State To Overrule Uber ‘Ban’ By Kitty Merrill
You could call East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell “Uber irked.” State ride sharing legislation unveiled by Governor Andrew Cuomo, if passed by the legislature this week, will tank East Hampton’s de facto ban of such services as Uber and Lyft. The new law would take all regulation of services such as Uber out of the hands of local municipalities, and place them under state jurisdiction. “I’m frustrated that the deal that’s been made hasn’t taken into consideration any of the concerns we have,” Cantwell said Monday. Town officials wrote Gov. Cuomo a year ago, laying out the problems with adding ride share cars to already congested roads and parking lots. They offered suggestions to help mitigate the situation. Cantwell said there’s “no evidence” any of East Hampton’s input was considered. The law, he said, “Just created a double standard,” freeing Uber drivers from a host of hurdles cabbies and taxi companies must clear if they want to operate in
New state legislation, if approved, could bring Uber back to East Hampton.

In East Hampton, the license costs $750 and comes with requirements for inspections, background checks for drivers, mandatory rate sheet display, and more. Last fall the town added a provision to its taxi legislation prohibiting cabs from parking in any public spot for longer than 15 minutes. There had been complaints about cabs leaving cars overnight in public lots. None of those regs will apply to Uber. East Hampton Town did not officially ban Uber and its ilk in 2015. Rather, town officials passed its so-called taxi legislation with a provision requiring a local office and a local address for any cab driver or company. Since Uber drivers are all basically subcontractors, the provision effectively barred their operation in East Hampton. Speaking of Cuomo’s new legislation, Cantwell said, “This is not about whether we have Uber or not. It’s about undermining our ability to handle the problem cabs and Uber create in places like Montauk.” The supervisor said the taxi legislation helped curtail rampant traffic and issues with out of town drivers coming out and sleeping in their cars on summer weekends. “We’ve made some progress, but this really cuts the knees out.”

A DIGITAL DUNCE IN PASSWORD HELL What’s your password? How many times a day are you asked to remember a password? G o o g l e , Ya h o o , A m a z o n , Facebook, AT&T, Apple, Netflix, every bank – everything in life now needs a password. I started out with a simple password, “winter,” which was the password I used for everything. This did not satisfy the password gods. Not enough letters . . . add a number . . . capitalize . . . The password gods and geeks are insatiable. Want to get on your own WiFi? You need a password. WHY? Why do
I care if Mr. and Mrs. Klapperstein, the nice old couple who live next door to me, use my WiFi? Maybe they can’t afford their own WiFi. I’m declaring war on passwords. From now on, if you want to access anything I have, use my password for everything: 1PaSSwordsSUck66 And here’s a true story about how a forgotten password messed up my life the other day when my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, managed the impossible. She managed to hack herself on Facebook. Let me repeat that: SHE HACKED HERSELF.

Let me explain. A week ago I sent an email to my children that read: “The two worst things that ever happened to this country: Donald Trump is president. And your mother has her first iPhone.” Judy is a brilliant woman. But she is an electronic nightmare — a digital dunce. Hold a television remote in front of her face and she reacts like Dracula when you show him a crucifix. Judy got her first iPhone last week and decided go on Facebook. Five years ago I spent an entire weekend setting her up with her own Facebook account. Judy spent one week reaching out to all her friends. At the end of the week she had 601 Facebook friends. She “friended” everyone, including, I believe, Charles Manson, O.J. Simpson and, from Facebook Argentina, Martin Bormann. Then, after one hectic week when she was on Facebook 24 hours a day, she stopped cold. She would never tell me why, but I always knew. She forgot her password and had no idea how to get a new one and was too proud to ask me for help. Now, this past weekend, armed with a new toy, she decided to put Facebook on her new iPhone. Naturally she couldn’t get into her old page without a password so, without telling me, she decided to sign up for a new Judy Licht Facebook page. When I found out, I pointed out in a rather loud voice (actually, it was something of a scream) that a new Judy Licht Facebook page would lose those 601 friends and hundreds of smiling photos, etc. She attempted to get back on the original Judy Licht Facebook page. This, it turns out, is impossible.

Facebook only seems to recognize her new, friendless, photoless page. Every time we attempted to go back to her original page, Facebook would bring us back to the latest, empty Judy Licht page. We tried over and over and over and finally Facebook told us that someone was hacking her page. Then Apple sent us an email to tell us that someone was hacking the Judy Licht phone and to answer them by having Judy enter her Apple password. N a t u r a l l y, J u d y c o u l d n ’ t remember her Apple password. Soon a few of our friends wrote me saying that someone was hacking Judy’s Facebook page. Next I expected the doorbell to ring and Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, to come barging into our home to make a citizen’s arrest. Facebook has met its match – Judy. It’s a mess. What will happen with Judy on her own iPhone? God knows. So if you get an email from Judy saying, “Hello, I’m calling on you because you’re our only hope. Jerry and I went on a vacation to visit the synagogues of Karachi, Pakistan, and on our last day someone broke into our room and stole our wallets, passports and identities. “We cannot get home unless you help. We are walking the streets of Karachi and we are hungr y. Please send $5000 to Amman Habib (a nice man who has befriended us) and I will pay you the minute I get back.” Don’t pay the money.

