with Larry Spiro These are my favorite English and American winter poems written through the ages. These poems, like winter, provoke thought and introspection.
Wynter wakeneth al my care Anonymous
Wynter wakeneth al my care, Nou this leves waxeth bare; Ofte I sike ant mourne sare When hit cometh in my thoht Of this worldes joie, hou hit goth al to noht… Thomas Hardy, ‘The Darkling Thrush‘.
I leant upon a coppice gate, When Frost was spectre-gray, And Winter’s dregs made desolate The weakening eye of day. The tangled bine-stems scored the sky Like strings of broken lyres, And all mankind that haunted nigh Had sought their household fires… Emily Dickinson, ‘It sifts from leaden sieves‘. It reaches to the fence, It wraps it, rail by rail, Till it is lost in fleeces; It flings a crystal veil On stump and stack and stem, — The summer’s empty room, Acres of seams where harvests were, Recordless, but for them…
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.
velop yourself more strategically. At the end of the month, Mars will be passing into the sign of Capricorn. This aspect will help everyone to increase our ability to concentrate.
January 2022 Happy New Year! This New Year, we gain more support from the Universe, with powerful tools and resources aplenty. In addition, Jupiter will be transiting through Pisces for the first quarter. So January 2022 starts excellent, helping us to move forward. Venus will be retrograding for a short period to help us understand how to relate to each other better since 2020 took a toll on us emotionally. We will all be clearing ourselves mentally and emotionally. The main focus will be thinning out our relationships—a winter of cleaning out people and situations that do not work anymore. Also, we can all see who are real friends and support circles(after 2020). We all need to take our time, plan out our objectives, and strategically set the path for the new news. Remember not to act out of emotions and put forth our intentions on a mental level. Success awaits those who will correctly use the solar aspect, enhancing determination, assertiveness, and diligence. Short mini trips out of town or long walks will be successful. In the middle of the month, there is an increase in ambition and a desire to improve professional skills. However, it is not advisable to start essential projects after the 16th because Mercury will move backward, creating difficulties. At the same time, it is helpful to free yourself from constraining mental attitudes, to work on speech and communication style. There will be a full Moon on Monday, January 17, 2022. This full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because they heard wolves howling more at this time. Everyone thought the wolves howled because they were hungry because of the harsh winters. We know now that wolves howl for many reasons, one being to mark their territory. This Full Moon will bring the most significant change of the year. Everyone around us will be reassessing their lives socially and "marking their territories, and field of visions." This January is all about modification, excitement, and unpredictability– specifically in partnerships. Venus opposite Uranus concentrates the adjustment and unpredictability of love relationships yet also your funds. It turns unforeseen changes into opportunities as well as partnership unpredictability into reassurance as well as dedication. There will be a desire for change. But, instead, focus on thinking outside the usual realm, and de6 ~ Winter 2022 ~ The Montauk Sun
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) — Happy birthday, Capricorn! There is a difference between being assertive as compared to being too pushy. Relax more with relationships and let them take the reins. You will find that your life will run more smoothly by just asking others for what you want. A chance encounter could lead to a new love interest. Pursuing a new love interest is recommended over dwelling over the past. Aquarius (January 21 – February 19) — The longawaited promotion will happen sooner than you think. Enjoy the moment. Past clients prove to be powerful alliances. Cultivate your ties with them. You will shine under stress if you take the time to get organized. An intriguing acquaintance quickly becomes a friend. You will see that you both have a lot to learn from one another. You both have ingenious ways of collaborating on getting projects done at work. Pisces (February 20 – March 20) — Investment matters finally make it through the red tape. You need to pay special attention to personal issues. Step back, be objective, and ask yourself if it is just a coincidence or are you both soul mates? Your priorities will shift; don't feel bad if you realize that something that used to be important isn't a big deal anymore. You are also due for a raise at work shortly. Finally, take more time for your social life. You might meet the love of your life through a friend of a friend or a coworker. Aries (March 21 – April 20) — Social stir could be confusing this week. Keep an open mind. Things are not always what they seem. Winning love and commitment from another requires a clear mind. Two love interests are trying to capture your attention. Quality time with a worthy mate has more merit than spending time with people that are not on your level. Taurus (April 21 – May 21) — Knowing what you want and how to get it is where your power is. Use this knowledge to venture out. Do not accept the current situation. You are worth more, and you know it. Learn to let go of your impatience and let things happen naturally. Accept more responsibility with your relationships. Someone who has been a source of comfort and encouragement may need a shoulder to cry on.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21) — Whether spoken or written, your words can captivate and enlighten others. This ability will help your career. Your ambition is on a high note this week. Push forward. You tend to make your best decisions from flashes of insight and inspiration. You need to restructure your life, and in the process, you will make the critical decision about a love relationship. Keep
My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
Winter: Lawrence Spiro
Night walks from dusk towards shivering stars. The stroll is slow and long with crisp snaps broken ice and clawing clutching wind. Darkness drips, seeps, freeze dragging slowly retired dawn reeling to awake. Greyred blaze ignites the fleeting day hours, seem minutes, minute second deepblack chrystalize then starts over. Night walks from dusk towards shivering stars.
