Our Newest Smash Hit From Argentina!

Miguel Mendoza Malbec Reserva “MMM” 2003

SANTIAGO “1541”

hile has become a much soughtafter source for some of the world’s finest wines at modest cost. We were so impressed by the high caliber and low prices of these Chilean wines, we proudly christened them Santiago “1541” in honor of Pedro de Valdivia’s discovery of the city of Santiago in 1541.

"In 2005 we gave Enrique Foster a challenge: to find what he would consider to be an incredible Malbec as well as a great value for SherryLehmann’s clientele. After extensive tastings at his home, we found what we consider to be Argentina’s BEST value! MIGUEL MENDOZA MALBEC RESERVA 2003, Estate bottled by Enrique Foster himself! This wine is a hand-harvested, 100% Malbec from old vines planted in 1919 on vineyards located 3,000 feet above sea level.

ABrisk Talk With the Chief Piping Plover at East Hampton Main Beach By Dan Rattiner I got down to Main Beach in East Hampton at 5 p.m., at an hour when I knew they would be home. We were going to have it out. “Are your mom and dad home? I asked. “My mom is home,” the kid said. “I’ll get her.” And he skittered off. That’s too bad, I thought. I was hoping to have it out with the kid’s dad. It had been a hot day, but now at 5 it was cooling off. I, however, remained hot. Mom came over, a frail looking thing, her little chick following behind. Both of them had concerned looks on their faces. “Where’s your husband?” I asked.

“He’s gone. Flew the coop. They’re all the same.” “Well then, I’ll take this up with you,” I said. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” “With what?” “With making your nest exactly on the spot where the East Hampton fire department sets off the Fourth of July fireworks.” The little one hid behind his mom. He peered out from behind her tail feathers. “I’m making a nest. The beach belongs to everybody.” “The beach belongs to the PEOPLE. Not everybody and everyTHING.” “I can make my nest here if I want.”

“You can make a nest here if you want. Yes, you can. You are an endangered species. You’re absolutely right. But you know, come the Fourth of July, this is the ONLY spot that we can use to set up all the fireworks for all the people. The PEOPLE. The AMERICAN people. Get it?” “I’m not moving.” “Why not? There are twenty-five miles of empty beach. In both directions. You guys did this two years ago. And we had to cancel the GODDAMN fireworks so you could finish your namby pamby nesting. One hundred years of town fireworks, never a problem, and then (continued on page 26)

358 IS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED IN THE OCEAN By Dan Rattiner If you go down to the beach pavilions at any of our local beaches, you know you’ll come across all sorts of signs. No Dogs Allowed. No Camp Fires. Beach Closes at 5 p.m. No Alcoholic Beverages. No Parking Without a Permit. No Bathing When Lifeguard Not on Duty. About the most difficult thing to understand, until now, have been the flags. They are up on poles by the lifeguard stand. White means bathing is good. Blue means bathing is risky. Red means no bathing. Now there is a new sign, put up at all beach-

es in the Hamptons leading directly down to the water and nailed behind the lifeguard stands. At two feet by three, it is the most conspicuous sign on the beach. It is painted white with big red letters. You read it — you have to read it — as you walk from your car in the parking lot toward the surf. CAPACITY 358 BATHERS I asked one of the lifeguards at Cooper’s Beach in Southampton what all this means. “We have to count the bathers,” he said. “It’s the stupidest thing I have ever seen. When it gets to three hundred and fifty-eight bathers,

we are supposed to whistle them in.” What I came to learn was that this sign was mandated by Suffolk County. It’s at all the beaches for the first time this year. Apparently, the Suffolk County Board of Health has been asked by the Suffolk County Liability Lawyers for their advice on the number of bathers that can be at the beach. There was a lawsuit. Somebody won some money for something having to do with a bathing beach. So now they passed an ordinance. And there are these signs. I have two issues with the signs. The first has to do with the meaning of the signs. I am a real (continued on page 40)

there’s this one year where you move in, and suddenly, there were no Fourth of July fireworks. Over five thousand people and no fireworks.” “We did send you a thank you note.” “Yeah. By carrier pigeon. And so we held the fireworks on the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. We had bought $10,000 worth of fireworks over the winter. We had to do something. And you know what? Practically nobody came. Nobody could figure it out. It wasn’t the Fourth of July. So we just fired them off. Zero. Nada.” “This is not my fault.” “It is your fault.” “The guys knock us up in March in South Carolina. We fly here. We need to be here for five months. We sit, the little ones hatch, we nurse them and help them along. That’s the time it takes. I can’t help it if your founding fathers decided on this particular day in July to found your country. Why didn’t you found it in August? We are done and gone by then.” “We couldn’t have predicted you would be an endangered species.” “And who endangered us? Who?” “I don’t want to go there.” “Yes, you do.” “Well, it’s survival of the fittest. It’s evolution.” “It’s the industrial revolution. It’s carbonbased industries. It’s guns and shooting at us. It’s billions and billions of you. It’s global warming. You’re an infestation. We’re endangered. And you want us to move?” “Yeah. Just down the beach. Maybe five hun-

dred yards. That way, to the east. But before you get to the cabanas at the Maidstone Club. You’ll do just fine.” “For one thing, I can’t just pick up and move. Some of the chicks are babies running around. Others haven’t hatched. I have no help. I don’t even have arms. I have WINGS.” “I could help you.” “You’ll scare everybody to death. Don’t come near my babies.” “I would be very gentle.” “No.” “We just need you out by July 1. That’s only

two weeks before you would ordinarily leave. What if I sit on your eggs with you? We could divide things up. Get them hatched in half the time.” “You’ve got to be kidding.” “It would work. Hurry you along.” “No.” “What if I come around here some night and just kick you and all your kids off? What do you think of that?” “Are you threatening me? Are you seriously threatening me? This is harassment. I’m going to call the police.” “Don’t do that.” “Do you know what they will do to you for interfering with an endangered species like me? You will spend ten years in prison. They’ll lock you up and throw away the key. You’ll never work in this town again.” “All right, all right.” Mama held up one wing and pointed it at the back of the beach. “Now get out of here and don’t come back. You want me to move my family out of here so you can shoot off some fireworks? You’re such a big man, aren’t you?” “All right, all right.” “Now.” “Okay. I’m going.” And so I left the beach and walked back to the car. As I was getting in, she threw me this zinger from the other side of the dune. “What’s the matter with you PEOPLE?” she said. • I need a drink.

Adelaide de Menil, Police Officers and Construction Workers at the Town Hall Front Lawn

Performance Art Adelaide de Menil and Ted Carpenter’s $100 Million Life in Progress By Dan Rattiner When our children grow up and leave home to get on with their lives, it does leave a certain emptiness in the house. The basketball hoop out back has grown silent. The long slide the kids would jump on to splash down into the pool screaming and laughing hasn’t had anybody on it in quite some time. The bedrooms are empty. What are parents supposed to do about all that? In many ways, it’s a sad time. But eventually, the parents left behind come to the conclusion that the page has to be turned and a new chapter begun. Also, perhaps, there is a certain amount of summing up to be done. What did all

this mean? Did it turn out all right? As I write this, I am thinking of a woman I don’t really know all that well — Adelaide de Menil — a photographer and oil heiress living in East Hampton whom I have met maybe six times over a span of thirty years. It may be somewhat presumptuous of me to be writing about her here, but she is who has come to mind. I think Adelaide de Menil’s life has been a work of art. I don’t know if I could say that about anybody else I know. And it continues to be a work of art. In 1973, I met Adelaide de Menil out on the Montauk Highway in East Hampton in front of the post office photographing a house that was

being slowly towed down the highway. It was her house. And she stood by the side of the highway with a movie camera on a tripod with the shutter set to take one frame every few seconds. Play it at high speed and the house, which would take much of the afternoon to go by, would seem to be going by at maybe fifteen miles an hour. The occasion for all of this was the purchase by Ms. de Menil of this old, seventeenth-century colonial saltbox home known as the Purple House from next door to the East Hampton Library for the purpose of moving it four miles down the road to the 40 acres of oceanfront (continued on the next page)

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A FRESH BAGEL AT 4 A.M. By Dan Rattiner At four o’clock on Wednesday morning, I said my goodbyes, gathered together my things at our offices in Bridgehampton and walked out the front door through the darkness to my car. I would be heading home to Three Mile Harbor. Thirty-five of us had just worked eighteen hours straight to get the 300-page Memorial Day edition of Dan’s Papers ready to go to the printer. A few stragglers in production and art remained to wind things up. But everything else was done. I drove silently eastward and then turned

onto Main Street in East Hampton. The first rays of dawn were brightening the horizon. In the semi-darkness, only an occasional delivery truck went by. There was no other traffic. And it occurred to me that after I turned onto North Main Street and under the railroad bridge, I would pass Hampton Bagels. It opens at 4 am. They would be preparing the first bagels of the day. When I got there, I parked between two trucks out front and walked inside. Flourescent lights brightly lit the place. There were deliverymen hauling bags in and

out, there was the smell of steam and flour, bread and spices. Three men in white aprons were working behind the counter at the ovens with giant wooden paddles, quickly collecting the bagels as they appeared on trays at the open oven doors to dump them into large wire baskets. Nearby were huge paper bags, their tops folded back so they could stand on the floor open five feet high and other men would put twenty hot poppy bagels or ten onion or forty plain or whatever else was on the order into them. The morning wholesale deliveries were being (continued on page 41)

property on Further Lane she and her husband Ed Carpenter had just bought. Property on Further Lane was relatively expensive then, though surely not as expensive as it is today. It was grand space, with the sound of the surf and the sea and the smells of salt sea air and the views of vast potato farms and occasional fogs rolling across the landscape. It was a place for the wealthy to build vast estates. But that is not what Ms. de Menil and Mr. Carpenter wanted to do. They wanted to live in the Purple House and perhaps assemble a grouping of 300-year-old homes elsewhere on the property. They’d have horses in the barn, an artists’ studio, a garden house and a pool house. And so that is what they did. All together, they moved twelve buildings to their property by having house movers pick them up and take them there. Many local people complained that the Carpenters were going to do harm to these local treasures, or at the very least take them out from public view. But in the early 1970s when all this took place, saving historic places was not the priority it is today. The complaints died away. For the next thirty years, she and her husband lived there and enjoyed their family and friends there. I’d see them occasionally, at one party or another. We’d say hello, but that was about all. I was not among their circle of friends. Indeed, as a local newspaper publisher, there was probably a need to keep me at arm’s length for another reason — who knows what I might write?

In 2005, this couple began to consider downsizing. Forty acres is a lot of space. At about that time, a man named Ron Baron bought about twelve acres of property next door and told them if they ever wanted to sell, they should contact him. Properties like that of the de Menils, along that four-mile row of mansions on the ocean on Further Lane, were coming on the market in the $25 million range. Baron said he’d pay that and more. And the reason was that the carpenter parcel was about twice the size of any other along that stretch. It was something to think about. What the Carpenters thought was that they had all these historic old buildings on their property — these were the only structures there — and if they did sell the property, what would happen to them? The topic never came up directly, but Mr. Baron, as he hinted he might pay as much as $50 million for the property, said that of course he would want to make his own mark on the property. And he wasn’t interested in history. The couple certainly did not need the money. But perhaps, they thought, their time there was at an end. Would there be ANYBODY who would care for these historic buildings? In late 2006, the couple got the idea that they should donate these buildings back to the community. For thirty years they had kept them in perfect, historic condition. Maybe they did belong back in public view. The first house that they offered up was the very first house that they had brought to Further Lane – the Purple House. They con-

tacted the East Hampton Library. And to their shock, the Library board, with numerous board members dissenting, voted not to take it. At this point, a Swedish industrialist named Robert Weil made an offer on this property for more than Baron had offered. Baron offered higher. And then there was another offer higher than those of either Baron or Weil. The couple thought that there might be an awful lot of good they could do with what appeared to be as much as $80 million. This newspaper got wind of these offers last year and I did write about them. But Adelaide called me up to scold me and she told me there were offers but she hadn’t yet decided to accept any of them and I shouldn’t be writing about what I don’t know about. But yes, they would be returning the historically priceless buildings to the community. What I didn’t know at the time, but others did, was that the bidding on this property was now approaching $100 million and none of the bidders wanted anything on the property but the land, free and clear of the buildings. The buildings would HAVE to be off the property. Probably within a year. You know, there are unknowns to be contended with in our lives on this planet. Who is rich one day could be poor the next. The economy could crash. The offers could be withdrawn. And yes, now it was an urgent matter to get these buildings off the property. Among those who did know what was going on — besides the real estate brokers who were (continued on page 43)

Greenland, as seen from the east.

