On Game Day, The Ad’s The Thing

By Kitty Merrill

Where’s the beef? It’s not just in those sliders you’re going to scarf this Sunday. With Super Bowl commercials costing a cool $5 million last year for just a 30-second time slot, the ads generate big money, big interest, and big batches of creativity.

Face it, the teams this year are a snoozefest for New Yorkers. Locals are less than patriotic for New England and who are The Falcons?

The match-up might be less than scintillating, but there’s lots more to Super Bowl Sunday than just the game. Non-football fans look forward to the half time show, and the excellent, if less than heart healthy, spreads they’ll find at local

eateries and nightspots and home parties.

And the commercials.

Ad guru and Indy co-publisher Jerry Della Femina cited “just about every Pepsi commercial” among his list of most memorable Super Bowl commercials. His favorite saw a Coke deliveryman sneaking a Pepsi from the case at a supermarket. It was called “Your Cheatin’ Heart” and aired in 1996.

A 1992 Pepsi ad starring Cindy Crawford – or, more accurately her white tank top and Daisy Dukes – made Ad Meter’s top 10 “Best Super Bowl Commercials of All Time” list.

Twenty four years later it spawned a parody starring Crawford (still looking luscious) and “The Late Late

Show” host James Corden. Senator Bob Dole sent up his famous Viagra endorsement in an ad for “The Joy of Pepsi.”

Competitor Coke was no slouch when it came to tugging heartstrings and crafty commercials. Remember Mean Joe Green limping to the locker room after a rough game?

He’s stopped by an adorable, and adoring little fan who offers him a bottle of soda. That 1979 outing carried the catchphrase, “Have a Coke and a smile.”

According to Della Femina “The ‘1984’ commercial made the Mac. It helped build a company that has effected all our lives.” It, too, made the Ad Meter list.

The original “Mad Man” feels “The

Budweiser Clydesdales commercials were always great. Especially after 9/11.” Just say, “Wassup!”

With beer commercials a staple of Sunday games, a Heineken spot featuring Brad Pitt chased by legions of paparazzi as he makes a beer run lists among the 50 best.

So, too, does a Bud Lite commercial featuring Cedric the Entertainer whose sexy date gets soggy in a hurry.

Sex sells, the old saw goes. A 2010 commercial for Old Spice made the top 50 list. It featured a shirtless hunk as “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.”

In the 1970s Farrah Fawcett and Joe Nameth were among the nation’s sexist sex symbols.

Noxema capitalized on that with a suggestive piece hawking shave cream that TIME named among the most embarrassing celebrity commercials.

Movie stars and sports heroes are a sure bet for making the sale. Think the Tide commercial featuring Joe Montana in 2013. “No stain is safe.”

Blockbuster movies are another favorite go-to. FedEx exploited the popularity of the Tom Hanks vehicle Castaway. A bearded and bedraggled deliveryman is finally rescued from a desert island and determined to deliver the one box that survived.

He discovers the box contained a bounty of items that would have made his life in isolation less miserable.

Della Femina’s favorite moviebased ad was spurred by Star Wars fame. “The Force” starred a “cute little Darth Vader” and fronted for Volkwagen. It’s on Ad Meter’s list of best Super Bowl commercials of all time and ranked number 10.

Interestingly, money isn’t everything when it comes to funny Continued on Page 25.

If you show them fear, they will attack you. Trump, with his latest anti-Muslim executive order, has shown fear.

His ban on Muslims can’t cover a Muslim kid born here in the United States, living somewhere in Jersey, who is reading today on the internet that Trump is fearful about Muslims and is banning Muslims. ISIS is talking to him. That kid is more likely to harm us than any Muslim we vet who wants to come live here.

Take a look at your cell phone.

Can’t do without it?

Well, if Trump were president when a Syrian immigrant named Abdulfattah Jandalias tried to come to America, he would have stopped him. Abdulfattah “John” Jandalias grew up in Homs, Syria. And he was Steve Jobs’ biological father. If he were denied entry to the U.S. when he got here, there would be no Steve Jobs. No Apple. No iPhone.

I’m a child of immigrants. So are you. My dad’s father, Genaro, came from Naples around the turn of the century. He was a fisherman and the word I heard, as a child, was that he had “jumped ship.” That means he was an illegal.

In those days, a lot of Italian men signed on to work on a ship and when the ship docked in New York or Boston or San Francisco or New Orleans, they simply walked off and started a new life. “He jumped ship” was a phrase I heard a lot when I was a kid.

My grandfather was one of the four million Italians who entered the United States around that time.

No other ethnic group had sent so many immigrants in such a short time. He left a few things behind in Italy: poverty, cholera and malaria.

My grandfather Genaro would

wake up early in the morning and, no matter what the time of year or the weather conditions, he would go to Coney Island, strip down to his bathing suit, tie a large burlap sack around his waist, and plunge into the icy waters of the Atlantic to collect mussels. He would empty the mussels into a rickety wagon and walk the streets of Brooklyn shouting, “Mussels, mussels, fresh mussels. Three cents a pound.” This is how he was able to care for his wife and seven children.

My mom’s father, Pepe (Joseph), was a tiny man (under five feet) who came over from Naples in 1914 with his wife and two children. All his life he dragged a heavy wooden pushcart on his back through the streets of Brooklyn, selling fruit and vegetables.

All of the people in my neighborhood were unskilled laborers working construction jobs and breaking their backs as longshoremen. Italian immigrants were called dagos, wops and guineas. They were all suspected of being, at the very least, thieves, and at the very worst, members of the Mafia. In New Orleans, they lynched 10 Italians whose only crime was that they were Italians.

They were heroes. My grandparents, my parents were heroes. They came to this country to work.

In The Hamptons, more and more Hispanics are working behind the counters of stores, cooking and waitressing, bartending, landscaping, working in construction, etc. Go for breakfast at Estia’s in Sag Harbor.

It’s one of the best restaurants in The Hamptons. The staff is all Hispanic. They are a delight.

