Swimmer Melani Quituisaca organized the event with the help of the Bay Shore Rotary Club and RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards). This past summer, she attended a RYLA event in Massachusetts. While at this retreat she learned how to organize her very first community service project with the help of Keep Islip Clean, Bay Shore Beautification Society, and the Bay Shore Rotary Club. Throughout the process she worked hand in hand with Nancy Cochran, Mary Louise Cohen, and Virginia Bull, a Rotarian. Photo taken by Bay Shore High School student Cassandra Silva.

Planning for the show has already begun and with two jet teams performing, two native New Yorkers on the Blue Angels’ team, and a host of other noted pilots on board, this year’s show is going to be spectacular!”

“Bethpage is very proud to be a part of this special air show that has grown to become one of the most beloved air shows in the country,” said Linda Armyn, Senior Vice President, Bethpage Federal Credit Union. “The addition of the Golden Knights, the Royal Canadian Snowbirds, and the F-22 Raptor, leading up to the Blues as the headliner, will make a great show for the fans this year.”

Uplifting Troops All Around The Globe

PHOTO SOURCE: USO Photos strengthening the military – no matter the time or place.”

Here are a few ways the USO brings vital morale and essential services directly to the nation’s military in far-reaching corners of the world: • For military units stationed in distant locations where there is no USO presence, USO2GO packages bridge the gap.

USO2GO kits ensure service members have some of the small comforts of home, such as electronic gaming, sports equipment, board games, movies and personal care items.

In 2020, USO2GO was heavily utilized to support quarantine sites for service members at military installations around the world.

• Service members can be called at a moment’s notice to leave their families and homes to respond to emergency situations – all amidst a global pandemic.

As troops work to save lives in moments of crisis, Mobile USO vehicles provide vital resources, support and comfort.

These units also help serve the National Guard in times of natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, tornados and more. Equipped with food preparation areas, WiFi, TVs, relaxation areas, gaming stations and outdoor activities, these

USO centers on wheels are a welcoming haven for military members in hardto-reach areas.

• Virtual and in-person entertainment reconnects service members to experiences and memories of home. Since April 2020, USO Military Virtual Programming (MVP) entertainment programs have hosted 135 sessions with more than 170 entertainers. MVP events reached 49 countries, including 22 ships at sea and 52 U.S. states and territories.

Attendees engaged with celebrities via live Q&A sessions, performances, one-on-one calls and more than 140 live “look-ins” at military locations.

• The USO Care Package Program provides service members with two different types of care packages: Snack Packs and Toiletry Packs. These care packages give busy troops a needed boost.

In November 2020, the 3 millionth care package since 9/11 was delivered to a service member stationed in East Africa.

Want to express your gratitude to military members in a substantial way? Consider helping the USO give more than thanks by visiting USO. org/MoreThanThanks and joining the conversation using #MoreThanThanks on social media.

SOUTH BAY SHORE - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JANUARY 12, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

(StatePoint) The everevolving mission of the U.S. military means service members are often on the move. As demonstrated by recent events in Afghanistan, Haiti and in the wake of Hurricane Ida, dedicated service members put their lives on the line whenever and wherever they are deployed at home or abroad.

Being activated for relief efforts in a time of desperate need or being stationed in remote locations far away from home can be difficult. Troops sometimes find themselves needing support services provided by the United Service Organizations (USO). To boost morale for American service members all around the globe, the USO is meeting them where they are.

“The heart of our mission is to ensure service members stay strong through connecting them to the things they love and fight for,” says Christopher Plamp, senior vice president of operations, programs, and entertainment at the USO. “When the pandemic prevented us from serving in person as we have done for over our 80-year history, we innovated new ways to virtually foster the spirit of connectedness.

As we look forward to a post-pandemic future, we are proud to continue

Northwell Staff Packs Over 2,000 Holiday Gifts For Youngsters In Need

With holiday music blasting overhead, dozens of Northwell Health employees gathered together for a marathon gift-wrapping session to ensure that school-age children enjoy a happy holiday season.