The Green of Greenland The Ice Melts, an Island Appears. The Locals Call It Warming Island. By Dan Rattiner There is little doubt that I, from my living room, have one of the most spectacular views in the Hamptons. It looks out over Three Mile Harbor, past the boats tied up in their slips to a sunset over the far shore. And it is safe from the effects of global warming. Or at least until today I have thought it was. The house is on the side of a hill seventeen feet above sea level. And though, as the crow flies, the front of my house is seventy-one feet from the water, the formidable presence of Three Mile Harbor Road passes between us. It would take quite a blow for Three Mile Harbor to rise up seventeen feet, cross the road and cause damage to

my house and the others like it here on our grand hillside. But then, today, I read about the changes going on in Greenland. Up until now, I have always felt sorry for this island. When the Vikings discovered it up there in the north country above Canada, they named it Greenland as some kind of joke. It is, in actual size, the biggest joke on the planet. Bigger than the United States, Greenland is probably visible from Venus and Mars. And unlike the United States or almost anywhere else on earth, there is nothing green about it. It’s covered with ice and snow. Greenland? What a joke. Ha.

The changes that Greenland is going through consist of a great unveiling. The ice is cracking and breaking away, with explorers who set foot on that island reporting the sound of it cracking and rumbling and another big one-acre-sized chunk breaking off and sliding into the sea about once an hour. And guess what? Underneath all that ice, it’s green! Or, within a year or two as the moss appears and other things grow, it will be green. There was a report in the papers last week that what was believed to have been a peninsula sticking out from Greenland to the west, is, in fact, with the ice now all away, an island.

ANTOINETTEJONGEN: HOWSHENEARLYDIED, BUTDIDN’T By David Lion Rattiner Antoinette Jongen, an 80-year-old Springs resident, was enjoying her daily walk when she arrived at the bulkhead at the Three Mile Harbor inlet. The sun was shining, the air was fresh and pure and she was feeling connected to nature and to her own life. This is what life is all about for Antoinette, who allowed memories of her life as a shipping manager in Holland when she was a young woman to run through her mind as she walked. She laughed to herself when she remembered the way the men looked at her oddly back then for being a working woman at that time.

She inhaled a deep breath of summer and looked out at the sea. “What a world,” she said. She watched a sailboat under full wind a few miles out, looking clear as day to her weathered eyes. She took another step towards the bulkhead and saw a ledge that she wanted to climb up onto. Antoinette was the type of woman who liked to take the road less traveled. She took a step. But suddenly, she lost her balance. Gravity begin to pull her towards the edge, where a strong current of running water sped below. It was going to happen and, as she does with

everything she does, she let go and just splashed mightily into the cold water. She did not panic. She was dressed warmly, so that would be fine, but then she began to notice the saltwater seep through her clothes and settle on her skin. She reached out for a piling. The current began to take her out to the sound. And with that, she turned and watched as her fate of being swept out to the open sea became her new reality. Would she die? Would she HAVE to die? Using a burst of strength, she reached out again at the piling and this time, her strong (continued on page 38)

Greenland

(continued from previous page)

Not a big island, mind you. A small island, like Gardiner’s Island. And so they have named it. On future maps, it will be indicated as Warming Island, the new island off the coast of Greenland. Personally, I have tried to take a cheery view of global warming as it comes down the pike. We will be having balmy winters in the Hamptons. Flowers will bloom. We will soon sprout palm trees. We’ll have winters filled with flamingos and butterflies. Maybe we will have steel drum concerts. And surely, as those poor states down south suffer in unbearable summer heat, we’ll have a mass migration of people moving north to the Hamptons and we will prosper as never before. On the wall in my living room, I have a special clock that tells me when the tide is high or low. There is a particular spit of land that juts out from just beyond Gardiner’s Marina that gives me a good measurement of how bad, if at all, things get. At high tide, much of this spit of land has always been slightly underwater as wetlands. At low tide, the spit of land is dry and you can walk out there, which I have done from time to time. I’ve lived looking out at this and marking the spot for thirty years. So far, so good. I see no change. But what they tell me about Greenland is that as it gets back at us for giving it a name that is a thigh-slapper, the ice, like some sort of gift wrapping, falls away and it floats off into the sea, and slowly drifts south and melts. And

the sea levels rise. “In calculating the effects of global warming,” one scientist said, “nobody expected that the ice cap covering Greenland would melt at this time. It was thought it would hold out until mid-century. But here it goes.” Instead of the sea levels rising by one inch in the next half a century, the sea levels will — because of Greenland — will, well, the results are not in. But it can be said with certainty

that when the entire 630,000 cubic mile gift wrap ice melt falls away into the sea, the sea levels around the world will rise twenty feet. So what I figure, always trying to look at the cheery side of global warming, is that all this wonderfully pure ancient water will be so refreshing and good for you that we can bottle it and sell it, except you might have to look out for an occasional woolly mammoth tooth or something. Also, since my house is at seventeen feet up above sea level, I will build me a three-foot tall seawall and that will keep the Harbor out. And I will be WATERFRONT. People will come by who haven’t been here for a while and will be pleasantly surprised. “Wow! Hey! Waterfront! When did this happen?” And I’ll shrug and say “Greenland. You know.” Have you any idea what my property is going to be worth as waterfront? It’s worth a lot as it is now. But add waterfront and it staggers the imagination. The sun sets over the harbor across the way, the boats will be tied up in their slips all around, and the road will be at the bottom of the harbor. Is this heaven or what? Want to come over? Since there’ll be no road, you’ll come by boat. From where, I don’t exactly know. But when you get here, you’ll tie up and clamber ashore and we’ll have a party. Lots of liquor, canapéés and I’ll make those little tiny hamburgers on the grill. Maybe we’ll have a steel drum concert. As for that peninsula I used to keep track of, well, at low tide it will still appear, but as an island. We’ll NAME it. We’ll have a naming party. By the way, fifty years from now I will be over a hundred years old. But that’s another • story.

Fundraising Concert Billy Joel, Prince, Dave Matthews, Tom Petty and James Taylor By David Lion Rattiner “Which fundraiser are you going to this weekend?” “The one at the Ross School. And the week after that, and the week after that.” This is the conversation that has the planners of all other Hamptons fundraisers worried. For five consecutive Saturday nights this summer, The Ross School will be hosting some of the most amazing international performers, all in the name of charity, raising money so needy kids can go to the Ross School. Some tickets are going for $15,000 so that a partier can attend all five concerts. Beginning July 14, the benefit concert series will include Prince,

Billy Joel, Dave Matthews, Tom Petty and James Taylor. This is going to be unbelievable. I hate to say it, but this is a whole other level of entertainment for this area. Most summers, if we’re lucky, we’ll have one concert out here with a performer of this stature, but five, and all in a row? Wow. And that’s what the other fundraiser people are saying. They know that these events are going to be sought after big time. Not just because people care about Ross School scholarships, but also because they really want to go see Billy Joel sing “Down Easter Alexa” in the Hamptons one last time before they die. They want to see how short Prince actually is. They

want to see Dave Matthews sing “Crash Into Me” while making out with somebody. These are not charity events to people, these are all out events that are going on in the Hamptons that people really want to go to. The other fundraisers out there are not concerned about this out of jealousy. It’s a matter of business. They think there is a chance that having an event like this will take money away from them. There are a lot of other important charities out here that rely on the good will of the rich. Charities that support research for breast cancer and other cancers are important to support. There is the Heart of The (continued on next page)

EXPLORING MAIN ST. IN THE OLDEST TOWN IN N.Y. By Emily J Weitz The East End is not only rich with natural splendor and cultural refinement. It is also a place deeply rooted in history. In a world where Panera breads are snatching the identities of local bakeries, we are blessed to live in an area that treats its history with respect. The Shinnecocks trace their ancestors as far back as 8,000 BC in this area and Southampton is the oldest English settlement in New York State, except for Gardiner’s Island. The first boat arrived at what became known as Conscience Point carrying eight men, a woman and a little boy in 1640. The crew was aided by

Native Americans as they carried their cargo to what is now the village of Southampton, setting up a camp near the ocean. A meeting house was quickly erected on the hill where Southampton Hospital stands today. All of these details are known because of the records that have been kept in Southampton since its founding days. Even though that original meetinghouse is long gone, there are quite a few buildings in Southampton that have stood the test of time. The Southampton Historical Society continues to fight for the preservation of historically significant buildings, so we don’t lose sight of how it all began.

The Halsey House is one building that stands as a testament to the town’s history. Located at 249 Main Street, this house was built when Main Street was first constructed. Thomas Halsey was among the first English settlers to trade with the Shinnecocks in 1640 and the house is thought to be one of the oldest Englishstyle homes in New York State. Even though you find it in the heart of a bustling modern town, it is kept as it was. Inside, you can still find textiles and ceramics of the era. The fireplace is surrounded by tools used at that time to keep an open hearth. The grounds are so (continued on page 44)

Fundraising

(continued from previous page)

Hamptons Gala for the American Heart Association on July 7, and also the day before Prince performs is the Under the Stars Benefit for the Children’s Museum of the East End. What will these big concerts do to events like this? Fear not. Our view here at Dan’s Papers is that very little will change. We know Hamptons people and we know that when it comes to charity, they don’t mess around. We have some of the most giving people out here and they take charity events very seriously. They understand the importance of them, they understand the need for them and they understand the tax benefits they get supporting them. With that being said, now comes the problem

of being in two places at once, or being too tired to go from one charity event to the other. Well, here at Dan’s Papers, we have figured out a solution for you. We have set up a business right out of this office that will allow you to give your tickets away to people who will attend the event representing you. Each individual has been hand selected by us personally, so you can be sure that you will be represented by the best people. And guess what? You don’t even have to pay us a fee for it! That’s right, this is service to you that is absolutely free to the person providing the ticket because, believe it or not, the people that we are selecting are actually willing to pay us the small sum of $100 to get the tickets for these events.

Let’s Go Cruisin’ Turn it On, Wind it Up, Blow it Out — at the Bonacker Car Show By Daniel Simone It was a warm, bustling Sunday morning, the first of the Official Hamptons Season. A casual crowd milled about the streets of Amagansett, mostly weekend revelers. The best place to have spent such a thermal, humid day was the beach, of course. However, in those early morning hours, a particular event was getting ready to unfold in the still drowsy tinsel town, the Annual Bonacker Cruiser Classic Car show. “The hell with the beach. I wouldn’t miss this for the world,” declared a portly, handsome gray-haired man. If the one thousand viewers who attended the show attest to its success,

then this affair, the seventh annual so far, most probably, will repeat itself infinitely. The classic automobile aficionado typically hosts a fervid passion for these relics, perhaps, because we humans, to some degree, have sentimental inclinations. I once asked a psychiatrist to render an analysis of the motivation that attaches an individual’s emotions to the automobiles of yesteryear. She pondered my curious question and soon arrived at a synoptic conclusion. “These vehicles are banks that store and safeguard nostalgic memories of the past — childhood days, early years of marriage, or perhaps, the inception of a new family.” In fact, this author’s personal experience parallels the doc-

tor’s summation. By eleven o’clock the visitors had escalated to a dense throng. People of all ages strolled through the parked, gleaming exhibits, and a multitude of camera addicts aimed those devices at their favorite automobiles. Thankfully, there was no shortage of food vendors. The aromas of hotdogs and cooking hamburgers permeated the air. “These people love our hotdogs. Every year, no matter how many I bring along, I always run out of them. They keep lining up until we pack up and go home,” said the vendor, a jolly type who ended every sentence in a gurgling laugh.

JESSIE STAVOLA FALTERS ON THE MOUND. BUT WINS. By Justin DeMarco Jessie Stavola receives the yellow softball from catcher Caity O’Brien. She enters the white chalk circle and takes a few steps behind the rubber. Stavola then paces forward to the center of the mound and digs her two feet into the dirt in front of the rubber. She takes the ball out of her glove and places it in her right hand. She puts her glove over the ball, deciding which of the six grips — curve, screw, change, rise, drop, fastball — from her arsenal she will choose. Decides. Gets into her windmill formation, bends down, brings her right arm around from 12 to 6 and fires.

