The Detective Jonathan Diller Scholarship Fund Announced For
St. Mary’s High School Students
Inaugural Kick-Off Fundraiser Event To Be Held At Mulcahy’s Pub & Concert Hall
On
Wednesday, November 20th At 6:30 P.M.
Elected officials, community leaders, family members, friends and colleagues of the late NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller all gathered today at Mulcahy’s Pub & Concert Hall to announce the establishment of the Detective Jonathan Diller Scholarship Fund in his memory. This fund will help students pursue their education at St. Mary’s Highs School in Manhasset, NY. NYPD Detective Diller lost his life in the line of duty earlier this year on March 25, when he was murdered during a traffic stop in Far Rockaway, Queens.
The charity will hold its kick-off fundraiser event at Mulcahy’s Pub & Concert Hall in Wantagh (3232 Railroad Ave., Wantagh, NY) on Wednesday, November 20th, 2024, from 6:30 p.m. through 10:30 p.m. The event will feature a tribute to Detective Diller, food, drinks, raffle prizes, and entertainment.
The proceeds raised from the event will directly fund annual tuition scholarships for students at St. Mary’s High School. The fund was organized and established by Larry Weinberger, President of MGD Investments who gathered supporters and sponsors.
“Detective Diller’s dedication to police work, and his love of being a police officer, was apparent to all who knew him,” Weinberger said. “This fund will create a never-ending legacy for Detective Diller as every year the high school Jonathan attended, St. Mary’s, will select a student(s) in need of support pursuing their education and career goals.”
Jonathan Diller’s wife Stephanie was there to support the effort and spoke about what St. Mary’s meant to him and her hopes for this scholarship to give students the opportunity to follow in her husband’s footsteps.
“Jonathan always talked so fondly about his time there and he always was involved in sports and was very active and that’s what made him into the person he was,” said Stephanie. “I want the scholarship to go to someone who is just like Jonathan and to have that experience and to continue for people to become like him… We need more of Jonathan in the world.”
St. Mary’s High School has established a featured webpage for the scholarship which outlines the details and allows for donations. This page is accessible by visiting https://tinyurl.com/ DillerScholarshipFund
“St. Mary’s High School is pleased to announce that the memory and legacy of Detective Jonathan Diller, Class of 2010, will be honored by establishing a scholarship fund in his name,” said Eileen Symmons, Communications Director for St. Mary’s Parish and Schools. “Jonathan was our brother in Christ who led by example in the classrooms and on the lacrosse field.
Detective Diller’s exemplary service as a police officer— and dedication to his family and the community— will be remembered through this scholarship as a lasting tribute. It will support deserving students in pursuing academic achievement, athleticism, teamwork, Catholic faith, and service.”
Principal Gerard J. Buckley and faculty member and Varsity Boys Lacrosse Head Coach Matthew Panetta attended and spoke at the announcement on behalf of St. Mary’s High School, where Jonathan was a popular student and lacrosse player from 2007 to 2010.
“We are grateful to Mr. Larry Weinberger of MGD Investments and his team for spearheading the fundraiser
at Mulcahy’s on November 20, 2024, which will officially launch the Detective Jonathan Diller Scholarship Fund,” Buckley said. “We are immensely blessed and express our humble gratitude to Mrs. Stephanie Diller, who has generously directed all proceeds from the event to be donated to St. Mary’s High School in her husband’s name.”
The fund is already gaining strong community support from across the region from New York City to Suffolk County as representatives from the New York Police Department (NYPD), Nassau County Police Department (NCPD), and Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD) were on hand.
Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino attended the press conference announcement to show his support.
“Establishing a high school scholarship in memory of fallen NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller honors his dedication to public service and commitment to his community,” stated Saladino.
“This scholarship will support students who demonstrate leadership, resilience, and a passion for helping others—reflecting the values Detective Diller upheld throughout his life. Through this initiative, his legacy will continue to inspire future generations to pursue their dreams and make a positive impact in their communities.”
Additional sponsors and supporters include the Mulcahy’s Pub & Concert Hall, MGD Investments, Dream Studios and the EGC Group. The fund is accepting donations from businesses and the community of a service or an item for the raffle for the kick-off fundraiser.
Admission to the fundraiser event is $ 65.

Bethpage Turkey Drive – The Largest Food Drive On Long Island To Take Place On Friday, November 22
Long Island Businesses And Families Encouraged To Donate Frozen Turkeys And Non-Perishable Food Items As Food Insecurity Increases By More Than 58% On Long Island
The Bethpage Turkey Drive to benefit the Island Harvest Food Bank will take place on Friday, November 22, 2024, from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM at Bethpage’s headquarters located at 899 South Oyster Bay Road in Bethpage. This year marks the 16th anniversary of Long Island’s largest oneday food drive which to date, has donated more than 49,000 turkeys and over 236,000 pounds of food to Island Harvest which helps supply Thanksgiving holiday meals to families in our community.
