Shells To Pay: Another Legacy Of Bill’s

an array of issues related to the historic
town hall, a project inherited from
disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee,
who left behind the half completed
structure and no money to finish it.
That wasn’t the only one.
McGintee also acquired the four other
historic buildings, some with accessory
barns and sheds, listed above. Two, the
Baker House and Peach Farm, were
donated to the town, the other two were
purchased with Community Preservation
Fund dollars.
Over five million of them, over five
years ago.
Tucked back off Three Mile Harbor Road
in Springs, Duck Creek Farm was once
owned by designer Helmut Lang. The town
voted to buy the property, which included
the 1795 Edwards House for $2.5 million in
2004. It’s not visible from the road.
The Selah Lester House, located on the
corner of North Main and Cedar street
was all too visible to critics who watched
as weeks stretched into months while
exterior shingling progressed at glacial
speed. The property, which includes a
second, unfinished structure, cost $2.5
million and was purchased in 2005. It’s
estimated it will cost in the neighborhood
of $110,000 to complete the interior. Independent / Kitty Merrill
The Peach House was part of a donation The Selah Lester house at the corner of Cedar
and North Main Streets in East Hampton is seen
by some as an irksome example of municipal
mismanagement. It took months to complete

of a handful of historic structures that
comprise the town hall complex. It sits
apart from the main hall, vacant and
unusable. Supervisor Bill Wilkinson said it
will take a staggering $800,000 to restore.
The Baker House was also a donation, but
the town spent close to $1 million for the
property it occupies immediately adjacent
to town hall on Pantigo Road. “There’s
nothing inside for heating or ventilation,
there’s no parking, nothing to make it

Tuckahoe Home Invasion
By Kitty Merrill
Southampton Hospital personnel
contacted the police Monday morning
after a man suffered from a gunshot
wound showed up looking for treatment.
Responding police learned a 21-year- old
man had been shot at his home on
North Magee Street.
Officers deployed to the residence
determined that at about 9:30 Monday
morning two black males wearing red
bandanas over their faces tried to enter
the house through the front door. One
of the duo was armed with a semi-
automatic pistol.
As the assailants attempted to gain
entry, the 21-year-old, whose identity
is being withheld, tried to keep them
out and was shot in the abdomen. A
Eye Insurance Idea
Independent / Kitty Merrill
Scott Bradley (left) and Southampton Village
Mayor Mark Epley discuss insurance proposals
with the Southampton Town Board.
By Kitty Merrill
Could a cooperative effort curtail costs?
Southampton Village Mayor Mark Epley
thinks so. Accompanied by Scott Bradley
of Cook, Hall & Hyde, he’s been making
the rounds of local municipal boards
looking to develop interest in the East End
Cooperative Health Plan Initiative.
Budget busting municipal health care
costs -- they could more than double in his
village over the next several years, Epley
said – spurred an effort to study the most
effective ways to offer health care benefits.
Recent changes in state insurance
law allow public entities, such as town
or village governments, or school, fire or
library districts to join together to form
a Municipal Cooperative Health Benefit
Plan. A minimum of three public entities
and 2000 total employees is required to
form the MCHBP. The self-insured plan
will allow participants to “achieve local
control, scale, share plan administrative
costs and deliver long term taxpayer
sustainability,” according to a glossy
presentation prepared by the pair.
Last month Epley and Bradley
appeared before the East Hampton
Village Board and last week, they made
their case before the Southampton
Village Hardware (1) 2x7 1-5-11:Layout 1 1/4/11 9:59 AM Page 1
housemate, aged 28, came to investigate
the disturbance and was assaulted when
he confronted the intruders.
Cops say that once the pair was
inside the home, they proceeded to
go to several rooms before leaving “in
an unknown direction by unknown
methods.”
The shooting victim drove himself to
Southampton Hospital, where he was
admitted for treatment. The 28-year-old
followed. He was treated and released.
Detectives are investigating what,
if anything, was taken form the home.
Based on what they have learned so
far, cops believe the residence was
specifically targeted. They weren’t ready
to say why.

Town Board. Before launching the
plan, the two propose conducting a
feasibility study. They asked the village
to contribute about $4000 and the town
to chip in over $8000. Neither made a
commitment to do so.
The duo has yet to visit East Hampton
Town. Supervisor Bill Wilkinson said
that while he’d be happy to offer Epley
the chance to speak with his board, “The
devil is in the details and scale is a very,
very important detail in most insurance
rates. I don’t see how a scale of local Sale ends 01/31/2011
municipalities can equal the massive
scale of New York State.” Still, Wilkinson
THE INDEPENDENT
said he’d be happy to look at any proposal
that could offer sustained savings.

