Saving Montauk Light
Montauk’s Lighthouse Scheduled to be Torn Down in the 1960’s By Dan Rattiner The news last week that the federal government has designated the Montauk Lighthouse as a National Historic Landmark brings me to the end of a long story that began almost a half century ago, when I was in my 20s. As it happened, I was privileged to lead a three-year long campaign all those years ago which, in very dramatic fashion, saved the lighthouse from being torn down by the Coast Guard. The order had been given. I stumbled upon it. What happened after that is the story. In early July of 1967, I was sitting in the very first office of what became Dan’s Papers, a street-front store in downtown Montauk, trying to think of something to write for the next issue. It was a Monday. We needed to go to press Tuesday. I couldn’t think of anything—at first. I then recalled reading in Newsday a story about the erosion out at Montauk Lighthouse. The week before, a Coastguardsman had gone out to the front of the lighthouse and, as they did once every year, measured the distance of it Dan Rattiner’s second memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS TOO: Further Encounters with Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities, is available in hardcover wherever books are sold. The first memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS, published by Random House, is available in paperback. A third memoir, STILL IN THE HAMPTONS, will be published in May.
from there to the edge of the nearby cliff. When it was built, that distance was 297 feet. Since the lighthouse was built, the bluff had been eroding at a rate of about one foot or more per year, and it was now around 67 feet. They were losing the battle. I did some mathematics. By about 1985 at that rate, the Lighthouse would be falling over the edge. I wondered if the Coast Guard had thought of this. I could write about THAT. I picked up the phone and called the Montauk
Lighthouse. At that time, the Lighthouse was off-limits to the general public. It was owned and operated by the United States Coast Guard. There was work that the lighthouse had to do to protect our shores. The Coastguardsmen saw that it did it. “Coastguardsman Third Class Collins,” the man on duty answered. I told him what I wanted to write about, and I wondered if there was anything special in the works to deal with the erosion that would, in 30 years, result in the lighthouse falling down. “That’s not our problem,” the Coastguardsman said. “We have orders that the Lighthouse is to be torn down. We are going to build a steel tower100 feet high and 1,000 feet from the edge. The light will be on the top. They are out there surveying for the spot next week. There will be no need for the Lighthouse at all.” I was so shocked I nearly fell out of my chair.
In the next half hour, this is what I learned. The headquarters for the Atlantic Area Coast Guard was on Governor’s Island in New York Harbor at the time. Orders came from there. The Coast Guard was having a budget crunch. They were in the process of abandoning all lighthouses that they felt they did not need. They had just torn down one off the coast of Virginia. Montauk was next on the list. The person I spoke to there read me the brief order authorizing the work. He even gave me the order number. To me, the Montauk Lighthouse was like the Empire State Building. Montauk would be nothing without it. This could not be allowed to happen. I’d have to do something, but what? Certainly I could write about it. I have to say, writing this today, that it is hard to believe that back then, people had such a lack of regard for any history. But it was true. Back then, there wasn’t the slightest interest in preservation or the environment. It was all about business. Also there was a war going on in Vietnam. Later that day, a young railroad buff named Ron Ziel came by my office. I only knew him at this time as someone interested in steam engines and railroads. He’d had an idea. At his house in Bridgehampton he had put a sign on his front lawn that read THE SAG HARBOR AND SCUTTLEHOLE RAILROAD. He wanted to start a tourist train business in the Hamptons. I interviewed Ron about his plan—I would (continued on page 14)

Lighthouse
(continued from page 11)
give him some ink in the paper that next week, and after we were done with that, I told him what was about to happen to the Montauk Lighthouse. I had to do something. “I’ve seen a picture of the Hampton Bays Lighthouse being torn down with dynamite,” Ron said. “It’s at a barbershop I frequent on the wall there. This could really happen.” “I didn’t know there was a lighthouse at Hampton Bays,” I said. “There isn’t now,” he said. The next issue of the newspaper featured a full page photo of the lighthouse in Hampton Bays, called the Shinnecock Lighthouse, being destroyed. You could see a puff of smoke half way down. Below it, the lighthouse was standing straight. Above it the lighthouse was at a 45 degree angle. What a shot. The headline I wrote for this was two words, and the two words were absolutely intended to scare everybody. LIGHTHOUSE DYNAMITED! it read. Here in Montauk, that could only mean the Montauk Lighthouse. In the article, I wrote that this indeed could mean the Montauk Lighthouse. This is what happened in Hampton Bays. I also wrote that the newspaper would be having a protest against this possibility in the parking lot out at the Lighthouse on a Saturday night in August 1967 just after dark at 9:30 p.m. “Bring blankets and lights,” I wrote. “Bring lanterns, flashlights, torches, flaming batons, candles. We need thousands of people up there. We will shine our lights at the lighthouse for 30 minutes.” At this time, I was just a few years out
of college. I had been the social director of my class in college. I knew everything about big events such as this and how to do them. The Coast Guard would not soon forget this protest. The protest occurred on a starry August night. The New York Times wrote about it the next day. They reported that there were 3,500 people there. Indeed I had drummed up a lot of interest in this during the one-month interval between LIGHTHOUSE DYNAMITED and the protest. The Montauk Fire Department was there in case anything got out of control. So were the local police. I had politicians at the event, speaking to the crowd over the firetruck sound system. I had a drum and bugle corps from Amityville. I had a band that played bagpipes. I had a troop of women in costume that threw around flaming batons. During the half hour of the protest, just one snare drum played and everyone was quiet. This was surely one of the most amazing events ever held in Montauk. The result was—nothing. I tried to reach the Coast Guard but got rebuffed, reminded this was none of my business. I said it was my business. In the weeks that followed, I learned an extraordinary thing about the Montauk Lighthouse. I had never known this before. The Montauk Lighthouse had been authorized built by President George Washington. It was the first lighthouse built in the State of New York. How could it not be saved? Still nothing happened. And a year later, we
held a second protest out at the Lighthouse, on the anniversary of the first the year before. The crowd was smaller. The estimates were 2,000 people. And this time something extraordinary happened. At that time, the Coastguardsmen lived in the house that is connected to the lighthouse. (It’s a museum today.) What we saw that night were Coastguardsmen at the windows of their home, shining flashlights and lanterns back at us. They were with us. After this second protest, I got a letter from the President of the Franklin National Bank, which was based in Franklin Square and grew to become the nation’s 20th largest bank. If there were anything he could do about this situation, he wrote, just let him know. It did not pass my notice that the logo of the bank’s name, on the top of the stationery sent to me in his letter, included a sketch of the Montauk Lighthouse, shining a beam out across the land. I wrote to as many people as I could at this point. I got a letter back from Senator Robert Kennedy offering to help and congratulating us for our efforts. I framed this letter. I still have it. More articles were written in my newspaper and in other publications. One day, I was visited by an older couple, Donald and Giorgina Reid. They owned a waterfront home on Long Island Sound in Rocky Point and after one bad storm nearly 10 (continued on page 18)

Montauk’s Cookies Pepperidge Farms Sells Them Worldwide - But Are They Good? By Dan Rattiner I think the Hamptons and Montauk get the short end when it comes to food produced by national brands. With the exception of Pepperidge Farm Soft Baked Montauk Milk Chocolate Cookies, I cannot think of one major brand you might find in stores all over the world that bear our names. Pepperidge Farm Soft Baked Montauk Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies have been on grocery shelves since about 1980. And they are, unlike other Pepperidge Farm cookies such as their cookies from Bordeaux, Milano, Tahoe, Santa Cruz and Chesapeake, really bad cookies in my opinion. Indeed, if you go on Amazon you can
read reviews of this Montauk product. Many agree with me. For example, Amy Steele “quirky mama” who says she lives in Western North Carolina writes this: Pepperidge Farm Soft Baked Montauk Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies, 8.6 oz. “This is the only kind of Pepperidge Farm cookies that I have had in my lifetime that are just terrible. Very strange...the chips are great, but the cookie part of, well, these cookies, have a nondescript, bland, processed/white-sugar taste. No, you cannot compare the taste to a sugar cookie—it’s like an alien’s version of a chocolate chip cookie hastily made in order to use it to lure a human to its/his/her spacecraft.
The brown sugar is just not kickin’ here, so just kick these to the curb.” Years ago, when these cookies came out bearing the name “Montauk” for the first time, I was initially very proud of this. What a great chance to give us a cookie that could invoke Montauk, the sea, the surfers, the Indians, the fishermen, the Lighthouse and the Fishing boats, I bought a bag, ate one, and then immediately called the company and asked them to change the recipe. I told them the chocolate they were using from our internationally known Montauk Chocolate (continued on next page)
WHY DO WE BUILD PLATFORM NESTS FOR OSPREYS? By Maria Orlando Pietromonaco The osprey makes up the family Pandionidae of the order Falconinformes. In plain English, an Osprey is a large bird of prey, and its name comes from the Latin word for “bone breaker.” Ouch! Because they predominantly feast on fish, they take up residence in the wetlands, and since the East End of Long Island is surrounded by water, the ospreys make the North and South Forks their home. According to Roy Latham, who lived on the North Fork and passed away years back, the osprey first arrived in Orient around 1890. They reached their highest population in 1926—32 occupied nests—and in 1956 less than half that number existed. The decline of the osprey was caused by dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane or “DDT”— induced eggshell thinning, which reduced their reproductive output. The breeding population declined from about 1,000 active nests in the
1940s, between New York City and Boston, to an estimated 150 nests in 1969. Since the ban of DDT in New York in 1971, and in the rest of the country in 1972, the population of ospreys has slowly been increasing. In 1995, there were 230 breeding pairs on Long Island. There is a hierarchy of terminology to describe species that are in trouble, the term “Extinct” of course topping the list. Then comes “Extirpated,” meaning that the species basically no longer exists in New York. The
osprey never made that list, but in 1976 they did make the “Endangered” (in imminent danger of extinction) list. In 1983, they were downgraded to “Threatened” (likely to become endangered), and finally in 1999 the osprey stepped down a rung and is currently listed under “Special Concern.” You’ve no doubt noticed ospreys and their nests around the East End. That’s because we’ve built some nifty high-rise nesting stations for them. I don’t mind helping out a fellow earthmate, but we at Dan’s were curious as to what the osprey did before we constructed their fly-ups with stunning water views. Kate Schertel Fullum from the Group for the East End cleared it up for us, “Because we overdeveloped the land, there is not much available habitat left for them.” Paul D’Andrea, the Preserves Manager for the South Fork Nature Conservancy from (continued on next page)