“You get into this comfortable routine before every pitch,” Stavola said. “It’s one of those things. You go back, try to learn from your mistakes and move on.” After striking out the first batter in the top of the fourth inning, Stavola got into trouble. She gave up a walk and a single to the next two batters she faced. The fifth-seeded Miller Place Panthers now had a rally going with runners on first and second and one out. With the score deadlocked 0-0, the next batter popped out. Stavola then threw a wild pitch and the runners advanced to second and third. She eventually walked the batter. The bases were

now loaded with two outs and Panthers’ pitcher, Jackie Doolin, stepping up to the plate trying to help her own cause. Crack. Doolin connected on the offering from Stavola. The ball was flying high into the sky heading towards left field. East Hampton eighth-grader Megan Hess ran over towards the left field foul line, put her glove up and squeezed the ball for the out. Stavola jumped up in excitement and continued on into the dugout after the final out of the inning. It was this now involuntary repetition, taught by her pitching coach, that helped (continued on page 45)

group of local people who first settled East Hampton). Mr. Samot, a devoted vintage automobile enthusiast, carried a proud and hectic demeanor — he scuttled throughout the site directing his subordinates and answering questions. Numerous viewers were acquainted with him and privileged at that. “Hey Dave, good to see you. Nice turnout today. Good mixture of cars this year. Keep it up, pal,” were the compliments of a tall, energetic fan. And indeed, the blend of vehicles charmed everyone. A variety of American Muscle Cars, custom hot rods and a smattering of unique foreign antique autos had comprised the exhibition, approximately two hundred in all. The gratified owners eagerly exchanged facts and details that pertained to their beloved automobiles, some patiently indulging the viewers as well. “This is a social happenings for us. It’s not a contest. There’s nothing to win and nothing to loose. We just love to show and talk about our cars,” zealously stated Alvin, who displayed a 1969 396 SS Camaro. As he spoke, he continued polishing the red fenders of his darling. Others sat nearby, their vehicles in groups, chatting, eating and beaming with pride. Mr. Samot had pleasantly surprised this reporter when he had casually made mention of a magnanimous act — he distributes a significant portion of the proceeds generated by the organization to local families who require financial assistance. In addition, every year he sponsors two to four students at the East Hampton High School. Quite commendable, Mr. Samot. A radio broadcast enhanced the atmosphere of the occasion. The station WLNG 92.1 transmitted live from the site. The disc jockey, Brian Bannon, a courteous and spirited man, cozily sat in a bus that had an array of broadcasting apparatus inside. In between songs, Brian relayed the ambiance and facts of the affair to the mass radio listeners in a vigorous tone while an assistant, Dana Kallio, randomly interviewed some of the exhibitors in the field, whose conversations Brian put on the air. The entry fee was five dollars and the cost to register a vehicle in the show, twenty dollars. Reasonable! Local businesses sponsored the event, thereby increasing the revenues. “Each year, we pick up more and more steam,” touted the charitable David Somat. By the late afternoon, everyone seemed sundrugged — the viewers drifted about slowly as they welcomed a passing cloud that provided a few minutes of shade. The automobile owners were now tired of talking and polishing. One even dozed as he sat in his blue, foldable chair. Several cars roared to life and their owners drove away, while a group of middle-aged women reverted to discussing family matters. At the 7th Annual Bonacker Cruiser Classic Car Show was disbanding, everyone appeared satisfied and already looking to next year.

THE RUNNING OF THE POTATOES STARTSTHESEASON

By Dan Rattiner At seven a.m. last Sunday morning in the Hamptons, almost a thousand people got up, opened a window, took a deep breath and declared that this was an absolutely perfect day for the Dan’s Papers Potatohampton 5k run. Then they got dressed to run, or waited while a significant other or friend dressed for the run, and then headed over toward the monument in the center of downtown Bridgehampton. It was indeed a perfect day. It was partly cloudy, 63 degrees and humid. It was a day when, if we had had an Olympic class runner on the road, which we didn’t, records might have been set. This running of the Potatohampton, our 29th, was to be contested by a combination of summer homeowners and locals. The time posted for the win, 16 minutes and 31 seconds, was described afterwards by the man who achieved it as “respectable” for this distance. It was a wonderful way to start the morning and a simply wonderful introduction to summer in the Hamptons. The leafy trees arched over the narrow roads. The lawns were lush and green. The gardens were bursting with flowers and the potato fields were plowed and ready for planting. All the profits from this event would benefited the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center on the BridgehamptonSag Harbor Turnpike. In 1778, the young men in the Hamptons, forming into the Bridgehampton militia, mustered in a park on Ocean Road just south of where the monument is today in the center of town. And so it was in that park that we set up

our registration tables, our trophy table and our home base water station under some tents to welcome the runners. Personally, I arrived from East Hampton in an old English sports car that I bought in 1964 for $800 from a guy named Charlie Brown who owned C. B.’s Bar in Hampton Bays. I’ve owned it and kept it up ever since. I would be the lead car in this race. And to get it looking that way, my girlfriend Chris and I scrubbed her up and down with soapy water before we left home. It’s ten tough miles for a deep red 1959 Triumph TR-3 from my home to downtown Bridgehampton. But I held it steady and the oil pressure hovered around 20 pounds and the engine temperature stayed in the 360 degree range. So she was fine. I arrived early to give the old girl a rest before race time. And then I brought her out front of the runners as they lined up — about twice as many as last year — and we waited for the gun to go off, at which time, I hoped, I would shift into first gear and she would not stall out. Blam! We led the runners south on Ocean Road for about a mile, then west on Paul’s Lane toward Halsey. Six runners had quickly separated from the front of the pack within the first half mile, but by the time they passed the two mile mark and the water station manned by volunteers from the Child Care Center, four of the six had fallen away and now there were just two, side by side, in the lead, running easily. They stayed that way, side by side, all the way up Halsey to Hildreth Lane and took another left, and then a turn right onto Ocean Road, head-

ing for home. And they were talking to one another. “This is not very competitive,” I said to photographer Kimberly Goff, who I had invited to sit in the cockpit next to me. “I hope they make a big run for it at the end. It could get exciting.” “I think they know each other,” Kimberly said. We could not hear what they were saying. But she said they were all friendly and laughing together. “Damn,” I said. “They’re gonna cross the finish line together.” Well, they didn’t. In the last step or two, one of them, 36-year-old Mike Guastolla of Manhattan, leaned forward for the win. Mike Lyons, 35 and also of Manhattan, was clocked one second later. As the rest of the runners now began to come across the line — 12-year-old kids, teenagers, young men and women, older men and women, disabled men and women, women pushing baby strollers etc. — I got out of the car and walked over to talk to the sweaty, breathless winner. “What were you guys talking about?” I asked. “We talked about the beautiful day.” “Do you know each other?” “We’re both members of the Warren Street racing club.” “Did you consider crossing the finish line together?” “We did. But in the end, he said, ‘Your young daughter is here. You cross first.’ And so I did.” Mike Guastella lives on the Upper East Side and works for a private equity firm on Wall Street. And here’s a surprise. He vacations at his parents house in Yaphank and came out for (continued on page 36)

the run. He and Mike Lyons have been friends since they were classmates at the University of Pennsylvania, where Guastella ran the 800 and Lyons was a 10k champ. And there were half a dozen other members of the Warren Street club who also came out to run. Thomas Heinz of East Marion finished third, nearly 35 seconds behind the two Mikes. Fourth to finish was Edward Stern of Manhattan, who’s time was 17:12. Stern has been a longtime runner of the race. He’s the son of Leonard Stern, the developer of the Meadowlands and the Hartz Mountain company. Ed also worked at Dan’s Papers one summer. The first woman finisher was Tara Farrell, 28, of Quogue — her time was 18:30. The Dan’s Papers Potatohampton 5K has been run every year for the past 29 years. It is the oldest running race on Long Island and was founded at a time that the New York Marathon was just a couple of hundred people running through traffic. The Potatohampton has been an awful lot of fun, kicking off the season in the Hamptons every year on Memorial Day Sunday. And it’s had its hilarious moments. One year, two people ran the race dressed as French Fried potatoes. Another time, my trusty sports car took us off on a wrong turn as I was yaking away with my photographer and I almost had a heart attack leading this long line of runners, pied piper fashion, on a road that went who knew where? Somehow, we recovered and made a second but deliberate wrong turn to get us back and it has been known ever

since, somewhat affectionately looking back on it, as something to remind me of just before the start of every race. The runners have run this race through rainstorms, floods, heatwaves, hurricanes and even over a damaged and weakened bridge across Mecox Bay that was closed to vehicular traffic but was still something the runners had to cross. I had to promise the police that we would post somebody down there at the entrance to the bridge to make sure the runners did not cross it in lockstep, the stress of which might have collapsed it. As we were benefiting the Stony Brook University Hospital Psychiatric Wing at that time, the person who got appointed to check the runners entering the bridge was a Neurosurgeon from that facility, something I thought appropriate. He wore a beeper. Nobody called. The bridge survived. This year we had no such hilarity. Indeed, if anything, this was the most smoothly run event in the history of the race. My hat is off to Joan Gray of Dan’s Papers, who pulled the whole thing together and was there to see that it all happened. I’d also like to thank the Southampton Town Police, without who’s cooperation this would have never happened, the Bridgehampton Ambulance Corps, our army of volunteers from all over and the Town of Southampton Recreation Department. Refreshments were supplied by King Kullen of Bridgehampton, Bob’s Village Market of Bridgehampton and by Hampton Mortgage Co. I’d also like to thank the thousand people who came, 600 of whom came to watch 400 run. I’d

also like to thank our other sponsors, Hildreth’s Home Goods, Bridgehampton National Bank, Southampton Inn, ABCO Electric Corp, AFL Web Printing and Pulver Gas and our volunteers, Lally Mockler, Margaret Rice, Carol White, Blossom and Martin Gluck, Sylvia Fridle and her son and daughter, Claudia Pilato, Marie McAlary, Sarah Quinn, Robin Holtz, Yi Lu, Matt Cross, Justin deMarco and Mike Villensky. The results of the race, giving the times of all the runners, is posted on the front door of the Dan’s Papers offices at 2221 Montauk Highway and will remain there through the middle of next week. See you next year. • Here are the results of this race.

Neighbor: By Sabrina C. Mashburn After 32 years in front of the camera, Kim Cattrall has become the embodiment of the image of a modern New York sophisticate. Her statuesque figure can be seen striding down Madison Avenue on any given day, clad in exquisitely tailored clothes and turning heads left and right. Luckily, Kim does not spend all her time in New York City and instead chooses to reside at her house on Gerard Drive in East Hampton whenever she needs a well-deserved rest from her packed schedule of awards ceremonies, book signings and filming for movies and television. Kim Cattrall has not always been the natural New Yorker every fan of her character, Samantha, on HBO’s “Sex and The City” admires and strives to emulate. Born in Liverpool, England, best known as the birthplace of the Beatles, Cattrall’s family moved to Vancouver, Canada when she was only three months old. When she turned eleven, Kim Cattrall returned to England to study acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. A brilliant pupil, Cattrall graduated high school at the age of sixteen with a full scholarship to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. It was there that Kim began to craft her sleek New York persona, which helped her land her first role in a feature film during her senior year. The film, Otto Preminger’s Rosebud, received mixed reviews but gave the young actress the opportunity to work with not only one of the United States’ premier directors, but also to star opposite Alist actor Peter O’Toole. Like most freshly-minted actresses, Kim craved the tangibility and excitement of live theatre and she soon headed back to Vancouver, later joining a repertory theater in Toronto. During this time, the possibilities of a career in film were still tempting the talented young actress and when she won a contract with Universal Studios in Los Angeles, she left the theatre to pursue her dream of becoming a star. This was one of the last contracts ever given to an actress, which allowed Kim Cattrall the opportunity to build her career following the path of the stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age. She began by taking small roles and acted her way up, working

name across the globe was that of Samantha in HBO’s most beloved series, “Sex and The City.” Samantha was the perfect vehicle to catapult Kim to superstardom, as the character was very similar to the actress in some ways, yet outlandish enough to encourage a cult following. Like Cattrall herself, Samantha is a savvy businesswoman who takes her sexuality seriously and is the object of every man — and woman’s — desire the moment they lay eyes on her, no matter what their age or preference. Cattrall’s Samantha also had depth, as she was the eldest of the four friends on the show and served as a voice of reason and stability when her younger friends needed guidance. Unlike Cattrall, however, Samantha would never commit to a serious relationship, making her dating antics more fun to watch than any others on the show. Capitalizing on her reputation as a successful, independant sex goddess, Kim Cattrall published her first book, Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm, in 2003 with the help of her husband at the time, Mark Levinson. Although Cattrall’s character on “Sex and The City” never had problems in bed, Cattrall admits to not enjoying her sex life fully until she turned forty. The actress wrote the guide in order to share her suggestions for women who want to enjoy themselves and please their partners. The slim, stylish volume was a smashing success and proved to the world that Kim Cattrall had many more talents up her sleeve than her fans ever thought possible. Two years later, in 2006, Cattrall published her second book, Kim Cattrall: Sexual Intelligence. A gorgeous collection of sensual pictures and complementary text, the actress’ first attempt at piecing together a compilation of diverse works was also very well received, being touted as “the sexiest coffee table book ever created” by the reviewers at www.Amazon.com. The book explores why women want certain things both inside and outside of the bedroom and how to find out what it is that you want. Recognizing that many of her female fans are too young to keep such a sexy manuscript out on their bedside table, Kim’s book, Being a Girl: Navigating the Ups and Downs of Teen Life, gave her the

fingers found a grip. She hung on, with the current pushing against her and maneuvered her legs around the piling as well. Her instincts left her and her logic began to come into focus. She looked at her hand — it was bleeding from hanging on. She looked across the way at the beach on the other side, but knew for sure that the current would sweep her out before she could make it across. She looked for areas where she could climb, but nothing made sense. And then the cold began to set in. Suddenly, she saw a motorboat in the distance, just about to pass Maidstone Beach. She was only in the water for five minutes now and her rescue was here. Antoinette called out as it came close but it drove right by, nobody inside noticing her. As a result, she was suddenly demoralized. She’d hang on for as long as she could. She was not going to let herself die here so easily. For thirty minutes, Antoinette sat in the water, clinging onto the piling to save her own life as she watched two other motorboats drive by. “Please help! I’m over here! Help! Help!” She screamed, but they didn’t hear her. She thought of her family and she began to think about how drowning was a nice way to die. She thought about how lucky she was to be able to die in as beautiful place as Three Mile Harbor inlet, a place she truly loves. Her arms

were growing tired and her legs were losing their grip as she hugged the piling. And then, a fourth boat came by. It was a much smaller boat and, this time, it was coming closer to her. * * * Captain Ryan Persan had been heading out to the open sea on a test run. The strapping 27year-old mechanic was checking to see if the fixes he had just made on the small vessel he was navigating had put it in good working

order. His polarized sunglasses gave him a clear view of the water. And now, he noticed something odd at the piling. A small head appeared for a second and then disappeared behind a wave. “What was that?” he thought. He looked again and there she was, a woman clinging on for dear life. He could see her mouthing out words, she was definitely saying, “help.” Jumping quickly to action, he sped over on his boat, expertly controlling it so that he did not hit the woman or the pilings. He saw Antoinette’s eyes and told her to reach out her arm. He leaned over the side of the boat and pulled her out of the water. Her face was blue with cold. “You’re going to be all right,” Ryan said as a mop of soaked clothing squished onto the deck of his boat. Antoinette looked up at the sky. Ryan was right. She was going to be all right. * * * Later, Antoinette was at Southampton Hospital being treated for minor cuts and for having water in her lungs. She was released in stable condition. There was just a little tickle in her chest from the water, but she felt fine and she smiled. She stepped outside and breathed in the Southampton air. She had one heck of a story to tell and now says that she likes being one of the few people to ever have breathed in the sea and lived to tell about it.

