6th Annual Lindy Cares Scholarship Awards

6TH ANNUAL LINDY CARES SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS - Lindy Cares Scholarship winners Joseph Rippo, Cruz Vazquez, Sean Calderon, Charlyne Paterno, Julianna Roan, Emma Rodriguez, Craig Moruzzi, Skylar Gianninoto, Talia Zeman and Marissa Howard also received recognition from Congressman Garbarino, Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean Pierre, Suffolk County Legislator Kevin McCaffrey, TOB Counselman Terence McSweeney, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney and Village of Lindenhurst Trustee Mary Ann Weckerle.

On Wednesday, June 5th, Wellwood Avenue was bustling with purpose outside Danaher Wealth Management as families, students, government officials, business owners, and coalition leaders converged to celebrate the 6th Annual Lindy Cares Scholarship Awards.

Hosted annually by Meg Danaher and her daughter Rebecca, this event epitomizes Lindenhurst Community’s spirit of paying it forward. Meg, a mother of five collegeeducated children, recognizes the importance of supporting education and sponsors a $1,000 scholarship each year for a student pursuing finance with a commitment to community service. The alumni scholarship, donated by Brian White, Esq., a Lindy High graduate, symbolizes the ethos of giving back.

Other scholarships by local donors total over 8,000 dollars.

Representatives from Congressman Garbarino, Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean Pierre, Legislator McCaffrey’s office, Lindenhurst Village Trustee Mary Ann Weckerle, and James Chalifoux, Division Chief of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, presented citations to the 10 recipients acknowledging the event’s significance.

The collaboration between local government, businesses, parents, and caregivers in empowering students to shape their futures and advocate for policies affecting their lives is pivotal in fostering sustainable communities.

What sets this scholarship apart is its unique awarding process. Graduates are tasked with writing essays on social issues impacting

their school experiences and suggesting ways for their neighborhood coalition and adults to implement protective measures. The coalition ensures student voices are heard and leverages their input to develop action plans addressing barriers to a drug and alcohol-free childhood. The resulting data informs school and government officials to better serve students.

Parents also benefit from reading anonymous essay submissions, gaining insights into topics not often discussed by their children.

This communication and safety support network ensure everyone has access to tools and resources, paving the way for success as our community’s youth strive towards their goals. Thank you to all who attended and participated in this enriching event.

New York Adopts Legislation To Fight Organized Shop Thefts; Protect Workers

Senator Martinez Celebrates New Laws To Lockdown Retail Rip-Offs

New York has enacted sweeping legislation that protects retail workers and businesses from the consequences of organized retail theft. These changes were advocated by Governor Kathy Hochul and supported by State Senator Monica R. Martinez. The package of protections included in the recently adopted FY25 State Budget:

• enhance penalties for assaults on retail workers, upgrading the offense from a misdemeanor to a felony. Under the new law, individuals inflicting physical harm on retail workers during the course of their duties will face felony charges.

• enable prosecutors to consolidate the value of stolen goods when pursuing larceny charges, allowing for the aggregation of retail items from various stores. This provision aims to establish a higher larceny threshold for crimes committed under the same criminal scheme.

• criminalize the facilitation of the sale of stolen goods by thirdparty sellers, holding individuals accountable if they utilize any online platform or physical venue to sell stolen merchandise.

• $40.2 million for specialized Retail Theft Teams within State Police, District Attorneys’ offices, and local law enforcement, with an additional 100 New York State Police personnel assigned specifically to combat organized retail theft.

• a $5 million tax credit to assist small businesses in enhancing security measures, such as installing cameras. Additionally, the Budget establishes a $3,000 tax credit for small businesses that meet the spending threshold on retail theft prevention measures, aiming to alleviate financial burdens on these businesses.

“From economic losses for businesses to higher costs paid by consumers, organized retail theft is robbing all New Yorkers,” said Senator Martinez. “Through these comprehensive measures, we not only send a clear message that such criminal activity will not be tolerated, but also protect the safety and livelihoods of our retail workers and businesses.”

Memorable Ways To Celebrate Dad This Father’s Day

Dads do a lot for their families, and Father’s Day is the perfect time to acknowledge those efforts. The days when dads would receive a colorful necktie for Father’s Day are largely (and, for fathers,

thankfully) a relic of the past. Modern Father’s Day celebrations tend to involve more careful planning, and the following are some ways to make this year’s day for dads one to remember.

• Take Dad on a tour through his own history. The popularity of genealogy has skyrocketed over the last decade-plus, as various firms have made it easier than ever for individuals

to trace their family histories. If Dad counts himself among the millions across the globe interested in their family histories, moms and kids can work together to create a virtual tour through that history. Present the history as a printed book or as a video, sharing interesting things you learned about Dad’s ancestors but also highlighting key moments in his life. This presentation can be accompanied by a subscription to a genealogy service and a tour of some of Dad’s childhood haunts before the family enjoys brunch or dinner in the neighborhood where Dad grew up.

• Take to the great outdoors. Father’s Day is celebrated in midJune, making the day a perfect time to enjoy the great outdoors (weather permitting). Plan a day

around Dad’s favorite outdoor activity. If Dad is an avid fisherman, book a family outing on a charter boat so Dad can focus on catching fish and not navigating. If Dad loves being in natural settings, camp out the night before Father’s Day so he can wake up to the sound of birds chirping in the crisp morning air. If Dad has a favorite baseball team, take him out to the ballgame so he can soak up some Father’s Day sun.

