12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding

Legislator Tom Donnelly Urges Residents Turning 65 To Apply for Property Tax Exemption

Town Employees Emphasize Women’s Cardiac Health

Deadline Is March 1 Regardless Of Birthday

ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2024 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

"GO RED FOR WOMEN” CAMPAIGN - Supervisor Carpenter and Islip Town employees wore red for the Town’s annual “Go Red for Women” campaign on Friday, February 2nd, during February, American Heart Month. Personnel from departments Town-wide contributed $5 each, to be donated to cardiac health and research programs at neighboring hospitals, Good Samaritan University Hospital and South Shore University Hospital.

RESIDENTS TURNING 65 SHOULD APPLY FOR PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION - Suffolk County Legislator Tom Donnelly, pictured right, discusses the many benefits seniors are entitled to at a recent “Legislator at Your Library” event at the North Babylon Library. Legislator Donnelly urges residents who are 65 or are turning 65 in 2024 to apply for the Senior Property Tax Exemption before the March 1 deadline. If you were born in 1959 and turning 65 this year, Suffolk County Legislator Tom Donnelly (D-Deer Park) would like to wish you a happy birthday and remind you to file your property tax exemption forms before March 1, regardless of your month and date of birth. This 65th birthday milestone entitles eligible seniors to important benefits including the Enhanced STAR tax reduction and the Senior Citizens Property Tax Exemption. Depending on total income, the reduction could be significant. The adjusted gross income threshold for Enhanced STAR is $98,700 (for 2022) and the income threshold for the Senior Citizens

Property Tax Exemption is $58,400 gross (for 2022). If you qualify, the two applications must be filed with your own Town Assessor on or before March 1 of the year you turn 65. Under New York State law, if you turn 65 after March 1 and wait until your birthday to file you will lose the next year’s exemption. In addition, if you were born prior to 1959 and think you are entitled to but not yet receiving STAR benefits, you also must apply before the March 1st deadline. The Enhanced STAR form is RP-425-E and RP-425-IVP; the Senior Citizens Property Tax Exemption form is RP-467. Applications are available online at:

https://www.tax.ny.gov/ pit/property/star/ivp.htm, on your Town’s website or may be picked up at the Assessor’s office in your respective Town Hall. For more information, contact your Town Assessor at the following phone numbers: In Babylon, the Town Assessors office phone number is (631) 957-3014 In Huntington, the Town Assessors office phone number is (631) 351-3226 In Islip, the Town Assessors office phone number is (631) 224-5585 “As our residents enter this special time in their lives, they should be able to enjoy all of the benefits that they have earned,” said Legislator Donnelly. “The dead

and women,” said Islip Town Supervisor, Angie Carpenter. “Today, the Town is shining a spotlight on women making a commitment to take charge of their own heart health and the health of those they love. We are grateful to our Town of Islip employees, who continue to embrace each and every opportunity to raise awareness, whether it be for breast cancer awareness, substance abuse treatment, or our wonderful partnership with the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program.

Today, hundreds of dollars were raised for cardiac health and research, and we are truly appreciative,” said the Supervisor. Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. Most cardiovascular diseases can still be prevented with education and healthy lifestyle changes, according to the American Heart Association.
