What happens when the guy who fixes things needs to be fixed?

RICHARD COLE initially thought he had a rotator cuff injury. But the imaging experts at Stony Brook discovered something far more serious: a grapefruit-sized tumor growing on his right lung. His cancer team designed an aggressive treatment plan that involved radiation therapy followed by chemotherapy and surgery. With the tumor completely removed, Richard underwent additional rounds of chemotherapy. Now cancer-free, Richard is not only back to fixing cars, but restoring time with his family.

‘Papillon’: A well-made but shallow prison break flick

©157918

BY KYLE BARR

157927

Here’s a question when it comes to remakes: Should a film stand on its own two feet or should we as an audience come down harder on its mistakes than we would an original film?

“Papillon,” the 1973 movie directed by Franklin J. Schaffner and starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, is based on Henri Charrière’s autobiography of the same name. I’ve never read the book, and I’ve never seen the original movie.

Hell, it might be a great movie, but too often people would rather compare films to each other than consider them on their own merits.

A film is a film before it is a remake, and it should be taken as such. If so, then there is a problem when a remake such as “Papillon” is missing key pieces of character motivation that makes one wonder if it was assumed from the original movie.

“Papillon” starts in early 1930s France, as the titular Papillon (Charlie Hunnam), a safecracker working for the local mob, gets framed for a murder he didn’t commit by a local mob boss for whom he worked. He is sentenced to life in prison at Devil’s Island in French Guiana, a place known for its abject brutality and harsh conditions. Anyone sentenced to Devil’s Island is exiled, never able to return to France. On the way there Papillon meets Louis Dega (Rami Malek), a convicted counterfeiter to whom he offers protection in exchange for money, all the while thinking of escape.

Though Papillon and Dega initially dislike each other, it is their commitment to their friendship that drives the plot of the movie, and both actors play across each other very well.

This friendship is despite attempts by Warden Barrot (Yorick van Wageningen) to break Papillon’s spirit through a long stay in solitary.

Director Michael Noer does a pretty good job at really setting the tone of the film. Everything at the prison colony is dirty, bloody and hard. Every actor involved is well tuned to his role. Malek does well as a stoic man seemingly

numb to other people’s problems, that is until he starts to form a bond with Papillon.

Hunnam has never really had a problem falling into character, and here he plays the hard-bitten man with a heart of gold as well as he has for nearly every film and show since “Sons of Anarchy.”

Yet there is a clear lifelessness to the whole affair. We start the film in France, end up in French Guiana, and yet we never hear a single person try to affect even an attempt at a French accent. It takes the occasional sight of the tricolor French flag to remind us that, yes, these people are French, with French guards and French prisoners. It’s enough to question whether Hollywood still thinks Americans will laugh at anything French as if every line is a nasal-sounding comic’s routine.

What’s worse is Papillon, the character, never makes you care enough about his plight.

He is a rough man, willing to beat any man into roadkill just to get enough money to escape, but he stops just short of killing anybody. It seems the film is trying to tell us that is something to admire. He spends enough time in solitary confinement and suffers so that we may admire him in a Christ-like sort of way, but much like the real prison system, it seems we are supposed to root for someone’s morality just because they will do anything to attain some form of “justice” just short of the original sin.

Perhaps it would be different if I saw the original film; then perhaps I would understand what character Papillon is trying to be. Perhaps in that film they comment about his violent nature, but there’s not enough here for any kind of real understanding.

The movie is good enough, but it’s still sad to see so much effort go into the set and costume design as well as the character’s portrayals only to see it wasted on what Hollywood must be thinking is just another remake.

Rated R for language, violence, nudity and some sexual material,“Papillon” is now playing in local theaters.

One of the nice things about the influx of immigrants in recent years is that they’ve brought with them cultures that we were formerly unfamiliar with and have added a whole new dimension to our own culture and cuisine.

For years, we’ve accepted and taken for granted the cuisines that western European and British immigrants brought with them and actually integrated them into what we now think of as basic American cuisine. But now dishes from regions in the Far and Near East as well as the Caribbean, Mexico and Central and South America have also assumed dynamic roles in our basic American cuisine.

A good example is flatbread. Acting as the base for a limitless number of toppings, it makes a great light meal, tasty appetizer and healthful snack.

HELPING YOU NAVIGATE TO OPTIMAL HEALTH

David Dunaief, M.D. Integrative Medicine

• A Whole Body Approach • Reversing, Preventing & Treating Chronic Disease and Managing Weight by Connecting Conventional Medicine with Lifestyle Modifications Our Philosophy is simple.

We believe wellness is derived through nutritional medicine and lifestyle interventions that prevent and treat chronic diseases.

Medications have their place - and in some cases can be lifesaving.

However, there’s no medication without side effects. The goal should be to limit the need for medications - or minimize the number of medications you take on a regular basis.

You are not limited by your genes.

Fortunately, most diseases are based primarily on epigenetics, which are environmental influences, and not on genetics. Epigenetics literally means above or around the gene. In epigenetics, lifestyle choices impact gene expression. Just because your first degree relatives may have had a disease, you are not predestined to follow suit.

We are specialists who will partner with your primary care physician.

A standard medical education does not integrate enough nutritional medicine and other lifestyle interventions. We bridge that gap.

We use evidence-based medicine to guide our decision-making.

The amount of research related to nutrition and other lifestyle issues continues to grow rapidly, with many studies showing significant beneficial effects on health.

Preventing and Reversing Chronic Conditions and Diseases Including:

Is disease reversal possible?

Absolutely! Study evidence has found this to be true, and many of our patients have experienced reversal of diabetes, autoimmune disorders, migraines, and cardiovascular disease, just to mention a few. In many cases, because of their exceptional results, our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their medications.

Over-the-counter doesn’t mean ‘safe’ in all instances

NEWS AROUND TOWN

There are serious side effects of NSAIDs and Tylenol

Most of us keep a few key items in our medicine cabinets. In addition to aspirin, among these are usually NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and acetaminophen (Tylenol). We often use them for relief of pain, fever or inflammation. Familiar NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen sodium (Aleve).

It is estimated that more than 17 million people use NSAIDs on a daily basis. According to a poll of these regular users of over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDs, a substantial number — 60 percent — were unaware of their dangerous side effects (1).

Acetaminophen is used frequently, as well.

