How to Make an Impact This National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (StatePoint) October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual opportunity to spend your dollars on products and services that benefit breast cancer advocacy, research and patient care services.

However, experts say that the clutter of pink products on store shelves and online can make savvy shopping a challenge.

“Determining if a given product sold during October actually benefits a breast cancer charity, is not always easy,” says Sarah Rosales, vice president of Corporate Partnerships at Susan G. Komen, the world’s leading breast cancer organization.

One way to ensure that your purchases are making the impact you think they will is by shopping with Komen’s Annual Live Pink program. This year, Komen has partnered with more than 25 companies, and the lineup of products and services available includes everything from specially designed clothing and skin care products, to bagels and bikes. By shopping with the brands in the Live Pink portfolio during October, you can help fund

research and care services that support people through their breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and beyond. Program details are transparent on the Live Pink site. To learn more and to shop, visit, komen. org/livepink.

For other purchases you make this National Breast Cancer Awareness Month that make charitable claims, Susan G. Komen recommends asking the following questions:

What structured? percentage or exact amount of the proceeds will go to the charity? Will the company be making a minimum or maximum donation to the charity?

Shop only with companies that offer transparency with regards to program details and how donations are structured.

By shopping savvy this October, you can support the fight against breast cancer and ensure your 1. What charity is the purchases are making the program supporting? Do biggest impact possible. promotional materials about the product or service clearly and conspicuously state this information?

2. How will the benefitting charity use the donation?

You should be made aware where your money is going and what charitable programs your purchase will support. Funds raised to benefit Komen, for example, go to support the organization’s advocacy for breast cancer patients, investments in research and a number of direct patient care services.

Stony Brook Artist Pam

Pam Brown-Homaridae

Brown is best known for making sculpture that portrays her personal story as a naturalist, inspired by the beauties and tragedies of wildlife and American history.

Her artwork focuses on anthropological and environmental concerns of extinction and the human condition in reference to the natural world. She has exhibited her large-scale public works throughout the Northeast from Maine and Vermont to Virginia and Tennessee and exhibits her smaller sculptures in galleries across New York State and Long Island.

NYC artist Kathy Levine makes art about the importance of the natural environment to our well-being. The pieces are handmade from recycled paper cast over natural objects like trees, bark, leaves, branches and other forms found in nature. She has exhibited her work and won awards across the country from Brooklyn to Michigan to

About the exhibit: Landscapes and wildlife are disappearing at a rapid rate. Natural resources are diminishing and the effects of global warming are evident in our daily lives. Far too often our surroundings are disregarded and unappreciated; fires rage throughout the world, flooding and famine are at the forefront igniting civil wars and environmental catastrophes. As so much of the modern world has shown us, the power of a symbol cannot be underestimated.

Pam Brown and Kathy Levine firmly believe that art is a catalyst for change and that images can heighten the visibility of our environment and in turn foster awareness and stewardship.

Brown and Levine fabricate dimensional objects from a variety of sheet materials, such as paper, sheet metal and

Pam Brown- There’s No Place Like Home copper. These pieces hang off the wall, suspend and free-stand; their artwork and construction methods speak to the beauty found in nature as well to the destruction.

FOR CARING PEOPLE!

Equal Opportunity Employer Proud of Our Workforce Diversity.

(StatePoint) There is a new phenomenon happening, where scream seekers travel the country trying to locate the scariest attraction.

To plan your annual road trip, visit Hauntworld. com, the world’s biggest directory of haunted attractions featuring over 4,000 listings. The site has been publishing it’s Top 13 Scariest Haunted Houses list for nearly two decades.

According to Hauntworld, haunted attractions have drastically changed over the last five years, with escape rooms, outdoor scream zones, horror arcades, scary photo opps, haunted midways, axe throwing, pumpkin festivals, hayrides and more.

So, which attractions give thrill-seekers the most scream for their money?

This year’s list includes everything from theme park attractions taking fear to another level, to locally-owned and operated haunted attractions. So carve your jack-o-lantern, decorate your yard with skeletons and ghosts, and pack your bags, because Hauntworld is taking you on the scariest road trip across Haunted America with the top 13 scariest, best, biggest and best places to scream this Halloween season!

1. 13th Gate, Baton Rouge, La. 13th Gate includes amazing set design, animations and character actors who bring scenes to life. One of the largest indoor haunts nationwide at over 60,000 square feet, it features everything from Hollywood-level sets to live snakes!

