We Need Manny Officer Manny Quinn Will Fix the Nasty Billboard on CR 39 By Dan Rattiner Many local people have expressed shock at the huge billboard that now stands on County Road 39 and shows the side view of a Southampton Town Police Car, with a police officer leaping up from the other side of the front and pointing a gun at those who drive by. “Slow Down, or You Will Be Shot,” the sign says. “35 Miles Per Hour Speed Limit Vigorously Enforced.” That’s not what it says? Well, I drove by it three hours ago and just got a brief glance at it, so that’s what I thought it said. Oh, it’s a RADAR gun he’s firing? Oh, okay. Sorry about that, everybody. The shock expressed at the sudden appearance of this very menacing sign comes not only from passing motorists and local citizens, but also from Southampton Town itself. The sign was, apparently, put up on May 24 by busy workmen from somewhere, and our Town Supervisor, Linda Cabot, upon hearing the news, immediately called her highway department, which said they knew nothing about it, and then made further phone calls, until finally she learned that this sign was put up by Suffolk County, intended as a surprise gift to Dan Rattiner is the founder of Dan's Papers. His memoir, In the Hamptons: Fifty Years With Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities, published by Harmony Books, is currently available wherever books are sold.

Southampton. Alongside it, each of the five lanes is either 11 or 12-feet wide, which is above the legal limit for traffic lanes, but which are usually put in only on back roads,

where the speed limit is indeed 35 miles an hour. The county does own the property on which the road is built, so it is a county road, but by pre-agreement, Southampton chooses the speed limit and enforces the law there. When

this new road opened in late April, the speed limit was 45. But then the town lowered it, because it seemed too fast given the narrowness of the lanes. But nobody expected this very large and very threatening billboard to be put up. Many people I have talked to think that it might be a good thing to have Manny Quinn of the East Hampton Police Department come up to this spot on County Road 39. He is in retirement now, but he served that town admirably for more than 15 years back in the 1980s and 1990s. He’d sit in his police car on the side of the road through rain or shine, sometimes for shifts of 24 straight hours. He never complained. He always had a welcome smile on his face. And he always treated everybody with the same, silent respect. We need something like that in front of the nasty billboard. And I must say that if Manny Quinn always treated everybody very respectfully, the passing motorists returned in kind to him. But not all of them. Once, somebody broke into his police car – he always sat there with the windows up and the doors locked – and carted him away and held him for ransom. The ransom was never paid. Two weeks later, Manny Quinn was found at the town dump, a bit the worse for wear, but still smiling. Another time, somebody jimmied the locks of the police car, broke in, and took Manny’s (continued on page 26)

One topic the former couple will keep mum about is Brinkley’s $30-million Tower Hill estate in Bridgehampton, which will remain hers. * * * Southampton’s Vera Wang was honored with a Hall of Fame award from the Fragrance Foundation, which was presented by New York Ranger Sean Avery.

hat and peeled off his fake moustache. Another time he was simply stolen, no questions asked, and no ransom note afterwards. Years passed after that. No Manny. People mourned. And then one of Manny’s arms turned up. Then a leg. It was awful. But we lived through it and so did Manny, who was put back together by a very expert doctor. At that time, he said he thought he’d been through enough, and asked the department if he could be retired. The town obliged, retiring him and heaping honors on him. Many people miss Manny. I still remember him. He had started out in life as a mannequin at one of the fancy Main Street stores. Donated to the police department, he was then dressed in his lieutenant’s uniform and placed on the front seat of an East Hampton Town police car, facing the oncoming traffic. He’d be on different streets on different days, usually placed just around a

bend. You’d round the bend and suddenly see Manny at the wheel with his sunglasses and cap and uniform and you’d slow down before you realized he was just a fake. I have a number of ideas about how Manny could be placed in front of that big sign. He could be stood up on the roof of the car, his arms outstretched in welcome. “Welcome to the Hamptons,” he’d say. Of course, that wonderful smile, the same smile that helped sell the clothes in a clothing store window, would be flashed to passersby. It is a very winning smile, indeed. Another idea is that he be stood up by the front fender of his police car — a REAL police car, not a billboard police car — and have his arm positioned upwards so it would appear he was waving hello. Or he could be placed right up against the front of the billboard, right over the big beefy cop jumping up from behind the front fender. But that wouldn’t actually work. He’s not tall enough to cover the beefy cop. The beefy cop is supersize. A giant. Nevertheless, he’d be saying “Welcome to the Hamptons, everybody. Don’t pay any attention to this guy on the billboard. He’s just playing the role. He reports to me, Lt. Manny Quinn. I say when he gives out tickets and doesn’t give out tickets. So, yes, for your own good, the speed limit is now 35 miles an hour. And if you go over, and haven’t got a good explanation for it, I’ll see you get a ticket anyway. We do mean business. And I’m up here 24 hours a day, seven days a week, just like that other guy. “We play Good Cop Bad Cop. Just for you.” •

Wobbles The Longest Day of the Year Comes a Day Early. Here’s Why. By Dan Rattiner Next week, we here on this part of the planet experience the longest day of the year. We get the most sunshine. And the least night. Before science figured all this out, there were lots of superstitions about why this was. Was it something we had done? Was a god angry? Or maybe he was happy, giving us all this sunshine. In England in ancient times, women would wash their faces on this day because with all the sunshine, they thought it made them look better. (It does.) There was a superstition that if you ran naked in the grass of the morning dew, it would enable fertility for the coming year. There was a superstition that if

you burned herbs on a bonfire on the day of the summer solstice, it would keep your livestock healthy. Those were the days. In the last 700 years, various wise men and women, using telescopes, mathematics and other tools have come to figure out what is really going on here. These must have been very giddy times for scientists. They discovered the earth was a sphere and not flat like a sheet. They discovered the earth spins and moves around the sun, and then puzzling over the meaning of the summer solstice, they discovered the axis the earth spins on is tipped slightly in relation to the sun.

Finally, looking at all this really, really closely, they discovered that the earth does not make a perfect circle when going around the sun, but rather a sort of elipse. And furthermore, and this might have really frightened them at first, the earth wasn’t even on a perfect axis — it actually wobbled on its axis a slight bit. (The solstice this year is on June 20, not June 21, which is an oddity. It is caused by the wobble.) What might happen if the planet should fall over? Probably the most frightening bit of news was that the whole shebang — the sun and the earth, and now it turned out there were a (continued on the next page)

VICIOUS STORM CRASHES INTO MY HOUSE SUNDAY By Dan Rattiner On Sunday, my fiancée Chris and I went to a wonderful lunch for 12 at a private home in Mecox. After eating, around three, we got a tour of the house. In the living room, our host showed us an old black and white picture of the house in a frame. “It’s an old farmhouse,” he said, “and we are restoring it carefully. But as you see, it doesn’t have the big porch we have built. The farmer who sold us this property, he’s about 90 now, came around the other day and had a look at what we were doing and said he hadn’t built a porch because it was too cold outside on porches

in the summer. Well, it isn’t now. I guess that was before global warming.” “I think back then it was all open to the ocean, so there was quite a wind,” one of the guests said. “Now there are all the hedges blocking the wind.” “Well, maybe that’s it.” With lunch over, we headed back east, stopping at Bob’s Country Market in Bridgehampton, and then farther to the east into the center of the wildest storm we’d experienced in several years. The sky went black, the lightning bolts crashed down and the rain became such a torrent, blowing sideways because of the wind, that we could barely see out the windshield. We slowed as we

entered East Hampton. I worried about our dog. He hates thunder and lightning. People in cars were driving wildly about, panic stricken. It was a frightening thing. We went slowly. As we came up Three Mile Harbor Road, it became apparent we were arriving just as the worst of it was bashing right across Three Mile Harbor and into the front of our house. The boats rocked furiously in their slips and with the tide unbelievably high, were trying to climb up onto the sidewalk. A power line was down where a tree had fallen onto the road just beyond our house. (continued on page 56)

bunch of other planets that were revolving around the sun, too — were all headed somewhere through the ethos at a very, very high speed. As this is written, nobody knows exactly where we are all going. Or even if there is a “where.” So far, it seems, we haven’t even figured out if “where” is an appropriate question. In fact, now it is beginning to seem that we are raising more questions than we are answering. Maybe — and this is REALLY scary — we humans are just not smart enough to figure all this out, which is a thought that brings us right back into the laps of the religious leaders, who say, “We’ve been telling you all along that this stuff is just a big mystery — and only God knows the absolute truth.” Well, we down here on earth, walking around on the surface of the planet, have our own little troubles. Here in the Hamptons, for reasons that apparently got set up wrong in the first place by some people a long time ago, the summer solstice does not coincide with the summer season. If it had been done properly, our threemonth-long summer season would begin on May 5, and end on August 5.

Wait a minute. This doesn’t account for the fact that things take a long time to heat up or cool down. And we’re talking pretty big events here, from our little perspective. The giant ocean takes almost three months after the solstice for its temperature to begin to drop. The highest air temperature we get happens in August. So, it’s not like a teapot coming to a boil in just a few minutes. Maybe the season is where it ought to be then. I take back what I said.

Ever wonder why the planets revolving around the sun aren’t bigger closest to the sun and smaller the further out they go? Or if it’s the other way around? Ever wonder why only one of the planet has rings around it? Ever wonder about that? Huh? As this is written, we’ve got a metal contraption sitting on Mars digging a hole looking for signs of life. Of course there is life on Mars. And if this contraption doesn’t find it, it’s because it is not digging down far enough. Here on earth two weeks ago, digging down deep into our planet toward our core — what do you know — there are little bugs and worms living there. Who knew? Well, one thing is true, and that is that we are the first species in history to ever screw up the atmosphere of a planet because we were smart enough to invent fun things that emitted gasses, but we were not smart enough to know when to put those inventions in a closet. They say if you go for a walk in the woods and approach a fern leaf backwards without looking, and then collect the seed spores without touching the leaf, you’ll have the power to make yourself invisible. •

Memoir of 1/2 Century In the Hamptons, Written in Africa, Excerpted in Newsday By Dan Rattiner As some of you know, I have written a memoir called In the Hamptons. It was bought by Random House and on May 6, just over a month ago, it made its debut. It has gotten what only can be called sensational reviews, is flying off the shelves and, on Sunday, will be excerpted in Newsday. They are reprinting an entire chapter of the book, and though I am not sure which one, I suspect it is either “Billy Joel” or “Frank Mundus.” Billy Joel you know. Frank Mundus is the famous Montauk shark fisherman who landed one-and-a-half-ton killer sharks and, way back when, was selected as the model for the role of

the fishing boat captain in the movie Jaws. Each chapter in the book is about a particular individual. The subtitle of the book is “Fifty Years With Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities,” and I have been going around the East End every Saturday morning reading these chapters in the locations they took place. Billy Joel’s chapter, for example, will be read at the Coecles Harbor Boat Works on Shelter Island. You’ll have to come to that on June 21 at 11 a.m. to find out what that’s all about. Or, if you’d like to attend a reading sooner, come to BookHampton Southampton this Saturday at 5 p.m. Besides Newsday, I’ve been on NPR (three

times), ABC-TV and Channel 11. I have had a feature on the front page of The New York Times Long Island section, and was a pick of the month in National Geographic Traveler. Upcoming, I am scheduled to be on Channel 11, CNBC and NBC. What I really want to talk about in this article, however, is how this book came to be written. The majority of it got written at night by lantern light during the month of April 2006 on safari in Africa. Chris and I spent that entire month there. We were in South Africa at Kruger, Zambia at the Victoria Falls, and for three of the four (continued on the next page)

SHINNECOCK SCUFFLE OVER WHO OWNS WHAT By Greg Burt Two weeks ago, at least four people were injured in a brawl when two members of the Shinnecock tribe confronted a group of adult campers on the beach at Westwoods in Hampton Bays and informed them they were trespassing and had to move. The confrontation has spurred Southampton Town to discuss with the tribe exactly who gets to do what there — and who Dan Rattiner is the founder of Dan's Papers. His memoir, In the Hamptons: Fifty Years With Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities, published by Harmony Books, is currently available wherever books are sold.

doesn’t. And camping out isn’t the only activity at issue. Driving on the beach or landing a boat there are also in contention. The 80-acre Westwoods property, located along Newtown Road, several miles from reservation boundaries, is owned by the Shinnecock Nation but is not technically part of the reservation, having been acquired separately. Since there is no public right of way through Westwoods from the main road, you can only get onto the beach by boat from the water side, scrambling down the cliff face from the land side, or driving along the water’s edge in a sort of neutral zone, between the high and low water

marks. That right of way, said to be 75 feet wide, was put in place back in the 1600s. The founding fathers wanted to make sure there was access to the plentiful timber and stone in the area. The right of way still exists today, sort of. Under more recent laws, which say that a waterfront property owner’s rights end at the high water mark, the road is generally considered to be open to the public. And in fact, on Monday, Shinnecock tribal leader Lance Gumbs confirmed that the tribe does not recognize a public right of way along the shore, whether the (continued on page 60)

weeks in Botswana, the African country with the greatest number of large animals on the continent. Indeed, it can be said that Botswana has the greatest number of animals free to roam around without hindrance in one place. About 10 years ago, the president of that nation decreed that all fences in the entire country had to come down. And so they were. Now the animals run free. And that means personal encounters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; accompanied by armed guides, of course â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with wild elephants, lions, cheetahs, hippos, rhinos and leopards. What in the world does Botswana have to do with the Hamptons and a book I might write? Absolutely nothing. And so I have had to dig further to find the reason why this book was written there. I think it is emotional.