Long Islanders are asked to donate frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items or cash donations. Bethpage’s Drive Through Donation Lanes will allow residents to remain in their cars while volunteers remove
donations from the vehicles. The donations will go directly to Island Harvest Food Bank, which will help supply Thanksgiving meals to the more than 300,000 food-insecure Long Islanders through its distribution network of over 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, and other feeding programs on Long Island. Non-perishable food items needed include canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice, boxed juices, and shelfstable milk (please, no glass containers).
“Last year’s drive collected a record-breaking 4,425 turkeys, a number that has not be reached since the Bethpage Turkey Drive started in 2008,” said Linda Armyn, President and CEO, Bethpage Federal Credit Union. “We are so thankful for our network of
community support, both businesses and individuals, who continue to donate each year to help families enjoy a warm Thanksgiving meal. Bethpage is committed to doing everything we can to improve the lives of our friends and neighbors on Long Island. This event is special for us each year and more important than ever as the number of food insecure continues to grow.”
According to Feeding America’s 2022 Map the Meal Gap report for Long Island, there are approximately 221,190 people on Long Island who are food insecure, an increase of 58.3% from the 2021 estimate of 139,760 people. In 2022, the estimated number of children living with food insecurity is 44,780, a 63.4% increase from the estimated
Woman Of Distinction
27,580 children living with food insecurity in 2021. For its fiscal year, Island Harvest Food Bank expects to distribute a record 20 million pounds of food to people who are food insecure in Nassau and Suffolk counties, far eclipsing the volume of food it provided during the pandemic.
“Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s enduring partnership has helped make a positive difference in the lives of Long Islanders facing food insecurity,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, President & CEO of Island Harvest Food Bank. “Their support and generosity, along with that of their members and Long Island’s business community, have enabled us to provide holiday-style meals – and hope for our neighbors in need for 16 years.”
Bethpage is once again issuing a Corporate Challenge encouraging local businesses and organizations to donate the largest number of frozen turkeys and non-perishables and then drop off their donations on November 22. To join the challenge, Long Island businesses and organizations can sign up
at https://www.bethpagefcu. com/bethpage-turkey-drivecorporate-challenge/.In its inaugural year in 2023, H2M Architects & Engineers won the challenge by donating 702 turkeys. Bethpage awarded them with an ice cream truck sent to their office for all employees to enjoy.
For those unable to make a donation on November 22, or would rather show their support online, Bethpage is accepting online monetary donations. Every gift of $35 will help support a holiday meal for your Long Island neighbors. Donations can also be made at any Bethpage branch.
Patches will be given to all Girl Scouts who make a donation. Troop leaders can make a donation on behalf of troop members and bring back patches for the entire troop.
Since the first Bethpage Turkey Drive was organized in 2008, hundreds of community volunteers have come out to assist in the collection of more than 49,000 turkeys and over 236,000 pounds of food, which were then given to Long Island families facing hardship in time for
the holidays. About 6,000 individuals receive food assistance from the Island Harvest Food Bank network each week.
Island Harvest Food Bank Island Harvest Food Bank is a leading human services organization whose mission is to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island. We accomplish this through innovative programs and services aimed at enhanced hunger awareness, shortterm case management, nutrition education, outreach and advocacy initiatives, a Workforce Skills Development Institute, our organic farm, and efficient food collection and distribution. Our work directly supports children, families, seniors, and veterans who turn to us in times of crisis and when needed and supports a network of 300 community-based nonprofit organizations. Island Harvest Food Bank is a member of Feeding America®, a nationwide network of food banks leading the effort to solve hunger in the U.S. To learn more, visit www. islandharvest.org.
Volunteers gather at last year’s Bethpage Turkey Drive that collected 4,425 turkeys and non-perishable food to help provide a Thanksgiving meal to those in need.

Massapequa Challenger Baseball Commissioner Al Freise Retires
By Debra J. O’Fee
On Columbus Day weekend, Massapequa Challenger Baseball Commissioner Al Freise thanked the young volunteers who dedicate their time each season with these words: “These games happen because of you. They run only with the help you provide to our athletes! I want to thank you for your dedication and the time you give every Sunday.”
In an email to Challenger families on October 23rd, Al announced his retirement from the league and shared a heartfelt recap of his journey with Massapequa Challenger. Back in
1991, when he founded Massapequa Challenger, he was serving as President of the Massapequa Coast Little League. Although he eventually stepped down as President, he stayed on with Challenger to help establish the program, which turned into a 34-year commitment. Al reflected on the contrast between
his roles: as League President, his phone would ring at all hours with concerns, while as the Challenger Commissioner, the calls he received were often expressions of gratitude. He expressed his appreciation to the families for entrusting him and shared the joy he found in watching athletes
grow and succeed over the years. He also announced his chosen successor, Jason Wass.
