“Until Bloodied” Repairing a Historically Incorrect Historic Monument in Sagaponack By Dan Rattiner Twenty years ago, somebody stole a historic metal marker from its pole, just across from the Sagg School in Sagaponack. They just clipped the bolts and took it off. There was a big hubbub about it at the time, but things cooled down and the empty pole was removed and soon people forgot about it. The sign, made of bronze with raised letters, was never found. Ten years ago, the State of New York arranged for money to be available to replace the sign. But when those involved went to look for the folder with a description of what had been written on it, they couldn’t find it. Eventually, they went around Sagaponack

asking people if they remembered what it said. And as a result of this, the sign was recast with the following inscription, in raised yellow letters on a black background. Spider Legged Mill Site of the Spider Legged Mill to Which Major Cochrane Tied William Russell During the Revolution and Ordered Him Whipped Until Bloodied. And so it has remained, back where it was, until this day. About three years ago, however, it was discovered that it was not the wicked Major

Cochrane who had whipped the rebel, but a bunch of rebels, led by William Russell, who whipped Major Cochrane. Honestly, at the time when this was discovered, I felt that this was surely a just turn of events, not only because the Rebels eventually won the war for us, but because Major Cochrane, whoever he was, had — unintentionally to be sure — caused me much personal discomfort every time I went by that sign, read it again, and imagined him cackling sadistically as he went about whipping the poor and bloodied William Russell. In any case, in the same way that the whole (continued on page 24)

PARIS HILTON MAKES OUR PREDICTION COME TRUE By Dan Rattiner (Last Friday June 8, as Paris Hilton of Southampton went back in jail, I posted the following in Dan’s Blog on danshamptons.com. Feel free to comment on this on that site.) I think what is happening to Paris Hilton is bad for the Hamptons. Here we have this rich, spoiled, out of control little girl who shops, twitters, parties, jumps from bed to bed and lauds it over everybody and she is just — well, she’s from Southampton. Our poster girl. And now they have stuck her in the slammer for 42 days. Just because she was driving her car

drunk and might, in that condition, kill somebody — shut up! No way! — which, by the way, would be better for the Hamptons. Remember the rule. It’s not what they say about you, it’s THAT they say it about you. Let’s review this situation. The whole jail thing, as you know, was a setup. She got caught driving drunk AGAIN, and because she got caught driving drunk before and said she wouldn’t do it again, they HAD to convict her of a felony. But the good lawyer they had for her, of course he was the BEST, made a secret deal with the sheriff in the jailhouse. She’d be sen-

tenced to 24 days by the judge, go into jail, and then — and here’s the secret part — after a few days, she’d get the approval with the sheriff to be sent home to her west coast mansion with an ankle bracelet for good behavior. So that’s what they did. But she didn’t get good behavior, she got off for “medical reasons.” She was just so upset that she couldn’t stop crying. This is not the way to treat a rich heiress from the Hamptons. She cried and cried. The other inmates felt terrible. The jailers felt terrible. They sent in the jail doctor, they sent in a (continued on page 36)

Bloodied

(continued from page 21)

business died down ten years before, it died down again. And so the sign remains, with the whipper confused with the whippee and if there is something in the works to make things right here, I certainly don’t know about it. On April 1 of this year, at 6:30 in the morning, a man in a two-door Saturn sedan drove directly into the war memorial monument in the center of downtown Bridgehampton three miles away from the Spider Mill Marker. The car’s front crumpled up until it came to a halt. The monument moved about six inches off center but did not fall. To the best of anyone’s knowledge, this was the first time that anyone had ever driven into the monument. The driver was shaken up by the experience but otherwise unharmed. The police came and gave him a ticket. It did not take long for the wheels to go into motion for the repair of the War Memorial. Monies were made available. And North Shore Monuments won the bid. During the negotiations with the repair firm, it was noted that they were very good at polishing and repairing bronze plaques. As it happens, there are four bronze plaques bolted to the Bridgehampton War Memorial. The reason for this is that when they originally built the war memorial in 1903, the United States had only fought four wars. The dates of these four wars were therefore carved on each of the four sides of the monument, directly into the stone. (The French and Indian War, 1660; The Revolutionary War,

1776; The War of 1812, 1812; and The Civil War, 1861). When more wars came along it was decided that bronze plaques should be struck to commemorate them and these plaques bolted to the monument above the carved wars. Thus was placed a bronze plaque for World War I, 1914-18; World War II, 1941-45; the Korean Conflict, 1950-53; and the Vietnam War, 1964-73.) For further wars, stone markers were placed on the elevated level that supported the rest of the monument. Well, anyway, the firm North Shore Monuments was contracted not only to repair the war memorial, but also to polish it up, clean up and polish the bronze plaques, and while they were at it, clean and polish the bronze plaques that elsewhere noted various other sites of importance in the community. I do not know if the Spider Legged Mill plaque got on this list or not, but at the present time, the workmen from North Shore Monuments are making their way around town, cleaning and brushing and polishing. So far, they haven’t gotten to the Spider Leg Mill monument. But if they do, they will polish it up and meanwhile share in the sadness of poor Mr. Russell getting whipped by that awful Colonel Cochrane all those years ago. Who could ever forget? * * * The above was written last Thursday. This is now Tuesday. They’ve been down there. Major Cochran and Company are all shined up. •

Shinnecock Jacket Lessons Spending a Day Wearing a Black Jacket Bought at the Indian Outpost By Dan Rattiner Ten years ago, leaving the Shinnecock Indian Reservation, where I had spent the day enjoying the Labor Day Indian Pow Wow, I stopped at the Shinnecock Indian Outpost and bought a black windbreaker with the name of the tribe on it. It was a very beautiful thing with a dazzling, colorful display of feathers and peace pipes and Native American designs on the back, all beautifully embroidered in yellow, white, maroon and green. The embroidered wording on the back reads: SHINNECOCK INDIAN RESERVATION. SOUTHAMPTON NEW YORK. PEOPLE OF THE SHORE. In smaller print it says, INDIAN OUTPOST. On the front, over the heart, there is my name in bright yellow embroidery, put there by a seamstress at the Indian Outpost. It says DAN. I was in an enthusiastic mood at the time. Coming from a minority group myself, I have always been sympathetic with the Shinnecock Indians and their problems. I’ve even written about some of these problems in the paper. Anyway, it was a gorgeous windbreaker and it cost a lot (about $90). I thought, among other things, that the money I paid for it would be of some small help to those on the reservation. In any case, over the years I have almost never worn it. I prefer white clothes because

they reflect the sun. I generally wear a white hat. A black jacket doesn’t go with all that. So it has, for the most part, just hung in my closet looking beautiful. One of these days, perhaps when I retire from being DAN, I thought, I’ll wear the black windbreaker. Nobody will know me then. The other day, however, one of my white windbreakers was in the wash and the other was nowhere to be found. I grabbed the

breaker on the back of my chair. Who’s that guy? I belong to a private golf club. I thought it would be nice to go out for a round in the afternoon. But after thinking about it, I went and did that, but left The Jacket in the car. I went to an art gallery in Southampton and afterwards, walking down Main Street, passed the restaurant named Barrister’s, where the owner announced last month that no Shinnecocks would be welcome inside. First Amendment Rights people got on his case. He relented. That night, I was to have dinner at The Palm in East Hampton. Should I wear the jacket? Why not? Nobody actually said anything. But you could almost see them thinking. Isn’t that Dan Rattiner, the guy who writes Dan’s Papers? What’s he doing in that Shinnecock jacket? They own him now? Here comes an Indian. Wait. That’s no Indian. He’s a white guy. What, is he their lawyer? Twenty years ago, the Shinnecock Indian Tribe maintained a very low profile. They lived in poverty on their reservation and they didn’t want to talk about it. There was just one week-

Some people seemed very respectful of me wearing this jacket. Others seemed slightly hostile. Shinnecock jacket and wore it for the day. That jacket taught me a lot. Some people seemed very respectful of me wearing this jacket. Others seemed slightly hostile. A few people got out of my way when I walked anywhere. Others would smile and hold up a fist of solidarity. Wherever I went, people displayed strong opinions about me and my jacket. I had lunch at 75 Main and hung the wind-

end a year that anybody went there who was not from the reservation, and that was Labor Day for the Pow Wow. There were even signs up saying KEEP OUT at the entrance to the roads that went into the reservation. But if you wanted a souvenir jacket, they’d sell you one. Boy, is that lightyears from what is going on today. Those on the reservation have become much more active in the community. Shinnecocks have taken leadership roles in both the town and village. On the reservation, Council Members are elected every two years in a free and open election, not in a secret one. And the women now vote. Three weeks ago, the leaders of the reservation reacted to a drug problem they had there by calling in the Sheriff for a major narcotics raid. Six people were arrested. Now a church on the rez is opening a rehab. On the other hand, the Shinnecocks have made land claims for property that other people, white people, have built upon and have title to. They are pursuing the idea of building a gambling casino on property they own in Hampton Bays. And they are aggressively trying to obtain legal tribal status from the Federal Government. The Shinnecocks were here when the English first arrived in 1639. They have a long and well-documented history. The State of New York recognizes them. Wearing this jacket — I have worn it for three days — I have come to the conclusion that it is not easy being either a Shinnecock Indian Nation resident, or even a Shinnecock Indian Nation jacket. Tomorrow, I drive to Cambridge, Mass. to attend the college graduation of my girlfriend’s son. I’ll go up to Orient Point, then take the ferry. Should I take the jacket? On the ferry, everybody will think I’m some big time gambler heading for Foxwoods. Or a tribal member going up there to see how the Pequot Tribe runs the place. Well, I’ll just drive right by the turn off to the casino and head up toward Boston. What will people think of that? •

Not a group house.

