Suffolk County Legislator Kevin J. McCaffrey recently partnered with The Argyle Theatre at Babylon Village to showcase improvements to the facility made possible by Suffolk County JumpSMART funding! Renovations to the historical theatre, which dates back to 1922, included an exterior facelift with new lighting, fresh paint, and a new marquee; as well as a new 19-foot mahogany bar, a new tin-inspired ceiling, upgraded lighting fixtures, an improved sound system, and upgrades to the production capabilities of the theatre. Further, accessibility and the bones of the building received a refresh, with upgrades to the women’s restroom (which has doubled in size, adding four new stalls and sinks), a new roof, updated

A Slower Start to 2026 By JoAnn Cilla January has a way of slowing things down, whether we want it to or not. The holidays are over, the decorations are packed away, and the calendar suddenly feels a little lighter. And yet, many of us feel a crazy urge to fill it up as fast as possible. New goals, new routines, new commitments. What if January wasn’t meant for rushing? After weeks of noise and nonstop activity, this month gives us something rare…room to think. Before the year speeds up on its own, January lets us hit the pause button to decide how we want to spend our valuable time and energy. One of the smartest things we can do right now is reclaim our time. December takes time from us; January gives us a chance to take it back. It does not mean doing more or becoming more

JOANN CILLA productive overnight. It means noticing where our time goes and being honest about what feels meaningful and what simply feels automatic. It also means identifying time robbers – the people and activities that steal our time. Many of us move through the year fueled by momentum. This month, look at the big picture to see what drains you. What gives you energy? What do you say yes to out of habit

rather than intention? Instead of jumping into a list of resolutions, take time to ask better questions. What really matters to me this year? What can I let go of? What would make my days feel calmer instead of more crowded? Good questions slow us down in the right way. They help us make thoughtful choices rather than rushed ones. They remind us that a good year isn’t built in a week. It’s built gradually, through small thoughtful decisions. January doesn’t need to be loud or ambitious. If we think before we rush, protect our time more carefully, and ask better questions, we give the rest of the year a much stronger foundation. As this new year unfolds, maybe the best place to start is simply paying attention. Permit yourself to slow down and see what comes up. In the meantime, I’ll see you around town.

his deﬁnitive phrasing, and his extraordinaryth musicality; all of which remain immediately identiﬁable today… is a fully arranged, multi-media Celebration of the SINATRA Songbook and of the life and musical legacy of this great American Icon, over the past Century plus, since his birth in 1915. Singing the tunes made famous by Sinatra, while also offering a compellingly personal, insightful, and humorous commentary, is veteran Broadway Star, Recording Artist, and Concert Headliner,

“A musical worth shouting about!”

SAL V IVIANO

who also worked with and recorded for many of the Songwriters whose songs Sinatra popularized. “… a luxuriant Vocalist with effortless style” “…Viviano’s enormous presence captures hearts and minds in one spellbinding moment after another…”

“… a clarion and richly-colored voice with a mellow, saxophone-like timbre...” “He’s a guy whom you suspect doesn’t take himself too seriously… with a smooth delivery and buckets of charm that created instant rapport with the crowd…”

“ …the format requires considerable versatility… Sal Viviano is exceptional in this regard; he’s a charming comic presence throughout . . . “

“With a rich romantic fervor, Sal Viviano possesses a beguiling subtlety, and an almost serene dignity that could be his trademark . . .” “Throughout the evening, Viviano skillfully demonstrated that the STANDARDS are sublimely within his wheelhouse…"

In one hit song after another, Sal Viviano pays tribute to the legendary style and romantic musical gifts that “Ol’ Blue Eyes” gave to us all.

Eagle Scout Emery Cosci Honored For Service And Leadership

Congratulations to Eagle Scout Emery Cosci on achieving the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout—an exceptional accomplishment that reflects years of dedication, leadership, and commitment to service. Emery’s Eagle Scout project exemplifies compassion and a strong sense of community. Partnering with the Islip Animal Shelter, she completed two impactful initiatives designed to improve the safety and care of animals while supporting shelter staff. Her first project involved constructing a ramp in the shelter’s outdoor area, providing dogs with a safe space to exercise and practice navigating steps.

