Meadow Croft – Uncovering And Reclaiming History We Know The Land That Time Forgot. Welcome To The Land That Time Remembered! w w w. s u f f o l k c o u n t y n y. gov/Departments/Parks/ Historic-Sites/MeadowCroft The faithful stewards of the property, who’ve guided restoration and upkeep over the years, are the Bayport Blue Point Heritage Association.

BBPHA and its 300+ members was founded in 1983 to care for Meadow Croft. BBPHA President Mary Bailey recruited high school students from the Sayville High School History Club (Advisor: Susan Hart) as well as the SHS varsity softball (Coach: Tiffany Rowan) and football (Coach: Reade Sands) teams for the weekend effort. The plan is to restore the farm equipment for public display.

Meadow Croft is the charm jewel of Brown’s River on the Sayville/ Bayport border. Few rivers have a crown jewel let alone one so grand! The Hamptons before the Hamptons, the Sayville/ Bayport area was a resorter’s dream, home to three golf courses, a 600seat opera house, beach clubs and grand hotels.

Into this splendor is Meadow Croft. Legend has it that John Ellis Roosevelt built the Island’s very first built-in pool on the plush estate (where it still sits today).

BBPHA Treasurer John Amato captained the effort along with the petite but truly mighty BBPHA officer

Jen Tabat-Economos.

BBPHA officers Sandra Iden and Leanne Maher Berg were also on hand (as they often are) to rally the troops!

The Bayport Blue Point Heritage Association are paragons of hospitality.

They regularly team with other organizations and invited all willing volunteers to join this effort. BBPHA also hosts tours on Saturday and Sundays between 2-4pm from June through October. The monthly membership meetings are held from 2-4pm on

the forth Sunday of the Month, September through June, at the Bayport-Blue Point Library. They host guest speakers. And they

Fire Island Commences Search For New Superintendent The Fire Island School District Board of Education has commenced a search for the district’s next superintendent of schools, as current superintendent Loretta Ferraro has announced her intention to retire at the end of the 2021-2022 school year.

“Over the past 13 years,

Mrs. Ferraro has led our district with class and distinction, bringing about many important changes to our school community,” said Board of Education President Jay Lippert. “From her start as a classroom teacher to her rise as our district’s leader, Mrs. Ferraro’s tenure

in Fire Island has been unmatched. We thank her for her dedication and service to the district and the students of Woodhull School.”

The district has partnered with Eastern Suffolk BOCES to assist the board of education with the superintendent’s

search. It is anticipated that a new superintendent will be named in the coming months and be prepared to begin working in the district at the start of the 2022-2023 school year. Updates regarding the search will be provided to the community as they become finalized.

always, always, always welcome new members.

New member DJ Liam (so named because he got to pick the music) led one of

the teams this weekend!

To keep up on their work, see their website: https:// bayportbluepointheritage. org/.

Community Fair And Music Festival On Saturday, April 30th please join the Greater Middle Country Chamber of Commerce as they host Community Fair and Music Festival at 41 Horseblock Road in Centereach. The fun begins at 11am and runs

till 6pm. Rain or shine.

By James Bertsch On April 3rd, the Bayport Blue Point Heritage Association (BBPHA) welcomed teams of high school students to the land that time remembered.

That’s when Sayville High School students and BBPHA leaders and members teamed up to recover antique farm equipment on the Meadow Croft Estate. They also removed invasive vines from the towering trees on the grounds. Such work protects the structures (the mansion, carriage house and garage) from tree damage, as trees can’t handle the weight of vines in storms.

John Ellis Roosevelt, Teddy’s favorite cousin, started construction on Meadow Croft in 1897 under skilled architect of Sayville, I.H. Greene.

Back then, mansions like this colonial revival had names. Thanks to the genius of a World War II veteran and longtime volunteer fireman, Barney Loughlin, the home was saved from a planned fire training. Local Legislator and NYS Congressman Paul Harenberg and Peter Fox Cohalan stepped up to secure grants to restore this beautiful mansion to its all its splendor.

Behind Meadow Croft is Loughlin Vineyards, a family business still run by Barney’s family. Meadow Croft is also a Suffolk County Park. https://

congratulatory plaque by Principal Michael Moran and Director of Guidance Jessica Yawney-Kohler.

Both Stephanie and Ethan explained that the secret to their success on the exam was preparation.

Both students used the Khan Academy to practice prior to the test.

