Helping You Help Others

SWIMMERS RAISE THOUSANDS TO CURE HEART DISEASE - The Massapequa High School ladies swim and dive team held its annual Swim for a Cure event in April. The team chose to donate its proceeds, more than $4,400 to the American Heart Association to honor Kiani Morisi, a senior swimmer who had open heart surgery as an infant. The ladies also learned that head coach Kelly Malone’s uncle was one of the first open heart surgery patients for children, suffering from the same condition that Kiani was born with.

Bethel Hobbs Community Farm

MASSAPEQUA PARK - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JUNE 2, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

www.hobbsfarm.info

Bethel Hobbs Community Farm is a nonprofit organization with a rich history. You may know and love their farm, or you may never believe there is an 11-acre farm in Centereach that has been feeding Long Islanders for decades!

The James Hobbs family came to Long Island from Georgia in 1906 and grew farm produce in New Village (North Centereach) for local Long Islanders for 3 generations, first as farm workers and later purchasing the land, which became known as Hobbs Farm. James’ son, Alfred Hobbs took ownership in 1955 and farmed his own property, as well as rental farmland in the surrounding area for many years. He passed up many opportunities to sell the property, hoping that it would always remain a farm.

Thankfully, it does remain a farm to this day.

Hobbs Farm is the last farm in Centereach, as well as the last AfricanAmerican family farm on Long Island. When Mr. Hobbs passed away in 1996, he left the farm property to the Bethel AME Church in Setauket, where he was a member. The farm was renamed Bethel Hobbs Community Farm. However, the church struggled with local community organizations that were threatening to buyout the land for other means. In 2007, “Friends of Hobbs Farm” was formed, which led to the restoration process of the farm.

Today, the church still owns the farm, a non-profit organization that is entirely operated by volunteers. The farm is 11 acres and it grows and harvests an average of over 30,000 pounds of fresh, organic produce, which then gets donated to several local food pantries and soup kitchens on the island. They also offer CSA Memberships, which allows locals to receive a weekly share of nutritionally dense produce grown on their farm right in Centereach. The produced is packed the same day as they go out for delivery, and recipiants can rest knowing exactly where they were grown.

Additionally, the farm offers educational programs, community events and they have a seasonal farm stand.

With a strong faith-based history and being that it is still owned by a local church, you will notice a strong Christian presence as soon as you walk onto their land.

Faith based signs, a large wooden cross and a welcoming peaceful environment truly

makes this farm special.

Bethel Hobbs Community Farm has 6 distinct areas: The Memorial Garden: The Memorial Garden is at the front tip of their property. It is a quiet, shaded area with flowers, beautiful greenery and a peaceful waterfall to remember people who have passed on.

The Education Garden: The Education Garden area grows many heirloom varieties, has a small compost area and hosts educational events for small groups.

The Greenhouse: The Greenhouse allows this farm to extend their season during the colder months.

The Community Garden: The Community Garden hosts Brookhaven Community garden plots.

The Garden of Ephraim: The Garden of Ephraim is a wheelchair accessible garden, which consists of a beautiful paved area with raised beds! There is also street access directly into The Garden of Ephraim.

Food Pantry Donation Area: This area of the farm consists of several acres of farm land and is the main growing area.

The selfless efforts of all the volunteers that work hard to keep this farm afloat is truly a blessing. They don’t get paid a dime, but they love what they do. To me, this farm shines bright as a symbol of hope and resilience. However, it needs some more help itself. If you are looking for ways to volunteer or donate, visit their website for more information or read next week’s article on ways for how to get involved!

June Debut For Massapequa High School’s Virtual Musical The show will go on for drama students at Massapequa High School, who will present “Little Shop of Horrors” for their annual musical production. The show includes two casts and will be presented in a virtual format.

Each cast includes 14 student-actors, who will perform on the Berner Middle School stage, which is slightly larger than the high school’s stage and allows for greater social distancing.

