St. James fire commissioners propose new $12.25M firehouse

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM Firefighters are known for running into danger, but it can be difficult to get to the scene when firefighters are facing significant risk simply getting to their trucks.

St. James fire commissioners are asking residents to consider a $12.25 million capital bond project to build a new 22,458-squarefoot Jefferson Avenue facility Sept. 19.

“We are not looking to build a luxurious firehouse, as other communities have,” St. James Fire District Chairman Lawrence Montrose wrote in a letter with other commissioners. “We are simply looking to provide our dedicated volunteers with the basic and modern resources they need to effectively do their job — a job that protects and serves the residents of this community in their greatest times of need.”

The fire district’s existing Jefferson Avenue facility sustained significant damage in an August 2016 storm. The building’s pre-existing infrastructure issues allowed 6 to 18 inches of water to rise up through the floors, flooding the building, according to the St. James Fire District commissioners through a spokesperson. The flood caused cracks to the weight-bearing walls in the truck bay and worsened stress cracks in the fire chief and commissioner’s offices, in addition to plumbing and electrical damage.

Since the flood, Jefferson Avenue volunteer firefighters have been getting into their

A rendering of what the front of the proposed new St. James firehouse would look like. gear in one building before running across the parking lot to get on a truck. While this is happening, the fire commissioners said other volunteers are often still entering the parking lot, creating a major safety concern.

Volunteers are in danger of being hit by incoming vehicles as they cross to the trucks.

“One instance was almost a catastrophic event,” said the fire commissioners. “One individual fell in the parking lot and was almost run over by an exiting fire truck.”

Other safety issues have arisen. Two of the district’s fire companies are operating out of what was originally the storage and maintenance structure built on the rear of the property. Trucks responding to one of the district’s 1,298 calls in 2016 also had to maneuver through the traffic. Fire commissioner chiefs compared the situation to playing the video game Frogger.

The proposed Jefferson Avenue facility, if approved by voters, would be more

than three times the size of the existing 7,407-square-foot building. The additional space would include spaces to serve as accommodations for firefighters and community members during storms or major emergencies, in addition to a meeting room for district and public use. It would be built in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as the current firehouse is not.

If voters approve the project, construction

IMAGINE YOURSELF WITHOUT BELLY FAT Are you at your wit’s end trying to get rid of it?

STRESS, HORMONES & HEALTH

Nestled on the north side of St. Johnland Road in Kings Park is the Obadiah Smith House, said to have been built by Obadiah (1687-1765), the grandson of Richard Smythe, after his marriage to Susannah Stephens in 1708. It was the first house built on the west bank of the Nissequogue River, and was located close to the “going-over,” a section of the river that could be crossed at low tide, now at the end of Landing Road.

Owned by the Smithtown Historical Society, it remains closed to the public except for special tours and programs, and is now the subject of a new educational program being developed for middle school children.

The staff of the society had an opportunity to meet with Tim Eagan, superintendent of Kings Park Central School District, this July to discuss the connection between the building, Kings Park history, and educational standards for children. The society is looking forward to to creating a new program for local students.

Gail Hessel, of Kings Park, wrote a book “The Obadiah Smith House,” published by the historical society. What is truly fascinating is that the house was owned by members of the Smith family and their descendents from the time it was built until it was sold in 1940 — more than 230 years. Much of the original framing and fabric of the house is still intact.

The home faces south to take full advantage of light exposure and contains a mixture

of Dutch and English architecture. The house includes a narrow and deep winding staircase in the entranceway, a bridge that runs from the second floor to the back end of the property, and formal bedrooms, including a fancy room with a starburst-patterned cupboard.

The west end wall has a massive beehive oven that is at the back end of a large cooking fireplace that is 3-feet deep and 8-feet wide. This fireplace is special because it is one of the largest hearths in a colonial home on Long Island.

The Obadiah Smith House is one of the earliest Smith houses to survive the colonial period and is a valuable part of Smithtown’s history. In 1960, the property was purchased by the society, and restoration work began at that time. According to a field report completed during the 1980s, the property is so fragile, so vulnerable and of such historical and architectural importance that maintenance is essential for its survival. The society is currently working to raise enough funds to be able to finalize plans for repair and restoration.

Copies of Hessel’s book are available for purchase at the society’s offices, located at 239 E. Main St. in Smithtown. All proceeds from the sale of the book are put back into the account which will fund the restoration.

