By a vote of 4-1, the Babylon Village Board denied an application from DHT Babylon to open a bar/restaurant in the former Argyle Grill & Tavern at 90 Deer Park Avenue. After a review of the application, as well as a visit to the applicants’ three other bar/ restaurants, the board made the decision to reject the application.
“We thank them for considering the Village; however, the trustees and myself felt that their business model would not be successful at that location,” said Mayor Mary Adams. “The Argyle has a long, successful history in the Village and we want to achieve something like that there again.”
The applicants met with the mayor and the board on several occasions and formally presented their proposal at a public hearing June 25. Adams said that on those occasions the plan seemed to be inconclusive and not clearly defined. In addition, she said that the other DHT establishments were more like sports bars than restaurants and attracted large crowds of younger people in a party-like atmosphere that extended into the late-night hours.
The dissenting vote came from Trustee Anthony Cardali. While he said he did not want the application approved as presented, because he believed,

The Lindenhurst Board of Education has named Vincent A. Caravana as the permanent Superintendent of Schools.
Carvana, an educator with almost 25 years of experience, including nearly 16 years in the Lindenhurst School District, had served as Lindenhurst’s Interim superintendent for this past school year.
“When I think about where most of the building blocks of who I am as a person came from, I think about all of the excellent teachers that I had,” Caravana said. “I started my career in education because I wanted to be that person for the next generations of students.”
Caravana started as a high school English teacher at West Islip High School in 2000 before moving to his first administrative position as Assistant Principal at Beach Street Middle School, also in West Islip, in 2007. He said working in public school administration not only allowed him to broaden his impact on student education but also gave him the opportunity to become a teacher and mentor to other teachers.
New administrator has strong ties to the community
“The science of teaching never stays stagnant. There are so many layers to how humans learn,” Caravana said. “As an administrator, you’re not only working in the academic realm of education but also the social one. You are trying to get your teachers to grow and push themselves out of their comfort zone to become better teachers. But you can only do that if you have gained their trust.”
First coming to Lindenhurst as Coordinator of Secondary English in 2009, Caravana became Assistant Principal at the high school in

When looking for great desserts, there are some obvious destinations: bakeries, ice cream shops, chocolatiers. To find something new and exciting, we sometimes venture to places that are known for more than just their desserts.
That’s why this week we took our tour to Barrique Kitchen & Wine Bar at 69 Deer Park Ave., Babylon. Celebrating 15 years in the village this September, this popular hotspot, which offers both indoor and outdoor seating, is praised for its extensive wine menu and its diverse menu of tapas–small plates of food that are designed for sharing. The menu includes such savory options as braised short ribs, lobster risotto, and goat cheese ravioli. The servings may be small in size, but they’re huge in flavor.
In addition to the small plates, Barrique also serves sandwiches, charcuterie boards, and stone oven pizzas. Of course, this would not be a stop on our tour if they didn’t also serve dessert–and we all agreed that it’s worth saving room for dessert at Barrique.
All of Barrique’s desserts are served in jars. They’re brought to the table in a serving rack, so you can enjoy your choice immediately after selecting it. We spoke with our server, Ashley, who confirmed that all of the desserts are made in-house. A few flavors are standard, but they usually change out two flavors every season. Past seasonal flavors have included apple pie and pumpkin spice cakes in the fall, strawberry shortcake in the summer, and lemon cake in the spring.
On our recent visit, we shared four different desserts, all of which were so good that we hardly left a crumb behind. We had red velvet cake (one of the flavors of the summer), Mississippi mud (with chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache, and brownie pieces), Oreo
cheesecake (with a rich cream cheese filling), and peanut butter cup (which Ashley said was the most popular option–and just one taste made it clear why).
When pressed for her favorite, Ashley didn’t hesitate: the loaded Nutella. With Nutella mousse, marshmallow fluff, and graham crackers, Ashley says “it’s like a s’mores deconstructed.” We didn’t get a chance to try that on this visit, so we’ll just have to go back another time!
Barrique is a great spot if you want to relax at the bar for a few drinks or if you want to share a lot of great food with a large group. As our recent visit confirms, it’s also an excellent spot if you just want to grab some amazing dessert.
