Amid rising incidents of drowning, Babylon Town focuses on water safety

By Christie Leigh Babirad

The Town of Babylon is raising awareness about water safety as summer arrives on Long Island. At a recent press conference this week, Babylon Town Councilman Terence McSweeney highlighted the alarming statistics: annually, 4,000 people die from drowning in the U.S., and 8,000 experience nonfatal water-related incidents.

McSweeney, who collaborates with Bobby Hazen, founder of End Drowning Now, emphasized the need for increased public awareness and education to prevent such tragedies, which have been on the rise since 2020. The increase is partly due to many post-pandemic pool installations without adequate safety training.

“As parents, we need to lead by example,” said Hazen who said that 55

percent of adults have never had swimming lessons. “It’s about education and how we can make a dent in these statistics because drowning is 100 percent preventable,” said Hazen. “It’s our job to educate families on what we can do.” Hazen outlined essential water safety measures, such as always designating a person to watch the water and have them wear a Water Watcher tag, knowing how to swim, wearing life jackets on boats, learning CPR, installing pool alarms, and ensuring pool areas have gates and safety fencing. Additionally, swimmers at the beach or public pools should always stay within sight of lifeguards. Hazen noted that 55% of adults have never had swimming lessons, emphasizing that teaching chil-

DessertTour

By Chris Cosci

It’s summer! Jackets have been stored away for the season, air conditioners are being pushed to the max, and beaches are swarming with sunbathers. The season also marks the return of one of my family’s favorite traditions: riding our bikes to find some of the best desserts in the area.

If you’re looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, you’ll find a host of amazing options throughout Babylon Village and the surrounding community. For over ten years, my family has made it a point to ride our bikes and enjoy dessert at a different location every Friday night throughout the summer–occasionally on Saturday, when our family schedule or the weather won’t cooperate.

We’ve been happy to share our experiences, and we

Megan has worked for Garvey Properties in Babylon Village for over 30 years as a commercial real estate manager. Proudly, she has two daughters that have recently graduated college and are working in their respective fields of study. She loves to play golf, Pilates reformer, kayak, garden and read.

The Nathaniel Conklin Award has been in place since 1990 and the awardees are selected by a committee of former recipients.

A private reception will take place in September at the Nathaniel Conklin House, Babylon.

encourage everyone to ride their own bikes, or even walk, drive, skateboard, or rollerblade, and support these local establishments.

This summer, we started off at Mario’s Pasticceria, located on East Main Street in Babylon. It may be small in size, but they pack in a lot of incredible Italian pastries and cookies in their shop. They offer cakes, pies, eclairs, tiramisu, and so much more.

Mario’s opened in 2017 under the ownership of Anthony Mistretta. The shop is named in honor of Mistretta’s grandfather. As Mistretta points out, “Grandpa did mostly bread back in the day,” leaving Mistretta to learn the art of making the pastries that tempt customers day in and day out. Mistretta honed his craft at pastry school in Manhattan. “It’s a lot of work, and a lot of trial and error,” Mistretta admits, but the results speak for themselves.

On our recent visit, we sampled a trio of flaky pastries–a raspberry cigar, a napoleon, and a lobster claw–as

Major Repairs Completed at Babylon Village’s iconic Church

Travelers entering Babylon Village from the east or west on Main Street during recent months must have noticed the huge scaffolding surrounding the front entrance and the steeple of the First Presbyterian Church. The top section of the 130-feet tall steeple initially was slightly damaged in a January storm.

Major damage was caused by the April storm which caused the top cone and weathervane on the steeple to lean south-west about 15 degrees. The storm dislocated several of the original pieces of timber of the base on which the top section of the steeple rested.

Sourcing a capable contractor to do the rather complicated repair took some time, said church officials, but eventually church officials selected Valley Restoration of Litchfield, Connecticut. This company sub-contracted the construction of the scaffolding, which was done by New England Scaffolding of Bloomfield, Connecticut.

The work started the later part of April and is expected to be completed by the end of June. Already the clear white steeple top looks beautiful again with the gold-colored weathervane on top which is back in perfect working condition.

Since the scaffolding made it easy to access all parts of the steeple, proper painting and complete inspections were done to make sure that this historical structure will be a treasure to the Village for a long time to come.

Also, the lights on the four corners of the steeple were updated through a generous gift to the church, so that even at night the church is a beacon for people approaching the Village of Babylon. Even for boaters on the Great South Bay it is a great beacon of direction.

