Data Breaches Expose One Million Plus Be bugged about this. New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman this month reported a record number of data breaches for 2016, up a whopping 60 percent over 2015. Breaches exposed the personal information of an estimated 1.6 million New Yorkers and represent a three-fold increase over 2015 stats. Exposed information primarily consisted of social security numbers and financial account information, leading the AG to blame hacking and “inadvertent disclosure” as the top two culprits. “In 2016, New Yorkers were the victims of one of the highest data exposure rates in our state’s

us to guard against those who try to use our personal information for harm – as these breaches too often jeopardize the financial health of New Yorkers and cost the public and private sectors billions of dollars.” The Office of the Attorney General first began collecting information regarding exposure of personal data in 2005, after a provision added to New York State Business Law required businesses to report all security breaches of their computerized data systems containing private consumer information in a timely manner. In 2016, hacking accounted for more than 40 percent of data security breaches. It’s been the leading cause of breaches across the state since 2006. Last year employee negligence was a close second, at 37 percent. It’s comprised of a combination of inadvertent exposure of records, insider wrongdoing, and the loss of a device or media. How do you protect yourself? The AG offered several suggestions: • Create strong passwords for online accounts and update them frequently. Use different passwords for different accounts, especially for websites where you submit credit card or Social Security numbers. • Watch your credit and debit card statements and monitor them for unauthorized activity. Call your bank if you find something sketchy. • Never store passwords electronically. They can be stolen easily and give thieves all your sensitive information. If you go old school, and keep a written list of passwords, don’t leave it around where strangers can see. • Be wary of what you put on social media. Information such as birthdays, addresses, and phone numbers can be used by fraudsters to authenticate account information. Practice data minimization techniques. Don’t overshare. • Pay attention to what’s known as the “Threat Landscape.” Stay up to date on media reports of data security breaches and consumer advisories. If you think you’ve been the victim of a data breach, change all your usernames and passwords right away. For breaches involving credit card numbers, Social Security numbers and other sensitive numbers, create an Identity Theft Report by filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and printing your Identity Theft Continued on Page 39.

WHEN FOOD WAS LOVE
My son J.T. cooked our Sunday dinner last week and it was scrumptious. He slow roasted a marinated pork shoulder and served it with Cuban mojo sauce (lime, garlic, cumin, oregano, mint, olive oil) and made beer-braised balsamic lamb belly with puréed cauliflower. All five of my kids have turned out to be fantastic cooks. That makes me so happy because I think the best thing you can leave your children is a great love of food and the ability to cook a delicious meal. I would like to think it’s in the genes. It wasn’t until my family went from being dirt poor to scrambling up to the lowest rung of the middleclass ladder that we could afford to eat foods that were bad for us. Up until then there had been nothing but nutritious, delicious, simple food that cost pennies to prepare. The recipes came from Italy. They had never been written down but had been passed on from generation to generation. There was plenty of pasta covered with scrumptious sauces. The simplest, and my favorite, cost just about 15 cents per portion to
prepare. It was 10 cloves of garlic that had been simmered in olive oil until they were a mahogany brown. The oil was not virgin olive oil, since Italian families of the day demanded virginity from their daughters, not their olive oil. One or two anchovies were added to the hot oil and stirred until they had dissolved into tiny little salty flakes. A pinch of hot red pepper flakes was tossed into the skillet at the last minute and then the cooked spaghetti was added to the garlic oil skillet until all the flavors were infused in the pasta. A family of four had this treat for less than a dollar. In my old neighborhood, which was near Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay, we always had plenty of fresh, just-caught fish, sold by the fisherman who pulled it from the ocean and sold it from street to street. Chicken was bought at Lavote’s Chicken Market, where live chickens roamed at your feet as you picked them out. Their feed was corn without chemicals. Our bread was hard-crusted wheat. Silvercup and Tip Top were “American” breads and were too costly and too mushy. Our bread

came warm from a bakery that had its ovens in the back. Pa c k a g e d f o o d s w e r e t o o expensive, so the beans and lentils and vegetables that went into rich, tasty soups were all bought fresh and the soup made from scratch. We only drank black espresso in giant cups. It was freshly ground at Mazzola’s Coffee Store on Avenue U, because all the other brown coffees (from Maxwell House, etc.) were considered “American coffee,” and we didn’t eat or drink anything that was American. We only spoke Italian . . . we only ate Italian. Once, my mother, in a fit of rebellion, tried to make an instant Betty Crocker apple pie. My grandmother went wild. She put a curse on the pie and we all got sick to our stomachs when we ate it. My grandmother walked around with an “I told you so” look on her face for days. When I was 16 I introduced ketchup and mayonnaise to the family and they looked at me as though I had been captured by aliens. Recipes revolved around my grandmother’s hand. The spoon was not part of her recipe formula – her fingers were. “How much fresh parsley?” my mother would ask. “You know, half a handful,” my grandmother would reply. In my house, food was love. Good marks at school were greeted with a stone face and a mumbled, “Thassa nice.” A clean plate at the end of a meal was treated as a great accomplishment, worthy of a compliment. I’m glad my grandmother wasn’t alive to see the invention of the Ziploc Freezer Bag. It would have killed her. Keeping leftovers for more than a few hours was unheard

of in her world, and no food was frozen. Sunday’s leftover pasta became a frittata and was served cold and delicious as my school lunch the next day. Unlike today, we ate food – we never took pictures of it. If I had ever tried to take a picture of a meal in those days, my family would have had me committed to an insane asylum. Ask anyone you know about his or her childhood and a favorite food experience will be remembered in seconds. No one talks about food without smiling. Around the world, food is the great equalizer. That doesn’t include kale, of course, which is a crappy designer vegetable. Those of us who have homes or rent places on the East End are lucky. We live among some great farms where corn and tomatoes and potatoes and the freshest, most incredible vegetables grow in abundance. In the spring we pick ripe red strawberries and in the fall we pick sweet delicious apples. In the summer we drive past row upon row of some of the best corn grown anywhere in this country. Our ocean off Montauk yields tons of fish every day, and there are many great restaurants and food stores to make every meal you eat a great Hamptons memory. Since no one, including Hannibal Lecter, is modest about their culinary accomplishments, below you’ll find one of my favorite recipes . . . and if, after you taste it, you say, “The shmuck may not be able to write too well, but he sure can cook,” I will be happy.

