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.

Town St. James family battling autism given golden gift By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com A St. James family is looking ahead to brighter days raising their son with autism after receiving a generous donation. The Cusumano family received an extensive 84-panel solar system donated by SUNation Solar Systems and its not-forprofit SUNation Cares, which will supply free electricity for life. The funds saved will be used to help their 14-year-old son Dylan attend weekly equine therapy sessions at Pal-O-Mine Equestrian in Islandia. “When we can all come together as a team it makes a tremendous difference in people’s lives, especially people like the Cusumanos who are most deserving to reap the benefits and tremendous rewards that were generously donated,” said Lisa Gatti, founder and executive director of Pal-O-Mine. The solar panels donated to the family were the end result of positive community building by several local companies. Gatti said she was introduced to Scott Maskin, CEO and co-founder of SUNation, a Ronkonkoma-based solar panel company, through Empire National Bank, where they are both customers. Maskin said as he learned firsthand about the nonprofit work done by Pal-O-Mine to benefit children with disabilities, he asked Gatti if there was a family he could step in to help. That’s when the Cusumanos were nominated.

“We are overwhelmed by the generosity and I think we were stunned because we feel there are so many needy families on Long Island,” said Amy Cusumano, Dylan’s mother. “The gift of solar panels lessens our load or burden so the money we are using to pay an electric bill, we now get to decide if we can increase his horse time or do something else for the boys.” Dylan, the oldest of the Cusumano’s five sons, started horseback riding at Pal-O-Mine at age 5 due to the therapeutic benefits. Equine therapy provides children with disabilities with positive vestibular, or inner ear, input, can improve speech and language skills, help with walking and can increase fine and gross motor skills, according to Gatti. “[Dylan] didn’t speak when he came to Pal-O-Mine,” she said. “One of his first words was ‘walk.’ I remember Ms. Cusumano being shocked he began to speak while he was riding.” Despite seeing improvement, Amy Cusumano said she was forced to discontinue her son’s horseback riding lessons for a few years when financial hardship struck. She said it was heartbreaking. “When he’s on the horse, he’s so at peace, he’s so totally Dylan,” his mother said. “So when we can give him that half an hour a week where he can just enjoy himself and have some fun, it’s money well spent.” Cusumano said Dylan’s medical care costs run $35,000 to $40,000 a year on average

The estimated $3,000 a year the solar panels will save the Cusumano family will be used to help pay for his adaptive riding, which typically costs $260 for four 30-minute sessions. Dylan’s individually tailored plan through Pal-O-Mine has him riding Ella, a 12-year-old palomino haflinger, once a week. His mother

said Dylan frequently requests to go see his horse and cares for her. Horseback riding is motivating to him, and gives Dylan a sense of empowerment and independence, according to Cusumano. “Autism is not the primary thing we are thinking about,” she said. “Maybe we’re thinking about how amazing he is or that he can ride a horse.”

Rally in Charlottesville hits close to home By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com When Vice News premiered a documentary on HBO about the recent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, the story took a local twist when it featured former Stony Brook resident Christopher Cantwell. Cantwell, who currently lives in Keene, New page a22 Hampshire, is a white supremacist who hosts an alternative right call-in show, “Radical Agenda,” which is live streamed through Facebook and UStream. In the Vice documentary, he can be seen with other marchers holding torches and chanting: “Jews will not replace us” and “White lives matter.” During the filming, after being sprayed with mace in his eyes, he said he was attacked by counter-protesters and called them “communists.” Cantwell did not respond to multiple different requests for comment. Calls to a residence connected to him on Skylark Lane in Stony Brook were not answered, and when a News 12 Long Island reporter approached a man in the driveway of the home, the man denied knowing Cantwell. It was seen on his website in recent days that Cantwell now fears for his life.

Editorial comment

Vice documentary

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

photo from chris cantwell’s Facebook

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

Cantwell living locally

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

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

Community reaction

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

Sign it’s time to celebrate BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM Smithtown drivers heading westbound on Edgewater Avenue may find themselves greeted with a sign filled with cause for celebration. The Resurrection Byzantine Catholic Church of Smithtown, located on the corner of Edgewater and Mayflower avenues, erected a new public sign to welcome parishioners and visitors alike over the summer.

