A Princely Exclusive

    Prince of Scots, at 700 Montauk Highway in Water Mill, will host Gail Toma, a South Fork artist, on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Ms. Toma will show her watercolors, scarves, apparel, and furniture, and will offer personal consultations on style. She is available for commission work as well.

All About Mortgages

    Bridgehampton National Bank’s Apple campaign culminated on Friday with the distribution of money to food pantries throughout the market the bank serves. At a ceremony at the bank’s main office in Bridgehampton, pantries in that hamlet, East Hampton, Southampton, Springs, and Sag Harbor each received a $1,000 check. Maureen’s Haven, which helps the homeless on the East End, received a check for $2,000.

    This represents just part of the $20,000 donated by bank customers, employees, and the company. In addition, distributions were made to pantries from Deer Park and Hauppauge to Greenport and Montauk.

    “The economic stresses have not eased for many people, and the past few storms have compounded the needs. Helping those people in our communities who struggle is part of what we believe community banking is all about,” said Kevin M. O’Connor, president and C.E.O. of Bridgehampton National Bank.

    The Apple program began several years ago with a conversation initiated by representatives of the East Hampton Food Pantry. They suggested the apple as a means of recognizing donations. The bank took the program, an annual holiday tradition that runs through the end of January, to all of its 22 branches across Suffolk County. In addition to the financial gift, branch staff members collect nonperishable foods during the months of November, December, and January, which are also distributed to local pantries.

   When you walk in the backdoor of Herb’s Market, whether on a perfect summer day or in the dead of winter, the smell of Thanksgiving permeates the air. It comes from the roasted stuffed chickens and famous fried chickens that are cooked daily at the Montauk market. Joe Ferraro, the new owner, doesn’t­ plan on changing a thing, except, perhaps, to add a few more precooked items.

    Mr. Ferraro bought the business in December but started working there as an apprentice under the previous owners, Gillian Mooney and Lucille Lenahan, in July. He watched and learned and is making a few slight changes, he said on Sunday. His parents, Carl and Diane Ferraro, are helping him find his way in the business and have been seen recently stocking shelves and sweeping the old wood floors.

    He found it useful, however, to take over during the winter months when business slowed and allowed him to meet the locals and learn the ropes. “It’s been all positive feedback. It’s been great getting to know everyone,” he said.

    What Mr. Ferraro noticed in summer is that people, especially those on vacation, don’t like to wait on sandwich lines. So he plans on adding prewrapped sandwiches and wraps for those on the go, starting soon. The staff of about 8 will jump to 10 in the summer months, but all the old faces will remain.

    He spent his younger years visiting delis owned by his grandfather, who was a butcher in Brooklyn. He has learned the most, though, about cutting up meat from Ms. Mooney and Herb Herbert, the market’s namesake, who owned it for many years before the two women took over. Mr. Herbert still owns the building.

    Since he was a boy, Mr. Ferraro spent summers in Montauk. He worked in finance in Manhattan for 10 years, and crunching numbers, he said, has come in handy as a business owner. “It all comes full circle.”

    This past winter he decided to close at 4 p.m. on weekdays because he noticed after the lunch rush was over that only three or so customers would come in, and it wasn’t worth it financially to keep everything going. His hours will expand come the warmer weather, with a closing time of 7 p.m. in the height of summer.

    As the owner, his job encompasses a little bit of everything, but he’s the main butcher, which he’s getting used to, he said, adding, “There are worse jobs than that.”

    This year was his first as a deli owner for the St. Patrick’s Day parade, which drew a crowd of up to 35,000 people. He hired security, which was needed, he said. “I think it was my first and last parade.” He might be closed for next year’s.

    Frank Calvo, the new pharmacist at White’s Drug and Department Store in Montauk, said he’s a familiar face in a different setting. Mr. Calvo owned the East Hampton Pharmacy for eight years and the Bridgehampton Pharmacy for one year before the economy tanked and he was forced to sell.

    “It was very sad,” he said from his elevated post behind the registers at White’s, where he has a bird’s-eye view of all who enter the store.

    CVS pharmacy bought him out but never opened in either space. “They wanted to consolidate the competition,” he said, explaining that as part of the buyout he had to work the pharmacy in the East Hampton CVS for at least three months.

    “Emotionally, it was grueling to see all my old customers there in CVS,” he said.

    From there he moved on to the pharmacy department in Rite Aid in Bridgehampton for a year and a half. And it was there that he was approached by Deryn Trott, the owner of White’s, who asked if he would be interested in a job in the Montauk store.

    A resident of Springs, Mr. Calvo jumped at the chance and hasn’t regretted a day since. He started at the end of October and found he really enjoyed working for an independently owned store.

    “I love it. It’s nice being back in a community. I have time to spend with the customers. When they come to see me they’re sick, and I need to help them as soon as possible.” He said he was surprised when some residents showed a bit of shock when he asked if they would like to wait while he fills their prescriptions. “I don’t think they were used to that.”

    This week Mr. Calvo is meeting with a group of senior citizens at the Montauk Playhouse Community Center for a brown-bag seminar at which he has asked them to pack up and bring all their medications to go through together. As part of an outreach program he plans to expand upon, he expects to take the time and discuss the seniors’ insurance policies and explain to them about federal and state programs that might be beneficial, as well as what medications might need prior approval before they are filled.

    A delivery service outside the hamlet, mainly for customers who have recently moved to the St. Michael’s senior citizens’ housing project in Amagansett, is also in his plans. And he’d like to get back the customers who have moved on to other pharmacies for various reasons.

    Montauk is a different Hampton, Mr. Calvo said. He likes being part of a smaller community and is considering buying a house there to embed himself further. A pharmacist for 23 years, he takes a personal approach with his customers. He called the position challenging but not hard. “You just need to have compassion.”

    Since Montauk is the eastern end of Long Island, Ms. Trott has found it difficult to keep a pharmacist willing to make the commute to the only pharmacy in the hamlet. The expression of relief on her face since she found Mr. Calvo, who will probably stay for a while, is very rewarding, the new pharmacist said, smiling.

    The pharmacy at White’s is open every day but Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. There are two other part-time pharmacists who fill in on Mr. Calvo’s days off. He would like to expand the store hours and maybe move the pharmacy to another part of the store so he could work a little bit more quietly, away from the center of things. There’s a good chance he’ll be accommodated.
