9/11 Responders remembered: A personal story BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Out of the twisted wreckage of two collapsed New York City skyscrapers, Mark Gajewski helped erect one of the most significant 9/11 artifacts: the steel Ground Zero cross. The symbol touched people beyond the many emergency responders who found it a source of comfort and divine inspiration. For Gajewski’s only daughter, Crystal, the 17-foot cross is one small part of her father’s legacy. As an operating engineer, he helped clear away the World Trade Center debris. He died 10 years later from a rare form of lung cancer at the age of 52. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that it isn’t an artifact or special memento that makes
a person a hero, but their innate intent to help others,” Crystal Gajewski said. “My father may not have received a medal and he will not appear in any textbooks, but to me and those that know him best, he was one the great unsung heroes.” Gajewski rushed to the scene four hours after the towers fell, his daughter said, and was one of the first people to assess the situation. “He worked six months straight without coming home at Ground Zero, nine months, total,” said Crystal Gajewski. At Ground Zero, Gajewski endured unthinkable trauma, both emotional and physical. He found human body parts in the rubble 9/11 RESPONDERS Continued on A5

9/11 RESPONDERS Continued from A3
at Ground Zero, his daughter said, including the hands, bound at the wrist, of a flight attendant. And when he came down with strange ailments and coughing, his daughter said that doctors initially were perplexed. Because of his untimely death, the 9/11 cleanup worker never saw his son Sean graduate law school and become an attorney for the U.S. Coast Guard. Never got to meet his first grandchild, Mia. Father Brian Jordan, from St. Francis Assisi church in New York City wants people to know that Mark Gajewski represents the thousands of union construction workers who completed the remarkable task of demolishing and removing the fallen building from the site. “You hear about the dedication and the sacrifice of the cops and police officers, but not the talented union construction workers: the operating engineers, the electricians, the welders, and others who performed an incredible task on time and under budget,” Jordan said. He also calls them unsung heroes. Mark Gajewski’s name and the names of more 1,200 other responders are engraved on a shiny, black granite wall in the 9/11 Responders Remembered Park on Smithtown Boulevard in Nesconset. This year, 206 more responders’ names were inscribed. Last year 163 names were added. So, the effects of 9/11 are still mounting. All of them, uniformed and nonuniformed have died of a 9/11-related illness. As the list grows, so does the crowd that attends the annual 9/11 Responders Remembered tribute. More than 500 people gathered on Sept. 14 for this year’s event. Nesconset resident John Feal, a 9/11 responder served as demolition supervisor for the cleanup and had part of his foot amputated after a steel beam fell on it. The tireless advocate built the park with the help of others. He has said that he has been to more than 180 funerals for responders and wants to ensure that all the people who fell ill and lost their lives as a consequence of responding to the disaster are remembered for their sacrifices. “No Responder Left Behind” is his motto. The Nesconset park, he said, is unique because it’s inclusive. The names of responders who died are not excluded because of where they lived or what job title they held, or whether or not they wore uniforms. So, as the tragedy continues to take its toll, Crystal Gajewski and her family and the many other volunteers remain dedicated to preserving the honor and dignity of her father and all the other people who ultimately sacrificed their lives as a result of cleaning up the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks. She serves as volunteer vice president of the 9/11 Responders Remembered Park with John Feal and has created a separate foundation Ski’s Open Heart in her father’s honor. Crystal said she hopes that her father’s story and the foundation she created for him inspires others to look within themselves and find time and the desire to help others.

