Weather is hard to predict.

Meteorologists have many tools at their disposal to help forecast storms and other phenomena, but it is impossible to predict the weather with 100 percent accuracy.

When the weather takes a turn for the worse, the National Weather Service may issue certain notices to prepare the public.

Understanding the level of threat a notice carries can help people take appropriate action and avoid serious consequences.

The NWS uses a fourtier system to alert the public of hazards. Here’s a closer look at what each tier constitutes.

Father’s Day presents an opportunity for people to honor the special men in their lives. These include not only dads, but father figures and other influential men who offer care and guidance to the people they love.

Many celebrations continue to look different than they were prior to the pandemic, and Father’s Day festivities may still require some modifications this year, even if celebrations are not governed by the same restrictions as in 2020.

The following are some ways to show dads they are appreciated.

Serve Steak Alongside A Backyard Barbecue Staple A night of al fresco dining next to a grill in the backyard can be a great way to spend Father’s Day! Nearly any type of food can be grilled, and steaks tend to be especially good when cooked over an open flame.

The following recipe for “Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with Mushroom-Shallot Butter” from Laurie McNamara’s “Simple Scratch” (Avery) is sure to please, especially when coupled with McNamara’s recipe for “Baked Beans,” a musthave staple for any backyard barbecue.

SOUTH FARMINGDALE - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JUNE 16, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with Mushroom-Shallot Butter Serves 4 to 6 8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 1⁄2 cup sliced shallot 1 heaping cup sliced cremini mushrooms 2 large cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed 1⁄4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus more as needed 4 to 6 steaks (such as ribeye, New York strip or porterhouse) Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.

Add the shallot and cook until golden and slightly crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shallot to a clean plate.

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until the mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to the plate with the shallot and let cool.

In a small bowl, use a rubber spatula to blend the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter with the cooled

mushroom mixture until combined.

Place the butter in the center of a piece of parchment paper. Bring the edges together and press with your fingers to form the butter into a log.

Roll and twist the ends before popping the butter into the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

Set the steaks on the counter for 30 minutes to bring them up to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high or about 400 F. Season both sides of the steaks with 2 pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper.

Grill each steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and the desired doneness.

Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

Slice the mushroom butter into coins and top each of the steaks with two coins before serving.

4 applewood - or pecan wood-smoked bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 cup diced yellow onion 1 1⁄2 cups ketchup 1⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses 1⁄2 cup packed dark brown sugar 1 1⁄4 teaspoons ground mustard 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon kosher salt Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Combine the bacon and onion in a medium Dutch oven. Slowly cook over medium heat until the onion is tender and the bacon is cooked, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, molasses, sugar, ground mustard, ground cloves, and 1 cup water to combine. Add the cooked beans and pour the mixture into the pot with the bacon and onion. Stir, cover and bake for 1 hour, stirring Baked Beans every 20 minutes.

Urgent Effort to Find Kidney Donor for Mother of Triplets Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggiWhitton (D - Glen Cove) is joining the Jepp family, LiveOnNY and local organ donation advocates in an urgent search for a living donor for Vivian, who has endured years of dialysis and two previous attempts at transplants.

Vivian Jepp, a Port Washington mother of 10-year-old triplet boys is in desperate need of a kidney transplant.

Legislator DeRiggiWhitton met with Vivian on Thursday, April 26 during a dome-lighting ceremony commemorating National Donate Life Month. Her search for a donor was sidelined in the spring of 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that public health conditions have improved and stabilized, the race is on to find her a match.

“Vivian’s story is heartbreaking - and it is a call to action for all of

us,” Legislator DeRiggiWhitton said. “In recent months, I have witnessed the miracle of organ donation first-hand and seen how a living donor continued to thrive after giving one of my dearest friends her kidney - and with it, a renewed lease on life. If you have either A or O-type blood, I urge you to get screened as a potential donor and consider giving Vivian, her husband, and their three boys the greatest gift of all.”

Vivian has navigated health struggles throughout much of her adult life. Shortly after graduating college 33 years ago, Vivian was diagnosed with systemic lupus - an inflammatory disease in which the immune system attacks its own tissue.

The disease commonly affects a patient’s joints, skin and kidneys. Vivian was an elementary school teacher in New York City until five years ago, when

her kidneys began to fail.

Soon thereafter, she began dialysis treatments.

Due to the extensive strain dialysis places on human body and the lengthy wait time for a deceased donor, a living donor represents Vivian’s best chance for surviving and thriving. However, it can be challenging to find willing living donors, and New York State in general has historically been one of the worst states for organ donor registration - a place where the most patients are waiting for the fewest organs.

Vivian, who has Type A blood, can receive a transplant from living donors with either A or O-type blood. Please contact Legislator DeRiggiWhitton’s office at 516-5716211 or dderiggiwhitton@ nassaucountyny.gov if you are interested in being tested as a possible donor.

