Snow Far, Snow Good

Independent / James J. Mackin

The timing couldn’t have been better. Winter Storm Jonas slid in on Friday night and out by Sunday morning. While New York City saw near-historic snowfall (the second largest in history in Central Park, and beating records at both JFK and LaGuardia Airports) the East End was spared the worst of it. Jonas sent just over a foot our way, less than the predicted 18 inches.

Officials in most towns declared states of emergency and instituted driving bans during the climax of the storm. Local road crews, grizzled veterans who earned their stripes during last winter’s bitter bounty of blizzards, were out plowing through the night.

By Sunday morning, the sun was shining and kids sledding on local hills worked up a sweat, as grown-ups dug out.

Area schools had delayed starts on Monday morning, but no snow days in sight for the rest of the week.

The Edible School Gardens Program is, pardon the pun, growing.

Since its inception in 2008, the program has matured to include over 25 school districts here on the East End, stretching from Montauk on the South Fork, to Orient on the North Fork, and to points as far west as Eastport/South Manor. The mission? Reconnecting children and their families with real food.

The purpose behind ESG is to empower and inspire the

community to eat well, keeping in mind the need to build and share an edible education curriculum for students in kindergarten all the way through high school. The majority of the school districts involved have built greenhouses and sophisticated garden beds, with students able to explore and experience what real food is, where it comes from, and how to grow it.

“I’m a educator, but in the beginning I knew nothing about growing vegetables,” said Judiann Carmack-Fayyaz, a teacher at

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Students tend to East Hampton High School’s garden beds.

Bridgehampton High School and founder of the ESG program. “It started with a few individuals, predominantly parents and restaurant professionals, who wanted a more sustainable food supply. We decided it was better to share information with each other, forming a group, so we could move forward quicker. Shortly afterward, professional farmers came into the mix.”

Bridgehampton became the first school district to get the Edible School Gardens Program up and running, partly through the efforts of the Slow Food network.

And according to Carmack-Fayyaz, “It’s gotten pretty advanced at Bridgehampton.”

Students, staff, and parents till the soil year-round in the garden’s 30-feet by 36-feet heated greenhouse and 5000 square feet of outdoor gardens. About two years ago, a community garden was started at the Home of the Killer Bees to bring more community involvement to the garden, in addition to the school-run one. There’s also a very active parent group which assists in maintaining the garden. During the summer months, young farmers in kindergarten through sixth grade can participate in the Young Farmers Farm-To-Table initiative learning how to grow and prepare food on the farm and in the kitchen.

The produce from both the greenhouse and the gardens result in food served year-round in the school’s cafeteria and nutrition classes, plus it provides a great forum for discussions on environmental stewardships.

And it doesn’t stop in Bridgehampton.

The ESG program has sprung up in practically every school district here on the East End. For over a decade now, the East End Edible Schoolyard has been operating at the Hayground School, with a growing space including two gardens, one greenhouse, and a chicken coop. Currently, with ESG working in conjunction with the folks at Hayground, students are researching and designing a medicinal plant garden and a second greenhouse is being built.

The school cafeteria is supplied with produce on a near daily basis, and contributions from the garden are also being made to the Sag Harbor Food Pantry.

On the North Fork, Cutchogue Elementary School students and staff broke ground on a school garden in April 2014. Last fall, the garden program expanded to include a grow lab in the Elementary Science Lab, and an indoor growing classroom and outdoor greenhouse at the Mattituck High School.

Heater Sparks Temple Fire Last Thursday at approximately 8:20 AM, Southampton Town Police received a 911 call reporting a building located at 430 North Magee Street in Southampton was on fire. STPD along with the Southampton Town Fire Marshals, and the Southampton, North Sea, Sag Harbor and Hampton Bays Fire Departments responded to the scene.

The Padgett Temple was found ablaze and the fire departments were able to successfully extinguish the fire. In the course of fighting the fire, two volunteer firefighters suffered injuries. One firefighter fell partially through the floor of the temple and another slipped and fell on the ice. Southampton Volunteer Ambulance transported them to Southampton Hospital where they were treated and released.

The investigation revealed that a portable heater was in use at the time of the fire and the fire appears electrical in nature. The investigation is still ongoing and Detectives ask that anyone with information call the Southampton Town Detectives at 631-702-2230.

Approximately one-third of all house fires nationwide happen during the cold home-heating months between December and February. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), equipment that is intended to add a little extra warmth, such as space heaters, is the leading cause of these fires.

Town police offered the following safety reminders: • Purchase only space heaters that have been safety tested and UL approved.

• Make sure the unit is equipped with an emergency tip- over shut-off feature and heating element guards.

• Before using a space heater, make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in good working condition.

• Check to make sure the heater is clean and in good condition.

• Place heater out of high-traffic areas and on a level, hard, non-

How Do I . . . ?

