Schaffer said substance abuse has increased

Steven Macchio said purpose is important for everyone.“What we do with our foundation, with our Put Recovery to Work program, is we want to create purpose,” Macchio said. “We want to bridge the gap from rehabilitation to getting back out into the world and starting with your life again.”

“We saw such a dramatic increase in people who are already suffering from addiction issues, but others who acquired them as a result of what went on,” he said. “Ed was one of the first supervisors to say we’ve got to do something. He’s a great partner in a number of things and, most importantly, in this initiative which is near and dear to my heart”

“These opportunities allow for folks who are in need to find gainful employment, build their self-esteem and continue to engage in purposeful activity once again,” he said.

Elected officials from Smithtown and Babylon gathered at the Horizons Counseling and Education Center on Main Street Sept. 8 to give people who have battled addictions successfully a second chance.

The money donated on Sept. 8 will go toward the nonprofit’s Put Recovery to Work scholarship program, which provides recovery addicts employment opportunities. The Town of Babylon has already committed space at the Beacon Family Wellness Center in North Babylon to the program. A second location for the center, to be built in Amityville, will include the foundation’s job placement program.

for those who are going through the same issues that he was going through,” Schaffer said.

Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) announced the town was donating $70,000 to the Gino Macchio Foundation from Smithtown’s American Rescue Plan Act funds. At the gathering, Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer (D) said his town likewise was donating $49,500 from ARPA funds.

Gino Macchio, who had recovered from a prescription opioid addiction, was 25 when he died. Before his death, he was committed to helping the oyster industry obtain sustainability and cleaning up the Great South Bay. His parents are on the board of the foundation.

“We are here this morning to show solidarity to encourage surrounding communities throughout the state to do the same thing that we’re doing this morning,” Wehrheim said.

The supervisors hope that other municipalities will follow suit.

Deborah and Steven Macchio, who lost their son Gino due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash in 2018, were on hand for the announcement. The foundation’s executive director Kenneth Daly also attended with the Macchios.

Smithtown joins forces with Babylon to help those in recovery

The Babylon supervisor has known the Macchios for nearly 40 years and knew Gino from when he was born. He said he remembered Gino getting back on his feet after struggling with addiction.“Little did he know that one of the biggest things he was going to be doing was having this foundation created and providing opportunities

Joe Bieniewicz, director of drug and alcohol counseling services at Horizons, said the program’s work placement initiative goes beyond finding a job for a recovering addict.

He thanked Schaffer for helping to remove the stigma associated with recovery “and for being the first to take action to foster and encourage efforts to promote recovery-friendly workplaces at a local level.”

The towns of Smithtown and Babylon presented a total of $119,500 to the Gino Macchio Foundation, above. Below, Gino Macchio’s father Steven, below at podium, thanks the elected officials who made it possible. Photo above from Town of Smithtown; photo below by Rita J. Egan

during the pandemic.

“This money will go toward giving employment opportunities to individuals recovering at our local businesses,” Wehrheim said. “ARPA funds were originally intended to go to local municipalities for the purpose of getting communities back on their feet.”

As Jagger indicated, the queen was a constant, whether for the annual Christmas televised message that highlighted her strong Christian faith, the State Opening of Parliament, Trooping the Colour, the Royal Ascot and Epsom Derby horserace meetings, or various other occasions.

I am a member of the knighted Mick JaggerElton John-Paul McCartney generation (where did I go wrong?). It was Jagger who summarized our thoughts when he tweeted, “For my whole life Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, has always been there.” And now she isn’t. The second Elizabethan era is over.

The coronation did not take place until June 2, 1953, but what a glorious affair it was with celebrations in every city, town and village. Some 20 million viewers were able to watch the glittering, expensive ceremony from Westminster Abbey live on television, with many households — including ours — buying their first TVs, in

coming years with trembling socks.”

Thank you Queen Elizabeth II — and God save the king. The state funeral, combining solemnity with pageantry, will be held Monday, Sept. 19, at Westminster Abbey, London, at 11 a.m. (6 a.m. EST).

It became clear the queen’s loss was being felt far beyond the United Kingdom as tributes poured in from every corner of the globe, signaling the enormous impact of a 70-year reign during which she performed her often centuries-old duties with wisdom, dignity, gentle good humor and an essential mystique.

