When we take a trip on the slow mov- ing headwaters, we end up right in the middle of Riverhead, just before the river flows under the road and on out into Flanders Bay. We had never traveled the other side, to the east, and so when we were given tickets for the new sightseeing paddlew- heeler, we looked forward to seeing this area. Ring -billed gulls milled about the nar- row river alongside the big municipal parking lot where we departed. Occa- sionally they dropped down into the wa- ter to pick up some morsel that suited their taste. Phragmites, that tall plume grass we see trying to take over almost every wet spot on the island, was faithfully filling its role along the shoreline. Most of the riverside east of the highway has been at some time or another manipulated by man, making it ideal for the invasion of this pesky, non- productive plant. Only a fringe of the original thatch grass (Al- terniflora) held on to its tenuous foo- thold along the edge. Soon we were passing under the bridge where Route 105 connects the north and south shore, and like most bridges it had its collection of wild pig - eons roasting in its understructure. A family of swan moved gracefully along Volunteers Ea (Continued from Page 18) teers as we can work full- time," he says, adding that "quite a few have already made that commitment." "Mary is going to need drivers," he says, referring to his aunt, Mary Spit- zer, the woman who recruited him from New Jersey to take over when she moved up from her volunteer slot to a staff position and assumed responibil- ity for the myriad tasks that fall under the "hospitality" heading. A "hospitality center" set up under a tent in the parking lot of Nick & Toni's restaurant in East Hampton will cater to the needs of festival guests (film in- dustry people) and heavy - hitters (par- ticularly those who have paid $1,000 for tickets entitling them to participate in every last screening, seminar, party or panel discussion and to call themselves festival "Founders"). They will be greeted, oriented, driven, fed and re- freshed. In a separate category are the "spe- cial events," the series of parties, galas and get - togethers planned for the festi- val. "There will be parties virtually every night of the festival, breakfasts every morning," says Mr. Streeter. "That is going to be huge, requiring many, many volunteers."

Next in view was the county's Indian Island golf course. Here, years ago, was one of the largest black -crowned night heron colonies on Long Island. Today they are all gone. Besides the regular night herons that nested so prolifically there, I photographed the rarer yellow - crowned night heron that somehow seemed to put up with the squawking, moving, often odiferous young nesters that surrounded it. Halfway through our dinner, the boat took a gradual loop to the south close to Cedar Point where 30 or more cormor- ants rested along with an assortment of herring gulls, black - backed gulls and terns. Then the shoreline changed for there was a noticeable lack of homes. This was the vast county Hubbard Park that boasts of some of the finest wet- lands in the whole bay area. Now we were traveling along the Southampton side. In the distance, I could see the high moraine left from the glaciers which runs down the spine of the South Fork, and on one of the high spots I could see the already ancient military radar domes of the past. The sun sparkled as we headed westward. We passed green buoy 9 with its wob- bling antennae to keep gulls off and now started to see homes spotted along the shore. As the bay narrows, great mar- shes to the south take over, a haven for weary migrating waterfowl on their rn Film Credits crowds will be kept in line by a dozen pages from CBS. "They are volunteer- ing their time to do crowd control at the movie theater," notes Mr. Streeter. Muriel Greegan and Emile Sanzari, retirees who are quietly stuffing enve- lopes on this weekday morning in the midst of the maelstrom, will no doubt have less dramatic roles to play than the CBS pages once the festival actually gets under way — though no less exciting from their point of view. "You meet very Interesting people," says Ms. Greegan, an inveterate volun- teer who has made herself useful at LVIS function and Guild Hall recep- tion as well. for Mr. Sanzari, who taught English and drama in Paramus, New Jersey, where he also directed summer theater before retiring to East Hampton, it's the educational component of the festival that proved irresistible. He is delighted, he says, that there is to be a showcase for student films. "What a great opportunity for these kids to be able to show their stuff," he says. "So many of us have complained that our young people in this country donIt have avenues of exposure. Now, to and behold, here is a chance." "Who knows," ventures Ms. Greegan peeking out from behind her piles of en- velopes, stuffed, stacked and ready to go. "This could become Cannes." There are nobetterguardians oftheiryoung.: than parent swans. By now the young that were hatched last spring are almost as large as their parents. —Paul Stoutenburgh Photo. flight south along the Atlantic flyway: Now the river once again closed upon us and the tall phragmites grew right to the water's edge. We were seeing more and more of this year's mallard ducks' paddling in the shallows. They evidently came from nests in the area. Green backed herons stalked for killies and kingfishers flew off, chattering as they went. Four Seminars For Film Buffs The Hampton International Film Festival will present four seminars of special interest to film buffs over the weekend be- ginning October 22. Admission to each is $15. On Friday, October 22, at 11 a.m., the topic to be discussed by screenwriters Robert Mark Ka- men and Kevin Wade at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor will be "From Script to Screen: Who Writes the Movie ?" At 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Guild Hall will be the site for "An After- noon With ... An Overview of Ef- forts in Film Preservation," a seminar to be led by a celebrity whose name will not be an- nounced in advance. "High Hopes on a Low Budget: The Ins and Outs of Microbudget Filmmaking" is the title of Saturday's seminar at 11 a.m. Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor is the venue and the discussion will focus on the practicalities of making a low - budget movie. Pan- elists are Beth B, Tony Chan, Larry Meistritch, Christine Va- chon, Eric Schaeffer and Donal L. Ward; moderator is Ted Hope. On Sunday, October 24, the fi- nal seminar - -also at 11 a.m. at Bay Street Theatre —will explore how the female image has changed over time. Panelists for "Women in Film" are Jeanine Basinger, Judy Gerstel and Kath- leen Murphy. `* '•� i1: * �: Ai *' A.' 'rlhi iw � :w +� 4: 4f iii :w' i►'. y Marshaff K'ennefs h.
