Assemblyman Michael Durso (Massapequa Park) and Assemblyman Jarett Gandolfo (Sayville), in coordination with The Emily Meyer Foundation, are holding a toy drive to bring holiday cheer to sick children in the hospital.

From now until Monday, December 20, 2021, they will be collecting new, unwrapped toys at their district offices to be delivered to local hospitals.

Emily Meyer, a local teen and founder of The Emily Meyer Foundation, was inspired to start a toy drive eleven years ago at the age of five after being hospitalized on Christmas and receiving a toy by a Child Life volunteer to help comfort her. She then decided to pay it forward and donate toys to a local hospital to bring smiles to ill children.

Today, Emily has collected and donated over 12,000 toys to hospitalized children

Youth of Ethical Societies (YES) is collecting children’s coats (used and new) until December 22 to be distributed to children in need through Ethical Friends of Children (EFOC), a volunteer program that has been providing clothing and children’s furniture to Long Island families for 36 years.

Student-Artists Liven Up Massapequa Classroom The artistic talents of two Massapequa High School students have left a social studies classroom a little more colorful.

Juniors Juliana Cole and

Lily DiBendetto recently competed a mural that celebrates the history of the United States and New York.

Social studies teacher

Robert Vath reached out to art teacher Julie Thornton about adding a mural to his classroom.

Juliana came up with the concept, which included

an American flag as well as a scene of the Brooklyn Bridge, One World Trade Center and other New York City skyscrapers at sunset.

Then, she and Lily got to

work, painting it around the door inside the room They worked during their lunch periods and afterschool to complete the floor-toceiling masterpiece, which

spans more than 12 feet in length.

Juliana is a student in the drawing and painting class, and Lily is taking computer art and design this year.

This Coming March, Woodloch Pines Resort Invites Guests To Celebrate The “Yay In The Everyday” With Authors Meaghan Murphy And Dana Pollack After the holiday season screeches to a halt and the ball drops on the New Year, it is not uncommon for the winter doldrums to set in.

The first few months of the year can seem downright dull. Cue Woodloch Pines, an all-inclusive resort located in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains that always finds reason to celebrate. Those looking for a much-needed, seasonal pick-me-up can find exactly that in Woodloch’s first-ever “Fully Charged and Delicious” Authors’ Weekend set for March 4-6, 2022. Celebrated authors and on-air personalities, Meaghan Murphy and Dana Pollack, will host a weekend jam-packed with fun that will not only help guests beat those winter blues but also leave them bursting at the seams with energy.

Meaghan Murphy serves as Editor-in-Chief of

Woman’s Day and recently released her new book, Your Fully Charged Life, “a practical guide to bringing your best self to every moment, even when the pressures of daily life leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and wallowing in negative thoughts . . . this book reveals small changes in outlook and habits that yield big results, without ever sacrificing who you are.”

Murphy is a frequent guest expert on the talk show circuit, making regular appearances on nationallybroadcast television shows such as Live with Kelly & Ryan and Today.

Accomplished pastry chef and entrepreneur, Dana Pollack, is the creative force behind Dana’s Bakery, famous for its “traditional French macaron with an authentic American twist.” Originally established in northern

DANA POLLACK New Jersey in 2012, Dana’s Bakery has become one of the first-ever, exclusively online bakeries shipping to thousands of customers nationwide and offering a wide array of virtual baking classes -- all with the goal of making delicious macarons accessible to everyone. In her new book, The Dana’s

Food Drive Fulfills Kindness Club’s Mission

The Kindness Club at Birch Lane Elementary School in the Massapequa School District has a wide reach in its desire to spread goodwill. For Thanksgiving, the club hosted a food drive to benefit families throughout Long Island.

Large bins were placed in the lobby during the week of Nov. 16-20, and each grade was assigned

different items to bring in to ensure that everyone would receive all the necessary components of a Thanksgiving meal. After school, Kindness Club members filled large paper bags with canned fruits and vegetables, cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed potatoes, pie filling, stuffing and more.

Before the bags were filled, they were decorated

with pictures and Thanksgiving messages by students in Kim Kelly’s, Lauren Marocchi’s and Victoria Nemes’ classes.

