70th Anniversary

Plans to Re-enact the 1942 Nazi Landing in Amagansett By Dan Rattiner This is the 70th anniversary of that day in 1942 that four Nazi saboteurs bringing boxes of powerful explosives and sophisticated weaponry waded ashore through the surf to the beach at Amagansett intent on causing mayhem. It was a daring operation. A second one took place on a deserted beach at Punte Verde, Florida the next night with four more saboteurs. About a dozen more landings were scheduled for the rest of that summer of 1942, and they would have all taken place if the man who led this operation hadn’t betrayed these first four after landing with them at Amagansett. With a

seeds were planted for the capture right on the beach that foggy night because things went slightly awry. A 21 year old Coastguardsman named John Cullen, walking the dunes through the fog, stumbled upon the saboteurs burying their boxes of explosives on the beach, and was intercepted by the leader of the operation, George Dasch, who then, defying orders, decided not to shoot him dead. He instead threatened to shoot him dead unless the unarmed Coastguardsman accepted a $300 cash bribe—a lot of money in 1942—and promised he would run away and forget everything he had seen. Cullen accepted the money and did run away. But he immediately went to report his encounter to his superiors. There is a group of local residents who on this upcoming anniversary during the night of June 12-13, want to re-enact this successful landing through the surf, the meeting on the beach and the remarkable aftermath that night. The group will need to find a World War II coast guardsman’s uniform, the German

flood of saboteurs here, explosions would be crashing down bridges, blowing up railroad stations, railroad junctions, airplane factories, aluminum plants and even department stores that the Nazis knew were owned by Jews. The goal of it all was to terrorize the citizenry, cripple America’s economy, bring the United States to the bargaining table, and in the end make a treaty with the Germans that would allow Germany to take over the American government. With the Germans in power here, America would be part of the expanded Third Reich, which was already the master of Europe. There would be no more terrifying and crippling attacks on American soil after that. The capture of this first set of saboteurs took place five days later in New York City, but the

As you can imagine, this encounter on the beach is thought to have been a pivotal event in World War II. In the event, after the bribery, Coast Guardsman Cullen made his way to his home base, the Amagansett Coast Guard Station at the back of the beach at the end of Atlantic Avenue. When he reported what he had seen, his superiors at first did not believe him, but when he showed them the money he had been given, the Coast Guard moved into action. They called in the Army, the Navy, and the FBI, continuing this search for the rest of the day. They never did find the saboteurs. The saboteurs got away. But the Americans did find all the boxes of explosives and weapons buried on the beach where Cullen said they would be. Also, of course, the information about the Nazi landing was sent all the way up the chain to the top brass, to J. Edgar Hoover personally and even to President Roosevelt. It had been six months since Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt ordered military surveillance increased tenfold along the east coast after this happened. No landing would happen again. Meanwhile, in the thick fog, the saboteurs laid low in some bushes in a potato field just over the dunes not more than 200 yards away from those looking for them. Moving from this spot during the next four hours, they

slowly inched their way through the field to the north, heading in the direction of the Amagansett railroad station. They arrived there at 5 a.m., changed out of their uniforms and into fishermen’s clothes they had brought along and came inside and sat down in the lobby. When the stationmaster opened the ticket window for the day, there he found these four American fishermen—fishing had been lousy—to whom he sold four tickets on the 6:59 a.m. train heading to New York City. He had no idea what had preceded this. He had been asleep in the apartment upstairs. It was only later that afternoon that FBI agents arrived at the station and found wet clothes thrown in the bushes. And so they knew what happened. What is described above is the entire scope of the proposed re-enactment. It would last from 10:30 p.m. on June 12 when the dorsal fin of the German U-Boat with the Nazi swastika on the side rose up out of the ocean 200 yards offshore. It would continue with the sub’s sailors bringing out and inflating the rubber raft over the side. After that, four strong German sailors, armed with submachine guns, would climb down a ladder into the rubber boat, then help load the wooden boxes of explosives and the four saboteurs aboard. They would then row the men and their cargo through the surf to the beach, then row back out. The re-enactment concludes at 6:59 a.m. June 13 with the Nazis boarding the train at Amagansett heading for New York. In the end, on their fourth day in New York City, George Dasch gave a good deal of American cash to his co-saboteurs in a New

York hotel room, told them to have a good time and he’d be back, then he went to the local Manhattan FBI office where they thought he was a nut and refused to talk to him. After that, he took a train from Penn Station to Washington DC and appeared at the offices of J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI to turn all the others in. He claimed later that he intended to do so even before he and his men left Germany. J. Edgar Hoover argued—at the military trial of the eight men—that all of them had come with bad intentions and Dasch had only acted as he did to save his skin since he knew from his botched encounter at Amagansett that the Americans were after him. In the end, six of the eight saboteurs were put to death in the electric chair in a Washington jail within 60 days of the landing, and Dasch was convicted but because he turned the others in, received a sentence of 30 years at hard labor. The eighth saboteur, a man named Ernest Berger who had assisted Dasch during a part of this, was sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor. After the war ended, President Truman commuted the sentences of Dasch and Berger. The instructions were to give them each $50, put them on a military plane and fly them from prison to Berlin, where they would be escorted through the airport terminal and out to the street. They could do what they wanted after that, but they would never be allowed to return to America, and they never did. All the participants in this drama have passed away. George Dasch died an old man in his eighties in Germany. John Cullen also lived (continued on page 36)

Logo Blindness The Cow Says MOO, the Goat Says BAAH, the Cat Says ARF? By Dan Rattiner ARF, the Animal Rescue Fund in East Hampton unveiled a new logo this month. A picture of it accompanies this story. It replaces the old logo, which for the moment I do not recall, (and which is probably why they wanted a new one). The new logo is snappy, uplifting, and seen from certain angles, it bears a slight resemblance to the shape of the state of West Virginia. Look at it further though, and you see what it really is—a proud silhouette of a dog looking right and, in front of him, the silhouette of a proud cat looking the other way. This is the first time ARF has made a logo that includes a cat. Indeed, you can adopt a cat

there too. Truth is, though, ARF is best known as a kennel where stray dogs are brought in and kept healthy until someone adopts them. As many as 18,500 dogs and cats have brought joy to happy families during the 38 years of ARF’s existence. I think, though, in thinking this through, the people at ARF have made a very basic, although understandable mistake with this new logo. And I think it’s a common mistake. Think COCA COLA. You see the bottle, don’t you, you can treasure its rich dark color, love the flavor, hear it hiss when you open it, hear it fizz as it trickles over ice in your glass. COCA COLA has been embedded in our

minds as a really neat soft drink. It could even be the official soft drink of America. Certainly it is the most publicized drink in America. What you don’t think about, however, is what COCA COLA really means. Coca is a bean about the size of a peanut that the drink is made from and which was used to make cocaine, but the drink no longer contains cocaine. It did maybe 100 years ago. Cola stands for the kola nut, from which caffeine comes from. So what I’m imagining is the Board of Directors of ARF sitting around discussing what kind of new logo they should approve and not thinking for a minute what ARF exactly (continued on next page)

JOGGING, BIKING, BASEBALL...AMBULANCES By Dan Rattiner This article is about exercise and why I am not in favor of it. I favor long walks—sometimes I walk four miles and more. And I am in favor of stretches to loosen up the muscles beforehand. But—vigorous exercise—well, I take a pass. Last Thursday, I sat in Central Park in Manhattan for hour and a half writing a story for this newspaper on my laptop. Central Park is beautiful with flowers this time of year. It’s also beautiful with people engaging in all sorts of strenuous physical activities. They take their chances. Specifically from where I was sitting enjoying the sunshine, I could watch several teams playing baseball on the great lawn. I could also see joggers and bicyclists moving smartly along on the nearby road that

runs alongside the great lawn on the east. I could see Frisbee players, people playing basketball, people running with their dogs, and people skateboarding and roller-skating. Occasionally, while writing—I was writing about it being the 100th anniversary of our famous East End painter Jackson Pollock—I would look up and see one or another person whizz by. They weren’t bothering me and I wasn’t bothering them. Sometimes a cheer would be emitted by one or another of the baseball teams. These teams are in uniform with numbers on their backs and often included both men and women. At this moment, as a fat, middle aged man at second base staggered uncertainly under a very high pop up, a slender, pretty lady in centerfield raced in,

waved the man aside and dove recklessly through the dust and grabbed it just before it hit the ground. That was what the cheering was all about. Third out. The man seemed very grateful for the help however. I went back to typing. The next thing I noticed was an ambulance. It had come quietly up a walking path to stop just behind the backstop of the nearest of the two baseball games. Some paramedics got out and stared out to the field. At the far end, at the other softball game, a small crowd of players— all wearing green shirts with white numbers on them—were huddled around something on the ground by second base. Two policemen appeared from a police car that now pulled up (continued on page 22)

means. There are so many people involved with ARF, lots of supporters, lots of employees, lots of people on the Board of Directors. They say the word ARF all the time. Everybody knows what it means. ARF is to the Hamptons what COCA COLA is to the nation. It needs no explanation. “We should put an image of a cat on the logo somewhere,” someone must have said. “ARF stands for cats too. We don’t want to forget our cats.” “Hear, hear,” somebody with an English accent on the board says, stating his assent. “By Jove.” Well I’m making this comment up, actually, but I think you get the picture.

So here we are, with a dog and a cat logo and the word ARF. I dare say, (dare I) that many people are going to wonder how a cat got into something called ARF. Through a window

perhaps. Or maybe in the dog door. But no matter. ARF it is. If I were at that meeting, which I was not because I am not on their board. (I am a serial adopter of ARF dogs these past 38 years. It’s not a crime. It is, however an addiction.) But if I HAD been at this meeting, I might have pointed out the error of their ways. I might have suggested that the organization look for words that would spell out MEOW. Or KITTY. Add them to ARF. ARF and MEOW. I suppose I would be briskly told that ARF stands for Animal Rescue Fund and cats are animals too. To which I would reply WOOF, and then leave the meeting. WOOF as in Wizened Old Obstreperous Felines, I would mumble on my way up the aisle to the door. Now this is not the first time that ARF has been in the headlines trying to secure its image. There is the matter of Linda Scott, a matter which I suspect they would rather have swept under the rug, or picked up in a baggie and thrown in the trash before I tell about it. Well here goes. ARF is on Daniel’s Hole Road, a road that begins on the Montauk Highway and winds its way through the woods past the entrance to ARF and then shortly thereafter to pass by the entrance to the East Hampton Airport. One day, about 20 years ago, somebody at ARF, probably Sony Schotland who ran the place back then, got this idea that Linda Scott, a well known artist in these parts, should be commissioned to create a great archway sculpture that could straddle the private driveway of ARF where it meets up with Daniel’s Hole Road. People would drive their cars in and out through it. Now I got this story not from ARF but from Linda Scott herself, when one day back then she called me asking me to help her find a new home for her giant sculpture Stargazer, which we all know and love at its present location now along the side of Manorville Road as you begin to enter the Hamptons. Stargazer, she told me (and I had not seen it yet), was to be the sculpture that was supposed to straddle the driveway at ARF. She had designed it, she had spent her money building it, and now ARF didn’t want it. Frankly, when she told me the size of this sculpture—30 feet high—it caused me to forget whether she either had already put it up and now they wanted it taken down or she was about to put it up and now they told her not to bring it, but in either case, she was now stuck with it. I asked the obvious question. Why, after asking you to make this, are they telling you they don’t want it? “It’s not them that object to it. It’s the East Hampton Town Board, which owns the airport next door. They told ARF they wouldn’t approve it. Their problem with it was that it was so tall it could possibly interfere with low flying planes. At the very least, it would distract pilots trying to land there. It was sorry, no go. “What do I do?” she moaned. The end result of all of this came about due (continued on page 38)

Ambulances

(continued from page 19)

onto the path and stopped by the paramedics. People near me on the benches stirred. A terrorist attack? A man with a gun? Now I could see that there was a person lying on the ground by second base, but, oddly, the paramedics and the police seemed in no hurry to go out there. Finally one of the two cops looked at his watch and, with one of the paramedics, began to trudge across the lawn to that scene. Then the second paramedic and police officer got into the front seat of the ambulance, and the ambulance began to follow slowly behind the two others. Something bad had happened to somebody by second base, is what I thought. That was for sure. Wouldn’t you think they should be hurrying? I went back to typing. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, if you recall that day of Thursday, April 19. The temperature was in the low 70s. It was— urged on by global warming—just a wonderful summer’s day here in April in Central Park. After another 15 minutes, I finished what I was typing and saved it on my computer. Then I packed up my stuff and started the walk back to our apartment. I did look out onto the ball field as I went by. Out on the nearest one, the game was continuing on. At the farther ball field, the paramedics were pushing a gurney with some person strapped to the top of it over to the ambulance. None of the players were following along. They just stood around. But then I saw there was another ambulance stopped on the road that I would soon be crossing to head home. Its lights were flashing.

