Legislator Nick Caracappa Reminds Residents -“Be Pool Smart.”

Water safety should be a primary concern not just in the summer, but all year long. Being that it only takes a few inches of water for a child to drown, it is important for adults to be aware and remain updated on important water safety and its procedures to prevent drowning incidents from occurring. Suffolk County Legislator Nick Caracappa would like to provide the following recommendations to ensure a happy and safe summer for residents and their families. “Now that summer is in full swing, it is important for us all to remember these safety tips to prevent any unnecessary danger to children and adults alike,” stated Caracappa. The following tips are found on the cdc.gov website: Learn life-saving skills. Everyone should know the basics of swimming (floating,

moving through the water) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Fence it off. Install a four–sided isolation fence, with self– closing and self–latching gates, around backyard swimming pools. This can help keep children away from the area when they aren’t supposed to be swimming. Pool fences should completely separate the house and play area from the pool. Make life jackets a must. Make sure kids wear life jackets in and around natural bodies of water, such as lakes or the ocean, even if they know how to swim. Life jackets can be used in and around pools for weaker swimmers too. Be on the look out. When kids are in or near water (including bathtubs), closely supervise them at all times. Because drowning

happens quickly and quietly, adults watching kids in or near water should avoid distracting activities like playing cards, reading books, talking on the phone, and using alcohol or drugs. Legislator Caracappa is asking everyone to take the POOL SAFETY PLEDGE (found on the poolsafety. gov website): I pledge that I will... • Designate a water watcher every single time children in my care are in or near the water. • Make sure my kids know how to swim. • As a parent or guardian, learn CPR. • Always remove portable pool ladders when not in use. • Ensure all permanent pools have a proper fence and gate and safer drain covers. Have a great summer, and stay safe!

The food supply at food banks historically drops off in summertime. Coupled with the pandemic and its after-effects, replenishing the diminishing food supply at this time is even more urgent. Enter Power to Feed Long Island – a partnership between Island Harvest Food Bank and PSEG Long Island to rally the Long Island community to donate food to support neighbors facing food insecurity. Continuing through the end of September, there will be largescale collection drives at several local supermarkets, with a goal of restocking warehouse shelves with the equivalent of 21,000 nutritious meals (for 2021). At all locations, there will be a contactless drive-thru area, as well as collection bins, set up from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. as follows:

Smithtown Township Arts Council is pleased to present a Juried Fine Art Exhibition Visualizing the Past August 7 - September 5 at Mills Pond Gallery. The public is invited to an opening reception Saturday August 7 12:30-3:30 pm to meet the exhibiting artists and view their work. Information or directions m i l l s p o n d g a l l e r y. o r g or 631-862-6575. Mills Pond Gallery hours: Wednesdays through Fridays 10 am – 4 pm and Saturdays and Sundays 12 pm – 4 pm. Admission

to the Gallery is free. The gallery is located at 660 NY-25A, St. James, NY. All parking in rear lot off Mills Pond Rd. (directly across from 199 Mills Pond Rd.) Visualizing the Past Juror Carol Strickland called for artists to explore the role of remembrance. “The art to be shown sounds both comforting and discomfiting notes, ranging from joy to melancholy. Because they are the product of the artists’ thoughts as well as their emotions, viewers will find them compelling and moving.

Whether celebratory of past happiness or poignant evocations of loss, art gives visual expression to what would otherwise remain locked inside each individual.” The juror selected 52 works from 42 artists hailing from AZ, IL, MA, NJ, PA, and WA, NY. Long Island artists represent 24 communitiesBellmore, Brookhaven, Dix Hills, East Northport, Greenlawn, Greenvale, Holbrook, Huntington, Islip Terrace, Kings Park, Lindenhurst, Montauk, Nesconset, Northport, Poquott, Port

Presiding Officer Rob Calarco recently joined the U.S. Marine Corps, both Suffolk and Nassau County Elected Officials, local Chamber of Commerce leaders, merchants, and leadership from the Toys for Tots Non-Profit Public Charity to announce a new program called Toys for Tots 2.0. Toys for Tots has typically been launched in the colder months, but for the first time, the program will

be extended year-round to help families grappling with financial distress.This initiative has been of great importance to Presiding Officer Calarco, as his office led the charge during the 2020 holiday season, collecting roughly 110,000 toys from Suffolk County residents and generous Suffolk County employees. “The expansion of this program will ensure that less fortunate children receive toys not just during

the holiday season, but for their birthdays or on other significant milestones in their lives. Supporting our most vulnerable is not something that should be limited to a few months out of the year, and I am very proud to support this worthwhile effort that will bring joy to families in Suffolk County for years to come,” said Presiding Officer Calarco.

