A MEMO FROM THE DIRECTOR TO OUR PATIENTS AND PROSPECTIVE PATIENTS We are all aware of the dangers of the Corona virus. We at Long Island Hearing would like to share with you what we are doing to protect our patients and staff.

We have always practiced and took extra effort in protecting everyone who enters our facilities. A number of weeks ago we stepped up our effort in sanitizing our waiting room multiple times during the day. Our consultation rooms are sanitized between each patient.

Now in current time, we have elevated our sanitizing yet to a higher and finer level. Door knobs, arm chairs, clip boards and yes pens are being sanitized for your and our protection. Additionally, we have altered our scheduling of patients so that no more than three (3) patients will be in the waiting room together. We Promise and Guarantee It. Also, for those who might be health compromised, or are just not comfortable being in space other than your home, we now offer basic service and cleanings of hearing instruments as a drive up service. Stay in your car…we’ll come out to you. Call us for appointment and details how this service works. We’re ‘hear’ to help.

Long Island Hearing is working hard to keep everyone “Safe in Our Space.” During this time, walk in patients (without appointments) may experience longer wait times. Appointments for all services (except supply sales, batteries, accessories), is strongly suggested.

Together we will make this difficult time, a thing of the past. Call us 1.800.698.5200. We are open.

Thank you for your continued support, William A. Kent, BC-HIS Director

Dear Friends, These are unfortunately trying times for all of us. Now, more than ever, our Chamber businesses need your support. Here are some ways you can support your community and help our businesses to weather the storm: • Get takeout from your favorite local restaurant.

• Purchase a gift card to use at your favorite businesses later when they are able to reopen.

• Support service industry employees laid off in the restaurant and salon industry with the Virtual Tip Jar (contact individual businesses for more information) • Order online from your favorite retailer.

• Leave a positive review for your favorite businesses.

• Support local healthcare heroes! Visit our Facebook page for the link to our Go Fund Me. All money raised will go toward purchasing meals for hospital workers as well as gifts they can use to relax and pamper themselves when this is all over. We will be purchasing meals and gift cards from as many of our Chamber businesses as we can!

Together, we will get through this. We cannot wait to see you back in our businesses when it is safe to reopen! In the meantime, thank you for your continued support of our Babylon Village businesses.

While flowers certainly add beauty and a wonderful aroma to wedding ceremonies and receptions, there are other reasons behind their inclusion in such festivities. In ancient Rome, brides carried or wore flower garlands because the Romans believed flowers signified hope, fertility and new beginnings. In the Middle Ages, brides did not carry flowers, but rather strong-smelling spices and herbs. The rationale was that the herbs and spices would drive away bad luck and evil spirits. Flowers also served another practical purpose.

In eras when bathing was a luxury, different flowers and herbs helped mask body odors. It wasn't until the Victorian era, when flowers were used to symbolize romantic love, that they became part of wedding ceremonies, according to Modern Weddings magazine.

Affordable Features To Consider When Revamping Your Kitchen

Kitchens are popular gathering spots in many homes. That popularity is reflected in various ways, including how many homeowners choose to remodel their kitchens.

A 2019 report from the home renovation and design resource Houzz found that kitchens were the most popular room to renovate. Homeowners considering kitchen remodels should know that the Houzz report also indicated that spending on kitchen remodels increased by 27 percent.

Homeowners concerned by the cost of remodeling a kitchen should know that there are ways to give kitchens a whole new feel without breaking the bank.

Appliances Consumer Reports notes that luxury home buyers expect high-end features,

including professional ranges and built-in refrigerators that match the surrounding cabinetry. However, many mainstream brands offer “faux pro” features that can equal more expensive alternatives. Consumer Reports even notes that many budget-friendly faux pro appliances outperformed their high-end counterparts in terms of reliability.

Countertops Countertops tend to capture the eye’s attention when walking into a kitchen.

Outdated and/or damaged countertops grab that attention for all the wrong reasons, while updated countertops made from today’s most popular materials provide that wow factor homeowners seek. If granite is a must-have, Consumer Reports notes that homeowners can save substantial amounts of money by choosing granite from remnants at the stone yard.

If marble is your ideal countertop, save money by choosing a domestic product as opposed to one imported from overseas.

Cabinets Custom-built cabinets may be a dream, but they tend to be a very expensive one.

Such cabinets are designed to adhere to the dimensions of the kitchen, and Consumer Reports notes that they can cost tens of thousands of dollars. If that estimate would bust your budget, examine the current layout of the existing cabinets.

