Preview Club comes to Cinema Arts Centre for all movie lovers

Holiday Party and ribbon Cutting

By Victoria Espinoza

Looking for a more exclusive way to enjoy movies in Huntington? The Cinema Arts Centre has just the fix. The Preview Club is a new program opening in March that will allow a select amount of people to attend advance screenings of new films before their New York release dates. David Schwartz, chief curator of the Museum of the Moving Image in Manhattan, will be curating the program and will also design the program from audience feedback. After every show, a guest speaker — for example, the producer of the movie — will lead a discussion with the audience related to the film shown. The audience will also be given cards for comments, which will aid Schwartz in his development of the

program going forward. There is a maximum of 270 members allowed in the club, and Raj Tawney, director of publicity and promotions at the Cinema Arts Centre, said the club already has about one hundred members after just announcing the program last week. “The exciting part of it is you as an audience member won’t know what you’re seeing until you sit down in the theater,” Tawney said in a phone interview. The films shown will be a range of major independent and international movies and will be shown about once or twice a month. The first showing is Mar. 16, and the following few include April 16 and 27. The Preview Club is not only a ticket to new movies, but also a social club meant for fellow film lovers to interact.

Beach debate continues Coastal geologist talks to Asharoken board of trustees, residents on their options to deal with restorations By Victoria Espinoza

The considerations for the Asharoken beach and dune restorations continue. Coastal geologist Aram Terchunian from First Coastal Corp. consultants delivered a presentation to the board of trustees on Feb. 3, and trustees said they still agreed to go forward with an $84.5 million plan that would transform Asharoken’s beaches and dunes. Several months ago, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers presented the board with five different alternatives to combat the flooding and erosion problems the

village has encountered, specifically those that arose after Hurricane Sandy. Trustees said they preferred the plan known as alternative (1), which uses sand to fill the coastline along Asharoken Beach. The plan includes filling the beach with a particular type of offshore grain that is compatible with the native beach sand. There will also be a dune made on the west end of the beach. The initial volume of beach fill is 600,000 cubic yards with 80,000 cubic yards of nourishment every three years, Terchunian said. The total estimated cost for construction alone of this plan is just more than $21 million, Terchunian said. He said that the construction cost is shared roughly 70 percent by the federal government, 20 percent by the state and 10 percent by local government. But the maintenance-costs share changes to only 50 percent federal, 35 percent state and 15 percent local. The coastal geologist also said the sand alternative plan is the least expensive to construct, but the most expensive to maintain over time due to the amount of annual sand needed. He said the Army Corps “did their

homework” with the proposals they presented to the board, and he particularly praised the plan for alternative (1) because of the type of offshore sand the Corps planned to use. “Looking at these sediments, the Corps made an astute observation,” Terchunian said. “Designing the project with a slightly heavier grain size than exists on beach, from offshore, is an excellent match [to the sand type currently on the beach].” He said the grain size is “critically important” to the success and endurance of this plan.

In a phone interview on Friday, Asharoken Mayor Greg Letica said the board has concerns with the groin components in the other alternatives presented by the Army Corps. “We are also concerned about the fact that there is not guaranteed longterm replenishment money which could leave the groins exposed, become a possible eyesore and cause more erosion downstream,” he said.