Trees were being bastardized with strange spices by their bakers. They no longer should say they were Montauk-made. (As a gesture of good faith, I did invite them down for the annual Montauk Chocolate Bean Picking Harvest Celebration in late August, and they said they would come, but in the end they never did show.) (As for my request that they change the recipe, what I got instead was an entire case of 144 boxes of Pepperidge Farm Soft Baked Montauk Milk Chocolate Cookies, which was exactly what I didn’t want. I still have them, unopened, to this day. As for “The Hamptons,” there have been various attempts to produce things to eat
or drink with that designation. Some years ago, a potato chip firm went national with the name Hampton Potato Chips and using actual Hampton potatoes, but they went out of business for some reason. There was an attempt to create a Hamptons Bottled Water brand by drilling down into the aquifer in the pine barrens just north of Westhampton Beach, sucking up the water and marketing our actual wonderful water, but those proposing this never got their application through the Zoning Board of Appeals. I think Kathleen King had a chance to go national for the Hamptons. She’s been making her very delicious chocolate chip cookies for years. This year, amazingly, her cookies—she’s
now selling more than a million of them a year out of her factory in East Moriches—were rated as the top chocolate chip cookie in the country by no less than Consumer Reports. Unfortunately for us, Kathleen first produced her cookies 22 years ago not under the name Hamptons, but under the name Kathleen’s Cookies. And then about 10 years ago, during a business upheaval, she changed the name of her cookies—again, not to Hamptons Cookies— but to Tate’s Cookies. Tate is her father, Tate King of North Sea Farms in North Sea. So twice now, she’s missed the chance of making a Hamptons Cookie. What a shame. And so it is that both the Hamptons and Montauk are very weak in the national foodbranding department. Considering the vast array of delicious foods and wines produced here, it seems a shame this is so. “Hamptons” could refer to our caviar, truffles, wines, potatoes, broccoli and strawberries. Various frozen stripers, seals, sharks and crabs could proudly proclaim the name Montauk. Frankly, we have quite an opportunity here to come up with a company to do battle with Kraft, Nabisco, General Foods or (Ugh) Pepperidge. Think Maui Chips, Nantucket Nectar, Maryland Soft Shell Crabs—all big successes that have made a lucky few people millions—and the rest of the populace proud.

Shinnecock to Montauk, added: “When ospreys were in abundance, before DDT, the development of coastal areas, overfishing, they made tree nests as well as ground nests.” So over the years we’ve provided them with nests, building man-made structures used to simulate home sweet home. D’Andrea explains the construction in more detail: “The most common post (pole) used is black locust tree. The locust can withstand wet conditions and last for years. The platform where the osprey builds its nest is attached to the top of the pole. A common design is a square platform covered with a wire mesh. This helps the nesting material to anchor better to the platform.” But some of the platforms and posts have deteriorated over the years from storms and rotting, and there is a group effort to restore and rebuild the nests. Organizations involved include The Group for the East End, Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt, The Nature Conservancy, SOFO, The Peconic Land Trust, The United States Fish and Wildlife, The Town Trustees, Suffolk County, The East End Towns and their respective departments (Natural Resources, Community Preservation Fund, Planning, Parks), and countless volunteers in the community. Special thanks go to Mike Gaines from CW Arborists and Peter Stoutenburgh from Environment East—they have donated their time and machinery. Though they are working throughout Long Island, the work needs to be done by the end of March, as the birds are usually returning during at this time. D’Andrea suggests a book called Soaring with Fidel by David Gessner. “It’s a wonderful read about the author tracking an osprey to its wintering grounds starting in Connecticut.”

No Standing Around? Can a Town Legislate When There’s Too Many People in a Crowd? By David Lion Rattiner In the height of the summer time in the Hamptons, everybody wants to be at the place that is the place to be. That’s just the way people are, and businesses out here do everything they can to be that place, and when they accomplish that, it’s gangbusters for them. But there is a problem, some people don’t like crowds, and usually those people are also extremely active in local politics and go to great lengths to battle crowds. One of the most notable places of “crowd problems” in the last few years is the epic rise of the nightclub and restaurant known as The Surf Lodge. In my opinion, The Surf Lodge is arguably one of the best things that has ever happened to Montauk. The Lodge draws large groups of wealthy, young professionals to Montauk, who not only party at the Surf Lodge, but also end up wanting to buy surfboards at the local surf shops, go fishing out on the local charters and eat lunch and dinner at the local
restaurants and spend the night at the local hotels. You would think, with the Hamptons being a tourist economy and with the fact that every chamber of commerce from Westhampton to Montauk does everything they can to draw the largest crowds possible into their respective towns, that East Hampton Town would be happy with the new businesses that have become the “hot spots.” After all, who wants to be in a place where nobody is around? Apparently, there are quite a few people who want that. Last week in East Hampton, Councilwoman Theresa Quigley and Supervisor Bill Wilkinson worked together on new legislation that is specifically designed to limit the number of people that can gather outside of a hot spot. The new legislation would be to have certain businesses that draw large crowds to get an “entertainment permit” that would have a limit on the number of people allowed outside
of businesses that draw crowds. The limit would be set and enforced by the fire marshal, and if the violations continue, the Town would have the power to completely shut down the business. But all of the Town officials seem to understand that this is a Catch-22 situation. If the crowds aren’t there, the finances of the local businesses who pay taxes into the town suffer, and if the crowds are there, certain taxpaying homeowners will continue to complain, and then of course, there is the real issue of there being a fire hazard. So what’s the solution? While every effort should be put fourth to manage large crowds and prevent dangerous situations to human life, it is pretty unrealistic to think that Town officials have any real interest in shutting down such large cash machines, and these cash machines require crowds, so that’s what will continue to happen.

COUNTY TRIES TO SELL BEACH THEY DON’T OWN By Dan Rattiner The County of Suffolk is about to sell Long Wharf and the adjacent beach to the Village of Sag Harbor. You might have thought these Village treasures already belonged to the Village, and from the beginning of time through to the Great Depression, they did. At that time, the Village ran out of money and could not continue to afford to keep it repaired. So they sold the properties to the County. The County had the money. Now it’s the County that is in financial
trouble. The Village says it will take the properties back. Last week the County voted 17 to 1 to approve the sale of Windmill Beach and the land where the windmill sits. And so the bureaucrats are combing the records in both the county and the village to make the sale of Long Wharf happen. Guess what? In 1982, the County sold the beach back to the village for $4,000. The deed was transferred. Sag Harbor owns it. How many times can the County sell it? What a surprise.
A lot has gone on down at the beach since 1982. Any tickets or violations issued at the beach by the County should be immediately voided and the money returned to the transgressor. Also, armed with this new information, the Village should demand that the price of the sale be halved. Beaches are as valuable as wharves. The sale price for both is agreed at $1. The Village shouldn’t pay a dime over than 50 cents.

Lighthouse
(continued from page 14)
feet of their yard had slipped down the 100 foot cliff into the sea. Giorgina had brought with her a book she wrote entitled How to Hold up a Bank. It described an extraordinary way to stop erosion by using four-inch wooden planks to make little steps up the cliff and planting it with beach grass. The effect was stunning. The grass grew, the roots took hold. The erosion stopped. “This worked at our house,” she told me. “I can do this at the Montauk Lighthouse.” “You’ll have to ask the Coast Guard for permission,” I said. “Hopefully they’ll let you do that.” But I really thought there was no chance of it. I was wrong. The Coast Guard allowed her and her husband and several volunteers to come out and install the foliage on Sunday
afternoons, but only after they signed releases and showed them injury insurance policies that indemnified the Coast Guard. Their project began in June, 1970. I thought this might last six weeks or so to plant this cliff, but I was wrong. Giorgina told me she intended to do plantings in a great curve around the cliff extending for half a mile. “We come out every Sunday,” she said. “It will take years.” It took 20 years and more. After the first year, however, the Admiral at the Coast Guard announced what we already knew, which was that the plan to demolish the lighthouse had been put on hold. But there was something else. The Coast Guard was re-committing itself to the future preservation of the Montauk

Lighthouse. His first order in this regard was to give it an entire new paint job. That soon happened. They would preserve it forever and ever. What I did not know at the time was that the Montauk Lighthouse had been nominated by the State of New York and then accepted for the National Register of Historic Places. I had never heard of any list of the National Register of Historic Places. It was this new thing, identifying historic places. It did not then pass my notice that the leader of the Assembly in the State of New York at that time, a man who was about as powerful politically as Sheldon Silver is today, was Perry Duryea of Perry Duryea & Son seafood wholesalers in Montauk. Duryea had also spoken over the fire department microphone to the crowd at both demonstrations. The creation of this, and the placement of the Montauk Lighthouse on it, had apparently been what was necessary to change the Admiral’s mind. In 1982, 15 years after the first protest and 12 after the Admiral’s change of heart, I received a letter in the mail inviting me to Governor’s Island to be honored for my work in saving Montauk Lighthouse. I immediately called Giorgina Reid who was still living in Rocky Point and still coming out every Sunday to do plantings, to find out, as I suspected, that she had gotten such a letter too. We went together to South Ferry, where a ship with an honor guard in dress whites carried us to Governor’s Island. We were given a lunch in our honor, and then we were presented with these framed awards. Hers read CERTIFICATE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT for indeed she was still out there planting things. Mine read CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT, I guess because I got it started. This was a very class act on the part of the Coast Guard. The upshot of all this is that the Lighthouse still stands. Giorgina and her husband finished their work out there in 1986, and numerous others carried on the process until it was finally completed in 1998. I recall going to a ceremony at the lighthouse to honor Giorgina and all she was done. A letter was read aloud to her, over a loud speaker, sent by the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, outlining her extraordinary efforts and what it meant. By the time she stepped down, she was quite elderly. I recall tears coming to my eyes. Today the lighthouse grounds and the lighthouse itself are both owned and taken care of by the Montauk Historical Society, which opens it to the public in the summertime and uses the fees and donations that come in to maintain the building. As for the light itself, it remains way up there at the top of the Lighthouse, administered by the United States Coast Guard through an agreement with the Historical Society. And so now, engineered by others, comes the designation that will really prevent the lighthouse from ever being destroyed—the designation of the Montauk Lighthouse as a National Historic Landmark. As for the erosion? Giorgina and her volunteers completed the job. I believe today the Lighthouse is the same number of feet from the edge of the cliff as it was in 1966. Imagine that.

