PLUMBING & HEATING SPECIALIST

Few things document weddings more effectively than photographs. Carefully curated wedding albums and portraits hung on walls serve as daily reminders of a couple’s special day.

Photography is often left in the very qualified hands of professional photographers. However, couples can pitch in to make their photos really pop. These picture pointers from industry insiders can help couples put their best smile forward.

Enlist A Family Photo Coordinator

Leave Ample Time

Delve Into The Details

Play Your Style Safe

Prepare wedding details, like gowns, shoes, accessories, etc., in advance to save time once the photographer arrives, suggests Desi Mendoza, a pro from Dez and Tam Photography. Invest in a beautiful hanger for the wedding gown as well, because you may want to photograph that on its own.

Put Together A Short List

The photographer will have his or her ideas of which shots to cover, but a couple with specific goals in mind should relay that information to their photographer.

For example, if a grandparent is getting up in years, request some solo photos of that person so you can look back on happy times together. Certain couples want to be snapped posing with a beloved pet. Putting that on the list helps ensure it will happen.

Learn To Pose

Couples can practice posing in front of mirrors to get a feel for body positions that put them in their best light. A photographer’s advice in regard to posture is invaluable as well. Create space between arms and the body and learn how to angle the body so you look your best.

Photos will capture wedding day memories forever.

Couples can put themselves in the best positions for success by following some photography guidelines.

A wedding day is not a time for the bride or groom to try a dramatic new style, according to photographer Amanda Lamb. Resist the urge for a daring cut or color. It’s also likely not the place to try out new facial hair or heavy makeup. A couple unaccustomed to the way they look may be shy in front of the camera.

If the photographer does not have his or her own assistant, recruit someone who is assertive to help wrangle everyone for the family shots. Attempt to get family photos when family members are relaxed but not too far rumpled by dancing or having a good time.

395337N020222

A carefully orchestrated timeline can ensure photos are the best they can be. Why? Because a couple who is relaxed and not overwhelmed will notice that attitude translates to their photographs. When planning wedding timelines, couples should leave ample opportunities for getting dressed, chatting with the wedding party and going through various photography settings to grab great photos, advise the experts at Martha Stewart.

Help Others

Wedding planning involves many movable pieces that ultimately need to come together on the big day.

Planning is typically a months-long process, and adhering to certain monthly benchmarks can help couples stay the course.

Brides magazine offers that the perfect engagement period is 12 to 14 months, which affords ample time to get organized and work with vendors.

With that in mind, here’s a 12-month timeline for couples getting ready to say “I do.”

At the start of the planning process, establish your budget, hire a wedding planner (optional), choose the wedding party, pick a date, and start to assemble a cursory guest list. This also is a great time to begin touring venues to get a feel for potential ceremony and reception locales.

With locations across Nassau and Suffolk, Family & Children’s Association (FCA) is a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to providing help and hope to Long Island’s most vulnerable children, families, seniors and communities. FCA envisions a Long Island where a legacy of optimal health, educational success and economic security passes from one generation to the next; each year it serves 30,000 individuals and families in Suffolk and Nassau counties. Its mission strives to make our island a better place for all of us to live, work and raise a family.

FCA has served Long Islanders since 1884 and today its more than 40 programs fall into five big areas of need: Addiction Prevention, Treatment & Recovery Taking on addiction from every angle, beginning with prevention. Recovery support services are offered Islandwide with offices from Hempstead to Westhampton Beach.

Children’s Mental Health & Wellness This division offers an array of services and supports designed to promote the health and wellness of children and their families. The services are for individuals up to 21 years of age who have or are at risk of developing a mental health diagnosis. Services are always free to clients, voluntary, family-driven, strength-based, and culturally competent, with location and scheduling tailored to each family’s needs. They also provide support for the families of individuals with mental and/ or behavioral health issues.

Prevention & Family Support FCA’s prevention team provides critical services to at-risk children and families including a nursery co-op program,

alcohol and substance abuse and gun violence r e d u c t i o n program, and more, through collaboration, education, and advocacy.

Residential Care FCA operates four residences that focus on quality care, seamless transitions and well-managed aftercare services for youth. Nassau Haven and Walkabout provide emergency shelter and longer term transitional housing for homeless, runaway and trafficked youth. Two other residences support children and young adults with serious emotional disturbances or mental health issues.

