The day we stopped talking about chemical fertilizers and did something about them. Up until that date we were as guilty as anyone in the use of petroleum-based fertilizers. But as evidence of the danger these toxins presented to the environment became too obvious to ignore we took them all off our Garden Shop shelves and no longer used them on landscape jobs. Fortunately for the environment (and us), more and more people are using our Organics. Organics have improved so much that you can have a beautiful lawn and garden while feeling a whole lot better about this world we all live in.

GIVE YOUR CHILD A HEALTHY SMILE

Many parents don’t realize how early dental problems can occur, or just how important those “baby teeth” are! Prolonged and frequent bottle or breast feeding can cause baby bottle tooth decay. Diets high in sugar from fruit rollups, sticky candies, juice and soda can also cause lots of cavities. Thumb and pacifier habits can cause malformations of the palate. Children are not done losing their baby teeth until they are 12-13 years old! These teeth hold the spaces for permanent teeth, shape your child’s face, and help with speech, eating and chewing. Dr. Nancy Cosenza specializes in dentistry for children from infancy to their teenage years. At Hampton Pediatric Dental Associates, we know that not only children, but their

teeth, are entirely different from adults. In fact, pediatric dentists require 2 years’ additional training and education beyond dental school! (There are only 5,000 pediatric dentists in the U.S. and we’re the only pediatric dental practice in the Hamptons!) Our office is colorfully painted and cheerfully designed a definite “kid-friendly” environment. Our staff is geniunely warm and cheerful too! Call us at (631) 287-8687 if you have any questions or would like to arrange an appointment. Remember that good dental habits and experiences started in childhood will last a lifetime! We know how to make kids leave the dentist’s chair smiling -- and their parents, too!

NOW W AVAILABLE Digital Radiography uses 80% less Radiation with x-rays for your child!

Buried 1986 Contents That Were in a Time Capsule Stolen in Southampton By Dan Rattiner Dan’s Papers is approaching its 50th anniversary. I founded it in 1960 as a college student. It will be 50 years old in 2010. Over the years, there have been big anniversaries of one sort or another when a time capsule filled with things has been put together and buried in a public place, to be dug up in a hundred years or so. As a young publisher, I never kept track of when these things occurred, and when they did, felt sort of left out because nobody contacted me about possibly saving a copy of Dan’s Papers. But then I thought, well, the paper is new and not well established. Of course, they’d want to put in one of the 100-year-old mainstream weekly newspapers along with the other items. One year, I did learn about the burying of a time capsule in the Hamptons, and so I called the appropriate authorities only to receive the ultimate rejection — don’t call us, we’ll call you. And then, of course, no call back.

It was, therefore, a great and wonderful feeling when, in 1990, I got a call from the Mayor of Southampton Village at the time, Roy Wines Jr., who told me that to celebrate the occasion of the village’s 350th anniversary, they were burying a time capsule alongside the pond down by the ocean off Old Town Road, not to be opened until the 400th anniversary, and could I give them a copy of this newspaper. I considered it a sort of coming of age back then. We

under a big boulder, moved the boulder and dug it up. They took out what was inside the capsule, then threw the metal capsule itself — a six-foot long six-inch diameter plastic pipe — into the bushes, and went off. At the time, and this was more than a year ago, the crime was reported by Thomas Rewinski, an employee of the Parks Department, who got a call from a resident near by who said he had gone out that morning and saw this big pile of dirt, the boulder moved, and the hole in the ground. Rewinski went down there, reported it to the police, then got a crew and sealed up the hole — it went down about six feet — and then had the boulder hauled off to a building at the public works yard on Willow Street along with the empty time capsule. Last week, he learned the police had never found out who did it and that they had closed the investigation. He called The Southampton Press — I don’t know if they were asked to put anything in there but perhaps they were — and they printed this account of it in their paper where I read it, and now am writing this account of it. First of all, I would like to say that I didn’t do this. It would not be in my interest to do this.

It seems like a particularly complicated business for someone who just got drunk and wanted to do a little vandalism.

Dan Rattiner is the founder of Dan’s Papers. His memoir, In the Hamptons: Fifty Years With Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities will be published by Harmony Books this May.

had made it. No matter what happened, far, far into the future, 50 years down the road from that time, it would be dug up and people would marvel at some of the things that got put in there, one of which would be Dan’s Papers. Well, I recently learned that the contents of this time capsule were stolen not long ago. One night some person or some group of people had come down to where this capsule was buried

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cover of our wonderful leader, Dan Rattiner, is by none other than Michael Paraskevas, who is celebrating his 20th year with Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Papers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; countless covers, 2,000 cartoons, Junior Kroll and The Green Monkeys. Paraskevas will be having a show at Hampton Road Gallery in Southampton during the first two weeks of August with an opening that is sure to be a hot ticket. * * * While ex-presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani was seen dining at Sag Harborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Hotel last week, his wife Judy was seen bargain shopping at TJ Maxx at the Bridghampton Commons. * * * â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gossip Girlâ&#x20AC;? cast member and 2007 Michael Award winner for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supermodel of the Yearâ&#x20AC;?

