Make A Dining Room More Elegant For Entertaining

The kitchen may be the heart of a home, but when it comes to entertaining, a dining room — if one is present in a house — tends to be the prime gathering spot for meals.

Dining rooms may not be top on the list of spaces to renovate, as they tend to be used infrequently. But a dining room makeover may still be a worthy endeavor. Here are some simple ways to make the dining room more elegant and functional.

• Clear out the clutter. The first step toward improving a dining room eating area is to remove any extraneous items from the space. If the dining room table is not used very often, it likely will become a catch-all for other items, such as bills, newspapers, or kids’ homework. Rather than using the dining space as a makeshift office or homework station, invest in a rolling cart to store those papers and other items. Simply roll it into a closet or another room when it’s time to host a party.

• Hang a statement light. Few decorative items add as much drama and ambiance to a dining space as a new

aesthetic of a home. The light will be a focal point and instantly make the dining area more elegant. Install the light on

a dimmer to adjust the illumination as needed to set the mood.

• Invest in new linens. Purchase coordinating table linens that will be used for special occasions. A decorative table cloth or table runner coupled with cloth napkins and placemats helps to set the scene for the dinner party.

• Add a piece of artwork. Many modern homeowners have eschewed the China Cabinet that once was standard in dining rooms. Rather than a bulky piece of furniture, a large piece of statementmaking artwork or framed photos over a more minimalistic buffet table or small service bar is preferable. Choose artwork that complements the colors in the space.

• Include a centerpiece. Centerpieces add sophistication to the table and tie into the event. Floral arrangements, a bowl or basket of fruit, pine cones or greens from outdoors, or collectibles like shells in a tall canister can serve as centerpieces.

There are many simple ways to dress up dining spaces and make them more elegant.

Home improvement projects run the gamut from minor repairs to complete overhauls. Replacing exterior siding is one of the most significant home improvement projects homeowners can undertake. Such a project can give homes a completely new look, which is why the choice of siding is important.

Homeowners have many siding options, and the following guide can help them make the best choice for their homes.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is easily maintained and among the more budget-friendly siding options. According to the home improvement resource HomeAdvisor, vinyl siding is made from PVC plastic that does not rot or flake. Siding professionals

Options Abound When Shopping For Home Siding

note that the technology used to create vinyl siding has changed considerably in recent years, making this option more diverse than traditional vinyl siding. So homeowners turned off by the potentially plastic look of vinyl siding might be surprised at how different modern vinyl siding looks compared to the vinyl siding of yesteryear.

Fiber-Cement Siding

The home improvement television network HGTV notes that fibercement siding has grown in popularity among homeowners in recent years. This material does not require much maintenance and it’s nonflammable and resistant to termites. HomeAdvisor notes that fiber-cement siding can create the look of wood, stucco, or masonry,

making it a versatile option capable of creating various looks. In addition, fibercement siding is known for its durability, with some products coming with warranties lasting as long as 50 years.

Wood Siding

Homeowners have many choices if they prefer wood siding in their homes. Cedar, cypress, fir, pine, and spruce are just a handful of the many wood siding options homeowners can

choose from. HomeAdvisor notes that cedar shingle siding offers a natural look that blends well in wooded and waterfront landscapes. Wood clapboard siding is another popular option, though it tends to require more maintenance than cedar shingle siding. Homeowners who want wood siding should discuss their options with an experienced siding professional, as many factors, including the choice of wood, must be considered before making a final decision.

Stone And Stone-Veneer Siding

Many homeowners fall in love with the natural appeal of stone, but the price tag, which tends to be costly, may not be as awe-inspiring. HGTV notes that stone can be difficult

to add to an existing home, and doing so may drive the price up even further. Stone siding is durable, and there are many options, including solid stone and natural stone cladding, making this an option capable of providing an array of looks. Stone-veneer siding is less expensive than natural stone and also comes in an array of styles. As is the case with wood, stone siding options are so extensive that homeowners are urged to discuss each one with a siding professional before making their decisions.

These are just a handful of the many siding options homeowners can choose from. Siding can give homes a completely new look, making the choice of siding a significant decision worthy of careful consideration.

CHOOSE ANY DINNER

(StatePoint) Gardening is not only a means for beautifying outdoor spaces and growing delicious foods. According to those who spend significant time in the yard, getting outside can also support your wellbeing.

“Gardening is good for the mind, it’s good for the soul and it’s good for the body,” said legendary football coach, Vince Dooley. “I enjoy coming out to garden, and when I finish, I feel like I’ve done something, and I feel good.”

Landscape architect Doug Scott of Redeem Your Ground recently visited Dooley in Athens, Ga. to discuss gardening and mental health. Here are some of the insights they shared:

Health Benefits

• Active benefits: Gardening exercises the body and clears the mind.

