Hello, I’m Sara Walsh. I am overjoyed to be jumping head first into my new position as the editor of The Times of Huntington with Times Beacon Record Newspapers. My first issue came out last week - hope you enjoyed it. Huntington is a town that I happen to feel a strong connection with. Growing up on Long Island, Huntington has long been one of my favorite towns. It has a diversity of great restaurants, an active nightlife, and there’s always an event to attend. Some have nicknamed the area, “Little Manhattan.” Despite attracting more than its fair share of visitors, Huntington and its many surrounding towns - Asharoken, Commack, Northport, East Northport and Huntington Station also have a strong sense of community. There is an abundance of civic associations, business districts, grassroot movements and leaders unafraid to ask for what their community needs. In the past, I have listened to and shared your stories as a reporter first for Long Islander Newspapers then online for Patch.com. I realized I wanted to tell stories in greater

detail, scratch beyond the surface and take a deep look at the issues. So, I went back to school. This past May, I’m proud to say I received my master’s degree in journalism with a focus on political and government reporting. My professors were top-notch professionals who are still actively reporting on the major issues that affect our country. I feel better prepared to tackle local issues affecting Long Islanders and help explain how national issues can have an impact on our day-to-day lives. I won’t lie: you’ll also eagerly find me taste testing all the new eateries across Huntington and revisiting some old favorites. After work, don’t be surprised to catch me hulahooping in Heckscher Park. You’re welcome to join me. I look forward to becoming a part of this community again and continuing the Times of Huntington’s mission of being residents’ go-to source for local news. As I begin my new journey with the paper, I’m curious to hear what concerns Huntington residents may have and what interesting events are taking place. Feel free to email me at sara@tbrnewspapers.com or call the office at 631-751-7744, ext. 110. I’m here to serve you to my fullest potential, help share your stories,and bring all the best and most important local coverage to your front doors and newsstands. I look forward to being your editor.

Town Huntington Station sewer study moves forward By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com Efforts to revitalize the southern portion of Huntington Station received a much-needed push forward last week. Huntington Town Board members voted to approve spending $1.25 million in bond funds received from the Suffolk County Legislature to conduct an extensive sewer study as part of the Huntington Station revitalization efforts. The lack of sewers in Huntington Station is one of the areas that is desperately in need of improvement to make revitalization possible, as the land north of the Long Island Rail Road tracks in Huntington Station is served by the sewer district, but the south side is not, which has limited development and economic opportunities. “It is the hurdle that prevents development from occurring,” said Ryan Porter, the director of planning and development with Renaissance Downtowns. “It prevents this project from being implemented on the south side.” Renaissance Downtowns is a nationallyrenowned development group chosen by the town to be a master developer of Huntington Station’s revitalization in 2012. Porter said due to the lack of sewer access in the south, the town has been forced to pursue a “dual track” when approaching revitalization efforts. Construction of a mix-used building at the intersection of Northridge Street and

This artistic rendering depicts what huntington Station may look like once revitalized. New York Avenue was started this past January while there remain no specific plans yet in place for the south side of town, according to Porter. The sewer study, which will be conducted by Suffolk County under an intermunicipal agreement, will analyze the existing sewer infrastructure, feasibility and design conditions within Huntington Station to determine the most efficient way to connect the southern part of the town to existing sewer districts. The southwest sewer district, which

currently serves areas in the Town of Babylon and Town of Islip, currently extends only as north on Route 110 as the Walt Whitman Mall. Porter said if southern portions of Huntington Station could be hooked into either the southwest sewer district or another system, it would greatly increase the future development potential. “If an existing building is under performing, [the owner] can only tear down what they have and rebuild the same thing,” Porter said. “There’s very little motivation

for people to improve their buildings. If sewers were available, they could increase the building’s uses which is a financial justification to rebuild your property.” Suffolk County has already moved to issue the request for bids from engineering firms interested in undertaking the study.