Their smiles make the whole place sparkle and their warm, helpful, cheerful attitude will make your day. They belong here as much as my grandparents belonged here a hundred years ago.

Let’s celebrate them. They, along with so many others like them, bought in to the American dream.

They made the United States the greatest country in the world.

Trump/Bannon, with all their executive orders, can never be allowed to change that.

Zeldin Backs ‘Muslim Ban’

By Kitty Merrill

Executive Order correctly states, ‘Secretaries of State and Homeland Security may, on a case-by-case basis, and when in the national interest, issue visas or other immigration benefits to nationals of countries for which visas and benefits are otherwise blocked.’�

The order bars residents from seven Muslim-majority countries: Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from entering the country for the next 90 days. Although the executive order invokes the 9/11 terror attacks, it doesn’t include Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon, the

In the wake of rallies at airports across the nation that drew tens of thousands in protest of President Donald Trump’s executive order prohibiting entry by travelers from Muslim countries last weekend, Congressman Lee Zeldin on Sunday released a statement supporting the POTUS. “I support the temporary entry restriction from certain nations until the administration, Congress and the American people know with confidence that any individual being granted admission does not pose a threat to our security. As the

countries of origin for the 9/11 terrorists. That Trump has business dealings in those countries raised the eyebrows of political opponents. “Lawful permanent residents and green card holders should not be adversely impacted by this Executive Order,� Zeldin said. But news media over the weekend was rife with stories of green card holders detained for hours at airports across the country. On Long Island, a Stony Brook grad student who’s lived here for ten years was detained for more than 24 hours. In a statement Sunday, Zeldin said he and his office were “directly involved in the case,�

and working to ensure the student was released.

As protestors and politicians across the nation and the world decried the ban, the congressman opined, “Ever y American has sympathy for the innocent person who is looking to come to America for a better life, but the process must without exception prioritize America’s national security first.

We cannot allow someone entry until we know for sure they will not pose a risk.�

He continued, “The ultimate humanitarian victory is to assist with efforts to stabilize these nations and eliminate the threats there to peace. With all that being said, I will be closely monitoring the execution of this EO to make sure that any misapplication is corrected immediately.�

By Saturday night, a federal judge issued a stay on the order. Those who would have been allowed into the country before the ban are not subject to deportation, but could still be detained and refused entry.

Judge Ann M. Donnelly didn’t rule on the constitutionality of the ban.

Lawmakers weighed in on the morality of the ban, with Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau telling refugees they will be welcomed in his country, among them.

New York lawmakers were passionately opposed. “I never thought I’d see the day when refugees, who have fled war-torn countries in search of a better life, would be turned away at our doorstep. We are a nation of bridges, not walls, and a great many of us still believe in the words ‘give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses . . .’ This is not who we are, and not who we should be,�

Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a statement Saturday night.

On Monday Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer announced plans to call for a vote to overturn the executive order, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand attended a rally in Battery Park across from the Statue of Liberty on Sunday. She told NBC News to expect a bill designed to overturn what’s called the “Muslim ban.� “President Trump’s executive order is immoral and un-American and it’s going to harm our country,� she said. In a Facebook post Sunday, Gillibrand declared, “America is strongest abroad and safest at home when we project our core values represented by the Statue of Liberty. “President Trump’s Executive Order on refugees harms our image as a beacon of light and hope around the world and cruelly punishes innocent families fleeing war. I will work with my colleagues in congress to reverse this action and welcome desperate children and families while keeping America safe.�

Indeed, his license was suspended on December 18, 2016, for lack of insurance and there were three suspensions, the most recent in July,

Trump, Twitter, And The Traditional Media

When Donald Trump went out to dinner the day after he was elected it signaled a seismic shift in how the future President of the United States will handle the Washington press corps.

It offered further proof that

plans, a seemingly innocuous decision on the surface. But to the press corps charged with reporting his every move and utterance it was clearly a shot across the bow.

For print publishers and TV news stations, the shock waves began a year earlier, during the

Republican primaries. Trump would level and reply to charges not through the newspapers but through his personal Twitter account. The future president was literally communicating with citizens personally. Traditional Continued on Page 13.

Social Media Usage Staggering A Twitter user published the first picture of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 landing on the Hudson River.

By Rick Murphy

The Social Network was a movie.

Despite a few scenes in the movie to the contrary, it is safe to assume Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, never really imagined the extent of its popularity.

Consider that on August 28, 2015 Facebook logged one billion users in a single day. This prompted a robust gush from Zuckerberg – on Facebook, of course.

“This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it’s just the beginning of connecting the whole world,” he wrote.

But Zuckerberg knows techies are a fickle bunch, especially the younger set, and realizes he must be ever vigilant to withstand the competition.

Consider Snapchat. With modest financing, the photo and video sharing app quickly became the

darling of a new generation of social media uses.

On April 3, 2012, Snapchat was released for Android phones and was downloaded over a million times in less than 24 hours. Zuckerberg and Facebook made an offer to buy it but were rebuffed by Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel.

The allure, according to a study by the Pew Report, is the demographics. “Snapchat use is especially high among younger adults. Roughly six-in-ten online adults ages 18-29 (59 percent) use Snapchat, nearly double the share among 30 to 49-year-olds (33 percent) and more than seven times the share among those 65 and older (eight percent).”

Gar y Vaynerchuk, an early investor in Facebook, was attracted to Snapchat early on. “The norm of the internet age is to create

platforms in which everything is saved - everything is stored and documented digitally,” Vaynerchuk said. “Snapchat went the opposite direction and is predicated on our reality: moments are temporary and that’s exactly the feeling and behavior that Snapchat mapped to.”

The go-to demographic for all things Internet, young adults, is the key to Snapchat’s success.

“What really makes a new social network become popular fast?

Teenagers. There are two things that are very true when it comes to teens. One, it’s not cool to hang out at the same club as your mom. And two, you want to lock your room,” Vaynerchuk added.