But because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only $2.9 million remaining in the campaign account, refunds will be dispersed on a prorated basis. So hurry! * * * Enclave Inn and Wainscott Studios owner Michael Wudyka is embarking on a new business venture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a cafĂŠ set to open in the space previously occupied by Tugboatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Sea House in Southampton. The new joint will feature comfort food and live music. * * * At the time of his death, Roy Scheider was one scene away from completing his last movie, Iron Cross. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casting director is working with a Hollywood make-up artist to create a replica of Scheiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face so the final scene can be shot using a stand-in actor. * * * New Southampton resident Rachael Ray held a fundraiser that raised over $200,000 for her charity Yum-o!, which empowers kids and their families to develop healthy relationships with cooking, at a one-night only, 75-seat restaurant called CafĂŠ Una Notte. Attendees included Bill Clinton, Katie Lee Joel, Joy Behar and Carly Simon, who performed a four-song set. * * * In her highly publicized memoir, Audition, Barbara Walters devotes some five pages to her first husband, the late Robert Katz, who died in the Hamptons many months ago.

Capsule

Secondly, I would like to say I find it hard to imagine who would do such a thing. It seems like a particularly complicated business for someone who just got drunk and wanted to do a little vandalism. But then I thought maybe it was someone who had something down in there he later regretted having put there — when dug up might embarrass him or his family or his memory. Or else it was just somebody curious about what was going on in Southampton 18 years ago. Maybe a historian. Maybe two people who had some sort of bet. Well, it was pretty dumb, it seems to me, that on this boulder they put a bronze plaque announcing that beneath it lay a time capsule of stuff from Southampton in 1990 not to be opened until 2040. Now wasn’t that a tempting

thing to be saying to everyone passing by. In any case, I would like to report what stories ran in the copy of Dan’s Papers buried in this time capsule on New Year’s Eve of 1990. We keep back copies of the paper. We have copies of the paper going back all the way to 1960. And so does the Library at Stony Brook University on Long Island where my personal papers are being collected. One story was by Ellen Keiser, one of our reporters back then, who went to the off-limits Plum Island Animal Disease Research Center by pretending to be an employee there to celebrate the fourth annual Family Day party. There was an article about the sharp downturn in real estate prices. A three-bedroom house on the ocean, on the market at $3 million had been

sold for $850,000. The Shinnecock Tribe was fighting to get some Indian remains in a Southold museum returned to them for a proper burial. There was an article with the headline SECRET PARADISE: The North Fork is Beautiful, Peaceful and Still Undiscovered. Some of the advertisers included the New Moon Café in East Quogue, Bobby Van’s in Bridgehampton (with Bobby at the piano), the Coach Factory Store in Amagansett, the Morris Studio in Southampton and Reed’s Photoshop and Studio on Newtown Lane in East Hampton. Perhaps the most interesting article, however, was the lead story, which I wrote. It was called HELLO 2040. And here is what it said in its entirety.

Dear Kids: At this point, I know most of you don’t think of yourself as kids. But as I write these words in December of 1990, a good many of you are running around the sofa, peeing in your diapers, chasing one another with sticks and playing Nintendo. You are listening to the Chipmunks on your cassette players, you are watching cartoons on Nickelodeon, you are looking to see where we adults have hid the presents. If that ain’t kids, I don’t know what is. Well, that’s some of you. As for the rest of you, and if we are five billion people, you are probably ten billion, you aren’t even a gleam in your parent’s eye. You are future kids. One reason I bring this up, you should know, is that we’ve been worrying about you. This is a new experience for us. Until now, nobody has really thought much about what things were going to be like for you people way down the road. We worried about tomorrow. Literally. We worried about the day after tomorrow. We did our best, and very largely succeeded, in making life a better place for ourselves and our families than it had been a few days before. We called it progress. I imagine this is old hat to you by now. If we’ve just begun to be concerned here in 1990, you must be all over the lot trying to set everything straight. Still, I think it is worth mentioning. For the whole history of mankind, until about 1800, people got along fine without progress. Then came the invention of the machine gun (now people could REALLY take things away from other people), the invention of the telephone, the steam engine, the electric light, the automobile, the airplane and every other damn thing. And for a long, long time, people were all excited by the wonder of it, figuring that everything would just get better and better and what would they think of next? Nobody ever thought we’d have to pay the piper. Well, in 1990, here it is. If what we have found out in the last twenty years is true, you are now spending much of your time devising strategies to deal with the depletion of the ozone layer, the difficulties of obtaining food for so many people, and the devastating loss of jungles and forests. I presume you have solved the problem of what kind of fuel to burn. (We have just had a very bad go around with nuclear (continued on page 60)

The Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach

A Shock Just an Ordinary Monthly Meeting of the Trustees in WHB By Dan Rattiner The Westhampton Beach Village Trustees hold a meeting open to the public on the first Thursday of every month at Village Hall. What follows is an account of this meeting by someone who was there. I find it shocking. What this meeting was not supposed to be about was the eruv. That would be discussed at a special meeting of the Trustees on May 28, when the matter would be voted upon. The Trustees consist of the Mayor, Conrad Teller, and four Trustees — James Kemetler, Joan Levan, Toni-Jo Birk and Hank Tucker. So there are five of them. In any vote, there could be a majority.

An eruv is a religious structure, like a church steeple or the dome of a mosque or a manse, that consists of wires up on telephone poles, which high up encircle a particular community to symbolically unite it into a “home.” It is something that rabbis in the Orthodox Jewish faith wish to have, for the simple reason that in that religion, the orthodox branch interprets the Bible in such a way as to prohibit certain behaviors outside the home on the Sabbath. The eruv, in creating a larger “home,” simply allows these activities to take place. They include pushing a baby carriage and lifting heavy objects. So in an eruv, an Orthodox family would be able to push small children in

strollers or baby carriages when they go to services on the Sabbath, rather than carry them. That’s about it for what an eruv does, from a practical perspective. In any case, there are eruvs in many cities and towns in the country. The courts have ruled that towns and villages must allow them, unless there are extraordinary circumstances in that community. There’s an eruv surrounding the White House in Washington. There are at least five communities on Long Island that have eruvs up. With that in mind, here is how this meeting progressed. (continued on the next page)

PLOW UP AND TAKE AWAY THAT FARMLAND By Dan Rattiner About eight years ago, an eco-farm opened up directly across the street from the East Hampton High School on a piece of property that, until recent times, had been a potato farm. The eco-farm people announced they would be planting and growing fresh, organic vegetables there. Within a year, it was discovered that the soil was just barely fit for growing anything — it was heavily laced with arsenic, left over from some agricultural chemical spray that had been put on the potatoes decades earlier when nobody suspected that the sprays could be bad for humans.

The eco-farm is still there, although I believe they are farming only on special plots using soil that has been transported in. The rest of the property is divided between a potato field farm and a tree farm. Three weeks ago, there was a big dust storm in the community and some of the soil was carried across to the high school property. Monitoring equipment there determined that at one point during the storm the arsenic levels were so high as to be off the charts. Since then, I believe the town has done absolutely nothing. Not long ago, in Southampton, I visited the

Olde Towne land development project being built on the former farm across from Southampton Hospital. This project will result in ten houses on 40 acres, with another 24 acres left as open space, with much of it available to the public. When I was there, however, the topsoil of the farmland was being cleared into great piles, exposing the underlying sandy soil that covers much of the bedrock that is eastern Long Island. Walking with Bob Gianos, the developer of the property, I asked about this great mound of (continued on page 62)

DAN'S PAPERS, May 23, 2008 Page 48 www.danshamptons.com (continued from previous page)

The Trustees looked at each other. Them? Actually walk around? “Well,” the Mayor said, “why don’t we take a vote right now about the eruv?” There was some talk about that, about whether they should wait until May 28 and whether it was appropriate to have it now when they were supposed to wait. One person asked if the rumor was true that if they put an eruv up Jews would be free to walk right across your lawns, and the Mayor said no. Private property would still be private property. Another person said they were opposed to the eruv because birds might fly into the wire and get hurt. Someone else said there are plenty of other wires on telephone poles and the birds don’t fly into them.

The Mayor opened the meeting by announcing that what they would not be discussing is the proposed eruv, because that would be adjudicated on May 28. He then asked if anybody had anything they wanted to talk about. A woman in the back stood up. “I own a store on Main Street,” she said, “and I’m Jewish. I wanted to know why you had police officers go from store to store the other day asking everybody if they had a problem with the Jews and the proposed eruv.” “I wanted to see if people are worried about it,” Mayor Teller said. “Don’t you think that’s a little intimidating, sending the police around?” “Who else would we send?” “Maybe you could walk around yourself. Or some of the Trustees could.”

