ome improvement projects can help homeowners transform their homes. Such projects are costly, but many homeowners save money by doing some, if not all, of the work themselves.

The Electrical Safety Foundation International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting electrical safety, recommends that homeowners leave electrical work to the professionals. Licensed electricians are well-trained, whereas homeowners may not be skilled enough to avoid accidents or injuries, which can prove fatal when working with electricity.

Homeowners who take the do-it-yourself route with electrical work should consider these safety tips, courtesy of the ESFI, before beginning a home electrical project.

• Honestly assess your skills. An honest assessment of skills is absolutely necessary prior to working on an electrical system. According to the National Safety Council, injuries relating to electrical incidents typically fall into one of four categories: electrical shock, electrocution, falls, and burns.

Each of these injuries is significant.

For example, electric shock, which occurs when electrical current passes over or through a person’s body, involves burns, abnormal heart rhythm and unconsciousness. Given the potential for serious injury, the ESFI urges homeowners to make an honest assessment of their skills before they begin working on their home’s electrical systems. Little or no experience working with electrical systems should be considered a significant hurdle to any DIY project.

• Turn the power off. It’s essential that the power to the circuit that will be worked on be turned off prior to starting any work. This can be accomplished by switching off the circuit breaker in the main service panel.

Similarly, when working on appliances or lamps, make sure the products are unplugged prior to working on them.

• Do not touch plumbing or gas pipes when doing electrical work.

The experts at the Indiana Electric Cooperative note that the risk for electrocution is significant when water comes in contact with electricity. It’s imperative that homeowners do not touch plumbing and gas pipes when performing a DIY electrical project. Professionals know how to work around such pipes while minimizing their risk for electric shock or worse, and homeowners must familiarize themselves with the techniques professionals rely on to stay safe if they intend to begin DIY electrical projects.

Homeowners are best served by leaving electrical work to the professionals. However, those who insist on doing such work themselves should do their homework and get to know their systems and safety protocols prior to beginning a project.

• Learn your home electrical system. Home electrical systems may include power lines, electric meters, service panels, subpanels, wiring, and more. These systems are complex, and homeowners who intend to do some DIY electrical work should familiarize themselves with their home electrical systems prior to beginning any work. The ESFI notes that knowledge of their home electrical systems can help homeowners more safely navigate them and make maintenance easier.

Guide To Outdoor Lighting

L

ighting is an essential component of interior and exterior home design.

Not only does lighting add style and make spaces more appealing, when done correctly, it also makes a home safer and more functional. Homeowners who plan to utilize outdoor spaces like backyards, front porches and walkways to the fullest should think carefully about lighting. These guidelines can assist with selecting outdoor lighting fixtures.

Security lighting Flood lights and security lights are a good investment for those who want to beef up visibility and security around the home. These lights are high-intensity and designed to illuminate large areas.

The brightness and reach can serve as a preventive measure to keep animals and even criminals away. Motion-sensor lights will immediately engage if something crosses the path of the sensor.

Some lights will remain on from dusk until dawn. Lowes Home Improvement suggests using the correct wattage on outdoor security lights so they flood an area thoroughly without affecting neighboring properties.

Wall, post and ceiling lights

Long Island Media Group • 631-226-2636 • info@longislandmediagroup.com • www.longislandmediagroup.com

Outdoor lighting fixtures beyond security options come in a variety of styles, according to Lamps USA. Wall lights are mounted to the outdoor wall of the home.

These typically flank doorways or the garage. Post lights are often installed on the posts of decks and porches, or are free-standing on properties, providing visibility but also style. Ceiling-mounted lights may be above doorways or installed in any structure that has an overhead area. Warm-colored temperature bulbs in these fixtures can create an inviting atmosphere that is not too bright and

jarring, especially when multiple lighting fixtures are working together. When selecting lighting for wall-mounted fixtures, experts suggest sizing up if you are not sure of the size to pick, as lights will look much smaller in scale from a distance.

Accent and landscape lighting A bevy of accent lighting choices are available. Accent lighting is designed to enhance the mood and appearance of certain elements of a landscape. Accent lighting is not intended to add bright light.

For example, upward-directed lights can be cast on trees or shrubs to accentuate their shapes. Accent lighting also may call out a structure, such as a garden or a fountain. While accent lighting may be hard-wired, homeowners who want the luxury of changing lighting can opt for solar fixtures, which are more mobile but not as bright.

