Port Jeff crowns three county champs By Desirée Keegan

Falling off the radar Sex offenders start coming off state registry after 20 years

Page a3

For the fourth time in his varsity career, Matteo DeVincenzo has done it. The Port Jefferson wrestler is headed back to states after a 15-0 win at 2:45 over Lajess Sawyer of Center Moriches in the 126-pound final of the Suffolk High School Wrestling Division II championship Saturday night at Center Moriches High School — a win that earned him his fourth county champion title. Teammates Rick D’Elia and Joe Evangelista also took first at 99 and 120 pounds, respectively. Vin Miceli took second at 113 pounds, falling 3-2 to his Mattituck challenger Jack Bokina, and Dallas Brett was pinned by Babylon’s Bryan Larsen at 145 pounds to put him at second atop the podium. As a sophomore, DeVincenzo became the first Long Island wrestler ever to capture a D-II state title when he won at 106 pounds. As a junior, he finished third in the state tournament,

and this is his last year to try for another state title — at Albany, Feb. 26-27. After the disappointing end to his junior season, DeVincenzo is hoping to join Jamie St. John as the only Port Jefferson wrestler to win two state championships in any division. So far this season, DeVincenzo earned a first-place finish at the David Sorenson Memorial Invitational held Jan. 9 at Long Island Lutheran in Brookville, and a week later got a second firstplace crown at the Eastern States Classic, held at Sullivan County Community College in Loch Sheldrake. To earn that latter title, DeVincenzo defeated three other state champions from a field of 60 wrestlers, and was voted Champion of Champions by his peers. DeVincenzo’s winning season continued when he set a school record of 141 career wins during the Armstrong Cup, held in Port Jefferson on Jan. 30. The graduating senior, who will attend Princeton University

in the fall, is now a four-time Armstrong Cup champion, which according to head coach Mike Maletta has never been done before by any wrestler. He surpassed brother Tristin DeVincenzo’s record 137 wins in his first match during the cup competition. Also placing in the consolation finals at the county championship were Brendan Rodgers at 99 pounds, who

pinned his opponent at 2:59; the 106-pound Robert Williams, who outscored his opponent 6-3; Joe Longo at 132 pounds, who was pinned by his challenger; Alex Frohnen, who was defeated by his opponent 2-1, at 138 pounds; Jack Collins, who lost 7-1 at 160 pounds; and Ryan Walsh, who did not have a challenger at 195 pounds.

Sex offenders to start dropping off registry By Elana Glowatz

Suffolk County is entering obscure territory this year as some sex offenders drop off the state registry and others have lost restrictions on where they can live. It was one year ago that the New York State Court of Appeals ruled that local laws restricting where sex offenders could live were invalid, following a lawsuit from a registered offender from Nassau County who challenged his own government’s rule that prohibited him from living within 1,000 feet from a school. Judge Eugene Pigott Jr. wrote in his decision that “a local government’s police power is not absolute” and is pre-empted by state law. State regulations already prohibit certain sex offenders who are on parole or probation from living within 1,000 feet of a school or other child care facility, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, but the local laws went further. In Suffolk County, Chapter 745 made it illegal for all registered sex offenders — not just those on parole or probation — to live within a quarter mile of schools, day care centers, playgrounds or their victims. But following Pigott’s decision, that law, while still technically on

the books, is no longer enforceable. To make matters more complicated, Jan. 1 marked the beginning of the end for some of the lowest level sex offenders on the state registry. Offenders are grouped into one of three levels based on their perceived risk of committing another sex crime. On the lowest rung, Level 1 offenders who have not received special designations for being violent, being repeat offenders or having a “mental abnormality or personality disorder” that makes the person “likely to engage in predatory sexually violent offenses,” according to the Division of Criminal Justice Services, are only included on the registry for 20 years from their conviction. The New York State correction law enacting that system has just turned 20 years old, meaning the earliest offenders added to the registry are beginning to drop off. The Sex Offender Registration Act obligates Level 2 and Level 3 offenders, as well as those with the additional designations, to remain on the registry for life, although there is a provision under which certain Level 2 offenders can appeal to be removed after a period of 30 years. At a recent civic association meeting in

File photo

laura ahearn has advocated for local governments to have the power to regulate where registered sex offenders live.

