Musings With April Gornik
Around the globe, April Gornik is known as one of the world’s most celebrated landscape painters, whose name is often sprinkled into conversations, and on museum walls, with the likes of Hockney, Turner, and Monet. But around Sag Harbor, she’s also known as Wonder Woman.

IN SP W EC HO TI LE ON H –C O AL USE LT OD AY
Okay, maybe not exactly. But North Haven resident Gornik is involved in a myriad of causes to protect the environmental and cultural aspects of the area she and her husband,
artist Eric Fischl, have chosen to call home. She cofounded the Sag Harbor Partnership, which currently is the platform to raise funds for the renovation of the Sag Harbor Cinema, she and Fischl have preserved acres of wetlands, she sits on the board of the newlyformed Southampton Arts and Culture Committee, the Eastville Historical Society, and there is much more. She even came up with a way to fish for sharks without hurting them. For real. Gornik has been lauded for her
work and her activism in the past, including as the recipient of Guild Hall’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003, and this weekend will be honored, along with Minerva Perez, the executive director of OLA, and Paule Pachter, CEO of Long Island Cares, at “Caliente,” a benefit to raise funds for both organizations. But back to Sag Harbor. Gornik is passionate about the history of the area – and not just the environmental and artistic history. “This was a place of industry,”
she said. “Sag Harbor has this amazing economic history. One of the walking tours I did for the Sag Harbor Partnership is ‘Working Sag Harbor.’ Sag Harbor had fishing, then whaling and boatbuilding. Then there was the gold rush and the oil boom, and Sag Harbor rose up with the Alvin silver company, and the watchcase factory, and the metalsmithing. I mean, it was really a place of enterprise,” she said. Activism, she said, comes along

Richard Kind To Host Caliente
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Actor Richard Kind is well known for his roles in sitcoms “Mad About You” and “Spin City.” He’s been on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Scrubs” and starred in Tom Stoppard’s comedic production of Travesties at Bay Street. Coming up, Kind has a role in the show “Red Oaks,” directed by David Gordon Green, coming out on Amazon Prime.
On Saturday Kind will emcee the “Caliente” event, a benefit for Long Island Cares – The Harry Chapin Food Bank and OLA of Eastern Long Island. It will feature a performance by Tito Puente, Jr. and his eight-piece band. Honorary chair is Academy and Tony Award winner Mercedes Ruehl. The event will honor April Gornik, Minerva Perez, and Paule Pachter. Kind tells Indy about his
involvement in the upcoming event and what he looks forward to this summer. Tell us how you became involved with the Caliente event? I know Minerva, who is involved with OLA. When they needed a host, she gave me a call. I know the good work she does and so I said yes. Then when I learned the other organization, Long Island Cares was involved, I said absolutely. What are you looking forward to most at the event? This is a good and joyous occasion to support these two organizations. There will be a great sense of community at this event. And with music by Tito Puente Jr. it will be a very festive evening.

What are you looking forward to most this summer? I am working on a TV series that is on Amazon Prime called “Red Oaks.” It’s a great show with Paul Reiser, Jennifer Grey, and [executive producer] Steven Soderbergh. Everyone should check it out! What are some of your favorite places in The Hamptons? I am fortunate enough to be able to play golf at The Bridge. It is a glorious place.
Also, I’m on the board of Bay Street
Theater. I adore that place and their mission to bring wonderful theater to the community. On occasion, I’m lucky to participate.
Long Island Cares is the regional food bank for Long Island. It brings together all available resources for the area’s hungry and food insecure. OLA promotes social, cultural, economic, and educational development within the East End’s Latino and Hispanic communities. Caliente will be held from 7 to 10 PM at the home of Maria and Kenneth Fishel and family in Bridgehampton. For tickets visit www.licares.org.