Additional pointers When shopping for bulbs, consider the number of lumens. A standard 100-watt bulb produces around 1,600 lumens.

Security lights should range from 700 to 1,300 lumens for optimal brightness.

Other lights needn’t be so bright.

Furthermore, ensure that any fixtures that are being used are safety-rated for outdoors. Wet-rated fixtures are designed to withstand direct exposure to outdoor elements, advises the design experts at Schoolhouse, a lighting and lifestyle goods company. Damp-rated fixtures are built for outdoor locations protected from harsh weather. Look for the product details or work with an electrician to choose the right lighting choices.

Lighting can transform outdoors spaces for the better.

Additionally, there will be a “Veteran Service Organization Village” at the event, consisting of various booths occupied by organizations that help veterans. If your organization would like to have a booth, or you are someone who would like to volunteer at the event, please email info@Project9line.org or call 631.841.1141.

On May 21, 2022 Project9line will host the First Annual DFQ 22 Mile Duathlon at Veterans Memorial Park in Calverton, New York. This first of its kind duathlon will consist of a 9 mile run, followed by a 9 mile ruck and concluding with a 4 mile run. Anyone is able to participate, whether or not you have served our country.

For veterans, the transition to civilian life can be extremely difficult, as they tend to go from structure and routine to a lifestyle that is much less rigid. Additionally, the camaraderie they once had may be quickly depleted once they find themselves going through life as a regular civilian. The unfortunate truth is that around 20 veterans a day commit suicide.

The 9 mile run is dedicated to those members of the armed services that we’ve

Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk www.eoc-suffolk.com The Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk (EOC of Suffolk) is a Patchoguebased non-profit organization that promotes selfsufficiency among low-income families and individuals by revitalizing communities, broadening the minds of children and assisting families in need.

While much of EOC of Suffolk’s work is concentrated in Suffolk County, it also operates several programs that serve residents of both Suffolk and Nassau counties. One of those bi-county offerings is the organization’s Housing Counseling Services.

As a HUD-approved housing counseling agency, EOC of Suffolk offers a comprehensive array of housing services. Its “Mortgage Default and Foreclosure Prevention Counseling” program provides mortgage counseling for homeowners island-wide who are having difficulty maintaining their mortgage.

Many households across the country and across Long Island confront the risk of foreclosure. Last month, foreclosure filings nationwide reached the highest level since the pandemic began in March 2020. More than 30 thousand properties across the U.S. faced foreclosure, a 181 percent jump from March 2021 and a 29 percent increase from February.

It was recently reported that about 14,500 Long Island homeowners were at least three months behind on paying their mortgages. The risk of foreclosure has increased when a statewide foreclosure moratorium expired in January.

and talk through possible courses of action to bring a mortgage current.

They will discuss loss mitigation options and inform homeowners of financial and legal resources available to them. Counselors can explain how homeowners can work with lenders or agencies on forbearance plans or loan modifications.

EOC of Suffolk also offers “Comprehensive Housing Counseling” that helps individuals and families achieve their dream of homeownership. The program provides one-to-one homeownership counseling and group counseling, as well as budget and credit counseling.

Finally, the organization also helps current and prospective homeowners through an online, eight-hour “Homebuyer Education Course.” The course helps enrollees determine if homeownership is right for them, how to shop for a home and how to maintain a home. Those completing the course receive a certificate that positions homebuyers to fulfill education requirements for down payment assistance programs. The certificate can also be presented to lenders. The course operates on a convenient and flexible timetable allowing participants to complete it on their own schedule.

For more information about EOC of Suffolk’s various housing counseling services, call 631-968-8000 or visit www. eoc-suffolk.com.

To help Long Island families keep their homes, EOC of Suffolk retains an experienced team of certified foreclosure prevention counselors who will help homeowners understand the complex foreclosure process, If your non-profit would like to be featured in this column, please email noellestanuch@longislandmediagroup.com for consideration.

Distinguished Alumni Honored

Farmingdale School District Holds Wall Of Fame Ceremony not about being the most successful in your career,” said Farmingdale High School Assistant Principal and Chairperson of the Wall of Fame Committee, Jed Herman. “It’s about giving back to the community.”

Farmingdale High School students also got involved with the ceremony.

Journalists from the school’s newspaper, “The Paper Lion,” interviewed the honorees before the ceremony. Each spoke briefly to the crowd about what they learned and how these recipients inspired them.

