SPLIA adds Setauket’s Eato House to its endangered list By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com The Eato House located in Setauket’s Bethel-Christian Avenue-Laurel Hill Historic District has a chance to be restored and put to public use. The structure that is currently owned by the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Setauket was recently added to the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities List of Endangered Historic Places. The house was once home to the Rev. David Eato, one of the church’s first pastors, and his wife Mary Baker, a freed slave. Bethel AME historian, Carlton “Hub” Edwards, said when Mary moved to the North after being freed from slavery she settled in Port Washington where she was an organist at a church. It was there that she met Eato and, after marrying, the couple moved to Setauket and the reverend became one of the first ministers of Setauket’s Bethel AME in the early 1900s. Mary took on the role of superintendent of the Sunday school and held the position until the late 1930s. Edwards said the members of the Eato family owned the house until the church purchased it a few years ago. The historian would like to see the structure utilized to educate people about local African-American history and the influence of the Setalcott Native Americans in the area. “I think they should do something with it because it’s one of the oldest houses here in the historical district, and I hate to see old

For the past few years, the church has been working with Higher Ground Intercultural and Heritage Association, a nonprofit historical group, to have the Eato House restored, according to Robert Lewis, president of the association. “Higher Ground has a preservation interest and an intercultural interest,” Lewis said. “There is the Native American culture and African-American culture, so we were looking to create a portion of the structure for a historic interpretation study center.” He said the plot of land originally belonged to Richard Hawkins, who was known for setting up private sales for prospective buyers who were unable to get a loan from the bank during the Jim Crow era when African-Americans couldn’t borrow money. However, Lewis said he’s not sure if Baker

had to buy the house privately from Hawkins or did obtain a loan. Lewis said a preliminary sketch has been drawn to present to the Town of Brookhaven’s Historic District Advisory Committee, and the church had completed some work on the inside before running out of money for restoration. He said the recognition by SPLIA will help with plans to move forward. Sarah Kautz, SPLIA preservation director, said many structures added to previous lists, which has been published every other year since 2010, have been saved and renovated. Among the success stories are the Roslyn Grist Mill and the John Coltrane Home in Dix Hills. She said the mission of the list is to raise awareness with the hope that community members will initiate conversations about what problems a structure might face and come up with ideas on how to save it.

“Each [structure] shares a broad story that is important for historic reasons, architectural reasons, and they lend an aesthetic value to communities,” Kautz said. “They’re great for tourism and a sense of place. Other than that, they really need the community to embrace them.” Kautz said one of the reasons the home was added to the list is because it’s a significant representation of the story of AfricanAmericans as well as freed slaves in the area. “It’s a really important early story of home ownership of people of color, especially African-Americans in the Jim Crow era,” Kautz said. “This is before civil rights.” She said another interesting factor is there are memories and photos that will make renovation easier. “It has great potential to be restored,” the preservation director said. “We know a lot about it, we have a lot of photos. There is a lot of great oral history from within the community. People remember, people who spent time in the house or with their grandparents.” She said many times buildings such as the Eato House are torn down or altered extensively, and the list can serve another purpose to those involved with older homes. “[It shows] how homeowners and property owners can celebrate and recognize that part of their value,” Kautz said. “Rather than demolish or do inappropriate renovations that completely erase the historic character they can, instead, celebrate and recognize it.”

Rally in Charlottesville hits close to home By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com When Vice News premiered a documentary on HBO about the recent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, the story took a local twist when it featured former Stony Brook resident Christopher Cantwell. Cantwell, who currently lives in Keene, New page a26 Hampshire, is a white supremacist who hosts an alternative right call-in show, “Radical Agenda,” which is live streamed through Facebook and UStream. In the Vice documentary, he can be seen with other marchers holding torches and chanting: “Jews will not replace us” and “White lives matter.” During the filming, after being sprayed with mace in his eyes, he said he was attacked by counter-protesters and called them “communists.” Cantwell did not respond to multiple different requests for comment. Calls to a residence connected to him on Skylark Lane in Stony Brook were not answered, and when a News 12 Long Island reporter approached a man in the driveway of the home, the man denied knowing Cantwell. It was seen on his website in recent days that Cantwell now fears for his life.

Editorial comment

Vice documentary

After seeing the Vice documentary, one of Cantwell’s childhood friends, who declined to be interviewed, reacted on Facebook. “I remember five years ago when I removed him from my page when he started spewing hate speech,” he said. “I may not agree with our government, but I’ll be dead before I align myself with people like this. All of this makes it too real, too close to home and too sad to even comprehend. I feel bad for them really, to live life based solely on hatred of people for a reason based solely in their minds.” The last mention of a Cantwell in the Ward Melville High School yearbooks was in 1997. He was listed as a camera-shy sophomore. His website provides insight into his white supremacist beliefs and why he participated in protesting the removal of a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville’s Emancipation Park. “Here at the Radical Agenda, we’ve made no secret of our utter contempt for the subhuman filth commonly referred to as the Left,” he wrote Aug. 7. “Their Marxist, anti-human war on reality is an ideological contaminant that makes HIV look appealing by comparison. So, we’ve literally made a career out of producing war propaganda against them.” On Aug. 10, before the rally that resulted in the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, he posted a message on his website that could only be seen in its entirety if the reader was an existing paying member to his site. He had disabled new membership sign-ups. “I’m in Charlottesville, Virginia for the Unite the Right Rally this coming Saturday,” he said in a preview of the post. “Since we have been meeting so much opposition from both the criminal elements and the municipal government alike, we’ve had to exercise a great deal of caution in terms of operational security.” Cantwell said he was with a reporter, Elle Reeve from Vice, who was covering the rally.

