Week of May 27- June 3, 2011Riders this week: 11,821Rider miles this week: 106,847DOWN IN THE TUBE Writer Jay McInerney was seen on the same

subway train between Bridgehampton and SagHarbor as Jon Stewart and Tina Fey, but each ofthem was on the train at a different time,McInerney in the morning, Stewart in the after-noon and Fey around 7 p.m. Why were they goingaround separately like this?

GOING GREENAs I am sure you are aware, the subway sys-

tem is now festooned with big green signs withwhite letters that read HAMPTON SUBWAYGOES GREEN in honor of the campaign to teachpeople how important it is to save the environ-ment. In the coming weeks, however, these signsare coming down as we have learned that thepaint company we hired to make these signs hasbeen charged by a government agency with usingcheap, outlawed lead-based paint on all the signs

they produce. Since in response, the company,called Bubbling Brook Signs, has gone out ofbusiness, it remains to be seen how soon we willbe able to get them redone and back up.

MEMORIAL DAYHampton Subway is fully prepared for the

crowds of Memorial Day. All 30 of our pushersare going through physical training programs tobe strong enough to herd people from the plat-forms into the subway cars beginning on Friday.And to our fleet of 36 subway cars, we are addingan additional six, lent to us by the West PalmBeach Subway System. Do not be confused if thesubway you board says West Palm Beach on it.Its really just for the weekend.

RIVAL SUBWAY SYSTEM IDEA DEFEATEDThe Hamptons Town Council has rejected an

application for a SECOND subway system forthe Hamptons to be called the EE Subway(stands for East Endget it?). The plan, puttogether by Russian Oligarth Jawara Badanov,who recently bought a house on Meadow Lane inSouthampton, was turned down by a vote of 4-3.Reportedly, his house, which he paid $44 millionfor, is now back on the market at $27 million,first come first served.

NEW SUBWAY TO THE BEACHThe editors of this newsletter were as shocked

as anybody to learn on Tuesday that two newspurs have secretly been added to the line, onefrom Main Street Southampton to CoopersBeach and the other from Main Street EastHampton to Main Beach. The Southampton Spuropened for business with a ribbon cutting on theplatform at Main Beach last Saturday, reported-ly with Israeli President Benjamin Netenyahuand Chinas Prime Minister Wen Hu holding upthe two ends. We have no idea who will beattending and holding the ribbon up in EastHampton, although it is rumored it might beLady Gaga.

BUMP REPAIREDRiders have long hung onto their seats in

recent years as the subway passes this spotabout midway between Quogue and Quiogue,where there is a kind of speedbump. All subwayconductors are required to call out here comesthe speedbump, just before that spot is reached,and as a result of that order, there have been noincidents or injuries when the subway passesover.

Experts hired by Hampton Subway say thisspeedbump, a lurch upwards of about eight inch-es for a four-foot stretch, say that it was causedby a very tiny earthquake, the tiniest earth-quake ever to hit the United States at 0.04,which was measured here in 1974.

Well now, our workmen have repaired thisbump, using a bulldozer rigged up with subwaywheels, which was towed out to that part of thetunnel last Wednesday night and during the fourhours the subway is closed for maintenance, didthe work. Now everything is smooth as a goose.

After the work was done, many of the subwayconductors say they shouted out here comes thespeedbump just out of habit, and the peoplehung on though there was no speedbump, and ittook them most of the day to remember eachtime not to say that.

FUNDRAISER FOR THE SUBWAYBeginning this weekend, Hampton Subway

volunteers are going to be sitting in chairsbehind folding tables on the platforms, asking

I heard a joke that I really like about twoweeks ago and I cant help from retelling itover and over again. This happens to all of usevery once in a while, and we cant help butrepeat the joke over and over.

Relax, its a clean joke. Just read it, you willlaugh.

A bird was flying south for the winter, and itwas freezing cold outside. He was pushingalong real hard and was flying by himselfbecause he had fallen behind from the rest ofthe flock. It wasnt long before he got so cold,that his right wing froze and it sent him soar-ing to the ground with a hard thud, breakinghis wing.

Now a bird without a wing is in really badshape, especially in the wintertime, and thisbird knew that things could not get any worse.He sort of knew that his life was over anddecided that he was going to accept his fateand die with dignity.

As he was saying his final prayers, a cowwalked over to the bird on the ground and sawthe bird there, still breathing, but with a bro-

ken wing. The cow thought it wouldbe funny if he would poop on thebird and walk away, sort of as a sickjoke. This particular cow was a com-plete jerk.

So the bird opened his eyes as heprepared for a dignified death, onlyto discover that he had been com-pletely covered with poop. This isno way to die, he said to himself, and he beganto cry he was so humiliated.

But as he lay there, covered in cow poop,waiting for death, he noticed that he was feel-ing more and more comfortable over time. Thepoop was insulating him from the cold and wasactually keeping him warm. The bird wasslightly confused, but as time went on, henoticed that the smell was no longer botheringhim and then realized that there was absolute-ly no way he was going to freeze to deaththanks to it.

The entire winter went by, and the birdstayed very still on his back, making sure thathe was using as little energy as possible sothat he wouldnt starve to death, and before heknew it, the cold was gone, his wing was healedand all that he really needed to worry aboutwas how deep in crap he was.

This made the bird so happy, that he startedto sing. It was one of the most beautiful songsthat he ever sang, and he sang it louder andlouder. There was one beautiful harmony afteranother, the bird was so happy to be alive, hesimply couldnt stop from screaming out hisbest bird singing.

His singing however, drew the attention of a

cat.The cat walked over to the pile of

crap, where he heard birdsong com-ing from. The cat then investigatedthe crap, brushing it away, and dis-covered a healthy, happy bird justlying there.

And pretty much instantly, andwithout any warning to the bird, the

cat pinned the bird to the ground with itsclaws and ate him.

The cat then walked away, going about hisbusiness, never really knowing or caring aboutthe entire ordeal that the bird had gonethrough over the last couple of months.

