Gload and A.J Two Local High School Baseball Stars are Currently in the Majors By Dan Rattiner I've been following the careers of two major league baseball players during the last few years. Both are from the Hamptons. They are Ross Gload from East Hampton who, last April, was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies; and A. J. Pierzynski from Bridgehampton, currently the starting catcher for the Chicago White Sox. Pierzynski has been selected for the All Star Game twice in the last decade. He also shared the pain last season of watching his team, leading the division in late August, nose dive in 45 days completely out of the running and down into the bottom of the division. The White Sox lose again. Ross Gload was raised in Springs on Harrison Avenue where his father worked as a carpenter and his mother was a teacher at the Springs School. When he was very young, it was apparent to all that he had a gift for playing baseball. He went to East Hampton High School and in his senior year, playing first base, was selected as the best high school baseball player in Suffolk County. In the 28-game season, he hit 20 home runs and had nearly 100 runs batted in. From East Hampton High School he won a baseball scholarship to the University of South Florida where, in his three years on the varsity baseball team, he hit nearly .400. After college, he tried out for the majors but, surprisingly, didn't make it. It was speculated at the time that, at 6' 1", he was not big enough. Also, the toughest spot to get ahead from is first base, because the best sluggers in the majors who lack fielding skills wind up learning that position. As a result, it's tough to take that position away from a regular in that spot. Gload played ball for a number of minor league teams for two years, and then was brought up by the Chicago Cubs where he had a dismal start. The year was 2000. He struck out 10 times in 31 trips to the plate and batted only .194 before the Cubs sent him back down to the minors. Two years later, however, he was back, playing with the Colorado Rockies and this time, he stayed. They found that he did very well as a pinch hitter. The thing about Gload, however, is that his bat can suddenly get very hot. He could be hitting around .225 when suddenly he's hitting over .400. That happened in 2004 with the Chicago White Sox. In the second half of the season, when his pinch-hitting was sensational, they brought him in as the starting first baseman, and he proceeded to continue to streak. He tapered off in late September and October, but he wound up sharp." A. J. Pierzynski was born and raised in Bridgehampton but did not go to high school here. His father and mother owned a potato farm, but when he was 12, they sold it and moved to Florida. Pierzynski went to a baseball camp, Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, and in the same year that Gload won the title of Best Player in Suffolk County, Pierzynski won the title in Orlando County. (They were the same age. They might have faced one another.) Pierzynski got a scholarship to attend the University of Tennessee, but at the same time, in the mid-'90s, he was drafted by the Minnesota Twins. He chose the Twins over college. Pierzynski spent four years in the minors being groomed for the Minnesota Twins and finally, in 1998, two years before Gload's disastrous debut with the Cubs, he became the backup catcher for the Twins. In that role, Pierzynski's batting average hovered around .300 and so when the 2001 season arrived, he became the starting catcher-- a colorful, enthusiastic, aggressive and some might say obnoxious one. And he continued to hit about .300. The Twins found him electrifying, but after awhile, just too hot to handle. He'd get into fights in the dugout. He'd get thrown out of games on the field for arguing--once actually over a foul ball. Amazingly, Pierzynski was traded to the San Francisco Giants, the home of intellectuals, cappuccino, gay pride and art. He lasted there a year before the media in Frisco hooted him out of town, and then he was traded again, this time to the Chicago White Sox, whose coach famously said "if you play against A. J., you hate him, and if you play with him, you hate him a little less. But he's been great for me. He's worth the work." On another occasion, at the end of a parade cel(continued on page 14) The same year Gload won the title of Best Player in Suffolk County, Pierzynski won the title in Orlando. with a batting average of .321. From there, until the present day, he has been working primarily as a pinch hitter and utility player. He is particularly effective batting against left-handers. Last year, playing for the Florida Marlins, he batted .329 against lefties. It is for this reason that this year, the Philadelphia Phillies, who won the National League pennant this year (then lost the World Series to the Yankees), have hired him for a two-year contract. "He will likely come to bat in the late innings against lefthanders almost every game," the coach said. "And several times a week we will have him play much of a game, to keep him DAN'S PAPERS, February 19, 2010 Page 10 www.danshamptons.com South O' the Highway (and the North too) 1318636 Southampton's Howard Stern has been receiving criticism from "American Idol" fans opposed to the radio shock jock joining the judges' table next season.

DAN'S PAPERS, February 19, 2010 Page 11 www.danshamptons.com Waddaya Want? Like Everyone Else, Hamptonites Apparently Have No Idea By Dan Rattiner Sometimes I wonder if people know what the hell it is that they want. Out here, they love shopping at farm stands for fresh local vegetables and they love going down to the docks to get a fresh fish to saut� for dinner, and then they complain about the hardworking people who bring it to them. The latest of this sort of thing comes from John Talmage, who is fighting to stop a farm stand from sprouting up on some farmland on Cedar Street, near to where he lives. "I won't support allowing a farm stand to become a grocery store," he said. Nobody said it was going to become a grocery store. It is an 11-acre parcel that was bought by the town to keep it from being a housing development. The purchase was based on allowing it to have a farm use. Subsequently, the town made a lease with Diane Russo to run a farm and farm stand there. She plans to graze horses on the land, build a stable for them and put up a stand by the side of the road that, according to the code in East Hampton, cannot be more than 10 x 20 feet in size and cannot have walls--which means it's not going to be much more than a farm wagon with a makeshift canopy over the top. Vegetables and fruits and other items can be sold from a farm stand, according to the code. Talmage argues that another way of looking at this is that he is owner of part of the land because he is a taxpayer and taxpayer money from a real estate tax fund was used to save this property. "If they want to use the property as a summer pasture, that would be all right," he said. Others might disagree even with that. I recall, a few years ago, that a summer person with a house at the intersection of Dayton Lane and Toilsome Lane in East Hampton essentially harassed a newly constructed farm stand--a wagon, really--across from her house so much that the farmer simply gave it up, even though it was legal. He was selling corn, as I recall. She complained that all the cars and shoppers there bothered her peace and quiet. People harassing farm stands years ago in Southampton created such a fuss that elaborate farm stand laws were passed, including such sections of the law that said farmers could only have a stand if more than 60% of what they sold was from the farm directly behind them. Farm stand inspectors go out, I suppose. They count the strawberry plants and multiply by whatever, then inspect the stand to see what's what. They look for people secretly selling maple syrup or eggs from a chicken from somewhere else. It's pretty bizarre. People complain about polo fields, about horses whinnying, about manure. They complain about flower farms--the most recent fight was over one that got approved for Ocean Avenue in Bridgehampton. I recall one woman going to a motel office in Montauk in the middle of the night to complain about the loudness of the ocean surf. People will complain about anything. At the present time, people want to go out in fishing boats, but they don't want any new docks being proposed at a place called Dockers in East Quogue, which already has docks. "That much docks is enough," somebody said. "Maybe it is even too much." People don't want potato farmers out there spraying the crops and they certainly don't want to have to look out their windows at shabbily dressed workers digging up potatoes. They just want it "further off," so they can drive to it if necessary. (continued on page 24) SMALL BUT IMPORTANT HAMPTONS STORIES By Dan Rattiner DANNY OUT Danny Murray, the popular restauranteur and tenant at the Poxabogue Golf Course, is not going to be there after his lease expires in March. "I'm tired of fighting," he said. "I can't afford the lawyers. I'll have nothing to do with Ed Wankel." The people he would have to fight are the Towns of East and Southampton, who have decided to go with the choice of a new lessee, Mike Avella, who currently owns and runs the Love Lane Kitchens in Mattituck and is the choice of the lessee of the entire golf complex in Sagaponack. Avella, who is popular on the North Fork and runs a good ship in Mattituck, will have two locations this summer. He will pay an increased rent, make more than $100,000 in renovations, and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner in hopes of acquiring a second liquor license for this site, a plan that will require approval of the Village of Sagaponack. SHINNECOCKS The Shinnecock Indian Nation, which has gotten the go ahead from the Federal Government about National Recognition, has been discussing future locations for a possible gambling casino somewhere in New York State. One such location, put forward by the Nassau County Executive, was the Aqueduct Race Track near the Queens/Nassau border. With the tribe in charge there, Aqueduct could have roulette, blackjack and the other more glamorous kinds of gambling tables. Without a tribal connection, it could not, but it could have slot machines and other games of chance. In the end, there were five applicants to become lessees at Aqueduct, and Governor Patterson announced last week that the winner was not a tribe, but an outfit called Aqueduct Entertainment Group (AEG), a group of busi(continued on page 22) DAN'S PAPERS, February 19, 2010 Page 12 www.danshamptons.com R i pp ed from the archives!

