FISHING MONTAUK WITH CAPTAIN SKIP
Striped Bass are running scared these days! All along the east coast the "Tax Man" (sharks) are taking chunks out of angler's catches! Thankfully, they're not tealing ish around Montauk yet, but since the water warmed up and the Bass have moved east to Southwest Ledge, it's apparent the sharks have found them there, and are having a ield day! It has actually gotten so bad that the Bass have led the area for deeper water and the rest headed east.
Sharks really have no predators feeding on them, with the exception of other sharks and Orca's (which eat the shark's liver for what seems to be medicinal purposes). National Marine Fisheries Service shut down commercial ishing for sharks a number of years ago. So now after many years of being left to feed and breed unmolested, we now have a serious issue. Hammerheads, Bull sharks, and Sandbar shark numbers have exploded and anglers are not happy!
The Mako sharks are still under moratorium, but due to all the Tuna action and the tons of bait that has been offshore, the shark action up here is off the charts!
School Blue in Tuna have been providing great action for anglers for two months now. Just west of and a touch offshore of CIA, has been the hotspot. These

schoolies average 25 40 lbs. and are great fun on light tackle. Whales, Porpoise, Birds, all great stuff that makes for a great day!
Back inshore the Fluke ishing has picked up a little and even at 19.5 inches keepers are coming over the rail inally!! South side has come alive with action, granted you have to weed through the shorts, but you can't beat the action! Thrown in the mix is some nice sized Black Sea Bass. The Black Sea Bass are just about anywhere there's rocks and structure for them to hide in. The trick is to ind spots that haven't been pounded by other boats already, and you will catch some nice ish!
We got a nice stretch of weather headed our way, so get out there and enjoy this great season we're having!
As always, be safe and be courteous to your fellow anglers.

Observed the first Monday in Sep tember, Labor Day is an annual celebra tion o the social and economic achievements o American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed or a ederal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well being.
Early Adopters
Be ore it was a ederal holiday, Labor Day was recognized by labor activists and individual states. A ter municipal ordi nances were passed in 1885 and 1886, a movement developed to secure state legislation. New York was the first state to introduce a bill, but Oregon was the first to pass a law recognizing Labor Day, on
February 21, 1887. During 1887, our more states – Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York – passed laws creating a Labor Day holiday. By the end o the decade Connecticut, Nebraska and Pennsylvania had ollowed suit. By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, Continued on Page 49

Surfing Montauk with Debra Rose
Andrew Blauschild
“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” Thomas Campbell
The surfers of Montauk have earned recognition on the world stage for cultivating talent, rivaling a reputa tion for being a tight knit community. The paradox of being territorial of the waves yet supportive of one an other was unmistakable this August with the recent and sudden passing of Montauk surfer Andrew Blauschild.
Drew experienced cardiac arrest after an evening session at Northbar this August, and his abrupt passing is a reminder of how leeting life can be as well as how members of the surf community impact one another. Those that knew Drew from the water were shocked and devastated, surfers that did not know him well regularly saw him in the line up or shooting photos on the beach. “I have surfed with him since I learned how to surf al most thirty years ago, he was someone you would see catching wave after wave when it was tiny or a hurri cane,” according to a year round surfer.
“He was salty and intuitive, had a great laugh and was one of those Montauk surf characters that I am going to miss,” noted by a summer surfer at Ditch. A ixture on the beach and a year round resident (outside of global travel), Drew’s last day was doing what he adored the most, sur ing. “He was sur ing a break he loved at sun set, with a crowd of his friends, the day of a full moon, what surfer wants anything more as their last session,” a local instructor wondered.
An accomplished photographer, he documented the culture of sur ing locally and around the planet. A Bronx and Brooklyn native, his work and legacy lives on through images he shot through his lens, capturing why we all love to surf and the aura around it. Drew’s work has been featured in The New York Observer, The New York Times, and many other outlets, capturing landscapes and the art of sur ing only the way a surfer can by highlighting his connection to the ocean. “I was featured in Surfer’s Journal, I’m good,” Drew once shared with a friend in the water.
“The pro surfers Drew used to photograph loved shooting with him because he could capture the essence of the session not just a surfer on the wave. Not many photographers can create an actual image that conveys the energy of the moment,” Greg recalled, an other Montauk surfer and good friend to Drew.
Drew’s passing hits the Montauk sur ing community hard as a reminder of being a part of something bigger than we are, that those in the line up are part of the joy we ind in sur ing, and how important it is to never take a day (or a session) for granted. Live on in peace Drew, your smile, en ergy and simply your presence will be greatly missed.

BIRD ON THE ROOF
by Sue Giustino
‘Elevated All Day Delights’
Long time Montauk establishment, the Bird on the Roof has been impressing visitors and locals since the early 70’s. In 2022, it was bought and renovated by Montauk local Leo Daunt, and has since become a pop ular eatery and gathering place. Offering varied menus sure to please all, the meals are fresh, clean and per fectly satisfying. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are of fered daily in a casual, come as you are atmosphere.
They have a lovely array of coffee and specialty lattes to start your day, as well as breakfast items rang ing from eggs many ways, breakfast sandwiches and pancakes, to brunchy/lunch choices including an intri guing grain bowl, smash burger, summer salad and crab cake.
We visited The Bird on a beautiful Friday morning to enjoy a late breakfast. Just inside the entrance, there’s an intimate bar with several tables and stylish tiled high tops. This room is perfect for a meal, a drink at the bar and for enjoying the live entertainment they have many nights. A bit further in, is the simply decorated dining area calm ing and aesthetically pleasing allowing each lovely dish that emerges from the kitchen to take center stage. Al fresco dining is available on the backyard patio or in front where you can watch the happenings on the street.
Sitting in the main dining area, we enjoy the casual atmosphere and chatter of visitors enjoying an early meal to gether. After sipping some tea and coffee, we decided it was time to’ brunch it up’ with a few tasty Bloody Mary’s and a Spicy Bird created with hi biscus tequila, jalapeno, and lime.
The Soft Scramble Toast consists of a piece of a thick white toast topped with per fectly luffy soft scrambled eggs and a creamy young burrata with a drizzle of basil oil all plated with a fanning of fresh avocado slices. Also quite tasty, is the Eggs Any Style offering your choice of made to order fried or scrambled eggs accompanied by gently spiced home fries and a choice of rye or white toast, and avocado, bacon or sau sage.
Straying from the more traditional egg breakfast, the third dish Shakshuka is quite unique and bursting with la vor. Shakshuka is a Maghrebi dish that is popular throughout North Africa and the Middle East. Chef Marcos expertly prepares it with stewed peppers