Marianne Howard is the executive director of the Smithtown Historical Society. For more information on the society, its events or programs or on becoming a member, visit www. smithtownhistorical.org or call 631-265-6768.

TOWN

Kings Park bar raises funds to rebuild Northport landmark It’s said that many hands make for light work, and if that’s true, the outpouring of community support for Gunther’s Tap Room will hopefully have it rebuilt in record time.

The uplifting refrain of “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey could be heard as dozens of Northport residents and their families attended a fundraiser Aug. 13 for Gunther’s Tap Room at the Park Lounge in Kings Park. Gunther’s has been closed since being consumed by an early-morning fire May 23.

John Weeden, owner of Park Lounge, said he hosted the $25-per-person community barbecue and extensive Chinese auction to raise money to help reopen Gunther’s Tap Room, and to financially aid its employees who have been without a job. Weeden declined to say how much was raised in total.

“I’d like to raise enough money to help them pay for whatever bills they have to reopen it. I thought it was the right thing to do,” said Weeden, who worked as a bartender at Gunther’s for 13 years. “I feel [Pete Gunther] would want that bar reopened. It was his legacy.”

Peter Gunther Sr., a late Northport native and ex-chief of the Northport Fire Department, owned and operated Gunther’s Tap Room since the 1960s, according to current coowner Brad Vassallo.

“Gunther’s is the bar of the people,” he said. “It’s been basically built amongst the patrons.”

Vassallo, who purchased Gunther’s with Eddie McGrath in 2016, said they are currently in the process of completing structural repairs to the more than 100-year-old building to make it safe and compliant with modern building codes.

“The town has been remarkable in terms of helping the process,” Vassallo said. “They and the community have been fantastic in trying to help us out — letting us do what we need to get this place reopened.”

How much it will cost to rebuild and restore the landmark bar to its former glory is still an unknown, according to Vassallo, saying that “it will be substantial.” The owners said they have run into a number of unforeseen repairs that have slowed down the process.

But several community members have stepped forward, offering donations of building supplies and skills to speed up that process. Some have offered their help to lay down new hardwood floors, and others offered to fix up the bathrooms.

“We are going to keep the aesthetics as similar as we can,” Vassallo said. “There will need to be some changes, but the color scheme and the way the bar was set up — we are going to keep it as close as we can to the original form.”

With Gunther’s closed for reconstruction, bartender Jani Zubkovs said it’s been difficult for him and the other employees. They’ve stayed in touch over the last few months on updates on the repairs and in trying to find other work.

“It’s an eyesore right now,” Zubkovs said. “I miss all the people, all my regulars. It’s the local Northport place where everybody knows each other.”

In an attempt to offset the financial hardship, Zubkovs has picked up bartending two nights a week at Elijah Churchill’s Public House on Fort Salonga Road in Northport.

Dozens of area businesses contributed to Sunday’s fundraiser by donating goods and services for the Chinese auction.

For those who missed the event, a GoFundMe campaign has been set up, with a goal of $75,000 to help the business reopen. Visit www.gofundme.com/gunthers-tap-room for more information or to donate to the restoration cause.

Despite the disruptions in construction, Gunther’s owners remain hopeful that beer will be flowing again within the next couple of months.

“It’s disappointing that me and Eddie just bought the place to have this kind of situation happen,” Vassallo said.

“The primary reason we took it over is that we made a vow. We wanted to keep Gunther’s Tap Room as it was, as Pete Gunther made it to be. We are doing everything we can to do that.”

ST. JAMES FIREHOUSE Continued from page A3 of the new Jefferson Avenue facility would start around six months after the vote and would be completed within one year. Volunteer response to emergencies would not be interrupted by the construction, according to the district.

Regardless of voters’ decision, St. James fire commissioners said they will move forward with selling off the Route 25A/Lake Avenue building, purchased by the district for $500,000 in 2013. Due to the facility’s age, it’s not suited for the district’s needs.

The estimated cost of the proposed plan to consolidate to one Jefferson Avenue facility would be an increase of approximately $118 to $198 a year for taxpayers based on their home’s assessed value.

St. James Fire District will be holding a public information session for those who wish to learn more Aug. 29 at the Jefferson Avenue firehouse at 7 p.m. Residents can also tour existing facilities Sept. 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sept. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. and Sept. 17 from 1 to 3 p.m.

