    While people fret over pesticides and other nefarious additives in our food supply, who will be the watchdog for the four-legged crowd?

    Betsy Petroski Smith has stepped up to the plate — or the dog bowl — with a line of completely natural dog toys and biscuits under the name dogOdog, with all the ingredients, from packaging to product, 100 percent certified organic and made in the United States. Ms. Petroski puts the packages together herself in East Hampton.

    After losing a dog, her shar-pei, Leo, to a stomach-related illness, Ms. Petroski found herself plunged into despair. “I was writing songs for Leo,” said Ms. Petroski, whose husband, Mark Smith, is the managing partner of the Honest restaurant group, which includes Nick and Toni’s and Rowdy Hall. “I was a wreck, sunk into a funky depression.”

    When she finally stuck a toe back in the canine waters to get a new pet, Ms. Petroski found herself with another shar-pei, Theo, and no available snacks and treats that were not filled with additives or packaged outside of the country. “He was a chewer,” she said. “But everything was brightly colored or made of rubber.”

    She refused to give him rawhide, which, she said, “is bleached with formaldehyde,” and when she tried “those dog toys with squeakers and stuffing,” she said, “I found myself, every night, sewing them up.” She also tried the cotton-thread bones, “but there were these tiny thin threads all over the house.” And the treats were no better, filled with artificial and unpronounceable ingredients of questionable origin.

    Drawing on her background in the hosiery business and her love of baking, Ms. Petroski took matters into her own hands.

    She called an old friend in the textile industry and after finding a suitable organic, unbleached, and untreated cotton yarn milled in the U.S., asked him to make up a model of her own design. When the samples were sent to her, Ms. Petroski wove and braided together a play-tug cotton chew toy treat that she felt comfortable letting Theo gnaw on, with no mess either.

    “I was sort of looking for something to do,” she said to explain her growth from hobby to cottage industry. “I decided if I was going to do this, it was going to be 100 percent, with every single, tiny element organic, U.S.A.-made,  compostable, and green.” Soon she was producing them in three different sizes for dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes.

    She also began producing round disks of dog biscuits, filled with healthy and organic ingredients like flax, grains, and honey. They are fine for humans (and pretty tasty, too), but made for dogs and other animals, with a shelf life of four to five weeks.

    The packaging is all eco-friendly, the box is reusable with a wood pulp BioFilm bag holding the goodies. The ribbon is organic and hand-stamped by Ms. Petroski.

    Ms. Petroski said she has been lucky to work with such good people as she brought the products to reality. “They were all dog lovers,” she said. “It was so rewarding.”

    The logo for dogOdog features a smiling shar-pei in the middle of a flower bloom, with weimeraners around the outside — a nod of the head (or a wag of the tail) to Ms. Petroski’s previous pets.

    For now, dogOdog remains “in the crawling stage,” Ms. Petroski said, with her as the company’s only general dogsbody. Gift boxes with chew toys and snacks can be purchased from the Web site at dogodogorganics.com. Ms. Petroski is grateful for the reception she has received for her products, and even more for the opportunities she has had.

    “Everything I have learned in the hosiery business or as being a self-taught baker has brought me to a place were I can do something I’m so passionate about. It makes my heart sing,” she said.

Operation Rescue Paw

    The Rescue Paw Foundation, founded by Candy Udell, an East Hampton resident and the president of London Jewelers, has teamed up with the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons to rescue young dogs from entering a high-kill shelter in Lawrence County, Ala. Eleven young mixed-breed dogs came from Alabama to Wainscott on Oct. 7, saved from “deplorable conditions,” according to a release from the Animal Rescue Fund.

    “We are very grateful to Candy Udell and the Rescue Paw Foundation for providing spay-neuter services in the Deep South and transporting these adorable dogs,” said Sara Davison, the executive director of ARF.

    “There are many dogs in need of rescue from very rural areas where overpopulation is rampant,” Ms. Udell said.

    The organizations see this as the first of many collaborations. The dogs will be put up for adoption once they have passed an exam with ARF’s veterinarian.

Smell Solutions

    Gene Grossane of East Hampton has launched the Suffolk County offices of Biosweep, a firm offering odor removal and air and surface decontamination services for problems arising from mold, smoke, pollen, and animals. Services extend to fire and water damage and crime scene and meth-lab cleanups.

    Mr. Grossane was trained here by representatives from the national company. Biosweep, he said, offers a service that is needed on Long Island.

    From athletic facilities to hotels and restaurants and other places where questionable odors can occur, Mr. Grossane looks forward to answering the age-old question, “Honey, what’s that smell?”

Joining Brown Harris

    Brown Harris Stevens, a South Fork real estate company, has announced that Mary Ann Cinelli, a longtime agent in the area, has joined the firm.

    “We could not be more pleased to have an agent of Mary Ann’s caliber decide to join our ranks,” Cia Comnas, the company’s executive managing director, said in a release.

    Ms. Cinelli began her real estate career in the tristate area before moving to the South Fork, where she has worked for more than 15 years. She lives with her husband, Michael Cinelli, in Sag Harbor, and will be working primarily out of the Brown Harris Stevens brokerage office in Bridgehampton.

    Riddle me this, Batman: What is the opposite of a pop-up store?

    If your answer was “mom-and-pop retailers,” you shall live to shop in East Hampton Village for another day.

    A recent ad from Manhattan Skyine Management Corporation, heralding retail space in East Hampton on the Circle and Park Place, appealed to “mom and pop retailers,” with the bonus that the landlord “will set lease terms accordingly.” It’s been noted by locals and real estate agents that the pop-up store business, while a successful stopgap measure for landlords, is not a long-term solution.