Montauk St. Patrick’s Day Parade
The rain on the Montauk Friends of Erin St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday did not dampen anyone's spirits. Regional fire departments, police departments, and pipe bands paraded with local businesses, charitable organizations, politicians, educators, and fans to honor Montauk's own Eddie Ecker, the parade's 55th Grand Marshal. Eddie followed in the footsteps of his father, Edward Ecker, Sr., who was Grand Marshal in 1984, and his mother, Frances Ecker, who held the coveted title in 2009.

There was no massage offered there, nor at Gurney’s Inn before Cunningham came along. She’d tote her table to Gurney’s for appointments. One day, she chanced upon Horowitz poolside at the yacht club. “He saw my table and asked if I was a yoga teacher.” The two collaborated and found space upstairs from Leonard Ackerman’s law offices. The pair renovated rooms overlooking Main Street and The Body Shop was established in 1977. Horowitz went on to open

Patia Cunningham likes the idea of being at the frontier. In 1977, along with then-partner Alan Horowitz, she opened The Body Shop on Pantigo Road in East Hampton. It was the first yoga studio in the county, she believes, and definitely the first one on the East End. This year, Cunningham celebrates The Body Shop’s 40th anniversary. Challenging the frontier again decades later, Cunningham became the first certified yoga therapist in the country. Growing up in Westbury, she recalled, “I never thought I’d live on Long Island.” She’d just finished massage school and yoga teaching training in Manhattan when she

the Fitness Center, downstairs from where Citarella’s is now, in 1983. In 1994 Cunningham moved the shop to airy digs off Newtown Lane. She noted that she took her first yoga class in East Hampton in the same building all those years ago. The instructor? Jackie Jackson, who still teaches the practice hereabouts. Asked to articulate her favorite part of teaching yoga and what’s kept it fresh for her for almost half century, Cunningham said, “My favorite part is the effect it has on people. People come in looking one way, feeling one way. When the class is done, you see a change . . . with yoga therapy, even more so.” Yoga therapy takes the practice to a new level, she explained. In the old days, people would stop doing yoga when illness or injury occurred. “Then, they started coming because they have a problem,” Cunningham said. Yoga therapists work within

the confines of each individual student’s abilities. Cunningham noted that studies have revealed over 100 conditions that can be helped through yoga, and the list keeps growing. “It’s teaching people to fish, rather than feeding them,” she said. “I teach people to do their own yoga so they can go and do yoga anyplace and be safe. I meet the students where they are and take them where they want to go.” The practice has been around for centuries. In this country it’s gone through cycles of popularity, with a recent push towards “branding” different types of yoga and classes. The cycles and the notion of branding elicit a serene smile from Cunningham. “As more and more studios open, I’m free to work with the people who need me most.” “My daughter said . . . ‘If I was just seeing yoga now, I’d stay away.’ But she grew up with it and knows it’s a lot deeper than just mastering poses . . . a lot of people who are into yoga don’t know what it is.” Many modern classes focus solely on the physical aspect of the practice, with teachers often looking, Cunningham said, “to kick butt.” Instead, Cunningham sees the practice as geared towards healing bodies and figuring out an individual’s needs. “It’s about getting to know yourself,” she continued. “You can journey as much inside as you can go anywhere in the world – that’s the thing I love about yoga.” Her brand of yoga love has definitely struck a local chord. She’s had some clients ever since she started classes in the 70s. At 91, Nina Gibson says yoga keeps her going, according to Cunningham. Cunningham’s got a four-month-old granddaughter who does yoga in daycare. “She’s the youngest person I know doing yoga.” Perhaps she’s another member of the family fond of the frontier.

Shoppers will be thinking locally in Southampton Village tomorrow evening for the first “Stay Out Late-Starry Night” event. The Southampton Town Business Advisory Council’s Think Local Initiative has joined forces with Town Councilman Stan J.
Glinka, the Southampton Village Chamber of Commerce, Southampton Arts Center, East End Restaurant Week, and Union Cantina to present the event designed to promote shopping locally. The end goal is to encourage residents and visitors to shop so that the entire town can stay open later,
year-round. Participating businesses will stay open until at least 8 PM tomorrow night, some offering specials giveaways and discounts. Union Cantina will be offering live music and Happy Hour all night long. “I find it important to help promote community engagement initiatives such as this one, and to attract more people to our great local shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions,” said Union Cantina owner Ian Duke. “The Business Advisory Council has been working on the ‘Think Local’ initiative for some time and one of the items that kept coming up was promoting certain nights of the week that businesses within our Hamlets and Villages would stay open later, especially during the winter months,” said Councilman Glinka. “This pilot event in Southampton Village has had a very positive response from the local business community, with more than 20 businesses within the Village participating.” White’s Apothecary will be

There will also be mini La Mer facials happening from 6 to 8 PM. “We are hoping that by getting many retailers together to stay open on this one night during restaurant week we will draw people to Southampton Village to enjoy shopping, dining, and the events the Southampton Arts Center will have taking place that night,” said Shannon Willey, President of the Southampton Chamber of Commerce. The Southampton Arts Center will present a screening of Vincent Van Gogh - A New Way Of Seeing at 8 PM. The cost is $10.