Everybody Out for the Big Anchor Pull By Mr. Sneiv I have dreamed of hunting for shipwrecks and underwater treasures for a long time. This was suppressed when I moved to Las Vegas. I remember my first night there and I was checking into a hotel, somewhat inebriated, and requested a view of the ocean. The very skilled desk manager responded, “Pacific or Atlantic?” Anyhow, now that I am back on the East Coast, I can once again follow my hobby with a renewed enthusiasm. And that brings me to the exciting news! Recently, there has been a lot of press on treasure hunters and the shipwreck booty they have found. Just to bring you up to speed, the Nuestra Senora Atocha sank on September 6, 1622 and was found off Key West Florida. It yielded more than 100,000 Spanish silver coins. Not to be outdone, the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes was found off Portugal and yielded more than $500 million in silver and gold coins. Adding to the excitement, this April 15 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of The Titanic. 1,517 people perished on that voyage. Robert Ballard led the team that discovered the site in 1985. I was not present during that find but I have seen the movie Titanic several times. To commemorate the anniversary, The National Geographic Museum in Washington, DC has put together an exciting exhibit that is running between March 29 and July 8. Between 1600 and present day there were hundreds, if not thousands of shipwrecks located just off the coast of Long Island. Some of these are already mapped out and are routinely visited by thrill-seeking divers. And like me, most divers also harbor a fantasy of finding something of worth. Since I don’t have a boat with side scanning sonar, a submersible or even a crew, I have to do my shipwreck treasure hunting from land. To others that might seem like a problem but I see it as an advantage. There is no competition and my research doesn’t require getting seasick or wet. Under other circumstances, I would keep my research techniques and findings secret but in this case I will need the help of Dan’s Papers Readers. Recently, I was in a restaurant/bar picking up dinner to go. I arrived at 3:00 in the afternoon. Since they don’t start making dinner until around 4 p.m., I was forced to sit and have a few drinks. I do this on purpose. Anyhow, to my surprise, in the middle of February, located just a few stools to my left, was this old crusty seaman guy; you know the type, wearing a boatman’s hat and sporting a beard. He had “Local” written all over him. Now, I know from experience that these types can be a valuable source of information on great fishing spots and more importantly secret shipwrecks. I also know that you gotta get ‘em mighty drunk before they will give up such valuable information. So, I slid down a couple seats and had the bartender break out the strong stuff. Somewhere around 30 minutes later, he was very drunk and I was reasonably drunk (if there is such a thing). “What do you know about shipwrecks and booty?”, I asked. “Well there’s a girl in Flanders that is a good bet for the booty,” he teased. I pressed on, “Seriously, you must know of some treasure to be had?” Before I left the bar, I had my information. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, but valuable
nonetheless. Seems there was a major vessel, a tanker of sorts, that many years ago, was anchored about two miles off the eastern tip of the island. When it was pulling anchor, it became separated from the chain and the anchor sunk to the bottom. The anchor weighed more than 30,000 pounds and was made of solid brass. For a period of time anchors were made out of brass because they would not rust. The captain of the tanker, in a hurry to return to Italy and his beautiful wife, decided to abandon the anchor and retrieve it on a subsequent trip. He returned to Italy a week early and died in a brawl with his wife’s lover, never to return. However, he did mark the exact location on a map, which his first mate
traded to my new bar friend in 1968, for a bottle of good whiskey. Now I am not an expert on precious metals, but I know that when I buy something made of brass, especially doorknobs or monkeys, it is expensive, so I expect the value of this find could be significant. So here’s where you, the faithful readers, come in. First off, I need someone who has a very strong rope approximately10,560 feet long to loan it to me. I also need someone to step forward that is a strong swimmer and can hold his or her breath for at least five minutes while tying an underwater knot. Lastly, I need (continued on page 22)

Schools Deal With 2% Cap In Different Ways By Robert Sforza Many East End school districts are battling the 2012-2013 budget requirements after New York State implemented its new 2% property tax levy cap. This new law establishes a property tax cap on the amount that a local government’s or school district’s property tax levy can increase each year. Under the new tax cap law, a contingency budget adopted by a school cannot result in a tax levy increase like in years past. The proposal, though, allows school districts to omit certain expenses such as debt services or increases related to pensions, which will not affect the cap. However, despite the few exceptions, the cap has made its presence felt immediately in many South Fork districts, as many find themselves on the wrong side of the budget. Why are my taxes rising if there is a property tax cap? What this new, 2% mandate does is limit how much a school district’s tax levy can go up, the total amount a district is allowed to raises in taxes—not a limit on property tax bills. However, there are exemptions to the rule: voter-approved capital spending, pension cost increases beyond 2%. Districts such as Bridgehampton have held numerous budgethearing meetings in hopes to raise more funds. If Bridgehampton’s vote exceeds 60%, the “super-majority,” a district may receive more funds from taxes. Conversely, if a district loses its second budget vote, it must adopt a new contingency budget with zero increase in tax levy.

PRESENTED BY:
In spite of the 2% tax levy cap, one South Fork district, Bridgehampton, has been able to resolve financial difficulties amicably. It has found a way to resolve cost issues without staff layoffs. Salary Freezes. “We have come together as a team to meet the immediate charge of the tax levy limitation,” informs district superintendent, Dr. Lois Favre. The district has made “concessions from our unions, and much teamwork to assure that we bring to the community a budget they can support.” The particulars of this agreement include a salary and step increase freeze for 2012-2013, which, consequently, will save the district more than $100,000—allowing the district to stay in the bounds of the 2% tax levy. Salary freezes, compared to faculty cuts, allow students the benefit of smaller class sizes and more individualized attention in the classroom. Although Bridgehampton has reached an agreement for 2012-2013, the general feeling towards New York State’s 2% tax levy is that it’s not viable. “I would agree that it is unsustainable for school districts,” referring to the cap, “and this appears to be true throughout the state,” asserts Dr. Favre. But Favre is well aware of her district’s success in response to the tax cap, by graciously commenting: “The community should be proud of their teachers and support staff—they came to the table keeping students first.” Administrators, fearing future cuts to be an inevitable occurrence, come to the table asking themselves the same unanimous question,
“What can we cut without affecting the child as a whole?” “Nothing present at this time,” says Keri Loughlin, the Business Official of Tuckahoe Schools, referring to cuts, “but the final decision is made by the administrative board.” The final budget is likely to be adopted early next month, but what that budget holds will indicate the financial future of Tuckahoe schools. The “child as a whole” is the school’s primary objective, reminds Loughlin, so cuts that will have a direct affect on instructional impact, such as losing teachers and discounting particular classes and programs, will be a last resort. However, some other South Fork districts find themselves in deeper, less forgiving waters. Springs Public School’s predicament is considerably more severe than many other East End districts. “We are fearing cuts,” acknowledges Michael Hartner, the school’s Superintendent. The school’s budget gap is slightly over $1,000,00. Hartner says the school is doing all it can to bridge this financial gulf, leaving no stone unturned, to come up with the necessary funds. But cuts are predestined. “We don’t see any alternatives…inevitably we will make cuts.” The degree and severity of the cuts, however, is still yet to de determined. “We are in a tough economy” and cuts are an unfortunate reality in a stagnant economy. Hopefully Springs can find alternatives to dismissing teachers, like Bridgehampton’s approach of freezing salaries, but each district is limited to its resources.

