Saladino And Town Board
To Collect DVDs For U.S. Troops & Children’s Hospitals
Oyster Bay Town
Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board announced a partnership with Massapequa-based “Big Hy for Heroes” to collect DVDs for those deployed and serving overseas in the United States Armed Forces, as well as movies for children’s hospitals. Donations will be accepted during the month of November and then delivered to Chaplains, Commanding Officers, Sergeant Majors and Sergeants around the globe to distribute to troops and arrange movie nights this holiday season.
Supervisor Saladino stated, “The Town of Oyster
Bay is proud to partner with Big Hy for Heroes for our Annual DVD Collection Drive and send thousands of DVDs to troops serving around the globe as well as to children receiving care in local hospitals. Help support these brave men, women and children by donating DVDs.”
The Big Hy for Heroes organization was founded in 2002 by Massapequa resident and WWII veteran Hyman Strachman who, along with his son Arthur Strachman, personally began sending DVDs to U.S. troops overseas. Over the years, Big Hy for Heroes has shipped hundreds of thousands of
DVDs all around the world and continues to do so today.
Exciting, suspenseful, comedy and classic DVDs are among the most requested by the troops for movie nights. Children’s movies are needed for local hospitals. Residents can donate DVDs at any of the following locations, weekdays from 9am to 4:45pm:
Town Hall North – 54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay Town Hall South – 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa

Gestures anyone can embrace in support of veterans
Include foods and comforts from home.
· Buy from veterans. Seek out veteran-owned businesses in the area, and then make purchases from their retail stores or utilize their services.
· Ask a veteran to speak. If you work in a school or a community center, ask veterans to share their experiences with area youth.
Veterans Day is Novemeber 11. Community-wide events tend to be held on that day, but any day of the year is a good time to pay respect to veterans. On a local level, people can do much to thank veterans for their service and sacrifice.
· Provide a free restaurant meal. Offer to take out a veteran for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you see a veteran eating in a restaurant, anonymously pay the bill for that person.
· Volunteer at a VA hospital. Spend time with veterans where they receive care for current health needs or past injuries suffered in combat.
· Participate in a parade. If your town hosts a Veterans Day parade, find out how you can volunteer or be a part of it. Oftentimes parade officials enable youth groups, such as high school marching bands or scouting troops, to participate in the parade.
· Visit local memorials. Spend time visiting memorials nearby and paying homage to the veterans who devoted their time, or even their lives, to service.
· Send care packages. Communities can gather resources and chip in to make care packages for veterans who live in town, and even to send to troops stationed elsewhere.
· Write to a publication. Write an op-ed or highlight piece to submit to a local newspaper about veterans in the community. Mention local veterans who have unique stories, or speak about the importance of veterans to the community.
Seaford’s Stage Stars To Perform Peter Pan Prequel
After the success of last year’s inaugural drama, Seaford High School thespians will be back on stage this fall, this time with “Peter and the Starcatcher.”
The show is a prequel to “Peter Pan” that explains several storylines such as how Peter Pan learned to fly and how Black Stache
became Captain Hook. It features an ensemble cast of 14 student-actors from grades 9-12, plus four understudies, and many of the actors portray multiple characters. Senior Dylan Malone stars as Peter Pan, Olivia Irwin plays Molly and Emily Salcé is Black Stache.
“Being Peter Pan is
pretty awesome,” Dylan said, who made his stage debut in “Clue” last year. “It’s a chance to express yourself and a chance to make people laugh.”
Olivia, appearing in her fourth Seaford show including musicals, added that the strength of the show will be a “very strong cast.”
cast of “Peter and the Starcatcher” will have three performances of the drama on Nov. 22 and 23 at Seaford High School.
There is a minimal set as the audience will be asked to use their imaginations, just like Peter Pan does.
Director Samantha GatesWeber added that the show is suitable for audiences of all ages.
“It’s a comedy with some heart that the audience will love,” she said. “They will also appreciate the
hard work of the cast, who strongly work together and are committed to their characters with creativity.”
Ms. Gates-Weber is supported by producer Shari Raduazzo.
Show times are Friday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Seaford High School auditorium.
Tickets are $12 for students and $15 for adults and can be purchased online at https://cur8.com/39909/ project/125631. There is also a free open dress rehearsal for senior citizens on Thursday, Nov. 21 at 3 p.m.

