GRAND RE-OPENING
By Kitty Merrill
Safer and faster. Few people would equate those two words with County Road 39 in Southampton. But if Jay Schneiderman’s vision comes to fruition, both adjectives could some day apply to one of Long Island’s most congested thoroughfares.
This week the Southampton Town supervisor announced a pilot program he hopes will help ease backups during the morning trade parade. The test plan will change the traffic signal at the intersection of CR39 and Tuckahoe Road to a blinking light on April 19, 20,and 21 between the hours of 6 and 9 AM.
During this pilot plan, traffic
Flashing lights and . . . an underpass?heading south on Tuckahoe Road will be prohibited from turning east (left) from Tuckahoe Road onto County Road 39. Traffic heading north on Tuckahoe Road will be prohibited from turning west (left) onto County Road 39. Through traffic on Tuckahoe Road crossing County Road 39 will also be prohibited during this pilot. Bottomline? It will be just vehicles heading east and west on that section of the road. No turns onto the highway.
County traffic engineers believe changing the traffic light from a stoplight to a caution light may reduce stop and go traffic patterns on CR39. This change may
measurably lessen the morning commute. Currently, Schneiderman said, the light stops traffic and all the reaction time necessary to get vehicles, especially big trucks, rolling again, contributes to congestion and lengthy drive times.
The pilot program will give engineers data to indicate if a more permanent change would lessen some of the morning congestion along County Road 39 especially during summer months. Many commuters complain they typically add 45 to 60 minutes to their morning commute along this stretch of road. “If we can cut at least ten minutes off a morning commute it may be worth it,” Schneiderman said.
Faced with burgeoning traffic problems 10 years ago, the town and Suffolk County decided to expand CR 39 by adding additional lanes. The $13 million expansion was completed in 2008.
Before the extra lanes were added, Schneiderman supported a “Cops and Cones” program that changed the traffic pattern, carving out an extra lane during peak travel times. It was supposed to run just a brief period of time, but was so successful, the county kept it going, Schneiderman recalled. “If the blinking light is so successful people ask to put it back, if it really makes a big difference, we’ll consider it,” he said. “The main thing is to test ideas.”
Schneiderman’s got an idea for a long-term fix that’s still in the conceptual stage. He believes “an engineered solution” may allow traffic to flow better in the area and is working with officials at the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on an underpass plan.
Over the next several years, the Tuckahoe Road/CR 39 intersection

Hillary.This country will barely survive
Obama. Two bad presidents in a row will sink us. We won’t make it with Trump’s simple-minded “We’ll build a fence and force Mexico to pay for it” type of ideas and all his other adolescent bravado.
I’m a Republican who is voting for Hillary. I honestly believe there is only one person alive who can save the Republican party.
And that’s Hillary.Follow me for a second: Stealing
the nomination from Trump at the convention would be a disaster. His followers will stay home on Election Day and the Republicans will be routed. For the next four years Donald will claim he would have easily beaten Hillary and he’ll blame the Republican establishment for his being pushed aside.
Do you know what Trump will do in 2020? He’ll be running for president again and ruining the Republican chances one more time – perhaps for all time. Once again, with his crude tactics, he will “debate and destroy” legitimate
HOLD YOUR NOSE AND VOTE FOR…
Republican candidates.So how can Hillary save the
Republican Party?By beating Trump in the election,
the same way Lyndon Johnson beat Barry Goldwater in 1964. I know because I voted for Goldwater in that election.
Johnson had an incredible popular vote victory of 61%.
Johnson’s vote tota l was 43,129,784. Goldwater’s was 27,178,188.
Despite some wonderful work he did in the Senate, Goldwater – who was a great man – was never considered a serious presidential candidate again.
This is how we must stop the vampire Trump – with a wooden “vote” stake through the heart. Then and only then can we start the process to win back the White House and undo the damage that Obama has done.
We haven’t begun to scratch the surface of the damage. Before any Democrats write to me with their litany of what a brilliant president Obama has been, just picture in
your mind Obama watching a baseball game and doing the wave in Cuba and dancing the tango in Argentina while in Brussels the blood hadn’t yet dried from a savage terrorist attack on innocent people, including four Americans.
Race relations in the United States have never been worse. This is after 54% of Americans welcomed the idea of a black president in 2008.
Obama has lost us the Middle East, and he’s lost us the respect of the world.
Do you Democrats really believe ISIS won’t attack the United States, soon? You do? Then I’ll bet last weekend on Easter you stayed up and waited for the Easter Bunny to show up with jelly beans and marshmallows for you.
Hillary, who is much tougher than Obama, will be a decent president, as long as she can keep her hand out of the till. She will be a tough opponent in 2020, but with Trump out of the way, we Republicans will have a chance. Just don’t underestimate the political power and advertising superiority of Democrats, and how they play interesting games with the truth.
What follows is an edited email from a gentleman named Marty Orenstein that humorously points this out.
It’s titled: What I Learned Watching the Democrat Debates
College should be free and all student loans canceled.
All medical treatment should be free.
To become an American citizen you just need to get to the U.S.
The economy sucks and after 7+ years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
The middle class is shrinking rapidly and after 7+ years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
Average family income is continuing to drop and after 7+ years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
B l a c k y o u t h s h a v e a n unemployment rate over 50% and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
Hispanic youth unemployment is over 35% and after 7+ years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
50% of the population is paying 100% of all the taxes and they are still not paying their “fair share.” The other 50% are not receiving nearly enough free stuff and deserve more.
Everyone who votes Democrat will work less, make more money, get more time off, spend more time with family, pay less taxes, and get more government subsidies. When America grows up, we want to be like Norway, Sweden or the Netherlands.
There’s a quagmire in Iraq and Obama’s complete retreat from there has nothing to do with the situation.
Republicans want dirty air, oil spills, trash in the streets, polluted oceans, no medical treatment, young people without any education being paid the lowest possible wages, and starving children, and they don’t believe in equal rights and are responsible for Jim Crow Laws.
Snowden and General Petraeus broke laws for releasing and not securing secret documents, but Hillary Clinton shares no responsibility for doing worse.
If Hillary is elected, everything will be rainbows and unicorns – just like with Obama. Hillary and Bill Clinton were born poor black children.
Evil looks like anything rich, successful and productive.
You will receive a participation trophy in life.
Everything is still Bush’s fault.If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s
Ink” please send your message to [email protected].

