Lightning Warriors To Host 4th Annual Mini Maniac Youth Triathlon

Lightning Warriors, a notfor-profit youth triathlon team, will be hosting its 4th annual Mini Maniac Youth Triathlon on Sunday September 17, 2023 at 7:00 AM at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai, New York. This year’s Mini Maniac event will be geared toward triathletes of all levels between the ages of 7 and 17. While all racers will be participating in a youth triathlon, races will be divided into three separate age groups with swimming, biking and running distances varying accordingly. Younger athletes are also encouraged to register to participate in the Splash & Dash event, which is a 50-meter swim and a quarter-mile run for athletes between the ages of 5 and 7.

“I am excited to see the smiles and accomplishments as each athlete crosses the finish line and for those

first timers being called a triathlete,” says Lightning Warriors Head Coach Noah Lam.

All Mini Maniac participants will be able to take part in training clinics with the Lightning Warriors team in the months leading up to the triathlon. Favor bags will also be distributed to each racer, as well as medals for all finishers, awards for the top male and female finishers and postrace refreshments.

Participating in youth triathlons help build positive physical activity habits in children. According to Lam, “Every child should be able to swim, bike and run as those are lifetime skills… We’ve also seen that physical activity can provide immense benefits for mental health, more selfesteem, a sharper focus on achieving goals and a better ability to connect with other kids.”

Pilot Traffic Changes On Catskill Avenue

Athletes’ individual skills will also be enhanced by being a part of a team in a healthy competitive and supportive space. “You get to find new ways to overcome adversity in a safe environment,” Lam states. These skills will thus motivate them to exuberate confidence and conquer their goals, both inside and outside of racing.

The Mini Maniac event is the largest sanctioned kids triathlon on Long Island with 135 participants in 2022, and an expected attendance of 200 racers this year. To register for Mini Maniac, visit www.runsignup.com/ minimaniac. Registration ends on September 15, 2023 at 1:30 PM EDT.

Mini Maniacs is also seeking volunteers for this event. Anyone who is interested may sign up at www.runsignup.com/Race/ Volunteer/NY/MountSinai/ MiniManicYouthTriathlon.

In July, the Village of Lindenhurst retained Greenman-Pedersen Inc. (GPI) of Babylon, N.Y., an engineering consulting firm, to have their Traffic Engineers review the Catskill Avenue Pilot Program, and make recommendations as to the best way forward. The traffic study has

With A Decline In Volunteerism, Special-Needs Volunteers Are At A Premium

of their day, many specialneeds individuals perform a range of tasks for not-forprofits that help to keep the doors open and the milk of

human kindness flowing.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau and AmeriCorps survey, volunteer participation was

at 23.2 percent, a drop of 7 percent between 2019 and 2021 – the largest decrease the survey has seen since its 2002 inception.

Special-needs individuals step in to do the most basic tasks to more intricate things such as data entry, interacting with donors and computer and office tasks.

“Our clients make the decision about which organizations they’d like to volunteer with,” says Christina Abbinanti of Life’s WORC in Garden City. She said that clients participate as part of the Program Without Walls that allows special-needs individuals to integrate into the community. The clients volunteer at a range of organizations throughout the week. “They also learn valuable job and interpersonal skills.”

At Hair We Share on Long Island, special-needs volunteers keep the doors

open and allow the allvolunteer organization to continue to provide free, hand-laced wigs to medical patients. The wigs, which average $4,000 each, are custom fitted to patients.

“Volunteers are our life blood,” says co-founder Dean Riskin. “We have no paid staff. We have seventyfive-thousand ponytails we are sitting on that need to be sorted, weighed and bagged and we couldn’t do it without them.”

In addition to getting a warm feeling about helping, special-needs volunteers hone important work and

social skills that help them when they apply for jobs.

Learn more about how your not-for-profit organization could partner with them by calling Abbinanti at 516-741-9000, extension 8640; or JoAnn Vitale of RISE Life Services in Riverhead at 631-7276220, ext. 224.

Riskin of Hair We Share, which also accepts donations toward the wig-making process, can be reached at 631-478-2966. Hair We Share is headquartered in Roslyn Heights.

As A Village Celebrates 100 Years, A Family Celebrates 150

As someone who grew up in the Village of Lindenhurst, having graduated from its high school two years ago, I had seen the sign for the “H.F. Insurance Agency” many times. I gave it the same attention I did to every other business sign on Wellwood Avenue, which admittedly was not more than a glance. I was unaware of exactly what the Wrieth name meant to Lindenhurst. It wasn’t until recently that I heard the family’s story, learning that it had been here for 150 years. The Wrieths have been a fixture in the community ever since they arrived in the area that would eventually become known as Lindenhurst. As the Village celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, it is only right to celebrate this family whose history is longer than the Village’s own.

The family today can trace its roots back to a man named Gottlieb Wrieth, a German immigrant who came to New York City during the 1850s alongside many others set on achieving the American Dream. After a few years of running a grocery store out of New York City, Gottlieb moved to the “Breslau Cooperative Building Association”, the area that would later become incorporated as the Village of Lindenhurst. Gottlieb opened a grocery store on the corner of Wellwood Avenue and Cemetery Road (now Newark Street), starting the Wrieth’s 150 years in Lindenhurst.