The day marks the first total solar eclipse to happen in North America since 1979, and it’s the first one to stretch from coast to coast in 99 years. In a total solar eclipse the disk of the moon seems to entirely cover the disk of the sun. This will happen Monday on a path about 70 miles wide.

Unfortunately, Long Island isn’t on the eclipse’s path of totality, but you still will be able to see a partial eclipse. New York will have about 71 percent of the sun covered during the eclipse. At 1:24 p.m. the eclipse begins on Long Island, and will last till 4:01 p.m. The peak eclipse time is 2:46 p.m.

“I think it’s wonderful for families to experience this with their children,” NASA expert Laurie Cantillo said. “It could be an experience like this that will get a child to stop looking at a phone or tablet and look up to the sky and perhaps motivate them to want to learn more.”

Fredrick Walters, an astronomy professor at Stony Brook University, has put together a list of ways to maximize your viewing experience of the eclipse. Walters said to focus on looking at the stars emerging during the daytime, the shadow bands that will appear across the land and the changing colors as the light fades.

Most importantly, you need to have the proper viewing tool: eclipse glasses. Regular sunglasses won’t cut it, and it’s very dangerous to directly expose your eyes to the sun.

“We’ve all been taught ever since we were kids don’t ever look directly at the sun and that advice applies,” Cantillo said.

“The only time it’s safe to remove eclipse

glasses is if you’re in the path of totality, during those couple minutes of totality.”

Unprotected viewing may not cause immediate pain, but Walters said he has heard of cases of people waking up the next morning with blurry vision or blindness. Some people can recover in months to years, but it’s not worth the risk.

The professor said that these special glasses are basically pieces of Mylar foil shielding your eyes. The glasses should be from proper sources that are certified by testing organizations.

“If you have a pair of eclipse glasses and want to test them, put them on and look — not at the sun — but just look at bright lights and things.” Walters said. “If you can see anything, throw them away. You shouldn’t be able to see [anything] except the sun.”

If you can’t get a pair of eclipse glasses in time, you can DIY them by putting a small round hole in an index card and project the image of the sun onto a flat surface.

“One thing you will notice if you don’t look at the sun through your glasses is if you look at the shadows on the ground, you’ll see the shadows are crescentshaped,” Walters said.

Leaves in the trees could act as projection tools too, casting multiple tiny crescent-shaped shadows on the ground.

During the partial phase, according to Walters, you won’t notice anything besides the sun getting dimmer.

“Unless, you look at the sun through your eclipse glasses, and you can see the sun is no longer circular — there’s a chunk taken out of it,” Walters said. “But, nothing much changes until you have the total phase of the eclipse because the sun just fades.”

Viewers along the path of totality will have a different viewing experience than Long Islanders.

“Inside the path of totality is completely different, it will be night for two and a half minutes.,” Walters said. “The sun gets completely blocked out, the corona of the sun is about as bright as the full moon, that will provide illumination.”

Walters also pointed out that in the path of totality, regular colors might appear different. Where sunrises and sunsets usually appear to have reddish tints, during the eclipse the tone will have a blue tinge. Another thing to notice is temperature; during the peak eclipse things will get colder.

Eclipses have provided researchers with data to uncover scientific discoveries. This time, the scientists are letting the public partake in their findings.

“One of the things that is being planned for next Monday is the National Solar Observatory and the National Science Foundation have handed out a number of telescopes [and] cameras to people along the eclipse line,” Walters said. “The idea is to have them take pictures and movies and stitch it all together to a 90-minute-long movie of how the sun’s corona is changing.

This has never been done.”

If you miss this eclipse, don’t fret because another one is coming April 8, 2024, that will run from Texas through Maine — and upstate New York will be in the path of totality.

“It’s almost a mystical experience — you really have to experience this,” Walters said. “It’s good scientifically, but it’s really a great thing to observe on a human level.”

News 12 meteorologist Rich Hoffman said in an email that the weather forecast for Aug. 21 is good, even though things could change between press time and the eclipse. Hoffman said mostly sunny skies are expected for the day with temperature highs near 84.

Astronomy Crafts From noon to 2:00 p.m. Huntington Public Library will be offering an astronomy craft session at its main building as well as the Huntington Station branch.

Embracing diversity in art

Six student-artists from Smithtown High School East had their artwork selected for inclusion in the Suffolk Center on the Holocaust, Diversity and Human Understanding’s Embracing Our Differences art exhibit.

