Daniel Street Elementary School Welcomes New Principal
The Lindenhurst Union Free School District is proud to name Dr. Jennifer Deuidicibus as Principal of Daniel Street Elementary School. She was previously Assistant Principal at Lindenhurst Middle School.
Dr. Deuidicibus has spent her entire 21-year career in education in Lindenhurst schools. She looks forward to maintaining the important support structure that guides students from kindergarten to middle school. “I am delighted to be welcomed to the Daniel Street Elementary family as the new building principal,” she said. “Serving the Lindenhurst community for the past 21 years in various roles has given me the experience necessary to lead the wonderful students and staff to reach their fullest potential.”
Dr. Deuidicibus began her career as a school psychologist at Lindenhurst
Middle School in 2002. In 2015, she became the District Secondary CSE Chairperson, and in 2017, she became Assistant Principal at Lindenhurst Middle School.
“As I move into this new role, I am confident that
Daniel Street students will continue to embark on new learning opportunities that will prepare them for their secondary years and create meaningful, lasting memories along their journey,” Dr. Deuidicibus said.
Lindenhurst Middle School Welcomes New Principal
The Lindenhurst Union Free School District is proud to name Marcy Miller as the Principal of Lindenhurst Middle School. She replaces Frank Naccarato, who retired. Miller previously served as Principal of Albany Avenue Elementary School.
Miller aims to continue partnerships with Lindenhurst High School and maintain a nurturing environment for students as they navigate the transitional years from elementary school to high school. “Middle school is such an important period because not only are our students physically growing and changing, but they are also actively taking in so much both in and out of school,” Miller said. “What is pivotal as middle school educators is that we meet them where they are, acknowledging that they are still kids in
many ways while providing opportunities for learning that extend, at times, beyond academics.”
Miller began her career in education as a classroom teacher at P.S. 232 in Howard Beach in 1991, but she has spent the majority of her career in the Lindenhurst School District. In
2002, she worked as a secondary reading teacher at Lindenhurst Middle School before becoming an elementary reading specialist and administrative intern at William Rall Elementary School. In 2014, Miller returned to the Middle School to become Interim Dean of Discipline and then Assistant Principal in 2015. In 2016, Miller took the reins of Albany Avenue Elementary School as Principal.
“I’m so excited to lead the Middle School; it’s almost like coming home for me,” she said. “Working in lockstep with our new High School Principal and my amazing team here, I plan to make the Lindenhurst Middle School experience a positive, caring, and supportive one for our students, enabling a seamless transition to high school.”

The Town also

recognized and honored those lost and injured in the tragedy.
McSweeney stood alongside Supervisor Rich Schaffer, Deputy Supervisor & Councilman Tony Martinez, Legislator Tom Donnelly & NYS
Senator Monica Martinez to express gratitude to all who responded to the tragedy at the Hawaiian Nail
Salon and to recognize the collaborative efforts that were mobilized on that dreadful day.
“We extend our appreciation to those who arrived at the scene and to the other departments that left their homes to provide support at various firehouses for extended periods, ensuring that emergency calls were
addressed while personnel managed the unfolding crisis.”
Legislator Donnelly added, “Successfully handling such emergencies requires extensive planning and training, with communication serving as a crucial element in navigating catastrophic situations. Those in leadership roles,
along with those following their guidance, executed a seamless rescue and recovery operation.” This night was dedicated not to any single individual who contributed that day, but rather to the units that collaborated effectively, including the Suffolk County Police Dept. and various fire and rescue departments. This marks only the second
occasion on which the Town of Babylon has awarded unit citations for the exceptional efforts made to save lives and provide solace to those mourning a loss.
Supervisor Schaffer said “We are grateful to Chief Robert Macaluso and the Deer Park Fire Department for facilitating this gathering this evening to honor our local heroes.

Newspapers Have Helped Shape The World
Newspapers have helped shape the world for decades, serving as invaluable resources that highlight both national and local news, retail information, cultural events, and much more. Although several newspapers now offer online versions of their publications, many readers remain partial to print versions. Those who purchase printed newspapers daily or subscribe to home delivery should consider recycling the papers to protect the planet. According to the environmental resource EarthEcho International, recycling a single run of the Sunday issue of The New York Times - or a comparable paper’s Sunday edition - would save 75,000 trees.

The Wonders And Importance Of Bees In Feeding The World
By Deb Colton
Beekeeping helps many communities around the world by providing income, supports agriculture and improves food security.
Honey can be used as a natural preservative due to its antibacterial properties and has been used to preserve fruits and other foods for centuries;
Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible; Bees are essential for growing many of our foods. They pollinate about 1/3 of the food we eat including fruits, vegetables, and nuts; Honey bees are the only insects that produce food eaten by humans. They are unique and their production of honey has been a staple in human diets for thousands of years;
Honey can improve sleep. A spoonful of honey before bed can promote relaxation and better sleep by raising insulin slightly and allowing tryptophan to enter the brain;
Honey has natural healing properties and different medicinal uses in various cultures. It can help soothe sore throats, speed up the healing of wounds and burns due to its antibacterial qualities and is used to treat digestive issues; Honey can help your brain. It contains antioxidants that may support brain health and improve memory; Honey can help with seasonal allergies. Consuming local honey is believed by some to help build immunity to local pollen and reduce allergy symptoms; Bees produce a tiny amount of honey in their lifetime. A single worker bee produces about 1/12
of a teaspoon of honey in their entire life, but together they are a powerful force and need protection; There are over 300 types of honey in the United States. The flavor, color and aroma depend on the flowers that bees visit;
Beeswax is used in many everyday products. It is found in things like candles, lip, balm and even some types of food packaging;
Beyond all of that, here are some fascinating factoids about bees – they are colorblind to red. Bees can see ultraviolet light which humans cannot, but they cannot see the color red. Bees have a built-in GPS that uses the position of the Sun, the Earth’s magnetic field, and their own memories of landmarks to navigate and find their way back to the hive. Bees are known to communicate through dancing. They perform
a “wiggle dance” to tell other bees where to find the best flowers. Bees can even recognize and remember human faces, much like they remember flowers.
Bees are critically important in food production around the world.

The Benefits Of Leisure Activities
cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity
as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the
study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has
the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problemsolving, and map reading, among other
activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.
