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!

The ‘terroir’ in Morgon comes from a vineyard full of crumbling stone and schist. With its deep garnet hue and its bouquet of ripe cherries, peaches, apricots and plums, it is a wine which is fruit-luscious when young and more ﬁlled with dark cherries and plums after 2 years. (A4716)

39 villages produce wine classiﬁed as Beaujolais Villages. Georges and Franck Duboeuf ’s attractive, cherry-scented wine with its nose of strawberries and blackcurrants shows smoothness and balance. 2009 is a spectacular vintage in the Beaujolais. Serve slightly chilled. (A4720)

Bottle $1049 Case $12588

DUBOEUF BROUILLY 2009

Bottle $1395 Case $16740

The production of a vineyard of entirely sandy/ granite soil, Fleurie seduces with its velvet smoothness, its elegance and its aroma of ﬂowers and fruits: irises, violets, rose petals, peaches, blackcurrants and red berries. (A4722)

DUBOEUF JULIENAS 1ST PRIZE 2009

Bottle $1295 Case $15540

FThe clay soil of Julienas is favorable for the production of rich, powerful and robust wines of ruby red color, a peach and raspberry ﬂavor and a peony aroma. (A4721)

Roughriders, like those who came to Montauk; the Founders Monument in Bridgehampton; Teddy Roosevelt

The Hamptons at War The East End has a Long History of Military Service By Dan Rattiner The monument in the center of downtown Bridgehampton is a memorial to all those who have taken up arms in the defense of this country. The plaques on it note the War of Independence, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. There are no plaques yet for our current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. But there surely will be soon. Just last week, the one thousandth American died in Afghanistan. They, and all the others who died to defend this country, will never be forgotten. Thus we have Memorial Day. Here in the Hamptons, we remember when Americans trained for battle, rested up after battle, toiled to build elaborate defenses and on one occasion, engaged, defeated and drove off an enemy. What follows is a chronology of all these events. As you read them, remember those who fell this Memorial Day. The Revolution After the colonists declared their Independence from the British in 1776, they had

to fight for it. Britain rejected the declaration and would try to hold onto their possessions in America. The struggles lasted for seven years. Early on, a militia was formed here to fight for the new country. It was called the Bridgehampton Militia, and it trained just to the south of where the monument is today, in a field that is today memorialized by a small stone with a plaque on it in the center of the one-acre Memorial Park on the west side of Ocean Road

local settlers or had brought in from England. This material was all to be used by the English Redcoats fighting the colonists, and was under constant armed guard. At the time, some local farmers and merchants were opposed to the revolution and wished to stay loyal to the King, while others were for General Washington and independence. Many of the rebels here at that time fled the Hamptons to cross Long Island Sound to the safety of Connecticut. The British were occupying Long Island. The colonists had control of much of Southern New England. Late one night in 1777, 130 Long Islanders living temporarily in Connecticut came across Long Island Sound in small boats, pulled them ashore at Long Beach in Noyack, and at 3 in the morning staged a commando raid on the garrison at Sag Harbor. With guns blazing, they killed several Redcoats, took 90 others prisoner, set fire to the garrison and supplies there and then rowed back across Long Island Sound without losing a single man. It was named Meig’s Raid, after the man who commanded it. Later in the war, the British set up a blockade of warships to try to keep supplies from arriving here. The French had long had conflicts with the British and so rooted for the Americans during the Revolution, but in addition, they sent a fleet of ships here to break the British blockade. In January of 1781, three French Man-o-Wars appeared in Long Island Sound eager to engage

During the Revolution, the British established a naval base at Sag Harbor.

Dan Rattiner’s second memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS TOO: Further Encounters with Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities, was published in hardcover on May 16. The first memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS, published by Random House, is now available in paperback.

just a 100 yards down from Main Street. This militia, with its flags and muskets, marched off to fight in upstate New York. In Ticonderoga, where a big battle was fought, they were given the task of escorting British prisoners back down to New York City. Later during the Revolutionary War, the British established a Naval Base at Sag Harbor. Many ships either were tied up at Long Wharf or anchored in the bay off of it. Many buildings in town had been seized and were serving as warehouses for much of the clothing, ammunition and foodstuffs that the English either took from the

Westhampton Mystery About a DWI, Missing Gun & 4 Minutes of Missing Tape By Dan Rattiner Right after Labor Day Weekend last year, a 41 year old woman was arrested at one in the morning on Main Street in the Village of Westhampton Beach for driving under the influence of alcohol. It was a common occurrence. The woman refused to take a Breathalyzer test, but she said she was not drunk. When asked, she did say she had come from a party where she had had several glasses of wine. As a result of this, this woman was given a summons, and, as is required when you refuse to take a Breathalyzer test, she had her driver’s license suspended for one year. Inasmuch as the woman arrested at that time

was the sitting Southampton Town Supervisor Linda Kabot, who was also up for re-election in 50 days, the news of the arrest spread like wildfire. It is fair to say that the Village of Westhampton Beach has not been the same since. First of all, matters of this are usually settled one way or another in court in about 30 days. Kabot was given a court date for the week before the election on November 3. She hired an expensive and excellent lawyer who filed for a postponement and a change of venue. To this day, eight months later, there continues to be no resolution to this case. One thing that DID happen, however, was that the charge of refusing to take

the Breathalyzer test was dismissed. This happened about two months ago. And it makes no sense. Either she did refuse or she didn’t. There were two police officers on the scene. There was even a witness. The whole thing was taped by a camera in the police car. The answer to this question has never been adequately explained. In any case, on Election Day, without an adequate resolution of the case, the voters in the adjacent Town of Southampton voted Kabot out of office by a wide margin. Before the incident, polls showed her running neck and neck with her opponent, councilwoman Anna Throne-Holst. (continued on page 42)

While the other public radio station in the area, WLIU, relies heavily on NPR for its news, and its predecessor WPKM rebroadcast WPKN, mostly featuring programming of interest to those in Connecticut, WEER will cater solely to East End interests. Throughout the day the station will feature public announcements for local organizations. “There are so many great community and non-profit groups,” Barri said.

WEER president Barbara Barri promises a commercial format featuring baby boomer music—classic rock, soul and R&B— which, to her, represents a timeless genre of music accessible to all age groups and backgrounds. “It stands generations,” Barri said. “[These bands] are still selling out concerts across the country.

ROAR!

Residents of North Haven Must Stay in their Homes ... By Dan Rattiner First published in Dan’s Papers, February, 2000 A solution to the deer problem in North Haven is in the offing, courtesy of a wealthy South African industrialist who has recently bought a home here. It will be at no charge to the taxpayers. The problem, as everyone knows, is that there are too many deer roaming through the woods of the peninsula, which extends four miles out from downtown Sag Harbor. Deer eat everyone’s shrubbery, get hit by cars, and leap over the fences that everybody builds to keep them off of private property. A survey done from the air not long ago counted the deer population at 700. The entire population on the peninsula is only 800. Local realtors were very pleased last year when Hans Van der Klerk bought the old Kallen estate. It had been on the market for more than a year, but few wanted to put in bids. Since it is six waterfront acres, including a main house, guest cottage and private dock, the asking price

was quite high. Van der Klerk, of Capetown, has parlayed several small silver and bauxite mines in the outback of South Africa into a conglomerate of more than 20 factories around the world, mining everything from boric acid to asphalt to gold to sand and gravel. Recently, in response to protests by environmentalists, he closed an asbestos mine in Tanzania, in spite of the fact it was quite profitable. He is retooling that mine to be able to sep-

arate out cobalt, which is in considerable abundance on the site and which is in great demand by the nuclear power industry. Fortune Magazine has estimated der Klerk’s net worth at a billion two. Der Klerk bought the North Haven property sight unseen. Upon arrival here, he expressed astonishment at the crowds of deer that had broken through the fencing and were feasting on the lawn. He was even more astonished to find that a large number of the people in North Haven, considering the deer irresistably cute, were opposed to the thinning of the herd by the usual manner, which is shooting them dead. Due to their lobbying, hunting is illegal on North Haven. Der Klerk’s solution has been to bring seven male African lions from South Africa to North Haven. He plans to release them into the woods of North Haven next Monday. “They are the natural predators of deer in South Africa,” he told this reporter at a meeting (continued on page 56)

Home Retail East Hampton May Regulate ‘Museum Shops’ in Homes By Dan Rattiner So somebody in East Hampton got this idea about a month ago to allow the local people to have museums in their homes in residential areas. Oddly enough, it initially went over pretty good. They held a meeting about it to see who was for it and who was against it around two weeks ago and only one person spoke out against it. So now the Town Board has moved the process along to the Planning Board, together with proposed legislation. The thing is that practically every household in the Hamptons has at least one nut case who collects a whole lot of one thing. It might be old fishhooks. Or it might be bunny images. Who among

us has not been in a house somewhere where a mom has not filled the joint with bunnies? There will be bunny potholders, bunny salt and pepper shakers, bunny throw pillows, bunny toilet paper covers, paintings of bunnies and bunny paperweights. In other times, particularly in East Hampton, such obsessions might have resulted in the opening of a store downtown that featured, well, everything bunny. They’d call it that. Everything Bunny. Of course downtown today there are lots and lots of stores empty, stores and for rent, particularly in East Hampton, which in other times might be rented out for this purpose to one of

these people. However, at this particular time, this cannot happen. The reason? The landlord wants a million dollars a year. Why? In the past they got a million dollars a year from some high fashion clothing store that is all the rage. The landlords live in hope that a million dollars a year will come again, and so they sit and wait. So what if they miss this year? You don’t want to be stuck renting out to Mrs. Gretch for Everything Bunny at $1,000 a month when the pot of gold might be just around the corner again. So now, we drop down to the next level, which is to sell the stuff out of your home. People are already running businesses out of their homes as (continued on page 44)

HERE THEY COME IN ALL THEIR FANCY CARS By Dan Rattiner Now that it’s coming to an end, it’s time to reveal a dirty little secret about the Hamptons. All during this two-year recession, you could drive into town and just park right in front of whatever store you wanted to shop at. It was an astonishing experience. And a great pleasure. But since all the merchants were suffering, it went unsaid. How could we who shop be so smug and happy when others were unhappy about the same thing? And it was not just the parking that was so easy. There were no traffic jams. I jump up

and down with joy as I report this. You could go out on the Sunrise Highway on a Friday evening and you could simply walk down the white line in the middle of the road if you wanted to because nobody was there. There were no tie-ups on the Montauk Highway. No waiting forever to make a left turn onto it from a side street. No need to take any back roads to avoid the Montauk Highway. I recall during this period, there would be people in New York City who had not been here in a while saying they love this place but abhor the traffic. I’d hold my tongue. Suppress a giggle. Let

them think what they want. Why tell them this is like it was in 1970 when a dog could be asleep in the road. No, no, no. What I would say was that, yes, things were bad in the Hamptons but no worse than anywhere else and we were all getting through it just fine. Then—to myself—except there is no traffic on the highways and no people anywhere and that’s just GREAT. I think it’s fair to say that the situation with the traffic on the roads in the Hamptons is as good a way as any to measure commerce in the Hamptons. And now I (continued on page 66)

Summer Benefits: Fun for a Cause By Sharon Feiereisen The Hamptons may offer endless options for hedonistic indulgences, but the East End is also known for being home to some of the most successful—and glamorous—charity events. Whether you’re an art aficionado looking to bid on iconic works to benefit the Hospice, Group for the East End or whether you’re into tee-ing off with A-list celebs to benefit Tuck’s R.U.S.H. for Literacy, Summer 2010 is packed with so many events that combine leisure and fun, with worthy charitable causes, that there’s no excuse not to partake. Here are a few highlights. What: A Safari Summer; Annual Southampton Hospital Summer Party Where: Westhampton Country Club, 35 Potunk Lane, Westhampton Beach When: May 30, 7 p.m. Extra tidbits: Kicking off the summer season in chic safari style, with cocktails, dinner, dancing, and a silent auction full of lavish luxury items, is the annual Southampton Hospital Benefit. This year’s festivities will be held to raise money for the hospital’s Westhampton Primary Care Center. Join co-chairs Christiane Hiegel, Farida Khan, and Cynthia Rutherford for what is sure to be a memorable

Memorial Weekend evening. What: Angel Wings Foundation Dinner Where: Georgica Restaurant & Lounge, 108 Wainscott Stone Road, Wainscott When: May 30, 8-11 p.m. Extra tidbits: Given that Angel Wings’ benefit committee includes Charlotte Ronson, Arden Wohl, Eugene Remm, Mark Birnbaum, and Scott Sartiano, it’s only fitting that the swank cocktail, dinner, and auction event would be held at one of the East End’s newest hot spots. The first annual event will be hosted by Angel Wings’ founder, Jessica White, to help raise money for the organization’s mission to empower and rescue women who have suffered from sexual and domestic abuse, providing them with shelter, counseling, and support.

5 Ways to Tell Ahead of Time If You’re Selecting the Right Landscaper. 1. Will they complete the job within budget? Marders gives you a firm cost, not a +/-10% or so guesstimate.

2. Will they complete the job on time? Our crews are on our payroll and are trained by us. They remain on your site until the job is finished.

3. Do they provide a written guarantee? Marders gives you a 2-year written guarantee which we’ve stood behind for some 30 years.

4. Will they get all necessary permits, apply for variances, appear before Town or Village Zoning Boards, etc.? Do they know local regulations?

5. Will you have to settle for cookie-cutter designs? Most landscapers have a limited variety of trees to sell you. The result is cookie-cutter landscaping. About half of our multi-million dollar inventory is big and/or unusual trees.

