The Lady An Odd Adventure in the Home of a Bonacker By Dan Rattiner Sag Harbor passed a law regulating chickens and roosters in their village the other day. Roosters are banned entirely because at dawn they so proudly welcome the day with their crowing. As for chickens, you can have them only if you get a permit, and then there is a limit to how many you can have, and as for their eggs, not how many they can lay—you can’t regulate that—but whether you can sell them. You can’t sell them. That would be running a business out of your home. You can only give them away. Or eat them yourself. It seemed to me, reading about this, that this was just too bad; it was just one more thing you used to be able to do you can’t do anymore. I think what happened in Sag Harbor is Dan Rattiner’s second memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS TOO: Further Encounters with Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities, is available in hardcover wherever books are sold. The first memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS, published by Random House, is available in paperback. A third memoir, STILL IN THE HAMPTONS, will be pubDan's Banner million:Layout 1 5/6/11 8:52 AM Page 1 lished next 10 spring.

relevant to what happened at my house in East Hampton a few days later. Around 6 p.m., Stuart Vorpahl knocked on my front door. He hadn’t called ahead. He just walked over from his house down the way, without any advance notice. It was something people do around here among friends, at least in the Springs community where I live. “Just saw your car in the driveway,” he said when I let him in. “My wife’s away. Seemed like you were by yourself too.” Stuart is a Bonacker, a descendant of some of the original English settlers in this community. He fishes, he clams, he builds and repairs boats, and he and his wife raise ducks and chickens in the yard between his house and garage on the little dirt road where he lives about a quarter mile away. Many Bonackers live in small houses on that dead-end road. There’s maybe 40 houses in all. I offered him a drink, brought out some salted nuts, and we sat in the living room for a while and talked about this and that. Topics included fishing, town regulations—Vorpahl had been a Trustee for a number of terms— boat repair and the crowds downtown. It’s been a pretty wild summer. I told him about the new

Sag Harbor chicken regulations. We sat quietly for a while. There are no regulations like that in Springs or East Hampton. Yet. Then he told me a story. “My wife and I were home the other evening when we heard a commotion in the yard with the chickens. We ran out. There were these two big dogs—Dalmatians—running around after them, scaring the hell out of them. Mary got a broom, I ran into the garage to get a shovel or something. And at that moment, this big car pulls up, the door opens and this man and woman shout out the dogs’ names. They stopped immediately, ran to the car and got in. The car then backed out and drove away. “We were pretty startled by this behavior. There was no sorry about this. Nothing. As they backed out, I got the license plate number. “After we settled down the chickens, we talked about this. I was pretty riled up about it and said I think we ought to call the police— not to have them arrested or anything, but just to get them to come back and say something to us. There’d been a lot of ruffled feathers out there. Even the geese.” (continued on page 24)

Crash, Bang, Oops Norway, Magic’s Pub, Lobsters, Groupers & Noyac By Dan Rattiner Everybody wants to get to the eastern end of Long Island. Last Friday at 1 a.m., a man drove his car off the Cross Sound Ferry from New London, Connecticut, and crashed it into the big wooden sign there that says WELCOME TO NEW YORK, ANDREW CUOMO, GOVERNOR. He’d arrived. * * * In Westhampton Beach late on a Saturday night, three young men stole the sign off the roof of Magic’s Pub. The next day, websites that follow the news reported the theft from the police blotter, but also noted that a surveillance camera had caught the entire

incident, so arrests would soon follow. The following night, the sign was back where it had been before. Although the identity of the robbers was known, the owner of Magic’s declined to press charges. * * * At the Round Swamp Farm market on Three Mile Harbor Road, a woman came over to the owner of the place, Carolyn Snyder, to ask about how to prepare the live lobsters she had bought at Stuart’s Seafood Market a half hour earlier. “I’m not going to cook them until tomorrow afternoon,” she asked, “but my question is: between now and then do I have to feed them?”

The correct answer, by the way, is no. * * * Officialdom in the Hamptons has always had an uneasy relationship with the “groupers,” i.e., all those people who can’t afford to stay in fancy hotels and bed and breakfasts, but do pay for shares in big weekend houses. In theory, this is illegal. But if it’s discreet, people can get away with it. Usually, it just depends on the neighbors and what they have to say. Last Wednesday, police invaded a sixbedroom mansion on Fithian Lane in East Hampton, not so much because it had about 24 people living in it, but because of what the (continued on page 26)

MAYOR MARK EPLEY’S GRAND IDEA

By Dan Rattiner The Mayor of the Village of Southampton, Mark Epley, is, in my opinion, a shining example of what a mayor should be. In a small community—the Village population is just 1,500 people within the Town of Southampton’s 40,000—it’s possible to do many things that might take forever to do in a town, because with so few people it is possible to get lots done if everybody rows in the same direction. The hallmark of Epley is that, unlike many

mayors who come in and just maintain the status quo during their terms, he takes advantage of this. His ideas are many. Some are better than others. Last week he thought of a gem. It’s sort of a win-win-win. Epley has noticed the following situations. One is that the little brick building on Main Street that is leased to the Chamber of Commerce is nice but really very small and often gets overcrowded. Another is that for 10 years or more there has been a boarded-

up ramshackle building on Windmill Lane, adjacent to Rotations Bike Shop, which is an eyesore. Third is that the new Master Plan for the Village calls for making Windmill Lane— with its view of Lake Agawam beyond—a centerpiece main street of the town for its official business. And fourth is that whenever there is an opportunity to save a historic building—Southampton is the first English

“Anybody hurt?” “No. Still. So we did call them. Anyway, about 10 minutes later, there’s a car pulled up the driveway and a knock at the door. We figure it’s the police. But when we open the door, it’s this woman, about 35 I’d guess, and, at first, I think she must be the woman from the dogs. But no, she says this really strange thing. She is wondering if we might need anybody to do cleaning, because she does house cleaning. She has this strange foreign accent. Somewhere in Europe, I think. She comes right in. “I tell her no, we don’t need any house cleaning, and she looks around at things as if she’s going to tell us that this or that needs cleaning, and then another car pulls up and we can see the flashing lights, and she looks startled and says could we do something for her, which is to just say that she’s part of the family. A cousin or something. She walks over and pats our big dog. He wags his tail. “I look at Mary and before we can decide what to do, it’s the police knocking on the door, and she says, please do this, there’d be no harm, and then she just says I’ll be in the bedroom and she just walks in there. Mary and I look at each other again, and I go let the police in, and she heads into the bedroom. My wife follows her in. Later she tells me she asked the woman where she was from. Romania, it turns out.

SALTY HOME

Furnishings With Function & Flair

“Meanwhile, I’m talking to two of these big officers. They take out pads and write things down. I tell them what I want them to do, which is contact these people and ask them why they did what they did and all, and I give them the license plate number. “At that point, the woman comes out of the bedroom and sits in the club chair and begins petting the dog. My wife follows, but doesn’t say anything. Then the woman thanks the officers for coming and says everything is just fine with her and me and my wife, her cousins. She says a nice thing to the dog. I forget the name she called him. “After a few more pleasantries, the officers tip their hats and leave, and they go out to their car and drive away. You can see the flashing lights fade away. And with that, the woman smiles and says thank you very much, thanks for everything and she seems much relieved and so then she leaves. “Mary and I talk about this. We can’t quite figure out what to make of this. It’s so bizarre. “Later that evening, I go out to the yard to check on the chickens and by gosh her car is still parked there. I look around. It’s just the car, a Jeep. She’s nowhere to be found. I come back in and report this information and my wife says well let’s just forget about all this for now, and maybe in the morning the car will be gone. And so that is what we do.

“Come morning, about six, I go back out there to feed the chickens and by gosh the car’s gone. And so that was the end of it.” “So what do you think?” I asked. “Well we don’t really know. What do you think?” This was a very interesting topic of conversation. But what we finally decided was this. The woman is driving down Three Mile Harbor Road when, suddenly, she sees a police car with its lights flashing in her rear-view mirror and thinks they are after her. She gets scared. Why, we have no idea. Maybe she’s done something. So she pulls up the dirt road, and into Stuart’s driveway and get’s inside with this crazy housekeeping story. She figures she’s safe. Then the cops come and she runs into the bedroom, but when she hears what it’s all about, she comes out and pretends she’s part of the family. Why does she leave the Jeep there? Who knows. Maybe it’s a stolen car or something. Or maybe it has a broken taillight, who knows? But anyway, when she thinks the coast is clear, she comes back for it. I loved this story. Stuart left after about an hour. My wife was in the city so he was right about my being alone, and I sure did enjoy his company. So as it happened, he left me with this remarkable story, which I figured is worth sharing with you on the occasion of something like this never happening in Sag Harbor anymore. Our loss, in my opinion.

Escape to New York A Weekend Like No Other on the Shinnecock Reservation

By Dan Rattiner Here’s what happened on the Pow-Wow Grounds of the Shinnecock Indian Reservation in Southampton last weekend. On Thursday, the crews descended on the place, and with the approval of the tribe set up a wide variety of booths, fair tents and stages that had nothing to do with Indian traditions. Instead, these structures celebrated the hippie era or, perhaps more precisely, the Alice in Wonderland era. The structures set up included a boxing ring, a public speaking arena, a bar in the woods, a dance tent, a giant wooden climbing thing, an area for makeup and massage, a stage with a wrecked taxicab on it that looked like something from E.T., a panda pit, a tent filled with rose petals, a picnic area, a dance field, a field just for spreading out blankets and listening to the music, something called Brooklyn Aerodrome, something called

the Kendalle Fiasco, an acoustic stage, a series of merchants’ tents where beginning the next day you could buy beads, jellies, popovers, eggrolls, clothes and oils, a series of art galleries, an information booth, a security and first aid center, a bar for tropical drinks, showers and all sorts of strange lighting for after sunset, including lights in the woods in the grass which lit up the underside of the trees so when you strolled through it you might think you were on another planet. That about one quarter of the grounds were set up for the Shinnecocks to sell their tribal wares—drums, spears, clothes, jewelry, artifacts, etc.—seemed perfectly in keeping with what was about to take place. Friday came. The crowds began to arrive after the gates opened at 11 a.m.—walking through a mist of artificial fog wafting across the entry gate and then soap bubble machines adding to

the delightful confusion a little farther in—and the smiles began to appear on everyone’s faces. By 2 in the afternoon the number of people there probably passed 500—not filling the place much since the grounds are about the size of the baseball field at Yankee Stadium—but then it was a start. There was no particular way to dress for all of this, of course, but people seemed to be leaning into one sort of theme or another. There were people in hippie garb, others in cowboy garb (cowboys and Indians?), others in shorts and t-shirts; there were women dressed to kill, men in white pants and sweaters. By 5 p.m., there were 1,000 people. By sunset about 4,000. But still it did not appear crowded. It never appeared crowded. But boy did it rock, as the place turned into a great celebration of whatever the hell this was. On the great stage with the busted up taxicab, Chairlift played (continued on page 62)

TAX A MISTAKE, ANGLERS GET REFUNDS! By Dan Rattiner The battle over the state imposed saltwater fishing licenses here on eastern Long Island is at an end. Last Friday, in a sensational announcement, Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered the licenses not only rescinded, but that money be paid back to all those who had purchased them! Over $2 million dollars are involved. It will go to charter boat captains, sportfishermen, surfcasters and anyone else who, to keep out of the controversy or to keep from getting a fine, bought one here on Long Island. It will go to the 9,000 fishermen who bought the “lifetime” fishing licenses for $300. All the rest too, which include 200 charter boat

captains and about 23,000 regular fishermen. The law was put into effect in 2009 over the objections of our State Senator Kenneth LaValle and our State Assemblyman Fred Thiele. You could get the licenses at State Police offices, at Post Offices, at State Offices and at marinas and fishing tackle shops. The fishing tackle shops and marinas went on strike and refused to do this. Assemblyman Thiele wrote to the governor demanding the law be repealed. (There’s no saltwater upstate.) Most people refused to get one. And the State Ordinance Enforcement officer said he didn’t have the manpower to give tickets out to those without them. Also, almost immediately, lawsuits against the state were

filed by the Town Trustees of East Hampton and Southampton and five other towns. There was the Dongan Patent, issued in 1686, that gives the townspeople the right to have the use of our ocean waters, bay bottoms, lakes, ponds, harbors and rivers for their personal use, which includes any recreational purpose they want, especially fishing, which brings food to the table, without interference by others. Trustees were elected (and still are) to defend these rights. It is an outrageous breach of this patent. Soon, a judge hearing the case, agreed with them. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation appealed. (continued on page 34)

Then, on Friday, August 19, for another $175 you could have a three-course dinner at the house prepared by chef Michael White of the restaurant Marea in Manhattan. After dinner, for the same $175, you’d get free access to the Stoli Late Night Lounge in the house and guest access to The Surf Lodge nightspot in Montauk. The next night, August 20, you could join a “yogathon” class led by hip-hop impresario and yogi Russell Simmons. Or, if you were not into yoga, the other thing you could do that night was get a “riding the waves” experience with Billy Joel’s ex-wife Katie Lee reading from her new surfing novel Groundswell, which would be followed by a picnic from Mexicue, followed by a screening of the surfing movie Blue Crush. Another $175. Then on August 21, at brunch time, The Surf Lodge in Montauk would come to you. Surf Lodge “Top Chef” finalist Sam Talbot is going to whip up brunch for you and the other guests. Other entertainments you can enjoy at this house, sponsored by luxury website “Gilt City,” are lectures by Fox TV’s Rosanna Scotto and

Food Network’s Sandra Lee. The people who have rented this house for the summer (it’s a corporation) may or may not understand what they had gotten themselves into. The house sits on a residential street. Neighbors had, upon seeing the ads for the events, complained. Now the cops arrived and sent everybody back to New York. But wait—we haven’t done anything wrong. We’ll be making donations to the Food Pantry. And we’ve got the permits—or at least we’ve applied for them, so it’s all done and approved. Oh yes, they had. Lots of them. There was a whole stack of permit applications on the desk of Larry Cantwell, the Village Manager, about a week earlier. He’d looked at the first one. It was about the event where the chef of Nobu prepares the sushi. Money raised would be going to the Food Pantry. It was at a house on Fithian Lane. He’d get to them later. Didn’t seem to be a problem. Oh yes it was. The newspapers with the ads in them came out the next day. * * * Overheard talking on a cellphone on the bench in front of Restoration Hardware on Main Street, East Hampton, a very determined woman, articulating each word slowly: “This is the end of this conversation. If we were married, these would be grounds for divorce.” * * * A man named Myron Levine, who 19 years ago built a tall, ugly 205-foot communications tower on a ridge in Noyac, has applied to the town board of Southampton to take it down

and replace it with a classier looking shorter one. He will do this at his own expense. The existing tower has three legs, all sorts of things sticking out of it and lots of guide wires into stakes into the ground on either side. The new one, which will replace the one he’s offering to tear down, will stand on another hill about 500 yards away, a single tall steel pole, like a flagpole, that will also rise way up, but just to 195 feet. It will look nicer. You could put an American flag on it. Levine not only built the original tower as a private money making enterprise—it houses equipment for wireless companies AT&T and Verizon Wireless—but he also has a house on the land he owns near it. Early on, he liked looking up at his money making venture, but recently he has come to agree with the neighbors that it is really very ugly. The town is delighted, and will, I imagine, sign the permits to make this happen just as fast as they can draw them up. * * * Police dicovered that Andrew Taiami, 47, had a crudely forged beach sticker on the side window of his Range Rover parked at Two Mile Hollow Beach in East Hampton. Whether he did it himself or had someone else do it is not known, but it wasn’t good enough to pass muster when it came to the cops. Andrew Taiami is in all sorts of trouble for having done this. (He saved the $325 annual parking sticker fee.) Doing this is a felony. Forging or creating fraudulent public (continued on page 32)

