to election of a sachem of the Montauks to succeed him.

The Sag Harbor Transfer Station moved one step closer to becoming reality Tuesday after the Southampton Town Board put the new design, estimated to cost around $600,000, out to bid despite the vocal objections of roughly 30 Sag Harbor area residents.

The board voted 3 to 1, with Martha Rogers voting in opposition, in favor of a negative SEQR declaration, which says the project will not have an adverse effect on the environment. Priscilla Ciccariello of Laurel Lane and many others felt differently.

“No residential community should be subject to this,” said Ciccariello.

Tell me about Larkin.

Larkin is six months old.

He is a black Labrador-golden retriever mix. He definitely looks like a Lab but has longer hair. He loves to play, loves to make people happy and absolutely loves tennis balls and the beach. He’s just a happy-go-lucky, very, very smart puppy. He’s almost 60 pounds. He’s definitely a monster, but a very gentle giant.

What goes into raising and training a service dog?

It’s not only teaching them commands but it’s also teaching them to love and how to have house manners, how to act in public and basic dog skills. But it’s also having fun. It’s a very, very fun journey and adventure having a puppy.

What benefits are you personally getting out of raising a future service dog?

The fact that I get to make a difference in someone else’s life is definitely one of the biggest benefits.

Having a puppy is the greatest thing, but so is getting to see them impact someone’s life and give them freedom and independence that they may not have otherwise.

Tribe rejects order

bers celebrated the event alongside the highway, according to reports.

They have been under construction since April.

In its press release, the council said “under federal law, the Nation is recognized as one of 573 sovereign Indian nations in the United States. One of the inherent attributes of tribal sovereignty possessed by federallyrecognized Indian nations is immunity from suit. Accordingly, the Nation, its officials, and its agents acting in furtherance of the Nation’s authority are immune from any and all legal proceedings brought in State courts.”

In granting the DOT’s request, Supreme Court Justice Cheryl A. Joseph also ordered the tribe to show cause in court on June 7 why a preliminary injunction should not be issued. She set a May 31 deadline for serving the order to show cause on individual tribal council members Bryan A. Polite, Lance Gumbs, Seneca Bowen, Daniel Collins Sr., Germaine Smith, Donald Williams Jr. and Linda Franklin “by personal service at Panera Bread in Hampton Bays.”

The tribe also ignored a stop working order issued by the Town of Southampton in late April, as well as a letter written by Supervisor Jay Schneiderman appealing to the tribe’s conscience, he said at a Town Board meeting in early May. More than 30 East End elected officials also signed a plea to the tribal council on May 8 under the Town of Southampton letterhead. “We understand that the tribal Council believes

that these are sovereign lands, immune from local, county and state regulation,” it reads. “Whether or not such immunity exists, we implore the Shinnecock Indian Nation to stop construction and work collectively with other South Fork governmental jurisdictions on economic development projects that are more in keeping with our area.”

On May 7, the Southampton Town Board voted 5-0 to authorize the town attorney, James Burke, to seek out and hire outside counsel familiar with Native American legal issues to represent the town in any proceedings it might commence against the tribe.

According to planner Kathryn Eiseman, with Nelson, Pope & Voorhis, the change of use request would convert the single-family residence into two office spaces and the garage into a third office space.

“My feeling is this property and its use is pretty much maxed out,” said Ms. Lawson. “And then on top of that to change the house to office requires four more parking spaces on a property that is already very intensely used. My thought is it is a non-starter to change anything on this property unless it is going to become a less intense use.”

“We are all familiar with this property,” said board member Neil Slevin.

“We knew it was a stretch. There is no way I could vote on a proposal I am morally certain will create a more intense use than what is already there.”

Ms. Schoen noted the Village of Sag Harbor, unlike neighboring villages in East Hampton and Southampton, does not place a limit on the number of commercial uses on a single lot. “We seem to be getting proposals where the number of uses exceed what the properties can stand … [The Planning Board’s] main goal is to make sure these properties operate effectively and safely, and overdevelopment is not consistent with that goal.”

“It is not just what an applicant wants on a property and what they desire but what we can stand as a community,” she added. “There is only so much activity you can put on one lot.”

Ms. Schoen told board members they might consider recommending to the Village Board of Trustees that it limit the number of uses one can have on a single site as a way of managing the intensification of use found in some recent applications. In East Hampton Village, Ms. Schoen said, if a property owner wants more than two uses on a single lot they must apply for a special permit and have a minimum amount of square footage.

Ms. Lawson said the way things are changing in the village, it may be time to look at planning and development

through a comprehensive plan, rather than just responding to individual applications.

“In the past, the chairmen of the various boards kept a hit list of things they would like to see changed in the code,” said Mr. Slevin. “This clearly would be a good one.”

Ms. Schoen and Ms. Eiseman suggested the board furnish the applicant with its meeting minutes to give them a sense of its concerns. From there, the applicant can amend its application or withdraw its application or ask the board to review it as it is currently presented, despite its concerns.

In other Planning Board news, the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center was granted approval for its amended site plan application for a third-floor expansion of 1,216 square feet for additional office space and a “virtual reality” space including a 520-squarefoot outdoor terrace in the rear of the building. The application has been pending before the board due to a discrepancy between plans approved by the Sag Harbor Zoning Board of Appeals and plans submitted to the Planning Board. According to Ms. Schoen, the plans before the board Tuesday night are consistent and allowed the board to move forward with its approval.