Anybody who tells you that they have gone on safari in Africa and were not scared, especially in the dark, is a liar. During the month we were there, we learned, because it was in the newspapers, that a doctor from Cincinnati had poked a crocodile in the eye with an oar while in the Zambia River, and he would be alive today if he had not done that. There was the case of an elephant that charged a man, his wife and child as they walked down the dusty street in Livingstone the day after we were there, and now they were hunting this elephant down to kill him. He must have been berserk to do what he did. Only the man survived.

name of a town because they are not in any town â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we were told not to go out after dark without a camp guide. And so, of course, we did not. Except, of course, for me. I still wrote my articles for the newspaper even while in Africa. I was determined to do it in a place where there is no phone service, no electricity after dark (they turn off the generator), no cell phone service, no Internet, you travel from one camp to another only by small plane, and if in your tent there is an emergency, you have a knife and a very large bell to clang. The only connection to the outside world was a big tower with an antenna on the top from which the campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satellite phone worked, at $2 a minute, and then only to the base camp. What I brought with me was my laptop computer, a long cable and a second device that looked like another clamshell laptop, but which was actually a satellite dish that I had rented from an Arizona firm for $45 a month. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d set that outside the tent at night, aim the dish toward a point 20 degrees almost due north, and hone in on a satellite there that was sitting stationary a few miles up over Egypt. I actually succeeded with this. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d charge my regular laptop during the day while we were out photographing giraffes, cheetahs, kudus and white rhinoceroses. We watched three lions stalk a herd of wildebeest. We watched a migration of zebras pass before our eyes for four hours. Then at night, by lantern light, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hook the laptop up by a computer cable to the dish on the tent deck. The dish needed a direct, unobstructed view of the satellite. I could not do it all indoors. So on many nights of the week, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be inside looking at the range finder on the laptop, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d unzip the tent flap, go outside, zip up the tent flap, re-adjust the dish toward the satellite, and then go back inside the way I had come to see if I was on the mark or would have to go out again. Usually, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get it after five or six tries. There were things hooting and roaring and snuffling out there. Occasionally youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hear a scream from a monkey. And it was pitch dark. After a few nights of this, I thought it was kind of fun. Except that the only days I needed to be in contact with the office in Bridgehampton were Monday, Tuesday and Friday. What about the other days? Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I wrote most of the chapters for In the Hamptons. I wrote a chapter about George Plimpton and the Artist and Writers softball game there. I wrote a chapter about the house mover Bob Kennelly and when a house he was moving fell on him; he lived and was back at work a month later. I wrote about Jackson Pollock and about Willem de Kooning and how, for years, he kept on painting even after he fell into a severe and terminal dementia. One afternoon, in the Kabala camp, the manager of the place, an Aussie, asked me to show him and the assistant manager how this worked. We were in the dining tent and I set it up on the table there with the wire to the dish on a railing outside. (continued on page 36)

The Worms Crawl In Plague of Biblical Proportions Brings Homeowner to Her Knees By Susan Galardi As we all know by now, global warming isn’t a theory — we’ve become painfully aware of the havoc it has wreaked in so many arenas. And now, thanks to temperature changes, another oddity has reared its head. Inchworms, inchworms. Measuring the marigolds and munching through everything in their path. The reason many of us on the East End have been besieged year after year by this plague of biblical proportions is because of warmer temperatures: The only way the inchworm cycle can be broken is if the temperature stays under 20 degrees for five days in a row. And now, a word from our sponsor, the Cornell Cooperative Extension. The technical name for the inchworm is “cankerworm” — a disgusting name for a disgusting insect. Cankerworms are native to this country. The

larvae (worms) come in green, black and Hamptons-awning black/green stripe. They use the little legs on the front and back of their bodies to hold onto your leaves, clothes, hair, car and skin as they hump along. They also have the annoying habit of spinning down from the trees on silken threads. They prefer oaks, apples and elms, but will eat just about anything, including pine needles. They went after my Japanese maple, ornamental cherry and — the last straw — my son’s strawberry plant. The unbridled gluttony goes on for about four weeks until, fat and sated, they drop and bury themselves up to four inches underground in silken cocoons. It’s the unrelenting eating that is most disgusting. As they devour leaves, the pitter-patter you hear is not the sound of crunching. It’s far more sinister: It’s actually the sound of their “frass” (otherwise known as excrement)

falling onto other leaves, your car, hat, etc. Cankerworms have infested the Northwest Woods in East Hampton for three seasons, including this one. For the previous two years, I toughed it out. Last season, about three weeks into the scourge, Dan’s gardening columnist April Gonzales assured me that it would be over soon. And since I’m dead set against using harmful chemicals that are toxic to my family and the East End’s groundwater, I did just that — putting off opening the pool and avoiding the outside for a few weeks. But this year was worse than ever. Overnight they seemed to double in size and quadruple in number. Last Sunday, I reached my moment of truth. Eating a Fearless Frank, I looked out the kitchen window. A gang of cankerworms was positioned on the top of my wheelbarrow handle. Gripping the handle at (continued on the next page)

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN NEED COUNSELING NOW By Dan Rattiner Debbie Foster is one of the more prominent members of the Town of East Hampton. She was a long-time teacher in the Springs School, one of those that those she taught do not forget. She taught gym and coached some of the sports teams, and she was outspoken on the issues of the day. She taught every one of my kids. Her retirement was a big event in this town. After retiring from teaching, she ran for, and won, a seat on the East Hampton Town Board as a Democrat. She served three terms there and retired from that only a few months ago.

She was in the news last week in a way that she might not have liked, but which is one of the major ways you get in the news here in the early part of the 21st century. She was on YouTube. And she starred in her own little one-and-a-half minute show, as it happened, just moments after she and some other people were thrown out of the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel where the Democratic National Convention Rules Committee meeting was being held. You can watch her there, just outside of the meeting, talking to a reporter, trying to control her emotions after being thrown out. Just type in YouTube.com and search for

“Deb Foster.” In the search, her video is the second one down. The scene in that hall is tumultuous. Inside, the rules committee is either voting or is about to vote on what to do about Florida and Michigan, which held their votes in the primary earlier than the rules permit and would therefore have to be penalized in some way. The range of things to be done went from nothing, and letting the delegates from those states be seated at the convention and voting (mostly for Hillary), or barring them from having their votes count altogether. Apparently, a compro(continued on page 48)

one end, they stretched toward me like tiny rotten black fingers, curling up as if to dare me to come outside. Other worms swung in front of the window on threads — demented, tiny Tarzans. I lost my appetite. Later, dressed in date-night finery, my partner and I made the 50-foot dash from our house to the car. For the first part of the trip to Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center, we drove in disgusted silence as I picked worms off our clothing, the car seats and dashboard. In desperation, I called Gonzales from the car. Living in Southampton north, she also had the problem and, fearing that another season of defoliation would weaken or kill some lovely old oaks on her property, she had opted for the organic treatment Bacillus thuringiensis, or BT, which provided good results. Considering that my property has been chemical-free for three years, I was determined to go that route. I started calling pest control people, leaving desperate, pleading messages to call at once! Surprisingly, an actual person picked up the phone. Kevin Kavanaugh is a certified arborist and Columbia University graduate with his own business on the East End. When he heard the desperation in my voice, he promised to get to the house on Monday. I told him of my disdain for using harsh chemicals, and he recommended a product called Provaunt. It’s “nonneighbor notification” treatment, meaning it requires less regulation than other products. I was still reluctant to use anything but organic, but Kavanaugh told me that, to be effective,

BT needs be used very shortly after the worms hatch. It was too late. “You know, we could take heroine, arsenic, marijuana — and call it organic,” Kavanaugh said. “Once a manmade product is introduced it can’t be called organic.” The product Kavanaugh used is designed to kill only the caterpillars, not helpful insects like ladybugs. As we walked around the property, he educated me on the difference between the caterpillars and the gypsy moths (hairy, fat, uglier). Despite ads on the radio, the East End is not really affected by gypsy moths this year. According to Kavanaugh, rainy springs have helped minimize that population. I learned of many other blights on the property: My boxwoods have a leaf miner. The Alberta spruce has mites (“It’s in stress,” he said). The andromeda has lace bugs. What will I do about it? Probably nothing. I can live with anything but cankerworms. But even if I decided to take action, Kavanaugh explained the modern approach to pest control. “Guys used to come in and bomb everything with pesticides,” he said. “Now, you find the problem — like the leaf miner — and you go right up to the boxwood to fix it.” Kavanaugh also explained that the reason for many pests is that, in landscaping, people

put things together that look nice but make no sense in the natural world. Where in a Long Island forest would you find an andromeda or boxwood growing naturally under an oak tree? There are Colorado blue spruce throughout the East End and they all have problems. But there’s one place where the spruce are unaffected: Colorado. I left my property, and left Kavanaugh to his work. By the time I got home that night, my partner had already spent over an hour spraying dead cankerworms from the porches and walkways. The property was clean. The next morning, I went to my car and saw not one worm. I wish I would’ve been able to go organic and next year, if the situation returns, I will do that. I urge everyone to do the same. We live above our water source here on the East End, and whatever we spray or lay above it, ends up seeping into it. But this season, I had to make a less perfect choice and as a result, I can work in my yard and walk to the car without brandishing a broom like a mad bushman, looking like a character from Ulee’s Gold. And as I hope against hope for a frosty winter, I can’t help but think that the pests and scourges are nature’s way of reminding us that it isn’t called the Northwest WOODS for nothing.

What’s on Your Plate? Artists Contribute Time and Original Works to Gala Benefit By Victoria L. Cooper “There is a direct and straightforward relationship between the artist and The Retreat. We can see with immediacy the results of our efforts. We can enjoy the appreciation for our gift……and the fact that the funds will ultimately help people who are in need,” said artist Giancarlo Impiglia, of Bridgehampton. Impiglia, who’s originally from Rome, Italy, is one of the 20-plus artists involved in The Retreat’s 13th annual summer gala, “Artists Against Abuse,” which will be held Saturday, June 21 at the Ross School in East Hampton. This year’s honorary chair is actress Lorraine Bracco, and Hope Award honorees include

Allstate Insurance Company, Bridgehampton National Bank, and Rob Davis, Founder, Hedge Funds Care. This signature event features a silent auction of specially commissioned hand painted plates by artists of many stripes, plus a live auction of select original works of art — all to benefit the Retreat, which provides safety, shelter and support for victims of domestic abuse. To date, this benefit has raised over $1 million for the organization. East Hampton artist Grant Haffner, who has contributed a plate, explained, “Art is transformative, healing, and meditative, which is what The Retreat is all about. The plates all possess a playful, sweet and joyful quality that will

lighten the soul. And to top it off – the plates will look great in your home, on the wall or serving family dinner.” But why plates? Why not photographs, sculptures or paintings on canvas? With each artist limited to the same material and size, it’s clear how diverse this group is — not only in technique, but in their inviting, aesthetic appeal. Not to mention subject matter, which features everything from horses to a little bulldog, and even an entirely black plate with a sliver fly on it. As anyone can see by looking at the outrageously varied designs on the plates, each (continued on the next page)

PRESERVING THE COMMUNITY AMID THE FRACAS By T.J. Clemente What is the purpose of a Community Preservation Fund if not to preserve all aspects of the community? The East End of Long Island is at a crossroads concerning open lands, historic buildings, traditional farms and the administration of all of the above. Recently, the supervisors of both East Hampton and Southampton were thrown a curve when legislation by State Assemblymen Ted Thiele and Mark Alessi, along with State Senator Kenneth La Valle, included provisions that basically eliminated or severely reduced CPF monies from being used for salaries and administrative costs. However, a subsequent meeting, according to Scott H. Wilson, Director of

Land Acquisition, “has eliminated that threat.” When the trio of state representatives created the CPF in 1998, it was celebrated with a signing on a Southampton farm field by then Governor George Pataki. The 2% tax collected on the amount of a real estate transaction over $250,000 was estimated to bring in $100 million over 10 years. Instead the tax has brought in over $520 million to date. The original piece of CPF state legislation allowed 10% of the collected money to go toward administrative costs, now estimated to be around $500,000 per year Southampton and around $230,000 for East Hampton. With both East Hampton and South Hampton townships’ spending of this money being audit-

ed, concerns are now being raised as to whether the commotion is in fact affecting the forward progress of projects such as the purchase of the 28 acres of Boy’s Harbor, the Lester House, corner of Cedar and Main Streets (both in East Hampton), the Struk Farmers Market on Route 27 in Amagansett, and the Strong property (where Pike’s farm stand operates). According to Wilson, the audits and questions have had no bearing on these projects. The perception of problems may have started when it was reported that East Hampton Supervisor William McGintee co-mingled CPF funds and town funds to patch up an $8 million budget shortfall in East Hampton.

Artists

(continued from previous page)

artist has a different voice and “take” on his or her role. John Battle, who made a “hot plate” so to speak, explained, “I work in mostly metals and I like the implied message my plate presents. Survivors have found their metal and moved on to a life free from violence. Each of us has a strong metal core, each of us can help make a difference.” Each of the artists involved is committed to bringing awareness to domestic abuse and many of them have found inspiration in helping others. Artist Dan Rizzie said he is involved with the Retreat because it’s an organization that offers a real solution in a situation where there often seems to be no solution at all. Rizzie and his partner Susan Lazarus have also volunteered their certified therapy dog, Vex, to visit safe houses spon-

sored by the Retreat. “One needs only to look at the expression on a child’s face when a person walks into a safe house with a pet. It’s a treat to give something back to an organization that gives so much to our society,” he said. Artist Harriet Sawyer of North Haven commented, “I found myself wanting to give back to the community and my husband, Richard, found the Retreat. My continued participation enables me to do something personal for the community.” Other participating artists this year are: Wolf Kahn, April Gornik, Andrew Wyeth, Donald Sultan, Dan Christensen, Jimmy Ernst, Jane Johnson, Karen Kluglein, Mickey Paraskevas, Michael Veira, Jill Musnicki, Steven Romm, Stephanie Brody-Lederman, Tulla Booth, Lew Zacks, James McMullan, Howard Kanovitz, Peter Dayton, Ronnie Chalif, and Dallas Ernst. There’s a special preview of the plates this Saturday, June 14, from 6-8 p.m. at the Hampton Road Gallery in Southampton. Gallery owner Peter Marcelle has become an integral part of “Artists Against Abuse,” helping find donations for the auction and now hosting its first pre-party sale. It’s abuzz that there might even be some special one-time-only additional pieces for art lovers that night. Also on auction at the summer gala are signed prints by Andrew Wyeth and Donald Sultan, an original, a limited edition April Gornik print, Bryan Hunt original watercolor, Ross Bleckner print, and originals by Rizzie, Jack Gerber Tom Judd, Kathleen Gilge,

Jim Wilcox, Dan Christensen and Jimmy Ernst. Founded in 1987 in East Hampton, The Retreat is a not-for-profit organization that provides both residential and non-residential services free of charge, including an 18-bed shelter, 24-hour crisis hotline, counseling, legal advocacy and an award winning in-school violence prevention education program. The Retreat is the only domestic violence agency on the East End, which is why the “Artists Against Abuse” gala is such an important event for the entire Hamptons community.

