Lockhart Begins A New Chapter Of Kindness
Kindness is always encouraged at Lockhart Elementary School in the Massapequa School District and this year students are getting a literary reminder.
Every class was provided with a copy of the Pat Zietlow Miller book, “Be Kind.” Teachers read the book aloud to their classes during the first week of the school year, then discussed ways for students to show kindness.
First grade teacher Brianna Maloney said the story serves a reminder for children to be kind no matter where they are, and that no act of kindness can be too small. She said the book’s message will be reinforced in her classroom throughout the year so students can “go out and make difference, and spread warmth.”
Principal Michael DeLuca and Assistant Principal Louisa Vecchione
said they chose “Be Kind” as a schoolwide book not only for its positive message, but because the story provides students with actual examples of kindness. The book also connects to Lockhart’s “Above and Beyond” initiative, in which students are recognized for helping their peers. They are nominated by teachers and staff who see these kind deeds, and are presented with a certificate.

Southern State Parkway Bridge
To Be Renamed In Honor Of 9/11 Responder
The Route 231 Bridge over the Southern State Parkway in North Babylon will be renamed in honor of fallen September 11, 2001 responder Port Authority Detective Thomas M. Inman following the signing of legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Michael Durso and Senator Monica R. Martinez by Gov. Kathy Hochul. The bill passed both houses of the state legislature earlier this year. The legislation dedicating the bridge was signed on the 24th anniversary of the attacks.
Detective Inman was a Vietnam veteran and a decorated member of the Port Authority Police Department, where he served for more than three decades. In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, he
worked 15 months at Ground Zero and in the morgue, helping to recover remains and bring closure to grieving families. He later developed cancer tied to his work at the Ground Zero site and died in 2020.
“Detective Thomas M. Inman’s career was defined by bravery, dedication, and unwavering service to our community,” said Assemblyman Michael Durso. “Let this dedication ensure his legacy of service may never be forgotten.”
“Port Authority Detective Thomas M. Inman’s life was defined by his service to our nation, his neighbors, and all New Yorkers,” Sen. Martinez said. “That service ultimately claimed his life due to cancer linked to his work at Ground
Zero following the September 11th attacks. Today, his legacy stands as a tribute to his strength, courage, and compassion during those darkest days and I thank Gov. Hochul for signing this legislation to ensure Detective Inman’s name and sacrifice are forever remembered.”
According to Leonard Marone, President of the Port Authority Detectives Endowment Association, “This dedication ensures that Detective Inman’s heroism will never be forgotten. His actions exemplify the sacrifice and strength of our law enforcement community.”
Detective Inman served in the U.S. Army at age 17 before joining the Port Authority Police Department, where he
rose to the rank of detective. He retired in 2003 after 32 years of service. He is survived by his wife Diane, his partner of 50 years, as well as nieces, nephews, extended family, friends, and former colleagues.
The September 11 attacks killed nearly 3,000 people, including 72 law enforcement officers and 343 members of the New York City Fire Department. Thousands more first responders later suffered illnesses caused by exposure to toxic debris at Ground Zero. A dedication ceremony for the “Port Authority Detective Thomas M. Inman Memorial Bridge” will be held at a later date, in conjunction with the installation of signage by the New York State Department of Transportation.

Receiver Pravato Reminds Residents Of Mortgage Satisfaction Or New Homeowner Notification
Oyster Bay Town Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato reminds residential property owners that it is essential to notify his office upon satisfying their mortgage.
In addition, Receiver Pravato encourages residents who recently purchased a home, condominium or co-op unit, or recently refinanced, to be sure that notification in writing is sent to Jeffrey P. Pravato, Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, NY 11771-1539 or email receiveroftaxes@oysterbay-ny. gov.
“This will ensure that tax bills are received promptly by the homeowner,” said Tax Receiver Pravato. “A homeowner relying on a bank, attorney, or Nassau County to notify the Tax Office may find there is a delay in billing the homeowner directly, which can lead to the imposition of a late payment penalty.”
“When writing, property owners should include the legal property description, including the school district, section, block, and lot numbers, as well as the name and address to whom tax bills should be directed. In the case of condominiums, the building and unit number should be noted,” added Tax Receiver Pravato.
Residents may also report their information in person by visiting the Office of the Receiver of Taxes at Town Hall North at 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay or Town Hall South at 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa. Both offices are open daily from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm to assist residents.
Property owners residing in incorporated villages must also notify their village assessor. Homeowners requiring further assistance should contact the Office of the Receiver of Taxes at (516) 624-6400.

“Today, we honor
the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to a prosperous future in our hamlet thanks to the commitment of those who have helped bolster our downtown and preserve our history,” said Supervisor Saladino.
Town Clerk LaMarca added, “I’ve been very
proud to work with and be part of great organizations like the Oyster Bay Chamber of Commerce, Main Street Association and Historical Society –who hold a true partnership in our hamlet and ensure that our great history is forever remembered and appreciated.”

Did You Know?
Outdoor living spaces are a good investment for homeowners seeking to enjoy their home exteriors to the fullest, and that investment continues to pay dividends when homes are put on the market. According to Remodeling magazine’s Cost vs. Value report, a number of outdoor living upgrades provide a sizable return on investment (ROI) when homeowners put their properties up for sale. According to the report, a wood deck could recoup up to 82 percent of the original cost at resale, meaning a job that comes in around the national average price of $17,000 could net $14,000 at resale. An outdoor kitchen could prove an even better investment in terms of ROI, as Remodeling magazine indicates such a feature nets a return between 55 percent and 200 percent at resale depending on the location of the home and the materials used for the project.
