you or a classmate.

• Think carefully before you post comments online. Data remains online indefinitely, and your words and actions today can greatly affect your future.

• Respect others online by refraining from demeaning or bullying comments.

• Do not try to get around firewalls and blocked websites set up by school administrators. These limitations are there for your protection.

• Stick to school-sanctioned assignments and internet browsing when using school-issued devices.

Administrators may have the right to monitor student activity without students’ knowledge and you can easily get yourself in trouble.

• It is easy to hide or fake one’s identity on the internet, so never take someone you meet or speak with online at face value. Never meet up with someone you do not know or only met online.

• Talk to your parents or educators about extortion and ransomware that tries to trick you into providing payment in some shape or form to prevent a perpetrator from releasing private information about you, advises the Readiness and Emergency for Schools Technical Assistance Center.

Various steps can be taken to promote cyber safety among students, parents and administrators.

FARMINGDALE - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 19, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

People rely on the internet every day.

In recent months, reliance on digital technology was pushed even further as social distancing measures had the world going online for school and work and to maintain relationships with friends and family.

A 2018 report from Pew Research Center indicated that nearly 25 percent of young adults in America reported being online almost constantly.

Common Sense Media says teens spend an average of nine hours a day online, compared to roughly six hours for those between the ages eight and 12 and 50 minutes for kids younger than eight.

Students must exercise caution when spending time online. Connectivity can be empowering, but it also puts students at risk from others and even their own, sometimes irresponsible behaviors. Staying safe online should remain a priority for students who must spend more time on the internet and using digital education tools.

These are some tips for maintaining cyber safety.

• Exercise caution when sharing information like your name, address, phone number, and other personal data online. Check with a trusted parent or teacher before sharing private data.

• Report any online activity that makes you feel uncomfortable, scared or confused, whether it is directed at

Donating Blood The Foods You Eat Could Affect Whether Or Not You Can Donate The foods a person eats before attempting to donate blood could affect whether or not he or she is allowed to donate.

According to the American Red Cross, its staff members routinely check the level of hemoglobin in donors’ blood and platelets before they accept donations. Hemoglobin is

a protein in the body that contains iron and gives blood its distinctive red color. Hemoglobin plays a vital role in human health, carrying oxygen from the lungs to nourish all of the tissues in the body.

Hemoglobin levels are checked using fingersticks, and if hemoglobin levels are low, then donors

will be asked to wait to donate until their levels return to normal. So what does food have to do with hemoglobin? Iron is a part of hemoglobin and found in many of the foods a person eats. Iron helps people maintain their strength and energy, and it’s also necessary to help the body make new

The Benefits Of A New Approach To Learning For Students

The validity of the adage “necessity is the mother of invention” was on full display during the COVID-19 outbreak.

People quickly had to learn to adapt to a new way of life, including an educational system that was transformed dramatically by social distancing guidelines.

More than 76 million students are enrolled in United States schools, per the latest Census Bureau information.

In 2018, 2.12 million students were in Canadian postsecondary institutions alone. In a matter of days, millions of students who once attended classes inperson were forced to transition to virtual learning instruction. The process showed just how flexible learning systems can be, and how virtual instruction may become more than an emergency protocol in the future.

Schools utilized systems like Google Classroom, Canvas and virtual meeting apps to connect and learn. While inclass lessons provide the socialization and

one-on-one interaction that can be vital for students’ academic success, there are many different reasons why virtual instruction can be a key component of learning models as well.

When virtual learning is used in conjunction with traditional teaching, students may have a more well-rounded experience.

Here are some potential benefits that may unfold as more data is collected.

• Pace: Virtual learning affords students the chance to work on lessons at a pace that fits their individual needs.

Students can go back and re-read or re-work problems until they’re satisfied they have learned their lesson. Lessons can be slowed down or sped up depending on proficiency, creating a customized educational experience.

• No more weather days: Many school districts include snow or extreme weather days into their calendars, adding on extra days at the end of school year to meet the specified number of educational days. Remote

learning can take over in these times and keep school districts from having to pad calendars.

