UPDATE Jan 2, 2008:

Frederick Brewington, the defense attorney in the manslaughter trial of John White says he will appeal the conviction in the racially charged case.
It started with a rumor that Aaron White, a young black man had made sexual advances on a white woman. It ended with the death of a white teenager who came with friends to White’s home in Miller Place, Long Island late one night in August 2006.
The youth were confronted by Aaron's father John. A struggle ensued and John White's gun went off killing 19 year old Daniel Cicciaro.
As described by Attorney Brewington,
At the trial in Riverhead last Friday a jury with one African-American reported they were deadlocked. But Judge Barbara Kahn told the jurors they would be sent back on Christmas eve unless they reached a decision. The jury brought in a guilty decision for manslaughter late last Saturday night.
One juror has charged that he and another holdout were pressured into agreeing to convict according to a New York Times story
Attorney Brewington, says the jury was not sensitive to the racial issues.
Brewington says the jury discounted the justification defense.
Attorney Brewington says the verdict will be appealed.

It started with a rumor that Aaron White, a young black man had made sexual advances on a white woman. It ended with the death of a white teenager who came with friends to White’s home in Miller Place, Long Island late one night in August 2006.
The youth were confronted by Aaron's father John. A struggle ensued and John White's gun went off killing 19 year old Daniel Cicciaro.
As described by Attorney Brewington,
“…two cars came to their home at 11:30 at night, one of them, right on their driveway, with lights glaring at the front door, [they were] yelling that they should come out .. using the ‘n-word’ and saying that they were going to ‘f-ing’ kill them”Brewington says that as John White left his house to confront the young people he yelled to his wife to call the police, but she did not hear him. As he turned to go back to the house Cicciaro grabbed White's hand gun from behind.
At the trial in Riverhead last Friday a jury with one African-American reported they were deadlocked. But Judge Barbara Kahn told the jurors they would be sent back on Christmas eve unless they reached a decision. The jury brought in a guilty decision for manslaughter late last Saturday night.
One juror has charged that he and another holdout were pressured into agreeing to convict according to a New York Times story
Attorney Brewington, says the jury was not sensitive to the racial issues.
“The jury included one African-American man, one or two Hispanic women, and the rest happened to be white individuals. The jury pool in Suffolk County, unfortunately, is not that diverse and it makes it very difficult to be able to select a juty which includes a good cross section of the ‘racial rainbow’. So essentially, even though Mr. White had, as an Aftrican-American man, experienced outright racism, and feared for his life and that of his family and the fact that his family members in the South had been lynched, burned out of their homes, and he had that fear and knowledge in his heart that very night; this jury was not able to be sensitive enough, unfortunately, to those real concerns. ”
Brewington says the jury discounted the justification defense.
“He [White] was justified into going out of his house to try and thwart what appeared to him to be a lynch mob, coming to his home to threaten his wife and himself and to kill his son as they indicated they were going to do. That justification ‘charge’ was part of the overall charge to the jury for their determination. They negated his experiences, this thoughts, his feelings and indeed his history by not allowing that justification defense to be fully aired in light of the claims and charges against him.”
Attorney Brewington says the verdict will be appealed.

Housing Opportunities
As we near the end of 2007 - some of us who are fortunate enough to have a roof over our heads - but who may be in need of a tax deduction - have three opportunities to help those whose roof or home are in need of repair.
Opportunity One:
Last Wednesday, members of the east end community and the Shinnecock Nation put a new roof on a house on the reservation just before the predicted rains and coming winter storms. The work was done under the auspices of East End Direct Action. If you would like to help pay for the costs involved, please contact Tony Ernst at 631-259-2482.
Opportunity Two: The Padoquohan Medicine Lodge, Inc. on the Shinnecock Reservation continues it's work helping folks on the 'Rez' with housing repairs. A home moved to Shinnecock last December needed up-grading and other projects will benefit from monies raised by contributions from the east end community. Address your tax-deductible checks to:
The Padoquohan Medicine Lodge, Inc.
P.O. Box 5078
Southampton, NY, 11969
Opportunity Three:
Buy a raffle ticket - the prize is a BMW auto- to benefit both the Padoquohan Medicine Lodge and the Hayground School in Bridgehampton. Hayground School is a private institution, many of whose students come from the 'minority' communities in our area.
For raffle tickets at $100 each - the drawing in June '08 - call Hayground School at 631-537-7068