The queen’s death Sept. 8 in Balmoral, Scotland, has been covered extensively by the media. Briefly, she was born in Mayfair, London, on April 21, 1926; married Philip, Duke of Edinburgh — her pillar of strength — on Nov. 20, 1947; became queen of the U.K. and other Commonwealth realms on Feb. 6, 1952, also head of the Church of England; was a working mother with four children including Charles; and owned a string of corgi dogs and racehorses through the years.

It was like a “JFK” or “9/11” rememberwhere-you-were moment when the news broke Thursday, just after 1:30 p.m. EST: “Queen Elizabeth II has died.” For this Brit expat, it was a big shock even though she was 96 years old. Only two days before, she had held the “kissing the hands” ceremony with new prime minister, Liz Truss (C).

It is not widely appreciated that Charles founded the Prince’s Trust. For a while I was a trust business counselor in Ashford, Kent, and can attest to the value of the scheme for young entrepreneurs. Another factoid is that he has been patron of The Goon Show Preservation Society. The website noted, in the spirit of the groundbreaking 1950s comedy show, that “we would like to thank Prince Charles for agreeing to be our patron and look forward to the

What of King Charles III, who represents continuity and has made a promising start to his reign. An often unfairly misunderstood man, he has been ahead of his time on environmental matters, wildlife preservation and climate change. His views on architecture were more controversial if personal. On a different level, his image was severely dented by the disastrous marriage to Diana, with whom he had William — now heir to the throne as Prince of Wales — and current-U.S. resident Harry. Charles married longtime flame Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005 and she is now queen consort. Time has gradually healed the British public’s disdain toward them both.

Britain now has a novice king and a novice prime minister, both unelected by the people at large. There are difficult days ahead for a country badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic, the self-induced Brexit debacle, inflation currently running at 10% with soaring energy costs due to the Russia-Ukraine war, rumblings on the Scottish independence front, possible Irish trade confrontation, threatened departures from the Commonwealth and, indeed, concern for the future direction of the monarchy itself.

The new King Charles III, her son aged 73, caught the moment when he said in a statement, “I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”

Personal reflections? My first big memory was in relation to the death of Elizabeth’s father, King George VI, in 1952 while she was on a trip to Kenya, East Africa. I was in Mrs. Vidler’s class at Polegate Primary School, East Sussex, and you could hear the proverbial pin drop when we were told “the king is dead.” A dark February Wednesday morning became even darker. In our childhood grief, we had no idea nor cared that the queen’s first prime minister was Winston Churchill. She was only 25 when ascending the throne.

black and white.

I saw her in person twice, both during my management spells at Midland Bank, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, in the 1970s and ‘80s. The first occasion was when she visited the neighboring headquarters of the Royal Commonwealth Society for the Blind. Imagine my surprise when I was walking to my car after work and, with nobody else around, she passed by me in the royal vehicle with no motorcade or security guards in sight. I swear she gave a little regal wave. The next time was when she presented prizes at the South of England Show in Ardingly, where the bank’s meet-and-greet pavilion gave us a ringside view. There was a majestic aura that seeped from her as she beguiled everybody at the agricultural showground — as she did elsewhere in a long lifetime of public service.

Such basic facts obscure the sweeping social and economic changes she saw in her reign, without revolution or revolt, from postwar austerity and the Swingin’ ’60s through to postmodern Britain, even as the sun set on the old British Empire. Soon the currency notes, coins and postage stamps bearing her likeness will be phased out and replaced.

Goodbye Queen Elizabeth II, arise King Charles III

gang violence when he said, “A lot of it is being sparked by social media.”

In addition to gang violence, social media has become the superhighway for drug sales which have led to an astronomical increase in opioid overdose deaths. And currently, Suffolk County is in the midst of a data breach that has closed down all county computer networking.Cybermedia titans, including the billionaire owners of Google, YouTube, Waze, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, need to be held accountable when it comes to protecting the public. Consumers may seem like grains of sand in their datamining operations, but there needs to be limits on how much information a company can mine. California, Maine and the European Union have instituted restrictions on data mining, including opting in when asked for a person’s personal data to be sold to a third party instead of automatically having one’s personal information be taken. It’s time New York State does the same.

