Love is in the air during the February meeting of the Stony Brook Camera Club at Panera Bread in Port Jefferson Station. Members showed a variety of photos portraying the subject of “Love.” Children, cats and dogs,and even a father and little daughter sharing afternoon tea at Robinson’s Tea Room in Stony Brook depicted the themes at the club’s latest meeting. Richard Weiderman showcased one particular photo of his children and a watercolor painting copy that members also fell in love with. The meeting generated several discussions about photographic techniques and ended with Valentine’s Day cupcakes baked by Camera Club President Nicole Mullen.

Three Village church keeps building bridges BY Phil Corso

“It changed, so how can we?” That is the question the Rev. Greg Leonard of Setauket’s Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church has asked the Three Village community, and that is the question residents will have the chance to answer at a special service planned for next week. Leonard and more than 100 members of his church hosted a moving ceremony in the aftermath of June’s horrific shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Carolina, and he said Black History Month was an appropriate time to reflect. “At the previous meeting, we started to build bridges to one

another and we want to continue doing this,” he said. “And with this being Black History Month, Bethel wanted to take leadership and hold an event at which all people — because black history isn’t just for black people — can come together.” Bethel AME scheduled the gathering for Saturday, Feb. 27 at 3 p.m. at the church, located at 33 Christian Ave. in Setauket. The event flyer that Bethel AME Church has been distributing promoted the hash tag #PrayForCharleston, which went viral following the June 17, 2015 shooting that killed nine African Americans at the church in South Carolina. The flyer also challenged the Three Village comCHURCH continued on page A7

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 sport-

ing 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 fulltime 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.

The science department chair at P. J. Gelinas Junior High School received special recognition at the most recent Three Village board of education meeting. Gary Vorwald has taught science in Three Village since 1997 and has led the Gelinas Science Olympiad team to several championships. He also has received awards in his own right. Among them, he was named a New York State master teacher in 2015. In the same year, the New York Earth Science Teachers Association gave him its first Distinguished Earth Science Teacher award. In Vorwald’s honor, State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) paid a surprise visit during the board meeting. The Gelinas science teacher and paleontologist had just completed a presentation on the secondary science curriculum with colleagues Marnie Kula and Patrick McManus. Englebright praised Vorwald. “He has brought distinction to his work, but that’s not what he tried to do,” said the assemblyman, who also is a geologist and lecturer at Stony Brook University. “What he tried to do is bring opportunities for learning for our children. The other things just happened because he was successful in bringing out the best. ... He’s a scientist as well as a teacher. We’re so very fortunate that he brought his mastery of science and his unquenchable desire to learn as an inspiration for our kids.” During their curriculum presentation, Vorwald and his colleagues emphasized dedication to science instruction. “We want to keep kids jazzed about science,” said Kula, Ward Melville High School science and InSTAR chair. The department’s goal, she said, is to help students to be hands-on, active learners. “I’m happy to say that science is alive and well in Three Village,” Kula said, mentioning the district’s Regents scores, which

surpass the state’s pass and mastery rates. She added that while students are only required to take one physical and one life science for an Advanced Regents diploma, 60 to 65 percent of each graduating class exceeds the minimum requirements by taking both chemistry and physics. Ward Melville offers every AP science course available, as well as several science electives that include astronomy, consumer chemistry and forensics. Perhaps the best-known program at the high school is its three-year Independent Science Technology and Research (InSTAR) program. Its participants have received numerous honors in competitions such as The DuPont Challenge, Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision, Siemens and the Intel Science Talent Search. Opportunities for students to engage in science outside the classroom include the Robotics team at the high school and Science Olympiad and Science Bowl at all three schools. Students can also take part in beach cleanups and partnerships with Stony Brook University and the Brookhaven National Lab Open Space Stewardship program. Vorwald said that the district’s science educators are preparing for an update in science standards. He explained that New York is developing new standards, based on Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a framework for K-12 science education. New York state science teachers are providing feedback “to tweak and modify” the standards, he said, adding that the edits will be submitted to the Board of Regents for possible adoption this spring. Once the new standards are adopted, the department will develop a new curriculum. McManus, science chair at R.C. Murphy Junior High School, said additional goals are to bring coding to the junior high schools and to continue to bring more technology and upper-level BOE continued on page A9

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

TBR

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 continued 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 in-

media

creased 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.

