So when things hit the fan in Fire Island Pines over Fourth of July Weekend, I knew that our publication had to respond – not with the shaming and exploitation that so many media outlets indulged in, but with compassion for the many residents who love where they live, and have done the right thing all along. I’ve witnessed similar incidents where I live on Fire Island this summer, and have friends in nearby communities who have the same laments. Fire Island Pines simply drew the short straw. However this summer such behavior is not only annoying, but also dangerous. We all must be more responsible neighbors, visitors and hosts. In this issue reporter Laura Schmidt examines what went wrong, and how things might be done better. On our website, Mariana Dominguez explores how the ferry companies that service Fire Island are contending with this subject – where are they getting it right, and where is there room for improvement? On the topic of things that are unmasked, Emma Boskovski strips away facades as she continues with her “Fallen Idols of Fire Island” series. Then there is Hugh O’Brien who briefly set aside his Saltaire columnist mask to bring us “FiFlix,” something new that we hope you will enjoy. Victor Hugo once famously wrote, “Virtue has a veil, vice a mask.” In some other context, this may be true. Yet under present circumstances everyday heroes really do wear masks.

A Hampton Bays Montauk Highway Corridor (Hamlet Centers) Study is anticipated to commence in the near future. A review of Hampton Bays history and an inventory of hamlet heritage resources is considered a necessary component in order to help insure orderly and coordinated development within the Hamlet of Hampton Bays in a manner that respects community character. Hampton Bays United, a consortium of community organizations, spearheaded the initiative to complete a historical profile for Hampton Bays and a survey of hamlet heritage re- sources. The 2000 Hampton Bays Hamlet Center Strategy Plan adopted as an update to the 1999 Comprehensive Plan was limited to an area from the railroad bridge tres- tle on Montauk Highway near West Tiana Road (westerly border) to the Montauk Highway railroad bridge near Bittersweet Avenue (easterly border.) Shortly, the De- partment of Land Management will be preparing a “Hampton Bays Montauk High- way Corridor Land Use/Transportation Strategy Study” which will span the entire length of Montauk Highway from Jones Road to the Shinnecock Canal.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Hamptons became one of the most significant meeting grounds of like-minded artists, who gathered on the beach, in local bars, and at the artist-run Signa Gallery in East Hampton (active from 1957-60). It was an extension of the vanguard artistic activity happening in New York City around abstraction, which constituted a radical re-definition of art. But the East End was also a place where artists were freer to experiment. For the second time, Eric Firestone Gallery pays homage to this rich Lee Krasner, Present Conditional, 1976 collage on canvas, 72 x 108 inches and layered history in Montauk Highway II.

These stations are located in Speonk, Westhampton, Hampton Bays, Southampton and Bridgehampton1. The train station stops at Quogue and Southampton College were discontinued in 1996 by the LIRR reportedly due to low ridership. Water Mill was previously closed. The entire Long Island Rail Road Service Map is shown in Figure B-1. Service on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) is summarized in Table B-1 and B-2.

  • Reservation Prices: an Economic Analysis of Cigarette
    Reservation Prices: An Economic Analysis of Cigarette Purchases on Indian Reservations1 Philip DeCicca NBER & Department of Economics McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada [email protected] Donald Kenkel NBER Department of Policy Analysis & Management Department of Economics Cornell University Ithaca NY 14850 [email protected] Feng Liu School of Economics Shanghai University of Finance and Economics Shanghai 200433, China [email protected] April 2013 1This research was supported by # R21 CA131600-01A1 from the National Institutes of Health. We thank Daniel Kenkel for excellent legal research assistance. ABSTRACT The special legal status of Indian tribes in the U.S. means that state excise taxes are not necessarily collected on cigarette purchases on Indian reservations. We focus on two under- studied but basic empirical economic questions this raises. Using novel data from national and New York surveys that asked directly about cigarette prices and purchases from reservations, we first ask: What is the economic incidence of the tax break? In national data, we find evidence that the tax break is often approximately fully shifted to the consumer. However, the patterns are complex due to the variety of approaches different states have taken towards taxing reservation purchases. In data from New York over a period when the state did not attempt to collect taxes on reservation purchases, our estimates suggest that the tax break is usually fully shifted to the consumer. The notable exception is on one reservation where a tribal monopoly captures almost half of the tax break.
