10 things to know about the 2020 census

Of Colors Black History Exhibition & Diversity

Celebration was standing room-only last weekend

BY LINDA LEUZZI

While Saturday night was frigid, the Of Colors Black History Exhibition & Diversity Celebration rocked warm with greetings, stories and awards in the Pat-chogue Artspace Gallery.

People grouped in chairs on the west area space. In the middle. On the east section by the side door. In the back.

Even in the entrance lobby. It was standing room only.

The gallery walls glowed with beau-tiful, bold art pieces. There were jew-elry offerings and creations made by Artspace residents, and food and wine.

Captain Kirk Douglas, guitarist of The Roots and “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” fame, drove in from Brooklyn, a polite, low-key presence who roused the audience. So did singer Destiny Robinson, who traveled from

Ridge, and Long Island flutist Dwayne Kerr. Sar-iah Scott played a mean

steel drum. DJ Rob James kept the beat going. Little ones, in

the arms of aunts and moms, bounced in tune

with the harmonic joy or tried to break free and dance with the music.

Former News 12 anchor Melba Tolliver was the engaging host with Tracy Todd Hunter, Artspace resident and Of Colors

founder. Newsday’s Olivia Winslow and Keith Herbert were the recipients of the Melba Tolliver Award for their series on real estate steering.

“It’s a real tribute to our culture that everyone comes out,” Hunter said, look-ing at the packed gallery.

Stacks of folding chairs kept coming in.

Mayor Paul Pontieri commented that in 2006 “we were standing in a park-ing lot,” of Artspace’s metamorphosis. “Now we’re standing in a place that

changed a communi-ty.” Legis. Rob Calarco said, “Your culture is my culture. That’s the

beauty of living in America.” Tolliver, who pointed to a special

award sculpture of Harriet Tubman by artist James Counts and told a bit of her own story, also coaxed background tales out of the performers and awardees including Captain Kirk Douglas, who grew up in Holbrook. Douglas said that seeing guitarist Vernon Reid in the rock band Living Colour on television gave him the possibility that there might be a place for him too.

Perhaps one of the most poignant tell-ings came from David Bunn, brother of awardee John Bunn, founder of A Voice 4 the Unheard, who couldn’t make the ceremony. John Bunn was wrongfully incarcerated for 17 years, for a crime he didn’t commit at age 14, and eventually exonerated. David Bunn chronicled the heartache, persistence and concern the family experienced in fighting for their loved one as well what his brother went through.

How to participate, and why you should get counted

BY GLENN ROHRBACKER

The 2020 U.S. census will begin soon, and it is already underway in some remote parts of the country. Communities across the U.S. are coming together to get “com-plete counts” in order to have accurate results in this year’s survey, which will then be used for the next decade. The fol-

lowing 10 facts come from a public session at the Patchogue-Medford Library and from the U.S. Census Bureau website:

Everyone needs to be counted.It is in the Constitution that a nation-

wide census be performed every 10 years. Every person living in the United States

must be counted, and counted only once. This includes service members; infants born

after April 1; those experiencing home-lessness; and those living in Washington,

D.C., Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

There are four ways to take the survey.

For the first time, the U.S. census can be taken online and over the phone. You will get an invitation between March 12 and 20 with a code directing you to the online portal. It is also possible to take the survey by phone, by mailing in the form or in person.

You can prevent someone from knocking at your door.

If you don’t want a visit from a Census Bureau worker, you should plan to take the census online, by phone or by mail. According to a timeline from the Census Bureau, reminders will be sent out sev-eral times by mail between March 12 and April 30. If you still haven’t responded, you could be called on by census takers, who will begin visiting homes to try to get

Halfway to the rampBY LINDA LEUZZI

The Grace AME Zion Church’s quest to build a ramp is looking good.

It just needs another push from noble-minded folks willing to step up — that is, with funds.

“So far, $850 in donations have come in,” said Patchogue Village board mem-

ber Tom Ferb. “We could use another $1,000. Some of it will be used for materials

and landscaping.” The small, elegant 100-year-old Pat-

chogue church has a half-dozen narrow steps to the front door. A ramp would aid some of its devoted churchgoers with achy hips and knees. “Jason Pontieri, an engineer, did a pro bono site rendering of a ramp for the front and side, and we’ll give them to the church people to decide,” Ferb said. “Once they choose, Jason will complete the process, and the village will waive the $750 permit application.

By the middle of March, we’ll be able to put a shovel in the ground.”

Rev. Jessie Fields said in an earlier interview there were 25 active members; 15 more would come with the ramp.

The little building has historical heft as the first black church in Patchogue and for its choir singing and social jus-tice initiatives. It is the birthplace of the Brookhaven NAACP.

Rebuilding Together Long Island vol-unteers will construct the ramp. The 27-year-old nonprofit organization pro-vides free home repairs to qualified home-owners who are seniors, frail people with disabilities, and vets and their families; ramps are one of its specialties. Ferb is cautiously confident about getting build-

ing and concrete suppliers to donate their materials and services.

Ferb approached the Greater Pat-chogue Foundation, which sent out a flyer and attracted supporters in November. Checks for the Grace AME Zion Church ramp can be made out to the Greater Patchogue Foundation, with a notation

for the Grace Church ramp, and sent to Greater Patchogue Chamber of Com-merce, 15 North Ocean Ave., Patchogue, NY 11772. Credit cards are accepted also. Come to the chamber office at the above address where they can swipe it, or call 631-207-1000 with your credit card ready. n

Green fleet to replace village vehicles

Urban Fields Agriculture grows herbs in an earth-

friendly, more efficient wayBY GLENN ROHRBACKER

Cory Mahoney read an article about hydroponic farming that piqued his interest — and then got him hooked. He started the controlled scientific grow-ing practice at home. He’s now the

owner of Urban Fields Agriculture, a hydroponic vertical indoor farm in Patchogue.

Mahoney’s home setup allowed 15 plants to be grown at once. He’s upgraded a bit to be able to hold over 1,800 plans. He opened the business last September and moved into his Pat-chogue space a few months later. The Sachem alumnus was always interested in technology and wanted to combine that interest with the environment.

Traditional farming is based in soil, right? Not here. The plants and herbs grown in Mahoney’s farm are growing without soil. They’re layered in flat beds where the roots are submerged in nutrient-rich water, making up for (and then some) what they would get from soil. It’s actually more efficient than traditional methods, as the plants will grow 50 percent faster and use 90 percent less water.

“The plants are basically gorging themselves,” Mahoney said.

But it’s not just a free-for-all. The farm is carefully curated and controlled through lighting, humidity and tem-perature. There are seeds that sprout in a controlled environment (mostly with

humidity levels) and then are moved to a larger bed to grow to full size.