“The Estate” Not a Group House, Not a Hotel, Not a Residence and Not for Everybody By Dan Rattiner I went to a party last Saturday night on the ocean beach in Southampton at a house owned by Janna Bullock, a Russian born businesswoman. Bullock had recently purchased the house and had spent quite a bit of money fixing it up. Apparently, her plan was to put it back on the market all shined up, and get, well, maybe not eight figures, but a seven-figure number higher than the one she paid for it. As the house didn’t sell right away and summer was coming up, she did the next best thing, which was to put it up for rent through Labor Day. In late April, she got a renter for $1 million from July 4 to Labor Day. And then she figured — this was the businesswoman part — that perhaps she could hold a big party on the property sometime in June, which could be a party for friends of hers and friends of friends of hers and, who knows, maybe she would come up with a buyer for the place to close on it after Labor Day. This house is the beautiful Norman Jaffe beach house to the east of Cooper’s Beach, next to a house under construction on the site where, until recently, there stood the old summerhome of Marvin and Patty Raynes. If the idea of this party was a good one, when Bullock got through with it, it was even better. A friend

of hers is Peter Beard, the Montauk photographer who takes pictures of wild animals in Africa. Another friend is Thomas Krens, the Director of the Guggenheim Foundation, which owns numerous photos taken by Beard. Bullock asked Krens if he could show some of Beard’s work, and she would invite Beard and honor him at the opening night of the exhibit, which would be this party. Beard would give a brief talk, she’d have anyone and everyone

people on the premises, many of whom wound up draped over the shoulder of Peter Beard as he gave interview after interview to TV reporters and newspapermen. It was a wonderful time, with a stroll through the house to look at not only Beard’s photographs, but artwork by Robert Indiana, Roy Lictenstein and David Salle among others, and then cocktails before sunset on the lawn followed by a buffet dinner, consisting largely of lobster rolls and salads. Among those in attendance was designer Mary McFadden, billionaires Steve Tanger and Leonard Stern, Michele Gerger Klein, Michelle Marie, Andrew Borrokk, Michael Sineknsky, Salvatore Strazullo, Jodie Fanelli, Steven Klein, Tara Subkoff, Jackie Rogers, Campion Platt, Alison Chace, Frances Hayward, Mike Latham and so on. Now this in some ways pushes the envelope out of the arena of what you are allowed to do at a private residence — not the party or the fundraiser or the book signing — but maybe the art gallery and real estate open house. I’d say it squeaked through what you could properly do on a property without getting too commercial. It really was great fun. On the other hand, we have just received

...the Olympic-sized pool will be a most exclusive destination filled with tastemakers, celebrities and the most striking women in the Hamptons. important that she knew and, well, even a prominent charity, perhaps Planned Parenthood, the one championed by her friend, Tatiana Platt, to be the recipient of money raised at the event. And who knows? Somebody might like the house. Bullock then proceeded to get a permit for her event, hired Elegant Affairs to cater it and had all sorts of beautiful models and young

word of another property in Southampton that is pushing the envelope in another direction. It is or isn’t, depending upon how you look at it, a hotel, or perhaps the most upscale illegal sharehouse in history. Here are excerpts from a flyer that is making its way around town. “The Hamptons experience, best known for its luxury, high-end homes and summer soirées, will be elevated with the debut of THE ESTATE, a private five-million-dollar property in Southampton, NY. Situated on eight acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, THE ESTATE features seven elegant bedrooms, eight and a half baths, six fireplaces, and over 10,000 square feet of living and entertaining space for the most exclusive events, cocktail parties, private art exhibits, fashion shows and intimate concerts for the ‘who’s who’ of the Hampton community. In addition, well known pro-athletes will play on the estate’s oversized tennis courts, while the Olympic-sized pool will be a most exclusive destination filled with tastemakers, celebrities and the most striking women in the Hamptons.” The oversized tennis courts made me kind of curious. And so did the exclusive destination of the Olympic-sized pool for the most striking women. But read on. “Dedicated to providing the best weekend experience on the East End, EM GROUP, with partners TENJUNE owners Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum, will captivate guests with celebrity barbecues, spectacular rooms, VIP hotel-like services and outdoor décor by

Pottery Barn.” As you continue to read, you learn that all sorts of companies are contributing stuff to this house for the summer. Besides Pottery Barn’s Outdoor Entertainment Set, there will be goods and services provided by Vitaminenergy drinks, there will be chauffer service provided by Cadillac Escalade to pick you up at the heliport on Meadow Lane, the airport, or maybe just to take you, driven by the chauffeurs, to celebrity and VIP events in the Hamptons. The bathrooms will be stocked with products proided by Rembrandt Luxury Grooming and the John Allan Company. And Piaggio Vespas will be on display at the Estate grounds, signed by celebrities to be auctioned off at the end of summer. There will also be an outdoor showing of blockbuster films every Friday night by the pool, with guests indulging in Dale & Thomas gourmet popcorn, which was selected by Oprah Magazine as one of Oprah’s favorite things, according to the press release. “Dale & Thomas manufactures America’s first line of chef-crafted gourmet popcorn products,” the leaflet trills. “Chef Ed will create popcorn-inspired specialty dishes. Available in over ten different flavors, Dale & Thomas covers every taste bud, everywhere. “EM GROUP will leave no stone unturned,”

it concludes. “Doing what they do best, (owners) Remm and Birnbaum have created a recreational oasis at THE ESTATE, complete with high-end programming and celebrity events and guests who will spend the weekend in the luxury suites as they would at a resort that their friends own. Unlike other Hampton getaways that cater to the masses, THE ESTATE has steered clear of the “party house” mentality, choosing instead to focus on hospitality and luxury for a select group of influencers.” Some years ago, I stayed in Donald Trump’s Palm Beach estate known as Mar-a-Lago. This was one of the great old millionaire’s estates from the 1920s, originally built for Marjorie Merriweather Post and Edward F. Hutton, which, sometime in the 1960s, became licensed as a hotel. The description of THE ESTATE reminds me off the bat of Mar-a-Lago, except I don’t know if they have a hotel license. There is a picture of THE ESTATE in the leaflet going around. What it looks like is a big Southampton McMansion, recently built as a spec house, now unsold, with a great plan for the summer until the thing finally finds a buyer. I wonder what the neighbors think. How many unrelated people are allowed to live in a private home in Southampton at any one time? Hmmmm. •

The Italian Taxi A Strange Journey by a Father and Son and a 1927 Fiat Convertible By Dan Rattiner I don’t know if any of you were involved in the huge traffic jam that ensued after a van hauling an antique automobile broke down on County Road 39 about a mile east of the Sunrise Highway last Saturday morning, but the thunder, lightning and huge downpour together with four police cars, two wreckers and a vehicle from the fire department tied things up for nearly four miles for those heading westbound. The van was being driven by Iggie Franciamore, who retired two years ago from a thirty-year career running a BMW dealership up in the Bronx and who was traveling with his wife trying to bring an old, beat-up 1927 Fiat

509S he owned from his home in Scarsdale to the antique car show at the Hayground School in Bridgehampton. The fanbelt of his van had broken while driving through the floods, causing it to overheat and eventually blow the radiator before coming to a halt across from Southampton Tile. It was some mess. But in the end, the Franciamores would not be deterred. They spent Saturday night in a motel waiting for the van to be fixed, then showed up $800 poorer and about an hour late for the Concours d’Elegance car competition Sunday, where their beat-up old Fiat, a former taxicab, won one of the top awards. Theirs is

quite a story. Not the one about how they got here. But the one about how they got the car in the first place. I know that they won this award because I presented it to them. As a judge at this event, I had been charged with walking around and talking to all the eighty or so car owners and then deciding which of them had told me the best story about their car. The Franciamores won the award for “Best Story Told” hands down. What follows is that story. Iggie Franciamore was born and raised in Sicily, the son of a taxicab driver. He moved here in 1960 as a young man and worked as a sales(continued on the next page)

FOUNDING WESTHAMPTON DUNES — THE MOVIE By David Lion Rattiner Have you ever had one of those situations where you were sitting around with some friends talking about some amazing thing that happened to you recently and said to the group, “That would make such an awesome movie?” Well that is exactly what happened to Yale Nelson, a Westhampton Dunes homeowner who bought his house there in 2000. Mr. Nelson, who has the movie business in his blood and has been making movies for nearly 25 years, recognized the incredible Hamptons story of a community that was completely

destroyed and completely revitalized in a manner of years. And so, he decided to go out and do what he does best, make a movie. In doing so, he created a film entitled “Incredible Journey.” The 92-minute long documentary describes in great detail the events that lead up to the destruction of a small area of Westhampton, and how it completely bounced back better and more stable then before using some smart law tactics. The story of the Westhamptons Dunes is a commonly told and amazing Hamptons tale of community spirit. The area was completely destroyed in the Nor’easter of 1992 in part

due to the fact of groin field designed to prevent erosion that was never completed in 1960. Back then the groin field idea was a simple one; build groins all the way up the coast to catch the sand as it erodes, thus preserving the beaches and preventing erosion. The idea has worked before and back in the 60s, construction of the groins began. You can see them at Georgica in East Hampton and at Ditch in Montauk to this day. As the groins started getting built, political pressure forced the construction to stop and what ended up happening was the sand that (continued on page 38)

man for a few years at Hoffman Motors on Park Avenue and 76th Street. Hoffman Motors was the largest foreign car dealership in Manhattan at that time. After a while, Iggy started his own dealership up in the Bronx and it soon became successful. Also, he began buying and selling used foreign cars, sometimes owning three or four at a time himself. But as time went by, into the 1970s and 1980s, what he could not get out of his mind was the little Fiat that had been his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxi cab when he was a little boy. After World War II, his father had sold this car to a man who used it to haul bags of fish between the docks and the stores in their town of Agrigento. When Iggy moved to America, and after he got his father and mother to America, all he could find out about this car was its model number, which his father remembered. It was a 1927 Fiat Convertible, model 509S. At his dealership, Iggy told his salesmen that they should keep their eyes open for such a car. He would like to buy one and give it to his dad. But the years went by and there was no sign of one. It was a rare car indeed. In 1989, Iggy was not only a collector of old cars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he had twenty of them by that time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but also a racecar driver for BMW. That year, he was preparing to go to Watkins Glen when a salesman at another agency said he had gotten a line on a Fiat 509S. It was in a shed behind a pizzeria in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The owner was asking a lot. It was, after all, sixty years old. Iggy was given the name and phone number of the owner. He decided to take a detour to

Happy Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day

Scranton on his way to Watkins Glen. What he found in Scranton was that this particular Fiat had a split block. The story was that around 1965, an American went to Italy looking for old cars and returned by boat with this Fiat. He signed for the car at the docks in Brooklyn and began to drive it to his home in New Jersey, but never made it. It was a cold winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day and halfway there the engine block cracked, the water poured out and it came to a halt. There was nothing anybody could do. In the part of Italy where this car had come from, nobody used anti-freeze because the weather never got that cold. That detail had slipped the mind of the buyer. This owner tried and tried to find a replacement engine for the car, but there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one. And from there, somehow, it wound up in a shed behind a pizzeria in Scranton. As the seller of the car was telling Iggy about this, Iggy happened to notice the license plate numbers. They were the original Italian plates. 376 AG. This could not be, is what Iggy thought. Ag stood for Agrigento. But maybe it was from somewhere else in Italy where they had the first letters AG. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where had this car been in Italy?â&#x20AC;? he asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somewhere in Sicily,â&#x20AC;? the seller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A small town. I have the paperwork.â&#x20AC;? Iggy asked to see the paperwork. And after the man brought it to him, Iggy wanted nothing more, right then and there, to go through it page by page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could I use your bathroom?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly,â&#x20AC;? the man said, directing him to it. And so it was here, in a bathroom in Scranton, Pa. that Iggy, after flipping pages, came upon the signature of his father as one of the early owners of this 1927 Fiat 509S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you all right in there?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No problem,â&#x20AC;? Iggy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be right out.â&#x20AC;? Iggy tried to negotiate the high price being asked for the car. But the man would not budge.

And so Iggy shrugged and he left. But in the weeks that followed, Iggy continued to think about this car. He saw his father, who was now quite elderly, from time to time. He would have to buy it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so I called the guy back and we negotiated the price. And here it is,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you got a new engine?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no new engines. This is the original engine, with rivets,â&#x20AC;? Iggy told me. I heard lots of other interesting stories about automobiles as I walked around among the cars at the Concours dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Elegance on Sunday. One man told me about his beautiful 1924 Rolls Royce Phantom, which he had bought from inside a barn in Connecticut where it had lain for thirty years. Rats ran out of it when he got into it for the first time. There was no gas tank. To test drive it, the man offering to sell it had to run alongside, pouring sip after sip of gasoline from a pitcher into the vacuum tank as the buyer drove it fifty yards or so up and down a lane. There was a woman who owned a beautiful, bright yellow convertible called a Kaiser Darren. It had only been made during one year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which was 1954. The front doors did not open out. They opened by being slid into the fenders. The woman had driven the car here from Islip. Before she left, friends had suggested she have somebody come along behind her in another car, a good car. She told them she had a good car and this was it. She would go alone. And did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell me a story,â&#x20AC;? I asked her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, I have three other old cars. I really like collecting them. I could tell you something about all of the cars.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had sex in all my cars.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay.â&#x20AC;?