HOME DESIGNERS’ BOOK SIGNING
by Debbie Tuma
Five top designers from around the country, were signing their new coffee table books, and mingling with guests at a lovely reception at Mecox Gardens in Water Mill, in August. Susan Kaufman, whose book is titled, “Walk with Me: Hamptons,” wrote her book as a photo tour through some of the most picturesque homes, streets, nature scenes, and hidden treasures throughout the Hamptons. Cathy Purple Cherry, of “Purple Cherry Architects & Interiors,” was showing her new book, “The Design of a Country Estate,” the story of a fabulous, newly built, coastal country estate. She also has a design store headquartered in Annapo lis, Maryland.
When asked how she got this unusual name, and if it helps her stand out in her ield, she laughed, “My name is Cathy Purple, and I happened to marry a man
whose last name was Cherry. It’s kind of a conversation starter, and yes it has helped me stand out.”
Philip Gorrivan’s new book, “Authentic Interiors: Rooms That Tell Stories,” has pages of uniquely de signed homes in Manhattan, where he is based, and elsewhere. He is known as a master for creating ambi ance with surprising simple gestures, as he conjures up stories. Danielle Rollins of West Palm Beach was showing her large coffee table book, with her impec cable taste, and with lovely photos of herself in the book. Eric Groft owner of Oehme, van Sweden & Asso ciates Landscape Architects, wrote his book called “Beyond Bold: Inspiration/Collaboration/Evolution.” He is known for his diversity in residential, commer cial, and residential work.
The afternoon event, which included wine and a lovely spread of hors d’oeuvres, was held inside this location at 1040 Montauk Highway in Water Mill. This upscale store combines a sophisticated yet coastal in spired look for casual, elegant living. It features furni
ture collections of iron, rattan, rope and teak mer chandise, along with custom upholstery and unique mirror designs. The Mecox Collection is exclusive to their 7 stores located around the country in Houston, Dallas, Palm Beach, Los Angeles, Napa, Manhattan and the Hamptons.
The Mecox store originally opened in South ampton in 1996, on a three acre property with ex tensive gardens throughout .These expansive grounds and charming rural architecture helped create the Mecox philosophy of taking inspiration from the interior and exterior. Attracting many Hamptons and New York City based interior de signers, their original location evolved over the years, and in the Fall of 2022, Mecox Southampton relocated to Water Mill. They still have lovely grounds for their outdoor furniture and garden or naments.
At the book signing event, Mecox Gardens owner Mac Hoak and manager Kristina Gale greeted guests. They welcome people to come visit their store and check out these exciting new design books.
“We wanted to introduce the authors of these beautiful designer books to our clientelle,” said Hoak. “They are for sale in our store, and it in nicely with our décor. They will be inspi rational to our clients, who are always looking for new decorat ing ideas, and new ways to improve their homes.”

Good day and welcome to this month’s edition of Montauk Fire Department Corner. I hope everyone has been enjoying a fun and safe summer. As we are getting close to early September, I would just like to remind ev eryone that schools will be opening soon, so please keep an eye out for students walking to school and school buses that are taking on or dis charging students.
On Saturday, July 27th members of the Montauk Fire Department were honored to par ticipate in the East Hampton Fire Department’s 125th Anniversary parade in the Village of East

Hampton. It was a beautiful day and over twenty ire de partments participated in mak ing it a wonderful event. On behalf of the Chiefs, men and women of the Montauk Fire Department, I want to congrat ulate our brothers and sisters of the East Hampton Fire De partment on their 125 years of dedicated volunteer service to the community of East Hamp ton.
As I mentioned before, school’s getting ready to open and that also means that we should start thinking about being prepared for hurricanes, Nor’easters, and general coas tal looding emergencies. As we all know, preparation is the key for any emergency so I would like to offer a suggestion on basics items you should consider having on hand: Money, prescription drugs, a watertight container to carry essentials, a manual can opener, non perishable foods, infant needs, ready to eat foods, vitamins, staples (salt/sugar), plenty of water, instant tea/coffee, irst aid kit, sunscreen, plastic garbage bags, disinfectant, house hold chlorine bleach, eating utensils, lashlight(s), utility knife, matches, aluminum foil, paper towels, portable camp stove/sterno, entertainment (books, games, etc.)
As you can see, this is just a basic lists of items rec ommended to have on hand. There is so much more infor mation regarding this topic that just can’t it in this article. If you are interested in getting more information, please call (631) 668 5695, and a representative of the Montauk Fire Department will ill you in on all you need to know re garding emergency preparedness.
Lastly, this time of year is fund raising season for the Montauk Fire Department. If you are a resident or business owner, you may have already received our fund raising letter in the mail and may have donated already. For those who have, thank you very much. If you haven’t donated yet, please consider a donation to the Montauk Fire Depart ment in 2024, any amount will help and be greatly appre ciated.
That’s it for this month’s edition of the Montauk Fire Department Corner. Have a safe Labor Day holiday week end. See you next month.

Dear EarthTalk: What are some innova tive ways companies are accessing renew able energy nowadays?
~ Peter V., Milwaukee, WI
With energy production accounting for upwards of 75 percent of global green house emissions and more and more com panies looking to reduce their carbon footprints, it makes sense that a whole new generation of start ups would spring to life to help put business customers to gether with green energy producers.
One of these innovative green go be tweens is Copenhagen based Reel Energy. Businesses looking to slash their carbon footprints can call upon Reel to provide them with green power at ixed, low prices for ive to 10 years. Reel, in turn, uses this funding to contract with solar and wind developers to break ground on new renewable energy projects. Reel has expanded heavily throughout Europe in recent years but you can expect to see their deals pop up increasingly in the U.S. and elsewhere moving forward.
Another take on B2B green energy sourcing comes by way of Seattle based Drift Energy, which helps companies buy 100 percent green power and thus offset their other carbon emissions. Customers sign on the dotted line to purchase all of the energy they will need for one to ive years, and Drift gets to work supplying them with green power culled from local wind farms, solar arrays and hydroelectric dams. By helping take the guesswork out of sourcing green power, Drift is able to
help other businesses do the right thing and derive emissions reduction and PR bene its in the process.
Meanwhile, Clearloop out of Nashville, Tennessee takes a similar ap proach by syncing up companies looking to reduce their carbon footprints with new sources of green energy. But Clear loop’s version emphasizes environmental justice, using customer funding to break ground on solar arrays in traditionally dis enfranchised and overly polluted commu nities across the American South. To date, Clearloop has funded solar projects in Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi.
Yet another green energy match maker model is LevelTen Energy, also from Seattle, which runs the world’s largest platform connecting green power buyers and sellers. LevelTen’s market place allows buyers to compare different options, receive custom offers and reduce risks through automated analytics for
market price offers. By lowering the risk of investment and widening access to green energy, LevelTen streamlines the process of purchasing renewable energy.
To date, LevelTen’s transaction infrastruc ture has helped broker some 4,500 re newables based power purchase agreements (PPAs) funding more than 1,800 wind, solar and other renewable power projects in 28 different countries.
Still another way for companies to procure green power at ixed pricing and reduce their carbon footprints is by going in on group buys of Renewable Energy Certi icates (RECs) through Evergreen Re newables. RECs represent proof that one megawatt hour of electricity was gener ated from a renewable energy source. A recent deal orchestrated by Evergreen and transacted on its marketplace saw eight brands go in together on the purchase of enough RECs to fund the repowering of a 55 megawatt wind farm in Texas that was otherwise slated for demolition. These types of deals enable even smaller compa nies to participate in large group buys of RECs, further expanding access to green energy.

