Jovia Financial Credit Union And Roosevelt Field Partner To Bring The Ultimate Holiday Tradition Back

As we celebrate this festive season, Jovia Financial Credit Union is bringing the holiday spirit to Roosevelt Field by sponsoring the Santa Photo Experience at the center in Garden City, New York. Santa has arrived at Roosevelt Field from the North Pole early this year and will be taking photos with families through December 24. Families may choose to sit with Santa or maintain social distance. Santa’s helpers will wear masks throughout the duration of each visit. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Roosevelt Field and bringing the Santa Experience back in a safe way for families to take photos with Santa and continue the Christmas spirit,” said Renu Dalessandro, Chief Marketing Officer, Jovia Financial Credit Union. “This is one of many ways we’re rejuvenating the holiday spirit on Long Island, putting smiles on the faces of little boys and girls who get to meet Santa.” Simon® ensures a magical and safe experience with jolly Old St. Nicholas by providing hand sanitizer for all guests, sanitizing the photo area between each guest visit as well as doing a deep cleaning of the set each day after closing. It is encouraged to make a reservation for the Santa Photo Experience by visiting

the website https://www.simon.com/ mall/roosevelt-field/stores/santa-photoexperience. As a local-based credit union and a part of the fabric of the Long Island community, Jovia Financial Credit Union is committed to bringing back happy and jolly events just like the Santa Photo Experience.

to interact with Ken, who is affiliated with Therapy Dogs of Long Island. Service dogs have a specific handler and role and typically only interact with that one person — for instance, assisting someone who is visually impaired. Therapy dogs, by comparison, interact with all of those around them in a room. They provide tangible health benefits

for those with whom they interact, students learned, including lowering blood pressure, reducing stress and increasing serotonin levels — the hormone that affects people’s moods. Ken’s business card indicates that his favorite activity is playing ball. With this in mind, students had a chance to toss a ball and watch Ken retrieve it for them during the fourth-period visit.

Gifting a Puppy This Holiday Season? Read These Tips First

Warm And Wow Guests With Homemade Hot Mulled Apple Cider When hosting friends and family at home, it’s understandable that hosts direct so much of their focus to the foods they plan to serve. The main course is often the focal point and most memorable aspect of a dinner party, and that’s true whether the get-together is a backyard barbecue, a holiday meal with the family or a formal affair with colleagues. Food might be a focal point, but guests also will need something to drink. Traditional spirits like wine and cocktails are the standard, but hosts who want to get a little creative should not hesitate to do so. When choosing a special beverage, timing is everything. Guests wil want to cool down on warm summer evenings, so something cold and

refreshing can make for the perfect signature cocktail. When hosting on nights when the mercury has dropped, a warm beverage can heat up guests in a matter of minutes. On such nights, hosts can serve this version of “Hot Mulled (Sherried) Apple Cider” courtesy of Laurey Masterton’s “The Fresh Honey Cookbook” (Storey). One added benefit to Masterton’s recipe is it can produce a welcoming winter aroma, helping hosts establish a warm ambiance for the festivities. Hot Mulled (Sherried) Apple Cider

4 sticks cinnamon 1/4 cup honey, preferably cranberry honey 1 cup sherry (optional) 1. Combine the cider, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon, and honey in a large pot over medium heat. If you are picky about things floating in your cider, make a little bundle out of cheesecloth and place the cinnamon and cloves inside before adding to the cider. I like to chew on cloves, so I just toss everything in. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer over low heat for an hour or so to spread these lovely winter aromas around your home.

Serves 16 1 gallon apple cider 2. If you’re serving it to 1 orange, unpeeled, cut adults, add the sherry. It into slices might make everyone want 1/4 cup whole cloves to go sledding!

