“It’s such an amazing experience to have the chance to be behind the scenes. Not on the stage, but to be a part of the writing process.

I do theatre and love performing in shows, but it’s so much fun to take part in the other side of it,” said Ella.

Harrison didn’t previously have theater experience, but does have significant writing and English experience and hopes to become an English teacher one day.

Ella plans to study English or creative writing and possibly minor in theatre.

Help New Ground and change the lives of homeless Veterans and families by supporting their 26th Annual Golf Tournament & Dinner. The event takes place on Monday, May 23, 2022 at Cherry Valley Club in Garden City. Your participation will have a lasting impact on the growing number of Long Island’s homeless, seeing they get essential services to become and remain self-sufficient.

After helping over 250 individuals last year, New Ground is reaching higher ground in 2022, doubling the capacity of their primary JumpStart program. This expansion provides their services for up to 50 households at a time! The agency has had tremendous success with this program helping Long Island’s homeless secure permanent, stable housing. Many more need New Ground’s specialized services as the crisis of homelessness on Long Island is deepening. Reports show that the economic crises have not had an equal impact on all: there are many who have been forced into poverty with the added costs of daily living. The agency needs your help to gift these Veterans and families with the hope of future permanent housing.

Your support of the Golf Tournament & Dinner allows you to help neighbors in need and experience a fantastic day of golf. New event features include: upgraded prizes for all tournament winners, cigar station on the course, and new ways to win with a chance to Beat the Pro. Enjoy returning favorites: the brunch Bloody Mary station, 50/50 Raffle on the Putting Green Challenge, Par 3 Hole-in-One prizes, and more!

Guide To Outdoor Lighting

L

ighting is an essential component of interior and exterior home design.

Not only does lighting add style and make spaces more appealing, when done correctly, it also makes a home safer and more functional. Homeowners who plan to utilize outdoor spaces like backyards, front porches and walkways to the fullest should think carefully about lighting. These guidelines can assist with selecting outdoor lighting fixtures.

Security lighting Flood lights and security lights are a good investment for those who want to beef up visibility and security around the home. These lights are high-intensity and designed to illuminate large areas.

The brightness and reach can serve as a preventive measure to keep animals and even criminals away. Motion-sensor lights will immediately engage if something crosses the path of the sensor.

Some lights will remain on from dusk until dawn. Lowes Home Improvement suggests using the correct wattage on outdoor security lights so they flood an area thoroughly without affecting neighboring properties.

Wall, post and ceiling lights

JOHN GLENN THEATER STUDENTS PRESENT COLORFULLY CREEPY ‘ADDAMS FAMILY’ - The hardworking theater students of Elwood-John H. Glenn High School presented the school’s annual musical on March 25 and 26, a colorfully creepy production of “The Addams Family.” “What a great performance,” Principal Carisa Burzynski said. “Our students and staff did a fabulous job. Photo courtesy of Elwood School District

Outdoor lighting fixtures beyond security options come in a variety of styles, according to Lamps USA. Wall lights are mounted to the outdoor wall of the home.

These typically flank doorways or the garage. Post lights are often installed on the posts of decks and porches, or are free-standing on properties, providing visibility but also style. Ceiling-mounted lights may be above doorways or installed in any structure that has an overhead area. Warm-colored temperature bulbs in these fixtures can create an inviting atmosphere that is not too bright and

jarring, especially when multiple lighting fixtures are working together. When selecting lighting for wall-mounted fixtures, experts suggest sizing up if you are not sure of the size to pick, as lights will look much smaller in scale from a distance.

Accent and landscape lighting

QUESTIONS? Contact: Diane Serenita at (516) 564-4764 ext. 125 or events@ newground.org New Ground, Inc. is a unique 501c3 not-for-profit agency, founded in 1991 that is committed to educating and empowering Veterans and families who are caught in the vicious cycle of homelessness on Long Island. Comprehensive services consist of employment counseling, financial literacy, life skills development including parenting and household maintenance, educational tutoring, reading assistance, education advocacy, tuition assistance, and much more.

Reaching Higher Ground: Helping The Homeless One Golf Swing At A Time

A bevy of accent lighting choices are available. Accent lighting is designed to enhance the mood and appearance of certain elements of a landscape. Accent lighting is not intended to add bright light.