your mind clear and live your life for yourself and not for others. Use this time to go on interviews. Show others that you mean business. Enthusiasm makes all the difference in getting what you want. A love relationship may also develop into something worthwhile.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22) — Your career develops into a more creative one. You will find yourself in the front lines more. Doing presentations helps to give you a new image of your title. Trivial matters can be potentially time-consuming and damaging to the relationship. However, you can problem solve your way out of these problems in a snap. A whole new social circle brings you into its fold. You come off as knowledgeable and helpful, and they offer insights into the mix. Your boss appreciates your team building and pays attention to you more. Leo (July 23 – August 23) — Your career has become less demanding. A new group of friends helps loosen you up. Your ability to present yourself as mysterious will help attract others. A secret romance may be present. A possible romance can bloom before the end of the month. What had not been evident to you may finally be revealed, including an attraction you denied even to yourself. Shared passion with your lover strengthens your long-term relationship.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22) — It's time for a new you. For quite a while, you have been out of touch with yourself. Alterations are vital. They want to help, but they have to know what you need before they can provide it. Immerse yourself in your work and keep your mood upbeat. This way, you can come up with new ideas. Your head still needs cleaning out. Tempering oneself is essential for the next week. Business ventures that you looked at last year will not be what you thought. A new business opportunity is knocking. This is an excellent time to discuss finances with your partner.
Libra (September 23 – October 22) — Explore new business, and get out of your rut. You can profit if you are willing to be patient with financial ventures and invest long-term. Take the opportunity to make changes in your home environment. Invest some money in family endeavors. Try not to have doubts about a relationship. This week is good for money matters. Focus on improving an existing financial outlet rather than start on something new. Your personable nature will help in cultivating longterm relationships. Spend more time socializing. Friends you make now will bring luck your way shortly. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) — Steal moments to unwind more. Try to plan a weekend getaway to help to chill out. Daydreaming and creating fantasies can help to stimulate you. These illusions can be just the needed thing to keep you inspired. Cut the ties that bind. Keep your mind clear. A stressful situation is over, so you can finally stabilize a love relationship. Continued on Next Page

Armchair Travel Book Club with Carolyn on ZOOM email cbalducci@montauklibrary.org for Zoom link Notes on a Foreign Country: An American Abroad in a Post-American World by Suzy Hansen Tuesday, January 18: 4:00pm to 5:30pm In the wake of the September 11 attacks and the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, journalist Suzy Hansen moved to Istanbul in order to try to understand the Muslim. Over the course of years in Turkey and traveling through Greece, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Iran, she learned a great deal about these countries and their cultures. But the greatest, most unsettling surprise would be what she learned about her own country. Blending memoir, journalism, and history, and deeply attuned to the voices of those she met on her travels, Notes on a Foreign Country is a moving reflection on America’s place in the world in an era of turmoil. "A deeply honest and brave portrait of of an individual sensibility reckoning with her country's violent role in the world." ― Hisham Matar, The New York Times Book Review Overseas Press Club of America's Cornelius Ryan Award, Winner • Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction, Finalist • New York Times Book Review Notable Book • Best Book of the Year by New York Magazine and The Progressive

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 22) — Your sense of humor has a way of pulling you out of trying times. Try not to be so heavy and deeply philosophical in regards to relationships. Your partner may seem standoffish at first but will still be supportive. A family member has wise romantic advice. You are also due for a raise at work shortly. Finally, take more time for your social life. You might meet the love of your life through a friend of a friend or a coworker.
