CSHL & Aboff’s Paints
Announce Paint & Donate Campaign
This October, supporting breast cancer research is as easy as buying paint. Throughout the month, for every gallon of premium paint sold at Aboff’s Paint stores and online at aboffs.com, the company will generously donate a portion of the proceeds to support breast cancer research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL).
The original Aboff’s Paints Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign raised over $10,000 for CSHL breast cancer research in 2012. In 2023, the two Long Island institutions renewed their partnership and raised over $40,000.
“Breast cancer awareness is near and dear to all of us here at Aboff’s,” said Aboff’s Paints owner and CSHL Corporate Advisory Board member Matthew Aboff. “We are delighted to renew our partnership with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for October 2024 and hope to make
this year’s campaign our most successful yet.”
Family-owned and operated, Aboff’s Paints has been proudly serving Long Island and the New York region for 95 years. The knowledgeable team of paint experts leverage decades of experience, and with 32 convenient locations across Long Island, they’re on hand to accommodate any residential, commercial, or industrial painting project.

Seaford Pride On Full Display At Sunny Homecoming
On the last Saturday before the calendar officially flipped to fall, the Seaford community enjoyed a perfect late summer day for the annual homecoming celebration. The Sept. 21 event was filled with Viking pride.
The homecoming parade traveled up Washington Avenue and then along Keily Drive to its intended destination of Seaford High School. Nassau County police cars and
Seaford fire trucks led the parade, followed by the marching band, board of education trustees and administrators, class, club and school banners, youth sports leagues and cheerleaders.
As the varsity football team warmed up on the field for their second game of the season, a match against Cold Spring Harbor, students, staff, parents and community members milled around Viking way.
It was the first homecoming where spectators could grab a bite to each from the brand new concession stand.
After a brief retreat to the locker room, the Vikings stormed onto the field under a green and white balloon arch. Following the singing of the national anthem by student vocalists, the community paid tribute to late Town of Hempstead Councilman and Seaford parent Christopher Carini.
Superintendent Dr. Adele Pecora noted that he was a staunch supporter of children and champion for both the schools and the community. Board of Education President Lisa Herbert noted Mr. Carini’s passion for helping people and tireless work to improve the quality of life for all residents. His wife, Danielle, was presented with flowers from the district and the Booster Club.
The Seaford High School dance team performed a quick routine between the first and second quarters.
At halftime, the varsity, junior varsity and middle school cheerleaders did a routine together before a solo moment for the varsity squad. The marching band’s show, “Now That’s What I Call Seaford,” delighted the crowd with its highenergy music and dancing along with brightly colored outfits.
The senior class was announced as the winner of spirit week, which featured five days of themed dress-up days. Before the second half of the game could resume, one last order of business took place – naming of the homecoming king and queen. Joseph Sanfilippo and Anastasia Perlegis were crowned, as Kyle Britton, Dylan Brown, Emma Masie and Skyler Secondino rounded out the court.

Town Seeks Volunteers To Assist In Shell Recycling At Oyster Festival
Oyster Bay Town
Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele Johnson invite residents looking to help the environment and preserve our waterways to take part in the Town’s shell recycling initiative at the upcoming Oyster Festival, taking place Saturday and Sunday, October 19th and 20th in Oyster Bay.
“We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to be a vital part of our environmental mission to help protect our harbor and improve our waterways,” explained Supervisor Saladino. “As a Shell Collection Station Attendant, volunteers will contribute their time to help divert oyster and clam shells from landfills, which will instead be recycled and used for habitat restoration and growing new oysters.”
Volunteers at this year’s festival will be asked to
commit to working in three-hour shifts. Available time slots will be from 10am through 7pm on both Saturday, October 19th and Sunday, October 20th. Responsibilities will include identifying oyster and clam shells, overseeing a shell collection station with separate bins for general trash and for shells, guiding festival goers in correctly sorting their waste, and answering questions about the shell recycling program and educating attendees about its environmental benefits. Those interested in participating will be asked to participate in a zoom session to become familiar with the program and will receive giveaways including a t-shirt, as well as community service hours for their participation.
Town officials, including Receiver Jeff Pravato, Town Clerk Rich LaMarca, Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Vicki Walsh, Councilwoman Laura Maier and Councilwoman Michele Johnson, show a sampling of the more than three tons of oyster shells collected at last year’s Oyster Festival, which are recycled back into the waterways to improve water quality and help with growth of new shellfish.
“This wonderful initiative helps us restore the populations in our harbor while improving water quality,” said Councilwoman Johnson. “After the festival, the shells are transported by Town aqua-culturists to a curing facility, where they remain for several months prior to being strategically returned to the harbor to assist in the growth of new shellfish. This great program not only helps ensure the shells don’t go to waste, they provide an excellent source of habitat for young shellfish to grow and mature, offering protection from weather conditions and predators.”
Anyone interested in volunteering for the shellfish recycling program can contact the Department of Environmental Resources at (516) 677-5943 or by emailing Environmental @oysterbay-ny.gov. For more information about the program, visit www. oysterbaytown.com/ shellrecycling.

to deposit the remaining half million of the roughly 6 million clam and oyster seedlings that the Town planted into Oyster Bay throughout 2024. The Town grows out the seedlings at its Shellfish Hatchery until they mature enough to be transferred into FLUPSY locations and grow-out areas where they
can fully mature.
“Oyster Bay Harbor is one of the crown jewels of Oyster Bay, and we are proud to be doing more than ever before to improve its water quality,” said Supervisor Saladino.
“Programs like these help bolster the local economy while improving water quality. These efforts help preserve the natural beauty of our local waterways for generations to come.”
Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Lou Imbroto, Town Clerk Rich LaMarca and Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato joined with members of the Town Environmental team to seed the remainder of 6 million oyster and clam seedlings deposited into Oyster Bay Harbor throughout 2024.

