Before he became a part of her family, he was a part of ours. Bideawee’s trainers taught him to be wellbehaved. Our animal hospitals made sure he was healthy and our matchmakers and volunteers made sure that he was properly socialized so he’s prepared for their life-long journey together. For 110 years, Bideawee has been bringing together pets and people for the journey of a lifetime.

“Along with the New York Subway System, Hamptons Subway is the only underground transit system in the State of New York.”

The H amptons Subway Newsletter By DAn rattiner

Week of July 13–19, 2013 Riders this past week: 13,882 Rider miles this past week: 103,333 DOWN IN THE TUBE Taylor Plimpton was seen riding the subway between the Georgica and Wainscott stops. He said he just wanted to see what the subway was all about. Paul McCartney was seen on the subway heading from Amagansett to East Hampton, carrying a copy of the first Beatles album from 1963. Wall Street’s Ken Lipper was seen on the Southampton platform token booth having his swipe card reloaded. THE CYCLONE The Hampton Jitney has its fast Bonacker train that goes from Manhattan to East Hampton without stopping on Friday afternoons. The Long Island Railroad has the famous Cannonball that does pretty much the same thing. Everybody please welcome (round of applause)…the Hampton Subway Cyclone. The Cylone goes around and around the circuit of

all the subway stops in the Hamptons without stopping anywhere along the way. It’s like the Jitney and the LIRR. But it’s not like those two. It’s completely unique. As everybody is already here in the Hamptons, there is no need for the Cyclone to stop. It starts at our Westhampton Beach station, everybody is told to hang on tight, and then it takes off to the east along our express track, passing station after station, making a U-turn when it gets to Montauk, and then still without stopping come all the way back to finally stop again in Westhampton Beach to let everybody off. There is the great roller coaster ride out at Coney Island that sort of does the same thing as this. You get on at a starting point, go up and down and around on this terrifying ride, and get off where you started. It’s called the Cyclone, and we’ve named our high-speed train the Cyclone, too. Bon voyage. REFURBISHING THE CARS The editors of the Hampton Subway Newsletter hereby go on record to say that practically all the subway cars in the system need to be junked. We need new ones. No new one has

July 12, 2013 Page 43 been purchased in 15 years. And so once again, after the heavy work over the Fourth of July weekend, most of the cars have suffered wear and tear with interior seats getting wobbly, overhead straps coming loose, axles getting bent, shock absorbers crushed, light bulbs burning out, springs and inter-car couplers beginning to rattle. One by one, as happened last year, the cars are being removed from service for much-needed overhauls and renovations out at the Montauk yards. There are 38 cars on the system overall. Riders won’t notice the difference, but every eight hours another car gets uncoupled out at Montauk and goes into the sprucing-up barn while one just finished getting spruced takes its place. Overall, during the next 13 days, all the cars will be getting a going over, but make no mistake. Duct tape, chewing gum, rubber bands and bungee cords can only keep these cars going for so long. It’s time for a capital purchase of all new cars and, frankly, we hope soon. THE HAMPTON SUBWAY TRIPLE MARATHON “The Subway Run for Charity” will take place early next Monday morning at 2 a.m., when the subway closes for the night, with a shotgun start—runners will leave all at the same time from each of the 17 stations—to run counterclockwise the 64 miles around the subway circuit for charity. Last year, nearly 2,000 runners ran the triple marathon. See you there. COMMISSIONER ASPINALL’S MESSAGE After the rough Fourth of July weekend, my wife and I are enjoying a nice week’s vacation in Las Vegas. Wish us luck.

When in Bridgehampton, please visit By David lion rattiner

Stolen Range Rover A 2012 Range Rover was reported stolen from a driveway in East Hampton. The owner told police that he had come out to the Hamptons and that the car was packed with his summer clothes. Man, good thing it’s been too hot out— how many clothes do you really need?

Caught Again A man in Southampton Village was peppersprayed after police pulled him over for erratic driving, only to learn that his license had been revoked four times and that he was on probation. When police arrested the man and tried to put him in the back seat of the squad car, he made a run for it, but officers were able to catch him on foot and brought him down using pepper spray. He was placed for a second time in the squad car and brought to jail. If this guy saw just ONE episode of COPS, he’d know not to do that. More Than Pepper Spray Police in Southampton arrested a man who was in possession of pepper spray, a baton and marijuana. And in case you’re wondering, the pepper spray was not being used to spice up his Taco Bell burritos.

Shelter Island Old Man McGumbus, 102 years old, current Grand Chairman of the Ancient Order of Shelter Island Noblemen, and former World War II tank gunner, was arrested last week for the illegal use of a baseball bat and destruction of property. McGumbus, during the championship game of senior softball on Shelter Island, became upset by a call at the plate by the umpire. In a brief moment of rage, McGumbus walked out into the parking lot carrying a metal baseball bat and smashed all of the windows and headlights of the umpire’s car. Police did not arrest McGumbus until the game was over, noting later that he’s a vital player to his team, The Shelter Island Bazookas. He went 3 for 4 with a single, a double and a homerun, and he took first base after being hit in the hip by a pitch. The Bazookas won the game 5 to 3 in extra innings.

Finished the Job A house that caught fire in Amagansett last week and was put out by the Amagansett Fire Department needed to be doused again a few days later after the fire rekindled itself. When the fire was put out for a second time, firefighters remained extra cautious to make sure that the fire was, in fact, dead. Ever see that movie where the bad guy gets shot and then wakes up, only to be shot again by the good guy? It was one of those days for the AFD.

Was That Him? The Possible Stephanopoulos Encounter at Nick & Toni’s in East Hampton By Dan Rattiner

In the early days of what is now “the Hamptons,” we had celebrities, but they were few and far between, out here for privacy and, as far we locals were concerned, persons to be left alone. If we were in a restaurant back then and, say, Billy Joel were to come in and sit down with his family, we’d say to one another, “that’s Billy Joel over there,” and then we’d go back to eating our dinner. It is, of course, not that way anymore. And to give you a rough idea of how this works these days, I would like to describe the experience my wife and I had last Friday night when we made a dinner reservation and then walked into Nick & Toni’s restaurant to be seated by Bonnie Munshin in the first table on the left as you enter the dining area, which is, according to The New York Times, the pinnacle power table at the most celebrity-central restaurant in the Hamptons. From this table, and specifically from the seat I sat in, you can see everybody who is coming into the restaurant, and of course they can see you. A week ago Sunday, Bonnie’s picture occupied the entire top of the front page of The New York Times fashion and style section, and in the article, she was described as the most important person in the Hamptons. She decides where you sit at Nick & Toni’s. I was so elated to have this honor—it was a first—that I talked to her about the article in

the Times and asked her what had come of it and had she had any interesting encounters about it. “Everybody talks about it,” she said, “and I have to say, everybody has just been really nice to me about it.” I thought, well, everybody wants this table. I also learned in talking to her that she has been at Nick & Toni’s since its founding 25 years ago, and at that point I asked her if she had been here before that, and she said she had. “Remember Ma Bergman’s?” I asked. She did. Ma Bergman was the heavyset Italian woman who, along with her husband and children, ran the restaurant in this building before Nick & Toni’s came along. Ma Bergman was a warm, friendly woman, and her restaurant was a local favorite. You’d meet the coach of the high school football team and his family here. You’d meet your dentist and his wife here. “Do you remember that her daughter did her homework in this main dining room while we ate?” “All her kids did,” she recalled. “They lived upstairs.” We ordered our dinner. The restaurant filled with people. Some people came in to sit at the table behind us, the number two table. The olives and bread came. The drinks came. The salad came. “I think that man sitting behind you is George Stephanopoulos,” my (Cont’d on next page)

George (Continued from previous page) wife said. I had noticed when we started our dinner that the man in that family had tried to take the seat behind me but had nudged my chair, causing me to move my chair in so he could get in to sit at table two. We were now back-to-back. “You think?” “It looks like him,” she said. “I’m pretty sure.” I had an urge to turn around and see if it was him. I remember him when he was in his 30s and a hotshot aide to Bill Clinton when he was President. I’ve watched him as a news broadcaster on TV. As a talk show host. I tried turning my head a little, but I would not allow myself to fully turn around. Since we were back-to-back, it would have meant making a ruckus, and how rude would that be? So I really couldn’t see him, and so was neither able to confirm or deny the presence of George Stephanopoulos. We ate in silence for a while. I have never met George Stephanopoulos. I’d like to. I’d like to do an interview of him for the paper. I began to hope that someone coming in might come over to him and say “Hello, George, how are ya’?” confirming that it was George Stephanopoulos, or, even better, saying “Hello, George,” and then seeing me and saying “Oh hi Dan, hey there’s Dan, I enjoy your paper.” And then I would be in the conversation and could turn fully around, but that didn’t happen, either. I eavesdropped a bit, or at least tried to. It was noisy in the restaurant now, so I only got

bits and pieces. A pretty young woman on his right, who I could see by turning just a little bit, talked about private schools not in New York, and George agreeably came into that conversation. Then somebody talked about something else and there was a brief discussion about it with voices raised, but I couldn’t make it out. We finished our salad. Our main courses arrived. My favorite is the oven-roasted, crisp chicken with crushed baked potatoes and bits of pancetta. That’s a favorite of a lot of people at this restaurant. When dinner ended and I paid the check, I realized that I had to go to the restroom and that would give me the option to get up and walk past table number two, at which time I would be able to nonchalantly confirm or deny if the man sitting back-to-back with me all this time was indeed George Stephanopoulos, as my wife thought. “I’ll be right back,” I told my wife, as I got to my feet. “You just go,” she said. “I’ll wait for you out front.” And so she got up too, and at that point I stepped out into the aisle, turned and confirmed that the man behind me was not George Stephanopoulos. I looked a second time on my way back. Not him. “I think it was,” my wife said when I got out front. “Not, not at all,” I said. “I know what he looks like. His face was too thin.” We walked out toward the car. I thought

briefly about how much time had been taken up at our table about George Stephanopoulos. “No, it was him,” she continued. And so we got in our car and drove back up Three Mile Harbor to home. Well, now that I think about it, maybe it WAS him. As a matter of fact, now that I think further about it, it occurs to me that perhaps in recent years, as he’s grown older, his face has thinned out a bit. But then there was the voice. At times, I could hear the tone of voice he spoke in and it definitely was not the tone of voice of the George Stephanopoulos I know. But then, maybe that was the voice of the man sitting opposite to him, who just spoke normally louder than George Stephanopoulos. Some final thoughts. We no longer say George Stephanopoulos. We say newsman George Stephanopoulos, as in “newsman George Stephanopoulos was seen eating with his family at Nick & Toni’s.” And then there would be “Dan’s Papers founder and editor in chief Dan Rattiner blah, blah, blah.” Off by the kitchen, however, I thought I saw the ghost of Ma Bergman, standing happily there in her apron, holding a tomato sauce ladle, surveying the crowd and wondering if the place would fill up to the point that her daughter would have give up her table, pack up her papers and go upstairs to finish her homework.

