The Town Of Babylon Hosts The Wall That Heals Exhibit Helps Spread The Healing Legacy Of The Vietnam Veterans Memorial

The Town of Babylon will proudly host the traveling exhibit The Wall That Heals from October 5 to 8, 2023 at Tanner Park. A 375-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., the traveling exhibit pays tribute to over three million Americans who served in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War and bears the names of the 58,281 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. Similar to the exhibit, a smaller replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall drew thousands to Town Hall back in 1995.

“When we talked about doing this again, it was a nobrainer,” said Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer.

“We are grateful to have the opportunity to support our veterans in this meaningful manner and provide access to a powerful monument to all in our community. We would like to especially thank Charles Spencer for his instrumental role in bringing this exhibit to the Town.”

The Wall That Heals spreads the healing legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C.. This exhibit aids thousands of veterans in their healing process, empowering them to encounter The Wall in the familiarity of their own communities and emboldening their strength and courage. It also serves as an important source of peace for family and friends of veterans and

learning tool for others in the community.

“It is an honor to host The Wall That Heals,” said Chair of the Town of Babylon Veterans Advisory Council and Councilman DuWayne Gregory. “I believe it will truly have a profound impact on our residents and encourage all to engage with this important exhibit.”

Volunteers are needed while The Wall That Heals is on display at Tanner Park. To sign up, please fill out the form found at https://www.townofbabylon.com/FormCenter/ Veterans-13/The-Wall-That-Heals-Volunteer-SignUp-87?fbclid=IwAR0KAWGHFLe0W7GYBfi2z26zcxZfK2uwzc2pM1__BD7DtT6lZhGSs5vtow

What Are Clinical Trials?

Breast cancer treatments are highly effective, which is one reason why the National Cancer Institute can report that the five-year survival rate for non-metastatic breast cancer is 90 percent. However, in certain situations, doctors may feel that the existing standard for breast cancer treatment may not be enough to help women overcome their

disease. In such instances, doctors may discuss clinical trials with women battling breast cancer. The American Cancer Society defines clinical trials as research studies in which people volunteer to help doctors find ways to prevent or treat disease. The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® points out that all current standards of treatment began

as clinical trials. However, that does not mean women diagnosed with breast cancer should automatically sign up to participate in clinical trials. There are pros and cons to participating in clinical trials, and breast cancer patients can speak with their medical teams about the advantages and disadvantages of each trial they’re considering. One

myth worth dispelling is that clinical trials are only an option for people who have been diagnosed with advanced stage cancer. In fact, the NCI notes that clinical trials are available for all stages of cancer. A database of NCI-supported clinical trials can be found at https://www.cancer.gov/ about-cancer/treatment/ clinical-trials/search.

Helping You Help Others

By Noelle Lambert

The Charity of the Month for April is Rebuilding Together Long Island

www.rebuildingtogether.org

West Gates Students Celebrate International Women’s Day

Rebuilding Together

Long Island (RTLI) is a nonprofit organization, headquartered in Farmingdale, serving Nassau County and most of Su olk County. As an a liate of the national organization, Rebuilding Together, their mission is repairing homes, revitalizing communities and rebuilding lives.

To accomplish their vision of safe and healthy homes for everyone, they provide free essential home safety repairs and modifications for economicallydisadvantaged homeowners, whether they are older adults, veterans, families or persons with a disability or limited mobility.

Although RTLI’s teams work year round, April is a particularly important month because it is National Rebuilding Month. “Too many Americans su er from the health and economic consequences of living in substandard housing and under served communities,” said Caroline Blakely, President & CEO of Rebuilding Together. “National Rebuilding Month serves as an annual month-long call to service to encourage people to support their neighbors, strengthen their community and ensure everyone is living in safe and healthy homes.”

RTLI together with its 120 sister a liates will all look to surpass last year’s accomplishment of working with over 13,000 volunteers to repair close to 800 homes and over 150 community centers nationwide. As you drive around Long Island, watch for RTLI’s lawn signs. If you see one, you will know their volunteers are hard at work helping someone who needs a helping hand.

Once accepted into the program, each home receives a safety check of every room. Each home has its own challenges. RTLI also listens to the homeowner to determine their priorities. Hazards and unsafe conditions are noted and given to the volunteer crews so they can prepare a materials list and then

get to work. Minor plumbing and electrical repairs may be made, but they may also do weatherization, flooring (if the current floor is a hazard), sheet rock repair and a myriad of other repairs. If someone has limited mobility, a wheelchair ramp may be constructed, grab bars and railings installed, doorways widened where possible to accommodate a wheelchair. Conversions of bathtubs to walk-in showers can also be done and under certain circumstances, a stair glide may be installed. While RTLI cannot always take care of every issue in the home, they will tell you that every home they work on is left safer than is was and the lives of its residents are improved when the project is complete! So how can you help?