On the Waterfront Recession? Don’t Tell the Mega-Yachts on Sag Harbor Docks By T.J. Clemente Worried about rising fuel prices? Thinking about getting rid of your gas guzzler and going hybrid? What about your boat? How would you like to own a cigarette powerboat with two 750-horsepower Hawk Engines that devour marine fuel at around $5 per gallon? Yes, you can go broke on land, or on the water driving 85 miles per hour. With many people complaining about the costs of putting their boats back in the water, it was an awakening to take a stroll down the private docks of Sag Harbor, home to megayachts that never leave the water (they just move to warmer ports). Walking the dock is

like being in another world. Multi-million-dollar, Italian-built, high-tech, carbon-fiber sailboats are docked next to sleek, 100-foot-plus ocean cruising yachts. Rumor has it that on the drawing board are new mega-yachts that will use large sails as well. Mega-yachts going green, what a concept, but it’s happening. One gentleman at the Sag Harbor dock had just come from Fort Lauderdale on his 93-foot yacht (small, compared to some of the others docked there). He said the one-week journey used up about $43,000 in fuel. Claiming his boat was too large for the Intracoastal Waterway, he traveled right up the Atlantic Ocean. A 2008, 100-foot Hatteras comes with a

5,000-gallon fuel tank — those fill-ups must be fun to put on the credit card. Operating estimates for 100-foot yachts start at about $36,000 per week, when fully staffed and in use. Many notables keep their yachts in Sag Harbor in lieu of buying megahomes (and some do both). In his final years, Johnny Carson docked his 103-foot West Bay yacht, “Serengeti,” in Sag Harbor for the high season. His wife Alexis often shopped around town while Johnny stayed on board. Last summer, Prudential Douglas Elliman chairman Howard Lorber often entertained on his yacht, the 100-foot “Useless.” (continued on the next page)

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE, BUT NOT FROM TOWN By David Lion Rattiner For most of us, our water comes right out of our faucet, clear as day and good enough to drink. You can sip with confidence thanks to the Suffolk County Water Authority, which has been servicing Long Island since 1951. Though not all homes have public water, 27 at Camp Hero in Montauk will be the latest recipients when 8,600 feet of pipe is be laid in September. What does this mean for those 27 homes? The answer lies in the larger discussion of water throughout the Hamptons: well water (or ground water), public water, and water that is filtered by homeowners. First, it’s worth

explaining the terms well water and public water, which some people refer to as public water. This is is the best possible option for your home. Public water is provided by the Suffolk County Water Authority, which treats and tests the water they pump in to thousands of homes two to three times a week. A senior clerk at SWCA who requested anonymity said, “Some people have well water, but we’re not responsible for that. There is a big benefit to having public water because we monitor the water, making it very safe to drink. I personally would not use well water to drink unless I had it tested constantly. Public water is con-

stantly tested. We have pump stations throughout the area and we shut down pumps at the push of a button if any problem occurs. If you want to get onto the property near a pump station, you have to be authorized. Well water, on the other hand, is left up to the owner to monitor. So if pesticides or other chemicals were to reach your well, the only way we would know about it would be for the owner to call us and have us send out a tester.” Well water is water pumped up from a private well somewhere beneath a homeowner’s property, via pipes and an electric powered (continued on page 38)

After I was reading my email and showing him how I uploaded attachments, the two of them stared at it for the longest time. “We need one of these here,” the Aussie mumbled. He might have said this is the end of life as we know it. The scariest of my editing sessions came at Kwara Camp. Our tent faced out onto a swampy pond where nine hippos wallowed. They spend all day there and occasionally you’d hear them snort or bellow. At night, according to our manager, they’d rumble slowly onto the shore and in the coolness of the night, find some place in the camp to all lie down and go to

Yachts

sleep together in a big pile. The manager said, “Just stay away from them, and you’ll be fine.” That evening, our first night in Labala, I determined by looking at a small compass on the dish that north was directly over some low bushes that stood between us and the pond. There was a part of the tent deck on the side that had a clear shot at Egypt. So I’d put it there. I think you know where this is going. After several false starts, I got the rig going and was typing away when I heard what, at first, I thought was a very large person sloshing through the swamp just beyond the bushes. I

could hear one foot, then another foot, then another. Of course this had to be the hippos. After a while, all seven of the other hippos followed, and within five minutes they were settling not 10 feet from our tent. As soon as the last of them arrived, they began honking and grunting at one another in a soft, reassuring way. It was some kind of bedtime story. And it went on and on, and the noises spaced further and further apart until the breathing got more regular and, finally, they all fell asleep and it all stopped. I left the satellite dish out there all night. • They were gone in the morning.

watched Robert De Niro, then wife Christy Brinkley and Joel dock the “Alexa Ray” out at the Montauk Marine Basin after a fishing excursion. Today, however, Joel keeps his boats close to his Bay Street condo and his private dock. It must be mentioned

that most mega-yachts are businesses for charter. Diddy and other stars often rent mega-yachts for a season. But for those who’d rather buy than rent, prices of used, 100foot yachts start around $2.3 million and dance upwards from there. Custom-built, bare-boned new ones start around $7 million, but usually run in the $20-30 million range. Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen’s yacht, “Octopus,” is estimated to cost just over $200 million — but that toy is 416 feet long and carries a Range Rover. Larry Ellison, Oracle’s head honcho, also has a $200 million, 452-foot yacht named “Rising Sun,” complete with an on-board Cadillac. So while at the pump, scraping your boat bottom, think of the yacht owner budgeting about $36,000 per week and up for his hobby. Many dock their toys in Sag Harbor during the season — it’s what the very rich have been doing since The Gilded Age. In fact, it was one of the Vanderbilts who said, “If you have to ask how much, it’s not for you.”

Another famous visitor every year is the Moet & Chandon yacht, a sleek, world-class, round-the-world racing sailboat. Also present at the moment is a new state-of-the-art power boat that Billy Joel designed, called the “Vendetta.” The sleek stern and black and gold colors are breathtaking. The piano man uses this yacht perhaps to cruise to Montauk and points beyond, whereas he may use his other boat, the “Alexa Ray,” for fishing. Years back I

DAN'S PAPERS, June 13, 2008 Page 37 www.danshamptons.com

Who’s Here By Debbie Tuma In her 35 years of performing in numerous roles on stage, in films, on television and in cabaret, Christine Ebersole considers the Broadway musical Grey Gardens the highlight of her career. “I was privileged to be able to partake in this great work of art, and I was devoted to these two amazing mother and daughter characters,” she said of Big Edie Bouvier Beale and Little Edie, both of whom she played. “I love playing parts that are well written, and a majority of parts I’ve played are of strong women.” In a phone interview from her home in Maplewood, New Jersey, Ebersole said she was a “big fan” of the documentary Grey Gardens, made in 1975 by brothers Albert and David Maysles in East Hampton. She said she just “became” these two different women on stage, as she does with every role in her own unique way. In Act I she played Big Edie in the 1940s, and in Act II she played Little Edie in the 1970s. Of the two characters, she said she actually preferred playing Little Edie because of the character’s emotional range. The show was a hit. Ebersole said after one performance, Lee Radziwill, Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ sister, came backstage to tell her she “really liked the show.” Ebersole said she felt that part of her success was that she was able to relate to the “nonconformity and free-spirit nature” of the two characters. “I like to see myself that way,” she said. “With acting, you just get inside of the play and go on the journey of being able to embody and embrace that character, and take the audience on that journey with you.” It was this particular journey that won her a second Tony Award for Leading Actress in a Musical, following her first in 2001 for the Broadway hit, 42nd Street. In his review, Ben Brantley of The New York Times called it “Possibly the greatest performance I’ve ever seen in a musical!” When asked how she felt winning her second Tony for Grey Gardens, she quipped, “It felt like I climbed Mount Everest, and put my flag on the summit. I felt so honored to be part of it.” The show opened on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre on November 2, 2006 to rave reviews, and after 307 performances and 33 previews, closed after a final performance on July 29, 2007. Ebersole was supposed to go to

Christine Ebersole Actress/Singer London with the show, but plans changed, and for now it is on hold, while regional productions continue to spring up around the country. A movie, starring Jessica Lange as Big Edie and Drew Barrymore as Little Edie, is due out in the next year.

ing it, and their things,” said Ebersole. “This house is a living, breathing, vibrant space that pays homage to the Beales.” Ebersole also came out to the Hamptons in recent years to kick off the annual Artists and Writers Softball Game in East Hampton, with her rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” And she performed at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor in 2004, in Tom Stoppard’s play, Rough Crossing. “I loved performing at this theatre, which has a great stage in a wonderful location on the water,” she said. This summer, she will once again be journeying to the Hamptons to sing at two venues. On June 20, at the John Drew Theatre in East Hampton, she will do a concert with Billy Stritch. They will perform songs from their new album, Sunday in New York. Then, on August 9, she will appear at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center, where she will do another concert with James Naughton. “I’m very excited to be coming back to the Hamptons,” she said. “I love it there — it’s one of my favorite places on earth. I’d like to be there more, but with my schedule, it’s not easy,” she mused. While here on June 20, she said she hopes to get over to The Gallery in Sag Harbor, to view the paintings of East Hampton artist Lois Wright, who lived at Grey Gardens for a year and painted her memories. Ebersole grew up in Winnetka, Illinois, where she discovered her passion for acting and singing at the New Trier School. She attended MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Illinois, before moving to New York City to study acting at the famed American Academy of Dramatic Arts. “I decided at age 20 that I wanted to become an actress,” she said. “In high school I played the violin, and I was always able to sing.” While in New York City, she was working as a waitress, like many hopeful actors, when she got her first break and made her debut on Broadway in Angel Street. She then went on to star in such Broadway hits as I Love My Wife with Joanna Gleason and James Naughton; On the Twentieth Century, with Kevin Kline and Imogene Coca; Oklahoma!; Camelot opposite Richard Burton; and Getting Away with Murder. Ebersole then appeared in numerous movies, including the Academy Award-winning Amadeus, Tootsie, Thief of Hearts, Bill Cosby’s

“ I was devoted to these two amazing mother and daughter characters . . . A majority of parts I’ve played are of strong women.” Ebersole finally got to see the real Grey Gardens estate for herself when she came to the East End to sing at owner Ben Bradlee’s 80th birthday party in 2006. “I love this house — I told his wife, Sally Quinn, that she was going to heaven for restor-

She also entered the world of television, cast as a member of the 1981-82 season of Saturday Night Live, with Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo. She received an Emmy Award nomination during her stint as Maxie McDermott in One Life to Live, and also starred in The Cavanaughs, Rachel Gunn, RN and Valerie.

With such a demanding career, Ebersole is grateful to her husband, Bill Moloney, who works in real estate, for his continued support. “He has always been really supportive of my projects and my career,” she said. They have a full house, with three adopted children, and numerous pets, including three dogs and three cats. In addition to acting, Ebersole’s passions include human and animal rights.

metallic elements found in the earth’s crust. Water percolating through soil and rock can dissolve minerals containing iron and manganese and hold them in solution. Less than 10 years ago, most people on this street, where houses are valued at a million dollars and above, used bottled water for drinking. After a push by local citizens, led by Ray Hartjen, the SCWA laid out some water pipes and sent public water to the homes on Gerard, just as they’ll be doing at Camp Hero. The good news is that it’s relatively easy to have your well water tested, and learn about how to mitiagate any problems, by calling the Suffolk County Health Department (631-8525810). Odds are the well water you use is safe, but it is worth a call and a test to be sure. Of course, you could petition for town water. Having a large team of scientists and employees testing the water in your house every week

is probably better than drinking the water pumped out from your well. As far as bottled water vs. tap water is concerned, if you are using public water, feel free to drink away. In fact, SCWA water or any source of water that is treated by a public authority is just as safe to drink as bottled water. In some ways, bottled water may be lower in quality than public water because the Food and Drug Administration, which oversees the bottled water industry, requires water testing only when the bottling plant is opened. It does not require testing throughout the year. Also, the chemicals in the plastics of bottled water leach out into it. Although bottled water is certainly safe to drink, there’s no assurance that the quality is any better than public water. Bottled water should be viewed as a convenience because it is portable, but other than that there is no proven health benefit.

pump. The key difference between well water and SCWA water is the treatment and the testing. With well water, the onus of responsibility is on the homeowner to have it tested and treated to discover if any chemicals or bacteria have gotten into the well. The trouble with well water is that if there is a problem with it — like a new contaminate — it can go unnoticed, even for years. Although filtering well water has value, it does not necessarily treat the water for chemical or bacterial contamination. So if a homeowner has the option, public water is the way to go for some very obvious reasons. In East Hampton on Gerard Drive, before SCWA provided service to the road, homeowners would turn on their faucets and rusty colored water would come out. This is because the well water on Gerard Drive contained natural iron and manganese, which are common

In 1997, Ebersole made her first appearance in cabaret in 17 years, and had a successful run with standing-room-only performances at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Cinegrill. This led to the recording of her first solo CD, Christine Ebersole: Live at the Cinegrill. After 14 years in Los Angeles, she returned to the East Coast in 1999 and has continued to work since, in concerts, cabaret and on Broadway, with performances in Mame, 42nd Street, Dinner at Eight and Steel Magnolias.