We’re not sure yet what’s up next on our tour, but we do know there’s no shortage of great local desserts to try. As always, you can follow us @CosciFamily on Instagram for pictures and videos of our experiences.
The Barrique can be reached at: 631321-1175.
Don’t forget there is yoga on the pool. Deck every Sunday from 11:15 to noon on Aug. 11 and 25.
•Swimming songs and stories, sponsored by the Babylon Public Library is held Mondays from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Aug. 5 and 12.
•Adult water aerobics by John Mo-
loney is held 1 to 2 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Finally, there is live music on Sun., Aug. 4 with The Ed Travers Band; Aug. 18 with Graceland’s Gate and Sept. 1 with Jonny Ray.
The concession manned by Delica-Sea is also open.
Police and West Babylon Fire Department volunteers rushed to the scene of a motor vehicle accident in West Babylon during the early-morning hours of Sun., July 28. When they arrived, they discovered that a car struck a home at 128 Great East Neck Road, south of Crocus Court, stopping just ten feet away from a living room where two residents of the home were seated.
First on the scene was 2nd Ass’t Chief John Manzi who radioed the conditions there to the other volunteers. Within two minutes, Suffolk County Police and the Emergency Services Unit and West Babylon Fire Department volunteers arrived. Volunteers im-mediately began working to extricate the victim from the vehicle.
“It took us about 40 minutes to remove the victim from the vehicle,” said West Babylon Fire Chief Steve Kamalic. “Once we had him out of the car we had to take him through the side doors and out of the back of the house because of all of the debris around the vehicle.”
Police said the driver, Cristian Banega-Salmendares was operating a 2023 Dodge SUV southbound on Great East Neck Road when he lost control of the vehicle, went off the roadway, struck a low concrete wall, flipped into the air, and crashed into the residence.
Banega-Salmendares, 27, of West Babylon, along with
Anna Baptiste, 46, and Michel Baptiste, 45, a married couple living in the residence, were transported to Good Sa-maritan University Hospital in West Islip for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The Babylon Town Fire Marshall and Building Inspector were called to the scene to assess damage to the home.
Police said no charges have been filed.
The investigation is continuing.
Just a few hours later, West Babylon was called out again for a three-car accident only 100 feet from the home at 128 Great East Neck Road.
“It was a rough night,” said Kamalic. “We had 30 calls within a 48-hour period and I want to thank all the members for their work that night, and the Suffolk County Police Department for their cooperation that allowed us to do our job.”

JOIN US FOR THIS UNIQUE 25-MILE CYCLING EVENT. RIDE ALONGSIDE THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR JOURNEY TO RECOVERY.
More than 1,100 riders took part in the Annual Soldier Ride July 19, the largest group to take part in the event in its 17-year history. The event, sponsored by the Town of Babylon, in partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project, united hundreds of community participants and 40 wounded U.S. military veterans for a 25-mile journey from Babylon Town Hall to Overlook Beach.
“We come every year to support our veterans,” said Melissa Simone who attended this year’s event with Phyllis Bavero. “It’s the least we can do.”
Bavero knows well the sacrifices of veterans and their families. Her husband Vincent served in Vietnam from 1966 to 1967 and died from exposure to agent orange. “I am here today to. represent him,” she said.
The event kicked off with a heartfelt ceremony at 9 a.m., where Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer warmly welcomed the participants and acknowledged the significance of the event.
“The Soldier Ride exemplifies our community’s commitment to honoring and supporting our veterans. Each year, we come together to help these brave individuals find strength and healing through camaraderie and shared experience,” Supervisor Schaffer remarked.

Councilman and Veterans Advisory Council Chair DuWayne Gregory emphasized, “This event is more than just a ride; it’s a celebration of resilience and community spirit. Our veterans deserve our unwavering support, and the Soldier Ride provides a platform for that.”