Eight weeks and five days till Memorial Day. Yikes! Time to get rid of those peeps and chocolate bunnies and concentrate.
This week, let’s talk about cleanses. Cleanses get a bad rap because people generally equate them with drinking nasty swill, then spending a couple of days in the loo. Certainly, there are proponents of such measures as a means to detoxing the body and dropping weight quickly. I like to eat way too much to chug icky stuff and call it a lifestyle change.
Last year, I kicked off a path to clean eating, and, as it turned out, a 40-pound weight loss, with a five day Ayurvedic Cleanse offered by Simply Sublime in East Hampton. According to Sublime co-proprietor Juliette Logie, their cleanse is very doable and teaches you to use whole vegan foods in delicious recipes and to move out of food habits that are no longer serving you.
The goal is to move away from highly processed foods, considered toxic in some circles. The Sublime eating cleanse is an eating cleanse that uses vegan alkaline-based food. Three nutrient dense meals, plus fresh organic juice and (my favorite) Master Cleanse Lemonade are included each day.
Each day of the five day cleanse, I picked up all my food, ready to go at the Springs Fireplace Road shop. Just taking the decision-making out of the menu for five days was a huge help.
Simply Sublime is offering another cleanse beginning on Monday, and I’m in. Be sure to visit our Facebook page for daily updates and info about what I get to eat!
Logie reported the cleanses have become so popular that a lot of customers continue doing them monthly after trying it for the first time. They cap the number of participants at 25 and the roster fills up fast. Call 631-604-1566 to learn more.
Next week check back for the deets on the next cleanse I did after Sublime’s five days of gourmet fun, the 10-day green smoothie cleanse. The two worked together perfectly for me.
Of course, check with your MD before setting out on any special food or exercise plan.
In the meantime, we’re still

Remember the McGintee era financial meltdown in East Hampton Town? It’s baaaaaaack.
East Hampton Town wants out of the litigation filed by tenants of the Windmill II senior affordable housing project over a persistent mold problem. But the tenants maintain the mold, which flared up in 2013, should have been removed in 2009.
Two former tenants, Eleanor Cobb and Joan Holden, have sued
Tenants, Town Spar In Court
not only Windmill LLC, the entity that built and manages the facility on Accabonac Highway, but the town and Thomas Ruhle, the town’s Housing Director.
They contend that when the mold was originally discovered in 2009 it was not properly remediated because the town in essence spent HUD subsidies earmarked for Windmill II LLC to help keep the town afloat.
Rumors were rampant for years