Search engines, data analytics and effective profiles are just a few terms social media companies use when collecting our personal data for targeted advertisements. The days of newspaper advertisements, TV commercials and door-to-door sales are fading. The new form of marketing, used by social media platforms to mine our data, is putting our personal information at risk of identity theft and other forms of cybercrime.Withan unrestrained focus on accumulating our information including our name, address, phone number, email address, age, birthday, occupation, where you shop, etc., media platforms continue to mine our data to sell to third party companies that influence our day-to-day decisions on the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the car we buy and more.

As we transition to this cyber form of marketing, the question needs to be asked: “Who is protecting our personal information?”Shouldwe be concerned that Apple admitted to listening in on conversations, which they say was due to accidental triggers mainly on Apple pods and watches; or the increase in impulse buying due to analytic target marketing; or the issue of our information ending up on the dark web due to the proliferation of data mining; or the cyber scams targeting senior citizens; or perhaps the recent call from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores, due to security concerns with China and the recent discovery that the app tracks every keystroke made by its users including passwords and credit card numbers? The problem is that not enough is being done to protect our personal data. Social media platforms need to be more accountable in protecting our privacy, especially when it comes to cybercrime targeting our children.

Local businesses and restaurants need your support more than ever. Whether you visit stores, get delivery or shop online, keep your spending local and keep your community healthy.

In a recent letter to state Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), I expressed my concerns with the issue of data privacy and social media platforms. As we have experienced with the opioid epidemic crisis, if big corporations and government don’t work together to protect consumers, it can have a devastating effect.

My daughter recently had her Instagram account hacked. It took over a month to resolve the issue. In that time the hackers stole her personal information and used it to sell cryptocurrency. Many social media users are being extorted by hackers to pay ransom money to get their accounts back.

Included as one of 146 women in the 2013 publication of “Remarkable Women in New York State History,” Louise earned her place with community service and contributions as a historian, preservationist and volunteer. This accolade was bestowed for superior accomplishments while serving in various capacities with organizations dedicated to preservation of local villages, hamlet, township, county and Long Island history.

As director of the Smithtown Historical Society from 1980 to 2000, Louise worked tirelessly to preserve and conserve the township’s historic colonial artifacts, buildings and properties. Through skillfully written grant applications, lobbying and fundraising, Louise was instrumental in establishing the Smithtown Route 25 downtown historic corridor. She oversaw the maintenance and restoration of the eight buildings and properties to include the Caleb Smith House, the Franklin Arthur Farm, the Judge Lawrence Smith homestead, the Epenetus Smith Tavern and the Brush Barn. Louise brought these historic buildings and properties to life with school education programs, Boy Scout Eagle projects, colonial craft demonstrations and numerous public gatherings and events.

long-standing member and president of the North Shore Garden Club, Louise was instrumental in guiding and refocusing the club’s regular activities into evermore relevant environmental concerns and sustainable horticultural practices. In full retirement, Louise volunteered in the archives department at Smithtown Town Hall and assisted in establishing and volunteering at the Jefferson’s Ferry Country Store, which supported the convenience needs of fellow residents. Louise’s transcendent gifts included gardening, crewel embroidery, needle point, culinary creations and gracious hosting. A voracious reader, Louise would swiftly and masterfully complete The New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle, in ink.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Smithtown Historical Society, 239 E Main St. Smithtown, NY 11787 or the Long Island Museum, 1200 Route 25A, Stony Brook, NY 11790.

Bulls overpower Wolverines

Fresh off their season opening road win against Copiague, the Newﬁeld Wolverines hosted Smithtown East on Sept. 7 in their home opener where they struggled against the Bulls potent offense, trailing by two after three quarters of play. Smithtown East junior Lucy Tomasic’s shot found its mark at the 3 minutes, 24 seconds mark of the second quarter for the Bulls ﬁrst goal of the game. Teammate Shannon Pettit off an assist from Katie Cummings rocked the box midway through the third quarter for the insurance goal

in the 2-0 win in Division 1 play. East took on Copiaque Sept. 13 and won, 7-1. Newﬁeld visited Half Hollow Hills on the same day and returned home as winners, 5-0.