Twentysomething…By David Lion Rattiner The Ego Boost Everywhere I go lately people have been turning their heads at me, especially women. They completely turn around as I drive by, and smile and wave. I smile and wave back, give a wink and speed off. I’m the man, I think. I love being me. Life is good. Besides being incredibly fuel-efficient, the Smart Car gets a lot of attention on the road. But if you’re like me, you might for at least half a day (or a month) think they are turning heads and smiling at you because of your insanely cool hairstyle (I’ve been sporting mine since sixth grade). Pretending you are a super-stud while driving a Smart Car is one of the many benefits of owning one. I think that driving around in a Smart Car isn’t all that different from being a celebrity. Reality hit me the other day, however, when I borrowed my Dad’s truck to move some furniture. I was getting scowls while driving. Looks that said, “When are you going to get rid of that gas-guzzling SUV?” Looks that said, “How are you affording the gas on that thing?” I felt kind of guilty driving it around. A friend of mine, whom I will keep anonymous so he doesn’t get stoned to death, owns a Hummer. He can’t sell it because who the hell is gonna buy a Hummer these days? So he keeps his Hummer in his yard and occasionally drives it down the street, which, as far as

1141934

gas is concerned, costs him about $1,400 a month. He was walking down North Main Street and I was sitting in my Smart Car while it was parked. He walked up to my window with a big smile on his face, “How does it feel? Does it feel good?” “It feels great!” “Does it drive well?”

“Oh yes, it’s really nice on the road.” “Can you fit in that thing?” This is a common question that I get and it really annoys me. Of course I fit in the car. If I didn’t I wouldn’t be driving it. The car would not be selling if I didn’t fit into it. I’m a big guy, but it’s not like I’m King Kong or something. I even have video of my friend who weighs 350 pounds that fits in it just fine. IT’S A CAR, OF COURSE I CAN FIT IN IT, I’VE BEEN DRIVING IT EVERYWHERE! “Yep, I can fit in it. There is actually a lot of room in the car.” We chatted further about cars and about business, and off my friend went. I zipped back out onto the road, sort of feeling down about things and needing something to get my spirits back up. I suddenly knew exactly what it was that would put me in a good mood. I pulled a U-turn and headed down Main Street in East Hampton, looped around into the parking lot and then headed back down Newtown Lane. I was gonna do a few laps and get some attention from chicks. I mentally convinced myself that I was driving a regular car, and looked out the window. Within minutes women of all ages were waving at me like I was Brad Pitt or something. Hello ladies, I thought. There were several people turning heads. I love being me. Life is good.

BOARDING • TRAINING

As gas prices continue to rise, hitting a national average of $4 a gallon for the first time ever, 3rd Assembly District candidate Scott Salimando (R-Patchogue) has introduced a plan to provide immediate relief at the gas pump. His plan has several components, including calling for the state Attorney General to investigate price gouging by oil companies. “It’s apparent that consumers are being taken advantage of by the cartels, and it’s time that our state’s top law enforcement officer starts looking into this highway robbery,” Salimando said. “The Attorney General did this with ‘Big Tobacco,’ and it’s time to look into the dealings of ‘Big Oil.’” Salimando also champions a summer holiday from state sales taxes on gasoline, an idea heralded by East End legislators in the past couple of months, as well as a $1,000 tax credit for the purchase of a hybrid or flex fuel car, and a tax credit for 50% of the cost for gas stations that install an alternative fueling pump. “Some may say that these ideas are flights of fancy, or ask how we can afford to do this,” Salimando said. “My response is how can we not afford to do this when the incomes of so many middle class families, seniors and small business owners are being squeezed every day at the gas pump?”

Sentencing for Terri Gaines, the disgraced former secretary and treasurer for the Montauk Fire District who last year pleaded guilty to stealing $539,000 from the district between 1999 and 2005, has been postponed, yet again. As part of her plea bargain, if Gaines can sell her home in Montauk for $539,000 and use the proceeds to reimburse the fire department, she would only serve a sentence of one to three years in a state prison. If she’s unable to pay back the fire district, she’ll serve three to nine years. But because of the current sluggish real estate market, where houses are taking longer to sell and are trading for 10% less than the asking price, Gaines is having a hard time unloading the home for the listed price. And so far the judge has granted her three extensions. She now has until July 11, her next court date, to sell the house and/or come up with the money she owes the fire department. Gaines was arrested in March 2007, shocking the Montauk community. Writing fire district checks payable to herself, and even directly to credit card companies, Gaines used the taxpayers’ money to pay off gambling debts from trips to casinos in Connecticut, Las Vegas and New Orleans, as well as other vacations. She also used the money for other personal items and purposes, including Broadway tickets, beauty salons, expensive meals and clothing, and paying for her son’s private school tuition.

East Hampton’s Steven Spielberg just got the green light from Showtime for “The United States of Tara,” about a woman with multiplepersonality disorder. Spielberg will serve as producer, and Diablo Cody (of Juno fame) as writer. * * * It looks like wedding bells will be ringing somewhat soon for Southampton residents Beth Ostrosky and Howard Stern. Ostrosky has been trying on wedding gowns for the big day, with the help of Marchesa designer, Georgina Chapman. * * * Many Ford models will be staying at the East Hampton Colonial Inn this summer. The Inn is owned by Nancy Grigor, a Ford model and head of Hamptons Locations, which finds sites for movies, ad agencies, TV shows and social events. * * * Ross School’s Fifth Annual Starlight Ball, held on Saturday, May 17, raised a record $750,000 for The Steven J. Ross Scholarship Fund. The fund, which was established in 1991 at the school’s inception by Courtney Sale Ross and Steven J. Ross, ensures that all children have the opportunity to benefit from a Ross School education regardless of economic circumstances. * * * Southampton’s Isaac Mizrahi has taken his talents one step further and is now experimenting with hair pomade. His favorite brand was apparently discontinued, so Mizrahi recently spent days holed up and balancing castor oil and fragrance proportions to make his own designer blend. * * * One of the most exciting events of the summer promises to be ArtHamptons, which will take place July 10-13 on the grounds of the Bridgehampton Historical Society. There will be over $100 million worth of art represented by over 50 galleries, along with six fundraising events. Proceeds will go to local charities. On July 11, our very own Dan Rattiner will read from and sign copies of his memoir, In the Hamptons. For more information, visit arthamptons.com. * * * Rumor has it that Quogue’s Ruth Bowen, who’s been Aretha Franklin’s agent for nearly five decades, wants to retire, but the strongwilled Queen of Soul won’t let her. * * * Belle Meade, the Greek Revival mansion in Quogue once owned by Ford Models founders Eileen and Jerry Ford, is still up for grabs — and at a bargain price. The 11-bedroom home originally went on the market with The Corcoran Group last year for $10.5 million, and is now listed with Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate for $8.999 million.

The Duck Project Aims to Save Park, Pine Barrens By Daniel Simone Charrette is the French word for a wheeled cart hauled by a human being (as opposed to an animal). A charrette was dispatched by Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Beaux Arts School of Architecture. As it passed the homes of architectural students, they would fling their final drawings of a solution to an architectural problem into the cart. If a student hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completed the task, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d board the wagon and travel along while continuing to resolve the challenge. Over centuries, the word charrette came to mean an intense, joint effort, within an allotted time period for a group of engineers, environmentalists, and architects to solve a specific challenge. This weekend, that is precisely what will take place at Stony Brook University, Southampton College, with a charrette sponsored and coordinated by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The Peconic Chapter of the AIA has been collaborating with the East End community to preserve the 500-acre Hubbard County Park in Flanders that is adjacent to the 5,000-acre Pine Barrens region. East Hampton architect Eva Growney is the director of the project, which she calls the Duck Project. A group of engineers, public officials, environmentalists, architects and residents will work to create a plan to be considered by the Suffolk County Parks and Recreation Department. The goal is to recommend methodologies to help preserve the Park and Pine Barrens, which overlay two of Eastern Long Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal aquifers.

An aquifer is an underground â&#x20AC;&#x153;poolâ&#x20AC;? that collects filtered rainwater. Layers of rocks and sand regulate this natural purification process, which allows the filtered water to flow into the aquifers and ultimately disperse to natural underground wells. Development has been prohibited in the Pine Barrens because developed land and roadways diminish the effectiveness of the filtering process. Another issue of concern is the health of the Peconic Estuary System. The Hubbard County Park contributes to the vitality of the estuary and surrounding bay waters, which allow shellfish to thrive. Future development of the area might prove to be disastrous to local marine life. Commenting on the symposium, Growney said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the necessary steps to preserve and insure the sustainability of this park, the water run off will eventually flow into the Peconic Bay and pollute those waters, to the detriment of marine life. Therefore, it is important that if any development occurs, it must take into consideration the environmental conservation of the land.â&#x20AC;? According to Growney, the symposium has other preservation goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proposing to refurbish the various historical structures on the property, including bay garages, some of which were used in raising ducks,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These buildings would be open to the general public and used as a showcase to demonstrate the alternate ways and means now available for building environmentally

responsible homes and other buildings. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve coined this phrase: Humanity for smart planet living. If everyone would be mindful of the wear and tear that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re placing on the environment and clean up some of our bad habits, it would make a world of difference.â&#x20AC;? Members of the symposium will discuss state-of-the-art, environmentally sound techniques and building materials, as well as alternative energy solutions like wind-powered generators, solar panels, and geothermal concepts. During the symposium, Growney and her team will address the topic of sustainability, which includes environmental survival, economical sustenance and social wellbeing. Peter Arsenault, Vice President of the National AIA, said the symposiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is â&#x20AC;&#x153;ultimately working to identify a conceptual vision for what the future of the park could be like for generations to come.â&#x20AC;? The symposium is endorsed by local public officials include Assemblymen Steven Engelbright and Fred Thiele, and County Legislator Jay Schneiderman and congressman Tim Bishop. Growney invites the public to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be an open discussion. So we want as many people to come as possible.â&#x20AC;? The event is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14 at Stony Brook University, Southampton College. The Friday symposium from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. is free of charge.

Whispers THE LATEST TREND IN LATE NIGHT…… As if the full-on VIP treatment from helipad arrivals, chauffeured Cadillac Escalades and overnight stays at the Grey Goose Manor aren’t enough to entertain the young, rich and famous. Now, there seems to be another trend developing in the late night scene out East. The luxurious late-night venues are featuring live entertainment. This past Saturday evening, singer-songwriter Katy Perry had her Hamptons album release party at DUNE in Southampton. Her popular single, “I Kissed a Girl,” is #2 on iTunes, and we hear Madonna is a big fan of hers, too! Tableside were Chris Heinz and his wife, Sasha, Fergie’s man, Josh Duhmel and oil heir Brandon Davis, who ended the evening at LILY POND in East Hampton, where actress-turned-singer Taryn Manning debuted her new single, “Runaway.” Lily Pond co-owner and nightlife entrepreneur Michael Satsky revealed why these intimate performances are a perfect way to premiere a new single or help brand upcoming talent. “Celebs are attracted to clubs and playing for their peers in intimate settings, assuming it’s the right club, of course. Mixing pleasure and a little self promotion at a club is a good thing.” The Surf Lodge in Montauk debuted opening weekend with a memorable waterside live performance with Julian Marley, who created such a huge buzz for the hotel that this past Saturday was packed and several famous faces stopped by, including, “Sex and the City”’s Jason Lewis, supermodel Tyson Beckford and Molly Simms, who all cooled off to the beats by DJ James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. The Surf Lodge’s coowner Steve Kasuba is a driving force behind the hotel’s live performances. “People have really responded to the performances and live music at The Surf Lodge. It adds value to the weekend experience. It’s something to do during the in-between time before dinner and the rest of the night. Also, we are entertaining a whole bunch of people who aren’t into spending their late nights in an indoor nightclub. The beauty of the East End is in the gorgeous surroundings. I mean, really, what’s better than having a beer at sunset, on a deck, off the water, while listening to some great music?” Thanks to Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum, owners of NYC’s Tenjune and EMM Group, the performance trend doesn’t stop at the clubs. Remm and Birnbaum are known as one of the pioneer venues to incorporate performances into the normal scope of their nightclub schedule, and this summer they are taking the “performance trend” private, into their luxury entity, The Estate, in (continued on page 53)

Assisted Loving By Tricia Rayburn The quest for love can be exhausting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for anyone, let alone a recently widowed 80-yearold with a bum hip and stiff competition. Or, worse, a 45-year-old writer whose personal and professional shortcomings prevent him from accepting those of others. How to keep the romance alive when hopes are repeatedly dashed? The answer, according to an initially reluctant Bob, is simple: turn to those who are genetically required to support, encourage and, above all else, love you, no matter what. At the start of Assisted Loving: True Tales of

Double Dating with my Dad (HarperCollins, 2008), Bob visits his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grave with his father, Joe. The scene is enough to draw tears from even the most hardhearted of readers; Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother has passed away only a month before after a long, difficult illness, his father hobbles slowly through the cemetery, then softly croons his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite song, and after a few reflective moments, Joe tells Bob that he has a plot

right next to his parents. Life, love, loss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all the makings of a great literary tearjerker. You might be crying your eyes outâ&#x20AC;Śif you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laughing. The sad, serious scene, like most scenes in Assisted Loving, is lightened by Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simultaneously condescending and endearing inner monologue. He notes Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow walk and need for a hip replacement, and then silently complains that his yellow cardigan (already a major fashion donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for Bob, a style writer for The New York Times) is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a fruit salad of stains,â&#x20AC;? and in need of a dry cleaner. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moved by Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet singing, but quickly quells the emotion, since crying in front of his father would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;so uncomfortable.â&#x20AC;? And while he acknowledges the thoughtfulness of the plot purchase, he has no desire to be buried on the south shore of Long Island â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Hamptons. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a careful balance of wit and truth that Bob maintains throughout the novel, so that whenever readers start to grow even more frustrated with him than he is with himself, he reminds them that, yes, he knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a man with major issues. But doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a man with major issues deserve love, too? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question Bob seeks to answer for good, just as his father, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equally charming and equally flawed, decides to take a chance on the dating game again. Bob is tired of being alone. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tired of spending the holidays by himself at his super-successful brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posh New York City apartment while his brother and family travel. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tired of his circle of single friends growing smaller. So tired, in fact, that for a while, he throws himself into recruiting well-educated, well-to-do, silver-haired foxes for his father to avoid dealing with his own relationship failures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even going so far as to fill out an application for the reality show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who Wants to Marry My Dad?â&#x20AC;? His father, also tired of being alone less than a year after losing his wife and looking for a fun bridge partner, appreciates the help (and occasionally even asks for it), but more than anything, wants his son to find happiness. Relying on each other in ways theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never anticipated a father and son would so late in life, Bob and Joe travel across Long Island on their dating spree, into Manhattan and all the way to Palm Beach, via wheelchair and convertible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bumpy ride, and one that tests their ability to love in more than ways than one. Toward the end, Bob muses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pace around the apartment all evening. I can feel something pushing me, as if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guided by Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice, possessed. He may not be so worldly. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so brave about love. Why have I spent so much of my adult life afraid of it?â&#x20AC;? Bob may never fully realize the reasons for his fear, but after months of double dating (continued on page 51)

The Writerly Life: One on One with Bob Morris By Tricia Rayburn Assisted Loving author Bob Morris talks to Dan’s Papers about life, love and being happy in the Hamptons. Congratulations on finding love! Do you have any tips for those still searching? First of all, when I set people up on dates, I demand they try to see each other more than once. We are all so crippled by our opinions that we can’t see past them at first glance to what is wonderful about our prospects. And if you do meet someone nice, but maybe not spectacular, calm down. Open your eyes, and little by little, your heart. Love is a decision. You have to decide to be in love. Falling in love is easy — it requires no energy at all. But to be in love and stay in love despite someone’s flaws and your own neuroses, that’s the trick to building a lasting relationship. As my father once told me, “Stop looking for perfection — it’s the only way you’ll find it.” And let me just say, if the man I have ended up with were looking for perfection, he would have moved me to the recycle bin years ago. Do you think it’s possible to find your soul mate here in the Hamptons, during the area’s most “romantic” season of the year? Call me a cynic. But I don’t know that the Hamptons in season is the best place for love. Everybody is in such a keyed-up search-anddestroy mode. The scenery and parties are seductive and romantic, but I think they also

If I say yes to that I’m on my soapbox, can I add dinner party, how do I get to that maybe being right isn’t that other cocktail party? What always the most important am I missing? What’s behind thing when it comes to family? privet hedge number two? I Maybe the most important recall many summers in East thing is being nice.