Neighbor By Nanci E. LaGarenne When your mother is Secretary of State and your father the 42nd President of the United States, people are going to be interested in you. The bygone days of shyness and keeping the public at bay are over. Chelsea Clinton has gone primetime. This formidable young woman has garnered a key spot as full-time special correspondent for NBC Nightly News, on their “Making A Difference” series. She appears with Brian Williams on his news magazine show, “Rock Center.” Yes, “Energy,” Clinton’s alleged code name while a preteen in the White House, is holding her own. Her personality and voice are coming through, on her own merit. Name may get you in the door, but hard work and competence plays just as prominent a role. Williams explained NBC’s decision to hire Clinton in an interview hosted by Piers Morgan on CNN. “If a candidate walked into our offices with her academic training, with her travel, with her access and time around conversations at the highest levels with policy makers, with her business experience...we would sit down if their name was Nancy, and have a thorough conversation about coming to work for us at NBC News.” Most recently, Clinton proved her consequence as a liaison between notable leaders and the general public when she moderated a discussion on “Combating Islamophobia” between Rabbi Marc Schneier, President for the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding and Imam Shamsi Ali, former spiritual leader of the Islamic Cultural Center of New York on March 14. Some of the most prominent leaders in the American Muslim and Jewish communities attended the sold-out event. Clinton is where she is now due to a passion to help people, a characteristic that she inherited from her parents and grandmother, and a desire to showcase that the ordinary among us can do extraordinary things. She features children raising money for cancer research, for instance. She talks about stories that touch our hearts and make us want to do better. Clinton is quoted in a press release from NBC News: “People who imagine and implement solutions in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and in our world have always inspired me. I have long been impressed that Brian and his team at NBC place such consistent importance on sharing stories of empowerment that in turn, help empower other people and families. I am grateful for this opportunity to continue this tradition.” And obviously NBC News President Steve Capus agreed and that is why he hired her. “Chelsea is a remarkable woman who will be a great addition to NBC News. Given her vast experiences, it’s as though Chelsea has been preparing for this
Media, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Weill Cornell Medical College and IAC/ Inter Active Corp. Born on Feb. 27, 1980 in Little Rock, Ark. while her father was serving his first term as governor, Clinton’s life has constantly been in the limelight. Despite being the most sought-after and photographed presidential child since Caroline Kennedy and John Kennedy Jr., Clinton has risen above all of the dramatic and scandalous fallout during her father’s Presidency. She has moved on. Clinton has her mother’s grace and strength. Some have criticized her for lacking her father’s charisma. Comparisons are inevitable, but Clinton is her own woman, unfazed by the trivial and more interested in doing good works, as we are seeing. Ask her yourself and she will tell you. But don’t dredge up ancient history. There are more important things to solve in the world, she would probably say. More interesting stories of human bravery and struggle. And who could argue with that? Yes, Clinton is all grown up and a married woman since 2010. She knows who she is and where she is headed. Clinton married investment banker Marc Mezvinsky in a lavish July 31 wedding in Rhinebeck, New York. Her mate is a kindred spirit, himself the child of political parents. Mezvinsky is the son of former Iowa Democratic congressman, Edward Mezvinsky and Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, former Pennsylvania Democratic congresswoman. The friendship of the Mezvinskys and Clintons led to the meeting of their children. While Clinton is an only child, Mezvinsky is one of 11 children, some adopted. Clinton admits she avoided the limelight for as long as she needed. “For most of my life, I deliberately led a private life, in the public eye,” she is quoted in The New York Times. Things changed when Clinton campaigned for her mother as a Presidential candidate in 2008. Coupled with advice from her maternal grandmother, Dorothy Rodham, that she “wasn’t doing enough in the world,” Clinton acted upon those words. “Maybe it was a time to start leading a purposefully public life,” she told the Times. She has followed through. Special Correspondent for NBC News is certainly front and center. Occasionally we get a glimpse of her shopping at our local farmers market in Sag Harbor. Her parents are regular visitors to the East End. Maybe Clinton and Mezvinsky will continue that tradition too. As the “curtain opens on a portrait of today,” as the song “Chelsea Morning” by Joni Mitchell, for which Clinton was named, goes, we see a new image of the little girl chasing her dog on the White House lawn. A woman in her own right, bringing us all a little closer to the world. “Energy,” as it turns out, was a prophetic name for this Clinton of a new generation.
Chelsea Clinton Journalist
“It was a time to start leading a purposefully public life.” opportunity her entire life,” he told The New York Times. Clinton holds a bachelors degree in history from Stanford, Masters from both Oxford and Columbia, and is presently working on her doctoral degree from Oxford. She is an advocate and board member of Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) and the Clinton Foundation (CF), working towards its goals to “alleviate poverty, create a cleaner environment, and increase access to health care and education.” Before her gig at NBC, Clinton worked for the consulting firm McKinsey and Company, Avenue Capital Group and New York University. She serves on other boards in addition to CGI and CF. They include, the School of American Ballet (Clinton herself studied ballet), Common Sense
Dan’s Papers March 23, 2012 danshamptons.com Page 22
By Joan Baum It’s arguably the hottest, most controversial topic in the country—illegal immigration and the intense political disagreement over what the U.S. should and can do. The mass media have been showing explosive pictures of violence spilling over the Mexican border, and protests against illegal workers are once again building up in The Hamptons. Indeed, it was last fall, near the 7-Eleven in Southampton, a congregating place for undocumented men looking for work, that documentary film and video producer/director Dennis Michael (King of the Hamptons) Lynch, stopped for a red light, felt impelled to pull over, whip out his camera and start filming. The result, several months later, is They Come to America, which will premiere on Saturday, March 31 at Guild Hall. Ironically, at the time Lynch was nearing the 7-Eleven, he had been listening to Neil Diamond’s 1980 song, “America,” a line from which prompted the title of his film. On a promotional video, Lynch notes that what got to him that day was not only the “army of undocumented men” standing on the corner in search of work but across from them a middle-aged man (an out-of-work roofer), waving an American flag and a home-made sign that read, “Deport Illegals.” What soon followed was Lynch’s filming a series of “tough-question” interviews (and attempts at interviews) with some illegal immigrants, ranchers and their wives, politicians, border security and people from various groups and organizations on both sides of the immigration debate—along with some “frightening” footage. “I would never do it again,” Lynch says on his website. He went into dangerous areas, at night, slept in dirt, was chased by drug lords, harassed by border patrol guards, got death threats. The hour-long film is Lynch’s second, after the sold-out reception of his documentary, King of the Hamptons (2010), which features both the filmmaker and Dan Rattiner and has cameo appearances by, among others, Alec Baldwin, Mercedes Ruehl, Billy Joel, Chuck
Scarborough, Kim Cattrall, Ed Burns and John Roland. Lynch, CEO of TV360Media.com, a digital media company, will likely garner much attention for They Come to America, Rattiner suggests, because of its originality, intensity and fairness. Lynch “immersed himself entirely in the film,” risking being shot at and killed, and though he traveled thousands of miles, mainly to the Southwest, he also spent time on native ground. An East Hampton resident, he also shot footage at the East Hampton Railroad Station, interviewing a couple of prospective workers, The “reality” of what he is able to show, says Rattiner—immigrants’ talking about their way of life, ranchers wives living in fear—is what distinguishes the film. Rattiner knows Lynch from when the director contacted him about finding celebrities for King of the Hamptons. Rattiner, in turn, called stars he knew and asked if they’d like to be in a movie. “Not one said no.” They’ve gone on since then, Lynch and Rattiner, to become “co-conspirators” and friends. The film is entertaining and informative, Rattiner says, and critical in challenging viewers to reexamine what they think they know about the explosive issue of illegal immigration. For sure, seeing what Lynch amasses here differs from just reading about the problem. You come away from seeing it with “a deeper appreciation of the complexity of the situation,” Rattiner says, why, for example, Arizona (and other states) have passed restrictive legislation—not that it was just but rather that it reflected what many who live in the Southwest regard as a “war zone.” The film also presents the perspective of those who flee poverty and drugs to find a safe, productive life. They Come to America could not be more timely and significant: On April 25 The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on the Arizona law. They Come to America at Guild Hall, East Hampton.

It is simply in nobody’s financial interest to stop large groups of people entering your town with money to spend. So the real solution needs to be, how are we going to manage these large crowds, what type of fines will draw the attention of the violators of overcrowding so that they will comply, and how will they be enforced? The “problem” of large crowds has a variety of simple solutions that include basic crowd control techniques, implementing fines, and turning away customers, and all popular bar and restaurants employ these techniques all over the country. But to have a law that says, “If overcrowding happens, we are going to shut you down,” is a little nutty if you ask me. Is that really what the Town of East Hampton and its residents and taxpayers want? Is your goal really to drive people OUT of Town during the summer time? Think about what that would look like for a minute, oh wait, we already know what that looks like, it looks awful, it’s financially painful, and all that ends up happening is we start begging for them to come back.

Dan’s Papers March 23, 2012 danshamptons.com Page 23
THE SHELTERED ISLANDER by Sally Flynn
When is a house more than a house?
Dan’ s Papers has moved into its new home. But I have to confess, I will miss the rickety converted old house that served as the office and hub of the Hamptons, aka, Dan’s Papers, for so many years. I will miss the way the huge poster of Dan’s face next to the commode, watched your every move. I’ll miss how the toilet paper supply was on open shelves across the bathroom—just close enough that every once in a while you’d check to see if you had developed the ability to move TP with your mind. The walls were paper-thin and it amazed me how many people thought the nook by the bathroom was a secure place to chat. I’ll miss looking into the rooms where the Ad people were chained to their desks by the ankles, not unlike the galley scenes in Ben Hur. It was safe to walk up to the edge of the room and throw food and canned goods in, but it was best to stay out of their reach, lest they grab your car keys and make a break for freedom. I’ll miss the late night Tuesdays (when the paper was being assembled for printing) when the layout staff would put electrified razor wire up around their desks to discourage any lastminute changes. Even so, late changes would get through and you’d hear the wails of the exhausted and frustrated staff. One of them would always come out to make coffee for the group. Whenever I was there, if I had the extra, I’d slip some Xanax into the coffee to help calm the group down. Then there was the Senior Editor, the one on whose shoulders, all things fall. When I began writing for Dan’s, it was with Bill Scurry at the helm. Many have passed through that job since then, yes, they come and they go, but the aggravation remains the same. Whenever I was in the office on Tuesdays, the Editors were alert, cogent, and highly intelligent. I never saw them the next day, but I’d bet a paycheck that on Wednesdays, they’d have to pull out their Driver’s License to remember their names. I will really miss what I called Telegraph Hill. The old place, in addition to thin walls, had this steep, narrow, rickety, very squeaky staircase that led to Dan’s perch upstairs. Anything heavier than a cat would make these stairs creak. It wasn’t long before you could identify who was coming or going by the heaviness and speed of their footfalls. The really senior staff could tell you if it was Dan in a good or bad
Got to get your Hair done?

mood, if he was carrying anything, or how much he had for lunch. It was fun to be able to tell who forgot something based on the partial descent, then cursing, then ascent, then a complete fast descent with more cursing. This staircase was so fragile, it actually would shake the whole house depending on the forcefulness of the footfalls. Of course, I never went on it. I knew the steps would never handle the pressure, plus there wasn’t enough WD-40 in the building for me to adequately coat my hips. If I needed to see Dan, I could just take a position at the bottom of the steps and wait. I always admired the fact that even
though he could have easily slung a fire ladder out the window and escaped to the parking lot unnoticed, he never did. Yes, I’ll miss the old house and all the hiding places it had. But the new place will be even better for brilliant people to fester, I mean, foster their talents in this new millennia of Dan’s Papers. I have been a Dan Fan since he had a two-page flier when I was a teen growing up on the Island. It was Dan’s writing, and later that of Mary Lowry of The Pacific Sun in California, that gave me inspiration to write—but don’t let it get out, Dan doesn’t need any ego boosting.