On a weekly basis, one quarter of Americans take it.

We think of these drugs as relatively beBy David nign. In fact, I find that Dunaief, M.D. unless I specifically ask about their use, most patients don’t include them on a list of their medications on a patient registration form.

NSAIDs: The statistics

Unfortunately, NSAIDs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are responsible for 7,600 deaths annually and 10 times that number in hospitalizations (2).

These are not medications that should be taken lightly. NSAIDs increase the risk of several maladies, including erectile dysfunction, heart attacks, gastrointestinal bleeds, exacerbation of diverticular disease and chronic arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats). In some instances, the cardiovascular effects can be fatal.

NSAIDs: Studies demonstrating adverse side effects

In a case control (epidemiologic, retrospective) study using the UK Primary Care Database, chronic users of NSAIDs have a significantly increased risk of a serious arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) called atrial fibrillation (3). Patients were between 40 and 89 years of age.

Interestingly, chronic users were defined as patients who took NSAIDs for more than 30 days. Those patients who used NSAIDs more than 30 days had a 57 percent increased risk of atrial fibrillation. A Danish study reinforces these results after the first month of use (4).

This is not very long to have such a substantial risk. For patients who used NSAIDs longer than one year, the risk increased to 80 percent. Caution should be used when prescribing NSAIDs or when taking them OTC. Atrial fibrillation is not an easy disease to treat.

History in Motion

The American Airpower Museum, 1230 New Highway, Farmingdale will present its annual for Wings, Wheels & Firetrucks event for Labor Day weekend, Sept. 1 and 2, from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Celebrate the end of summer with antique aircraft from the Bayport-Aerodrome Society, vintage automobiles from the Model A Club of LI and more.

When choosing an OTC pain reliever, check the label for possible side effects.

NSAIDs also increase the risk of mortality in chronic users. Older patients who have heart disease or hypertension (high blood pressure) and are chronic NSAIDs users are at increased risk of death, according to an observational study (5). Compared to those who never or infrequently used them over about 2.5 years, chronic users had a greater than twofold increase in death due to cardiovascular causes.

High blood pressure was not a factor, since the chronic users actually had lower blood pressure. Yet I have seen with my patients that NSAIDs can increase blood pressure.

Is acetaminophen the answer?

Acetaminophen does not cause gastrointestinal bleeds, arrhythmias and deaths due to cardiovascular events that NSAIDs can. However, the Food & Drug Administration announced in 2011 that acetaminophen should not exceed 325 mg every four to six hours when used as a prescription combination pain reliever (6). The goal is to reduce and avoid severe injury to the liver, which can potentially cause liver failure.

There is an intriguing paradox with acetaminophen: Hospitals typically dispense regular-strength 325-mg doses of the drug, whereas OTC doses frequently are found in extra-strength 500-mg tablets, and often the suggested dose is two tablets, or 1 gram. Patients should not take more than 4 grams a day to lower their risk of liver damage. The 4-gram amount sounds like a significant quantity, but it translates into two pills of extra-strength Tylenol every six hours.

I have patients who have taken three pills at one time thinking that, since it is OTC, exceeding the dose is okay. Unfortunately, this is not true.

The FDA’s recommendations for limiting the dose result from a conglomeration of data.

For instance, one study that showed acute liver failure was due primarily to unintentional overdoses of acetaminophen (7). Accidental overdosing is more likely to occur when taking acetaminophen at the same time as a combination sinus, cough or cold remedy that also contains acetaminophen. Over-the-counter cold medications can contain acetaminophen.

In order to be aware of potentially adverse events, you have to be your own best advocate and read labels. Remember to tell your physician if you are taking OTC medications.

If you are a chronic user of NSAIDs because of underlying inflammation, you may find an anti-inflammatory diet, which is usually plantbased, is an effective alternative.

CULPER SPY DAY

Fourth annual Culper Spy Day celebrates our Revolutionary story

BY HEIDI SUTTON ‘Lucky is the child who listens to a story from an elder and treasures it for years.’

— Barbara Russell, Town of Brookhaven Historian

M

argo Arceri first heard about George Washington’s Setauket spies from her Strong’s Neck neighbor and local historian, Kate W. Strong, in the early 1970s. Arceri lights up when talking about her favorite spy, Anna Smith Strong.

“Kate W. Strong, Anna Smith Strong’s great-great-granddaughter, originally told me about the Culper Spy Ring when I used to visit her with my neighbor and Strong descendant Raymond Brewster Strong III. One of her stories was about Nancy (Anna Smith Strong’s nickname) and her magic clothesline. My love of history grew from there,” she said.

Five years ago Arceri approached the Three Village Historical Society’s President Steve Hintze and the board about conducting walking, biking and kayaking tours while sharing her knowledge of George Washington’s Long Island intelligence during the American Revolution.

Today, Arceri runs Tri-Spy Tours in the Three Village area, which follows in the actual footsteps of the Culper Spy Ring. “I wanted to target that 20- to 60-year-old active person,” she said. “I have to thank AMC’s miniseries “TURN” because 80 percent of the people who sign up for the tour do so because of that show,” she laughs.

It was during one of those tours that Arceri came up with the idea of having a Culper Spy Day, a day to honor the members of Long Island’s brave Patriot spy ring who helped change the course of history and helped Washington win the Revolutionary War. “Visiting places like the Brewster House, which is owned by The Ward Melville Heritage Organization, the grave site of genre artist William Sidney Mount at the Setauket Presbyterian Church cemetery (whose paintings are at The Long Island Museum) and the Country House, which every one of the spies visited,” Arceri thought “there has to be a day designated to celebrating all these organizations in the Three Village and surrounding areas; where each of us can give our little piece of the story and that’s how Culper Spy Day developed.”

Meet Big Bill the Tory at the Sherwood-Jayne Farm in East Setauket on Culper Spy Day and learn the TRUTH about George Washington’s pesky band of renegade spies!

After a successful three-year run, the fourth annual Culper Spy Day will be held on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. offering self-guided tours of 24 locations including eight new spots for the ultimate Culper Spy Day experience. “The more the merrier,” laughs Arceri.

One new event you won’t want to miss is an interactive tour at the Sherwood-Jayne Farm in East Setauket where you’ll experience a different spin on George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring. Maintained by Preservation Long Island, the property boasts a 1700s saltbox home, apple orchard, barn, an ice house, corn crib, a pasture and nature trail.