Lutz and Kim Robotti. 32-Foot Eel Caught Great Ecuadorian Eel Loses Encounter with Authorities at Georgica First published in Dan's Papers Feb. 5, 1999 By Dan Rattiner The Great Ecuadorian Eel that we wrote about three weeks ago in this newspaper, all 32 feet of him, was captured on the beach in Wainscott last Friday morning after a considerable struggle that left one dead and six injured. Regular readers will recall the story in this newspaper on January 15. The ponds had frozen over. And up at Big Mill Pond in Water Mill, an ice fisherman from Bay Shore was pulled to his death one night by some kind of florescent green creature that had leaped out of the hole and wrapped itself around his leg and pulled him under. The next night, a police officer, part of the team that was looking for the fisherman's body, was dragged under. And by the next night, when a black lab was pulled under in Little Mill Pond, officials were sure they were dealing with a rare, 32-foot long eel that had wandered up from Ecuador due to the unseasonable weather. As he was on the endangered species list, Peconic County Environmental Officer Dr. Edgar Witkiss vowed at a press conference that he would be captured alive rather than taken down. The appearance of this article in Dan's Papers three weeks ago elicited more than 300 phone calls, about half of them to the newspaper and half to the Peconic County Eel Hotline, which we had accidentally set up with the wrong phone number. Riverhead Bay Motors, the major Volkswagen dealer in the area, fielded these calls. About half the callers were angry that we had written about the eel, apparently, believing the story was true, but then, since it had not appeared in any other media, that it was untrue. They described us as the scum of the earth for having made it up. The other half also seemed certain that we had made the story up, but were nevertheless quite amused that we had enlivened a bleak winter by doing so. "Tell us where he is,'' one caller said. ``I've got a truck full of rednecks and we'll catch him for you.'' "I've got the eel's head,'' another caller said. "What's it worth to you.'' Channel Seven Eyewitness News also called on Friday afternoon. They had been swamped with calls. We had a little talk with them. Unfortunately, we did not make this story up, and as the days went by, the eel was reported in Mecox Bay, in Sagg Pond and in Kellis Pond. Also, unfortunately, even though the county had three helicopters each working eight-hour shifts to spot the animal, all attempts to capture him, until Friday anyway, proved futile. You may have heard the sirens of the fire engines and the police cars as they raced this way and that, always just a few seconds after the fluorescent-green back of this Great Ecuadorian disappeared beneath the surface of the pond once again. On Thursday, at the invitation of Dr. Edgar Witkiss, Dr. Franklin Wreckson flew in from the University of Missouri Department of Amphibian Studies, to try to reason with the eel. Wreckson is the world-renowned endangered species research scientist who has written three sensational books about the Great Ecuadorian and his attempts, quite successful actually, to communicate with them at his institute in Ohio. He was put up at the Shinnecock Winds Motel on Route 27A for the night. Accompanying him was his daughter Jennifer. At 8 a.m. on Friday morning, the beginning of a sunny day with westerly winds, the County helicopter reported that the Great Ecuadorian was in the Atlantic Ocean, struggling in the surf there. A storm was expected in the afternoon. Seas were rough. They don't have these kinds of waves in Ecuador. By 8:45 a.m., more than 200 people were down at the beach, including Bridgehampton paramedics, county police officers, firemen, six baymen with giant nets, three fire trucks and the entire staff of Dan's Papers. There was also Dr. Edgar Witkiss and Dr. Wreckson, the Peconic County Police with tear gas guns and a 40-man contingent from the National Guard in Westhampton, armed with semi-automatic weapons. Sometimes, nature behaves in strange ways. After all these days of trying to capture the giant eel, there he was, exhausted in the surf, slowly struggling to get to safety up the beach. He'd start toward the beach, but then a great roller would come in and the backwash would pull him back out. Meanwhile, at the back of the beach, there didn't seem to be anyone in charge. Suddenly, all six baymen, without anybody telling them to do so, ran down into the surf carrying a haul seining net, and with the sea swirling around their rubber waders, threw the net over the eel. "No, no,'' Dr. Wreckson yelled, "you're frightening him.'' Wreckson ran forward, and the eel became temporarily distracted, turning his head and focusing great yellow eyes on the scientist. But then Wreckson's daughter Jennifer, ran out of the crowd and grabbed Dr. Wreckson around the waist, shouting at him. "Dad, he'll kill you,'' she screamed.

I picked up a bottle of Icelandic Glacial water in a deli in Southampton the other day, looking it over in anticipation of buying it. It was in between Fiji Water and Evian Water, all waters trucked from halfway around the planet to satiate our finicky palates. On the front is a label reading CARBON NEUTRAL. It is in green. Drink all you want. You will be contributing to the continued existence of the planet by not drinking some of that other stuff that sends carbon billowing up into the atmosphere. Well, technically, they are correct. This water, MADE FROM PURE ISLANDIC GLACIERS, as it says, is neither plus or minus in the carbon department. It also sports no calories, is completely organic and contains neither pesticides of growth hormones. Drink up. But what a joke this is to make a buck. You can drink the water that falls right from the sky here in the Hamptons, and that's carbon neutral, too. Indeed, some years ago an effort was made by a businessman to create pure, healthy, "Hamptons Water," just as it comes from the sky, to be shipped, I suppose, off to those poor folks in Fiji, Iceland and France who just can't get along without it. The businessman was going to get the water from under the ground where the rain leaches it, in the Pine Barrens of Westhampton, but of course, the authorities, probably drinking water shipped here in bottles from the fjords of Norway while they considered the matter, turned it all down. So here's how they get the carbon neutral Icelandic water, fresh from the glacier and right to your door. You might think they send climbers up those glaciers with pick axes to cut away chunks and send it thundering down to the waiting trucks on the ice roads below. Polar bears would stare at them amazed if they did that. But they don't. What they do do is simply wait while the glacier continues to melt, thanks to the effects of the already-elevated global warming levels. It melts now off the glacier in alarming torrents, and the businessmen there funnel it into bottling factories where it goes along through filters and purifiers and into the little bottles which are then capped and labeled and put into big boxes a dozen to a case for shipping all over the world. You can see the freighters bearing the heavy containers that have Islandic Water into the Port of New York. All you have to do is go down to the ocean beach and look out toward the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean. Every hour or two there is a heavy supertanker going by, plowing (continued on next page) RELIEF FOR BEACHES IN SIGHT, BUT OUT OF REACH By T.J. Clemente Beach erosion is an issue that appears to become more alarming each summer for many reasons, including the value people put on owning beachfront property. The erosion topic can rarely be raised without someone talking about how, in their lifetime, much of their favorite beach has been washed away. Larry Penny, East Hampton's Director of Natural Resources, has two distinct views on beach erosion. First, at this time of year, he says it looks worse than it is because the natural replenishment of sand on the beaches hasn't yet happened. I've sat in Penny's office and listened to him reassure me that, before Memorial Day, the sand will naturally return to the beaches. On the other hand, I've heard him explain that certain storms have caused long-term alterations to the shoreline--as in the Soundview section of Montauk where erosion is beginning to truly compromise the safety and integrity of structures. Motel owners in Montauk who watch as their homes and businesses become unnervingly closer to the breaking waves each season understand the perils of a shifting shoreline, as do owners of large estates on Further Lane and Lily Pond Lane in East Hampton, Gin Lane in Southampton, and Dune Road in Westhampton. But most casual beach goers aren't as troubled by erosion at the public beaches, since they don't hold title to real estate that may be lost to the rising sea. Many think of it as a problem for the "very rich," and that limited town resources shouldn't be spent to combat beach loss. Once, at an East Hampton Town long range planning board meeting in Montauk, I watched a handful of motel and home owners, fearing the effect on the village of Montauk business area and homes, express concerns to town officials who, quite frankly, listened, made notes, and did nothing. In fact, when I contacted Congressman Tim Bishop's office on the Save the Montauk Lighthouse Revetment Project, a staff person told me that the Federal money has been authorized and State Assemblyman Fred Thiele confirmed that state money is authorized. But the town of East Hampton has not authorized its few million dollars for the project as of yet. Just recently, Ed Edahl, a Public Information Officer of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, came by Dan's Papers offices to drop off a FEMA Disaster Assistance Fact Sheet concerning "Eligible Sand Replacement on Public Beaches." The plan, using money from the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, is, "a program to fund replacement of sand on damaged public beaches under certain conditions." Penny confirmed that he received the fact sheet and that the program was being "looked into." I doubt it's a priority for the Town at the moment. Sooner or later this issue will have to be (continued on page 20) DAN'S PAPERS, February 19, 2010 Page 14 www.danshamptons.com Icebergs (continued from previous page) Gload the Hamptons. Just so long as it's not from Iceland. How stupid are we? Real stupid. Besides, global warming is not our problem--it is the government's problem. I'm just here getting the best water that I can for my family. After all, we've ruined enough of the earth. Some water that comes out of the ground (not in the Hamptons, of course), is polluted with chemicals and cannot be drunk. I have to do something. And so I am just anticipating the day when water will be so polluted here I will be unable to drink it, when I'll have to drink water trucked in from, uh, Iceland. Drink water from Iceland and save the earth. But, you know what? The earth is just fine. A billion years from now it will still be spinning on its orbit, circling the sun--a little worse for wear, perhaps, but nevertheless. It's just that there might not be any people on this planet. If there are no people, there will surely be a whole new species of creatures who are either immune to carbon overload or are just so smart that they all solved this problem, unlike their human predecessors--may they rest in peace. These supercreatures have smiles on their faces, drinks of pure water in their hands, or paws. They imagine while they drink those local waters of the natives of Iceland who wear those wooden shoes, or used to wear those wooden shoes. Isn't it Iceland where those extinct people with the wooden shoes came from? I put the Icelandic Glacial water back on the rack in the deli cooler. No water from Iceland for me. Now I have done my part. I think I'll get myself a scotch to celebrate. (continued from page 9) through the water, perhaps pushing through a rainstorm, burning up the worst diesel fuel imaginable to provide the power to propel this enormous quarter-mile long ship. It is the worst, smokiest and most polluting fuel imaginable because this fuel is the leftover fuel unfit to be used on land where the fumes, sent out into the streets of the world, could kill you. At sea, of course, it just goes into the big vast sky over the ocean. No big deal. And the stuff is cheap. Good for the bottom line. There was the loading up of this ship in the port of Rejkavik, with bulldozers and cranes and payloaders and forklifts doing the heavy work, and there will be the unloading of this ship in the Port of New York with bulldozers and cranes and payloaders and forklifts. Trucks will then be loaded up to carry these boxes to the delis and restaurants and supermarkets that have ordered them. Then it's on to us. What you pay for this water, of course, is just what it cost to get it to you. As with everywhere on the planet, the water, as it falls, is free. We all know that. It's right here, high overhead, in the fluffy clouds that float by and occasionally dump a downpour of the stuff down through the lower atmosphere onto you. All you have to do is stand outside and open your mouth and slurp in some of the purest water on the earth. Of course, it is not so pure as Icelandic water made from glaciers. Although, in the time-honored tradition of `the grass is always greener on the other side,' those in Iceland are happy to get the better water from Italy or Switzerland or New Zealand, or even the glorious, misty hills of ebrating the White Sox's victory in the World Series in 2005, Pierzynski took the microphone and said, "I want to thank my team personnel for putting up with me." And then there were the brawls. On one occasion, Pierzynski rounded third and headed for home to face the opposing catcher, Michael Barrett, who already had the ball. Pierzynski took good aim, slid into Barrett knocking the ball free and, in his enthusiasm, after crossing home plate, reached back and slapped it. As a result Barrett hit him, which resulted in a fist fight, a brawl from both teams and the ejection of four players, including Pierzynski and Barrett. In 2002, in a season where he would again bat .300, he was selected to play in the All Star Game. He was selected again to play in the All Star game in 2006. Last year, for the third time in his 12-year Major League career, Pierzynski, an undoubtedly colorful character, again batted .300, even though his team collapsed in October after leading the league. Both men are now 33 and married with children. I've been interested to follow the baseball careers of several Hamptonites, ever since Carl Yastrzemski, son of a Bridgehampton potato farmer and star outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, won the Triple Crown in 1967--the last ball player ever to do so. The most home runs, the most runs batted in and the highest batting average in the league in the same year. These two have been in the hunt to follow in his footsteps. Wait until next year.