HISTORY CLOSE AT HAND

Winter has bitter history in Three Village By Beverly C. Tyler

Our winter weather seems to have as much effect on us today as it did in the 19th century, even though we are wellprotected from the effects of the weather in our homes and in our cars as we travel from place to place. During the winter of 1800-1801, Dr. Samuel Thompson noted the changes in the weather as he ran the operation of his extensive farm in Setauket and cared for the sick. He wrote in his journal, “Thursday, Nov. 13, 1800. Wind [from the] west, cloudy and very thick air with smoke and so dark at nine or 10 o’clock as to light a candle to eat breakfast by - Some rain - but breaks away and the weather is cool.” Later in the month the weather changed, “Nov. 21, wind northeast (blowing) very hard. Begins to snow long before day continues to snow all day - very cold storm.” On Saturday, the northeast wind continued to blow and on Sunday he wrote that the snow fell all day. The life of the farmer and other residents in Setauket and Stony Brook continued to be busy through the winter months. There were no crops to tend, as in the summer, but the animals had to be taken care of and the weather seemed to make little difference in the routine. Heat for the family home in 1800 consisted of a wood fire in the fireplace. Large amounts of wood were cut and stacked each fall, but this usually had to be supplemented by trips into the woods to gather more firewood during the winter. Thompson’s house — the restored Thompson house on North Country Road in Setauket — has a great central chimney with four fireplaces that provided the only heat for the large saltbox-style farmhouse. The activity at the Thompson farm continued despite the weather. “Dec. 30 ... Cloudy - snows some weather cool - kill my cow and ten sheep. George Davis’ wife came here and bought eight pounds of flax. Mr. Green [Rev.

CHURCH Continued from page A1 munity with moving the dialogue forward to address racial issues and injustice across America. “The primary issue we’re talking about is change,” Leonard said. “It’s about how this change happens on a communitywide basis, and also on an individual basis.” North Shore native Leroy White lost his second cousin DePayne Middleton Doctor in the tragedy and said the outpouring of support from Three Village families was overwhelming in the days following the shooting. “What we saw was a community coming together so well that it was almost unbelievable,” White said in an interview in June. “The response was so overwhelming that we were

Zachariah Green, Setauket Presbyterian Church pastor] came here said Mrs. Akerly was better ... Snow this night.” It was a normal part of the farm routine for local residents to come to the Thompson farm to buy flax, to spin and weave into cloth, or to buy hay for their animals or meat and other farm produce. Thompson and his wife would often have visitors who would spend the night at the farm and leave the next day. “Dec. 31 ... Robbin [indentured farmhand] and Franklin [his oldest son, Benjamin Franklin] cut up the cow and the sheep. Sharper [a black slave farmhand who lived on the Thompson farm] salts them. Salla [Sarah] Smith works here at taloring (sic). Makes a coat and jacket for Killis [farmhand] and a pair of trowsers (sic) for Franklin. Miss Lidda Mount and Miss Sissa Mount come here for a visit, dined here and drank tea here. Mrs. Akerly remains much [sick] so I make her the third phial of antimonial solution.” The daily routine of life at the Thompson farm continued much the same through the winter. Friends were entertained at tea or at dinner, neighbors and relatives arrived to buy farm produce, and Thompson prescribed for the sick. Winter weather through the 19th century did not prevent local residents from maintaining their regular activities. In 1819, Henry Hudson was teaching school in Stony Brook in the “Upper School” located on Main Street south of the millpond. On Feb. 12, he wrote, “ South East wind, I tend school [about 40 students.] Clouds come up to snow at four this afternoon grows cold - storms hard. I spend the evening at Benah Petty’s with company of young people. Go to Nath. Smith’s to lodge - severe storm. Feb. 13. Snowstorm - cold. I tend school - continues to storm. At four ... I go to Joseph Hawkins’ and stay. Feb. 14. Clears off, snow about 10 inches deep - drifted very much. I go to Mr. Green’s meeting [Rev. Zachariah Green] - return to Nath. Smith’s then go to Charles Hallock’s.

taken aback by the number of people who showed up. It showed me that this is one of the better communities in America.” Since the shooting, Leonard said he has already seen strides made across the country to enhance the discussion about race in America. He cited the removal of the Confederate flag outside a state building in South Carolina back in July as a pivotal moment showing what could be achieved through common understanding. “That was a revolutionary moment,” he said. “I think no matter how people might have felt, the remembrance of the tragedy and also the great grace the people had in terms of forgiveness after the fact can begin to build bridges, even to people who feel they might oppose your stance on any particular matter.”

