Comsewogue sophomore collects, donates hygiene products for less fortunate Inspired by a leadership camp she attended over the summer, Comsewogue High School sophomore Isabella Gordon identified a problem in her community and took it upon herself to fix it. Before she knew it, her bedroom was piled high with feminine hygiene products set for donation.

Isabella, 15, said she had been interested in attending the Eleanor Roosevelt Girls’ Leadership Worldwide camp, a program offered by the Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill in Hyde Park aimed at helping attendees gain confidence, develop a voice and unlock one’s leadership potential, ever since her older sister Amanda attended more than a decade ago. She went this past summer and met young women from around the world, and upon returning home, she was struck with an idea.

The teenager said she came across a video on YouTube that detailed the difficulty homeless women on their menstrual cycle have in obtaining hygiene products and wasted little time springing to action.

“I was interested and talked to my mom that night and was like, ‘Hey, I want to work on

this,’” she said following a Comsewogue board of education meeting Nov. 5, where her mom Ali Gordon has served on the board for three terms. “So for the next week or so me and my sister were kind of just thinking up names for it and we ended up with Hygiene For All, came up with a mission statement, because I felt so passionate about it.”

Isabella said she set up a Facebook page for her newly formed initiative and asked people to

donate products for her cause by sending them to her home. Eventually her bedroom was piled with items in bins waiting to be distributed to those who needed them. Bethpage-based nonprofit food bank Island Harvest organized a “stuff-abus” event Oct. 6 at Comsewogue’s homecoming football game, during which attendees of the game were encouraged to bring food items to be donated to those in need. Isabella and Hygiene For All provided the food bank with more than

100 boxes of feminine hygiene products, dozens of toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, and deodorants. In all the haul amassed nearly 300 pounds, according to the mother.

“It was incredibly inspiring to have my 15-yearold come up with the idea,” the BOE member said.

“Inspiring and very exciting. She didn’t need much assistance at all. She had a vision for this and really wanted to be able to help people and she’s done that and plans to continue to do that.”

Isabella said she hopes to one day turn the project into a charitable venture and is already interested in expanding it to more communities and school districts. She said she hopes to pursue a degree in medicine, at this point with her eye on one day becoming a midwife. Feminine hygiene products are among the most requested items for all food pantries, as many homeless and disadvantaged women are forced to choose between spending money on items like these and food, according to Food Bank for New York City, which holds an annual campaign calling for products for women.

“I feel very proud, especially of my community, so I’d say it went pretty well,” Isabella said.

To donate visit Hygiene For All’s Facebook page and send a private message to get the address.

Lighthouse Mission, a Bellport-based mobile food pantry with outreach locations that serve individuals in need across Long Island, including locations in Port Jefferson Station, Rocky Point, Centereach and Coram, feeds about 2,200 people each week thanks to donations and volunteers. The organization is looking for additional donations in the hope of making Thanksgiving and the remaining holiday season special for those who can’t afford to do so.

“During the holidays, paychecks are stretched even thinner with all the extra

expenses and heating bills,” said a Lighthouse Mission press release. “More and more people come to the Lighthouse Mission outreaches looking for help and food during the winter months. Unfortunately, food donations run dangerously low around the holidays.”

Those interested in donating money should visit www.lighthousegive.com. To donate food, drop off items like frozen turkeys, canned vegetables, boxed stuffing, juices, cranberry sauce and desserts at the mission’s Bellport location, 1543 Montauk Highway Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or Saturday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. For more information call 631-758-7584 or visit www.lighthousemission.com.

Suffolk voters expect more political partisanship to come because of paid family leave, a law signed

by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in 2016 and enacted at the beginning of 2018.

san squabbling, but it was hard to say how or when it could ever stop. Stony Brook resident Patrick Leahy said that not enough attention gets paid to local laws that impact people on a day-to-day basis, and the political divisiveness has gotten to the point where people will move from their homes just to live in areas that agree with them politically.

