All 32 members of the group are descendants of the seven children that Kratz fathered in the early 1920s, before he built the subway out of the construction materials he stole from a job he was doing in Manhattan for the MTA. According to the papers filed, the group claims that the stolen goods no longer matter since more than seven years have passed since the deed was done and Kratz is now dead. As for the property, they acknowledge the land above is owned by others, but they say that the tunnels their beloved great-grandfather dug through the earth 15 feet down were his and they have the deed. We will see what is what when we first meet these idiots in court. BIRTHDAY Elisa Dariaelle, our receptionist, celebrated her 27th birthday in the company cafeteria last Wednesday. She's a likeable person and most everyone attended to wish her well and give her gifts. And so what if the switchboard and desk remained unattended for that hour? COMMISSIONER ASPINALL'S MESSAGE I held our annual pre-summer picnic for our staff on the vast front lawn of Chez Toot Toot, the estate my wife and I own on the ocean in Southampton. We had pony rides, clowns, a baseball game, a band, a barbecue and everybody was welcome to use both the pool and the tennis courts, and many did. As they say, it was "toot sweet" and at the end bon voyage. And I very much appreciate the "Best Boss" trophy the staff presented to me, which will be displayed with the other similar trophies from prior picnics. "Along with the New York Subway System, Hamptons Subway is the only underground transit system in the State of New York."

RAIL PARADE This past Saturday at 11 a.m., the big parade came through Sag Harbor to celebrate the arrival of the new titanium trackage destined to replace the old throughout the tunnels of Hamptons Subway. A huge crowd lined Main Street to welcome the new tracks, made at a defunct Space Shuttle factory in California. Mayor Gilbride led the parade, and there were baton twirlers from Bay Shore, the Pierson High School Marching Band, the Noyack Cub Scouts teepee float, the Barcelona Neck Pipers Revolutionary War float, from a time preceding when the subway was built, the Mashashimuet Park Rollers float with a dance band and break dancers celebrating 1932, the year the subway was built. Then came nine 1,000-footlong titanium subway rails, all brightly glinting in the sun and each marched up the street by 12 uniformed trackmen in lockstep with the rails on their shoulders. These were the straightaways. (Curved trackage was delivered after the parade was over.) The men did have trouble wrestling the tracks around the curve at the Emporium Hardware store, but they made it through. Bringing up the rear was Mayor Bloomberg, or somebody who looked like Bloomberg. What a day! The new trackage will be installed during the night when the subway system is closed for maintenance over the next six weeks, thus completed by Memorial Day. Subway rides will now be smooth as glass, even that bumpy corner by Trout Pond on Noyac Road. And hopefully the cost of it will not necessitate a rate hike above $2.25 per ride.

The National Weather Service called it an "enhanced threat for the spread of wildfires." Not long after the warning, a brush fire broke out in East Hampton, it was put out by the fire department. Smokey the Bear stated that if he finds that anybody flicked a cigarette into the forest out here, they will deal directly with him. Stop! A Southampton man reported to police that he believed his brake lines and rear fuel pump wires were cut by a couple of men with whom he got into an argument earlier. When the alleged victim told officers that he'd drive them to where he thought the culprits were, they declined. Shelter Island Old Man McGumbus—104 years old, current President of the Shelter Island Board Lawn Authority and former World War II Army Wide Receiver—was arrested last week for disturbing the peace. Police discovered McGumbus on Main Street asleep in the middle of the crosswalk. They found him to be in possession of 36 Viagra pills (for which he has claimed to have a lifetime prescription) and 11 bananas. McGumbus had lipstick all over his face and was dressed in full military uniform. Police suspected foul play when they woke McGumbus and he asked them for another dance. Joyride A man in East Hampton with a history of DWI stole a car last week and took it for a joyride while intoxicated. The man, who is 24, was arrested at a gas station and was brought to jail. His bail was set at more than $100,000, which he had not paid at press time. MACHETE A man from Riverside was arrested by police after he was seen smashing and hacking up cars with a machete. Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez and Cheech Martin have confirmed that the man arrested was NOT Danny Trejo. Whoa A Hampton Bays man, who police say leaped from a stolen car while the vehicle was still in motion, evaded a police helicopter, escaped from a police dog and sent police officers from multiple agencies on a foot chase. Incredibly, it wasn't a dramatic arrest at the end of the pursuit. The man was arrested after police saw him simply walking around a few days later. 22639 Read more Hamptons Police Blotter and get your daily McGumbus updates at DansHamptons.com. danshamptons.com DAN'S PAPERS April 12, 2013 Page 17 PAGE 27 Viva Las Cowgirls! at the Stephen Talkhouse Crossroads Music presented a "Wicked Fun-Raiser" for the Neo-Political Cowgirls in Amagansett, featuring a sketch-wwriting competition, comedy, burlesque by Kiki, Danny Ximo of the Raffa Show, comedy, and live musical performances.

There's an empty store. It's been empty for years. Then, in early May, the workmen arrive, and on Memorial Day a big fancy store opens with great fanfare. On Labor Day, the whole thing closes, the workmen come in again, and by the end of September the last of the debris from the store has been hauled away and the building is empty again. Now an English billionaire named Frank Franklin has proposed Little Hampton. It would be a pop-up town, complete with a wooden windmill on a village green, a Main Street, rows of stores, a town pond with ducks in it, an old cemetery with beat-up tombstones, cobblestone streets and two rows of great, leafy elms arching over the road. Franklin has not applied to a zoning board of appeals or a town board or a planning board or a building department. He has applied for a $500 event permit from two different Departments of Recreation, one in the Village of Sagaponack and one in Southampton Town. "We were going to apply for a third, in East Hampton Town," Charles Littlebottom, the marketing director for Little Hampton Inc., told us. "It would have been in the field next to the Amagansett IGA between Amagansett and Napeague, but we heard that people kicked up such a fuss in East Hampton when some people planned a rock concert there last summer, we thought to keep that one as a backup. We're sorry about that. We know everyone will want a Little Hampton. It would have none of the problems of the rock concert. But we will have our first one elsewhere, I'm sorry to say. Perhaps we could have our second one there. This summer it will only be one." Littlebottom explained the logic of having a pop-up village. "Our research shows there are 14 villages that comprise the Hamptons. They are all charming and they are all walkable from one end to the other, on the English model. That's how we have villages in England—unlike in most of America, where everything is along strip malls. Our research also shows these 14 villages are tremendously successful. They are booming. Of course it's only in the summertime. Why not take the pressure off the 14 by building a 15th?" Littlebottom explained the importance of having the new pop-up village midway between two of the existing Hamptons. He said that's the whole point of having villages out here— you leave one and drive (Cont'd on next page) Dan Rattiner's third memoir, Still in the Hamptons is now online and at all bookstores.

For The BesT oF Times RIDE THE LEGEND TM HamptonJitney.com 631-283-4600 22754 Page 20 April 12, 2013 DAN'S PAPERS danshamptons.com Little (Continued from previous page) to another. In the olden days you rode in a carriage the few miles from one to the other, or just hopped on a horse. "If you have it too close to a village, then it's simply part of that village. That's not our concept. Little Hampton has to have its own identity. It also, of course, needs to be on the Montauk Highway." One location being applied for is the farm field across from the Poxabogue Golf Course, midway between Bridgehampton and East Hampton. The other is the field across from Duck Walk Vineyard, between Southampton and Water Mill. Neither of the owners of these locations, we have learned, has any idea that they are being considered. "We thought we'd get the permits first," Littlebottom said. "Then we would be able to let these owners compete for the project. We are prepared to pay an enormous amount of rent. In pounds, of course." Little Hampton, like the other villages in the Hamptons, would have its own history. It would predate Southampton Village, which, founded in 1640, is the oldest village in New York State. "Little Hampton will have been founded in 1621. Southampton settlers came from Lynn, Massachusetts, sailing from there to North Sea. The Little Hampton settlers will have been a group of 20 disgruntled pilgrims, dissatisfied with the strict rules of pilgrimhood as put forward by the original group that landed with the Mayflower at Plymouth in 1620. They will have come and established Little Hampton to remind them of home—there is a Littlehampton in England—just as the later residents of Southampton named their town to remind them of Southampton, England. Southampton copied Little Hampton." Little Hampton will feature the original meetinghouse, built of logs, which the settlers met in to endorse the charter for the village that was mailed to them by the King of England, King James I. There will be the historic field where, from the get-go, the Little Hampton settlers cultivated and grew the beautiful lilacs that became the trademark of their village. And there will be the sacred pond where the settlers came to meet the local Indians, the defunct tribe of Unkachunks, to purchase the land from them for a bouquet of lilacs and a pair of extremely excellent handcrafted English moccasins. That pond, by the way, will also serve as the source of water for Little Hampton. Huge tanks of water will be buried under the pond to constantly refresh the water for the summer, and the tanks will also be the source for a wishing well with a crank and bucket that would haul up water. "Great fun for the kiddies," Littlebottom said. "It could also serve as a source of water in case of fire, if we needed to call in one of the local fire departments. Of course, we will have trained all our workers in forming bucket brigades at the start of the season to quench fires until the fire department arrives. We'll have lots of wooden buckets on hand. That's the way they did it before fire departments." Little Hampton will feature modern, up-todate stores just as Southampton and the other towns do. "We have already contacted Tiffany, Cartier, Saks, Steve Madden, Benetton, Lamborghini, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Barnes & Noble and 100 other stores and have gotten enthusiastic interest," Littlebottom said. "The Hamptons, if you will excuse the expression, is where it's at." Officials at the Town of Southampton and the Village of Sagaponack are dumbfounded at the application they have received from Little Hampton, Inc. "This seems to be according to our laws," one Southampton official said ruefully. "Our lawyers are scratching their heads. Obviously this cannot go ahead. But we don't know what we can do about it." "We don't even have a Department of Recreation," said a spokesman for the Village of Sagaponack, which was formed just eight years ago. "We are on totally new ground here." We asked Littlebottom what his company would do if either of these municipalities, and also subsequently East Hampton Town, turned them down for one reason or another. "Little Hampton will go to Dubai," he told us. "That's already been arranged as a backup. And you'll have to excuse me. Right now I have to attend to the feeding of the ducks. I'm sure you can hear them in the background." danshamptons.com DAN'S PAPERS April 12, 2013 Page 21 Booing Ban Lifted New Law Restricts Booing in Riverhead, Goes Viral, Lawmakers Relent By Dan Rattiner O n Tuesday, March 5, the Town of Riverhead adopted a new law prohibiting disruptive booing in Town Board meetings. Apparently there had been a lot of disruptive booing going on in meetings. This would put a stop to it. The booing prohibition was part of a larger measure that described many things you could no longer do at their Town Board meetings. The list included carrying disruptive signs into the meetings, and not allowing board members to speak a second time before all other members who want to speak on a topic have done so. It also specified that the Pledge of Allegiance be recited at the beginning of the Town Board meeting. For a while, it seemed that excessive clapping was going to be included in the list. But in the end, that was struck from the version that was voted upon. As for a conversation about what the difference was between disruptive and non-disruptive, the board decided to save that for another time. For now, non-disruptive booing and sign-carrying would be considered on a case-by-case basis. At the end of the discussion, the board heard comments from the audience before these rules would be voted upon. A woman named Dominique Mendez said she understood the ban on large protest signs but felt that small signs should be allowed. She pointed out that many people are uncomfortable speaking in public, and so preventing them from holding small signs with messages would unfairly restrict their freedom of expression. The measure was passed by the Town Board by a vote of 4 to 1, with the one person objecting being Councilman James Wooten. The Town Board considered removing disruptive booing from the list of things you can't do at the meetings. The next day, the ban on booing in Riverhead went viral. Stories about it appeared on Fox News, it showed up on the Associated Press wire and it was reported upon by newspapers as far away as Hawaii—where, I can tell you from personal experience, there's no need to have a ban on booing because everybody is so polite. Riverhead, I might add, has a long, recent history of authorities doing ridiculous things. The world waits for what's next. This was the town in which, one year ago, high school administrators suspended students for "Tebowing" in the hallways in honor of Tim Tebow, the professional football quarterback. This was the town where many people who got married found their marriages were never recorded with New York State because of a computer glitch. This is the town where Google Earth was used to spy on the residents in hopes of finding some of them with swimming pools in their yards without the proper permits. As a result of all the hubbub (and boo-hoo) that followed over the next few days as a result of the banishing of booing, the Town decided to reconsider the matter, uh, quickly. On March 19, the Town Board considered removing disruptive booing from the list of things you can't do at the meetings. A lot of discussion ensued. There was talk to the effect that if you remove the ban on booing, you ought to also remove the ban on carrying disruptive signs into the meetings. There was also talk that maybe small signs would be okay. People remembered Mendez's point. At the end of the day, a vote was called on whether or not to remove the ban on booing and also the ban on disruptive-sign carrying (all sizes). It passed by 4–1, with Councilman Wooten voting "no" to these changes in the same way he had voted "no" in the first place. He voted that way, he said, "to be consistent," noting he thought the whole thing was stupid. Page 22 April 12, 2013 DAN'S PAPERS ©Ronald J.