Reflecting on a hectic schedule – she

competition. Alumni of STS have made
extraordinary contributions to science
and hold more than 100 of the world’s
most coveted science and math honors, 9
including seven Nobel Prizes and four
National Medals of Science. The Intel STS
recognizes 300 students and their schools
as semifinalists each year - pulling from
1,744 applicants in 2011 - to compete for
$1.25 million in awards. From that select
pool, 40 finalists are then invited to
Washington, DC in March to participate
in final judging, display their work to the
public, meet with notable scientists, and
compete for the top award of $100,000.

Alexa Lantiere

By Kitty Merrill
Once again a student at Pierson High
School in Sag Harbor has been named

www.indyeastend.com
a semi finalist in the prestigious Intel
science talent search, and is the only East
Ender to garner the honor.
Alexa Lantiere, daughter of Theresa
and Salvatore Lantiere of Sag Harbor, was
chosen last week for her work isolating
compounds in the collospongia.
Dr. Robert Schumacher, who oversees
the research program at Pierson and has
guided five previous students to the Intel
semifinals explained the folks at Atlantis
Aquarium in Riverhead were having
trouble with the collospongia, after it was
accidentally introduced to a tank. It was
impervious to an anemone’s sting, fish
wouldn’t eat it and it began to grow

right over other animals in the tank.
Scuba divers extracted samples of
the sponge, Alexa continued. With
specimens in hand, the 17-year-old set
about extracting all the compounds,
then repeatedly testing until a single
compound was isolated. Using a filtration
process, the senior, who is also an athlete,
sent her findings to the University of
Mississippi where researchers learned
what the compound was made of. With

Q Traveler Watchman
that information Alexa was able to
interpret the structure of the compound.
She determined the compound has
antifouling properties, which keep it
free of growth – it’s similar to the paint
people put on the bottom of a boat,
she explained. The compound also has
antibiotic properties, which may have
medicinal value.
“The curator [at Atlantis] asked us
to try and find out why this sponge
was so successful in out-competing
other organisms,” Dr. Schumacher
summarized. “Alexa’s research answered

A life long resident of Sag Harbor,
Alexa has already been accepted to Johns

Amagansett: The Affordable Apartment Epicenter?
By Kitty Merrill
Recently ardent activist Joan Tulp
reminded the East Hampton Town Board
that volunteers who love her hamlet
have worked for decades to make sure
Amagansett “stays the same.” Given
the volume of potential – and already
approved – development on the horizon,
residents of the community nicknamed
“I’m Against It” are going to have their
work cut out for them.
A 40 unit senior affordable housing
complex is set to break ground on
the south side of Montauk Highway
diagonally across from the IGA shopping
center on land owned by St. Michael’s
Lutheran Church. Next week the East

chair Rona Klopman predicted.
Longtime board watcher and lifelong
Amagansett resident Elaine Jones was
less circumspect. Speaking of the land
Principi will lease for the festival, and
the adjacent acreage where he proposes
the affordable apartments, she said,
“The Town of East Hampton could have

offered it to them and they turned him
down. It could have been preserved long
before and now look what’s happening.”

took place in the 1990s.

he mused.

