Yay, Pumpkintown The Kids Love it, the Parents Love it, and That’s All There is to it By Dan Rattiner Everybody loves Pumpkintown. It shows up on a 40-acre piece of farmland in Water Mill every September and is here for six weeks. All the kids and parents love it because of its slides to go on, hay bales to jump on, castles to climb on, school buses and backhoes to drive in, corn mazes to get through, pumpkins to pick up, pirate ships to walk on, pony rides to take, jams, jellies, corn and pumpkins to buy, and even Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to meet. Pumpkintown sticks around until the first week in November, then it shuts up shop and goes away. Of course, Pumpkintown could be in violation of a few local laws. Authorities are investigating. The castle may be in violation of town height limits and pyramid laws. Plans for it were apparently never submitted to the Architectural Review Board. Women’s rights may also be violated if, for example, a princess is held in the castle against her will. There is also the matter of the plumbing. There is no running water in the castle. Near the castle is a wooden dump truck that has never been properly registered or inspected. Where the motor is supposed to be there is none, so there may be a criminal

matter involving a stolen motor, or maybe the investigation will lead to some sort of chop shop. People sit in the truck but it doesn’t go anywhere, which may be in violation of traffic obstruction laws, especially as they pertain to emergency vehicles. There are no blinkers, windshield wipers, brakes or even a horn. The truck lacks any parking stickers. It could be parked illegally. We just don’t know. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are on

the running around on the property is legal, and whether insurance papers have been filed properly. And who takes the garbage out? The pirate ship, a sea-faring vessel, has somehow been brought to the site and set on dry land. The Coast Guard says there is no registration sticker on the boat. Also, there is no parking permit or any other permit that would allow any vessel, particularly a pirate ship, to be on land. There also seem to be no life jackets, life rings or flares on the boat. The hay bales are suspect. Have they been sprayed with non-toxic-yet-toxic chemicals to rid themselves of ladybugs and spiders and things? Apparently not. And where are Pumpkintown’s schools? There’s this school bus. But it never goes anywhere. As far as the Town of Southampton is concerned, Pumpkintown is in violation of all sorts of local laws. It has no sidewalks or public roads, which are required of all public complexes in town. Pumpkintown lacks a police department. It has no legal documents that show that it is incorporated. And it has no documents that show that it is not incorporated. It is in great

Pumpkintown could be in violation of a few local laws. Authorities are investigating. the property, but they’re two-dimensional on poster board attached to sticks. Has Snow White been run over? Have the Dwarfs? Is there a steamroller hidden somewhere? There does not appear to be any permit for harboring dwarfs at Pumpkintown. Police say that cheers and screams of joy by children seem to be in violation of noise ordinances. It is questionable whether all

Pumpkintown

(continued from page 11)

violation of town assembly laws. Every day more than 500 people come to Pumpkintown, yet it has never applied for a permit for public assembly. It is highly unlikely that one would have been granted for this number of people. It also has no sewer system or drainage system. Pumpkintown seems to lack even the most rudimentary of governments. There is no chief of police, no mayor and no village board. If meetings are held, there is no record of them. The town is in complete violation of the Sunshine Laws and the First Amendment Laws, which require freedom of information and minutes to be taken at every public meeting. One of the more serious lapses at Pumpkintown is in their complete disregard of federal child labor laws. Children as young as three years old are out there in the fields, picking the pumpkins and carrying them to the designated areas. One can actually see them doing this from the road. As for the grown-up workers, federal authorities have yet to see any withholding tax being taken out of their pay. There are no quarterly filings or other accounting measures at Pumpkintown. There are no ramps for the handicapped at Pumpkintown, no handrails or bathrooms or even changing facilities for babies. Board of Health members are scratching their heads and wondering how such a town could have sprung up without the proper facilities and approvals.