On Sunday, October 27th, Al Freise took to the Challenger fields for his final day as Commissioner. His recent words to the volunteers lingered in our minds: “These games only happened because of you.”
But, Al, they also happened because of you—because you recognized the need for these special children to have something of their own. Your commitment to bringing baseball, America’s favorite pastime, to children with special needs in Massapequa and beyond will always be remembered.
TRUNK or TREAT
Massapequa Chamber of Commerce recently held its first TRUNK or TREAT event at the McKenna Elementary Senior Center parking lot bringing a few hundreds of Massapequa kids dressed up for Halloween. Children of all ages dressed in various costumes to collect candy from each decorated car trunk. Chamber members brought their cars to the event to put their trunk on display and more than 300 children signed up and came in costume. Massapequa Chamber President Robin Hepworth said "We wanted to do something safe in the community for our Massapequa families so they can trick or treat with their children. We had a huge turnout and I was absolutely thrilled and we look forward to continuing this new tradition!"

“During the school year, when schools are open, students that qualify receive a free breakfast and lunch. However, when the district is closed for holidays and school breaks, food insecurity for those students intensifies,” explained Councilman Hand. “The Women’s Club of Farmingdale created a program to help ‘shut down hunger’ by providing
non-perishable food items and/or gift cards to local food stores to ensure all local children have access to the healthy food they need every day to thrive until schools open again.”
Specific foods requested include:
• Boxed milk
• Breakfast bars
• Instant mashed potatoes
• Snacks including small bags of chips, fruit rollups, goldfish)
• Rice
• Cans of beans, veggies, fruit
• Cereal
• Pop tarts
• Soup cans or ramen

The Differences Between Weather Warnings And Watches
Weather is hard to predict. Meteorologists have many tools at their disposal to help forecast storms and other phenomena, but it is impossible to predict the weather with 100 percent accuracy.
When the weather takes a turn for the worse, the National Weather Service may issue certain notices to prepare the public. Understanding the level of threat a notice carries can help people take appropriate action and avoid serious consequences. The NWS uses a four-tier system to alert the public of hazards. Here’s a closer look at what each tier constitutes.
Outlook
This is the least serious weather alert. It usually means that hazardous weather may approach in the next three to seven days. The public should monitor the situation and stay tuned for further updates.
Advisory
With an advisory, weather conditions are not overly serious but could prove inconvenient. Individuals should be cautious and prudent when preparing supplies or traveling.
Watch
During a weather watch, there is an increased risk of a hazardous weather occurrence, though the timing or location is still uncertain. This is when it is essential to practice an evacuation or preparedness plan and stock up on any last-minute supplies.
Warning
The most serious of the weather impact notifications, a warning constitutes an imminent or likely event. The weather may cause a threat to property or life. Immediate action to stay safe is necessary. While these alerts are based on the severity of impending weather, it is important to note that the NWS will not necessarily follow the same timeline with issuing alerts. That depends on how fast a weather situation develops. If there is time, an advisory, then a watch and then a warning may be issued. However, if a storm moves in rapidly, only a warning may be issued. People always should pay attention to weather notices so they can be prepared should severe weather be in the forecast.
Historical Events From November 1924
The month of November has been home to many historical events over the years. Here’s a look at some that helped to shape the world in November 1924.
• The Meteorological Flight Service is introduced by the British Royal Air Force on November 1. The service is implemented to identify temperature, pressure, humidity, and general weather conditions.
• Éamon de Valera, future President and Taoiseach of Ireland, is sentenced to a month in prison on November 1 for illegally entering Ulster, Northern Ireland.
• A freight train hits a street car after midnight in Chicago on November 2. Witnesses reported the freight train had no lights on as it reached the railroad crossing at the intersection of North Avenue and Kingsbury Street. Ten passengers on the street car are killed and 31 others are injured.
• On November 3, presidential hopefuls Calvin Coolidge, who is seeking to be elected after succeeding to the presidency upon the sudden death of President Warren G. Harding in 1923, and John W. Davis make their final appeals to voters via radio addresses. Coolidge is elected the following day.
• A mutiny occurs on the Brazilian battleship Sao Paulo on November 4. Eight Brazilian Navy officers and 260 sailors are involved in the failed rebellion.
• Despite having no experience in finance, Winston Churchill is appointed British
Chancellor of the Exchequer on November 6.
• Korean nationalist Syngman Rhee announces plans to gain independence for Korea from the Japanese Empire on November 8. Rhee makes the announcement in Honolulu, Hawaii.
• In a political misstep, 185 opposition members fail to show up for a new session of the Italian Parliament on November 12. The move is a protest against the Fascist Party, which uses the members’ absence to enact Prime Minister Benito Mussolini’s restrictive program.