Winklevoss If You Lend Money to a Friend It Often Means You Won’t Get It Back By Dan Rattiner

omething I don’t understand is why people have always got to pay what the banks lend them. I have a friend in hard times I lend money to. He calls it a loan. I know he is not going to pay it back. He says the loan is just to help him “get back on his feet.” We both understand that unless he wins the Lottery I won’t see that money again. I understand that banks should pay back loans they lend to one another. Honor is involved. They are the professionals. If you can’t trust one another who can you trust etc. etc. But why should that extend to the rest of us? How many of us, when we took out large mortgages in 2006, were relying on the soothing words of the bankers. We put ourselves in their hands. The lengths that banks go to to get their loans paid back is amazing to me. You thought that countries were the most powerful entities on the planet. Bankers are currently bringing certain countries to their knees. Huge hardships are demanded of the people who live in these countries. They lose their jobs. They are living hand to mouth. Most of these countries have big armies, or anyway medium sized1 armies. The Dan's Banner Clocks_Layout 5/18/12 9:44 AM bankers Page 1

have no weapons. What is wrong with this picture? The only country that stood up to these banks during this recent recession was Iceland. They threw all the bankers out, the debts unpaid. Then they started over. In the current circumstances, the residents of Greece are suffering terribly. Spain is suffering. Cyprus is suffering. Even America, the strongest country in the world, is buckling under. We are cutting service. We suffered a slight downgrade in the rating of U.S. credit from AAA to AA+ and that was it. There is now less childcare, education, health. And we hope the rating will soon be restored. Celebrations will begin everywhere when it is. What an accomplishment! Thank goodness we cut healthcare, education and childcare. Of course they stay cut. A few years ago, video game people began developing “money” you could win if you beat the monster and got to the upper levels. The “money” had no value, except to people playing the game. You could buy “things” with this money, for example an “AK47 Machine Gun” that, on your screen, would help you get to the upper level faster. About five years ago, some Silicon Valley people took it a step further. They started using something they called Bitcoins, and these

Bitcoins could be used not only for make believe things, but for real things among the geeks in Silicon Valley. Not only did those living in the cyber world trade them, but various merchants in the valley began accepting them. I’ve seen this phenomenon in certain resort islands I have visited, although not in the Hamptons. The resort issues “scrip.” It has the name of the island on it. And you get a bigger bang for the buck when you use the “scrip” than when you use the dollar. Such phenomena come and go. But this is different. The creators of Bitcoins are smart. They decided that if Bitcoins were to become a viable alternative on a wider scale than just in the immediate area, they’d have to limit it. They could do that. After all, you can’t counterfeit Bitcoins. They don’t exist. An easy fix, of course, would be to link Bitcoins to the dollar, but that leads you down the garden path to having Bitcoins just be another currency, like the Shekel or the Pound or the Ruble. So instead, the Bitcoin people dug deeper. They realized that all modern currencies are linked to one another but also are linked to a physical element: gold. You dug up gold. Currency would be the calling card of gold. And it would be limited to (Cont’d on next page)

the amount of gold that could be dug up. What could a currency that did not exist in the physical world be linked to? The Geeks decided to link it to something else that does not exist in the real world, the ability of mathematical geniuses to solve complex formulas. There is a lot we don’t know about the world. There is no dearth of formulas. But solving them is another matter. At the present time, there are mathematicians working away solving formulas. When they solve one, from the sweat of their collective brows, it means they can create more Bitcoins. The total number of Bitcoins allowed is 21 million. When we get to that, that’s it. Currently, there are 11 million. But there are a lot of mathematical formulas waiting to be solved. Into this situation have now come the Winklevoss Twins. You recall them. They are the big muscular fellows who rowed crew for Harvard, claimed they started up a social media for fellow students there and elsewhere which they later claimed that Mark Zuckerberg stole and enlarged into Facebook. When he became a billionaire, they sued him. Zuckerberg settled, rather than go to war with them. I think the Winklevosses each got about $30 million, a drop in the bucket as far as Zuckerberg was concerned. About a year ago, some banker types, without the approval of the original Bitcoin people, began linking its value to the dollar and doing “trading” in Bitcoin. Who could stop them? Nobody. For the first year, the value of a Bitcoin

About a year ago, some banker types, without the approval of the original Bitcoin people, began linking its value to the dollar... hovered around $15. But then it caught fire. Everybody wanted them. This past Spring, the value of a Bitcoin leaped to $250, then settled back. Currently if you want one it will cost you $75. Hmmm. Now the Winklevoss Twins have announced that they are opening an exchange for Bitcoin. It will be like the current exchanges you read about for copper or hog bellies or gold. But they will run it. It is to be called Index Universe. And what they will do is put up the daily prices of Bitcoin, track them higher and lower, buy and sell, and take a small cut of each transaction. They are looking for approval from bank regulators for this new product. I have no doubt they will get these approvals because it is quite clear that Bitcoin, unregulated, could mean the death of money. Approving it will tractor beam it all into the system, thereby ending the problem. When the White Men first came to Long Island, they were met by the original Indian tribes who, among other things, offered to trade some of the unique goods the White Men brought—gunpowder, swords, belt buckles, hats—for what they called Wampum.

The Indian tribes got Wampum from the beaches of Montauk where a particular kind of clamshell was to be found. They’d punch a hole in each clamshell, then string them together on leather strips and worn as necklaces. From a certain perspective, you could say either they had the money or they didn’t, and you could see it right there. The tribe in charge of making the Wampum was the local tribe known as the Montauketts. They’d find the shells, string them, and then either gift them to others, trade them to others, or be robbed of them by others. That way Wampum would circulate through the various tribes on Long Island all the way to the other end of Long Island. It was a primitive system. No trading floor, stock exchange, contracts to be signed—you signed a paper!—the Indians had no idea about that. When the daughter of Wyandanch, chief of the Montauks, made a treaty with the Montauks and the White Men, she signed her name with an “X.” She didn’t even know what X meant. And she surely didn’t know the White Men would now take over the land and kick them off. There was honor and a person’s word of course. But Wampum was not that important and did not rule the world. There is no story from the Indian world about any tribe that couldn’t give Wampum back and thus was reduced to an impoverished state. That only happened after the White Men arrived.

The TWA Flight 800 Memorial in Shirley

Revisiting a Tragedy New Film Asks Tough Questions About What Happened to TWA Flight 800 By jerry cimisi

he release of a new documentary on the tragedy of TWA Flight 800 has garnered a lot of media attention. The plane, which had taken off from JFK in Queens and was en route to Paris, exploded immediately west of the Hamptons, off the coast of the Moriches, just as dark was settling the night of July 17, 1996, killing all 230 aboard. The investigation by The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the FBI, which was not closed for a full four years, generated a great deal of controversy. Hundreds of eyewitnesses from different vantage points claimed they saw a rising streak in the sky, culminating in an explosion, hence concluding that a missile had hit the plane. Was it a naval accident the government felt it had to deny? There had been classified military maneuvers in the area offshore that night. Or was it terrorism, with the maneuvers that night in response to its possibility, and with the government not wanting to disclose it for fear of making the populace afraid to fly and damage the airline industry? Even if the FBI had said from the very beginning that it had considered the downing of the plane by terrorism a real possibility, eventually the bureau and the NTSB reached a concurring verdict: the plane had been brought down by an explosion in its center wing fuel tank, sparked by an electrical malfunction—an extremely unusual, but not impossible, occurrence. What so many eyewitnesses believed to be a missile was this: after the fuel tank exploded, the front of the plane dropped off and the rest of the body of the craft, thus lightened, rose

up in the sky, aflame. It was then destroyed by a second explosion. The rising plane and the second explosion was what the eyewitnesses had mistaken for a missile. It was not just the many eyewitnesses who were not comfortable with the official account of the tragedy. A number of independent investigators applied their own skills to the matter. There were those with a background in the airline industry, the military, individual private eyes (in most cases hired by family members) and those with a scientific background.