Jeffrey “The Houseman” Clemens discovered G. Love performing in a Boston pub. The two started playing together and brought in upright bassist James “Jimi Jazz” Prescott. Their self-titled debut, featuring the hit “Cold Beverage,” wound up going gold.
His latest album with band Special Sauce, Love Saves The Day, completes the trilogy that G. Love starting with Fixin’ To Die in 2011. The album stripped his music down to its roots, while Sugar, in G. Love’s words, “reconnected the blues of the electric side” and reunited the original trio. Love Saves The Day dives deeper, making the grooves heavier and the performances more authentic. It was recorded live with few edits to capture the immediacy of the music.
G. Love Comes To Town
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
“When you get that spark, you got to ride that energy,” said G.
Love. The frontman of G. Love & Special Sauce is bringing his down and dirty “trashcan blues” sound to

the East End this weekend with a performance at The Stephen Talkhouse on Saturday, and The Surf Lodge on Sunday. He is hitting the road on his solo acoustic Streetside Blues tour, making stops in many beachside towns along the East Coast. G. Love proudly describes himself as a road dog that “will be touring until I fall off the Earth.”
It’s been 20 years since G. Love & Special Sauce was born. Drummer
“The music,” G. Love enthused, “jumped off the tape.” He calls the album “the fullest realization of the hip-hop blues” that he first pioneered with Special Sauce in the early ’90s. “It’s a good time to be doing what we are doing,” he said, noting Gary Clark Jr., Jack White, Robert Randolph, and Galactic as some fellow keepers of the blues flame who “maintain the roots but push forward music.” For more information on the performances visit www. stephentalkhouse.com and www. thesurflodge.com.

UnHampton At The Beach Hut
By Kitty Merrill
Considering the crowds that come out every Wednesday, Latin music night at Meschutt Beach Hut is hardly the best-kept secret in The Hamptons. But it’s definitely one of the most diverse, most reasonable, most fun, and most UnHampton of area venues. There’s not one snooty hedgefunder to be found. Like its sister venue at Cupsogue Beach in Westhampton, Meschutt’s the place where local people of all ages head for excellent music, dynamite dancing, reasonable food and drinks, and, if they’re lucky, stupendous sunsets. On Latin music night last week, la Elegancia de la Salsa had revelers of all ages and abilities dancing on the sand, in the aisles, in the
parking lot. Teenagers salsa-ed alongside senior citizens alongside parents with children. Beach Hut is absolutely a family-friendly locale. The music usually starts at 6, and if you want a table, get there early. La Elegancia de la Salsa and the audience fave Mambo Loco trade off Wednesday nights. But that’s not all.
There’s music at the Beach Huts every night during the summer. They’ve got a handy calendar on their website.
You’ll find Indy at Meschutt on Wednesdays and Cupsogue on Thursday nights when That ‘70s Band comes to town beginning this week.
Other awesome acts at Meschutt this week include New Life Crisis tomorrow night, Winston Irie Saturday night, Souled Out on Sunday, and the Mandolin Experience next Tuesday. On many weekends, the music can start at noon, so be sure to check the calendar online.
Condo? Co-Op? Rental? To you it’s simply “Home.”
In addition to hosting one of Long Island’s best cover groups, That ‘70s Band, each Thursday night this month, the Beach Hut at Cupsogue boasts a full slate of musical acts

The Symbol Of America
By Rick Murphy
Move over, fictional symbologists Robert Langdon and Jeremy Logan. Flag historian Henry W. Moeller, a longtime Hampton Bays resident, devoted four decades to producing an in-depth and revealing look at our American flag, The Thirteen-Star American Flag: Origin of a Symbol. Over 500 books have been written about our nation’s flag, but almost without exception these books deal with the flag’s designer, the patriotism it represents, and the proper way to display it. In By Rick Murphy
Andrea D’Aquino, a longtime summer resident of Meeting House Lane in Amagansett, has crafted the perfect summer read, and it’s also a hands-on project. D’Aquino, a go-to art director, graphic designer, and illustrator in Manhattan, has been published internationally, and her art has been the subject of several gallery exhibitions.
Once Upon A Piece of Paper is described by the author as “part creative philosophy, part how-to book on my personal process for collage.” The work includes a 112page paperback plus a pad of 100
unique collage papers on two-sided sheets, all inside of a beautiful hardcover case with an elastic band. The goal is for the reader to find out “how layers of simple paper can create mysterious and beautiful worlds within worlds through the art of collage.”

