Lafazan Nassau County Legislator Joshua A. Lafazan (D - Woodbury) joined with Jericho Union Free School District Superintendent Hank Grishman and Jericho High School teachers and students on Friday, Nov. 18 to unveil the district’s new anatomage table — a cutting-edge teaching tool that was purchased utilizing $75,000 in Community Revitalization Program (CRP) funds.
Anatomage tables are equipped with a virtual library of human and animal cadavers, and in medical settings, can be used as a clinical diagnostic tool because of how it allows for the visualization of any medical CT, CBCT or MRI scan. “With this state-of-theart technology, students will now be able to use this table to virtually dissect cadav-
ers, practice procedures, and gain a greater understanding of the human anatomy that will serve them well in their scientific studies,” Legislator Lafazan said. “It is always a pleasure to work with our local school districts to enrich the classroom experiences that are available to our students.”

Town grant program to aid small businesses
The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that $4.5 million in Federal money secured by the Town will soon be available to small business owners and non-profit organizations financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning Tuesday, November 29th, businesses and not-for-profit organizations can apply to receive up to $5,000 in grant monies through this new initiative, known as the ‘Oyster Bay Forward’ Grant Program. “After a year-plus long pandemic and now facing an economic recession, small businesses need all the help they can get to stay afloat,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “My administration earmarked these Federal funds to boost small businesses and not-for-profits, help them recover losses from the pandemic, and keep their operations moving forward in the Town of Oyster Bay.” The ‘Oyster Bay Forward’ Grant Program is open to businesses that employ up to 50 fulltime equivalent W-2 employees as well as sole proprietors. Additional eligibility criteria: • Applicant must be the principal (i.e. majority owner); • Entity must be a for-profit business, or 501c3 or 501c19 non-profit organization, with
annual revenue between $35,000 and $5 million; • At least 60 percent of non-profit expenses must have been programmatic in 2019; • Applicant must be in operation at the time of application and have been in operation prior to January 1, 2021; • Must have fewer than 50 full-time equivalent W-2 employees; • Certification and demonstration of economic hardship due to pandemic; and • Not be in default or arrears on past or current federal and state financing or funding programs. Grant monies can be utilized for a variety of purposes, including expenses that helped mitigate hardships caused by the pandemic. These could include the purchase of inventory and supplies, rent payments, utilities, property taxes, lease or purchase of equipment, as well as operating and emergency maintenance. Applications will be processed through the National Development Council (NDC) – who was retained by the Town to administer the ‘Oyster Bay Forward’ Grant Program.