The Planning Board also adopted a negative declaration under the State Environmental Quality Review Act for VACS Enterprises, LLC, the limited liability corporation formed by Diane and Gabe Schiavoni, for a proposal to redevelop 31 Long Island Avenue with a two-story building containing four retail spaces on the first floor and four second-floor office spaces.

The property — once a part of a Superfund site — previously held a building with five retail stores and was demolished in 2008 as a part of a cleanup effort on neighboring land that once housed a KeySpan manufactured gas plant.

According to Ms. Eiseman, the Schiavonis are addressing concerns over the removal of as many as six onstreet parking spaces — a concern for the board — in its revised plans.

On the trail of Nazis continued from page 3 — and 11 of them spoke in excruciating detail about murdering Jews.

“Nobody is going to believe this, that you can find a war criminal and go into their house,” Mr. Rambam said he thought at the time. “They’re going to tell you who they are, they’re going to tell you their date of birth, they’re going to proudly say they were part of the unit.” He added that thousands of Nazi war criminals had settled in Canada and, collectively, were responsible for the murder of many Jews, including children, during the Holocaust.

Mr. Rambam recalled the particular story of Antanas Kenstavicius, a former Lithuanian police chief who murdered 5,000 Jews. In an interview at Kenstavicius’s home in Hope, British Columbia, he and his wife divulged gory details about their shared experience in the murders. They rounded up Jews, locked them in stables, and starved them until they gave up all of their belongings.

“You wanted food or water, you had to give him a wedding ring, a jewel, something,” Mr. Rambam said. Only after Jews stopped getting water even for their children did Kenstavicius know that they had no more personal belongings left to give. That’s when, Mr. Rambam added, he shot and killed them all.

“He was like every old guy in World War II, happy to talk about his service, happy to talk about the great things he did for his country,” Mr. Rambam said. “They were proud of what they did. They weren’t afraid because Jews never gave them a reason to be afraid.”

At the end of their discussion with Professor Romano, Kenstavicius and his wife served him cake and schnapps. Canadian authorities ultimately charged Kenstavicius in 1996, but he died before ever making it to court.

Around that time, Mr. Rambam went public with his investigation.

He held a press conference, set up a 1-800 number, and advised the public to report any known information on Nazi war criminals. Among the hundreds of calls Mr. Rambam and his team received, one in particular stood out. Adalbert Lallier, a former lieutenant in the SS, reported that his direct commander, Julius Viel, had randomly shot seven Jews in the mid-

dle of breakfast at the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1945.

“I checked Lallier — I needed to make sure this wasn’t a trick, a provocation, to destroy what we were doing,” Mr. Rambam said, explaining that a previous witness to the Viel case from the 1960s run over by a car and killed. There was no prosecution at that time.

After checking with Israeli authorities, Mr. Rambam confirmed Lallier as a legitimate witness. Ultimately, Lallier testified against Viel in court in Germany. Viel was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

To this day, Mr. Rambam remains disturbed that it’s been so difficult to prosecute Nazi war criminals living in the west. The Canadian government has dubbed the crimes brought to their attention, according to Mr. Rambam, as “political issues.”

“All the war criminals that we found in Canada were scared for 10 minutes after the news broke,” Mr. Rambam said, “and they all died in their beds.”

Mr. Rambam lamented that the Jewish community did not do enough to get Nazi war criminals prosecuted.

“If you want a lesson from the Holocaust,” he told me afterwards, “it’s don’t rely on the authorities.”

Just this weekend, Felix Klein, a federal official in Germany responsible for preventing anti-Semitism, suggested that it is not safe for Jews to wear their kippas everywhere in the country.

“We can never expect to not relive history,” said Rabbi Berel Lerman of the Center for Jewish Life. “There is a rise in anti-Semitism in the world today — we stand up against that.”

“We stand up against any form of bigotry,” he added.

Rabbi Lerman said he believes the way to fight anti-Semitism is with an increased focus on spirituality. “We have to make sure our soul is nurtured,” he said. “We are all spiritually connected.”

Hy Mariampolski, a full-time resident of Springs who attended the lecture — and does some of the public relations for the Center for Jewish Life on a voluntary basis — said it’s time for the Jewish community to “be much more aware and awake.”

“We need to be much more activated,” he said. “We need to challenge and confront expressions of anti-Semitism as they come up.”

Back to Basics for Whalers’ Manager

BY AL “BIG TIME” DANIELS

Good Weather, Good Fishing

Steve Litras comes ‘home’ to coach Sag Harbor’s collegiate baseball team

BY GAVIN MENU

S

teve Litras moved from Atlanta to Sag Harbor three years ago, but the joy of baseball was far from his mind. The Floral Park native and former professional baseball player decided to return home to Long Island after the unexpected death of his brother, John, who had lived close by.

Now 64, he relocated to Sag Harbor, where his sister and brother-in-law, Pam and Donald Schneider, have lived for more than 20 years. He just so happened to move into the same Noyac neighborhood as Kevin Dehler, another native of Floral Park who is part of a new team running the Sag Harbor Whalers of the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League (HCBL).

“We ran into each other accidentally,” said Litras, who played shortstop in the Detroit Tigers organization in the early and mid 1970s. “We found we were both born and raised in the same town, in Floral Park in Nassau County.

Floral Park is a very small town, so we started talking about schools we went to and friends we had. Then we started talking about Whalers baseball. I said I would be really interested in managing the team and within a week to 10 days it went very quickly, and I got the job.”