According to Darren St. George, education and public programs director at Preservation Long Island, the farm was originally owned by the Jayne family.

“The property was purchased by Mathias Jayne in 1730 [who built a lean-to saltbox dwelling] which is eventually passed down to William Jayne II in 1768 who expands the house after his second marriage,” he said, continuing, “[William] was involved with local government, he was a constable, so he had some stature and clout in the community and it was nice to have a more substantial home.”

The fourth annual Culper Spy Day is presented by Tri-Spy Tours, the Three Village Historical Society, the Long Island Museum and The Ward Melville Heritage Organization in collaboration with the Benjamin Tallmadge District of the Boy Scouts; Campus Bicycle; Caroline Church of Brookhaven; Country House Restaurant; Custom House; Discover Long Island; Drowned Meadow Cottage Museum; East Hampton

However, when the Revolutionary War broke out, Jayne chose to remain a Loyalist and a steadfast supporter of the crown.

“William Jayne II was a known Tory in the neighborhood,” said St. George. “Long Island was occupied by many Tories, many people still supported the king and didn’t want to upset the status quo, but as the war concluded, most Torys moved to Canada or Connecticut or they turned their back on the king entirely, but Jayne doesn’t. He still stays a Tory, he has his reputation and still thrives in the community,” eventually acquiring the nickname Big Bill the Tory.

When Jayne passed away, the home remained in the family until it was sold in 1908 to Preservation Long Island’s founder, Howard C. Sherwood, who used the home to showcase his many antiques. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.

During Culper Spy Day, ticketholders will be able to take part in a 20-minute guided tour of the first floor of the home, specifically the Jayne Parlor (which was added after the Revolutionary War), the Sherwood Living Room (which was the original 1730 home) and the Tap Room (kitchen/dining room).

Clark Memorial Library; Fairfield Historical Society, Fairfield Museum & History Center; Frank Melville Memorial Park; Fraunces Tavern® Museum; Gallery North; History Close at Hand; Huntington Historical Society; Huntington Militia; Joseph Lloyd Manor House; Ketcham Inn Foundation; Northport Historical Society; Old Methodist Church; Paumanok Tours; Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce; Port Jefferson Free Library;

One of the more interesting features of the home are the original late-18th-century hand-painted floral wall frescoes on the walls of the Jayne Parlor. Commissioned by William Jayne II, they were rediscovered underneath wallpaper by Sherwood in 1916 who had them restored by well-known artist Emil Gruppé. “One small panel was left untouched so that you can see how it’s weathered through the years,” St. George pointed out during a recent tour.

The home contains artifacts that specifically relate to the American Revolution, including paneling on the fireplace wall and shutters on a bar in the Tap Room that came from the Tallmadge House of Setauket, believed to be the birthplace of Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge, a founding member of the spy ring who would become George Washington’s chief intelligence officer.

As a special treat, Big Bill the Tory, portrayed

by David Burt, will make a guest appearance during each tour and share his views on the Culper Spy Ring and the noble intentions of King George III. “He’ll explain what life has been like for him as a Loyalist — the other side of the story that we’re really not hearing too much of,” explained St. George.

Parking will be in the field next to the property and visitors are asked to line up at the back door for the tour, which will be ongoing from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Apple cider and donuts will be available for purchase.

Arceri’s favorite part of the day is “seeing all these different organizations coming together as a whole. It really is our Revolutionary story,” she said. “Everywhere you turn in the Three Villages you are looking at an artifact, and as the historical society believes, the community is our museum and that I would really love to put on the forefront of people’s minds.”

Admission is $25 adults, $5 children ages 6 to 12 and may be purchased in advance at the Three Village Historical Society (TVHS), 93 North Country Road, Setauket, by calling 631751-3730 or by visiting www.tvhs.org. Veterans and children under the age of 6 are free.

Tickets may be picked up at the TVHS from Sept. 11 to 15. At that time, participants will receive a bracelet and a copy of the Culper Spy Day map with all event listings and include access to 24 Culper Spy Ring locations.

If available, tickets on the day of the event may be purchased at the historical society.

CULPER SPY DAY

Let’s take a walk through history

HISTORY CLOSE AT HAND

BY BEVERLY C. TYLER What was the situation on Long Island during the Revolutionary War? Why do we know so little about the Setauket-based Culper Spy Ring? Who were they? What did they accomplish? Well! The Setauket spies were just commonplace men and women who grew up in a small farming community on the North Shore of Long Island — ordinary people who did extraordinary things.

ABRAHAM WOODHULL, a descendant of Richard Woodhull, an early Brookhaven Town leader and magistrate, was born on his family’s farm in Setauket, overlooking Little Bay, in 1750. He was a farmer by occupation.

Probably because of his elder brother Richard’s death at the early age of 32, Abraham inherited the family home (circa 1690) and farm. The land had been in the family since Richard Woodhull came to Setauket, sometime between 1655 and 1657.

From the beginning of the Setauket spies in 1778, Woodhull was in charge of day-to-day operations. His code name was Samuel Culper and the spy operation came to be known as the Culper Ring.

Woodhull was referred to as Samuel Culper Sr. after he recruited Robert Townsend, who became known as Culper Jr. Not only did Woodhull direct field activities, but he also risked his life countless times by personally collecting information in New York and on western Long Island.

Woodhull was responsible for evaluating the reports received from all sources, determining what was to go forward to Washington’s headquarters and seeing that the dispatches were carried across the Sound by Caleb Brewster. His health was poor, partly caused by stress as he lived in constant fear of discovery.

After the war, Woodhull became the first judge of Suffolk County. He died Jan. 23, 1826, and his grave in the Setauket Presbyterian Church graveyard was marked by the Mayflower Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1936.

It happened in Setauket! A clandestine operation to provide General Washington with information on the activity of the British on Long Island and in New York City existed in Setauket during the Revolutionary War. You too can explore the sites that figured in the operation of the Culper Spy Ring, as it was known.

On Saturday, Sept. 15, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., many historic locations in the Three Villages and the surrounding areas dating as far back as 1655 will open their doors to the public as we celebrate the fourth annual Culper Spy Day — Our Revolutionary Story, offering docent-led tours, exhibitions, demonstrations, children’s activities and more. Start at whichever location you like and go at your own pace.