The Form Can Anyone March in the Fourth of July Parade in Southampton? By Victoria L. Cooper On May 21st, Judge Joseph Bianco approved a settlement that will allow anti-war protesters to march in the Southampton Village Fourth of July parade. This was made possible becuase of a lawsuit filed last summer in the U.S. District Court in Central Islip after the Southampton Village parade commission attempted, but failed, to block protesters from marching in the annual parade while carrying anti-war signs and speaking out against the state of affairs in the country. The lawsuit, which was pursued to make certain that protesters would be allowed to march in future parades, cited the First Amendment right to

Freedom of Speech. Judge Bianco also included a stipulation that required the village to draft and adopt a policy that would allow any individual or group to participate in the parade. The ruling will only affect the Fourth of July parade, but will be subject to review by the court as precedent for other parades if needed. Protesters who marched last year will be allowed to march again. The agreement noted that any organization, group or person wishing to march in the Fourth of July parade must apply to do so. In turn, the village has created a formal application process for all those seeking to march and, just in case any applications

are denied or rejected by the parade commission, there is a formal appeals process. Last week, I requested an application after learning that you cannot go to the Southampton Village Hall to pick up a copy. Instead, it must be sent by snail mail. So when I received my application, which was signed by William A. Frankenbach, who is the Chairperson of the Commission on Veterans’ Patriotic Events, I was interested to learn about the restrictions and guidelines. This is the same William A. Frankenbach, veteran of the Korean War, who collapsed at the Memorial Day service when he was shocked (continued on page 39)

WESTHAMPTON PILOTS WON’T HAVE TO GO TO BRAZIL By Sabrina C. Mashburn Last week, a Brazilian judge charged two Long Island pilots with “unintentional negligent endangerment of an aircraft” due to their involvement in the collision between two aircraft flying over the Amazon. One plane, a Brazilian commercial Boeing 737 jet, crashed and killed all 154 passengers on board. Jan Paladino of Westhampton Beach and Joseph Lepore of Bay Shore, the pilots of the small Embraer Legacy jet that hit the Boeing 737, and their passengers landed safely and unharmed. Although there have been rumors that the pilots would be required to return to

Brazil to face their charges, Joel R. Weiss, the lawyer representing both pilots in the United States, said that although he had not yet seen a translation of the judge’s ruling, he has already been “informed by Brazilian co-council that, based on Brazilian and international law, the pilots would be permitted to testify in the United States for the Brazilian judge’s review.” Furthermore, Weiss maintains that the extradition treaty between the United States and Brazil “does not allow extradition of Brazilian citizens or American citizens on this specific charge.” When asked if there were benefit to his clients’ returning to Brazil to face their

charges, Weiss made it clear that he would “prefer not to comment on that.” In his clients’ defense, Weiss insisted that “the pilots are innocent. They were completely competent throughout the entire flight.” Along with the pilots, four air traffic controllers have been charged in the case. While three of the four controllers were charged with “unintentional negligent endangerment of an aircraft,” the fourth air traffic controller, Jomarcelo Fernandes dos Santos, was charged with “intentional endangerment of an aircraft” due to his exceptionally poor judgement in the (continued on page 53)

BROADWAY’S GREY GARDENS WINS 2 TONY AWARDS By T.J. Clemente Six nights a week, the curtain goes up on Broadway on a piece of East Hampton history in the form of the hit stage play, Grey Gardens. Grey Gardens is also an old estate in East Hampton, built in 1901, presently owned by Ben Bradlee who, along with his wife, Sally Quinn, saved the home from years of neglect. The occupants that owned the home before the Bradlees were Jackie Bouvier Kennedy’s aunt and cousin, Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter “little Edie.” These two people, mother and daughter, became the model for the characters in the Broadway show. On Sunday night Tony awards were bestowed upon the two actresses who played the roles of Edith Bouvier Beale, (Mary Louise Wilson) and her daughter “little Edie,” (Christine Ebersole). The show “Grey Gardens” is the story of a family rich in history that rode the wave throughout most of the twentieth century. Their home became the subject of a late 1970’s film that the London Sunday times called, “Extraordinary, one of the oddest most beautiful films ever.” Then over thirty years later, with the same title, Grey Gardens becomes the Musical on Broadway with the Tony award-winning actresses playing lead and supporting roles. At first, Grey Gardens was a posh home of two merged Catholic but aristocratic families, the Beale’s, whose ancestors actually fur-

nished the first Confederate White House in Montgomery, Alabama and the Bouvier family of Further Lane and NYC. Edith Bouvier Beale was Black Jack Bouvier’s sister. Black Jack Bouvier was Jackie Kennedy’s father. The two Beales, mother and daughter, lived in this house less than a mile away from Jackie’s childhood home while growing up summering in East Hampton. The reign of Big Edie was glorious with summer balls, a well-maintained garden, and teas with the finest of neighbors. However income tax and inheritance tax did not preserve the Beale’s ability to grip the financial necessities to maintain a property such as Grey Gardens to the standards of East Hampton’s summer colony. In fact, when Sally Quinn went to look at

the Grey Gardens before buying it, her real estate agent refused to go into the home. When Sally was greeted at the door by “Little Edie,” and a few of her thirty cats, Edie actually told Sally that all the entire house needed was, “some soap and water, and some fresh paint.” Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn restored the estate to its prior glory. In fact, last August for Ben’s 85th birthday bash, Sally had Christine Ebersole come out and sing some of the score from the then upcoming Broadway Grey Gardens Musical. Many believed that over the years Little Edie’s behavior became very eccentric. Life long friend Ann Dervy of Birmingham, Alabama, believes some of the crazy behavior was a ruse to keep strangers away and off guard. Receiving letters right up until Little Edie’s death, the letters were factual, funny, and very political. Another friend, Lois Wright, who has a local TV show, believes the pressures of having the responsibilities for the estate without the proper funding eroded Little Edie’s health. Back in the early 1970’s Lee Bouvier Radziwell, Jackie Kennedy’s sister, desired a movie be made about her family. Upon the advice of then buddy Peter Beard, she was put in touch with David and Albert Maysles, two documentary filmmakers. When the financing did not materialize, the Maysles brothers took (continued on page 36)

Moving Day FilesAboutJacksonPollockAnchorNewSouthamptonCollegeCollection By Alan Michael Bravemen In the very near future, a built-to-specification section in the Library at Stony Brook Southampton college will be filled to the brim with the more then 2,000 items that currently comprise the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center research and art reference library in East Hampton. These documentary archives, photographic and oral history collections will be available to the campus community and the general public and to a wide range of researchers — high school students, doctoral candidates, fiction writers, journalists, historians and creative writers. The documentary materials include the complete Pollock

Krasner papers on microfilm, the catalogue raisonné for both artists and the research papers from Jeffrey Potter and B.H.Friedman, two of Pollock’s biographers, as well as vertical files of clippings and exhibition brochures of 20th Century American artists and hundreds of hours of video and audio taped interviews. The core of the art reference library was created through donations from the estates of Elaine de Kooning; Arnold Hoffman, jr.; Hans Kline; and Alfonso Ossorio. Since its early creation, the collection has also grown through gifts and purchases. Once the move is completed and the material is housed in its new home on the Stony Brook Southampton Campus, it

will be far more accessible to a greater number of visitors and students then at any previous time. With a larger facility, more parking spaces for visitors and greater exposure to the academic and publishing world, the collections should generate much more interest and use. Stony Brook Southampton will also be the site of the summer lecture series for the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center. The summer lecture will be held in the refurbished, 135-seat Duke Lecture Hall in Chancellors Hall on July 22 in conjunction with the Southampton Writers conference.

SOLAR BEES HOPE TO SAVE WATER MILL POND By Sabrina C. Mashburn Mill Pond, in the center of Water Mill is ill – and only a swarm of something called SolarBees can save it. In a joint effort by the Peconic Land Trust and the Friends of Lake Nowedonah, four SolarBee water-circulating devices have been installed to try to cure Mill Pond’s ailments. Perhaps due to storm water runoff from nearby lawns and fields, Mill Pond has become a eutrophic lake. The term “eutrophic” is used to describe any body of water with an excess of nutrients and, subsequently, an overabundant plant and algae population. The same nutrients that make grass,

crops and ornamental plants grow faster, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, can be deadly to a lake or pond ecosystem. Because lakes are stagnant (for the most part) they usually have a lower dissolved oxygen content than bays and oceans, as the only way oxygen can be dissolved into the water is if it is created by underwater plants or exchanged at the surface due to water turbulance. When there are too many nutrients (fertilizers) present in the water, once the plants have used up all the nutrients they need to grow, the excess nutrients begin to support abnormal populations of algae. Plants, including algae, have a life cycle

just like all other living things. So when there are too many plants in a lake, dead plant matter and algae spores settle on the bottom of the lake. The process of decay utilizes oxygen to convert the dead plant matter back into useable nutrients – this means that, in a eutrophic lake like Mill Pond, not only is there an overabundance of nutrients — but the microorganisms helping to break down the overload of dead plant matter on the bottom are using up all of the oxygen in the pond. Once dissolved oxygen levels drop, Mill Pond will experience massive fish and bird loss, resulting in the (continued on page 47)

neous and self-expressive application of paint in creating a nonrepresentational composition,” according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. In 1945, Pollock married the painter Lee Krasner and moved from New York City to Long Island’s East End. With the help of a loan from New York art dealer Peggy Guggenheim, they purchased a small home and some land in the Springs near East Hampton. In the then very quiet East End community of farmers and baymen, Pollock created his masterpieces. These works were so innovative in style and technique that they stunned the art world and continue to inspire artists and viewers to this day. Jackson Pollock died in an automobile crash in the Springs in 1956, but his wife continued painting and became a prominent artist in her own right. The couple’s move from Manhattan to the Springs inspired other artists, such as Willem De Kooning, to leave Manhattan and join them, creating a flourishing artists’ colony on the East End. Indeed, the artists colony came to include such famed painters as Ilya Bolowtoski, Larry Rivers and Athos Zacharias (De Kooning’s protége and Lee Krasner’s last assistant) and many others too numerous to mention. That artists’ community still flourishes today. One of the ironies of this story is that many of the above mentioned artists taught at what is now called “Stony Brook Southampton” for a time. Lee Krasner continued to live in the house after Pollack’s death and upon her death left the house and grounds as a memorial to both their lives. When she died in 1984, she was in the midst of a retrospective of her work. Visitors are welcome to tour the house and grounds of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, as well to don protective foot covering and carefully walk across Jackson Pollock’s studio floor, which has the shadows of many of his most famous works still stuck to the floor. The transfer of the art reference library and other related materials to Stony Brook’s Southampton Campus will create a greater interest in visiting the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, with it’s new exposure to hundred’s, if not thousands, of excited art lovers and students. The preservation and development of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center has been undertaken by the Stony Brook Foundation Inc, a non-profit affiliate of Stony Brook University.