Port Jefferson Station, Laura Ahearn from the advocacy group Parents for Megan’s Law — which raises awareness about sex crime issues and monitors offenders — gave examples of offenders set to come off the registry this year, including a man who raped a 4-year-old girl, and another who raped and sodomized a woman. But it doesn’t stop there. “It is thousands over time that are going to drop off,” Ahearn said.

A database search of Level 1 offenders along the North Shore of Suffolk County turned up many offenders who had been convicted of statutory rape or possession of child pornography, and who had served little to no time in jail. However, there were more serious offenses as well. Some of the undesignated Level 1 offenders who were convicted shortly after the Sex Offender Registration Act SEX OFFENDERS continued on page A15

Government considers to boost Brookhaven lab By Giselle Barkley

Budget season brought good news for the Brookhaven National Laboratory, which may receive $291.5 million from the government to help sustain and improve two of its facilities as part of U.S. President Barack Obama’s budget request for the 2017 fiscal year. The president requested $179.7 million of that money to go toward BNL’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider facility and the remainder to the National Synchrotron Light Source II facility. The proposed amount is $9.5 million more than what the lab received last year for the two facilities combined. According to Brookhaven Lab spokesperson Peter Genzer, the money won’t only help the Lab’s RHIC and NSLS-II facilities run, but also help fund new experimental stations at NSLS-II. The president’s financial inquiry includes $1.8 million for the Core Facility Revitalization project, which will provide the infrastructure and facilities to store data to support the lab’s growing needs, the press release said. U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) have worked to maintain America’s science presence — and securing more federal funds for the lab helps maintain it. Schumer said he was pleased with the

president’s request to increase funding for the lab, saying that an increase in funding will help keep BNL and our nation at the forefront of innovation and boost Long Island’s economy. “We appreciate the president’s contin-

ued support for science and, in particular, Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and National Synchrotron Light Source II,” BNL Director Doon Gibbs said. “We are also extremely grateful for the ongoing efforts of Sen. Schumer and

Sen. Gillibrand — and the entire N.Y. Congressional delegation — on behalf of the Lab and its research mission.” According to RHIC’s website, scientists study earth in its infancy and other areas that will help people better understand how the world works. The approximate 16-year-old ion collider is also the first machine in the world that can support colliding heavy ions. The NSLS-II allows scientists to examine high-energy light waves in a variety of spectrums, including x-ray, ultraviolet and infrared. The RHIC and NSLS-II are BNL’s two largest facilities Genzer said. He added that the “president’s budget request is the first step in the budget process for the fiscal year 2017.” The budget year begins on Oct. 1. In the best-case scenario, the government will agree on and vote to approve the final budget before the end of September. The senators will continue their fight to get increased funding for BNL as the lab “is a major economic engine for Long Island,” Gillibrand said. Gillibrand said she was also pleased with the administration’s request for increased funds. Construction of NSLS-II began in 2009 and cost around $912 million. BNL expected construction to end last year. Other members of BNL were unavailable for comment prior to publication.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

North Shore hero: Veteran keeps giving back By Rich AcRitelli

To say that Long Island native Butch Langhorn has lived a full life would be an understatement. As a veteran and a community man, he has both seen a lot and given a lot back to the county that raised him. From his youth, Langhorn was a gifted three-sport athlete, excelling in football, basketball and track for Riverhead High School. His impact was so great that he held the record for the triple jump for 10 years after his graduation. In 1964, the young man enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Totten in Bayside, Queens. While he worked in the personnel office, his sporting abilities allowed him the chance to play basketball within the Special Services of the Army. Langhorn competed as a 5-foot-8-inch guard against many who had experience playing semiprofessional and Division I hoops. The servicemen competing had the rare opportunity of representing their military bases in games that ranged from Maine to New Jersey. The next year, Langhorn was deployed