Scott Farina, the Superintendent of the Southampton School District, is a victim of an overzealous media that rushes rumors into publication without bothering to check the facts, his attorney, Steve Politi, charged this week.
“An X-rated selfie allegedly taken by a Hamptons school superintendent is making the rounds on campus, and is now part of an official investigation into the reputed Lothario, sources told The Post,” The New York Post reported in an item attributed to Selim Algar published March 18.
The item came on the heels of a terse announcement by Heather
Farina Will Clear Name, Attorney VowsMcCall ion, the school board president, who announced the district had hired outside counsel “to examine allegations that were brought to our attention regarding our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Scott Farina.”
Rumors have swirled through the district for the past month about perceived discret ions allegedly committed by Farina – but nothing has been proven.
Nor has Farina missed class time, as was alleged in some quarters. “He’s here. He has never been suspended. His work has never been uninterrupted.” Politi said his client has been the victim of a smear campaign.
The picture, for example, which The Independent has, does not picture Farina. The male in the x-rated image is not identifiable. And it is not a “selfie” either, his attorney said.
“I don’t care how many times
you pass it around or how many times you lie about it,” Politi said. “It doesn’t make it true.”
One rumor was the picture, which is x-rated, was taken from a device owned by the district and used by Farina. “Nobody has even bothered to take the first step, to see where the image comes from. It was not sent by my client. No such photographs exist on his Ipad.”
The distribution of the saucy picture was part of an orchestrated campaign by an ex-girlfr1end, the subject of complaints “In two states,” the attorney said.
The woman in question, who resides in Center Moriches and works in Hampton Bays, has declined to reply to requests for comment from this newspaper. Farina is recently divorced. His wife and family l ive in Pennsylvania.
Politi said the latest incident is the classic case of a scorned women seeking revenge. “They had a relationship. Now he is dating someone else . Every allegation is unfounded.”
Politi said the woman, already allegedly has a defamation suit against her filed by the wife of an ex-boyfriend.
“I assume she gave the quotes to the Post. She tried to make this as embarrassing as possible.”
Allegations are swirling that Farina gave answers to a Regents test to a student and that he committed some kind of fiscal impropriety.
“ E v e r y a l l e g a t i o n i s unfounded,” Politi said. “I can’t talk about the investigation while it is still ongoing because we agreed not to.” He declined to say if the State Department of Education is investigating, as is typically the case when grade fixing or test tampering is involved.
We are cooperating fully. I applaud this investigation. No investigation is limited to one or two events. It would be foolish to not investigate everything,” the attorney said.

Eleanor Cobb (l) and Joan Holden (r) are suing the town, claiming that during the Bill McGintee era funds that could have been used to alleviate a mold problem at Windmill II were diverted to town coffers.
that under the regime of former Town Supervisor Bill McGintee the town had been hemorrhaging money. In June 2009, the town’s budget officer Ted Hults was arrested and charged with seven felonies, including raiding the town’s Community Preservation Fund to pay bills – the CPF is by law a dedicated fund.
Ruhle acknowledges that at one point he withheld HUD payments that were supposed to go to Windmill II because of the mold problem.
But Lawrence E. Kelly, who represents Holden and Cobb, argues in court papers that the town, with Ruhle’s knowledge, diverted the HUD money to town coffers because it was desperate for cash. HUD subsidizes the rent paid by tenants to make the apartments affordable to seniors with limited incomes.
Ruhle declined to comment this week.
The attorney representing Ruhle and East Hampton Town, Brian S. Sokoloff, filed a motion to dismiss the suit. Kelly in turn has filed a memorandum of law urging the U.S. District Court to dismiss Sokoloff’s motion.
“This case is not about mold,” Sokoloff said in an interview. “The town is not responsible whether there is mold or not.” He declined
to comment about how HUD money is received and distributed by the town. “That’s not what this case is all about.”
Sokoloff said the case against Ruhle is a smear campaign. “If he wants to make complaints he can go to the prosecutor. He wants to smear someone. It’s disgusting.”
Kelly, is his court filing, noted that the town donated the land the complex was built on and that Ruhle’s office distributes the HUD funds. These facts provide proof the town is intertwined with the Windmill II board and thus liable. He is charging his clients’ Constitutional Rights were violated because they tried to warn other tenants of the dangers of mold and were suppressed from doing so.
The town acknowledges in its court filing that “beginning in 2009 the Premises suffered from a mold condition and undertook abatement measures which the plaintiffs claim were insufficient." But Sokoloff argues a government official has “qualified immunity.” The Plaintiffs must show the violation of constitutional rights resulted from a municipal custom or policy,” he said.
Cobb moved out after she produced medical records stating her health was deteriorating because of the mold.
On July 26, 2013 Kathleen M. Restivo, a Lake Success doctor wrote that Cobb had to be vacated from her apartment. “She is short of breath . . . she has a sore . . . she is recently losing her hair . . . the mold is being vented directly up under her air conditioner. It would be a shame to have her succumb to an environmental hazard.”
The reason Cobb needed documentation is because all of the renters signed a lease stating that the apartments were their primary residences — if they left, not only would their federal assistance
CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-1.Windmill
end, but they would not have their leases renewed. They were, in essence trapped in the mold-infected dwellings, the tenants charged.
Holden, the outspoken tenants’
rep, was evicted after Ruhle charged she did not live on the premises, a violation of HUD bylaws. She provided letters from three doctors documenting the effect the mold had on her allergies.