Legend has it that Viking fishing crews may have been the first to see these shores, but then too, they most likely saw the Native Americans already here, fishing for food for their settlements. In 1800, when the world's population was 900 million, over-fishing was almost impossible. However today, with a world population of 6.709 BILLION (2008 U.N. figure), over fishing is within the realm of posBoats in Montauk sibility. With super-fishing vessels from Japan and Russia playing by their own rules, and the efficiency of the wise, seasoned American commercial fishermen, the Federal Government and state fisheries departments took steps to limit fish catches, shorten seasons, and created paperwork meant to control the fish population, protect it, and perhaps even replenish it. However, bureaucrats are known to create policy based on numbers that have little to do with the reality of fishermen on the open seas. East End fishermen have cursed punishing winter storms while doing their jobs, while we benefit from their labors. In the last five years, disaster struck in two main areas--the fluctuating cost of fuel at historic high prices, and bizarre government regulation lowering catches. Recently, commercial fishermen from around the nation, including Montauk, went to Washington to protest having their hands tied as they compete with foreign fishing fleets playing by other rules, rules often more lenient than ours. The main culprit seems to be the 1976 Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries and Conservation Act, which started the present clustering of paper work, rules and restrictions that seem to have been overseen with overzealous enforcement by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA.) But just this January, the U.S. Dept. of Commerce Inspector General's office found that perhaps fishermen in the Northeast had been over-fined by the NOAA. Now spotlighted as being over officious, the NOAA has become more reasonable in interpreting the laws and enforcing them--not to amass monies from heavy fines, but to regulate commercial fishing in the Northeast. One new change is the catch limit of fluke. Until now, commercial fishermen were bound by a 70 pound daily limit for the fish, but the new regulation allows fishermen an aggregate 1,200 pounds of fluke per week. Now, captains of vessels that used to take up to 15 hours to get out and back to the fishing grounds won't have to curtail their work to stay within that 24-hour period of a per day catch. Once at sea, they can fish as long as they're able, until the full weekly quota is reached--without fear of a crippling fine. Local Montauk fishermen believe this gives smaller commercial vessels a better chance at competing against the larger, faster boats that had a huge advantage under the daily rule. Both Congressman Tim Bishop and State Photo by T.J. Clemente BUSINESS Givin' You the Local Fishing Industry Catches a Break Assemblyman Fred Thiele have been on the forefront fighting the Obama Administration on the daily quota issue that came to a head when fuel topped $5 a gallon last year, leaving many commercial vessels in Montauk boatyards. I was in Liar's Saloon last winter, listening to a crew of five who were out fishing for a week to reach their quota. After selling all the fish, each man had to chip in $147 to pay for the fuel! That was a bleak moment in the commercial fishing industry in Montauk, as it was on the Shinnecock Inlet. With the "Cumulative Quota" program still deemed experimental, fishermen are hoping to raise some revenue to make much needed repairs on their aging fleet of commercial vessels. The recent business environment made investing in these costly repairs nearly impossible. Montauk fisherman Jeff Bline told me, "When you're at sea in a bad winter storm and something critical breaks, you don't call anyone on a phone. You got to fix it." Then he smiled, commenting on fishing way off shore in harsh conditions, "There are no atheists in a storm." It's good for the East End economy that these intrepid fishermen have finally caught a break from the bureaucrats. 1318629 DAN'S PAPERS, February 19, 2010 Page 16 www.danshamptons.com 32-Foot Eel (continued from page 12) "No he won't,'' Dr. Wreckson yelled back at her. "He's our friend.'' But Jennifer held tight and Dr. Wreckson could go no further. The eel now focused his full attention at the pair, glaring at them and rising up into the sky about 15 feet in a kind of arching motion, which sent the fishermen's net flying over his back and off to the side. The baymen, holding tightly to the the ends, were pulled up with the net to come crashing down on the sand with great force. "You're hurting him!'' Dr. Wreckson shouted at them. "I've seen enough,'' the Corporal from the National Guard said from the back of the beach. "Lock and load and prepare to fire.'' "No, no,'' Dr. Wreckson shouted, turning around. At this point, fear apparently took hold of his daughter Jennifer and she let him go and fled back into the crowd crying and sobbing. The eel shrieked again but Dr. Wreckson walked bravely forward toward him. He held out his arms and looked up at the eel. "Nobody is going to hurt you,'' he said. "We are your friends. We come in peace.'' The eel looked down at Dr. Wreckson and a drip of saliva formed at the corner of his mouth. The baymen, all six of them, were moaning and groaning from their injuries only a few feet away by this time, but seemed unable to crawl away. The fire chief saw what was about to happen. "Don't shoot,'' Chief James shouted to the National Guardsmen. "You'll hit the baymen.'' "I can reason with him,'' Dr. Wreckson said. And then he began talking in some very strange language. He made a series of clicks and hisses. The eel cocked its head to one side. Now James ordered the firemen to roll several panels of turkey wire out flat on the ground between Dr. Wreckson and all the onlookers. "Get those long battery cables,'' he shouted to an Assistant. "Electrify the wire. That should protect the crowd. And if he comes forward at least we can stun him.'' Dr. Wreckson turned back to the crowd. "See?'' he shouted. "He just wants somebody to talk to him.'' And at that moment, the giant eel leaned forward, opened his mouth and from behind, with a sickening crunching sound, ate Dr. Wreckson in one gulp. Jennifer screamed. "Lock and load, lock and load,'' the Colonel kept repeating. Sweat streaked down the Colonel's face from under his helmet. And now the eel came toward him, making some sort of eerie cackling sound and slithering right onto the turkey wire. "Hit the switch!'' James yelled. Instantly, the firemen started the fire trucks and electricity surged into the wire and into the eel. The eel jerked backwards, and then pulled himself up to his full height again, this time shrieking in pain. Now the police fired dozens of canisters of tear gas at him, many of which struck the eel and fell to the ground, belching out great quantities of smoke. The baymen lying near by coughed and sputtered. The eel sneezed. "Keep it going!'' James yelled at the firemen. They gunned the truck engines. The shriek began again after the sneeze and lasted for a long time, the eel's body shaking and quivering and a greenish glow forming around it. Pretty soon there was the smell of something burning. The eel fell over. Dead. Now the paramedics ran forward, running past the Giant Ecuadorian, and they reached the baymen, injured and coughing, and quickly dragged them to safety. Meanwhile, Chief James ran to the eel, smoke still pouring out of him, and he pulled up short. The eel was still breathing. "He's not dead,'' he shouted back up the beach. "He's just knocked unconscious. Get the firehoses. Tie him up. Quick, before he wakes up. And lets get some paramedics down here to do some mouth to mouth." Working with the precision that years of drilling have trained them for, the firemen had the eel trussed and tied in a matter of minutes. And the paramedics, also working quickly, worked to revive him. Soon the eel let out a soft groan. Now they lifted him up, and as he wriggled slowly, carried him over to a flatbed truck where they set him down, folded him over three times so he would fit, and lashed him in. Then they drove him away. By the time the eel awakened, he was in a railroad boxcar filled with water on a siding of the Long Island Rail Road just to the east of the Bridgehampton Station. He is there today, four days later. "The eel is up and eating,'' County Environmental Officer Witkiss said. "He doesn't seem to be aware that he has eaten Dr. Wreckson. And we would like to get him out of here, to the University of Missouri Department of Amphibian Studies, which has promised to (continued on page 18) t esWEEK anS R Be included in H A M PT aur ON I Need to get out of the city for the Summer and buy a second home I just bought a great new house on the East End that I found thru EastEndHomeFinder.com They have thousands of listings! t expanded Dining Log for 3/19/10 a rc 8 h 2 1st to 2 Get more BANG for your buck! 50% OFF to celebrate our 50 PLUS th th Your ad as low as $110 per week* A Free Expanded Listing in Dan's Dining Log M * Must run 4 consecutive weeks Anniversary Call 631-537-0500 for more information 1318635 1318634 DAN'S PAPERS, February 19, 2010 Page 17 www.danshamptons.com Black History Lives in Sag Neighborhoods By T.J. Clemente The sounds of freedom were once only the whispers of human cargo--slaves traveling the underground railroad just before the Civil War. Strong willed men and women risked whippings and hangings to escape cruel servitude and taste the freedom denied them by flesh peddlers and slave owners. In Charleston, South Carolina still stands the auction block where slaves right off the boat from Africa where sold like cattle. In Sag Harbor there are other monuments--not to the human tragedy but to hope. Still standing are the churches and homes that bravely, proudly took in both freed and "underground railroad" slaves. The freed blacks who came to Sag Harbor in the mid-19th century often served as crew on the Village's famed whaling fleet, or manned hot fires and trypots that turned whale blubber into oil in town. Herman Melville described Sag Harbor as a dangerous town at night, because it seemed so foreign along its wharf. With freedom may come economic success for many in Sag Harbor. Eastville is one of the oldest Native and African American settlements on all of Long Island. According to Sag Harbor Village historians, the Shinnecocks, Montauks and Africans who made up the majority of whaleboat crews settled in Eastville, a little neighborhood fanning out from Hempstead Street and down to the harbor. It was here that runaway slaves and fugitives from wrecked slave ships found their sanctity. By the late 1880s, the community began to draw a stream of black vacationers, many from Brooklyn. Blacks were welcomed in Eastville, but didn't receive as warm a reception in the posh Sag Harbor hotels. However the "Ivy Cottage," just past the intersection of Hempstead and Hampton Streets, was a popular inn/restaurant for black tourists. Another section just outside Sag Harbor sprang up for those looking to make the area their permanent homes. In the mid-20th century, Elsie B. Gale and her son Daniel owned the 20-acre tract of wooded land. Maude K. Terry, a New York City schoolteacher who spent summers in Eastville with her grandchildren, enjoyed her place in the woods east of the neighborhood and down to the water. She developed a special affection for the area and eventually put into action a plan to develop a black summer colony there. When the land couldn't be sold in one piece, Terry approached the Gales with a plan to subdivide it and help sell the lots to her friends and colleagues in Brooklyn. The Gales agreed and the rest is Sag Harbor history. In November 1947, the first mapping of Terry's vision was printed up using some of the Indian trails that for generations stretched through the area. That became the first streets of Azurest. Beachfront lots went for $1,000 in 1948, inland lots sold for $750. Terry bought the first lot--right on the beach at the corner of Terry Drive and Walker Avenue. That started a tradition that still holds to this day. Sag Harbor Hills was developed after that, then Ninevah Beach. Chatfield's Hill, on the other side of Route 114, was next, and nearby Hillcrest Terrace was developed in the 1970s. The areas became the landing spot for elite members of the black community who didn't have to deal with not being accepted in the neighborhood nor denials from real estate agents who, still in that era, supported segregation. Living in these areas became a badge of honor and prestige in the black community because of Terry's legacy. There was a pride that came along with owning in that area, and these neighborhoods are among the oldest still-thriving African American resorts in the country. To this day, Black Americans from all over the country spend vacation time in these Sag Harbor resort colonies, enjoying its comfort, history and charm. The list of notables who vacation and have homes there reads almost like the Black Social Register. Today, even in this turbulent real estate market, homes in these areas are selling well and prices have maintained their values due to the cache of owning one. There is a special value to trophy homes and, make no doubt about it, to some members of the black community these homes are trophies of their arrival in America as winners. It is a wonderful part of the mosaic of American culture, and the fabric of the East End, that developed not from some federal affirmative action program, but from the wisdom of an elderly black school teacher with a vision.