The new red wooden display sign with lighting was made possible due to generous donations. It will be used to announce services and special events. The sign currently bears a message that the congregation is preparing to celebrate its upcoming 50th anniversary. The Resurrection Byzantine Catholic Church will mark its anniversary on Sept. 17 with a hierarchical liturgy at 10 a.m. followed by an anniversary banquet at Majestic Gardens in Rocky Point from 1 to 5 p.m.

East football looking to make deeper run in playoffs By Bill landon It’s early in the preseason, but there are already some things about Smithtown East’s football team that are exciting second-year head coach Jon Woods. “They care tremendously about the commitment level they have to succeed, and they care about one another,” he said. “They care about the sport and they work hard.” Woods took over a winless Bulls team that went 0-8 two years ago, and helped the team reach a midway point, finishing with a 4-4 record last year. Smithtown East just made it into the playoffs, but faced an ominous task of playing the top seed in Division II, West Islip.

Senior running back and middle linebacker Lauden Hendricks said the new coaching staff brought in a dramatic shift of philosophy from the very first day of practice one year ago. “The turnaround began from within — the culture all around changed from that 0-8 season; the leadership, we committed ourselves to being accountable for our [actions], [toughened up] and this year our focus remains on leadership that’s centered on love, brotherhood and empathy,” Hendricks said. “This year it’s our commitment to each other — we lost a lot of seniors last year but it’s our willingness to step up. So many of us have put in a lot of work in the off-season before we even put on the pads.” Attention to detail is something that second-year varsity tight end and outside linebacker Robert Fondacaro said his team will concentrate on. “The key to success this season is to do all the little things correctly — play in unison, build on our synergy and play mistake free,” the senior said. “As a group, everyone needs to come together and play the right way, and that’s how we’ll have success this year.” Senior right tackle J.J. Forrest said he likes that the team preaches how to maintain control at the line of scrimmage. “[It] comes from our coaching staff — we always work our schemes from the inside out,” Forrest said. “We have to give our quarterbacks time in the pocket and open up holes for our running backs.” Forrest said he sees his teammates work like “dogs” every day and hopes that will help them make a deeper run in the post season. “It’s a great senior class a great junior class with great coaching,” said third-year varsity wide receiver Andrew Durland. “In our 0-8 season we just didn’t click, but be-

ginning last year we’ve developed a brotherhood on and off the field. And it’s not just in us, it’s the community. Everyone comes to the games and it brings a [whole] different atmosphere.” Senior quarterback and second year varsity player Austin Nasworthy agreed with Durland that nothing would be sweeter than to defeat their crosstown rival this season. “The team we’d love to beat this year is Smithtown West, but we do have Bay Shore on the schedule this year [ranked No. 1 in Division II] and it would mean a lot if we could knock off Bay Shore,” said Nasworthy. “We want to show that we’re still here — we’re not going to roll over like the 0-8 team did. We lost a lot of seniors but we’re going to bounce back with confidence, get our job done.” Unfortunately, the off-season brought tragedy for Smithtown East’s coaching staff,

as assistant coach Brian Connors died in a snowboarding accident at Belleayre Mountain ski resort in Highmount in January. “Brian was exactly what we hope to have more of in our society and was a model for our kids too,” Woods said. “He was very kind, very patient, very easy to like, easy to be around. He was just a real classy guy. This team is trying to play in Brian Connors’ image.” With double practice sessions underway, the Bulls are preparing for their season opener at home where they’ll face Copiague. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sept. 9. “It’s our seniors ability to show leadership — not only do they care, they put in the work and set the example, and they’re holding their teammates accountable,” Woods said. “We have 13 seniors and they all have roles that are important to the team, and that’s exciting.”

Letters to the editor

Gyrodyne needs to be transparent with public

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.

