County lawmakers pass wastewater infrastructure bill

Measure to be funded by sales tax hike

A proposition to provide perpetual funding for critical wastewater infrastructure and projects in Suffolk County will go to the voters this November.

The clean water measure seeks to fund both sewer projects and Innovative and Alternative On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems (I/A Systems) through a one-eighth of a percent increase in the county’s sales tax, which is currently at 4.25 percent.

Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine announced passage of the measure as he signed the historic water protection bill, with S.C. Legislature Presiding Officer Kevin

Town, state and fire officials host informational meeting on dangers associated with use of lithium-ion batteries

By Christie Leigh Babirad

The Deer Park Fire Department recently hosted a seminar focused on the safe use and handling of lithium-ion batteries, which have become common in modern electronics and vehicles. This event, co-organized by New York State Senator Monica R. Martinez, Suffolk County Legislator Tom Donnelly, and Babylon Town Councilman Terence McSweeny, was organized to educate homeowners on essential safety measures in light of increasing fire risks associated with these batteries.

Madeline Sharrock, Executive Director at Keep Islip Clean, emphasized the importance of attending such events following a letter from Senator Martinez.

“Understanding how to safely handle and store lithium-ion batteries is crucial as they continue to play a significant role in our daily lives,” she said.

Dr. Donald G. Lynch, Chief Fire Marshal for Suffolk County’s Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services, led the seminar, highlighting key safety protocols. Senator Martinez underscored the fire risks posed

by lithium-ion batteries, particularly their potential to reignite unpredictably even after apparent extinguishment.

“Lithium-ion batteries, while essential for modern technology, pose significant fire risks if not handled properly,” said Senator Martinez. “This seminar is crucial for educating the community on safety measures, ensuring we can enjoy the benefits of these devices while keeping our families and homes safe.”

Martinez explained that one of the greatest dangers with these batteries is that they can reignite without any

Friday Night

DessertTour

By Chris Cosci

Our summer tour continues, and this week brings us to Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices in Babylon Village. As the name indicates, this popular dessert spot is, well, famous for its–you guessed it–Italian ices.

What is Italian ice? Basically, it boils down to three ingredients: ice, sugar, and fruit or fruit juice–although Ralph’s does offer sugar-free options as well as several non-fruit flavors. It’s similar to many other desserts but has a style all its own.

In terms of its simple ingredients, Italian ice is reminiscent of Hawaiian shaved ice or snow cones (as made in those Snoopy Sno-Cone Machines from childhood), but Italian ice has the flavors mixed in (rather than poured on top) and is much smoother in consistency. In that respect, Italian ice is much closer to granita, a classic Sicilian dessert, or sorbet, which is not to be confused with the dairybased sherbet. (To avoid confusing the issue further, we won’t even get into the fact that some people redundantly call it water ice.)

Forget the technicalities, though. The only question that matters is: Does it taste good? The answer to that is a resounding yes. Ralph’s Italian ices come in many classic flavors, including lime, cherry, and the always popular rainbow. All you need is one taste, and you’ll know why people are often lined up for this summertime treat.

Ralph’s also makes a large variety of sherbet-like creme ices, with even bigger and bolder flavors, such as strawberry shortcake, coconut raspberry tart, and peanut butter & jelly. Many of their creme ices have chunks of cookie dough, brownie, or cake mixed right in. But why stop there? Ralph’s

also offers soft-serve ice cream, sundaes, shakes, and more.

There’s enough variety at Ralph’s to keep people coming back over and over. That’s the case for two West Islip residents, Susan and her granddaughter Alex, who spoke with me recently as they were enjoying their usual favorites: chocolate Italian ice and peanut butter cookie dough creme ice. They visit Babylon every couple of weeks for the shops and restaurants, but they always make time for some Ralph’s. And we can’t blame them!

Ralph’s is also a popular destination for families after a Little League game or following a dance recital at the studio next door. Ralph’s is perfect for these occasions because there’s something for everyone.

On our recent visit, we ordered a trio of ices, with flavors including jelly ring, mint cookie crumb, chocolate, and cherries jubilee. (You get to choose up to two flavors for each small ice.) Our son Alex decided to go a different route and opted for a soft-serve peanut butter sundae. Everything tasted great, as usual. Ralph’s is definitely a location we’ll visit several times throughout the summer to try more and more flavors. In fact, we’ll sometimes even (*gasp*) drive to get some!