The Rock Weekend MTK at the Airport is Cancelled By David Lion Rattiner The Music To Know Festival, which a lot of music lovers were really looking forward to in the Hamptons, had some sad news for concert goers last week when they announced on their website that they were canceling the event. When you connect to the MTK website, you get the following message: “It is with a heavy, heavy heart that we regret to inform you that the inaugural MTK: Music To Know Festival in East Hampton will not take place. Despite our unique vision and arranging a world-class line-up, ticket sales were not adequate to allow the event to continue. We wanted to let everyone know now before engaging more deeply. “Along with our ticket holders, vendors, sponsors, business associates, colleagues and friends in the community, we too are filled with deep disappointment. We pledge to endure during this difficult time with the same integrity and professionalism displayed throughout the creation of this event.” The big headliner for the event was Vampire Weekend, and there were numerous other acts who are all relatively clean cut in the world of popular music today. It seemed like a great thing: you have the Hamptons, you have live music and you have tourists looking for something fun to do. By all reports, the Escape to New York music festival at the Shinnecock Reservation went well, so why wouldn’t Music To Know do well? Why did they have to cancel? Well I can tell you that from this reporter’s perspective, at the very start of the

announcement of the organizers’ intentions for this event, there was an incredible amount of resistance to it from “Not In My Backyard” types who live in East Hampton. And it was a really sad thing to see. Pretty much the entire point of this festival was designed to be a gift to the Town of East Hampton’s economy. More people means more people buying stuff in the local stores during the precious summer months that keep our locals alive. But the old boys and girls who want to turn East Hampton into a gated community simply didn’t want to have a racket, and they did everything they could to get it shut down, and in a way they very much accomplished just that. And it’s not a good thing for East Hampton. It’s very much a bad thing they did that. In any other town in America, with the state of the economy the way it is, to have a serious group of people get together with the intention of putting on a concert would not only have been welcomed and supported, but it would have been praised because everybody understands what’s at stake. Everybody understands how important it is to get people into the town, to get them shopping and to get them smiling and having fun. But in East Hampton, because we are so incredibly spoiled with wealth these days, we have the luxury to complain about everything. And the reason we have that luxury is because nobody really remembers what the town was like before the rich discovered the Hamptons, and nobody wants to admit that before that time life out

here was not as nice as it is today, no matter how you look at it. It sort of reminds me of the people who long for the days of World War II, back when people were real people and not business people. As if somehow, a world war was a wonderful time to be alive. I just don’t get it. Anyway, the backlash from the few but very loud locals who didn’t want the festival, without question, put a bad taste in the mouth of the organizers of this event, and I would suspect that when they saw that the ticket sales were low, what went through their heads was, “Why bother, the town doesn’t even want this anyway, so who needs this aggravation.” I can pretty much guarantee you that if it wasn’t for this lack of support from the town the festival still would have taken place, even though the organizers were taking a loss (and without a doubt, they took a loss with all the upfront money that they had to put in to get the festival off the ground). They would have put it on, maybe it wouldn’t have been a huge success financially, but people would have showed up, and it would have been a fun time and it would have drawn positive attention to East Hampton and attracted other artists to come perform here in the future. The organizers would have felt obligated to put the event on because they knew that the townspeople cared about the event and cared about starting something that could grow and continue for years to come.

settlement in the State of New York—you should take it. Epley recently learned, apparently, that the ramshackle building on Windmill Lane is actually a relatively new structure, built around 1920, which is attached to and sort of wraps part way around a beautiful 250-yearold home in the back. Why not, thought Epley, ask the owners of this property, who have let it fall into ruin and would have to pay to tear it down, to instead donate it to the town, have the town rip off the front part of the building—the old structure inside is in good condition—and reveal the historic home? After doing that, the town could relocate the building to Main Street to be the

new home of the Chamber of Commerce. Wow! At this juncture, the Chamber of Commerce says they just heard about it. (The Chamber is a private organization that rents the brick structure from the Village.) The owners of the Windmill Lane property, the Demetriades family, say they have yet to be contacted. Robert and Michele Murphy Strada, who tried to buy the building to save the historic structure in the back six years ago, say this would be a delightful solution. And the Mayor says he can find the funding, get volunteers and donations, and make all this happen. He would need to make it handicapped accessible. It would also have to have public bathrooms, something that could be put into

You put it on your dashboard with the time marking on it facing up. By the way, if you forget to get the ticket, you have to go around again, because one of the car tires has to be on the metal plate in the road that activates the machine. Last week, a wealthy woman in a Bentley came into the lot, parked, and then was approached by a traffic policeman who advised her she did not have the little ticket that gets spit out on her dashboard.

a small adjacent structure that Southampton High School kids could build in the fall as a school project. There is ample precedent for putting public services into historic buildings. In East Hampton the Village offices are now in a small historic wood-shingled building on Main Street and Huntting Lane. The Ladies Village Improvement Society moved years ago from a tiny brick structure in a parking lot to the Gardiner Estate across the street from Village Hall. The old home on Windmill Lane was built approximately in the year 1760, in Colonial times, right on the corner in the center of downtown Southampton where the former Saks Fifth Avenue building is now on Main Street and North Main. It was originally built as an inn for tired travelers by Henry Rhodes, a prominent businessman. Rhodes and his family also lived in it. In the early 1920s, the town fathers decided, as the downtown became more hustle-bustle, to build a Town Hall on that corner—it would later become Saks—and so they moved the Rhodes House by horse and wagon to its present site at 22 Windmill Lane. It was no longer a private home, however. It became at first a hotel, then a multi-family residence and later, when the “new” front was put on, a speakeasy and brothel. There were wild times in Southampton in the 1920s. But what happens in Southampton stays in Southampton. My hat is off to Mayor Epley. His ideas don’t always come to fruition. But that he puts them out there and then fights for them is what a good Mayor is supposed to do in my opinion. The Master Plan calls for a new Village Hall to be built on Windmill Lane. If it is, that street, backing up onto the main parking lot, will include the fire department, a church, the Cultural Center and, right adjacent, the Library, the Police Department building and the Southampton Press building. This idea is hard not to support.

Fishing

Crash

(continued from page 25)

The striking down of this law and the return of the monies is a great victory not only for fishermen, but for the general public, who sometimes fight for their rights yet feel it is all in vain. Here is an example of something that got done. “It is not the State’s duty to put a tax on fishing,” the Governor said in repealing the law and ordering the issuance of the refunds. “Fishing is not the same as bridge tunnel tolls.” In its place, fishermen will be required to register in a newly set up National Saltwater Angler Registry, which will help the DEC monitor the fisheries. But it will be free. One man, Stuart Vorpahl, who has been protesting the use of State fishing licenses for years, will not benefit from Governor Cuomo’s decision. Vorpahl, an East Hampton Bonacker, has been carrying aboard his fishing boat a copy of the Patent, tacked up in his wheelhouse next to all the gauges. He’d received many summonses from the Coast Guard and others for failure to have the proper paperwork even after pointing out the patent, and he’s many times gone to court, his actions defended by the East Hampton Town Trustees. He retired from fishing two years ago. And he sold his boat— largely because of the State’s harassment. Now he works repairing boats in their slips and in his garage. He will get nothing. This decision also should be an encouragement to all those residents of Southampton who are fighting to end all parking restrictions at the end of a quiet and remote road called Noyac Bay Drive, where it leads down to a beach facing an inlet.

The members of two private clubs, the Northampton Beach Club and the Northampton Yacht Club, where if you join one you can join the other, are unhappy with the fact that this public road slices between the two and allows members of the great unwashed to park their cars at the end of it to access the publicly owned beach. Using a deception—they declared that there have been many robberies at the Yacht Club, when in fact none have been reported in three years—they asked the town to make this road a “no parking” road. Let the people come down, have a look, but that’s all. No parking. The Town bought into this and did so a year ago. But there has been no end to the townspeople demanding that this restriction be removed since. There have been t-shirts made, demonstrations held. It is not the town’s job to let a few seize a town asset from the rest of the taxpayers. If they thought they could, this could be a disastrous precedent. Recently, it’s been on the town agenda to do just that, but they have not brought it to a vote. One of the Town Councilmen, Chris Nuzzi, has fundraisers for his re-election campaigns at this club. Three weeks ago when I wrote about this, I said that if the Town and Trustees can’t or won’t defend the accesses to the beaches, then Governor Cuomo should be brought into this picture to make it right. As this still remains unresolved, I continue to think this should take place. The state is where the old Patent is from. There are many wrongs to be righted. And if it’s wrong in a big way and the public keeps at it, things change.

up tall, and shouted out to whoever could hear, “could somebody get me one of those parking tickets?” Nobody answered. * * * Anton and Christine Hagen, who live on Ferry Road (Route 114) in North Haven, put a flag of Norway on their front gate the day a right wing zealot killed 83 people at a children’s camp on a Norwegian island and in an office building in Oslo. The flag was to indicate solidarity with that country, where the Hagens had once lived for four years. The next day, they found that someone had set a match to the flag and about half of it had burned up. Anton called the police to report the vandalism. He subsequently told reporters, “I have no idea who did this, but I think what it could point to is an individual who doesn’t understand that that’s a Norwegian flag and just sees another flag and has hostility toward anything foreign.” The flag does, in some ways, resemble the Nazi flag flown by the German Navy during World War II. The Norwegians had their flag. The Nazis liked the look of it so they made something like it for the Kriegsmarine. * * * Overheard in Waldbaum’s on a busy Saturday afternoon, spoken by a well-dressed woman nodding toward what appeared to be local people loading up their carts: “Couldn’t they have done their shopping during the week?”

By Tamara Matthews-Stephenson Surfboards, lifeguard stands, kayaking, horses, fishing, children walking on the beachâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; these are scenes we take in on a regular basis around the Hamptons. Even before I wrote for Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Papers I enjoyed the art that graces their weekly covers because it captures these moments from an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective. These scenes articulate the authentic feeling of the culture and fun out here on the East End, while celebrating the local artists in a unique fashion.Â Over the years Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has showcased quite a collection of original artwork, so it comes as no surprise that some of the beautiful covers of Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Papers are compiled annually for viewing. I am excited to stop by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best of the Bestâ&#x20AC;? Cover Art Show & Cocktail Party, which will take place on Saturday, August 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Seasons of Southampton Restaurant and Caterers at 15 Prospect Street in Southampton.

2 Escape 2 New York, Here’s What Happened To lend the recent Escape to New York festival held on the Shinnecock Reservation full coverage, Dan’s Papers sent both of our music writers—Dr. Dan Koontz and Bo Dermont.

Escape To New York: A 41-Year-Old’s View By Dr. Daniel Koontz There were some powerful performances on the mainstage of the Escape to New York festival—Patti Smith had a top-notch band and used her rough-hewn voice to galvanize Friday night’s modest crowd, while on Saturday Richard Butler led the veteran Psychedelic Furs through a twilight set with remarkable energy and the confidence born of over 30 years of fronting the same band. But, for a music festival, Escape to New York was not terribly concerned with music. Sure, bands were playing almost continuously, and sometimes they were pretty good, but the emphasis was on the audience. People came to watch themselves. (This has probably always been true—they say that at Woodstock you couldn’t actually hear the music.) Of course, some of the audience were dressed pretty

outrageously, or barely dressed at all. Jaded cynic that I am, I figured at least some of them were getting paid to traipse around in skimpy clothes—to keep the boys happy and perhaps awaken the latent exhibitionism of the young women who actually paid to get in. As keenly aware of this phenomenon as I was, I didn’t see anybody actually get naked, so the resemblance to Woodstock only went so far. Oddly enough for a music festival in 2011, the music at Escape to New York was—how to put

4649

this—very white. Granted, I didn’t see every act, but I didn’t see any non-white faces on the stage. Headliners aside, the dominant aesthetic was toward a punk revival style almost completely lacking in soul or funk influence. There were no “dance” beats to be heard. Now, there’s nothing WRONG with this, but it was curious that when the between-act music (the canned music they play while setting up for the next band) turned to James Brown or Michael Jackson, streams of young people moved toward the stage and began to get down in a way they hadn’t for the live bands. That’s how I saw it anyway. Escape To New York: A 16-Year-Old’s View By Bo Dermont My friends and I have never been happier than right now—at Escape to New York, the music festival that was held between August 5 and 7 on the Shinnecock Reservation ground. Among the great musical acts and the yummy food, we walked and walked around the ground just taking in the vibe of the festival itself. What with the strangely dressed people and the people hurling hula-hoops at dangerously high speeds we were enveloped in this air of having fun. The whole point of this festival was supposed to be an idea of The Perfect Party. I don’t know if that’s true, because honestly some of the people at an average music festival are pretty scary, but there was no stop to the confusion and general fun-loving nature of all the participants. Now to my highlights. Certainly I loved seeing the band that I had interviewed, the Postelles, in action early on the first day. I do have to say though, nothing really compares to the truly professional headliners that finished the first two nights of the festival. Patti Smith was phenomenal. She knows how to please the crowd; though almost every person there would have been happy just to hear the songs. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes weren’t quite as easy to listen to, but they were 10 times more fun. Talk about a crowd pleaser, Edward made sure to jump down and say hi to the front row during every song. Though each food vendor would have been great on their own, one truly stood out. New Orleans-style Cheeky Sandwiches from New York were the best food I ate over those three days. Though I didn’t glamp, it was the best music experience I’ve had out here. The last day was missed by this concertgoer, and everyone else who wanted to go. Due to rain, flooding and other “Act of God” conditions, Of Montreal and every third-day performers’ set never performed. A sad day for this reporter, but that just means I have to beg my parents for a ride next time they’re around. And that isn’t a big problem for me….

Tim Bishop Talks About Debt Ceiling Vote By T.J. Clemente The drum-beating drama of the debt ceiling crisis is in the rearview mirror, but the consequences of it are in front of all Americans. So I asked New York’s 1st District Congressman Tim Bishop about the thought process behind the four votes he made that led to the eventual law that ended the crisis hours before the U.S. Treasury was set to default on its obligations. He then told of possible painful results to the district that will come due to the cuts and what he will do to help create jobs in a future Republican Sponsored Bill that will pass the house and senate. After voting NO on the Republicans’ Cut, Cap and Balance Bill and the John Boehner Bill, along came a third bill that originated in the Senate that Bishop referred to as the “so-called Harry Reid-Mitch McConnell Bill.” Bishop explained it would have cut $2.8 billion in a painful but more reasonable approach. Bishop voted YES in the House after it passed the Senate, but his yes vote was in the minority as that bill crashed and burned in defeat to House Republicans. The final successful YES vote was for the Biden-McConnell-Reid-Pelosi-Boehner compromise that passed both houses with bipartisan support. Bishop was among 95 Democrats who voted for the compromise in the House but there were 95 that didn’t. So why did he vote for it, I asked? His reply, “Because it avoided the disastrous cuts to Social Security and Medicare the Republican sponsored bills wanted to make. We all knew

to have a default was unthinkable, but with the Republicans ruling out revenue increases (tax increases of any kind), cutting trillions will now lay in the hand of a Super Commission or Super Committee... and the details so far are yet to be determined.” So I asked him what he predicted for the district from the cuts. He said, “First of all student loans will get hit in some form, in the district specifically the Brookhaven Lab will have funding cuts, and the Army Corp

of Engineers budget will see noticeable cuts, and that will hurt us on the East End. Make no mistake about it; the super committee will aim to make some cuts in the social safety net, like food stamps and extended unemployment benefit aid to states. The first trillion dollars in cuts will be $350 billion in defense cuts and then $650 billion in domestic savings.” So looking for something positive I asked Bishop what’s next, and he said, “Jobs, I am hoping the Surface Transportation Act will be a highway bill that will create new construction jobs on line for the East End.” He said we can’t have any more situations like the Federal Aviation Agency where thousands of good, hardworking people became political footballs when the two parties fought over the funding based on philosophy. “All workers must be respected. The medium income in the country has gone down, corporate profits are at a record high. I am not against corporations but I am for rebuilding a strong, vibrant middle class. Too much has been aimed at them and it has hurt them.” He also said that politics must end business’s “insensitivity to the human factors, because policy does affect human beings’ lives.” Finally he stressed that the Republican Party’s way of running the House of Representatives nearly caused a government shutdown, a near collapse of the economy via the debt ceiling battle, and did in fact shut down the F.A.A. that hurt the workers. He concluded by saying, “I will keep on battling for the workers and hope to create jobs by supporting job-creating legislation.”

