It wasn’t immediately apparent which children had cancer and which didn’t as they jumped off the planes.

And that’s kind of the point of the program. The collaboration between Patient Airlift Services and Kids Need More Adventure Camp offers respite for parents, plus the chance “for the kids to be kids,” Jaime Pacheco, a member of the camp’s board and one of its counselors, said.

“Sometimes the needs of siblings have to be on the backburner. This gives them attention, too.”

On Saturday 15 children, in aircraft piloted by volunteers who cover all travel expenses, landed at East Hampton Airport, destined for the camp on Shelter Island.

The motto for PALS is “Changing Lives, One Flight At A Time.”

Executive director Eileen Minogue explained the genesis of the

Independent/Morgan McGivern

Letting The Kids Be Kids

nonprofit. “We knew there was a need. A lot of people forego getting the best treatment because distance is a barrier. We felt we could fill that void.”

In its first year, PALS undertook 210 flights. Last month alone, 323 patients were transported, “and we’re just seven years old,” Minogue explained. Since its founding, she said, “We have arranged over 13,000 flights. That’s a number that touches my heart.”

PALS flies children to camp and treatment. It also transports wounded veterans to treatment and special outings.

Asked to consider a patient whose story touched her heart, Minogue’s eyes welled. “There was one kid from Long Island, Thomas. We flew him back and forth to Johns Hopkins for treatment . . . He was just beyond his years, very faithful, very strong; he fought so hard. [When he died] I was devastated.”

PALS campers arrive at East Hampton Airport.

Another boy was told by doctors in Buffalo that he was beyond treatment. PALS volunteers flew him to Sloan Kettering for surgery.

He survived the surgery, but died of heart failure hours later. PALS flew his family downstate to reunite with the fallen teen, then brought the whole family back to Buffalo.

Another story, from the PALS for Patriots program. Minogue recalled a combat-wounded vet who’d lost his hand and an eye, and

had extensive facial damage. PALS helped him participate in an outing to a baseball game and although he said he didn’t want his photograph taken,”He was in every picture! He said ‘It was a turning point in my recovery. I know I can move forward now,’” Minogue related.

On Saturday, Marco Colon was the first camper to land, in a plane arriving from Mount Pocono, PA. He enjoyed the flight -- “We kept

same access to state-of-the-art cancer research as that of a large hospital in the city. It has always been important to us to keep the money we raise on Long Island in the Long Island community,” Ratner said.

Ellen’s Run, an East End annual 5k race, will take place on Sunday at 9 AM. This run is the signature fundraiser for the Ellen Hermanson Foundation, and brings muchneeded awareness of breast cancer to Long Island.

Ellen’s Run also supports Ellen’s Well, a program that provides psychosocial support for breast cancer survivors under the leadership of specially trained certified social workers. “It is important to help cancer victims through every phase, and the support from the run allows us to

Founded in the memory of Ellen Hermanson, a local who battled cancer for nearly 10 years and became an activist and voice for breast cancer victims, Ellen’s Run lets her legacy and fight live on.

According to its website, the Ellen Hermanson Foundation was established in 1997 to honor the memory of Ellen Hermanson and carry on the important work to which she devoted so much of her time and energy. An activist and an advocate, Ellen channeled her journalistic talents to become a forceful voice for breast cancer patients and their families. She educated people about the importance of early detection, the challenges of living with breast cancer, the very real but little-discussed issue of pain management, and the debilitating effects of breast cancer on the entire family.

The East End of Long Island has some of the highest diagnosis and mortality rates for breast cancer in the country. Because of the overwhelming support from Ellen’s Run and other fundraising efforts, the foundation has been able to provide the Ellen Hermanson Breast Cancer Center at Southampton Hospital. The center provides state-of-theart technology, such as digital mammography equipment, to women and men on the East End. The center allows doctors to detect breast cancer earlier, and help them combat it more forcefully.

“The foundation is dedicated to providing life-saving services to men and women of Long Island regardless of their ability to pay,” stated Julie Ratner, Ellen’s sister and founding member of the Foundation. Any procedure done in the Ellen Hermanson Breast Cancer Center is done free of charge. “We wanted women and men of Long Island to have the

my mouth with delicious food and drink that I know is “bad” for me.

Jerry’s Ink

by Jerry Della Femina

I’M SICK OF HEALTHY FOODS Just about everyone I know, including members of my family, have decided they’re gluten intolerant.

This means they can’t eat pasta, bread, pizza, bagels, pancakes, waffles, doughnuts, cookies, and soy sauce. You know, all the foods that make life worth living.

But here’s a warning: Never question a person who says they are gluten intolerant, because they’ll cut your heart out for doubting them. They will have you believe that removing gluten has saved their life.

And in case you wonder what their life was like before they went gluten-free, they will say that the major part of their life was spent sitting on a toilet.

This is confusing because a few years ago, no one had ever heard

August 16

the word “gluten,” and now it’s the magic word in every food store. It’s replacing “fat free,” the magic words five years ago.

The truth is only one out of every 133 people has celiac autoimmune disease, and they should avoid gluten, but that doesn’t explain the astronomical rise in the number of people who have pronounced that they are gluten intolerant without taking any tests.

Gluten freaks are almost as disgusting as vegans. I love to torture vegans by saying, “Sometimes when I bite into a carrot I can hear it screaming.”

I have a problem with people who deprive themselves of delicious foods because they have fallen for a fad. I also have a problem eating any food that will make me healthier because I prefer stuffing

My record with healthy foods is abysmal, so I know health foods aren’t for me. My question is: Are they for anyone? Is this a big scam? Next to religious fanatics, health food fanatics are the most frightening of fanatics.

Many, many years ago I went to what I believe was the first health food restaurant in New York City.

It was called Brownies. I sat at the counter and looked at the menu. It had soybean cutlet, pseudo-chicken chow mein, chili no carne, and vegetarian chicken liver.

I gagged. Then I looked at the waiters and waitresses who served and ate that stuff. Their skin was so pale it looked like they were ghouls living in damp cellars and they had never been out in the sun. They all had enormous pimples. Not just good old-fashioned acne, but outand-out purple, pimply pizza faces that had been deprived of the salt, butter and chemicals that makes your skin healthy. I got up and fled before they could turn me into one of them.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a study of the life span of people who work in or frequent health food stores. Do you know any 90-yearold health food fanatics? I don’t.

Over the years I’ve tried to strike a good balance while consuming plenty of salt, olive oil, delicious fatty steak, pasta, wine and vodka,

as well as methylcyclopropene, astaxanthin, aspartame, benzoic acid/sodium benzoate, hydroxyanisole, canthaxanthin, potassium bromate, and that good old standby, high-fructose corn syrup.

Lately it’s been tough to find foods that are bad for me. I can’t stand walking into a supermarket anymore.

There’s no stopping the food police.

They are relentless and they have crushed the food companies and corpulent America.

They have single-handedly destroyed the hamburger, insisting that every supermarket only offer 80 percent “lean” hamburger meat, which results in hamburgers that taste like hockey pucks.

Want a great hamburger? Do as I do and go to Cromer’s Country Market in Sag Harbor and ask for Ray at the meat counter. Ray is the best butcher in the western world. He’ll grind you a hamburger consisting of great meat laced with plenty of delicious fat and presto! you’ll be grilling the juiciest, most delicious hamburgers you have ever tasted.

The food police have even destroyed the joy of cooking.

The other day I went to the supermarket looking for a lousy can of chicken broth. When I cook pasta, I like to take a can of Campbell’s Chicken Broth and boil away the water so I’m left with a few salty, fatty tablespoons, which I add to my tomato sauce. It adds a nice flavor to the sauce.

However, as I walked up and down the supermarket aisle (the Campbell’s Soup section is the size of my first apartment), there was no good old-fashioned salty Campbell’s Chicken Broth to be found. No, all they had was tons of Campbell’s Low Sodium junk. The Campbell’s Soup empire was built on salt and water and some chicken fat. Take away the salt and all you have is water and a few drops of chicken fat. UGH! This got me walking from aisle to aisle checking the labels. It was “gluten-free” this, “gluten-free” that, “fat-free” this and “low-carb” that and “low-sodium” everything.

Test Samples Continue To Vary

By Kitty Merrill

Tests performed by volunteers in Southampton last week demonstrate the undulating levels of enterococcus that have been found in area water bodies since testing began four years ago.

This week, samples from Little Fresh Pond in North Sea demonstrated a level of the bacteria deemed high – at 622. National health standards consider over 100 colony forming units per 100 ml indicative of high bacteria presence, so any number over 100 is deemed high.

By contrast, tests performed at Little Fresh on July 31 revealed an extremely high level at 3968. That means last week’s tests showed a significant drop. In July’s earlier weekly tests, levels were listed at 426, 266, 341, and 318 – all high, all fluctuating.

Samples from Sagg Pond tested the highest this week of the 18 sites in Southampton Town checked by the Peconic Baykeeper and Surfrider Foundation’s nationwide Blue Water Task Force. Samples showed an entero level of 1553, down from 1726 on July 31. In July’s earlier weekly tests, levels were listed at 1274, 324, 10, and 75.

Circle Beach in Noyac was the only other site to test in the high range for the bacteria. It measured 185, just beyond the level considered high.

Further demonstrating the changeable nature of the bacteria incursion, last week samples taken by volunteers from the Concerned Citizens of Montauk in collaboration with the Blue Water Task Force at Fresh Pond Creek in Amagansett tested high, at 714. The week before, tests revealed levels in the medium range.

Enterococci are bacteria that live in the intestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Presence of the bacteria in water can be an indicator of fecal waste contamination. According to CCOM’s environmental advocate Kate Rossi-Snook, high

concentrations can be attributed to pet and animal waste, runoff, and groundwater saturation related to septic systems that are not well maintained.

The numbers fluctuate and can be dependent on the temperature of the water, the population, and the level of precipitation.

According to the US EPA’s National Aquatic Resource Surveys, Continued On Page 64.

Sand In My Shoes

by Denis Hamill

YAZ: FROM BRIDGEHAMPTON FARMBOY TO HALL OF FAME Yaz.

Depending on whether he was with you or against you the very word “Yaz” evoked reverence or terror.

If you want to know about baseball Hall of Famer Carl “Yaz” Yastrzemski’s East End roots, get on line on Friday night at 5 PM at the Bridgehampton Museum Archives, 2539A Montauk Highway, where Geoff Gehman, author of the memoir The Kingdom of the Kid: Growing Up in the LongLost Hamptons (SUNY Press,) will talk about playing Little League baseball in the cleat prints of the storied Yaz.

Until I spoke with Gehman and visited this wonderful exhibit “Yazzamatazz: Carl Yastrzemski as Folk Hero, Role Model and Cultural Icon,” conceived by Julie B. Greene, curator and archivist of the Bridgehampton Museum, I vaguely thought that like Thor before him Yaz had thundered down from some Olympus. Instead of a hammer, he brandished a magical Louisville Slugger.

When I worked for the Boston Herald American in the early 1980s, Boston Red Sox fans spoke the word “Yaz” with such reverence that you expected an accompanying Sign of the Cross. Fans streamed from every parish in Greater Boston to a cathedral called

thurSDAY

Fenway Pahk from spring to fall (in good years) to worship this 5’ 11”, 180-pound Yaz, hoping to see their baseball god perform new miracles like the ones in 1967, year of the Lord, when he won the MLB Triple Crown – batting .326, with 44 HR and 126 RBI -- and took the Sox from the sub-basement to a pennant, going 7-8 with 6 RBI in the final two games of the race.

In the seven-game World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals Yaz batted .400, with three HR, and 5 RBI. They lost. But Yaz had resurrected the “Dead Sox” to an American League flag.

Over the years I watched Yaz master the 37-foot-high, 240-footwide Green Monster as a left fielder, earning seven career Gold Gloves and a spot on 18 All Stars teams.

Even as a New Yawkah in Beantown, it never occurred to me to think about Yaz’s origins. The old altar boy in me assumed Yaz simply always was and always would be as Boston as the Tea Party, Paul Revere’s Ride and, well, the Green Monstah.

It hit me like a line drive off his bat to learn that Yaz is from Bridgehampton.

And now the Green Monster has been replicated in the

a wire in his garage and Yaz would take a thousand swings a night.”

As a boy Yaz was a natural athlete who excelled in football and basketball. “But baseball was his sport,” Gehman said. “He received a toy bat at 18 months. When he got older his dad rigged a tennis ball on

“When I was a kid playing Little League my dad showed me where Yaz -- whom I idolized -- lived and played,” said Gehman. “When I lost a big game I found comfort going

“Yaz was a regular kid from an average small American town,” says Gehman. “His father was a terrific baseball player himself who was offered a contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers that he turned down to save his Polish immigrant father’s potato farm out on Cooks Lane in Water Mill, a few miles from the house Yaz grew up in on School Street, a few lots up from Candy Kitchen.”

Then young Yaz played baseball from the first sprouts of infield grass in spring until the fulvous leaves of fall clattered across the outfield. On days off or in the evenings after games Yaz would go alone to the family’s vast flat potato fields and hit rocks into orbit above the East End. As I stood on Cooks Lane with my son Liam on Sunday, a magical little place where a wiffle ball and bat are nailed into a tree to mark the ground zero of Yaz’s baseball life, I could envision that American farm boy dreaming of belting his way out of Bridgehampton which Carl Sr. called “this punk-ass little town” long before it became a summer Mecca for Manhattan millionaires.

