Sag Harbor Author Revisits A Painful Past

By Rick Murphy When Lorraine Dusky published her seminal memoir Birthright in 1979 it was the first time a mother frankly addressed her decision to give her baby up for adoption.

The heartache captured in her first book was only part of Dusky’s story.

Hole In My Heart picks up where Birthmark left off: the 26-year reunion and relationship with her daughter.

Moreover, it’s about the author’s continuing fight to end the secrecy of adoption, and her commitment to change the way Americans think about adoption.

There were years of enjoying the reunion that were blissful at the beginning, but ultimately a devastating journey the author felt compelled to share. The heartache captured in her first book would haunt her again.

Hole In My Heart, published

by Leto Media and available on Amazon, is a heart-wrenching tale that is an essential read for anyone who has been touched by adoption.

Dusky was a young reporter in Rochester when she fell in love with a political columnist at the next desk.

“I was a Catholic . . . this was 1965, there weren’t any flower children around then.” She made the decision to take birth control pills. Unbeknownst to her, she was already pregnant.

“I was freaking out. I didn’t even tell my parents.”

Dusky gave the baby up in what was known as a “closed adoption”—all parties agreed they wouldn’t attempt to contact each other until the child was 18.

As the years passed Dusky became tormented by her decision, and wrote frankly about her experience in several major publications. She paid a private detective to locate her daughter and called the stepparents, who were extremely supportive of allowing Dusky back into her daughter’s life.

“They had tried to find me . . . they told me she had epilepsy, which was probably caused by the birth control pills.”

The reunion was everything she hoped for and more. “She looked like me, she had the same characteristics as me. It felt like I was getting out of freedom,” Dusky

related.

Her name was Jane. She started spending summers with Dusky and her husband, Anthony Brandt, and even took some college classes nearby. But the seeds of resentment were growing, at first imperceptibly but then faster.

There are feelings of abandonment that aren’t acknowledged. Jane married and had a daughter – Dusky is still very close to her granddaughter.

Jane’s marriage failed, and in 1986 she had another child – and gave it up for adoption.

Dusky learned later a child who has experienced adoption is seven times more likely to give her child up for adoption.

Jane, in addition to having epilepsy, also suffered from extremely painful bouts of PMS – as her mother did. The combination of her circumstances became too much to bear.

Hard copies of Hole In My Heart are not yet available, but an author’s electronic proof is available to reviewers and writers immediately.

Kindle copies will be available soon.

Lorraine Dusky is an awardwinning journalist, editor and author.

Her books include The Best Companies For Women and Still Unequal: The Shameful Truth About Women And Justice In America.

Her magazine work has won two Exceptional Merit Media Awards (EMMAS) from the National Women’s Political Caucus for political pieces in Self and McCall’s. She was a finalist

The author with her daughter Jane in Sag Harbor.

for a National Magazine Award for a piece in Town & Country. She has been a senior editor at Working Woman, McCall’s and Town & Country, and a contributing editor of Yoga Plus Joyful Living.

She and her husband, Anthony Brandt, together wrote “He Said, She Said,” a humor column, on the trials of being an egalitarian twocareer couple, for Glamour in the early nineties. Dusky is a graduate of Wayne State University For more information, contact her at 631-725-4174 or Lordusky@ gmail.com

Broadway and a bouncy gate, Parsons’s Lord addresses everything from the creation of the universe to its oft-reported demise. He also suffers from an all too human ego, admittedly creating disasters to prove his own supremacy.

challenges the couple’s one night of intimacy, calling on her big round eyes to reflect and deflect her feelings toward the other. As is her wont, she remains opaque.

Thomas Sadoski, on the other hand, brings an openly empathic, edgy quality to his role as Doug. Sadoski, no stranger to LaBute’s work, moves far beyond the insecure, albeit moral, young man he portrayed in Reasons to Be Pretty. Here, he’s a man of depth, compassion, and most important, a man who is capable of loving a woman. Sadoski’s instinctual acting, his daring and physical buoyancy will keep you glued to the stage.

Not Neil LaBute As a playwright notorious for his antagonistic portrayal of women, LaBute’s new work is a surprising exploration of a romantic tête-à-tête. In The Way We Get By, artfully directed

by Leigh Silverman at Second Stage Theater, Doug and Beth awake from a one-nighter only to dance awkwardly around each other, sizing up their situation.