Who’s Here

Photo by MagicalPhotos.com / Mitchell Zachs

By Judy Spencer Klinghoffer Alan Lieberman is barefoot. Wearing jeans and a polo shirt, he is padding around his Water Mill home, a man with boundless energy and an interest in everything around him. It’s a contemporary home of his own design, with an open floor plan that evokes South Beach ease and Hamptons chic simultaneously, but there are touches that are all Lieberman. Clouds of pale orchids in white pots on the coffee table are easily visible from the dining area, where a high chair stands ready for a visiting grandchild. Lieberman and his wife Diane have three, and they are expecting a fourth in the fall. The Water Mill house is the summer home for the Liebermans; their primary home is in Miami, where Lieberman is the owner of The South Beach Group, an independent boutique hotel company that has helped shape Miami’s rebirth as a vibrant, sexy destination that blends a sultry beach vibe, Latin heat and L.A. cool. Not too bad for the son of a Philadelphia Food Fair grocery store clerk, who said something to Lieberman that was very inspiring: “The little guy can’t make it.” Lieberman took his dad’s words to heart and did exactly the opposite, striking out on his own. After graduating from Temple University with a degree in pre-law/business, Lieberman decided that there were three ways to make money, either to “be born with it, start a business and wait 30 years, or [go into] real estate.” Lieberman chose option #3 and began his career right in his own native stomping grounds, Philly. “You can’t get a hit unless you get in the game,” Lieberman recalls when speaking of his first foray into real estate, which was during a tough economic climate. “Oil prices were high, so people were walking away from their mortgages.” With a sharp eye on neighborhoods going through the process of gentrification, Lieberman began buying apartments, with some 2,000 still in his name today, many of them managed by longtime employees. “We’ve had people work for us for 40 years.” From about 1980 on, the Liebermans began spending time in Florida. “We always loved Miami,” Diane says. “We were going down every other weekend.” As the recession of the ‘80s hit cities like Philly, Lieberman began to look at Miami as more than just a perch for snowbirds. “I started buying stuff down there as an excuse to spend more time there.” They both remember the prevailing wisdom concerning their Miami properties. “People said we were out of our minds. The buildings were dilapidated.” But Lieberman knew exactly what he was going to do. One of his first South Beach purchases was

their reality show. Of the fist-pumping Jersey gang, Lieberman remarks that the rooms were re-dressed for the show and returned to normal when Snooki and the gang decamped. The Liebermans are also the founders of the Alan & Diane Lieberman Children’s Cultural Art Series. For the past 14 years they have created educational programs for hundreds of children from pre-K through high school, exposing them to art, music and ballet. “There are shows geared for kids between five and ten-years-old. For some, it’s their first experience in music.” They are also involved with MOCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art, for which Diane has hosted and sponsored many events. MOCA has been undergoing an expansion that will culminate in an anniversary bash celebrating the museum’s 15th year, an event the Liebermans will chair. Another project that they somehow find time to support is the New World Symphony, helmed by conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, creating fellowships and opportunities for young musicians. Clearly, the Liebermans love Miami, but they are just as passionate about their summers in the Hamptons. “We sent our kids to N.Y.U. because if they went anywhere else I wouldn’t visit them,” Lieberman laughs. Their Hamptons home became the Miami East outpost for the entire family. “People said go to Aspen, but it’s limited. We go to the Sag Harbor Cinema and the Bay Street Theatre all the time.” They’ve managed to find all the restaurants locals cherish as their own. Lieberman somehow finds time to play tennis, while Diane is enthusiastic about “just starting kayaking and paddleboarding.” Both Liebermans enjoy another Hamptons pastime—polo. They have their own team both here and in Florida, but Diane quickly adds, “I’m not on the team, I’m a novice!” Despite the fact that Lieberman enjoys beach life just as much in both locations, there is one area where his loyalty remains undivided— sports. “When we lived in Philly, we had season tickets for the 76ers,” but when it comes to sports, it’s Miami all the way. “We are loyal Miami fans, it doesn’t matter what it is.” “I sold Chris Bosh his home,” says Diane, who has her own real estate business, S.B.I., South Beach Investment Realty. “We had three of the best players in the world,” she sighs of the recent fate of the Miami Heat, “we should have won the finals.” Sports aside, Lieberman feels very much at home on the East End. “The Hamptons are a good fit for us. This is where we’re supposed to be.”

Alan Lieberman Hotelier

Clearly, the Liebermans love Miami, but they are just as passionate about the Hamptons. the Shelley Hotel, which Lieberman gutted and restored. There may have been “no creativity” in Lieberman’s Philadelphia real estate holdings, but in South Beach Lieberman had a personal hand in renovating and decorating scores of old hotels so successfully that his efforts have won accolades from the Miami Beach Preservation League, just as his work in Philadelphia has won awards from the Apartment Association of Greater Philadelphia. With “over a thousand hotel rooms on the beach,” Lieberman offers his guests not only a nice place to shower off the sand and slither into a salsa dress for an evening out, but a number of extra amenities to entice beachbound travelers—free airport pick-up, free cocktail hour, and a party-friendly atmosphere that has attracted celebs like Heidi Klum and Paris Hilton, and the cast of “Jersey Shore,” who were there to tape a segment of

The explanation for how all these employees got to be born on the same day (in different years) and then become Hampton Subway employees is that three years ago, we had a personnel manager named Norman Honish who was a little odd, but otherwise okay or so we thought, and he did all the interviewing and hiring here and what happened was he just felt it would be economical, or perhaps he just thought it would be interesting if everybody he hired for the Subway system were just people who had the same birthday as he did. (Liked the date? Fewer company birthday cake expenses?) ‘ After it was found that he was doing this, he was of course summarily fired, and since then we’ve had this ongoing problem, solved by a big cake in the cafeteria of course just as he might have predicted, but which we expect will slowly fade away as people either leave the company, get fired or die off. Meanwhile, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you happy birthday to all of you happy birthday to you! NEW ESCALATORS IN SOUTHAMPTON Our commissioner Mr. Aspinall has often expressed the opinion that the escalators down to our platforms are too slow—they were built and installed in 1933—and this causes both worry to our customers when they see their train coming in down there and after that personal reckless behavior to catch the train— and it would be best to try to get newer, faster escalators to speed things up. And so, after a long search, our buying department has come up with a new escalator we have bought, which we will try out beginning next week as a test in our Southampton station to see how the customers like it. It’s made in China by the Wei Chin Otis Elevator Company and it is 33% faster, and it has grips on the handrails and when you get to the bottom, there is a little form you can fill out, if you want, which will be a big help for us to decide whether to get more, and a bin alongside where you can slip them in the slot. If all goes well, the new escalators will be installed on all our platforms. If not, we can always re-install the old one at Southampton, since we are keeping the one taken out in a storage room—the old ones last forever. Thank you. DELAY REGRET We regret a 12-minute delay last Saturday in East Hampton when five people with bicycles tried to board the new “bicycle friendly” cars at the same time on that platform and all got stuck and mixed up. The Jaws of Life tool that we have at the ready on the platform wall next to the fire extinguisher had to be used to untangle it all. SUBWAY Subway, the restaurant chain, which has the franchise to sell their products in their food concessions on all the platforms, is introducing a new two-foot long Hamptons Subway salami and pimento cheese hero. It is the same as a regular two-foot long salami and pimento cheese hero, except that those frisky Subway chefs have found a way to attach little square “subway windows” icings to the sides of the long hero rolls by using peanut butter guns. There is a $2 premium for these special heroes. ASPINALL’S COMMISSIONER MESSAGE This Thursday is our “two for one swipe” promotion.

TWENTY SOMETHING by David Lion Rattiner

Well, I’m about to buy my third chocolate bar as I watch the market drop 600 points before my very eyes. But a lot of us knew that a bit of a crash was on its way as we run out of government stimulus to prop everything up, and as it becomes more and more common knowledge that the U.S. is in a debt spiral.

BEST BEST 2009 OF THE

Sea salt chocolate, by the way, is absolutely amazing. So what the hell is happening? Well, most of us that live in the Hamptons have the ability to gauge how the stock market is doing by how well we are treated by the New York City tourists that come out. For example, if you are a waiter in the Hamptons you know that the stock market is doing well when you screw up an order and the guy at the table says, “Don’t worry about it, just send out another filet and I’ll spot you for the mistake. Here’s a 50 for your trouble.” And you know that the stock market is doing bad if you are a real estate agent in

the Hamptons and your customer says this to you after you’ve show them your 50th listing: “This is nice, but do you have anything that is a steal? We are looking for a home that will basically be given to us.” Yep, it’s been ugly out there the last couple of days. So the stock market has wiped out the gains it made for the year in a matter of hours, so what? No big deal, right, RIGHT?!?!?! Well, it’s definitely bad out there, pretty much the only thing that is doing well is gold, so if you got some jewelry or you are a gold investor, good for you. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: until we figure out that we can’t have a consumer-only economy, we are in big trouble. I’ve been worried about this since college when I studied economics and watched as we outsourced American jobs to other countries. Manufacturing, producing, building things is what an economy is, you can’t just take that away from a nation’s economy and expect everything to work itself out on borrowed money. Eventually, the nations that you outsource your businesses to figure out how to buy goods themselves. Remember when Henry Ford built automobiles and then paid his workers enough money to buy those very automobiles? Remember that in history class?! Where are the economies now? They are quickly being sent out of our country and into other countries and then we are simply borrowing money to cover the difference. IT’S CRAZY!!!! I digress. I need to think about something else. I’d like to segue right now into a very, very good movie that I just saw in the theater last night, Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I really thought that this movie was going to be terrible because I’ve never been a big fan of C.G.I. integrated into movies to the point where it is basically the whole movie. But I will say, this movie really delivers and I highly, highly recommend that you watch it. The regular readers of this column will know that I know movies and always make sure to let them know about them. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is not just good, it is awesome. I bring movies that I see up to the awesome level based on one factor, and that factor is whether or not the audience clapped at the end of the movie. The audience at the Southampton movie theater last Sunday night clapped when they watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes and therefore, it was awesome. When I left the theater, I wanted to climb a tree.

For me, there’s the price you have to pay and it’s dishonest to either overcharge or give a bargain or something because people will not be clear anymore what the fair price is after awhile.

Emma Roberts is Doing Great Things

It was oceanfront hand holding in Malibu that made Scream star Emma Roberts and “Glee’s” Chord Overstreet an official item. Now, young Hollywood’s latest “it” couple hit the Hamptons for a romantic getaway. Roberts recently co-hosted alongside Kelly Ripa at the 14th Annual Super Saturday Shopping Event that raised more than $3.5 million to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Roberts said her decision to host the event was simple, “I thought it sounded like a fun event for such a good cause. As a woman I thought it’s important to support other women that are going through this kind of stuff.” Roberts and Overstreet were inseparable, yet the duo managed to break apart briefly when Roberts walked the red carpet solo. The brunette donned an ivory-hued crocheted maxi dress, and took her co-host role seriously. Roberts shared, “I feel that if you could give back in any way you should, especially if its something as simple as showing up somewhere, hanging out with your friends and going shopping.” When it comes to fashion, Roberts admits she is a purse fanatic, “I love anything Prada.” I asked, “Any favorite handbag designs for the fall?” Roberts replied, “That’s tough. But, Chloe bags are the best!” I suggested to Roberts that she would be the perfect model for an upcoming Chloe handbag campaign. Roberts laughed and modestly replied, “That would be great.” Chloe wouldn’t be the first to approach the actress to represent their brand, Roberts was the fresh-faced model for Neutrogena facial wash commercials. Emma, whose father is actor Eric Roberts and aunt is Julia Roberts, practically grew up in front of the camera. She recalls being with her Aunt Julia on set at 6 years old. Her first significant film role at age 9 was opposite Johnny Depp in the film Blow. Roberts played Kristina Jung, Depp’s daughter. She later went on to star in Nancy Drew and Hotel for Dogs. Now, at 20, Roberts is gradually moving away from her squeaky-clean image and following similar career paths of her role models Anne Hathaway and Gwyneth Paltrow. Roberts recently portrayed a drug-addicted lesbian in the film, 4.3.2.1 and she has several films

in production including Adult World opposite Shiloh Fernandez. Despite the fact that her public image is still in-flux and her brand new relationship is making entertainment news headlines, Roberts remains focused on the things she can control, “It is definitely challenging to be in the public eye at such a young age but, its kinda what comes with the territory and, its cool that with that you can also do great things.” This past Saturday, the marvelously talented singer and songwriter Rufus Wainwright took a night off from his world tour and joined Princess Yasmin Aga Khan and Somers Farkas at Anne Hearst and Jay McInerney’s home in Water Mill for a cocktail kickoff to the upcoming 2011 Alzheimer’s Association Rita Hayworth Gala. The evening’s main attraction was one of the world’s most expensive beds by

Savoir, which was on display on the lawn at the party prior to it being auctioned off at the upcoming gala. Wainwright is back on the road this weekend performing live in Michigan and Chicago, and Montreal in October. Yet fans are gearing up for Wainwright’s most critically acclaimed project—the premiere in the spring of 2012 of Prima Donna, an opera composed by Wainwright. “Romantic, soaring melodies & visually exhilarating staging,” one critic said of previews.

CAPTAIN MICROCHIP

by Steven A. Ludsin

M Battle of the Bandwidth: Roku vs. Apple TV By Matthew Apfel Content is everywhere. Between tablets, smart phones, laptops and game systems, you can access almost any show or any film at any time. Except on the LIRR, which has no Wi-Fi. This week’s column is about how to stream those movies and TV shows onto your good oldfashioned TV set—without a computer. Let’s save the debate about Netflix, Vudu, Hulu and Amazon for another day. Before you can even access these channels, you need to purchase a device to link web-based programming to your TV. While there are many options out there, the Roku box and Apple TV are the most popular converters on the market. Here’s how they stack up: Price Apple TV costs $99. Simple pricing—just like all Apple products. Roku pricing is slightly more complex. The economy model lists for $59 but only streams in standard definition. There’s a basic HD version for $79, which is a solid option. But to access all features, the $99 Roku XS is the way to go. Verdict: Tossup—both products are similarly

priced and offer terrific value. Installation Apple TV and Roku are relatively simple to install. Neither requires a computer; they effectively are the computers. You simply connect the box to your TV and existing Internet service, then follow instructions to activate and add channels. There’s really only one crucial question to consider: does your TV have an HDMI input jack? If it does, then both Apple TV and Roku are compatible. If it doesn’t, then you should forget about Apple TV, which only has an HDMI output, because Steve Jobs likes to dictate cutting-edge industry standards. It’s the same reason why Apple laptops no longer have DVD players. The good news is, virtually all TVs built after 2009 have HDMI inputs, but it’s crucial to check the TV first. Verdict: Advantage Roku—versatility is a virtue. Viewing Experience Both systems have simple, elegant remote controls for browsing content channels. Apple has a few advantages though. First, it uses iTunes as its browser, which makes the system instantly familiar to everyone. Second, you can use your iPhone or iPad as a remote; the system automatically “pairs” it with your handheld in seconds. There are several decent Roku remote apps for iPhone. One good option is called “DVP Remote” and costs $2.99. Doesn’t compare to iTunes, however. Verdict: Apple TV—as always, you can’t beat iTunes. Available Content This is where the battle gets interesting. Roku is like Switzerland: they take no sides in

the content wars and provide channels with all major premium services. You also get dozens of channels that no one has ever heard of. Apple is kind of like North Korea: they don’t play very well with the other kids in the sandbox, which is even more frustrating because they happen to have the coolest toys and gizmos. Apple only wants you to access content through iTunes, and as a result you’ll only find Netflix on your Apple TV. All other competitors are blocked. So how does Apple TV make up for this lack of premium channels? By letting you stream your entire iTunes library onto your TV. This includes photos, home movies and more. It’s a fantastic feature if you have kids or grandkids and want to break out the baby videos. Roku has a USB jack to let you stream home movies from a hard drive, but the interface doesn’t come close to iTunes. The Winner: Tossup. Bottom Line It all depends on what you want to watch. If you are more interested in streaming movies and TV shows, then Roku is the choice because of its larger content menu. If you want to stream your own movies and photos, then The Captain recommends Apple TV—just make sure your TV has an HDMI input before buying! New Feature: Hamptons Tweeter of the Week @AlecBaldwin. Known for his hit movies, his award-winning role on “30 Rock,” and of course his frequent Hamptons sightings, Alec Baldwin is also an active—and funny—tweeter. Rumor has it he tweets most of his own stuff, which is always a plus. If you don’t already follow him, now is the time to begin.

Sharing the Best Ideas in Medicine with You

OUR EXPERT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS

As a leading academic medical center, Stony Brook University Medical Center believes in sharing knowledge not only with the next generation of doctors but also with our community.

tony Brook Children’s: Making Excellent Pediatric Care Available to Long Islanders

Whether you are a full-time resident or enjoy Long Island only during the summer months, you will be happy to know that there is a children’s hospital in Suffolk County that provides the most advanced pediatric care in the region. Stony Brook Long Island Children’s Hospital was launched in 2010, building on decades of pediatric excellence established at Stony Brook University Medical Center. Stony Brook Children’s supports the foundation of a premier academic medical center: clinical excellence, education and research. Here, Dr. Margaret McGovern, the physician-in-chief of Stony Brook Children’s, talks about why children’s hospitals are different and what having one means to the community.

What do people need to know about Stony Brook Children’s? First and foremost that it offers high-level care and comprehensive children’s medicine right here on Long Island. This means that there is no need to go into the city or even leave Suffolk County for treatment. In cases of emergency, when

every second is critical, this is especially key. But proximity is important in many other ways as well. Having advanced treatment close to home (whether on a yearround or seasonal basis) is more comfortable and less disruptive for the child and the family. Stony Brook Children’s provides comprehensive care for childhood illnesses and has the full complement of physician expertise, equipment, technology and support staff available 24/7 in case complications arise or if a consultation with a specialist is needed. When dealing with children, having a safety net like this means that the child gets the right treatment at the right time in the right place. Frequently, community hospitals need to transfer their patients to us if a child needs higher level care. Coming to Stony Brook Children’s first ensures the timeliest and most appropriate treatment. As a children’s hospital, we are designed to meet the physical, emotional and developmental needs of children from birth through adolescence. Children are not “small adults.” They require medical care and services specifically designed to meet their unique needs. Stony Brook Children’s has

designed everything—the care, the medication dosage, the size of the equipment and gowns, the language used, the treatment philosophy—around these unique needs. We provide care with carefully honed expertise and appropriate support.