There are plenty more desserts to come. As always, you can follow us on Instagram @coscifamily to see more pictures and videos of our tour.

Girl Scouts installa little food pantry at Lindenhurst Rainbow Senior Center

Girl Scout Troop 3823 has taken up a first-of-its-kind Bronze Award Project in the Lindenhurst community by installing a “Little Food Pantry” at the Rainbow Senior Citizens Community Center.

The Little Food Pantry, which applies the community library concept to food donations, will assist our neighbors who may be dealing with food insecurity by helping them stock their pantries with dry goods and canned goods. Operating on the honor system, the food items are intended for those in genuine need. While the Girl Scout Troop will monitor and continue to supply food items, it also encourages residents of Lindenhurst to donate food items. Dry goods and canned goods can be dropped off at

the Rainbow Center, located at 293 Buffalo Avenue, Lindenhurst.

The troop is led by Elicia Dahroug and Kim Dellecamelie. In May, the Troop attended a Village Board meeting and explained to. the Mayor and the Board why they thought the project was important and received approval from them to move forward with the project.

“The Little Food Pantry is a fantastic idea and will be a blessing to many individuals and families,” said Mayor Michael Lavorata. “ I thank Troop 3823 for their hard work and for this contribution to our Lindenhurst community.”

warning minutes, hours and even days after a visible fire has been put out.

She added that she knows that the Deer Park Fire Department is one of the busiest departments in Suffolk County and is thankful that the fire department is currently being trained on this urgent issue.

Trish Polstein of Deer Park, motivated by recent battery fire incidents reported in the media, stressed the necessity of learning about safety precautions. “The prevalence of lithium batteries in our homes is surprising,” she said.

Chief Lynch cautioned against overcharging batteries and stressed the importance of using certified products and following manufacturer guidelines. He advised against leaving devices in extreme temperatures and recommended using wireless chargers when feasible, as they incorporate battery management features.

President of the Deer Park School Board, Donna Marie Elliott, expressed concerns about the introduction of electric buses and their battery safety implications for children and operators. Chief Lynch acknowledged these concerns and highlighted the need for stringent safety protocols in school districts.

Lynch urged proper disposal of batteries through certified recycling centers and emphasized the danger of attempting to extinguish lithium-ion battery fires independently. “These fires require specialized handling and

POLICE BLOTTER

The following incidents have been reported by the Suffolk County Police and other local police and fire departments.

CYCLIST INJURED IN 3-VEHICLE CRASH

West Islip: Suffolk County Police Third Squad detectives are investigating a three-vehicle crash that seriously injured a motorcyclist in West Islip on Fri., July 12. Police gave this account:

Dominic Dentici was operating his 2000 Yamaha eastbound on Sunrise Highway between Higbie Lane and Udall Road when he lost control of the motorcycle and struck the rear of a 2023 Tesla, causing him to be ejected from the motorcycle, at 4:17 p.m. Keith Ward was operating his 1994 Harley-Davidson eastbound behind the Tesla. Ward lost control of the motorcycle in an effort to avoid the crash and struck the rear of the Tesla. Dentici, 31, of Ronkonkoma, was transported to Good Samaritan University Hospital in West Islip for treatment of serious injuries. The driver of the Tesla, Ashish Kaushal, 37, of Lindenhurst, was transported to Good Samaritan University Hospital in West Islip for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Ward, 48, of Island Park, was transported to South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Third Squad at 631-854-8352.

cannot be tackled with traditional methods,” he cautioned.

For those seeking to dispose of batteries responsibly, Lynch recommended contacting local recycling centers or visiting call2recycle.org. In case of a battery-related emergency, Lynch advised immediate evacuation and calling 9-1-1, emphasizing the rapid and potentially explosive nature of lithium-ion battery fires.

In related matters, NYS Gov. Kathy Hochul recently signed bills banning dangerous substandard batteries she said were linked to nearly 270 fires that killed 18 people in New York City alone.

In addition, towns on Long. Island, including Babylon and Oyster Bay, have considered moratoriums on the construction of lithium-ion battery storage facilities.