U.S. Senators from New York and Connecticut are urging the government to preserve Plum Island. As it stands now the island is slated to be sold at auction once the research facility there is relocated to Kansas.
U . S . S ena to r s Char l e s E . Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand urged the Senate Committee
Senators: Save Plum Islandon Appropriat ions to a l low the island to be preserved last week. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) is also on board with the preservation plan.
The senators are part of a contingent of local politicians angling to prevent Plum Island from falling into private hands. Southold Town has a lready upzoned it to the point where
development would be extremely limited, though it is not certain the move will prevail in court.
“We are positive they can withstand any court challenge,” c o u n t e r e d S o u t h o l d To w n Supervisor Scott Russell.
Congressman Lee Zeldin has sponsored a bil l that would mandate the Island be preserved. Zeldin said he “believes strongly
in local control and that Plum Island offers Long Island a unique research and environmental resource that should be preserved for generations to come.”
“ W i t h o p e n s p a c e e v e r dwindling on Long Island, we should do everything possible to preserve the environmental and wildlife habitat that is Plum Island,” Schumer said.
The 840-acre island is technically in Southold Town but owned by the U.S. government. The island has been used as a government run research facility since 1954. It is slated to close in 2022. There are currently 300 employees on the island, with about 200 based on Long Island.
Michael C. Carroll, the author of Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory, demonized the island, stating over the years scientists have studied numerous dangerous and even deadly viruses and forms of biological warfare.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and General Services Administration (GSA) in September, 2012 calling for both agencies to submit to a consent order requiring them to present a comprehensive environmental c leanup plan for Plum Island and giving the state final review of the Island’s conditions before it is put up for sale.

St. Patty’s Day LockupSouthampton Town Pol ice
arrested a Hampton Bays man on March 17 and charged him with a felony count of Driving While Intoxicated.
Selven Maldonado-Buezo, 28, was allegedly driving erratically in a white Toyota pickup and spotted by a witness.
Police said he was spotted traveling eastbound on Montauk Highway and pulled over. Police determined he had been drinking excessively. A computer check revealed a prior DWI, elevating the new charge to a felony. He was additionally charged with driving without a license, according to police reports.
Maldonado-Buezo was taken into custody and held overnight for arraignment.
Life In The Wrong LaneA failure to stay on the right
side of the road resulted in a felony arrest of another Hampton Bays man. Southampton Town Police said shortly before 5 AM Sunday morning a vehicle on West Montauk Highway was observed swerving. The driver, Carlos PullaSolano, 21, was pulled over. Police said he was intoxicated and charged him with DWI. PullaSolano allegedly resisted arrest and was additionally charged. A computer check resulted in a felony charge of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation First Degree. He was taken into custody and held for arraignment.
Juvenile BehaviorPolice said another Hampton
Bays man was driving drunk with a minor in the car. Shorty after 1 AM Sunday a 1999 Mustang being driven erratically by Santos A. Reyes, 46, was headed south on Ponguogue Avenue. After pulling him over police said they ascertained Reyes was drunk and his passenger underage. The parents of the passenger were called and Reyes was arrested and charged with a felony count of DWI and Endangering the Welfare of a Minor, a Misdemeanor.
Train/Truck FatalitySouthold Town Police released
the name of the driver who died in a collision with a train on March 23 in Mattituck. Frank McBride, a local man, was headed south on Elijah’s Lane at about 1 PM when his 2002 Chevy Silverado pickup apparently tried to cross the tracks despite the fact that the safety gate was down, according to the MTA. McBride was a graduate of Mattituck High and worked for Southold Town.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has succeeded in his efforts to shut down Daily Fantasy Sports in New York State – for the moment.
Schneiderman initially ordered the closure in November but two of the largest service providers, Draft Kings and FanDuel, obtained a restraining order to allow them to keep operating.
Last week, though, the two sides pounded out a temporary agreement to cease betting pending proposed legislation that would legalize DFS in some capacity. Yahoo and other smaller providers also suspended operations as well.
At issue is whether DFS is a game of skill or a game of chance. Games of chance are considered gambling and fall under strict supervision from the state.
“We hope to work with legislative leaders in each state to ensure our fans maintain access to the fun
Daily Fantasy Sports Shutdown By Stateand excitement [they] have come to love at FanDuel. The commissioners at the top professional sports leagues including the NFL, the NBA and MLB share support for sensible regulation of fantasy sports that protects consumers, without sacrificing their enjoyment of the game,” FanDuel CEO Nigel Eccles said.
Several other states have banned DFS and several more, most notably New Jersey, are considering banning it -- critics say the move is fueled by the casino industry, which feels DFS hurts its core business by siphoning money away from the casinos.
More to the point, states extract huge licensing fees from gambling operations. Should DFS companies like Draft Kings have to pay each state for a license it would become cost prohibitive.
Though players have been shut out, the agreement forged will eventually benefit both sides, legal experts say.
The settlement means the companies would not have to pay any fines or penalties should the courts – or the state legislature – decide DFS is indeed gambling.
“This is a decisive and important victory for the rule of law in New York State,” Schneiderman said at a news conference. “No company or individual no matter how powerful or well financed is above the law.”
New York is one of the largest markets for daily fantasy sports in the United States.
According to court filings, the state was Draft Kings’ second biggest by revenue in 2014. Fantasy Sports has grown into a $75 billion industry over the past decade.
On the other hand, if daily fantasy sports are legalized in New York this year all charged leveled by Schneiderman will be dropped.
New York State Senator John Bonacic, a Republican, has a bill pending in Albany that would provide a path to legality for DFS sites, which would pay registration fees under his proposal.
The agreement forged last week is a temporary one. Barring a change in state law the cease and desist order will end in September
and court proceedings would continue – Draft Kings and Fan Duel are appealing Schneiderman’s original order to cease operations.
Should the DFS sites win their appeal the Attorney General’s office agreed it would terminate its stop order and not pursue further action.
If the NYAG wins his appeal, then Draft Kings and FanDuel will drop all lawsuits and future appeals. The AG will also stop pursuit of all claims outside of the aforementioned advertising claims.
Bonacic said his legislation sends a message to the court: “We are prepared to allow daily fantasy sports to continue — providing it’s monitored, it’s regulated and there are consumer protections.”
Meanwhile, the providers have refunded all money held in player accounts.