(StatePoint) Thinking of surprising a friend or family member with a puppy this holiday season? “Before gifting someone with a commitment that lasts well beyond the holidays, make sure you’ve made your list and checked it twice,” says Claire Komorowski, chief executive officer of PuppySpot, a USDAlicensed company whose mission is to make lives better by placing healthy puppies into happy homes. Having introduced over 200,000 puppies to loving homes, PuppySpot encourages potential dog owners to make responsible decisions this holiday season and are offering the following Do’s and Don’ts to help: Don’t: 1. Surprise your friend, partner or spouse unless they’ve openly communicated that they’re ready to take on the commitment and can

prepare for the puppy’s arrival. 2. Wait too long to start looking if you know this is something you and your family want for the holidays. 3. Try and cut costs. Healthy, well-bred puppies can be expensive. If you see something that seems too good to be true, it probably is. 4. Expect a puppy to arrive fully-trained and well-behaved. Puppies can be mischievous and require a lot of time and attention. Do: 1. Leave plenty of time for the entire process, you don’t want to rush selecting the right pup for you. 2. Realize your puppy may not arrive at the exact moment you had hoped for. These are living, breathing animals that require stops and care along their journey. They are not a warehouse package. 3. Plan to be home for the

holidays to acclimate your puppy. Be sure to consider what happens when the holiday excitement dies down. Puppies need a great deal of attention, especially during their first year. 4. Use reputable services, like PuppySpot, which is authorized by the American Kennel Club and has its own independent scientific advisory board that collaborates with the USDA to ensure all national standards are exceeded. To learn more about PuppySpot and its promise to connect the nation’s top breeders to caring, responsible pet owners, visit www.puppyspot.com. While there is perhaps no more joyful holiday surprise than a puppy, this is one gift that should never be given lightly. By weighing the decision carefully, you can ensure that a puppy’s new home is their fur-ever home. Homemade Hot Mulled Apple Cider

Smithtown’s Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony The Town of Smithtown held the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Wednesday, December 1st, 2021at Town Hall. The community based event is organized by the Department of Recreation, with support from the Parks Department and Public Safety. The tree is illuminated by the Department of Traffic Safety. The evening’s Master of Ceremonies was John Zollo (former Town Attorney) with live music provided by local DJ, Just For the Record. The Smithtown Fire Department delivered Santa from the North Pole just shortly after 6PM. “This was an outstanding and much needed event to get Smithtown in the holiday spirit, and you could feel the energy in the crowd! Last year we went virtual with Santa and held a very small tree lighting ceremony. So it was great to see everyone together again... I want to commend the talented young people who performed, and send my gratitude to the Department of Recreation for making this ceremony so extraordinary. Thank you to the Parks Department who worked around the clock to set up and breakdown the stage and equipment, as well as our Department of Public Safety who kept everyone safe

and guided the Fire Trucks to Town Hall. I think I was just as excited to see Santa as the kids were this year!” Supervisor Ed Wehrheim This year’s live performances, from local school districts, were conducted by the Smithtown High School West Whisperettes (Junior Varsity and Varsity) Kickline, the Hauppauge Varsity Kickline, Smithtown High School West Jazz Choir, the Great Hollow Middle School Chorus, and the Accompsett Middle School Chorus. Each group performed Christmas favorites for a crowd of approximately 250 people. The Recreation department served Cookies and Hot Chocolate, which was donated courtesy of Lessing’s Hospitality Group. Balloon Sculpting was provided for kids of all ages by Animations. The Town of Smithtown collected non-perishable items for the Smithtown Emergency Food Pantry during the event. Residents who wish to make a donation to the Food Pantry may do so in person at their location: 90 Edgewater Avenue in the hamlet of Smithtown. Sadly, Katie’s Food Truck was destroyed in a tragic fire just days before the ceremony and was unable to attend the

celebration. A GoFundMe. com page has been created to help the local business restore it’s famous food truck. Katie’s of Smithtown is located at 145 W Main Street (just beneath the train trestle) in Smithtown, NY.