Westhampton

(continued from page 35)

Afterwards was a different story. Obviously, in spite of her now public denials, the drunk driving charge made the difference. Also there was bad blood between these two. There was the matter of a dog. For two years prior to the election, Throne-Holst had been bringing her little dog to work. For the most part it stayed in her beach bag. She loved the dog. She did this even though there was a sign on the front door to Town Hall which forbids dogs. After Throne-Holst put feelers out to see if it would make sense to run in the election against Kabot, Supervisor Kabot took the occasion of a public Town Board Meeting to remind Throne-Holst of the sign on the door and that one resident in town is no better than another resident. ThroneHolst made arrangements to leave her dog at

home after that. But it had not gone well. I know this is a small, petty thing. But Southampton Town can be petty about things. And, as it is turning out, so can Westhampton Beach. Did the Westhampton Beach Police Department have it in for the supervisor of the neighboring community on that night she was arrested? The Mayor of the Town, Conrad Teller, was for nearly 20 years the police chief of the Town of Southampton. He retired, but was then hired as the police chief of Westhampton Beach where he served another 10 years, until he resigned in 1999. For the last five he has won election for mayor of that town. The Mayor denies any involvement in the arrest. And of course, with his long history of

service to the community, it seems quite unlikely he would have ordered such a thing done. It is also unlikely because the police department of Westhampton Beach (or any other community) does not respond to orders given by a Mayor. Police departments in all villages and towns can be almost completely autonomous, if the sitting police chief wants them to be. There is the Blue Wall which we all know. And then there are disciplinary boards within the police department. A police chief cannot simply be removed by a mayor. If a mayor finds a police chief incompetent or corruptible, he has to appeal to a State authority to get hearings held to see if he could be removed. Indeed, about four months after the arrest, the relationship between the Mayor of Westhampton Beach and his police chief became a public scandal. The Mayor, with the approval of his Village Council, demanded that the Police Chief turn over documents relating to the arrest of Kabot, and other documents relating to another matter involving an officer’s handgun, which two other officers in the department were believed to have hidden for a time. And the Police Chief refused. Turned out that the Mayor had no authority to demand police records be turned over. As a result, the village attorney of Westhampton Beach, who had assured the Board that they did have this right, resigned. But let us return to the night of the arrest for a moment. It took place at approximately one in the morning right in the center of the Village. And there were people about. One of them, and keep in mind that a tape was rolling, saw what was going on and began to meddle in the arrest. This person, so far unidentified, came over and began shouting at the police that they were harassing the town supervisor, that it was a set up. The police detained this man on the street. The next day—remember this was a month and a half before the election—there were items in the papers claiming that Throne-Holst had orchestrated this arrest to win the election. It was said she was informed by telephone of the arrest early in the morning by someone who said “We got her.” Throne-Holst has said this is an outright lie. She agreed that she was told about it that following morning. The whole town was told about it that following morning. Then it turned out there was a four-minute gap in the video tape that was in the police car. People who have seen this tape, even with the gap, say either that it shows her sober as a judge or drunk as a skunk. It will all be coming out at trial. What trial? The tape, with the four-minute gap, was among the items demanded by Mayor Teller when he confronted the police department four months later. As for the handgun, it had turned up after a time. But the police chief, Ray Dean, had instigated disciplinary action against the two officers who had “borrowed” it. Mayor Teller also wanted to see the paperwork involving that. The most recent news is that the two officers who were on the scene at the arrest have filed a lawsuit against the Mayor, his Board, the Police Chief and the former Village Attorney. They claim they are being harassed. Their reputations are being ruined. And guess who is representing (continued on page 116)

There are a number of people in the barber shop business very quietly in their homes. There are realtors who have an office in their homes. And there are psychiatrists who hold therapy sessions with patients in their dens. There’s a guy up the street who repairs lamps in his home. He has a shingle out. Been there for years. It says LAMP HOSPITAL. Well, it’s just a short um, hop, from a low-volume store in your home to a museum in your home. And so the matter has reached the planning board. Here’s what planning board members said to one another last week when they had their first meeting about this and when the board realized the Town Board to whom they make recommendations, might really be serious. For purposes of discussion here I will use as an example a museum in somebody’s home that has in it ex-husbands. There really isn’t a proposal to allow an ex-husband museum, but I think it would spice things up since, in the end, this has to be about something. Otherwise you can just read about this in one of the local newspapers where they present this sort of exchange of opinions in a kind of straightforward manner. So here was the meeting. The Director of the Planning Department, Marguerite Wolffson, said that as a matter of fact, museums are already a permitted use in residential areas. What they could regulate however was the parking requirements, the size of the museum “store” and what could be sold in that store. She said that the application for museum status by the Longhouse Reserve on Hands Creek Road highlighted the need for rules and regulations about these things. She also said that the proposed law they were to look at as prepared by the Town Attorney, would allow museum stores in museums of up a maximum of either 1/4 of the size of the whole museum or 500 square feet, whichever is less. “Five hundred square feet is huge,” said Board Member Sylvia Overby. She pointed out that the retail stores in Amagansett Square are just 550 square feet and that’s an entire store. That’s a lot of ex-husbands. Who has that many ex-husbands? “Pool houses can be no larger than 200 square feet,” said Eileen Catalano, another board member. And pool houses cannot have kitchens. Where do you put the beer? Board Member Peter Van Scoyoc noted that the proposed legislation would only allow that replicas of museum items be sold in the museum store. It would prohibit the selling of items from the collection themselves. So no ex-husbands themselves could be sold. Just replicas of them. Too bad. “On the other hand,” Van Scoyoc said, “there is no prohibition to sell other things in the store.” Ex-wives come to mind. Consider this. Where there’s an ex-husband there’s an ex-wife. Has to be. “There’s no way to monitor this,” said (continued on page 56)

The runners at the start; the winner, Richard Temerian, on the right

Potatohampton Wonderful Sunday Morning on Streets of Bridgehampton By Dan Rattiner The 32nd annual running of the Dan’s Papers Potatohampton Minithon was held last Sunday morning at 9 a.m. The start and finish were on Ocean Road in Bridgehampton, right in the center of town, in front of Militia Park, which is 100 yards south of the monument. The 5k route was pretty straightforward, unlike races in the past where there were so many twists and turns that one year the lead car went off course and led the runners—about 400 of them that year—down the wrong road for half a mile before realizing the mistake. This year the route was down Ocean Road, right onto Paul’s Lane, Right again onto Halsey Lane, right again

onto Hildreth Lane and then left onto Ocean Road and back again to the finish where it began. No extra kilometer this year. The race is a lot of fun and raises money for charity, this year the Southampton Animal Shelter. At this time, the Shelter is going through a transition and is in great need of more funding. A great many leashed dogs were in attendance at the race. There were also about 300 people, 200 to run and 100 to watch. The winner of the 5K race this year was Richard Temerian of Manhattan and Southampton. He stayed at the front of the pack for the whole race, slowly pulling away, first accompanied by 22 year-old Geary Gubbins and

then about halfway through, he was by himself. He won, ahead of anyone else by at least 100 yards. At age 51 he was the oldest winner we have ever had. On the other hand, as he said at the end of the race, he has been running the Potatohampton since 1991 and has never won, even as a younger man. This made his victory all the more sweet. Temerian is a metal worker who works for architectural firms from his studio in Brooklyn. His work graces many buildings. He remembered that the year he ran his first Potatohampton, the starter was Mr. G, the weatherman. He also wondered where my (continued on next page)

NEW RULE TO DEAL WITH HELICOPTER NOISE By Dan Rattiner For the last 10 years, local residents have complained loudly about low-flying helicopters rattling their dishes as they make their way over Long Island from Manhattan to the two airports in the Hamptons. Five years ago, the helicopter companies were urged to solve this problem by voluntarily flying over the water of Long Island Sound, rather than straight out over the land. Some complied, but apparently not enough to satisfy the citizenry. Three years ago, the Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi famously commented that “if it would save five

minutes to fly in your front door and out your back door, they would do that.” The problems continued. Last Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which monitors all air traffic, issued a new order which would require that helicopters flying this route travel over Long Island Sound and then out past Port Jefferson, to turn in to fly over sparsely populated land when coming in to the Hamptons. Also, along the way, they must maintain an altitude of at least 2,500 feet. The FAA issued this order at the urging of Congressman Charles Schumer who finally said something would

have to be done about this. The order will sit on a table for 30 days before going into effect. During those 30 days, the FAA will take public comment. After that, if they do not change their minds, the order will be come an enforceable law. The proposed route for helicopters increases the time in the air by only about 10%. I figured this out by putting a string along the proposed route between the East River helicopter pad and the East Hampton Airport, and then comparing that to a straightaway route only across the land, both of which were on maps provided (continued on page 50)

ancient, bright red 1959 Triumph Sports car was this year, since I have often led the race driving it, including nine of the last ten. I told him it was in fine running order but because it’s an open car and it looked like it might rain, I had left it home. Instead, I drove with Bob Edelman, Dan’s Papers publisher, in our little Dan’s Papers Smart Car with the paddle shift transmission. I also told Temerian that my old sports car had begun smoking a bit out the back. “It’s always smoked,” he said. “It’s smoke for everyone in the lead pack. Part of the race.” I will have it back next year. People thanked us profusely at the end of the race, in spite of some little glitches in the running of it. Ellen Dioguardi, who organized the

running of this race, told me her husband hit a deer on his way to the event. The pull handle on the gas generator providing power broke off when pulled. The people who were supposed to bring the tent didn’t show. And the timing of the race had its problems. (It’s the same timer we’ve had in past years. He’s never had a problem before.) None of the timing problems were major and all were fixed reasonably quickly. Apparently, although the official stopwatch started when the gun went off, somebody forgot to start the digital timer and it didn’t get underway until the race was a minute old. So the first finishers came in with record breaking times, only to find out that they did not. It got re-set after the leaders came in. After that it was fine. Some people forgot to put their ages down on the form when getting their application in. As a result, the computer defaulted an age and three of the 200 runners ran at age 99, one of them finishing eighth overall, an amazing achievement when you think about it. Also, several of the runners either didn’t check the sex category or checked the wrong one and so went off listed in the wrong category. One runner who got put in the wrong sex category was Barbara Gubbins who has won the women’s division eight times in 32 years. She won again this year, although for a time it appeared that she had finished second in the Men’s 50-59 division. (The winner of that division, John Nelson from the Warren Street Running Club in Manhattan, won 50-59, and also was the third place finisher overall—both legitimately.) At another point after the race was over, there were volunteers running around trying to find a person named Chris to find out what sex that person might be so they could give him/her the proper assignment. It made me think about the fact that whatever sex we are we’re just stuck with all our lives, for better or worse. (Oh, I take that back.) Thinking about things profoundly like this every once in a while is good for the soul, in my opinion. The second finisher overall was Geary Gubbins, age 22, of Southampton, the son of Barbara Gubbins. And the first finisher overall in the female division was thought for quite some time to be Alexandra Jennings, age 29. But when Barbara Gubbins was put in the right place, Jennings had to settle for second, although that was not until after she had gone home with the first prize certificate so she really may not know that. I know this all sounds terrible, but I have to say that stuff like this almost always happens when a race is run in a small town—not necessarily these glitches but maybe other glitches— no matter who runs the race, but then there are all the things that are done right. The folding tables and chairs were in place on time. The banner was up. The bullhorn worked. The arrows had been put onto the telephone poles the night before—and then had to be put up again in the morning because it seemed somebody had taken them down during the night.

Neighbor: By Susan M. Galardi How do you do Madonna in 1,000 words or less? The 51-year-old singer/songwriter/dancer/actress/goddess/producer/second top-selling female artist in the U.S./style setter/chameleon/millionairess/twotime divorcee (Sean Penn, Guy Ritchie)/natural mother/adoptive mother of two Malawi children/icon/kabbalah enthusiast/gay rights supporter/macrobiotic dieter/Marilyn Monroe fanatic/Evita star/entrepreneur/200-billion-record seller/straight-A high school student has so many links in her chain of accomplishments and awards that merely listing them would blow the word limit. This paragraph alone has already made a big dent. But Madonna, after many years of flirting with the Hamptons, is here. Or at least her horses are. So she now qualifies to be featured in a Dan’s Papers Neighbor. Granted, she’s not the kind of neighbor you can casually drop by to borrow some eggs or ask to intercept a delivery or watch your house while you’re in the city. First of all, she has two residences out here—one in East Hampton that she rents and lives in, and one in Bridgehampton where she keeps her horses. On the horse farm recently, Madonna has been securing the property by putting up thousands of hedges and installing a new electric gate. Slim chance of getting through that—better bet to get those eggs from Citarella. As far as the Material Girl’s accessibility at the home she’s renting, just ask Mort Zuckerman, Martha Stewart, and Jerry della Femina—they actually ARE her neighbors on Lily Pond Lane. In February of this year Madonna rented “Coxwould,” a six-bedroom English stucco “cottage” on two acres with manicured gardens, wisteria-clad arbors, a pool, a guesthouse and private ocean access. Owned by real estate developer Lowell Shulman, Coxwould has been listed at $425,000 for the season. Like many potential homebuyers in the Hamptons, Madonna put herself in a cozy rental, perhaps to look for the perfect spot for the ponies. Rumors first started swirling last winter that she was planning to buy a horse farm in the Hamptons, perhaps inspired by her visit to celebrity photographer Steven Klein’s spread in Bridgehampton. At that time, April 2009, Madonna and her beau, model/DJ Jesus Luz, were at Klein’s West Kill Farm, where she

Amagansett for a few days of R&R. Undaunted by the accident, Madonna moved ahead with buying a farm for her own horses. An article in the Daily Mail, a website from the UK, reported that Madonna first considered the Wolffer Estate in Sagaponack, where she was “staying,” in May, 2009. Madonna was reportedly ready to make an offer on the 12,000-square-foot, Tuscan-style villa and its 100 acres as a place to board her horses. Other media outlets said there was never an offer to buy, just a request to board her horses at Wolffer’s stables. Rumors had it that Madonna gave the owners of Wolffer a 10-page list of demands, one of which was that “no one could be in the riding ring at the same time she was.” The New York Post said the owners turned her down. Other reports, including the singer’s spokespeople, said the whole thing never happened at all. In any case, that spring, Madonna placed some of her herd at Klein’s residence. The pop star finally found the right spot—the 26-acre Wild Ocean Farm at 450 Mitchell Lane, a parcel in Bridgehampton that has its own celebrity pedigree. Madonna bought the property from fashion designer Kelly Klein, Calvin Klein’s ex-wife. Klein had purchased it from actress Stefanie Powers, of “Hart to Hart,” fame. Powers was also an equestrian of sorts, and kept horses there. But before the celebrity horsewomen trifecta of Powers, Klein and Ciccone took title to the land, the acreage was a working farm owned by an immigrant polish family, the Graboskis, who bought it 1928. In the mid 1950s, Benny Graboski (whose wife is Southampton Town Councilwoman Nancy Graboski), became the heir to the land and continued to grow potatoes. But Madonna didn’t buy it for peanuts—the purchase price paid to Kelly Klein was just under $10 million. The farm includes barns, paddocks, indoor and outdoor rings that Klein used as a show-horse training center, and accommodations for a groom. The parcel is zone-restricted to agricultural use (which includes growing horses), but no residence can be built there. While Madonna was in the process of purchasing Wild Ocean Farm, she was exploring a neighboring property at 1151 Millstone Road—an additional 24 acres at $2.4 million. This property too is restricted in usage—development rights are owned by Suffolk County and Southampton Town. Madonna bought the

(Klein had photographed Madonna for an equestrian-themed photo spread in 2006.) As she was jumping fences on a horse in the late afternoon of April 18, a paparazzi (freelance photographer Thomas Hinton) reportedly jumped out from behind a bush and began flashing away. The horse got spooked, Madonna got thrown, and the staff of Southampton Hospital got an up close and personal look at Madge, who underwent tests and observation (to say the least) and, fortunately suffered only minor injuries. Madonna, not ready to get back on that horse, didn’t return to Klein’s farm, but instead headed to her pal Gwyneth Paltrow’s home in

“There are hundreds of environmental groups, dozens of animal rights groups, senior groups. The list goes on and on. Then there are places like Bay Street Theatre and Guild Hall. They all do wonderful work. We have the airwave. We can tell everyone what they’re doing.” The nighttime and weekend formats will feature talk radio geared towards local interests and groups. Barri hopes to feature diverse shows such as late night fringe programming featuring more alternative music and hopefully local musicians; a show on health care issues broadcast entirely in Spanish, and even things as “community” as a call-in program for seniors

seeking computer help. From local politics to local high schools, “the possibilities with 24 hours are endless,” Barri said.

WEER also hopes to give back to the community in other ways as it grows by becoming an employer on the East End. Barri hopes the station will be run by a blend of volunteers and employees. “We just need to raise the money,” she said. “The more money we raise, the more local people we can hire.” But Barri stresses that giving back to the community in as many different ways possible is the most primary goal of the fledgling non-profit station. “And another way we can help the community is to become a valued employer.” WEER is currently being run by a small group which includes Barri, a broadcasting veteran who worked for many years in Los Angeles, and Matt Stutterheim, chairman of the board of directors who also has worked in the industry for more than five decades. The two friends first began talking about the possibility of a community radio station in 2003. Though it seemed like a pipe dream then, in 2006 the FCC opened up a window of time for local groups to file applications for a community radio station. In October 2008, WEER was granted its first construction permit. “But it couldn’t have been worse timing,” Barri said. “It was ground zero for the economy tanking.” The only thing they could do was wait it out. Operating on a shoestring budget with money donated from a local benefactor in a temporary summer space in Southold, also donated to the station, WEER is actively seeking more donations and grant money, as well as a permanent home for the station. In a community as tuned into the arts as the East End, Barri hopes it will be easy to find financial support for WEER. Fundraisers should be a no-brainer she said. “We have some of the most wonderful venues out here and some of the most famous musical artists.” This leads to many possibilities for fundraising concerts and other events. “The money is out here to support this idea,” she added. As for a future permanent location, she’d love to team up with another local non-profit to share space. Another long-term goal of WEER is to one day purchase a transmitter farther west, perhaps around Southampton. Taking over the Montauk transmitter, Barri said that as you head west you can actually get a clean reception on 88.7 until Bridgehampton, but it gets spotty when you hit Southampton. “We know we eventually need two signals to cover the East End to make this really work for us,” she said. Now, this Memorial Day weekend—though Barri can’t promise exactly which day—WEER will finally get on the air. “We’re just going to jump in the water,” she said. “And I hope it’s at least a little tepid.” She’s proud that WEER will finally be able to serve the community, adding, “We’re in such a unique situation here. Most places have local radio and television. We don’t have that. We’re in the ‘majorest’ of major markets. And Suffolk County is just a footnote to them.” For more information about WEER and to find out how you can get involved go to hamptonscommunityradio.com.

families. This Memorial Day, as the flag is flown on every Main Street in the Hamptons, on homes, and in front of white crosses in graveyards, think of the Marine Memorial not too far from Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. It’s a group of boys becoming men as they raise the flag on an island where thousands around them were dead or dying, to save our way of life. On Memorial Day weekend let’s not forget to honor “the Morals for which they Fought.”

