The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition To Host Its Annual Together In Teal® No Boundaries National Broadcast Celebration

The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC), will be hosting its 2020 Together in TEAL - No Boundaries, National Broadcast Celebration on Saturday, September 26, at 7 PM ET/ 6 PM CT and 4 PM PT. NOCC is launching a new nationwide campaign and event that will enable our community to unite from coast-to-coast with no limits. While our traditional Together in TEAL Run/Walk events cannot take place in the interest of safety and public health, our community needs to be united. The organization’s

signature event, hosted in communities across the United States each year, raises the critical funds necessary to support Earlier Awareness, Quality of Life for Survivors, Research, and Community Outreach. On September 26, we will unite people across the nation touched by ovarian cancer for our Together in TEAL - No Boundaries National Broadcast Celebration. This event will highlight the most inspiring and remarkable stories being told every day in our communities. Ovarian cancer has no boundaries, so

our movement to eradicate it shouldn’t have them either.

The global pandemic which limits us from gathering has empowered us. Now is a time for unity. And NOCC is ready to come together in the fight against ovarian cancer. Many do not know that ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers, that 1 in 78 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime, and that there are no screening tests available.

NOCC is a national women’s health organization focused on saving lives by fighting tirelessly to prevent and cure

ovarian cancer and improve the quality of life for Survivors. All work is done with one vision in mind to live in a world where no woman ever loses a life to this disease. When you support NOCC, you invest in saving lives. Join us on September 26 by visiting https://runwalk. ovarian.org/longisland About National Ovarian Cancer Coalition For more than 25 years, the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition has been committed to raising awareness, promoting education, and funding

research supporting women, families, and communities touched by ovarian cancer.

The NOCC is an important national advocate for patients and families struggling with ovarian cancer and remains steadfast in its mission “to save lives by fighting tirelessly to prevent and cure ovarian cancer, and to improve the quality of life for Survivors.

for success and change rarely occur overnight, and we all worked so hard to get here,” said East Meadow High School valedictorian Ikshu Pandey.

Principals Timothy Voels and Richard Howard of W.T. Clarke and East Meadow, respectively, commended the Class of 2020 for their resilience and persistent excellence in academics, the arts, athletics and their community. Both principals highlighted the impressive accomplishments of the senior class despite the hardships they had faced during the last few months.

Following each address, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kenneth A. Card Jr., along with Board of Education President Matthew Melnick and Vice President Alisa Baroukh, presented the graduates with their diplomas. Since the senior award ceremonies were held virtually this year, recipients received their awards from this event in addition to their diplomas.

The district congratulates the Class of 2020 on their accomplishments, wishes them luck for the future and commends each graduate for their perseverance SALUTATORIAN ARJUN PANICKSSERY - W.T.

Choosing The Best Flashlights A flashlight is an invaluable part of any disaster preparedness kit, and it's a handy tool to have on hand in a car, at home or when traveling.

You never know when you might need a flashlight, and it's helpful to have many on hand. When stocking up on flashlights for emergency kits, choose ones with light-emitting diode, or LED, technology.

According to Popular Mechanics, LED flashlights are 70 percent more efficient than incandescent models. That means the batteries powering the light have the potential to last 10 times longer.

Furthermore, LEDs do not have any fragile parts like incandescent bulbs. That makes them more likely to withstand shock or even endure being dropped.

TAKING A LOOK BACK! This August I have been “taking a look back” at articles I have published in the past, giving various charities another chance at exposure.

They function out of their main office in Freeport, but they also work with 40 different special needs sites that pickup book donations and bring them to their office. Every book that they collect goes through sorting, their process of thoroughly examining the type of book and condition it’s in. The Book Fairies heavily relies on the work of selfless The Book Fairies is an organization volunteers, who generously give of their time to help this charity!

One local school that to this classroom. By word of mouth and received many book donations through hard work, this drive took off and resulted this organization in turn saw their school wide reading level increase 400%! in a final donation of about 3,500 books!