M Spring Workout Preview It’s late March on the East End. As temperatures rise and the snow that never came finally melts away, more and more of you will soon be leaving the gym and hitting the great outdoors for your exercise routines— where sun, ocean breezes and blue skies await. I’ve written previous columns about mobile apps that enhance your workout. Technology is that it never stands still. It upgrades, refreshes, and constantly improves—which means that I always have something new to write about. So here is my Spring 2012 Workout Technology Preview, with ideas and products for people at three fitness levels. The Workout Warrior Let’s start at the top with serious fitness freaks. If you’re a Workout Warrior, you exercise four or five times a week, count every calorie and footstep and spend way too much time looking at yourself in the mirror. If this description fits you, and if cycling is part of your Hamptons workout, then check out the Polar USA CS500. It’s a sophisticated tracking device that measures your bicycle’s
speed, distance, cadence, heart rate, calories burned, incline, altitude and more. There’s also an optional USB link that uploads your workout data to a computer for post-ride performance review. The CS500 retails for about $300, plus $50 for the USB link. It’s a high price to pay for data, but this device will transform that ride along Dune Road or the Napeague Stretch into something straight out of the Tour de France. The Semi-Committed Gym Rat If you’re in this category, you probably work out once or twice a week. You belong to a gym and have tried everything from yoga to Soul Cycle. But you’re only Semi-Committed. You don’t leap out of bed at 5 a.m. every morning, raring to go. You don’t run the New York Marathon. You watch it on television. For you, exercise is a necessary evil to feel better and get props at your annual checkup. If I just described you, then I suggest investing in the BodyMedia FIT. The FIT is not an exercise enhancer. It won’t motivate you to run faster, lift longer or even go to the gym. What the FIT will do is provide detailed information about everything you do to help you lose weight. It’s an entire system—computer program, arm bracelet, and mobile app—that monitors your eating habits, calories burned and even your sleep patterns. You wear the arm bracelet all day, and it silently counts every calorie burned, from climbing the stairs to emptying the dishwasher. The data is then fed to a computer program that analyzes your age and body type to guide you in the right direction for diet, exercise, and sleep. Here’s the tricky part: you have to log your meals and estimate how many calories you
consumed—which is not easy if you’re not a nutritionist. Another issue: The FIT is not cheap. The armband costs about $170 on Amazon, slightly more in stores. There’s also a monthly fee of $6.95 for the monitoring program. Bottom line: The FIT is a great way to learn more about what’s working and what’s NOT working in your routine. If you have the money and lack the will to exercise more often, this is a great option to help you get into shape. The Aspirational Couch Potato Now we get to the Couch Potato. You know who you are! You rarely work out. You eat whatever you want at all times of day. The only exercise you get is using the TV remote. Even Couch Potatoes have hopes and dreams. You aspire to get into shape someday. You just don’t know where or how to begin. If you’re part of this group, then I have good news: thanks to technology, you can start now, and you don’t even need to leave your home. The Power Play “Riiflex” is a set of two-pound barbells with a slot to plug in your Wii handset. (Yes, you read that correctly.) This enables you to add weight and a degree of difficulty to your Wii workout. Swinging that virtual golf club or tennis racquet now becomes exercise. Sort of. Sound ridiculous? Maybe. But you’re a Couch Potato. You have to start somewhere. In fact, millions of Americans are now using Wii games as their workout routine, and there are legitimate fitness programs on the system. The Riiflex is a simple way to kick it up a notch and get better results from those games. Best of all, the Riiflex retails for $30 for a set of two barbells, making it a fun, cheap product to get you started on the journey to fitness.

HAMPTON BAYS
mid-level clerk supervisor in the Service Department and Bob Harvey, an Assistant to an Assistant Vice President in billing. They met at a New York Subway Union 43 Meeting. They will honeymoon in Paris for two weeks, the whole thing paid for by their Disability Awards.
Week of March 23-30, 2012 Riders this week: 1 Rider miles this week: 15 DOWN IN THE TUBE Except for one person, the subway was unused all week because nobody was willing to spend $23,412 a ride except for this one man whose whole family got him a trip on the subway as a birthday present. He asked that we not use his name, Joe Trappola, so we won’t use it. FARE NEGOTIATIONS Last week, after Hampton Subway bought the New York Subway system for $1, we were at first overjoyed. Here we were, the proud owners of a system nearly 1,000 times the size of its parent corporation. It was like Jonah ate the whale. As everybody knows, in order to deal with the payroll of the New York Subway system, we had to increase the cost of a ride on the Hampton Subway from $2 to $23,412 because that is what would be needed on a day-to-day basis to pay for the $800 million annual deficit the New York Subway accumulates, which was now ours, and, as a condition of the purchase, we had to agree not to change anything on the New York Subway system for three months. Mayor Bloomberg drives a hard bargain. At the present time, the Board of Directors of Hampton Subway is meeting to determine what we should do now that none of the riders on Hampton Subway seem to be able to shoulder the burden of the New York system. It’s expected they will have an answer very soon. Meanwhile, all of us sit expectantly at our posts, hoping and waiting with our fingers crossed. We’re told that smoke will come out of the chimney of the Hampton Subway headquarters building in Hampton Bays when a decision is reached, but so far, nothing. ROCKET TRAIN During this quiet interval, the Hampton Subway took possession of two “Rocket Trains” made in Arkansas by the Yakitumi Corporation in Japan to the specifications of the rocket trains that are in use in that country. We’ve had them out on the tracks but we have not been able to get them going. They will either not start—the starter engines eventually wear down the batteries—or if they do start they belch this fluorescent green smoke out the back which has so far resulted in seven subway employees being hospitalized with respiratory problems, one of whom was so sick he died. When these few kinks are worked out, the “Rocket Train” will be our fast express train, which, at the moment, we do not have. All our current trains have top speeds of 32 miles an hour. The “Rocket Train” will make limited stops but go around the system at a steady 145 miles an hour, passing our old stodgy local trains as they sit in the double track area at
the platforms. The “Rocket Train” will stop only at Montauk, East Hampton, Southampton and Westhampton Beach and then back again, the round trip taking only 12 minutes. TWO TIE THE KNOT Two employees of the New York City subway system were married on the Southampton platform of Hampton Subway last Thursday at noon. They are Phyllis Doppelganger, a
COMMISSIONER ASPINALL’S MESSAGE I am on a cigarette break from the board meeting of Hampton Subway where we are trying to figure out what to do about the purchase we made of the New York Subway system. One of the things on the table is selling off the Lexington Line to the Toronto Subway System. We’ve contacted them. It’s in the works. More later.

TWENTY SOMETHING by David Lion Rattiner
So a lot of people keep asking me the following question: Is Old Man McGumbus, the guy who gets arrested on Shelter Island every week, is 104 years old and a World War II veteran a real person? The answer is yes, he is real. Now one thing you have to understand about McGumbus is that he isn’t ALWAYS arrested, but he frequently gets the attention of Shelter Island authorities every week, which is why I write about him so much. I first met Old Man McGumbus when I was 16 years old, working as a swimming instructor for The Shelter Island Sailing and Hunting Club in 1996. Back then, McGumbus was in charge of the advanced weapons clinic that the club runs there, and was teaching kids how to fire various types of guns, including semiautomatic and automatic machine guns. He was also in charge of putting on the Fourth of July fireworks display that the club holds. As a former World War II vet, Old Man McGumbus was a flamethrower operator, and when I first met him, we talked for a long time about his passion for flamethrowers. You’d be amazed to sit with this guy and discuss the history behind the flamethrower, and its various uses during war. I remember him saying, “By far, shooting flames from what is basically a giant water cannon was a great way to not just terrify the enemy, but to also destroy them. It’s also an incredibly satisfying weapon.” One thing about this guy that I remember the most was how much respect he commanded when he walked into a room. Even the richest member of the Shelter Island Sailing and Hunting Club spoke to Old Man McGumbus with utmost respect. During my final summer as a swim instructor there, Old Man McGumbus was celebrating his 100th birthday, and I attended a party held for him under a white tent. There were a lot of people there, including politicians and councilmen, and I remember there being a gift pile for Old Man McGumbus. It was kind of wild to see so many guns wrapped with red bows around them. There were AK-47s, M-16s, rocket launchers and there were also at least 100 bottles of Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon, which is his favorite drink. I remember that evening him firing several grenades down the beach into a pile of propane gas tanks that caused a lot of fantastic explosions that night. Unfortunately, things got a little out of hand and he got a little drunk and got into a huge

fight with a member of the club who is a high level executive for BMW. Personally, I thought it was kind of funny at the time. Also that evening he announced that he was retiring from his job as head weapons instructor and was forming a new magazine called, Grenade Launcher, Bullets and Machine Gun Magazine, which is a joint venture between himself and a few private investors. The magazine is still very much in existence today and I recently read that they are planning on expanding to Europe and Asia. Old Man McGumbus is a character, that’s for sure. When we worked together he once asked me if I’d be willing to quickly run to his house in order to get his leather helmet and lucky flying goggles that he needed because he was planning on taking his authentic P-51 Mustang for a spin around the island. I agreed
and when I walked into his house, I was amazed by how incredible it is. First off, I was greeted by an absolutely stunningly beautiful Brazilian housecleaner, who he apparently hires five days a week to clean his home. He lives in an old colonial styled house on three acres of land and inside of his house, I found pictures of him standing with various presidents. The Congressional Medal of Honor was worn around the neck of his black lab named Bullet, and there were two life sizedstatues of Chuck Norris and Rambo in his back yard. I remember also laughing a little bit at a few pictures of him when he was in his early 90s, competing in one of the first Ultimate Fighting Champion fights ever held inside an arena in Mexico. He apparently beat a 240pound Russian guy named Meesha Kiev by choking him out.

