Sand In My Shoes // Denis Hamill 10 weeks of spring and summer, until the fall again separated his son from him like the trees would lose their leaves. But Ryan would save the melancholy for the season of shorter days and yellow lawns and a silent kid’s room.
Best College Lesson: No Place Like Home Ryan’s son was coming home from college.
And so, as Ryan mowed his green grass and the May sun shone from a blue Delft sky, he watched two squirrels playing tag like he used to with his son Rory on the way home from pre-school. He steered the Black and Decker away from the daffodils, dandelions, and wild sunflowers and then shut off the loud motor to listen to an acapella doo wop group of birds belting out solos and harmonies from a tall leafy red maple.
He gazed up at the happy feathered family on the high, safe branches near a sturdy winter nest. Ryan smiled.
His own nest would no longer be empty by nightfall, and for the next
Ryan danced through the rest of the lawn singing “School’s Out for Summer,” that was a hit when he was in college.
The mailman smiled at Ryan, stuffed envelopes into the mailbox, and said, “I remember that one,” and strolled on in a pair of shorts.
And then Ryan parked the mower, jumped into his beat-up old jalopy, steering northwest into the verdant hill-crumpled vistas of upstate New York to pick up his son from his sprawling campus nestled on the banks of the sparkling Hudson where Rory was taking his last final exam of his freshman year.
Ryan realized that after 15 years of precious father/son time driving Rory to and from three schoolhouses, this would be the very last time he would pick up his son from school. Rory’s college did not allow dorm freshmen to have cars. But this summer, Rory intended to get his driver’s license, vote in his first election primary, work a full-time summer construction job, save for a used car, and then room with three other school pals in an off-campus pad in his sophomore year.
Ryan’s radio remained mute on the long trek, cherishing the soundtrack of memories. He thought of the day last summer he and Rory spent BNB makes financing your home fast and simple – because we’re more than lenders, we’re your neighbors.

together in Bridgehampton, visiting the School Street boyhood home and Cooks Lane potato farm of Carl “Yaz” Yastrzemski, visiting a fascinating Bridgehampton Museum exhibit of the great Red Sox slugger. They ate lunch at an Italian place in town, and Rory talked nervously about leaving home for the first time on his own. Going away to school was his son’s decision, and although Ryan dreaded the idea, he was happy that the kid had made the adult decision to leave the nest. “I don’t wanna go, Dad,” he’d said. “But I feel like I have to, because I’ll always regret it if I don’t.”
Ryan’s mother, who’d crossed the Atlantic from Ireland at 18, had given all her seven kids the same advice in life: “Travel and take chances while you’re young.” All of her American born kids heeded and benefited from that sage advice.
Still, the night before Rory left for school was a mournful time. The morning ride up to drop him off at college was filled with goofy jokes to keep from weeping, long silences, and reassuring glances. The goodbye was brief, and heart aching. On the ride home, Ryan kept glancing at the empty seat beside him.
In those eight months away at school, Rory came home for holidays, long weekends, and spring break. Ryan noticed his son grow more confident, world wise, independent in word and deed. He had become, well, smarter.
Planning to be a political science major, Rory would initiate long informative conversations on the policies of FDR, the poisonous effect of politicians from both sides of the aisle accepting corporate money, especially from special interest groups of Big Pharma, energy, and banking. He’d share YouTube lectures by Noam Chomsky and discuss with informed opinions the current state of affairs in Washington, D.C. and the nation. But he was still a kid.
Still a teenager who loved shooting
hoops with childhood pals, texting and Snapchatting with girls, bingewatching “Friends’ and “Two and a Half Men” reruns on rainy days, and raving about the latest Star Wars, caped crusader, or horror movie. Beautiful.
Few college kids realize it, but in that parenthesis of time between childhood and adulthood when you are carefree, single, and stoned on dreams would often be the best days of their lives. Until they had kids of their own.
When Ryan arrived at the campus parking lot Rory and his dorm mates — who would be his padmates next semester — lugged down bags of dirty clothes, comforters, a TV, desk lamp, computer, microwave, books, toiletries, and assorted junk and piled them into Ryan’s SUV. Then Ryan drove south with his son. “How you doing?” Ryan asked.
“Tired,” Rory said. “Writing papers and studying late all week for finals.” “How do you think you did?” “Very well.”
“Proud of you.”
“Thanks, Dad. And thanks for picking me up.”
Ryan didn’t mention that this was probably the last time he’d ever pick his son up from school. “Any regrets about going away to school?” Ryan asked.
“No. I learned a lot. Had some great teachers. One who was amazing. Learned a lot about myself, too. No regrets. Thanks for giving me this opportunity, Dad.” “Sounds like it was worth every penny.”
Then Ryan listened to his son say the words that have guided courageous explorers, astronauts in peril, war-weary soldiers and seasick sailors, and great characters of fiction from Homer’s Odyssey to Steven Spielberg’s ET. “But I can’t wait to get home . . .”
Obituary
Tom Wolfe, 88
Collections of Wolfe’s articles, which became books, include The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (1965). Subsequent tomes include The Right Stuff (1979), about the early years of the American space program, and From Bauhaus to Our House (1981), his criticism of modern architecture. His satires, such as The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987), continued his social commentary in fictional form.
Tom Wolfe by Yousuf Karsh.
Tom Wolfe, who had a home in Southampton, died on May 14, at the age of 88, in New York City.
The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery recognizes the life of acclaimed journalist and author Tom Wolfe with a photograph by Yousuf Karsh. The portrait was installed this morning in the museum’s In Memoriam space on the first floor, and it will remain on display through June 3. Born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1930, Wolfe earned a doctorate in American studies from Yale University before embarking on a career as a journalist and social chronicler. Writing for Esquire, Harper’s, and other magazines, he crafted innovative pieces that focused on a wide range of topics, including stock-car racing and sports figures.
In the 1960s and ’70s, Wolfe gained a reputation for his fresh writing style and his contributions to what he termed “New Journalism,” an experimental genre of nonfiction literature.

In Karsh’s image, the ever-dapper Wolfe sports his trademark white suit. As a non-conformist, he felt it was “much more effective to arrive at any situation as a man from Mars than to try to fit in.” This photograph of Wolfe was taken in 1990 and is part of the more than 100 portraits by Karsh in the National Portrait Gallery’s collection. In 2014, the
Portrait Gallery presented “Yousuf Karsh: American Portraits,” the museum’s first solo exhibition of the internationally renowned photographer.
A traveling version of that exhibition is currently on display at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta through May 20, the first stop of a four-city tour.

Independent/Richard Lewin Nearly 200 people gathered at LTV in Wainscott May 17 for a public hearing about the Deepwater Wind project hosted jointly by the East Hampton Town Board and the town trustees. Fifty-two speakers each had three minutes to express their views about landing the cable on Beach Lane in Wainscott. (Above, right) Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc and Jim Grimes, an East Hampton Town Trustee.
Deepwater In Too Deep? By Rick Murphy
It looked so good at first blush. It checked all the hot boxes — Green. Alternate Energy. Zero carbon footprint.
We would end our dependence on fossil fuel, the developers promised.
But when folks in East Hampton started taking a closer look at a proposed Deepwater Wind project off the coast of Montauk, the negatives began outweighing the positives for a lot of people who felt they would be adversely affected, especially those in the fishing community. When the word spread that Deepwater Wind had hidden the true cost of the electricity it
was going to produce for local ratepayers, and that it could end up being much more expensive than that of conventional electricity, there seemed to be a seismic shift in public opinion. At least if the crowd that gathered in East Hampton on May 17 was any indication.
Deepwater would generate electricity from its 15 wind turbines, and PSEG/LIPA would purchase all of it for 20 years — but unlike in other states, the parties involved here have steadfastly refused to pin down a price. The wording in the contract is ominous, however: the cost will go up every year. During a public hearing before the
East Hampton Town Board and the East Hampton Town Trustees — a rarity — the majority of those who spoke at a packed house in the LTV studio urged town officials not to allow Deepwater to bring its cable ashore on Beach Lane in Wainscott. Many felt the project, though meritorious in concept, was wrong for the town and rallied against other proposed landing spots as well. The erosion of support occurred gradually. During the election, the victorious Democratic candidates favored the development of the wind farm though the Republican challengers didn’t. But recreational and commercial fishermen, some armed with data from wind farms in Europe, reported that the wind turbines are detrimental to fish and fatal to migratory birds.
That’s not to say Deepwater did not have some supporters at the public hearing, though company officials did not attend. For example, Roger Clayman said the project “would create union jobs.”
Bill Chaleff lamented that the “community is viciously polarized” and said he was “distressed so many are standing on the other side.” The meeting moved along smoothly until East Hampton Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc, who moderated the evening, called Gordian Raacke to the podium. 10
Raacke is Executive Director of Renewable Energy Long Island. Rick Drew, deputy clerk of the trustees, strongly objected. “He is a paid advocate. He is paid by LIPA. He’s paid by Deepwater.” Several others agreed, but Van Scoyoc opted to let Raacke speak.
“I’m disappointed in you, Rick,” he said. The supervisor then asked, “Are we going to deny anyone their First Amendment right to free speech?”
Raacke took the podium. He disputed other speakers who stated the energy generated by Deepwater would be sold at premium prices to the East End. “We have enough data to know what it will do to our electric rates,” he said.
Myles Berkman complained the Deepwater proposal was “bare bones” and urged the boards to order an environmental impact study for the Beach Lane beach. Claudia Diaz warned, “There is no holding the utilities back. The town board is beholden to utilities.” Deepwater, she said, “is ruled by hedge funds.” “I hate fossil fuels. I love wind and alternate energy,” said Ira Barocas, a former town trustees candidate. “But this is not the right project and this is not the right time.” Several fishermen spoke about the dangers to the fisheries. “We don’t

Choices and Consequences has been expanded to combat the opioid epidemic — in Suffolk — to educate participants about the dangers of substance use and abuse, and will include a screening of a public service announcement, entitled “Hey, Charlie.” The PSA tells the story of a young man from childhood through young adulthood, when his life, due to his drug use, spirals out of control until his fatal overdose. It ends with a note of encouragement for those struggling with substance abuse to seek treatment.
SCDA Tim Sini’s office has set its sights on the opioid epidemic, as well as drunk and distracted driving.

Tackling Drugged, Distracted Driving By Peggy Spellman Hoey
Suffolk County’s assistant district attorneys and investigators from the Vehicular Crimes Bureau will soon find themselves in different roles on the prevention side of the law, educating teens on the dangers of impaired and reckless driving. District Attorney Tim Sini used
prom season as a springboard last week to announce an outreach program — Choices and Consequences — with aims to educate high school students and their parents on the abovementioned dangers.
The program is based on a presentation created in the Kings
County District Attorney’s Office and later adopted by the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office. It outlines facts and statistics on impaired and reckless driving, features interactive skits showing how police officers respond to crash scenes and detect impairment, and demonstrates the impacts of alcohol
That video segment portion of the program is part of a partnership with the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, which, along with the Christopher D. Smithers Foundation, released the PSA. “Whether it’s texting and driving, drinking, or doing drugs and driving, these decisions can be fatal. The ‘Choices and Consequences’ program drives that message home to teens and their parents by using real-life examples that unfortunately have changed lives forever, have taken lives from us prematurely, and have devastated victims’ families and friends here in Suffolk County,” Sini said.
LICADD Executive Director Steve Chassman said the organization is proud to partner with Sini’s office as it takes the lead in making sure that the life-saving education is provided to every student and every parent in the county.

“It’s so important when dealing with a disease that is potentially preventable to get this message out in every Long Island school. This is how we are going to turn the corner on this epidemic,” Chassman added. In a previous address last month before the public at a forum organized by the Southampton Town Opioid Addiction Task Force, Sini announced a different approach to opioid abuse cases, including new programs aimed at prevention and reducing recidivism.

State to Sue Pharmaceutical Company By Justin Meinken
New York State is suing Purdue Pharma for its alleged role in the opioid epidemic that has expanded across the country.
Acting Attorney General Barbara Underwood is readying litigation against the opioid manufacturer, charging it profited off victims of opioid addiction. Purdue Pharma is now being sued by a total of seven states, including Nevada, Texas, Florida, North Dakota, Tennessee, North Carolina, and now New York.
Purdue denies these allegations and plans to do so publicly in court.
Governor Andrew Cuomo formed a bipartisan coalition of attorney generals to launch a nationwide investigation into major opioid manufacturers and distributors. Since the coalition’s formation in September 2017, it has enacted new regulations which have allowed for the advancements of partnerships in New York’s Prescription Monitoring Program across the country, the training of investigators with the New
York State Department of Health’s Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, which allows them to carry and administer naloxone, and granted hospitals the ability to provide detoxification services without a separate certification from the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services. In addition to these efforts, the Prescription Monitoring Program is now utilized in 25 states and Washington, D.C. This means that a participating patient’s information

This feature is anticipated to be the most beneficial in the Tri-State area because of its large commuter population. The program is designed to ease providers’ detection and prevention of doctor shopping, in which a patient visits multiple physicians to obtain multiple prescriptions for otherwise illegal drugs or a preferred medical opinion. Since the induction of the I-STOP legislation, which requires practitioners to check the monitoring program before prescribing controlled substances, New York has reduced the number of doctor shopping incidents by more than 98 percent. Suffolk County is in the middle of a lawsuit, along with other municipalities, against Purdue Pharma and other makers of opioids like OxyContin and Oxycodone, to regain costs associated with opioid addiction.

Town officials are working on a new license agreement with the company, which operates the Blade app, an Uber-like mobile application that arranges helicopter and seaplane flights, now that it has received certification as a 380 public charter, Town Attorney Michael Sendleski said on May 17.
The town revoked Fly Blade’s airport license agreement last month and requested the federal government conduct a review of the company’s practices over concerns it was using the airport improperly. The certification, which was applied for on May 3 and granted two days later, “covers the misuse,” Sendleski said. The company was due to clear out of the airport by May 19, Sendleski said. Along with the license revocation, the town board authorized Sendleski to file a complaint with the United States Department of Transportation’s Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings, seeking a review of Fly Blade’s
according to a letter emailed by the company to its customers.
practices and its consistency with federal regulations. The office regulates air transportation services and how they operate.
Fly Blade has previously violated federal law by engaging in air transportation as a direct and indirect air carrier without economic authority from the DOT and paid a fine of $40,000 as part of a signed consent order, according to the town.
Sendleski said the town has not yet received a response to its complaint. Sag Harbor attorney Edward Burke Jr., who is representing the company, did not respond to requests for comment for this story. In a previous statement, Burke noted the company arranged helicopter and seaplane flights to multiple destinations in the northeast in full compliance with DOT regulations.
He stated the company had requested a meeting with town representatives to allow it to provide an understanding on how the company arranges flights within federal guidelines. In other news, Fly Blade recently began arranging flights for Sound Aircraft Flight Enterprises,
In a recent letter to customers, Sound’s former partner, Shoreline Aviation Seaplane Services owner John Kelly, stated his company parted ways with Sound after it opted for the Blade app to handle its bookings. The letter states that

shallower . . . For Beach Lane, Deepwater Wind has committed to a different installation method that will achieve a depth of 30 feet.” Technical specifications provided by Deepwater indicate considerable activity in the dredging area, activity that Brady said will be disruptive to fish. It won’t be pretty, especially for the pristine beach area. There will be a work barge required if a cofferdam is indeed installed, and there will be a crane on it. The barge will measure 100 by 200 feet. There will also be a work trailer onshore during the drilling process.
Wainscott residents do not want their ocean beach disrupted by Deepwater Wind.
The workstation near the parking lot will become ground zero for the cable installation.

The battle For Beach Lane By Rick Murphy
A proposal to build a wind farm off the coast of Montauk faces significant opposition. (See Story on page 10).
But whether Deepwater Wind, the parent company of the project known as the South Fork Wind Farm brings a cable carrying electricity ashore somewhere in East Hampton Town or not, one thing is certain: Deepwater faces one hell of a fight if it persists on targeting Beach Lane in Wainscott, its preferred landing site.
There is significant opposition among not only Wainscott residents, but also townsfolk in general. The ocean beach at the end of the road is one of the most pristine, and cherished, in the entire town. At best, Deepwater’s drilling plans will cause a two-year disruption in the quality of life in the surrounding area. At worst, it will cause permanent damage to the local fisheries and might require periodic repairs that will be 16
disruptive and noisy.
The Deepwater plan calls for a cable to be run from the 15 wind generators some 36 miles offshore to a site about 2000 feet offshore. Deepwater said it will drill a hole and run a conduit about 10 feet underground that will surface beyond the beach and its parking lot to a “temporary” workstation that will be there for two years.
From there, the cable will be buried underground, piece by piece, until it reaches a PSEG substation off Buell Lane. Clint Plummer, Deepwater Wind’s vice president, has repeatedly said the company will make the process as painless as possible for area residents and that once installed, the system will be completely benign. Not true, said Bonnie Brady, executive director of the Long Island Commercial Fishing Association. She said the offshore area where the drilling will take place is an essential fish habitat.
“It’s the winter flounder’s spawning ground. And since Deepwater hasn’t conducted sufficient studies, we don’t know the dangers until we go through the process,” Brady said. “This is not a small, little thing,” as Deepwater implies, Brady charged. “It’s a big deal. They use pile drivers to install a cofferdam. On Block Island (another Deepwater wind farm), a cable became unearthed and they had to do it all over again.” A Problem In a document dated April 18 and submitted to the East Hampton Town Trustees, Deepwater acknowledged the problem with the Block Island cable, but said it was confident it would not happen in Wainscott. “The burial depth issues reported at Block Island were the result of an installation method that is different than that planned for Beach Lane,” Deepwater assured. “At Block Island, the (Horizontal Direct Drill) was much shorter and much
Si Kinsella, who lives nearby, has mobilized Wainscott residents who oppose the project. Kinsella said documents provided by Deepwater are filled with doubletalk. For example, Plummer said there would be one lane of traffic open during the time the cable is being laid.
“The contract permits Deepwater Wind significant latitude to ‘temporarily’ close vehicular access to Wainscott roads (incl. Beach Lane) . . . If the Town and the Trustees agree to this contract, it is likely that residents living on Beach Lane will have restricted and hindered access to their homes,” noted Kinsella. In addition, there may be times when Deepwater can prevent through traffic altogether, Kinsella surmised. “The contract requires that Deepwater Wind use, and will cause its contractors to use, commercially reasonable efforts to maintain at least one travel lane of traffic,” Kinsella said.
“The use of the phrase ‘commercially reasonable’ gives cause for concern. If a subcontractor believes it is too expensive to keep Beach Lane open, for example, can the subcontractor simply close Beach Lane (or any road) to save a

Clean Water Coming To Wainscott By Rick Murphy
Wainscott was seldom in the news until recently, and residents likely wish that were still the case. In the southernmost part of the sleepy hamlet, Deepwater Wind wants to bring a cable ashore onto Beach Lane, an ocean beach treasured by residents for decades. (See Story on page 10.)
And almost every resident south of East Hampton Airport has tainted drinking water or is in danger of getting it.
East Hampton Town, under the urging of Jeffrey Bragman, the newest town board member, decided on May 15 to be more aggressive dealing with the tainted wells. The fact that residents have filed a class action suit against the town likely figured into the equation as well. The residents are demanding the town furnish water and will seek damages should any medical conditions emerge. The town board allocated $400,000 in emergency funding to be
distributed to residents who want to install water filters. In a broader action, the board also announced its intention of forming a water district that will bring Suffolk County Water Authority drinking water into every home in the hamlet. The official Environmental Protection Agency health advisory level for the chemicals, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), is 90 parts per trillion. But there is evidence mounting that exposure to considerably less can be harmful. So far, about two-thirds of the wells tested have shown traces, and a handful are over the advisory level threshold.
PFOA and PFOS were widely used by companies like 3M and DuPont beginning in the late 1940s. Both companies have faced lawsuits because of the health damages caused by the chemicals. DuPont knew “PFOA caused cancerous testicular, pancreatic, and liver tumors in lab animals” back in 1993, if not before, according to the New
York Times.
Homeowners that hook up to water will eventually have to pay back the money over a 20-year period. The approximately $24 million cost of SCWA will be paid for by those who sign up to install it, town taxpayers as a whole, and with grant money. The town also hopes it will be allowed to tap into Community Preservation Funds, and has asked Assemblyman Fred Thiele to see if it is an allowable CPF use. There is considerable sentiment in Wainscott that the town should absorb the entire cost because it is believed by some that East Hampton Airport, owned by the town, is the root of the contamination.
Toward that end, the town is putting out the word that the wells could have been contaminated by firefighters using the firefighting foam while going through drills on nearby parcels. The chemicals are also widely used in fire suppressant products to put
out airplane engine fires and in aviation hydraulic fluids.
In addition, these chemicals are used for industrial purposes in photo imaging, metal plating, semiconductor coatings, aviation hydraulic fluids, medical devices, for insect bait, printer and copy machine parts, chemically-driven oil production, rubber, and plastic industries.
Shaw Aero Devices, located at 6 Industrial Road until 1993, may have also used products containing or manufactured with PFCs, particularly ethyl acetate, according to filings with the US Patent Office. Some of the products Shaw was developing used the chemical in the production process.
Ironically the SCWA is targeting a drilling project site that is situated on the west side of Stephen Hands Path, 455 feet north of the Long Island Rail Road train tracks in Wainscott and recently filed a “Neg Dec,” indicating there are no adverse effects to the environment anticipated.