Litras, Dehler and the rest of the organization will welcome a roster of roughly 25 collegiate players from across the country this week as they prepare for the Whalers’ season opener this Sunday, June 2, against the Southampton Breakers at 5 p.m. It will be, by all accounts, a quick introduction and a hurried effort to get ready to play. But Litras, for one, is welcoming the chal-

lenge.

“We’re going to have a lot of fun,” said Litras, who works in the executive search industry but is putting everything on hold for the summer so he can focus on the Whalers. “I love to teach baseball. I watch everything from the pros down to Little League and players aren’t learning the game like they used to. I like to play good, sound, fundamental baseball. We’re going to do everything you’re supposed to do to win ball games.”

Some players arriving in Sag Harbor this week — including a few from big time Division I programs — have Major League aspirations, which is something Litras, who was drafted by the Tigers out of high school in 1972, can help with.

“I was drafted by the Tigers and I graduated from high school on a Sunday,” he recalled. “We were not permitted to sign our contracts until we graduated. So Sunday night the Tigers were at my house with my contract and Monday I was in Clinton, Iowa, playing Minor League Baseball for Jim Leyland.”

Leyland went on to a wildly successful career as a Major League manager and remains a close friend and advisor to Litras, whose own career was just beginning to blossom when he suffered a serious ankle injury during spring training in 1975.

“In 1974, I had a great year and led the whole organization in hitting and doubles and triples,” Litras said. “The following year, I got called up to spring training and that’s when I had the injury. You get in one of those zones, and I was in one of them. I was hitting everything, my glove was good, and then the

injury happened at second base during a game in Lakeland, Florida.”

Litras had a number of surgeries but never returned full time to playing baseball. He moved to Atlanta and lived there for 40 years, building his career, before moving to Sag Harbor. He even spent a couple of years on sabbatical from his professional life and ran a baseball training facility.

“I taught everyone from Little League

up to college kids,” he said this week. “It was the best job I ever had.”

His new job began this week with a lunch gathering with the team at Page @63 Main Restaurant in Sag Harbor, which, he said, is donating the lunch and has been “just wonderful.” After that, there will be a couple of practices and then the opener on Sunday.

“I’m really excited to get with them and meet them,” Litras said about the

incoming players. “I’ve talked to all of them about the things they need to work on. Some of these guys have a chance to make it big, so we’re just hoping to be a part of that and help them along the way.”

For Litras, it’s the next step in a long baseball journey that began on Long Island. For the Whalers and their new manager, it’s an opportunity for rebirth.

Pierson Golf

Brooks Readies for State Tournament Pierson’s top golfer will join eight others and represent Suffolk County at Cornell University

BY GAVIN MENU

H

enry Brooks’ golf game didn’t just appear overnight. It came from long days of working on his swing at the Noyac and Bridge golf clubs and from playing rounds, starting at the age of 10, with his father, Scott, and his older brother, Tom. Now the 17-year-old Pierson junior will reach the pinnacle of high school golf in New York as he heads to Cornell University this weekend for the New York State Golf Championships. Brooks will represent Suffolk County along with eight other golfers who finished at the top of the leaderboard last fall in the Suffolk County Championships at the Rock Hill Golf Club in Manorville.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Brooks, who is also busy preparing for a state regional final on June 8 as a member of the Pierson baseball team. “I have definitely been working throughout the years with the goal in mind.”

Brooks shot an 82 in the first round of the county tournament last November and came out slow on the front nine of his second round. But after a par on the 11th hole, Brooks scored three straight birdies and ended with a 36 on the back nine. His two-day score of 164 forced a playoff with Commack’s Brad Castaldy, who bogeyed the first playoff hole while Brooks recorded a par to earn a spot on the state tournament team.

“I am confident with my game right now,” said Brooks, whose best score ever was an even-par round at Noyac.

Brooks took the top spot on the Pierson golf team last fall after his brother, Tom, graduated. Now he has one more year with the Whalers program (he is also a standout basketball player) and thinks the future at Pierson is bright.

“I am very hopeful for the program at Pierson,” he said. “As a young golfer, I looked up to the seniors for advice and tips on how to play the game and they were very impactful on my game.

A Good-bye Message to Sag Harbor Thanks for 10 Years of Love and Happiness!

e had a great holiday weekend. Sunny with temps close to 70 degrees made it feel like summer.

Even some brave swimmers were in the water. It’s chilly, with water temps around 60 degrees. It was a great weekend for the fishermen and, for the most part, the fish cooperated.

The only thing missing locally has been the bluefish. There are larger bluefish to the east in Gardiners Bay. Small cocktail-sized bluefish are in the surf and at Montauk. Fluke fishing is getting better locally. There were fish caught between Mashomuck and Cedar Point. The majority of the boats are fluke fishing at Greenlawns and Greenport.

The Peconic Bay porgy fishing is still going strong. The fishing is so good even the Connecticut party boats are here fishing.

Fish up to 3 pounds have been caught on clams and squid.

There are also some weakfish being taken. Good news is that there are some blowfish in the bay. Several have been caught at Long Beach.

Striped bass fishing remains good locally for the trollers.

There are fish being caught at Plum Gut and the Race. Montauk has bass and small bluefish at the Point. Fluking is getting better daily on the south side. Surfcasters are finding some bass and bluefish along the sand beaches. Good weather has picked up the fishing news.