It’s like when you’re riding a bicycle and come to a steep hill: you’re going to ride it more slowly than on a level road. In the latter discipline is Tom Stalcup, a physicist, who, along with journalist Kristina Borjesson, produced TWA Flight 800, which will premiere July 17 on EPIX TV. July 17 marks the 17th anniversary of the downing of Flight 800. (It will also be shown at the Stony Brook Film Festival on Saturday, July 20.) The filmmakers present evidence supporting the theory that a missile did indeed bring down the plane, and that furthermore, the government covered this up. A number of personnel who were involved in the investigation have come forward after all this time and claim they were not allowed to pursue certain channels or analyze certain avenues that would have indicated a missile brought down the plane. For example, in the documentary, Jim Speer,

an accident investigator for the Airline Pilots Association, claims he found a part of the wreckage that had distinct entry and exits holes, and asked that this be tested for explosive residue. The test came back positive, he said. But he was told that this particular test also rendered a lot of false positives. He asserts that he was not allowed to take a photograph of this evidence, and that he never saw it again. Stalcup, a physicist, is president and founder of Upward Innovations, a Massachusetts-based company that makes satellite and cellular transmitters for remote monitoring stations. He was a graduate student at Florida State University in 1997 when he was watching the FBI press conference during which the bureau presented its conclusions of the investigations—and at which the famous (or infamous) CIA animation was shown, depicting the plane climbing after it lost its nose. “It made me feel uneasy,” said Stalcup. “Why was I being presented this by the CIA?” He was also struck by the official statement that no witnesses saw both the plane and a possible missile separately. “I’m kind of a news junkie, I remembered hearing something to the contrary.” Stalcup found that Air National Guardsman Chris Bauer, along with another guardsman, Fred Meyer, witnessed the explosion of Flight 800 when on maneuvers in a Blackhawk helicopter near their base at Gabreski Airport in Westhampton. Bauer claimed to have seen two separate objects in the sky. He was not the only one; there were others, such as Lisa Perry on the eastern end of Fire Island that night, who claimed to have seen a (Cont’d on next page)

TWA (Continued from previous page) missile-like object streak across the sky and hit the plane. Interviewed by this reporter in 1998, she related, “I told the FBI the nose of the plane had come off; and told them this before the navy pulled it out of the water.” The new documentary makes the point that in the final NTSB hearings on the matter, no eyewitnesses were called to testify. Also, the film asserts, when the FBI interviewed eyewitnesses, there was no literal transcript of what the eyewitnesses were asked and what they answered. Instead, the report on each eyewitness was rendered in a summary. And no eyewitness was able to review his or her summary. In fact, Lisa Perry had to get her FBI eyewitness summary through the Freedom of Information Act.

Through the ensuing years, Stalcup began to explore the evidence and circumstances surrounding the incident. He became co-founder of the Flight 800 Independent Researchers Organization (FIRO) in 1999. There have been other documentaries and books about Flight 800 that present views contrary to the official explanation, but they have been little noticed by the media at large. Not so Stalcup’s and Borjesson’s work. Why? “I think it’s because we have whistleblowers, people who actually were in the inside of the investigation coming forward, contradicting what the government told us,” said Stalcup. And why didn’t these whistleblowers come forward 17 years ago? “They were afraid for their jobs, their pensions,” responded Stalcup.

Remarking on the CIA animation (or “cartoon” as its detractors describe it) showing the breakup of the plane, Stalcup related: “The CIA said the plane was at 13,800 feet, the nose comes off, and then the plane makes a sharp, fast rise to 17,000 feet and explodes. In order to climb to that height, the plane would have had to fly much faster than it was. It’s like when you are riding a bicycle and you come to a steep hill; you are going to climb it more slowly than when you are on a level road. The radar data shows no reduction in speed. Also, it shows the plane banking sharply to the left. Any pilot will tell you, you can’t climb when you’re banking.” In researching and writing previously on the Flight 800 controversy, this reporter found that the CIA based its animation largely on the testimony of one witness, Mike Wire, who saw the plane explode from the Beech Lane Bridge in Westhampton Beach. This fact came out in an 85-page transcript of a 1999 meeting between the NTSB and the CIA. Eyewitness 571 in FBI files, Wire contends that the CIA did not render his testimony in a correct manner. The Beach Lane Bridge looks toward a parking lot by the beach. Wire said he saw a light rise up from behind the fourth house to the west of the parking lot, and briefly disappeared above the first house west of the lot; then there was an explosion, which became an orange fireball. Yet the CIA rendering has the explosion occurring over the third house from the lot—in other words, farther east. Critics contend this is to bolster the argument that the plane climbed after it erupted. As the plane was miles off shore, a slight change in a close up perspective would translate into an appreciable distance in regards to the actual position of the plane. But Wire saw the streak of light still climbing past the second house, and witnessed the explosion over the first house from the parking lot. Wire said the FBI has him telling the bureau he figured the explosion to be a half mile away. But he knew it was much farther than that. “There were a lot of seconds before I felt the shock wave,” he said. The plane came down more than 10 miles offshore. Neither the NTSB nor the CIA spoke to Wire directly. None of the investigating agencies took Wire to the scene and had him repeat what he had witnessed. As he had remarked to (Continued on page 74)

Glasgow’s Long-Ago Fashion Illustrations Leap to the Fore

he Hamptons are famous for an effortless chic-meets-classic-prep style that draws fashion gurus from around the world. Something about crisp stripes draped across narrow shoulders and a summer hat tossed atop some beachy waves just chirps “Hamptons.” Pair it with a designer bag, and you’ve got a picture perfect Main Beach denizen. It’s no wonder that Hilda Glasgow’s fashion illustrations from the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s fit as seamlessly with the East End as an Hermes scarf does with a Birkin bag. While Hilda did not grow up or draw on the East End, her illustrations can be found here. Her images graced countless covers of Vogue, Mademoiselle and Glamour, so anyone who picked up a magazine or dropped by a Saks or Macy’s in the last seven decades will have seen her creations. And now, thanks to her daughter Liz Glasgow (shown seated at far right), we can enjoy her sketches in stationery, gift wrap and wallpaper. Three years ago, Liz, a Greenportbased architectural photographer, began cataloguing her mother’s creations, re-creating them on notecards she hoped others would appreciate. Three years, a stationery show, an award and a partnership later, Liz’s business The White Cabinet is flourishing, and her mother’s drawings line shelves and charm shoppers in 550 stores nationwide. Liz is ecstatic about her success, but an even deeper joy stems from the immortality the business has given her mother. She recalls

Help Save a Cemetery Near You This Weekend!

he Southampton Town Historic Division is about to offer something decidedly different to town denizens—Headstone Preservation Workshops, on Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20. Yes, headstones. In cemeteries. The dearly departed deserve to live nicely, just like everyone else. The workshops will be led by Jonathan Appell, Monuments Conservator of New England Cemetery Services. The events will be take place in Southampton’s North End Burying Ground (pictured at right) and East Quogue Methodist Cemetery and they offer hands-on training in treating aging and historic gravestones. Appell, who is the founder of New England Cemetery Services, resides in West Hartford, CT. After attending the Kenneth Warrens & Sons Violin Making School in Chicago, Appell went on to work in cabinet making, masonry and tile work. In 1987, he founded New England Cemetery Services and installed, reset and restored monuments all over Connecticut. Appell soon realized that contemporary treatment methods weren’t appropriate for historic monuments and researched techniques at Cathedral Stone Co. in Washington D.C., as well as the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts. Appell believes that “gravestone conservation and historic stone preservation is the art and science of preserving all we can of our heritage carved in stone.” All this conservation means that Appell is a busy man. “I’ve been doing this fulltime since

The EECO Farm Stand: Fresh, Nutritional, Organic By joan baum

t’s not yet well known, but once you’ve stopped at the EECO Farm Stand on Long Lane in East Hampton, run by Food Pantry Farm (FPF), you’ll be back. “It’s unique,” says Darcy Hutzenlaub, Field Manager for the nonprofit Food Pantry Farm, as she insists a lucky visitor try the last of the crop of strawberries. They’re nutritional, organic and better than anything in supermarkets, no matter how fancy conventional berries look. FPF is five years old; the stand opened Memorial Day weekend, but word is spreading that here you get fresh, locally grown organic vegetables and other products, including flowers, and the profits

from sales go to help support FPF donations to food pantries and hunger organizations on the East End. FPF board members, along with FPF founder, director and Farm Manager Peter Garnham, who is a Master Gardener, thought a farm stand could be a way of “supplementing FPF income which relies entirely on generous donations.” And so, with board support, the idea took root. For the board members, support also means feet on the ground. John Malafronte, a former bond salesman on Wall Street (and the recent recipient of the Press News Group Community First Award—he’s too modest to say so himself); Bruce Warr (shown at right with Brandon Daige), a retired statistician with a Ph.D. in German

26695

Literature; and Ira-Bezoza, a retired lawyer, seem to live at the farm and at the stand. “Larry, the carpenter” is also on hand, tending to the stand and shed, which houses Paul Muller’s cookies and brownies, Caitlin Baringer’s pies, Kathy and Charles MGarty’s jams and Robyn Blackley’s honey, made from hives on site. He laughingly asked not to be mentioned, but his dedication was so palpable, it’s difficult not to note it. FPF, whose mission is to grow and donate fresh, organic produce for food pantries, has been especially overburdened in the last few years because of the sluggish economy. It leases 4.25 acres from East End Community Organic (EECO) Farm. EECO Farm, a volunteer nonprofit organization off Long Lane is now celebrating its tenth year. It leases land from the town— 42 acres that are parceled out as 20’ X 20’ plots to individuals and families, and larger pieces of land to commercial farmers, all of whom pledge to abide by the organic guidelines promulgated by the Northeast Organic Farming Association. In turn, EECO Farm provides its gardeners with water, compost and advice. FPF is the only nonprofit tenant at EECO Farm. Community is embraced here, as Darcy says. Although the stand is open only until the end of the summer, a state-of-the-art greenhouse will extend the growing season. Indeed, nestled in seedling trays inside, visitors can already see shoots poking through the soil, a marker indicating that corn is on the way. Darcy, who will become FPF Manager in August, could not be more enthusiastic about the whole enterprise. A New Jersey transplant and former event planner, she became a local, living with Bonackers for a while and becoming passionate about healthy food and caring for those in need. FPF was an inevitable destination. Forget your impression of The Hamptons as America’s upscale playground. There are poor people on the East End who are also proud people, some loath about going to a food pantry, so Darcy is pleased if she can encourage some of them to work at the farm. It’s also heartwarming when young people come on board as farmers. And she is delighted that FPF has been and continues to be the recipient of generous donations. Last year FPF was able to donate 17 tons of fresh, organic produce to five East End food pantries and a women’s shelter. That’s about $3 worth of food for every $1 donated. As for what is sold at the farm stand, he suggests that in comparison with similar places, FPF is “more than competitive.” But who buys from FPF because of the price? There is, indeed, a feel-good spirit about the place. Farm stand workers Kris Bel and Jack Castoro, the only paid workers, tend to bound out joyfully whenever a car pulls up. And when it does, as Darcy, John, Bruce and Ira observe, folks read the mission statement on the wall and nod in agreement. Look for upcoming FPF fundraising activities, including a Run for Hunger around the farm; and a Kickstarter for a Save the Orchard project to restore an orchard and create a permaculture habitat for small livestock and bees. The FPF stand is open on Fri. Sat. & Sun. from 9–6. For more info, email: contact@foodpantryfarm.org.