I return to Mount’s.” Henry boarded about three days with each family of his students while he taught

in Stony Brook. His travels during the week included going, usually on foot, from the Widow Mount’s — the Hawkins-Mount house in Stony Brook — to the Setauket Presbyterian Church. As a schoolteacher on a limited income, Henry did not have a horse and would often walk great distances. His home, until 1846 when he moved to East Setauket, was at the family’s farm in Long Pond of the Wading River area. After the quarter or half year was over, he walked back to his home, and during the following years, he taught school in South Setauket, Nassakeag, Moriches, and East Setauket often walking from home to school each week. In some years he would walk to Patchogue and back in the same day, or to Riverhead. Life in the wintertime was hard. The cold was a constant companion and the wood fireplaces could not provide the warmth that we consider to be a normal part of our lives now. Beverly Tyler is the Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the Three Village Historical Society.

Ward Melville High School’s 2015 yearbook staff celebrates its work.

Memory-makers capture awards Ward Melville High School’s awardwinning yearbook staff continues to earn praise and commendation for its talent and forward-thinking publication. The 2015 Invictus Yearbook has earned four gold circle awards from the Colum-

BOE

bia Scholastic Press Association. These awards are offered to recognize superior work by student-journalists working individually or as a team to create print or online media. In recent years, more than 15,000 entries are submitted to this annu-

“home” language, while 25 percent speak Chinese and 9 percent, Korean. Other “home” languages include Russian, Japanese, Gujarati, Lithuanian, Greek, Tagalog, French and Hebrew.

English as a New Language Perhaps less well known is the district’s English as a New Language (ENL) program, previously known as English as a Second Language. This program provides specialized instruction to English language learners at Nassakeag Elementary School, Gelinas and Ward Melville. The district differentiates instruction according to proficiency level. There are “stand-alone” classes that follow the research-based Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol model. This means students learn English and develop academic skills to prepare them for success in a nonENL classroom. Integrated classrooms offer grade-level instruction in English taught either by a teacher certified in English and ENL or taught with a co-teacher. As of December 2015, the district has a total of 55 ENL students. Forty-seven percent of the district’s ENL students speak Spanish as their

Board Policy In other news, the board voted to allow the use of district credit cards. District credit cards will be used mostly for maintenance projects, said Jeff Carlson, assistant superintendent for business services. He said the cards would be used for purchases from stores such as Lowes and Home Depot, so that workers wouldn’t have to travel for parts. The use of district credit cards represents a significant policy change. “At a different time in our history in Three Village, we specifically established a policy that forbade the use of credit cards because there had been abuses,” BOE head Bill Connors said. “We’re at a very different time. Plus we have the checks and balances in place now that we didn’t have back at a different time in our history.” Carlson’s office will review disbursements monthly. The district has an internal auditor and a claims auditor who will also review the records.

Elements of learning

Minnesauke Elementary School students in Patricia Woods’ sixth-grade class assumed the identity of something elemental during a recent science lesson. As part of their science curriculum, students researched one of the 118 elements on the periodic table. After conducting their research, students shared their newfound knowledge during a class celebration. Many students dressed as the element they selected and brought in props, including coins and thermometers, to enhance their presentations.

much like it did the first, with 3-pointers from O’Hea and Hudzik. Centereach countered when Kevin Callahan fouled from 3-point land. Despite thunderous calls from the visiting crowd, the senior swished all three attempts. “We haven’t made it in a while — it’s a different mind-set and it’s a big deal,” Callahan said. “It’s a big crowd and lot of people come out, so it’s a lot of pressure.” Centereach senior Justin Eck also nailed a 3-point field goal, to make it a 10-point game with two minutes left in the third. “We focused on this round just like we did with the in-season games,” Eck said. “We needed to focus on our game plan. … We focused on execution — we tried to stay loose and play our game.” Centereach junior Jon Agostino hit his second 3-pointer to make it a nine point game, and both teams traded points before the Cougars, on a defensive steal, converted the opportunity to draw within eight points with 4:03 left in regulation. “Tonight we fed off of our defensive energy,” Ward Melville head coach Alexander Piccirillo said. “We thrived on stops, or holding someone to just one shot or forcing a bad shot, and that translates to the offensive side of the ball.” Hudzik executed his fifth trifecta of

