Immersive musical experience comes to the Tesla Science Center

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

It was a night to remember. On Saturday, Aug. 28, Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) was one of many who attended the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe’s Sound of Science musical event in Shoreham. The event, sponsored by the TSCW and the Rites of Spring Music Festival, featured interactive exhibits and activities related to the connection between science and music, a tribute to scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla, and electric musical performances from the Rites of Spring Ensemble. The show included 12 musicians who played innovative music on electric instruments. Unlike other concerts, the show was featured at a unique venue and open-air theater with Tesla’s famous tower base as center stage and his laboratory as a backdrop. It began with an interactive surround-sound experience on the octagonal tower base, plus exhibits featuring singing Tesla coils, theremin and the science of sound.

After, the Rites of Spring Ensemble performed an electric concert featuring new music by Kanasevich, Mazzoli, Clyne, Akiho, Rodriguez, Romitelli and Little. “The Sound of Science was a fantastic event that was enjoyed by all,” Anker said. “Thank you to the many Tesla Science Center board, staff and volunteers that continue to find creative and exciting ways to share the contributions of the world-renowned scientist and inventor, Nikola Tesla, with our community.” The TSCW is a not-for-profit organization that aims to develop the site of Nikola Tesla’s last remaining laboratory into a global science center that provides innovative learning experiences, supports the advancement of new technologies, and preserves Nikola Tesla’s legacy. In July, the organization hosted another event to celebrate Tesla’s 165th birthday. Earlier this year, they held a “Metal for Tesla” event where people donated previously used metal to raise funds towards rebuilding Tesla’s famed towner on the Shoreham grounds. For more information about upcoming events and programs or if you’re interested in volunteering at TSCW call (631)-886-2632 or visit teslasciencecenter.org.

University celebrates Stony Brook Union grand opening BY KIMBERLY BROWN KIMBERLY@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Stony Brook University officially opened the newest addition to its campus, the remodeled Stony Brook Union center, Wednesday, Aug. 25. With performances from the Seawolves Marching Band for the ribboncutting celebration, as well as free drinks and food, students were eager to explore the 177,000-square-foot building. “We want students to consider this as a resource, to relax, to study, to learn, to perform, to meet new people and pursue new interests,” said Maurie McInnis, president of SBU. “There is so much to be discovered in this impressive space.” The renovations for the Stony Brook Union center took three years to complete at $63.4 million. The finished building has three levels that include student services, an IT help desk, comfortable studying sections with couches and powered stations, as well as collaborative spaces. “As we are fully reopening our campuses, we are feeling a renewed energy and optimism from everyone around,” said Jim Malatras, State University of New York chancellor. “Our students deserve this and it matches the

outstanding education they receive from this university, one of the best in the world.” The Stony Brook Union will be a central location for faculty and staff offices that will provide easy access for students to use at their convenience. Some of the new offices include Student Community Development, Student Engagement and Activities, Fraternity and Sorority Life, and Commuter Student Services. “I’m excited to see the new opening of the student union because I think it’s a great place to go to get some studying in, but also for socializing at club events,” said Jessie Lin, a SBU student. The lower level of the building includes expanded space for the Stony Brook Food Pantry and resources such as the Interfaith Center, Club Hub, Esports Club and the Science Fiction Forum. With more than 26,000 students attending the university this year, the Stony Brook Union center will provide a large, welcoming space for undergraduates to enhance their studying practices. “Seeing the student union being built from my freshman year to now being fully completed as a senior gives me nostalgia,” said Tania Thomas, a SBU student.

