Dan’s Papers November 4, 2011 danshamptons.com Page 7 Advertorial SOUTHAMPTON DAY CAMP IS GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY Opponents of our proposed renovation and upgrade of the existing day camp site on Majors Path contend that a day camp on that site is the wrong use and will not be a benefit to the Southampton community. They have argued that the day camp we propose to reopen will potentially pollute Little Fresh Pond, increase traffic on Majors Path and consume the neighbors with noise that will negatively impact the enjoyment of their own properties. They would have everyone believe that those negatives contrast with no possible positives from this project. The facts and the science of this project will clearly demonstrate, as I have outlined in three prior published articles that Little Fresh Pond will IN NO WAY be effected by the day camp. The facilities were never planned to be anywhere near the Pond or wetlands and, in fact, they are more than two and a half times further away than the law requires. No campers will even be swimming in the Pond. The septic systems we are building will be brand new, state of the art and will replace all old existing cesspools. Our sewerage flow will be kept within the Suffolk County Health Departments requirements – less than if the site were used for houses – and will be used only 10 weeks a year – not 52. Moreover, the groundwater on our property, independent studies have proven, flows AWAY from the Pond, not toward it. Traffic to and from our site will be less than that of a successfully run tennis club on our site and much less than if the site were committed to houses. The noise issue is a non-starter. An average of 20 children PER ACRE, buffered by woodlands, using the property between 9:30 and 3:30 weekdays for 10 weeks will hardly intrude on our neighbors who are sufficiently far enough away from any activity area. How different is it to a school yard?
THE BEST USE FOR THIS SITE
Several neighbors have argued that they would prefer houses. Of course, that is, until someone proposes to build any on that site. The site, at a minimum, can accommodate 17 large homes. There is an argument to be made that a developer might even be able to get 27 homes onto the site. So how would just 17 homes compare? • • • • • • • •
17 homes would use exactly the same daily sewage flow that our day camp will use. 17 homes would produce this sewage for 52 weeks per year – we will do so for only 10. Construction of 17 homes would consume about 8 acres of existing woods. We will preserve all but approximately one acre of the existing woodlands – our camp will operate mainly on land that has already been cleared. Traffic would increase to over 40 cars in and out daily on the property EVERY DAY, ALL YEAR. Our camp will have significantly less traffic, at specific hours, weekdays only – for only 10 weeks per year. Noise? Surely, new neighbors will have pools, pool parties, guests – EVERY DAY. And the Pond: 17 homes will mean perhaps 70 or more people ACTUALLY USING THE POND – where our campers will not.
Whether our opponents admit it or not, given that the owner of this property is entitled to use it for something – the day camp preserves the property better, disturbs the environment much less, and will impact our neighbors hardly at all. What’s more: the property has been a camp since the 1940s and while we will be improving the use, we will not be changing it from what it was before most of our opponents ever got to the area.
GREAT FOR THE SOUTHAMPTON COMMUNITY JOBS About a week ago, Southampton’s Town Council passed two resolutions designed to encourage JOB CREATION. The national economy is suffering, our State’s economy and the Long Island economy all need one thing: JOBS! Our day camp will create several dozen of construction and landscaping jobs – right away! Those jobs, for the most part, will be local to our area. Local vendors will be engaged in supplying these construction materials which will further boost the economy. On a long-term basis, we will hire between 60 and 70 summer employees for about 10 weeks a year. Our full time caretaking and grounds staff will add two to three positions full year – even more in the warmer months of April through November. That number doesn’t include the 25 mini-school bus drivers, dispatchers and mechanics that service the buses that will pick-up and drop-off our campers and counselors. They can use the summer income too! Although 70-75 people came out to oppose our project at the last ZBA meeting (not the 100 reported as I, my team and other applicants were thrown into the count), let’s not discount completely the 60-70 people who will have needed jobs – they weren’t at that meeting – but they count too!
BUSINESS Our day camp in East Hampton spends between $250,000 and $350,000 with an assortment of local vendors for fuel, food items, landscaping products, hardware, furnishings, carting of garbage, just to name a few. That’s money spent in the local community. And what happens then? Businesses have an easier time surviving tough times and MORE JOBS are created!
GOOD NEIGHBORS I operate six other camps in a variety of communities. We have a long history of being a good neighbor in the communities we are a part of. While I won’t recount every example, I will give you just the latest: One of my camps is in the Town of Shandaken in New York’s Catskill Mountains. When Hurricane Irene hit the Village of Phoenicia in the Town, devastating businesses, homes and public property, it was our Foundation that stepped up. We donated $100,000 outright, raised $18,000 more from our camp families, and have now given neighbors and local organizations in excess of $125,000 to help rebuild homes and businesses. Some of our detractors should speak with Rob Stanley, the Town Supervisor in Shandaken or some of the citizens of Phoenicia about what type of neighbors we are. And you should know; our day camp in East Hampton welcomes over 25 children from the local community each year at no cost, providing them with the much needed benefits of a summer in camp. Those 25 children – and the 25 like them who will benefit from our Southampton Day Camp – weren’t in the audience that night when the ZBA met either. Neither were their parents or caregivers. The bottom line is that a vibrant, rebuilt day camp operating on our site on Majors Path is not only the best use of that property – it’s a great addition for the Southampton community and will create jobs, help our local businesses and be a good neighbor for the community.
Respectfully, Jay S. Jacobs

Delivery Adventures Fascinating Things Happen When You Deliver a Free Paper By Dan Rattiner A friend of mine told me the other day that she saw somebody go into King Kullen in Bridgehampton, grab a stack of Dan’s Papers, put them on a bench, take a bunch of stickers out of her bag and one at a time, stick them on the front cover of all the copies in the bundle. Then she put them back in the rack. She was advertising her massage service. “I know you charge for that,” my friend said. “A sticker on the front cover. That’s big-time advertising.” “That’s true,” I said. “Who was it?” “I have no idea.” “Did you pick up a copy?” “I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction.” That was the end of this conversation, but it did remind me of another delivery story. I was in midtown Manhattan and there was someone making out real well with my paper. He was a shabbily dressed man, with a stack of Dan’s Papers under his arm, hawking them for $2 each on Sixth Avenue. The paper is free. “Two dollars, two dollars,” he said. “All the latest news in Dan’s Papers.” I approached him and asked him about this. “Two dollars,” he said. “A great read.” Dan Rattiner’s second memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS TOO: Further Encounters with Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities, is available in hardcover wherever books are sold. The first memoir, IN THE HAMPTONS, published by Random House, is available in paperback. A third memoir, STILL IN THE HAMPTONS, will be published in May.
“I wrote much of it,” I said. He stared at me blankly. “Two dollars,” he said. So I gave him the two dollars. We’ve had all sorts of interesting adventures delivering the paper over the years. The paper gets trucked from a printing company to the Dan’s Papers office, then delivered to all the stores. There’s all sorts of things that can go wrong. One time, in the early years, I was in my car, driving on the Napeague Strip toward Montauk. I had two other people in the car, both friends from college who had come out to my East Hampton home for the weekend. So I was giving them a tour going all the way out to the lighthouse. I pointed out the Walking Dunes. I got to the place where the road splits, and I told them we’d go to the left, onto the Montauk Parkway, which Robert Moses had built with a long-ago Montauk developer named Carl Fisher. “We also might run into a Dan’s Papers delivery truck,” I said. “I’ve got two guys out in one of them. Today’s the day they deliver to Montauk.” I was proud of our delivery. I thought they might like to see it in action. It was about 11 in the morning. I was pretty sure, knowing the route, that we might see a truck pulling into a motel parking lot or something. The trucks were red in those days, with white lettering. We turned left to go up the Parkway, and as we went up the hill, I saw a Dan’s Papers truck heading the other way toward me. This was a truck that had just left the office an hour earlier. They should have been going the other
way. And there was only one person in it. What the…? As it came by me, I did a full U-turn and gave chase. It took awhile for me to get him to pull over because he had no idea whatsoever who was in the car behind him honking and flashing his lights. But finally, he did. I got out and, cop-like, swaggered over to him. In my car, my friends stared wide-eyed. “Explain this,” I said. The back of the truck was full of papers. “And where’s George?” “Oh,” he said. “We had a fight,” he said. “Tell me.” “Well we started the delivery route at Lunch (a k a The Lobster Roll) and then the White Sands Motel, and then he said he wanted to go for a swim. We went to the second motel, The Driftwood. He got in the back of the van and changed into a bathing suit, then took a stack of papers, got out and said he’d be back in 10 minutes. This was going to slow us down. It made me mad. So I just drove off.” “Drove off?” “Yeah.” “You left him there?” “Yeah.” I don’t recall the rest of the story, but this guy was not long for this job. As for George, it turned out he hitchhiked back to the office in a damp bathing suit, I found out later. Then there was the time one of the delivery boys wound up in the hospital. I was not in the office at the time of the incident. It was handled by our office manager, very well as it turned out. The kid’s name was Oscar. He’d been working (continued on page 14)

Poxabogue Splits East Hampton’s Share of Golf Course is Sold. 5 Holes Remain By Dan Rattiner East Hampton Town has sold it’s half of the nine hole Poxabogue Golf Club, which is in Southampton Town but only a few hundred yards from the line that separates the two towns. As many people know, the club was purchased jointly by the towns in 2002 to save it from developers. A month ago, East Hampton said
it wanted out of the arrangement. It had initially been hoped that East Hampton’s half of the club could be sold to Southampton, but that has not worked out. Now, a billionaire, who would like to remain anonymous, has purchased East Hampton’s half. According to a spokesman for the buyer, the man is an avid golfer and intends to have the
third, fifth and eighth hole for his private use. Also, the second hole, for six months a year, which has yet to be decided upon. As the rest of the course is public and owned by Southampton Town, regular golfers will simply have to play around the holes that are now off-limits.
CASE AGAINST BONACKER FAMILY THROWN OUT By Dan Rattiner A division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is in charge of enforcing the fisheries laws here, has a very poor reputation in this community. For over a decade, local fishermen complained to Washington about astronomic financial penalties being levied on them by these officials over the slightest indiscretion, and in some cases the officers seized catches and even boats and other fishing equipment and vehicles for violations that were just miniscule. And they treated the fishermen like criminals. While doing this, the officers would show up in brand new cars, SUVs and even sports cars, and they would talk openly about the government-paid vacations they took to exotic areas and other perks of their jobs. Many of the fishermen, losing their boats to these enforcers, had to leave the business. The result of the complaints by the fishermen, late last year, was the firing (actually a transfer) of the head of the region amidst accusations that he and his men were operating a virtual police state, overcharging the fishermen and then putting in for reimbursement from the government millions of dollars in unnecessary expenses. After the firing, NOAA announced it would implement changes in the system and basically
said it wanted to bury all the rest under the rug. They’d forget about these million dollar indiscretions, and they’d “set things straight going forward.” The fishermen were outraged. They complained to our local Congressmen, and in the end, Congress ordered an investigation into the irregularities. That is ongoing. Then in later news, the fishermen were offered all the overcharges back. That is currently also ongoing. With this as background, it is interesting to see what happened when a state conservation officer of the Department of Environmental Conservation charged a sister and brother, Kelly and Paul Lester, of fishery violations on the very same day. She was charged with selling shellfish without a permit from a selfserve clam stand on the front lawn of her home on Abraham’s Path, and he was charged with catching more fluke than the legal limit of 140 pounds. I’m not sure about the fishing charge, but Kelly Lester’s charge was filed as a misdemeanor, and could result in jail time. This charge was considered an outrage in this community. The Lester family has been fishing local waters for many generations, going back to 1712. Their right, and the right of other citizens
here to catch and sell fish goes back to an edict issued by the King of England in 1686. That edict, the Dongan Patent, remains the law of the land today. The Lesters said they would take this matter all the way to the Supreme Court. They were particularly concerned that DEC officers had come on their property when nobody was home and confiscated the clams and also some scallops and fish. Some of these items were intended as the Lesters’ dinner. Reportedly the officers took the fish to Stuart’s Seafood Shop down the street and sold it, receiving a check made out to the DEC. With the summonses written, however, it had to go to court. In a hearing in August with East Hampton Justice Lisa Rana, the charge against Kelly was reduced to a violation. Last Wednesday, the matter came up for a bench trial in East Hampton Town Court. The courtroom was packed with fishermen as the case of the Lesters vs. the DEC was adjudicated. Judge Rana heard both sides. Daniel Rodgers, the lawyer for the Lesters, questioned Richard Massio, the DEC officer who filed the charges. Wasn’t it true he didn’t actually see any clams or fish being sold? He (continued on page 16)