From the outset the story appears all too obvious, until LaBute unravels their personal histories, revealing the debasing social mores that have brought them to their mutual involvement. A master of teasing plots, LaBute’s romantic comedy reveals two characters who discover love because they are able to come to terms with their mutual abandonment.

As Beth, Amanda Seyfried nimbly

The Death Of Beauty Nothing less than the existential meaning of art is at the heart of Rajiv Joseph’s Guards at the Taj. But the play, currently at The Atlantic Theater, is equally about fathers and sons, fundamentalism, justice, brotherly love, and acts of sedition.

Author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, Joseph created a new work that centers around two young soldiers guarding the construction of the Taj Mahal in 1648. When architect Ustad Isa decrees that all 20,000 of the workers employed in building the mausoleum will have their hands cut off, the two are deployed to the task of butchering 40,000 hands in one night.

Director Amy Morton plumbs the depth of this brutality, provoking even humor in the darkest moments. But

Reporting From

By Isa Goldberg

From the stage at Studio 54, The Almighty (Jim Parsons) is delivering an updated Ten Commandments. Literally, the new Commandments are just part of the launch of Universe 2.0, which the Lord developed with Steve Jobs in an effort to create a better “interfaith,” and one which you can access on your iPhone.

An Act of God, written by David Javerbaum, offers the divine comedy for Parson’s comedic warmth and exuberance. As King of the Universe, the actor is neither seamless, nor in spite of his many claims, especially detached. To the contrary, the God who addresses us is a neighborly sort of guy, hanging out in red sneakers and a plaid shirt all covered with the omniscient’s white robe. He tries his best not to be over- lordly, and while his sidekicks, guardian angels Michael (Christopher Fitzgerald) and Gabriel (Tim Kazurinsky), help to keep him in tow, he still succumbs to “godsip” if only to avoid uncomfortable confrontations.

the genius of the production is the intimate connection between these two young men, one the son of the army’s Commander in Chief, (Omar Metwally); the other his simple sensitive friend from childhood (Arian Moayed).

It’s an incredibly challenging tale that lives on a multitude of levels.

Moayed (who also co-starred in Bengal Tiger on Broadway) gives a standout performance as a young man who envisions the destruction of a great work of art.

Together, these three productions herald a new season with new forms and new perspectives on the godly and the unjust.

Reel Deal

By Miles X. Logan

New On DVD Cake (R) Much has been made of the Jennifer Oscar snub, and Aniston does do a good job playing this gritty, maudlin member of a support group who becomes fascinated by a recent suicide. Yes, she shows her nonglamorous side, but a Meryl Streep she ain’t, and the film has no real point to it.

Blow’s leave-in conditioner is perfect for evenings out on the town after sunny beach days. “Our leave in conditioner is a must-have for beach babes as it protects your hair from sun damage,” said Lila Beudert, owner and founder of Blow. “The dry shampoo is perfect for keeping your blowout fresh. One of our favorite products is the hair spray — it has a spin nozzle that can change from light, medium or strong hold, which eliminates having to use multiple sprays for different styles. The purple shampoo is great for blondes and grays, and the Argan oil conditioner seals in and moisturizes color,” said Beudert.

To celebrate the exciting launch of the new product line, Blow is having a social media contest.

Simply follow Blow on Instagram at @blowbeautybars, upload your post-blowout, cut, or color photo in the salon or out and about in the Hamptons, and tag #blowbeautybars @blowbeautybars to be entered to win 20 percent off your next blowout. Every Sunday, Blow will regram the winner’s photo.

Happy Instagramming!

New To Theaters Dope (R) A young black man living in L.A. tries to pursue his goal of going to college when a chance invitation to an underground party exposes him to new friends -- and new walls. Shameik Moore kills it as the young man in question. It ruled at Sundance.

Jurassic World (PG-13) The latest edition of the franchise marks the return of Steven Spielberg as executive producer and the old guy still knows how to get the attention of audiences.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard get the plum roles. It’s action packed, of course, but it’s a reboot, and no amount of rewrites can save the soggy premise.

Jack Dempsey, 1895 Back in the day the World Heavyweight Champ was as famous as any celebrity or politician, and they didn’t come any tougher than Jack Dempsey, “The Manassa Mauler.”

Dempsey ruled for seven years, from 1919 to 1926, and repeatedly set box office and attendance records, including the first fight ever to sell $1 million worth of tickets.