Flanagan gets into synthetic drug fight By Phil Corso

Lawmakers are stepping up in the fight against synthetic drugs, and one North Shore official said it was a major milestone in a personal initiative to combat abuse. State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) joined with Senate Majority Coalition leaders and the Independent Democratic Conference leader Jeff Klein (D-Bronx) to help pass a package of bills that aims to prevent the abuse of deadly synthetic drugs. In a statement, Flanagan said the drugs have become more prevalent across Long Island because their effects are similar to other known hallucinogens or narcotics. But their chemical structures, Flanagan said, are slightly altered, making it more difficult to restrict them. “The spread of synthetic drugs is affecting every community and will ‘The spread of synthetic continue to destroy drugs is affecting every lives unless more preventive action is takcommunity and will en,” Flanagan said. continue to destroy lives “For five years, I have legislation unless more preventive sponsored that has passed the action is taken.’ Senate on numerous — john fLanagan occasions so that we can hold criminals accountable for the creation of new and dangerous drugs that evade our current laws. It is past time for the Assembly to join us and help put an end to synthetic drugs today.” If the Senate bill passes, the state would zero in on the sale of the synthetic drugs known as K2, AlphaPVP and others similar to them, by creating criminal penalties for possession and sale. The Department of Health would have to maintain an electronic database of known synthetic cannabinoids, listing their compounds, a description of products and their street names, lawmakers said. The legislation would also amend the Controlled Substances Act to add analogous drugs, Flanagan said. With support from the Senate Majority Coalition and Klein, who heads the Independent Democratic Conference, lawmakers released a report called “The State of Synthetics: A Review of the Synthetic Cannabinoid Drug Problem in New York and Solutions on Ending the Epidemic” earlier this year. The report found that New York taxpayers fronted roughly $22.7 million to respond to what Flanagan called a public

health crisis in 2015. “We must KO K2 from upstate to downstate, and the Senate will send a strong message that synthetic drugs will not be tolerated in our state,” Klein said. “My analog bill will ensure that New York keeps ahead of the chemists’ curve and will ban chemicals that mimic controlled substances as they are tweaked, so the law can no longer be subverted. Now, the Assembly must take action to protect the citizens of New York State.” File photo

Book-loving elementary students go for gold Last month, the PTA at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School in Harborfields school district sponsored Pick a Reading Partner, a statewide reading program that encourages students to read at home with parents and host schoolwide events to establish good reading habits. This year’s PARP theme at TJL was Reading for the Gold. Inspired by an Olympic competition, each wing of the building was assigned and decorated to represent

a different country. A huge poster of the Olympic rings adorned the entrance of the school and the symbol was placed throughout the building. Led by administrators and teachers, the week kicked off with a special assembly to help students build up excitement for the program. To conclude the presentation, teachers sang lyrics that promoted reading to the tune of “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift.

Each day of the week offered a new theme for students to participate and show off their PARP spirit. Students celebrated Reading Day by wearing the color red, used their imagination for Crazy Hat Day, supported their teams on Favorite Jersey Day and literally dropped everything and read for DEAR Day. Additionally, students took a pledge to read a certain number of minutes each night and then completed reading forms

signed by their parents. As added motivation, the entire school was challenged to complete at least 100,000 minutes of reading. If they met this feat, they had the opportunity to create a Principal’s Challenge, a students-made challenge that their principal, Margy Greene, would perform. The PTA tallied a total of 102,094 minutes read by the entire student body.

Patrols were timed as they pulled their patrol sled with a patrol member on it.

Local Scouts test skills during Camporee Weekend Boy Scouts from the Matinecock District tested their Scouting skills last month during the district’s annual Polar Bear Scouting Skills Camporee Weekend. The event took place the weekend of Jan. 29 to 31 at the Baiting Hollow Scout Camp in Calverton, and this year’s theme was Red, White, and Blue. The Scouts engaged in a variety of

activities, such as the Great Klondike Sled Race, where the patrols were timed as they pulled their patrol sled with a patrol member on it. An important skill for campers is to secure their food so as to not attract wildlife. Scouts raced the clock to tie the correct knots on the trees as they raised two bags containing food items that bears might want to get into during the overnight hours.

The Caumsett Foundation is proud to announce the election of John S. Norbeck to its board. Norbeck is the former president and CEO of Old Westbury Gardens. He also served as the regional director of the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, as the director at Planting Fields Arboretum and later as general manager for all arboreta in the Long Island region. He is a graduate of Hofstra University and Pratt Institute. Norbeck currently serves on the board of the Peconic Land Trust, is an advisor to the board of Old Westbury Gardens and is a member of the Hofstra Alumni Board, the American Public Garden Association, the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities and the Water Mill Museum.

