On Sunday, September 19, the Village of Village of Farmingdale Cultural Arts Committee sponsored the 10th Annual Art in the Park, where local artists were celebrated as they showcased their many talents. Women’s Club of Farmingdale members were on hand to help organize and set up, including Fran Rotondo, Ingrid Hernandez and Val Thieke. Fran Rotondo was one of the many artists displaying her beautiful artwork.

On Saturday, October 9, Vicky Impollonia, Chair of the Ways & Means Committee and her committee members, held a “Bake n Buy” Sale on the Farmingdale Village Green.

Members and friends baked cookies, scones, biscotti, and breads, etc. to raise money for the club’s annual awards to deserving Farmingdale High School seniors who are planning to further their education

OVER 48 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Several community events were held recently in downtown Farmingdale and enjoyed by hundreds of “Dalers” and others from the Long Island area.

The Farmingdale Cultural Arts Committee sponsored “Shakespeare on the Green” with two performances (October 2 and 3) by Eastline Theatre of “Romeo and Juliet.”

Attendees enjoyed the free theater performances of Romeo and Juliet and the nice fall weather. We look forward to additional theater performances On the Green in 2022!

The Farmingdale Fire Department organized a successful Columbus Weekend Carnival, Fair and Parade.

The weather held out for the majority of the weekend and many attendees enjoyed the activities – including newly added Magic Shows, Disney Characters, new rides, games, live music; and the street fair on Main Street with over 100 vendors. Congratulations to all at the Farmingdale Fire Department for their tremendous efforts. The Farmingdale Breakfast Rotary Club also held a fun, successful Doggie Parade and Fair On the Village Green during the Columbus weekend. (photo courtesy of Nassau County) Our wonderful friend Carol Silva – 40year veteran news anchor from News12, cancer survivor, and St. Patrick’s Day Parade Grand Marshal, was back on Main Street on October 9th, this time at Charlotte’s Speakeasy for a soldout TedxFarmingdale event – Origins & Evolution. Carol serves as a stellar example of the impact of positivity, and the audience was elated with the event - they couldn’t say enough good things about the impact of the event.

Additional notable speakers at the event included: Lisa Mateo, an anchor for Bloomberg Radio, Father and son Mark X. Cronin and John Cronin of John’s Crazy Socks, among others.

George Andriopoulos, Executive Producer, organizer, and licensee of TEDxFarmingdale, along with the curation team, held a phenomenal event, which can be viewed/heard on YouTube, http://tedxfarmingdale. com/2021-presenters.

“Bringing the TEDx platform for the last three years to the place I call home has been an incredibly fulfilling experience,” Andriopoulos said. “I believe in Farmingdale, and I think it is the epicenter of culture, commerce

and creativity here on Long Island. Bringing these brilliant and innovative speakers to the TEDxFarmingdale stage further solidifies what we’re about as a community. This event continuously educates and inspires me, and I hope it continues to be an inspiration to others as well.” Congratulations to Nick and John DeVito, brothers/owners of Charlotte’s Speakeasy, all of the speakers, and to George and the entire curation team on the successful event.

The community is invited to attend and salute all Veterans at the annual Farmingdale Veterans Day Service on the Village Green, 361 Main Street, on Thursday, November 11, 2021 at 11 AM.

With the cool weather months ahead, the AMA urges Americans to call their physician’s office to learn if they are due for preventive care or screenings.

The opening days of October brought with it a renewed sense of Farmingdale School District pride as the district kicked off its annual Spirit Week. The week-long festivities were marked by daily themes and events that brought students and faculty together to show their Daler pride.

“We are a district full of creative, talented, intelligent, and driven students,” said

Superintendent Paul Defendini. “Spirit Week is a time where we can all come together and celebrate that.”

The week started with Farmingdale students adding a pop of color with bright neon attire.

On Wednesday, schools were filled with magic as students wore their favorite Disney apparel.

Students had a rootin’tootin’ time wearing county gear on Thursday.

Spirit Week culminated with “Let’s Go, Dalers Friday,” in which students decked out had to toe in their best Farmingdale apparel to show their pride for their district.

The pride displayed by this week’s events showed that being a Daler means having a lifelong support system and that once you’re a part of the Farmingdale family, you’re always a part of the Farmingdale family.

The Best Way To Spread Christmas Cheer Is Singing Loud For All To Hear!

ong Island’s largest year-round, professional theatrical venue, The Argyle Theatre (Mark and Dylan Perlman, Managing Partners; Evan Pappas, Artistic Director), presents the iconic family favorite ELF The Musical with book by Thomas Meehan & Bob Martin, music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin and based on the New Line Cinema Film written by David Berenbaum. Performances begin Thursday, November 11th for a limited engagement through Sunday afternoon, January 2nd at The Argyle

Theatre (34 West Main Street, Babylon). ELF The Musical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International.