EDITORIAL
Stop Fighting
Last week’s cover drew a lot of attention and for good reason
-- folks in Southampton fear the partisan bickering going on at
town hall negatively effects the town board’s ability to govern
effectively.
On one hand, Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst and Councilwoman
Bridget Fleming are in the minority, and they feel they are getting
muscled – and they are. But they need to come to grips with that
reality. Yes, the Southampton majority gave a party operative a cushy
job, and it was a disgraceful display of putting politics over the people.
It’s done, and it’s time to move on. The people will ultimately decide
how egregious the error was.
The Republicans, by virtue of their elections, owe a debt to the
voters of this community. The way to repay it is to govern for the good
of the people, not the party. Throne-Holst is a dedicated leader – there
is no reason why she shouldn’t have bipartisan approval for the bulk
of her initiatives. The griping, sniping, and snipping going on needs
to stop, and stop now. All concerned should realize this is an election
year – and voters across the country have shown little patience for
incumbent politicians who don’t hear their voices.
Let’s Rock
It’s hard to believe after hearing all the brouhaha coming out of
Amagansett, but staging rock concerts is hardly unique to this part
of the world. Just three years ago five of the biggest acts in the
world played on five of the busiest Saturdays of the summer at The
Ross School. The town granted permits in the quiet of the off-season
under then-Supervisor Bill McGintee, and nary a word of protest was
heard except from a few charities that were concerned the draw of
the concert would hurt fund raising events.
Social, the name of the promoter, turned out to be the creation
of Joe Meli and his Bulldog Entertainment.
Prince, Dave Mathews, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the
others came and went without a ripple, thank you. No one urinated in
public, no one was arrested for sleeping on the beach, and the town
wasn’t overrun by teenagers or hippies.
A proposed two day concert in Amagansett this August is much
smaller in scope, but the feeling lingers the two Sag Harbor promoters
don’t have the money or experience to pull it off.
As it turns out Warner Music Group quietly financed the whole
enchilada, paying the acts a million dollars apiece and maybe more.
Ross School officials said they were merely leasing space to the
promoters and were not involved in the actual production, though
the founder of Ross School is the widow of former of a former CEO
of Time Warner. As it turned out WMG reportedly took a $30 million
hit on the project.
Perhaps there is a deep-pocket sponsor or promoter waiting
in the wings with the big bucks needed to make the Amagansett
concerts happen as well. It really doesn’t matter, though, as long
as the $100,000 earmarked for local charities is put up before the
music starts playing.
Neighbors have a right to be heard. Their voices are being drowned
out by those who oppose the concerts for political reasons. Baseless
rumors are now being repeated as fact, by the same people who
insisted Bill McGintee did nothing wrong, by the same people who
oppose everything the current town board does. Their concerns would
carry more weight if they stuck to the facts. Comparing this concert to
Woodstock, for example, is silly, as is the business of people urinating
all over. As for the hordes of young people who would descend on the
town, we envision a sea of Ralph Lauren clad older folk with tangerine
and puce cashmere sweaters draped across their shoulders. We don’t
envision any public tinkling – it might splash on their Italian loafers.
As for traffic, between the train, private busses, and car pooling it
should be bearable. It is not true Montauk Highway is the only exit way
– cars can head north, eventually to Abrahams Path and points west,
including Sag Harbor, Scuttlehole, and Noyac. We also suspect most of
the attendees will already be here and not coming from points west.
Anyway if Billy Joel, the promoters’ first choice, is the headliner,
we’d be more worried about him driving to and fro than anyone else.
We hope the promoters have been candid and upfront about their
plans and goals – and where all this money is really coming from. That
said, Count us in. We’re hoping it will be a fun event. It’s the summer,
and we’re an international vacation resort – we should have world
class entertainment we can all enjoy.

Hunters and the Hunted
Letter to Editor,
After reading about the recently staged
deer hunting protest at Town Hall, I came
to a realization -- the hunting/anti-hunting
debate will likely never end. Much of what
is said, I think, is based on emotion, with
neither side providing solid, scientific
evidence. At times, false, misleading and/
or incorrect information is put forth. Case
in point – the anti-hunters’ handout stated
that, “numerous studies around the country
have found that about half the deer hit by
arrows are wounded and left to die a slow,
agonizing death.” That statement is purely
intended to stir emotions and is sheer
propaganda lacking scientific backing.
Someone once said the hunting/anti-hunting
www.indyeastend.com
argument almost invariably leads to a draw,
because the heart of the whole thing is an
emotional decision. It is truly a belief system,
just like religion, and systems of belief cannot
be conclusively debated.
I am a responsible, ethical hunter and believe
the idea that outlawing legal forms of hunting
is impractical and misguided. No other method
of wildlife management is as practical or as
effective. The monies generated from hunting
and fishing licenses, permits and taxes go a
long way toward the protection of habitat, law
enforcement and the management of wildlife
populations which would otherwise explode to

unhealthy levels. Without those dollars, as well
as contributions by organizations like Ducks
Unlimited, the National Wild Turkey Federation,
Pheasants Forever and the Rocky Mountain Elk
Foundation, many of the wild places and wildlife