chance to share all of the life lessons she has picked up while being a beautiful, smart, successful woman with her teenage fans. Kim Cattrall’s concern for other women, both young and old, does not begin and end with her performances and publications. As an advocate for senior citizens, Cattrall has shown the world her most compassionate, generous side. She always seems to be at the forefront of charity events and auctions, sometimes giving the clothes off her back — or images of herself without any clothes at all — in the name of helping others, from animals and children to women of all ages who are in need of her assistance and support. It seems natural that a New Yorker as successful and charitable as Kim Cattrall would find her way to the Hamptons, where the residents are known for their style and success as well as their charitable spirit. It is in East Hampton that the busy actress can take time for herself, to write her next bestseller, take a walk on the beach, or lend a hand to one of her favorite charities. As smart and caring as she is beautiful, Kim Cattrall is truly one of the most intriguing and attractive residents of the Hamptons. So if you see a statuesque blonde strolling down Main Street in East Hampton this summer, don’t be surprised if you hear that beguiling Samantha giggle as you walk past to catch a glimpse of one of the Hamptons’ brightest stars.

Twentysomething…By David Lion Rattiner Good Looking People I was walking around the towns all weekend, hitting up different restaurants, clubs and beaches and I noticed there were a lot of goodlooking people in town. I mean, seriously, like, are you kidding me? I was on Main Street in East Hampton doing pretty much nothing except saying “hello” to pals that work as managers at these clothing stores that I can’t afford to shop at (shout out to locals), when I just looked around and it hit me. Dear God, did it hit me like a ton of bricks. Two girls, one blonde and one brunette, drove by in a Ferrari, followed by a Polo-ed up blonde in a BMW convertible. As I stared in despicable amazement, I bumped into a mom that can only be described as a word that I’m not allowed to say in this newspaper (milf, there, I said it). “Excuse me,” I said, as I just looked this woman up and down. Then out of Polo walks what looked to me like a young President of the United States. “Come on, honey,” he said in a British accent. I’m loving all these accents out here. There are so many European people visiting this year because the Euro is strong against the dollar and it is just bringing an unsurpassed sexiness to this area. I was at a party that had mostly European people there and the accents just make you think about sex. I’m having hot people overload. It’s almost as if every person in town was cast by a porn director. Seriously, it’s almost like everybody

out here is playing some kind of role in a movie. Everybody has a genuine look to them, but at the same time, you can’t really stop thinking about sex. Or, maybe — it is just me? Hopefully, it’s not, or else this will be one very embarrassing column. I don’t know what the hell just happened, but this summer is the summer of amazing — and by amazing, I mean insanely hotpeople. There is really no other way to describe this situation. Everybody here this summer has a style that just works. If you are reading this, you are one of these people. It doesn’t matter what age you are, for whatever reason, maybe it’s the food out here this summer, you are hot. The Hamptons is just doing it to you. Go you. On figuring this out, I decided that the only thing left to do was to celebrate how sexy everybody in town was by having a beer or two that night. I headed out to Whitehouse nightclub with some great friends, including Pentagon John, and let loose. Guess what? There were hot people everywhere there as well, and Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas looked ridiculously, amazingly, outrageously hot.

I’m telling you, I’ve grown up out here and I’ve never seen anything like this. Maybe it’s all the new gyms and personal trainers that are opening up. I mean, even the deli girl is sexy this summer and all of the fishermen in Montauk look like professional baseball players. Don’t even get me started on the Yankees. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS TEAM? I can’t even get into this season. It is so depressing that I almost didn’t appreciate the girl in the tennis outfit jogging. What to do? What to do? Well, for one, acting like you are not looking at somebody is a skill that I am going to have to learn how to develop a little better. Every time I shake someone’s hand, especially at the beach, I’ve had to repeat over and over in my head, “Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look, don’t look, oh damn it you just looked!” You’ve got to try to play it cool.

Additionally there are enhanced tax and prepayment advantages with increased cash flow not available with other mortgages. Many wonder why they haven’t been informed about this unique loan. One reason is this loan does not profit lenders in the same way other loans do so they’re not easy to find. The company sponsoring these programs, North Atlantic Mortgage Corp., has made a FREE REPORT “Sophisticated Jumbo Financing” available. This report also addresses many other unique types of mortgages,

credit issues, and most importantly how to get a great Jumbo loan with no income or asset verification. If you are self-employed, professional or high-income individual, there are many other savvy “secrets” and various loan options that you probably aren’t aware that exist.

stickler about signs. I was in a bathroom in a restaurant the other day and read a sign over the toilet that read ONLY PUT TOILET PAPER IN THE TOILET. I thought — what’s the point? Now, my problems with CAPACITY: 358 BATHERS are many. Here they are. Does this refer to the WHOLE ocean? Or perhaps this just refers to the ocean in front of the lifeguard stand? Does it refer ONLY to people who are actually bathing at the same time? Or does it refer to people who consider themselves bathers who are not in the ocean but on a blanket on the beach thinking about it? If somebody is on the beach who just likes to lie around and is either afraid of the water, unable to swim or of some religious cult that forbids ocean bathing, does that excuse them from the count? If you are the 359th bather, is it YOU who gets the ticket? Or is it the lifeguard who, for failing to follow procedures, gets the ticket? After all, while you are bathing, you cannot do the count of the number of others who are bathing. You aren’t high enough. But the lifeguards are. Can you tap somebody on the shoulder when you go in and tell them they are IT and they must leave the ocean so it stays at 358? Is it not true that, as some rooms are bigger than others, so some oceans are also bigger than others? Wouldn’t that affect the capacity at a particular ocean beach?

Cooper’s Beach

Why 358? Is that perhaps the maximum number of bathers that it is felt five lifeguards, the usual complement of lifeguards at a beach, could handle at any one time?

A Single Button Turns Off The Lights in This House…

Since surfers aren’t bathers, are they exempt from the count? What about people on inflatables? If the beach is smaller than usual, but the depth and width of the ocean facing that beach are larger than usual, does the number of bathers allowed go up? Is there an underwater sign just offshore of the beach that gives the capacity of the number of fish who can be there? Or the percent of them that could be sharks? Did the County hire a consulting firm to do a study on the maximum number of bathers allowed at a beach? If so, how much did it cost to do this study? Did all of the taxpayers pay for this or was the cost just in those districts near the beach? Will the County require a specially designated employee, perhaps a new employee to constantly monitor the number of bathers at a beach and if not, will a lifeguard have to do that? And if so, how will that increase the likelihood of a botched rescue effort? What in God’s name will they think of next? * * * Well, I suppose none of this matters. What DOES matter is that the next time you go to the beach and you want to go into the water, count the bathers already in. If there’s 358 or more, either don’t go in or look both ways and make sure the coast is clear, then go. And stay away from SCUBA divers in blue. •

prepared. At the counter, I held out a dollar bill. A man at one of the ovens turned around. Who was this fellow, was the look on his face? I smiled. “One garlic?” He nodded, picked one up still steaming from a wire basket and put it into a small white bag. As he handed it to me, I handed him the dollar, then held up the palm of my hand to indicate there should be no change in return. Not at that hour. “Well thank YOU,” he said, beaming. There is nothing like a hot, fresh bagel made by Jewish bakers — well, Latino

bakers — at 4:30 in the morning. Nothing. I started the car, clicked my seatbelt into place, moved around a new delivery truck that had just pulled up and drove off. I crunched happily away. Unbelievable. I was under the influence, no doubt about it. The car weaved out of the lane and I pulled it back. A fantasy: No, officer. I was just eating this, um, bagel. Step out of the car. A few purple and pink clouds brightened the far shore of the harbor as I turned up into my driveway. •

DAN'S PAPERS, June 1, 2007 Page 42

The Sheltered Islander Sheltered Islander # 450 Life’s a Beach Like the midnight hour clanging in Big Ben, Memorial Day has clanged and heralded the opening of the Shelter Island Summer Season. Tourists will come in waves now, like locusts on the move. They’ll stop and feed and move on again. There is one kind of tourist that I loathe above all the others. I call her, “She Who Must Be Seen.” She appears at the beach. She is between 20 and 30 years of age. She may even be up to 45 (with some work done,) and can still hold her own with the 20 year olds. She is thin, wears a bathing suit that is spray painted on. She has no cellulite or stretch marks. She wears big hats and dark sunglasses with designer logos on the side. She drinks imported bottled water that is always cold, even if she leaves it in the sun. She does not go in the water, except to wade. That’s how I figured out the bathing suits were spray painted on, if the Shes go in the water, the suits wash off. She is wealthy but complains constantly about stuff I’d give anything to complain about, like this actual quote “Well, I just don’t like the color of the leather in the new Jag, it’s too medium tan, so I’m having it redone custom to a soft ecru. It’ll be about $7,000, but I have a right to be happy, don’t I?” If you think I sound bitter because I’m over-

weight, middle-aged and poor, you only think that because you’re right. However, being overweight, middle-aged and poor does not preclude being clever, resourceful and persevering. Not only that, but I’m not alone. There’s are lotsa gals like me on the Island and this summer, we have a plan. This summer when I go to the beach, I’ll be bringing a few extra items in my beach bag: Small knife and two thick rubber bands. Over the winter, I have practiced whittling popsicle sticks into sharp points and propelling them with double-thick rubber bands. From the living room, I can impale an apple in the kitchen. From my beach blanket, I should have no trouble hitting implants that are pointing to the sky on other beach blankets at thirty paces. Water pistol. While the She Who Must Be Seens sleep in the sun, I can dissolve their suits. When they wake, they’ll be showing the 1% of their bodies that was covered and maybe some secret tattoos. They all seem to have a little tattoo at the apex of their gluteal fold — a tramp stamp. Food that smells like food. I’ll bring my mushroom and garlic lasagna, warm from the oven, and a little hand-held fan to blow the smell their way. None of the Shes have smelled real food since they were kids. I’ll lob a square of lasagna in the middle of them and watch the frenzy. I predict half of them will

By Sally Flynn

swarm it and half will run away and throw up just to get the food smell out of their nose. Small bottles of Chanel Sun Lotion SPF 1000, but I have replaced the lotion with old Coppertone Instant Tan. I’ll just leave the bottles in the sand near them. They’ll all think they dropped theirs and pick it up. It won’t be ‘till after they get home and get out of the shower and see their orange streaked faces and bodies that the fun will begin. Pens with pinhole leaks: I have pre-punctured about a dozen disposable pens. The Shes never seen to have pens and commonly ask to borrow one from the more practical looking women on the beach. This year, I’ll give them a pen that will work fine and tell them to keep it. When the pen goes into the designer beach bag (can you stand it?) and the heat expands the puncture, oooohhhh, the horror of a ruined lining! Mini M&Ms in Advil bottles. When the Shes ask if I might happen to have anything for a headache, because they think I’m so nice after I gave them the pens, I’ll give them some tan M&Ms for Advil. Whereupon, sugar will enter their bodies and suddenly, their bodies, sensing the possibility of nutrients, will call out for more. I’ll try to time it so they get the “Advil” just as the ice cream truck comes by. They will be bidding wars for Toasted Almond ice cream pops. Ahhh, I love it when a plan comes together.

