Peter Gustafson, the longest-serving member of the Stony Brook Fire Department (64 years), enjoys the rededication of Stony Brook Village with Fire Commissioner and guest speaker Walter Hazlitt, who attended the original dedication on July 3, 1941.

Stony Brook Village rededicated at 75

By DoNNa NeWmaN On July 10, the Ward Melville Heritage Organization celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Stony Brook Village Center with a day of festivities, music, antique cars, and special remembrances.

A gathering on the village green brought together the trust-

ees of the WMHO, community members, and representatives of government from the state, the county, and the town.

Curious passersby also stopped to listen as each of the speakers gave his or her own perspective on the little New England village that Ward Melville first dedicated in the summer of 1941.

The first to address the assemblage was Walter Hazlitt, a longtime resident of Stony Brook who was present at the first dedication ceremony. He was a teenager then and remembers all the hoopla and watching the parade.

The WMHO has film from that dedication. It is on view as part of a special summer exhibit, “It takes

a team to build a village,” at the Educational & Cultural Center.

“The project that was started

by Ward Melville was the [impetus] that made Stony Brook what it is today,” said Hazlitt. “The story [of this new center] was in several New York newspapers,” he added, remembering the tourists who

Soon hundreds of international students will be arriving at Stony Brook University to begin their academic careers in search of advanced degrees. For most, it will be their first time in the United States.

They have no family or friends here, and are in a completely foreign and unfamiliar environment.

The Host Family Program, a community-based organization now in its fourth decade, provides a newly arrived international student with the friendship of a local American family. Run by volunteers with the cooperation of the university, it has been directed by Rhona Goldman since 1974. It is not a home-stay program; students live on or near campus. Host families invite students to share a meal, some sightseeing, or a favorite activity.

Both students and host families have the enriching experience of a cultural exchange and gain perspective about the world. A host family may be a retired couple, a family group, or a single individual.

The only prerequisite is the desire to make an international student feel comfortable.

Students will arrive on campus in late August for the start of the fall semester and are looking forward to meeting an American family. The university will host a reception for the students and the host families to meet each other before the semester begins.

There is always a shortage of local volunteers to host all the students who apply.

To learn more about hosting, email Rhona Goldman at: hostfamilies@stonybrook.edu.

Veterans to receive vital info at Emma Clark library

By Rita J. Egan A North Shore library is working handin-hand with its veterans to help them gain access to their necessary benefits.

The Emma S. Clark Memorial Library in Setauket invites veterans across the community to attend an outreach program hosted by the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center at the library, which is scheduled for Thursday, July 14. Nancy McCaffrey, adult programs librarian at Emma Clark, said she sees many veterans visiting the library on a regular basis wearing their various armed forces hats and shirts.

With the library’s help, she said she hoped those veterans could discover the various benefits available to them at the library’s outreach event.

She said the goal of the program — the first of its kind held at Emma Clark Library — would help to disseminate information to the veterans as well as help update their statuses.

“There are a lot of good programs out there for them that they may not be aware of,” McCaffrey said.

Every year, Wendy Robertson, community relations coordinator with the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center, reaches out to as many locations as possible on Long Island. She said the venues include American Legion halls, fire departments and public libraries on the island.

The coordinator said the organization averages around 70 to 80 outreach programs a year in Suffolk and Nassau counties.

Robertson said libraries are a great location for such a program because while some veterans may not belong to a local post of The American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars, many tend to frequent libraries.

The coordinator said it’s important for veterans to regularly update their information with the Department of Veterans Affairs as well as educate themselves about new programs available to them. She said many have received information a long time ago, and a lot of it has changed.

“The outreach program is to offer information, and update veterans on what their benefits are, and what their entitlements are with the VA,” she said. “What we do is assist the veterans with enrollment, in getting health care through the VA system, we update their information, and we also sit with them one-on-one at the events to discuss their personal benefits.”

Robertson said that veterans’ needs change as they grow older, and the VA can assist them with things such as hearing aids or health attendants. The program will also allow veterans to learn about new health care options as well as find out about six locations on Long Island now offering VA care.