“A person’s actions define their character, not what they say,” Leahy said. “This party wants to do that; the other party wants to do this. As bad as that sounds, that has been happening for a long time before this election.”

Though not all is doom and gloom, according to Port Jefferson Station resident

Tara Braaten. This midterm election saw some high turnout all across the country.

The New York Times reported that, by current estimates, 113 million people came out to vote in these midterms, enco passing 48 percent of the eligible voter population.

This is up from the 2014 midterm elections, which saw only 83 million votes cast.

“I just feel that raising awareness and people being more active and proactive participating is going to have more of a difference to whatever decision being made or outcome,” she said. “We have to have constant vigilance, and it’s still up to us, despite who’s sitting in the chair.”

Long Island Explorium gets grant to help teachers

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Teaching teachers may seem a bit redundant, but the leadership of the nonprofit Long Island Explorium, with funds from the Long Island Community Foundation, said it’s well worth doing.

“Sometimes teachers lose the awe and wonder of their work,” said Angeline Judex, the executive director of the Explorium which is

located in Port Jefferson. “Teaching a teacher will have a multiplying effect, because it’s not just the sciences, it’s how you teach the sciences. It’s not textbook. That’s not how kids learn.”

The LICF, a nonprofit that helps fund other nonprofits and charities, gave the Explorium $15,000 in grant funds for the second year in a row, which will be used to host professional development classes with earth science teachers from the North Babylon School District. These classes will be used to show teachers how to

make certain subjects engaging without requiring large budgets or expensive technology.

The Explorium will host classes on four modules, including earthquakes, weather, heat transfer, and resource management and conservation. One example Judex used for earthquakes was using Jell-O and moving it back and forth to simulate plate tectonics. Teachers could then place structures on top of the gelatin to explain how buildings are constructed to be earthquake-resistant.

“Kids just want to Google things, but I say no, you have to think of the answer,” Judex said.

The LICF has funded a similar project for the Explorium in 2017, where members worked with sixth grade teachers from the William Floyd School District on its earth science modules.

“You can bring your kid to any museum and have them learn, but schools with the teachers is very important, and it’s a very important part of the grant,” said Marie Smith, the director of donor relations and communications for the LICF.

Peer support group for veterans starting up in Port Jefferson A Port Jefferson pastor has a message for veterans struggling with actions taken in their past: you are not alone.

Joining the armed services and venturing overseas, leaving one’s family, being tasked in some cases with taking a life, and in all cases being at least an indirect party to that reality, weighs heavy on a human being’s mind. To try to relieve some of that burden in an informal, judgment-free setting, Pastor Pete Jansson of Island Christian Church in Port Jefferson, in accordance with the Rev. Fred Miller of the Suffolk County American Legion, have established a program called Vet 2 Vet, a peer support group where those who have served and are suffering from “moral injury” can meet with someone who has been through the same as a means of healing.

“Post-traumatic stress is the result of a neardeath experience or witnessing a tragic event such as your fellow troops being blown up or killed,” Miller wrote on the subject. “Moral injury is mental injury caused by being forced to do or witness things against your moral values, such as the killing or harming [of] others, witnessing death, failing to prevent immoral acts of others,

Veterans struggling with their time served in the military now have the option of seeking peer support through a program at Island Christian Church in Port Jefferson.

or giving or receiving orders from authority that are against one’s moral values.”

The program features military members, who have struggled with moral injury themselves previously but have reached a place of inner peace, that have been trained in how to help their fellow veterans deal with moral injury through a Department of Veterans Affairs program. The group

meets on the third Tuesday of each month at Island Christian, first in roundtable group discussions, then pairing off in a “buddy system” format, according to Jansson. So far two meetings have been held and Jansson is hoping to get the word out to boost attendance.

“The bottom line is they’re believing a lie, and we’re trying to identify that lie and then replace

it with truth and that’s where the challenge is,” he said of the idea that carrying out orders while in the military becomes a burden carried by veterans. “There’s this internal struggle that they have as they begin to recognize that they were there for a purpose and asked to perform this task — not asked but ordered — and that they didn’t actually violate a moral code.”