Independent / Courtesy NOAA, climate.gov Experts are predicting an “active” hurricane season this year.

By Rick Murphy

The official National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration hurricane predictor was updated this week, and the bottom line is cause for concern.

After a few years of relative inaction, the 2017 season will likely be an “active” one, officials said.

Forecasters are now predicting a higher likelihood of an abovenormal season, and they increased the predicted number of named storms and major hurricanes. The season has the potential to be “extremely” active, and could be the most active since 2010.

“We’re now entering the peak of the season when the bulk of the storms usually form,” said Gerry Bell, Ph.D., lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. “The wind and air patterns in the area of the

FrIDAY

tropical Atlantic and Caribbean where many storms develop are very conducive to an above-normal season. This is in part because the chance of an El Niño forming, which tends to prevent storms from strengthening, has dropped significantly from May.”

like a see-saw between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, strengthening hurricane activity in one region while weakening it in the other,” according to climate.gov.

“There are very clear cycles that run between 20 and 25 years. For example, from 1970 to the mid90s it was suppressed. Since then it’s been enhanced,” Bell said. That means it is more likely we’ll get a larger than normal number of hurricanes. “We’re expecting a lot,” he warned.

These are not landfall predictions.

There is no way of knowing where they are going to go. It depends on the weather patterns, Bell pointed out.

The Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO) climate cycle gives very clear indications of what an upcoming hurricane season may bring, Bell said in an interview.

El Niño favors stronger hurricane activity in the central and eastern Pacific basins, and suppresses it in the Atlantic basin. Conversely, La Niña suppresses hurricane activity in the central and eastern Pacific basins, and enhances it in the Atlantic basin.

“The hurricane impacts of El Niño and its counterpart La Niña are

What is known is that based on the indicators we “are likely to get more storms forming in the AfricaCaribbean sea basin. They tend to track westward” – toward the Americas, he added.

Bell noted other factors that point to an above-normal season include warmer waters across the tropical Atlantic than models previously predicted and higher predicted activity from available models.

In just the first nine weeks of this season there have been six named storms, which is half the number of storms during an average six-month season and double the number of storms that would typically form by early August. An average Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, produces 12 named storms, of which six become hurricanes, including three major hurricanes.

“This is the peak season,” Bell said.

“If there is a high pressure over the upper atmosphere they will tend to track up the eastern Atlantic.”

The updated outlook is based

State Mandated Course Required For Hunters

By Rick Murphy

day to earn certification for the course.

For decades the problems that come with an over-population of deer were handled the oldfashioned way: duh, it’s called hunting.

Access to the homework materials and online homework options can be found on the DEC’s website. Actual course manuals and homework sheets are always available from DEC wildlife offices and sportsman education instructors.

Local municipalities have extended their hunting seasons and expanded areas where hunting is allowed. Be advised, though, that a permit or license is required.

Cantwell, a lifelong resident of East Hampton, said his sense is the deer population “has not increased substantially” in recent years, but noted as a youngster deer were hardly ever seen out in the open.

All new hunters and trappers planning to go afield this season must first complete a mandatory hunter, bowhunter, or trapper education course before obtaining the appropriate sporting license or hunting privilege.

New York State Department of Environmental commissioner Basil Seggos issued a reminder this week now that state licenses have gone on sale.

Independent / Courtesy NYSDEC The State DEC website offers a full schedule of classes being offered for would-be hunters and areas on Long Island that will open for hunting season.

these training courses free of charge. Courses are offered for hunter education, bowhunter education, trapper education, and waterfowl hunter education.

Each year, more than 45,000 New Yorkers take DEC’s hunter and trapper education courses, Seggos said.

“Hunting and trapping are proud traditions in New York State that continue to be safely enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors each year and hunting opportunities have never been better,” Seggos said. “DEC’s sportsman education program is effective in producing safe, ethical hunters, and we are grateful to the volunteer instructors that serve as the backbone to deliver our program. I encourage all prospective hunters to sign up early for one of the hundreds of courses offered all across New York,” he added.

DEC works closely with thousands of dedicated DEC-certified instructors statewide to provide

SAturDAY

DEC’s online registration system makes it easy to view a list of all available courses with the student’s proximity to course locations.

Students can register from any device - smartphone, tablet, or computer - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Courses are added continuously throughout the year, so those interested should regularly check the online system to find a local course.

To locate a nearby hunter or trapper education course, visit DEC’s website or contact a local DEC office for assistance.

With the debate raging about how to handle what many perceive to be an overabundance of deer, it is particularly important that

would-be hunters be made aware of the rules and the dates hunting seasons are in effect – the state and individual municipalities may not have the same dates.

East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said his town has taken several steps to control the deer population.

“For the past three years we’ve expanded hunting opportunities on public properties,” he noted.

“We also expanded bow hunting season.” The town also tried to lower the state-mandated 30 MPH speed limit, but thus far has been rebuffed.

Students should register for the state course well in advance of the course date in order to allow time to complete the homework requirement, which takes approximately three hours.

All courses will require successful completion of an in-person field

“My feeling is it needs to be managed – it needs to be reduced,” he said of the deer population.

Ideally, that would be done by “expanding hunting opportunities,” he added.

Toward that end the town is getting more and more private property owners to allow bow hunters on their property.

New York’s hunter education courses are highly effective in fostering safe hunters.

Approximately 500,000 licensed hunters spend an estimated 10 to 15 million days afield each year. Reports on the number of hunting-related shooting incidents indicate that in 2016 only 13 hunting-related shooting incidents occurred - the lowest number on record since DEC began compiling hunting-related shooting statistics in 1958. These low numbers are achieved through training and the regulations governing hunting activities in New York State.

DEC’s sportsman education program is designed to teach and promote safe and effective hunting principles, practices, and strategies.

Heroin Arrest Made The East End Drug Task Force continued its assault on heroin and opiate dealers in the area by arresting a Riverside man officials said was a dealer.

On August 9, Southampton Town Police officers, part of the Community Response Unit, attempted to pull over a 2017 Chevy Malibu on Riverleigh Avenue in Riverside. They said the driver initially refused to pull over and when he eventually did he allegedly threw a quantity of powder out the window. Two police officers who said they were exposed to the drug were taken to the hospital for observation.

The driver, identified as Charles Kendall Johnson of Ludlam Avenue, 32, was no stranger to law enforcement personnel. The EEDTF has been conducting a “lengthy investigation into narcotics

During the 18th and 19th centuries volunteers decorated new “engins,” often commissioning famous artists to paint art with patriotic or mythological themes on the trucks.

Back then rival engine companies would wash down the new truck, giving it an aggressive soaking. That custom may have evolved into the modern-day wetdown, a tradition prevalent in the Northeast.

Volunteers from neighboring departments drive past the new apparatus and spray it down from their trucks.

Celebrating Suffrage’s Centennial

Compiled by Kitty Merrill

This year celebrates the 100th anniversary of NYS women winning the vote in 1917, three years before the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1920, which provided the franchise to women throughout the nation.

This right was granted when male voters passed a referendum on the NYS ballot (it was defeated in 1915) on November 6, 1917, “conferring equal suffrage upon women.” Western states had already granted women suffrage years earlier.

The tall blue-and-gold historic marker was erected last spring on the grassy strip in front of the Manson house at 117 Main Street, now owned by Mary Jane and Charles Brock.

The Hamptons League has invited many community groups to participate by “meeting at the

In celebration of the centennial, the League of Women Voters of The Hamptons has been co-sponsoring speakers and events with local libraries and historical societies all year.

The latest is an event for all to participate, the re-creation of a suffrage rally that took place on Main Street, East Hampton, in August 1913, a few months after the huge Washington D.C. suffrage parade in March and the New York City march in May. Arlene Hinkemeyer, South Fork suffragist historian and chair of The Hamptons LWV committee organizing the 100th anniversary events, said newspaper coverage of the 1913 rally enabled the LWV to envision a recreation of the rally. It will be held on August 24 from 2 to 4 PM. LWV Hamptons committee members include Barbara McClancy and Cathy Peacock of Amagansett, Martha Potter of Sag Harbor, and Judi Roth and Susan Wilson of Southampton.

“And I’m so pleased,” said Hinkemeyer, “that the Village of East Hampton was able to win a Pomeroy Foundation historic suffrage grant to honor our unsung suffrage leader here in East Hampton, Suffolk County and New York City — Mrs. Thomas L. (May Groot) Manson — with an historic suffrage marker.”

Choral Society Scholarships

By Elizabeth Vespe

Four high school students, three from Sag Harbor’s Pierson High School and one from East Hampton High School, have won this year’s scholarships for voice training from the Choral Society of The Hamptons.

The society established the scholarship program over two decades ago to honor and encourage both professional and amateur participation in singing.

The winners were selected after each performed an audition piece, answered a two-page questionnaire, and provided a sealed evaluation from a teacher rating them on 13 musical skills.

They winners are Anna Francesca Schiavoni, who is a rising Pierson High School junior, Graham DiLorenzo, another Pierson junior who hopes for a career in musical theater, Myra Arshad, a junior at East Hampton High School this fall who auditioned with “On My Own” from Les Miserables, and Mackenzie Alice Pharaoh, a junior this fall at Pierson who has been singing for 10 years and studying voice for three.

The scholarships carry on parts of local music history. Schiavoni and DiLorenzo won Doris and William Leese Scholarships, each worth $500, named for the late Doris Leese, a voice teacher in East Hampton who started the awards when she was a Choral Society member and its executive director. Ashad won the $250 scholarship named to honor the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Norman Dello Joio, who lived in East Hampton and whose pieces the Society performed. Pharoah won the $250 Charlotte Rogers Smith scholarship, named for a

Bridgehampton musician and teacher who founded the Society 71 years ago.

The Society welcomes singers of all ages including high school students who have basic choral singing skills.

It’s an auditioned chorus with a professional music director that performs with professional soloists, orchestra, and accompanist. The Choral Society has been presenting high-quality choral music on the East End of Long Island since it was founded in 1946. For additional information, visit www. choralsocietyofthehamptons.org.

Blue Green Algae Continues To Bloom

A cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, sample.

Independent / Courtesy CCE

By Kitty Merrill

Sampling performed by SUNY Stony Brook has confirmed the presence of new cyanobacteria blooms, more commonly known as blue–green algae, in Fort Pond in Montauk and in the pond located at the corner of Silvermere Road and Shore Drive in Greenport.

Blue-green algae are naturally present in lakes and streams in low numbers, but they can become abundant, forming blooms in shades of green, blue-green, yellow, brown, or red. When that happens, contact with the waters can be dangerous. Health officials ask residents not to use or swim or wade in these waters and to keep their pets and children away from the area.

Known as Harmful Algal Blooms, HABs may produce floating scums on the surface of the water or may cause the water to take on a paintlike appearance.

Contact with waters that appear

tuESDAY

scummy or discolored should be avoided. If contact does occur, rinse off with clean water immediately.

Seek medical attention if any of the following symptoms occur after contact: nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; skin, eye, or throat irritation; or allergic reactions or breathing difficulties.

For a comprehensive list of affected waterbodies in New York State, visit the DEC’s Harmful Algal Bloom notification page at http:// www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/83310. html.

HABs have been detected in nearly 300 water bodies since 2012. To address HABs, DEC works with the NYS Department of Health, NYS Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, and other state and local partners.

While the exact cause of HABs is not fully understood, blooms occur most often in waters high in phosphorus and/or nitrogen.

By Zachary Weiss

Performing at the iconic Apollo Theater has always been seen as the apex of any entertainer’s career, and the Apollo in The Hamptons benefit is often regarded as one of the best parties to take place “out east” every summer. In the past, it’s attracted renowned musicians including Jennifer Lopez, Lionel Richie, and Usher, and this year included performances by Justin Timberlake and Gary Clark Jr. among with Pharrell Williams, Jamie Foxx, Alice Smith, and Patty Smyth.

It’s much more than an evening of festivities. The yearly celebration raises funds for the Harlem landmark, which opened its doors

in 1934, and its wide variety of programs that improve the local community and beyond. Thus, once the well-heeled guests return to their homes and the party supplies are put away, there’s work to be done.

Since the Apollo in The Hamptons benefit debuted in 2009, the theater has doubled its impact, and now welcomes more than 200,000 patrons each year. It expanded its education programs, both in schools and at the historic theater, to engage more than 20,000 students, teachers, families, and scholars annually.

We sat down with Jonelle Procope, president and CEO of the Apollo, to understand exactly what goes on behind the benefit.

Can you walk us through the organization’s various programs and who they aim to benefit?

The Apollo is over 80 years old with an amazing history and legacy, and has become one of the nation’s leading nonprofit performing arts institutions. Over the last several years, we have built and grown a strong suite of artistic, education, and community programs that honor the legacy of this historic theater.

As a presenting organization, our season includes a wide range of programming, including commissions, premieres, and

collaborations with local, national, and international artists working across a range of disciplines and genres -- from dance and theater to jazz, soul, and opera.

To give you a sense of some of the highlights coming up, the season opens with the New York premiere of the genre-defying opera We Shall Not Be Moved from composer Daniel Bernard Roumain, librettist Marc Bamuthi Joseph, and director/ choreographer Bill T. Jones.

Isaac Klein: The School Of Doing understand.”

By Georgia Warner

World-renowned theatre director and educator Gerald Freedman has had a profound impact on the lives of many of his students, but perhaps none so distinctly as East Hampton native Isaac Klein. Klein, director and first-time author of The School of Doing: Lessons from Gerald Freedman -- a detailed tapestry of Freedman’s unique approach to theatre craft, featuring contributions from Kevin Kline, Olympia Dukakis, Patti LuPone, and a forward by Mandy Patinkin -- had not set out to write a book. In fact, Klein had not set out to direct, until he met his mentor.