Twitter is somewhere in between Fa c e b o o k a n d S na p c h a t . I t ’ s 140-characted limit demands brevity and thus eliminates pontificating.

Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Biz Stone, and Noah Glass and launched in July 2006. It gained worldwide attention on January 15, 2009, when a US Airways flight crashed on NYC’s Hudson River.

A photo posted to Twitter broke the news before traditional media, highlighting Twitter’s role in breaking news.

Is Facebook A Monopoly?

While the values of social media companies continue to soar, a case can be made that there is such a thing as too big.

As of this writing Facebook is valued at $385 billion ($132.24 a share) and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, at age 32, has a personal fortune approaching $60 billion.

An aggressive acquisition program that effectively gobbles up would-be competitors has fueled Facebook’s growth.

In 2012, before its initial p u b l i c o f f e r i n g , Fa c e b o o k shocked industry insiders by buying Instagram, a fledging photo-sharing app, for $1 billion, far more than it was worth on paper.

The following year Zuckerberg made a move to buy Snapchat.

(See accompanying article in this section). The allure for Facebook: Snapchat users were younger, and thus by definition, hipper.

Snapchat refused to sell – then.

But Zuckerberg is a persistent sort. Last year Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel relented and sold -- for $5 billion, $2 billion more than he had turned down just three years earlier.

“This is a bittersweet moment for us,” Spiegel said. “It’s sad to let go of something that we’ve put so much time and hard work in.” Sad indeed. Within weeks Facebook announced its intention to phase out Snapchat completely after “assimilating the technology into its existing platform.”

Had Facebook simply paid $5 billion to get rid of a competitor?

Though Internet companies have been immune to such talk in the past, the dreaded M word — monopoly is now being thrown around: how big is too big?

Last month a proposed merger of AT&T and Time Warner faced a challenge by a US Senate committee because of the potential for the combined company to become a monopoly.

But Mark Cuban, the Internet entrepreneur, said at the meeting of the Senate Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee that the truly dominant companies in media distribution were Facebook, Google, Apple, and Amazon.

“Facebook is without question in a dominant position, if not the dominant position,” he said.

Trump Tweets

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11. media outlets scurrying to play catch-up often ended up with stale stories.

Ironically the New York Times, a frequent target of Trump, realized early on its own role in shaping the election was in jeopardy.

On October 5, 2015 in an article entitled, “How Donald Trump Uses Twitter (Hint: Impulsively)” Michael Barbaro wrote, “[Trump] calls [Twitter] his own version of a newspaper: a stream of boasts, taunts and opinions, delivered on Twitter at all hours of the day to his more than four million followers.

Since 2009, he has used the social media platform to build his brand — and, now, to communicate with voters as a candidate for president.”

But in the same issue the Times managed to starkly illustrate why Trump distrusted the newspaper, calling him in another article, “pithy” and “mean” and relating a story about how Trump’s negative tweets about Kim Novak hurt the actress’s feelings.

People Understand “Trump uses Twitter like a strategic weapon,” wrote Kenneth Walsh in U.S. News and World Report.

Alex Conant, a former adviser to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, told Politico, “Trump is able to connect with the American people in an authentic and real way that other recent presidents haven’t been able to. When he tweets, people understand it’s actually coming from him.”

So when the New York Times went after Trump, Trump went after the Times – on Twitter. The strategy effectively put one of the nation’s most important newspapers on the outside looking in.

But while experts have long touted the eventual demise of the print media, savvy publishers began pouring millions of dollars into building websites and adding a new breed of reader: online.

In Januar y 2006 the Times announced the publication of its first online edition. “With its entry on the Web,” wrote Times reporter Peter H. Lewis, “The Times is hoping to become a primary information provider in the computer age and to cut costs for newsprint, delivery and labor.”

At that point in time newspapers weren’t far removed from the Golden Age of Journalism – when Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward cracked the Watergate story in the Washington Post in 1972 it spawned a generation of reporters looking to sink their teeth into good investigative pieces that focused on

political corruption and organized crime.

As newspapers became more and more aware of the Internet, the primary focus was on assuring advertisers that print journalism was a better vehicle for their a d ve rti si n g budgets even a s newspapers developed websites to hedge their bets. But newspaper publishers were slow to realize the full implications of social media to their industry.

On January 15, 2009, newspapers dispatched their best photographers to the Hudson River in New York City, where a plane had just landed.

Television channels dispatched crews.

In Seconds But onlookers – civilians – were already busy on the scene. The first pictures were posted on Twitter in a matter of seconds. In the coming years it would become commonplace – the first images of breaking news would invariably be sent in by passerbys using their smart phones and not professionals dispatched to be first on the scene.

Experts say newspapers will never recapture the dominance they once held, and that readers and advertisers will continue to use the Internet instead of buying hard copy.

In fact, Philip Meyer, a professor at the University of North Carolina and the author of, The Vanishing Newspaper: Saving Journalism in the Information Age, predicts newspapers as we know them will cease to exist by 2045.

But not all experts agree. With the advent of Fake News (see the January 18 edition of The Independent) the role of the newspaper in American society may be more important than ever: to report the truth, accurately and unbiased.

“Media accounts of the rise and fall of newspapers are greatly exaggerated, if not flat wrong,” wrote Paul Fahri in the Washington Post a decade ago, and he has proved prophetic.

In 2015 Martin Sorrell, a top executive for WPP, a multinational advertising giant, told a gathering at the annual Society Of Editors conference that advertisers are attracted to newspapers because “engaged audiences” spend over an hour reading them on the average “without the distractions” inherent on the Internet.

Muzzle The Media Reporters are finally getting the memo as well: Twitter reports that journalists make up 24.6 percent of verified accounts. In other words, if enough people are tweeting about something it becomes news, and if

tweets are rife with inaccuracies a good reporter can flush out the real story for readers.

The decline of newspaper sales may be good news for some of the industry’s harsher critics – like Trump – but it most certainly isn’t in the best interest of the citizenry.

