Runner Jasmine Parreno Lets Nothing Stand In Her Way

By Natalie Almeida

Jasmine Parreno was an avid runner, and it was a huge part of her day-to-day life. Unfortunately, this passion of hers came under fire when she was diagnosed with COVID-19 in 2021.

She battled a serious case of double pneumonia and both her lungs became severely damaged as a result. It was in those moments where she truly questioned if she would ever get the chance to run again. Persistent long haulers proceeded to present its symptoms with acute respiratory failure. Still, slowly but surely, she began to recooperate and has since recovered– despite some mild symptoms.

According to Jasmine, it was time for her to get back on her feet. She decided to challenge herself and hit the pavement once again. She ran her first 5K with OG Training Academy in Lindenhurst.

She hopes that her story would serve as a means to spread motivation and hope to those that are struggling with any illness, whether it be mentally or physically. “Do not let an illness, of any kind, convince you that something is impossible,” Jasmine said. “It doesn’t mean that it will be easy, but definitely worth trying!”

Currently, Jasmine has signed up for her first Sprint Triathalon with New York Triathalon at Rockaway Beach and will continue her running career, letting nothing stand in her way!

Slow And Steady Wins The Race In Business

By JoAnn Cilla

Most people know the story about the race between the turtle and rabbit. The rabbit is much faster than the turtle, but he gets a little too confident and careless, and ultimately loses to the much slower turtle. My takeaway from that story has always been, “slow and steady wins the race; don’t be the careless rabbit.”

I use the same takeaway in business, and tell everyone who asks for business advice, “it’s better to be the steady turtle than the careless rabbit.”

Running a business today can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. Many business owners I meet will do everything they can to make their business a success, but they shouldn’t overextend themselves in the process. This is particularly true when it comes to finances.

One of the keys to achieving financial stability as a business owner is to regularly review monthly expenses. Doing so can help identify areas where expenses can be cut as well as areas that are generating a positive return for your business (invest more in those areas).

In addition to reviewing your expenses, it’s critical to have reserves (and not just access to credit cards or lines of credit). We never know when the next

downturn may happen or when an emergency expense may occur. If you have 3-6 months’ worth of reserves, you can avoid dipping into personal savings or taking on debt to keep your business afloat.

Don’t worry if you don’t have the reserves in a bank account today; this is where the slow and steady part comes into play. Make regular deposits into a savings account each month; before too long, you will have one month’s worth of reserves, then two months, then it’s six months. The key is to start doing it TODAY!

Having your financial matters in order, namely expenses and reserves, will allow you to spend more time focusing on your customers and employees. If you can give both groups the attention they deserve, you will almost certainly win the race!

Did You Know?

Supporting small businesses ensures more money stays in the communities those businesses serve. The U.S. Small Business Administration says $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. On the flip side, when a person spends $100 at a big-box store or

a national chain, only $14 remains in the community.

Local businesses are more likely to utilize other local businesses, such as banks, service providers and even farms. Small businesses also pay employees, many of whom are local and shop local, thereby keeping even more dollars in their communities.

LaLota Announces Hundreds Of Defense Jobs Coming To Suffolk County

Rep. Nick LaLota (NY-01) announced that hundreds of new jobs would be coming to Suffolk County after Raytheon Technologies Corporation was awarded a contract by the federal

government totaling $113,628,201. The contract will cover costs for Raytheon to develop MK 15 closein weapon system (CIWS) upgrades and conversions, system overhauls, and

associated hardware. One of the manufacturing facilities Raytheon will use for this contract is located in Hauppauge, N.Y.

“I am thrilled that hundreds of high-paying defense manufacturing jobs will be coming to Suffolk County. As the son of a former Grumman Secretary and a Navy Veteran, I understand how important the defense industrial base is to local families and Long Island’s economy,” said LaLota. “Now, as a Member of the House Armed Services Committee, I understand the strategic role Long Island’s defense manufacturing base plays in ensuring America’s military can deter the next conflict, or if needed, win it. I will always work to make sure that Suffolk County maintains our important role in our nation’s defense.”