High School East students Stephanie Berdon, Brooke Berroyer, Allison Cleary, Alexandra Granelle, Faith Leonard and Alexandra Thode submitted work from teacher Dianne Shanian’s photography class in the spring semester. Their artwork

will be on display this summer at the CHDHU located at Suffolk County Community College, Ammerman Campus in Selden.

The 12-by-8 foot murals will be unveiled at an opening reception on Aug. 24 and will remain on display through Sept. 5.

Above, five of the students are pictured with Michael Mastrangelo, Smithtown Central School District’s director of fine arts (left), High School East art teacher Dianne Shanian (center) and High School East Assistant Principal Jason Pettis.

Creating clay creations Smithtown Central School District student-artists who participated in the Yay Clay program didn’t mind getting their hands dirty this summer.

Students used clay and plaster to create 3-D artwork including bowls, masks, animals and other figures. The program, which ran in July for students entering grades 1-3, was part of the SCOPE Summer Explorations Program housed at Accompsett Middle School.

Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) lauded the collection of the 1,000th pint of blood donated under her watch at yesterday’s blood drive. Hosted by the New York Blood Center, the event was held outside Kennedy’s legislative office in Hauppauge.

The blood drive featured a barbecue set up by the department of public works and music provided by the department of information technology’s own band. Turnout at the blood drive exceeded expectations; over 60 individuals volunteered to contribute a pint each to the blood center’s blood banks, bringing the total donation through Kennedy’s events to 1,007 pints. Thankfully, food and drink remained plentifully available in spite of the unexpectedly high turnout thanks to the generous food donations from Stop and Shop,

Manino’s, Buona Sera, Butera’s, King Kullen, and Panico’s Market. Those who attended the blood drive also donated non-perishable food items to Long Island Cares. Each blood donor will receive two free Met’s tickets in the mail.

“I am thankful to each and every one of you who took the time out of your schedules to potentially save a life,” Kennedy said.

“And for the food donors, the phlebotomists who manned the donations stations, the IT band and the custodians at public works who all pitched in to make this event not only a possibility, but a stirring success.”

Kennedy’s next blood drive will be held at the Ronkonkoma Street Fair Sept. 3. All are encouraged to attend and donate.

For more information about this event or other events in the community, please call Kennedy’s office at 631-854-3735.

Kings Park Great grad Syndi Barish graduated from Kings Park High School in 2012. She has since graduated from The College of New Jersey with a double major in biology and applied mathematics and just finished her first year at Yale where she is pursuing a doctorate in genetics. According to Syndi, “While most of my classmates at Yale started doing research in college, and many of them only decided to go into research in college, I was fortunate to be exposed to research through Kings Park High School’s Independent Science Research program, and after working in a lab at Stony Brook while doing my Intel project, I realized that I wanted to go into research.” Syndi is just one of many Kings Park High School ISR graduates who have been successful in graduate and doctoral research settings.

This past year, Syndi had two first author papers published. She was involved in two different research projects at The College of New Jersey, one in biology and one in math. One of her published papers stemmed from her biology research at TCNJ and details a method she developed to do her research on plant species. Another is from her math research and deals with a method to determine the robustness of a given cancer treatment across several different individuals. This paper was just

published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last week, which is one of the top journals in science. An article about this paper can be accessed on the TCNJ website at www.science.tcnj.edu.

According to Tim Eagen, Kings Park superintendent of schools, “We are very proud of Syndi. She was an exceptional ISR student while attending KPHS, and she was destined to perform and publish science research. Our ISR program continues to thrive in Kings Park, and Syndi is a prime example of our success.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Safety questions and concerns

There’s no doubt that what happened at Sachem High School East Aug. 10 was a tragedy — no family should have to bury their child, no less a 16-year-old who was simply dropped off for summer football practice.

In the wake of junior Joshua Mileto’s death following a football drill, there are some serious questions. How tough should sports training and conditioning be for high school athletes? Are kids being pushed too far?

Are involuntary, offseason workouts supervised and held to the standards of an in-season, mandatory practice?

Mileto was killed during training camp when a 10-foot, 400-pound log he and four teammates were carrying over their heads fell and struck him — a drill similar to one employed by Navy SEALS, but with a log half as heavy. Were the coaches properly trained in how to perform the drill? Should a defensive back and wide receiver — especially one who is 5 feet 6 inches tall, 134 pounds and just 16 years old — be taking part in this drill?

