Amityville’s Jeff Erath honored by Bay Village Civic Association

By CAROLYN JAMES cjames@liherald.com

On a cold but sunny Sunday afternoon, the Bay Village Civic Association held its 18th annual brunch at the Unqua Corinthian Yacht Club. This year’s event honored Jeffrey Erath, former chief of the Amityville Fire Department and current treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce, who is often seen at ribbon cuttings and other village events.

A plaque was presented to Erath by Joan Donnison on behalf of the civic association, thanking him for his years of service, dedication, and commitment to Amityville.

Proclamations were also presented by Amityville Village Mayor Dennis Siry on behalf of the Village Board, as well as Byron McCray, representing NYS Assemblyman Kwani O’Pharrow. The Town of Babylon also recognized Erath at a recent board meeting, acknowledging his long-standing commitment to the community.

Erath, a lifelong Amityville resident, was born at Brunswick Hospital and is a graduate of Amityville Memorial High School. He was a fourth-generation owner and operator of Wm. Erath & Sons, a professional tile and natural stone contracting business from which he retired in 2010. Along with his wife, Angela, he now owns Ideal Health & Wellness Inc., which offers the Ideal Protein Weight Loss protocol.

Erath has been a member of the Amityville Fire Department for 48 years, serving as chief. He is active in the Amityville Chamber of Commerce, having served as president, and is a past member of the Unqua Corinthian Yacht Club.

“I am very grateful to the Village of Amityville, Town Board, Joan Donnison, and the members of the

Bay Village Civic Association for this honor,” said Erath. “My work in the community is something that was instilled in me by my parents growing up in Amityville. My mother was in the Junior League and the Woman’s Club, and my father was involved in church. They always said that life is about what you can do for others.”

“Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food, camaraderie, and auction prizes,” said Donnison, reflecting on the event.

Music for the event was provided by Margaret Brooks and Meghan Chimenti.

The Bay Village Civic Association represents the residents of the Village of Amityville. For more information, contact them at bayvillagecivic@aol.com.

Amityville edges Smithtown West for county title

By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

Amityville entered the Suffolk Class AA boys’ basketball playoffs with nearly three weeks to chew on consecutive losses.

Then in span of 10 days, the Warriors with junior guard Amir Dickerson leading the charge took out No. 4 Bellport, No. 1 Wyandanch and finally No. 3 Smithtown West to claim their first county championship in five years.

Dickerson put the finishing touch on fifth-seeded Amityville’s title run, scoring 28 points including the goahead basket with less than three minutes remaining in last Friday afternoon’s 60-57 victory over the

Bulls before a jam-packed crowd at Farmingdale State College.

“We wouldn’t be denied and it feels great,” said Dickerson, who scored 14 points in each half. “We’re a closeknit team on and off the court and we really wanted to win.”

Senior Dajon Clinton added 11 points, senior Taki Mason 9 and junior Wes Flythe 8 for the Warriors, who improved to 16-7 and advanced to face Baldwin for the Long Island Class AA supremacy on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. at Farmingdale State.

Junior Michael Cascione paced Smithtown West (18-5) with 22 points, 10 of which came in the fourth quarter when it battled back from a ninepoint deficit to pull even.

“I’m so happy because these kids

practiced and worked so hard all season,” Amityville head coach Jack Agostino said. “I’m very proud that we got this done as the 5-seed. That’s never happened here before, to win it all as that low a seed.”

Agostino’s coaching counterpart in the championship game was his younger brother Mike.

“They were probably the bestcoached team we’ve faced all season,” said Jack, who’s in his second coaching stint with the Warriors (1997-2014, 2022-present), has more than 530 career victories and is assisted by another brother, Anthony. “We knew this was going to be a battle right down to the wire and that’s exactly what it was. I wasn’t shocked.

“I’m thankful the kids found a way and that we get to practice for at least three more days together,” he added.

Mason’s three-pointer to close the third quarter gave the Warriors a 4540 halftime lead after the game was deadlocked at 28 at intermission. Baskets by Clinton and Flythe to open the fourth gave Amityville its largest

lead at 49-40, but the Bulls responded with a 12-3 run to create what would be the game’s final stalemate.

Dickerson scored seven of the next nine points, including a traditional three-point play off a feed from sophomore guard Allen Dodson-Isabell and an end-to-end rush capped by a floater in the lane.

Dickerson, who has taken his game to an elite level under the guidance of former Amityville star and former NBA player A.J. Price according to Jack Agostino, poured in 31 points in the 68-50 quarterfinal win at Bellport Feb. 26 in what was the team’s first game in 19 days. Mason poured in 16 and Flythe chipped in 10.

Then came a much-anticipated showdown with Wyandanch, which beat Amityville twice during the regular season—Jan. 14 on a buzzerbeating trey, 57-56, and Feb. 6, 72-59.

