Who Are Your “Toilet Paper & Paper Towels?”

As we still find ourselves enduring this pandemic, we are slowly yet surely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. T h e r e is talk of re-opening businesses, heightened anxiety seems to be diminishing and the curve has begun to flatten. My thoughts and prayers remain with those in need, as well as those serving on the frontlines. We will continue to stand strong and one day this pandemic will fully be behind us.

If we change our thought process from items to people, which two people in your life do you rely on everyday? Who are your “toilet paper and paper towels?” Sometimes the people we love and rely on the most are the people we take most for granted.

As I take a few moments to reflect on who would be my “toilet paper and paper towels”, I find it’s hard to just choose two. There are so many people who I truly lean on, respect, love and treasure. Just like with those paper products, there are moments where I forget just how important they are to me.

So as we continue on, let us all take a moment to pinpoint who our “toilet paper and paper towels” The thought of toilet paper are and let them know just and paper towels as such how cherished they are. precious commodities got me thinking. I rarely gave If you would like your organization to be featured in this column, e-mail Noelle@SouthBaysNeighbor.com!

This past week, our Publisher was able to purchase toilet paper and paper towels in bulk. He kindly left a large stash of these items in our office and let each employee know that they can take some home as needed.

It was a selfless gesture and people appreciated it.

However, when I got home I chuckled at the thought of it! Who would have thought that toilet paper and paper towels would ever be viewed as hot items and that employees would get excited over the distribution of paper products?

Not me!

thought to these items before this pandemic, yet I use them everyday.

Life would be difficult without them, yet I have only recently started to appreciate them now that they are hard to find. It’s just like the old saying, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.”

Guardians Of Rescue Is Struggling To Help The Animals Most of us are aware of the toll that the pandemic is having on humans around the country, and even around the world. Yet the economic impacts are being felt beyond humans. The animals are being impacted in numerous ways through this situation, leaving some animal rescue organizations to struggle in being able to provide their services.

Guardians of Rescue has had an increase in dogs to care for, while their financial stability to do so declines. Guardians of Rescue is overwhelmed with the hardest hit people who can’t feed their pets and taking in abandoned animals left to fend for themselves which has become a big problem. Now, they are now turning to the people and asking that their organization be rescued amid the pandemic.

“We have been providing our rescue services for over 10 years, but now we are struggling to keep our organization going,” explains Robert Misseri, president of Guardians of Rescue, an animal rescue organization. “We are in jeopardy because of the perfect storm that this pandemic has created for organizations such as ours. Many people are living paycheck to paycheck so pets are in trouble.”

The pandemic has impacted Guardians of Rescue and other animal shelters in a variety of ways, including: Due to so many people having their employment impacted by the virus, donations to the organization are down. This makes it difficult for them

to continue feeding the animals, building doghouses, taking in new rescues, and trying to cover all their expenses.

Some rescue organizations are seeing adoptions and fosters up but this is because people are homebound right now. This leaves the shelters worried about what will happen to the animals when people go back to work.

There are some people who fear for their own well-being and financial stability, which motivates them to drop their pets off at the rescue shelter. They feel they can’t adequately take care of their pets during this time, so they surrender them, putting more strain on shelters.

Many shelters have to cancel fundraising events that usually bring in a lot of money to fund their programs.

Additionally, some shelters offer spring break camps as a fundraising tool, and those had to be canceled due to the pandemic.

Many rescue organizations and shelters are trying to help people care for their pets by providing them with food. This helps to keep the person from surrendering the animals to the shelter or rescue organization.

Food donations to many shelters are down, simply because people are focused on their own families and are staying home.

This leaves shelters scrambling to try to come up with enough money and food to continue feeding all of the animals, as well as providing them with any medical care they may need.

“The pandemic has

created a host of problem for the animals,” says Misseri. “I hope that we can make it through this difficult time, so that we can continue to help the animals in need. Our programs have helped countless animals including military members.

Without the support of the community, we will not survive and we cannot help the animals who so desperately need our assistance.”

To help support Guardians of Rescue, make a donation online: https:// guardiansofrescue.org/ donate/.

Guardians of Rescue provides assistance to animals out on the streets and investigates animal cruelty cases.

They are located in New York, but they help animals in many places around the country. They are also instrumental in helping military members with their pets. To learn more, get involved, or to make a donation to support the Guardians of Rescue, log onto www. guardiansofrescue.org.

About Guardians of Rescue Based in New York, Guardians of Rescue is an organization whose mission is to protect the well-being of all animals.

They provide aid to animals in distress, including rehabilitation, assisting other rescue groups, and providing support to families, both military and not, who need assistance due to economic factors.

Sherwood’s Recycling Club Takes Action A grassroots recycling program, helmed by teacher Karen Magee, has bloomed at Islip’s Sherwood Elementary School.