As regular readers know I don’t take many vacations – just one long weekend a year. So naturally I want to go to the most exotic retreat possible, to luxuriate in five star surroundings, to pamper myself, to rejuvenate for the long summer of work ahead.
That’s why I go to the same place every year: Albany, New York.
For those who are too young to remember (or too old to re-member) Governor Nelson Rock-efeller spent billions of dollars creating the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany, reshaping the city and thus building a last-ing monument to himself. No one lives downtown. No one goes downtown. It was a gigantic waste of money.
Q: How is Nelson Rockefeller?A: He’s feeling Happy.If you don’t remember that
joke, you probably weren’t around when Nelson Rockefeller visited Sag Harbor. I would say it was in the early sixties, and he stood on the front steps of the Whaling Museum meeting and greeting the locals. He served four terms as governor, ran three times for the presidency and was the Vice President of the United States under President Ford which prompted the joke, “Ford asking Rockefeller to be VP is like asking Morris The Cat to guard the tuna
Some Exotic Localesalad.”
Rockefeller was an extremely wealthy man. We know this be-cause, duh, he was a Rockefeller. He divorced his first wife Mary in 1962 after an affair he was having became public knowledge, leav-ing her the 30-room apartment on Fifth Avenue, and married the other woman, Margaretta “Happy” Murphy, who was, pre-dictably, much younger than the first wife. The divorce killed any chance of Rockefeller becoming president.
As for Albany, I don’t go there to sightsee, though I’m quite certain there are magnificent at-tractions in Albany, somewhere. I go for the annual National Albany Rotisserie Baseball League draft, which was held for 26 years in a seedy neighborhood bar named the Orchard Tavern, a sports bar with greasy food and giant televisions. Our league members loved it.
Two years ago, though, as we stood outside freezing, waiting for the draft to begin, it occurred to us no one was inside. We waited for three hours, though the draft was supposed to start at 8 AM (don’t worry, we have a strict no drinking policy until 9 AM).
Finally it dawned on us that no one was coming to let us in.
After 26 years we were tossed aside like, well, like Nelson Rockefeller’s first wife.
Now we go to Maggie’s, a sports bar with greasy food and giant televisions in an equally seedy part of town. The only difference is they specialize in clams and seafood, which defies all logic. It’s not as if people travel from all over the world to sample Albany clams.
The 20 or so guys (and one lady, Sue) who gather at Maggie’s try to be cordial to each other, but this is a big money Fantasy Baseball League and the truth is we spend eight hours trying to make each other miserable while we draft our teams.
One annual highlight is our bathroom break at 11 AM. Ev-eryone rushes to the facilities simultaneously though only one person can use it at a time. Sue always moans, “I hate waiting on line.” That’s her joke – she is usually the only woman in the bar and thus has the ladies room to herself. But if one of the guys tries to use it she runs up to the owner and tells him there is a pervert in the ladies room expos-ing himself.
Rockefeller eventually tired of feeling Happy. On January 26, 1979 he died of a heart attack at the age of 70. It was said he was in
his office working on a book, but eventually the story broke down. Nelson Rockefeller died in the saddle in his midtown townhouse. Underneath him was his 25-year-old assistant.
The Sag Harbor Whaling Muse-um has a jawbone of a Killer Whale arched around the front door. In my very first newspaper column for the Sag Harbor Herald I wrote that it was the jawbone of Paul Sidney, the loquacious WLNG radio personality. I couldn’t believe the hate mail that followed (even then they knew). I sought out Sidney and apologized. “I loved it!” he said. “Keep the jokes coming, just make sure you spell my name right!”
My sister kissed Nelson Rockefell-er right there, by Sidney’s jawbone. We have a home movie of it. Her name is . . . wait for it . . . “Happy.”
I’m lying.Happy wasn’t related to my
branch of the Murphy clan, be-cause no one in my family is happy. In fact, my uncle’s name is “Clinically Depressed Murphy” and we fondly refer to my little nephew as “Mr. Morose.”
Someday, I promised Karen, I will take her on a luxurious vaca-tion in some exotic locale. But I didn’t tell her it would be Albany. I want to surprise her. “Try the clams,” I’ll tell her.

