Insurance Tips And Information

Article provided by Ken Marcus and Mitchell Barber

Review Your Home Coverage

Have you reviewed your insurance coverage this year? Within the past five years? Unfortunately, most people’s eyes glaze over when offered the chance to review their coverage. “Everything is fine,” they instinctively say, stalwart in their effort to not-be-sold anything. The problem is our lives are dynamic and everchanging. We must alter our coverage to fit our ever-changing physiques. In the consumer focused, internet age, we can choose the coverage we want. Seldom, however,

do our needs remain the same from year to year. We often need a professional to guide us to purchase what we want, whether we

know what we want or not. Have building codes changed since you purchased your home? Did you ask about Code Coverage? Do you know what Code Coverage provides? Is your personal property insured against loss or theft? How about if it’s away from home? What happens if you list your house on Air BNB? Or rent a room or floor to a tenant? Are you covered for their lost possessions? Are you covered if you are sued by them? Call your agent and talk about changes in your life. Review your coverage considering how you live.

BMGS Art Students Take Part In PTA Reflections Contest Theme

OLPH KNIGHTS HOST “MEET MANETTA” FUNDRAISER - The Lindenhurst Knights of Columbus co-chaired a fundraiser with TOB Councilman Anthony Manetta at So Sveglio’s Espresso Bar in downtown Lindenhurst. The event was for constituents to meet with Anthony (soon to be Knight) and also take part in a 50/50 for Long Island Cares. A huge thank you to Chestnut Bay Equestrian for their purchase of 75 tickets!

Sleep Is Restorative

And Essential For Children

Three Babylon Memorial Grade School student artists are taking part in the national PTA Reflections Contest. The artists are 4th grader Alicia G, 5th grader Michael P. and 6th grader Mia P. They will join student artists from across the country participating in this longrunning national program.

The theme for this year’s Reflections contest is “Show Your Voice.” Students in age groups ranging from Pre-K through high school can submit their completed work in the categories of dance choreography, music composition, film production, photography literature or visual arts. Alicia, Michael and Mia submitted their works in the visual arts category.

The Reflections contest draws more than 300,000 submissions and helps students explore their feelings through different forms of expression all while

building confidence in their artistic skills. The winners of the contest are announced in May.

Sleep is restorative and essential for ensuring our minds and bodys operate at peak capacity, but many kids are not getting enough sleep. According to WebMD, bedtimes have gradually become later as children must contend with social, family and school activities. This is especially true for older children. WebMD says that most 12-year-olds now go to bed around 9 p.m., getting an average of 9 hours of sleep, even though 12 hours is ideal for kids who are 12.

Helping You Help Others

By Noelle Lambert

The Charity of the Month for February is The Corporate Source

www.thecorporatesource.org

The Corporate Source (TCS) is a non-profit organization that started in 1996. They strive to change the perceptions of individuals with disabilities in the workforce by having them work in integrated settings where their value, productivity, commitment and dedication can be experienced by all. To accomplish this mission, TCS addresses the factors a ecting employment inequity and overcomes barriers to employment that keep this staggering number of people with disabilities excluded from the workforce. TCS is extremely proud of their work and today the operate in over 100 locations , many here on Long Island, NY.

Despite an increased knowledge base and laws, such as the Americans With Disabilities Act, the overwhelming number of people with disabilities are either unemployed or underemployed. In America alone, roughly 61 million adults live with a disability. Today, about 1 in 6 American children are diagnosed with a developmental disability and they then age out of most public programming when they become 21. With less to do each day and having fewer prospects for employment, these young adults often become socially isolated and depressed.

Sometimes, employers may have misconceptions which make them reluctant to hire a person with disabilities. TCS works to change perceptions to show employers the benefits of an inclusive workforce. Given the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and capabilities, these employees show dependability, honesty, tenacity and dedication to doing the best job possible. Several TCS workers have received awards and recognition for their achievements and outstanding performance on the job.

TCS employs nearly 400 people with disabilities in the greater New York tristate region, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, providing outsourcing services to several federal, state and

private sector organizations. A small sample of their longterm client collaborations include Janitorial and Disinfecting Services for the US Merchant Marine Academy, Mail-room Operations at Long Island and NYC Internal Revenue Service locations, Call Center Support at the Manhattan VA Medical Center and Kennel Care for the Department of Homeland Security at JFK Airport.

Most recently, they have partnered with the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) to develop a program for professionally educating and training people with disabilities for entry level positions in the growing IT field. Corporations like Microsoft, Ernst & Young and more have had very positive experiences where people with disabilities are e ective for these positions from a number of perspectives.

This non-profit works year-round through special events, networking opportunities, social media outreach and other e orts to raise awareness and funds to support disability employment initiatives. There are many ways that you can support the mission of TCS.

For more information, visit www. thecorporatesource.org or contact Ruth-Ann Gater at ruth-ann.gater@ thecorporatesource.org and stay tuned for next week’s article.

What Are Clinical Trials?