No, I think love has a better chance house sharer for many years in East Hampton of taking root and blossoming anywhere but a Village, and even a trombone player with the resort area that is all about getting away to be Sag Harbor Community Band.

mise was being worked out that would get them all seated and with half a vote, which essentially ensured that Hillary would lose the nomination, and that Obama would get the nomination. We can go into that another time, but this story is about Deb Foster. She, among other Hillary supporters, saw this compromise for what it was. Something happened in there. And they were physically thrown out of the meeting because they were clogging up the wheels of progress. On YouTube, Deb Foster is emotional. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s angry, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s containing that anger as she talks to the reporter. She is also in that disheveled state you get when you are physically thrown out of a room. Reporter: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your name? Foster: Deborah Foster, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a school teacher. Reporter: Where did you come from? Foster: Long Island. Reporter: What happened? Foster: A bunch of us in the back, obviously upset with the fact that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken votes away from the state, were chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Denver! Denver!â&#x20AC;? And these guys swarmed down on me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had your last chance.â&#x20AC;? And I pulled my arm away and they hung on. (Foster pulls up her sleeve to show bruises on her arm.) Reporter: What state are you from? Foster: New York. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just so sad about my party. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been voting 40 years. Those idiot bosses in there have given me two winners in 40 years, and now they are going to tell us how people are voting and take votes away? The party elite sucks. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from a teacher. Reporter: What do you teach?

Foster: Physical education. Health. I would be embarrassed to show this to the kids. Reporter: So why did you decide to come down? Foster: I feel very strongly that this election is being manipulated away from Hillary and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not right. And boy, was it reinforced today. The big boys will come out and try and shut us up. There were Obama people chanting downstairs. I watched, and nobody came in on them. I watched. They took two other women away, too. * * * Out in that hall, the reporter interviewed another Hillary supporter who was thrown out. But this one was not able to contain herself. I found her interview because after the one-minute-and-20-second clip with Debbie takes place, YouTube immediately gives you three suggested clips to watch, suggesting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you liked this, you might like these.â&#x20AC;? This clip is one of them. The woman lashes out into the microphone, but directs her comments at the door to the meeting inside.

She starts to walk off. The reporter shouts after her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you going to vote for Obama?â&#x20AC;? She turns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am THROUGH with this party. And John McCain is going to be the next President of the United States.â&#x20AC;? She stalks off. Once this past spring, I went to a party in Manhattan for Obama that was held to honor the volunteers, mostly young women, who manned the phones for that candidate and made all the phone calls to get the vote. The party was held in an Upper East Side apartment and was thrown by a group called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women for Obama.â&#x20AC;? There were lots of speeches and â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank yousâ&#x20AC;? and applause, and among other things, a woman got up and spoke about the fact that after Obama won, if he were to win, there would be a great need for psychologists and other caregivers to help those women who voted for and supported Obama over Hillary and felt guilty about having done so â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about having failed to rally themselves behind the candidate of their own gender. I was there because I am an Obama supporter, but I do have to say I thought it a strange thing to be telling these women. But now, as I see how this has unfolded, I can very well believe how these women who might think they had betrayed others of their gender could be in need of such counseling. Surely the women who supported Hillary are in need of counseling. * * * This article was written on a laptop at Sagg Main Beach. It became clear to me as I began to write the beginning of this story that I would need the YouTube video transcribed. To save time, I used my cell phone to call the office four miles away, got an intern there, Ryan Engelbert, and asked if he would go online, go to YouTube, play the video and transcribe it into the body copy of an email that he could immediately send to my Gmail account, which had instructions to immediately forward everything to my Verizon account. Thus I got it at the beach. When I got to the part I needed, I got it on the screen of the BlackBerry, then typed it into the laptop. And here you are. Thanks, Ryan. â&#x20AC;˘

The Sheltered Islander Sheltered Islander #501 PA crews rescue nude man stuck in portable potty, AP Fri Jun. 6, 6:24 PM ET Rescue crews had to cut apart a portable toilet to rescue a man who got stuck naked inside the potty. Authorities say the 31-year-old man used his cell phone to call 911 on Sunday from inside a portable toilet. Police say the man had been drinking and had taken off his clothes. Somehow, he immersed himself in the holding tank. Deputy fire commissioner Chris Miller told WPMT-TV, “I’ve been on the job in one form or fashion for 21 years, and this is the first port-a-potty rescue I’ve ever had.” We have port-a-potties all over Shelter

Island, anywhere there is construction, which seems to be everywhere these days. And I think everyone has had a memorable port-apotty experience at least once. You’re at an event, or a visitor on Shelter Island, and you’ve got to go, and the only place to go is in the dreaded port-a-potty. As you try to open the door without touching anything — or letting anything touch you — you are met with that unmistakable smell of industrial strength, anti-microbial, mysterious blue water and raw sewage. As you step in, the porta-potty shifts. It doesn’t matter if you’re thin or fat, it shifts and you immediately think, “Oh gawd, don’t let this thing tip over...” You make

your way to the seat. You would’ve put down a paper liner, but they’re all gone, or for some reason, the whole tear-off pad of liners has been thrown in the tank. So you sit on your hands, because you can wash them later. You can hear people talking about you outside because everyone seems to forget you can hear just fine in a port-a-potty — matter of fact, the sound reception is often enhanced. Someone ought to do a study of the acoustics inside modern marvels. “Is she STILL in there?” “Geez, how long does it take?” “You think she got lost in there?” I was at a Renaissance Faire once, with two friends. We were having such a nice time until I heard this from inside the blue box: “Her ice cream cone is really dripping. I’m gonna finish for her, she’s taking too long.” “Are you holding her purse?” “Look inside and see if she has any tissues.” “Oh, wow, look at this. The condoms I understand, but handcuffs?” “Handcuffs? Her?” Inside the blue box of humiliation I called out, “Get out of my purse! The handcuffs are for a play, I’m dropping them off tonight. The condoms are my friend’s, she’s with her mother and she didn’t want her mother to know she has a boyfriend.” Outside the blue box of humiliation, they heard, “Mmmmlllllooommmuuummmtaumblah!” I finally exited the box. The six people in line, all of whom knew what was in my handbag, looked at me suspiciously as I tried to step out with dignity. But I tell you now, there’s no believable explanation you can offer for the combination of condoms and handcuffs in the same location.

privileged when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a columnist. And like a starfish that kept regenerating arms, there was always a new Hamptons kerfuffle for me to write about. I think my favorite was years ago when Ron Perelman was in the local news for trying to buy the store renting kayaks to people who were annoying him by paddling past his property on Georgica Pond. He did not succeed. Score one for the little lily-dippers! How does it feel to have finally â&#x20AC;&#x153;arrivedâ&#x20AC;? in the Hamptons, for your very own book signing? Is it the kind of success you imagined for yourself while you and your dad were double-dating? Arrived? What kind of anxious, ambitious New Yorker ever arrives? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a Hamptons homeowner. How can I feel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve arrived? I stay out there these days with wonderful homeowning friends. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, but come on, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrived â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all I can afford is Guesthampton! But, seriously, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fabulous to have a reading at BookHampton, such a great institution â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to be in Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Papers, which I read religiously, is swell, too. I wish my father were still alive. He would have clipped this interview and circulated it to anybody and everybody. But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing about my Dad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he always thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d arrived. He was always proud of me, no matter what I was doing. He made it easy to feel successful. I wonder how many big shots in the Hamptons, with their impressive pedigrees and homes, can claim that? 36,000 square foot MEDICAL/PROFESSIONAL BUILDING

Sag Harbor. Remm and Birnbaum both strongly agree with the performance trend this season. “Performances offer our patrons a way to connect with their favorite artists in an intimate setting, a rarity we are excited to continuously offer our guests at Tenjune, as opposed to the trend in celebrity appearances, where guests have no interaction with the talent. Performances are special one-

time-only occurrences that guests feel special to be a part of, as do we. The entire venue is united by the performer on stage, which creates an amazing energy in the room. We will continue to host intimate performances on the grounds of The Estate throughout the summer for those spending time in the Hamptons to enjoy, taking advantage of the beautiful backdrop.” Until next week — Life is short, you only live once, so party on!

The Hampton Whalers Are Here, and for Real is not something they normally do,”. While companies and celebrities promoted the team with their checkbooks, Hamptons residents stepped up to the plate by opening their homes to the players. “Skip was the first person locally to step up,” Leaver said. Skip Norsic, a Hampton resident and business owner, supplied a house for some of the coaches and players to live in throughout the summer. Tom Gleason, a Sag Harbor native, has a few players living with his family as well. The Hampton Whalers is a team that accepts players from all over the nation. Many players are not from New York and have never even seen the Hamptons. “For them to be in the Hamptons and live in a different environment, it’s lovely to see,” said Gleason. While reporters and coaches peppered

have at least five or six East End teams a year from now. Along with his faith in the Hampton’s baseball, Leaver believes in his players. Going to a Whalers’ baseball game, “people are going to see kids who, in a few years, will be in the major leagues,” he promised. Even with starry eyes set on big dreams, the Whalers cannot forget their humble beginnings. Formed by what Leaver calls “a small grass-roots effort,” the team owes much of its current position to donations and sponsors who came out of the woodwork to help. Jerry Seinfeld, J. Crew CEO Mickey Drexler and local businesses like the Hampton Jitney sent checks in generous amounts to the team as a show of support. Rawlings, a national sporting goods company, donated all the team’s equipment. At the recent practice, a Rawlings representative said that the company is known typically for funding large, popular baseball teams. In terms of sponsoring a new, unknown team like the Whalers, however, he said, “This

By Alison Caporimo In addition to opening their windows and pools to welcome the summer, this year Hamptons residents are also opening their doors to a small baseball team with big ambitions. The Hampton Whalers is a new baseball team composed of 25 Division I and II college players. With 20 home games split between Sag Harbor’s Mashashimuet Park and Southampton High School, the team will take on an eight-week schedule in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League. While the players are in the foreground, the man responsible for the team’s creation stands behind the scenes. Rusty Leaver, known for Montauk’s Deep Hollow Ranch, formed the team out of his love for the all-American sport. “The template for this team is the Cape Cod baseball league,” said Leaver. The Cape leagues have a reputation for producing major league players, and drawing huge crowds to the stands. Leaver has the same high expectations for Hampton baseball, stating that he hopes to

the field at the intimate practice this past Wednesday, another significant figure made an appearance. Pat Shortt, a major league baseball scout for the northeast region, stood on the sidelines, studying the players and observing the team in action. Shortt spoke with the team and gave advice about the challenging major league transition, adding that the players are “here to improve their skills with hopes for major league.” Coach Butch Caulfield, the man facilitating the team’s progress toward bigger and better things, also has high hopes for the Whalers. Having coached one year at SUNY Westbury and nine years at New York City College of Technology, Caulfield has the experience a new team needs, and he believes in the Whalers. “We’re a very athletic team built around defense and pitching,” he said. There is much talk surrounding this new dream team and everyone seems to have something to say, but what about the players? Nineteen-year-old Louisiana natives Patrick

Rusty Leaver and scout Pat Shortt

Holloway and Blake Wascon reflected on their recent experiences with the Hampton Whalers. “The opportunity is really great,” said Holloway. “We want to be seen by the right people.” With Shortt standing a few feet away from them, it’s safe to say that the “right” people will be seeing a lot of the Whalers. Holloway and Wascon, both members of the University of Louisiana Lafayette baseball team, are staying in Sag Harbor for the summer — an experience Halloway summed up in three words. “I love it,” he said. While residents from various parts of the community are contributing to the baseball team, the players also plan on giving back. Michael Mirras, a resident housing three players, said, “Families have kids who love baseball and hope that the players living in their homes will invigorate and encourage their kids.” So the next time you see a kid in a playground with a mean curveball, it’s the Hampton Whalers you should thank. The next Hampton Whalers’ home game will be on June 10 at Southampton High School. For more information, visit hamptonsbaseball.org.