With a Dad famous for stories about a subway in the Hamptons that doesn't exist, I always felt like I'm on the inside of a Hamptons hoax. But the other day I got a text message from Tom Swinimer, Dan's circulation manager, that read, "Dave, Hooters is opening up in Bridgehampton down the street from the office." Oh my God that would be amazing, I thought. It can't be true though, the town would never allow it. But dear God, would having a Hooters show up in the Hamptons be a game changer. Few things in life beat a Hooters. I texted back, "It can't be true man. Obviously somebody is messing with you." My cell phone vibrated against my thigh. I reached into my pocket, opened up a text from Tom and OOHHHH BOY, I saw the picture--a sign that read, "Coming Soon. Hooters!" hanging in front of the service station right down the street from the Dan's Papers office on 27. "Oh my God," I texted back. The chain reaction that took place after can only be described as ambitious. How can I do a restaurant review for the paper? Maybe I could work there part time. Would I become a Hooters guy? Would that be wrong? I had a vision of Tom and me on our lunch break, slinging back 60 spicy chicken wings while watching a football game and being served drinks by Hooters girls. I had a vision of the protests outside of the restaurant. I had a vision of how I would organize a counter protest in support of Hooters. I could call the Montauk Rugby team and the Sag Harbor Fire Departments. They'd have my back. I e-mailed several friends of mine about the news, including a friend who works for The New York Times. As far as I was concerned, this was frontpage New York Times news. This could be a TV show! We could call it "Hooters in the Hamptons," GENIUS! I made a mental note to copyright the title. THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME... I admit it, this writer--born in Southampton, raised in Springs, brainwashed since I was five years old that corporate chains are bad for the area and for locals--really believed that a Hooters was coming to Bridgehampton. And then reality set in. The following Monday I'd received about 10 emails explaining that Hooters was not coming and that Albert McCoy, the owner of the building, said the sign was put up as a joke. He also stressed that he wasn't the one who put it up. Riiighhht. I'm sad but relieved because first come the Hooters, then come the Walmarts, and you know what? The Hamptons has given in enough to these kinds of things. Walking down Main Street in East Hampton is like walking through an issue of Vanity Fair. But this idea can't die. There's got to be something we can do! A local out there needs to start a restaurant called "Bikinis" this summer. That might pass and would keep it local. Then again that name probably wouldn't pass. You'd have to call it, "Cardigans." That might fly. One can dream.

"But it turns out that the City of New York has a law against transporting any eel over 20-feet long across Manhattan Island without a special permit. We have applied for the permit and there will be a hearing next week, which, Mayor Giuliani says he will do his best to get issued, although, as he says, it is the special permit board's decision. "In the meantime, anyone with chunks of meat, chicken, kelp or bait fish that they would like to donate, are welcome to bring it to the Group for the Hamptons, which has set up a special pantry and refrigeration facility here on Sagg Main Street for this endangered and surely confused eel.'' Jennifer Wreckson, by the way, after a day in the Southampton Hospital Emergency Room, where she was treated for shock, denial and hysteria, has been released and returned to Missouri to make preparations for her father's funeral and for the arrival of the Great Ecuadorian. Needless to say, the flag at the Department of Amphibian Studies is flying at half mast. The reporter asked Dr. Witkiss, the environmental officer, what would happen if New York City refused transport to the eel. "I guess we'd have to consider sneaking across in disguise, or just tagging and releasing him back into the sea," Witkiss replied. (The above story is not true. �Ed.)