A proposal before the town is for an unmanned, lithium-ion battery energy storage facility in West Babylon at Bahama and Henry Streets, with 118 batteries in each of several enclosures, producing enough energy to power approximately 40,000 homes.

A similar move was recently discussed by the Town of Oyster Bay. At the recommendation of an environmental group, Bay Environmental, it asked to review its codes concerning town facilities. The town is considering several options.

to protect Suffolk’s water quality for decades to come,” said McCaffrey. “After many months of hard work by stakeholders including Assemblyman … Thiele, the voters will now be able to add their approval. Voters have consistently supported clean water initiatives and open space preservation and we expect they will overwhelmingly see this as a small price to pay for generations of water quality.”

Kevin McDonald, the Long Island policy advisor for The Nature Conservancy, commended Romaine for his swift approval of the Water Quality Restoration Act, the final step in putting a landmark clean water measure before voters this November.

“If approved, the Water Quality Restoration Act will drastically reduce pollution and restore our bays and harbors by making critical infrastructure improvements not only possible, but affordable to residents and businesses,” he said.

Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, recognized Romaine and McCaffrey for their work and support of the measure. “The public must know this referendum is a bipartisan clean water plan based on over 10 years of scientific study, collaboration, and effort,” she said. “We are now on the path to a cleaner, safer, healthier future!”

Support for the measure also came from labor, including John R. Durso, president of the Long Island Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, and Ryan Stanton, executive director of the Long Island Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO.

“With the signing of this bill, Long Island is one step closer to guaranteeing the availability of clean drinking water and maintaining the viability of our coastlines while creating thousands of union jobs with family-sustaining wages in the process,” they said.

Embrace the delights of summer before they slowly slip away

Ah, summer—a fleeting season of leisure and warmth, a precious respite from our hectic lives. It's a time to savor the simple joys: the laughter of loved ones, the taste of ice cream melting in the sun, the refreshing taste of watermelon on a hot day. Here on Long Island, we're blessed with an abundance of these delights as well as with special events that make our communities so unique.

Picture strolling through bustling farmers markets, where baskets overflow with fresh produce, artisanal breads, and jars of homemade preserves. These markets bring communities together, filling parks with the vibrant colors and flavors of the season. In the evenings and on warm weekday afternoons, local concerts offer us the chance to get down to our business districts, parks and waterfronts, and unwind under the open sky. Our beautiful waterways give us the opportunity to boat and ski or cast a lazy line to catch a fish. And how can we forget

our world-class beaches, where we can build sandcastles and create memories with every splash of the surf.

Yet, as swiftly as summer arrives, makes a hasty departure. Soon, the rhythms of life will shift: children preparing for a new school year, pools quietly readied for winter, gardens yielding their final harvests. But for now, summer grants us permission to slow down, to linger over moments that can wait until autumn's chill beckons.

So, let's seize this season, embrace its lazy afternoons and sunlit evenings. Let's savor every sun-kissed moment, ensuring that summer of 2024 leaves us with memories as bright as the days themselves.

And let’s not forget to thank the members of the local chambers of commerce and other organizations who work so hard to bring us these wonderful summers, as well as the town, village and county workers who also help make it all happen and keep us safe.

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS: By Kevin Eastwood

A life lesson on finding solutions to get through formidable problems

By Everyone encounters adverse circumstances. Some people survive and thrive while others suffer and allow their spirit to be extinguished. It's not the circumstances that vary, it is the manner in which each individual chooses to respond.

Harold was out for a walk when he came across an old abandoned well shaft. Peering over the edge, he lost his footing and fell to the bottom of the deep well. Miraculously, Harold was unhurt as he landed in the soft dirt at the bottom.

As Harold sat down to ponder his options, some dirt landed on his head. Ralph, the owner of the farm where the well was located, had meant for years to fill in the old dry well so that it wouldn't be a hazard. Just hours after Harold's mishap, Ralph and several of his farmer

neighbors, arrived at the well to finally fill it in. Harold yelled up to the men. But the well was too deep for them to hear him and it was certainly too dark for them to see him. Furthermore, Ralph and his friends never expected someone to be in the well. Fortunately for Harold, the well was located in a location that was impossible to get a backhoe into. So, the men were filling in the well with hand shovels.