Northport opened up with a big lead on Sept. 9. Smithtown West battled back but fell short,The34-30.Smithtown West football team simply would not allow itself to be removed from its opening game against the Northport Tigers on Friday night, as they battled back from multiple double-digit deﬁcits against the heavily favored visitors.

BY STEVEN ZAITZ DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

However, the Bulls fell one bullet short, and Northport’s star quarterback, Owen Johansen, put the game away with a long run that gave the Tigers a ﬁrst down in the ﬁnal minute and allowed them to escape Smithtown with a 34-30 win.

So, then what does it mean to me to be British?Insadness, some random thoughts follow: “Keep calm and carry on,” stiff upper lip, queuing peacefully, moaning about the rules (usually created by the French pre-Brexit) but obeying them to the letter (unlike the French), driving on the left, the National Trust and its stately home treasures from the past, Twickenham, Wembley, Wimbledon, Ascot and Lords, Last Night of the Proms, Prime Minister’s Questions, meeting Princess Diana, being able to travel anywhere in the world where my origins, language and culture are at the minimum accepted and respected, not having to know the names of those appointed on merit from within the judiciary to serve on the nation’s Supreme Court, ﬁsh and chips, compassion never better expressed than by Ralph McTell’s brilliant comment on homelessness in “Streets of London,” a respect for history and its anachronistic imposition of a system of government where the head of state has been loved and respected by all. Finally, and above all else for all of my life — Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, acknowledged simply as “The Queen” throughout the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the world.

It has been touching to have received from local friends “deepest and sincere condolences” for my loss as though I was a member of the Royal Family myself. A mark, I know, of the respect held here for Queen Elizabeth II, the Anglophile feelings she generated and an acknowledgment of what being British means to me.

The anti-democratic MAGA movement

It is tragic that the once-invaluable Republican Party has mostly supported this man. Instead of trying to deal with the real causes of dissatisfaction that have fueled the MAGA movement, most of the Republican Party has pandered to it while giving tax cuts to the rich. Millions of good Americans have been duped by this conman, who

As a Brit with 42 years on the clock in the U.S., I have become used to those looking on me with bemusement or suspicion for not taking citizenship but tolerated for my strange British sense of humor nevertheless.

To heal a wounded nation, start locally

From town and village halls to school boards, environmental demonstrations, civic meetings, and everything in between, our residents grapple with the most pressing issues confronting our communities. We ﬁnd particular examples of the nation’s broader, systemic issues within these forums.

We are wrestling with these unsettled questions right now. At the local level, our citizens learn how systems operate. With this understanding, we begin breaking down the great questions into bite-sized, manageable tasks.

may need to play a role in the current dock controversy, but also some highpowered experienced environmental legal talent will be necessary if the matter is to be resolved. Demonstrations at Cordwood Park in Head of the Harbor are only a ﬁrst step.

Letters to the editor

If trying to bully state ofﬁcials into falsifying the vote isn’t antidemocratic, I don’t know what is.

Recent accounts in the local press [see The Times of Smithtown and The Village Times Herald editions, Sept. 1] describe opposition to proposals by homeowners for a pier and dock in Stony Brook Harbor. While reading these articles, I recalled a concept that I encountered decades ago when I was involved with environmental impact statements in another part of the country, namely “navigable waters” under the regulatory jurisdiction of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Since that was long ago and far away, I used the Google search engine — not available way back then — to see whether the navigable waters concept might be relevant to the current Stony Brook Harbor dock controversy.

On a national stage, two U.S presidents are in a tug-ofwar for the soul of our nation.

Her letter of Sept. 8, [“Biden fails at uniting nation”] was wrongheaded, and clearly misunderstands what he said. The president accused only MAGA Republicans of being a danger to democracy, not all Republicans. Further, the characterization of Biden as “Adolf-style” was out of line and beyond the pale of reasonable discussion.