The coordinator said attendance to the events varies depending on the time of year and location. She said anywhere from a few hundred to a handful of veterans can attend.

“A lot of the veterans feel that they are taking away from somebody else, and that’s really the opposite, so that’s what our mission is to give them what they are

Throne-Holst defeats Calone to win nomination

By Alex Petroski After more than a week of waiting, it is now known which Democrat will square off against freshman U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) in the race for the 1st Congressional District seat this November.

Former Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst defeated Setauket native David Calone after nearly 1,800 absentee ballots were counted last week. After the June 28 Democratic primary, the candidates were separated by just 29 votes.

After the absentee ballots were tallied, Throne-Holst was left standing. She defeated Calone 6,479 to 6,162.

“I am deeply grateful to all who placed their trust and support in me, and I am truly humbled by the privilege it has been to get to know, share the concerns, and my message with so many,” ThroneHolst said in a statement through a public relations representative Friday. The Suffolk County Board of Elections confirmed ThroneHolst’s victory but couldn’t give an exact vote count on the absentee ballots as of Friday afternoon.

Throne-Holst wasted little time turning her attention to Zeldin Friday.

“Lee Zeldin has shown in every way how out of step and wrong he is, not only for Long Island, but for the country,” she said.

Zeldin’s campaign made a statement after the results of the Democratic primary were known Friday.

“Despite the shameful narrative that the Democrats have been desperately attempting to deceive voters into playing along with, First Congressional District voters are smart enough to sort fact from fiction and reject all of the false, negative and partisan attacks on our Congressman being spun up by the Democrats,” they said. “He looks forward to continuing his work for Long Island and our nation in his second term.”

Throne-Holst commended Calone for his efforts during the campaign.

“I want to congratulate Dave Calone on a spirited race, and I share in the respect and support he garnered in the district, as demonstrated by the very close margin and the strength of his candidacy,” she said.

Though he was disappointed by the narrow margin of defeat, Calone quickly supported his party’s candidate in a statement from his campaign Saturday.

“We were outspent by near-

We cannot continue being represented by Congressman Lee Zeldin, one of Donald Trump’s loudest advocates in Washington. ... I urge people across eastern Long Island to join

me in supporting our Democratic nominee, Anna Throne-Holst, to replace him this November.”

Representatives from both parties commented on the primary and November’s general election.

“Long Islanders are ready for a change,” Democratic Congressional Committee Chairman Ben Ray Luján said in a statement. “I congratulate Anna Throne-Holst on her hard-fought win, and

know she has the background and wide-ranging experience to bring desperately needed leadership to this district.”

At least one Zeldin supporter was encouraged by the tight race in the primary.

“That was a very expensive and underwhelming Democratic Primary for Anna Throne-Holst, with such a poor voter turnout showing an incredible lack of enthusiasm for her,” Brookhaven GOP Chairman Jesse Garcia said in a statement. “The choice is clear; Lee Zeldin understands what is right for New York’s First Congressional District, and knows how to fight and produce results for our values and our families. We look forward to Brookhaven’s own Congressman Lee Zeldin serving another term next January.”

Children play in the prekindergarten playground at nassakeag elementary School.

Three Village expands prekindergarten classes Three-year-olds welcome and prices are reduced After a heartfelt send-off of its high school graduates, Three Village school district prepares to welcome its newest and youngest students to prekindergarten at Nassakeag Elementary School.

SCOPE at Three Village Prekindergarten will expand to welcome three-year-olds this fall and make some tweaks to the district’s fledgling program.

Kristin Rimmer, formerly Nassakeag’s assistant principal and now preschool liaison for the tuition-based program, told the school board that parents and children have responded positively to the program for four-years-olds.

She said parents surveyed said they would recommend the program or send their younger children.

The collaboration between Three Village and SCOPE Education Services offers a “play-based” curriculum that “supports students’ cognitive, social and emotional learning” and helps prepare them for kindergarten in the district, Rimmer said.

Each class is led by a state-certified teacher and assistant, and incorporates New York State’s Prekindergarten Foundation for the Common Core.