Harold quickly realized the men had no idea he was trapped at the bottom. Harold knew that if he didn't do anything, he would be buried. So, as each shovel of dirt landed on him, he shook it off and packed it underneath his feet. Little by little, Harold was able work his way up the shaft.

Ralph and the men at the top of the well were in shock when Harold eventually climbed out. Although he was completely filthy, Harold was ecstatic that he was free from his awful predicament. Harold contemplated how ironic it was that the same dirt he used for his escape would have been his demise had he not taken any action.

We can learn a number of lessons from Harold's experience. First of all, it is possible you will find yourself in an unexpected situation you didn't plan for and don't like. Once Harold fell

into the well, all that mattered to him was how was he going to get out.

How he came to be in his predicament and what he could have done to avoid it were irrelevant so long as he remained trapped. Harold might wish he was not trapped or lament his carelessness in falling down the well. But in order for Harold to survive, all of his mental and physical energy must be devoted to solving his problem.

Harold's circumstances were not going to improve on their own. If he did nothing, his situation would have gotten worse. If Harold were passive, the dirt falling on him would have buried him.

Life can get messy. When dirt starts falling, stand up, shake yourself off, and use it to your advantage. Don't act like a victim. Ralph was not targeting Harold. You have to be self-reliant and help yourself. Assistance from others is not always available.

Don't panic. Your situation may seem dark, but there is a way out. Don't panic, keep your wits. Don't just lie down, you must move up and out.

Whenever you fall into a hole, you can never dig your way out. One way or another, you have to climb out. If you want to improve a bad situation, the only way to go is up. When the dirt starts falling, you have got to get moving in order to avoid being covered over.

Families can make the most of summer’s end

It seems like just yesterday people were heralding the arrival of summer. After many months of fickle weather, summer’s warm temperatures and ample sunshine can be that hug from Mother Nature people need. But soon summer will be coming to an end, making room for apples, corn and pumpkin spice.

Even though summer will soon be singing its swan song, there is still plenty of time for families to enjoy the waning days of surf and sunshine. Here are some family-friendly options to consider.

Catch a concert

Summer is a time of year when many artists go on tour and sell out everything from arenas to ampitheaters to more intimate venues. Find a singer the entire family enjoys and grab some tickets.

Pick fruit

Peach season varies depending on where you live, but May through September is a prime time for pick-yourown farms to open their orchards to the peach-picking public. Turn those peaches into pies for Labor Day festivities.

Watch some fireworks

Those who didn’t have an opportunity to catch a fireworks display already this summer, or who enjoyed it so much that they want more, can find out when the next big display will take place. Some beachside towns and even amusement parks regularly host fireworks shows on the weekends.

Climb a lighthouse

National Lighthouse Day occurs on August 7. Locate a lighthouse within driving distance and visit one of the beautiful and historic structures that commemorate maritime history. For ex-

ample, Sandy Hook Lighthouse in New Jersey, which was lit for the first time in 1764, is the oldest operating lighthouse in the United States.

Pick a day to re-do

Ask all members of the family what sticks out in their minds as the best summer day so far. It may have been paddleboarding in a lake or taking a scenic drive. Compile the answers and then pick one activity to enjoy all over again.

Head to a state fair

State fairs fill calendars this time of year. They’re perfect ways to enjoy carnival rides, fair foods, live entertainment, and even livestock.

Watch balloons rise

Check to see if there is a hot-air balloon festival taking place nearby. Watch these huge items become lighter than air and get lifted off the ground.

Enjoy an outdoor movie

Purchase or borrow a movie projector and set up a screen outdoors. That screen can be an actual outdoor screen or a white sheet stretched between two poles. Invite the neighborhood to come over, set up picnic blankets and enjoy a family flick.

Camp out

Pitch a tent at a campground or even in your own backyard and spend an evening sleeping under the stars.

Visit a garden or arboretum

Plan a day trip to a botanical garden or arboretum to view the various trees, flowers and shrubs in bloom. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy a day in nature. Families can wind down from summer by engaging in various enjoyable activities before a new school year begins.

A tale of feline intrigue and a family’s heartache

”I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.” Edgar Allan Poe

And I wish I could delve into my friends’ 13-year-old tabbico Josefina’s mind to discover where the fugitive wandered on her recent excursion while her pet parents were far away.

