The Hammer Falls Montauk Lighthouse, Lake Agawam, Water Mill Green Will Go By Dan Rattiner During the past month, the Town of East Hampton has been struggling to figure out how to make up a $30 million deficit in the budget. It’s a pretty drastic situation. The whole town budget is just $70 million. The deficit built up unnoticed for the past six years. What to do? One solution, also a drastic one, is to sell off some of the public properties the town owns. Three weeks ago, the town proposed to sell off two boat launching ramps in Montauk, a property known as the “summer house” overlooking Town Pond in Montauk that local school children use, the
recently purchased former Boys and Girls Harbor Camp and 45 wooded acres near East Hampton Airport.
items should bring in a cool $5 million all together. This goes a long way toward closing that yawning deficit. The Montauk Lighthouse will be sold. It will be the most important item on the for sale list and since it was built in 1796 by order of George Washington it should have considerable value. The first $900,000, a tidy sum, will snatch it up. Another item on the menu is the Georgica Association on Georgica Pond and along the Atlantic Ocean in Wainscott. The 16 summer mansions on the 100 acres have always been thought to have been owned by the Board of Directors of the Association. Thus the Private Property Do Not Enter sign at the entrance to the private road. But it turns out that due to a clerical error, the property is still owned by the Town, retained since those long ago days when there was a communally-run hog rendering factory on that site. Inasmuch there might be toxic waste under the land there from that long ago enterprise, the Georgica Association will go up for just $500,000, first bid gets it. Town Pond in East Hampton joins the list. It is priced low at $80,000 but that is only because
The Mayor released a list of properties on the market. He expects they’ll bring in a cool $5 million.
Dan Rattiner’s second memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS TOO: Further Encounters with Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities, is now available in hardcover wherever books are sold. The first memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS, published by Random House, is now available in paperback. This Saturday, the author will read two chapters in the town of Southold on the North Fork: Rothman’s Department Store, 11 a.m.; Sparkling Pointe Winery, 12:30 p.m.
A great hue and cry arose from the townspeople when all these things were put up for sale. The launching ramps were soon taken off the market as a result, as was the former Boy’s Harbor Camp. But the “summer house” remains for sale as does the land by the airport. Yesterday, however, the Town Mayor announced that these properties would only be a drop in the bucket toward closing the budget gap. Much larger and more valuable townowned property would have to be put up for sale. And so, late in the day on Wednesday, the Mayor released the list of properties that will now be on the market. He expects that these

there are other benefits that will accrue to the town when this sale goes through, and the buyer will be getting only a small truncated part of the former pond. The federal government has agreed to reconfigure that sharp, 90 degree crimp in the Montauk Highway when that road meets the pond and then runs alongside it. This turn, engineers have calculated, costs motorists a whopping $4 billion a year in delays and wasted gasoline burned while waiting. The turn will now become a gentle, sweeping and very beautiful arc of a road, and to accomplish this, about 5,000 jobs will be created from President Obama’s shovel ready program and for two months the whole place will be torn up. Many of those jobs will fall to local residents. Also, the Feds will acquire a right of way
where this big curve in the road takes place, of course, and they will pay the town $15 million for it. That does reduce the size of the property being put up for sale from 12 acres to 6, but then $80,000 is almost a steal. On the other hand, you’ll have to catch the white swans to get them off your property if you are the winner and that could be a nasty situation. They have a very painful peck. Long Wharf in Sag Harbor will be for sale for $100,000, well, anyway, the eastern half of it. The Town of East Hampton abuts the Town of Southampton right down the center of Long Wharf, and so what the $100,000 will get you is just the eastern half of the wharf as it sticks out into the bay. People will still be able to walk out to the very end of it on the Southampton side,