“I was very intent on being an actor,” Klein explained. “That was my dream.” Growing up in Springs, the son of New York Times bestselling author Dava Sobel (who wrote an astronomy column for The Independent in the early years) and Art Klein, the young Isaac frequently tread the boards with Jacqui Leader’s Kids Connect and Helene Leonard’s Stages.

After graduating East Hampton High School and being accepted into the acting program at North Carolina School of the Arts following a long conversation with Freedman about the philosophy of theatre, the faculty seemed to be in unanimous agreement that Isaac was better suited for the directing program.

“At first, I was very resistant, and almost offended by the idea,” Klein acknowledged. “But I looked around and realized how much they were nailing the assessments of everyone else in my class, and I thought, ‘Well, what are the odds that they’re right about all of them, but wrong about me?’”

Furthermore, Klein knew that a switch into the highly-selective directing program would mean the coveted opportunity of studying under Freedman, who was not only the dean and head of the directing program, but also an award-winning Broadway and off-Broadway director, former artistic director of Shakespeare in the Park, professor at Yale and Juilliard, and the first American ever to be invited to direct at London’s Old Globe; it was a 24

privilege not to be overlooked. So, in Klein’s second year, he changed his focus.

“We’d sit with Gerald and go over books about directing, and talk about our experiences directing shows, what we observed, what was working, what wasn’t working. And it was really this, essentially Socratic method of teaching directing where it was through a discussion of process and his experience that he instilled in us the fundamentals of what he thinks makes for good directing.”

The more Klein studied with Freedman, the more passionate and certain he became that he’d be pursuing a career in directing come graduation. When that time came, he wanted to somehow thank Freedman for guiding his course, so he went through his notes and put together a humble three-page packet of Freedman’s quotes which had stood out to him during his time in class.

“I said all this?” Klein remembers Freedman saying when presented with the packet. “I don’t even remember saying all this, but this is great! This is exactly what I want to say. You basically put my directing curriculum onto three pages!”

Freedman proceeded to hand the packet out as a kind of syllabus to incoming students. That’s when Klein realized, “I have some aptitude for taking this man’s wisdom and putting it into a form that he feels good about, that he wants to share as a representation of his teachings.”

And so, the seed of The School of Doing was sown.

In the years following Klein’s 2006 graduation, he and Freedman kept in touch through phone calls and visits, Freedman always taking great interest in Klein’s directorial pursuits, and “always so supportive and insightful.” At one point, Klein brought up the idea of expanding the quote-packet into a more comprehensive book, but Freedman was lukewarm on the idea.

“I think he was still really focused on teaching at that time,” explained Klein, “and he was hesitant about feeling like he was putting a period on his life and work.”

Then, in 2011, Freedman suffered a series of strokes that left him hindered by aphasia, and forced him to take a step back from actively directing and teaching. During one of his visits with Klein, Freedman circled back to the book idea, this time deciding a new project might be just the thing he needed.

Klein’s initial approach, to transcribe interview sessions with Freedman, proved difficult, now that Freedman’s verbal communication was hindered.

Luckily, Klein uncovered mountains of archived recordings of Freedman speaking in classrooms, and in listening to the tapes, realized, “The best material never actually came from Gerald just sitting and talking; it came from him working with students to get to the essence of an idea in order to help them

Klein collected every source he could find; he gathered mp3s, cassettes, microcassettes for which he needed to purchase a microcassette player on eBay (“It had some North Carolina person’s old answering machine messages on it, it was very interesting”); he reached out to many of Gerald’s esteemed former students and collaborators who were eager to contribute; he made a publicity video, and created a Kickstarter campaign.

The hope for the campaign was to be fully funded within 28 days -- by the end of the first day, he had garnered $8000; by the end of the first week, he had cleared his entire fundraising goal.

“People really love Gerald, and there’s a strong community of people that want to support the legacy of his teachings, but I didn’t think it would happen that fast,” said Klein, whose stretch goals for the Kickstarter now include a multi-city book tour.

Klein foresees three different audiences for The School of Doing.

“There’s the people who already know and love Gerald, the people in the theatre world who don’t know him, and then everyone else, who maybe isn’t in theatre, but is interested or curious,” he said.

“One of the things that I love most about Gerald’s teachings,” Klein continued, “is that so many of them are not just a wonderful guide for theatre, they’re a wonderful guide for being a human and being alive. You have to learn how to really listen.

Really communicate effectively.

Really be in the moment. Those are principles that, if you really get a handle on them, will serve you in anything that you do. So I’m hopeful that people who are not theatre nerds like me will still find some wonderful pearls of wisdom for whatever sort of life they lead.”

Meanwhile, the theatre community can appreciate that Isaac Klein made a book where there never was a book.

To pre-order The School of Doing: Lessons from Gerald Freedman, watch the Kickstarter video, and/or make a contribution before the campaign ends on Tuesday, search for The School of Doing on www.Kickstarter.com.

As You Like It: Adventures In The Forest

“All the world’s a stage” is the most famous line from William Shakespeare’s As You Like It and as uttered by the legendary Ellen Burstyn it seems to be true, at least for the two hours audiences enjoy John Doyle’s lively, funny version of William Shakespeare’s frothy little pastoral musical comedy at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.

Doyle is known for making his actors push the envelope, often playing instruments during the

show, and this production is no different, as the ensemble engages the crowd with turns on the violin, cello, trumpet, piano, guitar, and ukulele. Burstyn amazes as the melancholy Jacques (“JakeWheeze”), and the always-brilliant Andre de Shields as the fool Touchstone creates some of the funniest moments, but the entire cast does a most admirable job.

The PR explains that this production is set during the Jazz Age, but with the minimalist sets and costumes it could be any time.

The forest of Arden is invoked with the staggered lights that fill the stage at different heights and with interesting wooden holders, globes which glow alternately green, blue, and flickering rainbow shades, along with other colors. But those same lights were also an annoyance – audiences seated either stage left or right above perhaps the fifth row lost actors faces behind the lower lights during key scenes.

Stephen Schwartz’s original music added to Shakespeare’s original lyrics are high points indeed. The whole production itself is well worth seeing.

Now to the play itself – as a Bardgeek, it’s not one of my personal favorites. One must suspend disbelief constantly – why does the

reigning Duke suddenly decide to throw Rosalind out? What is the deal with the wrestling? And most importantly, how can Orlando – not to mention the exiled Duke, her father – fail to recognize Rosalind simply because she is wearing pants and speaking in a lower voice? But if viewed with all the childish pleasure of watching a Disney film, it works.

This production is gender blind as well as color blind, which can cause confusion, plus the actors sometimes portray dual roles -like Noah Brody, who plays both Orlando’s evil older brother Oliver and the shepherd Corin. As it is, in the original production, the part of Rosalind was played by a boy, as were all of Shakespeare’s women -- and at some points it was a boy playing a girl who was playing a boy playing a girl -- well, you get the picture.

If you are unfamiliar with the work, no matter. Bay Street has enclosed a useful primer in the program to explain the storyline. Brush up your Shakespeare by reading it before the play starts for full Elizabethan enjoyment.

As You Like It runs through September 3. Call the Bay Street box office at 631-725-9500 for tickets, or visit www.baystreet.org.

The music plays all week long from Sunday until Saturday, August 26.

Lilah Gosman and Miloš Repický get the credit for putting this event together. They’ve made the summer series into a tradition of world-class musical performances in Montauk’s most beautiful and iconic outdoor venues.

From the weeping birch tree at the Fort Pond House, to the rolling hills and stunning views at Third House, Montauk For Music tailors musical programming to celebrate the stunning location.

The performances are timed to end just before sunset so the combination of location, light, and music create a complete experience.

The free concerts last just over an hour and the audience can bring their own picnics, chairs, and blankets. The concerts take place at the perfect post-beach, pre-dinner hour.

The weeklong event kicks off on Sunday at 5 PM at the Fort Pond House with the Opening of the Wells featuring vocal ensembles and chamber music.

Soprano Raquel González from the Washington National Opera performs Rusalka’s “Song to the Moon” by Antonin Dvořák. This concert will be free for all.

On Tuesday at 8 PM, Music for Montauk presents the Pedro Giraudo Tango Trio with special guest vocalist Sofia Tosello at Solé East.

This year, Music for Montauk is doing it bigger than ever before with Mozart for Montauk, including virtuoso soloists and a full-scale symphony in concert on Thursday.

“Mozart’s music is perfect for Third House. It’s exciting, beautiful, playful, and dramatic all at once,” enthused Repický, vice president of Music for Montauk and conductor.

Annaliesa Place is set to play the Violin Concerto in A with its lyrical tune and raucous countrydance rhythms.

Amanda Lynn Bottoms, awardwinning mezzo-soprano, praised

by The New York Times for her “excellent” and “smooth” tone, will sing Mozart’s show-stopping aria “Parto, ma tu ben mio”

Later on, clarinetist Benjamin Fingland will offer the soaring melody of the Clarinet Concerto.

Music for Montauk’s chamber orchestra will accompany the soloists and then perform Mozart’s Symphony No. 25 in G minor as the main event.

Mozart in Montauk on Thursday, August 24, is at 6:30 PM at Third House. Admission is free and the event is fun for the whole family.

Friday, August 25, from 6 to 9 PM, Music for Montauk presents a sunset salon at the Art Barge on the Napeague Stretch. This special event features the music of JS Bach, Kurt Weill, and Rebecca Clarke, along with new works by composer-performers Jessica Meyers and Diego Garcia in a musical experience with an exceptional sunset view. Enjoy the music of mezzo-soprano Amanda Lynn Bottoms, violinists Joanna Maurer and Annaliesa Place, and clarinetist Benjamin Fingland.

Tickets will be $150 per person and are available for purchase online.

Cocktails and light fare will be served.

The summer series comes to a finale on Saturday, August 26, at 6:30 PM with a free concert by the Schumann Piano Quintet at Third House. Artistic directors Lilah Gosman and Miloš Repický join Music for Montauk’s string quartet for songs and Robert Schumann’s exhilarating Piano Quintet in E flat Major. “The final concert in the series is always the most personal and intimate from the musicians,” Repický said.

Darlene Love, America’s Voice

By Rick Murphy

You’ve heard her singing 1000 times.

No, really.

It’s just that Darlene Love goes by many names.

You’ve heard “He’s A Rebel?” That’s Darlene. Yes, the record label says it’s performed by The Crystals – pay it no mind.

Remember “Zip-a Dee Do-Dah”

by Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans?

That’s Darlene on lead vocals.

“Today I Met The Boy I’m Gonna Marry” by the Phillies? That’s Darlene. You get the idea.

Beginning in 1962, Darlene Love’s soulful, wailing vocals could be heard with amazing frequency.

Now, hear them live on August 25 when she performs at the Suffolk Theater in Riverhead.

Her group, the Blossoms, was the go-to back-up singers for acts as diverse as Gene Autry, Frank Sinatra, and the Beach Boys. More

recently she has performed with U2 and Bruce Springsteen.

Now a great new album with the tongue-in-cheek title Meet Darlene Love showcases America’s most famous voice like she’s never been heard before.

Much of her early success – and the reason why she recorded under so many names, was the legendary producer Phil Spector, who adored Love’s voice but skimped on paying performer royalties.

“He didn’t want me to be successful,” Love said in an interview with The Independent, noting the Blossoms performed regularly on “Shindig,” the hit TV show, but Spector wouldn’t allow them to be recorded.

Independent / Courtesy Suffolk Theater Darlene Love is coming to the East End.

“He was sticking it to me but I was sticking it to him.”

Love and the Blossoms were in such high demand that they worked seven days a week for years.

“Everyone was using us. We were paid scale. It adds up. We made a

To you it’s simply “Home.”

3420 Montauk Hwy WAINSCOTT josephhaines1@allstate.com

About 10 years ago the industry helped Love successfully sue Spector for lost royalties. “I got it all, including digital royalties.”

Steve Van Zandt, a huge admirer, brought Love into the studio, and asked some of the industry’s best songwriters to write a song or two for her.

“He asked Jimmy Webb (“By The Time I Get To Phoenix”) to write a song just for me and Jimmy said ‘Sure, what do you want?’ I said, ‘another MacArthur Park.’”

As for Spector, who is in jail after being convicted of shooting a would-be actress, Love was aware of his idiosyncrasies early on.

Love had a successful run on Broadway as well, in the musical Leader of the Pack, which profiled the life of songwriter Ellie Greenwich – another woman who

“I didn’t see the drugs but I saw the guns. He became a lunatic for guns.” Love stood up to him. “If I showed up to the studio and he was messing with guns, I would just leave. Later he’d ask if I was booked (for the session) and they would tell him I walked out. He’d call me and be very apologetic.”

Joseph Haines 631-537-3540

frequently got the shaft at the Brill Building.

The resulting song, “Who Under Heaven,” is an antiwar song perfect for the sometimes husky, always sultry voice of Love. Elvis Costello, Springsteen, Joan Jett, and Van Zandt also wrote songs, and Righteous Brother Bill Medley is among the guest vocalists. There is also the quintessential version of “River Deep, Mountain High.”

Cher, she said, “was very quiet and very pretty with that long black hair. Sonny invented her. Sonny wrote the songs.”