As seen from the road, Pumpkintown is in serious violation of Southampton’s appropriate attire ordinances. People dress however they want. Women at Pumpkintown have been seen wearing skimpy skirts, and hairy men have been seen wearing undershirts. God knows when they may have last bathed. At night, Pumpkintown seems to be very badly lit. Instead of streetlights, Pumpkintown relies on car headlights—a very chancy business. Zoning is non-existent at Pumpkintown, and it seems that no civil planning was done. There’s no policeman, fireman or other emergency official at Pumpkintown. There’s no Pumpkintown Transportation Authority or marine museum. There are no trustees, courts or dog ordinance control officers. But there are apparently witches at Pumpkintown. What is that all about? There is also some question about whether Pumpkintown meets the code for its farm stand. The stand and little shack—which does not have a certificate of occupancy, we are told—are allowed to exist only insofar that more than 70% of the merchandise sold at the stand is actually grown on the property. Ordinance inspectors walking the property say that many of the pumpkins, which are seen lying about in the field rather than attached to any pumpkin plant stalk or anything, bear markings that suggest they are grown in southern New Jersey and trucked in. If this is true, Pumpkintown should have

import-export licenses, but a search of the records showed none. Then there is the traffic. Pumpkintown is so popular that traffic on Route 27, which passes right by Pumpkintown, slows to a crawl there because no thought has been given to traffic lights or passing lanes or other traffic patterns. Perhaps the biggest issue is the fact that Pumpkintown just seems to appear out of nowhere in September and disappear in November. What kind of town is that? Is there something that Pumpkintown is hiding? Do they leave with the same number of people they arrive with? A whole heap of violations will be served upon the mayor of Pumpkintown if he can be found, but so far, he hasn’t been. Also, it is proving difficult to find anyone who will give Pumpkintown a ticket. That’s because everybody loves Pumpkintown. It shows up on a 40-acre piece of farmland in Water Mill every September and is here for six weeks. All the kids and parents love it because of its slides to go on, hay bales to jump on, castles to climb on, school buses and backhoes to drive in, corn mazes to get through, pumpkins to pick up, pirate ships to walk on, pony rides to take, jams, jellies, corn and pumpkins to buy, and even Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to meet. Who could possibly want to serve a summons to Pumpkintown? Or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? Nobody, that’s who.

The Same Old Story Romantic Comedy Movie Script, Invented on the Spot by Two Birds By Dan Rattiner “Look at that,” my wife said. We were sitting in the park, eating sandwiches at lunchtime. Pigeons were strutting and fluttering about, mostly looking for bits of bread or crumbs in the grass. One pigeon, however, was interested in something else. He was clearly focusing his attention on one particular pigeon near him, who was slightly smaller. And he was letting her—I guessed it was female— know it. He bobbed his head. He fluffed up his feathers on his neck and began making these odd guttural noises. He also responded to her in a certain way. She’d turn her head to look one

way. He’d strut over in that direction. She’d turn her head the other way. He’d strut that way. Shortly thereafter, he added another aspect to his behavior: menace. It was quite subtle. When she’d walk a bit, looking down into the grass for stuff, he’d strut toward her. She’d look up. He’d stop immediately, then hunker down as if he was nesting. But he continued the feather fluffing and guttural sounds. Then she’d look away, and he’d get up. “It doesn’t seem to be a secret what he wants,” my wife said. Now he was integrating these behaviors.

She’d look one way and he’d strut that way. She’d look down and he’d head toward her. She’d walk away slowly and he’d make a big circle around her to get back into her sightline. She’d stop, then go somewhere else. He’d circle her again. This went on for quite some time and amidst many other busy pigeons. It was clear to everybody, including us bystanders, the other pigeons and the lady herself, that he was doing this for her. Soon the dynamic changed once again. She began to exhibit very dignified yet very aloof behavior. She completely ignored him. At the (continued on next page)

TYPOS, SLIP-UPS & OMISSIONS, HAMPTONS STYLE By Dan Rattiner One might expect mistakes to be made in a small town every once in a while. But just last week, so many of them popped up, it was hard to believe such bungling was possible. In Sagaponack Village, there was the matter of the error in the newly passed zoning code. Apparently, in typing it up, the typist fouled up. Those businesses which were non-conforming and pre-existing not only didn’t have to be brought up to code, but they were—here’s the error—allowed to expand in the future up to twice their current size. The error became known when the Animal Rescue Fund (ARF) bought a property on