Right now, Mahoney is growing basil, arugula, chives and mint. He’s also working on growing an edible flower called nasturtium. The plants each get their own treatments, depending on what they need, and nothing more. Mahoney judges for iron, calcium, magnesium and other elements to give the plants exactly what they need to grow healthy. He said the controlled environment produces more flavorful and fresh produce. His farm does not use pesticides, and the plants have a similar lifetime to traditionally grown plants and herbs. n

Patchogue Village passes policy committed

to purchasing environmentally friendly

options

BY NICOLE FUENTES

The Village of Patchogue board of trustees recently vowed to replace all outgoing vehicles with environmental-ly conscious alternatives in what it is calling the “Green Fleet Policy,” a Pro-tecting the Environment in Patchogue project it approved earlier this month.

“It commits the Village of Patchogue to drastically change (our) vehicle pur-chasing practices,” said trustee and PEP chair Joseph Keyes, who wrote and introduced the policy.

The idea, he explained, was to get away from purchasing used fossil fuel vehicles simply because they were the best price. Also, the village’s first elec-tric charging station was installed at Village Hall about a month ago; it has been operational for a few weeks now, already seeing some use.

However, the village does not cur-rently have any electric vehicles, including those for public safety and Department of Public Works. The goal, Keyes said, is to purchase its first electric vehicle in 2020. Then, he hopes, next year (2021) the village will purchase two more, until ultimately all over 45 village-owned vehicles are replaced.

Currently, Keyes explained, the code enforcement and building department

vehicles consume about $60,000 worth of fuel per year at about $1.95 per gal-lon.

“If we can drastically reduce that cost, it’s a savings, in addition to pro-moting clean air,” he said.

As with the engine idling policy the board last July, just like almost all of the PEP initiatives, the Green Fleet

Policy will force the village “to change some of the old, dirty habits we’d been accustomed to — habits such as wasteful fuel consumption and pur-chasing what on the surface would appear to be a bargain,” Keyes added. Additionally, PEP’s newest initiative is called “Project CHARGE,” in which village administration will Change

Habits to Actively Reduce Gas Emis-sions.

“The village has made a commit-ment to the environment, whether it’s with this green policy or our Styro-foam or plastic bag ban,” added Mayor Paul Pontieri, proud of his board. “We are making the village environmental-ly sustainable.” n

Oak Street residents will finally get relief from potholes like these. A grant dating back to 2006 will finally be sanctioned by NYS DOT for this spring.

ADV/Leuzzi

Oak Street is (really) being paved this timeBY NICOLE FUENTES AND LINDA LEUZZI

Earlier this month the Village of Patchogue board approved a resolu-tion appropriating a total of $264,758 for the Oak Street Rehabilitation Proj-ect, authorizing the village to pay 100 percent of the costs with the promise of NYS Department of Transporta-tion reimbursement.

The BID was awarded to Rose-mar, and paving and construction is expected to begin sometime in early spring, said Mayor Paul Pontieri.

“This project is finally going to get done,” he said, explaining that it has been a long time coming (since 2006).

The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act, or SAFETEA-LU, grant for $1.2 mil-lion was approved in 2006, obtained by former Rep. Tim Bishop (D-South-ampton), who had an office on Oak Street [now occupied by Rep. Lee Zel-din (R-Shirley)]. The remainder of the grant — $980,000 after DOT-required engineering costs —will be used, and the paving project will go out to bid.

Oak Street runs between North Ocean Avenue and Route 112. It’s a well-traveled street, between the

Main Street back parking lots includ-ing Patchogue Theatre, Temple Beth

El, businesses and homes.

Where to find itSeveral local businesses are serving UFA products, including Donatina Pizzeria and PeraBell. Patchogue’s Great South Bar has also developed a cocktail using UFA basil, called Kermit Juice. Mahoney said his products would also be in Lombardi’s Market in Holbrook soon.

What is hydroponic vertical farming?According to a report from the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT), hydroponic vertical farming involves growing crops in controlled indoor environments, with precise light, nutrients and temperatures. It’s also possible that the plants are stacked in layers that could reach several stories tall. The system allows for year-round growth, eliminates the need for pesticides, conserves water, conserves trans-port energy and uses less horizontal space. Water is circulated in a bed beneath the plants to ensure an even chemical distribution.

Alternative student assessment options announcedNew program gives ways

to measure student growth outside of state

tests

BY GLENN ROHRBACKER

A state mandate requires that school districts be given a designation of “needing improvement” to set up alternative testing methods for stu-dents who opt out of state tests. The Patchogue-Medford School District recently unveiled its plan to use the i-Ready system, as it had five schools and the district was designated as

“needing improve-ment.”

According to assis-tant superintendent Lori Cannetti, who

presented the plan at the Jan. 27 board of education meeting, there was a lack of a districtwide assessment that could be administered to all stu-dents to measure growth. The district had a 77 percent opt-out rate for state testing, so a third-party assessment tool was necessary. This will provide another assessment outlining student achievement and growth to present to the state in lieu of the statewide tests.

A committee of teachers and admin-istrators selected i-Ready, a third-par-ty assessment tool being used by dis-tricts across the county, including Sayville and Bayport-Blue Point. The program was piloted at South Ocean Middle School for math and at Oregon

Middle School for ELA.

About i-ReadyThe system has several elements

that caused the district to move for-ward, Cannetti said. It is an adaptive assessment, so if a student is working on harder questions but getting them wrong, the test will select an easier question to try to prevent frustration or burnout. It also changes student to student, and the test takes 45 to 60 minutes. The i-Ready assessment is taken over two days, three times per school year (state assessments typi-cally take 60 to 70 minutes over two days per year).

The test is completely comput-er-based and solves the delay in getting results back. According to administrators, the results are imme-diate and give teachers “actionable insight on student needs.”

“If you take the test on Tuesday, we have the results on Tuesday,” Can-netti said. “There is no waiting to get those results back.”

The program also gives a personal-ized learning path for students that teachers can use to guide education, including suggestions on material. And it provides the school district with an opportunity to see how stu-dents are growing within the state’s

learning standards outside of the mandated tests.

The program gives two types of scores: one that compares students with others in their grade level and age, and a second that measures a student’s personal ability compared with the expected ability at that age or level. Reports for students are gen-erated for both teachers and parents.

The district is looking to phase in the program with three grade lev-els next year and another three the following year. To see the full pre-sentation regarding i-Ready, visit pmschools.org and watch the Jan. 27 board of education meeting. n

22 acres of wetlands preservedTown acquires 106 Mastic

Beach parcels for open spaceBY GLENN ROHRBACKER

The Town of Brookhaven recently approved a resolution to purchase more than 22 acres spread over 106 parcels

of land in Mastic Beach for open space. Much of the space is wetlands that are environmental-

ly sensitive. The acquisition is a part-nership with the Nature Conservancy, which is providing a $250,000 grant for the effort.

According to the resolution, the par-

cels were identified for conservation to “protect water quality, provide flood storage in storms and is a wildlife hab-itat.”

Mastic Beach has been a target area for the conservancy for some time, as the area is one of the most sensitive on Long Island to flooding and the threat of sea level rise. Alison Branco, coastal direc-tor for the conservancy, said preserving

the wetlands is a key step in mitigating those effects. The wetlands help to soak up some water, but play a large part in reducing storm energy and surge onto land.

“The goal is to always have a natural shoreline between the people and the shore,” Branco said.