• Convenience: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that middle and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later to provide students the best chance to get the amount of sleep they need. Still, most adolescents currently start school before 8:30 a.m. Remote learning enables students to complete their assignments when it works best for them. This may help them get more sleep, too.

• Apps: Learning apps are a new wave of educational tools that have helped buoy virtual instruction.

Primary school students or those with individual education plans may benefit the most from reinforced app skills that match their learning pace in fun ways.

Virtual home instruction may become a large part of the educational landscape even after it’s no longer a social distancing necessity.

How To Find A Tutor For Your Child

Tutors provide an invaluable service to students across the globe. Students at all grade levels utilize tutors, and the results such tutors produce may surprise even the most ardent tutor supporters.

A 2009 study from researchers at the Chabot College Office of Institutional Research found that tutored students had higher pass rates on average than non-tutored students in every class examined. Those classes included anatomy, biology, business, and chemistry. In addition, one study published in the American Journal of Physics found that human tutoring can result in classroom test scores that are 35 percent higher than software-driven tutoring.

Such results have understandably made many parents true believers in the power of tutoring. Parents who want their children to work with tutors but don’t know where to find one can try these strategies.

• Contact your child’s school. Many schools offer free tutoring programs, and such programs can provide the one-on-one attention students need to understand their lessons. Afterschool tutoring programs offered by schools also may provide curriculumspecific tutoring that aligns directly with what students are being taught in the classroom. Schools also may have information about local private tutors and tutoring firms, so parents should

not hesitate to contact their children’s school.

• Ask around. Fellow parents can be great resources when looking for tutors. Other parents can share their own experiences working with certain tutors, and may be able to point you in the direction of tutors who specialize in certain areas, such as mathematics or the sciences.

• Contact local community organizations. Local community organizations such as the YMCA also may offer free or low-cost tutoring programs to members or even nonmembers. Parents are urged to consider these programs, as they may be staffed by local college students, including undergraduates and postgraduates. When speaking with local organizations, ask how they choose their tutors and inquire about the educational backgrounds of those tutors.

• Consider online tutoring services.

Online tutoring services are another option, and one that can be especially valuable for families that live in remote or rural areas where in-person access to tutors may be hard to find. Search the internet for online tutoring services, making sure to read reviews and even request testimonials from past clients before signing up.

Parents have numerous resources at their disposal that can help them find tutors for their children.

the vapor to be ignited from the hot generator exhaust, and caused significant damage to the house,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran.

County Executive Curran and the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office offer the following safety guidelines for residents installing or using a portable generator.

Never use a generator indoors or in enclosed spaces.

This includes garages, crawl spaces, and basements. Opening windows will not help.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide poisoning caused by inadequate ventilation has been an all too common tragedy following natural disasters and blackouts.

Recognize signs and symptoms of CO poisoning, which includes dizziness, headaches, nausea, and tiredness.

If you or someone else should experience these symptoms, get them to fresh air immediately and seek medical attention.

Only fill generators with fuel when the generator is turned off and cool.

Fueling a hot generator can cause vapors to ignite. Before refueling, shut down the generator and allow it to cool. Fuel cans should be stored and

transported in approved vented containers marked with their contents. Filling gas cans must be done on the ground and not inside of a vehicle or the bed of a truck, with the vehicle turned off.

Generators should have at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides and above to ensure adequate ventilation. Watch out for the exhaust of your generator that the fumes do not come back into your home or the home of a neighbor and are kept away from fresh air intakes.

If you are powering your home, make sure that a licensed electrician installs the equipment.

Your electrical service main should be set to the off position. Do not create a condition where you feed power back into the grid and potentially seriously injure the same electrical utility workers trying to help you.

Keep generators out of the rain and avoid creating static electricity around them, especially when fueling the tank.

All generators should be grounded. Connect to a grounding rod, then to the generator frame itself, with a grounding cable or suitable copper wire.

Saladino Welcomes Bolla Market and Tim Hortons to Merrick Road at Grand Opening Ceremony

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (center left with scissors) joined with his colleagues in government, community leaders and the owners and staff of Bolla Market in celebrating their grand opening at 4030 Merrick Road in Seaford (located in the Town of Oyster Bay). Bolla Market is a chain of highly regarded convenience stores and gas stations, and this new Seaford location includes a Tim Horton’s coffee shop. Supervisor Saladino welcomed Bolla Market to the Town of Oyster Bay and presided over the ribbon cutting ceremony and presented Bolla Oil CEO Harry Singh with a citation, wishing him great success.