Feds: Real Estate Scam Nets Millions By T. E. McMorrow
A North Haven man, Brent Borland, 48, has put the equity in his 43 North Haven Way residence up to secure a $2 million bond after being charged by the U.S. government with fraudulently raising, from about 40 investors, almost $22 million for a resort and airport in Belize.
“Borland promised investors high rates of return on their investments,” the criminal complaint reads. Of the nearly $22 million raised, “at least approximately $7,544,814 was diverted and spent in the United States on expenditures that had nothing to do with constructing the airport,” the complaint says.
Borland and his wife, Alana LaTorra Borland, surrendered their passports to U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses in the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in lower Manhattan last Wednesday. Borland was arrested at 6:40 that morning. Judge Moses ordered that Borland

not travel outside of New York City and Long Island.
Diana Chau, a U.S. Postal Inspector, said in the criminal complaint that “all known investors in the scheme lost money.” The court files on the case include a colorful brochure Borland distributed to his alleged victims. Titled “The Placencia Group,” the brochure promises “an exclusive five-star resort experience” for its customers after completion. It describes a series of projects needed for completion of the plan, which would benefit its investors.
Included in the brochure is a color photograph purporting to be “Tiger Woods in his 180 Foot Mega Yacht at Placencia Marina.”
Borland was charged with three felonies — conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud, securities fraud, and wire fraud. He is also being sued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in an attempt to recover funds for those the government say he defrauded. Alana LaTorra Borland is named in that suit as a relief defendant; that is, somebody who benefitted from the illegal actions of another, and therefore is financially liable. One of the victims was Louis Cushman, a noted realtor and former chairman of Cushman & Wakefield. In a civil suit against Borland launched in March 2017, Cushman’s attorney, Gerry Silver of Sullivan & Worcester, writes “Cushman relied on Borland’s statements and as a result invested $1 million. However, Cushman has recently learned that Borland’s statements are false.”
PARADISE IS YOURS
Silver continued, “The Placencia Airport is not, and never was, on track to be completed by the
He also wrote, “Further, an inspection has revealed that the specifications and foundation of the Placencia International Airport are not sufficient to bear the weight of international jet planes.”
Borland settled out of court with Cushman in August 2017. However, according to the criminal complaint against Borland, after making a $400,000 payment back to Cushman, none of the remaining $600,000 has been paid.
Other victims who have filed civil suits against Borland include Carl Willem De Geer, a citizen and resident of Sweden, Dear Invest AB, a Swedish investment company, and Cathay Wynand Limited, a company registered in Hong Kong. The complaint details lavish spending of investors’ money, charging, for example, that Borland used “at least $1.75 million in mortgage payments on Borland’s home in Florida, $97,000 in property taxes on the same home,” a $25,000 payment on a Mercedes Benz G63, and $183,000 in cash withdrawals. “In addition, approximately $2.67 million was disbursed to American Express to pay for credit card bills in the name of Borland’s wife.” On top of that, more than $31,000 went to Bloomingdale’s, $36,000

Passed Out, Facing Charges By T. E. McMorrow
East Hampton Town Police made three arrests this past week on drunk driving charges. All were charged at the misdemeanor level.
Jose Verdugo-Avila, 39, of Springs, was found behind the wheel of a 1996 Ford pickup on the shoulder of Springs Fireplace Road, passed out, engine running, police said, a little before 7 AM on May 17.
At headquarters, his breath test came back with a .178 reading. Police always round the number down for the official figure supplied to the court. With a reading of .17, Verdugo-Avila just missed the .18 mark that would have raised the charge to the aggravated level. “I had five or seven Coronas,” he had reportedly told police. Because of the time of the arrest, he was not taken to be arraigned until that afternoon.
Placed under arrest on a driving while intoxicated charge, as well as a charge of unlicensed driving, he was taken to headquarters, where a breath test produced a reading of .18 of one percent, well over the .08 reading that defines intoxication, and high enough to raise the misdemeanor charge to the aggravated level. He was arraigned later that morning in front of Justice Tekulsky. Scafuro told the court
that he is staying in Montauk for the second summer season in a row to work, and that the East Wareham, MA address on his expired driver’s license is his winter address. Justice Tekulsky told him that, as of that moment, his privilege to drive in New York State was suspended. Bail of $500 was posted. Jonathan Llivicota was driving a 2006 Jeep on Springs Fireplace
Road early Saturday morning when he was pulled over near Cedar Ridge Drive for swerving across lane lines, according to the police. “I had like a beer or two,” he reportedly told them. The 25-yearold carpenter is an East Hampton resident. At headquarters, his breath test produced a .16 reading, the police said. He was released on $300 bail after being arraigned later that morning.

“Despite the fact that you have no license to begin with, you continue to drive,” East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky told Verdugo-Avila. He said that Verdugo-Avila had been convicted less than a year ago on an unlicensed driving charge in Westhampton Beach.
For Over
60 Years
After he suspended Verdugo-Avila’s “non-existent driving privileges,” Justice Tekulsky warned, “Your days of driving without a license are over.” He subsequently warned him that if he were arrested again on another unlicensed driving charge and convicted, he would face jailtime. Verdugo-Avila posted $500 bail.
Michael Scafuro was driving a 2007 Jeep home from his job as a bartender in the dock area of Montauk, headed south on West Lake Drive, when he was pulled over early morning Friday. Police said his license plate lights were out, and that he was driving with an obstructed view of the road.
Suspecting that he was intoxicated, the officer had Scafuro, 31, perform roadside sobriety tests, which he allegedly failed. “I had two beers at work, and two glasses of wine at my house,” he reportedly told the officer.

polICe Letters from the department to the Tribeca address Patel had on file with the court were returned as “undeliverable.” Patel’s phone number was disconnected.
According to the letters from the probation department on file at East Hampton Town Justice Court, Patel then contacted Burke, telling him that his father was ill, and that he needed to fly to London. Patel’s court case was adjourned again, and a new date was set up with probation for the interview.
the manager of american Beech in greenport was jailed last thursday after eluding the suffolk County probation department for several months.
Unbeknownst to Burke, however, Patel was lying to him, the probation department said in a letter dated May 9. “Patel is not and has not been in London, but is, in fact, working as general manager of the American Beech Restaurant located at 300 Main Street in Greenport.”

greenport Man Draws go to JaIl CarD By T. E. McMorrow
The manager of a trendy Greenport restaurant was ordered remanded to county jail last Thursday by East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky. Jignesh Patel, 39, will remain there until at least May 31, when he is to be brought back to East Hampton by Suffolk County deputy sheriffs. He is not eligible for bail. Before remanding Patel, Justice Tekulsky had some sharp words for him, telling him that he had lied to
his own attorney, to the probation department, and to the court.
Patel’s path to jail began on Springy Banks Road May 7 of last year, when, according to East Hampton Town Police, he was driving a 1987 BMW at 45 miles per hour where the speed limit is 30. An officer followed him as he turned onto Alewive Brook Road and pulled into a driveway. He failed sobriety tests, police said. He told police that he was coming from a wine tasting. When police

searched his car, they allegedly found a small vial of cocaine. “I don’t know how that got there,” he is quoted as telling the arresting officer. He was charged with misdemeanor counts of drug possession and driving while intoxicated, along with several moving violations.
Patel retained a highly regarded local attorney, Edward Burke Jr. Over the course of several court appearances last summer, Burke negotiated a plea bargain deal. In return for pleading guilty to a misdemeanor DWI charge, most of the other charges would be dropped. Before that could happen, however, the court ordered a pre-plea investigation of Patel be done by the probation department to determine what a proper sentence would be. At that point, the probation department tried to set up an appointment with Patel for an interview. And tried and tried. “We have not been successful in interviewing this defendant despite repeated attempts, at least five appointments, and by contacting his attorney,” the probation department wrote Justice Tekulsky on March 12.
The letter continues, “Mr. Patel has been completely dishonest with providing his address, phone number, and employment status to probation and to the court for the past five months.” The probation department said in that letter that the owners of American Beech had been completely cooperative with them and did not accuse them of any wrongdoing.
Probation asked Justice Tekulsky in the May 9 letter that, if Patel were to show up for his next court date on May 17, that he be remanded so that they could finally conduct the courtordered interview. If he was a noshow, the letter asked that a warrant for his arrest be issued by the court.
Patel’s name was called Thursday by Justice Tekulsky, just as during his previous court appearances. Patel was in the courtroom. He stood next to Burke, as he had previously. This time, however, a court officer stepped directly behind him. Justice Tekulsky ordered Patel’s remand, and the officer snapped handcuffs onto Patel’s wrists. He was taken from the courthouse to East Hampton Town police headquarters, where he was picked up by Suffolk County deputy sheriffs. If the probation department of Suffolk County doesn’t interview Patel between now and May 31, it won’t be because they don’t know where he is: he is in a cell in county jail in Riverside.

Employee allegedly Burglarized boss’ home By T. E. McMorrow
A Brooklyn man who burglarized a Northwest Woods house was found soon afterward by officers late afternoon on May 18, hiding under the deck of a neighboring house, according to the East Hampton Town Police. Lin Sen, 22, was charged with two felonies, burglary and criminal possession of stolen property. Police were dispatched a little before 5 PM after a neighbor reported suspicious activity at 7 Valley Street. Sen allegedly fled the scene before police arrived. Officers soon located Sen outside a residence on Todd Drive.
According to the police, Sen had forced his way into a locked bedroom at 7 Valley Street. When he was arrested, police said, he was in possession of an Ebel wrist watch, a Prada wallet, a pearl necklace, and an envelope containing both Chinese and American currency. Jing-Bin Jiang, the Valley Street resident whose room Sen allegedly robbed, confirmed with police that the items were all his possessions. Police apparently were able to connect Sen to the crime scene by matching wet footprints to his shoes, which were confiscated. At headquarters, Sen reportedly admitted to police that he had illegally entered the house. “I didn’t want to steal them, but I did anyway,” he is quoted as saying.
During his arraignment the next morning in front of East Hampton Town Justice Lisa Rana, he was represented by Carl Irace, an attorney paid by the county to ensure strong legal representation for defendants on weekends. Justice Rana asked where Sen worked. Irace answered that Sen worked in an Asian fusion restaurant in East Hampton. “The complaining witnesses in this case are his employers.” Bail was set at $2000, which was posted at police headquarters by a relative Saturday afternoon.
In other news, town police arrested an East Hampton woman on May 16 on a felony charge of
assault with a weapon. Luz Elena Pena, 57, is accused of striking her 16-year-old daughter, whose name was not released, across her forehead with a metal hand mirror, causing “a raised welt, a laceration with bleeding, and significant pain,” the police said. During her arraignment, East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky issued an order of protection requiring Pena to stay away from her daughter. Bail was set at $2500, which was posted.
Independent/T.E. McMorrow Lin Sen of Brooklyn was charged with burglary Friday. Police said he broke into a Northwest Woods residence and stole over $2000 worth of items.

According to the East Hampton Village Police, Joseph Field, 27, was headed east while driving a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado pickup when he slammed into the rear of 2001 Dodge pickup that was stopped in traffic, waiting to make the turn onto Main Street. The impact was hard enough to propel the Dodge into the vehicle in front of it, a 2010 Ford Suburban, which then rear-ended a 2011 Dodge sedan. Field was in an East Hampton Village ambulance being treated for an injured, possibly broken, arm when police arrived. As police spoke with him, they said that his speech was lethargic, and he had trouble maintaining his train of thought.

Feature He decided to give it a shot. After all, he said, “I come from a medical family background. My father was a physician. So were my brother and uncle, and my other uncle was a dentist.” Steve moved back to New York and applied to New York University to first get his bachelor’s degree so that he could then apply to a school of dentistry.
Stage Manager Steve Sobel in 1968.
He received his degree from NYU and went on to Temple University’s School of Dentistry, graduating in 1976. He spent a year at Albert Einstein Hospital doing his residency. The land of sunshine beckoned Sobel back and he worked in private practice for a while until he became a fulltime professor, teaching dentistry at the University of Southern California. Although Sobel moved to California “for the endless summers,” he returned to New York in 2016 to be near his only remaining relative, his sister, the New York Times best-selling author Dava Sobel.
A Walk Down Memory Lane with Steve Sobel By Valerie Bando-Meinken
“I’ve driven cross country 11 times,” said Steve Sobel. “The last time was with my cat, Halo. That was two years ago.” Now a resident of East Hampton, Sobel is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. “I knew when I graduated that I wasn’t going to be an actor. Rather, I would be in technical theater,” he explained.
“I was interested and fascinated with what the academy’s stage manager did and knew that’s what I wanted to do. But it’s tough to get your name out there, so I started by working as an apprentice in summer stock, building scenery and working backstage.” In 1962, he got his first break when he met Robert Moss, a wellknown stage manager, performer, and producer. Sobel began working for him on a travelling children’s show that went to schools around the city. At the time, Moss was 26
stage managing a show at the offBroadway Martinique Theater. When he moved on to become manager for The Pinter Plays at the Provincetown Playhouse, Sobel took over his job at the Martinique, and when Moss went on to manage a Broadway show, Sobel took over as stage manager of The Pinter Plays. With the Vietnam War raging in the background, Sobel’s stagemanaging career came to an abrupt halt when he was drafted. He spent two years in the army, stationed in Fairbanks, AK. Although Sobel says that he hated Alaska, he acknowledged, “I really didn’t have the right to complain. I was never in harm’s way and I was never in a position in which anyone was shooting at me.”
When he completed his military service, he landed a position at Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA. He soon moved to Philadelphia, where he became one of the stage managers at the Theater
of the Living Arts, working with the avant-garde Artistic Director, Andre Gregory.
A year later, Steve moved to Los Angeles and became one of the original stage mangers at the Inner City Repertory Company, and in 1968, Sobel became stage manager of the Shakespeare Festival at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego.
But, he admitted, “The bottom sort of dropped out of stage managing. I wasn’t getting enough work and was not stage managing on a regular basis. Sometimes I would work with the stagehands moving scenery day to day, sometimes I’d be driving a cab or delivering the Los Angeles Times in the middle of the night. I wanted a better future.”
During this time, Sobel was having some dental work done. “I became interested in and fascinated by what my dentist was doing to me. And I envied his lifestyle. I thought, ‘I wonder if I could do that.’ I’d been a dental patient all my life.”
Sobel recalls showing his sister the model airplanes and ships that he would painstakingly assemble. He continues to enjoy this hobby today. A model prominently displayed in his living room is a replica of the PT-157, the boat that rescued John F. Kennedy and his crew in the Pacific Ocean during World War II. Rather than being remote control, the planes he builds are U-Control, connected by at least two sets of long lines which allow the operator to control the plane. Although he likes living near his sister in East Hampton, Sobel laments, “There’s nowhere to fly planes. They require a large open field and the U-Control lines can be as long as 70 feet in length. You need to be able to circle around without any obstructions and it isn’t safe for anyone to be walking in the field when you’re flying.”
Besides building and flying models, Sobel is also the founder of Story Salon East. Each week he organizes a forum in which individuals of all ages can come to tell a story or just listen to other people’s stories. The event draws a crowd and is scheduled every Wednesday at Ashawagh Hall in Springs, East Hampton.