The wetlands act as a “safety barrier” between people and the ocean, and pre-

venting future development helps them to stay active.

“Those wetlands will be able to migrate inland, as long as they’re healthy,” Bran-co said. “Our only choice is to make way for the water.”

A lot of other parcels around this area are already protected by the town, state and county. n

complete counts.

The questions are simple.The census survey asks only 10 ques-

tions. It will ask your name, age and sex and the number of people living in your home. It will also ask your race and His-panic origin and whether you own the home you’re in. A sample version of the survey can be found at www.2020census.gov.

The data directly applies to hundreds of billions in federal money.

The census results will direct federal agencies and Congress on how to spend

billions in federal projects. These include the school lunch program, highway con-struction, Head Start, child care and more. The census results will impact these pro-grams for a decade, until another count is performed.

The results could change your representation in Congress.

The data is used to establish congressio-nal districts in every area of the country. Getting everyone counted ensures ade-quate representation in Congress, which also impacts the number of electoral votes a state has in a presidential election. Redis-tricting will begin around March 2021 and will not apply to the 2020 election cycle.

The data is also used by local governments and private businesses.

Aside from direct spending at the feder-al level, census data is used to decide how state governments spend money. It also can be used by private businesses to do market research in a prospective interest area.

All of your information is confidential and secure.

Census workers are bound by law not to share your private information. Title 13 of the U.S. Code prevents the Census Bureau from releasing any identifiable information about you, your home or your business, even to law enforcement agen-cies. The law ensures that your answers cannot be used against you by any gov-

ernment agency or court. You are also anonymous: The Bureau cannot release your responses in any way that would identify you. Offense of Title 13 is punish-able by a hefty fine or jail time, or both. The online survey is designed to protect against cyber threats; the Census Bureau has a top IT infrastructure to protect your information.

There are questions it will never ask.

The Census Bureau will never ask for your social security number, money or donations and bank or credit card infor-mation. If someone comes to your home,

check to make sure that the person has a valid ID badge with a photograph, a U.S. Department of Commerce watermark and an expiration date. If you are still unsure, call 800-923-8282 to speak with a local Cen-sus Bureau representative.

You can get a job with the Census Bureau.

The Census Bureau is hiring census tak-ers right now, and you can apply online. Jobs have flexible hours, weekly pay and paid training. Visit the job site for more information or to apply: www.2020census.gov/jobs. n

Starting March 12, the U.S. Census Bureau will undertake a full-fledged effort to get everyone counted.

2020 CENSUS: Be countedFROM PAGE 1

What is a wetland?Wetlands are often found near water-ways and in floodplains. According to the National Ocean Service, wetlands vary widely due to differences in soil, topography, climate, water chemistry, and vegetation. Wetland habitats act as water filters, provide flood and erosion control, and establish food and homes for fish and wildlife. During storms, wetlands absorb and slow flooding, which could prevent property damage and even save lives. Wetlands also absorb excess nutrients, sediments, and other pollutants before they reach rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, according to NOS.

Local effort underway to get everyone countedA local Complete Count Coalition has formed to ensure that everyone in the Patchogue, East Patchogue, Medford, Bellport and Brookhaven areas get counted in the census. Local libraries will be leading the effort, and residents can come to the library for trusted information on the census. The coali-tion recently presented information to other community leaders who can act as ambassadors in communities. “We want a complete count,” said one of the committee’s leaders, Jose Hernandez, head of adult services at the Pat-Med Library.

SCPD taps FBI for help in solving 1990 murder case$10,000 reward for info that leads to an arrest

BY NICOLE FUENTES

The FBI has agreed to review infor-mation and evidence in the investiga-tion of the 1990 murder of Detective

Dennis Wustenhoff of the Suffolk Coun-ty Police Depart-ment as per requests

by Suffolk County Police Commission-er Geraldine Hart.

“It has been 30 years, and Detec-tive Wustenhoff ’s murder remains unsolved; therefore, it is important that the department takes advantage of every resource available,” Hart said. “Detective Wustenhoff’s family, along with colleagues from the depart-ment, deserve justice in this case.”

Dennis Wustenhoff was a narcotics detective, working undercover. Prior to his time with the SCPD, he served in Vietnam and was wounded. He came home after surviving the attack, and later, due to Agent Orange, fought and

beat cancer.On February 15, 1990, a “sophisti-

cated” bomb exploded Wustenhoff ’s unmarked white Cadillac at approxi-mately 11:55 a.m. The blast propelled debris 200 feet from the car, the North Patchogue Fire Department reported at the time.

Wustenhoff was transported, alive and conscious, by ambulance to the helicopter to Stony Brook University Hospital where he died several hours later from “extreme trauma to the low-er abdomen and lower extremities.”

According to initial reports, by the following week a search warrant was granted for the Bethpage home of a Nassau police officer. However, no charges were filed against him, and no arrest was ever made.

According to the Wustenhoff chil-dren, at that time their father had a known affair with the wife of the other police officer, something their mother and father were working on as a couple.

“It’s encouraging to see Suffolk take this step in bringing in the FBI to review the case, and we are thank-ful for the FBI’s willingness to help,” said the youngest of the Wustenhoff children, Melissa Scelsi, who recently set up a “Justice for Dennis J. Wusten-hoff” Facebook page that garnered well over 4,000 followers in just weeks. “It’s difficult to believe that someone outsmarted the entirety of the Suf-folk and Nassau County Police Depart-ments for three decades. I truly hope fresh eyes and new motivation will finally bring justice to my father’s murder and closure for our family.”

The Wustenhoff children — Scelsi, Jennifer Lees and Kevin Wustenhoff — and their mother, Fran Wustenhoff, are using the page to ask the public to come forward with details and infor-mation. They also met with the SCPD

earlier this month, pleading with them to actively “reopen” the case.

In addition to the FBI’s assistance, Suffolk County Crime Stoppers pledged a $10,000 fast cash reward for any information that leads to an arrest in this case.

“We are hopeful this fast cash reward will prompt someone with information about this case to come forward,” Suf-folk County Crime Stoppers president

Nick Amarr said. “We urge anyone who believes they have details about Detective Wustenhoff’s death to con-tact police.”

Scelsi said she and her family are very appreciative of SCPD’s com-mitment to a reward. However, she welcomes any other local and federal agencies to help contribute as well, including the PBA, which originally pledged $100,000 back in 1990. n

NORTH PATCHOGUE

SCPD narcotics detective Dennis Wustenhoff, a 41-year-old beloved father and husband, was brutally murdered by a “sophisticated” bomb placed under his unmarked car in front of his Maple Avenue, North Patchogue home in 1990. According to his son, the floorboard of Wustenhoff’s car and the seat’s upholstery, springs and motor were “fired up into his body at a high velocity and basically destroyed his insides.”

PART II

Returning to the sceneBY BRIAN CURRY

February 15, 1990 at 11:50 a.m.: Life for-ever changed for Fran Wustenhoff and her three children, Jennifer (14 at the time), Kevin (12) and Melissa (10).

It was at that moment that their father, Dennis, left his home on Maple Ave-nue in North Patchogue, preparing to go to work as an undercover narcotics detective with the Suffolk County Police Department.