Home & Garden Issue

Designing Your Garden For Better Mental Health

Studies show that increased outdoor exposure leads to fewer long-term health problems, helping improve cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, strength, and dexterity—all leading to better mental health. Simply planting, growing, harvesting and maintaining plants gives you a direct emotional boost. Why? Gardening helps foster nurturing instincts and restores a sense of hope and purpose, ultimately improving self-esteem.

• Passive benefits: Don’t have a green thumb? Don’t worry. Scientific evidence proves that just being in nature has positive impacts on stress levels and brain chemistry. It can also lower blood pressure, increase concentration and improve mood. What’s more, being outdoors offers a deeper sense of belonging and a

new sense of purpose outside the daily grind.

Designing Your Garden

Scott advises designing your garden to reflect how you want to live outside. He typically builds “rooms” connected by meandering paths for resting, unwinding, and feeling restored. However, your outdoor spaces don’t always need to be quiet. They can encourage activity as well. If you enjoy company, create gathering spaces. Or, if you have hobbies that can be done

outdoors like exercising, painting or writing, you can set aside areas for them.

Finally, Scott recommends designing your garden to awaken your five senses. Here’s how:

1. Sight: Choose calming colors, or those that bring you joy. The simple sight of a breathtaking array of plants or an arrangement of favorite flowers is bound to give your mental health a boost.

2. Taste: Growing your own food will provide you with an incredibly rewarding harvest. Not only will you be able to enhance meals with the fruits of your labor, you’ll get the personal satisfaction of a job well done.

3. Hearing: Among the plants and flowers, add fixtures, such as wind chimes and water features, that’ll produce soothing sounds. And with the new habitat you’ve created, you’ll enjoy bird song, too!

4. Touch: From the light, feathery textures of petals to the rough surfaces of bark or bush stems, touch offers a deeper sense of connection to nature.

5. Smell: You may already use aromatherapy indoors. Take this concept outside by growing fragrant flowers and herbs, so you can literally

“stop to smell the roses.”

Scott and Dooley offer more insights in “Garden Therapy,” a recent episode of “Done-In-A-Weekend Projects,” an original series from lawn care equipment manufacturer, Exmark. To watch the video, visit Backyard Life, which is part of a unique multimedia destination with a focus on helping homeowners make the most of outdoor spaces. There you can also download additional tips and view other Exmark Original Series videos.

By gardening, your mental health will be better off for it. Just be sure to start small, simple and stress-free.

Helping You Help Others

By Noelle Lambert

The Charity of the Month for September is Harmony Cafe

www.harmonycafeli.org

Harmony Cafe is a local nonprofit organization with a mission to empower people by providing wellness, education and access to affordable nutritious foods, in a socially engaging environment that creates healthy lives.

Rosemarie Mccarthy, the Founder of Harmony Cafe, grew up in a working-class family, where money was tight and food insecurity was sometimes a cause of stress. When she happened upon a mention of the One World Everyone Eats café model in a magazine, she went looking for a cafe to volunteer. This model goes off of the idea of a donation-based cafe that services a diverse socioeconomic range and providing nutritious and delicious meals. It sounded like something to which she wanted to donate her time and energy, but to her surprise, there was nowhere to volunteer in the Long Island region. With grit and determination, she decided to start Harmony Cafe right here on Long Island.

Right now they do not have their own physical cafe, however they have hosted meal events, primarily at the VFW hall on Edwards Street in Patchogue, NY. Their meal events use a Pay-What-You-Can pricing donation model, where anyone can come get a healthy fresh meal and pay only what they can.

When the global pandemic started affecting the Long Island community, the nonprofit organization redirected their mission to assist those in need. This included hosting food drives, grab-ngo sites and free food delivery services. Rosemarie’s vision for this organization is to have a storefront cafe.

Ideally, the cafe would be in or around Patchogue, NY and would

service anyone who walks through their doors. Harmony Cafe is actively looking for the right opportunity to make this happen. Whether you are a chef or someone that is looking for restaurant/cafe space and would like to partner with Harmony Cafe to share the space, or you are someone who knows of a storefront spot that would possibly work as a home for this cafe, please call 631.730.8775 or email info@harmonycafeli.org.

Additionally, volunteers are needed to help their organization continue to grow! You can join their Volunteer Team and help in the following areas:

• Coordinate Fundraisers

• Wellness Chefs

• Wellness Assistant / Instructor (Training Is Provided)

• Fresh Food Donations (Or Supermarket Gift Cards)

• Serve On Their Board Of Directors (Actively looking for a treasurer that has a background in finance or accounting. Retirees are encouraged to apply!)

• Community Outreach

Lastly, Harmony Cafe holds a Free Thanksgiving Dinner each year at Toast Coffeehouse in Patchogue. This year, it will be held on November 22 and there will be live music there as well! The organization is seeking sponsors to help support this great event. Last year the organization proudly served over 300 traditional Thanksgiving restaurant dinners to those in need.

For more information, please visit www.harmonycafeli.org.