There are many reasons for such a service. People want to send cash to people in remote areas where there are no banks. People want to send cash to relatives abroad. People want to send funds to others who are disabled, or people who have no credit or bank accounts and can only get money as cash. And people, particularly day laborers from abroad working here, want to send money to their families back home. This is a cash economy, it exists and there is nothing wrong with it. Locally, Western Union operates out of four locations in the Hamptons: Waldbaum's in East W Hampton, King Kullen in Bridgehampton, and the Rite Aid Pharmacy in both Southampton and Hampton Bays. You will sometimes see lines of people waiting at the counters there to make a transaction. You fill out a form with your name and address to send the cash. You fill out the name of whom you are sending it to. You don't indicate a town, just the state or country they are in. Western Union takes your cash. They also charge a hefty fee for the service. For example, sending $300 can cost you nearly $20. At the end of the transaction, the Western Union person gives you a receipt with a transaction number on it. At the other end, the receiver of the money either shows ID to prove who they are, or, if they don't have ID, gives the answer to a test question the sender, having spoken to the receiver, puts on the form. For many years now, I have been sending money to someone dear to me who needs to receive it in this way. As it happens, sometimes they remember to pick up the money and sometimes they don't. I figured the transaction was secure. If my receiver didn't pick it up, after a while Western Union would call or write to me to that effect so they could return my cash. Last fall, I discovered that money I'd sent six months earlier had never been picked up. I called Western Union's 800 number, told them the transaction number—I no longer had the actual receipt but had written the number down somewhere—and they told me the money would be returned to me. It never was. I thought, well, I have (Cont'd on next page) Looking Into the Face of the Shinnecock Spirit By james keith phillips I f you're looking at Shinnecock Reservation from the east, at an altitude of 1,000 feet, you'll see it a face roaring at the ocean. This is the face of the Shinnecock Spirit. I first noticed it while I was working on a project, compiling maps and photos of the Shinnecock peninsula. I've worked on various projects over the years, viewing maps and photos from the late 1700s up to the present day, but it wasn't until two years ago that I saw The Face. It was as if a veil had been lifted from my eyes, or rather, a gift granted. The Spirit's eyes and mouth are formed by creeks and marsh drains, its hair is marsh grass and woods. Perhaps it's holding the ocean at bay, or singing back to shore of Shinnecock men who were lost during the Circassian tragedy (Dan Rattiner wrote a wonderful article in the February 9 edition of this paper about that shipwreck). The spirit is neither male nor female. I don't know how many other people have seen it, but you can be sure that once this gets out, tattoos will be showing up on the arms, necks and backsides of those who want to claim its power. But it took me more than 50 years of learning every facet of that countenance before being granted the gift.

Perhaps there were other transactions never picked up. Wouldn't I have heard about it? So I called the 800 number again, and they told me they keep all records and would send me a list of all my transactions going back years. They did that. And the one that I knew was still not picked up was not on the list. It was as if it had never taken place. More out of curiosity than anything else, I went down to Waldbaum's in East Hampton and gave the Western Union representative the transaction number, and they looked in the computer and told me it was waiting to be picked up. So Western Union HAD this information, at least here in the Hamptons. But whoever they had on their 800 number didn't give it to me. I tried by mail for three more months to get that transaction, and others that might be like it, placed on the "not picked up" list. I was unsuccessful. I also found a receipt I had saved from years earlier that was not on the list, and, when I called, the Western Union operator told me it was waiting to be picked up. What was happening to this money? I wait on line with everyone else when I send my money. On the line are all sorts of people, most of them working people, sending money somewhere. They count out the cash. They pay the fee. I talked to some of them. Indeed I was not the only one having this problem. "You have to be really sure who you send this to gets it," one told me. I concluded that it was possible that piles and piles of people's money was being held by Western Union. I did wonder if there might be some logic in their not returning it if you didn't have the transaction number. But I couldn't think of any. They have your address. They can write you. Banks, knowing a money transfer is not completed, will inform you of it. Even regular businesses, if you accidentally pay for something twice, return a check or issue a credit. I talked to a friend about this. Was this part of Western Union's income, people sending money nobody picks up? I had a hard time thinking this could be so. "Read the small print," he told me. I read the small print. There was nothing I could find that said they keep your money if it's not picked up. As a result of all this, I decided to do something about it—not just for my few transactions but for everybody's, particularly those hardworking people who can least afford such a thing. I did three things. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau in Colorado, where Western Union is based. I filed a complaint with the New York State Attorney General's office. And I went to see Fred Thiele, our local State Senator. I had by this time found out that Western Union is regulated state-by-state. So far I have not heard back from the State Attorney General. I did hear from the BBB in Colorado. Through them, I was able to email back and forth with a "customer advocate" at Western Union. He told me, in an email, that, going over my full list of transactions, he'd found four I had sent that had never been picked up. The third thing that happened is that Fred Thiele filed a bill in the State Assembly. It will require Western Union and other companies that transfer people's money for a fee to return any money not delivered after 60 days. Finally, yesterday, I got a letter in the mail, not from Western Union but from the Tennille v. Western Union Settlement Administrator. A class action lawsuit had been filed alleging that Western Union doesn't always timely notify people that money sent hasn't been picked up. Western Union has denied it did anything wrong, but the court is going to decide about a settlement. If the settlement is accepted, about $180 million may be returned to senders whose receivers never picked it up after 60 days. The period covered is January 1, 2001 to January 3, 2013. If the reader thinks they are owed money, they should fill out a form. I did. I also read the small print. The court will hear requests from the plaintiff's lawyers regarding payment, which could be as high as a $54 million cut from the settlement for their services. It's great to be a lawyer, isn't it? I think failing to inform someone where his money is when asked, while all the time having it on hand, is outrageous. I think on a goingforward basis, Western Union will see to it that monies not picked up are returned. I also intend to make copies of the letter from the Colorado court and ask our local locations to post them at their counters. I hope everybody gets their money.

A summer Hamptons staple himself and longtime supporter of both Forks, Flay's participation further enhances the event's list of culinary greats who have hosted Dan's Taste of Two Forks, including Marcus Samuelsson in 2011 and Jean-Georges Vongerichten in 2012. The event will take place Saturday, July 13 at beautiful Sayre Park in Bridgehampton (156 Snake Hollow Road). Tickets are now on sale through the event website, danstasteoftwoforks.com, with VIP tickets available for $235 including early admission from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m and General Admission tickets from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. available for $155. Bobby Flay's culinary versatility is evident in the multiple talents he brings to the field: a critically acclaimed chef/restaurateur, Iron Chef, award-winning cookbook author and television mega-personality. Beginning his career as a cook in New York at age 17, Flay is now the chef/ owner of six fine dining restaurants including Mesa Grill in NYC, Las Vegas and Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas; Bar Americain in NYC and Mohegan Sun Casino and Bobby Flay Steak in Atlantic City, as well as 14 Bobby's Burger Palaces (with four more on the way in 2013 alone). He is the author of 12 cookbooks including his latest, Bobby Flay's Bar Americain Cookbook and Bobby Flay's Barbecue Addiction (April 2013), and is the current host/star of several TV shows on Food Network, including Worst Cooks in America, BBQ Addiction and Next Food Network Star. As a part-time Hamptons resident, Flay welcomes the opportunity to host this year's event, as it will offer him the chance to sample the food and wine of so many of his local East End peers. Dan's Taste of Two Forks has quickly become a favorite summer soirée of locals and visitors alike and is the only East End event that celebrates the best culinary talent from both the North and South Forks of Long Island. Known as "THE food and wine event in the Hamptons," Dan's Taste of Two Forks offers attendees the chance to sample the best dishes participating restaurants have to offer, sip wines from local Long Island vineyards and sample goods from East End purveyors, all in one night. Attendees can expect an elegant summer gathering, and as the sun goes down the music gets turned up and guests may find themselves moving to the music of the incomparable DJ Phresh, back to entertain for the third year. Participating restaurants for 2013 include Nick & Toni's, Georgica, The Bell & Anchor, Navy Beach, The Frisky Oyster, Noah's and Grana Trattoria Antica, with new chefs signing on daily (40-plus expected). Additionally, a portion of this year's ticket proceeds will go to benefit All For The East End (aftee.org), an organization whose goal is to generate significant new and creative sources of funding and organizational support for the not-for-profit organizations of Long Island's East End townships. With the sold-out success of Dan's Taste of Two Forks over the last two summers, event founder Dan's Papers has added a second event for 2013 that will kick off the entire food-filled weekend on Friday July 12— GrillHampton Presented by Pat LaFrieda. A competition-style event, GrillHampton will pit eight East End chefs against eight NYC chefs in a grilling challenge for the ages, with the GrillHampton "Master Chef" determined by a panel of celebrity judges that will include Food & Wine editor Kate Krader and restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow. The event will take place at Sayre Park from 8 to 11 p.m., with general admission tickets priced at $115. Armed with only the grilling essentials, chefs will prepare a range of foods, from beef and Chef Bobby Flay poultry to pork and all the veggies in between. After tasting, the celebrity judges and guests will vote for their favorite dish of the evening, with the judges crowning the "Master Chef" and the guests awarding the "Grill Bite Crowd Pleaser" to one lucky pit master. Participating chefs include Chris Santos (Beauty & Essex), Joey Campanaro (The Little Owl), and Harold Moore (Commerce) representing NYC, and Billy Oliva (Delmonico's), Colin Ambrose (Estia's Little Kitchen), and Bryan Futerman (Foody's) representing the East End.