If the layout is fine but the cabinets need work, you can give them a whole new look by refinishing them. If the cabinets must go, stock units or semi-custom cabinets can provide a new look without busting the budget.

Kitchen remodels can be expensive. But there are many affordable ways to revamp a kitchen.

Letter to the Editor March 25, 2020 Dear Editor: I want to address those on the front lines during these uncertain times.

People around the world are watching to see - Can the people of New York handle this crisis successfully? The answer is YES WE CAN, YES WE WILL! Each day all of you are protecting our community.

That is something to be extraordinarily proud of.

Look to the people you are working with each day to do special things and say to them “We are a team and we are together on this”! “You are the heroes of healthcare”!

Continue to have confidence and pride in what you do every day, our community is thankful!

On Long Island and in the Greater NY City region we have the best people -You

are the best people! We are made for this challenge!

What is our continued focus? To provide the best possible care we can for everybody! We will stay safe using our proper Personal Preventive Equipment (PPE) guidelines and techniques.

Our health care workers are on the front lines of this pandemic, and the American Heart Association (AHA) is working with them to implement training aids and resources they anticipate needing. For example: in response to an anticipated possible future shortage of trained ICU personnel utilizing ventilators, the AHA will soon be launching a new course for Oxygenation & Ventilation of the COVID-19 patient (which will be available to health care providers worldwide

by March 31).

In conclusion to the

initial question posed today, remember: The answer is - YES WE CAN, YES WE WILL! Thanks to ALL of the Heroes of Healthcare!

Sincerely, Dr. Russell Schiff President, American Heart Association’s Long Island Board of Directors

Brian Haldenwang, the students carried out a full day of advanced biotechnology experiments that included PCR of GMO genes in common food items to determine is a food item had been genetically modified, simulated crime scene analysis with gel electrophoresis to

conclude which suspect at a crime scene committed a crime and bacterial transformation of E. coli to insert green fluorescent protein genes from jellyfish into a bacteria to see if its genotype could be changed.

How Tree Services Can Protect Your Property

• Tree services can help prevent future damage.

Even if trees made it through a recent winter unscathed, that’s no guarantee next winter or even the coming seasons of spring, summer and fall won’t ultimately prove their undoing.

Travelers Insurance notes that weather-related roof damage, including damage resulting from falling limbs and branches weighed down by snow during the winter months, accounted for more than half of all Travelers property loss claims. According to BNC Insurance and Risk Advisors, homeowners may be liable if a tree they knew posed a threat falls onto a passerby or a neighbor’s property and causes damage or injury.

Having all trees properly trimmed each year, but especially those that can fall on your home and your neighbors’ homes, may prevent future damage and legal issues.

Tree services can ensure trees maintain their aweinspiring beauty and help homeowners protect their homes and their belongings.

Mind Your Maintenance (NAPSI)—To make your car last, you have to put it first. Sticking to the maintenance schedule for your specific car keeps it running properly and protects you from expensive repairs. Here are three of the top items to consider to keep your car in tip-top shape.

• Oil changes—This is probably THE most important thing you can do for your car. Skipping even

one oil change can start damaging your engine.

• Preventative maintenance—Fluids, spark plugs, drive belts and more all need to be checked and changed at certain intervals, especially on higher-mileage cars.

• Tire rotations—Tires can be very expensive to replace. As one vehicle owner complained, “It’s easy to pass service milestones if you don’t get

reminders...I had to replace four tires on my wife’s SUV before their time at over $900 a set.”

Fortunately, taking care of your car can be easier with help from myCarfax. com. You can sign up at no cost to get reminders when it’s time for the next service visit.

Due to the current circumstances, most events have either been cancelled or postponed.

As coronavirus continues to impact Long Islanders, growing health concerns along with the constant barrage of news is raising people’s anxiety.

Catholic Health Services’s (CHS) mental health professionals offer ways we can reduce our stress during this time of uncertainty. This includes eating healthy, exercise, adequate sleep, virtually connecting with friends and family and reducing exposure to news and social media.

“The constant flow of information related to coronavirus can become

overwhelming,” said Catholic Health Services Chairman of Behavioral Health Ronald Brenner, MD. “It’s important to take a break and step away from media reports and the constant scrolling through social channels.”

Anxiety is a normal response to a stressful situation and can inspire adaptive behavior in many situations.

However, when facing mounting uncertainty, the brain can go into an anxiety spiral and cause atypical reactions. Knowing the body’s physical reactions to the different types of

anxiety is important.