Dear EarthTalk: How is the ight to pre vent wildlife traf icking going?
~ L.K., Chicago, IL
Wildlife traf icking, de ined as the il legal trapping and/or poaching of wildlife for consumer trade, is second only to habi tat loss as one of the largest modern
threats to wildlife. The criminal practice overwhelmingly targets elephants, large reptiles and coral, and has resulted in the extinction of rare species of plants, rep tiles and ish. High extinction risk is com mon among species targeted by wildlife crime; of the 4,000 species worldwide that are currently poached for traf icking, 40 percent are already listed as threatened or near threatened.
The trade also harms people, as many foreign animals can spread dangerous dis eases to previously unexposed people and livestock. Impoverished peoples in the poached animals’ countries of origin are especially harmed by the industry, as the pro iting criminal organizations often blackmail people with limited inancial op tions into doing dangerous work for them.
Despite the harm wildlife traf icking has caused to wildlife and people, the in dustry has continued to expand over the last century, and now has an estimated an nual value of roughly $23 billion. Thanks to practices such as trophy hunting, hoarding and exotic tourism gaining mo mentum over the years, the demand for poached wildlife goods has only in creased.
A unique partnership brokered by Ever.green between 8 companies and a wind developer is enabling an aging 55 MW wind farm in Texas to escape demolition and live another life.
The pangolin is the most heavily traf icked animal in the world.
SOUTHAMPTON TOWN DEMOCRATIC SUMMER FUNDRAISER
by Debbie Tuma
On a gorgeous sunny summer day, the Southampton Town Democratic Party held a fundraiser at the Water Mill home of Donna and Elliott Matlin. Sev eral hundred people congregated on the big lawn, around a beautiful pool and outside deck. They enjoyed wonderful seafood and an open bar, while getting to meet and mingle with the slate of can didates for the upcoming election.
Gordon Herr, Southampton Town Democratic Chairman, introduced all the candidates running for various po sitions, and each spoke about their plans and goals. John Avlon, a longtime CNN journalist and author of Sag Har bor, is running against Nick LaLota for New York’s First Congressional District. Former Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker of Mount Sinai, is running for NYS Senate, against Anthony Palumbo. Tommy John Schiavoni, a Southampton Town Councilman and former teacher, of Sag Harbor, is running for the seat of long time NYS Assemblyman Fred Thiele of Sag Harbor. Thiele, who was also at this event, is retiring after serv ing for 29 years in the NY State As sembly, and is planning to move to North Carolina.
During this party, both Gordon Herr and Suffolk County Democratic Party Chairman Rich Schaffer talked about Thiele’s many accomplishments in his long career. During his 13 terms in the
New York Assembly, his created the Pe conic Bay Community Preservation Act, for land preservation and water quality protection. He has also done farmland preservation, and state acquisition of critical environmental parcels, plus worked on transportation issues, as es tablishing the South Fork Commuter Connection. Also, Thiele has done many affordable housing projects.
As a way to thank Thiele for all he has done for the East End, on behalf of the Southampton Town Democratic Party, Gordon Herr gave him two beau tiful paintings of Thiele’s favorite place, Long Beach in Sag Harbor, where he walks every day. They were created by Sag Harbor artist and gallery owner, Julie Keyes. Thiele thanked all his col leagues, and said he will always be part of the East End, and still come back when he moves.
Other Southampton Town Demo cratic leaders were Suffolk County Legislator Ann Welker, Southampton Town Supervisor Marie Moore, and Southampton Town Councilman Bill Pell.
Donna Rubin Matlin welcomed ev eryone to her beautiful home, and said she was happy to host this important event for the town committee. Donna is also a producer at LTV Studios in East Hampton, along with LTV’s Creative Di rector Josh Gladstone.

Kathleen Fee at the Surf Lodge
photos by Lorraine Salvato
In a night that will be remembered, Kath leen Fee lit up The Surf Lodge with an electrifying performance to celebrate the release of her highly anticipated EP, Glitter Gold. The atmosphere was charged with excitement as the venue reached full capacity, buzzing with energy and anticipation. The night was highlighted by surprise rock legends Don Felder of The Eagles and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who joined Kathleen on stage, and thrilled the crowd with their iconic musicianship.
The event showcased not only Kathleen’s extraordinary talent but also the all star band sup porting her. The lineup featured Chris Autry (Big & Rich, Travis Tritt), Justin Weaver (The Chicks, Wy nonna Judd), Aaron Currie (Lee Greenwood, Chris Cagle), Chris Kimmerer, Elisha Hoffman (The Loving Mary Band, Steven Tyler’s country band), with wife Rebecca Lynn Howard, co founder of Pumphouse Records with Lee Brice, and songwriter Rob Hatch.
Rebecca Lynn Howard is a two time Grammy winner who has written for Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood and recorded with Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, and Patty Loveless, along with PJ Cardinal
Adding to the magic of the evening, dur ing the performance of the title track, “Glitter Gold,” the venue was shimmering gold, and confetti began to rain down from the sky, en veloping the audience and stage in a sparkling cascade. The golden shower added a visual metaphor to Kathleen’s lyrics, perfectly “It’s Raining Glitter Gold”, capturing the song’s theme of inding light and hope amidst life’s challenges.
Kathleen’s Glitter Gold EP is a re lection of her journey of self discovery and the pursuit of authentic ity in a world full of challenges. The showcase in Mon tauk was a testament to Kathleen's rising career in the music industry.

ESCAPE FROM PARADISE
with Ingrid Lemme Chalut
Stonehenge: A Dream Realized
I adjusted the brim of my warm hat, peering out the coach win dow as the English countryside whizzed by in a green blur. The early May air was crisp and chilly, but the sun broke through the clouds in its and starts, casting dappled shadows over the landscape. Beside me, my husband gave my hand a gentle squeeze. "You excited?" he asked, his voice low and soothing. "Oh, you know it!" I replied, barely containing my bubbly enthusiasm. "I've dreamed of seeing Stonehenge with my own eyes for most of my life!”
Our ship, the grand MS Rotterdam, had docked that morning in Portland, Wey mouth, England. Marcus and I, along with a handful of fellow passengers, had eagerly signed up for the daylong excursion to the ancient wonder. Now, as our bus wound through the Wiltshire countryside, I could hardly sit still. As we turned off the main road, a hush fell over the coach. There, rising from the earth like giants, stood the
stones of legend. Our guide, a nice lady, led us from the bus. "And here we are, folks! One of the world's great mysteries, right before your eyes. Stonehenge, in all its glory! Wander the grounds as you please," she advised, "But, please don’t go off the beaten path. And be back on the bus in 2 hours!"
We wandered the grounds in a daze, drinking in the sight of the towering mono liths. I felt the weight of centuries beneath my feet, the thrum of the past humming through the air. The sky was almost clear and blue, which is somehow unusual for this part of the world, especially in early May. Our Guide’s voice drifted over us, spout ing facts and igures. "Stonehenge as we see it today is the result of several construction phases," she recalled, "beginning around 3000 BC with the outer earthwork. The iconic stones, what folks call the Sarsens, came later, around 2500 BC."
My mind whirled with questions. Who were the people that built this marvel? What was its purpose, its meaning? The stones stood mute, holding their secrets close. Silence fell between us, as comfortable as an old shoe. We stood there, two souls united, bathed in the presence of the ancient stones. I felt the drone of the past grow stronger, a vibration that seemed to match the beat of my own heart. At that moment, I understood. Stonehenge wasn't just a collection of rocks. It was a tes tament to the enduring spirit of those who came before,

a bridge spanning the gulf of time. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, but they were happy tears, full of wonder and awe. As the bus pulled away, I settled into my seat, a sense of contentment washing over me. I knew this was a day I'd carry with me forever, the image of those towering stones burned bright in my mind's eye, a testament to the enduring power of human inge nuity and creativity.
Stonehenge is a massive stone monument located on Salisbury Plain in southern England. It was built roughly 4,000 to 5,000 years ago and was constructed in several phases from around 3100 BC to 1600 BC, with the circle of large Sarsen stones placed between 2500 and 2000 BC. The site was already special to Mesolithic and Neolithic people, with early Mesolithic hunter gatherers digging pits there about 8,000–7,000 years ago. The story of the circle at Stonehenge itself begins about 5,000 years ago, when the monument builders marked out sacred ground by digging a ditch and throwing up an earth bank. 4,000 years ago, Stone henge was made up of an outer circle of 30 standing stones called ‘Sarsens', which surrounded ive huge stone arches in a horseshoe shape. According to folk lore, Stonehenge was created by Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend, who magically transported the mas sive stones from Ireland, where giants had built the structure as a monument to their dead leaders (Na tional Geographic). There is strong archaeological evi