In the back of the room sat two women. One of them leaned over and said something to the other loud enough for those around her to hear, but not for the Trustees to hear. “Just what we need. More Jews.” The vote was taken. The Mayor added the phrase “at this time” to his proposal, so that, in the event it didn’t pass, they could discuss it on May 28. The Mayor voted in favor of it. So did Trustee Kemetler. But the two women Trustees, Joan Levan and Toni Jo Birk, voted no, as did Hank Tucker, who owns a cheesecake company in the industrial park up at the airport. So the vote did not pass. After other matters were attended to, the meeting adjourned, and people filed out into the hall where they milled around. One person, who was shocked by what the women had said, told another that the women did not look familiar to him and he wondered whether they were from Westhampton Beach. “They are from Quogue and Quiogue,” his friend said, “not from Westhampton Beach.” And so everybody went home. The eruv matter will be discussed and voted upon again on May 28, as planned. •

Fondly Remembered God Bless the Local Bank President Who Gave Loans on Handshakes By Dan Rattiner The memoir I have written, In the Hamptons, is now out. Published by Harmony Books, it’s being distributed nationally in all bookstores and websites wherever books are sold. So far there have been seven published reviews of the book. They are all posted on danrattiner.com. All of them have been favorable. Beginning on May 6 when the book debuted, I have been holding readings. I read a chapter at a party in Manhattan on May 7, another at a party at the Wölffer Estate Vineyards on May 9, at BookHampton in East Hampton on May 10, and at the Atlantic Avenue Beach on May 11. I’m going to be reading chapters all over the place for the next two months, all of them in the Hamptons and all at the locations where the

chapters take place. You can pick up the book and open it to any chapter. All chapters are free standing, all can be read in about 15 minutes, and all are about some local person or celebrity I have known. The reading at Atlantic Avenue Beach was held there this past Saturday because that was where the Nazi saboteurs, subsequently captured and executed, landed by submarine on a June night in 1942. I have a chapter in the book about the making of a science fiction thriller that stars a mad Nazi scientist. It was made not far from this beach. And I participated in the making of the movie. Another chapter in the book is called “Merton Tyndall.” And it was at this reading on the beach in Amagansett, that I learned an aston-

ishing thing I did not know about this man. In attendance was Connie Anderson, who many years ago owned a part of Amagansett where Skimhampton Road and Montauk Highway come together, that she called Franklin Square. It turned out she knew Merton Tyndall quite well. Merton Tyndall, when I met him I was 22, was the President of the Bridgehampton Bank. I had gone to ask him for a loan to finance the expanding enterprise, Dan’s Papers, which I had suddenly discovered I could not run for the summer without borrowing money from the bank. I sat across from him. Here’s the passage from that chapter, the second chapter in the book. (continued on the next page)

WEST HAMPTON DUNES: TROUBLE IN PARADISE By Dan Rattiner Now here is an interesting bit of information. For the last year, the police in the tiny village of West Hampton Dunes have had their accreditation suspended and so are not authorized to write out tickets. They can wear a uniform, they can intimidate you into moving on, and they can write you something that looks like a ticket, but Dan Rattiner is the founder of Dan’s Papers. His memoir, In the Hamptons: Fifty Years With Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities will be published by Harmony Books this May.

if you choose not to pay it, there is nothing they can do. I learned this interesting bit of information from a retired advertising man named Lanny Lambert who lives full time in one of the oceanfront homes in the Village of West Hampton Dunes and has chosen to challenge the sitting Mayor, Gary Vegliante, in the upcoming election on June 17. Before I move on with other claims and charges by Lambert about the Mayor who has run this Village unopposed for the last 15 years, I guess I should tell you a little bit about West Hampton Dunes. You may not have even heard

of this place, and that is because the Mayor, and up until now, many of the residents, have wanted it that way. The Village of West Hampton Dunes consists of 340 homes along the Dune Road peninsula that juts out from the much larger Village of Westhampton Beach. Westhampton Beach was founded in 1662. Dune Road was founded by Gary Vegliante in 1993. There is just one road, Dune Road, which runs the full three-mile length of this peninsula. A few houses are waterfront on Moriches Bay on the north. All the rest are oceanfront on the (continued on page 64)

Remembered

(continued from previous page)