as a bagger at the Quogue Market checkout line, and thought he’d like to work outdoors in the sun. Took the job. He was pretty good at it. That day, he was asked to “break in” a new kid. The kid would drive. Oscar would jump out with papers along the route, deliver them to a store, then return to the truck and do it again. I’d gotten a call from the office manager that afternoon that Oscar was in the hospital. He’d fallen out of the truck while it was moving and he was pretty banged up but otherwise okay. I didn’t even ask if the papers finished getting delivered. I just headed straight for the hospital. I found Oscar in bed in a room, where they were holding him for observation. He was all scratched up. He was very apologetic. “I’m so sorry,” he said. “If you want, I’ll go back out and finish the job. I just had THIS happen.” “The delivery will be taken care of,” I said. “Not to worry. What happened?” “The new kid’s name is Billy. I told him I had this way of doing the delivery really fast, cowboy fashion. I’d teach it to him.” “Cowboy fashion?” “It worked like this. He’d drive slowly along, flashers on. I’d reach in the back and get a bunch of papers. Then I’d leap out of the car, deliver them, and then I’d catch up to him and just slide back into the passenger’s seat. Then I’d do it again.” “So how did you fall out of the truck?” “Well, the key to this is not to close the passenger door all the way. I’d hop back in,
grab more papers with my left hand, but hold the passenger door open a few inches with my right hand. That way, you don’t have to keep closing and opening the door. You just leap out and leap back.” He paused, but I didn’t say anything. Then he had this to say. “So it worked fine. I’d done this before. But then there was something I didn’t figure.” “What?” “Well, he was picking up speed, and I was sitting there next to him and he just made this left turn onto Main Street sort of fast-like and the door flew open and I just came flying out.” More silence. “Oh, and he stopped the truck then. I’d rolled over and over and over in the gravel. But I’m FINE. I’m really FINE. Please don’t fire me.” I hadn’t even asked him about the seat belt. I already knew the answer to that one. “So the police came and an ambulance came. I’m just really sorry. He said he’d finish the route. I’m sure he did. Even without me. He’s just fine.” I told him to get well soon, and I’d have his job waiting for him. He worked for us the rest of the summer and the next one two. He did have a learning curve. There was no more cowboy delivery. He assured me of that. The last delivery story I want to tell is probably the best one. The paper was printed in New Jersey during the night at that time. The big moving van filled with 30 tons of newspapers would be coming out around 5 a.m. I went to sleep around 11 p.m. The delivery manager and the drivers would be at the office
to meet it. At 4 a.m. the phone rang. “Hello?” “Mr. Rattiner? This is the Suffolk County Police Department. There’s been an accident on the LIE. Can you get down here? With a truck?” “What?” “At Exit 70, Manorville exit. Your newspaper bundles are scattered all over the road.” “What happened?” “The driver, from your printer, didn’t make the off-ramp.” “He’s okay?” “Everybody’s okay. It just fell over on its side as he was coming off the Expressway and slid for about a quarter mile. Your bundles are all over the road.” I could drive to the office in Bridgehampton, pick up one of our delivery trucks and head out there. But it would be a much smaller truck. I told the officer that. “Just come on out and help.” “Roger.” And so I did. An hour later, as dawn was rising, I walked around amidst all our newspaper bundles, more than a thousand of them, by the side of the road where everybody had put them so they wouldn’t delay the flow of traffic. The truck was still there. The driver was not. He’d gone off to phone the printing company and have them send out another truck. I hauled bundles into my van. Every front page, all along the LIE, had a lead story I had written. Soon the sun would rise and it would be light enough to be able to read them.

Pranks Fishing a Sex Doll Out of Town Pond & the Biggest Prank of All By Dan Rattiner Last Monday afternoon, an anatomically correct sex doll was found floating in the beautiful Town Pond in downtown East Hampton. The police came with fishing rods, hooked it and reeled it in. Presumably it was a she (or it wouldn’t have been a sex doll), presumably it was inflated (or it wouldn’t have been a sex doll) and presumably it did not impress the swans in the pond (who have seen it all. They are only impressed when a motorist drives a car into Town Pond.) I cannot show you a photo of the sex doll being removed. It was gone long before we had a reporter there. As editor though, I did think we ought to have a picture of the sex doll floating
in the pond in Dan’s Papers to accompany this story and suggested we go out and buy one, but my staff wouldn’t agree to such a thing, even when I suggested we could float it face down, mafia style. So here the story runs without a photograph. No arrests were made in connection with this incident. I’m not sure that even if they found who did this, the police COULD arrest the person, as I don’t recall any ordinances in the village that this might have been in violation of. It is a prank, though. It brings to mind one of the world’s greatest pranks that happened right here in East Hampton years ago. Alongside this, the sex doll in the pond pales by comparison.
At the time, and this was in the late 1950s, there was occasional outrageous talk among the kids, never serious talk, in which the high school kids would threaten to burn the school down some night so we wouldn’t have to go there anymore. No, I am not going to tell you the kids burned the school down. But I can tell you this. At the time, the high school was in what is now the Middle School on Newtown Lane, and it did not pass anybody’s notice that railroad tracks ran behind the school and there was a spur from the main line to within 50 yards of the back of the school cafeteria built so the school could (continued on next page)
OCCUPY WALL STREET, OCCUPY LONG WHARF By Dan Rattiner For two Saturdays in a row now, people in Sag Harbor have been standing out on Long Wharf with signs announcing their solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Meanwhile, others say they don’t understand the message. They feel sympathetic to the movement, but are confused by it. I hope to clear this up with the rest of this article. Here are a few things that might help. * * * John Paulson and his wife Jenny donated several million dollars to Southampton Hospital for the creation of a beautiful new Emergency Room. Their name is above the door for what they did. It is a great thing they did. Lives will be saved due to their generosity.
On the other hand, not long ago, members of Occupy Wall Street demonstrated in front of his Manhattan apartment building. They consider him part of the 1% who have accumulated vast sums of money while they have gotten none, and can’t find jobs either, or jobs that pay well enough for them to buy the basic things in life. Paulson made billions betting against subprime mortgages, as early as 2006. He won that bet. Some say he had a hand in the creation of some bad financial instruments. So it was a sure thing he would win. Billions of dollars worth of these instruments were sold—and those that bought them lost their money. He won the money. It’s dog eat dog out there. And as Gordon Gekko famously said in the movie Wall Street, “greed is good.”
* * * In Friday’s New York Times business section, on the front page, was an article headlined DEBT PLAN COULD DENY THOSE WHO BET ON DEFAULT. People who would have been interested in reading this were the speculators who made financial bets that Greece would go bankrupt. If it did—and there were a second worldwide financial collapse, they would profit by hundreds of millions of dollars. If a plan was approved to prevent this, these traders would lose. The Times’ article explored the meaning of the deal worked out by the European Union that would save Greece. Didn’t seem there was anything these gamblers could do about (continued on page 18)

get supplies. It wasn’t used anymore because, by this time, school supplies were brought out in trucks rather than on freight trains. The tracks, however, remained. So, no, the kids weren’t going to burn the school down. They were going to have a train drive into the cafeteria. Around 4 a.m. on a Monday morning in April of 1956, some persons of note went out behind the school, walked out the back lawn up the spur and out to where it met the main track line and tried to pull the switch so that any train coming along eastbound would be shunted over onto the spur from that point on. The switch had a lock on it. So one of them went back home and returned with a fireman’s axe. They gave it a few smacks and the axe broke, so now one of them went home and returned with a hacksaw. With this they were able to saw through the lock. Now they could pull the switch. And they did. Then they went home and back to bed. There were lots of Long Island Rail Road trains that came out toward Montauk every day back then. A 3 a.m. eastbound train had passed through safely without incident, so investigators, later studying the accident, knew that the switch to the spur had not been activated at 3 a.m. The problem was with what arrived heading eastbound at 6:22 a.m. It had stopped a halfmile away at the East Hampton station at 6:14 a.m. and a few people got off and a few got on. Then the doors closed and the locomotive, spewing white smoke under the strain, started off again and picked up speed. It was now rattling along the straightaway there

Of course, the engineer didn’t (continued on page 30) imagine that such a thing would be a factor and so when the locomotive turned onto the spur and he realized he was going to hit the school, he braced himself. And then the locomotive came to the end of the spur, crashed through (continued from page 13) the steel block placed at the end, dropped to the lawn, sunk down and proceeded along, digging a deep furrow through the wet grounds as it replied he did not.

