September 13, 2023 - September 26, 2023 Suffolk Zone 2

Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space.

(Cheers to that.)

Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways. For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month.

Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.

Local officials, community leaders, and a packed park filled with Lanieri family members and neighbors came together over Labor Day weekend to dedicate the playground & park at the former site of St Anthony’s School (aka San Remo Park & Playground) in memory of “John John” Lanieri. On Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 Supervisor Ed Wehrheim led the dedication ceremony together with Anthony Lanieri, with support from fellow local officials, members of the Parks Department & Public Safety. Approximately fifty members of the Lanieri family, the Vita family, and neighbors of the Kings Park community cut a ribbon commemorating the dedication in front of the new park sign.

“Kings Park is a special place to call home. We’re a very proud community, with a true appreciation for

Lanieri Park Dedication

our history and giving back to our hometown. The Lanieri family embodies these roots. Throughout all five generations, many have worked in public service, at the former hospital, or right here in local government. They’ve served our Country, volunteered as first responders, and contributed to the enrichment of our future generations. That tradition of service is at the very core of what makes this community so special. It’s a privilege to commemorate this special occasion here today… which I hope and believe will inspire future generations to follow in your footsteps.”

-Supervisor Ed Wehrheim

The Lanieri Family has a long history in the hamlet of Kings Park, with almost a century, and five generations of calling the Township of Smithtown home. In 1980, John Lanieri, fondly remembered as “John

John,” was struck and tragically killed by a drunk driver at the tender age of fifteen, in front of the old St. Anthony’s School. Years later, an attempt to rename the street “John’s Way” was never brought to fruition, when the old St. Anthony School was torn down, and eventually constructed into a residential development. The request to rededicate

the park where John and his siblings grew up playing was formalized by Anthony Lanieri earlier this year. In the request, Lanieri referenced his family members who had passed away before their time and how he dreamed of a place where the youngest generation; his first grandson, would come to play and learn all about his

legacy.

“It’s a great tribute to all of the Lanieri generations, past, present and future, for this to be happening today. Obviously we wouldn’t all be here today if not for my brother John. And I think he’s with us today, together with my son, and my father, smiling in celebration on this gorgeous sunny day.”

-Anthony Lanieri

Arrangements and logistics to facilitate the park rededication were orchestrated by Mitch Crowley, Director of Traffic Safety, Joe Arico, Director of Parks, Buildings & Grounds, Tom Heester, Assistant Town Park Maintenance Director, and Michael Grosskopf, Project Manager.

Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center Art Expression Program By ADRC Culminates In A Touching Art Exhibit In Honor Of World Alzheimer’s Day – September 21, 2023

The Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center (ADRC) is proud to announce an inspiring Art Exhibit in collaboration with the Islip Arts Council in Bay Shore, New York. Artwork will be showcased beginning September 18 –September 30 from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm. A reception recognizing the artists with their family members will be held on Thursday, September 21, 2023, at 1:00 pm at the Art Gallery located in the Westfield Shopping Center, Bay Shore, NY at the end by DICK’S Sporting Goods. This exhibition marks the culmination of a yearlong art program, for over 100 local artists, that has spanned multiple sites across Long Island.

The Art Expression Program, a cornerstone initiative of ADRC, has

provided a profound avenue for individuals to engage their minds through the transformative power of art. This innovative program has consistently aimed to achieve the following objectives:

• Facilitating Communication through Diverse Art Forms: Participants are encouraged to communicate their thoughts and emotions through a wide array of artistic mediums, fostering connections beyond words.

• Mind Stimulation through Creative Creation: The act of creation stimulates participants’ cognitive faculties, invigorating their mental capacities.

• Boosting Self-Esteem through Relational Bonds: The program has

nurtured self-esteem by fostering meaningful relationships and interactions within a supportive community.

• Celebrating Artistic Diversity: ADRC embraces and celebrates every artwork created by participants, recognizing the uniqueness and personal stories behind each piece.

In the eloquent words of Therapy Techniques Using the Creative Arts (2002), “The creative arts stimulate our senses, our bodies, our thoughts, and feelings. For a period, we transcend the bounds of time, space, and physical limitations. Outside our normal realm of existence, we are free to think, feel, and express what seems natural to us.”

Each artwork on

display carries the weight of unique memories, rekindling a tapestry of lived experiences.

ADRC is a grassroots 501c3 nonprofit organization that offers FREE services and programs to families throughout Long Island. Our mission is to provide care, support, and educational programs for families in need, and to be advocates for local families who are coping with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. All funds raised stay on Long Island. In 2022, ADRC served over 1000 families with care consultations, support groups, educational workshops, and therapy programs.

PSEG Long Island Provides Long Island Cares With Nearly $30,000

PSEG Long Island commends Long Island Cares, Inc. – the Harry Chapin Food Bank’s commitment to the environment for installing an electric vehicle (EV) charging station at its Hauppauge headquarters.

The food bank received rebates of $29,313 for installing a workplace electric vehicle charger with two ports, which will help it save money so it can support more families in need. The charger will power the organization’s growing EV fleet of vans and trucks, and allow employees and visitors to charge their EVs for free.

“PSEG Long Island applauds Long Island Cares for installing an EV charging station and purchasing EVs to replace some of its gas-powered

vehicles,” said Michael Voltz, director of Energy Efficiency and Renewables, PSEG Long Island. “These measures will help support the environment and also save the organization money. Hopefully it can also serve as a model for other organizations. We’re happy to support this wonderful philanthropic organization in more ways that help them provide food for our neighbors in need.”

“We’re extremely grateful to PSEG Long Island for its continued support of our work at the regional food bank,” said Paule Pachter, president and CEO of Long Island Cares, Inc. – The Harry Chapin Regional Food Bank. “They have been important partners in our efforts to address food

insecurity on Long Island by sponsoring several farmers market programs, generously donating energy efficient light bulbs to share with the many families and individuals that we assist, and by making it possible for us to install EV charging stations at our headquarters in Hauppauge. Through their generous support we can transition some of our gaspowered vehicles to more energy efficient EVs, which will enable Long Island Cares to save money that we can invest in feeding our neighbors in need.”