For example, upward-directed lights can be cast on trees or shrubs to accentuate their shapes. Accent lighting also may call out a structure, such as a garden or a fountain. While accent lighting may be hard-wired, homeowners who want the luxury of changing lighting can opt for solar fixtures, which are more mobile but not as bright.

Additional pointers

When shopping for bulbs, consider the number of lumens. A standard 100-watt bulb produces around 1,600 lumens.

Security lights should range from 700 to 1,300 lumens for optimal brightness.

Other lights needn’t be so bright.

Furthermore, ensure that any fixtures that are being used are safety-rated for outdoors. Wet-rated fixtures are designed to withstand direct exposure to outdoor elements, advises the design experts at Schoolhouse, a lighting and lifestyle goods company. Damp-rated fixtures are built for outdoor locations protected from harsh weather. Look for the product details or work with an electrician to choose the right lighting choices.

Lighting can transform outdoors spaces for the better.

First Annual DFQ 22 Mile Duathlon To Be Held May 21 On May 21, 2022 Project9line will host the First Annual DFQ 22 Mile Duathlon at Veterans Memorial Park in Calverton, New York. This first of its kind duathlon will consist of a 9 mile run, followed by a 9 mile ruck and concluding with a 4 mile run. Anyone is able to participate, whether or not you have served our country.

For veterans, the transition to civilian life can be extremely difficult, as they tend to go from structure and routine to a lifestyle that is much less rigid. Additionally, the camaraderie they once had may be quickly depleted once they find themselves going through life as a regular civilian. The unfortunate truth is that around 20 veterans a day commit suicide.

The 9 mile run is dedicated to those members of the armed services that we’ve

lost in combat. The 9 mile ruck is to remember those lost to suicide. The final 4 mile run is dedicated to each runner, so they can celebrate their achievements and reflect on some things they have not quit on.

As a non-profit organization, Project9line supports veterans by providing avenues for them to communicate their experiences and express themselves through the arts and activities. This 22 Mile Duathlon is a way for them to show that they will never quit supporting the troops and our veterans, and it will start at precisely 7:12am to honor a veteran who committed suicide on July 12, 2011.

If you are looking to participate, you can register online up until May 20, 2022 for $150. If you want to participate, but need the funds to do so, there is a fundraising option that

you can choose online when registering, which allows you to register for $0, however you will need to fundraise a minimum of $450 by May 21, 2022. Each participant will receive a race medal, long sleeve shirt and a windbreaker. The first male and first female to finish the duathlon will also receive a DFQ Championship Belt.

Additionally, there will be a “Veteran Service Organization Village” at the event, consisting of various booths occupied by organizations that help veterans. If your organization would like to have a booth, or you are someone who would like to volunteer at the event, please email info@Project9line.org or call 631.841.1141.

For more information on Project9line, visit www. project9line.org. To register for the event, please visit w w w. e v e n t s . e l i t e f e a t s . com/22dfq.

Five Creative Visions Fine Art Exhibition At Mills Pond Gallery Through May 13, 2022 Smithtown Township Arts Council is pleased to present Five Creative Visions through May 13 at Mills Pond Gallery.

This exhibit features five artists, each sharing their creative voice through a different medium (acrylic, oil, pastel, watercolor and photography) Bellmore artist David P. Doran is a light film photographer using both 35mm and roll film cameras. He is a former member of the Camera Club of New York. This exhibit focuses on street photography influenced

by Gary Winogrand (19281984). Most were taken in New York City, the capital of this genre. In recent years, street photography has been looked upon in some corners as somewhat shopworn.

David adamantly disagrees stating, “The street is a river of life and such

photos are to be considered as part of the tradition of social documentary photography.”

Mt. Sinai artist Terence McManus has always been fascinated by the human face. A retired social worker with a Master’s degree from Adelphi University, Terence always found time for drawing.

From a young age, he drew obsessively. Once his children were grown, he painted daily, participated in art groups and devoured art magazines, always perfecting his portraiture.

Primarily a self-taught artist, Terence’s art has been exhibited in hundreds of exhibitions in the New York metropolitan area, winning more than sixty awards in prestigious shows including The Butler Institute of American Art and The

Suffolk County Legislators Pay Tribute To Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum

SUFFOLK ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MAY 11, 2022 - MAY 24, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Suffolk County Legislators Manuel Esteban and Stephanie Bontempi recently presented a proclamation to Elizabeth Wayland-Morgan, Executive Director of the Vanderbilt Museum in honor of the Hall of Fishes marine museum and its 100th Anniversary.