2. Headless Horseman Hayride, Ulster Park, NY. Headless Horseman is a massive scream park with the country’s best haunted hayride, haunted houses and unique gift stores.

3. Haunted Overload, Lee, N.H. Haunted Overload is probably the single most creative Halloween experience nationwide,

with massive one-of-a-kind creations. Your trip through the forest will never be the same.

4. Field of Screams, Mountville, Pa. Field of Screams is an intense haunted attraction with an all-volunteer dedicated staff of actors, a massive hayride, haunted houses and a giant haunted midway.

5. The Darkness, St. Louis, Mo. Some rank The Darkness the best haunted house in America due to its amazing set design and the industry’s largest collection of monsters, animations and special effects, along with a huge gift store.

6. Pennhurst Asylum, Spring City, Pa. One of the most notorious abandoned asylums has been transformed into one of the scariest haunted experiences in America. If there’s such a thing as real fear, Pennhurst Asylum has it!

7. Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, Orlando, Fla. Probably one of the most famous haunted events in America, Universal Orlando shows all other theme parks how to do fright right, featuring haunted houses, rides and more.

8. Hellsgate, Lockport, Ill. Created by the Zombie Army near Chicago, this haunted house features amazing detail and a cast of monsters

second to none. Hellsgate is a throwback haunted house to when haunts were scary.

9. Knott’s Scary Farm, Los Angeles, Calif. The longest-running theme park haunted event is bigger and better than ever. Knott’s Scary Farm’s highlight is “The Hanging,” a show where they mock a celebrity.

10. Bennett’s Curse, Baltimore, Md. Bennett’s Curse features some of the biggest collections of monsters, animations and high-end costumes and masks. Prepare to take a trip to the underworld!

11.

The Dent Schoolhouse, Cincinnati, Ohio. Your worst nightmare is going back to high school where your long lost teachers are back to torture from the other side. Dent Schoolhouse will leave you scarred for life.

12. Disney Haunted Mansion, California and Orlando. You can’t visit Disney without a trip to the Haunted Mansion, the original haunted house and still as spooky as ever, with ghosts at every turn.

13.

Spookywoods, Archdale, N.C. Spookywoods is more than just a haunted scream park. With ziplines, trains, tram tours and much more, it’s Halloween fun by day and fear by night.

people’s expectations about Americans looking a certain way. About once a week I had to explain that Americans come from diverse backgrounds, and that I was just as much an American as any other Peace Corps volunteer,” says Neng Lee, a first-generation HmongAmerican who served as a health volunteer in the Kyrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzstan) from 2015 to 2017, and as a youth development volunteer from 2017 to 2019.

Valuable Assets In other cases, a diverse background can be an advantage.

“Integrating into Jamaican culture was easy due to the many similarities with my Mexican culture,” says Maria Elena Venegas Banulelos, a Spanish speaking, MexicanAmerican Peace Corps volunteer who served in Jamaica. “For instance, both Mexicans and Jamaicans are very religious, we enjoy a little spice in our food, and like to dress our best when in public. Both cultures love soccer, dancing and loud music. Also, the environments are similar in the structure of the homes and agricultural products, and both are home to the most humble people.”

This sentiment is shared by other volunteers as well.

“My color and my accent have not affected my volunteer work negatively,

instead this has allowed me to integrate well in my community, and people even call me ‘African,’” says Aboubakar Bodi, who was born in Togo and served in Jamaica.

Bringing Skills Home Peace Corps service can be an emotionally rewarding experience and an effective way to develop the skills needed to make a difference in one’s community back home. It can also be a key stepping stone in one’s career. Volunteers serve for 27 months in education, health, agriculture and other sectors, and upon their return, they are able to usher innovative solutions to collective problems in U.S. communities.

“I am very proud of having taught CPR and first aid to people in different villages in the Kyrgyz language. I also translated most of my CPR and first aid materials into Kyrgyz,” says Lee, who notes that, “Volunteering opens so many doors in the future, and the people you meet along the way will help you.”

“Volunteers are international cultural ambassadors representing the United States. That’s why it’s so important our body of volunteers actually reflects the diversity of the country,” says Spahn.