Former stony Brook resident chris cantwell sprays mace in a man’s face during the protest in charlottesville, Virginia. After the documentary aired on HBO, a photo surfaced of Cantwell attacking someone with pepper spray. In an Aug. 17 post on his website he referenced the photo. He said the man was coming directly for him and another person was approaching him from his left, and believed his safety was being threatened. “I sprayed in self-defense, while holding a flashlight in my left hand,” he said. “In my mind, this was the minimal level of force I could use to deter this threat.” He posted a YouTube video saying he feared he would be arrested, and appeared on the verge of tears. In the Aug. 17 website post, he said he was preparing to turn himself over to University of Virginia police. Calls to the police department to confirm warrants were issued were not returned. Although the Vice film showed him unloading guns strapped to his waist and legs onto the bed of a hotel room, he said he did not bring his guns to the rally.

Cantwell living locally

Cantwell is no stranger to run-ins with the law, according to Southern Poverty Law Center’s website, a watch group dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry. In 2000, Cantwell pleaded guilty to fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and driving while intoxicated in Suffolk County. He served four months of a six-month jail sentence. During a failed attempt to run to represent New York’s 1st Congressional District in 2009 as a Libertarian candidate, he was arrested a second time for DWI. He faced up to two years in prison. He eventually took a deal and served 28 days of a 45-day plea bargain. Cantwell admitted to his DWI arrests in a speech he gave at a Suffolk/Nassau Libertarian Party Convention June 14, 2014. He said at the age of 19 he became very drunk and while driving his car realized he was too drunk to drive and parked his car to sleep. He said the next day he woke up in jail. Nine years later, he said he was out on a date and said he was careful with the amount of drinking he was doing. He was pulled over for speeding in East

Hampton. His blood alcohol limit was measured at .01 over the legal limit. In the speech, Cantwell said before the trial his vehicle was seized and his driver’s license suspended. Due to paying thousands in bail and attorney fees, he lost his job and apartment. He began to study government, and said he started to “figure out that government is a violent, evil monster portraying itself as a peacemaker and savior.” “That far from being that which brings order to society, it is responsible for more carnage and misery than any other institution in the history of mankind,” he said. During the convention speech, Cantwell said he was leaving New York. “New York is a hopeless cesspool of government violence and corruption,” he said. In another Aug. 17 post, Cantwell said he was blocked by PayPal, Venmo, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and MailChimp. He discovered his online dating profiles at OKCupid, Match and Tinder were disabled — sites he said he used for the pursuit of romance. East Setauket’s Stefanie Werner, although hoping that others don’t associate white supremacy with the Three Villages, can see how a mindset like Cantwell’s develops. “The news about a white supremacist with roots in the Three Village area, although disturbing, should not be altogether shocking,” she said. “I have lived here all of my life and began my teaching career at Ward Melville. Walking the halls of Ward Melville High School, or any other high school in the country, there exists a diverse set of personalities that have yet to fully develop. Adolescent ideals turn to adult ideologies, and it only takes one experience, positive or negative, to help mold these beliefs into a solid foundation. It is sad, and a tad frightening that this particular mindset developed in a community where many may turn a blind eye to the existence of this antithetical culture. However, the current political arena is nurturing this thought process, and this community needs to heighten its awareness of the clashing principles of the modern era.”

Community reaction

Three Village residents and religious leaders were asked how they felt when they heard Christopher Cantwell was from Stony Brook. Terry Shapiro: “As an American Jew, I am horrified. Anti-Semitism has a long history in Suffolk County. That is why it is so important to have a representative who speaks out firmly against bigotry in the White House. U.S. Rep Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) has not done so. He has not held Mr. Trump accountable. As long as we have a bigot in the White House and members of Congress who refuse to censure him, I fear that anti-Semitism will continue to resurface.” Rabbi Steven A. Moss (chairperson of the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission): “There’s no place on earth that is exempt from this kind of behavior. The question then becomes what do the rest of us do. Therefore what we try to do is model ourselves on the idea that evil occurs when good people do nothing. So we organize task forces and people. We need to speak out and make sure we condemn when appropriate this kind of behavior and speak out against it and not simply turn aside.” Shoshana Hershkowitz: “Chris Cantwell is a reminder that hate exists in all communities. It is deeply upsetting to me that a young man who was raised in our area, was taught in our schools, came away with this frightening worldview and ideology. We need to examine the racism that exists where we live and confront it in our homes and schools. This must be our response to hate if we are to combat it effectively.” Arnold Wishnia: “I learned that Cantwell came from Stony Brook from you. I Googled him and discovered that I had in fact seen the TV clip where this vile Nazi boasted about strengthening himself for violence, and said he would kill if he had to. Cantwell may be an extreme, but I am not shocked that violence-prone racists can be found in Stony Brook. Suffolk County has a history of KKK and Nazi activity from the 1930s. My sons encountered this kind of unthinking, violence-threatening racism as students at Ward Melville High School, I am disturbed and disappointed to find out that anyone is a Nazi, but not surprised that Stony Brook has bred some.” The Rev. Kate Jones Calone (director of Open Door Exchange at Setauket Presbyterian Church): “We cannot pretend that prejudice and racism do not exist in our area, whether explicit, subtle or unintentional. The question is how we address it. In my faith, God grieves over separation and longs for reconciliation. If we are to build a community grounded in equity and love, we need first to understand why things are not that way and take action to change it. This requires real commitment, hard work, humility and a willingness to confront what stands in the way. Starting in elementary school, schools, parents and adult leaders need to teach more than simple kindness; they need to teach kids to be affirmatively and actively inclusive and anti-racist. And we need to educate ourselves on why Long Island is among the top 10 most segregated places in the country.”