By T.J. Clemente I went to a high school that was built upon a field where the fathers of my town engaged the British after they came in from the Long Island Sound off Hunter’s Island during the Revolution. The settlers’ goal was to stall them, thus giving Washington time to escape to what is now Fort Lee, New Jersey. The school is named Pelham Memorial High School, and above the old auditorium over the stage is the inscription, “Honor Here the Morals for Which They Fought.” Memorial Day was officially proclaimed across this nation in May 1868 by General Order No. 11 by the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, General John Logan. It was first observed nationally on May 30, 1868. President Andrew Johnson was still President following the assassination of Lincoln three years before. Ulysses Grant was positioning himself to become the next President, and the country was just adjusting to the shock of so many deaths during the Civil War. War Memorials were being completed in almost every town in the nation— both in the victorious north and the defeated south—with the names of those who perished during the war immortalized on tall granite monuments. On May 30, 1868, Judge Henry Hedges made an address in Sag Harbor, announcing the names of local families and lost soldiers going back to the American Revolution. He was part of a tradition, the first Memorial Day which is long forgotten and now is a weekend that too many Americans see as simply, “the beginning of the summer.” I’ve stood in East Hampton on Memorial Day to watch the men of many generations don their uniforms to march to the East Hampton Village Memorial Day site by the windmill, across from the Old North graveyard. I watched the dwindling number of WWII veterans, one or two still fitting into their vintage uniforms, marching like they did at graduation from basic training, along with the younger soldiers who served in Iraq, Vietnam, and Korea. A while back, the week before he left office in July 2009, former Mayor of Sag Harbor Greg Ferraris in a moving narrative (to only me) in the Municipal Building told of watching the video of how U.S. Marine Cpl. Jordan Haerter, then a recent graduate of Pierson High School, died defending the United States of America and its way of life. The son of Joann Lyles and Christian Haerter, who never celebrated his 21st birthday, died stopping a truck loaded with explosives trying to get to barracks to inflict a maximum kill situation. Haerter sacrificed his life and future by standing his ground and thwarting the attack. It is a scene we see in movies of the brave in war. This American is now memorialized with a bridge, where so many others now forgotten received little white crosses in cemeteries in places called Anzio and Normandy. These men, and now women too, gave that up in service to the nation. The bands, the gun salutes, the ceremonies comforted their

by the FAA. As far as the height change was concerned, pilots have told me the 2,500 figure is not unreasonable. Most helicopters ride along at or near that. Current flight time for a helicopter trip to the Hamptons from Manhattan is about 45 minutes. A 10% increase would result in it taking 50 minutes. The new route has the helicopters flying roughly a mile and a half off the northern coast of Long Island and staying out there until the pine barrens just to the west of Riverhead. The helicopters then would come ashore over Wading River or Mount Sinai, very small villages just on shore, and then, if headed down to Gabreski Airport in

PotatoHampton

Westhampton, head due southwest over the pine barrens to that airport, or, if headed to East Hampton Airport, continue on over the pine barrens and farmland just to the north of Riverhead town, then out into Peconic Bay finally coming inland over sparsely populated Noyac and then to that airport. Initial reaction to the new law came from Robert Grotell, the President of the Eastern Region Helicopter Council who said that for safety reasons, he objected to helicopters having to go over water. Comments from other sources can be directed to the FAA until June 22, at which time the public comment period will end and the FAA will render its decision.

gram. There were people manning the water stops along the way. And it was a magnificent day for running, 55 degrees and a cooling breeze with something just shy of a drizzle. Finally, consider the big crowd before the race. It was a reunion of sorts, since so many people have participated in this particular run over the years. Friendships were renewed. People talked about what they had done since the last race. The crowd milled around like they were at a cocktail party as the race began to form at the starting line. A great cheer went up when all the participants took off. The Southampton Town Police monitored traffic along the 5K and were patient and friendly,

smiling and waving at everybody. The ambulance on hand provided by the Bridgehampton Fire Department never had to be used for anything. Two dogs got into some sort of altercation by the finish line at one point and the animals had to be separated with tugs on the leashes. Hampton Coffee was on hand with a food wagon. Sponsors Engel & Volkers, the real estate firm in Southampton, had a booth at the race. So did sponsor Mark Tuthill himself from Mark Tuthill’s Martial Arts Center in East Hampton. The signs reading DRIVE CAREFULLY RACE IN PROGRESS at all the turns along the route were sponsored by Prudential Real Estate. Everybody had such a good time.

Whoever said the Hamptons is full of glitz and glamour is right, but it is also filled with small town stuff too, which, sometimes, is just as much fun. Thanks to all the volunteers, to Bob Edelman, to Tom Swiminer, to Stacy Dermont, to Ellen Dioguardi and her husband, David J. Gribin, and to Lori Berger, Kelly Shelly, Karen Fitzpatrick, Evelynne Anderson, Lianne Alcon, Susan Galardi, Patti Kraft and her son Michael, and Roe Spindel. Sunshine broke out after the race ended and people stood around enjoying this early Sunday morning for the longest time. See you next year.

A Season of Change in Local Politics

TJ Clemente

By T.J. Clemente As you were packing up the car to head west last Labor Day Weekend, the political scene had both Supervisor positions in East Hampton and Southampton up for grabs. Both towns were grappling with budgets spinning out of control due to the largest economic downturn since the great depression—a downturn that lanced the local real estate industry so savagely that morale was somewhere between bad and really bad. But much has happenened over the last eight months out here in the Hamptons, and much for the better. Following is a Cliff ’s Notes of politics on the East End, high spots and the low points, to bring everyone up to speed. First, a moment of full disclosure. This summary is peppered with my own opinions. But unlike others, I’m not under orders by my publisher on what I can and cannot write, and neither party advertises regularly in our paper as they do in others, so my views are quite truly independent. First of all, former Town of East Hampton supervisor Bill McGintee resigned and was never charged or prosecuted for a list of bogus crimes a few hate mongers of other

Bishop, Thiele, Throne-Holst

media outlets consistently invented to increase circulation. In fact, in retrospect, some of the facts in those articles were fabricated to fuel the panic of a town that was mismanaged—without blatant crimes. But with this smearing campaign in full tilt, McGintee was never given a fair chance to explain his admitted mistakes, but instead was painted as arrogant, criminal and evil mostly by candidates he defeated in prior elections, like Len Bernard, the present aide to EH Supervisor William Wilkinson who still, even while on the town payroll, is pitching for McGintee to be prosecuted. (At one

point, in his office, Bernard told me that this was his duty—but I digress.) Bernard and I were classmates—maybe even taking the same political science courses at George Washington University. I hope he grows into his job and becomes a force of positive solutions. After McGintee resigned the Democrats were unable to mount any sort of credible campaign and several of the two previously defeated Republican candidates for Town Supervisor joined forces to “win back” (a term they used at rallies) the town government. Their opponent was Ben Zwirn, a county official, who ran a noble campaign but was defeated thoroughly by the Wilkinson-Bernard forces. Also swept into office were two new Republican board members, Dominick Stanzione and Theresa Quigley. I have talked to Stanzione in person and Quigley over the phone, and they seem sincere in their quest to turn town policies around in order to put the town’s finances back in order. The most pleasant surprise to me has been the iron will of Bill Wilkinson to change the culture of the government of the Town of East Hampton. Wilkinson is offering early retirement and combining departments to (continued on page 58)

A Day at the Beach – By the Rules

Susan Galardi

By T.J. Clemente There are just so many beaches in the Hamptons, and therefore, there are restrictions and rules concerning permits, dog usage and non-resident daily use of those beaches. Calls were made to the village and town offices of Sag Harbor, Montauk, East Hampton and Southampton in order to get the official 2010 beach fees and permit information, both seasonal and daily, for residents and nonresidents. In East Hampton Village, beach parking permits are $300 for nonresidents and free for Village residents. Permits for non-residents are limited (2,900) and were available on a first-come, firstserved basis but are already sold out for 2010; there is no cap to the number of resident permits. Main Beach and Two Mile Hollow are the only village beaches that offer “Pay by Day” parking. Rates for 2010 are $20 per vehicle, on weekdays only. All other village beaches require a parking permit that extends from May 15 to September 15. Once again, due to popular demand and a turnover at the East Hampton Supervisor’s office there will be no 2010 resident beach fees for East Hampton town residents for town beaches. An East Hampton Town official said that if you have last year’s sticker and the

license plate number on the sticker is the same as the one on the car, the 2009 sticker is valid for 2010. Non-resident beach fees are now set at $375, up from the 2009 fee of $325. It was noted that at Atlantic Beach in Amagansett, daily parking is available at a charge of $15 per day on weekdays, though never on weekends or holidays. In Montauk there are two non-season permit options. The first is Kirk’s Beach, with a $10per-day, seven-days-a-week option. Of course, Hither Hills State Park is the second, with a

charge of $6 which is good for the beach, Lighthouse parking lot and Camp Hero all day, interchangeable. Laraine Creegan, Executive Director of Montauk’s Chamber of Commerce, noted that this year Nick’s Beach has been officially renamed Edison Beach. Why? Because it is on Edison Road. It may be noted that it is at this beach that many leave their cars on the side of the roads with no daily permits, where parking is free but limited. The facilities issue has been ironed out for the 2010 season with the county health officials; it will be portable units again for 2010. At Sag Harbor Haven’s Beach, non-resident permits go on sale Memorial Day Weekend and are $100,with no cap on how many can be sold. There is also daily parking at Haven’s for $10 per day. There is a daily option at the Southampton Town Beach known as Long Beach, in Sag Harbor, which costs $20. Note that only Sag Harbor Village residents get Sag Harbor Village Beach Permits for free. Sag Harbor Village permits are accepted at Southampton Town beaches in Sag Harbor, however at Barcelona Beach in Sag Harbor, an East Hampton Town pass is required. Southampton Town has not raised its beach (continued on page 90)

farm, putting her Hamptons land ownings at 50 acres for a total cost of $12.4 million—a pittance if you believe reports that she has a net worth of $600 million. But Madonna didn’t just helicopter in under the cloak of darkness to end up in the Hamptons. Well, actually she DID, but it wasn’t the first time. Prior to the farm purchases, Madonna was a real estate virgin in the Hamptons. Prior to becoming an actual property owner on the East End, for decades she was a member of the castes of “Guester” as well as “Renter.” In 1998, Madonna rented the infamous Goose Creek estate in Georgica for her 40th birthday celebration. The 25,000 square foot mansion (with eight bedrooms, indoor wave

pool, Turkish bath, 122-seat theatre and private inlet leading to Georgica Pond) is a wellknown celebrity rental. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck paid $75,000 for one week at the elegant estate, and Gena Davis was married there. In 2008, Madonna and A-Rod were secretly jetted in to East Hampton airport on two private helicopters and whisked away to Jerry Seinfeld’s 12-acre East Hampton estate on Further Lane. Perhaps that rendezvous was to celebrate the big five-0—or her pending divorce from Guy Ritchie in the midst of her Sticky and Sweet Tour. It was that divorce from Ritchie, in January 2009, after eight years of marriage, that prompted the Material Girl’s move back to the states from the couple’s countryside home in England. Madonna went on a real estate buying spree in the New York area. Early in ‘09, now single, she made her move back to the place whence she started her mercurial career—Manhattan. Madonna bought a 26room mansion on East 81 Street. It was actually TWO homes: a pair of four-story town houses that she’s in the process of turning into a two-entry Georgian mansion. At $40 million, it was one of the biggest deals on the Upper East Side. As of March, renovation still seemed to be in full swing. Scaffolding and tarps still covered the façade of the buildings, which have a total of 13 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, a two-car garage, 3,000 square foot garden, nine fireplaces, wine cellar with a grotto, and an elevator. So Madonna is there. And Madonna is here. Our neighbor. Right up the road from Dan’s Papers. For those who need to know more biographical details about the singer, I’m sorry. I’m maxed out on space for this article. Go to Madonna.com or Wikipedia. Or go over to Mitchell Lane or Lily Pond and try to sneak a peak for yourself. Please don’t jump out of the bushes. We like to protect our local celebrities. 1319434

“LEFT OF PARADISE” This Memorial Day Weekend in the Hamptons just say NO! Make a vow (even for just a few hours) to just say no and unplug your television set.

Just say no to digital technology and explore other ways to connect with your family, friends and more importantly, yourself! That said, a perfect opportunity to enjoy a digital-free family event is this Saturday, May 29thfrom Noon to 4p.m. at the Ross School Tennis Center in East Hampton. The event will honor Tennis Coaching Legend Nick Bollettieri whose trained all the greats Andre including Shandell, Mazza Agassi, Boris Becker, rier, Martina Hingis, Monica Jim Cour Seles, and Venus and Serena Williams.

Ya never know, for a hefty donation, the Countess could entertain guests with an impromptu performance of her debut single, the dance song “Money Can’t Buy You Class.” Plus, Grammy legend Thelma Houston is scheduled to perform. How does the band Lez Zeppelin kick off the 2010 summer season? With a live performance at The Stephen Talk House in Amagansett this Saturday at 8 p.m.! Don’t let the name fool you. This all- girl, all Led Zeppelin tribute band means serious business. Just feast your eyes and ears on the classically trained band Leader and guitarist, Steph Paynes. I guarantee at some point in the performance, you will blink, rub your eyes and for a moment, see Jim mmy Page. Paynes told me, “The Talkhouse likes to host Lez Zeppelin at least twice a summer. We usually launch the season on Memorial Day and it’s always a fave as people are just so ready to let the festivities begin! The show has become synonymous with wild, screaming crowds in a roadhouse somewhere left of paradise. ‘Can’t really imagine being anywhere else.” The truth is, for the band, the festivities don’t begin till the show is over. Paynes admits, “Before the show is when the down and dirty work of being

at his house on Friday. “I have done the math. Based on the rate that these carnivores eat meat, the deer herd should be solved in three weeks.” Der Klerk also had his attorney do some research. There is an ordinance in North Haven prohibiting the harboring of “wild animals,” in the list of such animals, there is mention of coyotes and American Mountain Lions, but not the South African Lion. “It may have been an oversight,” de Klerk grinned. “But I have a problem here and I am someone who solves problems.” The lions, each 800 to 1,000 pounds, were caught in the Bagaloo Section of South Africa using blow guns with darts that had been dipped

in a sleeping potion. The lions were caged while asleep, flown to Kennedy Airport, and then taken by boat to der Klerk’s private dock on Wednesday. Currently they are being housed in the der Klerk garage, built by the late Mr. Kallen for his 17 antique cars. “Why have you only brought male lions?” this reporter asked. “We wanted them to only have one thing on their minds.’’ “What happens after three weeks?’’ “The lions will be caught, they should be well fed and lazy by that time, and returned to South Africa.” Der Klerk, is delaying the releasing of the lions until Monday so he can get the word out—Dan’s

is not the only newspaper he has contacted—and because the school children will be on vacation. “The lions, like the deer, are nocturnal animals,” Der Klerk told me, “and at 7 a.m. when the school busses pick the children up by the side of the road, it is still dark. Der Klerk also pointed out that because the bridge to Sag Harbor is being replaced, there is no way to get off North Haven and residents in the rest of the Hamptons should not worry. “You can get off North Haven by taking Long Beach Road to Noyack,” I told Der Klerk. He seemed surprised. “Noyack? Where’s that?” he said. This reporter spoke to Emmett Greengrocer, the President of the East End Environmental Group (EEEG), who has often spoken out against desecrating the land and the wanton shooting of the wildlife by the local hunters. “It sounds like this has been thought through,” Greengrocer said. “Prey and predator. Survival of the fittest. Lions are beautiful creatures. This is the stuff we have been talking about for a long, long time. Somebody has finally heard us.’’ A spokesman for the Village spoke on condition of anonymity and said that village officials were beside themselves at these recent developments. “The law has been checked. South African lions are not mentioned. They are not mentioned in the list of animals specifically prohibited from running wild either. We have attornies working on this 24 hours a day.” In any case, residents of North Haven are urged to stay indoors from February 4 to February 25 while the lions are loose.