Seaford Scholars Share Gratitude For School Board’s Efforts
Seaford School District Board of Education trustees got to hear directly from students just how much their efforts mean during a presentation at the beginning of the Oct. 23 meeting. To mark School Boards Recognition Week, students from each school showcased programs and resources that are the direct result of the board’s planning.
Fifth graders from Seaford Manor Elementary School began by sharing information about their new broadcast club, Manor Morning News. They put together a special edition of the show dedicated to the board of education, which was played at the meeting. Students thanked the trustees for the renovated school library, which includes space for their
studio.
Seaford Harbor shared a photo montage of students enjoying different academic resources, such as early literacy programs and laptops, as well as upgraded facilities including the LIFT room and blacktop area.
Students from the middle school showcased the new computer science program. They used their knowledge of Java Script coding to
make an animated thankyou graphic for the board.
From the high school, students in the CDP program highlighted their farm-to-table program and presented each trustee with a sample of items made from their garden including kale chips and chocolate chip cauliflower cake.
Two students from the Beyond Seaford High School class presented
board members with personalized keychains, part of their Shark Tank entrepreneurial project. The class raised $600 from sales which was donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Students thanked the board for approving the new elective class that provides valuable life skills such as money management and public speaking.
Superintendent Dr. Adele Pecora noted that the five board of education members – President Lisa Herbert, Vice President Trisha Matulewicz and trustees Jimmy Chwe, Heather Umhafer and Melissa Whidden – are volunteers who devote countless hours to making the district better and always put students first.

Bethpage Turkey Drive – The Largest Food Drive On Long Island To Take Place On Friday, November 22
Long Island Businesses And Families Encouraged To Donate Frozen Turkeys And Non-Perishable Food Items As Food Insecurity Increases By More Than 58% On Long Island
The Bethpage Turkey Drive to benefit the Island Harvest Food Bank will take place on Friday, November 22, 2024, from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM at Bethpage’s headquarters located at 899 South Oyster Bay Road in Bethpage. This year marks the 16th anniversary of Long Island’s largest oneday food drive which to date, has donated more than 49,000 turkeys and over 236,000 pounds of food to Island Harvest which helps supply Thanksgiving holiday meals to families in our community.
Long Islanders are asked to donate frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items or cash donations. Bethpage’s Drive Through Donation Lanes will allow residents to remain in their cars while volunteers remove
donations from the vehicles. The donations will go directly to Island Harvest Food Bank, which will help supply Thanksgiving meals to the more than 300,000 food-insecure Long Islanders through its distribution network of over 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, and other feeding programs on Long Island. Non-perishable food items needed include canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice, boxed juices, and shelfstable milk (please, no glass containers).
“Last year’s drive collected a record-breaking 4,425 turkeys, a number that has not be reached since the Bethpage Turkey Drive started in 2008,” said Linda Armyn, President and CEO, Bethpage Federal Credit Union. “We are so thankful for our network of
community support, both businesses and individuals, who continue to donate each year to help families enjoy a warm Thanksgiving meal. Bethpage is committed to doing everything we can to improve the lives of our friends and neighbors on Long Island. This event is special for us each year and more important than ever as the number of food insecure continues to grow.”
According to Feeding America’s 2022 Map the Meal Gap report for Long Island, there are approximately 221,190 people on Long Island who are food insecure, an increase of 58.3% from the 2021 estimate of 139,760 people. In 2022, the estimated number of children living with food insecurity is 44,780, a 63.4% increase from the
estimated 27,580 children living with food insecurity in 2021. For its fiscal year, Island Harvest Food Bank expects to distribute a record 20 million pounds of food to people who are food insecure in Nassau and Suffolk counties, far eclipsing the volume of food it provided during the pandemic.
“Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s enduring partnership has helped make a positive difference in the lives of Long Islanders facing food insecurity,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, President & CEO of Island Harvest Food Bank. “Their support and generosity, along with that of their members and Long Island’s business community, have enabled us to provide holiday-style meals – and hope for our neighbors in need for 16 years.”
Bethpage is once again issuing a Corporate Challenge encouraging local businesses and organizations to donate the largest number of frozen turkeys and non-perishables and then drop off their donations on November 22. To join the challenge, Long Island businesses and
organizations can sign up at https://www.bethpagefcu. com/bethpage-turkey-drivecorporate-challenge/.In its inaugural year in 2023, H2M Architects & Engineers won the challenge by donating 702 turkeys. Bethpage awarded them with an ice cream truck sent to their office for all employees to enjoy.