5. SETAUKET NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE, 95 Main Street, Setauket. The original part of the house, where the central chimney is located, was built in the early 1700s. In 1820 it was moved to its present location from its original site on Setauket (Conscience) Bay by Dr. John Elderkin. After the death of Elderkin in 1836, his son, John, moved from New York City and took up residence in the old home. He added the sections to the right and left of the original house sometime around 1835. The house then became Ye Old Elderkin Inn. Besides running the inn, John continued his drug business, which began in the city, had a general store, post office, bank and a Franklin Library in the building.

During the 1860s, the inn served as a home for a stage coach line that ran between Setauket and the Lakeland Railroad Depot near Ronkonkoma before the Long Island Railroad line was built on the North Shore.

John Elderkin’s wife Renelcha was a woman of great refinement, energy and ambition, and the inn was noted for its hospitality and fine

8. SETAUKET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AND CEMETERY, 5 Caroline Ave., Setauket.

The previous church (1714–1811) was a part of British fortifications during 1777. The fort was under the command of Loyalist Commander Col. Richard Hewlett. The present building dates from 1812. The minister before and during the Revolutionary War was Reverend Benjamin Tallmadge, father of Major Benjamin Tallmadge, soldier, patriot and head of General Washington’s secret service. Come into the church sanctuary to hear from docents about this church that served the congregation from the 1660s.

Leaving the church, walk to the left, go through the gate into the cemetery, turn left alongside the church and then left behind the church and right to the brick-encased memorial marker that is the grave site of Abraham Woodhull of George Washington’s Spy Ring. Docents will give more details about some of the famous people who are the permanent residents of the cemetery, which dates to the founding of Setauket and the Town of Brookhaven in 1655. 631-941-4271.

9.SETAUKET VILLAGE GREEN, Main Street, Setauket. Following the end of the Revolutionary War and the departure of all the British and Loyalist forces from Long Island in 1783, the residents of Setauket held an ox roast on the Setauket Village Green in honor of their native son Benjamin Tallmadge, son of the Setauket Presbyterian

Church minister, Benjamin Tallmadge, and General Washington’s intelligence chief.

Tallmadge was responsible for the design and implementation of the Setauket-based Culper Spy Ring that provided Washington with complete and accurate details on British and Loyalist activities in New York City and on Long Island.

Members of the Setauket Harbor Task Force will be stationed here to discuss the changes of water quality over the years and the challenges Caleb Brewster would have met on the Long Island Sound also known as the Devil’s Belt.

Meet Margo Arceri of Tri-Spy Tours here at 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. for an abbreviated walking tour of the historic district.

Representatives from Paumanok Tours will be on hand to discuss marine life in our bays and harbors as well as the route Caleb Brewster would have taken to meet Abraham Woodhull and cross the sound. Find out about the organization’s kayak rentals, lessons and guided spy tours.

10. SETAUKET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AUDITORIUM, 134 Main Street, Setauket.

Completed in 1951, the auditorium contains the murals of artist Vance Locke. A gift of Ward and Dorothy Melville to the community, the murals tell the stories of Setauket/Brookhaven history.

In 2018, Setauket School fourth-grade students wrote and recorded the story of each mural from the community life of the Setalcott Native Americans before European contact to cutting ice on the Setauket Mill Pond about 1900. On the east wall between the full-length windows are the five murals of the Revolutionary War depicting the British control of Long Island (1776), the Battle of Setauket (1777), the Culper Spy Ring (1778 and 1779) and the Battle of Fort St. George (1780). The auditorium is open to the public only on Culper Spy Day. Each mural section contains a QR code that brings the students recorded story to life.

The head of the Culper Spy Ring, Abraham Woodhull, portrayed by historian Beverly Tyler, will be stationed in the Setauket School Auditorium to discuss the Revolutionary War murals and will also be glad to answer any questions about his life and times. 631-730-4600.

Benjamin Tallmadge, c. 1781, in his dragoon (cavalry) uniform

BENJAMIN TALLMADGE, organizer and leader of the Revolutionary War Setauket Spies, was born in Setauket on Feb. 25, 1754. The son of the minister of the Setauket Presbyterian Church, he was the youngest of the Culper spies. The home where he was born is still standing in Setauket at the end of Runs Road. Tallmadge grew up in Setauket, attended school here with his close friend Abraham Woodhull and, like many residents of Suffolk County, he grew to have a healthy distrust for British authorities in New York. A classmate of Nathan Hale, Tallmadge graduated from Yale in 1773 and, like Hale, taught school for a time in Connecticut.

When the Revolution began, Tallmadge enlisted in the Continental Army and was soon awarded the rank of major.

Later, General Washington appointed him head of his secret service and tasked Tallmadge with establishing an espionage network against the British in New York City. To conduct this vital undercover operation on Long Island, Tallmadge choose his boyhood friend Abraham Woodhull.

Together they chose other friends and neighbors from Setauket; men and women who could be trusted and who would prove to be so discreet in all their contacts that their identity would not be discovered until the 20th century.

Major Tallmadge, referred to by the code name John Bolton, not only led Washington’s secret service but was also in most of the battles involving the Continental Army in the northern states.

Among his many exploits was the capture of Fort St. George at Mastic in November 1780. After the war was over, Tallmadge retired from the Army with the rank of colonel. In 1784 he married Mary, eldest daughter of General William Floyd of Mastic — Long Island’s signer of the Declaration of Independence. Tallmadge lived in Litchfield, Connecticut, and represented that state in Congress for 16 years. He died in Litchfield in 1835 at the age of 81.

Anna Smith Strong and her magic clothesline as portrayed by Donna Smith ANNA SMITH STRONG, the great-granddaughter of Setauket’s lord of the manor, Colonel William (Tangier) Smith, was a strong and ardent Patriot. She devised, according to a folklore story first detailed by Morton Pennypacker in his book “George Washington’s Spies,” a wash line signal system to identify for Abraham Woodhull the whereabouts of Caleb Brewster’s whaleboat, so that Woodhull could find him and pass along the messages meant for General Washington.