he meat on the grill isn’t the only thing that’s hot about the GrillHampton cooking competition and tasting event. Über hot band New Life Crisis will be performing at GrillHampton on Friday, July 12. If you’re new to the East End, or have been living under a giant Cronut (hey, it beats a rock), there are a few things you’ll need to know about New Life Crisis (NLC) before heading to Sayre Park in Bridgehampton for the big night. •Lead singer and acoustic guitarist Paul Mahos at the helm, drummer Steve O’Brien keeping the frantic beat, and lead/bass guitarist extraordinaire Jeff Allegue combine forces and their passion for music to create high-energy dance music from the ’70s,’80s and ’90s— rock and party, creating a dynamic, unique onstage concert experience with fresh takes on everything from Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash and Elvis to Cee Lo Green, U2, David Bowie, Elton John, Muse, Barry White and the Bee Gees. •Although NLC is a well-known dance band playing in all the popular clubs and restaurants on the East End such as Dockers Waterside in East Quogue, Agave in Westhampton, Tiderunners, Oakland’s and Dream in Hampton Bays, 75 Main, Southampton Social Club and 230 Elm in Southampton, as well as Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett and Montauk’s Gurneys Inn, the band has had a long history with their original music. In 2000, their debut single, “Daylight,”

appeared on MTV’s platinum-selling Party to Go Remixed. “Daylight” was also recorded by the European group No Angels, and in 2001 and 2002 it sold more than 3 million copies worldwide and was nominated as “the No #1 Song of the summer.” •New Life Crisis’s original music has been featured in television and film, including on The Guiding Light, Laguna Beach, The Real O.C. and The Opie and Anthony Show. In 2011 the band appeared on the USA Network hit show Royal Pains performing two original songs, “When Daylight Comes” and “Promises.” •New Life Crisis has released three CDs: Paul Mahos and New Life Crisis, featuring “Dirty Little Girl” and “Promiss,” Three to Get Ready and most recently released, Odyssey; a mash-up of covers performed to a high-energy dance beat. •Mahos has done a variety of acting/singing in his career, including Broadway and OffBroadway plays, most notably in the national tour of Elvis: A Musical Celebration, which ran at the Las Vegas Hilton. Mahos also performed as Bono in a U2 tribute band that toured internationally, as well as in the Legends Shows (Imperial Palace) and the Freemont Street Experience Las Vegas. •Lead guitar/bass player Jeff Allegue has played with Joan Jett and is a founding member of the multi-platinum-selling Trans-Siberian Orchestra. •Allegue recently released a guitar solo CD, The Lovely Savages, which was critically acclaimed, most notably by guitar legend Al Di

In 2008 their original song “Breaking” was featured on the long time running daytime soap opera Guiding Light. In 2009 and 2010, the band was voted “The No #1 Band in the Hamptons of Long Island, New York” by Hamptons.com. In 2012, NLC was awarded “Best of the Best” band in the Hamptons by Dan’s Papers!

Spearfishing in Hampton Bays By alex goetzfried

Spearfishing isn’t for the faint of heart, or the weak of hand...

consists of two parallel rock piles facing south. On the beach side of either rock pile, it is legal to dive. The north side where the rocks cut east and west into the bay on opposite sides is where most disagreements between divers and law enforcement occur. Divers fear being ticketed for diving where the bay and the inlet meet. These “gray areas,”

according to Southampton Town Trustee Ed Warner Jr., are borders on the water that are hard to delineate. The gray areas exist where channels end and the Shinnecock Bay begins. Any channel is illegal to dive, but where the channel ends can be difficult to determine, according to Warner. On a navigational map, the boundaries are clearly (Continued on page 68)

Now at the Legendary American Hotel in Sag Harbor • 45 main street

t is a Tuesday in July 2009, a warm summer afternoon at the beach on the Shinnecock Inlet in Hampton Bays. Fifty yards offshore, a black blob slowly emerges under the cover of a pile of seaweed. A Department of Environmental Conservation officer, standing on the rocks, scans the water for movement and waits. Sean McSherry slowly lifts his head out of the water, surfacing from a two-minute dive on a single breath of air. He pulls in a long, deep breath through his snorkel, and replenishes his oxygen-starved lungs. As he peers out of the water, McSherry sees the navy blue outline of the DEC officer’s SUV, and the yellow letters on the side. They have tried to ticket him for spearfishing in the past, and McSherry isn’t in the mood for another talk with law enforcement, so he slinks back under the pile of seaweed and waits the officer out. In 2009, only a handful of local guys would have been suspected of free diving and spear fishing, McSherry being one of them. But today more and more people are diving in an area with strong currents and murky water. It’s a dangerous sport, and law enforcement is now cracking down harder than ever. The relationship, if there ever was one, between free-diving spear fishermen and local law enforcement in the Shinnecock area over the last few years has all but completely disintegrated. The Shinnecock Inlet is a waterway connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Shinnecock Bay. It

Waging War Games in New Riverhead Store

iverhead is quickly becoming the place to look to on the East End. The Suffolk Theater has helped to revitalize the town, the Long Island Aquarium is a great spot for families to visit and expansions and restorations are in development, like the Riverside project. The cultural renaissance in the historic village is greatly encouraging, and a new store opening is about to attract an entirely new crowd. TheWarStore.com, an online store and community website specializing in Europeanstyle board games and card games, has set up a brick-and-mortar shop downtown and is set to serve as a mecca for geeks of all ages. As a lifelong fan of video games and computer games, it was fascinating to talk to someone who has taken a similar “niche” interest and made a successful career out of it. Southold native Neal Catapano launched the TheWarStore.com in 1999 when the lifelong gamer decided to turn his hobby into his profession. Having worked in retail his entire life—you may recognize his name from his family’s Southold farm— Catapano wanted to create the ultimate online gaming store. “It was always my hobby,” Catapano explains, “and when the internet started in the mid-’90s, I looked online at some of the stores. I’d always worked with my father in retail, and I thought I could do it better than the others.” Catapano opened the online store with the philosophy that the customer should always come first, something he learned from his father. Being customer-friendly paid off for TheWarStore.com, as a tight-knit local community of like-minded gamers soon developed on the site. Catapano believes the new physical store will be a boon for the community. “Half of the store is tables for games,” he says. In addition to tabletops for easy gaming, Catapano hopes to set up a LAN network of five computers so customers can organize multiplayer competitions in the shop. But the store isn’t just for the hardcore gamer; Catapano notes that the store will carry everything from Magic: The Gathering cards to Uno, though the store is undeniably going to be popular with the gamer crowd, which Catapano says is a niche that “many people don’t even know about!” Here’s a quick primer on one of the games the shop specializes in. Magic: The Gathering is a trading card game created by Wizards of the Coast in 1993. Originally designed by University of Pennsylvania doctoral candidate Richard Garfield, the high-fantasy setting and addictive competitive gameplay made the game a great success. Players start each game with 20 points and loses when all the points are depleted. There’s much more to the game, with special cards, a complex rule system and countless expansion packs. Major tournaments are held all over the world and there are books on how to

Whether a diver is considered in or out of a channel, according to Warner, depends on the judgment of the law enforcement officer on the scene. For local experienced free divers, referring to where a channel ends as a “gray area” and leaving the determination up to the officer is not a distinct enough line of legality.

McSherry, 42, a Hampton Bays native, was diving the beach south west of the western rock pile in July of 2009 when the DEC was waiting for him. Eventually the officer left, and he went back to diving. There have been too many stories of guys getting pulled out of the water and written tickets (Continued on page 70)

marked, but in a large body of water, with strong currents, law enforcement officers can only use GPS markers and their own judgment to determine if a diver is technically in a channel or not. The only law pertaining to diving in the area that both the divers and law enforcement agree upon is that diving the center of the inlet, also a channel, and a federal waterway, is dangerous and illegal. The Coast Guard, DEC and Bay Constables police the area. DEC enforces laws dealing with fishing, and the Bay Constable’s jurisdiction deals with the dive areas and diving. The Coast Guard has jurisdiction over everything, but usually handles rescues and relinquishes power to local police forces to regulate diving and fishing.

ith Paul Reiser coming to the stage at Bay Street Theatre on July 15, we grabbed the opportunity to converse with the multi-talented actor—perhaps best known for his role on the long-running sitcom Mad About You, which he also co-created. We dove into discussing Reiser’s stand-up, recent projects and a hidden talent (more on that later). Reiser was named the 77th Greatest Standup of All Time by Comedy Central in 2004. “I’m not sure what that means, and I was hoping to place 74th, but I’ll take it!” Reiser said. Despite this distinction, Reiser is still excited to perform stand-up, having not done it in a while, and always finds it rewarding. “When I’m on stage, I get out there and people who watched [Mad About You] know me. The show was designed to kind of be who I am,” he explains, noting that he finds it easy to relate to his audience. “When Mad About You was on, the comment I would get from people was always ‘That’s what I’m going through!’ or ‘That’s just like my wife.’” Mad About You ran on NBC from 1992 to 1999. Reiser starred as Paul Buchman, a filmmaker, and Helen Hunt played his wife Jamie, a PR specialist. Often compared to Seinfeld, the series focused on the day-to-day situations the two characters encountered and proved to be a major hit. Reiser was nominated for Emmy, SAG, Golden Globe and American Comedy Awards for his work on the show.