NORTH FORK The North Fork in the National Spotlight By Maria Orlando Pietromonaco Now mostly known for wine and corn mazes, the North Fork offers something more beyond the vines and fall festivities. The South Fork’s reticent counterpart is notably rich in history, with roots dating back 350 years. Thankfully its heritage has remained important to the families who live here, many bear names of early settlers such as Tuthill, Horton, Wickham and Reeves; and because of this, much of the area has been preserved and protected. There are stories to tell that lie within the walls of historic structures and buildings, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation plans on enlightening a lucky group of visitors through an organized tour in June. The Trust hand selects destinations throughout the world to enrich its members. “We chose the North Fork because, to be honest, most people don’t necessarily know about it,” explains Meg Annacone-Poretz, Associate Director of National Trust Tours. Though this tour, dubbed “Long Island’s Best Kept Secret,” is luring members from across the country, the Trust is hoping to attract people from the tri-state area who may be aware of this little gem of history. But as much as North Forkers are proud, they are also content to keep their treasure to themselves, conserving the area’s pristine landscape and long lineage. I had the privilege of compiling a North Fork history book several years ago, and through this I got to explore photographs and meet some of the area’s descendants. Though they were accommodating and eager to share their unique tales, I could sense that keeping the North Fork unaffected was of utmost importance. In my own words, this describes the demographic: “Escaping the urbanization that
overspread much of Long Island in the early 1900s, the rural villages survived on farming, fishing, shipbuilding, and maritime trading. Loyal residents have preserved the North Fork’s rich heritage and tranquil pace of life.” The National Trust tour invites participants to, “Come experience the beauty and natural wonders of the North Fork…We will explore its quaint villages, its sprawling vineyards, its beautiful gardens and private homes, and meet local preservationists and town officials.” The five-day tour commences on June 17 with a welcoming reception at the East End Seaport Maritime Museum. Stops on the tour include a tour of the Village of Greenport; a day with local preservationist and historian James Grathwhol beginning with a tour of the renovated Nautical Museum at Horton Point Lighthouse; a visit to Lavender By the Bay lavender farm; a walking tour of Village Lane; a tour of Hallockville Museum Farm and Brieremere Farms (voted the Best Farm Stand on Long Island) and more. The tour itinerary will also feature The Jedediah Hawkins Inn in South Jamesport, a stunning structure built by Captain Jedediah Hawkins in 1863. As a trouble-making teen I traipsed through the abandoned house (we swore it was haunted), and everything was left as it was, cobweb-ridden furniture, dusty dolls, creaky floors – just like in the movies. The tour promises a little bit of everything, including a stay at the exclusive Harborfront Inn in Greenport, authentic local cuisine, and of course
The East End Seaport Maritime Museum
a visit to a vineyard. Local guides include Nancy Gilbert and her husband, Richard Wines, as well as Gail Horton, a local historian with a deep ancestry. Wines serves as Chair of the Riverhead Town Landmarks Preservation Commission, and Gilbert is the treasurer of the Peconic Land Trust. Together they donated a conservation easement on their 15-acre property in South Jamesport in 2002, which protects agricultural land, scenic woodland, wetland, and beachfront. The property features their historic house, which once belonged to a whaling captain, a one-room schoolhouse, and a barn, all reclaimed from the surrounding area and moved onto their land—and they will all be a part of the tour.

Montauk Grand Marshal Mickey Valcich at the same venue on Saturday night, and culminating with the parade on Sunday. Being Grand Marshal “at any parade” would be an honor, but “the 50th anniversary is great.” Valcich will have had his practice run in the business of marching, at the big parade in New York City, before he takes to the street in Montauk’s slightly smaller spectacle. There, it will be his job to “make sure you get from the fire station to the IGA,” the official route of the parade. He and Valinda are the parents of two children, Tyler, 18, who is studying to become a diesel mechanic, and Carin, 22. The entire family loves animals, as evidenced by the dogs and cats constantly on hand at the couple’s downtown Montauk offices. Valinda typically has at least four dogs and lots of cats, and Carin, who lives in Texas, keeps charge of the family’s horses, along with her own three canine companions. “She doesn’t travel light,” chuckled Valcich, but she will be traveling nonetheless, to see her father honored in the weekend of festivities. Contrary to tradition, the parade will begin at 10 a.m. this year, and Valcich, along with many others, is hoping for a robust turnout of peaceful parade-goers. “It’s a good shot in the arm for Montauk,” he said, especially at the end of a long winter season.
K. Maier
By Kate Maier It seems only fitting that the man in charge of Montauk’s fleet of big green trucks is bestowed the honor, but Mickey Valcich’s civic contributions are the real reason for his being named Grand Marshal of the hamlet’s 50th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. It is to be held at 10 a.m. on Sunday, March 25, and is sponsored by the Montauk Friends of Erin. A citizen of Montauk since the age of three, Valcich is well known as the owner and operator of Mickey’s Carting and Mickey’s Montauk Mowing, a company he started in 1983. He is also a veteran of more than 30 years in both the Montauk Lions Club and the Montauk Fire Department. He is chairperson of the Montauk Junior Fire Department, a group he started in 2006. Despite his best efforts at humility, he is known for a boundless generosity towards neighbors in need, albeit anonymously. To that end he has given time, money and services to countless organizations and persons, including senior citizens and other financially marginalized groups. “We try to stay out of the limelight,” he said of himself and his lovely wife, Valinda. The spotlight cast on Valcich in the coming weekend may be a bit more Kelly green in hue than lime, but it is a spotlight nonetheless. He said he was particularly touched to be named Grand Marshal of this year’s festivities, which kick off with a luncheon in his honor at Gurney’s Inn on Friday, March 23, followed by a cocktail party

The Surf Lodge
By Kate Maier Ever a rude awakening for residents of our happily hibernating hamlet, St. Patrick’s Day and the inundation of inebriants reminds us here in Montauk of the forthcoming tide of tourists the season will bring. What better time to let the betting begin as to which of the numerous new restaurant rumors will come to fruition? If even half of these purely speculative assertions are true, Montauk will be home to enough new eateries to choke a flock of gulls this coming season. As of yet, no one has been able to prove that Subway has made a bid on the concession at the lighthouse, but given its new national landmark status, we would not be surprised. Rumors that construction on the former “smelly deli” on Main Street would result in $5 foot-longs for all are completely unfounded. Painstaking research performed via barstool at a number of our yearround fine dining establishments has revealed that
the spot is more likely to be reborn as a highend fish and chips joint, perhaps with outdoor dining, courtesy of the folks from Fish Bar. Further down the block, a former town councilwoman and local construction maven have designs on the Plaza Diner, where a menu of hip and healthy breakfast items has been suggested. Our hearts soar to see some of the old gang from Westlake Clam and Chowder house potentially reunited in a new kitchen. Word on the street suggests that Dustin Schick has recruited Tony Berkhofer to work at the spot formerly known as Luigi’s. Dustin’s new bride, Serena Vegessi Schick, well known as both a bartendress extraordinaire and a captain of the Lady Bones charter boat, is also involved in what appears to be a feverish renovation. Now for the fun stuff. What are those krazy kooks from the Surf Lodge up to next? A rash of rumors swept through our tumbleweed laden streets this winter, but alas, the suggestion that P. Diddy has purchased the lodge has been disproven. But that doesn’t rule out of the possibility of a smurf-run Bier Garten at the Old Oyster Pond. The harbor is in tumult as well, and the old Lenny’s, along with the adjacent gift shop, has been gutted by someone with money to make room for tables. Hipsters in the harbor? Meh. They’ve already invaded Liars’ Karaoke night. Another new kid on the block, described as an “accountant from New York City,” is working out some septic issues at the old Salivar’s before taking the interior to task. We bemoan the loss of the pool table, not to mention the quaint and cozy bathrooms. Meanwhile, Gosman’s Dock is on the prowl for a new chef, as longtime head honcho Sam Joyce has jumped ship. Will he steal half the staff and open

his own shop, maybe in place of Clemente’s Crab Shack? Or are we all just recovering from winter with nothing else to talk about? Lynn Calvo, a self-described lobsterman’s daughter and familiar face on the docks, has gained planning board approval for The Hula Hut, a daytime bar set up to quench the thirst of recreational fishers at the Montauk Marine Basin. Three cheers for daybombing! Let’s hope she gets through the health department hurdles in time to open for the season. Speaking of which, can it be true that someone is trying to put in a microbrewery beside the ball field? Surely that is just a rumor, along with half the allegations listed above. But if there’s any place that could use a brewery, this is it. Yes, the season has yet to begin, and already we’ve so much to discuss. Just wait until the people get here!