Blue Devils top Smithtown East, head to playoffs Girls’ BasketBall

Huntington . . . . . . . . 63 Smithtown East . . . . 50 By Bill landon

Needing a win to earn a share of the League III championship title, the Huntington girls’ basketball team took care of business Tuesday night, defeating Smithtown East on the road, 63-50. It was senior night for the Bulls, who were able to close within 11 points late, before falling to the Blue Devils. Huntington sophomore Alex Heuwetter had the hot hand early, scoring seven points, while teammate Anna Gulizio, a junior, added six to put their team out front 21-9 after eight minutes of play. Having trouble scoring from the paint, Smithtown East unleashed its 3-point game, with juniors Tori Redmond, Jordi DeBernardo and Alex Schultz netting treys in the second quarter. But Huntington answered back with four 3-pointers of its own,

two of which were by senior guard Katie Reilly, propelling the Blue Devils to a 40-24 advantage to open the second half. “They came out with a lot of passion, especially on a night like this, so we should’ve

taken them more seriously,” Reilly said. “I thought we played pretty good, but I think we could’ve played stronger defensively. All

in all, we did all right.” Battling the boards all night for the Bulls was Nina DeStefano, who rebounded several missed shots for putbacks. DeBernardo nailed her second trifecta of the game as Smithtown East outscored Huntington 1312 after eight minutes, to trail 52-37 heading into the final quarter. Huntington senior Brooke Baade sparked the offense with a field goal and her third 3-pointer of the game, and Heuwetter banked a pair of field goals to put a stop to the Bull’s late-game surge. Schultz swished a pair of 3-pointers late and DeStefano netted two field goals, but it was too little too late for Smithtown East, as Huntington took the win to finish 12-1 in League III, and tie Riverhead for a share of the league title. “I knew that they were going to be tough,” DeStefano said. “They’re in first place in our league for a reason. It was a struggle under the boards because they have a lot of good rebounders.” Schultz led her team in scoring with 15 points, while DeStefano followed GIRLS’ HOOPS continued on page A9

Boy’s winter track finishes off special season Track & Field By Alex PetRoski

Huntington boys’ track and field head coach Ron Wilson had an idea that he could have a strong team for the 2015-16 winter season, but the success they’ve enjoyed was beyond even his expectations. “We knew that we had quite a few kids returning this season, which would put us at the forefront in Suffolk County,” Wilson said. “We didn’t know that we would be one of the top teams in the state of New York.” That’s exactly what the Blue Devils were this winter: one of the most electrifying track and field squads in the state. The team is led by their “Fantastic Four,” the nickname given to Huntington’s state champion 4x400-meter relay team from last winter. All four members returned this year. Infinite Tucker, Kyree Johnson, Lawrence Leake and Exzayvian Crowell captured numerous state, county, league and Long Island accolades as a team and individually last year, and this year hasn’t been much different. The team took the gold in the 4x400 relay at the Suffolk County Championships on Jan. 31 at the Suffolk County Community College campus in Brentwood. They also qualified for Nationals, which will take place on March 11 in New York City. Huntington’s 4x200 relay team also qualified, as did Tucker and Johnson in numerous individual events. Wilson said it hit him how special this team was at a meet on Jan. 16 at the Molloy Stanner Games at the New Balance Track and Field Center at the Armory in Manhattan. “We were grooving,” Wilson said with a hearty laugh. On that Saturday in Manhattan, Tucker ran the best time in the country for the winter season in the 600 dash, and Johnson set the mark nationally for the 300 dash, while Leake posted the fourth-best

time of the year in the 300. The times were announced to a standing ovation, according to Wilson. Wilson said one of the biggest surprises of the season was Leake’s performance. “My time in the 300, I was very proud of,” Leake said. Johnson indicated that he could tell fairly early on how special the Blue Devils might be. “Around the first couple of meets, everybody started to show how good they are and the ability they had,” Johnson said. Johnson credited advice from his older brother Tyreke, who also ran track at Huntington, as being helpful in keeping his competitive edge, de-