Building camaraderie, coordination and strength are admirable goals in team sports, but having kids running beneath a log is a reckless way to try to achieve them. In this case, it was tragically reckless. The overwhelming number of injuries and deaths that occur during practices and, in some cases, games, are impossible to anticipate and fall largely under the assumed risks of playing any contact sport — but a death like Mileto’s is different. Risks were either ignored or missed, and clearly outweighed any potential reward.

Section XI Executive Director Tom Combs said in a statement that “sometimes coaches are in attendance and sometimes trainers are there, but it can’t be mandatory,” referring to offseason practices, which are not subject to the same restrictions and stanPhoto from Facebook dards as in-season practices. “It’s up to the individual schools on Joshua Mileto how they handle offseason workouts,” he added.

Although offseason camps are not mandatory, most 16- and 17-yearolds would likely assume it would be detrimental to their standing on a team to miss team activities, and they would probably be right.

The editorial staff reached out to districts and football coaches across our coverage area to find out about policies employed by our districts, or possible changes programs might explore as a reaction to the accident. While we understand there are legality issues that may arise, we were disappointed to be turned away by coaches and press contacts in attempting to gain some insight to find out what some of our North Shore standards are. It is beholden upon coaches at all times, especially in the aftermath of an unimaginable tragedy, to reassure parents that their kids are safe when dropped off for practice — voluntary or otherwise. They were not interested in telling us but we hope they’d tell you, if asked.

We believe, even with this being an offseason camp, there should be a swift rule response to protect young athletes. This unfortunate death has affected everyone, and the only way to learn from the incident is to talk about the problem, the dangers of football, and check our priorities. Safety should be the priority. We should be talking about how to prevent future tragedies.

Zeldin: This is a time to be an American Anyone associating themselves with the KKK and Nazism is associating themselves with hatred, bigotry, racism, intolerance and a tremendously inhumane past filled with horrible evil. This is one of the extremes that exist in our society that has a long history of trying to tear us apart.

We are still learning the facts of what happened in Charlottesville, and there is evidence that the violence came from multiple groups and multiple sides, and really no one can be defended who traveled to this beautiful, historic city for the sole purpose

of causing physical harm to others.

It’s indefensible.

For that domestic terrorist who drove that car through that crowded street, his homicidal behavior must result in a prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. For the protesters with pure, good, genuine and peaceful purposes, I think it is very important you were brave enough to be there to lend your voice. For any of the protesters on either side with extremist views and violent purposes, you are 100 percent completely in the wrong.

I have spent a great deal of

time in Charlottesville throughout my life, including an entire summer one year in the Army, and it really is one of the greatest cities we have in this country — so rich in history and culture, including our nation’s Founding Fathers.

This isn’t a time to be left or right, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat. This is a time to be an American. Quite candidly, every day should be the perfect day to be an American first. United.

Lee Zeldin U.S. Representative 1st Legislative District

Good people getting recognized for good deeds I want to applaud TBR News Media for running uplifting articles.

I enjoyed reading the editorial column on Aug. 10 in The Village Beacon Record titled

“Giving is great.”

It is always heartwarming to know that there are good people of all ages performing good deeds, and that they do get their well-earned recognition

from time to time.

Antoinette Donato Vice President Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society

A clever new take on an old classic I just read Daniel Dunaief’s Aug. 10 “None of the Above” column titled “Who’s on first in

Trump’s Washington ballgame” in The Village Beacon Record.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

Thank you.

OPINION A plea for fact-based reporting from the left and right

J

ournalists need to embrace Detective Sgt. Joe Friday’s line from “Dragnet,” “Just the facts, ma’am.”

Caught up in intense public passions, journalists can either throw their opinions at the inflamed cacophony or they can seize an opportunity to do something that has escaped most politicians: Represent broader interests.

We live in a world of spin, where claims and counterclaims come out so

By Daniel Dunaief rapidly that reality has become a blur. The challenges in sifting through fact and fiction have increased as officials of all stripes shout their truths from the rooftops, even if they have an obstructed view of the world down below.

When I was in journalism school more than two decades ago, a good

D. None of the above

friend from Bulgaria, who was one of the few people who could pronounce my name correctly when she read it in my mailbox, shared her writing with me.

I noticed a flaw in the way she recorded dialogue. The quotes in her story often lacked the syntax and vocabulary that native English speakers possess. When I asked if she only spoke with other Bulgarians, she playfully punched my shoulder and said she needed to hear better.

That was an unintentional consequence of the way someone who spoke three languages translated the world.