History Close at Hand

Caroline Church graveyard is full of local history BY BEVERLY C. TYLER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM “The whaleboat fleet of Stamford under command of Capt. Ebenezer Jones, came out of the fog, and directly upon a warship of the enemy. Capt. Jones loudly protested against the fault of the English officer in allowing a strange boat to get so near him, unchallenged. He claimed to be an inspector sent by the English Commander. Then, still denouncing the want of proper precautions, he went aboard with his crew, keeping up the loud words. Meanwhile, he gave the signal for the other boats. They surrounded the enemy, and the vessel was captured. About the same time, a smaller vessel of the enemy was boarded by men from one Whale-Boat; while men from another WhaleBoat entered the cabin windows. The crew surrendered, and the vessel was brought to Stamford.” (Mather’s Refugees). A number of Capt. Jones’ other battles are detailed in “Naval History of Fairfield County Men in the Revolution,” by Elsie N. Danenberg. It is very difficult to determine the movement and activity of every refugee from Long Island to Connecticut and what happened to them. This is especially true of the Patriots who were captains or crew members of vessels which attacked British and Loyalist vessels along the Connecticut coast. Many, like Caleb Brewster, Joshua Davis, Abraham Cooper Woodhull, Jonathan Kinner and Capt. Nathan Woodhull were native Long Islanders. It appears that Ebenezer Jones, a native of Connecticut, moved to Long Island sometime after the Revolutionary War. Ebenezer Jones (1722-1800) is buried in the Caroline Episcopal Church graveyard. His wife, Hannah Jayne (1733-1800), is buried next to him. Nearby is the grave of his son Benjamin Jones (1754-1823), a Patriot who also served, possibly on one of his father’s whaleboats. The information on the Jones family and the other Patriots buried at Caroline Church is fragmentary, and we cannot even verify that Setauket’s Ebenezer Jones is the same Patriot who ran the whaleboat fleet out of Stamford, Connecticut. What we do know is that Ebenezer is the son of Benjamin and Anna Jones and that Ebenezer’s son Benjamin is the grandfather of Capt. Benjamin Jones who made two voyages to China and Japan as master of the East Setauketbuilt bark “Mary and Louisa.” Four, or possibly five additional Revolutionary War Patriots are buried at Caroline Church. Vincent Jones (1753-1821), and his wife Mary (1765-1851), are buried near Benjamin and Hannah Jones; however, we have been unable to determine whether Vincent is related to Benjamin and Ebenezer Jones. Patriot Robert Jayne (1729-1826) and

his son, Patriot Samuel Jayne (1759-1844), signed the Association along with Benjamin, Ebenezer and Vincent Jones, Israel Bennett and Samuel Longbothum in a document “sent to Col. Nathaniel Woodhull on August 17, 1775 by Richard Woodhull and Samuel Thompson, Committeemen.” (Mather’s Refugees). Samuel Jayne’s card file at Caroline Church says, “Never married, soldier in the Revolution. Taken prisoner and confined on British prison ship at Wallabout [Bay], Brooklyn. Later paroled.” Samuel Longbothum (1738/39-1813) has a Federal replacement veteran gravestone on the east section of the graveyard which says, “Pvt Suffolk Mil Reg 7 Co, Rev War.” Patriot Israel Bennett (1723-1781) and his wife Amy, as well as their son Israel (17611846) and his wife, Jane Biggs (1762-1841), are buried at Caroline. Patriot Israel Bennett is listed as a 1775 signer of the Patriot Association. We have no other record for either father or son or of any of the Patriots buried at Caroline. Only Benjamin Jones is listed as a refugee in Mather’s “Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut.” All of the Patriots buried at Caroline are listed in the 1976 Bicentennial publication “American Revolutionary War Patriots Buried in the Town of Brookhaven.” Culper Spy Day activities on Saturday, Sept. 18 will include the 1729 Caroline Episcopal Church. A docent will meet visitors at the front walkway. An information sheet describing the gravestones of the Revolutionary War Patriots and one Loyalist buried in the church cemetery will be provided.

