IN THE NEWS Amityville resident Grace Hauck celebrates 105th Birthday

Amityville Village Mayor Dennis Siry and the Village Trustees recently recognized Amityville resident Grace Hauck on her 105th birthday with a special proclamation. Grace is pictured with her daughter Marjorie and with neighbors Bill and Diane Rein, APD, and quality of life officers Charlie Scudlo and Ken Jacobs. Trustee Owen E. Brooks, Jr. displayed his restored 1930s Ford for a bit of nostalgia.

Grace and her late husband, Raymond, owned West Amity Auto Parts for many years and she was an active member of the Amityville Garden Club, a master seamstress and professional secretary.

“She truly is a fine example of positivity and grace,” said Siry.

Amityville celebrates Arbor Day

The Village of Amityville celebrated Arbor Day Sat., April 27 with a ceremonial tree planting at Peterkin Park.

Arbor Day kicks off the revitalization of the Village’s street tree planting program, to start the replacement of trees in the right of way that have been lost over the years to age, disease, weather-related events or vehicle accidents.

The first group of street trees to be planted in the coming months will be on the north side of Oak Street, to

replace trees removed during Suffolk County’s repaving and re-engineering of the road several years ago.

In 2023, Amityville once again earned the distinction of being a Tree City USA municipality for its commitment to fostering trees throughout the village.

This past year, street trees were planted at the new Avalon Bay housing development on Louden Avenue and Broadway, and newly planted trees were a focal point of gardens established at the Amityville LIRR station parking lot.

Shown in photo are Corinne Budde, chairperson of the ParkCommission; Lynn Aledxander, Patricia Cahyaney, Trustees Keving Smith, Michael O’Neill and Roger Smith, Jane Margeson, Wendy O’Neill and Mayor Dennis Siry.

Richner Communications acquires CJ Publishers Amityville Record, Babylon Beacon and Massapequa Post join Herald Community Media STAFF REPORT: Richner Communications, Inc. — Long Island’s largest publisher of local media — has acquired the Amityville Record, Babylon Beacon, Massapequa Post and Beacon Smart Shopper, from CJ Publishers Inc. These brands join family-owned Richner Communications, which now owns and publishes 27 community-focused hyperlocal newspapers through its Herald Community Media division, which serves large parts of Nassau County, as well as parts of New York City through the Pulitzer Prize-winning Riverdale Press in the Bronx, and The Jewish Star, which serves the Orthodox Jewish communities throughout the region.

The Amityville Record, Babylon Beacon and Massapequa Post date back to 1904, 1966 and 1951, respectively. Today, they serve the communities of the Village of Amityville, North Amityville, Village of Babylon, North Babylon, West Babylon, Copiague, Deer Park, West Islip, Lindenhurst, South Farmingdale, Massapequa, Massapequa Park, Plainedge and Seaford.

Carolyn James, owner of CJ Publishers with her husband, Al, expressed a mix of emotions in announcing the sale. James says she trusts the sale will be seamless with careful stewardship, allowing the newspapers to remain “steadfast pillars within their communities under new guardianship.”

“In the pages of the June 19, 1991, editions of the Amityville Record, Babylon Beacon and Massapequa Post, we embarked on a journey, pledging to carry forth the legacy of those who came before us,” wrote James in a note to readers

last week. “Now, nearly 32 years later, we stand on the precipice of change as Herald Community Newspapers — a stalwart in Nassau County’s weekly news landscape — assumes ownership of our beloved papers.”

The Richner and James families have a longstanding relationship. Richner Printing has printed the CJ newspapers for years and also prints other daily and weekly newspapers, specialty publications and newsletters throughout the tri-state region, as well as general, high-volume commercial printing and mailing.

Like CJ Publications, Richner Communications is a proud family-owned business. Founded by Robert and Edith Richner in 1964, the company is today led by their son, Stuart Richner.

"We are excited to continue the great work of Carolyn, Al and their team, to ensure that the Amityville, Babylon and Massapequa communities have the critical news necessary to remain vibrant places to live and work," Richner said.

"Our company believes deeply in the importance of local journalism, and we look forward to introducing ourselves to our new readers."

Carolyn James will assume the role of associate publisher at Richner Communications and will continue to oversee the four publications. The (516) 798-5100 phone number of CJ Publishers will remain the same, as will the newspapers’ websites of AmityvilleRecord.com, BabylonBeacon.com and MassapequaPost.com.

James' email address is now cjames@liherald. com.

CSD 2nd graders show off their green thumbs

Second graders in Ms. Kelly’s class at Deauville Gardens East Elementary School in the Copiague School District are showing off their green thumbs as they grow plants from bulbs. One bulb was placed in water so students could observe the root system.