And the Sag Harbor club does indeed have a special history to toast. In 1963, when the other Hamptons private clubs were saying no to Jewish, African-American and other minority golfers, Noyac was saying yes. "Our roots were as a reaction to other clubs not being as inclusionary as they should be— that's something we're proud of," said Club President Steve Maietta, adding that "the other clubs, since then, have become more inclusive." To get into Noyac, Maietta said, you are judged on "whether you are passionate about golf." Maietta also pointed out that Noyac is unique because it's the only East End course that is tree-lined. Other local courses are links-style. "The club was built in a wooded area, and the designers didn't try to make it look like anything that it wasn't. So it's a parkland course, which presents a different set of challenges to players. It tends to be tighter, not exposed to the wind so much." Because of all the trees, he said, "It is especially beautiful in spring and fall." Founders of the 144-acre, 18-hole, par 72 course included Harry Diner, a dentist who The course in Noyac FINE PLUMBING PRODUCTS SINCE 1921 faucets, fixtures, tile, stone & lighting too. lighting by hudson valley medFord 2700 Rte. 112 mineola 208 Herricks Rd Queens village 217-68 Hempstead Ave riverhead* 431 Route 25A rocky Point 431 Route 25A Wantagh 3480 Sunrise Hwy *Counter only location fixtures by bain ultra southamPton 444 County Rd 39A (631) 283-1500 tile by new ravenna Bohemia 1595 Lakeland Ave Flushing 134-07 Northern Blvd hicksville 50 Hazel St huntington 240 Broadway lynBrook 348 Broadway manhattan 85 5th Ave, 2nd flr had a vacation house in Noyac and played golf at three courses as a guest of his friend Dewey Frankenbach. When his friend got sick and couldn't play anymore, Diner, who was Jewish, was turned down by all three of the clubs he had enjoyed. Diner wouldn't let the rejections come between him and his game. He set about buying property by Peconic Bay, pulled together friends and investors, and on August 30, 1963 the Noyac Land Corporation was formed. Diner was lucky enough to have had a supportive wife, Miriam, and the perfect brother-in-law—one who was good friends with golf course architect William Mitchell. When Diner contacted Mitchell, the two men met at the property just off Noyac Road. Mitchell, dazzled by the woodsy site, was so convinced that the slightly hilly land would make a terrific golf course that he offered to work for free until the project got going. Thus was born the course that ultimately comprised 6,925 yards, the member-owned, member-run, nonprofit and non-discriminating golf club that Diner had envisioned. As a private club, membership is not cheap these days. But in the beginning, it didn't take a whole lot of anything, including money, to get into Noyac. In fact, some early members recall responding to an ad in Dan's Papers, which offered a free round of golf. When they finished the course, the pro at the time would ask, "Would you like to join?" Members are quick to tell you they still don't want to be seen as a chichi country club, but rather one with a relaxed friendliness. Membership has expanded over the half-century to 285 regulars and 115 family members, and includes a few celebrities. Young people get their chance to pick up golf skills at Noyac by caddying, and to hone their skills like such as the Pierson High School golf team, one of the best squads on Long Island. Maietta said that Noyac remains unpretentious and welcoming, eliminating much of the stress that goes with membership in some other clubs. "This is the sort of place where you can just show up and get a game. At other clubs, you have to get a foursome ahead of time. You meet a lot of people this way." One of the people you might meet is an original member from the club's first days, George Boziwick, still going strong, playing on the course that Diner called "my baby." The club has planned several golf and festive social events, culminating in a 50th anniversary gala in the clubhouse.

I participated in this event in 2011, and let me tell you, it's a hilariously great time. There is nothing quite as charming as watching a local with two left feet really make an effort to dance—especially for such a great cause. The money raised from the event will go to "Your Day Away," a wonderful charity that provides the parents of special needs children the means to get away from their daily routines and enjoy a day of fun and dining—all thanks to the efforts of volunteers at the charity who understand the challenges of raising a special needs child. "Dancing With The East End Stars" will take place at 230 Elm in Southampton, and Terri Kiernan (Town of Southampton), Joe Shaw (27 East Press News Group), Alyssa Giruzzi (The Corcoran Group) and Rosane Cassella-Wilson (Southampton Rotary Club) will be among the East End stars stepping out in style. I won't be there this year, but you can watch a video of me dancing away two years ago on my blog at DansHamptons.com. I won "Best Smile." Not surprisingly, I didn't win best dancer. DEN in the hopes of spreading the word about how medical professionals can become more effective at resuscitation, and his record seems to speak for itself: Parnia offers those who need to be resuscitated a 33% chance of coming back to life, as compared to just 16% at other hospitals. He argues that we now know more about what is happening when a person is dead and then brought back to life through CPR than ever before, and that there are things doctors can do in a hospital setting—such as utilizing machines, cooling down the body and increasing oxygen levels in the blood—that more doctors should be focusing on. Parnia believes that if more people understood ways to increase the care level of resuscitation, 40,000 American lives could be saved. This is a man who watches people die every day, does everything he can to bring them back to life, and is having more success then anybody else.

Suffolk County and the United States owe you a great debt. *** On Marriage I was walking down Main Street in Southampton and I saw two guys holding hands together on the sidewalk. I just got engaged, and my immediate thought was, "I can't believe it's even a debate that gay people cannot get married."

C M Y CM MY CY CMY K and berries grow, climbing its trees, camping in its woods, and finding where the old homes once stood and the old roads ran. It took a lifetime of exploring…and love. Now, I see faces in everything—the lie of the marsh grass, a swirl of sand, the bark of a sassafras tree, a piece of driftwood or even a pile of stones. The place is a living, breathing entity. Until a few years ago, I would swim around the Shinnecock peninsula; starting from Heady Creek, into Shinnecock Bay, to come ashore at the edge of Uncle Harry Williams' property on Fort Pond. Scary as it might sound, I never felt any trepidation, even when my kayak capsized two weeks after the spring thaw and I had to swim to shore. It was during that ordeal that I first heard the Spirit laughing and singing in the voices of friends and relatives who'd passed on, all coaxing me to the shore of their last resting place—the Shinnecock Cemetery. I laughed and sang back at them while swimming in that dark frigid water and they gave me the strength to go on. I still laugh and sing down at the cemetery some nights. The Spirit will roar and sing until it finally succumbs to the inevitable, like we all do. Until then, listen for its voice... Depending on the tide, or whether I stopped to catch some sun, or divert into a marsh drain, it was an hour-and-a-half to a two-hour swim. Sometimes my cousin would accompany me in his kayak or rowboat. But mostly I did it alone, bumping into nosy turtles, swimming in schools of snappers or bluefish and flotillas of jellyfish. Stinging jellyfish caused problems, but if I kept my head, got through them, then dove to the bottom for a handful of black creek mud or sand to rub on my skin, it nullified the venom enough to continue on my way. (Imagine being a jellyfish, floating along, minding your own business, only to have a clumsy land animal run into you and ruin your day.) After one such encounter, as I lay on a sandbar covered in mud, a plane flying overhead must have mistook me for a corpse; it circled three times until I waved at it and then it proceeded on its way. The Spirit never let any harm come to me, even if I was more of a danger to myself than anything nature had to throw at me. And those times when fear would began to creep in my head? So, too, did the exhilaration of being alive. It never fails to make me laugh out loud. The Spirit is under threat now, not just from the rising waters of the ocean and bay. There is a rampant disregard for the land where it resides. Roads have been cut through the woods, ostensibly in case there is ever a fire and the fire department trucks have to get through, but follow it and you'll see the scars left by quads and big trucks that leave garbage and debris in the woods. The shore is being eroded by trucks of various individuals who use it for their own gain, mindless or uncaring of the damage they do. In the woods there are fewer wild animals due to noise and domestic pets; where whippoorwill, quail, pheasant, owl, hawk, fox songs were heard, there is now an unnatural quiet—or the sound of revving engines. Still, the Shinnecock peninsula is a beautiful place to live. Sometimes I look across the water at the huge houses on the ocean and wonder— do their owners have a sense of place, time, history of belonging? Do they realize their smallness and insignificance, living on the coast of the huge Atlantic? Judging by the money they're spending on moving sand around in the hopes that it makes a difference, it's doubtful. My father laughs and says one day the ocean will inevitably come over the dunes and reclaim the flat lands, including Shinnecock. Superstorm Sandy and the Nor'easters show that it's already happening. "God doesn't care how much money you have, He'll get what he wants," Dad says. The Spirit will roar and sing until it finally succumbs to the inevitable, like we all do. Until then, listen for its voice every time there is an offshore wind. You might also hear some laughter—that'll be me. James Keith Phillips was born and raised on the Shinnecock Reservation in Southampton.