Born in Manassa, Colorado, Dempsey came from a poor family; he grew up in West Virginia and later moved to Utah when his parents converted to Mormonism.

Starving and uneducated, Dempsey soon learned he possessed a valuable tool: a thundering right hand cross. He would visit bars and saloons bellowing, “I can’t sing and I can’t dance, but I can lick any SOB in the house.” And he did.

Dempsey turned to professional fighting, launching two careers, one under his own name and another under the pseudonym “Kid Blackie.”

In 1918 Dempsey fought a staggering total of 17 matches, losing only one. He beat the number one ranked heavyweight, Fireman Jim Flynn, with a second round knockout.

In 1919, in one of the most famous fights in history, Dempsey, six-foot-one and 187 pounds, took on the heavyweight champion Jess Willard, the “Pottawattamie Giant” who stood six-six and weighed 245 pounds.

Ultimately, Willard was knocked down seven times by Dempsey in the first round and reportedly suffered serious injuries including a broken jaw, broken ribs, and broken teeth.

In 1926 the champion took on a rugged ex-Marine, Gene Tunney, who won a 10-round decision.

More than 120,000 attended the fight, a record.

A year later the pair fought again, and once again Tunney, who was paid a record $1 million, won a close decision.

After he retired the pair became friends, and Dempsey campaigned vigorously for Tunney’s son, John V. Tunney, when he ran for the U.S. Senate and won.

As legend has it Dempsey was walking home in Manhattan one night when he was in his seventies.

Two muggers grabbed him from either side. Within moments Dempsey continued his leisurely walk – two bodies were left still on the pavement, both knocked out from a single blow to the jaw.

Jack Dempsey died at the age of 87, despite stating, “I’m too mean to die.” He is buried right here, in a Southampton cemetery. week. Do not question your instincts.

Go on first impressions. Make the first move. Try to see through false facades.

You may experience a breakthrough in your work. Write your ideas down.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Act in the manner of an authoritative and self-assured person who knows how to initiate action. Prepare to be inspired this week. You need to be involved in a creative project that will hold your steady attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20) You may need to re-evaluate things. If you are bored or dissatisfied with the status quo, avoid distractions and examine your heart of hearts to gain clarity.

“Crying over spilt milk” or saying “I told you so” is not attractive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 19) This week the focus is on relationships. There could be a development of a loving union and room for passions to grow, even with someone you already know.

There will be a heartfelt emotional exchange of some sort, but all may not be revealed now.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) You need to protect your energy this weekdon’t give away too much attention to someone who is too needy. Small gatherings that provide you with social connections can greatly benefit you this week. Patronize the arts and relax as best you can.

NOTE: If you were born at the end or beginning of a sign, also read the sign before or after your birthday.

Nick & Toni’s N i c k & To n i ’ s i n E a s t Hampton has announced that Julie Berger (above) will take the lead as General Manager as of the 2015 season. Berger will continue to run the wine program at Nick & Toni’s, while performing the traditional role of GM managing the front-of-the-house of the restaurant.

Berger has worn many hats at Nick & Toni’s. From coat check to bus girl, to server to sommelier, then wine director, she now adds general manager to her resume, all at one of the most famed tables in the Hamptons, Nick & Toni’s.

Throw a few years in California and one at the three-star Michelin restaurant, Jean Georges in New York City, in between and you have one of the most well-rounded and experienced members of the Nick & Toni’s team.

Berger took the role of wine director of the Honest Man restaurant group, which includes Nick & Toni’s, Rowdy H a l l , To w n l i n e B B Q , N i c k & Toni’s Café and Honest Catering,

in 2012. As the wine director, Berger handled all of the wine purchasing for the restaurants, staff training and development, and profit and loss management. Given her passion for wine, she will consult on the wine program at all properties however her focus will be Nick & Toni’s.

Over the last decade-plus, Berger has spent her time developing and refining her wine knowledge. As a certified sommelier by The Court of Master Sommeliers, she continues to advance through the prestigious program. Thus far, she has completed the level II certification and is working toward the ultimate goal of master sommelier, the finest wineprofessional credential anyone can attain worldwide.

In the last two years she has traveled the world, constantly visiting wineries and spending time with wine makers to help gain a better understanding of the craft. She has spent time in Italy, Spain, France, and most recently spent ten weeks in Marlborough, New Zealand, to work during the spring harvest.