Driven by her desire to make a difference in her community, Amy later created The Book Fairies, a 501C3 non-profit.

The Book Fairies accepts donations of new and gently used books, and connects them with libraries, schools, veteran organizations, soup kitchens and more organizations throughout all five boroughs and on Long Island that do not have the funds to foster the love of reading.

“Every one of our classrooms has a new Covid-19 enrollment limit.”

On August 24, Hofstra reopened for in-person classes, however, new safety measures such as social distancing and mask-wearing have been implemented.

Every student is required to wear a mask when attending a class in-person.

“We’ve taken safety into consideration in everything we do,” said Herman Berliner, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Hofstra. “Every one of our classrooms has been reconfigured.”

Hofstra classrooms were redesigned to comply with social distancing guidelines. Desks are set six feet apart from each other.

“A typical classroom which used to seat forty or

If a student decides to come to class without a mask on, a faculty member will ask the student to put one on. If the student doesn’t listen to the faculty member, the class will be dismissed for the day, the student will receive a “w” on their transcript and the student will have to go through the code of conduct.

“There will be a zerotolerance mask policy in class. We expect every student and all faculty members to wear a mask any time they’re in the building, period,” said Berliner.

“Masks will

Rooms across campus are also provided for commuting students who want to do their online classes on campus.

“The smaller classrooms, which will not be good for in-person classes due to social distancing, will be made available,” said Berliner. “If the student had an online class in between two inperson classes, they will be able to reserve a spot in one of those rooms.”

If a student doesn’t feel comfortable attending a class in person, classes are recorded and livestreamed so that they can continue their education from home.

“For more than 100 classrooms, we have put a lecture capture in place,” said Berliner. “We can record the faculty member and what is happening on the smartboard.”

Social distancing in the cafeteria and other eating places on campus are also implemented.

“I met a bunch of my closer friends in-person during orientation,” said Shelby Van Hyfte, a sophomore neuroscience major. “These incoming freshmen will mainly be meeting people through different methods. It’s going to take more effort for them to make friends.”

“I’m worried that the incoming freshmen will not be able to have the real Hofstra experience,” said an anonymous sophomore majoring in health science.

“I met my best friend at orientation. These students had to do theirs online, and it’s not the same.”

Hofstra said that they’re trying to put together events such as drivein movies and virtual activities so that the incoming freshmen will be able to meet people and make new friends.

Tips For Effective Remote Learning

Curran Rolls Out FREE Drive-in Movie Night Series

NASSAU ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 26, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Hopping on the popular pop-up drivein movie trend, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran announced that the County is rolling out a drive-in movie night series with FREE showings of family favorites under the stars on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout August. Food trucks will be onsite, and movie goers can get their fix of summertime snacks and movie theater staples.

“Nostalgic drive-ins, more than half a century after their heyday, are having a revival across

An increased reliance on virtual home instruction has many students rethinking their organizational strategies and daily school schedules.

Learning at home is different from being in a traditional classroom environment, but with some effective strategies, students can persevere without missing a beat.

• Stick To A Schedule.

Many students are successful because they follow a schedule. The Center for Social and Emotional Foundations of Early Learning says that routines and schedules are important because they influence a child’s emotional and cognitive development.

Children feel secure with schedules, which may help them recognize what’s expected of them.

When learning at home, students should strive to maintain as consistent a schedule as possible, including bedtimes, wake times, hours devoted to learning, and time to get outside or engage in downtime activities.

• Connect Live If Possible.

There are many free tools

and resources available that enable teachers to provide live video lessons or to record them so students can watch them later. Similarly, social networking apps and virtual meeting programs enable students to connect digitally. This can be helpful for collaborative learning assignments or just to see a familiar face.