Next to it was a police car also with its lights flashing. Coming closer, I saw a whole group of people in jogging clothes looking at a woman in jogging clothes sitting on the ground. This new set of paramedics was attending to her. As I came closer I saw I would be passing in the street directly between her and the ambulance that had just arrived, and no one would stop me. So I got a good look at her. She was a good bit overweight. She had this glowing white tube of some medical thing in her mouth. I thought this must be some new way of giving somebody oxygen. I passed through the scene and headed across the street. As I crossed, I saw that up the road to the north no more than 100 yards from this earlier group was another group of people in jogging clothes apparently surrounding something. I could hear somebody in the midst of this coughing and struggling to breathe. Everybody seemed quite concerned. Then I saw they were around this second jogger sitting on the ground. As I was about to walk down the pedestrian path that leads to Fifth Avenue, however, I saw that still another ambulance with its lights flashing had come up the curb onto the sidewalk below and was now heading slowly up the walkway toward me. I’d have to move to one side to let it pass and so I did that. It came up pretty slowly, and it suddenly seemed to me that the paramedics in this ambulance was trying to get to whoever that person was up the street where there was no ambulance yet. I am a good Samaritan. I

would tell them as they passed that the new group was to the right, and the closer group, which they could clearly see, already had an ambulance. I raised an index finger as they approached, hoping they’d slow down and roll down the window. But they ignored me and just went right to the wrong fallen jogger. Dumb, dumb, I thought. I wanted to be especially careful crossing Fifth Avenue. A guy on a skateboard had been killed on Fifth Avenue the day before. Skated up to the back of a truck, grabbed onto a handle on the back and speeded up, then lost his grip and got run over by the taxicab following. Right there in front of the museum. Fifth Avenue had been closed from 79th Street to 86th Street for an hour, we had been told. We were downtown at the time. I have to say; I did feel bad about that poor fellow hit by the taxi cab. Like I said, walking is good. Keep your head up and obey the laws. Forget about this workout nonsense. But what about that guy lying by second base? Why had everybody approached so slowly? As I thought about it, it suddenly came to me. Dead. Just too strenuous. As I said, walking is better.

$50 a CUP How Coffee Beans Can Be the Big Hamptons Cash Crop By Mr. Sneiv So we grow some grapes and make some wines on the Island. That is great, but even at $20 a bottle, it isn’t really living up to our elitist standards. I was in Paris last year and I could not find a single bottle of a New York wine. Don’t get me wrong, I love the local wine, but I wonder if there is a better and more profitable use for our fertile land. As an example, a small village in Indonesia grows a red coffee bean that commands more than $600 per pound. A café in Paris sells the coffee for about $50 American per cup. The coffee is called Kopi Luwak. You might remember it from the 2007 movie with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman titled The

Bucket List. Near the end of the movie, on his deathbed, Freeman finally reveals to Nicholson that the “most expensive coffee in the world” he has been drinking is made from a coffee bean that is eaten, partly digested and then excreted by the common palm civet. For those of you that do not know, the palm civet is very similar to the common housecat. In some places they are even called “toddycats.” The civet eats the bean and digests the soft outer part, but does not digest the inner bean. The digestive juices of the civet add a unique flavor to the bean and at the same time removes the bitterness. All one has to do is follow the civet around, collect and separate

the droppings and “voila,” amazing coffee. The Hamptons is known for its celebrities and expensive tastes. All we need to do is convince some of the local vineyards to plow under their vines and start growing red coffee beans. I checked with Wikipedia and civets are not indigenous to New York but that is of no real concern. We all know that there are a lot of cats in the area. The shelters always have a surplus of cats. And I also know that there are some house cats in East Hampton and West Hampton that aren’t carrying their own weight. (continued on page 26)

TWO FORKS PERSPECTIVE FROM A FERRY BOAT By Dan Rattiner Sag Harbor is giving careful consideration to a proposal by some prominent citizens of this area hoping to start a summertime ferry service between Long Wharf and Greenport. The service would connect these two waterfront villages, the only two waterfront villages on the two Forks, by taking people from a slip in Greenport to a slip in Sag Harbor with seven or eight roundtrips a day. As I understand it, the service would be accomplished by a 53-foot catamaran with seats on board for about 54 passengers. Each passage across the bay would take about 20 minutes. The service would begin on Memorial Day weekend. The project is to be called the Peconic Bay Water Jitney, and it will be run as a partnership between Jim Ryan, principal

of Response Marine, and Geoff Lynch, the president of the Hampton Jitney. A Jitney will circle around through Sag Harbor picking up people who might want to use the service. One Jitney stop will be, if this is approved, at the Pierson High School, which has a huge empty parking lot in the summertime. People could park there and get picked up, or walk to the ferry. There have been at least three hearings at the Village Board about this proposal since the beginning of February. It’s been looked at from every angle. Will the tourists in Sag Harbor flee to Greenport leaving downtown Sag Harbor empty? Will those arriving from Greenport to the sights in Sag Harbor make up for it? (Probably.) Will Sag Harbor be overwhelmed with the need for more parking?

(A good question.) Will this pollute the bay? (It will be one more boat in the bay.) Why would we want to help some outsiders, not even from Sag Harbor, to make money from us? (Geoff Lynch lives in Sag Harbor.) Probably the most vocal person opposing the ferry is Pierce Hance, a former mayor of the Village. He directed his comments at the most recent meeting to the present Mayor of the Village Brian Gilbride, who indicated he is leaning toward voting for the plan. Hanse spoke as a former mayor might to a new Mayor, saying he thought Mayor Gilbride should want to know a hell of a lot more before going ahead with this. It’s probably good that the Village is looking (continued on page 26)

Potatohampton 5K Just Around the Corner by Joan Baum Now in its 34th year, the Potatohampton 5K Run—“open to all spuds, fries, latkes and hash browners,â€? as founder Dan Rattiner notes—will kick off Saturday, June 2 at 9 a.m. For those who’ll be running—about 500 of you—and for you 50 or so walkers, despite the cautionary adage of Ecclesiastes 9:11, the race will indeed be “to the swift.â€? Of course, the Bible means that despite strength, skill, wisdom—and speed—“time and chance happeneth to us all.â€? For sure, happenstance did hover over Potato -hampton in the beginning, when the race was 10K. And when professional stop watches hadn’t been introduced yet (the winner, a member of the French Olympic team, clocked in at 29 minutes, but “an adjustmentâ€? had to be made). And when no one considered that one of the two daily runs of the LIRR would go through the race route. “Just jog in place ‘til it passes,â€? Dan advised, as he handed out maps and instructions. Since 1978, preparations and conditions have been‌running smoothly. And Potatohampton has made benefiting charity a constant. This year’s recipient is Jordan’s Initiative, a nonprofit memorial foundation for veterans and their families (www.jordansinitiative. com). Established by Christian Haerter and his partner Michelle Severance, shortly after Haerter’s son LCpl Jordan Christian Haerter, a marine, was killed in Iraq in 2008, it comprises six programs (Family Assistance, Care Package Drives, Charitable Support to organizations such as Wounded Warrior, Wheels To Freedom, Operation: Garden Rescue and Wash For Our Warriors. It also supports an annual Community Spirit Award to a Pierson High School student. How did Potatohampton start? And why? It was over a weekend, 34 years ago, Dan recalls, when a runner, a New York City detective—“in plain clothesâ€? (no running shorts) approached him and asked, “Why don’t you have a race out here?â€? “What do I know!â€? Dan replied. “It would help people start running,â€? the detective replied. Dan “took his advice.â€? At the time, The New York City Marathon was attracting no more than 200 people, the Boston Marathon, more, but “there was nothing out here‌we would be the first.â€? And so he began to muse: how wonderful, to run along potato field paths, pass tourist attractions, the windmill, the general store, the bridge on Bridge Lane. But who anticipated the “high dramaâ€? that would ensue. Who knew about organizing such an operation, getting a permit, putting up a liability bond, having EMTs nearby, and water stops and bathrooms. And who would have imagined that such a large crowd would turn up in the parking lot where K-Mart now stands ready to sign up. At 9 a.m. when the inaugural race was to begin, people were still lining up to register. It was chaos‌until a “smart personâ€? on the staff took all the applications and “tossed them into the air.â€? OK, no problem. Crunch time—get ready for the firing of the gun. Oh? Who figured that enthusiasm was so great that no one waited for the firing of the gun. “They just all ran off.â€? Up Snake Hollow Road, north, then west down Scuttlehole, then south

on Hayground to the highway, across the railroad tracks. Luckily, foreseeing traffic concerns, Dan had contacted the police. Would they assist? Of course, they would. “They were terrific.� Only who considered that by the time the second person crossed the tracks, after the lead runner, it would be one and a half hours later, and that others would be straggling along well into the afternoon. Solution? Others: “you’re on your own.� But, he recalls happily, “we ‘nailed it� with the LIRR folks. They slowed down the second train to 5 mph, and honked loudly. Talk about community spirit. Potatohampton, The

East End’s answer to the couch potato: run, for fun. This race has come a long way in 35 years. Expect state-of-the art timing equipment and hundreds of serious competitors. Also the latest innovation—bottles of Hamptons Water. Register online at www.danshamptons.com/ potatohampton. Advance registration: $30, first 200 registrants get free race T-shirt. Day-of-therace registration: $35, starting at 7:30 a.m., race at 9 a.m. sharp. Categories: men, women and different age groups: 13-18, 19-20, 29 and up.

Ferry

(continued from page 23)

at this six ways to Sunday. It’s already resulted in a decision that this application should be amended to be just for a one-year trial to see how it goes. It’s been pointed out, particularly by Hance, that to have this go forward would require a change in the Village code. This newspaper is in favor of seeing this ferry service happen. It will be great fun to take the ferry. It will bring the two Forks closer together. It will benefit business on both sides and might draw people to come to each community because of the idea of broadening their experiences. Also, to a certain degree, it will relieve traffic on Shelter Island for cases where foot traffic would do just as well as car traffic. It will thus be a plus for the environment. There is a whole lot of water that flows through, around and up against the long shoreline of the two Forks. Except for Montauk, whose downtown was built one block from the ocean in the 1920’s, all of the downtowns on the East End were either built inland or with their backs to the water, with the waterfront industries blocking access to the residents. As industry in America died in the 1960s, many of these waterfront areas became eyesores. Anyone who has been out on a boat knows that when you are on the harbor, bay or sea, you get an entirely different perspective of what the world is all about. It’s an exhilarating and wonderful experience. A person’s cares and worries seem to float away during that time. I think it fair to say that our waterways are very under-utilized in this regard. This newspaper, in the past, supported almost all proposed water borne services for the public.

