Calverton news: Teacher appreciation week
OK, when will it get warmer? I mean, 67 degrees? We finally planted the peas but I think most everyone is a little bit behind in the growing department. Patience is indeed a virtue!
Kent Animal Shelter on River Road in Calverton is holding a free rabies vaccination clinic Sunday, May 4, from 10 to 1 p.m. to help celebrate “Be Kind to Animals” week. Advance registration is necessary. Flea and tick products will also be available at a discount. Even if you don’t need to attend the clinic, you can still stop by to shop. Donations of dry and canned dog and cat food would be appreciated. Also, a new best friend just might be waiting for you there. Just sayin’! Fore more information and to register, call 727-5731, ext. 2.
Congratulations to Steve Gallagher, one of 11 Long Island chefs recently chosen as an all-star chef by Newsday. Steve is the son-in-law of Patti and Rowland Hautsch (Patti is my coworker and friend!). Steve and his wife, Jessica, own The Trattoria in St. James, which has received rave reviews. Congratulations to all of you! Awesome job, Steve!