Obituary

Longtime resident William T. Leonard Jr. of Port Jefferson died Aug. 15, 2021, at the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook. Leonard, a graduate of Port Jefferson High School, class of 1946, was married to the late Shirley Johnson, a retired teacher who passed away four years ago. He served his country in both the U. S. Army from 1946-1947 as part of the occupational forces in Korea during the Japanese reconstruction. He then enlisted in the U. S. Navy in 1951, training in boot camp at Great Lakers Naval Center. As a diver in the underwater demolition unit, he tested and evaluated underwater cameras in a sea tow. Later he studied at a school in England for high-speed diesel engine repair. He was stationed on board a repaired Norwegian patrol boat that patrolled the waters north of the parallel in Vietnam. The Leonards were interested in local history and architectural research and lived in a small Greek Revival house that had been carefully researched and restored over their 40-year marriage. They were also active in the First United Methodist Church in Port Jefferson, the local historical society and several veterans’ organizations.

Leonard is survived by his brothers, Edwin and Frank, several nieces and nephews, his devoted rescue dog, Keep-ah, and many caring neighbors and friends. Bryant Funeral Home of East Setauket handled cremation arrangements.

County’s COVID-19 numbers heading in the wrong direction as school starts

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM What a difference a month, or two, makes. The percent of positive tests in Suffolk County on Aug. 29 stood at 5.1% with a 4.7% positive seven-day average, according to data from the Suffolk County Department of Health. That is considerably higher than just a month earlier, with a 3.2% positive testing rate on July 29 and a 2.7% rate on a sevenday average. The increase in infections for the county looks even more dramatic when compared with June 29, when positive tests were 0.2% and the seven day average was 0.4%. “With the highly transmissible delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 [the virus that causes Covid-19] circulating, we are urging everyone who is eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible,” Gregson Pigott, commissioner of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, wrote in an email. “We also advise residents to wear masks when indoors in public.” With students returning to school during the increase in positive tests, including those

who are under 12 and ineligible to receive the vaccination, Pigott explained that he was concerned about the positive tests in the county. Nationally, the spread of the Delta variant is so prevalent that the Director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Rochelle Walensky at a White House briefing urged people who are unvaccinated not to travel during the Labor Day weekend. While area hospitals aren’t seeing the same alarming surge towards capacity that they did last year, local health care facilities have had an uptick in patients who need medical attention. “The increased community transmission is concerning as it is correlating with hospital rates also slowly rising,” Bettina Fries, chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Medicine, wrote in an email. Meanwhile, most of the patients hospitalized at Huntington Hospital are younger, from children who are transferred to people in their 20s to 50s, explained Adrian Popp, chair of Infection Control at Huntington Hospital/ Northwell Health, in an email. As schools in the area prepare to return

Dozens show up at SBU Hospital to protest new vaccine mandate BY KIMBERLY BROWN KIMBERLY@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Over 100 Long Islanders gathered at Stony Brook University Hospital and alongside Nicolls Road Wednesday, Aug. 25, to protest against the updated COVID-19 vaccine mandate recently put in place for hospital and long-term care workers. The first dose will be required by Sept. 27 with limited exceptions for those with religious or medical exemptions. According to data from New York State, new daily positives are up more than 1000% over the last six weeks. About 80% of the positive cases are linked to the new Delta variant. However, protesters felt this new mandate is unfair, and that medical workers should be allowed to have a choice as to whether or not they want to be vaccinated. “It’s not in the Constitution that the government can mandate anything medical,” said Barbara Luvin, a Freeport resident. “This mandate does equal communism, because you shouldn’t be forced to do anything. It’s a matter of freedom for your own body.” Many medical care workers are being terminated from their jobs due to not being compliant with the vaccine mandate. Commack medical care worker Diane Eder

expressed her frustrations, saying she will be terminated from her work on Sept. 24 due to her opposition to receiving the vaccine. “Let me make it clear that I am not against vaccines,” Eder said. “I’ve been in the medical field for 40 years, but I’m going to be terminated because I won’t get vaccinated. We don’t know what the future holds for people who get the vaccine, and I know that