• Stick To Tools That Work. Once students find apps or systems that work, they should stick with them, offers Khan Academy, an educational tutoring resource. There are many factors outside of one’s control during virtual instruction, but maintaining consistency with tools and schedules is one way to feel more confident and secure.

• Check Student Accounts Frequently. Just like students, teachers may be learning as they go in regard to remote learning strategies.

Students should be sure to check school email accounts or other places where teachers post assignments a few times per day so that they stay on top of all assignments

and are aware of due dates.

• Reach Out To Instructors. Allegheny College suggests students contact their teachers if they are unsure of how to participate in remote learning environments.

Ask questions about assignments, get clarification on key topics and be sure to tune into any remote chats or virtual “office hours.”

• Stay In Touch With Guidance, If Needed.

Remote learning is a new experience for many students, and there may be certain struggles or road blocks. It can be easy to grow frustrated with equipment failures or lack of in-person interaction.

Schools employ qualified therapists and guidance counselors who are just a click, call or email away if issues need to be talked through. Students should utilize all resources made available to them.

Virtual home instruction can be made even easier with some extra assistance and guidance.

the school year. Some parents may need to purchase supplemental insurance, and each parent should be willing to provide proof of their insurance as well.

• Reach out to parents in your neighborhood.

A carpool that is neighborhood-based as opposed to one that is based more on students’ social circles will likely prove more convenient for parents. A carpool with neighbors means parents won’t have to drive far to pick up and/or drop off other students, saving everyone valuable time each day.

• Don’t go overboard.

Even if your minivan or SUV can seat half a dozen children, you may want to limit the carpool to a more manageable number of youngsters.

Getting kids up and out the door each morning is a challenge when there’s just one youngster

involved, let alone several. By limiting a carpool to between two and four children, parents won’t have to worry about too many hiccups during their morning routines.

• Discuss early closures and other unique days in advance. School schedules tend to be the same throughout the year, but there are various times when early closures can affect carpools. This is especially true for parents with children who attend different schools. When planning a carpool, discuss early closure dates with other parents and develop a plan for how to manage pickup.

School carpools are convenient for working parents. Planning prior to the school year is a great way to ensure carpools are successful.

Getting kids to and from school can be a challenge for working parents. School start times do not always coordinate with parents’ work schedules, and school typically lets out before parents’ workdays end.

Carpools are one way parents confront the challenge posed by juggling work and family. With a new school year approaching, parents can take the following factors into consideration as they work to establish carpools.

• Determine your insurance needs. Before planning carpools, parents who plan to participate should contact their auto insurance providers to make sure their policies cover driving others. The organizer of the carpool should make sure every parent does this prior to

What To Know As An Adult Heading Back To School

College campuses are diverse. Newly minted high school graduates embarking on the next stage of their studies might dominate college campuses, but many established professionals who have long since graduated from high school are also among the student bodies at universities across the globe.

The National Center for Education Statistics says that one in five Americans enrolled in undergraduate higher education is at least 30 years old.

The changing face of higher education should be a comfort to adults who may have been apprehensive about heading back to school.

Adults considering a return to school should not allow age to deter them from enrolling.

Many people now complete degrees later in life, while others return to school to study subjects they did not study during their first go-rounds as college students.

Finding the right fit in regard to a college

is different for adults than it is students right out of high school.

Responsibilities to family and employers complicate the decision about where to go to school. The following tips can help adults as they decide where to continue their educations.

• Choose a school that meets your needs. Look for schools that can accommodate priorities other than academics, such as family and work.

Many schools now offer flexible schedules and online classes. Check out schools with strong reputations for working with adult learners.

• Sit down with a college counselor. If you’ve been in college before, pull your transcripts and bring any information about coursework, credits and life experience. This way you can be credited for what you have already accomplished.

Counselors can serve as invaluable resources as you navigate a return to the classroom.

• Brush up on the skills required of successful students. If you’ve been out of school for awhile,

brush up on your study skills, note-taking, annotating, and other skills that can serve you well in an academic environment.