In 1910, William K. Vanderbilt II purchased 43 acres of waterfront land in Centerport and called it his Eagle’s Nest estate. In 1922, Mr. Vanderbilt built a marine museum, the first stage of his larger museum complex.

Mr. Vanderbilt traveled the world to collect thousands of specimens, including fish, insects, invertebrates, birds and wild animals, along with cultural artifacts from Africa and the Pacific. The museum has the largest collection of

privately assembled marine specimens from the pre atomic era.

“My family and I have spent time at the Vanderbilt Museum and we enjoyed our visit. It is a beautiful estate, and offers so much history, in addition to being a wonderful educational facility. We are lucky to have this gem in our backyard,” said Legislator Esteban.

“As a parent and former teacher, I appreciate everything that the Vanderbilt Museum has to offer. In addition to providing educational opportunities in the sciences and in history, it is also just a fun place to spend the day.

Rep. Zeldin Discusses Northport VA With Veterans Advisory Board, Provides Legislative Update

On Tuesday, April 26, 2022, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), a U.S. Army veteran, hosted a virtual meeting with members of his Veterans Advisory Board to discuss proposed cuts to the Northport VA Medical Center (VAMC) and other issues affecting local veterans.

Congressman Zeldin also provided an

update on his continued efforts to build support for veteran-focused legislation he is leading, including the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Program Act. “The proposed cuts to Northport VAMC have the potential to have wide ranging effects for veterans throughout our communities who depend

on Northport for their healthcare services,” said Congressman Zeldin. “I am grateful for the members of my Veterans Advisory Board who were able to share their unique perspectives on this issue, and we will continue working together to help Long Island veterans access the high quality care they have earned.”

Students Enjoy Phone-Free Retreat

PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE VANDERBILT MUSEUM - Suffolk County Legislators Manuel Esteban and Stephanie Bontempi recently presented a proclamation to Elizabeth Wayland-Morgan, Executive Director of the Vanderbilt Museum in honor of the Hall of Fishes marine museum and its 100th Anniversary. Shown (l to r) James Kelly, Board of Trustee President; Dave Bush, Planetarium Director; Legislator Esteban, Elizabeth Wayland-Morgan, Executive Director; Legislator Bontempi, Paul Rubery, Director of Curatorial Affairs and Sue Madlinger, Director of Development.

A tradition for Northport High School International Baccalaureate seniors has returned with the annual weekend retreat at Frost Valley YMCA in the Catskill Mountains. The trip, which seniors have been enjoying for over a decade, brings students together through bonding activities and a phone-free environment.

With no WiFi, students were able to use their

phones for photos but not for phone calls or internet service. The reprieve from technology was part of the experience, and IB Coordinator Anna Kessler felt it was “why the retreat was successful in solidifying the bond between us all.”

Throughout the weekend, students participated in activities including hiking, zip-lining, archery, candle making and simple

structure design challenges.

These simple activities encouraged students to apply their knowledge of the arts, physics and more.

According to their website, Frost Valley YMCA is a “camp, retreat destination, & Environmental Education Center offering people of all ages and abilities enriching, even life-altering, outdoor experiences.”

External Diploma Program The External Diploma Program offers adults 21 and over, the opportunity to receive credit for their life experiences, and earn a high school equivalency diploma without the challenge of taking lengthy timed examinations. EDP, is a competency based

program for students who are unable to attend classes or who prefer to work at home. Successful candidates for EDP include former ESL students, students who have been out of school for prolonged periods of time, or students who fare better without

the structure of tests. This program is an alternative to other programs.

Anyone interested should call Western Suffolk BOCES to meet with a counselor.

410 (Northport). Brendan Murray, an Eagle Scout from Troop 410 served as the Mass lector. There were 17 Catholic Religious Emblems awarded to the Cub Scouts and also recognized were two Scouts who earned their Presbyterian Religious Emblems.

Cub Scouts from local Cub Scout Packs with the assistance of their parents, leaders and Chaplain recently completed the Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei Catholic Scout Religious Emblems programs.

These courses consist of activities and Bible studies designed to help the Scout become more aware of God’s presence in his daily life, especially within the home and community. By completing the requirements, the Scout has strengthened their spiritual growth and religious knowledge.