Say you’re barreling along snow covered backroads in your big black F350 and you roll up on a puny Toyota trundling along at 10 MPH below the posted speed limit. Guess which driver is the punk – the person in the big heavy truck, or the slowpoke in the economy car?

It’s you, leadfoot.

According to Robert Sinclair, spokesman for AAA, the most important safety measure motorists can take on snow-covered roads is slowing down. It takes nine times longer for a car to stop in icy conditions than on a dry surface. Nine times.

Beyond keeping your speed down, Sinclair recommends increasing the distance between you and the car in front, known as the following distance.

Don’t stop on hills, and if you can help it, don’t stop at all. Ice impedes traction, so the best bet is slow and steady, with no sudden stops, acceleration, or turns.

Crash rates are highest during the first snow of the winter, Sinclair informed, and 46 percent of all crashes happen during this season nationally.

With Jonas under our belts, we’ve still got weeks to go. So, hey. Let’s be careful out there.

And quit beeping at the old lady in the Echo; I’m driving snow safe.

flammable floor surface -- NOT on carpets, furniture or countertops.

• Remember to keep space heaters at least three feet from combustible liquids like fuel, spray cans and paint, as well as flammable items such as draperies, blankets and sofas.

• Do not overload circuits. Never use extension cords or multiple plugs with a space heater, and make sure the unit is not plugged into the same circuit as other electric appliances.

• Never leave space heaters unattended. Turn off your space heater and unplug it before leaving the room or going to bed.

• Replace older space heaters with newer, safer models.

MY ANNUAL WHINING COLUMN

I can’t remember a new year when I’ve been as bummed out as this one.

Everything is going wrong!

The thought of Trump, Cruz, or Bernie Sanders as our next president gives me the willies.

Trump? We’re talking early Hitler stuff here.

Cruz? He’s a fascist dick who would, like Trump, destroy the country.

Sanders? Another Commie, pinko, bedwetting freak. Once elected, sooner or later Sanders will decree that couples who work hard to earn $50,000 or more a year should be put into internment camps and their property given away to the poor. Sanders is Bill de Blasio on steroids.

Hillary, who will probably get elected over those three buffoons, may not be able to stay out of the pokey since the FBI is after her. Could she be president while serving time? You know, a work release program? Four days in the White House, three days at the Danbury prison in Connecticut?

We could do worse.

Trust me, it’s far better than what we have now. Plus, I’m calling on Hillary to publicly divorce Bill and win back the women’s vote.

Here’s how it works: She comes on television, and in the background a band is playing “Stand

By Your Man.” She turns around and shushes

them.

Then she says, “Like every loyal woman, over the years I have tried to ‘Stand By My Man,’ but now I have seen the error of my ways.

“I’m getting a divorce. We’re spitting our meager finances – a billion dollars apiece.

“Bill has disappointed me. At least Bill Cosby had the courtesy to drug his women so they couldn’t remember what he did to them. Bill drugged them with his words. He spent all his time seducing women, with an occasional sexual harassment here and there. I was his victim, too, and I defended him. Well, I’m putting my foot down. IT’S OVER!” The band starts to play the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Hillary says, “I want every woman who has loved a man who ruined her life to vote for me.”

This is a great ploy, because just about every woman in the world has one man whom they loved who they say has ruined their lives.

Same goes for men having a woman they can’t get over. The only difference is that men are too macho to admit it.

But if having to pick a president from this motley group isn’t bad enough, the country is falling apart in other ways.

In New York, Bill de Blasio – perhaps the worst public official in my lifetime

– is becoming more popular and stands a chance to be re-elected. Truth is, if you have the black, Hispanic and the dumber-than-dirt liberal vote in New York City, you can win any election.

What’s more, every time I turn around there’s another dope on the news looking for attention. There’s Sean Penn, who may be the dumbest moron in the history of dim-witted liberal actors, taking credit, then not taking credit, for the capture of El Chapo.

There’s Michael Moore, who makes my skin crawl. Moore’s from Flint, Michigan, and he was drinking the water there years ago, when it was clean, before the despicable public officials of Flint and Richard Dale Snyder, the slimy Republican governor of Michigan, let poor innocent children drink that lead-filled crap.

If Michael Moore turned out this way drinking clean water, what chance do the children of Flint have now?

I say every Flint resident should start a class-action suit. They should not accept a penny less than a $5 billion settlement. Plus, they must get their medical bills paid for the rest of their lives.

Then there’s Ethan Couch, the Texas teenager who drove drunk and caused a crash, killing four people. He got off because his lawyer pleaded that he was too rich to know right from wrong. He got off and promptly got drunk and broke his parole.

He should be put in the worst jail in Texas and should serve ten years of hard labor. The only way he got off in the first place is because someone in that court was paid off.