“I brought you a copy. Have a look. It was originally eight pages long. Then the next summer it was sixteen pages long. Then last year twentyfour pages long. I’ve paid my way through grad school with it. Now, last fall I went around to see the storeowners for this upcoming year and they bought even MORE advertising. I’m going to have to publish thirty-six pages a week.” “And now you need to borrow a thousand dollars,” he said. “Yes. But I’ll pay it back. Here. Look at all the orders I have. But for the first time I can’t afford to pay the printer without this thousand dollars.” “You are being ruined by your own success.” “Sort of. But then the money will come in, and I’ll pay you back, which should be in July, and then I’ll make even more than I did last year. I

really don’t understand it.” “That’s how it goes,” he said. “You’d think that the more business I did, the LESS amount of money I’d have to borrow.” “That’s why banks are in business.” “So you’ll do this?” “If you say you’ll pay it back, I think you’ll pay it back.” He leaned forward. “I judge you to be a man of your word.” Having thus agreed to lend me the money, he now opened his desk, took out a checkbook and wrote the amount to me. I asked — wasn’t there some loan agreement I had to sign? He said no. If you say you’ll pay it back in August, I believe you. And so I left with the money, simply amazed at that. This was the essence of the chapter. Two

years later, also in the chapter, he called me up at the office down the street. Again, from the book. “I’m sorry to call you about this,” he said. “But I wondered if you could find the time to stop by the bank. Tomorrow, perhaps.” “Is anything wrong?” I asked. “Nothing we can’t fix,” he said. They ushered me into his office the next day around 10 a.m. Merton Tyndall smiled. “You know, I have always lent you this money and you have always paid it back,” he said. “Yes?” “Well, it seems I have to get something in writing. There is a banking regulations board called the FDIC. And they came by. And they said I have to ask you to come in to sign a note.” “A note?” “A promissory note. A paper that says you will pay this back. Damned if I know. I told them you ALWAYS pay it back. Your word is good. But they said no, ask him to come in and sign this note. So, I have to.” After I read the chapter of my book about the science fiction movie, I asked if there were any questions or comments and a few people asked for further details about the Nazi activities and how they got to be caught. Then Connie Anderson, who I recognized from all those years ago and hadn’t seen in at least 20 years, stood up. “I just want to say,” she said, “that I loved the chapter you wrote about Merton Tyndall. I read your book. And you may not know this, but Mr. Tyndall, this wonderful man who was President of the Bridgehampton bank for 50 years — no other bank president in history ever remained in that office for so long — also lent loans to others like the one he lent to you. “And I know this, because he lent one to me. He called them ‘character loans.’ We all paid them back. And you know whom else he lent money this way to? The Gosmans. And the Hrens. There would be no Gosman’s Restaurant, and there would be no Hren Nursery if he had not made these ‘character loans.’” After the reading broke up, I went over and hugged Connie Anderson. I told her I had no idea I was not the only one. Indeed, I told her, I had thought that perhaps my father might have been behind it, calling the bank ahead of time to guarantee the loan to me. He owned White’s Drug Store in Montauk at the time. And he banked at Bridgehampton. But he denied he’d had anything to do with it. I had asked him. “Merton Tyndall was one of the great men of the East End,” Connie said. “A lot of people will remember what he did.” * * * The next reading of In the Hamptons will take place on Saturday morning at 11 a.m., also in Montauk, right on the Plaza in the center of town at the gazebo. The chapter is called “Frank Tuma Jr.,” and it is about my adventures in the big seven-story building across from the Plaza, which today is a condominium, but then was an abandoned wreck of an office building last occupied in 1938. All the readings are free. A list of the upcoming readings can be found at danrattiner.com. •

Let’s Play Ball! Rusty Leaver’s Hellbent on Bringing College Baseball to East End By David Lion Rattiner On Cape Cod during the summertime, a family can pack up a lunch and a blanket and go to one of the many baseball fields there to watch some of America’s top players. The Cape leagues have bred players like Nomar Garciaparra and Jason Varitek. Tickets to games do not cost $200 a piece for good seats and a hot dog isn’t $7. The rivalries and the games played, however, are intense and the fans are serious. Collegiate baseball on Cape Cod has a reputation for producing major league players. The games draw hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people, and the players and the young people who follow them

there become an important part of the fabric of the wealthy tourist area. Here in the Hamptons, we don’t have collegiate baseball — yet. But there’s a guy in Montauk who’s working on it, and his name is Rusty Leaver. Leaver is the man behind Montauk’s Deep Hollow Ranch, the oldest cattle ranch in America, and he has an eye for entertainment that is fun and family oriented. In Montauk he’s known for his “Living History Cattle Rides.” On these events, folks ride on an old-fashioned horse-drawn wagon through the trails of his ranch for a show that features actors portraying significant American historical figures such as Theodore Roosevelt. Leaver

does his rides all summer long and they’re very popular and entertaining. Leaver’s vision this year is not about his ranch. It’s about baseball. He has a passion for the sport and has noticed that the Hamptons is lacking a professional sports venue that’s open to the entire public. Leaver also has seen firsthand the success of the baseball leagues in Cape Cod and is completely confident that he can pull off the same feat in the Hamptons. He was happy to learn that Long Island already has a league of this type called Long Island’s Atlantic College Baseball League and wanted the Hamptons to be a part of it.