The late Linda DiOrio attended the University of Oneonta, graduating in 1975 with a degree in Elementary Education.

After Ms. DiOrio’s son,

Erik, lost his battle with drug addiction in 2008, she galvanized her pain into a cautionary tale to share with teens and parents about the dangers of drug addiction. Ms. DiOrio presented at school events and public forums, sharing her family’s story. Erik’s tragedy was featured in Newsday in 2008 and 2009, where she stated, “It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a village to join together to work for change to protect them.” Mrs. DiOrio was the founder of the Erik DiOrio Memorial Scholarship, presented annually at the Senior Awards Night to reward those who “Like Erik” work with their hands. She wanted them to know their lives have value and that self-esteem breeds success and turn

Saturday, May 21st and Sunday, May 22nd Please join us for a Candlelight Vigil honoring your loved ones at Pinelawn Memorial Park, we understand how difficult and emotional it is for families to lose and grieve loved ones who have passed. Whenever we have a service at Pinelawn, you and your family remain in our thoughts, which is why we would like to offer a way to honor the memory of your loved ones.

We will be holding a candlelight remembrance vigil where you and a guest can reflect peacefully as your loved one’s name is read aloud amongst the beautiful outdoor setting of our Louis Natalie Mall, surrounded by the gentle sounds of live string music and the soft glow of string lights. The vigil will also include a nondenominational sermon before the reading of names.

Although we know the passing of someone you hold dear is a painful experience for you and your family, we hope this tranquil evening

will be the perfect setting for you to celebrate their memory.

Due to the overwhelming response for this event, we kindly ask that all families respect this request to enable Pinelawn to support as many families as possible at the vigil.

We understand that we cannot accommodate all of the families who have lost loved ones throughout this year and in years passed. However, we offer several remembrance events throughout the year, including our fall Candlelight Remembrance Vigil and our Lantern Lighting Celebration, to ensure more families have the opportunity to honor their loved one’s memory.

If you are interested in attending, please register for the session you wish to attend and add the information of your loved one.

After you register, be sure to review your confirmation email, which contains a link for you to upload a photo of your loved one for the vigil remembrance slideshow that will play throughout the ceremony. **This is an outdoor event - please dress warm.

SOUTH FARMINGDALE - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MAY 11, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

At the Farmingdale School District, it is a time-honored tradition to recognize community members who have made a significant, positive impact. This year was no different.

Three new honorees of the Farmingdale community will soon grace Farmingdale High School’s Wall of Fame.

The 2022 inductees include Linda DiOrio (Class of 1971), Daniel Kornfeld (Class of 1978), and Dr. Neil Strickman (Class of 1969).

Suffolk County Legislature Minority Leader Jason Richberg, Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey, and Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone have announced the second annual Suffolk County Youth Week will be held from May 16 through May 21. As part of the annual weeklong celebration, several events have been planned to honor, mentor and celebrate young people in Suffolk County.

Suffolk County Youth Week is the result of legislation sponsored by Legislator Richberg and approved by the county legislature to designate the third week of May as “Youth Week” starting in 2021. A collaboration among the Suffolk County Legislature, Suffolk County Executive Bellone, the Suffolk County Youth Bureau, and the Suffolk County Department of Labor, Licensing and Consumer Affairs, the goal of Youth Week is to recognize children between the ages of 9 and 12 as well as teenagers and celebrate their active participation in our communities.

“I want to thank all of our partners and supporters who helped bring our second annual Youth Week to fruition,” said Legislator Richberg.

“Youth Week is about celebrating our next generation of leaders, encouraging them to stay on the path of helping others, and giving young people more opportunities to get involved. We hope to keep this a tradition in Suffolk County for many years to come.”

Suffolk County Youth Week will kick off on Monday, May 16 with the Second Annual Suffolk County Youth Awards, a celebration of young

people from across the county. This year’s awards will recognize youth who have gone above and beyond in helping their communities over the past year. Suffolk County youth who performed extraordinary community service will be honored in a virtual awards ceremony. To nominate a young person worthy of recognition, please visit https://bit.ly/3LF2I9Z. To register for the awards ceremony, please visit http://tinyurl.com/ SCYouthAwards2022.

“Every day, whether it is through community service, recreational sports, various forms of art, or school clubs, our young people contribute to the vibrancy of our communities in innumerable ways,” said Suffolk County Executive Bellone. “Youth Week is designed to not only provide our youth with the tools they need to continue to succeed, but to also recognize and honor each and every one of them for their outstanding achievements, character, and leadership.”