If interested in being a sponsor, please contact signatureevents@woundedwarriorproject.org
Wounded Warrior Project CEO Walt Piatt addressed the crowd, noting the profound impact the ride has on the veterans and the community. Marine Veteran and Adaptive Sports Director Mike Owens shared his personal journey and the importance of events like the Soldier Ride in fostering recovery and empowerment for veterans. The ride concluded at Overlook Beach, where participants, veterans, their families, and friends gathered for a celebratory barbeque, honoring the warriors’ achievements and the community’s collective effort in supporting veteran causes.
Lisa Scotto and Pat Coghlan stood with their bikes ready to ride once the ceremonies at town hall were completed. Scotto and Coghlan work for Paws of War, a non-profit organization that trains and places shelter dogs to help veterans and first responders with PTSD, said Coghlan. “This is a great event for veterans and it is our second year taking part.”
Tom Kane of Babylon said events like the Soldier Ride are important. “We give back to help anyone we can,” he said, adding that government services for veterans are not readily available. “This is a great cause.”
This year, the Babylon event raised over $160,000, with donations still pouring in, surpassing the fundraising goal. The funds will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project and Paws of War, an organization dedicated to enhancing veterans’ lives by rescuing and training service dogs. Over the past 17 years, the Town of Babylon has raised more than $1.5 million for the Wounded Warrior Project, showcasing a longstanding commitment to supporting veterans.

As we gear up for the new school year, parents and caregivers are busy preparing their students for this exciting time. From picking out new clothes and shoes to gathering school supplies and savoring the final days of summer, there's a palpable sense of anticipation. Students are eager to meet new teachers, make new friends, and embrace the fresh start that a new academic year brings. Recently, a powerful message was shared on our Facebook page that we feel is essential for all students heading back to school. It said:
“To all students returning to school: If you notice a peer struggling to make friends, being picked on, feeling left out, or eating alone, take the lead. Be a warrior. Greet them with
a smile, offer to sit with them, and make an effort to include them. You never know what challenges they might be facing.”
This message underscores the crucial role that each student plays in fostering a supportive and inclusive school environment. While new clothes, shoes, and supplies are important, it’s equally vital to equip our children with the emotional and social skills they need to contribute to a caring and welcoming community.
Let's commit to not only preparing our kids for academic success but also for emotional resilience and kindness. Together, we can ensure that every student feels valued and supported as they step into the new school year.

“We are destroying this incredible living fossil, chopping it up for bait,” New York State Assemblymember Deborah J. Glick told me in an interview last week. She is the author of a bill in the State Assembly which with a companion measure in the State Senate have passed that would protect horseshoe crabs. They would prohibit horseshoe crabs from being taken from the waters of New York State except for educational and research purposes
The legislation is now before Governor Kathy Hochul to sign or veto.
In a letter to the governor, Assemblymember Glick, a Manhattan resident with a Long Island connection—she spent several years renting on Fire Island, the shore of which is among the habitats for horseshoe crabs—wrote: “Horseshoe crabs have existed for over 400 million years. Commonly referred to as living fossils, these marine creatures predate the earliest dinosaurs by hundreds of millions of years. Their long existence on our planet has led them to be a keystone species of which many other marine and avian species rely on for their continued survival.”
Subscribers can post comments on letters to the editor and articles on the Babylon Beacon website at: babylonbeacon.com. Subscribers and nonsubscribers can also write us a letter. Send it to 2 Endo Boulevard, Garden City NY 11530 or email it to cjames@liherald.com
“Unfortunately,” wrote Glick, “humanity’s exploitation of this prehistoric species has threatened to end horseshoe crabs’ 400-million-year existence.”
Environmentalists on Long Island are enthusiastically backing the legislation and so is a global expert on horseshoe crabs, a scientist from Suffolk County, Dr. John Tanacredi, a resident of the Town of Huntington. “It needs to be done,” said Tanacredi of the proposed ban
From New York State waters, principally off Long Island’s shores, 150,000 horseshoe crabs are taken every year—mainly for bait to catch whelk and eel, said Tanacredi, director of the Center for Environmental Research and Coastal Oceans Monitoring (CERCOM) located in West Sayville, a component of Molloy University in Rockville Centre. He is a full professor of Earth and Environmental Studies at Molloy.