In a back-and-forth classic semifinal March 3 at Longwood High School, Dickerson (27 points) nailed the decisive shot with 10.3 seconds remaining for a 64-63 win.

Junior Amir Dickerson, right, poured in 28 points to lead the Warriors to their first county championship in five years.

Leaders and advocates celebrate Sustainability

Local leaders push for greener, cleaner communities

By Kelsie Radziski

Visionaries, advocates and trailblazing leaders gathered at the Heritage Club in Bethpage on Feb. 26 to celebrate groundbreaking innovations and inspire bold action toward a sustainable future. From young students to influential policy-makers to community members making a difference, the Herald Sustainability Awards of Long Island, presented by Reworld, recognized those whose efforts are shaping a cleaner, greener tomorrow.

“It is an honor for us at the Herald and Reworld to showcase the achievements of these leaders,” Stuart Richner, president and publisher of Richner Communications Inc. and the Herald, said.

As Azeez Mohammed, CEO of Reworld, emphasized, the commitment to sustainability is not just about progress — it’s about making a lasting, positive impact.

“We are honoring those leaders and budding youngsters who demonstrated a commitment to sustainability, and that matters a lot to us,” Mohammed said. “Because with Reworld, our claim to fame is that we are the only company that manages waste in a sustainable manner.”

Reworld utilizes “infrastructure, technology and imagination to solve complex waste management challenges and help create a sustainable and more prosperous future for businesses and communities,” according to the company’s website.

Reworld was represented at the awards ceremony by Maureen Early, lead community relations specialist; Dawn Harmon, director of Long Island market; Adel Omrani, president of the East Region; and Lloyd Naideck, director of state government relations along with many other Reworld team members.

“We’re delighted to be able to honor all of these sustainability champions here tonight,” Early said. “So many of them have done so much in making Long Island a better place to live, work and play.”

Two young students were recognized for their sustainability efforts. Joseph Petraro, an 11-year-old who is a freshman at Louisiana State University, founded the Joe’s Be Kind Campaign, a nonprofit aimed at promoting positive social change, especially for vulnerable children. The initiative’s mission is to foster kindness, inclusivity and connections throughout communities, and to promote positive mental well-being.

“I used to get bullied when I was a lot younger,” Joseph said, “and I don’t want other people to feel that same way.”

He also started other initiatives, including the Clean Wells for Humanity program, which tackles global water scarcity, and the Adopt-a-Grandparent program, which fosters intergenerational bonds and promotes sustainable living practices. Joseph’s efforts to bring people together to help the environment made him a Student Champion for Sustainability Award winner.

Desiree Mohammadi, a 12-year-old student at South Woods Middle School, in Syosset, was honored for her initiative Seeds of Hope, which began when she saved the seeds from the vegetables in her family’s garden. Seeds of Hope has blossomed into a bigger movement, and Desiree has partnered with Island Harvest to plant seeds every spring at the nonprofit’s Healthy Harvest Farm in Brentwood.

“I think it’s a human right that people should be able to access fresh fruits and vegetables,” she said. Both student award winners were also presented with $2,500 to support their education or future sustainability projects.

Other honorees include Don Clavin, Town of Hempstead supervisor, and Rich Schaffer, Town of Babylon supervisor, who received Environmental Leader in Policy awards. They have each made efforts, working with Reworld, to improve sustainability and environmental efforts in their towns.

“It’s a great honor to be recognized by the Herald and by Reworld,” Schaffer said. “Reworld has been an excellent partner with the Town of Babylon, and it’s probably the main part of our solid waste infrastructure and how we deal with making sure the garbage leaves the curb and is dealt with correctly.”

Local community leaders were also recognized for their work. Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, works to protect natural resources and public health. She and her organization have taken on challenges such as upgrading failing sewage-treatment systems, protecting and filtering drinking and surface water and supporting large-scale renewable-energy projects in the interest of improving the environment.

“We really feel it’s our job to make sure Long Island is clean, safe and sustainable for now and in the future,” Esposito said.

Gregory Sandor, executive director of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County, was honored as well, for the strides the organization has made during his 12 years of leadership. The group has earned grant funding for a number of its specialized programs, including renewable energy, sustainable food systems, urban forestry and youth development. Cornell Cooperative is currently working with Reworld to build a Dynamic Learning Center in East Meadow, with the goal of educating the public about sustainability issues.

“We’re always looking at sustainability issues and how to be more resilient,” Sandor said. “So it’s exciting to be a part of that, and be a part of this different group of leaders that are being recognized.”

As attendees mingled and celebrated the honorees, vendors offered their donated products, among them Barrier Brewing Co., Garvies Point Craft Brewery, Farrm Wines, Borghese Vineyard, Del Vino Vineyards, Loughlin Vineyard and Twisted Cow Distillery.

The Herald Sustainability Awards were a testament to the collective impact when leaders and advocates unite with a shared purpose. The inaugural event showed that commitment to sustainability is about leaving a lasting, positive imprint on the world for generations to come.