Who’s Here By Justin DeMarco Sitting on a roof top eleven stories above cobblestone streets, meatpacking plants and trendy eateries in New York City’s Meatpacking District, photographer Michael Dweck is at home in his outdoor studio overlooking the Hudson River. Walking over to a bench, Dweck takes his camera bag off of his shoulder, places it along with his blackberry on a round table and takes a seat. His shoulder length brown curls — once called an “Isro” (Israeli Afro) by his friends in high school — begins blowing in the wind. “I was born this way,” Dweck says about his tumbleweed looking hair. “It’s become my trademark.” So much so, that when he was in Japan, somebody made him a rubber stamp with the words “Bush Head” on it. But the man who recently photographed the “Girls of Montauk” for Playboy’s July issue will be the first one to tell you that it’s not his appearance that matters, it’s his ability to capture the beauty of his subjects. “In the case of the Playboy photographs, I wanted it to be a celebration of life by the beach,” Dweck said. “That was the idea. I wanted people to look at the body of work and say, ‘I would love to be in that place now.’” The 49-year-old, self-taught photographer has been perfecting his craft since the age of seven, when his father bought him his first Kodak camera at the 1964 World’s Fair. “The first thing I did was disassemble my parents’ television set and take out the picture tube,” Dweck said about his first photos. “I’d put my little brother in there and photograph him with these frames. It was cool. Almost like a storyboard. I didn’t realize until later on that there was a sticker on the TV that said it was like 10,000 volts or something if I touched the wrong thing.” The self-proclaimed “mischievous child” was able to get away with this tactic during his childhood in Bellmore because he would reassemble the television set before his parents came home. His father later bought him a 35mm camera when he reached junior high school. Art played an important role in Dweck’s development. He enjoyed painting and always had a camera on hand, which he used to photograph friends, lifeguards and surfers at Jones Beach.

Michael Dweck Photographer “I think my camera, together with me, kind of helped bring out my personality a lot when I was younger,” Dweck said. “And it’s very much my personality now.” He credited Jimi Hendrix for the way he expressed himself in high school. Dweck wore

It was also during his high school years that Dweck and his friends discovered Montauk. “In the late 70s, I heard that the Stones were out there. I’m a big Stones fan. I heard they were staying at Warhol’s place. My friend, Oscar, a trumpet player, and I was a drummer, said ‘let’s go out there and let’s play really loudly.’ My brother’s girlfriend had a house out there somewhere in Napeague. We thought that that’s where Warhol was. We thought Montauk was one small place, not knowing that Napeague’s nowhere near Montauk. So we got there at two in the morning, opened the windows and jammed for hours, saying, ‘You know what? They’re going to hear us. They’re going to ask us to come over and play with them. And that’s how we’re going to make it as Rock and Roll stars.’ Of course, that didn’t happen. “So we went out that night. We went to Shagwong, the only bar in town. And we said, ‘Hey, we heard the Stones were here. You guys know where they are?’ And the bartender said they were there earlier. Of course, the guy was goofing on me, we found out later on. He’s like, ‘Ah, you missed them. You should come back tomorrow.’ We came back the next day, of course, and he said, ‘Ah you missed them again.’ “We then went looking for Warhol’s house. That’s when I discovered Ditch Plains and fell in love with Montauk.” Dweck now visits Montauk with his wife, Cecilia, who he met through photography, and their two children, as often as possible. He has been renting houses or staying at the East Deck in Ditch Plains for many summers. Dweck enjoys taking pictures, fishing with his son for striped bass at their secret fishing hole, hanging out at Shagwong after hours and eating at the Harvest, when he can get in. After graduating from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, first studying Architecture and then changing to Fine Arts because “they didn’t appreciate my approach to architecture,” Dweck worked as a creative director for his own companies — Dweck & Campbell and later Dweck! During his time in advertising, Dweck won 40 international awards, including a Gold Lion at the Cannes Film Festival. Two of his long form television commercials are now part of the permanent collection in the Museum of Modern Art. “The advertising and my photographs are

Kennedy High School prom. “I think I scared my girlfriend’s mother,” he recalls. Trying to be like Hendrix, he used to pick out his hair before high school track meets as well.

ly for jail, she shouted to her mother in the audience “Mom! Mom! This is wrong!” So now she’s back in jail. The real problem for the Hamptons is that, with 42 days in there, she will soon stop screaming and crying. You can’t cry forever. And so you do something else. In her case, the fear is that she might learn what it means to be a serious person. She is 26 years old, after all. Not 18. What if she sees the light? What if she gets out and says she has seen the light. She will give away her fortune to the

poor. She will get a job. She will join a church. She will get married and have kids. She will get fat and join the Parent Teachers’ Association. And she will never do anything bad again. This cannot, I swear to God, on the soul of the Hamptons, be allowed to happen. We don’t have another Paris Hilton. Free Paris! * * * Three days after I posted this blog, Paris Hilton released the following statement from jail. “I’m not the same person I was. I used to act dumb. It was an act.

rents Grey Gardens eleven months out of the year from the Bradlees (the Bradlees keep it for August for the family), invited both Lois Wright and a visiting Ann Devry to visit the home. Ann, a first time visitor to East Hampton at the age of 80, was fascinated by how the estate was extremely southern with its flowers, garden, and demeanor. The thatched roof playhouse in the back has been restored to its previous glory, and that brought her back to another time in our county’s history. The next day Ann Devry was taken to Broadway to see the musical. From her home back in Birmingham she

praised Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson for their portrayals of Little Edie, and Edith, the women she knew her whole life. She said the actresses really brought out the nugget of the magic of who the Beale women were; “Independent southern women.” Sometimes art imitates real life and real life inspires art but in this case it was the core essence of who these women were that poverty and circumstances could not strip away. They were and will always be icons of a time when East Hampton summered, while the rest of the country coped with the Great Depression.

Twentysomething…By David Lion Rattiner Stay At Home Dad The other day, Pentagon John called me up on the telephone to ask me for my opinion on marriage. “Dave, it’s John. Listen man, do you know a lot of people that are getting married this year?” “Dude, you know not to say that word in front of me.” “I’m serious.” “No man. Most people I know are far off from that, I think.” “Dude, you’re not going to believe this, but almost all of my friends that I went to college with are getting engaged this year. Is it me, or is that nuts?” And so the conversation continued. And yes, it is nuts. The two of us came to the conclusion that because John went to school in Virginia, he knows more people getting married. It’s a cultural thing, divorce is not something that they’ve seen all that much. New Yorkers are a little different because, well, we are all f$@$ing terrified of getting a divorce. Insert lawyer joke here. I’ve got to be completely honest with you. I totally believe in love and feel that there are a lot of people out there that are completely in love. I also really like the idea of getting married. The ceremony and the bachelor party sound like a hell of a good time. It’s just the divorce part I’m not so crazy about. I get into arguments with people about this

all the time. As a child of divorce, I’m aware of how much it sucks, so I’m a little jaded on this issue. People are always saying to me, “You shouldn’t get married if you think that you are going to get a divorce.” Oh, really? Gee, thanks a lot for that good piece of advice. I didn’t know that already. Gosh, I feel so much better, you nitwit. Look, the truth is that I don’t ever want to get married because I don’t want to spend my whole life saving and building assets and then watch half of it get taken away because my wife just “wasn’t in love with me anymore” and runs off with somebody else. I believe that I can make the commitment, but trusting somebody else and betting everything on her also? That’s pulling it off. The truth is, it is incredibly hard for a man to ignore the financial ramifications if he screws it up, or even worse, if she screws it up. This is how 90 percent of men in New York feel these days, unless they are going to marry a lady that has ten times more money then them. When that happens, they are all about getting married and are SO IN LOVE that they aren’t worried about getting a divorce. Gee, I wonder why? Give me a break. You take

the financial fear of getting married off of men, and there would be a marriage every day. And don’t give me that pre-nup crap; it’s all a myth. Which brings me back to the Pentagon John conversation, “I’d be down for being a stay at home Dad,” I said. We both started laughing hysterically. I would! The best part about being a stay at home Dad has got to be the part where you are not actually a Dad yet, but you are married. I’d be sitting in MY pool with ridiculous sunglasses on my face, drinking a margarita, checking MY Blackberry at MY oceanfront estate calling MY masseuse. I’d spend all day “working” on a “novel.” Then my wife would call. “Hi honey, how is work? Everything is good over here. The house is fine. No, I’m not drinking, I’m working, I just finished up another chapter today. Hey listen I was thinking about doing something special for us, how do you feel about getting a Ferrari? They remind me of you. Great, I’ll get it in your favorite color.” Then I would call all of my friends and complain about how my wife and I are having trouble because she works too much and I’m beginning to feel neglected.

NY - A scarcely known loan is available for home purchases and refinances that offers up to 90% financing, lowers monthly payments by 45% and requires no income verification. 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.

According to the legend of Westhampton Dunes, a man named Gary Vegliante, back then a Westhampton resident, got it in his head that he would start a separate village, then declare the area a national disaster, then sue the government for not completing the groin project and bring his property back to the way it was with he as the mayor of the new village. And that’s exactly what he did. After gathering up all the proper paperwork, approximately one square mile of Westhampton became the Village of Westhampton Dunes and a lawsuit was filed. In less then a year, the Army Corps of Engineers went to work once again, only this time, their soul intention was to restore the destroyed, newly formed underwater village that is Westhampton Dunes. And that’s exactly what they did. This incredible story almost doesn’t even sound like its possible, and that’s where the inspiration to make

the documentary by Mr. Nelson came from. After spending 3 years, Mr. Nelson got the story that he wanted. He interviewed Aram Terchunian, a coastal geologist at the Westhampton Beach firm First Coastal, who explains in detail the erosion and coastal situation that is there. He also interviews residents in the area and has gathered photographs and accounts from Westhampton Dunes Mayor Gary Vegliante. He has made quite the film, with quite the story line and the Hamptons is looking forward to viewing it this October at the Hamptons International Film Festival for a screening. Although it hasn’t been accepted or approved for a screening at HIFF, it would seem odd if it weren’t accepted. Yale Nelson has hopes of having his movie shown at the Hamptons International Film Festival in October, so most likely by then you’ll be able to check out the documentary. Until then, you’ll just have to head down to Westhampton Dunes yourself and spend a day at the beach knowing that just a little over a decade ago, the Army Corps of Engineers dumped 4 million yards of cubic sand beneath your feet all so you could enjoy that wonderful feeling of scrunching the sand between your toes.

multiple times by his defibrillator after exhausting himself while trying to raise the American flag. After being taken to Southampton Hospital by ambulance and released later that day, Frankenbach reported that the defibrillator “saved my life.” He is recovering at home. The theme for this year’s parade, which will be held on Wednesday, July 4th at 10 a.m., is “Celebrate America’s Birthday.” If one wishes to participate in the event, your float or other entry in the parade must “comply with the theme.” Further, insurance requires that all entries follow these restrictions for parade participants and safety of the spectators. 1. No throwing of candy, money, or any other objects along the parade route. 2. No handing out pamphlets, flags (other then committee), or any other material. 3. All entries remain in the line of march along the entire parade route. 4. No excessive delays or noise during the parade. ANYONE NOT COMPLYING WITH THESE RESTRICTIONS WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE LINE OF MARCH.