LULU KITCHEN AND BAR
by Sue Giustino
Like Montauk, the town of Sag Harbor offers an array of ine dining options. A sister restaurant to Duryea’s Montauk and Duryea’s Orient, Lulu Kitchen and Bar is one of Sag’s inest. Located at 126 Main Street, in the heart of Sag Harbor, diners can enjoy alfresco din ing overlooking Main Street, the Garden Room out back, or in the main dining room with a view of the open kitchen and the stylish intimate bar.
Arriving on a pleasant August even ing, the front of the restaurant was open to the busy patio, allowing the summer breeze to drift through the dining room which was bustling with activity and lively conversation. Greeted by Zag, one of the managers, we were seated at a lovely table across from the bar taking
in the workings of the open kitchen as well as the enticing aromas of the meals passing by. The drink menu is comprised of creative specialty cocktails and mocktails, as well as a complete wine list. Both of our choices from the Specialty Cocktails, Smoke and Fire with its smoky mezcal, and the Margaritta Mule were well balanced and deli cious. With a little advice from our friendly and ef icient waiter Andre, we also decided on the Duryea’s Private Label Rose, the Tuscan Tosso, and the Bourgogne Chablis. Drinks in hand, we relaxed nibbling on a crisp fresh ba guette with dipping oil, while trying to decide on our meal choices.
As this wasn’t our irst time at Lulu’s, we decided to go with a few dif

New Harvest Moon: September 2, 2024. The New Harvest Moon will be the last new moon of Sum mer and it will be in Virgo. The New Moon in Virgo marks a time for new beginnings, and it allows us to focus on speci ic traits such as being analytical, intelli gent, reserved, critical, helpful, and conscientious. Adopting healthy routines, exercising regularly, main taining a clean diet, and introducing ef icient systems are suggested. Hiring service providers and assistants, breaking projects into actionable steps, being of service to others, and adopting a pet are also recommended. "This is a time of great potential for making changes in our lives, whether it's our jobs, health, or self care rou tines. However, we may face dif iculties when it comes to balancing our responsibilities towards others and our own spiritual and mental well being. Nevertheless, we remain committed to starting fresh with innovative, cre ative, and unconventional ideas."
Full Harvest Moon: September 17, 2024. On September 17, 2024, an extraordinary celestial event will occur, sure to captivate skygazers and astronomers alike.

with Lawrence Spiro
The song "Swinging on a Star" (1944) is a timeless funny song. It was sung by Bing Crosby and composed by Jimmy Van Heusen and lyrics by Johnny Burke. Yikes I’m dating myself.
Chorus:
“Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be ....?”
The choices in the song are: mule, pig, ish and monkey
This poem uses the old chorus with 3 new stanzas. (Lawrence Spiro) Star Shining in the night
1Rose in a beautiful garden
2Weed on the side of the road
Chorus:
“Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a Star?”
a Star is the middle of rhyme, it is an object too forlorn. On a clear night and few hours shine, bored it waits from darkness to dawn.
Chorus:
“Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a Rose?”
A Rose blooms in the garden born the one who desires gets stuck. Velvet petals above the thorn, its beauty’s spell begs to pull pluck.
Chorus:
“Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a weed?”
A weed no shine nor desire as the band marches by with ife. Random to earth, wind, and ire, laughing at the stars, rose and life.
“Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be ???…..”
You decide! a Star, Rose or weed?
I kinda like the weed. It’s got attitude.
From Our New Contributor...
Hi, my name is Ethan Bell and I’m a young adult on the spec trum who is non verbal. The poetry I write is a raw and real per spective from my life. I love to open up and express through poetry because it helps me be vulnerable. My thoughts are constant so being able to focus and write my thoughts out in a poetic way is a big deal for me. I hope whoever reads my poems can relate and enjoy what I write.
Inside Layer – By Ethan Bell
Many to say not possible
The things I want to say.
My dreams they are all feasible
Wait for just the right way
Discover my inside layer
The depths will be hard to measure
Having to live in behind a barrier. Not too fond of thoughts buried like treasure
Useless was my intellect
The having wanting waiting. Never to harbor your respect
The truth is still there, just time I'm biding
Now I will break the world open wide
This is me inding my stride.

ESCAPE FROM PARADISE
dence that Stonehenge was used as a burial site, at least for part of its long history, but most scholars believe it served other functions as well—either as a ceremonial site, a religious pilgrimage destination, a inal resting place for royalty or a memo rial erected to honor and commemorate ancestors. Researchers say the site was created based on a solar year of 365.25 days to help people keep track of days, weeks and months. The mystery of Stonehenge may inally have been unraveled by researchers who say it's a giant solar calendar that may link the UK to ancient Egypt. Estimated as being erected in 3100 BC, Stonehenge was already 500 1,000 years old before the irst pyramid was built.
I couldn’t get enough of taking photos of the circle from every angle possible and asked people on several occasions if they'd be so kind and take photos of us in return for us taking photos of them. We walked slowly back to the visitor center and purchased a book for my grandson David that will hopefully entice him to visit this fascinating place of stones as well in the future.
The long two hour bus ride back to the cruise ship was worth the trip. As I leaned my head on Marcus' shoulder, I smiled, knowing that no matter where life took us next, we'd face it side by side, hand in hand, just as we two widowed souls did since we found each other 10 years ago. "Thank you for bringing me here," I said, turning to him. My husband smiled, hugging me once more. "Anywhere you want to go, hon. Well…Almost." he said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Until next month from another interesting location.
Yours in travel, Love, Ingrid

High School – By Ethan Bell
Full hallways, Lust for freedom
Individuality
Near adults seen not heard
Dreams are big
Fixed gazes broken by screechy blasting bells
A kind of chaos I've come to trust.
Highs higher the lower we go.
Food for souls is taken
Pride built yet un inished. Made to stand out.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21) — You possess networking and creative skills that you usually enjoy doing as a hobby. However, there is a market for these skills, and you can earn money by utilizing them.

A harmonious melody entraps, a plethora of notes fill my brain.
Loud and sound, born to soothe; a distraction from a hallucinating pain.
Higher and higher, the volume goes, the concert has no limit.
Unbeknownst to me, my ears cripple with the ripple of songs of an euphoric minute.
The bathroom condensation warms my skinan apricity-
I step in the shower and it's scalding hot.
Instantly, my mind coolstranquility-
The burning sensation? An afterthought, and too, the euphoric feeling of a blistering rot.
I lift my fork, a daring move, one no-one has yet to make, towards the steaming dish of spicy noodles, born to make the weak quake.
Bite after bite of a thousand flavors; I am reborn in its midst and I lose my senses slowly to a habanero pepper with an euphoric bliss.
So tell me why such euphoric feelings require such bodily risk?

wishes. Sometimes, opportunities present themselves, and it's up to us to take advantage of them. If you come across a reasonable business deal, take the time to eval uate it carefully and don't hesitate to pursue it. Remem ber, these opportunities are not always easy to come by, so it's essential to make the most of them when they arise.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22) — Avoid one sided relation ships to prevent future bitterness. Pay attention to the contributions of both partners. Prioritize your relation ship and be willing to put in the effort. Past relationships may interfere, so be prepared. Remember to be kind to yourself, as everyone has their past.
Leo (July 23 – August 23) — "You have done excep tional work and your superior has recognized your pre vious achievements that have helped enhance your
company's inances. As a result, you can expect to receive recognition and a salary increase. Don't limit yourself, take on the projects that you need to do."
Virgo (August 24 – September 22) — It is possible that there may be a power struggle this month. It is important not to dismiss this person and instead give them the at tention they deserve. Doing so will help them calm down. You are skilled at dealing with people in a balanced and reasonable way. You will receive valuable information that can be a powerful bargaining tool. The end of the week will be enjoyable.