Town Smithtown’s Guardians of Rescue saves dogs from Bahamas post-Hurricane Dorian BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM During the first week of September, the nation watched as Hurricane Dorian ravaged the Bahamas. Thousands of people have been left without homes, and many have also lost contact with their pet dogs. Some animals were lost in the storm, while other dogs may have been left behind as families attempted to reach safety. Animal organizations estimate that hundreds of dogs in the Bahamas are now in need of being brought to safety and provided with medical care and food. Guardians of Rescue, a Smithtown nonprofit that specializes in bringing together people and dogs in need, has stepped in to help. It’s bringing in the stranded dogs on chartered planes from the Bahamas to safe spots in Florida and New York. The animal rescue organization reports that it initially brought back its first 30 dogs Sept. 9. A second flight took off 24 hours later and more flights are scheduled in the days ahead, the group said, until all of the abandoned animals are in safe haven in the United States. They initially planned to eventually relocate 98 pets, but now have created a rescue network to save more animals. "We are no strangers to helping dogs in dire situations, this is exactly why our organization exists,” explained Robert Misseri, president of Guardians of Rescue. “We will do everything we can to help as many dogs as we are able to, but we can’t do it without the help of the public. This is going to be a very costly endeavor, so we can use all the financial assistance we can get.” The organization has started a website fundraiser for the cause. It’s goal is to raise $20,000 and has so far received close to $6,000 in donations. The organization is working with Chella Phillips, a Nassau, Bahamas, resident, who manages The Voiceless Dogs of Nassau. She took in nearly 100 stray dogs when the storm was approaching to provide them with a safe place. Her story went viral in the news and on social media. The Smithtown organization has also teamed up with two other nonprofits for the mission, Animal Aid USA, based in New Jersey, and Animal Wellness Foundation in Los Angeles to help prepare and load the dogs for a flight to Florida. The relationship has allowed for transportation of the dogs to a safe place and has enabled the people in the Bahamas to take in more abandoned dogs. The networks’s overarching goal is to take in displaced pets and either return them to their owners or place unclaimed pets up for adoption, according to Lorenzo
Borghese, founder and president of Animal Aid. Animals shipped to the U.S. are fed and receive a health examination and undergo a two-week quarantine until they find the animals permanent homes. “We are on a mission to help these animals, and we hope that the community will help support the mission,” said Misseri. “There are many dogs in need of food, medicine, shelter and permanent loving homes. Together, we can make a wonderful difference.” Misseri added that animals that have already made the trip to America are still quarantined and not yet ready for adoption. People interested in adopting a pet should monitor the guardian website at www. guardiansofrescue.org. Misseri expects adoption information should be available in the days and weeks ahead. To donate to the Bahamas cause visit: https://guardiansofrescue.networkforgood. com/projects/80292. Guardians of Rescue provides assistance to animals out on the streets. They are located in the Village of the Branch and also have a chapter in Miami, but they help animals in many places beyond their chapter locations. Their members are also involved with Paws of War, which helps train service dogs for veterans suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder.

Police confiscate high-powered rifles in drug bust
Alleged heroin dealer indicted Local residents charged in drug bust
Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D) and the Suffolk County Police Department announced Sept. 10 the indictment of a Sayville man in connection with an alleged operation to assemble “ghost guns,” which are untraceable by law enforcement, and the illegal possession of other weapons including machine guns, loaded handguns, high-capacity magazines and other ammunition and more than 800 bags of heroin. St. James resident, Leon Jantzer, was among three people indicted in the case. “This was a dangerous drug dealer assembling ghost weapons in a hotel room right here in Suffolk County,” Sini said. “Had it not been for the police officers’ vigilance, their keen investigative skills, and their bravery in entering that hotel room, there’s no doubt in my mind that these weapons would still be on the streets of Suffolk County.” Christopher Swanson, 42, is charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance

in the third degree, a B felony; two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, a C felony; 10 counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a D felony; and attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, an E felony. “I would like to commend the efforts of the 5th Precinct police officers who, while on routine patrol, stopped to investigate a vehicle parked in a handicap parking spot without a permit, which ultimately led to the discovery of a cache of untraceable guns that are extremely dangerous and put everyone’s lives at risk,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said. “We are making great strides working together with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office to take guns and drugs off of our streets and we look forward to our continued partnership leading to more successes.” At approximately 11:35 p.m. on Aug. 13, a police officer from the 5th precinct was on routine patrol when he observed a vehicle parked in a handicap parking spot without a permit at the Clarion Hotel, located at 3845 Veterans Memorial Highway in Ronkonkoma. The officer determined that the vehicle was a rental car that had been reported stolen after it was not returned to the rental company by Marcella Brako, 39, of Sayville. Further investigation of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of mail addressed to Swanson. Fifth Precinct police officers determined that Swanson
was staying in a room at the hotel and, after identifying themselves as police, were permitted to enter the room by Swanson. Swanson and Brako were inside the hotel room along with a third individual, Leon Jantzer, 42, of St. James. Upon entering the room, police observed an assault rifle, two handguns, assorted highcapacity magazines and other ammunition and assorted gun parts, according to the DA’s report. One of the handguns was fully automatic, also known as a machine gun. Police also allegedly observed packaging materials consistent with drug sales, including glassine envelopes. A subsequent search warrant was obtained and resulted in the recovery of an additional quantity of
ammunition, drug paraphernalia and more than 800 bags of heroin. The firearms recovered had allegedly been purchased in parts and assembled by Swanson, resulting in their not being registered and not having serial numbers, otherwise known as ghost guns. “It cannot be overstated how dangerous these ghost guns are, particularly when in the possession of a criminal,” Sini said. “These are homemade weapons built from parts purchased over the internet that are not registered with law enforcement and cannot be traced. They are designed to evade detection by law enforcement and are essentially made to be used in the commission of crimes.” Swanson was arraigned on the indictment by Suffolk County Supreme Court Justice William J. Condon. Bail was set at $250,000 cash or $500,000 bond. He is due back in court Oct. 8. Brako was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substancee in the third degree, B felony, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in the third degree, an A misdemeanor. Jantzer was found in possession of a quantity of heroin and was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a misdemeanor. Jantzer’s attorney Brooke Janssen Breen has no comment about her client and the case and would confirm no details. If convicted of the top count, Swanson faces a maximum sentence of up to 15 years in prison. — Compiled by Donna Deedy

SBU professor indicted for allegedly stealing thousands from research funds BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM An associate professor from Stony Brook University, who has been placed on administrative leave, is pleading not guilty to charges that he allegedly stole thousands from funds that were allocated for cancer research. The United States Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of New York, announced Sept. 12 that Geoffrey Girnun, an associate professor at Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, had been arrested and indicted for stealing more than $200,000 in cancer research funds, allegedly using the stolen funds in part to pay his mortgage. One of Girnun’s attorneys, Steven Metcalf II of Metcalf & Metcalf P.C. in Manhattan, said in an email statement that he is asking that the public does not rush to judgment. “Mr. Girnun’s defense team, including attorney Steven Siegel and my firm, are still putting all the pieces together,” Metcalf wrote. “We will continue to challenge the validity of these charges and whether the facts are fundamentally flawed. Once all the smoke clears there will be a completely different picture of Mr. Girnun, who is a family man,
a loving husband and a Harvard-educated professional entirely devoted to his family and work.” SBU officials are shocked over the alleged actions. “The university is outraged and appalled by the allegations that led to the arrest of Geoffrey Girnun today,” an official statement from the university read. “This alleged behavior is absolutely contrary to the ethical and professional standards expected of our faculty. The university has fully cooperated with the investigation and at this time is considered by the FBI as a victim in this matter.” The professor was charged in a sevencount indictment with theft of state and federal government funds, wire fraud and money laundering. He allegedly submitted fraudulent invoices for research equipment to SBU from sham companies he created to conceal his theft of funds from cancer-related research grants issued by the National Institutes of Health and SBU. “Professor Girnun’s alleged theft of federal and state grant funds earmarked for cancer research can be explained in two words: pure greed,” said U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue in a statement. “He will now be held to account in a federal courtroom.”