One summer about 10 years ago, the town of Southampton tried doing a shuttle service between the Bridgehampton School and the beach. It was discontinued for lack of passengers. That same year, the village of East Hampton created a shuttle service that circled the town and picked up foot traffic heading for either the beach, downtown or to a big underused parking lot in back of Reutershan Park. That service was also discontinued but this past year, it was revived again by an enterprising group of young men who created a free beach shuttle called Hamptons Free Ride that took people through downtown to the ocean beach and back. They made it pay by selling advertising for the sides of the shuttle and handing out leaflets for other retail services on the shuttle. This summer, they are expanding this service to downtown Montauk and we wish them luck. Ferry services are nothing new to the world. Just think New York Water Taxi in and around Manhattan, which was founded around 1990. There was a time, back in the 1880s and 1890s that paddlewheel ferryboats from Manhattan took passengers out through Long Island Sound to Shelter Island and Sag Harbor. They’d come Friday and leave Sunday. And they were known as the “daddy boats.� They were carrying white collar executives from Wall Street and other places to visit their wives and children for the weekend at their summer homes here. I’ve seen wonderful pictures of daddy boats filled with men in brown fedoras, waving hello to the crowd of women and children on the docks at Shelter Island waving happily back to them.

The Trustees are going to meet again about the current application on Tuesday, May 8 at 6 p.m. If they still don’t approve the application at that time, the ferry service will not operate this summer season.

Coffee

(continued from page 23)

When the coffee beans are ripe, we will sprinkle them with catnip and then feed them to the cats. When the cats poop, we will collect and separate the partially digested beans and then we will roast and package them. This is a win-win for everyone. The vineyards will quadruple their profitability, there will be no unemployed cats and the East End will be restored to its proper standing. Because the vineyards might want some proof before committing, I have harvested 20 pounds of beans from a coffee tree I have been growing in my yard in Southampton. I do not own a cat, but I was able to lease my neighbors’ cat for $60 a day. I have done a sampling and I must say Jack Nicholson was right in that the aroma and the flavor is just indescribable. So far the only problem that I have run into is that I have to keep giving the cat sleeping pills at night to bring it down from the caffeine high. I am hoping to get some samples and a market test in the Hampton Coffee Company in Water Mill, but so far they have not returned my calls. All over the globe, I can hear it now, “One Tall Hamptons Finest Brew, two sugars and a splash of soy—That will be $50.�

Matt Lauer Angling to Create Horse Farm

K. Laffey

By Sharon Feiereisen Early this year, news broke that Matt Lauer and his wife, model Annette Roque, closed on a 47.5-acre piece of ocean view land near their $15 million Water Mill mansion. Lauer and Roque, who are both avid equestrians, plan on turning the spread, which reportedly set them back less than the $10.5 million listing price, into a horse farm. Lucky for Lauer, following months of negotiations, it was announced that the “Today� show host will now be making $25 million a year, plus a signing bonus, quite a raise from his current $17 million salary. So, he should have plenty of extra pretty pennies to build the state-of-the-art equestrian center of his family’s dreams The property is located on a former tree nursery, confirms Enzo Morabito. Lauer hopes to erect seven spec homes priced from $4 million to $5 million, each with their own swimming pool. The television host plans on constructing approximately 50,000 square feet of buildings, including an indoor arena and jumping rings, and the property already boasts a farmhouse. Millions of dollars from the Southampton Town Community Preservation Fund were used to preserve the sprawling prime real estate space from development. Plans for the major construction were sent

out for the town’s approval about four months ago, but approval and future plans are as of yet publicly unknown. We do however know that back in 2005, Southampton paid $3.6 million to then-owner Alan M. Graham for the development rights to the approximately 30-acre Frankenbach’s Deerfield Nursery. An adjacent piece of land (about 10 acres), which was also purchased by Lauer, was washed of its development rights as part of the approval for a subdivision off Blank Lane in 1984. Despite possible construction hurdles, this

major sale and the corresponding construction plans point to the growing thought that the Hamptons’ real estate inventory is beginning to tighten up and that we may soon see a shift from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market. In fact, private equity honcho Marc Rowan, a co-founder of Apollo Global Management, just sold his 9,000-square-foot six bedrooms and 6.5 bathroom Southampton mansion for $28.5 million—the biggest sale of the year thus far. More interestingly still, while East Hampton has long been known as the major celebrity hub, Lauer isn’t the only boldface name to recently seal a deal in Water Mill. American Idol’s Jennifer Lopez is in contract in Water Mill and Dallas Mavericks basketball player Jason Kidd just closed on a $5 million home in the area as well. Now MSNBC is reporting that all over the Hamptons summer homes are starting to move again, and according to more than two dozen people they spoke with, all of whom are involved in the market, it’s starting to show up in the figures, with pending contract sales rising for five straight months across the Hamptons.

A Zoning Change Could Save the College laboratories, hospitals, radio stations or other not-for-profit projects. The Southampton plan was co-proposed by New York State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, state Senator Kenneth LaValle, and Southampton Town Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst earlier this month. Although the plan has not been formally adopted, as it awaits final approval from the Southampton Town Board, legislators feel very confident for the future success of the plan. “We have overwhelming support. There really is no strong opposition…local people support it and the State University supports it,” Thiele said in a phone interview. This action was inspired by legislation enacted in Ithaca, New York at Ithaca College and Cornell University, where the city wanted to preserve its educational foundation by setting aside land strictly for educational endeavors. The Southampton campus was purchased back in 2006 by Stony Brook University after Long Island University closed the campus down in 2005. In 2010 Stony Brook University rerouted many of the classes offered at the campus to its main campus due to budget restraints. Many feared that SUNY was considering abandoning the Southampton campus and selling the land off for a housing development. The new University 25 zoning classification will ensure that the campus is always dedicated to higher education. “It’s like a cat (the campus) in terms of its nine lives,” says Thiele. “It looked like it may close for good several times, at least twice for sure.” However, to coincide with the University 25 legislation, the University plans on reenergizing the campus with new buildings and an expanded curriculum. “The University supports the concept of maintaining the academic use of the land,” says Lauren Sheprow, a media relations officer with Stony Brook University, in an interview. The University continues to be “working on program building and expansion through its new Semester by the Sea programs in marine science,” she adds. The University plans to continue the education tradition in Southampton by building a $7 million marine science building, beginning construction this summer. Additional plans include offering an oceanography program this summer for high school students and reopening dormitories as early as September for students enrolled in the marine science program. “The college has been a fabric of the South Fork for over 50 years,” informs Thiele. “Not just because of the education if affords to locals residents, but what it means for the local economy.” Stony Brook also anticipates offering more graduate programs at the local campus as well. “There is a commitment to a college at this site. It has been zoned for a college, let us keep the college,” concludes Thiele.

By Robert Sforza For quite some time now there has been an overhanging question of what may happen to the campus at Stony Brook Southampton. However, earlier this month East End lawmakers developed a plan that will keep the campus in Shinnecock Hills strictly for higher education purposes. Recently, it was rumored that there were talks on possibly selling the land for future development. The new plan proposing a new zoning district, aptly titled University 25, requires that at least 25 acres be reserved only for development associated with higher education, such as instructional institutes, museums, theaters,

Quiet Partying in Montauk? regulation, including a bit of language that suggested that live music shall not prevail any later than 11:30 p.m. on a Friday or Saturday night, is not likely to go over well. Everyone in Montauk knows that a good night of karaoke at Liar’s Saloon doesn’t really heat up until midnight, that The Three B’s aren’t hurting anyone by pulling off a late set at the Montauket, and that the burlesque shows are... well, never mind. “At the end of the day, for

someone in their mid-20s trying to run a small business, it’s just another thing to do,” said Gardell, who will likely continue to oppose the legislation by appearing at the public hearing on May 3. In other news, a second proposal that would allow for sidewalk dining, was warmly received by the hamlet’s seasonal business owners. The new law, which addresses a use of public space, is based on a similar one already in effect in Southampton. “It was brought to my attention about two years ago by a lot of constituents, and the planning department has been looking at it for quite some time,” said Quigley. No public hearing date has yet been set for the outdoor dining provision.

By Kate Maier A proposed addendum to the East Hampton Town Code that would require business owners to obtain annual permits to host live entertainment on their premises has raised eyebrows and ruffled feathers among Montauk bar and restaurant owners. At a recent Chamber of Commerce meeting where town councilwoman Theresa Quigley presented the legislation­—it will come up for public hearing on May 3—businesses within the hamlet made it clear that they would prefer not to be tread upon by rules and regulations. The consensus amongst those who participated in the meeting seemed to be an opinion that the legislation, which Quigley said was crafted by town attorneys to address what was perceived as “a hole in our law,” was devised solely in response to the problem behavior of one particular business. The gist is that since the Surf Lodge has hosted a slew of wildly popular concerts that code enforcement officers and lawmakers have historically been at a loss to control via clear cut regulations, every gin joint that wants to legally host even a single night of G-rated karaoke within a 365-day span will have to jump through a rather large and cumbersome flaming hoop, courtesy of the town board. Considering Montauk’s proud status as an outlaw microcosm of East Hampton town, where rules are made to be broken, or better yet, not made at all, it seems only natural that bar owners are in a bit of a huff. According to Quigley, the new code would not address noise or parking, but the number of people who are allowed to “congregate on a regular basis” in cases where indoor or outdoor entertainment may arise. No “magic number” of congregants has been established, and as the code is written, that would be up to the discretion of the Chief of Police. Quigley acknowledged that “the Montauk Community did not like this at all,” fearing that they were being “regulated to death.” Arden Gardell, a partner at 668 The GigShack on Main Street, called the proposed changes both ambiguous and redundant, and opined that the code change was written “to address the problems of a certain establishment” that has worked with the town to settle problems before. Establishing a cumbersome law that would affect everyone would be in his words, “inappropriate.” While there would be no cost for an entertainment permit, each business would be subject to review by the town clerk.