Town ‘I don’t want to do it just in my neighborhood on the street, but I want to be able to walk my dog in a beautiful public park.’ —Ginny Munger Kahn

Dogs can now stroll through most Huntington Town parks Owners will be required to keep companions on a leash By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com The dog days of summer are here as Huntington residents and their canine companions are now welcome to enjoy a stroll in most local parks. Huntington Town Board voted unanimously at their Aug. 15 meeting to amend town code to allow on-leash walking of dogs at town parks. “It is the highlight of my day to take my dog for a long walk,” said Ginny Munger Kahn, president of the Huntington-based Long Island Dog Owners Group. “I don’t want to do it just in my neighborhood on the street, but I want to be able to walk my dog in a beautiful public park. It’s been frustrating over the years on Long Island as many towns don’t allow it.”

The town code changes now permit onleash walking of dogs in town parks and trails on a leash that’s 4-to-6 feet in length. Dog owners are required to immediately pick up and dispose of any waste. It will remain illegal for dog owners to bring their canine companions into the more developed areas of town parks: all playgrounds, picnic areas, courts and sports fields, campgrounds, near educational area programs and all town beaches with the exception of paved areas and boardwalks. The exceptions to the new changes are that no dogs will be allowed at Huntington’s Heckscher Park or Centerport’s Betty Allen Twin Ponds Nature Park. Huntington spokesman A.J. Carter said that based on recommendations made by the Huntington Greenway Trails Advisory Committee in a letter dated May 24, town board members excluded Heckscher Park due to its continuous public events and the nature park due to its primary use as a fishing site, as casting of lures could pose safety risks. The decision to exclude Heckscher Park, one of the more widely used town parks, was not unanimous. “We thought that Heckscher Park would greatly benefit from the presence of leashed dogs as it would deter the geese from fouling the grass there,” Munger Kahn said. “Unfortunately, the town was not ready to make that change yet.” She pointed out that Northport Village had similar issues with a population of Canadian geese making a mess of Northport Village Park, which based on her personal experience has been largely resolved by allowing on-leash canines and their companions to stroll the grounds.

Dog owners in the Town of huntington can now walk their dogs on leashes in most local parks, like those at Frazer Drive Park in greenlawn, above. “We hope that once the policy is put into effect and proven successful that we will be able to revisit the issue with the town,” Munger Kahn said. The push for changes to Huntington’s park regulations started as a request made by the trails committee in early 2016 for uniform park standards. “It was kind of crazy to have some parks in the Town of Huntington allow on-leash dogs and the vast majority of town-owned parks not to allow dogs on a leash,” Munger Kahn said. “This was confusing to people. The

thought was if we adopted standards, a policy more closely aligned with Suffolk County’s policy, it would make enforcement easier.” The town co-owns 10 parks with Suffolk County, including Knolls Park, Hilaire Woods Park, Fuchs Pond Preserve, Paumanok Wetlands Preserve, Elwood-Greenlawn Woods, Breezy Park and Lewis Oliver Farm. Under county code, licensed dogs were permitted on trails in all county parks on a leash not more than 6 feet in length. The new laws approved by Huntington now fall more in line with the county code.

Huntington Eagle Scout wins award

Congratulations to Troop 406’s Andrew Martin, the 2017 Anthony J. Stupore Memorial Scout Scholarship recipient. The scholarship is awarded annually to one outstanding Suffolk County Council (BSA) Scout in recognition of his community service, leadership skills, and Scout spirit. Eagle Scout Martin was recognized with the award during the annual William H. Sample and Anthony J. Stupore Memorial “Good Scout” golf outing on June 19 held at the Huntington Country Club. As the only recipient of the Anthony J. Stupore Memorial Scout Scholarship, he learned he was the winner after a message was left on his home voice mail. Coincidentally, he was attending his own Senior Awards Night at Walt Whitman High School and from there went directly to his weekly Scout troop meeting. “I was in shock when I learned about being the selected winner and that it’s the Stupore family who makes the final decision. I’m overwhelmed and thrilled to be the winner in 2017,” Martin said. He is an active Boy Scout having joined Scouting later than most having never been involved as a Cub Scout. Martin earned his Eagle Scout rank in Troop 406 (Melville/Huntington) on April 25, 2016, and was presented with his bronze palm during his Court of Honor ceremony. His Eagle Scout community service project was to create a Reading Garden, which consisted of three benches and a small garden at the Birchwood Intermediate School, which he attended from third to fifth grade. He also supplied “imitation grass interlocking squares pads” for extra seating in the area for the students while teachers use the area for outside lessons. One of 11 Eagle Scouts in the 2017 graduating class at Whitman High School, Martin will be attending Misericordia University in Dallas, Pennsylvania, in September, studying government, law and nation-

al security, “with a focus in a career in any of these paths in the future,” Martin said. The Anthony J. Stupore Memorial Scout Scholarship is awarded annually to one Boy Scout who meets the criteria of being a registered Boy Scout, active in his unit, a senior in high school and accepted by either a two- or four-year college.