Which goes to prove that Haynes is keenly aware of the environment, no matter where he is. It's fair to say that this is one of his special strengths: capturing the ambiance of the land, animals and people who occupy the space. Haynes is best known for his works of farm animals in Cornwall, especially sheep. And for good reason. These particular subjects serve diverse purposes: for example, lambs are prevalent in the Bible and other literary sources. Yet Haynes' depictions of sheep are not only spiritual and mythological. He also shows them as down-to-earth animals that have been central to human survival. What was your intention when you painted your friend for the cover? This represents summer in East Hampton. The piece is mixed media, mostly watercolor, on a very heavy, smooth, hard paper that takes detail well. To convey the lovely, lazy feeling of being inside looking out on a hot sunny day, I originally intended to contain the image within the frame of a window, but found that the insect screen itself provided a more subtle context to interpret the scene. I like to suggest an idea rather than beat people over the head with it. on conservation projects for Britain's National Trust where there were some even more remote places. Inevitably, that makes one feel part of a landscape rather than just an observer. It's a less romantic view in a way, but certainly no less deeply rooted. What meanings do sheep have for you and your art? The sheep in my field are mythological, but they are also real-life: heavy and muddy creatures. When I do a painting of them, I often make interesting abstractions as patterns on their fleece. Only yesterday I was watching a lamb that had been half-shorn and left looking like some hybrid of predator and prey. I am reminded of the saying, "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb." You also do figures, like our cover image. Is that normal for you, too? Now I am working on landscapes and figures. I like to switch styles, media and subjects. Can you talk about your poetry? I have written 700 poems, and I hope to publish a selection at some point. I have won two first place prizes in poetry. How do your art and poetry relate? Painting is a bit like poetry, using images in words with awareness of their associations. See works by Toby Haynes at tobyhaynes.com. The sheep in Haynes field are mythological, but they are also real... I'm always looking to make some emotional connection, on whatever level. How did you meet Jean, your cover model, and her husband, David? When I was building myself a studio in Cornwall, I bought a couple of their books and I sent them photos after "Willow's Barn" was built. I came over to visit them, and I liked it so much, I keep coming back. I spend nearly half the year in East Hampton and Manhattan now. How has Cornwall influenced your art? My cottage in Cornwall is fairly isolated and surrounded by farmland and scattered woods—a far cry from East Hampton, let alone New York City. For the first 17 years, there was no electricity, so the natural rhythms of the seasons were more noticeable than usual in a rural setting. Also, I worked for several years Springing into Action on the East End By kelly laffey On Monday, I ran from my house to Coopers Beach along Gin Lane/ Meadow Lane. Unless I'm planning on ending my run in the ocean, which is the best way to recover after logging some miles, I typically avoid running by the beach. In the winter, it's far too windy. And in the summer, there are few trees to provide relief from the beating sun. But post–6 p.m. Monday brought perfect beach run conditions. It was about 50 degrees, sunny and with little wind. I wore black halfspandex, and a bright, lightweight spring jacket I just bought from Lululemon—my latest fashion addiction. (Spring styles have arrived at the Main Street East Hampton store!) As I really dislike running with headphones, this is my ideal running outfit. I put my iPod volume on high, stored the device in my pocket, powered up my RunKeeper app to keep track of distance, and set off. Aside from a few winter runs with my former cross-country teammates scattered around the East Coast, this was the best run I've had since last summer. Nothing beats running with friends. Except for maybe running along the beach in not-too-hot, not-too-cold sunshine with just you, your thoughts and soft country music. I decided to go a little past Coopers and possible to take Montauk Highway the entire logged nine miles for the day. way, making for a quicker trip. And you get I love summer. But my perfect spring run to pass by some great coffee shops for a couldn't happen in the height of the season.

Laffey danshamptons.com DAN'S PAPERS April 12, 2013 Page 31 So Many Waze to Get to the East End By MATTHEW APFEL I spend a lot of time in my car. Too much, really. Now that spring is officially here, it means that summer—a.k.a. Traffic Season—is just around the corner. All the annual driving debates will soon begin anew. When is the best time to leave the city on a Friday? Do I stay on the L.I.E. or head over to Sunrise? What was Robert Moses smoking when he thought of this plan? The choices can be maddening. Here's the good news. I've recently started using a social driving App called Waze that might have some answers to these dilemmas. Here's more: What It Is Waze has actually been around for a while. The company raised eyebrows in 2010 when it raised $25 million series B funding—a staggering amount—on top of an initial venture round in 2008. That's enough dough to pay for lot of speeding tickets. Why did the VCs jump in? Waze combines realtime GPS, turn-by-turn navigation, live traffic conditions and a large social community. The App makes it fun for users to post and access up-to-the-moment information about driving conditions such as traffic reports, accident alerts, weather, and more. And it's free. The Fast Lane: What I Like For a free GPS App, Waze delivers a crisp, accurate view of your planned route. Much has been written (some of it by me) about Apple's crappy map App. It has huge blind spots in data and consistently fails to deliver accurate location and route info. Waze is light years ahead of the Apple Map in this regard. Roads and exits are clearly marked and can be viewed in 2D or 3D for exceptional detail. The system displays traffic conditions, delays and hazards in real time—along with actual speeds for the particular stretch of road. This blows away most other map Apps, which only blink red, yellow or green without providing specific detail. Waze also updates frequently, another strong feature for planning your route and avoiding trouble spots. Waze doesn't stop there. The App also delivers live social postings by other users in your immediate area. As of last fall there were over 30 million registered Waze users, so unless you're driving through Kansas or Montana, you're likely to see lots of road reports. As you watch the map, little icons appear along the road. Tapping an icon reveals a descriptive post from a user with more details about the traffic situation. Potholes, accidents, lane closures, even speed trap locations are right there in front of you. Very useful indeed. Another cool feature: Waze tells you where to find nearby restaurants, gas stations, motels, restrooms and other interest points—with the added value of user reviews and tips. Waze even displays icons showing other users nearby, complete with different graphics to let others know your mood. If you're completely bored you can actually tap the icon to send a "beep" message to the person just ahead of you in the right lane. Then again, maybe you don't want to meet that driver, but it's pretty cool to see fellow travelers in real time. Road Rage: What Needs Improvement The main drawback to Waze is simple, but it's a big one: how are you supposed to check your phone and enter updates while driving? Waze warns that this behavior is illegal and dangerous—which it is. But if you're driving alone, it's very hard to get the most out of the App when you can't pay close attention to it. Here's a cool workaround: I hand the phone to my kids and make them our honorary navigators. They love posting, reading the alerts, and playing a real role in our drive. It's a great diversion from DVDs and typical car entertainment. Finish Line: The Rating Despite its one big flaw, I give Waze a green light. It's especially fun with a co-pilot to maximize the flow of information.

Martha says it's simple, and if she can do it despite her busy schedule, what excuse have I? Besides, I just love yellow squash, all the squashes really. But try as I may, I never seem able to grow them. Yellow Squash Seed Packet: "Holy God, it's her! Zucchini! Zucch! Wake up! It's her! She's here...oh man...she's looking at me, you and Spaghetti Squash." Spaghetti Squash: "What's wrong with that? Don't we want to be looked at and bought?" Yellow Squash: "Yeah, but not by her. She's not normal. Everybody else takes us home and puts us in a drawer and forgets about us. Some people, real gardeners, plant us and take care of us so we grow. But not her. She plants us, remembers to water us once or twice, then forgets about us, leaving us to die a slow death of thirst." Zucchini: "Or get dug up by cats using our garden for a potty. Or choked out by weeds. She's a squash killer." Spaghetti Squash: "Just squash? What does she have against us?" Yellow Squash: "Nobody knows, maybe she had a squash trauma in her childhood. Maybe she was forced to eat squash by one of those '50s parents who were members of the Clean Plate Club. Whatever it was, she's been punishing us ever since. Oh jeez, she's looking for her glasses. Quick, somebody ask the flower packs to jump over here in front of us." Zucchini: "The Zinnias and Pansies said they'd help," Yellow Squash: "Thank God. Quick, throw me a Pansy! Perfect! Everybody covered up? She's got her glasses on and she's really starting to look. Nobody move a pip." Zucchini: "It's working...she's looking but not finding...oh no, she's gonna spin the display rack, everybody grab your spin partner and hold on!" Yellow Squash: "Looks like she's giving up. We might have caught a break here." Zucchini: "Looks like she's changing her focus...she's looking at the salad guys...the lettuces and cucumbers, maybe the tomatoes too...should we tell them?" Yellow Squash: "Shhh...Don't say anything..." Zucchini: "That's not fair, man, we need to warn them." Yellow Squash: "There is a time and place to be noble and this is neither. And if you open your big mouth now, I'll tell the Plum Tomato girl that I saw you with that Zinnia." Zucchini: "That's dirty pool man, you know I only asked this Zinnia to get in my basket for survival." Yellow Squash: "Yeah, and try to sell that to your tomato. You know tomatoes are the redheads of the produce world...they got those tempers...shoulda dated a Sweet Pea, like my girl.' For some reason, I've been having trouble finding squash seeds. Maybe they've become more popular than I realized. Martha says they're the easiest plants to grow, guess the secret got out.

I'm told that the historic North Fork barn will be "filled to the rafters with rustic wedding inspiration!" Maggie Lord herself will be on hand to sign copies of her dreamy book Rustic Wedding Chic. She's the prime author, blogger and wedding expert behind the rustic wedding movement. She told me, "I'm so excited to be part of the Rustic Wedding Showcase at the Hallockville Museum Farm and to be able to have a chance to connect with RusticWeddingChic.com readers. When multiple wedding vendors and professionals come together like this it offers a wonderful experience for brides-to-be to speak with the vendors in an intimate and more relaxed way." I own her book, so I'll probably have her sign my copy. I can't wait to check it all out. I've been visiting Hallockville a lot lately—last week I took a canning class there, in June I'll be back for a seed-saving seminar. I guess Hallockville is getting into the business of hosting rustic weddings. Seems like a great fit for this old, working farm and its many preserved buildings. Rustic weddings are often set on farms and in wineries. In fact, there's a gorgeous spread in the book of a wedding that was held at the Wölffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack. As Lord writes, "Getting the chance to see how real brides have brought their rustic weddings to life will give you even more enthusiasm for planning your own wedding and serve as a jumping-off point for further inspiration." Am I getting married? Um, no. Am I planning a wedding? Not so much. I guess I'm a "wedding enthusiast." Why am I so into this rustic wedding stuff? It's so cool! It's all about vintage fabulousness derived from thrift stores and attics. You've heard of Shabby Chic, peeling paint and cabbage roses everywhere—Rustic Wedding Chic glorifies the stuff of our grandmothers' lives: canning jars, doilies, embroidery, paper ephemera, rhinestones, gowns, velvet accessories—and transforms it all into a modern celebration of vintagey luxe. Plus it's all about mixing high and low—ball gowns and burlap, silk flowers and old suitcases. Everything works together with some planning and an eye for design. This is so my thing! Luckily my friend's daughter is getting married on her farm next month. Hopefully it'll provide an outlet for my newfound need to help amp up the rusticity of modern matrimony. I have a lot to learn. According to Lord there are "three main types of rustic weddings: vintage rustic, country rustic and woodland rustic. From there, we focus on the popular styles such as barn, farm, lakeside, backyard and mountain weddings." Wow, I'm a little bit country and a little bit vintage, but I'll get this all straight if it kills me. I just finished reading Lord's book. Such eye candy! And she told me that she has another coming out—"As a follow-up book to Rustic Wedding Chic I will be releasing my second book, Barn Weddings (Gibbs Smith Publishing) in August. Barn Weddings focuses on helping couples find their personal wedding style and offering decor and design tips while showcasing amazing real barn weddings and styled shoots." I wish more couples would embrace Lord's advice to hire blue grass or folk bands to play at weddings and cocktail hours. I'm so tired of obnoxious DJs and blasted "classics" from the likes of Lionel Richie and what passes for "country" these days. Don't even get me started on wedding cake vs. cupcakes vs. pie. Wonder if my husband would like to renew some vows with me and we have a lot of old stuff around the house… For more information visit Rusticweddingguide.com and Hallockville.com. what the finest homes in the hamptons are wearing... ation Install n withi weeks 2 1/2 r Large New 8" 14'ction Proje Retr acta ble Scre ens Perg & ola Cov ers • GO Green...reduce air conditioning costs by 25% • Sunesta® Awnings are custom made with over 200 fabric options available • Block the sun, lower your energy costs & reduce indoor temperatures all at once • Call us today for a free in-home estimate 631-287-6080 Call Carol or Bill Duffy 888-awning-8 for a free estimate www.EastEndAwning.com Custom door and window awnings.

