Suffolk Legislator Tom Donnelly (D-Deer Park) is pleased to inform Babylon and Huntington residents about the local Suffolk County Office for the Aging Fall 2024 Senior Advocate Schedule.

“It is so important for us to provide our senior citizens with the assistance and information they need in ways that are most convenient to them. These visits allow our seniors to
connect with our County’s senior advocates right in their own communities,” said Legislator Donnelly. “I hope all those interested in the services that the Suffolk County Office for the Aging provides will take advantage of this opportunity.”
This fall, Senior Advocates will be visiting the following locations in the Town of Babylon:

Small Business Saturday is
Why Supporting Local Small Businsesses Matters
The holiday season is a time of year when shopping takes center stage. While online giants and big box retailers seem to be everywhere, offering an endless array of products with the convenience of low prices, small businesses provide a range of benefits that go far beyond the ease of a mouse click or mountains of merchandise. Shopping local retailers is more than just a transactionit is crucial for maintaining the economic foundation of local communities.
Let’s take a look at the many ways it pays to shop small businesses during the holidays and all year long.
· Strengthen the local economy: A large percentage of the money spent at small
businesses stays in the community. That’s because these businesses often are owned and operated by local residents who are invested in the community themselves. Various studies indicate that for every $100 spent at a small business, roughly $70 stays in the community.
· Enhanced customer service: Owners and employees of small businesses have a keen interest in keeping customers happy. They often do so by providing superior customer service. Tailoring recommendations, exhibiting a willingness to accommodate special requests, offering a more engaging shopping experience, and being more friendly and connected with regular customers sets many small businesses apart.
· Support the community: Small businesses serve the community through the products and services they
offer, and many give back in other ways as well. Small, locally owned businesses often sponsor schools, sports teams and charities. This helps foster a sense of belonging in the community.
· Innovative offerings: Small businesses are not beholden to corporate policies or franchise restrictions, so they can more readily bring new life to existing ideas and trends. Small businesses can offer customers different options that larger retailers cannot match.
· Job creation: Small businesses employ a significant percentage of the workforce and frequently provide jobs that might not be available in larger corporate settings. The U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy says small businesses have generated 12.9 million net new jobs over the past 25 years, accounting for two out of every three jobs added to the U.S. economy. Keeping residents working helps strengthen local communities.
There are numerous benefits to shopping at small businesses this Small Business Saturday and throughout the year. Such firms help to establish a more resilient, diverse and bustling local community.

New York Blood Center Gives Thanks To Blood Donors
New York Blood Center (NYBC) is calling on New Yorkers to help support the region’s blood supply by donating blood this Thanksgiving. All who come to donate between Sunday, November 24th and Sunday, December 1st will receive a festive long-sleeve t-shirt as a gesture of appreciation this holiday season. This
promotion is available at all of NYBC’s donor centers and community blood drive locations.
The holiday season is historically challenging for the blood supply, as school breaks, family vacations and holiday travel all contribute to making blood donation less of a priority. Hospitals and patients rely on a steady
flow of volunteer donors, but recent years have been marked by chronic blood shortages nationwide. Last year, NYBC saw a nearly 20% drop in donations during the week of Thanksgiving alone and is calling on donors to help prevent a similar shortfall this year.
“The holiday season is a time for coming together
and celebrating traditions with family and friends, but it also brings a critical need for blood donations across our region,” said Andrea Cefarelli, Senior Vice President at New York Blood Center. “We encourage all New Yorkers to make blood donation part of their Thanksgiving tradition, embracing the spirit of
giving and spreading hope to those in need. NYBC is thankful for every donor for their lifesaving gift, not just this holiday season but all year round.”
Blood donors can give every 56 days, and platelet donors can give twice per month. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently lifted several blood
donor eligibility restrictions. To view current eligibility guidelines, visit nybc.org or call 800.688.0900.
To make an appointment, donors can call 1-800-9332566 or visit nybc.org. Can’t donate blood? You can still support NYBC’s mission by texting ‘NYBC’ to ‘20222’ to give $25.