Stephanie, who acquired

a score of 1,510, is planning on attending MIT this fall where she will pursue a major in computer science and possibly a future career in artificial intelligence.

Ethan earned a score of 1,500 and would like to pursue biology. He has not yet committed to a college or university.

A Letter From Project9Line Dear supporters, The Department of Veterans Affairs is proposing changes to the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities specifically pertaining to the respiratory & auditory body systems as well as mental disorders. The “savings” from these proposed changes are projected at 100 Billion dollars over the next 10 years. That equals $100,000 directly from 1 Million Veterans pockets. The main conditions affected are Sleep Apnea, Tinnitus, and PTSD. We only have 1 week left to stop them. Please alert your network around the country to tell their local congressman that we do not want these changes made. Also, please tell your media contacts the same.

Together we can stop them but we must Act now.

The VA claims that they will not reduce any current Ratings but it is the VA’s regular practice to periodically reassess disabled veterans who have not sought an increase. If a reassessment occurs, it may be done under the new guidelines and the risk of reduction is most definitely present. This new rating schedule may effect every veteran past, present, and future.

The reason for the proposed sleep apnea changes is because many veterans who were exposed to burn pits and/or agent orange (both are dioxin) have developed the condition sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is extremely debilitating and can be fatal.

Currently, if a veteran is diagnosed with sleep apnea and is prescribed a CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure) machine they are entitled to 50% service connection.

Sleep apnea symptoms include; excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia), depression, anxiety, headaches, sexual disfunction, hight blood pressure, increased accidents, cardiac issues, loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, morning headache, difficulty staying asleep (insomnia), of inability to concentrate, irritability, snoring, restlessness while sleeping, waking up suddenly after gasping or choking, trouble concentrating, forgetfulness, or crankiness, constant need to go pee at night, night sweats as well as it can lead to a stroke.

The VA is proposing to eliminate

the 50% threshold verbiage that currently states “the veteran requires the use of a breathing assistance device, such as a CPAP machine” which entitles the veteran to 50% service connection. By removing this verbiage they will effectively eliminate any future applicants from getting the 50% rating for sleep apnea. The VA states “the basis for assignment of evaluation at all of these proposed levels will be the functional impairment caused by sleep apnea, not simply the method of treatment.” Also, the VA claims the “purpose of these changes is to update medical terminology, incorporate medical advances that have occurred since the last review, and provide well- defined criteria in accordance with actual clinical practice.” This is not so, It’s all about the money as shown through the VA projected savings in the VA economic impact study released on January 27, 2022.

From said VA economic impact study - “VALUE: VA has determined that there are costs and transfer savings associated with this rulemaking. The total transfers savings is $15 billion from FY 2022-2026 and $57.1 billion over a 10-year period from FY 2022-2031.” Most of that savings (40 Billion) is from the proposed sleep apnea ratings changes and Tinnitus removal (15 Billion).

The reason for the tinnitus changes is because almost everyone that has served has developed tinnitus.

Tinnitus is the most commonly service connected condition. Over 90% of Veteran applicants are granted service connection for tinnitus (over 2 million veterans are service connected for tinnitus) and are paid about $150 per month at the current rate. The VA is proposing to eliminate the 10% rating for tinnitus and combine the symptoms of tinnitus with hearing loss and rate it under hearing loss.

The issue is that the threshold for service connection for hearing loss is much more difficulty to achieve.

The result of this change will make it extremely difficult for veterans to be compensated for tinnitus and the constant ringing in the ears.

Also, in a separate simultaneous proposal, the VA is proposing to change the Rating Schedule for

mental health conditions. After review it seems that these changes may be beneficial to veterans but we should all be wary of assuming any benefit from these changes just yet.

The definition and interpretation of the new verbiage has yet to be played out. With an estimated savings of 45 Billion over the next 10 years, it appears that the veterans with mental health conditions could be paying the price.

Estimated savings based on the VA economic impact study of the proposed changes to the mental health verbiage within the ratings schedule. “Estimated impact: VA has

determined that there are costs and transfers associated with this rule making. The total budgetary impact is $18.3 billion from FT 2022-2026 and $45 billion over a 10-year period from FY 2022-2031.”

We can not let them make these changes. Please take the time to alert your fellow Americans, fellow veterans, elected officials, and media connections that we do not want these changes made.