Golden Girls theme song) and later by Anita Baker. The song, which can be found on Gold’s album Thank You For Being a Friend: The Best of Andrew Gold, is also quite popular elsewhere—Mars, to be exact. “I’m one of the top artists on the planet, as far as I know,” Reiser boasts. “Final Frontier” served as NASA’s wake-up call for the Sojourner rover. In addition to his interplanetary success, Reiser collaborated with singer-songwriter Julia Fordham on the album Unusual Suspects, AgeFocusMedSpaAd_Layout 1 7/9/13 1:39 PM Page 1 which featured Fordham singing Coimedian Paul Reiser

I’d never gotten to tour before. It was the one time I didn’t have to talk, just sit and play piano,” Reiser says. “I was a music major at Binghamton until I figured out you have to actually be good at it,” he jokes. “Turns out that in comedy, you only have to be okay. So I did comedy.” Paul Reiser performs at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor on July 15, baystreet.org.

Reiser’s comedy tends to revolve around real life, getting used to change and dealing with friends and family. His three books— Couplehood, Babyhood and Familyhood—cover the various intricacies of relationships, having children and managing a family. Couplehood sold more than 2 million copies and was on the top of The New York Times bestseller list. The books are at once hilarious and poignant. On the back cover of Babyhood, Reiser warns: “I’m going to be totally honest. This is not the kind of book that can help you. It’s not a ‘how-to,’ ‘when-to,’ a ‘what-to-expect’ book.” Familyhood, Reiser’s most recent tome, was released in 2011. “The theme of these books is sort of anecdotal,” Reiser says. Reiser’s two children, Ezra Samuel and Leon, may not follow in Reiser’s career footsteps, but they certainly caught the comedy gene. “My little guy [Leon] got the acting bug. He did a little film with Jeff Garlin. So he got the bug... until he realized it meant he’d have to work and audition for stuff,” Reiser laughs. “Both of them can quote Mel Brooks and Bill Cosby. When my oldest son was 9 or 10, he passed a fruit stand and quoted Mel Brooks as saying about nectarines, ‘Half a peach, half a plum, such a hell of a fruit!’” Reiser is also a musician, something many people don’t know. He composed the theme song to Mad About You, “Final Frontier,” which was sung by Andrew Gold (who also sang the

it is not part of the channel. Warner agrees that the rock pile is out of the channel, but fears that marking the area off will attract more inexperienced divers to a section of water known for its strong currents. These strong currents have swept divers into the ocean before, and this is what the town fears if it marks off certain areas of the bay, close to the channel, as marked dive spots. Unfortunately for experienced divers who frequent the rock pile, there is realistically no recourse if they are ticketed, Warner said. “They will write you tickets for being in these imaginary boundaries,” McSherry said. “Between all of the law enforcement, you can’t get a clean answer.” McSherry feels there are too many inconsistencies. “I had two confrontations with law enforcement, the DEC and Bay Constable, around the inlet but not in it. I felt I was not breaking any laws; I was within my rights.” One possible scenario that terrifies Schoerlin is if an inexperienced diver gets killed before regulations are made clear. That would give law enforcement the green light to completely shut the sport down, he fears. “I’ve been diving 25 years, and in the last five years I see a lot of new kids, and I don’t know who they are,” Schoerlin said. “It used to be just a couple of guys I know. Now it’s getting very popular, and new guys are diving without flags and they are going to ruin it for everyone.” Because of the lack of diver safety and education in the new crop of spear-fishermen, Schoerlin, a certified ocean lifeguard, has started a summer camp teaching free-diver safety and bay conservation to children, called Argo Adventures. His goal is to educate the next generation while establishing the legitimacy of the sport. Joe Carson, 29, is a Hampton Bays native who now lives in Southampton. Carson is an avid free diving spear fisherman, as well as a bow hunter, and his family has raised poultry and small livestock his whole life. “I meet a lot of people who hear I spearfish and they want to get into it,” Carson said. “It’s a great way to put food on your table.” Carson likens the sport to skateboarding or surfing. He feels it is a fringe sport that is marginalized now, but if it is made legitimate with clearly marked dive areas, he thinks it will become very popular, then it will be accepted. Schoerlin is taking a unique approach in an attempt to establish a unified free-diving community. By setting up his camp, he will continue to dive legally himself, while educating others on how to safely and legally dive. He is hoping that as his camp grows, the town and law enforcement will be forced to address free diving in the area and come up with a system of boundaries, and clear regulations. Warner has lived in Hampton Bays his whole life, and in fact succeeded his father, Ed Warner, Sr. in his position as Trustee. Safety is important, but as a lifelong bayman, Warner knows the importance of using the resources to the locals. “I’m an advocate of people using resources here, it’s what we’re all about,” Warner said. “I’m always for access to water and people using it.” Alex Goetzfried

for diving where it is legal, or just for having a spear gun, McSherry believes. “I just didn’t feel like going to court to argue something that is my right as a Southampton Town citizen.” The DEC doesn’t enforce diving regulations, but some DEC officers have written tickets for using a spear gun. The basis for those tickets is that a spear gun is a mechanized weapon. Warner said that whether or not spear guns are legal is yet another gray area, sometimes seemingly left up to the officer on duty. In an email response to an inquiry about the legalities of spear fishing, Regional Citizen Participation Specialist and New York Wildfire and Incident Don’t worry, it’s not a shark fin. Management Academy Coordinator for the DEC, Bill Fonda wrote, “Spearing is allowed for native who has been diving these waters and recreational taking of striped bass and other shooting striped bass and blackfish most of his non-protected fish species.

New Consulting Service Offers Perfect Tan Advice for a Fee any East Enders have figured out ways to make additional money during the busy summer season. Some rent their houses out for big bucks and temporarily relocate to more humble digs. Others sell various wares to eager tourists. There are boat captains who do charters as well as others who offer various types of recreational offerings. None of these fit my personality, but nevertheless, I like the idea of building a nest egg in the summer so I can live larger in the winter. With that in mind, and given the affluence of the East End, I decided this past winter to get an advanced degree that would serve my effort to bolster my bank account this summer. I applied to and was accepted to two rather prestigious higher learning institutions, the University of Hawaiian Tropic and Coppertone University. However, neither offered an online course, so in the end I chose The University of Tannessee, where I am proud to announce that I have earned a Masters of Tanning. With my new degree, I’m now prepared to offer my services as a tanning consultant to the wealthiest of East End beachgoers. Celebs are often photographed on vacation by paparazzi and a perfect tan can go a long way. This is no different than paying a high-priced fashion consultant and, in fact, the tan will last longer than the three or four hours that an outfit will be worn. And of course, as any tanning consultant will tell you, we’re also providing “peace of mind” to the client as it relates to the potential of overexposure to the sun. The curriculum at TU was grueling, to say the least. Just to give you an example, my final exam included being able to correctly identify the six basic skin types and demonstrating the various application techniques as they relate to uncovered skin, lips, nose, ears, neck, hands and feet. There were even questions that included protecting babies from the effects of the sun. Most people aren’t aware of this, but eliminating bikini lines and diaper lines should be addressed in completely different ways. I also had to demonstrate proficiency in identifying the various types of sunscreen that should be applied as well as the suggested frequency of the applications. As a marketing teaser and to introduce my consulting business, I’m going to offer a few freebies to Dan’s Readers: • Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going out in the sun • Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours • If you don’t have much hair, apply sunscreen to the top of your head • Ask a health care professional before applying sunscreen to an infant under 6 months old • Only wear sunglasses that provide 99%100% UV protection. Wraparound sunglasses are the best. • If you have a family history of skin cancer, be extra cautious and consult your physician prior to seeking a tan. The cost of my services, which include the period of 15 minutes before sunrise and continue until sunset, is only $5,000 per day.

The NTSB never really regards an investigation as closed. Whatever conclusion it had reached can be revisited if new evidence warrants. the government’s procedures and conclusions. In July 2006, a month before he was to retire, Dr. Wetli remarked to this reporter that even 10 years after the tragedy, he was unsure if the death of 230 people was an accident or murder. While the documentary Stalcup and Borjesson have produced puts forth evidence that a missile brought down the plane, it does not speculate on the source of that missile. Stalcup said he and Borjesson wanted to present a work that was strictly evidence-based, strictly scientific. He added, “Everything in this film was vetted by the investigators involved. We had to have unanimous approval from them before we included anything.” Stalcup and Borjesson have presented a petition to the NTSB to reopen its investigation of the explosion of TWA Flight 800. “They have 60 days to respond as to whether they will review the petition,” Stalcup said. On July 2, the NTSB held a press briefing at its training facility in Virginia where the wreckage of Flight 800 is stored. In a phone interview with the bureau’s Director of Public Affairs, Kelly Nantel, she said the briefing was not in response to the documentary but the petition. She added that because the incident took place 17 years ago, there were many reporters who had not had direct experience covering the story, and the purpose of the briefing was to outline the basic points in the investigation.“It was four years and produced 17,000 pages of documents with supporting materials,” she said. “Aside from NTSB investigators, there were hundreds of others from different agencies involved.” Nantel went on to say that the NTSB never really regards an investigation as closed. Whatever conclusion it has reached in a particular matter can be revisited if new evidence warrants. Federal regulations permit petitions to address whether there is new evidence the previous investigation lacked, or whether the NTSB came to an erroneous conclusion. “All the parties that were part of the investigation have to be served,” Nantel went on. “Boeing, the FAA, American Pilots Union, the FBI and so forth.”Kelly added that the petition presented to the NTSB raised six points and that each will be reviewed. If the NTSB has occasionally revised its conclusions about an airline accident, Nantel pointed out, “There has never been a petition to change an accident to a criminal act.” At the southernmost end of William Floyd Parkway there is a monument on the beach at Smith Point Park in Shirley to those who lost their lives on TWA Flight 800. In 2006, the 10th anniversary of the tragedy was cause for a large ceremony, attended by many family members of those who had perished on July 17, 1996. Will future anniversaries grant the bereaved a firmer knowledge of the cause of the tragedy that took 230 lives?