LaMarca Offers Residents Free ‘Do Not Knock’ Stickers

Oyster Bay Town Clerk Richard LaMarca announced today that residents who wish to deter any potential door-to-door solicitors and peddlers can obtain a free, waterproof, vinyl ‘No Soliciting’ sticker through the Town Clerk’s Office.

Town Clerk LaMarca stated, “Now more than ever, our Town residents wish to remain unbothered at home by the potential nuisance of door-to-door peddlers. My office offers free ‘No Soliciting’ stickers to homeowners as a way to set clear boundaries with anyone approaching your home looking to LIFESAVING GENERATOR SAFETY TIPS - Nassau County Executive Laura do unwanted business.

Curran and Assistant Chief Fire Marshal Michael Uttaro highlight the importance of Contact us today for a free generator safety. sticker.”

Town Clerk LaMarca further cautioned residents to remember a few simple guidelines to help avoid any potential pitfalls of being taken in by a fasttalking peddler or solicitor.

Residents are advised to check for a current Townissued photo identification badge prior to doing any business with a door-todoor peddler. Photo ID issued by the Town Clerk’s Office is a good form of protection because it is issued only after an indepth background check of the individual has been made and full disclosure of the nature of their business is provided.

While nonprofit organizations are not required by law to have

permits, Town Clerk LaMarca has urged these organizations to inform his office about when and where their members will be soliciting, with the information then forwarded to the local police precinct, along with the solicitor’s names. This provides residents with another way of checking any official status a solicitor may have.

To obtain a free, waterproof, vinyl ‘No Soliciting’ sticker, please call (516) 6246333, and visit the www. oysterbaytown.com for further information on services offered by the Oyster Bay Town Clerk.

FARMINGDALE - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 19, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Isaias and in anticipation of an extremely active hurricane season, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran was recently joined by the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office to highlight and demonstrate safe generator installation and use. A growing number of local residents are purchasing generators for their homes to prepare for potential storm-related outages.

However, recent incidents have demonstrated that generators can pose a serious threat if installed or used improperly.

“As we continue to address Isaias aftermath and hold PSEG accountable, let’s keep an eye on what could be a record-setting storm season. Many residents are installing or using portable generators during storm season, and we want to make sure everyone is staying safe.

Portable generators can be a lifesaver during power outages, but when used or installed improperly they can be extremely dangerous.

Recently, a South Farmingdale homeowner lost their home after filling a hot generator with gasoline from a gas can that caused

docks and on sidewalks as a safe alternative. At this time, we do not have any plans or see the necessity to close the streets for outdoor dining. · Signs regarding safety protocols were designed and put out on A-frame signs throughout the village encouraging social distancing, mask wearing and hand sanitizing. · The Board of Trustees and myself met continually to ensure that New York State rules for openings were being complied with and ALL safety measures are being taken. Also, we were in constant communication with County Executive Laura Curran and Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino.

Thank you everyone for following the guidelines in our Village! The restaurants and businesses have been very cooperative with enforcing the regulations in their establishments. We know it’s been a challenge; but from what the data shows, everything we are doing seems to be helping!

Marc Herbst, the Executive Director of the Long Island Contractor’s Association, gave us some updates regarding the status of the rehabilitation of State Route 109. The contract was recently awarded to J Anthony Enterprises of Hauppauge, and we are glad to see that the State is still moving forward with this project and expect it to be done before the cold weather sets in. And as you can see, the Village roads continue to be repaved.

On behalf of the Farmingdale Village Board of Trustees and myself, we thank everyone for their understanding and cooperation during this crisis, stay safe and healthy – brighter days are ahead!

The Village website is a great resource so check it often for information, news and bulletins, www. farmingdalevillage.com.

Stay well, Mayor Ralph Ekstrand

How To Clean And Sanitize A Backpack Backpacks are useful tools for students and adults alike. From hiking supplies to school books to sports equipment, backpacks can store just about anything. As veritable workhorses, they’re bound to get dirty and can benefit from periodic cleaning.

