RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Savor A Summer Fruit Salad--Peachy Tomato Salad
Even as summer winds down, there tends to be plenty of time to reap the rewards of backyard gardens and warmweather entertaining. Refreshing salads are favored at such gatherings, and the interesting pairing of peaches and tomatoes makes the most of these fruits when they’re at their peak. Sweet and savory flavors combine in this recipe for “Peachy Tomato Salad” courtesy of “The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook” (Rockridge University Press). This delicious side pairs best with grilled fare.
Serves 2
2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges
2 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
1⁄2 red onion, thinly sliced
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
DIRECTIONS:
Toss the peaches, tomatoes and red onion in a large bowl. Season to taste. Add the olive oil and lemon juice, and gently toss. Serve at room temperature.

The Suffolk County Police Department provided 162 doses of Narcan to attendees at Babylon’s Summer Block Party event on July 17, while The Purple Rock Project helped people memorialize their loved one’s lost to overdose by writing a name on a rock. The Narcan
training was conducted by SCPD Emergency Medical Service Officers Jason Byron and Alex Trzepizur, who work closely with the SCPD’s Behavioral Health Section and SCPD’s Community Relations Bureau. Byron educated the public on how accidental opioid exposures
can affect individuals of any age, and that simply having Narcan in the home does not indicate substance abuse, but rather preparedness and care for loved ones.
Parent Carole Trottere, who lost her son Alex to fentanyl, met several family members who had lost loved
ones to overdose and helped them create memorial rocks and also distributed information from Long Island Council of Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

It is hard to fathom that 35 years have passed since this picture was published in this paper advertising the start of my medical practice in West Babylon in 1990.
It has been a wonderful journey and to all who have been my patients through these years I am deeply grateful for the privilege and pleasure it has been serving as your family physician. I will cherish our times together, your memory and how you lled my life. We shared, learned from each other, and made discoveries, and for me some of the big ones are: - that there is so, so much more we all have in common than what appears as differences on our surface; - that even this shall pass; - and of course the hard one… - that sedentary life style and too much sugar is not a good thing.
My best wishes to all of you, I will miss you, thank you, be well and stay positive.
Dr. Muscara

“Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. And having both is a blessing”
Presiding Officer McCaffrey & County Executive Romaine Recognized By Vision Long Island
Vision Long Island recenly hosted their 24th Annual Long Island Smart Growth Awards, highlighting locally planned projects in 17 Long Island communities that bring housing, infrastructure, economic and environmental benefits to neighborhoods and small businesses.
At the event, Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine and Suffolk County Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey were presented with an Environmental Leadership award for the passage of the Suffolk County Water Quality Restoration Act.
On June 25, 2024, the Suffolk County Legislature, under the leadership of Presiding Officer McCaffrey, voted to extend and revise the Suffolk County Drinking Water Protection Program and establish a Water
Quality Restoration Fund. Collectively named the “Suffolk County Water Quality Restoration Act,” these actions create a long-term plan to expand and upgrade Suffolk County’s aging wastewater infrastructure and gives the County the authority to establish a new, stable, and long-term funding source for wastewater improvement projects.
Said Presiding Officer McCaffrey: “This was a team effort. A lot of work went into this and a lot of people before us came up with this great idea. I am proud to have been able to get this Act into its final version and across the finish line for the betterment of our County, and thankful for the support of County Executive Ed Romaine throughout this process. In the original version, I felt we needed to find a better balance. Through