For those unable to make a donation on November 22, or would rather show their support online, Bethpage is accepting online monetary donations. Every gift of $35 will help support a holiday meal for your Long Island neighbors. Donations can also be made at any Bethpage branch.
Patches will be given to all Girl Scouts who make a donation. Troop leaders can make a donation on behalf of troop members and bring back patches for the entire troop.
Since the first Bethpage Turkey Drive was organized in 2008, hundreds of community volunteers have come out to assist in the collection of more than 49,000 turkeys and over 236,000 pounds of food, which were then given to Long Island families
facing hardship in time for the holidays. About 6,000 individuals receive food assistance from the Island Harvest Food Bank network each week.
Island Harvest Food Bank Island Harvest Food Bank is a leading human services organization whose mission is to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island. We accomplish this through innovative programs and services aimed at enhanced hunger awareness, shortterm case management, nutrition education, outreach and advocacy initiatives, a Workforce Skills Development Institute, our organic farm, and efficient food collection and distribution. Our work directly supports children, families, seniors, and veterans who turn to us in times of crisis and when needed and supports a network of 300 community-based nonprofit organizations. Island Harvest Food Bank is a member of Feeding America®, a nationwide network of food banks leading the effort to solve hunger in the U.S. To learn more, visit www. islandharvest.org.
Volunteers gather at last year’s Bethpage Turkey Drive that collected 4,425 turkeys and non-perishable food to help provide a Thanksgiving meal to those in need.
Galápagos Islands: Special Species
Galápagos Species: Why Birders’ Life Lists May Be Wrong will be presented by Russell Burke, professor of biology at Hofstra University, on November 12 at 7:30 PM. The presentation will be at the Freeport Memorial Library, 144 W. Merrick Road (at S. Ocean Avenue).
The Galápagos Islands are famous for unusual animals and plants. Counting them all requires thinking about what we mean by the term “species.” Photos will provide an opportunity to admire the birds and reptiles of the Galápagos Islands. In discussion, we
will see if we can agree on just what a species is.
This South Shore Audubon Society Meeting is open to the public. For more info on the program or to contact South Shore Audubon Society, go to www.SSAudubon.org.

8 Ways To Honor Veterans
Millions of people make considerable sacrifices to protect the freedoms of their fellow citizens. According to the Pew Research Center and data from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently more than 18 million living veterans in the United States. The 2021 Census counted 461,240 veterans in Canada, according to Veterans Affairs Canada.
The term “veteran” refers to a person who served in the active military, naval, air service, or space service and was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable. In the U.S., there are actually five types of protected veterans, according to the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974. Under VEVRAA, a veteran may be classified as a disabled veteran, recently separated veteran, active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran, or Armed Forces service medal veteran.
Veterans deserve respect and admiration all year long, but also get their own holiday each November. Veterans Day celebrates veterans’ patriotism and willingness to sacrifice and serve. This Veterans Day, people
can consider these eight unique ways to honor the veterans in their community.
1. Attend events. Organize or participate in local Veterans Day celebrations, such as parades and ceremonial events.
2. Get involved with veterans’ affairs. Support veterans by volunteering with organizations that assist them, such as the VA, local veteran’s groups, VA hospitals, or charities dedicated to veteran services.
3. Petition for veteran speakers. Reach out to schools, scout troops or other groups and arrange opportunities for veterans to share their stories and contributions.
Learning about the sacrifices these men and women made can heighten individuals’ appreciation for veterans.
4. Support the families of veterans. Reach out to veterans’ families, who also must make sacrifices and concessions. Anything from shopping, babysitting, doing chores, or making a meal can help the families of veterans.
5. Make a donation. If finances allow, make contributions to reputable charities that provide services for veterans like those that offer mental
health counseling or job placement services. If there isn’t a charity that fits with your vision, begin one.
6. Hire veterans to work. If you are a business owner or hiring manager, consider hiring veterans for open positions at your company. It can be challenging to reenter the workforce after service, so make it known that your firm welcomes veterans.
7. Offer personal acknowledgements. Take the time to speak to veterans and thank them for their service. If possible, when dining out, ask the server if you can pay for the meal of a veteran who also is dining that day.
8. Don’t forget the fallen veterans. Although Memorial Day is designed to honor those who lost their lives through military service, people still can honor the fallen veterans on Veterans Day by sharing stories or placing flags at veteran cemeteries.
Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11, marking an opportunity to express one’s gratitude and support for the scores of veterans who have served honorably.
