May 24, 2023 Massapequa Park

FIREFIGHTERS HONORED FOR 50 YEARS OF SERVICE - Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Tom Hand, Assemblyman Michael Durso, and Massapequa Park Mayor Daniel Pearl recently attended the Massapequa Fire Department’s 125th Annual Installation Dinner. The officials welcomed new officers, including Chief William Monjardo, Asst. Chief Jeffrey Friedland, Asst. Chief Ryan Zimmerman, and Asst. Chief Conor McCaffrey. They also honored Michael Hanna, John Musarra, Thomas Valery, Robert Mason, and Michael Coogan for 50 years of extraordinary service to the department. Supervisor Saladino thanked these heroes for putting the lives of others above their own and recognized their outstanding service and dedication to the community.

Town To Complete Final Field Upgrade At Field Of Dreams

After having fully replaced two athletic fields at Field of Dreams in Massapequa in 2022, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Steve Labriola announce plans to upgrade the final field at this venue with synthetic turf later this year. Replacement of the worn-out turf will improve the playing surface for lacrosse and flag football athletes and also improve overall safety for athletes.

“These upgrades are helping to protect local athletes and children who use these fields,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Synthetic fields improve the look of our community, help alleviate the high costs associated with maintaining grass fields, and increase play time for athletes as weather has limited impact on the fields.”

Councilman Labriola added, “We are replacing worn-out athletic fields with new turf while improving safety for players and getting the best value on materials for our taxpayers. These field upgrades also bring a level of beautification to our community and help keep the Town of Oyster Bay a beautiful place to live, work and play.”

Synthetic turf fields have an approximate useful life of 8-10 years, depending on use, and are less expensive

than the long-term cost of maintaining natural grass and a dirt surface. Synthetic fields also provide the potential for fewer cancellations of games due to inclement weather, as the field is able to absorb rain storms in a manner that is not possible on a dirt infield.

Her Songs Broke Every Record, Her Story Broke Every Barrier

She was a girl from Boston with a voice from heaven, who shot through the stars from gospel choir to dance floor diva. What the world didn’t know was how Donna Summer risked it all to break through barriers, becoming the icon of an era and the inspiration for every music diva who followed. With a score featuring more than 20 of Summer’s classic hits including “Love to Love You Baby,” “Bad Girls” and “Hot Stuff,” this electric experience is a moving tribute to the voice of a generation.
