New S.U.V. Service Is Here for the Fourth

New S.U.V. Service Is Here for the Fourth

By Sergei Klebnikov

    After two successful months in New York City, Uber, an app-based car service start-up, expanded to the East End this week, hoping to take advantage of the many travelers on the Fourth of July weekend.

    As of yesterday, people from Westhampton to Montauk can use Uber to call for their own private drivers. The company will run an S.U.V. service on the East End through Labor Day weekend.

    Additionally, Uber is now offers rides between New York and the East End, with one-way flat rates ranging from $300 for a car to $500 for an S.U.V.

    Not fast enough for you? Uber celebrated its launch here by running helicopter flights on an experimental basis throughout the day yesterday. Christened UberChopper, the new high-end shuttle had S.U.V.s take customers to the closest helipad in New York City, where they took off for East Hampton Airport, to be met by another S.U.V. for the last leg of the trip. The service cost $3,000.

    After some regulatory battles with New York’s Taxi and Limousine Commission, Uber is increasingly popular in the city, and now operates its app business in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and overseas in cities like London and Berlin.

    Its S.U.V.s can seat up to six people. The rate is $6.50 per mile on the East End, with a minimum fare of $50. Cancellations will cost customers $15.

    The Uber app for iPhone or the Android operating system can be used to request an S.U.V., or the Web site m.uber.com can be visited. All payments are processed through the app, and receipts are e-mailed instantly. Customers don’t even have to wait outside — Uber tells you where your driver is, and notifies you when your S.U.V. is arriving.    

Selling Memories and More in Montauk

Selling Memories and More in Montauk

When Georgia and Tom Flight moved back to her hometown full time, she thought he might have nothing to do. Wrong indeed! The two keep busy in Montauk with three children and six stores.

You can find everything you never knew you needed

   In one of the six stores owned by Tom and Georgia Flight in Montauk, you can find everything you never knew you needed. The couple took over four of the stores in the Gosman’s complex in the harbor area in 2009 — Homeport, Fish City, Capt. Kidd, and Pier Group — and opened Homeport Town and Pier Group Sport a month ago in the hamlet’s downtown area.

    At the docks, most of their inventory is of the nautical style.

    Homeport sells indoor and outdoor furniture, some made from old fishing boats, as well as candles, lanterns, plates, wineglasses, platters, wind chimes, jewelry, lamps, and other home goods, and hostess or housewarming gifts.

    Before moving full time to Montauk, Mr. Flight, who was born and raised in London, handled real estate strategy for the Gap and Old Navy. He was also a buyer and planning director for Ann Taylor and handled the outlet and Internet business for Ann Taylor Loft. He worked in San Francisco and Manhattan and hated the commute to Montauk, where Ms. Flight (nee Biondo) was born and raised.

    The couple, who now have three children, met in London while she was studying abroad, and married in 2002. Ms. Flight, a journalist, said it was her husband’s idea to move back full time to her hometown. Her worries that there wouldn’t be enough for him to do in Montauk proved to be unfounded.

    “I was ready to become a pool boy in Shelter Island,” Mr. Flight said with a laugh. It’s a luxury, he said, to work so close to home and be able to run home at any time of day to see his children. “For me the lifestyle here is great. To have that freedom brings my blood pressure down,” he said, adding, “So much of what we sell is memories.”

    Fish City is a kitschy nook of a store that sells beach bags, decorative napkins, glass candleholders, towels, humorous plaques, some jewelry, straw hats, and much more, all at inexpensive prices.

    When the couple took over Capt. Kidd, which Ms. Flight calls her baby, they switched the inventory up a bit to add birthday gifts and fun, inexpensive toys for children. In the middle of the store is a Thomas the Tank Engine track for tiny fingers to play with while parents shop. There are also infant and toddler dresses, shirts, sweatshirts, and stuffed animals.

    At the Pier Group, a men’s clothing store which offers windbreakers, casual dress shirts, hats, caps, deck shoes, and sweatshirts, Mr. Flight added a sportier line.

    Pier Group Sport on South Etna Avenue near Naturally Good sells wo­men’s clothing, and Homeport Town sells most of the same items as the harbor store but with more fine jewelry. “I thought Montauk’s Main Street should have a jewelry store,” Mr. Flight said.

    The couple said that the dock area isn’t as busy as it once was, a shame, Mr. Flight said, because it’s a great place for people to shop and let their children play on the large grassy area and decorative boat that invites climbing. They also noticed that it’s a younger, more affluent crowd that seems to be drawn to the area.

    The stores in the dock area are open every day from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., Homeport Town is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Pier Group Sport is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The stores’ combined Web site is mymontauk.com.