There was no quick and concise answer, since the navigable waters concept has been in a state of flux. As a result of an order from the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on Aug. 30, 2021, implementation of something called the Navigable Waters Protection Rule has been halted pending the signing of a proposed rule to revise the definition of “waters of the United States.” For further information — and confusion — may I suggest that interested readers go directly to one of the first hits in my Google search at the following —maybe,conceptGooglespinning,briefStates”morphed“navigablesearchdevelopmentsUnitedidentifyingparcel‘watersstatingisapprovedArmyindustry.”management,habitat,—cleanUniteddurablewaters-united-states.epa.gov/wotus/current-implementation-website:Accordingtothiswebsite,“Adefinitionof‘watersoftheStates’isessentialtoensuringandsafewaterinallcommunitiessupportinghumanhealth,animalagriculture,watersheds,floodlocaleconomiesandThereisalsoarolefortheU.S.CorpsofEngineers:“AnjurisdictionaldeterminationadocumentprovidedbythecorpsthepresenceorabsenceofoftheUnitedStates’onaorawrittenstatementandmapthelimitsof‘watersoftheStates’onaparcel.”TherearelikelymorerecentthatmyquickGoogledidnotpickup.Notethatwaters”seemstohaveinto“watersoftheUnited—atleastforapossiblytime.Atthispointmyheadwasafterabout30minutesofwebsearch.Mypurposeinintroducingtheofnavigablewaters—orwatersoftheUnitedStatesistoindicatethattheU.S.EPA

We hold that this bottom-up approach is the best course of action, both for our residents and nation. Locally, our voices ring louder, our votes weightier. Let’s ﬁx our problems here ﬁrst, then set our sights on issues further from home.

If trying to bully the vice president, Mike Pence [R], to violate the Constitution and decertify the vote of the Electoral College, I don’t know what is. If refusing to concede an election President Donald Trump [R] knew he lost isn’t anti-democratic, I don’t know what is. If broadcasting the Big Lie that the election was stolen isn’t anti-democratic, I don’t know what is. If instigating an insurrection designed to intimidate Congress into decertifying the election isn’t antidemocratic, I don’t know what is.

The ongoing intimidation of election ofﬁcials by MAGA militias is reminiscent of the Brown Shirts of the early 1930s in Germany, and is a clear danger to democracy. Yes, our democracy is in grave danger brought about by one man and his MAGA enablers.

In time, we will accumulate small wins. This formula can be scaled, meaning we can soon apply our takeaways from local politics to the higher levels of government.

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

Numerous problems plague our policymakers in Washington, from national security, economic uncertainty, immigration policy, among many others. In the face of these seemingly unanswerable questions, we must remember that all politics is local. Before we can even consider pondering the great questions of our time, we must ﬁrst get our affairs in order here at the community level.

It is hard to believe that Susan Kerr and I heard the same speech by President [Joe] Biden [D].

Earlier this month, President Joe Biden (D) and former President Donald Trump (R) presented disparate visions for the American future. Despite diametrically opposing messages, one theme uniﬁes these speeches: Americans stand at a crossroads in our history, and our trajectory is undecided.

What does it mean to have a representative voice in government? What is an equitable distribution of public resources? How and where should we build, and to what end?

After a night filled with an early June rain in 1953, Evans and his brother awaited the moment to see the queen, whose coronation occurred 16 months after she became queen.

The next morning, as crowds continued to grow, the police pushed the newer arrivals in front of the group, which meant Phillip was in the third tier of Throughonlookers.thecrowd, he caught a glimpse of the young queen, offering a stiff wave to her subjects.

they camped out near the fountain.

Philip Evans has noticed that the church bells ringing in the aftermath of her death don’t have their typical sound.

During a recent visit to the ophthalmologist, Evans chatted with three people about the queen and her son Charles, who has now become King Charles III.

were akin to being in prison, with all the limitations and the constant responsibilities, she believed the queen “loved it. It showed in her face.” Being a part of a “love match” with her husband Prince Philip “must have helped enormously.”

“What a remarkable lady she had been,” Gillian Evans added. “She said she would give herself to the nation for as long as she lived, and she did. Right up to the very, very last, which is wonderful.”

Now this person is not easy to find. In fact, there must be several unsuccessful trials before Mr. Right comes along. Ask your neighbors, your friends, your cousin, the hardware store, anyone who might help with a referral, but they may not want to share. Good luck!

I’m skipping over the years of squeaky violin music being practiced in the apartment to the left of ours, the midnight screaming by the couple two apartments further down the hall, the acrid smell of cooking from the apartment to the right of us each night, and so many other instances giving proof that we were not alone in our building.

Gillian Evans, meanwhile, traveled with her family to visit her aunt, who, at the time, was the only one in her family who owned a television.