Catalano. She also said that she would be against museums using their store space for weddings and concerts. “That could be detrimental to the neighborhood.” What ex-husband wants to get married again? Well, I suppose that’s a bad question. Catalano said to imagine, for example in the case of the LongHouse Reserve, that the museum which is for flowers and art, be turned into a children’s museum. “There might be busloads of children on the property every rainy day,” she said. All of them there to see their dads, no doubt. “Frankly, I’m not in favor of having any retail in a museum,” Mr. Van Scoyoc said. The ex-husbands, who will largely be on display watching sports and drinking beer would probably agree with that. Catalano also said she thought that perhaps there’s a way to tie the permits issued to the person rather than the property, so if a person sells a house, the permit ends with it. Most of the other members of the board expressed bafflement about this. It was a strange request. And of course, the ex-husbands wouldn’t like that at all. They’ll stay as long as they possibly can, or at least until the game is over. The Planning Board adjourned. Their work on this is not done. They will meet again.

This is one that I can walk to from my home, so I go early to get the best selection…then I go back at the end (noon) to pick up the bargains. This market remains small because, for some reason, the market’s established vendors decided not to allow any new producers to join. So you’ll never find more than 15 stands at this one.

reduce the number of employees in town government and rein in expenditures. Who would not wish him well? However it must be noted the administration is using the funds of a two year 20% tax increase and 11% tax increase toward the town cash flow while it battles Bernard’s figure of a $30 million deficit left by McGintee’s management. At least Bernard doesn’t also blame George Bush, former Secretary of the Treasury Paulson, and A.I.G. But the fact is, East Hampton town government was a mess—as it was and is in towns and states all over the

BEST BEST 2009 OF THE

nation. Believe it or not, in the final analysis, I believe Wilkinson will put the town on solid financial ground. In Southampton, it was a different kind of mess. The Republican Party, which held both the Supervisor’s office and the 3-2 board majority, went into the elections with a wounded candidate for Supervisor, the incumbent Linda Kabot. Kabot’s inability to marshal one-party rule into forceful, effective moves to right Southampton Town finances, which were also affected by the bleak national economy, and looked like byzantine financial record keeping. She was opposed by Independent-Democratic Party Southampton Board member Anna ThroneHolst who has made financial management

her life’s mission. In a stealth campaign, Throne-Host defeated Kabot in a brilliantly run campaign that stressed integrity, a plan and some actual financial expertise. An unfortunate arrest of Kabot in Westhampton Beach on suspicious driving charges (a DUI) just before the election didn’t help. To date, the case is still in the courts, and Kabot still has her driver’s license. While Throne-Holst glided to victory, her two candidates for the Southampton Town Board, incumbent Sally Pope and newcomer to Southampton politics Bridget Fleming, had mixed results. Incumbent Board member Republican Chris Nuzzi, who seems to have a steady loyal base throughout the town, and Conservative Party leader Jim Malone remained. The truth is, the politics of Southampton Board meetings is still voted along party lines with the Republicans holding the votes. But with the special election of Fleming to fill the board seat vacated by Throne-Holst, the debate is spirited. At a recent Democratic Party breakfast, Fleming admitted that all of the board members— Malone, Nuzzi, Nancy Graski and Fleming herself—want what’s best for Southampton and agree on many courses of action. She pointed out that she is having an effective presence supporting Throne-Holst in philosophical debates within the closed door meetings of the board. Both Fleming and Throne-Holst believe they can work with the Republican majority on most of the issues— and the town will be better for it.

Roger Tollefson, a volunteer with the Hampton Bays Historical Society, told me there are 10 town-owned cemeteries in the Town of Southampton and 38 that are privately owned. On June 1, a new website will be launched to detail every single gravesite—with information such as date of birth, death and any gravestone inscriptions. Tollefson explained that getting historical information will become as easy as Googling once this website is up and running. He said that in 2004 the Town of Southampton began a study of the 10 historic cemeteries they owned. So far, all the information available on the website is currently limited to those parcels. “Hopefully,” said Tollefson, at a future date the 38 privately-owned, family-owned and Native American burial sites will also be invited to participate in the website.” This website allows the user to search for a particular grave by using the name of the deceased, date of death and/or an inscription. When a search is successful, additional data found in the 1931 Daughters of the American Revolution Survey and the 2004 database obtained by the University of Pennsylvania, with a photograph and an exact location of each stone, is also retrieved. Additional links are supplied for associated searches for the user’s convenience. There is a long list of historical figures, ministers, outlaws and local legends buried throughout Southampton. Westhampton Beach Attorney Michael J. Galluzzi pointed out that Howard Cosell is in fact buried in the Westhampton Beach Cemetery. By the way, in case you’ve wondered, Galluzzi informed me that the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery is that a graveyard is a cemetery that is filled to capacity. I’ve often visited many of the graveyards throughout the Hamptons and find it fascinating to see some of the inscriptions like, “He’s gone, this time, for eternity,” or one that is all too familiar in Sag Harbor, “Lost at sea.” Clement M. Healy has two wonderful books (North Fork Cemeteries; South Fork Cemeteries) that are filled with photos of hundreds of graves. I met him at a North Fork vineyard and next thing I knew it I was reading the books. I now keep them in the car and when I pass a graveyard, I can check the books to see if it’s worth stopping and visiting. Here is a list of a few very interesting graves I’ve visited in the towns throughout the Hamptons. In Southampton, actor Gary Cooper is buried in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cemetery; boxing legend as well as tavern owner Jack Dempsey, buried as “William Harrison Dempsey,” is in the Southampton Cemetery. In East Hampton I’ve visited the grave of British born artist Thomas Moran (South End Cemetery), and in Springs, at the incredibly interesting Green River Cemetery, is the plot of artist Jackson Pollock which features a boulder atop a high mound. In Montauk, in the Native American Grave Yard,

By T.J. Clemente The joke use to be: What place are people dying to get into? With the answer being: the cemetery. But it seems now the living are taking more of an interest in the many graveyards and cemeteries out on the South Fork. In fact, come this May 30, at 10 a.m. (weather permitting) there will be a walk through the Old Cemetery, just east of the Presbyterian Church on Main Street in Bridgehampton, led by Bridgehampton Historical Society’s Archivist, Julie Greene. It promises to be an enlightening walk with questions of who was buried there, by whom and why. The tour, passing those amazing

Farmers Markets

a little something extra because I walk there. (She’s also someone with whom I can catch up on the latest yard sales.) The Community Farmers Market at the Hayground School is my personal favorite. The baked goods there are sublime and not available at any other farmers markets. Plus Hayground School students are involved with the market. They sell plants they’ve grown in their greenhouse and help out. It’s always heartening to see kids taking an interest in food. Located at 151 Mitchells Lane in Bridgehampton, this

market opens TODAY at 3p.m. After Labor Day, it will move to the Bridgehampton Historical Society on Montauk Highway. I was delighted to be able to walk to it from my office when it was on the B.H.H.S. grounds for its first season last fall. I was able to take in an historical exhibition too. It’s so “very European” to hold it in the afternoon, 3 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. I bought bread from Ina Garten herself here last year! In the summer, I go to Nick and Toni’s every Friday – to the East Hampton Farmers Market held in their parking lot at 136 North Main Street,

from 9a.m. to 1p.m. It opened for the season today! Why would I need to go to two farmers markets on Fridays, you might ask? Mainly for the mushrooms. I can pick up fresh mushrooms there from Bridgehampton’s Opened Minded Organics, drop them at home in Sag Harbor, and expect them on my plate when I get home that evening, thanks to “Chef Hubby.” I plan to keep us this “strict dietary regime” through October 1, when this market closes. The Southampton Farmers Market, located in the parking lot behind the Parrish Art Museum on Jobs Lane, was started late last summer on a trial basis. The market is back on June 6 and it will be more than triple it’s original size! It’s the only South Fork market to feature Hampton Bays’ own Boathouse Road products. Their sauces, marinades and mixes were created by chef Dennis Bracken to complement local fish, meat and produce. This market is open on Sundays through October 10 from 9a.m. to 1p.m. However, this market is closed on July 4th and Labor Day Weekends. In Westhampton Beach they “kept the dream alive” all winter, moving the farmers market indoors for the colder months. I hope that they do this again this fall. Not only can you get everything you need for a fabulous meal, you can pick up a ready-made fabulous meal from Dee Muma of Dark Horse Catering. This market is currently open at 85 Mill Road, every Saturday from 9a.m. to 1p.m. The Montauk Farmers Market will be held on Thursday mornings from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. beginning June 24, across from the Montauk Chamber of Commerce on Montauk Highway. Be sure to pick up some sweet and spicy walnuts at this one. This market helps support the local food pantry. It runs through September 30 and then makes a special appearance at Montauk’s Fall Festival October 9 and 10. The Riverhead Farmers Market is worth a stop, if you find yourself in Riverhead on a Thursday between 11a.m. and 4p.m. It’s all about fresh vegetables and it is set up in the parking lot next to the aquarium on East Main Street, along the Peconic River. Significantly, this is a stone’s throw away from two of my favorite restaurants, that “Turkish delight,” Hizir Baba Turkish & Mediterranean Cuisine, located at 40 McDermott Avenue and Tweeds at 17 East Main Street. Do the right thing – eat, drink and be merry at Tweed’s, then pick up a load of Turkish takeout. Ooh, or maybe Greek takeout from Athens Grill at 33 East Main Street. ‘So many choices! In addition to my tote bag and cash, I take my old plastic grocery bags and egg cartons to the farmers markets. The farmers always appreciate these free, and “green,” hand-me-downs. You might also consider sharing a favorite recipe in written form. People are always talking about cooking around the stalls – passing an actual recipe along can be really helpful. Always bring along some wipes – between the free samples and stuffing your face in the car on the way home, you’ll need them. You can find details about local farmers markets, and farmers markets statewide at nyfarmersmarket.com.

Equus Opens the Guild Hall Season By Judy S. Klinghoffer The Guild Hall will begin their summer season this year with Equus, Sir Peter Shaffer’s Tonywinning drama that has entranced audiences since its debut in London in 1973. The current production, directed by Tony Walton, starring Alec Baldwin and Sam Underwood, fits perfectly with the Guild Hall’s commitment to providing exciting, relevant fare for East End residents and visitors alike. Baldwin’s first thought was simply that he and Walton wanted to work together. They were considering lighter, more summery pieces, something along the lines of Hay Fever or The Front Page, but when Walton asked, “what have you always wanted to do?” Baldwin’s answer was quick. “I’ve always wanted to do Equus.” The play shocked audiences in the ‘70s with its story of a disturbed stable boy, who blinds the horses he worshipped as gods, and the psychiatrist Martin Dysart, who wonders if he can cure the boy without destroying his ability to feel the overwhelming kind of passion Dysart will never know. Walton had been friends with playwright Shaffer since 1958. Not only did Shaffer give his blessings for Walton and Baldwin to mount a revival at the Guild Hall, he also revised the play, “not an entirely new draft, “but it’s new to them,” Shaffer says of the East End audiences, “I wanted something that would be new to me.” “I couldn’t have it better,” said Baldwin. “Tony is a joy to be around.” He was enthusiastic about the Drama Hall of Fame director and Oscar winner. Baldwin himself nabbed an Oscar in 2003 for The Cooler. He considers Shaffer to be “the greatest living playwright.” The role of Dysart was first played on Broadway by Anthony Hopkins, followed with a brief hitch by Richard Burton, but this isn’t the first time Baldwin has stepped into a role previously performed by a theatre giant. He played Stanley Kowalski in a revival of Streetcar, dealing successfully enough with the shadow of Brandon’s iconic portrayal to be nominated for a Tony. Baldwin views playing Martin Dysart as “a tremendous opportunity. The words are there. My goal is to surf the wave all the way to the shore.” Sam Underwood, playing the role of Alan Strang, the tortured stable boy, is in some pretty exalted company between Baldwin, Walton and Shaffer. “It’s truly humbling,” he admits, “I’m still learning a lot.” Of his demanding role he says that the character, “comes from deep passion. It’s draining, but it’s an incredible high.” Tony Walton had directed Underwood in the Irish Repertory Theatre’s production of Shaw’s Candida, in which he played Marchbanks. Walton knew the young English actor was right for the part of Alan Strang. Interestingly, Underwood has his own six degrees with Brando—the role of Marchbanks was Brando’s very first role on Broadway. Equus will begin previews on June 8, with an opening night performance and benefit dinner on June 11, and run through July 3. It promises to be a phenomenal night of theatre, but it’s only the beginning. “The Guild Hall has a calendar filled with

extraordinary fare for every taste,” said Guild Hall artistic director, Josh Gladstone. “Alec gets one day off before he’s back hosting Summer Docs,” a co-venture of the Guild Hall and the Hamptons International Film Festival, screening award winning documentaries, such as last year’s The Cove. Summer Docs will run on July 5, August 7, and September 4. There’ll be more theatre on hand. For those of us whose hearts belong to retail, a hot ticket may be a book reading from No Mere Bagatelles: Telling the Story of Handbag Genius Judith Leiber and Modernist Artist Gerson Leiber, by author Jeffrey Sussman along with Judith and Sam Underwood, Alec Baldwin

am happy and very sad to report that in the last week or two all hell has broken loose. They’re back.They’re back with a vengeance. Parking is once again a big problem. The roads are jammed. There are tie-ups and there are legendary events such as this— which has not happened to me in two years until now—where I have driven into town to get something at a store, driven round and round and round and round and then driven back home without stopping whatsoever with the idea in my head that I have to come back perhaps at 8 in the morning or 8 in the evening. Yesterday, in a parking lot, I found myself

creeping along in my car, following a middleaged woman laden down with packages, walking through the lot with the car keys

prominently displayed in her hand. I followed her like an elephant follows an elephant trainer. She had my parking space. She had my keys to the city. I crept along behind her in my Tahoe quietly, hopefully, hoping that when she got to her car she would get in it and some other car wouldn’t cut me off after she left and steal it. I’m told that real estate is emerging from its long slumber. Things are beginning to sell. Advertising in our paper and others is on the rise. And then last Friday, the Friday BEFORE the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, I experienced a cell phone problem that I had not experienced since 2007. You couldn’t get a signal. Beginning around noon, there were so many people using their cell phones to tell their friends and family that they were arriving in the Hamptons that phone coverage simply sagged and clogged. This was the true measure of success for the Hamptons. It’s over. In the real world, from the perspective of the planet, this revival of commerce is not a good thing at all. Oil gushers out from the earth’s core into the Gulf of Mexico. A volcano in Iceland spreads ash all over Europe, grounding air transport. An earthquake flattens the Capital of Haiti and tornados scorch the central states in record numbers. Here in the Hamptons, the high floodwaters are still being pumped out of our cellars to be hosed out into the public streets. My goodness, the traffic has to slow down to splash through. Who’s in charge here? Yesterday, in the newly opened restaurant The Grille in East Hampton, I overheard a man say “Thank God for North Carolina.” Friends asked him to explain. What he meant was that if the oil spill makes its way around Florida and heads up the Atlantic in the Gulf Stream, it will bump into the bulge of North Carolina’s Outer Banks and be sent off course slingshot fashion toward Ireland instead of the Hamptons. So we’re okay as far as that goes. Humans are an amazing species. They don’t know who they are rooting for. All they want is to get theirs. And when things go wrong they say okay, that hasn’t happened here anyway, but if it does we’ll just go to higher ground. So you see? Everything’s okay.