For many decades Tanacredi has extensively studied horseshoe crabs. He points out that horseshoe crabs aren’t all over the U.S. but are limited to the Atlantic Coast from Maine to Florida. In a presentation before the group Long Island Metro Business Action in 2021, he said they could now be “on the cusp” of local “extinction.”
The Seatuck Environmental Association, based in Islip, also in a letter to Governor Hochul, has expressed “on behalf of the board of directors and supporters” of it “the organization’s strong support” for this “horseshoe crab protection measure” and “urge you to sign the legislation into law. If done, this beleaguered species, of which approximately 3.5 million have been killed in New York State over the past quarter century for use as bait in the eel and whelk fisheries, will finally receive the protection it deserves.”
“As a result of this huge take,” said the letter, signed by Enrico Nardone, executive director of Seatuck and an attorney, and John Turner, Seatuck’s senior conservation policy advocate, “horseshoe crabs have declined precipitously in New York coastal waters, most notably at numerous sites around Long Island. Many Long Islanders
have noted the significant decline in horseshoe crab populations, recalling when the species was abundant in New York coastal waters decades ago.”
The letter says the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation “has set annual harvest quotas for the crabs at 150,000 animals and has implemented a few other measures in an effort to conserve horseshoe crab populations….Unfortunately, these strategies have failed to reverse the loss.”
“We understand there is opposition to the legislation from the Long Island Farm Bureau, representing baymen, and several companies that ‘bleed’ horseshoe crabs for the production of Limulus Ameboxyte Lysate (LAL), which is used to detect… bacteria on surgical equipment and implants. We believe their opposition is unjustified,” said the letter to the governor. Regarding bait, “there are other baits and bait formulations that have proven effective in catching both whelk and eel,” it continued.
And “there are synthetic alternatives to LAL that negate the need for companies” to “bleed” horseshoe crabs. “A new laboratory manufactured product, recombinant rFC [scientific shorthand for recombinant Factor C] is an alternative to LAL and has proven to be as effective and in some cases more effective than LAL. Not surprisingly given its effectiveness, rFC has been approved for use in Europe, where it is displacing LAL. In the United States, the U.S. Pharmacopeia is very likely to approve the use of rFC in the United States later this summer,” said Seatuck.
Seatuck is asking people to write to Governor Hochul asking her to sign the legislation. On its website—https://seatuck.org— is an “Action Alert” saying: “Your help is needed to ensure New York seizes a historic opportunity to safeguard horseshoe crab populations.”
“Please take a moment to urge Governor Hochul to enact this important measure,” it says, and lists the phone number of the governor’s office, 518-474-8390, the link to her “official contact page” and suggests, too, “mailing her a letter or postcard.”
Adrienne Esposito, executive director of a leading environmental organization here, Citizens Campaign for the Environment, says: “We have been depleting the species for decades and it is time to stop. We are incredibly excited that horseshoe crabs will finally have needed critical protections in New York State so its populations can rebound.”

Watermelon is a summertime staple. Each summer, stores and farm stands have an abundance of watermelons on display, and many people feel no picnic or barbecue is complete without watermelon.
Watermelon is a refreshing option on hot days. It’s ideal sliced and served, or can be included in fruit salads, smoothies or even “spiked” cocktails. The key to a tasty watermelon is knowing how to pick one that is ripe, while serving watermelon comes down to understanding some easy cutting strategies.
• Choose a watermelon that has a firm, symmetrical shape. Avoid melons with bumps, dents or cuts.
• Watermelons should be relatively heavy. They’re 92 percent water, and that juiciness should be reflected in a substantial weight for the melon’s size.
• Watermelon.org advises looking for a creamy yellow spot on the underside of the watermelon. This is called the “ground spot.” It indicates where the melon sat on the ground and ripened in the sun. Once cut from the vine, a watermelon has about three to four weeks to be consumed.
• All parts of the watermelon are edible, including the seeds and rind. The rind can be pickled or cut up to use in
stir-fry dishes.