    “Village government would encourage mom-and-pop stores,” said East Hampton Village Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach. “When entrepreneurs come in, we wish them well.”

    White’s Pharmacy  and a handful of other East Hampton retail establishments have the increasingly uncommon distinction of staying in business, in the same spot, for over four decades, year round. So how do they manage to do it?

    White’s, at 81 Main Street, was established in 1873 and has occupied the same space since then, making it the oldest continually-operating retail business in the village.

    Bradley Marmon purchased White’s in 1954, although the business was recently sold to the pharmacist Vincent Alibrandi. Elise Marmon, Mr. Marmon’s daughter, is still the cosmetics buyer at the store and can be found there more days than not.

    “As the town has changed, so has our clientele,” said Ms. Marmon. One can no longer buy remedies for cholera, dyspepsia, or nervous prostration (at least not over the counter), but the shop is chock-full of high-end cosmetics and perfumes, keeping up with new brands as they emerge, and offers a full-service pharmacy as well.

    Sam’s Pizza has occupied the same beige-colored spot on Newtown Lane since 1947, and remains virtually unchanged since Sam Naska opened the place with his family, when it catered to the year-round community, including Jackson Pollock, who lived in Springs. In a place where restaurants go toes-up about as often as goldfish, Sam’s is one of the oldest eateries on eastern Long Island.

    East Hampton Village Hardware — now known as Village True Value Hardware — sold its first hammer in 1971, a few doors down from Sam’s, the same year as Tennis East on Main Street opened half a block away from White’s. Bernard Kiembock said that at the time it was a gamble to open across the street from East End Hardware, which closed several years ago.

    Tennis East, which was profiled in The Star five years ago for its 35th anniversary, has been stringing rackets and marketing duds for the courts for 40 years. Renee Fertig, Adrienne Pizzolato, and Alexis Glowa are the owners.    

    Although, according to Ms. Fertig, they are selling the business, it’s sort of staying in the family. The new owners are Michael Donahue and Robert Rahr of M.D. Tennis in Westhampton. Mr. Donohue worked for Ms. Fertig at Tennis East a dozen years ago.

    “The secret has been, we love our customers,” she said. “And also to be very careful about inventory going into the winter. Winters can be hard,” she said.

    Even though it has moved its location at least three times in the past four decades, it wouldn’t be right in a list of decades-old village retailers to leave out BookHampton, which has been a comfortable literary hidey-hole for the year-round community of bookworms for over 40 years.

    The outcry that arose when East Hampton Cinema changed from a one-screen movie theater to two screens during the late 1970s would be laughed at today. But the large single-screen theater, which offered smoking and non-smoking sections, had been serving up popcorn and entertainment since 1926 as the movie house built by Leonard Edwards. That incarnation, the Edwards Theater, burned to the ground in the mid-1960s, and was rebuilt as the East Hampton Cinema that exists today. It reopened on Aug. 3, 1965, with a showing of “The Finest Hours,” a documentary about Winston Churchill narrated by Orson Welles.

    Vered Gallery, Obligato, Gubbins, Khanh Sports, the Party Store, Bonne Nuit, Second Nature, Wittendale’s, the Palm restaurant — these businesses will probably still be serving customers, along with the other places mentioned, as additional stores and restaurants continue to pop up and fizzle out in the coming years.

    Pumpernickel’s Deli on Pantigo Road in East Hampton — founded and owned by Dianne Payne, who has been behind the counter taking orders and shooting the breeze with her customers for 16 years — is closing its doors at the end of the business day tomorrow. Those with a hankering for an Erik, Nicole, Christina, or Erin sandwich (named after Ms. Ryan’s four children) might want to visit in the next 48 hours, or they’ll have to go cold turkey on the Ovengold turkey.

    Ms. Payne has trouble talking about tomorrow without choking up. “When I started here, their [Nicole and Erik, her twins] noses were just under the counter,” she said. Now, with Erin and Christina both living upstate, one expecting a baby and one with a toddler, Ms. Payne tries to look at the bright side. “That’ll be the bonus,” she said. “I’ll be able to visit more often.”

    Ms. Payne lost her lease and found out suddenly that she had to vacate the premises by Oct. 1 for a new renter who was coming in.

    She didn’t want to talk about that — “I’m emotionally overwhelmed” — so instead she concentrated on the happy memories.

    “The school bus would stop right outside,” she said. “That was so great for a mother of four. The kids would run in and do their homework in the back.”

    All the kids have taken a turn at the deli as well. “Pumps was our second home,” said Nicole Payne. “We are sad to see it go because of all the memories and friends we have made there.” But, she added, “the book is not closed. We are just moving on to the next chapter.”

    Ms. Payne swore to herself growing up that “I would never, ever own a deli. I grew up in a deli and I knew how hard it was.” Her father, Fred Lutzen, ran Lutzen’s Restaurant in Wainscott and the Dutch Motel, but before that, when Ms. Payne was growing up, he had delicatessens in Massapequa and East Chester, N.Y.

    In a farewell letter to her customers, “who have become our friends,” Ms. Payne said, “We are so sorry to have to say goodbye. Like a huge neighborhood kitchen table, we’ve been a part of your weddings, graduations, baby showers, and watched your children go through school, off to college, and become young adults. We’ve been honored to share in the blood drives, Wounded Warrior project, Fisherman’s Fair, food pantry, senior citizens, and so very many wonderful benefits.”

    “Through our tears (which are many),” she wrote, “we thank all of you for your support and friendship over the past 16 years.”