to South Vietnam, where he saw the earliest action of the war in Southeast Asia. In an interview, he noted the beauty of the nation and the influence of French culture on the former capital of Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City. For a couple of months, Langhorn was a gunner on a helicopter that flew into the major combat areas of South Vietnam, engaged against the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong. He was tasked with helping medical evacuation crews with the vital mission of returning wounded and dead U.S. soldiers to American bases. As a young African-American soldier during the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, Langhorn observed the treatment of blacks in South Vietnam. According to Langhorn, he had a relationship with a local woman of French descent who took him home to meet her family. When he met her mother, the woman told him to shower and take a nap before dinner. Again he came into her presence and she wrongly believed that he was a white soldier who had too much dirt on his skin. It was one example of a different racial experience for Langhorn — he quickly learned that most of the black soldiers who were fighting against the communists in South Vietnam were not understood by the very people they were trying to protect. After more than a year overseas, Langhorn went home to finish his Army tour. By 1971, he quickly re-enlisted as an active guardsmen reservist, serving full-time for the New York 106th Air National Guard base in Westhampton Beach. For many years, he was the head of the recruiting station that brought in many fine airmen, noncommissioned officers and officers. Langhorn had a prideful hand in signing military members from different backgrounds to enhance the Air Force wing. Many of the men and women he recruited have been deployed to the Middle East to fight the war on terror, conducted massive air-sea rescues in the Atlantic Ocean, endured the rigors of the elite pararescue jumper training and deployments, and tackled the older mission of aiding space shuttle landings. Langhorn later oversaw the personnel department that was responsible for sorting out the paperwork needs of the military unit. Langhorn may be retired after serving four decades in uniform, but he is still a dominant member of his community and has spent a lot of that time trying to help young people. He served on the Riverhead Central School District Board of Education for five years, working to keep athletics and other programs in the schools, and as a current assistant for the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office,

he organizes educational programs that bring high school criminal justice students to visit the county jail. In his role, he also helps guide nonprofit groups that are focused on rehabilitating inmates. In addition, former Congressmen Michael Forbes and Tim Bishop both recognized

Langhorn’s professionalism, and he served as an instrumental member of their staffs to handle veterans affairs. Since his youth, this North Shore citizen has given back to his society and to his nation. TBR Newspapers salutes him during Black History Month.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department of Financial Services at 1-800-342-3736 or visit the Department’s website at www.dfs.ny.gov. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for

profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. 622 2/11 4x ptr NOTICE OF ANNUAL ELECTION AND BUDGET VOTE OF THE COMSEWOGUE PUBLIC LIBRARY TOWN OF BROOKHAVEN, COUNTY OF SUFFOLK, NEW YORK NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Annual Election and Budget Vote of the qualified voters of the Comsewogue School District, Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York, will be held at the Comsewogue Public Library, 170 Terryville Road, Port Jefferson Station, New York, on April 5, 2016, between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. prevailing time, for the purpose of voting, by paper ballot, upon the following items: (1) Proposition to adopt the Annual Budget for the support and maintenance of the Comsewogue Public Library for the 2016-2017 fiscal year and to authorize the requisite portion thereof to be raised by taxation on the taxable property of the Brookhaven-Comsewogue Union Free School District; and (2) Election of one (1) Trustee to the Board of Trustees of the Comsewogue Public Library to fill a five-year term commencing July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2021, as a result of the expiration of the term of office presently held by Alexandra Gordon.

Royals dethroned by Pierson in Class C finals Girls’ BasketBall

Pierson/BH . . . . . . . . 69 Port Jefferson . . . . . 50 By Desirée Keegan

The No. 1-seeded Port Jefferson girls’ basketball team stayed toe-to-toe with its No. 2 Pierson/Bridgehampton challenger through two quarters on Tuesday, but as time wound down, the hole the Royals found themselves in grew too deep to pull out of. The team fell 69-50 in the Suffolk County Class C finals at Riverhead High School. “We had a fantastic season,” Port Jefferson head coach Ed Duddy said. “We started out slow, and they all came together to go on a 10-game streak. We won the league, which I didn’t expect at all, and it all came down to this game … and [Pierson/Bridgehampton] won the war.” The girls also came together in the first 16 minutes of the game. Port Jefferson junior forward Courtney Lewis scored the first points of a matchup that was just seven seconds old, but a minute later, Pierson countered to even the score. Lewis did it again, and after the Whalers tacked on another field goal, she added a free-throw point. She followed it up with her third field goal to put the Royals out front, 7-4. The junior banked two more points off a layup in

the quarter but her team let up on defense, and the Royals were down 16-11 heading into the second quarter. This time, it was Pierson that scored first, with a 3-pointer, followed by the two teams trading field goals before junior guard Jillian Colucci’s free-throw point made it 21-14.

