Start Slowly Before Starting Home Improvement Projects Just like certain exercises, home improvement projects may involve heavy lifting, bending, moving, and stretching. After spending much of the winter indoors and largely sedentary, some homeowners may be tempted to jump into projects with gusto

when the warm weather returns, but that can be a recipe for injury that can sideline DIYers.

Homeowners can start slowly and then gradually work longer hours, just as they might do when returning to exercise after time off. Homeowners can see how their muscles

feel after an hour or two.

Homeowners who vary the tasks they tackle will use different muscle groups, which can reduce strain and limit injury risk.

Whenever possible, opt for ergonomic tools that can reduce users’ risk of repetitive stress injuries.

MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ARMOR - To mark the anniversary of the end of the deadly Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War, Bishop Barrington Goldson of Calvary Tabernacle of Hempstead offered prayers at the Museum of American Armor where he was joined by Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, former Congressman Peter King, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Vietnam veterans and living historians. The 1968 Tet Offensive marked a strategic turning point in the Vietnam conflict for while the Communists lost tens of thousands of soldiers in a failed attempt to take and hold key centers across South Vietnam the attacks were a severe psychological blow to the American public. The end of the offensive saw the beginning of America’s eventual disengagement from the war.

Choosing The Best ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS! Now Is The Time To Make 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 lightemitting 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.

T h e Twilight Wish Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to honor and enrich the lives of seniors through intergenerational Twilight Wish celebrations.

Since the organization’s founding in 2003, their goal has been to make the world a nicer place to age, one Twilight Wish at a time. When a Twilight Wish is granted, a senior is recognized for all that they have done throughout their lives and is shown that they are appreciated and valued.

To date, the Twilight Wish Foundation has granted over 3,700 wishes throughout our country and multiple wishes have being granted on Long Island recently! These wishes have ranged from simple needs wishes, such as shaving razors for nursing home veterans, to living life to the fullest wishes, such as going cross country in a tractor trailer truck.

Recently, many Long Island residents had their wishes come true.

Each week for the remaining weeks this month, I will feature wishes that were granted right here on Long Island, starting with Kathy W. Dorothy Delia is an 87 year old resident of West Babylon. She worked and volunteered for the Salvation Army in Ridegewood and Queens for over 20 years. Prior to COVID, she was very involved in her church by coordinating the prayer chain, greeting worshippers and helping at fundraisers and events.

Dorothy desperately needed dental work, but because she lives on a fixed income, she could not afford it on her own. She had been losing teeth and could only eat soft foods. She wished for dental work, which was granted! In February 2020, she got a new healthy smile!

Many seniors experience social isolation, which can lead to undesirable

conditions.

Granting a Twilight Wish can help change that!

You can qualify for a Twilight Wish if you are at least 65 years old, are a legal U.S. citizen, demonstrate financial need, provide a history of giving back to others and possess the cognitive, emotional and physical ability to experience the wish. Please note, when going to grant a wish, this foundation takes all the necessary safety precautions.

If you would like to get involved with The Twilight Wish Foundation, you can! You can become a Twilight Wish Sponsor, which benefits your business and the Foundation’s mission. There are many levels. For more information, contact Cass Forkin at 212.534.0402.

Additionally, if you are interested in volunteering with their Long Island Chapter, you can fill out the Chapter Volunteer Application at www.twilightwish.org/volunteeropportunities/ and someone will get in contact with you regarding how you can do so. The Long Island chapter operates under the direction of James Ciervo.

Town Seeks Volunteers for March 27th Dune Day at TOBAY Beach Social-Distanced Event Protects Environment

Residents who love visiting the beach and want to help protect the shoreline can join Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board at the Towns’ annual Dune Day, scheduled for Saturday, March 27th at TOBAY

Beach. The event begins at 10 a.m. by the dunes at TOBAY. Supervisor Saladino stated, “The Dune Stabilization Project brings together residents of all ages in an effort to protect and preserve our beautiful shoreline and environment by planting

stalks of dune grass.

This year, our event takes a social-distanced approach as volunteers must wear a mask and remain socially distant for the duration of the event.”

The Dune Stabilization Project helps preserve our beach and barrier

island for future generations, Volunteers work alongside Town officials and crews, as well as residents from across the Town who share an interest in helping preserve TOBAY Beach.

Dunes along our south shore continue

to face environmentally damaging storms that have a significant impact on the beach. Statistics indicate that the planting of dune grass provides a natural shield that is perfect for withstanding storm surges and high winds.

Residents interested

in volunteering or seeking additional information, may contact the Department of Environmental Resources at (516) 677-5943, via email at environmental@ oysterbay-ny.gov or visit w w w. o y s t e r b a y t o w n . com.

Long Island’s Premier Home Health Care Agency evaluate food preparation and baking skills as well as housekeeping talent.

“These friendly competitions highlighted both our staff and residents and greatly increased morale!” said Megan Elba, assistant administrator at the North Westchester Restorative Therapy and Nursing Center “All the participating facilities went above and beyond, and our staff and residents loved it!

We also shared on social media so that families, friends and loved ones could also enjoy watching the competitions and cheer their athletes on.”

“The Olympics was a great way to bring together residents and staff alike,” said Stacey Altman, administrator for Excel at Woodbury Nursing and Rehabilitation. “It allowed us to have some fun and help rebuild morale within the building. The halls were alive with laughter and friendly competition.