Fleming Forwards Farmer Inclusion
What, no farmers? Formed in 1970, the Suffolk County Planning Commission includes representation from environmental organizations, organized labor, and experts in transportation, workforce housing
and municipal planning. The list of stakeholders is mandated by the county charter.
This week South Fork Legislator Bridget Fleming announced legislation designed to add ag into the mix. She’s looking to amend the charter to require the commission inc lude at least one member with background or expertise in agriculture, and at least one member be representative of the business community.
“Agriculture has always been a vital piece of Suffolk
County’s identity. The agricultural industry is both an economic driver and a source of pride, especially on the East End,” she said, announcing the measure. “It is critically important that we have a mechanism in place to protect our farms County-wide as we make development plans for the future.” The Peconic Land Trust and the Long Island Farm Bureau both submitted written statements to the whole legislature in support of Fleming’s resolution.
The Suffolk County Planning Commission eyes development from a regional standpoint. Its members reviews site plans and zoning actions meeting certain jurisdictional requirements and make land use and planning policy recommendations to the county’s towns and villages.

Whether planting a garden, enjoying the beauty of your landscape or sitting down to a delicious meal, you have bees, butterflies and other pollinators to thank. These essential members of our ecosystem are responsible for much of the food and beauty we enjoy each day.
Unfortunately pesticides and habitat loss are threatening their existence. There is something you can do to help. Turn your garden, backyard, or balcony into a pollinator’s habitat.
Plant a variety of flowering plants that provide nectar and pollen throughout the season. Planting masses of natives, herbs and other pollinator favorites like sedum, zinnias, alyssum, cosmos, and columbine will attract these beauties to your landscape. Include a variety of day and night blooming flowers in a variety of colors and shapes to support the widest range of pollinators. But don’t let a lack of space dissuade you; even a window box of flowers can help.
Keep your plants healthy and

blooming with proper care. Match the plants to the growing conditions, provide needed water, and fertilize with an organic nitrogen fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite.com) when needed. You’ll promote slow steady plant growth that is less susceptible to drought and pests. Plus the slow release low nitrogen won’t interfere with flowering, which is essential to the health and well being of our pollinators.
Supplement pollinators’ diets with a bit of rotten fruit. And be sure to provide trees, shrubs, parsley, dill and other plants that caterpillars, grubs and the immature stage of other pollinators prefer to feed upon. Put away the pesticides and tolerate a few holes in the leaves of their favorite plants.
With a diversity of plants you can easily overlook the temporary leaf damage. Plus, this is a small price to pay for all the benefits they bring to the garden.
Provide pollinators with shelter from predators and the weather. Include a variety of trees, shrubs, and perennials. Leave patches of open soil for ground nesting bees and some leaf litter to shelter some butterflies, bumblebees, and other pollinating insects. Supplement natural shelter with commercial or homemade nesting boxes. You’ll find do-it-yourself plans on the Internet from various educational sources.
Puddles, fountains, birdbaths and even a damp sponge can provide needed water. Include water features with sloping sides or add a few stones to create easier access. Or sink a shallow container of sand in the ground. Keep it damp and add a pinch of sea salt for the butterflies and bees.
Maximize your efforts by teaming up with your neighbors. Together you can create a larger, more diverse habitat that provides
pollinators with the resources they need to thrive.
Your efforts will be rewarded with greater harvests, beautiful flowers, and colorful birds and butterflies visiting your garden.

Landlords of East Hampton, have no fear.
Kyle Herman is here, and he’s making the town’s newly adopted rental registry regulations easier for everyone.
In December, the East Hampton Town Board voted unanimously to adopt the new legislation, despite the uproar from local landlords and renting residents alike. Most were upset over the fact that they, as landlords, had to register their respective properties with the town before the summer season, crossing all their t’s and dotting all their i’s, an assumed daunting, arduous task.
But Herman, an Amagansett resident and political science lecturer at Rutgers, saw it as a challenge.
“A little-noticed aspect in the
hone in to homeXdebate about East Hampton Town’s newly approved landlords’ registry is that even after it goes into effect . . . the town’s rental laws will remain among the most generous on eastern Long Island,” Herman wrote on his newly-launched website, www.homexregistry.com.
“You would hardly have thought so if you were to have judged solely from the protests at Town Hall by those who have openly embraced illegal practices and were outraged — outraged — that they might soon have to comply with longstanding regulations that had failed to control turnover, excessive occupancy, and multiple short-term leases that have been increasingly abetted by a care-nothing online marketplace.”
And therein lies the hatching of HomeX.
Herman said he saw the need to help locals out. By visiting his website, property owners can start the registration process with just a few clicks.
Via Herman’s efforts, HomeX will have a professional home inspector look over the property, verify and notarize the necessary registration forms, check off all the codes (we all know the drill, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, alarms, pool gates), and file the paperwork with the town.
“HomeX s t r eaml ines the rental registration process for homeowners, real estate agents, and rental companies,” according to the website, providing “a turnkey solution to a painstaking and time-consuming process at very little cost to the homeowner.”
Those who already have a certificate of occupancy and are already in compliance with town building and safety laws, may choose “standard” when registering through the website. It costs $300 and is inclusive of town fees for two years. Not sure of the information required for the home? Choose “premium” and set up an appointment with the company’s in-house inspector or architect. Premium is $650 and is
also inclusive of town fees for two years.
Turnaround is usually between two and three weeks.
W h i l e t h e r e g i s t r y w a s implemented a little over a month ago town officials are giving potential landlords until May 1 to comply. After that, the requirements outlined in the legislation will be enforced and those renting unregistered properties will be subject to fines of up to $15,000, or potential jail time.
For Herman, launching the website seemed like a no-brainer.
“I have a vested interest in public policy,” he said. “It’s a fun project for me. I saw a reason for the law and saw a lot of locals upset about the law.”

