An Elevated Risk

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some medical conditions can put people at an elevated risk for certain infections. Heart disease, diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2, chronic lung disease, including COPD, and kidney failure are among the conditions that can increase a person’s risk for certain infections. The CDC notes the importance of recognizing this potential connection, as such a recognition can help people understand

the role vaccines can play in promoting their overall health. It’s also vital that men and women realize the connection between their lifestyle choices and their risk for certain infections. For example, excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking are two controllable risk factors that can elevate a person’s risk for infection. Learn more about vaccinations and your risk for certain infections by visiting www. cdc.gov.

Helping You Help Others

By Noelle Lambert

The Charity of the Month for February is The Corporate Source

www.thecorporatesource.org

The Corporate Source (TCS) is a non-profit organization that started in 1996. They strive to change the perceptions of individuals with disabilities in the workforce by having them work in integrated settings where their value, productivity, commitment and dedication can be experienced by all. To accomplish this mission, TCS addresses the factors a ecting employment inequity and overcomes barriers to employment that keep this staggering number of people with disabilities excluded from the workforce. TCS is extremely proud of their work and today the operate in over 100 locations , many here on Long Island, NY.

Despite an increased knowledge base and laws, such as the Americans With Disabilities Act, the overwhelming number of people with disabilities are either unemployed or underemployed. In America alone, roughly 61 million adults live with a disability. Today, about 1 in 6 American children are diagnosed with a developmental disability and they then age out of most public programming when they become 21. With less to do each day and having fewer prospects for employment, these young adults often become socially isolated and depressed.

Sometimes, employers may have misconceptions which make them reluctant to hire a person with disabilities. TCS works to change perceptions to show employers the benefits of an inclusive workforce. Given the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and capabilities, these employees show dependability, honesty, tenacity and dedication to doing the best job possible. Several TCS workers have received awards and recognition for their achievements and outstanding performance on the job.

TCS employs nearly 400 people with disabilities in the greater New York tristate region, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, providing outsourcing services to several federal, state and

private sector organizations. A small sample of their longterm client collaborations include Janitorial and Disinfecting Services for the US Merchant Marine Academy, Mail-room Operations at Long Island and NYC Internal Revenue Service locations, Call Center Support at the Manhattan VA Medical Center and Kennel Care for the Department of Homeland Security at JFK Airport.

Most recently, they have partnered with the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) to develop a program for professionally educating and training people with disabilities for entry level positions in the growing IT field. Corporations like Microsoft, Ernst & Young and more have had very positive experiences where people with disabilities are e ective for these positions from a number of perspectives.

This non-profit works year-round through special events, networking opportunities, social media outreach and other e orts to raise awareness and funds to support disability employment initiatives. There are many ways that you can support the mission of TCS.

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 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, problemsolving, 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.

Left-handed, lefty, southpaw - these are all terms used to describe people who favor their left hands for writing, throwing a ball and myriad other activities. It is estimated that between 10 and 12 percent of all people are left-handed. Although that makes southpaws an undeniable minority, the number of left-handed people is creeping up.

Left-handers are worthy of notice and recognition. As such, explore these

Fun Facts About Lefties

interesting facts and figures about left-handers.

Sports Proclivity

Being left-handed may confer an advantage for athletes. Wayne Gretzky, Sandy Koufax and Martina Navratilova are just a few of the many accomplished left-handed sports legends.

Sports scientist Florian Loffing with the Institute of Sport Science, University of Oldenburg in Germany found that in sports where there is a short time constraint, lefties appeared

to excel. That could be why he found 26 percent of the top male players in table tennis are lefties. And sports like baseball and cricket are dominated by left-handed players.

Health Risks And Benefits

Lefties should take notice that there may be some side effects to being left-handed. According to a 2010 study published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers found those who were left-handed had an increased risk for

Village Awarded $4.5 Million In NY-Forward Funding

On Tuesday, January 24th, the Village of Lindenhurst was awarded $4.5 million as part of the first round of funding in New York State’s NYForward program.

As per the State’s website, the NY-Forward program “provides funding to communities in an effort to invigorate and enliven downtowns in New York’s smaller and rural

communities - the type of downtowns found in villages, hamlets and other small, neighborhood-scale municipal centers.”

Mayor Lavorata spoke at the press conference announcing the Village’s historic award and would like to once again thank Governor Hochul and the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council for

this opportunity, along with Trustee RJ Renna and Assistant to the Mayor Katie McCaffrey for their work on the application and presentation.

The Village looks forward to using this funding to continue the revitalization of our downtown and making our community an exciting place to live, work, and play!

dyslexia, ADHD and certain mood disorders. It could be tied to the hemispheres of the brain and how 30 percent of left-handed people are partial to the right hemisphere or have no dominant hemisphere for language functioning. Conversely, lefties can bounce back from stroke or other brain-related injuries more readily than righties, according to data published in 2015 in Scientific Reports. Also, a study published in Laterality found that left-handed people are less likely to suffer arthritis and ulcers.