The other bulb was planted in soil. They learned that both bulbs need water and sunlight to grow. During the last three weeks of this lesson, the students observed the leaves and stems growing toward the sunlight coming in from the window.

NYS Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean-Pierre brings home services for veterans

NYS Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean-Pierre (D-Babylon) announced that the 2024-25 enacted state budget she helped pass includes several victories for veterans’ programs and services.

“To pay our respect and give veterans the support they need, I helped fund numerous programs in this year’s state budget,” said Jean-Pierre. “As chair of the Assembly’s Veterans Affairs Committee, I fought to ensure our service members’ brave sacrifices to protect our nation do not go unnoticed. We must stand up for veterans at home just as they stand up for us abroad, and the state budget provides that commitment to them.”

The state budget provides $8 million to the Dwyer Peer-to-Peer Veteran’s Support Program, which assists veterans who have PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. The Long Island State Veterans Home is receiving $165,000 to support its skilled nursing care, adult day health care and short-term rehabilitation services by allowing recent graduates with an associate degree in nursing to earn their bachelor’s degree while working at the veterans’ home. Other significant allocations include $4 million in capital funding and $900,000 in federal funding for the State Veterans’ Cemetery. Lastly, there is $500,000 included to assist homeless veterans.

NYS Assemblywoman In addition, Jean- Kimberly Jean-Pierre Pierre also secured several other wins for veterans in this year’s budget, including: •$720,000 for the New York State Defenders Association Veterans Defense Program •$325,000 for Clear Path for Veterans, a non-profit community center providing veterans and their families with necessary resources •$300,000 for Helmets to Hardhats, to help veterans transition into the civilian workforce by gaining meaningful employment with building and trades unions.

•$200,000 for SAGE Veteran’s Project (Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders) to establish a comprehensive legal and wraparound service programs for New York State’s LGBT elder veterans.

•$200,000 for Legal Services NYC: Veterans Justice Project •$125,000 for the Department of New York Veterans of Foreign Wars of United States •$100,000 for veterans’ burial services •$100,000 for Vietnam Veterans of America, to help Vietnam-era veterans and their families •$250,000 for Justice for Heroes which provides funding for law schools across the state to assist veterans, service members, and their family members with previously unmet legal needs.

EDITORIAL

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS: By Kevin Eastwood

Hats off to all those who have earned their degrees and diplomas This week, countless colleges celebrated their graduation ceremonies, where proud students, their families, and their teachers gathered to honor the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. This moment marks not just an end, but a profound new beginning for these graduates. It is a time to reflect on the knowledge gained and to gaze ahead at the boundless possibilities the future holds.

For some, this milestone signifies the start of further academic pursuits, while others will embark on their professional journeys, armed with newfound skills and confidence. Those who continue their education do so with the assurance that they have the capability

to thrive both in the classroom and beyond.

Achieving this success has not come without significant effort and financial sacrifice. In our rapidly evolving world, education demands a dynamic and innovative mindset.

Across all fields—whether in education, law, psychology, medicine, engineering, or countless others—success awaits those who are ready to embrace the future's opportunities and challenges.

To the students who have earned their college degrees, and to those about to receive their high school and technical diplomas, we extend our heartfelt congratulations. You did it!

o

The glorious month of May—soak it in before it's gone

By Glenn Molette This wonderful month will be over soon, but there is much to note about May. Mother’s Day, a day that has come and gone, is important to celebrate our moms. I remember my mother, who was so dear; I cherish those beautiful years. We take pictures, and they may eventually fade, but the memories and love we have for our mothers never disappear.

During May, we celebrate graduations as students of all ages move forward to the next level, always a joyous time. Most of America’s graduates want to celebrate their achievements, but sadly, some are missing that opportunity because a few people believe they have the right to disrupt these events.

May is a beautiful month as we also celebrate Memorial Day, recognizing and remembering the many who gave their all so that we can enjoy the freedoms in this great country. As we approach Memorial Day, let’s hope and

pray that our country can always seek peace and avoid the slaughter of our young men and women. Be kind and supportive of those you know in active service as they face many daily challenges.

May is a beautiful month because of all the green leaves on the trees and beautiful flowers. Take time to enjoy the landscape of May. Finally, May is a great month because the May primary is over. I’m sick and tired of political ads. Oh, I realize it’s not over. There is plenty more to come, but at least we have a short reprieve from the constant texts filled with political messages. I don’t know how they got my phone number, but I hear from everybody—from those who are running for President of the United States to local politicians to dog catchers.