Storm

(continued from page 27)

In the middle of this, I actually got out of the car to clear a limb that had fallen across our driveway half-way up. Bolts of lightning and claps of thunder were everywhere. One was so close my hair stood up. I returned to the car, soaked and out of breath. Our car, as it came to a halt in the relative shelter of a giant windblock, which was our house, said it was 75 degrees out. It had been 95 degrees in Water Mill two hours earlier. Thus began, for us, what it might have been like to live in our house in the early 19th century. The storm had lasted no more than a half hour, a nasty slash of a thing. It was over. “It’s going to be a stunning sunset,” I said to Chris. We took stock. We had no power. A large tree had fallen into the pool. We pulled a heavy planter up against the outside of two French doors that led out to the pool which would no longer close properly. The TV wouldn’t work. The refrigerator was off. The toilets had only enough water in the tanks for one flush. Nothing came out of the faucets. No lights were working. The air conditioning was off. The pool was still. Oddly, our cellphones would turn on, but the signal was weak and almost unusable. The regular phone was working. I guess you know the drill. We found flashlights, candles and matches. It was now 6:30 pm. Darkness would come in two hours. And we were hungry. I thought of East Hampton Point and wondered if they had power. If they did, we could eat dinner and watch the same sunset we had at home. Then we’d return home and, hopefully, the power would be back on. I called East Hampton Point, and indeed they were open, on generator power. “Could we have dinner there for two?” I asked. “We’re only allowing people with reservations. Do you have reservations?” “No.” “Well, sorry, then.” I hung up. I told Chris what had happened. “Call back and make a reservation,” she said. “Okay. But they know my voice. So you do it.” And so she did.

We returned to the house two hours later by taking a detour around where the tree with the wires was still down. But the police had now blocked off half a mile of Three Mile Harbor Road so nobody could get through on the other side of us. There still was no power anywhere. “Is this just about that tree?” I asked an officer. He nodded. “We live in there. You can see the house from here.” He waved us on. The sunset was indeed magnificent, not only where it went down in the west, but also, in the east, where the reflection of it turned some roiling cotton clouds orange and yellow. And thus, we settled in. That the road remained blocked off was an ominous sign. Obviously the lighting company had not yet come. Night came. There was not a single light anywhere around the harbor. There was nobody on the road. There was nobody at the boats in the harbor. The tide was retreating now. We lit the candles. What to do? We had our laptops, which had battery power, but we could not get online. We had candlelight, but not lantern light. It was tough to read anything. What we did find was a portable radio. And so we sat in the living room on the sofa, and I put my arm around her, and we listened to WPKN-FM out of Norwalk, Connecticut, where a disc jockey, whispering conspiratorially into a microphone, was spinning

classical music, folk music and occasional obscure songs from his personal collection. And we talked. We talked about the most common things. It was getting stuffy. So we opened the sliders and windows and then met back at the sofa. A cool breeze wafted over us. What about the toilet? “Get that big plastic fishing bucket you keep in the car,” Chris said. “Dunk it in the pool. We can use that in the toilet tank.” Lucky for us we had a swimming pool, I thought. How had the early settlers gotten along without a swimming pool? If this were 150 years ago, we’d have no need of pool water or harbor water. We’d have an outhouse. We’d have a stove that took firewood. We’d heat the house with what? Coal? No. A wood fire in a fireplace. We’d have lanterns. So maybe, in the evenings, we’d read. No radio, no TV no video games. We’d get water up out of the ground from a well. Maybe we’d have a hand pump. We’d have no hot water. If we wanted hot water, for bathing, for instance, we’d heat it up over a wood fire in the yard. We’d heat a lot of it. Everybody would take turns taking a bath. I thought of my two kids, both with their own cars. They’d been home when we got home from the luncheon. But they’d abandoned ship for higher ground and lights that work with a switch soon after we arrived. Before they left, I said this to them. “Why don’t you stay and watch TiVo? The TV doesn’t work, but we’ve saved all these shows.” They stood in silence for a moment, thinking about this. Then they were gone. One called around 10 to ask if our power was back on. We said, “Not yet.” He said, “Oh.” Chris wondered if we had drinking water. We did not. I thought maybe we had squirreled away a bottle of water from France or Fiji in the refrigerator, but realized we hadn’t. Imagine, we have oceangoing tankers filled with bottles of water that we haul from over there to over here, or the other way around. Amazing that we would do this. (continued on page 59)

Sagaponack Residents Qualify for FEMA. Ho Hum. By Alexendra Wexler Since Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc in New Orleans several years ago, not to mention the thunderstorms this past weekend which had winds at nearly hurricane levels, the reality of a massive hurricane hitting the East End has been taken more seriously. Ironically, the residents of the Village of Sagaponack have recently qualified for the Federal Emergency Management Association’s Flood Insurance program. Whether or not Sagaponack villagers will be affected by this change is another matter. The average house in Sagaponack is worth approximately five times the average house in New York State. Because their houses are so expensive, most Sagaponack residents are unlikely to take advantage of this new insurance option, says Tim O’Brien, the Director of Private Client Services at Cook, Hall, &

Hyde, Inc. in East Hampton. “The maximum FEMA coverage available to residents of Sagaponack is $250,000,” he said. “That wouldn’t be enough for most people in Sagaponack to rebuild their wine cellars.” However, O’Brien added that there is also $100,000 in coverage available for the contents of your home. When she was informed of FEMA’s recent decision to cover the homes in her area, Sagaponack resident Pamela Allardice said, “That’s not something I would probably be interested in,” as the maximum coverage limits of the FEMA insurance are much lower than the value of her house and its contents. Gil Shapiro said that he, too, was not interested in purchasing flood insurance from FEMA for his home. “My house is 1.1 miles from the ocean, and the coverage I have with [private insurance company] AIG is great

because if you live within a mile of the ocean, you pay a much larger premium than I do.” Shapiro also said that the type of coverage FEMA offers is “greatly different” from the coverage he now has with his private insurance company. O’Brien confirmed this, saying that although the FEMA flood insurance is lower in cost, it is not as broad as private flood insurance. However, he added that the situation on the East End is a bit of an anomaly. “Ninety-nine percent of Americans with flood insurance have FEMA flood insurance,” he said. As to whether or not the Village of Sagaponack expected this reaction, the Acting Village Clerk, Rhodi Winchell, said that the village made the decision to meet the guidelines for FEMA insurance simply, “Because everybody else does.”

remember to call P. C. Richard to find out if they had the part in from South Korea for our new LG

Dishwasher that had malfunctioned. It was still in warranty. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been washing dishes by hand for a week. Stop thinking that, I thought. At 11:30 I went back downstairs to use the telephone on my desk in the living room to call the Long Island Power Authority. Chris said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stop worrying, it will come on when it will come on.â&#x20AC;? I called anyway. I told a man there our address. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a truck up there right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect to have power back up there within the hour.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks,â&#x20AC;?

But we did have orange juice. And milk. That would do. The settlers filled the walls with their homes with seaweed for insulation. They got through the cold winters. Nobody had cars.

June 13-June 20, 2008 Riders: 12,811 Rider Miles: 109,433 Delays: There will be a 20-minute delay on the Southampton platform as Governor David Paterson gives a wreath of accomplishment to our esteemed subway Commissioner Bill Aspinall for an entire month of delay-free subway service. DOWN IN THE TUBE British Actor Eddie Izzard was seen juggling oranges down on the platform in Sag Harbor. He didn’t appear to be going anywhere. In Amagansett, J. K. Rowling was seen toting a copy of In the Hamptons by Dan Rattiner. She said she got it at the Amagansett BookHampton store. Former Governor Mario Cuomo was seen on the Southampton platform with his son, Andrew Cuomo. They were talking basketball. PRESIDENT OF BASINOBA RESCUED AFTER DISASTER The transfer of the 1.2 billion subway tokens that had been stored under the Hampton Bays headquarters of Hampton Subway were officially turned over to the President of the new African nation of Basinoba, Juan Carlos Sinatra Alexander, by Commissioner Bill Aspinall on Friday. The exchange occurred as the last of the fishing boats carrying the final bags of these tokens out to the official freighter anchored just offshore of Sag Harbor, with the red blue and yellow flags of that country flying off the stern. This was the last of the four, quarter-mile long freighters, and this was the final load of

Shinnecock

subway tokens taken from Hampton Bays. President Alexander, surrounded by his Finnish guards as always, presented the certified check to Commissioner Aspinall. 1.2 billion tokens for $1.2 billion. “We are pleased to now have these tokens for our official currency,” said the President. “In our country’s language, we spell Basinoba with an “H” at the front. It’s Hbasinoba. So this is perfect.” The Commissioner, beaming proudly, shook the President’s hand vigorously as he took the check. And he said, “Thank you very much.” And he said, “Godspeed.” It was a short trip. After lots of waving and smiling from the fishing boat as it went out to the freighter, and after the Sag Harbor High School marching band played its final John Philip Sousa number, the President and his guards boarded the freighter. The freighter started its engines, and, carrying nearly 200,000 tons of cargo, moved slowly forward — and then, in minutes, sank. After that, chaos reigned. Fire boats and Coast Guard boats went out to the spot and rescued the crew of the ship, including the President, all of whom had the presence of mind to run for the lifeboats as soon as they heard the ship shift. “It made a metallic jingling noise as it shifted,” said the first mate, who was also rescued. “Then it just turned on its side, and sank stern first. It went down real fast.” The only casualty in the sinking was the President’s pet monkey. And for a while, it was thought that one of the Finns was not accounted for. But it turned out he had been

in the bathroom when everything happened. He soon floated up, just fine. As the Coast Guard and fire boats were heading back to shore with everybody, Commissioner Aspinall ran to the Bank of America on Main Street and immediately cashed the check. Then he went off to Hampton Bays in his limousine. COMMISSIONER ASPINALL’S WEEKLY MESSAGE First of all, the President is fine. He is resting comfortably and is talking about returning immediately to his homeland by plane, so he can greet the three freighter loads of tokens when they arrive. He also talks about having me refund the money, or at least onequarter of the money, which I will not do. The tokens were sold fair and square. He’s got 900 million tokens on the way. And he’s got 300 million tokens we delivered to his freighter. Too bad it sank. I will, however, as a gesture of good will, offer up whatever remaining tokens we can scare up. We want each and every one of you to find whatever subway tokens you can around the house, in your shirt pockets, in your purses, ladies, wherever, and bring them to the Hampton Bays office before Friday. We will add those to the 150,000 tokens squirreled away in a Bob’s Storage Bin in Westhampton Beach, which we had intended to use until the new subway cards are delivered, which will be in two weeks. And we will ship these by plane, accompanying the President back to his native land. Now, here’s the best part. Until the new cards arrive, the subway is free.

the tribe, said that an official party line on these issues would have to come from tribal elders. She did, however, confirm that the tribe does conduct security patrols in the area. Her unofficial opinion as to why that’s necessary is that people who come onto the property or adjacent beach areas don’t show much respect, with garbage dumping being a major issue. The Shinnecocks believe this goes beyond mere bad behavior, and that at least some of it is deliberate. “It’s reprehensible and deeply offensive,” Jensen said. There are a few clear, non-negotiables. Camping or otherwise trespassing without permission on Shinnecock land, as with any other private property, is illegal. Mooring a boat offshore is allowed, but picnicking or otherwise using the beach is not. Driving along the shore is okay with the Town, but not with the Shinnecocks, and until recently, not with adjacent non-tribal property owners, either. The right of way crosses several miles of non-Shinnecock

land and residents in those areas have, in years past, complained about the Shinnecocks using the road to get to their own beach, specifically on the day of the tribe’s annual picnic. Any way you look at it, the current arrangement includes a number of rather loosey-goosey boundaries that are almost guaranteed to rub up against one another and lead to trouble. After a couple of hundred years of misunderstandings, it would be nice to see everybody finally agree on what goes and what doesn’t in the area. The Southampton trustees are working on that, but they’ve got their work cut out for them. Shultz says that the ancient and often contradictory lineage of codes and titles, along with the current state of heated emotions, make coming to a fair conclusion an extremely difficult, but not impossible job. He and the other trustees have committed themselves to doing the necessary research and then sitting down with the Shinnecock tribal leaders to try and come to an equitable agreement.

town does or not. “We predate all that,” he said. Gumbs also said that the tribe has come to a private agreement with the association of property owners on the land adjacent to Westwoods regarding use of the old beach road. According to Eric Shultz, Southampton trustee specializing in land use, because the Shinnecocks disagree so adamantly, there have been reports of tribe members telling non-tribe members that they could not use the right of way, or pull boats up onto the beach, water marks notwithstanding. Camping, obviously, is out altogether. Schultz says he’s heard that a security guard was being used to keep non-tribe members out of the area. In the aftermath of last week’s fight on the beach, State Police are looking into whether the campers were actually on Shinnecock property, or just too close for comfort. The Shinnecocks do not fall under Town law, and State Police are generally called in to investigate when there is trouble on Shinnecock land. Beverly Jensen, Communications Officer for

HAMPTON TRADITION XLI — WESTSIDE DELI By T.J. Clemente In 1978, Donald Maiori and John Gilday, two best friends from Islip, opened the Westside Deli in East Quogue. The tenor of their friendship carried over into the very character of their business, with a mantra of “Every customer counts,” and a sign in the window that reads, “Free advice.” Like all great delis, Westside serves choice sandwiches, chicken salads and hot Italian dishes, but it’s so much more than a quick stop for great food — it’s the epitome of charming, small-town America. “I watched this area go from a huge party town to a bedroom community,” Maiori said of East Quogue’s 30-year evolution. Jokingly, he added, “The Hamptons is the most wonderful place in the whole northeast — Custer’s last stand. And this deli is the last of the Mohegans.” Maiori also ran Famous Zhivagos, a Bridgehampton deli back in the early 80s, and called that decade the “Wild West” era of the Hamptons. “It was a fun time. People were looser, and everyone seemed to have more of a sense of humor.” Maiori bought the Westside Deli building in

farm landscapes and, of course, the ocean.” The same can be said for the Westside Deli, which is filled with an eclectic collection of signs, statues, posters and delicious sandwiches affectionately named after customers (like the “Johnny Ling — all meat, no eggs,” created for the one morning Maiori’s friend, John Linguiti, was in a big hurry). The Westside is a personal and down-home dining experience that draws customers back for their favorite sandwiches, cigars, cold drinks and snacks. The world is changing, the Hamptons are changing, but thanks to Maiori, the Westside Deli is staying exactly the same. Westside Deli (690 Montauk Highway, East Quogue, 631-653-6343) is open seven days a week, from 6:30 a,m. to 5:30 p.m.