In “Goodbye to the Age of Newspapers (Hello to a New Era of Corruption),” Paul Starr, published in the New Republic, wrote, “One danger of reduced news coverage is to the integrity of government. It is not just a speculative proposition that corruption is more likely to flourish when those in power have less reason to fear exposure.”

This is the precise reason corrupt political regimes attempt to muzzle the media.

Nevertheless, the decline in print readership has been long and steady. The percentage of Americans who buy a newspaper is half what it was in 1945, and the absolute number of papers sold has been declining since the mid-1980s.

According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, after falling about two percent annually, newspaper circulation in mid-2008 was down nearly five percent compared to the previous year.

Richard Tofel, president of the nonprofit news organization ProPublica and a former top executive with The Wall Street Journal, analyzed the 25 largest U.S.

newspapers and found that their print circulation is continuing to drop at a rapid rate, contrary to predictions that the decline had begun to level off.

By the same token, though, newspapers have gained a solid foothold on the Internet and overall readership remains strong when online editions are factored together.

In the final analysis, social media and the traditional news media need each other, said Rufus Olins of Newsworks.

“The relationship is interdependent, mutually beneficial. The pendulum is starting to swing back to what some people call ‘traditional media.’ Google, Facebook, Snapchat and the others benefit significantly from what the news brands provide.”

RICK’S SPACE What’s In A Name?

I suspect a lot of people are like me and don’t like their given names.

My name, for the record, is Henry, and no, I don’t like it.

The thing is, no one ever calls me Henry and no one ever did. My parents call me Rick. My teachers called me Rick. Most people don’t even know what my real name is.

Why did my parents name me Henry to begin with?

I asked my father once. “That’s a good question, Rick.”

So I asked my mother. “You know, Rick, I really don’t know.”

For the record, I wanted to be called “Christopher” and even took that as my Confirmation name, but it didn’t catch on.

Anyhow, the most popular baby names of 2016 are out. Jackson is followed by Aiden, Lucas, Liam, Noah, Ethan, Mason, Caden, Oliver, and Elijah.

The most popular names on the 1950s were, in order, Michael,

Robert, John, David, William, Richard, Thomas, Mark and Charles.

What’s amazing is there is not a single name that appears on both lists. Also of note is that many of the names of the 50s were shortened for every day use: Mike, Bob, Dave, Bill, Rich, Tom, Chuck. That not the case nowadays. You don’t see too many Ollies around. Yes, some people are called Lee, but their real names aren’t Liam but something like Leland, as in Leland Rutherford III. I have to admit I never heard the name “Caden” before until I read it on the list today. According to Wikipedia, the fake dictionary, “Caden is a given name popular in the United States and Canada . . . Its popularity is also increased by the popularity of similar-sounding names such as Aidan, Braden, Hayden, and Jaden.”

Like lots of stuff in Wikipedia, this makes no sense. Bob is popular,

but you don’t see many guys walking around named Tob, Hob, Nob, Yob, or Pob just because they rhyme (though you do meet an occasional Job every now and then, but that doesn’t even rhyme).

I consulted the Urban Dictionary.

I swear, I am not making this up: A Caden is “a hot as hell, ripped out of his mind, hunky piece of man meat any girl would go crazy to have. Immensely popular, and has girls hanging off his pinky as in, ‘OMG girll, that guy’s a total caden!’”

See, now I would have thought “Rick” meant that, or at least Henry.

But no. A Henry is, “An uncommon British slang term for an 1/8th measure of something.”

I have to confront, digest, and accept the terrible truth: My parents named me after a measuring spoon.

While guys name Caden have girls hanging off their pinkies, I’m a little speck of sea salt.

According to the Urban Dictionary, Rick is: “A great and loyal friend who is super fun to be around. The life of the party. Totally hilarious. Very generous and kind. Thoughtful.

Will totally smoke you out and then buy you a Frappuccino. Likes adventures. Smart, witty and deep.”

This is just as bad. Read between the lines: Rick is a girl’s best friend.

Ricks don’t get in serious make out sessions like Cadens do. Rick is the guy the girls talk to about the really

hot guys.

Most names bestowed on babies, then and now, honored members of the family, like one of the grandfathers or whatever. It would seem that the lists of the most popular names would tend to never change if this was still so, because the names would constantly recycle.

For example, in my family I had an aunt Adelia and I have a great niece Adelia. My sister Phyllis is named after her maternal grandmother Fillipi. My brother Stanley is named after my father Stanley (duh) but always insisted he is not a junior.

Yet “Juniors” are commonplace, and sometimes names go through multiple generations like Leland Rutherford IV and so on.

I have a friend named Junior but it is his first name. That means he could well be named Junior Junior and then have a Junior Junior Jr. In the perfect world I would have had a son named Christopher and he would have had a Christopher and my entire life would have turned out differently.

Instead I will carry the name Henry like a curse no blood relative of mine will ever be able to shake.

When I was about 14 my friends and I went to a gypsy who predicted our futures. He had no idea what my name was. He told me that I would grow up to be a chauffeur.

This frightens me to this day.

Cabin Fever Music Festival

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

The Cabin Fever Music Festival first hit the East End 10 years ago. The festival was established by Brendon Henry, Seth Farrell, and Paul Fallo as a way to spotlight local musical talent.

Now in its tenth year, the festival continues to feature local music in area bars and restaurants throughout The Hamptons during the month of February.

“I am so happy with how we went from a dream of how to help promote our insanely talented local artists and year round venues, to an institution every winter on the East End,”

said Henry in an interview with The Independent last year.

Staple venues include Buckley’s Inn Between and Doran’s in Hampton Bays and the Southampton Publick House. Southampton Publick House opens the festival on Friday with performances by Souliztik and Nick Kerzner at 9:30 PM.

Sea Tavern. North Sea Tavern will host one of two Sunday matinee shows on February 19 with Clearwater Stills, Warm Needles, The Avoiders, Adams Atoms, and The Atlantic & Eye all performing, starting at 3 PM. The second matinee show will be at Jimmy C’s in Hampton Bays on Sunday, February 26, with The Tweekers, Black Leaf, The Shipwrecks, Felix, and more.