Mickey Valcich will serve as this year’s Montauk Friends of Erin Parade Grand Marshall. (See interview on page 30.) Valcich and Montauk Friends of Erin President Joe Bloecker appeared on the local television show “Beyond the Unexplained: Women of Spirit” last week, hosted by Janet Russell and Annmarie Davin. * * * Dan’s Papers has tapped Montauk writer/ photographer Kate Maier to head up its new Montauk Section. Look for this special section every week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. * * * Montauk is abuzz over Rufus Wainwright’s coming wedding to fiancé Jorn Weisbrodt on August 23. Will Wainwright wear white? * * * People we would like to see more of in Montauk this season include fun artists like Tina Fey and Julianne Moore. Moore’s modest summer abode on Fort Pond received finishing touches from local contractors last year. We’re not so hot on Sloppy Tuna patron Charlie Sheen, but are looking forward to the first annual Sloppy (tuna) Tattoo contest. No word yet on whether Sheen looks to participate in a bid for the $1,000 prize. The Tuna was also recently featured on an episode of “Bethany Ever After,” in which Bethany Frankel was spotted hanging ten with Randy Montuna, the Tuna’s resident midget. Tourists and locals alike will be on the watch for Montaukers Dick Cavett and Paul Simon. * * * Bridgehampton mushroom farmer and popular Montauk Farmers Market vendor David Falkowski became engaged to his long-time girlfriend Ashley Tomkiel while on vacation in Thailand last month. They are to be married on October 6, when the moon is in Cancer. Good karma. * * * There’s a casting call out for a reality television show in Montauk. We’ve a sneaking suspicion that anything that immediately claims not to be “The Jersey Shore” will end up like “The Jersey Shore.” Ugh. http://casting.backstage.com/jobseekerx/ viewjob.asp?jobid=vvucGWw%2BTiySrpFiCTCkOb Yqv8Nr * * * Sam Talbot, “Top Chef” victor and executive chef at Montauk’s Surf Lodge, recently spoke with CNN about living with Type 1 diabetes and his related new book, The Sweet Life. * * * The Lady from Dubuque, written by Montauk’s Edward Albee, is enjoying a well-reviewed revival at Manhattan’s Pershing Square Signature Center. Originally performed on Broadway in 1980, the current version was called “scintillating” by The New York Times. The show stars Jane Alexander, Catherine Curtin and Michael Hayden, and runs through April 1. See photo on page 28. * * * After a six-year process, the Montauk Point Lighthouse, commissioned by President Washington in 1792 and completed in 1796, was designated a national historic landmark. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has already signed the paperwork. * * * For the third year in a row, Cindi SansoneBraff, has been named Best Psychic by The Long Island Press.

From 1970 to 1995, Winterthur’s curatorial Southampton staff and Hummel were responsible for vetting the show.

The view from The garden Jeanelle Myers
Adding Curb Appeal with Plants
With the spring flowers beginning to appear at some of the garden centers, it is possible to easily add some “liveliness” to your entrance, pots and/ or landscape. This can be especially appropriate if offering your house for rent. Adding flowers at this time can be just the thing that tells a prospective renter that details at this house are attended to, in addition to signaling a warm welcome. If you already have a set of pots for the house, it is possible to begin the yearly plantings. Even if they are not frost resistant, planting can begin. (Remember, raising them up about two inches is always a good idea for drainage and just in case there is a frost.) Pansies are a favorite for this beginning planting and they will look beautiful in all pots; even a very large pot looks striking densely planted with pansies. They can also be added to beds
and many colors can be purchased in flats at good prices. They will last well into May if deadheaded. Flowering shrubs can also be used in pots or added to the landscape at this time. I saw the first spring blooming camellias at a local shop this weekend. These plants are available only when they are in bloom but they are a splendid addition to the garden. I have three in my garden that have grown quite large over the years and bloom profusely in the spring. They are glorious! They can begin their life at your house in a pot and then be transplanted to their permanent home when they are finished. Japanese pieris will soon be available as well and can be used like camellias. The beginning herbs and vegetables are also at the garden centers now. These can also be planted in pots at this time or into the garden or even into the flowerbeds. A vegetable/herb garden on the deck may be just the thing that convinces that renter. Pots of flowers, flowers and flowering shrubs and trees in the landscape, vegetable gardens, herb pots and gardens are all attractive to renters (and home owners), but must be cared for. Renters may be eager to care for a small herb garden on the deck or patio if they know that the pots require only some watering. Herbs in an herb bed, or in the landscape, if you have an irrigation system, will require only harvesting from the renter. Easy vegetables like lettuces can also be used in this kind of bed. We are beginning to recognize the value of a home vegetable garden and what a special addition to the
Pansies are a favorite this time of year!
summer renter’s experience – and yours – it can be. A good quantity of great produce can be grown in a small and very beautiful space, offering an opportunity that most people do not have. If you want to keep things more simple than the above, keep in mind flowering shrubs and trees that will live in the landscape with little regular care like Rose of Sharon, Enkianthus, lilac, hydrangea and magnolia. Consider adding vines like clematis, morning glory and Japanese honeysuckle. The season is upon us! Time to consider all things possible in the landscape, whether for ourselves or for a potential renter. For gardening discussions, call Janelle Myers at 631-434-5067.

FETTUCINE WITH WALNUT PESTO Served 2 to 3 “Where there’s a will there’s a way,” my mother used to say. The ‘will’ was to prepare a pesto with leaves from my flourishing basil plant for dinner one evening in my Miami Beach rental sans food processor or even a blender, and a delicious grilled salmon recipe with Dijon and balsamic vinegar for dinner another evening – without a grill or even an oven broiler. I used a good chefs knife (my own) to finely chop garlic, walnuts and julienne the stacked basil leaves, and then, with the end of a thick wooden spoon handle, I pounded the mix, incorporating extra-virgin oil, and it resulted in a darn good pesto to serve with the fresh, hand-made pasta I’m able to purchase at a store nearby. Fresh Market in South Beach brings in fresh fish three times a week. On one of those days I picked up a glistening piece of center cut salmon. With the heavy cast-iron ridged skillet I found in the bottom oven drawer I was happily able to stove top grill my marinated salmon, which was crisply delicious. Since it’s strawberry season in Florida and although rhubarb doesn’t grow like a weed they way
For the Pesto 1 cup walnuts halves or pieces, toasted 2 garlic cloves, peeled 2 cups fresh ricotta 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons freshly grated Reggiano 1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf Italian Parsley 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves 1 tablespoon fresh chives, thinly sliced Kosher salt and pepper 1/2 pound of Fettucine Butter 1. Heat a large pot of well-salted water to the boil while you are preparing the pesto. 2. Put the walnuts and garlic in the food processor, and pulse until the nuts are chopped into very tiny bits (but do not grind them into a powder). Scrape the ground nut-garlic mixture into the large bowl, and stir in the ricotta, olive oil, grated cheese, parsley, salt and pepper until thoroughly blended. 3.

it does on the East End, I prepared the strawberry rhubarb compote from my book, ‘Savoring the Hamptons: Discovering the Food and Wine of Long Island’s East End.’ The local supermarket chain carries frozen rhubarb, (rhubarb freezes well) which enabled me to prepare the delicious compote that we love to have over dulce de leche ice cream. The apartment is lovely other than limitations, re: kitchen equipment. I guess most folk don’t spend much time cooking while in Miami Beach.
Fettucine!
boiling, drop all the pasta into the pot at once and stir the pasta so it does not stick together. Cover the pot, and over high heat return the water to a boil rapidly. Set the cover ajar, and cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 4 minutes (or more, depending on the thickness), until the fettucine are perfectly al dente – in this dish, the pasta does not cook further when tossed with the pesto. 4. Working quickly, lift out the fettucine with a spider and tongs, and drop into the bowl with the dressing. Drop soft butter dollops on the hot pasta and toss until all the strands are nicely coated with the pesto – if the dressing is too thick, loosen it with a bit of hot water from the pasta pot as you toss. 5. Serve immediately in warm bowls with more grated cheese at the table.

GRILLED SALMON WITH DIJON BALSAMIC CRUST Serves 4 1 1/2 to 2 pounds center cut salmon fillet with skin Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots 1 tablespoon coarse Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1. Rinse the fillet and pat dry. Season both sides well with salt and pepper 2. Mix the shallots, Dijon and vinegar and coat both sides of the fillet with the dressing. Let marinate for up to 3 to 4 hours. 3. Preheat a gas grill or preheat grill pan over medium heat and place the fish skin side down. Skin should sizzle. Cook for 5 minutes on skin side without moving the fish then carefully turn with a large metal spatula or two spatulas to cook about 3 to 4 minutes longer on the flesh side without moving the fish. For medium rare the fish will be springy to the touch – or if preferred cook until fish is a bit firm for medium. Transfer fish to a carving board, skin-side-down, and slice into four even servings as well as possible. The pieces may look a bit raggedy but that’s fine. Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve.

Review: Southampton Publick House menus away, I decided that I wanted to start with a salad, and she created one with bleu cheese. It was nice to have her accommodate my off-the-menu request. For our main course, I chose to sample one of the brewery’s most popular items – the Grilled Cajun Chicken Sandwich. Topped with pepperjack cheese and guacamole and served on a fresh ciabatta roll, it’s definitely a must-try. Though it came recommended by our server, I’ll admit that the reason I chose it is because I am never one to pass up a good guac. I’m happy to report that there were chunks of avocado in this version, and it added the perfect coolant to the spicy kick of the chicken. My brother went with the Crab Cake Sandwich, which was uniquely topped with sweet corn relish and smoked paprika aioli. We were pretty full and decided to forgo dessert, but took note that it included an array of cookies, cakes and ice cream. Though we also opted out of finishing our meal with another pint, there’s no doubt that I’ll be back soon to enjoy the Double White and some March Madness.
K. Laffey
By Kelly Laffey I’m a big proponent of the local movement, and that encompasses buying local, eating local and, yes, drinking local. I’m not sure if Southampton realizes how lucky is it to have its own craft brewery – local beers can be as varied as local wines, and it’s fun to learn more about what you’re drinking and to know that care and attention is paid to creating unique, distinct flavors. With that in mind, my brother and I were very excited when the hostess offered to start our meal with a sampler of all of the Publick House’s current brews. Five minutes later, we had seven shot glasses of beer on our table to share. I enjoy Belgian-style beers, and the Publick House’s Double White always tops my list of favorite brews. Drawing inspiration from the classic Belgian white ale style, the Double White has a fuller citrus flavor, and it has won numerous awards in national beer competitions. Despite my obvious bias, I was equally willing to sample the remaining beers, and they did not disappoint. The Old Willy Winter, another seasonal brew, was the perfect spiced beer for a cooler night. My brother noted that his favorite was the Southampton Secret. I don’t think many people would disagree with his choice. A brewery isn’t a brewery without beer, but it also needs two equally compelling counterpart – the ambience and the classic American food. The Bowden

