High School on Dec. 3.

The Anil John Basketball Tournament honors threeyear varsity basketball player and IHS Class of 2015 graduate Anil John, who lost his life in a tragic accident in 2015.

After John’s death, his uniform number 22 was retired from the basketball program, and the team

collaborated with the Islip Booster Club to name the annual tournament in his memory.

The district congratulates Kaeli on this outstanding athletic accomplishment and wishes her continued success during the 2021 basketball season.

TORRES SIGNS WITH EAST STROUDSBURG - East Islip High School senior Jayson Torres signed a national letter of intent on Dec. 12 to play baseball for East Stroudsburg University. He plans to major in physical education and health education.

A three-year member of the Redmen varsity team, Torres is also a two-way player, serving both as pitcher and first baseman. During his junior year, he was awarded All-League honors and helped East Islip win the Suffolk County and Long Island championships. Photo courtesy of East Islip School District

Irene Cummings has seen a lot in her 100 years on this blue marble.

Cummings, who was born New Year’s Day, 1922, enjoyed a long marriage to Edward Cummings and together they raised three daughters and four sons.

Brooklynite Irene, who was working as a telephone operator for The New York Telephone Company in Manhattan, met Edward through his oldest brother, who thought they’d be a good match. Joe was right, as Irene and Edward, who married in 1943, were happily married for 63 years. Edward, a former U.S. Marine, also was a retired New York City Police officer. Irene, who for many years was a stayat-home mom, often joked that she couldn’t have raised four sons if she hadn’t had three daughters first, remembers youngest daughter Barbara Ruggiero of East Islip.

Irene never learned to drive, so Edward would drive her to work before they married and acted as her chauffeur throughout their marriage.

After retiring from the Police Department, he went to work for Pan Am and that’s when the family became world travelers, thanks to his job perk of free airline tickets for the whole family. “We all flew for free,” Ruggiero says.

Irene and Edward saw a lot of the world and were particularly fond of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Spain, Majorca and Russia, which they visited multiple times. In fact, they were among the first to visit Russia when it reopened to the world. It was their goal to see as much of the world as they could.

In between taking to the air, Irene worked at a children’s clothing store.

Edward often said she took her paycheck in clothing, bringing home gifts for her 24 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.

“They were the most beautiful clothing,” Ruggiero remembers. “But Dad never complained about taking her to work and picking her up. They had a great relationship. I remember her saying they were such good friends.”

The two eventually moved to Sarasota, Fla., where they lived for 18 years until Edward became sick with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The children, who all lived in New York, asked them to come back North so the children could assist with his care. He died in 2006.

Irene lived on her own until two years ago when walking became an issue after an adverse reaction to some medicine she was taking. She now is a long-term care patient at Momentum at South Bay for Rehabilitation and Nursing in East Islip.

Ruggiero says part of her mom’s secret to longevity is likely that she doesn’t worry much and never did.

“I remember when we’d go on vacation out to Shelter Island and some of us kids would go out on a boat all day and all she’d say is be home in time for dinner,” Ruggiero says. “That was one of the few things she was a stickler about, that we all ate meals together.”

sure all wishes are granted.

It is the most rewarding feeling in the world to put a smile on someone’s face when they are facing hardship. I’m so happy we can do what we do.”

Michele Stylianos, School Counselor and Homeless Liaison for the Brentwood School District, identified ten families she felt would benefit the most from participation.

Once identified, Stylianos worked with the families to create a list of gifts that she shared with Dawn, who often manages charitable events for the Widex team.

Stylianos says that many of the recipients end up homeless or in transitional housing situations due to a tragic event. Some experience financial hardship like eviction or losing their home to a fire, while others have dealt with the death of a loved

one.

Each family received items they needed like coats, clothing or shoes, and items they wanted — especially for the children — like toys and games.

“What Widex does for our community is huge,” Stylianos said. “They put so much heart into all the work they do with us. No one at Widex knows these families personally. They just see a wish or a need and they make it happen.

It really is a tribute to the type of organization they are.”

Widex hand-delivered the wrapped gifts to Stylianos. All items were then picked up or delivered to families by Stylianos in the days leading up to Christmas.

This effort follows a virtual school supply drive that Widex hosted for the district earlier this year.

LEGISLATOR TRISH BERGIN PRESENTS EAGLE SCOUT PROCLAMATION - Suffolk County Legislator Trish Bergin presented a Proclamation to Boy Scout, Neel I. Patel, of Troop 327. Patel reached the ultimate pinnacle in scouting; the “Eagle.”

Legislator Bergin was honored to commend and congratulate Neel, on this remarkable honor on Saturday, January 8, 2022, at St. Peter the Apostle Church in Islip Terrace.