MOW: OK For Now Locally By Kitty Merrill
With proposed cuts to an array of social programs, President Donald Trump’s draft budget sent waves of fear through administrators and recipients of such long-standing programs as Meals on Wheels. For now, it appears the local programs are safe. “We’re not concerned about losing funding,” Liz Dwyer, the director of senior services for
Southampton Town said this week. The town doesn’t receive its funding under grants poised for the chopping block. Instead, she explained, money trickles down from the feds to the state to the county to the town and, “along the way, each entity adds money.” Riverhead and Southold Towns are similarly funded, while East Hampton’s MOW program is entirely underwritten through
private donations. While Dwyer wasn’t worried about funding – yet – she’s found comments in support of slashing funds for home delivered meals for concerning. “Comments that Meals on Wheels is not providing value are not correct,” Dwyer said. “We certainly do provide value.” B e y o n d o f f e r i n g h e a l t h y, nutritious meals five days a week at a suggested donation of

$3.50 a meal to some 175 seniors in Southampton, the program provides the additional benefit of daily socialization for seniors and much-needed safety checks. “We’ve had many instances where our drivers found people who have fallen, or were unable to respond,” Dwyer informed. “We’re definitely getting a bad rap from somebody who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. This is a vital service.” Following the budget’s release, the national organization, Meals on Wheels of America, released a statement sounding the alarm. Portions of the President’s Budget that have been released so far call for the elimination of a number of federal programs, including the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Ellie Hollander, President and CEO Meals on Wheels America noted. Nutrition programs in some parts of the country rely on that funding. “Details on our network’s primary source of funding, the Older Americans Act, which has supported senior nutrition programs for 45 years, have not yet been released,” the statement continues. “This vital Act provides 35% of the total funding for Meals o n Wh e e l s (b o t h c o n g re g at e and home-delivered programs) nationally. With a stated 17.9% cut to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) budget, however, it is difficult to imagine a scenario in which these critical services would not be significantly and negatively impacted if enacted into law.” The organization is able to provide Meals on Wheels for an entire year for roughly the same cost of an average one-day stay in the hospital or 10 days in a nursing home, Hollander pointed out. The State of Senior Hunger in American 2014 report found one in six seniors might not know where their next meal is coming from while one in four lives in isolation. Fo l l o w i n g t h e r e d f l a g s , Congressman Lee Zeldin’s spokesperson Jennifer DiSiena responded to requests for comments about the budget and Meals on Wheels in particular. “The President’s budget request is just that: a request. It has no force of law or legislation . . . Meals on Wheels is not directly targeted in the President’s budget policy statement. However, the statement does zero out funding for the Community Development Block Grant, which does provide some funding for Meals on Wheels. Congressman Zeldin does not support cuts to important senior nutrition programs in our area.”

East End Braces For Southern Pine Beetles
By Rick Murphy
W h e n S o u t h a m p t o n To w n allocated almost $500,000 to fight the spread of the southern pine beetle last week, it may have embarked on a life and death fight. Though the insect began to appear sporadically on the East End in 2014, the numbers are now multiplying, and the potential for devastation cannot be underestimated. Entomologists at the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture
called the beetle, “the most destructive forest insect in the southern US” and warned the insects can take down previously healthy trees in two to four months. Outbreaks can last up to four years. Entomologists at the university previously thought Kentucky was “at the northern extreme of the SPB’s geographical range.” But the beetles confounded experts by migrating north in recent years as their tolerance to cold apparently

grew. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation the beetles first settled in the New Jersey Pinelands and thrived there before making their way farther north. Infested trees in New York were found in October, 2014, in Suffolk County, most noticeably in the Pine Barrens west of Riverhead. DEC officials theorized the beetles “most likely colonized Long Island from
the New Jersey Pinelands where they has been very abundant in recent years.” Suffolk was the only county in New York State to be infested at the time, but since then beetles have been found in small numbers in several upstate areas. “SPB is widespread throughout Suffolk County, but the largest infestations are located in Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge, Continued on Page 15.

Opposition Growing To Proposed Wind Farm
By Rick Murphy
Fishermen and some environmentalists are becoming more vocal about their opposition to the proposed South Fork Wind Project. When completed it promises to provide 90 megawatts of energy, which will be generated by 15 wind turbines located 30 miles off the Montauk coast. The project is one of several off the Atlantic Coast proposed by Deepwater Wind. A similar project near Rhode Island is nearing completion. In the forefront of the opposition are local fishermen who fear the project will bring irreparable harm to the already-vulnerable fishing
industry. “It will degrade an important environmental habitat,” said Captain Julie Evans, a commercial fisherwoman who once ran the Day Breaker along with her late husband Mike Brumm. She said the pounding noise during construction and the drilling will, “disturb critters on the ocean floor and juvenile fish and destroy the cod on Coxes Ledge.” Larry Penny, the former East Hampton Town Director of Natural Resources, said this week that whales, dolphins, and fish that communicate with their gills could be adversely affected by the noise the generators make. And the generators are loud. “They will have to be drilled deep

into the sediment at the bottom of the ocean,” Penny said. “It’s a lot of work. They are like oil rigs, and this is just the beginning – they are going to build a ton of them.” Penny said there is an abundant bird population in the near-Atlantic and there haven’t been sufficient studies to gauge the full affect the wind generators will have on seabirds. “Birds like gannets, terns and albatrosses will fly into the [blades] and disappear forever, so we’ll never know how many will die,” Penny said. The project will likely be a hot potato in the coming town election. Republican critics point out that the cable will have to run from the wind