And the moral of the story is:Not everybody that craps on you is your

enemy.Not everybody that gets you out of crap is

your friend.And if you are in really deep crap, you should

keep your mouth shut.

Where Heroes Come FromI dont know where heroes go.But I do know where they come from.They come from the Southwest with tolerance

from working in hot desert suns.They come from the Northwest with strong

arms from working in the forests.They come from the Great Plains where they

inhale freedom with every breath.They come from Mid-western farms with

strong backs and clear minds.They come from Texas with attitude.They come from the sweltering South with

stubborn determination.They come from the mid-Atlantic seaboard

with senses sharpened by the sea.They come from New England with patriotism

and ingenuity.And sometimes they even come from small

islands, not even recorded on most maps. Theycome with common sense, straightforwardmorality and an understanding of communitylove and loyalty, so much so, that, like our Joe,theyd forfeit their lives for the greater good.

No, I dont know where heroes go.But I do know where they come from.


THE SHELTEREDISLANDER

by Sally Flynn

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAYDuring this past week of driving rain, many

people headed down to the subway platforms todry out. We did a brisk umbrella-selling businessdown there. The deal was you could get a subwaycard and swipe your way to stand on the plat-form, or you could buy an umbrella, which werebeing sold by our token booth people, but youcouldnt be allowed back up onto the streetunless you did one or the other. Our subway secu-rity guards did a simply wonderful job attendingto this. The umbrellas say I LOVE HAMPTONSUBWAY.

NEW SUBWAY TREADS FOR THE STAIRSThe new slip-proof, rubberized tread covers for

the stairs going up and down to all the subwayplatforms have arrived at our Hampton Baysheadquarters and will be installed in the weekafter Memorial Day. They will make things a loteasier for people, especially those who are dis-abled and cannot climb stairs.

COMMISSIONER ASPINALLS MESSAGEI have personally invited President Barack

Obama to attend and perhaps hold one of theends of the ribbon at the inaugural ribbon-cut-ting on the Southampton Subway platform thisSaturday at noon. (Lady Gaga might hold theother end.) It would be a great honor if he wereto show up, as it would showcase small subwaysystems all around the United States, if there areothers in addition to ours. Aides to the Presidentsay he is seriously considering our request andmay cut his European tour short, but a lot woulddepend upon the schedule of the Pope, because hecannot miss that meeting.

Twice a SpyIt seems inevitable that after 9/11, spy nov-

els, trying to keep up with truths stranger thanfiction, such as shoe bomber plots, would growevermore complicated and technological. So it

was just a matter of time, perhaps, before theline was crossed between real-world terrorismand intelligence intrigue, and surreal, over-the-top takes on these. Count New York Timesbestselling author Keith Thomson among themasters of this serio-satiric genre. Last yearsOnce a Spy is being made into a movie by SonyPictures, and Twice a Spy, just out(Doubleday), continues the fun and gamesbetween the ever-shifting good and bad guys,with some laugh-out-loud moments and zany,absurdist romps.

What we didnt know about rumint (rumorintelligence) or ADMs (atomic demolitionmunitions) that can be disguised as washingmachines or videos hidden in staplers, or SDRs(surveillance detection routes), or microscopictransponders fired into coats! Cutouts

abound (pawns set up by intelligence groups),and aliases and code references pile up withsuch speed that even the main characters for-get whos who and whats what. When thedirector of the CIA is asked what NESTmeans, as in NEST teams being deployed inwaters between Saint Lucia and the coast ofIndia, he replies, Oh . . .uh, NuclearEmergency Search . . . something.

At least one of the principals has reason toforget: hes Drummond Clark, held over fromOnce a Spy, a retired CIA top op now deepinto Alzheimers, though in lucid moments hecan fly complex planes, fling small objects atenemies with deadly accuracy and exercisesubtle martial arts maneuvers. Drummond,in Switzerland for experimental treatmentsfor Alzheimers, is on the lam from the CIA,along with his son, mathematical whiz andracetrack addict Charlie Clark. Though notuntil two weeks ago was Charlie aware thathis father was anything but a washingmachine salesman (Who knew?). They havebeen set up by the CIA whose agents are outto get them at the same time that terroristsare out to buy the ADM. Charlie wants toclear their names but is wary of involving hisfather. Drummond insists, however, because,well, because of Charlies son. I dont have ason, Charlie says, to which Dad replies, Youought to.

Thomson knows how to deliver a fast-paced,dizzying yarn that playfully invites the read-er to recognize the game. When Charlies love,NSA agent Alice Rutherford, suggests thatthey head back to Geneva, Charlie knowsshe really means, leave for Gstaad. It goeslike that. Often with an admixture of little-known lore. Did you know that there are 244McDonalds in India? Or that Dijon is not onlythe mustard center of Europe but home tothe most dazzling collection of medieval andRenaissance buildings in the world?

Although he now lives in Alabama, with hiswife and two small children, Thomson, whoused to summer regularly in Bridgehamptonand has family on the East End, participatedin Bookhamptons May 15-17 MysteryWeekend. Hes a former editorial cartoonistfor Newsday and often writes about natsec(national security) and intelligence mattersfor The Huffington Post. His bio also notesthat he is a former semipro baseball player inFrance, a filmmaker (Sundance) and ascreenwriter. The most often-asked questionof him at readings, he says, is whether hesever been in the CIA, and when he says no,the rejoinder is that only a tried-and-truespook would say that. But now, in a generousmoment, hes going to tell the whole, unex-purgated story as long as its keptbetween him and the readers of DansPapers. Yes, he was indeed in the CIA: onthe night of December 13, 2008. For a confer-ence. And to share a drink with then agencyhead Michael Hayden. Actually, we each hadour own drink.

Note: Its not necessary to have read thefirst book to enjoy the sequel. Its obvious,Thomsons on a roll. Look for the sequel tothe sequel!

where that led to the overthrow of the govern-ments in Egypt and Tunisia in recent months.These were big deals. What was happening inMontauk was not a big deal. It was a VERY bigdeal.