Protecting Beaches and Waterways By Robert Sforza While many state legislatures and local officials last week praised Governor Cuomo’s $109.3 million state and federal investment for New York Works projects as the first step toward dredging, beach re-nourishment and other coastal erosion projects on Long Island, the timetable remains unclear as to when the federal investment will come to fruition. Of the six Long Island projects laid out by the governor’s plan, four are located on the South Fork: the inlet to Lake Montauk, the Shinnecock and Moriches Inlets and beaches in Westhampton Dunes. The New York Works projects anticipate the

state investing $22.65 million while leveraging the remaining $86.65 million out to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, completing the total project cost of $109.3 million. However, as to when the federal funds will culminate and synchronize with state funding “is still down the road,� informs State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr in an interview, as the federal government still has not appropriated the plan’s expenses. The governor’s plan is structured so that the state will cover roughly 20% of the plan, while the federal government will cover 80% of the remaining costs. Additionally, local South Fork governments have some money set aside

for these endeavors. East Hampton currently has $700,000 set aside for Lake Montauk along with the $6.8 million New York State has reserved for the project. Another example is the Shinnecock Inlet, where $11.3 million is designated for the dredging; the state will pay about $2.26 million as the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, the federal government, will pay the residual $9.04 million. Thiele, despite the federal governments slow pace, feels optimistic about the governor’s plan materializing in the upcoming years. “It’s a good step to leverage federal dollars, but we still need federal money.â€? The New York Works project is intended to get New Yorkers back on their feet and into the work force, while simultaneously strengthening the state’s infrastructure, though the project might not create a job before the end of 2013. The governor’s intended plan aims at dredging—the gathering up of sediments and disposing of them in order to keep waterways navigable­ —and on replenishing sand on beaches to address beach re-nourishment and coastal erosion. The beach nourishment in West Hampton Dunes is the only one of the four projects that is certain to move forward in the near future, since it is mandated by a court order. The project has a $5.5 million dollar funding line in President Obama’s 2013 budget, and if it is approved, the Army Corps could be awarding bids for the work in 2013, which could conceivably commence by the end of that year. If the president’s budget fails, the House already passed an alternative resolution that would still include funding for the beaches. However, the president’s and the House’s alternative budgets both include additional cuts to the Army Corps overall budget, as much as 25% over the next two years. Thiele believes the Army Corps will still begin work on the rest of the Long Island projects sometime in the next two years, perhaps with the exception of the Lake Montauk project. The project projected to be completed last is the inlet at Lake Montauk, because it is a new endeavor for Corps. “Montauk is the furthest away, being it’s a new project and will should require a study,â€? informs Thiele. However, the New York State Assemblyman advocates, the plan will offer a “permanent solution.â€? There seems to be two significant caveats that restrict immediate development. One, the fact that the Army Corp of Engineers’ budget has been decreasing over recent years due to less federal funding, and it is slated to decrease further in upcoming years. Second, in 2010 Congress passed a ban on earmarks (legislative provisions that direct approved funds to be spent on specific projects), which prohibits members of Congress from attaining direct federal money dedicated to local projects. However, in spite of the earmark ban, local representatives like Tim Bishop will continue advocating for federal money for local relief. “Mr. Bishop is continuing his advocacy for federal funding of erosion control and dredging projects for eastern Long Island, despite the earmark ban,â€? Bishop’s spokesman, Oliver Longwell, said in a phone interview last week. (continued on page 36)

Who’s Here By Susan Saiter Any aspiring dabbler who has ever taken an art class that left them with that sinking feeling of “Damn, I’m just not getting it!” might want to meet James Daga Albinson. But that goes also for folks, including those still in middle or high school, who seriously think the life of an artist might be for them. Beginner or advanced, Daga Albinson vows, “I can teach anybody to paint really well.” Whoa, anybody? Even someone who isn’t sure she or he was born gifted with talent? “You can teach anybody to get their point across and get pleasure from it,” he says. A Sag Harbor resident for 29 years, Albinson is an artist and teacher who takes the traditional, classical approach to instruction,. He turns out painters and sculptors who appreciate how the old masters approached their canvases and who understand how to go for the effect they want. However, the approach doesn’t leave out those who are going for more modern, less representational work. Albinson elucidated his teaching philosophy recently, looking entirely the artiste in black T-shirt and knit cap, straddling a stool in front of his own paintings, including one you can’t take your eyes off, an Impressionist oil called “Morning Waves, Montauk Point.” (He signs his paintings “Daga.”) “First they learn how to handle the materials—we get as basic as (no kidding) ‘What is a paintbrush for? Well, it’s for painting, not mixing paints!’” He emphasizes basic, technical skills and guides students on how to follow the timeless steps of traditional drawing and painting. Eventually, he encourages experimentation. “This method gives them control on how to use the materials,” he explained. “The representational stuff they do is like a puzzle. Then, of course, if you just stick to that, it’s boring, so you learn to manipulate the rules.” Enjoying the early-blooming, blossoming jump-started season as both a resident enamored of the East End and as an artist, Daga is starting his spring semester at the Hamptons Studio of Fine Art in Sag Harbor. Currently, he offers fundamental and advanced group classes. Prominent visiting artists are another feature of the school. This summer they include Ben Fenske, Melissa Franklin-Sanchez, Ramiro and Tony Rider. Ability in students is a huge plus, but Daga said attitude and willingness to learn and work hard are the keys for success in his classes. He won’t name names, but Daga has some celebrity students; however, he sees his real

need to fix that.’ They gave problemsolving before teaching technique... That just creates frustration.” A veteran of innumerable art classes, he finally began to find his way in the art world by recognizing that he loved the Old Masters. “I would stare at the paintings (at the Metropolitan Museum of Art), for instance at my favorite painter, John Singer Sargent, and ask myself, ‘How does he do that—make three brush strokes look like a hand?’” Albinson dug deeper into the root of his dissatisfaction with the classes, and it hit him—he wanted to go back to the basics. “I went through everything my students go through now. And I can see their relief when they get the right information.” He finished his BFA at the Long Island Academy of Fine Art, and brought those principles to the Stevenson Academy of Fine Art, where he became the apprentice of prominent artist Attila Hejja. “A very valuable lesson I took away from Attila was ‘share your knowledge.’” Albinson painted, showed (with super-star artists like Andrew Wyeth), and developed and refined his own teaching skills, landing the job of lead instructor and art director there. He got the enrollments to soar. In 2008, he became owner of the Long Island Academy of Fine Art, bringing it from a small two-room facility with under 40 students to its current enrollment of over 200. In 2010, he opened the Sag Harbor school. Not a fan of many aspects of the contemporary art world, which he thinks is often prone to finding accomplishment and genius where only flash-in-the-pan talent exists, his goal is to turn the East End into a flourishing artists’ community. He and his wife, Gitana, who runs a deli near town, and their daughters, Ava, 9, and Mia, 5, have hosted many students as residents in their home. “I teach them about the life of an artist.” In his own work, mostly Impressionist, he said, “I want to represent the Hamptons the way it is in my mind.” Of course, the East End is getting pricey for a lot of artists, but Albinson is trying to gather other emerging artists as part of the local community by opening up his house, hosting barbecues at the studio and introducing his students to them. But the eternal problem persists for working artists, “I have so many artist friends who moved away because they didn’t have enough money for a studio,” he said. But his school/studio on Bridge Street is acting as a magnet to them. “This is a place to hang out, an art community. I would love to capture the grandeur of the Hudson River School, make the Hamptons like that was.”

James Daga Abinson Artist and Teacher “You can teach anybody to get their point across and get pleasure from it.” role as bringing along young people who are driven by a desire to paint, draw or sculpt. He mentors high school students, as they put together their college application portfolios. He brings in recruiters from top art schools, and he said 95% of his students get scholarships averaging over $60,000. “I really do give my students one-on-one teaching.” A native of Northport and then Montauk, Daga was one of those guys in school who was always doodling or drawing. Getting to where he is now has been a sometimes tortuous route from student to artist and teacher that took an early turn into the School of Visual Arts in New York City. It was a sharp wrong turn, as far as he is concerned. “Nobody taught me how to paint there. Some teacher would come by while I was working and say, ‘That’s great,’ or, ‘You

Best Man Yesterday I was the best man at T.J. Clemente’s wedding in Patchogue where he married Cindi Braff. It was my first experience as a best man and it was my first experience giving a speech at a wedding. I have to say, being the best man at a

wedding is a great gig. You get to sit in the middle of the wedding party at the main table and look over everyone who is there, and you get to share much more intimately with the friend of yours who is getting married. Lately, I’ve had to go to a lot of weddings. I usually go alone, I usually don’t really have a good time, and I’m usually pretty happy to get the hell out of there. But when you’re the best man, weddings are a lot of fun. You feel like you are a part of the whole show and you also feel like you are this important guy, even though you really aren’t all that important. It’s kind of like being vice-president, you’re the wingman, the smile guy. I was ear-to-ear smiles at T.J.’s wedding.

Park. It was then that he began to see Cindi, who is a highly reputable psychic on Long Island and throughout the U.S. I nearly broke out in tears at the end of my speech. *** In 2009, I learned a pretty valuable lesson about the importance of risk in life, and I was just listening to a friend of mine in Southampton discuss the importance of risk. The topic of skydiving came up. For those of you who have ever thought about going skydiving, nowhere is there a better metaphor with taking risks in your life in order to enjoy it fully. I go through this kind of thing all of the time with risk, and a lot of times I don’t take them out of fear, but the ultimate result of not giving something a try is that nothing happens, which in my opinion is a risk in itself. I’m not suggesting going crazy and that everybody should take wild risks with things, but if you don’t take a chance every once in a while, it’s impossible to get the result that you want. Think whatever it is that you are doing or trying to do logically, think it through, and if deep down you know that it will most likely work out, then it’s worth getting over the fear. But let me tell you something, when I was falling out of the sky in 2009, and felt the earth pulling me down, praying to God that the chute would open, and then when it did, seeing just how incredible the world is from that perspective, and not just the view, but from the perspective of accomplishing something that you never thought you’d have the guts to do, you learn a lot. *** I sent an email to my editor Stacy Dermont, asking her what I should write a column about: Me: What do you think would make a good 20something column this week? Stacy: How about why you wish you were still a lifeguard in the Hamptons? Me: Isn’t it obvious? You sit there in the sun all day, stare at women in the ocean and once a week be a hero. Stacy: That’s great, but you are about 475 words shy of a column on this.

As we go to press we learn that Bay Street Theatre has gotten a ten-year extension on their existing lease on Long Wharf, Sag Harbor. This is exciting news. In the last few months, with the existing lease running out, Bay Street has said they will likely move their operation to the site of the old Parrish Art Museum on Jobs Lane in Southampton because they could not get an extension. The issue really was that they would need a long-term extension because fundraising for their operation cannot proceed properly with only short-term commitments. Who wants to back something long term only to find out it’s not there anymore after a year or two? Bay Street would have been good for Southampton. But it’s GREAT for Sag Harbor. Whoever changed the position of the landlord in this case should be congratulated. Bay Street has also told us that they will still be looking to buy something of their own so their existence can be certain for generations. But here is a ten-year window. Three cheers for Bay Street. —DR

HAMPTON BAYS

By Dan Rattiner Week of April 27 – May 1, 2012 Riders this week: 12,912 Rider miles this week: 103,443 DOWN IN THE TUBE Joey Gonzalez from Barry’s Boot Camp was seen on the subway between Bridgehampton and Water Mill. Our source tells us he is looking for a location for his famous workout studio here. He was sitting there, flexing. Also seen on the subway were Jay-Z and Beyoncé, looking fine, traveling from East Hampton to Amagansett.

Water Mill library has flung down her gauntlet to announce she will oppose Commissioner Bill Aspinall in the next election for Subway Commissioner. “Mr. Aspinall’s purchase of the New York City Subway System three weeks ago was a mistake I would never have made,” she said. “As Ben Franklin said when he founded Hampton Subway, ‘I Only Have One Life I Can Give for My Country’ and I am prepared to give that life.” Commissioner Aspinall says that he knows

of no policy that requires there be an election for the Commissioner’s post. Hampton Subway is a private firm and he was appointed by the Board of Directors who have the power to hire or fire him. He’s ordered that everything she says be expunged from the records, especially things she has said about him. COMMISSIONER ASPINALL’S MESSAGE The Commissioner is sequestered in New York City with Mayor Bloomberg again for a new round of talks about selling the New York Subway System back to the City. We are told the negotiations have taken an intense but delicate turn, is what the press release says. So there is no Commissioner’s message.