contrast, Moeller’s book focuses on the sources and meanings of the American flag symbols. It is an almost untold story. And it takes the reader from ancient Greece and Rome to the birth of the Republic, and from the Old to the New World, and to the esoteric mysteries of astronomy, heraldry, and religion.
By Rick Murphy
Set in Nashville and The Hamptons, Love Hard, the latest novel by author Barbara Justice, takes the reader on a steamy, sexy trip on tour busses and private jets, testing the limits of love, obsession, and jealousy.
“Love Hard was inspired by today’s contemporary country music,” said Justice, who splits her time between her homes in The Hamptons and New York City. She created a companion Spotify playlist available through the author’s website, www. barbarajusticebooks.com.
“Many of the songs on the playlist inspired actual scenes in Love Hard. But – spoiler alert – if you play the songs in order, the playlist reveals the story,” she added. As she did in her 2015 debut novel Anything But Mine, the author highlights the importance of maintaining and preserving open space and farmland on the East End of Long Island in her latest novel. Love Hard is available exclusively through Amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle format.

Black, who died in 2015, drew inspiration from nature, specifically the trees and bay area in East Hampton where she lived for many years. Essential revelation of nature informs the works; tree forms are simplified and reformed through a combination of drawing and gestural brushwork using oil paint, gouache, and crayon. Trees often seem as sentinels who guard the foliage, water, and pathways in the natural setting. In the simplified strokes and pursuit of light, the works exude a meditative quality. A later series of abstractions reveal similar characteristics of light and form.

Dining John Papas Turns 25
By Bridget LeRoy
If you’re searching for a steak with a red wine reduction in East Hampton, you probably don’t have to look very far. But if you’re in the mood for a tuna melt and some Jell-O with whipped cream, there’s only one place to go – John Papas Café, which celebrated its 25th
Independent/Morgan McGivern
anniversary in June.
“Through our doors pass the finest people in the world – our customers, our friends,” the front of the menu reads, and John Papas, who took over the site of the former Seafood Corner in 1992, means it.

“It’s the local people who have kept us open this long,” Papas acknowledged. “It used to be that after Labor Day, only a couple of cars would be on Main Street in an hour. So if it weren’t for the people who lived here year-round, we would have closed after the first summer.”
Serving up breakfast all day, along with lunch and dinner, the restaurant with a Mediterranean twist sits on a busy corner of the Reutershan parking lot behind East Hampton’s tony Main Street. It’s not only popular with the locals – celebrities and captains of industry also strap on the John Papas feedbag with pride. Back in 1992, there weren’t a lot of international eating choices in The Hamptons. “When I first opened, I could buy a couple of bags of pita from the local supermarket and it would last me a few weeks,” Papas said with a laugh. “Now I go through cases a day.”

The number-one selling item for the last 25 years has been and still is the Greek salad with grilled chicken. And for Papas – who had previously owned Estia in Amagansett – the consistency of the menu is key. “I like to offer my customers lots of choices, but also the comfort foods of their
childhood,” he said. The menu features everything from Eggs Benedict to burgers, souvlaki to smoked salmon, dolmades to waffles. “Everyone is welcome here.” Papas’s own childhood in Greece was about as far from The Hamptons as one could get. “We had no electricity,” he said. “Our town was made up from seven other towns that had been destroyed.” While waiting for his grandfather’s house to be built, Papas and his family slept in the stables with the horses. “When I tell this story to my own kids, they say, ‘Dad, are you from planet Earth?’”
Papas didn’t plan to go into the restaurant business. He was trained as a graphic designer “before computers,” he said. He is still an artist – it is his work that adorns the walls of the café.
And after 25 years, Papas feels a twinge of pride, and humility, in what he’s provided to the town he calls home. “It’s familiar. And affordable. Everyone can come in and order what they like. And everybody likes something from the menu – for kids, and senior citizens, vegetarians, there’s something for everyone.” There’s even a steak with a red wine reduction.

