Hamptons Happenings “PAUL” formation on Mimosa Monday

Hamptons Happenings “PAUL” formation on Mimosa Monday
SAG HARBOR COMMUNITY: On Labor Day Monday, 9/7/15, family and friends of Paul Hansen gathered at Sagg Main Beach in Sagaponack to remember him and honor him with formations made up of people.

Paul Hansen, who was killed in a car accident near his home on Rolling Hills Court East in Noyac early Sunday morning. Mr. Hansen, a 53-year-old real estate salesman and father of two boys, was the passenger in a 2013 Porsche convertible that crashed into a utility pole at about 2 a.m. on Sunday, August 30th in Sag Harbor.

Paul’s family spoke so fondly about his favorite role of being a father. He enjoyed kiteboarding at Long Beach, taking his sons snowboarding in Vermont, lounging and surfing at Sagg Main beach, being a Cub Scout leader, golfing, fishing and spending time with his friends and large family.

Paul was an outdoor man who loved the water and so it was only fitting have a celebration at the beach on Labor Day. In an effort to HELP kickstart a fundraiser for Paul Hansen’s sons Hunter and Austin, his family organized a Re-create “Euro-Oval”/Carsticker decal (image below) by “people-forming” Mimosa Monday Partiers into letters and oval ring on beach.11990605_950908051632449_1035158470613286565_n Filmed start to finish by drone equipped w/ GoPro Camera & Tommy Hansen airplane “fly-by”.

Roberts in Water Mill closes its doors after 25 years

Roberts in Water Mill closes its doors after 25 years
Water Mill, NY: I am sad to announce that Robert’s Restaurant in Water Mill, NY a historic farmhouse and setting for rustic Italian cooking with local produce & seafood has closed their doors after 25 years. Owner-Chef Robert Durkin wrote in a Facebook Post on August 3rd. I was told 3 weeks ago that NYS Depart of Tax had shut them down, but I was hoping that they would recover.

l

Roberts-logoDurkin’s Facebook Post…..
“Dear Friends:Effective August 3, 2015, ROBERT’s has been closed after a long contentious and profoundly illegal action by the State of NY Sales Tax Authority . It is with much sadness that I share this news. I will in the future publicly share the sordid details of the immoral pogrom on the part of a bankrupt state, but that is the work of another day. Today I am feeling great sorrow and loss both for myself and the many people who contributed to making ROBERT’s the loving , living and thriving experience it was. I thank you all here for that. I go forward strengthened only by the moral certitude of my integrity , which regardless of the outrageous slanderous accusations of a state bereft intelligence or morals, remains very much in tact. And once again thank you for your many years of support.
Sincerely,
Robert Durkin
Chef , Owner ROBERT’s”