Also during that Wednesday afternoon, callscame raining into town hall from Montaukers,and also from reporters looking for comments.

It wasnt the Town Boards fault that DitchWitch lost, siad one member of the Board. Itwas the Ditch Witchs fault. They did not make agood enough proposal to win.

Postings to the two sites now were coming infrom all over.

Sam Pae of Hawaii posted this:I have just found out of this situation in

Montauk. It is a sad moment for me and my heartgoes out to Lili and the beach-going community ofDitch Plains. As a newcomer from Hawaii, theDitch Witch welcomed me in, watching my per-sonal belongings and keeping them safe while Iwas there last summerLili made me feel athome and part of the Ditch Witch Ohana, whichin Hawaii we call FamilyMy heart will be for-ever grateful for what Lili has done for me andsharing her Aloha.

Laura Michaels posted this:Dear East Hampton Town Board. While the

formal awarding of the beach concessions havenot been made, it appears that there is great con-cern amongst the Montauk and East Hamptoncommunity that the Ditch Witch, which has been

a fixture of Ditch Plains, may not be awarded theright to continue to serve the community as shehas for so many years. Quite simply, Ditch willnot be the same without the Ditch Witch.

John Behan, one of the most respected men inMontauk and a former state assemblyman, hadthis to say.

The town board is for the dogsthe DitchWitch will live forever!!!

In another five hours, waves of people wrote tothe site, heaping insult upon insult onto theheads of the East Hampton Town Board. ByWednesday night, the total number of postingsexceeded 1,000.

The Town Board, very shaken, assembled onThursday afternoon for a special, hastily-calledmeeting. Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson set thetone of what was to follow. He held up the sheafof paper showing the winning bidders.

Because of the number of inquiries we are get-ting, we are stepping in to review the originalproposals. For instance, the first thing that jumpsoff the page at us is this Turf Lobster Rolls ven-dor that wins at Ditch Plains. They have a verylimited menu. It starts at $17 for a lobster roll.

Councilman Dominick Stanzione said henoticed some minor tabulation errors in the pointscoring when it came down to between DitchWitch and Turf Lobster Rolls.

Town Councilwoman Theresa Quigley said,Ive reviewed the proposals submitted and real-ize that the bidders hadnt been given a detailedbreakdown of the points to be assigned in eachsubcategory. I think that renders the bids

Its good that youre sitting for this.It is shocking but trueno glossy nationalmagazine has ever asked the HamptonsEpicure for her list of top 10 favorite things.

In an effort to quell the ever-growingbreathless anticipation, here they are:

1. Local Farmers Markets. All local farm-ers markets are fabu because they offer thefreshest, most local, in-season fruits and veg-etables there are. It makes environmental,as well as nutritional sense, to shop at yourlocal farmers market. I go to three. SagHarbors I can walk to and do so religiously.Hayground is on Fridays, so I pick up abunch of stuff for summer weekends there.The Springs Farmers Market is the neweston the South Fork, so Im fascinated with itand have to check it out. It started last yearon Tuesdays in Ashawagh Hall. Its about tore-open on Saturdays. See Dans Day-By-Daycalendar on page 155 for days and times.

2. Blossom Meadows Candles. These NorthFork-made candles burn longer, brighter andcleaner than any others Ive tried. Ive tried

them all; I have something of a candle fixa-tion (see also items number 3 and 4). Plus,these candles exude a light wild floweryscent when burned. Conveniently, I can pickthem up from Respectable Collectables, myfave gifty shop on Henry Road inSouthampton. Blossommeadow.com.

3. Those Little Sticky Things That KeepTaper Candles In Place. I had to look at thepackage to see what theyre called,Candlesfasts by the A. I. Root Company. Ibuy them from Loaves and Fishes Cookshopin Bridgehampton. This brand melts awaywith the candle so theres no need to cleanout residue. Whenever I pop into Loaves andFishes, I also grab some French magazinesand take a few minutes to ogle the latest LeCreuset pieces. landfcookshop.com.

4. Thrift. Thursday at St. Anns Thrift Shopin Bridgehampton. Saturdays at DominicanSisters Thrift Shop in Sag Harbor. TheJunque Shop, L.V.I.S. and Trader Bills oncea month. This is the routine that works forme. St. Anns offers designer whatnots and,sometimes, credenzas. Dominican Sisterscould have anything. Last week I bought anantique Italian lamp for $10, the week beforeit was a 25-cent skein of variegated yarn.L.V.I.S. is good for cookware and servingware. Theres only one Trader BillsinGreenport..it rocks. Of course I buy all theold pillar candles and tealights I see.

5. Halseys Apples and Cider. Im fromupstate, I know from apples and cider. Ivepicked and pressed my own and I come froma long line of apple pie bakers. When Mr.Halsey advised me to try using Pink Lady

apples in my pies I was skeptical, but I gaveit a whirl. He gilded my lily! You can buy allthe Halseys farm products at The Milk PailCountry Store on Montauk Highway andfrom The Milk Pail Farm Store on Horse MillLane, both in Water Mill.

6. The Seafood Shop. Everyone who livesout here has a seafood shop that they swearby. The Seafood Shop on Montauk Highwayin Wainscott is mine. The best is when theybring their fresh fish to the Sag HarborFarmers Market.

7. Southampton Trails PreservationSociety Hikes and Walking Tours. And to beeven further insidevolunteer Tony Garrois my fave hike and tour leader. This manreally does his research!Southamptontrails.org.

8. Easthampton Bowl. For the bowling, notthe food. In the off-season, at certain times,you can get a lane with no neighbors andreally let her rip.

9. Silvia Lehrers newest cookbook,Savoring the Hamptons, Discovering theFood and Wine of Long Islands East End.Published by Running Press, with a forwardby East End foodie Alan Alda. Yum!

10. Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre. Goatwas a necessity when my son was little. NowI go by myself. With live national and inter-national touring acts, The Goat offers thebest entertainment bargain around.Goatonaboat.org.

Note to national glossy magazine editors: Icould easily throw in some designery faves. Iam a huge John Derian fan and Ive beenknown to channel Coco Chanel. Call me?

HAMPTONS EPICUREStacy Dermont


By David Lion Rattiner You probably know Darrell Hammond

and you probably have a favoriteSaturday Night Live skit that he per-formed during his tenure of 14 years onthe show, the longest of any SNL comedi-an. He is simply laugh-out-loudfunnywhether he is doing his bestimpersonation of Bill Clinton or GeorgeBush, or asking Will Ferrell to take TheRapists for $700 on Celebrity Jeopardy(thats therapists), while impersonatingSean Connery.

The guy is just awesome.With Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor

celebrating its 20th season, Hammondwill be playing the role of Truman Capotein the play TRU, which will run at thetheater from May 31 to June 26. Ofcourse, a lot of people are going to see thisshow to see Darrell Hammond play therole, and you can get tickets to it inadvance should you be so interested.

Hammond, having made his enormouscareer out of comedy, didnt start out as acomedian. He was more of a sports guy.

I grew up in Melbourne, Florida. I wasreally into baseball when I was a kid. Iplayed outfield, I pitched and I played in theBabe Ruth League. Then, I was known for beingan athlete.

It wasnt until college that Hammond learnedthat he had a talent for acting. I went to theUniversity of Florida, and Brevard CommunityCollege, and got a degree in advertising and aminor in theatre. When I was in college I did aplay called, When Are You Comin Back RedRider? I sort of just gave it a shot. I had beenplaying baseball for a lot of years and I dontknow, I just saw a brochure forsome theatre classes and needed tofulfill a minor in college, so I decid-ed to give it a try. I got some reallypositive feedback from it and Idecided to see what I could do withit.

It was at that point thatHammond decided he was going tomake the leap and attempt whatmany fail at, becoming an actor inNew York.

I moved to New York at 21 anddid five plays, but I got tired of thelifestyle and moved back to Florida when NewYork City beat me down in the beginning. I didthe classic schedule of waiting tables and livingthe poor actors life. Id get a job in a play andthen would have to quit my job waiting tables. Itwas really tough. The beginning of an actorscareer is always really tough. I moved back toFlorida and it sort of felt like it was the end ofmy dream. I even moved back in with my par-ents.

But what Hammond thought was the end wasreally just the beginning for him. His move backto Florida lead him towards a career in radio,which led to some name recognition. While backat home I got a job in radio doing voice-overwork and things like that. Eventually I was able

to get hired with a big radio station in Orlandocalled BJ105, which was a pop station. Fromthere, my name started getting really out there.I started doing stand-up and radio and got myconfidence back up and moved back to NewYork. When I moved back, I felt like I could real-ly make something happen there.

With newfound confidence and back in the bigcity, opportunities presented themselves andHammond started getting noticed. I knew thatat the time there was a lot of work in the tri-state area. So I figured that Id be able to get intoone of the comedy clubs there. The first one I gotinto was the Comedy Cellar, where just abouteverybody youve ever heard of has worked in orstarted at. I got enough attention there that

Carolines started using me as a stand-upand that is when SNL spotted methatwas my big break. That was THE break.

With the power of Saturday Night Liveand the strength of his personality on cam-era, Hammond was able to rocket to thetop echelon of comedy, a place where veryfew men have stood. Interestingly, whatmade Hammond hilarious on SNL wasntreally part of his act before he got there.Hammond, who is known for his spot-onimpressions, was never really that guyuntil SNL. I wasnt really doing impres-sions anymore by the time SNL found me,but when I went to work for SNL, thatbecame a big part of my life. I enjoyed mytime at SNL very much. At the end ofevery show, if I thought I did well I feltgreat99% of working for SaturdayNight Live is amazing. The hardest partof it would be on Saturday, where the pres-sure would be really high to perform andthat was when I really felt like it waswork. The most amazing part of SNL wasgetting to meet a few of the presidents. Igot to shake hands with Bill Clinton andGeorge Bush Senior as well as GeorgeBush Junior, both of whom were very nice

guys. Working for SNL feels really special. Itshard to get on it, its hard to leave it and its real-ly magic.

Hammond also loves the East End, especiallySag Harbor, where he enjoys performing at BayStreet. Years ago I did a couple of plays at BayStreet Theatre and I really enjoyed it. Myfavorite part of the East End is that little hubarea down by the Bay Street Theatre where youcan walk along the water or grab an ice cream ora pizza at those little shops. I stayed at the

American Hotel recently and I loveit thereI like where the gym is bythe Bay Street Theatre, and theCorner BarI love the Corner Bar!And B. Smiths! Its no secret, every-body loves it here, its a great place,you cant beat it. I usually rent ahouse when Im out here, but itspretty much included with what Ido for Bay Street. Ive stayed atsome really amazing houses, reallynice farmhouses, really nice.

The only thing that Hammonddoesnt like to do is swim in the

ocean. Visit the ocean yes, swim in it, no. I godown to the beaches on the East End and theyare beautiful, but I never jump in the water, Imnot much of a swimmer. When I was 19 inFlorida, I saw two hammerheads up close andthat was it for me. Im not able to describe thelevel of fear that I experienced with that.

Check out Darrell Hammond as TrumanCapote at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor thissummer. You arent going to want to miss thechance to see this guy on stage.

TRU, written by Jay Presson Allen and direct-ed by Judith Ivey. Bay Street Theatre, 1 Bay St.,Sag Harbor. May 31 through June 26, 8 p.m. BoxOffice: 631-725-9500, [email protected].

DarrellHammond,

Actor

My favorite part of the East End is thatlittle hub area down by the Bay StreetTheatre where you can walk along the

water or grab and ice cream.