Sag Harbor Affordable Housing
updated January 9
The Sag Harbor ZBA - Zoning Board of Appeals met Tuesday, December 18 at 4pm at Village Hall on Main St. The Bulova project discussion was postponed until the next meeting on Tuesday January 15. The meeting is at the Municipal Building on Main Street at 6:30 pm
The project, a plan by developers for more than 60 luxury apartments was discussed by the Sag Harbor Planning Board on Janury 3. The anticipated vote on the County's affordable housing requirement and the need for a formal environmental quality review (SEQRA) for the project was not taken.
The County has jurisdiction since the Bulova property is on a county road (Rte 114). However the Village can over-ride this requirement with a 'super-majority' opposed.
Those local teachers, fireman, police and other 'just plain folks' who would like to live near their jobs will be shut out unless the Village officials can be convinced that we do need affordable housing in Sag Harbor, not more weekenders' second homes.
A plan for low-cost housing CAN be developed using some of the land slated for this project.
Come to the meetings, hear what's going down and voice your opinion.

Issue of race permeates manslaughter trial
Joye Brown
December 13, 2007
You can't run from race at the trial of John White, a black man charged with shooting a white teen in the face in front of White's dream home in the suburbs. Given the reality of life on Long Island, it would be silly even to try.
Race permeates the manslaughter trial, as it does day to day life in Nassau and Suffolk - and not just because the region is one of the most racially segregated in the United States.
At the courthouse in Riverhead, you can see race as you walk into the courtroom.
Most whites sit on one side, most blacks sit on the other. Early in the trial, the Nation of Islam made an appearance; so has 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, and black and white members of local NAACP chapters.
You can hear race, from the prosecutor and defense attorneys, as they go about reading transcripts and questioning witnesses:
The word nigger - and please accept my apologies, but n-----, N-word and N-bomb just don't tell it like it is - was caught on 911 tapes, as a car of frantic teenagers carried their fatally wounded friend, 17-year-old Daniel Cicciaro Jr., to the hospital.
John White's wife, Sonia, said she heard the word coming from her son's cell phone; flinching, visibly, as it fell from her lips in testimony yesterday.
And a threat-filled transcript of a 34-minute-long instant messaging session between Aaron and another teenager offered as evidence yesterday included the word 13 times (with a "cotton picker" tossed in, for good measure).
You can even laugh at race, as many in the courtroom did yesterday when White's neighbor, Gary Greene, told how he approached police outside White's house the night of the shooting.
"I put my hands up," said Greene, a very big black man whose awesome house (judging from a photo projected onto a screen) has an awesome backyard pool. "I didn't want any misunderstanding."
Everybody in the courtroom knew what he meant.
"This case is the trial of the century in Suffolk County," Lucius Ware, 74, an NAACP official who has lived in Southampton for almost 40 years, told me during a break yesterday.
"The case is important to Long Island in the 21st century because we all know, instinctively, that things would be different had two carloads of young black men invaded a quiet neighborhood at 11 o'clock at night."
In his first published interview after the incident - with my former Newsday colleague, Paul Vitello - John White didn't mention race.
Neither did his attorney or the police or the district attorney's office, and Cicciaro's family mentioned, frequently, that Daniel had friends of all races. And yet racial tension doesn't just live, but thrives in the trial.
The cornerstone of the defense now is that John White was protecting himself, his property and his family against a lynch mob.
That's race.
The prosecutor, reading Aaron White's words from the IM transcript, more than once fell into a mimic of a black voice.
That's race.
And yesterday, the defense raised the racial animus and threats against Aaron White's life - from another teenager - as the reason White's testimony in the trial differed so much from his testimony before a grand jury.
That's race, too.
What didn't come out in court testimony was that the IM threats, according to a police document, "did not constitute a hate crime."
A teenager is dead, and it's hard to watch his grieving parents in the courtroom. A father faces a potential prison term; it's hard to watch his family, too.
A jury will decide what happens, but this much we know already.
The race issue, which divided Long Island before the trial - and has so divided this courtroom - will keep dividing neighbors, long after the John White jury goes home.