The one difficult chore left now is how to pay for this repair, officials. Said. Although a large part of the cost will be covered by insurance, a considerable amount will be the responsibility for the church and its members. They are looking for assistance from the larger community in getting the funds together. Donations can be made by going to so by firstpresbabylon.org.

well as a star-shaped Linzer tart. Everything tasted great, making it a wonderful place to start this year’s tour.

When pressed for his personal favorite, Mistretta went with a classic: “I’ve always liked cannoli.” He’s not alone. Cannoli are certainly one of the most popular desserts at Mario’s. As Mistretta points out, “I’m always making them, and we’re always busy with them.”

Mistretta also recognizes that the standards are standards for a reason. “I’m just keeping up making the basic, old-fashioned traditional stuff. A simple apple turnover is good. For the summer months, the tres leche is excellent.” There’s something for everyone at Mario’s. We have a lot of summer left, and we look forward to more desserts, including cookies, ice cream, cakes, Italian ices, donuts, milkshakes… and now I’m getting hungry!

Naccarato retires after serving as Lindenhurst MS Principal for more than two decades

By Christie Leigh Babirad

It’s the day-to-day conversations with his students and staff, all of whom have become like family, that Frank D. Naccarato Jr. said he will miss the most as he retires as principal of Lindenhurst Middle School.

Naccarato has spent 21 years as principal of the middle school and 33 years in the school district and hired almost all of the staff who work there now.

Calling his departure “bittersweet,” Naccarato said what he will always remember the most is how everyone always pitched in.

“I will remember all of the events that happened here,” he said. “When we faced 9/11 and the flood of Superstorm Sandy, you saw firsthand how everyone in this community came together and did what they could to help each other.”

A graduate of SUNY Oswego, Naccarato began in Lindenhurst in 1991 as a technology teacher and said he had “fun” teaching students to use all the other subjects they learned in school “in a practical way.”

One of the highlights during his eight years as a technology teacher, he said, was building a fully electric car with his students and colleagues Brian Chamberlin, Lisa Nelson and John Mansfield. This was well before electric cars became the newest technology.

Naccarato then became Practical Arts chairperson for Lindenhurst, responsible for several departments that included Technology, Family and Consumer Science and Business and Computers, before getting his certification as a School District Administrator from Dowling College. After his certification, he began as

the assistant principal of the 8th grade at Lindenhurst Middle School.

“During this time, I had an amazing mentor, Mr. Carl Sanfilippo, who taught me everything about how to be a principal and what it took to be a leader,” said Naccarato.

After three years as an assistant, he was named principal.

“There is so much that I am proud of at Lindenhurst Middle School and one of those things is coining the phrase ‘Lindy Pride,’” he said. “Our students have pride in their school and their community, but most of all they should have pride in themselves.”

Naccarato said that he believes that Lindenhurst Middle School is “second to none.”

retired.

“Our students have so much choice and great teachers who prepare them for the move to the high school,” he added.

In his retirement, Naccarato said that he is looking forward to traveling with his wife, Danielle, and his

children, Noelle and Frankie. He is also looking forward to driving his Corvette more and indulging in his hobby of woodworking.

But that’s not before he took time to extend his gratitude to the Lindenhurst community and also give a special thank you to his head secretary, Christine Falco, who has been his secretary the entire time, calling her his “right hand.”

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with all the students and watching them grow during the often-toughest years for children,” said Naccarato, adding that he will probably see many of his students, their parents and friends when he gets his cannolis at Patsy’s, or has dinner at the Village Lantern, cocktails at Restoration, a slice of pizza at Villa’s or visits the many shops and restaurants in Lindenhurst that he loves.

“Thank you all so much for these years, and I wish this community the very best in the years to come,” Naccarato said.

dren to swim from a young age can lead to generational improvements in water safety knowledge. Eva Rodriguez, Deputy Commissioner of Parks and Recreation in the Town of Babylon, said that swimming lessons are available for all ages, from infants to adults, with over 2,000 people receiving lessons annually.

New York State Assemblyman Michael Durso also supports the initiative, sharing his personal connection as a parent of two young girls with a pool at home. He stressed the importance of vigilance and water safety education for families on Long Island, where pools and beaches are a significant part of life.

“Hopefully one day because we are taking more action now we will live in a world where there are no drownings,” said McSweeney.