Who’s Here By dan rattiner

arbara Goldsmith is a celebrated New Yorker who has summered in the Hamptons for more than half a century. She’s well-known in the literary world, not only for her books, some of which have risen to #1 on The New York Times best seller list, but also for her earlier career when as a recent, brilliant graduate of Wellesley College, she began writing about the art world, civil rights and celebrity, ushering in the style of New Journalism. She is also a well-known New York philanthropist. Barbara has had a wonderful, exciting life, and I was pleased to have lunch with her recently, where we got into a long discussion about it. Her father’s father emigrated from the Russian-Polish border at the turn of the 20th century to the Lower East, where he sold goods from a pushcart and, according to her father, moved from apartment to apartment with his family of eight kids whenever the rent came due. Her father, the youngest, while working during the day, spent 13 years studying at night to gain an education. He got a degree in accounting and opened an accounting firm. Then, when the law changed so that he could not give tax advice, he went back to night school and became a lawyer. By the time Barbara and her sister were born, he was extremely affluent. Among other properties, he owned more than 50% of Pepsi Cola and was its chairman. He was also, along with David Rockefeller, able to donate a considerable amount of land he owned on the East Side of Manhattan to make it possible for the United Nations to have its headquarters in New York. Barbara’s mother, Evelyn, came from more fortunate circumstances. Her father, Reuben Cronson, was Chief of Surgery at New York Presbyterian Hospital. “Early on,” Barbara said, “our parents told us that if you were privileged, you’re obliged to give back to society. They also talked about the importance of family and a good education. History was often spoken of at our dinner table. It was one of my father’s favorite subjects. I recall, when I was seven, I had to learn Latin. That will give you an idea of how things were for me then.” One thing her parents could not agree on, however, was where she and her sister should go to school. Her mother had gone to Miss Hewitt’s classes. Her father had gone to public school. Eventually, he prevailed in this argument. “I went to Public School 93 on Central Park West at 92nd,” Barbara said. “But then, one day when I was seven, I came home with head lice. So that was the end of New York City public school. Soon thereafter we moved to New Rochelle, which had excellent public schools.” “So head lice was why you moved

“I think I didn’t want people to know what I dearly wanted to do was write, so I did every other activity. But I wrote, too. I even edited the school newspaper. One day, my teacher sent a short story I wrote to a magazine called New Directions, and they published it. That did it.” At Wellesley, she signed up to be an English major, and in her first class, her English professor asked everyone to write what they did over the summer. When she got her essay back, there was a big red C on it. And the comment under it said that there was a dangling participle and she needed work on learning her grammar. “I went to my class advisor. I was in tears. If I stay in this class, I said, I’m going to lose my writer’s voice. I’m only 17 but I have a voice. If I stay, I might be a good writer, but people will not know it is me.” The solution was for her to modify her major. She got a joint degree in English and Art History. With a joint degree, she did not have to take the course with this grammarian. After graduation, she began looking for work at magazines. After several short stints, she got a job as the Assistant Entertainment Editor at Women’s Home Companion, a magazine that was designed to appeal to women as homemakers. She soon found out the magazine didn’t have an entertainment section. She began to try to make one. “One day the magazine got a call from a public relations person for Clark Gable. They’d like the magazine to do a profile on him. Everybody was excited but upset at the same time. Who could do this? This was a magazine where there were recipes for noodle rings. Somebody said, ‘Let the kid do it!’ and so I did. After that, I interviewed Deborah Kerr, Audrey Hepburn, Carey Grant, Joan Crawford, Alfred Hitchcock, and then I thought, ‘I’m good at this, maybe I could interview who I want.’ So I interviewed Picasso, Marcel Bruer, I. M. Pei and Andy Warhol.” This was in the 1960s. Warhol was not that well-known yet. Barbara wrote that some people said California would be the future of art, but that was not so. The future was Andy Warhol. That got her an invitation from Warhol to come over to the “Factory” he had on Union Square. She got to know everybody. She developed a longtime friendship with Warhol. Now she was writing pieces for Town & Country, Art News and The Herald Tribune and was an accepted New York journalist. Also, for the first time, she began, with a group of other writers, renting in the Hamptons in the summertime, mostly in and around Georgica in East Hampton. She remembers those days very vividly. “I remember Arthur Penn built a movie theater in his basement, and we’d watch films there. I recall seeing Paul Newman in Left Handed Gun. I remember this shop run by Art and Bessie, where you could get pâté. (Cont’d on next page)

Barbara Goldsmith Writer & Philanthropist

From Herald Tribune to Harper’s Baazar to The New Yorker to New Rochelle?” “Well, yes,” she said. We both laughed. “But believe me, there’s plenty of head lice in both public and private schools.” At the Mayflower Grammar School in New Rochelle, when she was nine years old, something happened that convinced her she should study to become a writer. “We had been asked to write a composition. I wrote an essay about a character named Jackson the Jester (who made people happy, but wore an iron collar around his neck). When I read it to the class, some of the students were so moved they began to cry. It made a great impression on me.

They’d make their own, and you had to get there early in the week because later the pâté wouldn’t be good anymore. I remember the girls going to Anita Zahn’s Ballet School in what is now John and Jodi Eastman’s house. I recall this shop on Main Street in East Hampton where the woman would make your clothes. We’d walk the beaches and meet new friends. It was all so informal, I recall someone would say ‘wear a dress tonight because my mom is coming for dinner and didn’t want to see us in jeans.’” Back in the city, Barbara worked for the New York section of The Herald Tribune and volunteered at the Museum of Modern Art. She reviewed a book written by Andy Warhol called From A to B and Back Again. She wrote about museum curator Henry Geldheizer in an article called “How Henry Made 40 Artists Immortal.” At the New York section of The Herald Tribune (the newspaper which would soon lose its struggle to stay in business), Goldsmith worked for Clay Felker, and when the Tribune collapsed he asked her to help buy the title “New York” from the newspaper. She did. In 1968 the magazine began with Goldsmith as one of the founding editors. “I wrote a very controversial piece for New York about Viva, one of the superstars at the Warhol factory. We published a glamorous photo taken by Diane Arbus for Vogue. But, as the lead photo for the article, we had another Arbus shot of her nude, unkempt, and surrounded by bottles of alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs everywhere. There was this big outrage. People wanted me fired. Of course, I wasn’t fired. Tom Wolfe said the article was “too good not to print.” For several years, Barbara was the Senior Editor at Harper’s Bazaar. She wrote for it and did a lot of editing for it. There was a huge amount of work to be done every issue, and there was that big deadline looming all the time. “I began to think, what am I doing? Do I really want to make a career out of being an editor? I am re-writing everybody. What about my writing? I decided to give notice, and I did. I quit to write.” And so, in 1973, shocked at how some people in the art world treated artists, Goldsmith embarked upon writing her first book, a work of fiction called The Straw Man. It was about a mythical billionaire who in his will left his vast collection to a museum in New York City that would house it in a new wing he would pay to have built. It was a work of fiction, but real people recognized themselves in it. The plot involved this billionaire’s son who, feeling he was short changed in the will after the rich old man died, tries to have the will overturned. It shot straight up to #2 on The New York Times Best Seller List. “After it came out, I met with Henry Gelzheizer who said ‘I knew a lead character was me, but I would never answer the door with my shirt off.’” Another astonishing thing happened as a result of this book. Seven weeks after The Straw Man was published, she attended the dedication of a new wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to house the art collection of the late Robert Lehman, who had willed it to the (Continued on page 78) museum.

On Getting Enough Vitamin D? Or Not...

DEN

I’m going to be one of those guys who has weak bones, looks like he’s dying and looks ridiculous because he’s so white in the summertime. Why is everything so hot? I’m sitting at dinner and my skin feels like it’s on fire. Please, please, just bring me a glass of water and a side of ice, if you don’t mind. I’m a fool, I ventured out into the sun, yes I know, next time I will wear sunblock. What’s that? You want to go to the beach tomorrow, honey? Absolutely, but let’s be sure to stop at CVS and buy some sunblock. Since when does it cost $20 to buy a can of sunblock? Bring on the SPF 70, bring on the umbrella. I don’t care what it costs—my health, my very life is at stake here. Yes, I’ll pay it, yes, I want the one that you spray all over like bug spray, it’s easier to apply, I’ll just use it to spray my back, my stomach, my legs, my ears, my face…. Why are my eyes burning like I’ve just been pepper sprayed? Oh my God, it’s really bad. It’s like…really bad. I have to get into the ocean and rinse out my eyes. I can barely see anything. Holy crap, this water is cold. Okay, no big deal, I used to be a lifeguard a decade ago, I’ll just swim underwater with my eyes open to wash out the sunblock that is stinging me. Here we go….I’m blind, I can’t see a damn thing. It stings. Why would a grown man think it’s logical to wash his eyes out with salt water? That’s it, I’m going home, I’m not going out in the sun for another week. What’s that you say? Yes, I do live year-round in the Hamptons and love the ocean. I look pale

to you? Really? Pale like I’m sick pale or just the normal pale? The normal pale? What does that mean? Does that mean you think I should get some more sun? Maybe I should go out. How can I waste such a beautiful day in the outdoors like this? It’s my God-given right as a Long Islander to spend time outdoors. I don’t want to end up like one of those people who never leaves his computer. Yes, I do feel a little tired today. You could be right, it could be because I’m not getting enough Vitamin D…