As detailed by Pennypacker and embellished by Strong family historian Kate Strong in her “True Tales,” to avoid detection by the British it was necessary for Brewster to hide his boat in six different places, each identified by a number. “Nancy” Strong, as she was known by friends and neighbors, hung her laundry from the line in a code formation to direct Woodhull to the correct location. A black petticoat was the signal that Brewster was nearby, and the number of handkerchiefs scattered among the other garments on the line indicated the meeting place.

Using the most ordinary of personal items and improvising on the most ordinary of personal tasks, Anna made an extraordinary contribution to the cause of freedom.

Anna Strong lived on Strong’s Neck with her six children throughout the war. Her husband, Selah Strong, was confined in a New York prison in January, 1778, for “Surreptitious correspondence with the enemy.”

She got permission to bring him food, which evidently saved his life, and she obtained his release by appealing to her Tory relatives. He was still in danger and spent the rest of the war in Connecticut.

While British officers luxuriated in the Manor House (no longer standing — a 19th-century manor replaced it), Anna lived in a small cottage across the bay from Woodhull’s farm, staying there to also protect her family’s rights to the estate. A good friend of Caleb Brewster, as a member of the Culper Spy Ring in Setauket, she was a vital link between the Continental Army officer Caleb Brewster and Abraham Woodhull, the Patriot spy posing as a Loyalist.

13. SHERWOOD-JAYNE FARM, 55 Old Post Road, East Setauket. Originally built around 1730 as a lean-to saltbox dwelling, the house and farm were maintained as an operational farmstead for over 150 years by members of the Jayne family. In 1908, Preservation Long Island’s founder, Howard C. Sherwood, acquired the property to showcase his lifetime interest in collecting, studying and living with antiques. Restored by Joseph Everett Chandler of Boston, one of the leading Restoration/Colonial-Revival architects of the time, the house contains period furnishings and features original late-eighteenth-century hand-painted floral wall frescoes. The farm features walking trails, a barn, outbuildings, an apple orchard and pasture.

14. THE COUNTRY HOUSE RESTAURANT, 1175 North Country Road, Stony Brook. Built in 1710, the restaurant was originally a home and used as a farm. Throughout the centuries, it was used for many different purposes such as a stagecoach drop-off. In the 1800s it became home to the

famous English actor Thomas Haddaway. Spiritual seances would be held there, with neighbor William Sidney Mount trying to conjure up past spirits, a popular practice at the time. In 1970 it became a restaurant known as the 1710 House. In 1975 it was reopened as the Haddaway House and in 1978 it became The Country House Restaurant.

On Culper Spy Day the restaurant will serve up a special spy-themed lunch with seatings at noon and 2 p.m. Adult meals start at $14. Children’s meals, which includes a soft drink, are $10.95.

In 1835, Jonas Smith, one of the country’s most prominent ship owners, purchased the Hallock Homestead for use as a summer house. After his death in 1867 the house had a series of owners until 1929 when Jennie Melville purchased and renovated it for use as a Women’s Exchange. As people visited the area, she started serving tea, sandwiches and refreshments. What began as a simple tea room in the 1930s became a large restaurant with rooms to accommodate overnight guests in 1939 and the Three Village Inn was born.

The restaurant will feature a special spy breakfast at 8 a.m. to kick off the day. Buffet menu will feature scrambled eggs, muffins, croissants, a fruit platter, French toast, orange juice, coffee and more. Cost is $10 per person plus tax and tip. Reservations are required.

CULPER SPIES

23. DROWNED MEADOW COTTAGE MUSEUM, corner of West Broadway and Barnum Avenue, Port Jefferson. The Revolutionary War era Roe House was originally constructed circa 1755 and Phillips Roe, a member of the Culper Spy Ring along with his brother Nathaniel and cousin Austin, was known to have lived there.

24. PORT JEFFERSON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, 118 West Broadway, Port Jefferson. Built in 1682, the John Roe House is saltbox in design and originally stood at the edge of the salt marsh. John Roe, an Irish shoemaker from Maspeth, Queens, built this home with added additions for his family in the early 1700s.

His son Nathaniel Roe came to the property in 1710. Nathaniel Roe Jr. and other Roes including Austin were all part of the Culper Spy Ring.

In 1840 Henry Townsend divided the home into two halves and inserted a two-story addition in the center, creating the Townsend House Inn. Upon entering the home you can see exposed hand-hewn timbers supporting the second floor, mortise and tenon joints pinned with tree nails and lath construction consisting of narrow wood strips. It was moved in 1896 to a location near the railroad tracks where it served as a bar for the trainmen after working hours. The house was moved to its present site in 1982 and now serves as a community information center and home for the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce.

Visit the house on Culper Spy Day and view books on the Revolutionary War on loan from the Port Jefferson Free Library. Costumed volunteers will help children create a secret spy message using invisible ink, set up Anna Smith’s clothesline and create their own mini clothesline using secret coded messages.

Continued from page C8 In one letter during the spying operation Brewster noted that he was “up behind the Strongs.” In a letter written to British Intelligence Chief Oliver Delancy in February 1781, British spy William Heron wrote, “Private dispatches are frequently sent From your city to the Chieftain [Washington] here by some traitors. They come by the Way of Setalket [sic], where a certain Brewster receives them at, or near, a Certain woman’s.” The certain woman was almost certainly Anna Smith Strong.

After the war Anna and Selah were reunited and Selah led Washington’s carriage and party to the Roe Tavern in April of 1790 when the then President Washington made his tour of Long Island. Anna died in 1812 and Selah in 1815. They are buried in the SmithStrong family graveyard along Cemetery Road on Strong’s Neck.

CALEB BREWSTER was perhaps the most bold and daring of the spies. He was the only one of the group that the British had definitely identified as a spy. When the Revolutionary War broke out, Brewster enlisted in the local militia.

After the August 1776 battle of Long Island in Brooklyn, Brewster joined the Continental Army with the rank of a lieutenant of artillery. He returned to Setauket in August of 1777 as part of the attacking force from Connecticut that fought in the battle of Setauket. In November 1780 he was one of the officers under Major Benjamin Tallmadge who captured Fort St. George at Mastic.

They returned to Connecticut with the entire complement of the fort captured.