The Gyrodyne Corporation has submitted an application to the Smithtown Planning Department to subdivide approximately 75 acres of its property in Flowerfield, St. James. The proposition is to build a hotel, two medical office buildings and two assisted living facilities. Gyrodyne has the absolute right to develop its property within the bounds of the law. However, such an application should proceed with adequate notice to municipalities and property owners in the area. Thus far, this has not occurred. My first knowledge of the pending application was on Aug. 1, when I received an email from the Head of the Harbor Village clerk stating that she had received a letter that day advising that the Suffolk County Planning Commission had scheduled the Gyrodyne application for its meeting the following day, Aug. 2. The letter, from the Suffolk County Planning Department, was dated the previous Wednesday, mailed on Thursday and invited the village to submit any comments before the Aug. 2 meeting. The Gyrodyne parcel is separated from Head of the Harbor Village by North Country Road. Obviously, no meaningful response could be made on such

short notice, especially since the only paperwork that accompanied the letter was a miniaturized copy of the proposed site plan. The letter did not contain any information as to the nature of the proposal. It only stated that it was a “subdivision.” On her own, the village clerk accessed the county’s website and obtained and distributed a nine-page staff report from the county planning department that described the proposal in detail. It contained 13 recommendations. I attended the 2 p.m. meeting on Aug. 2 and at that time expressed my concern and disappointment that not until the day before had Head of the Harbor Village received any notification of this proposal. I suggested that in the future if there was to be any meaningful input from adjoining municipalities, as the county requested, more notice should be given. I made it clear to the commissioners that I was speaking in my personal capacity and not in any official capacity on behalf of the village, although I am chairman of the village’s board of zoning appeals. I pointed out that it is only because I am a village official that I received a copy of the notification in the first place.

I was told that the application to the Smithtown Planning Department was made in June, and that the referral to the county planning commission was made because the property that is the subject of the application is located within 500 feet of adjoining municipalities. However, as of Aug. 15, the town planning department still has not provided Head of the Harbor Village with a copy of the application or site plan or, to my knowledge, any notification of the proposal. There are several significant concerns regarding the development of this property. It has the potential to destroy one of the few beautiful, serene and historic hamlets left on Long Island. Given the magnitude of the proposal, it is important for the public to know as much as it can as early as it can. The last time that Gyrodyne proposed to develop its property, in the late 1990s, it invited the members of the St. James Chamber of Commerce and the public at large to a meeting to discuss the proposal. If there is an interest in being a good neighbor, it should do the same this time.

Joseph A. Bollhofer Head of the Harbor

St. James commissioners ask village to vote As commissioners of the St. James Fire District, we encourage all eligible residents to learn about our proposal for improving fire services in the St. James community. Residents will have the opportunity to vote on the proposal Sept. 19 from 3 to 9 p.m. We have spent a great deal of time over the past several years discussing how to best meet the needs of the community in the most safe and efficient manner possible, while at the same time being mindful of the tax impact. Our volunteers are facing real challenges due to facility limitations. The proposal seeks to address three major concerns: the safety challenges posed by the configuration of the current firehouse on Jefferson Avenue, damage endured at the facility last August following a large-scale storm and subsequent flood and the antiquated Route 25A/Lake Avenue facility constructed in 1922 that is out-of-date with current fire safety standards and procedures and is undersized for most of the fire district’s fire trucks and engines. We are not looking to build a luxurious firehouse. We are simply

looking to provide our dedicated volunteers with the basic and modern resources they need to effectively do their job — a job that protects and serves the residents of this community in their greatest times of need. The proposed plan calls for the consolidation of all fire services through the construction of a new facility on the existing Jefferson Avenue property. A new, centralized building will not only alleviate the safety concerns that currently exist but will also allow the district to efficiently serve the community well into the future. The building would feature spaces that could be converted into accommodations for members and the community during storms or other major emergencies and would also house a large meeting room for department meetings and community use. It is important to note that regardless of the outcome of the vote Sept. 19, the fire district is moving ahead with the sale of the firehouse at the Route 25A/Lake Avenue location to the St. James Fire Department, which originally owned the building prior to the

district’s purchase of the property in 2013. While we certainly recognize the sentimental value that many in the community have for this building, the firehouse is antiquated, undersized and no longer best serves the fire district for the purpose of responding to calls in a quick, safe and efficient manner. Financially, it is no longer in the fire district’s best interest to use valuable taxpayer funds to maintain this outdated property. We will host a public hearing on the proposal on Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Jefferson Avenue firehouse, as well as open houses on Sept. 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Sept. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m.; and Sept. 17 from 1 to 3 p.m., all at the Jefferson Avenue firehouse. Please remember to vote on Sept. 19. Polls will be open from 3 to 9 p.m. at the Jefferson Avenue firehouse, as well as at the Fairfield Condos of St. James for those who live in Election District 79 within the St. James Fire District.

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.”

Peeking behind the curtain of the universe

T

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

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

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

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