VANDALISM AT MONTAUK Graffiti artists dug a tunnel under the barbed wire at 2 a.m. on Thursday, gave Benadryl to the German Shepherds and spray painted one of our subway cars white with pink polka dots. What were these thugs thinking? This is graffiti? Commissioner Aspinall says he is going to take this car out of service until summer when he will use it as the lead car on the new beach spur which takes people from the downtown Southampton station to Cooper’s Beach. OFFICIAL BIRD New Marketing Director Carl Besmith, who last week came up with the sensational idea of producing a glossy pamphlet about the subway service, has this week announced, with the Commissioner’s approval, a contest to name the Hampton Subway official bird. Straphangers can vote for either the Common Grey Seagull, the Piping Plover, the Osprey or the Montauk Spotted Owl. Just write down on a piece of paper the name of the bird you wish to vote for and put it in the suggestion box on the wall at any subway platform. At the top of your entry, write the weird, wavy word you sometimes have to write when entering a new password on the Internet to prove you are voting only once. The weird wavy word is posted on a white card, a new one every day, just above the suggestion box. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Our best wishes go to Phillip Abelson, the softspoken motorman who guides one of the trains from the motorman’s booth every day for the evening shift Tuesday through Saturday. He is 54, six years from the mandatory retirement age. He’s agreed to come to the cafeteria to share the joy of the day. AGNES

By Joan Baum Sounds like a variant of “When I’m not near the girl that I love, I love the girl I’m near,” but Steve Hamilton, who is directing an unusual production of Uncle Vanya for 12 performances next month at the John Drew Theater at Guild Hall, says that The Sea Gull used to be his favorite Chekhov play until... Uncle Vanya. No doubt Hamilton’s reordering of his affections has to do with his decision to stage Vanya as “an intimate performance with limited seating”—approximately 50 people sitting onstage. No proscenium arrangement here, where the stage traditionally separates back curtain and orchestra pit. Just the cast and the lucky people who manage to snag advance tickets. “Run, don’t walk,” he advises. Chekhov, says Hamilton, has also always been a staple of his teaching, both as a private coach and via Skype all over the country, because the monologues and scenes encourage an enhanced appreciation of the text. He traces his particular decision to do Vanya, however, to an interview Charlie Rose conducted with the actor, Wallace Shawn and the director, Andre Gregory (My Dinner with André) about the short-lived, rehearsal-workshop Vanya they did on a bare stage 20 years ago, with actors in street clothes, and before an invited audience of only 12. But it was Louis Malle’s ingenious film about that experiment—its conception, development and performance—called Uncle Vanya on 42nd Street—that became memorable. In thinking about Malle, Hamilton saw a great opportunity to “let the play speak for itself,” though he’s eager to speak about the special pleasures such a production can offer. “Theatre often lacks authenticity...by design,” Hamilton has said, but “when two people on stage engage in an intimate scene about the most private issue and, for the sake of the audience in the last row of the mezzanine, they face front and yell what should be the most private of exchanges in order to be heard,” the result is often a “destructive stretch of faith” and of emotional truth. Certainly, the most important consideration was finding the right cast, “85% of a director’s job.” It wasn’t until mid-November that Hamilton was able to “tempt” the veteran actor Fred Melamed into playing Vanya, a man of middle age caught between disappointment and despair but not beyond ironic self-indictment. In addition to Melamed, the production also features Rachel Feldman, Herb Foster, Alicia St. Louis, Janet Sarno, Daniel Becker and Delphi Harrington. (Hamilton will also act, in addition to direct.) Of course, Chekhov lovers know that all of the dramas written by the good doctor (Chekhov earned a medical degree when he was 24, and went on first to write short stories) present challenges for a director, not least of which is choosing the right translation. Chekhov’s style—simple dialogue but full of telling repetitions, pauses, comic asides, sentimental outcries and non-sequiturs— has always seemed evocative of late 19th century Russia at a time when the hard lines between the classes were breaking down, and, in more recent productions, of a modern, moody disconnectedness. Hamilton says he decided on a translation by Paul Schmidt because it had the “most presence” as a text—“dutiful to the original story and with a “contemporary feel... an American tone.”

Uncle Vanya Coming to Guild Hall

Actors Delphi Harrington, Herb Foster and Fred Melamed (as Vanya)

He was particularly concerned about getting “intelligent and skilled actors” who would see the humor in Uncle Vanya—“the pathos speaks for itself.” Vanya is, arguably, a tricky play to stage well because of the invitation to succumb to its dark and sardonic—one might even venture cynical—moments. There’s the play’s quietly desperate last line, “We shall rest,” which comes in the wake of the dissolution of Serebriakoff’s estate and the dispersal of family and friends forever.

The earmark ban is also responsible for cutting the traditional source for funding Army Corps works projects, as most Army Corp projects begin on a local level. “For the second year in a row,” on a state level, “New York State has passed a transformative and balanced budget that holds the line on spending, while focusing on job creation and government efficiency,” Cuomo said in an official statement. The New York Works program intends to “reinvent economic development with innovative new strategy that will put New Yorkers back to work rebuilding the state’s infrastructure,” continued the governor in the same statement. The New York Works program has already included millions of dollars in funding for

work on local roads and bridges, as well as at several state parks. The governor’s program is designed to perpetuate his commitment to fiscal responsibility while still creating jobs and revitalizing communities, especially on Long Island. Under the structure of the current plan, $66.8 million of the total $109.3 million will be administered to the South Fork. If the plan happens under the current structure $34 million will be allocated to Lake Montauk, $11.3 million to the Shinnecock Inlet, $11.5 million for interim beach relief to Westhampton, and about $10 million to the Moriches Inlet; however, this all depends on when federal aid will arrive. Some projects will have to wait longer than others.

to be 90, passing away in Virginia in 2011. He was long considered, correctly, a war hero. For the re-enactment what will be needed besides the rubber boat, submachine guns, wooden boxes, several flashlights, four Nazi uniforms for four saboteurs, and two Nazi uniforms for two sailor/oarsmen, would be uniforms for seven Coastguardsmen, seven World War II bolt action Springfield rifles provided to the Coastguardsmen, uniforms for six men who were working at a Navy radio station in Amagansett that year, uniforms and weapons for a battalion of Army soldiers who were bivouacked in Napeague and awakened in the middle of the night, a Long Island Railroad stationmaster’s uniform and a man to play the part of a stationmaster, three men in black suits from the FBI to arrive in a black limousine on the beach at 7 a.m. (while the saboteurs were sitting on a train heading to New York,) and four newspapers the saboteurs hid behind on the train while sitting in seats heading to New York City. Also needed would be American fishermen’s clothes. Those organizing this re-enactment have asked me at Dan’s Papers to act as a clearing house for anyone wishing to be a part of this re-enactment. Meanwhile, the members of the group want to make sure that the sensitive nature of this encounter is okay with East Hampton Town.

At this time, Cuomo’s proposed project is still in the works, though it is passed the abstract stage. The federal government is still responsible for the lion’s share of the funding, $86.65 of the $109.3 million, while the state and local governments cover the remaining balance. The governor’s plan can allow New York State to reserve the $22.6 million, roughly $13.36 million of that amount reserved to projects on the South Fork. But nothing can come to materialize without further federal governments funding. Furthermore, Gene Pawlik, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers, said the agency would follow whatever criteria Congress laid out in its budget instructions. “State funding in the budget is a good thing,” reminds Thiele, “many projects like these build themselves from the grassroots up…this is a positive step in attaining federal money.”

East Hampton Main Street will soon have pedestrian crosswalks that shine flashing lights embedded in the street at oncoming motorists when in use. The Village applied for these contraptions a year ago. They got approval from the State (who owns the road and pays for it) and they are being put in as you read this. The lights are at four foot intervals and border the crosswalk, so as you walk along the crosswalk it’s a bit like being Dorothy and following the Yellow Brick Road to Oz. It’s also completely out of keeping with the historic nature of downtown. No colonial village ever had blinking lights like these. But they will sure save lives. Press the button to activate the lights at night and motorists up to a quarter mile away can see them flashing where you stroll in front of them on the crosswalk. During the day motorists about 300 feet away will be able to see them. I say if the presence of Piping Plovers (an endangered species) nesting on Main Beach prevent the 4th of July Fireworks there again this year, we invite everybody to come downtown and just press and press the buttons to create fireworks. They will be for the crosswalks in front of the Circle and in front of Intermix. Lots of people in town means good business. —DR

Take Your Sign And Shove It Suffolk County Department of Health Services wants swimming banned on Shelter Island in order to enforce a sanitation code, i.e., don’t pee in the pool. The County wants all swimming banned and signs put up, except at the two beaches where there might be a lifeguard on duty occasionally. Thank God Councilman Peter Reich and the Town Council are fighting this thing. This is a 28-square mile island. No traffic lights, no street lights except on the main road. If you live on the Island, you love the water, otherwise, what’s the point of being surrounded by it? Under the new ban, grandmas can’t take the kids down to the water’s edge for an hour of splashing and shell hunting—because they might pee in the water? Are you kidding me? What do you think the fish are doing? They’re peeing, pooping and making new fish. Fish die in the water and rot. It’s the high salt and iodine content that keeps the water clean. To imagine that Islanders could pollute the Atlantic that swirls around us is absurd. I think Shelter Island should apply for independent statehood, if Hawaii can, why not

us? I lived in Hawaii and you can walk around the whole Island because no one is allowed to own land down to the waterline. Ten feet above the high tide mark to the water’s edge is always public domain. And everyone swims anywhere, whenever they want. I think Islanders should engage in civil disobedience on this one. Disfigure every No Swimming sign the County orders up. I can’t stand the thought that the corrupt Suffolk County Legislature is targeting an island and telling its residents they can’t swim where they have been swimming all their lives. Talk about your bureaucratic b.s....when are they going to realize, Shelter Island isn’t Long Island. We’ll need some T-shirts for this battle. “Eat, Play, Swim” “Wading for Mr. Sandbar” “I’m Swimming, Arrest Me” “Wades Wading Team” “Shell Beach Secret Swim Team” County representatives will be monitoring Shelter Island through the summer to insure compliance. We have to submit to security checks at airports, bus stations and other forms of public conveyance—maybe we should have ferry security ask for ID from every driver and “what is their purpose in using the ferry?” if they are not local people. That way, if one of the County inspectors happens to be on the boat, a welcome can be arranged for him. Maybe a nice tar and feathering from everyone on the beach. Maybe the No Swimming sign could be put in his car, albeit through the windshield, to take back to the County offices. And maybe the residents could give him a nice send-off at the ferry dock, minus the ferry. Well, it’s the thought that counts.

Golf Bubba’s Way I have come to realize that people play golf very similarly to the way they approach life. People who think like engineers tend to analyze and focus on swing positions and technique. Artistic people are better off playing by feel and visualizing. Either way, to be successful you need to embrace your personality, and do not diverge from who you are. The 2012 Masters tournament was one of the most highly anticipated tournaments in recent years because of the outstanding play of the top players in the world rankings leading into the tournament. The stage was set for viewers to watch Rory, Tiger, or maybe Luke Donald to win the green jacket. Unfortunately it did not play out according to what analysts predicted. This year the green jacket belonged to Bubba Watson.

