FREE Mammography Screening Event Friday, March, 24, 2023

On Friday, March, 24, 2023 “Pinky”, the Breast Cancer Screening Bus will be in the Fourth Senatorial District providing FREE mammogram screenings for the community. According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, each year in the United States, about 264,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women and about 2,400 in men. About 42,000 women and 500 men in the U.S. die each year from breast cancer. Black women have a higher rate of death from breast cancer than White women. 1 in 8 women will develop a form of breast cancer in their lifetime. In Suffolk County alone, there are over 1,300 cases diagnosed every year. Treating breast cancer is most successful when detected early and provides time and options for treatment. Thankfully mammograms are a safe

way to detect breast cancer.

A mammogram is an x-ray image of the breast that doctors use to detect early signs of breast cancer that may not be visible to the naked eye. Prevention and treatment are key to saving lives; therefore, I’d like to personally invite you to our Mobile Mammography

Van For Breast Cancer Screening event on Friday, March 24th, from 9 am to 4 pm at the East Farmingdale Fire Department Parking Lot located at 930 Conklin Street, East Farmingdale, NY 11735.

Be 40 years of age or older.

Not had mammograms performed in the past year.

Not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Not have implants or breast issues, such as a lump or discharge.

Not have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Have had an office visit

within the past year with a gynecologist, primary care physician or internist who is willing to accept the results of the screening.

If you are between the ages of 35-39, please call to see if you are eligible.

Registration is required. To register or if you have additional medical questions, please call 631638-4135.

On the day of your appointment, please do not wear deodorant, perfume, powders, lotions or creams on or around the breast area. Please bring a photo ID and insurance card, if insured.

Girl Scouts Of Nassau County Celebrates Community Champions

At Legacy Brunch

Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) recently announced that it will hold its second annual Legacy Brunch on Thursday, March 30 at The Heritage Club in Farmingdale to celebrate Girl Scouts that are leaving a legacy and impacting Girl Scouts throughout Nassau County. This event will bring together generations of Girl Scouts and Girl Scout supporters to celebrate the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and what it has meant to Girl Scouts for over 100 years. Tickets to the event are available for purchase at www.gsnc.org/ legacy, and all proceeds will go toward enhanced Girl Scout programming to ensure we continue the legacy of building girls of courage, confidence and character.

“The Legacy Brunch will truly be an inspiring event, as Girl Scouts share experiences, showcase its rich history, and bring the Girl Scout experience to life for the community,” said Randell Bynum, the CEO of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “Part of Girl Scouts delivering on its mission, is connecting girls with successful role models who have been where they are today, so they can see the possibilities, and our four honorees, personify what it means to be true champions for our Girl Scouts.

For more than a century, Girl Scouts has championed changemakers—helping

girls develop leadership skills to make a tangible, positive difference in the community. Throughout the event, guests will learn more about some of the most enriching traditions and programs available to all Girl Scouts. Attendees will learn about the lifechanging experience of spending time at Camp Blue Bay, the passion and vision it takes to carry out one of the Highest Award Projects Girl Scouts can earn, and join in a few other Girl Scout traditions.

The event will also feature a community spotlight on an esteemed Girl Scout alum, locally renowned meteorologist Meridith Garofalo, who has covered major historical events and scientific advancements over the course of her expansive career as a television journalist. Meredith enjoys giving back and supporting Girl Scouts in Nassau County by sharing her story and using her platform to encourage girls to pursue careers in the worlds of science, technology, engineering, the arts and math (STE(A)M).

The inaugural Legacy Award will be presented to Valerie T. Terzano, Ph.D, of Melville, who is the Vice President for Nursing and Patient Services at NYU Langone Hospital Long Island and the Vice President of the GSNC Board of Directors. Also three Impact Awards will be presented to

Deandra Denton, of South Hempstead, a third-year student at the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University and a 2016 Girl Scout Gold Award earner; Elizabeth Garcia, of North Massapequa, the youth program director at the nonprofit organization Circulo de la Hispanidad; and Melanie Sinesi, of Bayville, the Director of Community Affairs for Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone and 2008 Girl Scout Gold Award recipient.

The Legacy Award is for change makers in Nassau County who give back to the community by elevating and supporting the Girl Scout mission through their career or volunteer work. They are true leaders working to pave the way for a positive future for Girl Scouts and their families. The Impact Award recognizes emerging leaders under 40 who are currently giving back and making contributions to the Girl Scout mission and the larger Nassau County community. These emerging leaders represent the future of leadership in Nassau County.

Even If You’re Little You Can Do A Lot

Matilda Wormwood has astonishing wit, intelligence... and special powers! The Howitt Middle School Players proudly premiered their rendition of Roald Dahl’s Matilda on Wednesday, March 8th, to Farmingdale schools’ fifth-grade elementary students. The production’s music, choreography, acting, sets, scenery, and technical elements were top-notch due to the dedication and passion of Farmingdale staff members and students. The audience was thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

Durso Rallies With Highway Crews For Local Street And Highway Funding

Assemblyman Michael Durso (R-Massapequa Park) joined highway crew members and highway superintendents from all corners of the state for a rally in Albany to increase funding in this year’s budget to repair and repave local streets, highways and culverts. The rally focused on funding for the Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS), which Gov. Hochul refused to increase in her executive budget proposal.

“As a former sanitation worker and municipal employee, I’ve seen how hard our highway crews work, day and night, to keep up with the endless potholes and terrible conditions of our local streets. They’re doing their part and Albany needs to step up and do theirs,” Durso said.

The New York State Association of County Highway Superintendents and New York State Association of Town Superintendents of Highways, Inc. recently launched a ‘Local Roads are Essential’ advocacy campaign which coincides with today’s effort by legislators.

“Our taxes are sky high and settling for deficient bridges and cracked highways is unacceptable. Our families deserve peace of mind commuting to work and our businesses need dependable infrastructure when transporting their goods to market. I am calling on Gov. Hochul and leaders in both houses to join us and increase CHIPS funding in this year’s budget,” Durso concluded.

Labriola Announces New Co-Ed Pickleball Program

Oyster Bay Town Councilman Steve Labriola invites residents to take part in a new co-ed pickleball program, beginning April 4th at the Town of Oyster Bay’s Hicksville Athletic Center, located at 167 Broadway in Hicksville. Pickleball is available to individuals 18 years of age or older and offered for 10 weeks long and held on both Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7am to 9:30am.

Councilman Labriola stated, “Pickleball continues to be a growing sport in our communities and this program will provide an

even greater opportunity for fans to participate. Pickleball is a fun and social sport provides a great healthy activity for the whole family.”

Online registration is now available at www.oysterbaytown. com/parksportal. Space is limitedfirst come, first serve. Registration will close when the program reaches full capacity. Fees are $75 for residents and $100 for non-residents. Proof of residency requires individuals to upload a tax or utility bill and valid photo ID. Participants must provide their own racket.

Pickleball is a fun sport for all ages, played with a wooden paddle and lightweight plastic ball. The sport combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong and can include two, three or four players. It shares similarities to other racquet sports. The dimensions and layout closely resemble a badminton court, which is considerably smaller than a tennis court and rules of the game are somewhat similar to tennis. For more information, call (516) 797-7945 or email tobparks@ oysterbay-ny.gov.