The rest of the guideline sheet asked for donations to help defray the cost of the parade and the second sheet that came with the application was the actual form that an entrant must fill out. It asks for organization/entry name, contact information and for the applicant to circle one: “1. I will be able to attend the parade festivities. My entry will consist of: 2. I will not be able to attend.” The application seemed very casual, especially after protesters in 2005, who marched with radical and politically charges signs such

as “Bush is a Murderer” and “Blood Oil,” were met with unwelcoming responses from the crowd. Mr. Frankenbach reported that the parade is meant to be an uplifting family event and not a politically-charged diatribe. In last year’s parade, the protesters carried signs that were supportive of the troops, not bashing its leaders. Last week, members of the Suffolk County chapter of the East End Vets of the New York Civil Liberties Union and James Henry, a Sag Harbor attorney who represented the protesters, gathered outside of Southampton Village Hall to announce and celebrate the settlement allowing anti-war protesters to march in the Southampton Village Fourth of July Parade. I look forward to marching in this year’s parade to support the troops and I intend to send in my application in hopes that the Commission on Veterans Patriotic Events will approve my plans to wear red, white and blue, smile and not throw candy. If you would like to participate, contact the Commission on Veterans’ Patriotic Events at the Southampton Village Hall to request an application. Happy Independence Day. GVaanZ 7BL

The Sheltered Islander The Sheltered Islander #451 “I had one like that, but I left it at the goody pile.” Summer is in full swing. The tourists are touring, the bicyclists are blocking traffic, all the cars are being locked in the IGA parking lot. Locals never lock their cars. It’s a little faith test we go through. If we lock our cars, it means we don’t trust our neighbors and that makes us like the rest of New York, so we don’t lock as a matter of principle. It’s a moot point for me, since my van now has one window that is all the way up and won’t go down and the other win-

dow is all the way down and won’t go up. I never worry about it. I figure, anyone who steals a seventeen-year-old minivan stocked with beach shells, old Happy Meal toys and towels, has very low self-esteem or is mentally challenged. I’ll have to get a newer car soon, but for now, Buttercup (all my cars have names) has to get me through this summer, at least. I never really notice how old she is until I park someplace that’s loaded with newer cars. Last week, Buttercup and I went to the elegant Pridwin and had a delicious lunch of fresh sea bass. I had been invited to speak at the Women’s Community Club of Shelter Island annual luncheon. An amazing group of women with excellent taste and judgment-but for their choice of me as a speaker. One of the ladies, whose name escapes me, talked to me about the fact that the newer residents (summer and year ‘round) need to get more involved in this community by joining groups like this one, or maybe our wonderful League of Women Voters, or any one of the groups that are here “on Island” to speak in the vernacular. She’s was so right. What makes a community is exposure to each other, to our lives, problems, goals and such. The trick is to know how much of yourself you can expose without going over the legal, or lethal, limit. So I came up with a few guidelines to follow. Consider these when you are joining an Island group and they make that innocent sounding but deadly demand: “Tell us a little about yourself.” The key word is ‘little.’ Say as little as you can. 1] Anything you did under the age of 18 that is not Honor Society-related, or has to do with rescuing cats from trees, is under the legal limit for exposure, so don’t say anything. 2] On Shelter Island, and I mean ESPECIALLY on Shelter Island, you never slept with anyone but your spouse. Revelations here will not only be over the legal limit, but will be over the lethal limit as well. 3] Don’t expose any secrets. Anyone who has lived on Shelter Island more than six years has at least three secrets that they must take to the grave. And the number gets bigger every year you live here. I’m up to five secrets now and I’m thinking of purchasing a sixth from a friend who has a surplus. Everyone knows that secrets and rumors have a ripple effect when revealed. What’s different here is that anything you unleash, however fascinating and juicy, will always, eventually, ripple back around to you. 4] “I was just picking up a check for a charity.” Memorize this phrase if you’re going to live here. Every man and most of the women on this Island can identify you by your car. You will be asked over and over, “I saw your car at (fill in the blank), what were you doing there?” Answer: “I was just picking up a check for a charity.” You won’t believe the number of times this will save your ass (continued on page 43)

SAVING MONTAUK: FLOOD PLAN IS OVERDUE By TJ Clemente “What should have been done,” “Why wasn’t it done” and “What if…” are always the words spoken after a disaster. It is amazing how bright everybody is afterwards. For example, now everyone asks, “Why weren’t the levees in New Orleans fortified?” after looking at billions upon billions of dollars of damage. The millions of dollars it would have cost to make New Orleans better prepared for hurricane Katrina now seem criminal for not being spent well in advance. With these thoughts as a backdrop, the director of the Town of East Hampton Natural Resources, Larry Penny, was asked what would need to be done for the Village of Montauk to prevent damage of a hurricane like Katrina. His responses were very sobering and insightful. Because the village is so close to the ocean with a natural wall of sand dunes that can handle about a seven to nine feet rise above normal high tide, the problem lies in the fact that a Category 3 hurricane is projected to make the tide thirteen feet higher than normal. Mr. Penny said Katrina was a Category 4 when it passed through New Orleans. Earlier this summer some schoolteachers from Biloxi, Mississippi solemnly told me what it is was like as 32 foot higher than normal water level destroyed their homes, town and lives. So the question was asked to Mr. Penny — what can and should be done, and what if nothing is done? Here are his answers. The Ditch Plains sand dunes, fortified this

last spring with the small lake formed with a weir to prevent flooding “worked well,” according to Mr. Penny. He said he realized there was not enough sand around Montauk to fortify, raise and build the sand dune wall necessary to protect the village without pumping sand from

the ocean to the shore. Why? Because what is needed to protect the town is a 30 ft. high wall of sand and dunes that should stretch from east of South Essex Street all the way west to just past the IGA along the shore. And there just is not enough sand by other means to achieve this goal. Why the wall? Because a town study a while back basically estimated the damage to the Village of Montauk’s infrastructure, roads, sewers, electrical lines and buildings to be a minimum of $500 million. This number does not include personal effects in homes, stores and things like cars. Then Mr. Penny went beyond that, to discuss how Fort Pond would in effect become a dead lake due to the salt-water influx. Plant life around the lake would be destroyed. The schoolteachers from Biloxi talked about how their once beautiful town became a “moonscape” due to the salting of the soil caused by Katrina and the high tide. Mr. Penny said that a project of this magnitude would take a minimum of five years and to do it totally right maybe even ten years. It’s cost? “Start up — at least one million. Completions — perhaps 10 million,” he explained. Long Beach had a proposal that was priced at over $150 million to do similar work over a much longer stretch of beach and it was voted down because of the cost. One has to wonder — pre-Katrina — what the vote tally would have been in New Orleans versus a vote after the (continued on page 45)

similar in some ways,” Dweck said. “I want to make photographs that evoke an emotional response, instigate a reaction and, hopefully, incite a discussion. I had similar objectives for the advertising work I was involved in creating. I think it helped hone some of my skills.” In 2002, Dweck began his professional photography career in Montauk when he started shooting images about the surf culture for his book, The End: Montauk, N.Y. The book was published by Harry N. Abrams in the summer of 2004. The first printing sold out in two weeks and the book is now considered one of the fastest selling art books in years. Dweck signed copies of the book for the likes of Madonna, Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith. “That was my portfolio in essence,” Dweck said. “Luckily, in 2003, Sotheby’s called me and said, ‘How would you like to have a solo show?’ They said, ‘We’ve never had one before for a living photographer. What do you think of the idea?’ And I’m like, ‘Let me think. Uh, Great!’ That day marked the start of my career as an artist.” Dweck sold many of the 68 photographs that were displayed in Sotheby’s main gallery. The photos in the book were a success, especially the cover photo of a girl running naked with a surfboard into the water. That photo was shown in the Louvre as part of the “Paris Photo” show the following year. “It’s important because I guess it validated my work at an early stage,” Dweck said about his photo being chosen for the prestigious show. “I had only been working professionally for a year at that point.” The Staley Wise Gallery in New York began representing Dweck. “They represent some of my favorite photographers like Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon and Toni Frissell.” The Fahey Klein gallery in Los Angeles, the Eric Franck Gallery in London and the Blitz Gallery in Tokyo also represent him. Over the past three years, Dweck’s photographs have skyrocketed in value. Once selling at $1,500, some of his works now fetch anywhere in the range of $15,000 to $20,000. Ralph Lauren, Placido Domingo and Howard Schultz are just a few of the people who collect

and your reputation. 5] “I had one like that, but I left it at the goody pile.” This is the other phrase you have to memorize. When you are asked, “Wasn’t that your jacket I saw wadded up on Joe and Susan’s boat? Isn’t she in Ohio visiting her mother?” When you are asked, “Was that your husband acting like an idiot at The Dory with those college girls?” Your answer to any potentially dangerous question is: “I had one like that, but I left it at the goody pile.” So, there it is.

Just remember my guidelines and you should do well.

his photographs. “Photography, I think, is the art of observing,” Dweck said about his craft. “I think, with photography, it’s something that either you have or you don’t. You have to have an eye and a mind that knows how to photograph. I think it’s something that can’t be taught. Technically, you can teach somebody about light, but I don’t think you can teach somebody about composition and emotion. It’s something that I think you’re born with.” His next book, Mermaids, is a series of photographs made under water and is scheduled to come out in March of 2008. The inspiration behind these photographs was connected to Montauk as well.

“I always wondered what would happen if I fell off a fishing boat late one night,” Dweck said. “What beautiful creatures would I see?” Mermaids is also going to be the title of Dweck’s next exhibition and will travel to galleries in the United States, Europe and Japan. However, there is no place like home for Dweck. “This place is like the world right here,” Dweck said about Manhattan. “The art, the energy, the music, the people — a potent stimulus. And Montauk has some of the most beautiful light I’ve ever seen. I think that’s one of the reasons why artists like Jackson Pollack, Willem de Kooning and Andy Warhol liked to be out here.”

destruction. Mr. Penny, a realist, doesn’t see a ground swell of support to act on these ideas in the village of Montauk. He also basically said that this plan would be just for the village of Montauk, meaning the rest of East Hampton has issues also. But what if the town gave the okay and the money was put in place? What would happen? First large pumps offshore would suck up sand from the ocean floor and the sand would be transported to the beach by huge hoses. Other materials, like rocks and hard earth, would be used to fortify the core of a 30 ft. mountain range of dunes that would rise along the seashore as the protecting barrier. Mr. Penny said that if we used the Army Corp of Engineers they would maintain the dune at no further cost. It is hopeful that the day never comes that Mr. Penny is on CNN explaining what if, what could have done should have been done but wasn’t because of the political and financial priorities. Hopefully he won’t have to go on explaining realities before a Category 3 storm comes ashore and changes everything. The beaches will be there like they have for thousands of years, but the wonderful beautiful magnificent homes? Well, enjoy them while we have them. The saying is a gambler never plans on crapping out.