February 2022
February 2022 should focus on self-being, on all aspects of our lives. In areas of the world where February brings harsh cold weather, use this time to clean out what does not suit us anymore. Please donate to the VA; they will come and pick up items in plastic bags on your lawn. However, everyone should follow suit to focus on humanitarian efforts since many people are struggling. Like how bears go into their caves for hibernation, everyone should use this time as a spiritual, physical, emotional hibernation reset. This time will allow us to focus on your goals and our intentions. That is why the clearing out will help everyone. Hard work will pay off. February can be a harsh month for many; focusing on a reset can help to refocus ourselves from negative thoughts and actions. There will be unlimited possibilities and new beginnings in all aspects of our lives. The focus is on bettering ourselves mentally, spiritually emotionally. Being more progressive thinkers is vital for all, and focusing on using common sense seems to have vanished recently. Revitalize ourselves through experiences that are new and different. Try reaching out to people in our social circle and our community. Pay special attention to revamping your careers and rebranding. Uranus will be prominent with Taurus; this force between the two will give us the needed inherent convictions to manifest the energy and power to accomplish our life's goals. There will be a New Moon in Aquarius on February 1, 2022. New Moons are the beginning of a new cycle; use this day to set your intentions. This New Moon is in Aquarius. Use the time to focus on relationships group settings (meet-ups). Aquarius is a powerful energy, and we should all use this to make out-of-the-box advances in our lives.

Emma Bovary, wife of a dull doctor in northern France, harbors a passion for everything beyond her grasp—sophistication, romance, love, and deliverance from her banal provincial life. And with each new endeavor, Emma sets for herself an inevitable and inescapable trap. Emma stands as one of fiction’s most famous figures. The novel’s subversion of conventional moral norms inevitably created controversy and eventually led to Flaubert’s prosecution by the French government on charges of offending "public and religious morality."

February's Full Moon: There will be a Full Moon on February 16, 2022. February is usually the snowiest month in the United States. Therefore, February’s Full Moon is commonly known as the Full Snow Moon. Native tribes named it after the way the trees cracked in the cold or how people had to sit shoulder to shoulder around the fire to keep warm. The Celts called this Moon of Ice. February is the coldest month of the year, Therefore, this Full Moon is classified as Purification and Renewal by the Lunar calendar. The Full Snow Moon is generally the first Full Moon of the year.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 19) — Happy Birthday, Aquarius! Be proud of your message. Maybe you're too late with it or aren't broadcasting loud enough. Still, there's nothing wrong with the content. Ignore others trying to embarrass you. They will look foolish. Yes, even stirring up competition or ill will means that you're having an effect, although it's not the one you want.
Toby Fleishman thought he knew what to expect when he and his wife of almost fifteen years separated. He could not have predicted that one day, Rachel would just drop their two children and not return.
A searing, utterly unvarnished debut, Fleishman Is in Trouble is insightful, unsettling, and often hilarious. Armchair Travel Book Group with Carolyn: Eat the Buddha by Barbara Demick Tuesday February 15, 4:00 - 5:30 pm for Zoom link email cbalducci@montauklibrary.org
Award-winning journalist Barbara Demick tells the story of a Tibetan town perched eleven thousand feet above sea level. Ngaba was one of the first places where the Tibetans and the Chinese Communists encountered one another. Eat the Buddha spans decades of modern Tibetan and Chinese history, as told through the eyes of Demick’s subjects. All face the same dilemma: resist the Chinese, or join them? Illuminating a culture that has long been romanticized by Westerners as deeply spiritual, Demick reveals what it is like to be a Tibetan in the twenty-first century. Her depiction is nuanced, unvarnished, and at times shocking. Books are available at the library; CD, Audio Books are available through www.Livebrary.com. thinking with a clear head.

Leo (July 23 – August 23) — You tend to end up in the role of counselor for many. Keep in mind that providing emotional or tactical support might be an enriching experience.