Upsculpting At The Arts Center By Kitty Merrill
If a critic deemed Cindy Pease Roe’s artwork “trash,” she’d probably smile. Because it kind of is. The Greenport artist collects beach debris to craft sculptures. This month she’s the artist in residence at the Southampton Arts Center, and community members can participate in the sculpture she’s creating. Tucked in a back room at the Job’s Lane, Southampton, center, Pease Roe is “upsculpting” a huge whale tail, using derelict lobster pots, tow rope and a steel armature welded per her design. Upsculpting is the art of combining “upcycling,” the reuse of discarded items to create items of higher value or quality than the original item, and sculpture to create environmentally sensitive art. The public was invited to come by and write a “message in a bottle” to be woven into the whale’s flukes last weekend. Community members may stop by Saturday from 1 to 3 PM to add their messages. Pease Roe selected little liquor bottles to serve as containers for the public’s messages because, “I find those on the beach all the time.” She unraveled heavy tow rope to help affix the bottles to sections of lobster pot reclaimed by Cornell Cooperative Extension. The pots are molded over a steel armature crafted by North Fork Welding. “Rope like is great to work with,” she said Sunday. It’s degraded by the sun and the sea and washes onto the beach, then back out into the Long Island Sound. As it degrades further, it breaks down into microplastics. The microplastics are eaten by fish and can eventually become part of the human food chain. Her sculpture, Pease Roe believes, is a way to talk about one of the many serious issues the ocean is facing. When the arts center approached her about working as artist in residence, Pease Roe had recently returned from a trip to China where she sculpted a large whale tail for a project focused on zero waste. She’d served as a guest artist for CCE and learned about its lobster trap project. “All of a sudden, the light bulb went off,” she recalled. She pitched the idea of a whale tail UpSculpt project here in Southampton and, she said, “They loved it.” Pease Roe has “always” been interested in environmental art. Formerly of Sagaponack, she moved to the North Fork about seven years ago. There she discovered a bounty of debris, predominantly plastic, on the beach. Because of the movement of tides and wind, more debris washes ashore from the Sound than one might see on the South Fork. But,
Pease Roe emphasized, “Just because you don’t see it on your beach doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist out there.” Just about every day Pease Roe walks her local beaches, the meanderings serving a two fold purpose: to clean the shoreline and to gather materials for her artwork. As more members of the community became aware of her dual passions, people began to bring items they found on the beach to her. “I’d show up at my studio and there’d be a big bag of marine debris someone dropped off.” Pease Roe’s upsculpted Whale Tail will be officially unveiled on April 22 at a free Earth Day celebration. Check upcoming editions of The Independent to learn all about events and participants expected at the Southampton Arts Center event.

Police Rescue Fire Victim By Kitty Merrill
S o u t h a m p t o n To w n Po l i c e personnel rescued a woman and one of her two dogs late Thursday night, as a fire consumed a dwelling in Hampton Bays. It was just before 11 PM when police were alerted to a blaze on Springville Road. STPD Detective Tim Wilson and Police Officer Christopher Florea deployed to the scene. Wilson arrived first and found the small abode “consumed by fire,” according to the police report. A neighbor told Wilson a woman and her two dogs were inside the burning structure. He entered the residence and found her, describing the woman as “in a state of shock.” PO Florea arrived, along with
Hampton Bays Fire Department Assistant Chief James Kappers. The trio was able to pull the woman and one dog from the burning house. Thickening smoke and overwhelming heat forced the three rescuers back when they tried to reenter the house to save the second dog. Another officer on the scene, PO Robert McCoy pulled the victim and her dog, plus her vehicle, away from the fire before a propane tank blew. The explosion further damaged the house and even affected a neighboring residence, police said.

GOP Proposes Septic Solutions By Kitty Merrill
Hot on the heels of announcing their candidacy for East Hampton To w n B o a r d , t h e t o p o f t h e Republican ticket -- supervisor candidate Manny Vilar and town board hopefuls Jerry Larsen and Paul Giardina -- announced a draft plan designed to pose a possible solution to residential septic systems as a factor in the degradation of local water quality. The plan proposes required septic system inspections of all systems located within an as yet unnamed distance from a watershed, at homes that haven’t been subject to a building permit since 1995. It calls for inspections when there is a pump out, and if there hasn’t been one within three years of the law’s adoption, an inspection should occur nonetheless. Systems that don’t pass inspection would be added to a database as part of a Watershed Septic Upgrade District. When the number of failed systems is identified in a district – the plan suggests between 20 and 100 -- the town would forward the list to the Suffolk County Health Department
so funding for upgrades to all the systems in the district may be sought. Homeowners who refuse to have their systems upgraded could have their Certificates of Occupancy terminated. The plan can be carried out without increasing town personnel, stimulates the private sector, and is touted as “funding sustainable,” meaning all costs to the town can be recovered without using the Community Preservation Fund, according to its authors. The candidates believe the CPF set-aside is “woefully underfunded,” a release announcing the plan states. The Republicans crafted the plan prior to the town board’s vote to allocate 20 percent of CPF revenue towards septic upgrades. GOP candidates favor placing that money in a water quality reserve fund and seeking the “untapped and extensive financial resources” of the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation and the US Environmental Protection Agency Clean Water Act State Revolving Fund.

On Airport Noise:
Letting Southampton Weigh In By Kitty Merrill
The Southampton Town Board approved two pieces of legislation designed to give residents of the town a seat at the table when it comes to noise generated from operations at East Hampton Town’s airport. The board resolved to support a state bill authored by Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Senator Ken LaValle offering enhanced public input about airport funding. The second board resolution lets the town create a link to a noise complaint registry on its website. There, residents can log complaints about aircraft noise. “It is my hope that continued pressure from affected municipalities such as ours, will help move bills like this forward and further emphasizes
Wildlife Babies
to East Hampton Town that they need to bear the burden of noise created as a result of the operations of their airport,” said bill sponsor Councilwoman Christine Scalera, “The passage of this bill will give the public an opportunity to weigh in when East Hampton Town seeks to take grant assurances.” Under the proposed state law, East Hampton’s acceptance of federal or state funding for the airport or aviation projects at the facility would be subject to permissive referendum. With a permissive referendum, an adopted law may be challenged through a petition process that would force a public vote.
East Hampton Town officials support the measure, as it could block elected successors from taking money from the Federal Aviation Administration. The second resolution authorizes Southampton Town to provide a link to Airnoisereport.com, an online complaint registry in which residents may register their complaints about loud or excessive aircraft noise. Since many flight paths from the East Hampton Airport are over easterly portions of the Town of Southampton, such as Bridgehampton, Water Mill, Sag Harbor, Noyac, and North Sea, the Town of Southampton wants

to give its residents a place to log complaints, Scalera explained.

Van Scoyoc Seeks The Big Seat By Kitty Merrill
After weeks, and in some cases, months, of speculation, Peter Van Scoyoc announced his intention to seek the supervisor seat in East Hampton Town. His family roots trace back to the 1700s. His roots in town government don’t go back quite as far, but they go back. He served stints on the zoning board of appeals and planning board
prior to his election to the town board in 2011. He’s currently the deputy supervisor. Van Scoyoc was sworn in to the town board in 2012. A building and a charter fishing boat captain, he ran on a platform of restoring civility to town hall alongside Larry Cantwell, who was cross-endorsed by both parties for supervisor. In a release announcing his
decision to seek the Democratic nomination, Van Scoyoc said, “My wife Marilyn and I have raised our family in East Hampton and understand the challenges faced by working class families to earn a living and provide for their family.” He concluded his announcment with, “Leading the community as Supervisor requires even more than the experiences of raising a family

and earning a living here. Most importantly, I offer a vision for the future of the Town Of East Hampton. A future that is forever diligent about protecting our natural resources, open space, and environment. A future that includes more opportunities for our residents who want to live and work here and have a place to live. And a future where we accept our diversity, understand our differences and work together for the betterment of our community.” Asked to handicap this year’s election outcomes, Cantwell, who won’t be running again, suggested Van Scoyoc has an inside track. Town council colleague Kathee Burke-Gonzalez is seeking re-election and, said Cantwell, the Democrats have screened “three or four others for town board.” Yesterday Zach Cohen of Springs announced his bid for town board. Town Republicans “have their act together more than they have in years,” the veteran public figure observed. “They’re already out there working.” Democrats locally embark upon an extensive and lengthy screening process before all candidates are subject to a vote from the entire committee during a nominating convention generally held in May. In the meantime, given the possibilities on both sides of the political aisle, Cantwell predicted, “People are going to have a nice selection to choose from this year.”

