In a concerted effort to safeguard senior citizens from increasingly prevalent scams, Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly and Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino are partnering to host a series of educational seminars this spring. The initiative aims to equip seniors and their caregivers with the knowledge and tools necessary to recognize, report, and combat fraudulent schemes.
Senior citizens, often targeted due to their limited familiarity with modern technology and scam tactics, face heightened risks of manipulation. Factors such as loneliness and medicationrelated vulnerabilities can exacerbate their susceptibility. Recognizing these challenges, District Attorney Donnelly and Supervisor Saladino are committed to providing
essential information and resources to help protect the senior community.
The seminars will cover a range of topics including:
• Common scam tactics and how to identify them
• Steps to take if you suspect a scam
• Practical strategies for safeguarding personal information
• Resources for reporting fraudulent activities
These informative sessions will be held at local
community centers in the Town of Oyster Bay, ensuring easy access for residents. The spring schedule includes:
• Thursday, March 13th at 1:30pm at the Hicksville Community Center, 28 W. Carl Street, Hicksville, NY 11801
• Monday, March 31st at 1:30pm at Marjorie Post Park Community Center, 451 Unqua Road, Massapequa, NY 11758
“Protecting our seniors is a top priority,” said Supervisor
Saladino. “By working with District Attorney Donnelly, we are taking proactive steps to ensure that our elderly community members are informed and empowered against deceitful tactics.”
District Attorney Donnelly stated, “My office is dedicated to combating fraud using all the tools at our disposal, and community engagement is vital to keeping Nassau County safe. Through these educational seminars, seniors will learn how to spot the warning signs of a scam and, most importantly, protect themselves and their finances. Working together with leaders like Supervisor Saladino, we can fight back against senior scams across our county and blunt their impact on our most vulnerable residents.”
Residents are encouraged to attend these seminars to gain valuable insights and share the information with family and friends.
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Town Clerk Richard LaMarca announced that Trainville Hobby Depot will host a Model Train Show on Saturday, March 8th and Sunday, March 9th from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Hicksville Community Center, located at 28 West Carl Street in Hicksville. The Model Train Show includes operating model layouts coordinated by Trainville Hobby Depot. Charitable donations are being accepted at the exhibit to support the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum.
Area train club are invited to display
“We are pleased to partner with Trainville Hobby Depot, who coordinates or participates in many hobby shows that benefit the fundraising efforts of a sponsoring organization,” said Town Clerk LaMarca. “Assisting groups that not only bring a fun and educational experience to residents of all ages, but also help preserve our history in understanding the railroad’s role in our heritage, is a great cause.”
operating model layouts, including N, O, HO, On30, and G scales. Admission into the exhibit is $7.00, children ages 4-11 years are $4.00 and entry for children under the age of 4 is free. For further information, please visit www.trainville.com or call (516) 433-4444.
A brighter future is in store for students at Fairfield Elementary School in the Massapequa School District following their participation in P.S. I Love You Day on Feb. 14.
This year’s theme was “A Brighter Tomorrow Begins
Today.” The Long Islandbased nonprofit organization P.S. I Love You Day sponsors the initiative that is dedicated to eradicating the stigma around mental health. The goal is to create communities where everyone feels welcomed,
loved and supported. One of the highlights this year at Fairfield was mindfulness yoga. Each grade participated in a session led by Shana Conza of Yogi Beans. She guided students through several breathing and stretches
exercises, and taught them the power they have over their own bodies.
Every student also made a paper lantern bag with a positive and inspirational message. In the afternoon, battery-operated lights were placed in the bags, which then lined the halls. With the hallway lights dimmed and the bags illuminated, students went on a lantern walk to read all of the messages.
Classroom activities throughout the day promoted mental health and kindness. In Mary Lynn McCauley’s kindergarten class, students made emoji hearts to remind to not only tell others that they are loved, but why they are loved. Down the hall, kindergartners helped their teacher Jeanne Jones make lavender cloud dough with cornstarch, hair conditioner, food coloring, purple glitter and a lavender oil. When completed, the students used it as a sensory calming
tool, and each took a turn holding it while saying a positive affirmation.
P.S. I Love You Day at Fairfield was organized by a committee of administrators, teachers and staff, and supported by the PTA which helped decorate the school. The mission was to instill hope, foster community and help students see the small steps they can take each day to
help make their lives and the lives of those around them better. This year’s theme was a reminder for youngsters to look after their own mental health while checking in on those around them.
“We want our students to help create a future where everyone has the care and connection they need to shine and thrive,” Assistant Principal Megan Pavlick said.

Pecans can make any recipe better. Whether they add a nutritious crunch to oatmeal, star as the lead ingredient in pecan pie or give cookies that little something extra, pecans elevate the foods they touch. In this recipe “Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes” from “Simply Scratch” (Avery) by Laurie McNamara, honey-covered pecans are the crowning touch on sweet potatoes, helping to make this side dish one to remember at any special meal.