JOIN AN ECO FARM, GET FRESH VEGETABLES By: Victoria L. Cooper Since the early 17th Century, farming has been a way of life for many of the families who first settled the East End. Throughout the years the rich soil has served as a common thread and has helped to tie communities together. Yet with farming becoming more and more remote from the life of an average person today (the farming population consists of just 2% of the American population), the availability of natural, healthy food has become a concern. Fortunately, there has been an increase in Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA), a new idea in farming. CSA has been gaining momentum since its introduction to the United States from Europe in the mid-1980s — and it is thriving here in the Hamptons. The concept of CSA originated in Switzerland and Japan in the 1960s. It was in these countries that not only did consumers become interested in safe food, but farmers sought stable markets for their crops. As a result, they joined together in economic partnerships. Essentially, a CSA consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation, which then becomes either legally or spiritually the community’s farm, with the growers and consumers sharing the risks and benefits of food production. Today, CSA farms in the United States number more than 400. Most are located near urban centers in New England, the Mid-

Atlantic states and the Great Lakes region, with growing numbers in other areas, including the West Coast. Here on the East End, there are ten CSA farms and like with all CSA farms, there are a few regulations and guidelines that help to shape the practice. On the North Fork in Jamesport there is Biophilia Organic Farm, which is open for 18 weeks, from June through October. There are 30 share spaces that generate approximately 10-15 lbs of food (this is generally enough food for a family that enjoys cooking). It costs $400 for a share and $250 for a half share. There is also Fred Terry Farms and Edible Petals Farm, both located in Orient. These are small family farms that use certified organic farming methods. In Jamesport there is the 40-acre Golden

Come on in! The pool heater is fine!

Earthwork Organic Farm that grows over fifty varieties of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Satur Farms is located on 50 acres in Cutchogue and grows specialty vegetables and herbs surrounded by European wine grapes. In Riverhead resides the 85-acre Garden of Eve organic farm. This farm not only produces vegetables, flowers and free-range eggs, but also offers educational programs, farm tours, internships and apprenticeships. Just around the corner in Calverton is the Farrm, which grows mixed vegetables, herbs, red currants, raspberries, wine grapes and garlic. On the South Fork, there are plenty of CSA farms to choose from. In Water Mill, there is the Green Thumb of Water Mill, which grows mixed vegetables, herbs, asparagus, edible flowers and blackberries. In Amagansett, you can find Quail Hill Farm, one of the original CSA farms in the United States. Also, aside from growing organic produce they also have a list of fun and friendly events open to the public throughout the growing season. In East Hampton, EECO (East End Community Organic) Farm is located on over 42 acres of land. EECO farm is an educational, not-forprofit community farm whose mission is to demonstrate and teach sustainable agricultural and gardening practices. A portion of every (continued the on next page)

death of the entire ecosystem in and around the pond. Luckily, the Peconic Land Trust and the Friends of Lake Nowendawah, and their four SolarBees, have buzzed by to clean up the pond. Although there are quick-fix chemical methods that can help keep harmful nutrients trapped in the sediment, the SolarBees are the

but also allows the water from the bottom of the pond to have contact with the surface of the water, where it can absorb oxygen from the air. In addition, the SolarBees can also be equipped to take surface water and shoot it directly into the bottom waters of the pond, thus speeding the process of oxygenation. This constant circulation and aeration of water can bring dissolved oxygen levels up to an optimum level (known as saturation level) in as little as one week. So, what’s the catch? For now, the SolarBees are being rented on a trial basis. If they can heal the pond, the Friends of Lake Nowendawah have pledged to raise the funds necessary to purchase the devices. Since there

is no one point source of pollution, such as a drainpipe, pouring nutrient-rich waste water into Mill Pond, it would be almost impossible to prevent eutrophication by halting the use of fertilizers and other harmful substances around the pond. If the SolarBees work, the health and livelihood of the entire Mill Pond ecosystm will be dependant upon the Friends of Lake Nowendawah and the Peconic Land Trust’s ability to maintain the SolarBee devices. If they succeed, Mill Pond will once more be a home for bass, ospreys and egrets and a source of pleasure and relaxation for the community. For more information on how the SolarBees work, go to www.SolarBee.com.

only remedy for eutrophication that does not involve chemicals or use of a power source. The SolarBees are powered by solar panels, which charge a battery that connects to a motor. As the motor turns a propeller, stagnant, oxygendeprived water from the bottom of the pond is sucked up a long tube and ejected at the surface of the water. This not only creates water turbulence, which discourages algae blooms by making it more difficult for the algae to settle on the surface of the water and get sunlight,

harvest is donated to some local organization working to feed the hungry. There is also a local beekeeper who maintains eight hives of honeybees on the farm that help to pollinate crops. On CSA farms, members or shareholders of the farm or garden pledge in advance to cover the anticipated costs of the farm operation and farmers’ salaries. In return, they receive shares in the farm’s bounty throughout the growing season, as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land. Although CSAs take many forms and the aforementioned East End farms are unique in their own right, they all have at their center a shared commitment to building a more local and equitable agricultural system. The growing season is almost upon us and as our world begins to shift and become more “green” and eco-friendly, it is important that we become aware of how and where our food is grown. There are many acres of farmland here in the Hamptons and the fresh, certified organic produce that is generated from them not only upholds the tradition of the East End’s long farming history, it also adds depth and character to our community. What better way to support the public than by helping to care for the land and local produce? If you are interested in joining a CSA in your community, please visit www.localharvest.org.

Whispers With Gina Glickman

Photo by Steven Henry

FROM THE ‘HOOD TO THE HAMPTONS The rain certainly didn’t put a damper on Hampton nightlife this past weekend. Friday night, Nick Cannon played guest DJ at DUNE. His fiancé, model Selita Ebanks, set the tone as she danced alongside her hubby to be, while Supermodel Yfke Sturm, Stella Keitel, Charlotte Freund and Scott Wilpon celebrated Nick Weil’s 25th birthday. Across town, Gossip Extraordinaire, Cognac Wellerlane, celebrated her birthday Vegasstyle, at Oaklands Restaurant, in Hampton Bays. Wellerlane dazzled the crowd dressed in

an authentic Vegas Showgirl sequined white ensemble. She was surrounded by hundreds of well wishers including Shane Gritzinger, Count Vlad from Vladicouture, Ron Caparella, Lorenzo Brieba, Patricia Parenti, Owain Morgan, Joe Manuella and Paris Felinni. Saturday evening, the crowds parted, as the Queen of R & B, Mary J. Blige entered The Pink Elephant nightclub in Southampton. Mary’s husband of four years, record producer Kendu Isaacs, never left her side, as Blige gracefully mingled with VIP’s. MJB, who visits the Hamptons often, was taking a break from recording her upcoming album. MJB had her honey-colored hair loosely pulled back and was wearing a flowing, halter-style, black and white polka-dot dress with peep-toe, red patent wedge heels and huge gold hoop earrings — she looked absolutely flawless. In person, Blige exudes an intense raw vulnerability, a similar quality that she shares in her lyrics and music, creating songs that depict her own life struggle on her path to self-realization. Blige often talks about her past and what is was like growing up in a dangerous housing project in Yonkers, New York. Even in the club, MJB isn’t afraid to open up when I asked her, “Because of all the suffering in your past, all the pain, do you ever feel guilty when you achieve certain career goals and experience success?” Blige smiled and seemed to understand exactly what I was insinuating and replied, “No, I do not, (continued on page 53)

hour prior to the accident. It was his actions that would ultimately set the two planes on a collision course. His first negligent action came when he saw that the Embraer Legacy jet was flying at a different altitude than their preliminary flight plan suggested. Thinking this was a machine error, Santos changed the settings on his equipment to reflect that the Legacy was flying at the altitude specified on the flight plan, not their actual altitude. Marcello also failed to notice that the Legacy’s transponder had turned off, making it impossible for the Legacy’s pilots to communicate with air traffic control. On a controller’s screen, a plane

appears as an “X” with a circle around it. If the circle disappears, the plane’s transponder is not sending out a signal, the sight of which should prompt the air traffic controller to try to get in touch with that plane’s pilots immediately. According to Weiss, “in the aviation world, it is understood that the primary responsibility for monitoring transponder function lies with air traffic controllers, not pilots.” Although the pilots’ lawyer expects to have a translation of the judge’s indictment by this week, it is unclear as to whether his clients will return to Brazil and what the ultimate outcome of any pending trial will be.

because I know hard times to the tenth power and I know how it feels to hate yourself and your surroundings and to hate what you see when you look in the mirror. Every single day I struggle with that, still, so every single day I appreciate when I don’t feel like I hate myself. I don’t feel guilty, to answer the question, I’m happy and proud of myself because I’ve come a long way.” These days, MJB admits she really appreciates the simple things in life. “I hate to train but I love to train, I love to eat, I love to shop, I love to make records with my husband. I love to have fun with him, I love my girlfriends.” Even now, with all her fame and fortune, Blige works hard to keep her priorities straight. She said, “You take care of the most important things, you think about yourself and about your husband and your children, God first, of course, and then everything will fall in place, because you can’t do everything, and when you line those things up properly, everything that you need to do will come to you, and you won’t have to change it.” As MJB posed for pictures and worked her way through the club to her table, she laughed and shouted out, “From the ‘hood to the Hamptons!” Even with her massive influence on music and R & B today, Blige will never let herself forget where she came from and it is through her rise to superstardom that shows achieving the American dream is possible — Mary J. Blige is living proof. But, more importantly, its positive thinking and actions that win every time. Take it from Blige’s inspirational life motto, “Love yourself and don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t or it’s impossible, anything is possible

A Murder At Cooperage Inn Review Of The “Who Done It” Caper On The North Fork By Krystle Howell On Sunday, June 10, there was a murder at the Cooperage Inn and the dinner guests were all witnesses. But there’s no need to worry because it was all staged. A couple of times a year, the Cooperage Inn invites The Other Vic Theater Company to hold an audience participation murder mystery dinner and on Sunday they did just that. The company performed “Mismatched,” which was written by one of their very own performers, Steve P. Kalomeris, who also directed the show with the help of the co-owner of the theatre, Jeanette Balzas. The performance was based on that of internet dating and what can happen when things go terribly wrong. The cast performed this play as though it was a “taping of an infomercial, for the latest online dating site where the couples get together live on the air.” The dinner guests that night were the live audience and boy did they participate. The cast was amazing. They were both hysterical on and off the “air.” It was truly an all-star line-up. In this performance, Greg Turner, played by Marty Edelstein, is a man all about the get-rich-quick schemes. While many of his former ideas have failed horribly, he believes that his internet dating service will be a hit. Rosy Turner, played by Suzanne Bannon, is his wife and the one he blames for every failing scheme. With what little patience she has and her very bad temper, she helps run the infomercial. Eve Buscemi, played by Dian Mills, is an auditor for the IRS, who loves her job so much, that she has a difficult time not talking about it. Parker

Posey, played by Steve Kalomeris, is an accountant who’s anything but fun. He is extremely boring, but very nice. Steve Cowell, played by Josh Deely, is a total geek who’s into all kinds of geeky things, but he’s very funny and even confident. Jessica Rowling, played by Ali Colluccio, is a beautiful, intelligent, sweet English lass, but she is a bit clumsy and finds it hard to date due to the fact that she works a lot with Greenpeace and is new to this country. Taylor Tazinsky, played by Jesse Perez, who’s also known as Taz, is a total party animal. He loves to party and drink, and while he has more muscles than brains, he is somehow an internet entrepreneur. Jennie Marriott, played by Carol Lee, is another party animal who absolutely loves Paris Hilton. In fact, she wants to be just like her. She’s very cute with a very dramatic personality. Joan Genericson, played by Joan Genericson, is a cowgirl, a southern belle born and raised. She’s got a strong accent and a very unique outfit. But let’s not forget the audience who plays an important role as well. While the dinner revolves around the actors and their performance, they also call out to people in the audience and interact with them. The dinner guests even get to guess whom they think killed the person and prizes are given out afterwards. The dinner is timed very nicely with the performance and comes to an end around eight. The food is delicious with nicely sized portions and the drinks are very good thanks to their bartender, Darlene. The owners Jonathan and Rene Perkins are wonderful as well and you should definitely come check it out!