Senior & Adult Services FCA believes that every senior deserves to live with dignity, safety and independence. FCA helps more than 10,000 seniors a year with meal deliveries, caregiver support, home visits for companionship, elder abuse prevention and advocacy.

The number of people who turn to FCA for help is growing and with it, the need for donations to close gaps in government funding. FCA’s programs and services are greatly enhanced by the involvement of others, whether through donations of time or money, and welcome the help of all Long Islanders to further its mission. Therefore, if you would like to get involved with this organization, you can!

Stay tuned for next week’s article to learn about ways you can give, such as Mission Moment Scholarship Fund, Legacy Planning and Giving Tree, along with Adopt-A-Family and volunteer opportunities!

Make Party Hosting A Breeze

Entertaining is a great way to show good will and friendship to others and to celebrate special occasions.

Many people can successfully throw parties, but hosting a great party takes a little extra effort. By following some tips, hosts can ensure their next party is one to remember.

Stick To A Theme

Many party hosts find that themes help in the planning.

Themes make it easy to coordinate invitations, decor, food, and music. Guests also may enjoy dressing up according to the theme.

New Tackan Elementary School Playground Opens

Tackan Elementary School students officially got into the swing at their new playground recently.

With the temperature reaching the upper-40s and the sun brightly shining with no wind, Barbara Beard and Kelly Bennis’ third grade students became the first of several classes to use the new playground throughout the school day.

Students shouted, “I’m so excited!” and, “This

is so cool!” and, “It’s like a wild carnival ride!” as they approached and then began using the state-ofthe-art new playground.

The playground includes eight swings, a pair of slides and several other climbing structures. One swing even resembles a car seat for those who may have accessibility issues with a traditional playground swing.

Staff, including the entire group of cafeteria

workers, were so excited by the Tackan addition, they posed for photos on Day 1 of its use.

The playground is part of Director of Facilities Daniel Leddy and the Smithtown Central School District’s ongoing project to try to introduce one new playground annually around the district, provided the budget continues to allow it.

SUFFOLK ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 2, 2022 - FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Start Making Lists

Make lists regarding which foods you plan to cook, what you need to buy, who you plan to invite, and any other details that are floating around in your head. Getting things on paper and checking off the list can help keep things moving.

Have A Seating Plan

Have ample seating available and consider assigning seats at formal affairs so guests can sit next to friends or like-minded fellow invitees.

Do As Much You Can In Advance

When hosting at home, spend the day prior to the party getting the house in order and making any food if the party will not be catered. If it will be catered, confirm with the catering company the delivery time and firm up any other details.

You’ll be far less frazzled if you space out your tasks than trying to squeeze them in a few hours before guests arrive.

Expect Early/Late Arrivals

Some people just aren’t punctual. Some may leave home too early and arrive well before the party starts, while others think “fashionably late” is showing up long after the party starts. Have some easy-to-grab snacks so that early and late guests can munch while you finish your tasks.

Stick To What You Know

A dinner party or other event may not be the best time to get creative. Lean on recipes you’ve made before and can guarantee correct timing and flavor.

Spread Out Foods And Beverages

Guests tend to bottleneck around the goodies. Ensure mingling and avoid traffic jams by having drinks and snacks in different locations.

These are just a handful of ways hosts can throw memorable parties where everyone has a good time.

Emergency Preparedness Program Legislators Rob Trotta and Stephanie Bontempi invite the public to join them at a free, public information meeting at the Northport Public Library on February 3 at 7pm, where Ken Kutner, Community Emergency Evacuation Coordinator for the Suffolk County Office of Emergency Management discusses potential hazards that residents should be aware of and how to best prepare for all types of emergencies. He will also address programs that Suffolk County offers to keep residents informed

and safe, including Smart911 and Suffolk Alert. Mr. Kutner is also a volunteer with the East Northport Fire Department and its former chief.

“As Chair of the Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical Services & Preparedness Committee, I am pleased to bring this program to our residents to ensure that they know how to prepare, plan and respond in an emergency or hazardous situation,” said Legislator Rob Trotta, who is a retired Suffolk County Police Detective.