So, for the rest of this beautiful month, embrace each day and the good people you know. June will soon come, and we will have long days and star-filled nights. But for

What families can do to honor fallen veterans The freedoms people living in the United States are afforded would not have been possible to provide if not for the brave efforts and undying commitment of the many individuals who have served in the nation’s armed forces. American military personnel have played vital roles in securing freedoms for their fellow citizens as well as individuals overseas.

Each year on the final Monday in May, the United States commemorates military personnel who lost their lives while serving in the armed forces. Those individuals made the ultimate sacrifice, and Memorial Day is a way to honor them and thank their families for their selfless acts. This Memorial Day, families can embrace various measures to honor fallen veterans.

• Visit a local veterans cemetery. The United Service Organization (USO) notes that most states have national veterans cemeteries. Though some veterans cemeteries are open only to family members of service personnel, others are open to the general public.

Visiting a veterans cemetery is a great way to honor

fallen military members and ensure the memory of their service and sacrifice is not forgotten on Memorial Day. • Celebrate veterans over Memorial Day weekend.

Memorial Day weekend is now synonymous with getaways and backyard barbecues. By taking time out during the weekend to honor fallen veterans, families can ensure the meaning behind the holiday is not lost in the midst of celebrations with family and friends.

Take time out during a family barbecue to discuss a family member who served or, if traveling, make an effort to visit a veterans memorial along your travel route.

• Help raise funds for veterans organizations. Fun runs or community Memorial Day walks may benefit

local veterans organizations that help service members in need. Many service members may need help dealing with the deaths of friends or family members who died while serving in the armed forces, and veterans organizations may provide such help or direct funds to groups that do. That makes participation in events that benefit veterans organizations a great way to honor current military personnel and those who have served in the past, including those who died in service of their country.

• Teach youngsters about the role of the armed forces. There’s a lot competing for the attention of today’s young people, and that can make it easy to overlook the very freedoms that make the United States such a unique country throughout world history. Parents and guardians can emphasize the role the armed forces play in procuring and protecting freedoms in the United States and emphasize the significance of the sacrifices of those who gave their lives to ensure a higher quality of life for all U.S. residents.

Memorial Day commemorates military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces. There is much families can do to ensure those sacrifices are never forgotten or taken for granted.

Interesting facts related to Memorial Day Memorial Day is celebrated annually on the last Monday of May across the United States. The proximity of Memorial Day to the summer solstice has led many to view the weekend preceding the holiday as the unofficial kickoff to summer. However, Memorial Day is about more than backyard barbecues and weekend getaways.

Memorial Day honors service members who died while serving in the United States military. Though Memorial Day traces its origins to the years following the American Civil War in the mid-nineteenth century, it did not become an official federal holiday until 1971. That’s one of just many interesting facts about Memorial Day that are worth noting as the United States prepares to commemorate the sacrifices of military personnel who died in service of the country.

• Memorial Day began as something of a grass roots movement. According to History.com, by the late 1860s individuals in towns across the war-ravaged United States began holding springtime tributes to soldiers who lost their lives during the American Civil War.

• Among the more notable postwar commemorations was one organized by former slaves in Charleston, South Carolina. That commemoration occurred less than a month after the Confederate forces surrendered in 1865. Despite that, History.com notes that in 1966 the federal government declared Waterloo, New York, the birthplace of Memorial Day. • Postwar commemorations also were organized by northern veterans of the Civil War. General John A. Logan, who led an organization of Union veterans, called for a nationwide day of remembrance in May 1868. General Logan referred to the holiday as Declaration Day and chose May 30 because it was not the anniversary of any specific battle and therefore unlikely to be viewed by some as controversial.

• Early commemorations of Decoration Day, which gradually came to be known as Memorial Day, initially honored only those soldiers who died during the American Civil War. However, that changed over time as American servicemen fought in various wars, including both World Wars, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, and other conflicts.

• The red poppy has become a symbol of Memorial Day. That red poppy can be traced to a poem by Canadian John McCrae, who served as a Lieutenant Colonel in World War I. “In Flanders Field” notes the red poppies that grew in fields where countless soldiers had been buried in modern-day Belgium. The poem was published in 1915, three years before the war ended. Sadly, McCrae himself was a casualty of the war, succumbing to pneumonia in France in 1918 while still in the service.

Memorial Day honors service personnel who lost their lives while serving in the U.S. military. The holiday’s inspiration and lengthy history merits consideration as the nation prepares to commemorate countless soldiers’ sacrifices once more.

“We found that a mutation in the POMC gene seems to make dogs hungrier. Affected dogs tend to overeat because they get hungry between meals more quickly than dogs without the mutation,” said Dr. Eleanor Raffan, a researcher in the University of Cambridge’s Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience who led the study.

But dogs with this genetic mutation lemon Beagle not only want to eat more, but also need fewer calories because they are not burning them off as fast.”

