MANGANO HONORS AMT Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano (fourth from left) officially thanked ambulance medical technician Joseph Biundo, who successfully evacuated the Dunkin’ Donuts in Carle Place before anyone was injured. Biundo, who has worked as an AMT for 15 years, had purchased a carbon monoxide detector with his own funds to wear on duty. Upon entering the store on Glen Cove Road his device started to beep and flash, indicating the carbon monoxide levels had hit a potentially deadly level. Biundo evacuated the store and called dispatch, who summoned the Carle Place Fire Department. Firefighters ventilated the store and determined the high levels of carbon monoxide were due to a faulty oven pipe. Pictured from left: Chief of Patrol Frank Kirby, Dunkin Donuts manager Shaan Javed, Operation Manager of Dunkin Brands Lou Becktold, Mangano, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Biundo, acting Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter, Dunkin Donuts Owner Bret Nadler, AMT Commanding Officer Peter Timinelli and Ajay Lag.
NSCFGC receives $10K contribution North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center has received a campaign contribution of $10,000 from the Charles and Mildred Schnurmacher Foundation to support the Guidance Center’s outpatient mental health program, including the Schnurmacher Bereavement and Trauma Program. The donation was made as part of a new campaign initiative to succeed the Campaign for the Next Generation that raised $2.5 million. “The next campaign phase will focus on sustaining our ser-
vices into the future,” said Guidance Center Executive Director Andrew Malekoff. “This is especially critical during a time when New York State is moving away from supporting universal access to community-based mental health care for children and families. We are grateful to the Charles and Mildred Schnurmacher Foundation for their decades of support to children’s mental health.” For more information about the Guidance Center, please visit www.northshorechildguidance. org, or email: development@ northshorechildguidance.org.
