There have been numerous improvements across the Village including the new turf field at Village Park’s Kienle Field, the beautification of South Wellwood Avenue, various roadwork projects, and the construction of a new Department of Public Works building. All of which were developed to better serve and support our community. MICHAEL A. LAVORATA Mayor RICHARD J. RENNA Deputy Mayor DOUGLAS MADLON
I would like to thank the Business Improvement District (BID) for their “spooky” contribution to the downtown this year! I hope you had a chance to check out the Halloween decorations that were new to Village Square Park this year.

A Hearty Stew Tailor-Made For St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations

St. Patrick’s Day is a festive day in which people from all walks of life embrace Irish culture. Celebrated right in the middle of March, St. Patrick’s Day calls for hearty fare that those who have been to the Emerald Isle know is a staple of the Irish diet. This year, anyone looking to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and stay warm in the process, can enjoy this recipe for “Irish Stew With Lamb and Potatoes” courtesy of Lines+Angles.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat the oil in a large pot and sear the meat. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Cook the onions and carrots in the pan for 3 minutes. Return the meat to the pot, season with salt and ground black pepper and deglaze with the stock. Cover and simmer on a low heat for 40 minutes.
Irish
Stew With Lamb and Potatoes
Serves 6
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 3⁄4 pound lamb neck, on the bone, thickly sliced
4 small onions, diced
2 carrots, sliced
6 cups beef stock
8 to 10 small waxy potatoes, halved or quartered depending on size
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
3. Add the potatoes to the pot, cover and cook for another 30 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Season to taste and serve garnished with parsley.





STATE UTILITIES


The Spring Equinox
State Utilities is a major oil dealer on Long Island providing heating fuel to residents and businesses in Nassau and Suffolk County; we offer on-line fuel ordering, delivery, and full service heating oil contracts.
State Utilities takes pride in supplying fuel you need to heat your home and/or office to the comfort level you desire. Winter can be long and brutal, and should your burner fail to start it can become a crucial disaster. It is comforting to have full service during this disruption by contacting us by telephone or Email, no matter what the weather outside.
Celebrating 74 years in business, we are grateful to the many generations of loyal customers who have entrusted State Utilities with their interior comfort. Thank you.

There’s much to celebrate on the Spring Equinox, which is also referred to as the “Vernal Equinox” or the “March Equinox” and marks the official beginning of spring, a season many people associate with rejuvenation and longer hours of daylight. One unusual aspect of the equinoxes (the Autumnal Equinox in September ushers in the beginning of fall) is these days feature the fastest sunsets and sunrises of the year. According to Earthsky. org, this phenomenon occurs because the sun rises due east and sets due west on the equinoxes, which means the setting sun hits the horizon at its steepest possible angle. That steep angle leads to a very short sunrise and sunset on the equinoxes. Traditionally, we celebrate the first day of spring on March 21, but astronomers and calendar manufacturers alike now say that the spring season starts on March 20 in all time zones in North America.