The Recycling Club initiative was born when Magee started to bring home paper to recycle, and wondered why schools couldn’t put their recyclables out on the curb like residents.

After getting advice from the high school’s Keep

Islip Clean Club adviser Wayne Mennecke, and the town’s Keep Islip Clean organization, Magee determined the cost and began the project in 2019, aided by enthusiastic Student Council helpers.

Earlier this year, Sherwood’s Recycling Club placed a blue bin and sign in the cafeteria for students to recycle their plastic bottles and aluminum cans, and Town of Islip Department of Environmental

Conservation recycling educator Danielle Wynn visited for an informative assembly including tips on technology recycling, creating recycled paper and what items can be recycled.

“Everyone’s minds are all for helping the earth and recycling and doing what’s right,” Magee said.

“It’s just a matter of taking the actions.”

People are always on the lookout for delicious dishes that are easily cooked on the grill. Burgers are a staple of grilling season. Burgers might be relatively simple, but that does not mean they have to be ordinary.

Switching up the main ingredient (i.e., the ground meat) used as the basis for burgers is an easy way to add a new flavor profile to this familiar dish. Turkey is a versatile ingredient that can be flavored in many different ways with spices and other ingredients to add punch to turkey’s relatively mild taste.

“Turkey Burgers with Mango Salsa” from “Taste of Home Healthy Cooking Cookbook” (Taste of Home Books) by the editors of Taste of Home adds a tropical spin to classic cookout menus. This recipe also offers a special treat by way of a spreadable cheese nestled right in the heart of the burger patties.

Essential Staff Providing Care For Animals On Campus Amid Coronavirus (Covid19) Pandemic North Shore Animal League America’s Adoption Center is currently conducting adoption by appointment only.

Our Adoption Team is contacting pre-approved adopters with a scheduled day and time to complete their adoption.

The health and wellbeing of NSALA staff, volunteers, adopters, and the community remains our priority at this time.

We currently have over 40 dogs of various ages and sizes on campus, as well as more than 100 felines, from kittens to older cats, all looking for loving homes.

As always, the animals on the NSALA Port Washington campus are being well-cared for by our devoted staff.

Did you know?

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, cooks should avoid reusing plates or utensils used to prepare raw meat, poultry or seafood for serving.

Even if the plates only momentarily came into contact with uncooked food, they should be thoroughly washed in hot, soapy water after coming into contact with raw foods. Bacteria from the raw juices of food can easily spread to cooked or ready-toeat foods, potentially

contributing to illness.

The FDA recommends cooks keep clean platters and utensils next to their grills that they can use to serve food. In addition, if using a bristle brush to clean cooking surfaces prior to firing up the grill, inspect the brush to make sure it’s clean and that the bristles do not still contain any specks of food or other foreign objects from a previous grilling session. Once the grill has been cleaned, make sure none of the bristles fell off and onto the grill.

While we are doing adoptions by appointment, NSALA’s Adoption Center is temporarily closed to the general public in accordance with New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo’s statewide directives and to control the number of people in the Adoption Center at any one time.

How Does The New Coronavirus Affect You And Your Pets?

Pet owners can rest easy that there is no reason to believe that dogs or cats in the United States might be a source of infection for the new coronavirus disease — COVID-19 — or cause its spread according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.

And so far, according to the CDC, there have been no reports of pets becoming sick with COVID-19.

This coronavirus appears to be primarily transmitted from human to human. As a pet owner, you may have heard of canine coronavirus, an intestinal infection in dogs, especially puppies, and feline coronavirus, which can cause feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). These types of coronaviruses have been around for quite some time and are not associated with the current outbreak.

To protect yourself, your family, and possibly even

your pets, from this new coronavirus, you should follow these precautions: • Frequently wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water (use hand sanitizer with more than 60 percent alcohol if you can’t wash) • Avoid close contact with people who are sick—stay at least three feet away • Cover your mouth/ nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw away the used tissues and wash your hands • Stay at home if you are sick • Sanitize often-used surfaces in your home and office If you do become sick with COVID-19, how then should you care for your pet? The CDC recommends that you restrict contact with pets and other animals just as you would with people. Ask another member of your

household to care for your pets while you are sick. If you must do it yourself, wash your hands before and after you interact and wear a facemask. The toughest part for pet lovers is that you must remember that you really should not be petting, snuggling, or sharing kisses or food with your pet!

Serve up homemade salsa this Cinco de Mayo

M

uch like St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by people with no trace of Irish heritage, Cinco de Mayo has become a day of celebration for people who do not trace their ancestry to Mexico. In fact, History.com notes that Cinco de Mayo is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, where the day commemorates a symbolic yet not significantly strategic win by a heavily outnumbered Mexican army over French forces sent by Napoleon III to establish an empire on Mexican land. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become a day to commemorate Mexican culture, including its much-loved cuisine.