Ask me about the kinds of policies Allstate offers for Condominium or Cooperative owners and renters.

In those days many of the hottest artists would use The Wrecking Crew, studio musicians who played on seven straight Grammy-winning Records of The Year. The Crew was also responsible for Spector’s “Wall of Sound” and became close with Love.

“We were all friends. The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Johnny Rivers.

We were all struggling musicians.”

One friendship that endured was with Sonny Bono, Love recalled.

“He was Phil’s go-fer. Whatever Phil wanted, Sonny got. But he was smart – he stayed around long enough to learn.”

couple million dollars a year.”

Love, 74, is the undisputed star of 20 Feet from Freedom, a documentary about rock’s best female backup singers. She is bringing her nine-piece band to Suffolk Theater in Riverhead on Friday, August 25. She lives in Rockland County but prefers to tour as often as possible. “I want to keep working, it keeps my pipes where they need to be.”

Florence Fabricant Is Stirring The Pot

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

tell me?’ I can’t tell them a thing.”

Food and conversation are two of life’s magnificent gifts. Florence Fabricant -- a celebrated food and wine reporter for The New York Times, and the interviewer for the annual Guild Hall series Stirring The Pot: Conversations with Culinary Celebrities – provides insightful conversations about food and the restaurant business with world-renowned chefs and culinary personalities throughout the month of August.

Since its inception in 2011 the series has been a success with East End foodies. “Last Sunday with Jacques Pépin was sold out. There were some disappointed people,” stated Fabricant in an interview with The Independent last week.

The first year garnered some of the same results. “We had Bobby Flay and people were hanging off the rafters for him. Line out the door for getting books signed,” she remembered.

The series was proposed to Fabricant by Guild Hall, and the rest is history. “My initial feeling was ‘I wonder if they’ll get an audience for this? But let’s give it a try,’” she said.

This August the series features four acclaimed chefs. The first was Pépin, the world-renowned French chef. Andrew Zimmern, the TV personality, chef, and food writer, was the guest last Sunday. Still to come in the series are chef and TV personality Michael Symon this Sunday, and Eleven Madison Park chef Daniel Humm on August 27.

Most of the featured chefs in the series have some sort of connection to the East End. Humm opened the pop up EMP Summer House in East Hampton this summer and Symon has a house in The Hamptons. His stepson also owns Grindstone, the doughnut shop in Sag Harbor, mentioned Fabricant.

A meet and greet with the chefs takes place before each conversation.

Hamptons Dining There’s no question that the landscape of Hamptons dining has changed over the years, with the influx of pop up restaurants, seasonal locales staying open later in the season, and celebrity chefs opening year-round establishments.

The dining choices for East Enders are plentiful. But like they say, history has a tendency to repeat itself.

Florence Fabricant and Richard Fabricant at the Guild Hall Summer Gala.

of the world’s famed chefs have sat across from Fabricant on the stage at Guild Hall to discuss their lives and love of all things food. This has led to some standout moments in the series.

“One of my favorites was Anthony Bourdain. I think I asked him one question and he was off and running. He was unstoppable, he was funny, he was outrageous, and it was just amazing. Jacques Pépin I know has a great wit and he is very funny and self-deprecating -- he was every bit of that last Sunday,” Fabricant recalled.

“The one that really stands out in my mind, though, is Lidia Bastianich who told about her childhood, growing up on the wrong side of the border between Yugoslavia and Italy and her family actually escaping, and whether her father would get out, and being chased by dogs ... It was breathtaking to hear her discuss that. Aspects of their personal lives come out in these talks. I try for that. Those are the kinds of things you don’t get in the introduction to a cookbook or TV show,” she continued.

With the rise of the celebrity chef it is no wonder the series has been such a success. “Today, finding food personalities, you don’t have to do a huge amount of searching,” stated Fabricant.

A Love Of Food It’s no doubt that Fabricant is an expert on all things culinary. Her passion started at an early age. “I grew up loving food. My parents were foodies at a time when that term didn’t exist. My mother was a great cook. I cooked alongside her.

As a child, and a young woman, I grew up going to top restaurants all over the city because that’s what my parents did, and took us along. I’ve always had this passion for it,” she recalled.

Even with a passion for the culinary arts, her career as one of the nation’s top food writers was what one might call a happy accident.

“I was kind of between jobs and I seemed to be the one person in our circle that people turned to for ‘How do we make this?’ or ‘Who’s got the best tomatoes?’ or ‘Where can I buy good coleslaw?’ I was the one dispensing this advice. I suggested a food column to Everett Rattray at The East Hampton Star. That started it, and within six months I was getting assignments from The Times,” she said.

Now with droves of young writers trying to break into the field, it’s a very different feat from when she started. “Believe you me, I did not grow up wanting to be a food writer.

What was a food writer anyway?” she recalled. “They ask me ‘Well, how do I get started? What can you

As the population of the East End and year-round weekend crowds grow, “They want to eat out, and so you have more restaurants,” said Fabricant. “Now, in terms of what The Hamptons represents for restaurants -- if you cycle back 40, even 50, years The Hamptons was a magnet for great chefs. East Hampton in particular. You had Henri Soulé at The Hedges. You had Michael Field and then Tom Cowman at The Maidstone. I mean, these were great names at the time when the only thing you could buy from a farm was corn or potatoes.

You didn’t have farms growing arugula and the like. So it’s sort of like a plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose [the more things change, the more they stay the same]. You’ve kind of cycled back to an area that is attracting some top chefs,” she noted about the new resurgence of celebrated chefs on the East End. “The fact that Topping Rose was able to attract Jean-Georges, I think is fabulous,” Fabricant opined.

As for the pop ups, “The pop up phenomenon, that’s a little newer.

It’s occurring everywhere. It’s global,” she said.

One cuisine Fabricant would like to see more of in The Hamptons is Asian. “If you look at the New York restaurant scene, Asian is everywhere. I’m hoping that at some point there will be an influx of Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, and different kinds of Japanese from just sushi arriving. I think there should be a market for that.”

Guest Worthy Recipe: Chef Meredith Haaz

matchsticks

Fresh mint and cilantro leaves Black sesame seeds

8 sheets of brown rice paper Peanut Sauce

By Zachary Weiss

WHO: Chef Meredith Haaz, The Ranch Malibu INSTAGRAM: @TheRanchMalibu

Summer Rolls WHY? Summer rolls are perfect to make this time of year because they require no cooking at all! They are filling, refreshing, and make for a beautiful presentation because of

all of the colorful veggies. They can also be made ahead of time which is always great when entertaining.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 c light coconut milk

1/4 c peanut butter (or almond or sunbutter) 1 clove garlic

2 tsp maple syrup

(Makes 8 )

Juice of 1 lime

1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated, washed and dried

2 Tbsp coconut aminos

1 package kelp noodles

1 hothouse cucumber, peeled and cut into matchsticks 1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks 1 avocado, cut into wedges

1/4 head of purple cabbage, thinly shredded 1 mango, peeled and cut into

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or more if you like spicy) Water, as needed to blend Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS: Drain the kelp noodles and place in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside for 30 minutes while you prep all of the vegetables.

To make the sauce, combine all of the ingredients, except water, in the blender and puree on high until creamy. Add water if needed to get the right consistency and season to taste with salt and pepper.

To assemble the rolls, drain the kelp noodles and fill a shallow dish with warm water. Place one rice paper wrap into the shallow dish for about 20 seconds until pliable.

Carefully remove to a work surface, gently spread out the wrap, and pat with a dish towel to remove excess water. Start by layering a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the rice paper (closest to you). Add some kelp noodles on top of the lettuce and begin layering a few pieces each of carrot, cucumber, mango, and avocado. Top with a small amount of cabbage, the herbs, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Carefully roll up, like a burrito, folding in the sides. Set aside and cover with a damp towel while finishing the rest of the rolls.

Cut rolls in half and serve with the peanut sauce.

SagTown, Dobra Tea & More: Where to Get Your Caffeine Fix In Sag Harbor

offers a Bohemian tea room.

After eight months of rebuilding from a fire that devastated Sag Harbor in December 2016, SagTown reopened its doors on August 5 with a new wave of business.

“While I attended UVM in Burlington, Vermont, I spent many hours at the wonderful tea room off of Church Street called Dobra Tea and I thought it would be a good place to start,” owner of Harbor Books, Taylor Berry, stated.

“I finished the construction that Friday night at midnight and we opened Saturday morning 6 AM,” owner Shane Dyckman detailed.

“Good things always come out of bad. It’s a great feeling being so welcomed back.”

Now with two entrances, one directly on Main Street, SagTown is welcoming new customers who may have missed the former back-alley access to this local coffee shop. The new construction seamlessly flows and calls attention to Dyckman’s passion for the ocean with nautical ropes at every turn, creating a beachy vibe.

After sitting down with the partners of Dobra, Berry spent six months traveling back and forth to Burlington for immersive and intensive tea training. Construction began the last week of April with an official re-opening of the store, and tea counter, the first week of May. Harbor Books presents Dobra Tea.

delicious caffeine fix settles like a Guinness. It’s a java lover’s dream and Dyckman’s personal favorite morning jolt. Want more than a Draft Latte? Order the Black and Tan, which is cold brew half way topped with a Draft Latte.

Suddenly “on tap” has a whole new meaning.

More than coffee beans, SagTown offers a new food component, run

by Ian Lowell, including salads, gourmet eight-inch pizzas, acai bowls, and avocado toast (a menu expected to change with the seasons).

“Whether there’s a blizzard, whether Santa came or not, we’re open Christmas morning and 365 days a year at 6 AM. This place is for the community, it’s more of that than anything else. After the fire and everything I feel like they want to be part of the rebuilding,” Dyckman explained.

His dedication to the community, including roles as a volunteer firefighter and owner of Flying Point Surf School, now pans to company merchandise. Hats, drawstring bags, t-shirts, and more: customers can take SagTown with them wherever they go.

A few doors down sees a vibe of a different kind. A literati’s dream combination, Harbor Books now

Berry is excited for customers to sip and savor with seasonal specials throughout the year -- hot or chilled, bubble or regular.

Around The Fire With Chef Adam Kelinson

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

Adam Kelinson is the chef and creator of Around the Fire Catering and author of the book The Athlete’s Plate: Real Food for High Performance. Based in East Hampton, Around the Fire creates memorable, organic, open-fire events for weddings, private parties, dinners, and festivals.

Each event features a wood-fired pizza oven on wheels, complete with a nine-foot chimney. From salt-roasted fish to lobsters, local vegetables grilled on a wood rack, succotash and chowders, to handmade pizzas, Kelinson honors the way food was cooked ages ago.

Tell us a little about Around the Fire Catering.

Around the Fire brings together my culinary and nutritional training into an event-based format. I wanted to take a new approach to catering, so we focus on wood-fired cuisine and open-fire cooking, with pizza being one of our offerings.

When did you know you wanted to become a chef? Describe what influenced you.

Being a chef found me more then I found it, really. I’ve always had a love for food that traces back to helping my mother in the kitchen

at an early age. It’s the interaction between food and people, that is rooted in some place and time, that I find really adventurous.

Do you have a favorite dish from your childhood?

simple elegance of a cucumber and tomato salad with fresh herbs, flat bread off the grill with some chutney, and a whole black sea bass, porgy, or tilefish, on the back deck, goes a long way to ease the summer workload.

I really have so many food memories it’s hard to say. I guess I could say pizza. It’s why I bought my mobile wood-fired oven to make it. It makes me feel like a kid!

What are some of your favorite places to go in The Hamptons (beaches, shops, restaurants)?

What are some of your favorite summer dishes?

I generally have so little time in the summer that, for me, my favorite place is in our garden with my daughter.

We eat really seasonally and locally in our home, so the summer is full of fresh flavors and tastes. The

Recipe of the Week

by Joe Cipro

Salmon Roe & Corn Purée Cucumber Wheel With Shiitake Mushroom INGREDIENTS (serves 10 to 15)

2 English cucumbers (washed and cut into 1/4 inch rounds) 8 ears of corn (shucked & corn kernels removed from the cob) 4 sprigs of thyme 1 bay leaf

1/2 lb cream cheese

1 4 oz jar of salmon roe

1 oz package of micro bok choy

1 oz corn starch

10 oz shiitake mushroom (stems removed) Sea salt for garnish

Olive oil for garnish METHOD Begin by removing the stems from the mushrooms. Dehydrating the mushrooms will be the most time consuming task in this recipe,

47 Montauk Highway, East Hampton, NY (631) 604-5585

Leave at least 10 hours to properly dehydrate the mushroom caps.

To do this, place the caps of the mushrooms on the racks of your dehydrator and set it to medium heat for about 8 to 10 hours. If you do not have a dehydrator you can spread the mushroom caps evenly over a sheet tray and place them in an oven set to 150 degrees. Be sure to use the convection fan if it is available on your oven.

While this is happening, place the corn cobs (kernels removed and set aside) in a large stock pot and fill with enough water to cover the corn cob. Add the thyme and bay leaf and let simmer for about three hours to really infuse the corn flavor into your stock.

Featuring all your favorite dishes & items.

The best Japanese food in town!

Purée the entire mixture then strain it through a fine sieve. Return the hot corn purée to the stock pot.

Make a cornstarch slurry with 1/4 cup of water and an ounce of corn starch.

Whisk the slurry into the warm corn purée over medium low heat.

Whisk until the purée begins to thicken, then fold in the cream cheese and season to your liking with salt.