Then there are these imagined social ills that are ridiculous. A number of black performers, led by Spike Lee, are boycotting the Academy Awards because no black performers

IN THE NEWS

have been nominated for the top acting awards in the last two years.

In that case, I’m boycotting the Academy Awards this year because no Italian actor was nominated for the Best Actor award. Robert De Niro won Best Actor in 1980. Al Pacino won in 1992. The last Italian actor to win the Best Actor Oscar was Roberto Benigni (for “Life is Beautiful”) in 1998.

That’s 18 years without an award.

Tell me this is not a conspiracy against Italian actors.

No wonder De Niro is making movies like “Dirty Grandpa.”

Plus, I urge people of English, Scottish, Scotch-Irish and German ancestr y to boycott this year’s Academy Awards.

Michael Keaton, who was brilliant in the movie “Spotlight,” did not get a Best Actor nomination. Keaton is of English, Scottish, Scotch-Irish and German ancestry and it’s clear to me that this is why he wasn’t nominated.

Finally, what will be the worst news of the year even though it’s only January: “Cats,” the single worst musical in the history of mankind, is coming back to Broadway.

My experience the first time I saw “Cats” almost killed me.

I went to see it with my family during a snowstorm. The theater was filled. Everyone in the audience was Japanese, except us. Clearly, if you were Japanese, that night you headed to see “Cats.”

I took one look at the stage with showgirls dressed like pussycats with long tails and almost threw up.

The show started with the worst 15 minutes of crappy music I have ever heard.

So I made a decision.

I went to sleep.

It was a sound sleep.

Suddenly, in my deep sleep, I felt this long thing brushing my face.

It felt like a snake. I let out a loud scream. I had no idea where I was, but something was attacking me.

It turns out that during “Cats,” the performers aren’t satisfied with boring us from the stage. They came down into the audience.

What had brushed my face was a pussycat tail, attached to the cute behind of one of the dancers.

That’s when I felt a pain in my chest. I had a pain and I was trembling.

Was I having a heart attack at “Cats?”

To die in the audience at “Cats” would be a disgrace.

Finally the pain subsided and I looked at my son J.T., who was about eight years old.

“Do you like this?” I asked.

“No,” he said.

“Then we’re out of here.”

He and I left the rest of the family in the theater. We climbed over a number of Japanese ladies and gentlemen who were enthralled by the singing pussycats.

Outside, there were no cabs, no cars and it was freezing. Getting out was worth it.

We walked home laughing and throwing snowballs at each other.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4.

Wainscott’s Child Development Center of the Hamptons includes students from preschool through fifth grade participating in all-day planting celebrations, led by Master Garden Coordinator Jeff Negron.

Five raised vegetable beds, an herb garden, a berry row, and a butterfly garden were established along with a composting center and rainwater catch-all system.

The East Hampton school district, arguably, is making up the rear of the ESG campaign. According to Lisa Shaw, who runs the ESG’s East Hampton chapter, “It’s grown slowly.”

Although there’s no greenhouse at the East Hampton High School garden site, there are two gardens installed (one large, one small) as well as a culinary program at the school, with all the produce sold to the faculty members. “It’s a lot of work, and we’ve started to talk about a winter garden,” Shaw said.

“Although we have nothing growing at this present time, we will begin the process next month. We’ve been getting creative about how to garden.

“Our biggest desire now is for community members to become involved in any capacity. We really want a greenhouse,” which Shaw

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

said could cost as much as $30,000.

The Edible School Gardens Program, since the beginning, has relied on dozens of local organizations for donations and setup guidance. Some of those entities playing major roles in getting things up and growing include Bill Ebert Construction, Bridge Gardens, CDCH Leadership Council, Country Ga rd e n s ( Ag w a y ) , C u l t iv a t ed Garden Company, JPL Landscaping, Lynch’s, Quail Hill Farm, East End Community Organic Farm, Amber Waves Farm, Riverhead Building Supply, Summerhill Landscapes, Sunset Beach Farm, Buckley’s, and of course, Slow Food East End. And ESG goes beyond the soil and right into the classroom at each and every school district, according to Carmack-Fayyaz.

The founder said most schools are instilling after school programs, with some offering elective classes related to gardening during a typical school day, as well as an entrepreneurial program in the works. There’s also a parents group that meets monthly at a changing school location.

“It’s interesting,” CarmackFayyaz said. “Each program has a slightly different focus, but we really want to keep it organized because we’re producing. It’s a lot of manpower, but we’re really taking it to the next level.”

Bishop, Church Try To Put Scandal Behind Them

Last week The Independent reported on the pedophile priest scandal. Unlike the Oscar-nominated movie Spotlight, which focused on priests in the Boston area, this newspaper reported about cases on the East End dating back from

the late sixties to the mid eighties. This week we pick up from there.