WILD, CRAZY SHARE HOUSE? KEEP IT TO YOURSELF By Victoria L. Cooper Even though comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s house was rated the best partying pad in the Hamptons by OK Magazine in 2007, his 12acre waterfront property, purchased in 2000 for $32 million from Billy Joel, has got nothing on the share “party” houses up for grabs this summer season. Just imagine sharing a house with 16 or more 20 to 30-year-olds, with catered bagel breakfasts each morning overlooking the ocean and bay, just steps from the hottest Hampton nightclubs. If you’re really interested, the Internet has once again brought home the

bread via YouTube. Prospective sharers can browse Craigslist, the listing site for everything from gum to missed encounters on the L subway, that’s now putting out ads chock full of videos of Terry, Todd and Claudia living it up in the hot tub and pool with their Heineken minikeg. Gayle Polansky, 26, who has stayed in various share houses across the Hamptons since 2003 said, “It’s a win-win situation. There are always new friends to make, new places to go, and the beaches are clean. It’s like going to camp.” Polansky, who is a native of Manhattan, became interested in renting in the Hamptons

after she went to a “meet and greet happy hour” in New York City to mingle with potential roommates. “I’ve had the time of my life,” she said. There are other incentives to go group. The price is relatively cheap — in some cases it’s under $500 for the summer but remember that you’re dividing this among 20 or more people. But most of all, it’s a networking thing. Perhaps even a romantic thing. There’s no denying the temptation to flirt or have a true “summer shareholder love.” And what nontrust fund socialite can afford to rent a place (continued on page 83)

Although housing is almost always an issue for just about anyone moving to the Hamptons, Leaver is making sure that his Whalers have some very nice homes to stay in. In fact, through a volunteer housing program, Hamptons homeowners have offered players lodging for the summer so that they don’t have to worry about rent and can focus on winning baseball games. This is a key example of how the community is supporting the idea of bringing collegiate baseball to the Hamptons and doing their part in helping it succeed. So if baseball is in your blood, you’ll have some very exciting live games to go to this summer, and if you see Leaver on the field strategizing while chewing on some bubble gum, give him a tip of the hat.

Meet the Beatles Local Boys Morph into the Fab Four to Take You Back By Debbie Tuma I walked into the wonderful, old Vail Leavitt Music Hall in Riverhead recently, to find John, Paul, George and Ringo standing together right in the lobby. At least it looked like them from afar, except for the obvious mop-top wigs, but these four guys in their black Chesterfield suits really did look the part. Suddenly they ran out for a curtain call to perform in their popular band, Strawberry Fields. As soon as the curtain went up, and I saw the three Beatles standing with their red and gold guitars on the stage, and Ringo was back there with his Ludwig drums, my heart

skipped a beat. I was back in seventh grade — a 13-year-old watching these strange new guys with crazy English accents on the Ed Sullivan show. They were singing, “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “She Loves You,” and all the other romantic love songs from their first album that made all the girls swoon, faint and throw themselves at their feet. The whole rush of why I loved the Beatles just came over me again for the ten thousandth time. The mischievous look in the smiling eyes of Paul McCartney when he sang, “Till There Was You,” and the bluesy, raspy voice of Ringo when he sang, “Roll Over Beethoven,” and “Act

Naturally.” The songs that just made you want to get up and dance, like “Twist and Shout,” “Day Tripper,” “I Saw Her Standing There,” and “The Night Before.” And people did get up and dance, right in the aisles. Now, staring at these four fabulous Beatles on stage, singing all my favorite songs — it doesn’t matter that they all come from Suffolk County, instead of Liverpool. And John’s name is really Tony Garofalo, of Ridge, and Paul is really Billy Ray from Westhampton Beach, and George is Mark Vaccacio of Shirley, and Ringo (my favorite Beatle) is Gerard Barberine, also of Shirley.

NEW GENERATION OF ARTISTS ON THE EAST END By David Lion Rattiner Editor’s Note: Due to a production issue beyond our control, this article did not appear in its entirety last week. It is reprinted in full below. –S. Galardi They might be cutting your lawn, serving you food, or cleaning your pool. And they might be local artists. Despite the economy and rising housing costs, the Hamptons still manages to attract artists who will do anything to live and work here. Artists are as important to the community here as farmers, fishermen and American Express black cardholders. The East End has a tradition of providing inspiration to

world-renowned artists like Jackson Pollack and Williem De Kooning, and it is home to artists in other disciplines such as Edward Albee, Peter Beard, Randy Rosenthal and Julian Schnabel. Without our local art scene, the Hamptons would just be another wealthy resort town where art is defined by paparazzi photos. Why is there still a next generation of artists, writers, musicians and gallery owners on the East End, even though the cost of living in the Hamptons has changed so dramatically? Can a new artist come into town like he could 40 years ago, buy a house, make a studio, all on

a small budget? No, he cannot, and yet they are still here and they are for real. Twenty-something artist Grant Haffner cannot afford a home out here, but he can support his passion. The local painter, who grew up in Springs, right down the street from Jackson Pollack’s house, has a studio in his parents basement and works as a landscaper and at the Dan Flavin Art Institute in Bridgehampton. He is a member of Bonac Tonic, a local art group, and is developing a reputation for his landscapes of streets and telephone poles in the Hamptons. “My goal is (continued on page 73)