Scott Lampert, special-agent-in-charge from the U.S. inspector general’s office,was in attendance when the charges were announced. “Taxpayers fund medical research with the hope that promising scientific breakthroughs will result in much-needed treatments and cures for patients,” Lampert said. “Because the money for medical research is limited and the need for scientific advances is great, it’s incredibly important to clamp down on those who would
Town
steal such grant money for personal gain.” If convicted, Girnun faces up to 20 years imprisonment. Girnun was featured in a March 25, 2015, TBR News Media article. At the time, the researcher was exploring the role of different proteins that either promote or prevent various cancers. The one particular protein in the liver cell he was studying is one that classically regulates the cell cycle, according to the article. Girnun discovered that the protein promotes how the liver produces sugar, in the form of glucose, to feed organs such as the brain under normal conditions. In diabetic mice, the protein goes back to its classic role as a cell cycle regulator. Girnun made the move to SBU from the University of Maryland in 2013 and said at the time he was inspired by the opportunity to create something larger. “I want to build a program in cancer metabolism,” he said. “I want to build something beyond my own lab.” At the time of the 2015 article, Girnun was temporarily commuting from Maryland. The statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office now lists him as a resident of Woodmere. Girnun is scheduled to return to court Oct.4 after being released on $250,000 bond.

Senior center recognizes more than 100 volunteers for service On Aug. 28, the Town of Smithtown Senior Citizens Department honored over 100 volunteers for their hard work and service to the Smithtown Seniors Center. Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo (R) and Senior Citizens Department employees presented each volunteer with a certificate of appreciation and thanks. “Volunteers not only provide an invaluable service, but also their very presence is a testimonial to the dignity and worth of the older adults we serve. Their willingness to help their senior neighbors in need is demonstrated throughout the year,” Inzerillo said. “Beyond the physical work they accomplish, is the connection and impact they make on a personal level in the relationships that are formed with our seniors. We can’t thank them enough for the work they do and for the joy, friendships and willing hearts that they bring.” The Senior Citizens Department volunteers have generously reached out to the Smithtown community in many ways:
delivering meals, donating quilts and needlework projects to veterans, hospitals, nursing homes and homeless shelters, as well as activities at the center such as Bingo, Garden Club, Video Exercise and operating the boutique. The center volunteers support the department via fundraisers throughout the year and through the annual Tender Years Treasury. “Our first volunteer luncheon consisted of approximately 12 volunteers. This year’s luncheon included over 100 volunteers,” Laura Grief, program director. “I am extremely proud, and so thankful for the generosity of these amazing people who give freely of their time and generously from their hearts.” Several volunteers have devoted an extensive length of service to the senior center, with some serving as volunteers for more than 25 years.

Newfield 29 Smithtown East 23
Newfield wins in double overtime, 29-23 BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Newfield’s offense struggled early on being held scoreless in the first half in its Division II season opener against visiting Smithtown East Sept. 13. The Wolverines were able to gain traction in the second half, and it was wide receiver Hunter Hughes’ reception from quarterback Maxwell Martin on short yardage to tie the game on the final play of regulation. After a scoreless first overtime period Martin found Hughes again from 5 yards out when the senior made the catch and again found the end zone for the game winner. Martin threw for 106 yards on 15 attempts and Eric
Dougherty rushed for 46 yards on 7 carries. The foot of Smithtown East senior Anthony Weidtman had field goals 45, 43 and 42 yards along with 2 points after scores for 11 points. The Wolverines will look to build on their momentum when they hit the road Sept. 21 against Bellport. Game time is 2 p.m. Smithtown East is also back in action Sept. 21 when they travel to Deer Park for a 1:30 start. Pictured from above clockwise, Smithtown East senior Anthony Weidtman makes the reception in the Bull’s season opener;Weidtman splits the uprights from 45 yards to make a field goal; quarterback Kevin Melore hands off to senior running back Dean Shaffer; Weidtman completes another reception. — Photos by Bill Landon

