THE KIWANIS CLUB OF LINDENHURST'S 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
The Kiwanis Club of Lindenhurst hosted its 75th anniversary celebration on Tuesday, Sept. 16, at the VFW Post 7279. Since its founding in 1950, the club has been serving the Lindenhurst community. It grants scholarships to deserving high school students, sends kids to Kamp Kiwanis in upstate New York, charters a Scout group, helps the Lindenhurst Youth Center, has sponsored a Key Club at Lindenhurst High School for over 60 years, and, more recently, established a Builders Club at Lindenhurst Middle School. It honors Terrific Kids in the district elementary schools and supports needy families with monthly food drives. Its Hometown Heroes banners honoring veterans line the main streets of the Town of Babylon. "For three-quarters of a century, this club has proudly served the children and families of Lindenhurst, guided by the enduring principles of Kiwanis International: service, fellowship, and a commitment to building stronger communities," said club president JoAnn Boettcher at the event." As we celebrate our present, we look ahead to a future filled with service, friendship, and hope," she added.
Lindenhurst Ushers In The 2025-2026 Academic Year
The Lindenhurst Union Free School District officially opened the doors to its new, PreKindergarten Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, August 28th, just in time for the
2025-2026 school year. The ceremony, held at the repurposed Kellum Street School—now the Kellum UPK Center— marked the grand opening of this universal, centralized facility that
consolidates the District’s entire pre-kindergarten program into one dedicated location. The center houses 21 classrooms for the District’s roughly 291 pre-K students, ensuring a consistent, high-quality

On Friday, Sept. 12, the day after 9/11, the National Day of Service and Remembrance, PSEG Long Island, National Grid and the General Needs organization collaborated to serve more than 100 local military veterans in a first-ever Veteran Warm Up event.
Veterans drove into the parking lot of PSEG Long Island/National Grid Hicksville offices, and received bed-in-a-bag bedding, pillows and space heaters, along with reusable shopping bags and energysaving LED lightbulbs. In addition, PSEG Long Island and National Grid provided attendees with important information on their financial programs and energy efficiency tips.
Throughout the year, these two energy companies provide financial support and employee-volunteers at events across the communities where they live and work—including to organizations that support
educational experience for its youngest learners. The event was attended by Lindenhurst School District administrators, Board of Education members, and partners from the District’s Just
Kids partners. “This facility gives us the opportunity to streamline curriculum and instruction, and provide early intervention supports for all of our youngest learners here in Lindenhurst,” said Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Kimberly Boccanfuso. “It is an investment we know will serve generations of students to come.”

“PSEG Long Island and our employees are proud to join forces with General Needs and National Grid to serve former military members who gave so much,” said David Lyons, PSEG Long Island’s interim president and COO. “Veterans can be some of our most vulnerable neighbors and helping them is an important part of PSEG Long Island’s commitment to the safety, security and well-being of our employees and the communities where we live and work.”
“National Grid is proud to partner with PSEG Long Island and General Needs to support our veterans with the essentials they need and deserve,” said Brian Sapp, Director of External Affairs, National Grid. “As we honor the anniversary of September 11 this week, we are reminded of the profound sacrifices our veterans have made for our country. Their courage and commitment inspire our
continued dedication to service and community.”
“We are grateful for the partnership with National Grid and PSEG Long Island in helping General Needs accomplish our mission to provide homeless and disadvantaged veterans with goods and
services in a dignified and respectful manner,” said Lonnie Sherman, cofounder of General Needs.
“Partnerships like these are producing tangible results in helping solve some of the issues that plague the men and women who served our country but now need a
helping hand.”
Veterans are widely considered an underserved and vulnerable group that faces unique challenges in healthcare, mental health, employment, and housing, and Long Island has one of the largest veteran populations in the country.
Along with providing safe and reliable electricity and gas, PSEG Long Island and National Grid also proudly support their community with events and activities throughout the year to directly help their neighbors in need.

The Village Board was pleased to welcome a group of local youth to its regular meeting on Tuesday, September 2, 2025. The students, who participate in dek hockey, attended the meeting to voice their perspectives on the importance of inclusive access to community sports facilities.
“It’s always encouraging to see young residents
taking an active interest in their community,” said Mayor Michael Lavorata. “Hearing directly from our youth reminds us that local decisions have an impact on people of all ages. Their voices add important value to our conversations.”
The Board commended the students for their thoughtful remarks and respectful approach to civic advocacy. While their
comments focused on recreational resources, the broader takeaway was clear: today’s youth are paying attention, and they are eager to be part of shaping the future of their community.
The Village Board encourages ongoing youth participation and is exploring additional opportunities to engage students in local planning and decisionmaking processes.