•If you know someone who may benefit from their services, have them call the RTLI o ce at 631.777.7894, Monday – Friday, to see if they qualify for the free program.

•Join the RTLI team! Volunteers can sign up at rebuildingtogetherli.org/ volunteer-today. Currently they are looking for individuals who are fluent in Spanish and for an o ce person, particularly if they are familiar with Salesforce. Additionally, if you are handy with tools, the Nassau and Su olk crew teams are always looking for more help.

•Donate at rebuildingtogetherli. org. RTLI relies on the donations of our neighbors, some grants and corporate sponsorships, as they do not receive any government funding.

•RTLI encourages local business to get involved and sponsor a project. The organization can find the right project for your business to sponsor and you can then promote your generosity on social media to show your commitment to improving the health and safety of someone in need locally.

When we work together, we can bring about transformational change quickly in our communities. Stay tuned for next week’s article to learn more.

If your non-profit would like to be featured in this column,please email noellelambert@longislandmediagroup.com for consideration.

New York State Senator Monica R. Martinez Introduces Legislation To Provide Increased Protections For Wild And Exotic Animals

Senator Monica R. Martinez introduced bill S6211 which establishes a definition for exotic animals and expands the existing definition of wild animals. The bill further prohibits exotic animals from being

harbored, traded, imported, sold or owned as pets in the same way as wild animals.

“Wild and exotic animals require specific conditions and environments to survive. The habitats in which these animals live in the wild are

far from conditions that exist in New York. Any business operating with the intent of profiting by selling these exotic animals should be held accountable under the law for the unethical treatment of animals,” stated

Senator Martinez

The bill clearly defines a wild animal as an indigenous, non-domesticated animal native to the country in which they live, and an exotic animal as a wild animal with an origin of a different continent. The bill further lists all families and orders that would be protected some of which include sloths, kangaroos, hyenas, elephants, wallabies and armadillos. This bill has swiftly garnered support from a number of organizations.

John Di Leonardo, Anthrozoologist and Executive Director of Humane Long Island said, “Humane Long Island applauds Senator Martinez for introducing essential legislation to amend New York State’s prohibition on keeping wild animals to include exotic animals such as sloths and kangaroos. Sloths are tree-dwelling,

tropical animals with sharp teeth and four-inch claws. They are mostly deaf and nearly blind when exposed to bright light. Red kangaroos are the largest marsupial in the world, growing up to 6ft tall and weighing up to 200lbs. A pet Gray kangaroo, which is roughly half the size of a Red kangaroo, made international news last year after he killed his owner and blocked paramedics from reaching him before being shot dead by the police. Wild animals are not pets and treating them like dogs or cats endangers children and animals alike.”

Edita Birnkrant, Executive Director of NYCLASS said, “NYCLASS is thrilled that NY State Senator Martinez has introduced much-needed legislation to expand the definition of ‘wild’ animals prohibited from being imported, sold or owned in New York. This important bill will

prevent thousands of nonnative animals from being exploited and endangered by wildlife traffickers recklessly selling these animals to New Yorkers who may not understand that animals such as sloths, kangaroos, ostriches, emus and many others should never be pets. NYCLASS strongly supports the passage of this bill and will work with the Senator to help enact it into law.”

“I look forward to working with my colleagues to garner additional support and pass this much needed legislation. It is inhumane and unethical for wild and exotic animals to be sold or kept as pets in New York State. These are not animals that should be closely interacting with people on a daily basis,” stated Senator Martinez. This bill would not apply to zoological facilities, wildlife sanctuaries and other exclusions under current law.

Friends Of America’s Vet Dogs Chinese Auction Fundraiser April 15

A local volunteer community service group, whose mission is to provide service dogs to assist veterans-in-need, recently donated $12,700 to America’s Vet Dogs –sponsoring two more service dogs.

“Friends of America’s Vet Dogs” started in 2015 and has successfully sponsored 31 highly trained service dogs for veterans since. The group carefully names each dog to honor an unsung hero of our military, to honor someone who

brought great credit to our military or to recognize someone who significantly helped veterans-in-need.

Their most recent donation enabled the sponsoring of Service Dogs ‘Tammy’ and ‘Kyle’. In 2016 the group sponsored and named Service Dog ‘Sully’, who went on to serve President George W. Bush. ‘Sully’ now continues to serve wounded veterans at Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

“Friends of America’s

Vet Dogs” will hold their primary annual fundraiser, a walk-through style Chinese Auction, in Sayville on April 15. To support their mission or for information regarding the Chinese Auction event, contact group co-founders Cliff Miller or Patricia Summers at (631) 567-9493 or write to Friends of America’s Vet Dogs, Attention Cliff Miller, PO Box 18, Bohemia, NY 117160018. Any checks should be made payable to “America’s Vet Dogs”, which is a 501c3 non-profit corporation.