but it is expected that the new buyer, the brother of the present Mayor of East Hampton Town, will be erecting brownstones along its length, so it will be one half brownstones and one half foot path. The view at the end will remain, but the view walking out to the east will now be blocked by the new residences. But some things just have to go. Other properties to be sold are Mulford Farm (cart away Home Sweet Home) for $140,000, the Amagansett Miss Amelia’s Cottage property for $100,000—“we’ll show those museum big shots a thing or two,” says the Mayor—and the Sagaponack General Store, which East Hampton claims it owns, but was long ago stolen in a bogus deed transaction and carted into Sagaponack Village. It will sell for $50,000 with the buyer taking on the costs of litigation with Sagaponack. As East Hampton sells off these properties, Southampton will join in with some sales too. Their deficit in these hard times is only about $6 million on an $80 million budget, but nevertheless, if they’re going to get rid of some of their excess property then this is the time to do it. First and foremost on the list in Southampton is Lake Agawam, which has been a real thorn in the side of that town since day one. There’s no revenue stream coming in for those who wish to use the pond—it’s all free—but there have been huge expenses. They include dredging, phragmites removal, algae skimming and feeding breadcrumbs to the ducks. “This is a real money loser,” the Southampton Town Mayor Barnaby said. “We appreciate the constant and steady stream of breadcrumbs to the ‘crumbs from the rich’ in the duck subsidiary of ‘Meals on Wheels,’ but it’s still a labor intensive situation to sprinkle it out to them every day.” Lake Agawam will be filled in and the oceanfront side offered up to for residential purchases at $50,000 per 1/4 -acre, 50-foot ocean view lot. The rest of it will be paved over for a muchneeded new parking lot in downtown. If Lake Agawam is a firm item on the new menu of properties up for sale, a few smaller items will be up there also. They include the Town Green in Water Mill—the windmill will have to be carted away, but that is no problem, it can easily be taken off on the back of a flatbed truck. The Mill will be priced at $1 and take it away. The Green at $200,000. “It has great value for its small size,” the Mayor said. “It is, after all, the Town Green. We expect spirited bidding on this parcel.” Finally, there is the Big Duck in Flanders— the 30-foot tall white replica of a duck, built in the 1930s by some batty old duck farmer with a sense of humor who constructed it right on the north side of Route 24 between Hampton Bays and Riverhead. It’s received National Register of Historic Places recognition as has Home Sweet Home and the Montauk Lighthouse, but as they say, that is only a recommendation, that register, and without the money behind it, it means nothing. “Money talks,” said one developer. “As for the State, it doesn’t have a pot to pee in. There will be no defense.”

A Family Tragedy City Slicker Outwits Farmer in Bridgehampton Catastrophe By Dan Rattiner In the spring of 1998, “Red” White, who was then 77, rented one of the small oceanfront bungalows on his magnificent Sagaponack farm to a businessman lawyer named Tony Petrello. Petrello was the Chief Operating Officer and President of Nabors International, a global firm that drills for oil and gas onshore and offshore throughout North and South America. He was also a partner in the Manhattan law firm Baker & McKenzie. He was a good tenant. White was used to renting out these small oceanfront cottages to people. There are six of them running along the ocean for a half of a
mile at the southern end of his potato fields. His father had rented them out, and his father before that had rented it out. They were modest places, but offered some of the most beautiful ocean views imaginable. They still do. White got to know this summer tenant much as he had other tenants. The men hit it off. And in the course of things, White talked a bit about his farm, and his four children. He would leave the farm to them and to his wife when he passed on. It had been in the family since before the Revolutionary War. Petrello offered at that time, in what seemed to be an act of kindness, to write an estate plan for the Whites. He didn’t want anything
in return. But he did want to buy the little summer cottage. He said he would pay whatever it was worth. They got it appraised at $2.1 million. It was not really the cottage that was worth anything. It was the farmland that went with it. Included were 9.6 acres of it. Just a drop in the bucket really compared to the whole length and breadth of this potato farm. White thought it was a good thing to sell this piece off. Like many farmers, he was cash poor but land rich. $2.1 million would go a long way in paying his taxes and supporting the family. The paperwork was signed. It was all very (continued on next page)
JOAN LEARNS WHO HER FRIENDS ARE By Dan Rattiner Joan Zandell Holden is well known in this community as a sort of hub of a large group of friends in the artist and writers’ community. She’s written plays (three were read at Guild Hall), a novel and innumerable articles and commentary, not only for Dan’s Papers but also for other publications. She’s gone through a variety of life changes out here. She’s the daughter of Holocaust victims. She has worked in the media. She was unchar-
acteristically, I thought, a car salesman for the Mini Dealership in Southampton for a while, but she was enthusiastic about it and did the job. Most recently, she was an assistant professor in the writing program at the Southampton College that just got shot out from under her. She’s a very upbeat person. Very nice to be around. Under the circumstances, I was very surprised three days ago to get an e-mail from her with the single word HELP on the topic line. Here is what she wrote.

