Tribute honors Carini’s legacy
Flag football league renames championship after late town councilman, beloved member of the community By CHARlES SHAW cshaw@liherald.com
In a heartfelt tribute to late Town of Hempstead Councilman Chris Carini, the Hometown Boys and Girls Flag Football League ended its spring season on March 30 by renaming its championship trophies in his honor. The dedication took place at Cedar Creek Park, where Councilman Carini was remembered not only as a public official, but also as a devoted father. According to league commissioner Wayne Raso, Carini regularly attended games to cheer on his 13-year-old son Joey, who has played in the league for eight years. “He was a great guy with a great family,”
Raso said. “He really, really cared about his community, his town, this county and this league.” The hometown league, according to Raso, began in 2003 as a boys-only program and was rebranded in 2021 to include girls, offering flag football opportunities for young athletes throughout the Town of Hempstead. Each season runs for six to eight weeks, in the spring and fall, with games held at Cedar Creek Park and Seamans Neck Park, in Seaford, and Newbridge Road Park in Bellmore. At the dedication ceremony, the league presented Carini’s wife, Danielle, his daughter, Ava, 18, and son with a plaque in appreciation of Carini’s efforts, and awarded $500 scholarships to his two children.