What does Stony Brook Children’s mean to the Long Island community? Stony Brook Children’s has more than 100 physicians practicing in 30 pediatric specialties, so we are equipped to handle the full range of childhood medical issues— from fevers to complex surgeries. As a regional referral center, community physicians and hospitals rely on us to help them care for their patients who require high-level care. Our dedicated Level I Pediatric Emergency Department, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit allow us to provide expert care for children with the most severe illnesses and injuries. As a Level I Trauma Center with a transport system supported by both ambulance and helicopter transport, we have the infrastructure to expedite the treatment of complex injuries. We truly serve

Margaret M. McGovern, MD, PhD Professor and Chair of Pediatrics Physician-in-Chief Stony Brook Long Island Children’s Hospital

as a resource for all of Suffolk County, including visitors and part-time residents. If your child should become ill or require emergency care, we are equipped to help.

CLASSIC CARS

RABBI MARC SCHNEIER FOUNDING RABBI

by Bob Gelber

RABBI AVRAHAM BRONSTEIN ASSISTANT RABBI NETANEL HERSHTIK CANTOR

Making the Ordinary ,_[YHVYKPUHY` Years ago, before the advent of television, when automakers wanted to sell cars, most of their advertising dollars went into magazines and newspapers. Remember those? Print media was truly king, and some of the advertisingÂ was truly creative. Several famous lines of advertising copy that come to mind are from the memorable Packard ad that read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask The Man Who Owns Oneâ&#x20AC;? andÂ one for a Rolls-Royce ad,Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Sixty Miles Per Hour, All You Can Hear Is The Sound Of The Clock.â&#x20AC;? Legend has it that after that ad came out, Rolls-Royce engineers silenced the ticking clock. Today, of course, television rules the universe of automotive advertising, and there are more automotive television commercials on the air than reality shows and crimesolving programs combined. Some of these commercials are really annoying. Volkswagen is currently running a truly angry ad for its slow-selling Tiguan SUV. Please note that I find the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tiguanâ&#x20AC;? just about the silliest name ever for a car. Sort of sounds like a medical problem, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a Tiguan caught up in my urinary tract.â&#x20AC;?) Anyway, Volkswagen isÂ blasting the airways with a commercial that shows a young boy at a party holding a baseball bat and hitting a piĂąata-shaped carÂ that representsÂ a Tiguan SUV. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just smashing the piĂąata but is asÂ angry as Uma Thurman in full Kill Bill mode because he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break the Tiguan piĂąata open.Â The concept of the commercial being that the Tiguan is so strong it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be broken. The commercial ends with an adult trying to smash the Tiguan piĂąata with a bat. Another mean-spirited ad that Volkswagen is currently running is for the new diesel motorcar, the Jetta TDI. It shows an attractive father and his teenage son taking a road trip. The son, as nice as could be, asks dad â&#x20AC;&#x153;if he could drive?â&#x20AC;? The father replies okay, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as soon as we stop for fuel.â&#x20AC;? The rest of the commercial shows the car driving and driving, into the night, passing gas stations. Of course the poor son never gets to drive because the Jetta diesel supposedly gets such good fuel mileage that it goes forever without stopping. Well, I expected the son to also pull a full â&#x20AC;&#x153;Uma Thurmanâ&#x20AC;? on this guy. Everyone knows how teenagers with newly minted driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses love to drive and this dadÂ was really unjustly cruel to this poor kid. Does Volkswagen need anger management? Cadillac is currently running a commercial for its CTS Coupe that has the car poised in front of what must be hundreds of archers, bows and arrows at the ready, on what looks like the Bonneville Salt Flats. As the archers all fire their arrows in the air together, the CTS takes off at a high speed and deliciously slices through the arrows as they land around the car, narrowly missing it.

local politics by T.J. Clemente

Local Politics: EH Leaves

Just two years back the then-East Hampton Supervisor and the Democrat-controlled Town Board passed a public beach pass fee ordinance for town residents. Local Republican Board candidates Theresa K. Quigley and Dominic Stanzione, along with Supervisor candidate Bill Wilkinson, all joined a chorus of anger over the beach pass fees and swore there would be no beach pass fees for town residents if they won. The groundswell against the beach fees was so loud and vibrant that the Town Board actually rescinded the fees before the election, perhaps in attempt to prevent a landslide victory of Republican candidates that eventually happened anyway. Now, no sane person who knew the issues of that election cycle would ever say that the contention over beach fees cost the Democrats control of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;bad management did, though beach fees hit a chord for residents, and people attended board meetings in feverish pitched opposition. At that time, the departingvia-resignation Supervisor McGintee said to me in his officeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just days before he was forced outâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where will they get the $300,000-plus to

replace what the fees will bring in?â&#x20AC;? His answer seems to have come this year. The Town Board did away with town leaf collection and instead told residents of the town to pay for their own leaf pick-ups. In the world of the bizarre the Democrats running for East Hampton Town Board are now using this issue in hopes of galvanizing some sort of momentum to sway the next town election this November. The strange thing is that more town households used the leaf pick-up than beach passes, so guess what? The net for the town surpasses the $300,000 beach fees could have fetched, saving the town around $800,000. Back in Political Science at George Washington University, Professor Purcell called this a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cross-cutting cleavage,â&#x20AC;? or a clever political maneuver. Zachary Cohen, the Democratic candidate for Town Supervisor, along with Democratic candidates for Town Board Sylvia Overby and Peter Van Scoyoc, announced in a press release last week that they came to the conclusion that the leaf policy is a fee or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;stealth taxâ&#x20AC;? (their words) after conducting a costbenefit analysis of the East Hampton Highway Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past leaf pick-up program and studying the effects of wiping it out. Their findings concluded that eliminating the leaf pick-up program saved about $14 in taxes for a resident yet cost the resident so much more because, for one thing, pick-ups are not done

in a cost-saving uniform way. In fact, what they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say was that the cost to the individual resident is more than the $30 resident beach pass fee is. Perhaps no one is ever going back to that unpopular issue. Yet the leaf pick-up costing more doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem as poignant an issue YET to residents as free beach parking was back then. The Democrat-sponsored report concludes that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leaf pick-up is an example of government providing a service less expensively and more efficiently than the private sector. One reason is that the Highway Department can organize the pickup so that all the leaves on a street are picked up on the same day. This is more efficient that having a dozen homeowners calling a dozen different landscapers.â&#x20AC;? Now, in the age of reduced government services, revenues and possible state-enforced Town real estate tax caps at 2% on the immediate horizon, lots of changes in New York towns are forthcoming. Make no mistake about it, East Hampton Supervisor Wilkinson and his aide Len Bernard have the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s once out-of-control finances in line. They may even have a surplus or enough money to reduce taxes two years in a row. But a Town homeowner must calculate, is it wiser to pay $14 less in town taxes to pay $40 upwards at home to have their leaves removed? Is that smart to their pocketbooks? Is that good management on their part to let the town do that, pass that cost on to them? I think the leaf policy is again going to change; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the smart thing to do.

is that all about? Every time I see that ad I secretly hope one of the arrows hits the car, or at least gives it a flat tire, because the ad makes no sense. There are a lot of car ads like this. Ads that waste oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain power. The Cadillac CTS is such a beautiful car that it hardly needs advertising. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of these rare cars that people buy just because it visually blows them away. GM dealers should just put it in the front window of their dealerships. Please, no more silly-nilly commercials like this one that are pleasing to watch but make no sense whatsoever. Chrysler is currently running ads that claim that certain models have a longer driving range than their competitors. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t insult our intelligence. All that means is that they have the largest gas tanks. I personally feel Chrysler has been producing the best television commercials of the Big Three, certainly the most creative with the best music. The ones for the Dodge Ram Pickup and the new Chrysler 300 have been pure genius. Stick to those guns. What you guys need are more fuel-efficient smaller motors, not bigger gas tanks. Good luck.

tracheotomy. I didn’t look at the rest of the pictures, but you get the point. Ever since I saw the movie The Informant, starring Russell Crowe, portraying the true story of the scientist who blew the whistle on the tobacco industry, I have the greatest sympathy for smokers. Tobacco companies spend millions in research to develop the most highly addictive enhanced nicotine they can. The fastest delivery system is straight into the blood stream through the lungs and right up to the pleasure center of the brain. The cigarette is just a delivery system for the drug. It’s not that smokers don’t want to quit, it’s that they are fighting an uphill battle against a lethal and legally addictive drug. I admire anyone who can quit. But I am very concerned about the precedent being set by printing the negative results of consumer items right on the labels. “You ready to go shopping, Patty?” “Yeah, Sal, I got my black marker and an extra for you.” “Okay, get your cart, you first.” “Meat counter first, Sally. The FDA allows farmers to sell cloned meat to the public now, so look for the meats that don’t have the picture of the two-headed calf on them.” “I can’t find any, Patty. Found some pork though, there’s no picture of a freak pig, but there’s a picture of a man clutching his chest as he’s falling.” “Okay, let’s get the pork, just use it sparingly.” “Right Patty. The chickens have pictures of a heart with a smiley face. The Purdue chickens have pictures of people square dancing, I guest they’re the healthiest choice.” “Are there any organic, free range chickens,

Sally?” “Yeah, but the picture is of chicken’s rolling around on the ground stoned. They might be a little too organic for us.” “Toilet paper next, Sal.” Okay. The Charmin has a picture—is this really necessary—of a guy sitting on the toilet smiling and giving a thumbs up to the camera. The Scott tissue has a picture of the same guy—I guess he’s the only moron they could find for this job—just sitting on the can reading the newspaper, very noncommittal. Now here’s the generic, and the picture here is not good, it’s the same guy being taken into the ER, the caption reads, ‘Beware, splinters!’” “Let’s get the Scott.” “Good enough for me, Patty.” “And now to the snack aisle—get your black marker ready.” “Ready, now show me how you do this, Patty.” “Choose the snack you love, hold it in your hand at arm’s distance, get your marker ready, turn your head away, flip the box over—you know the picture is on the top of the back of the box—and black it out by feel, then you can turn the box around and voila! No trauma!” “I think I have it. Let me try my Little Debbie Cinnamon buns. Grab package, turn over...” “Turn your head first, Sally!” “Aaaaaahhhhhhhh.......too late......oooohhhh mmyyy ggggaaawwwdddd!” “What was it? Was it that bad?” “It was my ass, Patty. I’d recognize my pants with the giant pink flowers anywhere......oh, the inhumanity.......”

BY THE BOOK by Joan Baum

Though President Obama recently reiterated his determination to reverse reports of America’s “long standing mediocrity” in math and science—the country coming in, respectively, 26th and 21st in international rankings—national polls continue to reflect the power of fundamentalism to affect curricula and classroom texts. Giving as much play to intelligent design as to what they call the “mere” theory of evolution, political and religious zealots tend to downplay or denigrate the evidences of history and the significance of

scientific method while militating for the teaching of their views in schools. Count prize-winning poet, novelist, literary scholar and nonfiction writer Philip Appleman among the most ardent and eloquent of voices opposing theirs. But look to another reason as well for why the editor of The Norton Critical Edition of Darwin keeps lobbing satiric Secular Humanist zingers at those whom he sees as aiding and abetting scientific ignorance: their tacit acceptance of, or indifference to, Man’s Inhumanity to Man by way of celebrating as true sacred texts and stories that exemplify cruelty, irrationality and gore. Appleman’s latest salvo, a short collection of mainly free verse in the voice of various Biblical characters, including God, is called Perfidious Proverbs: A Satirical Look at the Bible (Humanity Books). It includes poems written over the last 30-odd years, along with

some new pieces. Together, they constitute a kind of narrative, moving from sections on The Creator to The Created to The Holy Men to Living With the Bible to Salvation—a logical order and “in the end a rather hopeful trajectory.” In this sense Appleman’s mode belongs to the 3-Rs tradition of satire: Recognition, Risibility, Reform: understand what is being said, letting wit and humor prevail over didacticism, then muse on what might be different. Appleman’s dedication of Perfidious Proverbs to his long-standing and much-beloved wife Margie provides the first clue to his heresy: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight.” The line, from Psalms 19:14, prayerbook words intended for Jehovah, now applies to the woman Appleman deeply loves. If this shift proves too subtle, the Foreword to the book by musician, songwriter and outspoken freethinker Dan Barker, a former evangelical minister for 19 years who promotes the separation of church and state, will certainly do it. He aptly quotes Mark Twain: “It ain’t the parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me. It is the parts that I do understand.” For sure, readers will understand Appleman— accessible, conversational, humorous. He takes scriptural literalism to its reductio ad absurdum extreme—Noah fretting over the space problem on his 450-foot boat, Sarah working out progeny of who begat whom, Jonah, himself doubtful about that big fish tale. But Appleman can also turn suddenly, profoundly gnomic, as when a crucified Jesus declares that “God/is only a trick with mirrors, our/dark reflection in a glass.” That God is everywhere: in churches, mosques, synagogues. In his introduction Appleman assails them all for institutionalizing and promoting so-called piety that too often proves “socially destructive and sometimes devastating,” causing down through the ages “massive human loss and human misery, which continue unabated today.” Though Perfidious Proverbs delivers playful and sharp rebukes, Appleman ends the collection on a personal note of affirmation in human, not divine, love, as he writes about the agonizing death from cancer of his mother and of the various medical ordeals of his wife. What kind of a God sanctions such pain, what kind of spiritual leaders say it’s God’s will? As “LastMinute Message for a Time Capsule” puts it—a knockout poem of rhythm and metaphor—what greater faith than in cherishing each other and ferns and daisies and “blue skies that could stagger your heart”? Philip Appleman will be reading in Sylvia Chavkin’s “Poetry Marathon” series at The Marine Museum, 301 Bluff Road, Amagansett, on Sunday, August 14, 5 p.m.

Restaurant Review: Amarelle

By Stacy Dermont Amarelle means “cherry tree.” Situated across from the village pond in Wading River, Amarelle is quite picturesque inside and out. This restaurant gets high marks from me for its friendly, efficient staff. Our server Steve was delightful, an enthusiastic foodie. Diane and Eric milled pepper and cleared with silent precision. I can’t say enough about how beautifully each dish is presented, you have to see it for yourself. Chef and owner, Lia Fallon, is also a professional food stylist. We eat first with our eyes—at Amarelle your eyes will feast. My husband and I sampled some summer cocktails—an Amarelle Lemon Sunset of Limoncello, Meyer lemon, bourbon, club soda and tart cherry juice for me, a Basil Gimlet of gin, agave nectar, muddled basil and lime for him. My Sunset, in shades of pink, was strong in a good way—it took CHARGE of my evening relaxation. Husband found his Gimlet “nice, good-smelling, not too sweet.” But you’re reading this to learn about Chef Lia Fallon’s food. In a word, “Oh, yeah!” I went for a Summer Prix Fixe, which is served from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., so I started with the Tomato Gazpacho. I’ve never been a big gazpacho fan—but color me newly converted. Hello, tiny ribbon of sour cream… For my entrée I had the Squash Three Ways— zucchini grilled with balsamic vinegar, patty pan roasted with bamboo rice and currants and a pan-seared squash blossom stuffed with goat cheese mousse. Yum. This squashy selection was the essence of summer and I felt healthy eating it. The bamboo rice was tender and delicious. The squash blossom, otherworldly. Then I thoroughly enjoyed a Salad Amarelle of butter lettuce, frisée, arugula, sun-dried cherries, cocoa-dusted goat cheese, delicately toasted almonds and white balsamic vinegar with vanilla bean essence. This is a special salad—exacting but not fussy. For dessert I had the Profiterole with vanilla gelato and warm fudge sauce. Nothing objectionable here. My guys said they were too stuffed for dessert—but they both found a little room for a bit of my profiterole. At Amarelle the menu is not strictly divided into “Appetizers” and “Entrees.” Most of the entrees are available as a smaller, appetizer serving. It works. Husband had the Tomato Medley of heirloom tomatoes, roasted tomato coulis, Parmesan and basil oil. Paired with Palmer’s 2009 Sauvignon Blanc, this is THE moment for tomatoes! Then Husband enjoyed Sea Scallops in brown butter over red quinoa, topped with very

crispy shredded leeks. I stole a piece of one scallop—ahh, that pleasing, buttery, creamy sweetness… Our teenage son ordered the Buffalo Hanger Steak, blackened, with sweet potato pancakes, corn-crusted fried onions and salsa verde. I didn’t have a prayer—no way was I getting a taste of any of it. He very much approved of the savory/sweet combination. Teenage Boy followed his buffalo course with cheese, the Weekly Cheese Plate—the chef’s selection of local and artisanal cheeses. Truffled Pecorino, Roqueford-Crusted Chevre and Camembert served with dried figs and toasts were gone in a flash. We also sampled some items from the Chef’s

Tasting Menu. The Oyster Fritters with sweet creamed corn, wilted arugula and harissa emulsion were lush and the corn perfect. The Grilled Watermelon served with heirloom tomato bruschetta, feta and basil was a delight. We were tempted by the Peach Tartin, but better to make a second, delicious trip to Amarelle. We look forward to trying the Apricot Sorbet. Amarelle’s Wine List is well edited, concise. In addition to wine from abroad, you can enjoy East End faves including Lenz, Paumonok, Sparkling Pointe and Wölffer. Of course many of the ingredients are local— (continued on page 60)

Summer Cookbook Roundup By Stacy Dermont I Scream for Ice Cream is a new cookbook by Benjamin Darling – and words to live by in these hot Hamptons! This tome includes a brief history of ice cream (Oh, those Egyptians!) and an explanation of how to make basic ice cream with a hand-crank ice cream maker, plus recipes for a wide variety of ice creams (like Strawberry Sour Cream!), sundaes, syrups, shakes, sodas, parfaits and sherbets. This cookbook is short and sweet and just plain fun to look at. All of the illustrations are vintage photographs and advertisements. Savoring the Hamptons, Discovering the Food and Wine of Long Island’s East End remains this season’s top-selling cookbook for good reason. It’s written by none other than the Queen of East End Cuisine, Silvia Lehrer. The book’s foreword by Alan Alda sums it up, “In these pages, you’ll meet the people of this island who keep the bees, dig the clams, grow the zucchini and tend the chickens and turkeys and goats, along with gifted chefs…” It’s your handy—and beautiful—guide to bringing your meals from field to table. This book is a compendium of recipes that use local ingredients to realize classic dishes.