Younger cats and kittens are also available. There are many benefits to adopting a “catten” (young felines no longer kittens but not yet adults) or even an older or senior cat. They’re litter-trained, their personalities are developed, and they’ve been socialized. The more felines adopted into responsible, loving homes the more space available for newly rescued cats and

Bank of America Names New York Marine Rescue Center a 2021 Neighborhood Builder® to Support Ecological Conservation Efforts on Long Island

New York Marine Rescue Center (NYMRC) will be able to expand its marine conservation and educational programs through a multi-year grant from Bank of America, after being named as a 2021 Bank of America Neighborhood Builders® awardee for its impactful work on Long Island. This comes as the center prepares to treat sea turtles impacted by cold stunning a phenomenon similar to hypothermia, which occurs annually on Long Island in the fall and winter months when sea turtles are exposed to cold water for extended periods. As a Neighborhood Builder, NYMRC receives $200,000 in unrestricted funding over two years as well as leadership training on topics ranging from increasing financial sustainability, human capital management and strategic storytelling, joins a network of peer organizations across the U.S. The program continues to be the nation’s largest investment into nonprofit leadership development. NYMRC has seen an increased need for marine rehabilitation services as changing ocean temperatures disrupt marine environments, while experiencing a decrease in volunteers due to coronavirus. Being one of the largest rehabilitation

facilities in the region, during the 2020/2021 cold stun season, the NYMRC took in an additional 29 sea turtles from network partners due to limited space within the network. Additionally, the center is expanding its educational programs to reach schools not only on Long Island but in Florida and Puerto Rico, expanding knowledge of marine ecosystems and inspiring young people to participate in conservation efforts. “The New York Marine Rescue Center is protecting Long Island’s marine life, while also educating and empowering children and adults to take steps to conserve our oceans,” said Marc Perez, President, Bank of America Long Island. “These efforts are crucial to Bank of America’s commitment to drive progress on important challenges facing society, including our work to address climate change and preserve Earth’s natural resources.” “The flexible funding provided through the Neighborhood Builders program will allow us to expand our capacity to rehabilitate marine animals, build a more diverse staff and board, and assist with emergency situations that may arise, particularly as the cold stun season approaches for sea turtles. In addition

to helping save more animals, we will be able to expand our educational programs and enable Long Islanders to take steps to preserve ocean life,” said Danielle Perillo, Director of Development and Administration at the New York Marine Rescue Center. Since 2004, Bank of America has invested over $280 million in 50 communities through Neighborhood Builders, partnering with more than 1,400 nonprofits and helping more than 2,800 nonprofit leaders strengthen their leadership skills. Here on Long Island, 35 nonprofits have been selected as a Neighborhood Builder, with the bank investing $7 million into these local organizations through the program since 2005. The invitation-only program is highly competitive, and leading members of the community participated in a collaborative selection process to identify this year’s awardees. Neighborhood Builders is just one example of how Bank of America deploys capital in communities, builds cross-sector partnerships, and promotes socioeconomic progress as part of its approach to responsible growth.

Commack Schools Receives Large Number of Highly Qualified Applicants for Superintendent’s Position Commack Union Free School District’s superintendent search consultants, Western Suffolk BOCES, has completed its scheduled focus groups with various District stakeholder groups, including Board members, Commack central administration, school building administrators, representatives from all District bargaining units, parents, and the greater Commack community. Using input gathered during these sessions, as well as responses to an online survey that was made available to the Commack community through the month of November, 2021, the search consultants have generated a composite of the characteristics, skill sets and qualifications most desired by the Commack community in its next superintendent of schools.

There were 1,099 responses to the online Community Survey, with 289 comments. Many of the respondents represented district residents with children currently in Commack schools. There was great consistency in the responses across all groups, including the desire that the successful candidate demonstrate the following: • Collegial leadership • Instructional leadership • Communication and responsiveness • Recognition and value of all stakeholders • Visibility in the District and community. These salient qualities and characteristics as emphasized by parent groups, students, staff, and other community stakeholders will be used by the Board of Education as

guideposts for the criteria they will be using as they move to the next phase of the search process, which is reviewing candidate applications and subsequent candidate interviews. The initial candidate screening and application review process will continue through the end of December 2021. After this initial vetting, the Board will begin the first round of candidate interviews that will last through March 2022. During April 2022, it is anticipated that final candidate interviews and background checks will be conducted leading up to the final selection to be announced in April 2022. The successful candidate will officially assume the position of superintendent of schools on July 1, 2022, the start of the 2022-2023 school year.