Director Katie Tauches said that the play was double cast to give additional students a chance to take part in this year’s show.

Lead roles in Cast A include Joey Casali as Seymour, Annabelle

Lesser as Audrey, Daniel Siani as the dentist, Joe Corey as Mushnik and Vincent Arenella as the plant. In Cast B, lead roles are Robbie Morana as Seymour, Julia Duffy as Audrey, Ryan Wienczorkowski as the dentist, Jesse Findling as Mushnik and Makayla Menner as the plant. They began virtual rehearsals in March and have been learning lines, songs and choreography in-person since April.

The show, which debuted in 1982 Off-OffBroadway and in 2003 on Broadway, is a horror rock comedy. “Little Shop of Horrors” focuses on Seymour, a florist, his man-eating plant and his love interest, Audrey.

In addition to Ms.

Tauches, Danielle Coutieri serves as choreographer and Craig Coyle is the musical director.

Both shows will be prerecorded and broadcast to the community in June.

Cast A’s performance will be available online on Thursday, June 10 at 7 p.m., followed by Cast B’s production on Friday, June 11 at 7 p.m. Tickets will be free and posted on the district website, www. msd.k12.ny.us, close to the show dates.

“I’m really happy that the district allowed us to put on a show this year,” Ms. Tauches said. “Despite all of the challenges, the students have really risen to the occasion to create an amazing performance.”

distancing rules to keep their families, and guests, safe.”

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), from 2014-2018, an average of 19,700 patients per year went to emergency rooms because of injuries involving grills. Gas grills were involved in an average of 10,600 home fires per year, including 3,900 structure fires and 4,900 outdoor fires annually. Keep everyone safe by following the important tips below: Tips from the NFPA and FASNY: Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors; The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches;

Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area; Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill; Never leave your grill unattended while in use; Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it; Always use foodapproved fire starters for wood grills and smokers.

Must Be Familiar With Roughs, Troubleshooting & Service Upgrades

As vaccinated New Yorkers begin to gather for nicer weather, many will be dusting off and firing up their outdoor grills.

With COVID precautions motivating more people to cook and grill at home, The FASNY urges all New Yorkers to follow some basic rules to avoid accidents and injuries, and to remember not to hesitate to call for help needed.

“The warmer weather will certainly encourage New Yorkers to break out their BBQ’s for outdoor cooking,” said FASNY President John Farrell.

“We want all residents to stay safe as we celebrate the coming summer days and consider basic grill safety tips. We also remind everyone to continue to follow applicable social

Town Upgrades Local Ballfields Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino recently visited with members of the Massapequa Coast and Massapequa International Little Leagues, including Coast President Craig Garland and MILL President Chris Brooks, to unveil improvements at John Burns Park, made to help ensure safety and added use for players this spring season. Two fields at the park received significant improvements, including artificial turf replacement and patching.

“These important safety upgrades help protect our

little leaguers and others who use these fields, and the manner in which the enhancements were done also protect our taxpayers,” said Supervisor Saladino.

“With significant use, the fields became worn out over time. These improvements bring a facelift to the fields, thereby improving safety for players and achieving the repairs in the most cost-effective way.”

Artificial turf fields have a useful life of approximately 8-10 years, however, they are less expensive than the longterm cost of maintaining natural grass and a dirt

surface. Turf fields also provide the potential for fewer cancellations as the field us able to absorb rain storms in a manner that is not possible on a dirt infield. Turf replacement must be considered when loose inlays pose tripping hazards, fibers split and shred, and when inlays are worn out.

When fields experience these issues, less cushion between the athlete and stone base underneath the turf. As players fall on the field, they are at a higher risk of injury and even concussion.

Free Summer Drive-In Movie Series Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board announce the return of drive-in movies this summer at various Town facilities in July and August. The ‘Movies by Moonlight’ series is once again limited to residents only on a first-come, firstserved basis.

“Residents and families looking for a fun night need look no further than their backyards this summer at the Town is ready with a summer to remember,” said Supervisor Saladino.