Students are introduced to “Fundations” — the phonics programs used in Three Village — guided reading, and foundational math and technology skills, Rimmer said.

SCOPE Education Services, which runs

both universal (free) and fee-based prekindergartens across the island, staffs and runs the day-to-day operation.

A majority of the 32 students enrolled in the first year attended the half-day classes. The price of a full-day — $1,100 a month — was a deterrent for families, Rimmer said.

So, in the coming year, there will only be half-day classes. Eliminating the fullday option will lower tuition because the program will no longer have to cover the pricey full-day certification fee that is paid to the state Office of Children and Family Services.

The cost for a four-year-old to attend five days for 2.5 hours a day will be reduced to $300 instead of $400 a month.

The new three-year-old program, offered for the first time in September, will meet three days a week for 2.5 hours. It will cost $215 a month.

The three-year-old program, Rimmer said, will be similar to the four-year-old program in its approach and will prepare students for the four-year-old class.

Rimmer said another area that will see improvements is pickup and drop off, which some parents felt was a missed opportunity for parents to connect with teachers.

Rimmer commented, “I am optimistic that the changes we are proposing will make prekindergarten more accessible to all, while continuing to reach the level of programmatic success we achieved this year,” she said.

PersPectives Reggie Seltzer: the woman behind this beautiful parkland Your turn BY herB mones This afternoon, I’m going to go for a walk at West Meadow Beach park.

I know there will be many, many others enjoying this unique, idyllic nature preserve such as walkers, joggers, bicyclists, rollerbladers and birdwatchers.

Visitors to West Meadow have wondrous views of both the creek and Long Island Sound, and can enjoy a Fire Islandlike experience, essentially, in their own backyard. The more-than-mile-long peninsula is a treasure trove of natural wonders: ospreys, turtles, horseshoe crabs and even piping plover.

With this in mind, I read with sadness about the recent passing of Regina “Reggie” Seltzer (“Former Councilwoman Regina Seltzer dies,” July 7).

What many of your readers might not know is that Reggie played a pivotal role in the restoration of the West Meadow peninsula that we now all enjoy.

As a Brookhaven Town councilwoman in the 1970s, it was Reggie’s foresight to pass town authorization establishing the West Meadow peninsula as dedicated parkland. At the time, there were more

In subsequent years, as an attorney specializing in environmental law, she was both fierce and tireless in her support to local activists seeking to secure West Meadow Beach as a park to be enjoyed by all town residents, not just for a few.

Undoubtedly, without her many years of unselfish, brilliant and pro bono legal representation, the peninsula would still be

in the hands of private interests, and West Meadow would not be the recreational treasure it is today.

Not too long ago, I had an opportunity to “catch up” with Reggie during a Brookhaven Town Hall meeting. She was in her mid-80s, and still active in representing local residents seeking support from the town board.

In the course of our conversation — and to my surprise since she lived on the Great

South Bay — Reggie said she visited West Meadow Beach Park every week.

And while I knew her legal career was marked by tremendous victories for numerous environmental groups and causes, she confided to me that she considered her efforts at West Meadow to be her most important and enduring work.

As I walk at West Meadow today, I’ll think about Reggie, and say to myself: “I couldn’t agree more.”

New beach mats make navigating easier BY reBeCCa anzel Brookhaven is laying the groundwork to make its beaches more accessible to residents.

Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) announced new sand surfacing mats, called Mobi-Mats, at Cedar Beach West in Mount Sinai and West Meadow Beach in Stony Brook.

“The mats open up opportunities that didn’t exist before for people that, whatever the reason, the sand was not easy to navigate,” Bonner said. “So often times they wouldn’t go to the beach.”

The nonslip, semirigid roll-up beach access mats, completely made from recycled polyester roll by New Jersey company Deschamps Mats Systems, enable residents who are elderly or using wheelchairs, crutches, strollers or other mobility devices to more easily traverse sandy beaches. They are low maintenance — the tear-resistant, permeable structure allows sand to filter through — and are easily maintained by removing any excess sand buildup with a broom or leaf blower. Mobi-Mats have already been used at beaches in Nassau County, including Jones Beach, and by the Marine Corps for the past 20 years in vehicular beach landing operations.