There have been no bird studies. We’ve spent a lot of time listening to the fisherman,” said Paul Giardina, who is running for the East Hampton Town Board on the GOP ticket. The project has already been awarded to Deepwater Wind, he noted. “We want competition to enter into the equation. We’d like to see a site plan. They’re going to dredge the ocean bottom and run a 30-mile long line up to Buell Lane.” Meanwhile, eight U.S. Congressmen from coastal states have signed a letter to the Bureau of Ocean Management (BOEM) asking that agency to “reconsider the unsolicited bid process for wind leasing.” The signees include Lee Zeldin of Long Island. However, Jeffrey Grybowski, Chief Executive Officer of Deepwater, said in an interview Friday the South Fork Wind Project is going through the approval process favored by the congressmen who wrote the letter. The full interview with Grybowski is elsewhere in this section. “South Fork Wind Farm will help the State of New York meet its renewable energy goals and avoid the need for costly new energy infrastructure on the East End of Long Island,” Deepwater posted on its website. “It will be located ‘over the horizon’ 30 miles off the coast of Montauk and will generate enough clean, cost-effective energy to power more than 50,000 homes on Long Island’s South Fork.” Deepwater Wind leased more than 160,000 acres of ocean bottom from the BOEM in 2013 for $3.8 million. Eventually company officials envision a vast network, hundreds of wind generators that could service a half-million homes.

An infected tree.
Beetles
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13. Connetquot River State Park, Hubbard County Park, and in East Quogue,“ according to the DEC. The only way to stop the spread of the insects is to cut down infected trees, a prospect that worries Southampton Town officials and raises a red flag throughout Suffolk County. The local Pine Barrens are in immediate jeopardy. S o u t h a m p t o n To w n C h i e f Environmental Analyst Marty Shea told the Southampton Town Board, “Once a tree is infested, it’s going to die.” The town will recoup about half the funds it puts up by obtaining grant money from the DEC. The U.S. Forest Service has been fighting to control the beetle for years at different locales. From 1999 to 2002, an outbreak of the beetle in the southeastern U.S. resulted in more than $1 billion in losses for the timber industry, according to the Forest Service. “The beetle can persist for years at very low numbers, sometimes going unnoticed,” according to the DEC. According to the Long Island Arboricultural Association, the adult beetle enters the tree through crevices in the bark and then creates S-shaped tunnels just beneath the bark. This disrupts the flow of nutrients. “Most trees resist the
initial attacks by secreting resin that can ‘pitch out’ some adults and slow the entry of others, but trees almost always die as their defenses are overwhelmed by thousands of attacking beetles,” according to an LIAA study. The only way to stop the spread of the insects is to cut down infected trees. “Cutting infested trees in early winter can reduce the SPB population by killing the brood overwintering within the tree,” the DEC advises. “Additional cuts made to the tree after it is on the ground causes the bark to loosen, exposing the overwintering beetles to cold temperatures and predators over time.” The Core Preservation Area of the Central Pine Barrens is located above Long Island’s sole-source aquifer, or groundwater, protecting Suffolk County’s only supply of clean drinking water. Homeowners who spot infested trees should contact the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County and contact a certified arborist for a consultation. Infested trees may have clumps of resin or shotgun pattern holes on the exterior of the bark. S-shaped tunnels under the bark could be visible, as well as reddish brown needles on pine trees. The DEC Forest Health Information Line can be reached by calling 1-866-640-0652.

Ambulance personnel took Marcelino to East Hampton Airport then called for a medevac to transport the accused to Stony Brook University Hospital. He is to answer the DWI charge on April 13.
Innocent Steve Lee, the former manager of Poxabogue Golf Center, was acquitted Thursday of charges that he took a picture of a female customer without her permission at the golf club in 2015. The subject, who was 16 at the time, did not know Lee had taken her picture from behind a one-way mirror. Police said at the time the picture was “inappropriate.” However, a jury found Lee innocent of the charge of Second Degree Unlawful Surveillance, a second-degree felony in Suffolk County Court. A Bad Year Things keep getting worse for Jefferson Eames. Eames, 48, has been accused of running illegal parties at his Spring Banks Road residence during which underage teens take drugs and drink, according to East Hampton Town Police.

And although the Deepwater website predicts the South Fork Project will begin in 2019 the CEO said Friday construction “is at least four years away. No work will be done until the review is completed.” Once completed a cable will carry the power to shore and it will be hooked to a LIPA substation via an underground cable.

Mary Wilson Of The Supremes By Jessica Mackin-Cipro Mary Wilson, the original and founding member of the legendary Motown group The Supremes, is scheduled to perform a set that includes Supremes songs at the historic Suffolk Theater in Riverhead on Saturday. One of the greatest vocal groups of all time, arguably setting the blueprint for nearly all girl groups that followed, The Supremes were one of the shining stars of Motown Records in the label’s heyday of the 1960s. During the mid-60s, The Supremes achieved mainstream success with Diana Ross as lead singer. Their number one chart topping hits include “Where Did Our Love Go,” “Baby Love,” “Come See About Me,” “Stop in the Name of Love,” and “Back in My Arms Again.” At the time they were the only group to have five consecutive number one hits. By 1970, Diana Ross’ departure from The Supremes left Wilson as the only original member. Wilson continued performing with Cindy Birdsong and Jean Terrell as the “New” Supremes, better known today as The “70’s Supremes.” Following Wilson’s
own departure in 1977, the group disbanded. Supremes songs “Stop! In the Name of Love” and “You Can’t Hurry Love” are among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 songs that shaped rock and roll. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1994, and entered into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2004, Rolling Stone placed The Supremes at number 97 on their list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” Following Wilson’s career with The Supremes she released three solo albums, five singles, and two bestselling autobiographies, Dreamgirl: My Life As a Supreme and Supreme Faith: Someday We’ll Be Together. Continuing a successful career as a concert performer, Wilson is a musicians’ rights activist as well as a musical theater performer and organizer of various museum displays of the Supremes’ famed costumes. Tickets start at $55. Show starts at 8 PM and doors open at 6:30 PM. For tickets and more info visit www. suffolktheater.com.