dizzy from these numbers being bandied about — was the East Hampton Town Supervisor, Bill McGintee. He went to the Town Board and explained the situation and said he thought that most of these houses, at least temporarily, could be brought to the ten-acre front lawn of Town Hall and then could be given out from there. But at least the property would be cleared. The Town Board agreed with this idea, it was presented to the couple and they accepted. And so it was that I got invited to a party, a final party at the home of Adelaide de Menil and Ted Carpenter, in celebration of the latest book written by adventurer and author Peter Matthessein of Sagaponack. Chris and I had champagne in the main barn that had been converted to a studio living room, we walked the property, we thanked Ted and Adelaide for inviting us and we thought about what was to come. Today, the couple has moved off this property to another smaller home not too far away. Six of those buildings are now on the front lawn of the Town Hall and are to be moved no further. Architects from the firm of A. M. Stern have designed a plan to make these homes an integral part of Town Hall. One will be a supervisor’s office, another a meeting room, another a councilmen’s room and so forth and so on. Glass causeways will connect them. The new main entrance to the Town Hall will be in one of them. And behind these buildings, the current town hall, a very nondescript brick building with a flat roof, will simply become an

Adelaide and Ted

addition to what is out front. The remaining half dozen buildings have also found new homes. One has already been brought to the historic park in Amagansett to be part of the Miss Amelia complex. Another has also been moved and now is at the Mulford Farm in East Hampton, opposite the green. Another is to be moved to a site behind a church in Springs. And still another is to be moved to the Town Marine Museum on Bluff Road in Amagansett. One would suppose that Adelaide de Menil

and Ted Carpenter would be quite sad at the end of their time on this property. But when you think about it, in the end, that is what happens to all of us. We move on. What we leave behind gets picked over or thrown out. There are new beginnings. During the moving of the six homes from the property to Town Hall in late March — a project that was done all at one time on one particular day — Adelaide was to be seen everywhere along the way, wearing a distinctive black greatcoat and hat, asking about this and that, noting obstacles and opportunities and essentially getting herself in harm’s way to backseat drive the move by Davis House Movers the four miles from the property to Town Hall. Ted was there too, but he just stood there for the most part off to one side, his hands clasped behind him, looking out grandly as events, orchestrated by his wife, unfolded in front of him. I did speak to her then and she was in a cheerful, excited mood and was flushed with excitement as the day progressed. A helicopter hovering overhead was up there, she said, so her nephew could take moving pictures of the event for posterity. He was up there almost all day. The cost of moving all of these homes, which surely must have been a million dollars or more, was paid for by Adelaide and Ted. In addition, Adelaide and Ted are contributing $2 million toward an endowment that would provide for the future upkeep of the ones at Town (continued on page 50)

well-preserved, with their herb gardens and old orchards, that it seems almost like a family is still living there. Another example of a gorgeous old home that, instead of giving way to modernity has gone the way of historical preservation, is the Albert Rogers Mansion. This home was built in 1843 by Albert Rogers, a local whaling captain, in the heyday of the whaling industry. It is located at 17 Meeting House Lane in Southampton. Today, the mansion is home to the Southampton Historical Museum. It has been functioning since 1898 to collect and preserve documents and artifacts that contribute to Southampton’s history. The museum is a complex of buildings that recreate the area in the postCivil War era. There is a one-room schoolhouse, a paint shop, a blacksmith shop, and other small shops that capture the essence of small-town life in Southampton. Since long before English settlers arrived in Southampton, people thrived on the natural bounty of the area. The Shinnecocks, as well as other Native American tribes, lived here for thousands of years. Even though only a few hundred Shinnecocks still live on the reservation, their history is a significant part of Southampton’s culture. When Thomas Halsey arrived with that first crew of English settlers, Shinnecocks met them and taught them how to

Parrish Art Museum Main Entrance, 1913

live off the land. They taught them about local foods like corn and traditions like whaling. Without these lessons, the settlers would not have survived long. The Shinnecock Nation Cultural Center and Museum only just recently opened its doors to the public. In 2001, they hosted “A Walk With the People,” when everyone was invited onto the reservation. The museum, which is the only one owned and operated by Native Americans on Long Island, houses artifacts from the Shinnecocks’ whaling history in its traditional longhouse building.

Exhibits about their cultural history give insight into the development of English settlers as well. The Parrish Art Museum stands in downtown Southampton with an air of authority. It was built in 1898 in an Italianate style by Samuel Parrish. Parrish, originally from Philadelphia, had recently moved to New York. He began visiting a family summer home in Southampton, which had already become a popular resort town. Parrish quickly became invested in the development of Southampton. In the 1880s, Parrish began collecting art seriously. In the late 1880s, this civic-minded collector had just returned to Long Island from a trip to Italy, where he fell in love with Italian Renaissance painters. His hope was to “fulfill my attempt to transplant to a small, once Puritan village on the eastern end of Long Island a delicate exotic in the form of an artistic collection that would express at least something of the spirit of the Italian Renaissance.” The museum was designed by architect Grosvenor Atterbury over the period of about 20 years. Southampton has a beauty about it that is at once rustic and refined. The combination of respect for history and love of progress has made it what it is today — a beautiful, modern town thriving in the 21st century, with a touch of history that just won’t fade.

Stavola get through the fourth inning jam with a crowd of almost 250 fans looking on. The intensity might have rattled other pitchers, but not Stavola. “I like being in pressure situations,” Stavola said. “You get such an adrenaline rush. I never get scared or nervous. I want to strike batters out for my team.” All that was going through the junior’s head during the nail biting fourth inning. “Just get the out. Take one pitch at a time.” The momentum continued to swing in East Hampton’s favor. With one out in the bottom of the fifth, O’Brien hit a blooper over the second baseman’s head and slid into second with a double. Danielle Waleko took over on the base paths for O’Brien. The next two Bonackers’ hitters got hit by a pitch and struck out, respectively. Marta Johann came in to pinch hit with two outs and runners on first and second. Coach Lou Reale then called for a double steal. The Panthers’ catcher wasn’t able to get a throw off with the right hand hitting Johann in the batters box. The Bonackers’ runners advanced to second and third. The stage was now set and Johann delivered with a RBI single through the right side, putting East Hampton on top 1-0. “We put [Johann] up there to pinch hit because we had a hunch she’d get a hit,” Reale

Jessie at work

said. “We just wanted to be aggressive and get the runners in scoring position and it worked.” One run was all Stavola and the East Hampton Bonackers would need. Stavola retired Miller Place’s seven, eight and nine hitters in order to end the game. Stavola’s last out came via strikeout, her tenth on the day and 299th in 148 innings pitched. She ended the game with a one-hitter, having giving up five walks and hitting one batter. Doolin was once again the bad-luck-losing-

pitcher. In three games against East Hampton, Doolin lost all of them while only giving up four total runs. The No.1 East Hampton Bonackers (21-1) will play its nemesis, according to Reale — sixth seeded Islip in the best-of-three Suffolk Class A Finals. But East Hampton may not have been advancing past the semifinals had it not been for the protective mandatory cages on the hitters helmets. In the bottom of the fourth inning Stavola fouled a ball off of her mask. She was able to shake it off, finishing the at bat and the inning with a ground out to short. “Thank God for that cage,” Stavola said. Reale said that East Hampton wasn’t as lucky in the pre-facemask softball days as players were occasionally injured. “In the past we had a girl who broke her nose in the playoffs,” Reale said. “[Stavola] would’ve been out with a broken nose.” Fortunately, the modest seventeen-year-old pitcher finished the game with a little ache and pain, immediately putting an ice wrap around her right arm after the outing. Asked how she stays grounded with all of her success, Stavola replied, “I always believe there’s going to be someone out there who’s better than you. To me, the team is so much more important.”

Whispers With Gina Glickman THE WHITEHOUSE HAS A NEW PRESIDENT There’s a new White House in town, and it’s not in Washington D.C., it’s in Hampton Bays! Say “Hello” to your new President, radio personality and entrepreneur, Vic Latino. Vic is the new co-owner with his longtime partner Joe D’Onofrio, of the 100+ year-old massive space that was CPI and now Latino and crew have transformed the historical space into a 45,000-square-foot, sleek, late night pleasure zone called, The Whitehouse Nightclub. The ginormous venue was completely gutted and renovated with two dance floors, two DJs, an all-night shopping boutique that houses a vast array of shoes from Hampton Shoe Vixen and Sweet Anezka’s Lingerie, a sophisticated Lingerie shop that carries designers like La Perla and Cosabella. The club also houses two restaurants including a full sushi bar and

gourmet pizzeria. Vic was adamant when he told me, “I want everyone to feel like a celebrity in here!” Latino is certainly qualified for the job. Born and bred on Long Island, Latino grew up in Holbrook and graduated from Sachem High School and SUNY Plattsburgh. He’s paid his dues on air, having completed a successful six-year run that ended in November of ’06, as 103.5 WKTU’s late night jock, and now reigning on XM Satellite, Channel 81. Latino is involved in several projects including part owner of Mateo’s Restaurant. Yet, Latino is so dedicated to his latest club venture out East, that this past Memorial Day weekend he even put his family to work, including his sister, Melissa, brother, Jason and Dad, Jose, who were all right by his side. The WH celebrated it’s grand opening this past holiday weekend and delivered some big talent to the Hamptons, thanks to Latino’s friends, who happen to be famous. This past Saturday evening was hosted by “Girl Next Door” TV reality star, Kendra Wilkinson. Sunday, the club was even more packed and partygoers lined up in droves to celebrate. At 11:30 p.m., Latino turned to his staff and gave a signal, “I’m on my way out to pick her up.” The “her” Latino was referring to (continued on the next page)

is none other than Ms. Stacy Ann Ferguson, a.k.a. Fergie from The BEPs, who’s been a friend of his for many years. At 12:30 a.m., Fergie busted through the front doors of the club rock star style, surrounded by an entourage of at least twenty people consisting of her bodyguards, friends and family. The nearby clubbers went wild as they spotted The Dutchess, who was blowing kisses and signing autographs. Dressed in all black, Fergie was sportin’ her signature hairstyle, long honey blonde spiral curls parted in the middle, and shared, “I had a nice Memorial Day barbecue today, turkey burgers, turkey franks, potato salad, the whole nine.” The petite superstar worked the crowd with ease, posing for photos and in a relaxed, soft voice, almost a whisper, told me, “I just came here to hang out for a day. We’re passing through on my tour and we have a day off, it’s Memorial Day weekend and when you’re near the Hamptons, you kinda just wanna go.” Fergie smiled and went on, “Cause I can get into the parties now, alright? I don’t have to wait on the line, yeah!” Fergie certainly doesn’t wait on lines anymore, now they line up to just get a glimpse of the humble artist who can certainly afford couture, but still keeps it real by shopping at second hand stores, “I love shopping. This tour, we’ll go to thrift shops in every city. I got about twenty tee shirts in Philly.” 1:15 p.m., the Dutchess was escorted to the Celebrity VIP level, which is directly across from the VIP area and overlooks the dance floor. The Dutchess settled into her first class

Hall. The work of art? Well, I’d like to consider it as a sort of performance art, a ballet of bringing all these houses over to the property at the beginning of a time when so many historic buildings were being torn down in the name of progress. And ending with the ballet of bringing all these buildings back for the public to see. When Adelaide and Ted look back upon it, that all by itself is their legacy. They borrowed some houses and they returned them. There will be no historic markers to indicate where these houses once stood in this town. There will be the houses themselves, on other sites

perhaps — many colonial homes have been moved half a dozen times over the years — and these homes will be available for Ted and Adelaide to visit, cherish and help maintain. As for what was there, well, it is now utterly gone, finally and no doubt about it. But what a legacy. For Ted and Adelaide, it is a new day. As for what will happen to the property, well, Ron Baron won the property at a price of $105 million, an amount about three times as much as the highest price ever paid for a home in the Hamptons. The parcel is clear. The slate is clean. And another new day begins. •