close behind with 12 and Redmond tacked on 10. “Nina DeStefano had an outstanding game for us on senior night, Tatiana Jean did a great job rebounding the ball and Ceili Williams, our sophomore point guard, had one of the best games she’s had for us, and sky’s the limit for her,” Smithtown East head coach Tom Vulin said. “So as a team, we played well together. We cut the deficit to 11 so a couple of turnovers here and there could’ve made it closer.” Atop the leaderboard for Huntington was Heuwetter with 16 points, Reilly netted 14 and Baade banked 11. “They’re a tough team — they’re in third place in our conference and they have a lot of good shooters,” Heuwetter said. “Our defense could’ve been better. They were popping threes like crazy.”

spite enormous success. “The number one thing is to remain humble and don’t look at anybody like they’re not as good as you,” Johnson said. “I have to work my hardest.” Wilson has been a part of some special teams at Huntington in his nine years leading the high school squad. He coached in the district on the junior high level from 1998 to 2007, when he became an assistant for the high school team under Dennis Walker. Wilson was also a member of the team in 1993 and 1994, when he attended Huntington. “I didn’t run; I was a thrower,” Wilson said. “I was too big to run.”

Clinching a playoff berth the week before, No. 19 Smithtown East opened the postseason with an out-bracket game against No. 14 Hauppauge, but results were not available by press time. “Because of all the snow, our playoff season starts tomorrow, so we’ll know sometime tomorrow morning who we’ll face,” Vulin said following the loss. “I’ll get as much information as I can and we’ll go after it.” Heuwetter said her team suffered a bitter defeat deep into the playoffs last year, so the Blue Devils are looking for a comeback performance heading into this year’s postseason. Huntington goes into the postseason as the No. 6 seed, and will host No. 11 Half Hollow Hills West on Friday at 5 p.m. “We really want it,” she said. “Last year we went deep into the playoffs, but we were really upset that we couldn’t get farther, so we’ll use last years’ playoff defeat as motivation to get as far as we can this year.”

The head coach didn’t hesitate for a second when trying to compare this Blue Devils’ team to the numerous versions that he’d had a hand in previously. “This is by far the best team that I’ve coached,” he said. Assistant coach Eli Acosta, who said this is his 49th year in the Long Island track and field world, reiterated Wilson’s assessment of the team. “I can say that this is the best track and field that I’ve ever coached in terms of talent,” Acosta said. “We have very talented athletes, that goes without saying. They also work quite hard.” Wilson said his team is focused and driven, without being too uptight. “It’s a well-rounded team,” he said. “They’re nice boys. They can be silly at times, but once they get on the track, it’s always business.” Tucker and Johnson are undoubtedly the team’s most talented members, though the role of leadership is a shared duty among the entire roster, according to Wilson. “It’s kind of fun,” Tucker said of his relationship with Johnson. “It’s like running with your brother.” Acosta admitted that he and Wilson pit Johnson and Tucker against each other in certain events and in practice as a tactic to motivate the star athletes. “They pick each other up,” Wilson said. “It’s more of the team that leads us, that drives our success, especially amongst our relay team.” Despite their success, Wilson said he hasn’t seen any lull in the team’s drive or motivation. “When these kids are able to stay humble and stay low, they’re always able to seek improvement,” Wilson said. “If the competition is not there, you have to compete against yourself.”