It was amazing to see all the hidden talents come out and be celebrated.”

Monitored by ADT ® the #1 home security company in the U.S.

The winning facility that took the “gold” was Momentum at South Bay for Rehabilitation and Nursing; Silver went to Surge in Middle Island and Bronze was a tie, between Quantum of Middle Island and Excel at Woodbury for Rehabilitation and Nursing.

The Paragon Winter Olympics was a great deal of fun for everyone involved,” said Joe Aplustille, administrator.

“The week gave us an opportunity to laugh again and de-stress a bit. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. Of course, the cherry on top was winning the Gold!”

The COVID-19 pandemic has postponed, altered and canceled many sporting events worldwide, so staff members at some Long Island and Westchester nursing homes staged their own by organizing a Winter Olympics competition.

The staff at several “sister” nursing and rehabilitation facilities competed in events including an opening ceremony that passed the Olympic torch, a nursing ace bandage wrap-off, a 100-ft egg and spoon race, therapy wheelchair races featuring the fastest therapy staff members, and a “Purell relay race, a timed competition involving 10 staff members passing and using hand sanitizer down a line.

Each day of the week encouraged staff and residents to compete in a talent show and trivia contest, wear their best sweat suits to work, and to decorate residents’ doors.

Facilities earned points for each event and task, and judges were brought in to

Many St. Patrick’s Day Traditions Are Not From Ireland

NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 17, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

St. Patrick’s Day is made special by various traditions.

Everything from dyeing major cities’ rivers green to parades to enjoying green foods has become part of the pageantry of St. Patrick’s Day. The next time you

raise a green beer to your lips, you may wonder which traditions are authentically Irish and which ones were created by regions with an abundance of Irish emigrants. Surprisingly, many seemingly Irish traditions likely began

elsewhere.

First parade It would be accurate to assume that various elements associated with St. Patrick’s Day began where St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, once resided, including the first St. Patrick’s Day parade. However, some of the first parades held in St. Patrick’s honor took place in two North American cities, New York and Boston, that had high numbers of Irish immigrants, but historians say the first ever St. Patrick’s Day parade was actually held in St. Augustine, Florida in 1601, a year after gunfire blasts were used to honor the saint. The parade may have been at the request of an Irish priest living there at the time.

Corned beef and cabbage What would St. Patrick’s Day be without an authentic meal of corned beef and cabbage? This dish is not so authentic after all, and actually is an American innovation.

Ham and cabbage was widely eaten in Ireland, but corned beef was a cheaper alternative found in America by immigrants.

Therefore, corned beef became a staple of poor Irish immigrants living in lower Manhattan. The salted meat was boiled three times to remove some of the brine and make it palatable.

Green beer Green beer is not an Irish custom, but an American one. The most common beer consumed in Ireland is Guinness, which is dark brown to black in color, making green dye useless in Irish pubs since it would be largely invisible in the stout.

Golf tournaments One would not associate golf with St. Patrick’s Day unless they reside in Nome, Alaska. Golf is a popular Irish pastime,

and each year the Bering Sea Ice Classic Golf Tournament takes place right around St. Patrick’s Day. Bright green golf balls are used, and breaks are factored in between holes to warm up at local bars.

Wearing green According to The Christian Science Monitor, individuals in the United States started wearing green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the early 1700s. They believed it “made one invisible to

leprechauns.” The official color for the holiday used to be a sky blue known as “St. Patrick’s Day Blue,” established during the reign of King George III. In addition to these traditions, specialty items, such as coffees and shakes, also are very popular. However, most of these do not have origins on the Emerald Isle, either. Yet, no matter where traditions began, there’s no denying St. Patrick’s Day has long inspired celebration.

thrive in a future yet to be envisioned, and we are honored to support their endeavors.”

According to new research by College Board, female students who take AP computer science courses are more than five times as likely to major in computer science in college. Currently, female students make up only 34% of AP Computer Science Principles participants, and less than half of the nation’s high schools teach foundational computer science.

Providing female students with access to computer science courses is critical to ensuring gender parity in the industry’s highpaying jobs and to drive innovation, creativity, and representation.

College Board is a notfor-profit organization

that connects students to college success, helping students navigate the transition from high school to college each year through programs such as the SAT, AP, and BigFuture.

Career Path According to a University of Phoenix survey, employers are looking for employees who possess competency in management (56 percent), critical thinking (52 percent) and communication (50 percent).

Kevin Wilhelmsen at University of Phoenix said an MBA can help develop or improve professional soft skills while remaining relevant to their career path.

Ethan Chen, Austin Fei,

Syosset High School has earned the College Board AP® Computer Science Female Diversity Award for expanding young women’s access to AP Computer Science courses and helping close the gender gap in computer science education.

This honor acknowledges the strides that Syosset High School and the Syosset Central School District have taken to close the gender gap in computer science. Out of the 20,000 institutions that offer AP courses, the High School is one out of 1,119 institutions who achieved 50% or higher in one of the two AP computer science courses offered, and one of the 831 schools recognized in the category of AP Computer Science Principles.

“We are so proud of all our students who will become the next generation of entrepreneurs, engineers and technology leaders,” remarked Syosset High School principal Dr. John Durante. “Their perseverance and dedication in their study of AP Computer Science will empower them to