PJV acquires land in deal that may speed up Billie’s reopening

‘I’m looking to get Billie’s up and running for my concerned friends and villagers who have been asking.’ — Joey Zangrillo

By Alex PetroSki alex@tbrnewspapers.com File photo by Alex Petroski

A June 2016 fire has left Billie’s 1890 Saloon closed ever since, but the wheels are in motion to get the establishment reopened.

150005

A decades-old Port Jefferson institution that has remained closed since a June 2016 fire could be moving toward reopening, thanks in large part to an agreement between Port Jefferson Village and the building owner. Billie’s 1890 Saloon had to close its Main Street doors June 27 last year after a fire in the kitchen caused severe damage, and exposed several building code violations that required remedy before the business could be reopened. During an Aug. 7 village board meeting, Mayor Margot Garant and the board of trustees approved a resolution that should expedite the process. Among the code violations — of which there were about 20 — from the village’s building department was a requirement for the installation of a bathroom that meets requirements laid out by the Americans with Disabilities Act. An ADA compliant bathroom would not fit on the main level of the building, which houses the bar, according to Garant, so instead, the building owner planned to move the kitchen to the basement and turn the former kitchen on the main floor into the new restrooms. Because of the change of use of the building, an aspect of the village code was triggered requiring additional parking spaces be added. Being that no space was available on the property for the additional parking, the building owner could instead submit a payment in lieu of parking to the village, which is allowed under the code. Instead of squaring the requirement with actual dollars, the village and building owner Joey Zangrillo entered into an agreement for Zangrillo to deed over land in the rear of the property, which is currently used for parking, over to the village. As a result, Zangrillo will essentially own the property that houses the building, and the remainder of the parcel will be deeded to the village. “In talking with parking committee and Larry [LaPointe, deputy mayor], we find the land to be extremely valuable,” Garant said during the meeting. “You can’t really put a price point or tag on the size of the lot.” The deal would be subject to approval by Suffolk County prior to finalization to ensure moving the kitchen to the basement is adherent to county regulations. As a result of the deal, Billie Phillips — the original business owner for more than 35 years who was not at the helm at the time of the fire but has since entered a lease agreement with Zangrillo to reopen Billie’s 1890 Saloon — said he is hoping to be ready to reopen in early 2018. “This is a more than fair bargain from the village’s point of view,” said LaPointe, who is also a trustee, during the meeting. According to Garant, the area being acquired by the village is used as an informal parking area, though it will now have actual spaces painted and associated with municipal meters. Brian Egan, the village attorney, explained that the difference in owning municipal parking spaces and leasing them to property owners from the village’s perspective is that it prevents disputes, confusion and potential lawsuits when property changes hands. “Unlike every other municipality you would assume owns the municipal parking fields, we are a patchwork in that back parking lot,” he said. Zangrillo praised Garant and the village for their hard work in helping to facilitate the deal and get the establishment back on track for reopening. “The village has been nothing but extremely helpful to me as a landlord,” he said in a phone interview. “I’m looking forward to many, many years of a great relationship with my tenant. I’m looking to get Billie’s up and running for my concerned friends and villagers who have been asking.”

HISTORY CLOSE AT HAND

Robert Townsend, above, was one of the main spies of the Culper Spy Ring that received help from auxiliary spies who lived on Long Island and in Manhattan.

Deciphering the auxiliary spies of the Culper Spy Ring

153913

BY BEVERLY TYLER General George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring, based in Setauket, with spies operating in Manhattan, on Long Island and in many other locations in the theater of the Revolutionary War, was unusual for a number of reasons. These were the only spies to have an organization specifically organized by Washington and the only long-term operation provided with a specific purpose — to keep Washington informed on British activities in the city and on Long Island. Members of the Culper Spy Ring were also the only spies with an extensive code list, a specific invisible ink formula and procedures for their use outlined by Washington and the head of the spy ring in Setauket Abraham Woodhull. The Culper Spy Ring, a name that was given to the group’s operations because the two main spies, farmer Abraham Woodhull in Setauket and shop owner Robert Townsend in New York City, were given the identities Samuel Culper Sr. and Samuel Culper Jr. Townsend gathered intelligence in New York City and sent it to Woodhull in Setauket who coordinated the efforts of the other members of the spy ring. Austin Roe, a Setauket tavern owner, was the courier who traveled to Manhattan on a regular basis to order supplies for his tavern and brought back written and verbal intelligence he delivered to Woodhull. Captain Caleb Brewster then carried the spy information across Long Island Sound to Fairfield, Connecticut. Since Woodhull could not meet openly with Brewster, it fell to Anna Smith Strong to let him know where Brewster was hiding with his whaleboats and crews. This was the group of spies known as the Culper Spy Ring;

however, they did not operate without a large number of auxiliary spies, both in New York City and on Long Island, who provided them with intelligence as well as information that supported their efforts and helped to keep them safe. Spies in New York City who assisted the Culper Spy Ring included James Rivington, a New York City businessman and editor of Rivington’s Royalist Gazette, and Amos and Mary Underhill, who ran a boarding house in Manhattan where Abraham Woodhull stayed on his trips to New York to gather intelligence. Mary was Woodhull’s sister and her husband Amos was from Oyster Bay. He was also a second cousin to Robert Townsend. Hercules Mulligan ran a New York City tailoring business and was a good friend of Alexander Hamilton. He was an effective spy for Washington and communicated intelligence through Robert Townsend. Cato was an African American slave and spy courier for Hercules Mulligan, while Haym Salomon was a New York City shop owner and spy who was a suspected Patriot. Hugh Mulligan, brother of Hercules, ran Kortright & Co. that had contracts with the British Army. He provided valuable intelligence. Daniel Bissell was a spy for Washington who infiltrated into New York City and joined Benedict Arnold’s American Legion to provide intelligence on their movements and to seek a way to bring Arnold to justice. Lewis Costigin worked as a spy for Washington in New York City in 1778 and 1779. There was also Abraham Patten who unfortunately was hung as a spy in New York City in 1777, before the Culper Spy Ring was organized.