Cabin Fever offers a little something for everyone and a great way to beat those winter doldrums.

An Acoustic Night will take place at Cowfish in Hampton Bays on

Wednesday, February 15, at 8 PM. The show includes Black Leaf, Chetflix and Nill, and Andrew Cooper.

Lantern Sound Recording Stage will present Mick Hargreaves and Grand Theft Aloha, Kyle Horn, and Craig Whitney at Duran’s on Friday, February 24, around 9 PM.

astrology & all Week of 2/1/17-2/8/17 Highlights of the week:

Venus enters the feisty sign of Aries on Friday and along with Mars (planet of action and sexual energy) we may start to feel more enthusiastic about love and work.

Jupiter (planet of expansion and enthusiasm) starts to go retrograde on Monday. Since it is in the sign of Libra and will be moving backward until June, we may revisit old relationship territory or renegotiate our relationship to the outside world. Mercury (planet of expression) enters Aquarius on Tuesday releasing us from the deep sentiment of Pisces and we begin to see things somewhat more clearly. We become chatty, too.

ARIES (3/20 - 4/20) You may be feeling ready to go with excess energy as Mars and Venus are stimulating you to action. A creative approach to love, work, or life in general is attractive

It might be the time to launch a pet project around the home or have a beauty makeover.

TAURUS (4/20 - 5/20) Feeling like you want to curl up by the home fires?

You will find comfort in the company of close friends and family. It’s a great time to rethink diet and exercise so when spring arrives, you will be ready.

VIRGO (8/23 - 9/23) Time to review your diet if you have gotten off track. Look into ways to enhance your health on all levels to feel better.

Is romance on the horizon? Only if you want it.

AQUARIUS (1/20 - 2/19) Feeling more positive? You may have a renewed sense of confidence as your popularity soars. All relationships should be running smoothly, so take advantage of the good times.

GEMINI (5/21 - 6/21) Extra busy with travel plans, business plans, or even planning a much needed vacation. You will be called on by friends and neighbors to share the news, so keep your ears open to something surprising. Be sure to get some rest.

Union Cantina

week we opted to hold off on the tequila bar and stick with a set of mimosas.

They happen to be two-for-one on Sundays.

We shared a few dishes, starting with the avocado and hearts of palm salad, which include sweet corn, grape tomatoes, and an oregano lime vinaigrette. It was a welcoming, light start to our meal with naturally delicious flavors.

Next up was the taco trio, where diners can choose three tacos off the taco menu. We decided on the pollo tirada (chicken) taco which included black beans, corn, tomato salsa, and quest blanco. The pargo (red snapper) taco was Caribbean spiced and included cucumber pico de gallo and black beans. The vientre de cerdo (pork belly) taco rounded out the trio with jicama slaw and tomatillo salsa.

All three tacos were delicious morsels of goodness.

It’s an optimal dish to order if you

Owners of the Southampton Social Club Ian Duke and David Hilty opened Union Cantina in Summer 2016. Social Club’s Executive Chef Scott Kampf has created an innovative modern Mexican menu in the former Southampton Publick House space in Southampton.

Chef Kampf has been featured on the legendary television show “Iron Chefs of America” and brings his farmto-table style to the new eatery.

Union Cantina, which features a 400 Rabbits Tequila Bar, is reminiscent of a prohibition-era speakeasy. The tequila bar carries over 100 types of tequila adding to the unique signature cocktail menu consisting of sangrias, punches, and frozen drinks. Try the Black & Blue ‘Rita which includes Don Julio anejo tequila, fresh blue and blackberry puree, cherries, and lime sour, served on the rocks.

Since it was brunch time when my friend and I visited Union Cantina last

want to try out a few of the tacos on the menu or can’t commit to just one dish.

We finished with the marinated aracherras (skirt steak) quesadillas made with a Mexican cheese blend, black beans, and salsa vera cruz, served with quacamole, pico de Gallo, and sour cream.

Also on the menu, the deconstructed enchiladas are a Union Cantina specialty. They offer a variation suited for all appetites including the marinated aracherras, the robalo rayados (striped bass), the picante camrones (spicy shrimp), the pollo tirada (pulled chicken), and vegetales (vegetables).

Desserts include Mexican specialties such as churros, tres leches cake, and sweet plantain fritters.

Ever ything we ordered was executed simply and wonderfully. And we can’t wait to go back and try out the tequila. Union Cantina’s festive atmosphere makes it a perfect place to go with family, a group of friends, or on a date.

Crispy Fish Tacos With Pineapple Chutney, Carrot, And Radish Ingredients (serves 4) 1 ½ lb mahi mahi fillet 1 cup all purpose flour 2 c Panko breadcrumbs 4 eggs (whisked) 1 pineapple (trimmed and rough chopped) 1 jalapeño 3 tbsp mayonnaise 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning 1 white onion 1 bunch of cilantro 1 head of Bibb lettuce 1 tsp turmeric 1 tbsp curry powder 3 limes 4 corn tortillas ½ c radish (thinly sliced) 2 carrots (peeled and thinly sliced) 4 c canola oil salt and pepper to taste

Method To begin this recipe you want to

slice four and a half inch thick strips of the mahi mahi. Bread each one by dusting each slice in the seasoned all purpose flour, then dipping in the whisked egg, and finally coating each in the seasoned Panko bread crumbs. When you have finished breading the fish, set them in the refrigerator until you are ready to fry them.

To make the pineapple chutney, start by sweating chopped onion and jalapeno over medium high heat with a little bit of oil. When they have become soft and translucent add the pineapple and turmeric then cover and cook over medium heat for another 10 minutes.

Add the entire mixture to the food processor along with half the bunch of cilantro and pulse the mixture four or five times until everything has become nicely incorporated.

the refrigerator to cool.