In first season as head coach, Tampori proves he can go the distance BY VICTORIA ESPINOZA

Harborfields’ boys’ basketball team has become one of the most celebrated at the high school in recent years, with the boys winning the League V title for the eighth straight year. Although this is only John Tampori’s first year as head coach of the Tornadoes, he has been the assistant coach for the last 11 years, and has been able to seamlessly keep their tradition of domination alive. Tampori served under Chris Agostino, who left the school left last year for Elmont Memorial High School as the school’s new athletic director. “I’ve known the players, some of them are three- or four-year varsity players,” Tampori said in a phone interview. “They knew me as well. I knew what I was stepping into. I

Movers & Shakers knew exactly what was going on.” The transition appears to be just as easy for the players, as the team is currently undefeated in the league and look to be in a great spot in the Suffolk County playoffs, which kick off this Friday. Tampori said he didn’t want to bring too many changes in as the new coach. “When things are working, you don’t want to change too much,” he said. However, after losing the Suffolk County A Championship last year, he said he wanted to focus on improving shot selection on offense.

Above, John Tampori has been with the Harborfields Tornadoes for more than a decade. Top right, one of the HF boys basketball players jumps for a lay up.

“Playing smarter was a thing I had in mind going into this season,” Tampori said. According to the head coach, that included working the ball into a shot that players are more capable of making, and better time management of the game clock. Harborfields Athletic Director John Valente said Tampori has exceeded expectations. “Coach John Tampori had some big shoes to fill when Chris Agostino left,” Valente said in an email. “Coach Tampori has stupendous knowledge of the game and knows all the right buttons to push for the team and players to reach all their goals this season. I couldn’t be prouder of the job he has done this season taking over from a successful coach who he served as an assistant coach to for six years. This is now Coach Tampori’s basketball program.” For this season, Tampori said the starting five are all very special players, and have really contributed to how successful this season has been. “They all play super hard in practice and get each other better,” he said of the five, who include seniors Alex Bloom, Dan Morgan, Malcolm Wynter and Robert Pecorelli, and junior Alex Merhige. For what he enjoys the most about coaching the team, he says it comes down to the type of boys they are. “We’ve always had really good students — as far as their grades — and they must come from really good fami-

lies, because they’re all very respectful, polite, and just solid, good young men,” Tampori said. “Even when they get off the bus, they say thank you to the bus driver. That’s a little thing, but it still shows who they are.” As far as the next few weeks and the Suffolk County Championship, Tampori doesn’t like to look too far ahead. “I just talk about one game at a time,” he said. “I don’t want anybody to look ahead and forget what’s in front of us.” Aside from boys’ basketball team, Tampori is a special education teacher at the high school, and also coaches boys’ and girls’ junior varsity tennis teams in the fall. “I enjoy the faculty and the type of students you have,” he said of teaching at Harborfields. “You get really nice kids, they respond to what you have to say to them, it’s a nice environment to work in.”

process has been the issue of public access. It is required by the federal government for public access points to be made if government funds are used to help finance the project. Currently, the public is only afforded access of a private beach property below the waterline. However, if this proposal goes through, the public would have access above the mean high waterline to private properties on the Long Island Sound side. Letica asked Terchunian if there is anyway Asharoken could get around the additional required public access points. Terchunian said that the Army Corps is not allowed to have any flexibility with the projects they propose, and the U.S. Congress said, “If they spend the money in this location, these are the requirements.” Local politicians such as Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) and Huntington Town Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) have

written to the Army Corps headquarters asking for the public access points on private property to be reconsidered. Terchunian has years of experience working with the Army Corps, most notably with the Village of Westhampton Beach for dune restoration. The need for this project was first introduced by Letica in 2012, in a letter to federal legislators urging them to find funding to protect Asharoken Avenue, which he had called “exposed,” after Sandy and multiple nor’easters continued to reduce the size of the dunes protecting the shore. The village had until yesterday, Feb. 10, to respond initially to the Army Corps. Letica said the board intends to keep the community completely in the loop as it comes closer to making a decision on whether or not they go forward with a plan. “We want the board to not make these decisions unilaterally,” he said, adding that the trustees will look into forums like public hearings or public surveys to gauge residents’ desires.