DAN'S PAPERS, May 28, 2010 Page 67 www.danshamptons.com

By Susan M. Galardi It’s a brand new season at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor. Developments over the winter and spring have meant some exciting changes for the venue—not the least of which is a new 99-seat theatre within the larger 299-seat space. While that theater (called the Annie and Eli Second Stage, after Anne Jackson and Eli Wallach) won’t be used during the busy summer season, it will be put to very good use the rest of the year with smaller, edgier, less “commercial” productions. Another development at Bay Street is its newly formed Artistic Associates Committee. The likes of Alan Alda, Joy Behar, Kate Burton, Zoe Caldwell, Mario Cantone, Kim Cattrall, Richard Kind and Mercedes Ruehl will make themselves available for performances on the Bay Street stage, and support the theater by appearing at fundraising and other events. Other celebs on the committee include comedian Julie Halston, playwrights Terrence McNally, Joe Pintauro, and Lanford Wilson, actor Tony Roberts, and composer Stephen Flaherty. The events at Bay Street kick off this Saturday, May 29 with “An Evening with Sutton Foster,” an intimate concert featuring hit songs from the young ingenue’s Broadway career, classic and pop songs, and selections from her new CD, Wish. The musical director is Michael Rafter. On Broadway, Foster played Fiona in Shrek, Inga in Young Frankenstein and Janet Van De Graaff in Drowsy Chaperone, among others. She has won Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Astaire Awards. Tickets for this onenight-only performance are $75. Premium tickets, $125, include the post-performance reception with Sutton. Of course, to most of us, Bay Street means two things: one of the best benefits of the season on the Long Wharf Pier in Sag Harbor and full-scale theatrical productions featuring top tier talent. This year’s benefit and gala, Rock the Dock for Bay Street, will feature the Artistic Associates Joy Behar (recently nominated for an Emmy for her HLN talk show) and one of Caroline’s Comedy Club staples, Mario Cantone, as co-hosts. The outrageously funny Richard Kind will be auctioneer. This year’s gala, on July 17, will offer not only the traditional seated dining at tables, but more casual lounge seating with tapas. Attendees can take part in online bidding for celebrity and fantasy auction items (including adventure trips) and boogie to music by DJ-to-the-stars Tom Finn. Bay Street’s Mainstage series this summer features three productions: the New York premiere of Dissonance by Damian Lanigan (June 1-27), a revival of Lanford Wilson’s Fifth of July (July 6-August 1) and David Mamet’s courtroom farce, Romance (August 10-September 15). According to Murphy Davis, co-creative director at Bay Street, “In forming a season, we try to present very diverse pieces so that (continued on page 70)

Saving the Docks of ‘tauk

Eugenia Bartell

By David Lion Rattiner The emotions in Montauk could be summed up by a posting on the day’s special board at George Watson’s The Dock restaurant and bar. “Montauk’s soul for sale. Contact Town Hall.” East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson took a look at the possibility of selling two town-owned docks in Montauk last week, sending a shockwave through the Montauk commercial fishing industry. The docks are located on Star Island and nearby West Lake Drive. As of Friday however, thanks to an enormous outpouring of opposition, the plan has been abandoned. The idea was simple, sell the commercial docks in Montauk to a private enterprise and make a dent in the deficit. The East Hampton Town Planning Department was instructed to open a query into how much the docks could be sold for and who might buy them. Wilkinson announced that he was looking to sell the docks because the town loses money on the property by renting the docks to local commercial fishermen. Commercial fisherman in Montauk continue to face daunting regulations that are restricting the amount of fish they can haul onto their boats—so much so that they are realizing that they can no longer afford to be in business. The limits have prompted a lawsuit by Montauk fishing boat Captain Charles Weimer, along with other fisherman throughout the Northeast and in Montauk, in an attempt to change the laws to a catch number that will make it easier on their livelihood. The proposed idea of selling the two docks where many of the fishermen in Montauk keep their boats had them even more worried. If the docks were sold to a private business, the odds of the private sector keeping the rates affordable for commercial fishermen were slim to none. East Hampton Town Councilwoman Julia Prince, who is a resident of Montauk, weighed in on the proposed idea and issued a firm and direct response of “No” to the idea. Prince also suggested that the Town look into using CPF funds to purchase the docks, legally generating money that could be used to pay back the deficit while at the same time keeping ownership of the docks within the Town. This strategy—using CPF money for expenses beyond open space purchases—was used notoriously by the McGintee administration and was widely criticized for its borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, that is: taking money from one pot and putting it in another, but with no real new revenue or reduction in spending expected. After a four hour meeting with the town attorneys about the issue, Wilkinson decided to keep the commercial docks as they are and not use them as a way to solve the $30 million deficit he inherited from the previous administration. This was a huge relief for commercial fishermen in Montauk. Bonnie Brady, the direc-

The dock off of West Lake Drive

tor of the Long Island Commercial Fishing Association, threatened a lawsuit when she heard about the plan to sell the docks, and expressed how relieved she was when the news broke on Friday that the plan was scrapped. Many in Montauk feel the same way. “Selling off the docks that would put commercial fisherman out of business for good in Montauk is like saying it’s a good idea to sell the Lighthouse to a private enterprise. Fishermen in Montauk are the heart and soul of the community,” said one Montauk resident. Still, the supervisor and the town board find themselves in a difficult situation, facing a deficit that they were elected by the voters to address—and address quickly.

the arch of season gives audience members a real ride.” From the looks of the line up, they’ve done it. Dissonance is the story of a gorgeous young rock star who wreaks havoc among members of an emotionally unstable string quartet. The play is the first theatrical foray by Lanigan, who’s primarily a novelist. The basic set up is the quartet’s rehearsal for a once-ina-lifetime performance at Carnegie Hall. The members bicker, revealing their entangled relationships. Tensions heighten when the only woman in the group has a chance meeting with the rock star. “We always like to do a new play each season,” said Davis. “We’ve been looking at this one for a few years. It has everything—it’s incredibly intelligent, wonderfully witty, has a great romance, and ultimately a very dramatic ending. It’s the perfect play to open our season.” The comedy/drama brings Tony-nominated Director Lonny Price (Broadway’s 110 In The Shade) back to Bay Street. The production stars Rosie Benton, Daniel Gerroll (“Ugly Betty”), Morgan Spector (Broadway’s A View From The Bridge and The Lion King), and Gregory Wooddell “30 Rock”) as the rock-star interloper. Dissonance previews June 1–June 4; opening night Saturday, June 5. (The shows run Tues.-Sat. at 8 p.m., and Sun. at 7 p.m.; matinees Wed. at 2 p.m. and Sat. at 4 p.m.). Just at the heels of Independence Day is Fifth of July, the American classic by Sag Harbor’s own Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright Lanford Wilson. A co-production with

the Williamstown Theatre Festival, Fifth of July will be directed by Terry Kinney. “We’ve been wanting to do this play for years,” said Davis. “Even though is was written in the late ‘70s, it’s very relevant as far as today’s issue. The play focuses on a Vietnam vet who returns home. It’s a timeless family struggle of loyalty to home and country, with strong correlations to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.” Mamet’s Romance, directed by Lisa Peterson, rounds out the summer. This play, another that Davis and co-creative director Sybil Christopher had their eye on, was finally given the green light based on the audience reaction to last year’s brilliant production of Dinner. “After the response to Dinner, we knew audiences would respond to this,” said Davis. “The play is more of a farce; the most politically incorrect, most wicked work we’ve ever presented.” In the typical Mamettian fashion, no one is safe from ridicule and political incorrectness. The show runs from August 10-September 15. From comedy to dramedy. Bay Street has been presenting its popular Comedy Club Series for several years. In fact, the theater’s motto for the summer might be, “comedy is king. It kicks off Fourth of July weekend with two comedy greats: Joy Behar on Saturday, July 3 and Darrell Hammond on Saturday, July 5. (All comedy shows begin at 8 p.m.) In addition to winning a Daytime Emmy as one of the two original co-hosts of Barbara

Walters’ “The View,” and nominated for “The Joy Behar Show,” Behar has made countless TV and film appearances, and had a successful theatrical run off-Broadway in The Food Chain and The Vagina Monologues. She’s written three books, including the New York Times bestselling children’s book Sheetzucacapoopoo: My Kind of Dog. As the longest-running cast member of SNL, Darrell Hammond, brought to life a cavalcade of characters including John McCain, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Dick Cheney, Sean Connery, Regis Philbin, Donald Trump and Dan Rather. The veteran comic has appeared on “Third Rock,” and “Damages” with Glenn Close. He appears at Bay Street Monday, July 5. Following those stellar acts is Jake Johannsen on Monday, July 12, whose HBO comedy special “This’ll Take about an Hour” was rated in the top 10 by People Magazine. On July 19, David Alan Grier (“In Living Color”) takes to the stage. Grier’s comic success in theater, TV and film, due to his incredible sense of timing—something fans of “Dancing with the Stars” witnessed. Returning to the series on July 26 is former SNL comedian, Long Island’s own Jim Breuer. He joined the seminal TV show in 1995, becoming best known for his original character “Goat Boy” and his classic “Joe Pesci Show” sketches. David Brenner, a veteran stand-up comedian, author, and founder of funnydeli.com is (continued on page 80)

For the show that features celebrities in the real world, Stewart pretended to be a craft store employee dealing with puzzled shoppers.

Living Dead

Politics

(continued from page 62)

the only marked grave is that of Stephen Pharoah, who was born in a wigwam on Molly’s Hill in Springs. Pharoah fought in the Civil War, but was famous for walking 30 miles to work and back every day, going from Montauk to East Hampton. In fact he walked from East Hampton to Brooklyn in record time. (By the way, he was buried in the sitting position.) So many of the small cemeteries throughout the Hamptons have heroes of the American Revolution, the War of 1812, The MexicanAmerican War, the Civil War, and the Spanish American War, where 270 men died of malaria and other diseases while camped in Montauk’s Third House, then used as an infir-

mary. Many of them were buried in Montauk, but the coffins were exhumed and shipped home. Also interned are hundreds of sailors who died in shipwrecks along the shores of the region throughout history. Roger Tollefson told me there is actually a one-person cemetery in Hampton Bays where the Native American Rev. Cuffee is buried. He taught Christianity to the Shinnecocks back in the mid 1800s. Tollefson said that until the website is attached to the Town of Southampton, sometime around June 1, 2010, access to the information can be attained by visiting hgsdb.info. Funding for this project has mainly come from Hampton Bays Historical Society.

The feeling around town seems to be that ThroneHolst is capable. She once told me her mantra was to always be prepared. She accomplishes that in part by outworking everyone in the room, and she’s known to be up into the wee hours of the morning, reading Ben Zwirn the details to all town proposals. Throne-Holst’s plan to reduce the size of the highly paid department heads is perhaps not going as fast as she had wished—after all, some department heads are entrenched. But the idea to shrink the size and growth of the town government isn’t that radical in these difficult times. Lastly I owe a mention to N.Y. State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, who has assisted me on so many features for facts, figures and opinions. Thiele left the Republican Party to become an Independent as sort of a protest to the craziness going on in Albany, where chaos is the rule. This summer, a story line will play out on who will run against him and which parties will support him. Thiele supported Anna Throne-Holst against Linda Kabot and now the word is that Kabot may entertain the idea of running against him. Thiele said he welcomes all challenges, believing in the wisdom of the voters to see beyond local party affiliations. I don’t live in Thiele’s district but I have to say I’ve never met a harder-working local political figure. He’s at every event I cover or read about. His votes are always well thought out for the local area. He is also a former Southampton supervisor. Thiele’s campaign will be worth following. He once joked to some Southampton Breakers baseball players at their field dedication, “I pitch left-handed but bat right-handed.” Former East Hampton Town Supervisor and present Suffolk County Assemblyman Jay Schneiderman has been making noises that he may run for something new, perhaps on the state or national level. Democratic Congressman Tim Bishop has been working the district with no clear opponent yet in place. National experts say Bishop is vulnerable—but never underestimate how hard this Congressman works for constituents. Expect to see Bishop at many of the fundraisers and civic events this summer. He’ll be fighting for his political life, something United States Congressman tend to do every two years.

Brilliant Headliners, Newcomers at WHBPAC as a form of therapy at the age of 19 after being hit by a car. She began to perform on-stage after her release from the hospital, and has developed a loyal following for good reason. Twenty-four year old bassist, vocalist and composer Esperanza Spalding performs her jazz and instrumental music on June 18. Spalding taught herself to play the violin at age four and was accepted into The Chamber Music Society of Oregon, a community orchestra, at age five. By age 15 she had grown out of the classical music scene and started playing blues, hip-hop and other styles at local clubs. At 16, she received her GED and enrolled in the music program at Portland State University. After a move across the country to Taj Mahal

By Kim Palmer Since its opening in 1998, The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center has continued to be an effervescent venue for theater, music, dance and film for the East End. World-class musicians and comedians have graced its stage throughout the years and its popularity continues to grow. This summer will be no exception. The Center will kick off its 12th season with two exceptional musical performances and comedy, featuring bright up-and-comers like Mark Broussard, and icons of the stage Cyndi Lauper and Bill Cosby. On Saturday, May 29, at 8 p.m., banjo player Bé la Fleck, composer and double-bass player Edgar Meyer and tabla player Zakir Hussain will perform a combination of classical, bluegrass and world music. The trio will be joining together for the first time in a concert of original music supporting their new release The Melody of Rhythm. Tickets are $95/$75/$55. Comedian and New York native Susie Essman will share her comic take on people and everyday life in her stand-up routine on May 30 at 8 p.m. Essman has played character Susie Greene on all seven seasons of “Curb Your Enthusiam,” and is best known for her withering sarcasm and uninhibited insults. A veteran of the world of stand-up comedy for 25 years, she has appeared in her own half-hour HBO comedy special, as well as on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “The View” and ‘”Crank Yankers.” On the big screen, she most recently starred as the voice of Mittens the Cat in the Disney animated movie, Bolt. Tickets are $90/$70/$50. This show features mature content and is for adults only. This summer season WHBPAC, as always, will bring several new artists to the stage, thanks to Executive Director Claire Busceglia’s amazing ear for talent and ability to get both newbies and established artists out to the East End. On June 6, young musician and vocalist Melody Gardot will share her blend of jazz and blues. Still in her early 20s, Gardot has taken the world by storm with her sophomore album, My One and Only Thrill, which debuted at number one in France. Gardot began recording and releasing tracks

attend Berklee College of Music, she received her Bachelor of Music and became the youngest faculty member in the history of the college at age 20. Straight from the Louisiana roots music scene, soul singer Marc Broussard performs on June 25, touring in support of his new release, Keep Coming Back. Broussard’s enormous vocals on the perfectly structured song, “Home,” have been heard on the airwaves—it’s a major song for this young singer. He will be joined by his “dirty brass band,” featuring several Louisiana music veterans, in an energetic live performance. Other new artists include folk and soul artist (continued on page 86)

Baystreet

(continued from page 70)

back on August 7 for a special Saturday performance. Brenner has completed four HBO Specials, including “David Brenner: Back with a Vengeance”—one of the network’s highest rated shows. Since his debut on season one of “Last Comic Standing,” larger than life comedian Ralphie May hits the theatre August 16. With record-setting Comedy Central specials, May’s highly-relatable comedic genius has brought him huge popularity. On August 23, Joe Piscopo and Bobby Slaton appear together. Piscopo has appeared in films including Johnny Dangerously and Wise Guys, on Broadway in Grease! and not to mention, years on SNL. Slaton is no stranger to film either, with his scene-stealing roles in

Get Shorty, Ed Wood, Bandits and Dreamgirls. The series ends August 30 with Jamie Kennedy, infamous for his performance in Wes Craven’s Scream and Scream 2, as well as the TV show, “The Jamie Kennedy Experiment.” Tickets to the comedy series are $60; for Behar and Hammond, $60 and $75. Before the Comedy Series begins, Bay Street will host musical Monday events with The Legends Series on the big screen. Compiled and hosted by filmmaker Joe Lauro, the series brings amazing musical performance clips culled from the Historic Films Archive. The series opened to an overflowing crowd on May 22 with “Legends in Rock.” Next up, on June 7, is “Legends of Jazz and

Blues,” featuring performances by Billy Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Jimmy Reed and Nat King Cole, to name a few. At the June 14 “Fabulous Divas” screening, you’ll see and hear rare and exciting footage of Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Eartha Kitt, Janis Joplin, Madonna, Julie Andrews and Ethel Merman. The series wraps up June 21 with “The Pioneers of Rock”—seminal performers Elvis, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Louis Prima and others. Tickets to Legends Series, Mondays at 8 p.m., are $15. Comedy, dramedy, live music and film—Bay Street has it all this season. Get it while it’s hot.