Jansson said the group is prepared to refer attendees for professional mental health services if needed, through the VA or otherwise, but that the idea of the program is to offer an alternative to those hesitant about reaching out for help. He explained why he wanted to be involved in such a program after meeting Miller, who has ties to the American Legion and has dedicated his post-pastoring life to helping veterans.

“I have a real passion for this village and a real desire to meet felt needs in people’s lives,” said Jansson. “We’ve done grief share classes for people that have gone through a tremendous loss. I personally lost my wife to cancer six years ago this month, and so I’ve been through the grief share.”

Those interested in being involved in the program, either in need of support or to help those seeking it, are instructed to contact Jansson at 631-473-9229 or Miller at 631-395-4646.

They say all politics is local.

The national drama of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the potential ties between President Donald Trump’s (R) 2016 campaign and Russian interference in the election experienced an escalation of tensions Nov. 7, one day after the midterm elections, and the response could be heard as far from Washington, D.C., as Port Jefferson Station.

Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions (R) resigned that day in a letter that stated the president requested he do so.

As a result, the left-leaning political action group MoveOn organized nationwide protests called Nobody Is Above the Law — Mueller Protection Rapid Response to take place across the country Nov. 7 at 5 p.m. A few dozen protesters congregated at the corner of routes 112 and 347 to make their voices heard and send a message to Washington. The local activist organization North Country Peace Group acted to mobilize North Shore residents in the aftermath of the news. “[Trump] firing Sessions and everything that he’s been doing since he’s been in the White House is my impetus to get out here,” Ellie Kahana, of Stony Brook, said. “He’s obviously going to try and get rid of Mueller and conceal whatever Mueller is finding out.”

Sessions’ position at the top of the U.S. Department of Justice would ordinarily make him

the person in charge of a special counsel investigation, though he recused himself from that investigation to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest because he campaigned with Trump during 2016. Sessions’ potential removal was long viewed as a signal by his opponents that Trump may be moving to undermine Mueller’s probe or even fire him altogether.

When asked by White House pool reporters if acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, whom Trump appointed, was installed to harm the investigation, Trump called it a “stupid question.” While Trump has referred to the investigation as a “witch hunt” repeatedly on Twitter and in interviews, he has yet to take any steps to conceal its eventual findings or cut off its funding.

“I knew this would happen, in fact I thought it would happen at midnight,” said Lisa Karelis, of East Setauket.

Karelis said the Democrats winning of the U.S. House of Representatives on election night creating the possibility of increased scrutiny triggered Trump’s urgency for a new attorney general. She added Whitaker’s public statements opposing the expanding scope of the Mueller probe prior to his appointment made it clear what the president hoped to accomplish by naming Whitaker acting attorney general.

Members of the U.S. Congress and from both political parties have suggested legislation be advanced to prevent removal of the special counsel.

The bill has also yet to gain enough support to be delivered to Trump’s desk for signature.

Perspective

Rella leaves a lasting impact on Comsewogue and the community What can you accomplish during a 25-year career at Comsewogue School District? Greatness. Let me explain: While I was a sophomore at Comsewogue, we were introduced to Joe Rella as the new teacher in the music department, a quarter century ago. In the months that followed, students started talking about music, band, theater and jazz with an increased frequency not measurable before. Something special was beginning.

I don’t remember which concert it was, winter or spring, but as a junior participating in the newly reinvigorated jazz band, it happened.

We sat playing an upbeat swing-time classic — maybe Glenn Miller’s “In the Mood” or Benny Goodman’s “Sing, Sing, Sing” — and this new teacher stepped away from the conductor’s podium. We stayed cool, kept playing, though we wondered what was happening. He walked to the audience and offered a hand to his wife.

A moment later, this new teacher and his wife were doing the Charleston in front of an audience of parents, while our band played. In that moment, the magic became real. Comsewogue had hired our own “Mr. Holland.” We had our first glimpse of who Rella was.