This was the first of what will be many, many anniversary events. In any case, many of those attending, either arriving or leaving with baked goods, came by subway, and at the end of the day the maintenance people had their own little party of various cookies and muffins left behind. TWO PRESIDENTS In honor of President's Day, our new marketing director, Vince Vaughn, a veteran from radio station KLAD in Los Angeles, decided to invite two of our past living presidents to come and ride the subway around and around to honor the day. It would be just two Presidents, of course, because President's Day honors just two Presidents, Washington and Lincoln. But which two to invite? There are five living presidents. Vaughn decided to send out an invitation to all of them, figuring that just two would accept and then we could go ahead with it. But just days after the invites went out, all five said they would be pleased to attend. This presented a new problem. Which three do you have to turn away? Vaughn met with our commissioner and several other advisors, and the debate went on for days. Some said don't invite Carter. Others said invite Carter but not the two Bushes. Still others said you can't have Clinton. They were all still debating this when the day passed. So there was no event. On the other hand, one of the five Presidents did show up, even though we did not confirm that he was one of those selected. We turned him away. But to avoid any embarrassment here, we won't mention which of the five it was, although you could probably guess. The Commissioner later opined that we should have done decorations and festivities and planned speeches just in case one of them did show up, as he did, and because Vaughn did not do so, the Commissioner fired him. "Such a debacle," Commissioner Aspinall said. HOUSING FOR MARKETING DIRECTORS Vince Vaughn was the seventeenth marketing director that Hampton Subway has had in the last two years, and one of the negatives of always firing them is that they've moved here from afar and taken a lease on a house, so that when they leave, the Subway system is stuck with the rest of the year's rent. As a result of this, the Commissioner, finally, (continued on page 24) addressed by the town, not only because it affects the very wealthy, but because it is the function of good government to be concerned with everybody's property rights. Many people believe that if someone is rich enough and dumb enough to buy property too close to the ocean, it's not the public's responsibility to bail them out should a storm or hurricane cause damage. Perhaps East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson should encourage the board to look more actively into the available federal money and attend to the beaches. As for creating a task force to address overall town beach/property erosion long term, who could fault the board for looking into the dilemmas facing so many residents with extensive waterfront exposure? Prohibiting bulkhead creation, dock expansion and jetty creations has served some purposes, but perhaps at a cost to homeowners on the water's edge. I sat in a historic hearing recently where both the Town Board and Town Trustees met to discuss a revetment proposal on Louse Point Road. One Trustee advisor suggested it was too soon to act--the home was still more than 10-feet away from falling into Gardiner's Bay. He said that when it gets closer, he might be inclined to agree to permit the needed revetment, for which the owner would pay $700,000 of her own money to construct. The point is, valuable homes all around the Hamptons are at risk and need some attention. Mr. Edahl felt the need to get the word out. Perhaps town officials should give it a few grains of consideration. DAN'S PAPERS, February 19, 2010 Page 21 www.danshamptons.com MusicHampton? I Think I'm Dreaming By Susan M. Galardi Over the weekend, I heard an amazing variety of good music. A stride pianist of international repute played a free concert in an idyllic setting with beautiful natural acoustics. A uniquely talented singer/songwriter with great vocals and top-tier musicians rocked a music club. Four classical singers with international credentials presented a recital of 20th century American Art Songs. And it was all in the Hamptons. In one weekend. In February. Pinch me. I must be dreaming. But I wasn't. While the city dizzies you with options, the Hamptons in the off-season typically numbed you with limitations. For years, winter weekends in the Hamptons meant movies, bars or 12-step meetings--usually in that order. But now, even in these challenging economic times, clubs and cultural institutions are keeping it alive for all of us, year round. The first show I heard was one of Wolffer Estate's Candlelight Fridays series where, starting at 5 p.m., the lovely tasting room is open, with musicians playing and Wolffer wines flowing. It's one of the prettiest venues out here for music, which can be enjoyed at no charge. On Feb. 12, Judy Carmichael played a full set of stride piano on an outrageously gorgeous-sounding Steinway concert grand, and treated the audience with a few of her sultry vocals. The atmosphere in the place is casual and friendly-- not to mention crowded for this show. Friends Robert Comes Inda Eaton rocked it, Judy Carmichael tore it up, on a dream music weekend in the Hamptons and strangers made room at their precious tables for others to pull up a chair. It felt like a impromptu concert at a vineyard in Tuscany. But it was here. Saturday night I found myself at The Stephen Talkhouse, where local singer/songwriter Lisa Bonner set an enthusiastic mood for Inda Eaton, a uniquely talented singer/songwriter who played to a full house. Eaton writes songs that are a little Indigo Girls, a little Springsteen, but largely--her. I was struck by how accessible the tunes were without being trite or simplistic. These were perfectly structured songs with good lyrics that led the first-time listener easily from section to section. Eaton's vocals and stage presence are confident and highly likable. Her musicians--Eve Nelson (piano/keyboard), B. RehmGerdes (guitar), and Jeff Marshall (percussion)-- are established studio and concert players that AND THE $1,000 HELPED. Congratulations to JoAnn Guerrera for winning the TW English Love Letter Contest and $1,000 in fine jewelry. After receiving many beautifully written love letters, the judges of the TW English Love Letter Contest selected JoAnn Guerrera's letter to be the winner. It was a touching, sentimental journey which started in 1955 when she and her husband, Sal, were teenage JoAnn Guerrera & Todd English sweethearts. Today, JoAnn still feels like a bride and enjoys her favorite song "My Boyfriend's Back." Together, they love to drive their classic 50's cars and at night dance to the music from that same decade. Our congratulations to JoAnn and Sal Guerrera.n THE BEST THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER. I HONESTLY LOVE YOU. n were totally in her groove. Eaton's vocals blended surprisingly well with local singing legend Mama Lee Lawler. The cost of entry was a mere 10 bucks, no drink minimum. This, the unexpected highlight of the music weekend, was like a Saturday at The Bottom Line, but it was here. Sunday was the Stony Brook Opera's "Celebration of American Song" at the Southampton Cultural Center, featuring works by Aaron Copland, Andre Previn, Ned Rorem, George Gershwin, and my fellow CarnegieMellon classmate, Ricky Ian Gordon. Four members of Stony Brook's doctoral program (Risa Harman, Greta Feeney, Alison Trainer and Andrew Fuchs) sang, accompanied by Associate Professor Timothy Long. This music isn't easy for the singers nor the first time listeners--not (as we used to say, cattily) "melodies you can (continued on page 23) CREATED BY DVM COMMUNICATIONS ENGLISH TW 518 MONTAUK HIGHWAY EASTPORT, NY 11941 631.285.7100 1318618 DAN'S PAPERS, February 19, 2010 Page 22 www.danshamptons.com Stories (continued from page 11) nessmen, some from Las Vegas and some with criminal records, put together by Floyd Flake, a longtime friend of the Governor. The selection of AEG--its offer was ranked by a panel put together by the state to recommend to the Governor as the fourth best of the five-- brought outrage from State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who was apparently left out of the selection process. It is Silver, together with the governor and Malcolm Smith, the Temporary President of the State Senate, who makes all the decisions in the State without regard for the opinions of any of the elected members of the state legislature--and what a sorry situation that is. Silver, in his outrage, wrote a letter to the Governor saying that his state legislature would not approve of the AEG selection unless certain conditions were met. They included a demand that AEG pay a $300 million licensing fees up front rather than in stages (AEG had originally offered $200 million, while a "losing" competitor offered $300 million), that no person with a felony conviction be allowed to be a partner in the deal, and that the legislature have veto power over any subsequent changes to the plan. Patterson said Flake agreed to these conditions. Then, at a meeting on Thursday, Patterson and Flake met to discuss how much support Flake could provide the Governor in his upcoming but flagging re-election bid. The Shinnecocks would do well to stay clear of any entanglements with the State of New York. Probably the best bet for the location of a casino would be just to the west of Riverhead Town along the LIE where the Town has jurisdiction. It would be in an area where jobs are few and where superhighways are adequate. It would be off in the scrub pines, and yet in the Township, which is in great need of a new revenue stream. Other benefits are that it would NOT be in the Hamptons where traffic is already at the bursting point, yet it would be less than an hour away from the reservation. The Shinnecocks could keep a good eye on the project and could find much employment there for its members. ART PRICES "L'homme qui marche I," a sculpture by the Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti, made in 1961 in his studio in Paris, was sold at a London Sotheby's auction two weeks ago for $104.3 million. The auction house had expected it might go for up to $29 million, but during 15 minutes of vigorous bidding, 10 bidders took it up over the $100 million mark. It was won by an anonymous bidder on the telephone who has still not been identified by press time. Some think the buyer was East Hampton billionaire Ronald Perelman, a major art collector and the CEO of Revlon. Although this was the most money ever paid for a work of art at an auction, it does not approach the highest prices in the world paid for a work of art in a private art transaction. The highest price ever paid for a painting was for Jackson Pollock's "No. 5, 1948," sold privately for $140 million in 2006. The second highest price ever paid for a painting was for Willem de Kooning's "Woman III," painted in 1952-53, that also sold in 2006, for $137.5 million. Both these paintings were made in studios within two miles of one another, in the Springs section of East Hampton, where de Kooning and Pollock lived and worked full-time. HULTS, KABOT, MOTZ Three high profile public officials in the Hamptons were arrested while still in office during the last six months. In June, the East Hampton Town Budget Officer Edward "Ted" Hults was hauled away in handcuffs and charged by the D. A. with fiscal mismanagement. In September, the sitting Southampton Town Supervisor, Linda Kabot, was arrested and charged with a DWI in Westhampton Beach at two in the morning. In October, the then Mayor of Quogue Village, George Motz, pled guilty to charges that he fleeced several million dollars from his clients at his money management firm in Manhattan. Hults said he could not afford a lawyer to defend himself, and so was provided with a public defender. He resigned from office. It was expected that the matter would go before a grand jury before the November election. Kabot said that although she declined to take a breathalyzer test, she was not drunk, although she had had two glasses of wine at a party. She then hired a high-powered local attorney to defend her. The matter was scheduled to be decided in court two days before the November election, and Kabot expected she would be cleared. She was running for re-election. Motz, after admitting his crime, resigned his post as Mayor of Quogue and prepared to appear before a judge for sentencing, which was widely expected to be five years in prison.