BUT another important, local cookbook also came out this summer: The Go Fish Benefit Cookbook is the brainchild of artist Carol Boye. She’s put together a collection of treasured recipes donated by an eclectic mix of East Enders—from locals to famous artists to celebrity chefs—to save our bays by benefiting the Peconic Baykeeper and the Southampton Town Trustees Shellfish Program. Delicious fish and seafood recipes to save our delicious fish and seafood. Does it get any better than this? Yup, this handy little cookbook also features arresting East End-inspired art by a host of area artists in various media. Food plus art plus environmentalism. Thinking globally and eating locally just got even more beautiful. The cheerful cover of The Deen Bros. Get

Fired Up: Grilling, Tailgating, Picnicking, and More by Jamie and Bobby Deen pulled me in. I spend too much time eating out and cooking in my own kitchen to watch television. I only know the Deen brothers and their mother Paula Deen by reputation. Their rep for no-nonsense, solid cooking advice is borne out by this cookbook. I was almost inspired to serve food from a tailgate, and then I came to my senses and handed the book over to my husband, the resident grill master. I look forward to enjoying the fruits of his labors for months to come. Remember, grilling is not just for summer anymore! All books available locally and online.

Photto by E. D’Haene

Two Comedic Romps by Mulford Repertory

Josh Gladstone & Kate Mueth

By Elise D’Haene I caught up with Kate Mueth and Josh Gladstone at the Springs General Store on Saturday morning to discuss the Mulford Repertory Theatre’s upcoming performances at the Mulford Barn in East Hampton from August 16 to September 4, when it will present two comic works in repertory: The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, an adult romp written by Charles Busch, and Miss Electricity, a familyfriendly story written by Kathryn Walat. Mueth is the artistic director of the Mulford Rep and of the extremely popular Neo-Political Girls dance group. Gladstone is the artistic director of the John Drew Theatre at Guild Hall. In the Mulford’s fourth season, the wife and husband will be playing wife and husband

in Charles Busch’s ridiculously insightful and ceaselessly humorous play about an Upper West Side couple in a midlife malaise. Marjorie Taub (Mueth), depressed and unhinged, is married to Ira, a loving but ineffectual doctor (Gladstone). It would be a mistake to think of this as Woody Allen terrain. We’re dealing with the playwright and actor Charles Busch, the writer of such genius fare as Vampire Lesbians of Sodom and Psycho Beach Party. His depressives don’t groan, they shriek. Brought into the drama of Allergist is a childhood friend of Marjorie’s (Licia James Zegar), Marjorie’s shrew of a mother (Lydia Franco Hodges) and a watchful doorman (Joe Desane), who all help ratchet up the ridiculousness. Mueth, who directs both productions, said, “This play wasn’t even on my radar.” But Gladstone had read the part of Ira in a staged reading with the Naked Stage last year at Guild Hall and Richard Barons and Maureen Bluedorn of the East Hampton Historical Society, which sponsors the repertory company, loved it. The thespian duo could hardly suppress their exuberance for the play and their roles. “This isn’t just popcorn. There is a real journey in this play that has spirit, value, it doesn’t have a neat and tidy ending, it’s ambiguous,” said Gladstone. “I love the mystery of Marjorie,” added Mueth. “Yes,” Gladstone agreed, “and at the end the

Mulford Barn

audience is left wondering, questioning what really happened.” “It also speaks to the fact that we can learn the most from hardship, and that profundity is often found through the simplest connections,” Mueth explained, “sometimes from what is right in front of you.” Directing herself, her husband and her company all at the same time is a new challenge for Mueth. “It’s great,” Gladstone said, “you’ve thrown yourself into the crucible. It’s fantastic for me. I’m used to being the bossy pain in the ass. Here, I get to act. I’m part of the company. Plus, I admire and respect the director. And love her!” The Mulford Repertory is made up of working, professional actors and is based on the classic repertory model—actors making art where

London Jewelers: “It’s All About the Dogs” By Nanci E. LaGarenne “It’s all about dogs!” says Candy Udell, owner of London Jewelers, about the benefit on August 19: “London Jewelers presents The Pet Project.” Starting at 6 p.m., London Jewelers at 2 Main Street in East Hampton will be transformed into an animal-friendly fundraiser all about man’s best friend. Udell teams up with ARF (the Animal Rescue Fund), to host an event that will capture your heart, and hopefully your wallet too, for a great cause. The benefit, which is all about saving animals from inhumane treatment when they are no longer wanted, is close to Udell’s heart and she wants to share it with all of you. The event is free and sounds like a hoot of a time. Bring your pet for a portrait by pet portrait artist Ellen Silverberg of East Hampton who is known for capturing the spirit and personality of all animals in her paintings (www.paintedpetportraits.com). There will be great raffles, a silent auction and the possibility of adopting a new friend—loveable pooches and kitties to choose from, straight from our local ARF. “Come for cocktails, leave with a new best friend” is what the invitation says. The goal of this event is twofold: 1. Save animals from slaughter, which is happening in the poorest counties of Alabama, and 2. Educate people about spaying and neutering their animals. Udell is planning to build a humane animal shelter in Alabama. “The root of the problem is there. No one is spaying or neutering the animals. They hang, shoot and

the humane shelter she drown unwanted dogs and is building in Alabama. cats,” Udell says. Sadly “People who are animal this goes beyond the lovers need to get behind horror of that fact. With this,” she stresses. Her passion and tears in her passion for this just cause eyes, Udell says that “You is making sense of an should adopt. Puppy mills unmonitored system that drop dogs everywhere. is killing animals every There is no reason to ever day. go buy a dog.” Donations will be And she is not alone in welcomed at the benefit, her thinking. Honored which is free. But be sure guest at the Pet Project to make a reservation, on August 19 will be so Udell can prepare Dr. Rhonda Parker of accordingly. “It will be a Birmingham, State Chair very special evening,” she of AVRAL (Alabama Voters promises, “for people who for Responsible Animal care and want to make Legislation). According to change. I am all about the Huntsville Times, Dr. “Ziggy” by Ellen Silverberg supporting local charities, Parker says, “Rescuers that is why I picked ARF.” will never solve the woes of any state. Only by coming together and taking A fun bracelet for the cause is available at a stand for the humane treatment of animals London Jewelers, designed by Udell, called Paw will our voices be heard.” Parker, the Chair of Dog Rescue Bangle, a silver paw with a heart the Department of Communications at Samford on a pink, red or black cord, with or without University, has taken a huge step in preventing diamond chip. It is adorable. I will get one for a special young woman who adores animals the torturous killing of animals. “There is something so wrong with this and deserves a nice present for her efforts to country and the way they handle animals,” save them, one kitty and dog at a time. Shh, Udell explains. “We have to spay and neuter to don’t tell her. So, bring your pooch! Have fun. not have unwanted animals. Put the big money Adopt a pet. Save the animals. It’s time. RSVP from pet organizations into spay/neuter, make to Maria Gillen at 516-627-7475, mariagillen@ it affordable.” Udell plans on doing just that at londonjewelers.com.

they live and launching more than one show at a time. “The East Hampton Historical Society is so great because they understand the value of a repertory company here. It’s a family of paid actors—crafted professional actors. I am so lucky and have so much gratitude for their support.” If you’ve never had an opportunity to see a Mulford Rep show, it’s time. The company is known for having a gift for impeccable comic timing and seasoned acting bravado, and the plays are performed at the historic 1721 Mulford Barn, one of the most bucolic settings on the East End and one of New York’s most significant English Colonial farmsteads. “The idea of getting an audience to experience

both an amazing 18th-century structure while rolling in laughter at a play seemed like a great way to introduce a new venue to people not familiar with the Mulford Farm Museum,” said Barons, Executive Director of the East Hampton Historical Society. Mueth’s choice of Miss Electricity as the second show on the bill is perfect. It’s a play that is relatively new and received amazing reviews in its first run in San Diego. It’s also a perfect play for children, a 50-minute ride with 10-year-old Violet (Zegar) who is determined to set a world record in something so that the other kids at school will know how special she is. Her best friend, Freddy (DeSane), has signed up to help her. (How about “The

world’s loudest burp” or “furthest eyeball popper?” Freddy suggests). Just when things seem hopeless, something electric happens that changes Violet’s and Freddy’s lives and friendship forever. The plays are performed on alternate nights, Tuesdays through Sundays (August 16 to September 4) at Mulford Farm, James Lane, East Hampton. The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife begins at 7:30 p.m., opening night August 16. Miss Electricity starts at 6 p.m., opening night August 17. Seating is limited to 50 per performance. Advance tickets are strongly recommended and can be had at www. TheaterMania.com. Price: $20 in advance; $25 at the door. Everyone is invited to come early and bring a picnic, libations of choice, and a blanket and enjoy the beautiful grounds of Mulford Farm before the show. Gates open at 5 p.m.

from 6:15 to 6:55, Best Coast played from 7:15 to 8:15 and Patti Smith played between 9:20 and 10:20. Similar schedules were held to on other stages. The crowds, tired and happy, went home at 11 p.m. when the day’s events ended. Tomorrow would be another day. Saturday was pretty much a repeat of Friday, but with bigger crowds. People were arriving from the city in cars and busses, others were brought over from the high-end tent camp set up at the Elks Lodge Grounds on County Road 39, others just drove over from their homes. And by late Saturday evening, with an estimated 9,000 people on the grounds, this place was rocking. At that hour—and you could wander from one location to another—here’s what was going on. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros were playing on the main stage, Xaphoon Jones of Chiddy Bang was in the main dance tent, The Jackson Rider was at Jack’s Stir Brew Acoustic Stage, DJ Pierre was playing under the trees in the Woodlands Dance-Off Area and one or another of the speakers, Olivia Koski, was lecturing on How to Destroy Things With Light. In the Shinnecock Area, the smells of venison, blue fish and Indian tacos filled the air. Now all you local folk watching TV at home or hanging out at the local bars who wondered what the traffic situation was like for all this, I can tell you it was smooth sailing into and out of the grounds with no great tie-ups at all more than normal on the highways, according to the police. Furthermore, as it all ended at 11 p.m., there were no incidents at all on the roads going home, or at least no more than usual. As for all those well-to-do summer people who got all dressed up and went to one or another of the big fundraisers taking place that Saturday night—with the silent auctions, the dinners, the speeches and the buffets—I can tell you, well, you missed something. Not my cup of tea you might say, but then, well, remember your youth. This was the sort of stuff that magic is made of. Sunday morning it was raining cats and dogs. Although things were to clear up in the

A Ride in the Family Limo Down Memory Lane By Terry Sullivan “I’m an ol’ cowhand, from the Rio Grande, and I learned to ride, ‘fore I learned to stand....” My father’s bone rigid baritone voice filled the chauffeur’s enclosure, singing as we went for a Sunday drive in the 1937 Packard six-wheel limousine, our family car. It was called a sixwheel because it had two spare tires on the front wheel wells that were topped by side view mirrors. The front seat contained my parents separated from the rear cabin by a roll-up window that never rolled down. There was an intercom that only worked one way, my father’s favorite means of communicating,

from the driver’s seat to his captive audience in the back, his kids. It boomed like a voice from above whenever he thought one of us was misbehaving, which was frequently. In the middle of some childish arguing he would interject, “Brian and Terence”... pause... “Particularly”…pause...”Terence!” The latter named would be thrashed at his next convenience. The interior of the cab was covered with a soft brown tightly woven wool that was 15 years old when we owned it, and it was big enough, when you flipped up the retracting drop seats, from the sealed chauffeur window divider to the back, for four kids to play Monopoly on

the floor while the three eldest sat in the back seat. We must have been quite a sight tooling down the parkway, my father at the wheel dressed to a fashion at least as old as his 1937 Packard and just as mainstream as the flat-head eight engine under the hood. My mom was no slouch, as she wore those wide brimmed hats, a la Barbara Stanwick in the 1940s, along with a Barbara Stanwick tough gal attitude. The brims looked even wider on her as she was barely five feet tall and about 85 pounds in a wet woolen overcoat. Then there was the menagerie of seven little “no neck monsters” peering back out at the world, who had eyes from a Keane painting inspired by Stephen King. During one ride on the Northern State Parkway I turned to my sister Anne, sitting on the back seat and asked, “Why are those people in the other cars pointing and staring at us?” “Don’t stare back,” she said, “just use your third eye.” To this day we still don’t know where she got the third eye concept, in 1952, at the age of 12. The usual ride was a drive into the city to visit relatives in Brooklyn or a little beyond in Tarrytown, but every so often we would get piled into the car for a joyless joyride. If you drove due North from where we lived on the Hicksville/Levittown borderline, Rte.106 would take you into the heart of Muttontown, home of many a Gold Coast estate. My father would drive through this wooded, hilly enclave, pull into the private driveway of one of these robber baron estates, and inexplicably, pull back out without any contact with the residents. My father’s family history may help here: his father amassed a small fortune in the 1920s, he had parlayed his Olympic athlete notoriety into business, married money, that backed his idea of a construction business that built 20% of all the resort homes on the Irish-American Riviera, the Rockaways during the 1920s. His nouveau riche relatives also showed him where to invest his new found wealth, in the booming late 20s stock market. My Grampa had enough money left to own three homes with servants after the crash, enough to keep up appearances and send my dad to boarding school during the Depression, giving him the impression he belonged with those heirs of real fortunes he went to school with. Years later, my Dad had a Master’s degree from St. John’s in English Literature, but (continued on page 68)

The BEAST Roar Hits Amagansett Square By Elise D’Haene There will be a vortex of energy in Amagansett Square on Saturday, August 13, that may just generate enough power to keep the East End buzzing all week. Romaine Gordon, owner of B-East RealRyder fitness studio, will be at the center of this vortex, and will roll the bikes into the square for a 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. BEAST ROAR to benefit the Max Cure Foundation. A D.J. will spin tunes to keep your body in motion. Participants can race for one hour or two. Water will be freely flowing and the cost is only $75 a bike per hour. If spinning is not your thing, you can sponsor a rider or sponsor a bike, or attend for the fun and buy raffle tickets ($5) or bid on items in a silent auction for a bunch of amazing stuff.