Typical stress reactions can include temporary difficulty concentrating, irritability, fatigue, stomachache and difficulty sleeping. Atypical reactions can manifest in persistent and/or excessive worry that prevents you from completing daily tasks, changes to energy levels, eating patterns and/or prolonged and overwhelming worry. Dr. Brenner strongly suggests that anyone experiencing unusual or atypical reactions that won’t subside in a short period of time seek professional mental

health assistance.

To reduce coronavirusrelated anxiety, there are several steps individuals can take. These include: • Find meaningful tasks and roles within your support network to channel your anxiety • Create spaces that are not focused on coronavirus.

This could include a social media thread on other topics, or watching movies • Savor small positive moments, amplify positive stories and stay optimistic • Practice mindfulness when managing anxiety

such as performing exercises and deep breathing.

For those who wish to speak to a mental health professional, CHS offers a host of services including Telepsychiatry, which improves access to psychiatric services for emergency department (ED) patients, particularly after normal office hours.

The service is currently offered in the EDs of Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre, St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown and Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip.

19

Catholic Health Services Offers Tips to Reduce COVID-19 Anxiety More information on CHS’s mental health services may be obtained by calling 1(855) CHS-4500.

How COVID-19 Is Transmitted transmitted.

Person-To-Person Researchers who have studied the virus feel that it is spread mainly from person-to-person. People who are within six feet of one another may spread the virus through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of those who are nearby or potentially be inhaled into the lungs.

The CDC notes that the virus is contagious, and that people might be most contagious when they are at their sickest.

Symptoms of COVID-19 include difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion or inability to arouse, and bluish lips or face. Additional symptoms may be associated with COVID-19 as researchers learn more about the virus, and people who experience

anything unusual should discuss their condition with a physician immediately.

Researchers also suspect that the virus may be spreading through people who are asymptomatic. So even people who do not feel sick or exhibit signs of sickness may unknowingly have the virus, potentially making them capable of spreading it.

Contact With Surfaces The CDC notes that researchers do not suspect that contact with contaminated surfaces or objects is the main way the COVID-19 virus is spreading. However, the CDC also notes that it may be possible for people to get the virus by touching surfaces of objects that have the virus on them and then touching their own mouths, noses or possibly their eyes. The relative infancy of COVID-19 means researchers have yet to fully understand how the virus is transmitted.

Understanding COVID-19 also involves staying up-to-date on local announcements about the virus and adhering to any restrictions government

officials put in place.

People living in or near areas where others have been diagnosed should follow all protocols put in place by the government

to reduce their own and their neighbors’ risk of exposure to the virus.

More information about COVID-19 is available at www.cdc.gov.

BEACH STREET SIXTH GRADERS GO ON VIRTUAL VISIT - At West Islip’s Beach Street Middle School, teacher Christopher Scharf and library media specialist Marie DeMarco took sixth graders on a virtual field trip of the Great Wall of China.

Students not only got to “visit” the site they have been learning about in social studies, but also heard new facts shared with them by Scharf during the “journey.”

COVID-19, the novel coronavirus that was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in mid-March 2020, has claimed thousands of lives across the globe. Though the WHO insisted during a press briefing declaring COVID-19 a pandemic that the virus could be suppressed and controlled, Director-General of the WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described what he felt were “alarming levels of inaction” in regard to preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Understanding COVID-19, including the threat it poses and how it’s transmitted, is of the utmost importance.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is still much to learn about COVID-19, including how it spreads. However, the CDC notes the following are some ways that researchers, as of March 2020, feel that the virus is

PSEG Long Island and PSEG Foundation Support Island Harvest Food Bank Efforts PSEG Long Island and the PSEG Foundation are supporting the Island Harvest Food Bank in its response to critical community needs throughout Long Island as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The mission of Island Harvest Food Bank is to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island.

The PSEG Foundation provided the Island Harvest Food Bank a grant of $45,000 to address rising food insecurity, including children who do not have access to school feeding programs because their schools are temporarily closed because of the public health crisis.

Island Harvest Food Bank, which relies mostly

on donations of surplus food by commercial food establishments, wholesalers, supermarkets, and individuals, has seen a decline in those donations recently. The grant will purchase food to ensure an uninterrupted supply for people who rely on supplemental feeding programs served by Island Harvest Food Bank.

“PSEG Long Island employee volunteers support Island Harvest throughout the year,” said Daniel Eichhorn, president and COO, PSEG Long Island and Island Harvest board member.