Presentations of the Catholic Cub Scout Religious Emblems were made during the Celebration of the Mass at St. Anthony of Padua in East Northport. The Boy

Scouts of America has created a strong foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America’s youth. Scouting has brought families and communities together for more than 100 years to prepare America’s youth to live, work, and play with character and integrity. Scouting is as vital and relevant today as it was when our journey began. The Scout Sunday tradition was started to make people in houses of worship aware of Scouting, and to allow Scouts to live out their “Duty to God” pledged each week.”

During the presentation of the Cub Scout Religious Emblems the explanation of the medals was given and each of the Cub Scout’s names for the Light of Christ recipients and the names for the Parvuli Dei recipients were read aloud Also recognized at the Scout Sunday service was Eagle Scout Matthew Baldwin of Troop 5 for his service to St. Anthony of Padua Church and Saint Anthony’s High School.

ome improvement projects can help homeowners transform their homes. Such projects are costly, but many homeowners save money by doing some, if not all, of the work themselves.

The Electrical Safety Foundation International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting electrical safety, recommends that homeowners leave electrical work to the professionals. Licensed electricians are well-trained, whereas homeowners may not be skilled enough to avoid accidents or injuries, which can prove fatal when working with electricity.

Homeowners who take the do-it-yourself route with electrical work should consider these safety tips, courtesy of the ESFI, before beginning a home electrical project.

• Learn your home electrical system. Home electrical systems may include power lines, electric meters, service panels, subpanels, wiring, and more. These systems are complex, and homeowners who intend to do some DIY electrical work should familiarize themselves with their home electrical systems prior to beginning any work. The ESFI notes that knowledge of their home electrical systems can help homeowners more safely navigate them and make maintenance easier.

• Honestly assess your skills. An honest assessment of skills is absolutely necessary prior to working on an electrical system. According to the National Safety Council, injuries relating to electrical incidents typically fall into one of four categories: electrical shock, electrocution, falls, and burns.

Each of these injuries is significant.

For example, electric shock, which occurs when electrical current passes over or through a person’s body, involves burns, abnormal heart rhythm and unconsciousness. Given the potential for serious injury, the ESFI urges homeowners to make an honest assessment of their skills before they begin working on their home’s electrical systems. Little or no experience working with electrical systems should be considered a significant hurdle to any DIY project.

• Turn the power off. It’s essential that the power to the circuit that will be worked on be turned off prior to starting any work. This can be accomplished by switching off the circuit breaker in the main service panel.

Similarly, when working on appliances or lamps, make sure the products are unplugged prior to working on them.

• Do not touch plumbing or gas pipes when doing electrical work.

The experts at the Indiana Electric Cooperative note that the risk for electrocution is significant when water comes in contact with electricity. It’s imperative that homeowners do not touch plumbing and gas pipes when performing a DIY electrical project. Professionals know how to work around such pipes while minimizing their risk for electric shock or worse, and homeowners must familiarize themselves with the techniques professionals rely on to stay safe if they intend to begin DIY electrical projects.

Homeowners are best served by leaving electrical work to the professionals. However, those who insist on doing such work themselves should do their homework and get to know their systems and safety protocols prior to beginning a project.

The Matinecock District scouts and their volunteer scouting leaders participated in the annual “A Scout is Reverent Week”, in recognition of the Boy Scouts of America and the 12th point of the Scout Law, usually during the first week in February.

The youths attended and took part in leading services at all of the houses of worship both in the host Churches and Temples as well as at their local places of worship (some of which are the Cub Scout Pack, Boy Scout Troop, Venturing Crew or Explorer Post’s sponsoring organization).

The scouts were able to join together and be recognized this year during the Celebration of the Mass held at St. Anthony of Padua in East Northport.

At Scout Sunday the participating Scouts were from Cub Scout Pack 5(East Northport), Pack 238 (East Northport), Pack 312 (East Northport), and 471 (Elwood) and from Boy Scout Troop 5 (East Northport), Troop 8 (East Northport), Troop 52 (East Northport), and Troop

Options For Community Living’s 40th Anniversary Ruby Gala And Casino Night Honored Dale Cole And Brian Rooney Options for Community Living, Inc. recently celebrated its 40th Anniversary with a Gala and Casino Night at the Heritage Club in Bethpage. The event acknowledged honorees Dale Cole, Newsday/ Newsday Charities, and Brian Rooney, Mutual of America as well as the retirement of founding board member, Michael McClain.

Two-hundred people attended the event, which raised over $75,000 for Options’ programs which help vulnerable Long Islanders live independently in the community.

