Tully Park will reduced by half for Presidents Day weekend.The 50 percent holiday discount will be effective from Feb. 18 to Feb. 20.

The 30,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, which opened about a year ago after a total reconstruction, boasts an array of exciting features. The pool area, for example, is equipped with a figure eight slide and three separate zones, an interactive area with six water features, a zone with six lanes for lap swimming and a zero-depth entry zone for wading. A pool lift is also available.
Located on the main level, the exercise room—three times the size of the old one—has a wall of windows overlooking the pool. New spin cycles compliment the selection of exercise equipment.
Following are the discounted holiday rates: Adult $5.50, Teen $4, Child $3.50, Senior $3, Disabled $3, Veteran $3, Guests (nonresident) $7. For Town of North Hempstead residents, identification (a Driver’s License) is required. A Town resident must accompany guests.

It was another beautiful day for baseball, and the St. Aloysius seventh grade CYO baseball team was ready to rebound from the previous day’s loss to St. Dominics. St. Als broke out early, executing a series of “small ball” moments to take the early lead, and they never looked back en route to a 7-2 seven-inning victory over St. Patrick, putting them back over the .500 mark with a 3-2 at the halfway point of the season.

Jed Berman, longtime Kensington resident, just completed his eighth marathon on May 6. The 26.2-mile event was run simultaneously with a half marathon and a 10K race. Over 7,000 runners started the combined races together but only some 700 finished the full marathon this year. Jed is very proud to have finished the race comfortably under four hours. He ran in memory of his father Norman Berman, who died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56, and also in memory of his late father-in-law Meyer Hershkop, who survived Auschwitz and Birkenau, but died during heart surgery just a few years ago. Usually Berman runs to raise money for pediatric cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital. This year he will plant trees in Israel in honor of both men.