Montauk Highway in that village, where they intend to build a much larger store than is there now in order to accommodate the needs of their thrift shop, which they will move from Sagaponack once the new facility is complete. “This is much too big,” the village told ARF when first shown the plan of the big new store to be built in Sagaponack. Then they found it was not too big. It was legal. “That is why we bought it,” a representative of ARF said. “We need lots of space for the home furnishings—beds and chests and sofas and things.” “It’s a mistake.” “If we had known that, we wouldn’t have

bought it.” The property has a 1,700-square-foot house on it. They will expand it to 3,100 square feet, though they could take it to 3,400 square feet if they read the code correctly, which they did. The code is being corrected. But, woof, ARF wins this one. In East Hampton Village, village trustees have discovered that a law preventing residents from bulldozing the ancient Double Dunes, a line of oceanfront sand dunes extending six miles between Georgica and Amagansett, does not exist. They thought it (continued on page 18)

same time, she held herself tall. There was a self-awareness in this. It had not been there before. She continued to do what she did before, but with grace and style. If he wanted to look, well, so be it. He could have a look. But he couldn’t touch. And then something very unexpected happened. It was like right out of a movie. He just gave up. He stopped paying attention to her altogether. He found a crumb on the pavement. He went over and ate it. He looked for another crumb, found one and ate that. He walked completely away. If she wasn’t interested, what could he do? He couldn’t go on with this forever. I know that pigeons do not have the ability to change their facial expressions, but I swear, in every other way imaginable, this girl

expressed alarm. Where did he go? Has he changed his mind? Was it something I did? Or didn’t do? She quickly walked over to him. He walked away. She came up alongside him and looked at him. Nothing. He didn’t even know she was there. In fact, he walked away again. It was over. But it wasn’t, of course. She followed him. She tried the standing-up-tall business. He didn’t respond. She tried walking gracefully. She did her right-in-front-of-him thing again. No dice. I’d say, at this point, we had been watching this little drama for about five or six minutes. They were apparently in no hurry. They did have, after all, all day. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. He was

just standing there, looking at something, and she walked up from behind him until their bodies were side by side. His a little bigger, hers a little smaller. She leaned into him. THAT, he understood. He let her do that for a while. Soon, however, this matter proceeded to the next phase. I don’t recall who started it, but at first it appeared to be alarming, or potentially alarming. First, one of them would peck the other in the head and around the eyes. Then the other would return the favor. Each would close their eyes when the pecking got near there. For the top of the head, they’d lean down a bit. A bond of trust seemed to form from this. Soon the pecking began to also include around the neck. The pecks would go down to the neck then back up to the eyes and the top of the head. It sure looked good to me. “I think they are cleaning each other,” my wife said. “You think?” “No idea.” This went on for another three or four minutes. Given the quick, darting movements that pigeons make, this was real serious foreplay going on, although it never did get below the neck. I admired it. Finally, it was on to the next phase. You could not make this stuff up. They turned to face each other, opened their hooked beaks, turned their heads 45 degrees, stepped in close and locked their beaks together. They wiggled around like this with their beaks locked, then they unlocked them and repeated. Soon it progressed further. One would stick his or her closed beak down into the mouth of the other and give it a little shake. This was so strange. But then with beaks instead of lips, maybe it wasn’t. But what was it? Were they feeding each other little mites they had found under their feathers? Were they French kissing? Were they expanding on the trust they had established earlier while pecking one another? Were they doing all three? Finally, it happened. They disengaged. He walked around her, made a guttural noise and jumped her. He got right up on her back for just a second, maybe two. And then he got off. While he was up there, though, he did something under her wing feathers. Something happened, but it was too fast to see. He was like a magician. Then he hopped off. “That was it?” I said. “Yup.” “Sort of a disappointment, no? After all that?” What happened next? He fell asleep, tucking his head under his wing? She fretted? Stomped off? Not at all. They continued on with some of the earlier behavior. They leaned against one another. They turned and gently pecked each other in the head again. Then, well, I don’t exactly know what happened after that. My sandwich wrapper fell to the ground, a big flock of pigeons came in and landed all over everything and I lost track of them. In conclusion, I would like to offer this small news item I just read in the New York Post. “PEPSI SCRAPS PICKUP APP PepsiCo has removed its iPhone application (continued on page 18)