Through an omnibus grant administered by the Suffolk County Office of Economic Development, Suffolk County Legislators Rob Trotta and Leslie Kennedy secured funding for the Greater Smithtown Chamber of Commerce to have a temporary ice rink installed at the Fresh Market/LA Fitness Shopping Center’s parking lot on Main

Street in Smithtown for an afternoon of family fun. In addition to half hour skating times, the Smithtown High School Choir performed, there were food trucks, a DJ, and Santa came to visit and take photos with children and adults, courtesy of the Smithtown Fire Department.

5 Ways To Protect Your Holiday Budget 2. Take advantage of deal days. Timing is everything for getting the best prices. Do your homework in advance to pay significantly less and wait for big sales days, such as Super Saturday before Christmas, which is great for last-minute gifts. 3. Purchase gift cards with peace of mind. Gift cards are a popular, convenient gift, but some would-be buyers may hesitate to purchase them out of fear that the business may end up closing, especially those still struggling during the ongoing pandemic. Erie Insurance is taking away that concern with gift card reimbursement coverage, which is provided to certain eligible homeowners at no additional charge. The coverage provides reimbursement for up to $250 per gift card at local businesses within 100 miles of a customer’s home if the business permanently closes within a year after purchase. Reimbursement coverage is limited to $500

per policy period. 4. Track when products are discounted with a browser extension. Do you want the best deals but don’t have the time to spend searching for them? There are extensions you can download on web browsers that will compare prices and even apply the best coupon codes at checkout. 5. Use credit card rewards. You’ve earned those points throughout the year and now is a great time to cash them in. The simplest way to use points is for gift cards, as it’s one of the top requested gifts and there are many categories to choose from, including restaurants, clothing and grocery stores. Another option is to take advantage of the money saved from a statement credit to cover the expense of holiday gifts. Being mindful of your spending now can help you have a low-stress holiday season and start the new year off on the right foot.

Music is powerful. Here is how to include music in your holiday celebrations to set a joyful, festive mood and help create happy family memories. 1. Whistle while you work: Decking the halls shouldn’t be a chore. It should be a fun holiday tradition. Create a playlist of all your favorite carols, old standards and popinfused holiday hits. As you adorn the tree, decorate the cookies and hang the stockings, pop on your playlist to fill the house with your personalized sounds of the season. 2. Create your own music: With more time off from school and work and a treasure trove of seasonal music to draw inspiration from, this can actually be the ideal time of year to

take up a new instrument or embark on music lessons. For beginners, consider a Castiotone. User-friendly and created with the goal of making music fun for players of all abilities, it connects to the Chordana Play App, which offers interactive, at home, beginner piano lessons. Plus the keyboard features built-in Christmas carols, perfect for sing-alongs! And because it’s portable, you can “gather round the piano” wherever you spend the holidays. 3. Go caroling: Caroling is one of best ways to spread holiday cheer among neighbors and members of your community. Organize friends and family to join you. You may even consider turning your efforts into a fundraiser for a local

charity or a music-related nonprofit such as Music & Memory, which helps individuals with cognitive and physical conditions engage with the world and ease pain through their favorite music. 4. Attend a performance: From “The Nutcracker” to “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” there are many classic holiday performances staged at theaters all around the country. Enjoy a live show or watch your favorite seasonal musicals at home. Through the power of listening and creating your own music, you can fill your seasonal traditions with joy and make happy holiday memories that last for years to come. (StatePoint)

(StatePoint) It may be the season of cheer, but for many, the holidays are rife with anxiety about expenses. A recent survey shows that staying on budget is Americans’ top concern this holiday season, followed by incurring long-term debt, shipping costs and being charged late or hidden fees. Here are five tips to protect your holiday budget: 1. Set a spending cap with friends and family. Americans plan to spend $998 on gifts this holiday season, according to the National Retail Federation. ‘Tis the season for giving, but make sure you don’t overspend. Know your budget up front and communicate that with loved ones. Another idea to limit spending is to put everyone’s name into a hat. Each person draws one name and buys a gift for just the person they selected. You can add a bit of intrigue by keeping the identity of your recipient a secret until you open gifts!