Bright Skies Initiative Begins April 11 EAST END: The first-annual East End Bright Skies Initiative will run from April 11 until April 18. The purpose of the East End Bright Skies Advisory Committee (EEBSAC) is to encourage light optimization and to increase awareness of how dangerous driving conditions are under an inky black sky, particularly given the area's massive deer problem. "We are aware that the first day of the Bright Skies Initiative coincides with the last day of the Dark Skies Initiative," said a spokesperson for EEBSAC. "But dark skies and bright skies are not mutually exclusive. You could enjoy the starry night sky and drive safer if cat's eyes were installed on major thoroughfares." To participate in Bright Skies, residents are encouraged to keep all lights on in their homes, string Christmas lights all around their property, drive with their brights on, throw floating lights in pools, bays and the ocean, and to walk around with as many flashlights as they can hold. As an added incentive, the EEBSAC will reward the most welllit household with a check to pay the month's utility bill. Michael Ostin Joins AFTEE Board, Cablevision Signs on as Sponsor EAST END: All For The East End (AFTEE) has announced the addition of Michael Ostin— music, film and show producer/manager and former president of DreamWorks Records—to its board of directors. Ostin has more than 30 years of music industry experience, and is one of the most prodigious executives in the entertainment business, with extensive relationships throughout the industry. At DreamWorks, Ostin's responsibilities included the management of daily operations, and he collaborated closely with David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, as well as with other members of DreamWorks SKG, the premier film and animation studio. Since Dreamworks Records was acquired by the Universal Music Group in 2003, Ostin has continued to consult with the Universal Music Group, has ventured into TV production, and is an investor and associate producer of the Broadway hit The Book Of Mormon. "We are thrilled to have Michael Ostin join us on the AFTEE board," said Myron Levine, AFTEE founder and Board President. "With a major concert as our signature fundraising event, his advice and expertise will be invaluable in building a successful event that will ultimately benefit the many worthy not-for-profit organizations that contribute so much to the East End." AFTEE has also announced Cablevision has joined as a major sponsor (a group that includes Dan's Papers). Cablevision has committed to bringing its media resources to the table and assisting AFTEE in spreading the word about the organization and the concert event. All For The East End is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose primary purpose is to raise awareness of the role not-for-profit groups play in making the East End of Long Island one of the most desirable places to live and to establish a fund of new money that they will have access to through a grant process.

Lilly Pulitzer, 81 PALM BEACH: Fashion icon Lilly Pulitzer Rosseau passed away in Palm Beach during the early hours of Sunday, April 7. A fixture at many Hamptons events, the colorful Lilly dresses were designed by Pulitzer while she was working at a juice stand in Palm Beach. To disguise the juice stains on her clothes, she created the now-iconic, colorful, sleeveless cotton dress. The Lilly Pulitzer clothing line reached new heights when First Lady Jackie Kennedy, Pulitzer's former classmate, was photographed wearing a design. "Jackie wore one of my dresses—it was made from kitchen curtain material—and people went crazy," Pulitzer once said. "They took off like zingo. Everybody loved them, and I went into the dress business." Fans can still find her designs at the brand's East Hampton store. danshamptons.com DAN'S PAPERS April 12, 2013 Page 35 DAN'S GOES TO...

DAN'S PAPERS danshamptons.com WINERIES Drink in the whole North Fork! Must-See Exhibit at Suffolk County Historical! By deBBie slevin W hen someone dropped a box of items off at the Longwood Estate in Brookhaven, where Diane Schwindt has been director for the past 10 years, she didn't know her life was about to change. "There was an apron in there and I threw it on," she remembers. "My staff thought it looked silly. The next day I wore another…" And now the majority of her collection of 169 vintage aprons is hanging in the Suffolk County Historical Society (SCHS) Museum in Riverhead, through May 1. Schwindt started to collect them at yard sales and thrift shops. "People started giving them to me," she says, "and all of a sudden this whole world of aprons unfolded….There was a town fair and the quilt lady couldn't come." The Brookhaven town historian suggested she show the aprons, so she hung them on the side of a barn and the exhibition was born. "Each time I iron them and get them ready for presentation, I see more in the aprons about the women who had them….I realized they were a symbol of a time period that women were under cover." She started to research the stitching and styles— the differences and details. As a fiber artist, she appreciates the craft that goes into each item and now identifies and dates each apron by style, fabric and handiwork and records them in a journal. She points out that some of the aprons have very specific features. They are made of gingham and taffeta, cotton and organza. There are little buttons to hold potholders, and ones with really long ties for very big an apron anymore?" Now that the word is out, people are gifting bows. Some have a little pocket on the front that is just the right size for a cell phone. It held the lady's Schwindt with aprons often, but she in only interested in the ones with stories.

New Comedy Sci Fi Filming in Montauk By robert ottone H eather Fink looks at Hoboken, New Jersey and parts of Long Island as the "suburbs of New York City," essentially. "Brothers from another mother," as she puts it. There are plenty of folks who would agree with this viewpoint, I'm sure. Talking to Fink, it becomes apparent that she genuinely loves New York, loves the East End of Long Island and is incredibly excited to be shooting her first featurelength effort, http 404, which is about a group of people who band together to save the internet at Camp Hero's somewhat-mythological radar tower. Everyone's heard the rumors of Nazi-forged UFOs after the close of World War II, theories on the Montauk Monster and, probably my favorite of all; interdimensional travel technology. With all that wackiness in mind, it seems only appropriate for Camp Hero to be the setting for a comedic science fiction adventure. Fink was inspired to write the film on a birthday trip to the East End with friends, and upon seeing the radar tower, Fink knew she had to write a film about it. "Oh my God, it would be so awesome if there was a movie where someone had to hack that radar tower to save the world! Then, I took that idea, coupled it with a concept I already believe in, which is that the internet is artificial intelligence.

He'd been out of work for more than a year, having lost the knack; he was told, of finding "the next new thing" for The Village Voice and then for New York Magazine. He's also divorced, and estranged from his only child Sylvia, a verbal chip off the old block doing smut lit online in California. He takes the offer—it will once again test his bullshitting talents, not to mention providing Klein (the award-winning author of The History of Now and Plato and a Platypus walked Into a Bar) with another opportunity to show off his smarts and ability to fashion a shrewd, often hilarious critique of contemporary mores. When Digby's not into tokes, he's into taking serious aim—"potshots"(!)— particularly at academia and pop culture, though affectation anywhere, including his own as a putdown artist, defines his style. Nothing Serious is plenty serious as satire (which, of course, is a critical genre in the comic mode), probing the being and nothingness of mortal man's eternal quest to know, to belong, to find a home in a hostile universe that's mostly of his own making. As the story line evolves, however, Digby finds himself in a strange, almost willing suspension of mocking disbelief—he starts to care about making Cogito a success, despite hostile colleagues and an indifferent owner, the widow of the founder, who hired him. And he begins to care deeply about a woman pastor at the local Unitarian church, a straight-talking skeptic with whom he senses instant simpatico. His change of heart, a genuine stirring, conquers his defensive "over-the-top nonchalance" as a New York City "wiseass." Digby identifies with various philosophers who seem to reflect his moods, but he also increasingly questions his identifications so that he comes to accept what's happening to him—slipping into love, without totally abandoning his wily ways. The reader roots for this "experienced garden-variety, low-grade manic-depressive," and for Cogito, especially after Digby's discovers that the owner is planning a kind of Mel Brooks Producers-like failure for the magazine. Style suits substance. Klein's use of a limited third-person point of view—a good move for a protagonist who thinks he can objectify himself—is on occasion critiqued by italicized ruminations that present different analyses, while the narrative as a whole proceeds in the present tense so that real- world action corrects Digby's interior existential monologues. The "imposter, charlatan, quack in tweeds" finds himself for the first time in his life, smitten with an intelligence worthy of his own, but he can also still dish it out, as when he would shut up a Russian mathematician by "citing a fundamental dictum of logical positivism, namely that the whole enterprise of moral philosophy is about as rationally based as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," or heaven, which is the subject of Cogito's first issue. The old Cogito was "enough to relax a recalcitrant sphincter." Under Digby's direction, it will strike a "delicate balance between snark and sapience." And be accessible. But is Nothing Serious accessible? At one point in their growing Platonic (philosophically ideal) relationship (at least for now), Digby says to Mary that the stuff she reads is "awfully hard," and he wonders about other "people who just don't get the hang of abstract thinking." Will they "get left out in the cold?" There are indeed lots of references and allusions to philosophy and philosophers in Klein's novel—and ambivalence about the value of the discipline itself—but the reader doesn't get left out in the cold. You don't have to be, or have been, an academic to enjoy the send up here or what turns out to be an eccentric but engaging love story. danshamptons.com arts & entertainment April 12, 2013 Page 39 Local Music Man Mick Hargreaves Hits the Road By robert ottone M ick Hargreaves' music has deep roots on Long Island. Just listening to a few of his tracks, notably "Hometown" and "Crashing Down," you get a strong sense of just how a place can influence an artist. With the release of his latest CD, Best, Hargreaves explores the concepts surrounding the artistry of delivering solid rock tracks, while also playing with the notion of having substance behind expert guitar playing and powerful, emotional sound. "Pete Mancini and I are featured performers as part of this great concert series in Patchogue and that's sorta' what's kicking off our tour. We'll be playing all over the Northeast, the mid-Atlantic region. We'll be finishing up at Crossroads in Amagansett on April 27," Hargreaves said, talking excitedly about the tour. and chatting with my assembled chums over the nature of the music. We kept coming up with the following hodgepodge of terms to describe the tunes: melancholy, youthful, wistful, driving, calm. "Like a lot of people, The Beatles and the Stones were hugely influential on me. Specifically, they were what I was touching on. The Beatles were like a window backwards for me, I wanted to know more about who influenced them and who they, in turn influenced," Hargreaves said. "I wanted to get to the fundamental origins of all this rock and roll stuff, you know? Nick Lowe, like Paul McCartney, is a great pop songwriter who also happens to play bass. I started out on cello, then bass, then guitar. The fact that Lowe and McCartney played bass was a huge connection for me." Hargreaves is focused on touring right now, as well as producing. The tour has really given him a chance to put together his musical library onto one record after most of his music was out-of-print or unavailable. "Pete and I are trying to push our horizons out a bit and its fun. Two guys with guitars in a small car. We're excited to play for fans who may not have seen us in a long time." Some of the lyrics to Hometown include the lines: "Take a ride in your home town—have a quick look around. Used to be such a loud place—now there's hardly a sound. And the place was on fire—but the flames have gone cold. Is it really that way—or are you just getting old?" These are lyrics I'm sure many people can relate to the older they get. Having taken a ride around my home town, remaining friends with the guys I grew up with, Hargreaves' words are bittersweet in that they perfectly encapsulate that feeling of growing and changing, while also holding onto the memories and love we shared in our youth. Mick Hargreaves workin' the axe! Hargreaves will also be hitting the Stephen Talkhouse on April 26. The Talkhouse is legendary for having acts that go on to be huge and for having current popular artists swing by to play a few songs for the crowd. The Talkhouse show isn't with Pete Mancini, but with Hargreaves' usual band, The King Guys. Butchers Blind, another local act, is also scheduled to make an appearance at the show. This latest tour is something of a bare bones, grassroots effort for Hargreaves and Mancini. The basic premise is that the two men are throwing their equipment and instruments in a car and cruising around the Northeast. It's a refreshing concept and works well with the kind of music the two play. "I'm very excited for the East End leg of the tour. We'll be coming back from northern Virginia, Baltimore, those kinds of places, but once we're back in New York and hitting the East End, I'll have my entire band with me, so I'm excited. The final gig we're playing is going to be recorded for broadcast on 88.3 on the East End." Hargreaves' music isn't all that dissimilar to Nick Lowe, the English singer-songwriter responsible for the college-rock anthem "Cruel To Be Kind." The connection between Hargreaves and Lowe is obvious, and is perhaps best-described as "pub rock," the kind of great, fun tunes you listen to while share with friends over a few beers.