• Speak with your employer. Many employers support employees who want to return to school, especially when employees will be gaining skills that are applicable to their existing careers. Some employees may even help their employers finance their educations.

According to Matthew Reed, the vice president for learning at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, N.J., roughly 90 percent of midsize or large employers offer some kind of tuition reimbursement.

Even when that’s not available, some employers may have an arrangement with certain schools that provide discounts to their workers, says Reed.

Adults returning to school is becoming increasingly common.

Planning and making use of resources at your disposal can help you navigate the process of returning to school as an adult.

Residents Encouraged to Donate Blood on September 3rd

Blood Donations to Help Replenish Supplies Amid Coronavirus Public Health Crisis

Oyster Bay Town Councilman Steve Labriola and Councilwoman Laura Maier have announced a partnership with the New York Blood Center to collect donations on Thursday, September 3, 2020 to help hospitals meet the ongoing and pressing need for blood during the coronavirus pandemic. The Blood Drive will take place from 1pm to 7pm at the Hicksville Athletic Center, located 167 S. Broadway in Hicksville. All donors will receive ‘Free Blizzards’ vouchers for Dairy Queen, which can be redeemed at their Massapequa, Levittown, Huntington or East Northport locations.

“Blood donations are extremely important during normal times to help secure any necessary blood transfusions for patients. Now, during this pandemic, blood supplies have dwindled tremendously and are critically low, so this blood drive, the largest upcoming drive in our local area, will be critical to help our local hospitals meet demand and continue their life-saving operations during these extraordinary times,” said Councilwoman Maier. “Please consider participating in this blood drive and help bolster our blood banks so that as many people as possible can be helped.”

The Town’s Blood Drive will operate by

appointment only, with no walk-in donations accepted. Social distancing and sanitary protocols will be in place to maintain the health and safety of all donors. To qualify as a blood donor, a person must between the ages of 17 and 75 years old (16 with parental permission and 76 or older with a doctor’s note), weigh at least 110 pounds and not have donated blood within the last 56 days. Anyone who received a tattoo within the past 12 months is ineligible to donate. It is recommended that volunteers eat well (low fat) and drink fluids in the days before the Blood Drive.

“Donating blood is a quick, easy, and safe process, and the pint of blood you donate will never be missed from your body, as it is quickly reproduced within your body,” Councilman Labriola added. “If you have family members or friends willing to donate, please ask them to support our effort this year, as this initiative is more vital than ever to help make sure that our local hospitals can meet the excessive demand during the coronavirus pandemic and continue to save the lives of as many people as possible.”

For information, contact the Town Board Office at (516) 624-6304.

St. Jude Walk/Run On Long Island Transforms To Virtual Event In celebration of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, supporters of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® from across the country, including the Long Island community, will be participating in the virtual St. Jude Walk/Run September 26th.

This year participants can walk, run and fundraise at their own pace and distance in their own neighborhoods. In addition, the St. Jude Walk/Run mobile app, is available in the Apple app store and on Google Play, to provide a unique experience to participants that includes a virtual tour of St. Jude Children’s

Research Hospital and some engagement opportunities using augmented reality.

Funds raised through events like this help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened nearly 60 years ago. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and

scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

How To Support Scholastic Athletes

• Create Smartphones have made it possible to record nearly every one of life’s special moments and milestones, so chances are coaches, parents and neighbors have footage of local athletes competing in their sports.

Parents, coaches and other fans can work together to create highlight videos for local scholastic sports teams, sharing the finished products via social media. These videos can make for great and lasting memories for student-athletes and even lift their spirits at a time when everyone can use a boost.

• Host pep rallies. Organize a pep rally to honor and show support for local athletes. Work with school officials to ensure everyone celebrates safely.

Such events are integral to studentathletes’ experience during typical sports seasons, so they can be a great way for communities to offer some semblance of normalcy to athletes who have worked hard to make the team.

