through it. Certified guide Linda Lombardo leads monthly sessions of

time, understand our belonging in that world.

Paintbrush is in hand whenever Michelle is on the road, bus or train,
 or flying through the air. You might find her sketching in a 
restaurant, park bench, baseball stadium and definitely at a picnic. A 
graphic designer by trade and education, Michelle watched her mother 
paint in watercolor and learned old-school style: practice, practice, 
practice. Still studying today, Michelle takes a variety of painting 
classes to hone her craft. Her graphic design business now includes 
illustration and watercolor commissions of house and pet portraits, 
scenic, authors and illustrated maps. Michelle has taught several 
classes at The Art Guild and recently led her first week-long painting 
retreat in the Adirondacks. Another is planned for August 2026. Michelle
 has also created a painting group called <a href="https://www.instagram.com/suburban_sketchers_li/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Suburban Sketchers</a> that gathers, paints and shares every Tuesday afternoon. Samples of her work can be found on her <a href="https://www.m44art.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">website</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/m44art/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Instagram</a>.

What Do Bagels Have to Do With Long Island Water? Free Earth Day Event in Port Washington Has the Answer
High school students lead a 20-minute TED-style talk and live community conversation on Long Island’s water sustainability under stress—plus free bagels for attendeesPORT WASHINGTON, NY — This Earth Day, local high school students are taking on one of Long Island’s most important challenges with a message that starts somewhere unexpected: the bagel.
Hosted by Residents Forward, the Youth Climate Action Project will present a fast-paced, TED-style talk titled “Save Water. Save The Bagel. A New York Problem.” In just 20 minutes, students connect what makes a New York bagel iconic—its water—to a deeper reality: Long Island’s water sustainability is under increasing stress.
The talk explores how decades of over-pumping, sea level rise, and inefficient outdoor water use are putting pressure on the region’s sole-source aquifer—and what that means for the future. Students will also present a clear, actionable plan to help restore balance, including a call to advance a regional “LI 2050 Groundwater Rebalance” initiative focused on long-term groundwater sustainability.
Following the presentation, students will lead a live, interactive conversation with the audience, creating a full one-hour program designed to engage residents, water suppliers, and local leaders in a shared dialogue about solutions.
The event aims to bring the community together around a critical question: how do we restore balance and protect Long Island’s water for the next generation?