As he sat down in the driver’s seat of his white Cadillac (a county undercover vehicle), an explosion was detonated that shook this quiet residential (stereotypi-cal suburban) street.

Wustenhoff would die later that day in the trauma unit of Stony Brook Hospital.

“I actually hate the word ‘February,’” his daughter Melissa said. “Every year, the season, the weather — it all brings it right back.” Melissa, now 40, has become the de facto spokesperson for the family as the 30th anniversary of the murder is now upon us.

The 30th anniversary of any murder, albeit an unsolved one, outside of the family of the deceased usually fades into the background. But now due mostly to the phenomenon of social media, it has made the Wustenhoff case if not a front-page story again, certainly an active issue.

A new Facebook page started by Melis-sa, “Justice for Dennis J. Wustenhoff,” has in a few short weeks garnered over 4,300 members, and the attendant buzz around that rapid rise has resulted in

new media attention on the case by everyone from News12 to WCBS Newsra-dio 880, with more happening daily.

Jennifer, now 44, emphasized, “This is not a new ‘Why now?’ moment for us. We have spoken to the police, the district attorney and other agencies through the years. This is not for a lack of trying; we feel we have been brushed under the rug.”

“We are hoping that now, 30 years later, that this new exposure may cause

people who may know information, who, for what-ever reason back then were

afraid to come forward, to do so.”Melissa added, “We are certainly

looking for a reopening of the case and an increased awareness that this is an unsolved murder of an active police offi-cer, no less. We feel we have to do some-thing.”

Kevin, now 42, added, “This world of social media is new uncharted waters for us, but we are not cowering away. This has been incredibly painful for all of us growing up and to this day. I know it is terrible for my mother to hear, but they need to know how he suffered.”

Dennis’s widow, Fran, spoke up: “No innocent child should have to go through this. My children have lived with this every single day for the last 30 years. The pain does not lessen — it gets worse. They can’t take it anymore; enough is enough.”

My next question was for Kevin alone. In something that I had always wondered from afar, Kevin had actually followed

in his father’s footsteps and become a Suffolk police officer. Why, with all the media circus, the controversy and just the raw feelings, would he willingly enter that world?

“It is both the simplest and most com-plicated answer,” Kevin reflected. Like any son (Kevin was 12 at the time), I idolized my father and saw his job as doing the right thing, helping others and fighting drugs.”

“From that terrible day, we were under the wing of the SCPD. They called to make sure I did my homework; they were

there for every prom, every graduation. They willingly took time out of their lives to make sure my sisters and I would have a future.”

“I know some people thought that I was joining to have a Hollywood ending — that I would be the one to arrest my father’s killer and walk him into the police station. That isn’t why.”

All they want is justice for their father and husband, Detective Dennis J. Wustenhoff. n

Barbara C. MichelsenBorn March 30, 1941 in Brooklyn, NY

Passed February 11, 2020 in Patchogue, NY

Barbara Michelsen of East Patchogue, NY received her bachelor’s degree in Biology from Wells College and worked in the Ecology Department of Brookhaven National Laboratory. Her work was an integral part of the ban of DDT pesticide and aided in the rescuing the Osprey and Bald Eagle population from near extinction. Barbara held

many jobs in the community through her life that included proofreading for the Long Island Advance in its early years; a real estate agent; a personal property appraiser/antique dealer; and a needlework artist/teacher. Barbara was also involved with the Bellport Brookhaven Historical Society and the Brookhaven Free Library, and she had been a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Barbara is predeceased by her brother Robert F. Cartwright Jr. of Coal Valley, IL and is survived by her sister Cynthia Cartwright of Brooklyn, NY. Barbara leaves behind her children Christian F. Michelsen and her daughter Adele Michelsen (spouse Clifton Spells). She was Nana to Diana (husband Rudal) Partap, Daniel Batton, and Jul-lys Spells; and Great Grandmother to Ibrahim and Hasan Partap. In addition, “Nana” was a surrogate grandparent/great-grandparent to her in-law grandchildren, step-grandchildren, step- great-grandchildren, as well as extended community grandchildren.

Barbara was laid to rest shortly after her passing and plans for a memorial party in her honor during warmer weather are in the works.

Donations in her memory can be made to the “It’s Personal” campaign that provides feminine hygiene products to women in homeless/domestic violence shelters: It’s Personal Campaign c/o Islamic Center of Mastic Shirley, 503 William Floyd Parkway, Shirley, NY 11967.

Dental care begins soon after birth. After each feeding, gently wipe the baby’s gums with a soft, damp cloth. Teething is the next step. To help soothe the baby, a cool teething ring can be a big help. When the teeth first appear, they should be cleaned daily with a children’s soft toothbrush. This prepares the child for their first dental visit. It’s OK if the baby wants to chew the toothbrush to soothe the teething soreness. Some actually prefer it over the teething ring. Be sure to check the toothbrush for breakdown, and if so, replace it. One com-mon problem is “baby bottle tooth decay.” This occurs when the baby is given a bottle with milk, formula, juices, soda or a pacifier dipped in honey, juice or soda. Only a bottle with water should be given to the baby to fall asleep.

The eruption of baby teeth occurs between 6 months and 3 years of age. At 5, the first adult tooth, a molar, erupts. Up to the age of about 5 or 6, an adult should still brush the child’s teeth. As the child’s independence develops, try to “check the good brushing job” by going over it all once again. It is easiest if you stand behind the child and brush their teeth as if they were your own. It is important to maintain the baby teeth because they guide the perma-nent teeth into their proper position.

A child’s first visit should be no later than 3 years of age and should be a happy experience. Merely tell the child the dentist is only going to count the teeth with a tooth counter (explorer and mirror), polish their teeth with a tooth tickler, and place a spe-cial flavored sauce on their teeth to make them really strong (fluoride). Do not say the “H” word “hurt,” as in, “It won’t hurt.” Try to put the visit in a very positive perspective. Then maintain dental health with mainte-nance visits.

One way to prevent cavities in the future is to have sealants placed on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Sealants are a hard composite flowed and bonded into the grooves of the teeth. This blocks bacteria from getting into the grooves and starting decay. Most sealants last about two years and then may need to be reapplied.

To celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month, Dr. Graskemper is provid-ing a “Kids Helping Kids Special”—an exam, X-rays, cleaning and fluoride treat-ment for ages 3-12 for $100 (regularly $283) and $2 goes to Patchogue Kiwan-is Children’s Fund. Call Dr. Joseph P. Graskemper, The Bellport Village Dentist, for an appointment today at 631-286-4243 or visit bellportvillagedentist.com.

Homes should be safe havens. But each year injuries in and around the home contribute to millions of medical visits and many fatalities each year.

Although anywhere in a home can be the scene of an accident, bath-rooms tend to be the most danger-ous room in the house. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say falls, which can result in seri-ous injuries like hip fractures and head trauma, are the cause of 80 percent of all bathroom accidents.

Many bathroom accidents are pre-ventable with some easy modifica-tions.

