Video: Town Advocates For Chapin Stamp

Joins Long Island Cares' initiative for commemorative stamp of Huntington singer.

Town officials announced Monday their support for a Long Island Cares-Harry Chapin Food Bank initiative to create a commemorative stamp honoring the life, talents and charitable accomplishments of Harry Chapin.

At a press conference at the  on Gerard Street, Councilwoman Susan A. Berland, board member Mark Mayoka and Long Island Cares executive Director Paule Pachter spoke of ongoing efforts to create a national, commemorative stamp in the memory of late Huntington resident.

members were on hand to announce sponsorship of a Town Board resolution urging the U.S. Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee to establish the stamp and the distribute of postcards that residents can mail to the U.S. Postal Service urging support for this initiative. 

The “Legacy 30” campaign — a series of 10 events that include live radio broadcasts, free concerts, special readings and island wide food drives — will end with a free Chapin Family Concert rededicating the Chapin Rainbow stage at Heckscher Park on July 16.

This would be a great way to honor Harry Chapin in all his accomplishments. Until his death, he and his wife were always committed to helping others and today the family and his wife continue to do this great cause. Keep up the great work Chapin family, we need more people out there like yourselves. Always caring about others and those who are less fortunate. I was fortunate enough to have gone to school with his children. What a great family and he would be truly be proud of them.

"Even though Chapin was driving without a license, his driver's license having previously been revoked for a long string of traffic violations, his widow Sandy won a $12 million decision in a negligence lawsuit against Supermarkets General, the owners of the truck."

He is more likely to come to you at night when there aren't as many lawn mower sounds. Walk around with a can of the stinkiest cat food that you can find. Call to him, and listen for a response. He may answer you with soft meows. Make a trail of stinky cat food to your door and leave the can at the door overnight. Hang up signs with a photo in the neighborhood. Go door to door and tell neighbors to call you if they see him. Kids playing, and dog walkers might spot him. Once you have an idea, of where he is, you can use a have a heart trap to catch him, if he won't come to you. Some cats get so scared when they get out, that they don't recognize their humans. We have had cats disappear for months, before trapping them.