In the years that followed, class after class grew to appreciate his style — and his impact.

His collaboration with our music educators led to a number of new opportunities for students. We had a pep band at home football games. Our theater performances recruited more students, some discovering talent they didn’t know they had. Even more, they found confidence, overcame shyness and lifted each other to perform at higher levels. This influence benefited all the district’s high school students when he became principal in the 1998-99 school year. How he found the time to continue to accompany students in their musical endeavors, I don’t know.

Rella’s appointment as Comsewogue’s superintendent in 2010 coincided with my election to our board of education. To call the last eight-plus years of working with him “unforgettable” is an understatement. Just as he inspired our students, he’s been a source of trust, candor and community to Port Jefferson Station residents, and beyond.

He’s proposed innovative solutions to challenges that threaten public education. He’s stood up for our children and an educational curriculum that prepares them to be their best.

He’s advocated logic in the face of unreasonable and irresponsible policies dictated by outof-touch government actions. As he prepares to retire after nine years as superintendent, his influence on our district, community and public education are deep and long lasting.

Great leaders don’t act alone. At each step in his 25-year journey, Rella has influenced the

We must not lose sight of what makes ours a special place to be. We must recognize the opportunity ahead of us and continue toward it with the same unwavering commitment. We must continue to work together, support each other and continue to carry Comsewogue forward with pride because, in some way, we’ve all had the blessing of being students of Joe Rella. We are a family of Warriors.

DeVincenzo captures Suffolk crown again, heading back to state championship BILL LANDON

In 2018, history repeated itself for a standout golfer from Earl L. Vandermeulen High School.

Shane DeVincenzo came out on top in the Suffolk County individual golf tournament which showcases the best high school varsity golfers in the county. The Port Jefferson senior took the individual championship title for the second year in a row.

DeVincenzo is a five-year varsity starter for the Royals who has been named All-League as well as All-County four times, also achieving All-State status twice. He captured his second Suffolk County Championship at Rock Hill Golf and Country Club in Manorville Oct. 31, a feat his head coach Chuck Ruoff called very rare.

“Shane’s stroke average was 36.0 per nine holes this season and his tournament play at the counties was phenomenal these past two seasons,” Ruoff said. “He won both titles by six and seven strokes and finished sixth in the state in his sophomore year, which is a testament to his preparation and dedication to the sport.”

Ruoff said what impresses him most is DeVincenzo’s ability to perform at a high level even when he’s not having his best round.

“He grinds it out and never gives in; that makes him very hard to play against,” said the coach. “He has mental toughness and performs well under pressure, particularly when he putts.

He never gives in and he enjoys the moment.”

The senior said his introduction to the game was at the urging of two childhood friends, and at first he was reluctant to take up the game.

“I was drawn to it back in the sixth grade by two of my friends Bill and Jeffrey Alter when we were at a little league baseball game and they said they were going to try golf. At the time, I made fun them,” DeVincenzo said.

Then “they got me to go to a summer camp where I discovered the local golf course [and have been playing ever since.]”

The senior set a modest goal for himself at the beginning of the season of wanting to place in the top nine in the county.

“In his mind I think he knew he could win it again and make another trip to the states,” Ruoff said.

The goal of finishing in the top nine was modest indeed. With capturing his second straight county title, he earned another trip to Cornell University in June for his fourth appearance at the state championship tournament.

DeVincenzo said his most satisfying round this season was against Ward Melville High School where he played under windy and cold conditions in the season finale.

CHUCK RUOFF

BY BILL LANDON

Clockwise from left, Shane DeVincenzo shows off his second consecutive Suffolk County championship trophy after his win Oct. 31; the Port Jeff senior chips onto the 18th green at WIllow Creek Country Club in Mount Sinai Sept.

27; and DeVincenzo putts Sept. 27.

“The Port Jefferson Country Club was playing very difficult and I was playing a tough opponent,” the senior said. He ended up shooting a 35 in nine holes, which was one under par and won the match by eight strokes. “That helped my team take the win against Ward Melville which was huge for us.”

