Tender Loving Cats to the Rescue Tender Loving Cats, a non-profit, a Long Island no-kill kitten and cat rescue run entirely by volunteers, experienced a boom in families stepping up to foster kittens and friendly adult cats over the past year due to the pandemic.

This led to many more cats and kittens coming into the adoption program from the streets and finding homes.

However, the need for foster families is ongoing.

“Fostering is fun, rewarding and saves lives,” said Marge Goldin, a volunteer for the organization.

“During ‘kitten season’ which runs April through October, Tender Loving Cats and other rescues get more requests for kitten placement than can be handled. But the number of kittens that can be saved is limited only by the number of fosters available.”

Tender Loving Cats manages all the medical needs of the cats/kittens and provides assistance and support throughout the process. Once they are old enough and socialized, Tender Loving cats uses social media to find them

forever homes. No cat or kitten is adopted before they are spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.

Goldin says that Tender Loving Cats is always in need of volunteers to assist in working 2-hour shifts in the two adoption centers that the organization runs out of two PetSmart locations in North Babylon and West Babylon.

“This past year has been especially challenging, as the number of homeless cats has risen, whether due to people losing their jobs and not being able to care for their cats anymore or moving to other locations and leaving their cats behind,” Goldin said. “We are stretched to the limit, but we are determined to save as many cats as possible. We have a motto at Tender Loving Cats that we rescue the mistreated, save the injured and love the abandoned and we try to do just that.”

Occasionally Tender Loving Cats is faced with situations where cats or kittens have serious medical challenges.

Blindness, deafness, injury, illness or special

medication needs present themselves.

Recently, as part of a widespread initiative trying to manage the cat population at Hofstra University, a volunteer took on the responsibility to foster a kitten born missing its back legs. The volunteer, Claudia Cannam, a Hofstra law student, is currently looking into getting the kitten a prosthesis. Rescues the mistreat Tender Loving Cats has a Trap-Neuter-Return program that targets the feral cat explosion on Long Island. Help for ferals is available in the form of trap rental and assistance with trapping. The rescue also can offer financial assistance to low income cat parents seeking to neuter their pets.

Tender Loving Cats has need for all kinds of volunteer help. Like to raise money?

Want to keep adoption paperwork organized?

The Plainview Water District would like to remind residents that water main breaks occur more often during the winter months, but are a completely normal experience for this time of year. Fortunately, the District has a highly trained staff that is capable of quickly addressing these potentially emergency situations to a degree where nearby residents may not even know a break has occurred.

“Water main breaks are an unfortunate reality in any area that experiences extreme cold, and Long Island certainly qualifies,” said Marc Laykind, chairman of the Plainview Water District. “The good news is that we in the Plainview Water District have an experienced staff that responds to breaks 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to minimize any potential interruptions to your water supply as much as possible.”

As the case with all coldweather climates, water main

breaks are an unfortunate reality as they typically occur when there is movement in the soil surrounding the water pipes or a freeze/ thawing condition. Water mains are installed below the frost line; however, when the soil shrinks or swells it places pressure on the pipes causing a break. Though the length of time to repair a leak varies from incident to incident depending on its severity and how quickly the leak can be located, PWD employees are trained to repair all types of breaks efficiently, quickly and safely.

“Water main breaks present an opportunity for residents to experience a drop in water pressure or discolored water,” said PWD Commissioner Amanda Field. “Luckily, both of these are temporary as our dedicated crews react quickly to each break and do whatever they can to limit potential interruptions to our residents’ water service while the repair is being

made.”

When water service is restored, residents may notice air in their pipes and the water may be discolored.

The discoloration is not harmful, but can stain laundry. If you experience discolored water, let the cold water run from a faucet or

tub at the closest area to your incoming service line for a few minutes or until it clears.

“While we have systems in place to learn about main breaks shortly after they occur, there are situations where they are not easily detected,” said PWD

Commission Andrew Bader.

“Anytime someone suspects there may be a water main break in their neighborhood, they should never hesitate to contact us and report the situation. The quicker we can locate a break, the quicker we can respond to it, and the quicker the issue

can be resolved. While most main breaks are not dire emergencies, they can lead to one if left unattended.”

The Plainview Water District asks for residents’ help in reporting potential main breaks. Residents that notice areas of wetness along the curb, bubbling of water in the roadway or unexplainable icy conditions are encouraged to contact the Plainview Water District immediately at 516-9316469.

If you have questions about preparing your home’s water system for the winter or general inquiries about your water service, please call 516931-6469 or send an email to info@plainviewwater. org. Customers of the Plainview Water District are also encouraged to sign up to receive updates by filling out the form at www.plainviewwater.org or by following the Plainview Water District on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ plainviewwater.

emergency is a crucial part of the equation.”