Memorial Day

We Remember continued from page 1 starting with the Civil War monument at Main and Madison Streets, where Navy veteran John Capello read General Order Number 11 of May 5, 1868. Issued by the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, it designates a day “for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country …”

At the Main Street firehouse, Fire Department Chaplain Robert Kiselyak offered the fireman’s prayer. After another stop at the foot of the Lance Corporal Jordan C. Haerter Veterans Memorial bridge, the procession filed into Marine Park, where American Legion Commander Paul Gerecke emceed a ceremony that started after the pledge of allegiance with the Pierson High School chorus singing the National Anthem and Legion Chaplain Bill Schildknecht offering an invocation: “May we never take for granted their devotion to liberty,” of veterans living and dead who served in wartime, he said.

“Memorial Day can seem sometimes to be a bit of an awkward holiday,” said Legion Commander Gerecke, “when wishing someone a happy holiday can seem a little bit ill placed. It’s a day set aside to set aside our own pleasures and our agendas and focus on the debt we owe to those who answered their country’s call but didn’t live to enjoy the freedom for which they fought.”

He introduced Sag Harbor’s Gold Star parents in attendance: Nicolasa Arevalo, mother of Army Specialist Orlando Perez; Chris Haerter and JoAnn Lyles, parents of Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter; and James Theinert, father of Army First Lieutenant Joe Theinert. He also recognized Robert Browngardt, younger brother of Army Air Force Lieutenant Arthur Browngardt Jr., who was shot down over the Philippines in 1944.

Hap Wils, commander of the VFW, read the poem “Unless You’ve Been a Soldier,” which includes the line: “We are proud we served our country but remember the ones we lost for the freedoms you have today they paid the awful cost.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, that’s what Memorial Day’s about,” he said.

A few steps from the podium at the waterfront, members of the VFW and Legion auxiliary conducted a brief ceremony for those lost at sea followed by three volleys and taps, after which the Sag Harbor Community Band played a medley of patriotic numbers.

The featured speaker, Air Force veteran James Laspesa, spoke about the moving experience of having repatriated former POWS at the end of the Vietnam War as “returnees” through the hospital at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines beginning in February, 1973.

“I was very surprised. They were in pretty good shape,” he said. “The second group that came through in March was in even better shape. The third group that came through in April looked like everyone here,” he recalled. “The Vietnam government had been fattening up our returnees to cut down on propaganda.”

“Not was all jubilation and euphoria,” he said. “At our registrar’s office, we had a room that was called ‘Bad News.’

There were files and files of returnees’ family” information, “where something serious, tragic, had happened … The worst one I saw was one returnee who lost his whole family in a fire. Imagine coming home to that,” he said, his voice thickening.

After Thomas Gabriel — the Legion’s Boys State representative last year who is headed to West Point this year — recited the Gettysburg Address, the Pierson Chorus and the Sag Harbor Community Band performed “God Bless America” to close the ceremony.

Swerve me? The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under torrents’ beds, unerringly I rush! Naught’s an obstacle, naught’s an angle to the iron way!

INSPIRED by a WHALE and a MAN Three prints by artist Robert Carioscia inspired by the chapter “The Chase” in Herman Melville’s “Moby-Dick.”

BY MICHELLE TRAURING

T

Robert Carioscia picked up a copy of “Moby-Dick,” he couldn’t finish it.

A nyone who has tried can certainly relate. Herman Melville’s 1851 epic is nothing short of a tome — a staggering 136 chapters that follow the obsessive quest of C aptain A hab aboard the whaling ship Pequod, out for revenge against Moby Dick, the white whale that claimed his leg.

“Well, as Nathaniel Philbrick has said, ‘the book is a mess,’” Carioscia said, referring to the author’s classification of “Moby-Dick” as “a great disaster.” “It’s so layered and it goes into so many different territories that the narrative gets lost somewhere in the middle — and I got lost, too.”

Two years passed and, backed by sheer will and determination, the Sag H arbor-based artist gave the read another try, and triumphed, making drawings along the way.

“I said, ‘I’m gonna do this,’ and I set myself out on the task of doing it. A nd I saw it in a different light,” he said. “I began to appreciate all the different layers that Melville was putting forth: the cytology, all of the natural science of that particular period, his categorization.

“M aybe, partially, I was projecting, but I began to see his struggle with hunting whales and also the metaphysical aspect of continued on page B3 the whale, and the sacredness of it,” he continued. “That was one aspect that really grabbed me.” he first time

Radio personality Bonnie Grice was a reader in 2017.

A Unique Estate in Water Mill

he “Moby-Dick” Marathon dates back to 1983, its earliest participants reading chapter after chapter of Herman Melville’s magnum opus as they burned the midnight oil, often turning the final page as the sun rose, all from the comfort of Canio’s Books in Sag Harbor.

The Sag Harbor bookshop was the birthplace of what would become a cultural phenomenon, launching “Moby-Dick” read-a-thons across the globe — all aboard the whaling ship Pequod, as Captain Ahab hunts down the eponymous white whale that claimed his leg.

This year, in honor of Melville’s 200th birthday, Canio’s marathon is bigger — and more dramatic — than ever.

“We’re really excited. This is gonna be the best marathon that we’ve done,” Canio’s co-owner Kathryn Szoka said. “We’re so looking forward to celebrating Melville’s 200th anniversary, to celebrating great literature in Sag Harbor with new additions to the program that we hope will bring more people to the different locations to see Melville’s words really acted out, almost in play form.”

Since the event’s inception, each participant has traditionally read

PERSEVERES

from the novel for 10 minutes — no more, no less — before passing it off to the next, until the book is finished.

This year, there are two major exceptions to that rule: Alec Baldwin and Harris Yulin.