“We’re thrilled to once again enjoy family-friendly films from the comfort of your own vehicles at our local parks and beaches.

Join us as these pop-up movie nights and sit back, relax and enjoy the show.”

Movies will play on the following Wednesday evenings beginning at dusk: July 7th – Ellsworth Allen Park in Farmingdale, Raiders of the Lost Ark July 14th – Tappen Beach in Glenwood Landing, Dolittle July 21st – Ellsworth

Allen Park, Tom & Jerry July 28th – Theodore Roosevelt Beach in Oyster Bay, The Goonies August 4th – Ellsworth Allen Park, Raya & The Last Dragon Vehicles will be admitted to the parking lot on a firstcome, first-served basis beginning at 6pm the day of the event. Movies begin at dusk. Movies are subject to change and will be held weather permitting. For more information, please call (516) 797-7925.

New Study Shows Transcendental Meditation Effective For Reducing Veterans’ Stress

TOWN UPGRADES LOCAL BALLFIELDS - Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino recently visited with members of the Massapequa Coast and Massapequa International Little Leagues, including Coast President Craig Garland and MILL President Chris Brooks, to unveil improvements at John Burns Park, made to help ensure safety and added use for players this spring season.

Free Virtual Health & Wellness Series

Assemblyman Michael Durso, in coordination with Northwell Health and the Katz Institute for Women’s Health, will be sponsoring a free Virtual Better Health & Wellness Series every Tuesday in June starting June 8th at 1:00 p.m.

Registration is required.

For more information or to register, please call Assemblyman

Durso’s office at 516-5414598. Participants must provide a valid email address where the course Zoom link can be emailed.

“It is safe to say that this past year has been extremely challenging. As we continue to deal with the impact of Covid-19, many are experiencing additional health-related issues that were exacerbated by or

brought on by its effects,” said Assemblyman Durso.

“That’s why I am pleased to be partnering with Northwell Health and the Katz Institute for Women’s Health in offering a free virtual health and wellness series to address many of these important health topics.”

Veterans with posttraumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) who practiced the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique showed significant reductions in symptom severity, according to a new study published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress http://doi.org/10.1002/ jts.22665.

The study’s principal investigator was Mayer Bellehsen, PhD, director of the Unified Behavioral Health Center for Military Veterans and their Families in Bay Shore, Long Island and member. “ Tr a n s c e n d e n t a l Meditation is a non-traumafocused, easy-to-learn technique that was found in this study to improve PTSD symptoms, likely through the experience of physical rest,” said Dr. Bellehsen. “In contrast to commonly administered therapies for PTSD that are trauma-focused and based on a patient’s recall of past traumatic experiences, this intervention does not require extensive review of traumatic history, which some individuals find difficult to engage in. This

intervention may therefore be more tolerable for some individuals struggling with PTSD.” The randomized controlled trial assigned 40 veterans with documented PTSD to either the TM group or a “treatment as usual” control group. The TM treatment provided 16 sessions over 12 weeks, with twice-a-day daily home practice. PTSD symptom severity was assessed with the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5, and patient self-report with the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5.

The results showed large effect sizes, indicating a strong TM treatment impact in reducing trauma symptoms for both PTSD measures.

Other facts associated with trauma, such as depression and anxiety symptoms and sleep problems, also showed a strong impact as a result of TM treatment.

“This trial corroborates the findings of a large clinical trial published in The Lancet Psychiatry,” said Sanford Nidich, Ed.D., Director of the Center for Social-Emotional

Health at Maharishi International University Research Institute, and study co-investigator.

“The current study further supports the effectiveness of Transcendental Meditation as a first-line treatment for PTSD in veterans. The availability of an additional evidence-based therapy will benefit veterans, both by offering them a greater range of options and by serving as an alternative treatment strategy for those who don’t want to engage in trauma-focused treatment or who aren’t responding to a previous PTSD intervention.”