Student-athletes face uncertainty in regard to the 2020-21 scholastic sports season, but there are many ways for local communities to support their student-athletes, even if the games are postponed or canceled.

5 Smart Ways to Prep for Back-to-School Without the Stress (StatePoint) Whether the new school year means your kids will be heading back to the classroom, learning remotely, or a mix of both, back-to-school will most likely be stressful.

Thinking ahead can help prepare everyone for a new way of learning, and simplify the transition from the slow ease of summertime to the bustle of the school year.

Follow these tips so that everyone is ready when the first bell rings.

1. Resume the Routine.

Summertime schedules are often lax, but a more structured routine is important during the school year. At least a week before classes start, reestablish set bedtimes and mealtimes to ease everyone back into school year habits.

Even if children are remote-learning this fall, keep first day of school traditions alive with their favorite breakfast, pictures and a first day of school outfit.

2. Simplify Shopping.

Create a checklist of items you’ll need to buy, as well as plan out where you’ll make purchases. Check school dress codes and required supply lists before you head out, so you don’t have to make multiple trips. In addition to the usual supplies, stock up on extra face masks, personal tissues and hand sanitizer. If your child will be learning virtually, you may want to consider adding items to the list like extra USB chargers and ports, noisecancelling headphones – to help older siblings concentrate – and even blue light filtering glasses for kids that will be in front of a computer or tablet more than usual.

3. Set Up a Homework Station. A dedicated space to store supplies and paperwork is key to staying organized. Let kids take pride in this space so they want to spend time studying there by having them create their own accessories and decorating them to their liking. Duck Tape provides an easy, inexpensive way to add flair to school gear. Cover notebooks and folders in a favorite Duck Tape design, customize desk organizers and décor with cool on-trend colors, or craft one-ofa-kind creations, like pencil pouches and tablet covers. Available in more than 250 colors, designs and licenses, there’s a roll to suit any kid’s style.

4. Stick to the Schedule.

Once the hustle and bustle of the school year kicks into high gear, it’s important that students, parents and teachers stay on track. Find a unique way to display activities, homework or personal messages to your kids like a “quote of the day.”

You can use colored tape and chalkboard tape to outline a fun activity chart on a dry erase board or chalkboard easel. In

addition to to-do lists and homework assignments, make sure to include outdoor time for recess and opportunities for arts and crafts. At the end of each day, sit together to check off everything that’s been completed and help your kids update the schedule for the next day – this way they stay engaged and excited for what’s to come.

5. Label Supplies. Kids are forgetful and it’s easy for supplies to become misplaced or swapped with other children. To ease your mind about your child sharing pencils or accidentally grabbing the wrong backpack, have a night where you sit down and label supplies with colorful Duck Tape. Your child can select favorite colors and customize folders for each subject.

If learning from home, this is also great way to prevent “he stole my pencil” arguments amongst siblings.

Simple preparations can help your family adjust to a new schedule and new school year.

The 2020-21 school year promises to be one unlike any other today’s students, and even their parents and grandparents, have ever known.

In March 2020, many schools were forced to abruptly cancel in-person instruction as government officials tried to prevent the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus. As the 201920 school year wound down and summer approached, school officials remained uncertain if they would reopen for in-person instruction in the fall, leaving student-athletes to wonder what would happen to fall sports seasons.

The cancellation of in-person school sessions and extracurricular activities was hard on every student, and athletes have proven no exception. Many graduating seniors did not get a chance to compete alongside their teammates during spring sports season, bringing their scholastic athletic careers to an abrupt end. With the upcoming 2020-21 scholastic sports season in similar limbo, student-athletes in the class of 2021 might be worried that their own chances to compete are in jeopardy as well. In light of that, local communities can take steps to support scholastic athletes during an uncertain time.