Yolanda Robano-Gross, CEO at Options for Community Living, Inc. introduced the evening by acknowledging the challenges of the last two years and recognizing Options employees for their commitment to the mission. “It has been my privilege, particularly these last two years, to lead and be part of the most caring, compassionate, and strong group of individuals that we call Team Options.

Over 200 strong, our team worked tirelessly to ensure the safety, dignity, and care of more than 2,400 men, women, and children across Nassau and Suffolk Counties,” remarked Ms. Robano-Gross.

Options recognized honoree, Dale Cole, Community Affairs Project Manager for Newsday, and the driving force behind Newsday Charities which provides vital support to local nonprofits.

“Dale has impacted countless lives through her work,” stated Yolanda Robano-Gross. “Options has been the grateful recipient of support provided through Newsday Charities for many years, and we are thankful for Newsday’s efforts to activate Long Islanders in support of our communities most vulnerable residents.”

More Than $75,000 Raised For Options Programs That Help Some Of Long Island’s Most Vulnerable Residents

Yolanda Robano-Gross With Brian Rooney

Dale In accepting her award, Dale Cole said, “We know first-hand of Options’ never-ending dedication to helping people find stability in their lives and providing them with the tools they need to move forward.

Thank you to Options for this honor, but the real honor goes to the staff of Options in recognition of the tremendous support they’ve given to the Long Island community for 40 years. I applaud you all.”

Options also recognized the contributions of honoree Brian Rooney, Senior Vice President, Mutual of America, and active supporter of area nonprofit organizations.

“While Brian lends his support to multiple organizations, he is special to us,” said Yolanda Robano-Gross.

“He recognizes the needs of nonprofit organizations and acts – by volunteering and through financial support.

He believes in giving back

Cole whenever possible. I feel privileged to have him in our corner.”

In his acceptance speech, Brian Rooney credited his parents with “teaching him the right thing to do,” and acknowledged the staff at Options for Community Living, for their compassion and kindness. Addressing the audience Brian said, “This is why I am so proud to support Options and the amazing work accomplished by their employees.”

The Gala also celebrated retiring founding board member Michael McClain who encouraged everyone to “remain vigilant” as advocates for those in need of assistance, and a moving testimonial was provided by Options’ employee Michele M. Michele is a resident in Options’ supportive housing and works as a peer specialist helping support others in their recovery from mental illness.

Sharing her life

Michael McClain with Judy Simoncic experience, Michele said, “Options has played a pivotal role in both my personal and professional life. I continue to receive the support I need from Options staff and in turn, I can provide support and encouragement to others facing their own struggles.

Back in 2017, I had no hope, no vision, no sense of selfworth. But with my family, my treatment team, and Options, I have been able to not only survive, but thrive.

And isn’t that what life is all about?”

About Options for Community Living, Inc. Established in 1982, Options for Community Living, Inc. operates residential programs for adults recovering from mental illness, care coordination services for adults and children with chronic health conditions, and housing and services for homeless people with disabilities and/or HIV/

also serve the purpose and are more budget-friendly. Stock tank pools are popular among those who want minimal pool expenditure or have small spaces to work with. Stock tanks are metal vessels traditionally used as watering holes for livestock. They also can be “adult kiddie pools” when combined with some plumbing. Galvanized steel frames make them sturdy. With floats and other accessories, they can become the perfect oasis.

Provide outdoor atmosphere

Create a bespoke bistro vibe by using freestanding planters and posts along with hanging lights to make an intimate outdoor hangout spot at night. For those with permanent structures, like a deck or a gazebo, lights can be strung across the area or on railings or edging.

Decks and patios can help make outdoor entertaining areas more comfortable by eliminating the need to sit on the grass or gravel. Plus, they add another “room” to the home. When paired with weatherproof patio furniture, such as sofas, loungers and tables, a private seating area can be crafted and utilized for any number of entertaining desires.

arm weather means more time to relax outdoors. For those homeowners lucky enough to have entertaining spaces outside, spring and summer provides plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh air under the sun or stars.

Over the last few years, families have become especially familiar with what works about their yards and where there is room for improvement. Pandemicrelated travel restrictions and early stayat-home mandates resulted in plenty of time spent in backyards on staycations.

Even though many such restrictions have been lifted, homeowners may have seen the benefits of having functional respites right outside their doors.

A backyard renovation can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000.