The East End’s very own fire troupe, The Fiery Sensations, lit up the beach at the Montauk Yacht Club on May 17 at the opening party for the Montauk Music Festival. Independent/Peggy Spellman Hoey
Fire Walks With Them By Peggy Spellman Hoey
Adults tell you not to play with fire when you’re a child. It will burn, it will hurt you, they say. Most people take that advice and stay away from it throughout their lives. They don’t run to it. Instead, they run away. But not everyone.
Some are drawn to fire. They become friends with it, and engage in play with it, often. They master the element to the point where their relationship becomes an intricate dance.
“It’s kind of like love at first sight,” said Samantha Ruddock, one of three principal performers with the East End’s very own fire troupe, The Fiery Sensations, of her attraction to fire. Ruddock, a professional actress and filmmaker originally from Montauk, mastered flames with 28
ease, swinging a flaming hula hoop around her waist and neck. She then danced in tandem with another trouper against the backdrop of alternative rock along the beach outside of the Montauk Yacht Club on May 17 for the Montauk Music Festival’s opening party. “To bond with fire is a spiritual thing,” she said.
When you are the only people out there playing with fire, you are going to hear about each other, according to Susan Blacklocke, another principal in the troupe and an East End native. About 10 years ago, Blacklocke began attending the Sagg Main drumming circle, a group that gathers at Sagg Main Beach to play Samba drums and dance. Blacklocke would go to the beach

and practice her poi — weighted, tethered bags that can be swung by hand, forming geometric patterns.
The people who dance with fire always find each other. “Fire is a bond that you have,” said Evan Thomas of Amagansett, who goes by the nickname “Toast.” He is the group’s fire breather, wowing crowds as he seemingly swallows, then spews, fire on stage. Off-stage, he acts as the group’s executive, making bookings, paying insurance, and purchasing fuel for practice and gigs. “It pretty much started with the three of us,” said Blacklocke, whose day job is the supplements manager for Provisions Natural Foods Grocery and Café in Sag Harbor.
The group maintains the trio as principals and there are about seven “satellite” people who are rotated in and out for different performances. Their performances range from fire breathing, fire hooping, and fire poi, to fire fans, staffs, juggling, and snakes, to meteor showers, which involves creating and throwing sparks.
For Blacklocke, who wields fire poi like a ninja wields swords, it’s not only about practice. “It’s still the first thing that I want to do when I get up. For me, it’s meditative. It opens my body,” she said.
themselves with water before performances.
Ruddock agrees. “You feel the flow,” she added. To protect themselves from their craft, the troupe tries to stay away from synthetic clothing, instead favoring natural fibers such as denim, leather, and thick cotton. And they do wear fire retardant fabric when possible, and for further protection, they douse
Sometimes the performers do get burned, so they make sure to carry honey, which aids in healing burns. They also always have someone on hand for fire protection in case there is a mishap. The spotter’s purpose is to watch the performance and check the troupe’s clothing to make it does not catch fire. It’s a case where the spotter might have to point out, “Hey, Evan, left hip,” Ruddock said adding, all joking aside, “We take safety very seriously.”
Despite getting burned, they do always come back for more because each time is like the first time they burned — the term used for setting their implement on fire for the first time. It never gets tired, according to Ruddock.
“My body — it doesn’t happen often — but my body talked to me and said, ‘You have to do this.’ It was like a soulmate relationship you have with love at first sight and you are shot out of a chair,” she said.

motor vehicle crashes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Suffolk, the leading cause of motor vehicle crashes is impaired driving, and the second is reckless or distracted driving.
During District Attorney Sini’s tenure as the county’s police commissioner, motor vehicle crashes within the police district, the portion of the county including the five townships to the west, were reduced by more than 30 percent, credited to a multi-pronged enforcement effort to increase traffic safety.
“I’m proud to say that the Suffolk County Police Department and its partners have been successful in reducing motor vehicle crashes that result in serious physical injuries or fatalities, but enforcement is just one piece of our approach. We need to educate; we need to raise awareness of making bad decisions behind the wheel,” Sini said.
Sini noted that with prom season coming up, it’s the perfect time for schools to provide the presentation. “It’s a terrific opportunity for schools to be on the cutting edge of education and prevention,” he added. The DA’s office is inviting school districts and community groups
across the county to participate in the program by emailing InfoDA@ suffolkcountyny.gov or calling 631853-5602.

want to industrialize our oceans,” said Dan Farnham. “We need baseline studies.” Julie Lofstad, a Southampton Town councilwoman who runs a commercial fishing business with her husband, joined several other
speakers in calling for more landbased solar power instead of the wind turbines. If the state persisted pushing offshore wind generators, she urged, “Put it off to New York City somewhere.”
Larry Penny, the former director of the East Hampton Town Natural Resource Department, said that the wind generators are wholesale killers of migratory birds and bats. Deepwater has floated a “community benefits package” worth $8.5 million to be divvied up among assorted recipients to grease the skids for its project.
“Throw out the community benefits package,” urged Rachel Gruzen. “We do not have enough info; there are significant data gaps. Strict regulatory framework does not exist.” Si Kinsella, who lives near Beach Lane, is no favorite of the town board — its members refused to allow him to be reappointed to the Wainscott Citizens Advisory Committee, a rare occurrence.
At the hearing, he set up several charts and began to speak, only to be told his three minutes were up, apparently prematurely. He said afterward he was going to warn those assembled that the Wainscott cable landing wasn’t going to be feasible.
Unexpected expenses?
That would mean Deepwater would have to bring the cable in at Napeague and run it under Montauk Highway, which has gas lines running underneath. The work would have to be done by hand, he said, and would be cost-prohibitive — somewhere between $92 million and $128 million.

Editorial
Remember, And Ponder
Insight
Memorial Day weekend is, on the surface, about the parades, the barbecues, and advent of the summer. For East Enders, it is more — this is the beginning of “the season” where businesses, after a dormant offseason, enter their moneymaking season and the local economy churns hard. Monday is a federal holiday set aside for the purpose of remembering those who gave their lives in the armed forces. Think about it — their sacrifice was unconditional. It cuts across party lines, gender, color, creed, and ethnic background, religious or political persuasion. Asked to serve their country, they did so, unflinchingly. These were not nameless “casualties.” These were almost all young people, fresh out of high school, from small towns like ours and from the big cities. They had parents, left behind to grieve for eternity. Some had infants they barely had a chance to meet. They leave widows and widowers, abandoned when their lives together were just beginning. The very concept of courage is hard to fathom. Where does a soldier find the inner strength to face death? In his heart, in his soul? Is it something inbred, planted by generations past that allow him (or her) to rise up against an enemy bent on destroying him? Many of us could not, and would not, put ourselves in harm’s way. Make no mistake about it, though — the brave possess a quality we will never comprehend. These are the kinds of horror stories that play out every day, and yet war continues, all over the globe, as it has for hundreds of years.
Someday our country, and all the countries on earth, will stop asking their young citizens to do their evil bidding.
Ed Gifford
Someday intelligent leaders will find solutions with words, not weapons.
Someday, man really will evolve from the Neanderthal state. How odd that despite all these technical and medical breakthroughs, we’re still nothing more than animals who cannibalize our young. Enjoy Memorial Day weekend, but don’t say, “Have a happy Memorial Day.” Instead, on this somber occasion, say a prayer for those who made freedom possible, who, without fanfare, laid their lives on the line for us.

energy invested by all involved, it is time to move on. All four propositions were defeated, with the most recent district office purchase proposition being soundly defeated 397 for, and 894 against. This is a very large voting gap by a huge voter turnout. One poll worker told me that the turnout was like a presidential election!
What are your Memorial Day weekend plans? Lesan Hanna It’s going to be mostly a quiet weekend that I’ll spend with my son. But then we’ll probably have a dinner with our family. There will be about five of us. And my mother-in-law, who is such a wonderful cook, will do most of the cooking. I’m looking forward to it. Bobby Seeger I’m going to be barbequing a bit and relaxing, and spending time in the pool they call the ocean. My flags are up all the time, so I don’t put one up especially for the day. And I’d like to go on record as saying that the flag I fly is made in America.
It is obvious that the administration and the board of education do not have an accurate finger on the pulse of our entire community. Things need to change. Perhaps establishing a community advisory committee would begin to start a heartbeat concerning the wishes and needs of the Southampton School District resident taxpayers. It might not work, but it would be a refreshing start. Adding to the public discontent and disconnect are issues with the administration and board on many topics, to name but a few: embarrassing and costly episodes with firing personnel; a cloak of secrecy concerning business affairs and Freedom of Information refusals; Common Core and testing; many reports of questions and concerns by the public not being addressed; lack of responses by employees and trustees (this is behind the scenes and at public board meetings); most recently, adopting gender shared facility policies; and, my personal favorite, removing the federal holiday, Columbus Day, from the school calendar and replacing it with Indigenous Peoples Day.
Makes you feel warm and fuzzy, doesn’t it? Just makes you want to run to the polls and vote positively, right?
On Tuesday, Westhampton Beach School District taxpayers voted to reduce the term of its trustees from five-year terms to three-year terms. The vote was overwhelming, with 310 for and 45 against. Perhaps Southampton should take stock and follow suit. Southampton might get more qualified candidates to run, if the time commitment was shortened. If a trustee is not an asset to the board, they would be gone a year earlier. However, if they were doing a good job, and they wanted to stay on, they could be voted to

Destruction and Impoverishment To the Independent Editor,
I am not sure if it was intentional, but I found the facing pages of Local News this past week that featured Minerva Perez, Executive Director of OLA, on the left speaking about the fear permeating our undocumented residents’ community, and the report that yet another “long time resident of East Hampton . . . was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents . . . by East Hampton Village Police, on an administrative warrant” quite a contrast.
The potential deportation of the charged offender, after his family had posted $5000 bail that morning
for unlicensed driving and a felony drunk driving charge, seems like piling on, certainly. Conviction on the charges that might result from the described behavior and history would absolutely require appropriate punishment, but not perhaps the destruction and impoverishment of an entire family, and the creation of dread within the likely largest segment of our working community. Not an attorney, I am unqualified to assess the legal propriety of administrative warrants, but as a relatively well (and publicly) educated first-generation Hispanic American, I am aware that our founders considered the use of administrative warrants, as bills of attainder, “odious” in that they removed the Constitutional responsibility for punishment from its proper judicial branch after trial and conviction. (See James Madison in Federalist 44, and The Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, paragraph 3 which provides that: “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law will be passed.”)

Daisy Goodwin: Channeling Victoria’s Strength By Bridget LeRoy
“I realized then that she was a girl after my own heart.” Daisy Goodwin
Say “Queen Victoria” and most people will immediately picture the aged monarch, paunchy and sullen, dressed in black with a lace doily on her head: an Alfred Hitchcock in drag. And Prince Albert? Um, do you have him in a can?
Daisy Goodwin, writer and creator of the smash-hit PBS series “Victoria” — starring Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes — wasn’t that removed from those concepts when she was assigned the queen’s journals to read while at Cambridge University. “I was expecting something as sour and off-putting as the statues of the old queen that are everywhere in London,” she said. “But when I
B-4
came to read them, I realized that in the early years of her reign she was just this young girl, who liked dancing and flirting and men.”
“Victoria,” which is currently filming its third season, chronicles those early years — from the 18-year-old’s ascension to the throne to her flirtation with Lord Melbourne, her prime minister, to her romance and marriage to Prince Albert and the subsequent children she birthed (nine) — all while running the most powerful country in the world and facing the deleterious overview of a maledominated society.
“There is a wonderful passage where she writes about how handsome Albert looks in his white cashmere breeches, with nothing on under them,” Goodwin said with a
laugh. “I realized then that she was a girl after my own heart.”
(The exact quote, from November 1, 1839, is: “It was piercingly cold, and I sat in my cape, which dearest Albert settled comfortably for me. He was so cold, dear Angel, being in grande tenue with tight white cazimere pantaloons (nothing under them) and high boots.”)
The vision of the feisty young queen stayed with Goodwin as she went on to write novel after novel, get married, and have children of her own. But life gets, well, life-ier. A series of seeming setbacks — personal, health, and financial, all in the past now — is what motivated Goodwin to channel the strength of Victoria and write about her in

Artists Examine Retro Americana
By Nicole Teitler
Roman Fine Art gallery in East Hampton presents a new exhibit “Pastime/Time Passed,” featuring new work from Brooklyn-based artists Lizzie Gill and Ciara Rafferty, with an opening reception Saturday, May 26, from 6 to 8 PM, and on view through July 1. Both artists take inspiration from the post WWII era of the 1950s and 1960s. Holistic, romanticized values are depicted through mixed media and architectural spaces.
Gill uses her mixed media artwork in a contemporary context to divulge into thematic “retro America.” She has a BS in Fine Art from Skidmore College in New York and has studied at the Studio Arts Centers International in Florence, Italy.
Ciara Rafferty takes spaces in public architecture and explores “the psychology of perception,” taking a seemingly simple subject into the forefront of thoughtful consideration. She obtained a BFA in Visual Arts and Art History from the University of San Diego and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art.
LIZZIE GILL Describe your artistic process. Speaking to my collage process, I’ll search for an image that resonates with me, and from there begin to build the piece.
Utilizing a hole punch, I’ll flip through pages of advertisements, looking for colors, text, and patterns
to create the dots that form an almost abstract, pointillist collage. It’s very painterly how I work, so choosing these elements is integral to my process. How has Brooklyn inspired your art work? The artist community in Brooklyn has been very inspirational and supportive, especially in the medium of collage.
Early on, collaborating with local artists to put on group shows and discuss work was a formative building block of my experience as an artist in Brooklyn. What single image captures the essence of the ’50s/’60s era?
The Marlboro Man.
Using An Image from yesteryear, describe how you would portray your own personality. The vintage toilet tissue ads. In the series of ads, the women are dressed in elegant ballgowns, rubbing the paper to their face, and holding back their elation at how soft it is. I find this image speaks to my sense of humor and my interest in the absurd. Why does this era captivate you so much? I find this era fascinating because to me, it is all very theatrical.

NOFO Art Collective returns By Nicole Teitler
The North Fork Art Collective, a creative hub for artists, returns for a second year in its new space at 15 Front Street in Greenport, with an opening reception celebration on Friday, May 25, from 6 to 9 PM.
The venue will serve as an exhibition gallery, showcasing works from members involved as well as a
working studio environment. Workshops, classes, and presentations open to the public will also be held. In a sort of WeWork meets art gallery, artists across all media from both the North and South Forks will have communal space to work, collaborate, and interact with the local community. Annual Collective members include chalk artist Kara Hoblin,

multimedia artist and photographer Dalton Portella, draftswoman Kelly Franké, photographer Sarah Prescott, environmental artist Cindy Pease Roe, painter Emma Ballou, photographer Madison Fender, painter Verona Peñalba, and multimedia artist Scott Bluedorn. “The community has really embraced us. We want to encourage people to create, and connect through the arts, music, performance, and any medium that speaks to them. It’s a safe space for creativity. We don’t judge each other, we encourage each other, and we believe in the art of creating to heal,” the Collective’s founder and manager Hoblin explained. What began as a dream project for Hoblin debuted in 2017 for four months in its first physical space only two doors down and consisted of seven members. The new location promises a longer, perhaps permanent, stay with a yearlong lease and the opportunity to renew.
One of the original members, Franké, said, “I’m excited for our second year as the North Fork Art Collective. By coming together, this group of artists is able to do something that none of us could have done alone. We created a gallery space for greater visibility, a group studio to encourage production and inspiration, and soon workshops for others to join. Art is culture, which goes hand in hand with community. Everyone benefits, artists and art lovers alike.” There are two membership options. There are two membership options.

Community is the anchor of this organization and, as such, the Collective is committed to giving back. Members will sell artwork to benefit the Community Action Southold Town, a non-profit working to help low-income residents, at the Alex Vinash Fashion Show on June 2 at the Greenport American Legion. In addition, the NoFo Art Collective is planning shows to help benefit environment conservation and local school district art programs.
“As artists we tend to isolate. I’m looking forward to the collaboration, the exchange of ideas, and more important, the support. Together we are stronger,” said member Sarah Prescott. The opening reception will include cheese and charcuterie by Lombardi’s Love Lane Market, craft beer by Greenport Harbor Brewing Company, wine by Bedell Cellars, and live music by fellow member Dalton Portella. There will be an artinspired dinner at Bruce and Son in Greenport on June 9. Visit www. nofoartcollective.com to shop for art and for more information.

Arts&Entertainment guys and what makes them tick. And it’s another show that doesn’t take sides. It really tries to honor both of these very flawed but very passionate men.”
This year’s Mainstage musical is Evita, which has, according to Schwartz, “been on my list for a long time.” Like other musical forays at Bay Street, a house that fits 299 people, the show is “focused and stripped back, more elemental and actor-based.”
Celebrity & Politics At Bay Street By Bridget LeRoy
A Hollywood friendship during the McCarthy era. A famed interview with a fallen president. A woman who rose from impoverished commoner to become the First Lady of Argentina.
These are the three Main Stage offerings at Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater this summer — Fellow Travelers, a world premiere directed by Michael Wilson, Peter Morgan’s tour-de-force drama Frost/Nixon, and the Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Webber smash hit musical Evita. “I know I say this every year,” Scott Schwartz, Bay Street’s Artistic Director, acknowledged. “But I think this may be the best year during my time here. Also, this season is an experience that will add up, and raise questions that will relate to our time today.”
There’s also a bonus fourth production this year, Confessions of a Mormon Boy, a true tale written and performed by Steven Fales, which is “funny but graphic. This one is for adults only,” Schwartz described. Fellow Travelers depicts the deterioration of a friendship between three Hollywood powerhouses — the playwright Arthur Miller, his wife, Marilyn Monroe, and famed director Elia “Gadge” Kazan — set against the backdrop of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee’s witch-hunt for communists in the arts. Kazan was what was known as a
“friendly witness,” offering up the names of possible members of the American Communist Party, while Miller did the opposite — admitting his own leftist leanings but refusing to name anyone else — which earned him kudos from his liberal compatriots and a contempt of court ruling.
Set in a run-down tango club, sort of a play within a play, Schwartz is excited that Evita will feature an all-Latin cast, “with one small exception, a local child, but I feel that the entire adult company is ethnically authentic,” he said. In keeping with the celebrity and politics theme that seems to run through all the shows this year, Schwartz described the RiceWebber hit as “a look at a very complicated woman who frankly uses her sexuality to gain power,
but then transforms herself, and the world.” Along with these shows and Confessions of a Mormon Boy, Bay Street will offer its Music Mondays with stars like Lucie Arnaz and Charles Busch, comedy turns by Paula Poundstone and Colin Quinn, among others, theater camps for kids of all ages, and a new intern program (with a show, Obama-ology, staged and acted by the interns), and the annual summer gala on July 27. This is the last year that Bay Street will hold the fete on Long Wharf.
But at the heart of the summer are the Mainstage productions. “The shows raise questions without taking sides,” Schwartz reiterated. “This isn’t telling you who’s right and who’s wrong or what you should believe. These are versions of their stories.” For more information, visit www. baystreet.org.
bridget@indyeastend.com
“It’s even handed,” said Schwartz of Fellow Travelers, which is written by Jack Canfora and represents the fifth year in a row that Bay Street has kicked off its season with a world premiere. “It really tries to speak from their perspectives in a Shavian way. It’s about people speaking their truth,” he continued. “What should we be loyal to? Who should we be loyal to? To our friends, our political ideals, our country?” he posited.
Next up is Frost/Nixon, which has already had a successful run in London and New York, along with an Oscar-nominated film version directed by Ron Howard and starring the original leads from the West End: Michael Sheen and Frank Langella. Bay Street brings two perennial faves and remarkable talents to the stage, with Daniel Gerroll as David Frost and Harris Yulin as Richard Nixon. “They’re brilliant actors. We’re so honored to have them back,” said Schwartz. “And Harris and Danny have both directed here too.”
The show, Schwartz promised, is quite a high-tech video production, but “at its core, it’s about these two

Embrace by Shawn Heinrichs.
Art Sheds Light On ocean’s shadows By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
“Art is my passion; conservation is my purpose,” said Shawn Heinrichs. The Emmy award-winning cinematographer, photographer, and marine conservationist will exhibit photographs in the show “Light on Shadow” at the Southampton Arts Center, opening Saturday, May 26. The show is the photographer’s intimate journey through both the beauty of marine life and the reality that threatens its existence, generating a powerful warning against complacency. It is co-presented by Blue Sphere Foundation.
Blue Sphere Foundation, cofounded by Heinrichs, is a not for profit that works to safeguard the planet’s oceans.
“Light on Shadow” seeks to highlight the struggle that sits at the very heart of Heinrichs’s fine art practice. The artist fuses dramatic imagery with intimate and thoughtB-8
provoking stories to connect people to globally important issues and inspire action around conservation of our oceans and the vulnerable marine life within them.
including protecting the Crown Jewel of Biodiversity in West Papua, using technology to safeguard marine protected areas, and stopping the impending extinction of tuna.
“Art is a universal language that opens people’s hearts,” added Heinrichs. “We started the foundation to use art in all its forms to connect people on an emotional level with majestic, yet endangered, marine wildlife and inspire them to act before it is too late.”
“Shawn’s striking imagery creates the framework for SAC to activate weeks of dynamic programming, including a variety of ocean-themed films such as Laird Hamilton’s Take Every Wave, as well as engaging conversations and educational children’s events,” said Simone Levinson, Southampton Arts Center founding board co-chair.
“I have found art is the most powerful tool I can bring to bear to help protect the ocean’s most threatened species and habitants,” said Heinrichs, who is also the cocreator of the Emmy-nominated environmental documentary Racing Extinction.
The six-week presentation, which is curated by Matthew Hockley Smith, includes more than 40 photographs. A portion of the proceeds from art sales will go directly to help fund Blue Sphere Foundation’s projects,
Additionally, part of the proceeds will support Southampton Arts Center’s commitment to sustainable programming that is crucial to advancing a discussion within the community.
“It’s an honor to work with Shawn Heinrichs and his sublimely moving art work,” said Smith. “Conservation elements are so beautifully entwined with his message, only adding to the power of the art experience
and resonating with us on such a profound level.”
An opening reception will be held on Saturday, May 26, from 6 to 8 PM. An artist and curator gallery talk with Heinrichs and Smith will be held Monday, May 28, from 6 to 8 PM. The screening of Racing Extinction, followed by a Q&A with Heinrichs, will take place on Friday, June 1, at 6 PM. A gallery tour with the photographer will be held on Sunday, July 8, at noon, as will an “In Conversation” on Sunday, July 15, at 11 AM. The show runs through July 16.