kisses on my lips and face which are … never to be wiped away by a female! Was this unthinking? Was it not voluntarily granted? The unthinking confession, how was it?” Van Wycke talked of conversations in which Mary had supposedly given full acknowledgement of desiring a life with him. “We were talking of domestic happiness, to which I remarked that I never expected to know domestic happiness, to which you readily replied that it was and had been your wish to make me happy. Was this unthinking or involuntary on your part? Ask your conscience!” Mary begged Van Wycke not to respond to her letter, as she felt there was no point: “Let me desire you also never to renew the subject of this letter

you have before you now, the candid and full expression of my sentiments and feelings which makes it wholly unnecessary to discuss in private conversation,” she said. Mary signed the letter “With due respect, your well-wisher,” and thus ended the last contact she ever had with Van Wycke. Although Van Wycke ultimately did not send his response, he had originally intended to ignore her request for silence. “Willingly would I comply with your requests in not answering your epistle, but my feelings prompt me to this act, and moreover … to present (together with your conscience) a memorial of your conduct to me,” he wrote. Van Wycke died an unmarried man at age 51, on June 24, 1849. He foreshadowed his fate in his letter when he said, “This disappointment leads me to form a new system for my future life.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

Cop committee needs outsiders

The Suffolk County Police Department needs more oversight, but a committee entirely composed of Suffolk County legislators is not going to cut it. Rob Trotta, the Republican representative for the 13th Legislative District, called upon his experience in law enforcement when he proposed such a committee to investigate and oversee county police operations. There have been concerns after issues such as former police chief James Burke’s resignation last year amid charges of civil rights violations. Trotta is a former Suffolk County detective who once worked on the FBI’s Long Island task force. His idea would put six members of the Legislature on this committee to review police practices, as well as those in the district attorney’s office and the county sheriff’s office, and investigate allegations of favoritism and other issues. While we support his notion of assembling an oversight committee to keep the county police department honest, we also prefer bringing in people from different backgrounds. There should be legislators involved

on the committee, but we would limit it to only two members — one from the Legislature’s majority party and one from its minority. From there, we would add a local expert on ethics, one representative each from the police department, sheriff’s office and DA’s office, and perhaps a financial member such as Comptroller John M. Kennedy Jr.

Bringing together these different brains and skill sets would bring more ideas to the table and help in problem-solving — diversity in opinions and backgrounds could enhance the conversation. Having this sort of diverse membership would also help prevent abuse, as the committee Trotta has proposed will have the authority to subpoena and to

administer oaths and affirmations. Not that we think our legislators are necessarily untrustworthy, but putting that level of power into the hands of any one lone group is asking for trouble. We already have enough of that with people who have abused their authority — that’s why we’re in this position in the first place.

A franchised society on automatic pilot

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

C

linton, Bush, “Star Wars,” McDonald’s, Target. It sounds like the setup for a joke, except that the joke seems to be on us. Somehow, a nation that prides itself on rugged individualism has wound up with a case of “the more of the same, please.” It’s like we’ve all been chewing the same gum for a long time. As soon as we’re not

sure what to do with it in our mouths, we pop in another piece, which tastes OK for a while but then runs out of flavor. Hey, look, I get it. The unfamiliar could be worse and confusing. We have, politically and culturally, become a country that is comfortable with the devils we know. Drive through almost any town on the East Coast and you might feel as if you are taking a short trip, over and over, through a movie set with the same props, signs and stores on every corner. What happened to mom and pop stores? Is there such a thing as local flavor anymore? Do we even want to try local flavor, lest we don’t like it or, worse, our digestion doesn’t appreciate an unfamiliar combination of foods? We are a society of specific tastes, avoiding gluten, peanuts, dairy, animal protein and a host of others. What that’s created is a collection of picky eaters and

picky consumers who want things their way from specific restaurants and stores. That has become a recipe for the same stores to open in towns throughout the country. We have become a society in which franchises reduce the amount of thinking we have to do, trimming the highs and lows of unique experiences. We don’t have to think about any of our consumer choices, because we can go to the same stores with the same layout everywhere. In fact, many of these stores have saved money on staff, allowing us to self-checkout, so we don’t even have to converse with people about their lives and towns anymore. We can continue to interact with our friends and family on the phone, removing ourselves from our current setting. When we’re done shopping, we don’t have to worry about the type of hotel we sleep in at night because we can stay