1. Reduce slippery surfaces. Wet tile is a recipe for slick conditions. Bath rugs with rubber backing can provide traction in the bathroom, as can nonslip mats placed on the floor of the bathtub or shower enclosure.

2. Install lever-style fixtures. Round knobs in the bathroom can be difficult to grasp, especially for the elderly or those with arthritis.

3. Utilize transfer benches and shower seats. A transfer bench can help reduce injuries that occur when trying to climb over a tub

wall. Benches are placed outside of the tub and a person sits and then swings his legs over the ledge.

4. Discard old medications. Clean out the medicine cabinet of old or expired medications, including both prescription and over-the-counter drugs. This reduces the likelihood of medication confusion and does not put potentially harmful pills and syrups into the hands of chil-dren.

5. Install grab bars. Proper-ly installed grab bars around the shower and the toilet area can pro-vide leverage and stability. AARP says many injuries to seniors occur when they are attempting to sit on or get up from the toilet. Grab bars or an elevated toilet seat can help.

6. Install motion-detecting lights. These lights turn on automatically upon detecting movement, making them beneficial for people who rou-tinely visit the bathroom in the mid-dle of the night.

Bathroom safety should be made a priority. Various modifications can make bathrooms safer for people of all ages. ✿

EDITORIAL Hundreds rally for housing affordability on Capitol Hill

One in six families in the Unit-ed States spends more than half its income every month on housing. For many, the trade-off of covering the cost for a safe place to live means sacrific-ing other basic needs, like food, health care and transportation.

This week, Lee Silberman, Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk’s chief exec-utive officer and executive director, joined hundreds of other local Habi-tat organizations, volunteers, partners and low-income families in Washing-ton, D.C. and around the country to speak up about how unacceptable it is for people to have to make those kinds of choices. This is the first year Habitat Suffolk has participated in Habitat on the Hill.

“We want to encourage our local, state and federal legislators to support policies that promote greater access to safe, decent and affordable hous-ing,” said Silberman. “The need has reached critical levels. Fifty percent of all families in Suffolk County are hous-ing-burdened, and one in five families pay over 50 percent of their income on housing.”

Through Cost of Home — Habitat’s national advocacy campaign — Habitat

is expanding efforts to influence policy and systems change at the local, state and federal level in four key areas: supply and preservation of affordable homes; equitable access to credit; land use; and communities of opportuni-ty. The organization aims to improve home affordability for 10 million indi-viduals through advocacy over the five-year campaign.

On Wednesday, Habitat leaders ral-lied on Capitol Hill and met with fed-eral policymakers to advocate for the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act (NHIA), a policy priority of the Cost of Home campaign. This important legis-lation will revitalize distressed neigh-borhoods by using federal income tax credits to incentivize private invest-ment to build and substantially reha-bilitate homes for low- and moder-ate-income homeowners.

Additionally, Silberman met with legislative aides representing Rep. Zel-din, Rep. Suozzi, Rep. Rice and Sen. Schumer to discuss the benefits of affordable housing legislation and the need for funding to finance the devel-opment of new, affordable homes in Suffolk County.

“We are calling on lawmakers and

candidates at all levels of government to prioritize housing and budget solu-tions that support efforts to build and maintain affordable housing,” said Chris Vincent, vice president of gov-ernment relations and advocacy for Habitat for Humanity International. “Supporting and implementing legis-lation like the Neighborhood Home Investment Act is a critical step toward making the #CostOfHome something we all can afford.”

The Home Depot Foundation is the premier sponsor of Habitat on the Hill 2020. Since 2011, the Foundation has donated over $22 million to Habitat for Humanity International, including this year’s contribution of over $3 mil-lion, to help build, repair or rehabili-tate more than 1,300 homes in partner-ship with U.S. military veterans and their families through Habitat’s Repair Corps. The Home Depot Foundation is also committed to supporting commu-nities impacted by natural disaster and donates to Habitat’s disaster response, sustainable building practices and oth-er initiatives to further Habitat’s mis-sion of a world where everyone has a decent and affordable place to live. n

It’s really important

to be countedNational Census Day:

April 1, 2020

The United States Census of 2020 will be the 24th United States Census.

The count only happens every 10 years, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution since 1790, and it is up to you to make sure that you are counted.

Invitations to respond will be delivered between March 12 and 20. Once you receive that invitation, you can respond online, by phone or by mail.

Your response matters for every-thing from school funding, fire departments, health clinics and even roads and highways, as the data collected helps determine how billions of dollars in federal funding are allocated as well as how many seats in Congress each state gets.

The census is more than a pop-ulation count; it is your chance to shape the future of your communi-ty.

What will be asked?The census is a simple question-

naire about yourself and everyone who is living with you as of April 1, 2020. Questions will include “Who lives with you? What type of home is it? What is your phone number?” You will also be prompt-ed to include your name and sex, date of birth and race.

Did you know?The counting is a massive under-

taking, which actually begins in remote Alaska with counting first a rural village in January. House-holds begin receiving invitations to respond in March, then by the end of March/beginning of April, the Census Bureau begins count-ing the homeless. By April 1, Cen-sus Day, every home has officially received the invitation, and cen-sus takers begin visiting colleges and senior centers to promote response.

Then come May, the census tak-ers visit homes to promote further response, and then come Decem-ber, the U.S. Census Bureau will deliver apportionment counts to the president and to Congress. Lastly, in March of 2021, redis-tricting begins; the information collected is used to redraw legisla-tive districts based on population.

Also, the Census Bureau is bound by law to protect your answers and keep them strictly confidential.

Mastic man celebrates 100 years

Mastic resident Sal Adip-ierto celebrated his 100th birthday on February 8, 2020, surrounded by his friends and family. Sal was born on February 10, 1920 and grew up in Brooklyn. A first-generation Ital-ian-American whose par-ents emigrated from Caser-ta, Italy, he started working at the age of 10 to help sup-port his family after both of his parents died. He met and married the love of his life, Peggy, at the age of 21. They have three children. He fell in love with the Mas-tic/Shirley community after vacationing in the area, and in 1956 he decided to move to Mastic, where he became a Realtor. In 1959, Sal opened Adipierto Real Estate to sell homes in the community he loves. He is a charter member of the Kiwanis and a member of the Shirley

Property Owners, and still very involved in the Cham-ber of Commerce. Sal has seven grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, and he still lives in the same house he purchased in 1956. When Sal was born in 1920, Woodrow Wilson was pres-ident of the United States; the Treaty of Versailles took effect, officially end-ing World War I; and Pro-hibition was established after the ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment. “Sal has had an amazing life throughout this past 100 years,” said Legis. Rudy A. Sunderman (R-Mastic). “I wish him health and hap-piness for many years to come.” Pictured are Sal Adipierto and Legis. Sun-derman, who presented Sal with a proclamation at his 100th birthday celebration.

The 150th anniversary of the 15th Amendment

Don’t tax the homeowners:Suffolk County’s Septic Improvement Program

Black History MonthBY ROB CALARCO

PRESIDING OFFICER, SUFFOLK COUNTY LEGISLATURE

Suffolk County residents will have the opportunity to head to the polls multiple times this year: for special elections, for primaries and for a general election that will determine the U.S. presidency. But the right to vote was not always guaran-teed.