On Friday, June 7, they will each take their place in front of the 136-chapter tome at the Old Whalers’ Church and read a selection — Baldwin from Chapters 10 through 13, and Yulin as Father Mapple in Chapter Nine, accompanied by the Choral Society of the Hamptons.

“There is actually a chapter called ‘The Sermon,’ and we will have Harris be the pastor and another person will read the sections of the chapter that are not actually spoken by Father Mapple, so it will be a bit of a reenactment there,” Szoka said. “It’s going to be thrilling to have it in the church, as Melville would have envisioned, I think, as he ecstatically wrote the words of that chapter.”

In preparing for any role, Yulin said he tries not to approach them with any preconceived notions. The same is true of Father Mapple, he said.

“I don’t think about these things, I just do them,” he said. “Not too much

NOTES FROM THE FIELD Paige Patterson

Forget About the Arc, Noah

O

ne of the problems with traveling to another country to see gardens or garden shows filled with unusual, uncommon and fabulous plants is the mad, covetous, desire to own those herbaceous temptations that grabs you in a desperate lover’s embrace. And, of course, we all know you’re not meant to take plants, or plant material, out of a country, or into our own. There are hundreds of examples of why the enforcement of these rules at customs is a good idea, from the boxwood blight that has jumped ship from Europe to our shores, to the long horned Asian beetle that rode across the seas on their wooden shipping pallet trojan horses. Our history is constantly filled with examples of species being introduced to new territories where they not only thrive, but sometimes destroy the territories into which they’re introduced, making it not only inhospitable, but sometimes a downright impossible environment for its original inhabitants to survive – Asian Carp we’re looking at you.

Yes, yes, you say, but how bad can it be if I just sneak in a calla lily corm or two? What’s the harm, and besides, look how gorgeous they are?

Hey, I hear you. Imagine the temptation of rounding the corner of the first aisle I was exploring in the RHS PAIGE PATTERSON worries Brexit will slow European plant availability in the States to a crawl.

Chelsea Flower Show grand pavilion this past week only to find yourself staring at not one, not three, but 13 different cultivars of the Primula sieboldii. The plant I’m currently most obsessed with collecting. Rows of perfect little pots of young plants full of pert leaves and a nicely established root system just sitting there, begging to be bare rooted, wrapped in paper towels, and brought home to be tucked into Bridgehampton soil.

Thirteen cultivars I’ve never seen offered for sale anywhere in this country. Yes, of course I thought about it, who wouldn’t? And no, I didn’t purchase any of them even though they were each only $7 or $8 apiece.

Arrrrggggh.

God, I wanted those plants, I still do, but I followed the rules. I refrained from tucking stowaways in my suitcase. Not because I’m an especially good person, but because I’m too nervous of causing an ecological disaster to consider my own garden desires as superseding the natural order of things. Did the Europeans who introduced rabbits to America intend for them to be anything other than a good source of protein? Did they foresee its eventual escape from captivity, and, knowing its rapid reproduction rate, decide to bring it over anyway?

Of course not. Did they know that those cute, soft, cuddly looking and delicious (???) critters would one day end up right there with voles and deer on American gardeners’ most

Primula sieboldii

dangerous criminal list?

No one thinks they’re going to be the one that tips the scales the wrong way, no one, least of all gardeners, knowingly approach life with a “let’s see what kind of ecological disaster I can stir up today” attitude. Most gardeners want to care for the planet, not capsize it.

The problem is seeds. There was a great little article by Charlotte Mendelson in last month’s New Yorker titled, “Seeds, the Gateway Drug to Gardening” that addresses the addictive nature of seeds. The seductive

packaging, the promise of beauty that is so temptingly close. That if only you’d provide just a bit of soil and water, armfuls of silken petaled perfections, cornucopias of never before seen or tasted vegetables, and a shag carpet of herbs awaits you. Seeds don’t feel like a big deal. They’re dry. They’re tucked nicely into tiny, glued-shut envelopes. Seeds seem sanitary, they’re not roots or shoots or flesh teeming with life and thus Petri dishes for problems, you think. Seeds should be safe. And, as you wander the aisles of nursery displays, taking

notes or photographs of all the sexy and siren-like plants pole dancing for your attention, many of these same stands are completed by a corner case of their various bijoux in seed form.

A handful of promise for something you’ve never even seen — much less ever thought about purchasing — before is now there, waiting to be taken home, for what seems like pennies.

These seeds are seductive.

What’s the big deal you ask?

What’s wrong with sticking a package or two of that unusual basil into your balled up dirty socks? Where’s the harm? Well, let’s see, hmm, viruses, bacteria and fungi are all seedborne pathogens, and contrary to infected plants, there’s rarely anyway you can tell if a seed has a problem, as they tend only to be diagnosable once they’ve grown into plants, and at that point it’s too late, Pandora.

Not only that, these diseases are some of the most destructive — and many have no chemical control. Let’s look at beans. According to the USDA, the three most commonly carried seedborne diseases are anthracnose, common bacteria blight and halo bacterial blight. Got peas? Add in ascochyta and bacterial blight. Now the peas and bean seeds grown in this country tend to be resistant to these diseases, but if you bring in that fantastically curly bean you saw wrapping itself around the trellises of the potager that was planted in the center of the Great Pavilion,

there’s a pretty good chance it could have a blight that the legumes of this country have no resistance to. The fungus that causes stem anthracnose in lima beans overwinters in the seed no matter; and, if those seeds are planted, the fungus is spread to the soil and the field becomes contaminated. Scary right? Oh, and the only way to prevent bacterial canker in tomatoes from being transported is to soak the fresh seeds in acetic acid or to let them ferment for 72 hours, do we really think that’s happened in all the cases of those homemade, hand lettered seed packages?