SEX OFFENDERS Continued from page A3

was created include a Smithtown man, now 43, convicted of first-degree sexual abuse against a 19-year-old; a 61-yearold Rocky Point man who sexually abused a 12-year-old girl more than once; a Huntington man, now 40, who sexually abused an 11-year-old; and a Rocky Point man convicted of incest with a 17-year-old. Ahearn’s group has argued that sex offenders are more likely to reoffend as time goes on. According to Parents for Megan’s Law, recidivism rates are estimated to be 14 percent after five years and 27 percent after 20 years. One midnight in January, Suffolk County police arrested a 48-year-old man, later discovered to be a registered Level 1 sex offender, in Fort Salonga

after the suspect was allegedly caught undressed inside a vehicle with a 14-yearold boy. Police reported at the time that the two arranged the meeting over a cellphone application and there had been sexual contact. The man had been convicted of sexual misconduct with a 16-year-old girl in 2003 and was sentenced to six years of probation. His new charges included criminal sex act and endangering the welfare of a child. “So it makes no sense logically” to let Level 1 offenders drop off the registry after 20 years, Ahearn said in Port Jefferson Station. She has advocated for the terms to be extended or to have offenders appeal to be removed from the registry, like Level 2 offenders can after 30 years, so it can be decided on a caseby-case basis. It’s a “you-know-it-when-you-see-

shots didn’t fall,” Duddy said. “We got into foul trouble a little bit, but that’s the way it goes.” Despite back-to-back treys by Soucy and Colucci, and a Lewis trifecta with 1:06 left in the third, the Royals deficit remained as a result of the lack of pressure under the boards. Up 52-44, Pierson went on a 10-point streak before Port Jefferson junior forward Gillian Kenah scored the Royals’ first points of the quarter off an offense rebound from a missed Soucy attempt, with 2:56 left to play. Duddy said he thought his girls got frustrated after the Whalers knocked down some threes and long field goals. He added that the Royals switched between man-to-man and zone defense and passed the ball to try to minimize the damage, but to no avail. Lewis finished with a team-high 21 points, Colucci added 11 and Soucy finished with eight. Despite the season being cut short, Duddy said his Royals can walk away from this season with their heads held high, as it has consistently been able to improve with each season. “We’ve done a lot of things,” he said. “We just have to take it to that next level come the playoffs. We’re all coming back next year, and [Pierson’s team will] all be back, too. But I’m proud of my girls. I told them in the locker room that I couldn’t ask any more of them.” With every player returning to the roster next season, the Royals will be looking to make another postseason run, and Duddy is hoping to send them

it kind of thing, because you know when an adult man or an adult woman rapes a 4-year-old, that is just shocking,” she said. “That [should be] a lifetime registration.” Even if the offenders remain on the registry, the court ruling that struck down restrictions on where most offenders can live has made matters trickier. Ahearn said the fact that multiple layers of local government had enacted restrictions contributed to the situation. “What happened is it got out of control,” she said. Below the Suffolk County level, for example, the Town of Brookhaven had its own restrictions that prohibited offenders from living within a quarter mile of schools, playgrounds or parks. There are bills floating around the state government that would tighten restrictions on where certain sex offenders could live, but the only one

off on a high note. “I’ve been with them since they were freshmen, and I want to see them out as seniors,” he said. When asked if he thinks his team can continue to reach new heights, Duddy said, “Hell yeah. I told them, ‘If you’re in, I’m in.’”

that has gained traction is a bill state Sen. Michael Venditto (R-Massapequa) sponsored along with state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) that would return to local governments the power to regulate where offenders can reside. “Local laws designed to protect children against registered sex offenders are enacted in response to unique conditions and concerns of specific communities and should act in complement with existing state law,” the bill’s summary read. Although the bill passed the Senate last year, it died in the Assembly. But Venditto reintroduced his proposal this year.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

New York State should carry the torch

The Port Jefferson ambulance company serves Port Jefferson, Belle Terre and Mount Sinai.