McGintee & Ferry Two Peas in a Pod, with the Money Slipping Away, 15 Years Apart By Dan Rattiner Bill McGintee resigned from his job as East Hampton Supervisor on October 5 not because political opponents hounded him out of office, or because a big hatchet job was done on him, but because he was scared that a District Attorney investigating things might put him in jail for a long, long time. In my opinion, McGintee should have resigned a long time ago, when the mess he made of things was pointed out. He did not. So things got worse. And if not for the efforts of District Attorney Tom Spota, who could not believe a person could mess things up so badly without pocketing some of the money himself, McGintee would be our supervisor today. The fact is, McGintee never used any of our tax funds for himself or his family—there were no fancy cars nor expensive vacations. We now have very thorough and expensive proof of that,

thanks to a team of assistant DAs who went through all the files and checkbooks. This has turned out to be an embarrassment for our politically ambitious DA. He needed to find something to be able to put the handcuffs on McGintee. Incredibly, though McGintee might have been incompetent, he was honest. I think that McGintee himself very likely did not know if he had stolen anything. His level of incompetence—and I do not mean anything personal by this—was so great he had no idea where the money was coming from and going to. Maybe he DID take some of it. He would not have done it intentionally. But what if he DID? Somebody with all his ducks in a row would be confident that he’d be cleared of all wrongdoing. My guess is that McGintee simply did not know how this would turn out. He resigned. He will not be indicted. That is the deal. But didn’t McGintee do SOMETHING wrong?

He sure did. He spent this town into the dumps. Too bad for us. In many ways, McGintee’s story is very similar to that of a man named Dr. John Ferry, Jr. that occurred 15 years ago in Southampton. At that time, Ferry, who had a doctorate in hospital administration, became the president of Southampton Hospital. A dashing, handsome man filled with ideas, he was at first seen as a savior of the hospital, which, at that time, was just sort of bumping along and barely breaking even. Ferry began implementing his ideas. He brought in a concierge. He brought in valet parking. He ordered a stem-to-stern remodeling of the hospital’s interior by a noted designer. There were paintings on the walls, new track lighting and a grand entrance. Ferry said he was going to make a “boutique” hospital for the (continued on page 24)

COME FOR A DRINK AND I’LL SHOW YOU AROUND By Dan Rattiner Bernie Madoff’s Montauk house, initially valued at $3 million when his scheme unraveled and an inventory was taken of his holdings last November, was sold three weeks ago at auction for $9.4 million to developer Steven Roth. Roth, 67, is the billionaire chairman of Vornado Realty Trust, the company that developed and built some of New York City’s tallest skyscrapers. This was pocket change for Roth, and the truth is Madoff’s Montauk house is modest by any oceanfront standards. It’s 2,800 square feet, and has only four bedrooms and a tiny swimming pool. Madoff’s black 2001 E320 Mercedes, on the

other hand, valued at $20,000 by appraisers last November, went for a mere $14,250 on Friday. The buyer is a New Jersey neurosurgeon named Gregory Przybylski. Another car sold at that auction—they sell lots of cars at every auction—was a 2007 Coachman Freelander RV owned by a lower profile Wall Street swindler, hedge-fund whiz Sam Israel. Appraised at $27,000, it went for $27,500. Israel, after his scheme was discovered, faked his own death, then lived in his car for 22 days before turning himself in. It is interesting to speculate why the Madoff items sold with prices so wildly differently from

their appraisals, while other items did not. Obviously, a person’s high profile makes a huge difference. But why the difference upward for the property and downward for the car? The car was almost a steal. In perfect condition, it’s a oneowner, nine-year-old popular luxury car, with only 43,000 miles on it. As for the house, real estate prices tanked. And who knows what you get when you buy a house? Well, there is only one vacation house in the Hamptons that is (or was) Madoff’s house. You can sit in it, you can invite friends over to it. Its design came from the mind of an unbelievable (continued on page 26)

