This week, I'd like to take you on our first wild stormy evening walk along the bay. We had put on our rain gear for it was starting to spit a bit, and looking across the bay we could see showers blocking out the far shore. White caps rolled into the beach and churned the water into a murky turmoil that ran up on the beach, giving us a hard surface to walk on. It was starting to get dark as the grey clouds rolled in from the southwest. The newly- dampened sand was warm on our bare feet. The wind and spray didn't dampen the sand hoppers' activ- ity as they jumped up and out of sight before us as we moved along. These are nighttime feeders of the water's edge that feed on minute particles of detritus that wash up on the beach. Actually they are a form of crustacean and like the sand fleas that we see under water- logged boards and seaweed along the beach are seemingly always on the move. During the day these sand hoppers spend their time in tunnels and only emerge only during the evening hours. We can see their tunnel holes on the beach above the high tide mark. The holes you see below the high tide mark are usually made by air escaping from around small sand particles as the waves recede from the shore. There's nothing in them but air. We headed into the wind, an old trick I learned many years ago for it's a lot easier walking home with the wind at your back. It's something like sailing. It makes good sense to tack and do the hard work in the beginning and then take the easy ride home with the wind. Barbara's sharp eyes picked out something that had washed ashore: a soft jelly -like grape -sized cluster that it part of a large family called sea squirts. As the name implies, they often squirt out water when handled and did so as we picked them up. We took them back with us to put in a small aquarium we keep for just such occasions. Before we got back we had picked up the tail of a horseshoe crab, a few pieces of beach glass to be added to our collection and some driftwood that would be added to the fire we hoped was still going back at the cottage. We were glad we had the warmth of the fire when we returned, for the strong wind had found a way of forcing water inside our rain gear and chilling us Last Week's Solution ° °M°° © ©N ©EMME ©©°17°° BMMODM 0BMNM MENEM MM°° ©nun am MUMMOBUMBDMUnion E■■■ ®■M■■ BOMB Mullin MUMUMUM OMENS Won Buono ©DUMB ®M■■ ©U M13 NONE UMM O■■■■ MUM ©� ©O BMBUMD OOM ©0 U ®■■■■ °000 UOEM] ° °DO© OMEN 13UU M °MM© U13 °©oMM$U ®■■■®■.■■■®■■■■ BMODUU MM °0M Boo OM4l []HBO °UM M0 MM °unu IonnuM [30 ©0 an°oMO ®■■■■ °uD"DO°"oBo ©0 ©©© °DDB° ®■N■ °uM °Bu ®■■M■ B °MB MBMM © °"13000 ®■EN■ ° ©00 ®®M®■ WHO ©0 ©O©© ONE, MIMME MMMMM■MMMM■ H®®® ®■M■ ®N■■N WOMEN BONN OMEN M■■■ ®■■■M H■■■ R®■■ MEM■ME A■■■■ WMAI■■.

We filled the aquarium with some of the murky water of the bay and put the sea squirts in to watch them in action. There were two siphons on each soft round glob. Reading up on them, we found out that like many other creatures that are permanently anchored, they take in sea water in one siphon, take out nutrients and spit out the waste water through the other. They started to move right before us and pulsed like some great heart. The book calls this particular sea squirt a sea grape, a more appropriate name. They are hermaphrodites, simultane- ously male and female —quite a trick if you can do it. The eggs are self- fertilized or in some cases cross - fertilized, which- ever the currents of water dictate. The de of Bay young are like tiny tadpoles but with much longer tails. Sea squirts attach'' themselves to almost anything they can cling to, a piling, rocks, docks or boat bottoms, and are often broken loose dur- ing storms. Writing with the sea squirts in the aquarium before me, I was amazed to see the murky water become clearer and clearer until it was crystal clear and the activity slowed down. Evidently when the food is used up, the sea grapes rest. They had filtered the water right before me; when I think of the thou- sands of sea squirts and clams and mus- sels and other filter feeders working in our waters, their importance in the bay ecosystem becomes clear, so to speak. Chamber Pulls It Off By Katherine Hoover Iast Wednesday's concert by the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festi- val was an enjoyable occasion. The Au- gust 11 program, hastily stitched together after last- minute schedule col- lisions, was a hodgepodge of familiar works, light classics, and a couple of clinkers. The honored guest was the great Jean - Pierre Rampal, an inspira- tion to a generation of flutists and con- certgoers. The evening began with the omnipre- sent Pachelbel Canon," played for once with care and finesse by three ex- cellent violinists: Mark Peskanov, Adela Pena and Mayuki Fukuhara, ac- companied by Nathaniel Rosen, cello, John Feeney, bass, and Andre- Michel Schuh, piano. This was not a concert for historical performance purists. There was no harpsichord, so piano was used throughout; modem instruments, lush sounds, and thoroughly modern tempi and pitch prevailed. Personally, when music is well played, I don't need all the historically correct trappings. Next we heard the Telemann Quartet in D Minor, a piece whose every note is familiar and precious to legions of flu- tists, including yours truly. It is terrific fun both to play and to hear, and it was given a wonderful performance with verve, musicality and affection by M. Rampal, Marys Martin and violinist Pa- mela Frank, accompanied by Mr. Schuh and Mr. Rosen. Though the original in- strumentation calls for recorder and two flutes, substitution was a common Baroque practice, and a performance as charming as this is a lovely gift. In the 19th Century, the flute was con- sidered a light, or "salon" instrument, and most repertoire from the period re- flects this view by being overblown, vir- Katherine Hoover of Shinnecock Hills and New York is a composer and flutist and the recipient of a National Endow- ment Composer's Fellowship and many other grants, awards and commissions. tuosic and musically flimsy. This genre is usually confined to flutists' conven- tions, but every so often some escapes. The Doppler Hungarian Duettino for Two Flutes and Piano, opus 36, is a prime example of this "flute fluff': showy, athletic and totally shallow, it is —in my opinion —a dreadful piece. M. Rampal and Ms. Martin played lots of notes very fast, and the audience loved it. After intermission, the Mozart Flute Quartet in D., K 285, was given a solid performance by M. Rampal, Mr. Pes- kanov, Mr. Coletti and W. Rosen. These are fine players, and they provided us with a good reading and some lovely moments. Then the opening violinists, Peskanov, Fukuhara and Pena, returned with Mr. Coletti, Mr. Rosen, Mr. Feeney and Mr. Schuh for a performance of the "Sum- mer" concerto from "The Four Sea- sons" by Vivaldi. For many of us this was the highlight of the evening. The music was wonderful, and the players in top form; in particular Mr. Peska- nov, soloist and leader, who is a first - rate violinist and a major addition to, this festival. It was a romp, though I did miss harpsichord here. The last move-' ment went so fast that I wondered if I had been teleported to the Bridgehamp- ton Raceway —it was all very exciting. The final work was another, larger 19th century work for two flutes and pi- ano, this one by Kuhlau (known in his time as the "Beethoven of the flute "). This is a piece with more musical pre- tensions than the Doppler. However, next to some of the truly fine works on the program, this music's weaknesses are clear. We are reduced to enjoying perform- ers and rationalizing the music, and I, for one, don't buy it. This type of music should be sent back to the flute conven- tions and replaced by music of sub- stance, material worthy of the obvious talents of M. Rampal, Ms. Martin and company.