At that time the Planning Board will probably vote on the County's housing requirement and the need for a formal environmental quality review ( SEQRA) for the project.
Those local teachers, fireman, police and other 'just plain folks' who would like to live near their jobs will be shut out unless the Village officials can be convinced that we do need affordable housing in Sag Harbor, not more weekenders' second homes.
A plan for low-cost housing CAN be developed using some of the land slated for this project.

Game Theory and the U.S. Presidential Election of ’08
Scott Harris of WPKN's Counerpoint and Between the Lines:
Thursday, December 27, 2007
With pundits guessing who will take the early states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the analogy of the political horse race seems appropriate. Much of the corporate media, whether in print or in expensive, slick TV extravaganzas endlessly present poll numbers and examine the shallowest aspects of the candidates statements, personal histories and even facial expressions. Hillary’s wardrobe; Obama’s admission of using drugs as a young man; Edward’s pricey haircuts; Giuliani’s limousine rides for his gal pal during an extramarital affair and Mitt Romney’s false statements about how his father had “marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”
While President Bush and his co-conspirators in the White House daily shred new paragraphs of the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Geneva Conventions, many Americans gathered around the holiday table this year find themselves uneasy about the authoritarian path the Bush crowd has steered the nation down in recent years. A feeling that the United States has taken the wrong road, departing dramatically from our nation’s self-image as a leader in democratic values and human rights.
But, sadly, all too many Americans, caught up in the day-to-day grind, often working two or three jobs just to pay the monthly rent or their subprime mortgage, skyrocketing health insurance costs and rising college tuition payments – aren’t armed with essential information about the crisis their nation faces in advance of the November 2008 presidential election.
President Bush’s illegal and deadly war in Iraq, warrantless spying on American citizens, phony reporters on the White House payroll, the censoring of government documents on climate change science and the secret detention and torture of U.S.-held terrorist suspects followed by attempts to cover-up much of the wrongdoing through claims of executive privilege, stonewalling of evidence and the destruction of video tapes -- all this has an eerie echo of the Watergate era. But unlike Richard Nixon’s botched second rate-burglary and the subsequent cover-up that catapulted the nation toward impeachment proceedings widely investigated in the press -- the reality of today’s much more serious political crisis is by and large going unreported by the nation’s largest media corporations.
So while the calendar moves quickly to a new year, most Americans find themselves more fixated on the latest consumer gadgets and sports scores than on the political crisis gathering in Washington.
Sadly, even when the topic of politics does come up around the dinner table, more often than not these discussions mimic our media's obsession with the latest polls, who’s up, who’s down. Horse-race reporting on the ’08 election seem almost deliberately designed to prevent the stirring of passions within the average citizen. When faced with the choice of Rudy, Hillary, Obama or Mitt -- who really would switch the channel from Monday night football to see the next candidates debate?
But what if the choice was between devoting hours of attention to televised sports or saving our nation's democracy? If the U.S. media system were ever to miraculously awake from its deep coma, and replace their endless reports on Britney Spears and her younger sister’s pregnancy with detailed reports on the present threat to American democracy, maybe citizens would rise up to take back their country from one of the most corrupt and dangerous governments our nation has ever known.
What if Americans knew the number of lies and scandals chalked by President Bush and his cronies as well as they knew the record of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning? What if average citizens were as well acquainted with the positions of all presidential candidates on national healthcare policy as they are with NBA star Kobe Bryant’s stats on points scored per game (and the intimate details of his rape trial)? America would be a far different place and the crisis of our democracy wouldn’t be nearly so deep and so frightening.
If Americans fully understood the crimes that are daily being committed in their name by the gang of thugs in the White House, then impeachment would be back on the table and the presidential election of 2008 would actually force candidates to decide whether they are for the U.S. Constitution or against it. ________________________________________________________________