LONG ISLAND RAILROAD FRAUD SCHEME challenge to the authorities to present credible doctors to disprove their clients’ diagnoses. According to the indictments, during this period, over 1,050 L.I.R.R. employees were recommended for disability by both Ajemian (839 cases) and Lesniewski (222). Also charged in the case is Maria Rusin, Ajemian’s office manager, who fainted at the arraignment. The case alleges that the doctors were paid fees in cash of $800 to $1,200 for altered diagnoses. In addition, bogus charges were reportedly made to insurance companies in the millions of dollars for fraudulent treatments for non-existing ailments. Both doctors are board certified orthopedists. The 74-page complaint listed only the most
By T.J. Clemente Investigators from State agencies and the F.B.I. have uncovered what they say is a huge fraud scheme involving employees of the Long Island Railroad (L.I.R.R.) who falsely claim to have severe and disabling injuries enabling them to collect enormous sums of money in disability payments and pensions. According to Preet Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan, some employees claimed to be so disabled they could not sit, stand, walk, or climb a set of stairs, but somehow, for example, were able to play a rigorous game of tennis. Investigators videotaped some of these instances. For example, an employee who claimed severe back pain, Steven Gagliano, allegedly was able to complete a 400-mile bike tour. Another defendant, according to the complaint, Gregory Noone of East Islip, who reported being unable to grip, bend or crouch was nonetheless able to play a round of golf 100 times during one nine-month period, and play a regular game of tennis to boot. According to special agent Adam M. Suits, a special agent with the Office of the Railroad Retirement Board Inspector General, the fraud scandal could pay out, if not stopped, as much as $1 billion of false disability and pension claims/payments for employees of the Long Island Rail Road. So far 11 people have been charged, including two doctors, Peter J. Ajemian and Peter Lesniewski, who allegedly participated in this so-called “disability mill,” and were responsible for 86% of the disability applications filed before 2008 during a 10-year period. A third doctor who was not named has since died. Attorneys for the doctors pleaded their clients innocent at the arraignment, stating a
“egregious” cases, according to investigators. According to The New York Times, during that time, virtually every long-term career employee of the railroad was applying for and receiving disability payments, giving the Long Island Rail Road a disability rate three to four times that of the average railroad. Another defendant, Sharon Falloon of Merrick, was reportedly seen in surveillance video taking a 45-minute step aerobics class at a gym. Falloon received disability benefits, claiming she had a hard time going up a set of steps. These cases will no doubt be of great public interest moving forward.

Meanwhile, the incomes of the least affluent 80% fell to the point where people have become desperate. Protesters from Occupy Wall Street— largely white, educated and middle class— demonstrated, among other places, both outside and even inside some of the major art auction houses in New York City. In these hallowed halls, paintings go for millions of dollars. It was the 1% selling to the 1%. Protesters had snuck into the bidding rooms and were disrupting the bidding. Others confronted employees, cursing
screams at them inches away from their faces and making anti-Semitic and racist comments. “It’s a very scary situation,” a friend of mine who was there told me, using the present tense since he knew this would continue.

The next day, I saw the results of a study conducted by the European Union comparing the quality of life in 31 westernized countries in the world in providing help for the sick, aged and young, and services to deal with poverty, education and health.

In income inequality, America ranked fifth from the bottom, ahead of only Mexico, Chile, Portugal and Turkey. * * * At a Republican candidates debate last week, all 10 of those running for president were asked if they would support a plan which would ask that for every $10 cutback in government services for the needy in America, there would be a $1 increase in the taxes on those making over a million a year. None said they would. Republicans say that millionaires already give their fair share. They point out that the top 5% wage earners already provide 60% of the taxes. But this makes no sense. The top 5% percent wage earners have practically all the money. So of course they would provide 60% of the taxes. Our President keeps coming up with the numbers that say if taxes on the millionaires could be increased by just 5%, he’d be able to balance the budget and create tons of infrastructure projects that would put Americans back to work and bring the country out of recession. The position of the Republicans in Congress, who block this from happening, say doing that will impinge on the country’s rich to provide jobs, and it is the jobs they create that will bring the country out of recession. But this also makes no sense. Early on in the Great Depression, money was given to the rich and it just stayed with the rich. What ended the Great Depression was the government giving everybody jobs—massive numbers of them—to create armaments for what was feared would be—and was—another world war. Only after that jumpstarted the economy, were these programs ended so the free market system could do its thing going forward into the 1950s. * * * Here is an e-mail sent out the Saturday before Halloween requesting that everyone supporting Occupy Wall Street demonstrate in front of Gracie Mansion to protest a dinner being held there the next day. * * * Dear NYC Activist, Occupy Wall Street survived Saturday’s storm, and now they need our help. Mayor Michael Bloomberg is hosting an intimate dinner at Gracie Mansion on Sunday night for Senators and corporate executives to urge the Super Committee to “go big” and cut $4 trillion in federal spending. To eliminate the budget deficit, the Super Committee could simply tax the top 1% through a Millionaires Tax and a Robin Hood Tax on Wall Street speculation.But instead they plan to slash Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and everything else essential to the survival of the 99%. Their joyful champagne toast will be “Let them eat cake!” Naturally, the 99% were not invited to dine with the 1% at Gracie (continued on page 28)

Election Coverage
2011
DAN’S PAPERS ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS This year, Dan’s Papers conducted interviews with Suffolk County political leaders and candidates from all the major parties. We are grateful for the extensive time they took out of their busy pre-election days to answer our questions and give us some insight into their thoughts about the November 8 elections on the East End. Make no mistake about it, Rich Shaffer, the Chairman of the Suffolk County Democratic Party, and John Jay LaValle, the Chairman of the Suffolk County Republican Party, selected and supported slates of highlyqualified and dedicated candidates who were all committed to making the East End of Long Island the best place to live and raise families. However, on Election Day, citizens can only cast one vote per candidate and it is that very private moment that is the essence of the greatness of the American political system. The following endorsements are not a knock against any candidate, but instead a nod to the ones we feel deserve a vote. These choices are based on the responses of all those who were
interviewed. In the race for the next Suffolk County Executive between Republican Angie Carpenter and Democrat Steve Bellone, we give the nod to Bellone because of his executive experience. In the 1st and 2nd District of the Suffolk County Legislature, our choices are for the incumbents—Republican Ed Romaine and the Democratic-Independence Party candidate Jay Schneiderman. Both have had and continue to have majority support in their districts because they are hardworking, likeable incumbents and seem to represent their constituents in the best way possible. Cornelius Kelly will be a voice to be heard from again, but we don’t see him winning his first-ever election against Schneiderman. In the Town of Southampton, the nod goes to incumbent Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst based on her dedicated, innovative leadership and caring. Her write-in opponent, former Supervisor Linda Kabot, added to the race, keeping the debate lively and

interesting. As for the Southampton Town Board candidates, we choose Brad Bender and Bridget Fleming because they are qualified and diligent. Perhaps Throne-Holst, if given a majority on the board, will be capable of doing greater things for the future of Southampton. As for Southampton Town Justice, Judge Ed Burke Sr. gets the nod because his lifetime of work for the town is exemplary. The nod for Southampton Town Trustees goes to incumbents Bill Pell (D), Fred Havemeyer (R), Eric Shultz (R) and challenger Janet Beck (D). This was an especially tough decision because of the high level of character of all the candidates. In the Town of East Hampton, incumbent Supervisor Bill Wilkinson gets the nod for re-election because he has done a great job restoring credibility to the town. Walking into a very tough situation he set out not to make friends but to restore order to Town Hall. He succeeded on both accounts. Zach Cohen, the Democratic candidate for Supervisor, will no doubt play a role in town politics, but his valiant candidacy, at this time and in this political climate, will fall short. With six candidates vying for only two open East Hampton Town Board spots, the nod first goes to Jane Behan (I) and Peter Van Scoyac (D). Behan will be a voice of reason, having been the wife of a Republican legend, yet she’s always been a registered Democrat. As for Van Scoyac, he seemed to have the best grip on all town issues. We must note that Steven Gaines was an extremely close third on our card. He has a “voice of reason” that will still be heard after the election. As for the East Hampton Town Trustees’

Neighbor By David Lion Rattiner A-Rod. Is there really anything more that we need to say? Alex Rodriguez is one of those ball players that some love and some hate, and then they reverse their position on a whim. The bottom line with Rodriguez is that the guy can hit a baseball. He is considered one of the best baseball players of all time, and he is the youngest player to ever hit 500 home runs, breaking a record set by Jimmie Foxx in 1939. He also beat out Babe Ruth’s record when he became the youngest baseball player to hit 600 homeruns. But it’s not just homeruns that make Rodriguez one of the most hated Yankees by Red Sox fans. As a player he has had fourteen 100-RBI seasons in his career, which is better than any baseball player in history. When A-Rod gets up to bat, the chances of a run scoring are pretty darn good. A-Rod’s personal life is another matter. There was a time during the summer of 2009 when A-Rod and Madonna had a little thing going on and the press loved it. This newspaper, along with every other newspaper in the modern world, reported on it. Madonna and A-Rod sleeping together in the Hamptons? Does a headline get any better than that? No it doesn’t. That was a tough year for A-Rod. In February of that year, it became public knowledge that Rodriguez used steroids from 2001 to 2003, after he admitted it to the public. Rodriguez was chastised because he had broken so many records, even though it was common knowledge at the time that the league was turning a blind eye to performance enhancing drugs, which were rampant throughout Major League Baseball at the time. Obviously, based on his name alone, Rodriguez is an Hispanic American. He was born in New York City and is of Dominican descent. He spent most of his childhood in Miami, Florida, where he played shortstop at Westminster Christina High School. During his junior year, thanks to the help of A-Rod’s bat, the school went on to become high school national champions. Rodriguez was hitting over 500 at this time. Even in high school, he was making headlines. He became the U.S.A. Baseball Junior Player of the Year and earned a tip of the hat from Gatorade as the Gatorade National Baseball Student Athlete of the Year.
Alex Rodriguez Baseball Player
against the Boston Red Sox when he was just 18-years old—he got his first hit, a single, against Sergio Valdez on July 9. Rodriguez’s breakout year was 1996, when he played shortstop for the Mariners and hit 36 homeruns. He led the American League in runs that year, total bases and doubles, and ranked as one of the league’s lead homerun hitters. That year he earned himself “Major League Player of the Year” and nearly won M.V.P., losing in a very controversial selection to Juan Gonzalez. Rodriguez’s final season with the Mariners was in 2000, then he signed with the Texas Rangers. At the time, the contract he got was the most lucrative contract in sports history, earning him a 10-year deal for $252 million. It was an interesting time, because for some reason the fans just didn’t like Rodriguez with Texas and booed him frequently. Most felt that he was making too much money and was overrated, even though he was leading the American League in homeruns and runs scored while playing for Texas in homeruns and runs scored. In 2003 he was awarded Most Valuable Player for the American League. In 2004 the New York Yankees needed a third basemen, and set their sights on Rodriguez. During that year the Rangers traded Rodriguez to the New York Yankees for Alfonso Soriano, and Rodriguez suddenly became a third baseman and also changed his number from 3 to 13, since the Yankees had retired the number 3 in honor of Babe Ruth. His time with the Yankees has been tremendous. In 2007 he became the American League’s Most Valuable player. On November 15, 2007, the New York Yankees and Rodriguez agreed on the “basic framework” of a 10-year, $275 million contract that would have him playing until he is 42. Sadly (for Yankees’ fans), and happily (for Hamptonites), just after the New York Yankees were eliminated by the Detroit Tigers in Game 5 of the MLB playoffs, Rodriguez had a little time on his hands and it has been rumored that he was here and has purchased a house in the Hamptons. Rodriguez, in addition to his travels out here with Madonna, has also stayed at the home of Jerry Seinfeld. Love him or hate him, Rodriguez is here to stay, and we can expect him to be hitting homeruns.
Madonna and A-Rod sleeping together in the Hamptons? Does a headline get any better than that? Rodriguez chose not to attend the University of Miami and instead went straight to becoming a Major League Baseball player. He was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 1993, playing Class AAA ball. He became one of the fastest rising stars with the Mariners, and in about a year, was brought up to the Mariners. Almost as if the cosmos had something to do with it, his very first game playing major league ball was