did. It doesn’t. The Double Dunes are a unique series of dunes that extend back from the ocean as much as a quarter of a mile. They are unlike any in the world. About three miles of them are in the Village of East Hampton, and about three miles of them are adjacent in the Town of East Hampton. They are protected by rangers from the State Department of Environmental Conservation, and are supposedly supported by village and town laws. The town has such laws. The village does not. “Our laws only protect dunes a certain number of feet from a house,” a village official said ruefully after poring through the ordinances. The fact that the village does not have an ordinance was brought into the spotlight a year ago when a rich homeowner named Ron Baron built a concrete wall parallel to the beach for 800 feet through the Double Dunes on his property. No one had ever done that before. It was a flagrant violation. The town went after him, and he ultimately had to jackhammer the part of it in the town out. It was quite clear at the time that what he did in the village was legal because there was no such law. The wall is still up there, and the village ignored the problem. In recent weeks, however, the village has been scrambling to prevent other village residents from bulldozing the dunes, which, suddenly, they have begun to do. The village rewrote the code to add the restriction and hopes to send it to the state for its stamped approval by this past Monday.

In the meantime, though, two oceanfront homeowners in the village have had bulldozers out, trying to flatten the dunes so as to improve their ocean views. One is Brian Brille, president of the AsiaPacific operations of Bank of America, who has started operations to flatten the dune, put in a retaining wall, relocate a wooden walkway and re-grade and landscape the project with native plantings. He proposed this six months ago. The village building department, seeing no reason not to, approved it. Last week, the village said that he could bulldoze until Monday and get whatever he wanted done by that time. But that was it. Brille is on the Board of Trustees of The Nature Conservancy, which supports the protection of the Double Dunes. Also underway is a Double Dune destruction project by Christopher Brown, a resident of Further Lane in East Hampton Village. This past week, Brown’s bulldozers were working furiously to re-grade the dunes on his property. Brown is also on the Board of Trustees of The Nature Conservancy. Finally, there were the laws passed recently by the State of New York requiring all surfcasters to buy $10 state fishing licenses. Their reasons are that they want to keep track of how many fishermen are out there (they are desperate for money), and they want to better see what kind and how many fish are being caught (they are desperate for money). No one bothered to look into the laws on eastern Long

Island where in three towns, Southampton, Southold and East Hampton, there are ancient trustee laws that prevent the state or anybody else from charging local residents to fish in the ocean, ponds or bays. These laws have been upheld in the courts over and over again. The state law went into effect on October 1. All around the state, people are buying licenses online and in sporting goods stores. On October 2, the three East End towns filed a lawsuit, and so far as anybody knows, even though the law was passed, not one state police officer has asked a surfcaster to show him a license in those towns. The matter will probably be in court for years since it is highly unlikely the state will go into its ordinance books with an eraser. We know the outcome.

that promised to help men ‘score’ with different types of women, about a week after it was criticized for stereotyping. The soft-drink and snack maker announced its decision yesterday. The application, called ‘Amp up before you score’—used to promote its Amp energy drink—was unavailable for download on iTunes and removed from the brand’s site. The application gave users pickup lines to woo two-dozen stereotypes of women and a scoreboard to tally their conquests. PepsiCo apologized on its Amp Twitter page, saying the application tried to show the ‘humorous lengths guys go 2 pick up women.’”

By T.J. Clemente Southampton Supervisor Linda Kabot and her opponent for the position, Councilwoman Anna Throne-Holst, faced off on Oct. 22 at a debate sponsored by the League of Woman Voters of the Hampton at the Rogers Memorial Library. Moderated by the League’s Barbara Jordan and drawing more than 225 attendees, the debate showcased two women who’ve been at the center of Southampton town government the last two years. Although Kabot and Throne-Holst were both dressed in white blouses and dark business suits, it was clear from the opening statements that the similarities ended there. Kabot, the Republican incumbent, insisted that her challenger basically ran against her for the last year from the inner workings of the board meetings. She chided Throne-Holst for being aligned with the Southampton Police Union and against a town health care reform plan that would raise costs for town officials. (Kabot does not take part in the town’s program; Throne-Holst’s entire family does.) Kabot stressed her own strong leadership in the myriad budget nightmares thrown at her by an administration she defeated two years ago. She asked to be re-elected to “continue the work” of righting the wrongs of a culture that controlled her party and town for too long, stressing she had the experience to right the town through these troubled times. Throne-Holst, the Democratic party challenger, basically said in her opening statement that change was imperative in this election in

