A flashlight is an invaluable part of any disaster preparedness kit, and it’s a handy tool to have on hand in a car, at home or when traveling. You never know when you might need a flashlight, and it’s helpful to have many on hand. When stocking up on flashlights for emergency kits, choose ones with lightemitting diode, or LED, technology. According to Popular Mechanics, LED flashlights are 70 percent more efficient than incandescent models. That means the batteries powering the light have the potential to last 10 times longer.

Furthermore, LEDs do not have any fragile parts like incandescent bulbs. That makes them more likely to withstand shock or even endure being dropped.

Bethel Hobbs Community Farm

NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JUNE 2, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

www.hobbsfarm.info

Bethel Hobbs Community Farm is a nonprofit organization with a rich history. You may know and love their farm, or you may never believe there is an 11-acre farm in Centereach that has been feeding Long Islanders for decades!

The James Hobbs family came to Long Island from Georgia in 1906 and grew farm produce in New Village (North Centereach) for local Long Islanders for 3 generations, first as farm workers and later purchasing the land, which became known as Hobbs Farm. James’ son, Alfred Hobbs took ownership in 1955 and farmed his own property, as well as rental farmland in the surrounding area for many years. He passed up many opportunities to sell the property, hoping that it would always remain a farm.

Thankfully, it does remain a farm to this day.

Hobbs Farm is the last farm in Centereach, as well as the last AfricanAmerican family farm on Long Island. When Mr. Hobbs passed away in 1996, he left the farm property to the Bethel AME Church in Setauket, where he was a member. The farm was renamed Bethel Hobbs Community Farm. However, the church struggled with local community organizations that were threatening to buyout the land for other means. In 2007, “Friends of Hobbs Farm” was formed, which led to the restoration process of the farm.

Today, the church still owns the farm, a non-profit organization that is entirely operated by volunteers. The farm is 11 acres and it grows and harvests an average of over 30,000 pounds of fresh, organic produce, which then gets donated to several local food pantries and soup kitchens on the island. They also offer CSA Memberships, which allows locals to receive a weekly share of nutritionally dense produce grown on their farm right in Centereach. The produced is packed the same day as they go out for delivery, and recipiants can rest knowing exactly where they were grown.

Additionally, the farm offers educational programs, community events and they have a seasonal farm stand.

With a strong faith-based history and being that it is still owned by a local church, you will notice a strong Christian presence as soon as you walk onto their land.

Faith based signs, a large wooden cross and a welcoming peaceful environment truly

makes this farm special.

Bethel Hobbs Community Farm has 6 distinct areas: The Memorial Garden: The Memorial Garden is at the front tip of their property. It is a quiet, shaded area with flowers, beautiful greenery and a peaceful waterfall to remember people who have passed on.

The Education Garden: The Education Garden area grows many heirloom varieties, has a small compost area and hosts educational events for small groups.

The Greenhouse: The Greenhouse allows this farm to extend their season during the colder months.

The Community Garden: The Community Garden hosts Brookhaven Community garden plots.

The Garden of Ephraim: The Garden of Ephraim is a wheelchair accessible garden, which consists of a beautiful paved area with raised beds! There is also street access directly into The Garden of Ephraim.

Food Pantry Donation Area: This area of the farm consists of several acres of farm land and is the main growing area.

The selfless efforts of all the volunteers that work hard to keep this farm afloat is truly a blessing. They don’t get paid a dime, but they love what they do. To me, this farm shines bright as a symbol of hope and resilience. However, it needs some more help itself. If you are looking for ways to volunteer or donate, visit their website for more information or read next week’s article on ways for how to get involved!

Bethpage Teacher Goes Above And BEE-yond

Cynthia Cavallo, a third grade teacher at Kramer Lane Elementary School in the Bethpage School District, was recently selected as the Nassau County winner in the fifth annual Above and “BEE”yond Teacher Essay Contest. Ms. Cavallo was nominated by her student Angelina Kucica, who wrote an essay outlining the ways she feels supported and motivated by 1 her teacher.

“Ms. Cavallo is a great teacher and always helps us learn new things,” Angelina said.

“She’s really nice and understanding.”

Ms. Cavallo reflected on the challenging year and how rewarding it is to be recognized.

“I am incredibly honored and

so very humbled to have won this prestigious award,” she said. “In a school year when every day is a new challenge, the thought of even being 1 nominated is an honor. I am forever grateful for teaching in the most amazing school district with the best students and families.”

The Above and “BEE”yond contest is being offered at Applebee’s restaurants in Long Island that are owned and operated by local franchisee Doherty Enterprises.

The contest recognizes the top teachers from Nassau and Suffolk counties and rewards them with a $500 sponsorship check and an end-of-year class party.