I do not want it. All I’m asking for is to wait another year or two.” Signs including “Last Year’s Heroes, This Year’s Unemployed” and “Nurses For Medical Freedom — We Have The Right to Choose” were held high as protesters with megaphones shouted to the crowd from the second floor of the parking garage. It wasn’t only medical care workers who

came to the protest, but also friends, families and other local residents who disagreed strongly with the new mandate. “It should be people’s personal decision, and it shouldn’t be mandated by the government — that’s the bottom line,” said Kimberly Riegel, a Miller Place resident. “If people want to get it, that’s fine, but if I don’t want to get it. I shouldn’t have to, and I don’t think that’s an argument that we should have to dispute.” A statement from Stony Brook Medicine said, “Stony Brook Medicine follows all state and DOH guidelines regarding immunization against COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines have proven highly effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. They are important tools to keep patients, patient-facing health care workers, and the wider community safe as we observe a rise in COVID cases in New York State, driven by the Delta variant.” Stony Brook Medicine officials added that they are “awaiting further guidance as to how compliance will be enforced.” The Aug. 25 rally was one of a few that are being organized by health care workers with upcoming protests to be held at St. Catherine of Siena Hospital in Smithtown and St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson.

Outside of Long Island, Hurricane Ida has the potential to increase the spread of the virus, as larger groups of people crowd into smaller spaces. The hurricane “may become a super spreader event since vaccination rates in the South are low and people may crowd into shelters or at home indoors,” Popp explained. “I am concerned not only about the hospital capacity in Louisiana, but also of the impact the hurricane can have on hospital functioning.” Popp cited a loss of power, lack of supplies, and the difficulty for ambulances trying to reach patients in flooded areas.

a diverse group of school districts in planning for the upcoming school year,” Sharon Nachman, chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, explained in an email. In recent weeks, Stony Brook Children’s Hospital has had few pediatric hospitalizations for COVID-19, with more pediatric positive cases in the outpatient setting. Area hospitals including Stony Brook and Huntington Hospital continue to have strict guidelines in place for health care workers including social distancing, hand washing and the proper use of personal protective equipment. Amid increasing discussion of the

potential use of boosters, Stony Brook awaits “formal guidance and will continue to follow all DOH directives on vaccine administration,” Fries wrote.

Editorial

Letters to the Editor

Businesses are still struggling It’s been a difficult 18 months, especially when we think back to the early days of the pandemic as we watched businesses across our communities adjust to state mandates after COVID-19 raged through our area. From limiting capacity to some businesses not being able to operate at all, many owners had difficulty adjusting. Despite the lifting of state mandates a few months ago, many are still suffering. As we look around more and more, places are closing or are in jeopardy of shutting down. In the last two weeks, we have heard the news of the Book Revue in Huntington set to close by Sept. 30. After 44 years of business, the village staple is in a financial hole. The store had been shut down for three months during the pandemic. Once it was reopen, the business struggled to get back on its feet, and the owner fell behind on the rent. To the east, Smithtown Performing Arts Center is having trouble holding on to its lease of the old theater. The nonprofit is also behind in its rent and has been unable to make a deal with the landlord, which led him to put the theater up for sale two weeks ago. Both businesses received assistance during the pandemic. The Book Revue, like many others, was fortunate to receive loans through the federal Paycheck Protection Program to pay employees’ salaries and keep the lights on. For SPAC, the nonprofit received a Shuttered Venue Operators Grant but needs to have a full account of debts to be able to reconcile grant monies. With the pandemic lingering, what many people are discovering is that the assistance just artificially propped them up for a short while. Now more than ever, local businesses and nonprofits need the help of community members to enter their storefronts and buy their products. When a consumer chooses between shopping or eating locally instead of online or going to a big chain, it makes a difference. If one looks for a silver lining in all this, it may be that many business owners have come up with innovative ways to stay open, while others have embraced curbside pickup and created websites and social media accounts that will be an asset in the future. And while it’s sad to see so many favorite businesses closing their doors, it also paves the way for new stores with fresh ideas to come in with items such as different types of ice cream or creative giftware or clothing. Many of our main streets need revitalization and the arrival of new businesses or current ones reinventing themselves can be just what our communities need to reimagine themselves — and not only survive but thrive in the future. We can all help small local businesses stay afloat, whether it’s an old staple or a new place. Because at the end of the day, if a store or restaurant has been empty and the cash register reflects that, we’ll see more and more empty storefronts in our future. Spend your money wisely — shop and eat locally.