Ralph George: Life In The Navy During Wartime By Rick Murphy
By the time he was eight, Ralph George could take his father’s 47foot fishing boat from Fort Pond Bay, go around Montauk Point to fish, and bring it back again before dark with dinner for the family. “If you knew my father you learned seamanship,” recalled the 88-year-old. The family lived in East Hampton Village, but had a boat and cottage in Montauk, Bubbies through and through. The youngster came from a Navy family, his Dad Ed following a long line of men into service. With a vicious war brewing on two fronts, young Ralph was itching to
do his share. He wanted to be a draftsman, but East Hampton High School (where East Hampton Middle School is now) only offered one mechanical drawing course. “I was sitting in two study periods every day so I figured I might as well enlist.” By then his father had opened a gas station on Three Mile Harbor Road that is now Sam’s. “There wasn’t much past there,” he said of the road headed north. The inside joke was there were three regular customers. If a fourth car came along, his dad would say, “How about this traffic!”

In fact there were no roads from Three Mile Harbor Road all the way to Sammy’s Beach — when George returned home for the first time several years later, he was amazed at how many new roads had been installed. When George was 17 in 1945, he enlisted with his father’s permission. He was on a submarine chaser in the Atlantic within months. “We would shut the engines and sit out there in the Atlantic, listening for the whirring sound their submarines made,” he said. He wasn’t afraid, then or ever, during a career on the sea that lasted four decades and literally
hundreds of brushes with death, including a harrowing 14-year stint on a submarine. “I don’t know why, but I just wasn’t.” On more than one occasion the sub was tracked and attacked by German U-Boats, eerie scenes of shattering explosions and hurried cries. “I can still hear the old man screaming ‘Dive! Dive!’” George recalled – the old man being, of course, the sub commander. They were all called “the old man,” however young. He served in just about every kind of boat, including an aircraft carrier. His career spanned three wars and took him to every corner Continued on Page 15.

East Hampton Village, 1945
A Stroll Down Main Street By Rick Murphy
East Hampton Village circa 1945 was vastly different than it is today. In fact, Ralph George recalled, not only did families do all their shopping locally, but there were gas pumps right on Newtown Lane. George, 88, remembers his childhood like it was yesterday, rattling off the names of the stores and merchants of long ago. “In those days you could buy everything you need in town,” he recalled. “You never had to go anywhere else.” Starting from Race Lane, headed south on Newtown Lane, East Hampton Lumber was on the corner, and Jack the Battery Man had a shop.
Cavagnaro’s Bar, Buckets Deli (now Mary’s Marvelous), Vitale’s Flower Shop, and Halsey’s Garage with the pumps in front were next. Then came Joe Loris’ Hotel and Bar, Eastern Hardware Store, and Parson’s Electric, run by Ronnie Rioux. Parson’s had two gas pumps out front. Next door was a dress shop run by Lily Ialacci. Bohack’s was on the eastern corner of Newtown and Main Street, and upstairs were the local phone operators - when you picked up a phone to make a call, it was a local woman who answered and she probably knew you. On the east side of Newtown, the high school anchored the block. The dry cleaner today is in the building

where Nate’s Barber Shop was – Nate’s wife got hit by a train right outside the shop. There was a house where single teachers lived (the kids called it “Bonac Tech”). Conrad and Schott cabinetmakers, and Schenck's fuel followed – just the small house in front, not the entire parcel operated by family today. The post office was on the east side of Newtown Lane, and a private shooting range was housed in the basement. “They would let us kids shoot there,” George remembered. The Mamador, an eatery popular with the younger set was next door, along with Sam’s and the Candy Kitchen. George remembers an easy childhood. “We were good kids. There was no pot or anything like that.” Friday nights the teens usually found themselves at the Candy Kitchen on Newtown Lane. The changes have been striking. There is a potato farm where he went to grammar school. The Reutershan Parking Lot was nothing but overgrown shrubs. It was a town of Mom and Pop stores. “You could go shopping downtown and get everything you needed,” he recalled. Headed west on Main Street there was a Western Union and then, Cowboy’s Underwear Shop (“at least we called it that, I don’t know why!”). Then there was a clothing store run by, fittingly enough, a guy named Barney, followed by a dress shop run by two sisters. Osmond Trust, Barnes Paper Store, and Village Hall were all on the north side of Main Street. On the southern corner of Newtown and Main there was a VFW and the police station was upstairs, Two cops, Dick Seal and the chief, Chris Eddy covered the

town. Over on North Main Street, dubbed Freetown, the present day IGA was Collin’s Store and there were gas pumps outside. Moltelsani’s Luncheonette and the North Main Street Cleaners were next in line, headed north. Across the street was Fedi’s Market with Joe Pumbo, the butcher. “If you ordered a one and a quarter pound steak that’s exactly what you got,” George related. Sherrill’s Dairy Farm was at the intersection of Three Mile Harbor Road and Springs Fireplace Road. The kids who worked there would pack the barn attic so more bales would fit. They were paid with a quart of milk, with heavy cream floating on top.
Next Week We continue the story from last week’s paper about the proposed wind generator project off the coast of Montauk. There has been considerable opposition from some environmentalists and fishing groups.
Mac Attack A woman allegedly selling narcotic pills in a McDonald’s parking lot was arrested last week. Detectives from the East End Drug Task Force said Jaclyn M. Risch of Medford, 31, sold Suboxone pills on four occasions to an undercover officer, including at the fast food eatery on Flanders Road. On Thursday police made their move, taking the accused into custody and charging her with multiple felony counts of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance Third Degree. She was arraigned and sent to Suffolk County jail in lieu of $2500 fine. The Task Force is comprised of trained officers from local village and town police departments, plus the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office. Home Safe An East Quogue teenager who was reported missing last week was found in Riverhead Saturday. The youth, 16, who was not identified, left her home on Lewis Road three days earlier by crawling out of a bedroom window. Southampton and Riverhead Town Police were on the alert for the teen and spotted her in Riverhead at an undisclosed location. The youngster was uninjured, Southampton Town Police Lieutenant Susan Ralph reported.