Opinion
Editorial
Slight against science When the National Institutes of Health funds scientific research, the government is investing in hope. The people with the purse strings believe the scientists have the potential for progress, whether from a fundamental discovery or a breakthrough translational finding. Work in these labs may save and extend the lives of our fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers. On Sept. 12, a cancer scientist at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University was charged with seven counts of stealing state and federal funds, wire fraud and money laundering when he allegedly funneled more than $200,000 of his research money into his own pockets, in part to pay his mortgage. Taxpayers are a victim in this alleged fraud. Fellow scientists, who might have otherwise received the funds, are also greatly harmed, along with patients awaiting medical help and the support systems for all those patients. In other words, most of us — in one way or another — have been pickpocketed. So, what’s supposed to happen now? If Geoffrey Girnun is guilty — due process will determine that and he has pleaded not guilty — he will face prison time, fines and other punishments. Girnun allegedly was self-dealing his grant money into shell companies. Perhaps the system where potential conflicts of interest exist needs a closer look, both from funding agencies and from the university. It’s also crucial that SBU and the NIH pay especially close attention to this criminal case. They need to know all the details of this alleged fraud so they can monitor other scientists and make sure they close any gaps in the funding process. We, the taxpayers, need to be confident that the money the government invests goes toward the hunt for scientific discovery. What shouldn’t happen? The NIH shouldn’t turn off the tap for scientists at SBU or elsewhere, or create unrealistic hurdles, to receive funding or reimbursement. As it is, many researchers spend considerable time applying for funds and, once they receive them, justifying every penny. Slowing that process down would make them less productive, hurting their research and cutting back on their benefits to the whole of humanity. Scientific studies seek to understand cause and effect — actions and reactions. When doctors treat cancer patients, they try to balance between the need to eradicate cells with cancerous programming and the potential danger of collateral cellular damage to avoid wiping out healthy and productive cells. The treatment for this alleged fraud should do the same, trying to prevent other such corruption without shutting down valuable science. To read the article “SBU professor indicted for allegedly stealing thousands from research funds,” please see page A8.

Letters to the Editor
Protecting Long Island water quality Recently, I held an environmentally focused town hall in my district as an opportunity to hear what my constituents are concerned about. What emerged from the comments was a demand for clean and safe drinking water in Long Island. People expressed their fear of being faced with a water crisis caused by pollution. This past legislative session, we codified the constitutional right of all New Yorkers to clean air and water, and endowed the state with the duty to protect its citizens and New York’s natural resources. For Long Islanders, our most important and precious resource is our water, a necessity we just cannot live without. For 2.8 million Long Islanders, the sole source for clean, fresh drinking water is through groundwater accessed
from aquifers. Any potential contamination must be addressed swiftly and without hesitation. This is why the rise of emerging contaminants is so alarming for Long Islanders. Emerging contaminants such as 1,4-dioxane and perfluoroalkyls (PFAS) have been classified as contaminants by the EPA and identified as hazardous. However, their actual consequences have not yet been established because they do not break down easily and persist in water for a long time. Though the EPA has not established a maximum contamination level (MCL), New York State is working on implementing an MCL for 1,4-dioxane as 1 part per billion and 10 parts per trillion for PFAS. In light of federal inaction, it is the state’s obligation to take steps to protect its residents.
That’s why I wrote a law — recently passed by the Legislature — to empower public water authorities to hold polluters accountable for the costs of removing these contaminants from our water. This law ensures that our residents will have future recourse against the harmful, long-term effects as they emerge. The State of New York is also providing historic funding for water districts to invest in infrastructure to remove these contaminants from the water. These measures go far in commencing initiatives that will protect and conserve our water. However, there is still so much work to be done in the fight for clean water. This is not just a fight of the present, but for our future. NY State Sen. Jim Gaughran Northport
In support of starting school later “Three Village school district parents say it’s time for a new start” was a fair and well-balanced article in the Sept. 12 The Village Times Herald, and I would like to thank TBR News Media for coverage of this topic. It is particularly helpful that Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich acknowledged the validity of the research on the effects of student sleep deprivation that has motivated this call for change. There are, however, some quotes attributed to the superintendent that could be interpreted as suggesting that the reform group is not considering the interests of students for whom sport is a primary concern or the interests of elementary students. First, many of the parents supporting the reform efforts have children in elementary school. These students have the most to gain from a change in secondary school start times since they would spend more years in a reformed system. Similarly, many parents supporting reform have children who
are active in multiple sports. Research shows that later start times enhance physical performance as well as academic performance, reducing injury rates and improving outcomes. There is absolutely no inherent conflict between either of these groups and the efforts to reform school start times. School districts across the nation have already resolved these issues in a manner that was satisfactory for all stakeholders. There were some specific statements by the superintendent that are incorrect or problematic. In particular, no one is suggesting that elementary schools should finish at 1:30 pm. Also, there is no reason why a later start time should affect instructional time at the high school, which is the prerogative of the officials who create the class schedule. The statement that the district is spending significant funds on clinical support suggests that we should be directly addressing sleep deprivation, which is the underlying cause of a significant fraction of student health problems. Finally, the
large physical size of the school district is a strong argument for later start times because long travel times in the buses considerably exacerbate the already too early school start times. What is not mentioned in the article is that Start School Later is a national movement (www. startschoollater.net). Voluntary changes are occurring in school districts across the country, resulting in better academic performance, better sports performance, less time lost to illness and absenteeism, and in many cases less wasted resources for the school district. We have a choice: Either let our children fall behind or become leaders in the Long Island community. I hope — along with some 1,400 signers of the Change.org petition, Start School Later in the Three Village Central School District — that our school district will embrace a leadership role, rather than tactics of delay. David McKinnon Setauket