“I am so proud of each Northwell employee and all of our community partners who made this joyful event possible,” said Edward Fraser, vice president of Community Relations at Northwell. “Today, literally hundreds of our team members joined together to wrap thousands of gifts for children in the communities we serve. It is our belief that no child

should be denied the gift of joy at the holidays.”

Through an on-line platform operated by Northwell’s nonprofit project partner, Supplies for Success, employee donations were used to provide art supplies and other gifts for different age categories. No contribution was too great or too small. And, the results are impressive: more than $40,000 was collected for this worthy cause.

All the wrapped gifts will be distributed to families who cannot afford them in in four Long Island communities (Brentwood, Bay Shore, Freeport, Hempstead) as well as

locales in Manhattan, Westchester and Staten Island.

Along with the gift, the final item placed in each bag was a hand-written, holiday message by the staff member who packed it. At the bottom of their bags, students will find such joyful messages as, “Happy holidays,” or simply, “Enjoy!”

The Northwell “elves” who participated in the gift-wrapping marathon, along with Mindy Richenstein, founder and president of Supplies for Success, said that the motto of the day was, “All children deserve the gift of joy at the holidays!”

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

Alzheimer’s Foundation Of America Begins 20th Anniversary Year By Awarding Nearly $1 Million Research Grant To Feinstein Institutes For Medical Research The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) began its 20th anniversary year by announcing a $998,156 grant to the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research to expand research into developing new treatments aimed at addressing some of the most problematic behaviors of dementia— hallucinations, delusions, and aggression. The new five-year study builds on research previously conducted with a $500,000 grant AFA awarded to the Feinstein Institutes in 2016.

Psychotic symptoms and aggression are among the most troubling manifestations of dementia-related illnesses.

Violent behavior directed towards caregivers is

emotionally devastating and can be dangerous for those charged with providing a safe environment. Tragically, these behaviors are difficult to treat; and persistence of these symptoms are often the indication for placement outside of the home in a residential healthcare setting.

“There’s no better way to begin AFA’s 20th anniversary year than by making this investment in hope,” said AFA Founder and Board Chairman Bert E. Brodsky. “Finding new ways to treat these symptoms would have an enormous impact on safety and quality of life— both for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes are

making exciting progress, and this new funding will enable them to continue building on it.”

“A new year brings new beginnings, and we hope that this research will be a new chapter in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease,” said AFA President & CEO Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. “Just as AFA builds on the progress of its past twenty years, this new funding will help the Feinstein Institutes start the next phase of its research toward new treatments.”

A team of scientists led

by Jeremy Koppel, M.D., Co-director of the LitwinZucker Research Center at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, have recently found an

the structure of tests. This program is an alternative to other programs.

Anyone interested should call Western Suffolk BOCES to meet with a counselor.

association between the distribution of abnormal tau proteins in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients as visualized with advanced PET neuroimaging and psychotic symptoms.

A previous discovery made by the team linked impairments in the processing of facial emotion with the onset of psychosis in Alzheimer’s.

This, together with new PET scan evidence of abnormal tau in brain regions believed to be critical for this faculty led investigators to the hypothesis that tau disrupts networks in regions of the brain necessary for reality testing.

Investigators believe that this may result in psychosis and aggression.

“The funding provided

by AFA made our work possible; and the ongoing support is critical, allowing us to do the necessary research to

translate these discoveries into safe and effective treatments for patients and caregivers,” says Dr. Koppel.

The next five-year phase funded by the new AFA grant aims to target these symptoms through the development of immune therapies in the form of antibodies that bind to pathogenic tau.

Researchers will conduct a study comprised of three types of participants— those with both Alzheimer’s and psychosis, those with Alzheimer’s but without psychosis, and healthy controls between the ages of 65 and 85.

Participants will undergo a battery of cognitive and electrophysiologic testing, with levels and location of tau quantified in each group with new tau PET imaging technology.

The goal is to identify which areas of the brain correspond to specific symptoms, so that they can be targeted through antibody treatments.

AFA is able to award

research grants such as this through the generosity of individuals and organizations. To make a donation to support AFA’s research efforts, as well as programs and services for families affected by Alzheimer’s disease, visit www.alzfdn. org/donate or call AFA at 866-232-8484.