When bringing watermelon to an event, it is a courtesy to bring it already sliced or cut up. This ensures the host or hostess does not have to tackle what can sometimes be a chore. Here are three techniques to cut a watermelon easily.
Cubes
1. Cut both ends off of the watermelon.
2. Stand the watermelon on one sliced end. Use the knife to slice down and cut off the rind.
3. After removing the rind from all sides of the melon, cut into discs about 1⁄2-inch in thickness.
4. Then cut those discs into cubes.
Slices
1. Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise.
2. Take one cut half and place it cutside down.
3. Cut the watermelon into slices.
4. Repeat for the other cut half. Strips
1. Cut the watermelon as you would with the slices. Rather than leaving it in large slices, turn the watermelon and cut the same size slices in the opposite direction. This creates strips that are easy for kids to grab and maneuver.
2. Repeat with the other half of the watermelon in the same manner.
Members of the Manetuck Elementary School community in the West Islip Union Free School District gathered together to celebrate the release of two rehabilitated seals returning back to the waters at
Members of the Manetuck Elementary School community in the West Islip Union Free School District gathered together to celebrate the release of two rehabilitated seals returning back to the waters at Robert Moses Beach on June 20. Thanks to the efforts of students, staff and members of the school’s community service club, Manetuck Elementary School sponsored two seals that were rescued earlier this year by the New York Marine Rescue Center. The male seal pup was rescued on the Outer Beach at Smith’s Point with a thin white rope around its
neck on April 5. The female gray pup was discovered at Ditch Plains Beach in Montauk on May 28 and was entangled in fishing line.
For the Manetuck community’s efforts, they had the opportunity to name the seals. The students chose Kyle and Matthew, a tribute to two West Islip students who tragically lost their lives last year.
The community service club has raised close to $100,000 during the past 19 years to help rehabilitate sea animals.
The Babylon Board of Education recently celebrated the service of the District’s retiring staff members as well as its newly tenured teachers and teaching assistants. The major career milestones were marked with the presence of friends and family as well as kind words
from District administrators. Babylon staff members retiring this year are:
• Elaine DiGiacomo

Joyce Gbajumo, a West Babylon, New York resident represented one of 47 companies from across the nation honored by the Chief of Navy Reserve for their exceptional support of America’s Navy Reserve Sailors during the Navy Employer Recognition Event, known as NERE, in San Diego on June 11, 2024.
Vice Adm. John B. Mustin, Chief of Navy Reserve and Commander, Navy Reserve Force, kicked off the event on board the America-class amphibious assault carrier USS Tripoli (LHA 7) with welcome remarks and certificates of appreciation to the attendees.
NERE is a Navy familiarization day sponsored by the Chief of Navy Reserve to recognize employers who provide their Reserve Sailors with superior support, allowing them to see first-hand what they do every day. Selected employers are chosen from nominations submitted by their Reserve Sailor employees.
Throughout the event, Gbajumo and the other employers had the opportunity to experience an up-close look at
some of the equipment and capabilities that exist in the Navy Reserve, including a tour of USS Tripoli and a static display of Naval Air Force Reserve’s Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR) 57. They witnessed demonstrations by the Navy Marine Mammal Program and Undersea Rescue Command. They saw displays by SEAL Team 17, Maritime Expeditionary Security Group 1, Naval Base San Diego Military Working Dog Division, and NR Naval Information Warfare Systems Command at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, Turner Field.
Mustin concluded the event with an evening reception on board USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum.
“Employers like you, who support their reserve and guard members, are an important part of our national defense structure. The time and flexibility you provide for our sailors to train during long drill weekends and their two weeks of annual training… and often again during mobilizations that can last anywhere from a few months to several years… is invaluable to our reserve force, our joint force, and our nation. I can assure you, the phenomenal support you provide is consequential and appreciated,” Mustin said.

Many homeowners relish any opportunity to retreat to their back yards, where they can put up their feet and relax in the great outdoors. That retreat-like escape is made even more relaxing when sitting around a fire pit.