Operation Deep Dive | Military Veteran Suicide Prevention Study Seeks Interviewees

Popular Graduation Traditions Graduation is steeped in tradition. Come the day of graduation, many gradsto-be might be focusing on receiving their diplomas and then celebrating after the ceremony. The hard work students put in affords them every right to celebrate once they’re officially anointed as new grads, but before the party begins it can be fun to reflect on the many traditions associated with graduation ceremonies.

Cap and gown Graduation ceremonies simply wouldn’t be the same without caps and gowns. The tradition is anything but new, as Columbia University notes caps and gowns have been linked to academia since the 12th century. Back then, students wore gowns and hoods to emulate the clergy who taught them, but also to stay warm.

Many universities dressed their scholars in gowns from the 1700s onward. In 1786, one school, Brown University, even mandated that degree candidates be clad in flowing robes and caps at commencement ceremonies.

Though educators and students

may no longer wear caps and gowns when attending class or around campus, the tradition of doing so at commencement ceremonies has endured.

Tassel turning The tradition of turning the tassel does not have the lengthy history of the cap and gown, dating back only decades rather than centuries.

Graduates typically turn the tassels after everyone has received their degrees during the ceremony. The turn is symbolic of their transition from student to graduate. Tassels start on the right for high school students and college undergraduates and are then turned to the left, while recipients of master’s degrees and doctorates keep their tassels on the left throughout the commencement ceremonies.

Tossing caps in the air The tossing of graduation caps in the air is believed to date back more than 100 years. Prior to 1912, graduates of the United States Naval Academy had to serve as midshipmen for two years before they were commissioned as officers.

As a result, they still needed their graduation caps. But beginning with the class of 1912, graduates were automatically commissioned as officers, so they no longer needed their hats. That led the graduates to throw them in the air, thus beginning one of the more fun and photo-worthy graduation traditions.

Pomp and Circumstance This tradition marked by the playing of “Pomp and Circumstance” is rooted in the work of William Shakespeare, which makes it seem like a perfect fit for graduation ceremonies. Sir Edward Elgar composed “Pomp and Circumstance” in 1901 and the title for the song was inspired by a line in the bard’s “Othello.” Elgar received an honorary degree from Yale University in 1905, and during that ceremony “Pomp and Circumstance” was played. The song apparently made a strong impression, as it soon began to be played at various commencement ceremonies, a tradition that continues today.

An average of 17 military veterans die by suicide every day, and Long Island residents have the opportunity to help end this crisis by supporting Operation Deep Dive (OpDD), a community-based veteran suicide prevention study taking place in New York and 12 other states across the country. The four-year study is led by national nonprofit America’s Warrior Partnership and researchers from the University of Alabama with support from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation.

The study directors will host a Facebook Live broadcast on Wednesday, June 16, at 2 p.m. EST to discuss local suicide prevention initiatives with guest speakers Beth Murphy, Senior Deputy Commissioner at Suffolk County Department of Labor, Licensing and Consumer Affairs, and Marcelle Leis, Director of Veteran Services at

the Association for Mental Health and Wellness.

The Facebook Live will be viewable on the America’s Warrior Partnership Facebook page both during and after the broadcast.

Visit www.AmericasWarriorPartnership.org/AWPartnership to view the broadcast.

During the Facebook Live, the research team will discuss how local residents can support the study. For example, OpDD is currently seeking participants to interview for the study. Questions will focus on how the participant’s friend or loved on interacted with the community before their death.

To be eligible for an interview, participants must: • Be 18 years old or older; • Have a relative, loved one, friend or co-worker who was a veteran that died by suicide or a non-natural cause of death within the last 24 months; and • Have lived in

the same community as the veteran at the time of their death.

The interview participant and veteran must have lived in the same community prior to the veteran’s death. Visit www.

AmericasWarriorPartnership.org/Deep-Dive for more information and to contact the research team to participate in an interview.

About America’s Warrior Partnership America’s Warrior Partnership is committed to empowering communities to empower veterans.

We fill the gaps between veteran service organizations by helping nonprofits connect with veterans, their families, and caregivers. Our programs bolster nonprofit efficacy, improving their results, and empowering their initiatives. www.AmericasWarriorPartnership.org|@AWPartnership | #awpartnership

Reaching senior year of high school or college is something to celebrate.

It means that graduation is on the horizon and another chapter in students’ lives will soon come to a close, with a new one likely to begin shortly thereafter.

School and graduation related traditions abound, from homecoming games to dances to class rings, and it can be difficult to figure out how to spend one’s time. While celebrations may look a little different this year due to the pandemic, yearbooks can offer a sense of normalcy for soon-to-be graduates.