In spite of his service designation, one of Brewster’s task throughout the war was to command a fleet of whaleboats operating from the Connecticut shore against British and Tory shipping on Long Island Sound (known as the Devil’s Belt). This, together with his knowledge of the Long Island shoreline, his work as a mate on sailing ships and his boyhood association with Benjamin Tallmadge, made him an ideal choice to carry intelligence back and forth across the Sound.

It was Caleb Brewster who most likely gave Benjamin Tallmadge the idea to use Setauket as a center for intelligence operations. Beginning in 1777, Brewster gathered information on the activities of British and Loyalist units on Long Island from his friends, relatives and other contacts and gave the mostly verbal information to his boyhood friend Tallmadge.

Once Tallmadge formalized the activities of the Culper Spy Ring, Brewster took his whaleboat crews to Setauket and neighboring coves to bring messages back to Fairfield, Connecticut, for Major Benjamin Tallmadge to deliver to General Washington.

Brewster also made numerous trips with his whaleboat crews into Long Island Sound to attack British and Loyalist ships. This activity also provided opportunities for gathering intelligence for General Washington.

AUSTIN ROE ran a tavern in East Setauket where food and drink were served and where travelers could stay overnight on their way to or from the south or east end of Long Island. The original location of the tavern (it was moved in 1936) was along what is now Route 25A, just west of the south end of Bayview Avenue. The site is marked by a state road sign that details a few of the most important facts about Austin Roe and the tavern. Captain Austin Roe used his position as a tavern owner to justify his trips to New York City (Manhattan).

While in New York, Roe gathered supplies he needed for the tavern and expensive materials and goods for Anna Strong. These trips provided the cover he needed to obtain the spy messages he carried to Abraham Woodhull in Setauket that had to be relayed to General Washington.

Born in 1748, Austin Roe was 29 years old when he first agreed to be a part of the Setauket spies. He made the 110-mile round trip at least once a week.

The road was heavily traveled by British and Tory troops and by highwaymen (thieves and robbers). Captain Roe would receive information (usually directly from Robert Townsend). The messages were written in code or invisible ink.

Roe would ride back to Setauket and pass the information to Woodhull, who would secretly meet Brewster. The intelligence would then go across the Sound to Fairfield and then to General Washington. Captain Austin Roe made numerous trips to New York and was never discovered. He moved to Patchogue in 1798 where he founded Roe’s Hotel. He died there in 1830 at the age of 81.

The present location of the Roe Tavern, where on April 22, 1790, President George Washington enjoyed the hospitality of Austin Roe and spent the night, is off Old Post Road. The house is private and not open to the public.

ROBERT TOWNSEND (code name Samuel Culper Jr.) coordinated the efforts of the spy network in New York. We will probably never know all the spies who contributed information on British movements, but we do know that Townsend was the principal contact in New York between most of 1779 and 1781.

During portions of that time Abraham Woodhull (Samuel Culper Sr.) took over from Townsend, as he had done before recruiting Townsend. The Culper Spy Ring supplied General Washington with vital information concerning British troop movements, fortifications and intentions in New York and the surrounding area during the perilous war years from 1778 to 1783.

The sensational intelligence transmitted by the spies led to the capture of Major John Andre (he was hung as a spy on orders of General Washington) and the discovery of Benedict Arnold’s plot to turn over West Point to the British. The spy ring also supplied Washington with information that enabled him to prevent the British from attacking the French Army as they arrived in Newport, Rhode Island, in July 1780, and possibly also destroying the French fleet that transported them to Newport.

One of the most important contributions of the Culper Spy Ring was to provide General Washington with accurate and detailed intelligence. In many instances, Washington was able to check the veracity of information received from other sources by comparing it with intelligence received from the Culper Spy Ring.

There were many other Patriot spies reporting to General Washington, some known and many still unknown. They all risked their lives, soldiers and civilians alike, to provide vital intelligence that allowed General Washington and the Continental Army to defeat the greatest army in the world and to “turn the world upside down.”

Auxiliary Revolutionary War and Culper Spy Ring sites to visit A. HUNTINGTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY, headquarters at 209 Main Street, Huntington.

The society maintains the 1795 Dr. Daniel Kissam House Museum, 434 Park Avenue, Huntington. The house now standing on this historic site, one of the original home lots that faced the old Town Green, was built in 1795

by Timothy Jarvis, a housewright. It was first occupied by Dr. Daniel Whitehead Kissam, a physician from Oyster Bay. Considered one of the most outstanding three-quarter plan houses on Long Island, it is noted for its fine architectural details. In 1840, Dr. Charles Sturges, the son-in-law of Dr. Kissam, added a “modern” kitchen wing and converted the old kitchen to a formal dining room. The home was purchased by the society from the estate of Hilda Taylor in 1967 and restoration and reinterpretation of the interior was begun by the society in 1984.

Built in 1790 in the nearby farming community of Lloyd Harbor, the barn on the property can be historically traced back to the Rogers family, who used the structure on their homestead for livestock housing. Legend has it, however, the barn also housed British troops who were quartered there during the Revolution. The museum is open by appointment.

The society also maintains the David Conklin Farmhouse, 2 High Street, Huntington. The Conklin house contains artifacts and is decorated to illustrate three periods of the country’s history: Colonial, Federal and Victorian. When you visit this National Register property, occupied by the Conklin family for over 150 years, you will see the original rooms of the house constructed c. 1750 and a table and chair used by George Washington during his tour of Long Island in 1790. You will also see the area where Sybel Conklin and her children lived and worked while her husband, David, was held prisoner by the British in 1777. One of the earliest museums on Long Island, this home was given to the society

by Ella Conklin Hurd in 1911. The property is open Fridays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. and by appointment. 631-427-7045.

B. NORTHPORT HISTORICAL SOCIETY, 215 Main St., Northport. Second Lieutenant Henry Scudder, a resident of a large farm near Crab Meadow, was captured by the British after the Battle of Long Island in August of 1776.

He was paroled in a prisoner exchange and fled to Connecticut rather than take an oath of allegiance to the British Crown. From Connecticut, he planned and led numerous raids on Long Island, becoming a courageous and elusive spy for the Continental Army.

Scudder often penetrated enemy lines, sending back important information on troop movements.

During one spying mission on British held Fort Slongo, Scudder and Bryant Skidmore drew a plan of the fort and sent it to General Washington. Utilizing the map, 100 American raiders rowed across the Sound and launched a successful attack on the fort in 1781. Only one American

was wounded, Sgt. Elijah Churchill, who became the first recipient of the Purple Heart. Hours are Tuesdays through Sundays from 1 to 4:30 p.m.