Suffolk County Legislator Nick Caracappa recently hosted a “Rally for Freedom” event in Selden to support the essential workers in healthcare, education and other professions who are at risk of losing their jobs for choosing not to be vaccinated against Covid-19. Over 250 people were in attendance, and testimony was given by teachers, nurses, first responders, elected officials including NYS Senator Mario Mattera, NYS Assembly members Doug Smith, Jodi Giglio and Joe DeStefano, along with those who lost loved ones from Covid-19.

The goal was to implore Governor Hochul to listen to our communities and try to find some middle

ground so that people don’t lose their jobs as a result of these restrictive mandates.

“New Yorkers, particularly those in Suffolk County and within my district, have worked hard to keep us safe during Covid by risking their lives and putting their families second for those who needed them,” explained Legislator Caracappa.

“Now, they feel deserted and desperate to have a voice. I want them to know that I am here to listen and stand with them against these irresponsible, unjustified and unwarranted mandates.

They rallied for us when we were in need. Now we must rally for them!”

“Some local media outlets announced the event as an “anti-vaccine”

rally. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” added Caracappa.

“I personally chose to get vaccinated. And I respect those who choose not to.

This isn’t a dispute about a Covid-19 vaccine. It’s about keeping our constitutional right of freedom that our Founding Fathers fought and died for. Thank you so much for the support from all of our speakers, members of the SCPD and the Selden, Farmingville, Centereach and Coram Fire Departments, DJ Top Entertainment, and for local businesses who donated food, like Slice’s Pizza, Duck Donuts and Chick-Fil-A. As I always say, you can’t spell Community without UNITY!”

(StatePoint) The Peace Corps, established in 1961, partners with communities abroad to develop sustainable solutions for the world’s most pressing challenges at the grassroots level. While all volunteers returned home in March of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency is working to return to service and is now actively recruiting volunteers of backgrounds historically underrepresented in the organization, including African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Asian-Americans.

“As part of our mission, we seek to reflect the rich diversity of the United States abroad, bringing different perspectives and solutions to development issues in the countries we serve,” says Carol Spahn, acting director of the Peace Corps.

“We also seek to create inclusion – a culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility and fairness; and leverages diversity so that all individuals are able to contribute to their full potential.”

If you’re interested in Peace Corps service, here’s what to know.

New Challenges While Peace Corps service is demanding for every volunteer, being from a diverse ethnic background can introduce additional challenges, according to those who have served.

SUFFOLK ZONE 5 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 27, 2021 - NOVEMBER 9, 2021• WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

PSEG LONG ISLAND’S POWER TO FEED LONG ISLAND INITIATIVE John Keating, manager of Economic Development at PSEG Long Island announces PSEG Long Island Island’s Power to Feed Long Island initiative exceeded its goal, raising the equivalent of 21,944 meals – nearly a thousand more meals than its 21,000meal objective.

PSEG Long Island’s Power to Feed Long Island initiative has exceeded its goal, raising the equivalent of 21,944 meals – nearly a thousand more meals than its 21,000-meal objective.

Three months and six food drives yielded 10,106 pounds of food and supplies, plus nearly $2,200 in cash donations, and online donations totaling more than $4,000.

Representatives from Island Harvest Food Bank, small business owners, community volunteers and Girl Scouts who contributed to the initiative, the company announced the results of its Power to Feed Long Island initiative at the food bank’s Melville warehouse.

“We are proud that our community came out to support each other and fight hunger through our Power to Feed Long Island food drives,” said Daniel Eichhorn, president and COO of PSEG Long Island, and Island Harvest Food Bank board member. “We set a lofty goal in July, and Long Islanders showed up in force with shopping carts and trunks full of food and supplies to meet the challenge. We crushed our goal because helping each other is something Long Islanders do, and it’s something our employees do. We’re glad we were able

to create the venue to make it happen.”

“We are incredibly grateful to PSEG Long Island for their longstanding commitment to addressing the issue of hunger and food insecurity on Long Island,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “Thanks to their concern and generosity and the success of the Power to Feed Long Island initiative, countless Long Islanders struggling to feed their families will be able to rest easier knowing that they will have access to something as basic as food.”

Power to Feed Long Island was created to restock the shelves at Island Harvest to enable the nonprofit to provide community members in need with nutritious food, personal care items, baby essentials and pet supplies.

Food drive events were held at six supermarkets ─ King Kullen in Garden City Park/New Hyde Park and Shirley; Stew Leonard’s in East Meadow; and Stop & Shop in Huntington Station, Islandia and Massapequa ─ from July through September, when vacations cause a decrease in donations, and collection drives are not top of mind.