In addition to the Beast Roar, kids can take on their own challenge in an obstacle course suitable for all ages. The youngsters can walk a balance beam over a pool of water, hop in potato sacks, shoot hoops, toss water balloons into a barrel, climb a wall, run through tires, bob for apples and more. Two courses will be set up, one for smaller kids and another one for ages 10 and above. Yes, this is a lot of physical activity, and what does a lot of physical activity call for? ICE CREAM! Ben & Jerry’s will be on hand with cold, sweet treats for all. Some of the East End’s finest restaurants and businesses have made donations for the raffle and silent auction. Among them are half-day boat rentals, surf lessons,

Romaine Gordon

standup paddle lessons, massages and tickets to “The Late Show with David Letterman.” Grandstand Sports will be at the event and have a large selection of items up for bid, including a tour of the new Yankee stadium led by a former Yankee champion, a New York Giants On-Field Game Day experience package and a U.S. Open V.I.P. tennis package. If sports isn’t your thing, you can bid on tickets to the Grammy Awards, access to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and a California Sonoma and Napa Valley wine tour package.

couldn’t land a teaching job, got my mom pregnant and took the first civil service test available, he got the highest mark out of 29,874 applicants, but that just made him the best test taker to walk a beat in New York City in the bleak mid-winter of the Great Depression. Back to the early 1950s, pulling into those private driveways, was my father returning to an estate he once knew, re-visiting an old classmate? Or was he still fascinated by what would have happened had his family retained the wealth they once had? He did seem to resent his life as a worker bee-policeman; what good was the four years of Classical Latin and Greek on the job, except for surprising the Greek diner owner who couldn’t get over this Irish-American cop reading his Greek daily newspaper, or maybe he could engage some alleged perpetrators in a Socratic dialogue, more likely, a monologue? So why did this ex-rich boy buy a 1937 Packard six-wheel limousine? He did have the cover story that it was the only car big enough for all his seven kids. More likely it was a symbol of class and privilege, and it was a beautiful piece of American manufacturing. It did not look out of place in Muttontown, maybe it was owned by an aging heiress who loved the elegant three foot tall chrome radiator, topped by a winged lady with outstretched arms, but we knew this was not its home. As the old Packard rolled out of shady Muttontown, the closer we got to home, the trees were as old as our house: four-year-old saplings lined the neatly manicured streets. Rolling into our driveway, we heard the last strains of, “I know all the tricks that the cowboys know, ‘cause I learned ‘em all on the radio, yippee yi yo ki yay...Terence!” Terence M. Sullivan is a practitioner of the Bardic tradition of Ireland singing a capella, in Irish and English, from Carnegie Hall to Canio’s Books in Sag Harbor. He writes verses and prose inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds Sag Harbor and the natural madness and humor of Manhattan where he lived for 35 years.

But the exact opposite happened. At every point during the planning of this festival, an obstacle was put into place deliberately to make it that much harder to pull off. Interestingly enough, on the Shinnecock Reservation, where, like most of America today, people are desperate for the business and to get awareness of their community, they had absolutely no problem getting a concert up on their grounds, and pretty much none of the acts that they booked were as recognizable as the Music To Know acts, and the ticket prices were basically the same price and targeting the same people. It’s a bit ironic when you think about how American capitalism is supposed to work, and in a way, it’s sort of a mirror of what’s happening with the economy of America today. After all, when was the last time a factory got up off the ground in America without NIMBYs doing everything they could to stop it, only for them to find out later that the company moved their operations to China. Be careful what you wish for, East Hampton.

Free Seminar on Lyme Disease at Bay Street Time for Lyme, an organization dedicated to funding and promoting research for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases, will hold a free seminar and networking reception entitled, “Lyme Disease in the Hamptons, What You Need to Know.” The seminar will take place on Friday, August 19 at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor. Robert S. Chaloner, President and CEO of Southampton Hospital, adds that “every resident and visitor to the East End should be aware of the danger of tick-borne disease and should know what symptoms to look for and the importance of timely medical attention. Southampton Hospital is pleased to partner

with Time for Lyme, Inc. in support of this important educational program.” Panelists include Benjamin Luft, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Stony Brook University Medical Center, Darin G. Wiggins, M.D., Chairman, Department of Emergency Medicine, Southampton Hospital, George Dempsey, M.D., Family Practitioner, East Hampton. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the incidence of Lyme disease has tripled over the last 15 years to almost 40,000 cases in 2009. And the CDC believes only 10 to 12% of Lyme disease cases are actually being reported to them. Many experts believe 200,000 people per year are

infected with this disease. Those interested can register for the free seminar ahead of time by calling 233-969-1333 or online at www.timeforlyme.org. On the day of the event registration will take place at 3:30 p.m. The program begins at 4 p.m. There will be a reception after the lecture from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Ally Hilfiger, a fashion designer and actress and a spokesperson for Time for Lyme, will be a special guest. Sponsored by Time for Lyme, Southampton Hospital, Bay Street Theatre, Landscape Details, Inc., and East End Tick Control.

afternoon, the grounds were experiencing flood conditions and the tribe requested that the promoters call off the festival for Sunday, and they did. According to Pam Workman, one of the spokespeople for Escape to New York, the organizers had already decided this was a huge success and would be back next year, and if that’s what the tribe wanted, they would honor the request. They declared the event over just before the gates were to open at 11 a.m. The people who bought tickets would have their money refunded. Those who had three-day passes would be offered options that would be equal to the loss of the third day. Who else needs to decide if they come back? The Town of Southampto? No. It’s the Shinnecocks. The thing is this: Seven years ago, PETA, that group that harasses anything going on that in their opinion that looks like cruelty to animals, began to picket the Clyde Beatty Cole Brothers Circus over at the Southampton Elks Lodge Grounds on County Road 39, which had been coming for two days every summer for generations. After continuing pressure, the town passed a rule requiring the circus to agree not to come with wild animals or elephants for the kids to ride. They did that. There were dog acts. It wasn’t the same. And they did that a year later too. In the fall after that second year, I called up the Shinnecock Tribe people and spoke to Lance Gumbs there and said you know what? Why not have the circus THERE, on the reservation? The tribe, as set up by the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs 150 years ago, has its own rules on the reservation. “You could have elephants,” I told Gumbs. “And the circus would pay to have it on the grounds.” And so they did, the circus, complete with the big cats and the elephants—who seem to love what they do—took place on the PowWow Grounds that year and every year since then—and PETA can’t get at them. And that’s the way it is. Congratulations to Freddie Fellows, the Englishman with the grand estate who 10 years ago established the let-it-all-hang-out model of hippie and Alice in Wonderland Weekends that have since become a staple in that country. Now this event has come to America. I, for one, salute it. I wave my hat in the air at it. Wait ‘til next year.

Outsource Your Shopping to Someone Else By Rachel Abrams I don’t typically outsource my purchasing, but lately, I’ve come into a few shopping assistants on the East End. Not the kind who buy clothing or lend fashion and fitting advice. Folks with an eye for funky furniture, decorative accents and utility items, the stuff you don’t shop for as much as stumble upon. Heading up the effort is my mother-inlaw, who’s assumed the role magnanimously, working the local yard sales and estate sales on my behalf. She delivers on the items I request—distressed picture frames, tool carriers, old milk crates (I can’t have enough of the latter)—texting me from the sale front lines

on Saturday morning: “Fnd old trunk I thnk u wld like.” Then without prompting—bless her—she e-mails a picture. “Can gt fr 20. Y or N?” She’s neutral in her role, never pressuring me to accept the first find because it means less work for her. Moreover, she independently curates a “You might also like,” list that rivals the most algorithmically sound ecommerce site. Recently, she brought over a delightful wooden carrier that was used for picking strawberries before I stuffed it with hand towels. “And what about this bird cage?” she asked nonchalantly, holding up the pet mansion for me to assess. “You could turn it into a pendant light!” I beam at her ingenuity. This lady’s got my number.

Next are our friends, a married couple whose combined skill is unparalleled for finding, fixing and restoring cool things. They hail from Los Angeles, the land of upscale garage sales, so working the Hamptons is junior varsity for them. They don’t just spot what’s for sale; they see items’ potential and work to realize it. Last visit, they picked up a pair of discarded Shaker chairs down the street. She took a box cutter to their stringy rattan remnants like she was gutting a fish, and after a brief consultation involving rope and twine samples from the hardware store, she wove new seats with thick, stretchy boating cord, then slapped on some glossy red paint. These comfortable thrones are maritime chic, poor man’s Aerons, if you will. Finally, there’s my husband’s friend from Springs who frequents the dumps in East Hampton and Montauk. For our wedding gift, he procured an antique electric meat scale (We didn’t register.) It doesn’t light up when plugged in like it’s supposed to, but it sits on the counter looking cool, holding mail. Then there’s the Chicco stroller he found. If you’re not familiar, this is an Italian (read: expensive) brand for kid gear. What kind of mother puts her baby in a garbage dump stroller, you’re thinking. Don’t fret, I laundered the parts I could, though—I confess—not before taking our son for a spin in town. Speaking of spin, if you see me on Main Street pushing my baby around and around the block, I am not playing some cutesy infant game. It is simply that I cannot go straight for long without the stroller veering right, forcing me to turn. When I pass (or ram into) other families with the same carriage, they smile in stroller solidarity. What fools who pay retail. But the piece de resistance of our friend’s dumpster finds is—get this—a brand new, in-the-box, Black & Decker hot air popper. I know…how can I utter “movie snack” and “garbage dump” in the same sentence. Well I can, and you know the best part? It has one of those butter melters on top! You may say, “Gross!” but I say, “Enjoy the show!”

Speedfit: 10 Minutes a Day, Three Times a Week By Alexandra Andreassen Alex Astilean has impressive credentials as a former world-class athlete. Hailing from Romania, his reputation as a physical trainer has been growing since he came to the United States in 1990. After being mentored by fitness guru Radu, working at gyms and training stars like Cindy Crawford, Matthew Broderick and Vanessa Williams, he eventually opened his own training facility in the Hamptons. Soon after, he concentrated his efforts on developing a new fitness routine based on 10-minute sessions of speed running in intervals, which he had been honing for 8 years. After hearing about the method, I decided to give it a try. A 10-minute exercise that actually works? Sign me up. Astilean’s system is called “SpeedFit,” and it was shaped by the philosophy that too much exercise wears out the body rather than keeping it fit. Most people increase the distance that they run or walk to burn more calories, but this can ruin the body; instead, one should increase the speed in place of distance to achieve a more effective workout. Astilean has devised a “Fitness Matrix” that charts speed with run time to help people determine their own individual fitness level, and based on that, their own individual workout. He teaches a low-impact, injury-free, high-energy approach to fitness and running, and he creates individualized workouts that are never the same and are always challenging.

I met Astilean in his brand new studio in the heart of East Hampton. He first introduced me to the system and explained how it worked, and then gave me a fitness test to determine my level. He even taught me the correct technique for running, stepping with the balls of the feet to reduce impact. Once we knew where I was at, he showed me his chart as well as the computer program that helps devise workouts for each individual based on his or her level. The workouts “compress what you do in 60 minutes, in 10 minutes,” he said. “You don’t need more than 10 minutes…the goal is not the skill anymore, the goal is the fitness level because as soon as the fitness level is higher, the weight drops.” Additionally, one only has to do the workout for a maximum of 3 times a week for it to be effective. It definitely felt like his method of speed running in intervals was working—I was sweating! Astilean constantly encouraged me and pushed me to exercise with my maximum potential. Moreover, he told me that one burns calories even after the 10 minutes, and one’s metabolism speeds up, so diets are no longer necessary. “I believe if you do this program, you can eat anything you want. You don’t need to diet,” he stated. Astilean has also invented his own version of the treadmill, called a Speedboard. This was truly amazing—it is designed with a curved bottom and no handles, and it allows any user to maintain the speed they desire using

the simple force of gravity. It also forces the user to run correctly, reducing stress on the leg joints. There was even a version of the Speedboard with a bungee attachment for larger clients, taking 100 pounds off of their body and enabling them to exercise without pain. The Speedboards are non-motorized and completely green, requiring not even a battery to operate. Astilean’s system has been tested on 6,000 subjects since the process started in 2001, and has been designed for success. He truly wants to see people benefit from it, and is adamant that anyone can achieve their goals using his system. Astilean has both one-hour classes and private instruction in his studio. The classes also include stomach and upper bodywork, stretching and more, and clients receive individual attention because “everybody is different.” Aside from the classes, he charges only $10 for 10 minutes of personal training with the system. Astilean is confident that people will see results: “I will change your body.” So, 10 minutes, 3 times a week, no diets, and great results? I think I can handle that.

Classes held Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m., Saturday, 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. $30 per class. 10-minute individual session, $10.

NORTH FORK OVER THE BARREL

by Lenn Thompson

Winemaker Suprenant Introduces Private Label Coffee Pot Cellars

Earlier this summer, Adam Suprenant, winemaker at Osprey’s Dominion Vineyards for the past decade, released the first wines under his own private label – Coffee Pot Cellars. This unique name for a winery may surprise, but it is as local as local gets. “The inspiration for the label came one early evening on my friend Ron Apostle’s boat during a spectacular late summer sunset. We were going back home through Plum Gut by the lighthouse at Orient Point. The vision of the stark black and white lighthouse against the blazing crimson sky was stunning and combined with the cool saltwater spray gave me goose bumps. Since I don’t own a vineyard of my own, I thought what better symbol of the North Fork is there than that? It was only later that I discovered that Orient Point Lighthouse’s nickname is The Coffee Pot,” Suprenant said when I asked him the origins of the name. While it’s true that Suprenant doesn’t own his own vineyard, his more than 10 years in the local wine industry means he has built relationships with several growers, most notably Sam McCullough, who also manages the vineyards at Lenz Winery. Suprenant also buys fruit from his employers and other North Fork producers. The launch portfolio consists of two white wines – a Chardonnay and a Sauvignon Blanc – as well as two reds – a Merlot and a Meritage. The most expensive is $22, making Coffee Pot a brand that promises to over-deliver for the price, I think successfully. The Coffee Pot Cellars 2009 Sauvignon Blanc ($18), made with Osprey’s Dominion fruit, is extremely citrusy with dominant grapefruit and candied lemon peel character, and accents of melon and sweet grass. Medium-bodied and tense with fresh, citrusy acidity, it is a straightforward, appetite-whetting white that is satisfying and clearly meant for local shellfish. Suprenant used fruit from McCullough’s vineyard to make his Coffee Pot Cellars 2010 Chardonnay ($16), which is similarly straightforward, offering yellow apple, lemon zest and faintly nutty notes. Made without any new oak or malolactic fermentation – the process that changes green apple malic acidity into rounder, lactic acid – this Chardonnay retains its freshness. Over the years, Suprenant has shown a talent for coaxing ripe flavors out of grapes grown during even the coolest of growing seasons. That talent is on display with the Coffee Pot Cellars 2008 Merlot ($18), a well-priced wine that shows classic coolseason Long Island terroir. Again made entirely with McCullough fruit, this wine shows aromas of black cherry, plum and subtle toasty oak with a sprinkling of dried thyme, baking spice and a bit of an earthy edge. Medium bodied with ripe, mediumgrip tannins, there is a crunchy freshness to the fruit – again mostly cherry and plum – along with those pretty herbal notes. It’s not intense on the mid-palate and a bit short on the finish, but for $18 this is a wine worth checking out.

Even better, however, is the Coffee Pot Cellars 2008 Meritage ($22), a Merlotheavy blend made with some Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The nose oozes blueberry, currant and plum fruit and subtle aromas of fennel seed, white pepper and other dried herbs. The palate is medium bodied but the tannins are far bigger here, providing grip and plenty of structure for ripebut-restrained fruit intensity.

Spicy and peppery on the finish, this is a wine that will improve with short-term aging. Coffee Pot Cellars wines are available in wine shops on the North Fork with some distribution on the South Fork and Brooklyn. They are also available at The North Fork Table & Inn and Vine Street Cafe. For more information on store locations and to purchase the wines online visit www. coffeepotcellars.com.