National Fire Protection Association Says Use Caution When Using Grills

BETHPAGE CELEBRATES LONG ISLAND’S MARITIME CULTURE Elementary schools in the Bethpage School District celebrated Long Island’s maritime culture during the district’s annual Maritime Festival. For two decades, high school forensics teacher Larry Portuese has organized the interactive and educational event.

Seniors in Mr. Portuese’s class are trained to guide the elementary school students through a variety of activities, such interacting with sea creatures, demonstrations of fishing skills and lessons about the local marine life. A special thanks goes to Bob Stoh, Steve Carroll, Jim Miller, Janice Yale, M. Flower and Sons of Oyster Bay and L & L Bait in Bay Shore for their work in facilitating this annual event. Photo courtesy of the Bethpage Union Free School District

According to the National Fire Protection Association, roughly half of the injuries involving grills are thermal burns.

Of the approximately 16,600 patients who visit emergency rooms for injuries involving grills each year, 8,200 are treated for thermal burns. UPMC HealthBeat notes that thermal burns typically occur when a person touches flames or fire or hot molten liquid or steam. Thermal burns also can result when touching a hot object, such as cooking pans, irons or heated

appliances. WebMD advises burn sufferers to call 911 immediately if the burn penetrates all layers of the skin; if the skin appears leathery or charred, with white, brown or black patches; or if the hands, feet, face, or genitals are burned. In addition, call 911 immediately if infants or seniors suffer any burns, even if the burn does not appear severe.

Treatment will depend on the severity and location of the burn. In the immediate aftermath of a thermal burn, Stanford Children’s Health advises cooling the

affected area with cold water or a cold compress until the pain is reduced or alleviated. Avoid breaking any blisters that form, and protect the burn with a dry, sterile gauze bandage or with a clean bed sheet or cloth. Do not attempt to remove clothing that is stuck to the burned area. In such instances, cut around the clothing and leave the burn intact.

Resist any temptation to apply ointments, oils or sprays to the burned area, as these should only be applied when prescribed by a doctor.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board announce the return of drive-in movies this summer at various Town facilities in July and August. The ‘Movies by Moonlight’ series is once again limited to residents only on a first-come, firstserved basis.

“Residents and families looking for a fun night need look no further than their backyards this summer at the Town is ready with a summer to remember,” said Supervisor Saladino.

“We’re thrilled to once again enjoy family-friendly films from the comfort of your own vehicles at our local parks and beaches.

Join us as these pop-up movie nights and sit back, relax and enjoy the show.”

Movies will play on the following Wednesday evenings beginning at dusk: July 7th – Ellsworth Allen Park in Farmingdale, Raiders of the Lost Ark July 14th – Tappen Beach in Glenwood Landing, Dolittle July 21st – Ellsworth

Allen Park, Tom & Jerry July 28th – Theodore Roosevelt Beach in Oyster Bay, The Goonies August 4th – Ellsworth Allen Park, Raya & The Last Dragon Vehicles will be admitted to the parking lot on a firstcome, first-served basis beginning at 6pm the day of the event. Movies begin at dusk. Movies are subject to change and will be held weather permitting. For more information, please call (516) 797-7925.

Tips for Enjoying a Drive-In Movie Experience

for MINI USA. To shed light on this rediscovered institution of cinema, MINI USA created a guide for drivers to help them make the most of the experience. Here are five of their top tips: 1. Arrive early. Many theaters allow guests to arrive up to an hour before the show begins.

Take advantage of this time to pick the best parking spot and stretch your legs. If the snack bar is open, grab a treat!

2. Bring the right car. A MINI Convertible is ideal for an open air viewing experience under the stars, while the MINI Countryman has room for the whole family.

3. Bring snacks. If your drive-in allows it, bring your favorite movie-viewing snacks like popcorn, soft pretzels, candy and soda.

4. Safely enjoy with friends. You can still safely go to the movies with your friends while staying socially distanced.

Meet at a nearby location to rally to the drive-in in separate cars. If you’re a MINI owner, check with

your local MINI owner’s club about a drive-in movie rally. You can even bring two-way radios or set up a group chat on your phone for live commentary of the movie.

5. Pack strategically.

Be sure to pack a blanket in case there’s an evening chill in the air.

A small pillow can also help support your back through the movie. Bring a small trash bag, too for all of your wrappers, empty cups and popcorn buckets. And lastly, if your car doesn’t already have one, bring a phone charger.

No drive-in theater near you? No problem.

Try hosting your own. For more drive-in tips and fun facts, visit miniusa.com/ drivein.

It’s no secret that over the past several months, almost everything we took for granted in our lives has changed dramatically, even nights at the movies.

By taking a cue from the past, you can still enjoy the silver screen with extended family and friends.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino announced that the Town of Oyster Bay is seeking to honor veterans as part of the annual Veterans Awards Ceremony, and nominations are currently being sought.