order to instate competent leadership “that has experience in economic matters.” She explained that from day one of her time on the Southampton Town Board, she was “shocked at the lack of accountability and financial planning” at Town Hall. To combat this, she held up her “action” plan—a sort of business plan for the town that will turn around its byzantine financial practices and put new systems in place to end the government’s apparent incompetencies of the last few years. With questions coming from the audience and a panel of well-known journalists, the candidates answered very respectfully. In fact, the most interesting dynamic of the debate might have been the civility between these two rivals. There were no rude interruptions, insult-hurling or desperate charges. The candidates showed they were used to presenting their opinions at town board meetings. They

spoke with emotion and passion. Both are poised political leaders. However, their differences are pronounced. Throne-Holst doesn’t believe that Kabot has the career experience to deal with the complicated accountability issues the town must identify, clean up and change. Kabot, of course, believes she is the one with the experience to deal with these difficult times, which include a challenging situation with the town’s police union over a new contract. She just about proclaimed Throne-Holst’s support of the police union as dangerous. In the end, the debate wasn’t about details, but the apparent difference in philosophy and styles of governing offered by the candidates. Throne-Holst will be an agent for total change though “restructuring and reorganizing the town,” along with its budget. Kabot offered the experienced hand that’s already righting those woes. After a 10-minute intermission, the four candidates for Southampton Town Board entered: Conservative and Republican Party candidate Jim Malone, Democratic Party Candidate Bridget Fleming, one-year incumbent Democrat Councilwoman Sally Pope, and incumbent Councilman Chris Nuzzi. Their messages can be summed up by their own words. Malone stressed he was the man who would and could “do more with less.” Fleming proclaimed, “Our government is not working,” and represented the “momentum for real change.” Pope stressed that, “Service has been (continued on next page)

It provides hope for possible solutions to this dilemma that has plagued black students for years. Director Derek Koen and producer Ouida Washington will host a post-screening panel discussion. “Many of our boys of color get lost in the educational system,” said Cannon, who herself has a 14-year-old African-American son. “It usually starts in middle school and goes downhill from there. We have to start looking at this issue more closely and come up with solutions to turn this epidemic around.” On Friday, Nov. 6, the festival hosts its third annual “Spoken Word” at the SH Cultural (continued on page 23)

The Makeover that Still Makes a Difference

By T.J. Clemente In today’s world of using green appliances and increasing the value of your home, many are revisiting the idea of upgrading the kitchen. Scott Smith of Smith River Kitchens in East Hampton is considered a legend by many because of his skills, knowledge and track record of custom kitchen design and cabinetry installa-

tion. Smith explained that based on his experience, an old kitchen can devalue sale price by $20-$30,000, whereas putting in a deluxe, smartly designed modern kitchen increases the value from $50,000 to $100,000. Well-designed and high-quality cabinetry with full custom installation starts at about $12,000. Completely redoing a kitchen starts at about $20,000. Yet for some homeowners, even after considering the return on investment, a kitchen renovation is a hard sell. Years ago, a friend said of her husband Phil,

Now, Cleaner Water The Jacobson Center for the Performing Arts is bringing Ruthless! The Musical back in a week of performances at Guild Hall. Ruthless! tells the story of a third-grader who would literally kill for a part in the school play. This merry, melodramatic musical is directed by Eric Jacobson, and stars Joan Lyons, Melissa Monterosso, Karen Peele-Hochstedler, Velaine Pfund and Sue Vinski. Book and lyrics are by Joel Paley, and music is by Marvin Laird. Showtimes are Fri., Oct. 30 and Sat., Oct. 31 at 8 p.m.; Sun., Nov. 1 at 2 p.m.; and Wed.-Sat., Nov. 4-7 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20. For more information contact Guild Hall at 631-3244050, or visit www.jacobsoncenter.org.