numbers would simply not exist.
Hunting and fishing are legitimate, traditional
outdoor activities enjoyed by millions of good
moral people. I’ve been hunting for 50 years
and shared that passion with family, friends,
artists, carpenters, doctors, policemen, lawyers,
teachers, a psychiatrist and even a judge. We are
your neighbors. We enjoy nature and its bounty
of fish and game around the dinner table. We
also donate deer to the local food pantry. We do
not wish to force everyone to share our beliefs
or commitment to our outdoor heritage; we wish
simply to be left alone to enjoy this intimate
connection with nature.
I am a member and advocate of The East
Hampton Sportsmen’s Alliance, a NYS Not for
Profit Corporation formed to preserve and protect
the longstanding traditions of hunting, fishing
and other outdoor activities in East Hampton. The
Alliance is dedicated to responsible and ethical
hunting and fishing and promotes donating deer
to the local food pantries.
The State recognizes responsible hunting
as the most valuable method of deer herd
management. Hunters are regulated by
the State’s Department of Environmental
Conservation and are required to report all deer
taken. This invaluable information is used by the
State for deer herd evaluation and management.
The gross overpopulation of deer in East
Hampton is documented by the NYSDEC and
is very obvious by the decline of their natural
food sources and the increased destruction of
our crops, nurseries and landscaping. A quote
from a 2002 NYSDEC article on the white tailed
deer perfectly describes today’s conditions in
East Hampton: “A burgeoning deer population
causes increased problems for people and
impairs the condition of individual animals.
High deer populations also reduce biodiversity
and damage the habitat for themselves as well
as that of other wildlife. Each year, white-tailed
deer cause millions of dollars in damage to
crops and personal property in New York, and
are involved in tens of thousands of deer/vehicle
collisions.”
The hunter/anti-hunter debate is an
emotional issue, just like religion, and it will
continue. My hope is that my fellow hunters and
I can all practice our traditions.

Important Issue
Dear Rick,
Your editorial re: Illegal housing was/is
excellent. While I wish that I had read your
comments prior to sending my own to the board
yesterday with copies to you our views are very
similar. Thank you for placing this issue up and
in front of everyone and stating what so many
beleaguered taxpayers are feeling today. This
is as important as the financial crisis that you
exposed.
JIM-AMAGANSETT
Distorted And Abused
Dear Rick,
It’s about time. An attempt is finally being
made to return the distorted and much abused
filibuster to its original intent. It is being
pursued by Democrats; little surprise. The goal
is to return the Filibuster to its original intent
and form; a “Mr. Smith Comes to Washington”
format of standing up, speaking continuously,
“Talking out a bill.” For political expediency
it has been distorted to merely suggest the
Filibuster procedure, sit down and assume a
Filibuster. Never has this distorted procedure
been more abused than by our last Republican
minority Congress. They have raised their “Up
Yours” filibuster finger to an art form never even
closely equaled in the history of the procedure
thus destroying any bill proposed by President
Obama. Indeed killing any bill even of their own,
if presented by President Obama. Shameful but
not surprisingly so.
Obviously this Weapon of Massive Bill
Destruction could not be altered while the
Republicans maintained and abused it. But now
it may be returned to it’s original form. The
Democrats are now the minority in the House.
They are willing to do the honorable thing
and deprive themselves of this underhanded
political scam. They would revert the Filibuster
to its original form. Republicans one would
think, would be happy to agree. It may require
some time however since the Republican “NO”
House of Representatives would have to resort
to a thesaurus to learn how to express and spell
Independent/Kitty Merrill
that unfamiliar, elusive but positive three letter
word. I’m not going to say what it is. Let them
do the research themselves.
NICHOLAS ZIZELIS
Out-striped
Dear Rick,
Bravo for your Editorial on Quigley’s
“Accessory Apartment” legislation. Thank you for
outlining the problems so clearly and succinctly.
And, you can add another reason to that list:
the environment is not only affected by “how”
we use it, but by how many people are using it.
East Hampton has far outstripped its capacity
under our current infrastructure. We are not a
sustainable community, and have no hope of
being one if our overall population is increased.
Thank you again,
SUSAN HARDER
Not Interchangeable
Dear Rick and the Powers That Be,
What a difference one word can make!
Thanks for publishing my letter (1-5-11) titled
“Fringe Groups” about religious communities,’
“commitment towards protection of marriage as
a union of one man and one woman.” Religious
leaders affirmed the importance of preserving
marriage’s unique meaning and reinforcing the
fundamental cell of human society.
So far so good, Rick. But someone blew it
at the Indy and changed one important word
of my letter in the next to last paragraph. It
should have read, “stand up for marriage, and
true values, and their unchangeable meanings.
By your writing the word “interchangeable” the
Pope gave me a call from the Vatican: I’ve been
ex-communicated. Thanks a lot!