Wait was that a yawn? Are you trying to tune me out? I get it; trust me I do. I’ve brought back seeds from a Giverny-grown somniferum poppy in a purloined seed pod, and I didn’t want to hear reasons why I shouldn’t any more than you do; but treatmentresistant diseases are starting to be a more frequent problem. Anyone got boxwood blight? Don’t you wish we still could carpet our shady summer nooks with the classic garden impatient? I’m not saying these problems were caused by smuggled seeds, but they are problems for which there is no cure. And that is something that should give us all pause.

Although I will confess, if there had been primula sieboldii seeds available there’s a chance I might have written a different article this week.

Just saying.

An artist inspired by the hunt for a whale continued from page B1 Following in the great tradition of writers rousing artists, and vice versa, Carioscia evolved his “MobyDick”-inspired sketches into a dozen metaphorical paintings and subsequent digital prints — a selection available starting Thursday, June 6, at Canio’s Books in Sag Harbor, as a warm-up to the annual marathon reading from Friday, June 7, to Sunday, June 9, at various locations across the village.

“I’ve never participated in the readings, but I have attended some of them,” Carioscia said. “I enjoyed it. To sit through the whole thing is overwhelming, but I was there for an hour or two, and this year I think is very special — not only because I’m involved, but because it’s the 200th anniversary of Melville.”

Born in 1819, the novelist, short story writer and poet mentions Sag Harbor in four chapters of “Moby-Dick,” forever cementing the novel in village history.

“Melville’s use of language, it’s sort

of like jazz, in a way, because there’s so much dissonance in it. I think that’s very contemporary,” Carioscia said. “He’s not a minimalist, by any means. Writers generally don’t write like that today, too.

“He was way ahead of his time, in his use of language and his mix of poetry and prose, and giving us all these observations of all different aspects of human behavior and the interaction of humans in the sea. I think that today, we’re concerned with that — the environmental consequences of what happened during earlier periods, and even today.”

Before Carioscia picked up “MobyDick” for the second time, his studio was home to a group of Sag Harbor paintings focused on East End suburbanization, development, and the exploitation of the land and the sea.

When he saw similar themes of environmental degradation and industrialization arise in the Melville classic, he felt a new series begin to take shape.

And so, the digital prints on view at Canio’s are not meant to be literal

illustrations of “Moby-Dick,” though loyal Melville readers may recognize loose references. Stepping away from the body of work, Carioscia now does, too.

“Everybody takes their own experience to it,” he said. “In fact, I was just looking at the originals and rereading a little bit of ‘The Chase,’ and thinking, ‘You know what? Wow, this really portrays it.’ And it wasn’t necessarily my intention to make something so exact. But yeah, if somebody is very familiar with ‘Moby-Dick’ and has read it intently, they might see a certain aspect of the book in the work.”

In an effort to reacquaint himself with the classics, the artist had just finished reading a gorgeous edition of Walt Whitman’s “Specimen Days and Collect,” printed with Civil Warera photographs. “In my old age, I just said, ‘I have to read these books. I have to get out of reading comic books,’” he deadpanned.

Diving into Whitman, Hawthorne, Emerson and Thoreau, he recalled the Golden Age of Quattrocento, when

artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci all contributed to a, collectively, magnificent body of work — just as the classic American authors helped define literature to the United States.

“It’s just incredible, as far as a literary tradition,” he said, “and then overlapping that with the Romantic tradition in the arts in the United States, which began to flourish around that period.”

And while “Moby-Dick” indirectly inspired Carioscia, he sailed a parallel wave of creativity, landing ashore as a Melville fan.

“I’ve been sucked into it,” he said.

“How could you not be, living out here? And being in the middle of such an artistic and literary community.”

An opening reception for Robert Carioscia’s whaling prints will be held on Thursday, June 6, at 5 p.m. at Canio’s Books, located at 290 Main Street in Sag Harbor, leading up to the “Moby-Dick” Marathon on Friday, June 7, through Sunday, June 9.

Coche Comedor Opens in Amagansett

The Honest Man Group is at it again.

The team behind East End staples Nick & Toni’s, La Fondita, Towline BBQ and Rowdy Hall has opened a new restaurant, Coche Comedor, in the building that formerly housed the Honest Diner.

Adjacent to La Fondita — which will remain a taqueria — the year-round Amagansett eatery will feature regional Mexican cuisine inspired by local products in a completely reimagined space.

Preserving much of the classic diner exterior, Cass Calder Smith Architecture infused the interior’s original rounded ceiling, stainless steel detailing and light fixtures with brighter colors and a livelier tone — a contemporary style with geometric tile floors, dark blue booths, wood-topped tables and a steel bar.

“Most notably, CCS Architecture has opened up the wall that faces La Fondita, creating a clear architectural relationship between the two spaces,” according to a press release. “In warmer months, the glass doors retract almost entirely to create

a much more open feel, as well as connect to the outdoor seating area between the two buildings.”

A graffiti artist from Brooklyn, known as Host18, was commissioned to paint an interior wall mural, while seven local artists are designing custom tabletops to add new life to the space — creating an atmosphere that supports the menu and Mexican cuisine.