After a two-year campaign spearheaded by Peconic Baykeeper and supported by the Towns of Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Babylon, Islip, Brookhaven, Southampton and the Fire Island National Seashore, the entire South Shore Estuary Reserve has been designated a federal No-Discharge Zone. This designation requires vessels to discharge all sewage, treated or not, at pump-out facilities, thereby preserving water quality and protecting surrounding marine life. To obtain approval, Peconic Baykeeper demonstrated the need for greater protection of the natural resources within the estuary. The South Shore Estuary Reserve includes more than 110,000 acres of open bays and tributaries from the East Rockaway Inlet to Shinnecock Bay. Said Baykeeper Kevin McAllister, “As Long Islanders, we’re deeply connected to our waters, and it is our responsibility to ensure their long-term vitality. ”

“He sends Harvard $300,000 every year but wouldn’t let me spend $20,000 on the kitchen. I did it anyway and in the end I was holding him back—he really got into it.” Of course, you could be a DIY-er, but a real estate agent told me that people who do kitchens themselves usually don’t save money and end up devaluing their homes. “These are million-dollar homes, not trailers,” he said. “Yet some homeowners try to take short cuts on the kitchen, which is perhaps the most important room in a home. What are they thinking?” Everything has a season, including kitchen upgrades. Design is typically done early in the year and most of the work is usually completed before June. August is another popular month for planning and design for homeowners who want the project completed for the holidays. Smith explained that installing cabinetry takes two to three weeks. Designing, building and completing a total redo will take from two to three months. To do the job, Smith River’s licensed architects provide 3-D renderings of a project that can be combined with historical period detailing. The company offers a full range of countertop, tile and finish materials, which they install. While in these times a redo may not be a priority, a new kitchen is valuable; it improves energy usage and ups the list price of a home for sale. Smith thinks the cost of renovation is a small price to pay, considering what it could save elsewhere. He chuckled and said a well-designed kitchen “makes a living room obsolete.”

Reuters / Thu., Oct. 22, 3:15 p.m. ET PALERMO, Sicily â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Sicilian builder transferred from prison to house arrest tried to get himself locked up again to escape arguments with his wife at home... Santo Gambino, 30, went to the police station and asked to be put away again to avoid arguing with his wife... Police charged him with violating the conditions of his sentence and made him go home and patch things up with his wife. This would never happen on Shelter Island. Imagine a man preferring to be put in jail rather than be home with his wife. Joe: Roger, did you see this article? This guy gets himself put in jail rather than hear his wife yammer on and on about nothinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Roger: Yeah? Jeannieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already bitching about me waking her at 4 a.m. when I go deer hunting. Joe: Do you make a lot of noise? Roger: Never. I tiptoe around, and get my gear, and guns. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry. He wakes her up when he pulls up and the top lights on his truck cab shine into our bedroom. Then he comes in for coffee. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not noisy, but sometimes we have to wake her up to find the filters, yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;know... Joe: Well, she can go right back to sleep. Roger: She says the smell of the coffee wakes her up. I thought it was the bacon. Then she yips about not leaving egg dishes all over and starts rinsing dishes and complaining that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now 5 a.m. and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sense going back to sleep since she has to get up at seven with the kids. Man, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get out of that house. Joe: We all put up with it, man. You think

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be appreciative that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing home free venison. Jennie always rags on about how the venison is actually about $116/lb. She does this weird calculation thing, adds up the cost of my gear, guns, bullets, boots, knives, gas, everything. Roger: You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell her the truth, do you? You always trim off 25% of the price of anything you tell your wife you bought. Joe: I know. Otherwise the venison comes out to $182/lb. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never hear the end of that! Roger: You know, we could get arrested together after deer season and share the cell. Joe: Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so crazy. We could do something to get jailed for two months, get three hots and a cot, and no complaining. Roger: No lectures on not letting the baby play with the empty rifle. Joe: No complaints about washing clothes with deer blood on them. Roger: No one telling you not to throw your bowie knife at the shed door because someone might open it at that exact moment. Joe: Women worry about the most trivial stuff. Roger: I know. I always lock the shed door before I throw my knives. Joe: What about the time you nearly clipped Tom when he opened the door? Roger: That was two years ago. Besides, Tom is a big guy. The knife couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gone in far enough to do much harm. Joe: So what can we get arrested for? Roger: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a coupla bright guysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bring a six-pack and figure it out in the deer blind.