Bill & Ed and the Men of the Greatest Generation

By Sharon McKeeBill Gallo died on May 10. The legendary New

York Daily News sports cartoonist and columnistwas 88 years old and had worked at the paper fornearly 70 years. Gallo started as a copy boy atage 18, left briefly to fight in World War II, andreturned to the Daily News where he worked upuntil his death. He was described as a lovinghusband, father, grandfather, great-grandfatherand a proud member of the U.S. Marine Corps,4th Marine Division.

Bill Gallo is mourned by millions of New Yorksports fansindeed anyone who followed NewYork sports teams naturally followed Bill Gallo. Iremember my father Ed, in the 50s and 60s,commuting on the LIRR from our home inWantagh to his job at Texaco in the city, readingthe Daily News, back to front, for the sports. Inthe 70s and early 80s, I followed sports myself. Iworked for a decade at Sports Illustrated, adream job that allowed me, among other things,to collect autographed covers or photos, which Iwould proudly share with my father and myyounger brother Mitch: Muhammad Ali, Pel,Thurman Munson, Catfish Hunter, ReggieJackson, Jimmy Connors and Mitchs all-timefavorites, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issuecovergirls Christie Brinkley and Cheryl Tiegs.

But the autograph our family prized above allothers belonged to sports cartoonist extraordi-naire Bill Gallo. I met him on February 25, 1985,on a bitter cold Monday in Manhattan. Earlythat morning my dad called me at my office ask-ing, Do you have the Sunday News? I didnt.But I ran to the newsstand on the corner andthey still had a copy. It seemed that Bill Gallohad written a story on the 40th anniversary ofthe Battle of Iwo Jima, and in that story he rana photo from his personal collection of his 4thMarine Division buddies on a troopship boundfor Iwo in 1945. And there was my dad, at age 19,in the upper left-hand corner of the photo. Gallowas kneeling, far right, in the front row.

I wasted no time. I ran across town to the DailyNews building on 42nd Street between Secondand Third and announced myself to the recep-

tionist. I told her of my mission and Bill Gallosaid, send her right up. And there, in his office,I pointed to Ed in the photo asking if the cartoon-ist remembered him and would he autograph thepage with a message to my dad. He was very gra-cious about it, and chatted with me for a longwhile. I told him my dad hardly ever talkedabout the war and that I had learned more fromthis article than I had previously known abouthis service. Like the fact that they spent 45 dayson Iwo Jima, fighting to win it back inch byinch.

That night I met my dad for a drink and pre-sented him the signed newspaper, but not beforeI photocopied it five times for other members of

the family who like me would treasure the tro-phy. My dad was thrilled. Up until then he hadno idea the famous Bill Gallo was in his division,just as Bill Gallo had not actually rememberedEd. But that wasnt the point. They had sharedthe experience that no one who had beenthrough that war could forget. (My dad in factremembered things differently; the troopshipwasnt Iwo-bound, it was returning home. Thatwould account for the relaxed and smilingdemeanor of the young men in the photo.)

Years passed and the photocopies were framed

and hung with pride of place in various rooms

to silently extend itself out from the sand duneand into the sky. It moved out slowly. It waslike an erection. There were some squeaks andgroans, the whooga-whooga sound of keepclear horns, the clanging of warning bells andthe flashing of red lights, then a second snap-ping of something into place. Then this tinnywomans voice overhead said please hold on tothe straps. Finally, a platform miraculouslyappeared alongside the subway cars in the skyand the doors opened toCoopers Beach!! Youjust have to climb down this metal stairway.But first, of course, you have to stand up thereoutside the subway high up and look!!

And what an experience THAT was. I havenever seen the ocean from this perspective,

suspended in the air 20 feet up with a bunch ofcelebrities and dignitaries. The seagulls andterns swoop around. The chefs and bartendersbelow in their white uniforms waiting for uslook up from their tents. And there we are!!

We can smell the good things to eat below,mixing with the salty smell of the sea and itsdecaying sea life. What a treat!

During the next hour and a half, we enjoyedourselves down there on the beach listening tothe Jim Turner Band and Vivian and theMerry Makers while the shuttlenow seenfrom below doing its thing sticking out andretracting over and overbrought down fivetrainloads of people including the entire thirdgrade of PS 842 in Bushwick, Brooklyn, mem-

bers of a surfing class in Hampton Bays, agroup of tourists from Chinatown and a gaggleof hang gliders from Bay Shoreand with that,our stomachs filled with treats from nine localrestaurants and our senses dazzled, weclimbed back up to the next shuttletheretractable rocket it has already beendubbed and made our way home back totown.

I should mention before I forget this inter-view I had with a guard who stands the wholetime at the bottom of the metal ladder leadingup to where the train sticks out of the dune. Hewas dressed in bathing garb from the 1930s,black undershirt, black shorts etc., and he wasthere, he said, to make sure nobody climbed upthe dune and into the cave between the timesthe trains come and go. He carried a rowboatoar as a weapon.

You have to stand here all day?Yes. Theres no door at the opening. Cant

have a door up there, they say. So I have towatch. Somebody could get killed if they climbup there at the wrong time.

Do you have to wear this uniform all thetime? Or is this just for the grand opening?

Its for all the time.Next Saturday, there will be the grand open-

ing of the East Hampton Main Beach shuttlespur, presided over once again by SubwayCommissioner Bill Aspinall, this time joined byChevy Chase, Mort Zuckerman, actress LoriSinger, East Hampton Town Mayor PaulRickenbach, Steven Spielberg, Rick Moranis,Barry Sonnenfeld, Paul Simon, East HamptonTown Supervisor Bill Wilkinson and EastHampton Environmental Chief Larry Penny.

One failure should be mentioned. It had orig-inally been planned for their to be a thirdbeach subway shuttle, going fromWesthampton Beach Main Street toComsequogue County Beach on Dune Road,but something went wrong in the tunnelhalfway there and it had to be abandoned. Hadit succeeded, there would have been a third rib-bon cutting, one week after this next one inEast Hampton. But it didnt.