From the mind of executive c h e f Joseph Realmuto, t h e menu leads w i t h a raw bar section, featuring local littleneck clams and local oysters on the half shell; seafood cocktail with clams, shrimp, calamari and octopus; and a selection of ceviches, such as ceviche verde with clams and snapper, roasted jalapeno, lime and salsa verde. Each dish ranges from $12 to $18.

Order homemade chips and guacamole or salsa before moving to the small plates section, each $9.50 to $16: crispy pig skin chicharrons with chili lime salt; crispy duck sopes on maseca boats; chicken tamal with pipian rojo and queso fresco; wood-grilled octopus

with black olive mayo, avocado crema, pickled red onion and lemon oil; and queso fundido with melted cheese, housemade chorizo, roasted green chili peppers, corn nuts served with hand-pressed tortillas.

Rotisserie meats are center stage among the entrées, from $24 to $49. Enjoy half and whole chicken adobo served with choice of mole rojo, mole negro, salsa chipotle or salsa verde; and apricot-tamarind glazed duck served with pipian rojo and tortillas. Main dishes from the wood grill include bone-inrib steak with grilled seasonal vegetables; pork rib carnitas with charred baby onions; cod al pastor with grilled pineapple, pickled cabbage and avocado crema; and arroz a la tumbada, with Mexican rice, seafood and chorizo in a casuela.

To no surprise, the bar focuses heavily on margaritas — served on the rocks or frozen — but this isn’t a standard selection, including options such as prickly pear and tamarind.

Look for an extensive beer selection on draft and canned, highlighting Mexican favorites and local craft brews. For wine lovers, there will be sangria on tap, rotating red, white and rosé with the seasons.

Coche Comedor is located at 74A Montauk Highway in Amagansett. For more information, call (631) 267-5709 or visit cochecomedor.com.

or those who have purchased the three-play Mainstage Season subscription package at Bay Street Theater, you’re now missing one.

The Sag Harbor theater will stage a fourth bonus show, “My

Witch: The Stories of Margaret Hamilton,” from July 17 to 21, and subscriber tickets are currently available for $39.99.

The newest play from John Ahlin will star Jean Tafler as Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West in “The Wizard of Oz,” establishing herself as a cinematic icon overnight.

Directed by Will Pomerantz, Bay Street’s associate artistic director, the play is “the amazing tale of how a gentle kindergarten teacher from Cleveland scared the living daylights out of every one of us, and the brains, heart and courage it took to be America’s character woman,” according to a press release.

“The show is described as surprising, fun, haunting and delightful,” it continues. “Margaret Hamilton’s Wicked Witch of the West has left an indelible mark on all who have ever seen ‘The Wizard of Oz.’” Tickets start at $39.99, as part of an add-on bonus to the three-play subJean Tafler, above, will portray scription package for the 2019 Mainstage Season.

space. The idea is to extend beyond retail offerings, sharing their company culture with the community. The shop will host various workshops like fly fishing demonstrations, surf swaps and even oyster shucking workshops.

“The goal of Sag Mercantile is to really showcase what we love about the East End,” O’Brien explains. “There are so many reasons we made this our home. Beaches, fishing, eating local seafood, farmers, all those things that draw so many of us out here.

This is where our hearts are.”

Open as of Memorial Day weekend, Sag Mercantile will be in place through Labor Day. They aim to extend beyond the veritable Hamptons season, as one knows there’s much to be enjoyed well into even the coolest winter months, and venture into a yearround business. The shop is located at 17 Washington Street.

merging and local brands have a force behind them trying to make things happen. From concept to production, packaging to sales, there are many moving parts that get a product into the hands of the consumer. But the reality for many small businesses looking to get into retail is that it’s tough. In a somewhat serendipitous meeting, by way of Instagram, Sunswell and Fair Harbor have gone from a DM to partners in just 20 days as they open Sag Mercantile, a lifestyle store embodying everything they love about the village and community.

The concept had been there for a while for Sunswell founders Carrie O’Brien and her husband, Craig. They had sold their menswear essentials taking guys from the beach to dinner out, as well as hats and totes women love, too, online, at the Sag Harbor Farmer’s Market, a pop up at The Beacon and a sidewalk pop up market, but a sense of permanence was something they had yet to achieve on their own.

O’Brien received a call from an old neighbor that owned a building on Washington Street. “She asked if we wanted to have a shop,” she recalls. “She had this space last minute. We brainstormed brands we thought would be fantastic.

Some we knew, some we didn’t. Fair Harbor is the other house brand that will be here all summer. People always asked us if we heard of them, then we reached out on Instagram.”

The rest is, a very short, history. The O’Briens made a connection with the brother and sister duo, Jake and Caroline Danehy, outside of social media, and found the two brands’ philosophies were in alignment. Fair Harbor offers men’s and women’s sustainable swimwear made out of recycled plastic bottles.

“When we got the message from Sunswell to partner on this concept, it was a no brainer,” said Fair Harbor founder Jake Danehy in a press release. “We look forward to building a community out east, and to inviting people to be part of our mission to mitigate the use of single use

“The tour celebrates the band’s long-awaited second album, ‘Magic Ship,’ which Nonesuch released last fall to critical acclaim,” according to a press release. “The New York Times said the album’s ‘intimate, close-harmony songs … tap into an ageless essence of traditional ballads and lullabies as they contemplate companionship, family, love and death.’ NPR called the record ‘a timeless space where three voices are all you need to be transported someplace wonderful, and the New Yorker included it in its Ten Best Albums of 2018.”