No More New Year’s Resolutions?
By JoAnn Cilla
Every year, millions of people around the world make New Year’s resolutions, only to find themselves struggling to keep them just a few weeks into the New Yea. But what if there was a better way to make lasting changes in your life? Instead of waiting until January 1st to declare your intentions, why not start on your path to change in September, right after Labor Day?
This year, the day after Labor Day until the end of the year is exactly 120 days. That’s 120 days to make meaningful changes in your life, giving yourself plenty of time to prepare and adjust. You can also choose to make it 100 days or even 90 days, depending on what works best for you. The key is to give yourself enough time and space to make the changes you want, without
the pressure of a New Year’s deadline.
Imagine dancing into 2026 because you made the change you wanted to make. By starting in the fall, you give yourself the opportunity to gradually implement new habits and routines, making them more sustainable in the long run. This approach allows you to ease into your new lifestyle, rather than diving in headfirst on
January 1st and potentially setting yourself up for failure.
This extended period allows you to build momentum and see real progress, making it more likely that you’ll stick with your new habits. It also recognizes that, sometimes in life, we take two steps up and one step back. When it comes to change, success is almost never a straight line. So, find something that you’ve been wanting to change and start your journey this fall. Whether it’s getting in shape, learning a new skill, or breaking a bad habit, give yourself the gift of time and start making those changes now. By the time the New Year rolls around, you’ll already be well on your way to a better, happier you… and it’s a great present to give yourself this holiday season!

PSEG Long Island Helps Return Juvenile Osprey To Nest
PSEG Long Island assisted wildlife conservation partners in returning a juvenile osprey to the Oyster Bay nest from where it had been rescued in July.
The young bird was one of three chicks raised by the osprey parents that have nested on the PSEG Long Island-sponsored nesting platform for several years. PSEG Long Island maintains a 24/7 webcam on the nest, which is how the chick’s health problems became known.
After the bird was rescued, it was given a veterinary examination and then placed in the care of Sweetbriar Nature Center, where it spent about five weeks regaining its strength. Once the young osprey demonstrated it could fly on its own, PSEG Long Island provided the equipment and support to wildlife experts as they placed the osprey back in its nest, where food is left
by the osprey parents so their juvenile offspring can eat before fall arrives and the birds migrate south.
“PSEG Long Island is pleased that we were able to play a role in rescuing this young bird and giving it the best chance of thriving in the wild,” said David Lyons, interim president and COO of PSEG Long Island. “We work closely with wildlife conservation partners to protect osprey from highvoltage equipment because good environmental stewardship is part of being strongly involved in the community, and because it also improves reliability for customers.”
In balancing its commitment to the consistent, safe delivery of power for its customers with its commitment to being a good environmental steward, PSEG Long Island installs protective equipment to deter the returning birds
from nesting on electrical equipment, which puts both the raptors and the electrical system in danger. On occasion, it has installed nesting platforms.
Osprey are wild animals that are extremely uncomfortable with human encounters. Osprey parents have been known to abandon nests with eggs or chicks when they encounter something they perceive as a large predator—like
humans—in the nest. To avoid imperiling the other two osprey fledglings, wildlife conservation experts advised against any intervention effort until the healthy offspring had shown they could fly on their own.
Ospreys build their nests on the tallest structure near a body of water. To proactively monitor its utility poles for osprey nests, PSEG Long Island partners closely with
Group for the East End, a nonprofit organization that has advocated for the protection and preservation of nature on the East End since 1972. Volunteers with the nonprofit conduct their own surveys of the area and share osprey data with the company, which maintains a team dedicated to mitigating risks and relocating nests safely and in accordance with all regulations protecting the
wildlife.
According to a 2023 report issued by the Group for the East End, osprey breeding activity on the East End increased by 200% in eight years, with 199 active nests in 2014 growing to 477 in the summer of 2022.

October is almost here, and I’m ready to enjoy everything that makes fall on Long Island so special. Here’s my personal checklist for the season.
• Comfortable Sweaters and Knit Hats – To keep me warm on the days I walk to my office on Montauk Highway.
• Fall Decorations – Pumpkins, pinecones, and all my favorite Halloween items.
• Apple Cider & Cinnamon Donuts – because fall tastes as good as it looks.
• Morning Trips to My Gym – Because of the cider and donuts.
• A Weekend Trip to a farm stand – to pick pumpkins and mums for my porch.
• Helping Home Buyers and Sellers - Just as the seasons change, sometimes our homes do too.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply curious about your home options, give me a call or stop by my office. I’m happy to help you anyway I can. What’s your checklist for October?