ABOUT: From an early age, Dominic spent summers catching fish and picking fruit off local trees in his native Florida. Dominic attended Le Cordon Bleu in Orlando. After honing his skills at Gary Danko in San Francisco, he moved to Luma on Park where he quickly moved through the ranks to become sous chef. After working at Jean-Georges in New York City, he moved to Resto to learn more about the nose-to-tail movement and charcuterie production as the sous chef. Dominic then spent three years as the chef de cuisine at Tipsy Parson in Chelsea before assisting John Fraiser in opening Narcissa at the Standard East hotel. Dominic then opened Slate in Florida with the James Beardnominated Cocentrics restaurant group, before joining the Amali team where he oversees culinary operations for Amali, Amali Mou, Calissa, Sopra, and The Bar Room.

Note - The Greek trick to great lobster pasta is to boil the pasta in the same water in which you boil the lobsters, so every bite tastes like lobster.

Food & Beverage
by Jessica Mackin-Cipro Harbor Grill Closes Harbor Grill, the hidden gem adored by locals in East Hampton, sadly served its final meal on Sunday, June 18. Executive chef and co-owner Damien O’Donnell attributes the closing to constantly rising food costs. “We can no longer continue to operate a concept that was created with the intention to keep fair and reasonable prices for our clientele. We opened Harbor Grill to provide the local community with an option to go out to dinner with the entire family, not pay an arm and a leg, and still get a quality meal,”
said O’Donnell. “The increased costs of food and beverage have made it extremely difficult to run a profitable year-round restaurant. We’d like to thank all of our loyal guests and employees who have supported us throughout the almost seven-year journey.” Harbor Grill fans are encouraged to visit its sister restaurant, Harbor Bistro. The waterfront mainstay is boasting a new nautical and modern, yet casual, dining room this season. O’Donnell’s standouts on the menu include crispy kataifilobster bundle with citrus slaw, spiced sesame aioli and Thai chili
glaze; Tograshi shrimp linguini with pancetta, shiitake, asparagus, and lemon-soy emulsion; and pistachio-crusted swordfish with a crisp risotto cake, asparagus, and Tahitian vanilla-lobster sauce. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling the restaurant directly at 631-3247300. Kozu Japanese fusion restaurant Kozu in Southampton, led by Zach Erdem — restauranteur and owner of 75 Main Group (AM Southampton, Hotel ZE & KOZU) -- offers incredible Japanese cuisine with stunning Peruvian influences. A selection of Kozu’s delicious dishes includes the tiger shrimp cocktail with cocktail sauce and lemon, the yellowfin tuna tartar with soy, ginger, and sesame seeds, and the Kozu roll with unagi and avocado, topped with foie gras and caviar for starters. Among the entrees, seafood specials include crusted tuna with soy, wasabi, and seaweed salad, and Chilean sea

The new series, which will begin at 4 PM every Saturday in July and August, is inspired by Après Ski – the term used to describe the fun social scene that take place after a long day of skiing in the winter.
Calissa’s version of the wintertime tradition will offer Hamptonites all of the elements for a great summer night celebration – whether they are sipping rosé from a magnum bottle, playing a game of bocce ball, or watching Calissa’s executive chef Dominic Rice grill a whole suckling pig over an open flame, all while enjoying the sounds of a live DJ. Reservations for Après Beach ($250) include reserved couch seating in the garden for four people, individual servings of roasted suckling pig, plus side dishes, and large format rosé for the table.