Making Fall Foliage Trips More Enjoyable
Millions of people each year look forward to the magnificent colors on display in autumn. Fall offers irreplaceable views, whether you’re atop a mountain ridge or thick in the folds of a forest. In addition, the crackle of leaves underfoot and the earthy smell of the soil tempts the senses even more. Some advance planning can help make fall foliage trips that much more enjoyable and aweinspiring.
PEAK VIEWING TIMES
PICK YOUR DESTINATION
Anywhere with deciduous trees provides the opportunity to witness blazing autumn color. During leaf-peeping season, travelers can go coast to coast and see awesome vistas. Some regions are particularly known for their leaf displays. New York’s Catskill and Adirondack regions are prime spots for visitors in the autumn. The travel resource Frommer’s
Areas of the northernmost latitude will start to show color earlier than more southern areas. Generally, the leafviewing season begins in late September and runs through early November for much of North America. Peak times for viewing depend on areas of travel and time of year. The Weather Channel offers maps and charts at www. weather.com/maps/fallfoliage for tpeak times for many areas of the U.S.
offers more leaf-peeping locales to visit.
PACK THE RIGHT GEAR
While most people are not without a smartphone that can capture amazing high-resolution imagery, serious leaf photographers may want to take out their prized camera equipment for leafpeeping excursions. Also bring along a map or a GPS-enabled device so you can explore back roads and areas off the beaten path more readily. There are plenty of apps that can help with foliage-finding adventures, so a phone is a handy tool. When packing, also bring along hiking boots, comfortable layered clothing and anything for an afternoon in the great outdoors.

As the days become shorter and the weather cools down, a new crop of allergy symptoms can arise, turning the autumn season into one marked by sneezing, scratchy throats and itchy eyes. Medications can alleviate such symptoms, but allergy sufferers may want to investigate some natural ways to beat allergies. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, ragweed is one of the more common triggers of autumnal allergies. Ragweed contributes to “hay fever,” which is a term to describe allergic rhinitis that occurs as a symptom of ragweed pollen in the air. Ragweed releases pollen in midAugust, and it can continue to be problematic until a deep freeze arrives. Other sources of fall allergies include leaf mold and pollen that is present on fallen leaves. This gets circulated when people begin to
Natural Ways To Fight Fall Allergies
rake or blow fallen leaves.
Classroom pets and chalk dust in schools (although chalkboards are largely a thing of the past) are other autumn allergens.
The good news is that many natural remedies work just as effectively as overthe-counter medications in regard to combatting ragweed and pollen problems. Here’s how to beat the fall allergy blues.
• Stay Away From Pollen. Stay away from pollen and prevent it from being tracked indoors. Remove shoes when walking through the door. Take off clothes worn outside and launder them promptly, showering to wash pollen off of the body. Use an air conditioner or keep windows closed when the pollen count is high.
• Increase Omega-3 Fatty Acids. It is well
documented that fatty acids are good for brain health and cardiovascular wellbeing, but these acids also may help with allergies. A German study linked foods high in omega-3 fatty acids with the ability to fight inflammation, which is a hallmark of allergy suffering. Foods that are high in fatty acids include walnuts, flax, eggs, and cold-water fatty fish.
• Rinse Off Pollen. Use a mild cleanser to rinse the eyelids and eyelashes of pollen, as this is where it tends to congregate after being outdoors. Use saline spray to clear nasal passages of excess pollen as well.
• Use Eucalyptus Oil. This oil is great to have in the house to help clear up sinuses and provide nasal congestion relief. Mix a small amount with coconut oil and rub onto the chest. There also is some evidence that adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to cleansing products can help kill dust mites around the house.
• Wear A Mask. When doing housework or yard work, wear a mask to reduce the inhalation of specific allergens.
• Take Natural Supplements. A study published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy found participants who used tablets of the herb butterbar showed significant allergy relief after only one week. Select herbs from reputable manufacturers who certify them.

“Cancer Facts and Figures:
• In 2024, 19,160 women in New York will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast Cancer affects men too.
• There are more than 4 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. today, including those who have completed treatment and those still undergoing treatment. More than 150,000 of these survivors are living with metastatic breast cancer.
• The death rate from breast cancer dropped by 42% from 1989-2021 as a result of earlier detection through increased awareness and mammography screening, as well as advances in treatments.
o Despite this drop, Black women are 41% more likely to die of breast cancer than White women overall and are twice as likely to die if they are younger than age 50.
o Breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer
in deaths among Black women (6,800 deaths in 2022)
• Since 1993, the American Cancer Society has invested more than $600 million in breast cancer research.