Old Methodist Church, 161 Main Street, Cold Spring Harbor. Headquarters for Preservation Long Island, the Cold Spring Harbor Methodist Episcopal Church was built in 1842 by Israel Valentine during the heyday of whaling on a site acquired from Judge Richard M. Conklin, one of the partners in the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Company. After serving its congregation for 149 years, the church closed its doors and the society acquired the building in 1996 for adaptive reuse as its exhibition gallery, program and meeting space and administrative offices.

Visitation by appointment. 631-692-4664.

2. Joseph Lloyd Manor, 1 Lloyd Lane, Lloyd Harbor. Completed in 1767 for Joseph Lloyd, the second lord of the Manor of Queens Village, the Joseph Lloyd Manor House was the seat of a 3,000-acre agricultural estate. The British occupied it during the Revolutionary War, and it was the home of Jupiter Hammon, one of the first published African American authors. Enslaved by the Lloyd family for most of his life, Hammon wrote powerfully about the paradoxes of American freedom and slavery. The house remained in the Lloyd family until 1876 and eventually became the country house of Mrs. Anna Matheson Wood who donated the property to Preservation Long Island in 1968. Today, Lloyd Manor is furnished to the 1793 inventory of Joseph’s nephew, John Lloyd II, and occupies a spectacular 2.5-acre setting overlooking Lloyd Harbor. The property is open for tours on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day and by appointment. Admission is $5 adults, $3 children ages 7 to 14. 631-692-4664.

3. Custom House, 912 Main St., Sag Harbor.

This was the residence and office of Sag Harbor’s first United Sates Custom Master, Henry Packer Dering, who lived in the house with his family from 1790 until 1822. The house was originally located at the corner of Union and Church streets before moving to its current site in 1948 by the Old Sagg-Harbour Committee in order to save it from demolition. In 1966, Preservation Long Island acquired the property. Today, it is interpreted to reflect the work and daily activities of Dering, his wife, and nine children. The property is open for tours Saturdays and Sundays in September through Columbus Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For additional information, call 631-8781855 or visit www.ketchaminn.org.

F. MANOR OF ST. GEORGE (FORT ST. GEORGE), Neighborhood Road, Shirley. This was the South Shore home of William “Tangier” Smith who purchased the land from Native Americans in 1691. Smith’s North Shore home on Little Neck (now Strong’s Neck) was called St. George’s Manor to differentiate it from his

other home. Culper spy Anna Smith Strong is a direct descendant of William Smith.

During the Revolutionary War the British erected Fort St. George on the site. The fort was a depository of stores, dry goods, groceries and arms to supply British forces in Suffolk County. In November 1780 Benjamin Tallmadge and a detachment of dismounted dragoons attacked, captured and burned the fort and the British ships in the harbor loaded with stores, without the loss of a man. On the way back to the North Shore they burned the British supply of winter forage in Coram, thus ending British rule and influence in that part of Long Island.

Stony Brook University earns Long Island’s first Pancreatic Cancer Foundation distinction Harnessing the Technology of our Research Giants

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Thanks to the efforts of Stony Brook University School of Medicine’s Chief of Surgical Oncology Aaron Sasson and numerous doctors and researchers at Stony Brook, Long Island has its first National Pancreas Foundation Center.

A nonprofit organization, the National Pancreas Foundation goes through an extensive screening process to designate such centers around the country, recognizing those that focus on multidisciplinary treatment of pancreatic cancer. The NPF offers this distinction to those institutions that treat the whole patient and that offer some of the best outcomes and improved quality of life for people suffering with a disease who have an 8 percent survival rate five years after diagnosis.

Sasson appreciates the team effort at the medical school. “As opposed to one person leading this, there are many people here who are required to have an interest in pancreatic cancer,” he said. “We are not only looking to build a great infrastructure for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, but we’re also looking to build a team for research on pancreatic cancer.”

‘I’m hopeful for the progress we’ll be able to make to treat this terrible disease.’

Sasson highlighted the research efforts led by Yusuf Hannun, the director of the Cancer Center at SBU, who has helped attract a “tremendous number of scientists” to engage in research into this disease.

The recognition by the NPF helps the university recruit physicians who are clinically interested in developing ways to improve the outcome for patients.

Pancreatic cancer presents particular challenges complicated by its biological aggressiveness, its difficulty to detect and by the many subtypes of this disease. “It’s similar to lung and breast cancer,” Sasson said. “There are many facets of those cancers. You can’t lump them all together.”

Researchers and clinicians are still trying to understand pancreatic cancer in greater detail. Once they have done that, they can advance to treating the possible subtypes.

Numerous researchers at SBU have developed collaborations with scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. David Tuveson, the director of the National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center, has engaged in collaborations with SBU scientists in his work on organoids, which are model human organs grown in a lab.

Scientists use organoids to test drugs and molecular pathways involved in pancreatic cancer.

Members of the Long Island community can take comfort in the continuing dedication of the numerous staff members committed to finding a cure. “Residents of Suffolk County and Long Island should be proud of what Stony Brook has been able to accomplish,” Sasson said.

Stony Brook University has been involved in several clinical efforts.

The university developed a drug called CPI-613, for which Rafael Pharmaceuticals is in the early stage of clinical trials in combination with other drugs.

In early stages, the treatment increases the vulnerability of cancer cells to numerous other drugs. Newark, New Jersey-based Rafael Pharmaceuticals is testing this treatment in pancreatic cancer and in acute myeloid leukemia.

At SBU facilities, Sasson explained that researchers and clinicians are taking a multidisciplinary

approach in their work. One study, he said, is exploring the effects of a kind of radiation therapy for a subpopulation of pancreatic cancer that combines expertise in radiology, gastroenterology, pathology and medical and surgical oncology.

Sasson himself is interested in screening and biomarkers. At least half of his work is related to pancreatic cancer. When he thinks about people who have battled pancreatic cancer, several patients come to mind. He had a patient who was about 80 at the time of his diagnosis.

His primary doctor told him to get his affairs in order.

“We operated on him and he lived another six or seven years,” Sasson recalls. “He was grateful to see his grandchildren graduate and to see his great-grandbabies being born.”