of the globe. Once, when he was on the submarine, a helicopter had to be called to pull a sick mate off the boat. George, who knew the flag signals from his carrier days, deftly positioned the bird from atop the submarine deck.
Norfolk To China His stint on the sub took him from from Norfolk to the South China Sea. He fought in World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam and faced the constant pressure from Russia during the Cold War. On one trip home he married his high school sweetheart, Vilma Hawkins. They’ve been married 37 years. George made the Navy a career – 25 years. But his professional career on the sea wasn’t over. He came home, worked for his dad a bit, and then went to work for the East Hampton Town Marine Patrol. That gig lasted for 15 years. “Ronnie Adams from the police department asked me if I’d be interested in working,” he remembered. He took a job with the marine patrol on a 19-footer. Paul Greenwood, the longtime harbormaster, was stepping down. “I loved that job. I looked forward to work. I was on call 24/7 and went out in all hours of the day and night, and I never missed a day.” George has a wall full of medals and another of patches. He’s been honored by Naval Commander Sean D. Fujimoto and received a letter from President George H. Bush. He was decorated on his next job as well for breaking up a couple of marijuana smuggling rings locally. “Once I got a call. ‘Guess what I found floating in the bay?’ the guy asked. I thought it was another
dead body.” As it turned out, it was dozens of 50-pound bales of marijuana. One honor eluded him for almost 70 years. George, 88, was never invited to class reunions at East Hampton High School because he never graduated. But several years ago school officials issued him a diploma. There are two rifles mounted in a basement office filled with paraphernalia from three wars and other mementoes from his rich careers. “See these? Never been a bullet passed through either one. All the killing I’ve seen, I never want to see another one.”

Russia was closing in on one side of Germany, and the Americans and Allied forces on the other, but the Nazis clung stubbornly to their belief they were the master race that would conquer the world. Boys like Ralph George in East Hampton, only 16, waited for their birthdays, ready to enlist with their parents’ approval. Johnny Mercer (“Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive”), Les Brown, and Perry Como ruled the radio airwaves. The top-grossing movie of the year was The Bells Of St. Mary’s starring Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman. Gregory Peck, Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers and Lana Turner were among the most sought-after actors. The Lost Weekend swept the Oscars, with statues going to the director Billy Wilder and the star, Ray Milland. Joan Crawford won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in Mildred Pierce. Harry Truman took over the U.S. Presidency after Franklin D. Roosevelt died on April 12; no other president had ever served into a third term. April was also the turning point of World War II. On the Pacific front Americans invaded Okinawa and in Europe, Americans liberated the first of many Nazi death camps. August 6, 1945, will be day that lives in infamy forever: America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Three days later another was dropped on Nagasaki. The Japanese surrendered later that week. The Detroit Tigers won the 1945 World Series. Jackie Robinson signed his first professional contract, to play baseball in Montreal. O n D e c e m b e r 21, G e n e r a l George S. Patton died in Germany, perhaps altering the course of history forever. He might well have challenged his adversary, Dwight Eisenhower, in the political arena.

Pink Pearl Gala: Awarding Excellence
Photos from last year’s gala.
By Nicole Teitler
Ann Cotten-DeGrasse and her late husband, Antonio DeGrasse, who passed away in early 2016, will be awarded the Pink Pearl Community Service Award this Friday at the Third Annual Pink Pearl Gala. A benefit for the North Fork Breast Health Coalition, the dinner and awards ceremony will be held from 6 to 10 PM at East Wind in Wading River. T h e a l l - v o l u n t e e r, n o n p r o f i t organization supporting local breast cancer patients was founded by the DeGrasses in 1998 after they saw the lack of breast cancer support services on the North Fork. After Ann’s discovery of two benign lumps, and undergoing a biopsy, the experience prompted her husband to attend a conference held by the South Fork Breast Health Coalition. Antonio met Susan Roden, founder of the group, and was encouraged to start something similar on the North Fork. As a Rotarian in Riverhead, Antonio went to the Rotary seeking legal advice about start the new venture. Once he received $5000 to get things moving, Antonio picked Rotarians based on their varied skills to run things with him.
“My husband was the shaker and maker behind this coalition . . . those people were the nucleus that started this,” Ann Cotten-DeGrasse explained. Within a few years she took the role as president of the organization, a position she held for 12 years. “He was the impetus for starting this.” NFBHC offers reflexology, yoga, massage therapy, and support groups, in addition to the $1000 Lend a Helping Hand Grant. “I always think of him saying, ‘It’s for the women’ . . . He would always come back to that and make us feel like we have to do more, to continue this,” Cotten-DeGrasse remembered. This year, the foundation will also honor Flora Garsten and her late husband, Irwin, with the Pink Pearl Spirit Award. “Isn’t it ironic that the two widows now are the ones who are going to be accepting for the men that were really the instrumental people that moved this forward?” This year’s benefit emcee will be News 12 Long Island Reporter Shari Einhorn. Seating is available for $125 per person. To reserve individual seating, reserve tables for a group, or to inquire about corporate sponsorship

in between can be trying. BREATHE!
Today Saturn, the planet of Karma and Order, stops in the sky to go backwards also. Circumstances around your goals or wishes may come up once more for review. We can feel like we are running in place. On Saturday Mercury stops to go retrograde for the next three weeks. You may hear about old friends or relive some old situation in a new way. With the full moon in Libra on Monday, those old dreams (or people) that returned may have to be changed or released in a new way. Don’t forget to make those wishes on this moon as this is a magical time. Remember that we are in very uncertain times and we may be surprised with events that pop up in our personal lives as well as our communities.
TAURUS (4/21 - 5/20) Watch that spending on any luxury item. Before you hand over your hard-earned cash, make sure you research the purchase as only a Taurus can and you may find a treasure.
ARIES (3/20 - 4/20) Oh, those plans you have envisioned and want to happen now may be placed on hold for a while. Relationships from your mailman to your children and everyone
LEO (7/22 - 8/23) That hobby or secret career dream you have been wanting to do can happen. Make time to seriously plan how to get it going. Friends will back you up.
GEMINI (5/21 - 6/20) Try to spend as much time in nature or out of doors as possible. This will help clear the cobwebs from your brain. You need to reconnect with friends and family. Perhaps tickets to a show or some sports event will make you feel better. CANCER (6/21 - 7/22) This week finds you wanting to bond with close friends and family. Perhaps the stress of work has made you feel drained and unable to spend time relaxing. Have them over for a casual dinner to revive your soul.