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

more but enjoying it less? It is time to reschedule your priorities. Don’t let the stress get to you. It is a great time to stop smoking or start that diet.
On Tuesday, Mercury, our planet of communication, enters Taurus. We can expect our conversations to be calmer and careful. On Saturday, Venus, the planet which rules love and money, re-enters the dreamy, creative sign of Pisces. We can also get a little blue, sentimental or nostalgic.
LEO (7/22 - 8/23) Decisions around children can come up this week. It might be time to start your own business or cultivate that hobby. If a promotion at work is offered, make sure that the money is there too.
ARIES (3/20 - 4/20) All practical matters need attention. If you want to change your job, now is the time to redo that resume or do your research. Perhaps a quick course in skills can boost your confidence.
VIRGO (8/23 - 9/22) Changes within your home may start to happen. Whether it is renovations or a decision to sell your home, emotions swirl around. Issues with parents can also arise.
TAURUS (4/21 - 5/22) Love relationships can deepen, or if you are single, you may meet that person. Activities or thoughts surrounding children may take up some time.
LIBRA (9/23 - 10/22) The workplace can become quite busy and require your undivided attention. Don’t fret if your daily routine is momentarily disrupted. You can handle it with style and grace.
GEMINI (5/23 - 6/22) It’s time to make corrections to your budget. If thinking of moving, it is also time to get the house in shape. You must take time to relax or face the consequences. CANCER (6/23 - 7/22) Working
SCORPIO (10/23 - 11/21) If you review your budget, you can limit unnecessary spending and feel more secure. Those who have been taking advantage of you will be in for a big shock.
www.indyeastend.com
SAGITTARIUS (11/22 - 12/21) If feeling blocked or tired, do not be too hard on yourself. Saturn, the planet of restrictions, is in your sign helping you eliminate all that is no longer useful. It will pass. CAPRICORN (12/22 - 1/20) Whatever doesn’t make sense or isn’t practical at this time should be avoided. Is someone being less than truthful with you? You may need some time to yourself to sort things out. AQUARIUS (1/21 - 2/19) All your hard work will be paying off later in the year. Don’t lose faith as some friends come and some friends go. There can be someone in your circle

who is envious. PISCES (2/19 - 3/20) Everyday routines may be disrupted by unexpected changes. Stay cool and don’t sweat the little things. Old emotions can resurface. JOANNE WOLFF is a CERTIFIED ASTROLOGER who helps her clients to understand the way the planets work in their individual charts. She is available for private readings (either in person or by phone) as well as private parties and charity events. Joanne also teaches astrology. Reach her by calling 516-996-5354. (Text too!)

Independent Dining Shrimp And Grits With Andouille Sausage Ingredients (serves 4) 1 lb. of shrimp peeled, cleaned, and meat diced (keep the shells) 1 c stone ground grits 12 oz Andouille sausage (large dice) 1 tbsp tomato paste ½ can crushed tomatoes 2 gallons water 1 bunch of scallion (sliced) 2 shallots minced 1 carrot (rough chop) 2 stalks celery (rough chop) 1 white onion (rough chop) 1 bay leaf
½ bunch of thyme ½ c white cheddar (grated) ½ c aged parmesan (grated) ½ lb. butter ½ c white wine ½ bunch cilantro 1 tbsp olive oil Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Begin by bringing one gallon of water to a boil. Add a bit of salt and the minced shallot to the water. Once it begins to boil, use a whisk to stir the water while slowly adding the cup of
grits to the boiling water. Once you have added all the grits reduce your heat to a simmer while continuing to stir for another minute or so. Cover the grits and cook over medium low heat for another hour whisking every 10 minutes. While the grits are slowly cooking, make the shrimp stock for the sauce. Start by roasting the shrimp shells in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes. Fill a small stockpot with the roasted shrimp shells, one gallon of water, the tomato paste, the crushed tomatoes, the carrots, scallions, celery, onion, bay leaf and thyme. Bring that to a boil, then reduce and allow the stock to simmer another hour. Once the stock is going and you have the grits cooking you can grate your cheeses and dice the sausage and shrimp. When the grits are ready, you can shut off the heat completely and whisk in the cheese, a 1/4 lb of butter, and any salt and
pepper you would like to add. Put a lid on it and set it aside until you are ready to serve. When the stock is finished, strain it through a fine strainer and set aside. Next, heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil and then begin to crisp the diced andouille. When the sausage has seared and released a bit of fat, deglaze the pan with the white wine. Cook out the alcohol for about 45 seconds, then add the stock and allow the ingredients to simmer together for about 15 minutes. Add a bit of butter until the sauce is thickened to your liking. Right before ser ving, add the shrimp and stir them in the sauce for about three minutes, as they will cook fast. To serve, spoon equal portions of grits into four bowls, then ladle sauce over top and garnish with some chopped cilantro.