Just following rules An OpEn LETTER TO pORT JEffERsOn REsIDEnTs: Over the last several months, the ambulance billing program that port Jefferson EMs operates for the benefit of the village has come under attack. We think it is important to speak up, as the picture being painted of the ambulance company is unfair and factually incorrect. In 2010, the ambulance company suggested third-party billing as a way for the village to offset the costs of ambulance service to the residents. A billing program was created and authorized through village resolution. The ambulance company has followed the 2010 village resolution exactly as written by the village attorney and voted on by the village board. The village board set the rules and fees. The ambulance company has

no legal ability to operate/facilitate a billing program for the village without the consent of the village board through village resolution. If the village board wants to alter, amend or end the billing program, it must do it through a board resolution. That is exactly what the board did at the february 2016 board meeting: alter their own resolution (“Bills be gone,” Feb. 4, page A7). When the board claims to have blocked the ambulance company from collecting fees from residents, they have only prevented themselves from collecting the fees. We only facilitate the collection for the village. nine percent of the revenues goes to the billing company for operating the program, the ambulance company retains 2 percent of the revenues to help pay for a portion of our administrative costs and 89 percent of the billing revenue is returned

to the village each month. This has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue to the village. Included with the monthly checks is a breakdown of each payment and deposit. It is disingenuous and factually incorrect for anyone to imply or state that the village does not know where every payment is coming from. We have and will always facilitate this program in any way the village would like, as long as it is done legally. In closing, despite the many accusations that have been thrown out over the last several months, the operation and ultimate destiny of the ambulance billing program was, is and will always be squarely in the hands of the village board, not the ambulance company.

Laws governing sex offenders have turned a corner over the last year. County and town governments recently lost the authority to regulate where registered sex offenders are allowed to live. That power now rests solely with new York state, which only limits offenders on parole or probation. While we appreciate the good intention behind one state senator’s bill to let local governments enact their own residency restrictions, it is not ideal. part of the reason the local municipalities’ authority was overturned in the new York state Court of Appeals last year is that there were too many layers of restrictions. In just our area alone, both suffolk County and the Town of Brookhaven had their own separate restrictions on where registered sex offenders could reside in their jurisdictions. There should be laws that prevent sex offenders from living within certain distances from schools or their victims, but allowing each county, town or village to decide on their own creates a mishmash of rules that are nearly impossible to follow. When this is the process, there are counties and towns next door to one another, or even overlapping, with different rules. That makes it more difficult for sex offenders to comply, and it would benefit us all if offenders are more able to actually comply with the laws we have enacted. In addition, clean-cut laws that are easy to identify, and thus follow, would also likely bring peace of mind to their victims, who deserve to feel safe. The onus should be on the state to design more comprehensive restrictions on where registered sex offenders can live. That system should include required distances from victims’ homes and places of employment, as well as schools, playgrounds and other places where children gather. And the regulations should vary slightly based upon a community’s density, so as not to treat urban, suburban and rural areas as if they are the same. Although more state regulation is not always an appealing idea, this is one of those cases when we need the state to intervene, in order to make enforcement more uniform. And it is an important issue, because it has an immediate impact on our children and on the sex crime victims we have a moral responsibility to protect.

New York State should establish uniform rules for where registered sex offenders can live, with an eye on distances from their victims as well as schools and playgrounds like the one above.

Einstein’s theory continues to make waves with new discovery

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

bout 61 years after he died, Albert Einstein is still right. The legendary theoretical physicist predicted a century ago that a space time continuum would contain gravitational waves. This past September, a team of more than 1,000 scientists heard a sound from a billion light-years away that was generated by two black holes colliding. The scientists were working at the Laser

Interferometer GravitationalWave Observatory, known as LIGO. The announcement of the results, made on Feb. 11, was greeted with considerable excitement by physicists, mathematicians and scientists, with one of them saying that astronomers have long had eyes but this breakthrough gives them ears, too. I asked Marilena LoVerde and Patrick Meade, Stony Brook University assistant professors at the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics, for their take on the big announcement. DD: How does the significance of any potential finding of gravitational waves compare to that for the Higgs boson particle? Some people have suggested that it’s on the scale, if not larger, than the Higgs boson particle. PM: I would certainly say it’s a very big discovery. However, unlike the Higgs, gravitational waves were on a much stronger footing that they should exist. The Higgs told us something