VIRGO (8/23 - 9/22) Going back to school to gain better skills on the job or simply attending a seminar on a subject you like can do wonders for your wellbeing. You may even meet a new friend or two. LIBRA (9/23 - 10/22) A new job opportunity may fall into your lap. Just be sure to ask all the questions and know what you are getting involved with. Also you may be asked to invest in a project and the same advice applies. Just check before signing on the dotted line. SCORPIO (10/23 - 11/21) You must have some heart to heart talks with your partner, whether it is your lover, wife, or boss. Things have to be put back on track before they derail. SAGITTARIUS (11/22 - 12/21) Friends are there for you this week if you feel like the world is caving in. Make time to organize your paperwork or your home and you will feel more in control. CAPRICORN (12/21 - 1/21) Time to put down the phone and let someone else pull their weight at the office. You need to relax, so try to use this time to make something fun happen. You do remember what fun is?

AQUARIUS (1/21 - 2/19) Oh, how we hate to budget, but that is what you must do now. Getting your money in order will give you a clear picture of what you can spend. PISCES (2/19 - 3/20) Plans may have to be placed on the shelf for awhile as communications may be hard to control. Use the time to reconnect with friends and enjoy yourself.

Broadway Reporting From
By Isa Goldberg
(& Sometimes Off)
Joan Of Arc: Into The Fire With book, music, and lyrics by David Byrne of the Talking Heads, Joan of Arc: Into The Fire at The Public Theater, is completely sensational. Byrne’s, Here Lies Love, about the life of Imelda Marcos, premiered at The Public a few years ago, also to a euphoric reception. Sensation is Byrne’s coat of arms. His collaborator, Alex Timbers, who directed the musical about Marcos, brings his brand of radical, fantastical, and in-your-face theater, to this contemporary musical about the allusive Saint Joan. Add to this Stephen Hoggett’s bold choreography, and you know you’re Into The Fire. Playing Joan of Arc, Jo Lampert, a performer and lead singer for the band tUnE-yArDs, is astonishing. Capturing the zeitgeist with gender fluidity, Lampert is the stunning creator of her own being. Her on-stage transformation from a feminine young woman to a warrior in a black motorcycle jacket dancing with a sword is an intense kind of psychological surgery. Iggy Pop-thin, tall and lithe, she delivers an arresting physical performance, while snaring us with a voice that ranges from pure and boyish to piercing and ardent. Essentially, the show is a sung through rock musical, ranging in style from blasting electronic feedback to the sweetest of ballads, such as “Send Her to Heaven,” sung by Joan’s mother (Mare Winningham) twenty four years after her daughter was burned at the stake. With the exception of Joan and her mother, all the actors on the stage are men, so the production resonates with a powerful masculinity that is brutish at times. That Joan was canonized more than 500 years after being killed by the country she fought to protect, speaks to the enduring nature of the mythology that surrounds her. That she was fierce, and rejected the gender that inhibited her ferocity, is one reason to reclaim her today. That she was a patriotic freedom fighter who waged war to liberate the villages in her native France, makes her an icon we can look to in this tough political time. (After all, were it not for the many, many Americans who raised their voices to protect us from the repeal of Obamacare, we would have lost it.) That Joan was martyred by both church and state to hide their lies is, yet again, a sad contemporary sort of antidote. This is a stylish production, indeed, with ingenious costumes by Clint Ramos, who has draped the soldiers in cloaks that bear the British flag on one side and the fleur de lys on the
other. Men, fighting themselves, is a powerful image here, as are Darrel Maloney’s projections, which open the show, swinging back in time at high speed, from today to the Middle Ages. It happens so quickly, it’s as if nothing has changed. Sunday In The Park with George Looking haggard and deep in thought, Jake Gyllenhaall makes his Broadway musical debut as George Seurat in this, the second Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday In The Park with George. Watching this production at a Wednesday matinee, the audience greeted Gyllenhaal with an unprecedented silence - a rare moment of respect for a movie star, while Annaleigh Ashford (Dot), who makes her entrance just moments after his, received thunderous applause. A Broadway legend in her own day, Ashford delivers a subtle performance - as serious as it is humorous. Gyllenhaal, however, is masterful. While he is not a singer on par with the likes of Mandy Patinkin, who created the role on Broadway, Gyllenhaal works with an entirely different stage vocabulary. “Take The Day Off,” is a song George sings about painting The Dog in his 1884 masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. “Rolling around in mud and dirt/Begging a bone on Sunday,” are literally portrayed by Gyllennhall, as he transforms into that character, “Roaming around on Sunday/Poking among the roots and rocks.” The rawness of Gyllenhaal’s voice rings true, and he is physically riveting, bringing to mind the bizarre animations in video games. Not an inappropriate comparison, that. After all, Seurat’s edgy work, dismissed for its pointillist style, was also outré in its day. In fact, Gyllenhaal’s hands appear to have lived holding onto that pointillist’s brush. With them he pokes gracefully, disseminates light, embraces balance, and tells us this enchanting story as it was written by James Lapine. In the second act, George appears again as Seurat’s grandson, creating works he calls “Chromolumes,” a display of “light,” “color,” “harmony,” “balance,” “tension,” and music, much the way that his grandfather had envisioned his own artistic process nearly a century earlier. And Ashford, Seurat’s model and muse, becomes the grandmother of young George, embracing her memories of the man who painted her as Dot. There is an essential nostalgia to the production that is belied by the
Joan of Arc: Into The Fire. uniqueness of its style. There is no other musical like it. It stands on the shoulders of all great musicals, as it extols masterpiece, in and of itself. Like George’s Chromolumes, Sondheim’s songs speak about “order, design, opposition, tone, symmetry . . . ” And that is where we enter, watching a blank canvas come to life with endless possibilities. There is genuine daring to Sarna Lapine’s directorial concept, which underplays the romanticism of the musical composition. More prominent here is the ensemble of actors - Brooks Ashmanskas, Phillip Boykin, and Penny Fuller, among them, who emerge “In the middle of the summer/On an island in the river on a Sunday.” It is all simply divine! The Price Having found The Price to be an oddly quotidian play, given that Arthur Miller wrote it, it is an unexpected pleasure to see this revival by The Roundabout Theatre at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway. Under Terry Kinney’s insightful direction, this revival is, most importantly, comic, which is a damn good thing when you’re sitting in an attic filled with memories of the 1929 stock market crash. Here we meet the two surviving brothers, Victor, an understated Mark Ruffalo, his wife, an optimistic, albeit disappointed Jessica Hecht, and his brother Walter, Tony Shalhoub. While
Independent/Joan Marcus
outgoing and generous, Shalhoub’s Walter spares no one from his personal sense of justice. But the surprise appearance, amidst this spectacular casting, is an octegarian antique dealer, played by Danny DeVito. His Solomon seeks justice only for himself. While the arguments are obvious, including the fight over the family money, the absence of parental love and the loss of self that insufferable families demand, the issues drive to the heart of so much of Miller’s oeuvre. Like Death of A Salesman, the equation between success and money presides here, as does the failure, literally the crash, of the American Dream. But there is also something very simple at the heart of the dialogue between these family members about what it takes to be a man. Suddenly that question appears as the riddle that haunts many of Miller’s iconic characters, from John Proctor in The Crucible to Eddie and Rudolfo in A View from a Bridge, not to mention the ostensibly autobiographical play, After The Fall. Derek McLane’s contemporar y set places us in an attic surrounded by water towers that mirror our city’s innards. But the entertainment is coliseum-style, with Roman gladiators fighting for their lives. And at the end, DeVito’s laugher ricochets from the proscenium stage like an apparition of some ridiculous destiny.