Directed by Evan Pappas, with choreography by Valerie Wright and music direction by Emma Weiss, the cast will feature Timothy Fraser as Buddy, Carolina Miranda as Jovia, Mark Epperson as Walter, Michelle Mallardi as Emily, Tamara Daly as Deb, Robert Anthony Jones as Santa/Mr. Greenway, Korie Lee Blossey as Store Manager, Kieran Brown and Landon Forlenza as Michael, as well as Katie Buckert, Melissa Goldberg, Garrison Hunt, Tre Kanaley, Molly Model, Drew Reese, Lucas Ryan, Mikaela Rada, Garret Shin, and Melissa Strain.

Mark and Dylan Perlman, Argyle Managing Partners, shared “We are thrilled to ring in the season with the holiday show of our generation: ELF The Musical.”

They went on to say, “Experience this heartwarming holiday theatre magic that is sure to be a blast for the whole family! With our Artistic Director Evan Pappas at the helm and an absolute all-star team behind this production it is sure to be a holiday spectacular you don’t want to miss!”

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is

actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

This modern-day holiday classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner Elf. After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear!

The creative team includes Set Design by Tim Golebiewski, Costume by Jolene Richardson, Lighting Design by John Salutz, and Sound Design by Carlos Dias, Jr. The Technical Director is Michael Kauffman and Production Coordinator is Alison Savino. The Production Stage Manager is Craig Matthew with Assistant Stage Managers Emily Todt and Shannon Stewart. The Casting Director is Michael Cassara, CSA.

LaMarca Invites Residents To Properly License Their Dogs As Adoptions Grow

MY JERSEY, YOUR IMPACT - Farmingdale High School’s Athletic Department has kicked off a new game day tradition called “My Jersey, Your Impact.” Senior Varsity Captains select a teacher who has made an impact on them during their years at Farmingdale High School, then surprise them with a Dalers jersey that reads, “I made an impact on the life of an athlete.” Faculty members wear the jersey for the remainder of the school day and later attend the captain’s home game, cheering loudly from the sidelines.

With a large number of new adoptions taking place over the past year, Oyster Bay Town Clerk Richard LaMarca invites residents who have not done so already to utilize the Town Clerk’s Office to properly license their dog.

In the Town of Oyster Bay, once a dog reaches four months of age, the owner is required by Town Code to obtain a dog license and verification tag. Licenses are valid for one year.

Town Clerk LaMarca stated, “With the unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been reports of large increases in the adoption rates of pets for companionship, especially dogs. If you have recently adopted a dog, now is the time to license it to ensure its safety and identification in case it gets lost! Each year, hundreds of beloved family dogs are lost because these animals do not have identification tags and cannot be identified and returned to

their owners. A dog license allows everyone to know your dog has a home, and also signals that your dog is up-to-date on its rabies shot. To put it simply: if you love your dog, license it! This simple act can only serve to protect our furry friends.”

Dog licenses are issued to dogs four months of age or older for a 12 month period. The license must be renewed annually, and in order to license your dog, dog owners must provide the following minimum information: Name, residence address and phone number of owner Name, sex, approximate age, breed, color, markings and other identifying details of the dog Provide certification of spaying or neutering Proof of a valid rabies vaccination Town Clerk LaMarca noted that there is no fee for licensing any guide dog, hearing dog, service

dog, war dog, detection dog, or police dog. Licenses are non-transferable and in the event of a change in ownership of any dog, all licenses must be updated within 10 days of such change. Licensed dogs must wear an identification tag, affixed to its collar, provided by the Town Clerks office at the time of licensing.

To obtain an application for a dog license, please visit the Town Clerk’s Office at Town Hall North in Oyster Bay or Town Hall South in Massapequa, or at the Town’s Animal Shelter, located at 150 Miller Place in Syosset. The license fee is $15 for an unneutered or unsprayed dog and $10 for a neutered or spayed dog.

Fees for senior citizens are $5 with proof of age.

For more information on obtaining a license for your dog, please contact Town Clerk Richard LaMarca’s office at (516) 624-6324 or visit www. oysterbaytown.com.

“It is a helpful frame of mind to ask yourself what you can add to a meal instead of taking away, like mixing in zucchini noodles with traditional noodles or adding in shredded vegetables to sauces or soups,” Wojciak said. “Experiment with new recipes and new preparations and see what works best for your family.”