Diversity, equity and inclusion in our schools

As we begin another school year in the midst of a pandemic, there has been a great deal of focus on what occurs in our schools. Health and safety protocols have been part of heated debates, as have curriculum and issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. As a veteran educator with over two decades in K-12 and public higher education, I would like to clarify some of the misinformation being communicated about diversity, equity and inclusion (known as DEI), share how it is taught in my own classroom and explain why this is such a crucial component of our children’s comprehensive education. Diversity is recognizing that each student is unique, and recognizing and celebrating these qualities. Diversity in my classroom refers to programming music from around the world alongside the works of Mozart, Vivaldi and Bach. Doing so allows my students to see themselves reflected in the music they study and perform. When we study songs from South Africa, we examine history. We read passages from both Nelson Mandela and Trevor Noah from “The Daily Show” about their experiences living under apartheid. We listen to and watch South African youth choirs performing this music in the present day, Black and white together, which was inconceivable 40 years ago. We talk about how this is a vehicle to consider and grapple with the past, and reconcile the future. Equity is about offering individualized support to students that address possible barriers to success. Equity has long been a part of our education system, most notably in special education. Equity in our schools includes individualized education programs, 504 plans, English language learning, academic intervention services, early intervention, one-on-one aides, 12:1:1 classrooms, wheelchair ramps and gifted programs. Tens of thousands of children across Long Island have benefited from this equity in our system, including mine. Inclusion is ensuring that every student feels a sense of belonging. In my choral music classroom, it is about eliminating any potential barrier to entry. Every student who wants to sing has the opportunity to do so, regardless of ability or experience. Students who don’t read music, who are English language learners, who are disabled, each of them is included, welcomed and valued. DEI is a necessary component if we

are to educate the next generation to understand the world around them. This is especially true on Long Island, which is one of the most segregated areas in the country. When our children graduate from high school, they need to be prepared for a world that is diverse in its makeup and thinking. Education can help to address the gap in understanding and context that is too often missing in our siloed enclaves. I am proud to embrace diversity, equity and inclusion in my classroom. It creates a space where every child belongs, and where I learn as much, if not more, from the students I teach. Here’s to a healthy, safe, and equitable school year for all.

Easy to mislead with cherry-picked statistics

If New York is the hellhole that Jim Soviero paints [letter “New York’s progressive dystopia” published in TBR News Media’s papers, Aug. 26], maybe he would be better off moving to Texas or Florida. Neither of these states is burdened with the “progressive leaders” he seems to think are the source of all ill. Instead, both these states have ICUs overflowing with unvaccinated COVID-19 patients and morgues overflowing with corpses. And, not coincidentally, both have governors who have actively discouraged scientifically based health measures to combat the virus, preferring instead to frame a viral epidemic as a political issue rather than a matter of science and public health. It’s so easy to mislead using cherrypicked statistics. Yes, New Jersey and New York have the highest per capita rate of COVID deaths — starting from the beginning of the epidemic. Most of those deaths occurred during the first wave of the epidemic, before the transmission mechanism of the virus was well understood, and way before safe and effective vaccines against it were developed. What matters is not what happened 18 months ago, but what’s happening now — when we have the tools to combat the virus. The virus doesn’t care whether the governor of your state has an “R” or a “D” after their name, nor does it care about individual beliefs about freedom or about vaccination, much to the sorrow of those who end up in the ICU with bitter regrets about their failure to protect themselves. If Mr. Soviero would prefer to breathe

the free air and viral particles of Texas or Florida under the benighted leadership of those states, he is welcome to it. Me, I’ll take my chances here in New York with its progressive leadership, where I can only shake my head in sorrow at so much needless suffering and death in states down South. David Friedman St. James