If your nonprofit would like to be featured in this column, please call Noelle Lambert at 631.226.2636 x225 for consideration.

Babylon UFSD To Launch Citizens Advisory Committee

Group To Provide BOE Input On Social Emotional Learning And Student Safety

In an effort to maintain an open dialogue with the Babylon school community, the Babylon Union Free School District Board of Education is launching a citizens advisory committee. The focus of the group will be to gather input regarding student social emotional learning as well as student safety, and to relay it to the board.

“From day one this board has been committed to regaining the trust of the greater Babylon community and to continuing healthy and open conversations with the stakeholders in the district that make it such a special place for learning,” said Babylon BOE President Carol Dell’Erba. “As we finally make a full return to normalcy following years of pandemic, we hope to gather input on reducing student anxiety and to allay any and all student safety concerns. We vow to take all committee input seriously, and we hope to turn it into actionable policy that will enrich the lives of all in our schools.”

Commenting on the formation of a citizens advisory committee in the District, Interim Superintendent of Schools Brian Conboy noted, “I was presented with the

idea of a citizens advisory committee not long after coming on as interim superintendent for the District. I have worked with these types of committees in the past and believe they can be a useful avenue for gathering additional information from residents. I look forward to the ideas and recommendations this committee can provide in helping us optimize our efforts in the area of our students social-emotional health and wellbeing”

Applications to join the committee are now open. To fill out an application, please visit the Babylon UFSD website at: http:// www.babylon.k12.ny.us/Assets/News_ Documents/091322_CAC_Application. pdf?t=637986728095600000

Mindfulness & Spirituality Workshop Through Art For Breast Cancer Survivors Register By October 14

The Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Program is offering a free four-session creative arts workshop empowering breast cancer survivors to express themselves using art. This therapeutic program offers a safe place to communicate thoughts, feelings, concerns, problems, hopes and dreams. The professional staff guides participants through different exercises

and discussions helping to find ways to gain personal insight and develop new coping skills.

This Mindfulness & Spirituality Workshop helps participants stay focused and aware of the present moment while exploring the relationship between spirituality, healing and art.

This workshop will be facilitated by Angela M. Papalia, LMSW,

Assistant Director for the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program, along with Kimberly Newman, BFA, Communications and Marketing Coordinator for the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program.

The workshop will take place on four consecutive Thursdays—October 27, November 3, November 10 and November 17—from 10 am to 11:30 am.

All four sessions will

start with a relaxation/ breathing exercise. Then participants will complete several creative projects focusing on mindfulness & spirituality. These projects will help reduce negativity and will be self-soothing resulting in stress reduction.

Participants will need computer access with a camera, microphone, and internet. Each attendee will receive a package in

the mail containing: a printed packet outlining each session; printed sheets needed for activities; the zoom link for the workshop; and art supplies. Some additional everyday items will be needed. The packet will list everything needed for each session.

This workshop is free but registration is required and members must commit to attending

the entire four-weeksession. Registration ends on October 14.

The support group is sponsored due to generous funding from the Marilyn Lichtman Foundation and New York State.

For information, questions and to register, call Angela M. Papalia, LMSW at (516) 8774329 or email apapalia@ adelphi.edu

Options For Community Living Receives Support

From Bethpage Federal Credit Union

Nonprofit organizations are an integral force on Long Island, improving the quality of life for adults and children in our communities.

Partnerships take this impact one step further. Options for Community Living, Inc. (Options), a Long Island based not-for-profit human services organization, and Bethpage Federal Credit Union (BFCU), enjoy a partnership designed to strengthen the Long Island community through volunteerism, in-kind donations, board support, and grant funding. Partnership projects are designed to bridge the missions of both organizations.

As a major supporter of Long Island-based community programs for children, Bethpage Federal Credit Union donated 65 backpacks to families in Options programs. Each backpack was filled with supplies for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

“Every child deserves to start the school year with confidence”, said Robert Suarez, AVP of Community Development. “Starting the school year off with the appropriate supplies sets students up for success, empowers them, and fuels a love of learning.”

Additional support in the form of grant funding was awarded to Options through the Bethpage Cares Charitable Giving Program. A $15,000 grant award provides vital financial support for Options housing program for formerly homeless Long Islanders with disabilities and chronic illnesses. Last year, this program provided safe, stable, supportive housing for 200 adults and children.

“Our partnership with Bethpage Federal Credit Union is invaluable,” said Yolanda Robano-Gross, CEO, Options for Community Living, Inc. “Their

commitment to enriching the lives of Long Islanders is evident in everything they do. We could not be more grateful for their ongoing support.”

About Options for Community Living, Inc. Established in 1982, Options for Community Living, Inc. operates residential programs for adults recovering from mental illness, care coordination services for adults and children with chronic health conditions, and housing and services for homeless people with disabilities and/or HIV/AIDS. Options’ mission to assist people to live independently and with dignity in the community has grown through the years to serve more than 2,200 adults and children annually.