William Francis Murphy always knew he would become a priest, from his days at Boston Latin School, through Harvard College and St. John’s Seminary, where he

- of other priests committed similar acts. Law covered up the abuse by approving secret payoffs to the victims and their families while hiding the criminal acts from authorities.

There is ample evidence to conclude Murphy played a key part in the cover-up, though he has steadfastly denied it.

Law resigned in 2002 after the Boston Globe broke the scandal in an apparent effort to appease the outrage, but as was typical of the Catholic Church during that era he was subsequently given a cushy position in Rome and was allowed to retire gracefully from the priesthood in 2011.

Murphy was transferred out of Boston in 1981 to the Diocese of Rockville Centre. In 2010, a report by the Massachusetts Attorney General flatly disputed Murphy’s assertion that he was an innocent bystander in the pedophile priest scandal, finding he not only helped shield the scandal from authorities but that he “provided support” to accused priests.

It was a practice that was to continue on Long Island and The East End.

A Key Figure On April 14 2003 the law firm of Dell and Little filed suit against the Archdiocese of Rockville Centre on behalf of six defendants – all of whom said they were sexually molested by priests when they were boys.

A dozen priests were named in the suits and the allegations dated back to the 1950s. So, too, did the Catholic Church’s practice of not reporting criminal abuses to the police – and it continued unabated when Murphy took over from Bishops John McCann and James McHugh.

B i s h o p A c c o u n t a b i l i t y. O r g states Murphy is “a key figure CONTINUED ON PAGE B-6.

Bishop William Francis Murphy had just arrived from the scandalplagued Boston Diocese when he set about making a comfortable home for himself in the Rockville Centre Diocese.

“It is important for the diocese to have a fixed residence for the Bishop,” Murphy unabashedly told Newsday in 2002. “It makes sense that if I could be close to my cathedral, I should be.”

First, that meant the six nuns who lived in some of the space he wanted to renovate on the top floor of the convent at St. Agnes cathedral had to go. Murphy relocated them to Hicksville.

The nuns, and many parishioners complained, but like in Boston and afterwards in his career, Murphy brushed off controversy like a Teflon Don, ignoring or dismissing critics.

Originally the cost of renovating his personal apartment was pegged at $500,000 but cost overruns began to add up, reaching $800,000. Then there was the $120,000 used for opulent items like a coffered ceiling, lowered so a chandelier could be hung over the dining roon table; a new fireplace with an oak mantel; state of the art appliances like a double Sub Zero refrigerator; oriental rugs; not to mention a 50-bottle wine cooler.

The costs of the convent

renovations, a new organ, and new parish center ordered by Murphy were to be covered by a fund-raising campaign with a target of $5.5 million. Only half was raised.

Bishop Murphy boldly gave a Newsday reporter and photographer a tour after the columnist Jimmy Breslin lambasted the opulence and cost overruns. Breslin, writing for Newsday, called Bishop Murphy’s private quarters within the convent “Mansion Murphy.”

The diocese defended the renovation and instead attacked Breslin.

Dixie Scovel, Newsday’s director of public affairs at the time, responded, “Jimmy Breslin is a Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist, and his work speaks for itself.”

The National Catholic Reporter, commenting on the Newsday article, wrote “A few days after the story about his new residence appeared, it was reported that Catholic Charities in the Rockville Centre diocese is terminating a $1.1 million home care program that will no longer serve 500 indigent, mentally ill people on Long Island. Catholic Charities attributed its decision to `mounting expenses.’”

“It’s interesting that our deficit [$140,000] is about the same amount as what the church is spending on the kitchen appliances and Oriental rugs in the [bishop’s] residence,” Kate

Bishop, the program’s coordinator, fumed to the press. “Our mission is to serve people who are marginalized and disenfranchised. For them to turn around, with no notice, and end the program, is horrible.”

After a career in the church that spanned 50 years the end is near for Bishop Murphy. He reached the mandatory retirement age, 75, and was required to submit retirement papers to The Vatican. He could be asked to step down officially at any time, or the Vatican might choose to let him stay on.

“If the Holy Father asks that he retire and announces a replacement the day after, Bishop Murphy is fine with that,” said diocesan spokesman Sean Dolan to Newsday. “If the Holy Father asks him to continue, he will do that,” he added.

The Independent’s request for comment from the Bishop yielded only an email: “Your message to the Bishop’s Office has been received.

Although all messages are brought to the attention of Bishop Murphy, it is not possible for him to answer each message personally. Please accept the Bishop’s appreciation for writing and the assurance that he will take any suggestions or concerns into consideration. Please be assured of Bishop Murphy’s prayers for you and your loved ones.”

Murder Suspect Allegedly Tried To Sail Away

By Rick Murphy

Sean Ludwick, who is accused of killing a passenger while driving drunk, allegedly tried to buy a boat and flee the country – and forfeited $1 million bail.

Southampton Town Police said Paul Hansen, a popular local real estate broker, was in Ludwick’s 2013 Porsche after a night of drinking in local bars on August 30.