Heather Comparetto, Birch Lane’s occupational therapist, then delivered all of the food packages to Long Island Cares, which runs the Harry Chapin Food Bank.

Bakery Cookbook, “Dana never fails to take classic, crave-able desserts to a whole new level― including her Mookies ™ (a macaron baked inside a cookie) that people line up to try. Now, you can make them―and 99 other incredible desserts from Dana’s collection―in the comfort of your own kitchen.”

Woodloch’s “Fully Charged and Delicious” Authors’ Weekend promises guests a welldeserved break from the norm as well as an opportunity to feel energized and revitalized, all while enjoying some delectable desserts.

Featured activities include: Family Olympics – Grab your team and join in the spirited family-friendly competition that have guests going to head to head with the authors in a feat for the gold.

Nailed It Cake Wars – A bakery decorating contest judged by Dana Pollack herself

Horseracing – Let Meaghan and Dana serve as your jockeys as you root on your favorite horse.

Meet and Greet with the authors – Get inspired while enjoying a panel discussion by Meaghan and Dana.

Longtime winter favorites such as snow tubing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and ice skating Some of the family resort’s most popular amenities including a zipline and climbing wall, go-karts, bumper cars, game shows and trivia, a Broadway-style theme show, and the Indoor Pool Complex complete with slide and splash zone.

Woodloch’s Activities Director, Joey Ranner, remarks, “We could all use some fully charged fun in our lives, possibly now more than ever. And that’s exactly what this weekend will provide thanks to the help of Meaghan and Dana.

We’re very excited that they’ll be here to lead in

the Woodloch fun and to give our guests a brandnew experience!”

“Fully Charged and Delicious “Authors’ Weekend rates start at $233 per adult, per night. To obtain more information or to book a stay, please visit Woodloch’s website, or call 1-800-Woodloch.

Millions of adult children will be visiting their parents during the holidays. For some, their last visit home may have been months ago and for others, routine visits might be common.

Health experts advise that while visiting, in addition to enjoying the holiday’s many fun filled traditions, it’s important that children also take time to consider their aging parents’ health needs at home.

“Long Island has a rapidly growing senior population, but very few have homes that are safe for them to live in,” said Daniel Elliot, a Certified Aging in Place Professional and Licensed Occupational Therapist with Jukebox Health, a leading Tri-State healthcare company that works with families and seniors to develop home solutions for optimal independent living.

“Knowing that most seniors want to remain living in their own homes as they age, it’s important that their homes be safe for them to live in. Caring for your parents’ health needs to start at home.”

Was mom recently hospitalized and now feeling somewhat weaker?

Did dad have a recent fall?

These are some of the

questions to ask yourself when visiting your parents this holiday, according to Elliot. “Take a walk around the house to see how the lighting is in each room, especially those without windows like a basement, a stairwell or a closet. Are grab bars now needed in the bathroom or beside the bed to help dad stand up?” asserts Elliot.

“In addition to considering assisted living communities and nursing homes, families should also consider aging in place at home as a viable option for their senior family members,” continued Elliot. “Thankfully many products and services exist today to help seniors live safely at home, without compromising their home aesthetic.”

Jukebox Health offers personalized home safety assessments performed by certified aging in place professionals that include clinically driven home safety recommendations.

Families work with Jukebox to design and install the home modifications, working with local licensed contractors.

Examples of modifications recommended in an assessment might include: • Improved lighting

• Smart technology • Grab bars that come in decorative finishes • Anti-slip mats • Wheelchair accessible tabletops and countertops entries, • Accessible exits and stairwells with handrails • Zero step entries into showers • Extra tall or powered toilet seats • Bed rails that come in decorative finishes Other behaviors to be observant of when visiting your parents include paying attention to their use of the various rooms in the house. Daniel Elliot explains, “Many times we see an avoidance of certain rooms used at home which usually signals an issue but can easily be remedied, restoring their freedom and full use of the house.”

“There is a large emotional dimension to aging in place. Seniors want choices about how and where they age” continued Elliot.

“Remaining in their homes provides independence and familiarity, which many times, leads to living a longer, happier life.” For more information on Jukebox Health, visit their website at https://www. jukeboxhealth.com/.

prepare for the puppy’s arrival.