Equus

Gerson Leiber. On Wednesdays from July 7 through August 25, the Guild Hall is presenting “Kidfest,” a variety of offerings including Circurious, Bubble Mania, the Hudson Vagabond Puppets, and Expect the Impossible, with Mark Nizer. Kidfest features a hands-on workshop from 3:30 – 4:30 prior to the 5 p.m. performances. That leaves plenty of time to enjoy the beach and then top it off with a theatre experience with your children that you can enjoy as well. If no one is currently calling you Mommy and smearing you with peanut butter, feel free to take a little niece and nephew and be the coolest aunt or uncle in the Hamptons. Music lovers can take note of Guild Hall’s classical series “Midsummers’ Night Music” on four Thursdays beginning July 8, featuring the works of favorites such as Schubert and Mozart with the Manhattan String Quartet, Russian and French masterpieces with outstanding violinist Mikhail Simonyan and more enticing fare. If you thrill to the sound of great standards, Broadway’s best or jazzy vocals, Guild Hall has plenty to fit the bill. Andrea Marovicci will be back on July 10 singing hits from classic movies, and Cole Porter will get his due from jazz songstress Karen Akers July 30. The next day, July 31, Christine Ebersole will offer her “Garage Band Fantasy”—a concert of songs writing by women composers, sung by the girl groups of the ‘60s. August 8 is the day for “Dreaming of a Song,” the music of Hoagy Carmichael, performed by Klea Blackhurst and Bill Stritch. There’s more on the Guild Hall’s menu to whet your summer appetite. Straight from “The View,” Joy Behar and Meredith Viera will bring “Today’s View” to the Guild Hall for conversation, comedy, coffee and a chance to meet, greet and brunch with these two ladies on July 11. Later in the month, July 24, Florence Henderson and Bruce Vilanch will team up for “A Bipolar Evening with Friends.” The title alone speaks volumes. There’s so much more at Guild Hall to complement your summer that the only thing to do is start with Equus in June and just work your way through. This is one summer season you just can’t miss. 1319314

Sag Whaling Museum’s Orphans Revealed By Stacy Dermont It has been especially busy in “East End History World.” On a recent Saturday, in addition to the all-day Dominy Furniture symposium in East Hampton, the Southampton Historical Society held its big house tour (they went inside!), the Sag Harbor Historical Society celebrated their 25th anniversary and the 1777 Battle of Sag Harbor was re-enacted throughout Sag Harbor Village and Long Beach. Whew! It was easy to miss the “little gem” at the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum. Luckily you have until October 15, 2010 to visit it. This year’s summer exhibition, “Orphans in the Attic,” is designed to help the museum strengthen its base of community support and awareness. Sag Harbor’s whaling museum has brought into sharp focus the important issues shared with other regional museums including: limited exhibition and storage space, the conservation needs of its objects, and funding priorities. The bulk of the Whaling Museum collection was assembled from local households, testifying to the community support that the institution continues to enjoy since its founding in 1936. Objects are typically acquired in “as found” condition and so are often in need of major repair or treatment. “Orphans in the Attic” not only satisfies visitors’ curiosity about “where all the other stuff is,” about objects that are not on exhibition, it

also provides an opportunity to highlight some of the conservation challenges. Some significant objects currently require costly repairs. This exhibition asks the public to help save these treasures for future generations. Guest curator/conservator Judy Estes has assisted staff in selecting the objects for exhibition and personalized their display by creating individual “biographies” that explain their origins, history of ownership and use, and techniques for repair or treatment. Estes serves as part-time curator for the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities (SPLIA), based in Cold Spring Harbor and she

is a consultant to numerous museums across Long Island. As a long-time resident and noted museum professional working here on Long Island, Judy has developed a special knowledge of local artifacts and their significance to the region. She has studied the material culture of the East End in particular and understands the unique characteristics and challenges of its coastal climate. Working in collaboration with museum staff and volunteers, Estes has selected a group of interesting objects for the exhibition. These display a range of sizes, age, material composition, (continued on page 106)

DAN'S PAPERS, May 28, 2010 Page 87 www.danshamptons.com

While You Were Gone: RE Update By TJ Clemente Last summer, it seemed that the sound track of the movie Jaws was playing as a backdrop to the Hamptons real estate scene. Many agents reported to me that they were driving buyers (sharks) around to look at homes. Then the sharks would attack with crazy lowball prices, hoping that some weak hearted owner would flounder and give away a choice piece of property. Luckily, for sanity’s sake, very few owners engaged in the panic sell. Instead, most of them eventually, as Town and Country President Judi Desiderio put it, “priced their homes correctly.” The bottom of the market stabilized and prices stopped the free fall in which thousands of dollars that took years to accumulate melted away like butter on a hot plate. Then the third quarter figures came in. During that time period in 2009, real estate sales results showed the market was indeed, no longer in free fall. It showed activity and growth for high-end homes over $2.5 million. The Dow flirting upward around 10,000 was then a sign of a recovery in the net worth of stock owners who watched home sales and prices plunge when the Dow bounced at the decade low of 6,500, following the previous year’s financial meltdown. Momentum was returning as consumers and homebuyers began to make long-term purchases based on value, need and desires. “Panic” was no longer used to describe local real estate and business markets. Reports now show that a bottom was established, sales are on the rise and that

Top: Stalled Sag Harbor eyesores; Bottom: East Hampton’s Sea Spray Cottages, on auction

things are looking brighter. But earlier statistics also revealed how dismal things still were. Using Town & County statistics, 1,045 homes were sold in all of the Hamptons (North and South Forks) in 2009. That number was up 4.92% from the 996 sold in 2008. On the North Fork, the difference was negligible, with 312 total sales in 2009, a difference of just one house compared to the 311 sales in 2008. The overall good news was that sales on the East End in 2009 increased slightly. The bad news was that 2008 was, no surprise, a historically bad year. Sag Harbor Village, never one to follow the latest trends, actually showed a sales decline of almost half in 2009 versus 2008

(from 43 down to 23 sales). East Hampton Village sales decreased by 14.63%. Southampton area (including North Sea) decreased by almost 9%, with total 2009 sales at 85, versus 93 in 2008. Yet, in Southampton Village, home sales in 2009 increased by 15.25%, with 68 sales compared to 59 in 2008. The median price of a Southampton Village sale in 2009 was $1.84 million, down 18.22% from the $2.25 median figure of 2008. The greatest increase in sales was in Bridgehampton, where the number of sales in 2009 increased by a whopping 50.51%—there were 131 sales in 2009 compared to 87 in 2008. It may be noted that these sales had the highest median price in all the Hamptons at $2.7 million. Not only was Bridgehampton’s median the highest, but it actually increased by 28.57% from $2.1 million in 2008. This adds to the theory that, once the dust settled from the economic freefall of early 2008, the wealthy went about their business as usual. Corcoran’s report was based on its own figures, slightly different from Town & Country’s. It showed a 7% decline in all Hampton sales in 2009 versus 2008 (1,147 for 2009, 1,478 for 2008). Desiderio said the discrepancy occurred because the two agencies use different cut off points for calculating totals. Corcoran’s conclusion was that, “overall sales volume in the Hamptons decreased in (continued on next page)

Estate

(continued from previous page)

2009 as compared to 2008. The decline in activity was a direct result of the overall economy and the troubled national real estate market experienced in 2009. We are, however, witnessing signs of local improvement as we enter 2010.” The report went on to say that, “positive signs of increased activity in the fourth quarter have created the first quarterly drop in inventory in more than one year.” The trend continues to grow positive as the 2010 First Quarter results posted by Town & Country and the Corcoran Group showed huge increases in activity across the board. On the North Fork the volume of activity in the Q1 2010 increased by 77%. On the South Fork (Westhampton/Quogue including Shelter Island to Montauk), Q1 sales were up 124%. In most of the hamlets on the East End, the median price of homes was also on the rise. On the South Fork the median number went up a healthy 46% (to $950,000). On the North Fork the increase was a more modest 8%. Therefore, it was summarized by many experts, including Charles Paulos, First V.P. of Investment, for Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management, that the idea of spending even up to $60,000 annually on rent was no longer smarter than buying. The market was no longer in a free fall and you could see it on the faces of homeowners across the East End, if not across the country. Voices of reason in the darkest hours, like that of Bridgehampton National Bank CEO and President Kevin

O’Connor, knew that property here, with its proximity to, “that ocean with those beaches,” had intrinsic value that would once again stabilize the local market and become attractive to the smartest money. It was a prime time to buy and thus activity started robustly. Corcoran’s report stated that the Hamptons experienced a significant 124% increase in residential unit sales in the Q1 versus the same period a year ago; a 46% increase in median home price and a 155% increase in sales volume. The report states, “Inventory continues to increase as positive market conditions convince sellers that the time is right to list.” Comparing Q1 2010 with Q1 2009 showed that in Amagansett, activity was up with 19 homes selling in the first quarter as opposed to only 7 in 2009. The median price dropped by 59%, from $3.1 million to $1.58 million. An insider said the figures were misleading. “It means a larger cross section of homes are selling, not just the trophies. It’s a great development.” In fact the overall Hamptons 2010 Q1 sales were up 124%, with 466 sales (from Westhampton/Quogue including Shelter Island all the way out to Montauk). And how’s this for a positive turn of numbers? In Wainscott, Q1, sales were up 2,600%, with 27 in 2010 compared to ONE the year before. The smallest increase was in Montauk, at a respectable 44% (23 this year compared to 16 in ‘09). On the North Fork, there were 108 sales, as opposed to just 61 in 2009. On the South Fork the median price rose a healthy 46% to $950,000 from $650,000

Q1, 2009. On the North Fork the increase was a more modest 8%—up to $439,000 from $405,000 in 2009. The residential luxury market is defined as the top 10% of all residential sales made. On the South Fork the increase in median price in the luxury market was up 10%, with the median sale number at $5.8 million. Total sales of vacant land on the South Fork, regardless of zoning, was up 200% with the number at $75.7 million. On the North Fork, vacant land sales were down by 15% to an anemic total of $180,000. Oddly, luxury home sales on the North Fork were up 83% in total sales but down 30% in median sales during the first quarter of 2010. A sign of what may be coming again was Corcoran Group setting a new rental record for the Hamptons a few weeks back. “Sandcastle,” a 31,000 square-foot cottage in Bridgehampton, rented for a mere $500,000 for the first two weeks of July, translating to about $35,000 a day. So even without the second quarter figures in for 2010, it looks like activity has solidified, and smart money is making smart choices.

fees for non-residents this year with the fee remaining at $225 and they do have a $20 daily non-resident fee. I asked Southampton Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst if there were any increases and changes for beach fees and permits for town beaches and she just said, “NOPE!” Southampton Town residents have to pay $30 per season, with senior citizen residents only paying $20. In Southampton Village it’s a free permit if you live in the school and fire district of the Village. If you’re a summer resident, renter or visitor,

it’s $225. Anyone living outside the district can purchase a Southampton Village beach permit for $350. Note: A daily option in the Village is Cooper’s Beach at $40 per day, seven days a week. Dog rules vary but nowhere are they allowed on beaches in any of the towns between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from May 15 until Sept. 15. Please keep in mind that parking at a beach without a sticker or permit carries fines of up to $250, which is a serious ouch to everyone. Drinking alcohol in open containers is of course illegal and please never bring any

in a band takes place. All the details; parking the bus, unloading all the gear, sound check, dealing with inevitable problems of bad tubes, missing guitar picks and crises such as having brought the wrong sizes of Lez Zeppelin pink panties to sell. Securing hospitality riders, guest lists, meet-and-greets. But, mainly, it’s a lot of sitting around and waiting. This is the real story of rock and roll!” Did I lose you at pink panties? Eventually Paynes and the band disappear backstage and reemerge a few hours later, center stage completely transformed and ready to rock. Lez Zep has several surprises in store. Paynes revealed, “We are just finishing our latest record, LEZ ZEPPELIN I, and will have the first new mastered copy of it in our hands this weekend. It is a record we are all very proud of and we can’t wait to unleash it on the world.” So, what’s next for this Rock quartet? “We are planning some serious touring around the new album this summer and into the fall. We will probably do two big U.S. loops in July and then again in Sept/Oct., as well as Europe at the end of the year. Some other overseas destinations may also be on the horizon. There are also a few other exciting projects in the works of a more visual/multimedia nature; and of course, we’re already thinking about the next album.” More importantly, I asked, “Where is the after party?” Paynes replied, “Well, we’ve had a few good offers, but the bidding is still open.” Speaking of late night, listen up! If you’re in a clubbing state of mind this holiday weekend, your actual nightclub options in the Hamptons are as follows; RDV (formally Tavern), Dune’s Axe Lounge both in Southampton or Lily Pond in East Hampton. The Von Broocks have taken back the Tavern and teamed up with the crew behind RDV. Dune’s Axe Lounge was clearly the club front- runner last season and Matt Shendell, Owner of AXE Lounge told me this season will be no different, “We are looking forward to AXE Lounge being the top nightclub in the Hamptons with exciting guests and busier than ever.” Amanda Mitchell owner of Southern Hospitality PR (AXE Lounge, Fifth on Main) is also positive about the turnout this season and said, “Everyone is especially looking forward to this summer, as the economy has finally started to make its turn.” This weekend, o Make it America” star, HBO’s “How to Bryan Greenberg, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are rumored to be making the rounds.

Susan Galardi

By T.J. Clemente On Labor Day of 2009, with their last look at the dreamy ocean and bay beaches, knowing it was pack-up packout time, most visitors summed up that their time and investment in the Hamptons was well worth it. When the cars were all heading out of the Hamptons for that last drive home of the season, what was left behind was a region that saw business as a whole down an average of 30% among the hamlets. Although some restaurants survived, too many were victims of the reality that many people had to cut back on their spending when it came to fine dining. Thus, restaurants such as The Laundry are no longer poised on Route 27, in East Hampton; along with 75 Main, a very popular Southampton establishment for years. Bob Stevens Appliance-TV, a business in Westhampton for over 30 years where so many East Enders bought their top-end appliances, has closed. Stevens and his staff who were knowledgeable, friendly and actually loyal to their customers. The truth is that, although the real estate market is showing positive activity with triple digit increases in transactions over last year, the commercial real estate rental market is soft, to put it diplomatically. When you walk through the hamlets you will see a number of choice locations on Main Streets without tenants.