Proud to serve

After serving her country for 22 years in the United States Air Force and Air National Guard, retired Master Sergeant Melissa Pandolf is now serving veterans at Brookhaven Town Hall. “I am a veteran servicing veterans,” said Pandolf the town’s new veterans service officer. “Oftentimes the veterans and family members I meet with are not aware of the benefits and services they are entitled to. By assisting with paperwork and providing referrals, veterans and family members leave this office with confidence regarding their entitlements.” She brings with her a wealth of knowledge regarding the needs and concerns of Brookhaven veterans and their family members. Through Brookhaven Town’s Division of Veterans Services, Pandolf assists veterans with finding out benefits they are entitled to, completing applications and obtaining referrals. “Long Island is home to more veterans than anywhere in the country, so I expect Melissa will be very busy,” Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said. “So many veterans come home and have difficulty navigating though the process to get the benefits they deserve. They are fortunate to have Melissa here at Town Hall, ready to help.” “Our veterans have served their country with honor and we need to be there to help whenever they need it,” said town Councilman Michael Loguercio (R-Ridge), who serves as the Town Board Liaison to the Divi-

Theresa Homire

Theresa Homire, a former teacher in the Three Village Central School District died July 31. The daughter of Costantino and Assunta Bombardieri, she was born and raised in Brooklyn. She received her bachelors of arts from Brooklyn College and later taught in the Three Villages for several decades. She eventually moved to Centereach, where she lived with John Fitzgerald — also a longtime Three Village teacher— until he passed away. In 2008 she moved to Claremont, California with her daughter, Laura Zappulla, who died from unknown causes in 2012. Terry passed away unexpectedly in 2017 at San Antonio Regional Hospital in Upland, California at age 85, as the result of complications from pneumonia. She is survived by her son, Dr. Robert Zappulla, a professor at Claremont Graduate University; her daughter-in-law, Wendy; her grandchildren, Alex, Joyce, and Borah; and her two

dogs, Ollie and Yo-Yo. Terry had many friends in California who faithfully visited her in the hospital during her final months. She also had many close friends in New York with whom she remained in contact after she moved across the country. Terry completely loved and embraced life. She adored classical music — especially opera — and Broadway musicals, watching old films, and eating dinner out with friends. She loved animals, especially dogs, and spent a great many hours talking with her close friends at the Etiwanda Creek Community & Dog Park in Rancho Cucamonga, where she would regularly bring Ollie and Yo-Yo. Terry was an exceptionally sweet, kind, and generous woman with a wonderful sense of humor, and she was dearly loved by many, many people who will always miss her and never, ever forget her.

COUNTY

Suffolk County project holds opioid overdose prevention class BY JILL WEBB For five years the Suffolk County Department of Health’s Opioid Overdose Prevention Project has been doing their part to help community members save lives. To commemorate the project’s fifth anniversary an Opioid Overdose Prevention class was held July 31 at the William J. Lindsay County Complex in Hauppauge. The class trained participants in the essential steps to handling an opioid overdose: recognizing the overdose, administering intranasal Narcan, and what to do while the Emergency Medical Service teams are en-route. These training procedures meet the New York State Department of Health requirements, and at completion of the course, students received a certificate along with an emergency resuscitation kit, which contains the Narcan Nasal Spray. Narcan, also known as Naloxone, is administered to reverse an opioid overdose, and has saved many lives. Before the project was put into place, only advanced Emergency Medical Services providers could administer Narcan to overdose victims. “The No. 1 incentive is to receive a free Narcan kit,” Dr. Gregson Pigott, EMS medical director and clinical director of the Opioid Overdose Prevention Program, said. “That’s really the draw,” He said the class appeals to many people in the field, such as nurses or treatment professionals. AnnMarie Csorny, director of the depart-

ment of health’s community mental hygiene services, said another motivation to take the class is “to be better informed, and to have a kit available on you that you would be able to use should you see someone. It doesn’t always have to be your loved one, it could be someone in the community.” Starting in 2012, the department of health services’ division of emergency medical services has held more than 278 classes. Within this time, approximately 9,000 participants have learned how to recognize an opioid overdose and administer Narcan. Since its start, Narcan has saved the lives of over 3,000 individuals. Those who have been trained in administering Narcan include EMTs, school district staff and opioid users themselves. The program has developed from how to handle an overdose into adding a discussion of opioid addiction. “Initially it was just about recognizing signs and symptoms of overdose, how Naloxone is packaged, what it does, what it doesn’t do, what to expect when you administer it, and how to get a refill,” Pigott said. Now, the program integrates treatment aspects along with prevention techniques. “I don’t wanna say we just give them Narcan and say, ‘OK here’s how to give it out.’ Pigott said. “I’d like to give them a little bit more background on the epidemic and how we got to where we are, and resources. You have a lot of parents in there who are anxious that they have a son or daughter who is hooked on this stuff. They don’t just want Narcan, they want help for their son or daughter.”