Hampton Daze // Jessica Mackin-Cipro fantastic seafood), and there’s no place for traffic during my perfect day.
My Perfect Day: Montauk Last week I started a series of what my perfect day in each East End village would look like. This week, Montauk. Montauk End of the World. The End. The Last Resort. All phrases used to describe our beloved Montauk. It’s a small drinking town with a fishing problem. AntiFedora signs have been known to line the insides of local restaurants and watering holes, placed there to discourage hipsters. Some visitors go to Montauk to relax, others to party. Whatever way you choose to enjoy Montauk, it’s one of the most bustling tourist locations in the Town of East Hampton.
My perfect day in Montauk would start, first and foremost, by waking up in Montauk. I’m an East Hampton native who now lives in Hampton Bays (a town that holds a lot of similar charms to Montauk — a fishing village with a closeknit community that offers plenty of waterfront dining options with
Navy Beach
I’d stay at Breakers, a small 1950s seaside motel with amazing ocean views. The rooms were renovated last summer. Each are individual houses, offering privacy. Just in time for summer, ALL DAY @ Breakers, a new café and bar, has opened at the location. The venue offers breakfast, lunch, weekend brunch, a grab-and-go menu, après beach bites, and cocktails at the bar and patio with a menu by executive chef Robert Sieber. It’s the perfect spot for poolside service. I’d wake up on a Sunday morning (I love a good Sunday day trip to Montauk) and have a Toby’s Estate coffee overlooking the ocean. After that, I’d head over to Joni’s for a quick breakfast before it’s off to hike Camp Hero State Park. Joni’s has an extensive menu that includes health food. From smoothies to breakfast wraps, it’s the perfect start to my perfect day and to fuel my hike.
The Breakers
There are so many hiking trails in Montauk, it’s easy to create the level of difficulty you want for yours. I like to hike around Camp Hero and the Montauk Lighthouse, because the view is unsurpassed. Don’t forget to take a photo by the radar tower. You can pretend you’re visiting from The Upside Down — the park is said to be the inspiration for the Netflix series “Stranger Things.”
Camp Hero
Montauk has no shortage of watering holes, so grabbing an afternoon drink and bite is next on the list. When in Montauk, I like to hop around — preferably on the

The Montauket. It’s one of the best sunset views in Montauk. And when in Montauk, it’s all about being on the water.

Quincy Davis opens Quincy x MTK Independent/Ladyslider
Pro Surfer Finds New Spot in Montauk By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Montauk native Quincy Davis has traveled the world, touring in pro surf competitions. Always inspired by art, fashion, and design she is now opening Quincy x MTK, a curated shopping space in her hometown of Montauk. The Independent spoke with Davis about her surfing career, the new shop, her charitable work, and a surf camp for girls she is hosting this summer. Give us a little background on your career as a pro surfer. I started surfing at age six. I grew up spending my entire days at the beach with my family and my mom, dad, and brother loved to surf. I was hooked, and soon I was going with my friends to surf contests along B-12
the East Coast.
I began doing well, traveling to compete, and was sponsored at age 12. I surfed for the USA team and went to World Juniors in Bali, placing third. It was never a very planned out career; it just became my life due to the fact that surfing was all I wanted to do. I’m lucky to call it a job. Some of my best friendships have been made through surfing.
Tell us about your new shop, Quincy x MTK. The store is in the heart of my hometown Montauk, and I have been in love with the location for years. It’s a quaint little space with cedar shingles and French doors that lead to an outside courtyard. In a way, it’s always reminded me of my surfboard shed my dad built for
me — minus the French doors — and that’s why my store sign is a Q, just like my surf shack.
My first thought when creating my store was to have a home for brands and products that reflect my lifestyle and that I use day to day. I also wanted to create an opportunity for brands to be able to have access to what is so magical about Montauk in the summer — create a home for them to come to Quincy, host an event, and create an experience for locals and visitors. What are some items you plan on carrying in the curated shopping space? I’m curating the space with some of my favorite brands from swim and beauty, brands that complement the lifestyle of being outside all
day and in and out of the water. Summertime is all about a relaxed sense of style and ease with your self. But there will also be special little treats, like my own jewelry line, and the most deliciously scented body oils and candles, and cozy throws. How and when did you become interested in fashion? Ever since I can remember, my mom always put together a great outfit and loves to dress up. A great outfit makes you feel so good, and I love that part of it, the confidence boost. Whenever I travel, I’m most interested in seeing the styles and clothes other girls are wearing and how they accessorize. I was fortunate to have the

Karan’s Urban Zen Merges Food & Fashion By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Urban Zen has a new Sag Harbor home starting this Memorial Day weekend.
Owner and fashion designer Donna Karan has joined forces with her daughter, Gabby Karan De Felice, owner of Tutto il Giorno, to create an experience that brings together food and style in the Main Street space that was formerly Muse, overlooking the bay. “Urban Zen is my passion, where all the things I care about most come together: creativity, compassion, and community,” said Karan. “We’ve always had an Urban Zen home in Sag Harbor, a place where it all comes together. Now we have a new Sag Harbor home, with a taste of my daughter’s restaurant Tutto il Giorno, to make it the ultimate Urban Zen summer
experience.”
The retail space will offer apparel, home décor, furniture, accessories, books, art, objects of desire, beauty products, and essential oils. Urban Zen will provide the Hamptons style experience, while Tutto il Giorno curates the summer menu.
The 2000-square-foot outdoor patio aims to bring the Hamptons community together, as a place to hang with family and friends and to have a bite. The venture marks the mother and daughter’s hand-in-hand return to Sag Harbor, where it all began 10 years ago.
“The warmth and synergy, established 10 years ago, continues. Come indulge with family and friends — shop, hang out, have a drink, and grab a bite. It’s
the ultimate, Hamptons style experience. We’re so excited to share it with you,” said Karan.
Tutto il Giorno will bring fresh, light-fare Mediterranean cuisine to the space, with a farm-totable experience. They will debut the Tutto “Cestino” concept, an aperitivo menu created by Executive Chef Agostino Petrosino, available from 4 to 9 PM every day. Select wines, champagne, and special cocktails will also be available for toasting. “[My husband] Gianpaolo and I, along with our close friends and partners Gally and David Mayer, opened Tutto il Giorno 10 years ago in Sag Harbor for a restaurant experience that captured his Naples upbringing with lazy days of boating to Ischia and Capri,” said De Felice.
“Our vision has expanded to restaurants in Southampton and New York City. Now we return to Sag Harbor by way of my mother’s new Urban Zen experience. It’s a fresh-air sampling of the kind of beloved food and outdoor atmosphere Tutto is known for. Come by and say hello this summer.” The space will be open daily from 10 AM to 9 PM. The venue will serve up a variety of community events throughout the summer. They plan to offer a series to bring like-minded individuals and organizations together for art shows, book signings, conscious conversations, dinner parties, and trunk shows.

Michelle Farmer Opens in Southampton By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Michelle Farmer Collaborate has opened its doors in Southampton Village at 10A Jobs Lane.
“It’s been a dream of mine to have a store in Southampton. As both a longtime local resident with my husband Peter and original designer, I am thrilled to present this exclusive collection to the community,” said Farmer.
Farmer presents a bespoke and ready to wear collection as well as a curated collection of brands from around B-14
the world, providing shoppers with unique and exquisite clothing, jewelry, and accessory options. Michelle Farmer boutiques are also located in Palm Beach and at The Boca Resort and Club in Boca Raton. The brand is expanding, including the opening of its new atelier in West Palm Beach, giving Farmer the ability to have her designs made in the USA.
Farmer, known for her radiant fabrics, also offers custom creations perfect for summer benefits or weddings. Farmer is known as a
fashion fairy godmother, crafting just the right look that’s versatile from day into night.
“It’s important to know your customer and to present an amazing shopping experience as well as gorgeous merchandise,” said Farmer. “For us, it is all about feeling great, luxurious fabrics, beautiful fit, and knowing that you are purchasing something special. Our curated brands cannot be found online and range from bespoke evening wear to luxury resort wear, fine jewelry, and
accessories.”
The Southampton location offers garb perfect for a day at the beach or a formal affair. The completely renovated, bright space also includes original art from Andy Gershon and Sean Brannan.

opportunity to co-design a capsule collection with my sponsor Volcom at age 16 and loved the process. I’m working on various collaborations right now for the store and it’s so exciting. Every one is a different creative experience and I love it. What are some of the environmental charities you are involved in? As I’ve recently made the decision to take a step back from the competitive tour, my travels are more focused on editorial and humanitarian efforts. My second home is Rincon in Puerto Rico and I recently came back from a trip organized by Free People in support of Waves 4 Water’s efforts to provide clean water to parts of the country still deeply affected by the wrath of the hurricane.
It was a very special feeling to take part in providing safe drinking
water to families and schools still so terribly affected. When you see people denied of their most basic necessities, you can’t help but want to do something. Tell us about the Austin Surf Camp summer surf clinics. This summer I’m hosting a surf camp for girls with Austin’s Surf Camp. When I was a young girl, there weren’t nearly as many girls in the water as there are now. I competed against boys a lot of the time.
I get so stoked when I go down to some of the beaches here and see how many young girls there are truly loving surfing and being in the water all day, just like how I grew up. I am really honored that some of them look up to me and I am excited to be in the water with them. I am planning to do some fun activities for the girls focusing on the importance of movement and fitness and how that connects to

your happiness. Where are some of your favorite spots in Montauk? The lighthouse. It has a special place in my heart as it’s one of my favorite waves. Crows Nest is my favorite summer time restaurant, and the beach bar is so fun! Happy Bowls, my brother’s acai shop, I highly recommend. Nothing beats a refreshing and healthy bowl on a hot summer day, you’ll thank me later!
Ditch Witch for a wave check and good cup of coffee. Surf Lodge for concerts of course. Ok, there’s just a
few. I can’t give away all my secrets! What has growing up in Montauk taught you? To be grateful. Its beauty is aweinspiring every day and I couldn’t be luckier to live here. The surfing community is very close and I have about 15 older brothers. There is no place like home! For more information on Austin’s Surf Camp visit www. austinssurfcamp.com.

Ten scantily-clad local ladies strutted their stuff to hoots and hollers last Thursday night in Southampton. It was for a good cause, though.
The models, who included hospital volunteers, a U.S. Navy veteran, a former news editor, and breast cancer survivors, donned reconstructed bras designed by local artists for the eighth annual Reconstructed Bra Fashion Show & Auction at the Southampton Social Club. There wasn’t a final tally on the 20 auctioned bras, which will support — no pun intended — Lucia’s Angels and the Coalition For Women’s Cancers at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. The event is believed to be a record breaker because the average bid price was $1000.

Hard to believe that the Perlman Music Program will be coming up soon on a silver anniversary. This unique classical music venture, which began on the grounds of the old Boys Harbor camp off Three Mile Harbor Road, made its debut about the same time as The

Independent, and was regularly featured in summer issues.
The Perlman Music Camp, as it was originally called, was the dream of Toby Perlman, a musician and teacher, who enlisted her famous violinist husband, Itzhak Perlman, in gathering top-notch colleagues to mentor young string players. The camp became an immediate and spectacular attraction for two weeks during the summer, drawing classical music lovers to risk the splatters of a mud-covered field with no apparent parking rules in order to sit under a semi-protective tent, listening to pieces from the traditional classical repertoire (it would be a while before late modernist works were regularly performed). In just a couple of years, however, it was apparent that Toby’s homey midsummer night’s dream needed a bigger and more accommodating home.
Fast forward to 2000, when the expanded summer concert series moved to Shelter Island Heights, and Perlman Music Camp became Perlman Music Program, with refurbished and newly built
permanent buildings that could be used throughout the year. Two weeks became three, then more, but the program would continue to be informed by Toby’s originating idea — that a supportive atmosphere for young musicians should not be all work and no play.
Toby’s dream would counter the all-too-familiar nightmare of young talented musicians pushed by parents, teachers, and themselves to practice, practice, practice. Where was the joy that should accompany instruction? Where the social interaction that would remind kids they were kids? Where the pacing that would provide youngsters with something other than intense rehearsal time? Enter Toby’s dream.
At PMP, indoor and outdoor recreational activities are an integral part of the program, along with simple hang-out time. Staff coach, guide, encourage, and listen, not drill. Students are encouraged to see themselves as members of a nurturing community rather than as soloists in competition with one another. A tradition in this regard has been Maestro Perlman’s welcoming of
It’s a difficult process, and not just because so many applicants are incredibly talented.
Complicating the process is that Toby considers The Littles not just young musicians, but youngsters. That means ensuring that a 12-year-old, say, has an age peer and is not alone among older adolescents. It also means that sections are balanced — a set number of violins, cellos, pianos, flutes, and so on. And it means that gender, ethnicity, and country of origin are factored into the mix. Thus, space is limited: once accepted, a Little can stay on until the age of 18. Some Littles become alums, and audiences are doubly blessed not only with performances by Littles in workshops but with concerts by alums and faculty, as well. A highlight is the benefit choral concert each year, led by Choral Director Patrick Romano, who elicits spontaneous cries of joy when introduced. As Toby has said, everyone plays voice, the ultimate instrument.
The Chamber Music Workshop Kick-off concert is Friday, June 1, at 7:30 PM. Chamber Music Master Classes, June 8, 12, 13, 14 at 7 PM. Celebration Concerts: June 15, June 16, at 2:30 and 7:30 PM. The Annual Summer Benefit this year will take place July 27 at 6 PM.

nglish Country Home is a full-service interior design consultation, installation, and home staging company. The company is also known for its party rentals, window treatments, and coverings. With one of the largest selection of fabrics on Long Island, English Country provides an array of tastefully beautiful rugs, wall and floor coverings, as well as reupholstered design. The English country meets antique style comes together seamlessly through the creativity of Englishman Chris Mead. Mead proudly works with local designers such as Mabley Handler, Tamara Magel, Hamptons House Design, Heiberg Cummings, Melanie Roy, Babcock Pfeffer, Karen Gorman, Robyn Karp,
Amy Werful, Susanne Kelley, Greg McKenzie, and many more. Owner Chris Mead recently shared his thoughts on the changing landscape of interior design. HOw DID yOU gET yOUR STaRT IN INTERIOR DESIgN? In 1980, I bought my first cottage on the East End, in Noyac, on the water. At the time, I was working and photographing for the book American Country, which started the American country decorating style/craze.
The English Country look is a more personal, relaxed look with
emphasis on good quality and lasting style. It’s comfort — more lazy Sunday afternoon than slick Manhattan cocktail parties.
Photographs courtesy of English Country Antiques.
While I was traveling around, I bought many early American pieces and used them to decorate my cottage. After publishing several books, I opened American Country, a store with Mary Emmerling that was often copied by larger department stores. With my English heritage, I continued to trade in English country antiques and style, importing over 150 containers to New York from the United Kingdom, and opened English Country Antiques. As design trends and styles have changed, so has my name, to E.C. Home, with the focus being more on modern and transitional furniture. In what ways has the Hamptons’ design landscape changed? Design in the Hamptons has often been influenced by the architectural style. When I started, everyone wanted old, historic homes, with interiors with character and decorated with antiques and traditional English country house style. Now, with the popularity of modern homes and modern living styles, the new generation wants newly built homes that are furnished to reflect their modern lifestyles, even though the exterior is often still in the shingled style. In keeping with this trend, we have staged new homes and sold the entire installation, so that the buyer can sleep there the same day they close the deal! The idea of a three-month summer season has changed too. People are visiting the Hamptons for a shorter time, coming Continued on page C-9.

back and forth, and therefore have less time to spend on decorating their beach house, which is why we keep a huge inventory, so that the Millennials can have their new home and lifestyle ready instantly. what’s your definition of ‘English Country’? The English country look is a more personal, relaxed look with emphasis on good quality and lasting style. It’s comfort — more lazy Sunday afternoon than slick Manhattan cocktail parties. Define ‘antique.’ The definition of antique has traditionally been anything over 100 years old. However, words like vintage, upcycled, and reclaimed have all become part of the trend towards being surrounded by items that have history, character, are “green,” and have little or no carbon footprint. How does the East End inspire you? As a photographer, the East End and its changing beauty is a constant source of inspiration. My love of the colorful farm stands, the wide cornfields, and the beach near our home on Sagg-Main Street also influence my style. The lifestyle out here and the changing patterns of how people live always keep me questioning how to make the store an exciting and inspirational place to visit. It’s a challenge to keep people coming back after 35 years! I like to keep my customers guessing as to what they might find the next time they visit the store. What are some of your favorite antique items selling right now? Out here, clients are often coming in looking for that item that is not available off the shelf. Designers also come in searching for pieces that will make a space memorable and personal. I have a love of shell encrusted pieces, and I collect antique boxes that have been decorated with vintage sea shells, some quite large. Some are antique; some are made by an artist in England. I still bring in a few containers each year, with accessories, antique tables, and dressers, to scatter around the store. The romance of antique furniture is still popular, just utilized on a lesser scale in each interior. The antique becomes a focal point, rather than just part of the furniture. English Country Home is located on 26 Snake Hollow Road in Bridgehampton. Call the store at 631-537-0606 or visit virtually at www.ecantiques.com. @NikkiOnTheDaily Nicole@indyeastend.com

Stops along the tour will include:
Village Gem
St. Andrew’s
This handsome home sits on nearly an acre property where Captain E. Halsey, after his last whaling voyage on the ship Franklin, built a home in 1848. Today’s house and grounds boast all the amenities of modern times, while giving a nod to the property’s rich history. Smaller rooms retain a cozy, traditional look, while a spacious wing with glass-paned French doors is light-filled and furnished with a sofa and chairs that beg to be sunk into.
Dune Church
on the waterfront
The Church is located at the foot of Lake Agawam and is one of Southampton’s most picturesque landmarks. Originally built as a life-saving station, it was acquired by Dr. T. Gaillard Thomas and donated as a church in 1879. A local carpenter was hired to create its beautiful rustic interior, which is filled with treasures, not the least of which are its 11 Tiffany windows.
This gabled home, with its soft-grey exterior palette and pebbled circular drive, makes a
The church has come under assault from raging seas on several occasions, including in 1938 when it was nearly destroyed by that year’s terrible hurricane. It was lovingly restored and has twice been moved back from the sea. Though it is nondenominational, its summer services are organized under the direction of Southampton’s Episcopal Church.
SOARING CEDARS The creative owners of this woodland retreat enlarged a relatively modest-sized house, raised the ceiling in the master bedroom, and added beams in the family room to achieve the airy look they were aiming for. Furnishings were chosen with comfort in mind but always imaginatively. Among their favorites are a lovely Art Deco chair and a stunning capiz-shell ceiling fixture. The grounds were given a major overhaul, leveled and planted to create a versatile, relaxing landscape surrounded by tall evergreens. A pool and an outdoor lounge complete the picture.
dignified, almost understated, impression on the approach. What you don’t see until you stroll to the back is its exquisite setting. That is where well-tended grounds meet the water’s edge, offering an unrivaled view across Lake Agawam. With its stylishly tailored interior, its third-floor game room, and plenty of outdoor seating, it is the perfect summer retreat for all ages.