Cats have a masterful way of remaining mysterious. The magical glint in their eyes and air of superiority in their body language convey that our feline friends will never reveal what we desperately want to find out. Cats are known for their ability to command attention without trying, to move with grace, and to radiate intrigue.

Josefina’s Holy Namesake: Josefina fits her species’ mold. Her family adopted Josefina when she was a tiny kitten. Tabbico cats are 99.9 percent of the time female, a tabby and calico mixture of three colors, woven like a patchwork quilt.

Her feminine Biblical name was after the story of “Joseph and His Coat of Many Colors” in the Book of Genesis. Joseph was the favorite son of Jacob, so his bitterly, jealous brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt. They stole his resplendent coat and dipped it in goat blood to make it appear as if Joseph were dead . With divine intervention, Joseph predicted a future famine. He saved his family by moving them to Egypt. Josefina’s name depicts this story of redemption and forgiveness which adds sanctity to her feline psyche. Josephina’s Family: Our cat column character belongs to my friends Helen and Tom. Helen and I taught together for over 30 years. When our thirdgrade classes were across the hall from each other, we invented the Olympic sport we dubbed “synchronized teaching”.

We carpooled to school for years and have been together on countless capers, some feline. After seeing the depressing cat hoarder Broadway play “Grey Gardens” , our train broke down on the way home during a hot summer night . The LIRR kept the passengers in the dark, literally and figuratively, for hours until Helen and I stood up and started shouting “Attica, Attica”.

Her husband Tom recently retired from the Marine Biology department at Stony Brook after over 40 years. He is an engineer who can devise and repair instruments for specific, scientific tasks. Tom is easy going and quite generous with his talents. He is everyone’s “Go to Guy” with computer and other equipment problems. When I adopted Veto my kitten born without a paw, Tom was determined to create a prosthetic foot which I assured him no kitten would ever tolerate. My vet eventually amputated Veto’s entire back leg and padded the stump, so he had a cushion when he jumped or climbed for the next 17 years.

My favorite memory is being at wedding when the chocolate fountain broke. Tom, dressed up, jumped under the fountain to repair it. The maitre d’ was about to chastise him when I clamored: “Stop! He knows what he is doing”, as Tom fixed the fountain. Nowadays, he is busy repairing instruments on the late Dr. James Simons’ yacht , the Archimedes, which has a huge amount of research equipment.

Josephina’s Jaunt: Helen and Tom left for two weeks in Barbados on Friday, July 12. They were invited

because Tom was fine-tuning his airplane devices that collect samples of atmosphere on a specific plane, and because 18 scientists from around the world were convening to share climate change research.

They have a great cat sitter duo. Rosemary, their across the street neighbor, is a skilled, ailurophile with two Ragdolls, while their daughter, Mary, is a cat devotee whose own cat is a rescue from Qatar. Rosemary was back up whenever Mary didn’t come to sleep over. Late Sunday evening, Josefina was being “scootchi” (Italian slang for “pesty”) while Mary was trying to sleep so she put her outside the bedroom door. Early next morning she rushed out because she is in charge of a three-yearold campers. Josefina rarely greets her so early because she sleeps a lot and has the run of three floors. It wasn’t until Mary returned that she realized a window screen was open and Josefina was GONE.

A Younger Josefina’s Escapades: Josefina has always been an indoor cat, but when she was much younger she pushed open a basement window several times, took off toward the west and returned soon after. Once she was spooked and climbed a tree, but that was years ago when she was more energetic. Was this great getaway because she missed her pet parents, was angry about being exiled from the bedroom or merely an irresistible, open window?

The Search Party: I got word in Tom’s text from Barbados that Josefina was missing. Rosemary began combing the area by telling neighbors and posting on social media. She made the dreaded chore of calling the Town Highway department for a list of cats hit by car. I put Josefina’s plight on Last Hope Facebook and borrowed a trap from my friend. Mary put out all the items like food and clothing with her family’s scent that lure lost cats back home and left the exit window open.

Midweek I taught Mary how to bait the trap with sardines and an oily fish Hansel and Gretel trail leading to the treadle. The trap was set and checked each

morning and at dusk. We searched the neighborhood, moved every possible bush or weed and hung flyers. John Debacker, cat whisperer extraordinaire, was away until the weekend. He offered me his trap camera after someone checking for a cat lost in a house fire finished with it. The Last Hope camera was aimed at a cat colony in Patchogue.