While it may be tempting to simply throw a backpack into the washing machine, it is important to check the care instructions first.

Some canvas, nylon and fabric backpacks can go in the wash, but those made of leather or those with intricate details should not. Backpack manufacturers also advise against putting backpacks in a dryer.

Here are steps to cleaning a backpack.

1. To get started, begin by removing any items from the backpack, including all of the pockets. If necessary, use a vacuum to get crumbs out of the backpack.

2. Check the care label to see if there are washing instructions. This will determine if you should wash it by hand or if it can be put in the machine.

3. If the bag can be machine-washed, turn it inside out first or place it in a pillowcase so that the straps and zippers will not be caught. Then wash it on a gentle setting with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. If the bag should be hand-washed, use lukewarm water and a soft sponge or a gentle bristle brush.

The outdoor retailer REI says you do not want to harm any protective coatings on the pack.

4. Zippers need occasional cleaning to remove dirt, sand or crumbs. Many zippers have water-resistant coatings so do not scrub them. Use a lubricant made for zippers to help them slide smoothly.

5. Hang the bag to air dry upside down. It likely will dry more quickly outdoors, but avoid direct sunlight, which can compromise the integrity of the fabric or discolor the backpack.

6. Do not store or use the backpack until it is completely dry.

7. Sometimes a backpack may need to be disinfected to prevent the growth of fungus or bacteria. Athlete’s foot fungus can easily transfer from socks and shoes to the backpack if gym clothes are left in the bag. The Spruce says to skip chlorine bleach and use a pine oil or phenolic disinfectant or a disinfectant wipe, such as Pine Sol or Spic-n-Span. Lysol brand disinfectant also can be used and is available in liquid formula or spray.

If a backpack is waterproof, only wash it once or twice per year; otherwise, you may reduce the pack’s ability to repel water. Use cleansing wipes to spot clean when necessary.

Backpacks can get grimy quickly.

Routine washing can freshen them right up.

Tropical Storm Isaias obviously caused extensive damage and outages across Nassau County. The storm charged through Long Island on Tuesday afternoon August 4 with high winds that impacted/knocked out power to approximately 420,000 LI residents, canceled dozens of flights, toppled trees, downed wires and forced the Long Island Rail Road to shut down.

While drenching rains had initially been predicted, it turned out that the fastmoving storm’s fiercest punch was its winds. The National Weather Service said the storm, which lasted just several hours, produced wind gusts ranging from 60 to 70 mph, including a 78-mph gust recorded at Republic Airport in East Farmingdale that ranked as the strongest gust in the New York Metro area. “I think that is the highest we have seen on the Island, but we are still going through all the data,” said local meteorologist Brian Ciemnecki, from the National Weather Service.

We all saw how emergency response teams dove into the restoration efforts and according to PSEG, the remaining outages from the storm are expected to be completed at the time of this writing. Many Long Island residents have criticized PSEG for the outages, response time, communication issues and more, but given the magnitude of the damage in Nassau-Suffolk, state and local officials said the damage could have been considerably worse However; locally we are extremely proud how the Farmingdale Village Staff handled the storm! While of course; many trees were down; our DPW Department

were out there immediately cleaning and restoring; as they have done in the past.

Once again, we salute them!

Thankfully most people have their power, phones, and internet back. As usual the Village remains in close contact with PSEG to assist in any way we can.

Questions continue to come in about Farmingdale Village’s perspective and handling of COVID 19, so in response; here are some key points: · Initially upon learning of the rising danger of this Virus (in mid-March) we canceled the St. Patrick’s Day parade; which of course was a very tough decision!

Notably while places such as Huntington had their parade, they were later noted as additional hot spots for COVID-19. · As updated information came, arrived; on an almost daily basis we reacted to all updates immediately and tried to keep the public and merchants informed. · Updates were issued via Robocalls and Constant Contact emails on all safety and containment recommendations. · Masks were given out to Senior complexes in the Village and on the Village Green to residents. And the Mayor and Trustees also delivered masks to Seniors unable to get to the Village Green. · We developed a mapping plan with local merchants for outside dining on the streets and loading zones. · In early May there was a lot of talk about closing the streets for more Outdoor Dining. When we discussed it at our merchant meetings, the restaurant owners had mixed feelings and we were concerned about overcrowding and getting the necessary public safety resources such as police and security during a pandemic.