• Book a private chef. If Dad has a fascination with food, perhaps nothing can make Father’s Day more memorable than a delicious meal served by a private chef. Private chefs will do all the work, giving moms and kids more time to spend with Dad throughout the day, and then the whole family can enjoy a special meal made by

someone whose specialty is crafting delicious dinners. Offerings vary, but many private chefs handle all the cooking and cleaning. Identify Dad’s favorite dish and then look for a chef who specializes in that type of cuisine.

• Appeal to Dad’s inner adventurer. Some Dads may just want to relax on Father’s Day, while others may prefer a more adventurous celebration. If Dad falls into the latter group, book a fun and adventurous activity the whole family can enjoy together. A kayaking trip, a skydiving session, a round of paintball, or even tickets to a rock concert on Father’s Day weekend can connect Dad with his inner adventurer.

There’s no shortage of ways for families to make this Father’s Day one Dad won’t soon forget.

Healthier Salad Makes Barbecues Better

WGreek Yogurt Potato Salad

Serves 6

2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)

1/2 onion

6 eggs

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

4 tablespoons sour cream

1 tablespoon vinegar

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon celery seed

1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed or 1 teaspoon fresh

1/2 cup dill pickles, chopped

Paprika, for garnish (optional)

Parsley, for garnish (optional)

arm weather beckons people outdoors. Al fresco dining offers a chance to spend even more time outdoors, and many people will attest that no outdoor gathering is complete without the requisite grilled fare and complementary sides that are staples of spring and summer dining. Potato salad is one such food that turns up regularly this time of year in many shapes and forms. Traditional potato salad is delicious, but it may not be so great for health-conscious individuals, as it’s typically swimming in mayonnaise. A lighter version featuring Greek yogurt in the dressing is ideal for those who want to eat healthy. Greek yogurt also adds gut-healthy live active cultures to the recipe, which may provide gastrointestinal benefits. Enjoy this recipe for “Greek Yogurt Potato Salad” courtesy of The Diabetes Council and Pitchfork Foodie Farms.

Directions:

1. Peel and dice potatoes and onions. Put them and a teaspoon of salt in a pressure cooker and cover with an inch of water. Close valve. Set pressure cooker to high pressure. Set timer for 5 minutes, cook and quick release when it’s done. Drain potatoes. Cool until just warm. (If you don’t have a pressure cooker, boil potatoes in a pot of water on the stove until tender.)

2. Set eggs on a rack in the pressure cooker. Add 1/2 inch of water. Close valve, set to high pressure for 5 minutes. Cook for 5 minutes, quick release, and leave lid closed for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, take lid off. Drain eggs and cover with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let sit in ice water bath for about 5 minutes, then peel eggs. (If you don’t have a pressure cooker, hard-boil eggs according to your favorite recipe.)

3. Add Greek yogurt, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, celery seed, and dill weed to a large mixing bowl. Stir until smooth. You can taste test to see if you need to add ingredients.

4. Add cooled, diced potatoes, pickles and hard-boiled eggs. Gently stir until potatoes are coated with dressing. Adjust seasonings to taste. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Notes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes hold their shape best in potato salad. White distilled vinegar is classic in potato salad, but you also can use cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or even lemon juice.

Gardening Offers More Than

A Day In The Sun

Millions of people embrace opportunities to get back in their gardens each spring, and they might be reaping more rewards from that activity than they realize. According to the American Institute of Stress, gardening sparks a level of creativity among enthusiasts, and that can help to alleviate stress by lowering levels of the hormone cortisol. In addition, authors of a 2022 study published in the journal Urban Forestry & Urban Greening concluded that gardening during the COVID-19 pandemic helped people cope with coronavirus-related stress through outdoor activity.

Long Island Children’s Museum (LICM) Unveils New Community Mural

The Long Island Children's Museum (LICM) unveiled a brandnew 1,100-sq-ft public art piece that will serve as the fresh new "face" of the Museum for current and future generations of Long Islanders. Created by artist Viktoriya Basina along with Long Island children during a series of "paint parties" at the Museum over the course of three months, the collaborative process included community conversations with visitors to capture images and themes that reflect the Museum, its audience and Long Island. Feedback was shared during design review workshops before finally the process of painting the panels that make up the mural took place. The installation itself took five days.

Museum president Erika S. Floreska said, "We asked people to share

their thoughts on what community means to them and that's what we wanted the mural to convey. We're incredibly happy with the results of this collaborative community effort."

The unveiling event was attended by local officials including Congressman Anthony D'Esposito (4th CD) along with NYS Assemblyman Edward P. Ra; Nassau County Legislator Thomas

McKevitt, Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and Michael Reinhart, Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums.

The public art piece is part of LICM's Community Voices Take Shape grant supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional support from Robert & Toni Bader Charitable Foundation.

Advocates assist with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP – formerly known as food stamps), Medicare Savings Program and Heating Emergency Assistance Program (HEAP) applications. They also can provide information on Medicare, answer questions and make recommendations and referrals. For more information about available services or directions to any of these locations, please call the Suffolk County Office for the Aging at (631) 853-8200.

“For more than three decades, the Suffolk County Office for the Aging has been providing full and trouble-free access to critical services,” Donnelly said. “I am glad to see their great professional community outreach program continue and hope that every senior resident will make full use of it.”