The American Society of Landscape Architects suggests homeowners budget the cost of a major landscaping project at between 5 and 10 percent of their home’s value. Here are ways to make an outdoor people desire.

PSEG Long Island Reminds You To Call 811 Before You Dig A free call to 811 in the service area automatically connects the caller to the local New York one-call center, which collects information about digging projects. The one-call center then provides the information to the utility companies, which send representatives to mark the locations of nearby underground lines with flags, paint or both. Once lines have been properly marked and confirmation from all of the utility owners is received, projects may proceed as long as caution is used around the marked areas.

Here’s important information to consider: · Calling 811 before digging reduces the chances of damaging an underground line to less than 1%. · Underground gas and electric lines are everywhere, even on private properties. These facilities can be easily damaged if dug into, with the potential to cause serious injuries.

Digging into these lines can also disrupt vital utility services, resulting in costly delays, expensive repairs and environmental or property damage.

Whether the job is a major home improvement project or something as simple as a fence or mailbox post, a call to 811 must be placed beforehand to determine where it’s safe to dig.

Call 811 at least two business days before the commencement of each job to have underground pipes, wires and equipment located.

Each facility owner must respond by providing the excavator with a positive confirmation indicating that marks are in place where utility lines are

ertain home improvement projects are more complex than others.

Projects that involve working with gas lines are among the most complicated and risky undertakings, and even seasoned do-ityourselfers are urged to leave such tasks to certified professionals.

According to Angi, the average cost to move a gas line is between $15 and $25 per linear foot, and homeowners can

Low-Cost Outdoor Home Improvements

t’s no secret that a goodlooking lawn can entice buyers when selling a home, but homeowners may not realize just how much they can benefit from even the smallest investments of time and money in their home exteriors.

According to the Top Agent Insights Q2 2019 Report from HomeLight, low-cost outdoor home improvements to a landscape provide sizable returns on investment. For example, the report found that a

CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG - Whether using heavy equipment, like this PSEG Long Island employee, or digging by hand, property owners must call 811 to have underground infrastructure marked out before they begin a project. Photo courtesy of PSEG Long Island buried or that there are no existing facilities in the area of the proposed work. This service is free of charge.

Be sure to wait until all of the utilities have responded. Don’t dig until lines have been marked or you have received confirmation that the area is clear of facilities.

Property owners must maintain and respect the marks. Always hand dig within 2 feet of marked lines to find the existing facilities before using mechanized equipment.

If gas lines are damaged or there is a gas smell when excavating, call 911 immediately from a safe area.

Calling before you dig is more than a good idea − it’s the law.

Additional information, including a booklet on safe excavating practices and the protection of underground facilities, can be found on the PSEG Long Island website.

expect to pay an additional $1 to $10 per linear foot for pipe materials. A natural gas plumber can install, extend and repair natural gas lines and ensure that the project is completed safely, on time and within homeowners’ budgets. Angi notes that the average cost to move a gas line is between $250 and $750 for the whole project. However, if a buried line must be excavated, that cost could run into the thousands of dollars.

$268 investment in a lawn care service can lead to a $1,211 increase in home value at resale. Similarly, $340 worth of fresh mulch can increase home value at resale by $769. More than 85 percent of real estate professionals who participated in the HomeLight survey recommended other small and simple projects, including removing dirt, grime and cobwebs from a home entrance and trimming trees and shrubs prior to putting a home on the market.

Did You Know?

ccording to the Environmental Protection Agency, homes with clock timer controlled irrigation systems use about 50 percent more water outdoors than homes without irrigation systems.

Water waste can be even more significant if irrigation systems are not programmed correctly or if they have a leak. In addition, if sprinkler heads are situated incorrectly, water might be directed to areas of the lawn or garden that don’t need water, or even onto driveways and sidewalks.

To reduce water waste, and save on their

monthly water utility bills, homeowners can employ WaterSense labeled irrigation controllers.

Such controllers adjust irrigation schedules automatically based on local weather and landscape conditions.

These systems emploqy intuitive programming controls to schedule irrigation based on the water requirements of the plants. The controllers can make it easier for homeowners to keep their lawns and gardens green even during dry periods, such as drought, while still adhering to local water utility restrictions.

SUFFOLK ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MAY 11, 2022 - MAY 24, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

SEG Long Island reminds customers, contractors and excavators to always call 811 before digging to ensure underground pipelines, conduits, wires and cables are properly marked out.