Editorial Ahhh, April It’s on and popping. Even if the weather isn’t fully cooperating, spring has sprung.

For lots of East Enders, this first balmy month means it can be “sunny with a chance of money.” Workers scramble to begin the process of getting second homeowners’ manses ready for Memorial weekend. Families take that last big vacation before “the season” starts. And those crocuses and daffodils bloom. Tulips do, too, in gated compounds protected from munching deer. What else is April about? Let’s go to our buddies at nationaldaycalendar.com for a glimpse at what the fourth month of the year encourages us to be aware of. It’s Stress Awareness Month and to help cope, it’s also National Cannabis Awareness Month. It’s National Humor Month and Straw Hat Month. April is the month to appreciate jazz, poetry, pecans, fresh celery, and soft pretzels. It’s soy foods month, though appreciation of that may be a lift for some. It’s Canine Fitness Month and Safe Digging month. This month we’re called to be aware of child abuse, fair housing, autism, and sexual assault. It’s Intern Awareness Month, National Welding Month, and Occupational Therapy Awareness Month. There’s a heavy focus on getting outdoors (or indoors) and getting it done in April. It’s national decorating, garden, and landscape architecture month. We’re to appreciate inventors, military children, and records and information management in April, plus Scottish American Heritage and couples. We’re called to Keep America Beautiful and Donate Life. Finally, April is National Guitar Month. Be sure to call up some great tunes as you’re exercising with Fido or enjoying your pretzels and soy.

Just Say No
Dear Editor, As residents of Suffolk we are by location, water and land stewards. We have the gift and the responsibility as a county to protect and care for our land and all of its ecological assets. In this spirit, I ask you to stand with me in that stewardship and request legislation to ban Styrofoam containers from Suffolk County, via my petition, "Suffolk County Says No To Styrofoam." All too often, as I'm sure you've seen, Styrofoam drink and food containers lay
Is it just me?
strewn along road and tree lines, making their way into local waters and forest areas. Once a week I clean up a local beach in Southampton, where Styrofoam and plastic are the number one items I find by the shore. Styrofoam is a petroleum product that has been found to be toxic to nature and to the human body. In our land and aquatic life, it causes choking, starvation by blockage, poisoning and death when ingested, often done by unknowing and hungry wildlife. The EPA has named it the fifth largest source of hazardous waste in the U.S., a product that takes 500 years to biodegrade, or more likely never, like its cousin, the plastic bag (which has already begun to be widely banned by counties, states and countries across the world). How does it affect you? When you choose Styrofoam for a hot beverage or pick up
a hot lunch in a to go container, the heat causes the product to leach toxic chemicals such as benzene and stryene into your drink and food. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared stryene a very possible human carcinogen; other studies have linked the two chemicals to Parkinson's as well as leukemia. No matter how you spin it, you are ingesting petroleum bi-product every time you consume from these containers when heated. With this knowledge in hand, let us join New York City, Washington D.C, cities in California, Florida, Maine, and more in their wise decisions to ban Styrofoam containers. The facts are there, its time to take action. Lets help our home. In today's world it
is more important than ever that we ALL participate in creating a better tomorrow. If you agree and want to lend your voice, find this Petition online at Change. org: https://www.change.org/p/suffolkcounty-lets-ban-styrofoam-containers or join our Facebook Page, use search bar for: "Suffolk County Says No to Styrofoam Containers," the Petition can be found there as well.

celebrating National Volunteer Week every year. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our inspiring volunteers, hosts and supporters in the East End. Their continued dedication to our New York City children is exemplary, and truly embodies the spirit of National Volunteer Week, which is from April 23rd to April 29th this year. Fresh Air volunteers work in several capacities throughout the year along the East Coast and Southern Canada to help make The Fresh Air Fund’s programs possible. Fresh Air host families open their hearts and homes, and share the everyday joys of summertime with their Fresh Air friends. Our local volunteer leaders – many of whom are also hosts – serve on our local committees, interview prospective host families, publicize the program, and plan summer activities. Additionally, individuals and local businesses give generously of their time and resources to make The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program throughout the East End a great success each summer. The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children since 1877. For more information on how you can help to continue this tradition of volunteering, please call The Fresh Air Fund at 800-3670003 or visit www.freshair.org.