The chasm today between what people say and what others hear, even those who speak the same language, has gotten wider. Editors and reporters return to their desks or take out their laptops, ready to share quotes, events and facts.

These fellow members of the media may find themselves seeing what they want to see, much like the parent of an athlete on a field or a coach who has become an advocate or cheerleader. In

editorials, where we’re clearly sharing an opinion, that works, but in news reports we should share the facts, offer context — and increase the value of fact-based reporting.

With facts under regular assault, the search for them, and the ability to verify them, becomes even more important.

A divided nation needs balanced, fair, accurate and defensible reporting. In their publications, scientists share materials and methods sections, which should allow other researchers to conduct the same experiments and, presumably, find the same results. Far too often, opinions disguised as news urge people to trust the writer. Why? Readers should be able to pull together the same raw materials and decide for themselves.

I know government officials don’t always deal in facts. I also know numbers can be repackaged to suit an agenda, turning any conclusion into a specious mix of farce and mental acrobatics. To wit, he’s the best lefthanded hitter every Tuesday there’s a full moon below the Mason-Dixon

line. Just because it’s presented as a fact doesn’t mean we have to report it or even mock it. If it’s meaningless, then leave it alone. The argument that other journalists are doing it doesn’t make it acceptable.

Several years ago, someone called to berate me for what he considered errors in my story. Rather than shout him down, I gave him the chance to offer his perspective. Eventually he calmed down and we had a measured, detailed discussion. This became the first of numerous conversations and interactions in which he provided important perspectives and shared details I might not otherwise have known.

Reporters face a public acutely aware of its own anger. Almost by definition in a country where the two major political parties struggle to find common ground, some group of readers disagrees with our coverage. We shouldn’t try to please everyone. In fact, we should try to please no one — we should merely work harder. It’s time to allow facts to speak for themselves.

Wordplay is our antidote to political chaos

3. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you re-

4. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

5. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

6. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

7. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn’t get it.

8. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

9. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

10. Karmageddon: It’s like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it’s, like, a serious bummer.

11. Decafalon (n): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

Nonprofit is making life easier for former boxers Ring 10 raises money to help abandoned fighters, those down on their luck

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com It was one of the few times Howard Davis Jr.’s wife saw him cry in public.

The Glen Cove native and Olympic gold medalist who made history in 1976 as the first amateur boxer to win the New York Golden Gloves tournament four years in a row had just about lost hope that he would ever get back his coveted awards, which were stolen from him and sold at a garage sale.

That all changed Sept. 13, 2015, when he was honored by Matt Farrago and his New York-based nonprofit, Ring 10, during a gala at Marina del Rey Caterers in the Bronx.

Davis, who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer earlier that year at 59 and was on a personal mission to retrieve the mementos for his family before it was too late, was presented with four golden pendants.

Each one was a perfect replica of his lost golden gloves pendants, made and paid for by Ring 10. Veteran fighters from the nonprofit took turns placing them around his neck.

All Davis could do was bury his head in his hands.

“It was such an emotional moment and it was all because of Matt Farrago and Ring 10,” his wife Karla Guadamuz-Davis said, adding that the organization regularly helped pay for her now-late husband’s expensive medical treatment. “After Howard passed away on

Clockwise from top, Ring 10 boxers smile during a fundraiser; Ring 10 founder Matt Farrago with board member Richard Schwartz; and Farrago with the late boxer and gold medalist Howard davis Jr. said they anticipate some younger guys currently in the ring coming to them for help.

“Boxers are basically pawns to be moved around,” said Richard Schwartz, one of the board of directors. “I also think there’s the feeling that a lot of people just don’t care — they don’t care about the modern-day gladiators who get in the ring to entertain them, who risk their lives. Once they hang up their gloves and a lot of the hits to the head kick in, many of them don’t even have any kind of medical insurance when they need it most.

Where is Don King? Where is Oscar De La Hoyas? These people have made hundreds of millions of dollars from the sweat, blood and tears of these fighters, and where are they?”

To Burton, a boxer who has been swindled out of a fair share of money over the years, there’s hope as long as Farrago is around.

“Everything he says he does, he actually does,” Burton said. “He goes beyond what’s expected of him and he’ll help anybody. If you’re down on your luck, Matt will find a way to raise money for you. Ring 10 is helping as many fighters as we can.”

The Ring 10 7th Annual Fundraiser will be held at the Marina del Rey Caterers in the Bronx Sept. 24 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