LOW TIDINGS
Please Don’t Make Me Cry
I’m not much of a weeper. Sure, I threw
my share of temper tantrums when I was,
like, five years-old. I’d usually wail about
something trivial, like a gumball.
“Mom, can I have a gumball?” I’d ask
as we’d pass the machine.
“No honey, it’s not good for your
teeth.”
“But I still have my baby teeth. They
are all gonna fall out anyway!”
“Not today, honey!”

particularly galling a man whose name
is pronounced “Boner” cries in public –
any man with that name has a reputation
to uphold for all the rest of us. It’s a
testosterone thing.
I give you as evidence a study released
last week. “Tears A Turnoff,” Newsday
Naturally, Boehner jokes are all over
late night television and the internet.
We won’t repeat the vulgar ones here,
because this newspaper, as most of you
know, is about taste and class. Here are
a few of the more benign:
With a name like that, do you think it
was hard growing up?
Nice guy, but he seems a bit stiff.
His campaign slogan is “four more
tears.”
Crying isn’t Boehner’s only problem –
his color has become a real issue. That’s
because he is orange, one of the few in
his race - Suffolk County Executive Steve
Levy is also orange, by the way. Both
men are direct descendants of Carrot
Top, though neither inherited his sense
Boehner joins a long list of Washington
DC officials whose names are double
entendres including, Bush, Dick Cheney,
and Representative Wilbur PeePeeStick
(Ok, OK, I made that one up).
When you think about it, it says a
lot that an orange crybaby could be
elected to public office although he’s from
Ohio, and maybe folks out there think it’s
normal. I just don’t think he’d play very
well in New York City. I mean, the first
time he gets held up at knifepoint on the

“No, dear.”
I remember thinking to myself, “It costs
a freakin’ penny. How cheap can this
ho be, anyway?” At the time that little
gumball was the most important thing in
the world to me.
But you grow up, you mature, you
move on. Most of us are guided by a
simple philosophy: men don’t cry.
Girls? That’s OK. You can cry. After
all, you’re a girl. Girls can make a point
by crying. It’s especially poignant if they
have eye makeup on, which runs down
their cheeks and make them grotesque

What does this have to do with

a man’s testosterone level, what must his
own tears do to him? This Boehner guy
may well be stashing a vagina under

ARIES (Mar. 20 - Apr. 20) This week if you stumble you
need to get right back up and in the game. None of this giving
up stuff. And really try not to get into looking at what other
people have or don’t have or are doing or not doing, blah,
blah, blah. Keep yourself focused on you and your life and
try hard to remember how many successes you have had that
have led you to this place.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 21) A time of great rewards is
coming for you and all you have to do right now is be very
patient. Take slow and steady action – all that good one foot
in front of the other stuff – and just keep plugging along. Soon
you will see that it has all been worth it, you just need to make
sure you don’t give up and that you don’t get impatient and
try to force things, or control things. Slow and steady is your
only job this week.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 22) Stable and balanced change
www.indyeastend.com
is the way to go. You want to take your time and it is okay
for things to take as long as they need to. Resist the urge to
try to force anything. Things are going along just fine – for
real. The changes are inevitable, so stay in sync with how
things are unfolding.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) It is time to get very honest
with yourself about what you can and can’t do. It’s about

getting things done – accomplished, not about learning new
skills. There will be other times to learn; right now it’s about
getting real with yourself about who you are RIGHT NOW.
LEO (July 23 - Aug. 23) This week you can know for sure
that any anxiety you are feeling will be directly related to how
creatively you are looking at your life or a situation. Your point
of power is in the center of yourself and there very well may
be lots of outside things that could distract you from that point.
The way to stay centered is to be connected to some kind of
creative/fluid thing. Work through your anxiety by finding
one simple creative thing to do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) This week is a perfect time for
some spring/winter-cleaning. You can do this on a large scale
or small, your choice; just make sure you are open to the letting
go part of things. Everything from stuff in your closets that you
no longer have a use for all the way through relationships that
no longer serve you are open to the cleansing. Let go of what
you know you need to.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23) It is your job to set things up
and bring your beliefs and ideals to the table. Live by those
things that you truly believe and become an example to others
as you make choices from your ideals. It’s not about getting
anyone else to believe that way you do -- it is about living
by your ‘truths’ and by doing that your life inspires others to
live in their “truth.”
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 22) What gets you excited and
sparks you to take action? Things like feelings are stirring
inside you and now is the time for you to take action on
those feelings. Yes, it would be easy to ignore them and live
without all that messy emotional stuff – yet isn’t it that very
stuff that makes life worth living?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) There is an old Zen
saying that goes like this: “The difference between pain and
sorrow is – pain is something that we experience in a moment,
sorrow is when we drag that pain into the next moment.” It
seems a little harsh, yet there is some wisdom in there. Some
old wounds would like to heal; yet we keep dragging them
back up by telling the same sad story or by replaying things
in our minds again and again. Allow the old wounds to heal,
they want to heal, allow the past to be just that – the past.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20) It would be nice if
you could find some kind of balance: a balance between
giving and receiving, between complete independence and
complete dependence upon another. That balance point is Today’s Birthday: Dolly Parton, 1946
called inter-dependency. If you are feeling burnt out you
have probably given too much (co-dependence), and rather
than over-compensating and shifting all the way to complete like to accomplish over the next week and then put them in
detachment, figure out the inter-dependency thing. order of importance. The hardest part will be trying to stay
connected to those priorities yet it will be the best way to not