It is also a time when children out of school are not receiving daily free or

reduced-cost breakfast and lunch, which puts a heavier burden on their families.

“Stop & Shop is proud to continue its committed support of the efforts of Island Harvest to address food insecurity across Nassau and Suffolk counties,” said Stefanie Shuman, community relations manager, Stop & Shop.

“Power to Feed Long Island allowed our customers to take part in food drives held at Stop & Shop stores and help their neighbors in need.

It’s important that we all come together during these very difficult times,” she added.

Along with the economic hardships caused by the pandemic, there is a significant strain on the supplemental food supply chain.

The collection drives continued through September, Hunger Action Month.

More than a dozen PSEG Long Island employees participated in the food drives as Power to Feed Long Island ambassadors. They agree that safely getting back out into the community to help their neighbors was a rewarding experience.

How Teachers FCU is Making Strides Towards the Cure

SUFFOLK ZONE 5 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 27, 2021 - NOVEMBER 9, 2021• WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Teachers Federal Credit Union is helping get closer to the cure through in branch donations and being a flagship sponsor of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.

Teachers committed $15,000 to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk held on October 17th at Jones

Beach State Park, and gathered with 150 employee walkers to raise a total of $35,000.

Throughout the remainder of October, you can still go into any Teachers location and donate money for a pink ribbon, with all donations going to cancer research.

Making Strides Against

Breast Cancer has united communities in the fight against this deadly disease and funded breakthrough research, 24/7 support for breast cancer patients and access to lifesaving screenings for more than two decades, and Teachers is proud to help their continuous journey.

Oktoberfest Celebrations The style of beer most widely consumed during Oktoberfest celebrations can be traced to a time before refrigeration was available. According to the online beer resource BeerAdvocate.com, brewing beer in the summertime was nearly impossible in the days before refrigeration. Hot weather and the risk of bacterial infections complicated brewing in summer, so many brewers

would cease brewing beer in spring and begin again in the fall when temperatures dropped.

As a result, the beers available for Oktoberfest celebrations were the Märzen style of beer, or those brewed in the month of March, shortly before brewing ceased for the season. These Märzen beers were kept in cold storage throughout the spring and summer or brewed at a higher gravity so they

5 Lifestyle Tips For A Healthy Fall

would keep and be available for consumption during Oktoberfest celebrations.

Such brewing restrictions were no longer necessary after refrigeration became commonplace and made it possible to brew beer year-round, but there’s still a strong chance that steins being hoisted during this year’s Oktoberfest celebrations will be filled with Märzen-style beers.

As we dive into another unpredictable fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Heart Association, a global force for longer, healthier lives for all, urges people to take time to nurture their body and mind for better overall health.

“After the past several months disrupted many of our typical routines, this fall is a great chance to reset and resume a more consistent work, school and family schedule. Start small by committing to eating more meals together as a family, said Anne Thorndike, M.D., MPH, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, director of the Metabolic Syndrome Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and volunteer chair of the American Heart Association’s Nutrition Committee.

“Routines can be a good way to provide structure and clarity during busy or stressful seasons, so scheduling in meals at home or regular exercise is not only good for physical health, but good for managing stress as well.”

When it comes to mealtime, there are plenty of clever ways to add in nourishing ingredients, reminds Bridget Wojciak, director of Nutrition at Kroger Health, a national

sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Healthy for GoodTM initiative, which helps people create positive, lasting change in their health and well-being one step at a time.

“It is a helpful frame of mind to ask yourself what you can add to a meal instead of taking away, like mixing in zucchini noodles with traditional noodles or adding in shredded vegetables to sauces or soups,” Wojciak said. “Experiment with new recipes and new preparations and see what works best for your family.”

In addition to using mealtime to intentionally connect, the American Heart Association offers these healthy tips for a healthier fall: Unplug to connect: September is a great reminder to eat regular meals at home with family.

Family meals reduce stress, boost self-esteem and make the whole family feel connected.[1] To help families have more fun at mealtime, the American Heart Association has conversation topics that are great for all ages.

Savor seasonal flavors: Fall brings new seasonal produce and recipe inspiration for family meals. Sign up to receive a free cookbook with hearthealthy, delicious recipes from the American Heart

Association and Kroger Health, a national sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Healthy for GoodTM initiative.