THREE CHIMNEYS Built in 1927, this village house, with its satisfying symmetry, has been updated while respecting its original details, including built-in cabinetry and a pantry. The design-conscious owners had a bright, sunny interior to work with, and chose a mixture of custom designer furnishings and antiques for rooms that reflect their artistic sensibilities. For their light-filled rooms they have chosen plenty of pastel, beachy colors.
LINDEN Unequivocally one of Southampton’s foremost estates, Linden, designed by the renowned New York architect Grosvenor Atterbury, has lost none of its early 20th-Century grandeur, while acquiring all the modern luxuries of life in the 21st Century. Atterbury, who designed some of the most beautiful houses, clubs, and buildings in America, was a summer resident of Southampton, where his most familiar legacy is the building he designed for the original Parrish Art Museum. To enter into Linden’s nearly 18,000 square feet of living space, a visitor passes through a grand hall and into the main living room. There, and throughout the interior, original millwork and massive fireplaces have been preserved, giving the mansion a timeless grace. Glass doors in the living room offer a view of the estate’s nearly 10 park-like acres, beautifully landscaped with mature trees, flowering shrubs, evergreen perimeters, and rose gardens. Resort-like amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, and tennis and paddle courts.
THE THOmaS HaLSEy HOmESTEaD New York State’s oldest English-style house was a farm established by Thomas Halsey in 1648, one of Southampton’s original settlers. Today, Halsey House is managed as a historic house museum by the Southampton Historical Museum.
It provides an authentic setting to exhibit furnishings and tools that would have been used by a prosperous farming family during America’s colonial period. Behind the house is a colonial-style herb garden.
PINK CHaRmER This recently built pink charmer is a pure delight filled with whimsical details. No surface has been left unadorned, from the two-story foyer with its wallpaper featuring huge palm leaves to the custom-tile fireplace surround, which was hand-copied to match the swag wallpaper border.

REAL REALTY: TIM DAVIS
T
By Zachary Weiss imothy Davis has an eye for the best. When it comes to his properties, he’s teamed up with Corcoran to offer a unique suite of rare and wonderfully covetable residences that any one of us would be happy to call home. In this week’s Real Realty segment, get to know Davis himself, and you’ll easily see that hard work pays off for a man who does, indeed, live and breathe the business.
YOU NOTABLY GREW YOUR OWN BROKERAGE FIRM, ALLAN SCHNEIDER ASSOCIATES, BEFORE SELLING THE FIRM TO NRT/ CORCORAN IN 2006. CHRONICLE THAT JOURNEY AND SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. They were some of the best times in the market and an experience of a lifetime. We grew the firm from five offices to 12 offices over a 15-year time period and hired and retained the best talent in the brokerage industry. Many of the top producing agents in the region worked with us, and some still work for Corcoran today.
YOU’VE BEEN WITH CORCORAN FOR OVER A DECADE NOW. WHY IS IT THE PERFECT FIT FOR YOU?
The sale to Corcoran was strategic. They have a strong infrastructure, which includes support and staff, both in technology and senior management. A strong referral network was also very important to me, along with a powerhouse anchor in New York – two key components for developing a network with markets that feed in and out of the Hamptons.
CORCORAN GAVE ALL OF ITS BROKERS A WORD THAT DESCRIBED THEM PERFECTLY. WHY WAS ‘COMMITMENT’ YOURS?
My 38-year career speaks for itself in that way, as I have proven this to my clients and customers over the years. I am committed to honoring their interests and shepherding Compass Superstar, Jane Doe

them through a transaction which is often one of the most important in their lives.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAS TWICE NAMED YOU THE NUMBER ONE BROKER IN THE HAMPTONS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO EARN SUCH AN HONOR? Living and breathing this business 24/7 and believing in yourself. It also takes being an expert in the market and retaining the year after year data. I’m often asked how do I remember this or that? Who owned this home and that property, the historical nature of the real estate evolution on the East End. I’m an expert at one thing – the Hamptons real estate market. Timing and some luck helps too.
WHAT ARE SOME HALLMARK PROPERTIES YOU’VE SOLD THAT STAND OUT? From the early days, the Stone house on the ocean in Montauk and the West Banks subdivision when it was sold in foreclosure through North Fork Bank, to the “Westerly” estate and “Wooldon Manor,” both in Southampton, and each of which I sold twice. Also, several oceanfront homes on Further Lane, each of which has a story behind it. I could write a book…
WHAT CAN SELLERS AND BUYERS EXPECT AS A SIGNATURE TIMOTHY DAVIS TOUCH? My personal attention to every detail in the overall marketing and the presentation is evident and
recognizable.
HAVE YOUR METHODS CHANGED SINCE YOUR EARLY DAYS IN THE BUSINESS? IF SO, HOW? One needs to stay relevant in a changing environment and adjusting with the times is critical. Staying true to your client and using the same basic sales skills for retaining and recruiting new business doesn’t really change.
HOW DO YOU PREDICT THE LUXURY REAL ESTATE MARKET WILL SHIFT OUT EAST?
The highest demand for the best location and setting will continue to be the driving force. Record prices for the most unique building sites and waterfront settings, whether
ocean or bay.
YOU HAVE TAKEN TO UPDATING YOUR AUDIENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHANNEL FOR THIS FORM OF MARKETING AND WHY? I like using Instagram, as it is easy to use and has immediate response. It helps me to convey some personality and allows me to share some of my private life with the audience. It all requires balance though.
YOU RECENTLY HAD YOUR FIRST GRANDCHILD. CONGRATULATIONS! IS IT HARD TRANSITIONING WITHIN A DAY FROM ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL REAL ESTATE PLAYERS IN THE NATION TO GRANDPA ON DEMAND?
My granddaughter will call me Poppy, and it is an awesome experience. My wife of 36 years and I are fortunate to have three wonderful boys (now young men) aged from 22 to 28. Our middle son got married at our home last June, and we are blessed to have this beautiful little girl nine months later in our life. When asked if there was anything missing in my life? My answer has always been having had a daughter. Now I have the best of both.
WHAT’S YOUR ELEVATOR PITCH TO A PROSPECT THINKING ABOUT CALLING YOU TO REPRESENT HIS COMPOUND ON THE EAST END? My commitment to providing the best marketing plan and helping that seller achieve the highest possible price in the market.
ANY ADVICE TO REAL ESTATE ROOKIES?
Find a mentor and work with that person. Listen and learn. Follow the advice. There are no short-cuts and you cannot start at the top.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE PLACES TO RELAX IN THE HAMPTONS?
Where we built our family home “Davis Creek” in an exceptionally beautiful setting, with spectacular west facing waterfrontage and views of tidal creeks, marsh, and the Peconic Bay.
ANYTHING YOU’RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IN THE UPCOMING 2018 SEASON?
“I am committed to honoring their interests and shepherding them through a transaction which is often one of the most important in their lives.”
It’s long overdue! Seriously, the weather has been terrible and we are looking forward to the warm weather and enjoying the natural outdoor environment here on the East End. The U.S. Open Golf Championship will be a great kick off to summer, which will bring a great burst of energy.

REAL ESTATE NEWS By Rick Murphy DURANT MYSTERY HOUSE REVEALED When Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant became a free agent, he wanted an anonymous property to conduct his search for a new NBA team. He told agents he wanted a 10-day house rental in the Hamptons that offered privacy and proximity to East Hampton Airport. Several important guests would be visiting. He found a suitable house, but not before the seven-footer had to pass on several older homes because the door frames were too short to accommodate Durant and his unidentified visitors. The rest is history. The visitors turned out to be future teammates of Durant’s — players from the Golden State Warriors. After their visit, they became known as “The Hampton Five” and they indeed convinced Durant to play with them. The next season The Warriors won the NBA title, and the team is in the finals again this year. Durant paid $100,000 for the 10day rental. This week it was learned the property was 189 Further Lane, a five-bedroom, 7400-square-foot estate one block from the Atlantic Ocean, down the road from Jerry Seinfeld. It’s on the market for just under $15 million. Sotheby’s has the listing.

HAMPTON SUN BRINgS HOmE THE SCENT Of SUmmER By Jessica Mackin-Cipro Hampton Sun, the well-known suncare line, was inspired by the beaches of the East End. The company’s signature scent, Privet Bloom, was created to evoke the spirit of the Hamptons. Privet, which can be found lining many properties, blooms once a year in the early summer. The recreated scent captures of the aroma of the blossoms, mixed with the natural sea spray and dune grass of the nearby beaches. Hampton Sun calls it The Scent of Summer. Recently, Hampton Sun launched a home fragrance collection. Indy sat down with company founder Salvatore Piazzolla to get the low down. wHaT INSPIRED yOU TO CREaTE a HOmE fRagRaNCE COLLECTION? Since the birth of Hampton Sun, the community has always commented on how beautiful the scents of our SPF products were. It only felt natural for our next step to be launching a perfume. Since then, Privet Bloom became the number-one selling fragrance of the Hamptons. It has always been our vision, being we are a lifestyle brand, to create this home collection, which we are launching now. We have a candle, room spray, and diffuser. For the body, a shower gel that is really exfoliating and a body lotion that is very hydrating without the greasy feel, all with the captivating fragrance of Privet Bloom. TELL US a LITTLE aBOUT HOw yOU CREaTED THE SCENT Of SUmmER. One of the biggest things I focused on when we started Hampton Sun in 2005 was a signature scent. It had to smell like we were in the Hamptons. When my fragrance house asked what we wanted, the only thing that came to mind was the privet hedge in bloom. It reminds me of riding my bike to the beach and smelling the little white flower buds that bloom for two to three weeks in the summer along the way.
wHaT PRODUCTS aRE INCLUDED IN THE HOmE COLLECTION? DO yOU HavE a favORITE? For the home we will have a candle ($38), room spray ($42), and diffuser ($50). They are a great way to transport yourself to a summer day in the Hamptons with the ocean breeze blowing through the privet blossom hedges, passing the soft white flowing curtains, and into your home — no matter the time, day, or place. My favorite would have to be the room diffuser. It gives any room the constant fresh scent of Privet Bloom. I use the candle in the evening to illuminate my home, set a tranquil mood, and relax. wHaT aRE SOmE Of yOUR favORITE PLaCES ON THE EAST END? One of my favorite places is Coopers Beach. My perfect summer day would start by waking up, having coffee, going for a swim in the pool, and catching up on emails and Instagram @hamptonsun. On the weekends, I then head to the beach. Coopers is my beach. I get there at 11 AM or so, and just relax for a few hours. Then visit with friends, whether it be a backyard barbecue, at a restaurant (my favorite place is Tutto il Giorno in Southampton), or attending a stylish Hamptons party. I mostly love to enjoy the Hamptons fresh air and the sunny beaches with friends and family. For more info visit www.hamptonsuncare.com. @hamptondaze Jessica@indyeastend.com
It is almost indescribable. My fragrance guy from New Jersey, being unfamiliar with the scent, joined us out here to capture it. It’s a fresh, clean, memorable scent. It’s well balanced, not overpowering, with notes of white hyacinth, jasmine, lily of the valley, sea spray, and dune musk. c-29

Arts&Entertainment jazz began even earlier, “when we were in the third grade watching a Chips Ahoy TV commercial . . . and the soundtrack of Benny Goodman’s ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’ came on.”
Soon after, they found inspiration listening to Ellington, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Charlie Parker, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Billy Strayhorn — unusual, to say the least, for adolescents, given not only the sophistication of the music, but the accompanying lyrics. New York beckoned and they bit, attending Juilliard together and studying with the legendary saxophonist Joe Temperley, who had played with Ellington, Woody Herman, and Buddy Rich. Today, they are pleased to count among their inspirational friends Wynton Marsalis, who heads the jazz programs at Lincoln Center.

June Jazz Jam On Job’s Lane By Joan Baum
On a stop on their U.S. tour, acclaimed 30-year-old jazz saxophone and clarinet virtuosos Peter and Will Anderson, identical twins, will be swinging at the Southampton Performing Arts Center on June 2, once again demonstrating why they continue to garner spectacular reviews from mainstream media, fellow artists, and music critics. Juilliard-trained masters of the American Song Book and bop, the brothers perform and arrange all manner and degrees of jazz — the standards and their own compositions. Over the years, the brothers have also learned how to “play” their audiences with showmanship and charm.
Oh, the places they’ve been, the meccas they’ve played — clubs, universities, concert halls — including The Blue Note, Lincoln Center, Smalls, The Village Vanguard, 59E59, and The Kennedy Center, not to mention
major jazz festivals in over 40 states, and tours in Japan. The accolades keep coming: they just picked up a prestigious Bistro Award for 2018 for “outstanding performances” and for doing “something special” in their music field. They’re young, but they started young. They were nine and living in Washington, D.C. with their parents, who obviously noticed their unusual proclivities and encouraged them.
Where most other kids might listen to, love, and even play more ageappropriate funk, the Andersons were given recordings of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong. And when they were 14, their parents took them to The Village Vanguard in New York, where they heard the late greats Cedar Walton (piano, drums) and Jackie McLean (alto sax). They knew immediately that kind of music was what they “wanted to do for the rest of our lives,” they said. Actually, their connection to
Of course, one question is inevitable because the Andersons are identical twins who play the same instruments. Can audiences tell them apart?
Some people, the brothers note, can indeed. Peter tends to play tenor sax and clarinet; Will, alto sax, clarinet, and flute. And Peter is right handed; Will left. Both brothers live in Manhattan, when they’re not adhering to an insanely busy travel schedule. Peter is married, Will, single, and neither has kids. What they share, though, what they’ve always shared, is passion for America’s unique contribution to the world of music: jazz.
Although their appearance at the Southampton Performing Arts Center on June 2 will feature pieces from the American Song Book, Will and Peter will offer little known pieces as well by Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Jimmy Van Heusen, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, and Hoagy Carmichael, because they want audiences to appreciate a composer’s style, which isn’t necessarily gleaned from the more familiar tunes.
Ellington, for example, evolved over the years, moving from recognizable traditional works to some truly “modern avant garde” classical — symphonies, opera.
engagement delights them because they love the East End, first performing out here at Guild Hall in 2014. They find the audiences out here “very savvy” and they’ve made “many friends . . . and connected with many jazz enthusiasts,” they said.
Among those, count drummer and jazz series organizer Claes Brondal, of Sag Harbor Bay Burger fame, who will join the Andersons on stage along with some old Juilliard buddies, Tom McEvoy on piano and Clovis Nicolas on bass.
They last played with Brondal at Bay Burger in 2016, and at SHPAC in 2017. Of course, East End jazz lovers who have been dropping in at Bay Burger on Thursdays at 7 PM know what to expect — some of the smoothest sounds and most startling subtle rhythms and harmonies they’ll ever hear. Expectations notwithstanding, humming’s not only not advised, it’s not even possible, given Peter and Will’s dazzling, surprising arrangements. The show will preview their month-long appearance in August at Symphony Space in the city, but you can hear it all here first.
Live from SHPAC: Peter & Will Anderson. 25 Job’s Lane. Saturday, June 2, 7 PM. Reservations a must. The performance will be preceded by a complimentary sangria and small bites half hour, courtesy Union Cantina. $20. Visit www. southamptonartscenter.org/event for info.

Reporting From Broadway // Isa Goldberg In keeping with Disney’s romantic storytelling, there’s a prince, Hans ( John Riddle). But in this modern-age saga, Hans is a total sociopath, seducing Anna then locking her in the palace, with the aim of taking over the crown, and making her beloved Arendelle his own.
Frozen, Mean Girls, And More #MeToo Women’s empowerment, and the multitude of issues surrounding it, sparked the imagination of Broadway musical writers this season. Frozen and Mean Girls, in particular, reflect the impact of #MeToo, and the proliferation of women demanding that their voices be heard. Both of these musicals are about sisterhood, in its various guises. And they are each based on stories written primarily for girls and teenagers.
Based on Disney’s animated movie, Michael Grandage’s production of Frozen mines the story of two young women, heirs to a throne left vacant by the early loss of their parents. Princess Elsa of Arendelle (Caissie Levy), and her younger sister, Anna (Patti Murin) create magic, face mayhem and political subterfuge, and ultimately find reconciliation.
Indeed, Frozen’s Broadway success also rests on its star power. To that end, Caissie Levy, singing “Let it Go,” Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez’s Oscar-winning tune, truly speaks to the range of a young woman’s power. Jennifer Lee’s book, based on the movie which she wrote, and derived from Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen,” tells a woman’s story in which the stakes are risky and the journey dangerous. Whether or not it rivals other popular musicals, with male heroes — be they the constitutional authors of 1776, or the revolutionaries of Les Miserables — is the issue. To achieve that kind of heft, the physical production moves from extravagantly dramatic and foreboding to surprisingly comic, to intimate, and even realistic at times. Converting a gargantuan cavern into an ice palace, sending nearly nude sauna bathers cavorting through a wintery mountain retreat, are among the standout scenes.
The most eyepopping, however, is Elsa’s split-second costume change (Christopher Oram, designer) in which she swirls out of her royal gown into an ice-blue party dress mid-song. Elsa is making waves as the first Disney princess to

wear pants on stage — although Princess Jasmine of Aladdin wears Arabian pantaloons.
In the musical Mean Girls, Tina Fey’s stage adaptation of the popular teen movie which she wrote and co-starred in, a clique of teenage girls eventually gets their come-uppance. Their hateful agenda and bitchy deeds, reflected in tweets and social media posts projected on the walls of the set, speak to the current fashion of trolling and generally treating people horribly.
In the musical, as in the movie, the characters are stereotypical exaggerations of those behaviors. Taylor Louderman’s Regina is a control freak who, faced with a near-death experience, discovers a shard of kindness within herself. And Erika Henningsen’s Cady, the role played by Lindsay Lohan in the movie, starts out as a good girl. But she falters at the pressures of popularity and boy-girl relationships before she arrives at a sense of personal dignity. Glaring bold pink is a thematic presence, too, in the set by Scott Pask and costumes by Gregg Barnes. In Casey Nicholaw’s production, the behavior is hormonally edgy, the action peppy. It’s all in your face. But the cautionary tale it relates, about the pitfalls of girlish rivalries, competitiveness, and bullying resonates with everyone.
In a season that delights in cartoon characters, and cartoonish imagery,
Independent/Joan Marcus
Mean Girls leads the race in the New Musical category, running neck-in-neck with SpongeBob SquarePants, each with 12 Tony nominations.
Gender and class also feature widely in the classic Lerner and Loewe musical My Fair Lady, currently in revival at Lincoln Center’s Vivian Beaumont Theatre. In keeping with the times, the production places Eliza Doolittle at the front and center of the production. As portrayed by Lauren Ambrose, this Eliza acts out of her own will, and she enforces it. Helmed by Bartlett Sher, a group of Suffragettes find their way through the center of the production, literally and figuratively.
Women characters who actually have depth may be hard to find in many a musical, or play, but The Band’s Visit, my personal favorite for the season’s best new Broadway musical, paints a picture of two broken characters, an Israeli café owner, portrayed beautifully by Katrina Lenk, and an Egyptian band leader, played with an understated eloquence by Tony Shaloub.
That is really stretching the boundaries, isn’t it! A romance between two emotionally real and vulnerable adults, from two conflicting cultures, set to the music of ouds and violins. It makes the sounds of war, that now riddle us daily, feel unnecessary, and even stoppable.