Every digging project, even a small project like planting a tree or building a deck, requires a call to 811. It’s the law. The call is free and the mark-out service is free. The call must be made whether the job is being performed by a professional or a doit-yourselfer. Striking an underground electrical line can cause serious injury and outages, and result in repair costs and fines.

“Spring’s warmer temperatures make it a perfect time for starting improvements to our homes and businesses.

Calling 811 ahead of time helps protect underground utility lines and, more importantly, the safety of anyone digging,” said Michael Sullivan, PSEG Long Island’s vice president of Transmission and Distribution Operations.

“We are glad to see that our customers are getting the message.

Last year there were more than 240,000 mark-out requests in our service area, and so far this year, there have been more than 48,000 requests to 811.”

According to Common Ground Alliance, a member-driven association of nearly 1,800 individuals and 250 member companies in every facet of the underground utility industry, 40% of active diggers in North America do not call 811 because they think their project is too shallow to require it. All digging projects require a call to 811.

The Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk (EOC of Suffolk) is a Patchoguebased non-profit organization that promotes selfsufficiency among low-income families and individuals by revitalizing communities, broadening the minds of children and assisting families in need.

While much of EOC of Suffolk’s work is concentrated in Suffolk County, it also operates several programs that serve residents of both Suffolk and Nassau counties. One of those bi-county offerings is the organization’s Housing Counseling Services.

As a HUD-approved housing counseling agency, EOC of Suffolk offers a comprehensive array of housing services. Its “Mortgage Default and Foreclosure Prevention Counseling” program provides mortgage counseling for homeowners island-wide who are having difficulty maintaining their mortgage.

Many households across the country and across Long Island confront the risk of foreclosure. Last month, foreclosure filings nationwide reached the highest level since the pandemic began in March 2020. More than 30 thousand properties across the U.S. faced foreclosure, a 181 percent jump from March 2021 and a 29 percent increase from February.

It was recently reported that about 14,500 Long Island homeowners were at least three months behind on paying their mortgages. The risk of foreclosure has increased when a statewide foreclosure moratorium expired in January.

and talk through possible courses of action to bring a mortgage current.

They will discuss loss mitigation options and inform homeowners of financial and legal resources available to them. Counselors can explain how homeowners can work with lenders or agencies on forbearance plans or loan modifications.

EOC of Suffolk also offers “Comprehensive Housing Counseling” that helps individuals and families achieve their dream of homeownership. The program provides one-to-one homeownership counseling and group counseling, as well as budget and credit counseling.

Finally, the organization also helps current and prospective homeowners through an online, eight-hour “Homebuyer Education Course.” The course helps enrollees determine if homeownership is right for them, how to shop for a home and how to maintain a home. Those completing the course receive a certificate that positions homebuyers to fulfill education requirements for down payment assistance programs. The certificate can also be presented to lenders. The course operates on a convenient and flexible timetable allowing participants to complete it on their own schedule.

For more information about EOC of Suffolk’s various housing counseling services, call 631-968-8000 or visit www. eoc-suffolk.com.

To help Long Island families keep their homes, EOC of Suffolk retains an experienced team of certified foreclosure prevention counselors who will help homeowners understand the complex foreclosure process, If your non-profit would like to be featured in this column, please email noellestanuch@longislandmediagroup.com for consideration.

Suffolk County Legislature Minority Leader Jason Richberg, Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey, and Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone have announced the second annual Suffolk County Youth Week will be held from May 16 through May 21. As part of the annual weeklong celebration, several events have been planned to honor, mentor and celebrate young people in Suffolk County.

Suffolk County Youth Week is the result of legislation sponsored by Legislator Richberg and approved by the county legislature to designate the third week of May as “Youth Week” starting in 2021. A collaboration among the Suffolk County Legislature, Suffolk County Executive Bellone, the Suffolk County Youth Bureau, and the Suffolk County Department of Labor, Licensing and Consumer Affairs, the goal of Youth Week is to recognize children between the ages of 9 and 12 as well as teenagers and celebrate their active participation in our communities.

“I want to thank all of our partners and supporters who helped bring our second annual Youth Week to fruition,” said Legislator Richberg. “Youth Week is about celebrating our next generation of leaders, encouraging them to stay on the path of helping others, and giving young people more opportunities to get involved. We hope to keep this a tradition in Suffolk County for many years to come.”