Heat the four cups of canola oil to 350 degrees in a large enough pot that the oil only fills it half way. While the oil is heating, dress the thinly sliced carrots and radish by simply mixing the juice of one lime with the mayonnaise and the Old Bay seasoning. Toss the vegetables in the dressing.

When the oil is hot, fry the fish for about three minutes or until it

becomes golden brown and floats on top of the hot oil. Place the fish on a towel. Once it is cooked you can assemble the tacos.

Heat each tortilla over an open flame. Spread a healthy portion of the pineapple chutney over the tortilla. Place a large leaf of Bibb lettuce over the chutney followed by the fish. Fold the taco and top with the radish and carrot. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and enjoy.

During every February since 1976, we celebrate National African American History Month, an occasion to remember the contributions made by African-Americans in countless aspects of American life.

It’s also a time for somber reflection. We honor those who dedicated themselves to the pursuit of equality in the face of racial hatred and violence in order to move our nation closer to our founding principle that we are all created equal. Some, like the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Medgar Evers, ultimately gave their lives in the long struggle for justice.

From the 19th-century abolition movement to the civil rights movement which continues today, New York State has played an integral role in the fight for equality and justice. After escaping from slavery herself, Harriet Tubman became one of the most prominent leaders of the Underground Railroad, making New York an important stop and helping hundreds of slaves escape their captors.

What many don’t know, however, is that during the Civil War, Tubman led a contingent of black Union soldiers in a raid to rescue hundreds of fugitive slaves along the Combahee River in South Carolina. The raid relied heavily on Tubman’s knowledge of Confederate torpedo placement along the river, which allowed Union ships to navigate these treacherous waters unharmed.

Tubman eventually made Auburn, New York, her home, and her house now serves as a museum honoring her legacy.

Another pioneering New Yorker, who pushed the cause of equality forward about a hundred years after Tubman, is Shirley Chisholm.

Chisholm was born in Brooklyn in 1924 and served in the state Assembly from 1964 to 1968 before being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. She was the first African-American woman elected

View our Pic Paper edition at

www.indyeastend.com

to Congress and won re-election six times. In 1972, Chisholm again made history when she announced her candidacy for president, the first woman and the first AfricanAmerican to do so. Though her bid was unsuccessful, Chisholm helped pave the way for Jesse Jackson’s campaign in 1984 and, of course, former President Obama’s election in 2008.

In addition to celebrating these courageous and selfless leaders of the past, we must also focus on the present. The divisiveness sown by the recent presidential election has shown us yet again that our nation is still struggling to overcome ignorance and hate. As we move forward into an uncertain future, we can’t allow the progress of national heroes like Dr. King to be squandered in the face of adversity. Now is the time to stand together and continue our march toward equality.

The Assembly will continue to fight for the issues that have long been at the forefront of our progressive agenda - the issues that serve as the pillars of equality. We will push to invest in quality public education, help make a college degree accessible and affordable for all, make it easier for businesses to create good-paying jobs and ensure our criminal justice system treats everyone fairly so that each and every New Yorker has the opportunity for a good life.

As we face these trying times, I’m reminded of moving quotes from African-American leaders.

W.E.B. Du Bois said, “The battle for humanity is not lost or losing... The morning breaks over blood-stained hills. We must not falter, we may not shrink. [For] above are the everlasting stars.”

Coretta Scott King declared, “Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.” And former President Obama said, “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

So this February, I encourage all of you to recommit yourselves to the fight for equality and the pursuit of justice. We must always remember where we’ve been and, more importantly, where we must go.

Twitter suffered initially from its relative complexity, at least measured against its competitors.

According to Brandwatch only about half the people who signed on for Twitter accounts actually use them. About 44 percent never sent out a single tweet.

Twitter is much more popular in other countries than it is in the United States. About 83 percent of world leaders have accounts, a staggering amount for a person like Trump with political aspirations.

Journalists make up 24.6 percent of verified accounts, and 65.8 percent of US companies with 100 or more employees use Twitter for marketing.

H a m p to n Bays E l e m e n ta r y Sc h o o l kindergartners learned about the animals that live at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge during an in-school visit last Friday.

To teach seventh-grade students never to judge a book by its cover, Westhampton Beach Middle School critical literacy teacher Camille Pedersen held Blind Date with a Book last week. The event is part of her Literacy Café project, which introduces students to a variety of book genres. Students had the opportunity to read excerpts from books that Ms. Pedersen wrapped in plain brown paper.

Hampton Bays Middle School students used pool noodles in a study of chromosomes.

Word Up!

On Wednesday, February 8, at 7 PM at Guild Hall in East Hampton, Montauk School presents “Word Up! A MIDDLE SCHOOL CELEBRATION OF POETRY.” Professional poets have guided Montauk eighth grade students in creating, revising, and presenting their own original works of poetry. The students will read their poems, as well as selected poems by published poets, and present memorized works and fellow students’ poems.

The evening is free, but reservations are required. Visit the Guild Hall website or call 631324-0806 to save your seat.

Insight

In 1883 American poet Emma Lazarus, a native New Yorker, wrote a poem to raise money for the building of the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal. It’s inscribed on a plaque inside Lady Liberty.

This week seems like a good time to reflect on her words.

The New Colossus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Independent VOICES

Fake News

Dear Editor, The phrase “History repeats itself” is more than a cliché; for the astute citizen it’s happening right now in the good old U.S.A. The January 17th issue of the Independent reported extensively about an attack on our freedom, and had an excellent article by Rick Murphy entitled “The Furor Over Fake News Is Real.” It was an exceptional article that exposes

the secrecy of our government, that’s right government secrecy right here at home trying to hide a controversial piece of legislation into a major military appropriations bill at a late night session on the 23rd of December, 2016.

Any legislation that threatens your right to “free speech” should be considered out in the open and in the pure light of democratic freedom, not passed in some sleazy special session. More and more, under the guise of protecting you from the bad guys, the government will determine what’s good for you to read.