The use of Narcan is demonstarted on a dummy during a training class given by the Suffolk County Department of Health. Taking it a step further, in 2016 the county health department started to work with local hospitals to get Narcan kits to those who are at risk of an opioid overdose. They also help educate them along with their families on the risk factors, signs, and symptoms of an opioid overdose. Suffolk County also operates, with the help of the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, a 24/7 substance abuse hotline at 631-979-1700. The line was established in April 2016 for crises, and has received 1,217 calls as of May 31. On the Opioid Overdose Prevention Program’s impact, Csorny believes it’s a start to tackling a huge issue.

“I think it’s certainly opened the discussion of lines of communication,” Csorny said. “It has, I believe, empowered people to get the support they need and to talk about the things that are not there.” While the program has educated hundreds of people, and saves many lives, Pigott knows more needs to be done in handling the opioid epidemic. “I’m realizing that Narcan isn’t the answer,” Pigott said. “It’s a nice thing to say, ‘Hey I got a save, this person was turning blue, not breathing, and then I squirted the stuff up the nose and we got them back.’ But then on the backside of that, the person wakes up and they’re like, ‘Ugh, what just happened to me?’ and then all of a sudden withdrawal kicks in.” Pigott said after the withdrawal kicks in the users will decide to get treatment or not to, and if they chose the latter they will most likely start using again — administrating Narcan isn’t going to change that. “That’s the biggest problem we have: it’s a quick fix, and you’re really not fixing anything,” Pigott said. “It’s much more complicated than just giving out Narcan.” The next step in handling the opioid epidemic, according to Pigott, is getting better treatment options. He said most of the county’s treatment programs are abstinence-based; detox programs in learning how to be drug-free. “It might be effective at the time but once you’re out of the program it’s easy to get tempted, easy to relapse,” Pigott said. “I think treatment needs to be addressed more and I think there needs to be more options for people.”

was noted in spy letters and correspondence as S.G. Selah Strong, a Brookhaven Town leader and husband of Culper spy Anna Smith Strong, is listed as executor of the will of Nathaniel Ruggles and as having saved Ruggles’ life by his effort he, “hath snatched me from the jaws of my adversaries and befriended me in every difficulty as far as was consistant with his duty as an honest man.” Strong was also a good friend and cousin of both Abraham Woodhull and Brewster. Isaac Thompson remained at his home and estate during the Revolutionary War. His home (now Sagtikos Manor) was visited by President Washington in April, 1790, and was one of four places Washington stayed to thank the Culper spies for their help. Thompson’s mother was Abraham Woodhull’s aunt. He grew up in Setauket and both his father and brother were active as captains in the Long Island militias and all three served with Selah Strong on the Brookhaven Town Board at one time or another. Benjamin Havens was an innkeeper in Center Moriches who married Selah Strong’s sister Abigail in 1754. Another sister, Submit, married Phillips Roe of Drowned Meadow, and yet another sister, Zipporah, married Rev. Benjamin Tallmadge, father of Washington’s Chief of Intelligence Benjamin Tallmadge. There are many other family connections. Haven’s was also a member of the Patriot Committee of Safety in Brookhaven together with Abraham Woodhull of Setauket and his cousin General Nathaniel Woodhull of Mastic. In addition, Rivington’s Royalist Gazette reported in July 1779, “Last week a party of Rebels had a feast at the home of Benj. Havens at Moriches (a most pernicious caitiff), and several of the inhabitants attended at this frolic. Wm. Phillips, Benajah Strong and Brewster gave this entertainment.” Havens is also believed to have provided intelligence to Major Benjamin Tallmadge that assisted his successful raid on Fort St. George in Mastic in November of 1780. Lieutenant Henry Scudder, a resident of Crab Meadow (Northport area), was a spy for the Continental Army. Scudder often penetrated enemy lines sending back important information on troop movements. Scudder and Bryant Scidmore drew a plan of Fort Slongo, which led to a successful attack on the fort.

Nathan Hale was the Continental Army captain who was the best friend of Benjamin Tallmadge at Yale. They both graduated in 1773 and became school teachers in Connecticut. As a member of Knowlton’s Rangers in 1776, Hale volunteered to go to Long Island for Washington, as a spy, to find out British plans for attacking and capturing Manhattan. He was unfortunately captured before he could complete his mission. He was hanged in Manhattan as a spy. His death and the words attributed to him, “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country,” inspired many to join the Patriot cause and others to remain in the Continental Army. In October, 1780, intelligence chief Benjamin Tallmadge wrote to Washington concerning the former Continental Army general and then traitor Benedict Arnold who had joined the British in New York City and was rounding up suspected Patriots to locate the members of the Culper Spy Ring. “The conduct of Arnold, since his arrival at N.Y. has been such, that though he know not a single link in the chain of my correspondence, still those who have assisted us in this way, are at present too apprehensive of danger to give their immediate useful intelligence. I hope as the tumult subsides matters will go on in their old channels.” Spies on Long Island who assisted the Culper Spy Ring included Joshua Davis, known in spy letter correspondence as J.D., was Brewster’s deputy, and Captain Nathan Woodhull, a second cousin of Abraham Woodhull, who provided intelligence to his cousin in Setauket and to Brewster from his location in Old Man’s (Mount Sinai). Nathaniel Ruggles was placed at Old Man’s by Benjamin Tallmadge to gather intelligence and was saved from exposure as a spy by the efforts of Selah Strong, husband of Culper spy Anna Smith Strong. Nathaniel Roe and Phillips Roe were both cousins of Culper Spy Ring courier Austin Roe. They provided intelligence through Culper spy Brewster from their home in Drowned Meadow (now Port Jefferson). Samuel Townsend, the father of Robert Townsend and an Oyster Bay town leader, was often in conflict with the other town leaders of Oyster Bay who suspected him of Patriot leaning.