Historical Events From November 1924
The month of November has been home to many historical events over the years. Here’s a look at some that helped to shape the world in November 1924.
• The Meteorological Flight Service is introduced by the British Royal Air Force on November 1. The service is implemented to identify temperature, pressure, humidity, and general weather conditions.
• Éamon de Valera, future President and Taoiseach of Ireland, is sentenced to a month in prison on November 1 for illegally entering Ulster, Northern Ireland.
• A freight train hits a street car after midnight in Chicago on November 2. Witnesses reported the freight train had no lights on as it reached the railroad crossing at the intersection of North Avenue and Kingsbury Street. Ten passengers on the street car are killed and 31 others are injured.
• On November 3, presidential hopefuls Calvin Coolidge, who is seeking to be elected after succeeding to the presidency upon the sudden death of President Warren G. Harding in 1923, and John W. Davis make their final appeals to voters via radio addresses. Coolidge is elected the following day.
• A mutiny occurs on the Brazilian battleship Sao Paulo on November 4. Eight Brazilian Navy officers and 260 sailors are involved in the failed rebellion.
• Despite having no experience in finance, Winston Churchill is appointed British
Chancellor of the Exchequer on November 6.
• Korean nationalist Syngman Rhee announces plans to gain independence for Korea from the Japanese Empire on November 8. Rhee makes the announcement in Honolulu, Hawaii.
• In a political misstep, 185 opposition members fail to show up for a new session of the Italian Parliament on November 12. The move is a protest against the Fascist Party, which uses the members’ absence to enact Prime Minister Benito Mussolini’s restrictive program.
• On November 14, noted explorers Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth announce plans for a joint polar flight expedition in 1925.
• Nine members of the infamous, St. Louis-based bank robbing gang Egan’s Rats are each sentenced to 25 years in federal prison on November 15. The conviction puts an end to the gang, which had employed hundreds of people over the course of more than three decades.
• Major-General Sir Lee Stack, British GovernorGeneral of the AngloEgyptian Sudan, is shot in Cairo by Egyptian nationalist students on November 19. Stack dies the following day, and the British government later blames his death on its Egyptian counterpart for its failure to suppress anti-British agitation.
• Two days after attending a celebrity-filled gathering aboard William Randolph Hearst’s private yacht, Hollywood producer
Thomas H. Ince dies at home on November 19. Rumors of a coverup regarding the cause of Ince’s death persisted into the twenty-first century.
• The Gandy Bridge across Tampa Bay opens to drivers on November 20. The 2.5-mile bridge was the longest bridge in the world at the time of its opening.
• United States Navy aviator Dixie Kiefer takes off from the deck of the U.S.S. California on November 21. Kiefer becomes the first pilot to take off from a warship at night.
• On November 23, Edwin Hubble announces that Andromeda, previously believed to be a nebula, is actually another galaxy.
• Australian anatomist and anthropologist Raymond Dart discovers the fossilized remains of the “Taung child” on November 24. The remains were sent to Dart in a box by a shotfirer who saved them from a limestone quarry in South Africa. Carbon dating indicates the remains are around 2.8 million years old.
• The first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is held in New York City on November 27.
• The Montreal Forum opens in Canada on November 29 when the Montreal Canadiens defeat the Toronto St. Pats 7-1.

Volunteer Group Raises $250,000 - Sponsors 41 Service Dogs To Assist Vets
A local group of 30 dedicated volunteers just surpassed the $250,000 donated milestone, sponsoring 41 highly trained service dogs thus far to assist our Veterans and first responders in need.
“Friends of America’s Vet Dogs” was established in 2015 with the sole mission of helping our Veterans
have a better life by getting them a service dog free of charge. The all-volunteer non-profit community service group does this through America’s Vet Dogs, a 501c3 located in Smithtown.
Each dog sponsored by the group, which was founded by Sayville residents Cliff Miller and
Patricia Summers, is carefully named to honor an unsung hero of our military, someone who brought great credit to our military, or to recognize someone / someplace that significantly helped a Veteran in need. One of the group’s sponsored dogs, Sully, served President George H. W. Bush until his
death, and now continues to serve Veterans every day at Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
“Friends of America’s Vet Dogs” was honored by the staff and CEO of America’s Vet Dogs John Miller at their Smithtown facility this week for reaching the $250,000 milestone. There
are 30 active members of the group, which raises awareness and funding for the crucial service with an annual Chinese Auction event, hosting information tables at community events, holding other fundraiser events and by speaking at local libraries, labor uMembers of the group are hopeful they will be able to
sponsor their 42nd service dog by year’s end. They can be reached by writing to: Friends of America’s Vet Dogs, Attention Cliff Miller, PO Box 18, Bohemia, NY 11716-0018 or by email at vetdogs@ aol.com Donations are tax deductible and checks should be made payable to America’s Vet Dogs.

Black Friday Sales
Black Friday sales have become a staple of the holiday shopping season. On Black Friday, many items are deeply discounted, and shoppers often target high-profile, expensive electronics. In fact, according to the retail advisor and trend forecaster NerdWallet, technology products are among the most sought-after products among Black Friday shoppers. Each year, televisions, tablets, laptops, notebooks, smartphones, and gaming consoles fly off the shelves in record numbers on Black Friday. According to the shopping resource Deal News, shoppers poised to purchase one of the latest smartphone offerings this shopping season may find that Android products are more available and more heavily discounted than Apple products. Shoppers also may have their eyes on gadgets for their homes. Black Friday isn’t all about technology, however. Kitchen cookware and small appliances also attract shoppers on Black Friday. Typically high-priced items like stand mixers, brewing systems, vacuums, and blenders are popular among Black Friday shoppers.

Junior Mayors Attend Village Board Meeting
There were two Junior Mayors in attendance at the November 19th Village Board meeting – Scarlett Keller and Dylan Bisciello. The 2024 Junior Mayors were selected based on the projects they submitted as part of the “Loving Lindenhurst” contest done in partnership with
the Lindenhurst School District. Scarlett wrote and performed two songs about why she loves Lindenhurst and Dylan created a collage of the places and events he loves in Lindenhurst, which is proudly displayed outside of the Mayor’s office at Village Hall!
Scarlett opened the meeting by leading the Pledge of Allegiance and Dylan assisted the Mayor in making a motion to adjourn the meeting.