list. Several of them in fact. This week’s energy is such that it
will be easy for you to lose your way unless you have a very PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) It really isn’t about defending
clear list of what is important. Write down things you would yourself. The holding back thing isn’t going to work at least
not as far as getting hurt goes, or people finding out your
secrets. This is a time of allowing yourself to be exposed and
yes, the dreaded ‘v’ word – vulnerable. Choose not to defend
yourself, choose to reveal yourself instead.

read the sign before or after your birthday.

I have never been a fan of bicyclists

car out from under a mountain of snow

I couldn’t help but wish that it was some
bicyclist digging his bicycle out from under

At the same time I couldn’t help but
feel slightly guilty digging out a machine

frequency of these storms.
It is pretty well known now that global
warming has been a contributing factor
in the severity of the weather in our world.

Bay Street Theatre is
pleased to announce that
actor Chris Bauer has joined
the Board of Trustees. “To
have an actor of Chris’s talent
and integrity on our stage,”
say Artistic Directors Sybil
Christopher and Murphy
Davis, “is a terrific privilege
and the fact that he is excited
and eager to serve on our
Board of Directors is all the
more heartening. We feel
so lucky and thank Chris for
his incredible belief in and
support of Bay Street Theatre.”
Bauer, a native of Los
Angeles, honed his skills in
Chicago with such ensembles
as Steppenwolf Theatre
Company and The Goodman
Theatre. After graduating from
Yale School of Drama, he
moved to New York where he

Says Bauer of his experience at Bay
Street, “I was thrilled with the openness
and intelligence of Bay Street’s audience
when I did Romance last summer. It made
me proud to be a resident of Sag Harbor
and I’m grateful for the opportunity to
serve on Bay Street Theatre’s Board.”
In addition to his theatrical and film
work, Bauer is also known by television
audiences for his current role as Andy
Bellefleur in “True Blood.” He also
appeared as Frank Sobotka in HBO’s
“The Wire.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Chris

delighting our audiences. We are
so fortunate that he also happens
to be a Sag Harbor resident who is
extremely dedicated to Bay Street and
our community.”

Windsor, the most common style of tying

Someone seriously needs to

what the problem is but everyone that I
know has been begging for hover board
since the 80s. I am sure that every major

we still not have one? It has been two
decades! What’s the hold up?
Not only will they become the more
popular mode of transportation and
reduce the amount of cars on the road,
but also I am sure that hover boards will
also be fuel-efficient, reduce green house
gasses, and separate your recyclables
on the weekend or whatever. Make this
happen!
Dry Tee-Shirt Contests: They may
not sound as fun as their current, wasteful

would be the greener alternative for any

As the oldest English settlement in the state and one

of the oldest towns in New York, Southampton has an
abundance of historical burial grounds boasting museum
quality gravestones. Some markers even date back to the
town’s founding in the mid-17th century.
Stating, “The preservation of these sacred and historic
resources is of vital importance,” members of the town
board voted earlier this month to establish a town
historical burial ground committee. The committee is

charged with preserving, recording and disseminating
information about the gravestones. They’ll also establish
best practices for the care of the mortuary artifacts and Photos will be featured in The Independent Bridal Issue.