Game Theory and the U.S. Presidential Election of ’08
Scott Harris of WPKN's Counerpoint and Between the Lines:
Thursday, December 27, 2007
Like every year in the U.S., Christmas is a time when families travel hundreds or thousands of miles to be with one another on the most widely celebrated Christian holiday of the year.
While parents and children; brothers and sisters; cousins, aunts and uncles catch up on the news of the past year, job changes, births and deaths -- one of the staples of most American holiday conversations is sports: Who won the big game, which coach should be fired and favored teams to win the Super Bowl or NBA championship.
With the coming year in U.S. politics possibly one of the most important in decades -- press coverage of the early Democratic and Republican presidential primary contests has been predictably disappointing -- treating the competition as if it were a mere sporting event.
As Paul Krugman aptly noted in his New York Times column of Sept. 27th:
One of my pet peeves about political reporting is the fact that some of my journalistic colleagues seem to want to be in another business -- namely, theater criticism. Instead of telling us what candidates are actually saying -- and whether it’s true or false, sensible or silly -- they tell us how it went over, and how they think it affects the horse race.
With pundits guessing who will take the early states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the analogy of the political horse race seems appropriate. Much of the corporate media, whether in print or in expensive, slick TV extravaganzas endlessly present poll numbers and examine the shallowest aspects of the candidates statements, personal histories and even facial expressions. Hillary’s wardrobe; Obama’s admission of using drugs as a young man; Edward’s pricey haircuts; Giuliani’s limousine rides for his gal pal during an extramarital affair and Mitt Romney’s false statements about how his father had “marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”

WPKN Presents Indigenous Radio Nov 22: from Shinnecock and Beyond

At approximately 10:30 pm hear Rev. Holly Haile Davis and the singing Thunder Bird Sisters recorded at the First Universalist Church of Southold.
This program produced by WPKN/M on Long Island is being distributed by the Pacifica Radio Network along with programs featuring John Trudel and members of the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation in Connecticut.
Here is the complete schedule.
Native American Special - Mikki Presents Music and spoken word from Native Artists.
1opm - 2am:
Special Public Affairs Programming From Pacifica Radio Network
10 pm: John Trudell: 1980 Thanksgiving Address from the Pacifica Radio Archives; recorded by Burton Segall
John Trudell makes a Thanksgiving dinner address on November 30, 1980.
John Trudell is an acclaimed poet, national recording artist, actor and activist whose international following reflects the universal language of his words, work and message. Trudell (Santee Sioux) was a spokesperson for the Indian of All Tribes occupation of Alcatraz Island from 1969 to 1971. He then worked with the American Indian Movement (AIM), serving as Chairman of AIM from 1973 to 1979. In February of 1979, a fire of unknown origin killed Trudell’s wife, three children and mother-in-law. It was through this horrific tragedy that Trudell began to find his voice as an artist and poet, writing, in his words, "to stay connected to this reality."
10:30 approx
- Reverend Holly Haile Davis at Southold, NY
From WPKN, Bridgeport, CT - We present the Reverend Holly Haile Davis and the singing Thunder Bird Sisters of the Shinnecock Nation on Long Island. Music and stories from the gospel according to some Native Americans.
The program was recorded at the First Universalist Church of Southold, New York on January 14, 2007.
11 pm
Indigenous Politics: From Native New England and Beyond
episode 1) Trudie Lamb Richmond delivers a talk titled, "Oral Histories at Schaghticoke: Shared Stories-Shared Histories-One People."
12 pm
episode 2) Schaghticoke Tribal Nation appeal of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' unprecedented decision to strip them of US federal acknowledgment due to CT State Reps' unlawful political influence by powerful political interests.
1 am:
Reconsidering the Origins of Thanksgiving
Produced by Dr. J. KehaulaniKauanui, WESU, Middletown, CT.
What are the origins of the Thanksgiving holiday in the US?
Some Americans commemorate a harvest feast celebrated in 1621 at Plymouth between the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims. Then, there is the 1637 proclamation by Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop, who claimed the first official "a Day of Thanksgiving" to celebrate the colonists who massacred the Pequots at Mystic, Connecticut. These are two very different occasions, one an indigenous feast, and the other a white settler celebration of a genocidal campaign. How are these different narratives alternately celebrated and erased? How was the creation of Thanksgiving as a national holiday a way of solidifying American national identity? This show explores the politics of Thanksgiving with interviews that provide two very different perspectives. Join host Dr. J. Kehaulani Kauanui, and guests, Ramona Nosapocket Peters (Mashpee Wampanoag), cultural worker and artist, and Moonanum James (Aquinnah Wampanoag), co-leader of the United American Indians of New England, who hosts an annual "National Day of Mourning," on Cole Hill, MA, as an alternative.
At approximately 10:30 pm hear Rev. Holly Haile Davis and the singing Thunder Bird Sisters recorded at the First Universalist Church of Southold.

