   Christiana McMahon does not peer into a crystal ball or wear a scarf around her head, but she does hear, see, and feel what others cannot, she said, and shares the information via Skype and cellphone with an international client base. Ms. McMahon, who lives in Southampton, has had telepathic skills, including the ability to channel the spirits of those who have died, since she was born, she said, and has been using them full time as a professional intuitive consultant and medium for 10 years.

    Her clients are often wealthy, sometimes famous, and always grateful for the enlightenment she offers on various personal and business matters. She will share her skills at house parties and has been called to houses whose owners believe they are haunted. Her hourly rate is less than that of other psychic mediums who receive more media attention with a comparable accuracy level, she said.

    Although she can “read” those on “the other side,” she “loves to help those on planet Earth” get down to the nitty gritty, whether it’s regarding a personal, relationship, family, or career matter. During a conference on Monday with a client who had a health concern, Ms. McMahon immediately identified it and offered insight as to its cause. “You need to alkalize,” she told the client, “lots of greens. Sugar is not your friend.”

    “She doesn’t hold back,” said her boyfriend, Osman Ozcan of Water Mill, who said he is known as “the Turk.” He has gotten used to constant interruptions whenever and wherever the couple go out, and even when Ms. McMahon is sleeping. She awakens with messages, and has told him things like, “Your father is in the room.” He said he doesn’t mind the interruptions or recognition. “People are intrigued,” he said, and sometimes it is Ms. McMahon herself that feels the urge to approach a stranger.

    “What I do helps people,” she said before a reading on Monday. “I have a strong sense about stuff. . . . I don’t tell people what to do . . . I give my spin.” She sometimes uses tarot cards or other tools, depending on the person she’s dealing with. When her client asked a question Monday, she shuffled the deck, looked into the distance, and returned with an answer. Asked later about being wrong, she said, “I am human, and things can change.” When she doesn’t know, she doesn’t pretend to. She believes that there is information that is not meant or not ready to be known, and that skeptics are harder to read.

    Since moving permanently to the South Fork about five years ago, she has been in demand, primarily via the Internet, and has clients around the world. She had a column in The Southampton Press and is heard on a weekly public radio show on 88.3 FM, on which callers can ask questions on the air for no charge.

    Her year-round business is steady and every day is different, she said. She notices a dip in calls prior to the winter holiday season, but they pick up again after, and sometimes during, the holidays.

    She hasn’t been called on to assist in any local police matters, but she did help find a kidnapped child in Houston, where she was born, she said.

    Ms. McMahon remembers having “the gift” as a child, but neither she nor her mother understood it. An accomplished equestrian, she began to “communicate” with horses as a teenager, and was later employed as a trainer at the Royal Stables of His Excellency, for the late king of the United Arab Emirates in Dubai. She said she could hear the horses’ conversations with each other.

    Having her astrological chart analyzed by an astrologer revealed that she was supposed to use her sixth sense as a career. In exploration, she used a great deal of her savings to see “what was out there,” and found a lot of fraud, which made her want to lend credibility to those who truly have the gift.

    With a television program in the works, Ms. McMahon hopes to move further toward that goal, and to share her approach with a larger audience. Asked what she specializes in, she said, “It is the person who I am reading, and what they need.”

   When he started East Hampton Vacuums 25 years ago on North Main Street, Martin O’Brien and his then-business partner, George Harvey, saw a niche that needed to be filled. “I always say, dirt is universal,” Mr. O’Brien said last week, and the desire to mop it, sweep it, or suck it up is pretty much universal, too.

    Mr. O’Brien, now the sole owner, had been a door-to-door Electrolux salesman based in Riverhead. Mr. Harvey delivered door-to-door for Electrolux and did repairs out of his basement. They teamed up in the summer of 1987 to open their own place.

    The shop, which moved to Montauk Highway in 1992, is probably one of the most useful businesses in East Hampton, but the kind you don’t know is there until you need it. You might have passed it and wondered, how does a store that sells vacuums make it in East Hampton? Then once you go in, you get it.