Hot Flicks This Week It's A Disaster One thing is certain: it takes a lot of guts to title a film It's A Disaster. Just think of the hay that critics could make out of such a title if they happen to think the film IS, in fact, a disaster. Or what happens if the film flops commercially? The headlines write themselves. The premise of the film: a bunch of thirty-something couples get together for a brunch— it could be a party except for two important details. For one thing, these are not happy, loving couples (in fact, at least one married couple in the film has decided to call it quits.). For another thing, there's actually an apocalyptic disaster happening concurrent to their brunch, practically outside the door. Much comedy is derived from the fact that the characters in the film are too wrapped up in their relationship issues to pay much mind to the fact that the world may indeed be ending. Julia Stiles heads up an ensemble cast. Scary Movie V The latest in the horror spoof franchise, Scary Movie V features take-offs of some recently released fright flicks. Also fun: cameo appearances from the likes of Charlie Sheen and Leonardo DiCaprio. 42 The story has often been told of the Brooklyn Dodgers signing Jackie Robinson in 1946 and thus breaking Major League Baseball's racist color line. Titled after the number that Robinson wore for the Dodgers, the new film 42 looks at the story behind the scenes—how Robinson entered into the formerly all-white Major Leagues with the understanding that he would face physical and verbal abuse and not be able to fight back, and that he wouldn't be free of the hassles and indignities of racism and Jim Crow just because he was a gifted ball-player. The filmmakers have sought to bring 40's Brooklyn to life on the screen, and appear to have spared no expense in this period piece. With Chadwick A. Boseman as Jackie Robinson and Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey, the man who signed Robinson. Disconnect Jason Bateman and Hope Davis star in Disconnect, perhaps the first big feature film to deal directly with the effect of cell phones, texting, and ubiquitous internet on human relationships. In the film, ordinary people find their lives turned upside-down because of their online activities, and find their personal interactions competing with their cell phones for their distracted attention. The film poses the questions: where is all of this apparent digital "connectedness" getting us when it seems to result in failed communication between husbands and wives, parents and children? How are the temptations of the digital world causing well-meaning people to engage in destructive behaviors? Whether it turns out to be a great film or not, bravo to Disconnect for raising the right questions. ua east hampton cinema 6 (+) (631-324-0448) 30 Main Street, East Hampton ua southampton cinema (+) (631-287-2774) 43 Hill Street, Southampton sag harbor cinema (+) (631-725-0010) 90 Main Street, Sag Harbor Closed Tuesday and Wednesday ua hampton bays 5 (+) (631-728-8251) 119 West Montauk Highway, Hampton Bays mattituck cinemas (631-298-SHOW) 10095 Main Road, Mattituck hampton arts (Westhampton beach) (+) (631-288-2600) 2 Brook Road, Westhampton Beach Village cinema (greenport) (631-477-8600) 211 Front Street, Greenport Closed for the season. montauk movie (631-668-2393) 3 Edgemere Road, Montauk Closed for the season.

Whether entertaining guests, appreciating the aesthetics or just swimming for exercise, there are plenty of reasons to have a pool built in your backyard. Growing up, the thrill of jumping off the diving board and splashing into the deep end of our pool was always a blast. Games of volleyball and pool wrestling were always a great time. Of course, plenty has changed since I was a kid, and to learn a bit more about the latest innovations and trends in pools, I turned to the experts at J. Tortorella Custom Swimming Pools and Kazdin Pools, Inc. "I think, without question, the most popular thing in pools today is what we call 'negative edge,'" said John Tortorella. "Another term is 'infinity edge,' they're very popular and have a higher price tag." A "negative edge" or "infinity edge" pool is, essentially, a pool constructed to give the appearance that the water goes directly to the horizon, in effect, vanishing from the eye. Both companies were in agreement that probably the most popular technical innovation in pools today is automation. "Pretty much all the pools we build today all are able to be run from your smartphone," Tortorella said. "You can turn any feature on, get PH readings—it's so interactive and amazing." Green technology is also incredibly popular at the moment. "Magneto-driven pumps are very energy efficient. Depending on the specific products and manufacturers, combined with the automation, the water heats up and cools down faster. It's incredibly sophisticated," said George Kazdin. "A magneto-driven pump just consumes far less energy than the older pumps. Add to the fact that the reduction of RPMs results in something around $500 in savings a year in terms of operating your pool." However, even if a pool relies on green technology, it's still recommended that a pool is shocked with chlorine at least every two weeks. "Salt is nothing more than sodium and chloride. It creates a very nice swimming/ bathing environment, but for someone taking Dreaming of summer days? care of their own pool, you can run two, maybe three weeks with a salt system and get away with Tortorella upped the ante in terms of the ridiculous it," Kazdin said. "As long as there's the proper salt when he installed a pool shaped like a hatchet. In my younger years, having a heated pool made content in the pool, the device works, but you still have to balance all the chemicals in the pool. At the you a hot shot. But now, with the reduced RPM and end of the day, chlorine is the safest, fastest way to green-driven magneto pumps, outdoor kitchens and wine refrigerators and hatchet-shaped pools, I feel kill bacteria in your swimming pool." Pools that are designed to utilize a kind of garden like having a heated pool simply isn't enough.

By matthew apfel I t's April. In spite of the plethora of winter storms and beach erosion on the East End, spring has come! I enjoy a thorough spring cleaning as much as the next person, so I was happy when my editors sent an email wondering how to clean their tablets, phones and other gadgets. Time for a column! Most people rarely clean their tech devices, but it's actually a very important practice for several reasons. First, there's the personal hygiene thing. Typing on keyboards and swiping touchscreens can leave behind some seriously gnarly germs, especially if you share the device with your kids. Don't believe me? Search the term "keyboard germs" and see the results. One study found that computer keyboards contain five times more bacteria than the average toilet seat. Yikes. The health of your gadget is just as important. An accumulation of dust, loose particles and other garbage can slow down performance and damage the guts of your device. True, dirt probably won't completely destroy your laptop, but why risk it when it's so easy to just clean the thing every now and then? Here are some suggested products and practices for germ-free gadgets. 1. Clean the Screen Experts recommend wiping the touchscreen on your tablet or phone at least twice a week. There are lots of solvents and solutions on the market, but you don't need them. In fact, Windex and other fancy chemicals can damage the CPU and circuitry if they Use a simple microfiber lens cleaner for your screens. seep inside the device. You should also avoid abrasive cleaning materials such as paper towels, Kleenex and even linen napkins; they can create tiny scratches that get larger over time. Some people purchase expensive screen protectors that cover the touchscreen, but I think this is overkill. All you really need is a simple microfiber eyeglass or lens cleaner. They go for $3–$10 online, depending on size and quality. Slightly dampen the cloth for more cleaning power, but be very careful as water and electronics don't mix. Also, don't press too hard, as that can damage the screen pixels. And remember, always power down the device when cleaning it. This will reduce the chance of water damage. 2. Air It Out Your keyboard and mouse are also huge dirt and dust collectors. As with touchscreens, it's best to keep it simple. There's no need to spend $200 on a toner vacuum or $75 on a custom screwdriver that lets you remove and scrape every crevice under dirty keys. A $3 can of Air Duster will get the job done. You just attach the thin straw to the nozzle, shake well, and then spray into all the nooks and crannies on the computer. This will remove about 90% of the dirt and dust before problems even start, which is more than enough precaution. You can also use Air Duster on the bottom of your mouse to make sure the light diode is free of dirt. For deeper cleaning, gently brush the light with a Q-Tip. If you have a desktop PC, I also recommend cleaning the fan that's typically found in the back of the PC tower. Only do this if the fan is readily accessible; you can do more harm than good trying to open your computer and remove its guts. 3. Wash It Up If you're an OCD type, or related to Howard Hughes, there's another product to consider: a washable keyboard. That's not a typo; they really make these things. The Logitech K310 sells for about $40 online. It connects with your computer via USB, but that's not why you should buy it. You should buy it because you can dump the entire keyboard, intact, in the kitchen sink for a thorough scrubbing. How is this possible? The Logitech comes with drainage holes that let water escape the inside. Its keys are laser-printed and specially coated to make sure soap and water won't erase the letters.