Ruoff said his star player has exceptional mental toughness, confidence and the ability to handle pressure, which is why he is successful at such a high level.

“We talk a lot about just focusing on the next shot and not dwell on what’s already happened,” Ruoff said. “We try to put ourselves in [challenging] situations over and over [simulating] what we could face in a match or tournament play, so we feel like we’ve been there before.”

When asked what it meant to win his second consecutive county title DeVincenzo said he felt pressure from the success of his siblings.

“A lot of people don’t realize every golfer from every school in the county is in one tournament, unlike many other team sports where there are several divisions,” he said. “So I take a lot pride in winning it twice, and being that both my brothers excelled and won county and state titles in wrestling, I needed to find my sport to do that in.”

DeVincenzo will continue his golfing career when he attends Fairfield University after graduation.

“I take a lot of pride in winning [the Suffolk County championship] twice, and being that both my brothers excelled and won county and state titles in wrestling, I needed to find my sport to do that in.”

Opinion

Editorial

We as a country have experienced a tumultuous and polarizing last few weeks and months. The lead up to the first Tuesday in November and the midterm elections set the American electorate ablaze with strong opinions that saw former elected officials receive rudimentary pipe bombs via the mail.

With that as a backdrop, Veterans Day took place this past weekend, with beautiful, solemn remembrances unfolding at war memorials and firehouses, coupled with more raucous and celebratory parades happening across the North Shore and beyond. The events should have served as reminders that despite our differences, our shared values and appreciation for the sacrifices made by so many that allowed this country to flourish are what will be truly lasting in even the tensest of times.

While we were glad to see photos come through our inboxes and across our social media platforms of these events, we were saddened by an incident that occurred at Heritage Park in Mount Sinai relayed to us by Fred Drewes, a founding member of the Heritage Trust, the nonprofit which stewards the park in partnership with the Town of Brookhaven and Suffolk County.

Drewes has dedicated much of his own time to beautifying the park and perpetuating a triannual program called the Parade of Flags, which features the flying of about 100 flags representing American states and other important entities like the military branches lining an area of the park dubbed the Avenue of America. The park features other patriotic imagery including the Court of America, a sitting area with benches, plaques with quotes from presidents and other famous citizens and a rock garden in the shape of the continental United States.

The rock garden contains symbolic rocks, plants and flowers that are native to the corresponding region in which they lay.

Blocks featuring the names of all previous 44 U.S. presidents and the years they held office border the garden. President Donald Trump’s block will be added at the conclusion of his tenure, according to Drewes.

Drewes reported to us that during recent weeks someone tore out former President Barack Obama’s block and discarded it in a nearby shrub. We’re not asking anyone to agree with all — or even any — of the former president’s political ideologies or practices, except for one.

“The forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us,” Obama said in 2011 while speaking in Tucson, Arizona, after a gunman shot U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Arizona).

On Veterans Day especially, but going forward, we’d like to see Americans make a better effort to live by that axiom.

A Veterans Day poem: The Truth Is

We never abandon our heroes They live on in our hearts and our minds As our memories grow ever stronger Our love more defined We never stop seeking their counsel We’ll remember their voice, their embrace Be they mother, father, sister, brother and friend They endure in that secret part of us Where cherished memories linger Safe from the ravage of time In times of need we reflect on their courage and carry on Through tears and heartache, do not bid them goodbye But until we meet again We never let go of our heroes They live on in our hearts and our minds To our end

Keep a close eye on Zeldin this term On Nov. 6, Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin was re-elected to the House of Representatives by his smallest margin of victory since running for public office [52 percent to 46]. His campaign was one marked by xenophobia, homophobia and name calling of his Democratic opponent, Perry Gershon, and his supporters.

As a resident of the 1st Congressional District, it was painful to see signs with the words “Gay Lover” stenciled into stolen Gershon signs, as well as a swastika spray-painted onto a Gershon sign on Nicolls Road. As a parent, it became increasingly difficult to explain these acts of hate to my young children

as we witnessed them.