2. Wait too long to start looking if you know this is something you and your family want for the holidays.

3. Try and cut costs.

Healthy, well-bred puppies can be expensive. If you see something that seems too good to be true, it probably is.

4. Expect a puppy to arrive fully-trained and well-behaved. Puppies can be mischievous and require a lot of time and attention.

Do: 1. Leave plenty of time for the entire process, you don’t want to rush selecting the right pup for you.

2. Realize your puppy may not arrive at the exact moment you had hoped for.

These are living, breathing animals that require stops and care along their journey. They are not a warehouse package.

3. Plan to be home for the

holidays to acclimate your puppy. Be sure to consider what happens when the holiday excitement dies down. Puppies need a great deal of attention, especially during their first year.

4. Use reputable services, like PuppySpot, which is authorized by the American Kennel Club and has its own independent scientific advisory board that collaborates with the USDA to ensure all national standards are exceeded.

To learn more about PuppySpot and its promise to connect the nation’s top breeders to caring, responsible pet owners, visit www.puppyspot.com.

While there is perhaps no more joyful holiday surprise than a puppy, this is one gift that should never be given lightly.

By weighing the decision carefully, you can ensure that a puppy’s new home is their fur-ever home.

To address food insecurity during the upcoming holiday season, NICE Bus (Nassau InterCounty Express) has donated more than $14,000 in food and cash to Island Harvest, Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization.

At the conclusion of a two-week campaign prior to the Bethpage Annual Turkey Drive which supports Island Harvest, NICE delivered 10 pallets of canned and dried goods – more than 5,000 items which is the equivalent of 37 full shopping carts – donated by NICE employees as well as NICE Bus riders through collection boxes at its Garden City center and the Hempstead Transit Center.

Additionally, $6,000 in cash was donated by NICE’s 850 employees and $1,000 worth of frozen

turkeys was provided as a contribution from NICE. “NICE Bus and its employees are dedicated to supporting the residents of Nassau County in ways which go beyond just providing reliable and affordable transportation,” noted Jack Khzouz, NICE Bus CEO. “Our employees are keenly aware of the struggles some of our neighbors face in feeding their families and they have been supporting the annual Island Harvest drive since we began providing service to Nassau County in 2012.”

“We are grateful for the generosity and efforts by our longtime partner NICE Bus in collecting muchneeded food and funds to help our neighbors across Nassau County who are struggling just to put food on their tables,” said Randi Shubin Dresner,

President & CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “It is partnerships like these that allow us to continue to provide food support and vital services to the most vulnerable among us.”

Serving more than 50,000 riders weekly and covering 1 million miles of service every month, NICE Bus promotes and provides annual support to a number of programs meeting the needs of Nassau County residents, including the Breast Cancer Awareness, the United Way’s Project Warmth program, and Everyone Rides NICE (in which NICE donates MetroCards to social service agencies). In addition, NICE Bus provides free transportation to athletes and their families during the annual 3-day Nassau County Games for the Physically Challenged.

NICE SUPPORTING THE NASSAU COMMUNITY - NICE Bus (Nassau InterCounty Express), its 850 employees and its riders recently donated 10 palates worth of canned or dried foods -- along with $1,000 worth of frozen turkeys and $6,000 collected from employees -- to the Island Harvest Annual Bethpage Turkey Drive.

(StatePoint) Thinking of surprising a friend or family member with a puppy this holiday season?

“Before gifting someone with a commitment that lasts well beyond the holidays, make sure you’ve made your list and checked it twice,” says Claire Komorowski, chief executive officer of PuppySpot, a USDAlicensed company whose mission is to make lives better by placing healthy puppies into happy homes.

Having introduced over 200,000 puppies to loving homes, PuppySpot encourages potential dog owners to make responsible decisions this holiday season and are offering the following Do’s and Don’ts to help: Don’t: 1.

Surprise your friend, partner or spouse unless they’ve openly communicated that they’re ready to take on the commitment and can

Labriola And Maier Urge Residents To Donate Blood To help hospitals meet the ongoing and pressing need for blood, Oyster Bay Town Councilman Steve Labriola and Town Councilwoman Laura Maier invite residents to attend a Blood Collection Drive on Monday, December 20th from 1pm to 7pm at the Hicksville Athletic Center, located at 167 S. Broadway in Hicksville.