Well, two out of three aint bad!!See you in East Hampton Saturday at 9:30

a.m.at the subway entrance at the crossroadsin the center of town, Main Street andNewtown Lane for the shuttle launch there.

invalid.John Jilnicki, who is the town attorney, said,

Its really not fair to any of the bidders.Quigley returned to the lectern. The words

understanding of customer base and communitywere underlined, which might unfairly suggestto a bidder that they should give this extraweight.

Others grumbled on and on for a bit. Finally itwas decided that this thing needed fine-tuningand it should be sent back for discussion forimplementation. But in the meantime, withMemorial Day just eight days away, maybe theyought to just go back to where things were lastyear and use those old rules for this summer.

A vote was taken. It was unanimous.

The thundering heaps of messages now contin-ued to come into Facebook. But now it was cele-bratory.

I havenever wanted to get back in that Cart more thantoday. Overwhelmed by your love. Love, LiliAdams, the Ditch Witch.

Ah, but all may not be over. Some vendortrucks are left overnight sometimes so the own-ers can see to it they have their spot day afterday. Turns out there is a law that prohibits this.Its been on the books in East Hampton. But thepolice have turned a blind eye to it. Until now,they say.

Right.


Ditch (continued from page64)

throughout the family: my parents den, mybrothers office in Houston (he was now a seniorattorney with Texaco), my sisters house inMassapequa, my apartment in New York andlater our home in Naples.

And then in 2006, an amazing thing hap-pened. The Daily News ran the photo againshortly after the 60th anniversary of Iwo Jima!Gallo was still at his desk, but my dad was nowgone. He died of emphysemalike Gallowouldin 1991. Ed was a smoker even beforethe Marines sent cartons of Camels to our troopsduring wartime. Indeed my first memory of himis with a pack of Camels rolled up in his whiteshirtsleeve, so handsome, so young.

Anyway, my nephew Paul Dulanto was com-muting to his job and reading the Daily Newsback to front for the sportsjust like his grand-father (to whom he bears a striking resem-blance). And there was the photo of my dad,Pauls grandfather, staring out at him, the sameone that had been hanging in his family densince he could remember. My sister called me inFlorida to tell me about it. Eds photo with BillGallo lives on!

I hope the Daily News runs this photo everyyear on the anniversary of the Battle of IwoJima, or at least every 10 years or so, in fittingmemory of Bill Gallo and other veterans like mydad. There arent too many of them around any-more, these guys of The Greatest Generation.But its important to my familys story and Iwould guess its central to the Gallo family storytoo.

In fact, I would wager that they played theMarine Corps Hymn at Bill Gallos funeral justas they did at my fathers. Once a Marine, alwaysa Marine.

Semper Fi, Mr. Gallo. Miss you daddy.

K?

Can some collector cars be considered art?Well, convincing many of you would probably beas tough as convincing me, a guy who was raisedlistening to music written by George and IraGershwin, Rogers and Hammerstein andLeonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, thatrap is music. But Ill try. After all, fine music andfine cars have a lot in common.

Recently, a 31 Bugatti Royale was sold for$17.6 million. A 29 Mercedes Benz SSK changedhands for $7.9 million. An Italian red 1962Ferrari 330LM racecar went for $7.2 million anda 30 Bentley Speed six captured $5.4 million atauction. A 35 Duesenberg SJ Roadster brought$4.7 million. Whew! Just two weeks ago, an AndyWarhol painting sold for $27 million. True, thetiming was right for the Warhol, but no way isthat piece of art any more attractive or impres-sive than say, that 62 Ferrari 330 LM. Let mealso say that the Ferrari would also look damngood in your living room, providing you had theright space!

On a more serious note, let me bring up thepoint that when certain cars are worth so muchmoney, they become more than just automobiles.Some of the logic is that they have becomeobjects of art as well as objects of lust, at least tothe automobile connoisseur. That vastly expen-sive 31 Bugatti Royale sedan mentioned above iscertainly not as beautiful as say that Ferrari orDuesenberg, but its sheer presence (its one of thebiggest cars ever made) and its rarity, plus thefact that it was designed by an automotivegenius, made it beautiful to enough collectors tobid it up at auction to be one of the most expen-sive cars in the world. Provenance is indeed veryimportant when considering a cars value.

To further prove that cars are objects of artmany museums around the world have severalin their permanent collections. MOMA and theGuggenheim here in New York have several. Butjust look around you. Look in the car magazines.There is really some beautiful stuff out there, notonly from the past, but present-day vehicles.Also, a car does not have to be worth mega-dol-lars to be a work of art. Take, for instance, a 1957Chevrolet convertible. Or for that matter a 1955-57 Chevrolet Nomad station wagon. Park thatold Nomad alongside the new Cadillac CTS sportwagon and seriously tell me that someday thesetwo wagons will not appear in some museum.They are both art, past and present. A toast to allyou readers who stand in your garage and stareat the lines of your car, new or old, you knowwhat Im talking about.

Speaking of art and cars, did you know thataround 1978, BMW of Germany sanctioned sev-eral famous pop artists to actually paint full-sizepictures on several of their new M1 super cars?Andy Warhol and Frank Stella were just two ofthe artists. The cars were to be raced in a pre-

European formula one series call the Pro-Carseries. Interestingly enough, about 15 years ago,the colorful Richard Rubio from WesthamptonCoachworks had a BMW M1 art car for sale andasked me if I knew anyone who wanted one. Icalled a friend in Germany who was connected tothe German BMW club. Surprisingly, no one wasinterested. The value of the car then was about$100,000. I mention this because this August 18to 19, the Guggenheim museum will haveBonhams auction off its BMW M1 art car, whichwas in the museums permanent collection.Fifteen years ago I advised my friends inGermany to buy the car, remove the lightweightfiberglass body with the expensive art and hangit on their wall. Then just have a new body builtand drive the car. The M1 is a wildly fastmachine.

