Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space.
(Cheers to that.)
Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways. For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month.
Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.

Artists Selected For Color Of L.I. Exhibit
Four students from West Islip School District have been chosen to have their artwork featured in the annual Colors of Long Island student art exhibition. These students
will have their work exhibited at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook.
Congratulations to first grader Matthew Romeo and fifth grader Breiann Dahling from Paul J.
Bellew Elementary School and fifth grader Stephanie Jimenez and fifth grader Giuliana Accomando from Oquenock Elementary School.
Are you looking to increase the value of your home?
If you are planning on selling your home, now is the best time to do so. Before you list your house on the market be sure to upgrade your home in order to get the highest price possible for your property. In order to get the most out of your sale you must invest some money into home upgrades. This will increase the curb appeal & the overall value of your property. There are plenty of low-cost upgrades that are affordable and will give you a high return on your investment. One of the main projects that will increase your home's curb appeal the most, with low initial investment, is a new entry door. The entry door of your home sets the tone for your entire house. It is one of the first features potential buyers see as they walk into your home. A beautiful new entry door will increase the value of your property dramatically. An initial investment of a few thousand dollars can bring you a return of up to 95%! This return is also true for replacement windows in your home. However, the upgrade that will give you the best return on your investment is the siding on your home. The siding on your home is the largest portion of your property and accounts for the majority of your home's exterior style. Replacing just the front siding on your home can increase the value of your property substantially. New siding on a property can bring in up to a 110% return on your investment! If you are looking to sell your house or just increase its value, upgrading your windows, doors, siding, and roofing will bring you the best return on your investment.

Helping You Help Others
By Noelle Lambert
The Charity of the Month for March is Canine Companions®
www.canine.org
Canine Companions is a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people by providing highly trained service dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. They proudly o er their support services free of charge to recipients.
Clients come to Canine Companions because of their reputation, the quality of their dogs, the experience of their training sta and the desire to lead a life with greater independence. The organization is proud to have various chapters and training centers across our nation, with their Northeast Region (Long Island Chapter) located right here on Long Island, in Medford.
Located at 286 Middle Island Rd in Medford, the Long Island Chapter works to raise awareness, recruit new puppy raisers and volunteers and support one another’s work on behalf of the Canine Companions’ mission. This Chapter is a lively network filled with opportunities for social engagement from puppy classes to fundraisers. Beyond the satisfaction of doing good work for Canine Companions, lifelong friendships are often formed among chapter members.
The benefits of having a service dog can be indescribable, often life-changing.
Canine Companions provides dogs for an array of disabilities; they o er service dogs for adults, children and veterans with a physical or auditory disability or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as professionals working in a health care, visitation, criminal justice or education settings. The organization typically places between 325 and 375 service dogs per year.
In recent years, Yucca, a Facility Dog, became a new furry member of the Phillips Avenue Elementary School in Riverhead, NY (placed by Canine Companions). She helps students learn responsibility, come out of their shell and even helps those that experience issues at home, such as past traumas or emotional/social issues.
“Having a dog there to just talk to or pet can really help the children,” explained teacher Emilee Raynor. “Yucca loves our
Long-Time Islip Resident Recognized For Keep Islip Clean Honor
students and they know she is not judging them, so they take more risks when working with her than with their peers.”
Yucca is incorporated into daily lessons, such as language practice, when students read to her and describe the commands Yucca is following. “I have already seen the huge impact that Facility Dog Yucca has made in the classroom. Students are so excited to come to class. They work hard for Yucca and understand their responsibilities.”
Yucca’s impact is among countless success stories. If you are looking to make a di erence, you can become a Puppy Raiser with the Long Island Chapter today. Canine Companions volunteer puppy raisers provide specially-bred puppies a safe home, take them to obedience classes, serve up a healthy diet, provide socialization opportunities and give lots of love.
Volunteers are warmly welcomed in other capacities as well, such as Front Desk Reception, General O ce Support, Puppy Transporter and Event Support, amongst other fields. Without loyal volunteers, this organization couldn’t fulfill their mission, so they are beyond grateful for each individual that gives their time and e orts to help.
To learn more about these opportunities, please visit www.canine.org or call 631.561.0200.
Legislator Steven J. Flotteron recognized Kay Erwood, Keep Islip Clean (KIC) Chairman Emeritus (one of the founding members) and Islip Commissioner, at their General Meeting in the Ballroom of Brookwood Hall in East Islip. Ms. Erwood has remained actively involved since KIC’s founding in 1989. She organized KIC’s inaugural Earth Day cleanup, which continues to this day as the upcoming 34th Annual Brook Street Wetlands Cleanup. One of her proudest achievements is the establishment of the Islip Middle School KIC Club. As students graduated Middle School, their interest continued and so the Islip High School KIC Club was established. Ms. Erwood mentored an Islip Middle School KIC Club student, who is now
the current Chairman of Keep Islip Clean. Another achievement was her work saving Islip Beach from development more than 20 years ago. She has also
been involved in the yearly beautification at the Beach, including the planting of 2,000 daffodil bulbs at the flag circle, pavilion and entry.
Messages Of Motivation And Inspiration At Beach Street
If your non-profit would like to be featured in this column,please email noellelambert@longislandmediagroup.com for consideration.
MESSAGES OF MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION - Rohan Murphy, American Paralympian, wrestler and motivational speaker, joined students at Beach Street Middle School in the West Islip School District on Feb. 17 for an assembly that delivered messages of positivity, hope and inspiration. Murphy spoke to students about some of the struggles he faced in life and offered them to take the opportunity to see the positive even during bad times. He hammered home the importance of going after what they want and being the best versions of themselves, while making no excuses in getting there. Photo courtesy of West Islip School District