trains did run on time anyway, manned by our company interns—who were not invited to the party—together with various regular commuters who volunteered to help. PORCUPINE EXPLODES, SUBWAY SHUTS Last Wednesday morning was one of the worst days on the subway system. At 10:23 a.m., the entire system shut down for three hours after a wayward porcupine, stepping on the third rail as train number 7 passed by heading from Bridgehampton to Water Mill, exploded in a shower of quills. Tires were punctured and went flat on several of the cars, windows were shattered and when the train limped into the Water Mill Station, it was found that half the sliding doors were quilled shut. Fortunately the riders were able to exit by going to adjacent cars. The system was shut down for 45 minutes so the crippled train could be towed off the main line and onto a siding, and then another two hours and 12 minutes to evict a distraught second porcupine who was at the site of the explosion and could not stop crying. After her removal (by net), the workmen moved in and swept up all the stray fur and quills. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BEN HARRIS AND JOHN MALONE Hampton Subway congratulates Ben Harris and John Malone on their first wedding anniversary. They met two years ago while both worked in the tunnels as flagmen, showing green flags so the subway motormen could move their trains ahead and red flags when it was necessary for the motormen to bring their trains to a stop. Both men had been
Week of November 3 – 9, 2011 Riders this week: 10,009 Rider miles this week: 74,856 DOWN IN THE TUBE Straphangers were treated to new Hampton resident Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) of the New York Yankees, jogging from the first car of the train through all the cars to the last car of the train, then back to the front and back and forth, for the trip he took between Westhampton Beach and Montauk last Friday. As it happened, in Westhampton Beach he got on the last car but in Montauk got off in the front car, which is where he was by chance when the train arrived at his destination. He was not in uniform but was wearing one of his World Series Rings. LANTERN WALK THROUGH THE TUNNELS Nearly 200 local grammar school children, dressed in costume, participated in a free after-school, guide-led, hour-long lantern walk through the darkened tunnels (the lights were dimmed) of the subway system on Monday October 31. As happens every year, not all the children came out when it was over, and so the guides go back down and pick up the stragglers, finding them through the sounds of their whimpering. Last year there were 12 stragglers, this year nine. The guides have
gotten better at rounding them up. IVAN KRATZ DAY As the system does every year, it celebrated the birthday of Ivan Kratz, the man who founded and built the Hampton Subway system in 1932. It takes place as a big staff dinner in the cafeteria and surrounding offices on the second floor of the company headquarters building in Hampton Bays. It’s a major event in full Halloween costume because Kratz was born on October 31 (in 1889) and what with the disco lighting, the loud music, the liquor, dancing and all the rest, the surrounding offices, including that of our General Manager Bill Baines, were often locked for a while as various couples went in and out to take some rest from their energetic labors. The evening was more memorable than other birthdays because this year, due to the financial cutbacks, the event was not catered and so the attendees were asked to bring all the food covered-dish style. By an extraordinary coincidence, as it turned out, everyone brought something featuring pumpkin, so there was pumpkin soup, pumpkin salad, pumpkin sodas, pumpkin stew, spaghetti and pumpkin, pumpkin stewed vegetables, pumpkin pie and pumpkin ice cream. And nothing else. The entire Subway staff called in sick the following morning, but that day, Tuesday, the subway

Dan’s Papers November 4, 2011 danshamptons.com Page 23 destructive un-payable debt and the banks were willing to let them be that stupid, thanks to deregulation of banking policies, caused by the government. The same is true for student loan debt, by the way. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the vast amount of people I know who have debilitating student loans. I can remember vividly being in high school and being advised (more like being told) that taking out student loans was the way go. So many people did this, and like the real estate loans, are now in dire situations. It’s so important for parents to really think clearly about what they are getting their children into. College does not guarantee success financially, in fact, many degrees today that are tenaciously pursued by students guarantee the exact opposite. And then those same students end up on Occupy Wall Street because when they graduate, the illusion of a degree in ancient pottery being of any bankable value is lifted. The word is debt. That is the word that is the elephant in the room. Every single bubble leading to a crisis, has to do with taking on too much debt. This is true from the dot com bubble, to the real estate bubble, the growing student loan bubble, the banking bubble and every other bubble ever made. That’s how
TWENTY SOMETHING by David Lion Rattiner
I’ve noticed that ever since more attention has been drawn to the debt crisis, thanks to Occupy Wall Street protestors, suddenly, everybody I know thinks they are an economist. What’s sort of interesting though is that most do not really fully understand what is going on, not even the Occupy Wall Street protestors. All they really know is that they are buried in debt, have college degrees, can’t get jobs no matter how much schooling they take on, and meanwhile, there are all of these rich folks around them who went through life during a period of rising assets, specifically real estate, and who are for the most part much older than they are and never had to suffer financially what they are suffering through in America. Ask a baby boomer if he ever lived in a car while searching for work. The answer is no. Even the drug addicts of that generation didn’t have to worry about finding a place to sleep that was warm. The ones that lived in cars, CHOSE to live in cars like VW Vans, and thought it was cool. Most conversations I have are all over the place, people blame the Federal Reserve, and half don’t even really know what that is. They
blame “corporations,” they blame “the banks” and they blame “Wall Street.” Sometimes they name specifically wealthy people who are what I like to call the celebrity wealthy, which are rich people who for some reason like to see their names in the media and pay publicists to get them in there. I think the reason people like to weigh in with their opinions on the economy is because they think it is subjective, as if to say, if we all agree on an idea of something, then it will be true. But money does not work like that, although I will agree the illusion is there and it is very seductive. Real estate prices didn’t go up because we all thought that they would, and was thus a self-fulfilling prophecy. No, real estate went up because of the willingness of people to putThan themselves into More a Shovel-DANS_Quogue Sinclair

M The Geek’s Gift Guide: Part 1
Now that you’ve packed up your Halloween costumes and eaten all your candy, it’s time to gear up for the biggest Hallmark holiday of them all: Christmas. Actually, it’s Christmas, Chanukah, and Kwanzaa. Despite the rough economy, electronics manufacturers continue to invent boatloads of insanely clever devices for us to spend our money on. This year has so many goodies that I can’t fit them all into a single column. So for Part 1, let’s start with three fun tech toys that are priced under $100. Call this the Greek Bailout List: Item #1: The AmpliTube iRig ($35) The iRig is for the budding musician in your life. It’s a fun piece of hardware (with a free app, of course) that enables you to jam along with your favorite songs—a musical version of karaoke, if you will. Here’s how it works: Simply connect any wired instrument (guitar, violin, etc.) and your iPhone or iPad into the iRig box. Once you’re plugged in, you can play any song from your iTunes library and play chords, riffs, and solos at the same time, in sync to the song. The iRig
also has pre-built sound effects to let you mix and record your own tracks. Here’s the best feature for parents: no amps! You can plug in headphones to the iRig and enjoy the entire experience inside your head, insuring blissful quiet for everyone in the house. So if your kid wants to be the next Pete Townshend, but still hasn’t worked out that Pinball Wizard riff, then this is definitely a must-have gadget. Item #2: The Seagate GoFlex Slim Portable Hard Drive ($80) Hard drives aren’t the sexiest of holiday gifts. But with the explosion in online video, downloaded songs, photos and more, a portable hard drive is an incredibly useful (and often overlooked) piece of IT. Seagate’s models are fairly reliable and priced to move. I like the GoFlex Slim model. $80 buys you 320 gigabytes of storage and a USB 3.0 connection for fast, easy transfer to all computers. The real beauty of this drive is its size: it’s about the same thickness as a #2 pencil, so it literally fits into your back pocket. It’s a great accessory for your laptop, notebook, or other portable device—and it never hurts to have some extra storage around. Item #3: The ION iCade Video Game Cabinet ($100) Technically speaking, the iCade isn’t really a “technology” gadget. But it’s so darn cool that it simply has to go on my list. The iCade is a box. Not just any box—it’s the same size and shape as those old school arcade games that we all loved back in the 80s and 90s. You simply connect your iPad to the docking port, download the Atari app, and within seconds you have access to over 100 authentic arcade games.
So what’s the big deal? The iCade has joysticks and fire buttons. This solves a huge problem; classic games like Asteroids and Centipede just aren’t as fun when you have to swipe or flick the screen. With the iCade, you can play the games the way they were meant to be played—no quarters required. (Hint to all wives, moms and daughters reading this column: I know that you really don’t want to install an arcade game in your beautiful basement or tidy garage. But your husband/son/dad really wants this gift. Trust me.) Next week: we’ll step up in price for the big spenders out there. Happy shopping!

