LOCAL GROUP HONORS CIVIL WAR VETERANS&nbsp;ON JUNETEENTH
On
 June 19, 2026, the Society of the Grand Army of the Republic (SoGAR) 
will continue its tradition of honoring Civil War veterans by conducting
 its fifth Juneteenth Commemoration Ceremony at the Citizen Soldier GAR 
statue on Baker Street in Patchogue at 9:30 AM and, later, convening to 
dedicate the headstone of Civil War veteran Abraham Tobias at Old Bethel
 Cemetery, at the corner of Christian Ave. and Woodfield Road, Stony 
Brook, New York.
SoGAR
 has held Juneteenth commemoration ceremonies since 2021, when 
Juneteenth became a federal holiday. Their traditional ceremony at the 
Citizen Soldier GAR statue features a reading of General Order No. 3. 
The ceremony in Stony Brook honoring Corporal Abraham Tobias will 
include a wreath-laying to honor his service to the nation. Members of 
the 67th New York Infantry Long Island Volunteers will serve as Honor Guard at both events, and the 6th New York Independent Battery will fire their cannon during the program. All are welcome to attend these events.
SoGAR
 is a historical, educational, and patriotic organization and a 501(c)3 
charity founded in 2017 and dedicated to advancing an understanding of 
the Civil War. SoGAR is responsible for the restoration of the Civil War
 Monument on Baker Street in Patchogue and for the placement of historic
 roadside markers for Civil War patriots General Regis deTrobriand in 
Sayville and General Nathaniel McLean in Bellport. A fraternal society, 
SoGAR welcomes history enthusiasts of all ages as members. For more

Protecting Long Island Yards From Mosquitoes & Ticks 

Mosquito Brothers

On Long Island, enjoying your backyard is not always as simple as it should be. With increasing mosquito activity, growing tick concerns, and more awareness surrounding illnesses like Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, homeowners in Nassau County and Suffolk County are paying closer attention to what may be hiding in their grass, shrubs, and yard edges. That is where Mosquito Brothers comes in. Mosquito Brothers is a veteran-owned Long Island company specializing in professional mosquito and tick control. Our mission is to help families reclaim their outdoor spaces through dependable service, strong communication, and a higher level of care. Unlike large franchise operations, we take a more personal approach, understanding that every Long Island property has its own challenges, from leaf litter and shaded fence lines to dense shrubs, wooded borders, and other hard-to-reach areas where mosquitoes and ticks frequent most. What helps set Mosquito Brothers apart is our commitment to an Integrated Pest Management approach. Rather than relying on a single method, we use a thoughtful, multi-step approach because one treatment style alone can often fall short on Long Island. As one of the few companies in the region offering more extensive tick control methods, we focus not just on treating a property, but on addressing the conditions that allow these pests to thrive. Using professional-grade products and high-powered equipment, we are able to penetrate the protected areas where mosquitoes and ticks commonly rest and hide. At the center of it all is our Care Factor Promise — a commitment to helping protect the people and four-legged loved ones who matter most through a hassle-free, organized, and reliable experience