Beatles

Their friend and promoter Steve Montegue had brought them to the Vail Leavitt Music Hall for the third year, back by popular demand, and he has packed the house. The group has attracted fans aged 18 to 80, including diehards like me and my 50-something friends Christine and Andrew, to relive our favorite era and memories of the 1960s and ‘70s, and this is what the Strawberry Fields tribute band is all about. Hearing this band of powerful vocalists and guitarists, it is not hard to believe that they were the former stars of the hit Broadway show Beatlemania during the 1970s. “Billy Ray (Paul) and Mark Vaccacio (George) were in the original cast of Beatlemania at the Winter Garden,” said Tony Garofalo (John). “Gerard Barberine (Ringo) and I were in the touring company that traveled around the country after Beatlemania closed in 1979.” He explained that after this musical left Broadway, it became a touring act. After that, these four former Beatles got together and formed their own tribute band, “Strawberry Fields,” in 1990. “Our concept was to take this popular show out of the theaters, at $100 a ticket, and make it accessible to people everywhere,” said Garofalo, who is a dead ringer for John in his long-haired

Strawberry Fields

wig and round wire-rimmed glasses. So far, they’ve ambitiously performed up to 200 gigs a year at venues including Westbury Music Fair, the Felt Forum, at the New York City Marathon, and at numerous private concerts, weddings, and college and high school reunions throughout Long Island and the tristate area. They presently perform every Saturday for brunch at the popular blues club, BB King’s, at Times Square in New York City, and this summer, they will also be playing at parks in Smithtown, Lake Grove and North Babylon. “One of our biggest highlights was performing at Shea Stadium for the 40th anniversary

of the Beatles, in August of 2005. We played to 37,000 people, and Sid Bernstein announced us on the field,” Garofalo recalled. “Another highlight was when Sean Lennon came to one of our shows, and he said he was blown away.” When asked why this “Fab Four” group decided to get into the Beatles biz, Gerard Barberine (Ringo) replied, “The four of us feel it’s the greatest music ever written. The Beatles reached everyone.” I told him I had a Ringo doll. Garofalo added, “Their popularity, and how they changed the culture of the ’60s — it’s a phenomenon that will never be repeated.” And their three-hour show at the Vail Leavitt just kept getting better. In Act Two, they came out dressed in psychedelic satin jackets and hats like the Sargeant Pepper album cover, and did songs from this era, like “Strawberry Fields,” “Fool on the Hill,” and “Lady Madonna.” They continued into the Abbey Road era, with “Let it Be,” and ended their concert with a rollicking rendition of “Revolution” and “Back in the USSR.” Steve Montegue plans to bring “Strawberry Fields” back to the Vail Leavitt this fall. But for now, you can catch them starting at noon each Saturday at BB King’s, or visit strawberryfieldsthetribute.com for a memorable trip down Penny Lane.

Triumphs for Tribe New Park Reverses Bad Vibes, Casino Plan Promises Big Bucks By Susan Galardi If things go well for the Shinnecock Indian Nation, they won’t be the only ones with reason to celebrate. Two developments last week, if they come to pass, will provide the East End with a serene park in Water Mill on the site of what was once a sacred burial ground, and a fun-filled, cash-generating, economy-boosting casino, possibly in the Riverhead/Calverton area. The 9.3-acre Water Mill parcel on Montauk Highway is thought to be the site of an ancient Shinnecock burial ground and fishing village. Southampton Town is looking into using $5 million of Community Preservation

Fund money to purchase the site from Konner Construction. The site, where the St. James Hotel once stood, has been believed to be a burial ground since the ’70s. About ten years ago, the Town earmarked it as archaeologically significant. There have been “digs” on the site, and about a year and a half ago, a skull, estimated to be at least 1,000 years old, was unearthed during excavations supervised by archaeologist Joann McLean. The Suffolk County Medical Examiner determined that the skull was of a Native American male, and that there’s a good probability that the rest of him is there (continued on the next page)

