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.

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
Pitfalls To Avoid Falling Into Debt
High consumer debt can compromise individuals’ financial futures and have an adverse effect on their overall health. Debt has long been an issue that threatens individuals’ well-being, but the good
news is that certain debts seem to be on the decline.
Individuals who want to avoid debt can keep an eye open for these pitfalls.
• Retail credit cards: Many retailers offer their own credit cards.
Consumers may be enticed to sign up for such cards by the opportunity for instant, and often significant, savings. For example, a home improvement store may offer an immediate
25 percent discount to customers who sign up for a store credit card and use the card to make a purchase. As enticing as such savings can be, consumers should recognize that a recent study by CreditCards.com found that the average retail credit card APR is 25.9 percent. That’s more than 6 percent higher than a general purpose credit card. Consumers who cannot pay balances in full each month could end up paying much more in interest if they use retail credit cards instead of general purpose cards.
• Too many accounts: A recent study from the credit reporting agency Experian found that the average American has four credit cards. Though many consumers can
effectively manage that many cards, the more cards an individual has, the easier it can be to lose track of spending. More cards also means a greater potential for more debt, as each card has its own limit that is unrelated to the limits on other cards.
• Bonus hunting: Another pitfall to avoid is the temptation to use credit cards instead of cash in an effort to accumulate more travel miles or cash back bonuses. Consumers should aspire to use cash over credit whenever possible. Doing so ensures consumers are not spending money they don’t have, which is one of the most common ways that individuals build significant consumer debt.
• Failure to budget: A
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.
budget is the most effective way for individuals to gain control of their spending. That lesson seems to resonate more with young people than older men and women. A recent poll from Debt.com found that 74 percent of consumers between the ages of 23 and 38 use a budget to govern their spending, while only 67 percent of consumers between the ages of 39 and 54 use a budget. A failure to budget can increase the risk of spending impulsively and make it hard for consumers to see what’s coming in and what’s going out. That’s a recipe for accumulating debt.
Avoiding certain pitfalls can help consumers avoid accumulating debt that can adversely affect their financial futures.

Girl Scouts Install A Little Food Pantry At Lindenhurst Rainbow Senior Center
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.”
Mercy Soup Kitchen Seeking Volunteers
It is an exciting time at the Mercy Soup Kitchen of Wyandanch as it is preparing to launch its new and expanded post Covid operation.
Located in the basement of Trinity Lutheran Church at 17 South 20th Street, the Kitchen served its first meal to hungry people in 1980 and currently serves an average of 108 people per day.
During the pandemic, however, Kitchen procedures had to be modified in order to provide hot, nourishing meals safely and continuously to those in need. Indoor sitdown dining was discontinued and only take-out dining was available.
But today the Kitchen is posing for a post-Covid reopening – a reorganizational rebirth of sorts – where Kitchen procedures can finally return to again offering guests dignified, indoor sitdown dining.
The Kitchen relies heavily on its generous volunteer support and, as such, numerous on-site and off-site volunteer opportunities are now available.
While there are openings for on-site positions, such as helping to prepare and serve meals and to perform various maintenance functions, there are also openings for diverse off-site positions in
areas such as finance, grant development and preparation, legal compliance assurance, marketing duties, social media facilitation and fund raising/ donation coordination.
Only with the efforts of its volunteers can the Kitchen succeed in its mission to provide food security to those in need. Please consider sharing some of your time and talents with the Kitchen to make this happen. We invite you to join our team.
For further information, contact Vito Colletti at 631358-9917 or vcolletti@ optonline.net