JULIAGARDINER TYLER OFEASTHAMPTON, AMERICAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S1STLADY By T.J. Clemente The scenic South End Cemetery in East Hampton, nestled beside the pond, is the final resting place for many of those who played a large role in the making of the Town of East Hampton. The gentle layers of white tombstones line up generations of family history. Perhaps the most prominent family name is Gardiner, the founding of whose Island home, Gardiner Island, precedes the founding of the East Hampton, then called Maidstone, in 1648. In 1639 King James I issued a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Royal Patentâ&#x20AC;? to Lion Gardiner for the Island. At the time, Lion Gardiner referred to the island as the Isle of Wright. One of the largest grave markers in the South End Cemetery is that of David Gardiner, father of a first lady Julia Gardiner Tyler and perhaps the only deceased member in the famed cemetery whose untimely death was witnessed by a sitting President of the United States. He died aboard the PRINCETON, a precivil war era naval vessel that hosted the President of the United States, many cabinet members and 200 distinguished guests on February 28, 1844. David Gardiner had brought his 23-year-old daughter to Washington D.C. as a sort of coming out party on the national level for Julia, whose beauty was unmatched in the high social circles of that time. In fact, at that time, she was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rose of Long Island.â&#x20AC;? The legend is that Julia wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feeling well that day and went down below the deck, saving her own life. Had she remained right next to her father, then a New York State Senator with ample political powers and influence, she most likely would have been killed as he was by the explosion that resulted from the testing of a new twelve-inch gun manufactured in New York City. The explosion killed the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Navy, an ambassador from Brussels, the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal valet and a few others

besides David Gardiner. When told that her father had been killed, the young East Hampton debutante literally fainted into the arms of the widowed President Tyler. Julia Tyler said the first words she ever spoke to her future husband while in his arms, regaining her composure. Of course, other historians claimed they were introduced earlier in the day. A wake was held in the East Room of the White House for all those killed, except the black presidential valet. David Gardiner was buried in Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C. before being reburied in East Hampton. Only four months later, the widowed President Tyler, the first Vice-President to become President by the death of a sitting President, and Julia Gardiner were married. The country was shocked to learn that the widowed Virginian President of the United States had married a 24-year-old New Yorker. Julia Tyler loved having gala balls and it is said that one of her famous galas was attended by over 1,000 invited guests. After his brief Presidency, the Tylers resided in Richmond, Virginia. A house on Main Street was referred to as the East Hampton White House whenever President Tyler was there. At the time of his death in 1862, President Tyler was serving in

the Congress of the Confederacy in Richmond. Julia bore President Tyler seven children, who lived alongside the eight his first wife blessed him with. Julia and President Tylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first son was named David Gardiner Tyler, in honor of her dad, and was born in East Hampton. David Gardiner Tyler, after attending Washington College â&#x20AC;&#x201D; now called Washington and Lee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; actually fought for the Army of Virginia under Robert E. Lee in the Civil War and was with Lee when he surrendered to General U.S. Grant at the Appomattox Court House. David went on to serve as a United States Congressman from the state of Virginia in the 1890s and presided as a Judge in Virginia until his death in 1926. He his mother, Julia Gardiner Tyler, his father, President John Tyler, and President Tylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first wife are all buried in Richmond. After the Civil War, the widowed 46-year-old former first lady, Julia Gardiner, was broke after having her property confiscated by the North. She and Mary Todd Lincoln were the first First Ladies to have Congress appropriate a Federal Pension for widowed former First Ladies. The original sum was $1,200. It was increased to $5,000 later on to assist Julia Tyler plus the widows of President Garfield, President Polk and President Lincoln. Historians enjoy pointing out that when President Tylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last child died, it was 100 years after the birth of his first, Mary Tyler, who never truly adjusted to being four years older than her stepmother. With a $5,000 annual pension, Julia Gardiner Tyler, one of two first ladies born in East Hampton â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the other being Jackie Kennedy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lived comfortably in Richmond until she died in 1889, when she was not quite seventy years old. The former â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rose of Long Islandâ&#x20AC;? remains forever in Virginia, yet her impression on East Hampton persists to this day. Free Estimates

SAG HARBOR STORE AT 27 MAIN STREET IS SOLD By Janine Cheviot John Gruen’s plan to knock down a building located at 127 Main Street next to the historic “Gingerbread House” in Sag Harbor and replace it with a larger structure has been a controversial topic for the past three years. But on March 28, Mr. Gruen passed the baton to part-time Sag Harbor resident Jim Giorgio, selling him the one-story building for $1.5 million. Mr. Giorgio also owns the building located at 125 Main Street and a building on Bridge Street, where the bar Havens House used to be. Mr. Gruen never officially listed the house. He was sick of fighting with the town and offered Mr. Giorgio the property. “I knew he [Mr. Giorgio] owned the building next door and thought it would be a great opportunity for him. It was the right move.” According to his attorney, Dennis Downes, Mr. Giorgio will pick up where Mr. Gruen left off with plans for 127 Main Street, incorporating few modifications that have not yet been made public. But if his proposal to turn the one-story building on Bridge Street into a two-story Victorian-style house structure with retail space on the first floor and two apartments on the second are any indication of his plans for the 127 Main Street building, they will be almost identical to Mr. Gruen’s. As for now, the new female clothing store “Lifestyle” will occupy the building, offering casual apparel and accessories for all ages. Mr. Gruen told me that his original plans were initially “admired by many people, including those who eventually objected to them,” but that a few local residents, who were very involved in the Sag Harbor Historical Society, classified his proposal as a monstrosity and looked for every opportunity to stop the project. “I would have preferred to continue with my plans, but it wasn’t worth it,” said Gruen. “I didn’t

want to deal with it anymore.” Critics believed that Mr. Gruen’s proposed structure would appear “sandwiched” between the adjacent houses, even though his blueprints show that the building would occupy just 35 percent of the lot. Dolores Fenn, a long-time Sag Harbor resident who was arguably Mr. Gruen’s biggest opponent, owns the historical Gingerbread House located just east of 127 Main Street. Ms. Fenn hired Jeffrey Bragman, a lawyer from East Hampton, to fight Mr. Gruen’s proposal. Mr. Bragman explained, “We were fighting the construction of an oversized building that did not meet Sag Harbor Village parking requirements.” But Mr. Gruen disagrees. “I complied with all the parking regulations when I applied for the permits. They changed the regulations after I applied, so I was grandfathered in,” he explained. “The parking issue was never an issue at all. She [Ms. Fenn] didn’t want my project to happen because it would obscure the view from her living room.” He noted that his proposed structure was not out of scale with other buildings in Sag Harbor and would match the 19th century style that defines Main Street. How big is too big in Sag Harbor? The answer to that question appears to be subjective. I contacted The Village of Sag Harbor for specific information on their codes and standards, but an employee in the Building Department explained that Mr. Gruen’s requests were not necessarily denied because of particular violations. She confirmed that

Mr. Giorgio may not encounter the same problems — depending on factors such as what type of business he plans on using the building for. “Our department hasn’t received any applications from Mr. Giorgio, but these decisions are made on a case-by-case basis,” she said. Two weeks ago, just a month after Mr. Gruen sold his property to Mr. Giorgio, the Gingerbread House was put on the market for the first time in 43 years. Mr. Gruen referred to this as “a slap in the face.” The Gingerbread House will most likely be purchased for commercial use, but will always remain on the National Register of Historic Places. Mr. Bragman addressed the possibility of Mr. Giorgio proposing a structure similar to Mr. Gruen’s by saying, “The regulatory framework will remain the same no matter who owns the property. It will be the same dynamic. I hope that any future project will comply with parking and result in a much smaller building.” Mr. Gruen has been a Sag Harbor resident for over 30 years and says he never intended to compromise the historical integrity of the town. He just asked that both side of the issue be looked at fairly. “I live by the motto ‘you only live once’ and it’s time to move on,” he said. When asked if he would continue to purchase properties for commercial use, Mr. Gruen responded without hesitation, “Yes. Definitely.” As for the future of 127 Main Street, only time will tell. Perhaps Mr. Giorgio’s best bet is to purchase the Gingerbread House, too.

Dan’s North Fork

Ability Fair The Story Of A North Fork Family Doing Some Good In The World By Phyllis Lombardi There’s got to be at least a hundred of them every year on the North Fork. You know. The art and crafts fairs that spring up all over the place. In schools, parks, firehouses, churches, on a village green or in a retirement community. And the stuff for sale is usually just beautiful. Watercolor paintings of our bays and creeks, oil portraits, carefully stitched quilts, all kinds of hand-crafted toys and decorative pieces. Why, people come from all over Long Island and beyond to visit our fairs - and perhaps purchase a remembrance of their day here. You should see the cars! They’re everywhere. Though North Forkers are used to it. As I said, it’s been going on for years. But this year? Just a few weeks ago something different in the world of art and crafts fairs came to our North Fork. Something new and very wonderful. It came quietly, steadily, guided by a devoted and dedicated couple, Linda and Mike Burke of Mattituck. They are devoted and dedicated to each other and their family, of course, but also to a kind of cause that took shape in their hearts and minds almost 19 years ago. I want to tell you about it. Those 19 years ago, Linda and Mike had a young son attending a school for the developmentally disabled. He was doing well in his classes but his parents were concerned about the difficulties the young people had in establishing and maintaining friendships. The students traveled from all over the North Fork to their school on the South Fork. Not easy to get together with their friends after school or during summer vacations. Linda and Mike, along with some other parents at the school, came up with what has proven a fine solution – Friends Unlimited. This is a congenial organi-

zation whose goal is to provide picnics, ball games, trips near and far, parties – you name it. It’s spelled fun and good times for the developmentally disabled. For 19 years! Now what does this have to do with art and crafts? Well, Linda had an idea (another one – she’s full of ’em). Why not have a couple of days set aside for those developmentally disabled who have art and crafts talent and show their creativity to the world? Fine, Linda. But where? Well Linda is a member of the Old Town Art and Crafts Guild in Cutchogue so she approached New Suffolk’s Bob Kuhne, president of the Guild, with her idea. Bob said yes, yes, yes. The Guild offered its building for the fair and Linda and Mike got to work. And it came to pass. First the name: Ability Fair. Then the opening reception on a Saturday evening saw the Guild parking lot crowded, the Guild’s display rooms filled with fine art and crafts, scores of proud relatives and friends admiring the work and enjoying wine, cheese, cider, cookies. All the while the

artists and craftspeople accepted handshakes and hugs for their magnificent accomplishments. Firstplace ribbons were awarded, lots of photographs were taken. The last photo, a group shot, brought loud and long applause from the fairgoers. The next day, Sunday, the fair re-opened to sunny skies and many visitors. Oh, there was something else different about this art and crafts fair. Nothing was for sale. Everything was just because. Everything? I can tell you only some of what I saw. How I wish you were there. On one wall hung two hooked rugs – floral pastels by David Woodward of Southold. On another wall was fine framed photography. For example, Mattituck’s Chris Burke had a super shot of Veterans Park in Mattituck. Dennis Healy of Greenport displayed his photography as did Cheryl Gromcki of Southold. Outstanding was her collage of photos of the TWA Flight 800 Memorial in Shirley. . Gerard McEneaney of Greenport talked just a little of his work. Rather, he talked baseball. Gerard’s brother Jimmy works at Shea Stadium so Gerard gets to quite a few games. And Gerard is going to the Bahamas with Jimmy and his family. How about a one-man show on that cruise ship, Gerard? Susan Gannon, 19, of Cutchogue, really caught my eye with her dolphin needlepoint pillow and her wood-board rocking horse ridden by papier-mââchéé Emily. Susan named the rider Emily after a favorite teacher. Yes, this Ability Fair was a thing of beauty, a joy forever. Linda and Mike plan to do it again next year. This may sound foolish but I’m going to suggest they consider changing the name – from Ability Fair to Ability Great.

The Beach Glass Mystery Is It Possible To Track Down The Origin Of Beach Glass? By Nancy Keeshan As a child I spent many a lazy Saturday afternoon combing the seashore for treasures. I found numerous shells of all shapes and sizes, pieces of driftwood and from time to time a precious piece of beach glass. This was the ultimate treasure because the colors were always so beautifully frosted and there was always a bit of mystery about where it came from. Throughout the years I have collected many pieces of colored glass from the seashore and kept them in a glass jar. I continue to stop and pick up glass on the beach when I have the time. Most of these glass pieces lately are green, white, and brown. Occasionally I find a blue piece or even red. This is of course a “banner day” at the beach. The other day while taking one of my walks along the sea, I came upon a tiny piece of orange beach glass. I started thinking about sea glass. What is the story about beach glass? The sea manages to turn unwanted pieces of broken glass into beautifully rounded frosted jewels. What is this glass in the first place, how is it formed, and where does it really come from? These questions rolling around my head made me think that it was all worth checking out. Here are a few interesting things that I discovered. Sea glass, beach glass, mermaid tears, or lucky glass; It goes by many names, but is made the very same way. Whether it began as a discarded bottle or an amazing glass relic from long ago, sea glass begins as regular glass. Sooner or later it gets tossed into the sea, tumbled by the ocean waves, and transformed by

the sand, surf and salt water into the treasure which is washed up along the shore Maybe it was someone’s discarded coke bottle, or perhaps it came from an old shipwreck. It’s interesting to think about where these bits of glass came from in the first place. Where on earth did it start its journey? The fact is that wherever you find people living near the sea, you will find beach glass and sometimes the story that it brings with it. Scientists say that it takes a minimum of three years for the ocean to wear glass down to the point where it can officially be called beach glass. There are different kinds as well. “Rounds” are what remain from the bottom of old bottles. Some people collect these rounds and make wind chimes out them. Other pieces of beach glass are still imprinted with brand names and unique patterns and some glass is campfire glass which is basically glass that has been melted in a fire and smooth down by the ocean. The most common beach glass is simply rounded out shards of something we can’t quite recognize anymore. It’s fun to speculate about what they use to be. These small shards of tumbled glass are the ones often used for jewelry or in making colorful glass mosaics. I often wonder why I don’t find the quantity of beach glass as I used to when I was a kid. This is probably because glass is no longer used as it was in the past. Before the 1960s, everything came in glass bottles and jars, even milk. Today plastic has replaced most of the glass we use every day. People also used to throw a great deal of their household trash into the ocean,

thinking that it would simply just disappear. We know better today. People are aware of pollution and are more informed about protecting our environment. Since recycling glass is such a popular idea, sea glass is becoming harder and harder to find. Beach glass is found along shorelines, even rivers and bays. What about the color of the glass? Can that give us any clues? The color of the glass always determines it’s origin. Red is the rarest of beach glass. Long ago red glass was made using a mixture of copper and gold. It was for that reason that many people could not afford the beautiful garnet reds in their collections. Today, you might be lucky enough to find a small piece of red glass. These bits of modern beach glass are often called “Riptide Rubies.” Often the origin is a broken car brake light or boat light. There are so many different colors. Depression glass is responsible for the light blues and pastel colors. Old medicine bottles and beer bottles are the brown and amber pieces. Clear glass may come from anything in recent years including shampoo bottles to milk bottles. However, clear glass that was produced before the year 1914 would have been made with manganese, with turns a purple color when exposed to ultraviolet rays. So, if you manage to find a little piece of purple glass, it could be very old glass which was once clear. If you find a dark olive-green glass it could very well be what was known as “black glass” which was produced with amounts of iron and used for soda bottles (continued on the next page)