Arts-In-Education: Jackson Pollock At East Hampton Schools
Let’s be honest: the art scene is pretty slow during this time of year on the East End. Some galleries are closed for the season; others are open, but exhibits are few and far between. Even so, there’s a whole world out there where art thrives all year round. Yet very few people know about it. We’re talking about art that exists here in the public and private school systems. (We can’t vouch for other sections of the country, but a good guess would suggest art is not as valued in the curriculum.) One reason our locale respects art is due to its historic legacy; we’re the place where many important artists lived, especially Jackson Pollock whose centenary we are celebrating during 2012. Enter the Pollock Krasner House, where director Helen Harrison and her assistant, Ruby Jackson, have made it their mission to encourage interest in Pollock, especially now. The result: myriad murals, paintings and other homages to Pollock in many East Hampton elementary/ kindergarten programs. Jackson sets the scene for such art projects by visiting the schools and presenting an overview of Pollock’s life. But this is no ordinary perspective. It includes aspects that children can relate to:
HONORING THE ARTIST by Marion W. Weiss
Nicky Gioia Mitchell While this week’s cover artist, Nicky Gioia Mitchell, has painted local scenes in both her native Italy and her adopted America, there is a similarity between them: a sense of serenity and silence. (Mitchell claims there’s more silence in Italian landscape). The subjects might even be the same. Consider boats sitting by the edge of the sea, for example. Yet her Italian settings feature a style that’s more “primitive,” often with houses on a slant or diagonal. Not so with the images that romanticize Mitchell’s Water Mill surroundings: beaches and farm houses are seen at eye-level, roofs are rectangular. As this week’s cover demonstrates, the style is somewhat impressionistic, the water glistens, people are in the distance. Viewers feel as if they are voyeurs, actually sitting under an umbrella, watching the sea. We sense, however, that it is the artist herself who is really the voyeur. Q: I love your Italian paintings. When you were

Let’s hope the Jackson is a frequent visitor here, too, pushing rest of the country can catch up. there the last time, did you do any paintings or sketches? A: No. I just looked at the beauty of Italy. You can’t go home again. But I do miss the cypress trees in Florence. When I go there I get nostalgic. But Italy doesn’t belong to me. I live here in Water Mill. Q: But your memories are important. After all, you are writing a memoir. A: I am writing the memoir so my memories won’t get blurred. I don’t want to let them go. Q: You have lived here for 32 years, first visiting during the 1970s so I understand that it’s your home, but you were born and raised in Italy. A: Yes, in Florence. I had my first exhibit when I was eight years old in Florence. I also lived in Brussels and New York. Q: What attracted you to Water Mill? A: The beaches. They are unique. One of the seven wonders. They are poetic. Q: How about the beaches of the Caribbean? Pure white sand, blue water. A: They are like postcards. I like the emptiness of our beaches, the cloud formations, groups of people far away. Q: What attracted you to America, generally? A: It has a different character than Italy. America is more dynamic. Time is different also. In Italy, it’s “Tomorrow is another day.” When you are here, you do something right away. I switch back and forth.

Q: Speaking of changes, do you ever consider changing your subjects or medium? A: I am very faithful to my subjects. The enormous beaches, the countryside, the farm houses, the back roads Q: Would you change where you live? A: I lived in Arizona for 10 years. It was beautiful there, one-of-a-kind scenes: Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon. The sound of silence. But it doesn’t appeal to me. I love the beaches here. I can never get enough. I cherish them.

Dan’s Papers March 23, 2012 danshamptons.com Page 44
LETTERS THANK YOU DAN Dear Dan, I cannot tell you how touched and delighted I was to find that you had dedicated the March 9, 2012 edition to me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, your thoughtfulness means so much to me. With love, Sybil Christopher Sag Harbor Dedicating Dan’s Papers to you is the least we could do. –DR FLOATS THEIR BOAT Dear Dan, Thank you and Nanci LaGarenne for her great article in last week’s issue on the East End Classic Boat Society and its Community Boat Shop. The story really captures the spirit of the organization and the shop. Bill Good Southampton The East End Classic Boat Society
really look forward to March 20, first day of spring, balmy weather, blooming flowers, and the Great American Meatout. According to its website (www.meatout.org), Meatout has grown since 1985 into the world’s largest annual grassroots diet education campaign. A thousand communities in all 50 states and two dozen other countries host educational events. They challenge visitors to turn over a new leaf on the first day of spring, to kick the meat habit, and to get a fresh start with a wholesome diet of vegetables, fruits and grains. The Meatout diet is touted by leading health authorities. I found it very easy to follow, and I feel great. I get all the recipes and other information I need by entering “live vegan” in my Internet search engine. I spice up my diet by exploring the rich array of delicious soy and grain-based meat and dairy alternatives in my local supermarket. Sincerely, Brody Warden Calverton
That’s good. –DR AWAITING SPRING Dear Dan, This past winter brought us crippling droughts and tornadoes, continuing unemployment and partisan paralysis in Washington. I
Young Men Two young men have been arrested in East Hampton on burglary charges. One man is a 22-year-old and the other an 18-year-old Springs resident,. The two were arrested after they were connected to a string of thefts along Copeces Lane, Three Mile Harbor Hog Creek Road, Breeze Hill Road and Lincoln Road. The pair would break into houses and steal items such as alcohol, food, cash, Apple products and other electronics. They then sold some of the items. Shelter Island Old Man McGumbus, 103 years old and former World War II chemical weapons specialist, was working in his garage last week on a science experiment that went terribly wrong. McGumbus was attempting to make an advanced form of dynamite that, according to McGumbus, would have eight times more power than your average stick of dynamite. During one of his field tests
askdan@danspapers.com (e-mails only, please) There is no spring. We went straight to summer. –DR SAVING MONEY Dear Dan, Nassau and Suffolk County could probably enhance their revenues if New York State would grant them the opportunity of having their own county lottery. They could also use volunteer Auxiliary Police Officers to supplement services throughout the police precincts and the general community. Utilizing these and other cost effective measures would be steps in the right direction. And if these same counties were to offer suggestion awards on a website for public submittals just think of the possibilities of saving money that would all add up to the bottom line. Mike DePaoli Centereach A County Lottery surely will empty our pockets even further. –DR
Police Blotter Good Cabbie A man in Montauk walked into the 7-Eleven there, stole a beer out of a refrigerator and then walked out of the store. The police were called and when they contacted a cab driver, he told them that the man was intoxicated, was a frequent customer of his, and offered to pay the 7-Eleven owner for the beer, which the owner agreed to.

in his back yard, McGumbus attempted to detonate the dynamite. In an attempt to control the explosion, he used a cast iron bathtub to cover over the dynamite when he set it off. Unfortunately, the explosion was so strong that it sent the cast iron tub several miles into the air, and the tub crashed landed directly on top of The Shelter Island Coffee Hipster House, destroying the entire building. Several hipsters were seen running out of the coffee house in terror, many of them running into each other because the violence from the destruction caused their black-rimmed eyeglasses to fall off. McGumbus, who is well known for his dislike of The Shelter Island Coffee Hipster House, denied all accusations that the bathtub incident was intentional, and assured all hippies that it was just an accident in a press release that he typed out by hand which stated, “To all you damn hippies accusing me of destroying your hippie headquarters with a cast iron bathtub, I say to you it was not intentional. Unlike you damn hippies, I deal with my problems face to face, man to man, flame-thrower to flame-thrower.” Angry at the Mail? An East Hampton man reported that somebody pulled up his mailbox out of the ground and then hurled into the street, destroying it. —By David Lion Rattiner
MCGUMBUS Dear David, Ok, I admit the first thing I read in Dan’s Papers is what old man McGumbus has done. Is he a real? Why does his age change in every issue if he is real? Damn, I think I may be asking all over again, is Santa real?.....It’s ok I can handle the truth (I will not tell anyone either, promise.) Regards, Mike Long Upisland I’ll ask him and find out. –DLR GRRLS Dear Stacy, I enjoy your stories/columns very much. Your style adds a great touch to Dan’s Papers! Susan Saiter New York Thanks, you rock too.–SD

Advertising Account executive (WesthAmpton)
If you are in the business of selling advertising solutions including print, digital, email and events you know how challenging this job can be. If you are lucky, you are able to align yourself with a media company that has been an icon in the market and is known for innovation and results. While the opportunity does not present itself very often we have such an opportunity available today as an Advertising Account Executive. As the largest weekly community publication and dominating website in the Hamptons and on the East End, Dan’s Papers and danshamptons.com provides a unique editorial spin on all things East End distributed from Montauk to New York City every week. No other medium offers a more effective way to reach the affluent audience of Long Island’s East End and the Manhattanites that frequent this unique demographic Unlike other publications, newspapers and websites, Dan’s offers an insightful spin on topics of interest to our dedicated readership of second homeowners and savvy “locals” looking for a fresh perspective. The content features Founder Dan Rattiner’s insightful, often whimsical POV on regional news, and social/political commentary. Other feature writers and subject matter experts provide informed, entertaining articles and editorials on many topics.
The role of the advertising account executive is simple. We are looking for a talent whose strong selling skills are client-focused with an ability to sell advertising & marketing programs across a variety of media platforms including print, digital, email and events. You are outgoing, personable, willing to put in the hours it takes to be successful, have excellent organizational skills and work habits. Be prepared to attend after-hours functions and events where you will network with potential new clients, become a participating member of the community at local associations and organizations and become a contributing member of a close-knit advertising account executive team at Dan’s Papers LLC. Dan’s Papers LLC offers a competitive compensation plan of draw vs. commission for a salesperson with a proven track record of success plus a benefit package including paid time off, medical/dental, 401k, and a brand new state of the art office work environment in the Heart of the Hamptons. (No relocation is provided, territory available is on the East End of Long Island in Suffolk County, you should live in or near the area to which you would be assigned) Please forward your resume, cover letter and required compensation to bedelman@danspapers.com