Fire pits can be found in millions of suburban backyards across the globe. Fire pits have become so popular that a 2016 survey of landscape architects conducted by the American Society of Landscape Architects revealed they were the most sought after outdoor design element. Fire pits remain wildly popular a half decade after that survey. Homeowners who are only now joining the fire pit revolution can keep these dos and don’ts in mind as they plan their summer s’mores sessions.
DO keep the fire pit a safe distance away from the home. Fire pits should be located a safe distance from the home at all times, but especially when they’re in use. Home design experts recommend keeping fire pits a minimum of 10 to 20 feet away from a house or other structure, such as a shed or a detached garage. The further away the fire is from houses and other structures, the less likely those structures are to catch on fire.
DON’T place the fire pit beneath trees or next to shrubs. Though fire pits
should be kept safe distances away from a house and other structures, it’s important that they’re not placed beneath trees or next to shrubs. Shrubs and low hanging branches can easily catch embers and be lit ablaze, so make sure fire pits are not placed in locations that increase that risk.
DO clean out seasonal debris. It can be tempting to let seasonal debris resting inside the fire pit burn away during the season’s first s’mores session. But burning debris poses a serious safety risk, as embers can easily be blown out of the fire pit and catch nearby trees or shrubs or even a home on fire. The National Fire Protection Association advises homeowners that embers blowing from a backyard fire pose the same threat to homes as if they are from a wildfire.
DON’T let fire pits burn near flammable materials. Store firewood piles a safe distance away from the fire pit while it’s in operation. It may be convenient to keep firewood right next to the fire pit while the fire is burning, but that increases the risk that embers will land on firewood and start a fire outside of the pit.
DO check the weather report prior to starting the fire. Windy weather increases the risk of embers blowing around and potentially landing on the house,
other structures around the property or trees. If the weather report is calling for gusting winds, burn a fire on another night.
DON’T leave a fire pit fire burning. Unattended recreational fires are illegal and incredibly dangerous. Homeowners should never leave fire pit fires burning unattended or allow fires to slowly die out overnight. Always extinguish the fire before going inside and stop adding wood to the fire roughly one hour be-
fore you plan to go inside. Water or sand can be poured on ashes to extinguish the fire. Once homeowners are confident a fire has been extinguished, ashes can be spread around to ensure there are no hot spots still burning. If there are, start the extinguishing process over again.
A night around the fire pit is a summertime tradition in many households. Safety must be as much a part of such traditions as s’mores.

Do dogs smell our stress? A new study out of the United Kingdom published last week in the journal “Scientific Reports”, suggests that dogs do smell when people are stressed, and this seems to make the dogs less hopeful. The findings were reported after collaboration between the University of Bristol, Cardiff University, and the British non-profit Medical Detection Dogs.
People and dogs have been best friends for at least 25,000 years—ever since wolf-like canids approached early humans to share their tasty meat. In time, it dawned on the early humans that these canids were better hunters than they were, so both would benefit if they partnered to hunt for more meat.
Over time, dogs fine-tuned their skills at reading human emotions. Dogs can detect visual and verbal clues from their owners. Prior research has shown dogs can pick up the odor of stress in human sweat. The new British study shows canines can smell human stress because of the higher levels of the hormone cortisol, (like service dogs that are trained to alert people certain medical conditions), and the dogs react to this stress finding emotionally.
cations— a marker of a positive emotional state. A slow approach indicated ‘pessimism’ and negative emotion. The dogs were put into three groups and smelled sweat samples from one of the three volunteers. When the dogs smelled the sample from a stressed volunteer, they were less likely to approach the bowl in one of the ambiguous locations, suggesting they thought the bowl did not contain a treat. Previous research has shown that an expectation of a negative outcome reflects a pessimistic mood in dogs. The results imply that when dogs are around stressed people, they are more negative about uncertain situations, whereas being near relaxed individuals does not have this effect.
A recent study in England suggests not only can dogs smell people’s stress, but doing so makes the dogs pessimistic.
Dogs are known for their incredible sense of smell. With noses up to 10,000 times more sensitive than our own, canines can sniff out bombs, track down missing people and sense illness in humans. Now, in a first-ofits-kind study, researchers have discovered that smelling stressed-out humans may influence how a dog behaves.