Ironically, a French film team was in Barbados to make a cloud documentary. Their camera and charger were not cooperating until Tom fixed them. One member of the team clamored: “Everyone needs a Tom” (“Tout le monde a besoin d’un Tom”) . I knew we would need a Tom too if we had the trap camera. On Friday evening, five days after Josefina vanished, Mary pulled into the driveway after camp and Josefina ran up to her car meowing . Yes, Josefina is quite vocal but she will never tell us what we want to hear. That would be breaking the feline code of honor and mystique.

Obituary NOtice

Valerie Mary Ninette Gill, former Amityville resident and parishioner at St. Martin's, at 94

By Christie Leigh Babirad

Described as a woman of strong faith, Valerie Mary Ninette Gill, formerly of Amityville, died on March 1, 2024 at 94 years old.

Mrs. Gill was born on February 8, 1930 in Colombo, Sri Lanka to Frederick and Henrietta Rodrigo. She grew up there and remained there until 1966 when she and her husband Thomas Kronemberg and their five children emigrated to America. The family first settled in Brooklyn before moving out to Amityville in 1969 to a house on Sterling Place where her husband worked in the electrical field. A few years later they moved to Mill Street but he died shortly after due to long-standing illnesses.

She later met and married Jerry Gill and they moved to Oak Street and later Green Avenue when the children were grown.

Mrs. Gill’s granddaughter, Jaclynkelli Kronemberg said that when her grandmother moved to Amityville, she found a community that she would always hold dear.

“My mother was most happy living in Amityville,” said her daughter Tira Branch. “She loved the village, the beach, the parks, the parades, her

children’s schools and her lifelong friends who became part of her life.”

Mrs. Gill enrolled her children in Saint Martin of Tours School and would take her grandchildren to church every Sunday, forming a close relationship with the church. Her granddaughter Brandy Jenkins said the memories she holds of her grandmother are “countless,” but one that stands out was their Sunday routine of attending mass together, followed by a “beautiful Sri Lankan dinner.”

Mrs. Gill also taught catechism classes at the church and she often volunteered to help the church in whatever way she could. “She was a faithful and generous parishioner,” said her daughter Tira.

“She had a very big heart and instilled in us the importance of giving back and being kind,” said her granddaughter Jaclynkelli, who added that even after her grandmother moved to North Carolina, she was involved with Meals on Wheels, always there to help those in need.

Mrs. Gill also worked in the thrift shop at St. Vincent DePaul for many years as a salesclerk and then later took on numerous domestic jobs.

In addition to her faith, Mrs. Gill’s Sri Lankan culture was of great significance to her and her granddaughter Jaclynkelli said that her grandmother made sure

that her children and grandchildren knew about their heritage. She believed in passing down the talents and of the culture to each new generation.

Mrs. Gill’s granddaughter Jaclynkelli also remembers her grandmother as someone who would always take time to speak to and learn about others. “She made friends wherever she went,” said Jaclynkelli.

Mrs. Gill stayed active, wanting to experience all that life had to offer. She enjoyed walking and frequently took her grandchildren with her to places including Peterkin Park, Avon Lake, The Lauder Museum, Sunrise Mall and Amityville Public Library. She loved to travel and enjoyed many day trips with her grandchildren to the zoo, the circus and fairs.

“She loved her family,” said her granddaughter Jaclynkelli. “And she was proud of all of us.”

She carefully honed the skills of sewing, knitting and cooking and shared those with family and friends, sometimes donating children’s clothing that she made as well to local hospitals.

“We were always together,” said her daughter Tira, who now cherishes the time they spent together going to local events and enjoying family celebrations.

Her granddaughter Brandy also remembers, with fondness, the time she spent with her grandmother. “I will forever hold dear the image of my grandmother, a truly remarkable individual both inside and out,” she said. “Her love and warmth touched the hearts of all who crossed her path; she not only taught me the art of knitting and sewing, but she also instilled in me the values of respect and unconditional love.”

Valerie Mary Ninette Gill is predeceased by her mother and father, Frederick and Henrietta Rodrigo, her first husband Thomas Kronemberg, siblings Aubrey, Ronald, Carlyle, Clement and Heather and her grandson Clifton Odell Robinson, Jr.