Most of today’s touring professionals have similar, machine-like swings based on ideal technique and positions. They rarely hit shots without the critique and watchful eye of a top-rated instructor. Some players like Phil Mickelson have several instructors for each aspect of their game including the mind and body, not to mention full swing, short game and putting. Did I forget to mention he has a caddie as well? Dr. Rick Jensen is one of the top advisors to the mental approach for many professional athletes, Olympians and top executives. His belief, contrary to the popular one, is that golf is a team game and should not be played without other teammates like Mickelson does. Watson has never had a lesson in his life, and this is what separates his approach from everyone else and it’s what draws such a crowd. Watson is a unique person in every aspect of life. Watson drinks his iced tea out of a mason jar, he refers to himself in the third person, he plays with pink clubs, he drives the General Lee, and let’s not forget, his name is Bubba. He plays a game that is unfamiliar to most conventional theory. Watson is famously recognized as one of the longest drivers to ever play the game. He has also become a model of creating insane curvature with his golf ball REUTERS/mike Segar

Bubba Watson

to execute a desired shot. With today’s golf ball technology, it has become increasingly difficult to impart a lot of curvature to a golf ball. A combination of excessive speed, creative imagination and a gifted athletic control of the clubface allows him to hit such impressive shots that not many people have the ability to accomplish or even think to try. This ability secured his win at Augusta where, on the second playoff hole, Watson hooked a wedge 40 yards out of the woods onto the green, winning him the tournament. There are many different ways to play golf. Some players like Watson are creative, shaping shots. Others like Jack Nicklaus have played the same shot shape for most of his career. Watson won the green jacket because he was true to the way he played golf and not what others consider normal. Darren deMaille is the Head Golf Professional at The Bridge in Bridgehampton. Prior to The Bridge, Darren worked at The Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Fla. and The Country Club of Fairfield in Fairfield, Conn. Darren has had many top 100 instructors influence his philosophy but most of his principles are based on Jack Nicklaus’ way to play golf.

Maintenance of it, by the way, has been taken over for several years by the Hampton Jitney, whose coach busses pass by it about 20 times a day, their drivers and attendants ferrying passengers in safety and comfort between the Hamptons and New York City. You drive by. “Well, we’re entering the Hamptons.” Or you drive by the other way. “Bye bye, Hamptons.” Is it a deer reaching to eat a yummy leaf high up on a tree?

M Here Comes The Sun: Choosing The Right Solar Backpack

My job frequently takes me to the West Coast, both San Francisco and Los Angeles. In fact, I am writing this very column while flying home from California. Lately I’ve been noticing a unique phenomenon out west: no one carries a briefcase anymore. It’s all about backpacks. Now, I fully expected to see this kind of trend from gear-head tech entrepreneurs in Palo Alto, or from would-be actors patrolling West Hollywood. But everywhere I visit, it seems that even the most buttoned-up executives are no longer toting those Louis Vuitton purses or Kate Spade shoulder bags. They’re carrying backpacks. This puzzled me. It looks a little weird to see someone dressed in a nice business suit with a big backpack draped over their shoulders. Finally, I observed a woman in Starbucks. She took off her pack, pulled out her iPhone, and plugged it directly into a slot on the face of it. That’s when it hit me: she was charging her phone. This was a solar backpack that could do a lot more than carry your junk. I struck up a conversation to get educated. Turns out, solar backpacks have been around for years. While many dismissed them as a fad for the kids, the technology and quality of the bags has really improved. And when you think about it, the concept is brilliant: the backpack contains a series of small solar panels on the outside, which gather power while you climb that mountain, complete your day hike, or even just walk to work. When your phone, tablet, or other device needs a quick shot of energy, you simply plug it in via USB and you’ve got power. Confession: I haven’t bought my solar backpack yet, but it’s definitely on my must-have list for this summer. Through my conversation with the woman at Starbucks, along with targeted browsing of product reviews and tech bloggers, I’ve come up with a few solid tips to guide you through this purchase. Tip #1: Most solar backpacks are pretty much the same If you don’t believe me, check out a blog by someone named “Solar Powered Guy” who has spent far too much time analyzing this topic. What he realized was this: most solar backpacks offer pretty much the same basic features and functionality. The trick is finding one with the right combination of durability, size and charging system. Tip #2: Balance the bag versus the connections When considering which backpack is right for you, think about what you’re going to use it for. If your primary use is for heavy outdoor recreation such as camping or strenuous hiking, then look at a more expensive bag that

is more durable and lighter. You’ll still get enough charging power out of it, and you won’t end up disappointed with a lower quality pack. If you’re really just looking for a portable, green charging station, then search for a model that features more adapters and versatility for charging more accessories. Tip #3: If you look closely, you can find some differences While I already noted that most solar backpacks are basically the same, there are a few interesting features that might be best for you. Some models feature removable solar cells that let you charge your phone separately while using the backpack for other purposes. Nice touch. Other models feature a built-in flashlight for nighttime assistance. So it’s worth digging around a bit for that perfect set of features.

Tip #4: Research online, but try to buy in the store While it’s really cool to have a portable charging station on your back, don’t forget that you also have to carry this thing on your back. For this reason, it’s probably best to scope out a model you like online, but then visit a store to try it out and get a true feel. Tip #5: Don’t go off the grid for too long Finally, while solar backpacks are quite handy, they’re not generators! Most models can recharge an iPhone in an hour or so. But if you’re going camping for a weekend, don’t expect to power your laptop, satellite phone and hair dryer from your backpack. Besides, the entire point of camping or getting outdoors is to turn off your electronics, right?

And vice investor class. However, the majority of versa. transactions in the Hamptons are $2 million “This could be our best selling season in five or and under. six years,” said Saunders. However, despite the And, as per usual, Saunders affirms that

South of the Highway is still the place to be, particularly Bridgehampton South, Southampton South, Wainscott South and Water Mill South. But if any place rises slightly about the rest, it’s Sagaponack South. “People who have a really big budget tend to gravitate to something different than a village,” says Saunders, referring in particular to the landscape of places like Sagaponack. “They want something that is less closed-in, with wide open spaces and fields.” As to the type of places that sell well, Saunders emphasizes that the product needs to be well-conceived, well-executed and wellpriced. “Some developers make the mistake that it’s all about a formula out here,” says Saunders. A project needs a sense of style, and can’t just look like it was pre-designed. At the same time, that doesn’t necessarily have to mean that the product carries a substantial price tag, relatively speaking. But it does need to be great for what it is. Traditional homes still rule the lay of the land, but the instance of modern design is increasing, particularly with oceanfront or waterfront homes. However, not everyone’s perception of “modern” design is the same. Within the genre, there are so many things that people can do. As the future of Hamptons real estate increasingly shows conviction, it seems that buyers and sellers will continue to believe in the viability of having property on the East End.

BY THE BOOK by Joan Baum

It’s a nice thought—Ghandi’s “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”—which Lou Romano invokes as the epigraph for his new novel Besa, but considering how many bodies are blown away in the author’s new take on mob violence, it could be said that in the Bronx and Manhattan, where families that slay together don’t necessarily stay together, almost everyone’s sightless. Unlike Fish Farm, Romano’s fiction debut, which pit Sicilian and Colombian mobsters against each other and held a climactic blood bath at the old fish factory in Napeague, Besa, allows the Sicilian and Albanian dons who rule in Besa to contemplate ending their vicious way of life—well, at least between them. It’s not that these competitive warring factions subscribe to Ghandi’s motto but that they see how the Brooklyn-based Russians are moving in on both their turfs. Thugs without Honor, “serious” people, “maniacs . . . very disturbed people who have no respect for our ways or your ways,” as one of the Sicilians remarks at a sit-down with the Albanians. “The Russians have only a tradition of violence without boundaries. They smell blood in the water like sharks. No sense of family, country, honor!” While readers will likely intuit how events will play out in Besa, its cultural richness (including occasional interjections of Albanian words and phrases) makes for absorbing reading. As Romano writes in a prefatory chapter, learning about “the mind and temperament” of Albanians means understanding how “thousands of years of war, domination, oppression, poverty and clans” were informed by an ancient code not dissimilar to that which informs the mafia, rules of order that turn on “a person’s word of honor,” or besa. Offenses must be avenged in blood, including the blood of all males in the offending family, even infants. “In the 1920s,” Romano writes, “thirty percent of the male population in Albania died violent deaths as a result of blood feuds.” The only alternative is “a magnanimous pardon” by way of “the mediation of good friends,” a rarity but one that Romano makes part of the novel’s theme. Not that everyone agrees that peace is the way—though Gino Ranno does; he’s a good guy rolled over from Fish Farm. In Besa he brokers a truce between the Italians and Albanians and survives a shootout, guaranteeing that he’ll be around for more books, written perhaps during the summers Romano spends in Montauk. The decision to write about Albanians, old world and new, was, Romano writes in an email, the result of his doing business with Albanians for years and learning how they lived in Italy for a while and had a culture close to that of Sicilians. He also has close Albanian friends and is impressed by “what they have achieved in our country in the last 40 years . . . The new generation is very much into higher education and living the American dream.” Still, he sees their underworld. He

knows that Albania is a main pass-through for heroin, part of a distribution system that starts in the poppy fields of Turkey and ends on the streets in New York, Boston and Detroit. The Albanians also seem to have become entrepreneurs in the hydroponic marijuana business, using water, nutrients, and light (stolen from utilities) that results in “faster plant growth and more potent cannabis.” This fact, by the way, suggests that legalizing marijuana won’t necessarily stem the drug trade. Other insider info proves more practical: readers should get pencils out to note the best Sicilian and Albanian restaurants in New York. They’re celebrated here, along with

the best cheeses and wines. If it’s a fallacy, of course, that mob life among Sicilians or Albanians is any more acceptable than that of other ethnic gangsters, but, as The Godfather proved, given the right cast of characters, an infusion of romance and a rallying-cry commitment to an ancient code of honor, such a life can seem appealing from a certain perspective. Romano does not play down or excuse the violence endemic to such a way of life, but he does suggest that such honor codes tend to take strong root where there is a history of fragmented political power, economic deprivation and national pride.

Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing

by Lenn Thompson

Defining Sustainability in Long Island Wine Country

Last weekend – appropriately on Earth Day – a small group of local wineries announced the creation of Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing (LISW), a not-forprofit organization that will educate local vineyards and serve as the sustainable vineyard certification program  in  the  eastern  United  States. “Sustainableâ€? is a term that you hear a lot on the

East End. Local wineries know that more and more people are taking an interest in not only where their food – wine is food after all – is grown, but how. People point to windmills, solar arrays, compost piles and the like as proof of their commitment to green practices. Those things are all well and good, but unlike “organic� and “biodynamic� which have strict rules and formal certification, “sustainable� has been a bit more nebulous and hard to define. “Sustainable� is a bit of a “green� grey area without any local definition or certification. It is a term that is decidedly open to interpretation. Because of that ambiguity, it is no doubt being abused by some wineries that want to cash in on the green movement without really acting as stewards for their land. LISW, founded by Bedell Cellars, Channing Daughters Winery, Martha Clara Vineyards and Shinn Estate Vineyards has the potential to change that by bringing structure and clarity to just what “sustainability� is in Long Island wine country. These founding partners worked in conjunction with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County to write and codify specific sustainable grape growing guidelines for Long Island’s two AVAs (American Viticultural Areas): the North Fork of Long Island and The Hamptons, Long Island. The foundation of the program is the New York VineBalance Grower Self-Assessment Workbook, which acts as a roadmap for evaluating sustainable viticultural practices. Development of the VineBalance Workbook began in 2004 as a major cooperative effort led by Cornell University Cooperative Extension with funding from the New York Wine & Grape Foundation and New York Farm Viability Institute. According to the group’s press release, they will begin the multi-year certification process for Long Island farm wineries using international standards of sustainable practices in quality wine-grape production that have been refined for Long Island. These sustainability guidelines use a checklist system consisting of recommended and prohibited practices and materials, thoughtful planning and numerous ecological options, as verified by independent third-party certifiers. A comprehensive list of sustainable farming

OPEN HOUSE Re

guidelines and principles is available from LISW upon request, and complete up-to-date information can be found by following LISW on the Internet (lisustainablewine.org), Facebook (facebook.com/ sustainablewinegrowing) and Twitter (twitter.com/ liswinegrowing). The organization has pending 501(c)(3) not-for-profit status and the first certified sustainable Long Island wines will be available for sale in early 2013. All Long Island vineyard owners have been invited to join LISW to begin working on the transitional path toward the adoption of more sustainable practices and ultimate certification. So, the next time someone talks about their winery as “sustainable� you can – and should – ask them if they are working with LISW. Local wineries won’t be able to hide behind “sustainable� anymore.