new about how the universe worked, and it didn’t have to be true — there were many other options. However, gravitational waves are exciting because it’s a validation of the theory we already use, general relativity, and it may provide a new way to search for physics we haven’t discovered yet. ML: This is absolutely on the scale of the Higgs boson. Similar to the Higgs boson, gravitational waves were predicted and expected to exist — and in fact indirectly measured through the spin down of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar — but the direct detection of gravitational waves is an absolute triumph of experimental physics and opens an exciting new era of gravitational wave astronomy. DD: What has the email traffic about this announcement been during the last week? Have you received emails from scientists, colleagues, collaborators and friends who all want to know what this would mean and what you make of it?

ML: Rumors have been going around for months, but the frequency of people emailing/ discussing such rumors and adding pieces of evidence suggesting they were true, and the details of the rumors have all increased significantly in the past few weeks. PM: Since this isn’t directly my field I wasn’t as involved as with some other rumors, but rumors through Twitter, blogs and conversations with colleagues at other places who heard things were all happening over about the last month. DD: Is there a chance that whatever was detected was an artifact? ML: The signal looks very compelling. Of course I haven’t had much time to study the details of the statistical methods used to extract the signal and I’m looking forward to doing that. PM: I’d say it’s extremely unlikely to be an artifact or statistical anomaly, because the same signal was seen in two separate detectors — one in Washington [state] and one in Louisiana.

Astronomers have long had eyes but this breakthrough gives them ears, too. DD: Will the existence and detection of gravitational waves open up the sky to enable us to “see” much more than we can now in terms of matter and the universe? Will they help us see and understand dark matter and dark energy? PM: Gravitational waves definitely open up a whole new way to see the universe. However they won’t directly give us any information on dark matter or dark energy in the foreseeable future. To make gravitational waves that are observable with our technology you need very violent gravitational events, like these two black holes merging that LIGO saw. However, by developing new detectors with better sensitivity we may be able to look back and see other violent events in the history of the universe.

George Washington, an unlikely whiskey baron

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

his past Monday was Presidents Day, and we might have been thinking of our great presidents, if we were thinking of them at all in the midst of a vacation day, as being larger than life. However, in a recent biogra-

phy of George Washington, Ron Chernow tells us that for all the 8,000 acres of splendid estate and many slaves to work the property, Washington when he retired from the presidency in 1797, was hard up for cash. Financial pressure was “unrelenting.” I don’t know about you, but to me that makes him a more human founding father, one almost every business person and resident can identify with. So what did the father of our country do? He looked around his farmland for a new profit source, one that would supply cash rather quickly, and came up with the idea of making whiskey. It was not, The New York Times tells us in a recent article, his idea alone. His new plantation manager, James Anderson, was a Scotsman

and distiller. Mount Vernon had plenty of rye and together with what Washington called “Indian corn” and a still, they were able to make ample supplies of whiskey. Now this is not how we usually think of our first president, the guy who chopped down the cherry tree and the president who sent militiamen to quash the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania when local distillers revolted against a federally imposed whiskey tax. Washington was aware of his image problem but, entrepreneur that he needed to be, he became something of a whiskey baron. In the first full year of operation, almost 11,000 gallons were produced and the whiskey earned a profit equivalent to some $142,000

in today’s dollars. A distillery was built that was one of the largest of the time. Washington blamed his new success on Anderson, unwilling to take personal credit. The distillery was rebuilt after tours of Mount Vernon began and can be viewed by the many visitors to the estate each year. The old recipe is still used when samples are handed out. Washington did enjoy alcohol, favoring “sweet wines, rum punch and whiskey,” but his reputation for alcohol in moderation was established by his stern action toward his troops when they became drunk and his reluctance to pass out drinks when he ran the first time for election to the Virginia House of Burgesses. His opponent did and duly won. A quick study,

Now this is not how we think of our first president. Washington did so the next time he ran, and this time he was successful. Unfortunately for Washington, he was not able to realize a growing success from his whiskey efforts. In 1799, the second full year of production, he died at the age of 67. He willed the distillery to a granddaughter of his wife Martha, but a fire destroyed the operation in 1814. Only relatively recently has this chapter in Washington’s life become widely known, and it adds a colorful dimension to the man and his myth.