By Rick Murphy
RICK’S SPACE Johnny Be Goode I’m not one for eulogies but the fascinating life of the great Chuck Berry deserves as much ink as it can get. I did get my five minutes with him. He actually played in Sag Harbor, at Bay Street Theater, sometime in the late-eighties if memory serves. Keep in mind I don’t even remember the 1980s, so I’m not really sure. My pal Ernie Harris played bass for Berry. I don’t mean on a regular basis – he had never laid eyes on Berry until around 2 PM the day of the Sag Harbor show. It seems Chuck traveled alone but played with a band. The promoters assumed as much when they booked him but “the band” turned out to be anyone he could round up on short notice. It was not unusual for Berry to have a high school drummer one night or a piano teacher or some guy from the local community band. If by chance he would end up with someone he didn’t like – maybe someone was showing off, or someone who was completely incompetent -- Berry would replace him mid-show. He would literally ask if there were any drummers or piano players in the audience, pick one, and fire the other guy on the spot. He wouldn’t pay them much, if at all. Ernie wasn’t just any bass player. He was damn good, very sophisticated, and personable on stage and off. Still, Berry informed him, there was only one star of the show, and it wasn’t Ernie. When Berry came out he played all the hits with Ernie and a local drummer and keyboard player whose names escape me now. Ernie played it straight, running through the 12 bar blues baselines in their simplest form. The only words Chuck would say to the band members were, “This one’s in B-flat,” or whatever it was. I went backstage to say hello before the show. Berry was cold and dismissive. I should point out I wasn’t a teenage girl, because they seemed to get all of old Chuck’s attention. Truth was Berry was an ugly soul, and not very well liked by people in the industry. But everyone acknowledged his unmistakable greatness. I fear some people today don’t realize how talented Berry was.
His guitar riffs literally invented an entire genre of music, and his songs were often compelling and/or amusing tales that told real stories with precise lyrical phrasing. I’m a cruddy guitar player, and much too spastic to play the intricate riffs that became his trademark. But I was compelled, on the day he died, to try and learn the opening riff to “Johnny Be Goode,” perhaps the greatest rock song ever
www.indyeastend.com
recorded. And by the way, whether you are 10 year-old or 100 you’ve heard the riff a million times in a million other songs. No guitarist on earth has ever reconfigured or regurgitated it enough to dare claim it as his own. It’s Chuck’s riff. Ernie was found dead in a parked car one morning a few years later after playing a late night gig in Bridgehampton, probably overcome by the heat. He did have one shining moment playing with Chaka Kahn at Bay Street and word was he was so good she thought about hiring him. We’ll never know. Me? I don’t think Clapton will be calling any time soon, but it’s coming along – ever so slowly. My clunky fingers are reluctantly learning the bends and rhythms of the riff, one note at as time. It’s a labor of love. It’s hard to believe a

mere mortal conceived it. Berr y was not an educated man. In fact, he went to jail for grand theft auto before finishing high school. He was sent to jail again for violating the Mann Act — transporting a 14 year-old girl across state lines. New York Times music critic Jon Pareles said it best: “While Elvis Presley was rock’s first pop star and teenage heartthrob, Mr. Berry was its master theorist and conceptual genius, the songwriter who understood what the kids wanted before they knew themselves. And tucked into the lighthearted, telegraphic narratives that he sang with such clear enunciation was a sly defiance, upending convention to claim the pleasures of the moment.” He wasn’t a very nice guy, but he could literally play the guitar like he was ringing a bell.
FREE Duct Work Inspection If you can’t remember the last time your ducts were cleaned, you are probably overdue.
We recommend a detailed inspection using digital cameras. There is NO cost for the inspection. It takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
Call 631-324-0142 for an appointment. Why this is IMPORTANT to do now: Accumulated dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens can directly affect the quality of your indoor air. It’s wise to clean your ducts regularly to avoid any allergies or breathing problems that may arise. We are happy to perform the inspection for free. And should it be necessary to clean your ducts, you’ll receive a 5-percent discount if you schedule a cleaning within the next 30 days. Sincerely, Schenck Fuels Services

The show is modeled after a world famous event held at the Royal College of Art in London where students, professional artists, and designers such as Christo, Damien Hirst, and Manolo Blahnik create unique postcardsized artworks to be exhibited and sold anonymously side by side.

Two 6th grade singers, Ava Arcoleo and Sierra Brown, and two 9th grade singers, Reghan Anderson and Wells Woolcott, from East Hampton were selected out of 5000 applicants to participate in the 2017 National ACDA Honor Choir. The students spent five days in Minneapolis, MN rehearsing with world renowned choral conductors and the best student singers from each of the 50 states. There were only a total of 30 singers chosen from NY State, so to have four of them from East Hampton is an incredible honor. The week culminated with two Honor Choir concerts performed for an audience of over 5000.
5x7 pieces of work using any medium two or three dimensional, including photography. These will be exhibited alongside the artwork created by the Springs School students at Ashawagh Hall for three days. Each piece will be displayed anonymously, with a signature hidden on the back, and sold for $20 each throughout the weekend,
culminating in a Closing Party and Live Auction. The ‘mystery’ artists will be revealed at the end of the exhibition where the art collectors will discover whether they have invested in a valuable piece of art from a well-known artist or a potential masterpiece from a student artists.

This week, we conclude our month-long Girl Power series, celebrating Women’s History month by honoring extraordinary women on the East End. We don’t want to stop highlighting the great and selfless works of the Twin Forks’ amazing people. Be sure to give us a call at 631-324-2500 and tell us about the fascinating and giving people in your neighborhood. We look forward to hearing from you. For now, let’s close out Women’s History month with select quotes about fabulous females, courtesy the website, brainyquote.com. A woman is like a tea bag - you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water ~ Eleanor Roosevelt. There are only three things women need in life: food, water, and compliments. ~ Chris Rock. If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman. ~ Margaret Thatcher. Any time women come together with a collective intention, it’s a powerful thing. Whether it’s sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards, or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens. ~ Phylicia Rashad. Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others. ~ Amelia Earhart. Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less. ~ Susan B. Anthony. I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves. ~ Mary Shelley. Let’s be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together. ~ Michelle Obama.