“Implementing a ‘Youth Week’ into the county was an important step towards empowering today’s youth, they are the next generation of leaders,” said Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey. “The program allows youth to realize their potential in the workforce.”

A number of youth job fairs will be held across

F U E L

the county throughout the week, and Youth Week will conclude on Saturday, May 21 with a day of service clean up, during which young people will be invited to help clean up their communities by identifying an area in need of cleaning within their legislative district.

PSEG Long Island Reminds You To Call 811 Before You Dig

SEG Long Island reminds customers, contractors and excavators to always call 811 before digging to ensure underground pipelines, conduits, wires and cables are properly marked out.

Every digging project, even a small project like planting a tree or building a deck, requires a call to 811. It’s the law. The call is free and the mark-out service is free. The call must be made whether the job is being performed by a professional or a doit-yourselfer. Striking an underground electrical line can cause serious injury and outages, and result in repair costs and fines.

“Spring’s warmer temperatures make it a perfect time for starting improvements to our homes and businesses.

Calling 811 ahead of time helps protect underground utility lines and, more importantly, the safety of anyone digging,” said Michael Sullivan, PSEG Long Island’s vice president of Transmission and Distribution Operations.

“We are glad to see that our customers are getting the message.

Last year there were more than 240,000 mark-out requests in our service area, and so far this year, there have been more than 48,000 requests to 811.”

According to Common Ground Alliance, a member-driven association of nearly 1,800 individuals and 250 member companies in every facet of the underground utility industry, 40% of active diggers in North America do not call 811 because they think their project is too shallow to require it. All digging projects require a call to 811.

A free call to 811 in the service area automatically connects the caller to the local New York one-call center, which collects information about digging projects. The one-call center then provides the information to the utility companies, which send representatives to mark the locations of nearby underground lines with flags, paint or both. Once lines have been properly marked and confirmation from all of the utility owners is received, projects may proceed as long as caution is used around the marked areas.

Here’s important information to consider: · Calling 811 before digging reduces the chances of damaging an underground line to less than 1%. · Underground gas and electric lines are everywhere, even on private properties. These facilities can be easily damaged if dug into, with the potential to cause serious injuries.

Digging into these lines can also disrupt vital utility services, resulting in costly delays, expensive repairs and environmental or property damage.

Whether the job is a major home improvement project or something as simple as a fence or mailbox post, a call to 811 must be placed beforehand to determine where it’s safe to dig.

Call 811 at least two business days before the commencement of each job to have underground pipes, wires and equipment located.

Each facility owner must respond by providing the excavator with a positive confirmation indicating that marks are in place where utility lines are

Did You Know?

ertain home improvement projects are more complex than others.

Projects that involve working with gas lines are among the most complicated and risky undertakings, and even seasoned do-ityourselfers are urged to leave such tasks to certified professionals.

Low-Cost Outdoor Home Improvements

t’s no secret that a goodlooking lawn can entice buyers when selling a home, but homeowners may not realize just how much they can benefit from even the smallest investments of time and money in their home exteriors.

According to the Top Agent Insights Q2 2019 Report from HomeLight, low-cost outdoor home improvements to a landscape provide sizable returns on investment. For example, the report found that a

CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG - Whether using heavy equipment, like this PSEG Long Island employee, or digging by hand, property owners must call 811 to have underground infrastructure marked out before they begin a project. Photo courtesy of PSEG Long Island buried or that there are no existing facilities in the area of the proposed work. This service is free of charge.

Be sure to wait until all of the utilities have responded. Don’t dig until lines have been marked or you have received confirmation that the area is clear of facilities.

Property owners must maintain and respect the marks. Always hand dig within 2 feet of marked lines to find the existing facilities before using mechanized equipment.

If gas lines are damaged or there is a gas smell when excavating, call 911 immediately from a safe area.

Calling before you dig is more than a good idea − it’s the law.

Additional information, including a booklet on safe excavating practices and the protection of underground facilities, can be found on the PSEG Long Island website.

expect to pay an additional $1 to $10 per linear foot for pipe materials. A natural gas plumber can install, extend and repair natural gas lines and ensure that the project is completed safely, on time and within homeowners’ budgets. Angi notes that the average cost to move a gas line is between $250 and $750 for the whole project. However, if a buried line must be excavated, that cost could run into the thousands of dollars.

