The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center Saving Injured Wildlife on the East End

Jane Gill and Charlie Marder at the Birds of Prey event at Marders in Bridgehampton

 

The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in Hampton Bays was founded by Virginia Frati in the late 1990s to provide care and rehabilitation for injured wildlife. It’s the only facility of its kind on Long Island. The Center cares for and rehabilitates injured wildlife until they are able to be released back into the wild. Some that cannot be fully rehabilitated have permanent homes there.

 

Saunders & Associates agent Jane Gill, a member of the Center’s Board of Directors, is involved in making major decisions, and as a trained handler for birds of prey she is very involved in coordinating and participating in educational events for local schools, the community, and private events.

 

“I originally started volunteering at the center many years ago in its early days,” Jane says, “and I met Nick Marzano, who trained me to handle the birds of prey. We currently have eight birds of prey that live at the center because they are nonreleasable. They were all rescued with an injury that couldn’t be repaired, and they are now ambassadors for the center.”

 

 

As Jane explains, “The east end’s natural resources have been impacted by the desire for more people to live here, hence the building of new homes has exploded and that has infringed on many natural habitats. By doing the programs in the community and in schools we try to help people understand how to coexist with wildlife and learn more about their natural environment and how to take care of it. Examples of that are installing owl houses instead of using poisons for the little annoying critters that may be around your property, or opting to use more natural organic ingredients to prevent ticks that can cause Lyme disease. Another helpful practice is to let a lot of the leaves that fall from the trees stay under bushes which provide shelter for worms, butterflies, grasshoppers and other bugs in the natural cycle of life. That also creates a natural mulch which is excellent for the plants.”

 

The Center has an extended group of volunteers who have taken their classes to learn how to rescue. The area covered ranges from Westhampton to Montauk and as far north as the North Fork. “I have limited my rescuing now to the daytime hours,” Jane says, “and only when I’m not working.”

 

 

“We get multiple calls every day about injured wildlife,” notes Jane, “and the center welcomes all those who would like to volunteer to rescue. After receiving training it does not require any commitment other than rescuing when you are able to.  It’s extremely satisfying when someone calls the center, a volunteer goes out, retrieves the animal, the animal is rehabilitated at the center and then finally gets released back where it was found. I say to people all the time ‘thank you!’ Because it really takes a village.”

 

The Wildlife Rescue Center is a non-profit organization going into their 22nd year, and completely funded by generous donations from people in the community. Currently they are in need of new medical equipment and would like to build another room to help house some of the hundreds of animals that come in each year. Founder and executive director Ginny Frati will soon be retiring and the center is looking to hire a new executive director. To learn more about the center, or to volunteer or donate, visit their website  www.wildliferescuecenter.org, or find them on facebook.  For questions about injured wildlife, call the center at (631)728-WILD (9453).

The Parrish Art Museum’s Family Focused Fun Day

The Parrish Art Museum's Family Focused Fun Day

  • The place is the old Astro’s, and it looks pretty much the same except all the seating is now by the windows, and there are no tables. You can go in for slices, and overall, it’s a pretty typical pizza joint with a more retro vibe. But what’s great about this pizza is that it is thin and has a crispness to it that you don’t get anywhere else in the Hamptons. This means that even if you devour half a pie, you don’t walk away feeling bloated and like death is imminent, but you just feel really full from good pizza.

Everything is fresh, and the overall vibe is trendy. You have to go. I gave it an 8.4. #pizza  #pizzatime  #pizzalover  #hamptons  #finipizza
  • Special Screening of Love…Reconsidered, A Hamptons-Based Romantic Comedy

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will be hosting a premiere of the film Love…Reconsidered on Saturday, September 30th at 7:00 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium. This is the charming romantic comedy starring Sophie von Haselberg, Judy Gold, Marisa Ryan, Elaine Bromka, Luke Gulbranson, and Colton Haynes, set between New York City and Southampton.

Love…Reconsidered is based on Arielle Haller-Silverstone’s true love/life story, and she wrote the screenplay after losing her job during the pandemic where she then moved to the Hamptons. Haller-Silverstone is the co-owner of Le Closet, a curated consignment store, with locations in Southampton and New York City, and she can’t wait to premiere this film at WHBPAC and connect with viewers.

The screening will also include a panel discussion with the filmmakers moderated by Kate Schumacher and Carinn Jade of the well-known podcast Pop Fiction Women. They will dive into the film’s characters and the complicated lives they lead, along with the filmmaking process that brought this movie to life on the screen. Arielle Haller-Silverstone spoke more about her inspiration for the screenplay, her background, and what she is most looking forward to for the screening.

Congratulations on your film Love…Reconsidered. Can you talk about the story behind this film and where your inspiration came from to write the screenplay? 

Arielle Haller-Silverstone: I lost my job during COVID and started Le Closet from my studio apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. On a total whim, my dad knew a broker that knew a broker in Southampton, and I decided to give it a shot. I schlepped all of the clothes from NYC and opened on Windmill Lane (where the store still is today!). I knew there was a script within this story and had to make a movie. @whbpac

  • Sara Hartman Talks Musical Beginnings, Berlin, and New Album ‘Start Somewhere Dark’

With the excitement surrounding the return of the Sag Harbor Music Festival this year, one artist stood out in the lineup: Sara Hartman. She’s not your typical local artist. She is a SHMF veteran, performing at the very first one when she was just 15 years old. She grew up in Sag Harbor and attended Pierson High School. She took lessons at the famous Harbor Music Studio in Sag Harbor, and in 2015, she signed a record deal with a major label, moved to Germany, and toured the world opening for acts like Ellie Goulding, Clueso, Kelvin Jones, and many more. Her song “Monster Lead Me Home” off her Satellite EP has over 34 million Spotify streams. The US premiere of her new album “Start Somewhere Dark” will take place at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Saturday, September 30th. It seems things are coming full circle for Sara.

She spoke to Hamptons.com about her musical beginnings, Berlin, and new album ‘Start Somewhere Dark.’

Take us back to the beginning of your musical journey. How did it all start?

I grew up in Sag Harbor and took lessons with Paul Chapin at Harbor Music. It was a little lesson space near Sag Town Coffee way back in the day. I got a drum set for Christmas and really fell in love with it. I’m sure my neighbors were not as in love with the instrument as I was haha. I was really grateful to be working with Chapin as a teacher. He taught me a bit of piano, bass, guitar, and ukelele as well. That led to me writing songs in my bedroom as a way of dealing with a bit of a chaotic home life. It was therapy for me to be able to express myself through songs. I was adopted by the East End music scene after playing a show at Crossroads Music in Amagansett and soaked up all that I could learn. I was really supported by my family and my teachers at Pierson. Without all this, I wouldn’t be where I am today. @sarahartmanmusic

  • Behind the Bar: Dopo Argento in Southampton

Okay, let’s set the scene: we’re walking down Main Street, Southampton, black mini shoulder bags hanging between us. We’ve just finished dinner a few doors down, arms linked and chatting about that mini Dachshund we saw enjoying an evening stroll with its owner. What’s the next stop? You ask. A little night cap? I suggest. Could it be a warm July night, a moody October weekend– doesn’t matter because you know this bar is just as delicious in the summer months as it is on a biting winter night. @dopoargentosouthampton