Seniors, particularly high school seniors, may find that their last year of school is, among many other things, expensive.

In addition to college application fees, test prep courses, graduation garb, parties, photographs, and much more, students often weigh the option of purchasing a yearbook and wonder if it’s necessary. The yearbook experts at YearbookLife. com say the average cost of a yearbook is around $75 nationwide. Even though yearbooks may be somewhat costly, they can be valuable mementos

of time spent in school.

Here are various reasons why yearbooks make for important, cherished mementos.

• A yearbook will serve as a time capsule for trends, interests and newsworthy events that unfolded during students’ time in school.

• Yearbooks promote a sense of school pride and unity. Families that will have multiple generations attending the same school may share the unity of being apart of one school and can compare yearbooks from various years.

• Sections of the yearbook are devoted to student accomplishments and can herald happy, productive days.

• Yearbooks promote social interaction, not only when students become part of yearbook production

committees, but also when asking classmates to sign their yearbooks.

• In the future, yearbooks will present a way to remember old friends’ names and can facilitate reconnecting through social media or another avenue.

• Reunion committees may use yearbooks as a way to draft reunion party guest lists.

• In an era of digital photos and other online media, yearbooks are tangible items that can be easily accessed from time to time.

• Yearbooks, in addition to diplomas, are symbols of academic achievement.

Students wondering whether to be involved with yearbook design or to purchase a book should consider the many benefits yearbooks offer.

It’s often said that some of the best ideas are born of necessity and that’s certainly the case with “Camp Color: Summer HumanitiesEnrichment for Middle School Students.”

The plan began to gel when teachers Nadine Palumbo and Anthony Vittorino were discussing the detrimental effects of social distancing guidelines, hybrid learning, and a loss of extracurricular activities.

“We each witnessed formerly engaged students shutting down and checking out emotionally by turning off their cameras screens and becoming passive,” said Palumbo, adding that “Countless family friends have also addressed concerns about their children’s ‘pandemic slide’ and feelings of depression.”

They started testing out different formats, such as a distance-learning talk show to interview artists and authors about their creative process during the pandemic, but that seemed better suited only for high school level remote learning.

Palumbo and Vittorino felt the challenges of the past year were particularly harmful to middle school students since, “They will be making a key transition from elementary to secondary school,” said Palumbo, who also serves on the vestry at St. Mark’s as well as on the

Gift-givers · Jewelry: may want to offer to pay for a school ring or can opt for different jewelry.

For example, a necklace with the infinity symbol can represent infinite possibilities ahead. Those who collect charms for bracelets or necklaces can be gifted a graduationthemed charm. · Dorm room essentials: Graduates going on to college will need a starter pack of essentials. A personalized tote bag filled with toiletries, linens and more will help graduates outfit their dorm rooms in style. · Inspirational art: Graduates may want to revamp their bedrooms or decorate new dorm rooms.

Framed inspirational verses, sayings or images can make ideal gifts. · Blue-blocking eyeglasses: Blue-blocking lenses protect eyes from the harsh effects of blue light emitted from screens,

a big benefit in an era when students and professionals spend ample time with their devices. · Meal subscription service: In addition to gifting a cooking appliance like a slow cooker or air fryer, giving grads a subscription to a meal delivery service may help them transition to life without mom’s cooking or the dining hall. · Streaming service: Graduates can benefit from any number of streaming television and movie services to stay entertained while commuting or relaxing around the dorm with friends. · Luggage: Whether students intend to take a gap year before college or enjoy a summer break before looking for their first job out of school, young adults will always get use out of a set of luggage or a carry-on bag.

Gifts for grads evolve throughout the years, but many gifts have withstood the test of time.

By the time students reach graduation day, many have taken hundreds of tests, written scores of essays, worked through thousands of pencils, and made dozens of friends along the way. Such realities only underscore the notion that graduation is worthy of celebration.

Though not everyone may be able to gather this year for a blowout graduation party, thoughtful gifts can show graduates their accomplishments have not gone unnoticed.

The following are nine graduation gift ideas. · Keepsake blanket: A blanket featuring school colors that’s woven with photos or data about the graduate and graduating class makes a great keepsake. · Engraved compass: Finding one’s new direction will take time, and a symbolic compass with inspirational words can help guide graduates

The Differences Between Weather Warnings And Watches Continued From 3 threat to property or life.

Immediate action to stay safe is necessary.

While these alerts are based on the severity of impending weather, it is important to note that the NWS will not necessarily follow the same timeline with issuing alerts.

That depends on how

fast a weather situation develops. If there is time, an advisory, then a watch and then a warning may be issued. However, if a storm moves in rapidly, only a warning may be issued. People always should pay attention to weather notices so they can be prepared should severe weather be in the forecast.