Unconditional Love
The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation enters into its eighth year of the annual Unconditional Love Gala. The anticipated event will be held this Saturday at the residence of Chuck and Ellen Ward Scarborough in Southampton beginning at 6:30 PM. “It’s critical to who we are and what we do,” Southampton Animal Shelter’s adoptions coordinator, Kate McEntee, explained. With Chuck Scarborough as master of ceremonies, the event will honor Jean Shafiroff and Sony Schotland.
“[Sony] is the co-founder of the shelter. She’s basically the woman who started it all, Southampton Animal Shelter and ARF. She basically had major contributions in getting these big organizations running. We thank her for all her support throughout the years,” McEntee said. “[ Jean] has been a chair of Unconditional Love for the past few years. So we’re honoring her this year for everything she does for us.” In addition to honoring extraordinary women, Katie Jacobs of Christie’s will be the new auctioneer this year. Trips to the Victoria Hotel in Paris and Deer Valley in Utah, luxury accessories, Jimmy Fallon tickets, and more are all exciting options for bidding. For those intrigued, debuting this year is an online platform for the live auction where everything is available through a mobile device.
After the roaring success of Catwalk for Canines, where each animal featured found itself a “furever home,” this year the shelter hopes money raised will assist in their “patient pets,” those who have remained at the shelter for over 90 days, some even for years. “We take everything that comes to our door. Age and health don’t matter,” McEntee emphasized. “Supporting them is what it’s all about. It’s the reason we can help animals with special needs, who need to go through training.”
Unconditional Love is more than
a gala, it’s the mentality of the foundation. Through its tireless efforts and tremendous heart, with the help of countless supporters, Southampton Animal Shelter gives second chances to the four-legged community.

Reporting From Broadway by Isa Goldberg Martyna Majok’s new play, Cost of Living, at The Manhattan Theater Club’s City Center Stage, explores visibly uncomfortable territory. A play about disabilities, cast with people who have disabilities, Living stands out among a few like-minded productions, prominent in recent years.
of their lives, her play makes life’s painful rigors transparent. Fortunately, she also imbues the theatrical experience with a sharply-honed comic sensibility.
Among them, Sam Gold’s revival of Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie last season featured Madison Ferris, a woman with muscular dystrophy, in the role of Laura. And the prior season’s revival of Spring Awakening, by the Deaf West Theatre, was incredibly innovative, with a cast of deaf actors playing roles that are sung by hearing actors.
Here we meet John (Gregg Mozgala), a doctoral candidate in political science at Princeton, interviewing a woman to work as his aide. “Can you do this job?” the wealthy, demanding, privileged man in the motorized wheelchair asks Jess, the beautiful Jolly Abraham, again and again. As portrayed by Mozgala, not a muscle in John’s body seems to behave at his command, but his controlling nature clearly exceeds our expectations of a man with severe physical limitations. Mozgala’s John is entirely off-putting.
In exploring the vulnerable, underrepresented, and ostracized, these playwrights work in the tradition of creating theater that addresses social issues of critical significance. Bringing physical disabilities to the fore causes audiences to experience the raw humanity of these characters, and it makes it hard for us to ignore suffering. Jarring as it is to watch the characters in Majok’s new work struggle with the daily mundanity
Jolly Abraham is captivating in her
Off Broadway, Samuel D. Hunter’s Good Beer and Neil LaBute’s Call Back, both from 2013, also demonstrate the heroic nature of characters who live beyond the limitations of their physical selves.
Still, his concern about her ability seems a little weird. What can a man in a wheelchair really need, beyond the basics – showering, dressing? But this is where human emotion takes a wacky twist, and the question of what he really needs brings into focus what Jess also needs. Love, human connection, respect - these are all up for grabs in a world where the “cost of living” is out of control. There seems to be, in contemporary society, a contempt for the poor, equaled only by our contempt for those who are medically difficult to treat. As we learn here, these issues are not necessarily the same.

role, striving as she does to succeed, to embrace, to improve her life. She is the character with whom we most empathize, not only because we identify with the rejection she faces, but also because it feels so unexpected. How she winds up in desperate poverty is no reflection of her intellect, nor her efforts. When she meets Eddie, a truck driver, who has been caring for his wife Ani (Katy Sullivan), a recent amputee from whom he had been separated, it brings a comic turn
to a play that delves into such visually uncomfortable material. In a scene that remains seared in my memory, Eddie, portrayed by Victor Williams as a sweet and compassionate man, is giving Ani a bath. Walking off for just a moment, he returns to realize that without something to hold her up, she’s sunk, drowning in a bathtub of water. Best not to spoil the outcome here, but it is a tender, humanizing one, beautifully directed by Jo Bonney.
