Gifting a Puppy This Holiday Season? Read These Tips First

(StatePoint) Thinking of surprising a friend or family member with a puppy this holiday season?

“Before gifting someone with a commitment that lasts well beyond the holidays, make sure you’ve made your list and checked it twice,” says Claire Komorowski, chief executive officer of PuppySpot, a USDAlicensed company whose mission is to make lives better by placing healthy puppies into happy homes.

Having introduced over 200,000 puppies to loving homes, PuppySpot encourages potential dog owners to make responsible decisions this holiday season and are offering the following Do’s and Don’ts to help: Don’t: 1.

Surprise your friend, partner or spouse unless they’ve openly communicated that they’re ready to take on the commitment and can

prepare for the puppy’s arrival.

2. Wait too long to start looking if you know this is something you and your family want for the holidays.

3. Try and cut costs.

Healthy, well-bred puppies can be expensive. If you see something that seems too good to be true, it probably is.

4. Expect a puppy to arrive fully-trained and well-behaved. Puppies can be mischievous and require a lot of time and attention.

Do: 1. Leave plenty of time for the entire process, you don’t want to rush selecting the right pup for you.

2. Realize your puppy may not arrive at the exact moment you had hoped for.

These are living, breathing animals that require stops and care along their journey. They are not a warehouse package.

3. Plan to be home for the

holidays to acclimate your puppy. Be sure to consider what happens when the holiday excitement dies down. Puppies need a great deal of attention, especially during their first year.

4. Use reputable services, like PuppySpot, which is authorized by the American Kennel Club and has its own independent scientific advisory board that collaborates with the USDA to ensure all national standards are exceeded.

To learn more about PuppySpot and its promise to connect the nation’s top breeders to caring, responsible pet owners, visit www.puppyspot.com.

While there is perhaps no more joyful holiday surprise than a puppy, this is one gift that should never be given lightly.

By weighing the decision LAUREN RIGO SIGNS WITH SUNY NEW PALTZ - East Islip High School carefully, you can ensure senior Lauren Rigo signed a national letter of intent on Nov. 17 to play lacrosse at that a puppy’s new home is SUNY New Paltz next fall.

CANDY COLLECTION FOR A CAUSE - While Islip community children counted and sorted their Halloween candy, Brianne Moon, a fourth grade student at Commack Road Elementary School, had a different goal for the candy she collected. From Nov. 1-10, Brianne accepted community donations totaling 232 pounds of holiday treats, which she then donated to the Ronald McDonald House. Brianne has been collecting candy for the Ronald McDonald House for the past three years. Since she cannot eat most sweets due to her allergies to peanuts, sesame and dairy, Brianne decided to ensure children dealing with major medical issues had a chance to savor holiday candy.

PHOTO SOURCE: USO Photos (StatePoint) The everevolving mission of the U.S. military means service members are often on the move. As demonstrated by recent events in Afghanistan, Haiti and in the wake of Hurricane Ida, dedicated service members put their lives on the line whenever and wherever they are deployed at home or abroad.

Being activated for relief efforts in a time of desperate need or being stationed in remote locations far away from home can be difficult. Troops sometimes find themselves needing support services provided by the United Service Organizations (USO). To boost morale for American service members all around the globe, the USO is meeting them where they are.

“The heart of our mission is to ensure service members stay strong through connecting them to the things they love and fight for,” says Christopher Plamp, senior vice president of operations, programs, and entertainment at the USO. “When the pandemic prevented us from serving in person as we have done for over our 80-year history, we innovated new ways to virtually foster the spirit of connectedness.

As we look forward to a post-pandemic future, we are proud to continue

strengthening the military – no matter the time or place.”

Here are a few ways the USO brings vital morale and essential services directly to the nation’s military in far-reaching corners of the world: • For military units stationed in distant locations where there is no USO presence, USO2GO packages bridge the gap.

USO2GO kits ensure service members have some of the small comforts of home, such as electronic gaming, sports equipment, board games, movies and personal care items.

In 2020, USO2GO was heavily utilized to support quarantine sites for service members at military installations around the world.