Bella’s picks Blanche Williamson

Christopher Obetz

While Bella and I were sitting down to discuss her column this week, she thought we should talk to the Southampton Animal Shelter Executive Director, Ed Fritz, to see what was on his mind. Not knowing Bella has three cat sisters, Ed asked how Bella felt about cats. It seems there is a tremendous amount of lovable friendly cats at the Shelter who are in need of a home. Bella knows first hand what it’s like to adopt an older cat. Her brother Jackson, a shelter kitty, has been her closest animal friend for over a decade. They live in total sync. Whether in the back seat of the minivan traveling between New York and the Hamptons or just cruising around doing errands, they have developed a seamless love and friendship. Bella’s cat sisters play an incredible role in our family life. Though Bella may get to go to the beach, the cats have their own private garden with

a koi pond and butterflies to hold their constant attention and curiosity. The entire family (people, animals,and guests) spends afternoons under the swing watching the cats enjoy their playtime. While they run around, we catch up on the past week’s events. Bella, always by our side along with the three cats, was ready to hear what she might have missed while napping after her long walk. What we thought Bella would have really enjoyed was meeting Suzanne Murphy and Robert Albertson and their two King Charles Spaniels, Sandler and Reagan. Bella would have paid close attention to the Sunday afternoon lunch with a buffet. A place to make new animal friends and tell Shelter stories was just the setting for a surprise private showing of Robert’s photography. Robert’s passion since the 1970s has been photographing Osprey on Eastern Long Island, particularly on Shelter Island. He took our breath away with his prints. The best comparison I could make, to Bella, was that we just met the Audubon of Osprey. These classic images of Osprey in all stages of flight, juxtaposed against crisp blue skies or stark white modernist backgrounds, left me speechless. We all know that is hard to do, Bella especially. Meeting someone who has been passionate about a single vision for so long, seeing the evolution of his work, the history of birds in flight and their decline and renaissance was breathtaking. When I asked Robert what it was that he enjoyed most about the Osprey, he responded “family dynamics.” It is amazing how much we can all learn from other species. Cats, dogs,

birds or turtles, they all offer unique examples of social interactions. Always an unknown side to Bella’s family, her parents keep bird journals and diaries of their sightings. Growing up on Sanibel Island where Osprey endangerment was a top priority, Bella was excited to see such a deep connection here in the Hamptons. As the Osprey often soar above the cat garden, Bella keeps a watchful eye over the koi (Osprey don’t often target cats). After listening to the descriptions of Robert’s photographs, Bella reminded us to go to www. charitybuzz.com to see all the online auction items available to support the Shelter. Speaking of art, there is a commissioned portrait someone can buy to commemorate their favorite friend, made by artist Samuel Price. There is the culinary art opportunity to host a dinner party at an exclusive Southampton estate for 20 guests, with food prepared by Chef David Heart of Desmonds, NYC. There is also a one-of-a-kind limited-edition print of Bobby Jones by legendary artist Anthony Ravielli, to commemorate the athlete’s U.S. Open, British Open, U.S. Amateur and British Amateur Championships. These items (continued on next page)

and so much more make great gifts, and all of the proceeds benefit the shelter. Bella wanted to remind her readers to try and pay a visit to the Shelter thrift shop. You can stop by either on the way to the beach or when you’re just meandering around Southampton Village. This week, one of the new friends that she met at Unconditional Love let Bella come over and raid her vast closets to give her clothes a chance to find new homes (while also helping the Shelter). Bella likes to call this a designer rescue. As a final note, Bella asked me to share a special moment we had when we were heading to the beach. It was 6:30 a.m. and we were starting out on her early walk. We took our normal route. To our surprise, there was a car parked diagonally across the street, blocking our way. Odd. After close observation, we saw that someone had taken the time to block the road so that a turtle could cross the street and make safe passage into an open field. It was such an act of kindness and selflessness. We live in a world that constantly rushes and often fails to see the small things around us, so it was nice to see a man clearly on his way to play tennis take the time to make sure that a little creature could find his way home. Save a life – rescue or adopt an animal. The cats and dogs at the Southampton Animal Shelter are waiting. FYI, Bella is waiving all adoption fees (cats only) to anyone who brings in a Bella’s Dan’s Papers column as a thank-you to her readers. Pay it Forward, Bella P.S. Great News!

Tamara Matthews-Stephenson Summer entertaining made easy by tapping into local resources

If you are a local Hamptonite you may know La Fondita restaurant. It is a fabulous little no-frills Mexican take-out shop that our family loves in Amagansett. You order from the window and carry your food on a tray to picnic tables in the backyard. The food is delicious and the closest to my Mexicanborn sister-in-law’s cooking that I have found in the area. The tacos are not laden down with tons of cheese, and the salsa is very fresh with hints of cilantro and garlic. They offer daily specials, and the Baja-style fresh fish tacos taste like the ones we had during a recent trip to Southern California. La Fondita offers their items to go, so when planning my annual summer family party (a group of us have been hosting these Wednesday night summer parties for eight years now) I made it easy for myself and ordered up at the counter. When I arrived to pick up the food, the helpful staff offered me a full explanation of how to assemble

it all with marked instructions on each container. I went home armed with chicken, beef and fish tacos, beans, rice, spicy corn on a stick, guacamole and homemade salsa and chips. The only work was putting it together and warming up the tortillas just before serving so it stayed fresh – we even waited to encrust the roasted corn with the chili mayonnaise until the last few minutes before serving. La Fondita sells their own delicious tomatillo (green) sauce and various red sauces, and since the secret to Mexican cooking lies in the sauces, I recommend buying them here.

Summer entertaining is about keeping it casual, with delicious food and great company. I added some fun elements to the evening by picking up a piñata from The Party Store in the parking lot in East Hampton. I stuffed the colorful piñata with candy to rile up the kids, because a family party is not complete without hyperactive children running about, don’t you think? I ordered up hot pink-and-white striped tablecloths from my favorite rental company, Bermuda Party Rentals. The ladies over at Bermuda are very helpful and keep a wide array of rental linens in stock, from florals to solid colors. If you are hosting a large gathering they have everything possible, from lanterns to cutlery. Next, I pulled out my best Frozen Mango Margarita recipe (salt and all), made homemade quesadillas and stopped by my favorite farm stand, Round Swamp Farm in East Hampton, to scoop up fresh artichokes. I steamed the artichokes and served them with melted herb-infused lemon butter as an appetizer. The planning was a snap, made easy by the reliability of all these local resources. Although I love to cook, this party was particularly fun for me because I did not become frazzled and enjoyed my delicious homemade margarita with a parasol umbrella on top!

She had to bring the seeds of snow peas from Switzerland, though, as she could not find the seed here at that time. Soon she was supplying seed to all of her neighbors. At the end of our talk, she told me that one of her favorite gardens was a small bed of edelweiss at her grandmother’s house. That grandmother, who lived in a farmhouse, had tenants in her home who each had a small plot on which they could grow vegetables, but she only grew edelweiss.

Garden Memories

I was talking with my neighbor in Sag Harbor, Ellen Carney, about memories of gardens. She is from Switzerland. The first and most emphatic thing she said was, “We never planted asparagus. We only ate white asparagus and it came from France.” She was 13 and living in Zurich when the Second World War began. All the houses had window boxes with lush plantings of germaniums or begonias, and even during the war vegetables were available at the market. People also bought cut flowers at the market to put in the house. These had been grown in greenhouses specifically for the cut flower market. But some people also had home vegetable and berry gardens, usually at the front of the house, or they might have a plot in one of the Schreber Gardens in the city. Started in 1864 in Leipzig, Germany by Dr. Ernst Houschild and named for a colleague, Schreber Gardens seem to be the starting point for the idea of community gardens. Dr. Houschild wanted children living in cities, places that were bleak with the effects of the industrial revolution, to have a chance to experience nature. He leased a meadow and let school children plant flowers in small plots of land. Soon the whole family was involved and they were planting vegetables for the family table. This concept of gardening in the city soon spread to many other countries in Europe. By the time Carney was a girl, Schreber Gardens were an established part of life for many families in Zurich. A plot would be used to grow a variety of vegetables and berries and some flowers. But it also had a small building for tools and often these buildings were used as getaways on the weekend for the family. In these gardens and the ones at a residence, the plants of choice to grow were: beans, peas, lettuce, cabbage, kohlrabi, tomatoes, beets onions and snow peas. Gladioli, primulas, daffodils, blackberries, raspberries and especially strawberries were also grown there. Corn was not planted, though, as it was grown by farmers as feed for animals. Carney lived for several years in Africa as an adult in places such as Mali and Chad. Here the houses were surrounded by tall walls and it was impossible to see into the area around the house, but, she says, the women must have had a small vegetable patch because they were at the market with things to sell; very small amounts of just a few vegetables on a small piece of cloth. The vegetables were used in the making of the everyday pot of stew and were only a minor part of that stew, meat being the major ingredient. When Carney wanted to buy vegetables for herself, she often had to visit several women to buy enough for a Western-style portion. Shortly after coming to this country, Carney lived in a self-governed community in Pennsylvania called Tanguy. There she grew the vegetables for her family in a 12’ x 24’ plot. She planted in close

Catch Up on Your Kitchen History the labors of our East End grandmothers and grandfathers. The icon of the mid-19th century kitchen, a large black cast iron stove, will greet visitors at the entrance, although it would most likely have been located in the center of an early American kitchen. Do you know about the firkin, spider, jigger, cheese ladder, piggin, keeler or noggin? These unusual and bizarre-sounding tools will be artfully displayed on the walls of the Clinton Academy. The pottery in this exhibit promises to be impressive as well with a blue-green painted Greek revival corner cupboard bursting with yellow ware, antique mixing bowls and other pottery embossed with detailing of important motifs from the time. A special curator’s tour will be led by Director Richard Barons on two Saturdays, August 20 and September 17, at 10 a.m. at the Academy, which is located along the historic stretch of Main Street in East Hampton. The exhibit will be on display through Columbus Day weekend. “What’s Cooking: East Hampton Kitchens 1648-1948” celebrates the objects that helped generations of East End residents create delicious meals for their families. This creatively curated exhibit applauds the artistry and ingenuity of those who made these tools and the cooking equipment of the past. I hope to become inspired as I diligently plan my Labor Day Lobster Bake, and take inspiration from this exhibit. “What’s Cooking: East Hampton Kitchens 1648-1948.” Clinton Academy Museum, 151 Main Street, East Hampton. Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, noon-5 p.m. 631-324-6850, www. easthamptonhistory.org.

By Tamara Matthews Stephenson It just keeps getting better and better for those of us who love to cook and entertain out here on the East End. With a plethora of award-winning restaurants, local food and wine pairing festivals and “foodie” events throughout the year, the Hamptons have become known as an epicurean destination. This should come as no surprise since Long Island has been a farm community for centuries. With great vineyards and a notable fishing history, the East End is the perfect place for chefs, home cooks and food aficionados to congregate. The farm-to-table concept that is receiving much focus these days was practically created here in the Hamptons centuries ago. Let’s add yet another cooking event to our list this summer, because the gallery at the East Hampton Historical Society’s museum at Clinton Academy is debuting a “What’s Cooking: East Hampton Kitchens 1648-1948” exhibit that will showcase curious tools that our East End ancestors used to churn butter, boil porridge, shuck oysters and bake clams. The exhibit offers a walk back in time to examine the historic relevance of how our home cooks toiled. Augmented by items on loan from both private and public collections, this promises to be a fascinating exhibit. The Clinton Academy Museum will display many unusual items the cooks would have needed to survive in the past. Can you imagine that rather than reaching into your refrigerator to grab a stick of butter, you had to churn it daily? Our ancestors’ ingenuity and resourcefulness are shown in this exhibition. The history of cake pans and other related tools will put this exhibit on the map as an encyclopedia of early American cooking. There will be open hearth cooking displays as well as wood stoves and even tin ovens, all giving us a glimpse of

was the old Tony’s Luncheonette and served macro meals she cooked at home to people like Paul Simon. Sitting on her comfy wicker couch in her kitchen, Eliot explained what she believes heals people. “When you love, accept and include everything about yourself, then you are whole.” She practices yoga six days a week and teaches at the Springs Presbyterian Church. She has incorporated her love and belief of yoga and metaphor into her therapy. “People are living in pain,” she says. “The bottom is a bed of nails. You can choose to get comfortable there or scramble, fight and try to climb out, but wind up on the bed of nails anyway. You can’t skip the suffering. Try to get comfy and furnish your own bed of nails.” As far as yoga goes, “Life is a warrior pose,” says Eliot. “Figure out how to make yourself comfortable in it, noodle around until you feel it,

don’t fight it. Yoga is a metaphor for life. Holding the pose, literally.” Eliot wrote “Yoga Off the Mat” for Psychology Magazine. Yoga for her has been “a transforming experience. You have to be silently talking to yourself in your own mind. Yoga forces you to be in the now and people always want to be in the future.” Eliot was trained in Addiction and Eating Disorder Counseling as well as Psychodrama Counseling and Client Centered Therapy. She explains that this means a person need not go every week to a therapist. “You can get effective therapy based on the client’s needs – financial, time-wise, etc.… As long as you can connect with your therapist by e-mail, phone, you are getting the proverbial hug on the other end that you need. Right away.” (continued on next page)

THE HAMPTonS’ InTERIoR DESIgnER Eve Eliot

By Nanci E. LaGarenne Once upon a time, they were mostly women. Healers, midwives, botanists, alchemists and sages. Think of your grandmothers. How they knew just what to recommend for your physical healing or mental clarity. Maybe they gave you a cup of fennel tea for a tummy ache or a right-to-thepoint suggestion for your love life. Today we have broadened the scope and we can find—if we are lucky—amazing women whose job, talent, gift, whatever you prefer, is to heal. The list is too long to mention all of them that I have encountered in the last 22 years on the East End, so I will focus for now on two. Eve Eliot is a psychotherapist specializing in women’s issues, seeing clients out of her home in Springs. Eliot appears at the door of what seems like an enchanted cottage with lace-covered windows. She is a sprite – a beautiful fairy-like woman with short dark cropped hair and wise chocolate almond-shaped eyes. She pulls no punches yet knows what nurturing is all about. Born in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, she found her way out here in 1988, making herself over from a busy city copywriter to a Shiatsu practitioner, trying to make a living in East Hampton. She started cooking and counseling people about macrobiotic food and she hosted community dinners once a week in her cozy kitchen in Springs. She rented the space that

Therapy, Eliot believes, “is all about self-love and self-acceptance. People don’t know how adorable they are.” Bringing yoga back in, Eliot suggests, “at the end of the day, there needs to be a Shivasana [a yoga session’s end where one lies still in utter comfort]. People aren’t doing this, they are texting ‘til all hours, e-mailing, watching television, being stimulated constantly.” She has recorded several meditation CDs based on her teaching meditation, including meditations for “squirmy kids,” one called the “tooth fairy” for scared dental patients and one for “softening hardship.” In addition, Eliot has written several books. One, Attention Shoppers: The Woman’s Guide to Enlightenment, “helps women get in touch with who they are. Shopping does this for them; it is a lot deeper than buying clothes and stuff.” Perhaps we are the modern gatherers. Eliot is a fan of Pema Chodron, a Buddhist monk and author who says, “Lean into the sharp points.” Despite what you may think her beautiful Mexican Day of the Dead bathroom and quirky table of bride and groom cake toppers express, there is nothing jarring about Eliot. One only feels taken care of and learns how to take care of oneself when one meets her. I chatted with her for three and a half hours and I didn’t want to leave. Go see her. You will be glad you did. www.eveeliot.com, 631-324-8761. MaryAnn Fleischman is an EMDR Therapist in Cutchogue. EMDR is Eye Movement Desensitizing Reprocessing. This is a therapeutic technique that has been around for 20 years – started by Francine Shapiro in California – for dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is a treatment used when seeking an answer to sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, avoiding people and places or just “feeling stuck,” Fleischman explains. “It is very effective for a lot of issues.” Fleischman, a former social worker for 20 years, suffered trauma after she was a victim in a car accident. She had recurring dreams of “this SUV coming towards my smaller car and realized I was having symptoms of PTSD.” She discovered EMDR and went to the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, to study. As she trained, incredible memories came up for her. She had fears she could not explain, like a fear of bridges, flying and heights. Through a session of EMDR, she found it was her mother’s fears transferred to her, not her own at all. She now enjoys flying and goes over bridges with ease. “EMDR flushes it all out and gets that knapsack [of fear] off your back. We are destined to repeat and relive our fears and experiences unless we get rid of them.” Just how does it work? EMDR simulates the REM (rapid eye movement) of sleep, or the fluttering of the eyelids, when we are reprocessing the events of the day. We reprocess and move on. “If something current happens and it is overwhelming, you can, through EMDR, talk about it and let it go so it does not get repressed.” There is a two-by-four size piece of equipment called a Tap Machine and Tappers, little wires that you hold in your hands, which stimulate the right and left sides of the brain and open the memory cells. Questions are then asked: Why are you here? What are your symptoms? How are you feeling now? “You just feel better after a session, like after a walk. Or you can feel exhausted,” she adds, because you have done some work. Gotten somewhere emotionally. Released what you were carrying. “It is not a scientific session as much as a telling of your story and letting it go,” says Fleischman. Children can also be treated with EMDR. Children as young as four were treated for abuse by their parents or caregivers. EMDR “frees you,” Fleischman says. “You are not overcome, stifled anymore….” MaryAnn Fleischman practices on the North Fork and travels between the East End and NYC to treat clients. 631-734-2443.