Citizen scientists watch eclipse, help collect data at Maritime Explorium By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Inquiring minds of all ages arrived at the Maritime Explorium in Port Jefferson Aug. 21 to witness an extremely rare total solar eclipse — or Totality 2017 as some are calling it — the likes of which hadn’t happened in North America since the 1970s, or been visible from coast to coast in almost a century. They were greeted not only with the breathtaking once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon, but with another: Hundreds of observers turned citizen journalists helping to accumulate scientific data to be used by researchers across the country, most of whom were barely old enough to ride in the front seat of a car, let alone drive one. “I’ve heard a lot about it so it’s kind of incredible to be able to look and see it,” said Bella Fantauzzi, an 11-year-old from East Islip who made the trip to Port Jeff’s haven for youngsters interested in science on the historic day with her family. “I don’t know how to describe it. Something like this happens, this event, this widespread — my mom said I’m going to be in my 50s when I see [a countrywide eclipse] this happen again, so that’s incredible.” The event attracted about 200 guests during the course of the day. Attendees were given eclipse glasses until the supply ran out, though anyone interested in observing the happening was welcome to share with other onlookers. Around the grounds of Harborfront Park outside of the Explorium, representatives from the facility explained the science behind the eclipse and instructed kids on how to assist in the collection of data. The young scientists charted the temperature, percentage of the sky covered by clouds, the color of the sky and the visibility of the sun every five minutes beginning at 2 p.m. until the conclusion of the event. That data was being accumulated for NASA. Attendees also observed work being done by Neil Heft, the president of the Radio Central Amateur Radio Club, who

Clockwise from top, a special lens was used by photographer Jason Zimmerman to capture the eclipse at various points from Harborfront Park; a young citizen scientist tracks temperature data which will be used by NAsA; and attendees of the Maritime explorium event in Port Jeff take in the eclipse through special glasses. in accordance with a group called EclipseMob, accumulated radio wave data using cellphones and tablets which were then transmitted to researchers in Colorado as part of a nationwide crowdsourcing data collection effort. “I think it’s an amazing opportunity for young people to actually be involved in the process of making science, because I think in this climate in this day and age there’s a lot of questions about science, but here they’re witnessing something actually happening,” Angeline Judex, the executive director of the Explorium, said during the event. “We did not expect such a great turnout. It’s really a testament to how much people are interested in what’s going on around them in the environment.”

Heft said he’s not sure how the data might be applied by scientists going forward, but that’s not a unique situation for researchers to be in. “The last time we had an opportunity to do a test like this was 1925,” he said, adding this event was a golden opportunity because the researchers weren’t as disciplined at the time regarding organization of the data as they should have been back then, in addition to swaths of new technology available now. “I can’t tell you how they’re going to use [the data], your kids will probably know and, if not them, their kids will probably know.” Terri Randall, a board member at the Explorium and a science teacher, summed up what she hoped attendees, especially

kids, would take from participating in the rare event. “Everybody can be a scientist,” she said. “It’s not isolated to people in museums or in laboratories. So when you have an event like this you have an opportunity to really bring people together to explore, to explain, to learn, to investigate, to have their hands on true science.” The event achieved its purpose for at least one of the young attendees. “I’m going to learn about this,” Bella said of the eclipse. “I know I’m going to study it and research it, but I know I’m going to witness it today, so I’m pretty sure when I learn more about it, it will mean a whole lot more later on, but right now I’m kind of just excited to see it.”

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

the most effective club like this in the world.” One of Ring 10’s proudest success stories Dec. 30, 2015, I called Matt and said, ‘Thank is that of Iran “The Blade” Barkley, the World you for giving Howard some joy during the Boxing Council middleweight champion of last months of his life.’” 1988.

We made up of ex-fighters, a cutman and some took him in, got him settled, got him a place boxing advocates that meet once a month to live, had social services kick in and about a in the Bronx, the group stands as one of the year and a half ago he got married to a nurse.” few in the world that Barkley now serves on looks out for those who the group’s board of direchave been beaten in and tors, which also includes out of the ring.

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.

OPINION Editorial

Letters to the editor

To Zeldin: Not enough to pay lip service

Screenshot from HBO’s Vice News documentary

White supremacist Christopher Cantwell shows reporter Elle Reeve the weapons he brought to Charlottesville, Virginia, during a Vice News documentary.

No, Rep. Zeldin, it is not enough to pay lip service against the KKK and Nazism as you do in your Aug. 17 letter to the editor in The Village Times Herald [“Zeldin: This is a time to be an American”]. You then go on to parrot Mr. Trump’s false assertion that “there is evidence that the violence came from multiple groups and multiple sides,” and for “any of the protesters on either side with extremist views and violent purposes, you are 100 percent completely in the wrong.” No, Rep. Zeldin, let us be perfectly clear that there is no moral equivalence between marchers

waving swastikas, Nazi flags and chanting anti-Semitic slogans — and those who came to protest this hatred. The counter-protesters were there to defend American values against the Unite the Right rally’s message of hate. Mr. Trump is being broadly condemned by both Republicans and Democrats for blaming the violence “on both sides.” You need to retract your assertion of “multiple sides” and join your brave colleagues in holding the president accountable for preaching hate from the White House. It is not good enough for you to speak out against white su-

premacists — you need to speak out against this president who enables and emboldens them with his hate-filled rhetoric and policies. It is time for you to join people in Congress and in the business and arts world who have spoken out against Mr. Trump’s bigotry. You need to demand that he fires the rest of his alt-right advisers in the White House. You need to join the brave people in Congress who have called for censure of Mr. Trump. Anything less is just empty words.

