Top priority at the Oct. 20 Concerned Citizens Association of Farmingdale meeting was to help alert the community on how to prevent their homes from being violated by the string of home invasions that have plagued Nassau County. Eighth Precinct POP Officers Tom Murphy and Paul LaMonaca dispensed literature and educated residents in attendance on how to help keep their homes invasion-free. Some of the tips included pruning overgrown shrubbery that hides windows and doors, making alarm stickers visible on doors and windows, keeping a car in the driveway, if possible, having outside doors of solid core or metal clad, setting inside lights on timers. They also advised walking around your home and creating a list of easy points of entry for an intruder and marking valuables with your driver's license number in order to make them traceable if stolen and found on a burglar.

Two big touchdowns were scored by Christina Lopilato. A stunning short pass reception and run resulted in 6 points for Jules Mullane. Andrea Lopilato found the end zone for the 2-point conversion. Sarah Hecht, Megan Draghi and Maddie Reilly all had big runs from scrimmage as they contributed to the Jets 4th victory of the season.