Huntington Reaching Eagle Scout

Photos from Northport-East Northport School District

Making music happen Family members in the NorthportEast Northport School District beamed with pride on Aug. 2 and 4 while watching their children perform the skills they learned during the course of several weeks in the Northport Music and the Arts Summer Program. Held at Northport High School during the evening of Aug. 2, several groups showcased their musical abilities includ-

ing the elementary orchestra, elementary band and intermediate orchestra. In addition, those involved in the dance group performed an exciting flash mob during the day, in the halls of East Northport Middle School. Families were invited for demonstrations on Aug. 4, the final day of the program. Here, the students took to their classrooms and under the guidance of their music teachers, showed off what they had learned.

Boy Scout Troop 78 recently celebrated its newest Eagle Scout, Nicholas Vizza, at his Court of Honor on Aug. 6 at the Halesite Fire Department. Suffolk County Legislator William Spencer (D-Centerport) was proud to be in attendance to recognize Nicholas’s great achievement and extraordinary project. Nicholas dedicated his service project to his father Francis Vizza, an Air Force veteran and devoted baseball coach who passed away in 2015. With the help of the Town of Huntington’s General Services, and in particular the Director Mark Tyree, Nicholas installed a 25-foot flagpole with a circular cement base filled with flowers at the Mill Dam Park baseball fields. The American flag has always been a strong and prominent symbol in the Vizza household so this is a fitting tribute and wonderful contribution to our community. “I am inspired by Nicholas’s thoughtful and meaningful project memorializing his father’s life and love of baseball,” Spencer

said. “On behalf of the residents of the 18th Legislative District, I thank and congratulate Nicholas on a job well done.”

TOWN

Art takes to Huntington’s streets BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM Traffic light signals may traditionally be red, yellow and green but new colors are popping up on signal boxes mounted on sidewalks and poles across Huntington and Huntington Station. Huntington Town Board approved spending $9,380 in pledged funds for an additional 10 traffic signal boxes painted by local artists to be installed on the town’s streets. “Art on signal boxes serves a

number of different purposes,” town Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) said. “For one, the art helps reduce graffiti on the boxes. But just as important, the art adds a distinctiveness and flair to our commercial districts.” In the town’s efforts to bring art to public streets, four decorated signal boxes have been installed so far, three in Huntington and one in Huntington Station. There are plans to install three more by the end of August and three scheduled to be on display by the end of September. Each of the painted signal box-

es has its own theme. One work, “Bumblebee,” has been installed on the northwest corner of Main and Clinton streets while Jack Pierce’s “Flowers” was placed on a box at the southwest corner of Main Street and New York Avenue. “The boxes are interesting to look at, tell stories about our area and prove that you don’t have to go to a museum to see fine art,” Petrone said. “I thank our Business Improvement Districts for helping with some of the funding and I am pleased that we continue to be able to expand this popular program.”

The three painted traffic signal boxes pictured above are the first to be installed as part of Town of Huntington’s efforts to bring local art to public streets.

TOWN Historical society calls for York Hall’s preservation BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM A historical society is holding out hope that a unique piece of Kings Park community history can be preserved for future generations to enjoy. The Society for Preservation of Long Island Antiquities has placed York Hall, the auditorium and community center of the former Kings Park Psychiatric Center, on its 2017 List of Endangered Historic Places. Sarah Kautz, director of preservation for SPLIA, said the historic building located at the entrance of Nissequogue River State Park is in critical need of preventative maintenance and security to preserve it for future community use. York Hall, built in 1930, was used by the psychiatric patients for recreational activities and later as a community civic center and public meeting place. “In a place where there are some darker stories to tell, it was a place where people came together to celebrate and enjoy life,” Kautz said. When the hospital was decommissioned in the 1990s, the property was transferred to New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Since then the building has been vacant, with the exception of trespassing ghost hunters and graffiti artists, and has fallen into disrepair. Kautz said York Hall has signs of ad-

