Aging men and women may be tempted to eschew home cooking entirely. After all, there are plenty of convenient frozen or takeout foods available that can be whipped up in a snap. However, there are certain benefits to cooking your own meals. John Moore, DO, an Aetna medical director and senior health specialist, says that cooking can be good for helping to stave off cognitive decline. Dr. Moore notes that, when cooking, the mind is put to use following a recipe and learning new skills and tasks. Furthermore, cooking for oneself can boost seniors’ self-confidence, reassuring them that they can handle an important daily task without having to rely on their family for meals. As long as it is deemed safe (i.e., no sign of cognitive decline), seniors should be encouraged to continue cooking.

Did You Know? electrical outlets to power their devices, and as a result they may turn to extension cords or power strips. While that may seem like an easy fix, it is easy to inadvertently overload outlets and circuits by connecting more than one power strip or extension cord together in a practice known as “daisy chaining.”

According to the U.S. Office of Compliance, using a daisy chain in the workplace violates the National Electrical Code as well as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s rules. While it may not break code at home, overloading any outlets increases risk for fire. The National Fire Protection

Association indicates that more than 45,000 residential fires are started each year due to electrical failure and malfunction. Overload causes products to overheat, and that can spark fires in the power cords themselves or inside the wall where electrical lines are hidden.

Nutritious diets have long been touted as essential components of healthy lifestyles. Many people have a tendency to view diet as something that’s purely physical, associating the foods they eat with how they look and how much energy they have. While accurate, it doesn’t paint the full picture of just how big and positive an impact healthy diets can have on overall health. In regard to healthy diets, it’s hard to dispute the effectiveness of the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet focuses on plant-based foods and, as a result, includes lots of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and olive oil. The diet is so healthy that the World Health Organization even recognizes it as a healthy, sustainable dietary pattern.

halfway through the TransSiberian Orchestra-inspired “Christmas Canon,” fourth and fifth grade chorus members stood up with battery-operated candles and began singing along. Fifth grade chorus students then sang a trio of holiday tunes under the direction of Kathleen Dyckman including the highly-anticipated “Holiday Lights.” The band, led by Nicole Boyle, wrapped up the show with a medley of Christmas and Hanukkah songs. Soon, the grand total of this year’s fundraiser was announced, as student council members Ryan Hughes and Vincent Pistillo unveiled the giant check for $15,325. Accepting the donation was Joan Siedlecki, a volunteer wish granter from the foundation. The six-week fundraiser featured much enthusiasm from the school community. “The generosity of many will go far in helping a little boy live his Make-A-

Wish dream,” Mr. DeLuca said. “I am so proud of how everyone at Lockhart and in Massapequa came together to make this possible.” Assistant Principal Louisa Vecchione, who remembers the Make-A-Wish fundraiser from her time as a student in the school, noted that “wishes can be the spark that helps children believe anything is possible.” Fifth grade teacher and student council adviser Diane Bacheller noted that many students in the audience had parents who attended Lockhart and participated in the fundraiser decades ago. That’s one of many reasons why she said it is important to keep the tradition alive. “Being involved in granting wishes is about helping others,” Ms. Bacheller said, “which in turn, teaches us lifelong lessons in giving, selflessness, caring kindness, happiness and joy.” Photos courtesy of the Massapequa School District

At $15,325, Lockhart Elementary School presented its largest donation ever in its 36year history of raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. From left are student council officers Vincent Pistillo and Ryan Hughes, Principal Michael DeLuca, wish granter Joan Siedlecki, Assistant Principal Louisa Vecchione and student council adviser Diane Bacheller.