Outdoor 1.5-Mile Stations Of The Cross Walking Service Returns To Catholic Cemeteries Of Long Island

Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island is welcoming back its annual tradition of in-person walking of the Stations of the Cross prayer services at the Cemetery of the Holy Rood in Westbury on one of the most solemn days of the Christian calendar during the 2022 Lenten season. One of the largest attended events for Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island, Catholic faithful across Long Island are invited to return and take part in the tradition of following a 1.5-mile walking route throughout Holy Rood to commemorate Christ’s redemptive sacrifice through 14 stations each year on Good Friday, which is April 15th this year.

Each station is signified by a different cross/sculpture at the cemetery. Deacons from Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island will assist in leading the service for attendees.

The Stations of the Cross walking services were cancelled each of the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, hundreds are expected to take part in the Good Friday services. Faithful can also experience Holy Rood’s Stations of the Cross on their own with self-directed tours or via a virtual option for those who wish to partake from their homes.

The Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island’s Virtual Stations of the Cross can be viewed by visiting YouTube at the following link: Virtual Stations of the Cross Video.

Faithful utilizing the self-directed option who are walking the Stations of the Cross on their own can download the Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island Stations of the Cross Prayer Booklet as a guide with specific prayers at each station: Stations of the Cross Prayers – Easy Print Format Stations of the Cross Prayers – Foldable Booklet Format Prayer booklets may also be picked up at Holy Rood Chapel. The Cemetery of the Holy Rood, located at 111 Old Country Road in Westbury, is open every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the Chapel closing at 4:30 p.m. daily.

“Due to restrictions relating to the pandemic over the past two years, we offered a virtual Stations of the Cross for those wishing to follow in the footsteps of Jesus during his journey to Calvary. It is necessary to offer families the opportunity to connect with our Lord’s sacrifice which leads to his triumph over death and the promise of eternal life. Our

in-person Stations of the Cross services – both guided with our deacons and selfdirected – are back for 2022 as we expect large numbers of faithful to attend,” said Richard Bie, President/CEO of Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island.

Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island owns and operates four cemeteries across Long Island including Cemetery of the Holy Rood in Westbury, Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Coram, Queen of All Saints Cemetery in Central Islip and Queen of Peace Cemetery in Old Westbury. Queen of Peace is the first new Catholic cemetery to open on Long Island in decades and its chapel is expect to completed by the summer of 2022.

Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island is dedicated to meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of the more than 1.4 million Catholics across the Diocese of Rockville Centre, which encompasses Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, NY. For more information about Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island, mass schedule and other important information, please visit www.CCLongIsland.org.

Volunteering is a great way for individuals to strengthen their communities, but it also can be a unique way for individuals to improve their own overall happiness. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies examined 70,000 participants, each of whom received

surveys that asked questions regarding their volunteering habits and mental health.The study found that, when compared to those who did not volunteer, people who had volunteered in the previous 12 months were more satisfied with their lives and gave their overall health higher ratings.

The frequency of giving back to one’s community also may affect just how much volunteering affects mental health.

Study participants who volunteered at least once per month rated their mental health even higher than those who volunteered but did so infrequently.

Cherokee Street Collects Socks For Ukraine And Local Organizations

SUFFOLK ZONE 4 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 13, 2022 - APRIL 26, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

What started as a Writers Workshop unit turned into a sock fundraiser for Cherokee Street Elementary School students in Karyn Goncalves’ and Melissa Comis’ third grade class.

The students collected 2,149 pair of new socks to give to the East Islip Ambulance Company, the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless and the citizens of Ukraine.

During the Writers Workshop lesson, the students listened to a

speech written by United Nations delegate Severn Cullis-Suzuki, a Canadian environmental activist who urges others to act with the future in mind.

The students modeled speeches after CullisSuzuki, persuading the school community to donate socks. During their research, the class had learned that the homeless are particularly in need warm socks.

To broaden their campaign, the students made posters for their

cause and placed bins around the school. They initially collected 1,149 pair of socks and then received a 1,000-sock donation from apparel company Bombas.

Ms. Goncalves said the students were excited that their cause received such traction in the community.

“Even though this cause is now finished, our ideas for giving back to the community are not over,” she said.

Hope for Youth www.hfyny.org Hope For Youth’s dedicated team of staff, volunteers and interns facilitates positive change in the lives of Long Island children, youth and families. The non-profit runs what they call a Kinship Caregiver Program, which helps create a better Long Island by offering a child a pathway to a better future.

Sadly, children may be removed from their homes for many reasons.

Nationally, the four key reasons are neglect, parental drug use, a caretaker’s inability to cope and physical abuse.