The authors pointed out in their research paper that TM may positively affect trauma symptom severity through the reduction of hyperarousal symptoms.

Previous research has shown that the practice of TM decreases physiological responses to stressful stimuli. In addition, recent research indicates that TM may improve resilience and positive coping strategies, providing further benefit to both veterans and active military personnel.

TOWN HONORS FORMER BUSBOY - Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (center), Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh (third from right) and Oyster Bay Town Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey P. Pravato visited Sal’s Place in North Massapequa to honor Chris Perez (fourth from right) for raising charitable funds to support his former place of employment, Sal’s Place. Chris once worked as a busboy at Sal’s Place and has always appreciated that employment opportunity. Recognizing that Sal’s Place and other local businesses were facing severe hardships brought on by the COVID-19 economic crisis, Chris began raising money to help keep the doors open. Salvatore Carrillo and Joseph Oberjosh, owners of Sal’s Place, were also honored by Town officials for being good corporate citizens as they have sponsored many athletic teams and community events over the years.

Stop Roof Streaks (NAPSI)—If you ever see black or other colored streaks on your roof, your problem is more than looks-but it can be resolved.

What It Is Those streaks come from vegetation eating the mineral content of your shingles. The vegetation is literally eating your roof for lunch. Not taken care of, it will shorten the life of

your roof dramatically.

What To Do Fortunately, there are inexpensive, easy-to-apply cleaners that can remove this unwanted vegetation.

They come in concentrate and are diluted to the desired strength. The diluted solution is placed in a garden-type sprayer and applied to the roof, and in a half hour or less you rinse it off and the stains

are gone. These cleaners contain no chlorine bleach.

There’s no threat to your perimeter plantings. Two of the more popular such cleaners are Shingle Shield and Stainhandler.

Learn More You can get all the details on these cleaners at www.stainhandler.com, (800) 942-3004 and www. shingleshield.com, (888) 724-6426.

Town To Offer Swim Program Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Laura Maier recently announced that the Town of Oyster Bay will offer a swim program this summer at outdoor pools located in Syosset-Woodbury Community Park and Marjorie R. Post Community Park in Massapequa.

“Get ready to dive into Oyster Bay Town pools this summer and improve your stroke,” said Supervisor Saladino. “We are proud

to offer this swim program to children that reside in the Town of Oyster Bay. Swim programs like this really bring the community together and are an integral part in the training of our young swimmers for the future.”

Town of Oyster Bay residents aged 6 to 16 are eligible to register for the swim program. Workouts will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays,

from 9:30am to 10:30am beginning Wednesday, July 7th and ending on Friday, August 13th. If a session is cancelled, make-up day(s) will be attempted.

Registration must be postmarked by June 30th.

Councilwoman Maier stated, “Many of our young people lost the ability to jump into the pool and improve their swim skills during the pandemic due to restrictions in place at

the time. Now, with the proper safety protocols in place, we’re happy to offer this swim program and the chance for young people to exercise while improving their strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and more!”

Program fees (checks or money orders only) are $35 per swimmer for season pass holders, and a $10 discount is offered for each additional swimmer in the same family.

For residents without a season pass, the program fee is $50 per swimmer. A $15 discount is offered for each additional swimmer in families without a season pass. Proof of residency/age required when registering, with TOB residents given first preference.

For more information, please call the Oyster Bay Town Department of Parks at (516) 797-4131 or email tobparks@oysterbay-ny.gov.

Did You Know? ( N A P S ) — T h e U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says children under 13 should always ride buckled in the backseat. It also recommends keeping children rear-facing as long as possible. You can find more information on car seat safety at NHTSA. gov/TheRightSeat.

What Is Herd Immunity?

Infectious diseases can strike at any time. Some of them cause relatively minor interruptions to daily life and often can resolve of their own accord when the body’s immune system mounts a successful defense. Other diseases can cause serious, even life-threatening symptoms or spread rapidly, which makes it essential for medical professionals to help slow down or stop the transmission.