How the stress detection study was set up: The University of Bristol-led study is the first to assess how human stress odors affect dogs’ learning and emotional states. Scientists there recruited 18 dogs of various breeds and their owners. The participating dogs ranged from eight months to 10 years old and consisted of two Springer Spaniels; two Cocker Spaniels; two Labrador Retrievers; two Pointers; a Whippet; a Golden Retriever; a Miniature Poodle and seven mixed breed dogs.
Meanwhile, 11 volunteers, unfamiliar with these dogs, were put through a stress test involving public speaking and math computation while samples of their underarm sweat were collected on cloths. Next the volunteers were treated to a relaxation exercise, watching a nature video while sitting on a beanbag chair in dim light. New sweat samples were taken. Sweat samples from only three of the volunteers were used with the dogs.
The 18 dogs had been trained to know that a food bowl at one location contained a treat, and a bowl at another location did not. During testing, bowls without treats were sometimes placed in one of three “ambiguous” locations. Once a dog learned the difference between the bowl locations, they were faster to approach the location with a treat than the empty location. Researchers believed a quick approach reflected ‘optimism’ about food being present in ambiguous lo-
Interpreting the results: Zoe Parr-Cortes, lead study author and a Ph.D. student at Bristol Veterinary School said, “For thousands of years, dogs have learned to live with us, and their evolution has been alongside us. Being able to sense stress from another member of the pack was beneficial.”
Katherine A. Houpt, a professor emeritus of behavioral medicine at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine, who was not involved in the new study, suggests that the smell of stress may have reduced the dogs’ hunger because it is known to impact appetite. “It might not be that it’s changing their decision-making but more that it’s changing their motivation for food,” she says. “It makes sense because when you’re super stressed, you’re not quite as interested in that candy bar.”
JFK - 9 Month Old Male Tabby found alone in Kennedy Airport parking lot.
Study lead author Dr. Nicola Rooney, Senior Lecturer in Wildlife and Conservation at Bristol Veterinary School, said: “Understanding how human stress affects dogs’ well-being is an important consideration for dogs in kennels and when training companion dogs and dogs as assistance dogs. Dog owners know how attuned their pets are to their emotions, but here we show that even the odor of a stressed, unfamiliar human affects a dog’s emotional state, perception of rewards, and ability to learn.”
Dr. Rooney added: “Working dog handlers often describe stress traveling down the lead, but we’ve also shown it can also travel through the air.”
This last statement is the most crucial point. Our stress is contagious to our dogs. It travels down the leash like an electric current, and through the air like a black cloud. Your stress can become a self-fulfilling prophecy for your dog’s behavior.

Two new probationary teachers, a social worker and a leave replacement director for special education have recently been hired by the Babylon Union Free School District. Hana Lepore and Conor Smith will serve as special education teachers at Babylon Junior-Senior High School; Taylor Longo will serve as a social worker at Babylon Memorial Grade School, with split responsibilities at Babylon Elementary School and Dr. Angela Austin will serve as a temporary leave replacement as the District Director of Special Education.
Lepore has already been serving as a special education co-teacher at the high school since December 2023. Smith comes to Babylon from Pierson Middle-
High School in Sag Harbor, where he was a special education teacher. Longo previously served as a social worker at Tooker Elementary School in neighboring West Babylon. Dr. Austin comes to Babylon from Valley Stream 24 Union Free School District, where she was Director of Pupil Services and has more than a decade of experience in education administration.
“We welcome these new staff members who will fulfill vital roles in our district,” said Superintendent Carisa Manza. “We wish Hana Lepore, Conor Smith and Taylor Longo the best of luck as they continue their young careers in our schools, and we thank Dr. Austin for lending her deep expertise to our special education department.”
West Babylon Senior High School showed off the many talents of its student-artists during the school’s annual art show on June 5. The walls and hallways were filled with the many one-of-a-kind pieces developed by the artists this school year. Guests were able to view the creations which included ceramics, watercolors, cartoons, portraits and more from the different levels of classes offered at the high school. The Peace Crane Project was also on display. The project invites students to fold an origami crane, write a message of peace on its wings, then exchange it with another student somewhere in the world.