Our first trip to the animal hospital with our chocolate eating dog
D
ogs are incredibly stupid. OK, now that I’ve got your attention, I realize that not all dogs lack intelligence. Lassie and Balto both saved the day. I suspect many dogs, like mine who is now 1 year old, are only as smart as their training. And they need something almost as often as a young child. What’s the matter, boy? You need to D. None go out? Why are of the above you barking, budBY DANIEL DUNAIEF dy? Do you see a squirrel? Is the neighbor out watering the grass again? That’s OK, you don’t
need to bark at him every time he takes out the hose. Recently, my wife made chocolate chip cookies. She says that we make them together, but my only job is to put them in the oven, wait for them to rise a bit, make sure the edges are cooked and then allow them to finish baking while they cool on the hot tray. She’s the master chef and I am the cookie flash fryer. Anyway, the house was starting to develop that wonderful baked goods smell. My wife, son and I were eagerly awaiting the moment when I could bring the hot plate to the master bed, where we could make “mmm” noises at each other as we talked about the day and compared this batch to the ones we had a few months ago, as if we were reviewers on a cooking show. The young dog has gotten used to the routine. He stands in the kitchen with his ears pitched forward, waiting for his best friend gravity to deliver something to him on the floor,
which is, generally, his domain. He follows us back and forth to get the ingredients from the pantry and then to bring those ingredients back. At 85 pounds, he is a large dog and his eye level has gotten closer to the mixer and the ingredients. We try to push everything to the middle of the island in the kitchen. After doling out the hot cookies onto a plate into the shape of an edible pyramid, I left the room for a moment. When I returned, I shouted in astonishment. The dog had his front legs on the high counter and was reaching his long neck, tongue and head as far as he could. He had devoured half the plate. After admonishing him for eating food that wasn’t his and that was dangerous, I locked him in a room without carpets and called the vet, who asked if I could give an exact number of chips he ate. Of course I couldn’t, which meant I had to bring him in, where the vet would empty the chocolate the dog had stolen.
My wife joined me for our evening adventure. After a few moments, the vet brought our surprisingly happy dog to us in a waiting room and told us he’d also eaten some plastic and a bottle cap. She allayed my embarrassment by telling me that her colleague’s dog — she’s a vet, remember — has had five operations because of the nonfood he’s swallowed that has blocked his system. Her colleague’s dog now wears a satellite dish around his head. While the reception is terrible, he doesn’t need emergency procedures anymore. For all the frustration, the cleaning, the shedding, the wet dog smell, our dog is more than happy to have me, my family member, or the neighbor on the left with the garden hose or on the right with a howling dog, run hands through his wonderfully soft fur. He may not be the smartest or easiest dog on the block, but he is ours and we do get some perks here and there, in between rescuing half chewed flipflops and slippers.
History, with its anniversaries, is the source of endless tales
A
nniversaries sometimes bring out interesting tidbits of history. One such anniversary involves events that happened 500 years ago. In September 1519, Hernán Cortés met the ruler Montezuma II in what was the Aztec capital city of Tenochtitlán that is now Mexico City. Records tell us that Cortés was greeted cordially, in part because his arrival happened to coincide with Aztec expectations of a god returning right at that time. To the Aztecs, the Spanish — 500 strong, with their pale skins, guns, canons and horses — must indeed have seemed godlike. The indigenous Between people had never you and me before seen horses, nor had they BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF any familiarity
with gunpowder. Montezuma sent out envoys to meet the newcomers and welcome them to the city. The Spanish conquistadors, for their part, had different intentions, as we know from elementary school history. For them it was the Age of Exploration. Christopher Columbus had shown the way in 1492, and young Cortés, bored studying law in Salamanca, western Spain, was eager to follow in those footsteps. So who was Hernán Cortés? He was born into a noble but not wealthy family in 1485 and was smart and ambitious. The original intention of the explorers was to find a passage to the Far East, from which they could bring back nutmeg, cloves, pepper and cinnamon, the spices so desired by Europeans. But Cortés wanted to explore the New World to seize more land for Spain and ultimately convert the natives in the Americas to Catholicism even as he plundered their gold, gems and made himself rich. The landscape in the 16th century was dramatically changing, with Afro-Eurasian trade connecting a global economy. Opportunity existed for acquiring great wealth. In 1504, Cortés set sail for Hispaniola —