And the latest is Obsessive Genius: The Inner World of Marie Curie, which has already been translated into more than 23 languages. She’s won many literary awards and has been the recipient of two Emmys. And throughout all these times, she has been an active philanthropist in the City of New York, so much so that she’s counted as one of the 10 most prominent philanthropists in the city. She has been also named a “Living Landmark” by the New York Landmark Conservancy. Barbara Goldsmith’s contributions have led to the Goldsmith Conservation and Preservation Laboratories at the New York Public Library, the creation of the preservation and conservation departments to New York University, to the founding of a state-of-the-art rare books library in the American Academy in Rome and another at her alma mater at Wellesley College. Also, she has created the PEN/Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write Awards, which annually focuses attention on imprisoned writers. She’s made 39 awards to imprisoned or missing writers. And after the awards were made, 34 were subsequently set free. Perhaps her most extraordinary achievement, however, has been in the creation of an organization that sought to require that publishers print the first edition works of writers on cost-comparable, acid-free paper so these physical works would last 300 years instead of 30. In this attempt, with the signatures of 2,500 writers and about 60 publishing companies, she was able to secure a $20 million grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities for paper preservation and a law that all Federal documents must be printed on acid-free paper. Barbara Goldsmith lives today in Manhattan and in a 100-year-old house in Georgica. She was married to the late film director and writer Frank Perry. She keeps up with many friends and often sees her three children and six grandchildren. Largest WeekLy CirCuLation in the hamptons pLus speCiaL manhattan DeLivery

Stupid Fireworks Injuries from the Internet The Fourth of July has officially cracked open the summer season. I was thinking of barbecues and what memorable moments they generate. When I was young, I roomed with two other gals who worked at my hospital. One worked in pediatrics, one worked in the ER, and I worked in psyche. You’d think that I would have the funniest stories, but no, nobody could beat the ER gal for funny stories. Just for fun, I googled ER admissions for the Fourth of July and I am still laughing… 1. A teenage boy came into the ER with severe burns on his ears from sticking sparklers in them and then lighting them up. 2. Two young men came in with severe burns on their buttocks, a result of a contest about who can hold a Roman candle between their cheeks the longest. The attending physician also made note that he suspected alcohol use was involved. I think that alcohol use was probably involved in all these events. 3. A young man was admitted with burns to the back of his head and neck after his friend assumed that if you light fireworks in the back seat of a convertible, the rockets will go straight up and not forward.

window, resulting in painful burns and years of humiliation in the retelling of their asinine behavior. 8. A fire call went out when two youths who lived next door to each other decided to conduct a scientific experiment by opening their living room windows and seeing if they could aim a fireworks rocket to fly horizontally through both houses. The result was one set of drapes catching fire in the first house and one entertainment center going up in flames in the second house. No human injuries reported, but the fire department soaked the rugs in both houses resulting in the probable, but unreported, subsequent beating of two young scientists. Bigstock.com

Walking to Stay in Shape and Get a Taste By kelly laffey

Start your weekend off right and indulge in expertly charred fare at GrillHampton in Bridgehampton on Friday, July 12. Follow up with Dan’s Taste of Two Forks on Saturday, where local chefs, purveyors and wineries will descend upon the sold out foodie fete at

Sayre Park. With all of the delicious goodies at your disposal, it can be hard to keep fitness at the forefront of your mind. Considering that the bash falls the weekend Bastille Day and will feature many taste infusions from across the pond, let’s take a tip from the Europeans and consider the benefits of walking. A very unscientific people-watching study that I conducted while studying abroad revealed that Europeans eat the same delicious foods that many health-conscious Americans consider taboo—breads, pastries, whole baguettes, cheese, pasta, olive oil and the occasional sweet. Yet they all seem to maintain a fairly svelte figure. What’s the difference? My conclusion: They walk. We drive. Any sort of physical activity is helpful in melting away the pounds, but such a simple, everyday activity like walking has significant health benefits. Studies have shown that walking can reduce your risk of stroke, prevent developing Type 2 Diabetes, relieve pain from fibromyalgia, decrease risk of heart disease and increase the survival rate for breast cancer patients. Mental benefits of regular exercise include better stress management and better moods. It’s recommended that people looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle take about 10,000 steps a day. Walking for 40 minutes (about two miles) can allot for half of your daily quota. Every little bit counts—parking further from your destination, for example— but try working to increase the length and intensity of your walk to yield the greatest benefits. If you don’t feel like you got in enough walking prior to joining Dan’s at our food and wine weekend, feel free to get some steps in at Sayre Park. You’ll burn some additional calories and ensure that you don’t miss any of the delectable treats. Barring that, take a tip from fitness gurus who use everyday items as inspiration for working out. (A heavy book becomes a weight, a chair is the perfect place to do some arm squats…) Here’s a list of suggestions for how to keep fit while keeping up your food and wine intake: —Come to both GrillHampton and Dan’s Taste of Two Forks. You’ll maximize time walking around the tent and get even more delicious food. —Come by bike. It’s outside, so it’ll be uncomfortable to wear high heels, anyway. —Break into an all-out sprint upon arrival.

You’ll get your heart rate up and will be in a better position on line at your preferred purveyor. —Take little bites of food at a time. That way, you’ll maximize the amount of arm curls from plate to mouth. —Grab one plate and stack it high so that it acts as a weight. Carry it around all night, and be sure to refill when it starts to feel lighter. To take this workout up a notch, have at least one plate in each hand. Or, constantly carry a full drink as well. —Drink with your pinky out. It’s classy, and it’s a great stretch for the smallest of our digits. —Sample all of the delicious fare, and constantly come back for whatever you deem

Clementine Hunter painted scores of works that included African-American angels. She believed, partly from her Christian teachings and partly a result of remnants of spiritual Africanisms, that we are surrounded by angels and spirits some good, some bad. Clementine imagined flocks of angels in flight with hair blowing high in the winds that surround us. 27784

Tablet Reading for Kids’ Eyes Only By MATTHEW APFEL

My family’s move is nearly complete. The boxes are (mostly) unpacked. The cars have (almost) all been purchased. The grill is (sort of) fired up. All in all, the transition has been fairly smooth. Except our kids hate us. One thing you discover during a move is just how much crap you collect over the years. Good God. Going through all these boxes I feel like we should appear on “Hoarders: Family Edition”. Our biggest collection of random stuff? Kids Books. It’s incredible how many we have. At last count we have four copies of Good Night Moon, two complete editions of the Nancy Drew series, and every Berenstain Bears book ever written. We even have the paint-by-numbers version of the Unabomber Manifesto. My boy likes the colors. While throwing away the duplicates, it dawned on me that it doesn’t have to be this way. My kids are addicted to iPads anyway, so why not make a real effort to get them reading on the tablet—where they want to be? I’m well aware of the dangers here. I fully realize that my 9-year-old will start reading the digital version of 39 Clues and somehow end up playing two hours of Temple Run. But I’m going with it. Meeting them on their chosen platform.

And keeping my eyes peeled while I do so. I did some digging and found several great e-reading platforms for the kids. MeeGenius MeeGenius is a great app to get your little ones reading and interacting with books. Setup is simple. Just download the app from iTunes, sign up with email or Facebook, and you’ve got books. The reader itself is very simple to use. There’s one tab to access your books, and another to access all the books in their library. Books are individually priced, ranging from $1.99 all the way up to $11.99. Most are in the $4 range. MeeGenius lets you sample a few pages from each book before you buy, which is a nice feature. Books download quickly. You can choose “auto-reader mode” where a soothing voice reads the book so you can ignore your child and check email. This mode also highlights each word, to help more advanced readers follow along. Of course, you can always put down your phone and read the book to your child yourself. MeeGenius is highly social, too. There’s a great feature where you can start book clubs with fellow parents, all through a simple invitation box. You get $10 in credit for referrals, which is a nice viral incentive. The best feature is the library. It’s huge. MeeGenius has made deals with most of the big publishers, so you have access to classics

and cool, edgy new titles as well. It’s definitely worth a try. Bookboard Bookboard uses a slightly different model than MeeGenius. It’s a subscription-based service. You pay $4.99 per month if you commit to six months, or $8.99 if you go monthly. A subscription gets you access to over 300 books with unlimited reading. You can set up separate accounts for up to four kids, with all of their favorites marked. I’m guessing that large Amish families love this feature. Like MeeGenius, Bookboard lets you download books to your device, in case you’ll be without WiFi at some point. And it has an audiobook feature, though I couldn’t find it in my version. There are several areas where Bookboard can improve. First, the sign-up and login process is messy. And it only works in Safari. All in all, not the smoothest way to kick things off. Once you’re in the system, the reader is fine. Books are gorgeous, “swipeable,” and you can tap on words to make them larger and easier to read. The bigger issue is on the content side. There just aren’t many books available in the trial version to really understand whether the library is large enough to justify paying for. That’s it for this week—put down the paper and go read a book!