At about 2 AM a call came in.

Police responded to Rolling Hill Court East off of Brick Kiln Road in Sag Harbor where Hansen lived.

He was dead at the scene.

Police said an investigation revealed Ludwick, 42, who kept a house nearby in addition to a Manhattan residence, was driving his Porsche when he apparently lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a pole near Hansen’s house. Police said Ludwick then fled the scene but was apprehended a short time later on nearby Woodvale Street because the damaged car stopped operating – Ludwick had hit a pole and severely damaged the car.

He was initially charged with Leaving The Scene Of A Fatality, a Fe l o n y, a n d d r i v i n g w h i l e intoxicated. His blood alcohol level was allegedly 0.18 percent.

Initial reports said Hanson had been ejected from the vehicle, but in court January 5 prosecutors painted a more sinister picture: John Scott Prudenti said, “The defendant, in the most cold-

hearted fashion, removed the rest of Mr. Hansen’s body from the car, laid him on the street, and fled as far as that car would take him.”

Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota said later that forensic evidence indicated that Hansen hadn’t been partially ejected but “removed” by Ludwick from the vehicle.

Faced with a 13 count Grand Jury indictment and the possibility of serving at least 10 and possible 32 years in jail, U.S. Marshalls said Ludwick went to Puerto Rico last week with the intention of setting up an escape plan.

An employee at the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel in San Juan

reportedly recognized Ludwick and called U.S. authorities. Marshalls said they learned Ludwick took sailing lessons while on the island and at one point inquired about buying a boat sturdy enough to take him to South America. He allegedly offered to pay $400,000 for one boat.

Ludwick returned to the states, landing in Miami, traveling to Connecticut, and then back to his house on Brick Kiln Road. He was picked up on a warrant January 19. State Supreme Court Justice Fe r n a n d o C a m a c h o r e v o k e d Ludwick’s bail after hearing about the suspect’s alleged plans to flee jurisdiction.

in the sexual abuse crisis, both because of his earlier role in the Boston archdiocese and because of conditions in Rockville Centre.”

The suit was filed after a Suffolk County Grand Jury report released in early 2003 provided a scathing case by case breakdown of abuses, though the priest were not mentioned by name (as was the case in the Massachusetts report) because of the statute of limitations and other legal restrictions.

The Boston grand jury report revealed allegations of molestations so hideous, widespread, and damaging that the public was stunned those who committed atrocities were never brought to justice.

Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly’s report cleared Murphy of criminal wrongdoing but criticized his attitude in responding to claims of child abuse.

“With only one exception, Bishop Murphy did not report to law enforcement any of the numerous allegations of clergy sexual abuse he reviewed” and “continued to place a higher priority on preventing scandal and providing support to alleged abusers than on protecting children from sexual abuse.”

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

The report also noted: “Any claim by the . . . Archdiocese’s senior managers that they did not know about the abuse suffered by, or the continuing threat to, children in the Archdiocese is simply not credible.”

According to Archbishop Gabriel Montello, writing on the Megan’s Law website, Bishop Murphy “helped to orchestrate the largest cover-up of the sexual victimization of children in the history of our nation and the Vatican continues to allow him to supervise over 200,000 children in schools, religious education and youth sports programs.”

On August 1, 2003 the Long Island Voice of the Faithful publicly called for Murphy’s resignation, stating he misrepresented his role in the Boston cover-up. Murphy had “direct, actual knowledge that substantial numbers of children in the Archdiocese had been sexually abused” and that “Bishop Murphy failed to recognize clergy sexual abuse of children as conduct deserving an investigation and prosecution by public authorities.”

Murphy ignored the request.

In 2008 another group called for Murphy’s resignation. Mark Serrano, regional director of the Survivors Network of Those Abused

by Priests, said Murphy was “not morally fit” to serve as bishop because of his alleged complicity.

“All of Cardinal Law’s lieutenants played a significant role all those years in allowing further damage to occur to those children,” Serrano said. “And the documents demonstrate that.”

According to critics Murphy has maintained an opulent lifestyle –according to one published report extravagant beyond those of any other church official (see accompanying article).

Against Reform Bill A bill before the New York State Assembly in 2014 (The Markey Bill) that would have opened a oneyear period for victims previously shut out by New York’s outdated statutes of limitations to bring forth charges in civil court. Murphy has steadfastly opposed similar measures throughout his tenure.

According to the Catholic Supporter Murphy, in an open letter to parishes and congregations, claimed, “Those who support [the bill] should be opposed by those of us who know how effectively and permanently the Church has remedied that horrific scourge of the last decade.”

By no means was this scandal limited to Long Island or Boston.

Dayton. Philadelphia. Kansas City.

Name the diocese and there are allegations of pedophile abuse against boys as young as three. More than 17,000 victims by one estimate, with over 6000 priests involved.