Local lawmakers taking a serious approach to the rise in number of drownings

This week, a toddler was pulled unconscious from a pool in one of our communities. While the child is expected to survive, another child and a young man recently lost their lives in similar incidents.

Our communities are not alone in facing these tragedies. A new CDC study released last month shows that over 4,500 people died from drowning each year from 2020 to 2022—500 more per year compared to 2019.

CDC experts examined drowning deaths as as well as self-reported swimming skills, participation in swimming lessons, and exposure to recreational water in their latest Vital Signs report. The report underscores the importance of increased access to basic swimming and water safety training in saving lives.

"Over

4,500 people died from drowning each year from 2020 to 2022—500 more per year compared to 2019."

Officials in Babylon and Oyster Bay towns, as well as Nassau and Suffolk counties, have recognized this critical issue. They have held informational sessions and press conferences to raise public awareness.

Drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 1-4 in the United States. For adults, drug and alcohol use further increase the risk of drowning, especially in private home pools.

We commend our public officials for taking the lead on this issue and for their efforts to elevate public awareness. Their work is likely to save lives.

Beloved Farmingdale music director honored posthumously by BOCES

The Farmingdale School District recognized the late Gina R. Pellettiere as one of the most devoted supporters of public education on Long Island. Pellettiere is among 14 honorees to receive the 2024 Nassau BOCES Education Partner award, bestowed annually on those individuals and organizations that have had a profound effect on education in Nassau County.

Award-winning conductor, passionate musician and beloved educator Gina Pellettiere was honored posthumously at an awards gala held this Spring by the Nassau BOCES Educational Foundation. The Foundation is an independent non-profit organization that raises funds for innovative educational programs that fall outside of the agency’s budget.

Pellettiere was not only the Farmingdale High School Wind Ensemble and Marching Band Director, but she was also an exceptional mentor, a gifted musician, a dedicated colleague and a loyal friend. During her tenure at FHS, she more than doubled the size of the school music program, transforming it into one of the most impressive programs on Long Island.

Under Ms. Pellettiere’s direction, the FHS marching band has become the pride of the community, their halftime shows as responsible for packing the stands at Friday night football games as the championship Dalers themselves, said BOCES officials. She vastly improved the quality of the Farmingdale Wind Ensemble, which now performs at the highest levels at the annual New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) festival. To date, they have earned three Gold ratings and ten ratings of Gold

with Distinction.

Pellettiere was an active member of NYSSMA and the National Association for Music Education (NAFME). She has served as an officer in the Nassau Music Educators Affiliation, as chair of multiple all-county music festivals, and as a guest conductor for both Nassau and Suffolk all-county festivals. She sat on the board of directors of the Newsday Marching Band Committee, where she was instrumental in organizing the prestigious Annual Marching Band Fes -

“Gina Rose Pellettiere was a beloved figure in Farmingdale Schools, the loss of whom will affect the district, its educators and its students for years to come,” said Nassau BOCES Board President Susan Bergtraum at the awards ceremony. “Her infectious spirit and natural ability to bring people together earned her enormous respect among her students and colleagues. Gina’s devotion, love and loyalty were extraordinary. She was second to none, and her memory will forever be imprinted on the hearts of every Daler whose life she touched.”

Pellettiere was revered by her students and colleagues alike, serving as a mentor to new teachers

and as lead teacher for the entire music department. She was a fixture at school sporting events, pep rallies, concerts, honor society inductions, and musicals.

“Gina Pellettiere is, and always will be, a huge part of why I am a musician and music educator today,” said former music student John Luther. “I hope that one day my students look back at their time with me and feel the gratitude and warmth that I feel when I think of my time as her student.”

West Islip Schools recognize student science achievers at STEM Symposium

West Islip School District showcased the many talents of its science students at the middle school and high school level during its annual STEM Research Symposium on June 5.

Acknowledged for their hard work and dedication to their science research, stu-dents were joined by central office administrators, teachers, friends and family in the high school auditorium.

Senior science researchers in Advanced Research II, Research Institute Experience II and STEM Academy Research 12 – presented some of their research and findings and spoke about their post-graduation plans. Following the presentations in the auditorium, guests moved to the gymnasium, where the students showed off their posters and an-swered questions about their research.

Local electrical union, county officials donate safety equipment to students

A local electrical union and Suffolk County officials visited Lindenhurst High School’s home improvement class to talk about the importance of safety while working with electricity. In addition to the discussion, the union donated construction safety equipment to the class.