friendly. I think it is fair to say in retrospect that the Whites chose very poorly when deciding upon a lawyer to review the paperwork. They chose a local man. Some things passed through above the White’s signature that nearly everybody thinks should not have. But White signed all the paperwork anyway. And he got half a million in down payment upon the signing of the contract. The rest of the money would follow shortly when they had the closing, which Petrello assured them would be any day now. But months went by and the closing did not come. At first it was Petrello who put it off. The timing wasn’t quite right. Then the Town was involved, making various demands on what he could or couldn’t do on the property. After three years of this, White was getting
very impatient. He did have the half million in cash. But in the interval, the transformation of Bridgehampton from a farming community to a glittering rich man’s resort was rushing forward. What was worth $2.1 million in 1998 was by the beginning of 2001 worth probably $16 million. And yet, Petrello was still obligated to pay only $2.1 million. That is what he had agreed to in the contract he signed. Finally, a closing day did loom, but White said things had changed because so much time had gone by. The property was worth more. And he wanted to re-open the negotiations. And that’s when the Whites found the first item that should have been in the contract but was not. There was no final date after which the contract would be null and void if not com-

pleted. The fact was Petrello could hold on as the value went up and up, and then at a future date, simply close at the pre-arranged $2.1 million when he had somebody else lined up to sell it to at $16 million. He refused to re-negotiate. After that White filed a lawsuit against him. He said Petrello, in doing the estate plan, was supposed to do only what would be in White’s interests. He wanted the contract ripped up and he’d return the money. They went to court. Petrello won. A contract was a contract. White countersued for fraud. He lost again. And that’s when things really got nasty. Here, in the summer of 2003, White was shown by an attorney examining the contracts a place where White had agreed to allow Petrello “the right of first refusal� on the rest of the farm if it were ever to be put up for sale. That could not be right. Could it? White told his lawyer that he never had any intention of selling. He intended to leave it to his wife and kids. That was not selling. That was just how things were done. Of course he would sign something like that. “I NEVER intended to sell,� he told this attorney. “But that is, in effect, what inheritances are about,� the lawyer told him. White was a farm boy. Petrello, his charming friend, had a BS and an MS from Yale, and a JD at the Harvard Law School. By now he had become a partner at Baker & McKenzie in New York, and he was running this big oil drilling company worth billions and billions, highly valued on the New York Stock Exchange. The battle over all this now continued on for years and years. Rulings were made. Appeals were made. White did not return the half million. He wanted to. But Petrello would not take it. And one week ago, 12 years after all this drama had begun, the matter was finally adjudicated by the Supreme Court. The court ordered the property sold for the original $2.1 million it was bargained for in 1998. With nowhere else to turn, last Thursday, July 8, they had the closing. Petrello—who this year according to Bloomberg received about $9 million in compensation from his oil drilling firm—paid the rest of the money and got possession of the house and its 9.6 acres. This property is today, even in these hard times, worth tens of millions of dollars. The ramifications of this appear enormous. This is a real killing for Petrello. Not just for this small piece of the farm, but for the rest of it. The judge, though confining himself just to the legality of the single contract that he had in evidence in front of him, said the ‘first refusal’ part of it held up. This referred to the purchase of all the rest of the farmland, whenever and if ever it were to be put up for sale. Indeed, on many subsequent occasions when pieces of the farmland were put up for sale, an attorney for Petrello intervened to announce that he would match that sale and increase it a dollar. But White ignored him. Sales were made. White was now approach(continued on page 56)