With determination and open hearts, the students, staff and families of Lockhart Elementary School set a fundraising record in 36 years of collecting money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The total, which cleared $15,000, was announced at the annual concert on Dec. 20. Money was raised from a walk-a-thon, the sale of bracelets, PTA raffles, online donations and other means. An annual tradition since 1989, the smallest school in the Massapequa School District continues to show its big heart with the MakeA-Wish fundraiser. This year’s donation will allow a 3-year-old named Lucas to go to Disney World. Principal Michael DeLuca, after speaking about the success of this year’s fundraiser, turned the program over to the musicians. The orchestra, conducted by Alison Pearl, performed three songs. The finale featured a surprise for the guests, as

EXIT Realty Premier is a full service, independently owned real estate brokerage based in Massapequa, servicing the Long Island market

attractions, all made possible in part by this grant. Funding is being provided through a Market New York grant, a program that supports regionally themed marketing projects that promote tourism destinations, attractions and special events, as well as tourism facility capital improvement projects. “Adventureland not only holds fond memories for nearly every Long Island child and family, but it also holds an important place in our regional economy,” said Sen. Martinez. “It employs over 650 local workers who keep the Train, and other rides, moving throughout

the park’s operating season. Supporting Adventureland’s improvement is good for patrons, impactful for our community, and beneficial for New York State.” The upgrades are expected to be Musik to the ears of visitors to the adventure park, which has operated rides, games, and attractions for children and adults of all ages on its East Farmingdale campus for more than 60 years. The multi-phased redevelopment project began earlier this year and is expected to continue until 2028, with park employment projected to increase by 10% upon completion.

Sparkling Wines Sparkling wines can make special occasions even more enjoyable. That is why they're generally reserved for big events that warrant toasts, like weddings or New Year's Eve celebrations. But bubbly can be enjoyed at any time of year. Many people mistakenly believe that all sparkling wines are champagne, so much so that the term champagne has become something of an umbrella term. However, true champagne is made in the Champagne region of France from a combination of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier grapes. It can only be made in the region's traditional method, called Méthode Champenoise, and the taste will typically be nutty and toasty. Sparkling wines can be produced across the globe in various ways. The taste will vary depending on

how it is produced. Sparkling wines are named depending on where they are made. Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine, cava a Spanish variety and sekt is a German version.

United Way Of Long Island’s Vetsbuild Program Receives $40,000 Grant From PSEG Foundation The United Way of Long Island has received a $40,000 grant toward VetsBuild, a program which provides career training and employment opportunities for Long Island veterans and their families, from the PSEG Foundation. The grant will make possible a hands-on education in green construction for 20 veterans as they work to transform the United Way of Long Island headquarters in Deer Park, New York, into a Net Zero building that produces as much energy as it uses. VetsBuild is part of United Way of Long Island’s Workforce Development Training Academy providing free hands-on training focused on creating a foundation and pathways to secure careers in the renewable energy industry for Long Islanders. Veterans are able to transition back to a civilian routine and gain clear, long-term career path development that is

complemented by online financial empowerment workshops. Graduates become proficient in the installation of clean heating and cooling technologies, high-efficiency HVAC, heat pumps, solar panels, and EV Charging. “PSEG Long Island is proud to support the United Way of Long Island’s VetsBuild program because giving back to the communities where we live and work is part of PSEG Long Island’s mission,” said David Lyons, interim president and COO of PSEG Long Island who is a United Way of Long Island board member. “The veterans in the program are learning to design, build, and implement renewable energy on our island. The PSEG Foundation’s funding of this program is a win for all of us.” “Our thanks to PSEG for providing this important grant,” said Theresa A. Regnante, President and CEO of United Way of Long Island. “The VetsBuild program

will provide workforce development training to connect veterans with the confidence and skills needed to obtain employment and return to everyday life.” VetsBuild participants will also receive training at United Way’s E3 SmartBuild Training Center, a state-ofthe-art facility equipped with the latest technology and equipment. Graduates will work toward earning industryrecognized certifications in green building, such as BPI (Building Performance Institute) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). “The PSEG Foundation has a long history of supporting veterans and their families, and this program emphasizes all three of our key pillars – environmental sustainability, social justice and equity and economic empowerment,” said Maria Spina, manager, PSEG Foundation and Corporate Social

Responsibility. “VetsBuild is the type of program that will help veterans thrive in the new economy, enabling them to better support their families and communities while also caring for our planet.” A signature program of the

United Way of Long Island, VetsBuild provides career training, employment, and wrap-around services to veterans who have served post-2001 and seek a career path. The program combines formal education with on-the-

job training and engages local businesses and unions to hire graduates. To learn more about United Way of Long Island’s VetsBuild program, visit: www. unitedwayli.org/vetsbuild.