Tranquility at John Dillon Salon By Kelly Laffey Last week, I was fortunate to head to the John Dillon Salon & Day Spa in Southampton for a tranquility treatment. Tranquility is a 45-minute spa service with reflexology and an exfoliating facial. While I don’t get to the salon nearly as often as I wish I did, my recollections of facials is that they tend to be more painful than relaxing. So I was skeptical by the title “tranquility,” but was lured by the reflexology and happily drove over to the Hill Street location during my lunch break. Angelina greeted me when I walked in, and I sat in the waiting area for a few minutes and picked up an old copy of Vogue – the salon has ample magazine selections. As I turned to an interview with Taylor Swift, I could already feel myself relaxing. After a few short minutes, I was called into

Don’t hide your toes in the sand...

the back treatment room. Angelina introduced me to Diane, the reflexologist, and I began my trek down relaxation road. First of all, this is unlike any facial I’ve ever received. Angelina used a combination of lotions, exfoliates and steam to nourish and rejuvenate the skin. The accompanying facial massage really did help to whisk away any worries. Then, there was the reflexology. Diane was great at pinpointing specific areas on my feet to give a holistic approach to well being. “Tranquility is the ultimate pampering,” says Angelina. “There are no extractions.” It was so nice to take 45 minutes out of the hustle and bustle of the day to unwind and think only pleasant thoughts – trust me, it’s hard to conjure up any negativity during this session.

NORTH FORK’S NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: A beautiful new shop, Esprit De France, 740 Main Road, Aquebogue has landed on the North Fork. They are a French family (with three boys 14, 11 and 5) that spent vacations on the North Fork, and then decided to re-locate there in June, 2010, because they fell in love with its contrasts. Their dream was to open a business with a touch of France…that would link to their international/ humanitarian experiences. The shop is selling only one-of-a-kinds and handmade exotic products in the “Espirit de France” that include furniture, paintings, vases, sculptures, bags, baskets, bronzes, and indoor and outdoor, unique decoration items, most made by French artists. There is also an eclectic variety of products coming into the shop from all over the world including Sénégal, Ghana, French Guyana, Brazil, and Egypt. Several ideas lead their choices to offer products to the community, a nice mix of materials such as metal, wood, upcycled products (upgraded recycling), tables with recycled steel, rubber, vases made from recycled fire extinguishers, furniture made by recycled water pipes and recycled oil tanks and more. This is a must stop-must shop… 631-779-2815. Until next week, Ciao and happy shopping!

Summer Camps

Ross Preschoolers take a hike.

By David Shea Duda Summer is fast approaching, but it’s still not too late to get your child involved in one of the area’s premier summer camps. Long Island is one of the best summer communities in the world! Let your kid experience the beauty of the area while making new friends, stimulating their interests and developing new hobbies. The Knox School in Saint James has a variety of summer camps for children of all ages and interests. Full-time campers will be involved in fun and

exciting daily activities at Knox. These include swim lessons by a certified Red Cross Instructor in the in-ground swimming pool. Other activities such as kayaking, arts and crafts, fine arts, chess, dance, music, drama, basketball, deck hockey, four square, orienteering, tennis and science will be available on a rotating schedule. Campers will be divided into groups based on their fall 2012 grade level. New for 2012 is the Barracuda Group, which will consist of 9th and 10th graders who will be a part of the school’s travel program to explore area attractions. Knox will also offer a Counselor in Training Program for 10th graders who are interested in ultimately becoming a camp counselor, an equestrian program and a variety of sports camps. The baseball camp will be headlined by Oreste Marreo, a former MLB player with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Try Some Fire by Friction! By Matthew Benham You should never play with matches but…the bow drill is a primitive method of creating fire without the help of matches or a lighter. Although the equipment used seems complicated it is actually quite simple to construct. It consists of a spindle that sits on a base (fireboard) while the spindle is rapidly spun back and fourth by the bow. The bow itself is usually curved with a piece of cordage attached to each end. The friction developed by the spindle and fireboard generates heat and from heat, fire. I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as I possibly can, this includes fishing, bird watching, camping and roasting marshmallows over the campfire. I have attempted the bow drill method of starting fire with no success. I found it time consuming and frustrating, eventually ending with

me giving up and with a single flick of my Bic the task ended. Due to modernity and it’s convenience we take things for granted, taking the easy and technological approach to nearly everything we do and need. By spending time outdoors and returning to our traditional methods we can develop an appreciation for how we came to be. In the Kid’s Calendar of last week’s Dan’s Papers I noticed a listing entitled Fire By Friction: a bow drill fire making demo and practice. I was excited when I read the quoted words “Yes! YOU will get to try it!” The listing stated “ages 8 and up with a limit of 10 students.” As a 28-year-old I envisioned a mental picture of myself surrounded by elementary school students all wondering why an old man attended their weekend field trip. The listed event was scheduled for a Saturday in Sag Harbor, details that sound like a great outing for any age group. I

Chandra and her husband Ben were instructed by Apache Native Americans and now harbor other necessary, primitive skills as well. Luckily for me, the kind Chandra added that she intends to expand the educational programs into the adult world.

By Dr. Daniel W. Koontz If you’re considering summer music lessons for your children – go for it. But please bear in mind that music lessons are not just a fun, drop-in activity – they require a regular practice routine. In discussions about children and learning a musical instrument, you’ll often hear parents say something like this: “Well, we don’t think we should force our little Jody to practice if he doesn’t REALLY LOVE IT.” This way of thinking, along with the widespread belief that musical skills are something you’re born with and not something you learn, leads to a situation in which young people lose the chance to become competent musicians, and thereby miss out on a source of great pleasure. As a pianist myself, I’ve lost track of the number of middle-aged people who have come up to me and said something like, “Yeah, I took some lessons when I was a kid – I wish I’d kept it up.” These aren’t people who long for a career in music, but who would just like to be able to bang out a tune. Who wouldn’t? There are some important challenges in learning

to play an instrument that make it very different from most other activities that children get involved in. First, the learning curve is STEEP, and even when you practice, progress is slow. Second, playing requires a lot of concentration. Many children will find this agonizing – none of their schoolwork forces them to think this hard. Third, there is no getting around the fact that in order to make music, you have to be able to play through a piece without mistakes and without stopping – in music, the goal is always perfection. Again, this is seldom the case in other aspects of children’s lives. Little wonder that, while boys will play video games for hours on end, a mere 15 minutes on a piano bench will seem to them like an eternity, and many parents find themselves in a constant battle to get their kid to practice. I would say that 30 minutes a day is the minimum practice required to make steady progress on an instrument, and while that’s not much time, trying to get a kid to do it sometimes seems impossible. So, bearing all of this in mind, why should you get your child started on a musical instrument? In my opinion, you should for precisely the challenges I outlined above. After all, why SHOULDN’T there be something in your child’s life that isn’t easy? Why SHOULDN’T they experience and train themselves in heightened levels of concentration? Why SHOULDN’T there be something that raises the standards above the “good enough?” If this sounds macho and retrograde, then I apologize. But I think many parents would agree that the things that tend to monopolize their children’s time (i.e. video games) are distinctly undemanding, and mental laziness is habit-forming. I also know a little secret: that the agony of childhood practice, which is real and which is primarily a mental agony, is replaced in adulthood

to teach athletic skills to future sports stars. Future Stars has two additional sites in the Hamptons. The Southampton location has baseball, basketball, multi-sport, soccer, squash and tennis programs. Southampton also has a Little Stars camp, which is tailored to kids ages 3.5 to 5. Tennis is also offered in Westhampton. For more info, visit www.fscamps.com/ suffolkCounty/easthampton_tennis.php or call 914273-8500. The curtain is going up on the 2012 Summer Season of Performing Arts Camps and Classes for Children at the not-for-profit Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center (WHBPAC) Nancy and Frederick Arts Education Program at 76 Main Street in Westhampton Beach. This outstanding program provides a variety of week-long camp

experiences that not only introduce youngsters to the performing arts, but also fosters life skills: teamwork, social skills, responsibility, commitment, selfesteem and creative development. From summerlong acting classes with Teen Theatre Troupe to weeklong camp offerings, these distinctive performing arts camps and classes span a wide spectrum of arts areas, including Musical Theatre, Ballet, Broadway, Puppetry and Acting. For all the details, visit www.whbpac. org or call 631-288-1500. Other theatrical experiences are available to youngsters at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor (www.baystreet.org), Guild Hall in East Hampton, www.guildhall.org and through Stages, A Children’s Theatre Workshop, www.stagesworkshop.org. For the youngest of youngsters check out Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre on East Union Street in Sag Harbor (www.goatonaboat.org) and The Children’s Museum of the East End (www.cmee. org), located outside Bridgehampton. The Parrish Art Museum in Southampton also offers kids high quality workshops, www.parrishart.org. But don’t let the kids have ALL the fun this summer…How about…FILM CAMP?! The

Manhattan Film Institute is offering a professional retreat on the North Fork this summer for directors ages 14 to 17 and 18 and up and for actors in the same two age categories. Check out www.manhattanfilminstitute.com to learn about the July 13-20 Writers Retreat with Chazz Palminteri and the Actors Retreat with Larry Moss, July 20-27. Hampton Country Day Camp (HCDC) (www. hamptoncountrydaycamp.com) in East Hampton offers Teen Hampton, Hampton Sports and Arts for 11-15 year olds and much, much more. As their website asserts, “At Hampton Country Day Camp, our campers do more than just have fun – they get involved in giving back to the community that they enjoy so much summer after summer through our camp’s Helping Hands Program.” Last summer, HCDC campers brought canned and packaged food from home for the East Hampton Food Pantry. The Food Pantry then distributed the food to needy families on the East End. Boredom? Not in the vernacular out here. Get those kids off the couch, and watch as they engage their minds and bodies in a slew of East End summer activities.