In countries like Russia, and World War II Germany that is called censorship or propaganda. Every journalist, clergy

By Ed Gifford person, and citizen should demand a review of this legislation because it threatens your First Amendment Right of free speech. Our legislators passed this law in a sneaky way, without a full public debate and The Independent did

us a public service by exposing this action.

Now it’s up to you to write or call your congressman or senator and tell them you want “Fake News” legislation reconsidered.

Which Oscar nominated films have you seen?

Elaine Lipman Manchester By The Sea was a terrific movie and the ending was especially wonderful because, like life, it showed that things don’t always turn out the way you think they will.

More Fake News Dear Rick, Thank you for your true journalism on your several articles on fake news last week. Keep up the good work.

RIP, MTM Dear Editor, Mary Tyler Moore will be missed for both her comedic genius and her ceaseless compassion for animals.

Mary was one of the first stars to have a change of heart about fur, donating her $112,000 sable coat to PETA to use in protests. She famously helped PETA free a 65-year-old lobster from a restaurant back into the ocean, and hosted PETA’s video exposé of the horse abuse involved in making the drug, Premarin.

A longtime vegetarian, she once said, “I’m convinced, with heightened awareness, that there will come a time when we look back and say, ‘Can you believe that people used to eat animals?’ A human being has been given an intellect to make choices, and we know there are other food sources that do not require the killing of a creature that would protest being killed.”

As a tribute to this extraordinary woman, learn more about how you can live an animal-friendly lifestyle at www.

PETA.org.

Christopher Lockhart Moonlight, La La Land and Hidden Figures.

Three wonderful movies.But I think it might be Moonlight that might be most likely to win. It was just so unexpected so left or right of center. And the cinematography was beautiful, the script was written beautifully it was acted beautifully.

Linda Ruel The Hunt For The Wilder People should’ve been nominated. It was such a good movie.

Very truthful and the performances were fantastic. Mr. Church with Eddie Murphy should’ve been nominated too. He played it so low keyed and with such nuance. It was an elegant and thoughtful movie.

Barrie Silver Manchester By The Sea and Hidden Figures were my favorites. I also saw La La Land but other than the first number it was very disappointing. I thought it would be an overthe-top Hollywood musical and it really wasn’t.

Workers remove copper beech trees from the famed White House on Woods Lane in East Hampton. Last month’s nor-easter whipped up winds that sent a tree branch into a fence at the local touchstone.

By Kitty Merrill

Their personal stor y could provide hope for lonely singles.

Their professional one is all about providing comfort and relief for families caring for elderly loved ones.

Jennie Holman and Erwin Gruber met on match.com in March of 2014. “It was a very serendipitous

meeting,” Holman allowed, seated next to her partner in a pristine office space in Jamesport.

A New York City realtor by trade Holman was renovating an 1820s farmhouse in Cutchogue when she was contacted by Gruber via the online dating site. His location was listed as Austria and Holman was wary. It turned out, however, that he lived just two miles away from

Holman’s parents lived in Mattituck since 1969, and Holman attended elementary school there

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.

before moving to Manhattan. With her parents aging and moving to the North Fork year round, Holman wanted to be closer to them.

Meanwhile Gruber, who grew up in Salsberg, Austria, was a consultant whose career took him to China before he landed on Long Island and made a home on the North Fork.

As their relationship blossomed, the couple considered going into a business together. They looked at multiple business ideas, but they always seemed like the workload would unevenly match their skills, with Holman pulling all the weight in one field or Gruber doing the lion’s share in another.

A friend introduced Holman to the Senior Helpers franchise, she recalled, and “It just clicked.”

Founded in 2001, Senior Helpers is one of the nation’s premier providers of personalized inhome senior care. “It’s a feel good business,” said Gruber. “You go home in the evening and you made a difference.”

Holman marveled, “If you asked me a year ago if I’d get into health care, I would have said not in a million years.” But the pair found their niche, operating out of a quaint country cottage on the Main Road.

Senior Helpers, which officially opened in December, is “laserfocused on making seniors not only stay in their homes, but age with dignity,” Holman explained.

“We try our best to make seniors more independent rather than dependent. . . and we expected to like this, but we never expected to absolutely love it.”

With Southold Town listed number five in the state in terms of senior population, the need is great. “There’s a huge, huge need out here, on both the North and South Forks,” Gruber said.

As soon as the pair opened their doors, he said, “There was such a flood, it was overwhelming.” Senior Continued on Page 37.

Love & Business Continued from page 36.

Helpers hopes to bring 50 new jobs to the region in the coming year and serve clients from Patchogue to Orient and Montauk.

Shelter Island is crying out for their service, Gruber informed. He and Holman hope to bring a pilot program there, with caregivers who live on the island taking care of residents there.

But the two won’t hire just anybody, nor match seniors with aides heedlessly. Caregivers are put through a rigorous training program and Holman meets with each senior and family to develop an individualized plan. She’ll set up an appointment at the office to start, then will visit the family in the senior’s home before creating a plan. “We’ll figure out what we can do creatively to keep the client

stimulated. If a senior suffers from Alzheimer’s we want to figure out how to keep the symptoms at a plateau . . . Every client is different and has a different plan.”

Matching a caregiver and client is a careful and thoughtful process, Holman said. “We have to match personalities and skill sets to the needs of clients,” she explained, telling the story of a caregiver who recently introduced a client to yoga.

Once the match is made, Holman makes the introduction personally.

“Never ever ever on our watch does a stranger show up. That’s just not acceptable.”

Hiring is “happening every day,” Gruber reported. “We never have enough caregivers. We want to recruit the best people, and make sure they are happy about what they’re doing on a daily basis.”

While the senior is the client, his or her family members are

clients as well. “It’s enormously satisfying to be able to say ‘I can help you,’” Gruber related. “We can always figure out a way to make our clients’ lives better and that offers them a great sense of relief.”

Noting that family caregivers and others in the industry often suffer burn out, Holman said that even though their service runs 24/7, “I don’t think we’ll burn out.”