reacted to protect against misuse of the huge monies collected — and that misuse included administrative costs. On the other side were the town politicians faced with the reality of real estate closings, legal matters and hidden costs of CPF purchases who did not want property tax payers financing the administration of a state legislated tax program. What seems to be in play is who will control the hundreds of millions of dollars come? The town supervisors or the state legislators? A sticky wicket is that these factions just happen to be in opposing political parties at the moment. But despite the fracas, the CPF has been a success. Many hundreds if not thousands of acres of open land and farmland have been secured by purchases. In fact no one really is disputing the success. At a meeting last week, Wilson showed

me a detailed list of around 1500 proposals for East Hampton’s CPF and provided a status report. The work restoring the Lester House (also knows as the Labrozzi property) will be completed this fall. Referring to Boy’s Harbor, Wilson said, “It’s going to happen. There were some problems because it is a joint purchase with Suffolk County, but the 28 acres will be purchased for $7.3 million.” He said that the Farmers Market “is also going to happen. The lawyers are ironing out details. There is no price problem — just lawyer things.” Efforts to chastise McGintee on perhaps his prize project, the Adelaide deMenil and Edmund Carpenter historic buildings project, have nothing to do with the CPF because they are municipal buildings. These well preserved historic buildings will ultimately be converted into East Hampton’s Town Hall, and their upkeep and administrative cost will be in the town budget. McGintee opponent Jay Schneiderman reportedly predicts the cost of the project to be twice the estimated $5.5 million the Town originally estimated, but McGintee reportedly disagrees. One wise old town resident summed it up this way, “If you like history, our culture and preserving things you love this project, if you hate McGintee, are angry about your taxes, then you

see this as a mistake.” A town employee said, “30 years from now it’s going to show great foresight, just like the plan to preserve Central Park in New York City.” Perhaps the crux of the matter for all the issues surrounding CPF spending is just basic economics. This money has been paid by homeowners who bought properties since 1999 and paid that 2% tax after the initial $250,000. After my visit to Wilson in his trailer, it becomes clear that the money is being wisely spent to preserve the community on the East End. How that concept of “community” will ultimately be defined is another matter.

1985, and while he is not under the pressure of increased rents every five years, he does see increased competition. However, his biggest asset may actually be himself. Maiori is an original, the real thing. His wife, Eileen, is an assistant principal, and the couple has two daughters. Their youngest daughter, Sammy, is a junior at the University of Delaware, and helps out at the deli during the summers. Together they have watched East Quogue grow and change. Maiori laments that to today’s crowd, East Quogue isn’t even considered the Hamptons. “It’s like the canal separates two worlds. The town closed the beach bars, made it harder to have summer rentals and turned East Quogue into a bedroom community. Now, it’s like the area’s best-kept secret, consisting of beautiful

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Sign â&#x20AC;&#x201D; But is it Legal? By David Lion Rattiner It ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy being a real estate agent. You have to negotiate huge deals with nervous participants, deal with very picky customers and fiercely compete for listings. After all that effort, all you can really do is hope that a customer will buy a home from you. In addition to the hurdles that come with representing a sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, there is the issue of dealing with local restrictions that interfere with business. Namely: real estate signs. Real estate signs that advertise a home is for sale are enormously popular for two simple reasons. First, the advertising is practically free, so there is little financial burden on the agent who posts a sign. Second, a buyer who sees the sign is calling after having already looked at the outside of the home, and is directly contacting the listing agent. Throughout the Hamptons, different areas have different requirements for signs. Put up the wrong sized sign in the wrong place, and you could have a code enforcement officer from the Town of East Hampton or the Town of Southampton knocking it down, visiting your open house and serving you up a fine. Sign restrictions range from size to location, to whether or not you are even allowed to have one at all. Nonetheless, real estate agents find ways to make their customers and

clients happy, even in the face of some pretty unusual restrictions. In East Hampton and Southampton Towns, one law says you cannot put up a sign on townowned property. Now, why would this be a problem? After all, a sign generally goes up right on the sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private property, making it unnecessary to dig one in on townowned property. The reason has to do with advertising an open house through the use of a sign. When an agent has an open house, it is important that he or she put up a sign that directs a driver to the house, at a street corner for example. But if that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Open Houseâ&#x20AC;? sign with an arrow pointing down a road is sitting on town-owned property, odds are it is illegal and a code enforcement officer might take it down and confiscate it, as well as write up a fine for the posting. (By the way, this is also true for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yard Saleâ&#x20AC;? signs and party signs.) Putting balloons on signs is also against the law â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the same is true when advertising a birthday party, although those signs often go unnoticed for a few hours by sympathetic officials. Sometimes homeowners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to put up a sign for personal reasons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they may not

want neighbors to know that the house is for sale, or they may still be living in the house and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the â&#x20AC;&#x153;feelâ&#x20AC;? of the sign when they come home. (A tactful agent will work in the best interest of sellers, advising them that putting up a sign will help them sell their home.) Private developments have their own rules on real estate signs. For example, Clearwater Beach and Barnes Beach in East Hampton carry covenant restrictions which, although private, make it illegal to post signs of any type â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including real estate signs. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an agent to do? Advertise the listing through a newspaper or the Internet, of course. In Southampton Village, there are laws restricting the size of a real estate signs, although color is not an issue. The small sign requirement is also true for North Haven â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a big sign may be confiscated and the agent issued a fine. Even with all of these rules about signs, Hamptons agents find ways to connect buyers to sellers. Because if there is one thing no law can change, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the desire to be on the East End.

Dan’s North Fork OVER

THE BARREL...

with Lenn Thompson

Corks of the Forks Father’s Day Fun for Wine-Loving Dads As I’m sure you know, this Sunday is Father’s Day, one of the most important holidays of the year—at least in the not-so-humble opinion of this 2nd-year father. Each and every year, millions of fathers get the same old gives—power tools, golf paraphernalia, and of course ugly shirts and ties. This year, instead of sticking with the tried and true, why not start a new tradition and treat the dad, granddad or husband in your life to a day on the East End, sampling delicious wines, enjoying the views and the local eats too? The local wine community is making it easy, with some great specials and events planned just for dear ole dad. I know that I’ll be taking advantage myself! At Palmer Vineyards, dads are invited to to enjoy a complimentary flight of selected wines and a special gift. I’m not sure what the gift is, but if their delicious sauvignon blanc is in the tasting flight, it’s well worth the stop. Palmer is one of the most familyfriendly vineyards on the North Fork. And on Father’s Day, The Mudcats will be performing live from 2 – 5 p.m.

Castello di Borghese, the current name of Long Island’s first-ever commercial winery—historically known as Hargrave Vineyard—is offering a free taste of olive oil imported from the family estate in Tuscany. I’ve tasted this oil, and it’s delicious. At both Duck Walk Vineyards in Watermill and Duck Walk North on the North Fork, fathers get a free glass of wine. And, at Pindar Vineyards, fathers will receive a logo glass and corkscrew while supplies last. Two vineyards are going above and beyond free wine and gifts this weekend as well. Martha Clara Vineyards, which can always be counted on for a bevy of interesting and unique events, is outdoing themselves this time with their “Eat Like a Wild Man” dinner for Father’s Day from 2 - 4 p.m. For $55 ($45 for wine club members), attendees get a six-course dinner prepared by

David and Lorraine Girard of Buoy One Restaurant that features wild game like wild-caught local striped bass, moose with rosemary and garlic, and venison with bacon and wild beach plum sauce. Each course is thoughtfully paired with an MCV wine too. If the father you’re celebrating this weekend loves his reds big and delicious, head to Roanoke Vineyards in Riverhead for their Big Red Tasting—their 10th such event. $25 gets you a flight of topnotch Long Island reds (past wines have included Wolffer Estate’s Premier Cru Merlot and Grapes of Roth Merlot), a matching flight of cured meats and cheeses and—for the first time—a cigar meant to pair with one of the wines. And if a cigar isn’t your thing, they’ll give you a discount card instead. Visit each of the winery’s websites for more details. You can see a list on liwc.com.

Dan’s North Fork In a culinary world where longevity is not the norm, Jerry Dicecco’s quaintly named restaurant, just a block east of the Aquarium, must be doing something right, because it is now fifteen years since he first opened and today it is going stronger than ever. Even more unusual in this day and age, his son Jerry Jr., has followed in his father’s footsteps, despite all his attempts to dissuade him. Jerry Jr., graduated from Johnson and Wales Culinary Institute with high grades, spent six months in Italy cooking, and then had a spell at the prestigious DB Bistro of Daniel Boulud in Manhattan before joining his father and taking over as Executive Chef, as Jerry Senior looks to spend a little more time in relaxation. You can sit indoors or on the porch and there is an enclosed deck that looks over the pool and marina of

Jerry & The Mermaid 469 East Main Street Riverhead 631-727-8489 the adjacent marina, which provides a steady stream of customers in the season. The restaurant also has a core of regular local customers who enjoy their meals here year round. The menu is seafood based, but they also make sure that non fish lovers are well cared for. Jerry Jr., has just introduced a new menu that still includes the dishes that have become very popular, but now also includes a number of new offerings.

“They have a terrific, caring wait staff and a talented chef, Tom Lopez, in the kitchen...” NY Times,

Corner of Front St. and Jamesport Ave. S. Jamesport Open Year Round • 722-2659 1143194

We left ourselves in the two Jerry’s hands and started with one of the new appetizers, a chilled ahi tuna spring roll. The roll was very interesting with the differing textures and tastes of very fresh tuna that was wrapped with some vermicelli and served with a tangy dipping sauce that complemented but did not swamp the tuna. This was a very good start and we realized only when Jerry told us that what we had enjoyed actually was a half portion. You do not go away hungry here! The classic mozzarella and tomato was everything it should be with good cheese and ripe tasty tomatoes. Next came a selection of the hot appetizers. Incidentally, when I first read the menu my thoughts were that I could really have a great meal just based on the appetizers. We loved the buffalo wings, they were crisp, nongreasy had a nice amount of meat on them and the sauce was exactly hot enough. It was easy to understand how these have become one of their signature dishes over the years and Jerry was loath to tell us all of his secrets in the ingredients - but they really were very good and I am not known as a buffalo wings enthusiast. Coconut shrimp were crispy and well cooked. Then came some delicate and very tender calamari, cooked with yellow peppers that gave the dish an unusual touch of acidity and a slight heat that made this one of the very best renditions of calamari we have ever enjoyed. Oysters Rockefeller is a classic dish that was perfectly executed. Steamers are a specialty here, when available, and we were fortunate for some had just been delivered, Jerry sources these from the North Shore because he believes they have the best taste, and we could only agree as we devoured them after immersing them in a gorgeously fragrant broth of white, wine, garlic and herbs. Moving on to the main courses, Jerry Jr. selected the pignoli-crusted grouper for us and we totally enjoyed a perfectly cooked piece of fish where the liberally applied pignoli infused a very special taste to the fish. The meat dish was much more robust. Now I was not familiar with the term ‘flat iron’ steak but now thanks to Google I know much more! The result of skilled butchering and subtle marinating was an extremely tender, very tasty piece of meat. Very often accompanying vegetables seem, in many restaurants, just to be an afterthought or a plate filler. This was not the case here, because the mélange of julienne peppers and excellent green beans plus a baked potato fully matched the quality of the meat. The iconic dessert here is a large ice cream crepe with homemade hot fudge and whipped cream, which we just about had enough room left to taste and to understand its popularity. Finally, a very palate cleansing kiwi and strawberry sorbet with a cup of intense deep espresso and a drop of Jerry Jr.’s home made limo cello brought a very satisfying tasting experience to a close. The limo cello is not on the drinks menu, but if you see Jerry Jr. and you enjoy limo cello, ask to try his version. There is a full lunch menu and also a children’s menu. Both Jerry’s are strong believers in healthy eating and they are members of Mather Hospital’s new Heart Healthy program. Appetizers run from $6.50 to $10.50: Main courses that include vegetable and a salad are from $14.95 to $25.95. This is a very friendly, informal restaurant that opens seven days a week from 11.30 a.m. till last orders and stays open until 4 a.m for Karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights. As Jerry continues to hand over the reins to his son, based on our experience the restaurant will be in very sure hands hopefully for the next fifteen years and more. –Roy Bradbrook

Dan’s North Fork

Feeling The Pinch North Fork Farmers Continue To Farm Away Even With Incredibly High Gas Prices By Karma Hope I went to one of my favorite restaurants the other night and was shocked to find my favorite item had been removed from the menu. When we asked the manager about it, he said that the whey and flour used in the recipe had increased in price so much that it was no longer financially feasible to keep it on the menu. They had replaced it with a cheaper alternative, one I did not like nearly as well. I left feeling disappointed and alarmed. Our favorite Mexican food restaurant now requires its patrons to pay for the basket of corn chips that were previously complimentary. It is a phenomenon we are seeing across the country. Food costs more. According to the United States Department of Labor, the average consumer experienced a 1.5% increase on food costs– reflecting increases in all six major grocery store food groups. Escalating food prices are impacting most households in America significantly these days. The average household spends 4% of their household income on gasoline while turning out 13% for food. We can drive a little less, carpool a little more, and take fewer vacations, but we all have to eat! The expanding cost of food is hitting Americans hard. Those feeling the pinch the most, of course, are the farmers. There is a reason food prices are on the rise, and it is impacting the farming industry particularly

hard. From the small items like the wax coated boxes used to deliver produce, to the extra surcharges trucking companies are enlisting to cover the additional fuel expenses, farmers are feeling the squeeze. Several years ago, fertilizer could be purchased at around $250 a ton. Today, a ton of fertilizer comes in at a whopping $900. Even organic fertilizer prices have gone through the roof. That doesn’t even begin to take into account the way fuel prices have affected farmers at home. Filling up the tractor tank now costs more than ever. Then, there is the fuel needed to run the pumps for irrigation. Diesel fuel, which a year ago

1143192

was less than gasoline, is now over $5 a gallon in many places. Farmers have little choice- charge more for produce or go out of business. Farmers across the North Fork are hoping that customers will understand. If food costs more at the grocery store, then it will also cost more at the farmer’s markets. Buying locally may not be cheaper, but there are still the benefits of fresher produce, which puts less strain on our economy due to lack of shipping. Buying food locally is healthier than most grocery store options because food spends less time in a truck, or on a shelf, losing nutrients. Plus, it always tastes better locally, right? However, there could be a possible silver lining for local farmers. Shipping costs are becoming more expensive each month as gasoline prices continue to rise. Many grocery chains are now considering buying produce locally to avoid exorbitant shipping fees. The added bonus is that products are coming in straight from the fields! It would appear to be a win-win situation for everyone. Unfortunately, this trend may be coming too late for those farmers that have already been dealing with the gas prices. Support your local farmer’s market and you will be sustaining not just the farmers, but your local economy as well. Drive less, buy locally, and just maybe we can all ride out this economic storm together.