now Haiti and the Dominican Republic — where he became a notary and farmer. In 1511, he joined Diego Velásquez on an expedition to conquer Cuba, where he eventually became the equivalent of mayor of Santiago. Then he persuaded Velásquez to enable a voyage to Mexico, and despite an order at the last minute canceling the trip, he set sail with 11 ships, 500 men and 16 horses, and landed in the Yucatán Peninsula, on the east coast of Mexico, in 1519. He was, by all accounts, astounded by the gruesome rituals and human sacrifices he saw there, and he replaced pagan idols with crosses and figures of the Virgin Mary. Like so many of the other conquistadors, he regarded the natives as inferior culturally, technologically and religiously. When he encountered resistance in a place called Tabasco, he overpowered the opposition and was given, among other prizes, 20 women slaves. One was La Malinche, who became an important figure in his life and in his eventual success in conquering Montezuma, for she was able to learn languages and translated Mayan and Aztec for him after she learned Spanish. She also bore him a son, one of the

first children of mixed heritage. However, when eventually his wife joined him in Mexico from Spain, Cortés appears not to have acknowledged either his mistress or son. The rest, as we know, is history. Cortés went on to conquer the Aztecs, with the help both of some of the dissident tribes the Aztecs ruled and smallpox, against which the natives had no immunity. An estimated 3 million indigenous people fell victim to the disease. Cortés sacked the sophisticated capital city and began rebuilding Mexico City on its ruins. Although he was eventually appointed governor of New Spain, he was removed from power by Spanish King Charles I in 1526. Cortés went on to discover Baja, California, in the 1530s. His first wife had died in 1522 and he remarried, fathering several children along the way. Ultimately he returned to Spain, where he died in 1547 in his early 60s, frustrated and embittered that he had not received the recognition and rewards he felt he was owed. Another anniversary this week, the 80th, is of when Germany marched into Poland and launched the Second World War. But that is another tale.