4 servings
2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2 teaspoons chili powder
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a pinch
2 tablespoons honey
3⁄4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
2. Massage the olive oil onto the sweet potatoes and set them on a small baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour or until a knife glides through effortlessly. Let cool until safe to handle. Keep the oven on.
3. Halve the sweet potatoes horizontally and carefully scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl. Set the skins aside. Add the butter, maple syrup, chili powder, cinnamon, and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt and use a potato masher to mash the filling until smooth.
4. In a small bowl, combine the honey, pecans, and a pinch of salt.
5. Place the skins side by side in a small baking dish. Spoon the filling in, dividing it evenly, and top with the honeyed pecans. Bake for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
The books kept coming in as students showed their giving spirit at Birch Lane Elementary School in the Massapequa School District for the annual Book Fairies collection. More than 1,500 new and gently used books were donated during the
two-week drive that ended on Feb. 10.
All of the books will be donated to the Long Island-based nonprofit organization that provides reading materials to underresourced communities. The Book Fairies collection
has been an annual winter tradition at Birch Lane for several years. It is organized by student government, under the direction of advisors Meghan Reedy and Allison Rifkin.
Students were asked to look through their book
shelves at home and donate any children’s books they no longer read. Additionally, several families purchased new items at the recent Scholastic book fair to donate to the drive.
“It makes me feel really good because I want kids
to read,” fifth grade Emma Leek said about the success of the book drive. She added that when kids have more books, they become better readers and spellers.
Student government members made fliers to hang around the school and
also promote the book drive through word of mouth. As books were donated, the student leaders sorted them by category and then boxed them up. The drive helped fulfill the group’s community service mission.
Sixth graders got some advice from the experts on how to master the intricacies of middle school and high school during presentations by Massapequa’s Student Advisory Council on Feb. 5 and 6.
The group consists of student government and class officers from Massapequa High School’s Ames and main campuses. They spent several weeks preparing presentations on a variety of topics for their younger peers at Berner Middle School. Students visited the library during MS-101, a sixth grade course that focuses on organizational and technology skills, social and emotional learning and other topics to set them up for success at the secondary level.
Ninth graders from Ames focused their presentation on bullying. They discussed how to appropriately respond if they are being bullied or see bullying taking place in their school or online. Sophomore class
officers presented on peer pressure while juniors gave useful tips on time management. Getting involved in middle school and high school was the topic for seniors, who encouraged sixth graders to take advantage of the wide range of athletics, extracurricular activities and community service opportunities offered in Massapequa schools.
After each presentation, sixth graders had a change to ask questions and draw on the knowledge of their older peers. The high school students used their experiences to pass down practical and useful information.
Class of 2025 Activities Coordinator Kaia Mueller explained that their presentation highlighted many of the spirit events at the high school, while class Treasurer Will Stebner noted the widerange of club offerings for students of all different interests.
“There’s always something they can do to get involved, meet new people and build up your
resumé for college,” he said.
Luke Ciaravino, historian of the general organization, added, “If you don’t get involved in school, you’re really limiting yourself.”
Ninth grader Charlotte Pachucki said their message was to remind students that they are not alone and there are always people to turn to for help. The purpose of their presentation was to both stop bullying while also giving students resources for support if they are bullied.
Principal Jason Esposito said that he was grateful for the high school students to come to the middle school and share their knowledge. He added that for the sixth grader, they got to hear a consistent message from the people they can most relate to.
“It’s wonderful for our students to get to learn from their older peers who set the right example,” he said.
Even though it was the first day back from winter break, there were many reasons to smile – 100, actually – at McKenna Elementary School in the Massapequa School District on Feb. 24. The excitement was high as students and staff celebrated the 100th day of the school year.
Each kindergarten class hosted a different station, and students from the four classes rotated through. In one room, they did 100
exercises in sets of 10, such as arm circles, jumping jacks and hops on their left and right feet. Down the hall, youngsters stacked 100 plastic cups. They also did 100-day drawings and counted with 100 cubes.
First graders did some writing projects on their favorite parts of the school year so far and what they think life will be like at 100 years old. In second grade, students worked on digital writing projects
envisioning themselves as centenarians. Using BookCreator, students included pictures of themselves and added wigs, glasses and other items to appear 93 years older.
Throughout the school, students dressed the part. Some wore special 100-day shirts while others dressed up as if 100 years old. Many children donned crowns declaring themselves “100 days brighter.”
New York State Assemblyman Michael Durso (R-Massapequa Park), in coordination with Long Island Cares, is inviting the community to participate in his annual Pet Food Drive to help families keep their pets out of shelters and remain at home where they belong.