By stacy dermont H as anyone ever told you that "You need professional help!"? We all do. In launching my first home garden I decided to get all the professional advice and help possible. I haven't yet planted the thing but I'm already dealing with a lot of "fertile ground." I read all the classic books and I tapped into our local experts. I thought it would be helpful to share a distillation of what I've learned, okay what I've been told, so far. I'm sharing the garden with my neighbor Karen. She had gardens for over 30 years in Massachusetts. She's ecstatic that the soil here is not so rocky and the weather milder. She teaches me patience and caution, though. "Are you sure we should plant so soon?" "Won't that plant need full sun?" "Bamboo, are you kidding?" We brought in local garden and landscaping expert Jeanelle Myers. She writes Dan's Papers "View from the Garden" column. It's a popular column because it's specific to our microclimate, and it offers very practical advice on growing plants and maintaining a lawn organically. Herbs and spices are precious, irreplaceable things. Peter Garnham gave a talk on growing seedlings indoors that blew my mind. She sat down with us and offered tips on where to buy what. She stressed the need to support growers P.S. MICAZA INTERIORS, INC.

We've purchased $160 worth of organic seeds so far—all Jeanelle approved. There will be no Genetically Modified Organisms in our garden (unless my son's teenage friends count). What we didn't bargain for was just how practical Jeanelle can be. After a few versions of a garden plan drafted in pencil on graph paper Karen thought she had the final version in hand. Jeanelle took one look at it and said, "Hmmm." Then she completely realigned and revamped its layout, maximizing our use of the space. Of course she was right. What were we thinking when we lined our raised beds up against the deer fencing? I went to a talk and tasting given by Rick Bogusch of the Peconic Land Trust. Most of what he talked about I already knew about herbs and cooking. But it served as a good reminder that herbs and spices are precious, irreplaceable things and that if you ever want to impress someone you should memorize some Latin names. Peter Garnham gave a talk on growing seedlings indoors that blew my mind. I was doing everything by the book—all wrong.

Smartly dressed ladies wear gloves in the garden Tess at the Cauliflower Association convinced me that a 1-1-1 mix of potting soil, manure and compost could bring a dead plant back to life and was therefore the ideal for the garden. Sounded good—so I bought a bag of each and used that mix to fill two large planters. (Please don't tell my husband that I brought a bag of manure home in our van, I promised him I'd never do that. He's such a city slicker. Though he did at long last do me the favor of peeing on our compost heap, maybe he's loosening up.) We brought in Renato Stafford of Homegrown to take a walk through our space and share his thoughts. He confirmed that we'd placed our garden in the best spot for sun. He cautioned us against placing our proposed fruit trees so close to a building. We're seriously considering having him install one of his hoophouses this fall—so that we can grown greens all winter long.

When given the assignment to describe my dream man cave, my mind immediately began racing at the possibilities. Something in an actual cave, hidden by a waterfall, with some kind of supercomputer and a closet full of disguises would be the best man cave possible. Then I realized that I hadn't come up with the perfect man cave, I had just basically cribbed Batman's Bat Cave. For those who aren't familiar with the term, a "man cave" it's like Superman's Fortress of Solitude, only dedicated to the "manly" aspects of humanity, or, whatever the man who constructed the room finds awesome. What I would have in my man cave, dear reader, would almost certainly be different from your man cave. Every good man cave should start with one eye- grabbing piece, with the rest of the room built around that item. Being a huge movie and video game nerd, I decided that the first luxury I would afford myself would be a nice flatscreen. Being something of a brand nerd, the 84-inch LG UltraHD has quickly become the television of my dreams. Having seen this beautiful piece of tech in action (the 3D actually looks solid), in the construction of my dream man cave, this TV should be the focal point for all things entertainment. The television itself uses tech that's basically four times the current 1080 standard of highdefinition broadcasting. Even though there isn't a tremendous amount A flat screen TV is a must-have in my man cave.

Japan has plans to broadcast the 2014 World Cup in 4K, so, hopefully, the United States won't be far behind in broadcasting such HD-quality events, as well. Oh, and the television costs around $20,000. We'll move on to a glorious Blu-ray player. Fortunately, these have gotten incredibly inexpensive over the past couple years, so, I'd probably go with the best player from the company that developed Blu-ray tech, Sony. Using a PlayStation 3 would probably be the best option here. I'd rarely use the system for gaming, to be honest, it'd strictly be a Bluray player. For games, I'd have to go with an Xbox 360. We're on the cusp of new systems, with Sony reportedly launching their PlayStation 4 this fall/ winter, however; there's still a little life in the Xbox 360, so, as a "gamer," that system would find a home in my man cave. In order to properly satiate the needs of those I'd have over to enjoy whatever 4K programming I could scrounge up (read: not much), I'd need a proper mini-fridge to provide libations for guests. I'm not the biggest fan of canned beer or canned beverages of any kind, so that remarkable mini-fridge that launches cans to lazy layabouts is out of the question. I suppose a glass door mini-fridge would be in order, that way I could keep track of my supply of Rolling Rock, Shock Top and whatever iced tea I happen to have in stock. Throw in a water fountain that squirts iced tea and I'll be happy. My latest addiction is cigar smoking. I've also taken a journey down the wine snob rabbit hole as of late. These two vices would force me to construct a walk-in humidor in the man cave, as well as an epic wine rack loaded with enough wine to suit any taste. I'm on a Beaujolais kick right now, for the record. Because I'm a geek for the written word, I'd love bookshelves and magazine racks loaded with my favorite comics, mags and books. A Bret Easton Ellis shrine would be in order. Next to that, a collection of Alan Moore comics, including all 12 issues in the original 1986 run of Watchmen. Favorite film posters could line the walls, as well, The Dark Knight, Wall Street, Boyz 'N The Hood, etc. Maintaining my man cave wouldn't be much work. Dusting would be required, as would an air filtration system for the cigar-smoking. Restocking of the minifridge is a must, purchasing new bottles of wine, etc. While I may go bankrupt in the construction of such a cave, it seems worth it to have my own little slice of heaven in my home.

But if you are the tenant, you are in luck. No such thing will happen. Both landlord and tenant sign a lease, which will have wording to the effect that if you, the tenant, do everything right, you may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the premises for the rental term. You are protected, no matter how much the landlord wants to peek. If you're a first-time landlord you may fear your home is going to be ravaged by wolves. But with buffers like a real estate broker, a great lease and references, it can be a calm and rewarding experience. The thing to note is this: A great lease is like a great negotiation; No one gets everything, but everyone gets just enough. Remember the references, because the lease most likely will state that the broker is not the managing agent for the premises, and he/she is not responsible for mediating any disputes between landlord and tenant. You are basically on your own, Landlord, so get those references. Picture this: You're a first-time tenant. You arrive, and the house is a disaster. Maybe you didn't take the time to come and see it. Or maybe it looks different. Now you're thinking, your summer is a bust. Wrong. There's typically a clause for that, namely one which says that you can notify the landlord within five days from the beginning of your rental term of any deficiencies, breakage or other damage that existed at the commencement of the rental term. And the landlord can be called upon to rectify these. So get crackng, Tenant, and speak up in those five days. A great lease is like a great negotiation. No one gets everything, but everyone gets just enough of what they want. Usually the landlord and the tenant should have some commonality, so it would be helpful if the two of you meet before signing anything. If you are the landlord, and your potential tenant says she has the same taste in furnishings as you do, then you know you're a match. If the potential tenant asks you if you will store all your furniture elsewhere, then you know you're not.

Then he covered the rest of the furniture with white sheets. Whatever you read into it, there's a clause for that to protect the landlord from insanity. In effect, it will say that the tenant agrees to make no alterations to the premises without the landlord's express written consent. These days, it seems like people are more likely to stay in and party than go out. In olden days—the '90s���people went straight from the beach to the tea dances, and from the tea dances they transitioned into night dancing until the crack of dawn. Was it a wilder time? I'm not sure, given all the tents that now pop up every summer all over the place. Oh, the wear and tear! But there's a clause for that too. It says something like: No large parties with accompanying structures such as tents, sound systems, etc., will be allowed without prior written consent of the landlord. Landlords, think of your lawn and insert that clause! Also on the uptick and more common than in the past are the following: a pet deposit from the tenant for any dogs, cats, aquatics and exotics; tenant gets the beach sticker; tenant gets Tenant's Insurance; tenant supplies a utility and services deposit for monthly household bills. This is not to be confused with the security deposit, which is for damages. This summer, like every summer before it, Memorial Day weekend will come, and tenants won't be able to wait to get here. You can spot them— they're the ones with the wide eyes. Smart landlords will be the ones who are calm, cool and collected, and who are building that treehouse only for the kids-—in the fall.

There are many fertilizers available but in my years of gardening I have ceased using most of them. Though studies have been done for many years on the effects of antibiotics used in the production of animals, fish and seafood, this information is just beginning to seep into mainstream awareness. We are learning that these drugs are showing up in our meat, vegetables, milk and water. They are major contributors to the antibiotic-resistant super bacteria infecting humans, which are becoming dangerously ubiquitous. Because the antibiotics can lose their effectiveness in the animals over time, higher and higher doses of antibiotics are used. About 30% to 80% of these drugs are excreted in manure and many of them seep into the ground water from runoff and manure pits. When manure is spread onto farm soil, so are the antibiotics. Although all of the effects on soil have not been fully studied, it's known that some break down and some do not. In the soil, they disrupt the essential biological activity that's necessary to feed plants. Plants, especially root crops, absorb them and we then eat them. Some studies say that high temperature composting breaks down some of them—but how does one know if that composted manure fertilizer has been made at Don't dose your plant friends with antibiotics BLUE SPRUCE Starting at $ and up! 50 Greenland Family Farms 1,000s of perennials and shrubs now in.