Parade Thanks
To The Editor, On behalf of the EH Republican Committee, I wish to thank Grand Marshal Ed Ecker (he knows Gordon Ryan) and the entire crew at the Montauk Friends of Erin for staging Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade and for allowing us to be part of the fun. In spite of the weather, our Candidates and Committee members had a blast. Our thanks again to the Friends and best wishes for many more successful Parades. REG CORNELIA CHAIR, EHTRC
Year-Round April Fools’ Day Dear Editor, This coming April Fools’ Day can remind us that the meat, egg, and dairy industries have been playing us for fools year-round. Their more remarkable hoaxes include “California’s happy cows,” “free-range chickens,” and “humane slaughter.” All cruel lies. Less amusing is the stuff they never talk about. Like the millions of male baby chicks ground up alive or suffocated slowly in plastic garbage bags because they don’t lay eggs. Or the millions of hens crammed seven to a small wire-mesh cage, unable to move or spread their wings. Or breeding sows locked in metal crates, as their babies are castrated without anesthesia.
Ed Gifford In the spirit of year-round April Fools’ Day, the meat industry has developed a whole dictionary designed to fool unwary consumers. Those filthy cesspools of animal waste that overflow into our drinking water supplies and poison downwind neighbors with putrid odors? They call them “lagoons.” And to make sure that kids don’t confuse pig flesh on
Is it just me? I’ll have to watch the games all weekend. It’s the Final Four.
their plate with “Babe” or “Wilbur,” they call it “pork.” But, their fooling days are about done. Many of us are replacing animal meat, as well as dairy milk, cheese, and ice cream, with healthier nut and grain-based products available in every grocery store. EDWIN HORATH Continued on Page 36. © Karen Fredericks
So . . . no more games after that?
Not until next week when baseball season begins.
It’s the final hundred and sixty-two.

It was the sixth year of the Farmers Market that from the start generated funds for the pantry. The Montauk Food Pantry provides emergency food each month November through April. The Farmers Market on the Green begins June 8 and runs through Sept 29, 2017.

Linda Bickley Not at all. The conservatives were really dug in. What was being offered as a replacement seemed like Obamacare Lite and they wanted to do what was promised to the voters, which was to deliver a plan that was less expensive and without the same mandates. Miguel Morales I was surprised. I thought the proposed plan had many improvements in it and then, Congress said no, anyway.
Jorgé Gonzales I was not at all surprised because I had faith that they would keep it ongoing. What were we going to do if so many people ended up with no insurance at all? It was a good decision.
Infinite Love To The Independent, The Love Boat of humanity, the cruise ship of the pulse of all things, is in dangerous, shallow water. Materialism, of error of perception, must yield at this time to the spiritual sense of self. I lead from the rear. The fulfillment of our karmic meets with eternal and infinite love. ANTHONY J. COLLETTI

Ingrid Madera It was clear from the beginning it would never pass. It was because it was a divided Congress that wasn’t going to pass the repeal, and it was also clear that the solution was poorly planned. In fact there was no real replacement plan that made any sense at all.

Director’s Lecture Southold Historical Society’s Director’s Lecture series continues Saturday. At 2 PM at the Community Center at Peconic Landing (simulcast to Southold Free Library), Dr. Joanne Grasso will give a talk based on her book, The American Revolution on Long Island. The American Revolution sharply divided families and towns on Long Island. Washington’s defeat at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776 started seven years of British occupation. Patriot sympathizers were subject to loyalty oaths, theft of property and the quartering of soldiers in their homes. Those who opposed the British were jailed on prison ships in Wallabout Bay in Brooklyn. Some fought back with acts of sabotage and espionage. In her book, Dr. Grasso explores the story of an island at war.

Memorial For Ken Robbins A memorial celebration for renowned Springs photographer Ken Robbins, who died on March 9 at home, has been scheduled. Family and loved ones may gather to honor him on April 17 from 4 to 6:30 PM at Ashawagh Hall in Springs. A resident of The Hamptons since the 1970s, Robbins turned his lens to the idyllic scenery of the region, sometimes hand coloring images, as in his book The Hamptons Suite, or digitally-enhancing them with 100 Views of the Hamptons. In a 2006 interview, he told The Independent, “By manipulating the photograph, you get the essence of a place that isn’t so literal. I want to reflect how people remember it, a mood people carry away from a moment or a particular scene.” Robbins’s first professional darkroom was located upstairs from the Old Post Office Theater. Back in the ‘70s he and his wife, Maria, along with another couple purchased and ran the theater on Newtown Lane in East Hampton Village for about three years. He told Indy that he discovered the power of working on the computer while scanning photographs for Hamptons Suite. For subsequent work, Robbins decided to “skip the darkroom part and hand color on the computer.”

try this - you have to be almost perfect to finish first. If you must punt a category make it Saves, which is the most volatile. Many of the Closers at the beginning of the season will lose their job by the time the season is over. It makes sense to target their back-ups (called handcuffs) who can help you in the WHIP and ERA categories. They will also record a few wins and saves even if they aren’t named to close out games. As in all Fantasy Sports, the trick is to identify players who are poised to have a good season, players you can take later in your drafts. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Let’s say a 25 year-old rookie gets brought up to the big leagues and does well: think Gary Sanchez. Everyone is going to make the same assumption – which is that he will get better. That means in many instances he won’t be a bargain on draft day. I prefer seasoned veterans who fought through injuries and had an off-season. Most of these guys are old school gamers who play every day even if they are hurt. Chances are they will come back the next season and play up to their usual level. A guy like Matt Holiday is a great example. He’s been doing it for 15 years but he was hurt last season. You should be able to snag him on the cheap. In Auction Leagues every owner
bids on every player, and the highest bid gets that player. There are two strategies employed. The most popular is called Studs and Duds. Players bid top dollar to get the best players, and fill their rosters up with mediocre players as the draft progresses. Once again, it is essential to understand how your draft is unfolding - if a lot of teams are going for the Studs, you’ll be able to cherry pick a lot of good players for less than their real value if you are patient. The other strategy is to rank your players by dollar value, usually with the help of a professional stat service, and try to pick up bargains