Insight

The Jam That Wouldn’t DieThere was a time, not terribly long ago, when savvy South Forkers knew when to
travel, when a trip upwest or a trip here might be less painful. A Tuesday afternoon, a Wednesday morning and it was clear sailing in both directions. Thursdays could be tricky, but you could still find a window. Fridays and Saturdays heading east was a no go; Sunday mornings heading west, a bad idea. Mondays, east was okay, west could be slow. Drivers knew the drill, knew the backroads, could avoid congestion and were comforted in the knowledge that after Labor Day all the road pain would end.
Who knew those were the salad days? Fast forward a decade or two to the present, and there’s no telling what kind
of traffic one might face during most of the year. One accident on County Road 39, as happened last week, could back eastbound cars up all the way to Westhampton, sending westbound traffic up into the golf course detour, a labyrinth of residential side streets.
This week, kudos go to Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman for taking the wheel and making an effort to ameliorate morning rush congestion on County Road 39, with the flashing lights pilot project we discuss in our cover story.
This isn’t Schneiderman’s first rodeo. At The Independent office, we recall a Friday afternoon years back pouring over the then-county executive’s 2005 capital project plan with the then-legislator. We discovered Steve Levy’s document postponed adding a lane to CR39, pushing it back for years. No one in town government knew of the plan.
A full court press at the local level ensued and the success of the “cops & cones” pilot project turned up the heat. A $70 million, multiyear project was reworked and revised and additional lanes were created.
Relief was short-lived and now Schneiderman’s back at a drawing board looking for a new answer to a problem that every year seems to worsen. His out-of-the-box vision sounds exciting, but could take years to realize.
In the meantime, personal jetpacks, anyone?
Seeing DoubleTo The Editor,
Supervisor Larry Cantwell is quoted in Monday’s (3/28/16) NY Post saying that “Public access to the beach is a paramount issue” at Truck Beach. Apparently that principle does not apply at South Flora Beach, where there is no viable public access because Mr. Cantwell and the other Democrats on the Board have decreed no
parking on Dolphin Drive, the only adjacent feasible parking available.
Why the double standard? Might it have anything to do with the wealthy homeowners association next door?

appalled and enragedDear Editor,
As a former Southampton resident, retired educator, having taught in Nassau County for thirty eight years, and of Italian - American heritage, I am appalled, dismayed and frankly, enraged to learn that the Southampton School District is
considering abolishing Columbus Day and replacing it with Indigenous Day !
This proposal is wrong on so many levels, therefore, I am compelled to voice my opposition to abolishing Columbus Day with Indigenous Day.

state races. His un-American campaign of political violence and hooliganism is reminiscent of 20th century Nazi and Communist dictators.
In the Republican primaries Trump is averaging 35% of the vote. If Trump was up against one other candidate, polls show he might get another 10% of the vote. History reveals primary candidates receiving less than 50% of the vote will lose the election for President.
The U.S. electorate comprises 26% Republicans, 30% Democrats, and 44% Independents. Polls show Trump garnering 70% of the Republican vote, or 18% (30% voting other); 5% of the Democratic vote, or 1.5%; and 40% of the Independent vote, or 18%, giving him 37.5% of the total vote.
Clinton will receive few Republican votes; 95% of the Democratic vote, or 28.5%; and 60% of the Independent vote, or 26%. This gives Clinton 54.5% of the total vote, Trump 37.5%, and the remaining 8% are write-ins or blank ballots.
It is a Trump Wrecking Ball. The integrity of the Republican Party and the dignity of the presidency is at stake.

Ban The BagsDear Editor,
Suffo lk can help c lean up our environment and save countless animals by banning single-use plastic grocery bags.
According to Rebecca Hosking, who made the riveting documentary Hawaii:
Message in the Waves, plastic bags often end up in our oceans, where they can remain for years. More than 100,000 birds, sea turtles, dolphins, and other marine animals are killed every year after they mistake floating plastic bags for food and eat them.
Paper bags aren’t an animal- or environmentally friendly choice either. The National Co-op Grocers Association estimates that 14 million trees are used
annually to make paper bags for Americans. When forests—which absorb greenhouse gases—are cut down, wildlife habitats are destroyed and animals are displaced.
Fortunately, reusable tote bags are a humane, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly option. Check out Ingrid E. Newkirk’s book One Can Make a Difference for more information and tips on how you can help animals and the environment.