PUBLIC & PRIVATE ACTIONS GREEN THE HAMPTONS By April Gonzales In an area that has instituted strong land preservation reforms, wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect more green initiatives from local governments? Suffolk County Legislator Jay Schneiderman thinks so. He believes that the East End, with its robust economy and highly scrutinized zoning regulations, should set the standard for energy conservation, environmental protection, reduction of pesticide use, improved water quality and keeping the carbon footprint small in general. The question of legislation and design standards may arise for new buildings and construction projects,

although there is already one project in the Village of Southampton that strives to meet the vigorous new LEEDS (Leaders in Environmental and Educational Design Standards) specifications adopted by landscape architects and architects alike. Many of the Town and Village leaders have already begun to make changes within their administrations. At a meeting in the Rogers Memorial Library last month, the Mayors of Sag Harbor, East Hampton and Southampton villages and the Town Supervisors of East Hampton and Southampton came together with

Schneiderman to present the Greening of the East End, a forum that outlined what the villages and townships are already doing to achieve a greener East End, and what they’d like to see happen in the near future. Schneiderman threw out a challenge to all with his question “Can we reduce our energy use by 50-80% by the year 2020?” Linda Kabot agreed that this is an important goal. She started her tenure as Town Supervisor by examining how many Townowned vehicles were necessary and began to cut back on the number of vehicles given out. (continued on page 89)

Tribe

as well. Former Southampton College professor Dr. John Strong, an expert in the field, said that chances are that skeleton had company — there are probably more remains to be found. Burial grounds are considered the most sacred places to many Native Americans, so preserving the land is a big coup for the Shinnecocks. Rebecca Genio, president of the tribe’s historic preservation task force, feels that it would help the Town, too. Genio believes that the thoughtless development on the site has led to “bad karma” — that is, suicides, accidents and drownings near the area. She believes Southampton could reverse the bad vibes of the past by doing the right thing in the here and now. Southampton Town Supervisor Linda Kabot is firmly behind the effort to preserve the land. While there are no definite plans on how it would be designed, the general idea is to keep it pretty mellow — a passive park, with a kiosk with information on the history of the site. With a tremendous stock of CPF money and fewer and fewer properties or land left to preserve, this seems like a no-brainer as far as appropriate usage of the Fund. Southampton, in the first two months of this year, socked an additional $6 million into the CPF, which has banked over $500 million in revenue from all five towns in the last eight years. Not only would the purchase make sense as a preservation effort, it would be a show of goodwill toward the Shinnecocks — one of the rare

win/win situations for all concerned. The Shinnecocks haven’t always had an easy go of it in the county. They’ve been in litigation for land ownership and, most important, for the coveted federal recognition as a real tribe. Although New York State has recognized them for 200 years as an authentic tribe, they haven’t gotten the stamp of approval from the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). This is important for many reasons, one of which is the Shinnecock’s ability to get the go-ahead for a casino — only tribes recognized by the BIA can operate casinos on tribal land. The Shinnecocks have filed a lawsuit in federal court to earn that recognition, expected to be approved in 2009. The tribal lands include the Shinnecock Hills reservation south of the Old Montauk Highway — but no one, not even tribe members, wanted a casino there. The tribe also owns property on Newtown Road in Hampton Bays and threatened to build a casino there. Several years ago they broke ground, but, thankfully, it turned out to be an empty gesture. In a turnaround last week, in a meeting with members of Suffolk County Legislature, the Shinnecock Tribe admitted that they never planned to build a casino in Hampton Bays. They’ve been looking for a site farther west. State officials said that they would be willing to operate a casino somewhere outside of the Hamptons, such as Calverton or elsewhere in middle Suffolk. To build a case for the casino, the

Shinnecock Indian Nation Gaming Authority and the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis made a pitch last week to the county leaders. Their reports stated that a Native American gaming establishment (e.g. a casino) on Long Island would bring an influx of new jobs and flood the local economy with new revenue. The research demonstrated that such a project would result in 10,200 new jobs, $445 million in new local employment salaries, and over $2.5 billion in new revenue to local and state governments, not to mention a lot of fun for the millions who would flock to the casino, which the tribe leaders said would include a gaming facility, golf course, hotel rooms, convention space, restaurants and clubs — just like Foxwoods. County legislators seemed open to the proposals. Legislator Louis D’Amaro was glad the tribe reached out with the plan, seeing it as an open door. Legislator Wayne R. Horsley said that, even though a casino has been a controversial topic in the past, the new proposal merits examination. He stated, “As the local economy continues to soften, we thought it would be worth while to examine the economic benefits of a gaming establishment here on Long Island. After all, we currently contribute to the staggering $234 million in estimated out-of-state gaming funds enjoyed by Connecticut State residents. So the question is why not take a hard look at what the benefits would be if we stopped riding the ferry and started spending our money here on Long Island. In our economy.”