    Sure, East Hampton Vacuums sells and services portable vacuums — Miele is its brand of choice — but it also installs and services central vacuums, and stocks bags for every imaginable model, hoses and attachments, brooms, mops, cleaning products, air purifiers, regular irons, commercial-style steam irons, and ironing systems (those built-in cabinets with a drop-down board and accompanying iron that can be found in the nicest of laundry rooms). And there’s not much that East Hampton Vacuums can’t or won’t fix in the garage workshop behind the store.

    “Over the years we’ve had people bring in all kinds of things,” Mr. O’Brien said, from a favorite suitcase that a customer wanted wheels on to broken china to hair dryers and vacuums for horses.

    “You don’t want to be here when those things come in,” said Mr. O’Brien’s nephew Chris Pond, the store’s manager.

    Even when they’re smelly, few repair requests are turned down, and that, too, keeps people coming back. “There are not many fix-it shops around,” Mr. O’Brien said. “I tell them, we fix everything but broken hearts, as long as it’s legal.”

    Older people will sometimes drag in a beloved 60 or 70-year-old vacuum for repair, hoping to squeeze a few more years out of a faithful companion. Maybe they got it for a wedding present, or an anniversary gift way back when. “There’s a story behind every piece of equipment,” Mr. O’Brien said. “Being in here behind the counter, it’s like being behind a bar. Sometimes we think we’re like vacuum psychologists.”

    Mr. O’Brien said he will someday pass the business on to his nephew, who has been involved since he was 10. “He used to push a broom around, sort screws, and now he virtually runs the place,” said his uncle.

    A son-in-law, Jim Schwarz, is in charge of central vacuum installation, which is a large part of the business. “We’ve installed in houses up to 30,000 square feet and as small as 1,000 square feet,” Mr. O’Brien said.

    “People think it’s unaffordable, yet you can spend more on a canister vacuum than on installing a central vacuum,” Mr. Pond said from behind the counter.

    The two know their vacuum brands and have strong opinions on them.

    The modern Electrolux is, “at best, average.” Bagless vacuums? Forget it. “The mess is one thing, but you’ve got to buy expensive filters that have to be replaced.” Dyson has “hounded” the shop to become a dealer. “The best thing you can say about Dyson is they’re colorful,” Mr. Pond said.

    “Certain brands I don’t sell because I don’t believe in the quality of them,” Mr. O’Brien said.

    “And I don’t want to fix it for free,” said Mr. Pond.

    He joked about the many puns one can use in the vacuum trade. Example: “Our business is always picking up.”

    The truth is, every year has been strong, with the exception of 2009, Mr. O’Brien said, when central vacuum installations came to a screeching halt along with the economy.

    The company has done installations since it opened, in some cases handling them for two generations, and it will travel from Manhattan to Montauk to do them. “People will have us do their second home, then they’ll call us to do their first,” Mr. O’Brien said. “How do you say no to existing customers?” He has over 100 customers in the Douglaston, Whitestone, and Great Neck area, and some on the North Fork and Shelter Island, too, but most of the business is from Remsenburg east.

    The fact that East Hampton Vacuums has endured for a quarter century speaks not only to its good reputation, but to the fact that it has been “blessed” with a good landlord, Jesse Jackson, who has been fair and always helpful, Mr. O’Brien said.

     “If I can say anything to people of the town it’s thank you. Without them none of this would be possible,” he said. “This is a family operation. It helped me put four daughters through college and law school.”

   David J. Gilmartin Jr., Eric Bregman, and David J. Gilmartin Sr., former partners at their namesake Southampton law firm, have joined Farrell Fritz in Bridgehampton. Amy M. Murphy has joined the firm’s Hauppauge office.

   David J. Gilmartin Jr. specializes in land use, zoning, real estate, commercial matters, and related litigation. He previously served as deputy town attorney and town attorney in Southampton, as well as special assistant district attorney.

   Among Mr. Bregman’s areas of concentration are land use, zoning, real estate, environmental concerns, and commercial matters. He has previously served as town attorney in East Hampton, special assistant district attorney, and special counsel for Southampton Town.

   David J. Gilmartin Sr. specializes in land use, real estate, trusts and estates, and business and corporate matters. He has served as Southampton Village attorney, Southampton Town attorney, and as Suffolk County attorney and assistant district attorney.

   Ms. Murphy focuses on commercial and residential real estate purchases, sales, and financings. She was an associate at Gilmartin & Bregman starting in 2005.
