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.

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.

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MAY 11, 2022 - MAY 24, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

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.

ISLIP HS HONORS TOP 10% FOR ACADEMIC PROWESS - Islip High School recently recognized 22 exceptional seniors for placing in the top 10% of the Class of 2022. The students honored by administrators for their academic prowess included valedictorian Timothy Mak and salutatorian Anthony Lopez, along with Sarah Alvarez, Liam Biscari, Elizabeth Bryant, Jacqueline Bryant, Selina Chan, Bipro Dhar, Carolyn Do, Connor Edwards, Joyce Johnson, Hailey Kuo, Carlo Lanza, Juliana Marconi, Madeline Mulholland, Desiree Pagan, Justin Rhodes, Richard Rindos, Steven Schadt, Genna Schifter, Cassandra Zaneski and Abigail Zimmermann.

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.

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!

Safety First With DIY Electrical Work

H

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.

PERSONAL SAFETY LESSONS WITH MCGRUFF THE CRIME DOG McGruff the Crime Dog recently paid a visit to second graders at East Islip’s Timber Point Elementary School, presenting an interactive program that taught personal safety lessons. McGruff provided students with ways to recognize bullying behavior and how to effectively handle it. Stranger safety and how and where to get help when needed was also addressed.

• 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.

Meet Islip High School’s 2022 Valedictorian And Salutatorian

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MAY 11, 2022 - MAY 24, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Islip High School’s Class of 2022 valedictorian and salutatorian are Timothy Mak and Anthony Lopez, respectively. The pair are best friends and have supported each other in reaching this pinnacle of high school academic achievement.

Mak, who earned a 106.19 weighted GPA, serves as vice president of the school’s National Honor Society, president of the Interact Club and co-president of Mathletes.

An AP Scholar with Distinction, he also serves as a junior commissioner of Keep Islip Clean Club and plays on the school’s varsity tennis team. In

his spare time, Mak is a junior instructor and second-degree black belt in mixed martial arts. He has not yet decided which college he will attend, but plans to major in finance/ accounting.

“It’s been a lot of work since eighth grade,” Mak said. “Growing up with all my friends through this journey, and Anthony being my best friend since middle school, we worked together and through it, so it’s not really work. It’s doing something you enjoy and moving on to the next chapter of your life. I’m excited to see what the future holds for us.”

Lopez, who earned a

105.13 weighted GPA, serves as president of the school’s World Language Honor Society, captain of the Science Olympiad team and co-president of Mathletes. An AP Scholar with Distinction and Gates Scholarship finalist, he also works as a citizenship preparatory class coteacher for Pronto. Lopez will attend Princeton University, majoring in biochemistry.

“Throughout my years of high school, I’ve worked so hard, and it’s nice to finally see it all come to fruition,” Lopez said. “So here I am now at the end goal, and it’s nice to see what I have left in my future.”

Suffolk Officials Announce Second Annual Youth Week May 16-21

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

extraordinary community service will be honored in a virtual awards ceremony. To nominate a young person worthy of recognition, please visit https://bit. ly/3LF2I9Z. To register for the awards ceremony, please visit http://tinyurl. com/SCYouthAwards2022.

“Every day, whether it is through community service, recreational sports, various forms of art, or school clubs, our young people contribute to the vibrancy of our communities in innumerable ways,” said Suffolk County Executive Bellone. “Youth Week is designed to not only provide our youth with the tools they need to continue to succeed, but to also recognize and honor each and every one of them for their outstanding achievements, character, and leadership.”

“Implementing a ‘Youth Week’ into the county was an important step towards empowering today’s youth, they are the next generation of leaders,” said Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey. “The program allows youth to realize their potential in the workforce.”

A number of youth job fairs will be held across the county throughout the week, and Youth Week will conclude on Saturday, May 21 with a day of service clean up, during which young people will be invited to help clean up their communities by identifying an area in need of cleaning within their legislative district. To determine your legislative district and to contact your legislator, please visit https://scnylegislature.us.

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

Long Island Media Group • 631-226-2636 • info@longislandmediagroup.com • www.longislandmediagroup.com

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

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MAY 11, 2022 - MAY 24, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

YOU CAN WIN A $100 GIFT CARD!

Guide To Outdoor Lighting

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.

East Islip School-Business Partnership Holds Inaugural STEAM Day

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MAY 11, 2022 - MAY 24, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

The East Islip SchoolBusiness Partnership held its inaugural STEAM Day in the district’s Early Childhood Center on April 8, attended by hundreds of second and fourth grade students and facilitated by middle and high school students.

“STEAM Day was designed to give second and fourth grade students an experience that facilitated an interest into the study and possible careers in science, technology, engineering, art and

mathematics,” SchoolBusiness Partnership Coordinator Bridgette Lopiccolo said.

Students attended the event with their classroom teachers and explored robotics, played with art and technology manipulatives, tried their hands at building towers, learned about refraction through photography, watched a drone fly through the ECC, and so much more.

East Islip High School Robotics Club President

Zoe Elder assisted with the event as a facilitator.

“It’s important that the students attend this kind of event,” Elder said. “I got into STEAM because of an event like this when I was younger.”

After the students explored the available stations, they gathered to watch two short STEAM videos. There was also a main event, a robotics contest between two teams for all to witness and to pique the interests of the students even further.

Turn Your Yard Into A Vacation-Worthy Oasis

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. Vertical gardening, which oasis at home. trains easy-care vines like English ivy, Create living privacy Clematis or various climbing roses to Living in close proximity to neighbors grow on trellis or fencing adds greenery may make privacy harder to come by. and privacy.

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.

Extend the living space Install a pool Pools are the ultimate spots to cool off on hot days. An elaborately shaped inground pool can blend in with the landscape and offer the ultimate hangout zone. However, above-ground pools

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.

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.

Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk www.eoc-suffolk.com 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.

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.

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.

PSEG Long Island Reminds You To Call 811 Before You Dig

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.

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

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.

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.