The union members, from IBEW 1049, along with Legislator Kevin McCaffrey, and Chief of Staff Guy Calla met with the students, who are studying home construction, including how to work on a home’s electrical infrastructure. The union members explained the ins and outs of working with electrical outlets and cables, and the life-threatening danger they can pose when not handled correctly. The visitors also donated safety equipment, including safety glasses, protective gloves, hard hats and safety vests for the students to use during their studies.

Babylon Memorial Grade School honors Eileen Ratto with memorial bench

Babylon Memorial Grade School recently unveiled a permanent bench at the school in memory of longtime special education and reading teacher Eileen Ratto, who passed away in 2021. Members of Ms. Ratto’s family, former colleagues and the grade school student body attended the unveiling ceremony.

Ratto was known for her love of reading and her dedication to her students. In her honor, the grade school hosts an annual reading campout event and fundraiser, during which families bring a blanket or chair and a book and read on the school blacktop together. With the money raised from this annual event, the school purchased the memorial bench, which was installed on the school playground.

Students are encouraged to honor Ratto’s legacy by sitting and reading a book and making new friends on the bench. “Ms. Ratto left behind a legacy of a love for reading for the generations of students she taught,” said Principal Lauren Fretto. “We hope that in this small way, this bench can serve as a tangible reminder of the love she showed them and our grade school.”

Book Vending Machine introduced at Alleghaney school in Lindenhurst

The students at Alleghany Avenue Elementary School have a fun new way to earn free books. The school recently introduced a book vending machine, which students are able to use after demonstrating good behavior.

The book vending machine was introduced as part of the school’s Practice Respect, Accept Responsibility, Work Hard, and Safety Matters—or PAWS—schoolwide behavior program. Students are rewarded with access to the machine, and the books inside, for demonstrating one or more of these important behavioral habits.

It is a visually appealing and interactive way to get students excited about reading and to encourage good behavior. To kick off the vending machine unveiling, every student at Alleghany received one free book to read over the summer. The initiative is being supported by the Alleghany PTA.

Young cancer survivor’s ‘Band-Aid Drive’ hopes to bring comfort to other kids

By Christie Leigh Babirad

At only four years old, Cassidy McCarthy was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cancer, but what followed her diagnosis is where her story really began.

The West Babylon youngster turned her thoughts away from her own illness and toward helping others who faced similar challenges.

“I would hate getting the needle in me when I was going through chemo, and the nurses had these character bandages that would always make me feel better,” explained Cassidy. “Hello Kitty was my favorite, and when I found out that they didn’t have any more of those bandages, I knew I wanted to help because if I’m feeling that these bandages can make me feel better, then I’m sure a bunch of other kids would feel the same way.”

Over the span of a two months, Cassidy, now 12, collected over 1,000 bandages for the NYU Winthrop Hospital Care Center for Kids, where she underwent 9 months of treatment. “I also donated to my primary doctor’s office and other hospitals as well,” she said.

Cassidy has been in remission for 7 years, but her efforts have continued—and expanded. After pledging to collect 1,000 “kid” bandages every year, Johnson and Johnson heard about her inspiring efforts and the company donated 600 boxes of its Band-Aid brand adhesive bandages featuring Hello Kitty.

Daughter to Daniel McCarthy, a former Copiague Fire Chief, and Jessica Pascuzzi, she has three younger siblings, Russell, Daniel and Elsie. She attends West Babylon Middle School and was recently recognized by the Town of Babylon for her work.

“It was amazing,” she said of being recognized by the town. “I feel like people are recognizing me now and know what I’m doing,” said McCarthy.

“I’m extremely proud of Cassidy’s thoughtfulness, especially when she was going through such a trying time herself,” said her father. “Today’s world seems

“She will always be my superhero,” said her mother. “For her, no matter what she was over-coming, she was always looking out for others and has a strength like no other.”

Her mother added that in her daughter’s mind, the Band-Aid collection is all about wanting to bring joy to other youngsters and to reassure them that they’re going to be okay because that’s how she felt after getting her Band-Aid after each treatment. “She faced it all head-on and has the most humble and compassionate heart,” said her mother. “She’s a believer in God and knows that she is here for a reason.”

In her free time, Cassidy plays lacrosse and is involved in her school’s drama club. She contin-ues to collect bandages for her local pediatric doctor’s office, walk-in clinics and hospitals. She invites all who want to participate in her bandage collection to please contact her through her Facebook page at Courage for Cassidy, or through Instagram at bands_mccarthy.