earnest with the publication of her novel, Victoria.
The novel was a success, but the “Masterpiece” series is an honestto-goodness blockbuster, one of the highest-rated PBS shows in over 20 years. Although the show’s fans cross all lines of gender and age, it has resonated deeply with young women.
“Someone asked me if I was writing a feminist show,” said Goodwin. “To be honest, that hadn’t occurred to me, but having seen the reaction, I realize that any show that puts a young woman at its heart, where she has all the power, is a more radical act than one might imagine,” she said. “I think that queens have the power to change people’s perceptions of women in power, certainly that was true in the 19th Century. Here was a woman, the head of state, who got married and had children while she was on the throne. She was the first person to do that, and I think that contributed to a profound change in the way women were perceived.”
Although a fan of the monarch and how she navigated the mores of the day, Goodwin does not yearn for the Victorian age. One takeaway for her — “It’s made me very grateful to be alive today and not then! Imagine having nine children, not out of choice, but because you had no access to contraception. Poor Victoria loved her husband, but she really didn’t want to spend all her married life pregnant.” If she could change one vision that people have of Victoria — besides the old-woman-in-black image — it’s the queen’s reputation of being a second-rate parent. “She gets a bad rap as a mother, but I think that’s the misogynistic hand of history,” said Goodwin. “She expects her children to step up to the plate and woe betide them if they don’t.” “It’s such a relief to read about a working woman who isn’t fretting about whether she is spending enough time with her children,” she continued. “She loved them, sure, but she didn’t dote.”
Speaking of motherhood, Goodwin’s daughter, Ottilie Wilford, is a script editor on the show, and has penned two of the episodes. And much of the show revolves around Victoria’s dysfunctional relationship with her own mother, the Duchess of Kent — a controlling German woman who forced her daughter to sleep in the same bed with her until the day Victoria was named Queen of England.
HE'S A ROCKSTAR!
Has the experience been a positive one for Goodwin and Wilford? “It’s been a real treat, for me anyway,” Goodwin said. “Ottilie is a wonderful writer and I have learned so much from the way she approaches things. It can’t be easy writing alongside your mother but she is very tactful — she didn’t get that from me!”
Goodwin is an occasional visitor to the South Fork and a past participant of the BookHampton summer reading series, where she discussed her novel The American Heiress, which chronicles Newport debutante Cora Cash, who traveled to England in the 1890s and bagged herself an English Duke.
Goodwin’s take on the Hamptons? “It’s divine. I first visited when I was 18 and I just couldn’t believe how tidy it all was. I love swimming in the ocean, even though I have had to be rescued a couple of times,” she said, laughing. “You have fab lifeguards.” So, what’s coming up this season for Victoria and Albert? “Revolution abroad and turmoil at home, domestic and otherwise. More children, obviously, and a surprise addition to the family. Plus, the Great Exhibition, which is Albert’s great contribution to British history,” she said.

Oliver! It’s A Fine Life By Bridget LeRoy
The North Fork Community Theatre in Mattituck is celebrating its 60th season with a series of blockbusters and bringing Lionel Bart’s classic musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist
— Oliver! — to the stage is no exception.
If, like me, you go into the theater singing all of the songs, you are in for a treat. From the first entrance of the workhouse kids with “Food, Glorious Food,” until Fagin’s last
lines, Kelsey Cheslock’s direction moves the show at a clipped pace, perhaps because some of the numbers have been shortened. The show relies on strong performances from its four main characters and NFCT did not
disappoint. First and foremost, Jenna Wolf as Nancy, the wench with a heart of gold, sings perhaps the theater world’s most codependent power anthem, “As Long As He Needs Me” with all the gusto and emotion needed. Her other numbers, “It’s A Fine Life” and “Oom-pah-pah,” were also performed with great enthusiasm. There’s no getting around it: Wolf is blessed with a great set of pipes. We hope to see more of her in upcoming productions.
Michael Hipp is back at NFCT as Fagin, the leader of a band of young thieves, which he portrays with relish. Originally written by Dickens — and performed by the indomitable Ron Moody in Bart’s original London production — as a Jewish caricature of a moneyhungry crook, it’s been dialed back repeatedly from the time of Clive Revill’s Broadway portrayal until now. All that’s left are a few violin notes and a bit of cantor-like singing. And now Ice Cube is slated to play Fagin in the Hollywood remake. How far we have come. Continued On Page B-34.

outfits and dialogue as shiny and glossy as the pages.
From my present-day perspective, the perfect ensembles read like costumes and this idealized way of life feels so foreign, it’s the pleasantly empty aesthetic that keeps me coming back. Compare your studies in New York to Florence. I would say the biggest difference is the pace of the two places.
Florence was a great opportunity for studying art history, experiencing another culture and way of life. While there, I spent more time at museums, piazzas, and churches, studying the art and religious objects. Back in New York, the creative pace of my colleagues kept me on my toes and positively molded my studio ethic as a working artist. Follow @Lizzie.Gill.Art
CIARA RAFFERTY Have you worked with lizzie gill before? Lizzie and I met at the Get with the Program 2017 group show opening at Roman Fine Art last fall. I was instantly a fan of her work and was thrilled to have the opportunity to show with her again. Describe the psychology of perception. What we look at effects our mood and interpretations. I always joke that I have chronic FOMO, because beautiful scenes often make me sad. Personally, something beautiful acquires sadness the moment I realize it is transient. Faced with a beautiful landscape/ cityscape, I am aware of where I am, but perhaps more so of where I was, and therefore where I am not. I am reminded of what I am missing and a sense of loss and nostalgia lingers. I think a lot of the retro imagery I rely on evokes a similar feeling. How has Brooklyn inspired your art work?
Living and working in Brooklyn and NYC has afforded me the opportunity to be surrounded by a melting pot of artistic talent in all styles, mediums, and genres. Seeing how other people are participating in the contemporary art scene and what is being represented in the galleries keeps me up to speed and motivated to keep up.
Describe your artistic process. The subject matter arrives in a variety of ways. If I have a specific idea in mind, I will seek out imagery that fulfills certain criteria. Conversely, I often run across imagery that ignites an idea, and I then start manipulating the image to support that instinct. In both cases, I play with an idea in Photoshop to nail down composition and color choices to prepare for the third iteration, which is the final piece.
In all three stages, adjustments are made that lead to the final product. The resulting spaces are meant to be real in the sense that they actually existed, but are combined with fictional, futuristic elements which underscore the intent: a space, that in its original conception was meant to be quite modern and forward thinking, but quickly dissipated into an antiquated remnant of its time period. What imagery of the past captures the essence of the ’50s/’60s era? Americana. Particularly signage and advertisements. Whether it be for bowling alleys, hotels, motels, Coca Cola, candy bars, cars, bars, strip joints, etc. The neon signs and posters all have this optimistic sentiment, even when they are portraying something seedy.
using images of yesteryear, describe how you would portray yourself? I grew up in a beach town in San Diego, [born] to Irish immigrant parents, so I have always been drawn to surf culture with a flair for folky-ness. Images for the old surf movies like Beach Blanket
Summer Solstice Lizzie Gill. Bingo and Endless Summer and a mix of Roy Orbison fashion, and hairdos with the laidback ways and sounds of Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson are all images that come to mind. Why does this era capture you so much? Everything seemed so raw and easy. It was less about showing how you were living in the now and more about actually living right now. There was an ever-present sense of pride that seemed to exist.

A Taste Of Porto And so, we arrived in Porto . . . and we were famished. We parked across from our Airbnb and strolled to a little corner restaurant where we had one of the simplest and best meals we had in all of Portugal, at the tiny Aquele Tasco, where we would have returned if they had only been open. We wandered a bit on Porto’s busy pedestrian shopping street, lined with many businesses we could find in the US, but also full of vendor carts and local businesses.
One cart caught my eye, and I decided to buy a new wallet . . . it was one of the many items on the cart made primarily of cork. And since it was only the first place of many, we concluded these were Portugal’s main products, all highly desirable commodities. We also saw a lot of beautiful tile work. One stunning church was entirely clad in blue and white tiles. And Porto’s Sao Bento train station is rightly famous for the historic scenes depicted in similar blue and white tiles designed by artist Jorge Colaco. Twenty thousand tiles chronicle Portugal’s past, including its royalty, its wars, and charming scenes of everyday life. Colaco worked on this masterpiece from 1905 to 1916. It is a don’t-miss feature of Porto!
Then it was time to explore Porto’s main claim to fame. We climbed aboard a funny little train and bounced over Porto’s cobblestone streets, onto a bridge across the Douro River, to learn about port wine at the warehouse and showrooms of Real Companiha.
Oak barrels for aging the finest ports, at Real Companiha, in the area where port wines are warehoused.

Our little train held us and a French family, and when we arrived at the showroom, a guide who spoke French greeted them and one who spoke English met us.

We discovered that we had many incorrect ideas about port wine. The most interesting fact was that white port gets darker as it ages and red port grows lighter with time. Hence, tawny port actually has the highest quality rating of all the reds. (One bottle, incredibly well-aged, was for sale for a mere $2000.)
And the best grapes, for the finest ports, are still crushed with the feet. Our guide described the process, which is a highly choreographed dance of sorts, with a leader guiding rows of people in a very specific pattern to achieve the best quality ports. Why feet? Because feet do not crush the seeds, unlike machinery frequently used to make wine. Hence, feet are still very important for most authentic and finest port wines. That night, we walked down to the riverside for dinner at Vinhas D’Alho, recommended by the young lady who had checked us into our Airbnb. It was an excellent recommendation. We

Outdoor Gallery welcomes summer By Nicole Teitler
After a quiet season, the Montauk Village Green will once again come to life with paintings and people this weekend, at the 10th Annual Montauk Memorial Day Weekend Show on the Green. The Montauk Artists Association hosts the annual outdoor gallery event, at which guests can explore original, handmade artwork from artists hailing from across Long Island, New York City, and other U.S. locales.
Ron Mellott, Treasurer of the Montauk Artists’ Association Inc. said he has seen the show evolve. “It has emerged as one of the finest art shows on Long Island. It attracts incredibly talented artists, many returning each year with new art. Though each year the event always includes new artisans from around the nation, showing uniquely different bodies of work, wonderfully creative artistic visions, and spectacular talents. It is an ever-changing though always beautiful tapestry of artwork,” said Mellott. With the continued support from

the East End arts community as well as an influx of holiday weekend visitors, Mellott expects a great turnout for the event, which will help kickoff the busy season.
“We are grateful each year to meet people exploring art and experiencing that unique connection between themselves and what artists create. It is our hope that for decades to come, this Memorial Day Weekend Show on the Green will continue to flourish for artisans, new visitors, and the upcoming generations to come explore and discover art,” Mellott added.
The Memorial Day Weekend Show on the Green will be held Friday, May 25, through Sunday, May 27. The free event will be held on the Village Green in downtown Montauk with hours of Friday noon to 6 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 10 AM to 6 PM.

Other fun turns include Rick Peters as Beadle Bumble (“Boy for Sale”) and Kimet Speed as Mrs. Corney (“I Shall Scream”), along with Matthew Orr and Michaal Lyn Schepps as the Sowerberrys, the undertaker couple (“That’s Your Funeral”). Andrew Lenahan is a suitably creepy Bill Sikes, and Kierra Prentiss does a bit a wonderful scene-chewing as the dying Old Sally, who provides the truth (as if we didn’t already know) about Oliver’s pedigree.
Karen Peele Hochstedler must be mentioned as the musical director, doing a bang-up job as usual. Bart’s music and lyrics are some of the most complex in classic Broadway history, especially in songs like “Be Back Soon” and “Reviewing the Situation.” Kudos to Hochstedler and Hipp for churning out wonderful versions of these two Fagin showcase tunes.
Now, NFCT, we need to have a serious talk. Pull up a chair and look me in the eye. Stop fidgeting! Listen — you need a sound system.
“Over the last decade, we have captivated audiences with some of the most incredible storytelling and know that our 10th anniversary continues that tradition,” he continued.
Following the screenings, Baldwin and HIFF Artistic Director David Nugent will lead conversations with filmmakers and subjects, including Marina Zenovich, director of Robin Williams, Dava Whisenant, director of Bathtub, and Cameron Yates, director of Chef Flynn, along with the film’s subject, celebrated chef Flynn McGarry. “Between our SummerDocs program and the outdoor Summer of Spielberg program at the Southampton Arts Center, our audiences will have much to choose from,” said Nugent.

Maybe it was okay 60 years ago, when people had those big old horns they could stick in their ears and whatnot, but it’s 2018.
You’re mounting a big campaign now to update the building. Fingers and toes are crossed that the renovations include some form of microphones, whether they be downstage, hanging from the flies, or cleverly concealed in actors’ bosoms or beards. I’m sure there’s some A/V senior at one of the local schools who’s itching to run the board for you. Aside from the occasional fumbled opening night line and perhaps a bit too much concentration on the young actors’ faces during some of the bigger numbers, Oliver! continues to deliver a fun, exciting piece of Broadway (and Victorian) history to audiences on the North Fork and beyond.
Oliver! runs through June 3 with performances on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 PM, and Sundays at 2:30 PM. For more information and tickets, visit www. nfct.com.

During the mission, the team brought equipment and set up three modern, fully functioning operating rooms. “We experienced many miracles such as this: A woman in labor was facing a near-death situation. She could not deliver her child, and its heartbeat had stopped,” Allam said.
“Our team performed a C-section to save the mother, and then performed CPR to bring her baby girl back to life. It was a heartwarming moment witnessing the look on the mother’s face as she heard her child cry for the first time after entering the world,” he added. The foundation also constructed a five-bed modern recovery room and a three-bed ICU, with two ventilators, patient monitors, and two EKG machines.
The team brought six patient transportation stretchers, 10 wheelchairs, hundreds of blankets, linens, and gowns, disposable medical supplies for 500 operations, hundreds of pieces of clothes and shoes, educational materials, and 2500 mosquito nets for orphans and poor families.

Operation International Returns From Uganda By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
“For us, the best medicine is celebrating the joy of life,” said Medhat Allam, MD, the cofounder of Operation International.
Operation International, a foundation headquartered in Southampton, has just returned from a very successful medical mission to Rakai, Uganda. In Rakai, a population of almost 500,000 must rely on a single local hospital
that employs just four physicians.
The foundation is a humanitarian organization founded in the 1990s by Allam and Robert Mineo, CRNA, who aimed to offer medical aid to adults and children suffering from the lack of quality healthcare in more than 23 impoverished areas within Africa, Asia, and South and Central America. During each medical mission, they offer on-site education and training to local
health care workers.
This time around the team of physicians, nurses, clinicians, and volunteers helped more than 350 impoverished adults and children. They delivered $600,000 worth of medical equipment and supplies and visited three orphanages.
“Our medical mission to Uganda was very fulfilling for our entire team,” said Allam. “As part of our mission to save as many lives as
Other highlights from the trip included a greeting at the airport by Uganda’s Minister of Public Services, meeting the Queen — who gave flowers to team members in appreciation of their work — and a visit with the King of Kooki, who paid tribute to the team on his birthday.
A Crowdrise page has been set up as the foundation prepare to send two more teams to the area this year. The goal is $100,000 for a functioning ambulance. All funds raised will go directly to this cause. Visit https://www.crowdrise. com/o/en/campaign/ambulanceneeded-for-hospital-in-uganda. For more info, visit www. operationinternational.org.

the work by hand.
“Of course, we do have the special Bridgehampton loam here on the South Fork, which is a fantastic foundation for our high end Perle Chardonnay and the Christian Wölffer Cuvee Merlot. The elegant, yet concentrated style that we are able to make separates us completely from the more alcoholic wines of California and makes us stand up to the best wines from France,” Roth explained. The busy season for a winemaker is mid-September through Thanksgiving. Roth recalled when Christian Wölffer would invite the entire cellar crew to a celebratory dinner at his house which, Roth said, “turned into a bacchanalian feast.” Though tradition has changed, Roth still takes his team out to dinner, followed by bowling, to toast the conclusion of another successful year.
Independent/Wölffer Estate
mEEt yOur wInEmAkEr: rOmAn rOth By Nicole Teitler
Wölffer Estate is a family owned and operated, sustainably farmed vineyard in Sagaponack led by the curious mind of winemaker and partner Roman Roth. As the vineyard’s first winemaker, this career was more than a desire for the German native, it was a calling.
Roth was raised around fine wine. His father was a winemaker in Germany and created a home filled with creativity and passion, said Roth. During holidays and birthdays, his parents would host elaborate parties. On such occasions, an almost comedic competition would arise between Roth’s mother, his brother, who inherited the family wine merchant business, and himself — a trinity of wine collectors. Each would go to their section of the family wine cellar and choose a bottle of higher quality and price. Round after round, glass after glass, a bigger name and older vintage ushered a riveting rivalry surrounding the dinner table with good food and laughter, all culminating in singing old songs
into the night.
Roman draws inspiration for his work from wineries throughout the globe that he’s visited. At the young age of 16, Roth began his three-year apprenticeship at the Kaiserstuhl Wine Cooperative in Oberrotweil, while attending technical school in Heilbron.
During the summer of 1986, he traveled to Carneros, CA, where he began working at Saintsbury Estate and soon fell in love with his future wife, Dushy, in Hollywood. His travels then took him to New South Wales, Australia and back to Germany to work as a winemaker at Winzerkeller Wiesloch in Baden.
winemaker at Wölffer Estate Vineyard. Roth recalled, “He told me that I can buy whatever I need and do whatever I want . . . Well, it worked. It’s been 27 vintages now!” Defined at “the East End appellation,” the maritime climate of the North and South Forks remains moderate year-round, allowing the fruit to ripen into the fall months without jeopardizing the delicate sugar/acid balance, and creating food-friendly wines. Wölffer’s team aims to do most of
“Don’t go into the wine business if you don’t love people. You have to love pouring wine, talking about wine, and thinking about wine morning, noon, and night, seven days a week, in order to become successful,” Roth noted.
This season, try pairing a Wölffer Perle Chardonnay with striped bass, roasted local potatoes, fresh corn, and an heirloom tomato salad. Wölffer Estate Vineyard is located at 139 Sag Road in Sagaponack. Call 631-537-506, visit www.wolffer.com, or follow @ wolfferwine for more details.

“It would be boring to taste only wine from one region. That would be like listening to only one type of music,” said Roth. In 1992, he received a Master Winemaker and Cellar Master Degree from the College of Oenology and Viticulture in Weinsberg. It was that same year that he joined Christian Wölffer in New York as the premier

Quiet Clam 2.0 chef E. Matthew Chapelle spent six years at the East Hampton Grill before moving to the Service Station, where he worked with owners Michael Gluckman and Shane Dyckman for about a year. Before migrating to the East End, Chapelle had cooked on Martha’s Vineyard, in West Palm Beach, and in Philadelphia. A few months ago, after a battle with the town and, in particular, with code enforcement, Gluckman and Dyckman sold the restaurant lease for Service Station. Gluckman and Dyckman had undertaken a massive renovation of the restaurant’s interior, the results of which remain relatively untouched.