DAN'S PAPERS, June 13, 2008 Page 73 www.danshamptons.com

Adding a Tutor to Summer Activities For New York City’s stressed out and overscheduled students, summer signals the beginning of a well-deserved break. With final exams a distant memory and the next round of standardized tests safely scheduled months away, the middle of the summer is hardly the time to be thinking about the Pythagorean Theorem...or is it? Summer in our neck of the woods has traditionally meant tennis, riding, sailing lessons, summer camp and, of course, endless hours at the beach. But increasingly, it also means a continuation of the academic, SSAT and SAT coaching that supplement kids’ education during the school year. Fierce competition for the few spots at top high schools and colleges is prompting more students to make room amidst their summer activities for the type of instruction that will ensure them the highest grades and test scores in the fall. While this may sound like a drag, many parents and students are discovering that summer fun and summer tutoring can coexist peacefully. In previous summers, tutoring might have required that a student give up the Hamptons vacation in order to attend a class in the city every Saturday morning. However, some savvy parents are now figuring out how to balance their child’s need for relaxation with the realities of the competitive admissions process. These parents have discovered a small cohort of tutoring companies that have made their way from the city to the East End to provide the same one-on-one service at

home. Now, tutoring sessions are scheduled between morning sailing lessons and afternoon riding, or just during the three weeks between summer camp and the trip to Aspen. And since the tutors come to the students’ summer homes, students are able to juggle the schedule without wasting time in traffic on 27 East. Students say they find spending a few hours a week working with a tutor not nearly as stressful as cramming tutoring sessions in during the busy school year. One student, who was initially opposed to the idea, but went along with it when he found out that he didn’t have to give up his surfing lessons, now says, “My tutor’s actually a cool guy. He knows that I’m on vacation, and I’m learning how to write better essays with no pressure.” Parents are similarly relieved to be able to get the tutoring

their kids need without feeling like they’re robbing them of their summer. Along with the increase in summer tutoring on the East End, there’s an emerging shift in focus away from test preparation towards academic skills development. Driven, in part, by reports that even perfect test scores don’t guarantee admission to top schools without excellent grades and a slate of extracurricular activities, parents are hiring tutors to work on material for difficult classes, like chemistry or math. One parent, describing her daughter’s math class this past year as a disaster because of a rocky start, said she is now having a tutor pre-teach the beginning of next year’s math class to ensure that her daughter is ready on the first day of school. Some parents are concerned that allowing tutoring to bleed into the summer could raise the competitive bar for students, resulting in all students needing to get on board just to keep up during the school year. While it remains to be seen whether this fear will become a reality, it’s clear in the short term that those students who are bringing their tutors out to the Hamptons are angling to gain an advantage in the fall. And most parents say their children have been able to seamlessly integrate studying into their otherwise activity-packed summers without too many headaches or sacrifices.

Toy Story

Photo by S. Galardi

In the Margery Williams’ classic children’s story The Velveteen Rabbit, (or “How Toys Become Real”) a plush toy learns from a skin horse that being real isn’t about what you’re made of, it is the result of being loved. The rabbit is a boy’s favored toy, and feels very special. Then there’s a turn for the worse. The boy contracts scarlet fever, and the rabbit’s fate is to be burned. He cries a tear, which brings on the Nursery Magic Fairy who explains to the rabbit that he was only real to the boy. One of the many messages is that something (or someone) becomes “animate” (or “animated”) when it experiences love, attention and caring. All I can say is that our son’s toys are in big trouble. The Greg Wiggle doll hasn’t sung “Big Red Car” in about a year, and I fear he’s lost his ability for speech. The Peter Pan action figure might as well be missing in action – thinking happy thoughts isn’t getting him off the ground, let alone out of the many toy bins in the playroom. And the Ratatouille rodent? He’s destined for a life as a doorstop. There’s a saying that a child’s favorite toy is the new one. So where does that leave the 10,000 other ones? Preferably, on the shelves of the toy stores. But that doesn’t happen for many reasons beyond the child’s insistence. We shower children with more, more, more out of love, guilt, and the deter-

mination to give them a better everything than we had. Beyond parental generosity, our son has two sets of grandparents who each give him several gifts on every birthday and gift-giving holiday. Birthdays are the toy orgies, with presents flowing in from family and friends. My anxiety level rises with every new package, as I think, “Where are we going to put this stuff? He already has a dedicated playroom ……” to “How is he ever going to learn to appreciate the value of things if … blah, blah, blah.” Yet there’s still the pull to get him new

things – an urge to wow him. There’s an art song, based on the translated poem by the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore called “Colored Toys.” A few lines are: “When I bring to you colored toys, my child, I understand why there is such as play of color on clouds, on water – and why flowers are painted in tints. When I bring sweet things to your greedy hands, I know why there is honey in the cup of a flower, and why fruits are secretly filled with sweet juice.” I learned the song when I was 19 and had no idea what it meant – not until many years later when we had our son. A child experiences new things differently than adults. They experience it for the first time, and that is vibrant. Maybe it’s not really the toy the child wants, but the thrilling feeling that comes with being loved and treated “special.” Everyone knows that through our children, we experience life in a fresh way. We’ve all heard exhausted parents say “It’s for the kids,” when they came back from an all day trip to a baseball game, a water park, a sold-out circus in a hot tent. These efforts, like the gifts we give to children, make them giddy. We probably don’t care about the event or the toy. But we do care about having experiences with our children that are loving, joyful, fun – and real.

Sport Fashions and Must-Haves for Kids By Alison M. Caporimo For kids in the Hamptons, summertime means one thing – sports! From baseball and tennis, to running and camp, kids need time outdoors, with the pastimes they love. While choosing the right sport or camp at the beginning of the summer is a very important decision, the sportswear accompanying the activity shouldn’t be overlooked. Whether your child is running around camp or passing a soccer ball, the right sneaker can make all the difference in the world. Tara Farrell, the manager of Gubbins Sporting Goods in Southampton, highlighted the most popular sneakers for 2008. “New Balance is the way to go,” she said. New Balance sneakers carry narrow and wide width shoes to ensure that each shoe fits perfectly. The Adidas Barricade and all models of Merrells sneakers have also been selling out, Farrell says. Adidas Barricade sneakers are commonly worn in tennis, but their appearance attracts kids from every kind of sport. “Children love their sleek look,” Farrell said. Merrells tend to run a little wider and offer great support. They are well ventilated, which is perfect for summer footwear. Merrells also have no laces, which is great for kids on the go. They carry a wide variety of models within their line as well, including a sneaker sandal with shock absorbing cushions allowing kids to run from the field to the beach without changing footwear. While the sneaker is a very important aspect of footwear, the sneaker’s sidekick – the sock – is commonly overlooked. The sock directly touches the skin and its fabric and cushioning affects the foot.

Under Armour socks are very popular among athletic children. The socks have knit-in arch support designed to reduce foot fatigue and increase blood circulation. “They are also made out of a material that reduces blisters,” said Farrell. Along with their socks, Under Armour carries a shirt that is perfect for summer. Under Armour shirts have a second skin feel. They are abrasion free and made from a technical fabric that allows for rapid moisture transfer away from the skin. With sweat receding from the skin, the moisture quickly evaporates, leaving your child cool, comfortable and free from rub burns. The next popular item can be seen on almost every foot this summer, child and adult alike. Crocs have taken the slip-on shoe market by storm. Margaret Donohoe, owner of Sunrise to Sunset Surf & Sport in Southampton, says they fly off the shelves. Made with anti-microbial and odor resistant materials, Crocs are great for camp showers and pool time. They are slip resistant, light-weight and buoyant, which means that they won’t stray far from kicking feet in the ocean. While most sportswear is geared towards boys, Roxy, Quicksilver’s sister brand, is a fun and bright clothing line perfect for young girls. They carry light, breathable shorts available in different lengths to ensure your child is comfortable in

whatever sport she participates. Roxy sportswear “is covered in glitter and hearts,” said Donohoe. “Girls love it.” Sports require schedules so it’s important for your child to be on time. The Quicksilver Windy model watch is water resistant and shock proof, making it great for the pool. And no bright summer day is complete without the perfect sunglasses. Oakley sunglasses have lenses with high definition optics, which means your child will have sharper vision on the field, court and beach. The lenses are 100% UV filtering and come in various shades that improve depth perception. Oakley sunglasses are also impact resistant, so they won’t break if your child slides into home plate or accidentally sits on them in the dugout. Last, but definitely not the least important summer sports item, is sun block. Blue Lizard is a new Australian brand is been very popular in Donohoe’s store. Blue Lizard uses an advanced formula to protect against UV rays. It’s also waterproof and comes in various formulas – sensitive, sport and face – to fit your skin’s needs. Sports are very important, and the gear your child wears plays a large role in his or her performance. The right pair of sneakers can make that winning goal more memorable, and that soft jersey may just come to be his or her lucky shirt.

N E W K I D S O N T H E B LOCK W Belmont Eye Center Benton Plaza 365 County Road 39A â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Suite 2 Southampton 631-283-5220 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; belmonteyecenter.com Sandra Belmont, M.D., internationally recognized as a leading figure in the advancement of laser vision correction, as well as founding director of the Cornell Laser Vision Center and the Belmont Eye Center in NYC, has recently opened her newest location in Southampton. The Belmont Eye Center is dedicated to setting the highest standards in the diagnosis and treatment of vision problems involving the cornea in order to protect and restore eyesight. Dr. Belmont is a Clinical Associate Professor of Ophthalmology for the Weill Medical College of Cornell University â&#x20AC;&#x201C; New York Presbyterian Hospital. She is also the Founding Director of the Laser Vision Center at Weill Cornell. She leads a Corneal Surgery Fellowship program, and during the academic year, she has a fellow with her to train and observe. To schedule your complementary evaluation and learn about the latest advancements, call the Southampton office. Asparagus Beach P.O. Box 2281, Amagansett 631- 324-5656 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; asparagusbeach.com Originally planned to launch last summer, Asparagus Beach was put on hold when founder Lisa Levitin was diagnosed with stage 3A breast cancer. Now in remission and empowered by this experience, Lisa is channeling her energies into reinvigorating the brand. Asparagus Beach, an offbeat clothing and gift line, takes its name from a famed Hamptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the same one where Marilyn Monroe frolicked. The story behind the brandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coinage, as such, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a secret. You can Google it. But todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asparagus

Beach represents a pleasant, retro nostalgia (for those who may remember what Asparagus Beach really wasâ&#x20AC;Ś) that connects directly to the Hamptons. Picking up fans from coast-to-coast, comedian Richard Lewis says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am allergic to asparagus but not to Asparagus Beach T-Shirts. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear enough of them. They are the coolest!â&#x20AC;? The collection features casual beachwear of luxurious and super soft cotton tees for men and women that define the Hamptons lifestyle and pays homage to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich lore. Made of 100-percent long staple Peruvian cotton, the collectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic symbol, an asparagus spear, is woven into pieces throughout Levitinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line, adding a playful element that shares a connection with the famed Hamptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beach. Each season, special edition collector tees will be introduced featuring custom artwork from prominent East End talents. The debut collection features artwork by Dan Rizzi. His signed special edition tee is available on the web only. Her fall fashion line debuts with a sweatshirt, sweatshirt dress, classic fit T-shirt and an oversized crochet beach bag. Colors include black, white, and retro vintage green. Clothing prices range from $38 to $100. Novelty items begin at $3. The line can also be found throughout the Hamptons at the following locations: Main Beach Surf & Sport in Wainscott, Khahnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sports and Hamptons Card and Gift in East Hampton, Amagansett Hardware, and Share With in Montauk. Bay Bliss 300c Bay Avenue, Greenport 631-477-6490 Bay Bliss has just opened in Greenportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Historic Stirling Square. Experience bliss as your eyes feast upon the Feng Shui design of this unique new gift shop that offers something for everyone, and fits within every budget. Among the one-of-a-kind

This special new North Fork shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concept surrounds L.C. Tiffanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy to capture the colors of nature in glass, allowing art and beauty to enhance our lives. The Glass Menagerie carries glass art pieces that include hand-blown wishing balls, oil lamps, fused glass and the much sought after stained glass. Also look for mirrors and wine glasses, unique lighting and other lovely items that reflect nature in glass. There is an adorable collection in their real â&#x20AC;&#x153;glass menagerieâ&#x20AC;? that includes animal beads and figurines and offers a nice collection of handcrafted beaded jewelry that is designed by Donna Cloud. This shop has something for everyone and every occasion at very affordable prices.

Well, the hot days of summer have arrived. The heat brought a thunderstorm on Sunday afternoon, about which my daughter Michele said, “It was something, I have never seen anything like it before,” and we have been living in Sag Harbor for 25 years. Where was I when it blew through? In Kmart, and we missed the entire storm. John and I heard the thunder and lightning, the lights went out and the registers went down, but shoppers stayed put and continued shopping, waited for the registers to boot up, checked out, and went on their merry way. Everything calmed in 30 minutes and home we went. Let’s shop!