When the mixture becomes thick, transfer it to a shallow cooling dish. Cover and cool in the fridge for at least three hours. When the mushrooms are dried, grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder and set aside until you are ready to assemble.

To assemble take one of the cucumber wheels, squeeze some corn purée on top, then add the salmon roe, a bit of sea salt, a drizzle of olive oil. Finish with the micro bok choy and some shiitake powder.

Haweeli: Restaurant Week And Beyond

By Bridget LeRoy

Room, dressed in our tuxes, and people were like, ‘Word who?’” he remembered.

When you think of the guy who started the nationally top-rated PR firm WordHampton, who invented East End Restaurant Week and then developed Long Island Restaurant Week, who is the new president of the East Hampton Chamber of Commerce, and hosts the LTV show “FoodTALK,” you don’t think of him working out of a modest office in deep Springs.

And yet that’s where you can find Steve Haweeli – whose company turned 25 in February -- when he’s not zooming from Montauk to Manhattan and back, tweeting about his favorite new eateries (most of whom are his clients).

“We’re just about to have our 25th anniversary party,” he said. “We’re just getting around to it -- we’ve been busy this year.”

Similar to the popular model in other cities and towns, the restaurants offer a prix-fixe, threecourse menu all week, offering “an opportunity for diners and foodies with a limited budget to go out and try these places, and it brings in new customers during a slower period,” Haweeli said. “It’s a win-win for everyone.

Most restaurateurs believe in their product. They believe if they can just get people through the door initially, those people will return and become customers. So you have to give a little to get a little – that’s the reason for the discount dining.”

His show, “FoodTALK,” is also a natural branch from his business. “I know so many chefs and restaurant owners,” he said. “It was Elly’s idea, really.” Ellen Watson is the show’s producer and used to be married to Haweeli as well. “We also wanted to bring in local producers – farmers, brewing companies, other local food people – and keep it light and humorous and exciting.”

Guests like Claudia Fleming, Todd Jacobs, and other hallowed names from the food industry keep the audience engaged.

When he started WordHampton, he was still bartending at Nick & Toni’s. “Food has always been part of the equation,” he said. “But we have clients in real estate, nonprofits, retail.”

Hamptons Restaurant Week – now East End Restaurant Week – really came about “at the suggestion, if not insistence, of Jerry Della Femina,” Haweeli said with a smile. Haweeli had been running WordHampton for about 10 years – with a variety of clients from all sectors -- when Della Femina casually mentioned that Steve should look into starting a Hamptons restaurant week, similar to the one in New York City, during the off-season.

“I didn’t think he was serious,” Haweeli recalled. “I mean, who was going to do all the work? So I left and sort of forgot about it.

Then about a month later I got a call from Walter Struble, the maître d’ and manager at Della Femina, and he said, ‘Jerry wants to know how restaurant week is coming,’” Haweeli said, laughing.

That first year, five restaurants participated – Nick & Toni’s, Almond, Red Bar, Plaza Café, and,

of course, Della Femina.

Even with only five participants, Haweeli saw the opportunity for growth. “We said if we’re going to do this, we have to do it right.

We have to own this,” he said.

“It evolved from there.” Now it encompasses lodging options, wineries, retail discounts, and more.

Many clients from up the Island wanted to participate as well, and reached out to Haweeli, who initiated Long Island Restaurant Week in the fall of 2008. “That first year, we had over 250 restaurants participate,” he said.

Now about 30 participate on the East End, with Long Island

Independent / Eric Striffler

Restaurant Week garnering approximately 200 participating dining spots for each of its weeks.

It’s become so successful that WordHampton has branched off into a subsidiary, the Long Island Restaurant and Hospitality Group.

There is even talk of a possible week in the fall to match the springtime event. Long Island Restaurant Week is holding its second event this year from October 29 to November 5.

“It’s become a big deal,” he said.

One of his proudest accolades was receiving the Public Relations Society of America’s Big Apple award over some pretty heavyhitters. “We went to the Rainbow

As if all that weren’t enough, Haweeli is also the new president of the East Hampton Chamber of Commerce, “a great honor and responsibility.” He is also a successful artist, with paintings hanging in local galleries and collections.

Haweeli credits his reputation as the go-to PR guy for restaurants with the growth of dining options on the East End. “I was in the right place at the right time when this restaurant explosion happened,” he said. And why the growth in the first place? “Just more people living out here, working out here, who wanted better and more varied choices.”

Off Season Dining:

A Local’s Guide To South Fork Eats

By Nicole Teitler

Summer is weeks away from over, and we’re holding on to every last sunrise! But when the beach days go from bikini tops and board shorts to jackets and sweatpants, as businesses begin to fade into winter

hours, many are left pondering where to dine. Locals know better than anyone where to partake in a meal when the last tourist of the season drives west on Route 27.

Here’s a list of some East Ender favorites for a special night out.

Montauk: Harvest on Fort Pond Located at 11 S. Emery Street, Harvest serves up family style Italian cuisine by executive chef Jake Williams. More than fresh

seafood and an upscale bar/lounge area, guests will feast their eyes on beautiful sunset views over the pond. The restaurant even has its own vegetable and herb garden.

Visit www.harvestonfortpond.com or call 631-668-5574 East Hampton: East Hampton Grill Located at 99 N. Main Street, The Grill’s menu is comfort food at its finest. Rosemary buttermilk biscuits, fried chicken, ribs, prime rib, and more. There are healthier options such as salads and seafood, but is that really what you went for?

Visit www.easthamptongrill.com or call 631-329-6666.

Sag Harbor: Sen Located at 23 Main Street, Sen retains the atmosphere of Manhattan while in a quiet town.

As the only Japanese and sushi restaurant in Sag Harbor, the menu is expansive. Steamed buns (try the smoked duck), double pork ramen soups, teriyaki entrees, and an extensive list of rolls only a true sushi addict can dream up.Visit www.senrestaurant.com or call 631725-1774.

Sag Harbor: Wölffer Kitchen Located at 29 Main Street, some good things never come to an end, like the palatable influence of the Wölffer family. With a modern American cuisine, the kitchen retains a Mediterranean influence focusing on local, seasonal, and, of course, wine-friendly fare (with a wine list both local and global). As the first winery-owned restaurant in The Hamptons, the atmosphere is brightly accented. It may not be summer when you visit but you can always enjoy summer in a bottle with your eggs Benedict, avocado toast, Littleneck clams, risotto, and more.Visit www.sagharbor. wolfferkitchen.com or call 631725-0101.

Hampton Bays: Edgewater

Located at 295 E. Montauk Highway, Edgewater provides views of Shinnecock Bay as it serves Italian plates. Open for dinner seven days a week, it also hosts a Sunday brunch 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Bottomless Mimosas, Aperol spritzes, and Bloody Marys for only $20 per person, debunking the myth that the best boozy brunches are in NYC. Choices include lobster eggs Benedict, blueberry waffles, caponata focaccia, sliced pear and Gorgonzola salad, and additional tastes to indulge in. Cheers to that!Visit www. edgewaterrestaurant.com or call 631-723-2323.

East Quogue: Stone Creek Inn Located at 405 Montauk Highway, Stone Creek established itself in 1996 and has been satisfying ever since. You can order from their a-la-carte menu or indulge in a $30 two-course prix fixe menu during the evenings. Choose from light salads such as a peach, watermelon, heirloom cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese salad, entrees like the braised rabbit with Castelvatrano olives and polenta. Based on the cooking style called cuisine du marche, this local gem is guaranteed not to disappoint.Visit www. stonecreekinn.com or call 631-6536770.

Discussing Women In The Art World

Women’s role in the art scene is often understated. Staggering facts, according to the National Museum of Women in the Arts, include earning .81 cents to the dollar made by male counterparts.

Artist Toni Ross aims to change the dialogue.

On August 26 and September 23, at 11 AM at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, join Ross and fellow panelists in their series of discussions, “Women Artists: Shaping the Conversation.”

August 26 speakers include Joan Juliet Buck, Andrea Grover, Barbara Rose, Michelle Stuart, and Terrie Sultan.

September 23 speakers will be Alice Aycock, Pernilla Holmes, Bastienne Schmidt, and Almond Zigmund.

Women currently make up 51 percent of visual artists, but only three to five percent of permanent US collections. In 2012 New York Magazine published an article,

KAYAK

RENTALS • TOURS PADDLE BOARD at Mill Creek Marina

written by Jerry Saltz, titled “Where Are All the Women?” In the piece, Saltz tackles this statistic head-on with a direct aim at the Museum of Modern Art’s fourth and fifth floors. Worth the read for those with a keen interest in how unrepresented female artists are today, Saltz writes, “Museums are not tombs where people go to simply stare at objects . . .They are guardians of history, but they’re also makers of meaning and metaphors. If a museum doesn’t continually nourish itself, it will

die.”

Fast forward to March of this year and the Met reported to PBS.org that 11 percent of its pieces on display in both the contemporary and modern art sections are by female artists. The numbers will continue to rise as the conversation continues to flow.

Through awareness comes change.

The change could be LongHouse Reserve.

The series is underwritten through contributes from Alpine Capital

Give Amor Fiesta For A New School Boat

By Jessica Mackin-CIpro

The goal is to raise $10,000 for a new “school boat” for children in

Bocas del Toro, Panama. The Give Amor Fiesta, a fundraiser being held by Give & Surf at Blue Parrot

SHELTER ISLAND

in East Hampton on Thursday, August 24, plans meet that goal.

The boat will serve the children of Bahia Honda, a Ngobe Indian community. Instead of a school bus, the children of this community rely on a school boat to get to and from school. Bocas del Toro is composed of thousands of small islands where communities have been living for centuries.

Give & Surf is a non-profit organization that offers sustainable support to this area’s indigenous communities by providing educational opportunities to its youth. The foundation has built a school for the kids, furnishing education, as well as transportation.

The current school boat, however, is no longer suitable. The goal of the evening is to raise enough funds for a new boat to ensure these children continue to have access to the school.

Spacious three bedroom two bath Ranch with enclosed porch on a very quiet street close to all.

Property is cleared and has room for a pool. $875,000 call or text Jan Mackin, LSA at 631-871-1899 or jan@mweinrealty.com. Reference #S1014.

“Give & Surf is not your typical non-profit. Give & Surf is a family,” states the charity’s website. Its founder Neil Christiansen “decided to give up his medical sales career and pursue his passions for helping

others and surfing which landed him in Bocas del Toro” in 2011, according to the site. Today Give & Surf serves over 250 students per week in five local communities.

“The Ngobe-Bugle tribe is the largest indigenous group in Panama and it is estimated that over 90 percent are living in extreme poverty. Due to the remote location, they have extremely limited access to education, medical care, and other basic necessities,” the website informs.

The volunteer-based organization relies on over 200 volunteers each year to provide educational programs and community development projects. Volunteers have a positive impact on the communities, while gaining a global awareness that can have a huge impact on their own lives.

The event will take place from 7 PM to close. Guests can expect music by DJ Mr. Pockets, tasty food, drink specials, a raffle, and great people. The event is sponsored by Simple Vodka and Avion Tequila.

Old Dogs New Trips

by Vay David & John Laudando

The Berkshires…

There’s Still Time!

Independent/John Laudando At The Mount, beautiful gardens are the setting for Edith Wharton’s home and free music!

Independent/John Laudando Two members of the Good Foot Dance Company kick up their heels on Jacob Pillow’s Inside/Out stage.

We just spent five days and nights in the Berkshires on what will doubtless be one of many visits, since close friends are relocating there. We’d been once before and revisited some of the same scenes— John played golf (lots of courses around), I shopped (and found a skirt to match a favorite jacket that I bought years ago), and we again heard the Boston Symphony Orchestra rehearse at Tanglewood.

But the Tanglewood experience was different this time—while John sat on the grass and listened, I enjoyed a yoga class taught by an instructor from Kripalu Yoga and Health Center (which is very close by).

The classes, from 10:15-11:15 AM Saturdays (weather permitting) on the lawn near the Visitor Center, are at no additional charge for Saturday-morning BSO rehearsal or season ticketholders, through August 26. A great deal—$13 entry plus super relaxing and recharging yoga set to Pinchas Zukerman and the BSO rehearsing a Beethoven Violin Concerto!

There were many other things we saw that you still have time to check out before winter rolls 54

around. Plus one bit of rollicking fun that, alas, closed last week: Shakespeare & Company’s production of Cymbeline. We bought tickets for the three couples in our group before reading the synopsis. Once we read the synopsis, I feared all three husbands would end up walking out. Boy, was I wrong! It was absurdly fun, because the director had the good sense to see just how absurd the plot was.

One other thing we saw that you may or may not see yourselves— one block from the main intersection in Stockbridge, with the Red Lion Inn in sight, what appeared to be a large, shaggy dog ran across a nearby lawn. It was followed by a much larger version (Mama Bear!) and another cub....

Oh, my! Right in the middle of town! We were pretty happy about it, but in retrospect may have felt differently had we been walking down the street instead of driving.

Earlier that day, we had a very nice lunch on the patio of said Red Lion.

Some things were new and very welcome. Jacob’s Pillow, in Becket,

MA, where the free program we saw at their Inside/Out presentation—by the well-named Good Foot Dance Company—was as enjoyable as the one we saw in the Ted Shawn Theatre by Ballet Hispanico, a young, vibrant, and inventive Latino company based in Manhattan. Good Foot is from West Virginia and features an amazing combination of American dance, from Appalachian flatfooting to tap to contemporary.