Everyone who came to the show loved it, and that’s why after the first one was so successful Jon and Rene decided to do it again. Martha Zukosky said, “It’s the best. Everything here is amazing, the wait staff, the bar, the food, it’s wonderful. We’ve eaten all over and they really do have good food.” Steve agreed stating that, “from what I’ve had of the food, it is really good.” He also said, “I like it here. They have a great audience, one of the best.” Marty also enjoyed performing stating that, “they are really nice here and pleasant to us.” Many of the performers, such as Suzanne, said, “We don’t do it for the money, but for the love of the theater.” This comment definitely applies to who they are and to their performance. It is amazing. They are terrific people with astonishing talent. The Other Vic Theater Company has been around for over fifteen years. They have been performing dinner theater murder mysteries to entertain audiences all over Long Island, New Jersey, and even in New York City. If you want to “die laughing,” they would love for you to call them at 1-516-783-7469 or email them at www.theothervic2.com. They will also be performing again at the Cooperage Inn on October 28th. For only $49.95, you can experience “A Murder on Mystery Lane,” which is bound to be another amazing show, and have dinner. Included in this price, you get an appetizer, salad, choice of entree, dessert, soda, coffee, and/or tea. They tend to book very quickly and are usually sold out so you better reserve your seats while you can. Don’t miss out; it’s certain to be great!

Two Wines Collide The Story Of A Wine Prince And A Wine Princess Getting Married In Vegas By Jessica Gold There aren’t any sour grapes between these two families. On January 5th Jacqueline Entenmann married her boyfriend Jason Damianos at the Stained Glass Chapel in Las Vegas uniting two of Long Island’s biggest Wine Industry families. The Damiano’s are well renowned for their Pindar, Duck Walk, Duck Walk North and Jason’s Vineyards and the Entenmann’s are well known for owning Martha Clara Vineyards amongst other thriving businesses. Jacqueline (Jackie) runs the 200-acre farm along with her father, Robert Entenmann. They have over 100-acres planted in “over a dozen types of classic European varietals grapes including Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah to name just a few.” Jason, in addition to operating Jason’s Vineyards, has his 20-acre vineyard in Jamesport, which is closely planted using the “best French clones of Cabernet, Merlot and Chardonnay.” Jason is also involved in the operation of his families Vineyards; Pindar, Duck Walk and Duck Walk North. The families were thrilled to hear that Jacqueline and Jason married, yet a little surprised. Jason and Jacqueline had planned a nice little vacation together and called with the announcement of their marriage. Jacqueline said that her mother was suspicious when she saw the well-packed suitcase. Vegas was as good a place as any to get married when it’s right, it’s real and it’s totally meant to be. Who could have planned it better? What couple has more in common then these two who practically live on the Vineyards? Jacqueline actually met Jason’s father first when they were both

on a Board together and then she met Jason. Right away she knew that he was a good guy. They dated on and off for over 2 years before being “impetuous” and saying their “I do’s” in Vegas. Both Jacqueline and Jason wear many hats in

their family businesses. Jason is a renowned and highly skilled winemaker and Jacqueline is an expert in marketing and administration. Jacqueline earned her degree in communications from Boston University and her M.A. in Marketing from Emerson College. Jason earned his Enology degree from the University of California, Fresno, and received the prestigious Merit Award for his winemaking talents. He continued his studies at the University of Bordeaux, France, where he spent over 2 years in the Enology program. They make quite a team with Jacquelines Marketing skills and Jason’s incredible winemaking abilities. When asked to describe her new husband, Jacqueline doesn’t hesitate, saying that Jason is “a wonderful husband.” Her voice goes up an octave as she proudly lists her husband’s admirable traits. “He is very sweet, kind and has a caring side to him.” Jason gets on the phone to tell me that his wife is “the kindest, most thoughtful and generous woman that he’s ever met.” Ah...newlyweds. At the time of my interview, Jacqueline excitedly announced that one of Jason’s latest wines had won an award. The pride was evident in her voice when she told me. A family party celebrating the couple’s nuptials was held in May and a private reception for friends will be held this summer. When I asked Jacqueline what wine would be served she laughed and said “we serve it all, we serve both.” Let’s raise a glass (wine of your choice depending on if you’re a friend of the bride or friend of the groom, or mix a little together if you are both) and toast the beautiful couple and wish them much happiness in their lives together.

Atlantis To Celebrate 7 Years Atlantis Marine World In Riverhead Has Amazing Fun Lined Up This Year By T.J. Clemente Atlantis Marine World, located on 431 Main Street in Riverhead, is celebrating its 7th birthday with a birthday bash on June 30, 2007. The family oriented venue that is both educational and fun for children of all ages is proclaiming their birthday bash to be the “Must see event of the summer.” Besides the usual fun of seeing the various sea life, seals, sharks and turtles, Atlantis Marine World has booked the Sea Turtles to perform two live concerts; one at 1:15 p.m. and the other at 3 p.m. The Sea Turtles will perform hits that were recorded just for Atlantis Marine World. June 30 will also be the grand opening of the attraction called “Unearthing Atlantis,” which will allow youngsters to do a little archeology dig and find bones and other artifacts while learning a little about what it is an archeologist does, what he looks for and what he finds during a dig. The staff is excited about this year’s special feature and knows it will be a big hit. Also present at the party will be the new Atlantis World Mascot Squad. The photo opportunities will be limitless, as will the smiles on the children. Normally Atlantis Marine World offers daily aquatic events such as the 10:15 a.m. African Penguin Feeding and the 10:45 a.m. Sea Lion Show. The 11 a.m. Shark Dive Program, and also at 11 a.m. are the Ray Bay Lecture and Public Feeding. At 11:15

a.m. is a “Behind The Scenes Tour.” Then at 11:30 a.m. is the famous Atlantis Explorer Tour Boat that goes out onto the Peconic River. Also at 11:30 a.m. is the sand shark Lagoon Lecture and public feeding, which is pretty cool. This is all followed by the noon African Penguin Lecture. After that at 12:45 p.m. is the Sea Lion Show, then at 1 p.m. is another Ray Bay Lecture and Public Feeding. The schedule repeats itself with another 1:15 p.m. behind the Scenes tour etc. However, at 3:15 p.m. on weekends and holidays is Seal Kiss. Everyday at 3:15 p.m. they have a shark

lecture and at 3:30 p.m. is a coral reef lecture. The days activities ends with a 3:20 p.m. Piranha Feeding which is only on Sundays and Wednesdays. Also, The Lost City of Atlantis Shark Feed is Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 4:20 p.m. These events are very popular so booking them in advance or making a reservation by calling 631-208-9200 is advised. There also is an Atlantis Caféé that has an array of healthy foods, snacks and both cold and hot beverages. For a time out from all the education and observing is the Nemo Family Fun Arcade that has games galore but all children under 21 years old must be accompanied by an adult. And for the convenience of bringing home a little piece of Atlantis Marine World there is the City Treasures Gift Shop. So for the best family fun in an atmosphere of educational and healthy living, along with learning to care about animals and the local environment, point the car to visit Atlantis Marine World. When you get there free parking is available and the staff such as Trish Antonacci, and Savannah Warren are there to assist. Trish says her work environment is great, and “the atmosphere is great,” and that she “loves” working there. Mark down June 30, for the 7th Birthday Bash at Atlantis Marine World, in Riverhead and check out the Grand Opening of the Unearthing Atlantis which will put you right in the middle of an archaeological dig.

Opera Of The Hamptons ‘Tosca’ Opens Opera of the Hamptons Season at Vail-Leavitt In Riverhead By Roy Bradbrook For the past fifteen years, the devoted members of the Opera of the Hamptons have brought glorious music of all types from Puccini to Mozart and from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Sondheim, to indoor and outdoor venues across the North and South Forks. Music and wine are a natural pairing so it is not a surprise that concerts in vineyard settings have become a feature over the years but this year their sixteenth season will open in the more conventional opera house type surroundings of the beautiful bijou Vail-Leavitt theater in Riverhead on Saturday June 16 at 5.30 p.m. Barbara Giancola, the artistic director, and Atarah Hazzan, the music director, have chosen Verdi’s ‘Tosca,’ one of the most beloved of the classical operatic repertoire as the season’s opener. ‘Tosca’s story line, even though it was composed back in 1800s, is still valid today, with its depictions of the whole gamut of human emotions. Politics, passion and jealousy all are there with intrigue and double crosses at every turn of the page, as a poor painter, Cavaradossi, (all painters are poor in operas!), fights for the affections of Tosca, a beautiful singer. However, the wicked Baron Scarpia, head of the secret police, also has a thing for Tosca and that definitely does not bode well for Cavaradossi’s chances of long-term happiness. Tosca’s future chances of happiness also seem remote because after she resists Scarpia’s advances, she ends up being forced to choose between Cavaradossi’s life or life with Scarpia. Her love for Cavaradossi apparently conquers her hatred of Scarpia as she appears to agree to Scarpia’s demands to save Cavaradossi’s life. But as soon as an opportunity presents itself, she proceeds to kill Scarpia, after he has signed the papers freeing Cavaradossi, of course! However, Scarpia has instituted an even more diabolical double cross himself, that still works after his death and Cavaradossi ends up dead, whereupon Tosca commits suicide. If you are feeling withdrawal symptoms now that the ‘Sopranos’ has ended, an evening here at the Vail Leavitt seems a great way to fill the void! In this production, the role of the tempestuous Tosca will be sung by Julia Rolwing, a newcomer to the company but a soprano who comes with an impressive resume of international engagements plus being a winner of a scholarship award from the prestigious Liederkranz Foundation of New York this year . Those who saw last year’s production of Madama Butterfly, will remember Ta’u Pupu’a, the ex NFL Baltimore Raven football player, whose strong and developing tenor voice plus a commanding stage presence gave strong hints of very good things to come. Ta’u will sing Cavaradossi and Barbara Giancola was full of praise for both of these singers, ‘Julia has a beautiful shimmering voice and Ta’u has developed so much of his potential and recently sang this role with another company in New York and received a tremendous reception.’ Zurab Ninia is now well known to regular patrons of the company and in this production he is cast as the wicked Scarpia. Zurab has been receiving more and more notice from some of the very top operatic agents and this will be his first time singing this role. Again those who heard Nathan Baer’s incredible bass voice singing a range of spirituals at one of last year’s performances will be looking forward to hearing this long bearded bass as the political prisoner, Angelotti. Another regular singer, Anthony Tolve takes the role of the spy Spoletta. Anthony is a singer whom Barbara also highly praised and look for him to sing a major role in one of the season’s later productions. The stage director for this produc-

tion is Linda Lehr, who did such an imaginative production of ‘Madama Butterfly’ last season and the indefatigable Charles Bosselman shows his versatility as he combines the work of Stage Manager with the roles of the Sacristan and the Jailer Opera of the Hamptons will also have two productions in a new vineyard setting on the North Fork. On July 21 that perennial favorite, ‘La Boheme’ will be staged at Dr. Dan Damianos’s new Duck Walk North Winery in Southold and then on August 18 there will be an evening of ‘Opera to Broadway’ at the same venue. The final production also will break

new ground when ‘La Traviata’ is staged at the Southampton Cultural Center on September 8. One final point about ‘Tosca’ the show has been set for 5.30 p.m. in response to suggestions from patrons. It will also allow for an early pre theater dinner or of course after theater dining at one of the many very good restaurants that now grace Riverhead, which is now beginning to rival Greenport as a great town for dining. Incidentally, Parto’s Italian restaurant, right across from the theater is offering a 10% discount to opera patrons on the day of the performance.