Protect Your Parks: 4 Ways To Keep Facilities Clean Parks have long been popular places to congregate. Facilities vary, but many parks offer various amenities — from walking or biking trails to dog runs to fitness areas. And while thousands of individuals and families visit parks each

year, when the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in early 2020, parks provided an escape for those who were unable to gather at indoor recreational facilities. Even though parks offered safe places to have fun outdoors when other options were limited, the pandemic affected the way the parks were managed due to budget cuts and reduced staff. This, coupled with a surge in visitors that continues today, only underscores the importance of all outdoor enthusiasts doing what they can to keep parks clean. The following are four effective strategies for individuals to keep parks clean. 1. Leave no trace According to National Geographic, Leave No Trace is a set of environmental ethics for interacting with the great outdoors. It follows guidelines for using parks in thoughtful, sustainable ways. In addition to carry in/carry out

policies for belongings and trash, Leave No Trace components involve making an effort not to disturb and plants and animals, hiking in appropriate areas, and using care when camping. More information about the Leave No Trace movement is available at https://lnt.org. 2. Manage pet waste The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that, in the United States, pet dogs produce more than eight billion pounds of feces each year, which equates to three-quarters of a pound per dog every day. Dog waste can contain bacteria and even cryptosporidium, a parasite that infects humans. Even though animal waste is organic, leaving it alone instead of picking it up can lead to environmental issues, including negative effects on local water supplies. It also smells bad and attracts flies and vermin. It’s important

for park visitors to pick up after their companion animals. 3. Reduce waste It can take roughly 450 years for a plastic water bottle to biodegrade. Even if they finally break down, bottles made from polyethylene terephalate (PET) can leave toxins in the soil and threaten fresh water. Use a reusable bottle instead of a single-use alternative when visiting the park. If plastic bottles must be used, be sure to place them in recycling containers around the park. 4. Volunteer Individuals can volunteer to pick up trash at their local parks. Various conservation groups and organizations organize trash pick-up events each year. Increased usage of parks means the potential for more trash and damage. Everyone can do his or her part to keep parks clean and enjoyable.

winner will be receiving a $1,000 credit towards their sessions at Breakthrough. The Second place winner will receive a $500 credit. Here’s the twist! Dr. Astarita will be selecting a group of clients to push in an adaptive stroller for certain legs of the run. This idea was inspired by the legendary Dick Hoyt, who competed in races with his son Rick over 32 times! She also invites anyone who wants to support this cause to run alongside her, ride in an adaptive tricycle, or just cheer her on from the sideline! Christine wants to bring the special needs community together to celebrate their resilience and prove their abilities, strength, growth, and ability to adapt. This past year has been challenging

for most people, especially this community. These families had to fight extra hard to get the equipment and care needed during the pandemic. Children’s norms got flipped upside down, forcing them to adapt and adjust. But they overcame the stormy season that was brought onto them, just like they always do. More often than not, it is a fight everyday for these families, regardless of a pandemic.

On Thursday, July 15th the Connetquot Coaches Association Basketball Camp ended session III of the revitalized summer camp experience. Each of the camp sessions included conditioning, individual and team skills, competitive, ageappropriate, challenges, and championship play. T-bird basketball coach Kyle Black and his staff inspired the district students with a program designed to improve

individual and team skills, while appreciating the value of teamwork. More than 60 students in grades 5 through 12 attended the three week morning sessions, leaving afternoons for beach and pool time with friends! Coach Black and his enthusiastic staff engaged the youngsters in a variety of dribbling, shooting, rebounding and defensive drills. Exercises were designed to provide students with the

opportunity to learn both basic and advanced skills to further their basketball playing ambitions, and learning to love the game! Coach Black encourages each of the students to continue working on their skills, and teamwork. These future ‘T-birds’ worked hard, made some new friends, and look forward to putting their newfound skills, and confidence, into practice this season.

AMVETS Post 48 Makes Donation To The USA Patriots To Assist Our Wounded Warriors

On July 17, AMVETS Post 48 Members attended a USA Patriots (formerly known as the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team) slow pitch softball game in Bayport, NY. AMVETS Post 48 wanted to make a donation to the USA Patriots in order to help with their mission of bringing like minded veteran amputees together to promote the benefits of inclusive sport and therapeutic recreational activities, to inspire and motivate communities of people, to support children with physical challenges, and to operate as a vehicle that offers

national opportunities for continued service to our country. The USA Patriots has been a registered nonprofit since 2011 after the need for continued rehabilitation options for our wounded warriors had begun to rise. Through the sport of slow pitch softball, the organization has grown in significant ways by providing athletic programming, youth program initiatives to teach the abilities of adaptive sport by our veterans, and to engage our veterans in communities to show off the abilities they now have as post trauma athletes.

The USA Patriots travels extensively to complete their mission therefore there is a need for travel and programmatic funding therefore it is crucial to maintain strong and consistent partners and sponsors to continue to maintain their mission, visions, goals and values. Anyone interested in learning more about the USA Patriots can contact Executive Director Desiree Ellison at 607-227-4480 or e-mail her at desiree@ thewwast.org or you can visit their website at www. usapatriotsathletics.org