She is survived by her husband Gerald

“Jerry” Gill of Saratoga, sister Christine Neydorff and her husband Ronald of Melbourne, Australia, her children Cherie Robinson and her husband Odell of Winfall, North Carolina, Humphrey Kronemberg and his wife Jackie of Amityville, Kurt Kronemberg and his wife Janet of Bay Shore, Kevin Kronemberg of Lawrenceveille, Georgia and Tira Branch and her husband Lester of Wheatley Heights. She is also survived by her grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Mrs. Gill reposed at Gregory B. Levett and Sons Funeral Homes, 914 Scenic Highway South, Lawrenceville Georgia on March 16, 2024 with a service in Gwinnett Chapel, followed by a private cremation.

The Church of Saint Martin of Tours at 37 Union Avenue in Amityville will be dedicating a mass in her honor on Sunday, September 22, 2024 at 12 p.m. All are welcome to attend. A memorial tree has also been planted in front of 42 Green Avenue.

How it pays to spend time in nature

Few things can be as distracting as a beautiful day. When the weather outside is welcoming, it can be hard to focus on indoor activities, including work and tasks around the house. Though it’s not advisable to ignore responsibilities at work and at home when the weather outside beckons, it can be beneficial to spend ample time in nature when circumstances allow.

People tend to flock to the great outdoors in spring, summer and fall, and some are even so devoted that they bundle up and head outside throughout winter. Whether they know it or not, people who love to spend time in nature are doing their mental and physical health a lot of good by embracing the great outdoors.

Mental health benefits

The National Alliance of Mental Illness notes that a growing body of research supports the idea that time in nature is good for mental health. A 2015 study from researchers at Stanford University found that people who walked in a natural area for 90 minutes exhibited decreased activity in a region of the brain associated with depression compared to those who walked in high-traffic urban settings.

The United Kingdom-based Mental Health Foundation also touts the mental health benefits of the great outdoors. According to the MHF, research shows

that people who are connected with nature are more likely to report their lives are worthwhile than those with no such connectedness. In addition, the MHF notes time in nature has been shown to generate positive emotions, including calmness and joy, and promote greater creativity.

When seeking to capitalize on the mental health benefits of time in nature, people should know that where they spend time outdoors matters. As the Stanford study indicated, time outside in high-traffic urban settings may not produce as profound an effect as time spent in natural settings, like forests, that tend to be more serene. People who live in cities or other densely populated areas can still benefit from time outdoors, but they might experience even greater health gains if they make consistent efforts to spend time in more natural settings.

Physical health benefits

The physical health benefits of time in nature are equally notable. Perhaps the most obvious physical benefit is related to physical activity. People tend to embrace physical activity when spending time in nature. Hiking, jogging, walking, nature-based recreational activities like kayaking, and playing sports like basketball or pickleball all involve physical activity, which can help people avoid the consequences of a sedentary

Honoring the accomplishments of the WB senior class

On June 12, West Babylon Senior High School held its annual Senior Awards Night to present scholarships and honor the members of the Class of 2024. Community members, friends, family, administrators and board of education members all gathered to recognize the accomplishments of the members of the senior class both in and out of the classroom.

West Babylon Senior High School Principal Stephen O’Leary welcomed the soon-to-be graduates and their families. He congratulated the seniors for their dedication in the classroom,

lifestyle, such as an increased risk for chronic diseases. More specifically, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation notes the physical health benefits of spending time outside include:

• A stronger immune system

• Lower blood pressure

• Increased energy levels

• Improved sleep

Each of those benefits contributes to greater overall health, making time outdoors among the more beneficial behaviors a person can embrace.

There’s no shortage of benefits to spending time in nature. That’s something to keep in mind the next time welcoming weather beckons you to get some fresh air.How it pays to spend time in nature

on the field, in the arts, in their community and to giving back. Each student was called to the stage one by one to receive one of many community awards, memorial scholarships and academic excellence honors.

Seniors received scholarships and awards from members of the West Babylon community including the American Legion, West Babylon Fire Department, Lion’s Club, the Chamber of Commerce, local legislators and many more. The top 10 students in the Class of 2024 were formally honored by the West Babylon Board of Education.