Making A Difference With Bologna Sandwiches First grade students in Justin Lollo’s class at Wing Elementary School in the Islip School District took a bite out of hunger this holiday season by making 184 bologna sandwiches for Bethany House, a shelter in Bay Shore. Mr. Lollo has been hosting the community service project since 2018, and he happily reported that the students broke the old record by

making 47 additional sandwiches this year.

In addition to learning their core subjects, the first graders discussed and learned that there are people in the community who are struggling. “I want my students to realize that there are people who are less fortunate than we are, and they might find it difficult having enough money to obtain food,

clothing, etc.,” Mr. Lollo explained. “In preparing bologna sandwiches, students can feel a sense of giving and make a difference by supporting those who are less fortunate.”

Mr. Lollo also thanks Grilli’s Gourmet Deli and Catering for donating the bologna for the project.

Last month, hearing technology pioneer Widex USA worked with Long Island’s Brentwood School District to ensure the district’s families in need had gifts in time for Christmas.

Widex sponsored ten families through their “Wish Tree Drive.” They provided a “wish list” and company employees selected a family to buy for.

Overall, this was the third year the Hauppaugebased company supported Brentwood during the holiday season.

“We have established a wonderful relationship with this district and it’s a pleasure to be working with them again to help families and their children,” said Dawn Perry, Project Manager, Customer Experience at Widex USA and organizer of the drive.

PSEG Long Island Employees Spread Holiday Cheer

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JANUARY 19, 2022 - FEBRUARY 1, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Co-Workers Donate Toys And Send Cards To Neighbors Across Long Island

The holidays were a little brighter across Long Island, thanks to the generosity and thoughtfulness of PSEG Long Island employees. By participating in the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program, an employee-led toy drive and a holiday greeting card campaign, dozens of coworkers helped spread cheer and hope this holiday season for neighbors in need.

More than 120 co-workers fulfilled holiday wishes for 105 Suffolk County children enrolled in the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program.

From bikes, tablets and video games, to toys, dolls and action figures, several hundred gifts were donated in all. A handful of PSEG Long Island employees also helped distribute the goodies and load clients’ vehicles the week before Christmas at the Salvation Army’s Riverhead headquarters.

Here’s what some employees said about participating: “I am happy to carry on this tradition that my family started when I was a kid,” said Ashley Arndt of Dix Hills. “We always sponsored a family in need and it felt so good to support these sweet

boys and girls. I am thankful that PSEG Long Island is committed to supporting our community and helping our neighbors and friends. This company makes it easy to help so many diverse people across Long Island.”

“Being raised by a single mom of three children, I remember how important it was for my mom to have access to a program like this that would allow for a few more gifts to be put under the tree on Christmas morning, said Brittney Schmidt of Smithtown. “I am happy that now I’m able to give to other families. I am also grateful to work for a company that values the importance to giving back to our communities.”

“Participating in the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program over the years has always been a rewarding experience that brings to light the spirit of Christmas,” said Diane Finocchio of Farmingdale.

“I’ve been supporting the Angel Tree program since my start with PSEG Long Island,” said Krysten Acevedo of Center Moriches. “I do it because I hate the idea of a child waking up on Christmas

morning to nothing under their tree and wondering what it was they did to get on Santa’s naughty list.”

The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program serves Long Island children from newborn to 16 years old, and relies on the support of individual donors, companies and organizations to make lasting impressions by fulfilling the wish lists of children and families who might otherwise not receive gifts. During the past eight years, PSEG Long Island employees have donated presents to more than 1,200 families who live in the company’s service area.

It’s just one of the many ways in which the company gives back to the community.

An employee-led toy collection drive was also hosted. More than $1,600 in dolls, board games, electronic toys, trucks, gift cards and more were given to the following organizations to distribute to local children and their families: In Suffolk County: • Bellport Hagerman East Patchogue Alliance in Bellport • Family Service League in Mastic •First Presbyterian Church of Northport • Gerald Ryan Outreach Center in Wyandanch • Lighthouse Mission in Bellport • Sunshine Alternative

Education & Prevention Center in Port Jefferson Station In Nassau County: • Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence • Hempstead Hispanic Civic Association • Long Island Council of Churches in Freeport • Mary Brennan INN Soup Kitchen and Center for Transformative Change Resource Center in Hempstead • NAACP Hempstead Branch • Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church in Roosevelt • The United Methodist Church of Hempstead These agencies, along with several senior centers, assisted living homes and hospitals were also sent

holiday cheer in the form of greeting cards. Nearly 1,000 PSEG Long Island employees participated, offering their own personal holiday messages in the cards that featured the image of a snowy PSEG Long Island bucket truck. The cards were delivered along with candy canes, LED night lights or large print puzzle books to the organizations above, as well as the following: • The Bristal Assisted Living communities across the area • EAC Network Senior Community Service Center in North Merrick and distributed through the agency’s Meals on Wheels program • Glen Cove Senior Center • Glen Cove YMCA • Northport Veterans

Affairs Medical Center • The Northwell Health Orzac Center for Rehabilitation in Valley Stream • The Northwell Health Stern Family Center for Rehabilitation in Manhasset • The United Methodist Church of Hempstead • Huntington YMCA Along with providing safe, reliable power, community service is an important part of PSEG Long Island’s culture.