THE SHELTERED ISLANDER by Sally Flynn
Get Ready for Thanksgiving
November has started. We have three paychecks left until Christmas, four until the credit card bills for Christmas arrive. We are officially in Holiday Mode. Here is your checklist from now until Thanksgiving: 1. First order of business, check how many loyalty points you have at your grocery store to ascertain whether or not you qualify for the free turkey. 2. Watch cooking shows for new Thanksgiving recipes, you have to write them down or print them from the website; either way a hard copy has to go into the Thanksgiving section of your cookbook. 3. Start making a list of ingredients to shop for. Also, start a Christmas/Chanukah gift list. 4. Try to recall where you put the decorations. You took great care to put them where you could find them easily this year, so think hard—where would you have put boxes so they were out of the way, but easy to access. 5. Finish your ingredients list and plan to shop the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, like everyone else. 6. By now, you’ve cleaned out two closets and found the items you couldn’t locate for the Fourth of July, so make sure to isolate those items in a marked box and store them in a safe place where they’ll be out of the way, but easy to access next July. 7. Plan your off-Island shopping trip. You can authorize yourself to buy at least one new kitchen machine, like a new crockpot with the new S.M.A. (Save My Ass) feature that lists restaurants that deliver in your area if you screw up the pot roast. It also allows you to program in friends’ phone numbers; your crockpot will call your friend and tell her to get there quick with anything you can put on the table that will save face. Crockpot bonding is a higher level of female bonding. 8. Give it up, you’re never going to find the box with the Harvest/Thanksgiving decorations, and they are too old anyway. Best to add new decorations to your off-Island shopping list. You’ll find the Thanksgiving decorations box when you’re looking for the Easter box next spring. 9. It’s now a week before Thanksgiving and it’s time to go off-Island and overspend. You will return exhausted, but triumphant. This will finally be the Thanksgiving you’ve dreamed of because you planned ahead and did everything right according to Oprah AND Dr. Phil. You may take off one day to charge up for the big push. 10. It’s five days before Thanksgiving and you realize you don’t have all the ingredients your new recipes call for. You need cream of tartar, fresh mint, red pepper flakes and several others. However, you didn’t put the new recipes in your cookbook right away and now you can’t find them. If you can’t find the recipes, why buy anymore of the expensive ingredients?
11. Cleaning the house took two days, so it’s now two days before Turkey Day. You found the old Thanksgiving decorations under your stack of winter sweaters, in an easily accessible place, in a box marked, “THANKSGIVING DÉCOR.” No wonder you couldn’t find them. 12. You’ve given up on the new recipes, which your husband wasn’t going to like anyway. You content yourself with new decorations and at least you scored a new crockpot, or mixer, so the season wasn’t lost. 13. The Wednesday before T-Day, you prepare and cook all you can ahead of time. Tomorrow
you will put on a wonderful, traditional spread. You and your girlfriends and the kids and grandkids, will sit around the table and enjoy eating and conversation. The men will be where they always are on Thanksgiving. 14. Resolve to remember next November not to get all excited about putting on a great spread for your husband and expect him to shower you with compliments. Realize that even if you stuffed the bird with caviar, the men are just going to pile everything on a plate and drag it to the living room to watch that G-damned football game anyway.

bubbles are made, through crushing debt. People keep asking me what the next bubble is and the answer I give them always scares them. They argue with me that gold is the next bubble until they are blue in the face. I am an avid gold investor and frequently defend it. They believe gold is a bubble and I sort of feel sorry for them that they believe this, because nobody is taking out an adjustable gold rate mortgage these days. I believe, and I believe this strongly, that the clearest bubble happening right now, continuing to build, is the government. We have so much debt paying for debt within many sovereignties all throughout the world that it’s as if we are financing World War III. But we are not financing World War III, we are simply paying for things that we cannot afford, but we have been led to believe that we can afford through the use of out-of-control debt instruments that have been building on the government’s balance sheet with nobody willing to acknowledge it seriously, and the reason nobody is willing to acknowledge it is because, much like an out-of-control real estate loan, the thought of what will happen (losing your home) is too much to bear.
The governments of Europe and the largest one, the United States, are operating in a scenario like this. We can’t imagine what a government shutdown will look like, so we delay it, raise the debt ceiling, print more money and keep it all going and pretend that it is not important and that somehow, through something magical (words like “the business cycle,” “recovery,” and “the ups and downs of the economy” are all thrown in at this point), it will work itself out and it will be something Americans will never have to face. Kind of like the kid taking out a student loan unable to imagine actually ever paying it back, so he just signs it thinking, “I’ll worry about that when I have to.” But taking on debt on top of debt is all just delaying the inevitable, and increasing the debt just makes it worse. Much worse. We will continue to delay it and the reason we will is because we can. We will do it until we have no choice not to. How long that will be is the unanswerable question. It could be in the next two years, it could be in the next 10, but it is going to happen, one way or another, and in a lot of ways, we are already seeing signs of it.
assigned to the same spur, Bridgehampton to Sag Harbor, so this was one of those meetingby-chance things. A year ago November 2, both men called in sick and drove to Massachusetts where a same sex marriage was performed— same sex marriage was legal there before it was legal in New York—and then they drove back down to get out onto their next shift. Congratulations to them. COMMISSIONER ASPINALL’S MESSAGE Halloween is always a wonderful time for me and my wife. Crowds of children, in costume, come to our oceanfront estate, walk up our driveway to the front door—we leave the electric gates open for two hours—and are treated by some of our servants, who give them free gum balls or candy corn which they take away in little bags. I’m told lots of the kids are really cute.

Portraits Revealed at Parrish Art Museum a portrait and at the same time celebrating the Spanish painter’s 17th-century portrait. A Frederick Dielman sketch of a young Gerson hangs next to the photographs, and a James Abbott McNeill Whistler etching entitled “Bibi Lalouette� mirrors the sketch. The provenance of each piece is included, telling another story of the interconnectedness of the artists, their subjects and the museum. Artist Jane Freilicher donated the first of many Porter pieces in the show. The 1967 oil not only depicts Freilicher and her daughter Elizabeth in a pastoral scene, but it records the friendship of the two East End painters. The second section of American Portraits is dedicated to teenagers and children from

Giorgio’s
“Namuth’s Pollock # 10� by Joe Fig
By Oliver Peterson American Portraits–Treasures from the Parrish Art Museum is the third in a series of thematic exhibitions drawn from the museum’s collection, and it continues to clarify exactly why the work should be on permanent display. The thoughtfully curated exhibition includes 75 works in a variety of media and approaches by some of the East End’s most beloved artists. Beginning with the late 19th-century work of William Merritt Chase, visitors are taken through more than a century of art and shown that, no matter how it’s presented, a good portrait shows much more than its featured subject. Oscar Wilde’s quote, “Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not the sitter� is presented on the wall upon entering the show. It asks the viewer to consider how artists reveal themselves at a particular moment in time, and the subsequent three rooms of work attempt to answer the question. Alice Gerson’s 1899 photographs of her husband William Merritt Chase set the stage for a show full of interesting connections and juxtapositions. The three small photographs capture Chase posing and painting their daughter Helen as Diego Velazquez’s Infanta Maria Teresa, thus creating a portrait within
various eras and all walks of life. Lydia Field Emmet’s 1900 oil, “Portrait of a Young Boy� features a preteen boy in formal dress posing with a golf iron. It hangs alongside Tina Barney’s 1990 photograph entitled “The Boys,� which captures a moment between three similarly aged children wearing country club formal wear nearly a century later. Another of Barney’s photographs, “Tim Dresser,� shows a strapping young matador in 2003. It bears an uncanny resemblance to Walter Stuempfig’s 1955 oil “Tony as Bullfighter,� which hangs to the left and features another handsome blonde boy in matador’s garb. The pieces are strong

We’ll vote for the best costumes and they will serve us all cake! * * * The facts are that an alarming number of middle-class Americans no longer have a place to live except in their cars or with relatives, have either no job or one that doesn’t provide enough for the basics in life, and see no future for themselves unless things change. They’ve gone through their savings, now feed their families beans and other low cost foods (25% of American children now live in poverty—a shocking statistic), see their government paralyzed by the lobbying of the rich and that is the story. They are now demonstrating. And they want change. That is who is out there demonstrating—or at least 1/3 of the people
demonstrating.
* * * I have just finished reading an extraordinary book. It is called In The Garden Of Beasts and is the actual account of the activities of the American Ambassador to Germany and his family in Berlin in 1933. An immense amount of research went into this book, all taken from private papers, diaries and letters of those involved, including family, friends, dignitaries, government officials and political activists, both German and American. Everything in quotes in the book was actually said. Everything thought about and presented in the book was written in a diary or a letter. The new Ambassador, William E. Dodd, a professor at the University of Chicago, leaves his post and comes across the Atlantic by steamship with his family expecting to be there for a year or two. He arrives just after a charming, funny and angry Austrian, a man who has earlier led a group of citizens marching

in the streets protesting the rich who have everything while the rest of the country has almost nothing, has come to power. He has just been appointed Chancellor of Germany and he blames everything on the prior governments, on other nations, on the Communists, on the Gypsies and the Jews. Now in power, he continues to allow his followers to parade every day through the streets. Soon after his arrival, Dodd has to deal with American citizens in Berlin—a physician, a reporter, a tourist—who have been badly beaten for not properly saluting the parade of the Chancellor’s followers as they march the streets. These are the Beasts in this story. They beat, often even to death, not only people behaving badly at parades, but also any people who oppose them, including gypsies and Jews. The police do nothing. This is protest gone way out of control. Are there megalomaniacs who will come to lead Occupy Wall Street? During the 1960s, when the protests were also aimed at the government, there were not. One hopes that in this present situation, where the protests are aimed at those allowing the widening of the gap between rich and poor, there are not. Interestingly, Ambassador Dodd also had to deal, here in the U.S. in 1933, with two opposing groups of American Jews. One wanted the AntiSemitism in Germany brought to the attention of the League of Nations. The other group of Jews in America wanted the Ambassador to be quiet. Saying anything might only make things worse. Since 2008, our government has spent its wealth saving Wall Street at the expense of Main Street. Now, the demonstrators are saying, it’s time for Wall Street to save Main Street.

examples of artistic connections despite their mediums and the decades between them. The room also includes work by Porter, Robert Frank, Larry Rivers, Linda K. Alpern and Chase, among others. The next section is mostly a collection of selfportraits and artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; portraits of other artists. Notables include Joe Figâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2004 sculpture â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pollock #10,â&#x20AC;? which pays homage to Hans Namuthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photographs of the legendary painter, side-by-side portraits of John MacWhinnie and Fairfield Porter, each painted by the other, and very sketchy self-portraits by William King and Hans Hoffmann. Namuthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is also displayed in the final room. Along with several more pieces by Rivers and Porter, the exhibition continues with large works by Chuck Close, John Chamberlain and Richard Avedon, as well as more unconventional pieces, including Ray Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1973 collage â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marianne Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hatâ&#x20AC;? and Wilfrid Zogbaumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abstract 1958 collage of models torn from the pages of magazines. American Portraits is an exhibition with many layers to consider. It delves deeply into the subject of portraiture, presents an array of the East Endâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internationally important artists, and gives visitors a glimpse of what is to come when the museum displays its permanent collection in the new Water Mill facility.