Shells to Pay
Continued from page 4.
handicap accessible, no office walls, no
walls period,” the supervisor said.
Lamenting the legacy of unfinished
buildings, Wilkinson said he doubts he’ll
ever have the money, while he is supervisor
to complete the houses. “I have assets right
now I have no choice but to let atrophy.
There’s no money to maintain them, no
money to restore them.”
ON THE COVER: Pretty, pointless: East
Hampton Town paid almost $1 million for
property for this historic house. No one in
the current administration can find a plan
that outlines what it’s supposed to be used
for. At left, background, sits another shell of
a structure the town doesn’t have the money
to complete. Beyond that? Ghost town hall.

to the old building when he and the town
board decamped to newly refurbished digs.
Trouble is, Wilkinson pointed out,
there was no plan in any town board files
describing how the grand move might
work. Last year the supervisor found an
engineer who offered to assess what it
might take to make repairs to the aging
building in advance of such a departmental
switcheroo. He estimated it would cost $1
million.
“And that doesn’t even get in to the
reconfiguration to fit the departments,”
Budget Officer Len Bernard informed.
That’s just to pay to fix the roof and
crumbling walls.
As far as Bernard and Wilkinson
can tell, the prior administration never
consulted with any architect or engineer
or any department heads on the scheme.
“There was no plan,” Bernard declared. “If
it was in somebody’s mind, we don’t know
whose it is. Basically we have all these Independent/John Wyche
buildings, but they’re not usable. They’re

Further, he criticized his predecessor
for failing to detail any plans for the
structures, much less how to pay for
their completion. “This is indicative of a
town that was reactive rather than living
within a discipline of long term planning,”
Wilkinson said.
And that’s not all.
When McGintee heralded his scheme to
cobble donated historic buildings together
to create a new town hall, he offered a
vague description of the future of the
original town hall. East Hampton officials
could sell off-site office suites that house
a number of departments -- planning,
building, assessors, tax receivers and
natural resources -- and move them over

just sitting there. This kind of stuff should
have been thought about.”
Town officials are thinking hard now
and trying to come up with outside-the-
box methods to complete the projects.
One strategy may involve finding donors
to underwrite the cost of a project in
exchange for having the building named
after them.
In the meantime, as the structures sit
fallow, town taxpayers continue to cover
the cost of highway and parks department
crews assigned to mow the lawns, rake the
leaves and clear snow from the otherwise
uninhabited properties.
And there may be still more house
headaches in the town board’s feature.

 Bees In Jeopardy Of Missing Playoffs
38
By Rick Murphy
It seems like a lifetime ago when
the Bridgehampton Killer Bees owned
the Long Island Class D title, and on
eight occasions, the New York State
Class D championship as well. That was
before the Greenport Porters took over,
relegating the Bees to an afterthought
for over a decade. But schools are
growing, and as of this season there are
only three Class D (lowest enrollment)
on the entire island – The Bees, and
two teams they historically dominated,
Shelter Island and The Ross School.
But any thought the Bees had of
coasting into the state playoffs came
into question on January 7, when the
Bridgehampton barely survived an
upset, getting by Shelter Island 39-38
on the loser’s court. Four days later,

however, doubt turned to despair.
The Ross School came into the fabled
Beehive – where the Bees were once
unbeatable – and didn’t just come away

with a victory – Ross came away with a
laugher, a 73-49 slaughter.
Ross opened up a double-digit lead
early on, had a 17-point halftime bulge,
and coasted from there. As is the norm
the scoring came primarily Brandon
Pettaway (22) and Liam Chatsky (20).
It wasn’t so much what the winners
did, but what the Bees didn’t do: “We
played soft,” lamented Assistant Coach
Joe Zucker. Canaan Campbell, one of
the county’s top scorers popped for 18.
Mikah Hemby added 15 in a losing cause.
Alas, Ross couldn’t stand the largesse,
losing to Southold at home Friday 54-48.
Pettaway (13) and Chatsky combined for
24: Winston Wilcenski led a balanced
attack for the winners with 17 points,
eight rebounds, and four assists. Alex
Conway added 15 points for the Settlers.
It got even worse for Bridgehampton
Thursday. A long bus ride to Stony Brook
Academy for a 7:30 PM game proved to
the start of a long night. Stony Brook
rocked 77-32 despite Campbell’s 17
points.
That same night Greenport took the
short ferry ride over to Shelter Island to
secure an effortless 72-43 win. All Long
Island candidate Dantre Langhorne had
19 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and
five blocked shots and is being recruited
by Division One colleges including
Hofstra. The six-foot, six-inch guard may
well be the best player to come out of
the East End since Maurice Manning,
who led Bridgehampton to three state
titles during the nineties. Tremayne
Hansen added 20 points and had 14
rebounds for the winners. Jimmy Reed
had 13 points for the Islanders.
Bonac Shows Life
Don’t look now but the East Hampton
Bonackers, League VI cellar dwellers,
are showing signs of life under first
year coach Bill McKee. After losing a
tough one to undefeated Amitywille
on January 6 the locals traveled to
Elwood/Glenn and came home with a
60-47 victory. East Hampton is, in the
words of assistant coach Bob Vacca, “a
team in love with the threes.” Against
Amityville, only eight of 24 three-point
attempts fell. At Glenn, it was raining
threes again – and this time they were
falling through the hoop. Sophomore
Thomas King, and emerging star who
has been Bonac’s best player, was on
fire, netting a career high 35 points. He
saved the best for last, scoring 14 fourth
quarter points as Bonac went on run
25-8 fourth to erase a four point deficit.
King dropped in five of the team’s 10

