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.

4 small onions, diced

2 carrots, sliced

6 cups beef stock

8 to 10 small waxy potatoes, halved or quartered depending on size

in playground equipment to help make Weckerle Park more accessible to all children. Securing that grant depends on your vote.

You can vote for our project using this QR code and can vote once every day until voting closes on March 17:

Our Community includes families with children of varying abilities and many existing playgrounds do not fully meet the needs of children who use mobility devices or require adaptive equipment. An inclusive playground at Weckerle Park will allow children of all abilities to play side by side, fostering understanding, cooperation, confidence, empathy and friendships from early age.

Weckerle Park is named in honor of Lieutenant Edward Weckerle -- a long-time Lindenhurst resident, decorated World War I hero, fire department captain and police lieutenant. The park was dedicated in his honor in November of 1958 when his brother donated the land for the purpose of a park.

Eagle Scout Lorenzo Napolitano Completes His Eagle Scout Project

Lorenzo Napolitano of Scout Troop 399 North Babylon completed his Eagle Scout project on February 7, 2026, one of the coldest days this winter. The benefactor of the project was St. Paul’s Reformed Church in North Babylon. To aid the food pantry run by the church, Lorenzo designed, constructed, and erected a drop box shelter for food donations to the pantry.

Students Serve Up Spanish In Real-World Speaking Assessment

Students in Ms. Camila Acuna’s Spanish classes at North Babylon High School recently demonstrated their language skills through an engaging, realworld speaking assessment to conclude their food unit.

As part of the project, students performed restaurant-style dialogues, taking on the roles of servers and customers. The classroom was transformed

into a restaurant setting, creating an immersive environment where students practiced ordering food, asking questions and holding conversations entirely in Spanish.

The interactive lesson allowed students to build confidence in their speaking abilities while applying vocabulary and grammar in a practical way. By simulating

real-life scenarios, students strengthened their communication skills and gained a deeper understanding of conversational Spanish. The creative assessment highlighted student engagement and showcased how experiential learning can make language instruction both meaningful and fun.