McKnights Benefit Greenport Residents Rise Up To Help A Neighbor In Need By Jessica Gold On June 8th a bbq/dance will be held to benefit Phillip McKnight and family at Mitchell Field from 7-10 p.m. All proceeds will go to helping the McKnights pay medical bills. The jazzy/blues band The Lone Sharks have volunteered to perform. This talented foursome will be performing, getting the crowd moving and letting the McKnights know that there are people out there who care. A committee formed to help out the McKnights and as a result, everything and anything needed for this fundraiser has been taking

care of in true, North Fork form. Don Fisher of Southold donated his sound system, the Greenport Fire Department is grilling hot dogs and hamburgers. In case of rain, the Burton Potter American Legion Post has even offered its hall (charging only for electricity if used). There will be a “pass the hat” at the dance in hopes of collecting enough to get the McKnights covered until Phillip is officially retired. Thus far $3,470,10 has been collected to defer some costs. Here’s hoping that the hat is filled and the McKnights can have life be just a bit easier for

them. All of us at some time or another need to rely on friends for help. Phillip Mcknight is lucky to be surrounded by some of the best friends on Long Island. In April 2006, McKnight, the father of 5 beautiful children, was diagnosed with a Sarcoma Tumor and is currently undergoing treatment. Unfortunately, illness and keeping his job just didn’t match and McKnight soon found himself too ill to work and without health benefits for many months. Although his health benefits have since been re-instated by Greenport Village, he is still responsible for a very large co-pay of $700 per month to maintain coverage until he can qualify for Medicare and retirement benefits. Unable to currently work, his family is truly struggling to stay afloat. Loretta McKnight is caring for her sick husband, maintaining consistency for the 5 caring children and working three days a week as a nurses aide. She is hoping to increase it to four to help with expenses and secure additional benefits. This struggling, caring family needs support. Phillip and Loretta are well respected and have done so much for the community, now the community wants to give back. If you’d like to make a donation, please send checks to Checks should be sent to First Universalist Church, P.O. Box 221, Southold, N.Y. 11971. Please make checks payable to The Friends of Phillip McKnight fund, your donation is tax deductible. The McKnights have expressed their sincerest gratitude to the community for their help.

It represents a time in history whether just five years ago or twenty-five years ago. Everyone has their favorite color of beach glass, as well as their favorite section of beach to comb. This time of year, before the crowds get here, is a great time to find beach treasures, especially glass. Look for places that get a lot of wave action and you should be in luck.

Monstrosity A Writer’s View Of The Broadwater Plan By T.J. Clemente It truly comes down to concerns for public safety verses a corporation’s view of a way to make a profit, while at the same time addressing its perception of the energy needs of the local area. The Broadwater Energy project which we all know plans to build the liquefied natural gas port in the middle of the Long Island Sound that will perhaps change forever the tenor of the Sound for exclusive energy needs and services well as profits for Shell Oil and TransCanada is troubling. Local political leaders such as Marc Alessi (d) of Manor Park, Fred Thiele (r) of Sag Harbor, and Ken LaValle (r) of Port Jefferson have introduced legislation in the State Legislature to study the cost to the local communities. It seems Broadwater Energy officials are losing patience with the opposition to their plan to turn Long Island Sound into their own private profit center. Trying to take advantage of the energy crisis to slickly slide this adventurous plan with so many environmental concerns is beginning to reach critical mass. There is no doubt the well-financed aims of the oil interest is looking to get a foothold on off shore platforms in this area. Their deep pockets have been used to “educate” public officials to see things their way for the public good. As the project becomes more known to the public the tide may be turning against any public support for this project. The ambitions of

the Broadwater Energy planners have hardened. Memories of the Exxon Valdez need to be revisited to remind us what could eventually go wrong when huge tankers are used on a day to day basis in the private sector. And with liquefied natural gas, what price are the Broadwater Energy people willing to pay? What about the Sound itself? The public officials of the affected area have a responsibility to investigate every potential danger and the ramifications that may occur. The corporate planners will get the bonuses and the profits the Long Island Sound will get the pollution and the environmental impact of the large scale commercial activities. The proposed study commission would consist of the county executives of Westchester, Suffolk, and Nassau, the assessors of the counties plus other

appointed officials, with the idea to study the Broadwater Plan and its impacts in the greatest detail possible. All aspects are to be reviewed. Emergency responder capabilities, protection from terrorism capabilities, weather related problems and impact to existing industries like boating, fishing and tourism. Long Island Sound is not some unknown fish hole. It is lined with the some of the most exclusive real estate in the world. To have a corporation muscle in to have a profitable foothold on a newly created monopoly is a very daring and creative plan. The question is how many of the original creators of the Broadwater Energy proposal are life long residents of the affected area? Are their first responsibilities to the profits of foreign corporations, and do they report first to the officers of these foreign corporations? The risk is on the people who will live in the affected communities even with a successful venture and, God forbid, a disaster. That is why prudence upon prudence in studying the impact to New York State counties by the representatives of the counties is imperative and wise. There cannot be a rush to judgment on whether or not this project moves forward. At risk is the way of life as we know it. The positive is at best a short-term band aid on energy needs while making profits to an industry that is in the process or redefining the ceiling of corporate profits using the energy crisis as its cover.

Art And Habitat For Humanity deCordova Studio & Gallery Looks To Bring Awareness To Charity By Marisa DeMarco Mother Teresa said, “Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in that action.” This statement can be applied to the individuals involved with Habitat For Humanity. Habitat For Humanity International is a nonprofit organization that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, in the creation of decent shelter through conscience and action. In hope to support and bring about awareness regarding both Habitat For Humanity of Peconic and Suffolk, deCordova Studio & Gallery presents a charitable exhibition, “Habitats,” from May 26 through June 24, featuring diverse works of sixteen artists. deCordova Studio & Gallery goes beyond the scope of celebrating works of art and focuses to promote causes on the East End. Established by Hector and Joyce deCordova in August 2006, the gallery presents artists of quality. Additionally, the husband and wife team believe it’s crucial to have a strong sense of community involvement. Joyce deCordova commends Habitat For Humanity on the East End as the organizations not only construct homes for those in need, but continue to provide support and counseling—as an ongoing commitment. Fortunate to have an outpouring of artists, “Habitats” exhibition provides a diverse showing of works including oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings, and digital photography. deCordova explains, “There is a broad range of subject matter. Being that people have diverse taste, there’s something for everyone.” Expect to see landscapes, florals, portraits, and scenes of the East End, along with works that evoke emotion. A curatorial “theme” was eliminated for this exhibition, as the artists were able to create works of their choosing. Unable to pinpoint a specific exhibition highlight, deCordova expresses sincere respect for the exhibiting artists and their works of passion. “We have a lot here, it’s all so wonderful. One piece that makes me happy is a painting by Josef Head. It looks like a Botero—it’s of a bride, heavy and distorted, and entitled, I’m Getting A Little Too Old For This Sort of Thing.” deCordova also references the beauty of Helen Gioquinto’s watercolors and Tom Steele’s emotional photography. As for the proceeds of the benefit, 40% of the sale goes to the artist, 30% to the gallery, and 30% to Habitat For Humanity. The artists thoughtfully priced the artwork, ranging from $200 - $1,200 for the cause. With various payment options, MasterCard and Visa are accepted along with cash and check. Equally, donations for Habitat For Humanity are greatly appreciated. deCordova remarks, “What are we here for if we can’t give back? My life would be empty.” We should all take this idea to heart and come out to

support the “Habitats” exhibition. Let’s open our hearts, minds, and wallets to help others while enjoying the powerful impact of art. deCordova Studio & Gallery is open to the public sans entrance fee Friday, 3-7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12 – 6 p.m. It’s located at 538 Main Street in Greenport on the beautiful North Fork.

Dan’s North Fork If you sat down to write a menu for a great meal it probably would go something like this. Take a dining room with great ambience and beautiful views, blend with friendly and efficient service. Add food expertly prepared from the freshest ingredients and plated to provide visual as well as taste pleasures. This recipe, somewhat imperfectly, sums up the experiences we have always enjoyed at Stonewalls over the last four years that it has been open with Guy Peuch as the the Executive Chef. The dining room is the epitome of casual elegance, the views over the impeccably groomed golf course are stunning, and the service matches the very high quality of Guy’s cuisine. Tom Connor has been at Stonewalls since it opened, and has progressed from starting as a waiter to now being the Restaurant Manager, a great example of the rewards of hard work and enthusiasm. He went through the tasting menu that Guy had select-

Stonewalls Restaurant The Woods Golf Course 967 Reeves Avenue Riverhead 631-506-0777 ed for us. After a taster of one of Guy’s famed crab cakes, here served as an amuse, we started with BilliBi, a classic Breton mussel soup. This soup was to die for! Plump mussels in a saffron cream sauce that immediately reminded us of Guy’s expertise as a saucier. The texture and flavor of the soup was enough to make us amateur cooks gnash our teeth and wonder at its simple perfection. If this is on the menu then go for it and savor a wonderful culinary experience. Asparagus from Wells

Farm here on Long Island had a depth of taste that you never get in store bought vegetables and the stuffed homemade Mozzarella I am sure was extremely good but I have to admit to not being a lover of this cheese. The soft shell crab came beautifully wrapped in a wafer thin crepe, and if you have ever tried to make crepes you will understand the degree of difficulty in doing this. Another example of the gulf between a top chef and amateurs! Then came, for me, probably the highlight of the evening. A superb piece of halibut with a crispy tangy mustard hazelnut crust served with a Mediterranean style méélange of lima beans and black olives, paired with perfect whipped mashed potatoes - an incredible blend of tastes with nothing overwhelming the inherent delicacy and purity of the fish. For the meat dishes, we sampled perfectly cooked juicy lamb chops that came with pommes gaufrettes,

delicate lattice cut deep fried potatoes that for a potato lover like me were totally addictive. If Guy wants a sideline I would suggest he bags them and offers them for sale. Duck breast with a delicate pepper sauce arrived cooked to perfection accompanied by fingerling potatoes and shitake mushrooms. This was another dish that I would look forward to ordering again. When it came to dessert, we saw again the virtues of simplicity. A warm chocolate tart was smooth and not excessive and the poached Bosc pear in vanilla syrup with maple syrup gelato and caramel sauce was a perfect end to a great meal. During the evening we tasted some of the wines available by the glass and they were uniformly extremely good quality and well priced. These are wines that do full justice to the quality of the food, for example the newly added 2003 Chateau Heyrauds Bordeaux, the Jamesport Sauvignon Blanc and thee Domaine D’Oliver Chardonnay from the Languedoc region of France all complemented the dishes extremely well. Stonewalls is open for lunch and dinner every day except they are closed for dinner on Tuesday. On Sunday they offer a served brunch for $24.75, including a glass of wine. A prix fixe lunch for $18 is available Monday through Saturday and the prix fixe dinner at $29.50 on Wednesday through Monday. Going back to my opening points about the needed ingredients for a perfect meal, it is hard to fault Stonewalls in any respect. Guy Peuch puts so much care and devotion into preparing dishes that are classically correct and beautifully plated. Do not look for fusion style cuisine here. This is classic French cuisine that is not heavy but which produces such beautiful tastes that you will continue to enthuse about your meal long after you have returned home - just as we did. Stonewalls rates as one of the very best restaurants on Long Island. If you love really good food this must be one of your top choices. Four years old and going strong - with many more great years ahead. -Roy Bradbrook

Dan’s North Fork OVER

THE BARREL...

