From The Desk Of Mayor Ralph Ekstrand Welcome 2024!! Daler Strong!! Just a few reminders, updates and announcements. The Board of Trustees and myself are proud of our community and all those that supported the Farmingdale School District band members, families, students, and all affected by the tragic bus accident. Truly amazing efforts - we extend thanks to everyone that contributed with prayers, fundraisers, care packages, food deliveries, healthcare, comfort and more!
Reminder to All Farmingdale Village Residents: Now that winter is here - just a reminder to remove your vehicles from the street so that our Department of Public Works can plow the streets properly during snow storms / until 24 hours after the snow has stopped. Please remember during snow storms to try to park cars off the Streets (even on a Lawn) so DPW crews can do their job plowing Curbto Curb, and also clear Fire Hydrants near homes. Safety and effective snow clearing are priorities. During and after snow storms, our DPW department works diligently clearing our roads and parking lots in order to make roadways passable and to open the business district and enable commuters to get to work in the shortest time possible. We thank all of the DPW staff for their tireless efforts and truly appreciate their hard work and dedication! Thank you for your cooperation. For emergencies (Water Main Breaks, etc.) call the Farmingdale Fire Department NonEmergency Line (516) 5319820.

proud piece of Oyster Bay history which dates back to the time of the Revolutionary War, as British troops occupied Long Island homes. During the height of the American Revolutionary War, love improbably blossomed between Lt. Col Simcoe and a young patriot named Sally Townsend as the Townsend property served as a headquarters for a regiment of 300 British troops. Lt. Col. Simcoe presented Sally with a poem he wrote asking her to be his Valentine, and his famous poem, entitled ‘Will You Be My Valentine,’ became the first documented written Valentine in America.

Farmingdale State College Alum Donates $750K For Student-Managed Investment Fund Farmingdale State College (FSC) announced the establishment of the Murray Pasternack ’60 Student-Managed Investment Fund here today, supported by a gift of $750,000 from Mr. Pasternack, one of FSC’s most active and largest alumni supporters, and his life partner, Judy Berkowitz. The newly created fund will support the FSC Student-Managed Investment Fund and the renovation of the new “Murray Pasternack ’60 Finance and Trading Room,” complete with stock market ticker displays, 16 Bloomberg Terminals and individual subscriptions to the Barron’s & MarketWatch education program for students to advance their finance education. “I am at a point in life that allows me to reflect back on the path I took and to thank those institutions that helped me achieve my goals,” said Pasternack. “I can’t think of a better way to thank the school that contributed greatly to my success, than to provide the tools needed to train the next generation.” “Murray’s generous and continued philanthropic support has had a profound impact on our longestablished tradition as an
engine of opportunity to high achieving, working class students of Long Island, and offers our students the resources to help them reimagine what’s possible,” said FSC President John S. Nader, PhD. “We are deeply grateful to Murray for this studentfocused funding, which will create an unprecedented learning experience for FSC students interested in security analysis, portfolio management and more. It will also afford our students the opportunity to be better educated and informed for their own personal financial wellbeing,” said Matthew Colson, FSC vice president for development & alumni engagement. Under the guidance of a Faculty Advisor and an Alumni Advisory Council of additional investors at $10,000 a member, FSC students will operate as a boutique trading firm, to oversee the Murray Pasternack ‘60 StudentManaged Investment Fund with a starting portfolio budget of $500,000. The students will manage assets on behalf of the Farmingdale College Foundation, for the School of Business. The Fund offers an applied learning experience by providing relevant, real-world
learning and application of concepts of asset valuation, equity research, and portfolio management. “This experience will help set a Farmingdale graduate apart when applying for jobs after college,” said Richard Vogel, dean for the School of Business. “Our students will have more experience and a competitive advantage to be successful in their professional careers and personal wealth management when they leave FSC.” The new investment fund also supports the renovation of a thirdfloor School of Business classroom into the Murray
Pasternack ’60 Finance and Trading Room, a leading-edge collaborative space that will simulate a trading room experience. Students can develop their asset management skills with access to technology used by top financial institutions, including investment software, subscriptions, and real-time business data using 16 dualmonitored Bloomberg workstations and two new LCD television screens at the front of the lab. Through the fund, the School of Business lobby and trading lab entrance will feature newly installed stock market
ticker displays, which will provide financial market news, U.S. market indexes, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, currencies, commodities, and stock price changes for the top 100 U.S. stocks. The ticker information is provided by Rise Display, Inc., which receives the stock price feed from Reuters. The fund will also provide students full access to Barron’s & MarketWatch, a valuable financial program with industry-leading financial websites. “The goal is to spur financial education, learn from investing’s best minds, and foster professional growth,” said Colson. “Our students will have access to the same real-time content that provides perspective, insights, and analysis utilized by the most successful business professionals. This is truly an investment in their future.” Last year, FSC dedicated the Murray Pasternack (’60) Lab for Radio Frequency and Microwave Technology located in Lupton Hall, and commemorated his $1.4 million gift to FSC, the largest individual gift made in the College’s history. Previously,
Pasternack provided two $500,000 gifts to support the launch of FSC’s Honors Program which provides 20 annual scholarships to engineering technology honors students. “It is extremely rewarding to hear from the students that have benefited from the scholarship program I funded,” said Pasternack. “Also, it has been very rewarding to hear from the faculty and students that are using the new state-of-the-art Radio Frequency and Microwave Laboratory.” He looks forward to the same with this new gift to the School of Business, he added. Originally from Franklin Square, NY, Pasternack received his AAS degree in electrical technology from FSC. He was founder and CEO of Pasternack Enterprises in Irvine, California from 1972 to 1992, a worldclass supplier of radio frequency and microwave components, where his signature catalog became the industry standard. “Our hope is that the gifts we have given, and those we will give in the future, will provide a life changing education for students from working class families,” he said.