Terry S. Shapiro East Setauket

Zeldin’s letter reinforces Trump’s lie Reporting in the face of hate Over the last week, the public has been introduced to Christopher Cantwell, the white supremacist and alt-right radio host who grew up in Stony Brook. Cantwell was featured in the Vice News piece that was aired on HBO Aug. 14 due to the work and bravery of Vice’s Elle Reeve. She managed to make a connection with Cantwell that not only enabled her to report from the front lines of the protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, but also capture footage that is so terrifying it seems unreal. It could be argued that the full scope of Charlottesville and the ramifications of what took place would be impossible to realize without what Reeve did. But it is real, and it is happening in our country. It can be said that hate mongering through the internet and social media is fanning the flames. Reeve was on the scene when protesters marched with lighted torches screaming, “Blood and soil” and “Whose streets? Our streets” and Cantwell saying, “We’re not nonviolent, we’ll f****** kill people if we have to,” this did not stop her from jumping into a van with participants to keep the interviews going while cameras were still rolling. Her camera crew was also on the scene when a car plowed into a crowd of protesters, killing a 32-year-old woman, Heather Heyer, and captured the reactions of terror from witnesses immediately after. Reeve went so far as to follow Cantwell back to his hotel room to continue the interview, as he unloaded several guns and a knife strapped to his waist and legs onto a bed while justifying the death of Heyer. This footage and her interviews are important. It’s one thing to read statistics about how many neo-Nazis, white supremacists and KKK clans exist in our country and even our neighborhoods, but it’s another to see them march through the streets with torches in their hands, chanting slogans and spewing ideologies that were presumably killed decades ago. The Vice News reporter, with videographer Orlando de Guzman, put themselves in harm’s way to get out a very important message: That a resounding hate exists in many of the people that surround us. The message from Charlottesville needed to not only be heard, but seen, and without their work and their efforts it may not have been possible. There are many talented reporters, but Reeve and her crew went above and beyond the call of duty. Her beat finds her on a regular basis in the center of animosity and puts her in potentially dangerous situations, and this doesn’t stop her from reporting; this is what led her to earning the trust of Cantwell. This is the type of reporting that makes Americans think and understand what is really going on beyond the borders of our towns or state, and opening our eyes to some of what has originated here. This is not fake news; this is the role of media in a democracy. As reporters we tip our hats to Reeve for her bravery and composure.

Rep. Lee Zeldin was among the first to support Donald Trump’s candidacy for president, and he has continued his total support ever since. His letter in The Village Times Herald Aug. 17 seems to say all the right things about the Nazi-KKK-white “nationalist” (i.e., racist) riot in Charlottesville, until you read closely and realize that it is meant to frame a single phrase, “the violence came from multiple groups and multiple sides,” later repeated as “protesters on either side with extremist views and violent purposes.” His letter is thus meant to reinforce President Trump’s lie that there is moral equivalence between “good people on both sides” and his lie that left-wing

extremists (“antifa”) charged right-wingers with clubs. The only “evidence” for the last seems to be a photograph originally from a Greek demonstration in 2009, gone viral in the right-wing blogosphere, sometimes with the antifa logo digitally imposed on the back of a protester. Let us be clear: All the rightwingers in Charlottesville came in response to the racist call from neo-Nazis, the KKK and white “nationalists,” not to defend a statue; there were no “good people” on that side. They came armed with semiautomatic rifles, helmets, shields, swastikas and burning torches — later seen being used as weapons — bent on provocation and violence. They attacked the counter-dem-

onstrators, some of whom could defend themselves with fists and placards as shields. And of course one neo-Nazi barreled his car into the crowd, killing Heather Heyer and injuring many. A lot of rioters approved his act; one neoNazi had the gall to claim it was self-defense. The ultra-racists, KKK’s David Duke and Richard Spencer among others, praised President Trump, essentially for going as far as he could to defend the Nazi, racist rioters; Trump didn’t use a dog whistle this time, it was a loudspeaker. Many Republicans rejected Trump’s remarks. Mr. Zeldin, you should be ashamed.

Arnold Wishnia Setauket

What’s next if we tear down statues? If we begin tearing down statues and monuments of prominent historical figures because something about them offends someone’s sensitivities, indeed, where will it end? What’s next? George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had slaves. Shall we tear down the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial? How about changing the name of the city and state of Washington, and hundreds of other towns and schools that bear the name of Washington, Jefferson and Robert E. Lee? Lee was revered by many and respected by virtually everyone in the North and the South before, during and after the American

Civil War. He was no fan of slavery. On Dec. 27, 1856 he wrote to his wife, “[S]lavery as an institution is a moral and a political evil in any country.” Nevertheless, when Abraham Lincoln asked him to command the Union Army, Lee declined, saying, “With all my devotion to the Union, and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home.” After the war, when he was indicted for treason, Lee calmly responded, “I have fought against the people of the North because I believed they were

seeking to wrest from the South its dearest rights. But I have never cherished toward them bitter or vindictive feelings, and I have never seen the day when I did not pray for them.” Abraham Lincoln in his second inaugural address shortly after the war and before his assassination spoke “with malice toward none, with charity for all.” We walk in the steps of ISIS when we feel compelled to destroy every remnant of a civilization, religion, tradition or person with which we don’t totally identify with. Is this America?