We all miss John McCain

The late Republican Arizona senator and presidential candidate John McCain, born on Aug. 29, 1936, was always a breath of fresh air. What you see is what you got with the “Straight Talk Express” — the name of his campaign bus. He could work across the aisle with Democratic senate colleagues, including Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman [later an independent] and others on a regular bipartisan basis. These also included Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy on comprehensive immigration reform and Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold on campaign finance reform. McCain’s history in the Senate harkens back to an age of collegiality no longer seen today. Like New York’s Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, McCain was an intellectual giant standing head and shoulders above today’s newer generation of senators. In our era of highly partisan politics, let’s hope that Congress members from different parties with the third anniversary of his passing on Aug. 25, 2018, can honor McCain’s memory. Will we ever move beyond rigid ideological commitments and come together on behalf of all Americans? McCain was a role model others should be emulating. With his death, Diogenes is still searching for an honest politician. Larry Penner Great Neck

Opinion The scramble to get out of New Orleans before Hurricane Ida

ast Friday around 10:30 am, our son, who just arrived at his freshman dorm 12 days earlier, asked how quickly I could get him on a flight back home. I dropped what I was doing and searched for flights out of New Orleans. We knew he was in the path of Hurricane Ida and had been hoping, as Long Island had done the week before with Hurricane Henri, that he and the city would somehow avoid D. None the worst of the storm. His college had of the above provided regular BY DANIEL DUNAIEF updates, indicating that the forecasts called for the storm to hit 90 miles to their west. That would mean they’d get heavy rain and some wind, but that the storm, strong as it might become, might not cause the

same kind of devastation as Hurricane Katrina had exactly 16 years earlier. By Friday, two days before its arrival, my son, many of his friends, and his friends’ parents were scrambling to get away from the Crescent City amid reports that the storm was turning more to the east. Fortunately, we were able to book a midday flight the next day. An hour later, he texted me and said he might want to stay on campus during the storm, the way a few of his other friends were doing. I ignored the message. Two hours later, he asked if he still had the plane reservation and said he was happy he’d be leaving. Later that Friday, another classmate tried unsuccessfully to book a flight, as the scramble to leave the city increased. My wife and I became increasingly concerned about his ride to the airport, which, on a normal day, would take about 30 minutes. We kept pushing the time back for him to leave, especially when we saw images of crowded roadways.

He scheduled an Uber for 9:30. On Saturday morning at 6 a.m. his time, he texted and asked if he should go with a friend who was leaving at 9 and had room in his car. Clearly, he wasn’t sleeping too much, either. I urged him to take the earlier car, which would give him more time in case traffic was crawling. He got to the airport well before his flight and waited for close to two hours to get through a packed security line. When his plane was finally in the air, my wife and I breathed a sigh of relief. We both jumped out of the car at the airport to hug him and welcome him home, even though we had given him good luck hugs only two weeks earlier at the start of college. After sharing his relief at being far from the storm, he told us how hungry he was. The New Orleans airport had run low on food amid the sudden surge of people fleeing the city. After he greeted our pets, who were thrilled to see him, he fell into a salad, sharing stream-of-consciousness stories. The next day, he received numerous short

videos from friends who stayed during the storm. While we’d experienced hurricanes before, the images of a transformer sparking and then exploding, videos of rooms filling with water from shattered windows, and images of water cascading through ceilings near light fixtures were still shocking. He will be home for at least six weeks, as the city and the school work to repair and rebuild infrastructure. During that time, he will return to the familiar world of online learning, where he and new friends from around the country and world will work to advance their education amid yet another disruption from a routine already derailed by COVID-19. We know how fortunate he was to get out of harm’s way and how challenging the rebuilding process will be for those who live in New Orleans. When he returns to campus, whenever that may be, we know he will not only study for his classes, but that he and his classmates will also contribute to efforts to help the community and city recover from the storm.