I was fortunate enough to grow up with being able to spend time with two grandmothers until I was well into my twenties. Now the years have lown by and I am a grand mother, too, and able to recapture the joys I spent during my childhood. Being close to grandchildren, hearing their stories, sharing your own, teaching them things you enjoy and listening to their “take on life” accounts for the most precious times together! Most people don’t realize there is a special day called Grandparents Day to “celebrate grand parents”. It comes on the irst Sunday after Labor Day every year, so this year it falls on Sunday, September 8, 2024. The purpose of this recognition is to “show the bond between grandparents and grandchildren” and their close connec tion. While it is easier to establish this connection if grand children and grandparents live close by, one can create other methods to cement this bond, even long distance. Thank goodness for zoom calls or Face Time that enables “visits” no matter if families live in other states or across the globe from each other!

Kelley says the archival exhibition focuses on the "human imprint on the harbor." Tikkanen and Kelley have selected works that present this fragile ecosystem, which was once a way of life for the Accabonac tribe and early settlers, who called it Bonac Crick. An accompanying booklet titled Accabonac History will be available for purchase. For more information please visit www.springshistoricalsociety.org.

Recently I received an email from my friend, Earle that had illustrations with captions of days gone by from famil iar childhood items or of growing up years about us baby boomers. These were such thought provoking “cartoons” and every one of them rang true to my memories. I wrote back to him saying that several of these pic tures touched my soul and instantly made me think of my dear grandmother and the wonderful times she and I used to spend together. It made me nos talgic for the simple things I recalled from my childhood. Going way back in time I loved my over night stays at grandma’s house all starting when I was about seven years old. She lived a whole THREE blocks away from our house, but to me it was an adventure without my parents with us and it was just me and grandma. After dinner we lis tened to the Jack Benny program ON THE RADIO for entertainment as grandma didn't have a TV yet, by choice. In the morning she made me scrambled eggs in her glass frying pan that were absolutely the best tasting ever! Maybe it was the four pats of butter she fried them in that made them so deli cious! My hot coca was served in a "Little Orphan Annie mug" that was my mom's from when she was a little girl! The coca was stirred with a silver spoon that had a carving of Charlie McCarthy on top. Who was Charlie McCarthy? Charlie for those not trivia buffs was the “dummy” of famed ventril oquist, Edgar Bergen. He was before my time, but I recall mom and grandma talking about them both and the funny skits about Charlie and Mr. Bergen “talking” back and forth. Charlie’s famous clothing was a tuxedo, top hat and a monocle in one eye, certainly not your typical kiddie’s dummy we were familiar with during our time.
During my visits, if it were a rainy day, grandma would teach me to embroider, helping me learn and perfect a new stitch each visit. Or perhaps we’d play a card or dice game she enjoyed at her senior ladies or church club gatherings. To this day, I try to teach my grandchildren some of these same activities each time they visit and stay at our house for several days or more. They love the overnight visits, reading them stories when they were little and special foods I prepare when I know they are coming. We’ve had em broidery lessons, craft times and even some art les sons, with the help of an artist friend, Dotty, who invited them over to her house for that purpose. Like my grandma did with me, I plan outings, visits and places to see that we can enjoy together. So this grand parent’s day, try to do something special with your grandparents. If distance is a problem, then give a call and let them know how much you love and appreciate them! For grandparents, this can be your time to plan a day with your grandchildren, even if it is just lunch together or an afternoon visit. Wishing all grandpar ents a lovely day of celebrating YOU!
The Ultimate Dinner Party
Going strong since 2005, ‘The Shack,’ ‘The Gig,’ or ‘668’ as it is affec tionally called, has a knack for evolving with time while staying on task as the coolest restaurant in Montauk.
Lucky for those that frequent The Shack it is wedged in the eastern section of downtown Montauk on Mainstreet, and without a doubt would be a sought out destination if it were tucked away outside of town. Starting nineteen years ago as a family experiment, The Shack was one of the irst of its kind to repre sent a ‘city establishment’ that was al most too far ahead of their time with eclectic décor, live music, global surf cui sine and laid back vibe. Food was or dered at the counter, served on paper plates, and without a liquor license the vices of choice were the desserts. Estab lished by the Gardell family originally from downtown Manhattan, mom Tra cey baked the pies and was at the helm
with the support of her three sons Arden, Skylar and Gray. As a holistic dentist in New York, you would ind hus band and dad Lewis giving dental advise and chatting with customers in his spare time away from the city.
The learning curve was steep, and the family rose to the occasion, trying several chefs over the years, clusters of staff members, design ideas and menu tweaks. Eventually the restaurant evolved to dining on dishware, using glasses, serving alcohol and the gelato case transformed into a bar that is now one of the most popular in Montauk.
You will see patrons in their wetsuits after a surf, in groups waiting for their table, or just stopping by to hang out with all their fa vorite people. The atmosphere is a welcoming one, and the restaurant runs like a well oiled, (beach shack) machine. The staff members are seasoned having grown up along with The Shack and know the menu and intuitively your preferences tout de suite. The desserts are still homemade by Tracey, with the staples of her famous (yes, famous) Key Lime Pie, the rare sighting of Red Velvet cake, Burnt Breton Cheese cake and the surprise of the week, a homemade cookie in a mini cast iron pan, a European style fruit torte, or a delightful spin on carrot cake with macad amia nuts and candied ginger.
While son Gray is the proprietor, head chef Josh Farnham has led a consistent and strong kitchen, mi raculously serving thousands of dishes all summer, seven days a week, for lunch and dinner. A mainstay for lunch in the sun outdoors or sitting down to an in timate or lively dinner (depending on your mood and the evening), the Shack features live music daily in the form of acoustic singers, small bands or a St. Barth esque DJ. When Gray (a.k.a. Spyder) is not working he is at home using his telescope to check out the p tang on Mars.
Dishes at the Shack are inspired by the family’s global travel over the years, a homemade Vongole or Puttanesca from a truf le festival in Italy, tender pulled pork Empanadas from a stint in Portugal and Madeira, Clams Ala Kasbah from a visit to Morocco, and au thentic Montacos with local ish, crisp shells and juicy mango salsa to name a few. Cuisine at the shack is made with the love and precision of an epic dinner party, surrounded by people that are enamored about their experience. The service is on point and the op tions enticingly offer long loved favorites like the unique Charred Lemon Caesar using croissant crou tons speckled with dill and shavings of parmesan, wildly popular Lamburghinis that even non lamb eat ers become addicted to, and new options like the Seared Local Fluke layered a top coconut rice, or the Vegetarian friendly House made Spanakopita with fresh hummus, roasted tomatoes and chunks of Feta. Tuna Tartare Taquitos have made a name for them selves, leshy tuna, ripe avocado and organic micro greens piled into a crispy wonton shell are so adored customers have requested a food truck to drive around Montauk offering them.
The menu is substantial and thoughtful, curating just enough variety to keep each dining experience fresh while always offering the meal you are craving. “When you are planning your week around having the Crispy Chicken entrée, you know you are obsessed with the food at the Shack,” a recent patron joked. The Shack has set the bar high, if you are looking for a re laxed atmosphere with top notch food, unpretentious yet trendy vibe in a town everyone seems to clamor to in the summer the staff and family of The Gig Shack is your spot. Do not forget to order the Key Lime.