A Last Bastion of Sag’s Industrial Era

A Last Bastion of Sag’s Industrial Era

Inside the nondescript Sag Harbor Industries, engineers, specialized workers, and laborers manufacture voice coils for headsets, motor windings, solenoids, custom-wound electrical coils, stators, wire harnesses, and electronic assemblies, not to mention the tools they need to do their work.

By Sergei Klebnikov

    Although hard to notice with the unsuspecting eye, behind the dense bushes and hedges along the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike lies one of Sag Harbor’s last industrial manufacturers. Founded in 1946 by Charles Edison, son of the famous inventor Thomas Alva Edison, Sag Harbor Industries remains a landmark of a time not so long ago, when the village of Sag Harbor was known for its manufacturing capabilities. Today, the company is one of the last, if not the only, industrial-level manufacturer remaining in Sag Harbor.

    At its Sag Harbor location and another in Farmville, N.C., workers create voice coils for headsets, motor windings, solenoids, custom-wound electrical coils, stators, wire harnesses, electronic assemblies, purchasing magnet wires and the like for big suppliers such as Elektrisolar in New Hampshire, the Rea Magnet Wire Company in Indiana, and Superior Essex in Georgia, and they also manufacture all the tools they use in the workplace.

    “We help make other people’s products,” said David Leeney, the operations manager. “We’re deep in the industrial cycle.”

    The products are shipped all over the country to companiesm large and small, particularly those in the aerospace and electronic fields, including military and government. One of Sag Harbor Industries’ biggest, and nearest, clients is the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton.

    The Sag Harbor location, which employs nearly 50 people, most of them full time, is bustling with energy. Engineers, specialized workers, and manual laborers all toil under the same roof under a system of flexible hours originated by Edison decades ago. Employees can choose their ideal working hours as long as they make at least 40 hours per week.

    Edison founded the company with the idea that “a smaller, localized manufacturer could be more productive than a larger one with a central location,” according to the company’s Web site. “He believed that a smaller operation could react quicker to adversity than a larger plant with several thousand employees.”

    It started out producing small electrical coils for appliances and automobile clocks, and later expanded its scope and its physical plant. The family of one of Edison’s original partners, Paul Scheerer, eventually bought out all the shares in Sag Harbor Industries. The Scheerer family still owns it and Mr. Scheerer’s daughter, Mary Scheerer, is the company’s president.

    Despite its persistence in an ever-changing economy, the company underwent some trying times when it was faced with an issue of groundwater contamination on its land in the 1990s. Sag Harbor Industries had purchased land on the eastern side of the Sag Harbor Turnpike from Nabisco Inc. After the contamination issue was discovered, Nabisco and Sag Harbor Industries signed a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency, agreeing, among other things, to install recovery wells to pump groundwater to a treatment system. Most of those wells have been shut down because contaminants were no longer detected, according to the company.

    The North Carolina branch was added in the late 1990s to “spread things out,” Mr. Leeney said. It serves more as a manufacturing facility, while most of the executive functions — sales, marketing, and operations — remain in Sag Harbor. There is “lots of interaction between the two facilities,” Mr. Leeney said, as Ms. Scheerer prepared to leave for a flight to North Carolina.

    In Sag Harbor, the operation shares the building with Joe and Liza’s Ice Cream, the Awning Company, and a separate division of Sag Harbor Industries, Dortronics Systems, which manufactures electric locking hardware for the security and door-control industries. When asked how this came about, it turns out that Mr. Scheerer had always wanted his own product, and this was how the idea of Dortronics Systems was started. The combined value of both companies in revenue is around $7 million, according to Mr. Leeney.

The Golden Eagle to Close Its Doors

The Golden Eagle to Close Its Doors

Nancy Rowan, an owner of the Golden Eagle in East Hampton, is on the lookout for a new space for her art supply store after learning that the Gingerbread Lane storefront has been rented to someone else as of Oct. 1.

   The Golden Eagle, a local institution that has long provided fine-art supplies, children’s art supplies and toys, fun and unusual gifts, and year-round art instruction for adults and children, will close its doors on Sept. 30.

    Elizabeth Dow, an artist and designer who is director of the Applied Arts School for the Arts in Amagansett, will take occupancy on Oct. 1. The Golden Eagle’s owners, Nancy and Tom Rowan, are seeking a new location for the store, which they have run at 14 Gingerbread Lane in East Hampton since 2001.

    The store’s principals were shocked to learn that their lease was not renewed, Ms. Rowan said on Monday. “A customer came in about two weeks ago and informed my manager that the space had been rented to someone else,” she said. On June 26, Ms. Rowan said, Ken Wessberg, the building’s landlord, confirmed to her that he had rented the space to Ms. Dow. “I don’t know why I was never told,” Ms. Rowan said.