Suffolk County Youth Week will kick off on Monday, May 16 with the Second Annual Suffolk County Youth Awards, a celebration of young people from across the county. This year’s awards will recognize youth who have gone above and beyond in helping their communities over the past year. Suffolk County youth who performed

Five Creative Visions Fine Art Exhibition At Mills Pond Gallery Continued From 6 Pastel Society of America, among many others. “No two people are alike and what a person experienced in life is often written on the face. When I do a portrait I strive to capture the past, the present and to use a cliché, the soul of the person.”

Nesconset artist Jim Minet works mostly in oil, watercolor, and

acrylic. He studied at The Art Students League in Manhattan and taught drawing and painting at 92Y in Manhattan.

Jim has demonstrated, painting throughout the Eastern USA for brands such as Sennelier, Daniel Smith, Fabriano, Silver Brush, Masterpiece Canvas, and others. He has exhibited his work across Long Island and in NYC and teaches at

numerous spaces across Long Island. “My work is representational in nature but still very eclectic, I like to experiment with different mediums and styles.

As people, we are fluid, dynamic, ever changing. My art will change because I will change.

Ultimately I believe that whatever creative expression you give to the world -- it is, and can only be, a

reflection of yourself.”

Primarily a realist painter, Rob Roehrig of East Setauket focuses his creations mainly on landscapes and seascapes.

He is especially attracted to scenes that highlight the contrast between sun and shadow. Rob’s passion for creativity began in elementary school. He took some art courses in high school and at Hofstra University, but decided on social studies education as a career path. After raising a family and retiring from teaching, Rob took up Oil Painting and his (The scholarship is not scholarship is administered new “career” as an artist for clinical-based study.) by the Hospital Council’s took over. “Many of my The Ann Marie Brown C o m m u n i c a t i o n s paintings try to capture Memorial Scholarship Committee.

passion for art and education, Melissa Vultaggio of Massapequa holds both an Associate degree in Fashion Design Apparel from the Fashion Institute of Technology and a Bachelor degree in Childhood Education from SUNY Old Westbury. Her art reflects her interest in theology, symbolism and synchronicity. She juxtaposes elements of reality with abstraction and surrealism using acrylic paint and mixed media. Her rhythmic compositions convey feelings of whimsy with elements of surprise inspired by visions she acquires in her dreams.

Melissa’s enthusiasm for art education comes from her belief that young children’s creativity is at its peak, when young minds are free to imagine

and explore, given the right motivation, artistic mediums and skills to experiment!

How Color Can Affect Your Garden

F

lower gardens can add color and awe-inspiring appeal to a property. The National Gardening Association notes that gardeners can find nearly every color of the spectrum in flowering perennials. So whether you prefer soft pink, are partial to bright red or want to relax in a garden and gaze at something deep blue, chances are you’ll find a perennial to tickle your fancy.

These colors are those that are next to each other on the color wheel, such as orange and red. The NGA recommends harmonious colors for gardeners looking to create a unifying feel in their gardens without resorting to a monochromatic color scheme.

Harmonious colors give off a gentle feeling that can make for a relaxing garden atmosphere.

The NGA offers the following breakdown of colors to help gardeners learn how their gardens can set the mood they’re looking for.

Monochromatic Colors

Bright Colors A garden full of bright colors like red, orange, magenta, and yellow can provide a landscape with vigor and energy. The NGA notes that brightly colored flowers can withstand especially bright sunshine, meaning gardeners can marvel at their appearance even when the sun might be adversely affecting other plants and flowers.

Pastel Colors Pastels, which include soft pink, powder blue, lavender, and peach, create a tranquil feeling in a garden. This makes

Harmonious Colors

pastel colors perfect for those who want their gardens to be a relaxing, peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, particularly in urban or highly populated areas. The NGA notes that pastels may looked washed out in the midday sun, so they might be best enjoyed early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

Complementary Colors Complementary colors are those that are opposite one another on the color wheel. Orange and blue are examples of complementary colors. According to the NGA, complementary colors can add creative energy, versatility and vitality to a garden.

Monochromatic gardens can be awe-inspiring even though they stick to a single color and don’t provide a wide array of colors. The NGA notes that gardeners with monochromatic gardens make them interesting by using plants of various sizes and shapes.

With monochromatic color gardens, the variety of plantings is key to making this aesthetic work.

When planting a garden, gardeners can choose whichever color scheme they prefer. To learn more about the effects of color on a garden, visit the National Gardening Association website at www.garden.org.
