Babylon Town Councilman Anthony Manetta is excited to announce the success of his 8th Annual Pasta & Sauce Drive. In partnership with the Constantino Brumidi Lodge of the Sons and Daughters of Italy in Deer Park, it was a recordbreaking year for the drive with 1,220 pounds of pasta and 617 jars of sauce collected.
“I’m thrilled to see our community come together once again to help those in need,” Manetta said. “This year’s Pasta & Sauce Drive was our most successful yet, and it’s a testament to the generosity and kindness of our neighbors here in Babylon. With the help of the Constantino Brumidi Lodge and everyone who contributed, we’ve been able to make a meaningful
impact by collecting over 1,200 pounds of pasta and 600 jars of sauce. Together, we’re helping ensure that no family in our community goes hungry.” This means thousands of meals for local residents in need. For everyone who donated, you have directly helped stock the shelves of food pantries across the Town of Babylon in a big way!

EXOTIC WAREHOUSE
During a recent exhibitorganizing work session at the nearly renovated Old Village Hall Museum, Lindenhurst Museum Director Marianne Guglieri and Lindenhurst Village Historian Anna Jaeger paused to demonstrate how newly acquired collection management supplies will expand and improve the Lindenhurst Historical Society’s conservation and preservation supplies and practices. This is the second consecutive year the Lindenhurst Historical Society successfully garnered a NYSCA/ Greater Hudson Heritage Network Preservation Supplies Grant. This year’s funding allowed the Society to purchase
seven (7) Garment/Textile Preservation Kits.
“As we endured the hiatus in our ability to manage and utilize the exhibit space afforded to us by the Village due to the relocation, renovations and repairs of both the Old Village Hall Museum and the Lindenhurst c.1915 Historical House Museum, we seized on the opportunity to assess our conservation and preservation practices to better enhance our efforts to protect our extensive collection of artifacts and historic objects,” said Museum Director Guglieri. “The generous grant funding we received from the Greater Hudson Heritage Network has allowed us to purchase necessary and appropriate
preservation kits enabling us to safely and reliably store the textiles and clothing that comprise a significant part of the entire historical collection,” continued Ms. Guglieri. “This year’s funding was allocated towards archival boxes designed to protect our extensive wedding dress and formal wear collection.”
Museum docents and Lindenhurst Historical Society volunteers continue to partner with the Inc. Village of Lindenhurst to complete renovations, repairs and improvements at both the Old Village Hall Museum(located at Irmisch Park) and the circa 1915 Lindenhurst continued on 22