Lindenhurst native supports U.S. Navy’s first unmanned undersea vehicles

By Ashley Craig, Navy Office of Community Outreach

Tucked away on a peninsula in the Pacific Northwest, sailors and engineers are working to extend the U.S. Navy’s reach and push the capabilities of unmanned vehicles.

Chief Petty Officer Jesse Combs, a native of Lindenhurst is one of the sailors assigned to Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Operations Center, supporting the Navy’s first unmanned undersea squadron.

Combs graduated from Lindenhurst High School in 2004. Additionally, he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in computer animation from the New York Institute of Technology in 2008.

The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those he learned in Lindenhurst.

“Growing up, I learned that having a good work ethic, a can-do attitude and a plan can go a long way in career advancement,” said Combs. “My earliest job working in a grocery store on Route 109 was my first exposure to these statements having value and effect. Having a plan and being able to work with others is second nature to me.”

Combs joined the Navy 12 years ago. Today, Combs serves as a sonar technician (submarines).

“I felt it was my duty to sacrifice for what is important to me to defend the freedoms we love as a country and the communities I value,” said Combs. “I’m a third-generation sailor and second-generation submariner and sonar tech. My dad was a sonar technician first class aboard a ‘Boomer.’ My grandfather was a corpsman in World War II. I joined the Navy later in life, not as an 18-year-old fresh out of school. I was a motion capture director and, after I left that job, I couldn’t find another motion capture job in New York City. I did some soul-searching and found that I wanted to defend the arts and have job security. I already had that family military tradition. Coming into the Navy later was advantageous for me because I had life experience. Understanding how to organize and lead has definitely helped me excel.”

Established in 2017, Commander, Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Group (COMUUVGRU) 1 operates rapidly deployable unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) to further the Navy’s underwater capabilities and learn more

about the sea from information provided by the vehicles’ sensors, according to Navy officials. These unmanned vehicles can go into environments that a human crew may not be able to reach safely or easily.

With 90% of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity of the United States is directly linked to recruiting and retaining talented people from across the rich fabric of America.

Combs serves a Navy that operates far forward, around the world and around the clock, promoting the nation’s prosperity and security.

“We will earn and reinforce the trust and confidence of the American people every day,” said Adm. Lisa Franchetti, chief of naval operations. “Together we will deliver the Navy the nation needs.”

“From a family values perspective, my proudest moment was when my father, Sonar Technician (Submarines) 1st Class James Combs, was able to pin my fish on my chest,” said Combs. “I’d never seen him that happy or proud before in my life. I was accomplishing something he thought would never happen. My brother and I went the arts route. I was his son but, after getting my fish, I was also his brother. We can communicate on a level that only we can understand. I have someone when I go home who can understand what I’m going through. A lot of people can’t do that.”

myself. That uniqueness of me having that artist mindset, I have molded that different mindset into a strength for situations.”

Combs offered encouragement for others.

Combs can take pride in serving America through military service.

“Serving in the Navy means defending the freedoms and rights that we have as a nation,” he said. “It means being able to protect my friends and family to allow them keep doing the things they love and to do them openly. Protecting the arts and artists is huge for me, being one

“If you find yourself as a unique thinker, have a unique view or walk a different path than normal, use it to your advantage,” added Combs. “You might have the atypical solution to a complex problem. Thinking outside the box has had many positive repercussions on my path and may have them on yours.”

Strength, support offered by North Babylon’s mentoring program

The Mentors Giving Voices Across North Babylon program in the school district’s elementary schools continues to make a significant impact on students’ lives, fostering personal growth and academic success in nurturing environments. These initiatives pair adult volunteers with students to provide guidance, support and encouragement throughout their educational journey.

The program is now in its 19th year and currently overseen by Jeanette Roberto, district mentor coordinator. “Mentoring helps students build confidence by offering personalized support and positive reinforcement,” Roberto said. “Mentors serve as role models, demonstrating perseverance and resilience in the face of challenges. Through regular interactions, younger students gain self-assurance and develop essential social skills that prepare them for future academic and personal endeavors.” To close out the year, the district held a “groovy” themed breakfast.

The Mentors Giving Voices Across North Babylon program in the school district’s elementary schools is now in its 19th year. Mentors and mentees closed out the year with a breakfast together.