Has the extra hour of daylight affected you?
Herme BarbagalloOh, I absolutely noticed it. It doesn’t reallyaffect me like some people. I don’t getdepressed in the winter when it gets dark soearly. But there’s no denying that it’s nice whenit’s seven at night and it’s still light. And there’sno denying, this winter we got off easy.
Georgia DiNardoWhen the clock first changed I was getting upat 6 AM and was extremely tired. I had a hardtime waking up for a few days when the timechanged. But now the days feel longer, in agood way, and there’s more sunlight at the endof the day. That definitely feels good.
Mike DiNardoI felt the effect of it from the end of Decemberwhen you get a minute more of light as everyday goes by. I’m sensitive to light and thoseshort winter days really affect me. So gettingthat full hour of daylight savings time was like abig bonus.
Justice AndersonIt makes me feel happy that at least it’s notdark so early anymore. And I like to visit thebeach every day, so when I go later in the day,it’s much lighter than it was just a short whileago.

Millions of baseball fanatics all over the world will be drafting their fantasy teams in the coming days. If you want to win, it is essential you don’t “pay retail” for every good player on your roster. You must find some diamonds in the rough to survive.
Theoretically, a draft is designed so all of the teams in it come away with the same amount of raw talent. Let’s take a 12 team league with a snake draft: that means the team that picks first in round one picks last in round two and so on. If each team selected the next player in the queue and every player performed exactly as he did the previous season, all of the teams would end up with about the same amount of points.
Of course, this could never happen – player’s stats fluctuate from year to year. But one thing is certain: a Player’s ADP (Average Draft Position) is not an absolute. It can fluctuate wildly according to circumstances.
Let’s take Trevor Story, the Rockies shortstop. Two months ago he wasn’t even on the list – he was
Move Up To Get The Best Playersslated to begin the season in the minor leagues. Then the veteran shortstop Jose Reyes was charged with spousal abuse: Story moved up to the top 600 players. Then Story began hitting the hell out of the ball in spring training: he moved up to 400. Then the Rockies announced they would suspend Reyes until after his trial. Still, Story was ranked number 238 Sunday when I drafted him, the 21st shortstop taken.
I pounced in Round 15 and got him at number 182. Why? First, MLB has adopted a strict new policy about spousal abuse, which means Reyes faces a lengthy suspension. Second, Reyes is pleading innocent, and his trial hasn’t even started yet. Mostly though, Story plays in Colorado, a hitters’ paradise, and he is mashing the ball.
There are many more bargains out there. Drew Storen was one of the best closers in baseball last season until the Nationals stupidly traded him for Jonathan Pappelbon. This year they traded Storen to Toronto. The Blue Jays had a good closer, but he was 19 years old. Nevertheless, Storen was listed as
his back up. I got him in the 23 round a few weeks back, Guess what – he’s now the Toronto closer and a top 150 pick.
As a general rule young guys are underrated. Luis Severino was the Yankees’ best pitcher during the second half of last year; he is rated number 242 (20th round) this year, the 64th starting pitcher. Take him a couple rounds earlier. Steven Matz, the Mets’ pitcher, is ranked number 164. He’s better than that: move him up. Ditto Raul Iglesias.
One cardinal rule: NEVER go on autodraft and let the system pick for you. That’s because ADP is a cumulative stat: it takes into account every single draft. That means if a player breaks his leg tomorrow and is out for the season he will maintain a good ADP though
it will gradually fall. It also means if you are on autodraft you’ll get stuck with him while everyone else is avoiding him.
Now is the time when major league teams make their final cuts and pick the 25 players who will be on the opening day roster. Some veterans will get cut; some rookies will earn starting jobs. Adjust accordingly.
Don’t go crazy with minor leaguers; it’s okay to take one or two at the end of the draft provided the player is really, really good and major league ready – that is, has played in at least the AA minor league level and is mature enough to handle the big time. One such player is Jose Berrios of the Twins, who I believe will be pitching in the majors within a month or so.

may see a lot more action. The US Open is taking place at Shinnecock Hills in 2018. Southampton Hospital is moving to the LIU campus and an effort is underway to entice more students to the school. Consideration is being given to re-opening the train station. “I want to prepare for a time when that intersection is even busier,“ Schneiderman said. “An underpass could handle movements quickly and safely.”
The supervisor believes as many as 10,000 vehicles travel through that intersection during peak
morning rush. Most of the South Fork’s workforce lives west of the Shinnecock Canal, Schneiderman observed. Some 82 percent of Southampton Town employees travel to work from west of the canal, some coming from as far away as Port Jefferson, Huntington, and Northport. That’s just town workers.
The blinking light pilot program will cost the town approximately $6000 to cover the cost o f additional Southampton Town Police assistance in implementing the program and assuring motorist sa fe ty. The Suf fo lk County Department of Public Works will assume other costs associated with the pilot program.