Good bidding, and have a great weekend.Remember that at the beginning of this article Isaid that music and cars have a lot in common?Have you ever heard a Ferrari V-12 engine athigh revs? Music to our ears.

WHOOPI TIME!Do you have a nickname for your iPhone?

Cant live without your Crack Berry? Do you fallasleep holding your computer instead of a signif-icant other? These are just a few signs that youmay suffer from Internet Addiction Disorder.

Academy Award-winning actress and comedian,Whoopi Goldberg, may have the answer to helpcut down this destructive behavior. Goldbergrecently revealed to her co-hosts, Behar,Hasselbeck and Shepherd, on ABCs TheView, I dont answer my cellphone. I dontanswer the computer. At 6 p.m. everything goesoff, except for me.

I suspect, to some of you, the thought of turningoff the phone or the computer at a specific timesounds preposterous, utterly impossible. Thethought could even set off a panic attack. Yet,powering off is a very simple solution to help endIAD, and this H=holiday weekend, the Hamptonswill offer several darn good reasons to shut downthe technology and make some good ol fashionedWhoopi Time.

Saturday evening, 8 p.m., you can experience

Tony Award-winning actress ChristineEbersole and Edward Hibbert perform Love,Nol: The Letters and Songs of Nol Coward liveat the Bay Street Theatre. Sunday at 6:30p.m.you can, yet again, make a conscious effort topower down and attend the annual PlannedParenthood Hudson Peconic East End bene-fit at the Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club.Join the Bravo networks head honcho and patri-arch of the Housewives franchise, AndyCohen, who is set to attend and will most likelybe surrounded by a famous starlet or a bevy oflocal housewives to stir up some drama. So,ladies, if you dont want to miss out on the fun,dont be tardy for the party. I couldnt resist.

Good to know not all compulsive habits are badfor you. Just ask the thousands of healthcon-scious Hamptonites who are addicted toSpinning. A fitness phenomenon that started offwith a small and sweaty cult-like following con-tinues to expand in the Hamptons this season. Ifyou are looking for treadmills, cross trainers orweight resistance machines you wont find themhere. Spin-centric studios are all about findingthe burn on a bike. You can expect to see rows ofstationary cycles lined up inches apart. But, dontlet the immobile factor fool you. Spinning is a fullbody workout. Generally speaking, spin cycleroutines will have you doing a combination ofmoves, which may include pushups, free weightsand even lunges, while cycling. One of the firstspin studios in the Hamptons was Zone Hamptonwhich in 2009 transformed into Fly WheelSports with seven locations including SagHarbor and East Hampton. Fly Wheel says theyhave, literally reinvented the wheel. For those ofyou who enjoy some healthy competition, FlyWheel developed the TorqBoardan in-studiodisplay that provides riders with the option tocompare their performance to the rest of the classin real time. In Amagansett you have B-EastFitness Studio. In Southampton, HardCoreCycling on Route 27 will be offering complimen-tary spin classes this Holiday weekend.

SoulCycle co-founders Elizabeth Cutler andJulie Rice set up a seasonal spin studio inBridgehampton five years ago. They bothbelieved indoor cycling could be mentally inspir-ing and offer a full-body workout. Their spin phi-losophy was an instant hit and over the years hasattracted a dedicated celebrity following.

Ten Minute GolfBy Darren DeMaille

Remembering SeveEvery year on the last Monday in May, the

United States commemorates soldiers whohave fallen in military service. This ritual ofremembrance brings families together toembrace the freedom we have and meditate onthe price it comes with. Golf has its own trib-ute to people that have had an impact on thegame and made it as popular throughout theworld as it is today.

The Memorial Tournament is Jack Nicklausvision that celebrates his passion for tourna-ment golf and an opportunity to give back to ahometown community that has given him so

much. Every year the tournament is themedaround a person, living or dead, who has con-tributed to the game of golf. This was Nicklausidea as a way to perpetuate the achievementsof the games greatest individuals. In 2010, theperson honored was Spains Seve Ballesteros.It was almost a year later, at age 54, thatBallesteros would pass away from complica-tions of brain cancer.

Ballesteros was an iconic figure in Europeangolf, doing what Nicklaus and Arnold Palmerdid for the sport in America. Ballesteros got hishumble start at the game hitting rocks with ahomemade 3-iron. One could argue that thisbeginning was the reason behind his legendary

short game. For Ballesteros there was no suchthing as trouble, winning a record 50European tour victories including five majorchampionships. Moreover, Ballesteros helpedput European golf on the map, making theRyder Cup one of the biggest events in theworld of sport.

Lee Trevino attributes Ballesteros shortgame success to the amount of spin (or lackthereof) he could impart on the golf ball.Trevino compliments his military-like action ofkeeping his lower body still, therefore allowinghis upper body and arms to create more speed.The average person uses more leg action,which steals essential upper-body speed to cre-ate spin. Trevino might be right when it comesto discovering the secret behind Ballesterosshort game prowess, however one should usecaution if trying to mimic his motion. Too muchof one ingredient might ruin the recipe.

Ballesteros will always be remembered forhis magical short game and his imagination inhitting creative shots. Todays young golferscan learn a lot if they play the game more likeBallesteros and less robotic. Golf is a hardgame and to be successful you should play thegame with a marriage of feel and mechanics.The next time you are practicing your shortgame, take out a 3-iron (if you still have one)and try to hit some shots in memory ofBallesteros. You will have a sense of what amagician he was.

Darren deMaille is a PGA Professional andthe Head Golf Professional at The Bridge inBridgehampton. For questions, email him [email protected].

This PGA Tours 2011 Memorial Tournamentwill be held at Muirfield Village Golf Club inDublin Ohio from May 30 through June 5.

Restaurant Review: Luce + HawkinsBy Stacy Dermont

Luce + Hawkins is one of my top threefavorite restaurants. I dont qualify that withon Long Island. Im in good company theHerbfarm Restaurant outside Seattle oftentops best restaurant lists and the Herbfarmwas where Chef Keith Luce used to hang histoque. Lucky for Long Islanders, Luce camehome to the North Fork two years ago.