Inside/Out not only invites you to come watch for free, but you are also welcome to bring food and drink and chairs. It takes place Wednesday through Saturday at 6:15 PM. Programs continue through August 27, and from what we saw, everything Jacob’s Pillow offers is impressive.

We visited two gardens: Naumkeag, where we were too late for the house tour but enjoyed the gardens and the helpful gardener we encountered; and The Mount, Edith Wharton’s home, which is offering Music After Hours, with free admission to the gardens and refreshments available, weekends through August. Both properties have houses well worth touring if you have time.

We loved the Norman Rockwell Museum. Everybody knows his work, right? Right. But the amount of history and human existence he portrayed in his myriad Saturday Evening Post covers is nothing short of amazing. Through October

29, you can catch the intriguing exhibit comparing the work of Rockwell and Andy Warhol, with many more similarities than one would imagine.

Where to eat? We had two great meals in Great Barrington. We lunched at 20 Railroad Public House, where the menu was waaaay beyond what we expected. We can’t wait to go back. And we dined at the Prairie Whale, where, much like the Public House, there were lots of fresh, locally-sourced dishes to choose from and personable and helpful servers.

We highly recommend two places to shop for food in Great Barrington. The Saturday Farmers Market is open from 9 AM to 1 PM through October and is chock full of goodies, but go early for the best selections; it’s right in the middle of town. And any day, you can find a wondrous array of delectables at Guido’s Fresh Marketplace on South Main Street—think mini-Citarella and farmstand in one.

We were lucky to have excellent guidance from the two wonderful couples we spent our visit with; had we gone on our own, we would have missed a lot. Hopefully, this column can give you some ideas to help you plan a trip!

A Eulogy For Hate

By Kitty Merrill

Some felt distraught.

Some felt disgusted.

And some felt despair.

The events in Charlottesville,

Virginia, over the weekend sparked a visceral response in people across the nation. They cried out to the end of hate that ended the life of a young woman on Saturday.

Some felt called to act.

In many communities across the country, that emotional response prompted unity rallies held to promote peace and tolerance.

Such was the case on the East End Sunday evening, as some 200 activists and advocates gathered at Mitchell Park in Greenport.

Christine McFall and Jim Shaw were of like minds Sunday. With carousel music a soundtrack, Shaw began crafting posters on the grass, as McFall looked eagerly around the park hoping for a good turnout.

“I’m just trying to do what we’re called to do,” Shaw said. “We have to do something.”

McFall reported that the national organization Women’s March Movement had put a call out for peaceful protests. “This is just in response to that.”

At the outset, those gathered

Jens-Smith Snags Indies Line

By Kitty Merrill

New York State Supreme Court Judge Joseph Santorelli this week ruled in favor of Laura Jens-Smith in the lawsuit brought against current Riverhead Town Supervisor Sean Walter’s nominating petitions for the Independence Party line on the ballot this November.

The decision means Jens-Smith, already the Democratic Party standard bearer in the town board race, will also be the candidate of the Independence Party. She is additionally endorsed by the Working Families and Women’s Equality parties.

“Judge Santorelli’s ruling was right on target. Supervisor Walter’s petitions were filled with mistakes and he should have known better,” local democratic party leader Marjorie Acevedo said Thursday.

Walter is seeking his fifth term.

Last go-round Giglio won the GOP nomination, but was bested by Walter, who ran on the Conservative line.

Walter lost a GOP primary bid against Giglio in 2015, but ultimately won the top spot on Election Day. He ran only on the Conservative line, demonstrating the importance of third party options.

The committee chair continued, “The Riverhead GOP has become complacent and disrespectful of the political process. After eight years in office, Sean Walter operates as though he can do anything he wants and get away with it.”

“We are absolutely thrilled that Laura prevailed in this matter and we are excited that she will appear on the Independence line.”

With town board running mates Michelle Lynch and Catherine Kent, Jens-Smith is part of an historic first all-female ticket running for office in Riverhead Town. They challenge incumbent Supervisor Sean Walter, Councilwoman Jodi Giglio, and newcomer Frank Beyrodt.

Na Zdrowie! Polish Town Festival This Weekend

By Kitty Merrill

The Polish Town Civic Association formed in 1975. Their goal was to preserve and promote the proud heritage of residents and business owners in the heart of Riverhead.

After a time, they needed to raise money to continue the work of beautifying Polish Town.

Polka dances, a ball, and even a parade were considered. Someone suggested a street fair – like those in Poland. And the idea was quickly embraced, according to the PTCA website.

The first Polish Town street fair was held on the third weekend in August of 1975. Approximately 20,000 people ventured out on a rainy weekend to eat Polish foods, dance in the street to Polish music, and browse the different vendors

displaying their wares. The fair quickly grew -- from 50 booths in 1975 to some 250 today.

Crowds return year after year to enjoy what has become one of the most successful fairs of its kind in the United States. Some 500 volunteers give of their time to make it run smoothly.

The festival dances into town this weekend with a street fair and carnival running on Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM. Expect vendors offering crafts, imports, arts, jewelry, specialty T-shirts, plus tons of food and drink. The Queen of Polish Town USA will be crowned and costumed entertainers will be on hand.

On Saturday night from 5 to 11 PM dance the night away during the polka festival at Polonaise

Kennedy’s Kilkare For Sale Michael Kennedy’s Kilkare Georgica oceanfront has hit the market for a tidy asking price of $55 million. The high profile lawyer died last year but in his heyday was a part of some of the most infamous cases in the country.

He represented Jean Harris, who shot and killed “Scarsdale Diet” creator Dr. Herman Tarnower and was the divorce attorney Ivanka Trump chose to represent her. John Gotti and the Black Panther Huey Newton were other clients.

Kennedy called Kilkare home and along with his wife, Eleanora, who survives, spent much of their time at the estate, which includes 300 feet of oceanfront.

The property sits on nearly three acres and is part of the ultraexclusive Georgica Association.

There are seven bedrooms and views of Georgica Pond. Sotheby’s International Realty is handling the deal.

It’s a labeling scam. I read labels proclaiming fat-free pasta and corn flakes and Melba toast. Was there ever fat in these products? No, but “fat-free” are the magic words.

So are “low-carb,” and now along comes “gluten-free.”

So I tell you, it’s a war between the food police and me.

Let me also add how much I dislike those creepy “My Diet Will Save Your Life” authors/doctors, like Dr. Robert Atkins and the late Dr. Herman Tarnower. (I must admit I was secretly happy when Tarnower’s girlfriend Jean Harris shot him for being unfaithful. She got 20 years.

Instead, I would have given her a medal and a good meal.)

The truth is, I will never give up. I will eat plenty of fat, plenty of salt, plenty of carbs, and I will drink to excess.

Let me put all this in the proper perspective for my gluten-free

“Three players on Yaz’s Bridgehampton high school team were offered major league contracts,” said Greene. “The other two turned down contracts.

One became the CEO of Dow Industries. A lot of Yaz’s old Bridgehampton pals have visited the exhibit. We’re hoping we get a nice crowd on Friday evening for Geoff Gehman’s talk.”

“Yaz was an amazing player and deserves to be remembered,” said Liam, 17, shaking his head as we stood before Yaz’s modest, pale yellow-shingled childhood home.

“But why doesn’t he remember where he comes from, Dad? Why doesn’t he show up for his old school honoring him? Why doesn’t he send some memorabilia for the exhibit? An autographed home run ball or bat or a gold glove for the Bridgehampton Museum in his beautiful hometown that gave him his start, and is honoring him?”

Said It Better, Said It Badly

August 16

2017

Insight

Horror and sadness were the operative emotions across the country last weekend in the wake of heinous acts of hate that resulted in the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

Elected officials and pundits stepped up in droves to offer statements following the Unite The Right white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Below, those who said it better, and those who said it badly.

“To the white supremacists and neo-Nazis who came to our beautiful state yesterday, there is no place for you here in Charlottesville and there is no place for you in the United States of America.” ~ Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, speaking at the Mount Zion First African Baptist Church on Sunday.

“There’s — you know, there’s two words that need to be said over and over again, domestic terrorism and white supremacy. That is exactly what we saw on display this weekend.” ~ Mike Signer, Mayor of Charlottesville, speaking to CNN.

Donald Trump “condemned this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides.” Initially stepping back from mentioning white supremacists, he added, presumably referencing racism and attempting to back away from any blame, “It’s been going on for a long time in our country.”

Not his fault, so not his problem?

Local Congressman Lee Zeldin, a frequent Trump apologist, also failed to call out the neo-Nazi group. He did, however, note, “These violent acts inspired by deep hatred are disgusting, un-American, and unwelcome in our great nation . . . We can and must do more to unite as a nation. There must be zero tolerance whatsoever for the extremes that try to tear us all apart.”

After an avalanche of excoriation over the weekend, Trump called out the hate groups on Monday … as supporters jumped ship.

Beware Gifts To the Editor,

I would suggest a sequel to Aeneid’s proverb, “Beware Greeks, even those bearing gifts.”

The East Hampton School District is being offered a vacant parcel of land for a bus depot and perhaps even a classroom facility. That this vacant parcel is in close proximity to the Town’s failed scavenger waste

facility does not mean that it is free from the leftovers of its previous use below its surface.

A former EPA colleague of mine who was familiar with the facility

has pointed out the pitfalls of the groundwater issues associated with the former land use of this parcel.

As a result I have begun my own research and find that the data Continued On Page 64.

JUST ASKING

Tara Wright It’s kind of scary and I hope and that we smooth things out diplomatically before it’s too late because we know the Koreans can do it. I hope Donald Trump does the right thing. He’s not who I voted for but he’s the only President I’ve got right now. My fingers are crossed.

What is worse is that in my doorto-door campaigning I have found at least two homeowners who are complaining of undrinkable well water down gradient from the facility.

Don Trotta I think we shouldn’t pay any attention to them because that is exactly what they’re hoping we’ll do. And if we ignore them they’ll just keep making this low-level noise.

So is the town selling the school board a parcel and a whole lot of liability?

I would suggest that somebody ask the same question that my puppy, Dozer, asks in my ad in your paper today, “What’s in your water?”

Anthonnette McKrieth I think the two leaders are a bit crazy so they go well together. But you can’t fight fire with fire. The White House must do more to change the tone to something calmer and cooler. As a super-power the world counts on us to act in a way that keeps us from global disaster.

PAUL GIARDINA, CANDIDATE

EAST HAMPTON TOWN BOARD 2017

Rally

Greg Mansley Things are so much better for the people of South Korea than North. Maybe for the President of North Korea this is a negotiating tool. If he bombs Guam we’ll wipe out North Korea. In the past we’ve given them billions in coal to settle conflicts. Generally in politics it’s all about money.

Continued From Page 56.

Eventually, she stood atop a bench to address the gathering. Born and raised in Greenport, the young woman said she felt helpless and frustrated, especially seeing that so many of the white supremacist protesters in Charlottesville were in their 20s, like her.

“It’s so easy to disagree and not speak up,” she said, noting that the 20-year-olds who did speak last weekend “said hateful things.”

“I’m here because my generation, the youth, needs to speak up,” she continued, garnering applause from the assemblage. “I hope this is the start of a conversation where I am not the only one who says ‘This is not okay.’”

“I’m not an activist, but I guess now I am,” she concluded, expressing the hope that there are more similar gatherings of unity in her hometown. She said she’d like to see Mitchel Park filled with activists once more this year.

Payne-Markel’s comments prompted others to climb up on the stone bench and speak out.

Renee Robinson, a former local schoolteacher, assured PayneMarkel, “There are a lot of people like you and that’s what’s going to change things.”

visible,” said Tom McGriel. “We need to stand up and greet them with intellect – something they are uncomfortable with.”

“This morning I lost hope,“ Sherry Thirlby confessed. “Then I heard about people gathering all over the United States and my hope is renewed . . . We stand for tolerance and love, and I do believe that is what this country stands for.”

Shaw closed out the gathering, taking his turn on the bench. He noted there was no special plan for the gathering and likened the impromptu speeches to a eulogy at a funeral. Hopefully, he said, “This is a eulogy for hate.”

because enterococci are indicators of the presence of fecal matter in water, it’s important to evaluate entero levels. They could mean the presence of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.

“These pathogens could sicken swimmers and others who use rivers and streams for recreation or

eat raw shellfish or fish,” according to the NARS website.

There are also non-fecal sources of the fecal indicator bacteria as well. While high concentrations can sicken swimmers or those who consume seafood caught in waters marked by high concentrations, enterococci are not typically considered harmful to humans, the EPA website points out.

form-fitting suit. Instead of allowing your body to breath, it traps all the gasses and liquids inside.

RICK’S SPACE

by Rick Murphy

The Shape I’m In The ’70s were all about partying and getting high.

So I pressed the issue. If someone asked me how I was feeling I’d say, “Really good. I’ve been lifting.”

The reply would be something like, “Funny – you look kind of flabby.”

The ’80s were all about disco and cocaine, wet t-shirt contests, and lite beer (at least the couple of months I remember).

In the 1990s a troubling new trend emerged: people started taking care of themselves. We’ve never been the same since.

Back in the old days if you wanted to get in shape and stay in shape you had limited options.

I tried weight lifting. I grunted and groaned, sweaty and sore, the blood rushing to my face as I forced myself to get buff. After two months you would expect people to say, ‘You look good — you’ve been lifting, huh?’

But no one ever said that to me.

In other words, all that time I’d spent -- five minutes a day, twice a week, curling those 20-pound monsters -- didn’t do a damn thing for me.

I decided to take up biking.