Announcing the grant within the Center’s ongoing construction space are (left-to-right) Babylon Town Clerk Gerry Compitello, Bert Brodsky, AFA Founder and Board Chair, Babylon Town Supervisor Richard Schaffer, Babylon Town Councilman Terence McSweeney, and AFA President and CEO Charles Fuschillo. When completed in the opening days of 2025, the facility will provide essential services for the estimated 60,000 Long Island families currently facing Alzheimer’s as well as offer valuable training for the region’s professionals who assist them.
Bethpage Turkey Drive – The Largest Food Drive On Long Island To Take Place On Friday, November 22
Long Island Businesses And Families Encouraged To Donate Frozen Turkeys And Non-Perishable Food Items As Food Insecurity Increases By More Than 58% On Long Island
The Bethpage Turkey Drive to benefit the Island Harvest Food Bank will take place on Friday, November 22, 2024, from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM at Bethpage’s headquarters located at 899 South Oyster Bay Road in Bethpage. This year marks the 16th anniversary of Long Island’s largest oneday food drive which to date, has donated more than 49,000 turkeys and over 236,000 pounds of food to Island Harvest which helps supply Thanksgiving holiday meals to families in our community.
Long Islanders are asked to donate frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items or cash donations. Bethpage’s Drive Through Donation Lanes will allow residents to remain in their cars while volunteers remove
donations from the vehicles. The donations will go directly to Island Harvest Food Bank, which will help supply Thanksgiving meals to the more than 300,000 food-insecure Long Islanders through its distribution network of over 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, and other feeding programs on Long Island. Non-perishable food items needed include canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice, boxed juices, and shelfstable milk (please, no glass containers).
“Last year’s drive collected a record-breaking 4,425 turkeys, a number that has not be reached since the Bethpage Turkey Drive started in 2008,” said Linda Armyn, President and CEO, Bethpage Federal Credit Union. “We are so thankful for our network of
community support, both businesses and individuals, who continue to donate each year to help families enjoy a warm Thanksgiving meal. Bethpage is committed to doing everything we can to improve the lives of our friends and neighbors on Long Island. This event is special for us each year and more important than ever as the number of food insecure continues to grow.”
According to Feeding America’s 2022 Map the Meal Gap report for Long Island, there are approximately 221,190 people on Long Island who are food insecure, an increase of 58.3% from the 2021 estimate of 139,760 people. In 2022, the estimated number of children living with food insecurity is 44,780, a 63.4% increase from the estimated
27,580 children living with food insecurity in 2021. For its fiscal year, Island Harvest Food Bank expects to distribute a record 20 million pounds of food to people who are food insecure in Nassau and Suffolk counties, far eclipsing the volume of food it provided during the pandemic.
“Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s enduring partnership has helped make a positive difference in the lives of Long Islanders facing food insecurity,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, President & CEO of Island Harvest Food Bank. “Their support and generosity, along with that of their members and Long Island’s business community, have enabled us to provide holiday-style meals – and hope for our neighbors in need for 16 years.”
Bethpage is once again issuing a Corporate Challenge encouraging local businesses and organizations to donate the largest number of frozen turkeys and non-perishables and then drop off their donations on November 22. To join the challenge, Long Island businesses and organizations can sign up
at https://www.bethpagefcu. com/bethpage-turkey-drivecorporate-challenge/.In its inaugural year in 2023, H2M Architects & Engineers won the challenge by donating 702 turkeys. Bethpage awarded them with an ice cream truck sent to their office for all employees to enjoy.
For those unable to make a donation on November 22, or would rather show their support online, Bethpage is accepting online monetary donations. Every gift of $35 will help support a holiday meal for your Long Island neighbors. Donations can also be made at any Bethpage branch.
Patches will be given to all Girl Scouts who make a donation. Troop leaders can make a donation on behalf of troop members and bring back patches for the entire troop.
Since the first Bethpage Turkey Drive was organized in 2008, hundreds of community volunteers have come out to assist in the collection of more than 49,000 turkeys and over 236,000 pounds of food, which were then given to Long Island families facing hardship in time for
the holidays. About 6,000 individuals receive food assistance from the Island Harvest Food Bank network each week.
Island Harvest Food Bank Island Harvest Food Bank is a leading human services organization whose mission is to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island. We accomplish this through innovative programs and services aimed at enhanced hunger awareness, shortterm case management, nutrition education, outreach and advocacy initiatives, a Workforce Skills Development Institute, our organic farm, and efficient food collection and distribution. Our work directly supports children, families, seniors, and veterans who turn to us in times of crisis and when needed and supports a network of 300 community-based nonprofit organizations. Island Harvest Food Bank is a member of Feeding America®, a nationwide network of food banks leading the effort to solve hunger in the U.S. To learn more, visit www. islandharvest.org.
Volunteers gather at last year’s Bethpage Turkey Drive that collected 4,425 turkeys and non-perishable food to help provide a Thanksgiving meal to those in need.

Autism And Children
According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of
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.

NFPA Urges Extra Caution When Preparing Your Feast This Thanksgiving
The National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) urges added caution when cooking on Thanksgiving Day, by far the leading day of the year for home cooking fires. In 2022, an estimated 1,610 home cooking fires were reported to U.S fire departments
on Thanksgiving Day, reflecting a 399 percent increase over the daily average. Between 2018 and 2022, there was an annual average of three and half times more cooking fires on Thanksgiving Day than on a typical day of the year.
“Thanksgiving is a hectic holiday with multiple dishes cooking and baking at the same time, along with guests, entertaining, and other distractions that can make it easy to lose sight of what’s on the stove or in the oven,” said Lorraine Carli, vice
president of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA. “With all these factors at play, it’s no surprise that the number of cooking fires spikes so dramatically on Thanksgiving.”
Overall, cooking is the leading cause of U.S. home fires and injuries, and the second-leading
cause of home fire deaths.
Unattended cooking is the leading contributing factor in cooking fires and fire deaths.
“Keeping a close eye on what’s cooking and minimizing the likelihood of getting distracted can greatly reduce the risk of cooking fires,” said
Carli. “As simple as these preventative measures may sound, they truly can help ensure that everyone enjoys a festive, fire-free holiday.”