Legislator Bontempi added, “As recent events

have demonstrated, being prepared for a variety of emergency situations should be a priority for everyone.

Having the opportunity to get some helpful tips from a preparedness expert is a great first step towards achieving a more secure future.”

This is an in-person event so the library requires masks be worn.

You may register by calling the library at 631-261-6930 or online at the library’s website: www.nenpl.org.

The Northport Library is located at 151 Laurel Avenue in Northport.

Your Guide To Hosting An Elegant Dinner Party

and small receptacles for housing garnishes, such as lemon slices or maraschino cherries.

Hosting at home requires attention to detail.

Choosing the right accessories and accoutrements is part of setting a formal dinner party scene and creating an inviting atmosphere. The following approach can serve as a guide for men and women as they prepare to host a formal dinner party.

Practice A Proper Table Setting

The art of a properly set table may have fallen out of favor, but it’s one thing that may impress your guests the most. You’ll need specific settings for formal events, and there are plenty of online tutorials offering advice from etiquette experts. Invest in a new tablecloth to serve as an impressive base for the beautiful table settings.

Send Proper Invitations

While many people have grown accustomed to the convenience of evites, nothing conveys the formality of an event better than a traditional paper invitation.

Find invitations that match the tone of your dinner party, whether semiformal or formal. This will help set the tone and let guests know what to wear.

Assess Your Serviceware

SUFFOLK ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 2, 2022 - FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Take inventory of the types of dishes, glasses, silverware, and serving platters you have. If items don’t match or you do not have enough matching items for all guests, consider purchasing or renting items so everything matches. Plan ahead so you have enough dishes for the courses you will be serving without having to wash items in between.

Limit Your Courses

It is better to do one or two courses very well than stretch yourself thin trying to impress guests with a multitude of courses. Choose dishes that you’ve made before and have had success with. Avoid foods that

Set Up A Fresh Flower Arrangement

Whether you prefer a large table centerpiece or smaller bud vases all along the table, fresh flowers add appeal and aroma to a space. Think about complementary flowers in the living room or in the require major preparation or attention while guests restroom as well. Flowers are an added touch to are present. make formal dinner parties more special.

Know Your Bar Needs

Different drinks call for different glasses and tools for preparation. Therefore, offer a few signature drinks and stock the items that will be needed for them. Red and white wine glasses, coupe glasses, martini glasses, single rocks glasses, and double oldfashioned glasses are some of the most common to have on hand. You’ll need stirrers, cocktail shakers

Purchase A Sensational Sweet

End the meal with a special dessert. Find those singular places in the town or city where you live that are known for their desserts. Intricately decorated cakes or pastries will have a wow factor.

Attention to detail and thorough planning are keys to hosting elaborate dinner parties.

Each scholar receives a $2,000 award with an additional $2,000 going to his or her respective school, resulting in $1.2 million in total scholar awards from Regeneron.

Scholars were chosen based on their exceptional research

SOYOUN “ASHLEY” MOON skills, commitment to academics, innovative thinking and promise as scientists—as evidenced through the submission of original independent research projects and essays.

Ashley’s research project on animal science is titled Exploring Sexual Dimorphism and Sex

Hormone Receptor Expression in the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis (BNST) in the Monogamous Prairie Vole. Ashley completed the research for her project at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

Ashley’s dedication to science is demonstrated by her enrollment in two different Science Research classes, while maintaining academic leadership status in a rigorous IB Diploma curriculum.

She balances her studies with community service work, being a varsity level athlete, and serving as editor of the school newspaper. Ashley plans to continue her interest in science, particularly environmental science, as she begins her college career.

Fifth grade students at Burr Intermediate School in the Commack School District traded their way into $9,000 of earnings in a competitive Stock Market Game. Students in The Burr Stock Market Club comprising team four—Anthony Cavallo, Armin Ajan, and Luke Carbone—finished in 2nd place for their region in the Stock Market Game, earning nearly $9,000 in just ten weeks. At that rate, their annual return on investment was nearly 50 percent.

The Burr Stock Market Club started over 20 years ago as part of a local competition sponsored by the SIFMA Foundation.