Spend time outside: Take advantage of cooler temperatures by spending time outdoors for better physical and mental wellbeing. Spending time outdoors has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood.[2] If you have a pet, get moving together! It’s a win-win for the health of you and your pet.

Shop smart: Grocery shopping can be overwhelming, no matter the season. To find foods that can be part of a heart-healthy eating pattern, keep an eye out for the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check mark.

Give thanks: Chronic, or constant, stress can have a negative impact on health, so it’s important to build in habits to reduce stress.

One great place to start is by practicing gratitude.

Write down three things you’re grateful for each day, or reach out to a friend or family member and tell them how much you appreciate them.

Free Transportation Through ‘Ride Rep. Zeldin Joins Supervisor Aguiar, Local United’ To And From Covid-19 Officials And Residents At Demolition Of Vaccine Appointments Two Buildings In Downtown Riverhead United Way of Long Island recently launched ‘Ride United’ to help local residents access transportation to receive the COVID-19 vaccine through the rideshare service Lyft. The program is part of United Way Worldwide’s Ride United Vaccine Access Campaign, which addresses unmet transportation needs for individuals and families.

Long Island residents participating in ‘Ride United’ receive 2 free Lyft rides (up to $25 each way) to and from vaccination appointments located in Nassau or Suffolk Counties. Riders must download the Lyft app on a supported device and have an active Lyft account.

“United Way of Long Island is committed to keeping our communities safe and healthy. Ride United removes barriers of transportation inequity, ensuring that any Long Islander seeking to get vaccinated can get to and from their appointment without cost,” said Theresa A. Regnante, President and CEO of United Way of Long Island.

Ride United expands upon the organization’s COVID-19 response efforts. United Way of Long Island has helped seniors, veterans and families receive emergency financial assistance, fresh groceries, PPE items and HEPA air purifiers to improve their health, well-being and financial security during the pandemic. Expanding access to

vaccination appointments provides a critical resource for neighbors who would otherwise be unable to get to their appointment due to financial, transport or other reasons.

If you or someone you know needs transportation to and from your COVID-19 vaccination appointment, visit www.unitedwayli.org/rideunited, or contact 211 Long Island by dialing 2-1-1, or outside of Nassau and Suffolk Counties dial 1-888-774-7633, 7 days a week, or visit 211longisland.org.

About United Way of Long Island United Way of Long Island advances the common good, creating opportunities for a better life for all by focusing on the three key building blocks of education, financial stability and health.

We recruit people and organizations that bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done.

LIVE UNITED® is a call to action for everyone to become part of the change.

United Way of Long Island is part of a worldwide network spanning across 41 countries and territories, including more than 1,200 local organizations in the U.S. For more information about United Way of Long Island, please visit UnitedWayLI.org, or follow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) joined Riverhead Town Supervisor Yvette Aguiar, New York State and Suffolk County legislators, as well as other local officials and residents at a press conference ahead of the demolition of two buildings in downtown Riverhead, representing a significant milestone to getting Riverhead’s

Downtown Revitalization project underway.

Congressman Zeldin helped facilitate the joint efforts of the U.S Army Corps of Engineers and the Town of Riverhead to develop a Floodplain Management Study for the revitalization project.

Congressman Zeldin has also expressed support to the U.S. Department

of Transportation for Riverhead’s RAISE grant application to help fund the creation of Riverhead Town Square. The proposed Town Square will consist of a public gathering space, pedestrian connectivity and open vistas from Main Street to the riverfront, and will be a driving force for further revitalization in downtown Riverhead.

The Impact Of Volunteers volunteers are from an economic standpoint. In its 2018 “Volunteering in America Report,” AmeriCorps, an organization dedicated to strengthening communities and fostering civic engagement through service and volunteering, reported that Americans volunteered nearly 6.9 billion hours worth an estimated $167 billion in

2017. Volunteering figures to be even more valuable in the months and years ahead as towns, cities and countries look to recover from a global pandemic that claimed millions of lives and devastated economies big and small. As the world attempts to rebuild itself once the pandemic has ended, volunteers can play vital roles in reestablishing

their communities. In fact, many people have already made that recognition.

According to data from the professional social networking site LinkedIn, the site’s users had added more than 110,00 volunteer activities to their profiles between the early stages of the pandemic in 2020 and the end of summer 2020.