Councilman Labriola stated, “This holiday season, I am urging residents to give a little extra and donate blood that can save lives. Blood supplies have seriously dwindled as a result of the 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 to help bolster our blood banks and ensure as many people as possible can be helped.”

Appointments are preferred for the Town’s Blood Drive.

To qualify as a donor, a person must be 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 donors eat well (low fat) and drink fluids in the days before the Blood Drive.

Additionally, all donors will receive a voucher for a free Blizzard at Dairy Queen, compliments

of Councilwoman Laura Maier.

Councilwoman Maier added, “It’s quick, easy, and safe to donate a single pint of blood which can save up to three lives. Donating blood at the Hicksville Athletic Center, is an incredible way for all of us to pitch in and give back, to help ease the burden of our Healthcare Heroes as they continue to provide lifesaving efforts.”

For additional information regarding the Town’s Blood Drive, contact the Town’s Public Information Office at (516) 624-6380. To make an appointment to donate at this Blood Drive, sign up today at https://donate. nybc.org/donor/ schedules/drive_ schedule/284318.

North Shore Animal League America is reducing adoption fees for all felines older than six months throughout December at Bianca’s Furry Friends Feline Adoption Center (BFF) at their Port Washington, NY campus.

Reduced adoption fees still include examinations, vaccinations, and spaying or neutering.

Adoption Fees for Felines 6 Months Old – 4 Years Old: 50% Off Adoption Fees for Felines Over 4 Years Old: No Fee This offer is valid for approved adopters only. Donations are appreciated. Younger cats and kittens are also available.

There are many benefits to adopting a “catten” (young

felines no longer kittens but not yet adults) or even an older or senior cat.

They’re litter-trained, their personalities are developed, and they’ve been socialized. The more felines adopted into responsible, loving homes the more space available for newly rescued cats and kittens.

Families hoping to add a pet to the household during the holiday season are encouraged to visit the Adoption Centers together where an Adoption Counselor can help them find appointments are the animal that best necessary. fits their lifestyle.

2021 Holiday Hours North Shore Animal are as follows: League America’s Friday, December 24 Adoption Centers are Christmas Eve open seven days a 10:00am - 6:00pm week from 10:00am Saturday, December until 6:00pm.

No

25 Christmas Day Closed Friday, December 31 New Year’s Eve 10:00am – 6:00pm Saturday, January 1 New Year’s Day 12:00pm – 5:00pm

Councilwoman Walsh Cautions Residents Not To Fall Victim To Holiday Scams

Town of Oyster Bay Councilwoman Vicki Walsh cautions residents to be on alert of potential telephone and internet scams this Holiday Season, particularly those soliciting any personal information or monetary contribution.

“Time and time again we hear about scammers trying to obtain sensitive information from unsuspecting residents, especially our senior citizens,” said Councilwoman Walsh.

“Whether on the phone or online, scammers often pose as officials from the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration or

other well-known agency in an attempt to intimidate the recipient.”

The Councilwoman noted that many times, their return phone numbers can also be falsified to appear as a familiar number. In addition to seniors, others frequently targeted include students and first-generation Americans. Current common scams include offers of debt relief, car warranty extensions, and credit repairs. Scammers have also been known to pose as family members allegedly in trouble and seeking money.

“The last thing families need, especially during these uncertain

times, is someone trying to scam them out of their hardearned money,” said Councilwoman Walsh. “We alert all residents to be wary of any unsolicited phone calls and websites that appear suspicious, especially those requesting money or personal information, even if they claim to be from a government or bank entity.”

You can take these proactive steps to ensure you and your family aren’t scam victims: If you receive a call from a number you do not recognize, do not answer the phone. If you do, hang up the phone immediately.

Don’t press numbers to speak to a live

operator or take your number off the list, as this just confirms your phone number.

Ask your phone company whether they charge for blocking phone numbers.

Don’t trust your caller ID. Scammers use the internet to make calls all over the world.

Don’t click on any suspicious links or attachments in emails and on websites.

Ensure all of your online shopping is from reputable businesses.

Report your experience to the FTC online or by calling (877) 382-4357. Visit www.ftc.gov/calls for more information.