Equally as sad, Long Island, like many communities across the country, is in dire need of foster parents for children from birth to the age of 18, whether these caregivers have informal or formal custody of children.

Such care isn’t always provided by unrelated individuals. When provided by a relative, it’s called “kinship care.”

Kinship foster parents must provide full-time protection and nurturing of a child, as well as a stable and safe home.

They must be above the age of 21 and meet a number of additional eligibility requirements.

Families have access to such Hope For Youth services as mental health, ChildParent Psychotherapy, Children and Family Treatment Support Services and the Health Home program.

In addition, Hope For Youth partners with the “Parenting the Second Time Around” (PASTA) team from the Riverhead-based Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County to help grandparents navigate the educational, medical and legal systems to get the support and resources they need. Their experts assist with such challenges as discipline, child development, legal concerns and rebuilding a family.

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County also provides support groups for both adults and children, plus monthly social activities for families.

For more information about Hope For Youth’s Kinship Caregiver Program, contact Leslie Messeder at (631) 6915100 x6306 or email lmesseder@hfyny. org.

Hope For Youth’s Kinship Caregiver Program is designed to help and support this category of caregiver, bearing in mind that the courts are obliged to make every effort to reunite a child with a parent.

As a long-term objective, Hope For Youth’s Kinship Caregiver services focus on increasing the caregiver’s capacity to care for the children in their care, while easing the burden of “parenting.”

Edward J. Bosti Elementary School fifth grade students in the Connetquot Central School District received a lesson on internet safety from Suffolk County Police Officer Justin Fernandez as part of the districtwide Dignity for All Students Week. Throughout the week’s activities, students learned that by showing respect and dignity for others daily, they can spread more love, kindness and gratitude and create

a more peaceful world without conflict. This initiative also transferred to how students behave online, making sure they act respectfully and keep themselves safe from predators.

Officer Fernandez emphasized the importance of good decisions. He explained that applications like Snap Chat and Tik Tok are designed to be addicting and cautioned students to be careful not to expose themselves

to individuals looking to hack their information or prey on youngsters.

He also emphasized the importance of keeping a clean and respectful digital footprint, since nothing on the internet can be truly deleted. Officer Fernandez encouraged the students to not overshare, make their pages private, be mindful of the information shared, don’t be eager to post and keep followers low.

The Impact Of Volunteers Strong communities are able to thrive thanks to the efforts of their residents, including those who give up their free time to volunteer with local charitable organizations. Though the impact of volunteers is often seen through the lens of the projects they help to initiate and complete, there’s no denying just how valuable

volunteers are from an economic standpoint. In its 2018 “Volunteering in America Report,” AmeriCorps, an organization dedicated to strengthening communities and fostering civic engagement through service and volunteering, reported that Americans volunteered nearly 6.9 billion hours worth an estimated $167 billion in

2017. Volunteering figures to be even more valuable in the months and years ahead as towns, cities and countries look to recover from a global pandemic that claimed millions of lives and devastated economies big and small. As the world attempts to rebuild itself once the pandemic has ended, volunteers can play vital roles in reestablishing

their communities. In fact, many people have already made that recognition.

According to data from the professional social networking site LinkedIn, the site’s users had added more than 110,00 volunteer activities to their profiles between the early stages of the pandemic in 2020 and the end of summer 2020.

Have you been thinking about selling your home, but not sure where to start or what to do?

Let me introduce myself, my name is Natalie Affenita and I’m a local Real Estate Agent!

As an expert in real estate marketing, I will ensure the property is exposed to as many buyers as possible. This includes traditional marketing methods such as Open Houses and MLS listings along with Social Media Marketing and Syndication.

If you have been wanting to sell your home, now is the time to do it! Due to the volume of buyers and the low inventory of homes it has become a seller’s market producing multiple offers and fast sales. In today’s day and age your first showing will be an online viewing and your property needs to make an excellent first impression. Therefore, I offer professional photography at no additional cost to you. I will prepare a competitive market analysis and show you the recent homes sold as well as other homes for sale in your area. This analysis will also include the different features of the homes and my price recommendation for you to sell your home. I will also tour your home with you and make suggestions for repairs that will assist in a quicker sale of your home as well as suggestions for staging furniture or décor. Of course I will follow up with all prospects in a timely manner, coordinate showings and provide you with valuable feedback after showings. When an offer is received, I will then negotiate to the best of my ability for the highest price for you.

Please contact me to discuss the potential of listing your home!