The District’s reverse-911 system, provided by SwiftReach Networks, is capable of delivering urgent messages directly to residents via phone, text or email. By having residents submit their most up-to-date contact information, the District’s reverse-911 system will be able to contact residents and business owners with information regarding water-related emergencies.

All information is securely stored in District databases and is only used in the case of an emergency.

To ensure a resident is signed up to receive emergency notifications or to confirm their contact information is accurate, please visit www. plainviewwater.org and fill out the appropriate form under the tab for “Resources” and then “Emergency Notification System.” The contact information received

“EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM” - The Plainview Water District website with “Emergency Notification System” circled to easily direct residents to sign up for these important notifications from a waterrelated emergency. will only be accessed in the aforementioned circumstances and will be kept confidential. Residents can also update or confirm the information on file by

calling the District at 516931-6469.

For further information, or if you have any questions, please call the District at 516-931-6469, email info@

plainviewwater.org or visit www.plainviewwater.org. To receive regular updates from the Plainview Water District, please sign up for email updates on the District’s

IMPORTANT: Sign Up For Water District’s Emergency Notification System There aren’t many things more important than water, which is why the Plainview Water District Board of Commissioners would like to remind the PlainviewOld Bethpage community the importance of signingup and/or confirm their contact information with the District. Ensuring that each resident has provided the District with accurate contact information allows residents to receive emergency notifications about their water service should a situation ever arise.

“The District has the systems in place to immediately reach our residents should a waterrelated issue occur; however, we can only do so if we have our residents’ up-to-date contact information on file.” said PWD Board Chairman Marc Laykind. “There is nothing more important to us than the well-being of our community and having the ability to quickly inform residents in the event of an

Tips for Enjoying a Drive-In Movie Experience

(StatePoint) Social distancing guidelines across the country have made visiting a conventional movie theater difficult, if not impossible.

However, what was once a relic of the past has now become an innovation in entertainment, the drivein movie theater.

The drive-in movie theater is nearly as old as the automobile itself.

While today, there are about 300 drive-in theaters across the country, many more are popping up wherever there is space.

Indeed, Walmart recently announced more than 160 of its parking lots will be converted into drive-in movie theaters around the country and many small businesses are doing the same.

“A drive-in movie is the ideal event for anyone with a car because they can get out for a drive to enjoy a common experience with friends and family while taking appropriate social distancing precautions,” says Rah Mahtani, marketing communications manager

for MINI USA. To shed light on this rediscovered institution of cinema, MINI USA created a guide for drivers to help them make the most of the experience. Here are five of their top tips: 1. Arrive early. Many theaters allow guests to arrive up to an hour before the show begins.

Take advantage of this time to pick the best parking spot and stretch your legs. If the snack bar is open, grab a treat!

2. Bring the right car. A MINI Convertible is ideal for an open air viewing experience under the stars, while the MINI Countryman has room for the whole family.

3. Bring snacks. If your drive-in allows it, bring your favorite movie-viewing snacks like popcorn, soft pretzels, candy and soda.

4. Safely enjoy with friends. You can still safely go to the movies with your friends while staying socially distanced.

Meet at a nearby location to rally to the drive-in in separate cars. If you’re a MINI owner, check with

your local MINI owner’s club about a drive-in movie rally. You can even bring two-way radios or set up a group chat on your phone for live commentary of the movie.

5. Pack strategically.

Be sure to pack a blanket in case there’s an evening chill in the air.

A small pillow can also help support your back through the movie. Bring a small trash bag, too for all of your wrappers, empty cups and popcorn buckets. And lastly, if your car doesn’t already have one, bring a phone charger.

No drive-in theater near you? No problem.

Try hosting your own. For more drive-in tips and fun facts, visit miniusa.com/ drivein.

It’s no secret that over the past several months, almost everything we took for granted in our lives has changed dramatically, even nights at the movies.

By taking a cue from the past, you can still enjoy the silver screen with extended family and friends.

Free Drive-In Movies Return to Hempstead Town

The nostalgia and magic of drive-in movies returns for a third installment to Town Park Point Lookout for a special “Winter Break” film series in February.

As many schools across America’s largest township will be on a one-week hiatus for the annual “winter break,” between February 12th and February 21st, Supervisor Don Clavin and the Hempstead Town Board invite residents of all ages to enjoy a week of free entertainment at Town Park Point Lookout from the comfort and safety of their vehicles.

Extending the Town of Hempstead’s ongoing efforts to provide safe, COVID friendly entertainment throughout the summer, fall and now into the winter, Supervisor Clavin and the Town Board are excited to provide families with a fun option while children are home for a week in the middle of February.