Unfortunately, out here in The Hamptons you can go broke fast.

First there is the French bike with 20 speeds that costs $2800. I could never master even a threespeed. The way I remember it we had enough trouble keeping the baseball cards attached to the wheel spokes with a clothes pin.

Then you need the ugly rubber,

I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as global warming.

Al Gore invented it after taking his biking outfit off one day after a long workout and noticing the gasses trapped inside, when released, put a hole in Tipper’s nasal passage, not to mention the ozone layer.

The 2000s were all about obnoxious 30-something metrosexuals who drink kale lattes and give their kids dopey names like Jade Everest and Riley Sequoia.

Everyone is getting fit. It’s rather annoying. Remember that beerswilling guy with the potbelly and the underarm hair that lived down the block?

He’s svelte nowadays.

Remember all those super skinny girls who were speed freaks with phony prescriptions and Botoxed-lips that were thicker than their arms?

They’re all toned and buff now.

I only know a few exercises. I could never do pull-ups as a boy but I tried the other day and I was amazed – I could do 15, 20, even more without breaking a sweat. Or so I thought until my buddy saw me. “Dude,” he said. “Your feet are on the ground. That’s not a pull up.

All you’re doing is putting one of your many chins over the bar.”

At this point I’ve begun inventing my own set of exercises to maximize my sveltetitudiness and carve my body into the temple it is today, even if it is a temple of solitude.

Ever hear of Pilates? I do Pontius Pilates. It’s the perfect way for repressed Catholics to get a good workout while bemoaning the fact that all the women in our lives are Blessed Virgins, not just God’s mother.

Caution: Keep the jump rope AWAY from your neck.

Remember the Stepmasters, wherein some cheeky marketing company devised a way to charge you a lot of money for a plastic step that costs 43 cents to produce?

The idea was to step on and off the thing and thus either lose weight or break an ankle, whichever came first.

Then came the Doormaster – open the door and close the door and open the door and close the door and open the door and close the door. What a life!

But nothing beats my invention, the Chairmaster, when it comes to a quality exercise routine without all the bother of actually doing anything.

Materials needed: One reclining armchair, a 64-inch Samsung HD TV, and a pillow.

Remember Zumba? It’s billed as a fun and effective workout system that allowed practitioners to dance, listen to Latin music, and get in shape without even realizing it.

Now, there is a more intense program dubbed “Dumba.” You play Ricky Ricardo music and scream “Lucy! Lucy!” over and over again until someone forcefully makes you stop. Coming soon, a DVD for couples called Dumb and Dumba.

Remember when the South Beach Diet was all the rage? Not anymore – it’s passé, thanks to me. Allow me to introduce the Canarsie Beach Diet. It is a diet that allows you to eat whatever you want as long as you chew with your mouth open and talk at the same time.

For example, get a sausage and pepper parmesan hero, bite off about a third of it, then shout, “You’se don’t know what yas missin’ – this is the best freakin’ workout I ever done!” Just watch out -law enforcement officials may consider a good imported salami a dangerous weapon.

By the way, the next hurricane will be named Gert followed by Harvey, Irma, Jose, Katia, Lee, Maria, and Nate.

Forecasters now say there is a 60 percent chance of an above-normal season (compared to the May prediction of 45 percent chance), with 14 to 19 named storms (increased from the May predicted range of 11 to 17) and two to five major hurricanes (increased from the May predicted range of two to four). A prediction for five to nine hurricanes remains unchanged from the initial May outlook.

Government Briefs

Compiled By Rick Murphy

Thiele Busy In Albany According to Politico New York, Assemblyman Fred Thiele had a productive session in Albany.

The online publication released its analysis of the 2017 legislative session this week. Thiele passed 17 bills through both houses of the New York State Legislature, more than any other member of the 22-member Long Island delegation. Thiele, the State Legislature’s only Independent,

ranked fifth statewide among the 150-member State Assembly members.

Among the 17 bills passed

by Assemblyman Thiele this session was legislation to expand oversight by the State over LIPA/ PSEG-LI rates, to give state recognition to the Montaukett Indian Nation, to provide greater financial assistance to the State’s small businesses, to assist the commercial fishing industry, to provide greater home rule control over federal funding at East

Hampton Airport, and numerous home rule bills requested by East End local governments.

In total, Thiele passed 22 bills through the State Assembly. Five bills did not pass the Senate, including the gasoline zone pricing bill and legislation to protect mobile home owners from unconscionable rents.

“The 2017 Legislative Session survey shows that it is possible to be both independent and effective in Albany. In the last five years, I have passed more than 80 bills that improve the quality of life on Long Island and New York State,” Thiele said. “Of the more than

200 laws I have passed during my tenure in the Assembly, the one I am most proud of is the Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Fund which has generated more than $1.2 billion to protect community character on the East End since 1999. My partnership with Senator Ken LaValle proves that it is possible to work across the aisle to get things done in Albany.”

Senator LaValle passed 28 bills through both houses of the State Legislature, third highest in the 63-member chamber.

LIPA Bill Introduced Thiele and LaValle recently introduced legislation which would require the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) to provide public notice of new, above-ground electric transmission line projects before a determination of significance is made under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA).

Under the legislation, LIPA would be required to provide notice to every county, town, and village in which the transmission line is to be constructed, each member of the state legislature where the facility is to be constructed, and every landowner within 500 feet of the proposed transmission line.

The notice would include the location of the site or rightof-way, a description of the transmission facility to be built thereon, the environmental assessment or environmental impact statement prepared for the action, a description of the comparative merits and detriments of each location submitted, and a statement of the reasons why the primary proposed location is best suited for the facility.

Thiele and LaValle introduced the legislation after several incidents across Long Island where LIPA and its agent, PSEG-LI, have created public controversies and unnecessary litigation by failing to include local communities and elected officials in their plans for the construction of electric transmission lines, most recently in Eastport.

the climate.

Living technologies are also changing how we think about water. They are beautiful and can be designed with ecological components that eliminate odors.

They can be integrated into the fabric of a community and be part of its educational agenda.

Eco-Machines can even be revenue for a community and produce a wide variety of valuable products including flowers, trees and ornamental fish. In terms of cost, they can compete with conventional treatment systems and usually are less expensive to operate.

Ecologically engineered technologies can also be employed to maintain water quality in coastal ponds. The photograph shows a floating “Restorer” on East Lake in Anaheim, California that is helping to protect the water body from excess pollution and noxious algae blooms.

Increasingly treated water is being recycled and used for a variety of beneficial purposes, such as landscape irrigation. One of our California facilities treats sewage to a quality high enough that it meets the state’s agricultural reuse standards. It irrigates alfalfa and fruit trees.

The other emerging place for living technologies is in growing foods.

These are systems that use the same ecological design principle although sewage is not part of the process. The setting is usually an urban environment where space is at a premium. Some of the very best aquaponics facilities growing foods in cities are Eco-Machines that produce fish, freshwater prawns, vegetables and greens.

They are becoming central to local cultivation of healthy foods for the future.

So why aren’t there more living technologies around today? The answer is multifold, but includes the fact these technologies are young and unfamiliar to most wastewater engineers. The original Eco-Machine was built just forty years ago in a small town on Cape Cod.

becoming familiar with ecological technologies, with young civil engineers beginning to study ecological engineering and moving ideas into the marketplace.

Many clients for waste treatment technologies continue to have unfounded concerns about the overall impact of their infrastructures on the community.

Long Island is an ideal place for the utilization of living technologies to treat its wastes and protect its lakes, salt ponds, and bays. It is only a matter of time before all homes will be required to treat, not just drain, their wastewater.

These communal eco treatment systems would provide an efficiency of scale, better operational reliability and a far more comprehensive water detoxification than individual septic systems.

Rather than simply removing nitrogen and ammonia, they are able to filter a wider range of

toxins including chemical and pharmaceutical waste, hormones, antibiotics, and water-borne pathogens.

Long Island is a fragile environment dependent upon rainwater and clean ground water.

Twilight Cocktail Reception Photos by Richard Lewin

On Sunday evening, a generous supporter of the Chabad of the Hamptons of East Hampton opened his home for the Chabad’s annual Twilight Cocktail Reception. Rabbis, families, members, and friends gathered for food, drink, a silent auction, and magic shows. The homeowner, who received an award for his generosity, spoke about the joy of being around uplifting and supportive people as much as possible in life.

Children’s Fair Photos by Richard Lewin

On Sunday afternoon, under the same tent as Saturday’s East Hampton Library Authors Night on Maidstone Lane, the library held its annual free children’s fair. Children’s book authors presented their works for the younger crowd. Under the big tent was excitement for everyone -- tattooing, balloon sculpture, amusement park games, magic shows, arts and crafts, and much more. Outside there was an assortment of giant inflatables for bouncing, sliding, and acting silly. The food and drinks were provided and served by the East Hampton Lions Club.

video. Under the artistic direction of Apollo executive producer Kamilah Forbes and Kennedy Center artistic director for jazz, Academy Award nominee, and MacArthur fellow Jason Moran, the piece will bring a vital work of American literature to the stage for the first time.

Beyond our programming at home in Harlem, we are also involved in a number of global festivals that expand our audiences.

This past May, we presented the Women of the World Festival, an international festival that brought women and girls from around the world together to celebrate the accomplishments of women as well as to discuss issues that affect women today. And coming up in October, we are presenting Breakin’ Convention - a global hip hop dance theater festival celebrating hip hop culture.

And, of course, in addition to producing new work and participating in global initiatives, we continue to grow our signature programs like Amateur Night, which is also 83 years old, the Salon Series, Apollo Music Café, and our newest signature program - Apollo Comedy Club, which celebrates the Apollo’s deep roots in comedy and provides a platform for up-andcoming comedians.

Our central commitment as an organization is to celebrate African American arts and culture, which we do through supporting emerging and established artists, and by serving as a cultural and civic resource for students, families, and the larger Harlem community. As such, the Apollo has always been and continues to be the nurturing

home for artists to innovate, create, and feel safe in their own self-expression. Additionally, the Apollo’s community and education programs -- ranging from Apollo Uptown Hall Series to our education career panels, to our Apollo Live Wire discussion series to our new Master Class series -- engage children, adults, schools, families, artists, and communitybased organizations to build on the Apollo’s rich history as a cultural anchor and community mentor.

Our charge has been to expand our program offerings, grow our audiences, and present works that honor the Theater’s legacy while looking at our past and present through innovative productions and programs. This season, we are presenting about 100 Apolloproduced programs, and since 2010, we have also doubled the number of people we serve through our artistic, education, and community programs.

Are there any new programs that have been introduced in the last year or two that have changed the way you operate and interact with the artists?

We have a wonderful and brilliant new executive producer in Kamilah Forbes. She came on board last fall and has already begun to implement her innovative vision with a programmatic focus on cutting-edge, politically relevant performances that reflect on and encourage discussion about current events, social issues, and cultural shifts.

Kamilah’s point of view is really in

line with our mission of bringing the core elements of the Theater’s legacy into relevant discourse with culture and society today.

Earlier this year, as part of our Salon Series, which creates a space for the artist to hone and experiment with new works, Kamilah chose to focus on Ladykillers, a musical book written by Jocelyn Bioh and directed by Kamilah using the music of Ceelo Green. We had a week-long residency of the production with award-winning Broadway actors including Condola Rashad (three-time Tony nominee), Deader Aziza (Tony winner), and music director Daryl Waters (Tony winner, Best Musical, Memphis).

What do you personally look forward to most for the artists to experience?

The Apollo is just such a magical place, and every time an artist plays the stage - whether it be their first time or their 20th time - there is a certain energy that they get when they step in front of the Apollo audience. It feels special and unique.

There is always something that happens during a show that makes it a once-in-a-lifetime experience – even if, as I said, the artist has played with us 20 times before. I remember when Paul McCartney performed a few years ago and he told the audience that performing at the Theater was his “holy grail.”

We call them “Apollo moments.”

I always love to experience those moments firsthand or to hear artists talk about their Apollo moment.

Are there any artists that have stood out to you in particular during your tenure with the Apollo? What made them special to you?

Mostly all of the artists that come to the Apollo “bring it” because they catch the “Apollo spirit.” There are so many phenomenal “Apollo

moments” that I have experienced.

I especially love seeing new artists who are on the verge of making it come to the Apollo and just blow it out of the water and really leave their mark. R&B singer Luke James came to the Theater a few years ago and I just remember everybody being in awe. He really left it all on the stage. Or special moments like when we presented D’Angelo, who actually won Amateur Night at the beginning of his career, in his comeback concert in 2015. That night was just pure magic. That was one of those Apollo moments when there was electricity in the air and everyone who walked out of the doors knew that they had just witnessed something special.

What do you think contributes to Apollo’s staying power as a world-renowned venue and charitable organization?

The brand strongly resonates to this day because it means something to people. It is not just a venue or a place. It is an experience. It is a symbol to people. A symbol of hope, of innovation, of artistic brilliance.

With fundraising efforts like the one in The Hamptons, we are able to be strategic and implement programs that speak to and embrace that legacy.

What’s in store for the next generation of Apollo’s beneficiaries?

Our rich and distinct legacy informs our work today. The Apollo continues to stand as the soul of American culture, a place that nurtures new and emerging artists, where so many of our greatest return time and time again to hone their craft, and where totally unknown amateurs can finally find their spotlight. We are committed to continuing that tradition for future generations of audiences and artists. Where in 10 years, 20 years, 50 years from now, those audiences will come to the Apollo and find the next Ella Fitzgerald or the next James Brown.