But sometimes it goes the other way: people from warmer places think they'd enjoy experiencing a winter. 7 a.m.--"Look at it, Joyce. A blanket of white velvet covering the land. What a beautiful morning. Our first big snow. It is awe inspiring." "It sure is, Charley. Looks like you'll get to use your new snow shovel today." "I can shovel the sidewalk and driveway in about an hour I think." 8 a.m.--"Are you back in already, Charley? The car is still buried." "Yeah. I just did the sidewalk. It takes longer than I thought. But we can get out to the street." "Not anymore, honey. While you were in the can, the snowplow came by and there's a huge block of snow at the end of the walk, about four feet high." "No problem. That happens. You shovel out, the plow shovel you back in. It's part of life in the Northeast, honey. I'll shovel out the end of the walk after breakfast." "Okay, and the car too." "No problem." "I saw our neighbor give the plow guy the finger." "Very immature. Snow is just a fact of life here, Joyce, people have to adjust." 11 a.m.--"It took forever, but I got the car cleared off and shoveled out the driveway to the road. I didn't realize how packed down the snow was at the end of the walk. I guess the movement of the plow packs it as it goes." "Well, just rest in the chair. I'll make lunch." "What's that sound? Is that the plow? Is he on this street?" "Yup. Oh hell, Charley! He just filled up the end of the walk and the driveway with another mound of snow. He's giving our neighbor the finger and laughing." "What?" "Yeah, the neighbor just threw a flowerpot at the plow." "The man is unbalanced." 1 p.m.--"Well, that should be it, Joyce. I shoveled out the ends of the walk and the driveway and re-shoveled both from the snow since this morning. I put a sign at the end of the driveway for the plow man not to block us in again." "Oh, Charley, I don't know how to tell you. He just re-plowed while you were in the bedroom changing. We're blocked at the ends again." "WHAT? He just ignored the sign? Who does that son of a b-- think he is?" "And the neighbor hurled a lawn chair at the plow this time. He's a local you know." "Call the town, Joyce, find out who is plowing this road and tell them to tell him to lift the plow before he crosses driveways that have obviously been dug out." 3 p.m.--"Okay, Joyce. That's the last I can shovel us out today. I am pooped. Did you reach the town?" "Yes. They said they'd pass the message..." "WAIT! Is that him coming AGAIN?" By Sally Flynn "Yes. Charley, he's at the corner, maybe you can flag him down and talk to him." "I'll talk to him..." "Charles...what are you doing with the bat? Hold on, phone's ringing... it's the neighbor. He said he'll meet you at the end of our driveway since the plow will hit us first. He says he has bottles and rags, do we have any gasoline in the house? What's he talking about, Charley?" "He's talking about a man's right to the pursuit of life, liberty, happiness, and the right to defend his home front from all enemies; foreign, domestic or armed with snowplows." Music (continued from page 21) whistle all the way to the parking lot." No matter. Challenge is good. And the singers were up to the task. Feeney was my favorite of the women, although Harman has some killer money notes. Andrew Fuchs' rendition of "The Nightingale," a dialogue between a soldier and a maiden, was dramatically the strongest piece of the first act. In the song, the soldier rebuffs the maiden, since he can only have one love-- England--while doing his duty. But as the piano part played on, Fuchs registered a subtle, winsome expression that made you feel the young soldier's doubt, a chink in his armor of resolve. It felt like a concert at the Weill Recital Hall, but it was here. These days, there's more to the winters in the Hamptons than northern winds, freezing surf and blowing snow. There's music in the air. NOW OPEN SUNDAYS!

At a meeting in East Hampton, where people were complaining about a new proposed cell phone tower in the woods of the girl scout camp in Three Mile Harbor, many of the protesters were on their own cell phones. "We want to improve our service," said the man from Verizon Wireless. Verizon has proposed constructing a 100-foot tower. The local authorities said it should be no higher than 50 feet. Verizon Wireless said they could do 60 feet, so long as it's above the canopy of the trees. The local authorities said they wanted it 50 feet and, whether or not that was high enough to get above the treetop canopy, that was it. "It's a bit too hilly for 50 feet," the man from Verizon said. "When you drive up Three Mile Harbor, we don't want the first thing you see to be a cell phone tower," said one concerned citizen. In Sagaponack, the Concerned Citizens of Sagaponack sent out a letter to all 600 people who have post offices in that community this week, telling them that a "non-historic home" is just about to be moved to an 11-acre farm site which is, in fact, the site of the last vista of open space between Hedges Lane and the Atlantic Ocean. Sagaponack Village says that it will be "off to one side," and 15 other acres have been saved. About 500 of the 600 residents of Sagaponack are people who moved here in the last 40 years from the City, who once said, "Oh, look at all that wonderful open space over the potato fields down to the sea!" and then built homes blocking that very view. Many have hedges around them to make the view even worse. Some are even on Hedges Lane, named after an old farming family with the last name Hedges. As for Talmage, that's an old East Hampton farming family name. Recently, the saving of the "Talmage Farm" in Springs occurred, thanks to government money. I suppose Ms. Russo will complain mightily if a farm stand is built on that field. But maybe not. Somewhere out here, there has to be somebody with a brain. Stories (continued from page 22) Winter Angel Tips Nail Spa Gift Certificates Available Specials 631-537-0100 (Next Door To T.J. Maxx) It is now February, heading toward March. The Hults matter about town finances has not even been scheduled and there is no grand jury indictment. The Kabot matter was postponed until just after her re-election bid. She was swept from office. Then it was postponed again. And now it has been postponed for a third time. Former Mayor Motz's sentencing was postponed until after the holidays, then in January until two weeks ago, and now has been postponed yet again. What is it about these postponements? Personnel cutbacks in the courts? Paperwork? Somebody didn't do something and everybody is embarrassed? Perhaps it's just the thinking that, the further down the road we go from when the charge was made, the less it matters, the more it costs the court system, and so the less the prosecution's efforts get. I mean, what happened was such a long time ago. What's the big deal? decided to purchase a house just for all future Marketing Directors. He located a house nearby to our Hampton Bays central office for sale for $295,000, signed a contract for it, and then found that the only mortgage he could get from a bank for it would be at 27 3/4% interest, 15 years, with a $10,000 signing fee, a $10,000 activation fee, a $10,000 bookkeeping fee and a $10,000 just-because-we-feel-like-it fee. Furthermore, the total offered for the mortgage would just be $35,000. The President of the bank said the Commissioner should understand these were difficult times. Our Comissioner is looking elsewhere. And meanwhile, we are putting on hold the hiring of a new marketing director. Of course if people want to volunteer to do the job just call our Comissioner. "I was surprised my longtime banker friend offered such stiff terms for a loan," the Commissioner said. "I had just read that he had received a $9 million bonus over the holidays and so thought he might be in a better mood." COMMISSIONER ASPINALL'S MESSAGE It's been a tough week here at Hampton Subway. For some reason we have not been able to get to the bottom of, the recent snowstorms have slowed down the subway service. Since all the tracks are underground it makes no sense. We're working on it. Meanwhile, I'm off to Honolulu for a much needed rest and to look at the transportation system in that city. I'm always looking to make Hampton Subway better, no matter where I am.