The Quiet Clam 2.0 By Hannah Selinger
On Saturday, April 28, East Hampton made way for another 2018 restaurant opening, The Quiet Clam 2.0. Housed in the former Service Station space on Montauk Highway, the restaurant identifies itself as “seafood-centric,” reviving the spirit of a previous incarnation. The original Quiet Clam opened in 1977 and operated within the same space, until that spot became Nichols in the late 1990s and, later, Service Station. The Quiet Clam 2.0 will be open year-round for
Wholesale 725-9087 Retail 725-9004
lunch and dinner and will also offer brunch service on weekends.
The restaurant is still awaiting a liquor license, but, in the meantime, its owners encourage patrons to bring their own alcohol, posting on Facebook, “We welcome and encourage BYOB. Glasses of all kinds, garnishes, etc. are all provided and no corkage fee!”
Following the departure of Service Station, the Fischer family, which has owned the space since opening the original Quiet Clam, purchased the lease back. Tom and James Fischer, two brothers whose father, Ira Fischer, owned and managed the original restaurant, are now in charge of the new restaurant’s operations. Chef Chapelle helms a kitchen he helmed before, then, which has an interesting backstory to it. Because some customers remained unaware that Service Station would not be reopening, they expressed regret at the loss of dishes they had fallen in love with. Nostalgia was thick, too, for those who remembered the
original Quiet Clam (it closed in 1998).
“I wanted to bring back a couple of Service Station items,” Chef Chapelle said. He also mentioned that he had considered the requests of old Quiet Clam patrons who missed their old tried-and-true favorites. In homage to the original restaurant, the Quiet Clam 2.0 serves, as a special, a crab cake dish that is reminiscent of the one served two decades ago.
The outdoor space at the restaurant’s front, which abuts Montauk Highway and was a matter of much debate between the Service Station owners and code enforcement, will eventually be converted into a lounge, where patrons can bring their drinks and enjoy a moment outside. The space is protected from the highway with tall perennial plantings, creating an intimate garden feel. Food, however, will not be sold or consumed in this space. Currently, the Quiet Clam 2.0 serves lunch daily from 11:30 AM to 4 PM and dinner daily from 5 to 9 PM on weekdays and from 5 to 10 PM on weekends. In the summer, these hours will be slightly expanded, with dinner service running until 10 PM on weekdays and 11 PM on weekends. The restaurant currently has plans to remain open year-round, with altered hours. The Quiet Clam 2.0 is located at 100 Montauk Highway, East Hampton, 631-324-4447.
A liquor license is forthcoming and should be implemented within the next few days, at which point patrons will have to pay a small

Top 5 Holiday Weekend Dining Spots By Vanessa Gordon
Navigate the Hamptons food scene like a pro with my five favorite spots, from the best in al fresco dining to where to sneak off in the early AM for the best coffee! The American Hotel This Sag Harbor restaurant has so much character and OldWorld charm. The bar is one of my favorites in the Hamptons; I could sit there for hours mixing it up with talking to neighbors and reading. I love to drink tea and play backgammon in the lounge during the afternoons. It’s the perfect B-40
escape. I love to do brunch on the front patio. Jack’s Stir Brew Though most known for its Amagansett location, I frequent its Sag Harbor coffee shop as it is within easy walking distance to the Long Wharf and Marina. I always love to grab a honey latte or cappuccino before going sailing in the mornings, or after a workout at the nearby gym. Saaz This Southampton restaurant is one of my favorite places to stop
on my way out from the city. Its lunch buffet is one of the best deals around. My favorites are the korma curry and the mango chicken. For dessert, order a traditional Indian gulab jamun, a spongy dessert soaked in rose scented syrup. Lulu Kitchen & Bar I would come to dine at Lulu, in Sag Harbor, every day if I could. I love to sit next to its open kitchen that is anchored by the wood burning grill and oven. My top choices are Lulu’s grilled heirloom cauliflower, which can easily be split among four people, and the Trufata pizza.
East Hampton Grill A staple dining spot in the Hamptons, it offers some of the best service and is highly regarded among residents and visitors alike. Go for its heavenly rosemary biscuits with honey, and for me, it is always a tossup between the barbecue ribs and crab cakes. Either way, I know I will have a substantial portion to take home with me for the next day. Vanessa Gordon is the founder and publisher of www.eastendtaste.com. Follow her @EastEndTaste.
Recipe of the Week // Chef Joe Cipro oven and peel away the skin.
Now that the oven is free, turn it up to 350 and roast the shrimp shells for 10 minutes. While the shells are roasting, mill the peeled tomatoes through a food mill and set aside.
Grilled Shrimp Pasta With Summer Squash INGREDIENTS (serves 4) 1 lb large shrimp (shell on) 2 carrots, peeled, chopped 1 onion, peeled, chopped 4 stalks celery, chopped 1 bay leaf
1 clove of garlic, sliced thin 3 Tbsp olive oil
1 sprig of thyme
5 ripe plum tomatoes 1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 bulb fennel (chopped) 1 large zucchini (diced)
1/2 c Panko bread crumbs 3 Tbsp chopped parsley 1/4 c white wine 4 Tbsp butter
1/2 lb dried linguini pasta
Salt and pepper to your liking
Now, in a large sauce pot, heat two teaspoons of the olive oil and gently sauté the garlic, onion, celery, carrots, and fennel bulb. You want them to soften and release flavor without caramelizing and adding color. Once they are soft, deglaze the pot with the white wine. Let the alcohol burn off for about 30 seconds, then add the shrimp shells, milled tomato, and tomato paste. If this is not enough liquid to cover the vegetables, add a little bit of water until all the stock ingredients are just covered in liquid. Put a lid on the stock pot and let simmer for three hours.
Once the stock is finished, strain it into a smaller sauce pot and reduce by half over a medium flame, stirring often. Once it’s reduced, season to your liking. At this point, we are ready to finish the dish. Turn your grill on high heat and toss the shrimp in one tablespoon olive oil, then season (you can sear the shrimp in a sauté pan if you prefer).
are nicely toasted, set aside on a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Now, in a large fairly deep sauté pan, sear the squash in one tablespoon olive oil, add the reduced stock, and mount in the remaining two tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Strain
the pasta and add it right to the sauce, then in with the shrimp and cook three more minutes, while stirring, until the sauce thickens to a nice consistency. Use tongs to gently and beautifully plate the pasta in even portions, finish with fresh chopped parsley, and your toasted Panko bread crumbs and enjoy.
Cook the shrimp on high heat, about 30 seconds each side. You don’t want to fully cook them just yet; the idea is to get a nice char on the outside. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta, stirring often, for eight minutes. While your pasta cooks, melt two tablespoons of butter in a sauté pan and toast the Panko bread crumbs over medium high heat in the butter, constantly stirring until they are golden brown. Once they

The Big Duck met food trucks last weekend, sort of.
The Flanders, Riverside, and Northampton Community Association held its annual food truck festival, drawing hordes of hungry comfort food aficionados to Flanders, just down the road from the large fowl at the corner of Flanders Road and Bell Avenue. A deejay spun tunes while festival-goers gorged on burgers, tacos, loaded fries, and funnel cakes. Those with any energy left after eating checked out the kiddie rides, rock wall, and games of chance.

Shuko Beach will be operating Friday and Saturday evenings, beginning Friday, July 6, through Friday, August 31. In August, Thursday night service will be added. Helmed by two Masa alums — chefs Nick Kim and Jimmy Lau — Shuko received a three-star review from The New York Times’s restaurant critic Pete Wells in 2015. Kim and Lau were also nominated for a James Beard Foundation “Best Chef: NYC” award in 2018.
Guests who reserve one of the three nightly seatings (6 PM, 8 PM,

Director Steve Ringel calls it, “One of the most exciting stores I’ve seen,” and he isn’t exaggerating.
It’s for kids of all ages, and merchandises trendy and unique toys and gifts. The Petit Blue motto is, “Where dreams come true” and, for a kid, it truly must look like heaven on earth.
The big news out in Springs is that East Hampton Point, the place for waterfront frozen drinks and upscale local fare, is leasing to another familiar establishment, Moby’s. Though hardly as venerable a tradition as The Point, which has hosted many local marriages, Moby’s has a track record here as well. There was a Moby Dick’s on Lake Montauk earlier in the decade, and a Moby’s on Pantigo Road at Springs Close Road. One principal in the firm said the food would be coastal Italian cuisine. The lease is for at least two years.
Aerin, an upscale home décor store, is opening on Newtown Lane with much anticipation. After all, Aerin’s grandmother Estée knew a little something about beautiful things.

Girls ensembles feature large prints with fruit like lemons and watermelons, ice pops, and brightly-colored frocks with tropical flowers, as well as tie-dye fashions.

few dollars?”
Beach Open? Kinsella said that although Deepwater assured the ocean beach would remain open after Memorial Day, the language used by Deepwater in its submission to the trustees isn’t nearly as ironclad or reassuring. For example, Clause 3.2 (c) reads: “Other than temporary closures for purposes of safety or in connection with pulling the HDD conduit offshore, Developer will maintain public access to the Beach during the full period of the construction within the grant of the Beach Lease.”
But, as Kinsella points out, “No notice is required before ‘temporary’ closure of Wainscott Beach. There is no limitation on the duration of each beach closure or the number of beach closures.” Neighbors along the route of

in April the company was provided a proposal, in which Fly Blade would take over the bookings and buy the “entire commuter inventory” at about 70 cents on the dollar, allowing Fly Blade to control the bookings and seats. “Had we agreed to work with Blade, there would be no guarantee that our long-time passengers would continue to get preferred access to our flights, and no way for a customer to be sure that they would be placed on a Shoreline aircraft and not an aircraft operated by another of Blade’s providers. We declined the offer. We further informed [Cindy Herbst] that if she worked with Blade, we were done,” Kelly stated. He said the company offered to buy Herbst out “at a price above the asset value, but worth cost,” and she did not answer the offer, but instead “stalled for time to answer.” By late April, Kelly states, customers began calling Shoreline to inform the company that they
the cable burial could find the procedure a lot more annoying than Deepwater lets on, critics charged. The cable would run from Beach Lane north to Main Street, east to Sayre Path to Wainscott Stone Road onto Wainscott-Northwest Road, and then proceed along the LIRR right of way to the PSEG substation, buried using a method called Horizontal Direct Drilling. Deepwater Wind said it will use, “reasonable efforts to comply with the town’s daytime sound requirements.”
“Installation of the HDD conduit may be performed on a 24x7 basis,” Deepwater wrote in a letter to trustees. Kinsella said that really means the noisy process would be unyielding day and night. “They could have gotten the cooperation of the people of Wainscott if they had take a transparent approach to this,” Kinsella said. “But they didn’t.”

were unable to book seats for the summer. When his staff asked Sound what was transpiring, they refused to comment, and later a scheduled mailing with coupons was cancelled, according to Kelly’s letter.
Independent/Valerie A. Bando-Meinken The Independent’s own Justin Meinken graduated on May 18 from Manhattan College in Riverdale, NY, earning a Bachelor’s in Communications with a major concentration in Journalism and a minor in Environmental Studies. Justin was among roughly 1000 graduates from the School of Liberal Arts, School of Science, School of Engineering, School of Education and Health, and The O’Malley School of Business.
Shoreline, which has been in business for 38 years, was able to “scramble” to set up its own reservation system and was running within a couple of days, according to Kelly’s letter.
When contacted for comment, Kelly reiterated a concern in his letter about longtime customers not receiving the same kind of service under the Blade app. “This was merely a booking arrangement which just wasn’t working anymore,” he said.
Sendleski said he does not expect there will be an increase in traffic under Fly Blade’s new agreement with Sound.
“They are a crowd-sourcing charter company that basically tries to fill every seat. That doesn’t mean they are going to try to add additional flights,” he said.

Nasty hedge fund guys hopping off their own planes with a jaunty, arrogant strut. They have so, so much — why don’t they look happy? . . .
The worst of the hedge fund guys is a creep who has earned the title “the neighbor from hell” from those who live near him. Some day he will figure out that the size of his house won’t add anything to the size of his penis . . . Get used to having the subject turn to Trump at every dinner party. Want to do a good deed? Set aside $5 every time you hear someone say “Trump” and at the end of the summer send the money to The Retreat, a domestic violence service in East Hampton that helps people dealing with domestic abuse . . .
Chubby people in their 50s wearing cut-off jeans and T-shirts with dumb inscriptions . . . Bike riders testing your driving skills and nerves on Further Lane . . . Dumb drunks who should know better, aiming two-ton cars at innocent people. We need
more Saturday night inspection roadblocks in the Hamptons. We need police cutting drunk drivers’ licenses into little pieces right before their eyes . . .
Three-charity, multi-party nights where the same 50 people jump from party to party. A conversation starts at one party and finishes two parties later. It doesn’t matter, nobody’s listening . . .
Undressing at night, reaching into your pants pocket, and yelping as a cocktail toothpick is embedded in your palm. Check your blazer pocket, and you’ll find a half-dozen cocktail toothpicks and God knows how many cocktail napkins . . . Enjoying a beach party on a moonlit beach while keeping a close eye on the little kids as they watch the marshmallow on the end of the branch they’re holding go into a raging bonfire and magically turn from a white little pillow into a brown caramelized treat . . .

Bluefish, nutty as fruitcakes, following their prey right into shore, right to their doom. Overhead, gulls fly in lazy circles, taking it all in . . .

Basting your children with suntan lotion with the same care you give your Thanksgiving turkey . . . Lost sunglasses, flippers, goggles, youth, bathing suits, nose clips,
romance, boogie boards that you never seem to find again . . .
Falling into a 20-something hot new place in Montauk, feeling age-challenged, and realizing for the first time in your life you don’t belong . . .
The Artists and Writers Annual Softball Game, where for a few hours the players can live out their childhood dreams of being Mickey Mantle. Watching guys who 20 years ago used to huff, now puff as they round the bases . . . The Sunday night Land Rover/ Mercedes/BMW parade on 27 . . .
Feeling disappointed and awed at the same time as you see the first beautiful monarch butterfly of the year. They only seem to show up on the last week of August . . .

Town Hears Gabrielsen Bistro Proposal
By Jade Eckardt
Riverhead Town Board members, during a work session on May 17 discussed a special permit application for The Glass Greenhouse and Farm Market located at 1350 Main Road in Jamesport.
Greenhouse owner Walter Gabrielsen attended the meeting with attorney Jaret Weber to address his special permit application to turn 4.4 percent of the 5000-square-foot, two-story, Glass Greenhouse into a 225-squarefoot bistro with 15 seats. Ninety-four new parking spots were included in the plan. Gabrielsen said the bistro would be a family eatery, selling homemade soups, sandwiches, and salads. He said the order-at-the-counter bistro would not offer table service or sell alcohol. The Glass Greenhouse opened in late 2013 and currently functions as a farm stand. Greg Bergman from the planning department noted that the venue is “currently operating in a manner which exceeds the town code definition of a farm stand.” Bergman also stated that the town currently has pending litigation against Gabrielsen due to a farm stand code violation for selling products not produced regionally or
on site.
Bergman said the proposal of a bistro isn’t out of character for the area, it’s not unreasonably close to schools or churches, and that the lack of alcohol made it more feasible. He added that it would need approval from the Suffolk County Department of Health and Wastewater Management and the Food Control Unit. “The biggest thing is the ongoing litigation with the owner and I wonder if it will ameliorate or exacerbate the situation,” said Weber.
In closing, the board agreed to have a resolution prepared for the next meeting to schedule a public hearing for the special permit application on the condition that no site work be commenced until Gabrielsen receives site plan approval.
The Riverhead Town Board’s meeting on May 16 included a public hearing for the purpose of the proposed increase and improvement of the facilities of the Riverhead Water District. Specifically, the board considered a budget increase for the construction of a new groundwater storage tank at Plant 15 on Tuthills Lane in Riverhead at a maximum cost of $4.3 million. In attendance were Supervisor Laura

Jens-Smith, Councilman James Wooten, Councilwoman Jodi Giglio, Councilman Timothy Hubbard, Councilwoman Catherine Kent, Town Clerk Diane Wilhelm, and Town Attorney Robert Kozakiewicz. John Collins, deputy department manager of water resources at engineering firm H2M, was in attendance with Mark Conklin of Riverhead Water District.
“As this resolution states, we’re here to ask your approval to increase the expenditures for the ground storage tank at Plant 15 from $3.4 million to $4.3 million,” he said.
Collins recalled that the duo had stood in front of the board in March 2017 seeking approval on three projects for $5.5 million. He said that as of today the first two projects had been completed. “Now that two are done and we’re in the process of the third we need the board’s permission to increase bonding by $75,000,” he said.
As Supervisor Jens-Smith closed the public hearing, she said, “I’ll leave this open for written comment until Friday, May 25.” Also at the town board meeting, members considered permits, budget raises, and adopted resolutions
relating to road resurfacing.
Town Clerk Diane Wilhelm delivered current financial reports including Tax Receiver total tax collection as of May 2 at $91,602,699.94; Tax Receiver total tax collection as of May 9 at $96,030,445.80; Tax Receiver utility collection report for April at $283,044.93; and the Town Clerk April monthly report at $10,425.09. “The 2017 annual financial report and justice court independent accountant’s report have also submitted,” Wilhelm said. Wilhelm also noted that the board had a thank-you letter from a resident regarding snow removal last winter, seven letters in response to the Q&A hearing for Calverton Aviation and Technology, and three letters regarding issues to neighboring buildings from building construction on East Main Street in Riverhead. Event applications for the board to consider included one from the Combined Veterans Committee for the annual Memorial Day Parade on May 28, and the Riverhead Community Awareness Program’s annual “Say No to Drugs” parade on June 1.

Get ready to eat, drink, and be merry. The 10th annual New Suffolk Chowderfest returns to Peconic Bay on Saturday, May 26, from noon to 3 PM. The waterfront gathering offers not only a variety of locally-made chowders, but children’s activities and face painting, raffle prizes, a classic American barbecue lunch, beer and wine, and 50 varieties of perennials for sale. Live music will be played by local neo classic rock band, Who Are Those Guys?

preserve and improve the historic property, which stakes claim to being the home to the United States’ first submarine base. Tickets are $5 for children six to 11, $25 for 12 and up, and free for children under five. They can be purchased at www. newsuffolkwaterfront.org or by calling 631-566-0806.
Parking for the event will be available at Wickham’s Fruit Farm in Cutchogue, and a shuttle will bring guests to the Chowderfest. A rain date is scheduled for May 28.

Tickets are available for $50 each at Founders Tavern, Southold Pharmacy, Polywoda Beverage, The Old Field Vineyard, and the North Fork Shack.
You can always purchase one by emailing jfouchet@optonline. net. Only 200 tickets will be sold with first prize being $3000 and second through fifth prizes at $500 each. The drawing will be held on Wednesday, May 30, at Southold Elementary School. railroad fundraiser The community is coming together to help the Rotary Club of Greenport and the Village of Greenport, who are spearheading the rebuilding and revamping of the Greenport Express, a miniature railroad that was run on the property of resident Frank Field for many years. After the train retired from Field’s property, it was not maintained. The Rotary Club will purchase the train and build a station house with public restrooms on land donated by the village off of Moores Lane to share the family friendly railroad with the community.
The first fundraiser for the project is a concert on Sunday, May 27, by The Fast Lane, featuring the music of Tom Petty and The Eagles. The concert will take place in the Greenport High School auditorium. Tickets are $40 to $50 and available at www. greenportrotary.com. yard sale Save the date.