It is not a phenomena limited to the United States, either. From the Philippines to Europe, and Canada to Australia lawsuits tell the same tale: children, mostly boys, molested and abused by police and the Catholic Church seemingly siding with the priests -- and not only protecting them but promoting them and putting them in situations where they would and could become repeat violators.

In 2014 a U.N. report accused the Vatican of “systematically adopting policies that allowed priests to rape and molest thousands of

Independent / James J. Mackin

children over decades, failing to report allegations to the authorities and transferring offenders to new dioceses where they could abuse again.”

I n J u l y 2 014 Po p e F r a n c i s addressed the matter publicly. He has estimated about one in 50 priests are pedophiles.

Francis called the scandal a “leprosy” that infects the Church, He also acknowledged the Church steadfastly covered up the problem adding, “This state of affairs is intolerable.”

Bishop Accountability believes as many as 10 percent of priests ordained in the past 50 years are pedophiles.

In June 2105 Pope Francis approved the creation of a tribunal to hear cases of bishops accused of covering up child abuse by pedophile priests. Survivors’ groups have long called for the Vatican to do more to make bishops accountable for abuse on their watch. The tribunal’s aim would be “to judge bishops with regard to crimes of the abuse of office when connected to the abuse of minors.”

Sean P. Dolan, the Director of Communications for the Diocese, did speak to this newspaper and asked for a written list of questions. He has not responded by press time but we will print his answers next week if he does respond.

RICK’S SPACE Mortality And Orange Hair: Let’s Discuss

It now appears certain I’m not going to live forever.

I used to believe in immortality, or something that approached it.

After all, I read Lord Of The Ring severy year, and every year Gandalf the Grey falls off a tower into the fiery pits of hell only to show up later in the book as the new, improved Gandalf The White.

I figured Rickey The Nerd would eventually take the plunge and come back as Rickey The Cool to live an infinitely more exciting life than the one I left behind.

Rusty Drumm, Glenn Frey, and David Bowie all died within a day or two of each other. They were all a little older than me, which provides little comfort, unless of course they make their way back again.

First let’s get this Bowie thing out of the way. He was treated like a beloved American icon when he died last week. Everyone said, “I love his music!” No you didn’t – you like the three songs that play on the radio.

Most of his stuff was weird and disjointed, at least in my opinion.

★

People would call it avant-garde, which is a misnomer in music — either it sounds good or it doesn’t.

He wore high heels, tight pants, and makeup. He had orange, spiked hair. Good for him. In Brooklyn that’s not what we considered “cool” – not in 1970, and not now.

Give me the Allman Brothers in jeans, boots and leather any day.

Bowie was said to be bisexual; I say you have to pick one sex you want to sleep with when you are 13 and that’s the one you stick with whether you like it or not.

Bowie’s act was all about theatrics, stage props, androgyny, and even the dreaded philanthropy (sometimes between two men!). Plus he was a homo sapien – openly!

Frey was with the Eagles. What happened in California is there was a great movement towards Country Rock in the late sixties.

David Geffen from Borough Park, Brooklyn, went to California to sign up Country Rock acts. That’s like looking for a virgin in Vegas.

So Frey, from Detroit, Michigan,

and his Eagles were plucked up.

They put out Tequila Sunrise, the first Country Rock platinum album.

Meanwhile down South, Merle Haggard was ripping the best Countr y Rock ever heard in obscurity.

Jesse Colin Young and his Youngblood’s were also mining a different vein of California rock, singing about life in the Northern California hills. Young wrote about his farm in the mountains with his barefoot wife and sheep and all.

Except Jesse Colin Young was born and raised in Queens. He bought the mountain AFTER the record hit the top of the charts.

John Fogerty was born and raised in Berkeley, California and didn’t leave until he joined the Army Reserves to escape Nam. The nearest he got to Louisiana was Fort Knox, Kentucky. But Fogerty and his band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, are credited with creating Swamp Rock.

Remember, “Born on the Bayou” ?

Fogerty had never been anywhere near the place.

By chance Tony Joe White had a hit record in 1968, “Polk Salad Annie,” that more accurately depicted life in the Bayou. He’s still recording and touring at age 72 and his wife is named LeAnn. They still live down South. He created the modern Cajun Rock sound but

never got any credit from Fogerty or the white music critics who probably didn’t know better.

By the way, White wrote another song you may have heard: “Rainy Night In Georgia.” That boy done all right for himself, thank you, and he picks a mean guitar, too.

Youngblood is still alive. He’s 74.

Last time I saw him at the Stephen Talkhouse he was telling everyone to hush and complaining about glasses clinking. He wanted total silence for his melodious voice.

Dude, the songs didn’t hold up.

They ain’t that good anymore. Go back to the mountain. Better still, go back to Queens and see what the real world looks like.