As part of the study published in the March 6 journal, Science Advances, the POMC mutation was found to alter a pathway in the dogs’ brains associated with body weight regulation. The mutation triggers a starvation signal that tells the dog’s body to increase food intake and conserve energy, despite this being unnecessary.

The researchers say owners can keep their Retrievers distracted from this constant hunger by spreading out each daily food ration, for example by using puzzle feeders or scattering the food around so it takes longer to eat.

In the study, 87 adult pet Labradors­—all a healthy weight or moderately overweight­—took part in several tests including the “sausage in a box” test. First, the dogs were given a can of dog food every 20 minutes until they chose not to eat any more. All ate lots of food, but the dogs with the POMC mutation did not eat more than those without it. This showed that they all feel full Betsywith a similar amount of food. heartworm Next, on a different day, the dogs were fed a standard amount of positive, needs breakfast.

When I look for an explanation, I see remarks like “Beagles have a strong sense of smell and an insatiable appetite, and will continue to eat past the point of being full; or “Research shows that the Beagle’s digestive system is constructed differently from that of other dogs or even humans. Our saliva begins the process of breaking down our food supply, thus converting it to easily accessible energy. However, a Beagle’s digestion begins when the food hits the stomach. Since it is a lengthier procedure for chewed food to travel through the esophagus for processing in the stomach, it takes more time for your Beagle to register that he is full and can cease eating.”

Interesting, but I wonder if there is something genetic about a Beagle’s bottomless pit of a stomach.

Officials join Island Harvest Food Bank In Support of Stamp Out Hunger

Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders Return to Oyster bay Oyster Bay Town, in partnership with the Friends of Sagamore Hill, announces a major historical re-enactment will take place on Sat., June 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders return to Oyster Bay. This free family-fun event will take place at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park.

“What better way to celebrate the American spirit in advance of Independence Day than seeing history come alive as the Rough Riders and Theodore Roosevelt visit the place he called home, the hamlet of Oyster Bay,” said Supervisor Joe Saladino. “This is a great opportunity for residents of all ages to step back in time and learn more about the Rough Riders, their skills and how they helped advance America’s profile around the globe.”

Performed by Boots and Saddles Productions and the Island Long Riders, this historical commemoration features: Photo Opportunities with Generals Theodore Roosevelt and Joseph Wheeler reenactors; Rough Riders on horses; shooting demonstrations by the Island Long Riders; saber performances by U.S. Cavalry Soldiers; historical encampment with canvas period tents and interpretive performances and live music.

“We are so pleased to partner with the Friends of Sagamore Hill to welcome home our most famous

resident, President Theodore Roosevelt, along with the Rough Riders,” said Town Clerk LaMarca. “Join us for this free family-fun day in Oyster Bay.” The Rough Riders was a nickname given to the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, one of three such regiments for the Spanish–American War and the only one to see combat. The U.S. had gone to war in opposition to Spanish colonial policies in Cuba, which was then torn by a rebellion. 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, a strong advocate for the Cuban War of Independence, helped attract skilled horsemen eager to see combat to the regiment. Known as “Roosevelt’s Rough Riders,” they are best remembered for their conduct during the Battle of San Juan Hill. Several days after the Battle, the Spanish fleet sailed from Cuba, and in only a few weeks an armistice ending the fighting was signed.

Despite the brevity of their service, the Rough Riders became legendary, thanks to Roosevelt’s writing his own history of the regiment and the silent film reenactments made years later. Colonel Roosevelt later became the 26th President of the United States of America. During his time in office, Roosevelt’s residence at Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay became known as the “Summer White House” and the focus of international attention.

Pictured are Assemblyman Durso (center) along with Randi Shubin Dresner. President and CEO of Island Harvest; S.C. Legs.

Jason Richberg and Rebecca Sanin and local volunteers.

Assemblyman Michael Durso recently joined Island Harvest Food Bank, the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), and the United States Postal Service in support of the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, the nation’s largest single day food collection campaign.

Long Island residents were encouraged to leave nonperishable food donations by their mailbox for their letter carrier to collect. All food collected in Nassau and Suffolk counties benefited Island Harvest by providing supplemental food support to more than 300,000 Long Islanders who face hunger and food insecurity, including nearly one-third of those who are children.

“Throughout these challenging times, Long Islanders have united to make sure those in need have enough food to eat.

It is a responsibility we share as a community,” said Durso. I would like to thank the USPS and our letter carriers for participating in this important campaign. And a special thanks to all the residents who donated food to help Stamp Out Hunger.”

All food collected will benefit Island Harvest Food Bank to help Long Islanders struggling to put food on their tables.