like the mayor and other board members, that there were too many unanswered questions, he would have liked to see the applicants have more time to work with the village on a clearly defined plan.
DHT has bar/restaurants in Massapequa Park, Farmingdale, and Rockville Centre.
Bryan McDermott, DHT president, said their plans for Babylon included one-piece acoustic music during dining hours, which would end at 10 p.m. He reiterated that the restaurant would comply with all Village codes and ordinances, including parking.
“We are proud of our establishments and want to be part of the Babylon Village experience,” he told the board at the June 25 hearing.
At the hearing, DHT presented the proposal to take over the Argyle for a full-service restaurant called The Dark Horse Tavern. McDermott told the board that they would be revamping the menu and making some interior renovations to the premises, including removing two of the tables in the back of the bar area and removing a wall. All the other tables were to remain.
McDermott said the reconfiguration of the tables was to bring the bar area into the dining area to allow for private parties or events.
Plans also called for televisions in the bar and dining areas throughout the establishment, maintaining the 12 outdoor seats for service until 10:30 or 11 p.m. The restaurant was to be open from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.
Trustee Dominic Bencivenga asked the applicants if there would be jukebox, dancing or live music, saying that the hours seemed to accommodate those of a bar rather than a restaurant.
Peter Phelan of Massapequa, a spokesman for DHT, said he was waiting for documents from the village and had no comment on the board’s decision. Other DHT partners include Chris Daro of Commack and Joseph Mantovani of Massapequa. In other business, the board awarded Babylon Village $50,000 from the town’s ARPA funds to support the construction of a park and fountain to honor all first responders who served during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The next Village Board of Trustees meeting is Tues., Aug. 13, 8 p.m., Village Hall court room, 153 W. Main St., Babylon

"The Comptroller's report underscores the critical role IDAs play in fostering economic growth,” said Tom Dolan, CEO of the Babylon IDA. “We are committed to continuing our efforts in attracting and supporting businesses that bring valuable jobs and opportunities to our community while ensuring accountability and transparency in our operations."
The 173 active projects benefited from $39.4 million in tax exemptions and $22.2 million in PILOTs (payments in lieu of taxes}, resulting in a net tax exemption of $17.2 million. The IDA’s efforts have retained 7,156 jobs while adding more than 6,200 positions. Before the IDA's involvement, there were an estimated 7,156 full-time equivalent jobs; that has increased to 15,200.
Statewide, the IDAs supported 4,320 active projects in 2022, with a record total value of $132 billion, marking a $5 billion increase from 2021. The projects are projected to create over 213,000 jobs and retain an additional 224,000 positions. IDA projects collectively received nearly $2 billion in tax exemptions, with property tax exemptions comprising $1.7 billion of this total.
PILOTs amounted to approximately $854 million, resulting in net tax exemptions of about $1.1 billion.
Downstate regions, including Long Island, accounted for a significant portion of these net tax exemptions, demonstrating the high level of economic activity and investment facilitated by IDAs in these areas.
“This agency remains dedicated to enhancing the local economy by supporting sustainable projects that meet the needs of our community and grow our future tax base,” Dolan added.

Vincent A. Caravana
In speaking to the school board’s decision to appoint Caravana, school board president Donna Hochman said:
“We chose Mr. Caravana because of his alignment with district goals and values and his desire to create new goals for the future; because he is familiar with all levels of staff and he brings skills that create a rich learning environment and because he actively engages in the community in his new role.”
Caravana is a Lindenhurst High School graduate and he said what makes the Lindenhurst community special is how friendly and welcoming it is.
“We have a very family-like atmosphere here, and everyone really looks out for each other,” he said.
“I’ve never seen a place with such a sense of synergy, camaraderie, and unified sense of spirit.”
Looking forward, one of his priorities will be to expand the district’s career and technical educatioofferings to give students additional paths to success after graduation. “We always talk about college and career readiness, but the emphasis has more often been on college readiness,” he said. “I think students should be presented with the opportunity of pursuing what they love, whatever it might be.”