Food is front and center at many Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Those who simply want to enjoy some homemade Mexican fare this Cinco de Mayo can try their hands at this recipe for “Fiery Corn Salsa” from Kelley Cleary Coffeen’s “200 Easy Mexican Recipes” (Robert Rose).

FIERY CORN SALSA Makes 2 cups 1⁄4 3

cup olive oil

tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2

teaspoons minced fresh cilantro

tomatoes, seeded and diced

2

to 3 jalapeño peppers, seeded

11⁄2

cups corn kernels and diced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

TIP In place of the corn kernels, you can used canned corn, drained; frozen corn, thawed; or corn from the cob, cooked on the stove top. For a smoky flavor, use corn grilled on the barbecue grill.

C

inco de Mayo celebrates the 1862 defeat of the French by the Mexican army at the Battle of Puebla. That battle occurred during the Franco-Mexican War, which was an invasion of Mexico launched by the French in 1861. The French invaded Mexico as a result of newly elected Mexican President Benito Juarez's decision to suspend interest payments on loans the country took out from foreign countries. France was one such creditor, but the French were not the only country to send troops to Mexico in response to Juarez's decision. Spain and Great Britain also sent troops to Veracruz, but both countries entered negotiations with Mexico and ultimately

withdrew their forces. However, France, under the leadership of Napoleon III, wanted to ensure access to Latin American markets.

The French naval fleet's arrival in Veracruz forced President Juarez and his government to retreat. Months later, Juarez's force of 2,000 squared off against 6,000 French troops at the Battle of Puebla.

Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Mexican forces claimed victory, losing fewer than 100 men while French casualties numbered nearly 500. While the victory itself did not prove a major win in the war against the French, it symbolized the strength of the Mexican people and served to strengthen the resistance movement. Cinco de Mayo is a minor holiday in Mexico, but has grown into a popular celebration of Mexican culture in the United States.

Happy Mother’s Day! Stay Safe Everyone!

“We first reached out to Diana Lambert and Seventh Street Music about 4 years ago. Until then, our son had been taking piano lessons from several local teachers but we had to travel to their houses and sometimes spent more time on the road than with the actual lesson. After being unable to find a teacher locally who would support Level 5 and 6 NYSSMA, it was time to look for a new teacher. We found Diana’s Music Lessons online and Diana matched us up with Dian Torees. Dian comes to your house, supports 30, 45 or 60 minute lessons, will teach what the client wants and all for a very reasonable rate with discounts for multiple lesson plans. But it gets better, Dian was able to help my son achieve an Outstanding score on each of three NYSSMA solo competitions (one level 5 and two level 6). This gained him acceptance into the TRI M music honor society. Our son became so proficient that he was asked to accompany various choirs and coral ensembles at his High School in both his Junior and Senior years. Dian was as professional, accomodating and talented an instructor as you could ever wish for. Thanks to Diana and Dian for everything you did for us and especially for what you did for our son who will never forget you or stop playing piano!” ~ Edward & Anne Marie

Over $550,000 Raised in Knapp Family COVID-19 Health Crisis Challenge

Long Island Community Hospital has raised over $550,000 toward its $1,000,000 goal for the Knapp Family COVID-19 Health Crisis Challenge within ten days of announcing the campaign.

The matching grant is made possible by the KnappSwezey Foundation, Island Outreach Foundation and Gardener Foundation to help raise vital funding for the community hospital in their fight against COVID-19.

“The outpouring of support has been humbling, to say the least. In a short time our community has donated over $275,000, which has been generously matched by the Knapp family to reach over $550,000,” said Richard T. Margulis, President and Chief Executive Officer at LI Community Hospital.

“Protecting our staff and responding to our patients needs during this crisis remain the top priority, FOREIGN LANGUAGE WEEK CELEBRATION - American Sign Language especially as we see high students spread awareness during East Islip High School’s Foreign Language Week numbers holding steady, celebration. Photo courtesy of East Islip School District interpreted popular songs, taught basic signs and played fun games in the library to spread deaf awareness to their fellow peers who are enrolled in a foreign language.

As part of the week’s initiative, students were asked to participate in a poster contest to encourage learning new languages, with this year’s theme being “Explore a Language, The World

Needs You!” The winners, selected by art teacher Daniel Figliozzi, were awarded with Barnes & Noble gift certificates provided by the high school’s former language director, Dr. Janet Hiller.

Genesis Madera-Blondet earned first place for her poster, while Ella Centauro came in second, Olivia Zhang took third and Madison Sturtz earned honorable mention.

and the Knapp Family COVID-19 Challenge is helping us meet these needs.”