2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote, and the 150th anniversary of the ratification of the 15th Amendment, which prohibits the government from denying a citizen’s right to vote based on “race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” It is no wonder, then, that the theme of this year’s Black History Month observance is “African Americans and the Vote.”

This month is a time to honor those like Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose storied legacy includes the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and immense contri-butions to the civil rights movement. It is also a time to recognize Suffolk County’s own black heroes.

There was Pyrrhus Concer, a whaler and entrepreneur who was born a slave in Southampton in 1814. As a free man, he settled in Southampton, where he operat-ed a ferry service. The stone that marks his grave bears this inscription: “Though

born a slave he possessed virtues without which kings are but slaves.” James T. Johnathan, an African-American entre-preneur, was a self-taught photographer who documented Bay Shore in the early 20th century.

In Suffolk County’s more recent his-tory, the first African-American legis-lator, Elie Mystal, was elected in 2004. His successor, DuWayne Gregory, would go on to serve as Suffolk County’s first African-American presiding officer. Errol Toulon Jr. in 2018 became our first African-American sheriff and the first African-American elected to a non-ju-dicial countywide position. And Victo-ria Gumbs-Moore this year became the first black Family Court judge in Suffolk County as well as the first black woman elected to countywide office.

More locally, the Patchogue-Medford Hall of Fame is full of trailblazers. East Patchogue-born Denise Jefferson Casper, for example, was the first black female judge to serve on the federal bench in Massachusetts. There’s also the late W. Burghardt Turner, who was one of the first African-American teachers here in Patchogue. He tirelessly crusaded for civ-il rights on Long Island and helped to found the local chapter of the NAACP. He also was chairperson of the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission and the Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk County; as one of the first Afri-can-American faculty members at Stony Brook University, he introduced courses

in African-American history as well as Native American history. A fellowship program for underrepresented minori-ties there now carries his name.

Of course, there have been many other important figures, too many to name, but all of whom we honor this month.

Even with all of this progress and pioneering we should not rest, as there are still challenges we must face head-on. Our county workforce overall — and even the makeup of our 18-member legis-lature — does not reflect the demograph-ics of our constituents, and we have seen how racial issues continue to play a role in so many facets of society, including our local housing market.

That stops now. 2020 is ramping up to be the year that diversity in Suffolk County gets the attention it deserves, with two major changes in county gov-ernment that will help stamp out dis-crimination that has been perpetuated for far too long.

First, as presiding officer of the Suffolk County Legislature, I have raised the issue of diversity to a committee level. The need to increase diversity in county hiring and in our neighborhoods is great, as we have seen through reports com-ing out of our Civil Service department and recent news investigations. Starting this year, the legislative committee — whose jurisdiction includes government operations, personnel and information technology — is also taking up diversity. This will put a spotlight on the issue and

ensure that giving all residents equal access to jobs and housing stays at the forefront of our priorities and discus-sions.

Second, on Feb. 11 the Suffolk County Legislature approved the county execu-tive’s proposal to create a new position in county government: a Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. This new hire will focus on improving diversity in county hiring and personnel practices, as well as identifying, evaluating and making rec-ommendations to improve work teams. Part of her challenge will be reaching out to untapped pools of potential employees who might not normally consider work-ing in government. It is critically import-ant that our public sector employee pop-ulation better represent Suffolk’s con-stituent population, because at its heart, government is all about representation.

Diversity is good for us all. It makes our businesses more engaged, our com-munities stronger and our collective mindset more connected and open. Pro-moting diversity is how we will all learn to understand one another and work together to keep Suffolk County a place we all love to call home.

As we celebrate Black History Month, may we remember not only the national historical figures who lit the torch of change, but also the local ones who con-tinue to carry it, in ways both big and small. May we join them in protecting our country and our democracy and pro-moting peace and equality.

BY PERRY GERSHON CANDIDATE, NY-1

When a county program for the public good is challenged or adversely targeted by the federal government, the job of our local congressman is to step up and defend

us. Rep. Tom Suozzi (NY-3) seems to understand. Rep. Lee Zeldin (NY-1) does not. At least that is the case

with the IRS decision to tax homeowners who participate in Suffolk County’s Septic Improvement Program (SIP).

Suffolk County has a water crisis. We must do all we can to control our nitrogen waste to protect our drinking water, our soil, our rivers and bays. The county and many of our towns have initiated rebate programs to encourage homeowners to install clean, nitrogen removing septic sys-tems. Suffolk County’s SIP has become a political football, and it’s the public and the environment that are the losers. It should be viewed as a public good. Both federal and local policy should be supporting it, and one must wonder why they are not?

SIP directs county payments directly to contractors, bypassing individual partici-pants. By design, there is no income flow-ing to the homeowner. Suffolk County’s tax counsel delivered an opinion to the county attorney ruling that 1099 forms from SIP should go to contractors, and not to con-sumers. This should have been the end of the story. However, Suffolk County Comp-

troller John Kennedy, while engaged in a campaign against County Executive Steve Bellone during the elections last year, dis-agreed with the tax opinion and inquired of the IRS if county payments might be taxable to homeowners? The IRS, in the last 30 days, ignored protestations from the county and Sen. Chuck Schumer and issued a letter telling Suffolk County to report personal income to the homeown-ers. Unsuspecting homeowners are now receiving 1099 forms reporting unforeseen additional taxable personal income. The new tax will diminish participation in the program, and we all lose.

What can be done? Bellone and his administration are working to come up with alternative structures for the SIP program. Perhaps more can be done to clarify that transactions are between the county and the contractors to satisfy the IRS? Or perhaps an offsetting tax rebate can be legislated? Rep. Suozzi (NY-3) has written a letter to the IRS demanding they reconsider the decision. But Rep. Zeldin remains silent. Instead of joining Suozzi, Zeldin seems to support his fellow Republi-can John Kennedy and once again ignores ways to save money for his constituents.

Does this surprise you? It should not, given Zeldin’s poor record historically on environmental and financial matters. Or that Zeldin has recently worked against New Yorkers on the repeal of the SALT cap and on Trump’s retaliation against the state by suspending New York applications

to the Trusted Traveler program. Zeldin’s Twitter feed offers perpetual praise of the president, attacks on our governor, but not a word on the septic taxation issue (or on the harmful SALT cap for that matter).

Long Island needs representatives who will work for us — who have our back when the federal government takes shots at us. Zel-din doesn’t fight for us. We have a chance in November to show him how wrong that is.

