BY RIKKI MASSAND At the Oyster Bay Town Board meeting held Tuesday morning, July 30, the Board unanimously approved a resolution aimed at positive impacts for water quality and environmental stewardship of Oyster Bay’s Long Island Sound and North Shore bays and coastal waterways.

The Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce’s July meeting featured history lessons on an international brand that began as a product on a communal farm in the Middle East, but its flagship store opened last year in Woodbury Village. Gathered at Naot Footwear, 7965 Jericho Turnpike in the Woodbury Village shopping center, in between Starbucks and Ben’s Kosher Deli, the lesson of the day was clear to all in attendance: never take the shoes on your feet for granted; they are taking you places in safety, comfort, convenience and style. Consider not having any shoes to wear, and what could happen to your body as a result. Naot’s Flagship Store Director Jose Viera hosted the July meeting, and inside residents and business owners learned of Naot’s many contributions to humanity. Chamber of Commerce Vice President Maureen Nickel, owner of Woodbury-based BrightStar Home Care, said the appeal of Naot as a leading brand in footwear is one of a kind. “I love this venue as so many others do, and if you’re a shoe person how could you not love it! But even more I love the fact that Naot does so much philanthropic work with their donations of shoes and in worldwide efforts,” she said. Nickel reflected on the important lessons she and family members learned from charitable endeavors Naot have embarked on, serving underprivileged populations and communities across the globe. Nickel said that her son is a surgical residency student, and last summer he took a trip with his fellow students to Kenya. They worked and studied at a small medical clinic in northern Kenya which was founded by a Kenyan runner who won the Boston Marathon. “The area and clinic was small, it doesn’t really get onto the radar of Doctors Without Borders, but the place is there and in need of supplies. My son was one of the surgical residents who volunteered to go to the clinic for three weeks, and they were told they would be operating on cleft palates when they get there. To their surprise, once they got there the young children in this village in Kenya all had deformed toes, feet and legs. He later told me he’d looked at some of the children’s legs and feet and sometimes it looked like a branch on a tree -- the dried See page 4