& ART COMMENTARY by Marion W. Weiss

“What’s Out There” at Sara Nightingale Gallery

The title of Sara Nightingale’s current show might also apply to the gallery itself: “What’s Out There” refers not only to art that goes beyond the boundaries of the Internet, but also represents the venue’s search for non-mainstream works existing outside conventional sources. Thus, we can depend on this Water Mill gallery to exhibit edgy art, none of which is traditional, all of which is provocative. The present show is no exception. While most of the works are usual landscapes, the styles are anything but usual. In fact, we would call that style “Magic Realism” for want of a better label. Yet the term is an appropriate one, pieces combining just enough recognizable subjects to be realistic with surreal elements, like odd colors, settings and shapes, all of which depict a mythical world and/or one that existed before civilization. The paintings and photographs convey a theme that’s mostly about the environment’s struggle

to survive, much like Janet Culbertson’s work. Yet the magic realism subverts this struggle, suggesting that the environment has succeeded in overcoming pollution and waste. It can be a beautiful world out there. Cara Enteles’ “Power Line” series initially doesn’t communicate this message, as power Grant Haffner, Volcano Sue McNally, Tamarisk lines seem to suffocate particularly arresting, featuring primitive-looking the trees. Even so, the super-real red color and the rocks in the water. Such an image recalls McNally’s enamel medium evoke a glorious, striking setting “Pebbly Beach,” a group of rocks that jut out into that transcends the power lines. Sue McNally’s the sea. Both works convey a prehistoric time that’s “Valley Floor” also uses surreal color (in this case relevant today. purple) to depict a tree trunk. The rest of the Grant Haffner’s small paintings/drawings offer environment is isolated and dying, but there’s a a contrast with a whimsical scene of a volcano suggestion of rejuvenation, magical as it may seem. spouting fire. The artist’s emphasis on geometric McNally’s “The Last Valley” takes this idea one step designs recalls McNally’s juxtaposition of lines in further, its sky with pastel-colored circles promising her “Valley” works, although Haffner’s compositions a new dawn. There’s also a fascinating contradiction are not hard-edged. Haffner’s circus tent in here: bareness vs. fullness. another piece is equally charming, the bright colors Barry Underwood’s photographs conjure up appropriate for the subject. While such images are positive images as well using country settings more familiar to us than other works in the exhibit, complete with stunning lighting effects: from they are, nonetheless, “magical” as well. vertical sticks of illumination to balloon-like shapes to Day-Glo necklaces. (What’s especially The current exhibit will be on view until August 15 commendable is the fact that Underwood does not at Sara Nightingale Gallery, 688 Montauk Highway, employ Photoshop.) Underwood’s “Rodeo Beach” is Water Mill. 631-793-2256.

HONORING THE ARTIST by Marion W. Weiss

Gia Schifano

This week’s cover featuring a giant, luscious lobster is not typical for the artist, Gia Schifano. At least at first glance. Rather, the artist usually paints scenes of local color, settings reflecting indigenous areas. For example, there’s the pond at Conscience Point’s Wildlife Sanctuary, Cooper’s Beach, Southampton’s Agawam Pond and Liazza’s Restaurant in New Orleans. While this last image is neither local nor a landscape, it captures the time and place of a vital neighborhood spot, something that all of Schifano’s paintings do. At least as far as vibrancy and energy go. There’s also a super-realism about the lobster, particularly in its meticulous detail and bright color. Q: Where did you get the idea for the lobster, even though this is not your usual subject matter? A: I usually don’t like painting still lifes; artists do what they like. But I decided to do this. The lobster looks happy even though he will be eaten. Q: I know you like to paint the water, so the lobster is appropriate. Why are you attracted to the water in the first place? A: My parents bought a house on the water in Southampton before I was born. I spent my whole life coming out here in the summers. Q: Speaking of your life, this is a special time in that life. A: Yes, the cover is coming out on my birthday. I will be 50; it’s a great way to start my 50s. It’s the end of a decade. Q: Do you want to do anything special in your 50s? A: I love to travel, to see other artists’ work, to learn from them. I’d love to go to Italy. Q: What does being here in the Hamptons mean

to you? A: I feel peace and serenity; being here is like a sanctuary for me, no matter what town I’m in. Q: Give me an example of what you do that makes you feel this way. A: Just walking the dog, eating wild raspberries I see along the way. It’s shopping at a farm instead of at the grocery store. It’s getting away from my regular job. If I lived here year round, it might be “same old, same old.” Q: What is your regular job? A: I work as a Middle School secretary. Q: That’s really hard. A: I love my job. We have a great time everyday. It’s problem solving. Q: When do you have time to paint? A: In the summers, I take pictures and paint a few hours a day, four days a week. During the school year, I paint after dinner. I do research on the computer, maybe learning about light and shadow.

Q: How did you initially learn about art? A: I learned from other artists, from my mother’s friends, watching them do what they do. Q: Now that you will be in your 50s, what are your plans? A: I would like a space to do really big work. I love painting reflections. I love mirror images in water. I have a boat and go out on the water; I get a different perspective that way. Q: You are so busy with your job, children [Patrick and Brianna] and painting. If you had time, what would you do more of? A: Read. Sometimes fluffy things, sometimes dramatic or spiritual books. If I could be me, I would join a yoga group. I would just keep moving. The 50s will be fabulous. Gia Schifano will be in the Southampton Artists’ Association Labor Day Show. www.giapaints. blogspot.com.

Mind Your Gay Manners

By Elise Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Haene When I first saw the book Steven Petrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Complete Gay & Lesbian Manners (Workman Publishing), which was just released, my first response was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really? Do we need this?â&#x20AC;? So that was my knee-jerk reaction, emphasis on jerk. I flipped through it and realized (as a lesbian) that there are numerous situations Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve encountered

in my life that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown so used to that they hardly register as problems or as an issue of being treated with respect and decency. There have been many times when my partner and I have been checking in to a hotel and the clerk will say upon seeing us that â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a mistake, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given you one king-sized bed, do you want a room with two queens?â&#x20AC;? (We are two queens who want one king-sized bed!) All humor aside, this probably does not happen with heterosexual couples. Petrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book covers these sticky situations, which are most likely based on lack of knowledge and understanding, not necessarily a reflection of anti-gay sentiment. His book aims to enlighten, and to do so enjoyably. He comments on the ongoing same-sex marriage debate, and offers practical wit and wisdom for the sometimes awkward and at times just plain confusing social situations that straight people can find themselves in when dealing with their gay colleagues, family members, peers/friends and even strangers. Other topics include gay weddings, starting a family, workplace discrimination, sperm donation, getting through the holidays, sexual etiquette, romance and dating and navigating social media. Petrow, who has been coming to the Hamptons since childhood, will appear at BookHampton in Sag Harbor for a discussion with author Steven Gaines at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 12. On Saturday he will participate in the East Hampton Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Authors Night from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and on Monday, August 15, Petrow will be at the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton at 7 p.m. for a discussion and book signing. It would be bad manners to not show up for at least one of Petrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearances!

Country Road, Bellport, from August 21 to September 10. A reception with the artist will be held on Saturday, August 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. The photographer says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I print up to 40 x 50 inches the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old fashioned wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; using fiber based paper, tray processing and selenium toner.

Enter Laughing is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gem of a Showâ&#x20AC;?

Photo by J. Duda

By Alexandra Andreassen Enter Laughing, The Musical, showing now through September 4 at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, is screamingly funny, but also relatable in its hilarity. Set in the 1930s, the musical tells the story of hapless David Kolowitz, a young shop boy from the Bronx who dreams of being a leading man on stage while facing mounting pressures from his girlfriend, boss, best friend, acting coach and parents, all of whom are skeptical about his career plans. His parents want him to be a pharmacist, but he dreams of the theatre. Chock full of â&#x20AC;&#x153;old-school funny,â&#x20AC;? physical comedy and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jewish humor,â&#x20AC;? the show will certainly keep audiences laughing. However, audience members can relate, because everyone has a dream, and many people face outside pressures related to those dreams. Josh Grisetti (Broadway Bound), who plays the character of David, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an actor, we all went through this at some point, so we get to go back and re-live it.â&#x20AC;? At a â&#x20AC;&#x153;speed-datingâ&#x20AC;? type event in which I was able to interview the actors and director of the play, they all emphasized how wonderful the cast was and how much chemistry they had together. Director Stuart Ross (Forever Plaid, Radiant Baby) noted how much fun he has had with the play, and said how the personal nuances that each actor brought to their character makes the play what it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get to wake up and go to work and laugh for eight hours a day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great.â&#x20AC;? Ross canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the audience to experience Enter Laughing, and to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best

cast in the worldâ&#x20AC;? at work. Actor Richard Kindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhaustive list of credits includes a run at Bay Street last summer in David Mametâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Romance (Kindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third Bay Street appearance). He will have a featured role in the forthcoming HBO series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luck,â&#x20AC;? in which he plays a jockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent. Kind said in an interview that he is playing a supporting role in Enter Laughing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good role, an important role,â&#x20AC;? but the real star is Grisetti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a star-making role, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a funny actor, a great singer, so talented in every area, unbelievable.â&#x20AC;? According to Kind, the York Theater in Manhattan launched a revival of Enter Laughing that knocked

criticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; socks off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play is genius, and I mean genius at being what it is. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a huge, enormous diamond. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice diamond set off with two sapphires. Stunning perfection, a gem of a show. Charming, fun and smart. I LOVE this play.â&#x20AC;? The show has previously been produced off-Broadway and will be brought to Broadway after its stint at Bay Street. It is written by the legendary Joseph Stein (Fiddler on the Roof, Zorba), with music and lyrics by Stan Daniels (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mary Tyler Moore Show,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taxiâ&#x20AC;?). Enter Laughing is based on a semi-autobiographical novel by 12-time Emmy Award-winner Carl Reiner (Oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen). Music direction is by Phil Reno (Promises, Promises and The Drowsy Chaperone). The musical features a cast of Broadway and television favorites including Grisetti, Jill Eikenberry (â&#x20AC;&#x153;L.A. Law,â&#x20AC;? Into The Woods), Richard Kind (The Producers, â&#x20AC;?Spin Cityâ&#x20AC;?), Kate Shindle (Wonderland) and Michael Tucker (â&#x20AC;&#x153;L.A. Lawâ&#x20AC;?). Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss this fun, exciting performance that is sure to leave you laughing! Tickets for Enter Laughing, The Musical are available at the Bay Street Theatre Box Office, at 631725-9500 or www.baystreet.org. A limited number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pay What You Canâ&#x20AC;? tickets will be available for the August 9 preview date after 2 pm at the Box Office. Performances are Tuesday - Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 7 p.m. with matinees Wednesdays at 2 p.m. (8/17, 8/24, 8/31) and Saturdays at 4 p.m. (8/20, 8/27). Tickets are $65-$75.

Review: “Sunset Boulevard”

Photo by Jeff Bellante

By Roy Bradbrook Sometimes, whether it is an opera performance, a concert, a ballet or a musical, something happens that makes the total experience far exceed the sum of its parts. When this happens it is extremely magical, and this happened for me during one of the first performances of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s blockbuster musical Sunset Boulevard at the Gateway Playhouse. Let me hasten to say that the individual parts themselves are formidable. Loni Ackerman is used to playing big roles, having starred as Eva Perón on Broadway, and here she captivates and enthralls the audience with her measured and nuanced performance as Norma Desmond, a faded superstar of the long-gone silent movie age who reclusively and forlornly waits for a call from the great DeMille to tell her to return to her “adoring fans.” Norma meets penurious screenwriter Joe Gillis and sees in him her last chance for making her delusions about scripting a major film called Salome come true. Joe is played by Robert J. Townsend and he could easily have been swamped by the fiery, tempestuous bravura of Loni Ackerman but his physical presence and great acting—coupled with a voice that makes you want to listen to him perform solo for an evening—makes this a duo to savor. One of the key moments of the show is when Norma and Joe first meet and she sings about what a silent movie star could do to her audience “With One Look.” From that moment on you could feel the electricity in the theater and the show just got better and better. Again, this show is a total triumph of casting. Joel Robertson as Max, Norma’s one-time film director,

Loni Ackerman as Norma Desmond

devoted ex-husband and now butler/aide/chauffeur, exudes a protective menace and has a great baritone voice. Gail Bennett as Betty Schaefer, who falls in love with Joe while collaborating with him on a film script, shares several poignant numbers with him, especially in “This Time Next Year.” All the members of the cast have great vitality and energy and the choreography by Larry Raben, who also directs the show, adds so much to the whole production. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music for the show ranges from big production numbers, such as the grooming of Joe in “The Lady’s Paying” and the toe tapping “New Year Tango,” to romantic ballads like “Too Much in Love to Care.” Don Black’s and Christopher Hampton’s book and lyrics are pointed and well worth listening to. With most of the dialogue sung

as a recitative rather than spoken in prose sentences, there is an additional demand on the actors. Incidentally, what a wonderful pleasure to be able to hear and understand every word the whole cast sang, something not often experienced with many recent Broadway shows! The orchestra, directed by Jeffrey Buchsbaum, had great rhythm and adjusted extremely well to the various styles, and play a major part in the success of the production. The sets designed by Todd Ivans are elaborate and the Trevor Bowendesigned costumes (especially those worn by Norma) were evocative of the age and the contrast between the workaday world of Hollywood and that of the stars. Robert J. Ackerman’s role as Joe has him on stage for the majority of the show, rendering it an extremely demanding one that he plays to perfection. But the evening is really a triumph for Loni Ackerman. Throughout the show she brings Norma, a sad, semi-delusional character, to life. You can’t help but be moved by this portrayal of a star whose brilliance has faded, an individual whom time has treated badly. The whole evening was magical and the show deserves to sell out for the entirety of the run, which ends on August 20. In my nearly twenty years of watching Gateway productions and many more years enjoying London and Broadway shows, this Gateway evening will always remain as one of the high points of all of those evenings, when I enjoyed that special thrill that can only come from being part of a live performance by great artists when everything clicks and synergy becomes reality.

Second Annual Southampton Arts Festival From storied Tanglewood in Massachusetts to lofty Aspen in Colorado, the summer programs that bring together esteemed concert performers and talented music students for classes and concerts are a fixture of resort communities, and in the sunny Hamptons we have our share. There’s Pianofest at Avram Theater in Southampton, the Perlman Music Program on Shelter Island and now the Southampton Arts Festival, in its second year at the Southampton Cultural Center. These festivals combine the polished performances of master musicians with the thrill of seeing young talent grow and flourish, without the high-ticket prices of the city, and with the added advantage of being right around the corner. The Southampton Arts Festival, with events running from August 18 through August 27, is

the creation of violinist Dmitri Berlinsky, winner of numerous international competitions, and pianist Elena Baksht, heralded performer and teacher. The Festival’s concerts, which take place at the Southampton Cultural Center Levitas Center for the Arts (25 Pond Lane in Southampton), feature young performers from music programs across the country, including students from the New England Conservatory, the Manhattan School of Music and the Cleveland Institute. In addition, the esteemed faculty, including Berlinsky and Baksht and members of the New York Philharmonic, the Cincinnati Symphony and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, will present concerts with music by Brahms, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Franck. For the more musically and artistically adventurous, on August 25 the Festival is presenting MusicScapes,

The more avid concertgoers might have the privilege of seeing a young player improve before their very eyes. Who knows – maybe the next Hahn-Bin is waiting to happen in Southampton! During the summer months, the Hamptons feature a wide variety of musical offerings in the classical vein, from casual concerts at vineyards to formal events with internationally acclaimed soloists. Often, though, these concerts take place in venues such as churches, community centers or outdoor settings, which are not really designed as concert spaces. As a result, brilliant performances can end up being compromised by poor acoustics, uncomfortable seating or even bad lighting. The Southampton Cultural Center Levitas Center is one of the only venues on the East End that is intended to be used as a concert hall, and it is a fine, comfortable yet intimate space for hearing chamber music. I for one am very excited that it now has its very own summer music festival!

& These high-quality tomatoes found at farm stands and farmers markets are the ones I would select for summer salad preparations. Shakshouka is a delectable Israeli sauté of tomatoes, onions, sweet peppers and seasonings with eggs poached directly in the colorful mixture. The dish makes a light and simple summer supper with some good crusty bread.

SIMPLE ART OF COOKING by Silvia Lehrer

Only in mid- to late summer can most of us buy tomatoes that approximate the ideal state of this prized fruit. Naturally ripened and locally grown is the key to the tomato’s characteristic sweetness, aroma and high nutrition. A variety of heirloom tomatoes for salads, flavorful plum tomatoes for sauces and tiny little cherry red or yellow pear tomatoes – so sweet they make great nibblers as appetizers – grow well in our area. We can enjoy tomatoes in their natural state, just cored and sliced crosswise with a sprinkle of sea salt, red wine vinegar and a fine olive oil. Ribbons of fresh basil and overlapping slices of fresh Buffalo milk mozzarella add to their glories. The tomatoes I refer to are rarely seen or available at supermarkets. We are having a local tomato bonanza as tomatoes like hot and dry conditions for optimal growth. Heirlooms are varied in color and shape, and are just about the best tasting tomatoes ever in their raw state. You will come across names like Black Krim, Green Zebra and Red Brandywine.

MARINATED CHERRY TOMATO AND PARSLEY SALAD Crunchy, juicy and delicious! Serves 4-6 1 pint yellow and red cherry or grape tomatoes 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and sliced thin 4 scallions, trimmed and sliced thin 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 2 1/2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1. Rinse cherry tomatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Slice in half lengthwise and put into a bowl. 2. Peel the cucumber, then halve lengthwise. Scrape and discard seeds, then cut into thin slices. Discard any bruised outer scallion layers, rinse and pat dry, cut white and light green parts into thin slices. Add sliced cucumber, scallions and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add vinegar and oil and gently toss to mix. Can be prepared ahead, refrigerated for several hours or overnight. Serve at room temperature. (continued on page 102)
