The workshop will be held online on Wednesday, February 23rd: 7:00 - 8:00 pm. “From Grief To Peace: Journaling For Life After Loss” with Heather Stang.

Description: A grief journal does more than record your day-to-day experience; it helps you organize your thoughts, process traumatic events, and find meaning through your lived experience. There is no shortage of research to support this powerful grief tool —benefits include decreased depression and anxiety, improved memory and increased immune functioning.

Sleep Is Restorative And Essential For Children

Sleep is restorative and essential for ensuring our minds and bodys operate at peak capacity, but many kids are not getting enough sleep. According to WebMD, bedtimes have gradually become later as children must contend with social, family and school activities.

This is especially true for older children. WebMD says that most 12-year-olds now

go to bed around 9 p.m., getting an average of 9 hours of sleep, even though 12 hours is ideal for kids who are 12.

Perserverance

In the realm of ideas, everything depends on enthusiasm; in the real world, all rests on perseverance.

From the Desk of Mayor Ralph Ekstrand

Happy 2022!

Congratulations to the winners of the 2021 Farmingdale Holiday Lights Contest! The three winning homes were: 34 Stearns Court, 5 Clifford Drive and 123 Lockwood Avenue.

Thank you to the contest sponsors that donated gift cards for the winners: Priestley Chiropractic, Caracara Mexican Grill and Vespa Italian Kitchen and Bar. Special thanks to the Farmingdale Village Cultural Arts Committee for running the contest. The committee, co-chaired by John Capobianco and Vicki Gruber, is busy planning community events for 2022.

The Board of Trustees and myself are delighted to announce the return of community events downtown – save the dates and stay tuned for more updates. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is set for March 13th and the Easter Egg Hunt/ Meet the Easter Bunny on April 9th! The Farmingdale School District announced that the Long Island Special Olympics Spring Games are coming to Farmingdale on May 21st. The Long Island Region of Special Olympics New York is planning its Spring Games North after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic; and the Farmingdale Athletic Complex at Howitt Middle School is set to host the competition. Volunteers are needed for the event, visit the school district website for more details, www. farmingdaleschools.org.

We would like to

remind residents if snow accumulation is over 2 inches there will be plowing, so please remove cars from the street throughout the Village; vehicles can be parked on Lawns and Driveways, but don’t block the sidewalks.

Just a reminder that the Village Code is available on the Farmingdale Village website: www. farmingdalevillage.com, click “Village Code” below the header on the home page. The Village code is searchable (on the top right), check out the new laws posted, or browse through the sections / index.

The following is an excerpt from the Village Code regarding Snow Emergencies (98-16) to remind and inform the community regarding snow emergencies. “All Village streets. The parking of vehicles is prohibited on all public highways for an eighteen-hour period upon declaration of a snow emergency by the Mayor.

A snow emergency shall be deemed to exist, and the Mayor shall have the right to declare a snow emergency, from the time when there are at least two inches of snow on the ground.”

During and after snow storms, our DPW department works diligently clearing our roads and parking lots in order to make roadways passable and to open the business district and enable commuters to get to work in the shortest time possible. We thank all of the DPW staff for their tireless efforts and truly appreciate their hard work and dedication!

It’s a new year and we hope everyone is healthy!

In addition to many medical, dental, spa and therapeutic locations in the Village, there are numerous sports and fitness related merchants. Here are several highlights, on Main Street: Blink Fitness, GoldFish Swim School, Fitness On Main St., Step by Step Dance Studio, Crayton’s Martial

Arts Academy, The Runner’s Edge, and BrickWell Cycling and Multisports shop. On Route 109: MB Dancers dance studio and Kempo Self Defense & Fitness; and on Conklin Street, Spirit Taekwondo.

Additionally, the Village is a walkable and transit-oriented downtown – so keep active, and also enjoy the parks throughout the Village, as well as the legendary Bethpage State Park with golf courses, bike path/hiking trails, sledding, snowshoeing/x-country skiing and more, https:// parks.ny.gov/parks/108.