During the week, you can SWR High School is located on Route 25A, twopark outside the gates and walk in. There are two pavilions with picnic tables near the entrance. New York State parks crews worked to level, cut, and blaze three trails; the 1.7-mile blue trail, the 3.7mile red trail, and the 5.3-mile green trail. Three miles of the Brookhaven Trail is located within the park. All the newly-created state park trails are wide, offering little exposure to ticks, and they are so well-blazed that it is nearly impossible to get lost. As the Brookhaven Trail is winding and narrow, it is best suited to the more seasoned hiker. There are other narrower, unmarked trails for the more adventurous. The green trail is especially enjoyable because it avoids roads, it crosses the Trail in two places, and it winds by several ponds. On days when the parking area is crowded, I've seen individuals, couples, and families walking, jogging, horseback-riding, and mountain-biking when I've visited. People who I saw with dogs usually had them on leashes and were carrying out their dog's "deposits" in plastic bags. The well-groomed character of this park commands the respect of its visitors. I walked the entire perimeter of the park. The only breaches in the fence were those purposely created � they were only wide enough for people to walk through. The wider openings (for horses) have a log running along the bottom of the access opening, allowing for horses but not motor vehicles. This area is experiencing environmental healing after years of neglect and abuse. The taxpayers are getting a lot of bang for their buck, environmental restoration and protection, and a robust venue for recreation and communing with nature. It's great that state parks maintain a benign presence in Brookhaven State Park and provide so much to the public with so little cost in infrastructure.

Like many modern child development books, it's all about communication techniques right out of couples therapy: acknowledge that you have heard what the other party is saying, mirror back to them what you heard, try to identify with and understand their feelings, then WHAMMY! Tell them what you want. Actually, tell them what it is you need to have them do, in the most respectful way. Not surprisingly, the authors have much empathy for strong-willed children, saying being strong willed is not bad, it's just more. The general recommendation is empathy before discipline, and I found those reminders to be the most helpful. For example, instead of barking, "Get dressed right now or I'm not taking you to camp," you might opt for, "I know you really want to go to camp and that you like to be on time. But if we don't leave in 10 minutes we'll be late. If you can get yourself dressed right away you might be one of the first ones on the basketball court." I swear to God this works. There's something about the phrasing that makes the child feel like you are putting his needs first--and it makes them feel like they're in control. The book leads you through identifying � and accepting -- the type of child you have. "We can help you learn to better parent the child you have, instead X��? T �t�x�� By Susan Galardi Do Unto Others, Or Else of trying to turn him into the child you think he's supposed to be," the intro reads. It defines the top five strongwilled personality traits: passionate, determined, emotional, energetic and observant. (The authors acknowledge that, in extreme, some of these children may veer toward autism/Asberger's disorders, and advise seeking professional help.) The book also talks about introverts � ironically another strong willed personality type. Those kids find comfort in knowing the plan, so the authors recommend describing what you will be doing on any given outing. Our son, who's basically up for anything, really likes to know that too. For the extrovert, the book warns against time outs, spankings and yelling, explaining that these children tend to model behavior and use these as coping techniques, which they will likely use in their own interactions. Instead, it suggests giving children concrete, specific suggestions, like, "I've set the timer for10 minutes for you to put your toys away," with the further statement, "for any toy that's on the floor, I'll take 25 cents off your allowance." This surprised me. Like food, money as motivation always felt verboten to me. And if these kids are of the "do unto others" school, I say tread lightly. There may come the time when we we'll be in their care. Someone who's always the life of the party is a lot of fun, until you need her to be serious. Someone who's easy going can drive you crazy when you need him to put a stake in the ground. Funny how a person's assets, pushed too far, seem to morph into shortcomings. Or maybe shortcomings develop as the OTHER person is pushed too far. That certainly comes into play with our children. Our kids do things that annoy us one day, but not the next. Is it them? Is it us? For a moment, let's go with the idea that it's them � that, from time to time what we love about our kids becomes the thing that drives us mad. Our son is very focused and definitive � a true Taurus, "all-boy," a typical only child, a born leader � whatever label works. Most of the time, that trait gives me peace. In this competitive world, I sleep better knowing that he won't be left behind, that he'll always make friends, that he knows how to assert and insert himself in any situation. That he's motivated and won't give up until he gets what he wants. Most of the time. The other times, as anyone with a headstrong child knows, it can be a bit of a battle. So imagine how intrigued I was when sent a copy of the book, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Raising a Strong-Willed Child," by Mary-Michael Levitt, Director of the Riverview Counseling Center in Hackettstown, NJ, and Helen Coronato, a freelance writer and former teacher. Ah. Now I will learn how to get him to tow the line at my first gentle prompt. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19 KIDS KNEAD CHALLAH �Challah bread-making, songs, Kiddush juice-making, and grand children's raffle.

Chili, along with spaghetti and meatballs are two of the ten most googled recipes according to a magazine survey with chili numero uno on the list. I don't often prepare chili and wondering why. I do love this tasty and comforting meal-in-one dish with its many layers of flavors. True aficionados insist that a `pure' chili is made only with well marbled beef chuck cut into tiny cubes or slivers � not ground beef, and never should it combine beans or, at times, even tomatoes. For me chili becomes a complete dining experience with a bowl of hot rice to soak in the chili flavors. As to add, or not add beans, and or tomatoes or any other ingredients to make it hot, hot, hot......what you want to put in, put in � what you want to leave out, leave out. And isn't everyone's favorite pasta spaghetti and meatballs? The featured recipe below doesn't have tomato sauce, not that I don't love a good tomato sauce, it's just a different take on the classic. Then take it to another level and grind a piece of chuck in the food processor for the meatballs and be sure to season well with a good grinding of fresh black pepper. I just love its peppery taste! CHILI CON CARNE A comforting do-ahead chili stew on a chilly wintry night. Serve it with a bowl of white fluffy rice and top with toasted cumin seeds, if desired. * Serves 6 Rustic Spice over medium-low heat for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. If chili thickens too rapidly as it cooks, add some water. Taste to adjust seasoning if necessary. Add beans and simmer for 15 minutes longer. Remove bay leaves and discard. Make up to one or two days ahead and reheat slowly. Serve hot with freshly cooked rice with toasted cumin seeds and chopped red onion, if desired *To toast cumin seeds: Place me or two tablespoons cumin seeds in a dry non-stick skillet. Place over heat for a few seconds, shaking pan back and forth, and when the seeds begin to "talk" they are ready. CHUCK BEEF MEATBALLS WITH LINGUINI Grinding your own meat in a food processor is a good thing. Serves 4 1 large clove garlic, peeled 1 pound fresh chuck meat 1 extra-large egg, beaten 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese 3 tablespoons freshly chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup low-sodium chicken or beef stock For the pasta 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil 1 large Spanish onion, finely chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, seeded and chopped (optional) 1 1/2 pounds ground beef or shaved slivers of beef kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 2 teaspoons chili powder 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1 can (1 lb.12.oz.) whole tomatoes and liquid 1/4 cup water 2 bay leaves 1 can (1 lb. 3 oz.) red kidney beans, drained Garnish Toasted cumin seeds* Freshly chopped red onion (optional) 1. Warm the oil in a heavy flameproof casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and jalapeno or serrano, if using, adjust heat to medium and cook, stirring until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to brown 2. Add beef and cook, stirring, until the meat loses its red color, about 7-8 minutes. Season well with salt, pepper and spices. Add tomatoes, tomato liquid, water, (pour water in the can with tomato liquid, swish and add) bay leaves and stir to mix.

Grineva brings a universal feel to her work, not surprising considering that she was born and educated in Russia and has lived in both New York and Italy. Her style, while impressionistic, is moves toward abstraction: a big change from her classical and realistic art training in Russia, where Grineva earned a Master's degree in Fine Arts. Q: You have really adapted well to living in New York � taking art and music classes, painting in a Greenwich Village studio for several years, holding receptions for your work. You seem to be quite energetic and hard-working. A: I love New York, its chaos and the four seasons. I love everything I do here. I hold receptions in my studio every other month so that customers can come see the paintings on the wall. I have also been teaching art to private students on and off for 10 years. Q: I understand that you teach art elsewhere, too? A: Yes, on cruise ships. I've been to China, Japan and South Korea. As I only teach one hour per day, I can then explore. Q: You also went to the Amazon. Exotic. A: It was absolutely fascinating. I thought there would be bugs and hot weather, but there weren't. Brazilians are very warm, and we were never in danger. It was amazing to walk through the jungle and see the trees, vegetation and pink dolphins. Q: Are you drawing all the time on your trips? A: I do sketches and watercolors. When I get back home, I make impressions. Q: On a trip to Italy a few years back, someone who saw your work arranged an exhibit for you. So fortunate. Have you had any other shows in Italy? A: I had an exhibit there last Spring at a new museum, Maz Ercolano. I met art critics, lots of people. I was asked to publish a book with stories about my paintings. Q: Although you like Italy, you enjoy the Hamptons, too. A: It's so different from the chaos of New York. I like to go to the ocean, see the sunsets, smell the fresh air, enjoy the beautiful scenery. Q: That's inspiring. What else inspires you? A: Music and literature. I take music appreciation at Julliard and participate in a book club. As far as art goes, I find very moving the drawings by Bronzino, which are at the Metropolitan Museum. Q: Any other artists that you really liked? A: Kandinsky's work is very spiritual. One of my favorite artists is Dufy: I like his different themes, like theatre and horse races. His work is decorative, happy, colorful. Q: I know you do cityscapes and landscapes. What do you look for when you study an urban scene? A: I look for perspective, dynamic composition, movement, and color. I like images that are alive. That's why I put in cars, people, yellow taxis. Q: Have you ever done "dark" or sad pieces? A: My early work had a darker palette, when I started in Russia. That's how we were taught. Of course, when I do night scenes now, they are darker. Q: What are your plans for the future? A: To keep doing what I'm doing. �Marion Wolberg Weiss Sonia Grineva's work is currently at Works Gallery (1250 Madison Avenue; 212-996-0300).