My buddy Drumm wasn’t a musician, but his words sang. His books outlive him. He is Rusty The White now, but he was always Rusty The Cool.

Real musicians let the music do the talking. Sideshows distract from that magical place music can take us. There are doors of perception out there, and you don’t need drugs to open them.

The right music – and literature – can transcend, transporting us to another place, where time is frozen and life stands still. If there is immortality, that’s the place to look for it.

And you don’t need orange hair to get there.

EDITORIAL Some biblical translations use the name Jonas to refer to Jonah, the figure who spent three days in the belly of a whale. Whether it was named for that legendary hero, or the inventor of the polio vaccine (Jonas Salk), or the painfully popular boy band (The Jonas Brothers), winter storm Jonas gave us the chance to spend a day or two snowbound in the bellies of our homes.

Not everybody got to stay indoors watching “Law & Order” re-runs.

Across the East End, our road crews, cops, and emergency responders were on the job. By all accounts, they acquitted themselves admirably, as we have come to expect. Let’s remember to give them a shout out, a cup of coffee, and a warm thank you for braving weather we wouldn’t to keep us safe.

East Hampton Town, Southampton Town and Riverhead Town all did a superior job keeping us apprised of changing conditions. Even the East Hampton Library helped out, thanks to its new real time street cam.

While we’re at it, let’s recognize the working people who manned the gas stations, delis, shops, fuel delivery trucks, and restaurants that stayed open during the storm, not to mention neighbors who helped us out -- with shovels, with extra ice melt, or just the classic cup of sugar.

As the thaw and freeze continues through the week, remember that while our towns and villages do a stupendous job keeping the roads safe, you still need to take extra care in private parking lots. Watch for ice.

Independent VOICES

Entitled Priests Dear Rick, In response to your article, Pedophile Priests, at Saint Andrew’s, I knew both Soave and Burke. They married us; baptized our children; held funeral masses for our family, and I guess the kicker was, heard our confessions!

Looking back over conversations with them and simply being around them, I think I am most struck by their sense of entitlement. Soave always looked down his nose when speaking to me.

Burke liked to vacation in Las Vegas.

Once, however, he went to Rome and told me how amazing it was to say mass at an altar in St. Peter’s. Then he spoke of how he liked the Swiss Guards there, one in

particular, whom he badgered into going out to dinner with him. He told of getting a new car, and if he needed to drive to Bridgehampton Commons, he would park his car in the middle of two spaces because no one was going to ding his car doors!

When his 50th anniversary of being a priest was coming up, he had planned a party for himself at Cormaria.

He said he was joking with the other priests that people would probably ONLY give him $50.00 in a card, and then he laughed, “a dollar for each year!” Then he mumbled that people were cheap. At the time, fifty dollars was a generous amount in my view, and I know it would have been a sacrifice to most families in Sag Harbor. I was struck, too, how he always hung on to one particular altar boy. He would criticize the boy’s shoes, gown, hair, etc., and if someone tried to defend the boy, Burke would quickly put his arm around the boy, and say, “He knows I love him.”

Both men had expectations, and if they

needed something, they expected you to provide it as soon as possible. It’s too bad that back then, instead of just being struck by their sense of their own greatness, we didn’t have insight into what was truly happening.

Navy Boats In Peril Dear Editor, As a former Navy enlisted and Navy

officer, I am disappointed with the capture of our two riverine boats and crews by the Iranians in the Persian Gulf.

I understand one of the boats had a navigation problem, either mechanical or human error, and it wandered into Iranian waters. But why couldn’t the other boat tow it away from Iranian waters?

Furthermore, why wasn’t a warship accompanying the two small boats as they traversed waters in close proximity to an Continued on Page 10. © Karen Fredericks

JUST ASKING

IN THE NEWS

By Karen Fredericks

What do you make of the new breed of randy female comedians?

Continued from page 9.

Marc Lowlicht Comedy comes from people who have suffered oppression. Humor doesn’t come from a happy place. That’s why women, Jews, people of color and all minorities really understand humor. And now it seems to be women’s turn to take the stage.

unfriendly country?

Why didn’t the riverine boats communicate their problems to their commanding officer, who should have been monitoring their transit from Kuwait to Bahrain? If they did communicate their situation, what were the instructions they received from higher command?

It appears to me the personnel on the riverine boats and the command hierarchy viewed the movement of the boats as a routine operation, and they were caught off guard by the problems encountered, and they were not prepared to conduct contingency operations. It reminds me of the capture of the USS Pueblo off of North Korea many years ago.

This incident could embolden the Iranians and other unfriendly countries to test our military prowess.

DONALD MOSKOWITZ

Deborah Geller I think women are the true comedians. They have so much to do in life. There’s more weight on women’s shoulders. If you don’t have a sense of humor about it all how are you going to get through life?