York Hall, formerly the recreational center of Kings Park Psychiatric Center, has deteriorated after years of vandalism and disuse. vanced deterioration over time. The roof is damaged, allowing rainwater to leak inside, and many of the windows and doors are damaged and spray painted. “The interior is in very poor condition due to roof leaking, copper stripping and extensive vandalism over an extensive period of time” Kautz said. “It’s been the same

cyclical and recurring concern with all the buildings of Kings Park Psychiatric Center.” SPLIA is advocating for York Hall to be secured by sealing off the building, including boarding up the roof, and mothballed. The group is seeking a public-private partnership to rehabilitate the building. Kautz said she has reached out to the Kings Park

Civic Association and Kings Park Chamber of Commerce to open avenues for collaborative discussions. “The community still wants it to be used as a theater and civic center,” Kautz said. “It’s a great mid-sized performance space that is rare to find in this area. I think because of its history and why it was built, the community would like to see it returned to that role.” The state launched a remediation initiative in 2012 to transform the former psychiatric center into Nissequogue River State Park. Phase one of the project, which was started in 2013, focused on demolition of 19 buildings, removal of the steam tunnels and asphalt, site restoration and reconstruction of the north boat launch to improve access to the Nissequogue River. In April 2016, phase two was announced and is currently underway to remove nine additional buildings and a segment of a 10th building, according to the state parks department’s spokesperson Randy Simons. “We have our concerns about the wider context of the former Kings Park Psychiatric Center,” Kautz said “There’s no master plan. There’s never been a master plan which would include the former psychiatric center.” Simons said that two former psychiatric center buildings, Buildings 130 and 132, which both served as medical staff housing, have been preserved for future adaptive reuse as the development of the park progresses.

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.

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.

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.

Zeldin’s letter reinforces Trump’s lie 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.

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

E

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.”

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.

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.

Nonprofit is making life easier for former boxers Ring 10 raises money to help abandoned fighters, those down on their luck BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM It was one of the few times Howard Davis Jr.’s wife saw him cry in public. The Glen Cove native and Olympic gold medalist who made history in 1976 as the first amateur boxer to win the New York Golden Gloves tournament four years in a row had just about lost hope that he would ever get back his coveted awards, which were stolen from him and sold at a garage sale. That all changed Sept. 13, 2015, when he was honored by Matt Farrago and his New York-based nonprofit, Ring 10, during a gala at Marina del Rey Caterers in the Bronx. Davis, who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer earlier that year at 59 and was on a personal mission to retrieve the mementos for his family before it was too late, was presented with four golden pendants. Each one was a perfect replica of his lost golden gloves pendants, made and paid for by Ring 10. Veteran fighters from the nonprofit took turns placing them around his neck. All Davis could do was bury his head in his hands. “It was such an emotional moment and it was all because of Matt Farrago and Ring 10,” his wife Karla Guadamuz-Davis said, adding that the organization regularly helped pay for her now-late husband’s expensive medical treatment. “After Howard passed away on

Clockwise from top, Ring 10 boxers smile during a fundraiser; Ring 10 founder Matt Farrago with board member Richard Schwartz; and Farrago with the late boxer and gold medalist Howard Davis Jr. said they anticipate some younger guys currently in the ring coming to them for help. “Boxers are basically pawns to be moved around,” said Richard Schwartz, one of the board of directors. “I also think there’s the feeling that a lot of people just don’t care — they don’t care about the modern-day gladiators who get in the ring to entertain them, who risk their lives. Once they hang up their gloves and a lot of the hits to the head kick in, many of them don’t even have any kind of medical insurance when they need it most. Where is Don King? Where is Oscar De La Hoyas? These people have made hundreds of millions of dollars from the sweat, blood and tears of these fighters, and where are they?” To Burton, a boxer who has been swindled out of a fair share of money over the years, there’s hope as long as Farrago is around. “Everything he says he does, he actually does,” Burton said. “He goes beyond what’s expected of him and he’ll help anybody. If you’re down on your luck, Matt will find a way to raise money for you.