On April 8th, the Knapp Family announced that they would match every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $500,000 to directly purchase vital personal protective equipment (PPE), supplies, equipment and other items necessary to keep healthcare professionals safe during this pandemic. These purchases are ongoing and include masks, gowns, eyewear and other protective gear in high demand.

“These past few weeks have been extraordinary for us all. Everyone has been touched by this virus.

It knows no boundaries.

Long Island Community Hospital is bracing for the wave, and if we don’t give now, in the midst of the pandemic, then when?,” says Michele Knapp, Board Member at LI Community Hospital and Chair of the Knapp Family COVID-19

Health Crisis Challenge.

“We need to all become part of the solution in this unprecedented time.”

“The Knapp family’s most recent commitment is a testament to their steadfast support of our hospital. We knew the campaign would need to be completed in record time but we couldn’t have imagined the success we’d see in just ten days,” said Rachel E. Schnabl, Vice President and Chief Development Officer at LI Community Hospital. Mrs. Schnabl continued, “Time is of the essence and our community has responded and continues to respond to provide our healthcare heroes with the vital supplies.”

With the number of COVID-19 cases in Suffolk County surpassing 25,000 and growing, LI Community Hospital has transformed the hospital to meet increased demand.

In response to the influx

6 Steps To Get Your CARES Act Funds Fast (StatePoint) Millions of U.S. residents will receive government stimulus payments (also known as Economic Impact Payments) under the CARES Act. Payments to eligible recipients will arrive by either direct deposit or a paper check.

Here are some helpful tips from Wells Fargo that may help you access your funds as soon as possible.

1. Determine if you qualify for a government

stimulus payment.

Your eligibility is determined by the federal government. To learn more about eligibility and payment amounts, visit IRS.gov/coronavirus under the “Economic Impact Payments” link.

2. Learn how you’ll receive your stimulus payment. If you filed a federal tax return in 2019 or 2018 and typically receive your tax refund through direct

deposit, your government stimulus payment will likely arrive the same way. If you did not file a tax return or have not given the IRS your direct deposit account information in the last two years, you’ll likely receive a U.S. Treasury check in the mail 3. Set alerts for your government stimulus payment deposit. Use mobile and online banking to check your

account balances from home so you know when the stimulus payment is deposited. Set a deposit alert on your checking or savings account to be notified once you receive a direct deposit.

4. Know where you can deposit a paper check. If you have a checking or savings account, you may be able to make a mobile deposit if your bank has a mobile app, or make a deposit at an ATM. Make

sure to check your bank’s applicable daily and monthly mobile deposit limits.

5. Look before you leave. Make sure to verify if your local bank branch is open, as they may have reduced hours or services. In the case of Wells Fargo, customers can go to the Wells Fargo branch locator for the latest information on closures, hours and services by visiting

wellsfargo.com/locator/.

Customers can also visit Wells Fargo’s COVID-19 resources and support page for additional information at wellsfargo. com/coronavirus.

6. Beware of scams. If you receive a suspicious email or text message, don’t respond, click on links, or open attachments. Check out IRS.gov for more tips to help avoid becoming a victim of fraud.

Over $550,000 Raised in Knapp Family COVID-19 Health Crisis Challenge

Continued From 18

of COVID-19 patients over the past few days and weeks, the entire hospital staff is working diligently to meet the needs of vulnerable patients while protecting front-line healthcare professionals.

“In the midst of this crisis, it’s truly overwhelming to see that generosity shines through. Now, more than ever, we need the support of our community and our community has responded,” said Mr. Margulis.

The Knapp Family implores you to join in the

fight against COVID-19 and help us save lives today. To make a donation, please visit www. licommunityhospital. org and click on “Giving To Our Hospital” or call 631.654.7708.

Long Island Community Hospital has served this richly diverse region as a patient-first community hospital for more than 60 years. We are 100% focused on the community and committed to providing quality care with our greatly enhanced services reflected through the Knapp Cardiac Care Center - our highly

advanced heart disease diagnosis and treatment facility, our new modern surgical pavilion, our level III trauma center, and our high-touch services including women’s imaging, sleep laboratory, wound care and more.

These services are delivered with the highest level of compassion by our LI Community Hospital staff – Long Islanders with an unmistakable mix of courage and heart who care about the people right here in our community and whose sole purpose is to provide personalized comfort.

“BEST COMMUNITIES FOR MUSIC” HONOR - The Islip School District has been recognized by the NAMM Foundation with the Best Communities for Music Education designation for the sixth consecutive year. This prestigious recognition is due to the district’s strong and thriving commitment to provide the best music education for all students. “This honor is due to the hard work and support of Islip’s students, teachers, parents, school board members, administrators and the community at large,” said Dr. Jeff Dailey, Islip’s interim director of fine and performing arts.

While social distancing to protect our communities, we can provide virtual consultations and home video tours.