Firecracker Automobiles Hit the Road By robert gelber

Hope you had a happy Independence Day weekend. Firecracker times…what about “firecracker automobiles,” cars that were so special when they first appeared that the public went ga-ga? Just to be clear, I’m not talking about every year when Chevrolet adds a new hood scoop to the Corvette and the Corvette guys swoon. Or when the Mustang gets another 100 horsepower, the Pony car fans get hot under their blue collars. Or when the Germans put a new taillight lens on their evergreen Porsche 911 and advertise it as advanced engineering. Frankly, these cars are certainly not firecrackers, just good all-around performance cars that keep rolling along. However, there’s a unique type of car enthusiast that lusts for exciting firecracker cars. I’m talking about cat people. There was an acclaimed erotic horror movie made in 1942 called Cat People that was so special it was remade in 1982 and starred the beautiful Natassja Kinski—or, as I call her, Natassja Kinky. Quite simply, it was about people who turned into black panthers at night. However, today there is a real group of automotive cat people who are absolutely in love with one brand of erotic-looking big cat of an automobile

and they are vintage Jaguar enthusiasts. Jaguar has always sold cars whose main claim to fame was their stunning looks. The 1937 Jaguar SS100 two-seater sports car was probably the definitive British roadster of the period. Stunning and expensive, reproductions are currently still made in England. My old friend, clothing designer and car enthusiast, the late John Weitz, used to drive his SS100 all over the Hamptons. The car that put Jaguar on the map was the 1949 XK 1937 Jaguar SS100 120. It lit up the London Motor car show when it first appeared in public. It was so cool that stars photographed themselves standing next to their own XK-120. Remember Cary Grant and Gary Cooper and their Jags? But, as they say in show business, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.” In 1963, after producing the XK series for 15 years, Jaguar stunned the motoring public again with the introduction of its newest creation, the XK-E, or the E- Type, as the Brits call it. This car had it all and drove those cat people crazy—and rightfully so. It was so beautifully correct as a feline animal that the car could have been created by nature, not human beings. Swoopy, sexy, without one single design element out of place. The car was also a bargain, at half the price of a Ferrari and just as fast. To this day, most car enthusiasts consider the XK-E to be the most beautiful mass

produced sports car ever designed. Notice I say “mass-produced” to cover myself, There are certainly quite a few limited-production cars like those made by the Italians that can give the Jag a run for its money in sex appeal. Note: It has been reported that Enzo Ferrari once called the XK-E the most beautiful car in the world. Today, Jaguar has just introduced its new F-Type, touted as the spiritual successor to the E-Type. It is a beautiful roadster design, and I think it can out perform its 50-year-old grandfather. But, it’s not a firecracker. It’s stunning but not shocking. It’s sexy but not erotic. It’s fast but not faster than the competition. The XK-E roared, the F-Type purrs. I wish Jaguar the best of luck with their impressive new car. I’m sure it will sell well. It has made the cat people happy. Perhaps the original 1964 XK-E stunned everyone so much because it was a different time. Most cars really weren’t that fast or sexy in the sixties. Today, even a Honda Civic coupe is a looker and a Honda Accord V-6 Sedan can probably out run an XK-E. We have become jaded. Speed and beauty in automobiles is commonplace, but the surprise in 1963 is that these attributes fused into one gorgeous Jaguar. An automobile milestone that has become a design icon.

Burritos from A to Epazote By stacy dermont

Last Monday, while immersed in heavy editing, I blurted out something about burritos. Though it was lunchtime, which typically means a trip to Schmidt’s salad bar, I suddenly needed a burrito. I ducked out to go to La Hacienda across from Waldbaum’s in Southampton. It was just too packed to face, so I settled for a bag of everything pita chips and a tub of everything hummus from Waldbaum’s. “Everything” does not include a burrito. I think a craving for burritos took root because I recently met Diana Kennedy, famed author of The Cuisines of Mexico. I just re-read that tome and, though Kennedy would point out that the burritos we know aren’t Mexican, it started the Tex-Mex ball rolling. My reading also planted the idea in my mind to add epazote to my herb garden. She loves the stuff. I wasn’t really sure what it tastes like on its own, but I’d recently had it in a tasty dish at Fresh Hamptons in Bridgehampton. Kennedy writes that you can even grow it all winter as a house plant. That’s usual for herbs, and I do quest for the unusual. I memorized what epazote looks like from the excellent line drawing in Cuisines. I find that it pays to explore. Marcus Samuelsson extolls the value of using pumpkin leaves in stews. I didn’t have a chance to try cooking with pumpkin leaves until last month, when my own pumpkin patch needed trimming. Delicious! The “prickles” melt away in the heat, just like with nettles. In her book, Kennedy wrote that she looked high and low for epazote after she moved back to the States, with no luck. Then, while walking in a public park, she spotted a patch of it. On Friday, the 5th of July, my husband and I went upisland far enough to be reminded just how exceptional the East End is. But sometimes you must cross the canal to purchase utilitarian supplies. While en route we stopped at Avocado’s in Bayport for some Tex-Mex. You know I ordered a bean burrito. With that and a shared order of five-layer dip, we were set for a while. (“Cooking for two” cookbooks don’t work for us. We much prefer recipes that “serve four.”) We were concerned about the return traffic but we know the back-back roads, and it was good to be home for a holiday Saturday in “the place to be.” After all, we only have traffic to complain about three months of the year, and most of what we need is right here—beaches, top restaurants, boutiques, farms, historic sites and last, but never least, our East End farmers markets. They just get bigger and better. Saturday morning I was off to the Sag Harbor Farmers Market as usual—on foot. It was there that I discovered the antidote to a very hot day in Hamptonsville—it’s a frosty quart bottle of Sweet ’tauk Mermaid lemonade. I’m not sure what all’s in it but I’m convinced it’s the purslane juice that does the trick—that and the sheer volume of cold liquid. It really hit the spot, as did a cardboard boat of Gula Gula empanadas, slathered with Gula Gula’s

signature chimichurri sauce. Gula There’s a lot of good stuff to Gula’s owner Luchi Masliah said be had at the Sag Harbor Farmers she’d let me visit her in her East Market, but last week some idiot Hampton kitchen soon for a tutorial deposited some not-so-good stuff. in empanada-ing. I can’t wait—I’ll Over by the eastern fence, someone be sure to give you a full report had dumped their old cooktop. of my adventures. I need to know Really, people? I was staring at this what makes her fish empanadas SO little mess and talking to Bette at GOOD—I think it’s the olives. Dale & Bette’s Farm market table Also on my summer go-to list of when a tall, leafy plant next to the must-haves are Martine Abitbol’s refuse caught my eye. It sure looked onion tarts. Yum. Savory and a like it. I ran over and picked off a bit sweet, fantastic cold. If you’re leaf. I chewed it and at first it tasted about to light up a hot grill, This is what epazote looks like. like most weeds (don’t ask), just think again, think authentic French green, a bit icky, but then a deep, rich, onion tarts… spiciness kicked in. Epazote, I salute you!

East Hampton Idiot Spotter

GARDINERS ISLAND: The Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research saved a leatherback sea turtle over the weekend. The group was alerted to an entangled leatherback sea turtle in Gardiners Bay at 5:46 p.m. on Sunday. A boater aboard M/V “Madeleine” of Quanset, Rhode Island spotted the animal, which is an endangered species, and notified the United States Coast Guard Station in Montauk. Kimberly Durham, Riverhead Foundation Rescue Program Director along with Julika Wocial, Rescue Program Supervisor, responded to the call. The Montauk USCG Station provided a vessel to take the Riverhead Foundation Rescue Team to the scene. At approximately 8:10 p.m. the leatherback sea turtle was successfully disentangled and swam away, gear free. “This operation was a success,” Wocial said. “This is just the beginning of the sea turtle season. I encourage the public to report any sightings to our 24-hour hotline number.”

no has its fair share of questionable characters—especially in the summer and especially in East Hampton. Now there’s a new Facebook page to prove it. A population armed with smartphone cameras and lots Audis are not trucks, people. of dopey and inconsiderate people has created a perfect storm of eye-rolling humor. Since its inception on Friday, July 5, the East Hampton Idiot Spotter page already has 11,809 “Likes” (as of 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday) and numerous wall posts featuring images of and stories about local “idiots.” Among the pictures amusing so many people in such a short period of time, East Hampton Idiot Spotter features a photo of a man shopping at the IGA supermarket in a speedo bathing suit, an SUV parked in front of the Main Street light in East Hampton with half the vehicle in the road, several cars stuck in the sand on the beach—including one Audi that clearly is not four-wheel drive, a few ridiculous outfits and license plates (like the New Jersey plate that reads: NY CITY) and more baffling and offensive parking jobs. The creator notes, “This is a fun page, your fun page, to post pics and stories about the IDIOTS that have taken over our town, the emphasis being FUN!!” The intro further notes that anyone who finds an image or post offensive can contact an administrator and request that it be removed. And, despite the site’s premise, it also says nasty banter or attacks between posters would not be tolerated, adding, “If the page stops being fun for some, then it’s fun for none, and that’s not what we’re about!” Have funny, absurb, crazy Hamptons photos and stories of your own?

Larry Brown, 68 Lawrence William Brown, of East Quogue, a writer known in the classic period of Madison Avenue advertising for his brash approach, bold ideas and unique style, died on June 29. The cause was pneumonia complicated by a heart attack. He was 68. Born in 1945 in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan, Larry hitchhiked to Hollywood at 17 and began selling radio ads, but soon left there for New York City. At 21 he had already opened his second ad agency in the Seagram building, the first “youth market” ad agency, with college campaigns for TIME magazine, and the U.S. Navy ‘s first ever advertising. This led to his work on various political campaigns. Ambassador William vanden Heuvel, who was U. S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy’s assistant when he hired Larry for Kennedy’s presidential campaign, noted, “His passion for justice was reflected in his brilliant and creative work.” Perhaps his most enduring legacy is the “I Love NY” campaign. In a 1975 article in Advertising Age, Larry floated the idea that Madison Avenue could rescue New York from a deep economic slump. He suggested the city could be branded and resurrected by great advertising, a campaign that is still growing strong today. Larry had been based in the Hamptons for many years, bringing his unique brand of advertising to local businesses. During his marriage to Daniela Muccino, which ended in divorce, the couple had one son, Dylan. Brown. He is survived by his son, three brothers and three sisters.