Accomplishing this project was easy, Bonner said. She saw a picture of the Mobi-Mats online over the winter and showed it to Parks Commissioner Ed Morris, who

across the sand.

“Multiple people have asked Alex for a beach playdate now, where they otherwise maybe wouldn’t have,” his mother said. “I can’t think of a more accepting community.”

Alex, who is going into fifth grade, is a local advocate for greater mobility, not just for wheelchairs but for everyone. He influenced improvements to the playgrounds and restrooms at his school to make them more handicap-accessible.

“The feedback for this project has been some of the most positive feedback I’ve ever received since I’ve been in office,” Bonner said.

Cedar Beach West and West Meadow Beach are just the first of Brookhaven’s beaches to get the mats. According to a town spokesman, Brookhaven purchased three blue models for $19,999 — the location for the last has not yet been determined — and there are plans to expand the program.

“They will be placed, at some point, at all our beaches to allow people with disabilities or physical limitations to also enPhoto from Town of Brookhaven joy the beach — one of the great pastimes at back, deputy parks commissioner, rob maag, Councilwoman Jane Bonner, aisha on Long Island,” Romaine said. “We think Grundmann and supervisor ed romaine; at front, wheelchair program supervisor, this has a large impact on people’s lives.”

North Shore standout gets drafted to NBA

By Clayton Collier The NBA was a dream worth the wait for Cheick Diallo; even if it meant waiting a little longer than anticipated.

Diallo, at 6 feet, 9 inches, 220 pounds, widely expected to be a late first-round pick, was selected 33rd overall by the Los Angeles Clippers. The 19-year-old forward’s draft rights were acquired by the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for the 39th and 40th overall picks. A 2-for-1 is a hefty price to pay in any exchange, but Pelicans general manager Dell Demps knew they had to get Diallo.

“You talk to people and say, ‘Is he a good kid?’” Demps said. “And they say, ‘No, No. He’s a great kid. He’s a phenomenal kid.’

In our interview process with him, when he walked out of the room, everybody just thought, wow. We all said, ‘Did you hear that? Did you listen to this guy? You want to root for him.’”

Demps said that first phone call with Diallo was one to remember.

“I was surprised Cheick didn’t go in the “We talked to him on the phone, and he first round based on preliminary reports I was so fired up and we were so fired up,” got,” Kansas head coach Bill Self said in a he said. “We were sitting there screaming release. “The big thing is he was able to go and yelling on the phone.”

Diallo’s former college rival, Buddy Hield, also went to the Pelicans with the sixth overall pick. The reigning John R. Wooden Award winner now joins a rotation that will include Diallo and All-Star big man Anthony Davis.

“That mix of speed and athleticism and power is a great combination,” Stelzer said.

“It’s the kind of situation where [Cheick] could make an immediate impact.”

Stelzer said his assistant coaches and Diallo’s host family were essential in getting Diallo from high school onto the next stage.

“We’ve been blessed, and we have a lot of people who have contributed in a team effort to make it possible,” he said. “I wish him the best. It was a pleasure to coach him; he’s a fine young man.”

village Continued from page A1 began to come here. He opined that Melville started something grand, and Governor Nelson Rockefeller continued Stony Brook’s growth by establishing — with Melville’s help — a state university that is “unparalleled.”

Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) spoke of her idyllic childhood in Stony Brook.

“Small things have changed; so much has stayed the same,” she said. “It is the same extraordinarily beautiful view. You turn around and you look out over Hercules, you look around at the green space we have in our community — where we come together at special moments — this is the most magical, special place.”

State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) also gave his take on the village.

“Historically — and I love the fact that we have these antique vehicles here — this is the first mall in America,” he said. “That’s quite remarkable. Ward Melville and his designer Richard Haviland Smythe envisioned a coming of age of the automobile, and they designed accordingly. This is the first shopping mall designed for the automobile specifically, and for that reason, if for no other, this is a part of our national heritage.”

Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) and Supervisor Edward Romaine (R) represented Brookhaven Town.

Cartright spoke of reading that the Melville family came across the site by accident.

“Being a woman of God,” she said, “I don’t believe in accidents ... I truly believe they were divinely guided here.”

Romaine spoke of Ward Melville’s boldness, calling him “a visionary.”

TBR

“He convinced store owners that this wasn’t going to drive them out of business, that this was the way to go,” he said. “And the results endure to this day, 75 years after [the village] was dedicated. Its lesson is what good planning — what having a decent vision for the future of a community — is all about.”

Letters to the editor After ‘terrible crime’ in Dallas, the Rev. Allen seeks to clarify

Photo from Sylvia Kirk

A Black Lives Matter banner is dedicated locally on July Fourth weekend.

Relationships are two-way streets It certainly has not been a quiet two weeks in America.

A shooting in Dallas, Texas, resulted in the death of five police officers, and the killings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, La., and Philando Castile in St. Paul, Minn., have sparked a national conversation, with many people on social media finding themselves in between #BlackLivesMatter, #BlueLivesMatter and #AllLivesMatter.

Supporting #BlackLivesMatter doesn’t make someone anti-police, and responding to #BlackLivesMatter with #AllLivesMatter does nothing to address the reasons the movement started in the first place. The same goes for killing police officers.

Yet every time a new video surfaces showing a young black male being detained, and in some cases killed by police, or another story of an attack on a uniformed officer comes to light, finger-pointing and politically motivated, unproductive talk ensues for as long as the given news cycle will allow.

There is one important question that needs to be answered and given substantial thought by every person in the United States, so that we can decide what kind of a country we want to be. It is also important to note that asking questions of your government or law enforcement does not mean you are against them.

But why do we see interactions between AfricanAmericans and police officers frequently start at a place of such heightened tension? How is it that we continue to see citizens of our country killed by the people entrusted with protecting them, and how do we fix it?

Just like any relationship, this one is a two-way street that needs reflection and cooperation from both sides to provide any hope of one day fixing it. We believe it would serve America well to look past the conversation of #AllLivesMatter. This phrase would not have started without #BlackLivesMatter, which came to the forefront because of violent incidents in this country. We need to look at why these events took place, if we want to try to fix what many citizens now think is a national problem.

Just last Sunday, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Stony Brook mounted a “Black Lives Matter” banner on our Nicolls Road sign. It’s a fundamental part of the history of our faith that we oppose injustice where we see it, in collaboration with those who are suffering.

We support the efforts of the Black Lives Matter movement to claim for black Americans equal justice under the law.

The targeting of police officers in Dallas is a terrible crime that demands justice for the officers and their families. It is the wrong answer to an ongoing crisis brought into sharp relief by the shooting deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling.

In saying “Black Lives Matter,” we aren’t claiming that other lives don’t. We are as deeply distressed as anyone when police officers are murdered in the line of duty. Most

officers do their best every day to “serve and protect” all of us, regardless of race. It’s also true that in the entire history of this nation, black lives have not mattered as much as white ones.

Today, young black men are incarcerated at much higher rates than young white men convicted of the same crime. Black men and women are more likely to die in the street when being confronted or pursued. Black children receive inferior education. Housing and job discrimination against people of color is still the rule.

This pattern has been a fact of American life for hundreds of years. As a largely white congregation, we own that history and acknowledge our complicity in the oppression of people of color.

We are committed to working to right the wrongs.

We deplore the terrible act of violence in Dallas, which appears

to have been perpetrated by a lone person unconnected to the Black Lives Matter movement.

It would be an additional tragedy if these murders make it even harder for all of us to listen to the voices of the black community, to hear their true stories, and to work at their side, under their leadership, to replace racist structures and processes with ones that value black and brown lives as much as white ones.

In a nation committed to “liberty and justice for all,” all lives matter.

When all lives matter, black lives must matter too. We, the members of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Stony Brook, are determined to help make that vision real.