In addition to using mealtime to intentionally connect, the American Heart Association offers these healthy tips for a healthier fall: Unplug to connect: September is a great reminder to eat regular meals at home with family.

Family meals reduce stress, boost self-esteem and make the whole family feel connected.[1] To help families have more fun at mealtime, the American Heart Association has conversation topics that are great for all ages.

Savor seasonal flavors: Fall brings new seasonal produce and recipe inspiration for family meals. Sign up to receive a free cookbook with hearthealthy, delicious recipes from the American Heart

Association and Kroger Health, a national sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Healthy for GoodTM initiative.

Spend time outside: Take advantage of cooler temperatures by spending time outdoors for better physical and mental wellbeing. Spending time outdoors has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood.[2] If you have a pet, get moving together! It’s a win-win for the health of you and your pet.

Shop smart: Grocery shopping can be overwhelming, no matter the season. To find foods that can be part of a heart-healthy eating pattern, keep an eye out for the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check mark.

Give thanks: Chronic, or constant, stress can have a negative impact on health, so it’s important to build in habits to reduce stress.

One great place to start is by practicing gratitude.

Write down three things you’re grateful for each day, or reach out to a friend or family member and tell them how much you appreciate them.

(StatePoint) The Peace Corps, established in 1961, partners with communities abroad to develop sustainable solutions for the world’s most pressing challenges at the grassroots level. While all volunteers returned home in March of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency is working to return to service and is now actively recruiting volunteers of backgrounds historically underrepresented in the organization, including African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Asian-Americans.

“As part of our mission, we seek to reflect the rich diversity of the United States abroad, bringing different perspectives and solutions to development issues in the countries we serve,” says Carol Spahn, acting director of the Peace Corps.

“We also seek to create inclusion – a culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility and fairness; and leverages diversity so that all individuals are able to contribute to their full potential.”

If you’re interested in Peace Corps service, here’s what to know.

New Challenges While Peace Corps service is demanding for every volunteer, being from a diverse ethnic background can introduce additional challenges, according to those who have served.

“I had to deal with

people’s expectations about Americans looking a certain way. About once a week I had to explain that Americans come from diverse backgrounds, and that I was just as much an American as any other Peace Corps volunteer,” says Neng Lee, a first-generation HmongAmerican who served as a health volunteer in the Kyrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzstan) from 2015 to 2017, and as a youth development volunteer from 2017 to 2019.

Valuable Assets In other cases, a diverse background can be an advantage.

“Integrating into Jamaican culture was easy due to the many similarities with my Mexican culture,” says Maria Elena Venegas Banulelos, a Spanish speaking, MexicanAmerican Peace Corps volunteer who served in Jamaica. “For instance, both Mexicans and Jamaicans are very religious, we enjoy a little spice in our food, and like to dress our best when in public. Both cultures love soccer, dancing and loud music. Also, the environments are similar in the structure of the homes and agricultural products, and both are home to the most humble people.”

This sentiment is shared by other volunteers as well.

“My color and my accent have not affected my volunteer work negatively,

instead this has allowed me to integrate well in my community, and people even call me ‘African,’” says Aboubakar Bodi, who was born in Togo and served in Jamaica.

Bringing Skills Home Peace Corps service can be an emotionally rewarding experience and an effective way to develop the skills needed to make a difference in one’s community back home. It can also be a key stepping stone in one’s career. Volunteers serve for 27 months in education, health, agriculture and other sectors, and upon their return, they are able to usher innovative solutions to collective problems in U.S. communities.

“I am very proud of having taught CPR and first aid to people in different villages in the Kyrgyz language. I also translated most of my CPR and first aid materials into Kyrgyz,” says Lee, who notes that, “Volunteering opens so many doors in the future, and the people you meet along the way will help you.”

“Volunteers are international cultural ambassadors representing the United States. That’s why it’s so important our body of volunteers actually reflects the diversity of the country,” says Spahn.

As we dive into another unpredictable fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Heart Association, a global force for longer, healthier lives for all, urges people to take time to nurture their body and mind for better overall health.

“After the past several months disrupted many of our typical routines, this fall is a great chance to reset and resume a more consistent work, school and family schedule. Start small by committing to eating more meals together as a family, said Anne Thorndike, M.D., MPH, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, director of the Metabolic Syndrome Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and volunteer chair of the American Heart Association’s Nutrition Committee.

“Routines can be a good way to provide structure and clarity during busy or stressful seasons, so scheduling in meals at home or regular exercise is not only good for physical health, but good for managing stress as well.”

When it comes to mealtime, there are plenty of clever ways to add in nourishing ingredients, reminds Bridget Wojciak, director of Nutrition at Kroger Health, a national