The Laundry was washed up

That’s due to a combination of reasons: high rents, lease requests for too long a period or too short a period, and the trend by many to wait it out before they invest their capital to give a small business a shot. Over the years so many traditional legendary business owners, like those of John Duck’s in Southampton, had grown tired, cashed in on the value of the real estate and closed shop. On the other hand, others somehow flourished, using imagination and an expert feel for what the public wanted, or desired. Bobby Vans in Bridgehampton did much better than most fine restaurants, as did the American Hotel in Sag Harbor. The secret seems to be owning the property or renting a property with an affordable lease. The million

dollar-a-year lease J. Crew signed in East Hampton is perhaps a milestone and only after a strong recovery will it be surpassed. Last year, Bob Corton, a former business owner and then a part-time cook in Southampton Village, stated that, based on his 20 years of observations, the 20something club crowd was not present at the restaurants in the usual numbers on Memorial Day weekend 2009. He believed that shoppers were more cautious all over town. Many believe that part of the rental slowdown last year was due in part to the decreased amount of the share house crowds that were typically affluent, ate in trendy restaurants and bought new clothes for the evenings. The trend continued into the winter where, according to Lester Ware speaking as a small-business owner in the Hamptons, “The post-9/11 period brought in a lot of winter customers, not just for me, but perhaps throughout the Hamptons, and maybe a false sense of winter business growth. It’s tougher now.” As in all small businesses, Ware stated the importance of “access to capital in order to survive through the winters.” His words were prophetic considering the lead story across the land this last winter was the inability of small business to get loans due to the tightening of money post the economic crisis.

(continued from previous page)

One group where financing wasn’t a factor were the huge international brands like Ralph Lauren. Although they would never release their Hampton numbers, salespeople, although tight lipped, were not as jovial about the spending of money at the shops. The trend for small shops to be replaced by the big brand stores is now a reality moving forward. Hal Zwick, a commercial real estate specialist at Devlin McNiff, said to me, “Eight years ago there were five of the top 500 national brands on Main Street (EH); now there are over 20.” However Gucci in East Hampton chose not to renew their lease. The report is they may reappear via a short-term, three to four month lease. Some big brands actually closed their shops for the winter this year, just eating that huge rent. There were some causalities—such as the 65 unit condo development proposal by Sag Development Partners (a subsidiary of the firm Cape Advisors) to proceed at the Bulova site in Sag Harbor. Having cleared all its hurdles of approvals, it was halted not by the courts, not by the Friends of Sag Harbor, but by the economy and the inability to secure the right financing. Perhaps being delayed saved them a lot of headaches—like a mid-project bankruptcy. During the off season there was a lot of excitement with the Metropolitan Transit Authority proposing to cut train service to the East End and replace it with efficient bus (a joke) service only from Lake Ronkonkoma to the North Fork. As of now there is reduced service to Montauk. It was only two years ago the MTA was promot-

ing increased service via trains to the East End to fight the high price of gas. The unpopular cuts came after the MTA bulldozed a 10-county payroll tax through Albany, designed to produce at least $98 million for the MTA. Even before the new tax went into effect, Suffolk County generated $520 million a year for the MTA, about $347 per person. The breakdown according to Assemblyman Fred Thiele’s statistics, was $97 million generated by sales tax in the county, $125 million from mortgage tax, $26 million from increased motor vehicle fees. Stepping up to the plate to do something was William Schoolman, owner of the Hampton Luxury Liner, who started a lawsuit through his company to, in effect, annul what he calls the “unconstitutional and illegal MTA payroll tax.” Later, all the Suffolk county towns, except East Hampton, entered their own lawsuit based on Schoolman’s action. There were elections that had business consequences in the Hamptons. A Republican Board and Supervisor that now reign in East Hampton has proceeded to cut the size of government and is trying to sell off assets like the town commercial dock in Montauk (see related story). Beach Fees have been abolished for residents of East Hampton town but were actually raised for non-residents to $375. In Southampton there were two elections: the Nov. 2009 election in which Anna Throne-Holst defeated Republican incumbent Linda Kabot for Supervisor along with the re-election to the town board of the popular Chris Nuzzi and the election to the board of Jim Malone. A special

Attention Employers

election put Bridget Fleming, a fiery former U.S. Prosecuter, in the board seat vacated by ThroneHolst. What has followed has been a thorough rethinking on how to organize the Town of Southampton based on Supervisor ThroneHolst’s plan of efficient coherent, transparent town government without costly overlapping. Southampton Town introduced some new loan programs to assist energy savings by “securing the envelope” of your home (better insulation). Using an initial $210,000 federal grant and later cooperation from major banks including Bridgehampton National, ThroneHolst has said the town will provide up to 100% financing through low interest loans for this weatherization—a process that can save about 20% of the home’s fuel cost in the first year. Throne-Holst added, “Everyone is eligible, there are no restrictions to the homeowners.” As soon as the program is hammered out, every homeowner in Southampton is invited to get on board. So, after writing so many of these business columns for the last two years and talking to the CEOS of banks, busing companies, the presidents of the major real estate companies, the town supervisors, executive directors of most of the chambers of commerce, what do I think? First of all everyone is smarter with the dollar post 2009’s almost total economic meltdown, therefore buying habits are less impulsive and more disciplined. Purchases are now more value oriented. Planning on purchases of overpriced items by vacationers is not a great business (continued on page 106)

model. Offering smart items priced correctly will help erase that 30% decrease in profits most of the region experienced. However this season I believe that the path to recovering lost profits won’t be in increased sales, but in lowering overhead, delivering the right inventory and using proper sales techniques—as in friendlier personal service, perhaps a lost art during the crazy years. As for the restaurants, many owners say the focus is on smaller, fast-changing menus, emphasizing local produce in season, and on inventive presentation along with all sorts of prix-fixe deals to get people in the door. Of course come August, it will be how many chairs can you legally have in the place. The price of gas is supposed to actually go down this summer so there will be more day drive visitors, and with Wall Street all over the place, up and down, a lot of huge rentals will be last minute—not so much for price, but for timing to get away and not get fired. As for the real estate market, I predict a pleasant summer of movement upward but not anything like the Go-Go era. There are smart buyers who have preserved huge amounts of capital and are looking to buy premium homes but wisely, not speculators speculating recklessly. Let’s face it, the nation as a whole, when it comes to spending the hard earned money, is now more cautious and careful. I bet even Bill Gates thinks twice now before spending since last the crisis.

and of course, condition issues. A wonderful sampler was chosen for its provenance (it was hand-worked in Sag Harbor), as well as for the fact that it was framed in the late 19th century and suggests a number of challenges including the lack of light-protective glass and the composition of its backing, which will cause eventual deterioration of the delicate fabric. An equally wonderful oil painting is also among the group; sadly, the portrait was badly cut and appears as if a pigeon had used it for a perch! With proper repairs and treatment the subject can be “brought back to life.” A 17th century parchment indenture is notable for its signature – that of Thomas Dongan (of Southampton Town patent fame) – it may only need archival cleaning and framing. Other objects range from a hanging blown glass oil lamp, a primitive wooden foot warmer, a leather water bucket and a coconut dipper. Each of these “orphans” will be described with their treatment options, in the hope that visitors will help to make the repairs possible. In her descriptive text panels, Estes highlights the special needs that historical objects require in this environment, thus informing museum visitors not only about the objects on exhibit but also about those which they may have at home. This exhibit is really interesting. It taught me a lot about what I should be doing to preserve the antique desk and oil painting in my attic. “Orphans in the Attic” is designed to cultivate an environment in which residents, visitors and collectors are willing to continue to donate

objects to the museum. In other words, they don’t have a lot of space or money, but please do continue to bless the museum with important pieces of local history – they are determined to find ways to maintain them far into the future. Visitors are invited to “adopt” the “orphans” by pledging contributions that will be matched by the museum. The goal is to complete the conservation work and place the objects on permanent view. I love this! I can give $5 to help maintain an old, leather fire bucket if I want to – and you know that I do. Once upon a time, every village household was required to maintain a stout leather bucket baring their family name at the ready. When filled, the leather expanded to become watertight. These buckets were used in hand brigades to douse the flames of neighbors’ homes and businesses. It takes a village to save a village. This exhibit left me, a girl from Buffalo, feeling more a part of local history – because it allows me to give back. Check the museum website, sagharborwhalingmusem.org for Curator’s Tours and Director’s Tours, lead by the museum’s Executive Director Zachary N. Studenroth.

Art in the Museums this Season By Stacy Dermont The Parrish Art Museum on Jobs Lane in Southampton has a very ambitious series of exhibitions underway. “Fairfield Porter: Raw” runs for another glorious two weeks, closing on Sunday, June 13. Don’t miss this show featuring one of the Hampton’s most famous landscape painters and portraitists, Fairfield Porter (19071975). In addition to completed works, works-inprogress and sketches are featured, delineating a unique creative process. A retrospective of the work of English painter Rackstraw Downes (born 1939), “Rackstraw Downes: Onsite Paintings, 1972-2008” runs from June 20 through August 8, 2010. Downes is one of the few artists to have carried the practice of plein air painting into the 21st century. Twenty five paintings will be featured, including

panoramic scenes of American landscape and urbanscape from Maine, New Jersey, New York and Texas. The Downes exhibition will open with a discussion with curator Klaus Ottmann at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 19. There will also be an exhibition tour led by Ottman at 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 8. On Saturday, July 17 at 6 p.m. Racjstraw Downes himself will present a talk on his working methods titled “Turning the Head in Empirical Space.” There is a $10 fee for non-members for all three events. Showing its hipster side, the Parrish presents “Underground Pop” from August 15 through October 3, 2010, featuring 10 artists who embrace a quirky vision of what it means to make art in the digital phase of the information age. The artists are: Scott Anderson, Brian Bess, Cole Case, James Gobel, Glenn Goldberg, Leia Jervert, Michael Lazarus, Nathan Mabry, Kristen Morgin and Jeni Spota. The opening reception on Saturday, August 14 at 6 p.m. will begin with a discussion with curator David Pagel. There is a $10 fee for non-members. “Everything old is new again” at the Museum at Guild Hall on Main Street in East Hampton. Their 72nd Artist Members Exhibition runs through June 5.

Not green water. The same sparkling. refreshing, crystal clear water that you love. With some big advantages. Lower utility costs for you, our neighbors and our town. Energy demands are exploding past the point where LIPA could meet our needs without adding more power lines. And, greatly increasing our utility costs to pay for it. To help prevent this, we formed a committee including the Long Island Pool & Spa Association (LIPSA), Kazdin and local town building officials.

Together, we developed an effective and relatively inexpensive solution. Greatly simplifying it, on exisiting pools, pumps need to be replaced with new energy efficient multispeed ones. New pools, will be built, using the new improved technology. When not in use. all pools need to be covered. Just doing this, every pooll owner will save at least $350-$500 each season, in their utility bills. And you’re saving yourself and you neighbors from out of control utility costs.

Twentysomething…By David Lion Rattiner “Dude, I have pictures of Jimmy Buffet at the beach in Montauk,” said Lianne Alcon, the creative director here at Dan’s. It was Friday, and we were gearing up for the Memorial Day issue and I was in a panic to find a cover for the Montauk Pioneer, the local weekly newspaper in Montauk and part of the Dan’s Papers publications. I have been the editor of that newspaper for about seven years now, which, in the words of Ron Burgundy, “is in no way depressing.” I call the Montauk Pioneer “the little paper that could.” Sometimes the paper is 12 pages in size (12 amazing pages) and I try to fit everything local and about Montauk in there. Every town needs a newspaper, this one is Montauk’s

and it has been that way for 50 years since my Dad started it. Back then it was two pages in size. Today, at the height of summer, 36. Boo ya. Politics in Montauk however, are ruthless. Everything, and I mean everything that gets printed in this little Montauk paper can cause a problem. Write about one restaurant, the others get mad. Cover a Montauk event and there was another one that weekend. Put a picture of Jimmy Buffet on the cover and everyone goes nuts. Cover a shark tournament, animal rights activists go bananas. Some love the Surf Lodge, others passionately hate it. Jimmy Buffet you say? What could possibly be wrong with him? Well let me explain. Back in the office last Friday, I tell Lianne, “No,

we can’t do Jimmy Buffet on the cover.” “What? Why?” “It will turn the locals off. You have to be cool about the fact that Jimmy Buffet loves Montauk in the summer. You have to act like it’s no big deal, if you put him on the cover, then it’s like we think it’s so cool that he’s in Montauk.” “But it is cool,” Lianne said, “Yea it is cool,” said Genevieve Salamone, the graphic designer for the paper, and a fine cooking columnist. “You just don’t get it do you?” I shook my head. “There is an understanding of celebrities in Montauk. In East Hampton, you can gossip all you want. Celebrities host benefits, they give talks. In Montauk however, they are just another surfer or just another fisherman. Deep down inside their souls, Montaukers all freak out like crazy that celebrities are there, but on the outside, you’ve got to be cool about it. It’s sort of the law and it makes sense. Nobody wants Montauk to be a place for famous people to be seen, that kind of defeats the whole purpose of the place. It’s supposed to be a blue-collar place that just so happens to attract rich and famous people because of the fact that it is blue collar. In fact, somebody will probably kick my ass if we put his picture on the cover, or I’ll get arrested in Montauk for a ‘broken tail light,’ so no.” There was mumbling and it was understood, and I had to get back to doing my responsibilities for the breadmaker, Dan’s Papers. As the day ended, I was finishing up this column and then ran over to the arts department to let them know that I was writing about the conversation about Jimmy Buffet and the cover of the Montauk Pioneer.