Deer Seen What I Saw Backing Out of my Driveway in E. Hampton By Dan Rattiner So Chris and I, all duded up for a fundraiser, get into my Tahoe with the fishing pole on the roof rack and headed down the hill toward the street. It is just before sunset. Across the harbor, the sun is setting over the woods of Northwest and the sky is all pink and purple over all the boats. And as we come down, and on our right, through some lilac bushes that line our driveway, we see four large healthy-looking deer galloping around playfully on the lawn there. We are late. I put on my turn signal as I reach the road, and I make the left and drive away from the beautifully landscaped property that is our home. I am also experiencing terror. In the 35 years
that I have lived on this property, I have never before seen a deer, much less four deer. I don’t know why that has been the case. Deer are seen everywhere and anywhere in the Hamptons, and there are two very opposing sides to this story. Those who do not landscape around their homes love them, want to pet them, feed them and give them names. Those who do put in expensive and beautiful flowers and bushes and other landscaping on their property want them poisoned or shot or both. Deer eat landscaping. It’s nothing personal. They are just hungry. In this newspaper, for the first 25 of the past 50 years, I have written loving and passionate tributes to these graceful, Bambi-like creatures. God placed us here. God placed them
here. We must all get along. Who are these cruel people who want them dead? Having never seen deer on my property, I could take this point of view. Tough to get cloven footing on a hillside? Afraid of falling in the harbor? Just never got around to coming here? Also during those first 25 years, I pretty much left well enough alone on our property. I mowed the lawn. I put mats out by the doors so people wouldn’t track in the dirt. In the winter, there was a part of the property where you could sleigh ride. I was a happy camper about all that. But then came—at the insistence of my children who were then teenagers—a swimming (continued on page 40)
A SEGMENT OF VIDEOTAPE I’D LIKE TO SEE By Dan Rattiner I don’t know about you, but what I’d really like to see more than just about anything else this summer is the video taken of Linda Kabot when she got arrested and charged with driving drunk in Westhampton Beach last Labor Day weekend. The press at the trial has seen it. It was reported on in Newsday. If someone would just put this 12 minutes of tape up on YouTube where I could look at it, I would die happy. The issues involved in this just seem so important. Kabot, who was our sitting Southampton Town Supervisor at the time, says this was arranged by someone out to get her. She claims the police were in on it. She says she was not drunk. And she’s spending tens of thousands of dollars fighting it to prove that was so.
In any case, the charge alone, even without a conviction, ruined her political career, and was likely was the development that catapulted the person supposedly out to get her into office and suggests scandal and collusion all covered up by a corrupt police department. The police are trained to decide if someone is driving drunk by their behavior. I think I could decide that too if I was present. I think you could too. Let’s go to the videotape. The camera, on the dashboard of the police car, was pointed at her the whole time. An interesting sidelight to this case is whether or not a member of the police force made a phone call to that other person in the middle of the night after the ticket was written—the other person being our new Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-
Holst—and said—according to Kabot—“We got her.” Or did NONE of this happen, and was this just a routine drunken DWI that happened to involve the sitting Southampton Town Supervisor who was just 90 days away from a tough re-election contest? And the person who is declaring another to be a liar is a liar herself? According to the reports of those who have seen it, the tape begins by showing Supervisor Kabot in her car, pulled over by Officer Ryan Lucas, on the corner of Main Street and Sunset in downtown Westhampton Beach. The officer asks her for driver’s license and registration. While he looks at these documents she says, “I’m Linda Kabot,” which could either (continued on next page)

be a version of “Do you know who I am?” or just the answer to an unheard question. Then she asks if she has done anything wrong. The officer asks her where she had been and where she was going, and she replies she had been to her sister’s house in East Moriches and was driving home to her house in Quogue. She was being pulled over in downtown Westhampton Beach, which is halfway between these two places, because, as she says, she wanted to see “what was going on.” Officer Lucas then asks her to get out of the car and take a few simple tests to see if she can do them. As I said, I have not seen the tape. This is what those in the courtroom who have seen it say. She then takes two of three tests and dur-