NFPA
Continued From 20
from NFPA to help everyone cook safely on Thanksgiving: Never leave the kitchen while cooking on the stovetop. Some types of cooking, especially those that involve frying or sautéing with oil, need continuous attention.
Urges Extra Caution When Preparing Your Feast This Thanksgiving
When cooking a turkey, remain at home and check it regularly. Make use of timers to keep track of cooking times, particularly for foods that require longer cook times.
Keep things that can catch fire like oven mitts, wooden utensils, food wrappers, and towels
at least three feet away from the cooking area. Avoid long sleeves and hanging fabrics that can come in contact with a heat source. Always cook with a lid beside your pan. If a small grease fire starts, smother the flames by sliding the lid over the pan, then turn off the
burner. Do not remove the cover because the fire could start again. Let the pan cool for a long time. For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. Only open the door once you’re confident the fire is completely out, standing to the side as you do. If you have any doubts or concerns, contact the fire department for assistance. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried. Hot foods and liquids should be placed away from table and counter edges.
In addition, NFPA strongly discourages the use of turkey fryers that use cooking oil, which can cause devastating burns. For a safe alternative, NFPA recommends purchasing a fried turkey from a grocery store or restaurant or buying a fryer that does not use oil.

Natural Ways To Fight Fall Allergies
As the days become shorter and the weather cools down, a new crop of allergy symptoms can arise, turning the autumn season into one marked by sneezing, scratchy throats and itchy eyes. Medications can alleviate such symptoms, but allergy sufferers may want to investigate some natural ways to beat allergies. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, ragweed is one of the more common triggers of autumnal allergies. Ragweed contributes to “hay fever,” which is a term to describe allergic rhinitis that occurs as a symptom of ragweed pollen in the air. Ragweed releases pollen in mid-August, and it can continue to be problematic until a deep freeze arrives. Other sources of fall allergies include leaf mold and pollen that is present on fallen leaves. This gets circulated when people begin to rake or blow fallen leaves. Classroom pets and chalk dust in schools (although chalkboards are largely a thing of the past) are other autumn allergens.
The good news is that many natural remedies work just as effectively as over-the-counter medications in regard to combatting ragweed and pollen problems. Here’s how to beat the fall allergy blues.
• Stay Away From Pollen. Stay away from pollen and prevent it from being tracked indoors. Remove shoes when walking through the door. Take off clothes worn outside and launder them promptly, showering to wash pollen off of the body. Use an air conditioner or keep windows closed when the pollen count is high.
• Increase Omega-3 Fatty Acids. It is well documented that fatty acids are good for brain health and cardiovascular well-being, but these acids also may help with allergies. A German study linked foods high in omega-3 fatty acids with the ability to fight inflammation, which is a hallmark of allergy suffering. Foods that are high in fatty acids include walnuts, flax, eggs, and cold-water fatty fish.
• Rinse Off Pollen. Use a mild cleanser to rinse the eyelids and eyelashes of pollen, as this is where it tends to congregate after being outdoors. Use saline spray to clear nasal passages of excess pollen as well.
• Take Natural Supplements. A study published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy found participants who used tablets of the herb butterbar showed significant allergy relief after only one week. Select herbs from reputable manufacturers who certify them.
• Use Eucalyptus Oil. This oil is great to have in the house to help clear up sinuses and provide nasal congestion relief. Mix a small amount with coconut oil and rub onto the chest. There also is some evidence that adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to cleansing products can help kill dust mites around the house.
• Wear A Mask. When doing housework or yard work, wear a mask to reduce the inhalation of specific allergens.

Thanks to the incredible generosity from dozens of donors, this year’s Food Drive for St. Vincent de Paul was a great success! Together, we collected hundreds of pounds of food, which will help provide meals for local families in need. This success is all due to the kindness of our community. Your contributions mean so much, and I’m proud to see us come together for our fellow Lindenhurst residents.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