“It was lovely to see what a beautiful spectacle it was,” Gillian Evans said.

Residents of Suffolk, England, Evans’s parents Philip and Gillian shared memories and thoughts on Queen Elizabeth II, who died last week at the age of 96.

The first time I lived in a house was when my husband was in the air force, and we were in base housing. To me, it was miraculously quiet, even though airplanes flew in regular intervals over our heads. “Someday we will have a house of our own, yes?” I asked my husband and kissed him when he agreed.Sothen we moved to the North Shore of Long Island and had our own house. That was when I discovered that a house was a living thing. It needed tending regularly. The toilet wouldn’t flush, the kitchen faucet dripped, the light fixture sizzled out, the venetian blind got stuck in the open position, the dishwasher wouldn’t dispense soap, the cabinet door was askew, there were ants in the basement and the front door knob threatened to fall off.

one problem per month. Usually, the breakdowns seemed to caucus with each other and happen all at once.We still love our house. You might ask, why? The answer is simple. We have found a handyman. Just as every first baby should come with an instruction manual, every house should be accompanied by a handyman. This person is a quiet, unsung hero. He, and it’s almost always a he, arrives with little fanfare shortly after he is called, carries two screwdrivers, a regular and a Phillips head, a hammer, a wrench, maybe some tape and seemingly little else. He squats down and patiently analyses each problem, pulls out the uncomplicated tool and sets everything right.

While Gillian Evans thought such conditions

“It was a marvelous thing to do,” Evans said by phone from his home. The travel and waiting in the rain meant it “wasn’t easy.”

Another memory involves my husband and me, shortly after we were married and had moved into our first apartment. Canadian Royal Mounted Police aerobic exercises were popular then, we had bought the book and were in the first few lunges after work one evening when there was a loud knocking at our door. When my husband opened it, an older couple shouted at us that we were bringing down the ceiling on their heads, and what were we doing up there, anyway?

“You can’t play that game indoors,” my mother explained. “It bothers the neighbors.”

People were saying “the queen had done a good job” and that they believed her son was “well suited” for his new role.

They made a cake and had tea, “aware that this was probably the last time” they would celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s lengthy legacy, Evans recalled in an email.

Philip Evans, who said the queen did “jolly well,” recognized that the queen made mistakes, one of which arose during her muted reaction to the death of Princess Diana in a car crash in 1997.

Oh, and did I mention that he doesn’t ask a month’s mortgage?

But unlike in the service, there was no one to call who would cheerfully arrive, fix the problem, then wish us a good day and leave. Oh, we could summon repair people to come, but when they left, we were less than cheerful. They had each gone off with a large chunk of our disposable income. In fact, we were lucky if we didn’t have more than

“She had a really bad time when Princess Diana was killed,” said Philip Evans, who retired in 2000 as a general surgeon. “She was just pulled down by the power of the press. In legalese, ‘she was badly advised.’”

As the country prepares for the funeral of a queen born eight years after the Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918 and who died two years after COVID-19, Clary Evans recognized that Queen Elizabeth II was a “link to those values of duty and service that were strong in those war and post-war years.”

you grew up in an urban apartment, as I did, you would marvel, as I do, at living now in a house. Some of my earliest memories involve neighbors in the building. For example, I loved to play jacks, a game on a hardwood floor with a bouncy rubber ball and 10 small metal pieces (called jacks), each to be lifted after the ball bounces but before it drops. When played, it surely made tapping noises on the ceiling of the apartment below, but that was nothing compared to the banging with what was probably a broomstick that the downstairs neighbor used to retaliate. The jacks trembled with each blow, and I certainly trembled at the attack. I remember bursting into

Before Elizabeth’s coronation at the age of 27, Philip Evans, who was a teenager, traveled with his brother Anthony to Trafalgar Square, where

Of course, we made noises, too, and otherwise let our presence be known. That was apartment living and somehow, we all survived it.

The Evans matriarch, 83, who is a retired diagnostic radiographer, is amazed at the effect the queen’s death is having on residents.

The sound alternates between loud and muted. The churches are using a so-called half-muffled peal, which creates a somber echo. The bells rang the same way last year after Prince Philip’s death.

“It’s very alarming and tells you that something is odd,” Evans said.