Branford Marsalis celebrates his saxJazz musician’s next venue

on a six-country tour: Patchogue Theatre on

Thursday, Feb. 27

BY LINDA LEUZZI

“An Evening with Branford Marsalis” is coming to Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. Marsalis, known for his brilliant soprano and tenor saxophone playing, has a daunting list of musical credits, but here’s the short form. Including many world tours, he’s incorporated classical performances with leading orchestras in the U.S. and Europe into his repertoire, appeared and performed in the Spike Lee film “School Daze” and was musical leader of “The Tonight Show with Jay

Leno.” He’s collabo-rated with Sting, The Grateful Dead, Dizzy Gillespie, Harry Con-

nick Jr. and others. He founded his own label, teaches at universities, has three Grammys, was designated Jazz Mas-ter by the National Endowment for the Arts and has committed to humanitar-ian efforts. So far, there are 32 releases under his belt, including albums, singles & EPs, compilations and videos. The Marsalis family — which includes dad Ellis and brothers Wynton, Delfeayo and Jason — is considered the “First Family of Jazz.”

Long Island Advance: You’re the son of pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis, and your mom was a jazz singer, so music was swirling all over the place in your New Orleans home. But I understand it was your dad who made you first pick an instrument, and it was the clarinet. Also, your mom, Dolores, could be blisteringly honest if she thought your music wasn’t good. I think she commented about a Buckshot LeFonque gig she didn’t like. Talk about what your dad imparted.

Branford Marsalis: Both of them did. Just ask my students: I’m like my moth-

er er. At one of the universities where I teach, Jazz at Lincoln Center (the orga-nization produces an extensive range of education and advocacy programs for all ages), one student said how Wynton and I teach similarly. It’s cogent like my dad; his teach-ing philosophy was Socratic, and the older guys I played with were similar, except they used dirty jokes and humor. My dad was more interested in his stu-dents arriving at answers themselves, which is very different from teachers up north, so I got to appreciate that a lot more and I try to do that with my students, for them to get to conclusions themselves so they can embrace prob-lem solving. (As for picking an instru-ment) I just wanted to get off the piano and didn’t know what to play. I initially wanted to play trumpet and Wynton already played it, and my dad wasn’t going to have two kids playing the same instrument. My dad was really smart in nixing that idea. He was performing with Al Hirt at the time, and their clar-inetist said he could get me a clarinet if I wanted one. I was 7 then. I switched to the saxophone at 15. Mom, she had strong opinions and she voiced them. When you grow up in that atmosphere, you become that or become a victim, and so we all have strong opinions.

What was the first band you worked with as a teen, playing saxophone?

It was The Creators and we were a Top 40 R&B band, and I started out playing the piano in 1974. It confirmed how much I didn’t like playing piano, so I found a piano player to do that and switched to sax. By 1976 I was playing sax, and in 1976, Wynton joined.

I remember you saying that you rehearse while playing gigs.

Yeah, the gigs are our rehearsal. The thing that makes jazz exciting is the

group’s ability to think like one enti-ty, so you can hear and see how the group makes eye contact and how they interact. I always want to play for peo-ple and not musicians, and wanted an

organic approach and not a harmonic approach; that’s a learned experience. In music you can find a niche where you can play. The rehearsal will help you understand the form, but no one

will help you understand the speed and how we react to one another, and it’s really exciting to be with these kind of musicians — they have a massive sound vocabulary. (The Branford Marsalis Quartet consists of Joey Calderazzo, on piano, and Eric Revis, on bass; both have been with Marsalis for 20 years. Justin Faulkner, on drums, has played with the quartet since 2009.) For me … it’s fun to be on stage with those guys.

You have an amazing repertoire. You’ve said that when you die, you want to have said that you lived and did different things. So what fuels that?

I don’t know, but I’m glad I have it. I want to know what every chord is and to make mistakes. The advantage I have is that I have a sound vocabulary. I started out with rock ’n’ roll bands and R&B. I knew The Police’s records and figured out what my function would be in the group. I started to figure out my own thing, what a band sounds like, instead of charging in. You can make mistakes and not be afraid.

You’ve commented you’re the leader, but not necessarily the one with all the good ideas. It sounds like each release is a collaboration with all of you, even if you question something you don’t like.

I evolved there. My first instinct is to say ‘It’s not gonna work,’ then ‘Let’s try it’ and then ‘I’m glad I tried it.’ I give them the credit in the end, but it’s fun to poke fun at it. n

Patchogue Lake invasives removal project moves forward10 water-quality projects

recommended for fundingBY RANDALL WASZYNSKI

Ten of 21 applications requesting funding from Suffolk County for various water-quality improvements were rec-ommended by the county’s Water Qual-ity Protection and Restoration Program Committee last Thursday.

Although the committee had cited a $1.5 million cap for funding at a meeting in January, the total cost of the 10 recom-mended applications topped $1.7 million.

“We decided that we could do more because we are getting back $1 million to the fund in closing out some pre-vious projects,” said Frank Castelli, the program’s director, adding that the majority of that money coming back was from projects from multiple years back. “Because we are putting approximately $1 million back in the fund, we have allowed ourselves to go a little bit higher on the recommendations.”

Applications recommended for fund-ing by the committee span across the county and were submitted by multi-ple townships, incorporated villages and other interested parties. One of the 10

receiving recommendation was submit-ted by the county’s Department of Public Works to remove invasive plant species from Great Patchogue Lake, an applica-tion requesting $250,000 from the county.

Another notable recommendation from the committee was an application

submitted by the Town of Brookhaven for storm water and flood mitigation at Patchogue Bay. Car-

rying out the project would allow for the filtration and collection of sediments before they enter the bay. It would reduce nitrogen discharge in the bay by approxi-mately 46 percent, sediment discharge by 81 percent, phosphorus discharge by 52 percent and biochemical oxygen demand by almost 63 percent. This application also requests $250,000 from the county.

Although some projects’ requests for funding were rejected, several others

not recommended were redirected for recommendation to other county funds, considering those projects’ contents. Multiple projects were pushed to a fund that considers projects requesting addi-tional funding to an ongoing project.

Also, four applications that indicate septic system upgrades were pushed to the county’s Sewer Infrastructure Com-mittee, as that committee makes recom-mendations for a separate fund that is more specific to those types of projects. The committee will meet on March 5 in Hauppauge and could recommend the projects pushed by the WQPRP commit-tee.

The application submitted by Bay-port-Blue Point Library for an upgraded septic system at its purchased property on Middle Road was one of four projects redirected to the Sewer Infrastructure Committee. This application requests $250,000. n

Vietnam assignments have been given two local Army men, Privates 1/c Paul A. LaGrega of Patchogue and Anthony V. Martinez of Medford. Pvt. LaGrega is a field wireman with the 83rd Field Artillery. Pvt. Martinez serves as artilleryman with the 199th Light Infantry Brigade.

The Patchogue Kiwanis Club recently honored coach Henry Read for his undefeated football season this past year and his many years of service at Seton Hall High School at a dinner held at Tojen’s restaurant. Mr. Read has been coaching at Seton Hall since 1939. There to present the honors were Jim McPeak, president of the Kiwanis Club, program

chairman Ted Rickman and John Schmitt of the New York Jets, an alumnus of Seton Hall and former player.

Happiness for Mr. and Mrs. Edward R. Ehrhardt was that first moment together after the wedding ceremony in St. Sylvester’s R.C. Church, Medford, Jan. 31. The couple greeted their guests at 112 Lounge, Medford, and spent a week at Nassau in the Bahamas before making their home in Patchogue. The bride is the former Miss Barbara J. Cassino of Patchogue.