& simple art of cooking by Silvia Lehrer

My risotto file is one of my thickest – a testament to my love of risotto. No doubt I fell in love with this marvelous amalgam of rice and vegetables or seafood when I studied with Marcella Hazan back in the 70s and a little later when I went off to Florence, Italy to study with Giuliano Bugialli. In my latest cookbook Savoring the Hamptons: Discovering the Food and Wine of Long Island’s East End, (Running Press, 2011), I included three seasonal risotto recipes, one each for spring, autumn and winter. I suppose this constant flow of risotto relates to the continuous stirring required for preparing a risotto. One doesn’t have to make risotto every day, but to me, producing one of the world’s greatest dishes should, on occasion, be worth about 25 minutes of one’s time. I don’t believe there is any getting around it and there’s no other way to do it but to stir. What I have always subscribed to when making a risotto is to stir with one hand while sipping a glass of wine with the other. Risotto is uniquely Italian in that the fundamental component is rice from the Po Valley such as Carnaroli, Arborio or Vialone. The rice varieties contain a thick coating of soft starch, which gradually

dissolves in the slow stirring of the cooking process into a creamy fusion of seasonal ingredients, such as asparagus and/or lettuce. Enjoy with that glass of wine! ASPARAGUS AND LEEK RISOTTO There is a special kind of rice cultivated only in the River Po Valley in Northern Italy. The grains are oval and pearly in color. This type of rice is cooked so that it gradually absorbs nearly three times its volume in liquid, far more than any other kind of rice. Serves 4 to 6 3/4 slender asparagus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 large leek, trimmed, washed, thinly sliced 1 cup dry white wine 2 cups Italian Carnaroli, Arborio or Vialone rice 5 ½ to 6 cups hot chicken stock 1/4 teaspoon saffron (optional) Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Freshly grated Parmigiano cheese 1. Trim asparagus and break off woody ends where they naturally bend. Wash and rinse asparagus then cut on a slant into pieces about 1 inch long. 2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a flameproof casserole, such as Le Creuset. Add the asparagus pieces and stir-sauté until they are bright green and slightly tender. Remove asparagus and set aside. Add additional tablespoon oil to casserole then add the leek and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Meanwhile, keep stock simmering in another saucepan. Add saffron to stock if available, and the rice is tender, creamy, and slightly resistant

to the bite. 3. Add rice to pan with vegetables and stir to mix. Cook rice, stirring occasionally to coat the grains for a few minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle about 1/2 cup of simmering stock to the rice and cook over moderate heat, stirring until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Continue adding stock, 1/2 cup at a time and stir, allowing each addition to be absorbed by the rice before adding more liquid. Continue adding the stock until the rice is tender, creamy, and slightly resistant to the bite. There should be no chalkiness in the center of the grains. 4. Return asparagus to the rice, stir to mix and cook over very low heat for about a minute. Remove from heat and add about 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and stir to mix. Taste to adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately with additional cheese, if desired. LA RISOLATA I first tasted la risolata or risotto with romaine lettuce at a restaurant in Florence, Italy. The flavor is remarkable and the idea of a lettuce risotto – interesting! Here is my adaptation. Serves 4 to 6 1 large head romaine lettuce 1 medium-size red onion, peeled 2 stalks celery, rinsed and peeled 2 carrots, rinsed and peeled 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

& ART COMMENTARY by Marion W. Weiss

Bilotta, Corey And Howe at Crazy Monkey Gallery

Amagansett’s Crazy Monkey Gallery distinguishes itself by being the only co-operative art venue in the area; this itself is an achievement. It has also been in business for several years, having outlived other galleries that have, unfortunately, had to close. We don’t know the ins and outs of co-ops, but there surely must have been many challenges to overcome. Frankly, we’d like to know how The Crazy Monkey did it. The current exhibit with three artists may offer a partial answer. The work is articulate, stylistically varied and interesting to view. The material used also gets our attention. Consider abstract work by Lance Corey like “The Teacher” and “The Lover”: his latex on wood gives the pieces a special texture and enhances the wide brush strokes, splashes of paint and sometimes geometric forms. While Corey’s art seems to convey formal aesthetic qualities, his background indicates that he has diverse academic and cultural experiences.

For example, he has degrees room looks like. And more in Communication Arts, importantly, we wonder what Philosophy, Theology and kind of people live here. Howe’s International Relations. He has style is disconcerting and for a studied in Egypt and China reason. She starts with realism, on Fulbright Scholarships and perhaps deriving from her taught in New York City for 22 photography background, but years. Such experiences give a ends with a slight distortion. hint of his world view seen in For example, her overstuffed his paintings: simple and often chairs are not exactly “real,” primordial. reminding us a bit of Maria Abstracts by Barbara Bilotta Schon’s realistic but abstract also possess texture in their chairs that serve as metaphors. employment of acrylic with A “mumblecore” film (The Puffy resin, including “Hawkeye.” Chair) also comes to mind This texture, however, is not for this critic, “mumblecore” literal since her surfaces seem designating an independent, low shiny and slick, all the more budget work with low production reason to experience their values, like a home movie. impact.

Gallery 125 presents

Major works by

Daniel O’Keefe

and

John Perreault

Through May 13th, 2012

Bellport, NY - In January of this year, Gallery 125 was transformed into a studio space, thus inaugurating an annual winter residency program for abstract artists. John Perreault, who showed last year at Gallery 125, has used his four-month stint to create six-foot by ten-foot paintings, employing his signature materials: black sand from Fire Island and instant coffee. During his concurrent residency, abstract painter Daniel O’Keefe new to the Gallery 125 stable, created major works on aluminum, employing Venetian plaster and tinting paste.

All works are available for acquisition. Public Viewing Schedule: Fridays - 4 - 7 pm Private Viewing Schedule: By Appointment Saturdays - 10:30 am - 5 pm 631.880.2693 Sundays - 10:30 am - 1:30pm ssbrig@optonline.net

HONORING THE ARTIST by Marion W. Weiss

equator or southern hemisphere every winter. I did a portrait of bathers in the Caribbean at one time. Wonder what Renoir would have done out there in the Cayman Islands. Q: Any special experiences you have had closer to home this last year or any place, for that matter? A: I had an exhibit at the Baywoods Laurel Group space in Watermill. I had just enjoyed a trip to Japan on a photography tour through the temples and mountains. Just to think that months later, Japan was hit by a devastating tsunami and fallout. Q: If you had a choice, what place would you like to exhibit? A: I like to be surprised. I prefer situations out-ofthe-ordinary. Q: You are so attuned to the world, I am curious to know how this last year’s political/economic events affected you. A: I was enraged, or to put it better, appalled at witnessing how human lives have become second

in the decision-making process. My vision is that of a win-win scenario and nothing I have noticed would come close to this scenario. The social media in the hands of people will change all this. I imagine a world that is leaderless where the people have hands-on approaches to working together in many close knit communities linked by the Internet. What is happening is that the spirit is strong now, lots of love emerging as in the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street. Q: How about art? What do you see as its future amidst all the turmoil? A: Art will be reborn, no longer tied to currency values. New economy models will be born like Phoenix rising. With all the population resources we have, we are bound to have this better world. Art will not only reflect this, but my art will reflect my reach. Art is what we are. Charles Wildbank’s website is: www. wildbankfineart.com

WHO IS THE BEST WRITER OF NONFICTION ON THE EAST END?

Charles Wildbank This week’s cover by Charles Wildbank presents a whimsical perspective on an East Hampton icon. Called “Golden Pear Mill,” the structure is a piece of fruit which may or may not suggest a metaphor, yet the real point is the fact that it recalls Wildbank’s playful work in general (like his peppermint candy painting). Even a recent abstract piece, “The Wave of Gold,” makes us feel good, with its cosmic worldview and drops of real silver. Q: Why a pear-shaped windmill on the cover? A: I guess it’s because I sold so many paintings of pears in the Hamptons over the years. Q: I have seen and read a few interviews with you, and people mention the fact you are hearing impaired. How has that condition changed the way you paint, your philosophy, style? A: My deafness hasn’t changed anything. I was born into it. What you probably mean is if I feel different in my outlook compared to others. I can say that everyone is unique and would being hearing impaired make me unique among other unique people? I am just myself, both different and no more different than other people. Q: While you deal with a variety of subjects, like landscapes, portraits and still lifes, what are you working on now? A: I’ve been painting large portraits; I get lost in the dynamics of the person’s presence, like through the expressions, the long hair, the lighting. I am building a collection with hopes that I can have a retrospective. Q: Do you have a special season when you are most productive or special circumstances when you do your best work? A: I love the sunny days for work, especially as they lengthen through spring and summer. The waning of the days can frustrate my creative planning, as I feel a wonderful energy from the sunlight in my studio. I like to remedy this by heading toward the

Bay Street Theatre Announces 2012 Season Bay Street Theatre Announces 2012 Mainstage Productions The American premiere of My Brilliant Divorce will grace the Mainstage from May 29 to June 24. Written by Geraldine Aron and directed by Matt McGrath, one of Bay Street’s Artistic Associates, the one-woman show tells the story of American ex-pat Angela whose irritatingly round-headed British husband leaves. She’s left to cope with a disapproving mother, a shifty attorney and a bad case of hypochondria. A real treat from across the pond! Previews May 29-31 sponsored by Peconic Landing. The 20-Year Revival of Men’s Lives, which was the inaugural production presented at Bay Street Theatre in 1992, will run July 3-29. Viewers will get a look at the changing lives of the baymen on the East End. Written by Joe Pintauro, the play is based on the book by Peter Matthiessen. Harris Yulin will direct. The world premiere of the new musical Big Maybelle: Soul of the Blues, will run from Aug. 7 to Sept. 2. It was written and directed by Paul Levine, and it features the sensational Tonyaward winning Lillias White as the blues singer Maybelle Smith. A big woman with even bigger talent, she took on all the challenges of 1950s America. Be prepared to be knocked out of your seat! Previews August 7-10 are sponsored by PCH Builders and Property Management. The 2012 Mainstage Season program is partially funded by the Suffolk County Executive’s Office.

Police Blotter Not Too Smart A man in Hampton Bays was caught with prescription drugs and later went unconscious after he consumed them in order to destroy the evidence. Shelter Island Old Man McGumbus, 104 years old and former World War II submarine fire fighter, was arrested last week after he attended the Grand Springtime Costume Ball at the Shelter Island Sylvester Goodyear Hall on 777 White Street. McGumbus, who attended the party as a Storm Trooper from the movie Star Wars, got into a fight with Shelter Island resident and famous German mathematician Heinrich Braun-Schinsteizer, who invented the statistic method known as the Bell Curve, and is 96 years old. Heinrich attended the party dressed as Darth Vader from Star Wars. When McGumbus arrived at the party, he immediately became irate after he saw Heinrich and deliberately tripped Heinrich with his foot and took off his Darth Vader mask. Witnesses reported McGumbus saying, “I TOLD YOU WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IF I SAW YOU SHOWING UP IN THIS OUTFIT HEINRICH! LET’S SEE YOU BELL CURVE YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS ONE YOU GOD DAMN HIPPIE!” and began beating Heinrich with the Darth Vader mask. Heinrich began fighting back and the two wrestled throughout the grand hall as hundreds of people all watched in horror. The seven-foot-tall cake that was baked for the party was completely

DaybyDay

destroyed after the two of them smashed into it while bringing each other to the ground. One witness who was dressed in a banana suit said, “At one point I think McGumbus was biting Heinrich’s right ankle. You could tell because the paramedic had to remove a set of false teeth from his ankle when it was all over. If you ask me, McGumbus, for the most part, won the fight, but man does he fight dirty.” McGumbus was arrested for the assault and was released on his own recognizance. Caught By A Backpack Three teens were caught in Westhampton for vandalism after police reviewed a surveillance tape of three people damaging public restrooms. One of the police officers investigating the incident recognized the backpack the teen was wearing, questioned the teen involved in the incident and got him to squeal on the others involved. No charges have been filed and restitution is being considered. Stay Away The man who broke into P. Diddy’s house in East Hampton and then decided to do a little eating and sleeping and was later arrested for trespassing, was told by a judge that he was to stay away from P. Diddy and the home and that he could be facing jail time. –David Lion Rattiner