Her second project involved designing and creating a rolling cart that enabled staff to safely transport cages to and from the isolation room, where sick cats are treated. Town of Babylon Councilman Terence McSweeney praised Emery’s work, stating, “Earning the rank of Eagle Scout is no small feat, and Emery’s project shows a level of compassion and leadership well beyond her years. She identified a real need in our community and took action to make a lasting difference.” Councilman Tony Martinez added, “Emery’s dedication to helping animals who cannot advocate for themselves is truly inspiring. Her project is a perfect example of how

young leaders can positively impact both people and organizations in our community.” Councilman Anthony Manetta echoed those sentiments, saying, “This is what Scouting is all about— service, leadership, and giving back. Emery’s work at the Animal Shelter will benefit animals and staff for years to come, and our community is better because of her efforts.” Emery’s thoughtful, service-driven work embodies the very best of Scouting and the principle of service above self. Her leadership and heart have made a meaningful and lasting impact on the community.

Sen. Martinez Honors Fallen Officers, Supports Families

Americans across the country will observe National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and in New York, state Sen. Monica R. Martinez announced the signing of legislation she sponsored to support the families of fallen law enforcement officers. The measure authorizes local governments to provide a property tax exemption of up to 50% on the primary residence of a surviving spouse of a police officer killed in the line of duty. Municipalities must opt in before the exemption can be applied, and have the option to reduce the percentage of tax relief benefit provided within their localities. The law enforcement tax abatement legislation was the second first responder survivor tax relief bill sponsored by Sen. Martinez during the 2025 legislative session to be signed into law. In December, Gov. Kathy Hochul also signed legislation that allows municipalities to opt in to extending the property tax exemption to surviving spouses of volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers who were killed in the line of duty after serving between two and five years. Under prior law, only spouses of volunteers with at least five years of service were eligible to receive the exemption. “Members of law enforcement face inherent dangers on each tour they

serve,” Sen. Martinez said. “When an officer is killed in the line of duty, surviving spouses are left to continue through both loss and financial strain without the support their partner once provided. This legislation recognizes that reality and offers assistance to help them maintain stability during an incredibly painful experience.” Law enforcement officers face real and ongoing danger in the course of their work. More than 800,000 officers nationwide put themselves at risk each day to protect their communities, according to data shared by law enforcement advocacy organizations. In 2025 alone, 111 officers died in the line of duty, and hundreds more were injured by gunfire or assaulted while performing their duties.

National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day was established in 2015 by Concerns of Police Survivors, a national nonprofit that supports the families of fallen officers. The observance calls on the public to recognize the dedication of law enforcement officers and the sacrifices made not only by those who serve, but also by the families who stand behind them. Americans are encouraged to show their support through simple acts, including wearing blue, sending messages of thanks, and acknowledging officers in their communities. Since the country’s founding in 1776, more than 25,000 law enforcement officers have died in the line of duty, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page.

New York Blood Center Declares Blood Emergency Amid Sharp Post-Holiday Donation Drop New York Blood Center (NYBC) has declared a blood emergency, urging immediate donations as supplies fall to critically low levels. Holiday disruptions, severe winter storms, canceled blood drives, and widespread seasonal illness have caused donations to drop nearly 40% below hospital demand, leaving less than a twoday supply for more than 200 hospitals across the tri-state area. Recent challenges include

major snowstorms that halted travel and blood drives, record flu activity with over 71,000 cases reported in a single week, and holiday timing that eliminated two weeks of peak midweek collections—resulting in about 10,000 fewer donations than needed. “Blood is needed every single day for trauma care, surgeries, cancer treatment, and chronic conditions,” said Jeannie Mascolino, NYBC Vice President

of Blood Operations. Although January is National Blood Donor Month, the need is urgent now due to blood’s limited shelf life. NYBC encourages eligible donors to schedule an appointment by calling 1-800933-2566 or visiting nybc. org. Those unable to donate can still help by volunteering or supporting NYBC’s mission financially at nybc.org/supportus.

Did You Know?

The National Football League (NFL) was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA). The first-ever NFL game was played at Triangle Park in Dayton, Ohio, on October 3, 1920. In that contest, the hometown Dayton Triangles defeated the Columbus Panhandles 14-0. Though the Dayton Triangles were eventually purchased by a Brooklynbased syndicate and relocated to New York as a result of that transaction, the team’s status as the host of the first NFL game continues to pay dividends for residents of the southwestern Ohio city where the franchise ushered in the now wildly popular league. In recognition of the place the city of Dayton holds in NFL history, the NFL Foundation, in partnership with FieldTurf & Vasco, pledged to fund the installment of a new artificial turf at the city’s Kettering Park.