Enter Patchogue’s first win of the season last Friday as the Raiders beat Ward Melville, 68-62, on the losers’ court. Patchogue’s lucky number is 13 and for those who are superstitious, it was Friday the 13th. And to show that two wrongs do make a right, Patchogue had lost their first 13 games. What was the magic potion that gave the previously winless Raiders their first triumph? Coach Don Campbell said jokingly, “Prayer.” Then he responded that it “was a mixture of good shooting and hitting the open man. We didn’t throw as many balls away as we did in previous games. Plus, we had a bundle of confidence and the fans’ support was excellent.”

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McKenna of Patchogue announce the engagement of their daughter, Linda, to R. Kirk Ridgeway of Miller Place. Miss McKenna is a graduate of the State University at Oneonta, N.Y. She is teaching fourth grade in Stony Brook. Mr. Ridgeway, a gymnast at Springfield College, Springfield, Mass., will graduate in June. A June wedding is planned.

A group of friends from Bellport and Brookhaven visited Mr. and Mrs. Vernon O’Rourke in their new home on Shelter Island Saturday.

Miss Julie Bergin, daughter of Mrs.

Edward J. Bergin of Thornhedge Road, Bellport, celebrated her 17th birthday Monday night with a dinner party for a few friends.

Katrina Bergskaug, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bergskaug of General McLean Drive, celebrated her 9th birthday belatedly with a Valentine party for a group of her friends Saturday afternoon. Her birthday falls so near Christmas that she celebrates it at a later date.

Mr. and Mrs. Philip Butler and two-month-old son, Jeffrey, have moved to their new home in Oceanside. Mrs. Butler is the former Miss Donna Grucci, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Felix Grucci of Station Road.

Bellporters staying at the Hillsboro Club, Pompano Beach, Fla., are the Merrill Footes, Cyril Redmonds, Horatio Grays and Mrs. Robert B. Lea.

Anthony Magee made the billboard and poster in the back of Our Lady of the Snow Church, Blue Point, which many people have inquired about.

Lyn Mulligan, Karen Adams, Barbara Weiler and Maureen Houston together with Eileen Harper, Gill Roberts, Debbie Murphy, Kelly Adams, Kathy Currarie and Denise Kelly have formed a cheerleaders team with their coach, Mrs. Marilyn Antonacci. The girls will appear in their new uniforms Tuesday evening, when Our Lady of the Snow CYO basketball team plays St. John Nepomucene of Bohemia at the Academy Street School.

Playing this week at the Patchogue Theatre: “Funny Girl,” starring Barbra Streisand and Omar Sharif; at the Plaza Theatre: “Midnight Cowboy,” with Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight; and at the Rialto Theatre: Robert Redford in “Downhill Racer.”

From the Feb. 22, 1945 edition: GETS A TOW-HOLD – When it comes to wrestling with a problem, leave it to Charles Conklin of Patchogue, shown here at the wheel of his midget automobile (left) as he demonstrates “tow-ability” of the vehicle. Mr. Conklin did not complain about the icy condition of the “roads” on the bay.

Rosalind saves the dayThe Gateway offers

Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’ this weekend

BY LINDA LEUZZI

In a nod to its roots, The Gateway is offering Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” on Feb. 21, 23 and 23, a dynamic inclusion that celebrates the theater’s 70th year and embraces a classic but timely theme.

“We’re the oldest professional theater on Long Island with many friends and gener-ations. So it was a reflection of where we came from,” said Gateway vice president of development and public relations Scot

Allan, referring to actors Robert Duvall and Gene

Hackman, who emoted in Shakespearean works in the 1950s in Gateway’s red barn.

Two of the reasons why Shakespeare’s work remains relevant today include his sense of humor and that he portrayed women intelligently.

“He really found a voice for females,” agreed director Vanessa Morosco. “Females weren’t allowed on stage then. (Shakespeare wrote “As You Like It” in 1599.) It was 1666 before they were allowed to act. We give a voice by employing wom-en and in exploring gender identity, so this play speaks to our time.”

Ten professional actors comprise this production. Marty Timlin fans take heart: the young scene-stealer will play Adam, the young servant to Orlando.

The play is an energetic, fun rouser, with Rosalind finding herself at the mercy of her dastardly duke uncle, who usurps Rosalind’s father from his own court, eventually banishing his niece. Rosalind

disguises herself as a man and flees with the duke’s daughter and best friend Celia in the magical forest of Arden to find her exiled father, who likes his new role there as a Robin Hood type. There Rosalind meets up again with the love of her life, Orlando, except he doesn’t know it just yet. There’s a court jester, a wrestling match and other sur-prises.

Theatergoers will be in for a treat with the Shakespeare-steeped talent of Moros-co as director and her huge roster of cred-its from the American Shakespeare Cen-ter and Barefoot Shakespeare Company.

Annabelle Rollison, who plays Rosalind, is a well-known actor at both theaters. Her love interest, Orlando, is played by Sam-uel Adams, who is reprising his role from the Academy for Classical Acting with

Shakespeare The-atre Company.

“Celia is dis-guised as a shep-herdess, there’s a hilarious fool and they meet interesting char-acters,” Moros-co emphasized.

“Rosalind encounters the man she loves and tries to teach him how to woo her.”

Gregory Jon Phelps, who has performed in 20 Shakespeare productions and Sara

Hymes, who’s appeared in 10, are writing music for the show and aiding the creative team. They’ll also act in the production.

There are five songs in the play. So while the words are Shakespeare’s, how do they compose music and make it more contemporary?

“We all decided as a team in the urban setting for the duke’s home,” said Hymes. “So we wanted something high-tech, elec-tronic — something that wasn’t around the campfire. Then there’s a shift to the forest. The characters are all storytellers, and we wanted to ground that with a musical style. So it’s shaped with an elec-tric banjo, mandolin and fiddle and hand percussion.”

“It’s more of a bluegrass/Americana with edge,” explained Phelps. The cos-tumes will be contemporary.”

All Shakespeare’s sets were lit by the sun or by candlelight,” Morosco revealed. “What we’ve done is use Gateway’s resources; we’ll be using projections for the sets.”

Don’t be afraid of the language; you’ll get it, including the famous speech, “All the World’s a Stage.”

“What we’ve done is collect expert Shakespeare practitioners,” Phelps said. “Their ability to communicate thought is extraordinary. You know what’s intend-ed.”

“As You Like It” is one of Shake-speare’s most adored comedies, Morosco said. “I think one of the reasons Shake-speare continues to survive is that he taps into our humanity,” she said. “He wasn’t afraid of allowing humor and puts it to a heroine ready to solve a problem. He wasn’t appealing to the elitists. That’s why he was so popular. He managed to appeal to all classes.” n

tendent Dr. Donna Jones, the district’s first African-American superinten-dent, spoke of her family’s solid values, her faith and efforts as a single moth-er raising four daughters. She also shared how her experiences solidified

her commitment to the students and parents she sees daily who struggle with challenges.

“It’s my opportunity to give back that love to those I serve every day,” Jones said. n