We must by all means protect ourselves from criminal behavior, but the abridgement of civil rights of the alleged offender in this case, and so many others, should give every American pause. Whether or not we agree that an undocumented person, paying taxes and contributing to our community, raising a family, is a criminal, [it] is for the courts to decide, not an administrative branch of government, the legislature, or a Twitter account. Worse, creating, enhancing, and perpetuating the climate of fear described by Ms. Perez, that prevents a significant, rich, and mightily contributing portion of our community from standing up for their inalienable rights when they are assaulted or abused, too often by employers, but more by the members of their own community or ours, is a stain upon our nation’s honor. I agree we have a broken
immigration system, and we absolutely need to fix it to remain the truly great country and people we are. But, I am also forever grateful that it was less so in my parents’ and grandparents’ lives, or I wouldn’t be here to express these thoughts.
Recall, fellow citizens, that unless you are of Native American descent — and consider their histories — our families all came from somewhere else, however long ago.

Then And Only Then Mr. Murphy,
I just read your immigration story. The issue incenses me because it is so dishonestly and disingenuously argued. I am waiting for the day when an advocate like Minerva Perez (who looks like she’s posing for a fashion magazine) to stop silly, clueless arguments like the complaint it is costly for illegals to get stopped for driving without a license more than once (!). So, in her world, it is quite OK to

Have the glamorous Perez sit down with some real research in order to find out just how much illegal immigration is costing the US taxpayer nationwide: education, food stamps, incremental crime to and including murder (incremental means that if they weren’t in the USA illegally, the crime wouldn’t have happened in the first place), medical treatment, offsetting welfare costs of those dispossessed out of jobs by illegals replacing them, court system burdens, ICE cost burdens, border defense costs, “programs” for day care and afterschool care, MS-13 related program costs (such as the one announced by Cuomo), etc.
Then add up the benefits, but before you do, make sure you account for how much money gets sent back to Mexico, et al, some of which finds its way into the hands of those
who aid and abet the manufacture and distribution of illegal narcotics — which impose increased costs besides those described already.

School Days // Submitted by Local Schools Nubile, a network and systems technician, and Aura Gomez-Tagle, an engineering management major at Stony Brook University. Via live broadcast, participants also communicated with students from across the country as well as USA Paralympian Katie Holloway, who shared a message about overcoming adversity and the road to resiliency. Riverhead Central School District To better serve their school’s bilingual student body, members of Riverhead High School’s student newspaper, The Riptide, are working to offer their online publication in Spanish as well as in English. With that goal, the students created a Spanish version of the Wix website they launched in November, which they plan to populate with Spanish translations of their articles.
“They are working to translate all of the articles themselves,” said advisor Samantha Mallahy. On average, The Riptide maintains a staff of 10 students, who contribute articles on a variety of topics. Freelancers, including student-athletes, who cannot attend weekly meetings, provide sports content and photos. To read The Riptide online, visit www.rhsriptide.com.
In other school news, eight Riverhead High School students participated in an empowering and motivational Girls Power Tech Day at Miller Place High School on May 3.
During the inaugural event, sponsored by Eastern Suffolk BOCES’s Suffolk Regional Information Center, Cisco Systems, and Million Women Mentors, the students were inspired to pursue careers in information and communications technology through hands-on activities and engagement with industry professionals. Students heard from several presenters, who spoke about the various obstacles they had overcome. Among them were Dr. Heather Findletar Hines, an assistant clinical professor, Anne
The workshop culminated with a circuit building competition in which students worked in groups to construct an electrical device. Tuckahoe School District Tuckahoe middle school students, along with their teachers, had a delicious and healthy treat on April 19. Experts from Cornell Cooperative Extension and Stony Brook Medicine, as well as The East End Farm to School Project, created two delicious snacks for Tuckahoe’s middle school students.
Locally grown baby spinach, prepared with tangerines and a lemon dressing, was a new vegetable to many of our students. They also tried baked pita chips with a pesto dip, which was a huge hit. Staff and students alike hope to see it on the school lunch menu.

The program will vastly expand science research opportunities for high school science students. As part of the workshop, to be held June 25 to 29, Gobler and her students will take part in lectures and hands-on training related to sample preparation, data collection, data analysis, x-ray microspectroscopy, and microdiffraction.
With the training, the students will be able to submit a proposal to BNL to use the National Synchrotron Light Source-II with BNL scientists to further study dinosaur bones that they collected during a 2017 middle school

RICK’S SPACE
That was low class.
Like Animals There is a certain stigma to being a first-generation American kid growing up in a small town, especially when your parents speak broken English and struggle to give you what the other kids have.
Sound familiar? It was that way in Sag Harbor when my mom went to school in the late 1920s and 1930s, when the population of Sag Harbor swelled with first-generation Italians whose parents had come to the tiny village to live with cousins and find work. She remembers the other kids saying their ancestors came over on the Mayflower. “I always wondered how so many people fit on such a little boat,” she said. It was their way of saying the newcomers had no taste, no social standing, no class.
Lattanzios, Trunzos, Schiavonis, and many others set anchor here and eventually prospered, and those names are prominent today. But we were the lower class back in the day, in a strange country we didn’t understand. My grandparents, Fillipi and Enrico Forcucci, were proud, hardworking people, and my mom was pretty and smart. But she saw firsthand how cruel the other kids could be to the Italians. One boy, charged with cleaning out the

Papa remembers being called an animal because the Italians could only afford the cheap cuts of meat.
My mother’s most vivid memory of those days were the weeks after Papa slaughtered a pig and butchered it, freezing as much as he could for the coming winter. He would use most of it: roasts, chops, sausage. We still have the sausage grinder.
He would carefully slice the meat behind the pig’s hind legs and begin the arduous process of curing it, salting it, and aging it. That’s where the embarrassment would come in — it hung on ropes attached to the rafters in the big upstairs bedroom his three daughters shared, because that was the best place for the hams to age. We know it as prosciutto, a delicacy that has become quite popular. To a little girl, it was pig flesh, pervading her every breath, a symbol of the crude, uneducated, filthy immigrants some in the village called animals. It sickened her, literally. More than once she begged Papa to throw it out, which infuriated him and strengthened his resolve.
Here’s my recipe pairing prosciutto with another strong-smelling food Mom hated, Gorgonzola cheese. Brown about three-quarters of a pound of prosciutto slice by slice, turning once, until it is firm and crusty. Remove from pan and chop coarsely. Sauté a chopped garlic clove and a couple of chopped shallots in olive oil until soft and add a pint of half and half and a cup of peas. Cook until tender. Meanwhile, have a pot of linguine going. Place a stainless steel bowl on top of a pot of boiling water. Drop a glob of the Gorgonzola into the bowl and it will begin to melt. Add a helping of linguine, using tongs, and mix. Add a ladle of the liquid. Toss in a pasta bowl and add a heaping tablespoon of
If you really want to be decadent, pick up a tartufo or sfogliatella for dessert.
This is a dish enjoyed in the finest restaurants in the world. Yet a century ago, it was peasant food, and new arrivals to America were embarrassed to be seen eating it because the locals made fun of the smelly concoction. Animals.
But weren’t the smart ones the ones who served it before it started costing $27.99 a pound? They knew what was enduring and good, not what was trendy or popular. When you think of it, that’s the definition of class.

Whalers, Baywomen Keep On Truckin’ By Rick Murphy
Memorial Day is coming and that means parades, barbecues, and Pierson/Bridgehampton baseball.
Might as well put it on the calendars — the Whalers will make the playoffs, and they will make trouble. This year’s team is one of the better ones to come down the pike. The trouble is, all four teams

in the Suffolk County Class C tournament are dangerous. Witness the May 17 affair between Pierson and Stony Brook. The Whalers (19-2), the top seed, had the best record in League IX but Stony Brook, seeded fourth, boasted the league’s top pitcher, Joe Wozny, and he was rested and ready. But Pierson’s Tyler LaBorne is no slouch either, hurling a complete-game, one-hit shutout
at Mashashimuet Park, as the Whalers prevailed by the slimmest of margins, 1-0. The locals scored without benefit of a hit to secure the win though Wozny, who yielded only two hits, stymied the Whalers for most of the game.
The victory gave the locals a leg up on the county C championship but by no means clinched the doubleelimination tournament. Next

The Mattituck Tuckers (12-9) are also used to the travails of postseason action. The locals, perennial Class B championship contenders, kicked off their playoff run by beating Babylon 3–1 on the

loser’s field. Bryce Grathwohl went 3-for-4 for the Tuckers, the third seed. Brady Mahon added two hits and scored twice. Sam Dickerson earned the win, striking out seven in the process. Mattituck played Center Moriches on May 22 and, win or lose, both teams will remain alive in the double-elimination tournament. The Southampton Mariners made an improbable run in the Class A playoffs. Jem Sisco hurled a onehitter as the 11th seed upended Mount Sinai 3-0 on May 14. But the locals lost to Sayville 5-2 three days later. The Mariners were to face East Islip on May 21 with their season on the line. Baywomen Surprise It was supposed to be a short stay for the Hampton Bays softball team. Instead, the locals are packing their bags and planning some extensive traveling. The odyssey began May 14 when
Hampton Bays (the eighth seed) knocked off Westhampton, (seeded ninth) in an outbracket game. And then the unthinkable happened: Hampton Bays went to East Islip and knocked off what many considered one of the top teams in the county, East Islip. The Lady Redmen (the school is located on Redmen Street), now 16-4, are the defending Class AA champs and were expected to dominate in Class A this season after dropping down. And they have dominated — until the Baywomen won on May 18, 6-4, behind senior Emma Candelaria’s pitching.
Candelaria also had the game’s biggest hit, driving in two runs in the top of the seventh including, fittingly, her younger sister Lily Candelaria, a sophomore. Emma also put out a fire in the bottom of the last inning to secure the victory. Both teams are still alive and may

face each other again. Hampton Bays, 13-7, plays at Miller Place, the fourth seed, on May 22. East Islip plays fifth-seeded Islip the same afternoon.
Mercy and Southold will play the

Chip Shots // Bob Bubka Byron enjoyed the most. In fact, according to Peggy, Byron was far happier with the knowledge that he defeated Ben Hogan in the annual caddie boxing tournament.
The Royal Weekend On a weekend when British royalty and the wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle was on full display, I had the pleasure of spending time and lunching with a member of golf ’s royalty, Peggy Nelson, the wife of the late Byron Nelson, commonly known as Lord Byron.
For the younger set, Byron Nelson is considered one of the seven greatest golfers of all time. On that list with Nelson are Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, and Ben Hogan. It is interesting to note that Nelson, Hogan, and Sam Snead were all born in 1912. Just think — three of the seven greatest golfers of all time all born in the same year. During my lunch with Mrs. Nelson, I learned things about Byron I had not previously known. Ironically enough, Byron and Ben Hogan were caddies at the same golf club in their early days. Peggy said that most people felt that Byron’s win in the caddie tournament with Hogan in the field was the caddie moment
Byron Nelson’s greatest year was 1945, when he won 11 consecutive tournaments, establishing a record that will never be broken. He also won seven more times that year, making it a whopping 18 victories in one season, another milestone that will never be eclipsed. But what is also widely unknown is that in Nelson’s record year, his tournament winnings amounted to only $55,000 and most of that was in war bonds that required a sevento-10-year waiting period.
I also learned that all of Nelson’s accomplishments were in jeopardy of never happening. Byron’s mother had a rough time in the delivery room, with Byron weighing in at over 12 pounds. Labor had gone on for such an extended period of time that the doctor’s attention had shifted to keeping Byron’s mother alive. According to Peggy, after Byron was delivered, he was just placed on a table and was presumed dead. Peggy went on to say that it was Byron’s grandmother who came into the room to comfort her daughter and happened to notice baby Byron moving ever so slightly and announced that he was still alive. It was only then that the doctor’s focus shifted back to the newborn. I’m sure Mrs. Nelson was tired of my many questions, but she certainly wasn’t tired of talking about her late husband, Lord Byron, so I asked her to share something that wasn’t common
knowledge.
She said that the last time Byron played in an exhibition it resulted in quite a chuckle. Peggy said Byron was asked by a charity if he would play with the three highest bidders. He readily agreed because it was for a charity he supported and he believed strongly in giving back.
appearances was at least $2000 but, being the kind gentleman that he was, he rationalized that whatever was raised was for a good cause. As happy as the royal couple must be, they certainly couldn’t be any happier than I was after spending so much time with Peggy Nelson.
Byron showed up at the course to meet the three players who had successfully secured him as a member of their group. But much to Byron’s amazement none of the three had ever played golf. What a foursome — three first-timers playing with one of golf ’s greatest of all time. Needless to say, it was a long day for Nelson.
It was what happened next, Peggy said, that made Byron chuckle. As the group was saying their goodbyes, one gentleman told Byron that they had a wonderful time and that it was well worth the $250 that they had paid. Byron’s going rate at that time for charity

Your engine doesn’t even have to be the one that is on. Your neighbor at the dock has his generator on to power the A/C — and his exhaust is wafting into your cabin.
Also, it could be your engine, but you think that you are immune because you haven’t enclosed your cockpit. You have only enclosed the windshield and side panel areas, leaving the aft wide open . . . well, called the “station wagon effect,” rict Captain, Sector Long Island South, D1SR an area that is enclosed on three United States Coast Guard Auxiliary sides creates a vacuum behind it as it pushes ahead — and it is sucking hip of this column is available.

Close the door, start the car, and wait for a precious few moments. For many of us, that is all the thinking we ever do about carbon monoxide poisoning — which can be fatal. Of all the dangers that the mariner confronts, carbon monoxide poisoning is perhaps the most dangerous since it is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Unarmed, you will never see it coming. Given its dangers, please read on. What Creates Carbon Monoxide? Burning hydrocarbons, plain and simple. Diesel, gasoline, propane — all are hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide is a natural by-product of burning them. You cannot tune your engine not to create CO. You can create CO-safe environments around and in your boat, but you
And the smell of it isn’t what is killing you. What you smell is unburned hydrocarbons. What you can’t smell is CO . . . What is it and how do you know you are succumbing to it? Carbon monoxide kills you by attaching itself to your blood cells in a way that keeps your blood from picking up fresh oxygen as it passes through your lungs. You essentially suffocate slowly while surrounded by air. Little by little, the CO hitches a ride on your blood cells until there are no seats left on the lifesustaining bus (your blood) for the oxygen to sit. As it happens, you start to get headaches, muscle aches, excessive fatigue, and nausea. As I tell my seamanship students,
“If you are starting to feel like you are coming down with the flu, but you don’t have the sniffles, get out of there! You may be dying of CO poisoning!” What do you do now? Say you enter your cruiser, and you find a crew man lying unconscious on the sole of the cabin. The manual actually says that you are first to try to isolate the source of the fumes, extinguish them and proceed to get your mate to fresh air (to start the cleansing cycle of kicking the CO out and replacing it with O!). Here is where I am coming from. This strategy could cause two people to die from CO poisoning, not one. If you know that the only source of CO poisoning is YOUR engine, and you can kill it in a virtual flash, do it — or get out of there immediately and run for help! If you have to play Sherlock Holmes looking for clues, you are playing with your life.
Remember, it could be your slipmate’s engine that is polluting your air. Also, the cabin has built up some degree of CO concentration. It may be a deadly amount and you don’t have a chemistry kit in your pocket. You are gambling with your life.
You certainly can [1] grab a lungful of fresh air from outside, hold your breath and [2] try to drag the person out of the cabin. If you can’t, [3] drop them and run for help. If you can get them out, but they are not breathing, give them artificial respiration (sometimes called CPR) and scream for help between
breaths! How to prevent it? One, create fresh air paths that keep the station wagon effect from overtaking you from behind. Don’t form that cup — crack a window somewhere and create a jet-stream through your boat. Just be aware that running on a “slow bell*” may still create an opportunity for CO to build up in your cockpit.
Two, put carbon monoxide detectors in ALL enclosed spaces, especially sleeping quarters. These devices can be battery-operated and are readily available. They are $29.95 at places like Home Depot, Walmart, the internet, etc . . . There are models that can be tied directly into your battery system like a bilge pump — they never fail unless the battery itself is dead.
I’ve heard these devices. They can wake the dead. Almost. Be aware. Be safe. Always prepared — semper para! * slow bell is putting just enough way on to maintain bare steerage. Back drafting can occur under such conditions — and you’ll never smell it. BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go direct to the D1SR Human Resources department. The folks there are in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing . . .”

Then I came across celebrity trainer Rich Decker one summer morning with Indy’s associate publisher Jessica Mackin.
For some reason or another, we thought it’d be a great idea to do a boot camp class at 9 AM on a Sunday, and he was the trainer. By the end of the hour, I was sore and wanting to do it again. Fast forward to today, and he has turned into my go-to trainer, thus far helping me reach my goals one “Decker Method” at a time. Define the Decker Method. The trilogy of fitness — mind, body, and spirit. I work to improve clients’ functional foundational strength in all areas. It’s the only 24/7, 365 days a year facility on the East End, and the only outdoor fitness obstacle
The Decker Method was originally Studio 89, which I opened in 2009. I’ve been doing fitness and training for 27 years. My ingrain has always been to stay healthy physically and seriously, while helping others obtain their goals of the same desires. I am certified as an American Muscle & Fitness personal trainer, an AMFPT strength coach, Les Mills flow instructor, and in CPR. What’s a common workout mistake people make and your advice?

People lift too heavy and don’t focus on movement to ensure the proper muscles fire.
45 minutes. Less is more. The key really comes down to moderation in all we do.
Talk about the connection of mindbody-soul.
Was there a particular moment that spurred this wellness journey?
The body is the shell to the soul, while the mind is the tool. While using the mind, our subconscious remembers the findings that serve us daily. When we think, we disconnect the feeling that came from the soul. It’s how we feel that we reveal.
My older brother Jay brought me to the gym for the first time when I was 14 years old. Ever since then, I’ve been involved in fitness.
How do you incorporate wellness into your everyday life? I personally meditate daily, maintain a health-conscious diet, and exercise three days a week for

The spiritual journey has been since my mid-20s as life challenged everything about what I was taught to believe. I became aware that it’s not what we’re taught, but what we know. There’s a huge difference, as we are all unique and have our own knowledge. How do you recommend getting the perfect beach body? To get that beach body, amp up your resistance training. We burn more calories lifting weights. Then, on lifting off-days, do fast burn cardio — this is when we keep our heart rate under 80 percent of its max. The formula for that is subtract your age from 220, then multiply by 80 percent. That’s the number you want to stay under.
Eighty percent of your results comes from nutrition. I suggest five snacks meals daily with carbs up until 2 PM, then clean protein — fish, chicken, legumes, and grilled veggies — from 2 PM forward. So,
good consistent exercise and proper nutritional awareness will get you the beach body you desire. And always meditate. With the celebratory weekend(s) ahead, how does alcohol consumption affect our fitness goals? Your tips? While enjoying yourself, stay hydrated. Alternate one drink — one glass of water should do the trick. As for mixers, use club soda, fresh lime juice, cranberry juice. Stay away from sugary mixers. what’s next for decker method? Access to my personal training at the Decker Method is available now for more [people], as I’m opening up to training five clients together.