While every patient is unlikely to have the same outcome, Sasson said surrendering to the disease and preparing for the inevitable may not be the only option, as there may be other courses of action.

Another patient had advanced pancreatic cancer for 18 months before Sasson met her. She had received no treatment and yet the cancer didn’t progress, which is “almost unheard of and unbelievable.” In fact, the case defied medical expectations so dramatically that the doctors

conducted two more biopsies to confirm that she had pancreatic cancer.

“She did well for many years despite having advanced pancreatic cancer.”

In another case, a patient was receiving surveillance for lung cancer every three months. In between those visits, he had developed metastatic pancreatic cancer. This patient example and the previous one show the range of cancer progression.

The value of having an integrated clinical and research program is that scientists can look for subtle clues and signals amid the reality of cancer with a wide range of outcomes.

Indeed, scientists attend the weekly tumor board meeting, so they can learn about the clinical aspects of the disease. Doctors also attend research collaborations so they can hear about developments in the lab.

Rather than dictating how researchers and clinicians should collaborate, Sasson hopes to facilitate an environment that sparks these partnerships.

Sasson joined Stony Brook Medical School almost three years ago. He said he is “impressed with the caliber of physicians.” It took time to get the critical mass and organization for pancreatic cancer to match the number of basic science investigators.

“I’m hopeful for the progress we’ll be able to make to treat this terrible disease,” he said.

Weekly horoscopes VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your creative side will be on display this week as you can showcase crafts or artwork that is inspired by the colors of autumn. Put your thoughts in motion.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 You are very good at compromising, Libra.

This is one reason why people like you as a friend. However, do not compromise your own ideals to go along with every plan.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, enjoy socializing with your friends this week. You have been on the go so much that it is time to settle down and enjoy a break and some good conversation.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Try your best to turn a situation that could easily get out of control into one you can manage more easily, Sagittarius. It will probably require some quick thinking.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Family matters come to the forefront this week, Capricorn. You may find yourself in the middle of a siblings squabble. Fortunately, things will blow over quickly.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A series of events at work may have you thinking about a change in position and/ or career, Aquarius. Don’t make any rash moves just yet.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Try to take emotion out of all your decisions this week, Pisces. Lead with your head instead of your heart, especially where work is concerned.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, surround yourself with people who have more experience than you and can offer advice. Listen to the pearls of wisdom they may share with you.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Sometimes going about the same schedule day after day can put you in a rut, Cancer.

An Invitation To

MEET AVA!

Rescued from South Carolina, she’s now safe at Kent Animal Shelter looking for a home and family with lots of love and patience to help her come out of her shell. Could that be with you? Ava has beautiful brown eyes, a light and dark brown coat and a brown nose.

She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines.

Kent Animal Shelter is located at 2259 River Road in Calverton. The adoption center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. For more information on Ava and other adoptable pets at Kent, call 631-727-5731.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH

special ledges to stop for lunch! I enjoy going higher and deeper into the mountain where, in my mind, I compose the essence of the scene I want to paint — moving water, rocks, wildlife. I don’t photograph or sketch much; instead I develop the ideas in my mind so that these paintings are not actual places — they are created in my painting.

Rick Mundy

BY IRENE RUDDOCK

Rick Mundy is an award-winning watercolor artist who specializes in realistic paintings of Long Island, the Adirondacks, the Caribbean Islands, New York City, Africa and Alaska.

He is noted as being one of the top art businesses on Long Island and has been published in Art Business News, The New York Times, Boater’s Digest and the Encyclopedia of Living Artists.

I recently visited Mundy’s Setauket studio to get a sneak peak of the artist’s upcoming exhibit featuring 60 watercolor paintings at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River. An artist reception is scheduled for Sept. 2 and again on Sept.

23 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

I am amazed by the vast variety and creativity of your portfolio. How do you think of all these ideas?

Painting is a celebration of the creative spirit and all that is beautiful in nature. As a teacher of biology, I learned more about nature, which is a recurring theme in my paintings. It is fun and exciting and I can’t stop myself once I get an idea! I like to paint in themes and in a series, and I most often do a diptych or a triptych.

How has your extensive mountain climbing influenced your philosophy of life in other ways?

I feel that nature feeds the soul.

Being at one with nature, not fearful, but calm with the knowledge of the beauty that nature can deliver. Knowing Mother Nature is in charge and respecting her vastness. She will show you great things, but she is in charge.

You are showing three rooms of paintings — Long Island, Adirondacks and the third titled ‘Well, ... certainly different.’ Can you give us a hint about that?

The Long Island paintings are all about the special beauty of the island’s beaches, boatyards, barrier islands, etc. In the last room, I exhibit my African collection including royal hair combs, animal skins and beading; my tropical mosaics, which look like Tiffany glass; my floral Gingko paintings; and some cityscapes.

What kind of presentation are you planning at your art receptions?

’ Each artist is given a talent and a responsibility to develop that talent. It is a gift that I have worked hard to cultivate, and I trust that those who view my paintings will see the beauty that I have found in nature.’ — RICK MUNDY When did you first decide to become an artist and was there an artist who encouraged you?

I enjoyed art since I was a child being inspired by John Nagy and winning a few contests, but later I apprenticed with the watercolorist Andrew Stasky who encouraged me to paint in transparent watercolor — where the light travels through many layers of paint to the viewer creating a fresh, clean painting.

Your new exhibit sounds stunning with a 360º view of the

Adirondacks that includes a series of eight paintings. What is it about the mountains that attracts you so?

I was an outdoor guide licensed by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation for decades. The Adirondacks possess the calm of a woodland pond, the roar of a gorge in the spring and have ever-changing personalities from season to season. I know practically every trail in the mountains — its waterfalls, rocks and

I am going to show examples of sketches and notes that I worked from, even the ones that didn’t deliver the look I wanted. It will show how the Adirondack paintings, which took two and a half years to complete, finally evolved.

What would you like the viewer to take away from this exhibit?

I would like people to see in my paintings something in nature that they may have missed or wish to experience. I especially want to share with the viewers all the beauty I have witnessed.

View Rick Mundy’s exhibit at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum, 440 Montauk Highway, Great River from Aug. 30 to Sept. 30. The arboretum is open Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For parking fees and restaurant information visit www.