Tom Donnelly’s Pet Food Drive For Baxter’s Pet Pantry Of LI

BSA Troop 399 Visited Historical Sites In Philadelphia

On the weekend of April 1st, BSA Troop 399 visited historical sites in Philadelphia. The troop learned about the history of the United States by touring museums and sites of historical significance such as the National Constitution Center, the Independence National Historic Park, the Liberty Bell Center, and others. The youth led an historical walking tour that included the site of Ben Franklin’s Philadelphia home. Attendees had an opportunity to see the room where the Declaration of Independence and the

Constitution were signed by the founding fathers at Independence Hall and learn about these momentous events from a knowledgeable park ranger. The trip culminated in a hike through Valley Forge Historical National Park, George Washington’s Continental Army winter encampment, 1777-1778, where youth and parents went inside the dwellings of revolutionary soldiers, stood under the National Arch, and visited other notable sites.

Boy Scout Troop histor399 is a Boy Scout Troop based in North

Babylon, NY, and a member of the Sagtikos District of the Boy Scouts of America’s Suffolk County Council. Troop 399 is sponsored by the North Babylon Lions Club. Originally chartered in 1975, Troop 399 has offered scouting opportunities and taught boys to become leaders and serve their community for over 40 years. Meetings are held most Thursday evenings at 7:30 PM during the school year. For more information, visit Troop 399’s website at: https:// northbabylon399.mytroop. us/home.

Legislator Donnelly’s district office is serving as a drop-off location for the 12th Legislative Pet Food Drive where much-needed pet food and supplies will be collected to benefit Baxter’s Pet Pantry of Long Island Cares (www.licares. org). In previous years, constituents of the 17th Legislative District have

generously donated to this annual drive.

All donations go directly to Baxter’s Pantry. While 5 and 10 pound bags of dog and cat food, canned food, kitty litter and new pet toys are most needed, all pet nourishments are welcome including food for hamsters, fish, birds and ferrets.

Items may be dropped off at Legislator Donnelly’s District Office, located at 130 West Jericho Turnpike in Huntington Station, Monday through Thursday between the hours of 9 am and 4 pm until May 31. As per health code

requirements, all pet food must be unopened and in original packaging. For more information or to make an appointment to donate outside of these hours, call (631) 854-4433.

“Hard times impact all members of the family, including our animal companions,” said Legislator Donnelly. “Families shouldn’t have to decide between feeding themselves and feeding their beloved pets. I am happy to partner with Long Island cares again on this important and much needed cause.”

Supporting small businesses ensures more money stays in the communities those businesses serve. The U.S. Small Business Administration says $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. On the flip side, when a person spends $100 at a bigbox store or a national

chain, only $14 remains in the community. Local businesses are more likely to utilize other local businesses, such as banks, service providers and even farms. Small businesses also pay employees, many of whom are local and shop local, thereby keeping even more dollars in their communities.

New York State Assemblyman Michael Durso, in partnership with Town of Babylon Councilman Terence McSweeney, Suffolk County Legislator Kevin McCaffrey, Village of Babylon Mayor Mary Adams, and Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, will be holding a free Narcan Training on Thursday, May 4, 2023 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Babylon Village HallBoard Room, 153 W Main

Free Narcan Training

Street, Babylon. A trained specialist from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s office will discuss signs of an opiate overdose, overdose risk factors, recognizing and responding to an overdose, and the administration of Naloxone (Narcan). Each registered participant will receive a free Narcan kit at the completion of the training.

Registration is required. To reserve your seat, please call Assemblyman Durso’s office at 516-541-

4598.

“We encourage all community members to attend this free, lifesaving program,” said Assemblyman Durso.

“With record high overdose deaths occurring last year from Fentanyl and other opioids, it’s crucial that everyone knows how to recognize an overdose and safely administer Narcan. Lives are depending on it.”

“We’ve seen in recent years that Narcan is the

quickest way to restore normal breathing and save the life of a person who is overdosing on opioids,” said Babylon Town Councilman Terence McSweeney. “Narcan can be administered by anyone who is properly trained to do so, and with the recent rise in overdoses, it is imperative that we educate the public so we can all aid our first responders in saving lives,” he added.