Employees demonstrate their care and support for their neighbors through many community service projects and activities throughout the year.

2nd Annual Winter Wonderland Throughout the month of December, the Office of Legislator Sam Gonzalez had been hard at work collecting toys for children the holiday season. On December 19th, Legislator Gonzalez celebrated his 2nd Annual WinterWonderland Drive Thru Giveaway. Over 2,000 toys were donated to children as they arrived at the office in their cars.

“I would like to thank everyone who donated to our holiday toy drive, as always our community goes above and beyond every time we ask them,”

said Legislator Gonzalez. “I love seeing all the smiling faces.”

During the Drive thru, the attendees enjoyed the decorations, lights, and elves as they gave away gifts that other local groups and organizations donated for families. The BHS Latinos in Action group donated jackets, gloves and hats, coloring books and school supplies.

In addition, Fidelis Health Care donated items such as hand sanitizers and facemasks to the families.

“We love supporting Legislator Gonzalez in

his community activities, because we always see the children smiling and enjoying the festivities,” said John Franco, Community Relations Specialist Fidelis Care.

Legislator Gonzalez recognizes that the year had been like no other. As the year is reflected upon, it cannot be argued that it has come with the cost of spreading families and livelihoods. Children, who are often an afterthought, have had to grow up in a new world. The holidays are often the only sense of normalcy they receive.

We can help!

If you are looking to upgrade your home, now is the best time to do it. You can save a ton of time & money by starting your next home remodeling project sooner rather than later. Prices for home remodeling products like windows, doors, siding, roofing, masnory, and more are continuing to increase monethly. Some of these products have increased over 50% the past year. If you start your project now, you will be able to save and lock in the current price of products before the next price increase. Not only are the prices of material increasing but so is the labor cost. Labor for home remodeling projects have seen increases of over 10% between 2019 and 2021. With all of this said, the sooner you are able to sign a contract for your next home remodeling project the better off you will be.

Signing a contract now can save your hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the porject. The other reason you want to start your home remodeling project as soon as possible is becuase of the delays in manufacturing. With the raw material shortage in the world right now, products are taking months to be made, shipped, and delievered. Some products have seen limitations placed on certain styles or colors in order for the manufacturer to increase production of supplies to meet the current demand.

Starting to decide on the specific style, colors, and materials you want for your project now is smart.

You want to make sure everything you want is available and placed to order as soon as possible to ensure your project is done in time for Spring.

Board Of Education Celebrates High School Success Stories

(StatePoint) If you haven’t visited your physician since the start of the pandemic, medical experts say that the time is now to book check-ups and screenings for the entire family.

“The pandemic has had wide-scale negative health consequences beyond COVID-19.

Many Americans have delayed important routine health services critical to keeping them healthy, including vital pediatric immunizations and preventive cancer screenings. Prevention is the best cure, so it’s important to get your health back on track today,” says Gerald E.

17

Why Now Is The Time To Schedule That Check-Up Or Screening Harmon, M.D., American Medical Association (AMA) president.

With the cool weather months ahead, the AMA urges Americans to call their physician’s office to learn if they are due for preventive care or screenings.

Kicking-Off The New Year Long Island’s ARGYLE THEATRE Will Present The World Premiere Of PUNK ROCK GIRL!

By Joe Iconis and Rob Rokicki, Directed/Choreographed Directed/Choreograph by Jennifer Werner Music Supervision by Geoffrey Ko, Musical Direction by Jennifer Peacock

January 20 – February 27, 2022

Long Island’s largest year-round professional theatrical venue, The Argyle Theatre (Mark and Dylan Perlman, Executive Producers & Managing Partners; Evan Pappas, Artistic Director), presents the World Premiere of PUNK ROCK GIRL with book and arrangements

by Tony-nominated Long Island Composer Joe Iconis (Broadway’s Be More Chill), arrangements and orchestrations by Rob Rokicki (Broadway’s The Lightning Thief), directed and choreographed

by Jennifer Werner Worldwide Associate for Book Of Mormon), and in partnership with Lively McCabe Entertainment.

It’s a new musical featuring a score of popular songs written and made famous by female artists and female-fronted bands including Blondie, Pat Benatar, Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, P!nk, Gwen Stefani, and more! 16-year-old Angela Quivers is a perfectionist who never takes chances and feels like there’s no place where she belongs … until she meets Proxi, a teenager who pulls her into a world of grungy guitars, shocking secrets, and big, loud, messy emotions. A musical about a young person finding a community and creating her tribe, PUNK ROCK GIRL is a noisy celebration of all things raw and ragged; trashy and heartfelt; familiar and alien.