Breast cancer treatments are highly effective, which is one reason why the National Cancer Institute can report that the five-year survival rate for non-metastatic breast cancer is 90 percent. However, in certain situations, doctors may feel that the existing standard for breast cancer treatment may not be enough to help women overcome their

disease. In such instances, doctors may discuss clinical trials with women battling breast cancer. The American Cancer Society defines clinical trials as research studies in which people volunteer to help doctors find ways to prevent or treat disease. The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® points out that all current standards of treatment began

as clinical trials. However, that does not mean women diagnosed with breast cancer should automatically sign up to participate in clinical trials. There are pros and cons to participating in clinical trials, and breast cancer patients can speak with their medical teams about the advantages and disadvantages of each trial they’re considering. One

myth worth dispelling is that clinical trials are only an option for people who have been diagnosed with advanced stage cancer. In fact, the NCI notes that clinical trials are available for all stages of cancer. A database of NCI-supported clinical trials can be found at https://www.cancer.gov/ about-cancer/treatment/ clinical-trials/search.

What is the 50-30-20 approach?

Effective financial strategies vary depending on which stage of life a person is in. For example, a recent college graduate working his or her first professional job will not have the same financial strategy as someone on the cusp of retirement. But one financial strategy that people of all ages can look to for guidance is the 50-30-20 approach.

Popularized by United States

Senator Elizabeth Warren, the 50-30-20 approach to financial planning can be a valuable resource for anyone trying to develop a budget. The approach is simple yet effective. Under the 5030-20 approach, income is allocated based on this breakdown:

· 50 percent of money is spent on needs, including housing costs, health insurance, car payments,

and groceries

· 30 percent of money is spent on wants, including hobbies, dining out and travel

· 20 percent of money is allocated to savings

Proponents of the 5030-20 approach note that calculations should be based on after-tax income, or what’s often referred to as “takehome pay.” Professionals with steady paychecks can

easily determine their 50-30-20 breakdowns by saving a month’s worth of pay stubs and establishing their monthly budget based on what’s coming in. The task can be trickier for self-employed or freelance workers, who may benefit from working with financial planners as they seek to create monthly budgets based on the 50-30-20 approach.

Town Of Babylon Thanked For Direct Support Program

Local Businesses And Organizations Appreciative Of Community-Saving ARPA Funds

Local small businesses and organizations recently came together at Babylon Town Hall to thank the Town of Babylon for its Direct Support Program, which distributed vital American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. The 267 grants from the program helped businesses stay afloat as they recovered economically from the pandemic and has allowed them to pursue postpandemic growth and prosperity. Over $8.3 million was issued to 192 small businesses, 68 nonprofit organizations and seven veterans groups, and 98 of the recipients are minority- and womenowned businesses.

“Our small businesses place a great deal on the line to drive our local economy,” said Chairman of the Town of Babylon Small Business Committee Councilman Anthony Manetta. “Therefore, it was the Town of Babylon’s goal for our businesses and nonprofits not just to survive but to thrive postpandemic as well.”

Several business owners testified to the significant impact the program had in maintaining their businesses and, in turn, supporting economic progress and hope for the community. “Many of us had to close our doors for months at a time, which had a significant impact on our businesses and personal finances,” said CBC Wireless owner and grant recipient Reggie Mays. “I do not think we would have survived without the program’s funds.” His Wyandanch business that has been opened since 1995 utilized the money it received to address pandemic-based revenue loss.

“I feel that this year will be a better year for all of us,” said Dalisa Pizza owner and grant recipient Frances Dalisa in her appreciation for the funds. The North Babylon

restaurant, previously in Deer Park, has been a local staple for 50 years and used the grant money it was awarded to pay bills and handle rising costs.

Veterans organizations were also deeply grateful for the funds they received, with John Simpkins of Martin Kessler Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Post 2912 commending the Town on behalf of the contingency. Chair of the Town of Babylon Veterans Advisory Council and former veteran Councilman DuWayne Gregory expressed the importance of including veterans groups in the Direct Support Program, for they provide countless services and programs to the community and help a population that has selflessly sacrificed a great deal for this country.

The Town of Babylon also utilized ARPA funds to make significant investments in public safety through grants to various municipalities and fire

departments to purchase life-saving equipment. Using the allocated funds, the Wyandanch Fire Department obtained a new ladder truck, the Lindenhurst and West Babylon Fire Departments received LUCAS devices— which assist with the performance of CPR— and the Copiague Fire Department will soon be acquiring three AEDs. In addition, Babylon Village will be using the funds to purchase an ambulance.

Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Shaffer expressed his sincere gratitude to those who assisted him in organizing the profoundly impactful program, as well as to all of the recipients for their dedication and contributions to the community. The supervisor, as well as many of the recipients, also delivered a special message of appreciation for Viscel Moore, whose leadership and years of experience made the program possible.

Partners Share Observations In Literature

PARTNERS SHARE OBSERVATIONS IN LITERATURE - As part of a recent reading lesson, third graders at South Bay Elementary School in the West Babylon School District worked with their classmates for a partner share to talk about observations in their books. Students talked to each other about the different characters in their books and came up with theories about their character and what kind of person they seem to be. The students shared why they came up with those ideas and other observations that led them to that particular conclusion. Photo courtesy of West Babylon School District