You have much energy and goodness to go around, so save these feelings for people who mean something to you.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21) — If you realized how much power you have over every situation, you'd worry less and accomplish more. Start with one change. See what follows, and find your unique way to make it matter. The stars are holding this window wide open.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 22) — You're unsure if you like what you see. You have a hard time believing your ears. This is where you learn about essence going beyond appearance. Trust begins with a handshake, so reach out and take hold of what's being offered to you.
Aries (March 21 – April 20) — You are about to experience real romance, more incredible passion, and more self-acceptance. Happiness is just ahead.

Marilyn Behan... Continued from Page 19
In 2001 with Marilyn and John at home, retired, she decided she needed a job. So, after telling Henry, “You need me!”, Marilyn joined the Uihlein family. For ten years, she worked at the Uihlein’s Marina and Hotel in Montauk; running everything from day-to-day office operations, to staff training, and billing. In addition to everything else, Marilyn Behan has a long history as a volunteer with the Montauk Friends of Erin. As a matter of fact, she told me that she’s a bit concerned about the boys. While speaking with me about being the Grand Marshal, she said, “I know those boys will get back at me now.” Not long after they moved to Montauk, she went to her first FOE gathering in the basement of the church; both her husband and his father were members. Some of the members’ wives were cooking corned beef and cabbage for after the parade. In the beginning, she remembers having one job that stands out, going to NYC to find
POETRY FOR MERI by Don Intonato
THE BLUE DORY 1
I am a ridiculous man. I cannot see my feet. My hair grows down to my waist. I have stopped waiting for visitors.
Ninety-one, I am the youngest on the floor. They turn out the lights here at 8:00. I get up to check the man in the hospital bed next to me to see if he’s sleeping or dead. He has not opened his eyes for days. I sit in my wheelchair by the window in the dark. 2
The dip of oars far out on the bay, the crank of oarlocks in the fog. Seventeen, I still don’t have an outboard. After a while, I stop rowing and ship the oars. I can barely see beyond the bow. I feel the first drops of rain on my face.
3 The girl, Katey Miller, my accomplice, in a white tee shirt and pink shorts, long legs and yellow-crayon hair, lies sunny-side up stretched across the mahogany seat in the stern, her freckled forearm folded lazily over her eyes.
4 When I was ten, to the amazement of my siblings and me, a nor-easter washed a storm-beaten dory up onto the front yard of our flat-faced house on Patersquash Creek.
One month passed, and after dinner on the 4th of July, all of us were out on the porch watching the fireworks starbursting over Fire Island, the dory still over on its keel like a beached pilot whale on the lawn. My father announced
26 ~ Winter 2022 ~ The Montauk Sun
‘Big Hats’ at a haberdashery for the ‘Big Heads’ that didn’t fit in a standard size! This was the start of her involvement, and she is still an active part of the group today. Her son’s Jason and Jack are also in the FOE- carrying on the family tradition. In 1988, John, with Marilyn’s help, decided to hold a St. Patrick’s Grand Marshal Luncheon to honor the outgoing Grand Marshal, as well as to welcome the new one. The first luncheon was held at Gurney’s Inn. It started as a luncheon for men only, all except for past Grand Marshal Mary Gosman and her guest, her daughter Roberta. Eventually Marilyn convinced John to open it up to women. She told him, they needed to liven it up by having the wives be a part of it. In 1990 Marilyn and some of the wives got involved; helping to organize, selling tickets and doing raffles. In addition to a roast, John and Marilyn also started the ‘skits’ poking fun at the Grand Marshal. It was a family effort, one year even the Behan boys got involved for Jimmy Hewitt’s luncheon. She and John ran the luncheon for years, and recently she volunteered to start doing it again- however COVID stopped that from happening. However, Marilyn and the Friends of Erin Ladies Auxiliary helped with many fundraising events
the family had salvage rights and gave the orphaned dory to me. “It’s yours boy,” he said, “If you can make it float.”
5 Katey Miller, I knew her since grade school, summered in the white shingled cottage up the block from the creek. Her family, Scotch-Irish from Queens, came out every year like clockwork, end of May to September, Katey and her bike, her music-teacher mother, two chain-smoking aunts, and a tabby tomcat that hated me and hissed when I knocked on her screen door. They had an upright piano in their living room, the only one in town. I never saw any men in the Miller’s cottage. My mother called Katey “trouble,” “tomboy,” “wild.”