Magic Ship includes 11 original songs written by the trio — Amelia Meath, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig and Molly Sarlé — as well as interpretations of Ted Lucas’ “Baby Where You Are,” Michael Hurley’s “Blue Mountain,” and the traditional hymn, “Bright Morning Stars.”

The concert begins at 8 p.m., and tickets are $48 or $58. For more information, call (631) 288-1500 or visit whbpac.org.

A WEEKEND OF MOBY Canio’s Books co-founder Kathryn Szoka has one goal for the upcoming “MobyDick” Marathon reading, this year from Friday, June 7, to Sunday, June 9.

“We want people to come, to listen, to love Melville and to walk out the doors feeling really psyched about how great art can lift the spirits and open the mind,” she said.

The schedule, subject to change, is as follows: Friday, June 7 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.: Canio’s Books, featuring Canio Pavone and Susan Merrell 3 to 6:45 p.m.: Old Whalers’ Church, featuring Alec Baldwin, Harris Yulin, organist Walter Klauss and the Choral Society of the Hamptons 7 to 10 p.m.: Canio’s Books, featuring Josh Gladstone and Bill Burford with Bloodstone Theatrical Saturday, June 8 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.: Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum 1 to 4:45 p.m.: John Jermain Memorial Library 5 to 11 p.m.: Canio’s Books Sunday, June 9 10:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.: Eastville Community & Historical Society 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., or later: Canio’s Books, followed by an after party To get in the Melville mood, the John Jermain Memorial Library will screen John Huston’s classic 1956 “Moby-Dick,” starring Gregory Peck, Richard Basehart and Orson Welles, on Thursday, May 30, at 6:30 p.m.

Additionally, Canio’s Books will host a pre-marathon warm-up reception for artist Robert Carioscia’s whaling prints, on Thursday, June 6, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

century, in Sag Harbor. From our point of view, it’s bringing out the best of what cultural Sag Harbor has to offer.”

For over 150 years, “Moby-Dick” has remained a pinnacle of American literature, Szoka said, even more so during times of crisis and strife. It is no mystery why she finds the Melville classic particularly poignant and relevant today, she said.

“The idea of a mad captain bringing his countrymen to their demise through a mad search resonates quite clearly with what’s happening in our world today, and it’s also why the book, which initially kind of bombed, had a resurgence around World War I, because people started to see how much of what Melville was writing pertained to the events of their day,” she said. “That’s what marks great literature — it’s of the moment, but it’s also eternal, and Melville delivers on that.”

The 2019 “Moby-Dick” Marathon Reading will be held from Friday, June 7, through Sunday, June 9, at various locations throughout Sag Harbor Village. Proceeds will benefit the bookstore’s educational non-profit, Canio’s Cultural Café. For more information, call (631) 725-4926 or visit caniosculturalcafe.org.

thought is required. Thought, sometimes, gets in the way — where one can over-think. But the writing is such that it calls forth to do certain things. It just calls forth, like a good play. It just calls forth things in you and that’s pretty simple, really, sort of in a complex way.”

The moment-to-moment writing is what lends “Moby-Dick” to a marathon reading, its elements of classic mythology — a rebel to the established order, the heroes, the nemesis, and an appeal to a higher power — keeping listeners on the edges of their seats, whether they’ve heard the story once or 100 times, he said.

“It’s like doing Shakespeare. One goes and sees Shakespeare time and time again — or maybe one doesn’t, but one would like to, if it were done well,” he said. “If it’s done badly, you don’t want to see it. But this participation of the community in a great work, which is very familiar because of its history as a whaling center, it all seems to fit. And the involvement of the community in it is quite wonderful.”

The marathon will kick off at Canio’s Books on Friday, June 7, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., with featured readings by founder Canio Pavone and Sag Harbor author Susan Merrell, before moving to the Old Whalers’ Church from 3 to 6:45 p.m. The read-a-thon will move back to the bookstore at 7 p.m., for a performance by Josh Gladstone as Captain Ahab in Chapter 36, and an enactment of the Chapter 40 “Sailors’ Play,” directed by Bill Burford of Bloodstone Theatrical.

“The book really cries out to be heard out loud. It’s great to listen to, in addition to actually reading the words on the page,” Szoka said. “One of the reasons why we do the marathon is we want people to be reintroduced to the classics and see how they speak to our society and our culture today.

“It is an attempt to let people who haven’t yet read it — or, let’s say, have started it and gotten to the chapters where he describes whales in excruciating detail, and just couldn’t continue — to have another chance to really get what is so brilliant about the book.”

Over the course of 26 hours, the remainder of the novel will unfold on Saturday and Sunday, June 8 and 9, at various locations throughout the village, drawing upwards of 170 readers annually. For the first time, small portions of the book will be read in Italian, German and Spanish, a nod to the international crew onboard.

“We don’t do the full marathon in terms of going overnight,” Szoka said.

“There’s a lot of reasons for that, but one of the primary reasons is we want as many people as possible to participate, and when we did it overnight, there was a core group, but there weren’t many people at 3 a.m.”

Nevertheless, Szoka is there for every single reading, and every single moment of action, suspense, monotony, hilarity, tedium and brilliance.

“It’s fantastic and, yes, we’re exhausted at the end. But we’re thrilled, too,” she said. “It’s really hard to describe how you feel about it, but there’s a certain alchemy that occurs between the brilliance of Melville’s writing, the inclusiveness of the community, many voices speaking, and being at different locations. It’s a rich, rich feeling of embodying culture in the moment — right now, in the 20th