Her role includes collaborating with five other Suffolk County school districts, their research teachers and students, and scientists at BNL to develop and carryout research projects.
This year, West Islip High School has seven seniors participating in the SPARK program. They are utilizing BNL’s National Synchrotron Light Source II to analyze microplastics found in river and bay sediments. A past project included the analysis of micrometeorite samples collected from the roof of West Islip High School. Kroll’s article, “Using Planetary Sciences for Early Engagement and Development of the Next Generation of STEM Professionals,” was copublished with the SPARK team at BNL. Kroll’s team was invited to present at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in March. The LPSC is a joint effort between the Lunar and Planetary Institute and NASA.
Kroll is recognized as a New York State Master Teacher. She also serves as the judge coordinator for Long Island Science Congress and is a member of the Scientific Review Committee for the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair. Photo courtesy of West Islip School District
Culinary Creations
CULINARY CREATIONS - The students in Ms. Linderman’s Building Your Tomorrow class at Udall Road Middle School in the West Islip School District learned the first steps of working together in a kitchen during a recent lesson. The students worked collaboratively in small groups to follow a recipe and measurements as they prepared chocolate covered pretzels. Building Your Tomorrow is an elective that provides students with the opportunity to gain the skills necessary to build a better tomorrow for themselves. Students will learn how to become independent through a personality assessment, career research, the job search process, financial literacy, as well as a unit in nutrition and cooking.

Two Young Men Honored For Raising Funds For Warrior Ranch Foundation
Legislator Steven J. Flotteron recognizes students Kieran Freelin, 9th grader and Matthew Levy, 8th grader in the Islip School District who held a handmade Christmas ornament drive raising $1,400 for Warrior Ranch Foundation in Calverton. The Foundation was established as a not-forprofit 501 © organization in 2016. Their passion for
horses, love of country, and appreciation of our nation’s Veterans were combined to bring forth this unique organization designed to help Veterans and rescue horses.
In the past, Warrior Ranch Foundation has helped many Veterans/ First Responders and saved several equine lives through interaction, enrichment and family day programs
with the horses. Services are provided at no cost to Veterans, first responders and their families. In order to grow and continue this unique and valued program, Warrior Ranch Foundation needs community support. Visit info@ warriorranchfoundation.org for more information.

All items collected will be donated to Baxter’s Pet Pantry, operated by Long Island Cares, which provides free pet food and pet supplies to pet-owning
families in need throughout Long Island.
“Our pets offer us unconditional love and companionship. However, for families on a tight budget, it can be a struggle to afford these extra costs,” said Durso. “Our annual pet food drive keeps pets healthy, safe, and at home with their family. I invite everyone to join our efforts to help our fury friends in need. Thank you for your continued support!” Donations can be dropped off at his district office located at 512 Park Boulevard in Massapequa Park or at various other locations throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
Donations are being collected at the following locations:
• Assemblyman Durso’s Office: 512 Park Boulevard, Massapequa Park, NY
• Petco 5500 Sunrise