Two Bedrock Promises Dear Rick, Thank you for your time and newspaper coverage of my announcement as a candidate-designate for the East Hampton Town Board. During our conversation we discussed the plan I have proposed along with my running mates, Manny Vilar and Jerry Larsen, for the improvement of the Town’s eight watersheds. Last week I provided you with the latest draft of that plan which has two bedrock premises. First of all the water quality issue is Issue #1 in the upcoming election. The second premise is that with estimated costs for upgrading residential septic systems ranging between $30 and $100 million the 20% Community Preservation Fund (CPF) set aside would not be sufficient and timely to deal with this issue. Our plan would utilize the EPA-State Environmental Facilities Corporation Revolving Fund, a fund that actually will be

What do you remember about Easter from your childhood? Deanna Sica What I remember is getting to eat ice cream on Easter Sunday because I gave up ice cream for Lent. So at 12:01 on Easter morning, my cousin, who’d also given it up for Lent, and I would head straight for the freezer and pull out the Breyer’s Vanilla Fudge. Derek Whitmore I dyed hard-boiled eggs with my mother, brother and sisters. And afterwards we’d all go to the Amagansett Fire Department Egg Hunt. That was something we always looked forward to. They did a really good job of making it fun for all the kids. John Kelly My mother and father always made it fun to understand what the blessing the holiday was and that it was about the resurrection of Jesus. I’m 42 now and I still love the holiday because my parents planted that seed. And there were all of the chocolate bunnies and things like that to enjoy too! I had a great childhood. Joel Kelsey My brother and I would be so excited about painting the Easter Eggs, we’d fight over the paint colors. And then we’d go to my grandparent’s house for one of their wonderful holiday dinners. Even as an adult my brother Hunter still gets excited about the egg hunt!

funded at a higher level this year by the new Administration and would make available $2 billion to New York State.The plan has been developed with input from many: Federal and State water quality stewards, local baymen, fisherman, and farmers. The plan should not increase the regulatory burden as it will utilize existing East Hampton Town Code authorities to identify failing residential septic systems within our watersheds and target them for upgrading. Our plan provides residential property owners which have their septic system identified for upgrading with several choices. They can go about the upgrade on their own using an approved advanced nitrogen removal system, or they can upgrade using the above-referenced Revolving Fund which the Town will apply for and provide on a per-watershed basis. All replacement systems and service will be competitively bid and will feature the use of local contractors. Repayment of the funds would occur over the 30-year life of the system and in some cases may be eligible for a 25% grant. The payback rate
that would be far less than the projected rise in the homeowner’s real estate taxes over the same period. A homeowner incapable of either of these two options would have a third option available which would allow the upgrade to be foregone until such time as the property changes owners at which time the upgrade must be done. East Hampton citizens on the lower income spectrum will not be victimized by this plan and forced into a financially burdensome situation. To assure that this plan would be financially prudent the CPF funds would be held in reserve to provide for any homeowner defaults and to assure the Town can maintain its bond rating. We want fiscal prudence to be a cornerstone of this plan. I believe it is unprecedented to announce our plan now and upfront in our campaign. We want all of the voters in our Town, and for that matter all those who have a stake in improving East Hampton’s water quality, to enter into a conversation about this plan. This issue is so important that the Continued on Page 39.

RICK’S SPACE If You Wanna Go To Heaven . . .
Who among us doesn’t want to go to heaven? From what we’ve seen of it, people lay around on clouds, dressed in white nightgowns and eating fruit. The clouds are plush and comfy, at least 450-thread count. The fruit is always ripe. There are no screaming babies, because they are in Limbo, which is an undiscovered planet out where Pluto used to be. All the nasty people we know are in hell. For eternity. So when your wife says, “We should visit my mom,” you can answer, “There’s no rush.” The only problem with heaven as we know it, is the gates, the socalled Pearly Gates. No one knows why they are called “Pearly.” I once asked a nun if it had anything to do with oysters and she slugged me. Supposedly, St. Peter mans the gates, and he decides if you get into heaven or not. Of course, it all depends on exactly how much
he knows about you, because all of us have done things that probably disqualify us from heaven. I used to think I was doomed to hell. St. Peter would look at me, pull out my dossier (which would weigh a ton) and start reading aloud the litany of sins, which began with “Lust” in the third grade (thank you, Donna Previti) and multiplied from there. Hell, I’ve coveted enough of my neighbor’s wives to almost guarantee a singed eternity in the black coals of hell. “Murf, given your proclivity for cursing and gambling, I really don’t see a spot for you in heaven at this time,” St. Peter would doubtless say. Who the hell does this guy think he is? I would ask for a second opinion, except by last count I’ve taken the Lord’s name in vain 326,188 times – this year. One strategy I’m contemplating is to die after 5 PM. That way you get the night watchman at the heavenly gates. You know the guy – he shows up with a thermos full of coffee, a
www.indyeastend.com
rolled up Daily News and a footlong hero sandwich. You either wait until he nods off to slip through the gates or go down the road a little bit and just kind of blend into the crowd. I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about mortality lately. Part of it is my upcoming 50th high school reunion, which is in the planning stages. We attended St. Augustine Diocesan High School in Brooklyn, where the Christian Brothers were charged with educating us. A lot of time was spent discussing heaven and how we need to behave to get in. Basically, we were told if we didn’t make it they would beat the crap out of us. That’s what’s called incentive. I haven’t seen most of the guys since we graduated but when you think high school reunion, you think a goodly amount of debauchery will take place. My expectations were quickly quelled when I was informed the “festivities” kick off with a Communion breakfast at 9 AM. My first question was, “Is there an open bar?” My wise-ass buddy replied, “It’s all the blood of Christ you can drink.” Growing up I was often called upon to attend Communion breakfasts, which galled me because they are typically on Saturday

morning, which is supposed to be a day off from heavenly pursuits. Now I find out that there are several religious-themed events during the reunion day, including a memorial service for the Brothers who passed on, presumably to heaven. That prompted my old friend Colum to responded that he wasn’t setting foot anywhere near St. Augustine until he was assured Crazy Ray, our sadistic physics teacher, was indeed dead. Come to think of it, if Ray made it to heaven the bar must be low enough for me to slip in. Naturally, a suit jacket and tie are mandatory for the day’s events, which always galled me about high school. I used to dream of going to school in jeans and sneakers like the public school kids did. Of course, what I really dreamed about was having girls in the classrooms – yes, we were an all boys institute of learning. I have never seen so many heterosexuals under one roof. The old adage “absence makes the heart grow fonder” is indeed true. I’ve lived my life according to the sacred mores pounded into our souls at St. Augustine – more or less. My working motto has always been: “If you wanna go to heaven . . . ya gotta raise a little hell.” I can only hope Brother Raymond isn’t watching.