• Make a show of your support. Stayat-home measures prevented many schools from hosting traditional graduation ceremonies for graduating seniors. However, many communities found ways to honor their grads, and they can do the same for scholastic

Lifesaving Generator Safety Tips In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Isaias and in anticipation of an extremely active hurricane season, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran was recently joined by the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office to highlight and demonstrate safe generator installation and use. A growing number of local residents are purchasing generators for their homes to prepare for potential storm-related outages.

However, recent incidents have demonstrated that generators can pose a serious threat if installed or used improperly.

“As we continue to address Isaias aftermath and hold PSEG accountable, let’s keep an eye on what could be a record-setting storm season. Many residents are installing or using portable generators during storm season, and we want to make sure everyone is staying safe.

Portable generators can be a lifesaver during power outages, but when used or installed improperly they can be extremely dangerous.

Recently, a South Farmingdale homeowner lost their home after filling a hot generator with gasoline from a gas can that caused

the vapor to be ignited from the hot generator exhaust, and caused significant damage to the house,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran.

County Executive Curran and the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office offer the following safety guidelines for residents installing or using a portable generator.

Never use a generator indoors or in enclosed spaces.

This includes garages, crawl spaces, and basements. Opening windows will not help.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide poisoning caused by inadequate ventilation has been an all too common tragedy following natural disasters and blackouts.

Recognize signs and symptoms of CO poisoning, which includes dizziness, headaches, nausea, and tiredness.

If you or someone else should experience these symptoms, get them to fresh air immediately and seek medical attention.

Only fill generators with fuel when the generator is turned off and cool.

Fueling a hot generator can cause vapors to ignite. Before refueling, shut down the generator and allow it to cool. Fuel cans should be stored and

transported in approved vented containers marked with their contents. Filling gas cans must be done on the ground and not inside of a vehicle or the bed of a truck, with the vehicle turned off.

Generators should have at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides and above to ensure adequate ventilation. Watch out for the exhaust of your generator that the fumes do not come back into your home or the home of a neighbor and are kept away from fresh air intakes.

If you are powering your home, make sure that a licensed electrician installs the equipment.

Your electrical service main should be set to the off position. Do not create a condition where you feed power back into the grid and potentially seriously injure the same electrical utility workers trying to help you.

Keep generators out of the rain and avoid creating static electricity around them, especially when fueling the tank.

All generators should be grounded. Connect to a grounding rod, then to the generator frame itself, with a grounding cable or suitable copper wire.

LIFESAVING GENERATOR SAFETY TIPS - Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Assistant Chief Fire Marshal Michael Uttaro highlight the importance of generator safety.

11th Annual Over 50 Fair Will Be A Virtual Charity Conference The annual Over 50 Fair, in its 11th year, will be a virtual charity conference benefitting The INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network).

Usually the Over 50 Fair takes place at an area hotel and has attendance of 500-700 who enjoy its 30 exceptional classes, singles lounge, senior beauty queens, and more.

Because of COVID-19, this year’s event can be enjoyed by computer or phone on September 12 and 13 from 12-4 each day.

10 local speakers, some of whom are experts in their field, will be sharing information about a variety of topics of interest to Baby Boomers and seniors, including long term care insurance, a comedy show, Microsoft training, reverse mortgages, and cleaning without

chemicals.

The Over 50 Fair is the brainchild of East Hills resident Barbara Kaplan, who also coordinates the hugely successful All Kids Fair each year. She said that the Over 50 Fair is always “Overflowing with Opportunities for Age 50+,” although this year is a bit scaled down due to being virtual.

The exciting weekendlong 2020 Over 50 Fair will be a fundraiser for The INN, a local nonprofit that helps provide assistance to the hungry, needy, and homeless right here on Long Island.

After the 2019 event, Cynthia Sucich of The INN shared “The Over 50 Fair is an AMAZING event that focuses on the various needs of those who are...Over 50! The INN is so honored to have been the chosen

charity of the event for 8 years. This is one event you don’t want to miss!”