Marchers may also fill out an 8.5” x 14” oaktag sign, provided by the League, and represent one of the original marchers, if they wish. The sashes are available for a donation of $10.

Just a few of the prominent East Hampton marchers included painters Mr. and Mrs. Albert Herter (who owned The Creeks estate on Georgica Pond) and their son Everit Herter, Mrs. Woodhouse (who endowed the East Hampton Library and Guild Hall), Mr. and Mrs. John Drew (after whom Guild Hall’s theater is named), Mrs. Tyson Dominy (of the famous East Hampton clock, furniture, and windmill-making family), Miss Ruth Moran (daughter of the noted East Hampton artists Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran), and Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Gardiner Tyler (descendants of President John Tyler and his second wife, Julia Gardiner of East Hampton).

Jenkins is also the great-greatgranddaughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the co-head of the Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention in 1848, which is said to have started the women’s suffrage movement in the United States.

Also invited as a special guest is Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, chair of the NYS Women’s Suffrage 100th Anniversary Commemoration Commission, to speak about the Commission’s work across the state.

“Everyone has pitched right in and been so enthusiastic about re-creating this rally for the 100th anniversary,” said Hinkemeyer.

Pilot Mike Sweeney from Manhattan flew brothers Jacob and Jason Kaminski in from Albany.

The volunteer planned to make three more trips over the weekend, working with other organizations.

Asked why he contributes this way, Sweeney said, “Pilots love to fly, just give us a reason. To be able to help people while doing what you love, it gives you a good feeling.”

Pilot volunteer Jack Napoli lives in East Hampton. He credits Harold Levy with his interest in PALS. Levy, also an East Ender, reported founding PALS with “eight other guys.”

“We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Harold,” Minogue emphasized.

he said. This trip, he brought Teagan (12) and Tanner (16) Klingenberg from Saratoga Springs to East Hampton. Simultaneously hugging a doll and her brother, Teagan said she was looking forward to doing arts and crafts at the camp. “I like to use my hands,” she said.

Sporting a Star Wars t-shirt and a fedora, 17-year-old James Stowell also arrived from Albany. A veteran camper since 2009, he lost his twin brother to cancer. He said he enjoys “the camp spirit.”

Those who work with the kids might hear the word “spirit” and reply, “Back atcha.” Counselor Pacheco was clearly thrilled to see returning campers and meet new ones.

It’s her eleventh summer working with the Kids Need More Adventure camp. Asked how kids typically react to a week away from the hospital, a week away from worry and the focus on their illnesses, a week of interacting with other children who can relate, she allowed that while the youngsters clearly enjoy the classic childhood experience of camping, “I’m the one who gets the reward.”

Also in the 1913 rally were “Mr. and Mrs. George W. Curtis, Mrs. Henry M. Day, and Miss Day of Southampton” and “a representation of about 20 from the Sag Harbor branch of the Woman’s Political Union.”

Ms. Brock will greet marchers at the start of the rally. A snare drummer will lead the way down Main Street. East Hampton High School students will tape the march and make a short video to be shown on October 19 at the Library’s Tom Twomey Lecture Series program on the suffrage centennial.

East Hampton Historical Society executive director Jill Malusky with curator Richard Barons, and East Hampton Star editor David Rattray will speak to marchers as they pass by their Main Street offices.

The re-creation will end with a program and refreshments at the library, taped by LTV. Marchers will hear from East Hampton Village Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr. and village historian Hugh King.

HLA Crushes It In Daytona

Hampton Lifeguard Association brought 82 athletes (junior lifeguards and certified lifeguards) to Daytona Beach, Florida, last week for the 2017 National Lifeguard Championship hosted by the United States Lifesaving Association.

HLA was the group with the second most number of competitors in the tournament (Monmouth County had 84 competitors).

Over 49 lifeguard association groups from all over the country were represented at this annual tournament.

The tournament kicked off on August 9 with the junior guard competition. The Junior Guards have four age groups - C group with 9, 10, and 11 year olds, B group with 12 and 13 year olds, A group with 14 and 15 year olds, and the U19 group which is 16, 17, 18, and 19 year olds.

In the junior guard competition the competitors earned 87 awards, top 10 finishes, with the top event, Beach Flags, earning the most awards (21) for HLA.

In the junior competition HLA had six national championship titles earned (1st place finishes) - Val Ferraro U19 age group Beach Flags, Lila Ferraro 14 & 15 year

olds Beach Flags, William Schlegel 12 & 13 year olds Beach Flags, Luke Castillo 9, 10, & 11 year olds Distance Beach Run, Chasen Dubs U19 Ironguard, and Chasen Dubs U19 Surf Ski. The competition continued Thursday through Saturday with the certified lifeguards competing in several competitions in the open division and also in age groups starting at 30 years old up to 70plus years old.

The open division is the most competitive division with some of the younger guards (19 and under) competing in both the junior competition and the open division.

in Men’s board race, Chasen Dubs took 5th in men’s Ironman and 4th in Ironguard and Ryan Paroz, and

Griffin Taylor took 4th in Board Rescue Race.

The lifeguard competition scores points for each team based on how they place. As a team HLA placed 5th overall, which includes open division and all age groups and 3rd for open division.

Notable finishes in the lifeguard competition include: Amanda Calabrese won the national title for Beach Flags for the third year in a row, Amanda Calabrese placed second in the Paddle Board race, Paige Duca placed first (national champion) for 2k Beach Run, Amanda Calabrese and Maggie Purcell took first place in the Board Rescue Race, Ryan Paroz took first 79

Plenty of porgies to go around.

Jessups, Rogers Rock are great places to start. Clam chum and clam baits. A few kingfish and blowfish mixed in as well. Plenty of snappers to go around.

by Scott Jeffrey Shinnecock/Inlet/ Ocean The fluke are in the bay, but you’ll

have to get past the sea robins if you want them. It is almost impossible to find the fluke due to the robins. The better fluke have been taken in the inlet by the guys drifting spots for bass.

Shorebound

The fluke bite in the ocean is very tough, but they can be found with a lot of moving around. All the usual baits are working including live snappers. Out on the reef guys are still getting their limits on seabass again with a lot of work weeding out the shorts but plenty of action.

Snappers are in most creeks and hanging around the docks. Looking for bass, try working to bunker schools just outside the inlet.

The Shinnecock Canal is holding snappers, porgies, seabass, triggers, kingfish, and plenty of robins, and maybe even a fluke. Best to check the lock schedule and fish when it’s closed. The Shinnecock Inlet has seen quite a few keeper size fluke hit the jetty on the west side.

Best with live baits like killies or snappers.

The inlet area has had a few trigger fish and porgies too. Striped bass have been best on the night and early morning tides. Not a lot of fish, but a few. Cocktail blues make an appearance in the afternoons.

Big news of the week is the albies are here. They are moving in and out of the inlet with no real pattern.

Offshore The shark bite is about as close as you want now. The massive schools of bunker in anywhere from 20’to 60’ of water. Threshers, Makos, and brown shark have been spotted, caught and landed by many. No need to run far but if you must, 110’ of water is a good place to start.

Schools of Spanish mackerel are mixed with the bunker. Still hear reports of bluefin in the Coimbra area as well as out near the Butterfish Hole. Mahi are close, too. Just hit the pots or floating debris. The canyons have been hit or miss for the yellowfin.

Yoga In The Fields For the fitness inclined, few things beat the feel of a refreshing workout to start the day. But exercising in the middle of a beautiful, outdoor setting on a crisp morning or during sunset?

Well, that’s motivation for anyone.

Here are three yoga classes amid an East End landscape to add to your summer bucket list before the season is over.

WÖlffer Estate: Yoga in the Vines Aside from a killer rosé-all-day mentality, WÖlffer Estate’s notso-secret Yoga in the Vines is held every Wednesday through Sunday, morning and evening sessions, through October 1. Morning sessions take place at the Wine Stand on Montauk Highway and evening classes at the gazebo behind the main estate.

With several instructors and class times to choose from, this makes for an ideal outdoor yoga session throughout the week. Go with a mat in hand, leave craving Summer in a Bottle!

The Vineyard is located at 139 Sagg Road in Sagaponack, reachable at 631-537-5106.

The Wine Stand is located at 3312 Montauk Highway in Sagaponack, reachable at 631-537-4771.

Diliberto Winery: Vinyasa in the Vines On Saturday, August 26, Diliberto Winery will host a morning session of Vinyasa in the Vines. Lead by Sheryl Oleksak from 10:15 to 11:30 AM, this yoga session is followed by tastings of three wines produced by the winery. Three cheers to that!

Diliberto Winery is located at 250 Manor Lane in Jamesport. Call Sheryl at 516-297-8455.

Sang Lee Farms: Yoga on the Farm If you want to skip the wines and vines, head to Sang Lee Farms on Sunday for a walking meditation followed by a grounded slow flow. Instructor Rebekah Smith will guide you through the herbs, berries, and fields of Sang Lee from 8 to 9:30 AM in a relaxing morning yoga session followed by a 10-ounce certified organic fresh vegetable juice directly from the Sang Lee kitchen. Going green never felt so good.

Sang Lee Farms is located on 25180 County Road 48 in Peconic.

Call 631-734-7001.

nothing but upside to the boat’s master and thus to the crew who are fully the master’s responsibility.

Charting The ideal float plan involves the detailed analysis of getting to your destination and returning safely. The float plan provides the

CONSTRUCTION • SERVICE • RETAIL

opportunity for the skipper to sit with his or her charts, in the calm of a kitchen, den, or study, and literally walk through the passage with parallel rulers and dividers.

What is the goal of such detailed analysis? The net effect is to create your own Pilot Guide for the entire passage and to be able to assign predicted times to each leg.

Deviation from predicted times is an early warning to the skipper that something is up – working against (or with!) a current, cross winds creating additional work effort for the engines to hold course, etc. All of this translates into fuel consumption “deltas” which ultimately leads directly to SOLAS issues.

If you have made an error in the development of your pilot guide, the rest of the guide is likely to be suspect and you’ll have to do what every skipper has done for centuries untold – improvise carefully.

If the chart is generally consistent but winds and tides have done the inevitable, then the overall pilot guide is likely to still have integrity but, once again, you’ll have to do what every skipper has done for centuries untold – improvise carefully.

Weather With respect to predicting the weather, I use the website www. weather.com and the reason I do is because I can get weather predictions by the hour. If the chance of precipitation for a particular day is 50 percent, but it is 10 percent in the morning and 90 percent in the afternoon, I want to know that.

Time and Tides.) Knowing the tides at an inlet while spending the next six hours transiting from cove to bay “on the inside” could require major mental gymnastics in order to keep pace with the tide as it works its way through that inlet and across the bays and into the coves. Why do that if the internet can do it for you?

Local Notice To Mariners As of April 1, 2004, the United States Coast Guard stopped mailing the Local Notice to Mariners. Instead, it is accessible on the Internet – and they will even email you a link to the updates each week as they “go to press.”

The electronic versions of LNM appear on the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center’s website at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov.

Why go out upon the briny deep with less information than is available to you? What’s the upside in that?

Go on their website, click around until you find the area for you to put your email address in – and from then on get, direct from the United States Coast Guard forevermore, the latest they know about what is happening “out there.” For free.

Battening Down the Hatches So, in summary, a complete Float Plan – left with someone responsible and capable of checking on you over the course of your passageway – encompasses all of these components.

And a prayer:

Click on “More Details” and see how the hourly details add to the weather analysis.

Dear Lord,

Tides

Protect me.

Nothing is more likely to surprise you and more potentially perilous to happen than running aground – and understanding the tide is all about that. There are several good services to use but there is something very subtle about tide analysis that no chart gives you.

Tides change at different rates at different places. (Watch for a column here soon where we’ll talk

Nets’ Basketball Camp

By Elizabeth Vespe

Southampton Youth Services Inc. is proud to present the Brooklyn Nets’ basketball camp, powered

by DRIBBL for the fourth summer in a row. Kids in grades pre-K through 8 are invited to a weeklong session of excellent instruction, evenly matched games, and all-around fun featuring the talented DRIBBL coaches and appearances by Brooklyn Nets players.

Join Rondae Hollis-Jefferson of the Brooklyn Nets and Nets Coach Atkinson for this interactive camp. DRIBBL hits The Hamptons on Monday for a week of DRIBBL at the Beach camp. Other camp sessions run from August 28 through September 1 and will be held at the town recreation center on 1370A Majors Path in Southampton.

Local Baseball Legend

By Elizabeth Vespe

The Bridgehampton Museum will hold a lively lecture titled, “Yazzamatazz: Carl Yastrzemski as Folk Hero, Role Model, and Cultural Icon,” on Friday at 5 PM. Geoff Gehman will speak about Yastrzemski, native to Southampton and former left fielder and first baseman of the Boston Red Sox.

Gehman will discuss Yaz’s baseball career and post-play life, his famous fans, his appearances on popular shows, and his influence on major leaguers. Fifty years after his legendary Triple Crown season, attendees will have the chance to reminisce about a time when the South Fork was full of Yaz fever.

Geoff Gehman is a journalist, book author, ex-pitcher, and a former resident of Wainscott.

In his memoir The Kingdom of the Kid: Growing Up in the Long-Lost Hamptons, he writes about becoming a Carl Yastrzemski fan in the summer of 1967, when Yaz led the Boston Red Sox from Davy Jones’s Locker to the World Series. The Bridgehampton Museum is located on 2539A Montauk Highway.

Admission is free to all.