CLASSIC CARS by Bob Gelber
When the weather gets cold, cars are a lot like human beings. Automobiles hate getting up on a freezing morning, leaving the comfort of their garage and going out to face the freezing temperatures. In fact, until they warm up and have some hot fluids running through their systems, automobiles are downright cranky. Remind you of anyone, or any car you know? I remember when my old Ferrari or Porsche had to be coaxed to get going during a freezing morning. After their carburetors stopped spitting like angry cats, when the cars were first started, the gearboxes were as stiff as beef jerky and the fluid in the shock absorbers as thick as the fluid in a can of Campbell’s Tomato Soup. These classics were hard to shift and rode like stagecoaches when cold. Sure, things have calmed down now with more modern cars, but those high strung sports cars of not too long ago should teach us a lesson about today’s modern iron. Modern cars are really not that much different from older ones. Sure they may use multi-grade oil or perhaps run with synthetics, so the machinery doesn’t get as stiff when freezing as it did years ago. But underneath it all, delicate and sometimes soft (by metal standards) pieces of metal are still rubbing against each other. Most engines built today are made of aluminum and they all have a combination of many types of other metals inside, like piston rings and bearings. To no one’s surprise, these metals, when warming up, expand at different rates, which is less than ideal. For this simple reason it is important to warm your car up before you go roaring off on a cold morning. In fact, just a few years ago, it was common for many cars to have steel engine blocks with aluminum cylinder heads that expanded at a different rate than the steel block. I hope I haven’t bored you with metallurgy class 101, but do baby your buggy when it’s cold, especially if you plan to keep it a long time. Another interesting fact is that some cars have not only a water temperature gauge, but also a very useful oil temperature gauge. I’ve noticed that sometimes even when the water temperature gets to normal range, the oil temperature has not even budged. Be aware that oil takes a lot longer to get to operating temperature than water. Forewarned is forearmed. It really irks me that some new cars do not even have water temperature gauges. One more point. Nobody is nuttier about the importance of cold weather starting than pilots who fly little propeller-driven private airplanes. Powered by very pricey air-cooled engines, most aircraft engine manufacturers recommend that if it’s around freezing, one should actually preheat the engine. This is accomplished by blowing hot air into the plane’s air ducts for about an hour. At the very least, it is proper to turn the propeller several strokes to circulate the oil. Yes, it’s that important.
Other things cars and humans don’t like are ice or snow. To all you hot shots with four-wheel drive vehicles, stop driving so fast and showing off traction in the snow. Just remember, you may accelerate well, but you’ll stop no better than a regular car. In fact, if you’re in an SUV, that big, ill handling overweight brute will most likely take longer to stop than a car when the going gets really slippery. Also, if you have the misfortune to slide sideways and hit a low snow bank or curb, SUV’s have a bad reputation for turning over. Slow down, please. It wasn’t long ago that nobody had an SUV and four-wheel drive cars had not even been invented yet. For that matter, before fuel injection, you were lucky if your car started on a cold morning. Many of you out there who drove what was the most popular car of all time, the old air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle,
certainly remember freezing in the thing even when it was warmed up. Times have certainly changed, but one thought has stayed constant. Extreme cold weather sucks.

Prank
(continued from page 16)
The perps were, as you might have imagined, all local boys, and were all either seniors or juniors at the high school at the time of the event. Thus they were the class of ’56 and ’57. After graduation, this was, forever, to be the wonderful little secret they shared. It was only 10 years later that, some of them, now owners of some of the mom and pop stores that were prevalent in the Hamptons at that time, began to talk about this long ago event with big grins on their faces. I’d walk around town with a pack under my arm selling advertising in Dan’s Papers. A few would talk about it. They were men with names such as Dayton, Cooper, Osborne, Strong or Lester. “And you ought to talk to so-and-so,” pointing at an insurance office down the street, “about
this too.” Yesterday, driving along East Hampton Main Street past Town Pond going toward Bridgehampton and our offices there, I saw out of the corner of my eye, a full-size plastic pink flamingo standing in the pond, the water halfway up its spindly little legs. Neither the ducks or the swans were paying much attention to it. As pranks go, neither of these—the flamingo or the sex doll—can hold a candle to the great train wreck of 1956. But there may be something else in the works. And this would not be a prank. As I mentioned earlier, there have been occasions when a car has failed to make the 90-degree left turn at the corner of Woods Lane and
Main Street. When they almost but not quite make the turn, they wind up in Town Pond. When they simply barrel straight on through that intersection, as happens about every 10 years—usually a DWI situation—they pass to the south of the pond, knock down some signs, cross the grass triangle between Main Street and James Lane, cross the lane to smash into and through the picket fence in front of the Hedges Inn and, as has happened at least once, plow into the front porch of that establishment. The plan in the works that the Village is considering is putting a depression into the grass triangle, a sort of swale, so a car coming across would dip down into the swale as they approached and then have to climb up the swale on the other side and surely, the hope is, that this would awaken them enough to stop. I think the Village is completely underestimating the drivers of these cars. They don’t even slow down. Their cars will hit the swale and after coming up the far side of it, take to the air. They will fly over the fence, over the porch and, as you sometimes see in pictures in Newsday, wind up sticking out of the side of the second story of the Inn beyond. THAT they will not sleep through. Nor will anybody else. Don’t build the swale.

race, again by the very number of candidates up for election, making the best choices is tough. Therefore we have selected candidates who have made a difference and those who will continue to stand up for the historic ideals the town was founded on: Joe Bloecker (R), John Gosman (R), Diane McNally (R), Lynn Mendelman (R), Ray Hartjen (D), Rona Klopman (D), Debbie Klughers (D), Nanci E. LaGarenne (D) and Steven Lester (D). For East Hampton Town Justice the nods goes to incumbent Judge Lisa Rana because of her integrity and pure common sense, which she has exhibited in her every action. It must be noted that this year’s election is not the first Tuesday in November but the second one, November 8. The decisions that must be made for the East End for the upcoming year go beyond the political science phrase of “who gets what, when, where and how.” There will be painful cuts in jobs, programs and services countywide. Town and school taxes may rise for most households, and all of this will take place in a country struggling to get a grip on recent economic events that have shaken the globe. The good news is that good leadership always somehow rises to the rescue. Americans tend to solve problems. This all starts in the election process. The checking off of a box or the pulling of a lever on Election Day is meaningful, it says, “I chose this person over all others.” In America, if things are not going the way we like, we don’t have coups, we don’t have military takeovers, we hold elections. The power is in the will of the people and in the majesty of the vote. Use your vote this year most wisely.

NORTH FORK that they cannot sell local wines and that their customers just don’t want them. That is probably true, for a small percentage of their customers. Some people are perfectly happy drinking jug chardonnay made thousands of miles away to pair with their chicken fingers and fries. But, why not find a local chardonnay that tastes at least as good and doesn’t cost much more? Whether it’s laziness or just lack of interest on the part of restaurants, there are many who simply say, “Local wines don’t work” for them. There are some restaurants that do support the local wine industry. Restaurants like Southfork Kitchen, North Fork Table, Comtesse Therese, Amarelle, Luce + Hawkins and others have substantial local offerings. Most importantly, they pour local wines by the glass – making local wines easily accessible for diners. These are some of the area’s best, most successful, and in some cases most expensive restaurants. If it can work for these restaurants, it can work for any restaurant. One reason it works for them is a simple one: the local wineries support the restaurants that support them. Not only do winery owners and employees eat at the restaurants with local wines on the list, but when someone comes into the tasting room asking for dinner recommendations, what restaurant are they going to suggest – the one pouring local wines, or the one without?
OVER THE BARREL
by Lenn Thompson
It’s Time for More Local Restaurants to Support Local Wine
Long Island wines have never been better, taken as a whole, than they are today. Wines from top producers have gotten even better over the past five years and the wines being made on the other end of the quality spectrum have risen too. From $10-15 everyday wines to $100+ prestige cuvees, with a wide array of grapes and styles being used, there is a wine for everyone. And yet too few local restaurants support the local wine industry – the very industry that draws people to the East End, and thus to those very restaurants. Visit other wine regions in the world – from Bordeaux to Napa to South Africa to Spain and beyond – and more often than not local wines are served at the restaurants. A friend of mine recently had dinner in Barbaresco and the wine list was so focused on local wines that you couldn’t even get Barolo. If you were drinking Nebbiolo, it was Barbarresco. That’s like a restaurant in the Hamptons only selling wines from the South Fork because the North Fork is too far away. I’m not suggesting that local restaurants adopt this stance. Nor am I suggesting that they only sell local wines, but having one or two Long Island wines, too often of marginal quality, does not count. It’s not enough. Now, I know that restaurants need to be able to sell the wines that they have on their lists – I get that. I’ve heard some local owners and chefs say

A Wine Tour for a Reunion of Friends
Peconic Bay Wineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful vineyards
K. Posie
By Ellen Dioguardi The Facebook phenomenon really is amazing. Say what you will about itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down side, for me the up side has been very rewarding. It all started with my 30th High School Reunion, which was being planned just as Facebook became a part of my life, about two years ago this past May. Suddenly I was happily in touch with several classmates I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen or thought about in decades. After the reunion we all started meeting up in different places for 50th birthdays. Trips to Boston included high tea, trips to Vermont included snowmobiling and outdoor fun, gatherings on Fire Island were all about barbequing and the beach and so on. These mini vacations gave us all a chance to unwind and experience new places while renewing old friendships. Two weeks ago this group of Ward Melville Class of 1979 gradates descended upon the North Fork of Long Island for, what else, a wine tour. Since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the one East Ender, I took on the task of organizing the tour. We started out at 11 a.m. on a glorious Saturday with Peconic Bay Winery. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what other people look for in a good wine tasting stop. I imagine many people consider the wine they will be drinking more carefully. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worried, Peconic Bay and Pindar, our two main stops, have good reputations for turning out consistently top-rated wines. They did not disappoint. I wanted good service and a pretty setting. Our choices were perfect. While very different (Pindarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tasting, gathering and entertaining areas are much larger) both give a personal touch that is impressive. Our server, Allison, at Peconic Bay was a delight and the wine tour was enlightening. We were all particularly fascinated to find that the rose bushes planted at the end of each row of grapes act like a canary in a
The Gang
coal mine. Instead of signifying, as one in our group quipped, that the type of grape will produce RosĂŠ wine! Since the roses are susceptible to the same bugs and disease as the grape vines if they start to fail itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good sign thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trouble ahead. You learn
something new every day. We arrived at Pindar after 2 p.m. and just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go farther. The wine tour, interview with their winemaker Edward Lovaas and the large variety of wines to sample kept us busy till a lovely, golden glow fell over the vineyards and it was time for this very happy group to make our way back to Sag Harbor for the evening. We had also included One Woman Wines on our list, as the back-story on this particular winery was very appealing to me. In fact the original plan included ending up at Vineyard 48. However, even the best-laid plans must succumb to an abundance of wine consumption and we never made it to One Woman Wines or Vineyard 48. I regret this as both vineyards were very accommodating over the phone and I am sure would have provided us with a fine time. Thankfully one thing I know for sure with this group, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always another time for more wine!