The ceremony will take place as part of the Town’s “Salute to Veterans” event featuring Lee Greenwood, which is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 at 7:30 pm at TOBAY Beach.

Residents are invited to nominate extraordinary individuals who have made a difference in our veteran communities.

“In these uncertain times, I wanted to make sure we found an especially meaningful way to recognize those who bravely and selflessly served our nation. This holds special significance this year, as most Memorial Day activities are cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” said Supervisor Saladino. “The Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to nominate extraordinary individuals who have made a difference in our veteran communities. An important part of the celebration includes the Town’s Veteran Volunteer Awards, which honors our veterans and those who advocate on their behalf.”

“The ‘Salute to Veterans’ concert provides the ideal backdrop to recognize and honor our veterans and

individuals who continue to actively serve in the community and advocate for issues and concerns relative to veterans.

The Town is proud to recognize and honor amazing individuals who have helped to shape our communities for the better through their continuing advocacy and exemplary community service each year,” Supervisor Saladino said. “The last year has been incredibly tough due to the global pandemic, and our veterans and elderly have been severely impacted. Now that we have done our part to flatten the curve and we have seemed to turn a corner and protected our most vulnerable populations, I am delighted to honor these deserving individuals at this upcoming event. I hope residents will consider submitting a nomination of an individual who deserves special recognition for their continued efforts on behalf of the veteran community.”

Nominations are being accepted in three different categories of recognition: Veterans Volunteer of the Year (awarded to a veteran), Friend of Veterans Volunteer of the Year (awarded to a non-veteran), and Lifetime Achievement Award (awarded to a veteran or a non-veteran).

All entries must include a supporting narrative describing the nominee’s on-going veterans related

activities, and all nominees must be Town residents. The Town will then recognize the efforts of outstanding individuals who have impacted the lives of our veterans in extraordinary ways yet again this year “Over the past year, our great nation has come together to face COVID-19, so honoring our veterans carries an especially poignant message of unity and our love of freedom. I hope residents will consider submitting a nomination of an individual who deserves special recognition for their continued efforts on behalf of the veteran’s community,” Supervisor Saladino said. “The Town is proud to recognize and honor amazing individuals who have helped to shape our communities for the better through their continuing advocacy and exemplary community service each year. I look forward to recognizing these outstanding individuals, especially after a year where so many of us have gained a greater appreciation of our freedom and all of the things that unite us as a Nation.”

To obtain a nomination form for the Veterans Awards, please visit www. oysterbaytown.com/ honorvets or call (516) 7977925 for an application.

All nominations must be submitted or postmarked no later than June 14, 2021.

(StatePoint) Social distancing guidelines across the country have made visiting a conventional movie theater difficult, if not impossible.

However, what was once a relic of the past has now become an innovation in entertainment, the drivein movie theater.

The drive-in movie theater is nearly as old as the automobile itself.

While today, there are about 300 drive-in theaters across the country, many more are popping up wherever there is space.

Indeed, Walmart recently announced more than 160 of its parking lots will be converted into drive-in movie theaters around the country and many small businesses are doing the same.

“A drive-in movie is the ideal event for anyone with a car because they can get out for a drive to enjoy a common experience with friends and family while taking appropriate social distancing precautions,” says Rah Mahtani, marketing communications manager

Town To Offer Swim Program Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Laura Maier recently announced that the Town of Oyster Bay will offer a swim program this summer at outdoor pools located in SyossetWoodbury Community Park and Marjorie R. Post Community Park in Massapequa.

“Get ready to dive into Oyster Bay Town pools this summer and improve your stroke,” said Supervisor Saladino. “We are proud to offer this swim program to children that reside in the Town of Oyster Bay. Swim programs like this really bring the community together and are an integral part in the training of our young swimmers for the future.”

Town of Oyster Bay

residents aged 6 to 16 are eligible to register for the swim program. Workouts will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, from 9:30am to 10:30am beginning Wednesday, July 7th and ending on Friday, August 13th. If a session is cancelled, make-up day(s) will be attempted.

Registration must be postmarked by June 30th.

Councilwoman Maier stated, “Many of our young people lost the ability to jump into the pool and improve their swim skills during the pandemic due to restrictions in place at the time. Now, with the proper safety protocols in place, we’re happy to offer this swim program and the chance for young people to exercise while improving their strength, endurance,

flexibility, balance and more!”

Program fees (checks or money orders only) are $35 per swimmer for season pass holders, and a $10 discount is offered for each additional swimmer in the same family. For residents without a season pass, the program fee is $50 per swimmer. A $15 discount is offered for each additional swimmer in families without a season pass. Proof of residency/age required when registering, with TOB residents given first preference.

For more information, please call the Oyster Bay Town Department of Parks at (516) 797-4131 or email tobparks@oysterbay-ny. gov.