“During this difficult time, we are grateful that the PSEG Foundation is able to provide this grant to continue our support

and help Island Harvest’s efforts.”

“Island Harvest Food Bank is grateful for the generous support of PSEG Long Island employees and the PSEG Foundation to help us increase our efforts to get much-needed food support to people in Nassau and Suffolk counties impacted by the coronavirus pandemic,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “PSEG Long Island is a longtime, valued partner in our hunger-relief efforts, and their generosity will help us through some of the extraordinary roadblocks we are encountering, including purchasing large quantities of food to meet the demands during these

uncertain times.”

The PSEG Foundation is a 501c3, not-for-profit organization that aims to build sustainable and thriving communities by fostering equity, safety, and diversity and inclusion, as well as supporting the environment, education and workforce development in the communities we serve.

The PSEG Foundation

provides grants to groups in communities served by PSEG and its subsidiaries; Foundation giving is separate and distinct from PSEG Long Island’s operational budget.

PSEG Long Island customers that are experiencing difficulties as a result of the outbreak and would like additional time to pay bills are encouraged to visit www.psegliny.com/

myaccount.

To stay connected with PSEG Long Island and manage their accounts, customers can log into My Account, chat or email, register for MyAlerts for text and email updates, download the free PSEG Long Island mobile app, and follow PSEG Long Island on Facebook and Twitter.

Stony Brook University Hospital Accepting i-Pad Donations for Telehealth Distancing Measures Members of the community have been reaching out and asking how they can help the healthcare professionals and those afflicted with COVID-19 pandemic.

One very important way: we need an influx of iPads to keep our inpatients connected to their providers and their families.

Anyone who has an iPad that is not being used, please consider donating to Stony Brook University Hospital.

We will repurpose the donated device to provide telecommunication for our patients to connect

with our medical staff.

We are looking for about one hundred devices of a supported iPad model.

Before donation, the device should be cleaned, reset (click here for instructions), and placed in a zip lock bag if possible with a viable power chord.

It takes a team effort to convert these devices into a secure patient friendly solution. We will do our best to make your gift count and give someone comfort during these remarkable times.

The donations of medical supplies and comfort care items such as gum, lip balm, tissues and

snacks have been pouring in and we appreciate the community’s response.

We’ve also received many video messages of support and are sharing those throughout the hospital.

Please keep them coming!

In order to maintain social distancing and safety, appointments are being scheduled for donation drop off.

Please contact: Joan Dickinson, Stony Brook University Community Relations Director, at COVID19donations@ stonybrook.edu or call 631.219.0603 to schedule an appointment.

Quiet Home Noise With Soundproofing Many people want their homes to be comfortable, relaxing retreats. While much thought will be given to layout and decor, the noises in and around a house also can affect how enjoyable a space is or isn’t.

Certain offenders are driving up the noise levels in homes. New building materials that are lighter than those used in the past can make it easier for noise to travel between rooms. In addition, open floor plans make it easy for noise to travel from room to room, while handheld personal devices can make rooms noisy. Homeowners who want more peace and quiet in their home can take the following steps.

WEST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 1, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Add More Drywall Homeowners may not be able to add walls of sturdy brick to block sounds, but they can add more drywall

in noisy rooms. Consider adding more drywall to a library or reading nook.

The home improvement resource HomeLogic notes that drywall can be used to isolate noisy rooms, such as those where kids practice playing musical instruments.

Beef Up Dense Materials Heavy curtains, fluffy furniture and thick carpets can make rooms quieter because they help absorb sound waves. Such items

permanent by expanding them and repairing homes for the long haul.

The National Association of Realtors said that, between 1987 and 2008, home buyers stayed in their homes an average of six

years before selling. Since then, however, NAR says the average expected length of time people will stay in their homes before selling is now 15 years.

Part of what’s fueling this permanency is that many home buyers were able to acquire rock-bottom mortgage interest rates shortly after the 2008

recession. As a result, they’re not inclined to walk away from those rates, even if doing so means getting more house. Also, a low inventory of available houses has stymied repeat buying for many people.

Those factors and others have led many homeowners to invest in renovations instead. The experts at Bankrate say realistic budgeting and comparing renovation project costs against mortgages and interests rates can further help individuals decide whether to remain in their current homes or move out.

Very often a smarter layout and more efficient floor plan can make meaningful differences in spaces.

Renovations and redesigns can make sense and often are less expensive and disruptive than moving.