& The view from The garden Jeanelle Myers
And then there are tulips! I wish it were that easy. If it were, I would plant tons of them every year. But it is not. Deer, squirrels, voles, slugs, rabbits and who knows what else, eat them above ground and below, before they bloom and after. Viruses and molds can maim and kill them. And if all of these things can be avoided, (by all sorts of techniques, maybe even including magic) they may or may not come back next year depending on the type you planted and the growing situations and the weather. Tulips are so unreliable as perennials that most professional gardeners I know treat them as annuals, planting in the fall and removing after bloom in the spring, which makes some sense considering that a bulb usually costs just over one dollar. All the above being said, when they do come up, they are spectacular and the embodiment of spring to me. So if you do not have deer or voles or tons of squirrels, try some. The Darwin Hybrids are the most reliable re-bloomers. One garden I planted with them about five years ago is still full of bloom in the spring.
I have also had luck with the clusiana type and some others of the “miscellaneous” category. The other types, which are so beautiful and alluring, I plant with care and plan for them to come up next year, period. I have the type of gardens where their possible reappearance the next year will not affect the planting scheme. If they are going into a traditional bedding situation, however, they will be removed after blooming. Tulips cannot be in wet soil in the winter and like to be in hot dry soil for the summer. There are various ways to plant them to discourage voles and there are sprays for deer online, but if these animals are going to be a problem, one may try forcing bulbs to be used in the house. Instructions are online on many sites. I am not good at doing this and rely on local nurseries for potted tulips when I need them. BUT there are other spectacular bulbs, which do come back, that the deer and voles do not like. There are many kinds of Allium from white to blue, purple, pink and yellow. Some are tiny and some have round heads the size of softballs and are as tall as 4’ (Do not plant one called “hair” though, or your garden next year will be covered with them and they are not that pretty). A large bed planted with Allium gigantieum or Ambadassor or White Giant is breathtaking and
magical. Allium schubertii is only 1’ to 2’ but is one of my favorite plants. It looks like living fireworks. The smaller headed alliums are wonderful tucked in small groups into the garden almost anywhere. Native to North America, camassia are late spring blooming beauties. They also tolerate pond edges and damp soil unlike other bulbs. They are 2’ to 3’ tall white, light blue to dark blue spikes of double or single starshaped flowers. Spectacular! Another favorite of mine is Bellevalia Pycnantha. It is 8” to 12” tall and has a very dark blue, almost black mucsarilike flower. Extremely eye catching in the garden. But even more eye catching is Nectaroscordum Siculum. What a plant!! I cannot do it justice with words. You must look it up. Even better, plant one. And these repeat and get bigger and better with the years. There are many other types of spring flowering bulbs that I have not mentioned, I have only mentioned my favorites and the ones with which I am most familiar. When the winter starts ebbing, we will be looking for flowers and now is the time to plant. For gardening discussion call 631-434-5067.

Thanksgiving traditions on both forks…
Perhaps we could trace our earliest East End feasting traditions to the Native Americans. Around 1640 they started to show colonists how to make samp and which fish were good to eat. They also taught newcomers how to hunt for whale just offshore. Some people had to eat a lot of whale back then. Our eating habits have evolved quite a bit during the intervening centuries. East Hampton Gourmet’s pies are so popular you have to special order ‘em. I make my own pies, so that’s covered. BUT I don’t yet make a turkey-shaped, turkey-sized tofu turkey….Not to be confused with Tofurky, Margaret Afif at East Hampton Gourmet makes a mean tofu turkey that is both dairy and wheat free! It’s freakin’ vegan, even. Though it tastes really buttery. Afif has been perfecting these babies for the last 30 years. For the last 10 years she’s been

& simple art of cooking by Silvia Lehrer
Shrimp are probably the most popular and valuable of all our seafood. And among them there is tremendous variation. We think of shrimp as pinkish in tone but some of the finest shrimp are whitish, which are sweeter than the pink ones. According to local sources these shrimp come up from South America, North Carolina, the Gulf of Mexico and Texas and are considered the best, as they’re consistent in quality and flavor. We also see the striped tiger shrimp and even reddish brown shrimp in the market place whose quality I question. From the fisherman’s point of view the most important variation in shrimp is their size. Classifications in size are approximate. For instance, the categories are 12 to 15 per pound for jumbos, 16 to 20 per pound for extra-large, 20 to 24 per pound for large, 25 to 32 for small and so on. When buying “fresh” shrimp in a reliable market be sure they are firm in texture and above all smell fresh, even if you have to put your nose to it. Shrimp are frozen at the source and defrosted carefully for retail. How many shrimp you buy depends on how they are to be used. About 2 pounds of uncooked
shrimp will yield slightly more than a pound cooked after shelling and deveining. The ‘vein’ is actually the intestinal tract found in the upper curve of the peeled shrimp. Not every shrimp contains waste matter but better to check each one and to get rid of it. I note that this is almost never explained by food professionals on television, in books or in a classroom. The vein is along the under curve of shrimp and the shrimp would be mutilated if you tried to truly “devein” it. PASTA WITH SHRIMP, GARLIC AND LEMON With all the ingredients in place this dish for two can be whipped up in short order!
Serves 2 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 8 large or extra-large shrimp, peeled and cleaned 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper Grated rind from 1 lemon Juice of 1 lemon, about 1/4 cup 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley 1/2 pound linguine or spaghetti 1/2 cup pasta water before draining the cooked (continued on next page)

pasta 1. Put the oil and butter in a 10 to 12-inch skillet over medium heat and when butter foam subsides add the shrimp. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside. 2. Saute the garlic in the remaining fat in the skillet for 30 to 40 seconds. Add the pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste, grated rind and lemon juice and toss to mix. Turn off the heat. 3. Meanwhile, bring 5 quarts water to a rolling boil and add a tablespoon or more kosher salt. Put in the pasta all at once, stirring to separate strands. Return immediately to the boil, then cook briskly, uncovered, about 9 to 10 minutes until tender but firm to the bite, al dente. 3. A couple of minutes before the pasta is ready, return the shrimp to the skillet with the garlic and lemon, spoon over juices and cook for a minute to a minute and a half over low heat. Ladle the pasta water into the skillet and drain the pasta. Transfer the pasta to the skillet and toss to mix so the sauce completely coats the pasta. Taste for seasoning and distribute evenly on two warm plates: serve hot. Note: If necessary, drizzle a bit extra olive oil over the pasta. SPEEDY SHRIMP SCAMPI Remember that shrimp cook in as little as three minutes: when they turn pink they’re done! Serve 4 to 6 4 tablespoon unsalted butter (continued on page 41)

The Boathouse Restaurant By Stacy Dermont The Boathouse Restaurant right on the shore at Three Mile Harbor Marina in East Hampton is under new management. Now partnering with the owner are Carl Shank and John Bates. They have big plans for this sizeable, popular restaurant. First things first, the Boathouse is back to its winter menu. The famous Raw Bar featuring local clams and oysters is intact. The Boathouse is now open seven days a week and will be open until January. An April re-opening will include a new head chef, the addition of a piano, a fleet of new S.U.V.s to drive-you-home-when-you-need-it, a house band on Friday nights and mucho community events. I think Shank and Bates make a good team. Shank has decades of experience in the restaurant business and he lives in East Hampton – Bates hales from Springs and is a nuclear energy expert. So they’ve covered all the bases. Shank and Bates have already reached out to area organizations. Schools, fire departments and Southampton Hospital have already taken them up on free two-hour cocktail parties. In fact, the hospital is in the process of booking three such events to accommodate all three shifts of employees. That’s nice. Shank told me that he and Bates are also sponsoring a local rugby team. Already a wedding has booked the facility for next September. The Boathouse is the ideal spot to enjoy drinks and lively music as you gaze out at the wide-open view of the setting sun, from inside or out. Big mirrors ensure that everyone gets to see nature’s light show. The more the merrier. Yes, there’s a Children’s Menu and a full bar. Next summer the lobster roll will be available at dinner, in addition to lunch. The
Nighttime view from the Boathouse
signature dish is to be a two-pound lobster served with potato, corn, mussels and shrimp. Shank told me, “We’re expecting big things.” Good bread served with hummus got our appetites going. I was tempted by the Perfect Storm Colossal Shrimp Cocktail but started with the Boathouse Clam Chowder. Technically speaking it was “yum” – a lot of salt pork flavor in a well-balanced cream chowder. Loads of clam, big bowl. Shank told me it’s David James’ recipe and James has been at the Boathouse for 16 years. My husband started with the Tuna Tartar. A generous portion served in a glass with bits of avocado and sesame oil. He deemed it “very good” and scooped it up with the accompanying slices of toasted baguette.
As Husband quaffed a house Pinot Grigio, we both enjoyed the Crab Cake. It was moist but solid and tastily accented with pimento. The Local Baked Stuffed Clams were tasty too. Nice, bready texture, not gooey. On a co-worker’s advice I ordered the Country Meatloaf. It’s more a hearty bun than a loaf. Topped with bacon and mushrooms it’s nicely presented on a bed of generously salted and peppered sautéed spinach. It’s meaty. The potatoes on the side were buttery and smooth. I quite enjoyed a glass of the house Sauvignon Blanc with my meal. Husband considered the Long Island Crispy Duck with sun-dried cherry sauce but he ordered the Penne Seafood – he loved the fresh, nicely cooked scallops, shrimp, mussels and clams. He didn’t have any room left for the pasta in cream sauce. At the Boathouse they don’t scrimp on the seafood – be it clam, crab, lobster or mussels. Husband happily drank his customary heated Remy Martin V.S.O.P. for dessert. I ordered the Florida Key Lime Pie. Shank told me that all Boathouse desserts are made in-house, even the cookies. He said, “It’s a lot of extra effort but it’s worth it.” So true. The key lime flavor was quite good, balanced. The pie’s filling was its natural color, on a fine Graham cracker crust. Other desserts include a Strawberry Shortcake, Molten Chocolate Cake and Pirate Pudding… The Sunday brunch buffet includes unlimited Mimosas or Bloody Marys!

1. In a skillet, melt butter and when butter foam subsides add shrimp and cook until just pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm serving platter and season with salt and pepper. 2. Add Lemon juice, garlic and parsley to the pan the shrimp cooked in. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Pour garlic sauce over the shrimp, toss to coat and serve with crusty bread to sop up juices. Note: When shelling shrimp don’t throw the shells away. Put them into a saucepan with a bit of carrot, celery or celery leaves, bay leaf, a sprig of parsley and a dash or two of paprika. Cover with fresh cold water and bring to a boil. Adjust heat and simmer briskly for about 20 minutes. Strain and refrigerate or freeze when you need a small amount of fish stock for a recipe.

