East Islip High School senior Derek Burrell has been named as the 62nd recipient of Newsday’s Hansen Award, recognizing him as the outstanding high school football player in Suffolk County for 2021.

He was presented with this prestigious award – the first ever for an East Islip player –at the Suffolk County Football Coaches Association banquet, held

on Dec. 6 at the Hyatt Regency in Hauppauge.

After being moved to the quarterback position in August by East Islip coach Sal Ciampi, Burrell began a spectacular season to remember, finishing with 33 total touchdowns and 2,952 all-purpose yards.

On defense, Burrell was equally strong, tallying 45 tackles and returning two of his four interceptions

for touchdowns. In the playoffs, he led his team to East Islip’s first county championship title since 2016.

The Hansen Award is presented annually in memory of Westhampton coach Carl A. Hansen, organizer of the NassauSuffolk Advisory Board and president of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

Jovia Financial Credit Union And Roosevelt Field Partner To Bring The Ultimate Holiday Tradition Back

As we celebrate this festive season, Jovia Financial Credit Union is bringing the holiday spirit to Roosevelt Field by sponsoring the Santa Photo Experience at the center in Garden City, New York.

Santa has arrived at Roosevelt Field from the North Pole early this year and will be taking photos with families through December 24. Families may choose to sit with Santa or maintain social distance. Santa’s helpers will wear masks throughout the duration of each visit.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Roosevelt Field and bringing the Santa Experience back in a safe way for families to take photos with Santa and continue the Christmas spirit,” said Renu Dalessandro, Chief Marketing Officer, Jovia Financial Credit Union. “This is one of many ways we’re rejuvenating the holiday spirit on Long Island, putting smiles on the faces of little boys and girls who get to meet Santa.”

Simon® ensures a magical and safe experience with jolly Old St. Nicholas by providing hand sanitizer for all guests, sanitizing the photo area between each guest visit as well as doing a deep cleaning of the set each day after closing.

It is encouraged to make a reservation for the Santa Photo Experience by visiting

the website https://www.simon.com/ mall/roosevelt-field/stores/santa-photoexperience.

As a local-based credit union and a part of the fabric of the Long Island community, Jovia Financial Credit Union is committed to bringing back happy and jolly events just like the Santa Photo Experience.

Visiting Your Parents For The Holidays?

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 22, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Caring for Your Parent’s Health Starts at Home

Millions of adult children will be visiting their parents during the holidays. For some, their last visit home may have been months ago and for others, routine visits might be common.

Health experts advise that while visiting, in addition to enjoying the holiday’s many fun filled traditions, it’s important that children also take time to consider their aging parents’ health needs at home.

“Long Island has a rapidly growing senior population, but very few have homes that are safe for them to live in,” said Daniel Elliot, a Certified Aging in Place Professional and Licensed Occupational Therapist with Jukebox Health, a leading Tri-State healthcare company that works with families and seniors to develop home solutions for optimal independent living.

“Knowing that most seniors want to remain living in their own homes as they age, it’s important that their homes be safe for them to live in. Caring for your parents’ health needs to start at home.”

Was mom recently hospitalized and now feeling somewhat weaker?

Did dad have a recent fall?

These are some of the

questions to ask yourself when visiting your parents this holiday, according to Elliot. “Take a walk around the house to see how the lighting is in each room, especially those without windows like a basement, a stairwell or a closet. Are grab bars now needed in the bathroom or beside the bed to help dad stand up?” asserts Elliot.

“In addition to considering assisted living communities and nursing homes, families should also consider aging in place at home as a viable option for their senior family members,” continued Elliot. “Thankfully many products and services exist today to help seniors live safely at home, without compromising their home aesthetic.”

Jukebox Health offers personalized home safety assessments performed by certified aging in place professionals that include clinically driven home safety recommendations.

Families work with Jukebox to design and install the home modifications, working with local licensed contractors.

Examples of modifications recommended in an assessment might include: • Improved lighting

Daniel Elliot explains, “Many times we see an avoidance of certain rooms used at home which usually signals an issue but can easily be remedied, restoring their freedom and full use of the house.”

“There is a large emotional dimension to aging in place. Seniors want choices about how and where they age” continued Elliot.

“Remaining in their homes provides independence and familiarity, which many times, leads to living a longer, happier life.” For more information on Jukebox Health, visit their website at https://www. jukeboxhealth.com/.