Presented by Supervisor Clavin, along with Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby, Councilman Bruce Blakeman, Councilman Anthony D’Esposito, Councilman Dennis Dunne, Sr., Councilman Tom Muscarella, Councilman Chris Carini, Town Clerk Kate Murray and Receiver Jeanine Driscoll, the Town of Hempstead’s Winter Break Drive-In Movie series will feature a variety of films for all ages and interests.

“The Town of Hempstead

was among the first municipalities to put together safe and socially distanced drive-in movies and concerts during the summer, fall and now deep into the winter in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Supervisor Clavin. “We are thrilled to continue our efforts with the Winter Break Drive-In Movie Series, and invite residents to come on down to Point Lookout and enjoy a film from the comfort and safety of their vehicles.”

The Town of Hempstead has successfully adapted many town events to a drive-thru format. In addition to drive-in movies and concerts earlier this year, the town has hosted drive-thru awards ceremonies for veterans, firefighters, boy scouts, graduations, little leagues and much more.

All movies will be hosted at Town Park Point Lookout (1300 Lido Boulevard, Point Lookout), and will be open to Town of Hempstead residents only on a first come, first served basis.

The Town of Hempstead’s Winter Break Movie Series Schedule is as follows: Family Fun Friday February 19: Jumanji: The Next Level at 7 p.m.

Double Feature Saturdays February 20: Guardians of the Galaxy at 2 p.m.

February 20: When Harry Met Sally at 7 p.m.

Sunday “Funday” February 21: Coco at 4

p.m.

Weekday Wonders February 17: Toy Story 4 at 2 p.m.

February 18: Moonstruck at 7 p.m.

A printable schedule, as well as COVID-19 event safety information, will be available at hempsteadny. gov. Some important safety regulations include: All attendees must remain in their vehicles for the duration of their stay.

If you need to use a restroom, you must wear a mask.

Visitors are asked to exercise patience and understanding as town employees will be explaining rules and regulations and taking additional precautions pertaining to COVID-19.

The media sponsor for the drive-in movies series is KJOY 98.3FM. “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re committed to the safety of residents, while also providing them with fun entertainment options to get them through this difficult period,” concluded Supervisor Clavin. “While others have scaled back or canceled activities, we at the Town of Hempstead have worked to uncover safe and socially distanced events to help provide special memories to our residents. I encourage residents to enjoy our upcoming Winter Break Drive-In Movie series.”

Palliative Care Services

New York Cancer & Blood Specialists (NYCBS), one of the Nation’s leading oncology practices, announced it will provide full-time Supportive and Palliative Care services throughout their cancer centers on Long Island and New York City.

Palliative care, often misconstrued as end of life or hospice care, is a medical discipline aimed at improving the quality of life for patients with a serious, lifelimiting, advanced illness.

NYCBS’ expansion in the integration of palliative care seeks to enhance the quality of care patients receive by focusing on what their goals of care and treatment are.

NYCBS provides advanced care planning, identifies patient’s wishes, and symptom management in local, outpatient settings helping patients control pain and enhance their quality of life, which leads to better outcomes.

Isaac Hardoon, DO, Chief of Division is a renowned physician leading the Supportive and Palliative Care program and providing additional supportive resources and comprehensive care both

in-person and remotely.

The program is designed to alleviate some of the physician burdens in managing symptoms and side effects with NYCBS’ team of physical therapists, nutritionists, social workers, and psychologists.

Any physician in the community can request a consultation from NYCBS’ palliative care physicians.

Dr. Hardoon is a graduate of Stony Brook University where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts with a Minor in Biology. He obtained his Doctor of Osteopathy from West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his internship and residency in the Department of Medicine at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. Dr. Hardoon completed his fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, and for the past 3.5 years was a Palliative Care Attending Physician and serves as Assistant Professor of Medicine at Albert Einstein School of Medicine.

“Where you live shouldn’t determine your access to the best

quality of life and highest quality of care during a chronic illness,” said Dr. Jeff Vacirca, CEO of New York Cancer & Blood Specialists. “NYCBS has always been dedicated to comprehensive, holistic care, and palliative medicine is an important addition for our patients who have chronic illnesses.

Now, we can empower our patients throughout our offices to make choices about their treatment so they can live the best life possible.”

Patients should discuss with their doctor if they believe palliative care would be helpful for them.

About New York Cancer & Blood Specialists: New York Cancer & Blood Specialists is committed to our patients.

We are dedicated to providing each patient with a unique path to treatment and unmatched support. We strive to make quality, comprehensive cancer care available to each and every patient throughout New York.

February Is Library Lovers’ Month A month-long celebration of school, public and private libraries of all types.

This is a time for everyone, especially library support groups, to recognize the value of libraries and to work to ensure that the nation’s libraries will continue to serve.