& ART COMMENTARY by Marion W. Weiss
Amagansett Exhibits: Sylvester & Co. at Home and Pamela Williams Gallery
Among all the Hampton galleries, Amagansett can claim the most interesting in terms of venues. Even though there are not too many art spaces there, the village atmosphere and unique buildings make up for this lack. Consider Sylvester & Co., a furniture store that complements its offerings with art, and the Pamela Williams Gallery across the street, a more traditional exhibit space. In between, white houses line Main Street, each structure filled with clothes or other items for sale. Porches and subtle architectural detail draw people into the shops. At Sylvester & Co. at Home, the current show, “Group Therapy,” features many works that celebrate this same architectural detail. For example, there are Jane Martin’s pieces, “Force Majeure #1” and “Journey/Mountaintop,” where shape, space and structure are key elements. This critic is reminded of Martin’s film about Manhattan’s water towers, Silent Sentries, with its use of similar formal traits. Yet the
works have additional aesthetic elements, like movement, where the force field seems to both explode and implode simultaneously. There’s also a sense of timelessness in Martin’s pieces: do her images harken back to a prehistoric period or look forward to a postindustrial age? Whatever the interpretation associated with Martin’s art, the title “Force Majeure” (“Superior Force”) means an unexpected event, appropriate for the painting’s ambiguous nature. John Haubrich’s previous work has also had a connection to architecture and structures; his penchant for domiciles and their interior/ exterior design is well known. The present pieces, however, focus on texture and earth colors, evoking the ambience that exists in the warm tones of the surrounding furniture. Ann Raymond and Janet Goleas convey structure in a different way. Raymond’s bright abstractions play on horizontal design and juxtaposition of color. Goleas’ playful patterns often feature forms that resemble teardrops. Yet she alters these shapes with other dynamic yet subtle configurations, like crisscrossing lines and horizontal zigzags. Elizabeth Dow does interesting patterns as well, employing arresting vertical shapes in one piece. In her other works, diverse abstract images converge and separate continuously, changing directions at will. The current show at the Pamela Williams Gallery celebrates landscapes by Ralph Carpentier and Elwood Howell, both using a mystical palette and sensual imagery. Carpentier’s iconic landscapes offer a somewhat different view from what this critic expected: a style that is not always realistic but leaning toward Impressionism. The composition

and colors evoke the senses on all levels, from taste to sight to sound and beyond. Each image seems mystical, even though we have seen places like Barnes Hole a hundred times. Is this really where we live, we ask ourselves? Leave it to Carpentier to infuse his settings with a new perspective and beauty. Howell’s paintings are also landscapes, where a sliver of sea is far off into the distance. We find ourselves in the middle of a mystical field, the various senses taking hold as we walk to the ocean. If the sights and sounds blend together so that each is indistinguishable from the other, so be it. We are in Howell’s world, yet it becomes ours. “Group Therapy” will be on view at Amagansett’s Sylvester & Co. until March 28, 154 Main Street, 631-267-9777. Works by Carpentier and Howell at Pamela Williams Gallery will be on view until November13, 167 Main Street, 631-267-7817.

Yvonne Dagger Fans of Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Papers will most certainly recall Yvonne Daggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past covers, including figures, pets and local scenery. Most of her images tell a story, particularly one that features a mother and her dog watching a departing school bus. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a painting we can all relate to even if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have children and/ or a pet. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cover is not like her past works; it takes Dagger in a totally different direction. First, the piece is what she calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;my glass works,â&#x20AC;? a fusion of diverse material: sea glass and new glass. And it is abstract, not at all like her traditional realistic style. While Dagger has always adored painting, she has turned to this new endeavor, which allows her to â&#x20AC;&#x153;zone outâ&#x20AC;? and enter an altered state of consciousness. However, she is reminded that she experiences this when she creates other kinds of art as well. Q: How did you come to creating art out of glass? A: Glass has always intrigued me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on my Bucket List. My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really want glass classes.â&#x20AC;? She responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you want, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get.â&#x20AC;? I spent six or seven hours at a time in class. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in my creative zone, I get immersed. Q: You must also spend hours collecting glass on the beach. A: My husband spends hours on the beach scouring the sand for glass. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a runner and surfer so he can do this. He calls the sea â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stockroom.â&#x20AC;? He knows each piece of glass like it is his child. Q: So you collaborate with your husband? A: He picks the glass and I create the art, drawing sketches and coming up with ideas. I do the creative work and he does the groundwork, literally. He gets quite excited about what he finds. Q: How would you describe your pieces? A: The glass works are one of a kind. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just the way they are. Many are conceptual. One piece has the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Refills,â&#x20AC;? on the bottom. Most are five-by-five-inches square, and I house them in a 10-inches by 10-inches shadow box. Q: How did you describe your process when you first started doing this? A: I likened myself to Picasso and Braque when they were creating new types of art. They were mountain climbers, exploring new frontiers. Q: Art is one part of your life. What about the other part? A: I am very active with the Long Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canine Companions for Independence. In fact, I was just accepted on the Board of the Northeast Region. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an organization that provides help to wounded veterans. When I first got involved in this, I thought it was about the dogs we train. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about the people I meet and work with. We raise â&#x20AC;&#x153;one miracle at a time.â&#x20AC;? Q: I ask you this every time I interview you for a cover. What does success mean to you? A: I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when people purchase my work, and they feel the same peace and tranquility that I do when I was creating it. Â Yvonne Daggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work can be seen at Westhamptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fitzgerald Gallery (631-288-6419) and Greenportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terrence Joyce Gallery (631-477-0700).

Dan’s Papers November 4, 2011 danshamptons.com Page 46
LETTERS WHO’S IN LOVE WITH LINDA? Dear Dan, Thank you for the Election Coverage for the Southampton Town Supervisor’s Race. I appreciated the opportunity to explain why I am running as a WRITE-IN candidate against the current Supervisor Anna Throne Holst. I am providing voters with a CHOICE. Send a message from the people that Southampton Town needs strong, independent leadership and open, honest government. In her interview with Dan’s Papers, Anna ThroneHolst has attempted to besmirch my candidacy by saying: “Her very last minute entry into the fray, without following due process like the rest of us, and not doing what it takes to get on the ballot - despite ample opportunity to do so - and running without the support of her or any other party’s support, only raises questions around her true motives.” My motivations are rooted in delivering good government for the people of Southampton Town. I am passionate about my community. People know that I am honest, hard-working and that I truly care about people from all walks of life. Anna’s divisive remarks are yet another example of the manipulative, dishonest games she likes to play. The truth is that Republican Party Leaders did ask me to screen for Town Supervisor or County Legislator earlier in 2011 and I declined interest so as to clear the field for others to emerge, since I just filed a Notice of Claim against the Village of Westhampton Beach for damages incurred to my reputation and career potential as a public official for incidents that transpired during the weeks preceding the 2009 Election. No one stepped up to offer his or her candidacy for Supervisor. Many people in Southampton Town are disappointed that the Republican and Conservative parties failed to designate a challenger against Anna Throne-Holst through the door-todoor petitioning process required to be completed in time to have “an official candidate” listed on the ballot. It’s not an election without a challenger. With the support of many commu-
nitymembers on a grass-roots level and from across the political spectrum, I am offering my strength of character, courage and credentials to the voters as a WRITE-IN Candidate for Supervisor. Contrary to Anna’s adverse commentary, there is nothing improper about this. Election Law provides for WRITE-IN candidates and the ballots include clear instructions stating the following: “To vote for a person whose name is not printed on this ballot, write or stamp his or her name in the space that appears at the bottom of the column containing the title of the office.” Anna would prefer to have a free ride to another 2-year term as Supervisor. Her sour remarks smack of resentment for having to contend with a challenger who has demonstrated a strong grasp of important policy issues and has a proven track record in effectively serving the taxpayers. VOTERS: SEND A MESSAGE that it’s NOT about political party labels. The only endorsement I need is the people’s endorsement on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8. WRITE-IN LINDA KABOT at the bottom of Column #15 for Southampton Town Supervisor on your General Election ballot. Linda Kabot Quogue A good person. – DR I REALLY HAVE TO KNOW! Dear Dan, I just have a question for you. I have been getting Dan’s Papers, and for the last three or four times I have gone to the police blotter and read about Old Man McGumbus. My family and I are so entertained by him and his antics but after reading the October 21, issue I just have to ask...is this for real? I have to know.
Police Blotter Caught By A Duck A man in East Hampton was sitting in his vehicle while a police car passed by. When he saw the squad car, be became so nervous that he ducked down to try to hide his face from the windshield. Police noticed that the man was ducking, so they initiated a traffic stop and low and behold, the man was high like Cheech and Chong on marijuana. Police found marijuana in the man’s jacket and deemed him to be under the influence. Egging Several homes throughout the Hamptons were egged Halloween night. In other news, the sky is blue. Shelter Island The Shelter Island Department of Public Sound, also known as SIPS, went door-to-door last week in search of noises that break the organization’s policy. The organization, lead by Old Man McGumbus, 107 and former World War II radio operator, determined that in October alone there were over four noises on Shelter Island that didn’t include the sound of the wind. This is a 200% increase in comparison to last year, something that McGumbus has determined
as “Unacceptable,” in a press release. “We cannot tolerate this type of increase in noise and must battle the hippie menace on Shelter Island to maintain our culture.” SIPS reported that on October 16 at 12:02 p.m., a cellphone went off on Main Street and the following week at 1:38 p.m., a radio was heard playing a station other than WLNG or NPR, clear violations of SIPS policies. “This is unacceptable,” McGumbus said. “If we are going to maintain our culture and way of life, we will nip this in the bud.” McGumbus will be bringing up the issue at the next Town Board meeting where he is going to lobby for arresting powers to be granted to SIPS and for the purchase of two additional sound monitoring vehicles. Stolen Purse A woman in Amagansett reported that her $500 purse, which contained $400 dollars in cash, had been stolen. The Sleeper A man was found sleeping inside of a home in Southampton that was not his and that he did not have permission to sleep in. He was discovered after the owner saw him on his cellphone in London, via a video camera installed on his phone. What a world we live in today.
Send your letters to askdan@danspapers.com (e-mails only, please) Thanks. Traci Eastport I’ll ask him. – DR FISHY? Dear Dan, Hi Dan, in regard to you article about Little Fresh Pond it was clear to me that you never took into consideration those of us who live around the pond. This little community of working class people doing their best to hold on to our properties know that having a camp site on the pond would surely devalue our homes. It hit me that you never lived on a little pond to understand how loud sounds get near water. As noise ricochets from this intended campsite with as many as 400 excited children there will be no more quietude. Also the pond is only 24 acres big, truly not a big pond to escape the sounds made by a campsite, not to mention the traffic that will also have a bearing on this area. I think you have not really considered all the facts but are insensitive to the little fish in and around this little pond and more in tune with the big fish swimming in the large pond. Sincerely, Rosemary Peck Southampton My views come without pressure from fish, big or little. – DR SILVER BULLET Dear Dan, I read with interest the comments of Elise D’Haene regarding the documentary Living for 32. While I have not seen the documentary, her review cites something from the film that is not true. Apparently the film claims that someone can purchase a firearm from a dealer without even giving his or her name. All federally licensed dealers must put purchasers through the F.B.I. instant check before selling a firearm and the person must identify himself or herself with proper identification. If the film states otherwise, it is putting forth a gross mistruth. James G. Collins LI Director New York State Rifle and Pistol Association Floral Park Understood. - DR