Kabot is New Southampton Town Supervisor
November 17
Results of the November 6 Town Board elections are in. After a re-count and a count of over 700 absentee ballots, Republican Linda Kabot emerged as the next Southampton Town Supervisor. Ms. Kabot received 4543 votes. James Henry the Democrat and Working Families party candidate trailed with 4490 votes while incumbent 'Skip' Heaney received 4041 votes. Independence Party candidate Alex Gregor received 775 votes.
Anna Throne-Holst (Democrat and Integrity Party) was elected to the Town Board along with Incumbent Nancy Groboski (Republican).
Ms. Kabot who has been serving on the Town Board will select her replacement on the board to serve until the next election.
James Henry launched a $25 million suit against Ms. Kabot charging that statements made in Kabot’s newspaper advertising were libelous. Kabot had cited Henry’s defense of the Bill of Rights as support for ‘flag burners’. The same advertisement cited his 2004 arrest in Florida at a polling place without mentioning that the charges were dismissed.

Friday Nov. 9: Commemoration of Martyrs Service
Dear Friends,
This Friday, November 9, at 7:30 pm, in the Miraculous Medal Church in Wyandanch, we will hold the Commemoration of Martyrs Service, started back in 1992. It is by this service that we remember all those Central American and South American persons murdered by graduates of the School of the Americas. Not only does this service help us keep those victims in mind but it serves as a send off to those who will travel to Ft. Benning, the home of the SOA, on the very next weekend.
It should also be pointed out that during that week end there will be a local demonstration in front of Peter King's Massapequa office. He is the only congressperson on LI who favors the continued operation of the SOA.
Check the web site spv.active.ws for full details on the King demonstration. Bill McNulty.

Town Board elections in the Hamptons are still undecided after voters
went to the polls on Tuesday (*).
The race for Southampton Town Supervisor saw incumbent Patrick Heaney place third in a four way contest. Republican Linda Kabot held a 70 vote lead over Democrat James Henry, but 684 absentee ballots will not be counted until next week.
Meanwhile James Henry launched a $25 million suit against Ms. Kabot charging that statements made in Kabot’s newspaper advertising were libelous. Kabot had cited Henry’s defense of the Bill of Rights as support for ‘flag burners’ and his 2004 arrest in Florida at a polling place.
The advertising did not say the charges were dismissed.
Democrat Anna Throne-Holst was elected to the Southampton Town Board along with Republican incumbent Nancy Graboski.
In East Hampton the race between Democrat Supervisor William McGintee and Republican challenger Bill Wilkinson is still un-decided with McGintee holding an 8 vote margin.
Democrats Julia Prince and Pete Hammerle defeated Republicans with
comfortable margins for Town Board seats.
Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy, was re-elected with most of the votes. Twenty five percent of eligible voters cast ballots.
Mr. Levy, who has become a national figure in the debate about
undocumented immigrants told Newsday the election was his ‘validation’.
