One of those non-profits is Independent Group Home (IGHL), which opened its first group home in Mt. Sinai in 1978 to provide a community-based, homelike environment that encouraged personal growth and a genuine sense of belonging to a community for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Since then, IGHL has developed multiple community home opportunities, and a complete services network throughout Suffolk County.

The Best Move You Will Ever Make!

IGHL also runs Day Treatment programs, residential homes and communitybased residential homes to allow people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to experience living in a home environment while receiving the specialized care they require.

Another Kinexion affiliate is The New Interdisciplinary School, an innovative early childhood learning center that respects the unique needs of all children and their families. Started by a coalition of parents, community and staff in 1976, the school provides education and therapeutic services.

“At NIS, we believe in the rights of every child to grow and learn in a supportive environment, and the rights of parents to have a real voice in their children’s education,” said Jay Silverstein, Executive Director of NIS. “We are always willing to try new approaches that are compatible with our child-centered philosophy. We strongly believe each child, regardless of disability, ethnic background or socioeconomic status has the right to develop to his/ her fullest potential.” This organization offers classes ranging from small self-contained groups to larger inclusion classes. All children have opportunities to learn and socialize with their typically developing peers.

Deer Park Graduates Are Falcons Forever Deer Park High School graduates were encouraged to draw upon the lessons learned and the friendships made as a source of inspiration for the future at the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2022 on June 23.

In their crowning moment as Falcons, the 303 graduates walked onto the field in the maroon caps and gowns to cheers and applause from their proud families.

After remarks from senior class advisers Sara DiCandia and Marissa Caruso, who reminded them to never forget where they came from, senior members of the chorus sang the Alma Mater.

Senior class President Yoki Lin recalled how much they have achieved since their first day of high school on Sept. 5, 2018.

There were also some unexpected moments.

“We’ve come across every challenge that life can throw at us and these hardships have only made

us stronger,” she said.

Salutatorian Saima Hoque centered her speech around the quote, “Do I dare disturb the universe?”

She encouraged her fellow graduates to indeed disturb the universe in their pursuit of their goals and dreams.

Valedictorian Nicholas Stamatakis spoke about the “mini role models” throughout his time in high school – teachers and friends who have imparted some kind of knowledge on him. He told everyone, as they move on from high school, to find people who have traits they want to emulate.

For the seniors, the path to graduation felt like a long journey but for their parents, the time flew by, noted Superintendent James Cummings. They’re both right, he said. To give a little perspective, he noted some changes that have taken place in the lifetime of the graduates.

They were born around the time Michael Jordan

retired from basketball and people could still rent movies from Blockbuster.

The iPhone came out when they were 4 and popular social media site TikTok debuted when they were in middle school.

Mr. Cummings said that that graduating class features students who have been educated in Deer Park their entire lives, as well as those who have moved here later on from other towns, states and countries.

“For one brief moment in time, all of your journeys have taken you to the same place,” he said, encouraging them “POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE” - The 303 graduates of Deer Park High School to continue their personal entered the field to “Pomp and Circumstance” on June 23, many finding their families journeys by following their among the large crowd.

Principal Charles Cobb recognized five students who will be joining different branches of the military after graduation.

He praised the entire class for the style, grace and unrelenting passion they have shown in enduring many challenges over the past few years.

Controlling Costs For Consumers, Despite Record Setting Inflation Rates.

Inflation rates are higher now than they have been in decades, and costs are impacting consumers and companies around the United States. Small businesses are struggling to keep pricing down and stay open.

Many business owners are grappling with how to deliver customers the best quality products at the lowest price possible. We talked with local company Unified Home Remodeling, on how they are combating inflation to keep prices down during this time.

Unified is leveraging its long-standing partnerships with national manufacturers to control costs and reduce unnecessary price hikes for consumers. The company is passing on many exclusive deals and rebates they receive from large quantity purchases to customers to retain some of the most competitive pricing in the market. “For nearly 35 years, Unified has forged relationships with national manufacturers and suppliers to help control costs during some of the most challenging financial times in recent history,” said Steve DiMare, Founder of Unified.

“We have increased our internal efficiencies by developing seamless ordering, delivery, and invoicing procedures over the years – and we are proud to put those cost-savings right back into our customers’ pockets.”

While Unified is able to do this with their long history and dedicated staff many other companies are not able to do this and are forced to increase their pricing.

Some prices for products like windows, doors, siding, roofing, and masonry have increased over 150% since 2020. With price jumps continuing to be given to companies every month, and sometimes every week, only the most dedicated companies will be able to keep costs down for their customers.

Babylon IDA’s Economic Inclusion Initiative Is Proof Of Progress

DEER PARK - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JULY 13, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Program Supporting MWBEs With Training And Resources Sets Example For The State

In the two years since the Babylon Industrial Development Agency (IDA) launched its Economic Inclusion Initiative during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effort has grown into a model of success for others to follow.

The program, which is aimed at supporting and elevating Minority, Women and Veteran Business Enterprise entrepreneurs within the Town of Babylon, has helped dozens of dedicated entrepreneurs connect to financial, technical and legal assistance, with many starting new businesses or getting MWBE certified in the process.

“The purpose of this effort was to focus on entrepreneurs within the Town that were primed for success but didn’t have all the tools or resources to do so,” said Tom Dolan, CEO of the Babylon IDA. “Helping to fill these common gaps, which are hurdles to success, was our main objective and with the results we have seen from this program’s infancy tell us we are onto something revolutionary. It is our hope that with some additional funding, we can

expand this program locally while regions throughout the state can launch similar programs so we can really make some progress on this front statewide.”