A lot has changed at Luce + Hawkins sinceI was last there in October. Happily theirmenu changes frequently so you can counton experiencing the very best local produceat its peak. The biggest change, though, isthe addition of master sushi chef Minoru

Suzuki. He deserves a feature article of hisown so you can read more about him andhis art in an upcoming edition of DansPapers.

Lets review the glorious meal that myhusband and I enjoyed at Luce + Hawkinslast week.

Of course we started with cocktails fromthe Prohibition Era, as the menu describesthem. Cocktails during the Volstead Actyears (1919-1933) were designed to mask thetaste of bad booze, not so with these modernversions. My husbands Harvey Wallbangerwas made with LiV Vodka. My Pink Ladywas made with Fifty Pounds London Gin,

housemade grenadine and an egg whitesecured from one of the Luce + Hawkins res-ident hens. I couldnt quite tell if it camefrom a Silver-Backed Wyandotte or a BardPlymouth. My husband said I have a woeful-ly underdeveloped palate.

Id never indulged in a Pink Lady before.Pink Ladies are no lightweights. Theres aspecial treat at the bottom of your glass ifyou drink up this pretty, foamy pink drink.

Before we could start the meal proper, ChefSuzuki sent out a Fluke Carpaccio as anamuse bouche. Wow! were our bouchesamused. There are so many lovely littlesavory notes surrounding this finely cut fish carrot, radish, nori, with a bit of heat.Delicious. We demolished it. Then he sent outa Japanese seared duck. A Crescent Farmsduck that, to an American palate, tastes a bitpickled next to perfectly tender-crisp WellsFarms asparagus spears, served cold. Dontmiss experiencing the creamy, garlickyJapanese mayonnaise! Its not like ranchdressing, its like ranch heaven!

So then we started with our appetizers the soup of the night for me Carrot-Leek,and Shrimp and Lobster Meatballs (quotestheirs) with Lemon Mayonnaise for the hus-band. Carrots plus Satur Farms leeks equalssomething wonderful. The meatballs weredeemed like little crab cakes by my hus-band but I found their texture much morejolly than crab (no pun intended). They aresolid, but not overly dense. Syracha lends abit of tasty heat. For my entre I ordered theAtlantic Cod. I remember commenting, Thisis a lot of cod! followed by a first, delight-filled bite. My next memory is of a puddle ofmiso broth at the bottom of my dish. OhMommy, umami that was good too!

My husbands entre, the Friday DailySpecial, was the Shepards Pie. It was also onthe large size and gone in a flash. Hedeclared it the tastiest shepards pie everand buttery and beefy. High praise. Myhusband comes from a long line of Cornisheaters. The beef is a house-ground blend ofchuck, brisket, short rib and sirloin.

For dessert my husband went for his stan-dard heated cognac, expertly served by Luce+ Hawkins Director Michael Kaminski. Iordered the Caramel Corn and Corn Cake

Guild Hall to Screen Film About Paul BowlesBy Elise DHaene

When the documentary film Paul Bowles:The Complete Outsider was released in 1993,it received accolades from critics across theboard, who described the film as absorbing,amazing, tantalizing, intimate andirresistible. A Washington Post critic wrote,A fabulous film! You want to see it over andover again!

Regina Weinreich, who co-produced and co-directed the film with Catherine HillerWarnow, has lived part time in Montauk formore than 20 years. She met Paul Bowles inMorocco in 1983 when The School of VisualArts invited her to teach with him in a sum-

mer program. Realizing that this world-classwriter lived in Tangier, the school offered acreative writing workshop along with theirclasses in fine arts, photography and graph-ic design. Paul, however, did not teach. Sothat is where I came in. I had just completeda PhD degree in American literature. Wetaught the class together, Weinreich said.

In the U.S., at the time, Bowles was notwell known, even though he had had a dis-tinguished career as a composer, workingwith Tennessee Williams and LillianHellman. When I returned to New York, webegan a correspondence. One day, afterreceiving a letter from him, I began to think

about how to bring his work to an Americanaudience.

Some of the greatest writers and artists of

the 20th century encountered Bowles, amongthem, Aaron Copland, Gertrude Stein, W.H.Auden, Tennessee Williams, WilliamBurroughs, Allen Ginsberg and TrumanCapote.

A rare opportunity will be afforded onSunday, May 29, at Guild Hall in EastHampton at 4 p.m. to see a screening of PaulBowles: The Complete Outsider, with anintroduction to the film by Weinreich andWarnow and a question-and-answer sessionafter the screening. (Tickets cost $12, $10 formembers.)

As an icon to the Beat Generation, Bowleswriting and life have influenced everyonefrom William Burroughs (whose NakedLunch was inspired by Bowles), to DavidCronenbergs film of the same name, toBernardo Bertolucci, whose film adaptationof The Sheltering Sky was a critical and pop-ular hit.

Weinrich, who is a scholar of the BeatGeneration, approached Warner, a novelistshe had met when they both taught atBrooklyn College, about the possibility ofmaking a film about Bowles. Both womenhad worked in film previously, she said, sothey applied for a grant that week. We didnot get it, but that started us off on the proj-ect.

Filmed in Morocco and featuring exclusiveinterviews with cultural icons such as AllenGinsberg, the film explores the esoteric lifeof the man who wrote the The ShelteringSky, one of the most provocative and influen-tial novels of the 20th century, which waslater adapted to film by Bernardo Bertolucci.

When asked what most surprised herabout Bowles, Weinrich said, He was full ofcontradictions. He was well known for histravel writing. Yet, during the time I taughtwith him, when I would say I wanted to visitFez or other Moroccan cities, he would cau-tion me against it. Why do you want to go?he would ask. Youll catch a cold. He waslike a fussy parent. He claimed not to wantto be interviewed, but people would show up