It’s important to understand that not everything is available on the internet (yet), and libraries can have vast digital stores of qualitative and quantitative information escaping from opinion led snippets and snapshots from online.

It’s also important to

know that libraries offer services that aren’t available on the internet, including free assistance in finding obscure information and borrowing a book that may not be available in the admittedly immense catalog one can find on the internet.

Minimum purchase of 4. Interest accrues from the date of purchase but is waived if paid in full within 12 months.

The Charity of the Month for February is the

cancer treatment.

Clients meet with trained exercise physiologists for one-onone personal training sessions to address their specific physical goals and issues.

Gift Of Health & Inspiration (GOHI): The Gift Of Health & Inspiration program includes a free tote bag, which is designed to be a supportive companion to the newly diagnosed cancer patient. The tote bag is filled with items to assist with your mind, body and soul. The items are nurturing, organic and holistic. They are given to patients at Good Samaritan and St. Catherine’s.

Scholorship Programs: The BBCC offers scholarships to Babylon Township high school seniors who have had a parent or legal guardian with a personal breast and/ or gynecological cancer history. An essay must be submitted to be in the running for a scholarship!

Vision Of Hope Garden (VOHG): There is a VOHG that this coalition started that is located on the southeast corner of Babylon Town Hall in Lindenhurst. Engraved bricks can be purchased in memory or in honor of someone who has battled breast or gynecological cancer and they will be installed in this garden. Bricks are available for engraving and installation at a cost of $50 each.

If you would like to get involved with any of the programs listed above, please contact the coalition directly at info@ babylonbreastcancer.org or 631.893.4110.

Additionally, the BBCC is holding an Online Psychic Night! Join others for a gallery style reading as Georgia Rose channels messages from the other side! This will be a virtual event on February 19th at 7pm.

Registration is $20 and those who will attend have the opportunity to partake in a raffle with great prizes!

Lastly, if you have an interest in volunteering with or donating to the BBCC, visit their website at www.babylonbreastcancer.org for more information!

The Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition (BBCC) was founded in 1993 by three friends who lived in Babylon.

Determined to fight against breast cancer by raising awareness and educating women, the BBCC with their dedicated volunteers undertook the task of completing a demographic survey to ascertain the incidence of breast cancer in Babylon.

From this, a volunteer driven grass-roots organization grew, which serves the entire Township of Babylon, including those with all gynecological cancers in addition to those with breast cancer. Today they provide direct patient services and support to help ease the burdens that breast and all gynecological cancers put on patients and their families/caregivers.

In addition to assisting in the basic needs of those battling cancer, they also reach out to the community at large, providing educational programs to encourage healthier lifestyles, which would decrease the still very high instance of these cancers in our community. Please note, if you do not live in this township, you can still reach out to the BBCC to find out who in your area can be of help to you.

Below is a list of all of the programs that the BBCC offers.

Lend A Helping Hand (LAHH): This unique patient service program provides much needed stress relief for Babylon Township women undergoing treatment for breast cancer and all types of gynecological cancers, as well as their families confronting diagnosis and ensuing treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Some of the services this program offers include house cleaning, transportation to/from medical appointments, financial assistance, child care, massage therapy, meal preparation and more.

Pink & Teal Exercise Program: This exercise program is designed to help women regain flexibility, stamina and strength following breast or gynecological surgery and/or

(2/19-3/20) Pisces is the twelfth sign of the zodiac, and it is also the final sign in the zodiacal cycle. Pisces are selfless, spiritual and very focused on their inner journey. They also place great weight on what they are feeling. It’s a pair of Fish that represents Pisces, a symbol that prompts others to suggest that these people ‘go with the flow’ and ‘don’t make waves.’ The great strength of the Pisces-born is their compassionate and charitable nature. These folks love to help others and do so in the most imaginative of ways. It’s their feeling sensibility that wins people over.

Residents Encouraged to Donate Blood To help hospitals meet the ongoing and pressing need for blood during the coronavirus pandemic, Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Michele Johnson and Councilman Tom Hand remind residents that a Blood Collection Drive will take place on Monday, March 15th from 1pm to 7pm at the Hicksville Athletic Center, located at 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.

Councilwoman Johnson stated, “You can save lives by donating blood this March at the Hicksville Athletic Center. Blood supplies have dwindled during this COVID-19 health

pandemic and are critically needed for local hospitals to meet the demand and continue saving lives.

Please consider participating in this blood drive on March 15th.”

Appointments are preferred for the Town’s Blood Drive.

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.

Councilman Hand added, “It’s quick, easy, and safe to donate a single pint of blood which can save up to three lives. 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 additional information regarding the Town’s Blood Drive, contact the Town Board Office at (516) 624-6380.

To make an appointment to donate blood at this Blood Drive, sign up today at http://bit.ly/2MXjabP.