Centereach achieved something this season that hasn’t happened since 2010: they made it to the postseason. Not only did the boys’ basketball team make the playoffs, the No. 14 seed hosted No. 19 Ward Melville on its own home court. The Cougars were able to close within eight points midway through the final quarter, but that was the closest they would get, as the Patriots floored it in the final minutes to put the game away, 59-41. Ward Melville stretched its legs early, and edged ahead 12-4 after eight minutes of play. The Patriots’ defense was swarming, blocking several shots. While the Cougars struggled offensively, the Patriots found their 3-point range during the second quarter, with senior Mathew O’Hea netting one, and teammate Mathew Hudzik, a junior, swishing his second trey of the game, to put the team out front 22-13 at the halftime break. Ward Melville opened the second half

the evening to re-extend the Patriots’ lead, and with time running out, Centereach was forced to arrest the clock. The Cougars sent Hudzik to the line after a foul, and the junior went 6-for-6 from the charity stripe to put the game out of reach. “We looked at the film from our loss to Commack [10 days ago] and we learned from that,” said Hudzik, who scored 21 points on the evening. “We did our best to do everything right that we did wrong in that game.” According to Centereach head coach Ed Miller, having endured a long playoff drought, this season was a testament to the commitment of his Cougars senior leadership. “They came out and shot the ball well, and you can’t take anything away from them,” he said of Ward Melville. “They made it very difficult to play against them. Alex does a great job over there and they’re in the right spots.” Miller added that he was proud of his team, and admired their sense of urgency and the contribution each of them made this season. “They’ve set the stage; they laid the groundwork to get our program back to

where we want to be,” he said. “I know the effort that they put into the off season, so it was my seniors that I was most impressed with.” Ward Melville junior Noah Kepes said his team’s preparation for this game was the same as it was for the regular season, and will be for the rest of the postseason. “We tried to not get all in our heads, because it’s a playoff game,” he said. “We’ve been working on defensive slides every day in practice. Just the same thing we’ve been doing — it’s like any other game.” Piccirillo said after the win that his team received film and a scouting report and it was ready to take on its next challenger. “We’re going to get on the bus and go over there, we’re going to defend like crazy,” Piccirillo said. “We’re going to be ready for them, and I hope they’re ready for us.” Half Hollow Hill West was ready, as Kian Dalyrimple scored 27 points to lead his team. Ward Melville’s Kepes finished the game with a team-high 11 points, while senior Tim Specht and O’Hea added 10 points apiece. Sophomore Alex Sobel and Hudzik also tallied eight points apiece in the loss.

OPINION

ediToriAL

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.

New York State should carry the torch

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.

Parenting debate To The ediTor: “The Collapse of Parenting: how We hurt our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups” by dr. Leonard Sax has been published recently by Basic Books. The catchy main title caught my attention and seems to hit the nail on the head about parenting today. My parenting days are over, but i have found Sax’s book enlightening. Many of my peers — 70 years or older — gripe about the parenting practices of today, especially of the parenting of our kids who are now parents. Sax helps explain what we gripe and shrug our shoulders about. “What can you do?” we say. The book helps me understand my kids’ parenting styles. There

his incredible qualities, but it was so heartwarming to read all the letters and to hear all the comments about the hundreds of lives that dick touched. We have lived here since 1962 and our lives have been enriched by being involved in many areas of both the university and the community. We consider ourselves fortunate to have met so is no doubt that parenting has changed during my lifetime. “The Collapse of Parenting” discusses the culture of respect versus the culture of disrespect as well as the shift from parent-orientated culture to peer-orientated culture. There are also discussions on topics like conscientiousness, humility, integrity, service, self-esteem, selfconcept, self-control, work, chores, gratitude, contentment, discontent, appreciation, and other values and traits. The balance of activities, limits to social media, cellphones and screen time are all explained in their relationship to parenting. in his conclusion, Sax reviews the shift of our culture, medication of our children and the over-scheduling of our children’s lives and,

many wonderful folks and to have heard from them about their admiration and love of dick. We are sure his good works will live on and he will live in many of our hearts and memories. Again, a very warm thank you. The Solo family: Julie, david, Michael, Susan and Nomi Port Jefferson in turn, our own lives. does some of this strike a chord with your style of parenting? of course, each parent should ask what kind of role model he or she is as a person and as a parent. in his last chapter, Sax lists a number of things you have to or must do for the sake of your child and help create an alternative culture in your home. if you are a parent of young children, read this book and discuss and debate its contents with friends who are parents. Consider discussing some of the topics at the dinner table. hopefully you will find this book as interesting and enlightening as i have. There might even be a chance that it will help you “reboot” on how you parent. Fred drewes Mount Sinai

Einstein’s theory continues to make waves with new discovery

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

A

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

T

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.