along the way without overpaying for any player. As usual, your chances of winning hinge on your ability to get players for less than they are worth. Never pick a player because you like him, because he is on your favorite team, because your girlfriend thinks he’s cute (don’t ask) or because his cousin is from your hometown. Remember, the team you end up with on draft day isn’t the team you end the season with. You’ll be making trades and making waiver wire moves that will hopefully improve your team. Good Luck!

Play Bridge Although this is a somewhat fictional hand, I was dealt one very similar to this recently. Needless to say, I was distressed to see the dummy’s anemic spade suit opposite mine, which was even more anemic. My first observation was that I needed a 3-2 spade break to have any chance of making the contract. The opponent who had two trumps had to have them fall when trumps were led twice. After winning the first trick with the ace of hearts, I led a low trump. East won and led a heart, which I trumped in the dummy. Then I led another trump and was relieved to see both defenders follow. East led a diamond which I won in hand. I then led my other diamond to dummy’s ace and

Fantasy Baseball 101 It’s one week away! Time for our annual Fantasy Baseball Primer, which will get beginners headed on the right path. There are two main ways to draft your team - either a snake-style draft or an auction league. In a snake-style draft the order is selected at random and then reverses back at the end of each round. For example, the first pick in the first round will have the last in the second and the first in the third and so on. S t r a t e g y : O b v i o u s l y, t h e superstars will go in the first round. Don’t overthink – take the best available player. Most leagues are either eight or ten category. In eight category leagues Batting Average, Home Runs, Runs Batted In, Stolen Bases, Wins, Earned Run Average, Saves and WHIP (walks plus hits over nine innings) are the focus. In 10 category leagues Strikeouts and either Runs or On Base Percentage are added. As you go through your draft, pay attention to your needs. If you ignore pitching in the first four or five rounds, for example, it will be impossible to catch up, especially if Strikeouts is a category. Some analysts suggest what is known as a Punt Strategy, which is to ignore one category in favor of the others - in other words, prepare to finish at the bottom of one category but at or near the top in all the others. We suggest that you never

continued with my other three diamonds. No matter when East used his third trump, I could discard my three losing clubs on the good diamonds. Whenever East won his trump, I still had the king of clubs to enter dummy to play the wining diamonds. Despite my meager trump holding, I was able to win ten tricks.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard
Cheap(er) Boating! There’s an old chestnut that the two happiest days of a boater’s life is buying a boat and selling a boat. What can you do about keeping those two days as far apart as possible? This column is about that.
For Starters First, never compromise safety for dollars. The sea, as I keep reminding you, is a hostile environment. It makes no sense to scrimp on safety gear or on the boat’s inherent seakeeping abilities. With that said, there is no sense being on a boat if you aren’t having fun. So, before we start, safety and fun are the two unalterable goals of the exercise. If you are contemplating buying a boat as we head towards the “high season,” be sure you buy just enough boat – and no more. There are some real bargains out there in marinas, boat show rooms and the Internet – and many of them are there because the skipper bought more boat than he needed and, subsequently, could afford. If the bays and creeks are your goals, you don’t need a 40’ boat, no matter how cheap it is priced. Big boats are just inherently more expensive to maintain. From bottom paint, to dockage charges, to just having more “stuff” aboard, it all adds up. And the fuel costs are not 2x for a 40’ boat versus a 20’ boat, they are likely to 4x (my guesstimate.) It just takes a lot more energy to move a
larger boat through the water.
Cheaper Vs Longer? On balance, longer wins. Cheapgrade vinyl “windows” for cockpit and flybridge enclosures will soon discolor and crack. I’ve used higher grade Strataglass in the past and it lasted much longer, saving lots of money in the long run. I’m wary of “discount” motor oils. While you may still change the oil each season, which makes the brand oil seem more expensive, I wonder what is going on with the engine that the oil is protecting. DIY – Do It Yourself The more maintenance and repair work you can do well yourself, the more you’ll save. But know your limits. Certain things should be left to trained professionals. Tackling these projects is asking for trouble and big expenditures. Examples might include working on electronics, refrigeration, and repairs inside the engine – that that cheap oil may have precipitated. Things that many can do or can learn to do include engine repair. Remember, these are car engines modified for a maritime environment – and didn’t you tinker with the car engine when you were younger? Many maintenance items can be managed by the weekend mechanic - such as changing an impeller, a raw water pump, a thermostat

and alternator. Starting problems may need no more than a cleaning of battery terminals. Changing a solenoid, replacing bilge pumps, inspecting connections and perhaps adjustments, and repair of deck and plumbing leaks are not outside your consideration. Be a student of the game. Go to seminars at boat shows. Read boating magazines and invest in marine how-to books. The right tools are better than money in the bank. They may be expensive, but if you use them well they can save you a fortune. Avoid wearing out things unnecessarily fast. Use good chafing gear to avoid abrasion, which can

ruin a line in one blow. Good chafing gear (old garden hose wears like iron) is very inexpensive and can save big bucks. The boat itself will wear out faster if you drive it hard and fast. And you’ll save a LOT of money if you throttle her back. And don’t forget your insurance. Do you have what you need and no more? All food for thought. BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources Department, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing.”