SURFSIDE INN AND RESTAURANT
by Sue Giustino
Located along the old highway in a lovely white house with a quaint wraparound porch and spectacular view of the ocean, the Surfside Inn offers hassle free scenic setting for dining on top shelf cuisine. This is one of my favorite places to enjoy a meal while listening to the lull of the waves, watching the moon rise over the Atlantic. With a lovely August breeze blowing off the water, we sat comfortably on the patio for our dinner. Devon, who is always entertaining and accommodating, has been a waiter at Surfside for years. His smile, laughs, stories, and occasional songs adds to the welcoming feeling at this intimate restaurant. On his recommendation, we tried three signature Martinis the Watermelon, Pine apple, and the Toasted Coconut which he warned was hard to have just one. He was right of course; they were so fresh and had just the right amount of natural juice sweetness. The Toasted Coconut one was just like a toasted coconut ice cream pop creamy with a bit of a crunch from the coconut rim.
Starting with one of the evening spe cials, the Baked Chopped Clams with andouille sausage were bursting with a delicious blend of lavors. Such a great combination of spice from the sausage, herbs, clams, and a bit of cheese all baked together in the natural clam shell. For a change, we chose the Asian Vege table Dumplings with a choice of two Asian dip ping sauces. The light crisp wonton is illed with a gentle blend of vegetables. Another crisp and tender choice was the Lightly Bat tered Crispy Calamari which is served with ba nana pepper rings, sweet garlic ginger chili dipping sauce and marinara.
Although we didn’t order these this time, we always enjoy the Prince Edward Island Mussels sauteed in a delicious white wine and garlic butter sauce. In addition, they offer a wonderful assortment of salads and a tasty New England Clam Chowder
Continued on Next Page
The ‘Dishes from the Farm’ section of the menu offers a variety of steak, pork, chicken and duck options. ‘Pasta, Pasta, Pasta’ includes their notorious Lobster Ravioli, a Bolognese, red or white Clams Sauce, Shrimp Capellini tossed in house marinara, and even a Vegetarian pasta with garden vegetables in a white wine sauce over capellini. ‘From the Front Yard’ contains a wide variety of ish and seafood delights including lob ster and a ‘catch of the day’. In addition, there are always intriguing evening specials. In the past, we’ve really enjoyed the Savanah Style Shrimp with the creamiest ched dar cheese grits, Sauteed Shrimp Capellini, the Barbecue Glazed Pork Shank and espe cially the fall off the bone Mango Chipotle Glazed BBQ Baby Back Ribs
OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN
Our choices this time spanned the menu the Roasted LI Duck, Sesame Pan Seared Saku Block Ahi Tuna, and White Clam Sauce served over Linguini. The special la vor of the traditional Orange Grand Marnier Sauce over the LI Duck which was nice and crisp on the out side, yet perfectly tender inside makes this dish one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Rounding out the meal, it’s accompanied by wild rice, seasonal vegetables and extra orange sauce. I or dered the Pan Seared Tuna rare, which is exactly how it came. The crunch of the sesame crust on the tender ish, along with the ield greens drizzled with a balsamic glaze, seaweed salad, ginger and wasabi to gether create a wonderful meal full of delightful textures and lavors. The light broth of the Linguini with Clams, with olive oil, garlic, and parsley enhances the freshness of the clams thus creating a gentle summer pasta dish. As always, each meal is made fresh with generous portions and full of delicious lavors
Enjoying the moonlit evening while savoring our wonderful meals, we decided that we were too full to have dessert. However, Devon convinced us there were a few we just had to try; not surprisingly, his choices proved that maybe we weren’t as full as we thought. Chef Juan has created a fabulous list of des serts, many of which are made in house. His French Crème Brule creamy custard topped with a crisp caramelized sugar, as well as his Tequila Key Lime Pie tart and smooth with a buttery graham cracker crust are both absolutely de licious. However, the Chef Juan’s Mud stole the show. This is the biggest piece of pie ever. Layered with coffee ice cream, thick rich dark fudge, walnuts, and Oreo cookie crumbs purely decadent, sharable and de licious!
Owner/operators Tom and Helene, Chef Juan Bru fau along with his staff, and the friendly, attentive wait staff, have maintained a traditional Montauk friendly en vironment with top notch food. Be sure to stop by for dinner and/or cocktails Enjoy the view!

ferent meals, starting with the Soup DuJour, Potato Leek Soup. Garnished with mini chips and a bit of grated cheese, this creamy bowl of soup had a wonderfully Leek forward lavor and just the right amount of thickness, giving it a thin smooth consistency without being watery. Grilled Spanish Octopus, comes perfectly charred, precut, and adorned with pee wee potatoes, green ta hini, piquillo aioli, and feta cheese. The smooth fresh tahini is a wonderful compli ment for the char lavor of the delicately grilled octopus. Plated with a lovely dis play of fennel, lemon and piquillo aioli, the Seafood Salad consisting of a blend of scallops, shrimp, calamari, pickled mussels, and crabmeat is served atop a refreshingly herby, lemony, bed of tabou leh. The tanginess of the tabouleh adds a wonderful dimension to the natural clean lavors of the seafood. The extra creamy Burrata is served on a bed of toasted house brioche, adorned with tomato bell pepper coulis, walnuts, cherry to matoes, Castelvetrano olives, and a whisp of walnut parsley pesto. Aside from being visually pleasing, each sharable starter is bursting with elegantly curated textures and lavors.
tomato con it, and pickled burned eggplant are ac cented with shaved radishes, fresh dill and parsley with a light whipped tahini adding creamy goodness to the dish. Highly recommended by Andre, the Baked Halibut did not disappoint. Baked to perfection with a warm moist center, this light ish is served with roasted plum tomatoes, and surrounded by a light lemon sauce with coconut mussels, ta pioca pearls, fava, tomato con it, smoked trout roe and white sturgeon caviar. Bu catini being one of my favorite pastas, I couldn’t resist the Seafood & Lobster Bu catini and I’m so glad I didn’t! The blend of garden tomatoes, basil, and lemon oil created a nice fresh summer sauce delicately accenting the generous portion of scallops, shrimp, calamari, mussels and lobster which were perched on top of the al dente bucatini. To accompany these mouth wateringly delectable meals, was a side of garden fresh Heirloom Tomato wedges with tangerine oil and smoked salt.
Moving on to the entrees, we were pleasantly surprised when the chef sent the Grilled Vegetable Salad, which can be an appetizer or a wonderful choice for an entrée. A spectacular array of grilled vege tables baby artichokes, zucchini, bell peppers,
In addition to our choices, there are many other options available including a complete Raw Bar and Farm Stand op tions. One of our favorites is Lulu’s Sig nature Heirloom Cauli lower, prepared for 2 3 people. It’s wood ire roasted and served with spicy LI grapes, yogurt, Aleppo pepper, roasted sesame seeds, and a balsamic glaze. Another is the Duryea’s Lob ster Cobb Salad, sharable for at least 3 people and which we’ve enjoyed at Du ryea’s Montauk on Fort Pond Bay. Served in a large wooden bowl, with an abundance of crunchy gem lettuce, fresh lobster salad, sharp cheddar, crisp bacon, perfectly ripe avocado, seasonally ripe cherry tomatoes, hard boiled farm eggs
and house made creamy tar ragon dressing. Because every ine meal deserves a deca dent ending, be sure to ask about desserts, cof fees and after dinner drinks. From the eight treats on the menu, we de cided on the Pro iterole with vanilla ice cream, hot Valrhona fudge, mini cream puff shells, topped with Tonka bean whipped cream, as well as the table favorite Apple Tarte Tatin for 2. Originated in France, the thin tarte pastry is layered with fresh apples caramelized in butter and sugar and then baked yummy! In ad dition, Chef Carlo thought we should also try the Strawberry Sun dae which is created in a traditional soda shop tall glass with strawberry ice cream, Chantilly, strawberry coulis and white macadamia cookie crumbs.
The kitchen is under the direction of French trained Executive Chef, Philippe Corbet. It obvious his staff, led by their chef de cuisine Carlo Masakayan, is well trained at providing a lawless dining experi ence. Our evening was enhanced beyond the mouth wateringly delectable food, by the friendly, competent and accommodating staff.