Gene Rogers It’s a sign of the times. That “in your face” style always worked for men and now women are doing it too. And revealing all those embarrassing facts must be very freeing. It’s “no secrets anymore, so there’s no dirt on me because I’m letting out all the dirt up front.”

Alex Ricci All I can say is, it’s about time! Think of all those male comedians like Andrew Dice Clay and Louis CK and George Carlin.

Cruzin Dear Editor, It is frustrating and baffling that so many people, even 20 percent of Democrats, are flocking to the Trump campaign. I understand the anger and frustration with our current administration and our incremental loss of freedom, but not what I consider a dangerous path to a nationalist progressive who recently discovered he was no longer the selfproclaimed New York liberal.

It may seem exciting to have him saying so many of the things we’ve fought for over the last eight years, but we have to examine who he is and what he truly believes. We can’t go on empty promises again. Our country cannot

survive stepping over the line of reason.

Where is his advocating for a return to the Constitution? Crickets. Why is he so vitriolic against conservatives who disagree with him?

Why would conservatives stand for a man who’d tell his audience that his “people” are the most loyal “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters”?

It shows that we have a real problem here. It shows we cannot trust him to be

diplomatic or safe.

My vote goes to Ted Cruz, a proven conservative who has fought the people’s battles to the Supreme Court and won. He knows how to stop legislation that would further damage our rights by including amendments that the liberals can’t vote for. We need people that represent us to be of high moral character, something certainly lacking in the frontrunner. Please vote for Ted Cruz in the primary election in April.

LYNDA A.W. EDWARDS

Indy Fit

Asked to offer his number one wintertime fitness tip, Scott Rubenstein of East Hampton Indoor Tennis said, “You have to hydrate as much during the winter as you do during the summer. People don’t realize it’s just as important now as when it’s hot and humid.”

He acknowledged that people don’t think of drinking water as often during the winter because they’re not overheated and sweating. But, it’s important for your muscles, regulates your body temperature, lubricates your joints, and flushes toxins. It makes your skin pretty, too.

Drink up.

Northwell Health’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Dowling and Peconic Bay Medical Center’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Mitchell signed the agreement last week.

PBMC Joins Northwell

PBMC Health & Peconic Bay Medical Center celebrated becoming a full member of Northwell Health with an Official Signing Ceremony on January 19 in the Kanas Center for Advanced Surgery Atrium at Peconic Bay Medical Center. The event signaled Peconic Bay Medical Center’s transformation into a true regional medical center. The partnership will invest in the East End by bringing world-class services while keeping true to its roots as a community hospital, according to a release from hospital officials.

As the newest member, Peconic Bay Medical Center becomes Northwell Health’s 21st hospital within the health system, expanding Northwell Health’s presence into eastern Long Island while joining its existing Suffolk County hospitals: Huntington Hospital, Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, and South Oaks Hospital in Amityville.

The Emergency Department physicians who support Peconic Bay Medical Center joined Northwell Health Physician Partners effective January 15, 2016. Meanwhile, the physicians who cover the Radiology Department will be staffed by Northwell Health Physician Partners next month. The transition will continue to provide patients with exceptional, comprehensive and quality clinical care.

The agreement, signed by Northwell Health’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael

Dowling and Peconic Bay Medical Center’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Mitchell, was previously approved by PBMC’s Board of Directors and Northwell Health’s Board of Trustees.

The ceremony began with the presentation of the flags and announcing the pledge of allegiance

by Riverhead High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.

Peconic Bay Medical Center, a 65-year-old community hospital, serves as eastern Long Island’s primary medical source for healthcare taking care of more than 7000 inpatients and 168,000 outpatients annually including more than 32,000 emergency visits.

The addition of Peconic Bay Medical Center’s 1300 employees increases Northwell Health’s workforce to about 61,000. It’s the largest private employer in New York State.

Bonac Comes Up Big; Mariners Split

By Rick Murphy

The rivalry between East Hampton and Bayport/Blue Point was festering for some time before it bloomed last season, when the two teams split two hard fought games.

That’s why it was particularly satisfying for the locals to come away Thursday with a 71-64 victory against the Phantoms.

It was Bonac’s second win against those rivals, and it may have – just maybe – set up a scenario wherein if they meet again at all it will be for the Suffolk County Class A Championship.

It was a cutthroat game as expected. East Hampton, playing before a hostile crowd, has been in a mini slump with a couple of key players injured, most notably Jack Reece, the team’s silky smooth point guard.

East Hampton enjoyed a small lead for much of the game, but never had a chance to get comfortable – credit Prabhnoor Singh, who improbably dropped in eight three point shots en route to a game-high 26 points.

East Hampton’s high scorer, Brandon Kennedy-Gay, was on fire as well. He drilled three bombs and totaled 25 points. Every time East Hampton needed a critical free throw, Kennedy-Gay seemed to be on the line to deliver.