Art Com (continued from previous page) complicated, with configurations often literally linked to each other. What's intriguing is the idea that the works also recall images seen under a microscope (this relating perhaps to Smith's interest in science). We recall early paintings by East End resident Ross Bleckner where he recreated images of cells as well. Simply put, Smith's art is a combination of several influences, both traditional and modern. We are left with the concept, however, that such a combination is completely her own.

With his letters, the viewer travels with him through prep school, Yale, law school, Navy experiences, and finally his becoming a U.S. Senator married with three boys and a lovely wife. Yet the two voices reach out through tough times in marriages, life changes and exalting times, showing the petty jealousy best friends always seem to exhibit even through affection. The two became the characters very convincingly and united as one story being told. Obviously the direction and insights of Sheer helped create and seal the magic. I enjoyed this production so much I suggested they make it into an audio recording so that others can listen perhaps in front of their fires while their dog snores on cold windy winter nights. It is important to note that helping support local community theatre is a noble thing. The North Fork Community Theatre's fund raising drive marches onward to get to the magical $750,000 by 2012 to purchase their home. With their first production being The Man Who Came to Dinner in 1957, the NFCT moved into the Mattituck space in 1962 and has flourished, presenting the local community with high caliber theatre over the years, like Our Town in 1986-87 to the forever favorite The Fantasticks during their 50-year jubilee in 2008.

She is an accomplished television reporter, host and producer for major networks discussing racial issues. Contact 631-537-0616 if you wish to attend this lecture in Bridgehampton.

Writers Speak DAN'S PAPERS, February 19, 2010 Page 36 www.danshamptons.com Letters AMERICA Dear Dan, The story of America is a fascinating tale that should never be forgotten. Throughout its history, proud Americans have come together to battle obstacles that have threatened its integrity and democratic principles. Unfortunately, it appears that our priorities have been altered. We are in the midst of a healthcare crisis that has left nearly 50 million fellow Americans without health insurance. Although the Obama administration has fought hard to secure health insurance for all Americans, his mission is in true jeopardy. If his goal does not succeed, due to political differences, we have failed to conquer a serious crisis that affects us all. Is this what our founding fathers would want? Jason E. Hill Ridge, New York Via e-mail No one denies we are in a crisis. I agree with you. I don't get it. -DR e-mail Dan at firstname.lastname@example.com Your arguments to the contrary were on the mark! Sincerely, Evelyn Mocbeichel Via e-mail David's writing is excellent. -DR DOGGY Dear Dan, My husband and I have been members of the Bridgehampton and Sag Harbor community since we were teenagers. It is where we met and for the past eight years we have held part-time residence. Today, our dog Lucey was hit by a car in front of the Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton. We had a babysitter watching our two-year-old son. She went to take him for a stroll in town. Somehow Lucey got outside. Shortly after, Lucey was struck by a black, 4-wheel drive, hybrid car. Our babysitter immediately ran after Lucey while several pedestrians and other drivers screamed to the driver of the vehicle that hit our dog. The driver, who was female, screeched off. Our dog, who we adopted from Bideawee eight years ago, was left defenseless. She is okay but has suffered several lacerations on her tail, hip, leg and belly. She is on severe painkillers and unable to move. The doctor tells us that there is a high probability that her tail will have to be removed. I applaud those who spoke out at the moment Lucey was struck. And, I cringe to think of the pond scum that not only hit our dog so carelessly but also left her to suffer. What has happened to accountability, even if it was an accident? What has become of our responsibilities as individuals in this community? I humbly ask anyone who witnessed this travesty to please give us more details. I would like to lock this individual up and put her in the pound for a night, that's a far better place than where she actually belongs. We are a community. Or are we not? Sure, far worse things could happen but at what stage or level do we say enough is enough and we keep this beautiful, safe haven of ours safe from substandard beings? Mariah Davis Via e-mail People can be very heartless. -DR THIS GREAT COUNTRY Dear David Rattiner, Since we are stuck in the house during this snowstorm, it was the perfect time to catch up on back issues of Dan's Papers. Just read your Jan. 29, 2010 column "Avatar is Bad for America." Well done! I liked that you defended, for those that seem to keep forgetting, how great America is! If this movie provoked those thoughts in you to write about it, then it is a good thing! Yes, America has been and always will be a source of hope and opportunity, as you put it. Yes, people from around the world want to get here. And yes, in China they can't say what they want to, like in our country. And yes, other countries do copycat our ideas (when we send things to be manufactured there, then they copy and knock off replicas from our patterns and design). All that you said was true and it was a pleasure to read your column and see that you got ticked off at a movie that did not seem to remember how wonderful America is and that we should always be proud of where we live! Thanks for a column that was well written and that you got "P.O.'d" that certain parts of the movie put this great "country in a bad light," as you said. WHO DAT Dear Dan, "Who Dat The Super Bowl and the Dismantling of Indianapolis" (Dan Rattiner � February 12) reminded me that while the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl, taxpayers lost. There are higher priorities than the Census Bureau paying $2.5 million dollars for Super Bowl Spots. Even worse is the expenditure of a $133 million ad campaign. The IRS can inform citizens about the 2010 census by including information in tax forms and tax returns. Members of Congress can do likewise with their numerous mailings at taxpayers' expenses, which reach virtually everyone. Every elected official on the village, town, county, city and state level is already promoting participation in the census by their constituents. They all know how it impacts future Congressional representation and distribution of federal aid. Every year, how many other city, state and federal government agencies combined waste several billion dollars of taxpayers monies for so called "public service" ads? Uncle Sam's deficit increased by $1.75 trillion last year. It will increase an additional $1.8 trillion this year. Common sense tells me there are better ways to spend $133 million dollars. With wasteful expenditures like this, no wonder the Taxpayers Tea Party revolt is growing. Larry Penner Great Neck Via e-mail LOCALS RULE Dear Dan, Regarding your "Locals Rule" missive of Feb. 12, Peter Sartorius is a permanent, full-time resident of Quogue, practiced law in Pennsylvania (not New York), did not attend an ivy league school, and to the best of my knowledge, and has never owned a "yacht" bigger than a sunfish. You did get the spelling of his name right, however. Scott Sartorius (His brother, in the interest of full disclosure.) Local born and raised? -DR Police Blotter That Sucks A Montauk man reported to police that someone stole three framed pictures taken by the famous Montauk photographer, Peter Beard, from his home in early February. The photos were estimated to be worth $25,000. Dang Kids Police in East Hampton received a report that three suspicious people were seen in the front yard of a private residence. The police investigated and found that the three suspicious people were a couple of teens cutting through the yard to save time. "Mr. Wilson" decided that he did not want to press charges. More Dang Kids Police in the Village of East Hampton received a call about a group of 10-year olds throwing snow balls at cars right on Main Street. Police advised the snow throwers not to throw the snowballs at cars because it could easily cause an accident. Instead, they advised to throw the snowballs at each other. Dramatic Deer Rescue On the North Fork, three police officers were involved with a very dramatic deer rescue. The deer was spotted with just its neck above water in the bay, having fallen through the ice. The officers, using pitch forks and a borrowed boat, rowed out to the deer and pulled him into the boat, then rowed back to shore and covered him with blankets. After about an hour, the deer recovered from the ordeal, and ran off into the woods, where he frolicked happily. And then was probably hit by a car or shot. Shelter Island MoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo. Joint A man was arrested in Southampton after police smelled marijuana and noticed him smoking a cigarette. When police approached the man, they noticed that the cigarette he was smoking was in fact a smoking device that looked like a cigarette to smoke marijuana. The cigarette was designed to fool police officers. The stoner however, obviously forgot that police officers have noses. Construction Geeks Two laptops were reported stolen from a construction site in Hampton Bays. The laptops are estimated to be worth $1,000. Drugged Out Driver A man from Hampton Bays nearly smashed into a patrol car and then rear-ended a truck while he was high on Vicodin, which he did not have a prescription for. The man was arrested for reckless driving and driving while being impaired by drugs.