Hope Springs Eternal For Diamond Hopefuls By Rick Murphy
It is a magical time of the year for baseball fans and teams alike as hope springs eternal – this will be the season it all comes together. For local high school teams, the dream is a trip to the New York State Championships. First, a team must qualify for the Suffolk County Tournament and win its classification division. League IX is the home of the county’s smallest schools, but home of two of Suffolk’s premier pitchers. Don’t let Southold’s modest enrollment fool you . . . within its ranks are two of Long Island’s nastiest pitchers, Dylan Clausen and Pat McFarland. Clausen went 6-2 with a sparkling 0.96 ERA as a junior. Teammate Pat McFarland, now a senior, was even better, winning eight games without a loss. The Settlers are knocking on the door after reaching the NYS Final Four and earning the Long Island
Class C Championship in 2016. The locals were 16-4 last season and are looking to better that mark this time around. How good is the Southold pitching staff? Last week, in a three-game series against Port Jefferson, the Settlers hurled three shutouts and won all three games by a combined 28-0 score. Clausen won the opener on March 29, 10-0 and fanned 16. Luke Hansen got in the act last Thursday, fanning 11 in another 10-0 whitewash. McFarland won the nightcap of the doubleheader 4-0 and whiffed eight. Sean Crowley’s Sag Harbor Whalers were only 11-9 last season but the veteran mentor knows how to build winners and the Whalers will be a factor in Class C once again. James Sherry, a senior, is expected to join Sam Warne atop the pitching staff. The Whalers beat Smithtown Christian 9-2 in the opener with Warne on the bump.
Greenport (3-17), Port Jefferson (6-13), Smithtown (12-10), and Stony Brook (0-16) fill out the league. Mattituck, two years from a state title, is always a contender in Class B and figures to compete for the League VIII title as always. The Tuckers were 19-4 last season. Brendan Kent will lead Steve DeCaro’s charges as the Tuckers try to repeat. Mattituck is off to a 2-1 start. Southampton, now a Class A team, appears to be the Tuckers’ main competition in League VIII. Chad Pike returns with considerable pedigree – his brother Chris pitches in the Tampa Bay Rays organization. Pike can hit some as well. He is joined by his basketball teammate Aaron Krzyzewski; the two helped the Mariners reach the basketball Final Four earlier this month. Krzyzewski will also see time on the hill. Southampton is off to a 3-0 start,
and Pike pitched like he has a chip on his shoulder: a one-hitter with 14 strikeouts in an 8-0 shutout of Hampton Bays last Wednesday. League VI, with perennial powerhouses like Bayport-Blue Point, is also home to the Westhampton Hurricanes, who hope to improve on last season’s 10-10 record. Ryan Wagner and Sam Kaplan will anchor a strong pitching staff and Ben Osborne, a slugger who raked to the tune of a .460 BA, is back at third base. The Hurricanes are 0-1 thus far in the young season. East Hampton, 2-16 last season, will look to Hunter Fromm and Philippe Zablotsky to provide efficient pitching and Ryan Lynch (CF), Kurt Matthews (3B) and James Foster (C) to provide offensive pop. The Bonackers ran into a buzz saw in their season-opening series, dropping all three games to Bayport/ Blue Point and only managing two runs in their series.

Lady Whalers, Baywomen Look To Make Waves By Rick Murphy
The Hampton Bays softball team doesn’t recognize adversity. Moved into Class A last season after decades as a B or C, the Baywomen simply elevated their game. The result was a spirited run into the county finals, where the locals lost a heartbreaker. They finished with a 17-8 record. This season, though, the team has lost some key players, Coach Rich Doulos hopes to mold a group of inexperienced players into a contender; the emphasis is on youth. Tyler Mackenzie, still only a junior, returns. Other key players include junior Emma Candelaria and Amelia Kozuchowski. Both players can pitch and one will emerge as the go-to on the mound. Lily Candaleria, a catcher, is only a freshman but is expected to see plenty of action. Hannah Hansen, a second baseman, will anchor the infield.
The Baywomen are a work in progress to be sure: they lost their first three league games last week. Westhampton and East Hampton will also compete in the league. The Lady Hurricanes were 11-11 last season, good enough for a playoff berth. East Hampton, 3-15 in 2016, will rely on a young, improving squad led by Sam Merritt, the pitcher, and Maddie Schenck, a catcher. The Lady Bonackers are 0-3 thus far. Westhampton looks like a team of bangers, smashing Bayport/Blue Point 11-5 on March 29 and crushing Hampton Bays 14-2 the following day. Angie Acampora went 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs to lead the offensive effort. The Pierson/Bridgehampton Lady Whalers and Southold/Greenport Lady Settlers will both be asked to play a schedule loaded with larger schools. The Lady Whalers, though 7-11, managed to tough out the Suffolk
Buzz Aids Southampton Little League In the spirit of community collaboration and teamwork taught through youth sports Buzz Chew Chevrolet is supporting Southampton Little League through the Chevy Youth Baseball Program. This sponsorship will include both monetary and equipment donations during the 2017 youth baseball season.

The dealership is sponsoring Southampton Little League as a part of Chevrolet’s nation-wide commitment to support youth sports, one community at a time. Over the course of the season, Buzz will donate equipment to the league which may include: equipment bags, baseballs, softballs, catcher’s gear, batting helmets, ball buckets, umpire’s equipment, coach’s kits, break away bases, bat racks, batting tees and first aid kits. “We are looking forward to a great season with Southampton Little League that will be filled with exciting games and an enhanced experience for the teams through the equipment and cash donations,” Bryon Chew, said. “Chevy Youth Baseball is just one example of how committed our dealership is to supporting the youth and families in our community.” The 2017 program will provide assistance to approximately 300 organizations in the Northeastern region and Chevrolet dealers will contribute over $450,000 in monetary and equipment donations.

County C title last season. Seniors Isabel Peters, a shortstop, and Charlotte Evans, the centerfielder, will lead Woody Kneeland’s charges. Pierson dropped its first two games last week. The Settlers were 8-12 last year but return a core of key players including the seniors Toni Esposito (CF), Hannah Sutton (3b), and Katie Tuthill (SS). Ashley Hilary has the inside edge to emerge as the pitching ace – she hurled a 12-0 shutout in the season opener against Shelter island
March 25. Mattituck, like the Settlers a B classification, was 9-11 last season and will feature a revamped lineup of underclassmen for Coach Kim Gerstung. They are 2-1 thus far in League X. Southampton, with a 13-10 mark last season, is competing in League IX. The Lady Mariners beat Glenn 8-4 last Wednesday behind the hitting of Taylor Pike, who clubbed a grand slam homerun, hit for the cycle, and batted in six runs.