Unfortunately, with the re-election of Zeldin, we not only have a more divided district with hateful rhetoric a part of the discourse, we have a congressman who will not be able to deliver on important issues. He is now in the minority, something that he has never experienced in his time in public office. Zeldin has legislated as an extreme partisan and has not formed relationships across the aisle, which will make it difficult for him to secure funds for our district.

He no longer has the protection of a majority that will send appropriations his way, nor does he possess the people

skills to fight on our behalf.

While I respect the results of this election and Zeldin’s victory, I urge all NY1 constituents to keep a close eye on our congressman, and pay attention to his divisive rhetoric and inability to deliver on needs for our communities, and consider this when casting their ballots in 2020. We need a leader who is principled, capable of reaching across the aisle and unites rather than divides in his rhetoric.

Zeldin has fallen short on all of these qualities necessary for a leader.

Cuomo needs to stop running TV ads Election Day has come and gone and reminds me of “The Outer Limits” 1960s television show. With the end of roundthe-clock commercials by politicians, political parties, unions and pay-for-play special interest groups, we now return control of your television back to you until the next election cycle.

Now if only Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) would do the same. When will he direct the Empire State Development Corporation to stop running its wasteful

“public service” advertisements. After eight years in office, Cuomo has had this quasi-independent state agency spend several hundred million of taxpayer dollars to pay for these “feel good” commercials. They were clearly designed to assist him in greasing the wheels of another term in office and raise his profile in preparation for a presidential run in the Democratic Party 2020 primary. These commercials periodically run in heavy rotation on many stations several times

per hour day and night.

Diogenes is still waiting for state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli (D), Democratic Conference Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D), state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D) or a brave member of the state Legislature to come forward and challenge Emperor Cuomo to end this waste, fraud and abuse of public monies.

Hoping we all find our joie de vivre

K

nowing exactly what we want and then getting it brings out the thrilled child in all of us.

I recently attended a wonderful party thrown by one of my wife’s friends. I’ve seen this gentleman for years in various settings that are a blend of personal and professional.

Each time, he seemed pleased with the fish he ordered for lunch, with the interactions at holiday parties or with the chance to disD. None cuss details of his of the above children’s lives.

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF At this party at his house, however, I saw a different side of him that I hope

resides in each of us. In his elegantly decorated and comfortable home, he welcomed us into a large kitchen. People stood around a table covered with various dishes, helping themselves to sliced steak, warm pretzels and a variety of appetizers.

While the food appeared pleasing to the guests’ palates, the bigger hit was the wide assortment of wines. With a stream of ordered and shiny glasses at the ready, each arriving guest had a chance to sample from a variety of wines, all gracefully arranged with the bottles of the neck facing outward, as if each container were a person reclining comfortably in a bath after a long day.

“This one came from a trip to California,” he said. “It’s my absolute favorite.” He proceeded to describe his experience at the vineyard and the interactions with its owners.

“After a sip, I told him I wanted his entire stock of this one,” he said, taking a small swallow, smiling and basking in the familiar flavor

that splashed across his receptive taste buds.

When told there were 12 bottles of that particular wine, he asked the owner to pack them all up and ship them to him. He was delighted to share what he described as an extraordinary taste of life with guests who became increasingly animated and comfortable with each other as the night wore on.

Once outside his house, he took us on a tour of some of the amenities he had taken considerable time to add to his house. For starters, he had two firepits on a 50-something degree evening, both of which offered welcome warmth against the breezes that seemed no match for the flames.

Around the side, he said he used to have a lawn. Once his children were old enough, he had no need for grass he would need to water and mow, and that young children didn’t occupy during evenings or weekends. He had recently installed a putting green for his wife’s birthday. That, however, was just the beginning of the story, as he had the green designed and

installed to match the contours, speed and play of the nearest golf course.

First, he said, the installers put down a base.

Once they did that, they added sand that they carefully contoured. That process took a solid two days, as a worker walked back and forth across the relatively small space, making sure of exactly the right concentration and height to match the specification.