• Service members can be called at a moment’s notice to leave their families and homes to respond to emergency situations – all amidst a global pandemic.

As troops work to save lives in moments of crisis, Mobile USO vehicles provide vital resources, support and comfort.

These units also help serve the National Guard in times of natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, tornados and more. Equipped with food preparation areas, WiFi, TVs, relaxation areas, gaming stations and outdoor activities, these

USO centers on wheels are a welcoming haven for military members in hardto-reach areas.

• Virtual and in-person entertainment reconnects service members to experiences and memories of home. Since April 2020, USO Military Virtual Programming (MVP) entertainment programs have hosted 135 sessions with more than 170 entertainers. MVP events reached 49 countries, including 22 ships at sea and 52 U.S. states and territories.

Attendees engaged with celebrities via live Q&A sessions, performances, one-on-one calls and more than 140 live “look-ins” at military locations.

• The USO Care Package Program provides service members with two different types of care packages: Snack Packs and Toiletry Packs. These care packages give busy troops a needed boost. In November 2020, the 3 millionth care package since 9/11 was delivered to a service member stationed in East Africa.

Want to express your gratitude to military members in a substantial way? Consider helping the USO give more than thanks by visiting USO. org/MoreThanThanks and joining the conversation using #MoreThanThanks on social media.

5 Ways To Protect Your Holiday Budget (StatePoint) It may be the season of cheer, but for many, the holidays are rife with anxiety about expenses. A recent survey shows that staying on budget is Americans’ top concern this holiday season, followed by incurring long-term debt, shipping costs and being charged late or hidden fees.

Here are five tips to protect your holiday budget: 1. Set a spending cap with friends and family.

Americans plan to spend $998 on gifts this holiday season, according to the National Retail Federation.

‘Tis the season for giving, but make sure you don’t overspend. Know your budget up front and communicate that with loved ones. Another idea to limit spending is to put everyone’s name into a hat. Each person draws one name and buys a gift for just the person they selected. You can add a bit of intrigue by keeping the identity of your recipient a secret until you open gifts!

2.

Take advantage of deal days. Timing is everything for getting the best prices. Do your homework in advance to pay significantly less and wait for big sales days, such as Super Saturday before Christmas, which is great for last-minute gifts.

3. Purchase gift cards with peace of mind.

Gift cards are a popular, convenient gift, but some would-be buyers may hesitate to purchase them out of fear that the business may end up closing, especially those still struggling during the ongoing pandemic. Erie Insurance is taking away that concern with gift card reimbursement coverage, which is provided to certain eligible homeowners at no additional charge.

The coverage provides reimbursement for up to $250 per gift card at local businesses within 100 miles of a customer’s home if the business permanently closes within a year after purchase. Reimbursement coverage is limited to $500

per policy period.

4. Track when products are discounted with a browser extension. Do you want the best deals but don’t have the time to spend searching for them?

There are extensions you can download on web browsers that will compare prices and even apply the best coupon codes at checkout.

5. Use credit card rewards. You’ve earned those points throughout the year and now is a great time to cash them in. The simplest way to use points is for gift cards, as it’s one of the top requested gifts and there are many categories to choose from, including restaurants, clothing and grocery stores. Another option is to take advantage of the money saved from a statement credit to cover the expense of holiday gifts.

Being mindful of your spending now can help you have a low-stress holiday season and start the new year off on the right foot.

Including Music In Your Holiday Traditions

PHOTO SOURCE: (c) Deagreez / iStock via Getty Images Plus

Music is powerful. Here is how to include music in your holiday celebrations to set a joyful, festive mood and help create happy family memories.

1. Whistle while you work: Decking the halls shouldn’t be a chore. It should be a fun holiday tradition. Create a playlist of all your favorite carols, old standards and popinfused holiday hits. As you adorn the tree, decorate the cookies and hang the stockings, pop on your playlist to fill the house with your personalized sounds of the season.

