Girl Scout Troop 3823 has taken up a first-of-its-kind Bronze Award Project in the Lindenhurst community by installing a “Little Food Pantry” at the Rainbow Senior Citizens Community Center.
The Little Food Pantry, which applies the community library concept to food donations, will assist our neighbors who may be dealing with food insecurity by helping them stock their pantries with dry goods and canned goods. Operating on the honor system, the food items are intended for those in genuine need. While the Girl Scout Troop will monitor and continue to supply food items, it also encourages residents of Lindenhurst to donate food items. Dry goods and canned goods can be dropped off at the Rainbow Center, located at 293 Buffalo Avenue, Lindenhurst.
Mayor Michael Lavorata said, “The Little Food Pantry is a fantastic idea and will be a blessing to many individuals and families. I thank Troop 3823 for their hard work and for this contribution to our Lindenhurst community.”

Lindenhurst High School Class Of 2024 Takes The Next Step
Members of the Lindenhurst High School class of 2024 took their final steps as high school students during their commencement on June 26. School leaders and peers provided words of wisdom, and the classmates said their final goodbyes before embarking on the next steps in their respective lives.
Valedictorian Veronica Rusnak thanked all of the teachers, parents, guardians, and fellow classmates who helped the group get to this point. She also advised her peers to not forget themselves and where they came from as they move forward. “As you move on from high school to bigger and greater things, don’t forget everyone sitting right now, and try to keep in touch with the important people in your life,” she said. “Make sure to focus on your studies, whatever you have planned, but make sure you don’t lose sight of your connections with
other people.”
Salutatorian Broc Brown congratulated his fellow classmates for all of the adversity they had to overcome throughout their high school careers. They began as freshmen during hybrid learning, and continued to face and overcome their own challenges. “Despite all of the obstacles in our way from freshman to senior year, no one in this crowd lost hope,” he said.
“We worked to find the intelligence, strength and determination inside of us all to reach this stage.”
Interim Superintendent Vincent Caravana noted the limitless potential of Lindenhurst High School’s graduates over the years, many of whom have gone on to become major figures in a wide variety of fields. Most importantly, however, he encouraged the graduates to find and pursue what they love, as that will ultimately lead
them to happiness.
“I urge you to find your calling because here’s a tip; if you do find it, you honor it and pursue it, therein lies
the secret to happiness,” he advised. “Don’t settle for merely making a living, but find your calling, your passion, and whether that
be astrophysics, or making pizza, there’s no judgment to be had for someone who pursues their happiness and their calling, only envy. So,
dream big, Lindenhurst High School class of 2024 and find your calling. That is the definition of success.”
Lindenhurst High School Celebrates The Class Of 2024
Lindenhurst High School recently celebrated its annual senior awards. This special event recognized students from the Lindenhurst High School class of 2024 who went above and beyond in their studies and community leadership, as well as their athletic and artistic endeavors.
The ceremony celebrated the accomplishments of roughly 175 students in nearly 200 awards categories for everything from earning the Seal of
Biliteracy, to achievements in the fine and performing arts, as well as various scholarships.
“Congratulations to these distinguished seniors for their well-earned recognitions,” said Interim Superintendent of Schools Vincent Caravana. “The sheer variety of talent and dedication these students have displayed is astounding, and we wish them the best of luck in their lives after high school.”

The Lindenhurst Historical Society And The Village Of Lindenhurst Unveiled The 1901
Restored Long Island Rail Road Depot And Freight House Museum’s William G. Pomeroy Foundation Historic Transportation Marker
On Saturday, June 8, 2024, under sunny skies and to the applause of Lindenhurst residents, Lindenhurst Historical Society members, special guests and local elected officials and administrators, Mayor Mike Lavorata and Depot Museum Site Manager Ed “Skip” Meinhold unveiled the 1901 Restored Long Island Rail Road Depot and Freight House Museum’s William G. Pomeroy
Foundation Historic Transportation Marker. On hand to help commemorate the occasion was Town of Babylon Historian Mary Cascone and Suffolk County Legislator and Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey. The Reverend Joanne Bond, Cross of Christ Lutheran Church (Babylon) offered a blessing and the gathering was serenaded by guest soloist Teagan
McGuire. Lindenhurst Village Trustee Maryanne Weckerle joined Village Historian Anna Jaeger, Village Museum Director Marianne Guglieri and Lindenhurst Historical Society President Krista Jo Mergot at the podium. Grant funds awarded to the Lindenhurst Historical Society by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation provided the necessary funding to obtain the Historic Transportation
Marker grant. The marker bears an inscription that indicates the historic significance of the 1901 Restored LIRR Depot and Freight House and the role both the Depot and the Rail Road played in the 1870 founding of the City of Breslau.
Credited as Long Island’s first railroad museum, the Depot and Freight House replicates the Lindenhurst
stop on the LIRR, recalling its original location along East Hoffman Avenue, close to the grade crossing at No. Wellwood Ave. Depot Museum Site Manager Ed “Skip” Meinhold reminds all that this is the 1901 Restored Long Island Rail Road Depot and Freight House’s 50th year as a museum. “Our museum staff is looking forward
to an exciting summer season at the Depot and hope to culminate our 50th Anniversary year in an even larger celebration this October.”, said Mr. Meinhold. The 1901 Depot and Freight House Museum are opened to the public from June thru October on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 2:00PM to 4:00PM. Admission is free.

A Summertime Staple
Peaches are a summertime staple. This sweet fruit is at home in desserts, salads, on top of cereals, and all on its own. Peaches thrive in warm climates with lots of sunlight. Peaches are native to northwest China, and they are believed to have been domesticated and cultivated since 2000 B.C. Later, they were widely grown in the region known as Persia, which is now called Iran. As a result, the scientific name for the peach species is Prunus persica. China continues to be the world’s largest peach producer, followed by Spain, Italy, Greece, and the United States. In the United States, even though Georgia is known as “The Peach State,” it is not the country’s biggest producer of peaches. Georgia is beat out by California and South Carolina. New Jersey also produces its fair share of peaches. Nectarines and peaches are similar fruits. In fact, nectarines are a type of peach. Peaches have a dominant allele for the fuzzy skin, while nectarines have a recessive allele for that fuzz. In regard to flavor, peaches and nectarines are very similar, but some experts say nectarines are slightly sweeter and firmer. According to the College of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, nectarines also have considerably more potassium and twice as much vitamin A as peaches.