PAUL SNYDER’S SEPTEMBER HOOPS JOURNAL
The day before this Journal was due I drove 107 miles up island to watch the NY Liberty play the Dallas Wings. It’s rare that I’ll go that far west in August. Tuesday August 20th was Liberty Coach Sandy Brondello’s 56th birthday. Coach Brondello has an impressive resume. After being a 4th round WNBA draft pick in 1998, Sandy became a WNBA All star in 1999. She played from 1998 2003 for Detroit, Miami and Seattle. She’s coached in the WNBA 19 years for San Antonio, Los Angeles, Phoenix and NY. Sandy was WNBA Coach of the Year in 2014 when she won the championship with the Phoenix Mercury. Sandy’s also the Australian
National Team coach and returned from Paris with a Bronze Medal. In the pregame press conference I asked Sandy, “you’ve been around the game a long time, you’ve won a championship with Phoenix, this team (NY) has great leadership, great chemistry…you’re dominating the league (23 4 record)…it looks like a championship team to me…what’s your thoughts on that?” She answered, “I hope so” as some other reporters laughed and chuckled. She continued, “There’s still a long way to go. I see a lot of similarities between this team and the Phoenix team, we have great leadership you talked about that…we have great talent but sometimes it’s all about the pieces around your main players. I think that’s critical… everyone’s buying in…sometimes sacri icing their roles for the betterment of the team.” The Liberty was coming off a playoff clinching 79 67 win against 2023 WNBA champion Las Vegas on August 17th.
Coach Brondello brought up Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon’s comment after the recent game. She said, “Becky gave us a really good compliment…we play sel less basketball. That’s the greatest feedback that any coach can give an opposing coach.” Sandy continued, “That means we’re playing the right way…now does that mean a championship? No. We have to continue playing hard…playing the right way and hopefully it does come true. That would be awesome.”
Sandy’s team went out in front of a sellout crowd of 11,455 and gave her a 20 point win 94 74. Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones led the way with double/doubles. Stewart had 26 points and 12 rebounds while Jones had 23 points and 12 rebounds. Before the game I had asked both players about ighting complacency. Breanna answered, “We haven’t done anything yet…so that’s really it…we like where we’re at but we have to keep going.” I asked Jonquel about the mission they’re on this year. In 2023 their season ended in the WNBA inals with a 70 69 loss to Vegas on October 18th. I asked JJ, “You want to get back at what happened last year.” As she shook her head yes she answered the question about complacency and avenging last season’s inal loss, “the job isn’t done…we have an ultimate goal to be in the championship and ultimately win the championship...
there’s no reason to be complacent…we haven’t achieved anything yet. In the postgame press conference I reminded both Breanna and Jonquel of my pregame questions about complacency. The two star players sat on either side of their coach on her birthday. I said, “I think you can bring NY a championship and we’re hungry for one…how much fun are you having and can you keep it rolling the way it’s going?” Jonquel answered, “we’re having a lot of fun…it’s always fun when you’re winning. It’s even better when you’re surrounded with really great people. We want to get the job done and bring a championship back to the city too.” There was a lot of laughter and smiles. As Sandy Brondello passed me as she left the stage I said, “That was a great birthday present coach.” She gave me a big con irming smile. Look for the 2024 NY Liberty to continue the roll they are on.

Additional access to the industry has been provided by the convenience, safety and relative anonymity of on line transactions, making it harder than ever to track the transportation and delivery of goods. Many nations that suffer from high rates of wildlife traf icking also lack suf icient law enforcement and security to adequately mon itor their borders for illegal traders. However, many governments, nonpro its and environmental workers are
making efforts to remedy these issues.
In 2022, the United States Agency for International Development committed $75 million per year towards reducing traf icking in more than 35 African, Asian and Latin American countries. The money will go towards be havior change campaigns, more careers in conservation, and increased law implementation and security capacity so that borders are more consistently monitored. Similar efforts from the likes of the United Nations Of ice of Drugs and Crime and the non pro it Wildlife Conserva tion Society have already led to a 35 percent increase in convictions for wildlife crimes. These programs are key in our societal efforts to collaborate with governments, indigenous peoples, local communities and local tourism and transportation to discourage wildlife crime.
For starters, any evidence of online traf icking should be reported to the Coalition to End Wildlife Traf icking On line or the National Wildlife Crime Unit. Tourists should also exercise caution when encountering especially ex otic goods, experiences or foods. You can verify if some organic products — speci ically ish, supermarket goods, and products made with palm oil — are sustainably sourced by visiting the websites for Good Fish Guide, the Giki app, and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil re spectively.

Traf icking often feels like a distant issue, but there are still ways for us to help combat wildlife crimes.
Dear EarthTalk: What percentage of U.S. currency today is actually in dollars and coins versus digital? Would it be good for the planet if we ditched bills and coins com pletely? ~ P.L., via email
As the digital transformation of our economy accel erates, it is vital to examine not just the eco nomic rami ications but the environmental impacts associated with both physical and digital currencies.
The physical form of U.S. currency, speci ically coins and banknotes, makes up a signi icant portion of the total currency in cir culation today. As of the end of 2020, there was approximately $2.04 trillion worth of U.S. currency in circulation. This amount repre sented about 50.3 billion individual notes, spanning various denominations from $1 to $100 bills, and the balance coins. In contrast,

a substantial portion of the cen tral bank's money supply is in digital form. As of late 2021, digital balances at the Federal Reserve amounted to $4.18 tril lion, compared to $2.21 trillion in circulating cash.
The production of physical currency, including coins and bills, involves resource inten sive processes. Mining for met als like zinc and copper is necessary for coin production, while the creation of banknotes often requires paper, which is linked to deforestation and other environmental issues. For example, it now costs more to produce a penny than its face value, underscoring the inef i ciency and environmental cost of producing physical currency. As highlighted by Kathiann Kowalski of Science News Ex plore, "the metals then go to a factory, where copper coats each side of a thicker zinc layer", illustrating the complex and energy intensive processes involved in minting coins.
Conversely, digital curren cies eliminate the need for physical materials used in coins and banknotes. However, the operation of these technologies predominantly depends on electricity generated from fossil fuels, contributing to green house gas emissions and other environmental impacts. The shift toward digital currency systems like Bitcoin has high lighted concerns regarding their sustainability due to the high energy consumption of blockchain technologies and mining processes.
When comparing the envi ronmental impacts of physical and digital currencies, it's ap parent that both systems entail signi icant environmental costs. Physical currencies require ex tensive raw materials and en ergy for production and transportation, contributing to pollution and resource deple tion. On the other hand, digital currencies, while reducing physical waste, increase the de mand for energy, potentially ex acerbating carbon emissions unless powered by renewable energy sources.

LABOR DAY...
Continued from Page 9
and on June 28, 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September o each year a legal holiday.
McGuire v. Maguire: Who Founded Labor Day?
Who first proposed the holiday or workers? It’s not entirely clear, but two workers can make a solid claim to the Founder o Labor Day title.
Some records show that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary o the Brotherhood o Carpenters and Joiners and a co ounder o the American Federa tion o Labor, suggested setting aside a day or a "general holiday or the laboring classes" to honor those "who rom rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, not Peter McGuire, ounded the holiday.

Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary o Local 344 o the Interna tional Association o Machinists in Pater son, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary o the Central Labor Union in New York.
According to the New Jersey Histori cal Society, a ter President Cleveland signed the law creating a national Labor Day, the Paterson Morning Call published an opinion piece stating that "the souvenir pen should go to Alderman Matthew Maguire o this city, who is the undisputed author o Labor Day as a holiday." Both Maguire and McGuire attended the coun try’s first Labor Day parade in New York City that year.
The First Labor Day
The first Labor Day holiday was cele brated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans o the Central Labor Union. The Cen tral Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on Septem ber 5, 1883.
By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, Presi dent Grover Cleveland signed a law mak ing the first Monday in September o each year a national holiday.
A Nationwide Holiday
Many Americans celebrate Labor Day with parades and parties – estivities very similar to those outlined by the first pro posal or a holiday, which suggested that

the day should be observed with – a street parade to exhibit "the strength and esprit de corps o the trade and labor organiza tions" o the community, ollowed by a es tival or the recreation and amusement o the workers and their amilies. This be came the pattern or the celebrations o Labor Day.
Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civic significance o the holiday. Still later, by a resolution o the American Fed eration o Labor convention o 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects o the labor movement.
American labor has raised the na tion’s standard o living and contributed to the greatest production the world has ever known and the labor movement has brought us closer to the realization o our traditional ideals o economic and politi cal democracy.

Seasonal Affective is in Order
And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep, and autumn was awakened – Raquel Franco
The joy of fall. The sadness of summer ending. Eager to wear jeans and turtlenecks, wistful that tans are fading. Cooler evenings that facilitate better sleep, reluctant to trade the lip lops in for Ugg’s in the morning.
September is a paradox, as are the months that follow leading into winter as the source of dread and gleeful anticipation of change. How ever you perceive it, fall is about transition and reevaluation. Holidays that mark the new year, the start of school, chilly weather and less daylight are a predictable shift, and we can enjoy different activities and routines. For those that seek out the endless summer and ind a warmer destination for half of the year, change is still inevitable. Staying put and embracing the events of colder seasons means embracing the lipside of summer; ski season, wood burning stoves, heartier meals and perhaps more travel.
Chatter lately on the East End has been centered around how quickly August has descended upon us, that summer feels instantly “over”, and the ocean has not even warmed up enough yet. Intellectually, we go through this each year, and we know what to expect every September. Psychologically we fear change and mourn the loss of sunshine, warm air and the lightness that summer months bring. We associate summer with a ‘break’ in routine, more fun and shelving some responsibilities that we manage all year long. Falling leaves and wilting lowers signals decay and endings, and subconsciously we may brace ourselves for the challenges of winter. We must remind ourselves that winter is as leeting as summer, and following winter is the best time of the year, spring renewal. Taking the time to assess our goals and re lect on a spectacular summer is part of the process, while participating in the practices speci ic to autumn and winter, knowing those too, will pass. The feeling of dread is real, and we can continue to play outside, plan journeys to take during the colder months, and focus on things eclipsed by the lurry of summer commitments. While summer feels like the reward for powering through the other seasons, appreciating the full year and all the experiences it brings may be the best reward of all.
CURRENT EVENTS AND MAP LOCATIONS
by Evelyn J. Mocbeichel
I guess I can thank my elementary school teachers for my interest in maps and locations of countries around the world. Frequently, our class assignment was to cut out a newspaper article that pertained to another country, write a brief summary of what we had read and be able to locate that country on a map. Remember those large, rolled up maps mounted on the classroom ceiling in front of the black board that the teacher could pull down to review lessons? A child would be called to the front of the class and have to ind that country, using the teacher’s long, wooden pointer stick. To this day when I am watching an Olympic broadcast during the opening ceremonies and a lag bearer goes by the screen with a country I am not familiar with, I go to the internet to ind out its location. Can you believe there are over 195 countries in the world? I am sure most of us can’t name more than ifty of them. This might be a fun exercise to do alone or with a few friends to challenge each other who can write down the most countries. The next time my grandchildren come to visit, I think I will try this exercise on them as both are in junior high school classes now.
Recently a friend of ours told us that she is going on a long anticipated anniversary trip with her husband to the Seychelles. I’ve heard of those islands, but wasn’t exactly sure where they were on a map. How long would the light be from her European homeland? Another friend visiting the Galapagos Islands emailed some photos of her trip and once again I pulled out the map to see where she was. By the way, we received a nice, folded paper map of the world after making a donation to a charity that helps children around the world needing ur gent medical attention. While the map was sent to show the countries this organization covers with their medical care, the map is useful when I need an updated version of world countries. Sometimes very old maps in an atlas are outdated when countries changed names or were newly established since the book was printed decades earlier. Just to test your own knowledge about other geography and other countries, and something they are famous for, see how many answers you know below:
1. Where is the highest waterfall in the world? 2. What is the capital of Iceland?
3. Where is the country of Sri Lanka located? 4. What is the capital of Wales?
5. In what country is the ancient site of Machu Picchu? 6. The Tower of London stands overlooking what body of water? 7. What country has the town of Edam where the famous cheese originated? 8. What is the largest country in South Amer ica in land size? 9. What is the largest desert in Africa? 10. What is the longest river in Europe? 11. The Canary Islands are located off the coast of what nation? 12. What is the capital of Canada?
Answers: 1.Angel Falls/Venezuela, it’s 3,212 feet high; 2.Reykjavik; 3.Off the coast of India; 4.Cardiff; 5.Peru; 6.Thames River; 7.The Netherlands; 8.Brazil; 9.The Sahara; 10.The Volga; 11.Morocco; 12.Ottawa.

68 years is a long time to do anything, but being mar ried for that long takes a spe cial relationship and impressive longevity genes. Add to that 5 children 10 grandchildren 3 great grand children with 2 more on the way, you get the life of my par ents, Betty and Marty Diviney. Blessed and grateful, that’s how I feel. As does the rest of our family. They have raised my siblings and I to al ways do our best, be respect ful, cherish family time, and to give back whenever we can. Make no mis take, like every family there’s been issues, but somehow, we al ways seem to come together and support one another. The ex ample our parents have set for us has a lot to do with it.
To say they had an easy life would be incorrect, yet through it all, my par ents stuck together; supporting, loving, and enjoying each other. Growing up as one of ive had its trials, yet many more bene its. However, raising ive children had to be exhausting. In addition to being a NY City Firemen and eventually retiring as a Battalion Chief, dad worked many jobs to provide for our family. Mom held down the fort caring for the ive of us, daily needs, preparing 3 homecooked meals each day, even making much of our clothing when we were young. They were a team, and it worked and it still does. For years, we went to church on Sunday, watched a few shows on our black and white TV, and ate dinner together every night, with few exceptions. We also had many friends in and out of the house, all welcomed to join for a homecooked meal.
Mom and Dad worked hard, saved for annual summer road trip vacations with our station wagon to Florida, Virginia, Main… anywhere we could go make memories while returning one week later so dad could get back to work. Some of our favorite times were our day trips to Hither Hills in Montauk. We’d all pile in the station wagon bright and early in the morning and drive the 2 hours from Huntington to Montauk. Meeting our good family friends, we’d enjoy the ocean, BBQ lunch and return for more beach time, then back to the picnic area for dinner and games. I can’t remember a time growing up that we didn’t do this at least once or twice a summer always ending at Carvel in Bridgehampton with the two wagons full of kids lining up for ice cream. That started our love of Montauk, and year after year as teens and even with our own children we’d get a few campsites for a week of family fun. Still today we plan our annual family weeks together in Montauk.
For some well earned alone time, they would va cation together as well, or with their own siblings and friends leaving us with grandma and grandpa. They sent each of us to attend college, and even took every one of their ten grandchildren on a special cruise when they turned 16.
We still cherish being together for family dinners, special occasions, and even some vacations to gether. I realize how fortunate we are to still have our parents and for our children and grandchildren to be able to know and enjoy them.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad We Love you!