Detective work to collect on a 71-year-old debt

arely do I sort the jumbled contents of my drawers. With a burst of energy, I did just that the other day, and I was rewarded with an archaeological find. There, toward the back, where I had clearly put it for safekeeping, was a $25 United States Saving Bond that had been given to my husband in 1950. Curiously, it happened to be exactly on the day and month of our second son’s birth many years later. But I digress. Between Back to the matter you and me of the bond. What to do BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF with this bit of Series E antiquity?

First thought was to bring it to my friendly banker, who searched for the serial number on the web and found it was worth $147 and change today. OK, not too bad, since it originally cost $18.75. At least the gift has kept up with inflation. Next were the requirements for cashing the bond. That has proven not to be so simple for a couple of reasons. First, there is another name listed as the recipient on the front. It is that of his mother. The name on the face of the paper reads this way: that of my husband OR that of his mother. Whoever gave him the bond probably thought it was a good idea to have the parent involved as a backup. After all, my husband was just a teenager then. So, not only do I have to supply key information about my husband, like social security number and death certificate. I also have to produce the names of my motherin-law’s parents, the county in which she died, her last residence, along with her social security

number and her date of death in order to get her death certificate. Well, that’s not happening. At least not without some huge sleuthing. At this point, kudos to my banker, who will not give up. And we do have a couple of lucky breaks here. She was born in the United States, so presumably, a death certificate can be found. Further, one of my husband’s siblings and his wife thankfully are still alive, with both retaining every single brain cell. They could tell me where she lived and her parents’ last name. They had no idea of her social security number, nor could they recall where she died. My daughter-in-law, called in to help, was able to use the internet and found her date of death. Another kink in the thread is that the last name of both is misspelled, with an extra ‘f’ on the end. The gifter did not know their correct spelling. My brother-in-law assured me she did not spell their name that way. I don’t know how much of an obstacle that will be in this age of

computer exactness. The biggest challenge remaining is to determine in which county she died. She lived in Queens, she may have died in a Manhattan hospital, or she may have been living in an adult home in Nassau County, near her daughter, at the time of her death. I will be paying $23 and some change in order to file for a search of that elusive certificate. Perhaps I will have to do that three times. This is not about money now. I know both those people listed on the bond would want to be made whole lo these 71 years later. I owe it to them to continue the search. Besides, as my banker explained, this is the first such conundrum he has been presented with, and he will learn from it and know how to deal with the next one. For my part, I will consider any money I should ultimately receive, as the 1936 Bing Crosby song goes, pennies from heaven.

Patriots open season against East Islip BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Ward Melville’s girls soccer team finished last season atop the League II leader with a 9-01 record in an abbreviated COVID-shortened season to advance to the Suffolk Class AA final. The Patriots, No. 1 seed, faced Sachem East, the No. 3 seed,w and played to a 1-1 tie to share the Class AA title as co-champions. Ward Melville opened their 2021 campaign at home where they hosted East Islip to kick off a full season the first time since 2019. After 80 minutes of regulation and two overtime periods, the results were the same, ending in a scoreless 0-0 tie in a

non-league game Aug. 30. The Patriots are back in action Sept. 1 in another non-league matchup on the road against St. Anthony’s with a 7 p.m start before league play begins Sept. 4 on the road against Walt Whitman. Game time is 10 a.m. Pictured clockwise from above, Ward Melville senior co-captain Rachel Ehrlich with a shot on goal for the Patriots; Patriots Emma Ward maneuvers midﬁeld; Ward Melville sophomore forward Amelia Pirozzi settles the ball; Patriots sophomore midﬁelder Brooke Laine plays a corner kick; and sophomore forward Emilia Retzlaff settles the ball. — Photos by Bill Landon