A

$268 investment in a lawn care service can lead to a $1,211 increase in home value at resale. Similarly, $340 worth of fresh mulch can increase home value at resale by $769. More than 85 percent of real estate professionals who participated in the HomeLight survey recommended other small and simple projects, including removing dirt, grime and cobwebs from a home entrance and trimming trees and shrubs prior to putting a home on the market.

Did You Know?

ccording to the Environmental Protection Agency, homes with clock timer controlled irrigation systems use about 50 percent more water outdoors than homes without irrigation systems.

Water waste can be even more significant if irrigation systems are not programmed correctly or if they have a leak. In addition, if sprinkler heads are situated incorrectly, water might be directed to areas of the lawn or garden that don’t need water, or even onto driveways and sidewalks.

To reduce water waste, and save on their

monthly water utility bills, homeowners can employ WaterSense labeled irrigation controllers.

Such controllers adjust irrigation schedules automatically based on local weather and landscape conditions.

These systems emploqy intuitive programming controls to schedule irrigation based on the water requirements of the plants. The controllers can make it easier for homeowners to keep their lawns and gardens green even during dry periods, such as drought, while still adhering to local water utility restrictions.

F

lower gardens can add color and awe-inspiring appeal to a property. The National Gardening Association notes that gardeners can find nearly every color of the spectrum in flowering perennials. So whether you prefer soft pink, are partial to bright red or want to relax in a garden and gaze at something deep blue, chances are you’ll find a perennial to tickle your fancy.

Monochromatic Colors

Bright Colors

Pastels, which include soft pink, powder blue, lavender, and peach, create a tranquil feeling in a garden. This makes

pastel colors perfect for those who want their gardens to be a relaxing, peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, particularly in urban or highly populated areas. The NGA notes that pastels may looked washed out in the midday sun, so they might be best enjoyed early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

Complementary Colors Complementary colors are those that are opposite one another on the color wheel. Orange and blue are examples of complementary colors. According to the NGA, complementary colors can add creative energy, versatility and vitality to a garden.

Monochromatic gardens can be awe-inspiring even though they stick to a single color and don’t provide a wide array of colors. The NGA notes that gardeners with monochromatic gardens make them interesting by using plants of various sizes and shapes.

With monochromatic color gardens, the variety of plantings is key to making this aesthetic work.

When planting a garden, gardeners can choose whichever color scheme they prefer. To learn more about the effects of color on a garden, visit the National Gardening Association website at www.garden.org.

Turn Your Yard Into A Vacation-Worthy Oasis

W

arm weather means more time to relax outdoors. For those homeowners lucky enough to have entertaining spaces outside, spring and summer provides plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh air under the sun or stars.

Over the last few years, families have become especially familiar with what works about their yards and where there is room for improvement. Pandemicrelated travel restrictions and early stayat-home mandates resulted in plenty of time spent in backyards on staycations.

Even though many such restrictions have been lifted, homeowners may have seen the benefits of having functional respites right outside their doors.

A backyard renovation can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000.

The American Society of Landscape Architects suggests homeowners budget the cost of a major landscaping project at between 5 and 10 percent of their home’s value. Here are ways to make an outdoor people desire. Vertical gardening, which oasis at home. trains easy-care vines like English ivy, Create living privacy Clematis or various climbing roses to Living in close proximity to neighbors grow on trellis or fencing adds greenery may make privacy harder to come by. and privacy. Hedges and fast-growing Wood or vinyl fences, however effective, shrubs also can be used for natural may not provide the all-natural look many barriers.

also serve the purpose and are more budget-friendly. Stock tank pools are popular among those who want minimal pool expenditure or have small spaces to work with. Stock tanks are metal vessels traditionally used as watering holes for livestock. They also can be “adult kiddie pools” when combined with some plumbing. Galvanized steel frames make them sturdy. With floats and other accessories, they can become the perfect oasis.

Provide outdoor atmosphere

Create a bespoke bistro vibe by using freestanding planters and posts along with hanging lights to make an intimate outdoor hangout spot at night. For those with permanent structures, like a deck or a gazebo, lights can be strung across the area or on railings or edging.