What Is Herd Immunity?

Herd immunity is a term that often arises in relation to infectious diseases. Herd immunity has taken on renewed significance as the world has been battling COVID-19, the novel coronavirus introduced in late 2019. Herd immunity, which is sometimes called “community immunity,” “population immunity” or “social immunity,” refers to the indirect protection from infectious diseases that occurs when a large percentage of the population has become immune to that disease. If enough people are resistant to the cause of a disease, whether it is a bacteria or virus, that disease has nowhere to

go and the spread stalls, within their communities. according to WebMD. When Is Herd How Does Herd Immunity Reached?

Immunity Occur?

When enough of a There are two ways that population is immune to a herd immunity can occur. pathogen it prevents further The first is when resistance spread and herd immunity develops naturally when is apparent. Diseases are the body is exposed to the different and herd immunity virus or bacteria. At this is reached based on the point, the immune system pathogen’s reproduction will produce antibodies to number, or R0. Essentially fight off the infection. After this boils down to how recovery, these antibodies contagious the pathogen are still circulating, and in question is. WebMD says should exposure to the the R0 tells the average same disease occur again, number of people that a the body can defend against single person with the virus another infection. can infect if those people Another way that herd aren’t already immune. The immunity occurs is through higher the R0, the greater vaccination. The Centers number of people will need for Disease Control and to be resistant to reach Prevention states that when herd immunity. Measles, the majority of people are which is very contagious at vaccinated, it creates the an R0 of 12 to 18, requires same disease lockdown 93 to 95 percent of the - fewer people get sick population to be immune and fewer germs are able for herd immunity to be to spread from person reached. The World Health to person. What’s more, Organization estimates even those who are not the R0 for COVID-19 to vaccinated, such as newborn be between 2 and 3. This babies or those who may not means between 40 and 70 be able to get vaccinated percent of the population due to chronic illnesses, will will need to be immune to get some level of protection halt the spread. because the disease will In the case of COVID-19, not be spreading as readily it’s still unclear whether

anyone can get reinfected, and whether antibodies produced for one strain can fend off another strain of this novel coronavirus.

This reinfection mystery is what makes herd immunity - both through a vaccine or through natural exposure - challenging for epidemiologists in relation to COVID-19.

Herd immunity is an important factor in disease prevention. Getting the facts about this phenomenon is important.

Take Heart With Tea An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a recent study found drinking tea might keep the cardiologist at bay. The USDA reported that men and women who drank black tea for three weeks reduced their total and bad cholesterol (LDL) levels by an average of 7.5 percent. Researchers concluded that drinking tea may reduce the

risk of coronary heart disease. Antioxidants called flavonoids, found in both green and black teas, are thought to be potent weapons in the fight against heart disease.

That news may be especially important for women, given that heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined including breast cancer.

While flowers certainly add beauty and a wonderful aroma to wedding ceremonies and receptions, there are other reasons behind their inclusion in such festivities. In ancient Rome, brides carried or wore flower garlands because the Romans believed flowers signified hope, fertility and new beginnings. In the Middle Ages, brides did not carry flowers, but rather strong-smelling spices and herbs. The rationale was that the herbs and spices would drive away bad luck and evil spirits.

Flowers also served another practical purpose. In eras when bathing was a luxury, different flowers and herbs helped mask body odors. It wasn't until the Victorian era, when flowers were used to symbolize romantic love, that they became part of wedding ceremonies, according to Modern Weddings magazine.

TESTIMONIALS

Michele Goodman and her husband Mark were 5 star throughout our whole journey. From the first initial meeting Michele was extremely thorough and made sure we understood the process and walked through all necessary documentation. They were always available at our earliest convenience and had our best interest in mind the whole time. We truly enjoyed working with them as a team and would certainly recommend for anyone in the future. Dynamic duo!!! ... Gary & Kierstin Messina