Truth was, Katey never did talk much, but she was a hard worker and laughed at everything I said. She could do anything a boy could do. She always walked three steps ahead of me. 6 July came, and Katey and I painted the abandoned dory blue, hoisted on a pair of sawhorses, its curved cedar, shiplapped planks the blue of the summer sky. We scraped off the bottom barnacles and painted the hull marine red up to the water line.
We varnished the mahogany gunwales, stem and transom and seats. We painted the floorboard yellow, added a new set of brass oarlocks and a pair of white ash oars from the hardware store. My father said it was the most beautiful dory he ever saw.
over the years, including raising money for the parade with the infamous ‘Pub Quiz’. It's been a year since Marilyn lost her husband, and she seems to be doing wonderfully. Looking as beautiful as ever, and keeping busy with her kids- Bridget, Jason and Danielle, Jack and Nancy, and grandchildrenSamantha, Jack, Harry, Teddy and William. She told me she also loves fishing and baking. You can even sample some of her treats at Shagwong, as she is their dessert chef. With an infinite number of acquaintances, friends, and family members, Marilyn is a cherished member of the Montauk Community. Her years of dedication to her family and our community makes her a perfect choice for this years Grand Marshal. Marilyn’s daughter Bridget put it beautifully, “I am just thrilled to see my mom get this wonderful honor. I have watched her work so hard over the years planning and celebrating the past grand marshals’ festivities that this year should be nothing but fun for her, and I’m looking forward to watching her enjoy all the honor and glory of being Montauk’s 60th Grand Marshal.” Congratulations Marilyn and enjoy the festivities.
7 For the next six summers, Katey and I spent most days by ourselves, rowing the blue dory up the creeks and salt marshes of the Narrows and Great South Bay, swimming in the shallows off Fire Island, scooping blue crabs in the waving eel grass, spearfishing flounder on the edges of the sand bars. Some days we just laid back on the blue dory’s mahogany seats and drifted for miles in the channel current. 8 In the summer of 66, Katey didn’t arrive till the end of August, just her and her mother, minus her chain-smoking aunts. Though her hair was still cut short like a boy’s, Katey had gotten prettier and was now a half-foot taller than me. One night, my sister had a birthday party in our garage and Katey and I slow danced outside by ourselves on the lawn under the string lights. She rested her face on my shoulder. 9 The next afternoon we rowed the blue dory out across the channel to Patersquash, a tiny tidal island that belonged to no one, between Fire Island and the mainland, deserted except for a few deer and an abandoned duck hunter’s blind, its fine purple sand beaches our favorite place to swim or lie on a blanket listening to the radio.
We shored the blue dory and put a blanket on the purple sand. Then Katey and I kissed for the first time. We kissed for the rest of the afternoon.
10 The sun was already setting before we left Patersquash and we were halfway home when the fog rolled in off Fire Island, the channel current pulling us fast east towards Moriches Inlet and the Ocean. The tide changed and the current stopped. I could barely see my hands and shipped the oars.
Katey wrapped herself in a towel and crouched on the floorboards, holding her knees. Then it rained. It rained hard and cold.
11 Later that evening, the fog lifted and a search party from the marina found us drenched, sleeping on the floorboards in each other’s arms. My father in his Chris Craft tied a rope to the blue dory’s bow and towed us into shore.
The headlights from a dozen cars were shining on the bay. A crowd of curious neighbors had gathered laughing on the dock. My father tied the dory to the dock poles. My mother yanked me out of the boat by my ear.
12 Katey got pneumonia, Two days later, when I knocked on her screen door, her mother would not let me see her again. When Katey and her family left that summer, she did not say goodbye. 13 Sitting here in my wheelchair now, looking out the window at the night sky, I still wonder why Katey and I decided to kiss that day. The next year was 1967. All summer I looked for her on the blankets at the beach, at the bait shop where she worked, at the ice cream parlor at night.
I passed her house every day to see if her bike was in her driveway. The last evening before I left upstate to Harpur College, I was walking to our dock, oars on my shoulder, to take the blue dory out for one last evening row on the glassy bay.
Katey, in a white tee shirt and pink shorts, long legs and crayon-yellow hair, was standing at the end of the dock.