2. Create your own music: With more time off from school and work and a treasure trove of seasonal music to draw inspiration from, this can actually be the ideal time of year to

take up a new instrument or embark on music lessons. For beginners, consider a Castiotone.

User-friendly and created with the goal of making music fun for players of all abilities, it connects to the Chordana Play App, which offers interactive, at home, beginner piano lessons.

Plus the keyboard features built-in Christmas carols, perfect for sing-alongs!

And because it’s portable, you can “gather round the piano” wherever you spend the holidays.

3. Go caroling: Caroling is one of best ways to spread holiday cheer among neighbors and members of your community. Organize friends and family to join you. You may even consider turning your efforts into a fundraiser for a local

charity or a music-related nonprofit such as Music & Memory, which helps individuals with cognitive and physical conditions engage with the world and ease pain through their favorite music.

4. Attend a performance: From “The Nutcracker” to “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” there are many classic holiday performances staged at theaters all around the country. Enjoy a live show or watch your favorite seasonal musicals at home.

Through the power of listening and creating your own music, you can fill your seasonal traditions with joy and make happy holiday memories that last for years to come.

State Parks Announces Hunting Schedules For 2021/2022 The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation announced that hunting will be permitted within specific areas of select Long Island State Parks for the upcoming hunting season.

Hunting regulations in state parks are developed in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), which establishes hunting seasons throughout the state.

In addition to statewide hunting rules, special restrictions are in effect in state parks to protect visitors and to address wildlife management goals for each park. Hunters are advised to check with the state park regional office and with the local DEC wildlife management office for specific information. See the website at www.dec.ny.gov.

All hunters must have a valid New York State hunting license and, to hunt waterfowl, must also be registered in the Harvest Information Program (https://www.dec.ny.gov/ permits/6405.html) and have a federal migratory bird hunting stamp (“duck stamp”).

Reports of rabies in deer

have been rare, but hunters and other park users should be alert to the possibility of encountering a rabid raccoon, fox or skunk. To reduce the risk of exposure, follow these guidelines: • Do not approach wildlife that acts abnormally.

• Do not touch any animal found dead for unknown reasons. Hunters are advised to wear gloves and eye protection to avoid coming in contact with tissues or bodily fluids that may carry infectious disease.

To obtain a copy of the rules and regulations for hunting big and small game, contact any DEC office, including the Regional Wildlife office at SUNY Stony Brook, 50 Circle Road, Stony Brook, NY 11790-3409, (631) 444-0310. Hunting Guides are available at all license issuing agents, and can also be found on the DEC website at: http://www. dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28182. html All DEC hunting regulations apply in state parks. In addition, all New York State Parks regulations apply, including restrictions and limitations on areas open for hunting.

The parks listed permit hunting. In most cases,

however, there are special restrictions. Please note these carefully and follow up by contacting the park manager at (631) 668-3781 or (631) 929-4314 (Wildwood only) for further details. The chart can also be found by visiting: https://www.dec. ny.gov/outdoor/40399.html 2 - Daily Access Permit required.

3 - Small game and waterfowl hunting not permitted during the days of the January Firearms season.

4 - No hunting on weekends or holidays.

Weekend archery hunting is allowed at Montauk Point State Park Spots 15 and 16.

6 - Closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. All state lands are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. All deer harvested at Brookhaven State Park or Wildwood State Park must be checked at the Ridge Hunter Check Station.

Maps - http://www.dec. ny.gov/outdoor/40399.html

General Information: Hunting on Long Island http://www.dec.ny.gov/ outdoor/8373.html Access Permit - https:// w w w. d e c . n y. g o v / d o c s / regions_pdf/newaccessprmt. pdf For more information, call DEC @ 631-444-0310.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation oversees more than 250 parks, historic sites, recreational trails, golf courses, boat launches and

more, which are visited by 78 million people annually. A recent study found that New York State Parks generates $5 billion in park and visitor spending, which supports nearly 54,000 jobs and over $2.8 billion in additional state GDP. For more information on any of these recreation areas, visit www. parks.ny.gov, download the free NY State Parks Explorer mobile app or call 518-4740456.