The amount of gratitude the pair receives from clients for the sense of relief they provide offsets any exhaustion they feel getting Senior Helpers established.

Teams Scurry As Playoffs Loom

Nae’Jon Ward isn’t even five foot tall but his presence looms large in Bridgehampton’s title run.

By Rick Murphy

There are seven or eight teams good enough to take the Suffolk County Class A title.

Southampton, the perennial Class B champion, has been moved up in class, but you won’t catch the Mariners crying in their almond milk. What you will find is them winning – as usual.

Southampton is 12-2 overall as of this writing and with an 8-2 League VI mark. That puts the locals in second place, nestled behind

IN THE NEWS

Wyandanch (10-1 in the league, 13-3 overall) and a game up on Bayport/ Blue Point (7-4). Glenn, 6-4 in the league and 8-8 overall, could also factor into the seedings.

But it’s more complicated than that. League V is also a Class A league, and that means Harborfields, (9-1, 14-2) and Amityville (9-1, 12-3) are in the hunt for the first seed come playoff time. Sayville, (7-3, 10-6) also lurks.

The Mariners were scheduled to play Bayport/Blue Point yesterday and get Glenn on the road tomorrow.

The locals would like nothing better than to win all four remaining games and put the heat on the league leaders, maybe even snaring a top three seed. Harborfields and Amityville square off Tuesday with the Class A overall seed possibly on the line – Amityville nipped Wyandanch in an interleague game earlier this season.

In League VIII the playoff seedings are crystallizing. Bridgehampton (7-1 in league play, 10-5 overall) has a clear path to the State Class D playoffs, having vanquished Shelter Island, its only rival.

Pierson, a Class C team, is playing as well as anyone of late, having reeled off three straight wins. The Whalers evened their overall record at 7-7 and moved to 5-2 in league play by winning three games last week.

On Friday, playing in Sag Harbor,

Pierson overcame 24 points from Pat McFarland to beat Southold, 63-54.

Will Martin led all scorers with 25 points and Spencer Chase added 14.

Sean Sloane had 10 for the winners.

Last Wednesday the Whalers ferried over to Shelter Island and took care of the Indians, 79-34.

Sloane, on fire, had 28 in that one and Martin chipped in with 26. The final was a comfortable 79-34.

Two days earlier Pierson, the host team, knocked off the Ross School

69-53. Martin had all scorers with 27, Sloane added 17 and Tom Brooks had 11.

Pierson plays at Stony Brook today and will get Bridgehampton at home Friday. Tip off is 6:15 PM. The Mattituck Lady Tuckers, the defending Suffolk Class B champs, have already earned the top seed in their quest for a repeat. They are 13-0 in League VII and 15-1 overall.

Port Jefferson has a leg up on the Class C top seed with a 13-3 mark for the season. Pierson/ Bridgehampton (6-4, 10-4) had been saddled with injury trouble but will compete for the Class C title.

Locals Among Suffolk’s Highest Scorers

By Rick Murphy

Local hoop fans know all about Mattituck’s Liz Dwyer – she led the Lady Tuckers to the Suffolk County Class B title as a junior and was among the highest scorers in the county.

She’s not done yet.

Once again Mattituck is set to contend for a trip to the state

tournament, and once again Dwyer, who scored her 1000th career point in December, 2015, is pouring in a ton of points again this season.

Thus far she is sixth in Suffolk with an average of 22.9 points per game after going off for a season high 33 against Babylon on January 24. Dwyer, who stands 5’10”, is also averaging nearly 10 rebounds per

Play Bridge One of the things that makes bridge such an exciting game is the wide variety of hands that any one player can pick up. Each player picks up 13 cards. The chance of getting that specific hand is 1 out of 365 billion.

However, certain types of hands occur much more frequently than others. For example, a player expects to see hands that have one or more cards in each suit. He is not that surprised to be missing one suit but would be surprised to be missing two suits as North is in today’s deal.

Not only is North’s hand highly unlikely because it is two suited, but is an extremely powerful playing hand in a contract of 6 or 7 hearts or spades. My partner, Larry Hillel as North, was delighted to hear me open the bidding for our team at the Water Mill Bridge Club.

The rest of the bidding was fairly straightforward. His 4N bid asked me how many of the top 5 cards I held (4 aces and the king of trumps).

I assumed that he was planning to play with spades as the trump suit and was more than a little surprised when he bid 7H. I thought

game.

Mackenzie Tyler is only fivethree, but the junior guard from Hampton Bays knows her way to the basket.

Tyler, only a junior, is currently 11th in the county, averaging 19.2 points per game. The youngster is on a roll of late, totaling 85 points in the last three games.

Pierson/Bridgehampton’s Nia Dawson is 16th in scoring with 18 ppg.

Wya nd a nc h ’ s ph eno m ena l shooting guard Kashawn Charles is leading all boys, averaging 30.3 points per game. Pierson’s Will Martin, only a junior, is fourth with a 25.6 mark including a season high 36 against Stony Brook on January 13.

Southold’s Pat McFarland, a 6-0 senior, is seventh with 23 ppg and he’s drilled 50 three-

pointers, the third highest total in Suffolk. In consecutive games earlier this month he hit for 37 against Bridgehampton and 35 against Greenport.

It’s been a challenging year for Westhampton but guard Jake Gaudiello has been lighting it up to the tune of 21.7 ppg, ninth in Suffolk.

Bridgehampton, thought to be in rebuilding mode, has been the surprise of League VIII thanks in part to the sophomore J.P. Harding, who has come out of nowhere to average 20 points, the 11th best total in the county, and also snare a boatload of rebounds despite the fact he is only a hair above six-feet tall.

Ahkee Anderson also cracked the county top 20 list with a 19.5 average.

Masterpiece Cleaning Keeping homes sparkly-clean for over twenty years.

Southampton to Montauk he must have made a mistake and so I corrected to 7 spades. With his two voids, and a 3-3 split in hearts along with my king of spades, the hand was easy to play, making seven. We were the only team to bid the grand slam.