Trustee Walter Priestley ran the 50th NYC Marathon November 7th, 2021 and we are extremely proud of him!

“The key to any successful endeavor is consistency.

Start off small and build up to your goal! By the inch it is a cinch, by the mile it is a trial, by the yard it is hard.

Osteoarthritis is Not Your Fault...

It’s not your fault that you have osteoarthritis. There are many reasons why this disease afflicts people.

Heredity can be a major cause of osteoarthritis. If a parent or grandparent had it, it may be passed down to you. Other reasons for developing osteoarthritis include:

Here's How Our Treatment Works...

Our advanced technology allows our doctors to see the exact location in the knee where the greatest damage is. This is done through special imaging called flouroscopy. Once the affected area is located, an FDA-approved viscosupplementation gel is injected at the exact point where it will do the most good. From there, the healing process begins. The gel bonds with the existing natural fluid in the knee to create a lubricating and cushioning layer in the knee between the bones. This reduces pain, swelling

Our doctors at Arthritis Knee Pain Centers have decades of experience and are invested in utilizing the most cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to serve their patients. Through their experience they can customize a treatment plan that’s right for you. The Arthritis Knee Pain Centers offers hope and healing for your knee pain.

When osteoarthritis occurs, the surface layer of cartilage around the knee breaks down and wears away. The bones that connect at the knee joint then rub together with no cushion resulting in pain, swelling, and loss of motion in the joint.

Hometown Heroes Recognition Applications Now Available

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Steve Labriola have announced that the Town will begin accepting applications for the 2022 Hometown Heroes’ Community Recognition Program. This initiative recognizes the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces – both living and deceased – who are current or former Town of Oyster Bay residents.

“My Town Board colleagues and I were amazed by the outpouring of support this program received in its first year by our incredible residents, businesses and local heroes,” said Councilman Labriola.

“We are proud to return this important initiative to our communities and we look forward to further recognizing our

veterans, active duty service members, and their families for their commitment to defend our freedoms and democracy.”

Banners bearing the nominated individual’s name, rank, photograph and area of service will be unveiled throughout selected park facilities across the Town of Oyster Bay in the months leading up to Veterans Day in November 2022.

Any interested individual or organization who would wish to sponsor a banner can remit $75 to sponsor the production of a banner.

No profit is made from this program. Once the banners are displayed, the Town will maintain the banners, and will remain on display until Veterans Day, where they will then be taken down to avoid any inclement winter weather and returned to the service family or their loved ones.

Those who sponsored a banner last year are reminded to submit a new application in order to be included in the 2022 season. Applications must be received by March 11, 2022.

Supervisor Saladino added, “This is an especially meaningful way to honor those who bravely and selflessly served our nation. Together as a community we will honor the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who sacrificed a great deal for our nation, as well as many local veterans who continue to serve our community and their fellow veterans through advocacy efforts.”

For more information on how to sponsor a banner, visit www.oysterbaytown. com/herobanners to download or submit an application, or call (516) 797-4121.

I had lost all hopes on purchasing a property this year. Caroline restored my hope and made the impossible possible. I wouldn’t be in the home of our dreams if it wouldn’t had been for her. We owe our happiness to her. Now children have a place to grow and build memories in.

I wouldn’t think twice in obtaining Caroline’s service in the future.

Caroline Deluca came highly recommended by Academy Mortgage, and she was amazing! She was like our mama bear. We felt protected and well cared for during a stressful and confusing time. She was on top of it 100%! We knew that things would continue to move along on her watch. She’s truly the best and we would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. It was like working with a family member.

Truly a great experience!

would recommend her to anyone!

Working with Caroline was a great experience. I never once concerned myself with much because I know that she is top notch in the field. She had everything under control at all times. I will recommend her to all that I know. During the sale of my home I had a accident and was in a rehab facility while my home was being sold. There was not one minute that I was concerned that Caroline would not do her job in selling my home whether I was physically there or not. Everything went smoothly and Caroline kept in constant communication with me and came to the rehab facility to bring me anything that I needed to see or sign. I was blessed that she was the one I hired to sell my home.