in the same place everywhere. “Yes, as my profile demonstrates, I like room 518.” Here we are, 24 years after Bill Clinton took office and Hillary is hoping to move back into the White House as Clinton II. Of course, she’s not Bill and she has her own ideas for the country. But it feels as if we’ve been here before, as if we are in another “Star Wars” between the Clintons and the vast right-wing conspiracy she decried all those years ago. Speaking of “Star Wars,” it’s a relief that the current film isn’t as bad as the forgettable three prequels. And yet the plot devices and decisions seem to have come from the recycling bin, albeit with a humble woman from a desert planet who has developed the ability to use the force. Maybe we’ve had enough of the same. Maybe the country has decided to take Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump

Is there such a thing as local flavor anymore? more seriously because we don’t want to be on automatic pilot anymore. Then again, Sanders sounds like the George Steinbrenner character from “Seinfeld” and Trump sounds like, well, himself from TV. Where will we be a year from now? Well, we will probably have another “Star Wars” film; we will have a new president, or maybe a different iteration of something familiar; and we will be somewhere in America, surrounded by familiar stores and choices. Then again, maybe, just maybe, we will make our own decisions and find our own way, without big box retailers and familiar characters and story lines passing in a blur past the windows of our minds.

Where have all the Chinese flowers gone?

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

hinese New Year this week made me think of the Chinese people I had visited this past September, which in turn made me think of the vegetation growing out of their heads, which then made

me smile. We don’t usually think of the Chinese as being frivolous, but there they were, sporting plastic clips on their hair in the shape of vegetables, fruits and flowers. First I thought it was my imagination. Then I guessed it was some sort of fancy head covering. Finally I just stared. People — young people, older people — were walking past us matterof-factly with flowers and weeds growing up out of their heads. Most had one or two; some had half a dozen. That was our first morning on the street outside our hotel in Shanghai. The fad moved with us as we traveled around the country. No one seemed to know how or where it started, although there was some speculation that it began in the southwestern city of Chengdu, known for

its laid-back lifestyle. And in a country in which the people are not particularly known for their individualism, they certainly did stand out on the streets. The plastic vegetation included clover, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, lavender, mushrooms, chilies, cherries, gourds and pine trees, according to an article about the fad that appeared in The New York Times at that time. The trend was ratcheted up when a popular Taiwanese singer, Jay Chou, and his wife were seen wearing bean sprouts in photographs on the Internet. They were “meng meng da.” meaning cute. Bean sprouts are still the most popular item, according to street vendors, who with their native entrepreneurial instincts, leapt into business on street corners and

in gift shops. The rapidly growing fad speaks to the power of the Internet in China to spread trends as well as ideas. “Some people think it’s cute, some think it’s just plain infantile,” one sales assistant was quoted by The Times as she was carefully arranging three flowers and a cherry stem on her friend’s head. The flower clips cost 500 renminbi each, or about 75 cents, unless one is a skillful bargainer in which case one can get perhaps three or four for the same money. Maybe the colorful plastic head gardens offer some respite from the unceasing gray pollution that covers the cities and towns in China. The greens could be seen as a wistful attempt at harmony with nature. For us, they were ready-made conversation pieces.

I guessed it was some sort of fancy head covering. We indicated our admiration to the wearers, and they smiled in appreciation. Quickly the ice was then broken and conversation, often in pantomime, proceeded from there. Taobao, which is a popular Chinese retail website, lists thousands of sellers of increasingly elaborate floral displays for one’s hair, although at this time of year, such ornamentation is probably taking second place to hats. And maybe not, since it was 64 degrees in Shanghai yesterday, warm enough for a garden to grow.