Last-Minute Holiday Shopping Tips

• UTILIZE FREE SHIPPING SERVICES. Shoppers who shop for gifts online at the last minute run the risk of gifts not arriving on time. Many online retailers charge a premium for expedited shipping. Try to stick to shopping at online retailers that offer free shipping even in the eleventh hour.

• CHOOSE IN-STORE PICKUP. Rather than scouring various aisles, you can shop a retailer’s website and then pick up items in the store. You’ll save on potential shipping fees but still benefit by avoiding crowds.

Some people wait until the last minute to do their holiday shopping. A few tricks of the procrastinator’s trade can make last-minute shopping go smoothly.

• CREATE A BUDGET. When rushing around from store to store, it may be easy to spend more than you want to. Make a list of how much you want to spend on each person, and stick to that limit for each person.

Move on to the next store if you didn’t find what you need in your price range.

• ESTABLISH A TIME LIMIT. Stores have strategies in place to keep shoppers in their establishments longer, hoping you’ll make impulse buys. These tricks include scenting the air with inviting aromas, putting necessities at the rear of the store, failing to display the time, and putting discounted items by the registers or door to attract shoppers. Set an alarm on your watch or phone for each store so you get what you need and get out on time.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We hope you enjoy the holiday season and have a peaceful 2022!

We Hope You Have Joy & Peace This Holiday Season & In 2022!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

• SUBDIVIDE BULK GIFTS. Think about purchasing bulk gifts like gift baskets from wholesale clubs and then breaking them down into individual gifts.

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 22, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

There’s no right or wrong way to handle holiday shopping tasks, though Christmas Eve crowds at malls and throughout shopping districts suggest that there’s more late comers than there are early birds.

The following tips can help those who typically wait until the last minute to check names off their lists.

• CHOOSE ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL GIFTS. Think about a gift that can be purchased for multiple people so you can save time shopping for individualized gifts for everyone. For example, print a personalized photo calendar for several members of your family. You also can purchase multiple subscriptions or memberships to zoos or magazines for people on your list. Streamlining gifting in this way may save money as well as time.

Some people thrive by doing all of their tasks early.

Others seem to do their best work when faced with a time crunch. The methods individuals use to manage their time at work and play may extend to the ways they approach holiday shopping as well.

East Islip High School’s varsity softball team participated in the annual Christmas Magic service project on Dec. 12. All of the returning players, including assistant coach Katie Wallace, shopped at Target in Bay Shore for elementary-age children in the Amityville School District.

Each player had $75 and a Dear Santa list. The

gifts were then wrapped by the players, and will be delivered by East Islip coach Jason McGowan, who teaches at Amityville High School.

“This is my fifth year participating in Christmas Magic with the softball team,” captain Kyra Kreuscher said. “It is such a great experience to shop for children who do not have much. Each player

gets paired with a child and their wish list. While I’m shopping, I think about how happy these children will be when they wake up Christmas morning and open these presents.”

“It shows me how fortunate I am,” Madison Sturtz said.

“The experience that comes with giving back to these kids is so rewarding, especially around this time of year.”

Feline Adoption Fees Discounted During December North Shore Animal League America is reducing adoption fees for all felines older than six months throughout December at Bianca’s Furry Friends Feline Adoption Center (BFF) at their Port Washington, NY campus.

Reduced adoption fees still include examinations, vaccinations, and spaying or neutering.

Adoption Fees for Felines 6 Months Old – 4 Years Old: 50% Off Adoption Fees for

Felines Over 4 Years Old: No Fee This offer is valid for approved adopters only.

Donations are appreciated.

Younger cats and kittens are also available.

There are many benefits to adopting a “catten” (young felines no longer kittens but not yet adults) or even an older or senior cat. They’re litter-trained, their personalities are developed, and they’ve been socialized.

The more felines adopted into

responsible, loving homes the more space available for newly rescued cats and kittens.

Families hoping to add a pet to the household during the holiday season are encouraged to visit the Adoption Centers together where an Adoption Counselor can help them find the animal that best fits their lifestyle.

North Shore Animal League America’s Adoption Centers are open seven days a week from

10:00am until 6:00pm.

No appointments are necessary.

2021 Holiday Hours are as follows: Friday, December 24 Christmas Eve 10:00am - 6:00pm Saturday, December 25 Christmas Day Closed Friday, December 31 New Year’s Eve 10:00am – 6:00pm Saturday, January 1 New Year’s Day 12:00pm – 5:00pm