Fifth graders compete with other students throughout New York. The game is so effective because it uses a computer simulation that mirrors the activity of the New York Stock Exchange.

Each competing team receives an imaginary $100,000 of play money to invest in the market the same way traders at the NYSE would. An internetbased program enables each

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

The Rise Of The Microwedding

share their big day with their closest friends and family members.

The WPI has urged wedding planners to offer microwedding packages in an effort to capitalize on this emerging trend. Data from The Wedding Report indicated that the total number of weddings would rise to 2.77 million in 2021, an increase of roughly 650,000 over the yearly average. Even if only a fraction of couples who tie the knot in 2022 opt for a microwedding, a preexisting microwedding package can help wedding planners secure their business. Couples who opt for microweddings may do so to save money, but also to avoid the effort and save the time required to plan more lavish affairs. Such couples may be especially excited to work with wedding planners who can plan their weddings regardless of how small the Microweddings are not necessarily a affair may be. new trend, as couples have always had the option of getting married with only a small number of family and friends in attendance. However, microweddings Nothing should be off the table could be an emerging trend, and cost may have a lot to do with that. when planning a microwedding. The The Wedding Planner Institute notes fewer the people who will be there, that microweddings cost anywhere the more freedom planners and from $1,600 to $10,000, though the couples may have. The WPI notes that group notes that most microweddings microweddings afford planners and fall somewhere in the middle of couples the chance to get personal in that range. A 2020 survey from TD ways that may not be possible when Ameritrade found that 47 percent of organizing larger affairs. Planners respondents felt that cost of living was can focus on small details and allow the biggest threat to their financial couples to make their ceremonies security and long-term investments. and receptions as personal as they Engaged couples confronting the would like. Couples who prefer well-documented post-pandemic microweddings tend to emphasize increase in cost of living, including minimalism, so keeping things simple an unprecedented rise in housing is something to keep in mind when costs, could see expensive weddings planning microweddings.

Microweddings are an emerging as luxuries they simply can’t afford.

Microweddings could be viewed as a trend that make for a realistic option cost-effective way to combat the rising for couples and the people they hire to cost of living that still allows couples to help them plan their big day.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been far-reaching.

People from all walks of life have had to confront the pandemic and the changes it wrought, and many of those changes could have some staying power.

Wedding industry experts note that one of the more noticeable and potentially long-lasting effects of the pandemic has been the rise of microweddings. The 2020 Real Weddings Study (COVID-19 Edition) found that 58 percent of couples who planned to get married in 2020 ended up reducing their guest list by a significant percentage. The average reduction was 41 percent, and some suspect small ceremonies may be the new normal in the years ahead.

This is why the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women® movement, nationally sponsored by CVS Health, alongside National Wear Red Day Matching Sponsor Big Lots, and locally sponsored by our Life is Why sponsors Mount Sinai South Nassau and Petro Home Services and our Live Fierce Go Red sponsor Northwell Health, is asking women to make moves today to have healthier tomorrows.

The first Friday each February, American Heart Month, the nation comes together, igniting a wave of red from coast to coast. From landmarks to online communities, neighborhoods to news anchors, this annual groundswell unites millions of people for a common goal: the eradication of heart disease and stroke.

Through the Go Red for Women movement, the American Heart Association encourages people to take action in February by: • Wearing red on

National Wear Red Day, Friday, February 4, 2022, to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease. The iconic Red Dress pin and other apparel are available at ShopHeart.org.

• Making a donation to support the lifesaving work of the American Heart Association at WearRedDay. org. Big Lots and the Big Lots Foundation will match online donations on National Wear Red Day, up to $333,333.

• Visiting CVS Health and making a donation at the register. Donations can also be made online at www.

CVSHealth.com/GoRed. • Joining Research Goes Red, a joint collaboration between the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women and Verily’s Project Baseline to engage more women directly to participate in research.

• Joining the conversation by using #WearRedDay, #HeartMonth and #GoRedforWomen on social media.

We hope visitors will become familiar

with the organizations, visit some of their websites to learn more about how the Long Island Landscape might be affected by climate change and be encouraged to take action on climate change within their own lives. Many organizations are linked on our website exhibit page under What Can You Do link.
