Newspapers Have Helped Shape The World
Newspapers have helped shape the world for decades, serving as invaluable resources that highlight both national and local news, retail information, cultural events, and much more. Although several newspapers now offer online versions of their publications, many readers remain partial to print versions. Those who purchase printed newspapers daily or subscribe to home delivery should consider recycling the papers to protect the planet. According to the environmental resource EarthEcho International, recycling a single run of the Sunday issue of The New York Times - or a comparable paper’s Sunday edition - would save 75,000 trees.
The Massapequa Coast Little League Intermediate Williamsport All-Star Team captured the New York State Championship with an exciting 14-10 victory, earning the title of New York State Champions.
Managed by Keith Lermayer, with coaches Jon Henchy and Eric Solnick, the championship team includes Jack Burke, Samuel Chang, Mason Graham, James Henchy, Jackson Lermayer, Dylon Lyons, William Martin, Dominick Podmore, Michael Sessa, Thomas Solnick, Tyler Stevens, and William Vogt.
Congratulations to the players, coaches, and families on this outstanding achievement and for proudly representing the Massapequa community.

Summer is full of opportunities to rest and unwind. It’s also a prime time for vacations, road trips and enjoying activities close to home. According to InsureMyTrip, millennials travel the most during summer, with July consistently ranking as the busiest month. Transportation Security Administration records also show that several July dates are among the busiest travel days.
Summer breaks and vacation time make it the perfect season to have fun, but not everyone has the budget for lavish trips or costly excursions. Fortunately, plenty of memorable experiences are affordable. Here are a few low-cost ideas. Local sports game Major League Baseball games can be expensive, but minor league teams offer the excitement of live sports at a fraction of the cost. Smaller crowds and nearby stadiums make them an affordable family outing.
Fairs and carnivals
A day at a major amusement park can cost a family of four anywhere from $370 to more than $1,100 before food and drinks, according to BestLifeOnline. com. Church carnivals and county fairs are often much more affordable and still feature rides, games and entertainment.
Day at the beach
A beach day is a classic summer outing. Visit different beaches throughout the season and save money by purchasing beach tags before summer begins. Many beaches also offer free or low-cost admission.
