Yesterday, I had the pleasure of presenting Angelica Ottomanelli with the inaugural Trish Bergin “Most Improved Runner” Award at St. Joseph’s CYO of Ronkonkoma.

Angelica’s hard work, determination, and growth throughout the season made her a deserving recipient of this special recognition. Congratulations, Angelica, on a job well done!

A special thank you to Henry Melchiona for his dedication to the young athletes of St. Joseph’s CYO and for all he does to help make these programs a success.

It was a pleasure to attend the groundbreaking for Helen Keller Services’ new Children’s Learning Center, coming to Islandia in Fall 2026. This specialized preschool will provide critical support and educational opportunities for children with disabilities and complex developmental needs.

I was happy to be joined by Islandia Mayor Dorman as we celebrated this exciting investment in our community and in the future of our children. Congratulations to everyone who helped make this endeavor possible!

A Heat Advisory is in effect today, Thursday, June 11, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with heat index values expected to reach 100°F. High temperatures combined with elevated humidity can quickly create dangerous conditions and increase the risk of heat-related illnesses.

Please take precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones:

• Stay hydrated throughout the day
• Use air conditioning when possible or visit a cooling center, library, or shopping mall
• Limit strenuous outdoor activities and take frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas
• Check on elderly neighbors, friends, and family members
• Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle, even for a short time

Extreme heat can be especially dangerous for older adults, children, pregnant individuals, those with chronic health conditions, and anyone without reliable access to cooling or hydration.

If someone becomes confused, loses consciousness, or develops a dangerously high body temperature, call 911 immediately.

As temperatures rise, I encourage everyone to take this advisory seriously and look out for one another. A quick phone call or visit to a vulnerable neighbor or family member can make a significant difference.

The Suffolk County Office of Emergency Management has issued a Heat Advisory for Thursday, June 11th, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with heat index values expected to reach 100 degrees.

High temperatures combined with elevated humidity can increase the risk of heat related illnesses, especially for seniors, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions. Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and seek air conditioned spaces whenever possible.

If you do not have air conditioning at home, consider visiting a cooling center, library, shopping center, or another air conditioned location. Please also take a moment to check on elderly neighbors, family members, and friends who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat.

Those working outdoors should take frequent breaks in shaded or air conditioned areas. If someone shows signs of heat stroke, move them to a cool location and call 911 immediately.