I assume that antibiotics are in dried manure and that any fertilizer containing blood or bone meal, chicken byproducts or feathers contains antibiotics. Even fish emulsion contains preservatives, heavy metals and toxins. There are plant-based fertilizer materials (more than one kind may be needed depending on what each supplies) such as alfalfa, cottonseed, corn and flax meals but these are made from plants grown from GMO seeds. The above is a very limited report of the many aspects of antibiotics in meat production and GMO seeds. I have spent many hours studying these, will spend many more and still not know the full ramifications. For these reasons, I use no fertilizers containing any animal or fish products, though many of them are allowed for organic growing. (Know that many dogs will eat soil upon which anything containing blood meal has been used.) For eight years, I was an estate gardener and had complete control of everything that went into the large compost pile. If you have a garden, flower or vegetable, you can do this. The compost can be used as-is and a tea can be made of it and applied. If you know a farmer who uses no feed with antibiotics, you can use the manure produced. Compost it first. You may be able to raise chickens, control their food and use their manure. You can make a vermiculture situation (worms). This produces a very valuable fertilizer source. Chemical fertilizers are not an option for me. They kill the flora and fauna in the soil, which are the true feeders of plants, necessitating their constant use to provide nutrients. The best fertilizer is the soil. Feed it and it will feed the plants. Compost is a great option, especially homemade. Read the contents on bags. None I have found is perfect, but because I can't make enough for all of my clients, I use bagged compost. I use worm castings. They are as close to a perfect fertilizer as anything I know. They don't burn plants. They contain humus, microorganisms and minerals appropriate to plants. They can be mixed into potting and planting soil and/or applied to the surface of soil. They are available locally. I also use non-wood based mulch when I can (some clients have a favorite mulch). Earth worms, nature's perfect soil companions, like to live in cool, damp, dark places, like under leaves or straw. Just disturb that accumulation of winter's leaves and see the happy worms. So, at this time of year, I apply 1–2 inches of compost and a good sprinkling of worm castings. This process is more expensive than using the readily available fertilizers, but nutritious food is more expensive than fast food.

It was a long winter for us on the East End, so it seems only natural that adjusting and preparing for warmer weather would take some time.

DAN'S PAPERS April 12, 2013 Page 55 Where to save while dining out SIDE DISH Montauk Brewing Company Expands Offerings By terence lane D on't make the same mistake I made last year and miss out on the tap-fresh craft beers being poured at the Montauk Brewing Company, tucked in next to Saint Peter's Catch off Edgemere Street in Montauk. I spoke with Vaughan Cutillo, Montauk native and one of the three masterminds behind New York's most easterly beer-making enterprise. When we started our chat, I wanted to know one thing right off: "What's on tap?" Cutillo didn't hesitate, "four beers," and went on to illuminate for me the finer points of each special creation. What better place to start than with their flagship Driftwood Ale, an ESB (extra special bitter) similar to the pale ale, balanced, and even-tempered for exquisite drinkability. Driftwood Ale was the brewery's seminal beer—the one and only for some time—and looks forward to another long season on tap. A heffeweissen wheat beer called The Helmsman is a lighter, smooth beer great for those warmer temperatures that are somewhere right around the corner. Next was the East Bound Brown ale, just as clever as its name, a full-bodied brown ale all things chocolatey, cappuccino, malty and never bitter—an exceptional winter drinking ale. And then there was Ireland, or a taste thereof, with the Arrowhead Red, an Irish red beer, dark amber in color, mid-light, bitterless, and malt-centric. You'll know Montauk Brewing Company by its bold arrowhead logo found carved into their tap handles. An American Indian buff, I asked Cutillo if of fun, adventure, and exploration their logo was inspired by Montauk's of the wild world. "If you're out rich Indian heritage. "Absolutely. here [Montauk], you should be out We didn't want to be just another doing something you love," stressed lighthouse insignia, and so we Cutillo.

By silvia lehrer Today no one seems surprised to learn that whole grains are good for you. A river of scientific research shows that the more fiber-rich foods we eat, the healthier we get. New whole grain and whole wheat products are being introduced in the marketplace at a quickening pace and are taking the form of breads, pastas, rice and dried cereals. Labeling on these products is undergoing a positive change and will hopefully provide the consumer with much needed guidance. Rebecca Woods, author of The Splendid Grain (Morrow), pretty well sums it up when she writes, "A grain is more delicious when intact, rather than when polished, pearled, degermed, or refined. The germ contains the spark of life and the bran gives shape to the form and kernel. Both germ and bran are concentrated sources of nutrients. That is why whole grains make us feel good and provide us with boundless energy." Wheatberries are a healthy addition to a salad or sauté. Here the cooked grain is added to sautéed shallots and mushrooms giving the vegetables a satisfying crunch. I've been running into take-out salads with quinoa, an ancient but newly popular super grain. In the recipe below cooked quinoa is mixed with any leftover, cooked vegetables. For a cooling quinoa salad add fresh cooked soybeans and dress the entire mixture with a bit more olive oil and rice vinegar to taste! WHEATBERRIES WITH MUSHROOM SAUTÉ For basic preparation boil the wheatberries for 40 to 45 minutes until the grains are tender. They have a rich, nutty and satisfying flavor when added to a salad or sauté. Serves 4 1 cup wheatberries 2 1/2 cups water Kosher salt 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 shallots, finely chopped 1/3 to 1/2 pound shitake and button mushrooms, stemmed, rinsed and thinly sliced 1/2 cup chicken broth Freshly ground pepper to taste 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley 1. Toast the wheatberries in a skillet over mediumhigh heat. Stir occasionally, about 7 to 8 minutes, until they pop. Rinse the berries in a strainer and drain. Put the berries in a medium saucepan, add the water, and let soak for at least one hour. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Add salt, cover, adjust heat, and simmer for about one hour, or until berries are tender. Watch for water evaporation. If berries aren't tender and the water has evaporated add more water and continue to cook, checking the timing as necessary. Let rest, covered for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. 2. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet and when hot add the shallots. Sauté for a minute or so until shallots are translucent, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the broth and bring to a boil. Simmer briskly over medium-high until Wheatberries most of the liquid is evaporated, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 3. Add cooked wheatberries and parsley to the mixture and stir to mix. Serve warm or at room temperature. QUINOA PILAFF Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a super grain with a high nutrition profile. It cooks quickly, has a crunchy, nutlike flavor, and contrasts well with vegetables. Serves 3 to 4 1 cup quinoa 2 1/4 cups boiling water 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2 cloves, garlic, peeled and left whole 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Freshly ground pepper to taste Sautéed, roasted or steamed left over vegetables, about 1 to 1 1/2 cups See What'S InSIde 22711 Celebrating Our 30th Season open for dinner....Thursday thru Sunday 631.726.4444 Water Mill Square, 670 Montauk Hwy www.mirkosrestaurant.com mydanslist . com OnLIne 24396 danshamptons.com food & dining April 12, 2013 Page 57 Simple (Continued from previous page) 1. Put quinoa in a fine strainer and rinse the grains well. Gently pat dry in a clean kitchen towel. Meanwhile bring the water to a boil in a small covered saucepan. 2. Place garlic cloves in a 10-inch non-stick skillet with the oil and heat until garlic is golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove garlic and discard. Put the quinoa in the oil and spread to the edges of the pan. Toss the grains in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes.

DAN'S PAPERS danshamptons.com UNDER A MILLION Bargains in the East End. Young Renters Surging to The End By robert sforza T he Hamptons is no real-estate secret. People of all ages from all over the world come here to soak up the summer sun on our sandy beaches, falling asleep to the soft roar of the Atlantic Ocean. However, over the past few years Montauk and Amagansett have become the new summer hot spots on the South Fork. "Folks are going further east—to Amagansett, Montauk," says Ernie Cervi, Executive Managing Director of the Corcoran Group's Bridgehampton office. "There is new life to those areas, so it's attracting another group of people." It's the younger generation that's flocking to Montauk, aptly called, "The End." Montauk is renewed, rejuvenated with a fresh, hip nighttime atmosphere. These new night retreats, such as Ruschmeyer's, the Surf Lodge and the Sloppy Tuna are driving the youth all the way out to where Montauk Highway ends. "We've been getting a lot of calls for Amagansett this year," says Jeff Steinhorst, vice president of Nest Seekers International. "We have three calls for Amagansett for every one for another area." Montauk Majestic Moorlands Estate A few years ago many youths may not have even known how to pronounce Amagansett, no less spell it, but now the town is busier than ever in the summer months. Steinhorst explains the real estate logic behind this move is Amagansett's inviting appeal and its location, location, location—being near Montauk without being in Montauk, and the price can't be beat. Just like any other renting group, the younger set wants "to be close to the East Hampton beaches, dining, shopping," Steinhorst says, "but have the access to the nightlife in Montauk." East Hampton is attractive to people of all ages. Its Waterviews, Turn-Key main street is chic, its beaches world renowned and its relatively close proximity to Montauk Point is a Ready for immediate huge renting chip. Still, the price may be too steep Occupancy $529,000 for some. Amagansett is the perfect middle ground "far out east." The western hamlets and villages like Quogue, Westhampton and Westhampton Beach, despite their proximity to the ocean and Dune Road, are 1-3PM more family oriented, more designed to fit a family of four than a group of four in their twenties who want to spend a night out on the town. Real estate agents and brokers say that more and more landlords are now offering short-term leases, making it easier for this new demographic to rent. These one-month or even one-week leases became popular in the wake of the recession, among people who felt they couldn't afford the entire summer season. Though these short leases are more of a headache for landlords, requiring more cleaning and preparation between tenants, brokers and real estate agents acknowledge that short-term leases can be more lucrative for landlords. Those willing to gamble on monthly, or even weekly leases, are often able to earn more for June, July and August separately than they would for the entire summer. That's an attractive option given that prices have remained steady over last year. "Pricing is about the same. We've been telling landlords that if you rented your house for X last year then you should probably list it for X again this year," Cervi says. "If they make a mistake, there will be a bidding war." Several brokers and landlords attribute a surge of "early action" to Superstorm Sandy. The Hamptons didn't suffer as much heavy damage as other coastal vacation communities within driving distance of the city, "We're getting a lot more people because of Sandy. People from other beach communities, from Long Beach, from New Jersey," Cervi says. "These people are new to the area. They may not be renting for the whole season, but they're out to test-drive the Hamptons." Like last year, the Hamptons rental season kicked off early. Mild temperatures led to interested renters coming out on weekends and even during the week. Brokers and landlords are preparing for a very busy season on the far East End. 24967 April 13, 14, 20 & 21 OPEN HOUSE 631.723.2001 Corcoran.com danshamptons.com real estate April 12, 2013 Page 73 Everything Over a Million SALES REPORTED AS OF 4/5/2013 East HAmpton 61 Buell Lane Extension LLC to Kathy & Mark Lieb, 61 Buell Lane Extension, $3,775,000 Takuhi Ovanessian to Iris W.
