help the birds that live near you.

Some things you can do is set up

bird feeders and put bird seed and

sun ower seeds in them. Sun ower

seeds are full of fat and provide birds

with energy, especially in the winter.

Also, set up birdhouses and bird baths

in your backyard. In addition, support

conservation groups like the Audubon

Society. According to a study from Tex-

as Tech University making your back-

A number of local businesses and service groups rewarded
nearly two dozen members of the graduating class for both
their scholarship and public service. e Somers Women’s
Club, Somers Democratic Club, Somers Police Benevolent
Association, Weinstein Pharmacy of Katonah, Lincoln Hall
Foundation, Northeast Westchester Rotary Club, Knights of
Columbus of Somers,and the Carmel-Kent Lions Club were
among those acknowledged as the awards were made to the
graduates. All that local money went to lining the graduates’
pockets on top of the nearly $42 million in merit-based
college scholarships already awarded to the Class of 2019.

In her valedictory speech, Ossining native Eileen Cooney
thanked the school’s faculty for their focus upon developing
her “moral compass.” Cooney, headed for Providence
College, was also the recipient of a NY State Scholarship
for Academic Excellence.

Kennedy maintains a very active and invested alumni
community, and the school wastes no time in bolstering
its ranks. Fred Compton, director of advancement and
alumni relations, formally inducted the Class on 2019 into
the Kennedy Catholic Alumni Association just before the
newly-minted grads led out of the church.

From the invocation through the valedictory, the name
of the 145th graduate was continuously invoked during
the ceremony. Brendan Maguire, member of the Kennedy
Class of 2019 until his death from cancer last summer, was
a beloved presence in the classroom and on the ball eld.
Maguire’s family has established a scholarship in his name.

Rev. Mark G. Vaillancourt, Ph.D, president
and principal of Kennedy Catholic.

Grill up hot dogs with the works

Backyard barbecues simply would not be the same without hot dogs. While many people may not
eat hot dogs during much of the year, come summertime when the grills are red up, hot dogs take
center stage. Hot dogs make great additions to backyard barbecues because they can be tinkered
with to provide a host of di erent avors. ose who really want their hot dogs to pack a avorful
punch can try the following recipe for “Hot Dogs Stu ed with the Works” from Andrew Schloss and
David Joachim’s “Mastering the Grill” (Chronicle Books).

Hot Dogs Stuffed with the Works

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup refrigerated sauerkraut, drained, rinsed and coarsely chopped
4 large hot dogs, such as knockwurst
1/2 ounce cheddar cheese, cut into 4 small sticks
4 slices bacon
Oil for coating grill screen
4 long hot dog buns or small sub rolls, split

Directions:

1. Heat the grill as directed.
2. Mix the mustard, ketchup and sauerkraut in a small bowl.
3. Slit the hot dogs lengthwise, forming a deep pocket end to end in each one. Fill
the pockets halfway with the sauerkraut mixture. Put a stick of cheese in the center
of each and top with the remaining sauerkraut mixture. Wrap a bacon slice around
each hot dog to hold it together, and secure the ends of each bacon strip with wooden
toothpicks.
4. Put the grill screen on the grill and coat it with oil. Wait a minute or two, until the
surface is hot. Grill the hot dogs until the bacon is cooked through and the hot dogs
are browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
5. To toast the buns, put them cut-sides down directly over the re for the last minute
of cooking. Serve the hot dogs on the buns.