    Last fall, Ms. Rowan said, Mr. Wessberg offered a new lease at terms the Rowans could not meet. She made a counteroffer, which she said Mr. Wessberg accepted. “I was assured several times throughout the winter that that amount was adequate and he was satisfied. That was it, until this customer came in two weeks ago,” she said. “I ordered inventory for a year, some of it. Now I have two and a half months to sell it.” As of press time, Mr. Wessberg had not responded to multiple messages seeking comment.

    The Golden Eagle has four full-time, year-round employees and several part-time employees, Ms. Rowan said, “as well as art teachers and a huge community of kids, artists — people that depend on the store.”

    Ms. Dow told The Star on Tuesday that she learned of the store’s availability through the real estate agent who is selling the building she currently leases at 11 Indian Wells Highway in Amagansett. “I was not aware of the plans for the store to close,” she said of the Golden Eagle. “I’m an artist, so I hate to see any art store close.”

    The building at 14 Gingerbread Lane will become a showroom space in which Ms. Dow plans to display a variety of designers’ textile collections and provide interior design services. “There will be an architect on board joining us there, as well as featuring some one-of-a-kind artisan works and antiques,” she said. “I also plan on moving my wallcovering production studio there and am hoping to include the ceramics studio that currently exists. We’re also going to have a gallery component as part of our showroom. We would like to carry on with the tradition of giving artists a space in East Hampton, and in that location.”

    As for the Golden Eagle, “We are going to try our hardest to find another place and reopen,” Ms. Rowan said. “We all love what we do here, and I really feel the community needs something like this in this area, year round.”

    “I wish the Golden Eagle the best,” said Ms. Dow, “and hope I can be as much an asset to the community as they have been for so many decades.”

Montauk Ices

    Italian ices are coming to Montauk — from a food truck. Beginning this weekend, the Montauk Ice Co. truck will pull up at Kirk Park, across from the 7-Eleven and next to the I.G.A., and offer homemade, gourmet Italian ices and other frozen treats.

    The truck will be open for business daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., weather permitting. Among the 20 varieties are cream ices, spumoni, and cremelata.

    The owner, Joe Tranchina, has spent summers in Montauk since he was a child. He describes himself as a “longtime Montauk enthusiast and recent Fairfield University graduate.”

Whalebone Correction

    In a photo caption last week, the owner of Whalebone Creative, a clothing brand and shop in Montauk, was misidentified. The owner, Jesse James Joeckel, was at a Waves for Water benefit at Solé East, where a film featuring the crew from his shop was being screened. Dylan Eckardt, who was also pictured, is not involved with Whalebone Creative.

Shops Break Out All Over

Shops Break Out All Over

By Angie Duke

    As summer heats up, so does the shopping. The addition of new stores, boutiques, and services adds to the list of gift ideas for the summer of 2013.

    Among them is Georgica Hearth, a new company selling custom-made gift baskets that incorporate fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, meat, cheese, and wine. It’s also possible to put together custom baskets with a combination of products you like most. All of Georgica Hearth’s produce and products are locally derived. Prices for the baskets start at $200.

    Michelle Smith, a designer and the founder of Milly, a luxury fashion brand based in New York City, unveiled a pop-up shop over Memorial Day weekend. The shop, at 54 Main Street in East Hampton, features handbags, beachwear, shoes, and summer attire. It will be open for 18 months and seeks to complement boutiques in Tokyo and New York City.

    Vilebrequin, the French men’s resort wear company, is also opening a pop-up boutique this summer. The shop will be in Linde Gallery on Newtown Lane in East Hampton and will offer the company’s signature swimwear, clothing, and accessories. The new women’s collection of swim and resort wear will also be available. Swimwear prices range from $170 to $740.

    Hamptons Home and Patio is taking over the vacant lot in Wainscott where Plitt Ford and Whole Foods once stood. The new furniture and home gifts store was founded by Bennett Mayrock and Jack Tirone, two college friends who are attempting to tailor the shop to the style and function of an East Hampton home. The grand-opening sale is happening through Saturday.

Dental Spa’s House Calls

    Two new businesses are providing services on the go or in the comfort of your own home this summer: Main Street Drivers and Lavaan Dental Spa.

    Main Street Drivers is offering one-way and full tristate area driving services, as well as partnerships with wine tours on the North Fork. The service is available 24 hours a day and uses customers’ own vehicles. The standard rate is $40 per hour. Reservations are by phone at 888-327-4460 or online at mainstreetdrivers.com.

    Lavaan Dental Spa will also come to your home. The business is providing professional whitening treatments within the houses of customers. Prices start at $999 for appointments reserved in advance, and a free dental cleaning appointment in Lavaan’s New York City location comes with each purchase. Group rates are available. Appointments can be booked at lavaansmile.com.

    And finally, Calypso St. Barth now has five locations from Westhampton Beach to Montauk. Each boutique offers unique apparel, beachwear, jewelry, and accessories. The store’s most recent collections can be found at calypsostbarth.com.