Sponsors for this year’s event include Fountaingate Gardens, Law Offices of Cohen & Jaffe, Blank Slate Media, 50 Plus LifeStyles, South Bay’s Neighbor, and 516Ads.com / 631Ads. com.

For information about the event and to make a donation to The INN, please visit www.Over50Fair.com and www.Over50Fair. com/2020-Event.

A minimum donation of $10 is requested but not required to view the conference.

A minimum donation of $40 is requested to be a Supporter of the Over 50 Fair. Supporters are listed at www.Over50Fair. com/Supporters.

11TH ANNUAL OVER 50 FAIR WILL BE A VIRTUAL CHARITY CONFERENCE - The annual Over 50 Fair, in its 11th year, will be a virtual charity conference benefitting The INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network). This year’s event can be enjoyed by computer or phone on September 12 and 13 from 12-4 each day.

Bank Of America Connects Long Island-Area Youth To Workforce Success Celebrating the 17th year of its Student Leaders program, Bank of America today announced that the five Long Island high school juniors and seniors selected as Student Leaders (#BofAStudentLeaders) have completed their paid summer internship experience of leadership, civic engagement, and workforce skills-building.

In light of the health concerns that remain in local communities, the program was adapted to a virtual format, through which students had the opportunity to participate in sessions that exposed them to the vital role that nonprofits play in advancing community health, the importance of public private partnerships to advance social change, and a focus on building financial acumen.

The Class of 2020 Long Island based Bank of America Student Leaders are: · Anjali Aggarwal, a Levittown resident and rising senior at W. Tresper Clarke High School, who interned at EAC Network. · Jason Deonarine, a Deer Park resident and rising senior at Deer Park High School, who interned at United Way of Long Island. · Jeremy Lanz, a Huntington resident and rising senior at Walt Whitman High School, who interned at the Family Service League. · Samantha Rochester, a Wyandanch resident, Wyandanch Memorial High School graduate and rising freshman at Farmingdale State College, who interned at the United

Way of Long Island.

Zborovsky· Avalon Fenster, a resident of Huntington Station, Stony Brook School graduate and rising freshman at Barnard College of Columbia University, who interned at the Family Service League.

Long Island Student Leaders participated in programming that leveraged Bank of America’s national partnerships and expertise and worked closely with the bank’s Long Island leadership and nonprofit partners.

They participated in a collaborative, mentoringfocused project working closely with United Way of Long Island, Family Service League, and the EAC Network to continue the nonprofits’ missions and help Long Island’s most vulnerable populations. In addition, Student Leaders engaged in conversations focused on social justice, civil rights and how to build a more diverse and inclusive society and have the opportunity to gain a

better understanding of their personal finances through Better Money Habits®, Bank of America’s financial wellness and education platform.

The United Way of Long Island and Bank of America have a longstanding partnership.

The nonprofit was recently awarded coronavirus relief grant funding to increase capacity and access to their urgently needed community services and has mentored Student Leaders in previous years.

“We at the United Way value our relationship with Bank of America and it is an honor to work with their Student Leaders.

We have hosted Student Leaders since 2007 and admire their dedication to making a difference in our communities,” said Theresa A. Regnante, president and CEO of United Way of Long Island. “Although we are not working together in person this year, we had a successful summer

of building upon their leadership skills and learning from one another.”

Bringing students from across the country together in order to discuss the role of citizenship and how cross sector collaboration creates community impact is a core component of the Student Leaders program.

This year, 300 students gathered virtually for the Young America Together at Home program, delivered by the Close Up Foundation, which included discussion of finding one’s voice in order to effect change and pressing policy issues such as the economy, healthcare, the environment and immigration.