Since its launch in the fall of 2020, the initiative has guided the development of nearly 30 aspiring or existing business owners who were looking for direction amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

From a financial perspective, the program has helped business owners secure nointerest loans while also improving access to capital by creating supporting crowdfunding and micro-lending. Technical assistance has also been provided to address sales and profit deficiencies, closure rates and other barriers to business growth while overseeing partnerships with foundations and universities to provide capacity building.

Additionally, the initiative has helped many business owners acquire MWBE certification by providing assistance in acquiring necessary certification and bonding while also promoting partnerships between Town and minority consultants, contractors,

“I cannot thank the Babylon IDA enough for launching the Economic Inclusion Initiative as it not only helped me survive through the pandemic, but it really got me started in an entirely new direction,” said Cheryl McHunguzi, LMSW. “Through the guidance and resources this program provided, I was

able to become MWBE/WBE certified and open up my business, Metamorphosis, LMSW P.C., in Wheatley Heights Plaza, which focuses on providing mental health counseling, and other supportive wellness services to the community. I’m proud to be one of the first participants of this program and encourage anyone in similar shoes to reach out and see how this program can support your dreams.”

A cornerstone of the effort was the Storefront Development Pilot Program, seeking to improve occupancy rates in underutilized business districts while also providing small business owners with affordable space needed to advance their businesses. Two local entrepreneurs have already taken advantage of this program and both have seen an increase in revenue, sales and hiring. There are two more businesses going through the process to take advantage of the successful pilot program.

“The Economic Inclusion Initiative is a crucial initiative to bridge the gap between an entrepreneur’s vision, implementation and sustained success,” said

NAACP LI Regional Director Tracey Edwards.

“The program aims to remove all obstacles, close the revenue gap, and create more paths of entrepreneurship through innovation and partnership. What the Babylon IDA has launched is an effective model of a community-driven strategy that should be used across New York State.”

Contributing greatly to this development has been an ongoing series of educational events and training resources for business owners. This fall, the initiative will host a bootcamp series focusing on business development and social media marketing.

There are also numerous B2B Minority, Women and Veteran networking event series being planned to help entrepreneurs make the business connections that can support and elevate their businesses. To learn more about these events and to be notified once they are scheduled, please visit https://babyloneip.org.

“I’m proud of the work the Babylon IDA has done to create this program and the opportunity it presents to so many aspiring entrepreneurs in the

area,” said New York State Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean-Pierre. “There is clearly a need for efforts like this and it’s why I am securing $20,000 in discretionary aid to ensure a funding stream is available to sustain this program’s growth. I am confident that additional funding for the Economic Inclusion Initiative will open up doors for other economic development agencies within the state to launch similar programs.”

The tremendous success of the IDA’s Economic Inclusion Initiative has helped it set a new standard of what IDAs throughout New York State can do to ensure that minority, women and veteran business owners are able to thrive in our state. The Babylon IDA is hopeful and encouraged that two other IDA’s in the state have reached out to learn more about replicating this program in their region.

“If we can make this program a statewide staple, its potential for not only helping improve the economy, but the lives of so many new and existing business owners is limitless,” said Matt McDonough, Special Counsel to the Babylon IDA. “We encourage our counterparts in IDAs throughout the state as well as the state legislature to make this issue a priority.

We’ve found success with it here in Babylon, and there is no reason why others can’t do so either.”

If you are a small business owner in the Town of Babylon or would like to learn more about becoming one, the Babylon IDA encourages you to sign up for the Economic Inclusion Initiative to gain access to the training and other resources that have been made available. To sign up, please visit https:// babyloneip.org.

Children 11 and under are Free. Tickets are available at the gate or through Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite. com/e/long-island-bluegrassroots-music-festival-2022celebrating-20-yearstickets-361789912367 Our 2022 Line-Up features local and regional acts as well as national touring artists, providing a day of new music discovery along with wellloved favorites in a friendly atmosphere. To cap off the 20th-Year Celebration, there will be an evening dance party featuring Long Island’s own Gene Casey & The Lone Sharks after the headline act, Compton & Newberry, at approximately 7PM. The 2022 LINE-UP: MIKE COMPTON & JOE NEWBERRY The Jim Hurst Band Miles to Dayton Buddy Merriam and Back Roads

BUDDY MERRIAM Photo courtesy of Buddy Merriam Gene Casey & The Lone Sharks Mike Burns and Highway 52 Eastbound Freight Bluegrass Club of Long Island Jam Band About Long Island’s Own Buddy Merriam: Buddy Merriam and Back Roads were formed in 1980 out of Buddy’s love and respect for traditional Bluegrass music.

He became close friends with the Father of Bluegrass music, Bill Monroe, and got to learn from and eventually perform with him.

In September of 2015 Buddy was honored to receive the “Long Island Sound Award” from the LI Music Hall of Fame “For Outstanding Contributions to Long Island’s Musical Heritage.” He has brought Back Roads down to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville to perform a few times, and they’ve also performed at the grand opening of the Bluegrass Museum and Hall of Fame in Owensboro, KY and Country Music’s Fan Fair in Nashville, TN. The group has played at most of the Bluegrass Festivals in the northeastern U.S., including Grey Fox and Podunk, and at several Long Island venues, such as Hecksher Park in Huntington, Bald Hill Cultural Center, Agawam Park in Southampton, and has headlined concerts

for LITMA (the Long Island Traditional Music Association), the Huntington Folk Music Society and the Museums at Stony Brook Folk & Fiddle Festival.

Buddy Merriam’s involvement in the Long Island Bluegrass & Roots Music Festival dates back to its beginnings. He has graced the stage at Tanner Park many times throughout the festival’s 20 years, and is a crowd favorite whenever he plays.