with Lenn Thompson

Impressions from Brooklyn Uncorked You probably missed it, but on May 16, our local wines invaded Brooklyn. “Brooklyn Uncorked,” organized by the Long Island Wine Council, Edible East End and Edible Brooklyn, offered Brooklynites (and Manhattanites really) the unrivaled—and long overdue—chance to taste Long Island wines without trudging out to the East End. Thirty-plus wineries and a few other vendors descended on the Brooklyn Academy of Muic’s BAMcafe for a walk-around tasting event. I was lucky enough to attend the press and trade portion of the event. The crowd wasn’t huge, but it was steady and it seemed like people were really enjoying the wines in general. I didn’t stick around for the public portion, but I’ve heard that it got pretty crowded, but that attendees were even more interested in the wines than the ‘professionals’ which, in the end, is all that matters right. Long Island wineries need to reach the end consumer first and foremost. Overall, it can only be considered a successful event and here are some impression I came away with—both good and bad. There just wasn’t enough food available. The size of BAMcafe, may be been a constraint here, but when people are tasting a couple hundred wines in just a couple of hours, having a little cheese, some just-shucked oysters and some wine sorbet (more on that in a moment) just isn’t enough. I’m not suggesting that this turn into the old Windows on Long Island event in Manhattan where the winery-torestaurant ratio was nearly one to one, but a little

Calendar

more sustenance would have gone a long way—especially given the quality of the restaurants and food vendors in Brooklyn. You’ve got to try Wine Cellar Sorbets. Until this event, I had only just heard about this Brooklynbased dessert maker. They use real wine—riesling from the Hudson Valley, California Cabernet Sauvignon and Spanish Rioja, among others—to create what they call “The Adult Dessert for Sophisticatd Palates.” My favorites were the Riesling

and the Sangria Rojo. Serve the rose, Riesling or pinot noir flavors at your next “local” dinner party. All three are made with New York state wine. For more information, to order online and to find a local retailer, visit www.winecellarsorbet.com More wineries should have poured their best wines. I was surprised that a couple wineries didn’t participate at all, but was even more surprised—and disappointed—that some of the wineries in attendance didn’t pour many, if any, of their best bottles. I understand that wine costs money, but these types of events—which don’t happen more than once or twice a year—are our region’s best chance to “hook” new palates on the wines. Don’t show up with just your second-label wines. Bring your best and really represent the region as best you can. Long Island wine still impressed. In no particular order, these wines the 2005 merlots from Bedell Cellars, the 2006 Scuttlehole Chardonnay and 2006 Rosati di Merlot from Channing Daughters Winery, Macari Vineyard’s 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Paumanok’s always-great 2006 Semi-Dry Riesling, Scarola Vineyards’ 2004 Chardonnay, both the 2006 Sauvignon Blanc and 2004 Cabernet Franc from Jamesport Vineyards, Waters Crest Winery’s 2004 Merlot Reserve, and Shinn Estate Vineyard’s Rose and First Fruit stood out for me on this night. Hopefully Brooklyn Uncorked becomes an annual event...maybe in a bigger space (the event sold out easily) with more vittles next year. Long Island needs events like these to start dominating its own back yard.

DAN’S TRAVELS Cowgirl Up! If you have been following this column for the past couple of weeks, you might have surmised that the horse I ride is not quite the 17.3hh Warmblood jumper usually spotted at the local shows. At just over 15hh – with shoes on – my little Tobiano paint, Oreo, could pass for a large pony and sports an eight-inch brand on his flank that looks like a “G” with a Texas Longhorn rack attached to it. He’s as fast as a thoroughbred and can turn on a dime – he never stumbles or slips, but unlike most jumpers, when you relax back in the saddle, he goes even faster, practically breaking the sound barrier as he tries to shorten his stride so he can go as fast as he wants and still fit in the strides that I want in between fences. If you haven’t already guessed it, Oreo is not a seasoned jumper. He is, in fact, a crossover from the West. For the past eight years, Oreo spent his days racing around barrels, learning how to turn on a dime without losing speed and drop his shoulder to avoid falling over while spinning around barrels at a breakneck pace. So how does such a neat little barrel racer like Oreo find himself on Long Island? The answer is, of course, a horse dealer. However, there’s more to it than that. Although the Hunter/Jumper, Dressage and Polo scenes have taken over the Hamptons horse scene, there is a legion of Western riders out here, barrel racing, team penning and living it up, cowgirl style. Once I learned Oreo’s background, I wanted to know more. The National Barrel Horse Association has a great website, www.NBHA.com, with all the information a city slicker like me needs to figure out whether barrel racing is something I’d like to watch or compete

TAKE

John Virgilio and I have been leading hikes in The Sarnoff Preserve every first and third Saturday of the month since last winter. The first couple weeks of spring were cold and damp. The buds on the trees refused to open and the ground was moist and soft underfoot. Then, suddenly, the temperature shot up, rain stopped falling, buds burst open and the ground dried up. Last week, it hadn’t rained for a week and it was 25 degrees warmer. John and I found ourselves in a much changed woods. It was normal to see some plants with brand new leaves already wilting when it had rained heavily only a week ago – the thin layer of Pine Barrens soil atop sand doesn’t hold moisture well. What was odd was that many of the oak trees had failed to sprout leaves, and, in many places, where the brush layer should be thriving because of the missing canopy, it had not leafed-out. We parked at the Spinney Road Parking area off Route 24 in Flanders and followed the faded yellow blazes from behind the kiosk to Owl Pond. At the Pond the yellow trail forms a T intersection with the Paumanok Path. We turned to the right, east, towards Maple Swamp and Pleasure Drive. We were refreshing the much-faded white rectangular PP blazes with paint. As we moved away from the wetlands near Owl Pond, we began to notice that many of the trees with the faded blazes were dead. This is strange. Normally you don’t paint blazes on dead trees because they won’t be there long. Looking up at the canopy, the few trees that had recently leafed-out bore mute testimony to the surrounding devastation. Perhaps several years of heavy gypsy moth and oak worm infestation have caused the die-off. The pitch pine trees are thriving. In fact, many of the oak trees that survived are surrounded by pine trees. The trail crackles underfoot and in many places, there was no canopy to protect us from the sun. During the early spring John and I had

in. Judging from the pictures, the fact that Oreo is absolutely gorgeous is not surprising. More streamlined and athletic than other Western horses, the best barrel racers are lean, glossy and rippling with muscles. The horses are usually Paints, Arabians or Quarter horses, but all breeds are welcome to compete in open classes. Both men and women compete in barrel racing and most races have a purse (yes, they actually pay you for winning, even at the lowest amateur levels). The course is always the same – three, 55pound closed-top barrels are arranged in a triangular pattern in the ring, called a “cloverleaf,” with sstandard distances between barrels. Riders choose whether to circle around the right or left barrel first and proceed through the course as quickly as possible. There are no judges to impress, only the crowd and the clock. Similar to jumping, penalty points are given when a horse hits or tips over a barrel. Like other competitive horse sports, a barrel racing team must be in tune with each other and share an enormous amount of trust. These horses and riders accomplish seemingly impossible turns at full speed – they must communicate if they are going to leave the arena as winners. If this sounds like fun to you, don’t be fooled by barrel racing’s western origins. Barrel competitions are held on Long Island all the time and there are plenty of barns out here that can show you the ropes. For more information, contact the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association at www.WPRA.com, the National Barrel Horse Association at www.NBHA.com or the Professional Women’s Barrel Racing at www.ProRodeo.org.

A HIKE WITH

KEN KINDLER

discovered that the brush hadn’t grown into this segment of trail, so we started preparing it for summer hikes when ticks would become an issue further west in the Sarnoff Preserve. This trail needs only a little trimming and blazing. However, the brush has closed in on long segments of the DEC trails by CR104. The PP and yellow access trail are closed in and the red and blue loops have long segments of trail where the sides of the trail are touching. This has happened despite several large volunteer trail trimming initiatives facilitated in this area last year by the Pine Barrens Society. Now, you can’t even tell that 35 energetic volunteers had worked to clear the trails on two separate occasions. Until we figure out how to open up these trails again, I would suggest that, unless you are knowledge-

able about tick protection, stay off them. One walk you might like to take, where there is less of a tick threat, is along the Point Woods Trail. I took this hike last week with the East Hampton Trails Preservation Society and was once again impressed by their maintenance crew. The bridges that had become warped and dangerous have all been replaced with solid, safe structures. Even if this were not one of the prettiest trails on Long Island, it would still be worth visiting, just to see the handiwork of this trail group. To access this segment of the PP, park on Camp Hero Road in Montauk, the last public road off Route 27 before reaching the Montauk Lighthouse. Take Montauk Highway east through Montauk Village, past Theodore Roosevelt County Park, Deep Hollow Ranch and the Oyster Pond overlook (on right). The first right after the overlook is Camp Hero Road (1.5 miles east of the entrance to T. Roosevelt County Park). The trail begins on the right side of Camp Hero Road, 100 yards south of the intersection with Route 27. Park on the road shoulder by the “Point Woods Trail” sign. Walk the short access trail to the PP, a left turn over a bridge takes you along the Point Woods Trail, through Camp Hero, then along the bluffs to the Lighthouse. If you turn left, the PP crosses Route 27 to the Seal Haulout Trail. The State and EHTPS have done a great job of blazing these easy-to-follow trails. The only confusing place is where the PP crosses the highway, crossing in either direction, the opening to the trail on the other side of the road is set off to the right. This trail is clear of brush, so I didn’t pick up any ticks. Ken Kindler is a Trails and Open Space Advocate working to help the trails groups and land managers care for our “Natural Island.” If you would like to learn more about our trails or help care for them, visit the Hiking Long Island website. www.hike-li.org

DAN'S PAPERS, June 1, 2007 Page 69

CLASSIC CARS Okay, so you want to save gas. Let’s step back into the past when a gallon of gas cost less than 50 cents and cars got pretty good fuel mileage. In the forties and fifties most American cars achieved mileage between 20 and 25 miles per gallon. Mid-twentieth century vehicles were lighter than today’s automobiles and in most cases had much smaller and less powerful engines. Obviously, the more horsepower an engine has, the more feed it needs. Even the economy cars of the fifties, the air-cooled German Volkswagen Beetle, the French Renault Dauphine and the original British Mini, achieved only about 35 miles per gallon, which by today’s standards is not exceptional, but was quite good in an era of cheap fuel. However, these three European vehicles had, by American standards, really small, low horsepower motors. Yet all of them would merrily cruise down any highway in the world at acceptable speeds. Of them all, the Volkswagen was the most mechanically interesting. With its air-cooled, 43 horsepower 1300 cubic centimeter engine (one eighth the size of a big block Chevy V-8) mounted in the rear, the Beetle’s top speed of 72 miles per hour was also considered its cruising speed. It was quite common to drive an early Volkswagen with the pedal to the metal most of the time. As everyone knows, this car was destined to become one of the best selling cars the world has ever seen. Fast forward to today. Gas prices in America have reached all time highs. Most of our cars get worse gas mileage than those we drove 50 years ago. So what is the government and Detroit doing to get us out of this dilemma? Virtually nothing. The proposed government mandated fuel mileage rules are a joke, and Detroit, which is virtually on a self destruction mode, is still running expensive network television commercials proudly proclaiming how great their high

WITH BOB GELBER

horsepower, oversized and overweight vehicles perform. The American car buying public has pulled a Rhett Butler on Detroit with a “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” attitude toward their products. To save itself, what Detroit needs ASAP are highmileage, extremely fuel-efficient products. Even though I like small cars, I’ve come to the realization that most Americans like big things. In fact, we’re the only country in the world that likes big vehicles. There are two obvious ways to give big vehicles better gas mileage – lightweight and smaller engines. Why does an SUV need 260 horsepower and a top speed of over 100 miles per hour in the states, where the speed limits on most of our highways are posted so artificially low that it forces every American driver to be a scofflaw? Our large cars can be designed smaller, with almost the same interior volume and made much lighter. Then a much smaller engine that would consume less fuel could power them. Hybrid and electric power for automobiles is good, but complicated and expensive. There is another form of propulsion that was invented over 100 years

ago that is a better solution to our fuel consumption woes. It’s the simple diesel engine. If ever the time was right for diesels in America it is now. In city traffic, a diesel engine will get about 40 percent better fuel economy but on the highway expect about 15 percent. Diesel fuel is also cheaper to produce than gasoline because it is less refined. In fact, home heating oil and Jet A fuel used for jet planes is essentially the same as diesel fuel. In case of an accident and fire, diesel fuel is much safer than gasoline because it is considerably less explosive. Just recently, the United States Navy banned carrying all gasoline on its warships and the Navy Seals will be using special diesel powered outboards on their inflatables. Rudolf Diesel was indeed prescient. Diesel motors work long, hard and well, especially in large vehicles. Every, and I do mean every, large over the highway truck is diesel powered. A wellbuilt tractor-trailer rig purchased new usually comes with a 500,000-mile engine warranty. Some manufacturers of diesel truck rigs offer million mile engine warranties. I have a little 28 horsepower three cylinder diesel engine in my sailboat that should run trouble free for 10,000 hours, using one half gallon of fuel per hour. That’s the equivalent of a million miles. Diesels have a stellar reputation for a long life. An immediate fix for Detroit is to offer diesel power in all large cars and SUVs. The timing is right. Fifty percent of all the cars sold in Europe are diesel powered. It can happen here. With diesel vehicles in GM’s inventory, future television commercials might feature a nouveau Dinah Shore singing, “Save the USA in your Chevrolet, America is asking you to call.” Bob Gelber, an automotive journalist living in the Hamptons, appears regularly on television as an automotive expert.