Dan’s North Fork You can sit indoors in the coolness and enjoy the Chowder Pot’s comfortable atmosphere, but at this time of the year, sitting outside on a warm sunny day, on their splendid deck, with its wonderful view of Peconic Bay and Shelter Island, while sipping a glass of wine and looking through an imaginative menu to decide what you fancy to eat, really can’t be beaten. The wine that Dean Eichorn, co-owner with Jim Dubovick of the Chowder Pot, wanted us to try on this visit was their new house red, Silver King, specially made for them by Eric Fry at Lenz Winery. It is a blend of cabernet franc, merlot, petit vedot and malbec and the result, as you would expect from Eric, is a very drinkable wine that is fruit forward with a pleasant bouquet and long finish that is very adaptable, either to drink alone or with food such as salmon, or tuna or indeed a good steak.

The Chowder Pot Pub 194 3rd Street Greenport 631-477-1345 Jim Mirondik is now in his 13th year as chef and he provides food for all tastes. We started with a selection of oysters and clams on the half shell. Both were superbly fresh, redolent of the sea and were a great way to start a meal. From the other appetizers we chose a dish prepared by broiling a portobello mushroom topped with blue crab meat and three cheeses and roasted red peppers. This combination really worked well and all the tastes blended into a

pleasant fullness, without swamping the delicacy of the excellent crabmeat. Next, we sampled one of their range of famous chowders and the New England clam version did not disappoint. It was creamy but not too thick, without any cloying tastes and included a lot of clams. I don’t think you could ever go wrong with any of their soups based on our visits here. Main courses come with a salad so we shared one made from a great selection of crisp fresh greens and the house dressing known as ’French vinaigrette’ was great. It is a closely kept secret of Dean’s and we would strongly recommend it as a choice, with its tangy blend of fruit flavors with a touch of heat. Creative ways with fish and seafood are a major part of their cuisine and the grilled rainforest glazed tuna was a good example of this. A large piece of perfectly rare tuna (as requested) had a very tasty and piquant glaze with a blend of sweetness, fruit and just the right amount of heat from some fresh chilies. Sunday is ‘Surf & Turf’ night and all of the fish and shellfish selections are paired with a large flavorful strip steak, and our juicy lobster tail went well with it. The portions here are really generous as is the hospitality and warmth of welcome. The desserts are mainly made in house and the selection that Kim, our attentive waitress, read to us all sounded delicious, but we could only manage a taste of an exceptional carrot cake with our usual espresso.

Prices here are very reasonable, considering the quality and quantity of food and that great view. The restaurant is very family friendly and casual. Appetizers range from $6.95 to $13.95: main courses from $17.95 to $23.95 and includes salad and vegetables; you can build your own pasta special our have a sandwich or burger (the French fries are simply superb!). House wines by Lenz are $8 a glass and wines by the bottle range from $17 and up. Dean and his colleagues believe in offering a range of dining options. Monday through Thursday, you can have a burger and movie ticket for $14.95; Monday is also Pasta night and on Thursday is the very popular all you can eat BBQ night. Live music is played on Friday through Sunday and from July 4th the restaurant will be open seven days a week. The Chowder Pot Pub has now been in business on the waterfront in Greenport since 1978, a wonderful record in an age where restaurant longevity is notoriously brief. However, when you look at the combination of good food, friendly service, family friendly pricing and of course the priceless location, you can only be glad that it is still going strong and hopefully will do so for many years to come. – Roy Bradbrook

Enjoy The Strawberry Festival A Play By Play Of The Best Strawberry Festival In The World By Jessica Gold Craving a strawberry smoothie? Caked in history (strawberry shortcake, that is), the Mattituck Lion’s Club will hold it’s 53rd annual Strawberry Festival and Country Fair from June 1517th. In April of 1954, three members of the Mattituck Lions club were in Florida visiting friends and were invited to the Plant City Strawberry Festival. They had a great time and saw it as a way of raising money for the Lion’s Club to benefit local charities on the North Fork. With that, the Mattituck Lions Club Strawberry Festival was born. This event historically takes place the third weekend of June and falls on Father’s Day; with that day devoted to “Dad.” This year’s event is being chaired by Joe Doorhy and it’s come quite a long way from the first fair on June 16, 1955 where only 1,000 guests attended. This event is packed to the rafters with over 30,000 attending past fairs. It is so full of fun for every age group; featuring carnival rides, plenty to eat and events everyday. Stop by on any one of the three days and there will be plenty of strawberries and fun available for everyone. The Lion’s Club is known for its generosity and kindness, as they do a tremendous amount for the community. Some of the beneficiaries of their good will (and profits from strawberries) are: Make a Wish Foundation, Boy Scouts, Little Flower Children’s Home, Helen Keller Services, Lion’s Talking Books, Guide Dog Foundation, Cleary School for the Deaf, and numerous other charitable organizations and people in need. In addition, they rely on sponsors to make this event come to fruition. This year’s major sponsors include: North Fork Bank, Century-21 Agawan-Albertson Real Estate, Lucas Ford, Lincoln-Mercury, Newsday, WHS Materials and North Fork Self Storage. Each year, keeping with tradition since 1956, a bevy of beautiful young women compete for the title of Strawberry Festival Queen. This year Kristin Zeleski of Mattituck will be passing on her crown to the newest lucky winner. The winning girl poses in her beautiful white dress with red sash before a crowd of thousands. In addition, the International Federation of Competitive Eating has a posting on its site about the strawberry shortcake-eating contest, encouraging it’s heavy hitters (or heavy eaters) to come out and register to compete. They are hoping for a record breaker this year! The festival opens on Friday, June 15th with a pay-one-price carnival beginning at 6 p.m. Fireworks will explode high above the festival at 9 p.m. and from 6:30-10:30 p.m. the band Southbound, a 6-piece Southern/classic/80s rock band will be playing and is guaranteed to have the festival crowd up and rocking. On Saturday, June 16th, the fair opens at 10 a.m. with the Pay One Price carnival. From 3-4 the festival queen is selected, 9 p.m. is fireworks and the entertainment is never ending with Assisted Living, Who R those Guys and Southbound performing. Sunday, June 17th is dad’s day. Dad gets to ride free on the funfilled rides when accompanied by a child. Crowds will gather from far and wide from 1-2 p.m. to see if a record-breaker is in the midst for the 1st annual Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest. Raffle winners will be announced at 2 p.m. and entertainment

will be provided by Who R those Guys and Mulligan. The festival shuts down at around 5 p.m. and the Lion’s Club begins planning for next year’s event (probably over Strawberry Daiquiri’s). The festival also features an array of craft vendors, business vendors, and an international food court with too many delicious foods to count and vision screening. It is requested that you bring down

glasses that you are no longer using for the eye-glass donation program. Your spare pair of glasses laying around on your coffee table collecting dust can benefit someone in need. The festival is also looking for volunteers on June 14th (the night before the festival begins) to prep the strawberries for their big day. It’s a fun time for helping and being part of the excitement of the event. For more information on the festival that’s sure to be jamming, please call 631-298-2222 or visit their website http://www.mattitucklionsclub.org/StrawberryFestival .html for directions and information.

Dan’s North Fork OVER

THE BARREL...

with Lenn Thompson

Reds to Match the Whites One of the exciting things about watching an emerging wine region like Long Island is seeing winemakers and wineries grow and really it their strides. In recent years, amateur-turned-professional winemaker Jim Waters has garnered quite a reputation on the North Fork—particularly for his white wines. His Riesling and gewüürztraminer, both made in a dry Alsatian style, combine beautiful aromatics and balanced palates and are among our region’s best aromatic whites. The reds at Waters Crest Winery, however, have lagged behind a bit. Sure, Waters has always done nice things with a richer, cocoa-tinged cabernet franc and serviceable, if simple, merlots. But the whites made his tiny Cutchogue tasting room a must-stop destination—and with good reason. But that is changing. Waters Crest Winery’s latest red releases—all from the 2004 vintage—show that the winemaker is only now coming into his own. Waters Crest Winery 2004 Cabernet Franc Private Reserve ($35) is ripe, spicy wine that should develop even further in coming months (and years). Made with 100% free-run juice and aged for 14 months in new French oak, the blackberry nose is complex with layers of black pepper, violets, smoked meat and dusty dark cocoa. Medium bodied, concentrated and a little meaty, the palate offers loads of black fruit and spice as well. Lightly tripping tannins provide just the right structure. When tasted a few months ago upon its release, Waters Crest Winery’s 2004 Campania Rosso

Calendar

($40), a blend of 80% merlot, 10% cabernet franc, 6% cabernet sauvignon and 4% malbec was taut and somewhat uninteresting. But, in subsequent tast-

ings—the most recent only a week ago—the wine has blossomed nicely. A mélange of red and black fruits, particularly plum and cherry, mingle with sweet vanilla and cinnamon on the nose. Elegant and classy, the tannins are ripe and well incorporated and the balance of fruit, spice and structure is impressive. Waters Crest is one of Long Island’s smallest producers, but their 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon ($55) takes “small batch” wine to a new level. With only 24 cases made, it is available only to the wine club. Bold and full bodied, blackberries, blueberry jam, vanilla and a faint eucalyptus note combine in a ripe, expressive nose. There is deep extraction here and substantial tannins, but even in its youth the dark fruit and vanilla flavors hint to a great future. The aging potential is big here. Even among this impressive roster of reds, the Waters Crest Winery 2004 Merlot Private Reserve ($36) stands out. By far the best merlot to come out of the winery, black raspberry, black plum, black cherry, smoky oak, vanilla, brown spice intermingle on a nose that fills the room given an hour in your glass. Though still quite young (the tannins are slightly astringent now) this full-flavored merlot is driven by blackberry and black cherry flavors that are ripe, but not jammy with a faint chocolate-mint note on a lengthy finish. Much like the cabernet, patience will be rewarded here. Buy some and cellar it for at least another year and up to seven. Waters is revamping his winery’s website, but for more information you can call 734-5065or email him directly at watercrest@optonline.net.