OpiniOn Turning the phrase ‘while here’ into a mantra

ver walk into a room and wonder why you’re there? As I say to my wife when she looks up expectantly if I appear and then stop in my tracks, I get distracted by air. We are flooded by stimuli from the bird soaring overhead, to the vibrating cellphone alerting us to an incoming message, to the lists that run in our heads. We have numerous opportunities to lose track of the principle task we assigned ourBy Daniel Dunaief selves. I’ve decided on a mantra to deal with these moments and others through the day: “While I’m here.” Yes, I know that’s not exactly a new turn of phrase and I know it’s a type of mindfulness,

D. None of the above

but my suggestion is about hearing and responding to the phrase. For example, I might walk into a drugstore to buy shampoo and conditioner. I might realize, before I head to the checkout line, that “while I’m here,” I might also get some dental floss. After all, it’s not like dental floss spoils and, if you’ve seen the movie “Prelude to a Kiss,” you know the old man, once he returns to his own body, advises the young couple at the beginning of their marriage to floss. After several painful episodes with gums that had previously been a breeding ground for painful bacteria, I can attest to the value of that advice. If you’re a suburban parent and you’re sitting at another baseball game, at a concert or at a dance recital, let’s imagine you’re waiting for the action to begin. “While you’re here” you might want to talk to the parent sitting near you and ask about his or her life or job.

“Hey, wait,” you say. “You’re in the same industry as I am? I had no idea. Of course, I’d love to write an elaborate freelance article that you’ll feature on the cover of your glossy magazine and that will lead to a long and fruitful business collaboration.” That might not happen, but it certainly won’t if you dive deep into your cellphone to tell someone in another state that you’re not sure whether you’re going to eat the leftover salad from lunch or order chicken with broccoli from the Chinese restaurant down the street. Maybe you’re at a job interview and you’ve hit all the talking points. You said your only serious flaw is that you take work so seriously that you won’t rest until you’ve secured whatever victories the company needs to beat its closest rivals. “While you’re here,” however, you might also want to make sure you ask enough questions about the interviewers, so you know their ca-

reer paths and so you have a better idea of the people with whom you’ll interact if they offer you the job. Not all the “while you’re here” moments have to be of immediate benefit to you. You might, for example, be on a beach on one of the final days of summer and a strong wind might blow someone’s hat toward you. “While you’re here” you might want to help that person retrieve it. Or maybe you see a plastic wrapper heading into the water. “While you’re here” you also might want to grab this offensive litter and bring it to a garbage can so that it doesn’t damage a fish or a turtle. If we consider a few times a day what we can do “while we’re here,” we might not only become more efficient, but we also might make that unexpected trip into the room worthwhile. The moment when we’re trying to recall what drove us into the room can transform into an opportunity ... “while we’re here.”

Peeking behind the curtain of the universe

he eclipse has come and gone, and for me it lived up to its advanced billing. It was awesome. I can’t say I was prepared to be awed. In fact, since most “great” shows tend to be overhyped, especially with all the different platforms we now communicate on, from radio and TV to blogs, websites, mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter and the rest, they are over previewed and inevitably a letdown. Not so last Monday’s eclipse. I happened to be taking a day, By Leah S. Dunaief vacation and my family was visiting, so there were a number of us getting ready for the event. We weren’t particularly excited about what was predicted to happen. I think curious was a better description. None of us

had secured the appropriate glasses in advance but fortunately a good friend put a pair in my hands at the last minute, and that made all the difference. Without the glasses, we were told not to look at the sun for fear of damaging our retinas. The day dawned pleasantly enough, with blue sky and bright sun but, as the morning wore on, the light breeze that started the day disappeared altogether. We noted that fact because we have a little Hobie Cat that we use to get out on the water, and there wasn’t even enough wind to move that slender craft. As we sat around the patio, there was an air of expectancy around noon, although maybe I was just projecting. We heard no birdsong, saw no squirrels and thought the yard unusually quiet. By then the bright sun had yielded to what seemed like overhanging clouds, but there weren’t low clouds in the sky. By 1:30 p.m., there was perceptibly less light. By 2:30, one by one we looked up at the sun through the protective glasses, and each of us emitted

an involuntary noise. The moon, essentially a black disc, was moving west to east across the lower three-quarters of the sun. We could see it clearly, with no clouds in the way. The feeling was of watching something happening that was profoundly greater than any human activity. In fact, I had a similar sensation when I stood at the top of a mountain in Alaska and looked out over the hundreds of miles of landscape with not a human or a human structure in sight. I felt the utter insignificance of humans in the cosmos. Just as predicted for the New York region, around 2:40 we saw the maximum area of sun occluded by the moon, and just around that time there was a fierce gust of wind that came from nowhere and shook the surrounding trees, with their lush summer leaves, into a frenzy. It was almost spooky. After a few minutes, the wind diminished and turned into a summer breeze. We sat in a circle, passing the cardboard glasses from hand to hand, and continued to marvel

at the sight of the moon blocking most of the sun. But the surface of the moon did not seem uniformly dense, rather appearing to let patches of light through parts of the disc — or so it appeared to me. Then, as the minutes ticked by and the moon moved off, it was almost with regret that we saw it leave. For those all-too-brief moments, we had witnessed what only the gods can see: the movement of the inner parts of the universe as some sort of well-regulated Swiss watch. It was a stately dance of the planets, predictable for its steps but thrilling on its cosmic scale. Then it was over and, as one, we rose to take advantage of the newfound breeze and get in some late afternoon sailing. But somehow we weren’t quite the same. Yes, we know the basics: That the Earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around the Earth, a kind of merry-go-round within a merry-go-round. But to witness a tiny part of that movement, for even the shortest time, can only be described as leaving us in awe.