Discussing the plan in Southampton
last Friday, Bradley noted a variety of

Bradley was in the news three years
ago, when he touted Empire’s attributes
in a presentation to an irate East Hampton

Mariners Come On
The Southampton Mariners are also
coming on. Thursday they knocked
Mattituck out of first place in League
VII 59-55 at home. Credit freshman
standout Shaundell Fishburn, who went
off for 28. Westhampton also enjoyed the
home cooking Thursday, moving to 3-2
in League VI with a 70-65 win over Mt.
Sinai. Michael Corrigan, who is among
the county’s top scorers, netted 26 points
and Nick Grant added 15 points. Senior
Jesse Schultz scored 19 points, including
the dagger in the heart a three-point play
with a minute left to give the locals a
one-point lead. Schultz also did it in the
paint, snaring 17 rebounds.
Baymen Confident
The Hampton Bays Baymen had to be
a confident bunch when Babylon came
to town Friday. After all, the visitors
had won only one of eight games. As
it turned out, though, nothing went
right and Babylon earned a much
needed 61- 40 win. Luke Mercurio was
a bright spot for the losers with 16
points. Undefeated Amityville (8-0) is
5-0 in League VI. Westhampton is 3-2
(4-6 overall) and East Hampton 1-4 (2-6
overall). Southampton (3-0) by virtue
of its win over Mattituck moved into
first place in League VII. The Mariners
are a sparkling 7-1 overall. Mattituck
fell to 4-1 (8-2). Hampton Bays is 2-3 in
league play and sports a 5-5 mark for
the season. Greenport is running away
with the League VIII title with a 5-0
mark. The Porters are unbeaten in eight
games. Southold is 3-1 (5-3 overall). Ross
is 2-1, (3-3). Bridgehampton, Pierson, and
Shelter Island are all winless in league
play with identical 0-4 marks.

The Rafael Soriano Ramifications
The past few months have been trying
for the New York Yankees. A season that
ended short of the World Series, being
spurned by free agent Cliff Lee, the
messy Derek Jeter contract negotiations,
and questions regarding Andy Pettitte’s
passion to pitch in 2011 are a few of
the issues that have surrounded them.
Only Charlie Sheen had it worse these
past few months (although he may
beg to differ). We expected a quiet off-
season in Flushing, but we anticipated
the Bombers would introduce at least
one big name prior to spring training.
They remained quiet until late last week
when Rafael Soriano was added to the
bullpen. While at first glance this was
be their bridge to Rivera, they had to
pay him like a closer (and we all know
they had some extra pennies lying
around after missing out on Cliff Lee).
By signing Soriano, the Yankees may
have found their late inning specialist
for this season and next, their closer in
the post-Rivera era, and simultaneously
added to their starting rotation.
Outside of Mariano Rivera, the
Yankee bullpen was suspect in 2010.
Until Kerry Wood came to town mid-
season, there was no clear cut set-up
man for Rivera. Wood left for Chicago
earlier this off-season and the Bronx
Bombers have had a void to fill ever
since. Soriano, who was the closer for
his deal when Rivera retires and could
slide right into the closer’s role.
With Andy Pettitte informing the
Yankees not to expect him in spring
training and Cliff Lee residing south
on the Turnpike, there are a couple
of holes to fill in a Yankee rotation
that struggled down the stretch. With
Soriano now owning the eighth inning,
Joba Chamberlain may very well slide
back into a starting role. His path from
starter to reliever to starter to reliever
and now potentially back to starter is
not ideal for career development. But if
the Yankees can lower their expectations
and accept him as a number four starter,
this could be a seamless transition.
But, hey, maybe in two years, Rivera Rafael Soriano
is still posting an ERA under 2.00,

The contract (3 years/$35 million)
certainly seems absurd for a set-up

to sign as a closer for $10+ million per