Luckily, they were able to open up the inside at 50% earlier than was originally anticipated and we also were able to create additional outside seating at loading

Helping You Help Others By: Noelle Stanuch

Noelle@SouthBaysNeighbor.com

TAKING A LOOK BACK! This August I have been “taking a look back” at articles I have published in the past, giving various charities another chance at exposure. During these tough times, it is very important we continue to help others and support local charities where we can. Enjoy this past article about a wonderful non-profit, New Ground.

FARMINGDALE - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 19, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

New Ground is a non-profit organization that helps to break the cycle of homelessness right here in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

This organization began all from the vision of an educator that was committed to providing a safe haven for those living in poverty. This educator saw that shelters were only providing a short-term fix to a problem that needed a real, lasting solution.

After envisioning an organization that provided a holistic suite of support services while empowering participants to help themselves, she founded New Ground in 1991 to do just that.

New Ground, based in Levittown, offers Veterans and families the following main programs to truly help them conquer homelessness: their Long Term Housing Program, their JumpStart Program and their Veterans Program. Their services include Adult Workshops, Career Development, Education Advocacy, Education Assistance, Financial Literacy, Reading All-Stars, Special Memories and Tutoring.

Their Long Term Housing Program combines affordable housing with New Ground’s intensive services. Currently this includes a home in Huntington with two homeless Veteran families, a home in Bethpage under renovations and plans to add more housing units. For 3-5 years, New Ground provides all the needed educational, vocational and counseling services to the family members living in this housing, as well as basic needs and general support.

Residents also take time with a social worker and put together a plan of how they can reach their goals. All residents pay an affordable rent and although New Ground assists them with various costs and hurdles they may face, they truly get the feeling of being a responsible homeowner.

additional homeless families on their waitlist for the Long Term Housing Program. This Program is open to any homeless families, not just Veterans, and is intended to give families a jump-start on accomplishing their goals. When these families later transition into the Long Term Housing Program, they are well on their way toward realizing the steps needed to secure an independent future.

A primary social worker is assigned to all families in both of these programs once they start with the organization. New Ground social workers provide guidance, resources and assistance to the families in various areas.

The New Ground Veterans Program is another very important part to their organization. Homeless Veterans can get placed in reduced cost housing and be provided with intensive social work and education services by New Ground to assist them with achieving goals in the areas of employment, financial literacy, education, career development, parenting, basic life skills, education advocacy and more. In 2016 their services were expanded so they can serve an even greater number of Veteran households. Through collaboration with the Northport VA Center, New Ground began offering their programs to over 400 homeless Veteran households in their Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing Program.

Since opening their doors, New Ground has seen over 80% of the families they have served “graduate” from their programs self sufficient and into permanent stable housing. New Ground empowers children, parents and Veterans to achieve their goals so that they can secure a brighter future for generations to come!

New Ground is a huge help to the homeless community on Long Island and is there for those in need. If you would like to inquire about assistance from this organization, please call their office at 516.564.4764 or email Diane Serenita, their Director of Development and Events, at dserenita@ newground.org.

New Ground’s JumpStart Program launched in 2012 to expand these critical services to

How College Students Can Confront Returning To Campus The world’s response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus left no aspect of life untouched.

People from all walks of life had to make sacrifices to prevent the spread of the potentially deadly virus, and college students were no exception.

Many colleges and universities abruptly canceled in-person classes in mid-March 2020, forcing students to finish their coursework via remote learning. That response had a significant impact on the 201920 school year, and the virus figures to affect the upcoming school year just as much.

This year participants can walk, run and fundraise at their own pace and distance in their own neighborhoods. In addition, the St. Jude Walk/Run mobile app, is available in the Apple app store and on Google

Play, to provide a unique experience to participants that includes a virtual tour of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and some engagement opportunities using augmented reality.

Funds raised through events like this help

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened nearly 60 years ago. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
