On Oct. 1, the West Babylon Fire Department visited students at John F. Kennedy Elementary School in the West Babylon School District as a kickoff to Fire Prevention Month. During the interactive outdoor assembly, students engaged with firefighters and practiced stop, drop and roll drills. Kindergarten teacher Ann Flynn even went 100 feet high in the bucket truck.

“I’m saving about $1,800 a year in energy costs with LED lighting.”*
—Guy Brogna, All Music Inc, Plainview
Meet Guy. He’s a local small business owner, rock bassist, and fan of LEDs. It didn’t hurt that he got $5,900 in rebates to replace his store’s old lighting with energy-efficient fixtures.* He says his store and his guitars look great in the new LED glow. And, with the monthly energy cost savings, he couldn’t be happier.

Join Breast Cancer Survivors and Thrivers at American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) of Long Island
Join Breast Cancer Survivors and Thrivers at American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) of Long Island on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024, 7 a.m.-10:30 a.m. (rolling start). Ends approximately at noon.
The 31st annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Long Island is a celebration of courage and hope, and a movement that
unites communities to end breast cancer as we know it, for everyone. Expecting 70,000+ participants. Over the past three decades, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’s 3- to 5-mile walks have collectively grown into the nation’s largest and most impactful breast cancer movement – providing a supportive community for survivors, caregivers and families alike. Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer funds lifesaving breast cancer research and is committed to advancing health equity through essential programs and services.
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,
Leaves Can Stain Exterior Surfaces
Leaves that fall from trees can be a marvel to behold, but leaves can stain exterior surfaces when they eventually settle on vehicles, concrete driveways, patios, and other surfaces, become wet and/or are not cleaned away in a timely fashion. Leaf stains are caused by tannins in the leaves.
The pigments can be absorbed by porous materials like concrete and leave stains behind. While these stains may wash away over time, homeowners may prefer a faster way to get rid of unsightly stains. To remove moderate leaf stains, mix oxygen bleach with hot water and apply to stains
using a scrub brush. Dark stains may require a tougher cleanser, such as one that contains trisodium phosphate. Some homeowners find success using a pressure washer to clean away leaf stains, while others rely on commercial leaf-stain removers.
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.
• No one should face breast cancer alone. The American Cancer Society helpline provides information and support 24/7 at (800) 227-2345. Visit MakingStridesWalk. org/LongIsland. This event will take place at Jones Beach – Field 5, 1 Ocean Parkway, Wantagh, N.Y.