More Creative Lefties are more likely to be artistic or innovative. Research published in the American Journal of Psychology found there is some evidence that lefthanded people are better at divergent thinking, a method of idea generation that explores many possible solutions. The Left-Handers Club, a prolefty advocacy group, also found that left-handed individuals tend to be

drawn to careers in the arts, music, sports, and information-technology fields.

Ambidextrous Inclinations

The world is geared towards being righthanded, with buttons on jackets, doorknobs, desks in school, and more designed with right-handed people in mind. Therefore, many lefties become ambidextrous simply because they have to, according to data published

in Reader’s Digest. Presidential Possibilities?

Many notable people have been left-handed, including eight U.S. Presidents. James A. Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry S. Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama all are or were lefthanded.

Even though the world may not have been designed for left-handed people, lefties certainly thrive.

Town Of Babylon Thanked For Direct Support Program

Local Businesses And Organizations Appreciative Of Community-Saving ARPA Funds

Local small businesses and organizations recently came together at Babylon Town Hall to thank the Town of Babylon for its Direct Support Program, which distributed vital American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. The 267 grants from the program helped businesses stay afloat as they recovered economically from the pandemic and has allowed them to pursue postpandemic growth and prosperity. Over $8.3 million was issued to 192 small businesses, 68 nonprofit organizations and seven veterans groups, and 98 of the recipients are minority- and womenowned businesses.

“Our small businesses place a great deal on the line to drive our local economy,” said Chairman of the Town of Babylon Small Business Committee Councilman Anthony Manetta. “Therefore, it was the Town of Babylon’s goal for our businesses and nonprofits not just to survive but to thrive postpandemic as well.”

Several business owners testified to the significant impact the program had in maintaining their businesses and, in turn, supporting economic progress and hope for the community. “Many of us had to close our doors for months at a time, which had a significant impact on our businesses and personal finances,” said CBC Wireless owner and grant recipient Reggie Mays. “I do not think we would have survived without the program’s funds.” His Wyandanch business that has been opened since 1995 utilized the money it received to address pandemic-based revenue loss.

“I feel that this year will be a better year for all of us,” said Dalisa Pizza owner and grant recipient Frances Dalisa in her appreciation for the funds. The North Babylon

restaurant, previously in Deer Park, has been a local staple for 50 years and used the grant money it was awarded to pay bills and handle rising costs.

Veterans organizations were also deeply grateful for the funds they received, with John Simpkins of Martin Kessler Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Post 2912 commending the Town on behalf of the contingency.

Chair of the Town of Babylon Veterans Advisory Council and former veteran Councilman DuWayne Gregory expressed the importance of including veterans groups in the Direct Support Program, for they provide countless services and programs to the community and help a population that has selflessly sacrificed a great deal for this country.

The Town of Babylon also utilized ARPA funds to make significant investments in public safety through grants to various municipalities and fire departments to purchase life-saving equipment. Using the allocated funds, the Wyandanch Fire

Department obtained a new ladder truck, the Lindenhurst and West Babylon Fire Departments received LUCAS devices— which assist with the performance of CPR— and the Copiague Fire Department will soon be acquiring three AEDs. In addition, Babylon Village will be using the funds to purchase an ambulance.

Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Shaffer expressed his sincere gratitude to those who assisted him in organizing the profoundly impactful program, as well as to all of the recipients for their dedication and contributions to the community. The supervisor, as well as many of the recipients, also delivered a special message of appreciation for Viscel Moore, whose leadership and years of experience made the program possible.

Do You Have A GPS Plan For 2023?

Last month I wrote about starting the year on a strong note. My advice included reviewing your goals from last year, organizing your business and home, and moving all your correspondence to the digital world.

Today, I want to share something I learned a few months ago; how to write a GPS plan to help you achieve your goals in 2023. To be successful in business, you must continue to learn and grow. The month-long workshop I took helped me create a roadmap for success and identified potential obstacles that I might run into along the way. Here are a few of the key takeaways:

1) Have a Strategic Goal for December 31st: Where do you want to be with your business at the end of the year? Write down specific, measurable goals (e.g., revenue, profit, number of items sold). This exercise helped me visualize what success will look like on 12/31/23.

2) Write Your GPS Plan:

It’s the same idea as using your phone when you need to drive somewhere that you haven’t been to before. When you get into the car, you don’t put your phone away, you put it on the dashboard and follow every direction. Write your strategic goal at the top of a page, then include everything you will need to do during the year to hit that goal. This includes sales, expenses, finding new customers, opening a new location, buying

equipment, using social media, etc. Once you have everything written down and broken out by month, you have a GPS plan for your business. The key is to follow it! Don’t put it in a filing cabinet.

3) Identify Obstacles. In my workshop, we played something called the “What If” game. We had to write down 10 things that kept us up at night. For example, what if…my building burned down? What if…my computers were hacked? What if…the housing market crashed? For every question, we had to write a response on how we would handle it. After I was done, I wrote “Emergency Response Plan” on the front of my paper. Now, if something bad happens, I won’t panic. I’ll know what to do.

It helps to have fewer surprises in business, and to know where I want to be at the end of the year. It means a lot less stress and a lot more focus on what I love to do.