Once the sand was down, other workers meticulously shaped it. Then they put the carpet down. A professional golfer designed the holes.

He assured us that the entire process has paid off, as he and his wife have loved the chance to hone their putting in the backyard, especially shaving several strokes off the weakest part of his wife’s game.

As we prepared to leave the home after a pleasant evening, it was clear that our host has learned to drink deeply of the pleasures life affords him. Hopefully, we can all bring something that provides such satisfaction into our lives.

The dead do have good tales to tell

C

all me ghoulish, but I like to read obituaries. Of course they have to be well-written obits, like the ones in The New York Times. I almost never know the people who have died. If I’ve heard of them, their stories are usually on the front page. These obits that I refer to are usually found in the back pages.

The dead are famous enough to warrant a significant write-up, and I always like to hear tales of people’s lives. That’s one reason I find them interesting.

Between Another, perhaps you and me more important atBY LEAH S. DUNAIEF traction for me, is the random information to be gleaned on diverse subjects.

Let me give you some recent examples.

On an entirely random day, Thursday, Oct. 25, I read about Wanda Ferragamo, clever wife

of the famous shoemaker, Salvatore Ferragamo, who had built a shoe shop in Florence, Italy, into a shoe design and manufacturing concern. Upon his death in 1960 — he was 24 years older than his wife — Wanda, who had never worked in her life until then, built the company into an international powerhouse with annual revenues most recently of more than $1 billion. Now I happen to like Ferragamo shoes, although I mostly don’t buy them. But the obit was something of a business case study for me, as well as the story of a remarkable woman who had just died at her hilltop villa in Fiesole, a beautiful village above Florence, at age 96.

Then there was Osamu Shimomura, who died in Nagasaki, Japan, at age 90. He shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 for finding a glowing jellyfish protein that is now a major element of biological research. Shimomura, working in Washington state for a Princeton marine biologist in 1961, scooped up thousands of jellyfish from Puget Sound in an attempt to discover how they glowed green when agitated.

They were able to extract a luminescent material, a protein, which they named aequorin. He also found trace amounts of another protein, green

fluorescent protein or GFP that would glow green whenever ultraviolet light was shined on it. Ultimately the GFP gene was stitched into the DNA of other organisms, enabling researchers to track those organisms the way naturalists can track tagged cougars in the wild. This revolutionized contemporary biological discovery. Of great further interest, he lived with grandparents near Nagasaki and saw the American B-29 airplane that dropped its devastating atomic bomb on the city. He described what he saw in graphic detail in his Nobel autobiography.

Dorcas Reilly, who died in Camden, New Jersey, at age 92, might particularly be remembered at the Thanksgiving table. It was she who invented the classic American dish of green bean casserole when she worked in the Campbell Soup Company test kitchen. Containing a mere six ingredients, the recipe was printed on the label of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup and called for cooked green beans, a little milk, soy sauce, pepper and some crunchy fried onions on top.

serve the dish in two weeks time.

The Indian musician and teacher, Annapurna Devi, 91, died in Mumbai, formerly Bombay.

Called by The Times “a poignant inspiration for women artists,” Devi masterfully played the surbahar, described as a bass sitar. This is “a difficult instrument that few if any women of her era played.” She and her first husband, the famous sitarist Ravi Shankar, sometimes played together, but when she seemed to get most of the notice she stopped performing. A 1973 movie, “Abhimaan,” is said to have been inspired by their marriage and the tensions within it. She then limited herself to teaching and “turned out musicians of the highest caliber.”

There was also Tony Hoagland, who died at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was 64 and “a widely admired poet who could be both humorous and heartfelt.” He found insights and imagery in the everyday, like a pool in an Austin, Texas, park; a spaghetti strap on a woman’s dress that wouldn’t stay put; and, according to The Times, an old man dying awash in paranoia from too much Fox News.

Never heard of any of them? Now you have and learned something too, I’ll bet. I did.