The Rev. Margie Allen Stony Brook

Primary election became big money race In the primary election between David Calone and Anna Throne-Holst, over $3 million was spent for a turnout of 12, 641 votes, leading to the staggering figure of over $300 per vote.

What was accomplished by this enormous expenditure?

The election was a contest of big money and outside endorsements for Throne-Holst, versus grass roots organizing and local endorsements for Calone. Throne-Holst outspent Calone by nearly $1 million to achieve a margin of 317 votes.

There were no issues different between the two campaigns. Instead, the election was fought out over biography and endorsements.

Throne-Holst ran as a woman candidate who changed her registration only in November 2015 to run for Congress as a Democrat, and was endorsed by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from upstate New York, and Congressman Steve Israel from Huntington. Calone ran as a lifelong Democrat, who had strong support from the Democratic committees in Brookhaven and East Hampton and was endorsed by almost every elected Democrat in the Congressional district.

Calone ran strong in the 4th Assembly district and in East Hampton, which elect Democrats into public office. Throne-Holst ran

strong in Smithtown, Riverhead, Southold and Shelter Island, where very few Democrats are elected to public office.

On Election Day, these two contrasting campaigns were separated by only 29 votes, which is well within the statistical margin of error of 100 votes, for the 10,863 votes cast.

However, of the 1,778 absentee ballots, Calone got only 42 percent of the vote. Since by definition the absentee ballots can be cast many weeks before the actual date of the election, the conclusion could be that early voters favored ThroneHolst. This correlates with the fact that because of her financial advan-

tage, Throne-Holst was able to begin advertising several weeks before Calone was able to do so.

The theory behind the ThroneHolst candidacy is that a Democratic woman who has very little background of Democratic partisan activity can attract sufficient Republican women voters to defeat the incumbent Republican. This theory that gender solidarity of Republican women will overcome partisan loyalty has been much discussed in the last 10 years. The race between Throne-Holst and Rep. Lee Zeldin will put it to the test.

opinion Are summer or winter birthdays best?

M

y brothers are getting ready to celebrate their birthdays, which are two days apart. OK, so, several years and two days apart, so, no, they aren’t twins who kept my mother in labor for more than 48 hours.

At times I thought perhaps I, the middle child, should have been born on the day in between them.

That way, my parents would have gotten all the birthday parties for the year done in one

By Daniel Dunaief week.

Then again, it would have been hard for any of us to own more than 24 hours if we were all making plans for something special in the same narrow window of time.

As a longtime baseball devotee

D. None of the above

and recreational player, I always imagined the best thing I could do on my birthday would be to attend a Yankees game.

Over time, the focus on my birthday has changed. Yes, I enjoy my wife’s chocolate chip cookies, which she bakes as often as I like and, yes, I enjoy the calls and the cards.

However, I don’t anticipate the day the same way I did when I was my children’s age, as they count down the days, hours and minutes until their annual celebration.

My son, who also loves baseball — hmm, I wonder how that happened? — has often talked about going to a game on his birthday, which is, conveniently, during the summer.

The biggest challenge to making that happen is that he plays baseball so often that his games often conflict with Yankee games. In fact, during some weeks in the summer, he plays more games than Alex Rodriguez.

OK, well, maybe that’s a bad example because poor A-Rod, who is a shell of his former self, hasn’t gotten much playing time these days.

Back to birthdays, though, if I could choose between a summer and winter birthday, I’m not sure which way I’d go. Let’s lay out the advantages of a winter birthday: For starters, I might get one of those natural gifts, when a snow day would eliminate all the hustle and bustle as the world stops and is covered with a white blanket. Nice as that sounds, that never happened.

My school friends were around on my birthday. During the summer, some of my son’s friends go to camp, where they might send him a snapchat or a text message around his birthday, but they can’t hang out, eat cake and swim in a pool.

I could also go skiing on my birthday. I love racing fast enough down a mountain that my eyes water from speeding down a trail. And, after an incredible day at Killington or Mount Snow, both in Vermont, I could relax in a lodge, in front of a fireplace, with my tired feet and exhausted knees propped up on the hearth.