Extend the living space Install a pool Pools are the ultimate spots to cool off on hot days. An elaborately shaped inground pool can blend in with the landscape and offer the ultimate hangout zone. However, above-ground pools

Decks and patios can help make outdoor entertaining areas more comfortable by eliminating the need to sit on the grass or gravel. Plus, they add another “room” to the home. When paired with weatherproof patio furniture, such as sofas, loungers and tables, a private seating area can be crafted and utilized for any number of entertaining desires.

Pastel Colors

Harmonious Colors These colors are those that are next to each other on the color wheel, such as orange and red. The NGA recommends harmonious colors for gardeners looking to create a unifying feel in their gardens without resorting to a monochromatic color scheme.

Harmonious colors give off a gentle feeling that can make for a relaxing garden atmosphere.

The NGA offers the following breakdown of colors to help gardeners learn how their gardens can set the mood they’re looking for.

A garden full of bright colors like red, orange, magenta, and yellow can provide a landscape with vigor and energy. The NGA notes that brightly colored flowers can withstand especially bright sunshine, meaning gardeners can marvel at their appearance even when the sun might be adversely affecting other plants and flowers.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some medical conditions can put people at an elevated risk for certain infections. Heart disease, diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2, chronic lung disease, including COPD, and kidney failure are among the conditions that can increase a person’s risk for certain infections. The CDC notes the importance of recognizing this potential connection, as such a recognition can help

people understand the role vaccines can play in promoting their overall health. It’s also vital that men and women realize the connection between their lifestyle choices and their risk for certain infections. For example, excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking are two controllable risk factors that can elevate a person’s risk for infection.

Town To Host The Special Olympics Spring Games In Farmingdale Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino today announced that the Town will again host the prestigious Special Olympics Spring Games in partnership with Special Olympics New York. Held at the Farmingdale Athletic Complex on Saturday, May 21st, the games will include a full-day of competitive track and field events for over 500 athletes supported by more than 300 coaches.

These athletes - children and adults with intellectual disabilities - have dedicated months to training for an Olympic-style competition that will culminate with the contest during these Spring Games.

“Special Olympics are an

opportunity to showcase the hard work, dedication, talents, and tremendous athletic achievements of athletes, while also paving the way to eliminate social barriers and stereotypes differently-abled individuals face,” said Supervisor Saladino. “The Town of Oyster Bay is very proud to be a partner with Special Olympics New York and the Farmingdale School District in making this important event a reality.

I hope you’ll join us in witnessing the joy, courage, and determination of these inspirational athletes.”

“Special Olympics New York provides yearround sports training and athletic competition in a

variety of Olympic-style sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing them a continuing opportunity to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, make friends, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families,” Diane Colonna, Vice President, Downstate Operations Special Olympics, New York said.

“We are honored that the Farmingdale School District will host our Spring Games and make a difference in the lives of these athletes.”

The event will be held on Saturday, May 21st at the Farmingdale Athletic Complex at Howitt

Middle School. For more information on how to get involved, visit the school’s website at www. farmingdaleschools. org. If you are eligible to participate in the games, visit www.specialolympicsny.org to register.

“This event would be impossible without the generosity of our sponsors, including Optimum, MSG Networks, and 7- Eleven, as well as the residents and volunteers who attend to cheer on these dedicated athletes. We hope to see you in the stands on May 21st to show your support for Special Olympics in our community. All are welcome!”

Supervisor Saladino concluded.

I had lost all hopes on purchasing a property this year. Caroline restored my hope and made the impossible possible. I wouldn’t be in the home of our dreams if it wouldn’t had been for her. We owe our happiness to her. Now children have a place to grow and build memories in.

I wouldn’t think twice in obtaining Caroline’s service in the future.

Caroline Deluca came highly recommended by Academy Mortgage, and she was amazing! She was like our mama bear. We felt protected and well cared for during a stressful and confusing time. She was on top of it 100%! We knew that things would continue to move along on her watch. She’s truly the best and we would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. It was like working with a family member.

Truly a great experience!

would recommend her to anyone!

Working with Caroline was a great experience. I never once concerned myself with much because I know that she is top notch in the field. She had everything under control at all times. I will recommend her to all that I know. During the sale of my home I had a accident and was in a rehab facility while my home was being sold. There was not one minute that I was concerned that Caroline would not do her job in selling my home whether I was physically there or not. Everything went smoothly and Caroline kept in constant communication with me and came to the rehab facility to bring me anything that I needed to see or sign. I was blessed that she was the one I hired to sell my home.
