Though few people consider the end of summer a cause for celebration, the weather outside need not preclude men and women from enjoying a cool and refreshing beverage. Those who simply can’t say “so long” to summer may want to find a nearby patio, pull up a chair and pour themselves a glass of “Liquid Iron” courtesy of Brian Preston-Campbell’s “Cool Waters” (Harvard Common Press). Not only is the following drink refreshing and cool for those waning hot days before summer officially goes away, but it’s also a great source of iron and calcium.
Makes 6 servings
2 stalks red Swiss chard, chopped
1⁄4 cup chopped spinach leaves
1⁄4 cup chopped purple kale
1 teaspoons loose green tea leaves
6 cups still water
1. Place the chard, spinach, kale, and tea leaves in a blender with 1 cup of the water. Purée until fairly smooth, about 1 minute.
2. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, using a ladle or rubber spatula to extract as much juice as possible. Add the remaining water, stir gently, and serve.
The Suffolk County Police Department provided 162 doses of Narcan to attendees at Babylon’s Summer Block Party event on July 17, while The Purple Rock Project helped people memorialize their loved one’s lost to overdose by writing a name on a rock. The Narcan
training was conducted by SCPD Emergency Medical Service Officers Jason Byron and Alex Trzepizur, who work closely with the SCPD’s Behavioral Health Section and SCPD’s Community Relations Bureau. Byron educated the public on how accidental opioid exposures
can affect individuals of any age, and that simply having Narcan in the home does not indicate substance abuse, but rather preparedness and care for loved ones.
Parent Carole Trottere, who lost her son Alex to fentanyl, met several family members who had lost loved
ones to overdose and helped them create memorial rocks and also distributed information from Long Island Council of Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and the Drug Enforcement Administration. For more information about the Purple Rock Project: email catrottere@gmail.com. For more information about the SCPD’s Narcan training opportunities, contact 631853-7067 or email jason. byron@suffolkcounty.gov

The United States population is rapidly aging. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), by 2030, the number of Americans aged 65 and older will more than double to 71 million older Americans, comprising roughly 20 percent of the U.S. population.
With age comes the added burden of dealing with illnesses such as heart failure, dementia and cancer, any one of which can leave you unable to make decisions involving your care. Unless you have a plan in place, the burden will fall on your family.
Protect your loved ones from having to make life and death decisions on your behalf by developing an advance care plan today.

Friday and Saturday night might be the day people most identify as the best night to dine out at a restaurant, but a recent survey found that Sunday reigns supreme among diners. According to a recent survey from Real Research, just under 30 percent of diners said they eat out on Sunday, which makes the first day of the week more preferable than Friday (18.9 percent) and Saturday (15.4 percent). Perhaps more surprisingly, a greater number of respondents indicated they prefer to dine out on Monday (23 percent) than Friday or Saturday. Despite these preferences, experienced diners know that it's still wise to book a reservation when dining out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Diners might be more likely to find a table without a reservation on Monday.