I also enjoyed going to the

beaches during the winter, when the crowds were gone and I felt as if I owned the windswept landscape, from one end of West Meadow Beach to the other.

OK, how about the disadvantages? Tests were at the top of that list. When I was in school, a test on my birthday wasn’t as much of a wet blanket as a test the day after my birthday, when studying superseded any birthday celebration.

The movies around the middle of the winter never seemed as much fun to attend as the ones during the summer, perhaps because of the pressure to prepare for school.

Still, while the grass may be greener, literally, for summer birthdays and the baseball season may be in full swing, the winter birthdays give those of us looking for festivities during the colder, darker months something to celebrate.

Ideally, we can enjoy these festivities all-year round, as we celebrate with our friends and family, particularly during frenetic birthday weeks.

The remarkably artistic Queen Christina of Sweden

Q

ueen Elizabeth I and subsequently Catherine the Great have captured the attention and the imaginations of people over the centuries, but there was another such extraordinary woman whom I had never heard of until last Saturday night. She was Queen Christina of Sweden, born in 1626, and she was the monarch technically from the time she was 6 until she abdicated her throne in 1654.

By Leah S. Dunaief Her father was King Gustav II Adolph, and he died on the battlefield at the Battle of Lützen during the Thirty Years’ War. Close to his daughter, his only legitimate child, as she was to him, he decreed that in the event of his death, she was to be educated as a prince — to receive

a boy’s tutoring and instruction.

Except for a brief, three-year period when she was raised by her father’s half-sister, Catherine, who then died, Christina was always in the company of men and was effectively overseen by the governing regency council and the chancellor. She took to her books eagerly, and throughout her early years she energetically studied 10 hours a day. Her education ranged from religion, mathematics, Greek and Latin, philosophy and alchemy, and she eventually learned at least eight languages: German, Dutch, Danish, French, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew and her own Swedish. She was also deeply interested in the arts and filled her palace and her kingdom with books, manuscripts, sculptures and statues, while encouraging theater and ballet.

When her chancellor, Axel Oxenstierna, wanted to continue the war, she sued for peace. Christina was interested in bringing scholars and artists from throughout Europe and surrounded herself and her court with learned men.

In 1648, Christina commissioned 35

pieces of art. By 1649, 760 artworks, 170 marble and 100 bronze statues, 33,000 coins and medallions, 600 pieces of crystal, 300 scientific instruments, manuscripts and books were forthcoming. Christina was widely viewed throughout Europe as one of the most educated women of the 1600s, nicknamed “Minerva of the North.” She was also regarded as eccentric since she often dressed in the most comfortable clothing, including pants and men’s shoes.

Christina stunned the royals throughout Europe by announcing she would never marry, although constantly pressed to do so by her regency council to produce an heir, and that she would abdicate her throne in favor of her first cousin Charles, with whom she had been secretly betrothed when she was 16. Impressed by a biography she had read of Elizabeth I, known as “The Virgin Queen,” and taken with the idea of Roman Catholicism celibacy — although Christina was rumored not to have been celibate, rather the contrary — she sailed from Sweden for Rome.

The pope, who pronounced her a

“queen without a realm, a Christian without faith and a woman without shame,” welcomed her elaborately.

As the eventual guest of five consecutive popes, Christina is thought to have been a symbol of the CounterReformation since she converted from Lutheranism and became a Roman Catholic. For the most part, she lived in high style throughout the rest of her life, mainly in her beloved Rome, and she certainly influenced continental Europe profoundly with her taste and protectionism of the arts. She militantly advocated on behalf of personal freedom, of charities and, interestingly, of Jews in Rome who were sometimes taunted on the streets.

So how did I come to learn of her remarkable life? I am a fan of Saturday night classic movies hosted by Columbia University arts professor Richard Peña on Channel 13 at 9 p.m., and caught the showing of “Queen Christina” (1933) starring Greta Garbo. From what I have subsequent read, the story is surprisingly faithful to the broader outlines of Christina’s life. She died in 1689 and is buried in a Vatican grotto.