DOWN IN THE TUBE Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kirstin Davis and Kim Cattrall were talking animatedly about some upcoming movie scene they were shooting on an express train between Southampton and Bridgehampton. They were not shooting the scene there, they were just talking about shooting the scene, which would be somewhere else. CAFETERIA OPENS FOR LUNCH, NOBODY COMES Hampton Subway opened its employee cafeteria in the Hampton Subway building in Hampton Bays to the public last week and nobody came. It had been intended as a way to raise funds for our operation and we had hired extra chefs and busboys and gotten in more food, so all in all it didn’t work out at all. At the end of the day, the meatloaf, Jell-O molds and hot dogs were given to Meals on Wheels. Adding insult to injury, we were also visited by the Suffolk County Health Department and the Southampton Zoning Board inspectors who said we would need all sorts of new inspection stickers to serve to the public. Oh well. What should we do? Just have a big barrel with a slot in the top at all the turnstiles where you could put in donations? THE TUNNEL MAN A long-time flagman on the Sag Harbor branch named Bill Hitchcock Miller has been found to have illegally chopped an underground tunnel from his post just to the west of the Lumber Lane Station to his basement apartment at his home on Maple Avenue in Bridgehampton. Apparently, he’s been a dedicated employee who often works overtime and who simply does not like being up in the daylight. He works all day, then walks home down this narrow tunnel he created with a pick and shovel. Then he sleeps and comes back the other way and works another day at his flagman’s post. He’s never failed in his work. Never put out the red flag when he should have put out the green flag. He’s a member of the union and has tenure. It’s really spooky. So what are we supposed to do? MEMORIAL DAY Please be aware that at 8 p.m. on Monday, Memorial Day, all the trains will stop in all the stations for a five-minute pause in honor of our troops who have fallen in our foreign wars overseas in honor of Memorial Day. On each platform there will be a wreath-laying ceremony led by a religious leader,where a wreath is placed over the grille of all lead subway cars before they continue on. This stoppage therefore is a planned in advance event. During it, please remove your hats. Afterwards, hats can go back on and you can proceed with messing with your iphones and blackberries as the trains continue on

Hamptons at War

(continued from page 31)

three British Man-o-Wars. The ships maneuvered for position, but then a vicious storm hit and scattered the boats. All returned to port except one, the British Man-o-War Culloden, a 74-gun affair, which was dismasted during the storm and then shipwrecked off the northern coast of Montauk. The crew swam ashore and the next day after the storm passed, returned to the wreck to remove its cannons. The skeleton of the Culloden remains where it shipwrecked today, sometimes visible at low tide. The War of 1812 A fleet of British Men-o-War appeared just offshore Sag Harbor in the summer of 1813 and began lobbing cannonballs into the Town. It soon became apparent their intent was to land a party of soldiers on Long Wharf for the purpose of burning the town to the ground. Alarmed, the citizens appealed to the young men of the town and the surrounding area to reform the Bridgehampton Militia and come set up a defense line along the shore. This was done, although there was little doubt that this ragtag group would be unable to repel the British should the British be able to put a large force on shore. To keep this from happening, therefore, the Militia set up a 19 pound cannon on a place called Turkey Hill about three hundred yards from the shore. Sentries were posted all along the shore to fire musket shots in a particular sequence to alert the citizenry to an impending attack. After that the cannon would be put into action and the women and children of the town would be evacuated inland. On eight occasions,

mostly at night during a six week period the British attempted landings. All but one were repelled before they reached shore. The one that succeeded resulted in a British hold on Long Wharf for about an hour, but with the withering fire from the cannon and the Americans just a few hundred yards away, they finally had to abandon the effort. They did burn one American sloop at the dock. And they left many weapons and rounds of ammunition on the wharf itself. After that, the British left. And the next spring, a treaty ended the War of 1812. The Civil War The East End did not figure prominently in the Civil War, but it did serve as part of the Underground Railroad, with many negro slaves brought here, particularly to Sag Harbor, where they were hidden away for awhile and then given their freedom. Descendants of these people live here. A museum, the Eastville Community House, has been restored and can be visited by those interested, on Hampton Street in Sag Harbor. The Spanish-American War In July of 1898, in Cuba, the Spanish conquerors had been driven down into the town of Santiago by the 34,000-man American army, which had invaded that island to bring independence to Cuba. As the Americans sat in their tents up in the hills overlooking that town, the generals negotiated with the Spanish to obtain their surrender. The negotiations dragged on for several weeks. Among those up in the hills was the young

Theodore Roosevelt, the Harvard educated son of a wealthy New Yorker. He had brought together many of his friends to create a 1,250 man cavalry unit known as the Roughriders. It was they who had charged up San Juan Hill during the conflict, driving the Spanish off. Many thousands of Americans died during the two-month long Spanish American War as it was called, but hundreds more would die on that hill as a result of yellow fever, malaria and other tropical diseases that they came down there. By the time the peace treaty was finally signed, about two out of ten soldiers were sick on that hill. Meanwhile, back in America, the hometowns of the soldiers were eager to hold parades to welcome the victors home. President McKinley, warned about what was going on in the hills above Santiago, worried that returning the soldiers directly home could create a nationwide epidemic. Keep in mind this was long before modern medicine. And so McKinley decided to bring the entire American Army home on troop ships to an isolated peninsula where they could make camp until they either died or recovered, while the press told the country they were there on “maneuvers.” The peninsula they came to was Montauk. 34,000 troops lived in tents in Montauk for the whole month of August of 1898, and during that time, they were honored by a visit from President McKinley himself. As for Roosevelt, he went on to become the Governor of New York and then President of the United States. In September, the troops returned to their hometowns. As it happened, less than two (continued on page 114)

Hamptons at War

dozen American soldiers died in Montauk during that month. World War I During World War I, an army air force base was built at Montauk for the training and testing of bi-plane aircraft, blimps and dirigibles. The airstrip is believed to have been a dirt track running parallel to the dirt track of the Montauk Highway right where the center of town is today. The dirigibles were in hangars just to the north of downtown facing out onto Fort Pond. To see black and white photographs of this military base, go to the Shagwong Tavern on Main Street because these photos are framed and line the walls there today. And give my regards to Jimmy Hewitt, the longtime owner of the establishment. Also on eastern Long Island during World War

I was the large basic training base called Camp Upton located at Yaphank, Long Island. More than a 100,000 troops were trained there before being shipped off to Europe. A torpedo testing station was set up during that war in Sag Harbor at a facility just to the east of Long Wharf, where the B. Smith’s restaurant is today. After World War I, by the way, several pilots attempted to fly one of the dirigibles to Paris. It would have been one of the earliest of the air crossings to that continent. But while refueling in Nova Scotia, the dirigible broke free from its moorings in a storm and was destroyed on some rocks. World War II In World War II, an army base called Camp

Hero was created out by the Montauk Lighthouse. There was a lookout tower built— still there—in front of the lighthouse, and a concrete machine gun pillbox nest, no longer there, on the cliff face of the Lighthouse grounds. Further back were anti-aircraft guns and four bunkers anchoring a total of eight 16-inch guns, giant artillery guns that could fire shells more than six miles to sink Nazi ships. The Army Air Force built a huge base in Westhampton—now Gabreski Airport—which was filled with bombers and fighters for most of the war. On the shores of Fort Pond Bay in Montauk, the Navy set up a torpedo testing range. Tens of thousands of torpedoes were taken out from factories in Brooklyn and New York, tested, and then brought back for shipment out to sub bases around the world. There were also steel reinforced concrete lookout towers built along the southern coast of Long Island all the way from Montauk to New York. The government would seize the land, build these lookout towers, then when the war ended, turn the properties back to their owners, but now with a concrete structure on them. Many today are incorporated into beachfront homes that were subsequently built around them. Late one night in June of 1942, four Nazi saboteurs took a rubber boat from a Nazi U-Boat to come ashore on the beach directly in front of the Amagansett Coast Guard Station down Atlantic Avenue. There, they buried explosives in the sand, changed into fishermen’s clothes and took the Long Island Railroad morning train to New York City. Soon thereafter, one of them turned the others in. The one who did received a life sentence. The others were electrocuted. World War II lasted for six years, with the United States in the war for four. It involved the greatest loss of life for the American military. Nearly a quarter million men died in that conflict to defeat Hitler and Tojo. Thousands of them came from eastern Long Island. Some people credit a Long Island man named Leroy Grumman for inventing an aircraft that finally was a match for the previously invincible Japanese Zero fighter planes in the Pacific theatre of operations in the early days of the war. Grumman built his first manufacturing facility in Bethpage, Long Island. Some say his F4F Wildcats and later F6F Hellcats changed the course of the war against the Japanese. The Korean Conflict The Korean War marked the beginning of the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Fighter jets now were to be seen at the Westhampton Air Force Base. Guided missiles were placed in silos out here for the first time, one group of them in Miller Place and Wading River, another group of them in a field next to the Westhampton Air Force Base. The Grumman Corporation was now testing aircraft out at a new airbase they built for themselves in Riverhead, Long Island. Their black F9F jet fighters graced all American aircraft carriers in those years. Camp Hero shut down after World War II, but now on the adjacent government-owned property is an air force base, the 773rd, appeared behind a chain link fence. The 773rd did not have mis(continued on next page)

T h e S h e l t e r e d I s l a n d e r By Sally Flynn It’s Not Easy Being Blue NH Man Snares Rare, Cobalt-Blue Lobster PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – New Hampshire lobsterman Bill Marconi thought he had caught a shiny blue beer can in his trap. It turns out it was a rare, cobalt-blue lobster. “Good morning. This is Jan Percy, coming to you live from the Seacoast Science Center in Portsmouth, where our special guest is the new, one-in-five million, blue lobster recently donated to the Center. We’ve dropped a special microphone in the tank and through the miracle of iPads, we can talk to our new friend. Hello little blue guy! How are you today?” “I feel like crap. I’m sliding off a plastic reef, there’s nothing to eat but the rotten chicken they feed us. It’s true we eat things that are dead, but very few chickens drown and make it

to the bottom of the ocean, you know what I’m saying? A couple of fish heads would be nice.” “But you’re the only blue lobster in the tank. There are only a few of you in captivity. You must feel some sense of pride, of being special.” “Puhleez! I’m not the only lobster in this display tank you know, and I’m only one and a half pounds. There’s a big guy who’s 11 pounds. He gets to live because he’s huge, but he’s a real bastard. He walks over all of us, especially the new guys, and guess how hard it is for

him to spot a blue lobster? You might as well put a flag on my antenna that says, ‘Crush Here.’ And crabs! You put us in the same tank as crabs!” “What’s the problem with crabs? You live together under the sea, don’t you?” “Let me help you out here sister. Crustaceans, like humans, have a basic stratification to their society. Putting crabs in to live side by side with lobsters is like putting crack addicts in with neurosurgeons, okay? They can’t even walk straight. They’re the first (continued on next page)

siles nor aircraft, but they did have radar. The tower was built in 1958, after the Korean War ended. It’s abandoned now, but it would have warned Westhampton to scramble fighters if an enemy approached. There was also a top secret storage depot in Montauk for spare parts for the Air Force’s best fighter plane during the Korean War, the North American Aviation F-86 Sabrejets. Many Sabrejets engaged with Russian Migs over Korea during that conflict. The depot was by the Montauk Railroad Station. The Vietnam War Vietnam was the last of the wars fought to contain Communism as espoused by the Soviet Union. Grumman was now building the F14 fighter in Riverhead, which in its time was the most powerful fighter plane in the world. It was not decommissioned until 2006. Protests against the war were held in the Hamptons in those years. Vietnam was far away. But many East Enders participated in it and many made the ultimate sacrifice. For a long time, between the end of the Vietnam and the first Gulf Wars, an entire generation (1975-1990) enjoyed peace. There was little military presence here in those years and not much since. Currently, there is an Air Force Rescue Unit, the New York Air National Guard’s 106th Rescue Wing, based now at Gabreski Airport and at the ready should a sea rescue be necessary. It has been involved in dozens of rescue operations, not only for the military but also for the Coast Guard when not engaged in military operations. At the present time, many of our local men and women are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan determined to defeat a group of religious extremists who kill innocent people around the world by blowing up themselves and those around them. A bridge in Sag Harbor has been named in honor of one of our local soldiers who gave his life in this conflict. Several other public places have been named in honor of others who have given their lives. It’s a strange world in which we live today. Everyone is involved in this action to keep America and its allies safe. As for those in the military, we honor them on Memorial Day.

ones on the scene when anything big and dead shows up. We hang back ‘til they eat off all the raggedy stuff and then leave. Lobsters only scavenge the best of the rest and leave the little tidbits for the shrimp who at least have curved tails.” “I wasn’t aware of any of that.” “Of course not, why would the Discovery Channel cover that? They just look for new species of crustaceans. We run and hide from divers because we know, what they film today, they fillet tomorrow.” “So, I guess you’d rather be back in the Atlantic?” “Picking up on that are you? Of course I’d rather be home. I miss my family. I had a nice girl and she didn’t mind me being blue. It’s not

easy being blue when everyone else is a normal mottled green. I went through a lot. I got a nice place together with this blue sponge and we helped each other. I hid next to him and brought him food. It was a good life, until...” “But still, living in the display tank is better than, you know...” “Being boiled alive, bored out and dipped in melted butter? Yes, you could say that.” “Do blue lobsters taste different than regular ones?” “Sure, I answer that, and next week I’m on TV in Martha Stewart’s kitchen. Blue lobsters taste horrible. Matter of fact, I think the blue pigment makes us poisonous. One bite and a human covers himself with butter and goes mad. This interview is over, have a nice day

their way. PROTEST A protest will take place on Monday morning at 9 a.m. on the Southampton platform by a group known as Save Our Subway Cars. They have received permission to protest and will be there for half an hour. Save Our Subway Cars is a group created to prevent subway car abuse. Many cars are run around our system seven days a week, 10 hours a day, with people tromping in and out on their floors and with other people hanging onto their poles. The subway cars, with neither food or water or even a paycheck, perform these services year after year without complaint, and then, when their days are done are simply removed from service and chopped up into scrap metal. This is a disgrace. COMMISSIONER ASPINALL’S MESSAGE This is the second week in a row that we have had demonstrators on our system. Last week it was members of the Tea Party demanding that public funding be turned off and the subway run entirely by volunteers. This week there is a demonstration against Subway Car Abuse. We are happy to allow these protests. But as we have had two in two weeks now and having them (an American right which I support wholeheartedly) tends to be disruptive to people trying to use the system. Next week the Board of Hampton Subway will take up this matter and make a determination of whether or not to limit the number of protests on the platforms to a particular number each month. Those applying to protest after that number is reached will have first dibs on having their protest the next month.

them? The same high-powered lawyer who is representing Kabot. At the present time, Westhampton Beach is in a serious uproar over this. There have been demands that the Mayor resign, that the Police Chief resign, that they both resign. There are charges of favoritism for certain individuals in the Village, there are charges of police incompetence in the village. It’s even been suggested that Westhampton Beach simply close down its police force and turn everything over to the Southampton Town Police Department. That actually got done here on the East End a few years ago. On the North Fork of Long Island, the police department of the Village of Greenport was dismantled by the Mayor and all police services hired out to the police force from the adjacent Town of Southold. About the only good thing that has come about because of all of this is that Kabot has gotten her driver’s license back. If you see her drive by, wave. Give her a thumbs up. 1319638

Readers learn via Joy’s narration that life in New York City and teaching at an Ivy League school has been a disappointment. When she is offered a prestigious and lucrative teaching position at Amherst College, Joy immediately accepts to be part of a group of progressive instructors who are developing an exciting new method of interdisciplinary teaching. With her new job offer in hand, Joy sells her cramped Riverside Drive apartment, moves to western Massachusetts, and buys a rundown Victorian house that needs a major overhaul both inside and out. To help with the renovation, Joy hires Teddy Hennessy, a talented, but developmentally delayed handyman who is an expert on 19th century architecture, interior design and décor, and who later becomes Joy’s lover. As the renovation of the house beautifully progresses, Joy also goes through her own transformation; she becomes less introverted and socializes more than she has in years, and grudgingly acknowledges the emotional benefits of friendship. However, in spite of the positive changes in her life, Joy feels on many occasions put upon by her new-found friends’ personal predicaments. Meier wonderfully portrays Joy as woman who is an intellectual snob, but who is also angry, negative, and guarded. It’s these traits that easily put off the reader, but Meier skillfully softens Joy with humor and insight, and it’s in her moments of concern over Teddy’s potential future and his well-being that one finally warms up to Joy. However, readers will have to suspend disbelief when it comes to the character of Teddy Hennessy, the man-child handyman who is enslaved by his widowed mother’s narcissistic needs, but who has a flair with paint, wall paper, and wiring. Teddy is an architectural genius with keen eye for detail and refined taste in décor. Yet what Teddy lacks is the maturity of a grown man, and Meier adds adolescent clichés to the character from the way he speaks to the way he dresses. Although Joy and Teddy are the primary characters, it’s the ramshackle Victorian that steals the story with it glorious renaissance. Meier lovingly illustrates Teddy’s sense of style: “He painted the little room sage green with the same creamy white paint on the trim and wainscoting that ran through the rest of the house. He hung a plain craft-paper window shade on the one long window and painted the shade’s bottom hem and irregular line of daubed-on sage green dots. An old wooden desk chair from a consignment shop was painted green . . . On the far side of the room sat my old bookshelves, now divided into four sections chair-rail high; Teddy had screwed them

together, added a top and some moldings, and painted them the same color as the wainscoting behind them.” It’s in these descriptive scenes of home décor in which Meier truly shines, and perhaps it should come as no surprise because the author is the founder of a New York City marketing firm whose clients have included luxury icons such as Limoges China, Orrefors Crystal, and Neiman Marcus. The heart of The Season of Second Chances is that it’s never too late to build a strong and last-

ing foundation among the people you’ve come to trust and love. It takes Joy several months to learn this important lesson and when she receives the symbolic whack on the side of her head, she finally grasps the need to change her attitude and that friendship has much to offer, or as she’s told, “there’s the family you’re born with and then there is the family you choose.” Good advice to take to heart—with some decorating tips.
