The heat and humidity is forcing some Long Islanders to limit their outdoor activities. Mario Palumbo, of Wantagh, is taking his doctor's advice and staying indoors after he got heat exhaustion while mowing his lawn. Others, however, say they refuse to become a slave to the sweltering heat. Whether staying indoors or going about their daily routines, most Long Islanders agree heading to a local pool, like Cantiague Park pool, is a great way to beat the heat.