In 1885 Gottlieb opened a hotel and grocery store with a liquor department on the northeast corner of Wellwood and Hoffman Avenue, where the Village Square and its gazebo stand today. This business served customers for miles around and quickly became an icon of the burgeoning community. While I am not old enough to have seen the hotel myself, knowing

it was in a location I pass by every day offers a small connection to a piece of my home’s history.

The commitment to serving the people of the community that Gottlieb showed through his business ventures in the service industry continued with his children. His eldest son Louis F. Wrieth would inherit his father’s business as well as start the famous Wrieth Band. Louis organized and led the band entertaining thousands across Long Island from 1901 until Louis’ death in 1925. The band’s drums were recently restored, as is necessary after over 100 years of life. This restoration coincided with the Village of Lindenhurst ramping up its campaign to revitalize its downtown, the drums acting as a symbol of the Village itself.

Henry Wrieth, another of Gottlieb’s seven children, operated a business in Lindenhurst just as his brother and father did. He operated a barbershop on Wellwood Avenue north of the family hotel, opening its doors in 1918. Henry and his barbershop are remembered for serving the community with a smile and his charming, eccentric manner. He married Margaret Fuller, whose family ran another famous Lindenhurst business: the Fuller Brewery.

Henry’s son Frederick “Oscar” Wrieth would take the Wrieth family’s commitment to good public service to local government. He began his career in 1927 when he was appointed clerk to thenBabylon Town Supervisor Joseph Warta. Oscar would occupy this position for five more Town Supervisors over the course of the next forty years. He also served as Town Comptroller, a Village Trustee, and as Village Treasurer during this time. Outside of local government, Oscar joined the Village Fire Department where he helped create its

Chemical Rescue Company and participated in the Department’s running team.

His son Henry Frederic Wrieth took after his grandfather and greatgrandfather, opening a business of his own on Wellwood Avenue just as they had. In 1962 he started the H.F. Insurance Agency, a business that just last year celebrated its 60th anniversary. As is common with the Wrieths, Henry did much more than just operate a business. He served with the Village Fire Department’s Rescue Company and running team, served as Babylon Deputy Town Supervisor from 1971-1973, and served the Suffolk County GOP for over 60 years as a Committeeman and as its chairman.

The H.F. Insurance Agency became a family business when Henry’s son James joined him in the 1990s. James ran the high school’s wrestling club, raising thousands of dollars for the expansion of Lindenhurst High School’s wrestling room. He was awarded the Board of Education’s Yale Award in 2012, an honor they bestow upon someone who demonstrates outstanding service to the school community. James currently works as the “chief” of the H.F. Insurance Agency, with his son Alec working beside him to continue the legacy.

The Wrieth Family’s ties to Lindenhurst are older than the Village itself, and it continues to march on the familiar beat of its drum as it always has. Since the 1870s the Wrieths have served the Lindenhurst community in one way or another offering good business, musical entertainment, and government administration. Through it all they have bettered the lives of those around them and Lindenhurst continues to graciously benefit from their work. The family

exemplifies the American Dream, inheriting the work ethic of a man who left his home country to start a new,

better life in an unfamiliar land. Honoring people like the Wrieths who have helped shape the Village

since before incorporation is an important part of celebrating its 100th year of governance.

Local Young Man Achieves The Duke Of Edinburgh’s International Award

The Lindenhurst Village Board recently welcomed North Babylon-resident Ethan Klenofsky at their August 8th Village Board Meeting. He addressed them, and the public in attendance, about the benefits and importance of community service. Mr. Klenofsky wrote and presented his speech as part of the requirements he needed in order to achieve The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. The Award, available for all young people, aged 14-24, regardless of their background, culture, physical ability, skills, and interests, is a program of

activities. Each young person who takes part in the Award learns a skill, improves their physical fitness, volunteers in their community, and experiences a team adventure in a new environment. Success in the Award is measured by regular participation over a fixed period of time while showing commitment and progress in each activity. All participants are supported by a network of adult mentors. In Mr. Klenofksy’s case, one of his mentors was Town of Babylon Councilman Terence McSweeney, who guided him through the

speech writing process, and coached him with tips on public speaking.

Mayor Michael Lavorata said, “What Ethan has attained in receiving The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is beyond any medal or certificate. The professional and personal skills he has built through this program will serve him throughout his lifetime, and are an inspiration to us all to keep growing and achieving.”

Mr. Klenofsky encouraged all young people to apply for the award. More information can be found at www. usaaward.org.

Accessing Schooling Options

(NAPSI)—Parents are more optimistic about their children’s academic, emotional, and social development and they

increasingly support school choice according to EdChoice, which wants all K–12 students to access the schooling options—

public, private, charter, homeschooling or other— best for them. Learn more at www.edchoice.org.

Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space.

(Cheers to that.)

Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways. For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month.

Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.