“As a life-long resident of Long Island, I am consistently inspired by the impact our local Student Leaders have on their communities,” said Bob Isaksen, Long Island market president for Bank of America. “I’m happy to have welcomed our five newest students

to the program this summer and know that they will continue to enrich our society. Bank of America is committed to supporting young adults of all backgrounds by connecting them to jobs, skills-building, and leadership development.

It is imperative that we continue creating opportunities for our youth to gain skills and build networks that will guide them to make meaningful change in our community.”

Now in particular, in the wake of significant job losses nationwide, the ability to earn a paycheck will be essential to many young people whether they are helping to support their families or planning for the future. As part of their Student Leader experience, each student received a $5,000 stipend to recognize them for their community achievements.

Recent estimates suggest that the number of disconnected youth – those who aren’t in school and don’t have a job – has likely tripled since last year and could be as high as 18 million. Without access to opportunities that build career skills, many young people may be left behind, leading to high rates of youth unemployment and hindering overall economic progress. In addition to Student Leaders, the bank invests in summer jobs for young people through its partnership with 40 summer youth employees working remotely across the Long Island market.

This summer, Bank of America is connecting approximately 3,000 young adults to summer jobs through partnerships with nonprofits and local mayors and its own Student Leaders® program.

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.

The lectures consist of instructions on how to meditate, a short meditation sitting and questions and answers. There is a never a charge for any of these workshops.

These programs take place at various libraries in different parts of the country. Please call the library for information.

PSEG Long Island to Reimburse Customers for Food and Medicines PSEG Long Island is expanding its claims policy due to the COVID-19 pandemic so that customers whose electrical service was interrupted by Tropical Storm Isaias for at least 72 hours can be reimbursed for spoiled food and medication.

The tropical storm knocked out power for more than 420,000 customers on Long Island and in the Rockaways, making it the

most destructive storm since Superstorm Sandy.

“We recognize that losing power in August, together with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, was a hardship for many of our customers,” PSEG Long Island President and COO Daniel Eichhorn said. “Given the unique combination of circumstances, we believe the right thing to do is to expand our claims process

to ease the burden on the customers most impacted by Tropical Storm Isaias.”

PSEG Long Island will reimburse residential customers up to $250 and commercial customers up to $5,000 for food spoilage if their service was interrupted for 72 hours or longer between Aug. 4, and Aug. 12, 2020 because of Tropical Storm Isaias.

For residential customers,

food spoilage claims of $150 or less must include an itemized list. Food spoilage claims over $150 must include an itemized list and proof of loss (for example: cash register tapes, store or credit card receipts, canceled checks or photographs of spoiled items).

Separately, customers will be reimbursed for losses, up to a maximum of $300, for prescription medications

that spoiled due to lack of refrigeration.

Customers must provide an itemized list of the medications and proof of loss (for example: pharmacy prescription label or pharmacy receipt identifying the medicine).

Commercial customers applying for reimbursement must supply an itemized list of spoiled food and proof of loss (invoices, inventory lists, bank statements).

Customers can apply for reimbursement at www. psegliny.com/claims.

The reimbursement claims cannot be processed over the phone.

Customers will have until Sept. 16, 2020 to file claims.

Reimbursement is expected to take up to 60 business days from when a proper claim form is completed and submitted to PSEG Long Island.

Caffeine Content In Popular Coffees Many people insist they cannot make it through a morning without their favorite cup of coffee. For some, the taste of the coffee might be a secondary consideration. In such instances, caffeine, and the jolt it provides on sleepy, earling mornings, is the true allure of that morning cup of joe.

However, it’s

important to learn just how much caffeine is in your morning coffee.

That’s because the side effects of consuming too much caffeine can be severe. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, consuming more than 400 milligrams of coffee can be harmful.

The potential side effects of overconsumption of caffeine include: · restlessness and shakiness · insomnia

· headaches · dizziness · rapid or abnormal heart rhythm · dehydration · anxiety · dependency Many working professionals pick up a cup of coffee on their way into work each morning, which can make it difficult to monitor their caffeine intake.
